I am using the flaser which was described last week for two years now.
I stopped using LEDs because in those days that I experimented with
it these LEDs did did give enough light.

I am using a plain lamp which is normally used in torches.
I use the ones rated '2.5 Volt', which are normally found in torches
that have just one 1.5 Volt battery.
Then I feed the flasher circuit with 6 Volts!!! (4 pieces type AA battery
in series). The lamp lights up *very* brightly (as you can imagine),
but it doesn't burn, because the time it is switched on is too short
to develop the heat to make it burn. If you switch up the frequency,
it will burn later on. 

I have tuned my flashers to make the bulb light up as brightly as possible,
but that it will survive just an evening. Experimenting will cost a couple
of bulbs, but they are very cheap when you buy a package at a time.

Together with a reflector that I removed from my son's torch I have the 
brightest light effect, even brighter than guys who use (expensive and
heavy) Xenon flashers.

Is it worth the trouble to build these yourself (I'm not much on sewing,
and adjusting the lines sounds tricky) or should I just save up?  I
was thinking of something about 4' to 6' on a side, and I haven't seen
any detailed plans for parafoils in what few kite books I've checked.

There are a number of good books out there that may suit your needs. One 
that come to mind is SWEPT WING STUNT KITES by Mark Cottrell.  I had a
chance to glance through it at the AKA convention in LUBBOCK and placed
an order with KITELINES for a copy.  I thought it covered the theory
and evolution of the stunt kite fairly well (for the 5-10 minutes I
had to look over it).  It was a softbound document that looked like it
may have been made by a copier, but it was quite readable.  Lastly, if
you are near a kite store, try to get a copy of DRACHEN magazine (from
Germany).  It has one to two plans for stunt kites per issue with
measurements and grids to ensure proper dimensions.  Have fun !!!!

Hi flyers!

I'm going to be travelling to Japan (Fuchinobe, at the Institute for
Space & Astronautical Studies) and was wondering if anyone knew that
area at all, and if I should bring my kite.  (It won't fit in the
small bags I'll be checking, so it would mean a carry-on.)  I'll
be there late-October -> late november.  Is there good wind in that
area?  Parks in general where I could launch?  I"ll probably just
be taking my Spinoff...are there things/kites in Japan that would
be worth shopping there for?  

Thanks for any info!

I have several kites, but the wizzard continues to be one of my favorites.
I have the graphite version and it flies quite well in winds as light as say
3-4 MPH (I don't have a wind gauge though). 

I have had trouble with some stunts. I find that it sometimes shoulders 
and can be pulled out of the sky. I've talked to some people and
they suggest shortening the outhauls about 1/16 to 1/8", to make the kite
a bit more responsive.

The biggest thing I noticed when I first flew it, was the feel... it felt
quite solid, slightly more predictible than my NS Extreme (although I have
been tuning the NSE and it now flies extremely well). 

I would recommend the kite highly. However, you might also consider the 
NSE as its adjustible outhauls make it easier to customize to your
flying style..

Subject: Health News issue on sexually transmitted diseases
Organization: NDA
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 1992 03:28:41 GMT

[Here is a press release we received from Health News.]

Are you sexually active? 
Have you ever been sexually active? 
Do you intend to be?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above then the October 1992 issue of
Health News contains information that you must know. 

Never easy territory to negotiate, sexual relationships are now more
complex than ever - because of the dangers of sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), including AIDS. Health officials warn that the incidence
of STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and genital warts is silently
reaching epidemic proportions. Who is most at risk of the devastating
effects of untreated STDs - sterility for example, or at increased risk of
ectopic pregnancy? Teenage girls. Especially vulnerable to infection,
young adults must heed the warnings that this issue of Health News
espouses. Read it for yourself. If you are a parent, read it for and to
your teenagers. No one can afford to ignore the today's health realities. 

AIDS is the most widely publicized STD - and the most deadly. Cutting
expertise and advice from a wide variety of professional sources, Health
News updates the status of this disease - its spread and developments.
AIDS is not confined to high risk groups Health News warns - and maps out
ways to protect yourself and those close to you from this disease that
many consider "the greatest public health issue of our times."

Finally, Health News turns probing and investigative eyes to the
"Cinderella of psychiatric disorders" - anxiety disorders - long
under-researched and misdiagnosed. Hindering the lives of millions, Health
News provides an in-depth analysis of causes and treatment methods of
these "heart-stopping" disorders. 


THE ONLY CANADIAN HEALTH BULLETIN TO COME DIRECTLY FROM A MEDICAL SCHOOL,
Health News provides up-to-date, reliable information on a variety of
topics, from vegetarian diets, cholesterol and sore throats to chronic
fatigue syndrome and managing ulcers. Designed to promote greater health
awareness among the general public and media, Health News features
in-depth articles that are easy to read, easy to understand and always
interesting. Health News is also available in French as Action-Sante.

Subject: Serious question for Clinton bashers
Date: 16 Oct 92 17:58:30 GMT
Organization: Chevron

I've been thinking for a while about the large unfavorable rating for
Clinton.  I had a pretty unfavorable idea of him also, until I realized
that much of this information was coming from biased sources.

I am leaning towards voting for Clinton at this time.  I'd like to know
why I shouldn't.  I want to hear your reasons.  I'd like the comments to
be unbiased, so I would like to hear only comments from (relatively)
unbiased sources.  I don't want to hear any Republican interpretations
of Clinton policies, I want to hear Democrats knocking Clinton.  I want
to hear of Clinton's inconsistencies.  Let's stick with the facts as
well as we can.  Please leave out anything from before Clinton was 25.
I know what I was like then, and figure the statute of limitations on
stupid college behavior has run out.

I am serious.  I'll start with a couple Bush examples (please don't bash
Bush under this topic heading, I am looking for info on Clinton):

Anything George Will says = too biased, Will never liked Bush

C. Everett Koop (Reagan's surgeon general)
did say Clinton's health plan would be better than
Bush's as it would guarantee coverage for everyone.

David (?) Gurgin (Gurgin & Shields, PBS -- on Reagan admin or staff)
said he thought Bush went over the line with the Moscow student trip
stuff.  He called it "sewage-slinging".

If you want to make a point about Gore's environmental extremism, quote
the actual text with your point.  I might not interpret it the same
way.

You must be offering the net a free subscription, and only posting
the price to tell everyone what he or she will save.  Certainly you aren't
using USENET commercially, as that is a no-no.  And even if you were,
you would not be so stupid a to use samba for that purpose, as samba
EXPLICITLY states that samba is not to be used for any business other
than samba business.  Fork out the subscriptions or the apologies, pal.
Start with the apology to the net, then the apology to the SysOps of
samba for going against a rule shown to you EVERY time you log in.
 
If you are nice about it, maybe samba WON'T delete your account for
disregarding the rules, and MAYBE the net won't flame you to the stone
age.
 
Of course, the net could say screw second chances, and start filling
your mailbox now.  Then samba will delete you just to save their own
disk space.  Hmmm...you'd better apologize FAST, pal...that crowd looks
hungry for blood, and they have flame-throwers.
 
Howard Wilson II, non-spokesperson for the Net or samba, but someone
with the brains to follow a simple rule on an otherwise totally free
system.

as someone who deals with this DAILY, a few tricks (the store I buy for handles
about 3,500 titles)-
1) get a free standing rack if possible
2) find out who your competitors are. GET TO KNOW THEIR DRIVERS. let them
know you will be 'hands off' if THEY will be hands off...(ie don't piss me off
and I won't pitch your mag)
3) find out who is IN CHARGE, ask them (it reaaaally helps when folks go to ME
for free stuff- if I see it, don't know it, I WILL pitch it). if they approve
(don't see why they shouldnb't- are you a FREE PUBLICATION or a giant ad?-
then if any of the staff hassles you- you can tell them "so and so aproved it"
(end of discussion you hope)
4) accept the fact that there are jerks in the world who throw stuff away...
5) ask about recycling (ie if there is any left- tell them you will RECYCLE
them (even if you don't it gives them the nice feeling that instead of TOSSING
you mag-- it will go to a 'better place')


hope this helps-
