Poem- Ice bird

The iceberg
Floating amidst the frozen mountains
Sits, unstirred
Immune to wind
Immune to time

The bird
Iced over by a thousand years
Sleeps, trapped inside this beast
Storing his energy

His icy wings
Spreading through the ice
Massive
Their strong feathers lie
Untouched by the crisp frost that surrounds them

His eyes open
Awoken from peace
His body glows
His shining blue pierces through deep waters

He closes his eyes
And with all of his mind
All of his body
Prepared by two thousand years
He focuses

His feathers quiver
His chest rises
His whole body rests
Not even his heart stirs

And with one everlasting shriek
His eyes pointed towards the stars
The great ice is defeated
Shattered into snow
It is consumed by the raging waters

His wings rise
And he flies up into the skies
Dancing with the lights
That color the arctic sky

He flies on
His strong body still
Master of the skies
He glides for ever






Poem- FIREBIRD

Throughout space
Throughout time
Throughout mind
Throughout body

Everywhere he soars, his wings stretched across the horizon
He never sleeps, never rests
Never ceases to glide with might through existence

He folds his wings into his chest
And he accelerates to the upmost maximum
That any universe can hold

Blazing, he creates stars
He creates fire, he creates ice
He creates power, he creates dignity

He spins around, and out of his layered feathers shoot blades of fire
His pointed face sticks out of his eternal flame
His talons pierce the very flow of time

His chest rises, his wings uplifted
His chin raises, and he lets out a monstrous flame
The blaze roars, and he slips off into another dimension

Poem- The Mind

The mind
Infinite
Unbound
Limitless

Thoughts
Flowing through the stars
Surrounding their earths
They create the mind
Their own creator

Poem- Staring into Space I Wonder

Staring into space I wonder
Peering through infinity I marvel
I close my eyes, the darkness thickens

The trees, silhouettes against the sky
Are barriers
Before hope
Before opportunity

The stars, in all their might
Turn their blank canvas into a masterpiece
Their empty home into a community

Jupiter, with it's everlasting storm
Lights the sky like nothing else
Among the candles it is a fire
Among distress it is hope.

Cobra 3 Channel Mini Helicopter - Elite w/Gyro UPDATE

UPDATE

Thanks to customer support, a vital screw was located, and i received a free screwdriver to fit it. The screw was located on the upper propeller apparatus, and clamped the apparatus to the drive shaft. After it was tightened, the helicopter flew as well as it had out of the box.

UKF Dubstep 2011

Yeah. It's Amazing.

I had pre-ordered a few weeks ago, and this morning a awoke to the blazing desire to download the album. Overall, it combines Nero-esque dance beats, the high energy levels of Skrillex, and heavy drops and bass lines. The continuous mix is great; each track flows into the next as if they were one, which is the ultimate goal of a continuous mix. Its tracks are very listenable, they work together, and cover many traits of dubstep without creating a distance in style between the tracks.

Frankly, It's AWESOME.

Cobra 3 Channel Mini Helicopter - Elite w/Gyro REVIEW

Review: Cobra 3 Channel Mini Helicopter - Elite w/Gyro






Overview


Control- 8/10 - Easy and precise, although sometimes is harder to control while next to vertical surfaces

Maneuverability- 7/10 - Good but not the easiest to become accustomed to

Stability- 10/10 - Excellent stability throughout all movements

Hover- 9.5/10 - Incredibly easy but it can be hard to maintain exactly equal altitude

Lift Speed- 8.5/10 - Quick lift speed

Forward Speed- 7.5/10 - Good speed but slow acceleration to max speed

Flight Time- 6/10 - Good flight time of about 10-15 minutes but after about 7 minutes there is a noticeable difference in rotor speed

Charge Time- 6/10 - 30-40 minutes

Cost- 8.5/10 - $30-$50

Overall- 8/10


Overall this helicopter is quite excellent, as it flies well and due to its all metal body can SURVIVE ANY CRASH, as long as you're not stupid and you fly indoors.

Unfortunately I have had a bad experience with Cobra and the manufacturing of this helicopter. I flew it a ton the day i got it, and it flew fine. The next day, it couldn't fly, but instead would spin helplessly on the floor, regardless of minor adjustments. It became apparent that it had been poorly constructed, as the top rotor could move separately than its axle.

I really like this helicopter, and hope that mine will be fixed or replaced soon.

Thanks to customer support, a vital screw was located, and i received a free screwdriver to fit it. The screw was located on the upper propeller apparatus, and clamped the apparatus to the drive shaft. After it was tightened, the helicopter flew as well as it had out of the box.
