Yes, the haze has evaporated, or migrated, or flown — anyway, it's gone.
Yesterday afternoon the wind veered around to the northeast, where the bora lurks. A northeast wind may be fierce, and even dangerous, and whatever else you want to call it (especially if you live on the northeastern edge of the city, where you get it straight in the teeth), but I call it just about my favorite wind.
Perhaps you have never thought about the various winds, and their characteristics. Here's a thumbnail: "Scirocco," southeast wind. Warm and damp and, if it's strong, it becomes an unindicted co-conspirator of acqua alta.
"Garbin," southwest wind, known in Italian as libeccio. Its special trick is to bring fog — I mean real fog, not the haze of the past few weeks. It can also blow like blue blazes.
"Bora," northeast wind. Cold and dry. That's why I love it. I can deal with the cold, as long as it brings the dry. As for force, it can be ferocious, though here we don't usually get the extremes that can make the bora life-threatening in Trieste. Not made up.
There are many fine variations of wind as you work your way around the compass, but those are my main players. When I look at the weather forecast, I don't primarily care whether it says rain or sun, or even cold or hot. I look to see which direction the wind is predicted to come from, and its speed. I can deduce most of the other attributes from that, at least as far as my modest needs are concerned.
Oh sorry, that was redundant. All my needs are, by definition, modest. Example: Comes the bora, Erla is happy. You can't get much simpler than that, at least if you're a person who really doesn't care about rubies and platinum and Densuke black watermelons and lavender albino ball pythons, like humble, honest, hard-working, plain-speaking little me.
The neighborhood sound and light showPosted by: | Comments
South Asia has the monsoon season; Lapland gets the white nights; Egypt endures the periodic simoom.
Here we have two separate months of heartless humidity, almost inevitably in October and April, two otherwise lovely months which in Venice reveal their dark, unregenerate side by smothering the city in a combination of cool temperatures and sodden, sticky air. Even when the sun shines, the dampness in the atmosphere is implacable. A gauzy mist softens the city's silhouette, which is sheer photo-fodder, but its meaning in real life is quite otherwise. I haven't given this phenomenon a title yet because I generally call it by short, rustic, Anglo-Saxon names.
The sheets on the bed remain repugnantly damp, the towels refuse to dry, potato chips no longer crunch. I am forced to wash the clothes even though I know they will not give up their moisture without a long, long fight. Five days after hanging them on the line, I'm still touching them and trying to convince myself that they're dry. Of course they're not.
Gone is that heavenly summer period in which you could hang out a huge soggy beach towel at 10:00 AM and by noon it would be crackling like desiccated firewood. Not yet arrived is the long winter season in which the radiators toast the underwear and bake the bedsheets. We have to accept this interval because, frankly, the longer we can put off turning on the heat, the better for everyone; the gas bill is an instrument of torture unknown to the Inquisition (deepest respect to the victims thereof), and after the recent unpleasantness between Ukraine and Russia, we know the gas bills will be higher yet this winter.
So much for the sense of touch around here these days. Clammy.
As for sounds, some are new, and many are old but more noticeable, or maybe I'm just becoming more sensitive.
Here are some highlights from the daily soundtrack:
From around midnight to 6:00 AM, a voluptuous silence wraps the city as far as I can hear. It is plush, it is profound. It's so beautiful that I'm almost glad to wake up just to savor it.
At about 6:00, I hear a few random swipes of the ecological worker's broom rasp across the paving stones. It must be exhausting work, because it lasts such a short time.
At 7:30 I begin to hear small children walking along the street just outside our bedroom window — you remember that only the depth of the wall itself separates my skin from theirs — on the way to school. Little mini-voices mingle with the bigger voices of whoever is accompanying the tykes up to via Garibaldi. If the day has started right, it's a charming sound, though sometimes the voices make it clear that everybody needs to hit "reset" on their personal control panels.
Between 7:00 and 8:00 comes the thumping, clanking sound of the empty garbage cart bouncing down the 11 steps of the bridge just outside, guided by the ecological worker who sees no reason to fight gravity because he knows he's going to face a serious battle with it on the return trip, his cart loaded beyond the brim.
At 8:00 sharp we get the morning hymn played five times from the carillon in the campanile of San Pietro, just over the way. The piece is performed in several keys — mainly the key of flat — and the melody has worn itself into my mind so deeply that if the bells were ever tuned I think it would actually disturb me, like those people who lived along Third Avenue in New York who were so used to hearing the elevated train roaring past their windows that the day the train was removed, the transit company switchboard was overwhelmed with calls from panicky people crying, "What's that noise?" It was the silence.
Around 9:00 there is a brief but savage skirmish between what sounds like three dogs. This struggle to establish supremacy will be repeated, again briefly, toward 8:00 this evening.
At 2:00 the middle school in via Garibaldi lets out, releasing flocks of young adolescents in a homeward swarm. These children do not go silently, meditating on the poetry of Giosue' Carducci or the whims of the isosceles triangle. Engage feet, open lungs. You can hear their chaotic shouts all the way down the street. Lino says, "They've opened the aviary."
At 7:30 PM the carillon rings a another out-of-tune hymn, only two times. It's longer than the morning music, so somebody decided twice was enough.
For a while, the evening noises separate and recombine in various ways (children, dogs, etc.). But peace is not yet at hand. It's almost 11:00.
11:00 PM is the Hour of the Rolling Suitcase. Actually, by now almost every hour, and half-hour, belongs to the rolling suitcase, whose grumbling across the battered masegni has become a sound more common than shutters scraping open or banging shut.
What is it about 11:00? Where is this person (or persons) coming from? The flight arrivals list for Marco Polo airport gives options such as London, Vienna, or Barcelona, and Treviso Airport might be sending us passengers from Brindisi or Brussels, but whatever the starting point might have been, I marvel every night to hear that some intrepid soul's day has been spent coming to Venice, and now he or she is finally here. Every. Night. Maybe I should set up a little refreshment stand by the bridge and offer some kind of energy drink, like at a marathon.
And speaking of 11:00, some time around then I hear a vivacious small group come down the street, walking from the direction of Campo Ruga toward however many homes they belong to. You could imagine a bunch of friends meeting every once in a while, and even going home later than 11:00 (which often happens in the summer). But what kind of a group always breaks up at 11:00? In high spirits? Coming from the direction of Campo Ruga? A mah-jongg club? Tango lessons? Choir practice? A renegade chapter of the Loyal Order of Moose? I cannot conceive of what could be going on that would require a group to attend every night, especially in this neighborhood. And yet, they pass, and happily. This, too, perplexes me. Happy every night? Where do I sign up?
But wait. The day isn't over yet. Now we come to midnight — or almost.
For the past week or so, just as the day has drifted toward midnight, and every normal noise has faded away, and every normal person has shut the front door behind him or her, we've heard a sudden heavy metallic CLONNNNNGGGG from the other side of the canal. No, we don't ask for whom the bell is tolling, because it's not a bell. It's the red metal stele which indicates the direction of the Biennale ticket booths; a local consumer of controlled substances evidently cannot physically tolerate, philosophically accept, or rationally justify its verticality. It must be horizontalized, immediately. Maybe it's some prehistoric variation of hydrophobia.
And in the morning, another person or persons stands it upright again, our own lonely little menhir unknown to archaeology.
Lino discovered the culprit one evening, and pointed him out to me the next day. But what I still don't know is who puts the signpost upright again the next morning.
Maybe it's Sisyphus.
Farewell BrunoPosted by: | Comments
I've been noticing all sorts of interesting things around the city over the past few days, and while I regret to imply that a funeral qualifies as "interesting," I will state that often the deceased is extremely interesting and makes me sorry I never knew him or her, and often never even heard of them until the dread news was published.
A case in point is Bruno Fusato Signoretti.
The "interesting thing" was his funeral cortege this morning, which didn't completely surprise me when I saw it from the #1 vaporetto. I had only heard of him two days ago, when his obituary in the Gazzettino alerted me to the human behind a name with which I was familiar in exactly one way: Glass. That is, I knew that the name Signoretti was an important one on Murano, and that this company, or person, had begun (like many commercial ventures here) to sponsor some of the racers of the major Venetian regatas.
But there was much more to say about him, which I have learned now that he's gone.
I have mashed up a few biographies, one written by Tullio Cardona in the Gazzettino, and the other by Maurizio Crovato on the website veneziaeventi.com. Here goes:
Gondoliers and Murano are in mourning. On October 5, Bruno Fusato "Signoretti" passed away in his house on the Lido. He was 74 years old, and had been fighting a difficult disease since last March.
Fusato began working as a gondolier, son of a centuries-long tradition; his family was noted among gondoliers since 1600. In more recent times, his grandfather Vincenzo, nicknamed "Cencio," was chosen by Prince August Wilhelm of Prussia for his excursions in the lagoon in 1907, and when Cencio got married, the Prince sent him a silver coffee service and 1000 lire. (The new gondola he was able to order cost 300 lire, to give some idea of the magnitude of this gift.)
Bruno's father Luigi was the gondolier of Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth II.
When young Bruno began his career as a gondolier, he was known for being able to make six "murane" a day (roundtrips in his gondola from San Zaccaria to Murano). He became the substitute gondolier for Albino Dei Rossi, the legendary Venetian-rowing champion known as "Gigio Strigheta," filling in while Gigio was training for the races. "Thanks to this young man," Strigheta quipped, "when I'm not working, I make twice as much."
What with his love for the gondola, and for the regatas, and for his city, Bruno began to diversify. He retired from gondoliering and began to organize tourist traffic to Murano. Then he opened stores in London, and finally, in 1986, he acquired an abandoned glass furnace on Murano and established an important center for glassmakers and designers.
He also lived a kind of parallel career of philanthropy and benefaction. As Crovato states, he always kept the "old gondolier" in him. There was not one racer, not one aged gondolier, alone and forgotten, who didn't receive help from him in moments of need.
In 1991 he dusted off the abandoned tradition of the "disnar" (dinner) of the competitors before the Regata Storica. He sponsored difficult art restorations, and when La Fenice opera house went up in flames in 1996, he was a founding member of the reconstruction fund-raising initiative, and its first private contributor.
After September 11, 2001, he created the idea of the "Baptism of Venetian-ness" (battesimo di venezianita'). I can't tell you how it worked, but it raised funds for the firemen of New York.
His last joy, as they put it, was the victory of Giampaolo d'Este and Ivo Redolfi Tezzat of the Regata Storica 2014, a team which he had sponsored.
In remembering him, Tezzat gave Signoretti the baptism of gold, at least in Venetian terms:
"What he said, he did."
In a city where words outnumber deeds by an impressive margin, this is a statement whose brevity conceals a universe of meaning.
Hardly workingPosted by: | Comments
Here's some news on sick leave in Italy: There's a lot of it, especially on Monday.
Today is Monday, as it happens, which is why I bring this up.
A recent statistical analysis reveals that more than 30 percent of workers in the public sector have availed themselves of a doctor who will certify that they aren't able to come to work that day, the day being Monday, as I mentioned, or what they might prefer to call Sunday 2.0.
In Calabria, the numbers collected for 2012 showed an average number of 34.6 sick days; "average," of course, means that some people took even more. This number doesn't specifically say that that month was made up exclusively of Mondays, but we can suppose that at least ten of them were.
Whether this indicates that the environment at the toe of the Italian "boot" is extremely unhealthy, or that there are so many wonderful things to do there that a mere weekend isn't enough to enjoy even a few of them, I am not qualified to say.
I do have some theories, but will leave you to your own conjectures.

THE fifth studio album for the rockers, Get Hurt continues on a similar path of howling vocals and anthemic guitars.
Having teamed up with The 1975 and Arctic Monkeys producer Mike Crossley, the New Jersey outfit have managed to resist efforts to put a glossy sheen on their Who-like rock riffs. This a band that lives and dies by Brian Fallon's vocals. He growls, sounding like Daltry in his prime, but he can also dial it down – witnessed in two closing ballads Break Your Heart and Dark Places.
With previous record Handwritten breaking the top five in both the UK and US Charts, Get Hurt feels like an effort to catapult the band, Kings Of Leon-style, to super stardom. But they have not abandoned all of the rawness that characterised much of their previous work and that is a source of considerable merit.

Once Upon a Time Review: No One Is Safeby Christine Orlando at . Comments
Let the money change hands and the mourning begin.
"The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" finally revealed that, as many fans had wagered, Sheriff Graham was the Huntsman from Snow White. And just when I was sold on the chemistry between him and Emma, the Queen stole him back the only way she could.
I love Once Upon a Time because it's like a mini-movie every week and I'm completely enthralled by this intriguing other world filled with characters that feel familiar yet completely new.
One kiss with Emma and Graham is more than just enchanted, he's spellbound. Memories of his fairytale life come flooding back, including his spirit guide. It's the same wolf that ran Emma off the road to keep her in Storybrooke.
Before you know it, Graham is spiraling out of control with strange memories, the type that lead him to Mary Margaret and then Henry, who is the only one who doesn't think he's delusional.
As the story unfolds, we find out the reason Graham is with Regina but feels nothing is because - as the Evil Queen - she ripped out his heart Indiana Jones-style and holds it hostage. The best part about Graham's search for his missing heart is that it leads to his breakup with Regina where he tells her that feeling nothing is better than being with her. Oh, you know that's not going to go over well.
Then, Regina provokes a fight with Emma over her man. Calling it a cat fight is underestimating these two women. They're more like tigers. The power radiates off of both of them. Someday it'll be fun to see a brawl between them that doesn't get cut short.
The end is heartbreaking. Graham tenderly ministers to Emma's wounds as Regina stalks down her secret passageway to her lair... where a heart awaits her vice-like grip. The final scene proves two things: Emma's walls can't protect her heart from being broken - and Regina is definitely an evil witch.
Other questions I'm left with:
- What type of gardening was Mr. Gold doing in the forest?
- What secret did Snow White spill that led the Evil Queen to want her dead?
- Is there a reason why the wolf has one red and and one black?
I can't believe we have to wait until January to see the rest of Snow and Charming's love story or find out if Emma suspects Regina's involvement in Graham's death. As much as I love the holidays, I'll be counting the days until this fascinating fairy tale returns.

Emma is supposed to break the curse, thus bringing back all the happy endings. Wouldn't it be fair for Graham to revive after the final battle is over?
Regina knows she's the queen. Shes always known. In the previews for OUAT it says it. I think she's starting to realize Emma has something to do with breaking the curse. As fir Grahams death, I'm super sad about it. I didn't want him to die. I was really hoping he'd find his heart :( can't wait for more!!!!
Oh my goodness, that was heartbreaking. (Pun not intended). The Huntsman/Grahame was sooo compelling in this episode, and I was so excited that he was remembering stuff. Man, Regina is RUTHLESS. But maybe death by magic can be undone; that's a recurring theme in fairy tales, isn't it? And Mary Margaret slept with the doctor; isn't he Doc, one of the dwarves? Eeek...((shudders)) I totally thought Gold had killed the wolf, who gardens in the woods?! I was surprised. And WHY was Mr. Gold encouraging Grahame? Another note: Forget House and HIMYM. This was the best acting we got from Jennifer Morrison ever. And I don't understand how people didn't know that Regina remembered everything - I thought that was obvious from the beginning. It even says so in the opening segment.(shrugs)
@AliceGranger I'm with you. True Loves Kiss True Loves Kiss True Loves Kiss
Wasn't the huntsman killed in the original story? That's kind of why I expected Graham not to last too long once it was revealed that he was the Huntsman. I was torn between him being the Huntsman or the Black Knight, but the former just fit a lot better. And OMG yes! Regina totally knows she's the Queen. There were all these subtle hints since episode one, and this confirmed it. Though, as someone else pointed out, this is the first time that magic and reality directly collided (the passageway to fairytale land doesn't count I don't think as Regina was simply trying to close off the passageway from Storybrooke's end). Maybe this is just another step of the curse undoing itself as the Huntsman's death fufills his "part" in the grand overall fairytale. The curse pretty much put everyone in limbo, as time "froze" in Storybrooke. As time is finding its pacing with all the fairytale characters, this pretty much jumpstarted it, as Graham was never intended to die by the curse's design. Regina/The Queen, with all the characteristics of being unable to forgive or have compassion, is contributing to her undoing. Like all evildoers, they are responsible for their own demise, at least in some way. This is Regina's. I can't wait for January! I wonder if Rumpel is playing both sides against the middle; after all, Rumpel was never really on the Queen's side, he only wants a life for himself, granted it's something of a skewed perception, but he's always been a creature to further his own goals, as opposed to maintaining someone else's. As evil as he is, he's been shown to help each of the Storybrooke's characters when Emma arrives. He knows who Emma is, and after all, he was the one who prophesized that her coming with undo the Queen's curse, so perhaps he's simply contributing to that as well. Dammit! January can't get hear fast enough. Oh well, I'll consider it a birthday present as January is my birthday month. I just hope the show doesn't lose its focus or momentum like Lost did.
Really good episode! However, I pretty much predicted Grahams
death early on in the show and when it actually happened, I didn't find
it in me enough to really care that he died in the end. His character
just wasn't all that around a stand out to me, so I feel like I'm not
going to miss much from Graham. There are chances we may still see him in flashbacks, since he never did die there, but I think overall he's pretty much dead. My one problem with this show was that it moves pretty slow, and the storyline moves pretty slow as well. For example, last night's episode, for me it took pretty much the halfway point of the episode to get interesting. Although, I appreciate the writers taking the risk and killing off a character. Hopefully this is a sign that things will be moving in a faster direction and give the show a little push. It kind of reminds me of when The Secret Circle killed off one of their main characters, the episode right after and those that followed changed the game around and escalated the show to a whole new level making it even more interesting. I will say though that when The Secret Circle killed off their character, even though I only cared about that character a little bit, the scene at the end of that specific episode was really sad and actually got to me. For some reason, OUAT didn't do that for me when Graham died. It just only made me dislike the Evil Queen even more.
they just killed him!! o_o.... I'm officially shocked... even though it was expected.
is killing off the main characters a trend these days, cuz I'd like to see a show in which a main character doesn't die in the first half of the season-.-
Noooo please they have to bring Graham back , he is one of the reasons I watch this show !!!! Can someone plz teLl me what happens in the January preview I couldn't watch what the spoilers where...
I love this show , but it won't be the same without Grahan !!
Mr. Gold doesn't look like he's doing any gardening at all.
More like he's burying or digging up something with that huge spade...
Up till this episode I've been doubting my taste in television for watching this show, then Graham swept in and owned this episode! Finally we have someone remembering his fairytale alter ego so the whole plot doesn't feel like a giant elaborate lie. Everyone should just go make out with Emma. Right now.

Hello Everyone....... I'm new here :) I am 30 years old (just turned, ugh!)... I recently got out of a 10 year marriage, my divorce was finalized in May. Dennis and I are engaged... We are a blended family, I have two boys, Calahan who is 10 years old, and Noah who is 4. Calahan has ADHD. Noah was born with an extreamly rare genetic disorder. We were told when I was 4 month pregnant with Noah that he wouldn't survive - period. He was born at 33 weeks, at 1lb 12.2oz and was 13 3/4 inches long. He was in the NICU for nearly 7 weeks, coming home the day after his due date. (his genetic disorder is called Mosaic Trisomy 16, you can check it out at www.trisomy16.org [2] and under the "OUR STORIES" section, under the MT16, you can click on NOAH and read some of his story.) ... Dennis has an (almost) 2 year old daughter, named Jessa. We are hoping to have one or two of our own... Ummmmm... I write (poetry, short stories, novels --the last one I finished is 500 pgs long), I'm an amateur Photographer... I'm a huge TV & Movie buff... I've just lost over 50lbs.... I love the rain and the stars & moon... That's a little about me I guess :)

The criminal patterns that lead to civil commitment show why this legal action is reserved for extreme circumstances. A 50-year-old Ramsey County man convicted of sexually assaulting six people admitted, during treatment, that he had assaulted at least a hundred more boys and girls between the ages of 2 months and 18 years. Another Ramsey County man was convicted of three violent rapes and diagnosed as a sexual sadist. A 33-year-old Carlton County man had raped and murdered a woman and sexually touched women during 15 burglaries.
Several of the offenders didn't hire a lawyer to prepare their appeals. The arguments for removal from the treatment program included a lack of evidence that criteria for commitment were met, inaccurate determinations of whether a offender was highly likely to reoffend, ineffective counsel, a request for a less-restrictive alternative to commitment and the constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy.
Each Court of Appeals denial addressed the legal issues relevant to the case. And every ruling stated that the review was occurring in a light most favorable to the district court's findings. The higher court said a lower court's decision had to be clearly erroneous for it to be overturned.
The only case with a dissenting opinion from an Appeals Court judge involved Cedrick Ince, 24, who served less than three years in prison for two sexual assaults. In his dissent, Judge Larry Stauber said Ince's civil commitment was clearly erroneous because he didn't have the required history of violent behavior and wasn't highly likely to reoffend.
"The fact that this case even made it to district court for a commitment hearing is also interesting and strange," Stauber said.
Ince's case will be reviewed by the Minnesota Supreme Court.
A faulty crystal ball?
Attorney Greg Schmidt has represented several offenders fighting civil commitment. One of his clients was accepted to a long-term outpatient treatment facility where he would have been under intense supervision by the Department of Corrections, Schmidt said. But when Washington County officials petitioned for civil commitment, the treatment facility rejected him.
The decision to commit him was based largely on psychological experts' predictions about his possibility of reoffending, Schmidt said, adding that nothing in that process is clearly objective.
"It's a judgment call," he said. "They're trying to looking into the future."

text: Vergne tops first day of F1 young drivers test 15 November, 2011 Jean Eric Vergne ended day one at Yas Marina Circuit young driver testing fastest of all in the Red Bull Racing RB7 Nov.15 (Reuters) Formula One turned its attention to promising young drivers, and one older face, on Tuesday with teams testing developments and tyres for 2012 at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina. Jean Eric Vergne in the cockpit of Red Bull Racing RB7 Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne, who drove a Toro Rosso in Friday practice for last weekend's grand prix at the circuit, had a taste of Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull and set the fastest unofficial time of the day in one minute 40.011. The 21-year-old was followed on the timesheets by compatriot Jules Bianchi, who kicked off three days of testing for Ferrari with 85 laps and a best of 1:40.960. Third was Canadian Robert Wickens, switching to Renault after taking part in Friday practice last week for Virgin Racing, with Switzerland's Fabio Leimer fourth on his test debut for Sauber. The aim of the test is to help young drivers progress to Formula One while also giving teams a chance to try out new ideas at a time when testing is otherwise banned. However, some teams have been accused of using the test as a money-spinner, trying out an array of well-funded youngsters eager for a chance, while others have focused more on their own technical agendas. Jules Bianchi drives the Ferrari 150 Italia. McLaren's use of Gary Paffett stretched the definition of a young driver test, with the Briton now in his 31st year and older than many of the regular F1 race drivers including Sunday's winner Lewis Hamilton. "I think he's still young enough to be in Formula One," McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh said at the weekend. "He's someone who deserved and still does deserve an opportunity in Formula One so I think we are very proud to be able to showcase him." Paffett was fifth fastest, sharing the day's testing with compatriot Oliver Turvey. Britain's Max Chilton did his first laps in the Force India and Finland's Valtteri Bottas tested for Williams. Briton Sam Bird was in the Mercedes, who see the test as an important chance to try out their new exhaust positions developed for 2012. Dani Clos drove for HRT "We've got a comprehensive programme, probably like everyone else we have a list that's bigger than the time available," team principal Ross Brawn said at the weekend. "In our case, the priority is the technical programme… we've got Nico (Rosberg) for the long term and we are not right now in the market for a young driver." Other youngsters testing were Frenchman Charles Pic, linked to a race seat at Virgin/Marussia next year, Spaniard Dani Clos with HRT, Britain's Adrian Quaife-Hobbs (Virgin), Monaco's Stefano Coletti (Toro Rosso) and Venezuelan Rodolfo Gonzalez (Team Lotus).

Can thrust angle cause rolling out of loops (unintentionally)?
So I've got an old Extreme Flight Extra 300E that I really love... in fact, the motor blew off of it (right through the cowl) mid-flight, destroying the original motor cage, but the rest of the airframe was fine - so I built my own motor cage/mount - which, so far, is holding up great.
When I rebuilt it, I'm not sure I added 3 degrees right and down thrust perfectly... it may be off one way or the other.
Now, when I try doing a somewhat tight loop - it always rolls out of it to the right. It's not just loops, anytime I pull back somewhat heavy on the elevator, it wants to roll out right - almost caused me to go in tonight
I've already checked the lateral balance and it seems fine...
Could an incorrect thrust angle cause it to behave like this???
|Sep 20, 2011, 09:51 PM
Does the elevator pushrod go to one elevator or both. If it goes to only one elevator that is connected to the other elevator with a rod, then you may be getting unequal deflection of the two elevators under heavy load.
|Sep 20, 2011, 09:58 PM
Edit - I checked the model and the elevator linkage is on the right side, so I don't think that's the problem since it's rolling out that way...
|Sep 21, 2011, 01:35 AM
If the elevator control horn is attached to the bottom of the right elevator then while pulling up for a loop the right elevator could very possiblly deflect up more than the left elevator under a heavy air load. That would be the same as giving right aileron causing the plane to roll right.
I would think that your problem is more of a control surface/wing warp situation. Engine right and down thrust is more of a yaw and pitch moment rather than a roll moment. I suppose with a lot of dihedral the yaw moment of the righ thrust could induce a roll to the right. But it doesn't seem that such a situation would be limited to just doing loops. The thrust induced roll would also happen at high speed straight and level flight.
|Sep 21, 2011, 01:46 AM
Yes, incorrect thrust angle can lead to screwing out of loops. Of course any plane will screw out of a loop if you try to loop too tight so first be sure you are not trying too loop too tight and causing a wing to stall.
Standard test for correct side thrust is as follows:
Fly your model straight into wind at full throttle and pull up into a vertical climb. The theory here is that as the airspeed bleeds off, a continued vertical climb is now fully dependent on engine power alone. Do not use rudder (or rudder trim) to correct for any deviation from the vertical. Your model will do one of three things.
|Sep 21, 2011, 01:46 AM
I have seen several sport planes do this and never thought to check elevator deflection. I assumed it was thrust. I'll have to check this out! Thanks!

Too much elevator is the first thing to look at. Then a crooked airplane( including elevator bending ). Then the thrust.

But I would definately first look at how you're doing your loops. A full elevator loop will most likely cause you to roll out. A smooth loop will allow you to have more control throughout the whole thing.
Good luck!

I had an early arf that always rolled out. It took me a while to notice that one wing panel was 3/4 inch longer than the other. I also hah one plane with a heavier wing panel than the other. It had the same problem, but only slightly. It can be a hard thing to find.
|Sep 24, 2011, 09:37 AM
How does it stall?
|Sep 24, 2011, 07:37 PM
If your model has no warps in wings, you are probably entering a loop at too slow a speed and stalling at the top of the loop where motor torque takes over and plane rolls out of the loop. The same will happen if you try to loop too tightly, wing stalls and torque takes over. If you have plenty of power, try doing larger diameter loops and reduce power when you go inverted and as you start down from the top of the loop. I have a P-26 Peashooter (own design-retired) that usually fell out of loops and rolls. It did not develop enough airspeed in the climb due to the drag of the dummy radial engine etc., and excess wing loading which caused it to be stall prone which allowed tourque to take over and make it roll out of the loop. ( That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. )
|Sep 26, 2011, 01:42 AM
Hmm... excess wing loading has been a possibility for the planes that I have seen do this. One plane I had I tried it with the recommended setup, seemed to loop fine. I added a larger engine and more batteries. Afterwards, it started rolling out of loops. Probably added 1-1.5 lbs. I assumed it was only the torque of the larger motor.

Bank Bonuses May Come Early
It's unclear what will happen regarding tax policy. Leading Republicans like Rep. John Boehner (R., Ohio) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) have pledged to extend all the tax cuts for all Americans and possibly filibuster legislation that doesn't achieve that goal. But with a screeching deficit to address and the public still angry at Wall Street, top earners may not be able to avoid a return to Clinton-era tax rates for long.
"What most of Wall Street wants is a short-term windfall - for Wall Street," says James Gomes, director of the Mosakowski Institute for Public Enterprise at Clark University. "That would mean a White House that seeks to lower taxes on higher incomes, lower capital gains taxes, the permanent end of the estate tax, and less financial regulation."
As the Obama administration searches for a new economic adviser to replace Larry Summers, Gomes joked: "The best person to advise the White House on policies like these is probably Gordon Gekko."

Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee Brake Problems
windsock3 Posts: 1I was forced to use Midas to repair the brake booster in my 99 Grand Cherokee last April. Since then I've had numerous problems with my cruise control disconnecting for no reason. I recently had an electric car starter installed and I'm having the same problems with that as well. My question is could the mechanic that installed the brake booster have done anything to the system to make this happen. It's as thought the brake pedal is being inadvertently tapped to disconnect the other systems. Any help would be appreciated.
arbordev Posts: 14.0 6cyl.
The chime was going off advising me that my coolant was low. Upon a further look, I found that the float had fallen off the float sensor in the plastic tank, I fixed it and put it back on. Unfortunately the screen and chime kept saying the coolant was low, so I finally went to jeep and bought a new sensor and seal for the coolant tank. After installing it, I had not gone fifteen minutes and the chime and the screen advised me that the coolant was low.
"i'm having a problem with the pedal going almost to the floor when the engine
is running. With the engine off pedal is normal."
Sounds like there is either air in the lines or a problem with the power booster. This happened to me when I didn't pay attention and installed new front brake calipers on the wrong sides, which put the bleed valve at the bottom instead of the top (allowing air to remain in the calipers.)
pjs412 Posts: 2I recently changed a bad booster on my 89 cherokee. the master cylinder worked fine before i changed the booster so i put it back on. i bled the system until i had clean fluid at all 4 wheels, yet had little resistance on the pedal. so i installed a new master and bled the system again. still had little resistance on the pedal so i adjusted the plunger on the booster out. it now stops, but too well. the pedal is VERY sensitive so much so that the pedal doesn't travel far enough to operate the brake lights, but the pedal will still travel all the way to the floor. What do I need to try next?
hello not sure if i am doing this write i am new to this site i am trying to post 1 but i get directed to last so i will try again i have a 1990 cherokee and i only have front brakes working does anyone know if there is a sencor or wire or vacuum line to the booster or mastercylinder thanks
dkblue69 Posts: 1In my estimation, your over-heated brakes are being caused by sticky calipers. Many times, when you replace brake pads, this forces the internal piston seals to operate in a region that has accumulated residue (rust, sludge, etc). I have had the same thing happen on my Chevy truck. You may be able to get away with just changing pads once without this happening, but its likely you would either need to change the calipers or rebuild them with new piston seals after honing the caliper cylinders for the car's second brake job. I know this is probably getting to you about two years late, but there it is.
1998 Jeep Cherokee 6 cyl 4x4 Automatic
I just replaced the front u-joints, rotors, and pads on it. However after test driving the jeep, a horrible clunking/griding noise comes from what sounds like the front left side of the jeep at LOW speeds. Applying the brake at 35mph+ renders nothing at all, just at low speeds. It is very loud and annoying, you can feel it right in the pedal. Any ideas? I double checked the pads/rotors and everything looks fine. I am guessing it has something to do with ABS? I need help! Thanks...
drbrake Posts: 1It is most likely that you have set the booster output pushrod too long.
This rod should almost never be adjusted. The tolerance on the rod length is ± 0.007"
With the rod too long you are keeping the ports in the master cylinder closed and pressure is building up in the system and probably dragging the brakes.
Back off the length of the rod until you are sure you are not trapping any pressure in the system. This has to be checked with vacuum in the booster and the system at normal operating temperatures.
hope this helps
Yes, I did! I had recently replaced the u-joints in the front wheels and part of the spindle got broken a bit with the hammer, so when it was spinning the abs sensor was not picking up the correct reading, so at low speeds it caused the abs to kick in and go haywire. What I did was disconnect the abs sensor in the front wheel and it turned the abs off, now my brakes work fine.
Hi all!
I've got a 2004 Grand Cherokee (Limited, 4.7V8, etc) that is coming up on 150K and is in need of some new brake components once again. Rather than go to the shop and get bent over like usual, I'm going to just tackle this one myself. I've done it before, so that's not the issue. My problem is that I don't know what pads and rotors to go with.
Now, I'm not looking to cheap out here. I'd like to get some pads that offer good performance for towing. I pull a 12 foot open trailer for both work and play, with loads ranging from a couple motocross bikes to 2000 pound of various raw materials. So towing performance is mandatory.
Conversely, this Jeep- despite being dearly loved- has seen a hard life of work, play and roadtrips, and wil probably be lucky to see 200k, so I don't want to get anything too expensive. Just something to last me the life of the vehicle.

ppaul3 Posts: 1Hi James,
I just finished my brake job this afternoon. I went with the ceramic pads from auto zone. They all had a life time warranty. so I went with the cheep ones. I found out during my pizza delivery days that the metallic pads did last longer but the rotors didn't last as long. If you need to take the rotors off, good luck!. You need to get the retaining clip off the stud the get the biggest hammer you have and beat the hell out of it to loosen it off the hub. use a piece of wood to protect the rotor.
hello, i have a 2002 jeep grand cherokee overland. i just changed the front rotors and pads and also changed the rear rotors and pads, i have a squeaking noise coming from the back, i had the same noise before i changed all the parts. anybody know what the problem is? plz help the noise is driving me nuts!

All I have in this world to live for, to hope for, to want for, are words. Words are the reason I am leaving for New York. I feel like I could find my words there. Words that would make a difference, that would change the world, heal the ancient wounds in us all. Words that would incite positive action, spread love, soothe babies, stroke lovers, save nations, and give me some purpose for the stirring in my soul. So I am going where my heart is pulling. And the only things keeping me from being a truly great poet is disclipline. I have not yet mastered memorization. Yes, I understand how pathetic this is. Sometimes I find myself under the stern gaze of the audience, desperately groping for the words inside my mind, hoping my performance does not reflect my lack of preparation. This will be unacceptable in New York, where the scene is alive and hungry. In order to make it there, I must be dedicated. And since it is really all I have, there is no excuse for anything less than excellence. So with all this new available time on my hands, I can devote it to writing, memorizing and perfecting the poetic flow, the cadence, the rhythm of spoken word.

His name is Mewsik. Sometimes I sit in silence while he sleeps just staring at him. This little gray fur ball, weighing no more than a pound, had saved me from tremendous sadness. After the breakup I was only seeking a companion to stave off the lonliness of an empty bed, and I found him. And for something so young and tiny, he is full of life, constantly climbing and tackling. How can anyone be sad in the presence of an adorable kitten? Its damn hard, I'll tell you. And I couldn't be happier. Even now I am only writing this to distract myself from noticing the slow passage of time. All I want is to run home to him. And while he is all gray, he has still managed to bring back the color to my life. I'm glad I found my Mews.
New York is all I think about now, when thoughts of her are kind enough to give me leave of their daunting presence. I dream of the grafitti scrawled, broken down buildings where racist conditions gave birth to a beautiful brown revolution called Hip Hop. I dream of culture clad youth clinging to concrete streets crafted into a home. I dream of changing seasons, bathing in faceless tides of people, fading into the anonimity of the crowd, losing myself to find something greater in the hustle and bustle of each skin prickling moment of actual living. Since I was a preteen with overgrown fantasies of a life as a famous columnist, respected author, and acclaimed poet, I knew that New York was the place for me. Certainly it is the place for people watching, as we writer types tend to do obsessively. Its like we are constantly searching for whatever that thing is that connects us with the rest of humanity. It is a very self involved kind of work, maddening really. But I wanted it desperately, all cliches included. Give me the coffee shops for psuedo intellectuals and self proclaimed life artists! Give me the filthy subways laced with unstable, bouisterous bums! Give me the pizzas, bagels, and hots dogs that could only taste that good because it was sizzled in some glorious brand of New York seasoning that has kept America happily obesed for years! Give me days and nights in the blistering cold sucking down $7/pack cigarettes, vowing under my frozen breath to quit the damn things! Give me the rude strangers, middle eatern taxi cab drivers, poverty, chaos, and all the wretched beautiful splendor the place has to offer! Of course I've never been, not even for a brief visit, but a girl could certainly dream. And if there was anything I was good at, it was concocting a good dream.

Work on your timing.
Your playing is good, but you need to work on transitioning your fingers cleaner, and just getting a cleaner overall sound, and work on the timing of your frets, make sure you hit those frets, you don't start bending the notes, cause that's what i've noticed has happened in those high single notes. Great job though in Miami shark.
Rated 4 / 5 stars

loved playing miami shark.
feels a little empty but it is a solo.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This brought me back to when I was a kid.Love it in Miami Shark!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
It really fits with 'Miami Shark' since if you hang onto an plane this song comes out very loudly! Badly the stopwatch only goes to 99:99.
But somehow the scratches don't fit to it.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
these are pretty much all nostalgia points. overall, not all that great. also, whatever string(s) you're playing the main theme on (i'm assuming first or first and second) is/are flat. look out for that.

Mafia II

Posted: 04/09/2010
Can't list any Pro's for this game other than it plays well enough and looks good enough, as it has too many Con's.
So in its bad books are:
1. Content that was suppose to be in the game has been made DCL Only, most released about 2 weeks after it. Looks like 2k is trying to Out cash cow EA.2. It _Requires_ Steam to play. Why? this is not a on-line game like the GTA series, so why do I have to install Steam to get it working.3. Lack of QA, it feels rushed. Missions fail if Not done in a set fashion. One if you try to earn money before going back to your friends apartment you get stuck as it won't allow the friend to leave the building, forcing you to replay it.4. AI batteries not included, any escorts or help you have get in the way at times Stopping you dealing with attackers. Other times they Attack random walking NPC's causing you to get police agro when you are trying to run5. Zero free mode as there are No side missions, they removed them and made them all DLC.
Game has been rushed out with DLC due soon that should have been in game, which will cost an extra $US10 each. After playing the original Mafia to death this is one game I won't

Other reviews have covered how good it is so posting just to point out 2 things I find very annoying with this game.
1. Zero options to target nearest monster/attacker via a key, only method to target anything is via mouse click.
You normally have 3 companions so you have to avoid clicking them when you also have 5-15 attackers swarming around them you have to target.
Ok some will say the game has auto targeting, but its far to slow to engage attackers when your taking hits and you can't switch to a target that has the least health to kill it quickly.
2. loading ...
Get used to it you will see that far too much. Moving between area's on my semi decent pc takes a good minute and longer sometimes for the story line area's.
So get used to seeing "loading ..." you will soon hate it.
Other than those two issues it plays well and has about the best story line for a RPG and I'm no were near finishing after a week, wish I could have said that for the Gothy Fallout 3 version. Ok half of my time is stuck in Loading screens but same issue The Witcher suffered from till it was patched
Fallout 3: Game Of The Year Edition

Glad I waited for the Gothy version now, as the standard game is very short but helps having all the expansions.
But and it's got a few Butt's.
It is an Oblivion Mod, nothing more nothing less. So it suffers from the Oblivion issues, e.g. lack of combat, mash the attack button till it's dead. So unless you play it on very hard it's not hard to play at all.
So to keep the console market happy they added VATs a auto aim feature, as you can't Aim in the game its all pure luck. So if you want a FPS game this isn't it, look to the Stalker or simmilar games for that.
As for Vista issues yeah its suffers but running in compatablity mode helps, as atleast then when it does crash it gives and error window to kill the game from, if not you have to ctrl alt del then right click the icon on the desktop menu to be able kill it.
So nice Oblivion mod but thats it
Grand Theft Auto 4

For a console port is a Good game.
It has its niggles and sadly normal console fare of Frustration Missions, as some can Only be done in a certain scripted way[console limitation], which wouldn't be an issue with the extra power/memory from most gaming PC's so having items you just got rid of as there explosives respawning as there part of the script and having to find out there back as you drive near them thinking the way is clear as you go around a corner.
Graphically for me its a bit colour-less or bleached out like Halflife, colours just don't stand out.
Game play, on my pc which is higher spec than most I see no loading lag or slow downs at all.
One bit of advice for this game is don't buy a controller for it like I did, unless you broke your gaming teeth on consoles. Other than flying the helicopters using a keyboard and mouse is a lot more intuitive I found for the most part.
Crysis (Classics)

Wheres the game?
It stops with a sudden ending when your just getting started ie same as HL2 just waiting for a Paid expansion to Feed EA.
Ok looks good but its been hyped and EA-fied wait for the Crytek Far Cry 2 not this poor excuse for a FPS.
Ballistics issues all through the game:
Headshot from close range and target has the chance to run 50 meters.
Empty a clip into someone at close range from any of the weapons and again they run away, even accounting for armour but not the starter soliders just in combats.
Then theres the AI its worse than Farcry's. Soliders don't investigate noises anymore unless they See something linked to the noise, no more throwing something to distract them to get closer.
Then theres issuses with saving at the wrong point and getting stuck as the game has no way out e.g. the VTOL flight missions, lets just say at one point if you stop moving you cant complete the mission as theres a barrier you can Not pass.

Script writers got a free reign in this series. So many soap opera sub plots that lead no where.
One to watch just to watch, episodes 14-22 were particularly painful to watch full of fluff.
hope series 4 pulls it back but Series 3 is definatley one to buy once the price drops.

The Crash
- SImon Rushton
- 4/6/11
Pre-Hays Code films continue to surprise and delight with their mature and downright honest depiction of relationships. The treatment of the frailty and shortcomings of married partners (admittedly the stinking rich where infidelity can be explored at one remove and is par for the course) and their romantic entanglements is refreshingly frank. Affairs are tolerated and freely admitted to and the erring partners are not unduly punished but do go through a redemption nevertheless. The exchange between Ronnie Sanderson and Geoffrey Gault over who will claim Linda's love and loyalty is a wonderful set piece of restraint and decency. Ronnie simply pulls out his cigarette case and offers Geoff a smoke, they square up to each other and, in the most articulate fashion, agree to differ. Similarly when Ronnie confronts Linda over her pursuit of him the exchange ends with him not minding whether she loves him or not, he'll simply do anything to get her, he 'loves her so'. The camera tracks in in the most beautifully executed dolly shot right into an extreme close up of Ronnie as Linda buries her head on his shoulder and submits. In fact, the framing of shots throughout the film is impressive. Fair's smuggling of Linda's letters into his drawer while fumbling for the gun in his pocket is another example of quite risk taking camera work. The scene in the garden at Mrs Hazeltine's hotel is beautifully lit and the flirtatious exchange between Linda and Ronnie is so subtley written and performed it never gives you quite what you expect but delights at every turn, especially Chatterton's delivery of the line '...and women are so helpless.' Paul Cavanagh has the most wonderfully slightly husky voice and his diction is pure balm for the ears. But the thing that really entrances me about this film, like so many early Warners, is the incidental music. W Frank Harling's melodies and presumably Leo Forbstein's orchestrations are simply beautiful. How I wish the music tracks still existed!

This is the 14th RAPID Chess.com Tournament! Only players who play their games QUICKLY (who have a low Avg. Time per Move) and who have completed 5 games already can register. Games have a 1 day time control and the games in the round start immediately! (That is 10 games starting right away and going fast!!)Think fast and good luck!
i m losing all my games, but will bet a bronze medal.
The answer to the "vacation" problem is "no vacation" tournaments. Don't sign up for a "vacation" tournament if you are interested in relatively quick play. On the other hand if you get hit by bus, then you will have the problem. It does solve the problem of people who are one move from being mated and decide to take a few weeks off to delay the fatal end.
mathiasburton has 1 month and 7 days left of vacation, which means that if he doesn't come back, it'll go into a new year, where I believe vacation time is reset. It could be February or March before we get to see round 2.
mathiasburton is the actual wrong guy, who intends to win the match by tit or tat....its really misfortunate !!!
i think something needs to b done regarding this vacation thing
coz some losers simply take the vacation to extend the time of there defeat .....don't know y !!!!!its high time chess.com needs to come up with a plan B to tackle this .....as we all know if someone is too busy to play his games then he should not have registered in the first place !!!!all the players who have completed the games need to lookup everyday to check if the tournament has finished or not else v might loose......neither we are jobless !!!! :(
Oh, I see the "Offer Draw" button becomes "Claim Draw" button for the first time!
Hi to everybody
IS'nt there any time limitation for players some plays may take monthes of time??I have played all my playes but the others may take long for a month.I think there should be a time limitation.eg each player should complete all his plays in 15 days.
No! Only 1!

Brand new fork. Rebound adjust does basically nothing. Can't really slow down the rebound at all. Anyone else seen this. I set sag up as usual. I have the first model as well from a couple years back and it feels lightyears better. Way more plush. When I first got the fork, I noticed a little oil leak around the upper adjustment levers on the right stanchion. Figured it was not a big deal. If this is how this fork is supposed to feel I am no longer a Fox fan.

When Capcom showed its first trailers of Japan-developed Resident Evil 5, the company was caught totally off guard by the firestorm of racism accusations in its depiction of primarily black African zombies fighting a white American protagonist. Surely the case for the title was not helped by the inclusion of enemies that were literally zombified spear-throwing tribesmen. A recent Gamasutra article delves into the action plan Capcom took at the time, as well as the steps it continues to take to ensure future games are more culturally sensitive.
Capcom took steps in both refinement of the game's content and via a public relations campaign to address these issues before its release.

"Since the RE5 controversy, we have become much more aware of how important it is that we are part of the asset creation process early on so that we are able to have a say in the end product," says Capcom senior PR manager Melody Pfeiffer.
"We are also designing a lot of our own assets from this side of the pond, so that we are able to make strategic pieces of content that make sense for our market, [and] we are working really closely with our producers in Japan to construct these materials for the West and they are open more then ever to hearing our thoughts and ideas for assets."

Fortunately for the Resident Evil 5 team, the title was well received despite the controversy; however Capcom assures the public that such public relation flaps will not happen again.

Trial pushed back for woman accused of beating man to death
Updated On: Nov 12 2013 12:57:24 PM EST
A Louisville woman charged with murder was scheduled to go on trial Tuesday, but that trial date is now pushed back.
In arrest records, police say Jennifer Hack and Darrel Bryan arranged a meeting with 26-year-old Mickel Kimbley in a Portland alley.
Police say they beat him unconscious and then Bryan came back and stole his car to sell for scrap.
Kimbley died two days after the attack.
