ConsequencesThis is the consequencefor throwing my heart into the wind.I thought the breeze would carry it [and maybe my heart would finally find a reason to beat as it crossed the world,]but eventually gravity took effect,and my heart plummeted.This is the consequencefor tossing my heart into the sea.I expected it to drift with the tide, [and wash up on a desserted isle, where I'd finally have a peaceful moment to appreciate the rhythm of its beat]but I should have considered it would sink,and my heart drowned.This is the consequencefor dropping my heart into the fire.I had prayed to find warmth in the flames [and maybe, finally, be ignited with a heart-pounding passi
Checks and BalancesYou weigh cold logichand in hand with desire,never letting emotions best you, butpretending you don't care makes you a liar.You wear your facade on your sleevestowing your armored heart inside.You don't like anyone to know it's there,so it never has to leave where you make it hide.You weigh each of your options thoroughlybefore you even consider abandoning pretense.To you, action comes secondyour thoughts first of consequence.Truthfully, I shook up your world,you considered me to be difficult and emotional.But for some reason, as indifferent as you are,you just couldn't resist my pull.Barely days into this newfound thing,we were reminded how we infuriate each other.I can't stand your carefully worded dialectand you hate how I do first and think later.But for the sake of new resolutions,I vow to stop being such a challenge,if only you compromise, and promise tostop checking every check and balance.
Endless DreamElfen fairy tales come alive in my dreams,no one is around then to tell me they aren't real.Don't wake me, this fiction keeps me alive.Let me believe everything that I wish,Entering a story is the only way to escape.Still images are brought to motion when I sleep,severing these false realities is unimaginable.
Lost and FoundLove had found me like the old karmaI've been trying to run from all these years.Smiles had formed just like my reputationand the opinions of my enemies.Fate had snuck up and jumped out frombehind the corner it was hiding behind.Anger crept up like rumors surrounding mecreated by all those jealous children.Fights started at the littlest things,like the paranoia that began to capture us.Tears accumilated like the number of timesanger had suddenly led to a fight.Final words finished all the tears, all the fights, all the anger,
Stars in our EyesSurpassing the horizon with stars in our eyes,our dream finally reached after countless tries.But with all the world at our every fingertip,the weight of the universe made us both trip.Maybe we realized each lie we told in our pastwasn't worth the scrutiny of the roles we were cast.We grew tired of always being in the world's sight,but we gave the perfect performance of joy each night.Faking our smiles and crossing our fingersthat our own desires would not become the triggersof another fight worth only faceless value.But to the crowd, our happiness will always be 'true'.We've realized that we've come as far as we dreamed,but the fame and glory was not all it seemed.
Memories Sailing AwayI vowed I would never forgetbut memories are just a shipsailing away to touch the sun,eventually fading from my sight.I stand at the shorebegging to become one with the wavesso we may travel together.in order to stop rememberingyou must stop thinking.but I can't seem to get that shipout of my empty head;I don't ever want to do either.I see it sinkinga million different times:lost at sea.wrecked in a storm.destroyed by pirates.I see my ship sailing backevery night before I go to sleep.I imagine its tarnished sail in my dreams.except those are only fantasies.I am distractedby the warning sounds of thunder.Is that lightning in the distance?now I don't even rememberwhat I was trying to thinkin the first place.
Sad-Eyed AngelSing your sweet song, angel. Your voice brings me back to the heavens.My memories long since faded (of the life before my birth.)Sing to me your sad melody angel, it helps me remember my virtues.My virtues long since forgotten (along with my rapid descent.)Though the lyrics speak volumes forgotten,I'll beg the lessons to be retaught.Sing to me softly angel, and I'll sing along. Please, just a few lines, (I'm sure to remember the harmony.)Si
Smoke and MirrorsIt's all smoke and mirrorsnever a straight answer.(Why is that so hard?)Don't lead me one waywhen the truth is in the other.You play with my vulnerability(I am only that way with you)in order to gain control.Your hold on me is so tight,just wait until I break freefrom your constraint.(I'm already half way there.)I would rather be miserablethan left alone with my thoughts(Thinking: my biggest mistake)when you create stories so happily.Why do you take such pleasurein fictitious phrases?Give me a straight answer,I'm done with the games.(I am blowing away the smoke,and cracking all your mirrors,one hardwon truth at a time.)
PetalsGo grab a flower and whisper under your breath his name, He loves me, he loves me notIsn't the answer obvious if you're playing this game? He loves me, he loves me notJust pluck another flower from the prickly plant nettles. He loves me, he loves me notBut just know that sooner or later they all run out of petals. He loves me, he loves me notYou need a real answer and this won't help at all.
Mad ManI think I lost usin a glass of scotch -softly drowning,going down likeevery mad manI ever envied.Why did I believeyour lips tastedso good,sweet and heathenlike the heatherI laid you inthat last nightI came home?I had a thingfor damaged women,and you could drinkyour mother's last wordsin everythingwe wasted.
She doesn't care..."Hey""Hey""What's wrong?""What makes you think something is wrong?""I know that look. She has hurt you again. Hasn't she?""No.""Why do you keep letting her do this to you?""She didn't do anything!""Yea, that's why you're all upset right?""I don't know.""You know very well what the end will be of this relationship but you still go on. She is like a poison to you. She is driving you insane. You haven't been the same. Why do you let her do this to you?""I don't know.""God! You're going to ruin your life. ""What am I supposed to do?""I don't know, but being with her isn't helping.""But . I love her." Every letter he said showed how much it hurt him."But she doesn't care, does she?" "No." The words choking him."But I can't leave her." With that he walked away.
She Is Infection, She Is MadnessOh yes she is the madnessThe madness insideAnd she's infecting meThe infection is spreadingYes it's spreadingAnd it is getting strongerOh so much strongerIt's filling me upIt's taking me overAnd the madness is growingThe visions I seeThe colours of redThey flash before my eyesAnd still the infection spreadsYes it spreadsAnd grows strongerSo much strongerAt last I breathe againBut only to feel her pulling me backBack into my mindShe the madnessSlowly taking over meBut I must resistThis infection continues spreadingYes spreadingAnd getting strongerOh so much stronger nowMy resistance is failingIt seems to be futileBut I must not give in to the infection...

DisenchantmentI said your eyeswere ripe for stealing,but my fingerprints lied.They left a strange future behind us -dissonant,a discourse that bruisedlike braillebetween my gums.Don't sleep so loudly.you whisperedwith sightless hands.The boy next doorcan hear youbehind these bars,and disenchantmenthas left its ghostinside our pockets.
The HighwaymanThe highwayman with dread-dark eyes,his stolen coat a wanted prize,will covet treasure, great and small.His wicked heart shall claim it all.He'll roam the woods and hidden glen,the emerald loam, the fetid fen.He'll shun the hunter's warning call.His wicked heart shall claim it all.He'll take the daughters of the houseand steal the husband's loving spouseand leave the corpse beneath a pall.His wicked heart shall claim it all.

I've been doing a lot of data clean up recently and writing quick Ruby tools that parse array's of data hashes to produce SQL statements that can be run on databases. I quite like this version of Ruby's string interpolation so thought I'd share it here in case you've not come across it

Today I had to set up a secure dropbox for some of our customers to deliver files to us via FTP over SSH. This if far more secure that any normal FTP as it takes place over an SSH tunnel. However we didn't want to just dish out SSH user accounts to anyone, so here's how I locked down the server so users could only upload/download files to their home directory
I recently had to write a little Ruby tool to correct some data on an application I've been working on. While I was able to build the tool locally easily enough, the live data resided on a server without Ruby, so I had to connect to the database via an SSH tunnel. Heres how to do it.

Northview wins state hockey championship
Wildcats beat Lakewood St. Edward 5-2
THE BLADE/JEREMY WADSWORTH Enlarge | Buy This Photo
COLUMBUS – The Northview hockey team will bring home the school's first team state title in any sport as the Wildcats knocked off perennial powerhouse Lakewood St. Edward 5-2 in the championship game on Sunday afternoon.
Sophomore Cody Estrel scored two goals and both came in the first period when Northview built a 2-0 lead at Nationwide Arena. Junior Drew Crandall and senior Dalton Carter each added goals, while senior Zach Felser had two assists. The Wildcats' Nick LaPlante added an empty net goal with six seconds left.
Goalie Austin Gryca finished off an undefeated senior season with 27 saves. Gryca (16-0-1) was strong and at times spectacular, only yielding one goal.
St. Eds entered the game with a record 11 state titles, while the Wildcats were seeking their first. Northview had finished second four times (2010, 2006, 1990 and 1982).
Sophomore Jacob Koback also had an assist on Estrel's second goal, which was a perfect display of the team's smooth puck movement.
Northview (31-1-3), which finished the regular season ranked No. 2 in the final state poll, wrapped up the season with an 18-game winning streak.
It is the second straight title captured by a team from northwest Ohio and second time in a row that St. Edwards lost in the final. St. Francis de Sales won the first state title in school history with a 2-1 win over the Eagles last year.
The Wildcats' second goal of the contest was a perfect display of the team's skill with smooth puck movement and unselfish play.
St. Eds got two goals from Gabe Lampron. Lampron scored the game winner in the Eagles' 3-2 overtime win over University School in the semifinals on Saturday.
The Eagles finished with a 24-15 edges in shots on goal. But Gryca was perfect in the first and second periods. Gryca made several saves late in the game to protect the three-goal cushion.

Value-added Flow Chart
The value-added flow chart is a mechanism to improve cycle times and productivity by visually separating value-adding from non-value-adding activities. The process is very straightforward, as outlined below:- List all of the steps in a process from beginning to end.
- Create a diagram with a box for every step, in sequence.
- Calculate the time currently required to complete each step of the process, and add that time to the box - See FIGURE 1 below.
- Add the time in each box to yield the Total Cycle Time.
- Identify those steps that do not add value to the process. Non value-added operations include: inspection, test, rework, set-up, inventory buffers, product movement other than customer delivery - any activity that does not improve the form, fit, or function of the product on the first pass through the process.
- Move the boxes representing non-value-added processes to the right of the value-adding steps -see FIGURE 2 below.
- Add the time in each of the non-value-added processes to yield the Non-Value-Added Cycle Time. This is the waste that could be eliminated if only value-added steps were performed.
- Add the time in each of the value-added process to yield the Value-Added Cycle Time.
- Calculate the percentage of the Total Cycle Time that is a function of Non-Value-Added operations. You may wish to construct a pie chart to communicate the analysis - see FIGURE 3 below.
- Identify the target process configuration using benchmarking and best-in-class analysis.
- Diagram the target process and determine the Total Target Cycle Time - see FIGURE 4 below.
- Analyze the Non-Value-Added steps to identify actions to reduce or eliminate these operations.
- Analyze the Value-Added steps to identify improvement opportunities and implement actions to reduce the cycle time.

Star Sock Garters
You get a gold star for keeping your socks up and a silver star for being uniquely stylish or get them both and mix it up any way you like! These are highly adjustable for a comfortable and secure fit over your socks. Handmade by Sock Dreamers.
They start out about 18 inches long and will stretch from there, if you don't need them that long, simply cut the extra off. With a separate button hole for every inch of the elastic, these can be adjusted to any size from a few inches around to about 19 inches, unstretched.
We've found that when stretched, they can go up to 33-34 inches at the loosest setting!
Additional Info: Actual feedback from real customers:
I recently order a pair of star sock garters from the website, and I just wanted to rave about how much I love them! The elastic is wonderfully stretchy and surprisingly comfortable, and they do a magnificent job of keeping my over-the-knee socks in place. Thank you, sewing ninja!
Fiber Content: Stretchy 1 inch wide black elastic and plastic buttons.
Label: Sock Dreams
Star sock garters - are these suitable to keep up knee high sox that always fall down? Ie for use below the knee
Are these buttoned garters? Or snap garters?
I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs and loved them so much that I immediately had to tell you about it. I, of course, love all the socks I order from you, but these are my favorite!! They are not only long enough for my mutant legs, they are also the softest, most lovely thigh highs I have ever worn! I love them so hard.

Blogs Liberty and Power The Role of Pearl Harbor
Jun 27, 2009 3:09 amThe Role of Pearl Harbor
Ironically, Victor defends the actions of Roosevelt and his cronies. The argument: the war against Hitler justified extreme measures to persuade the pacifist/isolationist American people to go to war.
Hitler, according to Victor, needed three years to achieve his plan for exterminating the Jews, so he wanted at all costs to avoid war with the United States.
Unable to provoke a fight with Germany, the United States went after Japan, contriving a situation in which a"surprise" attack would be successful. The attack instantly reversed American public opinion and the nation entered a war against an enemy that was no direct threat to it. Furthermore, according to Victor, the United States had promised to defend the Philippines against Japan but failed to do so. The unkept promise prevented a truce between the Philippines and Japan and led to the loss of more than 1 million lives.
All to fight Hitler.

Why would you trust the conclusions of someone whose supporting material is so easily refuted?
Jane S. Shaw - 6/28/2009
What is my case? It is that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor and chose not to inform the Navy and Army leadership in Hawaii.
There may be debate about other aspects that Victor brings up -- I don't have the expertise to go much beyond his claims, although I hope that others will. There is, apparently, evidence that Hitler didn't want to get into a war with the United States if he could avoid it--but it may not be that strong. The fact that Hitler entered the war after Pearl Harbor doesn't necessarily contradict that claim, however. The landscape -- and seascape -- had completely changed.
Whatever Hitler's motives were, FDR had found himself unable to persuade Congress to declare war. So he allowed Japan a "surprise" attack. That policy worked.
Jonathan Dresner - 6/27/2009
...this is even worse than the first time.
A "truce" between the Philippines and Japan wouldn't have been possible: it was a colony of the US to 1936 and a Commonwealth territory of the US until after WWII. The Philippines could no more have had an independent treaty with Japan than Puerto Rico could carry out its own foreign policy.
Oh, and that last line? Not helping your case.
Jonathan Dresner - 6/27/2009
Good question.
Alternatively, the thesis of the book is wrong and the more conventional view is correct: Hitler declared war on the US precisely because his alliance with Japan gave him a legitimate way to open hostilities against US ships which had been supporting the UK and prolonging his conquest of Europe. Like Japan, Hitler thought the US would back down when faced with actual violent resistance; like Japan, he was wrong.
Regarding Pearl Harbor itself, none of the evidence Riggs cites in his review actually contradicts the less conspiratorial view that the attack from Japan was expected due to the state of negotiations, that Pearl Harbor was one possible target but less likely than the Phillippines (which is why there was so little caution in that regard), that the only people really surprised by the opening of hostilities were those who weren't paying any attention at all to the state of the world.
Mark Brady - 6/27/2009
"Hitler, according to Victor, needed three years to achieve his plan for exterminating the Jews, so he wanted at all costs to avoid war with the United States."
So why on December 11 did Hitler declare war on the U.S.?

According to our webstore status manager 149 products successfully imported from Seller Cental to Webstore on the 31st Dec 2011. However, when we go to work on the deisgn today only 100 products are showing to be able to assign to categories. Where have the other 49 products gone?
Successful import from Seller Central to Webstore, but not all products showing?
You may want to contact Webstore seller support in order to check what may have caused the listings not to appear in Webstore despite the message that the import from Selling on Amazon was successful.
Without looking at the account it is impossible to answer your question.
Webstore seller support should be able to find if something went wrong and repeat the import if necessary.

Traps can pose threat to hunting dogs
Published 01/06/2012, Brainerd (Minn.) Dispatch
BRAINERD, Minn. (AP) — It was, Gerald Noska said, a perfect day to be grouse hunting. Sunny and in the mid-30s, only a trace of snow covered the ground on Noska's property about 10 miles south of Staples. But there would be no hunt that day.

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell have more than just the holidays to celebrate this time of year. Their twin girls, Dolly and Charlie, are celebrating their third birthday today (Dec. 28)!
Jerry was excited from the very beginning to find out he'd be having baby girls. "I am excited I am having girls. I know guys are supposed to say, 'I want a boy. I want to play baseball,' but I think I'm going to be good raising girls…I can't wait. They're going to be tough chicks. They're only having sex when I'm dead. If they don't date boys at all and just want them to be infatuated with their father, that's what I'm really going for," excited dad Jerry said on learning that he was having twin girls.
And Romijn feels as though motherhood is the best task she ever took on. "Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life," Rebecca said.
The twins were both conceived naturally, without any in vitro fertilization or fertility drugs. Dolly was named after famed singer Dolly Parton, and Charlie's name was chosen after Jerry's brother Charlie.
Happy Birthday, Dolly & Charlie! Take a look at photos of the girls below!

I've always been an avid believer in the old "you get what you pay for" cliche. I was pleasantly surprised by this 18" brake! Make sure you have some "C" clamps before you drive down to the store. If you don't have any I recommend buying a few 3" while you're there. You'll need 2 to hold your work piece, and another 2 to hold the tool if you're not permanently mounting it. You can cut down the mild steel holding bar or use another piece of flat bar to make "fingers" for making boxes and pans.

I bought the brake to bend 16 ga sheet steel for a jeep rebuild project. I have had it for about 6 months and have made a handful of bends with it which are nice, but the weld attaching the handle hardware to the bending plate broke trying to bend a 17" wide 16 ga piece. Narrower pieces are ok, and I'm sure it would work great on thinner stock, but if you plan to push it to the limits of it's advertised capabilities you may be disappointed. Would only recommend for lighter gauge stock.

good buy for the money
By DIYTom
from southern California
I bought it yesterday, used it to bend .063 5052 aluminum. It worked fine although I was only making 45deg bends. I feel it would have been fine for 90 deg bends also but don't know for sure. It will do fine for small home projects if the metal your'e using is within the specs and is resonably malable. You would need a much bigger unit for professional work or thicker stock.

About Me Professional
I bought this and two 4" C clamps 5 years ago and I'am still happy with it .I use it for step flashing around chimneys and on other parts the roof when I need to . also works great for my occasional hobbies.It has also saved me time and money by not going to a sheet metal shop .And it's better than clamping my sheet metal between wood and trying to make a tight crease or bend . Wish I had different lenght's of this flat bar stock for smaller pieces .

Good product
By Shaun
from Undisclosed
Great for the hobbyist or anyone looking to bend light sheet metal. I recommend using the locking c-clamps with the swivel pads when using the brake.

By doug
from Austin TX
All things considered, this is a very nice sheet metal break, and given it's simplicity....it should work just fine. Both surfaces are level to each other, and parallel, as well. Pivot point is right on the mark. Would have been nice if there had been set screws to retain the two handles; most likely, I'll drill, and tap my own....and grind off a small flat on the end of both handle rods, to accommodate a cup point set screw.Would also have been nice if there had been more clearance under the break, to accommodate the "C" clamps that are needed to hold the work. As it is, I raised the angle iron ends 1-1/2" higher off the plywood base that I use, so that it can be clamped down on either a bench, or table top.All in all, a nice addition to my shop.

does the job with some limitations
By John in San Diego
from San DIego
See all my reviews
I bought one of these about 14 years ago, have used it on several dozen projects. Still works. I've bent some pretty thick aluminum, some average steel and even light stainless. It really helps if you have a good selection of C clamps to work with, like I have a couple 2 inch clamps at the ends, 4 inch a few inches in, and even another pair of deep throat clamps at the center- yeah up to 6 clamps to hold down the heavier stock, but it will bend it. If it was junk I'd have broke it. All this with the caveat that the one in the box 14 years ago may or may not be the same you get today, but that should be obvious.
Great tool

OK for the price
By Mike M.
Product is trurdy and easy to mount. Handles are a little light weight and I wish they screwed in instead of just sliding in the holes. The piece that is used to hold the metal to be bent, down, needs a clamp to hold it. I used vice grips on each end, but it would be better if it was connected or came with its own clamps. Does the job for the 16-26 Gauge metal im bending.

It works ok. You are fairly limited if you do smaller widths than 1.5", but I worked around that with shims, etc... Good deal for the price.
Has some limitations
By The builder
from West KY
When attempting to bend a 3/8" lip on a 12" wide piece of 16 ga steel the bending bar would not stay in place no matter how many C-clamps I used. I ended up bolting the bending bar to the base with Grade 8 1/4" bolts. That kept it from moving. After that modification it worked well.

Apple iPhone 5 Shipping in September: Report
Apple iPhone 5 Shipping in September: Report
Nicholas Kolakowski
Posted 2011-04-20
Apple's iPhone 5 will ship in September, according to unnamed sources talking to Reuters. Apple usually launches the new iPhone in the summer.
Apple will ship the iPhone 5 in September, according to anonymous sources speaking to Reuters April 20. That means production on the next-generation smartphone will ramp up sometime in either July or August,
the sources apparently added
, with components supplied by Foxconn (casing), Wintek Corp (touch-screen), and Largan Precision Co Ltd (camera module).
If that information about the camera module proves correct, it would refute earlier rumors that Sony is providing an 8-megapixel camera for inclusion in the next iPhone, which started after Sony CEO Howard Stringer made a leading comment during
an April 1 talk with the
Wall Street Journal'
s Walt Mossberg
at New York City's Carnegie Hall.
"Why should I make Apple the best camera?" Stringer asked, after apparently suggesting that one of Sony's factories built sensors for
Apple's iPhone and iPad
. Online sources immediately picked up on the quote and ran with it, in a burst of scuttlebutt that dovetailed neatly with
TheStreet's April 2010 report
that Apple had traded OmniVision as its camera vendor for Sony. In addition to higher-resolution cameras, current rumors suggest that the iPhone 5 could include Apple's A5 proprietary processor-hardware upgraded to enable 3G FaceTime video conferencing-and NFC (near-field communication) technology, which could allow the smartphone to act as an electronic wallet. Those boosted features would put Apple in a better competitive position against the increasingly high-powered Google Android smartphones flooding the market. While Apple traditionally launches each new iPhone in the summer, speculation abounds that the company intends to push the iPhone 5's release date into later 2011. Sources have also suggested to the blog TechCrunch that the release of iOS 5, the next iteration of Apple's mobile software, could also be delayed until fall.
"The new iOS will be heavily built around the cloud, and we could see several new services launch from Apple that take advantage of this," read TechCrunch's
March 26 report
. "But much of the cloud stuff will be talked about first at WWDC, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, which will take place in June." Reuters' report hints that the iPhone 5 will hit the streets much earlier than some other reports,
including one from Avian Securities
, which suggested production on the iPhone wouldn't even begin until September. Apple is also prepping the white iPhone 4 for release within the next couple weeks, with Apple marketing executive Philip Schiller tweeting in March that the device will be available "this spring." Unnamed sources have told Reuters and Bloomberg that the white iPhone 4 will be sold through AT&T and Verizon, both of which sell the "original" black iPhone 4. Although Apple has never officially announced a reason for the white iPhone 4's delay, there have been rumors of persistent manufacturing issues. In October 2010, a "source with connections at Apple" told the blog Cult of Mac that ambient light leaked into the white iPhone 4's case, affecting its ability to take "accurate pictures." More recently, an April 14 Bloomberg report suggested that the iPhone's white paint "peeled under heat."

Penelope Cruz Makes a White-Hot Pirates Stop With Johnny Depp
Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp continued their press tour for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides with a stop in London today. They've been on the go since premiering Pirates at Disneyland last week and already traveled to Russia for another appearance. Johnny and Penelope will keep the promotions going when they land in Cannes on Saturday and join the star-studded film festival that kicked off on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if Johnny and Penelope will have their significant others by their side for the event, but they'll still be the center of attention even if they show up solo. Johnny's got eyes on him all over the world now since a new wax figure of the star was just unveiled in Germany.

Johnny looks great but not mad about Penelopes dress. It looks like she has it on the wrong way round with the zip at the front!

Johnny is in a class of his own
his inner peace and content feeling of his life shows through
he looks young and healthy and love his new haircut too

Not feeling this dress on her although she's been looking great on the red carpet lately.

That is the best I have seen him look in quite some time. Usually he looks like an unmade bed in need of a good washing.

OK now they both look good. A step up for Johny from the Disney premier. I am not sure I liked her dress though.

Hate her dress. Looks like something you could buy on t.v. for the sporty but sexy mom.

Are cruise ships floating petri dishes?By Marnie Hunter, CNNUpdated 9:48 AM ET, Mon February 3, 2014Cruise ship mishaps 10 photosMore than 200 passengers and crew became ill with possible norovirus on Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas during a cruise that started January 24. Hide Caption 1 of 10Cruise ship mishaps 10 photosDuring a fall 2014 sailing, 158 passengers and 14 crew members became ill with norovirus on Princess Cruises' Crown Princess. The ship's passengers were also sickened during an April 2014 sailing. Hide Caption 2 of 10Cruise ship mishaps 10 photosA federal judge ruled Carnival Cruise Lines liable and responsible for the engine fire that left the ill-fated Triumph cruise adrift in the Gulf of Mexico in February 2013. More than 4,200 passengers endured power outages, overflowing toilets and food shortages.Hide Caption 3 of 10Cruise ship mishaps 10 photosA norovirus outbreak aboard Princess Cruises' Caribbean Princess sickened 181 passengers and 11 crew members during a late January 2014 sailing.Hide Caption 4 of 10Cruise ship mishaps 10 photosNearly 700 crew and passengers fell ill aboard Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas in January 2014. It is the highest number of sick people reported on any cruise ship in two decades, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Hide Caption 5 of 10Cruise ship mishaps 10 photosIn 2013, the Silver Shadow, run by Silversea Cruises, failed a CDC health inspection over concerns about hiding food in crew cabins. Hide Caption 6 of 10Cruise ship mishaps 10 photosOn Memorial Day 2013, a fire aboard Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas cut short a seven-day cruise to Port Canaveral, Florida, and the Bahamas. The ship changed its course and sailed under its own power to Freeport in the Bahamas.Hide Caption 7 of 10Cruise ship mishaps 10 photosThe Carnival Dream, shown here at its North American debut in November 2009, lost power in March 2013, and some of its toilets stopped working temporarily. For a time, no one was allowed to get off the vessel, docked at Philipsburg, St. Maarten, in the eastern Caribbean.Hide Caption 8 of 10Cruise ship mishaps 10 photosDuring a surprise visit in August 2012, CDC inspectors found multiple sanitation violations on the Holland America ship ms Veendam (shown here in March 2012). The CDC found enough violations, including brown liquid dripping on clean dishes and a fly on the buffet, to give the Veendam a failing grade.Hide Caption 9 of 10Cruise ship mishaps 10 photosA fire in the Carnival Splendor engine room in November 2010 crippled the cruise ship, stranding passengers off the coast of Mexico for several days without air conditioning or hot showers.Hide Caption 10 of 10Story highlightsSome travelers hesitant to cruise due to gastrointestinal illness outbreak aboard shipCause of the outbreak has not been pinpointed yet by the CDCIn 2013, about 1,200 passengers were sickened by norovirus on cruise shipsEach year, norovirus affects an estimated 21 million people in the United StatesNo one wants to spend their vacation in the bathroom.Reports of an outbreak of vomiting and diarrhea at sea have some imminent cruisers worried."My mother, who is a first time cruiser, is seriously reconsidering our choice for our family vacation," wrote CNN reader Monica Mancera in an e-mail. The University of Texas at Austin student is booked on a Carnival cruise with her family in March. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating an outbreak this week of gastrointestinal illness on Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas; the cause has not yet been determined. More than 650 passengers and crew have become ill, according to the cruise line. The outbreak is the second so far this year aboard a cruise ship.Just the thought of wasting precious vacation time has worker-bee bystanders riled up: So glad it's not me! Poor suckers! And cruise skeptics have another opportunity to ask: What were they thinking?"I feel bad for sick people, but I don't understand the desire to be on the petri dish in the first place," wrote one CNN reader. Cruising represents one of travel's deeper divides. Love it or hate it, most of the keenest objections are only half true -- or false, depending on how you look at it.Floating petri dishes?Cruise ships are ripe for spreading illness. Outbreaks of norovirus, the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in the United States, occur most frequently in close quarters, according to the CDC. Nursing homes, dormitories and cruise ships are common transmission grounds. In 2013, the CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program logged nine gastroenteritis outbreaks aboard ships, seven of which had a confirmed cause of norovirus. About 1,200 cruise passengers were affected by those norovirus cases. Three of the affected sailings were from U.S. ports, with about 700 passengers sickened, according to Stewart Chiron, CEO of CruiseGuy.com.To put those figures in perspective, the industry's Cruise Lines International Association says more than 10 million passengers embarked on CLIA member cruise ships from a U.S. port in 2012, and norovirus sickens an estimated 21 million people in the United States every year, according to the CDC.More outbreaks of gastroenteritis have been reported aboard cruise ships since 2001, according to CDC statistics. The government agency says the spike is tied to an increase in both passengers and ships sailing the seas as well as an overall increase in norovirus outbreaks."There are attempts to control these types of outbreaks, but it's hard to guarantee that it's not going to happen for any particular cruise," said Dr. Lin Chen, director of the Travel Medicine Center at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts.So yes, the threat of illness is real. Yet the number of reported outbreaks among thousands of annual sailings has ranged in recent years from less than a dozen affected sailings to about three dozen.Bottom line: More people are getting sick on land. (Granted, that's little comfort if you're vomiting violently at sea).Are ships or passengers unsanitary?Norovirus, the most common cruise ship outbreak offender, spreads quickly from person to person but can also be transmitted through contaminated food or water or from contaminated surfaces.The CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program conducts regular unannounced inspections of cruise ships. Explorer of the Seas, the Royal Caribbean ship currently experiencing an outbreak, scored a 98 out of 100 on its last inspection in July 2013."Something like this is not representative of an unclean ship," said Colleen McDaniel, managing editor of CruiseCritic.com. "It doesn't mean this particular vessel was unclean. It just means there was an outbreak on board. They're ending the cruise two days early and doing a really deep cleaning of the ship. It's not likely to happen on the same ship again."Unlikely, but not unheard of: Princess Cruises' Crown Princess had norovirus outbreaks on two consecutive sailings in 2012. In 2010, the CDC issued a four-day no-sail recommendation for a Celebrity Cruises ship after three consecutive outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness.The deep cleaning upon Explorer of the Seas' return to port "will be the third aggressive sanitizing procedure the ship has undertaken since we became aware of the issue," Royal Caribbean said. Cruise lines activate CDC-monitored response plans when outbreaks are detected. Measures include increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfection, isolating ill people, distributing information about proper hand-washing and hygiene as well as illness updates and regular reporting to CDC Vessel Sanitation Program officials.Hygiene is extremely important when outbreaks occur. Proper hand-washing, avoiding contact with ill passengers and direct contact with public surfaces such as restroom door handles can help stem the spread of highly contagious illness. The CDC offers health tips for cruisers on its website.Avid cruiser Marcy Webster and her husband won't be changing their plans for an upcoming sailing on Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas. "It is not the cruise line's fault. It is a passenger who came onboard sick and spread the virus everywhere. On every cruise I have been on, the crew is diligent in keeping things clean and making passengers use hand sanitizer," Webster, of Keller, Texas, wrote in an e-mail. "Bad things happen. If you stop your life for fear of what could be, you never experience anything."CNN recommends10 places we dare you to visitYou don't have to be an adrenaline junkie to take a dare.Nature's most spectacular showsFireworks are fantastic and human endeavor has its place, but sometimes Mother Nature outshines any performance we can produce. 29 beach photos that'll make you droolThey're almost unbelievable.

I fly also the P47. currently it is still in stock colours and it is very demanding on the eyes. in order not to loose orientation you need to pay full attention and kep it close. (One day I may repaint it). It is a heavier plane than the T28, and flies (comparing stock T28 and Stock P47) considerably faster. you can add flaps and retractables. the flaps will allow you to bring it in slower for landings. (I put on retractables but have not bothered with flaps, I'm used to bringing in glow planes which fly faster than foamies) also keep in mind that it's a tail-dragger, with all the good and bad habits they have. I used bright yellow and dayglo orange self-adhesive vynil to enhance visiblility of my T28. (I'll upload some photos later today) Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Brgds, Danny PS, follow this link to the P47 forum, lots of ideas and information there http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...25884&page=712 |

I flew mine bone stock for over a year, after that i put in a larger ESC and a Power 15. Even with that power no adittional mods where needed, even though she was abused badly with some hard landings and high G turns she just holds up fine. Just fly her. |

Coenrad, check the 10x8 props for balance
It sounds as if your 10x8 props are not balanced (it happens sometimes with new props), you can check them and re-balance if required. If you find that the problem was indeed balance you can try them on again. Brgds, Danny |

Latest version (similar to what I posted a couple of days ago, but taken with better light and trying to fly a little smoother) is on my blog page. jc |

I reduced the wave image by using and HD sd card. Now the wave are only at slow speed. But quality overall improve. I mount my camera just infront the colpit
Mar 29, 2012, 01:06 PM | ||
I had seen your picture earlier - Im fascinated by that. It has a couple of key advantages IMHO - first - the higher point of view (getting over the prop - especially now that Im swinging an 10" prop. The servo idea is really cool too! I need one of the new keychain cams... mine is an old (year and a half)? I think its a V3, and the picture quality is not near as good as some of the newer ones. I would love to mount a gopro up there, but alas, I dont have one... I really suspect that the waves are a problem from electrical interference... the Power-10 motor seems to have really helped mine. Too bad I deleted the old BAD video - it would have been an interesting watch to compare to how it looks now. jc |
Mar 29, 2012, 03:56 PM | ||
I usually mount mine mid way out on the bottom of the wing, on a small wooden wedge to point it a little more at the ground. No prop to deal with. |

Fiscal Cliff Talks Continue
Written by Raven ClaboughPresident Obama and House Speaker John Boehner sat down on Sunday, December 9, for the first time in 23 days to discuss the fiscal cliff, but it seems a deal still has not been reached. However, both men seemed to come to agreement on one item, and that is what to say publicly regarding their talk.
Isabel Sawhill, a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, thinks that the debt ceiling is an "anachronism" and ought to be repealed altogether. Many agree with her.
The debate between congressional Republicans and Democrats over how to address the impending fiscal cliff remains heated, but Republicans are beginning to make concessions in an effort to reach a deal. House Speaker John Boehner said on Wednesday that by closing loopholes, taxes will effectively be increased on the so-called "rich," in order to generate more revenue. Even with that concession, however, no deal has been reached between the two parties on the fiscal cliff.
Texas Republican Representative Ron Paul has, based on his decades of experience watching Washington negotiate and dither, predicted a last-minute compromise that will increase government spending and put off hard decisions into the future. On his website Paul noted, "America faces yet another congressionally-manufactured crisis which will likely end in yet another 11th hour compromise, resulting in more government growth."
Responding to a tsunami of organized opposition against a highly controversial United Nations disability treaty known as the "UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities" (CRPD), on December 4, 38 GOP senators voted against a coalition of 61 Democrats and so-called "RINO" Republicans to kill the agreement by denying a two-thirds majority for ratification. The broad alliance of critics that came together to ultimately defeat the UN CRPD scheme had slammed it as everything from a serious threat to national sovereignty and parental rights to an underhanded power grab by global bureaucrats and pro-abortion forces.
