This issue got me...SO excited for the upcoming Trinity War event. My favorite part was the sentencing of Pandora, Phantom Stranger, and the Question and needless to say I'm curious about the role these characters will play in the event. In this issue, we delve deeper into Pandora's history and establish exactly who she is, what she's been through, and part of her plans. The goal of these plans, however, is still up in the air. Johns builds up a lot of suspense in this issue, while at the same t...

I guess it is a bit of neat new version of the character. And The Phantom Stranger is Judas..... REALLY? Really Geoff Johns? I never knew The Phantom Stranger's origins, in fact I'm pretty sure they've always been pretty vague in nature, and that's always been part of his charm.

I have not been a Packers fan but consider the following. Every Red Blooded American should jump in line to support the Green Bay Packers! The Packers defeated the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon thus earning them the opportunity to go to the Super Bowl. By doing so, they saved the Hard-Working,Red Blooded, Taxpaying Americans literally several million dollars of tax money. How, you say? Simple... we were told that if the Chicago Bears had won that President Obama (and probably his family) would be attending the Super Bowl to cheer on his hometown team. Since the Bears lost...the President won't be attending. The money saved from not using Air Force 1, the limosines, all the additional security, and let's not forget Michelle Obama's entourage, is literally several million dollars! Therefore every American should cheer on the Green Bay Packers at the Super Bowl to show them our gratitude. Oh...and let's not forget to thank Chicago Bear's Quarterback Jay Cutler for his role in the Packer's success! With that said...I am sure everyone can understand why they should cheer for America's team...the Green Bay Packers!

Jane was selected to fight the Battersea seat, which includes parts of Balham and Wandsworth, in September 2006. Originally from Yorkshire, Jane moved to London in 1986 after she graduated from Oxford University, where she'd first got involved in politics. She has worked for the John Lewis Partnership for 23 years, starting as a graduate trainee on the shop floor and currently managing the John Lewis customer magazine, Edition.
Jane and her partner John live near Clapham Junction in the constituency and support various local groups, including the Friends of Battersea Park and the Battersea Summer Scheme. Jane has always got involved in her community; when she lived in north London she founded and ran a successful music festival and she is currently a governor at Honeywell Infant and Junior Schools in Battersea.
Away from politics Jane enjoys country walking with friends and has walked the Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast long distance paths. She is a member of a chamber choir and is also a season ticket holder at Tottenham Hotspur FC.
Having spent her working life with John Lewis, Jane believes her business experience and the values she has learnt in that time will stand her in good stead in politics. Over her career she has led teams of professional staff and managed significant budgets and for some years Jane represented the John Lewis Partnership on the Industry and Parliament Trust. In 2004 she spent a six month professional secondment with the music charity Sing for Pleasure of which she is now a Trustee.
An experienced candidate, Jane first stood for a Parliamentary election when she fought a by-election in Barnsley in December 1996. Before moving south of the river, she twice served as a local councillor in the London Borough of Barnet, chaired her residents' group and was a board member of a Housing Association for over 10 years.
Jane was appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Department of Health in October 2013.
As the Conservative candidate, over the last 3 years Jane has campaigned vigorously against local Post Office closures, the further expansion of Heathrow and the closure and under utilisation of the Bolingbroke hospital site. She has run mass participation campaigns to enable more people to take part in public consultations and always made a formal submission to these consultations presenting the evidence she has gathered. This is despite sharing the public's growing scepticism that many of the Government's consultations are often a sham, wasting the public's time and money in the process.
Ahead of the spring 2008 budget Jane presented a dossier to the Chancellor of the Exchequer with evidence of the harmful effect on many of her local small businesses of a hike in their business rates. The hikes have continued, with often disastrous effects; if elected, Jane will continue to campaign for a fairer deal on business rates for small businesses in her area.
Battersea's many young professionals, often working long hours in demanding jobs, need local services that respond to their needs. Jane launched a transport newsletter Commuter News to keep people informed about issues that affect them and to lobby for the better local train services and stations promised by Network Rail and the train operators. Through surveys she has pinpointed the times and places younger residents most want to see the police out and about and Jane has consistently pushed her local Primary Care Trust to make healthcare in the area more flexible and responsive; people shouldn't have to miss a day at work to get to the doctor. She is currently asking the public for their views on the opening times of a new local health centre.
Since autumn 2009 Jane has been actively supporting the Neighbourhood School Campaign which is interested in setting up a state secondary school in the South Battersea area. As a believer in practical politics, not just knocking the other side, Jane has also run non-party political campaigns on issues like ID Fraud, a growing problem in the Battersea area.
The planned redevelopment of the iconic Battersea Power Station and the New Covent Garden Market, plus the new American Embassy, is all part of the regeneration of the Nine Elms area of Battersea. Jane has actively supported these projects as a candidate and will do all she can if re-elected as Battersea's MP to encourage new homes and jobs in Nine Elms.

From other threads:
you have to think at it like a balance. The plane is hanging at lift center (about 30% of the wing, depends on wing profile). If you want a stable plane, GC has to be in front of it (not so much). A pusher engine act on the balance so if it is tilted down it does not push the plane upwards, it makes the plane turning around the "balance" point (center of lift), diving then instead. For this reason engine has to be tilted upwards. And: Draw a sketch of a pusher, side view. Add the direction the air is blown by the prop (back and up or down) If, ..., you angle the prop up, you blow the air up, and push the tail down = upthrust! Angle the prop down, thrust goes down, tail goes up = downthrust! But these don't take into account the up or down air pressure on the horizontal stab, so angle "prop up" causes up pressure on the underneath of the horizontal stab causing nose down? (And it does depend obviously if your motor is above or below the thrust line.) Confusing, but I will try to test both ways and check the results. |
Nov 10, 2012, 11:44 AM | |
Another option (not an easy change), would be to mount the horizontal stabilizer/elevator on the top of the vertical stabilizers. This would largely move it out of the prop wash and reduce the throttle-to-pitch coupling you're getting. This is a fairly common pusher/boom configuration.
Nov 10, 2012, 12:15 PM | |
The pitch-up under power is because the CG is too far forward, with the resulting requirement for too much incidence in the wing for trim. You have to work from the zero lift line of the airfoil for setting the incidence, not the chord line. The zero lift line of a Clark Y is about 3.5 degrees from the chord line already. If you add 3 degrees on difference between the Clark Y chord line and your stab setting, you actually have about 7.5 degrees of incidence difference. This is way too much, and will make the airplane change pitch trim with throttle quite severely.
The tuck under in a 45 degree dive is not from the CG setting.You will have quite a lrge static margin with the CG at 28 to 30%. I suspect you have an aero-elastic problem - something is flexing at higher speeds, like in the dive test. The booms are very small, and that is the first area I would suspect. If they deflect under load, you will have strange pitch effects at speed. I don't know what your wing construction is, but with a cambered airfoil the wing can have increasing washout at speed which will also make it tuck in a dive. Calculate your neutral point, and find the CG location for a small positive static margin, like 10%. Adjust your elevator setting or incidence for trim with this CG. This will minimize the pitch changes with power. Even smaller static margins should be perfectly flyable (5%), and will pitch less with speed differences. A symmetrical airfoil will also remove the wing pitching moment from the equation, requiring less incidence difference between the wing zero lift line and the tail zero lift line, at the expense of a slightly higher stall speed. Simple CG calculator: http://adamone.rchomepage.com/cg_calc.htm More precise CG calculator: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1106300 Reinforce the booms so they do not deflect under load. Make sure the wing does not twist under load. That will fix your tuck under issue, which is not CG related. Kevin |
Nov 10, 2012, 12:21 PM | ||
I think sorting out the "tuck under" is my priority as that bothers me the most. As I understand decalage, in the dive test as the plane accelerates, the faster airflow over the -3° horizontal stab (relative to the wing) pushes the stab down causing a pitch up, mine however dives as it accelerates which can cured by moving the CG forward but it pretty far forward anyway. I'll try changing the thrust line in the morning when I fly again. |
Nov 10, 2012, 12:37 PM | ||
My booms are carbon tow/cyano reinforced but there still is some flex in one area so will rectify that too. |
Nov 10, 2012, 01:09 PM | ||
That isn't exactly right. Incidence angles are only to set the trim speed, and have nothing to do with stability. You usually set the wing incidence so the fuse drag is minimum when the wing is at cruise angle of attack. The CG position is set for the desired stability level - elevator power, landing flare, pilot preference, etc. The stab incidence is then set to trim the airplane at the desired trim speed, with the wing airfoil Cm and CG position. The airplane will be pitch stable as long as it has a positive static margin, no matter what the stab incidence. The trim speed might not be the desired one though, unless the stab incidence is correct. Low Reynolds number effects (poor low Re airfoils, etc.) can muddy the waters a bit at model scales, but that shouldn't be an issue with the Clark Y. Your booms are very small diameter, and they will flex even with carbon fibre. It only takes a few degrees to start doing strange things at speed. Kevin |
Nov 10, 2012, 06:26 PM | |
A couple more thoughts:
The spreadsheet CG calculator I linked to will give more reliable results. It takes into account the tail position in the wing wake, rather than using a fixed tail effectiveness like the simple on-line calculator. It can also take the fuselage into account. It is a great help designing and building as well, since you can locate all the components, and will calculate where the CG is, and where it should be. A little thought experiment will demonstrate that stability is not a function on "decalage". If you have an airplane with a full-flying stabilizer, giving a pitch command to move the stabilizer incidence is effectively changing the "decalage". The trim angle of attack of the airplane changes, but the airplane does not become unstable, even with negative "decalage". The same effect occurs with a fixed stab and elevator. The load on the stab is typically quite small, and stays pretty constant with aircraft AoA. What changes when you give an elevator control is the zero lift line of the stab's angle with respect to the wing. You are effectively changing the aircraft "decalage" when you give an elevator command.The aircraft just changes trim AoA, and the aircraft stability, set by the CG distance ahead of the neutral point, remains unchanged. There are some small effects from wing height above the CG and dihedral moves the wing MAC higher too, so those have to be taken into account for a more detailed stability analysis. Kevin |
Nov 12, 2012, 03:11 AM | |
Thank you for the suggestions.
Put a camera on the horizontal stab over the weekend, no noticable deflection. Upthrust on the motor has seemed to cure most of the ills, as now need much less down trim to maintain gentle climb with power which has eliminated the increasing dive in the dive test. |

Jerry Faye Hall (born July 2, 1956) is an American former model and actress, also known for her long-term relationship with Mick Jagger. The couple have four children.
Hall was born in Gonzales, Texas to Marjorie (née Sheffield) and truck driver John P. Hall.[2] She is of English, Irish, Dutch and some Cherokee Native American descent.[3] She was raised in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite, Texas, where she graduated from North Mesquite High School. She also attended the Kim Dawson Modeling Agency. She has a twin sister, Terry, and 3 older sisters including actress Cyndy Hall.[4] She moved to France with insurance money she received after a car accident.[5]
Hall was staying at a hostel on the French Riviera when she was discovered sunbathing on a Saint Tropez beach by fashion agent Claude Haddad.[6] She moved to Paris where she shared an apartment with singer Grace Jones (who at that time was also a model) and immersed herself in the Parisian nightlife, often performing risqué cabaret acts in clubs and parties with Jones.[6] Soon after, she moved in with fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez and her modelling career began. In 1975 she appeared, in the guise of a mermaid, on the cover of Roxy Music's album Siren. Five months later, lead singer Bryan Ferry gave her an engagement ring.[6] Her relationship with Ferry continued and she also appeared in the video for his 1976 solo hit "Let's Stick Together".
By 1977, Hall had been on forty magazine covers including Italian Vogue and Cosmopolitan. She was earning modelling fees in excess of $1000 per day.[6] Her trademark long blonde hair and height of six feet quickly made her one of the most visible and photographed models in the industry, during that period. That year she met Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger at a dinner party in Manhattan, for whom she would eventually leave Bryan Ferry. Hall and Jagger were seen together constantly around New York, frequenting trendy nightspots such as Studio 54 and 21 Club. The Rolling Stones song "Miss You" was written by Jagger for Hall[7] Hall eventually left Bryan Ferry for Jagger; many years later, Hall was also the subject of the Bryan Ferry song "Kiss and Tell" following the publishing of her 1985 autobiographical exposé Tall Tales that included details of their relationship. Bianca Jagger, began divorce proceedings as a result of her husband's involvement with Hall.[8]
With the large fees Hall commanded daily as a top model, she was able to buy herself an 8.1 km2 ranch in Lone Oak, Texas. On March 2, 1984 in New York City, she gave birth to the first of her 4 children, daughter Elizabeth Scarlett Jagger. She continued her high-profile modelling career and later moved into acting and television work. She also modeled for artists Francesco Clemente, Ed Ruscha and Lucian Freud.[9]
Hall started dating Mick Jagger in 1977, after first meeting in 1976.[10] They married on November 21, 1990 in an unofficial Balinese ceremony consisting largely of Hindu ritual; [11] the common-law marriage ended in 1999. They have 4 children together: Elizabeth Scarlett (born 1984), James Leroy (born 1985), Georgia May (born 1992), and Gabriel Luke (born 1997). The couple lived together at Downe House, Richmond Hill in Greater London, which Jagger purchased in the early 1990s.
In 1989, Hall appeared in director Tim Burton's Batman, in a supporting role as Alicia Hunt, a gangster's moll who is disfigured by The Joker (played by Jack Nicholson). Her 1990 London West End stage début was playing Cherie in a revival of Bus Stop (a role made famous by Marilyn Monroe in the film adaption) at the Lyric Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue.[12]
In 1990, she joined many other guests for Roger Waters' massive performance of The Wall in Berlin. She also starred in commercials for Bovril. In 1993 she played the role of Miss Scarlett in the British television show Cluedo. In the early 2000s, she appeared as Mrs. Robinson in a Broadway production of The Graduate which included a nude scene on stage. Reviewing a preview of the show at London's Gielgud Theatre, Daily Mail critic Quentin Letts described Hall's acting as "wooden as a toothpick" and the performance as "Two fried eggs in the gloaming". She also guest starred on the 23rd episode of season 4 on the hit sitcom Just Shoot Me!. The episode talks about how Wendie Malick's character, Nina van Horn, became the socialite, model, and fashion editor she is portrayed as on the show. [13]
In 2001, she appeared as herself in the documentary Being Mick. In 2002 she appeared in Brighton in the play Picasso's Women. In 2005, Hall starred in a new reality series on VH1 called Kept, revolving around her search for a "boytoy". The 12 American contestants were asked to transform from boys to refined gentlemen through a series of challenges, and mastering skills like arts, sports, cooking, and fitting into high society. According to an interview with the winner,[14] he never saw Hall again following the show, and there had been no sexual intimacy between Hall and any of the contestants.
Also in 2005, Hall appeared on the West End stage playing Mother Lord in the London revival of Cole Porter's High Society, and also provided the voice for Sister Penelope in the controversial British cartoon Popetown. In 2007 she guest-starred on the British TV show Hotel Babylon. She has also appeared on the popular BBC comedy series French and Saunders. Her autobiography Jerry Hall: My Life in Pictures was published in 2010.[15]
In June 2012, Hall made a one-week appearance with David Soul at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin in a reprise of the Pulitzer Prize nominated play by A.R. Gurney ,"Love Letters".
On September 10, 2012, Hall was announced as a contestant for the tenth series of the British dance show, Strictly Come Dancing. Her professional partner was Anton du Beke. She was the second celebrity to be eliminated from the competition. Jerry Hall is now with D.W. management/London, UK.

Hyperbaric therapy has a wide range to heal but not only decompression sickness.
This range is mostly occupied with neurological disorders, like autism or ASD, The abnormal expression of gene produces abnormal proteins which impair the neuron cells. This results in cognitive disabilities and social skill impairment.
HBOT or Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a way to improve the mental retardation with healing of impaired neuron cells. HBOT with hyperbaric chambers can't heal, but they can improve neural tissues to some extent, providing 100 percent pure oxygen to entire body fluids, tissues and brain cells.
This results in improvement of cognitive disabilities, verbal communications and social skills with all of autistic disorders.

My kids love to do it and the dogs seem to understand and accept it! Riley tucks Millie under a blanket every night, kisses her, cuddles her and then leave the room. Millie stays tucked in for 30 mins for Riley's nightly routine, the second she knows Riley is tucked in she gets out of the covers and lays on the cool hardwood....:-) but she endures until Riley is gone for the evening. I can't believe how patient and nurturing the breed is. They will tolerate almost anything to make their kids happy.
Endured Halloween dressed as Waldo's, sunglasses, birthday party, dog pool party, along with many other things...this was just a few examples of how patient our dogs are :-) Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

By reading this blog you are probably well aware that we rent cars. But did you know that we sell them too? With depreciation hitting hardest as soon as the car leaves the forecourt, buying an ex-rental can get you a nearly new car at great value. Buy the car direct from Avis and you could save over £1,000 versus going to a dealership (plus I've been told to say that they all come with metallic paint which adds value in itself!).
It's also a common misconception that life as a rental car will have taken its toll on the vehicle you maybe looking to buy. It is a misconception. All of our ex-rentals are fully inspected to Avis' high standards, they are no older than six months and will have done less than 13,000 miles. They will also come with what is left of the manufacturer's warranty (which usually leaves about 2 years) for that extra peace of mind.
The list of cars we currently have available for sale includes the Ford Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo; the Honda Civic; the Citroën C4 and C4 Picasso and the Mazda 3 and 5.
Now, we try not to use the blog as a sales tool (and I know this does sound a little like a sales pitch) but I wanted to highlight this as I strongly believe that buying ex-rental car represents tremendous value for anyone looking to purchase a car. But that is my opinion and I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this. Would you consider buying one? If not, then is there any particular reason why you wouldn't? And if you are interested in finding out more about buying an ex-rental then please click here for more information.
***UPDATE*** PLEASE NOTE: Avis currently does not have any ex-rental cars available to sell. This notice will be removed when cars become available again.

My friend gave me a box of Korean red ginseng tea last week. It's a powder that's mixed with hot water, so it's like instant tea.
Not only does it taste very good, but it's also like an energy drink. I drink it in the morning and it has the same affect as coffee, except that I don't get jitters from it. I feel very positive too, I don't know if the ginseng has to do with it. I do add some honey though because the tea is not sweet on its own.

Economic voting under the economic crisis: Evidence from Greece
Nezi, R. (2012) Economic voting under the economic crisis: Evidence from Greece. Electoral studies, 31 (3). 498 - 505. ISSN 0261-3794
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 329kB |
Abstract: | Having joined the Eurozone in 2001, Greece experienced a short period of economic euphoria before confronting a major financial crisis some nine years later. In the period between joining the Eurozone and accepting the joint IMF/EU bailout package, the economic situation facing Greek voters changed dramatically. I use this setting to test the economic voting hypothesis. Using longitudinal aggregate data from 1981 to 2009, I investigate the relationship between macroeconomic indicators and vote share of the incumbent party to test the "grievance asymmetry" hypothesis. Moreover, by using individual-level data from 2004 to 2009, I investigate the extent to which retrospective sociotropic evaluations about the state of the economy are associated with support for the incumbent party. The results suggest that sociotropic economic evaluations are associated with government party support, but in a period when the economy is at its worst the incumbent has no real chance of winning and should expect support only from its long-time loyal supporters. |

UNHCR's New Policy on Alternatives to Camps
As noted recently by Jeff Crisp, UNHCR has recently adopted a new Policy on Alternatives to Camps. Jeff suggested that UNHCR had been "secretive" about the policy.
Hardly. I attach it here.
I view the policy of singular importance, adding another element to UNHCR's move away from "care and maintenance" and toward rights and self-reliance. Recent events show that in some cases camps remain the most effective and efficient means of providing protection and assistance to vulnerable refugees; and hosting states may, despite UNHCR's best efforts, adopt encampment policies. But the policy's mandate that UNHCR "pursue alternatives to camps, whenever possible" has transformative potential by changing the heretofore prevailing "default" assumption of UNHCR operations.
