About this location
The Chonburi Province region
Pattaya is located 140 kilometres south-east of Bangkok and is within a few decades grown from a sleepy fishing village to a bustling place. The main beach is just over 4 km long and overlooks the bay where boats depart for nearby islands. It runs parallel to a beautiful promenade and beach road with trees.
The northernmost part of the beach is quiet, towards the central and southern part is getting busier. This by the presence of numerous shops, boutiques, supermarkets, drug stores, beauty salons, restaurants, bars, discos and nightclubs. The central part of Pattaya, Walking Street, turns in the evening to a walking promenade. Pattaya has a very varied and busy night-life with many restaurants, night clubs, discos, bars, cocktail lounges and cabarets, which until evening open their doors.
Jomtien is located about 150 kilometers southeast of Bangkok, on the Gulf of Thailand and is located 4 kilometers south of Pattaya. Because of the relative proximity of Pattaya Jomtien is a popular destination, with a quieter, longer and nicer beach than Pattaya.
Also Jomtien is a great place to stay and explore city's like Pattaya, Bangkok and several islands along the coast.
Places to visit around:
Sanctuary of Truth, Crocodile Farm & Stone Park, Floating Market, Walking Street @ Night, Mini Siam, Night Markets, Pattaya View Point, Wat Phra Yai (Big Buddha Hill), Nong Nooch Garden, Fresh Fish Markets, Silverlake, Khao Chi Chan, The Lakeland Water Cable Ski, The Sriracha Tiger Zoo, Koh Larn island, Art in Paradise Pattaya, The Pattaya Park, Pattaya Elephant Village, The Pattaya Cart Speedway, Paintball Park, Alcazar Show.

Anscombe's Quartet – IPython Notebook
Anyone who's seen one of my talks that even touches on data and visualisation will probably know how it like to use Anscombe's Quartet as a demonstration of why it makes sense to look at data, as well as to illustrate the notion of a macroscope, albeit one applied to a case of N=all where all is small…
Some time ago I posted a small R demo – The Visual Difference – R and Anscombe's Quartet. For the new OU course I'm working on (TM351 – "The Data Course"), our focus is on using IPython Notebooks. And as there's a chunk in the course about dataviz, I feel more or less obliged to bring Anscombe's Quartet in:-)
As we're still finding our way about how to make use of IPython Notebooks as part of an online distance education course, I'm keen to collect feedback on some of the ways we're considering using the notebooks.
The Anscombe's Quartet notebook has quite a simple design – we're essentially just using the cells as computed reveals – but I'm still be keen to hear any comments about how well folk think it might work as a piece of standalone teaching material, particularly in a distance education setting.
The notebook itself is on github (ou-tm351), along with sample data, and a preview of the unexecuted notebook can be viewed on nbviewer: Anscombe's Quartet – IPython Notebook.
Just by the by, the notebook also demonstrates the use of pandas for reshaping the dataset (as well as linking out to a demonstration of how to reshape the data using OpenRefine) and the ŷhat ggplot python library (docs, code) for visualising the dataset.
Please feel free to post comments here or as issues on the github repo.
New Ed Tech Toys for TM351…
I did a thing earlier this week to the internal OU CALRG conference about some of my thinking ongoing at the moment around new edtech toys for "the data course", TM351.
Annotated slides here: Imagining TM351: from virtual machines to notebooks.
Having presented it, the slides need reordering, a bit more emphasis needs to be placed on role human readable text can play in notebooks (h/t Alistair Willis for that observation), and I need to do quite a bit more thinking about the spreadsheet-notebook comparison.
Also to do are more thoughts on the "(non)linearity"/"serialisation" aspects of authoring, reading and executing/working through that I touched on in another talk, from last week: From storymaps to notebooks: do your computing one step at a time.
Tracking Changes in IPython Notebooks?
Managing the tracking suggested changes to the same set of docs, along with comments and observations, from multiple respondents in is one of the challenges any organisation who business is largely concerned with the production of documents has to face.
Passing shared/social living documents by reference rather than value, so that folk don't have to share multiple physical copies of the same document, each annotated separately, is one way. Tools like track changes in word processor docs, wiki page histories, or git diffs, is another.
All documents have an underlying representation – web pages have HTML, word documents have whatever XML horrors lay under the hood, IPython notebooks have JSON.
Change tracking solutions like git show differences to the raw representation, as in this example of a couple of changes made to a (raw) IPython notebook:
Notebooks can also be saved in non-executable form that includes previously generated cell outputs as HTML, but again a git view of the differences would reveal changes at the HTML code level, rather than the rendered HTML level. (Tracked changes also include 'useful' ones, such as changes to cell contents, and (at a WYSWYG level at least) irrelevant 'administrative' value changes such as changes to hash values recored in the notebook source JSON.
Tracking changes in a WYSIWYG display shows the changes at the rendered, WYSIWYG level, as for example this demo of a track changes CKEditor plugin demonstrates [docs]:
However, the change management features are typically implemented through additional additional metadata/markup to the underlying representation:
For the course we're working on at the moment, we're making significant use of IPython notebooks, requiring comments/suggested changes from multiple reviewers over the same set of notebooks.
So I was wondering – what would it take to have an nbviewer style view in something like github that could render WYSIWYG track changes style views over a modified notebook in just cell contents and cell outputs?
This SO thread maybe touches on related issues: Using IPython notebooks under version control.
A similar principle would work the same for HTML too, of course. Hmm, thinks… are there any git previewers for HTML that log edits/diffs at the HTML level but then render those diffs at the WYSIWYG level in a traditional track changes style view?
Hmm… I wonder if a plugin for Atom.io might do this? (Anyone know if atom.io can also run as a service? Eg could I put it onto a VM and then axis it through localhost:ATOMIOPORT?)
PS also on the change management thing in IPython Notebooks, and again something that might make sense in a got context, is the management of 'undo' features in a cell.
IPython notebooks have a powerful cell-by-cell undo feature that works at least during a current session (if you shut down a notebook and then restart it, I assume the cell history is lost?). [Anyone know a good link describing/summarising the history/undo features of IPython Notebooks?]
I'm keen for students to take ownership of notebooks and try things out within them, but I'm also mindful that sometimes they make make repeated changes to a cell, lose the undo history for whatever reason, and then reset the cell to the "original" contents, for some definition of "original" (such as the version that was issued to the learner by the instructor, or the version the learner viewed at their first use of the notebook.)
A clunky solution is for students to duplicatea each notebook before they start to work on it so they have an original copy. But this is a bit clunky. I just want an option to reveal a "reset" button by each cell and then be able to reset it. Or perhaps in line with the other cell operations, reset either a specific highlight cell, reset all, cells, or reset all cells above or below a selected cell.
Losing Experimental Edtech Value from IPython Notebooks Because of New Security Policies?
Just like the way VLEs locked down what those who wanted to try to stuff out could do with educational websites, usually on the grounds of "security", so a chunk of lightweight functionality with possible educational value that I was about to start to exploring inside IPython notebooks has been locked out by the new IPython notebook security policy:
Affected use cases
Some use cases that work in IPython 1.0 will become less convenient in 2.0 as a result of the security changes. We do our best to minimize these annoyance, but security is always at odds with convenience.
Javascript and CSS in Markdown cells
While never officially supported, it had become common practice to put hidden Javascript or CSS styling in Markdown cells, so that they would not be visible on the page. Since Markdown cells are now sanitized (by Google Caja), all Javascript (including click event handlers, etc.) and CSS will be stripped.
Here's what I've been exploring – using a simple button:
to reveal an answer:
It's a 101 interaction style in "e-learning" (do we still call it that?!) and one that I was hoping to explore more given the interactive richness of the IPython notebook environment.
Here's how I implemented it – a tiny bit of Javascript hidden in one of the markdown cells:

and then a quick call from a button onclick event handler to reveal the answer block:
<input type="button" value="Answer" onclick="showHide('ans2')">
I can see several ways of generating common identifiers:

using the **gss** code from the area data, I could generate identifiers of the form `http://http://statistics.data.gov.uk/id/statistical-geography/GSS`

from the housing start data, I could split the *Reference Area* on space characters and then extract the GSS code from the first item in the split list

The *districtname* in the area data looks like it make have "issues" with spacing in area names. If we remove spaces and turn everything to lower case in the area data *districtname* and the *Reference Area* in the housing data, we *may* be able create matching keys. But it could be a risky strategy...

This won't work anymore – and I don't have the time to learn whether custom CSS can do this, and if so, how.
I don't really want to have to go back to the approach I tried before I demoed the button triggered reveal example to myself…
That is, putting answers into a python library and then using code to pull the text answer in…
Note also the use of colour in the cells – this is something else I wanted to try to explore, the use of styling to prompt interactions; in the case of IPython notebooks, I quite like the idea of students taking ownership of the notebooks and adding content to it, whether by adding commentary text to cells we have written in, adding their own comment cells (perhaps using a different style – so a different cell type?), amending code stubs we have written, adding in their own code, perhaps as code complements to comment prompts we have provided, etc etc.
The quick hack, try and see option that immediately came to mind to support these sorts of interaction seems to have been locked out (or maybe not – rather than spending half an hour on a quick hack I'll have to spend have an hour reading docs…). This is exactly the sort of thing that cuts down on our ability to mix ideas and solutions picked up from wherever, and just try them out quickly; and whilst I can see the rationale, it's just another of those things to add to the when the web was more open pile. (I was going to spend half an hour blogging a post to let other members of the course team I'm on know how to add revealed answers to their notebooks, but as I've just spent 18 hours trying to build a VM box that supports python3 and the latest IPythion notebook, I'm a bit fed up at the thought of having to stick with the earlier version py'n'notebook VM I built because it's easier for us to experiment with…)
I have to admit that some of the new notebook features look like they could be interesting from a teaching point of view in certain subject areas – the ability to publish interactive widgets where the controls talk to parameters accessed via the notebook code cells, but that wasn't on my to do list for the next week…
What I was planning to do was explore what we'd need to do to get elements of the notebook behaving like elements in OU course materials, under the assumption that our online materials have designs that go hand in hand with good pedagogy. (This is a post in part about OU stuff, so necessarily it contains the p-word.)
Something else on the to do list was to explore how to tweak the branding of the notebook, for example to add in an OU logo or (for my other day per week), a School of Data logo. (I need to check the code openness status of IPython notebooks… How bad form would it be to remove the IPy logo for example? And where should a corporate log go? In the toolbar, or at the top of the content part of the notebook? If you just contribute content, I guess the latter; if you add notebook functionality, maybe the topbar is okay?)
There are a few examples of styling notebooks out there, but I wonder – will those recipes still work?
Ho hum – this post probably comes across as negative about IPython notebooks, but it shouldn't because they're a wonderful environment (for example, Doodling With IPython Notebooks for Education and Time to Drop Calculators in Favour of Notebook Programming?). I'm just a bit fed up that after a couple of days graft I don't get to have half and hour's fun messing around with look and feel. Instead, I need to hit the docs to find out what's possible and what isn't because the notebooks are no longer an open environment as they were… Bah..:-(
Visualising Pandas DataFrames With IPythonBlocks – Proof of Concept
A few weeks ago I came across IPythonBlocks, a Python library developed to support the teaching of Python programming. The library provides an HTML grid that can be manipulated using simple programming constructs, presenting the outcome of the operations in a visually meaningful way.
As part of a new third level OU course we're putting together on databases and data wrangling, I've been getting to grips with the python pandas library. This library provides a dataframe based framework for data analysis and data-styled programming that bears a significant resemblance to R's notion of dataframes and vectorised computing. pandas also provides a range of dataframe based operations that resemble SQL style operations – joining tables, for example, and performing grouping style summary operations.
One of the things we're quite keen to do as a course team is identify visually appealing ways of illustrating a variety of data manipulating operations; so I wondered whether we might be able to use ipythonblocks as a basis for visualising – and debugging – pandas dataframe operations.
I've posted a demo IPython notebook here: ipythonblocks/pandas proof of concept [nbviewer preview]. In it, I've started to sketch out some simple functions for visualising pandas dataframes using ipythonblocks blocks.
For example, the following minimal function finds the size and shape of a pandas dataframe and uses it to configure a simple block:
def pBlockGrid(df): (y,x)=df.shape return BlockGrid(x,y)
We can also colour individual blocks – the following example uses colour to reveal the different datatypes of columns within a dataframe:
A more elaborate function attempts to visualise the outcome of merging two data frames:
The green colour identifies key columns, the red and blue cells data elements from the left and right joined dataframes respectively, and the black cells NA/NaN cells.
One thing I started wondering about that I have to admit quite excited me (?!;-) was whether it would be possible to extend the pandas dataframe itself with methods for producing ipythonblocks visual representations of the state of a dataframe, or the effect of dataframe based operations such as .concat() and .merge() on source dataframes.
If you have any comments on this approach, suggestions for additional or alternative ways of visualising dataframe transformations, or thoughts about how to extend pandas dataframes with ipythonblocks style visualisations of those datastructures and/or the operations that can be applied to them, please let me know via the comments:-)
PS some thoughts on a possible pandas interface:
- DataFrame().blocks() to show the blocks
- .cat(blocks=True) and .merge(blocks=True) to return (df, blocks)
- DataFrame().blocks(blockProperties={}) and eg .merge(blocks=True, blockProperties={})
- blockProperties: showNA=True|False, color_base=(), color_NA=(), color_left=(), color_right=(), color_gradient=[] (eg for a .cat() on many dataframes), colorView=structure|datatypes|missing (the colorView reveals the datatypes of the columns, the structure origins of cells returned from a .merge() or .cat(), or a view of missing data (reveal NA/NaN etc over a base color), colorTypes={} (to set the colors for different datatypes)
So Is This Guerrillla Research?
A couple of days ago I delivered a workshop with Martin Weller on the topic of "Guerrilla Research".
The session was run under the #elesig banner, and was the result of an invitation to work through the germ of an idea that was a blog post Martin had published in October 2013, The Art Of Guerrilla Research.
In that post, Martin had posted a short list of what he saw as "guerrilla research" characteristics:
- It can be done by one or two researchers and does not require a team
- It relies on existing open data, information and tools
- It is fairly quick to realise
- It is often disseminated via blogs and social media
Looking at these principles now, as in, right now, as a I type (I don't know what I'm going to write…), I don't necessarily see any of these as defining, at least, not without clarification. Let's reflect, and see how my fingers transcribe my inner voice…
In the first case, a source crowd or network may play a role in the activity, so maybe it's the initiation of the activity that only requires one or two people?
Open data, information and tools helps, but I'd gear this more towards pre-existing data, information and tools, rather than necessarily open: if you work inside an organisation, you may be able to appropriate resources that are not open or available outside the organisation, and may even have limited access within the organisation; you may have to "steal" access to them, even; open resources do mean that other people can engage in the same activity using the same resources, though, which provides transparency and reproducibility; open resources also make inside, outside activities possible.
The activity may be quick to realise, sort of: I can quickly set a scraper going to collect data about X, and the analysis of the data may be quick to realise; but I may need the scraper to run for days, or weeks, or months; more qualifying, I think, is that the activity only requires a relatively short number of relatively quick bursts of activity.
Online means of dissemination are natural, because they're "free", immediate, have potentially wide reach; but I think an email to someone who can, or a letter to the local press, or an activity that is it's own publication, such as a submission to a consultation in which the responses are all published, could also count too.
Maybe I should have looked at those principles a little more closely before the workshop…;-) And maybe I should have made reference to them in my presentation. Martin did, in his.

Clive Palmer evokes Anzac landing in fight over federal Budget
- From: The Courier-Mail
- August 13, 2014
CLIVE Palmer has drawn parallels of his fight for a fairer federal Budget to the Anzac landing at Gallipoli.
And the colourful Queensland MP/ mining tycoon says a national business leader who accused him of blocking the Budget should 'give himself an uppercut'.
Mr Palmer made the comments at a media conference near his Sovereign Islands mansion on the Gold Coast.
He was speaking after lunch with Federal Education Minister Christopher Pyne where he enjoyed 'a very nice Tobelerone mousse'.
SPLIT: Palmer wants north Queensland to secede
The portly politician had said he was expecting 'a nice dinner, a good wine, a bit of port and a great dessert' during a separate meeting with Treasurer Joe Hockey to discuss the Budget.
Mr Palmer, whose Palmer United Party holds the balance of power in the Senate, has opposed Budget measures including the controversial GP co-payment and university deregulation.
He bristled when asked about comments by National Australia Bank and Woodside Petroleum chairman Michael Chaney that he was 'disrupting things' and 'causing uncertainty'.
He said Mr Chaney had 'a long history with the Liberal Party' and was a not speaking for him as a business leader.
"I've got much more assets than Mr Chaney's personally got and I employ much more people than Mr Chaney personally employs," he said.
"We were elected democratically ... the constitution was set up to have those checks and balances.
"The fact that we stand as the last sentries at the gate of fairness in this country, should not be an extraordinary thing.
"When the Anzacs went overseas, they didn't go as members of the Labor or Liberal parties — they went over as Australians.
"I'd say to Mr Chaney 'give yourself an uppercut'.
"Get out of the Liberal Party and remember you're an Aussie."
Mr Palmer said it was Mr Pyne's 47th birthday 'and we all sang happy birthday' at the lunch with the minister.
"But there are so many people in Australia that are not happy, that are doing it pretty tough with this unfair Budget," he said.
He confirmed a policy — announced by PUP's now-sole state MP Carl Judge — for North Queensland to secede.
"We believe there needs to be a new state in North Queensland — and probably to take in the Northern Territory as well — a new state of Northern Australia," Mr Palmer said.
"It would have about two million people and be a gateway to Asia and the future."Originally published as Palmer evokes Anzacs in Budget fight

Its time for Bill to stand up of Sydney Posted at 8:04 PM August 13, 2014
Clive Palmer is a joke. He is being given too much airtime because Bill Short Term will not stand up and be a responsible Opposition leader. Labor can stop the 3 ring circus by simply working with the government rather than being blindly negative, by offering alternatives and by showing some leadership. If ALP ever want to govern again they need to stop the cross benches having the balance of power and show some bipartisan leadership.

"I am THRILLED with all of my Shutterfly products! The products are all absolutely outstanding in quality, and their customer support is top notch.
Here's a little background about my "pre-Shutterfly days"... After many years, my husband and I finally had our little miracle baby. So, of course, capturing all of his milestones and our experiences together is so important to us (as it is with all other parents). Shortly after he was born, I read an online article by a blogger who compared the various online photo companies. They rated Shutterfly #1 in terms of quality, and that's when I proceeded to sign up to Shutterfly and find out what products they had to offer. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of photo gift items they had. In my baby's 7 months of life, I have created (and purchased) numerous photo books, baby announcements, stationery, magnets, collage posters, prints, plaques, notebooks and playing cards. I have been delighted with every purchase!
I am so thankful to have the ability to electronically create photo books - which is much less time consuming than manually putting together photo albums. With all the demands of motherhood, I just don't have the time to physically put together photo albums the old-fashioned way. Since I can do it electronically, I can keep up with capturing his most special photos in a professional looking book.
So, thank you Shutterfly! I'll be a lifetime customer! :)"
"I ordered the Filmstrip Notepads as a gift to my husband for our 1st Anniversary. The 1st Anniversary being paper. I am very pleased at how they turned out. Good quality paper and excellent printing of the photo's. I also like the fact that you get to personalize the notepads with a name. I rated this product with 4 stars as you do not get a choice in the color of the photo borders, nor the name. I also would have liked to capitalize the first and last name. I would recommend this product to friends and family."
"I received an offer for a free notepad from a promotion so I figured, what the heck, I'll try it. The one I chose let me put my name and a photo on it. It is truly a work of art. When I got my little orange envelope and opened it, I was truly surprised at how good the quality of the paper stock was. I have ordered other products from Shutterfly and will continue to do so as I have not been disappointed yet. Everything exceeds my expectations."
"This was a gift and turned out really nice!...................."
"Everything looked great! I just wish it included envelopes to match.SHUTTERFLY is the only site I use!"
Our personalized notepads and photo notepads are just the ticket when you need to jot something down or create a grocery list. View our assortment of notepad designs today and see what makes them so unique. Shutterfly personalized notepads come in a variety of colors and designs to fit any mood. If you're searching for more than notepads, we also have plenty of personalized address labels, photo note cards and other excellent photo gifts.

Funny English couple, Murdo Guy and Camilla Banks, posted their terrible 2000 Mercedes E320 CDI to eBay complete with a description that makes the car sound like the worst thing on wheels. It has 160,000 miles, non-functioning A/C and CD player, dents, and rust. So why, with six days left to go, is the frantic bidding up to £155,100.00 ($242,902.11)?!

Customs officials at Bergamo Airport recently stopped an unnamed man trying to mail a giant prehistoric egg worth $125,000 to Los Angeles. When asked why he was trying to send a giant, 12,000 year-old "Elephant Bird" egg to the city of Angels he explained that it was a wedding gift. Customs officials aren't buying it and have apprehended him for trying to export a cultural item without permission, which could lead to jail time and a fine of up to $5,000.

To learn about civics, a 4th grade class from Lincoln Akerman School in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire drafted a bill proposing to make the Red Tailed Hawk the official state raptor. Well, this week, when the bill reached the floor of the state legislature, they ripped it apart like a red tailed hawk eating a chipmunk. Before voting it down, the state politicians openly mocked it, complained about it, and even injected their own gross politics into the argument, all in front of a crushed group of 4th graders.

Federal agencies have been working to reduce burdensome regulations under a presidential order in recent months, and the results are trickling in.
Most of the savings outlined in the recent updates published to date appear to be going to industry or the public, not to government agencies.
President Obama last year ordered agencies to begin reviewing their regulations. The initial plans came out last fall, and agencies began posting updates several weeks ago.
Related story:
HHS updating regulations to fit new tech
In the most recent plans, while the Homeland Security Department found ways to save money for taxpayers, the Health and Human Services Department's proposal mostly aim at saving money for industry. Some agencies have not yet published the updates, while others apparently faced difficulties in assessing savings.
For example, the General Services Administration directly measured savings for only two proposals in its January 2012 update. For several proposals, it said that burden reductions had been estimated and published in other documents.
At DHS, the greatest savings proposed from the retrospective review effort is for Customs and Border Protection to save $8.2 million by shutting down the underutilized White Tail, Montana, border crossing, according to a January 2012 progress report recently published on its website. That would be for the first year, with $396,000 savings each subsequent year.
CBP also expects to save $700,000 a year by publishing its seizure records online rather than by purchasing print media advertising.
Other proposals include changes to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency's Student and Exchange Visitor Information System expected to reduce burdens on those visitors by 11,000 hours and $220,000 a year. The Coast Guard, meanwhile, proposed to remove ID card requirements for 18,000 mariners, and changes to US Citizenship & Immigration Services' H-1b visa application program are expected to reduce burdens to applicants by 13,750 hours a year.
HHS's January 2012 update shows that the retrospective review and subsequent modifications in rules are likely to generate more than $5 billion in savings over five years. The beneficiaries are primarily hospitals and providers.
In one example of the proposed savings, HHS said that by allowing hospitals to decide for themselves how many outpatient directors to hire, the hospitals would generate $300 million a year in savings.
In another proposed change, by allowing hospitals to set their own policies for certain types of nurses and clinicians, while following state laws, HHS said it would save hospitals another $330 million a year.
"HHS has made significant progress in its retrospective review activities," the department said in its update. "Two of the proposed rules we published are expected to result in significant savings to the health industry."

Sounds more like election year politics to me. Last I heard was that this administration has already generated over 40,000 new regulations since coming into power. The savings, if they really go through with this, will be miniscule compared to the obvious added costs they created with all the regulations they already created. With $1 TRILLION in deficeit spending in a year, that $5 Billion (assuming this figure in not exagerated) is a wopping 1/2 of 1 percent of what is needed to balance the budget. Forget about doing anything to pay off that debt. My children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will still be struggling with that with no hope of ever seeing this country coming close to being debt free.

It would be cheating to include the birth of daughter Poppy to the Brent-Berkus family, but that name definitely grabbed my attention! I recently included Poppy in a list of unusual floral names for girls written for Baby Name Wizard. I'll have more on Poppy for my Spring 2015 post.
I was also a little too late to mention Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard's daughter Delta, though you can read the funny story of their name choice here. (Or was I?) Now, on to the awards!
Top Stereotypical Celebrity Name
Names that give celebs a reputation for using wild or odd names.
It's a very musical name that's sure to raise a few eyebrows. Canadian couple Jessica Paré and John Kastner are in acting and music, respectively, though Kastner performs punk, not blues.
WINNER: Blues Anthony
Top Trendy Names
Names that are becoming a hit with celebs and not-so-famous parents alike.
WINNERS: Luna, Jax
Most Classic Name
Classic names that no one pays attention to because they aren't wild enough.
WINNER: Caroline Olivia
Best Intriguing Name
A name that is a little surprising, in a nice way.
I adore the reference to the Sistine Chapel, residence of the Pope bearing Michelangelo's handiwork and most famous fresco, The Creation of Adam. Her middle name, Sabella, is pure gold, a variation of Isabella that has echoes of Steffiana's name and adds irresistible alliteration. (Sylvester Stallone's daughter Sistine takes advantage of the S-factor too.)
WINNER: Sistine Sabella
Newest Trend
An interesting trend showing up in this season's names, whether or not it's a trend on a large scale.
This season happens to highlight contemporary choices for boys. There were only 2 or 3 exceptions to this otherwise full-fledged modern group.
WINNERS: Indigo, Jax, Tatum, Hutton, Sailor, Tennessee ("Hawk"), Knox, Blues, and Bodhi
Most Moving Name
Vin Diesel and Paloma Jiménez chose to honor the memory of actor Paul Walker with the name of their little girl. In an interview with the TODAY Show's Natalie Morales, Diesel said,
"There's no other person that I was thinking about as I was cutting this umbilical cord. I knew he was there and it felt like a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world."WINNER: Pauline
Personal Favorite
My own choice for best names. What's yours?
You saw this coming, didn't you?
WINNER: Sistine Sabella

Mandevilla - cut back to allow dormancy in house?
I did a search of threads on Mandevilla in this forum and didn't see this addressed, so:
I was given a bloom Mandevilla late in the season for Zone 7 Virginia. I now have it in the house and plan to let it go dormant. Should I keep it as is or cut it back? Will it bloom on these existing vines next summer?
I've never heard of "cutting back to allow dormancy". Plants will become dormant if the temperature is low and/or they are suffering from drought. Pruning will not make any difference. Generally the right time to cut back is in the spring, if you have to, though with Dipladenias (Mandevillas) I find they need very little pruning. If I were you I'd leave it alone. The danger with autumn pruning is that you introduce disease when the plant is in a weakened state. Good luck. - Ian.

Already on backorder. and wanted to order .. Someone knows where you can buy or do something like that?
|Jul 03, 2013, 03:22 PM
These back in stock the day after I bought the machine gun sounds for a laugh. Have not got a clue how to connect it all up. Typical from China no explanations or instructions and half of what the write doesn't make sense
There was a thread I was gonna post in but it's been closed

Well I finally got a chance to test run this unit on a slow stick that used for testing powered off a 3s 1800mah... it sounds good on the ground but on RTO at 30-40 ft and and just a few ft off the ground the audio quickly faded out and was only audible on low overhead passes. Yeah the 60db max doesn't help but my theory to the lack of audio in the air is that the speaker is out in the open and not in a fuse to act as a "speaker box".
I opened the module up to see if there was a volume adjustment and there is none, also unless you're some sort of programmer and are able to hack in to the circuit board there is no way to mod the audio. Putting this on the back burner for now as I got a couple other projects to get to, I may come back to this and test on a balsa model (Ultra Stick 25e) and see if the fuse improves the audio.
Hopefully someone comes up with a mod to increase audio output, so please share with the rest.

I have one sitting in a order (something else is back-ordered) - but just saw the MrRcSound unit. Claims 95db but costs 4x the price.
As I won't be receiving mine for a while, really interested in any feedback of how loud this is if the speaker is 'exposed' in the fuselage on a flyby.

Fitted the machine gun module last wk on my PZ t28 as that seemed the easiest to test in, I fitted the speaker in the cowel, sounds pretty poor to be honest but what to expect with cheap stuff, couldn't really hear it on the overhead passes unless I cut the throttle then it was clearly audible, today I tries to make it a little louder and did this..
Just the lights to rig up see what they're like

I had pretty low expectations, but would you mind posting a video anyway? I would like to hear it
I imagine the sound gets washed out by the prop

That link should work, will try get a vid of it on the air nxt time I'm out. Maybe the speaker could be changed for a better one with a deeper tone
|Jul 19, 2013, 05:35 PM
I did not even see the link; thanks!
Your link is to Dr. Mad Machine Gun module? Thats it, thank you!
The sound is pretty bad, but it can cost some serious bucks for one of the other sound modules.
I heard this guy's at SEFF (link below), he really had some great sound on his electric ships and I have been considering one for my giant Cub. My only hesitation is cost: http://www.modelsoundsinc.com

Yeah it sounds very "tinny" it needs more grunt to it, I did come across a link on utube that sounds awesome and on the same plane too, I'm not bothered about this plane I've put it in as I chuck this about and don't care if it crashes lol I deffo would not put it in any of my others.
This one sounds awesome

These type of units need a speaker box or cone encapsulating the speaker.
The output speaker for the motor sound unit should not be placed right behind or under the motor as it will definitely get washed out.
You want to place the speakers at least 6" away from the prop.
Most people put the speakers in the wing or on the belly.
Here is a hellcat with the machine gun unit fitted:
Motor sound unit....this video demonstrates it on only 3s. A 4s will make it louder plus the addition of a speaker box enclosure will help.
For larger planes, you might consider installing two of these in the same plane. Cost wise....its still 1/4 the price of some other units. Granted, the bendini and MrRCsound units are rally good, but for a larger plane....$219 is rather high but does do a better job and has amplifiers. That's one idea though is to put an amp inline between the speaker and the sound unit on this hobbyking module.

Here is video of my PZ Wildcat with HK DR Mad Thrust gun sound and light module.
I changed LED's to 3mm bright white, and placed speaker in the tail section, close behind cockpit. sound is coming out of the vent hole, and whole plane works as a speaker box (resonator)
It actually sounds good, and I can hear it from 100-150 ft, as long as there is no gassers flying.
Speaker placement is the key! It can not be flat against something, since speaker membrane can be hitting, and sound level will decrease.
I also put two of these in 60 size 47. It has one sound module and one speaker per wing. (Picture below). Since picture was taken I cut out rectangle holes, where ammo shells would fall out in full size plane.
Wooden wing is great resonator, and it sounds louder than Wildcat, and little deeper too.
i'll post video at some point.

Orange or yellow LEDs for guns would look great. (or warm white)
