As I work in the Media industry I thought I would share with you that Uncut Magazine is doing a Smiths special next issue. It's out next week.
It's good; I've read it! Loads of pop people from the last 30 years discussing their favourite Smiths song. Singer from the Feeling nominates The Boy With the Thorn ('Morrissey's most delicious yodelling'!), 3 of the Smiths give their favourites, Marr has written quite a lot of stuff for it. Other contributors include Gallagher, Suggs, Ian Brown, Mani, Buzzcocks, Kook, Bragg, Kaiser Chiefs, etc. Lots of comments, inevitably, about Morrissey including some on where he is now. All in all, a pretty interesting read…

UPDATE 4:56 pm: More comments from Blatche, via the amazing Dan Steinberg (yes, you have to use the word amazing there) at the D.C. Sports Bog. Read the comments yourself, basically Blatche is showing a lot of immaturity. Not a shock. Sad, but not a shock.
4:29 pm: According to Wizards Beat reporter Michael Lee — and his well-sourced twitter account — Blatche will not be suspended and will play tonight.
2:49 pm: What we have here is a failure to communicate.
Andray Blatche said he was more than willing to go back into the game last night for the Washington Wizards, and said so to 106.7 The Fan in DC.
"I never said I didn't wanna go back in the game. I love the game. I love to play. No coaches came to me. I never told anybody [I didn't want to go back in the game]."
Blatche confirmed that he didn't want to listen to what his head coach, Flip Saunders, had to say when he was removed from the game eight minutes in to Tuesday night's loss, Washington's 12th straight.
"I thought it was gonna be about shot selection, and it was too early to be talking about that," he said. "So I just went over to the bench and sat down."
Andre, just a word of advice — I don't care if the coach wants to talk to you about what he is getting his wife for her birthday, if he wants to talk to you, you listen, smile and nod. You don't have to do what he says — just ask Vince Carter — but you have to listen. Blowing off the coach never, never works.
Saunders apparently didn't let it go this morning at a practice, and Blatche likely will not suit up tonight. Saunders has to set the tone and get the players to, "respect my authoritah" on a team that has lost a dozen straight and is heading into the tank. He needs to establish something that will carry over to next season.
But now is the time for everyone to be adults, talk it out and move on. And do all of it quietly. Blatche is finally showing flashes of the player he can be, and while Saunders needed to send a message, he doesn't want one of his best players to mentally end the season a few weeks early. The Wizards will be better down the line with that Blatche than without.
- Jake - Mar 24, 2010 at 3:15 PM
I believe you mean coach Saunders, not Sanders.
- Daniel - Mar 24, 2010 at 5:07 PM
Flip hasn't been a very good coach, and other teams have also had problems with him lying and being disrespectful. So many other players have tuned him out in the past, why should anyone believe him now? Flip is losing his team, and he feels this will show everyone he is the leader. That's all.
- Hoops Maven - Mar 24, 2010 at 5:34 PM
Andray Blatche is an average player putting up good numbers on a terrible team…that's all. Wizards should let him fill up the stat line for the remainder of the season and trade him.

Bahamas cruising in a small boat
We did a similar trip in a Crealock 37 with six foot draft, and there were times when a smaller boat would be nice. If your boat is seaworthy, size truly doesn''t matter. We saw people sailing on Deerfoot''s and Catalina 22''s, and we all watched the same sunsets, caught the same fish, and walked the same beaches. Comfort and storage are issues, but hopefully by now you have been on your boat in bad conditions and are happy with how she behaves. Storage issues are solved by going light and simple. Lot''s of pros and cons, but ultimately, you will be happier going now with what you have than staying ashore and wondering "if." I never met a single person cruising who had any regret other than not doing it sooner.
One caution I would give you is that you shoule give the weather a healthier respect on a smaller boat. Be prepared to wait in Miami as long as it takes to make the crossing. There is a small and conveniant yacht club (the Miami Yacht Club)where you can anchore and wait (and wait, and wait...).
Otherwise, GO! I have downsized to a Dana 24, and would gladly take it around the world if I could convince my wife...

Each week, I report the results of the Big Idea Portfolio, a collection of five tech stocks that I believe will crush the market over a three-year period. I've done it before; my last tussle with Mr. Market ended with me beating the index's average return by 13.35%.
Real money was on the line then as it is now, which means any one of the five stocks you see below could cause me a lot of public embarrassment. This time, Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD ) inflicted the most pain, but you wouldn't know it from the scorecard. Riverbed reported disappointing results after the market closed Thursday night, after I had already calculated returns.
I'll pay the price next week: The stock fell 19% in early Friday trading after issuing lighter-than-expected guidance. Co-founder Steve McCanne is also leaving to pursue "important charitable activities at the intersection of medical research and technology," chief executive and co-founder Jerry Kennelly said in a conference call with analysts.
McCanne's leaving no doubt makes investors nervous. Kennelly, for his part, talked up Riverbed's "deep technical bench" that includes ex-members of senior technical teams at Cisco Systems and EMC, among others. "We will miss Steve, but it's more of a sentimental loss than an operational loss," Kennelly said.
A big claim, to be sure, but it resonates when you look at the numbers:
- Revenue improved 17% to $237.4 million, better than the $234.8 million Wall Street was expecting. Adjusted profits came in even with estimates $0.29 a share.
- OPNET contributed $6 million in GAAP revenue over 13 days operating as a Riverbed subsidiary. Annualized, that amounts to a $168 million business -- roughly consistent with what we've seen OPNET deliver in years past.
- Most important, gross margin held firm while deferred revenue (i.e., upfront cash payments for support contracts) soared 56% before accounting for any contributions from OPNET.
Taken together, these figures suggest to me that Riverbed is still early in its growth cycle. Integrating OPNET will take time, of course -- which explains why Q1 guidance came in light -- but the essential elements for sustained growth are here.
What's the Big Idea this week?
Riverbed wasn't my only underperformer. Rackspace Hosting also fell substantially ahead of Tuesday's earnings report. I'm scheduled to speak with CEO Lanham Napier following the news, so look for an update here next week. For now, the Big Idea Portfolio is still struggling to keep pace with the comparable S&P 500 SPDR, which reclaimed 256 basis points since my last check-in.
Not that Mr. Market has been on fire or anything. All four indexes are down for the week as I write this, led by the Dow's 0.47% decline. The Nasdaq fell nearly as much, off 0.44%, while the small-cap Russell 2000 gave back 0.34% and the S&P 500 fell 0.25%, according to data supplied by The Wall Street Journal. Here's a closer look at where I stood through Thursday's close:

Notable newsmakers
Another earnings week brought a mixture of good and weird news:
- On Tuesday, Oracle (NYSE: ORCL ) announced plans to acquire beleaguered telecom equipment manufacturer Acme Packet (UNKNOWN: APKT.DL ) for $2.1 billion in cash, or $29.25 a share. An odd move for Oracle, whose stated "communications" business is light on equipment and software for telecom carriers. Meanwhile, Acme Packet continues to trade above Oracle's stated purchase price. Investors apparently believe a competing bid is in the works.
- On Thursday, while Riverbed was busy disappointing the Street, LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD ) reported revenue and earnings that blew away analyst targets. Profits came in $0.16 ahead of expectations as revenue soared 81% to $304 million. The company's core Talent Solutions business, which helps connect recruiters and companies with candidates, rose 90% year over year. The stock jumped more than 20% on the news.
- Also on Thursday, Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn sued Apple in hopes of forcing the company to release some of its cash to shareholders via any number of strategies, including issuing preferred shares that pay a 4% dividend.
What caught your eye in the tech world this week? Would you buy any of these stocks? Do you believe Einhorn is right to push Apple to release more of its cash? Please weigh in using the comments box below.

text: Buffalo Harbor Concerts 2013 Don't you just love it when you discover new things that are right in your neighbourhood? Well this one is sort of in our neighbourhood. Just a 30 minute drive across the border (so have your passports handy). Our newest discovery is the Buffalo Outer Harbor Concert Series. This was something that literally just landed in our laps one evening when a friend had extra tickets to the Black Keys on July 8th. It was quite the evening.First of all, the concert's location is amazing. The concert is located off the Fuhrmann Blvd. exit of Route 5/The Skyway in Downtown Buffalo, New York in the great outdoors. This venue can hold up to 12,000 people, so there is lots of space to walk around, grab some food from some fabulous and famous Buffalo Food Trucks, and plenty of places to grab your favourite beverage or two. It is general admission, so you can either brave the crowd and try and get up front or sit back and watch the concert from a distance. There are also VIP tickets available.This summer's line-up included Guns N' Roses, Alice Cooper & Marilyn Manson, The Black Keys (which was fabulous by the way).Here is the line-up for the rest of the summer:On Friday, July 19th – the "one and only" Tragically Hip will be taking the stage, with special guests Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. There are still tickets left for this show. You can show up to the doors after 4pm on Friday, July 19th.On Friday, July 21st – Mac Miller and Odd FutureOn August 2nd - Flogging Molly There is plenty of parking close by and even a shuttle available for parking spots further away. So if you are looking for something a little different, you've got to check out this newly discovered venue.And don't forget, you can stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Niagara Falls hotel. We are just a short drive from the Buffalo Harbor Concert Series. Stay a night, 2 nights or a week. There is plenty to do in Niagara this Summer. PermalinkPosted: July 17, 2013Comments: 0

The Summer Triangle dominates the night sky in the summer months. The triangle is made up of three bright stars from three separate constellations. Vega in Lyra, Altair in Aquila and Deneb in Cygnus. This map shows the Eastern sky as seen on July 6 at 10 p.m. local time from mid-northern latitudes. Credit: |
Well up in the eastern sky during the late-evening hours is the "Summer Triangle," not a constellation, but a very noteworthy star pattern of the summer sky consisting of three bright stars from three constellations.
Brightest of the three is Vega, in the constellation of Lyra, the Lyre. Next in brightness is Altair in Aquila, the Eagle. Finally, there is Deneb in Cygnus, the Swan.
To our eyes, Altair appears to shine only half as bright as Vega and Deneb seems only one-third as bright as Vega. So at first glance, Vega appears to rule this section of the sky. In reality, however, a bit of celestial deception is at work here, for Vega is appears very bright chiefly because of its proximity to us. Vega is 25 light-years away, so when you are looking at it tonight, you are really seeing it as it was back in 1982.
Altair is 17 light-years away, closer than Vega, yet appearing somewhat dimmer. That tells us that in terms of overall luminosity between the two, Vega is indeed the brighter star: it is 48 times brighter than our sun, while Altair is only 12 times brighter.
A true giant
But what about the third star in the triangle, Deneb? Here, there is no comparison between either Altair or even Vega, for Deneb is one of the greatest supergiant stars known. It shines about 80,000 times brighter than our sun, but because of its vast distance from us 1,467 light-years away it appears as just a fairly conspicuous but by no means noteworthy star.
If it were somehow possible to move Deneb to Vega's distance from us, it would then appear to shine 16 times brighter than Venus is now, and capable of casting distinct shadows and be visible even in the daytime. Conversely, if we were to move Vega out to where Deneb is, it would shine only as bright as a ninth-magnitude star; you would need a star atlas to precisely locate it, and it would only be visible in good binoculars or a telescope.
With the bright moon now pretty much out of the evening sky this week, there is no better time than now to observe the beautiful summer Milky Way. With a good pair of binoculars or a telescope you can now observe millions of sparkling little stars that make up this glowing, irregular belt of luminosity. It appears to arch from the north-northeast to the south-southeast, with its brightest and most spectacular region running across the Summer Triangle and beyond toward the south-southeast horizon.
There appears to be a great black rift (sometimes called the "bifurcation") dividing it into two streams, beginning with Cygnus and extending down toward the south. Also in Cygnus is the black void known as the Northern Coal Sack. This Coal Sack and the Rift are not holes in the Milky Way, but rather are vast clouds of dust drifting in interstellar space which, from our Earthly perspective, presents a solid and impenetrable curtain between us and the more distant stars.
Stuff of legends
There have been many stories, myths and legends told about the Milky Way in many different cultures.
This particular weekend, the Milky Way involves a poignant Japanese legend. The star Vega represented Orihime, who produced brilliantly colored fabrics. Across the "Heavenly River" (the Milky Way), Altair represented the cowherd Kengyu. After meeting each other they received divine permission to marry, whereupon both abandoned their occupations. This angered the gods who separated them and sent them back to their original jobs on opposite sides of the heavenly river. The couple however, received permission from the gods to get together for one night each year.
That special night is July 7 but only if the sky is clear!
As a result, the evening of July 7 has evolved into a young-people's holiday in Japan called Tanabata. Prayers are then offered for clear skies so that Orihime and Kengyu, the star-crossed lovers can be reunited. One popular Tanabata custom is to write one's wishes on a piece of paper, and hang that piece of paper on a specially erected bamboo tree, in the hope that the wishes come true.

They looked like]] '''[[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation monsters]]''' [[WhatTheHellPlayer to you?]]"''-->'''--Vincent'''Whereas ''SilentHill2'' featured a story divorced from ''SilentHill1'', '''''Silent Hill 3''''' -- the third game in Konami's ''SilentHill'' franchise -- picks up seventeen years after the events of the first game.During a trip to the mall, seventeen-year-old Heather gets approached by a shady detective named Douglas who wants to talk to her about her past. Heather shuns him as a stalker and slips away...only to end up trapped within a hellish otherworld populated by grotesque monsters.Heather struggles to return home and make sense of what happened, but she finds herself stalked by the mysterious otherworld, which corrodes her surroundings wherever she goes. She receives "help" from two people during her quest: Claudia Wolf, a strange woman who urges Heather to "remember who she really is"; and Vincent, an enigmatic preacher with an agenda of his own.''[=SH1=]'' based its otherworld on hospital trauma. ''[=SH2=]'' based its otherworld on guilt and lust. The otherworld of ''[=SH3=]'' (loosely) preys on typical teenage fears such as unwanted pregnancy, and the story and mood of this game (like the games before it) embrace a theme related to those fears -- in this case, helplessness. The story also uses several forms of symbolism related to rape -- and the fear of rape -- to drive the story. That symbolism makes more sense when players discover [[spoiler:Heather has become the unwilling carrier of ''the fetus of the cult's God'']].The story of ''[=SH3=]'' also forms the basis of the story for ''Film/SilentHillRevelation3D''.''This game has a [[ShoutOut/SilentHill3 Shout-Out]] page.''----!! ''Silent Hill 3'' contains examples of the following tropes:* AdvancingWallOfDoom: The infamous red light at the end of the Borley Haunted Mansion. You are not allowed to pause the game, and if you run too fast into a wall, Heather has to take some time to recover. Oh, and you have to run from it twice!* AdultFear: While most of the game is about teenage fears--like appearance, identity, sexuality, and the fear of pregnancy--even an adult can identify with the terror of being stalked and watched by hostile entities.* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Vincent offers an in-universe example as seen in the quote at the top of the page. [[spoiler:One ending more or less makes this real]].* AndYourRewardIsClothes: By completing the game under certain conditions, you get passwords that you can input in the game to unlock new outfits for Heather.* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler:Heather, by virtue of carrying the cult's unborn god. And Claudia willingly assumes the role once Heather uses the aglaophotis to reject the god and vomit it out]].* ArtisticLicenseBiology: You don't grow babies in your stomach. Therefore it's a bit difficult to [[spoiler:throw them up or incubate them by swallowing them]]. The scene in question had more in common with a [[Franchise/{{Alien}} chestburster]] than an actual baby, [[spoiler:especially since the "baby" is just the physical manifestation of Heather's dark vision of the cult's god]]. Obviously this is RuleOfScary in action, since it doesn't stop the scene from being utterly horrifying.* AwesomeButImpractical: The ordinary Submachine Gun. It does excellent damage, but you can only aim up and down with it after you've started firing, and it burns up a magazine's worth of ammo at about the same rate as it does in real life (that is to say, ''fast'').* BookEnds: Not only does the nightmare at the beginning give you a preview of the last area (at least, the last area before you wind up in "Nowhere"), it happens to also be the same place that Harry ultimately wound up in during the last part of ''Silent Hill 1''. Additionally, ''Silent Hill 2'' concluded at a hotel that was just around the corner from the Lakeside Amusement Park, so all three more or less ended in the same general area.** More specifically, all three ended with the main character getting to the other side of Toluca Lake by either walking around it or by boat, a journey which pretty much cuts them off from the rest of the town, and any help they may have.* BottomlessMagazines: Literally with the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Infinite Submachine Gun]], unlocked by killing the final boss with a melee strike.* BulletproofVest: Heather can obtain one early in the game. It'll allow her to take less damage, but she can't move as fast.* CallBack: The save points in Silent Hill 1 are in the form of notepads Harry finds lying around the town and the narration says that he's leaving notes of his experiences in case anyone ends up in the same situation. Towards the end of the game you find one of these notes.** One transition to the Otherworld is also punctuated by a direct quote from the first game:-->'''Harry:''' It's being invaded by the Otherworld. By a world of someone's nightmarish delusions come to life...* CallingYourAttacks: The [[strike:Heather]] HEZZAH Beam/'''''Sexy''' beeeeeam.''* {{Camp}}: Vincent has a bit of this (e.g. criticizing Claudia's "decorations"), though nothing over-the-top.* ChekhovsGun: Heather's pendant. Doubly so for those who played the first game [[spoiler:and remembered what the red poultice was for]].* CheshireCatGrin: Vincent.* {{Confessional}}: Seen in the alternate Church. [[spoiler: The choice you make inside plays a significant part in determining which ending you get on a second playthrough]].* DeadWeight: Insane Cancers. They're also {{Lightning Bruiser}}s, so you better be careful.* DeadpanSnarker: Heather. She starts out mocking Douglas when most would be intimidated by his "gruff detective act", but when things start going to hell, this aspect of her personality diminishes a bit, since she's (with good reason) scared out of her wits. As time goes on and she starts accepting the madness around her, she starts up again, in particular snarking directly to the face of [[spoiler:[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu God herself]]]].** Douglas has some shades of this as well. One notable instance is when, after realizing the consequences of doing his job (particularly how finding Heather eventually led to [[spoiler:Harry's death]]), he confronts Claudia. She simply states that her goal is to bring Paradise on Earth, a place with no pain, no sorrow, no tears. To which Douglas replies:--> '''Douglas:''' No this, no that, no nothing. A paradise -- for castrated sheep, maybe. Sounds pretty boring.* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: As noted in the introduction, there's a lot of symbolism in the game which is very overtly sexual, ranging from towering enemies with heads resembling male genitalia, to Slurpers, whose attack animation is unsettlingly reminiscent of some form of molestation. There's also lots of symbolism pertaining to the idea of how frightening it would be to have an obsessive stalker, and how Heather has a fear of this, ranging from her distrust of Douglas, to the disturbing, and often violent, "love letters" from Stanley Coleman, and Valtiel, who [[ParanoiaFuel follows Heather throughout the game, always watching]], and occasionally appearing in positions which appear very voyeuristic. See SkirtsAndLadders.* EmptyRoomUntilTheTrap: In one infamous case: empty, ''locked'' room until something from the reflection in the mirror starts to kill you.* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even Vincent objects to Claudia's method of bringing their god into the world after seeing how hellish her Otherworld is.* EvilBrit: Claudia, which is strange, since Silent Hill is in America and her own father has an American accent.* EvilTwin: Heather is attacked by Alessa's Memory on the merry-go-round, [[spoiler:the same place where Harry fought a possessed Cybil in Silent Hill 1]], and Alessa's Memory uses the same weapons that Heather has been using throughout the game. Yes, [[OhCrap this includes]] the [[ImprovisedWeapon steel pipe]] and the [[MoreDakka submachine gun]].** Not so much the "Evil" aspect though as her reasons for trying to kill Heather are [[spoiler: to prevent the God's birth and spare Heather and the world from the endless suffering that will come if the God is birthed]].* FetusTerrible: The god in [[spoiler:Heather]]'s womb. After she spews it up, [[spoiler:Claudia]] [[NauseaFuel grabs it and swallows it herself.]] [[SarcasmMode Yummy]].* FissionMailed: Doubles as a CallBack to the first game; the playable NightmareSequence at the beginning of the game. It ends when [[spoiler:Heather is run over by a runaway roller coaster; or if Heather dies any other way, like from falling off or getting killed by the monsters]]. Of course, that sequence was AllJustADream. [[spoiler:However, the player should take note to do something about it later in the game when Heather reaches the amusement park for real; otherwise, the exact same thing occurs, with a more permanent outcome this time]]. Succeeding {{New Game Plus}}es, however, start right from the cutscene where Heather wakes up.* ForgottenChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler:Claudia. Eventually remembered -- either that, or Heather's just trying to talk her way out of giving in to Claudia's obsession]].* FourIsDeath: Heather has to kill [[spoiler:Dark Alessa]] four times in the same boss fight.* GameOverMan: On various places, Valtiel drags away Heather's body if you die.* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Averted. Evidently, every time Heather dies, it's actually Valtiel who resurrects her.* {{Gorn}}: The clue for the hospital's keypad puzzle on hard mode, describing in ''extremely'' graphic detail [[spoiler:a person mutilating and eating another person's face]]. Which is [[MoonLogicPuzzle supposed]] to be a metaphor for which buttons you press on the keypad. And it's also a love letter! [[NightmareFuel Possibly directed at Heather...]]* GuideDangIt: A big reason to be wary of choosing the Hard Puzzle mode.** The infamous Creator/WilliamShakespeare puzzle on hard mode. Even if you know your Shakespeare, it's still a MoonLogicPuzzle.** The puzzle of "Who Killed Cock Robin?" It requires you to know a specific fact about a species of bird, a fact that most players have never even heard of.** While there are a few hints as to what's really in Heather's pendant, there's not really any way to know when it's supposed to be used without consulting a guide. [[spoiler:It helps if you played the first game, though, and remembered the aglaophotis which could save Cybil and exorcise the God out of Alessa]].** In the hospital level, the security door's combination are near impossible and will result in just guessing.* HarderThanHard: The Extreme difficulty levels, of which there are a total of ''ten''. Your reward for completing the last of the Extreme levels? A password for [[AndYourRewardIsClothes an extra costume.]]* HaveANiceDeath:** Valtiel can be seen dragging Heather's body to parts unknown after deaths in certain places.** [[spoiler:If Heather attacks Claudia or takes too long to investigate her pendant, Heather births the god]].* HonestAxe: The gold and silver pipes, though neither is particularly more useful that the steel pipe you already have.* InfernalParadise: Claudia's driving purpose.* KatanasAreJustBetter: You find a katana in an office building, and it's the most effective standard melee weapon in the game. It's justified because of the improvised nature of Heather's other weapons (the knife and pipe aren't designed for combat, the maul is slow and heavy).* KillItWithFire: The God's main attack. You can also unlock a flamethrower on a subsequent playthrough.* KonamiCode: Has a very, very, silly effect.* LeaningOnTheFourthWall:-->"Is this the end? Time to roll the credits."** And...-->[[OldSaveBonus "Who would even think of doing something so disgusting?"]][[note]][[WhatTheHellPlayer Said while looking directly at the player.]][[/note]]* LivingMemory: The Memory of Alessa boss fight.* MagicFeather[=/=]MockGuffin: Vincent makes a big deal out of Heather getting the Seal of Metatron, thinking it's the key to killing "God." Turns out the seal does nothing, and [[spoiler:Heather had the power to beat "God" all along]].* MagicalGirl: Parodied with Heather, who during a replay game can find a wand and, after invoking a TransformationSequence, shoot FrickinLaserBeams at the enemy. [[spoiler:Kill enough enemies with it and you can unlock the game's UFO ending]].* MeatMoss: ''Toxic'' meat moss. There is a bloody room with a mirror that will start to drain your health once it covers your reflection in blood. What's worse, you can't leave the room until it starts happening!* MirrorBoss: Heather faces off against Memory of Alessa in the amusement park, who is essentially an EvilTwin. Alessa uses your own weapons against you, which is especially painful when she pulls out your [[TooAwesomeToUse submachine gun]].* MoonLogicPuzzle: Nearly all the puzzles in the game on hard riddle mode. Even some of the stock puzzles that are present regardless of difficulty are this. On hard riddle mode, however, the final puzzle in the game is a truly bizarre puzzle featuring a riddle involving deciphering an almost incomprehensible cipher revolving around Roman numerals.[[note]]Knowing that Roman numerals are involved in the first place is the hardest part, because there is NOTHING to indicate as much unless you look closely at the tarot cards; after that all you really need to know is which letters are Roman numerals.[[/note]]** That thrice-damned Shakespeare riddle.* MoreDakka: One of the unlockable weapons is a submachine gun with unlimited ammo. Very useful for taking down the particularly annoying monsters.* MultipleEndings: A staple of the series:** The "Normal" Ending [[spoiler:has Heather and Douglas survive]]. Also, this is the only ending you can get on your first run of the game.** The "Possessed" Ending: [[spoiler:Heather kills Douglas while in a trance]].** The "Revenge" Ending [[spoiler:is the new name for the UFO Ending; Heather is seen talking to Harry (James is also there for some reason), and a bunch of [=UFOs=] blow up Silent Hill. Sadly, the only ending where Harry survives -- which happens only because Heather gets home early]].* MythologyGag: If you have Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 save data on the same memory card, you can get a prompt to check a certain toilet. This results in a short cutscene where [[AsideGlance Heather turns directly to the camera and tells you off]], which is a nod to James and the infamous disgusting toilet scene in Silent Hill 2. She also comments on how there's no mail, not even a letter from a dead wife, in her mailbox if you check it at her apartment, along with a few less jokey things. And there's her comment on the sturdiness of the fence on Brookhaven's roof, referring to how when James found it in the fog world it was rusty and he got shoved through by Pyramid Head.* NakedPeopleAreFunny: [[spoiler: Douglas + Konami Code]].* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Vincent's body mysteriously disappears after Claudia births God]].* NostalgiaLevel: The amusement park, as well as various sections of Nowhere from the first game; the hospital from the second.* NotEvenHuman: Leonard, who appears as a giant aquatic monster. The fact that he's got a totally normal human voice just throws more fuel on the fire caused by Vincent's little "joke", [[MindScrew if it]] ''[[MindScrew was]]'' [[MindScrew a joke.]]* OldSaveBonus: If you have a SilentHill2 save Heather will come across a disgusting puzzle from the second game and flat out refuse to solve it, [[AsideGlance before asking who would.]]* OminousPipeOrgan: The final boss battle features this in the soundtrack. As if the boss battle itself wasn't hard enough on its own, the soundtrack might cause a very annoying case of SensoryOverload.* PeekABooCorpse: In the Borley Mansion:-->"That's Danny."* RailroadTracksOfDoom: The subway train and the roller coaster.* RealPersonCameo: NormanReedus appears on a cover of a [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/silent/images/8/8c/SH3RidusBook.png/revision/latest?cb=20150216065610 book]]. He gets much more involved later on in VideoGame/SilentHills. * RoaringRampageOfRevenge:** Heather pulls herself together and doesn't roar or rampage, but the ''player'' certainly feels this way after [[spoiler:Heather finds Harry's corpse. At the end of the game, though, she does give a few cathartic kicks to the face of the dead God]].** [[spoiler:Harry (and James)]] carry out one on the entire town in the UFO ending.* SadisticChoice:** A woman of the Order confesses to Heather and begs for forgiveness. Remaining silent [[spoiler:makes you feel like you did something wrong]], but forgiving the woman [[spoiler:gives you a tremendous number of [[KarmaMeter Dark Points]] (and is what most people do in order to gain the Bad ending)]]. It's pointedly worded to be uncomfortable, and the true nature of the sadistic choice element isn't really obvious on a first playthrough; you're not choosing whether or not to forgive the confessor and soothe her fear and guilt -- you're choosing whether to [[spoiler:accept the ''responsibility'' of forgiving her or not, which Heather, as Saint Alessa, has the divine right to do]].** Though you don't actively choose anything, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6njw-bp4kA birthday call]] is essentially this along with a heaping helping of MindScrew.* SequelDifficultySpike: Ammo and health pick-ups are far more scarce in this game then they were in the first two.[[note]]Actually, the quantity of pickups varies based on your performance.[[/note]] In addition, the enemies are much tougher and have a wider variety of attack methods. At the very least, Heather can now block certain attacks to minimize damage -- a very helpful thing to remember when facing Insane Cancers.* ShaggyDogStory: You explore the freakiest and longest stage in the game, the hospital, on a quest to get the Seal of Metatron. When you try to use it on Claudia, she laughs at you because the seal is a useless trinket. All the undead nurses you killed were for nothing.** Not to mention that this means the hopes of Vincent and [[spoiler: Leonard]] to usurp control of The Order from Claudia and/or stop the birth of God are baseless and doomed from the start. [[spoiler:Well, until you figure out what's in Heather's necklace...]]* SchmuckBait: That door with the red light above in the subway has the lock broken, and when you check it, it spawns 3 monsters behind you while the train approaches to kill you.** StupidityIsTheOnlyOption: However, it's the only way to advance the plot. And the dogs also count as SchmuckBait as well -- if you spend too much time dealing with the dogs on the tracks, [[HaveANiceDeath enjoy your meeting with the oncoming train.]]** There is absolutely nothing stopping you from walking off the back of the train once it starts moving. Complete with [[HaveANiceDeath cutscene!]] And for added fun, once you move forward to the next car, you can't turn back to the car you just left unless you want to watch said cutscene!* ShoutOut: [[ShoutOut/SilentHill3 Has its own page.]]* ShutUpHannibal: "Shut your ''[[GoshDarnItToHeck stinking]]'' mouth, '''[[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch BITCH!]]'''"* SinisterSubway: It's pitch-black down there! It's also a direct reference to ''Jacob's Ladder.''* SkirtsAndLadders: Played for horror/{{Squick}}. When the hospital is changing to the Otherworld, Heather must climb a ladder, and Valtiel is behind it, endlessly turning a valve. He is also positioned in a way that would allow him to see straight up Heather's skirt. Given the plethora of other disturbing sexual symbolism, this was most likely intentional.* SmugSnake: Vincent, oh so very much. He delights in manipulating Heather and Douglas, making cruel jokes at their expense and rambling on madly for his own amusement. [[spoiler:And it ''still'' manages to be a PlayerPunch when Claudia stabs him in the back, that charming bastard]].* SoundCodedForYourConvenience: The first game where enemies make a different sound than the "hurt" cry when killed.* StalkerWithACrush: Stanley, who turns Heather off to dolls afterward. Then again, you can just ignore his notes and keep Heather's innocence...* StuffedIntoTheFridge[=/=][[spoiler:SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome]]: [[spoiler:Harry. [[TearJerker *sniff*]]]]* SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity: Twisted into something truly sinister. At one point, you get a rather bizarre phone call about receiving a birthday gift. "Would you like to give pain or receive it? You can have whichever you hate the most." Turns out this translates to "you get more bullets if you're low on health, or more health packs if you're low on bullets".** Subverted in that you can easily miss it before fighting the boss that comes shortly after.* TarotMotifs: One puzzle requires the use of five tarot cards -- the Fool, the Hanged Man, the Moon, the High Priestess, and the Eye of Night (created exclusively for this game as card XXII; tarot cards are traditionally numbered only from 0-XXI).* TookALevelInBadass: Let's just say [[spoiler:Cheryl]] is all grown up and is ready to take some names.* TheUnfought: Valtiel never directly interacts with Heather (unless she dies, anyway). He just watches. And turns that valve at the Otherworld hospital. And dangles a nurse atop an inferno in Nowhere, as seen in the page picture.* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: See ShutUpHannibal.* TroubledChild: The K. Gordon letter describes Alessa as behaving like this when she was in elementary school, most likely due to abuse.* WellIntentionedExtremist: Claudia. Of course, just how "well" her intentions are depends on who you ask. She says that [[NoPlaceForMeThere she doesn't expect to be a part of Paradise]], since she spilled too much blood to be worthy of it.\\\\Further supported when you read her diary, lamenting all of the evil and suffering in the world, and her desire to help end it. She readily admits that what she did was horrible, but [[IDidWhatIHadToDo she did it for the greater good.]]* WeirdnessCensor: Douglas seems oblivious to what's going on. When the mall changes, for example, he remains unaffected. One would think being attacked by monsters would shake him up a bit. Did he not encounter any of the creatures, or was he taking a nap? [[spoiler:[[FridgeHorror Maybe Vincent was right....]]]]** Not necessarily. He seems pretty shook up when Heather first runs into him, asking "Claudia did ''all that?!''"*** He may be referring to the piles of corpses with pipe-marks in their faces you've left in your wake.....** A lot of people seem to forget Douglas' line immediately before that: "And that monster...what the hell was that?" - indicating that he sees at least some of the monsters and transformations that Heather does.* WhamLine: You spend the first two games guiltlessly slaughtering hundreds of monsters and suddenly Vincent drops this little gem on you:--->"Monsters? They looked like '''monsters''' to you?"** He claims it's a joke but [[FridgeHorror who knows?]]* YouAreNumberSix: The fate of Stanley. Worse is that he very faintly moans out "Heather..." if you go near him.-->''"He's...underground now... His new name is '''number seven'''."''* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Heather to Claudia]].

A golfers heaven!
Trip Start
Mar 04, 2005
Trip End
Dec 31, 2014
So, with golf in mind, we headed for Mecca. Also known as Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This coastal community has over 150 courses in about a 25 mile radius. Why? I don't know, it is just how it is! We settled in to our campground prepared for a week of golf, for Ken and hanging out, for me! And than Hurricane Sandy decided to make an appearance! Fortunately, she passed off shore by about 300 miles. We got a lot of wind, some rain and a bit of flooding. To say we've been in worse would be an accurate statement. What it did do was put a bit of a crimp in Ken's golfing plans. We extended our stay by 3 days, staying for 10 days instead of a week and he ended up playing 3 rounds, at 3 different courses. He enjoyed all of them, which is a rare thing! The prices were reasonable and he managed to come away with some insider tips on how to save money!
We have tentative plans to return for a longer stay, possibly a month or two, at the end of next year. I was very happy in the campground we eventually settled it. Myrtle Beach Travel Park is right on the water and there are literally miles of walking to be done along the shore. So, Ken can go golfing and I can go walking. All and all a win/win situation. On top of that the community has plenty to keep us busy. And, because of the weather we didn't get out to do much exploring, so that remains for us to do as well!

Wow, just after Apple adds Facebook integration into iOS. I can't think of a way to get thrown OUT of Apple's operating system than something like this, especially since I'm sure Facebook's 'quality control' is nowhere near as strict as Apple's. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple banning the downloading the the Facebook app after this (if it's included in it).

Development of a compensation algorithm for accurate depth localization in diffuse optical tomography
Optics Letters, Vol. 35, Issue 3, pp. 429-431 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (250 KB)
Diffuse optical tomography endures poor depth localization, since its sensitivity decreases severely with increased depth. In this study, we demonstrate a depth compensation algorithm (DCA), which optimally counterbalances the decay nature of light propagation in tissue so as to accurately localize absorbers in deep tissue. The novelty of DCA is to directly modify the sensitivity matrix, rather than the penalty term of regularization. DCA is based on maximum singular values (MSVs) of layered measurement sensitivities; these MSVs are inversely utilized to create a balancing weight matrix for compensating the measurement sensitivity in increased depth. Both computer simulations and laboratory experiments were performed to validate DCA. These results demonstrate that one (or two) 3-cm-deep absorber(s) can be accurately located in both lateral plane and depth within the laboratorial position errors.

Inventure keeps growing: Adds Daniel Lauren and Jonas Dromberg as Venture Partners
The true measure of a VC firm is their return on investments, but you can't help but notice that Helsinki-based early stage VC firm Inventure has been making more and more noise in the past year, both with the quantity of investments and the growth of the organization. Today Inventure announces they've added on two new Venture partners who are working on expanding Inventure's presence outside of their native Finland.
E-commerce veteran Dan Nilsson unveils two new ventures
The Swedish e-commerce scene is about to become stronger than ever as the year starts with two new initiatives launched. On the one hand there is launch of groundbreaking measurement tool for e-commerce sector that will help with in-depth analysis of industry's performance, the E-handel Index. And on the other hand there is creation of new e-commerce park of Sweden a coworking space and logistics center that aims to solve e-commerce companies problems related to logistics, operations or warehouses. What is notable is that the name of Dan Nilsson, founder of Ehandel.se and former entrepreneur behind Roliga Prylar / AlphaGeek, appears in both cases.

Outracks' Fuse raises €2.47 Million for cross-platform apps
You might roll your eyes when you hear that another cross-platform mobile app development platform has raised a couple million, but Norway's Fuse, created by Outracks Technologies, is pulling from their deep knowledge of app development and phone hardware to make it easier for developers to make parallel versions of apps for iOS and Android.
TechHub Riga aims for €40,000 to travel around the world
Latvia's oldest co-working space TechHub Riga has filmed a video to promote startup culture and gather some funds for TechHub Riga fundraising campaign. The story of the piece revolves around tech heroes based in Valley of Spirit conquering new heights of success by traveling around the startup world. You can view the piece here:
Opera throwback Vivaldi launched by ex-CEO
It seems like Opera employees never leave Opera. In my travels to Oslo I've met a fair share of people who've left the company only to work on the technical bits of web rendering, or a mobile browser that provides better feeds, for instance.
Safello expands local payments into Denmark and Norway
Bitcoin platform Safello announces today it's expanding to Norway and Denmark outside of its native Sweden to make buying and selling bitcoins more convenient. To provide this access Safello has focused on the local quirks of each country's payment system, allowing local bank transfers for Danes and Norwegians. Safello says that Norway in particular was lacking good options after its largest exchange, Justcoin, lost their bank accounts and had to shut down operations. Soon after Justcoin was acquired by ANX.
Norway's Unacast a beacon for the future of advertising
Even if you're not bullish on any practical use of Bluetooth beacons, after meeting the founders of Oslo-based Unacast you'd probably want to put money into the company. With the cofounders working together at Norwegian music streaming service, WIMP, Kjartan Slette and Thomas Walle Jensen have taken their experience negotiating digital record deals (not the easiest market) and are now applying it to the beacon industry in a fast sales-first approach that's honestly refreshing to see from a young startup. From day one they've sold the idea while putting together the pieces.
TransferWise picks up $58 million Series C round
London-based TransferWise (with Estonian roots) is looking like it's on a golden rocketship up after adding a $58 million funding round led by Silicon Valley VC firm Andreessen Horowitz. TransferWise has now raised $91 million to date with name brand investors like Sequoia, Peter Thiel, Index Ventures, and Richard Branson.
The top 5 Nordic bitcoin startups
By Marija Odineca

Despite the falling bitcoin price, the interest in crypto continues to rise and Nordic startups are definitely not lagging behind. Here is a list of top 5 Scandinavian bitcoin startups worth checking out.
From Garage48 Hardware & Arts to orbiting the earth and London Fashion Week
Editor's note: This is a guest post by Garage48, an event we really admire taking place February 6th-8th
As the Garage48 Hardware & Arts 2015, biggest hardware and design hackathon in the Baltics, is approaching, we took a look back at the results of the first event.
If on average 1-2% of the teams from a hackathon end up as companies, remarkably altogether 6 teams from Garage48 Hardware & Arts 2014 are still working on their products a year later, yielding an almost 30% success rate. The companies already have a number achievements under their belt and even more ambitious plans. We talked to four of them about their journey so far and next steps.
Forget the US or BRIC countries: Gothenburg's Saltside raises a $40 million Series C
The beautiful thing about Gothenburg-based Saltside Technologies is that they throw away the assumption that if you want to grow into a valuable company, you need to be targeting the U.S., Europe, or at least the BRIC countries. With online classified portals operating in four "third tier" markets, Saltside announces today that they're raised a generous $40 million series C funding round to reinforce their market positions, look into new markets, and continue developing technology for their portals. To date the company has raised $65 million.
Malmö-based Wecloud buys Danish IT security company
IT-security server Wecloud, which sells cloud-based spam and web filtering in a subscription model, has bought Danish competitor Simitu, in an attempt to boost productivity and expand as a business, as reported by Sydsvenskan 8till5.
Norway's EdTech rallies together with 40 million users worldwide
When you think of education in the Nordics you might first think of Finland's PISA test scores, but Norway seems to be the one really capitalizing on EdTech. A good excuse to cover this is that Norway is representing itself with a pavilion at BETT, a London-based learning technology event, and with it they're sharing some numbers on the rise of Norwegian EdTech startups. With it they claim Norwegian educational technology has over 40 million users worldwide - a number that seems to easily top the rest of the region.

TechChill Baltics on Feb 10: pitch slots and booths available
TechChill Baltics 2015 on Feb 10 has opened applications to pitch slots and startup booths. TechChill Baltics is an annual conference organised by TechHub Riga. Much like November Slush in Finland, TechChill welcomes startup folks to the Baltics in chilly February, when there is otherwise nothing much to do here. Last year there were more than 350 people attending, 48% of them startups, 12% - investors, and 13% - digital/media agencies and press. You can check what last year's event was like here.
Three device trends digital entrepreneurs should see
Once you dig into the data you see some surprises, which I suppose is the whole operating principle behind Verto Analytics, a digital measurement service with Finnish roots that shared some data with us. Rather than relying on survey data or supply chain estimations, New York-based Verto claims to collect 3000 data points per customer per day of actual usage - giving them much richer and faster data than surveys like Nielsen or supply chain estimations. Multiply that 3,000 by the fact that some of their datasets cover 500 million devices per month it makes sense they've received backing by Finland's technical-focused VC's, like the ex-MySQL investors Open Ocean Capital as well as Connor Venture Capital.

KnC Miner Heads to the Arctic, Crunching Data for the Blockchain
By Charlie Richards
Edited: Allen
Seeking to reap the benefits of naturally low temperatures and plentiful green energy sources, KnC Miner is opening a hanger sized data processing center in Boden near Luleå, Sweden. Near to Facebook's own Arctic data operation, the crypto processor KnC Miners seeks to help power 'the internet of blockchains' from its new northern base.
4 Reasons why Nordic entrepreneurs should consider running their startup from Southeast Asia
A lot of online companies are completely location independent, especially if they do not have to do time-sensitive customer support, ship physical products or meet clients face to face. This includes most of the app development companies, affiliate websites, blogs, a lot of game developers and so on.
Cut lock-screen notifications out of your life
If you're moderately tech savvy you can easily get around advertising. On the web you can install an ad blocker to your browser, and television is so much cleaner on ad-free Netflix.
Over the christmas holidays, bored, and playing around with my phone's settings I went through and killed lock screen notifications in basically every app except for Whatsapp, and my life is so much better for it. Lock-screen notifications are this generation's new type of ad that disguises itself as as a service, but like any advertisement it's designed to distract you to from whatever it was you were trying to do.

It's worse than that. The show venue in Philadelphia has a balcony section with chairs for people to sit; and lots of people sit for an entire metal show.

I can understand the need for chairs. For example, if you go to a show like Testament there will be some older metal fans there, often with their wives, and they don't want to deal with the young bucks running circles around them.
It is also nice to have a place to sit other than the floor if you get kicked in the head. Happens to me a lot with crowd surfers who for some reason wear combat boots to shows. When I see them coming, I usually grab them by the belt and drag them to the floor. Call me an ass, but immature little brats who flail about like fish out of water deserve it. They need to learn how to crowd surf properly. Edit: my bad for continuing off-topic, so

The publishing history of Aubrey Beardsley's compositions for Oscar Wilde's "Salome"
This study claims that scholars need to examine all twenty-seven English illustrated editions of Wilde's and Beardsley's Salome to understand whether Beardsley's compositions do, or do not, illustrate Wilde's words. For the last one hundred years scholars have addressed the aesthetic function of Beardsley's compositions (whether or not Beardsley's compositions illustrate Wilde's words), and each scholar sees something different: Beardsley's compositions are "irrelevant" to Wilde's words; Beardsley's compositions are "relevant" to Wilde's words; Beardsley's compositions are both "irrelevant" and "relevant." What is at issue here is that this traditional dance of signification (scholars' interpretations of the aesthetic function of Beardsley's compositions) relies upon an interpretive strategy that disavows the history of textual transmissions. To put this another way, what scholars "see" depends upon the particular English illustrated edition(s) they read. Beardsley's compositions are physical objects conditioned by a physical setting--i.e., the components of total book design. Yet, for many, the visible appears invisible. The motivation for this study arises from previously unexamined phenomena--the genesis and textual transmission of Beardsley's compositions for Salome (1894-1994). As historical textual scholarship, this study uses the methodologies central to descriptive bibliography: the English illustrated editions of Wilde's and Beardsley's Salome are treated as socially constructed physical objects. Binding, format, and paper are a few of the signifying systems described. Specifically, this investigation draws upon the model presented by Philip Gaskell in A New Introduction to Bibliography. The necessary tasks include: transcribing the title-page; analyzing the format; examining the appearance of the binding; detailing the kind of paper used; and noting other information, such as titles. As the centenary of Wilde's and Beardsley's Salome commences, this is the opportune time to trace the publishing history of Beardsley's compositions, to update existing descriptive bibliographies, and to turn to an empirical method for a socialized model of literary production.

Loaders are very common in heavy construction. They are known to be efficiant multipurpose low cost and low-maintenance machines . Loaders are mainly used in construction to manipulate and move materials in projects that include digging, road construction and planning a site. Some models are dedicated to specific tasks such as waste management. Some of the best makers are Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu and Volvo.
In the 1920s small tractors could be equipped with a bucket (similar to the one on loaders) to handle small materials. This was considered to be the first "loader". In the 1930s, in Manchester, E.Boydell & Co. developed a small loader (tractor and bucket), "Muir-Hill". It had a power of 28 HP. In 1939, an engineer in Chicago made the first 2 wheel drive loader . The bucket could move 0.25 m3.
In 1953, Caterpillar built the first integrated hydraulic crawler loader, called Traxcavator. It brought a revolutionary piece of equipment: the loader was articulated.After the 2nd World War, They started manufacturing and distributing the first all-hydraulic loader: arm and motor were hydraulic. For security reasons, some brands decided to put the arm and bucket in front of the driver. That was a huge change in heavy construction. There are different types of loaders:- wheel loader: loaders with wheels- crawler loader: loaders with tracks- skid steer loader: mini loader- compact loader: small articulated loader - backhoe loader: it has 2 buckets, it can be rigid or articulated- skip loader: small loader with a scraper at the back and a bucket at the front.Loaders mainly have either a diesel or petrol engine. A new ecologic version has come out: the electric loader. It provides the same engine power as a Diesel powered loader.

Seems like one bamboo stick is softer than second one. Guess which one wobbles.... Okay, new frame it is. But I still can't get that ceiling thing.... why the hell lowering throttle doesn't slow down motors? I can't see that relating to throttle curve. It goes like this: I VERY slowly add throttle, motors spin up. I'm adding throttle evenly. At one point, quad slowly lifts off. I STOP throttle stick. Quad still rises, doesn't matter if I lower throttle. It stops (and goes to flip & fall) only if I pull stick to zero. Confusing as hell

How much stick does it take for lift off? You are using a Turnigy Tx with Radioclone firmware correct? Your Radioclone thread here Check that you used a new model during setup and that it does not have any kind of throttle or other mixing set. It also has a pretty advanced throttle curve adjustments possible, so lots to check and play with there too. If the arm(s) wobbles and vibrates this could affect the PID response to motors and varying the throttle changes the amount of vibrations and so forth causing an increase in throttle as the board does its best to compensate.

first offl i dont recommend slow throttling on takeoff. due to "bad air" and control dynamics its best to goose it and get up quickly where there are fewer hard objects to hit and interfere.
its strange that backing off on throttle has no effect. are you sure of this? is the throttle bar on your lcd moving down but motors dont respond? that might indicate a bad board. almost always an open pin or solder bridge. maybe try the hot air reflow trick. also note that these direct drive quads are a lot more "frisky" than geared ones like v929 or those with accelleromters like the expensive walkera. some people like this because it alloews them to play tricks but it can work against you in the beginning. |
I did use blank model with no mixes. I'm quite familiar with mixing and curves on radioclone. I tried very soft throttle curve just now, to see if I can hit that spot where quad flings out of controll, no luck. With default, linear throttle, it took about 1/3rd of stick to get it up. Quite a lot, IMO.
I know slow start is bad, like with any heli or n-copter. Im looking for breaking point, where/why it stops responding to throttle. I'm really sure that it behaves just like that - only zero throttle stops motors, no slowdown. Exactly, throttle bar moves according to stick, but quad is just freaking out. But why this changes as voltage drops? I can fly it normally then, throttle responds OK Either that tiny voltage regulator overheats if it has to drop from full 4.2V (to I guess 3.3V), MCU voltage drops and it locks up. Or board is toast. I cannot tell if it is only throttle channel that is weird, or it is absolutely out of control. Because after it flings, I immediately pull throttle back, not to smash the thing into something |

Hi R,
Since you are experienced in Tx and multicopter setup, it is beginning to sound like your flight controller is not working properly. I think at this point the only sure way to find out is to have another of the same fcb to compare and either prove or eliminate it as the problem. As Dave mentioned, a board solder reflow is worth considering too. Cheers, Jim Quadrocopter and Tricopter Info Mega Link Index Quote:
I'll try new, stiffer frame to fix vibrations. Then heatgun reflow. Then trashbin. I checked fc board visually, it looks ok, no solder bridges or visible faults.
Buying each part twice gets quite expensive and pproaching chinese festival means no goodies until maybe easter . Okay guys, thanks for help and ideas. I'll chime in if I fix the damn thing. |

too bad youre not local. id walk over and fish it out of the backyard bin. so far i been lucky to revive all the duds people have tossed. one way or another. make sure you slobber on lots of flux and its smokin' real good before shutting off the heat.
do they hit you with 2x vat or whatever tax/fees over there if you buy two at the same time? you know what they say "buy cheap...buy twice". i agree with this. i get at least 2 at the same time and shelve the spare for backup. hardly ever need it though because ive had good luck w/cheapo chinese "junk". lol! |
I've built new solid frame, it still wobbles. Again, with fresh battery quad gets that ceiling syndrome for about a dozen of starts. Then normal liftoff and I can fly for about 3 ~ 5 mins. Wobbly, but flies. I observed that it's response to throttle decrease depends on battery voltage. It was in such state, that I was really wrestling with throttle stick up/down, trying to hover. As battery discharged, throttle response was more predictable. Tomorrow I'll try to swap motors, if problem moves or persists. Not giving up |
So, it is oscillation, as one of you said earlier!
If I disturb oscillations by working sticks immediately after liftoff, ceiling run won't happen. Then I tried to hover, it started wobbling, rising up and pretty much ignoring my throttling down. Now to get rid of wobbling and it *should* fly okay. |

Solved! Seems like motor angle is critical (prop discs exactly perpendicular with ground). I swapped two motors, moved props around, changed one rattly prop for balanced one, fixed some really small motor angle deviations, and it works! . Oscillations and ceiling run are gone. Sweeeeeeeet. Now to make a new, light frame, and some tool to align motors precisely.
I love how fast and agile this thing is. I flew friend's hubsan twice or so, and it was way too lazy. Too much inertia, no punch from battery... like driving a loaded truck. It is quite heavy for its size and such small battery, and maybe he had tx set up with training wheels or something |
Definitely not something I would have considered to be a problem because with as many times I have broken and re-glued arms on my quads the motors are not straight at all yet it flies fine. In fact I have flown with multiple broken arms hanging loose and crooked and it still worked fine. I'll have to add this to my things to watch out for. |

See --TIP 7 in the Project Quads/Hexas/Octos section of the Quadrocopter and Tricopter Info Mega Link Index for more info on multicopter dynamic mechanical neutral stability Cheers, Jim Quadrocopter and Tricopter Info Mega Link Index Quote:

In this classification system the education and training required reflects the manner in which most workers become proficient in that occupation and the preferences of most employers. The Annual Projected openings include estimates for new and replacement jobs.
