In my opinion its all about the seven European countries who fund Airbus avoiding legal responsibility issues. The poorly designed rudder control issue isn't even addressed in this AD, so the root problem remains.
Airbus aircraft funding being shared by many western European nations is loath to accept responsibility for any design flaws from Airbus as it could have direct financial impact on those nations.
ALL past or future Airbus fatal crashes will always be blamed on pilot error as those nations who all share a portion of Airbus would rather choke then admit responsibility in poor aircraft design.
To bad so many more people have to die before Airbus will admit their aircraft are poorly designed. AirFrance 447 being the perfect example of avoiding the root cause of the crash.
Claiming pilot error as the cause of a fatal crash is always easier because dead pilots are unable to defend themselves.
After having flown the left seat of Airbus aircraft for thousands of hours I was never more pleased to get myself OUT of the Airbus and back into a Boeing.
Those of you who want to now "flame" me have at it, I have a right to my opinion and you have a right to yours. I'll enjoy the entertainment.
Well, old man, if anyone flames you, it looks like they'll have to get all of us. I was blessed with Boeing for my entire 135 career and never had the "pleasure" of typing in a Bus. That said, as this was 11 years ago, afew thoughts come to mind. I thought they had identified that rudder problem and developed a stop and/or the extra training for it as well. But what really concerns me and brings out the curiosity is, that all the hooplah that was raised after AF447 about the flight envelope and the pilot basically being locked out if he tried to exceed it, without making a law change. NOW, all reports on this excess rudder problem have indicated that the forces were well above certification so the aircraft was not blamed. My Question is: IF IT WAS OUTSIDE THE CERTIFICATION PARAMETERS, I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE OUTSIDE THAT FLIGHT ENVELOPE, AND IF SO, HOW WAS IT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN???? You are a Bus man; can you answer???????
How can one fault you in any way as you have been there and done that. I cant think of what it was like to always wonder what might upset the AC and cause an accident due to poor design. The 447 crash highlighted how poor some of the systems and training were at the time. About Boeing, if I fly I would rather not in the 787 after hearing the behind the door talk from some involved in the design of it and how close they came to loosing the one in Texas during testing. Your word about the Airbus AC I will take as stated from someone who knows.
I really don't think thee is anything intentional as far as them making a crappy aircraft but there is a lot of experience difference between 1916 for Boeing and 1967 for Airbus. If the time is any indicator, they still have a lot of learning left to do. Boeing, as you say, "HAS BEEN THERE,DONE THAT"
Yes they have been there, done that, AND still working on it, as the 737 rudder issues are not completely resolved yet. If memory serves, they have until 2016, or something like that.

President Obama announced Tuesday his plan to spend $100 million to "revolutionize our understanding of the human mind."
Dubbed the BRAIN Initiative — short for Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies — the program calls on the National Institutes of Health, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the National Science Foundation to kickstart the research.
Describing the brain mapping project as one of his administration's "Grand Challenges," the president explained the goal behind the grants:
Imagine if no family had to feel helpless watching a loved one disappear behind the mask of Parkinson's or struggle in the grip of epilepsy. Imagine if we could reverse traumatic brain injury or PTSD for our veterans who are coming home. Imagine if someone with a prosthetic limb can now play the piano or throw a baseball as well as anybody else, because the wiring from the brain to that prosthetic is direct and triggered by what's already happening in the patient's mind. What if computers could respond to our thoughts or our language barriers could come tumbling down. Or if millions of Americans were suddenly finding new jobs in these fields — jobs we haven't even dreamt up yet — because we chose to invest in this project.
Freeing the human race from disease is a noble endeavor, but perhaps President Obama should explain how the military's super-secret research and development group (DARPA) is going to help.
DARPA answers that question on its own website. In a statement announcing its participation in BRAIN, DARPA declares: "Better understanding of human brain supports national security."
To help keep the country safe, DARPA will focus on the following aspects of the function of the human brain:
DARPA plans to explore two key areas to elicit further understanding of the brain. New tools are needed to measure and analyze electrical signals and the biomolecular dynamics underpinning brain function. Researchers will also explore, abstract and model the vast spectrum of brain functions by examining its incredible complexity.
DARPA's planned investment includes new programs to address the areas outlined and ongoing efforts designed to advance fundamental understanding of the brain's dynamics to drive applications (Revolutionizing Prosthetics, Restorative Encoding Memory Integration Neural Device, Reorganization and Plasticity to Accelerate Injury Recovery, Enabling Stress Resistance), manufacture sensing systems for neuroscience applications (Reliable Neutral Interface Technology, Blast Gauge), and analyze large data sets (Detection and Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals).

Robert Smithson
Tom Smart for The New York Times
The artist Robert Smithson is best known for the ''Spiral Jetty,'' which has lain in the Great Salt Lake since 1970. Born in Passaic, N.J., in 1938, Smithson died at 35 in an airplane crash in 1973.
Since 1999, as drought has lowered the water level, this famous American earth sculpture — a 1,500-foot coil of black basalt rocks — has slowly re-emerged. Now it is completely exposed; the rocks encrusted with white salt crystals are surrounded by shallow pink water in what looks like a vast snow field.
When Smithson built the ''Jetty,'' which is considered his masterpiece, the giant black coil contrasted starkly with the dark pink water of the lake. But time and nature have left their marks. Thousands of people have visited this once-elusive artwork, sometimes hauling off parts of it as souvenirs.
The Dia Art Foundation owns the work and has been exploring the idea of systematically documenting the site, photographing it from year to year to give curators and conservators a better idea of how it is changing and a better basis for making decisions about whether to intervene.
Smithson also created "Floating Island to Travel Around Manhattan Island." His sketch was of a toy tug pulling a boat covered in rocks and trees, as if it were a shard of Central Park, a green and rocky iceberg. The work, 150 tons of conceptual art on a barge, was pulled by a real tugboat around Manhattan in 2005.
He was one of a number of artists in the 1960s and early 70s who chose to build site-specific pieces outdoors in the West, far from the commercialism of art galleries. Smithson in particular was intrigued by the idea of entropy, the inevitable disintegration of all objects in nature.
Michael Kimmelman, the chief art critic of The New York Times, described Smithson as "an academics' darling." He was, Mr. Kimmelman wrote, "a smooth-talking multimedia philosopher of the urban and suburban landscapes whose best-known work, 'Spiral Jetty,' while not the most successful of the great earth sculptures of the era, is an icon of Americana. Smithson's death at 35 in a plane crash while surveying the site for another planned earthwork has made him art's James Dean."

Tracy Arm, AlaskaLocation: Alaska & Pacific Coast
Tracy Arm, a port of call on a Disney Cruise Line 7-Night Alaska Cruise vacation, is a fjord located 45 miles south of Juneau, Alaska amid Tongass National Forest. Known for unparalleled natural beauty, this scenic destination is home to towering waterfalls, mammoth glaciers, rugged mountaintops and wildlife.
Because the cruise ship does not dock at Tracy Arm, Disney Cruise Line invites you to enjoy a scenic cruise of the fjord, where your ship's captain will bring you as close as possible to the unparalleled beauty that surrounds you everywhere you look.
Named after Civil War general Benjamin Franklin Tracy, Tracy Arm Fjord is an approximate 30-mile-long fjord—a narrow inlet created by glacial activity—that weaves its way past 7,000-foot high snow-capped mountains and floating icebergs both large and small. Formed thousands of years ago, this calm waterway boasts towering granite walls that jet up from the fjord majestically, framed against a sweeping forest terrain.
At the end of the fjord lays the translucent mountain masterpiece known as the Sawyer Glaciers, comprised of the North Sawyer and South Sawyer glaciers. Rising elegantly out of the water, these 2 age-old, glowing, light-blue calving glaciers offer a glimpse into a time so very long ago, when huge chunks of ice the size of continents swallowed up whole countries during the Ice Ages of the past. Once an hour on average, slabs of these great glaciers calve and tumble into the saltwater below.
In addition to the geological splendors that surround you wherever you look, Tracy Arm is home to a myriad wildlife including bald eagles, brown bears, goats and whales, providing ample opportunity to snap a picture of one of the area's long-standing natives.
A nature lovers' paradise to be sure, Tracy Arm invites you to behold the breathtaking beauty of the wild at its most dramatic and precious.
Fun Facts & Tips
Tracy Arm was designated as a wilderness area by the United States Congress in 1980.
The Tracy Arm area covers 653,179 acres.
Due to microscopic sediment, the water is a glacial blue.

Life is swift, craft elaborate, opportunity fleeting, trial erroneous, judgment questionable.

Counter Acting
It's a well known trick in the trade that to play drunk, you shouldn't just slur and stumble. Instead, you play it as somebody trying very hard not to do that – but failing. Those who are drunk pretend to be sober and think they can get away with it. So, playing drunk is to be miserable at playing sober.
The same is true for several of the most heartfelt emotions, like love, jealousy, fear, disappointment, despair, and so on. Someone falling in love initially tries to hide it. In jealousy we try all we can to overcome it, to be indifferent. With fear we fight not to be overcome by it. Actually, there are few feelings that we just go ahead and express willingly. Especially not the strongest ones.
In all these cases, the actor has to excel in counter acting, pretending the opposite, pretending not to have the feeling at hand. That makes it believable and intense.
Also playwrights must be aware of this paradox. And they are. In dialogue, what is being said is between the lines, not on them. What's spoken is often the very opposite of what the character feels or would like to express. Otherwise the drama loses its tension, well, its drama.
It says fundamental things about what it is to be human and how we really relate in our lives. It's kind of sad, but there it is. Our species seems to be one of awkward confusion. Life could be easy, at least most of it, but those big brains of ours make everything a mess, which takes a lifetime – at least – to sort out.
The catharsis, which is the true goal of every drama, is to realize that and thereby learn to live with it. Although we're rarely able of cutting through the fog in our own relations, on stage or on the screen we get to see others fail just as miserably. In doing so, they make the fog transparent. We understand.
It doesn't solve much, but it makes us grow.

So in summary acting is about of lying. Just the opposite of our art the aikido, which is about truth and honesty, thanks for the nice post Stefan.ReplyDeleteReplies
Or acting can be described as ura, as opposed to omote...Delete
- Jude McSpadJune 8, 2012 at 2:16 PM
I love this blog post! Especially the idea of acting as being ura. However, there are times when omote is present...Aikido and acting are remarkably the same...ReplyDelete
I disagree that acting is about 'lying'. I understand acting as being the character's 'truth'. Lying suggests pretending. As an actor you must 'be'. In life we suppress strong emotions. We learn to do so at a very early age in order to be socially appropriate. Drama "holds a mirror up to nature". I am not lying when I try to suppress the level of drunkeness/anger/love, I am protecting myself from embarrassment/shame/rejection. What is beautiful about the skilled actor, is the ability to release just enough of the truth to allow the audience to feel the tug-of-war within.
I worked as a professional actress for 10 years. The year I stopped I started practicing Aikido. The connection between the two never fails to captivate me:)
Dear Jude,ReplyDelete
Many thanks for your enlightening comment. I agree with you, and I think of Aristotle's conception of mimesis, which is also the way we humans learn from our predecessors. It's how knowledge is passed on. Not a bad thing.
I can see how you naturally find aikido to substitute acting, just as well as the opposite would work. I trained actor students in aikido, a number of years back, and I found them particularly talented with the mimesis necessary. That can take you very far, indeed.
- Jude McSpadJune 10, 2012 at 11:27 AM
Thank you. I am currently teaching voice and accents to acting students. I am particularly interested in introducing Aikido principles to my teaching practice. I'll let you know to what success:)ReplyDeleteReplies
I look forward to it. My experience is that there's a lot to be gained from applying aikido principles to the arts. No surprise, since that's what aikido is, too: an art.Delete
Hi Jude,ReplyDelete
I don't know you, but from reading what you wrote I tend to believe, that you are still more an actress than an aikidoka. Maybe I'm wrong, never been an actress, just the opposite.
Wish you a nice sunday

Rated 2 out of 5 by Kate56 from nice sole but I really like the soft and comfortable feeling of the sole. But because of the head of the shoes is so narrow so it bent my toes and that really hurt!! I returned them.

Thailand is not only a place where you and your family can let your hair down, relax, and go on some serious adventures; it is also an ancient Kingdom with a fascinating past, a country of exquisite natural beauty, and a land whose culture will intrigue you from your first hour in the country.
You should be sure to take advantage of all the attractions on offer, from the fun ones to the beautiful ones to the educational ones. This will provide your whole family with the cultural context and background to get that much more out of each and every experience and encounter you have in Thailand. You might consider planning to visit the cultural and educational attractions early in your trip—especially in Bangkok—then proceeding upcountry to apply and enjoy yourself armed with your newfound insights.
It will certainly take more than one visit to the Kingdom of Thailand to begin to grasp the long history and fascinating culture of the country.
Although there are beautiful parks and peaceful spots in Thailand's largest cities – like Lumpini and Chatuchak Parks in Bangkok, and Nong Nooch Gardens in Pattaya – you may wish to get out into the country to find the great picnic spots and islands of tranquility.
Museums, libraries, and other educational places can be great places to take the family in between adventures in Thailand.
Wildlife lovers may want to double their time in Thailand, if possible.Families with kids who love animals – and what kids don't? – will be in heaven.
Thailand has set aside great areas of land throughout the Kingdom to create scores of national parks, wildlife and non-hunting sanctuaries, and forest reserves.

I have an application where people in the field need to connect to our server. They will be in a location with no WiFi. There is always a phone, but no dial-up ISP.
Could someone point me to a paper or documentation on setting up a modem on our server to allow users to dial in and exchange information? I would be most comfortable with a nice error-correcting protocol for the communication, but if I absolutely had to I could just exchange blocks of data directly over the phone (no network protocol) and deal with the error management myself.

The Church of England — the mother church of my own denomination, The Episcopal Church — was not only established as the state church, it also explicitly sought to suppress nonconformist and Roman Catholic groups within the country (this is a part of Anglicanism's history over which we repent, and from which we have turned).
But, still, we teach our children at a young age that some of the first colonists came here because they wanted to practice their religion freely. There is an important nuance to be made here. The Puritans, along with other religious groups arriving in 17th-century America, wanted to practice their religion freely — they did not want freedom of religion.
Most of the early religious groups in the colonies sought to exercise control over their area, passing laws and ordinances based upon their religious belief systems. It wasn't until the late 18th century, when our Constitution was created, that the ideal of the free exercise of religion began to take root.
As we all know, the ideal of freedom of religion is not universally affirmed.
On Monday, the State Department published the "International Religious Freedom Report" for 2012. This annual report flows from understanding that religious freedom is a basic and universal human right, as articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a declaration that "has been the touchstone and the global standard for the protection of human rights around the world since 1948.
The findings of the 2012 report indicate a rise in religious intolerance around the world. Laws that keep individuals from being able to freely choose, practice, change or even reject their religion "remain pervasive." In particular, discrimination against Jews and Muslims is increasing in several countries.
Anti-Semitic prejudice, including either denying or glorifying the Holocaust, continues throughout the world. In Egypt, for instance, the media itself has participated in Holocaust glorification or denial at different times.
In Venezuela, one of the presidential candidates who was a Catholic was persecuted by the state-run media. They published various anti-Semitic statements about his Jewish ancestry.
At another time, a group gathered in protest to Israel outside a Venezuelan synagogue chanting Anti-Semitic slogans and throwing fireworks. Openly Anti-Semitic political parties have gained seats in parliaments in Europe and violent attacks against Jews in Europe is on the rise.
In Europe and Asia, particularly, rhetoric against Muslim continues to increase. For instance, in Belgium and India, laws and regulations are passed to restrict traditional Islamic clothing. In Burma, a Buddhist majority country, the Muslim minority experiences lethal violence, even having their villages burned to the ground.
Even within Muslim majority countries, the majority sect — whether Shia or Sunni — often persecutes the minority sect.
And the report indicates that the age of Christian persecution and martyrdom is far from over. In the Sudan, credible reports indicate that the authorities destroyed two Christian churches — one an Episcopal church and the other a Catholic church. In Pakistan, a mentally disabled Christian girl was imprisoned on blasphemy charges for more than a month. In Nigeria, Boko Haram extremists killed hundreds of Christians and Muslims.
When Secretary of State John Kerry announced this year's report, he acknowledged that our own country's record on religious freedom was not perfect. In particular, I would note that our country's ideal of freedom of religion continues to be misused by some religious groups as an excuse to prohibit others from a free exercise of their religion.
Roman Catholic leaders seek government support to keep employees from having equal access to birth control. Many Christian groups continue to support laws denying gays and lesbians the right to marry — a restriction on my church's freedom to exercise our religion, which includes an official rite for blessing same-sex relationships.
And, of course, Anti-Semitic and Anti-Islamic rhetoric has also continued a troubling rise here at home.
The universal value of freedom to practice your religion does not extend to permission for religious groups to restrict others from having that same freedom. People of all faiths, both domestically and around the world, need to continue to promote the ideals of actual religious freedom and tolerance.
