Don't put too much pressure on debut
By Matthew Cronin
Special to ESPN.com
When Andy Roddick won the U.S. Open junior championship at age 17, it was pretty obvious he had the outright power and competitive zeal to become a great player.
Lefty Donald Young has terrific touch and solid strokes, but at age 15, he's only 5-feet-10, 150 pounds.
When Donald Young became the youngest male to win the Australian Open junior championship two weeks ago -- at 15 years, six months becoming the youngest to reach No. 1 in the ITF junior rankings -- long-term projections are not as obvious. It's clear that if Young keeps improving at the level he has during the past year, he's a surefire top-50 pro.
Young lost in his pro debut as a wild card against fellow American Robby Ginepri 6-2, 6-2 on Monday night at the SAP Open in San Jose, Calif.
Young, a crafty lefty, has terrific touch and solid strokes, but at 5-feet-10, 150 pounds, he's not about to knock out giants like Marat Safin in his rookie year. While he has proved himself in the juniors, more than a few kids have impressed against their peers and then never developed the mental and physical tools to deal with week-in, week-out grind of the tour (remember Tommy Ho?). Plus, Young faces the expectations that come with being a promising African-American male player.
With Roddick, now 22, being the only elite American male outside of 34-year-old Andre Agassi, fans are looking for another kid to bring back the glory years of U.S. tennis when Agassi, Pete Sampras, Jim Courier and Michael Chang dominated the tour.
"I was fortunate because I was ready to play pro ball right away after I won U.S. Open [juniors]," Roddick said. "We have to realize how young Donald is and how much he has left to learn. I think his potential is unbelievable. The way he already constructs points, he's just one of those guys who has a natural feel for the game.
"My biggest concern is letting him grow and people knowing that this is a process. If he does come in and start winning some, then it should be looked upon as a bonus. It shouldn't be expected right away."
Much is expected of Young, who has been called the next great one by numerous renowned coaches since he won the 2003 Orange Bowl 16 and unders as a 14-year-old. In December 2004, Young lost in the final of the Orange Bowl 18s to another promising African-American male, Timothy Neilly. But USTA High Performance chief Eliot Teltscher was still singing Young's praises.
"He has a winning way about him," Teltscher said. "It would be hard to believe that he won't make it as a pro. He moves very well and has beautiful strokes. He really knows his way around the court."
Young turned pro early not only because he's showed ability but also because he comes from modest means. His parents, Donald Sr. and Ilona, are both tennis teaching pros who competed at the collegiate level. Donald Jr. was brought up in Chicago, but last year his family moved to Atlanta, where his parents set up a tennis academy.
His dad focuses on his son's technical aspects, while his mom fine-tunes his mental game. His father says his son is the best lefty he's ever seen. By the time Donald Jr. was 9 years old, his father says he knew college was out of the question for his promising son. Ilona Young says they let their son take big career steps so he won't get bored.
"We've let him lead us," Ilona Young said. "As soon as he masters something, we move to the next level."
That's sounds like a solid parenting philosophy, but neither can be sure how Donald will respond to the rigors of the pro tour at age 15. Some phenoms have done fine, like Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who turned pro at 15. Nadal became a Davis Cup hero at age 18 and is currently ranked No. 17. Others have seriously struggled. France's 18-year-old Richard Gasquet, another pro who made waves by winning matches at 15, suffered with health and confidence problems in 2004 and is now ranked No. 111.
Roddick knows what it's like to hold the hopes of a nation. After winning his first major title as a pro at the '03 U.S. Open, Roddick's first words to the media were "No more, 'What's it feel like to be the future of American tennis?'"
"Hopefully, Donald is not going to travel full-time right away," Roddick said. "But at the same time, you have to kick butt when it's there to be kicked. He's obviously not a normal 15-year-old with the ability that he has. I hope they still let him do some normal stuff. I don't want it to start feeling like a job to him this early.
"It's a very sensitive situation because you have someone who is so talented and who wants to play the game, so you have to let him do his own thing, but at the same time, I think the sense of normalcy has to remain, as well."
Young might eventually master the pros, but it is doubtful he'll be doing that soon. It's extremely rare for male tennis players to do major damage before they are 18, mostly because they haven't physically matured. Moreover, the mental strength it takes to keep progressing when the world's eyes are fastened on your progress is phenomenal. Young might have "Next" in the potential department, but only hard work and a cool head will keep him climbing the ladder in the reality department.
"You see some kids who keep hearing how great they are, get it into their heads and forget what got them there," fellow African-American player James Blake said. "Donald has to remember that until he starts having results, that it's all potential. No one remembers potential. You have to back it up."

Talk:2009 suicide air raid on Colombo
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the 2009 suicide air raid on Colombo article.
Article policies
|A news item involving 2009 suicide air raid on Colombo was featured on Wikipedia's main page in the In the news section on 22 February 2009.
|A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day... section on February 20, 2011 and February 20, 2014.
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
The 2 pages should not be merged, because although it deserves a section on the sky tigers page, it also an accurate description of a very distinct attack committed by them. plus, if it was merged, it would have been made smaller and less detail would have been avalible on the attacks, even though there is a goldmine of information on the event.Acaeton (talk) 16:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Is it just me or does that sound fucking awesome? Imagine walking into heaven and going "I died in a suicide air raid!" the angels will probably give you a pint of nectar on the house :D --184.108.40.206 (talk) 06:36, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- No it sounds fucking stupid. Niflheim awaits cowardly warriors too fearful to face battle head against those who can fight back. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 12:04, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
9/11 passage[edit]
I find it very strange to equate this attack with 9/11. True, they both used planes. But
- Al Qaida used very big planes, LTTE very small planes
- Al Qaida kidnapped planes, LTTE used their very own planes
- Al Qaida wanted to damage a symbol of the USA, the plans of the LTTE are unclear, but the Colombo WTC was probably not their goal
- Al Qaida met their target, LTTE did not
To sum up, the similarities are very slim. The similarities to Japanese kamikaze bombers are much greater. I know that there is one source [1] with the title "Air Tigers were on '9/11' mission", but that title is a bit strange, since in the body of the text, no reference is made to 9/11 or Al Qaida or anything of the sort. It appears that the journalist does not really claim that the Tigers were on a 9/11 mission.Jasy jatere (talk) 16:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but when writing Wikipedia articles, the opinions of individual editors don't count. That means your comparisons above, and your questioning the intentions of the journalists have no bearing.
- FTA, Air Tigers were on '9/11' mission. It doesn't get clearer than that. Also, you might want to read the PTI article. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 18:03, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- The thing to realise is that the planes were packed with 200kg's of high explosives, just imagine the scale of devastation that would have been crashed into their targets which were the air force base, and the army headquarters. So equating this attacks with the 9/11 attacks are reasonable.Kerr avon (talk) 15:57, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
I agree with Jasy Jatere, there is no valid or necessary comparison between the two. These attacks are much more related to the attacks of Japanese Kamakazi fighters in WWII.
- Read the citations, and WP:VERIFY for related Wikipedia policy. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 16:47, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
I've the citations and i've read WP:verity, I suggest you do the same. "exceptional claims require exceptional sources". Further, your text makes a definitive statement when one article only questions the "9/11 relation" and niether source says the LTTE intended a 9/11 like thing, read WP:fringe theories, which have no place on wikipedia. Also learn how wikipedia works, your basic use of english is flawed. there are websites where you can learn the importance of definitive statements and a host of better professional writing and quoting skills, which you seem to lack extensively. Stop claiming vandalism, remember i'm not the only one who has questioned your motives. Please reply here to solve this dispute instead of causing reverting wars. -User_Talk:Marinecore88 —Preceding undated comment was added on 02:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC).
No personal attacks were made, i was replying to yours/Keer avons claims that I am vandalising. I've also given you some constructive criticism to help you make your articles more valid. Again please use the talk page.User_Talk:Marinecore88 —Preceding undated comment was added on 23:27, 25 February 2009 (UTC).
This article seems blatantly one-sided and certainly does not warrant its own page. Recommend merging with another page, if not adequately covered on the other page. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:35, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- The article is not one sided at all, it correctly cites from reliable sources about one of the most significant events in the history of the Sri Lankan Civil war. If the terrorists planes packed with 200kg's of C4 each were able to carry out their mission then the sri lankan airforce would have been annhilated, and the main army headquarters destroyed. Also this is the first time that the terrorists planes were shot down. So this article indeed warrants a seperate article for itself.Kerr avon (talk) 15:54, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- You have to be more specific. What sections are disputed, what parts are one sided etc. Also, if there are aspects that are not covered, feel free to do so. Until then, I'm removing the tags.
- Given that this attack got significant media coverage (and was notable enough to appear on the main page), there really isn't a need to merge it with Air Tigers. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 16:44, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Your user page shows quite clearly that you would have a definite bias here. I have not seen a shred of evidence of any explosives from any reliable source. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 16:51, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- My userpage is of no concern to this article. Everything related to the attack is cited using reliable sources. You can click the small numbers next to any sentence to read the citaitions. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 17:09, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Can we have some reliable sources for the presence of explosives on the planes? The Sri Lankan military does not seem to be an impartial reliable source for this information. That does seem like a large amount of explosive for such a small plane. Don't you think they would have found better uses for it than sending it on a plane where there is no guarantee it will reach its target? All seems very suspect to me. So, can you please point us in the direction of any reliable sources for verifiable evidence of explosives? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 17:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Here is a photo of the captured c4 explosives found in the plane which was shot down [2]. Here are some links which describe the explosives that the planes contained [3][4], Also the devestation they caused to the Inland revenue building was due to the explosives exploding as just a plane crashing cant cause that much damage. It will be difcult to find a source regarding the explosives which does not directly or indirectly quote the army as it was the army that discovered them. Please remember that the plane is a 4 seater, and it was carrying only one suicide cadre that leaves 70kg(average weight of a man) * 3 = 210 kg of weight that the plane can lift. So its indeed possible to pack 200kg of high explosive per plane.Kerr avon (talk) 00:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

The tale of a Jewish martyr and his sister who died together in Mexico City in 1596 explores his determination to never lose heart, and to cling to his faith and cultural identity in the face of totalitarian oppression It is 1596 and in Mexico the Inquisition is at its most efficient. A young man trembles in his cell as he prays for salvation, torn between the Christianity he was schooled in and his ancestral faith. What heresies will the Holy Office uncover? Can he protect his mother and sisters?
He is Luis de Carvajal. His forbears had fled the Inquisition in Spain to Portugal and then from there to the New World. But the lives they try to rebuild as conversos in Mexico are just as perilous, for the Inquisition is determined to root out heretics throughout its realms. Luis's quest for true faith unfolds a tense and moving narrative, as he and his family's spirit and ingenuity are tested again and again. This vivid history presents a world without the human rights and tolerance we take for granted today; yet the insights remain all too pertinent???insights into the power of faith, the tangled knot of religious and political interests, and human yearning for identity, belonging, and spirituality.

India Eisley, 18, to Play Young Angelina Jolie in Maleficent
India Eisley has taken on a major role -- she'll be playing a younger version of Angelina Jolie in the upcoming Disney flick Maleficent.
According to Yahoo Movies, the 18-year-old actress is the latest star cast in the Disney Sleeping Beauty reboot. The film is still in the early stages of signing on actors, with Super 8's Elle Fanning rumored to be in the running to play Princess Aurora.
PHOTOS: Angelina Jolie's teenage modeling shots
Eisley bares an uncanny resemblance to a young Jolie, and shares the same dark hair, piercing eyes, porcelain skin and full lips as the Oscar-winning actress. Her Hollywood resume includes starring as Subject 2/Eve in Kate Beckinsale's Underworld: Awakening and appearing as main character Ashley Juergens on ABC's teen drama The Secret Life of the American Teenager (opposite The Descendants' Shailene Woodley).
PHOTOS: Famous film princesses
Jolie has already spoken about starring as one of Disney's most famous villains, having said she and her six kids with fiance Brad Pitt are very excited.

Borage Dry Skin Therapy Lotion
Borage Dry Skin Therapy Lotion 8 oz Liquid
How does Borage Therapy work?
Many people have dry skin that just won't go away and isn't relieved with traditional moisturizers. This is why we've created
ShiKai Borage Therapy.
These products have an ingredient so effective, it's been proven in medical journals again and again. In other words, it really works. Borage oil, extracted from the seeds of the borage plant, is a natural source of gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), an important OMEGA-6 fatty acid which is required for healthy skin cell membranes. Without sufficient GLA, cells can't retain enough moisture. This can result in dry skin and other chronic skin problems. Borage oil penetrates deep, delivering GLA and its benefits directly to the cells. As a result, skin retains more moisture and is healthier. This top selling lotion has a 10 year history of successful sales. It has been clinically tested (on people) and proven to offer real relief for sufferers of dry, red and itchy skin.
Directions For use all over the body
Warnings: Keep out of reach of children. As with all dietary supplements, consult your healthcare professional before use. See product label for more information.

Robert Morris romps past FDU 74-40
TEANECK, N.J. (AP)—Rob Robinson scored 20 points to lead Robert Morris to an easy 74-40 win over Fairleigh Dickinson on Saturday night.
Jeremy Chappell finished with 12 points, five rebounds, four assists and six steals for the Colonials (13-7, 8-1 Northeast Conference), while Dallas Green added 10 points and also pulled down five rebounds.
Cameron Tyler had 14 points for the struggling Knights (4-15, 4-5), who committed 26 turnovers and made just 36.8 percent of their shots.
Robert Morris was in command for most of the game, jumping out to an 8-2 lead and closing the first half with a 12-4 run—featuring six points by Robinson—to take a 38-23 lead at the break. The Colonials then maintained double-digit leads throughout the second half and closed the game with a 15-3 run.
Robert Morris also won the battle of the boards, outrebounding FDU 32-27.

Posted November 27, 2012 on AP on Fox
The young Orlando Magic acknowledge they still have much to learn. They also know they could get an important lesson from their next game. The Magic will attempt to bounce back from the first loss on their season-high homestand Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs, who will seek a season-high fifth straight win and eighth in a row on the road. With a new coach, three returning contributors and four rookies, Orlando knows it might take a little while for things to jell. The Magic (5-8) showed some progress with back-to-back wins to open their five-game homestand and nearly earned another Sunday against Boston before falling 116-110 in overtime. Orlando led by as many as seven points in the fourth quarter but committed six of its 19 turnovers in the final period. The Magic have had at least 15 turnovers in each of their last seven contests. "We did a good job of playing against their veteran team," said point guard Jameer Nelson, whose 20 points were one shy of matching J...

Re: Will you be getting a PS4 or an Xbox One ?
Most of my gaming these days is done on the 360, but as it stands now I might switch to the PS4.
I'm in no real hurry to make the upgrade though. Most of the upcoming titles I'm interested in are either current gen or both. I'll probably give it a year. If Microsoft comes to their senses and backs off on their creepy assed big brother nonsense, I'll reconsider.

Cool8800C Cell Phone/Gaming System
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cell Phones, GPS, Music, Video Games, Wireless / WiFi
The Cool8800C works like an ordinary cell phone with touchscreen until you unfold it and it becomes a mini-gaming system with a second screen with audio/video/NES compatibility. Other features of the 120 x 55 x 23 device is dual-band GSM with GPRS, Bluetooth and e-book capability, an FM tuner, 1GB memory and microSD and TF card slots. We dig the idea and the $140.00 price, but we are thinking that you might have to practice to get the hang of the gaming aspect.

Nintendo New Titles for Wii and DS/DSi
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Nintendo, Nintendo DS, Portable/Mobile, Wii
Nintendo has released this year's game schedule for the Wii and DS/DSi. Titles include Punch-Out, Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits, the Conduit, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. Check out the full list at the link. We think that this is a good time on their part as it seems that Wally World is already allowing pre-order for the DSi for $169.00, with no mention of any games, even though the mini-game system is compatible with many DS titles.

Nintendo DSi Game System Set To Arrive in April
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Nintendo, Nintendo DS, Portable/Mobile
Nintendo has announced that the DSi will be coming to Europe April 3 and to North America April 5. Packed into the game system is thinner hardware, a larger screen, camera and an SD card slot. This version comes in black or blue and will cost $170.00, which is only $40.00 more than the DSLite and about $40.00 less than those selling overseas. No games titles have yet to be announced but we expect those will be coming along soon.

Pillow Interface for NES PunchOut
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Fighting, Mods/Hacks, Nintendo
If you dug the old NES game PunchOut, then you will surely like "kirton's" interface. He took a foam filled bag with impact sensors then wired them to a PC game pad. This transfers the impact of the game through an NES emulator. The software also includes visual feedback as the sprite turns pink when hit and an LED indicator flashes. Eventually, he wants to include a strobe light to emulate character disorientation when punched. You can get all the details on Instructables.

MIT Student Straps A Wii On His Guitar
Posted by Patrick Phelps Categories: Mods / Hacks, PC / Laptop, Video Games, Videos
Tired of changing effects pedals with his feet while performing with his band Vivian Darkbloom, MIT graduate student Rob Morris attached a Nintendo Wii remote to his guitar with a strip of Velcro. Mapping acceleration and button press values from the Wii, Morris set his Mac to translate the movement of his guitar into a variety of audio effects. The result: a new hybrid instrument that you'll have to see to believe!
How does it work? The Wii controller sends data to a laptop, so the computer knows where the instrument is positioned, and it knows when he's pressing buttons on the Wiimote. Morris takes this information and smooths it out a bit with some computer code (MIT grad student, hello…); the data is then sent out of the computer through a firewire cable. This firewire cable then sends the data to his stompboxes and other effects. So, essentially, he's controlling guitar effects by pressing Wii buttons and gesturing with the instrument, rather than pressing a pedal on the floor.
Check out the above video for a demonstration.

Last night I dug around the hard drive and was unable to find the
article text mentioned. I apparently deleted it after publication.
I'll make a photocopy and forward it to whichever address you
It seems easier for me to just go get you a copy of "Names in Stone"
at the park and send it also. The two-minute drive won't kill me.
I'll see what else I have knocking about here that might be of use.
Sounds like your search engine is a bit touchy.
You are probably aware of the vanadalism at Laurel Hill Cemetery
some years back. Numerous stones were overturned or broken.
Townsend's was hit pretty hard, but subsequently repaired. No rest
for the wicked. There's a popular local myth that he once occupied
the Gapland Mausoleum, now in need of repair. Gath intended its four
vaults for himself, his wife Bessie, and his parents. All ended up
in Laurel Hill, Philly. The mausoleum went unoccupied.
Your journalism-major son may very well have been impacted by the
Arch. Seems to do that to everyone one way or the other. It's kind
of a white elephant, oddly conceived and oddly placed.
Architecturally people either love it or hate it, no middle ground.
If your son is working at the Inquirer have him touch base with Ed
Colimore, a good friend of mine.
Let me know where to send this stuff and I'll get on it.

Glaxo Letter Defends Avandia
GlaxoSmithKline PLC defended Avandia in a letter published on the Lancet medical journal's Web site, pointing to three studies to argue that the diabetes drug is safe for the heart.
Ronald Krall, chief medical officer, wrote in the letter that Glaxo did a "meta analysis" similar to the one conducted by Cleveland Clinic cardiologist Steven Nissen, whose article in the New England Journal of Medicine last week linked the drug to a potentially increased risk of heart attacks. Glaxo's own meta-analysis also found indications of increased risk, Dr. Krall wrote, but he said the number of adverse events was low.
Dr. Krall also discussed results from two large Glaxo-funded studies of the drug. Neither trial, called Dream and Adopt, was designed primarily to assess the drug's heart risks. But Glaxo's analysis of the Adopt trial showed major adverse cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, were "rare," and heart risks were similar to those of two other diabetes drugs. The Dream trial also showed "no significant difference" in cardiovascular events between the drug and placebo, the letter said.
Meanwhile, an independent safety board recently reviewed an interim analysis of an ongoing study, Record, designed specifically to assess the drug's impact on the heart. The board determined the trial should continue, the Glaxo letter said.
In an interview, Christopher Viehbacher, Glaxo's president of U.S. pharmaceuticals, said the trial's interim results were "giving us the confidence to say that we stand behind this product." He said there is a chance the interim results will become public before the Record trial is complete, though the trade-off would be that the publicity could weaken the statistical power of the final results.
Mr. Viehbacher said it wouldn't surprise the company if the Food and Drug Administration were to call for "some labeling changes" for Avandia. One possibility would be elevating a heart-failure warning on the label to a more severe "black box" warning, he said.
Dr. Nissen criticized Glaxo's letter to the Lancet, saying the company was slicing the data differently from the Adopt and Dream results originally published. Dr. Nissen also said the company was referring to such small subsets of data in the Adopt and Dream trials, that no firm conclusion could be drawn.
"Somebody went back and looked for something that would support their contention," Dr. Nissen said. "This is not a scientifically proper way to analyze data."
Mr. Viehbacher said that after Dr. Nissen's article was published last week, "we were shouting in a gale-force wind blowing against us." Now, he said, the public-relations situation was improving.

Hmmmmmmmm...interesting little dialogue between Kapoor and Karama.
I can see that deep down, the way Karama behaved towards Ullman DID bother Kapoor on some level. That will have to be dealt with in some way if they want to be friends...I just hope it can be in a conversation where they'll be sensitive to each other's feelings.
As for Karama...I wish I could see into his head. I at least hope he's happy that Kapoor is learning his language.
(I hope she didn't just make a major mistake with what she said, though.)
The scene in engineering...I wonder if the guy who took over for her was surprised to see a human get so absorbed in her duty? Was I wrong to almost hear a bit of laughter in his voice when he told her that she was doing his job? He DID smile at the end, at least...
I hope she didn't introduce anything into the system that shouldn't be there, though. If she did, Zamarran and Ya'val won't take kindly to it.

I have a white labradoodle. He is big and fluffy and bleach white......when he is clean. Which is almost never. He gets so dirty when he goes outside. His feet will be dark brown caked in mud a good 6-8 inches. His snout gets covered in dirt from sniffing around. He also gets wet and stays wet. His paws get soooo wet and track puddles of water and mud through the house.
Besides bathing him all the time does anyone have any other suggestions? I have seen those booties at the store that look like balloons but I am afraid he will eat them. He eats everything.
This is him, to get an idea of the size:

Employers and Unions
Now we turn to consider some aspects of the wage-setting process, which is in part highly decentralized and in part generally centralized in Japan and highly decentralized in the United States. In Japan, wage setting is finalized at the level of the firm, either under collective bargaining between autonomous enterprise-based unions and firms or unilaterally by management but with guidance and coordination emanating from an annual economywide process known as Shunto. In this chapter, after noting how certain characteristics of wage performance in the economy at large tend to interact with the SET system of labor management within the enterprise, we examine the wage-determining behavior of large Japanese firms, the structure and objectives of trade unionism, and the bargaining power of Japanese enterprise unions.
In Chapter 4, we pointed out how the firm's internal wage structures have either supported or conformed to essential features of its SET system. In Japan tolerance of large individual differences in pay in the work place (differences that result from steep age-earnings profiles) has made it possible to combine career incentive properties of SET with effective teamwork in small groups. Moreover, by increasing experienced employees' fear of dismissal and reluctance to quit ( Koshiro, 1983c), steep profiles strengthen the incentives for their employers to invest in employee

MEMBER ALERT: AOPA will close Nov. 25 at 2:30 p.m. EST for the Thanksgiving holiday.We will open Monday, Nov. 30, at 8:30 a.m. EST. Have a safe holiday!
May 1, 1994
As an aircraft mechanic and pilot, I've performed many cylinder break-in flights in aircraft ranging from Cessna 150s to cabin-class twins. I've had several real in-flight emergencies during this kind of maintenance flight, as well as during regular business or pleasure flights.
Most causes were mechanical, such as broken pushrod seals, a stuck carburetor needle valve, a broken fuel line, a defective mixture cable connection, etc., although some were human errors, like finger-tightened spark plugs that came loose in flight.
Each time I have such an experience, I always make sure that it will not happen again by paying more attention to these problem areas during the preflight check. Minor problems add up to major ones when ignored, as was the case on a recent flight.
I was assigned to break in a newly overhauled Lycoming engine installed on a Piper Archer. After a careful engine runup, I took off from Watsonville Municipal Airport on the central California coast. I flew over the airport for a while to make sure nothing was abnormal and questionable.
There were only two minor squawks reported for my airplane: a sticking left fuel quantity gauge and a slight leak at the left fuel drain valve. The fuel gauge needle was easily unstuck by tapping the face of the gauge, and the leak at the drain valve was only a few drops an hour.
So I headed for Vacaville, about 90 nm to the north. It was an uneventful, pleasant flight. Upon landing, I removed the engine cowling to inspect the freshly painted, shiny powerplant. Everything looked great.
I departed for Porterville in the San Joaquin Valley. After landing, I checked the engine again, refueled, and prepared to leave. During preflight, however, I noticed the left drain valve leak had become much more noticeable — now it was several drops a minute.
The fuel gauge sticking problem was still there, but tapping still solved the problem. A little over 40 gallons of fuel was more than enough for the 1.5-hour final leg back to my home, even with the leak.
I left 85-degree-hot Porterville for 55-degree-cold Watsonville. My fuel selector was on the left tank, and I was going to switch midway in the flight over an uncontrolled public airport. Within 15 minutes after departure at 2,000 feet, my engine suddenly quit. I immediately raised the nose to attain 76 knots, the best power-off gliding airspeed.
I've noticed many pilots, during a simulated engine-out practice, hesitate in raising the nose to slow to best-glide airspeed. I've learned to do that to gain extra altitude. In fact, I gained more than 300 feet by doing it this time.
I remembered seeing a private airstrip on my right about a minute before my engine quit. I made a gentle right turn and started trouble- shooting by switching tanks, turning on the electric fuel pump, applying carburetor heat, checking the primer, etc.
The engine restarted in 10 seconds, leading me to believe the engine-driven fuel pump had been the problem. I had this problem before in a Piper Tomahawk. With the airport just ahead, I shut down the engine again because I didn't want pieces of a broken fuel pump entering the $10,000 engine.
Before turning off the master switch, I looked at the left fuel gauge and tapped it with my fingers. It showed about three-fourths full, but the needle didn't move at all.
I landed safely and coasted off the rough but comfortably long, paved runway. I began wondering how long it would take to replace a fuel pump at this private airstrip. But when I got out of the airplane, I was shocked to see that the left fuel drain valve was gone. It obviously came off in flight. The engine had quit not because of a pump failure, but because of a dry fuel tank. That's why switching to the right tank restarted the engine. Unfortunately, my fuel gauge stuck at the same time, masking the problem.
After thanking the owner of the private landing strip for not yelling at me for my unauthorized visit, I took off with 20 gallons of fuel in the right wing. During an uneventful flight back, however, I kept thinking, "Well, with my luck today, the right fuel drain valve might come out at any second."
I flew with two students later that afternoon and had begun to calm down by the time the second one showed up.

COMPOSERS: Create a Score for THIS ANIMATION.
NOTE: Read THESE NOTES when contributing to this collab.
DTobocman has written THIS SCORE for our Fire Triangle animated short that really matches our original request. It's piano only. And he's helpfully included a chart, as well as individual tracks, to enable others to add to it. Check those out HERE.
I think it would be great to hear a bit more instrumentation on it: Clarinet? Flute? Mallets, as David suggests? As mentioned in the earlier request, the score doesn't need to be filled out in a big way…There's a lot of information being imparted, and the style of animation is really simple, so we don't want to overpower it with the music. But maybe some of the melodies could be played on a solo instrument of some sort to give it some dimension? Or, maybe you have ideas for your own parts to lay on top of this? Our only note is that we're not looking for sampled instruments; We MUCH prefer a real one.
Thanks again to DTobocman for coming with another great piece of music! Looking forward to what more colors the community brings to this one : )
As before, please upload your contributions as the following (as you're able to…If you can't do one or more, no prob):
1) A movie file with a mix of the original music plus your additions, sync'd to picture
2) A stereo reference mix of the above….minus dialogue or SFX
3) Individual tracks of your parts, with no effects or EQ.
Piano score using a sampled upright piano
Note: Zip Files are useful for upload and downloading raw resources in native formats like Photoshop, Illustrator, high-quality Video and Audio projects, and batches of stem files.
However: When downloading, please remember to use caution opening any files downloaded from the internet if you don't recognize the filetype.
Update: the two individual piano tracks have been replaced (I had submitted blanks by accident). And btw, the audio files are all 48k and 24 bit.
Original post: In case anyone wants to add to or replace parts within my all-piano score fro Fire Triangle, I've separated the piano track into "rhythm" and "melodies" to make it easy to mute a piano version of the melody and replace it with a clarinet, violin, mallet instrument, etc. Within the zip file, please find: 4 audio files = click track, piano "all_mix", piano "rhythm" and piano "melodies" 1 MIDI file with the piano performance split as rhythm/melodies 2 PDF charts, one all piano, the other piano + melodies The click is at 115 with a couple of tempo changes to 172.5. The faster tempo is related to the quarter note triplet of the original tempo. Thanks, dtobocman

Ex-Neighbours actress and Go Back presenter Imogen Bailey starts website Lessons Overboard to help asylum seekers
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- September 26, 2012
TRACING the journey taken by asylum seekers on the acclaimed SBS series, Go Back To Where You Came From has led actress Imogen Bailey in a new direction.
Confronted by the real plight of refugees in Somalia, Indonesia and Christmas Island has shocked the former Neighbours star into action, launching a new website to share the "facts'' Bailey was confronted with and provide a platform for asylum seekers to tell their stories.
Lessons Overboard has so far garnered the support of six refugee support agencies, including Amnesty International, taking its name from the infamous Children Overboard scandal which engulfed her Go Back co-star and Howard Government defence minister, Peter Reith.
Bailey and the ex-politician clashed over the incident during the documentary, with Reith fobbing off her questions by saying he was "not in the education business.''
It was a red rag to a bull, the one-time bikini model says, who set about building the "world's biggest classroom'' online to educate herself and others on the asylum seeker debate.
The website, which went live this week, seeks to challenge the ``potent language'' currently used by politicians and some media, in a bid to ``strip away the fear tactics, start getting the facts out there and encourage both parties to make some daring choices,'' Bailey said.
"The sloganeering holds a very ugly mirror to where Australian politics is at right now,'' the 35-year-old activist said.
"I will never pretend to be a politician, or say I have the solutions but my answer is to educate.''
The one-time calendar girl makes no apologies for her campaigning, after years of feeling she needed to for her career choices.
"I've always felt really empowered by the (modelling) work I've done, but I also felt the need to apologise. Now, for the first time, I feel I don't have to explain myself.''
She hopes to attract 10,000 followers to the site by October 7, the anniversary of the Children Overboard allegations, ahead of a November 10 "webinar'' featuring refugees, experts and politicians

TERMINAL, TEXAS. Terminal is at the intersection of U.S. Highway 80 and Farm Road 1788 and on the Missouri Pacific railroad in west central Midland County. The community developed around a dirt landing strip built in 1927 by oilman Samuel Addison Sloan, who leased 220 acres of grassland between Midland and Odessa from rancher Clarence Scharbauer and had the landing strip graded, a water well drilled, and a hangar built for his private plane. In 1928 military planes began landing at Sloan Field to refuel. On January 1, 1929, Sloan was killed when his plane crashed near Colorado City, but his landing strip had developed into an airport with refueling facilities, a passenger terminal, a flying school, a snack bar, and a residence. A small detachment of an army unit was stationed there.
After Sloan's death his family bought the land he had leased for the airfield. On July 1, 1939, they sold the land to the city of Midland, and the airfield became Midland Municipal Airport. In 1941 the army opened a bombardier school at the airport and renamed it Midland Army Air Field. In 1946 the air base was given inactive status, and the little community around it received a second-class post office, named Terminal because of the airport.
In February 1947 the buildings on the base were converted to civilian use, and the city of Midland, which still owned the land, reclaimed its airport. Some military buildings became residences, and others were converted to federal use. In 1949 the community reported a population of 100 and four businesses. At some time a public school and a church served the community. By 1958 the population had increased to 400 and the businesses to thirty-two. In 1965 Midland annexed the community. The municipal airport, renamed Midland International Airport, served a wide region of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico in 1990.

Customer Reviews
Don't listen to the other Reviewers
This app is not meant to have TRUE night vision capabilities (seeing in pitch black) but it states in the app description it is to see more clearly in low-lit areas, which it does well. I compared this to the iPhone 4S camera. In the app I could make out solid things, but in the camera app, all I saw was pitch black. Also, if this doesn't provide true night vision, it is NOT the app's fault, but the camera's fault. So for all of you out there giving bad reviews, it is your fault for not seeing what this app was INTENDED for. It even states in the description that it isn't true night vision, but it helps you to see in low lit areas, which it does very, very, good. This app is the closest thing on an iPhone that you can get to true night vision, so if you are looking for that, then grab this app and don't listen to those other crappy app reviewers that are too lazy to realize things and even read an app description. This is the closest thing to true night vision, so GET THIS APP. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Stars for a beautiful app.
Very good
My dog always barks at a corner of my room so I took a picture with this app and I was surprised of what I saw. It was a little girl holding a little dog. No joke. This is for real. Things have been napping in my house like cubers opening and stuff like that but and my dog goes nuts at night and sometimes in the day and will bark in the corner like he seees something and now I know why. This app is cool.
Needs work
The app is kinda cool! It def needs some fine tuning and adjustments. The lag in the movement of the camera is horrible. Plus you shouldnt have to turn the light on for the clearest "green" night vision effect. You should be able to see perfect with out it hence the true night vision capability. I know this is only an app for purely entertainment purposes, but if it could be made to actually function like authentic night vision plus work on a smart phone! Thats a million dollar idea right there!

Re: I forgot my security question in response to Randall Emerson
Because I can not remember my answers to the security questions that was asked on Itunes and I haven't been able to purchase any tunes with my $136.00 in credit for weeks, there is a way to resolved the problem, that is for me. I turned on Itunes and went into "Account" and added a credit card and then I updated. I then tried purchasing and it worked! It will bypass the security questions. Then I went back into my "Account" and deleted the credit card and the security question box never appeared again. Hope this helps others, it did for me. Good luck!

Red Wings-Senators quick take: thoughts about a deep dive into a shallow puddle
by George Malik on 10/23/13 at 09:04 PM ET
Comments (24)
Ottawa Senators defeat the Detroit Red Wings 6-1.
This wasn't right.
From my perspective as both a fan and as someone who's going to rack up over 30 hours over two-and-a-half days covering this game, and especially as someone whose favorite non-Wing is now wearing #11...
The Red Wings went from what could have been 7-3-and-1 to 6-4-and-what-the-*#$%@&-was-that? in a hurry. They did so by simply not showing up in front of Jimmy Howard--who, again, surrendered multiple goals that he did not see until they went past him because the Wings can only seemingly screen their own goaltender...
And I'd mentioned this as soon as the Wings-Coyotes game was over, but I guess I have to do it again:

Avalanche forward Cody McLeod insists that he didn't mean to hurt Red Wings' Niklas Kronwall
by George Malik on 10/23/13 at 09:02 PM ET
Comments (1)
As if one couldn't leave well enough alone, via Pro Hockey Talk's Cam Tucker, suspended Colorado Avalanche forward Cody McLeod weighed in on his 5-game sit while speaking with the Denver Post's Mike Chambers, insisting that Red WIngs defenseman Niklas Kronwall's admission of culpability absolves him of some culpability:
"I can see where the NHL is coming from," McLeod said in his first public comments about the incident. "They want to get rid of the injuries and I respect that, but I don't necessarily agree with the length of time. But it's out of my hands and we'll just move on."
McLeod was pro-active in reaching out to Kronwall, who suffered a concussion after cutting back against the wall — and the grain — when McLeod was on the forecheck. McLeod visited Kronwall during the game at the Pepsi Center.

Cotsonika discusses Daniel Alfredsson's acclimation and acclimitization to life as a Red Wing
by George Malik on 10/23/13 at 12:03 PM ET
Comments (0)
Updated with "five reasons why Daniel Alfredsson made the right choice when he left the Senators" at 2:03 PM: I'm trying to keep as much of the hubbub surrounding tonight's "reunion game" between the Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings (7:30 PM, FSD/TSN/TVA Sports/97.1 FM) in the game-day entry and the Ouellet recall entry, and I'd prefer to not post every dang Alfredsson story on its own given that Monday night, Tuesday afternoon and evening and even this morning have been littered with Alfredsson stories.
That being said, Yahoo Sports' Nicholas J. Cotsonika penned an Alfredsson story that stands on its own, discussing the Wings' "free agency wining and dining period" wooing of Alfredssson, the Alfredsson family's acclimation to a new hometown in Birmingham and a new experience entirely in living in the U.S. for the first time, and especially Alfredsson's in-progress "fit" with the Wings on the ice--in both present and future tenses:

Red Wings recall Xavier Ouellet for precautionary reasons

Comments (4)
Niklas Kronwall took a puck to his chin and teeth this morning, and as such...
… 2011 Second-Round Pick Has Played One Game with Detroit This Season …
DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings today recalled defenseman Xavier Ouellet from the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.
Ouellet, 20, logged 17:15 of ice time against the San Jose Sharks during his NHL debut with Detroit on Monday. A native of Bayonne, France, Ouellet has also played in five games with the Griffins this season, showing two assists and a plus-one rating. Prior to turning professional, Ouellet skated in four QMJHL seasons with the Montreal Juniors and Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, registering 160 points (41-119-160) and 177 penalty minutes in 223 games. In 2012-13, he finished ninth on his club with 41 points (10-31-41) in 50 games during the regular season and ranked second among QMJHL defensemen with 16 points (7-9-16) in 15 postseason games. He represented Canada at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Ufa, Russia, notching three points (1-2-3) in six games.
The Windsor Star's Bob Duff, MLive's Ansar Khan and the Macomb Daily's Chuck Pleiness all report that Ouellet was recalled as insurance in case Kronwall cannot play:

One more reminder: the Red Wings' Saturday game against the Rangers is 'Hockey Fights Cancer Night'
by George Malik on 10/23/13 at 09:58 AM ET

From DetroitRedWings.com's Christy Hammond, here's a friendly reminder about the charitable thrust of Saturday's game against the New York Rangers:
The Detroit Red Wings will host Hockey Fights Cancer Night presented by Van Andel Institute - Purple CommunitySM this Saturday, Oct. 26, when the Wings host the New York Rangers at 7:00 p.m. (FOX Sports Detroit & 97.1 The Ticket).
The Red Wings are one of seven NHL teams that will celebrate their Hockey Fights Cancer Night game this month with all-lavender dasherboards, which is the color that represents awareness for all forms of cancer.

Red Wings-Senators set-up and overnight report: on 'Alfie's' reunion game, charitable news and Nick
by George Malik on 10/23/13 at 03:09 AM ET
Comments (1)
The Detroit Red Wings face off against the Ottawa Senators tonight (7:30 PM, FSD/TSN/97.1 FM, and this game is one of all of 2 on the NHL schedule for Wednedsay, so everybody who's not watching the Bruins-Sabres game will be weighing in on this one) hoping to snap a two-game winless streak and make something ouf their 3-game home stand, which began with a 1-0 shootout loss to San Jose (and a difficult loss to Phoenix last Saturday).
In all honesty, if we're not talking about the whole Daniel Alfredsson Reunion Game storyline, which has resulted in oodles of "exclusives" and some honest-to-goodness good reads about Alfredsson's decision to leave Ottawa, as well as his superb fit with and comfort level as a member of the Detroit Red Wings...
I'm still trying to get a bead on the Senators as an "opponent."

If you're not into Senators-Alfredsson reunion stuff, if you missed this afternoon's practice post or the news about Jonathan Ericsson being out for 3 weeks, I've got some a) new news and b) repetition.
The new stuff starts with Niklas Kronwall speaking with 97.1 FM's Jeff Riger (via RedWingsFeed) about Cody McLeod's 5-game suspension:

About The Malik Report
The Malik Report is a destination for all things Red Wings-related. I offer biased, perhaps unprofessional-at-times and verbose coverage of my favorite team, their prospects and developmental affiliates. I've joined the Kukla's Korner family with five years of blogging under my belt, and I hope you'll find almost everything you need to follow your Red Wings at a place where all opinions are created equal and we're all friends, talking about hockey and the team we love to follow.

That's the word. Or really, the only one I could grasp when thinking about how to describe this feminine shade. Its sheer finish lets your natural lip color show through, but it's still dressy enough to give you a subtly polished look—the kind that makes you feel pulled together before a meeting (but not the sort that elicits unwanted comments like, "Ooh! You put on lipstick!" from Bob in Accounting).
But really, it almost wouldn't matter if this lipstick was the color of sludge—I would have given it serious points just for its powdery-rose Lancôme fragrance. (All their lipsticks have it. If you're a rose lover, it's absolutely wonderful.)

It would need a storyline in my opinion, and an aim to it all rather than just the fun racing we get from the MK series. It's an intriguing idea, but I doubt it'll ever happen. #7.1

Like I speculated, I'm unsure whether they even will. It's not like it can be used for every person, but then again Nintendo could come along and surprise us! :) #2.1

hi im brittany
Also I have two little boys, which my oldest starts school this coming new school year. And I'm not sure how my two year old will handle this change. Anyone else been through something like this.
Hi :)
I'm sorry to hear about that company. That really stinks :(
When my oldest was getting ready to go to kindergarten, I really started talking it up with both boys. The first day of school, we took my son to school and then my youngest (at the time) and I had a mom and son day. It really helped him adjust. Good luck with the adjustment. I'm sure it will go better than you anticipate :)
Hi, welcome to the group. Definitely check out the Toddler and preschooler group, lots of great advice and ideas. What kind of scam was the job running?

Thousands have been participating in the protests, which began on Friday when police launched a pre-dawn raid against a sit-in protesting plans to uproot trees in Istanbul's main Taksim Square.
