Recently took this company to the financial ombudsman as they do not give you full details on the interest they take, or do they give you an end date in their contract.I was horrified when I did find out after 2 yrs with this company that it would run until 2030 that was on a £6000 debt paying £60 per month for 18 yrs !!!!!!

I would urge all people in debt to stay away from this company. Rude customer service and liars, they ensure when you call them they do not go into fees and charges. When I set up my plan I specifically requested that all correspondence was sent by email and ended up getting bombarded by letters through the post. They have ridiculous charges. Please read through reviews on here. I would not take to much notice of the good ones as they are debatable… Read Full Review

I was up to my eyeballs in debt that I had accumulated with various Banks, Credit Cards and Loan Companies. I turned to 123 Debt Solutions for help and they created a repayment plan and contacted the various Banks, Credit Cards and Loan Companies, and in most cases managed to freeze any interest payments. I had over 30k of debt and paid £250 a month to 123, as various debts were completed adjustments were made to the remainder. I am now debt free, and would readily recommend 123 Debt… Read Full Review

Had the misfortune of working for this company in 2013 for few months. You are told to lie about any fees just to get someone to sign up. Best piece of advise I could give to anyone thinking of allowing them access to your bank account is don't under any circumstances. Much better to get CCCS or Payplan to assist. Or better still do it yourself. Other than the 2 mentioned above which are free to use every other company will keep the first 2-3 monthly payments to themselves as a set up fee… Read Full Review

Thank you for writing this. I was signing up for it then at the end I said send me copy of contract I will read it over and call back to finish setting up if happy with terms. He said I had to set up payment first before they could send contract. Ummm NO I read a contract first before agreeing to sign anything and start up payment arrangements. That's where I said I will have to think about it and get back to you. I regret giving all my information though, social security number so they could look up my loans. I asked for amount owed though and it was close to what it said on my credit report I printed up recently. Not Happy. People praying off others that have a lot of school debt and drowning in it and looking for relief somehow only to get SCREWED! Not cool

I had a Debt Management Plan with 123 Debt Solutions for 2 years and I paid them £1,555.60 and they took £827.40 in their charges. One month my payment was late by two days and they charged me a £20.00 fee. For 6 months I reduced my payment down to £50.00 a month because I had started a new job but they were still charging me a management fee of £30.50. Over half of my payment was charges.

I've only seen Crysis games have that bad of an AI for current gen games. She's not a paper weight because, again, enemies don't even target her.

It's pretty sad that all these years later and Capcom's fighting game AI was no better than it was in Street Fighter 2. Whether or not the AI blocks your attack is still totally random (rather than looking at whether or not that particular attack would be "hard" to block), they still repeat canned and frequently unsafe pressure strings if you play defensive, and the only challenge comes from their ability to DP you on one frame reaction. In most games, they AI can't even string together a proper combo if they do manage to open you up.
That being said, just because Capcom's AI is totally godawful doesn't mean everyone sucks. Super Smash Bros Brawl's AI is actually really impressive. In 2 on 2, the AI will string together team combos and do other fancy stuff that you can't do alone. The AI can even adjust to the fan-created hacks of Brawl and make use of moves and techniques that weren't in the original game.

What Godhand just ups the damage and enemies attack more often when you level up from doing good. They don't learn from you, they don't react to you they're reacting to the Level up. Its good fun but no where near an AI marvel.

They only change to leveling up, and once again they only attack more. Its not like if you keep using his charged uppercut when they block they'll suddenly dodge it. It's like saying changing difficulty mid-game is dynamic A.I. God Hand's A.I is preset to level 1,2 and 3. They hit harder, and SOME (mostly just the samurai guys and big fighter dude) attack more often.

Skip to comments.What Really Happened on AirTrans Flight 297?
Posted on 12/03/2009 7:15:46 AM PST by Sequoyah101
This squib appeared on the KHOU website on November 18 but is seems to be only a fraction of the story. Read the comments below the story please.
ATLANTA -- AirTran Airways says a flight from Atlanta to Houston with more than 70 passengers on board was delayed when a passenger refused to end a cell phone call.
... Flight 297, a Boeing 717, was taxiing on the runway in Atlanta Tuesday afternoon when a crew member asked a passenger to turn off his phone.
... after several failed attempts by the crew member to end the conversation, the captain returned the plane to the gate.
... the passenger complied when he was asked to get off the plane. He says no charges were filed, and that the plane departed for Houston 2 ½ hours later.
(Excerpt) Read more at khou.com ...
Can anyone corroborate the story provided in the commentary (which I include here to preserve it)?
If this is true it is serious and deserves to be reported more thoroughly.
"One week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father. On Tuesday, November the 17th, I returned home. If you read the papers the 18th you may have seen a blurb where a AirTran flight was cancelled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who refused to get off of his cell phone before takeoff. It was on Fox.
The above is NOT the whole story!
I was in 1st class coming home. 11 Muslim men got on the plane in full attire. 2 sat in 1st class and the rest peppered themselves throughout the plane all the way to the back. As the plane taxied to the runway the stewardesses gave the safety spiel we are all so familiar with. At that time, one of the men got on his cell and called one of his companions in the back and proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very aggressively. This took the 1st stewardess out of the picture for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at the time. He ignored her as if she was not there.
The 2nd man who answered the phone did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. In the back of the plane at this time, 2 younger Muslims, one in the back, isle, and one in front of him, window, began to show footage of a porno they had taped the night before, and were very loud about it. The 3rd stewardess informed them that they were not to have electronic devices on at this time. To which one of the men said shut up infidel dog! She went to take the camcorder and he began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that exact moment, all 11 of them got up and started to walk the cabin. This is where I had had enough! I got up and started to the back where I heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size say I got your back. I grabbed the man who had been on the phone by the arm and said you WILL go sit down or you Will be thrown from this plane! As I led him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed out with him. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said, You WILL do the same! He protested but adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go. As I escorted him forward the plane doors open and 3 TSA agents and 4 police officers entered. Me and my new Texan friend were told to cease and desist for they had this under control. I was happy to oblige actually. There was some commotion in the back, but within moments, all 11 were escorted off the plane. They then unloaded their luggage.
We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happen, when suddenly, the door open again and on walked all 11!! Stone faced, eyes front and robotic (the only way I can describe it). The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw this, she was having NONE of it! Being that I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agent there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with these men. The agent told her they had searched them and were going to go through their luggage with a fine tooth comb and that they were allowed to proceed to Houston. The captain and co-captain came out and told the agent we and our crew will not fly this plane! After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. 5 minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on.
Again ..this is where I had had enough!!! I got up and asked What the hell is going on!?!? I was told to take my seat. They were sorry for the delay and I would be home shortly. I said Im getting off this plane. The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. (now Im mad!) I said I am a grown man who bought this ticket, whos time is mine with a family at home and I am going through that door, or Im going through that door with you under my arm!! But I am going through that door!! And I heard a voice behind me say so am I. Then everyone behind us started to get up and say the same. Within 2 minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met with more agents who asked me to write a statement. I had 5 hours to kill at this point so why the hell not. Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was cancelled. I was supposed to be in Houston at 6pm. I got here at 12:30 am.
Look up the date. Flight 297 Atlanta to Houston. Fox did report only the delay caused by cell phone on November 18th.
If this wasnt a dry run, I dont know what one is. They wanted to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how the passengers would handle it.
Im telling this to you because I want you to know."
Sounds very internetty.
Sounds internetty to me, too. Reminds me of the story from a few years back by Annie Jacobson.
Sure does.
White says that after several failed attempts by the crew member to end the conversation, the captain returned the plane to the gate.
White says the passenger complied when he was asked to get off the plane. He says no charges were filed, and that the plane departed for Houston 2 ½ hours later.
It took 2 ½ hours for a plane to taxi back to a gate, remove a passenger, then takeoff?
Even accounting for having to replace lost fuel due to excessive taxiing, and losing a takeoff slot, 2 ½ hours seems like an awfully long delay for one guy.
Hmmmm...."internetty"....nice new term there, yours? I like it, and I agree.
Sounds like a total crock of shyte. The Muzzies have shown that they know how to adapt and they know that the days of passive hijackings are over. It's like Ray Liotta said in goodfellas when the cops surrounded his car: "I knew right away it wasn't the mob. If it was they wouldn't make a sound and I'd be dead."
Is this your statement or something you received by e-mail?
Between the joke of airport security and the PC nature of our leadership, I could see this happening. We most likely have not been hit again because the camel jockeys have not tried.
Also sounds very plausible.
If the official story is true I'm flummoxed that no charges were filed when someone caused a plane to return to the gate AND BE DELAYED 2.5 hours. The cell phone caller should be charged the cost of the delay at the least.
You mean, "internutty." Probably. It almost sounds like a re-hash (with changes) of the real-world occurrence with 9 imams who have since sued (through CARE) the airlines. Don't know if that is still on-going.
Maybe this article is a hoax?

Security incident aboard AirTran Flight 297 suggests terror Dry Run

By Doug Hagmann Thursday, December 3, 2009
On November 17, an incident took place aboard AirTran Flight 297 scheduled to fly from Atlanta Hartsfield Airport to Houston that the media does not want to cover and everyone from the airline to the TSA and other government agencies want to keep very quiet. The reasons, I have been told, is fear of predatory lawsuits, negative publicity from accusations of religious profiling, and the obligatory subjugation to mindless mandatory Muslim sensitivity training that make a mockery of our American system of values. Interestingly, one airline official told me we dont want to become another flight 300, which is a reference to a very similar scenario that took place aboard US Airways Flight 300 exactly three years ago.
I was first contacted about this incident two days after it happened by a passenger who was aboard AirTran Flight 297. Based on the allegations made by this passenger, we conducted additional research, interviews and investigation, all of which takes time to insure accuracy, and are now able to release our report of the incident that took place aboard that aircraft. Be prepared to be shocked, angered, and perhaps saddened by our national and corporate acquiescence to mafia-type tactics by Islamists who are engaged in a full frontal assault, and laughing about it.
Unsurprisingly, the facts we developed during the course of our investigation are inconsistent with those being reported in the media, despite the media having the responsibility to report the truth.
The incident
a group of thirteen men dressed in traditional Muslim attire were among 73 passengers who boarded AirTran Flight 297 on Tuesday, 17 November 2009, a routine flight scheduled to depart Atlanta Hartsfield Airport, gate C-16 at 4:43 PM ET to Houston Hobby Airport. Reports developed by this investigator found two witnesses who observed direct interaction among all of these Muslim men at the terminal.
As the passengers boarded the aircraft, two of the Muslim men took seats in first class, while the remaining eleven were seated throughout the remaining rows of the aircraft. Most had carrying-on bags that they stowed in the overhead compartments above their seats.
In my text I note that the source of the eye witness account is the comment filed below the article.
Note that this has also appeared in the Dallas Morning News and posted to FP today (it did not show up in my keyword search made before my post)
While this may be going viral so do rumors. I am simply asking if anyone here knows anything.
I don't know if this is a trustworthy account, but FWIW, this person says they interviewed passengers etc.:
Oops, you beat me!
I have a milder but similar story that I too thought was a test. My wife and I were flying home from Orlando in first class. A young muslim couple got on, also in first class, with two boys, and they sat behind us. I thought this a little odd because you don't normally see a young family like this paying for 4 first class seats.
Everything went normally up to the plane taxiing on the runway out to the takeoff point. About halfway out, the woman muslim rang the call button and told the flight attendant that one of her boys was running a high fever and she wanted to return to the gate. So we did.
Now I thought it odd that she would take the kid's temperature at that point in time. If the kid was that sick, why did they get on the plane in the first place?
Anyway, they all got off at which point I called the flight attendant and told him that I wanted off unless they took that family's luggage off too.
He said," that's a good idea", so we waited while they did that. Apparently that might have been the test part. They wanted to see if the bags got removed.
Now I don't know what the baggage rules are or if my comment was the motivator for the removal, but I didn't feel comfortable flying with them on board.
Wow, I would think they would automatically remove baggage for people who get off the plane before takeoff.
I cannot see the plane waiting for the muslims' search given aggressive passenger behavior which clearly eclipsed the standard of the lawsuit some airline recently lost about praying muslims thrown off.
Read this as well.
I don't know if this story is true, but it's amazing how quick many people are to pooh pooh this stuff. How many people see something suspicious but keep their mouths shut because they think they will just be called nutcases?
The equipment for this flight is a Boeing 717. There are at least two floor plans for the B-717: A one-class layout, and a two-class layout. The two class layout shows 8 "high class" seats (two rows) in the forward cabin, followed by a bulkhead, followed by the coach section. Attempting to book a seat on this flight at airtran-dot-com gave me the choice of coach class or business class. So AirTran seems to use the two-class layout. This is consistent with the story.
Arabs, particularly the traditional ones, become very strange in groups. It's a pack-mentality. I was on a flight outside of US where similar things happened. A few of the group were making outrageous demands / were out of control, and the polite Asian stewardesses were simply out of their depth dealing with those thugs. One of the group was clearly the "alpha male" and the others with him therefore seemed required to follow him. It didn't get resolved until armed security showed up on the plane.
Yeah, the response here surprises me as well. The story seems to be becoming corroborated. I asked my notifying source where it came from and have not heard back but his contacts spread pretty far and I would not be surprised to know he or someone he knows, knows someone on the flight.
There were 5 crew and 73 - ll = 71 non-arab passengers on the flight who know at least some of what actually happened.
IMO authorities are so prone to seeking prosecution of the right doers (seals, marines, etc.) and we have become so politically correct and so self-conscious about being sued by someone for something that we have become silent. How would you like to have CAIR suing you on behalf of some raghead for some perceived offense. Who knows, someone may have gotten a busted lip?
We have become paralyzed by our new version of freedom, equality, rights and whatever to the point we can't protect ourselves and the enemy is laughing at us.
I call BS
Thanks for posting the real story.
Whether this incident is true or not is not the point. With the Ft. Hood shootings it is obvious that political correctness and a pre 9-11 mentality by the administration will allow a major terrorist incident to occur in the not too distant future. Maybe then we will wake up to the threat within our own borders.
*ping* - already posted over here
Here is how I feel about these types of stories.... Man up and kick the ever living shit out of any towel head who dares to act up on your flight. Beat him, her and whoever else they are with. If I am on your flight, you can bet that I will assist you if you act before I do.
I'm not saying it happened just so. But I can't find any technical flaws in the tale.
It would be a pleasure to pound on them with you.
I wonder if any of them have anything to say.
Here's my thread from last night. Interesting comments.
Good! I'll do it on my own, but I am glad there is another American out there who does not give a crap about how the liberal pc crowd would react.
Don't tread on me!
Remember the Alamo!
I don't think so. I got an e-mail at my home with the whole story above yesterday and I was told that the person relating the story who was there is actually a freeper in good standing. No, I think it's a probe and our complacence is about to be tested. While the airline industry remains at threat level Orange and the rest of us are supposedly on Yellow, the reality is we've pretty much all sunk back to pre-911 levels of readiness. We're facing a deadly enemy and he learns from the past (unlike us).
Notice the new arrangement of attackers. Before there were 3 to 5 attackers and they tended to congregate closer together. Now they've upped the number to eleven and placed them strategically and tactically throughout the aircraft. They KNOW that it's almost certain we'll fight back. For them, it's okay. They'll just respond in kind. I suspect they (AQ) may be having more difficulty in securing a nuke to use on us and the airplane attack offers the same bang for the buck, especially if you seize more planes with more high density (in terms of population) targets. They could go after huge malls in the height of the holiday shopping season. They could target the bowl games and I have a thousand ideas but I'd rather not give them any more hints. I'm sure they lurk here on FR.
As for calling BS or referring to it as being ummm internetty, I would remind those folks that the 911 plot would also have been labeled such on September 10th 2001.
The curtain is not closed until after takeoff. Sometimes, it isn't closed at all.
Unsurprising. The airlines remember what happened the last time they tried that stuff. CAIR sued the crap outta them and won.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this matter; years ago I used to read your very interesting postings to TM, and I was very curious what your thoughts about this incident were - as your conclusions were typcial spot-on to my own.
Unfortunately we live in a target rich environment throughout our entire nation, and this already target-rich environment is geometrically multiplied & many times magnified due to the general complacency of the "NON-PARANOID" couch potato public.
It was a setup for another lawsuit and even more...
"they're always picking on Muslims"...
publicity, IMO.
I think this very well could have happened. As crippled by PC as America is, the airline could have hushed it all up.
I think this very well could have happened. As crippled by PC as America is, the airline could have hushed it all up.
One thing that has me thinking on this. The plane was a relatively small Boeing 717 - a 100 pax DC-9 equivalent, just about a step up from a commuter jet. 11 jihadi for a much smaller jet (and bang).
Second thing, if this was a dry run, the overt attention they received should have tipped off TSA (provided there are some who are competent there) and alertness increased. If I was a jihadi thinking about using the tactic, I'd think twice given the crew and passenger response. I would have expected a more subtle attempt, not one to draw attention the way they did - it just sends flags up all over the place.
Didn't they settle out of court for an undisclosed settlement?
My friend personally spoke with Mr. Hackamack over the phone and by email yesterday and this appears to be legitimate. Mr. Hackamack also mentioned that his friend Mr. Petruna has since lost his job with NASA.
Hackamack, Petruna, NASA?
Where were these mentioned?
It will be interesting to see if anyone else steps forward. Of course, maybe they're afraid of a lawsuit.

One bottle of Jagermeister was all it took to give birth to Amarillo's top '80s cover band.
"It was my first black-out experience," keyboardist Chris Crowley said when recalling (or trying to) the earliest days of The Cassettes.
The band performs at 10 p.m. Friday at Skooterz, 4100 Bushland Blvd.
Crowley was key to getting the band going, founder and bass player Bobby McCauley said, citing the heavy use of synthesizers in the decade.
"This guy, I think I can sucker him into this," McCauley said, recalling his reaction after starting to perform with Crowley in another Amarillo band, The Solano Project.
"We got maybe a little tipsy, and he thought it sounded like a great idea," McCauley said.
The good times haven't stopped in the band's nearly two-year history. Now a four-piece with Roger McGallian on drums and Dave Freyer on guitar, the band relies on tried-and-true '80s hits.
"I've described the band to be that we take out all the filler (songs) and be all killer," McCauley said.
It took a while to get the set list pared down to just the top hits like "Don't Stop Believing," "Jesse's Girl," "Hungry Like the Wolf" and more.
"We started with something like 300 songs and whittled it down," McCauley said.
"You realize that I learned every one of those?" McGallian interjected.
"You did?" McCauley asked incredulously.
"No," McGallian said. "Sucker."
Each of the four players is in his 40s: "I've never been in a band that plays the music I grew up with," said Freyer, 43.
But the songs' familiarity doesn't make them any easier to play.
"It really surprises me how tough some of the songs are," said McCauley, 40. "They're not all as cheeseball as I thought."
Still awaiting its stage debut: The band's version of Madness' "Our House."
"I think one time we got it right," said Crowley, 47.
And some songs — like the catalog of Def Leppard, for instance — are off the playlist because they don't sound the same when performed live by a four-piece band.
"Some songs we got rid of because the way they were produced, we can't pull off," said McGallian, 41.
"If it doesn't sound right, we won't do it," McCauley said. "We're all pretty talented musicians."
All but McGallian, in fact, are active with other bands. The Cassettes, then, is just a side project — and a lucrative one, at that.
"It's for fun and extra money," McCauley said. "Let's call it what it is — a good payday."

Best of 2014: Here's what's making news in the Rockwall-Rowlett-Heath communities
Photo: Rose Baca/neighborsgo staff photographer
When Reinhardt Elementary PE teacher Jamie Foster was pregnant, she was diagnosed with HELLP syndrome, which is a rare, life-threatening condition that less than one percent of women develop. Her son, Jamison, had to be delivered via emergency C-section on March 31, 2013. He weighed just one pound and 13 ounces. The staff at Reinhardt Elementary secretly coordinated a fundraising effort by selling "Reinhardt Fosters Love" shirts.

Harvard astrophysicist: Sunspot activity correlates to global climate change
April 10, 2009 - 13:12
Rick C. Hodgin
Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Willie Soon tells us that Earth has seen a reduced level of sunspot activity for the past 18 months, and is currently at the lowest levels seen in almost a century. Dr. Soon says "The sun is just slightly dimmer and has been for about the last 18 months. And that is because there are very few sunspots." He says when the sun has less sunspots, it gives off less energy, and the Earth tends to cool. He notes 2008 was a cold year for this very reason, and that 2009 may be cold for the same.

According to Hindu mythology, Mahishasura was a combination of both an Asura and a Mahisha (aurochs) with trident. He intended to annihilate all the Devas since they were the arch-enemies of Asuras. The legend of Mahishasura is important in Hindu mythology since the goddess Durga was born in order to slay him. Therefore, his story is an important part of shaktiism which venerates the goddess Durga.
The mythology of Mahishasura[edit]
Rambha, the king of Asuras was enticed with the beauty of a she-buffalo. Eventually he married her. Out of this bestiality union, was born a child which was half buffalo and half human. This child was named Mahishasura (Mahisha literally means buffalo). Mahishasura, being an Asura wanted to wage war against their arch-enemies, the Devas; to make himself invincible, he performed a tapas to Brahma and requested that he be granted immortality. Brahma refused him the boon of immortality and instead gave him a boon such that his death will happen only at the hands of a woman. Mahishasura considered himself immortal since he felt that it was impossible for a woman to slay a person of his strength.[1] Thus with this belief, Mahishasura started a war with the Devas and a battle took place. The Devas led by the Indra were defeated. The Devas requested the trinity of Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu requesting help, subsequently they combined their thejas and created a woman. The Goddess thus created was Durga and she eventually led a battle against Mahishasura and killed him, thus fulfilling the prophecy that he would meet his death at the hands of a woman.
Mahishasura in Art[edit]
Durga slaying Mahishasura is a prominent theme which was sculpted in various caves and temples across India. Some of the prominent representations are seen at the Mahishasuramardini caves in Mahabalipram, the Ellora caves, in the entrance of Rani ki vav[2] Hoysaleswara Temple in Halebidu and many more temples across India.
The worship of Durga during Durga puja in West Bengal is done to the idols of Durga which depict Durga killing Mahishasura.
Mahishasura and Mysore[edit]
The popular legend is that Mysuru gets its name from Goddess Durga, Mahishasura Mardini. It is believed that the people of this region were saved from the Buffalo Demon Mahishasura who had come from bottom South and occupied the land. This is when people prayed to Goddess Durga for help and she descended during a sacred period which is now called Navratri and Dushera. Thus, the Nine days battle took place on the Chamundi Hills where he was slayed at last.[3] Hence, the Dusshera festival is the biggest festival and this is also called Nada Habba which means, the State Festival in Kannada and is famously known as Mysore Dasara. The temple of the city's guardian deity, Chamunda has a giant statue of Mahishasura. In Sanskrit Mahisha means a buffalo. There is a popular story to substantiate the association of a buffalo demon slayer with the city's name. The earliest mention of Mysore in recorded history may be traced to 245 B.C., i.e., to the period of Ashoka when on the conclusion of the third Buddhist convocation, a team was dispatched to Mahisha mandala, the region that was once occupied by the demon, for propagating Buddhism, which also emphasises its association with buffaloes.[4]
Mahishi (Mahishasura's Sister)[edit]
In Kerala, there exists a parallel mythology according to which, Mahishasura had a sister by the name of Mahishi. After the death of Mahishasura, Mahishi continued the war against Devas.

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

Use these ideas as suggestions for additional testing and measurement
apparatus and for techniques that could be employed for constructing suit
1. Suit Arm and Leg Bending Tester
2. Field of Vision Tester for Helmet Vision Design Determine
how much visibility is needed for a space suit helmet by measuring
the field of vision of students. Two different ways for doing this
are shown.
3. Connector Seal Test Place Martian sediment simulant or
other dry sandy sediment in the jar. Place plastic tape over the
zone where the lid comes together with the jar. Shake the jar several
hundred times and then remove the tape to see if any sediment made
its way
through the jar and lid threads to stick to the tape.
4. Tethers
5. Weightlifting Research an exercise routine that can be used
to strengthen the upper body. This is the area of the body that
receives the greatest workout during a spacewalk in Earth orbit.
Design exercises for strengthening the lower torso and for planetary
surface exploration.
8. Visor Light Transmission Tester Connect a solar cell to a
potentiometer and a millammeter. These items are available from
an electronic parts store. Adjust the potentiometer so a light source
you are measuring does not drive the needle off the scale. Place
potential space helmet visor material between the light source and
the solar cell to evaluate the material's light-filtering properties.
7. Measurements for Space Helmet
8. Paper Maché Space Helmet Inflate a large round balloon
to a diameter greater than student heads. Cover the balloon with
four layers of paper maché. Paper maché can be made
with newspaper strips and a 50/50 solution of white glue and water
or with premixed wallpaper paste. Let each layer dry before applying
the next one. When completely dry, deflate and remove the balloon
and cut appropriate holes with a scissors. Paint as desired.
9. Vacuum Experiment - 1 Obtain an electric doorbell, push button,
and doorbell transformer. Insert the wires to the doorbell through
a single-hole rubber stopper. The stopper should fit the upper hole
in the bell jar. Fill the rest of the stopper hole with hot glue
from a hot-glue gun to seal the wires in place. Evacuate the bell
jar and ring the doorbell. While holding the button, gradually let
air back into the jar. The bell cannot be heard ringing when the
jar is evacuated even though the clapper can be seen to be moving.
This demonstration explains why spacesuits have two-way radios.
Sound is not conducted through a vacuum.
10. Vacuum Experiment - 2 Construct a marshmallow astronaut
out of regular size and mini marshmallows and toothpicks. Evacuate
the bell jar and observe how the marshmallows expand. Living tissue
will also inflate in a vacuum because of gas bubbles forming in
the fluids of cells.Note: The vacuum pump, vacuum plate, and bell
jar needed for the activities on this page are common pieces of
science equipment found in many junior and senior high schools.
This equipment is available from school science supply catalogs
11. Vacuum Experiment - 3 Show how fluids like water boil when
they are exposed to a vacuum. Place water in a beaker and evacuate
the bell jar. The demonstration will take place more rapidly if
warm water is used. Place a thermometer in the beaker to record
the boiling temperature.
12. Torque Place a student on a swivel office chair or on a
rotating platform like a child's Sit and Spin®. Have two other
students hold a 2 by 4, with a bolt partially screwed into it, over
the first student. The first student will find it difficult to turn
the bolt with a wrench without spinning as well. Relate this to
the challenges astronauts have on spacewalks when they try to do
a similar job. To turn a bolt or move some massive object in space,
an astronaut is attached to a stable work platform.
13. Underwater Training If a swimming pool is available, practice
underwater EVA training. Have students wear a dive mask and assemble
PVC water pipe parts underwater. Make a weighted panel that has
bolts protruding from it. Use a chrome steel wrench to try to turn
the bolts while free floating in the water. Make tools appear weightless
by attaching a string to the handles and to empty two liter soft
drink bottles. Invite a local SCUBA shop to participate in the activity.
The shop owners might be willing to supply dive equipment and serve
as safety divers during the simulation.
14. Neutral Buoyancy Astronauts simulate microgravity for spacesuit
training in a deep swimming pool. Their spacesuits are specially
weighted to produce neutral buoyancy. You can investigate neutral
buoyancy by creating a small submarine out of a plastic film canister,
aquarium tubing, pennies, and hot glue. Punch tow holes at the base
of the canister and a hole in the lid. Hot glue the end of the aquarium
tube into the hole in the lid. Add several pennies to the canister
so that when you place it in a water-filled aquarium, the canister
just floats. Suck air out of the tube to cause the canister to sink.
Try to get the canister to hover half way from the bottom to the
15. Neutral Buoyancy - 2 Neutral buoyancy can also be investigated
with a Cartesian diver. Fill a plastic soft drink bottle with water.
Insert an eyedropper that is partially filled with water. Cap the
bottle and squeeze the bottle's sides to increase the pressure in
the bottle. The trapped air in the eyedropper will compress and
the eye dropper will sink. Try to get the eyedropper to hover midway
in the bottle.
16. Design A Tool Have students design and construct a prototype
multipurpose tool for use on spacewalks. The tool should combine
the functions of single purpose tools such as hammers, screw drivers,
wrenches, etc. The tool should also make provisions for attatchment
to tethers and easy gripping
17. Glove Work Use rubber-coated work gloves from a hardware
store to demonstrate the importance of spacesuit gloves that are
comfortable to wear. Have students attempt to screw a bolt into
a nut or assemble plastic snap toys into a structure. Discuss how
these gloves can be improved to make them easier to use.

WBX Exchange Review — Rated 7.1 of 10 based on 16 ratings.
WBX Exchange Review
WBX were a betting exchange, in the same sense as Betfair and Betdaq, but they have now ceased to operate unfortunately.
Who were WBX Exchange?
WBX (World Bet Exchange) were a unique type of online bookmakers in the sense that they act as a broker and the bets are person to person and on a first come first serve basis. WBX does not contribute any money to the exchange, they simply act as a mediator and make sure all bets are paid and everything runs smoothly among the members. These online bookmakers only charge a commission on the winnings, as a percentage, which is based on the maximum market rate.

Walker a shoo-in for Kent
Matthew Walker has signed an extension to his contract with Kent which takes him to the end of the 2008 season.
The 32-year-old scored 1,419 Liverpool Victoria County Championship runs at an average of just under 62 in 2006, including a top score of 197.
Walker said: "I am delighted to be continuing my career with the county. I have been pleased with my performance this season and was honoured to have been voted as player of the year again by the supporters.
"I have enjoyed playing under Rob Key this season and feel we have a squad of players who can do really well over the next few seasons. I look forward to playing for the club in many years to come."
Paul Millman, Kent's chief executive, added: "Matthew has just finished his best ever season for the club.
"He remains an integral and popular member of our playing squad both on and off the field and I am sure he will continue to play an important role in Kent cricket."

Looking for the free body diagram plus everything input into the equations below, they are confusing to me and I cannot get the right calculations

A string is tied across a stand and attached to a gold (pau = 19320 kg/m3) cube that is fully submerged in ethyl alcohol (p = 806 kg/m3). The gold cube has side length of 6 cm.
a.) Draw a free body diagram for the gold cube.
b.) What is the mass of the gold cube?
c.) What is the weight of the gold cube?
d.) What is the buoyant force on the gold cube?
e.) What is the tension on the string?
f.) If a spring scale is attached to the gold cube instead of the string, what would the spring scale read when the gold cube is completely submerged in the ethyl alcohol?

a(
b) M=D*V=D*6*6e-2^2=417.3(kg).
c) M*g=P=4090(N)
d)Fa=V*D_ethyl*g=17.4(N).
e)T+17.4=4090
so T=4073(N).

Bee Gees singer and bassist Maurice Gibb, 53, died after suffering a heart attack while preparing to undergo abdominal surgery to remove an intestinal blockage, his family said on Sunday.
On Thursday, Gibb had collapsed in his Miami home and was rushed to the hospital after complaining of stomach pains.
He "experienced cardiac arrest" before his surgery, according to a statement released to Reuters by Miami's Mount Sinai Medical Center, where Gibb was listed in critical condition from the time of his heart attack until his death.
"His love, enthusiasm and energy for life remain an inspiration to all of us," his family said in a statement.
A hospital spokeswoman, Kathleen Dorkowski, confirmed Gibb's death but would furnish no further details. The time of death appears to have been late Saturday or early Sunday, said the news service.
The British-born Gibb brothers formed the Bee Gees as youngsters in 1958 in Brisbane, Australia. The group hit the height of its fame with the soundtrack to the 1977 John Travolta movie "Saturday Night Fever," featuring the hits "Stayin' Alive," "More Than a Woman," and "How Deep Is Your Love."
The group included Maurice, his twin brother Robin and older brother Barry. The youngest brother, Andy, died of a heart attack in 1988 at the age of 30, following years of alcohol and drug problems.
Gibb's wife, Yvonne, and two children survive him.

Fire damages Girard Township business complex
GIRARD -- Investigators are probing the cause of a fire that damaged a portion of a Girard Township business complex on Thursday morning.
Crews from the A.F. Dobler Hose & Ladder Co. in Girard and five neighboring volunteer departments were sent to the Girard Industrial Properties complex at 9014 Tannery Road to investigate a fire alarm shortly after 9:30 a.m. and found fire in a large red building at the west side of the complex.
The fire was contained to a first-floor room on the west side of the building, but other portions of the first and second floors sustained smoke damage, a Girard firefighter said.
A worker inside the building suffered a burn to the hand.
No firefighters were injured, officials said.
Crews stayed on the scene until about 12:45 p.m.
