of you with "real" computers). Adobe .PDF , Quicktime (.MOV)
and .MPV are also linked there.
FAA version (from BDR FSS)
Note (6K) given by kid to a Qantas f/a depicts what flying's all about.
- Download a bunch of phone numbers
- This is in PalmPilot .aba and in comma separate text formats.
- Download M20C Flight Manual - (not especially interesting unless you fly one)
- Flight Videos
- So far we only have a few, starting with the first video of a Mooney on the web ("Dude's" plane) flying over Straits of Juan de Fuca, near Sequim, WA (9MB) and an approach and landing from the cockpit of N252AK. These are at www.aviating.com/mooney/video/ and require a (free or shareware) driver. (If the videos don't go up on aviating.com, I'll put them here on scn.org)
- Mooney Email List courtesy Doug Fields and Akmal Kahn, whose efforts are appreciated by many of us.
- search Mooney Email list
- With over 20,000 messages, find just about anything from speed mods to convert a Mooney to an inverted Cessna 210 to tail mods (search "mangled")
- The search engine linked with a lot of custom software, some written for SGI processors. So it may be down for a while.
- Doug Field's Mooney Homepage - http://www.311wc.com/ (probably a dead link) - Doug started the Mooney Email list, but has sold his plane.
- www.rifkin.com Alan Rifkin's Mooney links.
- www.2pi.com Les Niles' page

- Aircraft weight & balance:
- This is an old shareware spreadsheet, generally considered to be obsolete. It is useful for the purpose of weight & balance calculations on aircraft, and can be kept on one disk with its data. Pilots calculate w&b when when the load configuration is not obviously within limits. Some aircraft have sliding scales for max. weight, making a spreadsheet particularly useful. note Some people have been questioned about w&b calculations on ramp checks. 'Typical' loading charts should be acceptable, but what robocop is going to question a floppy?
Download EZ-Spreadsheet, (taken from version A.13, 1987) 52K.
A newer version is also available (with several beg screens on the shareware), but I prefer the older version for my purposes.

- Akmal's Kahn's FAA test preps and flight planner at Mooney Junction
- He has test preps for Private, Instrument and Commercial, but you need the written version for the charts (but an old version will do!) It has a nice 'nag' feature for questions you missed. Keep the zip file for repeat reviews. If you use PkUnzip instead of Winzip, you need to insert the long filenames manually.

I never know where to start off my blogs. I have great ideas and then I try to mix them together and it becomes a mess. Id like to start off with an apology to my readers. The truth is, I rely too much on spellcheck, and because 1up doesn't have spellcheck I noticed I'm misspelling quite a few words...sorry! I've never been amazing at spelling. Not that it is that hard or anything, just I consume my brain space with idk 924929032 other things.
So I'm returning to the US soon. I haven't been home for over a year. I'm very excited for food though! Fatness here I come. I studied abroad for a year in Japan and spent my summer in Germany and I'm very sad to leave Germany. Also I hate chicago customs. I always get pulled over for being suspicious. Pshhh yeah pale black haired girl= suspicious...yep. They seriously spend hours going through my bags and interrogating me. Not fun at all.
For music, Plazma's mystery (which I mentioned in my last blog) is still my favorite song atm. I'm guessing it will consume much of my plane time ontop of my dsi of course :). I am however obsessed with Radu as well. Radu is one of the ex-members of ozone, you know the mai-----hii numa numa song? Yeah, while everyone may hate that song I <3 it and I <3 most of Radu's solo stuff. He just became a producer recently and I really like his stuff. He even sings in one song :). I'll link it for you all.His stuff goes under the name DJ Layla. Not sure if any of you have heard. It has been big in the euro charts here :). The videos are lame for all these songs, but the songs are good anyways :)
1) Dj Layla -City of sleeping hearts
2nd) Dj Layla- Single lady (if all the dancing guys bother you ...you can search a version that isn't the official :))
3rd) Dj Layla- Planet mars
If you didn't like the first one I'm guessing you wont like the other 2. The first one is the best because radu sings in it! Yeah I'm a radu fangirl, can't help it :).
So I find myself making fussion lists in shin megami tensei strange journey lately. Does anyone else do this? I literally have around 5 pages of demon combinations atm.Here is an image of what I'm talking about.
Does anyone else find themselves doing this? Seriously old school, but since the game makes you be chaotic, neutral of holy I find it important for me to write down the best fussion combinations, or I'll forget since I'm 129+60-100+54+9-130 anyways. Suffering major memory loss! Hope the image html is working. Bah I'm forgetting all of this from my 3 year hiatus.
Guess if I'm on the plane doing demon fussion calculation on my paper my neighbor will think I'm bonkers. Doesn't matter though! So I wish before flights you could get a poll if you smoke/drink, because I hate getting stuck next to people on 12-16 hour flights who are either completely drunk or smell like a bar. I know its economy so I can't be picky, but seriously.
In Nostalgia I'm finally in new york now. I love how the game changes music for each city. The russian st petersburg is definitely my favorite, but the new york jazz is cool too.
I'm also playing puzzle quest 2, but it feels like a chore for me atm. I'm missing puzzle chronicles. That game was so much fun. So why am I continuing puzzle quest 2? Because I need to beat every game I play. thats how I am.
On a random note I saw my first scientology church in hamburg yesterday. Very random I know.
Hope you all have a great time while I enjoy chicago customs :)

it seams to be
Such a complicated ordeal
Stuffed full of emotions
Laughter and an smiles
To spend so much energy
Learning so much
What makes us
Moves us
Turns us on
To die
To dust
Too short
Learn more, forget less
Always smile, never frown
Talk more to more people
Meet strangers, learn their names
Turn off the radio and unplug yourself
Plug yourself in outside
To real people and real experience
Find one wild apple tree
And Climb it
Find one secret lake
And swim in it
Watch one sunset
Every night
Then wake up early
And watch it rise

I think this is so powerful. it says so much (to me anyways). and the single word 'love' as the punctuation on a great poem . . . wonderful! :)
donald miller wrote "we need to not question how but why". He said that the how is the small question and gets you a small distance, but 'why' is the question that will take you the farthest and teach you the most. I find when i ask why about something i get a hundred more why and no answers. But i also get the potential for a hundred more answers:)i think love is the best answer i have right now, and smile:)
Love is always the best answer, but that is often overlooked. This is such a hopeful piece. Made me smile.
i love this love poem ;) its very insightful and well written

Mass Disenrollment Hits the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Up to 1,000 members (nearly 20% of the membership) of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon will be receiving letters of potential disenrollment, resulting in what could be the largest termination of American Indian citizenship in United States history.
15 members of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde have already been disenrolled, and 79 cases are pending the outcome of hearings scheduled for December. These are the result of the second wave of disenrollment letters that were sent out in September. Tribal Council refuses to discuss the matter, with Tribal Councilman Toby McClary publicly stating that he did not want to disclose the details and incite panic within the membership.
The Grand Ronde Tribal Council's mass disenrollment efforts contribute to a national Indian disenrollment epidemic, with disenrollment "expanding throughout Native America, with Native nations in at least seventeen states engaging in this practice," according to leading tribal political scientist, David Wilkins (Indian Country Today).
Mass tribal disenrollments have broken out in Washington State and California and now Oregon (Seattle Times; New York Times).
The disenrollment proceedings stemmed from an illegal audit of the Tribe's membership rolls by an outside auditing firm based in New Mexico and include nine sets of parameters, including dual enrollment, lineal descent, blood quantum, adoption and paternity.
One of the families facing disenrollment are the descendants of Chief Tumulth, who was a signatory of the seminal 1855 Kalapuya Treaty (also known as the Treaty of the Willamette Valley and the Dayton Treaty). Tumulth was the first chief of the Watlala Band of Chinook Indians, or "Cascade Indians," whose ceded lands extended from Cascade Locks west to Ft. Vancouver on both sides of the Columbia River, following the Sandy River into Portland including Franz Lake National Wildlife Refuge in the Columbia Gorge.
"We are appalled that our own tribe, our own relatives, are claiming that we are some how no longer Grand Ronde. We descend directly from a tribal Chief, a man who signed the Treaty that would later establish the Grand Ronde Reservation," stated family spokesperson, Mia Prickett.
This all comes after Grand Ronde aggressively exploited Chief Tumulth's indigenous ties to the Columbia Gorge in efforts to fend off other Oregon tribes from engaging in traditional and commercial activities in the area.
"What my entire family is now facing is nothing short of cultural genocide," continued Prickett. "Grand Ronde was terminated by the federal government in the early 1950s. And now our own people are seeking to eliminate our tribal existence."
After President Ronald Reagan restored the Grand Ronde Reservation in 1983, Chief Tumulth's direct descendants applied for membership and were unanimously approved for Grand Ronde citizenship. By 1994, the 7thgeneration of Tumulth's family was enrolled as Grand Ronde members.
Now thirty years later, upon the eve of the 30thRestoration Celebration, the Grand Ronde Tribal Council seeks to disenroll the entire family. The Tribe has commissioned videos that run on a loop at Spirit Mountain Casino, in both the lobby and hotel rooms, which reference the family and Chief Tumulth. The family is also highlighted in several tribal publications that span from the Tribal Newsletter, Smoke Signals, to slicks on ceded lands and tribal history and even on informational brochures at Multnomah Falls.
Most recently, Grand Ronde received a prestigious award for conservation efforts in the Gorge, related to the Tribe's stewardship of Chief Tumulth's ceded lands. Present at this private gala was Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber and Portland Mayor Charlie Hales.
Chief Tumulth's direct descendants are involved with the tribe on several levels, including being members of the Canoe Family, teaching the tribal language Chinuk Wawa, and participating in ceremonies as drummers. Other family members include World War II Veteran, Lt. Colonel Carroll Grenia; Chuck Williams, published photographer and author of "Bridge of the Gods, Mountains of Fire"; Gorge conservationist Valerie Alexander; and Medical Doctor Lise Alexander.
"This isn't just about me and my family. This is about the other 900 tribal members who will find a letter of potential disenrollment in their mailbox. This is about all of us," concluded Prickett.

Mason McDonald
Charlottetown Islanders goalie Mason McDonald is the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's third star for March.
The 19-year-old Halifax native had four victories with a 2.23 goals-against average and a .945 save percentage. He made 40 or more saves twice during the month.
On Saturday he won his fifth consecutive game to close out the regular season.
The win also tied MacDonald for the P.E.I. Rocket/Charlottetown Islanders franchise record for all time regular season wins by a goalie. McDonald, who has been with the Islanders since Dec. 29, 2013, shares the record of 54 wins with Ryan Mior, who played for the Rocket from 2003 to 2007. Evan Mosher, who played for the Rocket from 2006 to 2011, is third with 50.
He has a 21-15-3-0 record this season with a 3.33 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage.
Rouyn-Noranda Huskies forward Timo Meier and Gatineau Olympiques defenceman Alexandre Carrier were the first and second stars, respectively.

Not long ago, I wrote a piece about General Electric's (NYSE: GE ) NBC Universal asset. It wasn't a happy one. The division has been the sore spot for GE -- NBC has had a challenging time in the ratings game, and as such, segment profit for NBC Universal for the latest quarterly period declined 10%. For the nine-month time frame, the decline was 9%.
But it looks like fortunes might be changing for the division. Earnings growth should be up next year, due to improved prospects for the network. According to an AP article, profits for NBC Universal should increase 5%. That's a nice reversal of the 4% decline that the segment will see in 2006.
This is great news for GE shareholders, of which I am one. You like to see all cylinders running efficiently -- having one that's a drag is, well, a drag. With NBC Universal pulling more of its weight, GE will have an easier time of delivering on its 2007 outlook, which calls for double-digit earnings expansion to fall somewhere between 10% and 13%.
It's always convenient to have your major broadcasting network on board the shareholder-value-enhancing train. I also own shares of Disney (NYSE: DIS ) , and I remember well when ABC was a dog. Once things bucked up at the alpha-net, Disney shareholders started to look forward to reports from the company's media segment. GE shareholders will do the same if the predictions hold. Indeed, many were wondering this year if GE should just sell the ailing unit. I for one think a content unit such as NBC Universal is important to the industrial conglomerate, considering that broadband technologies will only make entertainment libraries increasingly valuable over time.
So far, NBC is having success with shows such as Deal or No Deal and Heroes. The cable channels MSNBC and CNBC are also expected to be contributing players to the NBC Universal rebound; CEO Jeff Immelt was quoted as saying those two assets are "very strong" right now. CNBC certainly does have some entertaining programs and personalities on its lineup right now. Whether you like Jim Cramer and his Mad Money show or the trading showcase called Fast Money, there's a lot for the individual investor to enjoy on the platform.
Investors should nevertheless contain their enthusiasm on the outlook for NBC Universal. I certainly don't dispute any of this guidance, but it is of course contingent upon the ratings momentum remaining resilient -- the acceptance of content by viewers can peter out at a moment's notice (remember the ephemeral primetime phenomenon known as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?). CBS (NYSE: CBS ) and News Corp's (NYSE: NWS ) Fox will be battling it out in the next sweeps periods, and there's obviously no guarantee that NBC won't see ratings erosion. For now, though, NBC is poised to do much better in the broadcasting marketplace.
GE as a whole looks like a pretty good investment idea right now. It hasn't done much for investors' portfolios in recent times, but the company just raised its dividend by 12%. The current yield on the stock is roughly 3.2%. That is a rather compelling yield for a blue chip like GE. If NBC Universal gets its house in order and contributes to the company's overall growth, investors might be well rewarded down the line.

Beyond the Checklist: What Else Health Care Can Learn from Aviation Teamwork and Safety
Cornell University Press, 2012
Cloth: 978-0-8014-5160-7 | Paper: 978-0-8014-7829-1 | eISBN: 978-0-8014-6534-5
Library of Congress Classification R729.5.H4G67 2013
Dewey Decimal Classification 363.12/492
The U.S. healthcare system is now spending many millions of dollars to improve "patient safety" and "inter-professional practice." Nevertheless, an estimated 100,000 patients still succumb to preventable medical errors or infections every year. How can health care providers reduce the terrible financial and human toll of medical errors and injuries that harm rather than heal?
Beyond the Checklist argues that lives could be saved and patient care enhanced by adapting the relevant lessons of aviation safety and teamwork. In response to a series of human-error caused crashes, the airline industry developed the system of job training and information sharing known as Crew Resource Management (CRM). Under the new industry-wide system of CRM, pilots, flight attendants, and ground crews now communicate and cooperate in ways that have greatly reduced the hazards of commercial air travel.
The coauthors of this book sought out the aviation professionals who made this transformation possible. Beyond the Checklist gives us an inside look at CRM training and shows how airline staff interaction that once suffered from the same dysfunction that too often undermines real teamwork in health care today has dramatically improved. Drawing on the experience of doctors, nurses, medical educators, and administrators, this book demonstrates how CRM can be adapted, more widely and effectively, to health care delivery.
The authors provide case studies of three institutions that have successfully incorporated CRM-like principles into the fabric of their clinical culture by embracing practices that promote common patient safety knowledge and skills.They infuse this study with their own diverse experience and collaborative spirit: Patrick Mendenhall is a commercial airline pilot who teaches CRM; Suzanne Gordon is a nationally known health care journalist, training consultant, and speaker on issues related to nursing; and Bonnie Blair O'Connor is an ethnographer and medical educator who has spent more than two decades observing medical training and teamwork from the inside.
Suzanne Gordon is Visiting Professor at the University of Maryland School of Nursing and was program leader of the Robert Wood Johnson–funded Nurse Manager in Action Program. She is the author of Life Support and Nursing against the Odds, coauthor of Safety in Numbers and From Silence to Voice, editor of When Chicken Soup Isn't Enough, and coeditor of First, Do Less Harm and The Complexities of Care, all from Cornell.
Patrick Mendenhall is a Principal in Crew Resource Management LLC who is a pilot for a major commercial airline and belongs to the Air Line Pilots Association.
Bonnie Blair O'Connor is Professor of Pediatrics (Clinical) and Associate Director, Pediatric Residency, at Hasbro Children's Hospital/Alpert Medical School at Brown University.
"This is the fascinating story of the development and implementation of Crew Resource Management (CRM) in aviation and how it can and must be employed in health care. In spite of differences between aviation and health care, the similarities are more striking. Both are intrinsically hazardous endeavors, with complex technology, and dominated by one profession. Both developed a dysfunctional hierarchical culture that substantially increases risk for its customers and patients. Aviation has done something about it: CRM, with dramatic results. Flying is now incredibly safe. The lessons are clear, the cause is urgent, and the time has come for all health care organizations to act accordingly."—Lucian L. Leape, MD, Harvard School of Public Health
"This book is a revelation! Anyone who believes that toxic hierarchies and dangerously ineffective communication are inevitable in health care should think again. Beyond the Checklist heralds a new kind of hospital workplace—one that's already been flight-tested. The dysfunctions of our health care system are tragic and unnecessary, but they can be fixed. This book shows us how."—Theresa Brown, RN, clinical nurse and author of Critical Care
"Beyond the Checklist helps us understand that successfully providing safe and reliable care for our patients requires a multifaceted approach. Mechanisms such as checklists need to be integrated with effective leadership, teamwork, knowledge about human factors, and continuous learning. This book provides valuable insights on a journey that will provide a better care experience for patients, their families, and the people providing care."—Michael W. Leonard, MD, Co-Chief Medical Officer of Pascal Metrics and Adjunct Professor of Medicine at Duke University
"Beyond the Checklist recognizes that it takes more than just the standardized execution of processes to create a culture of safety. As the authors reveal, the team intelligence needed in more hospitals can flourish only in a workplace environment where there is proper training, mutual respect, and real cooperation among coworkers."—Veda Shook, President, Association of Flight Attendants–CWA
"The deeper I progressed into this terrific book, the more embarrassed I became for my profession of medicine. Behind our casual assumption as airline customers that we will arrive safely lies an enormously complex process that addresses all human and system issues that could possibly affect safety in air travel. With a few notable exceptions, we in medicine do not come anywhere remotely close to where we need to be to assure our patients of this same kind of safety commitment. There can be no excuse for medicine not pursuing this same all-engaging, relentless process. Our patients deserve nothing less. This is a must-read book for anyone with any connection at all to the delivery of health care services."—Terry R. Rogers, MD, The Foundation for Health Care Quality
"Beyond the Checklist takes us behind an apparently simple tool to lay out the complex social and organizational transformation that makes the checklist effective in aviation and to argue for a similar top-to-bottom transformation of health care. By shifting our attention to the detailed, sustained, and careful work that will be required to make health care safer, the book moves us forward on a long, difficult, but ultimately rewarding journey."—Robert L. Wears, MD, University of Florida and Imperial College London
"Beyond the Checklist provides a timely and insightful assessment of crew resource management (CRM), a key tool for averting disaster in the airline industry. The authors make a compelling case for its application to health care delivery. This book should become an essential text for health care professionals, educators, and policymakers seeking to improve interprofessional training and practice."—Scott Reeves, University of California, San Francisco
"The ideas presented in this book are so clearly developed and the writing so engaging that its audience will not be limited to patient safety experts. Patients, their families, and health care providers of all kinds will also benefit from the authors' insight into hospital safety improvement. The case studies are rich in detail and full of critical reflections on the connection between quality care and optimally functioning teams. The tone of Beyond the Checklist is hopeful but, for good reason, very urgent as well."—Sean P. Clarke, RN, PhD, FAAN, McGill University School of Nursing
"Some experts downplay the parallels between health care and aviation, but there is much we can learn from the system-wide change that greatly improved passenger safety on commercial airlines. This excellent book highlights the innovative programs of pioneering hospitals where better teamwork and effective communication guide every interaction—from the bedside to the boardroom."—Julia Hallisy, DDS, The Empowered Patient Coalition
"This important book brings both a sense of urgency and the hope of clarity in addressing a fundamental and widespread problem in health care. It is a must-read for clinicians and students who deliver care and a call for leadership from every member of the interprofessional team. Leadership is required to change the culture and systems of care delivery. Beyond the Checklist provides the inspiration and a path for that change."—Heather M. Young, RN, FAAN, Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, University of California, Davis
"Beyond the Checklist shows us that Crew Resource Management principles help us deal with our human inability to always perform 'perfectly' while operating in a complex work environment. Little mistakes in aviation compound into huge problems. In commercial airlines, virtual strangers routinely solve complex problems without making critical mistakes. The culture of CRM provides for this as a normal way of operation. If embraced by the field of medicine, it will totally transform the way the industry operates."—Captain Gregory S. Novotny

Theatrical Release: 11/16/2012
Edwin L. Carpenter/span>/span>Source: TheaterWriter: Melissa Rosenberg & Stephenie MeyerProducer: Wyck GodfreyDirector:
Bill CondonGenre: DramaRuntime: 115 min.MPAA Rating: PG-13Starring: Kristen Stewart,
Robert Pattinson,
Taylor Lautner
Synopsis:Brought back from near-death by Edward after childbirth, Bella begins her new life as a vampire and mother to their daughter, Renesmee. When the Volturi are led to believe that Renesmee was not born as a vampire but, rather, turned into one in violation of their code, the Volturi set out to destroy the child and the Cullen clan; however the Cullens band together with vampires from around the world to stand united against the Volturi.
Dove Worldview:The first "Twilight" movie received our Dove Seal but since then it has been either language or violence in the films which prevented us from awarding our Seal to the subsequent movies. In this case it is once again violence which prevents us from doing so for this, the final film in the series. There are several decapitation scenes, scenes in which heads are literally pulled from bodies and this rates a four in the content listing, and any category rated a three or above does not receive the Dove Seal.
The story revolves around Edward and Bella (Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart), now married, and their half-human half-vampire daughter named Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy). The daughter appears normal in many respects but is aging at a fast rate. A group of other-worldly creatures called the Volturi want the child. Jacob (Taylor Lautner) is given the duty of protecting the daughter. Bella has taken to her new life, stating, "My time as a human was over but I never felt more alive. I was born to be a vampire." However, she worries for the safety of her daughter.
Without plot spoiling, the story wraps up in a way which should be satisfying to legions of "Twilight" fans. However, it sadly falls short of our Dove Seal due to the violent content.
Content Chart & Description
Sex: Several scenes of passionate kissing between a husband and wife including neck kissing and grabbing bed sheets; wife rips shirt off husband and her bare back is seen and a partial view of her breast from the side; when a couple emerges from the bedroom a character says, "Wow, done already!" There are a few sensual scenes but none over the top.
Language: H-3; A-1; PO-1
Violence: Several scenes of decapitations and heads literally being pulled from bodies; a cougar is bitten by a vampire; blood is seen on a child's mouth; a battle scene featuring wolves and punching and the earth swallowing characters and the aforementioned heads being removed from bodies; man bitten on neck; a character receives a slight shock but is okay.
Drugs: Drinking in one scene.
Nudity: Cleavage; woman's bare back is seen and a partial view of her breast from the side; shirtless men; partially nude rear of a male statue.
Other: A world of vampires and powerful creatures called the Volturi; wolves which can take human form.
