to think this video may show that Esther Rantzen KNEW Jimmy Saville was abusing children...(169 Posts)
... And to think that if she did, ChildLine need to say publicly how awful that is...
Esther Rantzen was interviewed on Sky a couple of days ago, about the documentary which alleged Saville was a predatory abuser. I've just come across a video of the interview (click here) , and I'm really shocked by how she appears to duck the question "When did YOU know?"
It does seem that a lot of people knew about Saville, or had their suspicions, years ago But I can't help feeling that Rantzen's role at Childline puts her in an entirely different position to anyone else who may have known... She's a 'champion' for the organisation... But if it transpires that she kept silent about abuse, I think that's really appalling, and ChildLine need to make some kind of statement... Because if
even the founder of ChildLine keeps silent about abuse, for any reason at all, then doesn't that give a terrible message to all those children and adults trying to find the courage to speak out about what has happened to them, that everyone is keeping silent, and they are right to feel afraid and alone?
I find this very upsetting, and if turns out Rantzen did know, I think that is really shocking and outrageous... But AIBU? Do other people draw different conclusions from the video? And if not, could there be a good reason for her not to speak out?
(going to bed in a foul mood now - goodnight all)
I need to go to bed soon, but thanks everyone for your thoughts.I'll come back to this tomorrow eve.
Has anyone actually watched the video of the news interview yet? I'd be interested to hear people's reactions to it...
Me too and equally in bad mood
(I really am going) I did watch it - and I thought she didn't know enough to report and I'd be more interested to hear what that dick of a producer had to say for himself and how he justified absolutely definitively knowing that Saville had a 12 year old girl in his bed - and did nothing. Nothing about it.
She could have been any one of us or our daughters ....
Bonzo - "He KNEW without doubt and did nothing. She heard a rumour and set up a charity to support vunerable kids. Why are you still ranting about ER and not that bloody bloke??"
^^ That's a fair question. I think it's because she has a voice, power and influence - and a particualr public role where she is supposed to stand up against child abuse... Whereas he's a little bloke I'd never heard of before tonight.
Quickly yes i did. Not a great response from her when questioned why she said nothing when she headed Childline, i get what she is saying. She said they all colluded so many of them and this enabled him to get away
No excuse. None.
I didn't mean have you watched the documentary - I had the same reaction to you when I saw that.... I meant the Sky interview with Ranzten. - That's when I thought "Bloody hell, she knew", and felt so shocked.
(Don't go to bed in bad moods, Bonzo and FGS, please . I appreciate your views and I am listening).
BonzoDooDah, I found him creepy precisely because you could see he did not respect boundaries - invading people's space both physically and verbally.
So she's human and not perfect and not Saint Esther. Are the ones being so critical of her so sure they would have done so different to her back then, are you so sure if you were in her position you would have spoke up on a rumour and took all the fall out and flack that went with it?
All I can say is read the other thread on our experiences of abuse and how often it was just swept under the carpet, how being touched inappropriately was just part of life
No one is saying it is right its just recognising that because of attitudes with his power JS managed get away with it. I am glad there will be an investigation would never have come out while he was alive it's sickening
You may not have heard of him but he had quite a lot of power at the beeb. In fact on the same night as the Savile doc was shown, there was a bbc4 drama in which a fictionalised version of him was seen giving Kenny Everett his first break. He was certainly more influential at the time than ER was (who was a long way off founding ChildLine) and he knew. And not only did he do nothing at the time, he was seen smirking and minimising it even now. She at least appears to be deeply sorry, thoughtful and guilty for her part in the collusion, even though there is no suggestion she had first hand knowledge or anything that might have been taken seriously.
Those who think Rantzen should have 'spoken up' - what exactly did you want her to say to who?
<just watched the video>
I'm not sure that repeating 'office gossip' to her male managers would have been productive and I wouldn't imagine for a moment that even the police would have taken allegations about Saint Jimmy seriously in the 1970s.
The onus of responsibility is different on those who witnessed some abuse or who the victim of abuse informed.
However, ultimately of course Savile is the one responsible for the abuse and the whole myth of 'saint J' that he cunningly constructed around himself, and he is a much more appropriate focus of outrage.
I am there with you Rosebud, when you are a relatively junior member of staff it is very hard to speak up about what might be seen as "Office gossip" and lets not forget that ER is now being interviewed at a time when all that office gossip has proved to be correct. If I was in her shoes I would feel as guilty as hell, even though at the time it happened I might have been powerless to stop it or to raise concerns by asking "actually is this true"?
She heard gossip, she didn't know if it was true and JS was a powerful and saint like figure to many many people in power. In her position at the time I might have dismissed it as just gossip and nothing more.
Thinking about it, even if the police did take it seriously, JS was so well connected that he would have found some way of silencing any allegations.
It is up to the police to launch an investigation if they have grounds to believe an offence had been committed.
They can't act on isolated rumours but there were so many that this warranted a closer look. I believe one police force did ask questions before dropping it. Why aren't we asking them why before picking on Esther Rantzen? And then we could ask other police forces who must have heard these rumours why they didn't bother either.
It might turn our that Savile was part of a shadowy conspiracy of High Court judges and members of Royalty but the most likely reason is that like other abusers, he chose his victims carefully to ensure they wouldn't be believed or sympathised with.
Most people, men and women, thought the victims were grasping little slags who got what they deserved. Some of them still do. As they do in other cases of mass abuse.
actually scrub 'mass abuse' for 'abuse'. Most abusers pick victims who won't be believed or whom no one likes much. They are not stupid.
Also the newspapers who all knew this stuff was true took one look at Savile and another at his victims and asked: 'Who will our readers believe and will they continue to be our readers if we go after one of their favourite showbiz personalities on behalf of soppy little slags*?'
* Not my description, in case anyone thinks it is. But one that is widely used by all sorts of people to describe vulnerable girls.
If the abuse is true (which it is increasingly looking like), then ER can't be held responsible. Alot of people would have covered up for JS, and probably would have been involved also. In the 70s/early 80s, it was very difficult to be a successful female reporter - it was a very male dominated world - so females such as ER and Anne Robinson would have had little support.
Last year, there was a documentary on Lewis Hamilton and all his affairs, visits to strip clubs etc. It tarnished his perfect image. If such a cover up can occur today, can you imagine what happened 20-30 years ago.
Also, what would you do in this situation? Its easy to have suspicions, but harder to act on them. Also, maybe people thought it was malicious gossip, rather then true. Also, its easier to be wise after the event,
How do we know that she didn't have conversations with the police and bbc bosses? She may have asked them to investigate but then it would have been out of her hands.
If she didn't actually raise questions at the time, then yes she should be feeling very guilty. Whilst she has undoubtably done a lot of good with childline, there does seem to be hypocrisy in this situation. No one is perfect though. She may well have feared the fall out and may have had to evaluate her chances of actually being successful in making him accountable.
Do we know for certain that ER didn't say anything at the time? Perhaps several people did and found that the Beeb heirarchy closed ranks. We just don't know what people might have tried to do in the 70s to stop what was happening.
X posts with she.
You can't take a rumour to the police. JS was notoriously litigious, unless you had concrete proof, you might not have got anywhere.
she's a bloody disgrace. he was not her responsibility but she had a responsibility to all that she has stood for with Childline. She must at some point have had conversation with Jimmy Saville within her career as patron of that charity, about her charity work and his charity work.
why can't you take a rumour to the police though? What does it matter if there is no evidence at that point.
You bring it to someones attention. surely. grrrr

World Record Baseball Catch... Sort Of
Zach Hample tried to break a world record catching the highest fly ball ever.
Zach had a baseball dropped from a helicopter 1,000 above him, potentially putting him in a lot of danger.
He actually DID IT, it's caught here on video. One small problem... NO ONE CALLED THE GUINNESS PEOPLE so it doesn't count!!! How stupid.
I've been in radio since 1981, starting on Cape Cod, and in Boston, Massachusetts where I grew up. (when The Sox and Patriots both broke everyone's hearts, and the Celtics ruled. Funny how things change.)
After 3 years in Las Vegas in the late 80's, early 90's I was looking for work and luckily found myself here in Cleveland in 1991, through some mutual radio friends. I got to play the hits as Jammin 92's Night guy until 1999, and met Britney Spears back when she wasn't making people gag.
After watching my former company screw up the Jammin' Oldies thing for a couple of years, I came to Majic in 2001, the best decision I ever made!

In a previous post we talked about the clang-modernize tool to detect where you can use some new C++11 features to modernize your C++ source code. But how we can easilly detect where the new C++ features are used in a project?
Facebook and Google use intensively C++11 in their source code. Folly from Facebook as we discovered in a previos post use almost all the C++11 features and I was curious to know if Microsoft also use the new C++11 standards in their open sourced code.
The Microsoft open source projects could be found in their GitHub repository, some of them are only forks from other projects to adapt them to their needs like LLVM, Clang and OpenCV and others are developed by them. Let's take a look in one of their projects and discover if the C++11 is adopted and the best choice could be their latest open sourced C/C++ project:WinObjc.
Windows Bridge for iOS (also referred to as WinObjC) is a Microsoft open source project that provides an Objective-C development environment for Visual Studio/Windows. In addition, WinObjC provides support for iOS API compatibility.
A first solution to check where C++11 were used is to explore each source file which could take hours or maybe days depending on the size of the project. Another solution is to use Clang.
Clang and its powerful diagnostic engine to the rescue.
The clang team aims to provide as clear and expressive error messages as possible. They try to make it as user friendly as they can for a command line compiler. To do so, clang should pinpoint exactly what is wrong in the code. This is done through a diagnostics engine which processes the error information into a user friendly message.
Clang emits many kind of diagnostics and for our needs the more interested ones has a description like this: "XXX incompatible with C++98″
But how we can get the Clang Diagnostics for a Visual Studio solution?
The first alternative is to compile your projects using Clang, however it's not an easy task, indeed you have to modify your build process to use Clang instead of the microsoft compiler.
The second alternative is to analyze your visual studio projects using CppDepend which uses Clang as front end parser, and report all its diagnostics. CppDepend is free for the open source community.
And here's the result of all clang diagnostics for the WinObjc solution
But in our case we need only the diagnostics of kind "incompatible with C++98″, you can easily filter the previous request to get only these diagnostics:
As we can observe the nullptr and auto features are used in many places in the source code, but unlike Facebook and Google projects the C++11 features are not widely used. And when exploring the C++ source files of WinObjC, we can remark that they use more the C++/CX extensions.
Sometimes it's interesting to know if a c++ project uses the new standards and where there are used. Clang is a powerful tool to have this info.

"No X Ray"
Posted by Anonymous
It was a waste of time our visiting Minor Injuries with a hand injury on a Sunday afternoon. X ray was not open so the injury could not be fully diagnosed. We were advised to come back for X ray on the following Wednesday - but we wanted to know what was wrong and have it treated accordingly. A notice should be displayed making clear the times when X ray is not available and listing alternative sites where X ray is available.

Friday Flashback: When They Broke Ground on the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in December '05
Strange timing that one of my last tasks for the Observer will be covering the opening (but not really opening) of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. Shame I can't get Schutze to be my date this weekend, so instead I'll just have to schlep along my son, who wants to get a few last photos on Unfair Park before I scoot. I also wanted to post these videos -- a six-part series of clips that date back to the frigid December 9, 2005, groundbreaking ceremony, then held on the soon-to-be-closed Continental Ave. Bridge and presided over by then-Dallas Mayor Laura Miller, who was accompanied by a host of bold-faced dignitaries (among them Ron Kirk, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Pete Sessions and council members), some of whom are still in office all these years later. Also in attendance: Santiago Calatrava hisself, seen above.
Said Miller, the former Observer-er, shortly before that long-ago launching of fireworks at the conclusion of the speech-making, Calatrava "has created an icon for Dallas, and we will never again have a postcard of our city without the Calatrava bridges being on it, and that is a huge thing for Dallas." She also called the bridge "our Eiffel Tower." Which, today, sounds all so familiar. Anyway. Here's your full schedule for the weekend's events; the map too. Then jump for the whole flashback. It's on a loop in Jim's office at this very moment.

As part of the revitalisation of the city centre, Porirua City Council wants to actively encourage and support the developments of residential accommodation in the city centre. As a young city, Porirua has significant growth potential and needs to provide residents with increased varieties of residential accommodation.
The city centre provides potential residents with a great deal of amenity that they would not find in any other location in the city including:
The proposed development of up to 600 new homes on part of the Kenepuru Hospital site will be a great first step and will include a mixture of medium density housing options via a joint venture between Ngati Toa and Carrus Group. In addition the Council is currently working with preferred parties on the conversion of the old Post Office building into apartment units and making land available to the south of the city centre for high density accommodation.
If you're a developer interested in developing residential accommodation in the Porirua city centre, there are a number of incentives available to encourage the development of new good quality residential accommodation including:

Taking your laptop? Keep it - and your precious data - safe
By Marc Saltzman Special for
If you're one of the millions of Americans who travel with laptop PCs for business or pleasure, are you sure you're properly protecting your computer companion?
According to tech security giant Symantec, a laptop is stolen every 53 seconds in the USA � and 97% of them are never recovered.
Losing the computer itself may be the least of your worries when you consider the valuable data that resides on it: financial records, passwords, private documents or irreplaceable digital photos.
�The key to protecting your personal or business data is encryption and backup,� says Peter Firstbrook at Gartner Research. �With encryption, you are preventing someone from accessing your information, while backing up your data is a safeguard in case your laptop is stolen, damaged or lost.�
With that in mind, the following is a look at software and hardware solutions to protecting your laptop, and perhaps more important, the critical files that reside on it.
An encryption program can protect selected files or folders on the hard drive from prying eyes.
�People believe password protection is enough, and it isn't,� says Marty Leamy, president at security software maker Pointsec Mobile Technologies. An expert can crack a weak password in minutes, Leamy says. Security experts recommend encryption programs, which generally require very strong passwords. You can try many of them before you buy at download.com.
Backing up your valuable information on the road is also important. Flash memory drives � which snap into your laptop's Universal Serial Bus (USB) port � are a tiny, fast and inexpensive solution to protecting your data.
The rugged SanDisk (sandisk.com) Titanium Cruzer USB drives ($54.99 for 1 gigabyte of memory or $79.99 for 2GB) offers built-in encryption software to prevent a thief from accessing your files.
Computer users who need to back up a lot of information might opt for an external hard drive (a 250GB model can be found for less than $100).
�If you haven't backed up all your important information, you'll be sorry if you accidentally drop your laptop while in line at the airport,� Firstbrook says.
Many laptops now offer a fingerprint reader, so you � and only you � can access your important files and folders. Usually this biometrics scanner is located near the keyboard or just underneath the laptop's LCD screen.
Manufacturers such as Lenovo (lenovo.com) and Sony (sonystyle.com) offer fingerprint readers on many of their laptops, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad T60 (starts at $1,044) and the Sony Vaio TX notebook series (starting at $2,299).
Some companies specialize in helping authorities track down your laptop if stolen, while a few PC manufacturers also offer this as an additional service, such as Lenovo's Computrace.
Firstbrook, however, says these services may not be an ideal choice.
�We don't necessarily recommend tracking down the machine, because the PC itself isn't too important,� says Firstbrook.
Tracking services, which may use GPS signals or silent alarms when connected to the Internet, may be better for when the authorities are trying to crack a larger theft ring rather than recovering individual computers, Firstbrook says.
Also be careful when logging online in a wireless hot spot � such as in a hotel, caf� or airport lounge � as you may not be logging onto a valid wireless network.
A new kind of phishing attack has surfaced, where computer users believe they're signing onto a public wireless network with their credit card, but it's really someone nearby with a wireless computer attempting to steal your identity.
It isn't uncommon for hackers to camp out near hospitals, companies and coffee shops with the intent to prowl for personal data, says Robert Seliger, CEO of Sentillion, a data-security company. He and others suggest consumers ask businesses who their wireless network provider is before signing on.
Finally, laptop-toting travelers who visit airport lounges or cybercafes may consider physically bolting their laptop to a desk or other secure object.
Think of it like a computer version of a bike chain; a steel cable is connected to a small security slot on the laptop, usually along the side or back, before being tethered to a large or heavy object.
Kensington (us.kensington.com), for example, offers a key-based Microsaver DS Notebook Lock ($54.99) or a Microsaver Combination Notebook Lock ($39.99) with a keyless four-wheel combination lock style.

I have been back to the New Market Square Bella Luna four times now and I have yet to try something I did not like. The atmosphere is beautiful, although it can be pretty noisy. You will definitely miss out if you don't start with the hummus, I hear the hummus schwarma is great too, but have yet to try it. They have a large selection of appetizers, a few soups, salads, sandwiches, and a wide variety of steaks and pastas. They also have a wide selection of wine.
The best sandwich is definitely the chicken schwarma. I have tried the fattoush salad and chicken salad (actual chicken salad on a bed of lettuce) and was pleased with both. I also recommend the falafel as a vegetarian dish. Other recommendations are the cream of mushroom soup, chicken salad sandwich, and for a side either the French fries or pasta salad. Cole slaw is also an option, but since I am not a fan to begin with, I can't recommend it. The food is also great warmed up a day or two later as a leftover lunch or dinner.
Most of the time, you wait to be seated, but when it isn't crowded at all, you may be told to seat yourself as that usually means they don't have many waitresses on the floor. Only once have I been there and had to wait more than 15 minutes for a table and that was on a Friday night so that was understandable.
The worst service was a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't crowded, but our service was still pretty slow. Very friendly service overall. The Friday night we went, they had a full staff, but it was plain to see that the waitresses were all quick on their feet trying to keep all their tables satisfied. Our waitress didn't let our waters get less than half full the entire time. Little detail, but pretty impressive.

I would never recommend such a dissatisfing experience. The service was great until the manager decided to yell at the server at our table. How unprofessional?!? Nonetheless, the manager was not only dressed unprofessionally in sweat pants and a ball cap but she was yelling at the server in front of tables when, in our opinion, she had done nothing wrong. Furthermore, the chicken shawarma, that so many of my friends had recommended, tasted aweful!!! I will never eat there again and will definately recommend alternative restaurants to my friends. Overall it was a disappointment. Don't waste your money.

The Hummus is grand and their house salad is bellissimo! Very busy at lunch time at Bradley Fair location during the week (Call in your to-go order well in advance if you don't want to wait awhile). Wait Staff at Rock Road location (as usual for any restaurant) have to multi-task and during the busy lunch hour you might wait for a refill a little too long. I'd like to see them keep their current locations but open a 3rd location that has a quieter more romantic evening atmosphere. I usually go to the College Hill location on central on weekends

I went to the location on Rock Road. The service was awful. It was at lunch time and got there before the rush. Which wasn't too bad considering how small the place is. I never got a refill on my drink. Asked once and the waitress said she would be right back and never came back. Was pretty much ignored the whole time we were there. And the food was very bland. No distinct flavor at all. Although they were very prompt with the bill. Too bad I couldn't say anything else was as good.

" Krulwich is a journalist working across numerous arenas...much of his talk concerned framing, and the way the media handles inclusion and exclusion, and how it creates spaces of framing. Also political campaigns uses and abuse spatially, in order to portray a different sense of space. For example, Krulwich showed some great footage from the early 90s, of Bush the Elder's campaign of the time, and the various tactics involved in building a crowd i.e. hire a 354-person band; hand out tickets to locals, imploring them to come by calling them VIPs. And then, most interestingly, creating a smaller space downtown by fencing off areas - as the rally organiser says it makes the crowd bigger."

Microsoft has recently released the Surafce Pro 3, the latest addition to its window tablet line-up.
The first suface tablet were pitched directly against the iPad, however Microsoft has described the Surface Pro 3 as a tablet that can replace laptop. The Surface Pro 3 was targeted and aimed at people who want the portability of a tablet but has got the power of a laptop. The iPad is well known and more of a consumer gadget used for communication and entertainment, rather than productivity, so it does not stand the chance of being a complete replacement of a laptop.
One of the only area in which the most recent iPad and Surface Pro 3 SHARE similarities is the Design. They are both tablets, so the both sport touch screens and don't have a keyboard attached to it like a laptop does.
The Microsoft Pro 3 has a larger screen than iPad's 9.7 in display, at 12inches, designed to cater for running apps alongside each other, or for those who want to run applications that benefit from more screen like Office programs and photoshop. It has a resolution of 2160x1440, while the iPad Air has a resolution of 2048x1536. That means that the iPad Air's retina display has a higher pixel density (264ppi) than the Surface Pro 3 (216ppi).
Microsoft has designed the Surface Pro 3 to give it a 3:2 aspect ratio, which allows you to snap three apps side-by-side at equal widths. It's also designed to look and feel similar to a piece of paper, according to Microsoft. The iPad has 4:3 aspect ratio. The newest iPad Air is much lighter than the Surface Pro 3, but the Suraface Pro 3 is larger overall and has some heavy technology inside it to bring taht aforementioned power. It is 800g for the Surface Pro compared with 469g for the iPad Air, and 9:1mm in thickness for the Surface Pro 3 comapred with 7.5mm for the ipad Air. The most important part of it, is taht MICROSOFT SURFACE PRO 3 is the thinnest intel core PC ever made.
Here is where the similarities end and the difference between the two tablets became clear. As it's designed to be a replacement of a laptop, the surface Pro 3 uses ultar book-class intel chip (either core i3, core i5 or core i7 depending on the model you choose), making the higher-spec models just As powerful as any laptop on the market, the most DESKTOP PC. The iPad Air, uses Apple-exclusive ARM-based A7 chip designed to be used on mobile devices. The Surface Pro 3 performance is yet to be tested on such device, but yet can expect it to br very impressive for a tablet.
As for the connectivity comparison, the Surafce Pro 3 sees the Suraface supporting a USB 3 port and a micrSD CARD READER and the iPad Air lacks. The iPad Air has just 1GB of RAM, while Surface Pro 3 has the option of 4GB or 8GB RAM, designed for more powerful tack. The iPad Air has 1.2MP front-facing camera and a 5MP rear-facing camera, while the Surface Pro 3 has a 5MP front-facing camera and a 5MP rear-facing camera for higher quality. The iPad Air last for 10 hours of continous use and Microsoft claims that Surface Pro 3 will last for 9 hours of web browsing , which is better than many laptops though, the iPad Air last longer.
Another part that makes the iPad Air and Surface Pro 3 very different is the Software. Apple iPad Air runs iOS7 (soon iOS8), an operating system designed specifically for mobile use. The Surface Pro 3 runs Microsoft's Windows 8, which means you can install application that has been designed for desktop use as well as Micrsoft office application. Essentially, it can do everything a Windows laptop can. Microsoft has recently lunched its office apps for iOS, but they are not the same as the program designed for laptops and Desktop computers, while the Suraface is capable of running. Although,the constantly growing selection of iPad apps in the iOS App store is very impressive and not accessible from the Suraface Pro 3. The price of the two tablet is different. The Suraface Pro 3 is designed for more powerful tasks than iPad. It has a bigger capacity options and MORE RAM.
The iPad and Surface Pro 3 are both tablets, they are aimed at different audience and are difficult to directly compare. The Surafce Pro 3 is designed to fit the needs of a more portable laptop. The iPad Air cater to that, but not always entirely. The 64GB Surface Pro 3 cost £639 compared with the 64GB iPad Air at £559(wifi only). For £639, you can get a 128GB wifi only iPad Air, or a 128GB Surface Pro 3 for £849. Slightly older model of the iPad and models with less storage are available for little as £300.

Military Flight Simulator
Anaheim, CA
Wednesday through Friday - 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Saturday and Sunday - 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM
- Flight gear, training and in-flight instruction are provided ensuring a challenging aviation-themed adventure
- 9 networked simulators allow you to engage in a dogfight with your friends or colleagues
- Climb aboard, settle into your ejection seat, and get ready for intense head-to-head air combat!
This authentic military flight simulation center provides civilians the opportunity to pilot a fighter jet in actual flight simulators. This is no video game.
Climb aboard and settle into the ejection seat and you'll be amazed. The instrumentation, full immersion audio, throttle and joy stick combine to convince you you're flying a fighter jet for real.
Take it to the edge. With seven networked simulators you can go solo, fly as a team or take the ultimate challenge and experience head-to-head air combat, also known as dogfighting.
Your experience includes a pre-flight briefing and cockpit briefing to give you the instruction you need to survive in the cyber skies. You'll also get all the mission support you need from our staff in the control tower
The flight is simulated, but the experience is real! This is a flight you and your friends will never forget!
Fox-1 Mission for first time participants includes:
- Airport take-off
- Basic maneuvers (practice)
- Air-to-air combat
- Two airport landings
- Two aircraft carrier traps
Fox-2 Mission for returning participants only includes:
- Airport take-off
- Air-to-ground combat using 2.75 FFAR rockets
- Air-to-air combat
- Two airport landings
- Two aircraft carrier traps
Essential Information:
- Participants must complete the Fox-1 Mission before booking the Fox-2 Mission
- Participants must be at least 11 years old
- Participants must be between 4'7" and 7'1"
- Participants must weigh no more than 350 pounds
- No previous experience is necessary
40 minutes of simulator time
Maximum Participants:
Up to 28, with 9 players participating at once. For groups larger than 4, please contact Cloud 9 Living directly.
Allowed, you will be able to watch on a screen what the pilots are doing as well as listen to them over a speaker
Weather Dependent:
This experience is indoors and is not weather dependent.
What to Wear:
Casual attire
Booking Information:
For this experience, it is recommended to request bookings at least 7 - 14 days in advance.
Cancellation Policy:
Prior to scheduling/booking a date for this experience, Cloud 9's standard return and exchange policy shall apply. Once you have received a booking confirmation, cancellations and re-booking are allowed up to 48 hours prior to the Experience. Failure to appear on your booked date or to cancel and rebook at least 48 hours prior to your booked date will result in the loss of the value of your Experience.
Experience ID:
How many people can fly at once?
There are currently 9 F-16 cockpits that are networked by computer. Like the actual F-16, each cockpit has room for only one pilot.
Do the simulators move?
Like most military simulators, ours are stationary. There isn't an easy way to replicate the G forces a pilot pulls during a typical mission, so the experience is entirely visual and audio.
Will I get motion sickness?
No, because the simulators themselves don't move and you have entire control of your jet the whole time, even the people who say, "I'll be the first to get sick" have a great time!

"I was disappointed my simulator did not work properly. I was unable to see the projections of the flight to accurately participate. My son enjoyed his experience. My wife gave me this as a gift. We live in Oklahoma and she knew we would be in CA, so that I could use my Cloud 9 Living gift. I would have like to have participated more in this experience. "
"Booked the flight simulator as a surprise gift to my husband. He had an awesome time! Will definitely do it again."
"My grandson loved the entire experience and days later was still talking about it."

Sit your husband down, in a calm manner, and start the conversation like this:
"Honey, I'm looking forward to having our friends over on Sunday. You are such a great cook, and it's really enjoyable for me to have you cook while I enjoy conversation with our friends." (step 1: Provide a compliment).
Honey, I'm not sure whether you are aware of how how proud I am of us becoming part of the paleo community. I feel empowered to be moving towards greater health. I also find the transition to greater health a little challenging.
Step 2: Communicate the problem:
"Honey, I feel frustrated with pasta menu on Sundays. It's hard for me to not eat the pasta, given all the work that you put into cooking it, however at the same time, I know that I won't feel well on Monday, if I eat that yummy pasta. I wish I didn't have this problem because it's causing me stress. Also, if I decide not to eat the pasta, I feel that it could make our guests feel awkward.
Step 3: Ask for help in solving this problem:
"Honey, I need your help and support in keeping me on the path to greater health through the paleo lifestyle. I wonder if we could think of a Sunday menu that would satisfy our paleo lifestyle, and be tasty for our friends and family. Could we table some ideas for a new Sunday menu? I sure appreciate your help with this."
Step 4: Thank your husband and re-iterate how much he means to you.
"Honey, thanks for listening and appreciating my concerns: Means the world to me. I'm going to order one of Mark Sisson's paleo cookbooks now, to help us menu plan for Sundays. **kiss kiss**
A woman should not consider herself 'assertive' when asking her spouse for support. If I were your guest and I noticed that you were eating something different than what you cooked me --- well, I'd be wondering why that is and it would make me feel awfully weird. Ask your husband to make the pasta as a side dish to a main that you can all enjoy.

My daughter is turning 9 next week and is in grade 4. She is in enrichment for everything they have available (math, science, language arts, spelling) but it still isn't challenging enough. For example, for her spelling enrichment program they give them a folder of work to be completed each week. She finishes the entire weeks worth of work in an hour and then has nothing else to do. Same thing for the other subjects. She was so excited when she was able to join all the enrichment stuff but even though it's harder than the regular grade 4 work it is still far too easy for her. Any ideas on what we can do?
Time to schedule a meeting with the teacher, I would think.
Mountain mama to one great kid and three great grown-ups
Can you suggest something? A project that is open-ended that she pioneers the ideas for herself? (All about a specific culture/people/time in history, or some kind of animal? After she finishes all the "enrichment" stuff, she could develop her own learning project for the remainder of the work time? It would be more fun than just sitting and reading, as wonderful as reading is.
Even if her work is challenging, she shouldn't have more than about 2.5 hours of homework each week total for all subjects.
I'm not talking about homework. She's in a completely pulled out spelling program. She finishes the whole weeks worth (4 days of spelling x 45 minutes of class work plus 5 days of homework at 15 minutes each day or a total of
4 hours and 15 minutes worth of work in an hour or less). With no effort whatsoever. It is definitely far below her level. She can spell words that are on the 8th grade list with little effort. And it is like that in every subject. Teacher meetings in the next couple of weeks and we'll be discussing it for sure.
An hour of spelling in a week seems reasonable for a 4th grader. It may very well be that her work is not challenging enough, but the amount of time she spends on it is s bad indicator of whether or not it is appropriate.
Even if her work is challenging, she shouldn't have more than about 2.5 hours of homework each week total for all subjects.
I've never had a kid in elementary school, but isn't that a heck of a lot of time in the school schedule to devote to spelling? My perception is probably warped by the efficiency of homeschooling but we don't spend 45 minutes a day on anything, let alone a tiny sub-skill within the general language arts area. I would not want my kids to have four hours a week of spelling work. Heck, they've never done any spelling work at all, none of them, not at any age. For my kids advanced spelling ability has come naturally from advanced reading experience and there was absolutely no necessity to "give them challenging spelling work" any more than a kid who has never had a cavity needs to work harder at dental hygeine.
I can see your point if there are similar issues in math and science and reading and so on. But I think on the spelling issue I would be grateful she isn't spending much time at it.
I agree with suggestions above about finding open-ended projects or creative pursuits she could work at when she has free time at school. My 8-year-old spends 20-40 minutes a day at structured academics and is cruising along progressing nicely at a 7th grade level. If your dd is similar, there is no way anyone is ever going to fill 5 or 6 hours a day of school time with challenging academics. There's really no point since she's likely progressing already with her own brand of ruthless efficiency in learning, and busy-work would be worse than just letting her be. Finding ways to "let her be" without being aimless, bored, disruptive or distracting to others is likely going to be the key.

UNITED NATIONS – Grinning and tossing off brisk salutes, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denied Thursday that Iran wants a nuclear bomb and said it might discuss suspending uranium enrichment if the conditions are fair.
During an hourlong press conference, Ahmadinejad declined to repeat his threat that Israel should be "wiped off the map." But he railed against Zionists and suggested that several thousand mainly Jewish protesters who demonstrated against his presence in New York City might have been paid to attend. He also called for a referendum on the future of Israel and the Palestinian areas.
Smiling from the start, Ahmadinejad quoted from the Quran and apologized to New York's residents for the inconvenience his and other leaders' motorcades caused during the annual U.N. General Assembly.
At one point, he called America "a great nation."
With his face on the cover of Time magazine and his every word and movement followed by hordes of journalists, this has clearly been Ahmadinejad's week.
His combination of breezy confidence and sometimes slippery answers underscored the challenge President Bush faces in trying to halt Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program.
Ahmadinejad was just one of the world leaders who denounced Bush's foreign policies in the General Assembly hall this week.
The United States, European nations, Russia and China this week set another deadline – the first week of October – for Iran to respond on whether it will stop enriching uranium, which, if made pure enough, could fuel an atomic bomb.
A previous deadline, Aug. 31, came and went. But with Iran dangling the possibility of talks, Bush had little choice, U.S. officials said privately.
"We're in extra innings," Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns, the State Department's point man on Iran, said this week.
But Ahmadinejad seemed in no hurry to deliver the final pitch.
Asked repeatedly whether Iran would suspend uranium enrichment, he complained: "I don't see why so many people are so sensitive about this 'enrichment' word.
"We have said under fair conditions and just conditions, we will negotiate about it," he said.
At another point, he said flatly: "The bottom line is, we do not need a bomb, unlike what others think."
If Ahmadinejad's performance here was any indication, any talks could be frustrating.
He spent 15 minutes answering the first question at the press conference.
Asked what guarantees he could provide that Iran didn't seek Israel's destruction or a nuclear bomb, he embarked on a lengthy review of how Washington has sought to strangle Iran's Islamic revolution since 1979.
"Today, the pretext happens to be the nuclear issue," he said.
As for proof that Iran isn't interested in nuclear weapons, he said: "I am at a loss to understand what else we need to do to provide guarantees."
Ahmadinejad was little known outside of Iran when he was elected. He quickly shocked much of the world by questioning whether the Holocaust took place and calling for Israel's destruction.
Several thousand supporters of Israel rallied Wednesday to protest his presence and call for the release of two Israeli reserve soldiers kidnapped in mid-July by Iranian-backed Hezbollah.
Ahmadinejad pondered out loud whether "some of these people were paid," though he insisted he wasn't "anti-Jew."
He was asked three times whether Iran would halt arms shipments to Hezbollah, which the U.N. Security Council called for to cement the cease-fire in Lebanon. He never gave a clear answer.

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/353,765, filed Jan. 28, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,551,787 B2, issued Jun. 23, 2009.
This invention relates generally to data compression and recompression and, more particularly, to a technique for incrementally storing additional images in a given storage area.
Compression associated with data, especially data in the form of images, generally is "lossy compression", although, as will be described presently; in some instances, "lossless compression" may be used. Standard well-known "lossy compression" techniques, such as JPEG, sacrifice fine details in the image to gain storage efficiency, minimizing file size. The degree of compression in the stored image is referred to as its "quality" or "Q" factor.
It is often the case that the amount of information to be stored exceeds the resource available to hold it. For example, a vacationing user may have a digital camera with one "FLASH ROM". If conditions are conducive to photography and opportunities are abundant, the photographer may fill the non-volatile storage before the vacation is completed. If new opportunities for photographs present themselves, the photographer must decide whether to delete images to make room for others.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide a technique (method, system, apparatus, article of manufacture, signal-bearing media) to adaptively adjust compression quality of data to permit the incremental storage into a predetermined space-of-objects, which may be lossily-compressed.
For expository purposes, the invention will be described in terms of a digital camera, i.e. a camera which records images as compressed files in a fixed-size non-volatile storage, although this should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. The invention can be practiced in any situation which allows for lossy data compression. It is also useful in some situations where lossy compression is not acceptable, but where a plurality of lossless compression schemes are available, the denser ones requiring more time or resource to execute. Although the storage described herein is customarily semiconductor non-volatile storage, the invention is not limited to that type; rotating magnetic (disk) storage, tape storage, or any other digital storage may be utilized.
In one embodiment, a method of storing multiple captured images in digital form includes storing an image captured in a digital form in a first format in a digital storage device with an image already stored in the digital form in the storage device, and determining if a percentage of a finite storage capacity of the digital storage device needed to store the captured and already stored images in the storage device exceeds a pre-set threshold value, wherein storage used of the finite storage capacity to store images may exceed the pre-set threshold value. If the percentage of storage space needed to store the captured and already stored images in the storage device is determined to exceed the pre-set threshold value, then the method compresses at least one of the captured and already stored images and stores all of the captured and already stored images, including all of the compressed images of the captured image and the already stored image, in the storage device.
In another embodiment, a device for storing multiple captured images in digital form includes a digital storage device operatively connected to a structure to capture an image in a digital form, wherein the digital storage device has a finite storage capacity for storing the images in the digital form. The device embodiment thus stores an image captured in a digital form in a first format in a digital storage device with an image that is already stored in the digital form in the storage device, and determines if a percentage of a finite storage capacity of the digital storage device that is needed to store the captured and already stored images in the storage device exceeds a pre-set threshold value, wherein the storage used of the finite storage capacity to store images may exceed the pre-set threshold value. The device embodiment automatically compresses at least one of the captured and already stored images if the determined percentage of storage space needed to store the captured and already stored images exceeds the pre-set threshold value, and stores all of the captured and already stored images, including all of the compressed images of the captured image and the already stored image in the storage device.
In another embodiment, a computer program product for storing multiple captured images in digital form includes a computer readable storage device having computer executable program code stored thereon. The program code comprises instructions which, when executed on a programmable device, cause the programmable device to store an image captured in a digital form in a first format in a digital storage device with an image that is already stored in the digital form in the storage device, and to determine if a percentage of a finite storage capacity of the digital storage device that is needed to store the captured and already stored images in the digital storage device exceeds a pre-set threshold value, wherein the storage used of the finite storage capacity to store images may exceed the pre-set threshold value. The programmable device is also thereby further caused to automatically compress at least one of the captured and the already stored images if the determined percentage of storage space needed to store the captured and already stored images exceeds the pre-set threshold value, and to store all of the captured and the already stored images, including all of the compressed images, the captured image and the already stored image, in the storage device.
Referring now to the drawings and, for the present, to
Compression on color images is performed on three separate images captured as the red, green and blue contributions. Each is treated as a gray-scale image. DSP 18 can perform lossless or lossy compression.
Lossless compression may involve run-length encoding, which is well-known. Run-length encoding is performed by replacing a sequence of repeated identical values with one instance of the value and a count. A more advanced coding, Lempel-Ziv encoding, stores repeated sequences of values in a dictionary and makes reference to them by their dictionary indices. A suitable method is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,814,746 to Miller and Wegman, assigned to International Business Machines Corp., and incorporated herein by reference. When lossless compression is reversed, the decompressed data is identical to the original data prior to compression.
However, the invention in the preferred embodiment works best with lossy compression. The degree of compression can be varied, resulting in less or more loss of fine detail in the image and correspondingly greater or lesser size of the compressed image. In the well-known JPEG scheme, devised by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, the image is divided into blocks. The image data is transformed using the discrete cosine transform (similar to the Fourier transform) to the frequency domain. The result is a series of coefficients, the first representing the base (DC) intensity, and subsequent ones each representing intensity at finer levels of detail. An image of higher compression (and greater loss) has fewer coefficients in the series. Compression techniques in the JPEG format are shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,677,689, dated Oct. 14, 1997, which is also incorporated herein by reference. When lossy compression is reversed, the decompressed data is not the same as the original data. Some detail, depending upon the degree of compression, will have been lost.
Image recompression with a higher compression factor may be performed by expanding the image from the compressed frequency-domain format (which resides in nonvolatile memory 200) into data memory 22 in image format, and then recompressing it at a higher compression factor. However, the preferred way to recompress the image is to recompress it directly in the frequency domain, by copying the data, while deleting higher order coefficients (in the JPEG format). Direct data recompression in the frequency domain is shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,128,413 entitled Mapping Through Interval Refinement, incorporated herein by reference. The image may be manipulated directly in nonvolatile memory 200 or by copying it to data memory 22.
As indicated previously, the present invention will be described as it is embodied in a digital camera. However, there are many other uses to which this technique can be applied. For example, in recorded speech, a digital answering machine or other types of voice-mail re-compresses messages to make room for more messages. In recorded audio, an MP3 player, or a computer that loads it, could compress the audio a bit more to get more pieces onboard. (MP3 is itself lossy compression of sampled audio). In video, a motion video camera could recompress its data in a manner similar to a still camera. The technique of the invention can be used to compress other data that represents time-series; for example, digitized ECG waveforms.
In one embodiment for carrying out the invention, each image is stored in nonvolatile storage, uncompressed, as it is captured. Subsequently, storage is checked to see whether an adaptive threshold percentage or value of storage capacity, e.g. 90 percent, has been exceeded. If the uncompressed image exceeds this threshold value, the image is compressed by a Q1 factor so that the area it covers is lower than the threshold value, and then stored in storage at this Q1 compression factor. When a new image is captured, storage is checked to see if the storage of the new image would exceed the threshold value and, if not, then the new image is stored in the uncompressed form. If the threshold value is exceeded, then existing images are recompressed by a factor of Q2 and the new image is compressed either by a factor of Q1 or Q2. This continues until the compression has reached a given Qn level. The adjusting of the compression of Q factor is described in said U.S. Pat. No. 5,677,689. Also, the adjusting of a digital camera to store at a given Q factor is well known.
With respect to the amount of compression that can be effectively utilized, it is difficult to perceive the difference between an original 11 KB image and one compressed to 2 KB. In fact, it is difficult to even perceive a difference down to about 1.5 KB. Thus, compression in excess of 6:1 and even up to about 8:1 can be achieved without the significant loss of perceived clarity of image.
This sequence, which is a signal in the form of a program or set of instructions for a computer contained on a medium, such as a magnetic disc or a semi-conductor chip, is depicted in the flow chart shown in
There are alternate modes for practicing the present invention in which the steps may be carried out in another sequence. As each image is captured, the threshold is tested. If threshold is exceeded, the quality level is reduced and all stored images are re-compressed before the current image is stored. This method is inferior in some circumstances because it requires processing before the current image is stored, which may interfere with an immediately-subsequent capture. The method depicted in
With reference to
The foregoing description of various aspects of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and obviously, many modifications and variations are possible. Such modifications and variations that may be apparent to a person skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the invention as defined by the accompanying claims.

Man with Irish accent sought in connection with racial attack on woman and daughters
Police in London are hunting two men, one with an Irish accent, in connection with an alleged racial attack on a bus.
Officers have released CCTV images in order to trace a group of men after a woman and her daughter were attacked and racially abused on a bus in Uxbridge.
Detectives from Hillingdon have released images capturing a group of five young men they would like to speak to in connection with a racially aggravated assault on a west London bus.
The incident took place a Route U1 bus on the evening of Saturday, 8 August.
At the time, the bus was on Vine Street, Uxbridge heading in the direction of West Drayton, when a 40-year-old woman - who was travelling with her two daughters - was assaulted and racially abused.
All five men boarded the bus at Crown Walk, Uxbridge at approximately 19:45hrs.
Two of the group became involved in an argument with the woman over seating arrangements which culminated in both the woman and her 16-year-old daughter being punched and racially abused by two of the men.
They did not require medical treatment for their injuries.
The two men are described as white and aged between 16 and 20 years old. One was bare-chested at the time; the other spoke with a strong Irish accent.
The woman's 11-year-old daughter was also racially abused by the men, but was not physically injured.

The journalist who broke the story of Milly Dowler's phone being hacked told yesterday how he wrestled with his conscience before deciding to publish.
Guardian writer Nick Davies said he was aware of intruding even more on the privacy of the murdered girl's family.
Mr Davies told the Leveson inquiry into press standards: "I was sure that it was a matter of public interest that should be revealed but I had some concern that publication could breach the Dowler family's privacy by exposing them to yet more publicity.
"Because the public interest element was so strong, I chose to go ahead with publication and tried to mitigate the impact on the Dowler family by sending them a detailed message via Surrey police to explain what I was doing."
Mulcaire and former News of the World royal reporter Clive Goodman were jailed in 2008 for hacking the phones of royal aides and Goodman was described by newspaper chiefs as a rogue reporter operating alone.
But it was later revealed that it was common practice at the now defunct paper and thousands of people including a string of celebrities had been hacked.
Prime Minister David Cameron ordered the Leveson inquiry after there was a public outcry over the Milly story.
Mr Davies also broke the original story that hacking was widespread after the Guardian reported that Gordon Taylor, boss of the Professional Footballers' Association, had accepted £425,000 in damages from the News of the World in damages for having his mobile phone accessed.
Mr Davies went on to write about 80 stories on phone hacking including one which said that police believed there were thousands of victims.
The inquiry continues.

Re: Robert Bloomfield., 18th Century English Poet
In reply to:
Re: Robert Bloomfield., 18th Century English Poet
neil r alexander 6/25/04
I am quoting from the family tree inherited from my late father.
Robert {the poet} (b 1766) was the son of George Bloomfield (B 1730) & Elizabeth Manby (b 1736) married 1755.
My connection to Robert is that he had a brother Isaac William (b 1761) who married Elizabeth Tilner(b 1765). They had 9 children including Isaac Bloomfield (b 1794).
I have no marriage details for Isaac but my late father's family tree shows he had a son James Isaac Bloomfield (b 1820) married Ann Hull (1843). This marriage produced a child Emma Charlotte Bloomfield (b 1850) who was my great grandmother. No other offspring are known.
Is there a connection? I do not know. My great, great, great grandfather Isaac Bloomfield was born in Honington in the 1700's, as was Robert.
It would appear that my great, great, grandfather James Isaac Bloomfield (b1820) left Suffolk for London as his daughter Charlotte was born in St Luke's, London.
I don't know that this helps you but I am willing to share what information I have

A page torn from Roper Klacks' spellbook, found in front of a rather disturbing mirror in his floating castle. This page holds clues to how to brew potions in his laboratory, but all the 'recipes' are in the form of illustrations. Once she retrieves the page from under the watchful eye of her 'evil mirror twin', April has to examine each of the alchemical essences in turn, to work out which picture corresponds to which essence.
The 'recipes' are:
Clouds + Cobwebs + Catalyst = Invisibility Potion (this is already in the book and allows April to retrieve the page)
Butterfly Wings + Clouds + Catalyst = Light-As-A-Leaf Potion
Clouds + Hot Coals + Catalyst = Wind Potion
Hot Coals + Hot Coals + Catalyst = Explosive Potion
Cobweb + Butterfly Wings + Catalyst = Magic Binding Potion
Obtained from the mirror in Klacks' castle.
