Build Log
2.4m UAV build log for AP, GIS, Photogrammetry
Hi forum, thought i would take the plunge and post my build on here, I am in the early stages of planning/building my twin boom electric uav aircraft. It will be controlled by the DIYDRONES Ardupilot Mega 2 board. I initially had my build log over on DIYD, but thought here would be a more appropriate place to get feedback on the build etc. So far I have sourced a number of materials, done some equations, drawn a lot of plans - to get to this point...
Here are the important bits of information...
Ideally i would like the plane to be able to fly the following speeds:-
12 meters per second (26.8 mph) minimum - for no wind days for good photo runs
27 meters per second (60.39mph) max for photo runs in the hills where the wind can be quite strong ~40 miles per hour sometimes. (giving around 20mph ground speed into strong wind)
Anything in this range would be good, so ideally 19.5 meters per second (43.6 mph).
Reynolds Number:
399934.08 = Chord 30cm (0.98ft) x 19.5 meters per second (43.6 mph) x 9360
RE: Chord:- The 30cm Chord & wingspan 2400mm gives an aspect ratio of 1:8. I did some basic research, and it seemed that any aircraft with an aspect ratio in the range of 1:6 - 1:10 was okay for this type of plane, so i went in the middle. Would you advise I increase it to 1:10, giving a chord of 24cm?
Wing Loading:
The wing area is 684000mm sq (7.36 sq ft)
Total Weight is going to be around 4.5kg (158.7 oz)
Wing Loading = 20.88oz per sq ft
Calculation - 158.7oz (total AUW) / 7.36sq ft (Total wing area)
From the above numbers, I guess i'd like to know how much speed i need to maintain level flight, and how much power i need to maintain level flight. The motor I have for this build is going to change. Initially i was going to use the Ultrafly F/18/10 1000KV, but i would like to calculate what i need from the motor, ie how much thrust is needed in order to buy a motor suitable for the plane.
I have the following information below..
I have the following questions:
1. What motor should i get to power the thing, I have noticed other aircraft in this size range use props in the 14 x 7 / 14 x 10 range. But not sure how to select it
2. Is the Carbon strip top and bottom of 1mm x 4mm going to be strong enough to keep the wings for snapping?
I found this thread from a link to it in the Modeling Science forum.
IMO 1x4mm carbon is not big enough for something of this size. In particular you will also want a web between the top and bottom caps of something that is more stiff than simple foam. I'd suggest that you want a stepped set of spar caps with vertical grain balsa in between as the webbing. I'd look at 1x10mm caps for full span top and bottom. And the same 1x10mm strip as "doublers" glued to the full span caps for a half span out to each side of center.
It's hyper important to provide a good distortion free web to join the top and bottom caps as well. This requires something far more crush resistant than the foam core. You'll want to use something like 3/8 balsa with the grain VERTICAL as the spacer webbing. This means that the foam cores will need to be split for a front and rear half on either side of the spar assembly.
Everyone seems to want to use thin carbon tube booms but for you. I see you're showing aluminium tube booms. But even carbon and aluminium is flexible. And the drag from the high mounted tail can produce enough flex in the booms this long to bend them down to where you lose some or all of your up elevator ability. Trust me on this. I almost lost a pod and boom 2 meter glider from this very thing by trying to get away with a small "sexy looking" boom which turned out to be too flexible.
The cure to avoid any risk of this is to make the booms either from a larger diameter tube or to build up the booms so they have more vertical depth. If you want to stick with tubing I'd suggest nothing smaller in diameter than thin wall 1 inch OD. The other option would be to stick with something like 1/2 inch OD but to use two on each side with a spacer between them to produce a boom which is about 2 inches deep at the wing's trailing edge and tapered down to the two tubes simply joined at the tail. Anything smaller in size than these two options on something as big as your design is going to be too flexible. By building up a vertical section you can achieve the stiffness needed to resist vertical bending easily. But you still want a good amount of stiffness in the horizontal direction as well so the tail section can't oscillate or whip side to side. Tubing is perfect for this aspect. But it needs to be stiff enough to handle the job. And "stiff" implies a larger diameter than your 96 gms per tube would indicate.
Note that "stiff" or "rigid" and "strong" are two totally different things. "Strong" implies a high load before final failure. "Stiff" means the tube or final structure has a low amount of deflection for small loads. In effect any structure is a spring. The key to locking the tail section alignment to the wing is to use a very "stiff spring" so that the flight loads do not cause the wing and tail to flex out of their designed angular relationship by more than a minimal and tolerable amount.
For a model of the size you're considering I would suggest that if you secure a meter or yard long tube to your table and hang a 2 lb weight at the end that the tube should not flex down more than about 1/4 inch. Ideally it should be less. If it flexes more than 1/4 inch over that length with that much weight I'd suggest to you that it is not suitable as a structural tail boom for a model of this sort of size.
One further point. I would suggest that you want to resize and reangle the tails so that you obtain a Vertical Tail Volume Coefficient that is on the high side of acceptable. A long nose pod and boom style construction of this sort has a long and large nose with virtually no compensating fuselage side area behind the CG. It thus becomes part of the vertical tail area's job to overcome the destabilizing forces created by the generous side area of the pod which is located in front of the CG. My TLAR senses tell me that you do not have enough effective fin area.
Cheers for the advice...
I am not sure exactly what you mean by 'webbing' between the top and bottom reinfocement balsa pieces. If I slice the wing down the fat part (CG line). And glue in a thick piece of spruce stripwood the entire length of the wing, that should provide enought strength. I have already done this on a similar sized wing that was a one piece 2400mm wing. I will post pictures later showing the wing, and maybe i can use that. The joins between the outer wing panels and center wing are the problem area for me - how far should the joining tube go into the outer wing panel?
Another question regarding the booms, I guess the tail is potentially going to be 400g (ish including booms, surfaces and servos). Therefore When the aircraft is standing on the floor, the tail will drop and twist the wing towards the rear. How do you suggest I reinforce the center wing section so this doesn't happen?
I bought 10mm x 10mm alloy square tubing yesterday to lay into the wing center section at chord and 1/3rd from trailing edge, I would also lay this tube 30cm into the outer panels - then put a carbon tube of 1m length through the center section at chord and 1/3rd from trailing edge. I will post a picture tonight as what i have described sounds a bit difficult to visualise!
I take on board about what you are saying regarding the strength of the booms - I may change them for these 16mm booms. I did try bending them in the shop and they seemed to be very strong. I thought the 12mm dia tubes were okay, but the last thing I want is poor elevator response!
Tail surface
If the tail surface is going to cause yaw problems in its current size, I may reduce the height of the fuselage, from 150mm, to 120mm. As i dont need all that height in the fuse. would that be okay? It would reduce the fuse side by 800 x 300 = 240 sq cm.
Update - some pictures
Hi all - Some pics - comments on pics.. easier that way....
One thing i didnt mention is that I will be running cables to each wing tip, including
I have got lightweight U shape plastic ducting to embed in the wing. I will leave the exposed side on the underside, and use duct tape to cover cabling once inserted.
Wing is in pretty beat up condition, it is from a previous project.
Next steps - get large diameter booms - source 2 x 8mm ext dia 1000mm Carbon tube for wings.
I'll try to comment on how I understand what you're doing following each part from your post above. My comments being in blue;

First off the CG is not always located at the point of maximum thickness. It's simply a non related coincidence that this often occurs. To best find where you should place the CG it's wise to use a CG calculator. There's a couple of them online which are a google away if you use the terms "cg calculator".
If you look at a steel I beam there's a top and bottom cap and a vertical WEB in between. The strongest and lightest spars we can build for our models typically try to model the classic steel I beam but in wood or carbon. So what is often done in high load situations is to use a FLAT top and bottom cap and then add a separating web in between so the top and bottom can't "slide" relative to each other or allow the top cap to collapse inward toward the lower cap. The loads in an I beam are that the top is heavily in compression, the bottom heavily in tension and the web inbetween is supporting a diagonal shear load as well as being under compression as the top cap wants to collapse inward and meet the bottom cap. We size the top and bottom and webbing, often called the "shear webbing" for reasons you can now appreciate, to best resist these loads and the webbing to fully support the top and bottom caps. That help out?
With this in mind you should now be able to see that your vertical slab spruce spar is not too bad but it's not putting the wood where it can do the most good. On a rectuangular blade like this you still have a top and bottom cap and a web. But due to the shape the caps are not very wide. The upper and lower 15'ish% of the vertical spar you added become the compressed and streched load bearing caps. The part in the middle becomes the shear web. The caps do not have a lot of cross section area in this case while the shear web portion is quite over done for the amount it has to handle. That's why we typically go for wider flat oriented upper and lower caps. It puts more of the material out at the edges where it can do the most good. Then we support the material in the caps with a web.
An excellent spar system is the one used on Mark Drela's Allegro Lite. It's well worth checking it out to read about the wing development in terms of structure.
It uses a full width vertical balsa web to fully support stout carbon caps. This is a wing which can tolerate the strongest winch launch producing a line pull of likely up around 120 to 150 lbs of tension. Yeah, it's overkill for your needs. But don't sell short the sort of loads your spar may need to carry. For example, your target weight is 4.5Kg. That's hardly a lot for a model of this size. But what happens when you go into a 45 degree banked turn? The apparent weight doubles to 9Kg. And what if you get into a dive and sudden pullup to recover? The G load for that could be as high as 5 or 6. So suddenly your spar is being told to hold itself against a 22.5 to 27Kg apparent weight. See why it's wise to over design your wing spar?
The spruce spar you used is great for the outer panels and while I would be a LITTLE worried on the inner panels the alloy tubes you're planning on inletting will easily take care of that. It's a bit overkill in terms of weight but it will certainly be strong enough.
Now if you had gone with spruce or rectangular carbon caps with a vertical web between similar to your blade style spar so it forms a spar similar in look to a steel I beam then you would not need the aluminium tubes through the center.
Another question regarding the booms, I guess the tail is potentially going to be 400g (ish including booms, surfaces and servos). Therefore When the aircraft is standing on the floor, the tail will drop and twist the wing towards the rear. How do you suggest I reinforce the center wing section so this doesn't happen?
I bought 10mm x 10mm alloy square tubing yesterday to lay into the wing center section at chord and 1/3rd from trailing edge, I would also lay this tube 30cm into the outer panels - then put a carbon tube of 1m length through the center section at chord and 1/3rd from trailing edge. I will post a picture tonight as what i have described sounds a bit difficult to visualise!
I'm not sure why you're using the two items. Is this to allow cutting through the aluminium to allow the outer panels to be removed for transport? Otherwise there's no need to use both.
Since you're adding sub spars if you arrange the tail booms so that they are secured to BOTH the front and rear sub spars the sub spars should support your tail boom weight and avoid the wing twisting as you're worried about.
If you didn't have the sub spars but you had a really stout I beam pattern main spar I'd suggest epoxy glassing the center out to the booms using some 4 oz cloth and epoxy laminaint resin with the cloth weave biased to a 45 degree diagonal. This would convert the center area of the wing where the glassing was done into a rather strong and stiff but still reasonably light airfoil shaped torsion box design. It would easily withstand the bending loads from the overhung weight or any flight loads. But with your current plans it's not needed. Now if you DO try it on some future model be sure to build in a couple of plywood ribs at the boom locations to aid in transferring the high point loads of the boom attachement out into more of the glass skin and underlying foam. Glass and foam can be very strong but only when it deals with the loads over a large area. So you need to ensure you have "hard points" that take point loads and spread them out. Think of these hard points as snowshoes. They are intended to take the load of the "feet" and spread them out over more snow or foam so the man or attached part doesn't crush the snow or foam.
I take on board about what you are saying regarding the strength of the booms - I may change them for these 16mm booms. I did try bending them in the shop and they seemed to be very strong. I thought the 12mm dia tubes were okay, but the last thing I want is poor elevator response!
The tubing you linked to appears to be the typical soft home handyman type stuff. If I'm correct I'd seriously suggest you find a source of aircraft grade aluminium tubing for this or switch to a big section thinwall carbon tubing. The typical home hardware store stuff is not able to spring far without taking on a permanent bend. And that's the last thing you want. On the other hand a 6961-T4 or 6061-T6 aircraft alloy tube will easily withstand being bent a good 4 to 5 inches to the side and still spring back. And it's stiffer to resist the bending loads as well.
I outlined what I thought was a reasonable test based on my experience at almost losing my own model due to tail boom flex. The tubes you're looking at may or may not pass this test. But even if they are STIFF enough I would worry about them actually being flexed beyond their permanent bend point and not springing back. You're putting too much time and effort and money worth of equipment into this to risk disaster due to improper metalurgy.
Tail surface
If the tail surface is going to cause yaw problems in its current size, I may reduce the height of the fuselage, from 150mm, to 120mm. As i dont need all that height in the fuse. would that be okay? It would reduce the fuse side by 800 x 300 = 240 sq cm.
You're only looking at cutting down the side area by a small %. There's an amount of guess work in this based on my past but my "Spidey" senses are telling me that the vertical area needs to just about double to deal with the long and deep nose area even with a nose reduction.
To aid in getting a feel for this on your own look up "handley page halifax images". The early Halifax used swept back leading edge fins. It had a hunting tendency. They cured this by switching to a larger area simple rectangular fin. And to my eyes your model looks much worse than the early small fin Halifax. ESPECIALLY when you figure that your design has essentially zero side area to the fuselage behind the CG. If you look around at other designs you'll get a similar feel to all this. For example look at the fin area used on an "edgley optica images" in google.
Hopefully I haven't rained on your parade TOO heavily.... I thought it best to pull the rug out from under you now rather than wait to read about some disaster at the flying field.
There's an option that a lot of new designers seem to not want to use. And that is a small scale test glider. For example if you were to make up a simple small cut foam free flying test glider of around 24 inch span from your scrap foam and angle the outer wings up for about 1 inch of dihedral per side you could use such a glider to see if it has yaw issues. Also you could experiement with the suggested CG location provided by the online calculators to see how stable or unstable it is. But mostly it would give you more of a feel for the size of the vertical tail area to deal with the big forward side area of the pod. With a glider that has the sort of dihedral I suggeseted you should be able to toss it out into a 45 degree banked turn and the return to level flight should be smooth, take a while and not have ANY signs of whipping around to turn in the other direction. From a shoulder height launch with no stall I would want to just see it return to level or nearly so from a banked launch with the wings at 45 degrees bank. If you can tune your design to do this it should prove out to be a delight to fly the full size version.
If it tend to not recover to almost level from such a launch or winds in without even trying then you have too MUCH vertical tail area. If it recovers fast and whips past level or even suggests that it wants to snap roll before touchdown then you have too little. If it's a violent sort of response then you have WAY too little.

Now that's what i call feedback... thanks!
Hi BMatthews.. Cheers for the info, haven't quoted it as I think the post would be rather large!
Wing and COG
I have certainly learnt a lot from what you have said, and will do my very best to include it into my current build. Regarding COG and thickest point of wing. this wing came from a previous aircraft i built a few years ago, and i remember the COG being at the thickest part of the wing, and it flew quite well....Is the COG always in the same spot for the wing, or does it take into account the nose and tail to determine its location?
I now understand what webbing is and get the concept, I would probably do it as you have suggested with a large 'I beem' and thinner webbing in future to reduce weight. I also understand what yo are saying regarding diagonal shear load. Hopefully the spruce will be okay, just a bit heavy. and should hold up in high G manouvers! 27kg is a lot - I may fiber glass over the top of the alloy rods and certainly connect them to the spruce in the outer wing panels, otherwise I can see the wings snapping at the end of the Alloy square tubes.
To clarify, I am using the alloy square tubes to maintain a clean channel in the wings, so that I may easily remove the outer wing panels for transport. The Carbon spa will go through the length of the alloy tubes for flight. the 2 carbon spas inside the alloy tubes are 8mm dia tubes, 2mm wall thickness, these seem pretty strong. My only concern is transferring the load between the alloy tubes and the spruce in the alloy wing panels.
I will ensure I secure the tail to the two alloy booms to avoid center wing section twist - I have attached a visual of how i plan to build the boom joiner boxes, basically two wing profiles with two thick blocks of wood holdings them together, with a large dia tube glued in (not on visual) to slide the booms into.
I think I will have to invest in some decent woven carbon tubes - 16mm dia for the booms, as i don't want to risk the alloy bending -Found them for ~£15 each here. It says they are pullwound. Does that mean pulltruded or woven? Any ideas?
Tail surface
I have looked at the reference photos you have supplied, and they do indeed show a considerably larger amount of tail surface. I may extend the tail surfaces length ways, and keep the angle the same (110 degrees)
Is there a rule of thumb for v tail surface area? I have read that the elev surface should be no less than 15 percent of total wing area.
I am certainly glad I am discovering this stuff out now, and would much rather change the direction of my design slightly in favour of having a mid air break up! I have actually thought of making a small flying rc scale model of this to test it. my main issue is the wing profiles, I need to get them sized and cut by a chap in Scotland - which is quite a timely and costly process.
i may not have commented on all your feedback, but i will certainly read it over and over until i understand everything!
I have also attached some refined measurements - excluding tail change,
The tail will need some careful consideration, as Yaw stability is certainly an advantage!
I will post an update after the weekends progress - I am taking delivery of a scroll saw today to help cut the wing boxes - can't use a conventional coping saw!

If you're at all worried about the spar there is a possible fix you could do on this model. It would involve sanding or routering out a groove along the top and bottom following the spar. Then simply glue in some carbon spar caps. I don't know who sells such things over your way but what you'd be looking for is something like 1 or 1.5mm x 8 to 10mm wide flat strip.
The CG location is not determined by the wing. Or rather the wing is only part of it.
Look at http://adamone.rchomepage.com/cg_calc.htm . You'll see all the factors such as the wing area, chord, tail length stab area and chord and other factors that go into calculating the stability of any given model.
Foam is very poor at carrying hard structural loads. For this reason it would be best if your front joiner tube were to be located so it gets glued directly to the spar on one side. For the rear it would be nice if the wing joint faces were hardened up with 3mm aircraft plywood. The plywood would spread out the point loads produced by the tube trying to flex within the foam. Your one hand drawn sketch makes it appear that you're already intending to do something of the sort and incorporate the tail boom mounts along with this. If I'm seeing that right then nicely done.
Large diameter woven carbon tubes can push the cost of a project like this up there fast. One option to look at is to check golf shops in your area that do up custom clubs. You may find that a pair of used carbon driver shafts will provide you with the sort of strong and stiff tail booms that you're after. I've got a shaft of this sort here and it's more than adequitely stiff and definetly strong enough and, of course, has a proven resistance to frequent short term shock loads....
All you need to do for changing the vertical area is to alter the V angle of the tail. There is nothing magical about the 110 degree angle so often used. It's just that 110 is what works out well enough for a regular style of glider fuselage and for many of the regular type of power planes. But your big pod with two skinny booms is simply not a "regular" sort of fuselage side area distribution. So the side area you do have is pretty much 95% a destabilizing area instead of being about 40% destabilizing in front of the CG and 60% stabilizing behind the CG such as found on normal style fuselages. To compensate for this you need to get a lot more vertical tail area.
But by the same token you don't really want to move to a V angle of tighter than about 85 degrees or you'll get more drag from the acute angled joint. Personally if it were my project I'd look at simply giving up on the inverted V tail and go with dual fins and a flat stabilizer. It would prove to be both easier to produce a stronger stabilizer since there's no center joint and you can size up the fins and rudders to provide the sort of vertical tail area you need.
Yes, 15% is a nice general tail size. In particular when it's joined with a fairly long tail moment such as you're using. But if you insist on using an inverted V tail than I would suggest you need to first alter the angle to 90 and then increase the span and chord of the tail up to a projected area from above of 20% of the wing area. This will increase the vertical area to what should be enough to groove well.
Again, I'd strongly suggest that a quick and dirty foam and sheet balsa test glider will soon tell you about all this for not a lot of effort. For this sort of testing the small test model does not need all the trimmings. No need for landing gear or a motor mount. All you need is a block of foam sanded roughly to the shape of the big pod, wings cut from foam or sheet balsa, dowels or some other straight but reasonably strong and stiff sticks and depron or sheet balsa tail surfaces. You can learn much about your design with such a simple glider. And when you're all done it's sort of slick to have it hanging on display over your work area....
Hi Forum,
first of all .. @BMatthews - thanks for the second round of feedback, I am taking it all in and factoring it into the design process
The Center of gravity calculator looks fairly complex - I understand most of the number inputs, and i believe they are as follows (attached is the drawing with measurements attached)
Wing Root Chord (A): 315mm
Wing Tip Chord (B): 315mm
Wing Sweep Distance (S): 0
Wing Half Span (Y): 1100mm
Stabiliser Root Chord (AA): 112mm
Stabiliser Tip Chord (BB): 112mm
Stabiliser Sweep Distance (SS): 0
Stabiliser Half Span (YY): 255mm
Distance between both LE's (D): 1048mm
Stabiliser Efficiency*: ??? unsure on this one
When cutting the grooves for the two alloy tubes (before starting this thread), I did wonder if i should have stuck an alloy tube right next to the spa. I may gouge out the polystyrene between and put some spruce in there to transfer the load.
I have already tried the local golf shops for carbon shafts but to no avail. Ordered the 16mm o/d tubes 1.5mm wall from woolmer composites.
I am going to take your advice and alter angle of V tail to 90 degrees - and maybe double the length. The maths is the part I struggle with, so will probably pick back up on it once i have completed the fuse and wings!
As I wont be able to get wings for a small quick and dirty glider, I may make one out of balsa and traditional construction. The scroll saw is amazing and reduces building cuttign time massively!
A few pictures...
I didn't really notice from the drawings but your ailerons are MASSIVE for the sort of performance that such a model would expect. Go real easy on the amount of aileron deflection angle or you'll have something that handles more like a fun fly model...
There's no need to go overboard and double anything. All you need is to shift to a 90 degree angle and MAYBE increase the chord by an additional 10 to 15 %. If you did that then I don't forsee any issues at all with either the horizontal or vertical tail area equivalency.
For a quick and dirty test glider flat plate balsa or something equally bend resistant is fine.
The surface of the wings is pretty rough looking. Also judging by the red stripe on the leading edge I gather you're considering not using any outer covering. If so I have a couple of suggestions.
First off fill in the waves and grooves with some light weight wall filler compound. You'll know you have the right product when you lift up the plastic tub it comes in and the container feels empty. Trowel it on to fill the wire cut grooves and then sand down to smoothen out the airfoil shape. You can also use the same filler in the joint rib gaps seen in the second picture of your last post. The stuff I'm talking about isn't all that much heavier than the foam you're replacing.
Then when you have smooth wings you will want to find some clean newsprint to varnish onto the foam to act as a stiffening skin. Movers use this sort of newsprint to wrap up dishes and glasses with when packing for a move. Check around for a moving supply outlet which has this same newsprint paper. To "dope" it down to the foam I suggest you use some of the now common water based emulsion varnish. To skin the wings cut the paper slightly oversize and then soak it in water. Varnish the foam with the Water Based Poly Urethane (WBPU) varnish and while it's still "milky" looking lay on the newsprint. Brush a little more over the paper and work it into the paper well. Do BOTH sides of each panel within a short time and stand up where air can freely reach both sides to dry. Otherwise it can shrink a warp into the panel. But if both sides dry evenly you'll be fine. Overlap at the leading and trailing edges by about an inch
Even this single layer will add a huge amount of torsional stiffness to the foam. And a wing can never be TOO stiff at resisting twisting in flight. And given the weight expectation of your project you definetly want a torsionally stiff wing. Not to mention that it'll greatly improve the surface finish of your model as well as reducing the drag of the final airframe over what the surface of the raw foam provides.

The Ailerons are pretty big, they seemed to work ok when this wing was used for a previous plane - Video of prev plane at the end of this post...
I may glue in the current ailerons and re-cut them to allow for a more efficient wing shape.
Understood about tail size and angle - I will re-draw on plans and order the tail section from my wing cutter - as well as a wing for the smaller test glider.
Great minds think alike - I have already been using Polyfilla Onefill ultra lightweight filler for the wings - I have managed to smooth it over a small portion of the inner wing to test - before using on the main wing surface. It seems to fill small gaps well - however i did try using it to fill in the large damaged area on the damaged root of the outer wing panel, and it seems to crumble - So i am going to cut out a foam block and stick in and cut to shape.
I am going to the store today to try and find some of that paper you speak of - One question though, I would like this airframe to be heavy rain proof. I have though about how to waterproof most of the components yet still allow airflow to the motor and esc and batteries. Is water based varnish water proof? If not i was thinking of using oracover or monokote.
I would like to add some torsional stiffness to the wing so option A would be best using the varnish and paper.
Currently focusing on the wing/boom joiner boxes - I replaced the 12mm dia booms with larger 16mm dia booms.I am finding it difficult to source 16mm internal dia tube for the 16mm booms to slot into, thinking of getting some slightly larger plastic pipe, cutting a section out, and using a jubilee clip on it to secure the booms in place. Once the wing/boom joiner boxes are complete, I will move onto finishing the wings. Will post pics as and when...
Cheers - Rich

Underworld Murder Trial Witness Recants Original Testimony
The Tel Aviv District Court yesterday declared Hila Bronner a hostile witness in a murder trial stemming from a brawl outside a Shefayim nightclub three years ago.
Cousins Francois and Avi Abutbul are charged with killing Ra'anan Levy; two other people are charged with lesser offenses in the case.
The court declared Bronner hostile after she retracted her original testimony to the police. That testimony - that one of Levy's friends had "made a remark" about Rosalee Attiya, the girlfriend of Avi's brother Amir - had helped establish a motive for the fight that led to Levy's death. Bronner is a friend of one of the men's girlfriends.
Attiya, who also testified yesterday, denied Levy or any of his friends had hit on her.
According to the indictment, a brawl took place on December 18, 2004, between two groups of young people who had come to the nightclub. At some point during the fight, Amir Abutbul called his brother Avi and his cousin Francois and asked them to come to his aid. The two did so, accompanied by two other friends, Assaf Ben David and Shai Makhlouf. When they arrived, Levy's gang tried to flee, but the four pursued Levy in their jeep and eventually cornered him. At that point, Francois allegedly got out and stabbed Levy in the chest and leg.
During yesterday's hearing, Bronner denied her original police statement, claiming that she had been pressured into making it. By declaring her a hostile witness, the court gave itself the option of relying on her police testimony, should it be found more credible than her courtroom testimony.
Attiya testified that while several people said Levy or his friends had made offensive remarks to her, this was untrue. Asked why, if so, Bronner had told the police that someone from Levy's gang did make lewd remarks to her, Attiya said Bronner had lied because the police threatened her.
Attorney David Yiftach, who represents Francois Abutbul, said afterward that yesterday's testimony by Bronner and Attiya had weakened the prosecution's case, as the claim that Levy's friends had insulted Attiya was important to establishing a motive for the murder. The key testimony in the case, given by Avi Abutbul's girlfriend Re'ut Reuven, was based on what she heard from Avi about the event, Yiftach explained, and because it is hearsay evidence, it cannot be used against Francois unless other evidence, such as testimony by Bronner and Attiya, supports it.

A glove containing force sensors has been built as a prototype of tactile sensor arrays to be worn on human hands and anthropomorphic robot hands. Whereas the force sensors of a prior force-sensing glove are mounted on the outside, the force sensors of this glove are mounted inside, in protective pockets; as a result of this and other design features, the present glove is more durable. The sensors, which cost only $3 apiece (2002), produce analog force readings in the range of 0 to 5 lb (0 to 22 N) at numerous locations across the hand.
To minimize false readings due to internal glove motions and/or tight fit of the glove on the hand, the pockets are constructed as recesses within modular foam inserts that are sewn into the glove. High-friction material provides good gripping surfaces for finger and palm contact areas. Textile stiffeners on the backsides of the sensors prevent deformation of the foam during motion. To ensure that forces are directed into the sensors and
not channeled through the relatively stiff gripping-surface material, stiff plastic beads are sewn in place between the sensors and the outer glove fabric.
This work was done by Melissa Butzer of Oceaneering Space Systems, Myron A. Diftler of Lockheed Martin Corp., and Eric Huber of Metrica, Inc., for Johnson Space Center.

Sun coverage
IMG Academy of Florida showed up at the wrong time to play Findlay College Prep late Saturday afternoon at the Henderson International School.
Ticked that his Pilots had given up at least 90 points in two of their first three games, Pilots coach Mike Peck vowed that there would be a clamp down.
There was, to the tune of a 113-50 victory by Findlay.
The defending national-champion Pilots blistered IMG by turning 19 first-half turnovers into 27 points, and that hound-dog defense set the tone for the wipeout.
At the intermission, Findlay held a 58-21 advantage.
"I told them at the half that if we could bottle that up and keep it forever, I'd buy at any price," Peck said. "I feel very good now about going to Peoria for three games."
Even in the final minutes, Peck and his staff rose to their feet and clapped exuberantly when one of his players forced a Panther to travel or forced a five-second call.
He didn't improve to 69-1 in three seasons as Findlay's boss by not knowing what's around the corner – trips to Peoria, and Boston and Fort Myers, Fla., in the next few weeks.
With seven of his 10 players new, Peck needs them to buckle down on defense for some top talent coming up, and they responded.
Two of those newcomers, however, have been pacing the Pilots in scoring and they continued to do so Saturday.
Junior guards Jabari Brown (23 points) and Nick Johnson (18 points) led Findlay, and power forward Tristan Thompson added 15.
Standout senior guard Cory Joseph tallied 13 points, but his biggest play of the day might have come in the morning.
Johnson scored only four points Friday against Princeton Country Day of New Jersey, and Joseph counseled him a bit over breakfast about the only statistic that matters – the victory.
The defensive effort shaved Findlay's average yield from 88 points to 78. The Pilots have hit triple digits, averaging 123, in all four of their games this season.

I am a Jeweler and I am simply amazed by the structure, form and beauty they exibit. I was shocked, when I could not find much info on them in local librarys. since then I found this sight and it has been most helpful. At the moment I am designing a pendent, and I need to collect some pictures to base it off of. If anyone catches a snapshot of their pet that they think has the potential to hang around a neck I would love to see it. My goal is to capture an image that is realistic to the Octo's behavior and natural movement. SO much that I see in the art and creative world represent them in an unothentic maner....only paying attention to the arms. They always seem so cartoon like. I need to be more educated on the physical structure.........like most art....in order to create a believeable image the artist must first understand the structure under the skin.

Letters from Carol Rollman, Gary W. Summers and Thomas Kincaid
Why close Winter Park Memorial thrift store?
The Winter Park Memorial Hospital Auxiliary White Elephant Thrift Store is closing, and 31 volunteers are asking why. We know that Publix is expanding and will be tearing down our building in the Aloma Plaza, but why, after 27 years of being a source of income and volunteer service for the Winter Park Memorial Hospital, was the decision made to close the store, even though another building was available. During these years, thousands of dollars have been made for hospital projects, improvements, scholarships and various needs of the hospital.
Why now, with the economy like it is and the community needing stores such as ours, would the hospital close it down? The monies we made did help the hospital and the community by being there for the people. The 31 volunteers are dedicated ladies that have formed friendships throughout the years with a wonderful store that has served the community well and helped many who were in need and unable to pay.
We feel that the Winter Park Hospital fails to realize just what the White Elephant Thrift Store and its volunteers have done for the hospital and the community after all these years.

Jepson stacks the deck on religion
Chris Jepson blasted God again in his March 4 column, "Satan as a Card Dealer," in the Observer by exalting the devil. He quotes Samuel Butler who laments that, since God has written all the books; mankind has only heard one side of the story. (Is Satan illiterate?) God's Book is only of value, however, if read. The devil can in no way match God's power, though he can inflict great damage. He was the first to realize and take advantage of free will — to realize that the choice to obey God also opens the door to rebellion, which many prefer.
Epicurus' error has been answered many times, but some have not read those books either. A diet of skepticism seldom yields wisdom. Could God prevent evil? He could — but only at the expense of our free will. God is unwilling to eradicate all evil at the moment of its inception because the devil and all of us would have been destroyed long ago. Furthermore, no one would ever have a chance to learn from mistakes, repent, or make positive changes. God is not malevolent to allow the existence of evil because it provides us the means of deciding our future. God knew from the beginning what man's choices would be. For that reason Jesus was slain from the foundation of the world. God Himself has paid an enormous price for allowing us freedom. Epicurus and Jepson have confused Earth with heaven, where no evil will exist. Those who dwell there forever will enjoy a sin-free environment.
Is Satan a mere "fall guy"? The devil has never made anyone sin, but he does know how to manipulate, spin, twist and distort circumstances to his own advantage. He excels in making sin look attractive, but we are still drawn away by our own lusts. We bear the blame for our decisions.
Mark Twain was a brilliant humorist, but did he say with a straight face that Satan "hasn't a single salaried helper"? Really? Do those who traffic in illegal drugs do it for free? Are there no paychecks for those in Hollywood who encourage young people to use crude speech and engage in acts of fornication? Sin ministries are big business. Even writers of books and newspaper columnists have been known to receive remuneration for their efforts.
Many claiming to be Christians serve in the devil's camp. As the old story goes, a man was on the way to a costume party dressed as what many people imagine the devil to look like (orange suit, horns, etc.). A sudden storm arose, and he ran for cover from the rain. He slipped into a church building just as lightning struck and the power flickered. People suddenly saw him and began to scream and scatter — except for one elderly man, who stood his ground and confided, "I just want you to know that I've been a member of this church for 40 years, but I've been on your side the whole time." Likewise, some "clergy" now champion fornication, adultery and many other sins —contrary to the Word of God.
Those who want to know God should read His Book instead of listening to those who claim to represent Him. The Bereans did not even take Paul's preaching as truth until they searched the Scriptures. Paul also encouraged brethren to prove or test all things. Lumping all or even most religious leaders together with the one Jepson cited is nothing more than the logical fallacy of "hasty generalization," which he surely knows. Talk about stacking the deck!

Identifying the silent killer
Can you imagine if everyone in the state of Florida walked around with a disease called "the silent killer" — and didn't know it? Or if every single resident in New York and California were at high risk for developing this "silent killer?"
Nearly 6 million Americans are unaware they have diabetes. Look around you. One in five Americans is at risk for Type 2 diabetes. Could one of them be someone you love?
For many people with Type 2 diabetes, diagnosis may come years after onset. Yet, early diagnosis is critical to delay or prevent the debilitating complications such as heart disease, blindness, kidney disease, stroke and amputation.
What can you do to stop diabetes? Know your risk.
Tuesday, March 23 is American Diabetes Association Alert Day. Discover your risk for Type 2 diabetes — and join the movement to stop this terrible disease — by visiting stopdiabetes.com or by calling 800-DIABETES.
It's time to stop this silent killer once and for all.

Rafa Benitez handed huge injury blow: Toon will be without star strikers for Brighton game
The Serb, however, lasted just 38 minutes of his comeback game before coming off after an aerial clash.
And Gayle fared little better, replacing Mitrovic but then going off himself after taking a whack in the head.
Benitez did receive some good news today with two-goal Ayoze Perez, another of Newcastle's walking wounded in midweek, being declared fit for the Brighton game.
Perez sported a bandage after picking up a cut on his ear but has reported no ill-effects.

" Hipp-a-bisc is a brand new breakfast from Hipp Organic which is made of wholegrain wheat and contains less than half the sugar of standard wheat-biscuit brands. Unlike similar breakfast cereals made with adults in mind; Hipp-a-bisc also meets the strict guidelines concerning pesticide levels for baby foods; as well as containing low sodium levels which are appropriate for babies; making it a perfect healthy meal option from age 6 months to 3 years plus. / Food quality: Organic food "
I love Hipp-a-bisc
When my baby decided recently that he did not want to drink his milk anymore and wanted food i had to try alternatives to give him to get him to drink his milk!!
I was shopping in asda when i came accross this product. It was priced at 0.99p which i thought was resonable as you got quite a few inside and lasted quite a while.
As normal weetabix do, the hipp-a-bisc soaked up the milk and if you left it for a few minutes it went all mushy. I tried this with my baby and he borked, he did not like the taste at all, i tried again and again and he soon got used to the new taste.
As this as a cereal was quite bland i started to add tastes to it. i.e. mashed banana and he loves it, a great way to give your baby an each day is to add different fruit, and its all for a really resonable price.
Hipp-a-bisc is made of wholegrain wheat and contains less than half the sugar of standard wheat-biscuit brands, it is specially designed for children, it has low sodium levels unlike some.
Hipp-a-bisc is designed for children from 6months - 3years and above.
You can buy Hipp-a-bisc from the Hipp website for only £7.99 where you can get 6 large 180g boxes (each box contains 12 biscuites) and have them delivered straight to your door. You can also buy them in most supermarkets.
Have fun xxx
On the lookout for some new varieties of breakfast for my little man I came across this new product in my supermarket. Hipp-a-Bisc or as they are called in my house, baby weetabix!
The box is yellow and green in colour with the logo across the middle in blue lettering. There is also a picture of one of the biscuits. The Hipp Organic logo is on the front as well.
On the back of the box there is loads of useful information to be found such as contents, nutritional information and information about Hipp organic.
On the sides of the box you will find the mixing guide and best before dates.
The contents are in a white plastic packaging and there are 12 biscuits inside this.
NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION - per biscuit
50 Kcal
1.7g Protein
9.8g Carbohydrate
0.3g of which sugar
0.4g fat
0.1g of which saturates
1.7g fibre
0.03g sodium
Organic wheat
Organic malt
This product does contain gluten
Place one of the biscuits into a clean bowl and add approximately 100ml of your babies usual milk, slight warmed if required. Using a clean spoon mix the biscuit with the milk and you will see it breaking up and softening. I have personally found that leaving the biscuit to soak will make this process much easier.
If you find the mixture too thick for your baby then you can add more milk.
It did take a few days for my little man to take to these which was quite unusual as he loves his food but I think it was just because they were a completely new texture for him. Now he is used to them he loves them.
They are a very healthy option for your child as they are totally organic and very low in fat and sugar.
I was really persuaded to try this product not because it was organic but because they were on offer for £1 a box which I thought was excellent value. I really cannot imagine what price they will be after the offer so I have stocked up now as they do have a long shelf life.
To me they have the same look and appearance in texture as normal adult weetabix, only smaller in size. I personally have not tasted these so I cannot comment on the taste, sorry!
They are designed and suitable for any baby from the age of 6 months up to 3 years which is very good as by that age he can start having proper ones so he will still be getting a good source of fibre every morning.
The only problem I have found with these is that once the inner packet is opened there is no way of resealing it to keep the contents fresh, but the box does have a closable slit in the side which helps slightly.
This new product has been made by Hipp and has the Organic Certificate logo on the side of the packaging. It is also low in sugar, contains no artificial additives and is suitable for vegetarians
If you would like more information about this or any Hipp product then you can find it on their web site at www.hipp.co.uk
this is great my son loves it and it helps to regulate him too! i add some other flavours from dried breakfasts as the taste can be a bit bland but my son loves it either way. shame i cant buy it in any shop. only shop i have found is tesco! and i shop asda and sainsburys too.that is the only down side

Ben briefly reviewed this device last year, but the PR company was nice enough to send me a trial unit of a newer version, and since I'm on an extended trip, I gave it a go. It's small, light, carries an 1800mAh battery charge, and it has a laser on one end. What more could you want from a add-on travel battery?
RichardSolo is the current effort started by Richard Thalheimer--as you may or may not know was the founder behind the Sharper Image--which used to sell gadgety stuff via SkyMall and even brick and morter stores before closing up shop last year. I admit to having purchased more than a few of their products or getting them as presents and generally liking them. I still felt some of the stuff was a little pricey for the durability and quality, but they did fill a certain niche when it came to travel-related goodies.

Sign up to iPhone Life's Tip of the Day Newsletter and we'll send you a tip each day to save time and get the most out of your iPhone or iPad.
The 1800 is a bit like those other products I have from Sharper Image. It has clever features, is perfect for travel, but seems a little light in it's construction. When I travel for extended periods, I go with a lot of tech gear, and my trips sometimes include modes of travel (say a cargo plane) that I need a bit more rugged stuff that can stand getting banged around. This battery does not seem as sturdy as my trusty Power2Go (from Black and Decker), but it is lighter and smaller (see my travel charge options below). Of course, I also pack along a Yogen Charger... The Yogen is great for recharging my gear (even my add-on batteries) without having any external power source at all (just pull on the cord for several minutes). You get a workout, and can power up as well... You never know when you might need some manually powered juice while on the go.
Some of the improved aspects are in adding a mini-USB dongle and cable to the original 1800. The RichardSolo 1800 is not too over the top pricey at $69 (you can find other add-on batteries for more and less), but does sport unique features and a small footprint. The unit comes with car charger, standard outlet plug (with USB port), and cable for iPhone/iPod. You can use it to charge up your iPod or iPhone (worked with my touch and Nano), or shine a light into dark places (like a night flight down under). You can also charge your unit whilst having it plugged in (it charges up your iPhone, then charges itself). Check it out here...

North Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) July 05, 2013
Gum disease, tooth decay, trauma, tooth loss and even the mere process of aging can substantially alter a smile, but the right dental treatments can help patients get back on the road to good dental health. Dr. Bijan Afar, dentist in North Hollywood, is now offering complimentary consultations for select dental treatments to help patients learn more about their options.
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment for both teens and adults. A complimentary Invisalign consultation gives patients the opportunity to learn about Invisalign and discover if it is right for them. Invisalign uses clear plastic trays to move teeth into the correct position. The trays are almost invisible when worn, which allows patients to enjoy the ultimate in discretion, and they are removable so that patients can continue to clean their teeth and eat without making any substantial changes to their daily routines.
Dr. Afar, North Hollywood dentist, also offers complimentary consultations for Lumineers. Lumineers are a special type of porcelain veneer that can be placed without altering the natural teeth. While porcelain veneers generally require at least a small amount of enamel reduction or reshaping, Lumineers can be placed directly over teeth, which results in a reversible enhancement that eliminates the risk of sensitivity. Although Lumineers are extremely thin, they are quite durable and can last 20 years or longer.
Other cosmetic and restorative procedures are also available. North Hollywood dentist, Dr. Afar, has a multi-specialty boutique-style dental office that offers general and routine dentistry services, including root canal treatments, porcelain crowns, periodontal treatments, dental implants, dentures, dental bridges and dental surgery. Cosmetic services, including teeth whitening and porcelain veneers, are also available.
About Dr. Bijan Afar
Dr. Afar is a premier dentist and internationally recognized expert in dental implants and periodontology. He attended UCLA's School of Dentistry, where he graduated among the top 5 percent of his class. After completing his studies in periodontics and oral implantology at the University of Washington in Seattle, he served as a clinical faculty member and research associate at UCLA's School of Dentistry. He is currently a member of the California Dental Association and the American Dental Association.

No-confidence vote puts Wilson under pressure
Sammy Wilson's future as Environment Minister came under further pressure today after a 'no confidence' motion against him was passed at Stormont.
The Environment Committee which monitors Mr Wilson and his department passed the SDLP motion by six to four, with one abstention. It is believed to be the first time a scrutiny committee has gone as far as a formal 'no confidence' move against an Executive minister.
The SDLP's environment spokesman Tommy Gallagher, who proposed the motion, said: "If Mr Wilson and his party do not take this seriously they are not taking the structures of Stormont seriously. This is not something they can ignore. It is the first time I am aware of that a committee has gone this far.
"I have been concerned for some time but the ministers' comments this week on climate change fly in the face of science and are not accepted by the majority of people."
The move comes as Mr Wilson blocked government TV adverts — warning of the effects of global warning and advising how families can save money — from being screened on UTV.
The DUP minister, who was not immediately available for comment, dismissed the adverts as "insidious New Labour propaganda" — although they can still be viewed on Channels Four and Five and Sky.
Sinn Fein and UUP members of the environment committee today supported the SDLP motion but the four DUP members voted against and Alliance leader David Ford abstained. Mr Ford was also not immediately available. An online petition launched by the Green Party, which is also proposing an Assembly motion calling on DUP leader Peter Robinson to remove Mr Wilson, gained more than 400 signatures over the last few days.
The petition accuses Mr Wilson of "bringing the people and government of Northern Ireland into international disrepute and threatening to damage our ability to attract inward investment."
Earlier this week Mr Robinson defended the right of Mr Wilson to hold his own views.

Rookie homers, steals base in win over Giants
It is a long way from the back of a produce truck on the back roads of South America to the big leagues. Nationals catcher Jhon?atan Solano once navigated the route from his native Colombia into Venezuela that way as a young prospect just hoping to impress scouts at an open tryout.
That is how the rookie reserve catcher eventually found himself, at age 26, playing baseball in the capital of the United States on the Fourth of July in front of 35,806 fans. If it felt like a dream, Solano didn't want to wake up. Not after his line-drive home run, much to his surprise, cleared the right-field wall and broke an early tie on the way to a 9-4 Washington victory over the San Francisco Giants at Nationals Park.
"Wow. Yeah, it's good," Solano said about his surprising first five weeks in the big leagues. "It's a little pressure, but I try to do everything good. Because I don't want to look like 'Oh, he's the only guy he can do nothing here.'?"
Solano hit one of four Washington homers -- Rick Ankiel, Ryan Zimmerman and Michael Morse had the others -- and also singled and stole the first base of his career. The Nats (47-32) won their third game in a row and sixth in their last eight games, taking the series from San Francisco (45-37), which entered as the first-place team in the National League West. The three-game set concludes Thursday night.
To be fair, Solano has played in just nine games since being promoted May 29. Starting catcher Wilson Ramos tore his ACL on May 12. And then Sandy Leon (sprained right ankle) and Carlos Maldonado (back injury) both suffered injuries, too. With Jesus Flores taking the bulk of the at-bats at catcher, that left the backup spot for Solano, who has taken to it. His opposite-field home run off Giants starter Madison Bumgarner in the fourth inning put the Nats ahead 4-3, and they never looked back.
"I've never seen such depth in catching as this organization," Washington manager Davey Johnson said. "All of them, great receivers, catch-and-throw, block balls great and all of them good bat potential. I've never been in any organization -- this is my fifth one -- anywhere close that."
Leon has just returned to action this week at Double-A Harrisburg. Maldonado made his return June 26 for Triple-A Syracuse. They are there if needed -- and both got the initial big league call before Solano did -- but for now the kid dubbed "Onion" for that truck ride in 2005 is holding his own.
"I worry about just call the game, and when I hit just make good contact and try to do the little things in baseball," Solano said.
Danny Espinosa, Bryce Harper and Zimmerman each had two hits for the Nats, who fell behind 3-0 in the first inning. Starter Edwin Jackson, who has had his struggles early in games this season, again settled down and allowed just one more run before departing with two out in the sixth inning.

Kimi's complaints
There's something rather wrong with a sport when one of its biggest stars threatens to walk out because he's not being paid, especially when his employer is one of the top teams around. Yet that is what's happened at Lotus this weekend, with Kimi Raikkonen sending a serious warning shot at the team's management over missing payments. It's worrying that Lotus, a race-winning team fighting for second place in the constructors' championship, should find itself struggling to pay a driver on time. If a team like Lotus cannot afford to pay some of its bills, then it's no wonder outfits further down the grid are taking on pay drivers over talented young guns to cover costs. It's another clear sign that something needs to change in the sport if Formula One is to remain a sustainable business going forward. It's most likely that Raikkonen will attend the final two races so as not to breach his side of the contract, but he is likely to do everything within his rights to make sure Lotus sticks to its side of a new agreement.
It was a wretched weekend on-track for Raikkonen too. Absent on Thursday, he only arrived at the track on Friday morning and 58 hours later he left again having retired on the opening lap after being excluded from qualifying and starting from the back of the grid.
'Absolutely brilliant'
Sebastian Vettel looked like he could have a real battle on his hands when he was beaten to pole position on Saturday, and even for a few hundred meters he was under threat as Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton closed in on either side of him at the start of the race Once Vettel led in to Turn 1, there were audible groans in front of television screens everywhere, but from that stage onwards he delivered a mesmerising display of dominance. He admitted as much too: "The pace we had was scary", "I was flying at some stages" and even Mark Webber said "Seb was on another planet today". Christian Horner confirmed Webber had no problems in the race, so half a minute was just the difference between his two drivers today. Special.
The Story of the Weekend
- Shock: Sebastian Vettel - Nobody saw that level of dominance coming, nor the repeat of the doughnuts after the race
- Shocker: Kimi Raikkonen - Having been excluded from qualifying, only got as far as Turn 2 before retiring
- Best overtake: Romain Grosjean - Seemed behind Massa as he left the pits but a quick getaway and excellent driving around the outside of Turn 3 on exit retained the position under braking for Turn 4
- Best lap: Sebastian Vettel - Take your pick. Any of them, he was faultless today and - in Webber's words - "on another planet"
- Worst lap: Lewis Hamilton - On lap 25 passed Sutil only to lose out in the second DRS zone to both the Force India and Massa
- Drive of the day: Sebastian Vettel - Surprised his team boss, team-mate and even himself at just how much quicker than everyone he was today. "Scary", he said.
Massa's anger
Things were looking pretty rosy for Felipe Massa early in the race; having outqualified Fernando Alonso he was also outracing him until the closing stages of the second stint when Alonso started to catch his team-mate but was unable to get close enough to pass. Then Massa pitted, and said Ferrari made the wrong call: "We made a mistake. I didn't expect to use the medium in the last stint, I expected to use the softs." It was ultimately a move that restricted him to eighth place and will leave the conspiracy theorists having a field day that he was moved out of Alonso's way, but as Massa himself points out: "The team needs points and the team would never do that to me. It is not really even close to my mind that the team would do something like that." It did prove to be a mistake though, and a fairly glaring one. Just one extra position gained would have put him ahead of Lewis Hamilton and left the constructors' championship gap at seven points rather than double figures.
2014 doubts surface
Bernie Ecclestone admitted over the weekend that next year's 22-race calendar was likely to become a 20-race one as he voiced "personal doubts" that New Jersey and Mexico would happen. Which begs the question why they were put on the calendar in the first place? Bernie likes to put pressure on venues to ensure he has more demand than places, but it seems strange to have the FIA World Motor Sport Council [WMSC] confirm a provisional calendar in the knowledge that some of the races are never going to make it, especially when that could then lead to a major reshuffle of the dates. Losing New Jersey would not require any changes in the middle of the season, but Mexico's delay could see the provisional dates for Austin and Brazil moved. Add in uncertainty over Korea and potentially Russia and there's a chance 22 races could become 18. But the teams, media and fans can't start planning for any of that until we see what the next WMSC comes up with.
Eyes on GP3
The Formula One championships might have been sewn up in India, but the GP2 and GP3 titles were still to be decided in Abu Dhabi and it was the latter category which had the best stories. Future Toro Rosso driver Daniil Kvyat was impressive as he wrapped up the championship with a comfortable victory in the opening race of the weekend, but it was a driver returning to single-seaters who really stood out. Dean Stoneman tested for Williams at the 2010 Young Driver Test as his reward for winning the Formula Two championship, and had only done F2 as it was half the price of GP3; where he'd really wanted to be. However, when he was set to partner Daniel Ricciardo in Formula Renault 3.5 in 2011 his career was put on hold as he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of testicular cancer. After experimental treatment he fought back to race powerboats - and win the title in his debut season - and then be successful in Porsches this year. Koiranen offered him the chance to return to single-seaters in Abu Dhabi in place of Aaro Vainio and - even though the team said it wasn't expecting results - it got them as Stoneman finished a hugely impressive sixth In race one and took second place in race two, a mere 0.3s from victory.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Matthew 25: Ministries Inc, Cincinnati, OH, USA
My church has a group that goes once a month or so and I thought it would be good to involve the kids in something family oriented and learn to give back a bit. Wow- we were way off base. From the minute we walked in the building until we left 3 and1/2 hours later....amazing. We worked, took the global tour since it was our first time there and enjoyed being side by side other kids actually doing something beneficial for someone else. But it wasn't until we got home and I was sitting with the kids at prayer time that it become clear exactly what the day had been about to them. My son says- Mom, I can't get those pictures of kids out of my head. Are there really that many people out there that have to live like that? I told him unfortunately, yes. My daughter then pipes up, well, then we need to do more about it! FYI- my kids are 9 and 11. I was floored. M25M had given more to us than we could ever give to them. ANd if that's what we get out of it, what can it possibly mean to the children and families that have nothing when they see that truck pull up with all those supplies? We are committed for life to M25M and anywhere else that God leads us! Thank you for the eye opening experience for a family that has had a very small reminder in a very big way of just how blessed we are and how we need to share that! Our morning at M25M opened the eyes of adults and children alike and in an amazing way!

A Dallas couple says West Nile virus has changed their lives forever.
Ran Kilpatrick, contracted the virus 10 years ago, has short-term memory loss and seizures.
"My heart gets to beating real fast, and I ... have to stop, take a few deep breaths. I get shaky and dizzy and just my symptoms go berserk," he said.
His wife, Rebecca Kilpatrick, said she always checks up on him because he has seizures on a nearly daily basis.
"I have to make sure I know where he's at, what he's doing, who he's with," she said.
Kilpatrick said he doesn't remember getting bitten or much time before that.
"I don't remember that summer at all, I mean, literally, at all," he said. "I don't remember the school year beforehand, or anything like that."
Dr. Chris Perkins, Dallas County health department medical director/health authority, said Ran Kilpatrick's symptoms sound like the most severe form of West Nile virus, the neuroinvasive form that affects the nerve system.
"They have severe headache, neck stiffness, forgetfulness, memory loss, confusion, disorientation," Perkins said. "They might start having paralysis or advance to having seizures."
He said there is no cure for West Nile virus, saying doctors can just treat the symptoms. The damage is irreversible, he said.
Less than 1 percent of those infected with West Nile virus will experience the serious form of the illness. Most people bitten by a West Nile virus-infected mosquito will not show any symptoms.
Dallas County has seven confirmed human cases of West Nile virus in Dallas, Richardson and Irving.
The city of Dallas will spray for mosquitoes in several areas from 10 p.m. Friday night until 3 a.m. Saturday. The city sprayed near Dallas Love Field on Monday night and early Tuesday morning.

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), manages New York City's water supply and wastewater treatment, and provides all water consumption information to properties eligible and covered under the NYC Benchmarking Law. Only covered properties that have had an Automatic Meter Reader (AMR) installed for at least the entire calendar year will be required to benchmark their water consumption.Building owners that benchmarked their data prior to 2017 by registering in Portfolio Manager® for automatic DEP water consumption data uploading do not need to re-register again this year. Water consumption data for those properties will be automatically uploaded for every year moving forward. Please note that data is uploaded in cubic feet. If your property(ies) has/have not yet registered to benchmark water and is in the Covered Buildings List, log into Portfolio Manager® and share your property information with DEP.

Today was the first day (the "unclosing") of Veracode's semiannual Hackathon. In ordinal numbers, this is the eleventh one we've done, though the actual name is Hackathon 10 5/7. (It's ok; we're all mad here.)
I am looking back at all the hacks I've done over the last few years and it's fascinating what they reveal. Programming hacks, though I haven't been a professional developer in 17 years. Musical hacks, though I'm usually neither a bluegrass musician (though I am when our CFO is leading the band) nor a theremin player. Presentation hacks. Writing hacks.
I think what's fascinating about the way that Veracode does Hackathons is that it's an opportunity for us all to reach deep and explore some under-exercised facet of our true selves. Or failing that, to sew one on and see if we can make it thrive.

The City Council passes two ordinances affecting the homeless.
By MELANIE AVE, Times Staff Writer
Published January 25, 2008
ST. PETERSBURG -- The makeshift homeless camp of bicycles, sleeping bags, boxes, shopping carts and barrels outside City Hall will be disappearing soon.
On Thursday, the City Council unanimously approved two ordinances that place tighter restrictions on homeless people's actions -- and belongings -- downtown.
The ordinances, which take effect Feb. 1, prohibit people from sleeping on public land during the day or leaving personal items along the public right of way, including sidewalks.
People whose belongings remain after Feb. 1 will be given a 36-hour warning before their items are seized, said Deputy Mayor David Metz. Items that are deemed hazardous will be removed immediately.
In separate action, the council approved a 90-day pilot program to pay for storage units at the St. Vincent de Paul shelter at a cost of $6,500. The units would be free for the homeless. Originally the city considered storage at two shelters and portable bathrooms.
After the vote on the restrictions, several homeless people and advocates stormed out of the meeting in anger.
"Cowards!" muttered Joyce McCarty.
"Thank you for making the city more fascist," yelled the Rev. Bruce Wright, an advocate for the homeless, before he stepped out.
Wright predicted the city would be hit with a rash of lawsuits from homeless people who believe their constitutional rights have been trampled by the laws.
But city attorney John Wolfe said the ordinances were mirrored after those in other cities, including Sarasota, which have been upheld by the courts.
About 30 people spoke before the vote. About half were in support; half were opposed.
Many of those pushing for the beefed-up restrictions on the homeless were business owners and downtown residents who said they are tired of loitering, panhandling, public urination and the unsightly mountain outside City Hall, running along Fifth Street and Second Avenue N.
Bill Mills, who owns a film production business, said he believes the city is being held hostage by the homeless.
"There are people who need help," he said. "I'm all for that. What I object to is the pile of garbage sitting out here on this corner."
The no-sleeping ordinance extends from 16th Street to the bay and from Fifth Avenue N to Fifth Avenue S. It also extends through the Central Avenue corridor to 31st Street.
Even though several people referred to the piles as junk, Melissa Mushol said they are mistaken.
"The stuff out there is our personal belongings," said Mushol, who said she was homeless off and on for 10 years until recently when she found an apartment.
After the meeting ended and the crowd dispersed, several homeless people said an upset Mushol was arrested for disorderly conduct for talking too loudly outside.
"See?" said Wright to a reporter. "This is the harassment we have to deal with."
