This sink is stunning! I designed a new build bathroom around this sink. The colors are rich and the design is outstanding. Very heavy -- have no worries about durability. Sits on knotty hickory cabinet with counter of 1x1 recycled content glass tiles using mostly greens also pulling a few red/orange tiles which brings out the color of the koi. Other good accent colors are cream or pale yellow, black and apricot (reminds me of an orange-cream icecream bar). There are variances of greens--none of which are turquoise or seafoam. The greens are more like seaweed and range from pale green to dark green--very rich colors! Note that there is no blue in this sink--it may be difficult to tell from the picture.It really is beautiful! The accent tile in the bath contain 1x1 natural stone and glass tiles with muted shades of green and brownish green. The salesman at the plumbing store where our contractor had us go said we got a very good deal on the koi sink. He didn't show us a single sink for under $400 which is why I am looking for more sinks on Overstock.com! (also, our plumber approved the koi sink saying it looked very well made). I used a single chrome faucet--be sure to get one that is the right height for the sink--this sink also looks great with oil rubbed bronze! Good luck on your projects!!
Order arrived on time & was packaged perfectly. This vessel sink is stunning. It's definately green, so don't hope for any blue as one reviewer stated. Glass was very thick & very well made, I couldnt find any flaws in it. I wasn't fond of the shiny chrome drain that came with it though. I thought it detracted from the serene beauty of the koi & pond, so I had to buy a seperate pop drain that was more earth toned (antiqued bronze). It made a big difference & really complimented the greens in the bowl. I wasn't worried about the extra cost of the drain b\c this was such a great value. A+
I just received my koi sink today & it is gorgeous! The sink is made out of very, very thick glass with a stunning koi scene. I read all of the reviews with the majority the buyers being very happy with their purchase before I made my purchase. Someone mentioned that the images in their sink were not clear but fuzzy. Mine is clear with very good detailing. Another buyer said that the sink was blue. It is definitely not blue but a dark forest green or emerald green. The colors are rich & deep & expensive looking. You will not be disappointed with this fabulous sink! The sink comes with a silver stopper which one buyer mentioned. She said that she purchased an antique bronze one instead. I agree with her & I plan on purchasing a antique deep gold or bronze stopper & faucet to go with the sink as it makes it look more expensive than the chrome one. I am moving in the future & this sink will go into a Japanese bathroom that I am planning along with a huge koi picture & a round wool rug with koi swimming in water that I already have for the room so the whole look will be stunning. This is my 6th purchase from Overstock & I have been extremely happy with all of my items & I am very particular & not always the easiest person to please. I would definitely recommend this gorgeous sink to anyone! Do not hesitate to purchase it. You will love it & so will everyone else!!!
I just received this vessel sink and I was blowen away! The picture does not do it justice. It is much more beautiful. I can hardly wait to set it up in my bathroom. I was a little anxious when I read one review that said the color was more blue than green but mine looks exactly like the one advertised. One thing that I noticed was how thick the glass was it must be almost an inch think. I would highly recommend this product.
This is a fun sink. We have just finished our bathroom remodel and everyone especially loves the sink. It is heavy duty and easy to install. My biggest problem was deciding where to place in on the vanity.
This bowl is more beautiful in person than the pictures. I think a bronze faucet and drain is a nice match. Our issue was finding a vanity that would fit the bowl and our small bathroom. We searched high and low and decided it was just too much work, so we are sending it back. But, if you are handy and can make a vanity for it, definitely order it. It really is a special piece.
A friend has one of these in her office and it has a lot more detail on the Koi. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
I purchased my sink in 2010 and am still blown away by the beauty of it whenever I go into my bathroom. It is stunning!!! I have never gotten tired of it! It came packaged in two solid foam pieces and double boxed. I also purchased the bamboo looking, oil rubbed bronze faucet, which just completes the sink.
It broke my heart to return this sink to Overstock but we decided it was easier to just purchase a vanity with a sink installed from Overstock. The colors of the sink are rich and gorgeous, the design awesome and the glass was thick and looks very expensive. I'm hoping we don't regret going the easy route.
I bought this vessel sink a couple of years ago and remodeled my vanity bath around it. It is stunning and surpassed my expectations. I am very surprised to see the negative reviews on this sink. I hope the new ones are not flawed because my friend is looking to order one for her bathroom and I would hate for her to get one that wasn't as beautiful as mine. I paired mine with a polished bronze bamboo faucet and pop up stopper, which set the ink off perfectly. I am a collector of art glass and this sink complements my collection perfectly.

In retrospect, there would be little motivation even for malevolent extraterrestrials to attack the Earth; perhaps, after a preliminary survey, they might decide it is more expedient just to be patient for a little while and wait for us to self-destruct.

Prof. Peiris with the President of Republic of Senegal |
External Affairs Minister Professor G.L.Peiris, travelling to Senegal as the Special Envoy of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, had a meeting in Dakar on Monday with Mr. Abdoulaye Wade, President of the Republic of Senegal.
President Wade recalled with pleasure the meeting he had with President Rajapaksa in September last year on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
Professor Peiris handed over a personal letter of felicitation from President Rajapaksa to President Wade. The President of Senegal warmly reciprocated these sentiments and said that he looks forward to working closely with Sri Lanka in the new situation which has arisen since the eradication of terrorism.
The External Affairs Minister referred to the resolve of Sri Lanka, as a significant feature of its foreign policy, to strengthen traditional and historic ties with countries in the continent of Africa.
He recalled the 50th Anniversary meeting of the Asian African Legal Consultative Committee, hosted by Sri Lanka in Colombo last year, and emphasized the strong bond between Sri Lanka and Senegal as countries which show solidarity in applying the principles of the Non_Aligned Movement in addressing current regional and global issues.
Minister Peiris stated that it was the initiative of The Asian African Legal Consultative Committee with regard to the concept of Exclusive Economic Zones which provided the foundation for the Law of the Sea negotiations on the demarcation of the 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone. He added that a forum of this nature should be strengthened to harness the views and proposals of African and Asian countries to promote the vital interests of developing nations in both continents.
He expressed appreciation of the active participation of Senegal in the work of the Group of 15 of which Sri Lanka is at present the Chair.
Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission, and the Government's plans regarding the way forward.
The Minister informed the President of Senegal of the new vistas of opportunity opening up in Sri Lanka for extended relations between the two countries in respect of trade, investment and tourism.
Apart from the discussion with the President of Senegal, Prof. Peiris, during his 24 hour visit to the country, also had a meeting with Mr. Maitre Madicke Niang, Minister of State and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Senegal, and with Mr. Cheik Tidianesy, Minister of Justice, and Mr. Mousthaph Sourang, Minister of Defence of Senegal.

I love the smell of fresh cut plywood in the morning.
Wow, great work.
Epic job, Jake. Miss you around the old dock. The new management has been an improvement, and they fixed up your old space.
Thanks Lew,
The girls seem to be doing a good job, pooring alot of money into the place. Don't make it over to the Rita house as it is off the path now. Had to put in my first order for new lumber today with John Thomas. Burned through about 3500 BF of silver bali and 500 bf of angelic so far. Spent half the day digging through the various cut off piles to find enough angelic t&g to finish the v berth.
epic, very good looking boat.
In fact, if you can saw a penciled line, apply glue, drive nails, and bring a modest measure of patience to the task, you can build and launch a smart and able craft in as few as 40 work hours. You need not be driven by lack of tools, materials, skills, or time to abandon in frustration a project you conceived in a spirit of pleasurable anticipation.

Just beautiful work. Great progress!

A little more, started framing aft, have a pretty good idea on the pilot house layout, or at least not as many ??. A little more prep and the fuel tank can go in under the cockpit.
Starting to trim out lockers etc
That's all for now

I am surprised they aren't just all over this. Maybe it helps that I know what she looked like when you started and how much you have put into this project.
What a fantastic job going on there. Spectacular.
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing all these great pictures. Fantastic work!
As I don't think I've said it, Thanks for the positive feedback. All criticisms welcome as well. I don't post much but do read a fair bit and certainly respect the wealth of expirience on here. It's been a slow go as I spend half the year at sea for work but we are closing in to moving day.
Tell the people about the boat. A bit of background.......
Don't have alot of history. What we were told---
Brief Bio-
Built in Vietnam 1962-63 by US navel officer
Supposedly sunk 1965 0r 1967
At some point early 1980's showed up in southern Ca was named "Goodwind" somebody did a fair amount of work in this period, hull was refastned foremast had a repair etc..
It was also reported that it was used in youth non-profit in San Diego late 1980's
1997 previous owner Worth Brown, a retired shipwright from Florida, he built the boat "Hootman" which won the 1957 Havanna Cup (used to be a article out there online), bought her in long beach at age 90. With the help of his son and son in law 60's and 70's they sailed up the coast to Seattle in Oct ??
2004 or 2005 I bought the boat, let Worth stay on it till the fall when I moved up from PV, Worth passed away the week before we moved on. He had planned to cruise to AK and had gutted the interior putting in a basic replacement.
We stayed on board for six months then started a 2 year refit Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
What year is it????????
PS If anyone has any info on the boat or remembers it from Ca I would very much like to get any history I can
This is a pic of her hauled out in ca then named "Goodwind"

WOW, Jake!!!
I remember, quite a while ago, when you showed this horrendous "bricolage" on the foremast (and the near escaped accident when it fell down!), but sorry I had not noticed the new jobs.
So, I just spent the best of my morning going through all the pictures from the beginning (and yes: your little girl has grown up a bit!!!) and congratulate you for the nice and great amount of work you have done since that time. She is a whole different boat now!
Your deck - since you asked about it - looks pretty good on the pictures (although 1", which you said was it's present thickness, effectively sounds just that little bit thin for a boat of this size), but it's not possible to say more with the pictures you have. I guess (?) that you will replace the capping rail and the stringer that runs long the inner side, so it will be easier to have a good look all-round the stanchions then.
I saw that you have replaced the old tie-rods that were going from the beam clamp to the roof carlins by new ones...but why did you make them so long since they are now from the beam side to the carlin???? You could just as well have these angle bars right against the carlin, just allowing for the dove tails, which had opened due to over-caulking, to re-tighten up...and save all this S.S. threaded rod. Would look more neat too.
Your new roof is a huuuuge improvement compared to the not-so-pretty earlier one, and Tad Robert designed future wheelhouse will be just fine....and so comfortable! Just curious: it looks like the companionway sill will be over the top of the aft cabinside, and not cutting through it for easier access... Is that right???
It is impossible to say for sure from the pictures either, but the whole boat very much looks like made from "Sao" wood. How well it has accepted the many iron/ steel fittings and nails make me almost certain that it is this wood, which was the top choice in South Vietnam, where she was built...and for an American engineer certainly, who will have designed many fittings (and perhaps the whole boat, actually!). These mast collars are definitely an engineer's job! He imported many top quality fittings too...but left to the Vietnamese to make this steering with what was available! Not going t break down easily...just hope it does not make too much "klong-klong-klong" with this Universal joint
Keep up the good job

"Homme libre, toujours tu cheriras la mer" (Charles Baudelaire)
A wonderfully inspiring thread and an absolutely impressive-as-all-get-out ton of first class workmanship. I can just barely imagine what it must have been like in the earlier stages during tear out time and what must have appeared as terribly daunting bit of work ahead. A+++ for brute determination and stick-to-itness!!!
Continued great success!!
Do it,do it,do it,do it,do it,do it,do it,now!
This boat was built with ten thumbs.No fingers were harmed in anyway.
Thanks for the kind words Luc and Peter.
I think the tie rod location was to get away from the end of the stub beams, it's what the shipwrights wanted to do. The cap rail will be a work in progress as you said it is very hard to get in there. Tad has been great about steering the vision and emphasising what can wait. The cockpit being one, we will eventually take it back one deck beam and put the wheel directly on the worm gear at a slight angle, It is pretty tight with the binacle installed. The companion way is a work in progress, I wasn't sure where to put it so I finished out the aft side of the house and will cut it in when the boat tells me where. Alot will depend on how the pilot house comes together, center port stbd etc. I'm going to look up "Sao" wood now
I was scrolling thru the pictures and noticed the porthole in the hull forword and was thinking that looks familiar. Then when I saw it was named Goodwind, it all came together. I was the guy that refastened the hull and built the engine bed, not sure of the year but early 80's seems right. She was bought by a guy named Larry Hammond, he and a friend had visions of starting a charter biz, they bought the schooner Dreamer at the same time. Dreamer was really far gone at the time and a 100K redo was out of the question. We redid all the standing and running rigging in Del Ray and headed on down to Newport to get the almost dead engine looked after.The engine croaked on the way so we sailed her back up to Long Beach Marina boat yard to make the change out, that's where we refastened the hull and shined her up. I heard he putzed around with her a bit than leased her out to a guy that fished her (she had a realy long rang under power) It's great to see a new interior, the one she had just wasn't right.
Good to see she's still around and your doing a great job.
As Peter said, such a brilliantly inspiring thread Jake. Fantastic to see how far you've come with this and the simply excellent work that you've been doing.

Thanks for the comments Larks. Tallboy great to have finally found someone connected to the boat in the early days. The running rigging held up great, especially since it was circa early 80s, I have 3 5 gallon buckets of blocks I will take with me fishing and pull them apart and rework. The fastening job you did seems to have held up great. There was some funky work done up here around the clamp bolts that will require dutchmen to repair, I met the guy who did it and he said he didn't want too but it was what the owner wanted. It looked like it originally had copper coated boat nails and copper rivets in the butt blocks. Also rather odd was it was caulked from the waterline down but edge set from there up. Tallboy since you said you sailed from delray to long beach, how did the hull feel? Track well, stability etc any comments appreciated.
Nice boat. More pics please

-- my next guest did not Obey orders.
Democrat senate mock trial he's -- -- and senator you all the only Democrat to vote against the Buffett rule why did you do that.
Well for several reasons one is I think.
You know I've traveled the state of Arkansas people are tired of the partisan games that they see in Washington and you know from my standpoint honestly both sides are wrong on taxes I think sometimes President Obama.
He didn't really say this but almost says that basically just tax millionaires enough.
You know all our problems will go away and it in effect and also.
The Republicans I think they're wrong taxes -- they say we should raise taxes on anybody under any circumstances.
Think both those approach is wrong I think we need comprehensive tax reform I do think millionaires should pay their fair share.
But listed as part of comprehensive tax reform along the lines of Simpson Bowles laid out.
That tax reform to -- and tax reform on the Simpson Bowles was basically that you would do away with a lot of -- loopholes but you would also lower income tax rates is that what you mean by tax reform.
That is exactly what I mean -- listen I don't agree that every single line in the Simpson Bowles plan but it gives us a framework.
That we can start with -- and I think it really gives -- a blueprint for how we did this and you know I'm I'm I'm hopeful that at some point this the senate and house we'll get serious about tax reform.
Unfortunately we have a lot of people -- here are not very serious about it right now.
Do you think that there is a developing consensus that says tax reform is the way to go and again that would be.
Loopholes some loopholes gone public and argue about about what loopholes gone tax rates down is there were developing consensus that you -- Right now you know I cannot say that and partly that is because the Grover Norquist phenomenon here where you have so many Republicans who are committed.
-- no new taxes and you know again I'm not trying to put words in the mouth but it almost comes across is no new taxes under any circumstances and I think that's unwise.
But you know Jim -- -- -- is -- gast literally fifteen minutes from now on this program I'll put that directly to him.
Well you should ask you about it because you know I didn't sign on of that tax pledge but most of the Republican senators haven't.
Quite frankly I think when you look at the circumstances were and now I think they're different and I think it's you can justify.
Doing tax reform meaningful tax reform.
Along along generally along the lines of Simpson Bowles recommend it guessing you're OK with bringing more money into the treasury so long existed is lowering rates and cutting out blue balls bats you'll blueprint and that's what you -- yet.
I am okay -- that yes sir.
Thanks for joining us out of the month -- Democrat Arkansas thank you so.
Thank you -- suit again.

Was making a comment to someone about Rob Lowe and they told me about this upcoming TV mini-series (coming in 2013). Looking at the cast list, Lowe is going to be Longstreet, Stephen Lang is Lincoln, Dwight Yoakam as Meade, Noah Wyle as Pickett, Damian Lewis as James McPherson, Bill Paxton as Stonewall Jackson, Will Patton as Lee, Kevin Farley as Henry Halleck, D.B. Sweeny and McClellan, Micheal C. Hall as Grant, Kim Delaney as Mary Todd Lincoln, Trace Adkins as John Gregg. I'll let folks check out the IMDb page to get a full listing, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2032276/. According to IMDb it's going to be an eight part mini-series produced by Sony so I'm wondering if it's going to be for HBO. It's two years away but I'll be honest here. I look at some of the names and just wonder if their right for who their playing. Lang I'll give him a chance at Lincoln. Picture him more as Pickett and Jackson thanks to his having played both in Gettysburg and Gods and Generals. With those in mind I'll give him a chance and see how he does. After seeing the extra features on Band of Brothers and being surprised to learn Lewis was an Englishman (I really would have sworn from the accent he was an American) I'll give him a chance. But Wyle as Pickett? And I can't really picture Lowe as Pete Longstreet, or Hall as Grant. But maybe the folks I can't picture will be more believable in their roles. |

Dwight Yoakam as Meade? Makes me think less of the film already. Pender |

Why, because he's in it or because he's playing Meade? To be honest I don't know what to think of this miniseries. I'm having a hard time picturing Noah Wyle and Rob Lowe as George Pickett and Longstreet respectively myself. Neither seem right to me. And the guy they got for Grant just doesn't look the part even without the beard. But it's supposed to be out in 2013, maybe they'll change opinions then. Or maybe it will be down the drain. |

Just can not see him playing Meade. Can you? I hope it is good, would like to see a good Civil War film. Will have to wait for it when it comes out on dvd, don't have HBO. I agree about Stephen Lang, after seeing him play Pickett and Jackson it will be hard seeing him as Lincoln. Pender |

After seeing Mr. Lang play Pickett and Jackson, I'm having a hard time watching him get chased by dinosaurs in Terra Nova! Very versatile actor indeed. Mark |

No, never did say I could picture Yoakam as Meade. But after seeing him play Pickett and Jackson it is easier picturing Lang playing Lincoln than it is picturing a lot of the others in their roles. That's not to say it's necessarily easy to picture him in the role, only that after seeing him playing two different individuals from the war it's easier to picture him in the role than it is Noah Wyle as Pickett. |

how in the heck are they going to get Bill paxton to pass as Stonewall? And Trace Adkins as John Gregg? I dont think they could have picked a more off hand cast. |

When one films something, casting is a big factor. Get some big box-office names for the epics. Get some actors for lesser films ... and get some good ones who will work for peanuts on the small ones. "To Appomattox" will be a TV special. Not all that remunerative -- we're not talking billions. And those who do watch it will be hypercritical. A cliff-hanger. Lets not make judgements until we've watched it. Personally, I've followed the intentions of the author/producer and he sounds sincere. I do believe he (Becks) is trying to do it right. He cannot afford really big names; just those who want some kind of paycheck until the next big offer. The draws are not lining up to earn scale. He has lined up technical advisors who I trust. What comes out of the editing is speculation. Somewhere in there, some magic happens. It will be what it will be. |

History students at Northwest Missouri State University will unveil an exhibit on folk music later this week during a special event at the Nodaway County Historical Society Museum, located at 110 N. Walnut St. in Maryville.
The exhibit, The People and Places of Folk Music, is being created through a course taught by Elyssa Ford, assistant professor of history, and its opening will coincide with a free concert by St. Louis singer-songwriter Ryan Spearman at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16, at the Ron Houston Center for the Performing Arts.
After the show, a shuttle will transport patrons to the museum, where Spearman will lead a discussion about folk music traditions. The exhibit will remain on display through Friday, Nov. 30. Regular museum hours are 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.
"Folk music is not only something to listen to and enjoy, but a way to connect to the heritage and history of people," said Brent Trout, a graduate student from O'Fallon who is taking Ford's course. "The exhibit offers a look at many different types of music genres, but they all connect back to the most important element of the music — the people."
In presenting the course, Ford has provided students with access both to applicable technology and insights from exhibit designers at the National Archives in Kansas City and the Kansas Historical Society Museum in Topeka, Kan.
"In today's world it is increasingly important to be able to work with other people and rely on the skill sets and abilities that various people bring to the table," Ford said. "... This ability to learn new skills, and especially to learn new computer software, is exactly what students will be required to do once they graduate and enter the professional work environment."
The exhibit focuses on topics ranging from ragtime and Appalachian ballads to Kansas City jazz and modern indie folk. It also highlights some of the genre's most famous personalities, including Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and the Lomaxes, a father-son team of folk music scholars.
Funding and support for Spearman's performance and the exhibit is being provided by the Missouri Arts Council, Northwest's College of Arts and Sciences and the Melvin D. and Valorie G. Booth College of Business and Professional Studies.

My SaaS company consists of myself (founder and developer), another developer, and a support person. Our new app is starting to gain traction, and as a result, I'm on the phone with potential / new customers at least 50% of the time. When combined with other aspects of running the company, I hardly have any time to develop. Two months ago, I was tearing through our road map, and now it's at a standstill. The other developer spends a good amount of time with L2 support, so I'm starting to feel paralyzed with supporting potential and existing customers.
I would really like to get back to development, so I want to hire someone to handle some of the other areas. What I really need is someone to field sales questions, welcome new users, and guide them through the initial setup process. Sort of a hybrid sales / account manager position. Is there a name for this kind of position? How would this person be compensated? Some combination of salary and commission? Thanks for any tips.

Asia Tours
- Thailand
- China
- Cambodia
- Vietnam
- Tibet
There is no simple way to describe the wealth of opportunity that Asia travel offers the adventure seeker. Markets and bazaars, souks and stupas, ancient ruins constructed by grand civilizations long gone, modern cities and villages where life goes on much as it has for centuries. From the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, Delhi, Beijing, Amman and Kathmandu to the overwhelming immensity of the Himalayas, an Asia tour provides the traveller with as much to marvel at as Marco Polo and the explorers of old. Whether you're looking to cross Mongolia, follow the Silk Road to China, trek to Everest base camp, explore Tibet, visit Vietnam or island hop in southern Thailand, Asia is waiting to entrance you.
Northern Hilltribes & Villages (ATHV)
From the luxury of Bangkok's malls and gleaming highrises, head north to Thailand's hills. Eating and sleeping with the hilltribes will bring you face to face with these colourful cultures. We'll leave plenty of time for fun in historic Chiang Mai with its night market and delicious cuisine. Our CEOs will help you get off the beaten path—but you'll stay flexible by being able to choose the activities you really want.
Highlights: Experience the bustle of Bangkok, explore the vibrancy of Chiang Mai, trek through northern hilltribes and meet the locals, ride on the back of an elephant and float on a bamboo raft.
Cambodia on a Shoestring (ATRC)
Marvel at the incredible Khmer ruins of Angkor Wat and the clear turquoise waters at Sihanoukville. This journey packages Cambodia's treasures into 10 well-paced days. Brave Ho Chi Minh City's jam-packed streets with other travellers your own age—you can be sure they'll keep pace with you—or check out the more laid back waterways of Vietnam's Mekong Delta. With your accommodation, transportation and general trip logistics arranged, you can concentrate on choosing the activities that interest you most.
Highlights: Explore bustling Bangkok, catch the sunrise over Angkor Wat, enjoy a delicious local Khmer meal in a small village, walk the bustling streets of Phnom Penh, chill out on golden beaches, connect with the locals on an overnight homestay, cruise the Mekong Delta, discover intriguing Ho Chi Minh City.

Even though I still have room in my show, I personaly loce wearing them to school
I have had these shoes for about 5 years. I wear them at my job where I stand all day. They never cause me foot or back pain as other shoes do. I can count on these durable shoes to get me through a long day. However, I don't like that they are so heavy. The are not a good walking shoe for this reason. Also, I am tall and often prefer to wear a shoe with a much lower heel. For the average hight woman, the heel height is probably perfect! They are cute for 'wellness' shoes too and I get compliments on them often!

Hello !
have just finished my new copter
but when I wanted to control the functions
I've always just north of the compass indicates noticed!
I've now changed the APM and the IMU board also the Compass
but always the same result!
also in the terminal all the parameters are zero !
I've done something wrong?
or two compass modules are broken?
What version of the code are you using? And how have you attached the compass?
I am having the same problem, I even bought a new compass/IMU
I am board mounting the compass and using .39, I have seen a lot of talk about broken compass's here so maybe if someone acknowledges it it would save some people the cost of buying a new compass/imu.
Load the APM code, which has the latest compass drivers. That will confirm if your compass is working right.
We'll be posting updated ArduCopter code (2.0.40b) this weekend, with updated compass drivers.
Hi Chris,
I've loaded the code39b
I mounted the Compass
I will try tonight the 38 code
Hi I also have the same problem, but have a sparkfun mag. Also have 39b,
but have testet is with 30 or so and the same problem.
I get some new compass moduls (sparkfun) in some days.
The exampe programm do also not work for me always have a Problem.
But Simple mode with the copter works very well!!!!!
In Gui I have Heading 2, 0 0 0 all the time
Today I get a new Compass von Sparkfun and now all works perfekt in CLI and HUD. Tomorrow I will make a testflight with version 39b and will test the Auto mode.
Cheers Michi
now I have the configuration done without compass
Now I can see the data in the flight Diplay
I hope that this problem is solved in the 40 version
hi peter, may be the compass has gone. i had the same problem on APM2.12. I removed the compass PCB from the arupilot shield and found that the main chip had come off the PCB. i do not know how. i bought a new one and replaced the old one and everything was fine. i want to get it changed by the supplier since the chip came off without applying any physical force. good luck and happy navigation!

From the December 6, 2008 Pajamas Media
December 8, 2008
by Christopher Ford
In the days since the siege in Mumbai was fought to its bloody conclusion, policymakers and observers in India and elsewhere have been struggling to come to grips with this latest terrorist atrocity. Many have noted with concern the potential implications of this escalation in jihadist violence in a country that has a population of 150 million sometimes ill-treated Muslims and is already no stranger to Islamist terrorism.
Given the alleged confession by the lone surviving terrorist that his group received their training in Pakistan, and leaked reports that the terrorist controllers were located there, many also worry about the potential for this incident to inflame the Indo-Pakistani conflict and reverse recent improvements in the relationship between New Delhi and Islamabad.
It is also hard not to read into such reported Pakistani connections as yet another troubling instance of Islamabad's unwillingness (or inability) to exert control over radicalized elements within its bureaucracy and over broad swathes of their own territory. In part, depending upon whether there turns out to have been an al-Qaeda connection or not, one might speculate whether the Mumbai attackers' effort to seize and murder Westerners amid the carnage of running gun battles in a majority-Hindu city is an implicit admission that the indiscriminate bombings that massacred fellow Muslims in Iraq have proven counterproductive for the jihadists.
Counterterrorist analysts may conclude that we are now moving into a new phase of the war in which terrorists seek once again to take the fight against the infidel to the latter's own turf, but where the locations targeted for mass murder have expanded from government buildings and major symbolic monuments to essentially any place that people congregate (e.g., major hotels or train stations). Too little is known at this time, however, to reach more than the most tentative of conclusions.
Beyond such lessons, however, there may lie another: the inherent danger of living in a world where more and more countries can acquire nuclear weapons. With the six-party talks to denuclearize North Korea stalled, and the unsurprising failure of the international community's feeble and inconsistent efforts to forestall Iran from acquiring the capability to produce fissile material for bomb use, one hears it sometimes said that we can live with nuclear weapons proliferation because even idiosyncratically belligerent governments can be deterred just like the Soviet Union was during the Cold War.
On one level, the Indo-Pakistani nuclear standoff might seem to offer grounds for encouragement in this regard because despite the history of rivalry and warfare between the two countries, they have more than once stepped back from the brink of nuclear confrontation.
The Mumbai terrorist attacks and their potential to re-poison the relationship between India and Pakistan suggests that we should not be too sanguine about the stability of nuclear deterrence in a proliferated world. Even if nuclear weapons tend to encourage mutually-deterring relationships between possessor states (an assumption that, while plausible, is no more than an extrapolation from a single U.S.-Soviet case study and a mere decade of sometimes tension-filled Indo-Pakistani nuclear confrontation), there is no guarantee that any actual possessors' relationship will be stable.
This is true particularly where bitter regional rivalries are susceptible to inflammation from other factors (e.g., cross-border terrorism and/or squabbles over contested frontiers). One would have to have a great deal of faith indeed in the conflict-moderating impact of nuclear weapons in order to be comfortable that the net result will be more stable and less dangerous than before. It is certainly possible that in such contexts the introduction of nuclear weapons would not increase stability. It would merely worsen the potential downside risks if troubled relationships deteriorate.
And deteriorate they can. The specter of a stable, nuclear-armed, Indo-Pakistani standoff being unsettled by the wildcard variable of a terrorist atrocity should remind us that future nuclear deterrent relationships in a proliferated world may be far more problematic and breakdown-prone than even the risky roller coaster ride of U.S.-Soviet confrontation. In other words, the fact that the world managed to live uneasily for a while with the Cold War nuclear dyad may tell us very little about whether it will be possible to avoid catastrophe with the advent of more and more players possessing nuclear weapons.
Among its many other effects, therefore, one should hope that the horror in Mumbai will at least encourage a greater international commitment to nuclear nonproliferation. The world can scarcely afford to allow nuclear weapons capabilities to be layered upon regional rivalries that are subject at any time to sudden crisis.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Bloomington and Indiana University police say they'll be extra vigilant during this weekend's Little 500 bicycle races in response to Monday's deadly explosions at the Boston Marathon.
Bloomington Police Chief Mike Diekhoff says his department began talking with IU authorities following the Boston bombings and now has "additional plans that have been put in place."
The Herald-Times reports Diekhoff said Tuesday that some of those plans include a stronger police presence at the outdoor bicycle races, but he declined to give specifics.
IU interim Police Chief Laury Flint says that aside from the heightened police presence at the weekend races and other Little 500 events it's important for anyone who notices anything suspicious in Bloomington during the weekend events to report that immediately to authorities.
