Does a battleship move in the water when it shoots a full salvo?
February 16, 2002, 10:13 PM
Just a little bit of naval info to let you digest.i know the answer, do you?
February 16, 2002, 10:27 PM
I would say no. I am sure that the amount of recoil force generated by the main armament firing is impressive, but likely not enough to make a difference considering the ship's incredible mass.
Also, considering that a full salvo would be fired broadside, the rearward force of the salvo would be dissipated across the entire opposite hull of the ship. The energy required to move the ship side to side is far more than it would take to move the ship forward and backwards considering the same acceleration.

It depends on what you mean by "move". The force is sufficient to create a wave on the opposite side so the ship has moved, technically. :p

I don't know anything about naval artillery... I doubt that it would move much , but I would guess that it would move. BTW, in the old fashioned artillery, a salvo is fired one round at a time, not all at once.
February 16, 2002, 11:07 PM
But have seen a Fletcher Class DD (5 5" mounts) let off all it's mounts at once while underway... that sucker rolled and skidded sideways visibly. Of course, Tin Cans displace considerably less mass than a BB, but I'd say the same principles would apply with both.:)
February 16, 2002, 11:12 PM
yep, when they touch off the 16 inchers she moved sideways through the water. projectiles weighed 'bout the same as a compact car and they used over 200# of powder for each shot. there is a video of it on the missouri's websight. www.ussmissouri.com

February 16, 2002, 11:41 PM
Yes. Slightly.
Theoretically, a single person simply PUSHING on a ship, even one as large as the Missouri, should be able to move her if she's not hard tied.

February 17, 2002, 12:25 AM
...huge naval rifles is incredible.
The IJN BB Yamato needed some work after it was determined that the blast from her 18" rifles caused serious damage to the rangefinding optics of her small AA and DP mounts.
February 17, 2002, 12:42 AM
He already said the screws were turning. So the answer is obviously "yes," whether the ship is rolling as a result of recoil or not.

2000lb Projectile X 2000fps = 4,000,000fpe.
4,000,00fpe X 12 guns = 48,000,000 fpe.
48,000,000 / 2000lb per ton = 24000 TONS of recoil energy!
At 60,000 tons per your average big BB, that is 40% of the mass of the ship being imparted. Bet your bippy it's gonna move. About 6 feet, IIRC.
When I was on a 2,200 ton tin can, we figured the impact of a dud 16 incher (assuming it transferred all its energy) would be the equivalent of holding an identical destroyer two feet off the deck, and dropping it.
Mike Irwin
February 17, 2002, 01:14 AM
Uh, TexVet?
I think your calculations are just a little bit off...
By a couple hundred million foot pounds of energy.
Projectile weight for the armor piercing shell was 2,700 pounds.
Multiply that by 7000 grains in a pound, and get 18,900,000 grains projectile weight.
Square the muzzle velocity of 2,500 fps. = 6,250,000.
Multiply weight by MV and get 118,125,000,000,000.
Divide that by the constant 450,400 = 262,266,873 foot pounds of energy.
Divide that by 2,000 to get foot tons of energy = 131,133 foot TONS of energy at the muzzle.
That's for a single gun. Multiply that by 9 for all 9 guns going in unison (which they rarely did because it stressed the ship so much), and you get 1,180,197 foot tons of energy per broadside.
Pretty sobering to think about, eh?
You ever wonder where the ship's boats were on Yamato and Musashi?
They had to be stowed in protective recesses under the main deck due to the muzzle blast from the main guns.

Of course it will. If I remember my physics than even shooting a pistol would move it, albeit imperceptably.
February 17, 2002, 01:22 AM
Decelerator recoil pad that big?
February 17, 2002, 04:40 AM
First we need to find the force of the guns firing. The weight of one shell is 2,700 pounds. We need to convert this to mass. Weight=mass*acceleration due to gravity. Converting pounds to Newtons and adding gravity we get
Now, force=ma. We need force and acceleration, we have mass.
The length of the 16 gun is 20.32m.
Remember F=ma
So now
multiply it by nine guns, and you get
F=157648275 Newtons
Assuming this entire force is transfered to the hull, we can use the same equation to find the acceleration of the hull.
mass of hull=58994285kg
That is not much at all. We also must remember that this is in a frictionless environment. The friction, from both the "suction" action of the side of the hull facing away from the motion, and the resistance of water on the other side, plus the friction produced by the bottom of the hull and of air over the entire portion of the ship above sea level is immense. I have no idea on how to calculate it.
This calculation also disregards any elevation of the guns. If the guns were all fired at a 45 degree angle, the force vectors would result in a force acting both to the side but DOWN as well. Te acceleration side-to-side would be reduced signifigantly.
In addition the guns 48" of rearward recoil movement obviously uses a hydraulic-type system to store much of the recoil energy from the gun barrel. I also have no data on this system and cannot calulate how much it accounts for.
What I would expect is that the ship rotates slightly on its axis if anything, considering the position of the elevated guns relative to the center of mass.
P.S. I was just thinking about this equation, and actually the acceleration number might be wrong as well, as I assumes the shell acceleration as constant, and as reaching max velocity at the exact moment it exits the muzzle of the gun. I also didn't figure in the length of the powder bags, which I do not know.

Went on an R&R trip out of Korea to Hong Kong on the USS St. Paul in late 1954. Got to talking gunnery to some navy guys. Aside from, "Yes, a broadside moves the ship sideways.", what I found interesting is that not even a cruiser with "only" 12-inch guns fires straight ahead.
BBs and suchlike angle off course to fire during, say, a stern chase. I don't recall the minimum angle. I was told the reason was to avoid damage to the ship from the recoil.
The St. Paul covered our pullout from Wonsan after the Chosin Reservoir debacle. Part of the outfit I was stationed in had evacuated through there...

These sites, however, state otherwise.
QUESTION -- I noticed in an aerial photo of the NEW JERSEY firing a broadside that the water next to the ship is roiled. Do the guns cause that or does the ship move sideways after firing a broadside?
The ship does not move. The roiled water is caused by the concussion of the guns firing.
What looks like a side-ways wake is just the water being broiled up by the muzzle blasts. The ship doesn't move an inch or even heel from a broadside.
The guns have a recoil slide of up to 48 inches and the shock is distributed evenly through the turret foundation and the hull structure. The mass of a 57,000 ton ship is just too great for the recoil of the guns to move it. Well, theoretically, a fraction of a millimeter.
But because of the expansive range of the overpressure (muzzle blast), a lot of the rapidly displaced air presses against the bulkheads and decks. Those structures that are not armored actually flex inwards just a bit, thus displacing air quickly inside the ship and causing loose items to fly around. Sort of like having your house sealed up with all windows and vents closed and when you slam the front door quickly the displaced air pops open the kitchen cabinets.

Given the 2,700 lb/projectile, that's roughly 12 tons for a 9-gun broadside. 57,000 tons of ship means roughly 1/5,000th of its mass leaving home rapidly.
Okay, 1/5,000th of the mass of a 190-pound man on an innertube in a pond, with a 10-pound rifle, firing a 280-grain bullet: Roughly equal mass:mass comparison test.

I remember when the New Jersey was shelling positions in Lebanon, there was much ado about her having to stage salvoes to encompass the "rocking effect" and sideways displacement when firing. IIRC, the media claimed it was something along the order of 12 feet with the guns elevated at 45 degrees?
February 17, 2002, 10:12 AM
The reason why battleships do not fire multiple turrets at once, is not because of displacement, but because the firings are not perfectly simultanious, the very slight "rocking" effect of the the firing on the lateral axis of the ship screws with the firing computer solutions ever so slightly. However, that would translate to a big error over a long distance.
Guys, think about it logically. If the ship moved 12 feet to the side when the guns fired, people would be knocked off their feet all over the ship. It would be like an earthquake going on inside. Even a relativly small acceration of the ground under a standing human can be very disruptive. Have you ever stepped on one of those moving sidewalks, or even an escalator when you weren't paying attention?
The force of the firing is rapidly transfered to the water from the hull, if moving sideways. That would mean that the movement of 12 feet would require a very quick acceleration and hence a violant disturbance all over the ship.

Given that the battleship is not securely fixed as a solid object, then one of the basic rules of physics would apply. For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.
If there is enough force to rock the ship, then it is being moved in the water.
It doesn't get any more simple than than.
February 17, 2002, 10:33 AM
Well people, the russians did win this gold medal.from what i read on the usnavy internet site,the ship doesnot move.the shock is absorbed by hydrolics.mr vlademir has it right.
February 17, 2002, 10:57 AM
Right on! Where is my prize? ;)
February 17, 2002, 11:10 AM
Given that the battleship is not securely fixed as a solid object
Yes, except this isn't an "object in a vacuum" physics problem.
As was pointed out above, there's first the hydraulic recoil buffers to spread the shock over time, secondly, the hydrodynamics of the ship when attempting to move laterally just plain suck. As a rough measurement, the Missouri is 860' at the waterline and has a mean draft of 36'. Ignoring the slight curve to her side (slightly concave towards the bows and convex midships), we're talking a "frontal area" of 30,960 square feet that would have to be forced through rather uncompressible water. There's a reason ships are pointed at the bow. ;)
It's pointed out here (http://www.warships1.com/W-Tech/tech-022.htm) that even in a frictionless environment, a full 9-gun broadside only has enough energy to accelerate a 57,000 ton ship to 0.46 feet per second. And trying to force a rather bluff 31,000 square foot steel wall through water is about as far from a frictionless environment as you're going to find.
Now, with an earlier battleship, such as the Royal Navy's WWI-vintage Agincourt, your talking a ship that weighs 30,250 tons, is 660' at the waterline, with a mean draft of 26.5' (rough area: 17,490 square feet), yet packed a broadside of 14 (!) 12" guns. Those ships might have moved a more noticeable distance.
BTW, I came into this thread thinking "of course they move!", but thanks to the links and the essays there, I'm now pretty convinced they don't (at least not very much); the numbers just don't add up.

February 17, 2002, 01:31 PM
As a boy growing up in a Navy town full of WWI and Korean War vets, both Navy and Marnie Corps, I heard many stories.
One of them I heard over and over from vets that were stationed on board battleships that had seen service against the Japanese. They told of standing orders that were strictly enforced, and what happened to those spaces that were not prepared for primary gun ops...the 16 inchers.
Everything had to be stowed as if for a severe storm at sea, and no one, not even Marine sentries, were permitted anywhere on the main decks during operations. The reasons were that, every time the guns fired, which was almost broadside during shore bombardment preparatory to amphib landings, the ship both rolled and moved sideways from the recoil. If a nine gun salvo was ordered, the ship rolled so far that the main deck opposite the side over which the guns were firing became submerged under more than six feet of water. The ship itself was also moved abeam so far that the screws and rudder had to be used to put the ship back on station, or her firing would jeapordize the surrounding escort vessels.
I remember hearing some stories of what happened in living quarters and mess decks that were not prepared for these ops. Some personal belongings were never found again, and the cleanup in the mess decks sometimes took so long that they were still picking up utensils, shakers, and so on until the next day.
One story I remember was about a cook that had seen duty on a carrier, but not on a battlewagon. He decided that the orders were a bunch of hogwash, so he ordered everything laid out for the noon meal as if they were under normal conditions. They said that, after a long talk with the captain, it never happened again.
Yes, they do move sideways, and they do roll in the water.
February 17, 2002, 01:52 PM
With all due respect, I believe you may have heard a "sea story", embellished for its' effect on a young landlubber. (Hey, up until I started reseaching it this morning, I believed it, too. :o )
Iowa's port rail appears to be somewhat less than awash, here.

February 17, 2002, 03:03 PM
OK, 40oz, I think you've just told the BEST sea story of all time. :)
Also one that is patently untrue.
The movement and roll that we're talking about is, really, barely perceptible, certainly NOT what was recounted to you.
My other concern is the concept of the recoil slides. Yes, there are, and have to be, very effective recoil absorption mechanisms for these guns.
But I'm not sure that they can totally negate the backward thrust of the guns to the point where it is totally cancelled out. I'm not at all sure that's possible.
I think we're also getting wrapped around the axel here over what qualifies as "sideways movement." Even if the ship only moves a millimeter, it's still sideways movement caused by the firing of the guns.
And finally, Tam, just for you...
February 17, 2002, 03:11 PM
According to a good friend of mine, Lt. Col. Stone, the New Jersey, at least, does slide sideways after firing a full broadside. He observed this from an RC-135 flying off the coast of Vietnam. I don't recall just how high the aircraft was flying, and I suppose it could be entirely apocryphal, but according to him, you could see a puff of smoke from the guns, and the ship would recoil from the guns, and then slide back some distance. Obviously at altitude it is impossible to observe exact distances, but just moving a ship like that is pretty impressive.
February 17, 2002, 08:14 PM
I think I most assuredly heard some sea stories in those days, especially embellished for a small boy's entertainment. To be honest, I never gave it any thought until I experienced it myself, to a smaller degree, of course, on board the USS Galveston during exercises off the California coast in the early 1960s. The ship had two 6"/47 turrets with three guns each, and three 5"/38 DP mounts, with a SAM battery aft. At one point during the two week exercises, we were required to simulate shore bombardment with the "big guns." At one point, the guns were firing with just the right timing that they got the ship rocking and rolling so much that the captain had to order a check fire to allow the ship to settle.
When firing under these circumstances, the ship stops all engines, a condition known as "underway with no way on." I may have misspelled it. This gives the most stable gun platform possible. Of course, the position has to be regained with rudder and screws from time to time, but not after every salvo, since the stable element (i.e. computer) can be adjusted to compensate for the change due to recoil.
During my first hitch, I was a fire control technician. I cut my teeth on 5"/38 guns on an old WWII 2250 can, the USS Cowell, long since relegated to the scrap heap.
Mike, thanks for the compliment, but they weren't my stories. I just passed 'em on.
Gotta quit for now. Time to go to work. Maybe more later.
February 17, 2002, 08:53 PM
But I'm not sure that they can totally negate the backward thrust of the guns to the point where it is totally cancelled out. I'm not at all sure that's possible.
I think another aspect we are forgetting is that even though a battleship is very solid, it is not completely so. All of the energy of recoil is not translated into a sideways vector force. The hull itself is going to absorb lots of energy before a sideways force is even exerted.

February 18, 2002, 02:01 AM
Screws = propellers.
Or maby seaborn cops.
February 18, 2002, 02:27 AM
Vad Seems like impulse would be a factor here also. Moving 12 feet over time is not as disruptive as moving over a very short moment of time. And this movement would be initially a rotational movement about the axis of the ship.
On the same subject- when the mini-cannon on the Warthog is fired you can see and feel a drop in air speed.
I wonder how far I can go in my canone and a couple of cans of .50bmg's

I heard about a new helper being sent for a bucket of volts. He went to the storeroom, and they played along, telling him he needed a stock slip signed by the foreman.

Yes, you are right. You can see that people have done the Newtonian equations, there.
The same force that accelerates 12.1 tons of 16" shells to their muzzle velocity accelerates the 57,000ton ship to .46 feet-per-second (in a frictionless environment with the guns @ 0* elevation).

On the Italian Littorio class BB of WW II (9 x 15" guns in triple turrets), the guns on a single turret were not fired simultaneously because the blast caused too much dispersion of the group. There was a slight delay between the two outer guns and the center gun.
Neither of the Yamato class BB of WW II ever fired a broadside. While their turrets were certainly capable of turning 90 degrees port/starboard, the ship was not designed for the resultant blast damage and stress.
The only "cruisers" the USN had with 12" guns is the Alaska (Alaska & Guam) class super heavy cruisers. While they would be rated as battlecruisers by other navies (being classified as CB - large cruisers), they were not called as such by the USN. They were very much "white elephants" built to satisfy Roosevelt's demand for ships to counter the German Scharnhorst class and the imagined Japanese super heavy cruisers/battle cruisers (planned, but never built). In a sense, they were very much a cruiser unfettered by pre-war limitations. Very handsome ships.
BTW, anybody in the SF Bay Area should stop by Suisun Bay. The battleship Iowa is part of the Reserve (ahem, "mothball") Fleet. I saw it when I passed by on Amtrack.

this shot from the New Jersey's 1968 cruise shows the flash from No.1 turret developing, with two projectiles visible in the top left-hand corner of the picture. In a nominal broadside there is a 0.06 second delay between each gun in the turret firing to avoid aerodynamic interference between the projectiles
Mk VII
February 20, 2002, 08:32 AM
in this shot taken a moment later the blast pressure wave is developing on the water's surface. It is this, more than anything else, which gives the impression that the ship has moved sideways. But nine 1900 lb shells cannot make any appeciable movement of a 57,000 ton battleship

February 23, 2002, 07:35 PM
of the firing of the main battery on the Iowas was so that the pressure wave (shockwave) from each projectile would not interfere with each other. With the .05 second delay between each gun barrel firing, the aerodynamic interference of each projectile was negated. There actulally is a preset sequence for the 'simultaneous' firing. IIRC, it is C-R-L. Now you're gonna make me go look it up again, aren't you?!
Also, reports that I have seen (read) about the various batteries on the Iowas, the crew found the blast pressure from the 5"/38s as more viscous than the main 16" guns.
And NO! The ship does not move on firing!

Bad defense has been a Hoosier tradition for more than a generation, but that seems poised to change thanks to a new coordinator (Brian Knorr), a new scheme (a 3-4 front) and maturing talent.
"We have high expectations and the coaches have high expectations for us," Cooper said. "We just have to stay consistent, stay in the film room and keep that going throughout the season."
Today is the official start of practice and expectations are everywhere you look around the program. This is the start of coach Kevin Wilson's fourth season and everything seems in place for the first bowl trip since 2007. IU returns 18 starters, 59 lettermen, one of the Big Ten's best offensive lines, tailbacks and quarterbacks, plus brings in one of its best-ever recruiting classes.
"We're really ready and prepared to have an outstanding preseason," Wilson said. "We'll need one.
"Even with so many returning players, we have a number of freshmen I would anticipate being in the mix to compete and play this year.
"We're looking forward to a lot of great things."
Greatness is boosted by that offensive line. Despite being rocked by injuries last season, Indiana still averaged 38.4 points. Now there is depth at every line position, with veterans Jason Spriggs, Bernard Taylor, Dan Feeney, Collin Rahrig and Peyton Eckert leading the way.
"I think it's one of the better offensive lines in the league," Wilson said. "Last year our starting right guard and starting right tackle missed all 12 games. We were able to accomplish decent offensive numbers with basically half the line out.
"Now we've got every lineman returning, and only two seniors are in that crowd."
As far as the defense, IU brings in 15 newcomers to add to nine returning starters.
"You'll see some young guys in the mix," Wilson said. "We're going to be young. We're going to be more athletic. We're making a change. We're going to be a work in progress. But from what I saw in the spring, we're going to be significantly improved on D."
Freshmen also figure to make an offensive impact, particularly at wide receiver with Dominique Booth, J-Shun Harris, Simmie Cobbs and Coray Keel.
"Dominique Booth, I forget sometimes is a freshman," senior receiver Shane Wynn said. "J-Shun Harris looks just like I did when I came in. Simmie Cobbs and Coray are two guys that will definitely help us outside."

The Peninsula Humane Society is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for shooting a dog in Menlo Park on or just before Aug. 1.
The 4- to 5-year-old male, brown Chihuahua was paralyzed from the waist down as a result of the injury, said Scott Delucchi, spokesman for the humane society. The dog had been shot "with some kind of projectile," according to the society's medical team.
The dog was "humanely euthanized" on Aug. 1 "after tests confirmed his dire condition," Mr. Delucchi said.
Residents of 1300 block of Henderson Avenue in Menlo Park found the dog in front of their home unable to walk and in pain.
X-rays confirmed the dog had a severed spine, Mr. Delucchi said.
The humane society is looking for leads in what "would most certainly be a felony animal cruelty case," he said. Anyone with information is asked to call the society's lead investigator, Christina Hanley, at (650) 340-7022, ext. 384.

ECM Post Review, North Branch
Authorities including the FBI are still searching for the man who robbed Northwoods Bank, 1275 W. 4th St., in Rush City last week.
According to the Chisago County Sheriff's Office, the suspect, described as a white male, about 5 feet 7 inches tall and 220 pounds, entered the bank at 12:48 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19 and advised the teller that he had a gun and demanded cash.
The suspect then handed the teller a plastic grocery bag and fled with an undisclosed amount of money in a vehicle described as a black, two-door passenger compact, authorities said. The bank is located a few storefronts west of Rush City Foods.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension noted the suspect is about 50 to 55 years old, between 5 foot 7 inches and 5 foot 9 inches tall, with a grey mustache. He also was wearing a hunter green jacket with hood and sunglasses, while the vehicle he fled in was dirty with a loud exhaust.
Anyone with tips or information that may aid in the investigation is urged to call the Minneapolis bureau of the FBI at 763-569-8000 or Chisago County Sheriff's Office at 651-257-4100.

In moments of relaxation, it's not a bad idea to revisit Terrace Martin's sublime ode to Marvin Gaye with 2010's, Here, My Dear.
"I Had No Idea" masquerades as a chameleon of sorts. Smooth enough for night portion of cookouts, but heavy enough in content to draw from our own experiences, Martin's wizardry – both vocally and instrumentally – acts as the ideal and polar opposite host to Kendrick Lamar's aggression-filled rant to a young woman who played him for a fool one time too many.
A prelude to aftermath of Sherane, perhaps?

La ubicación es excelente, con alquiler de bicicletas cerca. Starbucks en el lugar y un McDonalds y CVS en la misma cuadra. Camionetas con comida cerca. Muy limpio. Camas cómodas y ropa de cama. Silbato del tren durante toda la noche.
Muy buena ubicacion para conocer Washington. Si vas en fin de semana, es una zona muy solitaria al ser de oficinas. El personal de la recepción no es demasiado amable, no hace muhco por ayudar.
Práctico, cómodas habitaciones con muy buen servicio. Recientemente renovado y volveremos Máquina de hielo estaba vacía.
Es un tío y deprimente lugar. No es bueno para las vacaciones. Uso para negocios quizás.
I was really impressed with how beautiful the room was decorated and SO clean. I'm very impressed. This is coming from a mom of 2 kids and an aunt of a year old baby we took with us to the trip. The only sour note was how we got billed twice and the staff was not up to par when it comes to service. If they improve this bit then this hotel would be 5 stars in rating.
Construction ongoing adjacent to hotel, but we couldn't hear any of the noise. Close to the Washington Mall and most of the sites you will visit. We will be back.
This hotel was in a great location. Most monuments were a short walk away. The only negative was that there is not a lot of dining options in this area. There is a Potbelly deli, McDonalds, Quiznos Subs, and a Starbucks within walking distance; but if you're looking for more of a sit-down meal you'd have to go to Chinatown (which is just a short Metro ride or walk away). The Metro is right around the corner from the hotel. The pool and hot tub area could use some updating.
This hotel is within walking distance to the National Mall. It is also within walking distance of a grocery store, serveral sandwich shops, and in a nice quiet neighborhood. The free hot breakfast was nice. There were eggs, muffins, potatos, make your own waffles, friut, yogurt, sausage,oatmeal ect so something for everyone. Staff was helpful and courteous, rooms clean.
Family of 4... we all loved our stay, easy metro access we stayed 5 days flew into Reagen National, did not need a car, used metro or easy walk to many sights. Breakfast bar is awesome & dinners at night M-W were also good , hot cookies & cocoa or coffee each night in lobby & rooms were spacious & clean, every detail covered, comfy bedding , great hot shower, offered privacy w/ suite arrangement w/ 2nd T.V.my son loved the indoor pool at night & the in room nintendo---Would most def. stay here again, a good value overall, esp. for the location.
Stay here, you'll love it. Professional, helpful staff, Large clean rooms, all are suites. Priced very reasonable for DC . Very secure, must have room key to operate elevators, get to pool, laundry area etc. Within walking distance to Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Breakfast could use more items, but they serve supper M-W nights, ice cream Thur night, and have a movie night Sat. Scary (very narrow) to get into underground garage. Large weight room, indoor pool. Large Laundry area on site . Only one restaurant close by. so go to Union station to eat supper.
Stayed here for 5 nights on a trip with a friend. Although directly next to the hotel, there was nothing around, it was only a couple blocks away from the Metro, which could take you anywhere in the city. If you have a car, the parking is rather steep, but there we found parking nearby very easily. Close to all the sights, we had really enjoyed our stay. Staff was friendly, had a free breakfast every morning, and if we got tired, we could come back quickly to rest for a few hours. There were plates, utensils, glasses, microwave, dishwasher, and even pots, pans, and a stove for those times we wanted to reheat our leftovers from the night before. Great way to save money on food! The only con I had was that the hotel was not that close to the nightlife or Duport Circle.. So if you wanted to go to any clubs, you would have to drive or take the Metro.
This hotel was awesome! The staff was friendly, the room was very comfortable, complementary breakfast was wonderful.
Hotel was great - suites easily accom myself, my wife and our 4 year old. Pool was small but good, good fitness centre. Location to museums and metra fantastic - just a short walk. Staff very helpful. Best dining option was taxi to Chinatown, or delivery
The staff went out of there way to help us free welcome and were very helpful. The directions they gave to help us get around city were excellent. The Service staff that when shopping for our groceries was very conscience of the fact we were a girl scout troop on a budget.
El personal era servicial en el clima húmedo
Buena ubicación, buen hotel, habitación limpia, cerca de metro No está incluido el desayuno, no hay servicio de habitación

Under the guise of modernizing the Veterans Memorial Building, we are plunking down a huge multi-use edifice in downtown Danville. Read the July 23 agenda of the Design Review Board meeting. The request is for a 6,089-square-foot addition to the existing 6,625-square-foot building, and three separate variances to the Town's Downtown Business District Ordinance.
These variances cover everything from pushing the front and the side of the Vet's Hall forward in the first case, and to the sidewalk in the second case. All nine redwood trees mainly on the side of the property and the two cedar trees that provide the ambiance and shade to the front of the Vet's Hall are to be removed.
Red warning flags should have gone up on this project a long time ago. Beverly Lane is correct that we are attempting to do too much with this small building. Two platform terraces are to be built on the front of the Vet's Hall. Their height, including their walls and railings, bury the existing staircase and visually cut off from view the bottom half of the "historic entrance." They completely change the front appearance of the building.
I took my set of the plans and sat across Hartz Avenue and looked at the front of the building. If the left platform is not built and the wall dropped from the right platform to only use railings, this desecration is alleviated. Leave the cedar trees alone.
Although we are supposed to be "retaining the historic front portion of the building," we are not doing it. Please do not expect these modifications to happen. This is a minor adjustment.
The biggest problem is that the overall concept is too inclusive. Rather than accommodating the tri-use of veterans, community and senior center, eliminate the senior center portion of the building. At a previous meeting, Town Manager Joe Calabrigo explained that during construction, senior activities will be housed in different town facilities. Good, keep them there.
Why? So the 225 people attending community center functions have more outdoor space to mill about as they exit the three doors onto Prospect Avenue. They would then have the sidewalk and back area of the building to hang out in. This would double the outdoor space available. This would also eliminate the need for a variance so that 44 feet of the side of the building can encroach to the edge of the sidewalk on Prospect Avenue. And also the stage could be located at its correct location at the rear of the Vet's Hall rather than being in front of the entrance.
Although many thoughtful individuals and various representative groups are involved, and the process has been uniquely transparent and open, there is a lost focus. Rather than focus on the building itself and its unique site, we attempted to accommodate, to the maximum, all the wants and needs of everyone involved. It is now become a building "by Committee" and this juggernaut will not be modified, and cannot be stopped.

Want a side salad with that Big Mac?
McDonald's says it will start giving customers the choice of a salad, fruit or vegetable as a substitute for french fries in its value meals.
McDonald's Corp. will roll out the change early next year in the U.S., where people will be able to pick a salad instead of fries at no extra cost. McDonald's says it already lets customers make such swaps in some countries, such as France.
But now it says it will work to make the options available in 20 of its biggest markets around the world, which represent 85 percent of sales. McDonald's, which has more than 34,000 locations around the world, said the change will be in place in 30 percent to 50 percent of the areas within the next three years and all the regions by 2020.
The world's biggest hamburger chain made the announcement at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City, where CEO Don Thompson made an appearance on stage with former President Bill Clinton.
In an interview before the announcement, Thompson said McDonald's is looking at developing other healthy sides that will appeal to customers. He noted that McDonald's could also take the fruits and vegetables it offers in other parts of the world, such as cups of corn and kiwi on a stick, and make them more widely available.
"What is it that customers will choose, and what will they eat?" Thompson said. "What we don't want to do is just put something on the menu and say, 'hey, we did it.' We really want consumption."
McDonald's also announced that it would use packaging to make healthier options more attractive for kids. For example, a side of carrots might come in a more colorful, appealing bag. Parents will still be able to order soda with Happy Meals, but McDonald's says it will only promote milk, juice and water on menu boards and in advertising. All advertising to kids will include a "fun nutrition or children's well-being" message, the company said.
The changes follow an announcement by rival Burger King on Tuesday that it would launch a new crinkle-cut french fry that it says has about 20 percent fewer calories than its regular fries. They also come as McDonald's faces criticism from health advocates who say it promotes bad eating habits. After years of outperforming its rivals, McDonald's is also struggling to shake its fast-food image and keep up with shifting tastes. Late last year, McDonald's reported its first monthly sales decline in nearly a decade and sales performance around the world has been choppy ever since.

If your wife's hands are small, the problems the 92 could pose probably won't be with the weight of the trigger pull. I'd imagine her hand strength probably isn't bad, toting newborns around all day. The reach is probably going to be the issue, especially the DA reach. The 92 has a big grip. A long reach can force the shooter to rotate the gun, muzzle to the outside, relative to the shooting hand in order to engage the trigger. This tends to pull shots, and amplify perceived recoil.
She should pick out her own gun, when you buy the next. It should fit her hands, so she can get the pad or first joint of her trigger finger on the trigger while keeping the gun aligned with the long bones of her forearm. This will help with trigger control, sight alignment, and recoil control.
Not sure where the nearest range that has rental guns is, relative to your location, but if possible, it's always good to let people try a variety to find out what fits best, and what works best for them. If it's painful to shoot, they generally won't put in the practice time.
Expense is another factor. A .22LR, similar in operation and feel to the centerfire primary, can be a very good idea. So can conversion kits (the Kadet for the CZ75, for example), which let you practice with the same frame and trigger, by changing out the slide, barrel, magazine, and recoil spring. Conversion kits run in the $300 ballpark in many cases, so they are in the same price range as many regular .22 pistols, but I actually prefer the conversions on guns for which they are available. (Using the same grip and trigger really does help.)

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (KNSI) Former state legislator Jim Knoblach says a ruling is expected this week on whether the Minnesota Supreme Court will take up his lawsuit that attempts to stop construction of a new $90 million Senate office building and parking ramp just north of the State Capitol.
Knoblach--a Republican--sued in October seeking an injunction to stop design and construction of the project, calling it a, "glaring waste of money."
Knoblach says the State Supreme Court is expected to announce very soon whether they will take up the case after it was dismissed by a judge at the district court level.
Knoblach contends the project may violate the state constitution by authorizing construction in a tax bill rather than the bonding bill.
Right now, Minnesota's 67 senators are split up between two buildings.
Knoblach recently announced an attempt at a political comeback. He's running for the House District 14B seat now held by DFL'er Zachary Dorholt. Knoblach last served in the legislature in 2006.

Presidential elections in the United States, increasing budgetary constraints on the Gillard government and the European debt crisis are among factors expected to weigh on Australian health stocks as
While a doubling in the proportion of Australians older than 65 is set to underpin earnings for healthcare companies in the longer term, investors and analysts are more concerned about the current global economic and regulatory uncertainty.
A collective global belt-tightening by governments under pressure is expected to weigh on the healthcare sector, with Australia among countries looking to cut healthcare spending, in part by means testing the 30 per cent private health insurance rebate.
With the US Republican presidential primaries heating up and the possibility of a Republican leading the nation, some local healthcare stocks with US earnings exposure may benefit if President
Under what has been dubbed ObamaCare, individuals will be mandated to buy health insurance and some 32 million additional Americans will become insured after 2014. But three Republican candidates, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum, want to reverse ObamaCare, which includes a tax on medical device makers.
CBA analyst Natalie Kelly said while it was early days, the sectors that could benefit from a reversal were medical devices and pathology.
"ResMed and Cochlear both stand to benefit from the removal of the medical device industry tax, and Sonic Healthcare would receive a small benefit from the removal of the productivity adjustment factor and the negative adjustment to the clinical lab fee schedule between 2011 and 2015," she said.
While the US presidential election will have an impact on health stocks in the longer term, there are challenges over the rest of fiscal 2012 for the healthcare sector, said RBS analyst Derek Jellinek.
"Near-term challenges remain, with soft earnings growth/momentum, underwhelming valuation, foreign exchange and global uncertainties including execution of pathology funding and the ongoing debate on private health insurance means testing in Australia," he said.
Nomura analyst Dave Stanton said Australian growth looked pretty solid this earnings season, while overseas growth has the potential to weaken. Results were tipped to be in line with expectations but currency exchange rates might affect earnings. He pointed to a stronger Australian dollar versus its US counterpart affecting more companies with greater offshore earnings, such as Ansell, Cochlear, CSL, ResMed and Sonic.
While healthcare was a fairly defensive sector, it was not immune to an economic downturn, he said.
The S&P/ASX 300 Health Index has slightly underperformed the S&P/ASX 300 over the past 12 months.
Dr Stanton said he would be looking for any update on Australian pathology growth rates and industry conditions, which could affect Primary and Sonic. The strong market position of latex glove and condom maker
He said of the 30 members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Australia was an attractive healthcare market because it had relatively low levels of healthcare expenditure as a percentage of gross domestic product and low average growth rates of total expenditure on health per capita.
"Ultimately, we believe the absolute amount and rate of growth of healthcare spending will need to increase in line with the ageing population."
The RBS top picks in the sector are Sonic, Cochlear and Ansell on strong growth and capital return potential, while UBS likes sleep therapy company ResMed. UBS said it expected the company to report weak US flow generator growth in second quarter on Friday but it still believed ResMed's net profit would grow in excess of 10 per cent a year.
UBS analyst Dan Hurren said Ramsay, which was trading at a high premium to market, could suffer if the means test was implemented.
The fear is that introducing a means test for the 30 per cent rebate for private health insurance could prompt couples earning more than $150,000 to cancel or at least review their cover.
"While there is no immediate impact on hospital profitability, it will, in the mid to long term, weigh on the profitability of insurers," Mr Hurren said. "When the profitability of insurers is under pressure, their customers and the hospitals will also come under pressure. We think this legislation is likely to be passed this year."

Crude Jude brings role to life in 'Dom Hemingway'
April 2, 2014
As "Dom Hemingway" opens, the titular character stands naked while giving a prolonged monologue about his privates. He is not a particularly likeable man — at first, you want to punch him and about half way into the film, you wish he would leave the screen forever. However, the film eventually manages to win you over with its gleefully wicked charm, courtesy of Jude Law's hilariously unhinged performance as Dom.
A safecracker by trade, Dom spent 12 years in prison for keeping his boss' secrets, and now he wants the reward from that employer — Mr. Fontaine (Demián Bichir). Bringing along his partner in crime Dickey (Richard E. Grant), Dom confronts Fontaine for the hush money. But the deal goes awry, and Dom hits rock bottom having lost his money, shelter and dignity.
Unlike other British gangster films that overly indulge in style and excessive violence, writer-director Richard Shepard makes "Dom Hemingway" a comedic character study of an anti-hero at a crossroads with his career and family.
The film consists of a collection of vignettes rather than a straightforward narrative, aided by title cards that introduce each chapter of Dom's post-prison life. Despite Dom's predilection for substance abuse and loose women, he has a heart of gold.
The film presents emotional scenes in a cliché way as Dom tries to make peace with his wife's death and reconnect with his long-lost daughter Evelyn (Emilia Clarke), yet viewers begrudgingly develop sympathy for his character. A dozen years in prison is a long time, and audiences respect Dom enough that they want to see him succeed.
Karma becomes another anchor for the film when Dom saves a woman after a car crash. She tells him that he will have good luck in the future for his good deed. Though the plot point is a lazy way to move the story along, it still manages to reveal more of Dom's soft interior, which is often overshadowed by his chubby, chain-smoking exterior.
Although the majority of crude humor in the film is entertaining — particularly the banter between Dom and Dickey — occasionally the dialogue is so vulgar that it distracts from the joke.
The film is very much like its indelicate titular character. At first, it is difficult to enjoy because it spits in the audience's face with obnoxious attitude. But, over time, viewers will begin to surreptitiously chuckle at the antics until the last shot of the film, after which they will leave sporting the same ear-to-ear grin as Dom himself.

YES--the back area always has more fat than you even realize! This fat can be used for the Brazilian Butt Lift. It is not unusual for me to collect 1.5 pounds of fat from Liposuction of the back area.

Brazilian Butt Lift
During Brazilian Butt Lift, fat is liposuctioned from various parts of the body. The fat can be taken from anywhere that is typically treated with liposuction - abdomen, back, thighs, arms, etc. The fat is then processed with a centrifuge to remove the fluid and concentrate the fat cells. These fat cells are then injected in the buttocks for Brazilian Butt Lift or the breast or the hand or face to add volume.
Good Luck.

Places to get fat for a brazilian butt lift.
Hello. A Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure where fat is removed (with liposuction) from one area - or mulitple areas - of the body, and then placed into the buttocks. The fat may be taken from anywhere upon your body where there is extra fatty tissue. Some of the most common areas include: the abdomen, waist/flanks, lower back, upper back, thighs, arms, etc. Good luck. Joe Alkon, MD

Upper back fat, lower back fat, side fat, and belly fat can all be used for transfer in the Brazilian buttlift procedure. in addition, upper arm fat, lateral thigh, medial thigh, posterior thigh, and pubic fat can all be transferred. Any place fat is distributed, liposuction may be appropriate.
Back fat for Brazilian Butt lift
Absolutely. The upper back fat can definitely be transfered to the buttock, as well as the abdominal and flank fat. In fact, some surgeons would argue that the most stubborn fat (or as you put it "the last to go") may actually be more suitable for transfer.
Brazilian Butt Lift
Hello, thanks for your question. The answer is yes, fat from the back can be harvested for use in the BBL procedure. Other common areas of harvesting fat are the abdomen, thighs, hips, flanks, and arms. The fat is removed from the body by liposuction and then harvested and injected into the buttocks to add more volume. Hope this helps! Good Luck.
Yes, any fat that can be harvested can be used for BBL
Thank you for the question. Any fat that can be harvested can be used for BBL. So if you have excess fat in the upper back that can be thinned by harvesting it and placed in your buttocks as part of your Brazilian Buttock Lift. I would recommend consultation with several board certified plastic surgeons that have experience in BBL and can show you good before and after photos. Discuss with them what you would like to have accomplished and then decide on what areas would be needed for fat harvest to accomplish your goal.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta

Can upper back fat be used for tor the BBL?
The BBL can use donor fat from many parts of the body. The abdomen, waist, thighs and upper back are frequent donor sites. By removing fat from these areas you further accentuate the improvement achieved with the BBL. Good luck!

Heshun Town is a breathtaking, eternally charming place nestled 3 kilometers in the west side of Tengchong County. Heshun, which translates to peace and harmony, still holds simplicity and tranquility that Lijang Old Town has lost due to commercialization in the last 10 years.
In here, you'll be mesmerized with many ornamental structures, which include archways, pavilions, lotus ponds, and marble balustrades. Heshun is known not just for its simplicity and natural beauty but also for being the birthplace of well-known, successful Chinese merchants overseas.
Things to do
Despite modern technology, Heshun is a well-preserved town. Old customs and traditions that began even before Ming and Qing dynasties are maintained and are still practiced by villagers. The town boasts of willow trees, luscious green spaces, charming lotus flowers, and smooth-flowing rivers that attract nature lovers, painters, and even film directors.
Most tourists visit Heshun to explore the place, to take pictures, and to film movies. Some of the town's attraction includes the following:
Museum-like residences
Take a stroll on the streets of Heshu and be amazed with museum-like residences that were carefully preserved for centuries. One of the highlights is the Li family mansion that can be found just behind the local library. This was the house of Yunnan's richest family in the 19th century. The family made a fortune by selling jade and jewelries. But just like most Heshu residents, most family members are now living overseas doing business.
Heshun Library
This is the biggest township-level library in the country. Built in 1928 using wood and stone, it looks more like a college campus. The library boasts a collection of 70,000 books and over 10,000 of these are considered rare finds. This library attracts and benefits scholars from different parts of the globe. The library features old magazines that tourists can look at but touching them is forbidden. In 1980, the library was listed as a provincial cultural relic and computers were included to empower local people to share their stories with the world online.
Nearby Attractions
Volcano Park
Tengchong is the home of 97 volcanoes with well-preserved cones and craters. However, there are now only six volcanoes with visible massifs that tourists can enjoy along with lava terraces. Entry costs Y20 and tourists can climb the steps leading to Dakong Shan, the largest volcano. From up there, you'll be greeted with excellent view of Heikong Shan and other surrounding areas. Travel guides can also organize hot air balloon trip for Y100 for interested tourists.
Behai Wetland Nature Reserve
The peaceful and quiet Beihai Wetland can be found in the southwest part of Tengchong County and is 12.5 km away from the city proper. Surrounded by mountains on its four sides and with an area of 16 square kilometers, Beihai is part of the ecosystem of a volcanic lake plateau. Tourists visit the place to see rice paddies, bamboo bridges, and a peaceful river.
Rehai Hot Sea
Tourists who love hot springs will find Rehai Hot Sea exceptionally relaxing. Rehai is actually not a sea but a group of geothermal hot springs amid steams. Tourists are treated with hot steams flowing out of steep slope, thick woods, and grounds in the valley. 14 springs reach 90 degree centigrade or even higher depending on the season. Some even surpass local boiling point.
Solo Adventure Tips:
How to Get There?

"The Wyoming Cancer Plan for 2016-20 is intended as a strategic, comprehensive and integrated action plan with focus areas including cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment, quality of life, childhood cancer and advocacy," said Jessica Perez, Wyoming Comprehensive Cancer Control Program outreach coordinator with the Wyoming Department of Health. The plan can be viewed on the WYCC website at www.fightcancerwy.com. "To create this plan, WYCC members evaluated the work of the past five years and recommended changes in direction and focus to strengthen the impact of Wyoming's cancer-fighting efforts," Perez said. "All Wyoming residents are affected one way or the other by cancer and can have a role in the fight against cancer." Perez said the Wyoming Cancer Plan lays out goals that would represent significant progress in reducing the burden of cancer among all state residents. "We invite residents who are interested in helping accomplish these goals to learn more and to get involved." The coalition has scheduled a meeting for March 4 at the Ramkota Hotel in Casper beginning at 9:30 a.m. to unveil the plan.

Kuma War 2 lets you recreate Osama bin Laden raid
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, First Person Shooters, PC
Developer Kuma Games has released an update to its first-person-shooter Kuma War 2 that allows gamers to protect—or kill—Osama Bin Laden. And this isn't just some Unreal Tournament-style skin job: No, Kuma Games has faithfully recreated a map based on the assault on Bin Laden's Abbottabad, Pakistan compound.
The mission, "Osama 2011," comes as the 107th and likely final update to the company's free squad-based first-person shooter. When joining the game, Kuma War players are automatically assigned to one of two teams for the final Bin Laden mission: U.S. Navy SEALS, tasked with killing Bin Laden and recovering the body, or Bin Laden defenders, who have to save Bin Laden from harm by eliminating all opposing players.
"At Kuma, we are very sensitive and respectful of American and coalition soldiers and the sacrifices they are making every day," said Kuma Games CEO Keith Halper in an interview with Forbes. "We hope that by telling their stories with such a powerful medium that we enable the American public to gain a better appreciation of the conflicts and the dangers they face."

The dude that 'livetweeted' the bin Laden raid got hacked
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Social Media, Software
Sohaib Athar, the man who accidentally livetweeted the raid on Osama bin Laden has been hacked, he confirmed via Twitter.
Athar, who goes by the Twitter handle @ReallyVirtual, said early this morning that his blog, which was linked via his Twitter page, had been infected with malware. Websense, for its part, said in a blog post that the poorly detected malware used a "blackhole exploit kit" to serve the malware. Not surprisingly, Websense said that its customers were protected.
"Anyone going to this page would also load content from the malicious URL above, and the Blackhole Exploit Kit would then try to use several exploits to automatically install malware on the PC," the firm wrote. "The malware that the drive-by-download attempts to install is a fake system tool named 'WindowsRecovery' that claims to have found problems on the victim's computer."
The malware then would have hidden all the files and folders in the user's hard drive and desktop - then offer to restore them for a price, which a Websense graphic indicated was $79.50.
It wasn't clear from Athar's account whether he had successfully removed the malware from his blog or taken it down.

U.S. officials seize bin Laden hard drives and data, hit "mother lode"
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Storage
"Can you imagine what's on Osama bin Laden's hard drive?"
That's the question a U.S. official posed to Politico recently in an article that revealed the government is now in possession of the deceased terrorist leader's computers.
The Navy SEALs who infiltrated bin Laden's compound Sunday, killing him and several others, also confiscated computer drives and disks that the U.S. official said was "the mother lode of intelligence." The contents of those machines are currently being torn apart at a secret location in Afghanistan.
"It's going to be great even if only 10 percent of it is actionable," the official told Politico.

Osama bin Laden's compound added to Google Maps (Updated)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Google, Internet
Update: We've updated the image.
Hot on the heels of the announcement that Osama bin Laden had been killed by US forces, Google has updated Google Maps to show the location of bin Laden's compound. Above, you can see how it looks with satellite view turned on. Just search for "Osama bin Laden Compound" in Google Maps to get a look yourself.

Re-signing Benoit Pouliot should be priority for Rangers
As the mourning period for coming up short in the quest for the Stanley Cup is ever so brief, Glen Sather and the Rangers braintrust will now turn their focus to solidifying the squad to make a run again next season. Benoit Pouliot, who's set to become an unrestricted free agent, should be among the club's top priorities.
While Pouliot was far from the Rangers most productive player in terms of finding the scoresheet, you could make a pretty good argument that he was among their best players throughout the playoffs.
Although Pouliot accounted for just five goals and ten points in 25 games, he was consistently one of the Rangers most complete players when he was on the ice. Once considered a first round bust of sorts (4th overall in 2005, Minnesota), Pouliot has come to be the type of player that the analytics community highlight as an effective player.
Pouliot has spent the past five seasons playing on one year deals, representing a great bargain in stints with Montreal, Boston, Tampa Bay, and the Rangers. His days of living off of short-term deals are over. He's a physical player with some offensive upside, who's routinely shades on the positive side of possession data. Pouliot will be the recipient of a multi-year deal this offseason, it just remains to be seen where he ends up.
Larry Brooks of the New York Post pegged Pouliot for something in the $2-$2.4 million range, annually. Let's say that gets the conversation started, although it's more likely bidding for the 6-foot-3 winger pushes the price tag up over $3 million and closer to $4 million.
Jettisoning a worn out and overpaid piece like Brad Richards is integral to the Rangers' chances at finding postseason success again in 2014-15. The Rangers enter the offseason with roughly $17 million in cap space under the estimated $70 million ceiling for next year, with commitments to seven forwards, four defensemen, and Henrik Lundqvist plus one in goal. That $6.66 million cap hit designated for Richards could come in handy to adding some key players this summer.
Pouliot teamed with pending restricted free agents Derick Brassard and Mats Zuccarello to form one of the Rangers most effective lines in 2013-14. An effort to replicate the Rangers postseason success of this past season starts with bringing back that trio, along with Pouliot's fellow UFA and postseason standout, Anton Stralman.
It's a story we've watched unfold so many times before. A player steps up and makes a name for himself in the playoffs by finding the back of the net at a rate far beyond his previous expectancy. It's Fernando Pisani's unforgettable 14-goal performance with the Edmonton Oilers in 2005-06, or Ville Leino's 21-point effort with the Philadelphia Flyers in 2009-10. Both of those players turned surprising playoff performances into long-term deals, and both eventually faded into oblivion, with Leino a lock for a compliance buyout from the Buffalo Sabres this summer.
If the Rangers hold any kind of advantage over prospective suitors, it's that Pouliot's contributions to their ill-fated run to the Final were not of the gaudy goal total variety, like Pisani and Leino before him. Sure, there will be several astute general managers who covet Pouliot's two-way ability and attempt to add him to their own rosters, but the x-factor of a shortsighted executive having his eyes lit up with "that's surefire 30-goal potential" will be looking elsewhere.
Exorcising the ghost of Richards, while practicing cap responsibility in reloading the bottom six should allow the Rangers the financial ability to bring back Pouliot and still have money for Stralman.

Perranporth 2 Penryn Athletic 1
Saturday marked another disappointing result for Penryn whose patchy start to 2014 continued at blustery Ponsmere Valley with a 2-1 defeat against Perranporth.
Reg Pearson scored both of Perranporth's goals, cancelling out Greg Hobbs's superb first minute opener and sending Penryn home empty handed.
Steve Jewell's side sit fifth in the table, some distance off a top three spot in division one west. Coupled with early exits from both the Senior and Throgmorton Cups, Penryn will probably welcome the summer break.
But there are eight league games left and Athletic still have pride, if not a promotion spot, to play for.
And against a Perranporth side featuring former striker Kayne Trevaskis they got off to the perfect start.
Right from the kick off the ball was laid back to defender Ben Oliver, who launched a searching ball forward for Ed Wilton to chest into the path of Greg Hobbs.
Hobbs launched a first-time shot from 35 yards out that rocketed over the head of Perranporth keeper Andy Butcher and into the back of the net.
The wind was already causiung both sides problems, as was the playing surface which was bumpy and uneven.
But Perranporth began to claw their way back into the game, and in the 24th minute they were back on equal terms when hard-working forward Paul Robertson held up play just outside the Penryn box.
Robertson slipped a fine ball inside for Reg Pearson to run on to, and he fired a low drive inside Chris Symons's far post.
Soon after the goal Penryn's Josh Hoon pulled up with an injury, and was replaced by veteran left back Will Scoley.
The visitors' only other chance of note in a tepid first half came when Sean Johnston saw his snap-shot tipped over the bar by Butcher.
With the wind at their backs during the second half, many of Perranporth's attacks ended with the ball being overhit and going into touch at the Penryn end.
Elsewhere Penryn's Ed Wilton - a former Perranporth player - came in for some rough treatment from Sam Mousterides, and later Justin Miles, with both players cautioned for cynical fouls on their ex-team mate.
Both sides were finding conditions tough to deal with, but Symons had to be at his best to stop a fierce drive by Josh Burton, and an awkward dipping shot by Jack James.
Then in the 76th minute a Burton corner looped into the box somehow eluded a cluster of players gathered in the goal mouth and dropped to Reg Pearson at the far post. He stooped low to direct a header into the roof of the net for the winner.
Penryn will look to bounce back next weekend when they host Porthleven at Kernick Road.
Port are another side to have struggled with form since the turn of the year, and Penryn will be keen to avenge their Throgmorton Cup defeat against the Fishermen earlier in the season.
Penryn: C Symons, D Blizzard, R May, K Faulkner, B Oliver, J Hoon (W Scoley 29), S Johnston, E Wilton, G Hobbs, D Broglino (T Cooke 80), K Lawrence. Subs (not used): P Baldwin.

The safest and easiest way to cut onions you wish you knew years ago
Unless you're a skilled chef, chopping onion can be annoying. If you're afraid you might slice your fingers and also want to know a much quicker way to slice an onion, the trick is to use something that's not from your kitchen – a hair pick! According to DaveHax YouTube channel, a hair pick helps you to slice and dice an onion perfectly ever single time. Get a sturdy stainless steel hair pick and stick it into the whole onion. Cut along the guides and you'll slice off perfectly sized rings for sandwiches or for frying onion rings.
If you want to dice the onion, cut the onion in half first, then lay it flat and follow the same procedure. After you cut it one way, rotate it 90 degrees, then dice it up. Slicing an onion isn't the most difficult thing in the world, but this method guarantees perfection, and could be useful learning tool for beginner cooks.
Watch this video to see how it's done…
Hair picks can be found in hair shops and online. You can also try this teasing comb:

"Although economic conditions generally have improved, pricing for airport privatizations is still far off the peak. Where investors once paid more than 30 times an airport's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, deals are now likely to yield less than half that multiple."The entire article is worth a read and can be found here. Below, Mr. Cahill sums up his conclusion regarding the proposed airport privatization.
"Holding off on a deal would produce the greatest benefit for the city, even if it means another major airport goes private first. Rather than selling at the bottom of the market, why not wait for prices to recover and learn from the mistakes of any city that rushes to the front of the privatization line?"

When Charlie Alexander Tucker steps into his office—a faded blue '67 Plymouth Fury—he is likely to be singing a snatch of his personal theme song:
My eyes have seen the glory
Of a million homes or more,
But there are a million more to welcome me
If I'm just able to approach their door.
To customers on his door-to-door sales route in Chattanooga, Tenn., Charlie doesn't seem to have that much trouble reaching the front door. Oh, he may have lost a step since that heart attack 10 years ago, and he has been laid up recently to have a tumor taken out. But at 90, the country's oldest active Fuller Brush salesman may just ring another million doorbells before he's done.
Tucker, the son of a farmer, began working at 13 in a small company store in the coalfields of southwestern Virginia. His duties included issuing dynamite to miners and driving the company truck, hauling groceries and occasionally the caskets of mining casualties. He took up selling after World War I when he saw a vendor hawking magazines and candy through the aisles of the train carrying him home from the Army. After two years working the rails between Bristol, Va., and Chattanooga, he switched to selling ladies' ready-to-wear until his employer went bankrupt during the Depression. Studying Help Wanted ads, he chose Fuller Brushes over insurance sales because "I knew even with things so hard, you could sell a toothbrush, a broom, a bowl brush faster than you could sell insurance. I knew there wasn't a home in America that didn't use something I would be selling."
Doors did sometimes slam in Charlie's face (one so hard the glass broke), but he persisted and by the mid-1950s was the third-best Fuller salesman in the country. "I reckon I just create a desire to overcome your resistance," he says, pondering the secret to his success. Charlie cut back to half days two years ago, a concession to age, but his enthusiasm remains as strong as his evening highball, a concoction of orange juice, bourbon and Pepsi that he makes by the jar and keeps in the fridge. "He just talks about those brushes in his sleep, selling and delivering them," says his wife, Neoma, 81. "I don't sell hard," counters Tucker, but then he admits, "On some calls, I have had people say that they didn't want to buy anything but they would if I'd just shut up."
