Interesting, and last month talked with a pilot or two that commented about the vertical landing mode.
They didn't use the throttle for vertical control, but rather the stick. Apparently, the horizontal motion is controlled with a "hat switch" on the throttle grip. Forgot to ask them about directional control, and it's prolly the rudder pedals. And that would make horizontal translation a left-right stick deflection.
The pilots said it was lots easier than the Harrier, and ex-Harrier folks adapted instantly. Push forward on stick and go down, pull back and go up, let go and stay where you are.
Anybody have more on this concept?

I remember talking to someone with the program and they said they made the hover mode (Mode 4? IIRC) controls the same as conventional flight controls. The goal was to make it more intuitive to pilots. Also he said almost all Harrier pilots crash the sim the first time, while non-Harrier pilots have no problem with hover mode.
Action: CTOL Mode reaction vs. STOVL Mode reaction
Push Throttle Forward: More Power/Go Faster/Forward Acceleration vs. Move Forward
Pull Throttle Back: Less Power/Go Slower/Backward Acceleration vs. Move Backward
Pull Stick Back: Nose Up/Go Higher vs. Go Higher
Push Stick Forward: Nose Down/Go Lower vs. Go Lower
Push Stick Right: Roll Right/Move Right vs. Move Right
Pull Stick Left: Roll Left/Move Left vs. Move Left
Rudder Left: Rotate Left vs. Rotate Left
Rudder Right: Rotate Right vs. Rotate Right
Anyway I have no flight experience but from the sim I have flown it seems very intuitive to me.

I think the automation is amazing and am sure it will dramatically reduce accident rates vs. the Harrier. On a related note to Gums' question, I am infinitely curious about the backup procedures/mechanisms in place during the B's transition and zero airspeed phases. With the additional dependence (and added possible point of failure) of the software,
- What sorts of backup modes does the FLCS software have to compensate for sudden mechanical issue i.e. nozzle issue / FOD / loss of thrust or symmetrical thrust etc
- If the computer fails is there an auto-eject sequence or is the pilot trained to be ready to recognize it and pull, etc
Gums, I always enjoy reading about your war stories and input on here. Look forward to hearing replies to your post.

The fact you can let go of the controls and it'll hold the hover shows just how far the VSTOL/STOVL world has come. You never.....NEVER....let go of ANYthing when hovering in the Harrier. If you could steer the jet with your butt crack you'd use it.
Why does "monosyllabic" have 5 syllables?

Thanks for nice words, Nerd
@ Link, et al I have the V-22 Dash One and it resembles the F-35 concept. It also does the magic hover trick. The one here at Eglin would zoom in at 200 feet and come a dead stop and sit there as if on a pedestal.
V-22 uses a left right switch on the collective/stick for translation and rudders to point the nose. The nacelle angle is a roller switch on the throttle.
As far as backup modes, only one I can see is a conventional landing. If the primary sftwe goes Able Sugar, then like the Viper you have nothing left but that handle between your legs.
Heading out to base now to try to get a glimpse.

If memory serves me, Sufa is correct. However, 'Harrier guys crashing it first time' is apocryphal. Nobody crashes it first time unless they try to. Harrier guys do have to unlearn left-hand habits.
Couple points --
After converting to Mode 4, a motor in the throttle quadrant moves the left inceptor (throttle) to a detent position at roughly the middle of total throttle travel. Movement out of the detent either fwd or aft commands acceleration or deceleration in the y axis. If one pulls the throttle all the way aft to the stop, the jet will decelerate past zero fwd airspeed to its limiting rearward speed (I don't know what that speed is). If one firewalls it, the jet will go to its limiting speed in Mode 4 (250 IIRC). Pilot also has option to command airspeed (in as little as one-knot increments) with a HOTAS activation on the throttle.
Believe what Gums described (hat on the throttle) is called TRC -- translational rate control - which allows more precision and finesse of aircraft movement in proximity to the ship (one uses ones fingers as opposed to ones arm).

FARNBOROUGH: BAE to ramp up work on JSF production
By Craig Hoyle - 13/07/10 - Flight International
http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/20 ... ction.html
"...This year, F-35 lead STOVL pilot Graham Tomlinson grabbed a place in the history books by making the first vertical landing involving the type. Tomlinson describes the flying characteristics of the Harrier and JSF as being like ŌĆ£chalk and cheeseŌĆØ. ŌĆ£The Harrier has been, and remains, a miracle for the era when it was developed, but the aeroplane can bite you,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£JSF is absolutely transformational. All the pilots say itŌĆÖs [F-35B STOVL] ridiculously easy to fly, but it should be.ŌĆØ..."

'jetnerd' asked (amongst other things) "...If the computer fails is there an auto-eject sequence or is the pilot trained to be ready to recognize it and pull, etc ...." This and the other questions covered in part in other threads as I recall although software specifics not specifically I guess. However there is an 'auto eject' function with dial in sensitivity that will auto eject the pilot in hover mode within as I recall 0.6 of a second. I'll just repeat that factoid below soon... [yep I'll get there...]
Test Flying The Joint Strike Fighter
Talk by Graham Tomlinson 9th Feb 2011
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/hawkerassoci ... ghter.html
"...The STOVL mode control system is derived from ŌĆśUnifiedŌĆÖ developed by the ŌĆśRAEŌĆÖ on the VAAC Harrier. The throttle commands acceleration and deceleration (or thrust on the ground and in the STO mode, and in all conventional modes); in the hover the stick moved backwards/forwards commands upwards/downwards vertical velocity (or pitch rate elsewhere); in the hover the stick moved from side to side commands bank angle (or roll rate elsewhere) and if released returns the aircraft to wings level; in the hover the pedals command yaw rate (or sideslip elsewhere).
Future development will clear full envelope autopilot/auto throttle, automatic deceleration to a spot, and TRC (translational rate command) which in the hover allows the pilot to make small positional corrections easily, and will then bring the aircraft to a standstill if the pilot releases the controls. A pilotŌĆÖs helmet mounted display (HMD) is fitted instead of a HUD.
In the Harrier the pilot must obey the rules. The F-35B fly-by-wire system gives angle-of-attack and sideslip control, and departure protection. Further pilot workload reduction is given by performance deficit protection, conversion speed window protection and FOD protection warning; and flight test has a watching brief on the requirement for possible tail strike protection during slow landings (currently not considered necessary). Pilot cognitive errors (of trying to control thrust with the throttle) have been mitigated in the design.
In the unlikely event of the lift fan failing catastrophically the aircraft would pitch inverted in 0.6 seconds, and the pilot is protected by auto-ejection signalled by pitch rate and attitude (derived from the YAK 38 & 141 systems)...."
Despite skepticism from some at the time, here is an old news item (significant '74th landing' factoid].
Just Push ŌĆśAuto-LandŌĆÖ: 08 April 2011
ŌĆö John A. Tirpak
http://www.airforce-magazine.com/DRArch ... -Land.aspx
ŌĆ£A Lockheed Martin F-35B short takeoff & vertical landing test aircraft last week achieved an impressive milestone, according to Warren Boley, Pratt & Whitney military en-gines president. ŌĆ£For the first time,ŌĆØ Boley said in an in-terview, ŌĆ£a pilot pushed a button & the [air]plane landed autonomously.ŌĆØ
Boley joked that the pilot could fold his hands behind his head or ŌĆśread the paperŌĆÖ while the air-plane safely settled down to a vertical landing from hover. The flight was the 74th vertical landing of the F-35 test program, & the fact that the Marine Corps was willing to allow the test indicated high confidence in the airplane & its Pratt-supplied F135 engine, Boley told the Daily Report April 8.ŌĆØ

Looking for factoids here are some (also on other threads but repeated here because apppropriate).
Vertical Validation
by GUY NORRIS | LOS ANGELES
Aviation Week & Space Technology; October 3, 2011; pages 31-32
"...Speaking at the Society of Experimental Test Pilots symposium in Anaheim, Calif., last month, Wilson said results vindicate the simple design concept of the ŌĆ£unifiedŌĆØ Stovl control mode. The mode is activated by the push of a ŌĆ£decelerate- to-hoverŌĆØ button in which the throttle commands acceleration and deceleration in the hover. In this mode, the stick commands upward/ downward vertical velocity with a backward-forward motion, while in the hover mode sideways movement of the stick commands bank angle. If released, it returns the aircraft to wings level. Pedals command yaw rate in the hover.
The fastest descent rate, as controlled by pushing the stick forward, is set at 7 fps., though the testing has included rates as low as 4 fps. and high as 12 fps.
Testing has also focused on the translational rate command (TRC) mode, which in the hover allows the pilot to make small positional corrections and which brings the aircraft to a standstill if the pilot releases the controls. ŌĆ£It is used to capture the current longitudinal groundspeed and is important for precise positioning in shipboard operations,ŌĆØ says Wilson...."
Flight test ŌĆśliteŌĆÖ: QinetiqŌĆÖs VAAC Harrier highlights capabilities of Lockheed MartinŌĆÖs STOVL Joint Strike Fighter
By Craig Hoyle on August 25, 2006
http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/fligh ... -vaac.html
"...HereŌĆÖs the really good news for anyone reading this who might be pondering embarking on a career as a fighter pilot within the next decade or so: it really will be easy to fly a JSF in the STOVL configuration. Forget the current requirement to control the HarrierŌĆÖs attitude with the joystick, its forward speed with the throttle and (and hereŌĆÖs the difficult bit) its nozzle control lever to stop it from falling out of the sky. In the F-35B the left-hand will control the throttle inceptor: push forward and you accelerate forwards, pull back and you decelerate and eventually go backwards ŌĆō and the bigger the input the greater the response. In the hover the right-hand side-stick will be used to control everything else: push left or right and the aircraft will jink to the left or right, push forwards and it will descend, pull back and it will climb. On my two attempts to enter the airfield circuit and land on a pad using visual markers to line the aircraft up I succeeded in getting the VAAC down safely, albeit at a snailŌĆÖs pace, which did wonders for my dented confidence.
If the modified HarrierŌĆÖs performance is anything to go by, the stability offered by the F-35BŌĆÖs liftfan and roll posts will be truly spectacular, with only slight inputs required to manoeuvre it around an airfield or onto the deck of an aircraft carrier or assault ship. And Qinetiq has already successfully demonstrated the VAAC HarrierŌĆÖs ability to automatically return to and land aboard a rolling and pitching aircraft carrier with centimetric accuracy, meaning that the F-35BŌĆÖs safety record should be remarkably better than the STOVL platforms it will replace.
ItŌĆÖs not just in the hover that the F-35B will be different to fly. IŌĆÖve always found it difficult to maintain the determined height during a turn, but during my simulator ride I found that on each turn I was gaining a considerable amount of height, as my automatic reaction ŌĆō to pull back on the stick slightly to maintain my altitude ŌĆō was not necessary in the new generation aircraft. The flight control system knows how much throttle the pilot has requested and will make adjustments during the turn to make his or her life that little bit simpler and free up valuable time for system management tasks...."
Navy Sees Few Anomalies in F-35B Ship Trials
Oct 31, 2011 By Amy Butler | Onboard the USS Wasp
http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/ ... amp;next=0
"...Lt. Col. Matt Kelly, the lead F-35 test pilot at Patuxent River, originally a Hornet pilot, says that his first time conducting a vertical landing on an L-class ship was with the F-35B. ŌĆ£The challenge is not ŌĆśam I going to get my aircraft onboard,ŌĆÖŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£The challenge really becomes ŌĆścan I put my nose tire in a 1 ft. X 1-ft. square box where I want to on the deck.ŌĆÖ That is really a testament to the flight controls and the tools that pilots have.ŌĆØ Kelly acknowledges that the deck motion does impact landing operations, but ŌĆ£the control law you have is so good, you can compensate.ŌĆØ..."
The F-35 Pilot
"...Another USMC test pilot, indeed last yearŌĆÖs test pilot of the year, ŌĆ£SquirtŌĆØ Kelly told us what he had learned since our visit last year: What I have learned for sure since your last visit is how to do a vertical landing. As an F-18 pilot, I donŌĆÖt have any background in hovering or operating in that whole STOVL world. With probably fewer hours than a guy is going to have going through the training command and doing this through the simulator training to the flight, it was easy. For guys graduating out of the training command, it was a process of learning step-by-step, follow the procedures, and hover. You can let go of the controls. It just kind of stays where you put it.
So it is not Harrier like at all
Not at all. In a hover and in a vertical landing, itŌĆÖs a no-brainer. ItŌĆÖs push the stick forward.
ThereŌĆÖs even a descent button in the stick, which you use.
The airplane lands itself. It is very much forgiving to a guy whoŌĆÖs doing it for the first time, and it makes him look good. In a hover and in a vertical landing itŌĆÖs a no-brainer.ŌĆØ

There is a lot of recent material about STO Short Take Offs but only this for starters...
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)
v2.0.6 / 01 may 10 / greg goebel / public domain
[3] F-35 IN DEVELOPMENT [Short Take Off - STO]
"...The pilot flies the aircraft with "hands on throttle and stick (HOTAS)" controls; the PCD is touch-sensitive and functions to an extent as a reprogrammable keyboard, resulting in a spare cockpit control layout.
The "smarts" of the F-35 will be particularly appreciated by pilots flying the F-35B STOVL version. Short takeoffs in the Harrier are a troublesome affair that require the pilot to have "three hands": one for the throttle, one for the stick, and the third for the lever that controls the direction of the Harrier's swiveling exhaust nozzles. An F-35B pilot, in contrast, flies the plane with stick and throttle, with the software handling the fine details of short takeoff: the pilot will simply press a "button" on the PCD to convert from vertical to forward flight or the reverse.
While the Harrier has reaction control thrusters driven by engine bleed to provide low-speed maneuverability, the F-35B simply modulates the four points of its vertical-lift system -- the pivoting exhaust, the two wing exhaust ducts, and the lift fan -- to provide control. This trick would be difficult or impossible to do manually....ŌĆØ

Spaz -
As always you are a wealth of knowledge with references especially with shipborne aviation questions on here. I didn't realize the backup systems were already discussed somewhere on here. Interesting that the Soviet VTOL jets already had roll-rate/moment-triggered auto-ejection. So, it must not have been a big deal to build that safety measure into the F-35B. I can imagine even an alert pilot not being able to pull the handle in time if the worst happened, i.e. sudden, complete failure of a single roll post on one side. Thanks!

'jetnerd' no worries. As you can guess this stuff really interests me and it can all be found + MORE
in the "how to deck land" PDF mentioned recently elsewhere. The above material has been excerpted from this same PDF [dated March 2012] available online at:
There is a discussion about the 'backup/redundant' computer flight controls on this forum while most of the above is scattered or homogenised in other various threads. Search forum for article author names to find stuff easily enough.

Don't think a former AH-1, CH-46, or CH-53 pilot would do well with these controls on the first time.

Pilots undergo training/retraining if changing from aircraft to aircraft/type. I'll imagine any helo pilot will use the F-35 simulation trainer a lot before going flying & before going Vertical Landing in STOVL mode for real..

My comment concerning the Harrier guys crashing on thier first VL attempt was related to the first time they hopped into the sim years ago, without any prior training. They crashed because they reacted like they were in a Harrier, control input wise.
Agreed with spazsinbad on the training/retraining. The sim operator I was talking to mentioned that after a couple tries the Harrier guys had no issues either. Tt was more intuitive to non-Harrier pilots, because they had not been trained in the "Harrier VL arts."

McLane says it's his work with the foundation that should remain as Armstrong's lasting legacy -- not the implosion of his cycling career.
"I would say that Lance's greatest legacy is creating an organization that has helped 2.5 million people when they are facing cancer," she added.
"He's still the foundation's biggest donor. He's donated $7m."
Amid all the opinion and rhetoric bubbling around Armstrong in Austin, there was no sign of the man himself.
His only public appearance since the scandal enveloped him was at a Livestrong gala on October 20 and when Formula 1 made its debut in the city, Armstrong flew to Hawaii to avoid the hubbub.
Suzanne Halliburton, who has followed Armstrong's rise and fall for the Austin Statesman newspaper since 1996, is one of the few still in regular contact with Armstrong.
"The last time I talked to him he seemed to be doing reasonably well," she told CNN. "He has access to a private plane where he can zip off and go hang out in Hawaii at his house there."
Armstrong, who also has a Spanish-style villa close to downtown Austin, has no reason to keep out of the public gaze in his hometown, according to Halliburton.
"When he rides he goes out to Hill Country but his house is in central Austin," she explained.
"He's got five kids, two of whom live with him. He's very active, going to see all their sporting events, sometimes coaching their soccer teams. He sits in line to pick up the kids.

3. | Clubber | ||
Ever had a lot of bud, but nothing to smoke it with? Some people turn to blunts, others to papers. What about those who want both? Those people turn to the clubber. But what is a clubber? It is a blunt-status doobie. Aptly named because it looks like a club, as opposed to a bat, toothpick, etc. Much like a real club, after using it, a large amount of people will be fucked up. Hey dude, we have enough bud to roll a blunt but we ain't got no phillies; we should probably roll a clubber.
1. | clubber | ||
A clubber is one who dances or raves, also known as a raver, parties to techno, electronic, electronica, or the like. However, there are different types of clubs. There are goth clubs, rock clubs, underground clubs, etc. Clubbers usually dress either distinctly (bright colors, strange clothes, much like a raver, or skimpy, short skirts, tight clothing. Again, wardrobe depends on the type of club you attend.
A clubber also visits many clubs, or goes club hopping, hence the phrase clubber. Clubbers are usually not made fun of, and have their own community, and are quiet to other groups of people. They sometimes have spontaneous attitudes, and when made friends with, can be fun to party and hang out with. "Where was John all weekend?"
"He's a clubber, where do you think he's been?" |
2. | clubber | ||
Urban Copenhagen social stigma:
A person wearing extremely tight clothes, combined with being seemingly underweight! Fancying himself/herself as such a cool high-end Pete Doherty type of original character, but in the end just looking like you average heroin addict. Clubbers are commonly found in places like Luux, the infamous Dansebaren and events like I Am and the like. Clubbers celebrate each other and amongst clubbers the word "Clubber" i as positive term. About a place
Q: Are you going to Luux to night? A: Are you kidding me? The place is stuffed with clubbers About a person What a hiddeous little clubber Among Clubbers: "Martin you are one of Copenhagens finest Clubbers" "Clubber for life, baby" |
4. | Clubber | ||
A clubber is patch wearing member of an outlaw motorcycle club, such as The Galloping Gooses, or The Hells Angels. Dude #1: Hey man, why do all those bikers have the same patch on the back of their leathers ?
Dude #2: Those are clubbers man... don't be starin at 'em ! |
5. | clubber | ||
-people who act like theyre better than everyine else knowing that theyre not -not to be mikstaken with raver because all clubbers are all about the drugs and ravers are all about the plur person 1: "man youre a clubber"

Gabrielle Union Speaks On Dwyane Wade's Ex-Wife Siohvaughn...And Why She Kept Quiet About Homewrecker Rumors
Think Like A Man star Gabrielle Union is revealing for the first time her relationship with her boyfriend Dwyane Wade's ex-wife Siohvaughn...and why Gabby herself chose to keep quiet about those homewrecker rumors (but still fought the court battles against Sioh privately).
We've got the first glimpse into Gabby's upcoming JET magazine cover story about Sioh's lawsuits and Gabby's current relationship with her...
In the upcoming April 16th edition of JET Magazine, Ms. Union maintains that she's still every bit the girl next door she used to be. Despite the messy divorce her Miami Heat star boyfriend, Dwyane Wade, just tackled...with Gabby getting dragged into the mix as well. Siohvaughn sued Gabby for being an alleged homewrecker and for allegedly being detrimental to Dwyane & Sioh's 2 sons' well being. Sioh claimed that around the boys, Gabby allegedly used foul language and dressed inappropriately.
Gabby reveals for the first time, in a story title "Crazy Messy Love," that she didn't rebut the homewrecking rumors and lawsuit for the sake of the kids. And that she could related to Siovaughn's crazy antics since Gabby was "that" girl who attacked her own ex-husband's new girlfriend as well.
On why she didn't publicly defend her reputation against rumors she cheated with Dwyane while he was married
"The kids. For the people that hire me, it's a non issue. But at the end of the day, Dwyane's kids are going to be the ones who really suffer. They're 10 and 4 and a half. They're old enough to understand the mean things that strangers can say."
On feeling bullied by her fans who believed she was "the other woman"
"I think people mistook me taking the high road as an admission of guilt. Dwyane and I made a decision very early to not react to the negativity. And I kept feeling like the truth would come out. The problem is, when it did, nobody cared. What I discovered on social media is that people don't read the entire story."
On handling Siohvaughn's lawsuits alleging Gabby as a homewrecker and detrimental to her kids
"I fought it. My life is just too easy to track. So, we were submitting plenty of proof for the times she said I was in Miami. So, it was like, obviously you're not telling the truth. And then the courts dismissed the case."
On her current relationship with Siovaughn
"I've never had one. I wasn't involved then-because I wasn't involved with their marriage--and I don't have one now."
On contemplating breaking up with Dwyane because of the divorce turmoil
I did a lot of talking with girlfriends and sorting through my feelings about the madness. This kind of love is a gift. It's so consistent. There's no way that I would trade it for people who refuse to simply acknowledge the truth.
Pick up the new issue of JET to get the full juicy story--on newsstands soon!

generative modeling for Rhino
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to scale a voronoi 2d shapes depending on their distance to the attractor point. so the closer the shapes are to the attractor, the smaller they should get.
So far, I've been able to scale them but not the way I want...
I thought it was going to be easy but I'm having a hard time, hope someone can help me.
Thank you!
Tags: attractor, point, scale, voronoi
Hi Zaghloul4d
Tnx for definition... I am playing with it last 24 h......just started with GH.....is there any way to do the same effect with attractor curve?? or is there possibility to create uniform panel that I can put beside each other to create line of panels. I tried to import points from my seamless voronoi panel in to your definition but no success...any help or link? Kind Regards
Again, great definition! I have the definition working below but I'm trying to remove the surfaces that are outside of the circular area. I have an "Inside" component setup which checks the center points of the surfaces inside of a closed cylinder. Can't seem to remove the surfaces though so I'm not sure what I'm missing. Attached definition and rhino base file. Any Ideas?
Also, any idea on how to add multiple attractor points?
I was wandering also how can it be done with an attractor curve?
instead of boxes here use voronoi cells. http://formularch.blogspot.com/2012/04/gh-line-attract-repel.html
wow thanks guys for the fast answers, but i think the last script is not working properly or maybe i don't know how to set it right :)
you have to make visible the surface layer in rhino, than set to the Geo. Comp. (at the beginn) to the surface. than it must go.
wow!! it looks great :) thanks a lot it is quite helpful :D

That's what happens when you introduce a target based payment system. It encourages GPs to churn through as many 'consultations' as possible to milk as much money as possible.
Well, I never thought this day would come, but my NHS doctor's service is such a shambles, today I booked a private GP appointment at a BUPA hospital. £103 for 30 minutes, but the appointment is for this time tomorrow.
Compare that to my GP surgery, which has 12 doctors and the following system:
No 'advance' appointments allowed. You can't phone up and ask to see someone next week.
If you want an appointment, you have to call at 8:30am when the surgery opens to get one of the day's appointments. The line is engaged until around 10am.
If you are lucky enough to get a 'today' appointment, you have to drop everything to get there, or be lucky enough to have an understanding boss who will let you have time off at no notice.
More likely, though, you have no chance of getting a 'today' appointment, in which case you are invited to attend of two daily 'emergency' clinics, which run from 10am to noon, and 3pm to 5pm. Basically you turn up, register for the clinic, and wait, usually for a minimum of 90 minutes although I've sat there for more than two hours. They stress on the phone that the clinic appointments are for emergencies only, but of course everyone uses them for routine stuff. The trouble is, the GPs on clinic duty that day have to get through all of the patients, so you get about two minutes with the doctor and they rush you off asap.
I hate it.
It could be worse, I suppose, my sister's GP surgery doesn't give appointments unless they can help it. Instead, you have to tell the receptionist what's wrong with you (!), and she puts you into a triage system of callbacks. If it's important, the doctor will call you back quickly and either diagnose and prescribe over the phone (yes, really), or invite you in for an appointment. If it's less urgent, you can wait all day for a callback or even into the next day. If you happen to be at work when the doc calls, you have to describe your symptoms over the phone. Not fun if you don't work somewhere where there's a completely private area. You can make an appointment for later in the week, unlike my clinic, but only over the phone and only in the morning. If you drop in in person in the afternoon while you're passing, they will not allow you to make an appointment. My sister has witnessed the receptionist telling a woman to go home and phone in for an appointment.
It's mental, mental, mental.
So, I've bailed, because I have a very nasty ear problem and I'm not playing the stupid GP games any longer.
I used Bupa for an operation two years ago because I was covered by hubby's work insurance, but I never thought I'd see the day when I'd willingly pay just to get some time with a doctor :(
That's what happens when you introduce a target based payment system. It encourages GPs to churn through as many 'consultations' as possible to milk as much money as possible.
Defendants might as well have said: Beneficent creatures from the 17th dimension use this bracelet as a beacon to locate people who need pain relief and whisk them off to their home world every night to provide help in ways unknown to our science.
Judge Frank Easterbrook commenting on the Q-Ray bracelet
"For Gods sake you're an American! Stop thinking of the consequences and blow something up" - Stan Smith, American Dad!
It is also a consequence of the target for waiting times to see a GP: they will not give advance appointments because this shows as waiting time and the target is failed. Another example of the stupidity of this system
This isn't a problem with the NHS in general, it depends very much on where you are. When I was at university in Birmingham, I used the local GP because it was closer than the university one. This was pretty much how you describe it, and I really wasn't impressed at all. Apparently the university one was actually very nice. The GP I am with now is pretty much perfect. I can book months in advance or as late as the same day, depending on how busy it is. The staff are all great and they have a good out of hours service as well.
The problem isn't the NHS itself, it's all this primary care trust nonsense that means the service in different places is completely different. Get in a good area and the service is better than it has ever been. Get in a bad place and it might as well not exist at all.
Better sorry than safe.
I'm private...
GP services are ok here (as are dental surprisingly). However it is the usual difficulty and waiting if you need further treatment, and that's the main reason I stay private.
I used to get private insurance free with my work, and when I urgently needed an MRI I was able to call on it, otherwise I would have had to wait 6 weeks. When you are being tested for something unknown wrong with your brain, and when you have been tested for things like MS, meningitis or brain damage, waiting weeks is awful.
A couple of years later I needed another MRI, I phoned the hospital and got an appointment the same day.
Two tier health system? Sure, but it's past the point where principles matter I feel. I don't particularly like going to see a private consultant who maybe works part time in the NHS, and it's hard not feel a bit uneasy when you see the size of the bills being sent to the insurance companies.
Mousse from a bowl is very nice, but to put it on a person is demented!
My local Doctors surgery is great - I can get an appointment within a day, or turn up anytime and be seen by a nurse.
My local dentist also has a short waiting list for appointments.
Not bad for London.

My doctor's surgery is fine as well - for urgent appointments phone at 8:30 for a morning appointment or 1:30 for an afternoon appointment - never had any trouble getting one. "Non-urgent" appointments can take a week or so, but then I suppose they're non-urgent...
NHS dentistry in London is a bit more of a problem.

I keep getting this terrible feeling of deja woo.

I'd second the point, it really does depend where you are in the country.
I've never had a problem getting nhs treatment at a dentist. Obviously where there are problems, it is terrible, but if you believed the media, there isn't a spare place with a nhs dentist in the whole country...
Mousse from a bowl is very nice, but to put it on a person is demented!
I might just move house, it'll be cheaper
Well, I went.
Not entirely convinced it was worth it, because she didn't really listen to what I told her. I started by telling her about the ear pain, and at the end I said "so what should I take for the pain, just Nurofen?" and she said "you have pain?".
However, she did tell me why I feel so tired and fluey (post-viral fatigue), and she has referred me for blood tests and some horrid ear-tube thing.
The dilemma now is, if my hubby's insurance doesn't cover the tests, do I pay for them, or get her to write to my NHS GP to ask if they wouldn't mind, pretty please, referring me. She said they aren't obliged to, in which case I'd have to pay my NHS GP a visit in the first place, and we're back to square one.
I'm glad I went, but I wouldn't do it again, not for a routine GP appt.
I am one of the lucky ones who doesn't have problems (I live in London).
I do hope the NHS is not allowed to wither away, as it (at any rate the concept) has long been one of the decreasing number of things which make me proud of this country.

The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
The Heavenly Declaration
The universe that inspired the psalmist three thousand years ago grows grander as each new generation of astronomers adds yet another layer of understanding.
Series: Scripture and the Authority of God
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 1
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
Jefferson's Bible and the Tears of Christ
Predictably, "Jesus Wept" did not make into the Jefferson Bible. John 11 was cut out entirely, falling onto the floor of his Monticello home and discarded, along with Martha's confession.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Oscillators for Singers
Dr. Heather Whitney's double major in physics and performing and visual arts suggests that she lives—as well as understands—the connections between subjective and objective ways of engaging the creation. She is committed to communicating that experience with her students, too.
A Lively God
In today's video, Rev. Lincoln Harvey discusses our desire to "domesticate" the liveliness and abundance of God. Harvey notes that the Trinity highlights both the manyness and oneness of God, which can be hard to Christians to fully understand.
Science or sola Scriptura?
So, for Driscoll, the choice is a simple dichotomy: Scripture or science. Scripture is the highest court of authority in all matters, and the role of believing scientists is to affirm Scripture. To fail to do so is to "exchange the truths of Scripture for the truths of science".
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Series: New Limbs from Old Fins
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.
Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
The Truthfulness of Scripture: Inerrancy, Part 1
Against the repeated claim that the doctrine of inerrancy arose first with Protestant orthodoxy, we could cite numerous examples from the ancient and medieval church. It was Augustine who first coined the term "inerrant," and Luther and Calvin can speak of Scripture as free from error.
