Frequently asked questions
Is the flight autonomous?
The SB4 flights are totally autonomous. You can start by defining your flight plan thanks to Belvedere, our Ground Control Software. Once your flight plan is ready and the waypoints are correctly defined, you can upload them to the UAV. After the take-off, the mission will start and the SB4 will fly by itself.
It is also possible to fly in assisted mode. The assisted mode is a mode where you can use the remote control to have a safe manual control over the UAV. The UAV attitude will automatically be stabilized to limit piloting errors.
Do you have evidence of your flight endurance?
Sure ! Have a look at this YouTube video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95fG79l821Y
This is the log file of a 6h flight made in September 2016 in France. We have made this flight in full autonomous mode. The UAV kept its battery level full during all the flight as the available solar power was twice the power consumption of the drone.
How can I follow the drone when it is BLOS?
When you fly Beyond Line Of Sight, our high-gain long-range antenna enables you to maintain the data communication with the UAV. During the flight, simply use Belvedere to monitor all the parameters (battery level, solar power, position) and change the flight plan is necessary.
Is there a battery in the drone?
Yes, the SB4 has a 2250mAh LiPo battery. The battery is used to store the required energy to maintain the flight in cloudy conditions. During the take-off, the energy required is also too important to rely only on the solar cells. This is why the battery is used during this phase.
How does it take-off?
Easy, you just have to launch it with your hand ! The take-off can be made in assisted or automatic mode. In assisted mode, you have to put the full throttle and ask a second person to hand-launch the SB4. In autonomous mode, just define a take-off waypoint, switch to auto mode on the remote control and launch the UAV !
What is the area required for landing? How does it land?
We consider that for a safe landing, you need a landing strip of 100m of length and 50m of width. There are two ways to land the SB4. You can choose to make automatic landings. To do so, simply define your landing strip using waypoints. The UAV will manoeuver to reach the ground by itself. If you want to perform a more accurate landing in more complex areas, you can switch to assisted mode and make the final approach by yourself.
What happens when there is no more sun ?
When there is no more sun, the available solar power will decease and the battery will progressively take over the solar cells. The battery level will slowly go down indicating that the endurance is now limited. We estimate that the endurance of the UAV is 1h from the moment that solar power is not available anymore.
How much time can it fly when its cloudy?
The endurance when the weather is cloudy really depends on the clouds cover, but we estimate that it can vary from 3h to 5h on average.
What about support? Any spares available? Local maintenance?
We have partners in many countries to assist you and give you support in your operations. They can also provide you with all the spare parts you need and perform local maintenance tasks.
What is the radio link range?
The standard radio link range is 15km. However, this range can vary depending on the type of landscape you overfly. For specific applications, the ground station antenna can be changed for extended radio range.
How many people are required to fly the SB4?
Ideally, we would recommend 2 people to fly the UAV safely. One person to monitor the mission on the laptop, and one other person responsible for taking over the drone's control in assisted mode.
What kind of sensors do you offer? Can I use my own camera?
Depending on your needs, we can offer different types of sensors :
- RGB camera : For high definition mapping and photogrammetry applications.
- Multispectral camera : For vegetation monitoring.
- Thermal camera : For surveillance applications.
Have a look at our range of sensors here.
After buying a SB4 you are free to make any changes. However in that case the warranty would become invalid.
Is the SB4 designed for rough areas?
The SB4 UAV has a fuselage made of fiberglass. The wings and tails are made of carbon fiber. Sunbirds has chosen those material to obtain a wise merge of stiffness and lightness, allowing the best endurance for solar flights. During the design phase we made sure to maximize the robustness of the structure, even in the event of a crash.
Sunbirds has implemented crash-proof systems. For example, the nylon screws fixing the wings to the fuselage are designed to break first, acting as fuses to prevent any breakage of the fuselage or the wings.
If you need to land on rough areas (rocks for example), we recommend the use of protection parts that we provide and that you can fix under the fuselage.
Can I see pictures taken by the drone?
Yes of course ! Don't hesitate to contact us to ask us what kind of data would interest you.
What is the max altitude?
Ideally, we recommend to fly under 1500m AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level). Most of our flight tests took place under this altitude. It's possible to fly higher, however, the power consumption will be higher. This is likely to reduce the endurance.
Does the drone fly in the rain / high humidity conditions ?
Our solar wing reached the certification according to IEC 61215 which is an international standard laying down IEC requirements for the design qualification and type approval of terrestrial photo-voltaic modules suitable for long-term operations in general open-air climates. Our solar modules have successfully passed thermal cycling and damp heat tests at 85°C and 85% of humidity during more than 1000 hours.
How are data transferred from the drone?
The way to collect data depends on the type of camera you use :
- For RGB camera : The pictures are stored in the UAV, you can get them after the landing on a SD card
- For Multispectral camera : The pictures are stored in the UAV, you can get them after the landing on a SD card
- For Thermal camera : We provide a dedicated screen on the ground to have a live video stream
Is the drone adapted to dust? To rocks?
Yes. If you need to land on dusts or rocks, we can provide you dedicated spare parts that you can fix under the fuselage to protect the UAV during the landing.
What is the maximum payload weight?
The maximum payload weight is fixed at 300g. We have already selected the best range of sensors adapted to your needs. The integration and control are also integrally managed by Sunbirds. This is the reason why we recommend to use the sensor we have selected instead of choosing a new one. If you have specific needs, don't hesitate to contact us.
How slow/fast can it fly?
The minimum speed of the SB4 is 25km/h, the maximum speed is 70km/h. It's possible to update the flight speed in one click from the ground station.
Do you have a Gimbal?
No, the gimbal devices are currently too heavy for the SB4. However, we plan to integrate gimbals in our futur solar-powered UAVs.
What is the data storage capability of the SB4?
The data storage capability depends more on the camera than the SB4 itself. Our RGB camera allows to store up to 64GB of images. This corresponds to more than 10 hours of mapping. The camera is automatically powered by the drone without limit of battery.
What are the wind and temperature limitations?
We advise to postpone the mission when wind gusts are higher than 40km/h. Usually, the best performances will be reached with a wind of less than 20km/h. The SB4 is designed for high temperatures and has been tested in extreme conditions.
How do we manage strong winds?
When strong winds appear, we recommend to set a higher flight speed in Belvedere, the ground control station software. If the UAV manages to maintain a correct trajectory, it's possible to continue the mission. If the plane experiments difficulties to fly according to the specified flight plan, we recommend a return-to-launch.
How do you manage geotagging?
Every time an image is triggered, the autopilot records its GPS position, the triggering date and the image's orientation (roll, pitch, yaw angles). After landing, all those data can be used in a photogrammetric software (ex : pix4D) to create georeferenced orthophotos and 3D point-clouds.
What are the training requirements?
The training requirements depend on your initial skills. Most of the time, we plan a one-week training course. During this session, we have theoretical and practical modules. During the theoretical module, you get an overview of the SB4 system:
- System assembly and disassembly
- Flight planning
- Safety procedures
- Mission management
The practical modules are composed of flight sessions:
- UAV flight simulation
- UAV flight with a trainer system
- UAV flight with a complete SB4 system
What is the durability of the drone?
The SB4 life cycle depends on the environment and the level of risk that you will take during the mission. We provide spare parts (wings, tails, and electronics) to ensure the longevity of the product. The average duration of one UAV is estimated at 3 years.
Does it work with GPS RTK to generate pictures with better accuracy?
We currently don't integrate the RTK technology. However, we plan to provide the RTK/PPK features in the next version of our product.
What is the cost of maintenance?
The only costs of maintenance are due to parts replacements. Those costs can vary, depending on the level of risk you will take during your missions. To get a customized estimation of your maintenance costs please contact us.
Can I have FPV?
Yes, we can integrate a FPV camera on demand. This camera can serve as a front view monitoring for safety or as a vertical view monitoring for surveillance applications.
Can it fly at night?
Yes, it's possible to fly at night. However, as the sun-power is not available, the endurance will be much lower as the UAV will only use its LiPo battery.
Are you providing services? Operating the drone?
We are a UAV manufacturer, our main activity is to provide solar-powered UAV systems for large territories mapping. The services we offer are the following:
- Technical support
- Spare parts
- Training
We don't offer direct services such as drone operation. However, if you have specific needs, don't hesitate to contact us. We will be pleased to help you!
Is VTOL available ?
VTOL (Vertical Take-Off & Landing) can be used to optimize the space required to launch and land your UAV. However, this technology requires a high amount of energy. Integrating VTOL on a solar-powered plane would have a significant effect on its autonomy. This is the reason why we have chosen not to implement it on our UAV.
Do you provide a data processing software?
Yes. Depending on your needs, we can provide different types of post-processing software :
- Photogrammetry software : Used to generate 2D orthophotos, 3D point clouds or NDVI maps.
- Custom post-processing software : For high-potential applications, we can decide to develop custom solutions focused on your needs. If you have a specific need to post-process UAV data, don't hesitate to contact us !
Are you looking for a distributor?
We are actively looking for companies which are key-players in their industries and want to jump in the UAV market to create more value in their fields. If you're interested in becoming one of our distributor, please contact us.

"Mrs. Gould Welcomes Coco Chanel" Marks Springtime Return of the Mrs. Gould Series
Lakewood, N.J., March 14, 2017—Immerse yourself in the Gilded Age and attend one of Edith Kingdon Gould's elegant tea parties as the popular springtime production of the "Mrs. Gould Welcomes" series makes its much-anticipated return to Georgian Court University this April through June. Produced by St. George Living History Productions, the interactive theater event once again features Tamara Koveloski reprising her role as Mrs. Gould for her spectacular 11th season. In this production, Mrs. Gould welcomes iconic designer and entrepreneur Coco Chanel, played by international performing artist Lisa Monde, to tea at the Georgian Court Mansion.
Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel (1883–1971) was a French fashion designer and businesswoman. While her name is known worldwide, few people know her story. Born in Saumur, France, she was raised in an orphanage and taught to sew. She had a brief career as a singer before opening her first clothing shop in 1910. In the 1920s, she launched her first perfume and eventually introduced the Chanel suit and the little black dress, with an emphasis on making comfortable, stylish clothes for women. She was the founder and namesake of the Chanel brand and promises to be a delightful guest in the Gould home.
"In real life, Coco never revealed very much about herself. As a matter of fact, she went out of her way to fabricate elaborate fictitious tales about her childhood and early life," says Sal St. George, founder of St. George Living History Productions. "Her story is a constant search for truth over fiction. What is the truth and what is a lie? Our audiences will have to decide for themselves."
The production will take place at 11:30 a.m. on April 4, 5, 8, 11, 19, 20, 22 and 26 as well as May 2, 6, 10, 13, 18, and 20 and June 3, 6, 7 and 10 (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays) at the Mansion on GCU's historic Lakewood campus. The cost is $45 per person and includes the performance and tea luncheon. Pre-purchase of tickets is required for all performances. For groups of 20 or more, please call for discount pricing. For more information, contact the GCU Office of Conferences and Special Events at 732.987.2263 or email@example.com.
Founded in 1908 and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, Georgian Court University is Central and South Jersey's only Catholic university. GCU is a comprehensive, coeducational university with a strong liberal arts core and a historic special concern for women. As a forward-thinking university that supports diversity and academic excellence, Georgian Court expands possibility for more than 2,300 students of all faiths and backgrounds in 33 undergraduate majors and more than 10 graduate programs.

With gay marriage set to begin in California on Monday, The Times is answering readers' questions on the subject. You can submit questions at firstname.lastname@example.com. Check out full coverage of the debate about the gay marriage issue at latimes.com/gaymarriage. Here is a sampling:
When will same-sex couples be allowed to marry?
The earliest time gay couples will be allowed to marry is at 5:01 p.m. Monday, June 16. Alameda, Sonoma and Yolo counties will begin issuing marriage licenses to the public Monday night; most counties will start Tuesday morning. San Francisco and Los Angeles counties will issue one marriage license each Monday night to a designated couple to commemorate the ruling.
Who will be the first same-sex couple to marry in L.A. County?
Robin Tyler and Diane Olson, who on Valentine's Day 2004 were denied a marriage license at the Beverly Hills Courthouse and challenged that rejection all the way to the California Supreme Court. Their license, to be issued in Beverly Hills, was given an exception "in recognition of their unique role in the court's decision," said acting Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean C. Logan.
Could any further legal action delay the start of same-sex marriages in California?
Opponents of same-sex marriage asked the California Court of Appeal on Thursday to put the ruling on hold. Supporters of gay marriage rights quickly belittled the action as frivolous and certain to fail. The lower 1st District Court of Appeal, which had ruled 2 to 1 against same-sex marriage, is bound by the Supreme Court's decision. San Francisco City Atty. Dennis Herrera, whose office helped litigate the marriage case, called the petition "beyond frivolous . . . absurd." But Liberty Counsel, the group that filed the petition, said the Court of Appeal procedurally regains the case June 16 and could issue a stay. "This court should stay the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples to prevent a violation of federal and state law by opening the door to de facto polygamy and polyamory," the petition by the Christian-affiliated group said.

The VCA Secondary School produces educated dancers whose training sets them up well for future careers and a range of options
The Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School is one of the world's foremost dance schools, our alumni are significant players in the artistic life of this country and overseas. The VCA Secondary School offers a comprehensive and intensive specialist dance course based upon the rigorous training of classical ballet.
It is difficult to briefly outline the philosophy underpinning the training in a diverse and eclectic program such as ours. But there certainly is a definitive and all encompassing philosophy that guides and drives the teaching in our dance program; a prism through which the varied backgrounds of the dance staff can be focussed. It is best expressed through the title above: 'working truthfully'. It is about working to individual physiological limitations and strengths rather than working to achieve a traditional model of perfection - particularly important when dealing with issues like outward rotation of the leg in the hip socket. Models of perfection (the notion that all dancers can be trained, exactly alike, to achieve the same outcome) lead to poor training methodology, incorrect alignment, injury and frustration and it is inevitable that success is achieved by few and failure by many. Working truthfully for individual differences, without unnecessary tension, with ease and efficiency, allows for maximum range of movement and the endeavour to achieve success for each individual dancer.
It is a challenging philosophy for our dance staff requiring focus on each individual rather than the group. We train this way because it works, it produces the best results. Each dancer can achieve their optimum without muscle bulk or imbalance; with ease and individuality. Our focus is long, lean and effective muscle tone. In our school there are as many 5th positions as there are dancers; traditional training offers one 5th position that all students try to achieve. (NB: Any position could be nominated, 5th is identified only because it is the starting position for most sequences)
It is a feature of our training program that technique classes will sometimes have more than one teacher, or that individual dancers will be coached during class time. Every student is important to us and we work as a team to achieve the best for them. To this end we also have a generic training facility; we offer a comprehensive body conditioning program and the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School offers GYROTONICS* as an addition to the training program.
We praise our students for their hard work and application; not for their talent or ability. We believe that it is through many hours of deliberate practice that our students will achieve their maximum potential. Our role as trainers/teachers is to foster this application.
Our mentor Professor Donna Krasnow (York University; Toronto) has visited our school over a number of years; her research on body mechanics and training with imagery has helped us to implement this philosophy in our training programs. Professor Krasnow is one of the leaders in the dance education/training industry worldwide.
Aside from the excellence of the training this philosophy allows us to look after the individual, we do not force the development of art at the expense of emotional, psychological or physiological well being; we believe that for the dancer to prosper the whole person must prosper. Hence our belief that young people need a full and comprehensive education; this is not just 'in case' they don't make it as an artist, but because it will enhance their art now. Our philosophy drives the journey of the dancers towards their development as creative artists, emphasising individuality and creative achievement. To this end we allow the students each year to create their own work and to stage that work in a fully supported creative season.
Our dancers specialise in three main areas of theatre dance: classical ballet, contemporary dance and jazz dance. We believe that the rigorous training of classical ballet, to the highest degree of facility, underpins the physicality and technique required for all of these genres and for the other styles of dance that we teach. In other words: to achieve highly in contemporary or jazz dance - lift the level of ballet training, this will assist flexibility, line, strength, stamina, lower leg articulation etc. An arabesque is an arabesque in whichever style it appears and whatever it is called – the issue is more whether it is a good arabesque....We train good arabesques! We train artists - truthfully.

It's getting cold out there! With winter in full swing, now is an especially important time to protect and nourish your skin. Apriori Beauty's products are formulated to help keep skin hydrated, supple, and glowing, even in the harshest conditions. Read "Weathering Winter Skin," and learn how Apriori Beauty can help keep your skin healthy all winter long!
"The products I am LOVING most these days are the Hydro-Burst Moisture Intense Cleanse and Lotion. This is the first winter I can remember that I don't have dry, itchy, scaly skin! I live in New York, so that is saying a lot!"
GREAT QUESTION! With temperatures dropping, we have been receiving lots of questions about products being shipped out in the cold. Apriori Beauty's products were all formulated to withstand a wide range of temperatures without affecting the benefits provided to your skin. You will see some changes in the texture and thickness of products that are left in the cold; these products will return to normal condition when brought back up to room temperature. Follow these helpful hints to ensure optimal performance from all of your Apriori Beauty products!
- Don't leave products in your car for long periods of time.
- Don't have product deliveries left on your doorstep in extreme cold.
- If your products arrive cold, be sure to bring them up to room temperature before use*.
* Please Note: Because of the unique properties of the Crème Cleanse and Hydro-Burst Moisture intense Cleanse, it is particularly important that these products are brought to room temperature before use. Because the cleansing products are most often stored in warm areas such as the bathroom and shower, they were specifically formulated to be the perfect consistency when they are at room temperature or above. These products will tend to "firm up" in colder temperatures, making them thicker and more difficult to squeeze out of the tubes. To ensure that you are maximizing the benefits of these products, bring them to room temperature or above before use. If you have any difficulty dispensing the product, we recommend gently massaging the tube when you first begin use. This will help soften the cleansers enough to flow easily during future uses!
Cheers to a beautiful winter!
Thanks for stopping by! XO Candy

Why and how to use Amazon S3 for your sermon audio
Amazon should be your go to for storing media and sermon audio. Here is why and how you can set it up.
Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as Amazon S3 is an online storage service. It is cheap and easy to use. And since it's a service provided by e-commerce giant Amazon, you can be rest-assured whatever you stored at S3 is secured.
There are several reasons why you should be using it for your sermon audio:
- Amazon s3 is an extremely cost effective way to host your audio files online. There are no initial charges, no setup costs, and you only pay for what you use.
- Your files will be be backed up with unparalleled security.
- It will be much easier to switch your website to a new platform or new design if all your sermon audio is on S3.
Here is a step by step guide for getting started.
First go to the Amazon s3 landing page. This will give you an overview of the service and give you the opportunity to sign up or sign in.
Next, Sign in or create an account.
After you sign in, click on the s3 service link.
The first step will be to create a bucket. Think of this bucket as a folder.
Give your bucket a name and choose the location. Then click create.
Click on your new bucket and then create a folder. After your folder is created, right click on the folder and select "Make Public." This is very important because if you don't make it public, then people won't be able to listen or download.
Once your folder is created, you can begin uploading audio. After you upload the audio, you can then copy the link so that you can paste it into your content management system.
The last step is copying the link into WordPress. If you are using the Blubrry WordPress Plugin, you will paste the link in here.
My personal favorite is ExpanDrive. This program allows you to mount your Amazon S3 account to your computer and use it like you would any other external hard drive.
I hope this helps. Happy uploading!
[…] to the WordPress media library, but it is best to host your audio files on Amazon s3. Check out Why and how to use Amazon S3 for your sermon audio for more info on file […]

Welcome. If you haven't guessed already, my name is Dave Bennett. I spend most of my free time creating content for my YouTube channel and this website . I started my YouTube channel at age 14 and my goal was to teach people what they can do with their Android smartphones. At the time, Android was still very new and besides the Motorola droid, no one understood the potential of Android smartphones. It was a rough beginning in the YouTube world (and arguably still is), but overtime I gained a substantial amount of subscribers and viewers. Honestly, at the end of the day it's my audience who really inspire me. They are the ones watching my content and giving me feedback. Without them, there would be no point in doing YouTube.
Besides doing YouTube, I'm also a Computer Science undergraduate with a special interest in communications. I have developed a couple of Android apps and I also like to make short films. Above all, I'm just a passionate person with a lot of ambition.
If you ever have any questions or comments feel free to contact me. I might not reply immediately (or within a week) but I usually at least glance over each email.

There's good news for Jordana Brewster this morning! The former child star is all grown up and starring on Dallas these days, and, oh, by the way, did you know she just welcomed a baby? Well, she and husband Andrew Form, that is. The couple are celebrating the birth of their first child, a son.
Didn't know she was pregnant? That's because Jordana wasn't. The couple opted to go the surrogate route and ended up with a little boy.
And now for the question of the hour ... what did they name the little guy?
Jordana and her hubs named their little boy Julian Brewster-Form!
It's a mouthful, isn't it? The hyphenated last names always are. But I have to admit I'm a big fan ... of the first name especially.
It's normal but not too common, and it's sort of regal. I could see a King Julian (or have I just been watching Madagascar too many times with my kid?). According to the Baby Name Finder, the name has both French and Spanish roots, and it means "youth" or "youthful." Kind of ironic for a child star, no?
AND it's tied to Julius, as in the former Roman emperor. Huzzah! Future world leader in the making!
OK, maybe not. I'm sure his parents would just settle for happy and healthy.
I do wonder if Jordana didn't push for a normal baby name to make up for her slightly unusual (although not weird!) moniker. It's certainly easier on kids to not have to constantly re-spell and re-pronounce their names!
Congratulations to the happy family!
What do you think of Jordana's baby name? Can you believe she's a mom?

Originally this Oraculum had been discovered in one of the Royal tombs of Egypt during a French military expedition of 1801. The emperor ordered the manuscript to be translated by a famous German scholar and antiquarian. From that time onwards the Oraculum remained one of Napoleon's most treasures possessions. He consulted it on many occasions and it is said to have "formed a stimulus to his most speculative and most successful enterprises."

Thanks so much for all your kind comments on my last post! Seems there was something for everybody!
Welcome to my latest new followers, it's lovely to see you here!
Some of you have started following me on instagram which is fun!!!
Growing Flowers
No, not actual flowers, but those of a crochet nature! You may recall my recent post here. Well, on Sunday I finally had the chance to continue on this project. So far I had crocheted 21 tiny flowers, I continued until I had got a total of 40, plus a made a larger flower, too. The tiny flowers were meant to be Forget Me Nots (which I love), and often they came in slightly different shades, not just blue! I used Lang Mille Colori Baby and a tiny 1.5mm hook!
I love making Crochet Jewellery, I have made lots of it in the past before I started this blog!
I used 2 bronze coloured chains and matching findings. I connected each flower with the next with little jump rings, then added a lobster clasp closure.
The beauty of this necklace (apart from the tiny flowers) is how versatile it is, because it can be worn in different ways!
|My Tiny Flower Necklace
|The Pendant Flower which can be attched in different places
|Detail of the lobster clasp closure
|Version 1: double layered necklace with pendant flower
|Version 2: Flower Necklace and Chain necklace together form one long necklace
|Versions 3+4: Two seperate necklaces
|The lovely colour run between the flowers
|Pendant Flower is 3cm, the tiny flowers are 1.5cm
You could also clip the Pendant Flower at the back of the neck, this looks nice and eyecatching, especially if you wear your hair short!
I really love how this necklace has turned out, it is so delicate and pretty!
Some unexpected gifts
Both yesterday and today I had some wonderful surprises in the post!
|A lovely craft book and a colourful planner
A good friend sent me a very colourful planner!!!
|A wonderful Photo Calendar
|A Knitting Compendium (in Dutch)
A(nother) knitted hat
Yes, I am knitting yet another hat, this one is a commission for a friend who recently asked me to make her one practically identical to mine in Red. (I recently blogged about it here). It will soon be finished!
|A knitted hat in Red
New Springflower Squares
Well, I really should have finished the hat this morning, but fate intervened and I saw this free pattern online on the blog Made with loops!
So, what did I do? Yes, you guessed it, I started playing with yarn! I brought out my Scheepjeswol Stonewashed yarn and select 2 different colourschemes (total 6 colours).
Here you can see the results! I made 4 granny squares which measure about 9.5cm each. This is such a pleasant and fun pattern and not difficult (especially if you tried making traditional granny squares before). The flowers make it cheerful and funky! ;) Give it a go!!!
|Trying out a new pattern!
|My first Springflower Square (Pattern by Heike Gittins)
|I quite like the flowers at the front with just 3 rows!
|20.01.15 Ta-dah!! The 4 Springflower Squares I made today!
As always, thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it! I really love getting your comments and reading them, so please leave me a little note or two...

Blue Bird Quilt Challenge!!
Thank you again, Em, for this fun challenge!

I love the very thin battings ... helps with stitch sizes and it gives what I think is a more old-timey look to the quilt, which I like. And which I think is so appropriate for your flour sack quilt. ;-) Which is, by the way, GORGEOUS!!!! Well done!

I have an elderly friend, a woman who lost her son, and her daughter, and her granddaughter...dear, dear people all of them in my life, who adores bluebirds. I look at this quilt and I think I see why. You caught his/her? essence. Little radiant beings that they are! For some reason, they have not visited our abundant feeders. Maybe this year!

If you sprayed your quilt with a water bottle to get out the blue, try a soak. I find that a true immersion soak is the only way to get out all the blue... but it always works for me. Good luck.It's really lovely
- April 4, 2014 at 9:42 AM
- Janet O. said...
Stunning, Julie!! The whole quilt glows! You did an amazing job!
Before I started using the blue pens I had read that you should be prepared to soak the quilt, not just spray it, to get out all the blue. I find it works pretty well to just spray it until it is soaked! : ) If some faint blue remains after drying I just give it a good spraying again in those areas. It does all come out.

Or... have you ever tried using a hera? Its a plastic tool that puts a dent in the fabric, rather than a superficial mark such as pencil or your blue marker. It works best on solids.

Q. Hunter, you got off to that tough start off the first two holes, what's going through your mind at that point?
HUNTER MAHAN: Well, we have a lot of work left and we knew we could play better than that so we've just got to keep going and win one hole and then try to win two and then three.
Q. It's been a long wait since 1999 and you came back in high style and you got your first point; how do you feel?
JUSTIN LEONARD: Feels great. I told Hunter, I lost the first two holes for us on purpose. But we had a lot of fun out there today and we're look forward to this afternoon.
Q. You got off to a shaky start to say the least.
JUSTIN LEONARD: Yeah, we are just kind of feeling our way around. Made a bad swing on 2 but came back and made a good swing on 3.
We lost the first couple of holes, and if anything, that just took a little pressure off and the rest of the day we played very solid.
Q. Where was the point when you thought it might turn around in your favour?
HUNTER MAHAN: Well, it was just a bunch of streaks. We were just trying to get ahead and we did, but we played really well on the back nine here. We missed two short putts there but we played great today and extremely excited about how we finished.
Q. You're a pick and you played the first morning and you won a point; does that feel pretty good?
HUNTER MAHAN: Best day of my life, man.
JUSTIN LEONARD: I think we are going to go out together this afternoon so we are excited about that.
Q. What's it like getting that first point for the American side?
HUNTER MAHAN: It's great. This is an incredible event. Proud to be here and excited to be here and you want to get a good point, and to do it, is just an incredible feeling really.
Q. You guys didn't halve a hole until No. 8. It was just back and forth like a boxing match.
JUSTIN LEONARD: It was back and forth and to lose the first two and to come back and win three in a row, I think losing the first two relaxed me some, and we started hitting some good shots and good putts and could have made a couple more birdies from the back nine but played very solid. Just get the ball in the fairway and get it on the green.
Q. What's the plan for this afternoon? Is this a good team we're going to see in the after moon?
HUNTER MAHAN: I think so, we're going to get a little bit of rest and come back out this afternoon.

.....Yes, another one. Apparently little or nothing going past Haywards Heath at the moment due to a signal issue. Up to 20 trains stuck north of there apparently with those not yet at Three Bridges terminating there.

Just glad I have made it as far as Hassocks then. Might have to be a WFH tomorrow as I do not fancy being stuck in similar when the England game is on. And the trains are bound to be still knackered (as always).02-07-2018, 18:50 #4
A couple of Friday's ago on a rare rail trip to London:
1. Journey from Brighton by Thameslink - train cancelled with little notice. Followed by a long wait for the next. A regular commuter said "this is common".
2. Return that afternoon, long before the rush hour, we caught the fast/express from Victoria to Brighton. Allegedly 50 minutes - it kept stopping for 10 to 15 minutes in obscure places - north Croydon, north of Redhill, north of Gatwick. Not a word on the tannoy. The 50 minutes almost doubled.
What a pathetic rail network we have in south east England.02-07-2018, 18:57 #5

And everyone hated British Rail with a passion, even though it only had to deal with half the passenger numbers.
This goes beyond party politics.
Britain has an early Victorian rail network, boxed in by urban sprawl, with horrendous bottlenecks such as Clapham Junction.
The Germans had a clean sheet in 1945 to start again. The French simply buy up and bulldoze anything in the way of TGV routes and won't be slowed by beautiful ecology.

We had 6,000 students drop out of our schools in 2008 and I have no doubt that '09 will be just as high.
The state wonders what to do about our high dropout rate when all they need is to look at their local school boards. Our local boards punish good students and force them to drop out. As a parent of three, I had to fight tooth and nail to get my oldest to school, but I did it. Now, I have one left, my youngest, who really likes school but has a heart condition.

Guaranteed Good Date Ideas
1. Go to a Comedy Club or a Rock Concert
Good times can always be had at the local comedy club if you are looking for date ideas. Even if the acts are rubbish you can still both share in the amusement derived from their poor stage act! If, in fact, you see a hilarious comedian, it will end up being something you are both quoting for years to come! If it is a first date then this is the perfect test to see if you have a similar sense of humour. If you were both being quite shy and quiet going into the show, you certainly won't be coming out of it. Going to a rock concert is one of those really good date ideas, because if you both share a taste in music you can dance the night away, get squashed up against each other and get sweaty together! This has to be one of the top good date ideas for teenagers!
2. Visit a Theme park
Good date ideas always involve a shared experience you can both enjoy, which is why this is in my list. This is one of those especially good date ideas for guys because the girl can hold you close when you both go on the big rides! This is your chance to show her how much of a man you really are! The adrenaline rush from the rides will have you buzzing and sharing the feeling of elation as you stumble off of the rides, dizzy together.
3. Visit Museums or Art Galleries
For the more sophisticated romantic there are loads of free entry museums and art galleries to check out. If one of your good date ideas is investigating the extinction of the dinosaurs, or musing over some cubist sculptures then this is one of those creative date ideas that might just suit you perfectly. If both parties are after some intellectual discussion you won't be left disappointed, there will be plenty to chat about and really get to know each other, what a fun date!
4. Good (but competitive) Date Ideas
Now if you are after Valentines Day ideas, then this one might not be for you, but if it's a fun first date you are seeking then this could be the one. Good date ideas can stem from enjoyable times in your youth, such as going down to the penny arcade to play a couple of competitive rounds of air hockey. This could really get the heart beating! A nice bit of competition is a great date idea, as it always brings out the real fighting spirit in anyone. Another good example of a good date idea based around completion is miniature or 'crazy' golf...lowest score wins! One of you at least will have had a great date; the other one is left on the receiving end of some fully earned bragging rights. This is one of my favourite good date ideas!

The Near Death Experience Research Foundation has many accounts of near-death experiences in their archives. An e-mail correspondent recommended Jacqueline's Father's NDE. I thought it was particularly interesting because it describes a shared death experience where a living person witnessed angels coming to take away the soul of a person who died. It also demonstrates how valuable psychic perceptions can be in helping those suffering from grief.
Jacqueline's father had been hospitalized with cancer. While he was in the hospital, he saw angels come to take the soul of Danny, who shared the same hospital room, when Danny died. At that time, the angels accurately told Jacqueline's father when they would be coming back for him. Jacqueline eventually told Danny's mother that angels had come for Danny at his death and this was a great relief to her because she had been worrying about Danny's fate in the afterlife.
About two weeks before he died he told us that he would not be here in two weeks, my sister asked him why where are you going Dad?, he said I will be dead. He said this the night another young guy named Danny died, Danny had melanoma and was in the bed opposite Dad. Dad relayed to me what happened just prior to Danny taking his last breath, Dad saw 2 large Angels enter the room and stand on either side of the bed not touching the ground, Dad heard Danny take his last breath and then Danny with the 2 Angels stood at the foot of Dads bed. One of the angels said to Dad we will be back for you in 2 weeks time. Dad died exactly 2 weeks to the day that Danny died. He told me that when he saw Danny's soul that he was happy and rejuvenated. Another thing Dad told me do not be afraid of death as it is like walking through a door. My father went from being a person who believed in nothing to being saved by Almighty God and for that I am so grateful and privileged to have been a witness to his saving grace. A few years after Dad died I get getting a message that I had to find Danny's mother and tell her about her son. I said Lord I do not know where to find her if you want me to tell her I am sure you will help it happen. It became very persistent that I find her, as luck or divine intervention would have it I happened to be working with Danny's best mate, I only found out when we were talking about previous jobs we had done. I told him where I had nursed and he told me his best mate had died there in the year I nursed there. I asked him his mates name and when he told me I said thank you God. Danny's friend put me in touch with Danny's mother that very day and I asked her if I could come and see her immediately after work she said yes. Danny's mum was a very frail little old lady and I was so afraid to tell her about Danny's last moments for fear of her not believing me or upsetting her. I told her what my father had witnessed when Danny died, she broke down crying, I was mortified as I thought I had done the wrong thing.
I said I am sorry for upsetting you like this. she said you have not upset me these are tears of joy, you have made me the happiest mother alive, she said she had fretted for years wondering what had happened to Danny after he died and know she knew that he was saved. God moves in mysterious ways. Danny's mother had been suffering severe depression since his passing Danny was 26 yrs old when he died, my Dad was 51 yrs old and they both died on a Sunday 2 weeks apart. I hope this gives comfort to a lot of people out there, Jesus and God are real Angels are real I know because my Dad saw them and was saved. God bless all of humanity.

'It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank...'
The jukebox could hardly be heard over the murk in the Magna Charta pub. Another Christmas Eve dodging drunks on the dockside, all full of hooch and ammunition and a year's worth of pent-up pot-luck. The factory had closed at lunchtime and the team had spilled up the streets into the pub.
Now, glancing out on the debris of a late night badly in need of a refit, Jaynie wondered which of the wannabe Shane MacGowans she'd be fighting off later. None of them knew the words, but they'd got the impression down-pat, she thought. Cocksure, toothless, swaying their way towards closing time with a soundtrack of Slade and The Rubettes.
Every Christmas had been the same for as long as Jaynie could remember. Since the ferry stopped. It was the 80s, but could have been last week. "I can see a better time, when all our dreams come true," he'd said on the pier, off to art college.
She had been 14 then, waving on the shoreline as the ferry made its last voyage to the city of vinegar and chips, now just a dim collection of lights best viewed half-cut at the edge of the timber yard. She waited a while for him to return, but the land crossing was inconvenient, he'd said, and involved three changes. He still loved her, but it was the train company's fault. Thatcher's fault. So she was stuck at the Magna Charta with the lads who couldn't afford to be anywhere else. They were neither handsome, nor pretty. She could be the queen of
New York
City, or ,
or New Holland as much as they cared. As long as she pulled the pints and made sandwiches
for the pool team. Sheba
The singing reached an inebriated crescendo. Men were bellowing Kirsty Macoll's part as if being an old slut on junk had never been so alluring. Scumbags, maggots and cheap lousy faggots hugged each other in the stale lounge bar.
"I could have been someone," Jaynie thought, "And not just anyone," as one of the fabricators made an ill-calculated move and knocked himself out on the slops tray.
Teeth dislodged, he hauled himself up by the rope of the last orders bell, while singing Galway Bay. He grinned and said something unintelligible. Jaynie took a second look and released it was him. Older, bleaker, drunker, merrier. But him.
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day.

There are some questions lots of people ask. These are often called 'Frequently Asked Questions' or FAQs. Here are some answers to the most popular questions we have been asked.
What animals have you seen?
While we were travelling in Central Asia (that's Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia) we saw lots of animals you might have seen in England. We saw cows, sheep, goats and horses. The main difference is these animals are often walking through towns or along the side of the road which does not usually happen in England. That meant we got to see them really close up.
We have also seen yak (looks like a cross between a cow and an American bison with a big hump on it's back) and camels. In Mongolia we also saw lots of a small animal called a Marmot that burrows in the ground and an animal that runs very fast called a gazelle. Both these animals are very shy and run away very quickly.
We have seen spiders, flies, ants, ladybirds, crickets, lizards and beetles. But we have also seen a special beetle called a dung beetle that lives in the desert. It collects dung (animal poo) and buries it in the sand where it makes a nest. We saw a strange cricket called a spider cricket. That's because it's legs make it look a bit like a spider.
There are lots of birds everywhere too. We have seen lots of black crows. We have seen a few birds of prey, like the eagle. We even saw some vultures once. They were sitting watching a dog eat something it had killed and were waiting for the dog to finish so they could eat the leftovers.
We saw lots of different animals in America too. We saw reindeer, elk and moose, mainly when we were in Alaska and Canada. Although these animals look quite alike some are bigger than others and their horns are slightly different shapes. We saw Wood Bison (sometimes called Buffalo) and foxes in Alaska and Canada.
On Antelope Island we didn't see any Antelopes, but we did see a Jackrabbit – he looks like a very big rabbit with black tips on his ears. And we saw chipmunks at the Hoover Dam. At a place called Death Valley we saw a coyote (like a wild dog). We also saw somthing called a Burros there – this is a wild horse and tends to be a bit smaller than the horses we might see normally.
In the warmer southern part of America (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas) we started to see snakes. We saw lots of different lizards, including a Texas horned lizard, Black Widow Spider nests and a Gila Monster (looks a bit like a lizard but bigger with brown and orange colours on his back). We have also seen something called a Javelina which is like a wild pig. It is smaller and darker in colour than the pigs we normally see in England. We have seen some white tailed deer in the Gila Mountains. And a Cheetah in California (he wasn't wild though, he was on a leash helping people understand about how Cheetahs live in Africa).
We have also seen lots of cattle and horses everywhere in America, as well as some mules and donkeys, and different birds such as a Red Cardinal, a tiny Humming Bird, lots of eagles and lots and lots of black Ravens.
In South America we saw lots of Guanaco, Vicuna, Llama and Alpaca. They are all what are known as Camelidods. That means they are a type of camel.
We are looking forward to seeing lots of very different animals in Africa.
How much fuel have you used?
The answer to this question changes every day we drive and depends on the type of roads we are driving on. Landy uses more fuel when we are driving on bumpy tracks. On average Landy travels 9 kilometres per litre of fuel (diesel). By the time we had reached Vladivostok we had driven 20,012 kilometres. That means we had used about 2,224 litres of diesel up until then.
Where are you now?
Sometimes we might stay in the same place for a few days. Sometimes we might travel every day. This means the answer to this question often changes.
But there are also two answers to this question. One is to tell you the name of the country we are in and the names of any towns near to where we are. We try to do that when we write our blogs so you might find the answer to the question there.
The second way we try to answer this question is through our map page. If you click on the button on the right called "See Where We Are" you will see a map of the world with a red line that shows where we have travelled so far. When we write a blog we put in 'map co-ordinates' that update the map.
The map page doesn't tell you the name of the country or town we are in but you can see from the map lots more about where we have been. Look for the blue circles on the line. They are usually places where we have camped or stayed overnight. On the left of the screen you can see a white bar with + and – signs. These allow you to zoom in and out on the map. If you click on the – sign you will zoom out and be able to see the whole map of the world and where we have been. If you zoom in (click on the + sign) you can see the the detail of the area where we stayed – it might be in the countryside, or in a town, or by a lake, or in a forest.
What different types of money have you used?
So far we have used: Euro (Belgium and Germany); Zloty (Poland); Hyrivnia (Ukraine); Tenge (Kazakhstan); Tegreg (Mongolia); Rouble (Russia); Canadian Dollar (Canada); United States Dollars (United States, also in El Salvador and Panama which are in Central America, and Ecuador which is in South America); Mexican Peso (in Mexico); Cordoba (Nicaragua); Belize Dollar (Belize); Quetzal (Guatemala); Lempira (Honduras); Colon (Costa Rica); Colon (El Salvador); Colombian Peso (Colombia); Balboas (Panama); Sols (Peru); Boliviano (Bolivia); Chilean Peso (Chile); Argentine Peso (Argentina); Rand (South Africa).
Even though the money looks a bit different to what we are used to it's still a mixture of notes and coins just like we are used to. The only difference was in Mongolia where they do not use any coins at all.
The difficult bit is that each different type of money has a different 'value' compared to the pound, and often that value changes a little bit – sometimes every day. For example, while we were in Russia most of the time £1 = 47 Roubles. So when we paid 26 Roubles for some chocolate it cost us about 55p.
Have you had any accidents / broken down / had any problems with Landy?
We have had several questions like this. Paul has written a special blog about some of the problems we had with Landy when we were in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia) and how he fixed them. Click HERE to read more.
Where do you sleep?
Most of the time we sleep in our big roof tent on top of Landy.
In very warm countries we might sleep outside underneath a mosquito net.
We also have a spare tent that is very small that we might need to use if it is very windy. A very small tent is also better if it is very cold as it easier to keep warm in a small space.
Sometimes we have stayed in hostels or cheap hotels. People we have met have also invited us to stay with them sometimes. In America and Mexico we have been invited to stay with friends for a few days.
How do you go to the toilet when you are travelling?
Where there are public toilets we use those.
In open country, deserts and jungle areas we need to walk away from the car and find somewhere private to 'go'.
We need to be very careful to avoid places close to water (streams) or fields where food is being grown.
In most places we can dig a hole and bury 'poo' and burn any toilet paper. But in very hot dry places it is better to leave it to dry and rot on the surface of the ground.
Landy has a shower cubicle that can be put up providing some privacy in areas where there are people about. But we will have to use a bucket and then find somewhere to empty it.
Are you scared about travelling in strange places?
Not so much scared. We know there are dangers and we try to avoid them. We try to make sure we camp in safe places where will not get robbed. We also keep Landy locked when we are not in him.
What if you get bitten by a snake or other animal, and what if you fall ill?
We will try to make sure we don't get bitten and we hope we don't get ill. But just in case we do get ill we have had some special medical training to help us work out what is wrong with us. Some illnesses we can treat ourselves, just like at home. If not we will try and find a doctor who can help us. If we get really, really, ill we might have to come home to get better.
How will you get fuel? What happens if you run out of fuel?
We will be able to buy diesel in every country we will visit. Sometimes garages might be many miles apart. Because of this we have extra fuel tanks and so will be able to carry much more fuel than most cars. In very remote areas people usually help each other so if we run out of fuel someone is likely to stop and help us.
What about your carbon footprint?
Because we both worked from home and drove a lot in our jobs our carbon footprint at home was higher than most people.
We think our carbon footprint will be reduced by about a quarter from 13.25 tonnes each per year to about 9.5 tonnes each per year. Most of that will come from running the engine on the car. The engine will not just provide our travel it will also give us some extra heating when we need it.
We will also have a lot less rubbish to get rid of. That will be better for the environment too.
Do you speak any other languages?
Not really. Helen can read a little Russian. Paul can speak a little French. We have both learned some Spanish while we were travelling in Central and South American.
We have a book with pictures we can point at. It has pictures of different types of food, hotels, toilets, shops. All the things we might need. We will also use lots of mime.
Will you have a TV or computer games?
No. We will not have enough room to take a TV or computer games with us. We expect to spend more time talking with the people we meet. We also have books to read.
Why did you choose the Land Rover Defender as your vehicle?
It's the best!! Seriously, the Land Rover Defender is very good at driving where there are no proper roads. Other cars are not so easy to repair and look after in the kind of places we will be going to.
What happens if you break down?
When we have had mechanical problems Paul has been able to fix some of these. Sometimes we have had help from local garages in the countries we have been visiting.
We also carry spares of many the parts we are most likely to need, including a spare wheel and two spare tyres. A couple of times we have arranged for spare parts to be sent to us from England. We have also been able to buy new parts that we can use in the countries we have been in.
How will you cross rivers and how will you drive where there are no roads?
Landy can drive through water up to 1.3 meters deep (that's as deep as the top of his bonnet) because he has a special air intake that means his engine can continue to work under water for a little while. Land Rovers are specially designed to allow them to drive over rough ground, that means we can drive in places where there are no roads.
How will you cross the sea?
We put Landy in a big container. Just like the containers that are carried on the back of big lorries. The container holding Landy will be put on a big ship to travel from one country to the next. We will either travel on the ship with Landy or fly to the next country and wait for him.
How fast can you go?
Landy is a big heavy car. He is also carrying lots of extra weight, such as the tent and spare parts. He is very strong and can carry that weight up very steep hills and over rough ground. But that also means he cannot go as fast as some cars. He can travel at about 65 miles per hour.
How long did it take to plan your journey?
We had been thinking about it before but it took about two years from the time we bought Landy.
What will it cost to go on your trip?
Landy cost £6,500. We spent about £15,000 making changes to him and buying special things like tents, extra fuel tanks and water tanks. We also spent another £5,000 on things like special training, passports, visas, extra warm clothes.
In some countries it is cheaper to buy food and fuel than in other countries. Prices will also change while we are travelling so we don't really know how much the total will be until the end. But we have allowed an average of £50 per day for the whole trip. That has to cover fuel, food, accommodation and any other things we need to buy like clothes, toiletries and even souvenirs. That adds up to a massive £30,000.
What are you looking forward to the most?
Meeting new people. Seeing what other countries look like.
Have you visited any other countries before?
We have visited a few countries before but during this trip we will visit a lot more countries than we have ever visited before.
How do you think you'll cope with spending 24 hours a day with each other for so long?
We think we will be OK. We will tell you more in the blog when we are travelling.
