Sometimes, in the middle of the TV/film awards season, during the 'Golden Globes' or the 'Oscars', as the female film stars move down the red carpet to a volley of camera flashes, you can hear the speculation, 'Wow! What a colourful outfit! 'Has she had any work done, do you think?' Well, here is one film star who is decked out to dazzle, AND she's had LOTS of work done under that skin! The story of TA719, a Mosquito TT.35, is fascinating…..
The De Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was almost 'all things to all men' in flying terms. From the dark days of 1940, when it was almost certain that the unarmed, mostly wooden, private venture bomber by De Havilland would never take flight, to the relentless hunting of the Luftwaffe nightfighter force over their own airfields in 1944/5 by Mosquito NF.XII and NF.XIIIs, the 'Wooden Wonder' emerged triumphant. Later, high-altitude bomber versions such as the B.XVI spawned even longer photo-reconnaisance Mosquitos such as the PR.34. Inevitably, as the fighting waned and was finally brought to abrupt halt by the atomic strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, orders for the most developed versions of this 'first of the multi-rôle aircraft' were either severely cut-back or cancelled. The B.35 bomber, powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin 113/114 combination (each of 1,690 hp) was capable of 422 mph at altitude, but its first flight did not occur until 12th March, 1945, so none saw squadron service during WW2. The B.35 was issued to No. 109 and No. 139 Squadrons at RAF Hemswell, post-war, but the Hatfield-built aircraft you can see here, TA719, after being completed in June, 1945 went straight into store at 22 MU. TA719 never saw service in the rôle for which it was designed, languishing in various storage facilities until 1953!
In 1953, TA719 was flown to Sywell Aerodrome, where she was converted to a target tug (TT.35) by Brooklands Aviation. She was delivered to No. 3 Civilian Anti Aircraft Co-operation Unit, and then transferred to No. 4 CAACU at Exeter Airfield in June 1954. The next nine years were busy, as TA719 provided high-speed radar targets for various stations, and towed target banners around the sky. Retired in March, 1953, she was assigned the civilian registration, G-ASKC and flown to Bovingdon, where much of the shooting for the film '633 Squadron' was taking place. Whilst there, TA719 was painted with the fictitious codes and serial, 'HT – G' and 'HJ898'. Acquired by the 'Skyfame Collection' at Staverton Airport, Gloucestershire, post-filming, TA719 was damaged during a landing accident. Following repairs, she had her second and last turn in front of the cameras, during the filming of 'Mosquito Squadron' in 1968, during which she was used to simulate a crash landing, and suffered in the ensuing fire. To add insult to injury, various components (including the engine cowlings) were stolen before TA719 was returned to 'Skyfame'. When the collection closed in 1978, the Imperial War Museum acquired the remains.
What follows was nothing short of a labour of love. The aircraft was minus engines, engine bearers, propellers, spinners, cowlings and needed a new port wing! A small team, lead by Ron Smoulton, built a new wing from scratch, fabricated a framework to carry fiberglass cowlings, propellers and spinners and painted the aircraft in a 1944 Bomber Command scheme for exhibition at Duxford. In 2005, a team of eight, lead by IWM staff members Dennis Smits and Dave Roberts completely overhauled TA719, and repaired the bomb bay doors and cockpit area, before returning the aircraft to her target tug scheme of a stylish silver topside and high-visibility yellow and black striped undersides. The year-long rebuild – essentially the whole aircraft – was completed in early 2005, and TA719 was exhibited for a time in No. 4 Hangar at Duxford, before being hoisted into her permanent position in the roof of 'AirSpace', IWM's tribute to British and Commonwealth aviation history.
John Lilley worked as part of the team on TA719, and it was this that inspired him, not just to become an owner of warbirds, but to now form the group 'Peoples Mosquito', an organization dedicated to seeing a Mosquito flying in British skies once again. I would urge all of you to explore their website, and consider ways in which you might help this grand vision to succeed!

During 1964,I joined the Skyfame Aircraft Museum at Staverton airport in Gloucestershire, where Mosquito fever took over my life when I saw TA719 in the hanger for the first time. This aircraft had completed the filming of 633 Squadron and was delivered to the new owner in December of 1963 , a Welsh Chicken farmer Mr Peter Thomas who sold everything to purchase 'Georgie' along with an Airspeed Oxford mk 2, V3388, and an Avro Anson mk 1, N4877, as a tribute to his brother Desmond, who died in a Wellington crash in Malta.
These aircraft had to earn their living and were flown as part of the nations first aviation museum to open it's doors to the public, as participants in two air displays a year in order to accumulate the necessary finance for the business to survive.
Prior to the July air display TA719 had to have a flight test to satisfy the ARB, (CAA), but the regular pilot was unable to be available on the allocated date and therefore nominated another experienced Mosquito pilot in his place. This pilot insisted on making a flight that included a feathering test, that really was un-necessary for the ARB inspector, however, the flight continued.
During the flight the starboard engine was feathered as planned, but a pannicking pilot insisted that the propeller would not unfeather and he was not skilled in single engine landing of Mosquito's. In truth, as heard during the police investigation immediately after the incident, it was admitted that this pilot was used to flying Mosquito aircraft having the Rotol Ltd propellers and feathering system and when unfeathering, the unfeather button is depressed and the unfeathering sequence continued automatically to engine ignition.
Unfortunately the propeller seemed to fail to unfeather using the DeHavilland, (Hamilton Standard build propellers under license by DeHavilland Dynamics), as the unfeather button required to be depressed and held in that condition to change the propeller pitch to fine, when the magnetoes were selected to restart the engine, but in a pannick the feather port button was selected and both propellers ceased rotating at 1200 feet and no co-pilot to assist.
The pilot executed a perfect wheels up landing on the airfield and on contact with the tarmac of the cross runway, the port propeller broke off at the reduction gear and jammed under the engine, while the starboard propeller broke free doing somersalts across the airfield, (strangely this assembly was never found on clean up), the aircraft continued to collide with a haystack that fractured the port wing outboard of the engine and retained by the control wires. The pilot escaped uninjured from the hatch.
On lifting the remains by crane, the sling crushed the port side of the cockpit and after the aircraft was on it's landing gear again it was towed to a safe place to be dismantled and kept in the museum until replaced by RS709.
When making 633 Squadron, Mirisch Films Inc. used TA718 to do the crash scenes and the badly burnt remains of this aircraft was used for spares.
I have a picture of TA719 on her belly seconds after the incident if anyone is interested??

Buckapound, You have me thinking. I threw away the packaging for the taps already, so I'm not sure if they are cobalt or carbide. I thought they were carbide. I'll have to look at them again when I'm at the hardware store.

A multi-turn vertical pot option was added to P1. Also the board was adjusted for a larger Wima cap foot print for both C1&C2.
The details are in the design thread on the Pass Labs forum. Also if we get 100 boards in this GB, the price will drop from $13 to $11 each plus shipping. -David |

Extending the GB deadline to Jan 9th
F1 GB participants,
The GB is scheduled to close Dec. 31st, 2008. Since we are so close to 100 boards and a price break, I'd like to extend the GB deadline to January 9th. If no one objects, this gives us a chance to get a few more participants and the board cost drops to $11 plus shipping. -David |

How long do they need to run these boards and do they need
payment before they start this order? The group buy stands at 82. When the total reaches 85 it will be cheaper to order 100 than 85 boards. I sure hope you can take paypal! |

Hi Woody,
I'm going to start taking payment shortly via PayPal. I bet we'll get a bunch more board orders next week after everyone's back from Winter vacation. We only need 9 more pairs ordered to get the next level of discount to get the cost down another couple of bucks per board. I have samples scheduled to arrive today. We will be ready as soon as they are verified. Happy New Year, -David |

Paid in a cheque to my Santander business account (2 months fees) and it took 13 days to clear (7 clear working days) - anyone else experiencing this sort of time lag ?
Nervous Newbie
Paid in a cheque to my Santander business account (2 months fees) and it took 13 days to clear (7 clear working days) - anyone else experiencing this sort of time lag ?
Still gathering requirements...
Funny you should say that, I posted a cheque over a week ago and it still doesnt show on my balance. Rang them this morning, and they cant tell me a thing unless it shows on the balance!
More time posting than coding
hope they're not in trouble as well! i've got a few quid with them. I gather they're going to lose lots of money due to the situation in Greece but we're assured that everything is ok in the UK, well sort of
Nervous Newbie
Blimey I had'nt thought of that angle !! When I rang they were terribly evasive and sounded rather affronted by my request for an explanation - apparently the size if the cheque ( 16,000) had triggered 'extended clearance authority' which they initially said would clear by Saturday and then did'nt till the Monday.
They are s-l-o-w at clearing cheques. Almost as slow as paying out!
I've ****ed them off and hope the co op bank are better (FSB account).
Fingers like lightning
Yep - transferred my cash ISA to them from First Direct - for some unknown reason First Direct sent them a cheque. My money disappeared for two weeks (although they did backdate the interest - no idea if this is normal practice or because of my ranting!)
Nervous Newbie
tried splitting transactions into smaller amounts. still waited 15 days for cheque clearance. assistant said to me " it's not as if you pay for your account is it?"!!!!! i have a ' no fee' business account, but am not allowed to get advice from my branch or pay money in 'over the counter' all transactions have to be carried out online or by atm machines which are quite often 'out of service'. they regularly put my deposits into my savings account (in error???????) and tell me i made a mistake on the atm machine. they also take 4 days to process bacs deposits. the staff are extremely arrogant and most unhelpful. i have been with this bank (previously ABBEY) for 35 years. that's probably more years than the average age of the staff......jc
Contractor Among Contractors
I think you must have imagined this problem, as every time I post about my horrendous experience trying to open an account with them lots of people post back saying they have had no problems and they are a great bank.

Business cards designed
- Status Completed
- Budget $250 - $750 AUD
- Total Bids 56
Project Description
Have just aquired a little cafe and am in the process of reformatting. The cafe is being called "Sasquatch Brew Bar" and am looking to have some business cards/loyalty cards made up for the place.
I have come up with a very basic outline of what the cards will have, but it needs some serious refining.
The "logo" (attached) that I've crudely drawn up is more of an idea, than anything, and I'm happy to allow for as much creative freedom as possible. I require the cards to be made of rough material (or rough-looking), and the back of the cards need a loyalty programme (second image for idea).

Dust It Off Bloghop!
Welcome to day one of the Dust It Off Bloghop, hosted by Theresa Paolo and Cortney Pearson! This hop is all about the WIPs you wrote, and then shelved!
Okay, so I am teaming up with Clare Dugmore for this one, because back in 2006 - yup, we've known each other THAT long lol! - we started to write a book together. Unfortunately, other commitments got in the way and we never finished it - but even so many years on - it's still something we remember fondly, so we're going to dust it off for you!
The first day, May 3rd: We want you to post a 1-2 sentence pitch (Great way to practice pitches) about the shelved WIP.
Here is the pitch Clare and I came up with:
For best friends Caitlin and Tori, their first acting job out of Uni opens up a whole new world for them – unfortunately, it wasn't the world they were expecting. When the strains of adult life and tangled relationships threaten to ruin their friendship, they are forced to take a look at what's really important.
Don't forget to hop around to the other blogs and see what wonderful projects everyone is dusting off! :D
65 comments:
It fills me with happiness that we're talking and thinking about this story again! Working with you is great fun, and we bounce ideas off each other wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteWonderful blog! I, too, am working on my first novel (or should I say novels since I have several works in progress?). I look forward to following your journey!
ReplyDelete...great idea for a blog hop. With a little fine-tuning, some of those dusty manuscripts may find themselves on an editor's desk ;) Who knows?
ElGreat idea for a blog hop.
It's a shame you didn't get the chance to finish the book but maybe this will reignite it again.That's great that you and Clare worked on a project together! I love both your writing styles, and the synopsis sounds excellent :)
ReplyDeleteSo I assume you each took one character's perspective. Whose did you write? Have you collaborated with anyone else since then?
ReplyDeleteI just saw this on Clare's blog! I love that you guys co-wrote this, and it sounds like a fab story! Friendship stories are so great! Maybe you guys will pull it out and start working on it again, who knows? :)
ReplyDeleteCo-writing is great and I love how your MS is similar to why you are using this MS for the blog. Life gets in the ways of goals and ambitions alike. I love it. Art imitates Life or the other way around. lol
ReplyDeleteI've wondered if I would be able to co-write with someone. It's great that you had such a wonderful experience.
ReplyDeleteCo-writing is so fantastically fun. I've loved all the projects I've done (though none of them were done for publication, or even with the thought of ever letting anyone else near them).
ReplyDeleteI just read this on Clare's blog. It sounds fun, I think you guys need to keep working on it! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was eight my friend and I wrote this four book series about a young girl. They were really short books with lots of handrawn pictures, but we had such a blast doing it :P
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a life story...one that you witness like Thelma and Louise and realize that many of us are ignoring the truly important facets that make life worth living. Excellent pitch.
ReplyDeleteCo-working, nice!
I like this pitch. I think you guys should take it out of the shelf and go back to it ;)I read this on Clare's site. How fun to do a book together! You should totally do it again. :)
ReplyDeleteCool pitch! Good one for YA. Co-working has a lot of challenges. I did it once and realized I like to have too much control over what I want to do myself!
ReplyDeleteLove the fact that you and Clare co-wrote this. I love collaborations because each person could bring a little something else to the table. And your pitch, totally sounds like something I would pick up off the shelf, read and walk right to the register with. I hope you two revisit it again one day. I would read it in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteI would totally love to see the world of acting :) I think you guys should continue writing it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blogfest! Sounds like a fun story too - you might want to revisit that concept some day :)
ReplyDeleteI like the premise. I visited Clare too; and I hope you two find a way to work on this again.

Quatermass follows a professor and his daughter who investigate an alien invasion.
Why we're looking forward to this: With just about everything under the sun having been given the reboot treatment in the last few years, it's about time that one of the quintessential British science fiction / horror series was given its time in the sun.
The Quatermass Experiment originally aired in 1953, with Reginald Tate in the title role, and spawned two sequels in the form of 1955's Quatermass II and 1958's Quatermass and the Pit, as well as a 1979 remake and 2005 live television performance of the tale.
The influence of Quatermass on subsequent British television shows like Blake's 7, Dr Who and Red Dwarf, as well as American shows like the The X-Files mean that this new version, being written by The League of Gentlemen co-creator Jeremy Dyson , is something that we at This Is Horror are particular curious about.
Quatermass is currently in production by BBC America and will likely invade our screens in 2017.

Wedding photography sparks complaint from Chicago bride
COMPLAINT: Amy Pilafas, Chicago
Mike Schneider Photography was my wedding photographer. The package I purchased included an engagement photo session, wedding photography, a photo CD, three albums, all the proofs and photo files, plus two enlargements.
My husband and I liked his pictures and his services on the day of the wedding. Our main wedding album, however, has never been delivered. It's been about two months since he said it would be done. Mike won't return my e-mails or my husband's repeated calls.
I don't understand why he's completely ignoring us after we spent $4,000 and never got the rest of our package. He still owes us our main album, our engagement picture files and the two enlargements. At this point, I'm willing to go without the enlargements if I can get my album and the picture files.
DESIRED RESOLUTION: I want the CD with the engagement picture files and my wedding album sent to me.

There's no experience quite like packing for university - especially if it's your first year. The thought of packing up and heading out on a new adventure can be super exciting! But just thinking about how awesome it will be isn't going to get you any closer to being packed and ready to go.
But before the long-term growth and development of tourism in Brazil, airfares will see an initial drop giving budget travellers the chance to visit in style. Here are 8 tips on travelling to Rio on a budget after the 2016 Olympics.
Scrolling through my timetable in first-year, I couldn't understand why I had so few contact hours a week. Eight? Was that all? It seemed like nothing compared to the twenty-five hours I had at school.
Flip flops, shorts and bikinis - oh my! There's nothing better than summer clothes shopping, even if you haven't got a holiday booked. Just the though...
Discussing mental health for the first time, or even the twentieth time isn't always easy. I've certainly had mixed experiences when it comes to speaking with health professionals about my mental health.
From my experience as both an undergraduate and post-graduate student, I think I speak for the majority when I say I warmly welcome any company that wants to help reduce student costs.
I am taking part in industrial action because by asking us to do more for less our employers are ruining the experiences of our students and because I can see the unfairness of my employer employing the majority of men (52%) on permanent, full-time contracts, whilst the majority of women (56.4%) are in casualised employment. I will be standing shoulder to shoulder with colleagues and students in defence of higher education and to make it clear that casualisation and pay inequality are not acceptable.
I have to admit that when I left university I tried pretty hard to distance myself from the student world. Two weeks before graduating I moved out of ...
I mean, you'd think it would be pretty obvious. Students' union - the clue is kind of right there in the name. And yet, there still seems to be considerable confusion on the part of some.
As Kermit the Frog once said 'it's not easy being green' and this is especially true when it comes to fashion. We always assume going green involves wearing a hemp sack and not washing your hair for weeks on end but this just isn't true.
Brookes ends his article reminding the reader that 'This isn't about 'banning people we don't like, it's about keeping fascists off campus'. This sounds an awful lot like it's about banning people you don't like. Overall, his view is discouraging. The nonsense of safe spaces is becoming exhausting. Students are more than capable of listening to a fascist and defeating their arguments publically. Give students more credit, you're underrating them.
Just being a little more conscious about how you wash, care and wear your clothes will not only save you from chucking out some of your fav items but also save you some of the rare spare cash you have.
"Wait. Students are saving lives by spitting?" Yes, really, and it's not as weird as it may sound at first... On a campus near you, student volunteers are busy asking fellow students to spit in a tube, or 'spit kit'.
Packing up your bedroom and going to uni is exciting and scary whether you're going into your first year, or subsequent years. Packing up and heading off to uni and leaving behind a parent (or other family member) who is dying brings a whole host of new challenges and worries.
So many people associate Freshers' Week with massive parties and heavy drinking, but that's a pretty outdated stereotype of student life! Yes, we've got a packed week of clubbing and live acts going on - but we've also got hundreds of other events and there are so many opportunities to meet people who want to do the same things as you do!
Starting university is a pretty intimidating experience, and one which we seem to be expected to automatically know how to do without any actual guidelines. At times I found it overwhelming and lonely, while everyone else around me seemed to be having the time of their lives. So for my little brother and everyone else out there starting university with not a clue what to expect, here's your survival guide...

Nod to Bruce
Dad's brother passed away last week.
He left this earth for a better place. A place without diabetes. A place without angst and pain.
The true artist in the family tree.
We wanted to share just a small sampling of his work.
"What is Hip"
He loved photography.
"Buddha's Palm"
He loved drawing.
And Rock and Roll.
He left us a legacy of photos, poetry, artwork and music.
He was an original. He was loved.
Rest in Peace, Bruce

arrest database
NFL PLAYER ARRESTS: SHOWING 1 Record(s)
Date | Team | Name | POS | Case | Category | Description | Outcome |
2007-03-13 | SEA | Jerramy Stevens | TE | Arrested | DUI | Pulled over in Scottsdale, Ariz., accused of extreme drunken driving, marijuana possession. Blood-alcohol measured at .204. | Guilty on three counts, 12 days in jail, $3,160 in fines. |
These are arrests, charges and citations of NFL players for crimes more serious than common traffic violations. Almost all of the players belonged to an NFL roster at the time of the incident. In rare cases, a free agent is included only if that player later signs with an NFL team. The data comes from media reports and public records. It cannot be considered fully complete because records of some player arrests might not have been found for various reasons, including lack of media coverage or accessible public records. Many resolutions to these cases also are pending or could not be immediately found. The database was conceived and created by sports writer Brent Schrotenboer, who can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please contact him with any updates or inquiries.

Stadium survey draws few responses from lawmakers
- 10 November, 2011 //
- Political Animal //
- Tags :
A short email survey sent last week to all 201 state legislators seeking views on a potential new Vikings stadium has drawn only six responses.
The survey was sent Friday, Nov. 4, with a deadline of noon Monday the 7th. The Political Animal was out sick till Thursday, so the deadline was extended by default.
Responses are still being accepted, and updates will be filed as warranted.
Gov. Mark Dayton has said it is now up to lawmakers to come up with a stadium plan that can get enough votes to pass, which led the Pioneer Press to survey the state's senators and representatives directly on the key issues involved.
Among the 3 percent of lawmakers who responded so far, using a sports memorabilia tax and electronic pulltabs to fund a stadium got strong support.
Arden Hills got two votes as the best stadium site; the Farmers Market and Metrodome each got one.
Acting in a special session and in the regular session each got one vote, and two lawmakers said they didn't care when the issue was taken up.
Those responding were Sens. Linda Higgins, DFL-Minneapolis and Carla Nelson, R-Rochester; and Republican Reps. Jim Abeler of Anoka and Bud Nornes of Fergus Falls along with Democratic Reps. Bev Scalze of Little Canada and Alice Hausman of St. Paul.
Their responses broke down as follows:
Higgins: No preference on session; likes electronic pulltabs, sports memorabilia tax and airport casino for funding (Block E casino and Legacy funds get a HELL NO!); likes Farmers Market site.
Abeler: Flexible on session; sports memorabilia tax a "no brainer;" Arden Hills best site.
Scalze: Wants to act in 2012 session; fund with electronic pulltabs, sports memorabilia tax, wants no public money involved; likes Arden Hills site.
Nornes: Wants to act in special session; no funding source or site specified.
Hausman: Doesn't want to act on stadium in either special or regular session; wants no gambling or public money used; Metrodome is best site.
Nelson: No state general fund money should be used. "The players, those who participate, and those who profit should provide funds for a Vikings Stadium in a financially responsible way. This being said, I am still considering other financing ideas. Ideas include, but are not limited to: seat licensing agreements, user fees, and electronic pull tabs. However, I do not support Legacy funds being diverted to a stadium," Nelson said.
Here is the email sent to lawmakers:
House and Senate members:
We'd like this to be a QUICK and EASY way for you to express your views on a potential Vikings stadium.
Please hit "reply," put an "x" in the appropriate boxes and send back by noon Monday, Nov. 7.
1) I prefer to act on a Vikings stadium
in a special session before the 2012 session [ ]
in the 2012 session [ ]
neither [ ]
2) To fund a stadium, I would support
electronic pulltabs [ ]
racino [ ]
Block E casino [ ]
no gambling money being used [ ]
using Legacy Amendment money [ ]
sports memorabilia tax [ ]
no public money being used [ ]
3) The best location for a new Vikings stadium is
Arden Hills [ ]
Metrodome site [ ]
Farmers Market site [ ]
Linden Avenue site [ ]

News of the Weird: Respect all cultures!?; screwed for something he didn't
By Chuck Shepherd
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | For years, many traditional funerals in Taiwan -- especially in rural areas or among working classes -- have included pop singers and bikinied dancers, supposedly to entertain the ghosts that will protect the deceased in the afterlife.
According to a recent documentary by anthropologist Marc Moskowitz, some of the dancers until 20 years ago were strippers who did lap dances with funeral guests, until the government made such behavior illegal.
Contemporary song-and-dance shows, like the traveling Electric Flower Car, supposedly appeal to "lower" gods who help cleanse the deceased of the more mundane vices such as gambling and prostitution (compared to the "higher" gods who focus on morality and righteousness). [Asian Age-ANI (New Delhi), 7-12-2011]
Advances in DNA testing have improved society in several ways in the last two decades, especially in criminal justice, but in many states, one area remains a backwater, as News of the Weird has noted over the years: men's obligation to pay support for children they did not father.
Ray Thomas of Houston is the most recent frustrated complainant, with a court refusing to relieve him of the $52,000 in back child support he owes for a "daughter" that DNA has subsequently shown is not his.
Ironically, in March the Texas legislature became one of the few to allow men like Thomas to present DNA evidence in order to end court-ordered support, but the state attorney general noted that the new law covers only prospective judicial orders. [KHOU-TV, 6-23-2011]

In this blog series we'll explore how heuristic evaluation can help you improve your website through concrete scores and data visualizations. Before we actually teach and walk you through the process of evaluation, we first must learn how to:
- Create heuristics
- Score your findings
- Visualize your scores
- Create tasks.
Starting your first website evaluation can be a doozy
I remember starting my first usability audit in the office and I can tell you it was not a walk in the park. Usability best practices were not in my UX toolkit yet and not knowing whether was I right or wrong is the worst part. This is where I realized that a structured review methodology can be a crucial arsenal in your toolkit, especially for first timers. Keeping things formal, organized and consistent will make our evaluation faster and consistent in the future. Luckily there are loads of online resources today that we can use.

Dadanawa ranch is one of the most remote in the world. It's an opportunity to have a holiday few others will be able to share. Due to it's remote location and the focus on conservation most of the ranch buildings are original from the 1920's when the ranch was established and have running water from the well but no electricity. The guest houses themselves have a lot of history and charm. They rise above the ground protected from the lake of water that makes Dadanawa an island in rainy season with beautiful views from the verandas across the savannah and of the Kanuku Mountain Range. We have beds for up to15 people but have in the past accommodated more with the use of hammocks.

Cutting new servo location in main wing. -
Etching sheeted balsa insert away from plywood. Plywood was inserted in order to hold the servo and recovered with the sheeted balsa. -
The servo cut out (which is now the new aileron). Original servo cut-out location will now serve as the flap. -
The flap is cut away from aileron. The ratio was about 45% flap to 55% aileron length. -
Covering is reapplied to cover servo cut out. -
Applied covering is now slit and ready to receive new servo. This new servo will now function as the aileron servo. The original aileron servo will now be the flap servo. The original servo did not have to be altered. -
Topside View of flap cut into aileron. -
View of the bottomside wing with aileron and flap with servo cut outs. Ready for servo installation!
After placing the vent holes, (2) pieces of plywood were glued inplace, inorder to build a shelve for the speed controller to hang under the motor. -
Speed controller shelf is glued in place. -
Another view of speed controller shelf. Note the cut out space of the shelf on fire wall side. -
The 60a ESC is mounted under the installed shelf with wire ties. -
Motor and ESC are completely mounted, with wire ties on motor wires. -
In order to to gain accuracy on tail section mounting, a wood bar is used and mounted with a vise grip, so that the complete tail section can be squared off. -
Elevator section is checked for alignment, prior to any gluing. -
Make shift weights are applied to assure that the elevator tail rests evenly on alignment jars.

Chapter 1
The Quantum
In his famous autobiography The Education of Henry Adams, published only a few years into the twentieth century, the historian Henry Adams shouted alarm that the sacred atom had been split. Since the ancient Greeks, the atom had been the smallest particle of matter, the irreducible and indestructible element, the metaphor for unity and permanence in all things. Then, in 1897, the British physicist J. J. Thomson found electrons, particles far lighter and presumably smaller than atoms. The next year, Marie Sklodovska (Madame Curie) and her husband Pierre Curie discovered that the atoms of a new element, called radium, continuously hurled out tiny pieces of themselves, losing weight in the process. Now, nothing was permanent -- nature no more than human civilizations. The solid had become fragile. Unity had given way to complexity. The indivisible had been divided.
As Adams was summing up the nineteenth century, he was evidently unaware of another scientific bombshell that had just exploded, ultimately as earthshaking and profound as the fracturing of the atom. On December 14, 1900, in a lecture to the stodgy German Physical Society in Berlin, Max Planck proposed the astounding idea of the quantum: energy does not exist as a continuous stream, which can be subdivided indefinitely into smaller and smaller amounts. Rather, he suggested, there is a smallest amount of energy that can be divided no further, an elemental drop of energy, called a quantum. Light is an example of energy. The seemingly smooth flood of light pouring through a window is, in reality, a pitter-patter of individual quanta, each far tootiny and weak to discern with the eye. Thus began quantum physics.
At the time of his lecture, Planck was bald from the middle of his head forward, with a sharp aquiline nose, a mustache, a pair of spectacles fastened to his face, and the overall look of a dull office clerk. He was forty-two years old, almost elderly for a theoretical physicist. Newton had been a youth in his early twenties when he worked out his law of gravity. Maxwell had polished off electromagnetic theory and retired to the country by age thirty-five. Einstein and Heisenberg would be in their mid-twenties when they erected their great monuments.
In 1900, Planck was already established as one of the leading theoretical physicists in Europe. Planck himself had helped legitimize the discipline. Fifteen years earlier, when he secured the rare position of professor of theoretical physics at the University of Kiel, theoretical science was considered an impotent profession, inferior to laboratory experiments. Few students clamored to hear Planck's mathematical lectures. Then, in 1888, after his studies of heat -- in which he clarified the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the concept of irreversibility -- Planck was appointed professor at the University of Berlin. At the same time, he was made director of the new Institute for Theoretical Physics, founded mainly for him.
At the end of the nineteenth century, physics basked in the glow of extraordinary achievement. Newton's precise laws of mechanics, which described how particles respond to forces, together with Newton's law for gravity had been successfully applied to a large range of terrestrial and cosmic phenomena, from the bouncing of balls to the orbits of planets. The theory of heat, called thermodynamics, had reached its climax with the melancholy but deep Second Law of Thermodynamics: an isolated system moves inexorably and irreversibly to a state of greater disorder. Or, equivalently, every machine inevitably runs down. All electrical and magnetic phenomena had been unified by a single set of equations, called Maxwell's equations after the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who completed them. Among other things, these laws demonstrated that light, that most primary of natural phenomena, is an oscillating wave of electromagnetic energy, traveling through space at a speed of 186,282 miles per second. The new areas of physics known as statistical physics and kinetic theory had shown that the behavior of gases and fluids could be understood on the basis of collisions between large numbers of tiny objects, assumed to be the long-hypothesized but invisible atoms and molecules. In short, as Planck scribbled his equations at the dawn of the new century, physics might survey its vast kingdom and be pleased.
Some cracks, however, were starting to show in the marble facade. Aside from the philosophical dismay expressed by Mr. Adams, Thomson's electron was clearly a new type of matter that demanded explanation and raised other questions about the innards of atoms. The "radioactive" disintegrations observed by the Curies involved the unleashing of huge quantities of energy. What was the nature of this energy and where did it come from? Other emissions of electromagnetic radiation from atoms, the so-called atomic spectra, exhibited surprising patterns and regularities but with no theoretical understanding. Equally perplexing were the repeating patterns in the properties of the chemical elements, a phenomenon that scientists suspected was caused by the structure of atoms.
Finally, physicists had observed that a unique kind of light, called black-body light or black-body radiation, emerged from all hot, blackened boxes held at constant temperature. (Set a kitchen oven at some temperature, leave the oven door closed for a long time, and black-body radiation will develop inside -- although at any practical cooking temperature this light will be below the frequencies visible to the human eye.) It was already well known to scientists that all hot objects emit light -- that is, electromagnetic radiation. In general, the nature of such light varies with the properties of the hot object. But if the radiating object is additionally enclosed within a box and held at constant temperature, its light assumes a special and unvarying form, the so-called black-body radiation.
A particularly mysterious aspect of black-body light was that its intensity and colors were completely independent of the size, shape, or composition of the container -- as surprising as if human beings all over the world, upon being asked a question, uttered the same sentence in reply. A heated black box made of charcoal and shaped like a cigar produces precisely the same light as a black box made of dark tin and shaped like a beach ball, provided that the two boxes have the same temperature. The known laws of physics could not explain black-body light. Even worse, the standard working theories of light and of heat actually predicted that a blackened box held at constant temperature should create an infinite amount of luminous energy! It was the puzzle of black-body radiation that Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck had solved for his lecture of December 14, 1900.
A great deal was already known of the subject. With the use of colored filters and other devices, scientists had measured how much energy there was in each frequency range of black-body light. A colored filter allows light of only a narrow range of frequencies to pass through it. (The frequency of light is the number of oscillations per second. Each frequency of light corresponds to a particular color, just as each frequency of sound corresponds to a particular tone.) The amount of energy in a given frequency range of light is measured by a device called a photometer. Photometers gauge the intensity of light falling on a surface -- a glass plate, for example -- by comparing that light to another beam of light of known intensity. The comparison can be accomplished, for example, by the relative penetrating power of light through a liquid. More intense light beams have greater penetrating power. (Several decades into the twentieth century, light intensities could be measured more accurately by their electrical effects, with photoelectric detectors.)
The breakdown of a light source into the amount of energy in each range of frequency is called a light spectrum. When the light is black-body light, its spectrum is called a black-body spectrum. Figure 1.1 illustrates two black-body spectra, one for a temperature of 50 K and another for a temperature of 65 K. Here the K stands for Kelvin, the unit of temperature on the absolute temperature scale, which is a form of the Celsius scale with the zero point shifted. The coldest possible temperature lies at 0 K and -273 C.
A more familiar example of a spectrum is the graph that shows how many adults there are in each range of heights. Such a spectrum is usually a bell-shaped curve, with few people at very small heights and few people at very tall heights. As one would expect, the height spectrum varies from one country to the next, since human heights are determined by a large number of variables such as genetics and diet. So, it was remarkable when Planck's predecessor to the Berlin chair, Gustav Kirchhoff, and others, discovered that the black-body spectrum does not vary at all with the details of the container. The black-body spectrum depends only on a single parameter, the temperature.
Planck was much impressed by the uniqueness and universality of the black-body spectrum, reasoning that such a universality must be the result of some fundamental new law of nature. A few weeks prior to his December lecture, the German physicist had in fact guessed a formula for the spectrum of black-body light. Planck's formula was a mathematical expression for the amount of energy in each range of frequency of black-body light, and it agreed with all experimental measurements. Embracing the aesthetic criteria common to most physicists, Planck found pleasure in the simplicity of his formula, using the word "simple" (einfach in German) twice in the first paragraph of his paper.
But a mathematical formula, in itself, is only a tidy summary of quantitative results, like a sun calendar, which tells the number of daylight hours on each day of the year. Such a calendar is useful for making plans, but it does not explain why the numbers come out as they do. To know why, we need to know what causes day and night, we need to know that the earth spins on its axis at a certain rate, that the earth also orbits the sun at a certain rate, that the earth's axis is tilted at a particular angle. When we know all of these things, we understand why. With such understanding, we could then predict the sun calendar for any planet anywhere in the universe, given the corresponding astronomical facts.
Planck was not satisfied with merely guessing the right formula for black-body light. What compelled him and haunted him was to answer the deeper question: Why? What fundamental, inviolable principles led to that formula, made it a logical necessity, required it and it alone out of all the possible einfachen formulas that one could imagine? Why was that same formula observed to be true over and over again, from one experiment to the next, even for experiments that had never been done?
To understand the why of his formula, Planck discovered that he had to reject centuries of physical thought that you could chop energy into smaller and smaller pieces indefinitely. Surprisingly, the world did not work in that way. Planck could explain his formula for black-body light only by the radical proposal that there was a smallest piece of energy, called the quantum, which could not be chopped any further. Evidently, energy, like matter, came in granular form. The quantum was the grain of sand on the beach, the penny of currency in the subatomic world. The quantum was indivisible.
Planck was a theoretician, someone who works with pencil and paper and imagines experiments in his mind. To arrive at his conclusions, the German physicist imagined lots of atoms enclosed in a black box, all emitting and absorbing light. In such a situation, the atoms are affected by the surrounding light, and the surrounding light is affected by the atoms. Planck then discovered that if the atoms could absorb or emit energy only in whole chunks, quanta, then the resulting light would necessarily become black-body light.
For much of his life thereafter, Planck was amazed by the success of his quantum proposal. Like other theoretical physicists, he had an almost religious faith in the absolute validity of the laws of nature, which would, as he wrote in 1899, "retain their significance for all times and for all cultures including extraterrestrial and nonhuman ones." For Planck, "the search for the absolute" was "the loftiest goal of all scientific activity."
Yet in spite of Planck's lofty views, he himself did not aspire to make great discoveries. As he told Philipp von Jolly, his professor at the University of Munich, he desired only to understand and perhaps deepen the existing foundations of physics. (In 1878, Jolly actually advised the twenty-year-old Planck not to continue with physics, on the grounds that all the fundamental laws had been discovered.) Planck's cautious manner of "understanding" was to study a subject slowly and carefully, until he had mastered it. Such a conservative and modest approach seemed to grow naturally out of his background as the descendant of a long line of pastors, scholars, and jurists -- Planck's father, Wilhelm, was a professor of jurisprudence at Kiel and then Munich -- and further to resonate with his loyal support of imperial Germany. Planck's natural restraint carried over to his personal relationships. Marga von Hoesslin Planck, his second wife, wrote to another physicist that her husband was quite proper and reserved with anyone other than his family and could enjoy himself only with people of his own rank, with whom he might take a glass of wine and a cigar and even make a quiet joke.
There were two situations in which Planck abandoned his reserve: with his family and in music. As a young man he wrote to a friend, "How wonderful it is to set everything else aside and live entirely within the family." Many years later, Marga confirmed this feeling in a letter to Einstein upon the death of her husband: "He only showed himself fully in all his human qualities in the family." Planck's other liberation was music. While a student at the University of Munich, he composed songs and a whole operetta; he served as second choirmaster in a school singing group; he played the organ at services in the student's church; and he conducted. For the rest of his life, he played the piano superbly at small musical gatherings in his home. Music, according to Planck's nephew-in-law Hans Hartmann, was the "only domain in life in which [Planck] gave his spirit free rein."
Following Planck's line of argument will help us understand how theoretical scientists think, how they use models, imagination, and logical consistency through mathematics. As it turns out, Planck's paper on the quantum is one of the most conceptually difficult and abstract of any in this book, and the reader will need to exercise some patience and good humor. Planck begins his landmark paper by considering the material atoms that make up the inner walls of the blackened box. After all, these atoms are responsible for creating the observed black-body light, by emitting and absorbing electromagnetic radiation. He idealizes each of these atoms as a "monochromatic vibrating resonator," that is, a system that emits and absorbs light at only a single frequency, say pure red or pure green. A concrete example of one of Planck's monochromatic vibrating resonators would be an electron bouncing up and down, or "vibrating," on a spring. As the electron bounces, it emits light of a particular frequency, the precise number of up-and-down bounces each second. Different frequencies correspond to different rates of bouncing, which in turn are determined by different stiffnesses of the springs. Black-body light is then hypothetically produced by a large number of these bouncing electrons at many different frequencies. All of these ideas are in accord with Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism.

He's Offended. How dare you connect BLM to the kidnapping… you racist!
Here's a quick summary of what Wail Quasim is so upset about.
The topic, obviously, is the video where four punks laugh while they're terrorizing their mentally disabled victim. He was kidnapped and held for between 24 and 48 hours. When it became popularized, the hashtag connected with it was #blmKidnapping.
Of course, he doesn't mention his own biases. He's a long-time proponent of BLM. No wonder he's offended by any connection of an obviously evil act to a movement he supports.
He wrote a column where he tells us a bit about himself.
'Somali, black, queer, working class, Muslim or gender nonconforming. Everything on that list applies to me.' — Wail Qasim.
Sounds like the ideal template for the typical Social Justice Warrior. Let's see if he gives us a dispassionate treatment of the issues.
The video reveals horrible and sadistic behavior. The young man is obviously distraught whilst he is tormented with physical attacks, forced to drink toilet water and pursued through a property under threat of a knife. Throughout the four attackers bully him whilst saying 'fuck Donald Trump' – which they force him to repeat – and 'fuck white people'. There is no doubt, the images showcase brutality not often witnessed. It looks likes torture, but given there is no discernable purpose to their violence it's even more senseless than that.
All this is evident from the footage and deserves condemnation, but where has the confusion that this is a 'Black Lives Matter kidnapping' come from? Neither the video itself nor information from the police suggests a link to the Black Lives Matter network in the United States. Moreover none of the video's content implies that the four individuals who carried out this attack were moved to do so by politics promoted in the movement fighting against racist state brutality – unless it's simply enough of a link to hate Donald Trump. The charge against Black Lives Matter seems to be based solely on the fact that the four attackers are African Americans and their victim white.
…Black Lives Matter was supposed to take responsibility for his actions with some labelling the incident an example of their 'black supremacy'. On the White House's 'We the People' website 141,444 people, enough to meet the threshold for an official response, signed a petition comparing Black Lives Matter to Isis and calling on the Federal government to treat them as a 'terrorist organisation'.
… Group criminalisation of black people – often based on a reputation of being unreasonable and uncivilised brutes – is one such historical racist habit. In leading a popular campaign to expose racism, Black Lives Matter has unsurprisingly become victim to this old and tired prejudice. Though there's no material link between the group and the Chicago attackers, their shared race is enough to make each of them guilty of the others' crimes.
…Racist judgements about groups are one problem, but that beast becomes even more dangerous when taking the form of a conspiracy theory. The idea that Black Lives Matter is orchestrating a campaign of hate and terror against white people is exactly that, a conspiracy theory. In reality they are fighting for their lives by trying to end forms of racism that are killing them. By pretending otherwise some people are deliberately whipping up dangerous fear – rest assured, black people are not coming to start a war against white people. They never have and white people have never collectively been the victims.
Conspiracy theory..?
BLM trades in dishonest statistics to force others to comply with their demands, they have a tendency to denounce first and ask for facts later, are heavily funded by a political activist whose idea of 'philanthropy' extends to deliberately collapsing economies for his own profit.
Color us skeptical about the 'integrity' of your movement.
What they claim about themselves and what we can see in their public interaction are not the same.
In the name of BLM we have seen Black Lives Matter chants intermingled with calls to violence. We have seen white people told they were NOT allowed among the others in the front of the march.
They perpetuate ideas of racial victimhood and demonize white people.
Even when a black cop kills a black man, even when the cops are exonerated, it's assumed it's 'racially motivated' and marches easily devolve into riots.
It's a short walk from turning white people … as a group … into villains (combined with perpetuating the belief that there is not help to be found by the legal system) to giving people moral justification to taking the law into their own hands, or lashing out at white people generally.
This is only exacerbated by the endless accusations — casually thrown around — of one of the most damaging label our society has today. "Racist" (Or it's other fellow-travellers… sexist, and homophobe.)
What is the connection between BLM and the kidnapping?
BOTH are rage-fuelled Pro-black, anti-white expressions antithetical to the vision of Dr. MLK.

So many books, so little time - Frank Zappa

Stories and Shout Outs
I happily sailed through 13/17 books in two months, but then I baulked.
I wanted to read things that weren't on my preordained list, and I wanted to read them NOW!
I also have the same problem with series.
I prefer not to read them all in a row. I need to have breaks inbetween books. It keeps them fresher somehow.
I confirmed this over the summer with the Elena Ferrante books and Harry Potter.
I read books 2 and 3 of the Ferrante's back to back. Big mistake!
By the time of I got to the end of book 3 I was ready to throw it across the room. I burnt out. I needed to get out of Naples - now!
I read the first three Harry Potter's in December, but I read something else inbetween each one. I loved rereading them. But I knew I wasn't ready to move onto no. 4 yet.
I've learnt my lesson.
Stick to readalongs and only join in short reading challenges!
With this in mind, I'm going to jump in on The Broke and The Bookish's Cocktail Conversation for this week.
What is one book you recommend pretty much across the board -- regardless of genre or what the person normally reads?
Lately, my go-to recommendation has been Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty.
It's easy to read, fun, clever, genuine and suitable for young, old, male, female and everyone inbetween!
But as of this week, I will be recommending The Midnight Watch by David Dyer to everyone I can reach.
I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't be intrigued by the mystery at the heart of this story about human frailty and the Titanic.
What's your favourite book to recommend to others?
Finally, this week's shout-out is purely and simply all about self-promotion.
I edit the History, Memoir, Biography category of the Australian Women Writer's Challenge. This link is to my 2015 wrap-up post.
Happy Reading!

Also struggling to complete 'Christmas in Summer' challenge and am glad to hear I am not alone.
11/17 is my status at the moment. I balked at the end of December and end of January. Perhaps for a 'short' challenge you can choose one 'Christmas-sy' word next year without too many 'H' and 'N' letters! I think I can manage one more book for the challenge! I would recommend a book written by French writer but is translated into English: Nothing Holds Back the Night by Delphine de Vigan. One of the best selling writers in France today.The Midnight Watch does sound very interesting! Sadly I didn't like The Husband's Secret as much as others did.
ReplyDeleteRepliesBig Little Lies is definitely Moriarty's best so far, although I have enjoyed her others one as well, just not as much. They're great holiday reads and great inbetween books when reading heavier, more intense books like the Neapolitan series.
I think The Midnight Watch will have a very wide appeal.
Glad I didn't go straight to book 3 of Neapolitan Quartet then (but I did read the first chapter). The books are super intense and I have a feeling that I'm going to want to kick Nino some time!
I can't wait for The Midnight Watch! Otherwise I'm still recommending A Little Life to all and sundry.
I love hearing from you but I understand that blogger can be a frustrating experience for many.

Meet Mistress T. She's a highly sought-after internationally renown dominatrix. She's got many specialties all showing dudes and does who's the fucking boss. So, one evening we sat down and did some q/a. It turns out that she had discovered my work in a prominent 'femdom' blog. The site featured this piece. They had interpreted the scenario as a cuckholding thing and thought it was technically pretty on point. My thoughts were "what the fuck is cuckolding? I was aiming more for the awkward third wheel kinda thing with alot of drugs". I'll let you research the topic so you can formulate you're own opinion. Anyway, this was my chance to find some interesting angles to conceptualize some elements in the piece. Traceys got alot to say and nothing to hold back. Weird right? She was really engaged in the ideation process and gave me full creative control over the project. I had alot of shit to work with and gave it a week til I returned for the reference shoot.
Some of the beginning collage bits.
Always to remember to coat both surfaces before you drop it in. Thank me later for that juicy nugget.
Pieces are in place and a flat pour is added at the end with pouring medium. This is the last surface prep technique I dropped before rendering.
Painting her I used mainly alla prima techniques. You can see how I'd block in basic temperatures and later add a complement to make it a skin tone. By laying down these basic colours first I knew which tertiary to shift my skin tone towards. Doing this made things go very fast and it felt mad fluid.
Probably the least personally-favourable parts in this was painting that tiny freaking face. Cost about 3.5 hours and later, a bottle of Jack. Tracey just came by this afternoon to check things out and make sure I didn't get carried away. I'm happy to report she was jazzed about everything and especially that tiny little portrait. This makes for one of the best commission-based pieces, in that I had full control over it, was given full trust and our final consultation didn't have lofty retouching requests (those are the worst).
