Rachel Maddow video: A presidency of historic consequence

A presidency of historic consequence

Rachel Maddow lays out the accomplishments of President Barack Obama over the four years of his presidency and laments the fact that the 2012 presidential campaign, for all of its length and contentiousness, has completely ignored assessing President Obama's actual record and achievements and focused instead on things he never actually did.

Chilhowee soaring notes

Sarah:
Blanik L-23 pre-flight:
* DO open the inspection plate
* Check under the strip

On landing turns, feel just a little pressure on the high wing rudder, almost a slip.
All control input should be smooth.
When landing north, line up on the cones to avoid the staged gliders.  Once past the gliders, rudder over (like boxing the wake) to get on center.

Stall:
Once nose is high, make wing-level corrections with rudder, not aileron.
Accelerated stall: Start a gentle turn, bring nose up, keep attitude with rudder.

Boxing the wake: the correct "low tow" view puts the tow plane stabilizer just about level with its wings.

Slack is never a problem.  Being too high is.  Keep the tow pilot safe.

Look past the nose.  Keep the distance to the horizon the same, make small corrections.

Set airspeed by the look of the nose to the horizon.  To change a control, use feel.  Keep looking out.
Turns in the pattern:  rudder IN, then NEUTRAL, then GUARD with other rudder.

Wheel brake:  let off at the very end.

Evening flight with Sarah in 2-33: Thermal over the ridge
Any time the stick moves, pull it with feet. Let go.
Pull the stick with your feet.
Hold nose attitude, thermal holding bank steady.

Once you have a plan, it's better.

For transition pilots:   Don't flare, dive brakes may seem backwards.
Graham and Jeanie:
traffic pattern: If you're low, don't think (what?)
Ka-21 trainer stands for Kaiser  ASK-21 also stands for Alex Kaiser, engineer. German specs are all the same.

"Landing in this kind of weather (107º), beware lift off of hot blacktop.  Come in with no spoilers. (? did I write this wro?)

Anne:  Recreational Aviation Foundation" is a group that keeps airstrips open. Anne is a member.   Also "Flying Musicians"?
=======================
Gerry: Thermals tend to be small and close together, or larger and far apart.  It's usually kind of standard for the day.

If it's found on the north end of the cloud, then they'll all be on the north end.
Turn toward the lifted wing.
  Gerry Whitson "Awesome tow pilot."
=======================


Sign:   GLIDER PILOTS ARE REAL PILOTS.
ALL THE REST ARE AIRPLANE DRIVERS.

Wolf:
From 1000 ft, need 500 to turn base.  300 to turn final.

Granddog likes apples, too. First it was a ball, then he figured out what it was for.

Plus a pie for Frank to take to work. Nice domestic day in the kitchen with the doors open to the winds and good music playing.

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.
I don't know why she swallowed the fly...perhaps she'll die.

(Don't go any further. Save the rest for tomorrow. One day at a time. Wait for it...)

The flip side. Note to self: lower heat as soon as pancake is added, run under broiler as soon as apple aroma emerges. Need more practice. Need someone to eat half of this.

Thought of the day: density altitude

Density altitude equals the length of the runway you need to take off.

lights during taxi

In section 4-3-23, Use of Aircraft Lights, paragraphs (c), (e), (f) and (g) describe the use of lights while on an airport. We invite you to go to the AIM and read each of these paragraphs. For example, paragraph (e) states,

Prior to commencing taxi, it is recommended to turn on navigation, position, anti­-collision, and logo lights (if equipped). To signal intent to other pilots, consider turning on the taxi light when the aircraft is moving or intending to move on the ground, and turning it off when stopped or yielding to other ground traffic. Strobe lights should not be illuminated during taxi if they will adversely affect the vision of other pilots or ground personnel.

Furthermore, the use of your transponder while taxiing is recommended in paragraph 4-1-20. It says, in part,

Civil and military transponders should be turned to the “on" or normal altitude reporting position prior to moving on the airport surface to ensure the aircraft is visible to ATC surveillance systems.

A round meal.

Can we say "vegetables?" Apple pie for dessert, of course.

Apple pie! I am definitely out of practice. Good thing there are still lots of apples. And more in Shelbyville.

No apples...yet.

Celebration of Life

Caregiving expert Patricia Smith on planning a celebration of life for a terminally ill loved one.

- Thinkstock

by Patricia Smith

QUESTION: My husband’s sister, Janine, has ovarian cancer and is not expected to live beyond three months. She is still mobile and seems to want to enjoy as much of life as she can. With that in mind, I invited Janine, two other siblings and three nieces and nephews to be houseguests for three days for some quality of time together, sort of a celebration of life. They have all accepted and now I’m wondering how to go about planning such a weekend. I know Janine tires easily, but several of the guests are young and full of energy. What do you suggest for activities for this very special, but very sad, occasion?—Helena

ANSWER: You are very kind to host this celebration of life that promises to hold many wonderful memories in the years to come. My first thought: Build in a number of options and choices for your guests. Weather permitting, plan a number of outdoor activities. Fresh air will energize and create a healthy environment for both Janine and her guests. If you have a lawn, set up a bocce ball or croquet set. This will allow Janine the choice to play, or sit and enjoy watching others. If there is a seashore, lake, river, bay or even a running stream nearby, plan a picnic lunch one of the days. Again, water offers everyone choices—swimming, wading, body surfing, sand castle building, or enjoying the sunshine. Keep menus simple and healthy. Go continental style for breakfast with juice, fresh coffee, tea, bran muffins, fruit, yogurt and granola. Most guests welcome lunch buffets with sandwich fixings, salads and fruit. Do you know Janine’s favorite dessert? If so, either prepare or purchase the sweets at a local bakery. She will appreciate the effort. If you can accommodate everyone at your dining room table, choose to serve dinners family-style. Casual dining provides an atmosphere where good conversation can take place. Welcome lazy afternoons where nothing is planned. Build in some time for Janine to nap or rest. Your guests can rest as well, or choose to take a walk, a drive or even go to a movie. Keep plans very flexible, take everyone’s wishes into consideration, and both Janine and her guests will have a visit to remember.
