(CNN) - More Americans think that marijuana should be legalized than those who want it kept illegal, according to a new poll.
According to the Gallup poll, 58% say that pot should be legalized, the first time in Gallup polling that a clear majority favor the move. Thirty-nine percent oppose legalization.
The 58% in favor of legalization is far removed from the 12% who said the same thing when Gallup first started asking in 1969, and it's up 10 percentage points since last November. The increase comes after a slight dip from when those supporting legalization first hit half the survey population, 50%, in 2011.
CNN's Sanjay Gupta: Why I changed my mind on weed
The survey attributes much of the pro-marijuana momentum to public referendums last year in Colorado and Washington state that made pot legal. Among those surveyed, 38% admitted to having tried the drug themselves.
Attorney General Eric Holder has said the Department of Justice will not seek to block the Colorado and Washington laws.
Federal enforcement of marijuana laws in the so-called "War on Drugs" has declined under the Obama administration. Justice has issued guidelines to federal prosecutors telling them to no longer pursue mandatory-minimum sentences against low-level nonviolent drug offenders.
Most support for legalization comes from Democrats, 65%, and Independents, 62%. About one in three Republicans, 35%, agreed. The younger the respondent, the more likely they were to favor legalization: 67% for 18 to 29 year-olds compared to 62% for those 30 to 49. and 56% for those between 50 and 64. Only those 65 and older reported less than half in favor of legalizing marijuana, at 45%.
The Gallup poll was conducted October 3-6, with 1,208 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus four percentage points.

The TEA PARTY IS THE MODERN DAY KLU KLUX CLAN
Racists to the core....little between their years
Less educated !!!!
But good news...the klan will win elections only in the mid west and deep south...the states that are struggling
Absolutely on the money...the tea party is the klu klux clan
Tax what?
Its a weed, it grows like a weed, and will grow just about anywhere.
Its not like tobacco, throw a few seed out back (used to use my neighbors backyard) and come back in a month, pull off the leaves/buds, dry it on the oven and have at it.
Legalization will not bring in more tax revenue, it will result in an increase in home growers, junk-food profits, and introduce a nasty stench in most neighborhoods during growing season.
Wait a minute, don`t we hate smoking? Isn`t second hand smoke so awful? One joint is equal to one pack of cigs. with regards to damage to your body. Most pot out on the streets is full of mercury. I personally think pot is the same as drinking and smoking combined, but lets be honest.. pot is not some harmless drug that just makes giggle and eat junk food.
What have YOU been smoking? Where did you even get that 1 joint is equal to a pack of cigs? Its actually less harmful than cigarettes. Its the chemicals added to nicotine, particularly in the filters, that make them so dangerous. There are no such chemicals on weed, and no one sells any with chemicals on it, if they want to keep customers. The only mercury found in weed might come from the ground on which it grew, which is the same as saying there is mercury in corn; therefore, we shouldn't eat it.
Once again, if you don't like it, don't do it. Criminalizing it has been a worthless exercise–remember, it was legal/leegit for thousands of years until the forces of prohibition started one of their dumb dances a hundred years ago.
If you have ever taken a couple of bull hits off of a joint you know how LOADED you were and in a la la land! Higher than a Giraffes a&^, can you imagine over half our society in that state of mind 24/7? Half the nation walking around in a TRANCE! STONED!

Cooper, Peter
Peter Cooper, 1791–1883, American inventor, industrialist, and philanthropist, b. New York City. After achieving success in the glue business, Cooper, with two partners, erected (1829) the Canton Iron Works in Baltimore. There he constructed the Tom Thumb, one of the earliest locomotives built in the United States. His success in trials on the Baltimore & Ohio RR probably saved that pioneer line from bankruptcy.
During the next 20 years, Cooper expanded his holdings, becoming a leader in the American iron industry, and in 1870 he was awarded the Bessemer gold medal for rolling the first iron for fireproof buildings. Cooper invented and patented other practical devices and processes. His faith in the success of the Atlantic cable led him to invest heavily in the New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company after banks refused to finance the operation. He was president of this company for 20 years while he headed the North American Telegraph Company, which controlled more than half of the telegraph lines in the country.
An outstanding leader in the civic affairs of New York City, Cooper led the successful fight to secure a public school system and did much to improve several of the municipal departments. His lasting monument is Cooper Union in New York City, built after his own plans to provide for education for the working classes. He supported the Greenback party in national politics, and in 1876 he was the party's presidential candidate, polling over 80,000 votes. Many of his addresses were collected in Ideas for a Science of Good Government (1883, repr. 1971). Abram S. Hewitt was his son-in-law, Peter Cooper Hewitt his grandson.
See biographies by R. W. Raymond (1901), A. Nevins (1935, repr. 1967), and E. C. Mack (1949).

Could not be easier. Combine equal parts of these three ingredients and slather the mixture onto beef, chicken, or pork. Marinate for at least 1 hour before cooking.
1/4 cup barbecue sauce + 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce + 1/4 cup brown sugar
pleaseeee tell me your book will include recipes??? this looks awesome!
Simple and delicious – I love the combination of bbq sauce and terriyaki! I was planning to do kabobs this weekend – will be giving this a try. Thanks for sharing!
This does look easy! BTW: How do you calculate calories for the marinaded meat? Does most of it just get cooked off?
How timely! We are doing steak kabobs this weekend. This marinade will be perfect!
You have such a gift, such a talent for perfectly describing and capturing images that make my mouth drool!
I used to think salads were the most boring thing on this planet until you made them come alive!
I hope you know how talented you are. The very first thing I do each day when I come into work is click on your site. You make my day :) Don't ever change, you're perfect just the way you are!
What cut of meat is that? Looks so good. This may be on the mothers day menu!
I miss Market Basket =[
Don't you worry about the sodium level in the teriyaki??
Umm..is it lunch time yet? That looks amazing!!!
What kind of meat is that and how did you cook it?
Yum. Damn, now I wish I had picked up some beef at the store yesterday! Curses.
What a great marinade, it sounds delicious!!! What cut of meat and how did you cook it, please?? Thanks for sharing!!!
I love easy! And yummy! Perfect combination. Will try on the grill this weekend. Thanks!
I enjoy this because I actually own all the necessary things… And soy sauce in anything just makes it that much more flavorful!
And well done on making raw meat look appetising, not always an easy task in photography!
this post just made me crave steak at 8:55am. not sure that's ever happened before haha. YUMMMM!
Your ginger marinade is still my forever favorite :)
Can not wait to try this! Btw, I'm a new reader, just catching up. I have to say this is the best written and illustrated fitness/weight loss blog I have come across. A tip of my cyber-hat to you.
What a great simple combo! Can't wait to try it out!
Looks yummy. Love how the meat caramelizes with marinates like this – will add this to my recipe list :)
my husband will love this! he's always looking for simple marinades that dont come from a bottle!!
This looks so delicious and so easy — it looks like something even *I* could make (and I can't make much)! Thank you for sharing this with us!
You saved my butt with this recipe this morning! I had to marinate some steaks for a bbq with friends for tonight, but I also had to race around and get ready for work! Dumped all these ingredients together and am letting the steaks sit in the fridge today. I think it'll be very yummy!
I'm marinating some drumettes right now. Can't wait to taste how they turn out! What cut of beef is pictured below. I need to buy some of that! Thanks for sharing. Love your blog and your love of a good bakery cake from the Northeast. Can't beat it.

Join the Projects Abroad football team in Peru
Volunteers on Teaching, Care & Community or Spanish placements in the Peruvian Sacred Valley have the chance to join the Projects Abroad football team during their stay.
Chadi Moussa, a recent volunteer in Peru on a Spanish placement tells us about his involvement:
'Without a doubt, for me, one of the highlights of my whole 'Peru experience' was being part of the Projects Abroad football team. Aside from being entered into a regional league in Cusco's Sacred Valley and playing amongst some breath-taking scenery, the team also provided an excellent opportunity to integrate with other volunteers and the locals. Although there was certainly a competitive edge to the football, the inclusion of staff within the team, the presence of host-families and supportive volunteers, ensured that the games provided a fantastic social event, often ending in a few celebratory drinks. Apart from being extremely enjoyable, the season proved to be quite successful. The team of 2005 certainly made a name for itself, especially in the local town and with the local radio station, whose presence at every game became a good PR exercise. All-in-all a very memorable time, adding to what was a wonderful experience.'
Assistant Manager, Joanna King added:
'It was all round good fun! It was not only an opportunity for volunteers to socially interact in another environment other than that of the classroom or work place, but also a chance to show our willingness as part of an organisation to interact with the locals. Football is a way of crossing huge cultural divides and can be a really good connection point for people of all nationalities within Projects Abroad or not.'

Fix bug #375757 - Use initramfs abbreviation, not initrd
#369841, initrd is in initial RAM disk, not a root disk Thanks to swift for a patch.
release time. note that since this is beta1, the release dir and stage/media names have been adjusted accordingly. also, the handbooks are marked with a disclaimer=draft, so once the final is out, that will be removed and the release names adjusted. in the mean time, these are live. the beta is officially released. no, it's not april fools, but it is april 1st. :)
Name of first menu item changed in make menuconfig
looks like modprobe -l will only work for the running kernel, not for the kernel just compiled. fixed in all handbooks, bug 188250
2.6 kernels use .ko; 2.4 kernels (which are unsupported) use .o; fixed for all handbooks. no revbump either as it's basically a typo fix at this point.
use a simple modprobe -l command, bug 187000
seems the previous fix was made a little too quickly? reverting previous change.
for safety's sake, needed to move the conf.d/clock TIMEZONE edit to immediately before compiling a kernel. users still run into the warning message if it's left at the end, before rebooting. fixes http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-560322.html and other reports.

Melissa Rycroft Discusses Winning the DWTS Title, Dance Experience, And More
Melissa Rycroft tells Pegasus News that she and Tony thought for sure Shawn and Derek had won Dancing With The Stars last week. They both had to take a minute and think "Is this really happening? Did this really just happen?" She discusses more about winning the title at the link, but, I thought this take was interesting about why she did the show for a second time. She also discusses "dance experience" and if that can help or hurt a person on Dancing With The Stars. See if you agree as I think she makes a great point. Just because a person has dance experience means that someone will win this show and it's not just as hard and challenging for them. How many times has Heidi told us that?!
This was your second time on the show; why did you decide to compete again?
It took me a little bit to make the decision, because Season 8 for me was such a highlight. It was perfect — the stars aligned, and I knew at the time I was coming off of all The Bachelor hoopla, and so in my mind that was kind of what propelled me to the finals … I was hesitant coming in to the all-star season because I didn't have that anymore. [I asked myself], what if I don't have the audience behind me now, now that I don't have the drama and this experience that was so magical just ends on a dead note? Ultimately, I went, "This was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and if you have the opportunity to do something like that again, why wouldn't you?" So I just said let's do it.
Do you think your dance background helped you at all?
I wish dance experience helped you on the show … you've got the athletes that are trained to perfect themselves … you've got the actors who can emotionally get into character, and then you have the musicians who can hear music in ways that other people can't hear it. Sometimes in the competition, that can actually hurt you. You can overdo it, your body may not react the way it should, and that's what I experienced … from dancing with the [Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders] … everything that I had known from that was wrong in ballroom, and it hindered that. Tony actually had to erase what I knew because I wasn't coming in as a blank slate.
Heidi: This is a classy, classy girl. Tony take note. This was my favorite part of the interview:
In Season 8, you were edged out of the top spot by Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson. How does it feel to come back in Season 15 and beat her?
As much as everybody would love it, there was no competition between Shawn and I. Shawn and I were actually very good friends this time around. We pushed each other; we picked each other back up. I'll be honest I was happy to make it to the finals. The three woman that made it, to me — we were all winners walking in on Monday night to have accomplished what we did. To come out on top is an unbelievable feeling. Like I said, it still hasn't sunk in, and I don't look at it as "You beat an individual person" or "There was one group we were after." It's just it was amazing to be standing at the end of the competition as talented as this one was.
She had the right attitude, for sure. I'm thinking she was raised right. 🙂 She is right on target about the dance experience debate – the only thing I would add is that, while it can be a disadvantage, she's not the only person who has that disadvantage. She frames it like "all these other people have these great qualities while I have dance experience which is actually a disadvantage." I know what she's saying, but that's a tad simplistic. EVERYONE has an advantage of some kind, and I think that the only one that is greater than the others is likely youth. Of course, dance experience, being an athlete, being an actor – all those are going to have more advantage than, say, a stand up comic or a model. But Melissa falls into neither of those latter categories. Everyone also has a disadvantage, just like she did. Shawn had to work on her emotional connection, Kelly was so shakey a lot of the time, Apolo…well, I can't think of any Apolo flaws, but that's probably just me. 😉

The only authoritative comments can come from StataCorp, but it can be
fun to speculate. I suspect that this is not an oversight. Many
models are estimated using the common machinery of -ml-, and they
could get most of the work done by changing -ml-. -qreg- seems to have
its own build-in maximization algorithm, which does not surprise me as
it is a maximization problem with its own peculiar set of
difficulties. So it is a lot more work to implement it. It may be that
they are were working on a more general overhaul of -qreg- and did not
get that ready for the Stata 12 release, and thus decided to keep
- -qreg- as it is for now. Alternatively, it may just have been lower on
their list of priorities.

Analysis For the last twenty-four hours or so the news has been full of beached dolphins, following incidents since Monday near Falmouth in which more than 70 of the marine mammals got into trouble and reportedly up to 30 have died.
Various theories have been advanced for the mass stranding, the largest seen in Britain for a quarter-century. Dolphin beaching incidents are very rare, significantly more so than similar occurrences involving whales.
Increasingly commonly in recent times, cetacean strandings of any sort tend to be blamed on naval sonars. Navies have been "pinging" sound pulses into the water and listening for the echoes en masse since the late 1930s in order to detect submarines, ships and mines, but it is only in the last ten years or so that people have started to link sonar use and cetacean beachings.
Those knowledgeable in the field of sonar theorise that this might be because it is only in recent times that low-frequency active equipment has become common. Until the early 1990s, the prevailing fashion in long-range detection was for the use of "passive" kit, which would not ping sound into the water but merely listen for noises emitted by the enemy ship or sub.
In the last decade or so, however, newer subs and warships have become so quiet that they can seldom be heard by just listening. Nowadays, the trend in long-range scanning is for low-frequency, far-travelling active pings. The Royal Navy's new Sonar 2087, just coming into service, is of this type. Other nations have been using such gear for a while.
When close to an enemy, in the thick of an anti-submarine fight, ships and helicopters will also use mid-frequency active kit to get a more precise fix for targeting. Higher, even shorter-ranging frequencies are used by minehunting ships or survey vessels needing a high-resolution picture of the sea bed.
Mid-frequency and high-frequency kit has been in use since World War II, so if these have anything to do with cetacean strandings people have certainly taken a long time to notice it. In particular, the Royal Navy has been using gear like this off the Cornish coast time out of mind - these are some of the busiest exercise areas in British waters.
With respect to the recent beaching, the navy has confirmed that none of the new low-frequency gear was in use - and no live munitions had been fired since last week. (Though again, live weapons have been fired routinely forever without any link to strandings.)
"Royal Navy vessels have not used low frequency sonar anywhere in the South West areas," a spokesman told the Beeb.
"A survey vessel was conducting trials using a high definition, short range side scan sonar for sea bed mapping trials approximately 12 nautical miles off the coast of Falmouth at the time of the incident."
Sidescan survey gear is and has been widely used worldwide for decades, and not just by navies. The idea that low-frequency active has something to do with strandings in general is at least believable - the idea that sidescan lay behind this incident is ridiculous.
Anyway, if you really like dolphins - and hey, what's not to like?* - there are much more serious things to worry about. Reputable sources indicate that fishing nets kill a thousand marine mammals a day, which rather puts this Cornish business into context. If you want to help cetaceans, pick on fishermen - not navies.
And seriously, UK media people, with all your sonar-kills-dolphins headlines this week. It would be a good idea to pull your head out of the dark for a look round once in a while. ®
*Unless you're a fisherman. Or perhaps a porpoise - apparently dolphins aren't very nice to their smaller relatives.

Planned airlift would've required two icebreakers to be near each other in open water. Expedition may wait for US icebreaker, the Polar Star traveling from Seattle (parag. 7):
12/31/13, "Rescue for Antarctic ice-bound ship under threat," BBC
"A rescue mission for a ship stuck in ice in Antarctica is under threat as reports have emerged that one of the assisting vessels may itself be stuck.
However, the Xue Long has barely moved in a day and may be stuck in the ice.
The research vessel Akademik Shokalskiy has been trapped for nearly a week with 74 scientists, tourists and crew.
The ship is stocked with food and is in no danger, the team on board says.
The planned air evacuation required that the two icebreakers in the immediate area - the Xue Long and the Australian Aurora Australis - be positioned close to each other in open water, clear of the pack ice.
However, the captain of the Xue Long has told the Shokalskiy that he is keeping his vessel in a "holding position".
The Aurora Australis, is now understood to be planning to carve through the dense thick pack to assist the Xue Long.
The initial plan had been for a helicopter from the Xue Long to carry people in groups of 15 up from the pack ice next to the Shokalskiy.
The airlifted passengers would then be transferred by a small boat, deployed from the Australian icebreaker, onto the Aurora Australis.
The expedition members would then have travelled to Australia's Antarctic base at Casey some four days' voyage away.
However, if the Chinese vessel is also stuck and the Australian vessel cannot help it reach clear water, there will be no airlift.
Under the initial plan, the remaining crew members would have stayed on board until another, more powerful US icebreaker arrived in up to 10 days' time, the BBC's Andrew Luck-Baker reports from on board the Akademik Shokalskiy.
However, it may now be that all of those on board may have to wait for the US icebreaker, the Polar Star, he adds.
Earlier attempts by Chinese and French icebreakers to reach the ship were also foiled by the thick ice.
The Shokalskiy was trapped on Christmas Eve by thick sheets of ice, driven by strong winds, about 1,500 nautical miles south of Hobart - the capital of the Australian state of Tasmania."
Reference for US icebreaker traveling from Seattle:
12/30/13, "Antarctic rescue mission fails to reach trapped ship," UK Guardian, Alok Jha
"Another option for rescue lays with the huge American icebreaker, the Polar Star, which is currently en route to the Ross Sea from Seattle. It had been due to travel via Sydney but it has now been ordered to sail directly to its final destination. If it was called upon to assist in the rescue effort, it could get to the sea ice edge near the Shokalskiy in eight or nine days.
There is no fixed timeline for the next steps, said Turney, while the captains of the Shokalskiy, Aurora Australis and the Xue Long waited for good weather. The forecast for the next few days, however, looks like there will be more of the same: snow, wind and heavy cloud.
AAE glaciologists on board the Shokalskiy, meanwhile, have been examining satellite images of the ice build-up over the past week to try and understand why the Shokalskiy got stuck.
"It's remarkable just how much change there's been," said Turney. "The ice that's packed around us is many years old, some is more than 10 years old."
The multi-year sea ice surrounding the Shokalskiy is much thicker and stronger than the new, first-year sea ice because it has had years of snowfall on top and freezing underneath.
According to the satellite maps, this ice was on the east side of the Mertz glacier until this past week, stuck fast to the land. Possibly because of a storm, or some other weather factor, this "fast ice" broke off and was blown into the area in which the Shokalskiy was sailing. Multi-year ice is a lot more difficult to cut through than single-year ice, which was the sort of material the Shokalskiy came through on its way into Antarctica....
The fast ice was partly in the area because of the huge iceberg, B09B. This broke away from the Antarctic continent in 2010, collided with and snapped off the extended part of the Mertz glacier, and then grounded itself in the entrance to Commonwealth Bay. Since then, the sea ice that would normally have formed and blown out to sea has instead been blocked by B09B and frozen into place. Given the recent reorganisation of the ice around the Mertz glacier, glaciologists aboard the Shokalskiy think the ship might have become inadvertently caught in the formation of a new area of fast ice, which could stay in place for several years.
When it got stuck last week, the Shokalskiy was just over two weeks into its month-long journey, from Bluff in New Zealand to Commonwealth Bay in East Antarctica."...

About Motion Sickness
Just about anyone can get motion sickness—even astronauts get it. Children ages 2 to 12 very easily get motion sickness, while infants and toddlers seem relatively immune. But for everybody else, the sense of motion, whether from riding in a car, boat, airplane, (or space shuttle) brings on those queasy feelings. Motion sickness comes on quickly, but quiets down when the motion stops. Still, if you're prone to it, you can be in for an unpleasant ride.
People tend to get motion sickness on a moving boat, train, plane, or car, but it's also possible to get it when watching a moving scene on the big screen. Some people can get nauseous even thinking about take-off on a plane or boat.
Motion sickness happens when the inner ear, the eyes, and the deeper tissues of the body's surface, called proprioceptors (pronounced proh-pree-uh-sep-ters), send conflicting signals to the brain. The signals don't get scrambled, though, when we walk, or move our bodies on our own.
But when we're moving in a car, boat, or plane, the signals received by the eyes or the proprioceptors don't match with those transmitted by the inner ear. And our sense of balance is thrown off.
Motion sickness is awful to go through, though for as horrible as it may feel, it's usually a temporary, minor problem. However, if you travel frequently, it can be a big problem.
The most common symptoms of motion sickness include:
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Sweating
- Vomiting
- Headache
- Fatigue
There are medications and some preventive measures you can take to treat motion sickness. Some even believe that continually exposing yourself to motions that bring on motion sickness will help you get over it. But if you're like most people, that idea may not have a lot of appeal. If you do choose to take a medication, remember to take it before you travel, because once motion sickness starts, it's hard to bring under control.
Medication and non-medication treatments for motion sickness include:
- Antiemetics—such as Bonine® once daily travel tablet—are over-the-counter medications that help relieve nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness.
- A patch for motion sickness is also available. It contains another type of active ingredient.
- Acupressure bracelets, some of which contain magnets, may help in the same way as acupuncture—putting pressure on certain points of the body.
- Ginger, a traditional remedy for nausea, may help with motion sickness. However, some people find it has no benefit.
- Peppermint is another herb that may help.

Here we have an "infinity" arrangement LED clock kit. This time, it comes with a board. And WHAT a board! Astound your friends! Confuse your cat! Stare at it and have no idea what time it is for 15 seconds until you figure out where the minutes/seconds "00" and the hour "12" are and which way it's going! Sure, I could call it a figure 8 but I'm calling it an infinity. Besides, the printing on it is upside right if the 8 is on its side. The hours are a concentric infinity that runs just inside the more densely packed infinity. They are the clear, circular ultra-bright LEDs. Note, ultra-bright LEDs are NOT included with this kit, that is just in my demonstration piece in the picture, you get just the regular red and green LEDs like the other LEDs in the picture (which are sold on their own on the website here). The 2 septagons of LEDs on the inside are the days of the week, and LEDs that let you know what you're setting, and the centers of those have "AM" and "PM". 2 more LEDs are thrown in there to let you know if the alarm is set to go off, and ask you if you want to store the date and update for DST/ST transitions. It is the same type of clock which is shown here, it's just that this time it comes with an actual board! What a time-saver!
Other clock kits with boards (more expensive):
Circular ring (3.9 inch board) (click here)Zig-zag ring (3.9 inch board) (click here)Infinity (1.95 x 3.9 inch board) (you are here)Tiny 5 cm square ring (1.95 inch board) (click here)Dice clock (1.95 x 3.9 inch board) (click here)
Other clock kits without boards (less expensive, but in some ways better because the board is less personal and rather small):
The same type of clock as this but without the green board (click here)The dice clock (click here)
The green board you see there is a rectangle which is 3.9 inches on one side and 1.95 on the other. Click on the picture to see it big, and use the left and right arrow keys to move around.
First of all, I want to make 3 things clear:
1. You are not buying the clock in the picture. That one is my demonstration piece. It took me too long to solder together for me to throw around that with a 20 or even 30 dollar pricetag. That would be half minimum wage or less. It took long enough just to get the components together to make the kit.2. You are buying a kit. You get 91 LEDs (one spare), a programmed microcontroller, resistors, capacitors, a crystal, a speaker, etcetera, a circuit board, and an information sheet on specifics you'll need to get it right. This does NOT include a power supply. You need to give it 6.3 to 12 volts DC from somewhere. You also need a soldering iron and solder.3. The kit does not contain ultra-bright brightly colored LEDs as seen in the picture. You get generic red and green LEDs, which again are sold on their own on the website here.
A demonstration of the version of this clock with the alarm can be seen here (make sure to be patient when downloading this, and make sure to have some kind of pop-up ad killer in place: mediafire will definitely zap you if you don't):
To see a demonstration of not this version of the clock but the version without the alarm (not the kind for sale here) which also flashes all its LEDs 11 times per second (also unlike the kind for sale here), watch this:
It is not only a clock but a calendar too. You give it the year modulo 4, the month, the day in month, the day in week, hour, minute, second. Press one of the 2 buttons to get it to show you the date (the 5th picture shows this - it displays the date March 1 - today as of when I wrote this), where the 12 hours represent the month and the minutes/seconds represents the day in the month. The figure-infinity of 60 LEDs shows you the minutes AND the seconds. The seconds flash. Also they advance one per second. It also automatically adjusts for daylight saving time as it is right now in the US. So beware if you're in a place that doesn't do daylight/standard transitions or does it at a different time. The alarm can be set to any time down to the second, and can be enabled for any combination of days of the week. So if you want it to just go off on weekdays you can do that. Or if you want it to only be on Saturday, you can do that. The alarm is set by holding down the "show date" button and then pressing the set button. If you just press the set button, it sets the clock's real time, not the alarm time.

WACO, Texas (May 12, 2015) – May is National Electrical Safety Month, and Mr. Electric wants homeowners to know the importance of childproof outlets in the home.
More than 2,400 children suffer shocks and burns related to electrical outlets every year. Mr. Electric explains why installing tamper-resistant receptacles is an important step homeowners should take to increase safety in the home during National Electrical Safety Month.
Tamper-resistant receptacles
Tamper-resistant receptacles, also known as childproof outlets, look almost exactly the same as regular outlets, except the receptacle's cover plate, which closes off the contact openings. The plug should be inserted with equal pressure on both sides, just as one would normally insert it. The cover plate will then slide out of place in order for the plug to secure.
"This cover does not allow anything to get to the contacts when unequal pressure is applied," said Craig Gjelsten, vice president of Mr. Electric. "Even homeowners without children should consider upgrading their outlets, because the possibility of shock or burns is not limited to a child's own home."
The 2008 National Electric Code requires all new and renovated homes to include tamper-resistant receptacles to be installed.
The tamper-resistant outlet upgrade to the home is an important step to ensuring safety in the home, helping to prevent accidents. Tamper-resistant receptacles help prevent electrical burns, shock and severe, or even fatal, injuries.
"Children are susceptible to accidents caused by common household objects such as keys, hairpins, staples, silverware, jewelry and more," said Gjelsten. "Nearly one-third of accidents occur when a child has inserted items such as these into a receptacle."

Kids Jeans
Urban Children's JeansGrown-ups like to wear jeans because they are stylish and robust. At least two reasons for boys and girls to benefit from great denims. When children start to conquer the world, they have to have a strong and also reliable outfit for their fantastic new urban adventures. On Television and the internet, girls and boys see all the people wearing jeans and the big stars of hip hop or skaters wearing baggy style pants. We grew up with this culture and are now offering modern boys baggy jeans in different styles that of course are also great for girls. Some of them are just like the adult versions, some have special playful patterns especially for child's jeans. There is also so much more when it comes to kids clothing. You want your girls and boys to look neatly? We also got zip hoodies, shoes, caps and further clothing from top brands, not only just kids baggy jeans for a little sunshine. Visiting the grand parents or enjoying quality time together in the park, children also want to look good. And it is not unusual to make photos for Facebook or Instagram. These are special memories that will always be online. Give your child an exceptional outfit to it.
There are no products matching the selection.

The NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) Virtual Planetary Laboratory's research is driven by a single scientific question: "How would we determine if an extrasolar planet were able to support life or had life on it already?" To answer this, the VPL develops and combines scientific models from many disciplines to constrain habitability for newly discovered worlds, like those found by NASA's Kepler mission. We explore the evolution and limits of terrestrial planet habitability via a planet's interaction with its parent star and planetary system environment. We work to identify life's observable impact on a planetary environment for different metabolisms, planetary compositions, and host stars. We calculate the likely detectability of these planetary characteristics in photometry and spectra to be returned by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and future mission concepts, such as LUVOIR and HabEx.
To address our key scientific question, we refine and combine existing VPL planetary, astronomical, and ecosystem models to derive a comprehensive, interdisciplinary characterization of a given planetary environment and its likely history. We use observations, laboratory, and fieldwork from the astronomical, Earth observing, planetary and biological sciences as input to these models. Our effort benefits astrobiology and the NAI with a proven, productive, interdisciplinary science team whose research spans the distribution of habitable worlds, the co-evolution of life with its environment, and the recognition of signatures of life on other worlds. Our research personnel provide both key scientific and technical leadership for current and future NASA missions and engage the public in the excitement of NASA's planet detection and characterization efforts.

Post subject: Better video / filming at the worlds 2006 in Sheffield
The seethegame research included:
* underwater hockey - study the game.
* sport media - study pro camera set up and spectators comfort.
* underwater engineering - making the structures fit the game arena.
All theory from research was completed by 2002 and the concept was pitched......
''Get the game seen by spectators''
It would benefit spectators (thay may see and so share the dynamics of a fast team game). It would benefit the players (they may see how good - or horrendous - their play or the overall team play really is, by watching the replays after a game).
Together, this may just benefit the world
These pages describe the project a little more:
These pages show some of the footage and concept filming attempts:
(new website page design since April08)
Info given to the worlds management:
Early 2003 - concept of research shown to worlds management. Was noted as substantial potential as world system would benefit from advisory capacity. The seethegame project continued on its 'shoestring budget' to continue its aim.
Mid 2005 - worlds management found a production company that had the means to provide equipment and software they thought suitable to cover the media needs of the worlds 2006 underwater games to be held in Sheffield. [This is good... good for quality spectating].
Unfortunately, the worlds management mentioned to the seethegame project that they would be stealing the research and claiming it as their own [This is bad .... and a little parculiar to even mention as had been given information for good of spectators]. End reaction - continue providing info for good of spectator, but distance from social association.
End 2005 - worlds management trialed their interpretation of the video project, but came short on providing the central point - being 'give the spectator a quality view of the game-flow'. Their trials missed out the central and hardest component of the research - being the need for tilt and pan abled primary-cameras, held steady on set-positioned fluent cam-pods. [This is bad... bad as is uncomfortable for the spectator as offers broken fragmented game story].
Early 2006 - seethegame project was approached because the worlds management had just seen the club-play video samples that were achieved (by following the original research concept) and they wwondered which bit they had failed to steal
This help was requested verbally, but the worlds management were encougared to request information on missing concept in writing (a move to pop a little proof into existance - much same effect as popping a little light on and watching 'naughtyness' scuttling for cover).
Following this, the worlds management should have now incorporated supported, tilt and pan Primary Function Cameras in the system to be used to film the underwater hockey 2006 world championships to be held in Ponds Forge Swimming Pool, Sheffield.
These primary cameras and mountings are the key research conclusion to offering a spectator a comfortable view of the game story [
..... and This is good!

Tapeworms stil exist, have survived millenium and unfortunately (unless you are a tapeworm, or friend of such) will survive and flourish present day and future!
Think you have shed light on the presence of such, which is a neccessary thing, and yet still held firm to the concept of the project - encourage good visual revelations about the game.

Information from research, leading to or encouraging better footage being presented to spectators, is the aim of the project - so the improving system set up (from last attempt in Dec) of the world system is a positive outcome.
Having to outwit the odd behaviour and keep the original research in the picture, was deemed worth making a stand.
The latest world system is being tested (and now should be including Primary-Cameras on Pod-Support-Arms) at Ponds Forge, Sheffield, this weekend. It should show an improvement from the December trial.
The two points left to encourage in the worlds-system, if havent incorporated already, is the final key part of an accountable ''sport media'' set up.
1. Would be that the Primary-Cameras should have their own monitors (professional standard camera-operator accountability), so that the operators are continually responsible for the framing of the shots whether or not the producer has selected their camera for main-screen view or not. This would make each camera around the game arena ''framed-shot-ready'' so the ''story of the game'' shold be smooth and fluent for the spectator when the producer switches between cameras through out the game.
2. Would be that the Primary Camera units include facility for operator to adjust telephoto lenses - this would take the spectator a little way across the pool when the game is being played on the far wing - the research thought the spectator would be left 'wanting' and 'waiting' for the play to come closer if this was overseen.
These finer points passed on. It is thought, then that the worlds' spectators in August should have quality visual access to games.

Its good that the worlds have been supplied with good research. This is recorded. What or how they acknowledge is up to them and probably will be accountable now this little project has survived and upheld its own.
Goos show. The spectators in the future will benefit greatly. Aims are therefore sustained. Nice one!

The concept has survived enough to '''be around'' and not be '''squashed'' or '''non- existant'''. This is a big part of producing an innovative concept... in this real competitive world.
To still exist is something many 'concepts' do not succeed at (and their ideas are usually claimed by same type of knicking and claiming name to it the idea). So have done well. Also have done well to actually cause that the worlds filming is made better than was going to be the case - and that is beneficial big-time... which was the aim of seethegame and a worthy one.

Would be more substantial if attacked by sharks or wolves or lions - something with earned respect, but attacked by a tape worm would be such a smarmy and undramatic way to succumb. So dont succumb.
David and Goliath
David and Goliath - would be another cool battle, but it doesnt represent as the opponent has more resemblance to the large side as the Wizard of Oz (apparently large stature, yet behind the facard is wimpy)
Water and Goliath related!!
Its not tape worm (but stil is based on parasitical tendancies). It is Lice - not only do they have an effect (make you feel lousey when feeding off of you) - there is one called Goliath that effects Water foul!
*Holomenopon goliath - it feeds away on the surface of water foul
Water related
Goliath related
The seethegame project shall be known as 'David'!

I consider you have continued the original concept and have acheived successfully. As well as your own venture, you have evolved the worlds system so that the spectator will get a better value of viewing. This will represent the game in better light.
The management who tried to not acknowledge has failed to do this, but have revealed an un-evolved attitude (dont strike me as being clever as have not got away with attempt). Remind me of school boy politics in the house of commons (its frightening to think this skittish behaviour/attitude exists in the 21st century) - it neither represents a 'team' spirit either.
I would think the outcome now is ok - the project is successful, the theory proved true in the ground truthing exercises (including the worlds arena - far more so than would have been).
There will be a number of neat minded people who see through any grand hype of status, and they will note and respect the foundation on which several and many future projects will be built.

Well done.
Innovative work.
Noble conduct.
Think there is enough on record now to act as an anti-body to 'bad-form' management.
Good show - and more to come I hope.

you done noble to give the world spectators a far better view of the game (by making the world camera system conform to a far more professional standard of effort ie make the cameras move to follow and make them steady). This is great for the game.
As for them considering to attempting to claim all the status and qudos, whilst free-loading on your intellectual property - well thats a reflection on their true value of trust v arrogance of self inflated power and an obvious limitation on true intellect.
you done well, with project
you done well, with making the world system better for spectator comfort
you done well, with overall conduct and continuation of project whilst negotiating the
swamp of sucking creatures

It cant be stolen now, so that is a fail. It could be 'not acknowledged' which is 'weakmans jelousy' based on greed and abuse of power of position rather than personal human power.
The research was first used for influenced:
to make sure all cameras in the worlds system were not hand held by floaters or divers - (whereas this is easy to produce, the end result for spectator is amature home movie).
This was heeded.
The research was further used for influence:
to encourage the fact that the primary cameras moved on pan tilt and hopefully telephoto adjustable.
This was heeded.
It is so.

this quote from floater:
The research was first used for influenced:

This was heeded.
The research was further used for influence:
to encourage the fact that the primary cameras moved on pan tilt and hopefully telephoto adjustable.
This was heeded.
The two points are central indeed:
The first was when the whole research was used to advise, in conversation and in good faith, being with a common interest in the sport. This communication could have continued, would have continued, if it wasnt for the extra-ordinary comment from the world video manager before christmas 2005........... after being overheard mentioning the seethegame influence on good system.... but as his own thinking! This was put to him, in which his answer was astonishing......"we steal ideas, thats what we do".
Timing would have it that the seethegame system trials (turning the theory into practice) occured in Dec and proved successful. This was the weekend before Nautilus where the world camera system, to date, were being trialed.
This point in time made clear that the world system had left out the inclusion of the primary cameras (the hardest finding of the seethegame research.... being to have primary cameras that would pan, tilt and so would need a cam-pod set up to include this.
The seethegame trials showed what a great flowing shot of the geame could be had by making the primarys have his function (as seen in the attack section of the club-play video on their website.
This proving led to the encouragement that the worlds system should make the effort and include primary cameras (instead of their static collection) and so the world spectators would be gfiven a better showing of the game flow.
This bit of the research was given to the worlds manager, (for the good of the spectator), only (wisely) this time was given in writing after requesting a written communication from the worlds as a little proof of ''research being offered over for the good of the ens result''. Thw wise move of getting writen communication was thought a good way of still making sure the world spectators got a good view of the sport, whilst elliminating the possible success that the management chap could succeed with the arrogant attitude of thinking it ok to take without acknowledgement (steal as he put it himself).
This allowed the second point of floaters quote to occur.

this is fairly interesting.
this thread is likely way dead, but, briefly...
- worlds did still have major failings... (no birdseye cam, operator stuffups, blindspots, no zooming)
- worlds in 92, however, had a full camera setup with swivels, zooms etc, and was great quality footage. add birdseye as other worlds have done and the handheld cams they had this time, and would be perfect.
- add a ref cam or something, as you have developed, and it would be fantastic.

It was indeed a real shame that even with the bad form of stealing the research, it wasnt stolen with much degree of acuracy..... and the spectator was the one to loose out.
The research for the central camera system (shown in the test shots of ''club play samples'' on the seethegame website video page) included (demanded) that the system needed:
*stabalised pods with pan and tilt capability (to hold the ebb and flow of the game play.
*cameras with zoom capabilities to take the spectator across the pool when the play is on the far side (instead of left ''waiting and wanting'' for the play to come nearer again)
If worked as an honest team it would have turned out a whole lot better for the spectators ( but it seems that this little seethegame project (still to date) does not exist, in their eyes.
We are continuing though and each little progression, we are happy with ( the critter-cam being the latest concept to come off the theory and into a product as a tool to promote underwater hockey.
You mention the 2002 worlds (When I took the finished research drawings to the worlds video manager, he showed me a collection of world games.... they were all hand held cameras with non consequtive shots so the story did not exist...... this was the very thing I had set out to resolve. When I explained this, he mentioned something that newzealand set up and it sounded the proper thing to do (this I beleive is what you refer to...... they had the proffesionalism of using stabalising booms etc, I believe).
Our design was concept for club-play pools (because I have access to them only!) so as the worlds ''opportunity'' here was not able to team up and help bring the research to fruition, we potter on using meger private financed, just so the thing is a living system that we can run when ever poss at club play to collect and sort the good shots that reflect our game in good light.
The three concepts of:
club game play
player interviews
...are now in existance, we are just working on replacing the main cameras (no longer have access to the borrowed ones on the test shots) and to finish the muti recording units)
Then more vids (hopefully will start to influence spectators to 'see' what its about and also encourage the media that it is indeed worthy of attention if filmed as researched).... thats the aim of the project, so behind the scenes (boring bit to target audience of 'general public') am continuing bring the concept into product (painfully, painfully... I might have mention painfully... slow due to: finance, newness of concept to most general public and mupetry from few arrogant managers).
All of which are being overcome as the project is surviving, progressing and even, now is influencing others, hopefully to better the understanding of our game.
Thanks for your input.

Protests ignited by a controversial film that ridicules Islam's Prophet Muhammad spread throughout Muslim world.
A Libyan government militia guarding the main entrance of the U.S. consulate that was attacked last week, fixes a note written by Libyans against the attack, in Benghazi city on Sept. 18. An amateur video appears to show Libyans trying to rescue U.S. ambassador Christopher Stevens from a room filled with smoke at the U.S. mission where he was found unconscious after last week's attack by a mob protesting against a film that denigrates the Prophet Muhammad. The poster on left reads, "No to extremism, no to terrorism in free Libya".

At the consulate where four Americans died security consisted of one U.S. regional security officer and a local militia. Ambassador Chris Stevens often had little personal security detail. NBC's Lisa Myers reports.

Lewis Palmer high school junior Anna Olson heaved this shot almost the entire length of the court in the final moments of the third quarter (though enough time remained to take the ball up court) against Cheyenne Mountain high school in Colorado. Or, she at least tried to heave it the entire length of the court, managing to come up the perfect amount of space short. The ball then bounced up toward the rim, rattled around, hung on the lip for just long enough and then fell in. It's kind of like Tiger on 16 at Augusta, only high school basketball in Colorado.
The video appears to have been uploaded to YouTube by her coach, Joel Babbit, and in the comments he claims the shot was counted as three points. USA Today, however, says it should count as two points, but it's got to be worth way more than that.

A man has been arrested on child cruelty charges after he punished his 16-year-old son by making him carry a 23-pound landscape stone for several miles.
WXIA-TV reports that Charlie Mayes, a 40-year-old military veteran from Douglasville, Georgia told police he wanted to punish his son for watching too many videos and not doing his chores.
Douglasville Police Sgt. Todd Garner told WXIA-TV that the punishment "Was done multiple times over a three-day period, sometimes as early as 3 o'clock in the morning."
Garner said the teenager was also punished in-between the 3-mile hikes by being forced to move rocks from one side of the yard to the other.
A pizza delivery driver alerted police to the teen's punishment walks, one of which was captured in the background of a police dash cam video during an unrelated traffic stop.
Douglasville Police charged Mayes with first-degree child cruelty.

Climate Change Research, Student Sustainability Experiences Showcased at UAlbany
Students and scientists from the ACCION project, including UAlbany Associate Professor Mathias Vuille (front right, wearing blue cap) conducted research this summer in South America on glacier melt.
ALBANY, N.Y. (October 29, 2012) – From tropical glacier melt in the Andes to flood-ravaged New Orleans, changing climate patterns have had a dramatic impact on communities all over the world. Recently, scientists and students at the University at Albany presented "a virtual field trip" to highlight their research and studies on climate change and sustainability.
"Our goal is to heighten campus awareness about the issue of climate change and its impact in other parts of the world through the eyes of our own faculty and students," said Mary Ellen Mallia, director of the Office of Environmental Sustainability at UAlbany.
UAlbany students engaged in service learning experiences all over the world have had a first-person perspective on the effects of climate change. Mallia hopes their experiences inspire other students into action, whether it be a high engagement activity, like joining a service learning trip, or making changes in their daily routines that are more environmentally friendly, and to have a thought provoking dialogue on the importance of undertaking meaningful experiences while travelling.
Highlighting the virtual fieldtrip were slides documenting glacier retreat in the Andes. UAlbany Associate Professor of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences Mathias Vuille shared the slides and described his current project, partnering with the Andean Climate Change Interamerican Observatory Network (ACCION) to conduct capacity building for climate change adaption in South America.
This past summer, Vuille worked in the field discussing various measurement techniques with students and glaciologists from all Andean countries: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. The goal is to study aspects of current and future climate change and glacier retreat in the Andes, which has a direct impact on the water resources of communities throughout the region.
Vuille was accompanied UAlbany Ph.D. Oscar Chimborazo at Tuesday's presentation. Chimborazo, who is originally from Ecuador, came to the U.S. to work with Vuille on the project. Graduate student Juan Sulca from Peru, is also working with Vuille on the ACCION Project. With Vuille's guidance, the students will work on issues related to climate change impacts in their home countries, related to glaciers or water resources.
UAlbany students have also engaged in study abroad opportunities where they have gained greater insight into the global impact of climate change, including:
- Clare Gaffey, a junior at UAlbany from Albany, N.Y., spent spring 2012 semester at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad (DIS) in Copenhagen, Demark. Gaffey also spent time in Greenland, home to 10 percent of the world's total reserves of fresh water through its 1,500-mile long ice sheet. Scientists remained concerned about impact of rising global temperatures on the massive ice sheet, second only to the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
- Elizabeth Maxwell, a junior from Buffalo, N.Y., studied at the Paris-Sorbonne University in France during the spring 2012 semester. Maxwell spent her time learning about environmental sustainability resources abroad.
- Christine Preble, a Ph.D. candidate in cultural anthropology from Clifton Park, N.Y., is conducting dissertation research about the social and economic sustainability of cruise ship mass tourism in Cozumel, Mexico.
- Stephen Oby, Jr., from Niskayuna N.Y., who received his MSW from UAlbany's School of Social Welfare in May 2012, recently completed a service learning experience in New Orleans, which is still dealing with the fallout from Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Group says drilling companies skirt federal law requiring permits for diesel in wells across the country
A new report by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) titled "Drilling Around the Law" indicates that companies drilling for natural gas and oil are skirting federal law and injecting toxic petroleum distillates into thousands of wells, threatening drinking water supplies from New York to Wyoming.
These distillates include kerosene, mineral spirits and a number of other petroleum products that often contain high levels of benzene, a known human carcinogen that is toxic in water. Drillers inject these substances into the earth under extremely high pressure in a process called hydraulic fracturing that energy companies use to extract natural gas and oil from underground formations. The process, known as "fracking," fractures the rock to allow additional gas and oil to flow to the surface. Fracking is currently used in 90% of the nation's natural gas and oil wells.
The petroleum distillates used in a single well could contain enough benzene to contaminate more than 100 billion gallons of drinking water to unsafe levels, according to drilling company disclosures in New York state and published studies. That is more than 10 times as much water as the entire state of New York uses in a single day.
Fracking has already been linked to drinking water contamination and property damage in Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wyoming.
"When companies say that they will not use diesel and then use other petroleum distillates, it's a bit like promising not to smoke Marlboros and then lighting up a Camel," said EWG Senior Counsel Dusty Horwitt. "As far as the toxic components, the products are at least as dangerous."
Other petroleum distillates typically contain the same highly toxic chemicals as diesel: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene. Distillates disclosed in records analyzed by EWG have been found to contain up to 93 times more benzene than diesel but require no authorization prior to use.
State and federal regulatory agencies surveyed in the report are generally not tracking fluids used in fracturing and some agencies, including the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, said the federal Safe Drinking Water Act completely exempts fracking--even with diesel, EWG said.


text: United have been linked to Inter player Wesley Sneijder (L) ahead of January transfer window [GETTY] Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson does not expect to make any major signings during the January transfer window after expressing his satisfaction with the strength of the current squad.The Premier League leaders have been linked in the media with Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder among other while a recently leaky backline has led to speculation about defensive reinforcements. "Don't hold your breath waiting for Manchester United to jump through the transfer window when it opens next week," Ferguson wrote in the programme notes for Saturday's home league game with West Bromwich Albion. "If you believed everything you read in the media, we would have the biggest squad in Europe, not to mention becoming bankrupt. "It's been open season to link us with a stack of players, admittedly some very good ones, but it just isn't going to happen."Ferguson brought in Dutch striker Robin van Persie, a player he is now comparing to United great Eric Cantona, and Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa in the last transfer window."You can never say never in football because you don't know who might become available but, speaking generally, I am not looking to do any serious transfer business in January," he said. "I don't have to because I am more than satisfied with the players I have in my squad, a group as good as any I have had in my time at Old Trafford." SOURCE: Reuters Sport Football

The Spinning Crawling Tunnel
new posts
Clear acrylic or plexi tunnel that actually extends in to the wooden walls on both sides and then a small simplified version of a vortex tunnel just spinning around it (the acrylic crawl tunnel would obviously be a couple feet off the ground so the tunnel can really spin around it).

"Dogs" on the tunnel
"Dogs as little metal stoppers to keep the full-circle rotation from happening. People fall from the high sides of the tunnel might crash pretty hard on the floor of the tube no matter padding, bones, joints can still move more than they were ready to move causing pain and possible injury.
Most people really don't like to have to crawl.If they are given a choice,optional paths this is usually the best. If the knees are to be taking half of a peson'a weight there should be at least double carpet padding under a soft carpet, of course carpet needs cleaning once and awhile especially if someone happens to get sick from the motions of rotations or simply crawling with their belly hanging down, fullof food and drink.
Then there is the possibility of infectious carbuncles..skin oozing on a surface other people's skin will be rubbing against next. (Think:Wrestling Matts)
If someone gets stuck inside the tunnel be sure and have an emergency paddle to get them moving again or the emergency pole, of course waivers must be signed before entering to give poling rights to the business.

Or....a clear tunnel with a second vortex tunnel spinning around it
Leave a comment:
I agree. I no longer go to carnivals because I don't care for the vendors screaming insults trying to get my money. But when I did go, the fun house nearly every time had a large woman or man stuck inside the rotating tunnel just trying to exit. In my earlier year this was funny shit but not so much now. I agree that going all the way around would be dangerous that's why I said use padding. But if it makes you feel better, there is no way it can go all the way around with more than one person in it, unless the two people had time to rock back and forth to really get it going. If one person is inside it and decides to go for a full 360 (much like in the fun house) I say, let him...It might be fun.
-in the case of actors spinning it while people are inside, this would be nearly impossible, but say he or she does with two people inside. Yeah, that might be a problem. If you don't have any set laws or management in your haunt (giggles), then you can always build this tunnel so that it won't spin all the way around.

If it swings all the way around etc, wouldnt you run a great risk of people spinning with it, thus falling and getting hurt?

The Spinning Crawling TunnelThis is not a vortex tunnel. When I worked at Netherworld so many seasons ago, there was a tunnel in the clown area (downstairs). It was the first time I had seen a tunnel used for anything that wasn�t specifically built for children in an outdoor park. Since then, I have seen them and even removed them from other haunts. But, if you didn�t know, my black book of ideas started when I worked there. The tunnel inspired this idea:
The Spinning Crawling Tunnel
There is a round hole in the wall that leads people into a tunnel. As they crawl through, the tunnel begins to sway back and forth. The further they crawl through the more the tunnel rotates and even spins all the way around.
Picture this as a blending of the fun house tunnel and the crawl tunnel. The difference is there are no motors. This tunnel is moved by the active people inside it (or a near-by actor). This tunnel should not be made of concrete like those in the fun house. I am not sure what you will end up using but please make sure you pad the inside. Additionally, the floor at the end of this tunnel should also be cushioned.
In the drawing, I simply drew out the idea, much like the pictures. There are none of these made that I know of yet so there are no measurements.
