The Unglamorous Life of Working Parents

You make it seem all glamorous.

It being “working motherhood”. I was chatting with one of my friends and we were discussing my prayer intentions. I admitted being overwhelmed by my life and asking for God’s help with work-life balance. And she said, “You make it seem all glamorous but I’m sure it has its iffy spots.”

“Iffy spots”? Understatement.

Parenting. Drool. Dirty, drooping diapers. Reading said diaper contents like they’re tea leaves, foretelling your child’s health. Why so orange? Right, he ate carrots last night. What’s that?? Is that an almond? Oh, Lord. Half-eaten bowls of oatmeal on the kitchen counter. Torn classics because the kid likes my books better than his. Nonsensical nursery rhymes I’d never heard before 2016. Daddy finger, daddy finger, where are you?  Toddlers that tumble off beds. A subscription to Baby Centre. Hospital emergency room at 6 am on Saturday morning because the child ran an overnight fever so severe he glowed bright red. Motherhood. Forgetting your laptop at home but arriving work with your milk pump bag. Because…priorities.

Work. My mentor says to do what I must now, so I can do what I want later. And it is hard. It is excel sheets and Powerpoint slides and endless meetings. It is open-cubicle offices and your neighbour eating fried fish in his cubicle. It’s passive-aggressiveness, it’s conflict, it’s competition, it’s conflicting feedback. It’s a workload that overwhelms you with its mind-numbingness. It’s struggling to find your passion in all of it, in fighting to remember the graduate trainee you were with your naiveté, and your confidence, and your unshakeable optimism.

Life. It is making decisions on restaurants to go to based on child-friendliness. Do they have high chairs? Do they have changing tables in the restroom? It is cajoling younger siblings and cousins to babysit the kid for one hour, two hours, a week, so you can attend that concert, see that movie, have that “adults-only” dinner with your mates. It is going through old vacation pictures and reminiscing. Exactly how/when am I ever going to go to Rome again and wander for 6 hours in the Vatican museum? Will I ever go on that girls’ only vacation with my university friends? Will our lives, so busy these days, ever synchronize again?

But would I do it again? Yes. Because I believe in Life teaching lessons and if it isn’t hard, then I am not learning. And I believe in myself and that I will eventually figure out everything that makes me restless and stressed. And recognizing that I (and others) have underestimated/misunderstood me many times before. This too shall pass.

But most importantly, I would do it again because of love. And it is a lot of sacrifices we have to make when we marry, and have families, so I would only advise this. Don’t make that commitment to someone you don’t love. Love is what makes it all worth it. Love is why you can be happy even when you’re thinking, “Gosh, I’m bungling this parenting thing. This kid has eaten rice three times  in a row.” Love is the “glamour”, the sheen on the whole thing, the laughter, the smiles.

But till love and little humans come your way with their demands on your time, enjoy your glamorous, gloriously uncomplicated life.

p.s. If you really connect with these struggles, a couple of us are over at sharing ideas on how to keep sanity and balance in this whirlwind life we’ve chosen. Stop over, some time 🙂

  1. Tee says

    Thanks for reminding us singles what’s coming ahead…lol…but no need to pressure yourself. Like your mentor said…do what you must now….cheers

  2. I’m not even a mom, but that paragraph on work describes how crazy adulthood can be. It’s exhausting sometimes. But there are good days and there are really bad days; the good days keep me going.

  3. Jite says

    Looolllll. God knows I give props to all you females doing it. Work alone is enough stress so tanks for the advice to enjoy this ‘singleness’. Well written Ose.

  4. Coco 'Bonny says

    And THIS is what makes my heart race a little too fast! I can literally feel my blood pressure rise at the thought of ‘love and little humans’

  5. “Love is the “glamour”, the sheen on the whole thing, the laughter, the smiles.

    But till love and little humans come your way with their demands on your time, enjoy your glamorous, gloriously uncomplicated life.”

    I love that you’ve taken time to write about this. It’s really just sacrificesss. Keep pushing on, and keep loving <3

  6. Chinedu says

    Nice summation of the typical parent life. However I would say to mothers: take all the help offered and seek out ways to get the help you need! The work-life balance is almost nonexistent when you are without some form of support system.

  8. Honesty & depth, I really enjoyed reading this.

    Thank you for sharing Osemhen. 🙂

  9. Fae says

    I’m just 21, but recently I noticed that I look at preggy women with this hunger in my eyes. I’m sure I haven’t thought of the not-so-glamorous side of having another individual depend on you for every thing…
    Thank you Osehmen, for sharing. I loved this.

    • Thanks, Fae! Enjoy every phase of your life; you’ll miss this part when it’s gone. Trust me 😉

  10. @ Fae

    You look at preggy women with longing at 21 ???
    At that age I was still trying to decide which jean went best with which top.

    I didn’t seriously start thing about babies and motherhood until my late twenties.

  11. Hmm…God bless you mothers. This seriously reminds us of that mental strength that isn`t too obvious, but like super powers, kick in when the baby`s cry filters through her ears.

The Boone Area: Paddling at its Peak

The Boone Area's lofty peaks are a temperate rainforest that feeds some of the country's best paddling. Whatever watery adventure you're looking for, Boone Area outfitters offer it.

Spring is King for paddling! Bring your own boat, or not, there's world-class paddling in the Boone Area. Summer and fall can be great times to canoe, kayak, raft or tube Boone Area streams and rivers! Just keep your eye on the weather check with the High Country's outfitters!

Local outfitters offer the entire range of opportunities from individual or family boat rentals (with a return shuttle back to your car), to guided day trips that include lunch. Canoeing or kayaking a classic National Wild and Scenic River like the New River is an exciting adventure that's open to almost anyone, including families. That can also mean tackling a multi-night canoe or kayak camping trip with stops at New River State Park. Entry level paddle trips are a great way to relax amid spectacular scenery.

Don't want to pilot a boat or even paddle? Many outfitters that offer river trips also rent tubes and organize tubing trips-one of the classic, low key ways to enjoy summer on a mountain stream.

Paddling High Country lakes is another family-friendly outdoor adventure. Rent a canoe or rowboat at Price Lake on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Exploring its lakeshore coves is one of the best ways to appreciate the beauty of Eastern America's highest summits.

Not everyone wants a calm day on the water! Whitewater rafting steps that up a notch and makes crashing through rapids an exciting family adventure. Many area outfitters offer rafting trips on a variety of rivers. Kayaking in the Boone Area gives experienced paddlers opportunities at all skill levels. More daring kayakers have serious whatewater to challenge them.

The Dictator

The Dictator

Reviewed by: David Graham

It's been heartening to see fearless Brit satirist Sacha Baron Cohen effortlessly transition from humble support slot on the 11 O'Clock Show to multiplex mega-star brandishing a scabrous mock-doc format that's seen him drill down into the black heart of widespread Western prejudice. His interviews as Staines wigga Ali G, Kazakh simpleton Borat and camp fashionista Bruno have all led to massively successful feature-length films, the latter two in particular exposing commonly held views so mercilessly that they must surely have broadened the minds of all who watch, often by holding up a mirror and inviting viewers to laugh at the things that make them uncomfortable.

It makes sense that for his new project - arguably his first since his cover has been well and truly blown by his unprecedented success - Cohen should turn his attention to Middle Eastern tyranny and how it fuels the West's irrational fears. Cohen's script (co-written with a trio of Curb Your Enthusiasm veterans) lampoons the miscellaneous mental pigeonholing that he (even as a British Jew) will no doubt have suffered and that many resort to when confronted with the potential 'terrorists' that the region's countries are seen almost solely as fostering. Asking us to identify with the Saddam Hussain and Colonel Gaddafi-inspired oppressor of fictional Northern African country Wadiya, The Dictator may have had some of its ground broken by Chris Morris' Jihadist-empathising hit Four Lions, but returning director Larry Charles still knows how to bring the funny and deliver a terrifically tight 85 minutes of entertainment.

Copy picture

Admiral General Aladeen is a dictator with a playboy lifestyle and lethally petulant attitude. His wealth supplied by his father's legacy of oil and his power cemented by a dangerously childish affection for WMDs, Aladeen's reign seems indisputable, until the Western-influenced threat of democracy rears its ugly head. The Adm Gen journeys to the US in order to make a stand for his right to tyranny, but falls victim to a plot to have his brainless body double take over his place. Forced to forge a life in the melting pot of Manhattan, Aladeen's views are challenged by his green-crusading boss and potential love interest 'Zoe', but his love for his country will see him heroically attempt to regain his rightful place as Wadiya's leader.

The Dictator is immediately enlivened by a series of wicked running gags, from the hilariously naff Middle Eastern cover versions of popular songs that dominate the insistent soundtrack to Aladeen's nonsensical replacement of '300 words' with his own name, often doubling as positive and negative in brilliantly inappropriate fashion. Despite the storyline's obvious targets, the script really hits its stride when it dives headfirst into the utterly absurd, delivering the sort of outrageous situations that operate in a field entirely of their own, completely outwith the realms of decency and logic. Every time you think they've pushed the boat out as far as it will go, the filmmakers set sail for uncharted territories and more often than not come up with imbecilic comic gold. Anyone who dug the puerile but prescient humor of You Don't Mess With The Zohan will have an absolute blast with this.

Like the best comedy, it's both wilfully stupid and deceptively clever, pushing buttons you may not expect. As with Charles' previous films, the script takes some turgid detours into sentiment, and even at less than 90 minutes the plot feels stretched, while some of the more obviously Yank-baiting skits are old-hat (despite one especially uproarious sequence that ingeniously equates American notions of individual liberty with masturbation). In general the script perhaps suffers by veering more towards farce rather than satire, even finding time for an extended spot of early-Peter Jackson-esque splatstick that's guaranteed to provoke hoots of hilarious disbelief from those who can take it.

However, the fact that most of the jokes in the trailer don't even turn up in the film (a bizarre but refreshing trend dating back to the Cohen-featuring Talladega Nights) is perhaps indicative of the filmmakers' confidence and hopefully a sign of the wealth of improvised and otherwise material they no doubt captured and will share on the DVD. It takes a while for The Dictator to find its groove, but that's probably preferable to a comedy running out of steam towards the end; in fact, even the post-credits gags are funnier than anything you'd find in most mainstream Hollywood comedies these days.

Anna Faris makes a suitable foil for Cohen, even if the constant 'lesbian' slurs and jokes about her boyishness grow old fast, while Ben Kingsley turns up as a nicely slimy Iago figure, even if his comeuppance is somewhat confusingly rushed. Elsewhere, John C Reilly is a little wasted as a useless American aide-turned-interrogator, and Megan Fox contributes an underwhelming cameo. This moment leads into a jaw-dropping Hollywood-shaming scene that is indication of either celebrities being more game than they get credit for or Cohen being even more ballsy than people already believe.

If the whole thing lacks the confrontational energy and reality-boosted discomfort of Borat and Bruno, at least it's still anchored in well-made observations that fearlessly tackle everything from our West-biased view on the East to the UN's single-minded and itself fascistic championing of democracy above all else. When Aladeen's climactic speech suggests the US could use a little dictatorship, the script's well-aimed sarcasm is impossible to miss. It's therefore something of a shame that here and in a few other spots, director Charles backpedals into romantic redemption, but the surprisingly sweet nature of the narrative just about sees it through.

The Dictator won't break the box office or blossom into a widespread cultural phenomenon the way the characters of Borat, Bruno and even Ali G did, but it will tickle the ribs of comedy lovers and should develop a cult clamouring of its own. It's not as well-paced as its predecessors, but it is still head and shoulders above anything the likes of Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler have come up with recently. There's less of a nasty streak to the situations than in previous Cohen works - which may be a good or a bad thing depending on your perspective - and the gross-out factor will put off as many as it endears, but this is a curiously lovable film that continues a formidable winning streak for the Brit talent and American director partnership.

Chicory - Chicorium intybus

Chicory is an unusual plant in that, although it has been cultivated for over 1,000 years, it is still very wild-looking and shows but slight effects of its association with man. Chicory is a native of Europe but is as common as a weed in the United States.

Chicory is a hardy vegetable that is used in three basic forms. The roots are dried, roasted, and prepared as a coffee substitute or coffee blend. The slightly bitter, curled dandelion-like greens (called Italian dandelion) are grown and used as potherbs. Witloof chicory (also called French endive) is forced as a blanched, tender, fresh salad delicacy. It is sold in some produce markets at high prices.

Catalogna/Cut Leaf Type:

- Catalogna Special - 40 days to maturity. Italian dandelion. Can be harvested "baby size" 3 or 4 weeks after transplanting, or left to grow into heavy tall bunches. Long, deep green, slender, deeply cut leave.

- Magdefurgh - 100 days to maturity. Italian dandelion. Medium green tender dandelion-like foliage. Excellent for Italian salads or leaves can be cooked like Spinach. Roots are tapered and white. Dried ground up roots can be used as a coffee substitute.

- San Pasquale - 70 days to maturity. Broader, more deeply cut leaves than Italian Dandelion. Large, yield more deeply cut leaves.

- Toner - 130 days to maturity. Highest quality chicons, least fussy variety for home production. Intended for fall harvest and forcing October to March.

- Witloof Improved(French Endive) - 110 days to maturity. May be used for commercial forcing in home gardens. Leaf stalks are broad, heads are very uniform.

-Turbo Hybrid - 110 days to maturity. Biennial. Produces a refined chicon for European restaurant sales. Slender well finished uniform heads tolerant to brown axes.

- Giulio - 60 days to maturity. For spring planting. Compact plant with brilliant garnet colored, white ribbed head. Resistant to bolting.

- Adria - 75 days to maturity. Crimson heads, white veins, 60% marketable heads. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep (12 to 15 seeds per foot of row). Allow 18 to 24 inches between rows. When the seedlings are 2 to 3 inches high, thin them to 9 to 12 inches apart for chicory roots and greens and 3 to 4 inches apart for Witloof. Plant in May for greens and roots and about 120 days before frost for production of roots for forcing.

- Greens - Young, tender leaves can be harvested for greens in 60 to 70 days when they are 6 to 8 inches long. Chicory may also be blanched by tying the outermost leaves in the same manner as endive and escarole.

- Chicory Root - Chicory root is grown as a long-season annual. Most commercial production is in Michigan, but chicory root is easily grown under Arkansas conditions. Dig roots in the late fall before they are frozen in the garden. The roots will be 5 to 7 inches in diameter at the crown and tapered into a taproot. The usable root will be 9 to 10 inches long. The roots are scrubbed to remove garden soil, cubed, and roasted for grinding.

Forcing Chicory

Do not plant seeds too early for forcing roots. The roots may grow too large or develop flower stalks, making them unsuitable for forcing. Roots with a diameter of 1 to 1 3/4 inches at the crown are preferred for forcing. When the weather becomes cold, dig the roots and cut off the tops about 2 inches above the crown (top of root). Store the roots in a cool place with high moisture such as an outdoor vegetable pit or underground cellar.

During the winter and early spring, roots can be prepared in a new forcing box every two to three weeks for a continuous supply. Most gardeners put their forcing boxes in the basement because lack of light does not affect the quality of the Witloof heads. Some gardeners use cold frames or hotbeds or force in a trench in the garden. A sheet of clear or black polyethylene film should be placed over the trench to increase soil temperature.

Cut off the slender tips so that the roots are a uniform length (6 to 8 inches) and place the roots close together in a box or other container. Fill with sand or fine soil sifted in between the roots up to the tops of the crowns. Add 6 to 8 inches of sand or sawdust over the crowns.The blanched tops will grow into compact, pointed heads. The proper temperature for forcing is between 60 and 70 degrees F. Water thoroughly after preparing the forcing box. One or two additional waterings may be necessary. Forcing requires three to four weeks to develop firm heads.

When the heads break the surface, remove the sand or sawdust. Cut off the head with a knife at the point of attachment with the root. Prepare heads for the kitchen by removing dirty and loose outer leaves. Store the excess in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.Chicory heads will keep for two to four weeks.

Both from Poland, which is quickly ranking in the top fashion blogging cities of the world.

This Is Funny

Last week while I had my sinus infection, I stayed mostly at my mom's house, so she could take care of me, instead of my aunt&uncle's house like I usually do. She did a good job. I got clean sheets and everything. And I'm feeling a million times better. Occasionally, I'd still drop by my aunt&uncle's house to hang out with anyone who happened to have the day off from work or school. One night we all convened there for dinner while I was still feeling pretty sick (please excuse The Ugly) and the kids jumped on my computer, as they are wont to do, like white on rice. Apple's Photobooth application is a favorite pastime of ours. Below we have cousin Claudia, 13, being the total Diva that she is and me, 23, making a face and drooling on Claudia's arm, then trying to recover, then pointing out the drool on Claudia's arm, and finally laughing at her reaction to it.

Massive Panic

So there's this THING I've been doing at work, for the last, I don't know, about 18 months. And I've been laying the groundwork for it very heavily in the last few months (hiring the appropriate contractors, ordering processing resources, cleaning, pushing around little pieces of paper on a scale model I cut out trying to make sure we have space for it in the lab, fighting off the people telling me to get my crates housing fragile components which are blocking egress out of the hallway, pushing the schedule back because of UL compliance failure, etc) and it was all supposed to come to fruition YESTERDAY. The company engineers were supposed to come out from California, and do the "installation" of the equipment that we ordered over 8 months ago, and arrived over 2 months ago. I'm not sure what you'd call what I've been doing for the last 18 months, but it wasn't "installation," apparently. I did one final mopping of the cleanroom on Sunday to get ready for it.

And they didn't show. I called at 9:30am EST to ask when we were getting started and they -being in California- woke up, answered the phone, and told me "I'm not scheduled." Apparently the customer service team and the technical support team don't talk. I sat at my desk shaking for two hours before I finally got a callback from my friend at customer service. They're coming next Monday, instead. Promise. Which is not bad, but I was freaked out enough that I started writing a blog post about it, my first in months. The boss is out of town all week, and it would have been ideal to have this finished by the time he got back. I'm still dreading his angry email asking what I did to make the wheels come off the bus.

This company is supposed to be renowned for their post-purchase service and attentiveness. I'm not saying I'm disappointed, yet, but they have until next Wednesday to redeem themselves. They're also used to selling to better staffed labs, or industrial manufacturing plants where people actually know what they're doing with semiconductor processing equipment, not some poor recent college grad whose never even seen one of these things before. (me)

As an aside, it seems that level of stress is great for my insulin's efficacy. I woke up around 6am today with blood sugar values in the 20's.

Paul said...

maybe you should eat more cookies when you are stressed out. Jesum thats scary. Hope it all works out.

Beth said...

Thank God you woke up, with your blood sugar in the 20's. I thought it was chocolate or ice cream for stress...

I took a class with Sarah Swett at Madrona last weekend. The class was titled “The Undercover Sketchbook.” We started out by making our own sketchbook with 5 pieces of fabric, 6.5″ x 13″, 4 linen and 1 hemp. I used some of her hand spun silk thread to do a quick and easy sewn binding (similar to this sewn binding method).

Then we were off to start our sketches. We were to sketch with our needle and thread directly into our new sketchbooks. No pencils allowed.

Want to see the results of my class exercises?

Warm up: Taking our needle for a walk.
Sketch of my scissors (a leatherman).
3 items I never leave the house without.

The last exercise was to be a portrait. I chose to do one of Sarah (note the signature glasses!). I decided that it would be perfect for the cover of my sketchbook so I added a sketchbook, Madrona and (20)12. My entire workshop “notes” all bound up and labeled!

This was a fun way to create quick “sketches.” I definitely will be adding this to my bag of tricks!

AFRICA/CONGO RD - Apparent calm in Kinshasa; the number of the victims due to recent clashes remains uncertain

Thursday, 22 September 2016 politics

Kinshasa (Agenzia Fides) – There is apparent calm in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, were demonstrations were held in the city with clashes and also casualties among security forces and opposition (see Fides 21/09/2016), with an official provisional toll of 32 dead and a hundred injured. According to the main opposition party, the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS), the toll is much more serious.
"Circulation has returned to normal while shops and offices have reopened" local sources told Agenzia Fides.
On September 19, "Le Rassemblement", a group of opposition parties supporting the candidate Etienne Tshisekedi, UDPS leader, had called on its supporters to take to the streets to "remind President Joseph Kabila of his eviction" three months after the expiry of his second term, on 20 December. The date of the presidential elections has not yet been set.
The UN Security Council has called for calm and stressed "the crucial importance" of the presidential election to be held "in accordance with the Constitution". (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 22/09/2016)

This is an easy update to two files that is installable on any basic OSC installation. It should work with all shipping modules, but has only been tested on USPS (single module, not accompanying any other).This contrib updates the checkout_shipping.php file so that it will not show the shipping choices if the items being purchased are not to be shipped. If no items are to be shipped then the confirmation page will show the default shipping choice but it will have $0.00 shown for the shipping cost. This is to verify with the customer that no shipping is being aded to the total cost of the product(s).This contrib is different than some of the other free shipping contribs in the fact that a customer can purchase an item that has free shipping and he/she can also purchase other items that do not have free shipping without incurring extra shipping from the items without shipping.To control this feature the administrator only needs to input a 0 or negative number in the product's shipping weight. This will make the program assume that there is no shipping cost for these items.The following two files should overwrite the ones in their respective directories only if these files have not been changed already.

Syma X5C repair

Syma X5C repair – motor replace

Few month ago I crashed my Syma X5C in the backyard and I recovered the quadcopter only after few minutes. Unfortunately, because the motors of the quad didn’t stopped after hitting the ground, the propellers have hooked in 20cm high grass.

After I removed all the grasses around the propellers and motors shafts I tried to fly again with my Syma X5C but two of the motors didn’t start anymore.

Sponosored AD

Because it is made from lightweight and durable materials, mechanically nothing happened to the quadcopter. In order to found the problem I had to check electrically every component of the Syma X5C separately.

I removed the quadcopter ‘s cover to check if the problem is from some poor quality wire connectors or cold soldering, but I didn’t found any of this. I concluded the aircraft ‘s mainboard or two of the motors died.

To be sure which are the faulty parts I reversed the spinning motors with the “dead” motors. Same thing, two motors are spinning and two are not. That is somehow good news, because only the motors died.

When I removed the dead motors from the Syma X5C I found that one of the motor base was melted because of the motor’s heat.

All quadcopters use two type of motor: clockwise and anti-clockwise. In case of the X5C you can make the differences by the color of the motor wires. The two clockwise motors has blue and red wires and the anti-clockwise motors has white and black wires.

Syma X5C repair. Make this drone fly again.

After I identified all the faulty components I started to look on the internet for cheap spare parts to repair my Syma X5C quadcopter.

In no more than five minutes and I placed my order for two anti-clockwise motors and one motor base. The price was very affordable, only $8 with free shipping.

Shipping could be faster, but after 27 days from placing my order, I had everything I need to replace the faulty parts and repair my Syma X5C quad.

Tools and materials that you need to repair your Syma X5C

  • Screwdriver;
  • Cutting pliers;
  • Soldering iron;
  • Voltmeter;
  • Tin lead resin for soldering;
  • Spare parts to replace the faulty components;
  • A lot of patience 🙂

Firstly I removed all the faulty parts and carefully replaced them with the new ones. Always disconnect the battery to prevent any short-circuit that can damage your quadcopter.

When you are replacing the Syma X5C ‘s motors you need to pay attention to the polarity of the motors.

You have to solder the motor wires to the receiver board in this order:

  • Motor M1 (anti-clockwise) – White to M1+ and Black to M1-
  • Motor M2 (clockwise) – Red to M2+ and Blue to M2-
  • Motor M3 (anti-clockwise) – White to M3+ and Black to M3-
  • Motor M4 (clockwise) – Red to M4+ and Blue to M4-

After I soldered back the new motors, I powered ON the quadcopter to see if all the motors spins freely and correctly. Good news, the surgery was a success and the patience is still alive 🙂

It remained the last stage, reassembly and screwing all the bolts of the aircraft.

After the successful repair, my Syma X5C was ready for the next flight!

If you want to repair your Syma X5C proceed at your own risk only! I’m not responsible for any damages.

First 2018 Drone deals

  1. Good repair instructions but you faied to show how to unscrew or remove the cage that holds the motor and gears to the syma X5 frame. Can you tell me how to do that? much appreciated.

    • Sorry, but the motor was removed in hurry after the crash land and it not was documented with images.
      But to remove the motor is very simple:
      – firstly you have to unscrew everything;
      – then you can remove the body cover and motor base cover of the Syma X5C;
      – remote the propellers;
      – after this you can easily remove the motor base;
      – unsolder the motor wires;
      – then gently pulling the wire will comes out engine from the motor base.

      • Hi, I would like to know if the power switch located behind the syma x5c-1 by the battery compartment is available somewhere to purchase?
        The one you used to turn on the drone. For some reason the little black stick switch broke, I have no idea why and how easy it broke but now I need a replacement.
        Its just a small piece that is attached to the receiver board.
        Hopefully the spare piece is available and no need to buy the whole board.
        Thank you

  2. Great website man!

    I would make some upgrades to my syma x5c. I would like to add an ESC and motor of 750kv. Do you know if its possible? I have fear of burn my receiver board… of course i will change the frame…

    thank you.

  3. hello,
    thank you for your guide! My Syma X5 is down right now too. You said to test the board u reversed the channels?
    Was this done via removing the power leads from m1,+ m1 and sodering on the alternate m2+ , m2 – ? or was there another method.
    I want to ensure I am not wasting money on parts I do not need. My issue is low power to 2 of the 4 props.
    Thank you!

    • Hi Matt,
      Yes I tested the receiver board by reversing the channels.
      For example, if the m1 won’t spin and the m2 works perfectly, you have to unsolder the motor wires from -m1 and +m1 and solder them to the -m2 and +m2 on the receiver board.
      If after this operation the motor will still not spin up, then you have a dead motor. If it will spin up, you have one dead channel on the X5C’s receiver board.
      Good luck with you repair process!

      • Much simpler to use the battery to supply 3.7v to the suspect motor. You can do this without even unsoldering it.
        All you need is a spare female connector. Cut the wire about 12 inches from the connector. Just touch those wires to the motor solder joints on the board.

        If the motor is good, it will spin (full speed)
        You have a bad controller or solder joint.

        If the motor still doesn’t spin, you have a bad motor.

  4. Trying to replace one motor. How do you remove top cover?
    I removed 8 screws but it is still held in the center and I cannot release it.
    Any advice?

  5. I crashed my quad, and now it wont take off/moves to the left. One of the motors seems to not be moving as fast, but I’m not sure if the motor is having problems or the gyro is messing up. Any idea of what is wrong?

    • Hi George,
      If recalibrating the gyro will not help you, you can try to reverse the motors to see if is something wrong with the motor or with the receiver board.

      Good luck with your X5C repair!

  6. Hi there. Glad someone is taking time and repairing stuff 😀 1 question. On my front right part, the gear wobbles the prop when I turn up the speed, it vibrates really good. I Changed the motor, but still the problem is there. I think the gear is slightly angled. My question is, the spare part “Motor Base” from banggood, does it come with the gear installed, because I can’t seem to take out the gear from my motor base and in their website pictures, there is the gear mounted. Thank you for the time 😀

  7. Hi.

    I’m having a problem with my new syma x5c. I have it since last week but i’m trying to sync following the instructions and it is not working. Do you know if there is a solution to sync succesfully my syma x5c with the control?

    Thanks in advance.

  8. The copter needs to be on a level surface to sync especially when doing a restart function reset. Also try to turn on the copter then the power switch on the transmitter.

  9. I got a Syma x5c as a gift, and one night I tried setting the gyro upside down for fun. However, one motor, the front right motor no longer works. The wiring looks ok. Whats wrong?

  10. I just replace all 4 of my motors. Tried to fly and two of the motors were spinning in the wrong direction. I know I installed them in the same order and polarity as the original. But I reversed the polarity on the two motors and it fixed it. But now I try to fly and it lifts off the ground a foot then goes erratic and crashed every time. I can’t trim it in. Any ideas?

  11. I crashed my X5C into a tree, and got it down, 3 of the motors and props spin normal, but one’s gyro is just off. It vibrates and hits the blade protector, and every time I take off it goes full left and flips continuously until hitting the ground.

  12. So I got my x5c in and within 5 minutes one of the motors has stopped working. After pulling it apart I notice that three of the motors have blue and red wires and only one has white and black. Do you feel that could be the issue? Thanks in advance.

  13. I think you should order new motor cages if installing a new motor as it is never a good idea to mesh a new gear with an old worn gear. Also make sure the cages come with the gear and shaft, I believe some don’t as I have seen gears sold separately. Also, I have now replaced two motors along with their cages. Both cages came with a small tab which had to be carefully cut off and filed smooth as they would not fit in the body otherwise. Compare your old cage and new cage to spot the difference. Presumably the cage is also for another model. Be careful not to lose any screws and note where they come from. There are four screws in the holes near the landing geat, two near the switch, eight long ones on the body near the motors and each motor cover has three screws. Be careful and gentle when snapping the body apart and rejoining it.

  14. I received my replacement motors (after about a month) and ended up with two clockwise but I need an anti-clockwise. Can I just use that clockwise motor and just reverse leads to the board? Or am I waiting another month?

      • FYI – the clockwise motor installed with reverse polarity started screaming/seizing after several flights. I read this on a motor site “To maximize performance and life span, don’t run them in reverse! ”
        So perhaps the reverse polarity is a short term fix, long term problem. Bummer that I orders several cheaper clockwise motors.

  15. hello,
    I have a problem with my x5C-1 🙁
    I just changed an engine after a crach!
    4 engines now turning normally.
    However, it fails to take off: it just took off from 2-3 cm and is not controllable (from right or left without power rétalblir with remote control).
    Do you have an idea to help me?
    thank you !!!!

  16. I have a Syma x5c-1 and I replaced my back right motor (blue and red wire) and it’s spinning clockwise instead of anti-clockwise.
    I also tried reversing the wire same thing I even tried taking a clockwise motor and tried reversing the polarity same thing…
    Any help would be great thanks.

    • Just you have to reverse two channels (one working with one that is not working). IF the “dead” motor will spin up, unfortunately your X5C receiver board is burned.

    • I had the same problem. It has to do with the propellers, they have to go on in a certain way.

      1. Place the quadcopter with both of the red lights facing forward.

      2. The position for the propellers above the red lights are:
      The left Red Light should have the propeller with the “warning” sign to the left – The one with the letter A under it.
      The right Red Light should have the propeller with the “warning” sign to the right – The one with the letter B under it.

      3. The position for the propellers above the green lights are:
      The left propeller above the Green Light should have the propeller with the “warning” sign to the right.
      The right propeller above the Green Light should have the propeller with the “warning” sign to the left.

      Look at the Image if you don’t understand:

      Hope I could help.
      Thank You

  17. Hi, I recently crash my x5c while doing a 3d evasion then it had been stuck in flip mode it seem.. Sometime it is flying OK but sometimes after a min or so of flying it will suddenly become unbalance and start to fell down.. The problem can also be recreate when I try to to another flip then it will straight fall down too.. Seem like one or two of the motor will go into flip mode on its own… Pls advise if there is any fix to this.. Thanks

  18. I got all my motors spinning correctly but now I can’t get more lift then about 6′ off the ground… From everything I’ve read it’s usually due to a bad motor so I replaced all 4 and it’s still doing the same thing so I ordered more expensive motors from a better company thinking it was maybe one of my new motors was faulty but after replacing all 4 for a second time it’s still doing the same thing… Any input would be greatly appreciated.

  19. Hi.
    I have taken the syma x5c-1 apart, I have noticed that there are two screws that are slightly longer than the rest, could you please tell me were they go as I didn’t notice until i had them all out.
    regards johnny

  20. Reply To: Johnny (screws)

    I have taken my X5C-1 apart many times for repairs and modifications. I believe the 2 screws are for the switch. I have several bodies I have purchased and a friends X5C-1 that I have repaired for him. None of the units I have disassembled have the same screws in the same place. The only screws that I have found to be consistent are the propeller screws on any of the motor cages I have purchased with the gear. If you look closely at the holes where the screws go into you will see they can accept longer screws. So if all of your screws are snug you can install the 2 screws in most any hole.
    I hope this helps.

  21. SCREWS for X5C and many others.

    If you disassemble your Quad as many times as I have you will find that the screws don’t tighten after a few reassembles. The holes the screws go into become enlarged and won’t secure the parts very well. The holes for all the screws can accept a longer screw but trying to find these screws can be very difficult. ( and expensive ) If you purchase #0 machine screws 1/2 in. long they will work great. You will need to shorten the screw as needed. I use a pair of side cutter pliers. Hold the body firmly and turn the screw in, it will make it’s own threads as it goes into the plastic. The threads will be much finer than the original screw and you will be amazed how snug they are. Remember the screws are only used to clamp the parts together, the stress loads are very minimal. I have never had a failure in over 20 hours of flying, 10 minutes at a time.
    I have several more tips and modifications for better connectors, larger batteries, antenna upgrades, etc. if anyone is interested and with permission I will respond to posts here. This is the best place I have found for good information.
    I hope this Screw Tip is helpful and don’t be afraid to tear into your Quad.

    • I know that this is an old thread but thought anyone stumbling across it might find this helpful… keep track of your screws when removing – separate into groups representing where they were removed from. When reassembling – place the proper screw in place and turn out slowly (counter clockwise) until you feel or hear a click and then tighten (turning clockwise). This will allow the screw to find and follow its original path. You will be able to tell you’re on the original path when tightening as it will require little effort. And don’t over tighten – it just needs to be snug. If you blaze a new trail every time you reinsert a screw eventually you will end up stripping or cross-threading the X5C receiver to the point where the screw won’t hold.

  22. I noticed some folks are having issues flying after a crash or a repair. You might try recalibrating your gyros. To perform this first go through the normal start procedure. Be sure the Quad is on a level surface and Bind onto the controller. Before you do anything else move both control levers back and to the right at the same time and hold them there. The Quad will start to flash rapidly, when it completes the cycle the lights will stop flashing and the gyros will be recalibrated. You can release the levers and start flying. I have found this solves some control issues. I recalibrate my Quads after a few flights just to keep them operating at their best.

  23. So one day I LANDED my quad it did not crash and a motor stopped any idea what happened or how to fix it?

  24. Reply to: Don’t want to be named.
    It’s unusual to have 1 motor stop after normal flight but it can happen. I have to ask the obvious questions like does the propeller turn freely or is it sticking or feel rough? Does the motor make any noise at all? If it is sticking or rough, thoroughly inspect the gears.
    Is the motor drive gear still there? I have had them come off or slide on the shaft so the propeller doesn’t turn. You can see if the motor will run by itself by removing the drive gear. You should be able to pry it off with a small screw driver. Once removed turn the Quad on and see if the motor spins.
    If it does you have a bad motor cage if it doesn’t you could have a problem with the motor, the wiring or the PCB board. You will have to open the Quad to make repairs.

    • I crashed my Syma X5C and now one ef the motors is screaming and I can’t figure out why. I just replaced the motors, so I will try switching the screamer out. Would this work?

  25. UMXR13 Thanks for the instructions. Why quad couldn’t take off after a motor wire soldering.
    Now it’s ok when install the propellers correctly!!

  26. I’ve had my Syma 5XC for several months and have used it on a dozen different occasions. I am now having an issue with the quadcopter not staying synced with the controller. I will either crash it or it lands and then looses connectivity. The unit will stay either fast or slow blinking. It will eventually turn off all lights for a few minutes and then come back on. I can then reset the connection by rebooting the controller and re-syncing it. I can swap out the batteries on the quadcopter but that does not seem to change it’s odd behavior.
    The remote’s LCD shows full signal strength. I cannot tell if the quadcopter is failing or maybe the remote. I have “recalibrated” the unit on several occasions but that does not fix it.
    Any ideas what the issue might be? Should I give it up and buy another?

    What does the fast and slow light flashing mean?

  27. To: Johnny on the Spot

    I think you are having battery issues. I am not a big fan of the battery connector in the X5C as they can become loose very quickly. If the battery looses connection and then reconnects the Quad thinks it has been shut off and turned back on. It will then want to go through the binding process again. It will blink fast as it sets the gyros and then blinks slow indicating it is ready to bind. You can try wedging the connector towards the outside of the Quad with the battery wires and then close the cover. If this helps you have found your problem. I had the same problem with my X5C and some others I’ve had. I changed to JST Red connectors and no longer had the problem.
    I hope this helps.

  28. All once you have replaced a motor(s) be sure to put the proper propeller in the correct motor. The easiest way to explain is for the dipped end of the prop I’d the back side when rotating i.e. clockwise the dip will be to the left vice versa for counter clockwise.

  29. I have a syma x5c quadcopter and I installed 3 blades propellers on it and it dose not have the lift it did do I need a higher rpm motor

  30. Art,

    You don’t need higher RPM motors you need to go back to the 2 blade propellers. Adding the 3 blades is like putting Boeing 707 wings on a Lear Jet. Sure they have more lift potential but the added weight far out reaches any benefit. What was the reason for the 3 blade propellers in the first place? If it’s better performance read the Flying TESTIMONIALS section of this website. Remember that these companies spend a lot of money to design, develop and produce these Quads. If 3 blades had been better than 2 the X5C would have came with them.

  31. There was hair stuck in one of my props and after I got it out the xc5sw flies fine and pretty stable, maybe slightly less stable but still okay. But the one prop that had hair in it is stiff and starts later than the other motors and stops spinning first. Is it worth getting a new motor or no?

  32. I had two motors go bad. I replaced the two rear motors but my Syma will not get altitude anymore. It can take off but it won’t zip up sky high anymore. One thing I did to was since I don’t have a soldering iron I simply twisted the wires together with electrical tape. Do you think that could be the problem?

  33. Matt,

    Twisting the wires together is marginal at best. An alternative to soldering would be to use a crimp type connector. Do the propellers turn freely on all the motors? Did you loose both motors at the same time? These could be indications of another problem. How are your batteries? If the Quad still flies stable and turns normally it could be low batteries or a bad battery connection. If you lost both motors at the same time and now it flies sluggish I would suspect a bad board. With out a meter it would be hard to tell.

  34. Right rear receiver motor running very slow or not at all. Why is this? Who can fix the problem. I just want to fly it, not work on it to make it fly.

  35. I had one motor die; then I tried a local toy repairshop (didn’t felt too confident with my soldering skills), but 3 times they replaced the motor and 3 times it started heating up, losing power, and smelling like it was burning, after just a battery and a half; the prop seems to be spinning well, possibly even slightly better than the others; do you think they were just installing the wrong direction motors, or could there be something else wrong with the quad burning the motors?

    • I forgot I had posted this here; turns out they were putting the wrong type of motor. I got it sorted out in a specialized place.

      But later my motors kept dying after only a few days of flight; it has been suggested that maybe I wasted my money on a pack of 6 batteries because the motors might be overheating and need so much time to cool down in hot weather that I might not even be able to fly twice in a hour without frying motors 🙁

  36. Thank you for this information. Maybe you can help me. My son received the AKASO X5C quadcopter for his birthday a week ago. He flew it once or twice before one of the propellers stopped working. It is stiff to turn by hand and doesn’t turn at all when the drone is turned on. The other three turn freely by hand and by the motor.
    Any suggestions you could give would be very much appreciated.

  37. My son got this for a Christmas gift. After 2 or 4 flights one of the props stopped working. Thorough research lead us to buy a soldering iron and attempt a motor replacement.
    Opened up unit and removed motor from failed prop, no visual signs of damage. Not certain its the motor but proceeding with the replacement regardless. Can’t think of any other reason prop won’t work? Body is open, new motor in position, ready to solder wires onto circuit board. Problem…solder doesn’t appear to attach to circuit board?
    Using a 900 degree battery operated Weller soldering iron. It will melt but won’t adhere? I have never done any soldering before.
    Can anyone advise from here?

  38. I tested the motor that was not turning by connecting It to the power supply and was excited that it didn’t start up… thinking my troubleshooting was done and all I had to do was replace the motor. however if give it a twirl it goes really fast (the gear burned my finger it was going so fast). I thought the contacts were loose, so I made sure they were really tight and again, no movement until I gave it a very light twirl in the right direction. is this a bad motor? the battery is fully charged and the motor base spins freely.

    thanks for any ideas on next step to troubleshoot.

  39. HELP!

    New motor just came in the mail but wires are cut two inches from motor itself. Could I just strip the two ends of the pre-existing wires (since it’s the motor that’s damaged) and electrical bind them together?

  40. So I had a gear fail and a motor fail. Caused some major body damage as well. So I bought a kit with a new shell, gears and motors. I spliced and soldered the wires together and put it all back together. I turn on the controller and connect to the quadcopter. As soon as I do the trim starts to go up. It will not let me lower it back down.
    I am able to fly the copter with no issues it appears but it shouldn’t be doing that.
    Anyone got any ideas on how to fix that?

    • So I figured out my issue, appears that I was also trying to do the mod for the remote control to add a higher gain antenna. Well when I soldered the battery pack part, it was a larger glob of solder and was touching the board when it was closed all the way. I just bent the tab back and it fixed the issue. But I am still having issues, it flies now but it seems like it doesn’t have the same kind of power and tends to dip a lot now when I spin around/try to turn around now. Could that be the motors being junk or a bad control board??

  41. I did not crash but am drifting and cant compensate properly. How to trim so as to hover. trim not working or maybe i dont know how to trim. I use the trim button.

  42. My x5c powers up and lifts off ok but when I remove the throttle one of the motors stays stuck on in full throttle. This is bad in the air. I can turn it off re bind transmitter fly and when I cut the throttle that one motor stays stuck on.
    Any thoughts?

  43. I have a Syma X5SW Quadcopter. After a few flights and putting it away for the night. I tried to turn the quadcopter on the next day, no led lights. I all of my batteries and they are fully charged. Any help would be appreciated

  44. My X5C appears to pair (lights go steady when throttle is advanced) but lights slowly flash and motors do not turn when the throttle is advanced for takeoff. (the battery is fully charged)

  45. Okay, as there are so many Syma X5C fans on here I’m hoping someone has seen my questionable issue.
    One of the motors failed as most of us have seen. I replaced the motor, making sure to match color for motor wires with the dead motor.
    After installing the motor and testing all motors ran without a hitch. The rub comes into play that rather than creating lift, the motors are creating down force. I only replaced one motor, Two motors do rotate clockwise while the other counter clockwise. I’ve tried resetting the gyro, changed out multiple batteries thinking the aftermarket battery was wired incorrectly.
    There is no gear damage or anything along those lines. There is a lot of down force so all motors are creating a good amount of power, but just in the wrong direction. any ideas?
    Thanks in advance to anyone reading and replying.

  46. Hi my drone just recently broke. Only 3 props seem to spin. The other just stays still while the other 3 spin. Any advice on how to fix this 1 prop.

  47. I have a syma x5c and during flying one of the tiny white gear on the motor that turns the propeller got missing now only three propellers turns i don’t know where to buy the missing gear.

  48. I have replaced two motors, at different times, on my x5c1 syma. Just recently it started acting as if the battery is dead, after maybe thirty seconds of flight.
    I bought new batteries and a matching charger, but she’s still, lighting up, emitting tones as new, all motors spin, off she goes, maybe twenty feet and best to be turning back. grumble,
    thanks for your blog and any ideas,

    *I’ve tried and returned the x5sw, real nice looking but very little range. I also picked up the x8w(real nice so far), and the x5hw, super smooth, but I still miss the nimble old x5c-1,

  49. Hi

    I have my very first syma x5c quadcopter drone where only 3 blades work a the same time ?
    I am not a technician. What can I do ??

    I don’t now how to re-calibrate the gyros ?

  50. After my daughter crashed our Syma X5C-1 after only 3 flights, one of the propellers stopped working.
    The gears seemed fine (not stuck), and after reading through this forum feared the worst: that she’d burned out one of the motors. A gyro reset didn’t work, though after I opened it up, I noticed that one of the motor wires (red) from the propeller to the “dead one” had completely disconnected.
    It was an easy fix: I soldered it back on, and all was well. So before replacing your motors, do a quick inspection of the wire leads first — it might save you some time and money.

  51. Hi
    A few weeks ago I bought a syma x5c and after a few flights 2 motors dead . I replaced them with new. But the problem is when I connect the battery one of the motor spin directly without switch on. What should I do? Need help!

  52. Seems there is a mystery about what motor is actually “the” replacement on a Syma X5C….what I was received was a 7mm diameter and what is apparently needed is an 8.415 mm. Can anyone specify a site that will sell me the correct motor?

  53. Couple questions if anyone knows…… sick of worrying about motor replacements so continuously (X5C), is there any kind of basic motor upgrade that is not necessarily faster or more powerful, but more long-term stable?

    Also, bought some 720mAh batteries from the beginning, are the higher power batteries stressing the motors more in any way?

    Last, but not least, any recommendations on a better quad/drone with X5C capabilities that will not have to have the motors constantly replaced,under $100?

    • mAh (milli Amp hour) refers to the amount of gas in the car if you will. The v (volts) refers to the horse power, or maybe torque. So unless the batteries are a higher voltage you should be ok.

  54. Just brought x5c-1 plug battery in to try it out . every thing check out ok . took battery out and charge it put it back in turned it back on. would not light up or work. check battery 4.2 volts what happen

Nova 535 Saved the Day When This Couple’s Venue Cancelled the Day Before the Wedding

When faced with the most stressful news a bride and groom can receive the day before their wedding, Natalie and Luke rolled with the punches and pulled off an indescribably charming celebration at Nova 535! Despite the venue change, which lead to canceling vendors and having to rethink the entire design of their day, the couple had a beautiful outdoor ceremony on a patio lined with bamboo trees and a cozy, modern reception in the downtown event space. They also took full advantage of the city’s impressive murals for a fun, colorful, and quirky portrait session with Savannah Lauren Photography. This wedding is proof that, even if everything doesn’t go according to plan, your wedding day will be perfect because of the person you marry and the loved ones you have by your side!

The Couple:

Natalie and Luke

The Wedding:

Nova 535, St. Petersburg, Florida

Our original venue called the day before our wedding and said they were double-booked, even though we had booked them more than a year out, and they had our deposit. (The wedding they chose to host was double the size of ours, so they made double the money.) We had to cancel some of our vendors and abandon the booze we had purchased. Nova 535 offers their own bar, tables, chairs and staff — I wish we had booked them from the beginning.

With less than 24 hours to throw a wedding together over a holiday weekend, we thought we’d have to get married in a Target parking lot, but my cousin recommended Nova 535 and somehow they were available. I now believe in miracles! Michael, the event coordinator at the venue, was so kind and generous with us — he made us feel like everything was under control.

Our wedding vibe chose itself. We planned to rely on the outdoors vibe of the venue that ditched us, but with less than 24 hours to pull a vibe together, we relied on the venue — which is beautiful — and our friends’ and family’s vibe, which is pretty fun and weird and lovely. If you haven’t figured it out yet, the most important part of a wedding is the people. It’s about the people, people!

Turn on your JavaScript to view content

We walked around the streets and alleys of downtown St. Petersburg with our friends, which really cracked us up because none of us expected to be taking photos in an alley.

Savannah Lauren Photography is not just a brilliant photographer, she is an amazing human. She is so generous of heart, funny, interesting, intuitive, and colorful. She really got to know us. Now we’re friends. She’s one of a kind.

When people ask what our favorite parts of the wedding were, we always mention Savannah. Our wedding had the potential to be a disaster — and I guess technically it was. When we were with Savannah, all of the craziness melted away. She created space for us to focus on why we were there.

Congratulations to Natalie and Luke, and a special thanks to Savannah Lauren Photography for sharing these wedding photos with Junebug! Looking for more cool urban wedding inspiration? Check out this urban organic New York wedding at The McKittrick Hotel!
