Goodbye, Gossip Girl: I’m Leaving You, and This Time I Mean It

The cast of Gossip GirlI am so angry with myself. Livid. I should have known it was coming. I should have known it would come to a bad end: all disappointment, depression and outright disgust. I mean, my goodness, I’m talking about Gossip Girl here, a ridiculous CW show about a bunch of ill-natured young miscreants with way too much money and far too little conscience. How could I have thought to gain anything more out of it than pretty people in pretty clothes mouthing the occasional pretty turn of phrase? These characters are vile, vicious and utterly without value—as the fifth season finale, and the very last episode of this show I will ever watch, demonstrated vividly, and without even a shadow of remorse.

Yes, I have watched Gossip Girl for five seasons. That is half a decade. And throughout that time, and particularly throughout this past year or so, I had even been somewhat evangelical about it, singing the show’s praises loudly—if, I admit, somewhat shamefacedly. In particular, I was very taken by the slow-build backbiting romance of former high school nemeses Blair (Leighton Meester) and Dan (Penn Badgeley)—for evidence of which see Gossip Girl’s Dan and Blair: Hating Their Way to Love; The State of Play on Gossip Girl, or What’s Up with Dan and Blair?; and The Princess and the Pretender: Gossip Girl’s Unlikeliest Couple Lives!.

Dan and Blair in Gossip Girl Season 5I liked this couple so much. Too much. To the extent, in fact, that it utterly overcame my natural inclination to break up with this show earlier this season—as ruthlessly as Chuck (Ed Westwick) repeatedly dumped Blair, or Blair dumped Nate (Chace Crawford), or Serena (Blake Lively) dumped Dan (rinse, lather and repeat)—after just one too many outlandish character reversals and acts of utter moral depravity. For Dan and Blair, I hung in. And even though it was evident from almost the outset of their finally-realized relationship that a satisfying HEA was not to be theirs—he loved her way more than she did him and their differences, so compelling in a fractious courtship, made for an exhausting established couple—I was happily along for the ride, enjoying the uncertainty, not knowing how things would end or why, but knowing they would…and being pretty much okay with that.

But then came this season’s finale, and the scales at last fell from my eyes. It has been weeks now since this episode aired—weeks!—and I am still reeling from its complete nonsensical crapness, still covered in confusion and filled with impotent fury. If Community’s Greendale Community College, home to classes like “Joke-Telling,” “Can I Fry That?” and “Ladders,” were to teach a subject called “How to Disembowel Your Characters, Destroy Your TV Show and Alienate Every Single Person Who Ever Watched It 101,” then this episode could easily be the only study material needed on the syllabus. Seriously, in comparison to this visual excrement, Fonzie jumping over that shark on water skis doesn’t even come close. The characters that we have spent five seasons watching evolve? Suddenly they’re all Evil Mirror Universe Bizarro World versions of themselves—and believe me when I tell you, they were all pretty Evil Mirror Universe Bizarro World as it was.

Dan and BlairSo here’s what’s been going on. Chuck has been pining for Blair all year, and Serena for Dan. Blair was first married to a prince, then ran away because she confessed her love for Chuck, and then ended up with Dan, who had been adorably obsessed with her for what seemed like forever. Nate had been dating his boss Diana (Elizabeth Hurley) but then they broke up, after which she confessed to being his best-friend Chuck’s long-lost mother, except that she wasn’t really…but she was keeping secret the fact that Chuck’s dead billionaire father Bart (Robert John Burke) has really been alive these past three years. Bart’s no-longer-widow, Serena’s mother Lily (Kelly Rutherford), now married to Dan’s dad Rufus (Matthew Settle), has been having her own issues this year, both in her marriage and over the disposition of her recently-deceased mother’s considerable estate, which has awoken the enmity of her long-lost niece Lola (Ella Rae Peck)—currently dating Nate, as though anyone cares—and Lola’s impersonator, Ivy (Kaylee DeFer), which is a story way too long and improbable to go into here. Serena, meanwhile, was working for Diana and Nate at their online newspaper, then took over the mantle of the titular Gossip Girl for a while, dispensing the news of the day about the doings of the Upper East Side’s notable denizens, until her laptop was stolen back by the real GG; a laptop, not incidentally, onto which Serena had painstakingly scanned the many pages of her supposedly best-friend Blair’s private multi-volume diary, in a peculiarly time-consuming tantrum over the Dan/Blair situation. Elsewhere, Dan was offered a prestigious writing fellowship thingy in Italy, turned it down so he could work on his relationship with Blair, then decided to take it and asked her to accompany him to Europe for the summer. After much deliberation, she accepted. And then pages of her diary started to appear as Gossip Girl blasts…

(Yes, I know. Ludicrous that I was still watching even at this point, isn’t it?)

Then, the finale. To deal with the elder generation first: Bart Bass is at first all loving-papa-returned-to-the-fold with Chuck, exactly as we didn’t remember him being, but then showed his true colors and turned on his son—who, let’s remember, he left twisting in the wind, thinking himself orphaned at seventeen —coldly taking back control of his company and railing against Chuck’s love of Blair. Meanwhile Lily, who has undergone a complete character assassination at the hands of the writers this year, has dumped Rufus and apparently welcomed Bart back from the dead—despite the fact that he just ousted her beloved adopted son Chuck from Bass Industries and is a massive douche. Lola and Ivy like her about as much as we all do at this point, and are plotting to do her a mischief next season—something Lola neglected to tell her boyfriend Nate before heading off on tour with the traveling company of Wicked, despite the fact that he asked her to move in with him. (Again, as though anyone cares.) But over in the more what-the-hell-are-you-freaking-kidding-me-you-bastards? side of things, Blair is understandably upset at Serena’s betrayal over the diary pages and these two best frenemies have what appears to be a permanent falling out. At the same time, diary pages continue to appear on Gossip Girl, which leads to two things: a) Serena scheming to convince Dan that Blair is in love with Chuck and then successfully seducing Dan while filming it for later Blair-destroying purposes; and b) Blair choosing Chuck over Dan – despite Dan making her feel “strong” and “safe”—but getting shot down hard because Chuck is throwing a hissy-fit over his callous father’s rejection of him, all of which he attributes to Blair, instead of to the fact that his father, hello, massive douche.

So, here’s how our lead characters end up:

Chuck and Blair in The Return of the RingChuck: Running from Blair and plotting with his eminently untrustworthy Uncle Jack (Desmond Harrington) in order to take back Bass Industries. (Their foolproof plan: cheating at cards!)

Blair: Bereft of her two best friends, Serena and Dan, she is in Europe and about to take the reigns of her mother’s fashion empire but is still validating herself only in her attractiveness to Chuck, and therefore decides to shamelessly stalk him.

Dan: Deleting Blair’s e-mails, telling Serena that he never wants to see her again, and then conspiring with the hateful Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg)—who has, in the past, done far worse things to him than either Serena or Blair—in order to write another best-selling tell-all book about the Upper East Side. (Oh, did I mention? Dan’s a best-selling author now!)

Nate: Um…who can remember? Sure, he’s so perfect-looking as to be practically living art, but there is hardly a character on television more tedious than Nate Archibald.

Serena: Having perhaps permanently lost the trust of Blair and Dan through her own vanity, and selfishness, and general unworthiness as a person, she is last seen on a train out of the city getting felt up by some random creepy guy in exchange for a vial of suspicious white powder.

So, everyone is pretty much back where they started—or are manifestly worse than they have ever been, thereby dispensing with any shred of emotional growth we have seen in any of them at any point throughout the past five years. Each one is suddenly the very worst edition of their worst self: Serena, in particular, is a caricature, and the bleak look on her beautiful face as she descends into utter self-destruction isn’t, at a guess, acting, but Blake Lively overcome with despair that she has to spout such idiocy for a whole other season, contractual obligations being what they are.

Serena and Dan have sex on a bar in Gossip Girl Season 5Blessedly (both for her and, I now think, the world at large), Season 6 will be the show’s last. And it is a season I assuredly will not be watching. I don’t care if I happen to catch a CW teaser during, say, Nikita and it hints at the possibility of a Dan/Blair return to wisecracking form. I don’t care if I see internet rumblings about the forthcoming flaying alive of Georgina, or an episode devoted entirely to the doings of Blair’s spunky Polish helpmeet Dorota (Zuzanna Szadkowski). Not even the triumphant return of my beloved Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) would get me back on board at this point, after this truly abysmal effort. After all, as I said in one of my previous posts on the subject of Gossip Girl: “…seriously: if Dan and Serena get back together again, show…that’s it. We’re done.” Dan and Serena had illicit sex on a bar in this last episode. So that’s it, show. We’re done.

Wow. I feel…cleansed, all of a sudden. Renewed. Goodbye, Gossip Girl. Such unexpectedly satisfying words. Now all I need do is wean myself off ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars and perhaps I’ll feel like a proper grownup again. At least until the next group of impossibly beautiful teens captures my heart, anyway. But from now on I am jumping ship early and often, especially where the CW is concerned.

I will not get burned like this again.

I'm totally with you on this. I stopped about halfway through season 4 and got fed up. I was just... SO annoyed that, no matter what happened during the season, by the end, everyone was an a-hole again. I couldn't do it.
Pretty Little Liars, thus far, isn't too bad. We'll see how it goes this season I guess. Their main thing is that they just can't come clean no matter what happens to them and it starts getting annoying but, damn it, I want to know who A is (all of them, since it's more than one).
Two shows that I can't wait for more of (one more than the other) are both based on books by the same author and, for once, the TV series is better than the books --- "Secret Circle" and "Vampire Diaries". I can't stand the books but I LOVE the shows.
And Ian Somerhalder would make a FANTASTIC Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of "Fifty Shades".

I've been watching half-heartedly this season, and it's because I couldn't believe the Dan/Blair relationship. LOL I had about 4 or 5 episodes waiting for me on Hulu, but when I realized I was looking at it like it was another chore on the To Do list, I deleted them and decided I was done with this crew. Thanks for the great recap though. You saved me all kinds of time! :)

@ FaeRhi

Tragically, The Secret Circle is no more. The CW officially cancelled it a couple of weeks ago -- I am so sad, since I have officially given up on TVD (damn Mikaelsons!) but was totally on board with Cassie and the crew. And Gale Harold! I miss him already.

@ Donna Cummings

So jealous. I wish I'd just read someone else's pained recap. Silly show. Silly me. Oh well. I'm in recovery now.

@ Amanda Pizzo

Stupid annoying Vanessa moved to Europe at the end of Season 4 after stealing Dan's book and selling it to a publisher without his consent, that bitch. Jenny, meanwhile, was forced to leave town after one too many run-ins with Blair, a couple of seasons back. And she was my favorite!

And yeah, Captcha. The curse of the modern age. But I believe if you register with the site (top right) and then log in before you post, you won't have to deal with it anymore.

Even though I knew Dan and Blair's perfect relationship would end, I at LEAST expected some kinf od break up, a conversation perhaps, a painful angsty scene....Nope. Nothing. Not a shred of closure.

Screw you GG. xoxo.

Thieves of joy! Love. Maybe closure will come next season? Eh, who cares at this point? (And yes, thank you, theirs was a perfect relationship! Glad I wasn't the only one on Team Dair.)

Thanks so much for writing this. I was hoping this site would address the finale. I was absolutely appalled by it. Not only because suddenly dropping the great Dan and Blair story like a hot potato completely contradicted the season and a half long narrative that preceded it, but because once again the Gossip Girl writers seem to be romanticizing a brutally unhealthy, arguably even abusive relationship in Chuck and Blair. It feels like Gossip Girl is turning into The Chuck Bass Show, and that's not a show I'm interested in watching. Throw in the fact that every other story on the show was handled so poorly as to be embarrassing, and I'm officially done, too. I can't remember the last time a show was so blatantly disrespectful of its fans.

The Day of New Beginnings, Out of Your Tomb!

I have been in the secret garden with the Lover of my soul.  A sweet smell and the cool breeze filled my room.

He brought me so deep in His Spirit and something new is born. I literally heard the sound of a baby crying. And He gave me the breath of life!

This is a word for those who feel as if they lost themselves!

They have put you in a box and everyone saw you in a different way and you tried to accomplish what others asked from you.  Today the new beginning will be birthed also in your life!  Hear the sound of a baby crying….  That new thing is here….

Papa is giving it the breath of life!

Papa says:

“My beloved child, I called you by your name and I knew exactly what I made in your mama’s womb.

My plans for you were already there, even before you know who you were!

During your journey on this earth much has happened and different people gave you a different mark.

And My precious gift to this world has been polluted with peoples thoughts and words!

Today I come to set you free!  You are Mine.  You belong to Me!

I wash you My beloved deeply in My blood and cleansing fire!

Come, come My beloved and dance with Me, for this is My heart’s desire!

I bring you back in the way I have made you in your mama’s womb, and I AM is bringing you out of the tomb!

Dance My love, Dance!  Breath My celestial air!

I AM pleased with you, and I care!  Come My beloved and dare to stand!

Come and walk in this new beginning, I AM is taking you by the hand!

Be as I created you!  Free from marks and thoughts.  Be as you are and I will open doors!

I have set you free!  You and I are one!  You belong to Me!”

Blessings and Shalom over you!

My friend Peter Muhl and I are co-owners of a Tandem Island and are having a blast. Last week we went to Lake Ontario and found some great winds 10 to 15 mph and 5 foot waves. The bolt that is on the bar to hold out the amas had broken and we ended up capsized a few miles from shore. we were unable to right the boat and ended up pulling it to an island where we were able to temporaraly fix the problem with some elastic rope we had. these bolts are made of plastic and I assume that they are sheer pins whereas Peter thinks that we can improve on it. The following day, we went to a hardware store and replaced these bolts with 1/4 inch steel bolts. Are we at risk of major damage with these steel bolts? By the way, during this capsizing, we lost a hat, sun glasses, our Hobie water bottle and some drinks that were in a cooler on the back of the boat.

Possibly. The plastic ones are designed to shear if the ama is impacted in a way that might cause worse damage. Should not fail in normal sailing conditions.

You risk is a collision of some kind or impact on the beach that "could" damage another part on the boat.

I strongly advise you to put the plastic bolt back in. If you ever run into a dock or pier, or just an awkward beach landing, you will for sure do damage something else if the bolt is not allowed to break. I have broken several bumping into docks, and over achieving helpers but have never broken one while under way. If you go to the post (The ultimate Tandem Island (hydrofoils,Spinnaker,jib,etc) ( viewtopic.php?f=69&t=33720&start=45) on page 4 there is an explanation on how to rig a safety rope that prevents the AMA's from folding in while underway, yet if you happen to hit a dock allows the sheer pin to break and prevent further damage. This simple rope only takes 30 seconds to install when setting up the boat, but it will for sure prevent any accident like you experienced from ever happening again. I use 1/4 inch dia stretchy nylon rope which work like a shock obsorber and is tied around the strongest point on the boat (the area around the mast is the strongest area on any sailboat). If I'm just going out in light air I don't bother putting it on, but any conditions or distance that is questionable or risky I install the safety rope. Like I said it is not intended to prevent the sheer bolt from breaking in the event you bump a dock or another boat, but will keep the AMA from folding in while sailing (turtle time), so you can safely furl the sails repair the broken pin then get back underway quickly. TI's come with a spare plastic pin right on the same bar right next to broken one. On the newest models they eliminated the plastic nut and replaced it with a cotter ring so if you forgot to pack your pliers (like I did) you don't have to use your teeth to get the replacement bolt unscrewed. To my knowledge you are only the second person to turtle a TI in over a year, the other guy had the same situation, He later thought possibly his sheer bolt was already damaged when he went out that day but didn't know it at the time.

Perhaps someone on the Forum can video themselves tipping and righting a TI and share it with the rest of us. I think someone posted that it is easiest if you fold one AMA in and bungy or tie in, then climb up on that AMA (obviously up onto the bottom of the overturned boat) grabbing onto the keel board then lean back and the boat slowly tips back up and over (being careful the boat doesn't hit you as it comes down , If the center board is on the wrong side and you can't reach it you can also throw the long sail line (the big black rope used to control the sail from either seat) over the bottom of the boat and use that to hold on to while you flip the boat (acts as a righting line). I have not tried it.
Hope this helps

Kim, Welcome, and good job with the recovery.

With a righting line and a little practice, I'm sure you and your friend could have brought her back up. There are many threads here outlining how to do this, and it's described in your user manual.

But one of the safest things you could do right now is put tramps on the TI. These will keep the Akas from folding in - even if the Aka brace becomes unhinged. If you ride the windward tramp in high winds, you'll prevent the boat from heeling over. You'll enjoy the heck out of them too.

Being caught broadside from a wave is always a risk though, regardless of how your TI is rigged. Steep shorebreak is usually what I watch out for.

I would reinstall the plastic shear pins and give tramps a try.

About the property

3 BR, 3 Bath, 185' Frontage And Deep Water Dock Plus Mooring.

Sea legs are essential inside this charismatic custom residence which is in 'Bristol' condition, and boasts built-in furnishings crafted from Honduran mahogany by the owner and local craftsmen including well known shipwrights and furniture makers. Most of the rooms are split-level to take full advantage of the 170 degree water views beyond the 185' frontage on the Damariscotta River. This property has almost every desirable amenity to make your stay memorable. It has just been made available for seasonal rental after having been taken off the market for the past 10 years.

The multi-level residence is entered from the private road and has a herringbone brick courtyard. Three wide granite steps lead down to a covered bridge spanning a moat that empties into adjacent gurgling waterfalls and small ponds. There is also stone stairs which lead to the rear patio and kitchen door.

The double door entry affords choice of the mud/laundry room or the entry foyer. This overlooks the bar entertainment area which is 4 steps down, and also leads to the stairway to the master bedroom suite above.

This central entertainment level contains a large mahogany bar with sink and 8' of cabinets with Corian countertop for buffet type dining. It opens to the living room (up two steps), the large mullti-level deck, and also down four steps to the main level.

The 20'x30' living room with cathedral ceiling has a massive stone fireplace, ceiling fan, large flat screen TV, stereo, well-tuned 6' grand piano, extensive library of books and music. The custom upholstery was done by the late, great Al Sherman. The sofa is down filled. The carpet was replaced this year with hardwood flooring.

On the main level, there is a large open area with cathedral ceiling which contains the kitchen at the rear and the dining area towards the water. Centrally is the island where most folk gather while waiting for dinner or helping the cook with the prep work.

The kitchen allows the cook(s) to join the conversations and boasts a brand new commercial Wolf/Vulcan six burner range and custon fabricated commercial hood. Adjacent to the stove is a special faucet for filling large pots. The kitchen has a glass ceiling for the afternoon sun and windows which when opened allow the sounds of the waterfalls to permeate the room. There is a pantry off the kitchen which also has a prep area and a commercial salamander (broiler). There is also a secret larder/pantry behind the well-stocked cookbook library, There is almost every conceivable utensil including baking pans, pizza pans, crepe pan, and large collection of cookware, bamboo steamers, with more large stock pots than most local restaurants. Also a wok, large paella pan etc. There is a Ninja blender, Cuisinart food processor, panini press, waffle iron, submersible mixer, mandolin (bought in Paris). You can even find four custom-made wooden sushi boards and tons of chopsticks. There is an excellent pepper mill. The kitchen is equipped with most spices and there is an herb garden on the deck.

The range is a 6 burner putting out 30,000 BTU each (watch out) commercial Wolf/Vulcan (they merged, so it's actually a Vulcan with Wolf knobs) and the 35,000 BTU oven is full size, holding one full or two half pans on each shelf. A special pot-filler faucet adjacent makes it easier for those with marginal upper body strength.

The dishwasher is the very best model Miele. The refrigerator is a s/s side by side Jennaire with ice maker. There are slate counter tops with fabricated large country sink. A second sink for prepping is in the pantry below a commercial salamander (broiler) which is used occasionally.

The dishes and coffee mugs are heavy and oven-proof. There are some china cups and saucers for the afternoon tea and cups soft-boiled eggs. There is an assortment of utilitarian glasses and the wine glasses are just basic (sorry, no Reidel stemware).

The master bedroom in the tower has a queen bed constructed like in a yacht with vented mahogany drawers below it and a comfortable mattress. The 14 foot high ceiling has intersecting beams and an original Hunter fan. It has window seating and opens onto a private deck (with awning) where a couple can share their morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. The master bath is in the rear of the room and is up two stairs through a dressing area. The tub is a reconditioned claw foot (skirted in a mahogany deck, with plumbing moved to the side to accommodate two bathers who each have a water view. There is a separate shower with two heads. All furniture is built-in yacht style and made from mahogany (including the drawer interior parts). Counter tops are Corian inlaid with tavle edge moldings. Some counter tops are inlaid with mahogany pieces.

The second 'master' bedroom has an antique double rope bed of tiger maple. There is a walk-in closet and ensuite bath. the 3'x5' custom tiled shower can accommodate two bathers and has a high bench. It has a water view (through the porch).

The porch is fully winterized with radiant heating in the tiled floor. Brown Jordan outdoor furniture ... what else. The mahogany door was designed made by the owner and served as the model for the double front doors, which were made later by the late David Margonelli (who helped with the original one).

At the rear of the main floor is the third bathroom with a similar shower and serves the third bedroom, which is a large loft tpwer suite at the top of the stairs. It has large windows for view and ventilation along with a ceiling fan. There is a double hand-carved antique bed and large stuffed sofa with matching chair. Originally designed for a pool table/game room, it overlooks the main floor, but has the privacy of a half wall (book cases).

There is a semi-detached timber-frame barn at the southern end of the property with garage at street level and artist's studio above. The owners reserve this for their own use.

About David Blumin

Karen and David arrived here from California in the summer of 1982 aboard their 44' Pembo trawler 'Pilgrim' and settled down in the small original log cabin where they were married the next spring next to their model 1015 Wurlitzer jukebox which played "Big Bopper's Wedding." The log cabin eventually morphed into the 'Log Castle' over the next 30 years ... the result of David's passion and vision aided by many talented and sometimes gifted local builders, architects, tradesmen furniture makers, shipwrights, artists ... all who gave their best efforts and ideas into the seemingly endless project.

David Blumin purchased this house in 1982

Why David Blumin chose East Boothbay

This residence is like a rare a jewel. It is interesting and inique with hidden surprises like hidden closets and secret rooms, many levels with nooks and crannies, yet has the ambiance of serenity and balance. It has every amenity one would expect in a vacation rental on the coast of Maine except a swimming pool or hot tub. New 4,000SF irrigated sod lawn installed in the spring of 2016. All carpets were replaced by hardwood flooring in 2016. A/C in the great room as well as a 7 foot grand piano.

What makes this house unique

The gourmet chef will love this kitchen which has a commercial range and oven and every imaginable piece of cooking equipment. There is also a wood-burning stove for simmering stews etc and an outdoor BBQ with rotisserie.

The private dock has 7 feet at low water and the float is only two years old; the aluminum runway is new 2015. The moorings have 3200 and 2200 lb granite blocks and the chains are inspected and replaced as needed.

Very beautiful and relaxing - excellent hosts!!

  • 5 of 5

We enjoyed the Blumin's hospitality, and loved the log castle. The river views, especially at sunrise, were amazing. The flowers and grounds were beautifully kept, and we spent as much time as we could outdoors. The log walls and ceilings are impressive throughout.

Highly recommended for a private getaway... Thank You!

PS-- East Boothbay General Store is right down the street and has exceptional sandwiches.

What a wonderful home and the owners were just the BEST!!

  • 5 of 5

We had a family gathering and we could not have had a more wonderful place to stay. The views each day were peaceful and fun as we watched wildlife and lobstermen.

The owners David and Karen were the absolute most helpful and thoughtful for all our needs.

Our dogs had an equally awesome vacation swimming off the floating dock. Thank you David for the steps!!

Fabulous Maine vacation home

  • 5 of 5

David & Karen have an awesome home in East Boothbay. It's the "real deal". Every amenity possible in the home with "working antiques" - so much custom work. The kitchen is a delight to cook in from blueberry pancakes to steamed lobster with sea water. The views from every room are amazing. We delighted in coffee and cocktails on the deck every day. The Boothbay Harbor region has much to offer. A day trip to Pemaquid Point, Monhegan Island, the Botanical Gardens ( a must) and tooling around Boothbay and all of the shops. Lobsters and oysters ruled the week. And kayaking. We had a golden eagle viewing right off the deck. They are very gracious hosts. We enjoyed them immensely. A great family gathering place.

Very enjoyable family spot

  • 5 of 5

We really enjoyed the view of the quiet river that was host to the local lobster fisherman's lobster pots. They motored through their buoys each day checking for a full pot. The kids even caught mackerel fishing off the homes dock!

The east boothbay general store was a great find for a nice morning walk to grab coffee and an egg sandwich or cinnamon rolls.

The home is packed with all the essentials and then some! What a kitchen and the views are outstanding.

The owners of the property stopped by and couldn't have nicer or more accommodating to our questions.

Great location to discover coastal Maine.

Great stay on the Boothbay peninsula

  • 5 of 5

Our family of 4 absolutely loved the property and hospitality. The views are spectacular throughout the house, and the accommodations in all 3 bedrooms were very comfortable. While we enjoyed the restaurants of Boothbay, we rarely ate anywhere except the house. The cooking facilities are professional grade, and with the seafood available from Pinkham's, it was difficult to justify any other option.

The dock is a wonderful hangout, and provides easy access to the invigorating waters of the Maine Coast. David assures me that he will facilitate an easier exit mechanism in the future - we had to be creative in getting back onto the dock! BTW - we were there for the perseid meteor shower, and saw more shooting stars from the dock than we've ever seen anywhere.

We did not rent a boat, which in retrospect was fine. But bringing a kayak or two would be advisable. bring binoculars! The sights floating, swimming, flying, diving, etc. along the river are never-ending.

Attractions nearby - don't miss the Coastal Botanical Gardens. Just don't. For beach access, consider Southport or Ocean Pointe. We rode our bikes to the latter, which is a hilly 4 miles along a non-bike-friendly set of roads. Still, traffic is light. The world-famous East Boothbay General Store is a short walk away.

Piano is a big plus.

Next year: golf, much more kayaking, and maybe a trip to either Monhegan or Squirrel Island.

Thanks D&K for a wonderful vacation.

Two Weeks of Heavenly Bliss

  • 5 of 5

We arrived to our "home" after a grueling 1360 mile road trip. Upon arrival a huge hug from Karen and David, the proud owners, awaited us. That is just what the doctor ordered. Ahhhh. To be out of the heat of the Lowcountry, South Carolina, to the cool coastal weather was such a welcome change. The simple fact of being able to have our beloved dog Darla, and our swashbuckling cat Douglas Fairbanks travel with us meant the world to us. Karen and David fell in love with them, and we fell in love with THEM in return.

We don't really need to give you details about the house since it is so clearly defined with honesty in VRBO web site. Absolutely nothing about this beautiful home was a disappointment. The gardens have been tended with care and the property is mesmerizing. We lost all train of thought every morning viewing the lobstermen boating to their traps and securing their treasures. Their process is very intriguing and most certainly educational.

Hiking in the Linekin Preserve every morning (with Darla) at sunrise (only a bit over a mile up the road) was especially sacred to me….we have NO mountains in Hilton Head and I thoroughly enjoyed to aerobic stimulation!

This home and it's gardens and property is so beautiful it was almost unbearable to leave. We felt this way even though we had two full weeks to explore, wind down, and regenerate!

For a day trip, we highly recommend a trip to Cabbage Island for a Lobster/Clambake. We usually don't do "touristy" things, but this was one day we will never forget. Please don't miss this one!

If you don't feel like cooking (and I am sure that will be hard to do with a gourmet kitchen at the ready), please check out Atlantic Edge. You call them, order how ever many pounds of lobster you need, and they will be cooked and ready for pick up within one hour. Just spread out lots of newspaper on the beautiful dining room table and eat to your hearts content. I boiled some red potatoes and fresh corn as a side dish, a gourmet meal was had by all!

Thank you ever so much to David and Karen for allowing us to share your slice of heaven. Your house truly is beyond words.

‘Hannibal’ Weekly Wrap Up – “Aperitivo”

‘Hannibal’ Weekly Wrap Up – “Aperitivo”

By Lynn Sorel

Synopsis: Alana, Dr. Chilton and Mason Verger are ready to get their revenge against Hannibal.

Our Thoughts: Mason Verger and Frederick Chilton return tonight for “Aperitivo”. Both of them managed to survive, miraculously. This season actor Joe Anderson takes over the role of Mason Verger, who was played by Michael Pitt last season. Many viewers may not even notice this fact, due to Verger’s disfigured state. He clearly takes inspiration from Gary Oldman’s portrayal of Verger in the 2001 ‘Hannibal’ film and is a very good fit for the role as well.

The majority of the episode takes place in the time prior to Will’s trip to Europe. It begins when he was still in the hospital following the attack. We also see Dr. Alana Bloom again finally. She too survived.

Just when you didn’t think they could squeeze any more characters in, Margot Verger returns as well.

The tension is palpable when Will runs into Alana at Lecter’s home. I’m betting that conversation she has with Mason later pissed off a lot of fannibals. It angered me at the very least. As does their unlikely new partnership.

Jack’s story takes a tragic turn, with some of the saddest scenes in the show to date.

The most grotesque scene this episode when we see Mason’s face during reconstruction surgery.

For those that have read the book, we know roughly what Mason’s plans for Hannibal are. For those that haven’t, you have quite a surprise ahead! I can only imagine what incredible touches Bryan Fuller will add to it! See you for “Contorno” next week, Fannibals!

    I have gone through the whole installation process of installing joomla onto my Server under ispconfig3. After installing and deleting the installation file as required when i try to get to the log in page i get this message on my screen "No configuration file found and no installation code available. Exiting..." Does any one know what i am doing wrong or what is wrong with my set up
  2. Mark_NL

    Mark_NL Member

    You missed a step in the installation, go through it again READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY and you'll succeed. You most likely forgot to rename some file or something. or ignored some warning the install script gave you.

    You have to delete the installation "folder". Do not delete the configuration "file".

Should ‘Riverdale’ take place in the 1940s?

10:30 am EST, November 14, 2017

Turn up the swing music, take out the poodle skirts, and let’s take Riverdale back to the 1940’s!

As you know, Riverdale is based off the Archie comics which debuted back in 1946. In The CW’s revamp of classic comic, they modernized the show while keeping bits of Easter eggs from the original, most notably Jughead’s crown. But how would the show be if it completely took place back in its original era?

What we would gain

There are several welcoming changes a show in the ’40s and ’50s could give us.

Great costumes and production design
One of the most noticeable changes would be the style of clothing and overall design of the show. With Riverdale’s already showcasing a somewhat stylized look, this change would be a good fit.

An opportunity to show off another view of the 1940s
It’s not often we see a show or movie that takes place in this era that doesn’t involve war. The Archie comics were very much a focus on teenager shenanigans. Having a look at teenager life in a small town with mysterious murders during the ’40s and ’50s would be a cool and unique opportunity that isn’t on television already.

Similar to what Mad Men did, having Riverdale be set in the ’40s and ’50s would shed more light in the era that can showcase the good and the bad. Television during the 1950s were shows like Leave it to Beaver and The Donna Reed Show which illustrated only the idealistic life and not the realistic one.

Great music
The music from this era are classic for a reason. How cool would it be to hear classic swing music from Benny Goodman and notable crooners like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby?

Related: Riverdale’s 5 best improvements so far in season 2

Overall be an unique show
You can say what you want about how great Riverdale is, but the truth is it is just another teen drama. Having a teen drama that also takes place in the ’40s would turn the average teen-drama on its head. The average age of the viewers for Riverdale certainly were not even close to being alive during the era, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be well received.

What we would lose

Unfortunately while there are many things to gain from going back in time, there are quite a number of important reasons going back in time wouldn’t be quite as charming.

One of the obvious draw backs would be the less than accepting towards the LGBTQ community, and overall equality towards women and non-white people.

As of right now Riverdale already still needs to work on being more welcoming to the LGBTQ community within the current season, but going back into time would very much be taking huge steps back in progress.

Women also have a powerful role in the show with characters such as Alice Cooper, Hermione Lodge, Betty and Veronica taking on way more than the traditional 1940’s housewife.

Also, notably, non-white characters were very few and far between in the original comics, and in the reality of the time were not treated equally. While the current show is still prominently white, one big change from the comics is Pop, the owner of Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe. It would be interesting to see more of a backstory to his character.

Also to note, Josie and the Pussycats was a comic within the Archie cannon, featuring Josie as a black character, but that didn’t come until the 1960s.

Cell phone and internet use
Riverdale doesn’t rely heavily on text, phone, or internet usage so far in the series but there have been very important instances where it has been used and would be impossible in the 1940s.

For example Jason’s murder in the first season was solved by finding a flash drive of a video of the murder. Without the flash drive or video, the murder likely would be unsolved.

Also, way back in the beginning of the first season, Veronica and Betty have a about 30-second investigation into finding out who Ms. Grundy really was. Even with the internet this plot was a bit unrealistic. In the 1940s it would certainly be much harder to find out her lies true identity.

What wouldn’t change

Riverdale in many ways is still a very classic and simple town so there are a few things that wouldn’t have to change.

Riverdale‘s apparent lack of TV news reports
While thinking about what would be different in the 1940s, 24 hour news reports sprung to mind…except wait. Does Riverdale have a local news station? Back in the ’40s there was this thing called “newspapers” that everyone read and little boys would sell on the street corner yelling out the biggest scandalous news.

As far as we know, Riverdale only has a newspaper. Betty’s mom runs the local paper and although we don’t really see this newspaper, it clearly is a powerful source of media in the town since Alice Cooper is not someone to mess around with. So a switch the 1940s wouldn’t affect the news reports in this small town…but it does beg the question, shouldn’t there be more interest from nearby cities? I mean there is a serial killer on the loose! A women was strangled by a cello’s bow!

Modern murder investigation
It’s also very apparent Riverdale isn’t quite up to speed on murder investigations and I know Riverdale isn’t CSI: but shouldn’t there have been specialists that could come in to take, I don’t know, fingerprints or something?

The 1940’s were decades away from using DNA evidence so Riverdale‘s old-school approach probably wouldn’t hurt the show.

The friendship
Not to get too sappy, but like the original comics the friendship of the core four would continue to be vital. There wouldn’t be any late night texts but this friendship easily would survive any decade.

Overall consensus

As much fun as the style and music would bring to change up the overdone teen-drama, the reality is, 1940s were not good to the LGBTQ community, diversity, or equality. Those are huge things to lose for a show that still is working on some of these elements in their present day setting.

However, Riverdale is a revamp and having a bit of modernized 1940s could be a cool idea. This is television! Why not have Riverdale take place in some alternate reality that takes the good and leave the bad from both eras?

In fact present day Riverdale already borrows some of the classic ’40s Easter eggs from the original comics such as Jughead’s hat, Archie’s leaderhead jersey, Betty’s ponytail, and various side characters.

But…we may have to settle with having throw-back parties and dream sequences to show off the original Archie style.

Do you think ‘Riverdale’ should have been set in the 1940s?

How to disassemble part#3(sensitization cable 821-0841-A))

I bought the part #3, that iPhone 3GS Sensitization Cable(APPLE 821-0841-A) online. It is not from ifixit because they don't sell this part separately. Anyway, when I went to the last step, I didn't know how to disassemble a small cover on the top of that cable, which means I cannot replace the new one I bought. Is there anyone who has similar experience? Share some if you did, plz.

There are several ways to pop off this metal cover. The easiest for me is to use the tip, point of a large size safety pin. Carefully push the tip under the top edge pressure tab of the clip and slide it keeping it against the very top edge of the clip. This will release the pressure tab of the clip. Keeping along top edge will avoid damaging the #3 flex cable. Repeat process for the other small tab if it does not release in first step.

Problem after memory upgrade

I recently purchased the following memory upgrade from Apple:

MD019G/A Apple Memory Module 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 (PC3-10600) - 2x4GB

For my MBP (Early 2011) 2.0Ghz

Installation went fine. The system booted ok. Everything seemed fine, when I looked at my system information it showed that the 8GB of RAM were running at 1333Mhz. Then I rebooted my MBP and started Apple Hardware Test. First test passed fine, but during the 2nd test I got this error: "4MEM/64/40000000 0x84486198". Then I turned off power, when i turned it on again, I've got a black screen with 3 beeps and 3 front led flashes. I tried to swap memory modules with no success. When I inserted the original memory back system booted up as usual without any problems. After that I reseted PRAM and NVRAM, reinstalled the new memory and I got 3 beeps again. Any suggestions please?

You have bad ram. The 3 beeps signifies that there is defective ram in your unit. You should contact Apple and ask for a replacement or a refund and then buy ram from another store like OWC or Crucial because they are much cheeper and have never come defective when I ordered them.

Hope this Helps

Thank you for the answer. I still can't belive that $200 "guaranteed to be compatible with your Macintosh" Apple memory is crap. I thought for this price it could be well tested. By the way, the faulty memory is Hynyx branded. On Monday I am going to call Apple and ask for replacement.

That is why I only buy memory from OWC or Crucial. It is roughly half the price and has never disappointed me.

Today I received the memory replacement. Everything seems to be fine.

Addressing Online Student Learning Environments and Socialization Through Developmental Research

Addressing Online Student Learning Environments and Socialization Through Developmental Research

Keywords: Developmental Research, Distance Learning, Instructional Technology
Chapter Preview

The university that provided the course and sample student population was a small public university located in the southwestern area of the United States. The course was titled INST 6137: Technology and eLearning and the research was conducted during the Fall 2008 semester, from August 2008 through December 2008.

At the beginning of the course, there were 13 subjects enrolled and, due to different personal reasons, four dropped the course within the first week, and nine students went on to successfully complete the course. Three of the subjects were male, and six of the subjects were female. Concerning the subjects’ ethnicity, one subject was African American, three Mexican-American, one American Indian, and five Caucasians. These students had several aspects in common:

  • They were Instructional Technology degree-seeking graduate students.

  • They had successfully completed a minimum of 24 graduate-level course credits (8 courses) within the graduate degree program of study.

  • All had successfully completed the majority of their graduate-level courses within the online learning environment.

The online course was designed with innovative course features, such as embedded metaphorical representations and innovative classical music underlays, to enhance the course atmosphere, support the learner’s developing conceptual frameworks, and engage learners in multi-sensory stimuli. Multimedia components were integrated with graphics, audio, video, interactive gaming, and web conferencing to help reframe basic online text-based content. There were also some activities designed to let students experiment with Moodle (, 2008) learning community features.

The researcher who was embedded in the course had been designing, developing and teaching online courses for at least ten years. In addition, the researcher had developed collaborative research partnerships with colleagues, such as the second researcher, who were interested in affective elements, like icons, metaphors and narratives, which seemed to mediate recognizable symbols with new materials and enhance students’ conceptual frameworks of understanding. The study of affective elements has recently become a primary consideration within online learning environments (Ahrlberg, 2008; Crawford & Gannon-Cook, 2008; Doyle, Radzicki, & Trees, 2008; Gannon-Cook & Crawford, 2004, 2006; Pink, 2005). The researchers sought to explore whether these representations could have any documentable impact on students’ learning in the course.

Setting The Stage

Much research on online instructional design has focused primarily on multimedia, assessment, and text, but researchers are now beginning to look more at topics, such as, what actively engages students, how can online students and instructors interact more effectively, and what makes an online class become a learning community? Dynamic learning communities encompass more comprehensive, multi-layered learning environments which include adult learner and sociocultural perspectives. This study conducts developmental research in a case study of online graduate students at a public university in the southwestern United States. The research provides detailed feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of dynamic learning environments, as focused upon the course design, content, and learners in online courses in holistic learning and practice communities. It also looks at the student reflections and evaluations that reveal their thoughts about this type of dynamic learning experience compared with prior online learning experiences.

The study looks at whether one of the reasons for the deep level of student comprehension (and retention) may be due to the embracing architecture of Web 2.0 technologies that is focused upon social engagement and the community of learning that help scaffold the course content on prior learning (Vygotsky, 1935, 1962, 1978, 1981; Wertsch, 1985). One more factor reviewed whether the inclusion of semiotic tools could have an influence on students’ receptivity to the content conveyed by new technologies (Chomsky, 2004; Cook, 1985; Cobley, Jansz, 2003; Gannon-Cook & Crawford, 2006; Hamilton, 1969; McLuhan, 1964 a, b; McLuhan & Fiore, 1967; Rothstein, 1995; Schlain, 1998).

Teaching Culture and Communication with Online Media

Teaching Culture and Communication with Online Media

As international online access grows, students are increasingly participating in a global community. Cultural groups, however, can have different perspectives on how to communicate online. For this reason, it is important that today’s students learn how to address cultural communication expectations when interacting in cyberspace. This paper presents activities and resources instructors can use to familiarize students with the international nature of online discourse.
Chapter Preview

While Internet use remains somewhat restricted to Western cultures, international online access is increasing with amazing speed. In fact, one recent statistic indicates the number of global Internet users grew from 563 million to 580 million in the last half of 2002 alone (Nielsen NetRatings, 2003).

In industrialized nations, Internet access and use is expanding at an impressive pace. According to one report, nearly 466 Swedes, 685 Brits, and 1,800 Germans open a new online brokerage account every day (Going for brokers, 2000). Additionally, some 60% of German adults, 54% of adults in the United Kingdom, and 43% of adults in France are now online (Measuring worldwide Net usage, 2004). In Japan, over 50% of the adult population are online, and the total number of Japanese Internet users increased by some 13.49 million in 2002 (AsiaBiz Tech, 2003).

The most astounding international growth, however, has been taking place in developing nations. In India, for example, government policies to increase online access have allowed the nation to become a leading location for software programming and information technology production (Kripalani & Engardio, 2003; When India wires up, 2000). Moreover, the number of Internet connections in India is projected to grow by as much as 11-fold in the next 4 years (Pastore, 2004). In China, similar kinds of policies have allowed the number of Internet users to grow from 2.1 million in 1999 to nearly 60 million by the end of 2002, and the number of digital subscriber line (DSL) connections in China is also growing rapidly (Greenspan, 2003; Section IV survey results, 2003; Wired China, 2000).

In other regions, such as Africa, the United Nations and private companies have undertaken initiatives to increase online access across the continent (Kalia, 2001; Tapping in to Africa, 2000). These factors are perhaps the reason for which Africa’s number of dial-up Internet connections has grown by some 20% in the past 2 years (Reuters, 2002). At the same time, Global Crossings Ltd. has completed a project that uses fiber optics to give, “multinational companies the ability to communicate with Latin America as efficiently as with any other region” (Tying Latin America together, 2001, p. 9). This development, combined with the world’s lowest Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) costs, could lead to a rapid growth in Latin America’s Internet usage in the future (11 trends to watch in 2004, 2004). Additionally, the number of individuals going online in Eastern Europe is expected to climb from 17% to 27% by 2006—a trend that could increase Internet-based outsourcing activities that are already expanding in this region (IDC Research, 2003; The new geography of the IT industry, 2003).

Unearthing Invisible Buildings: Device Focus and Device Sharing in a Collaborative Mobile Learning Activity

Unearthing Invisible Buildings: Device Focus and Device Sharing in a Collaborative Mobile Learning Activity

Recent research has identified excessive device focus as a serious problem in collaborative mobile learning as it undermines key ideas of learners engaging with their co-learners in context-rich authentic settings. Various recommendations have been formulated to address device focus in the design of mobile learning technology and pedagogy and foster students’ engagement with both their peers and their environment. This paper describes how some of these recommendations have been implemented and extended in the design of Invisible Buildings, a mobile collaborative game-based activity for schoolchildren. It reports the results of an empirical evaluation of the learning experience with primary school children, focusing on students’ engagement with their social and physical context during learning activities, and providing insights into their behaviour and strategies with respect to device sharing. Findings broadly confirm the effectiveness of the implemented measures and show good student acceptance of the tools employed and the overall learning experience.
Chapter Preview

Over the last decade our understanding of mobile learning has shifted focus from mobile devices and technologies to learner mobility and the social practice it enables. A key concept in this new understanding is context, created by the learner in interaction with others, with their surroundings and with the tools they use (Kukulska-Hume et al., 2009). As learning processes are inextricably linked to, and located within, a particular context, learning in context-rich authentic settings can make the learning experience more relevant and meaningful for students and help to bridge the gap between theory and practice (Rogoff, 1982; Lave, 1988; Brown et al., 1989; Engeström, 1991). In addition, the construction of new knowledge from concrete and detailed experience can help learners to gain a deep and multifaceted understanding, which in turn enables them to more easily transfer skills and knowledge to other problem domains (Spiro et al., 1988). Collaborative situated learning activities put additional emphasis on the social aspects of learning and require students to test ideas, processes and concepts with their peers, negotiate meaning, and in the process construct new knowledge relevant to their common task. Rooted in Vygotsky's (1978) and Bandura's (1977) ideas of learning through observation, communication and social interaction, the benefits of collaborative learning are now widely accepted.

Key to leveraging these manifold theoretical advantages of collaborative mobile learning is that students register, engage and interact with their environment and with their co-learners during the learning activity. Recent research, however, has pointed out that in many mobile learning projects where students share a mobile device to complete tasks collaboratively; their engagement with the environment and with each other is reduced significantly as they focus too much on the shared mobile device (Eliasson et al., 2010, 2011; Göth et al., 2006).

From an HCI perspective, where device focus and its underlying issues have been researched for some time (e.g., Satyanarayanan, 1996; Kristoffersen & Ljungberg, 1999), efforts to address the problem are generally aimed at reducing the cognitive load for users when interacting with the device. Earlier approaches in this context include Minimal Attention User Interfaces (Pascoe et al., 2000), which groups interaction tasks into interaction modes to reduce interface complexity, and sonically-enhanced user interfaces that balance visual interaction with acoustic feedback to reduce cognitive load (Brewster, 2002). More recent efforts include user interfaces that account for contextual information, such as enlarging touch targets when a user is walking (Kane et al., 2008), gestural input (Crossan et al., 2008, 2009) and Around-Device Interaction (Kratz & Rohs, 2009) for simple actions that don't require fine-grained interaction, and tactile feedback for situations where interaction with graphical displays is not suitable (Hoggan et al., 2007).

Göth et al. (2006) proposed the development of a mobile phone metaphor (as opposed to a small screen metaphor derived from the desktop) for the design of situated mobile learning applications, which takes into account the specific use context, hardware characteristics and network requirements of mobile devices. Unlike desktop applications which claim the exclusive and un-interrupted focus of the user, the mobile phone metaphor accounts for discontinuous use by requesting the user's attention when necessary and then switching into the background automatically when the user's focus is no longer required. A detailed discussion of task switching in mobile situations and its demand on cognitive resources is offered in Oulasvirta et al. (2005).

Product Overview

  • Dietary Supplement
  • 100% Pure Salmon Oil

Wild Salmon is a healthier choice than farmed salmon, which is often found to contain high antibiotic, PCB and dioxin levels. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and astaxanthin, wild salmon oil has a naturally occurring ration of EPA to DHA. Wild salmon is a better environmental choice too as salmon farms pollute coastal waters. The oil is extracted from already harvested salmon, using fish parts that would otherwise be wasted, thereby conserving existing stocks. Regularly tested for chemical residue and heavy metals to ensure a safe and pure source of fish oil.

Manufactured by Natural Factors to ensure safety and potency in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) of the FDA and Health Canada.

Before ordering from iHerb, I read some 'horror reviews' about the company, its customer service, etc. I decided to give a try anyway and have not been disappointed. The product arrived quickly, the quality of the product is great, and the price is very good. I did not have to pay the customs fee / VAT because I had purposely ordered for the amount that is below the starting sum that could be taxed. Overall, I am highly satisfied.

So these take a good amount of time to dissolve and are large unlike some other brand I bought Makes my mouth feel better (Xylitol on its own has this effect, a soothing effect). I have had some beginnings of gingivitis, and also have damaged my gums due oral tobacco, so I think any help is worthwhile. I have also noticed better breath. Perhaps it has helped with colds, and perhaps other things, but it is a bit hard to pinpoint for me. Minor minus is if you suck on these too fast, or chew them, and intent to talk right after it can make you cough. Just something to keep in mind.

Europe's 3 Newest Tunnels
Posted on:

2016 has been a very busy year for tunnel openings with a handful of new locations opening each month. June has been quiet on the new tunnel front, but last Saturday that all changed. From the 11th to the 15th there was a new tunnel opening its doors to the public every other day. These 3 new openings bring us to a count of 19 new tunnels opened so far this year! The total operational tunnels now numbers at a total of 104.

Opening Details

Weembi is Open

Opened in the city of Lesquin in northern France on June 11th.
This tunnel is the second 17 ft diameter wind tunnel to open - now matching Fly-In for the worlds largest. The two tunnels sit roughly 100 miles apart in a small hotbed of tunnels in northern France and Belgium. The machine is a Strojirna Litvinov made model with some new improvements to the design that are supposed to improve the wind flow quality. This tunnel is France's 4th public wind tunnel to open.

SpeedFly is Open

Opened in Mirosławice, Poland just south of Wrocław on June 13th.
Similar to Weembi, this tunnel is also a Strojirna Litvinov built machine. This machine uses "innovative technology SADR, which significantly reduces air flow resistance and energy losses". The main difference being this tunnel is a standard 14 ft model. This tunnel is Poland's 4th public wind tunnel to open.

iFLY Lyon

iFLY Lyon is Open

Opened in the south of France in Lyon on June 15th.
This facility is the 53rd SkyVenture tunnel to open worldwide. This new iFLY location is part of the iFLY France group which is also involved with the iFLY Paris project. That project is scheduled to open later this year. This tunnel is a 14 ft ground level tunnel with a custom building plan compared to what we see in the USA. This tunnel is France's 5th public wind tunnel to open.

See the competition highlights from the WISC 2016 competition held at FlySpot. The video is by Krzysztof Soltyk who is a proud father of competitor Andrzej Soltyk.

"Josh Ruiz-Velasco and Andrzej Soltyk met at Flyspot, Warsaw in January of 2016. Josh was working at the tunnel to pursue his dream of becoming one of the world's best indoor and outdoor skydivers. Andrzej was practicing his flying skills for the same reason. Together they are the Vipers. Josh and Andrzej share an intense passion for indoor skydiving, spending as much of their free time in the tunnel as possible. This passion is what drives the Vipers. Josh has participated in 15 competitions with various teammates. Andrzej has 7 competitions under his belt--in only 2 years. They are a perfect match, giving their all to the sport, pushing each other to their breaking points, enjoying each other's company, and even going as far as to call each other brother. Although Andrzej is still underage for outdoor competition, the Vipers have plans to tackle that field as well."
