Exercise tests emergency response capability
By Cpl. Han, Jae-ho
CAMP HUMPHREYS — Flames dance from a crashed helicopter as casualties cry for help, while rescuers and medical personnel speed to the scene to give aid.
This fictional scenario was part of the annual Full Scale Exercise, held here June 20-22.
The exercise served to evaluate emergency response abilities on post.
Notional incidents included an aircraft crash, a shooter at the commissary and a hostage at the Super Gym.
“This is an annual exercise required by the Department of Defense. Planning for this exercise began six months prior,” said Peter Park, installation emergency manger at the Directorate of Planning, Training, Mobilization and Security. Park served as exercise coordinator.
As part of the exercise, garrison tenant units and city agencies provided support and responded to various scenarios. Units involved included the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 3-2 General Support Aviation Battalion, the Directorate of Emergency Services and Pyeongtaek city emergency services.
“This exercise was very realistic and it required patience from everyone involved, including dependents and civilians,” Park said. “This year’s exercise was very successful and defined our capability. It was an upgrade from last year and critical capabilities of the garrison were evaluated. I want to thank Douglas Fraser, the Antiterrorist Officer and co-lead planner for this exercise, for his support as well.”
Flowers left on a park bench, beneath an engraved memorial plate for a woman who died this year, at the age of 64. Words on the plate include: "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain."
A great thought for New Year's Eve!

That sucks - I think Canon Should Learn with the competitors
I think Canon should dismiss their Product Manager or the Creative Director or their Marketing Director and learn a little bit how to do things with its competitor Nikon.
Do you think that a machine near the top as the Canon 5D MK II should not have many more AF points.
51 AF Points with 3D Dynamic Tracking AF Area against only 9 AF point with a few more assit point, that realy sucks !
Nikon D300 is a mid range product and Canon 5D MKII is a high end product , do you think so ?
Sometimes, Canon put me "disgusting" sometimes!
PT below - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Eu acho que a Canon deveria despedir o seu Product Manager ou o seu Creative Director ou o Marketing Director e aprender um pouco como se fazem as coisas com a sua concorrente Nikon.
Vocês acham que que uma máquina quase de topo como a Canon 5D MK II não deveria ter muitos mais pontos AF.
Segundo as regras do mercado diz-se que a Nikon D300 é um produto de gama média (semi profissional) e a Canon 5D MKII é um produto de gama alta (profissional), vocês acham isso?
A Canon mete-me "nojo " às vezes !

...of AUTO on my D50, not understanding what the mystical word aperture meant. Bokeh? Never heard of such a thing...
Today I scrolled through some of my 'old' stuff, or let's say stuff from my former self, from the days I hardly knew anything about photographing. There were some keapers, and I even had bokeh in many of them, how peculiar. I learned to look for bokeh in September this year... Quite the newbie here, oh yeah.
This summery one is taken in the last days of May this year. I remember that day, it was my first visit to our summer house for this year. And that is always special.
It is so much fun to go through older photos, done with the knowledge you then had. Before this autumn, the only thing I was aware of was angles and composition, those I knew how to do, those were the things I went for. Everything else was a big question mark.
So why this rendevouz today, why now? Because I'm supposed to be cleaning my appartment, getting all the christmas stuff on their places. I really don't wan't to do that right now, so I just sit here, surfing the net and postponing the hidious thing called cleaning up.
Excellent choice Hannah.

A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
A Gold 45 Goddess guards the wisdom of dx4/dt=ic -- my physics theory which appears on all the 45surf clothes. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:

Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!

"Rome Adventure" is one of my favorites movies since I was a kid and finally I got a copy of its soundtrack (love the main theme!). Silly story but I consider it one of the most romantic films ever made (just like "Picnic" from 1956)...or perhaps the 21th century days lost its romanticism...?

With my friend Paul, I spend five days in Osaka, Japan. The trip provided much refreshment, and excitement, not to mention many challenges. It was my first visit to the country, and, I feel, it certainly won't be my last, as there are still many places left to see, and so many new things to learn.
We had several destinations highlighted on our itinerary, the foremost of which was Universal Studios. We spend an entire day there, going on rides and more often than not, queuing for them. The excruciating wait times were worth it, however, for such exhilarating fun, especially on the Hollywood Roller Coaster, my personal favorite. The next morning we followed up that successful endeavor with a trip to the Himeji Castle, a place which came highly recommended by my colleague, whose succinct description of the heritage site was, "awesome." Indeed, as a history buff, I enjoyed walking the storied grounds and climbing through the maze-like interior of the keep which was designed not so much to comfortably house the royal family as to confound the invading enemy. The castle is a must-visit. Other attractions of note include the Osaka Aquarium, and the Tennoji Zoo; both teemed with animals of every shape and size. We also at length ventured into several shopping districts inside of which were myriad stores, selling all sorts of fashion and gadgetry, countless restaurants and several gambling parlors - the Japanese, it seems, love their slot machines as much as the Hong Kong Chinese love their horse racing. Lest I forget, we frequented several video arcades to play the latest and greatest games; Paul played well, while I more often than not got 0wn3d. There is a lot to do in Japan.
Japanese culture, of which I've heard so much, really is distinct and separate from other Asian cultures. Their patterns of action and their peculiar artifacts certainly aren't the same as those which feature prominently in Hong Kong. For one thing, the MTR culture was more civilized and less stressful: people queued up for trains and let passengers alight first before permitting themselves to board; cellphones never rang and cabin cars were as quiet as bedrooms at midnight; and to imagine all of these people enforce their norms without public service announcements, without any coddling, conspicuous signs - that's amazing. What proved difficult was trying to find a garbage can. It was easier to find a vending machine, from which one could purchase a variety of drinks or cigarettes, than a bin in which to dispose of these delectable, perishable goods.
As for the general citizenry, they were most accommodating and hospitable, with several individuals going out of their way to help Paul and I find our way around the dense sprawl of the city. Language wasn't a concern despite our limited Japanese; amazingly enough, our comfort was their concern! I won't forget their selfless service, as one day, I hope, I'll be able to return the favor. That the girls were quite attractive and that I demonstrated a propensity to ask attractive girls for directions go without saying; however, I understand now that their sexiness and sophistication stem not from comely faces but coherent attire. Rather than adorn themselves like a typical Mong Kok girl in a ridiculous neon rainbow palette, with jeans or unseemly spandex underneath dresses, skirts or other tops better left to stand alone, Japanese girls opt for more somber, sensible colors - black and cream-colored - and what's more, they aren't afraid to whip out the tasteful pantyhose or to show some skin, even. We had plenty of time to ogle the ladies, and to their credit, freezing temperatures weren't enough to dissuade many of them from forsaking, icing their shorts, as we saw countless pairs being worn on the street. That's what I call fashion professionalism!
Overall, Japan is a marvelous little land full of the eccentric, as well as the endearing. It was a fascinating place to explore, and I'm thankful that it was done in the company of my friend , with whom candor was not at a premium. We both learned a lot and look forward to the next trip!

CAMP HUMPHREYS — Summer vacation has come to a close and Humphreys American School (HAS) welcomed children back here on Monday morning, Aug. 27.
All elementary and middle school students with their parents were welcomed by HAS Principal Joyce Diggs and Colonel Darin S. Conkright, United States Army Garrison Humphreys Commander, at the bell-ringing ceremony. This traditional gathering is an opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and their families to formally usher in the year and welcome new members of Camp Humphreys community to the campus.
“The ringing of the school year brings the whole school together and starts the new (school) year in a good cheerful way. That is the way in which we welcome each other,” said Elena Johnson, the school librarian.
In his speech, Conkright emphasized the importance of reading and physical fitness for students.
“Anytime you can read and you have chance to, do it. It is much more fun than watching TV,” he said. “If you do those things, everything else in life is easy, I promise,” he added.
At the end of the brief ceremony children, parents and teachers yelled out ‘Yeah’ while HAS principal and the Garrison Commander rang the bell which represents the official opening of the new school year.
After the ceremony, students proceeded to their classrooms and got the opportunity to get to know their new classmates and teachers. They also got introduced to teacher’s rules, regulations and expectations.
“During the first day there a lot of administrative things that need to be done. But once we get through that we get right into educational components. I think it was wonderful that we had a sunny day and our garrison commander came and rang our school year for us. I think it was wonderful way to bring the school and the community together,” said Carlon Munroe, the elementary school teacher.
“The school provides great support and I believe kids are excited to be here. They are eager to learn and it is great. It is the best we can expect.”
RC Journey:Learn Different RC Aircraft Types
There are many different rc aircraft types associated with radio control flying, many of which you'll see at an rc flying club field. If you're completely new to the hobby and are wondering what these types of rc aircraft are, then this page will introduce you to them.
Remember that the word air craft covers all flying machines, not just conventional airplanes. Also bear in mind that the most common rc aircraft types (airplanes and helicopters) can be scale, semi-scale and non-scale models. These three terms refer to the reality of the model; whether it replicates a real aircraft (scale), is a close representation of a real aircraft (semi-scale) or is a completely made-up design (non-scale).
Whether you end up flying scale, semi-scale or non-scale rc aircraft comes down to your own personal preference. There are plenty from each category to choose from these days, a reflection of the popularity of the hobby!
The basic RC aircraft types
For the purpose of this page, rc airplanes and helicopters have been split into their own types; simply categorizing the two as aircraft types would be a bit broad given the variations available.
Collectively, rc planes account for the largest number of aircraft in the hobby. Having said that, the popularity of flying rc helicopters has grown tremendously in recent years as electric rc helicopters have surged onto the scene, and the gap between the number of rc airplane pilots and rc helicopter pilots has become much smaller than it ever has been.
Note that this page doesn't intend to 'officially categorize' rc aircraft - the following list is just to introduce you to your options...
RC Airplanes
Trainer airplanes are designed for learning on. They are conventional in design and basic, with the wing on top of the fuselage for maximum stability in the air. Trainers can be powered by electric motor or internal combustion engine, glow plug (nitro) being the most common of the IC group. Trainers are available in many different sizes and shapes and count for a large sector of all rc aircraft.
Sport airplanes also make up a very large sector of all rc airplanes. They are a step or two up from a basic trainer but can also be used for training purposes, particularly low-wing training. Sport airplanes, like trainers, can be any size or shape and are more capable of performing aerobatic maneuvers than trainers are; the majority of sport planes are mid or low wing, making them better for performing such maneuvers. High wing planes like trainers, generally speaking, are not that aerobatic.
Aerobatic airplanes have been designed specifically for performing advanced aerobatic maneuvers and '3D' flying. This type of rc airplane is typically mid wing with oversize control surfaces and motors (electric or nitro) that are more powerful than the airplane actually needs. Aerobatic airplanes can be thrown around the sky and flown very aggressively, so long as the pilot knows what he or she is doing!
Warbirds have always been a popular rc aircraft subject; their classic lines and smooth flying characteristics make warbirds some of the nicest looking rc airplanes out there. Not particularly suitable as an absolute first model, although there are some RTF warbirds available that have been developed with the beginner in mind. The term warbird describes a plane that was used in war, notably the First and Second World Wars. A P-51 Mustang is a classic example.
Vintage rc airplanes are a popular subject, particularly with modellers who enjoy the building side of the hobby as well as the flying side. Many classic designs date back to the late 1930s and 40s and are large in size. 3 channel radio and a 4 stroke motor make the best combination in vintage airplanes, and they are often slow, gentle flyers. Vintage planes are also known as Old Timers in some parts of the world, and you might also see them referred to as planes from the 'Golden Era' of aeromodelling.
RC float planes are increasing in availability but they're obviously not as widely available as land airplanes. If you have a lake close to home, a float plane can be a lot of fun but get some good experience at landing on land before you try one! Losing an rc airplane in the drink isn't a lot of fun...
RC Helicopters
Single rotor helicopters count for a huge sector of the rc flying hobby. Like airplanes, they can be electric or IC powered. Electric helicopters have become very popular in recent years and some are easier to fly than others. IC helicopters are much more complicated - and expensive! Learning to fly a multi-channel nitro rc helicopter is a serious business, but ultimately very rewarding. Of course, the larger size (eg 700) electric rc helicopters are just as complex as IC ones, apart from the motor side of things, and expensive too.
Coaxial rc helicopters are sometimes called contra-rotating or dual rotor helicopters. They have two main rotors that spin in opposite directions to each other. This cancels out the torque force normally generated by a spinning single rotor, and so a tail rotor isn't required to counter any torque. This makes coaxial rc helicopters easier to fly and often more stable than a conventional helicopter.
Other RC aircraft:
Jets can be powered by electric or glow plug ducted fan or miniature gas turbine engines. These true rc jets, with gas turbines, require a lot of flying experience and a massive budget - the engine alone can cost a couple of thousand dollars! Large scale jets like these look very impressive, on the ground and in the air, and sound just like the real thing too.
Gliders are aircraft without motors. They are the simplest form of airplane and require the least number of accessories. Many gliders do have a small electric motor in the nose, these are called powered gliders. But with a true non-powered rc glider you have to rely solely on the wind and/or thermals to keep the aircraft airborne. Flying from a slope is a popular way of rc gliding.
Blimps are electric powered airships. They vary in design, but all have one thing in common - a helium filled body under which hangs the cabin and motors. The best rc blimps have two or three motors that tilt up and down to control the altitude of the blimp, and rotate to control directional movement. RC blimps are only suitable for flying indoors, or outside on a completely calm day.
Quadcopters are relatively new to the radio control flying hobby and feature four electric motors on booms coming out of a central hub or fuselage. A tricopter is a three-motored variation. These 'copters are very stable and also agile, and the AR Parrot Drone is one that can be controlled via an iPhone!
Quadricopters are also sometimes sold as 'RC UFOs' but the term quadricopter has become more common in recent years. Toy rc UFOs are also available though, usually with a single motor surrounded by an outer foam body.
Ornithopters are aircraft that represent birds. True to the real thing, ornithopters are powered through the air by the flapping motion of the wings, and can look very convincing when in flight. There aren't a huge number available to buy and are not really that popular with serious rc flyers, but are good fun anyway!
Novelty rc aircraft can cover just about anything that isn't considered to be a conventional rc aircraft. The reality is that almost anything can be made to fly if it has the right design properties - rc flying lawn mowers, witches on sticks and flags are just some examples. These are true 'novelty models' and there are several manufacturers who specialize in this kind of rc aircraft for the non-serious modeller!
browse a good selection of rc aircraft types.
whatever your fancy, there are many rc aircraft types available these days and there's sure to be something to suit your needs! If you have access to an rc simulator you can try your hand at flying many different aircraft types without actually having to buy any!
The Phoeni rc simulator, for example, includes airplanes, helicopters (single rotor & coaxial), jets, gliders, float planes and even a blimp.
Flying rc aircraft of any type is an exhilarating and addictive hobby, and one that will give you much satisfaction - guaranteed!
