  1. This guy does a good analysis, with good simulations of the accident based on what we know at this time from the flight data recorders.
  2. I don't see that working out too well. You just know some are going to aim for "TARGET".
  3. I think you're right. I had asked Lou Lou, the owner of King's Club about the meaning. Between his lack of English and my hearing loss I only picked up bits and pieces of what he said. But I remember now he mentioned something about a magazine, which confused me at the time as I couldn't understand the connection to the club name. Still think The Monastery, or even better, The Convent would have been a better name choice next to The Chapel.
  4. Lady at the new GC, Carre D'ass next to The Chapel said they open tomorrow. I couldn't find anything on social media about the new club. Any French speakers, what does the club name mean in English? Google Translate came up with "ass square" which I doubt is correct.
  5. Only the side entrance has a new name (used to be Sodom), and was still dark last night. I believe the entrance is to a different part of the building, separate from The Castle. The main entrance is still The Castle and was open for business.
  6. I must suffer from premature aging as I've been taking naps in the afternoons since my 20's. Not everyday, but often enough. Getting a refreshing nap in was made easier as I was my own boss for quite a few of those years. As a coder I would also work late into the night, so getting some shuteye in the afternoon was needed to recharge the battery.
  7. I'm not surprised at the result of this study. If I'm not up and moving around during the afternoon, but instead sitting in front of the computer, I usually zonk out for a nap just before 14:00. What’s the best time for taking a nap? If you’ve ever wondered about the best time to take a nap, researchers have found your answer: 1:42 p.m. This oddly specific time emerged from a new nationwide study that looked at how Americans nap and what makes some people better nappers than others. The survey, conducted by Talker Research and commissioned by Avocado Green Mattress, found that most people aim for a 51-minute nap, which would have them waking up at 2:33 p.m. But there’s a catch – napping too long can leave you feeling worse than before you closed your eyes. “As a psychologist, I see firsthand how sleep — especially napping — affects mood, focus and overall well-being. So many people nap the wrong way and then wonder why they feel groggy instead of refreshed,” says Nick Bach, who holds a doctorate in psychology, in a statement. The study found that naps lasting longer than an hour and 26 minutes – about 35 minutes past the “perfect” length – enter what researchers call the “danger zone.” At this point, you might feel groggy and disoriented instead of refreshed. And if you’re still sleeping after an extra hour and 44 minutes? That’s no longer a nap – you’ve drifted into a full sleep session. ...
  8. ‘You get one split second’: The story behind a viral bird photo
  9. The stairs as they looked in Dec 2019. IIRC, they didn't last much later than that. Not much point to the stairs when they really, really meant it this time, no one allowed on the breakwater.
  10. ST rooms for Tree Town? To the left of the above is a shortcut from the Tree Town area to the alley that runs behind Hemingways. There never used to be a gate until about a year ago, but it remained opened all the time. Now I see they have opening and closing hours. For those that like to swim laps, the Father Ray Foundation is a great pool for the activity. The jungle vine has it the pool developed a leak late last year, so it was drained and work begun to find and fix the leak. The 31 Jan reopening has now been postponed to the end of this month.
  11. And a few daytime photos of the same to complement our intrepid @Blue Streak's nighttime photos.
  12. I don't remember if the topic was called "Striderman's Stairs", but he frequently posted up pics of the current state of the stairs over the months and years. I have a few as well somewhere in my photo archive.
  13. Two sides of the same coin...
