The invention relates to an automatic loader for an armored vehicle having a rotatable turret adapted to feed vertically stored projectiles from a storage magazine into the loading chamber of a large caliber weapon from which it can be inserted into the gun barrel by means of a rammer. The arrangement of the invention provides a rapid transporting of the vertically stored ammunition from a space saving storage position to a loaded ready to fire position.
The automatic loader of the invention includes an automatically driven endless ammunition magazine at least partially mounted within a predetermined outer elevation of the turret and within a predetermined inner elevation region of the vehicle trough. This magazine is separated from the personnel chamber of the armored vehicle by means of armored walls and includes a loading tray which is connected to a feeder for pivotally transporting a vertically stored projectile into a loading position from which it can be slid into the gun barrel of the weapon by means of the rammer. The loading tray functions as a partial ammunition container of the ammunition magazine as well as a feeder for the projectile. The magazine is independently rotatable with respect to the rotatable turret by means of a roller bearing.
1. In an armored vehicle, said vehicle having a rotatable turret which has an uppermost region visible from the outside, an improved automatic loader for transporting projectiles, said projectiles being vertically stored in said vehicle and being movable from an endless band automatically driven magazine which extends into said uppermost region to a position in the loading chamber of a large caliber weapon from which it is slid into the gun barrel of the weapon by means of rammer means, the improvement comprising
(a) said endless band automatically driven magazine being operatively mounted in said uppermost region in a trough portion of the armored vehicle which is disposed immediately below said uppermost region of the rotatable turret and on one side of the longitudinal axis of the gun barrel, encircled by a partition wall, said armored vehicle also including a personnel chamber which is separated from said uppermost region and trough of said armored vehicle and is located on the other side of the lognitudinal axis of the gun barrel;
(b) a plurality of projectiles being stored in said magazine in a first vertical position, feeding means being operatively mounted in said armored vehicle for successively grasping projectiles stored in said magazine in said first position and transporting them by means of a pivotal movement into a second loading position in said loading chamber; said feeding means being pivotally mounted in said armored vehicle about a horizontal shaft and located between the longitudinal axis of the gun barrel and the magazine;
and first driving means operatively connected to said feeding means for pivoting them about said horizontal shaft;
(c) loading tray means operatively mounted in said armored vehicle, said feeding means operatively connected to said loading tray means ;
(d) said loading tray means being movable by said first driving means via said feed means by being swung upwardly toward the turret, and
(e) said loading tray means being movable from a first vertical upright position in which position projectiles are stored through a first arc in which said tray remains normal to a first plane to an intermediate position and through a second arc in a second plane to a loading position, said first and second planes being normal to each other and said loading position being disposed in axial alignment with the gun barrel.
2. The improvement in an automatic loader for an armored motor vehicle as set forth in claim 1, in which said endless band magazine comprises two arcuately formed parallel feed paths along which projectiles are transported in an essentially vertically upright position, said projectiles being received by said load tray means at the rear turning point of said endless band magazine.
3. The improvement in an automatic loader for an armored motor vehicle as set forth in claim 1, wherein said second plane is defined by the swinging movement of said load tray means via a swing lever of said feeding means about said horizontal shaft and said first plane is defined by the swinging movement of said load tray means about said swing lever.
4. The improvement in an automatic loader for an armored motor vehicle as set forth in claim 3, wherein said load tray means is fixedly connected to a support shaft which is parallel to said swing lever and is normal with respect to said horizontal shaft, said support shaft being operatively connected to said swing lever via second driving means so that the loading tray means and projectile mounted therein are transported from said upright vertical position into said intermediate position by means of said second driving means about said support shaft, and said loading tray means and projectile mounted thereon are swung upwardly from said intermediate position by means of said first driving means to said loading position.
This is a division of application Ser. No. 617,677, filed June 5, 1984, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,632,011.
The invention pertains to an automatic loader for an armored vehicle.
Such automatic loaders are for example disclosed in German published application No. 30 17 323 and in U.S. Pat. No. 4,391,179. In this known automatic loader for a large caliber weapon a rammer or device for driving a projectile into the breech of the gun barrel is required which projectiles are moved into a sliding-in position in the turret of the vehicle. These projectiles are arranged in a turret-fixed magazine in a vertical stack and must then be turned one after the other and transported by a plural transporting arrangement towards the gun barrel. The projectiles are first, after leaving the magazine transported in a vertical direction, then rotated in a rotating arrangement and before they are placed on a lifting arrangement for vertical transporting and then must be laterally slid in a sliding arrangement. Such automatic loaders require for the various transport arrangements a high mechanical and constructional input which causes the drawback of frequent malfunctioning and requires a large space. Such transport arrangements are heavy which negatively influences the armor for the vehicle, respectively the weight of the armored vehicle, and require for the travel of the projectile via the numerous transport stations an inordinately large transportation time.
It is an object of this invention to provide an automatic loader of the afore-described type which achieves with a simpler construction and less dead weight a rapid fire readiness for vertically stacked ammunition and which automatic loader transports this ammunition quickly and in a space-saving manner from a secure storage position into a firing position.
The automatic loader of this invention has the decisive advantage that vertically stacked projectiles are transported into a fire-ready position by means of a feed arrangement which moves exclusively swingable. By virtue of the fact that the novel construction of the automatic loader is space-saving and light, it is particularly suitable for coaction with a large caliber high output cannon mounted on a wheeled armored cannon.
In view of the reduced space requirement of the automatic loader of this invention there is achieved a particularly small and low turret silhouette, within which, dependent on the automatic flow of ammunition, a reduced manning of the turret by only two persons is achieved, who may operate the weapon while being seated one behind the other or one next to the other in one or more rooms which are in communication with each other and which are separated from the ammunition magazine by armored walls. When comparing this novel construction with that of German published application No. DE-OS No. 30 17 323 one can note that the seating arrangement of the novel arrangement of the invention makes for a relatively shorter turret silhouette because with the known turret the driver of the armored vehicle must be disposed behind the space for the recoiling gun barrel.
By means of the automatically driven endless magazine in accordance with this invention which extends into the exteriorly visible turret region, there is also obtained the further advantage of a directly swinging-in of the projectile into the load-ready position, whereby in a particularly advantageous manner a loading tray, acting as a magazine holder, transports the projectile directly into the load-ready position.
With these and other objects in view, which will become apparent in the following detailed description, the present invention, which is shown by example only, will be clearly understood in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view along the plane I--I of FIG. 3 which plane passes through the axis a carousel-like magazine combined with an automatic loader within a rotatable armored turret;

FIG. 10 is a partial cross-sectional view in the direction of the arrow X in FIG. 8 which illustrates the feed arrangement which is swingable in two planes.
FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate a first embodiment of a turret 3 which is rotatably mounted in the vehicle trough 5. An automatic loader includes in combination a magazine 1 and feed arrangement 16 for a gun barrel 13. The gun barrel 13 is operatively arranged in the middle of a weapon shaft 36 accessible to the exterior at the armored turret 3 and is supported by a known turret-fixed cradle support 58 and a known elevation adjustment cylinder 59. The weapon shaft 36 avoids that the gun barrel 13 influences (increases) the outer turret height because, during a swinging movement of the recoiling gun barrel 13, the gun barrel 13 may exit from the turret-contour. The gun barrel 13 is adapted to swing about the trunnion 60 of the cradle support 58 mounted on the bottom member 54 about an angle alpha. A personnel chamber 6 is divided into two halves by the weapon shaft 36 and these two halves of the chamber are in communication with each other via a communication tunnel 42, disposed underneath the weapon shaft 36, for purposes of direct contact between the commander and the gunner of the armored vehicle. The turret 3 is concentrically mounted in the turret trough 5 in a known manner for purposes of centering the turret 3 in the region b and simultaneously supporting the turret 3 in the outer region a. The turret 3 is rotatable about the middle axis 27 by means of a non-illustrated drive.
The turret 3 is equipped with an observation and aiming arrangement 55 within the elevation adjustment range an inlet and an escape hatch 56, as well as a shielded machine gun 57, as well as a further non-illustrated machine gun, the function of which is not relevant to the invention and therefore is not further described in detail. Separate fold-down shields 62 at the turret mouth region make possible the mounting of machine guns on both sides of the gun barrel 13, while obtaining a circumferential protection for the bearing support of the trunnion 60, the arrangement of the shielded machine gun 57 and an auxiliary aiming barrel 63 for the gunner which is mechanically coupled to the gun barrel.
The gun barrel 13, which is elevationally adjustable about the angular range (α+γ) about the cradle support 58 assumes an index position 14 corresponding to an elevation angle β which is necessary for the loading procedure. In this position 14 the load chamber 12 of the gun barrel 13, after release of the wedge breech block 31, so that a new projectile 15 can be slid in, is placed in readiness by means of a rammer 64 which constitutes an extension of the gun barrel 13 along the gun barrel axis 51. The rammer 64 is illustrated as a chain rammer in FIG. 4 and is mounted within the elevational region a which is mounted by non-illustrated mounting elements on the turret 3. The projectile 15 rests in the loading position 14 on a loading tray 8 of the feed arrangement 16.
The feed arrangement 16 is pivotally mounted in the elevational range a of the turret 3 about a shaft 22, whereby the shaft 22 is mounted horizontally in a shaft support 26 of a support member 28 secured to the turret 3. The support member 28 consists essentially of two ring-like support halves, whereby one support half is joined in the region of the turret support bearing 61 to the turret 3 in the elevation region b. There extends from one half a holding element 29, shaped in the form of a pipe and joined to the turret 3, and on the periphery of the other support half, arranged one next to the other, the shaft supports 26 of the feed arrangement 16 are fixedly mounted. Via a non-illustrated rotational drive of the support member 28 the ammunition holders 25, forming the feed arrangement 16, in which the projectiles 15 are suspended, are rotatable carousel-like about the middle vertical axis 27, whereby the so-constructed magazine 1 can assume a projectile receiving position 10 independently from the rotational movement of the turret 3. In the projectile receiving position 10 the projectile 15 is by means of the ammunition holder 25, which is formed by the load tray and the feed arrangement 16, swingable from below upwardly by means of a not further described drive 18 (FIG. 4) directly into the load-ready position 14 which extends into the region 30 of the wedge breech 31.
Within the armored turret 3 and the inner region b of the vehicle trough 5 there is in a limited sense defined the divided personnel chamber 6 relative to the magazine 1 by means of an armored wall 37 which protects it from all dangers coming from the outside, whereby in particular the personnel manning the turret are protected when there is an ammunition file and when ammunition is exploding. In the region 38 of the protective wall 37 where it surrounds the rammer 64 and the drive 18 (FIG. 4) there is arranged an articulated drive 40 of a cartridge extractor 39 which is upwardly swingable and slidably inwardly arranged in the weapon shaft 36. When the gun barrel recoils over a path c the cartridge casings 41 drop into the cartridge chamber 39 situated near the bottom of the weapon shaft 36, which cartridge chamber 39 is swung upwardly by means of the drive 40 for purposes of expelling the empty cartridges 41 in the rear region of the turret 3. After termination of the loading process the cartridge holder 39 moves again into the starting position, whereby the rear wall 44 of the cartridge. holder 39 and a pivotable flap 45 closes the opening of a magazine hatch 46, via which when the cartridge holder 39 and flap 45 are swung away the feed arrangement 16 for loading a new projectile 15 is swung in the directions 24.
The communications tunnel 42 of the personnel chamber 6, which serves for direct contact between the gunner and the commander of the armored vehicle, is provided with an armor protected emergency exit in the form an escape hatch having a removable armor plate 43 which is mounted over the weapon shaft 36.
FIG. 4 illustrates the drive 18 for the feed arrangement 16, the rammer 64 and the drive 65 for the cartridge holder 39 (FIG. 1) in the projectile-extracting position 10 of the magazine 1. The drive 18, which is swingable about a shaft 34 that is arranged vertically and is turret-fixed, forms a form-locking connection with a unilaterally projecting member 32 of the shaft 22, whereby the loading tray 8 having a projectile 15 is transposed into the load-ready position 14 (FIG. 1) by being swung upwardly and is return-swingable into the extracting position 10. The profile of the member 32 can be flat on two opposite sides as is illustrated in FIG. 5, whereby a claw 33 of the drive 18 as illustrated in FIG. 6 is slidable over this flat portion as it has a central slit. Drive 18 assumes, during the circular-shaped further transporting of the ammunition holder 25 about the middle axis 27 of the magazine 1, a position which is swung outwardly in the direction 35 from the form-locking connection with the member 32. In the load-ready position 14 (FIG. 1) the projectile 15 is transported by the rammer 64, formed as a chain-rammer, into the loading chamber 12 (FIG. 1). The chains of the chain-rammer are, in the retracted position, received by the chain guides 66.
A further embodiment of an automatic loader being equipped with an endless and vertically arranged magazine 2 and a feed arrangement 17, is rotatably arranged within a turret 4, which is rotatable in the vehicle trough 5 of a gun barrel 13. This embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 9. Within an enclosed armored turret 4 the gun barrel 13 is elevationally adjustable about the angular range (α+γ) about the trunnion 58 by means of the elevation adjusting cylinder 59, whereby the index position 14 required for the loading process, as has been explained in conjunction with the embodiment of FIG. 1, is assumable at an elevation angle β. The turret is constructed in such a way that the gun barrel which recoils over a distance c does not, in an inclined position within the angular range α, contact the roof of the turret. The armored turret 4 also contains the afore-described observation and aiming arrangements 55 and 63 as were described in conjunction with FIG. 3, as well as an escape hatch 56, only with the difference that all of these arrangements are disposed at one side of the gun barrel 13. The personnel manning the turret consists of the armored vehicle commander and gunner which are both seated at one side, one behind the other in the personnel chamber 7. On the side of the turret which is opposite to that reserved for the personnel manning the turret, within the outer (upper) turret region a and the inner (lower) turret region b of the vehicle trough 5, there is arranged a band magazine 2 consisting of two parallel adjoining arcuate paths forming a closed loop. The projectiles 15 which are vertically mounted in the band magazine 2 are surrounded by a magazine housing. This magazine housing is made of synthetic material and has a protective wall 48, which affords a substantial protection relative to the burning ammunition with respect to the personnel chamber 7. At the rear turning point 47 of the magazine housing there is arranged an extraction position 11 from which the projectile 15 is transported exclusively swingably movably from a loading tray 9 connected to the feed arrangement 17 via an intermediate position 52 from below into the region 30 of the wedge breech block 31 into a loading position 14 extending therein. The projectiles 15 are further transported within the band magazine 2 by a non-illustrated drive and are swung from the extracting position 11 in the direction 53 and thereafter in the direction 24 by means of the drive 20, 21, and 19 illustrated in FIG. 10. Thereby the automatic swing movement of the projectile 15 which moves in the vertical direction 24, and which is maintained in a loading tray 9 connected to the swing lever 49 of the feed arrangement 17, by means of the rotational movement of the swing lever 49 about a horizontal shaft 23 mounted in the elevational region a of the armored turret 4 either by means of a straight pull drive 20 connected to the swing lever 49 or by means of a rotational drive 21 (FIG. 10) connected to the shaft 23 in the direction 24. The shaft 23 is mounted in a turret-fixed bearing support 67, which advantageously for carrying out the necessary swing movements is laterally arranged next to the gun barrel 13 between the band magazine 2 and the wedge breech block 31. The bearing support 67 can thereby receive either a hydraulic piston cylinder unit as a straight pull drive 20 or in a non-illustrated mounting the drive 21 (FIG. 10). When the loading position 14 is assumed by the projectile 15 it is transportable by means of the afore-described turret-fixed rammer 64 into the loading chamber 12 (FIG. 1).
In FIG. 10 the feed arrangement 17, pivotable about the shaft 23, is illustrated with a loading tray 9 which is pivotable about the shaft 50 of the swing lever 49 of the feed arrangement 17, whereby the projectile 15 is swingable in two normal relative to each other planes from the extraction position 11 (FIG. 8) into the sliding-in position 14 (FIG. 9). The swing lever 49 is thereby directly vertically swingable via the shaft 23 joined to the rotational drive 21 or a rotational movement about the shaft 23 which is initiated by the drive 20. The drive 19 and driven shaft 50 connected thereto are joined with the swing lever 49, to which there is connected in a form-locking manner the load tray 9. Thereby it is possible that the load tray 9 is swingable for assuming the intermediate position 52 by the drive 19 from the extraction position 11 (FIG. 8) laterally about the shaft 50, and the loading tray is thereafter upwardly swingable from the intermediate position 52 to the adjoining load-ready position 14 (FIG. 9).
The drives for the aiming arrangement for the gun barrel 13 and the armor turret 3, 4 as well as the drives for the automatic loader are preferably equipped with hydraulic drive mechanisms. It has been found to be particularly advantageous, when a high output is required, to use small space-saving constructional groups (cylinder, motor). For avoiding eventual danger of fire, there can be used as a transfer medium a non-combustible liquid.
The arrangement of combining an ammunition magazine in which the projectiles are vertically stored deep in the vehicle trough renders a number of advantages which are as follows: The automatic loader is disposed in a space-saving manner and includes a feed arrangement which results in addition to a reduced impact probability by projectiles on the armored vehicle also in an improved protection for the personnel manning the armored vehicle, provides a small turret silhouette, which is constructed particularly short and flat, and provides for a rapid automatic transport possibility of the projectiles from the magazine into a load-ready position for a large caliber gun barrel mounted on the armored vehicle.
Although a limited number of embodiments of the invention have been illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described in the foregoing specification, it is to be especially understood that various changes, such as in the relative dimensions of the parts, materials used, and the like, as well as the suggested manner of use of the apparatus of the invention, may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as will now be apparent to those skilled in the art.

Tink and I are somewhat torn between going to Mary Queen of Scots (Queen Mary, Long Beach) and the San Diego Highland Games in Vista. The Queen of Scots tends to be larger, but a lot more expensive (as in $25+ a ticket). The San Diego Highland Games is less expensive, but a longer drive. We honestly hadn't been to the games in about 6 years... so this year we decided to go with San Diego! The Annual San Diego Scottish Highland Games & Gathering of the Clans

The beautiful blooming tree really framed this shot
As we were walking past this group was being judged. They are judged on everything from form to keeping in unison to marching... not really sure how everyone did but they sounded amazing.
The caber toss is probably one of the most well known of the games. The short version is a guy in a kilt runs out holding a caber (log) and then throws it trying to flip it end over end...Some of these things can weigh up to 150lbs or more... I'm proud of my crazy ancestors!

Jeff Gerstmann and friends formed GiantBomb after working at GameSpot, who fired him in 2007 for writing a Kane & Lynch: Dead Men review that Eidos disagreed with. Management at the company acquiesced to pressure from the publisher (because they were giving the popular site lots of advertising business) and let Gerstmann go.
The Washington Times has an opinion piece that takes a shot at German Chancellor Angela Merkel's administration over what they are calling a proposed "Drudge Tax." The reference is to conservative Matt Drudge's popular web site The Drudge Report, which aggregates news from all over the web. While the flavor of The Drudge Report may not sit well with many, the concern with a new proposal being pushed by Merkel's administration is that it will levy taxes on web sites that aggregate content.
The company behind The Verge, SB Nation and Vox Games has managed to raise an additional $17 million in investments from various sources, according to GameIndustry International. The information on the new financing was disclosed in a Form D filing from CEO James Bankoff with the SEC. Vox Games, the company's newest venture, made a splash when it hired Joystiq's Chris Grant, Kotaku's Brian Crecente, and former The Escapist EIC Russ Pitts - among others.
Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has done something that no other individual or company has been able to do in a long time: surpass the number of monthly visitors gaming sites IGN and GameSpot get. For the first time the for-profit gaming community site Wikia is the number one destination for gamers, beating out the likes of GameSpot and IGN who have dominated the top two spots for years. Wikia had 26 million monthly unique visitors last month.
Internet advocacy group Public Knowledge has launched a new web site called The Internet Blueprint. The goal of this new hub is to develop bills that will strengthen internet laws and ultimately make the internet a better place. The site is the group's response to lawmakers in Washington who asked Public Knowledge for input on how to improve the Internet.
Vox Games has launched over at The Verge, offering what can best be described as well-crafted and thoughtful long-form journalism. The gaming hub features top talent from such publications as Joystiq, Kotaku, The Escapist, and more.
ABC's popular late night news program Nightline, will offer viewers an exclusive inside look at the working conditions at one of Foxconn's notorious assembly plants on Tuesday evening.

Yesterday, we reported that French gaming site Gameblog had apparently been blacklisted by Activision for reporting that Amazon's French portal had briefly posted a listing for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Gameblog editor Grégory Szriftgiser spoke to Kotaku about what happened:
Activision is not a happy camper today as the name of its next Call of Duty title is leaked by Amazon's French portal, then quickly taken offline. According to the Amazon France page, the name of the next game is "Call of Duty Black Ops 2." The news was first reported by Gameblog.
A story by the UK's Daily Mail newspaper and the BBC that tapped an expert claiming that games were turning children who played them in to the wee hours of the night in to zombies has been debunked. The expert cited in the story says that the quotes attributed to him were completely fabricated.
The Daily Mail and BBC reports quoted Robert Hart-Fletcher of charity Kids and Media. According to the reports he said:
At the same time Future was laying off employees at multiple publications within its ecosystem, IGN was telling long-time video game site VooDoo Extreme that they could no longer afford to pay them to update the site. They asked them to stay on as volunteers, according to one staffer.
Here's what "Jube" over at VooDoo Extreme said about the situation in a post called "Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes - The State Of Our Voodoo Extremities" :
Yesterday was a bad day for anyone that worked at Future US Publishing. The company laid off 19 employees as part of a restructuring plan from various divisions including Games Radar, Mac|Life, MaxPC, and Future Studios. The company will continue to publish Nintendo Power, PlayStation: The Official Magazine, OXM, and @Gamer.

A prominent Iranian lawmaker is saying his country will never close the Fordo nuclear site in exchange for an ease in Western sanctions.
A Sunday report by the semi-official ISNA news agency quotes Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the influential parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy, as saying Fordo is a "center that will never be closed."
Fordo, southwest of Tehran, is producing uranium enriched to 20 percent, which can be turned into weapons-grade material.
Boroujerdi said that closing the center, a longstanding demand by the West, would mean support to Israel, Iran's archenemy.
The remarks came 10 days before another round of nuclear talks between Iran and the West, which have been stalled since May.
The West suspects Iran is pursuing a weapons program, a charge Iran denies.

INDIANAPOLIS – For the third year in a row, the North offense struggled in its summer football battle with the South.
North mustered only 223 offensive yards in a 27-6 loss in the 47th annual All-Star football game at North Central High School. The South gained 344 yards in its third straight All-Star victory.
The North has managed only a single touchdown in each of the last three games.
We did good early, but then things got rough and started to fall apart because we weren't used to playing with each other, Heritage quarterback Conner Sheehan said.
North Side running back Anthony Linnear led the North with 40 yards on 10 carries and caught two passes for 29 yards. Churubusco's Jason Nicodemus was the second-leading rusher with 30 yards on seven carries.
Sheehan completed 8 of 20 passes for 65 yards and was sacked once.
We started off on fire, but we just couldn't put the ball into the end zone, said Linnear, who caught a 26-yard pass on Sheehan's first pass attempt. Our defense played awesome, but our offense couldn't help them out.
The North's touchdown came in the first half with Brandon Rooze hitting Michael Whitfield for a second-quarter score. But the extra point kick was blocked.
The North lost a fumble and was only 1 of 13 on third-down conversions.
There were also six punts for 115 yards and one punt that was blocked which the South recovered, and it led to a score.
To add to the offensive woes, there was also a missed field goal and a blocked field goal.
Game MVP Aaron Daniel from Charlestown scored two second-half rushing touchdowns to go along with his first-half passing score for the South.
The South led 10-6 at halftime and outscored the North 17-0 in the second half.
In five years, they probably won't remember the score because we spent so much time leading up to this, said Snider coach Kurt Tippmann, an assistant coach for the North. Of course, everybody wants to win, and there will be some down heads, but you see they all pop back up real quick. Kids are resilient, sometimes more than coaches.
There were 95-degree work days, and these guys were still churning at it. It made the whole experience great.

SUNRISE, FLORIDA – For the grand majority of their 20 seasons of existence, the Florida Panthers have done little to instill a sense of confidence in their fan base. An average of two playoff appearances every tenth of a century tends to have that effect. A regularly changing ownership group doesn't help much, either. But the franchise's current powerbrokers know full well they can't change that with hollow guarantees, PowerPoint presentations or slick ad campaigns.
The only thing that will fill their 19,250-seat arena on a nightly basis is what they've consistently lacked since their inaugural season in 1993-94: wins, and many of them. Read more

Sometimes you feel out of place; sometimes the world swims. Let's assume alienation comes only from within and is of a moment or lifetime, 'cause the Hanger is about as friendly a bar as I've come across the past year. With the first drink ($2 PBR) came a pink origami-folded paper. It read: "At least you have your sense of humor . . . IN ENGLAND!" What does that mean? (Then, is it true?) They offered me candytwice. The name incidentally comes via the vintage and vintage-looking clothes (from designer Lona D) they sell off a rack, putting Hanger somewhere between a possible hybrid-trender and gimmick-pusher. The decor feels like a gloss on New Orleans parlor bars: Ornate mirrors adorn a papered wall, dark-wood tables and chairs mellow a red paint job in back, while the subway bench reminds us that it's more about being unique and resourceful than taking a concept all the way. On tap are Schaefer ($3), Stella and Brooklyn Lager ($5), and Bass, Guinness, and Hoegaarden ($6). There's something perversely affected about sucking Olde English out of a can, but you can do it here cheap ($2). You can also choose three whiskeys or Scotches for $12 and $15, and if you buy an article of clothing it's a dollar off your next drink. Stranded as it is between the L.E.S. and the East Village, the Hanger may never fulfill its Hip potential. But that's OK. Being original is as much a product of circumstance as primary intent.

St. George's Church is an intercultural, multilingual Episcopal congregation in Flushing, Queens, New York. with members from over twenty different nations of origin. A landmark church, it has served an ever changing congregation for over 300 years.
St. George's was organized in 1702 as a mission of the Church of England by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The group consisted of the Rev. George Keith, the Rev. John Talbot, and the Rev. Patrick Gordon, who was sent to be the missionary to Jamaica, Queens.[2][3] Keith, a former Quaker, went into Flusing's Quaker Meeting House in September 1702, announced his presence as a missionary, and engaged in both preaching and debate. This happened several times, and the subsequent early history of St. George's is intertwined with the history of Grace Church in Jamaica, which was where the first Rector, the Rev. Patrick Gordon, resided. Gordon was succeeded in 1704 by the Rev. William Urquhart. Urquhart held services in Jamaica one week, and would then rotate the following weeks to Flushing and then Newtown (now Elmhurst). The community in Jamaica grew into Grace Church; the one in Flushing became St. George's; and the one in Newtown became St. James.
Services were conducted in the old Guard House until 1746 when the first church building was constructed. A certain "John Aspinwall, Gentleman" donated £600 for a steeple and bell in 1760.[4] Francis Lewis, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was a Warden at St. George's Church, 1765–1790, and his son, Francis Lewis, Jr., was a Warden from 1791-1794.[5] The official union of the three parishes lasted for a century, and ended with the resignation of the Rev. Rattoone, when the vestry of St. George's decided to unite with Newtorn in hiring the Rev. Clarke in 1803. In 1809, the Rev. Clarke withdrew to Newtown, leaving Flushing without a rector and marking St. George's independence.[4][6]
A second church was built in 1821 and the present church structure, the third on the site, was built in 1854. It was designed by Henry C. Dudley (1813–1894) and Frank Wills (1822–1857), architects who were associated with The New York Ecclesiological Society, in the Neo-Gothic style. The great tower bell was recast at Troy, New York, using the metal from the original bell, and still bore the inscription "The gift of John Aspinwall, Gentleman, 1760." The parish received a Royal Charter from King George III of Great Britain, dated June 17, 1761. After the American Revolution, the "Prayer for the King" in the church's prayer book was covered over with the "Prayer for the President."[4]
As church attendance and membership began to decline and the population of Flushing changed with the influx of immigrants from Latin America and Asia, St. George's began to reach out to the new immigrants. In 1988, the Rev. Dr. Franco Kwan was hired to provide outreach to the Asian community and to be the Vicar for the Chinese-speaking members of the congregation.[7] Similarly, a part-time priest from another parish in the diocese was brought in to be the Vicar for the Spanish-speaking members of the congregation. Over the years, some critics have pointed out that the three bodies that make up St. George's (i.e., English-, Chinese-, and Spanish-speaking congregations) share a building but do not interact enough.[8] Because of his success in revitalizing the parish, the vestry of St. George's attempted to hire the Rev. Dr. Franco Kwan as its permanent Rector in October 1996, and the New York Times even published an article about the new Rector.[9] Fr. Kwan's appointment, however, was rejected by the Rt. Rev. Orris G. Walker, Jr., Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island. Subsequently, three clergy from the diocese and twenty members of St. George's congregation signed a canon law complaint against Bishop Walker, alleging that the Bishop violated the Constitution and Canons of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church.[10] Bishop Walker denied the charges,[11] and a Review Panel of Bishops appointed by the Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop ruled in favor of Bishop Walker.[12] A motion to reconsider the decision was denied.[13] The parish continues to hold trilingual services to mark special occasions, with readings done in English, Chinese, and Spanish, and copies of sermons distributed in those languages.
The church, the Old Parish House and the Graveyard along the side of the church were officially designated as City Landmarks by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2000. St. George's celebrated its tercentenary in 2002.
The September 16, 2010 microburst across Brooklyn and Queens destroyed the church's 45-foot wooden steeple which crashed down on top of two New York City Bus buses parked on Main Street.[14] It is unknown whether the destruction was caused by the 100+ mph winds or a reported lightning strike. It was rebuilt in 2013. [15]
From 2012, Rev. Wilfredo Benitez is the rector, priest of the church.[16]

I'm the I.T for 3 different schools, so usually ill travel to one for the morning then another for the afternoon. The farthest I go is today ( Wednesdays ) which is 40 km... roughly 30ish minutes. It sucks on the days were there is a "catastrophe" at one school and I'll have to rush there... then come back to the school I was at previously... then leave to the other school again. haha.
1.5 miles along a lovely country road that runs through farmland
5 minutes in the car or 35 minutes if I decide to walk it
4 miles - on good day about 10/15 mins. On a bad day 30min
8 miles - 20-25 minutes
4.7 miles according to Google maps and 10 mins journey
45 mile, anything from 45 minutes to 80 minutes depending on traffic and sets of roadworks I hit. Soon be another 10 mile / 20 minutes when I house.
Used to work 8 mile / 10 minutes till I changed job.
0.5miles - 10 minute walk... 10 minute drive or longer if I can't park!
About 3 different ways that I can go but I normally only use 2 different routes, currently using a slightly longer route which I believe is about 20 miles and that takes me about an hour to go from door to door due to traffic / speed limit being variable ie 60 mph on certain parts and then slowing down for villages for a number of parts ie 30mph and having to go through an industrial estate etc
If I go the way I used to go then between 20 to 30 mins but due to road works etc it is taking too long to use this route which is a pita as means I am using more fuel to drive the way I have to go now.
Distance - 38 miles on a normal day. If I have to go to meetings (regular occurrence) it can be anything from 60 to 85 miles one way.
Takes around 55 min to get to the school.
1.5 miles.
9 minuets by bike.
24 minuets on foot.
5 minuets in car.
Changing jobs at the end of next week and have to travel further...
it's 2 miles in the opposit direction!
Oh and I am out in the field, lucky if I do less than 100 mile a day too.
25 miles ish, takes about 30 minutes, if I drop off other half... Similar distance but add on 10 minutes. Most days we travel together.
3.5-4.5 miles each way depending on which site i'm going to.
42 miles Each way. About an hour each way
1.1 miles. 3 minutes in the morning and 5 on the way home. I have arthritis in my feet which is why I don't walk.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world.

Grammy makes few nods to the Northwest
The Recording Academy announced nominees for the 2013 Grammy Awards Wednesday. A few artists with Northwest connections — including The Lumineers and producers Jake One and David Miles Huber — are in the mix.
Seattle Times music critic
Nominations were announced Wednesday for the 2013 Grammy Awards. In contrast to recent years, Seattle-area artists did not fare well. However, Seattle hip-hop producer Jake One got two nods for production credits, one for the album, "Some Nights," by Fun., nominated for Record of the Year, and another for "3 Kings," a track on Rick Ross' album, "God Forgives, I Don't," nominated for Best Rap Album.
Beyond Seattle, Bellingham native Malay co-produced Frank Ocean's album, "Channel Orange," up for album of the year, and Denver band The Lumineers, which recorded its eponymous debut album at Bear Creek studios, in Woodinville, received two nominations, for Best New Artist and Best Americana Album.
The Lumineers' album is best-known for the catchy single "Ho Hey," which found an early champion in KEXP DJ John Richards.
Seattle record producer David Miles Huber was nominated for Best Surround Sound Album, for his record "Chamberland."
And Martha Gonzalez, a graduate student at the University of Washington, sang lead vocals on the album "Imaginaries," by the group Quetzal, nominated for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album.
Portland was represented by bassist/vocalist Esperanza Spalding, who received a nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album, and The Oregon Symphony's recording of "Music for a Time of War," conducted by Carlos Kalmar, which received nods for best engineered classical album, best orchestral performance and classical producer of the year (Blanton Alspaugh).
