The thunderous roar of exploding depth charges was a familiar and comforting sound to the crew members of the USS Barb, who frequently found themselves somewhere between enemy fire and Davy Jones's locker. Under the leadership of her fearless skipper, Captain Gene Fluckey, the Barb sank the greatest tonnage of any American sub in World War II. At the same time, the Barb did far more than merely sink ships-she changed forever the way submarines stalk and kill their prey.
This is a gripping adventure chock-full of "you-are-there" moments. Fluckey has drawn on logs, reports, letters, interviews, and a recently discovered illegal diary kept by one of his torpedomen. And in a fascinating twist, he uses archival documents from the Japanese Navy to give its version of events. The unique story of the Barb begins with its men, who had the confidence to become unbeatable. Each team helped develop innovative ideas, new tactics, and new strategies. All strove for personal excellence, and success became contagious. Instead of lying in wait under the waves, the USS Barb pursued enemy ships on the surface, attacking in the swift and precise style of torpedo boats. She was the first sub to use rocket missiles and to creep up on enemy convoys at night, joining the flank escort line from astern, darting in and out as she sank ships up the column. Surface-cruising, diving only to escape, "Luckey Fluckey" relentlessly patrolled the Pacific, driving his boat and crew to their limits. There can be no greater contrast to modern warfare's long-distance, video game style of battle than the exploits of the captain and crew of the USS Barb, where the sub, out of ammunition, actually rammed an enemy ship until it sank. Thunder Below! is a first-rate, true-life, inspirational story of the courage and heroism of ordinary men under fire.

"Fluckey is a fine writer with a lively, colorful style. His book is packed with action and suspense and is rich in details about the day-today operation of a submarine in combat." (Publishers Weekly)
I am an avid eclectic reader.
This is a great story; it is one of those books that grab your attention immediately. Eugene B. Fluckey and the USS Bark sank 140,000 tons of Japanese shipping from April 1944 to the end of the War.
Admiral Fluckey takes his own memories and weaves it together with a crewman's illegal diary, reports, letters, ship logs, and interviews as well as archival documents from the Japanese Navy to provide a detailed account of the U.S.S. Barb's eight through twelfth War patrols. Apparently Fluckey was a brilliant, courageous, fair Captain most concerned about bringing his men home safe. Not a man was wounded onboard Barb while he was the Captain.
"Lucky Fluckey" pioneered new submarine tactics that are still used today. The high point in the book is a night surface attack through miles of shoal water to attack two Japanese convoys in a harbor in China. Fluckey won the Medal of Honor and the Barb was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. Fluckey won the Navy Cross four times, the Navy Distinguish Service medal with one gold star and many more medals. Eugene B Fluckey was a 1935 graduate of the U. S. Naval Academy. In 1989 the Navy honored him by naming the Nuclear Submarine Combat System Training Center after him. The only building named for a living person.
The narration is clear, concise and vivid. Admiral Fluckey is a good writer and the story is not just about him but all the crew of the Barb. The book is well researched. The hardcover book also has lots of photographs. The book is an excellent study of sub warfare tactics and naval leadership. If you are looking for an excellent book about submarines in World War II this is a book for you. I read somewhere that Steven Spielberg has purchased the movie rights to the story. Corey Snow narrated the book. Corey Snow does an excellent job narrating the book.
"Wow! There were brave men in WWII"
Yes. I enjoy military history. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and was stunned at the bravery of the men that went out in submarines
The Bravest Man - another submariner's tale, Neptune's Inferno on the naval battles around Guadalcanal and The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors of the heroic stand by destroyers against battleships in Leyte Gulf
I think the title sums it up: Thunder Below!
An above average tale well told
"Action, Excitement, & History. A great read!"
Great read!! Fluckey did a great job putting you right in the action. Those who were there are the best at this. The book doesn't just tell you what happened, it lets you experince it first hand. You also get to know the men on the boat. I feel like I have a bunch of new friends. This book would be great for anyone interest in action, excitement, and history.
The production of the Audible portion was one of the best I have ever heard. The reader even pronounces the word " submariner" correctly. If you have ever spoken to an old submarine man he will be quick to tell you it's "submarine-er" not "sub-mariner."
This one of several titles that have needed to be on Audible for a long time. If everybody buys this title then maybe Audible will add other tiltes like: Richard Kane's "Wahoo" and "Clear the Bridge," and Edward L. Beech's, "Run Silent Run Deep," "Dust on the Sea," "Cold as the Sea," and "Submarine."
I want more!
"So incredible it can't be anything but true"
Yes - the book is well-read and it's an amazing account
The first book that came to mind was The Caine Mutiny - but TCM is about a destroyer minesweeper, is fiction, and largely hinges on poor command, while this book is nonfiction, is a sub, and is largely about good command. But in both books there's a lot of detail about the day-to-day concerns of the men aboard their respective commands.
For me, it's often the little things. Fluckey's point about not appreciating being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor because it stipulates actions taken without regard to ones personal safety implying he took them without regard to the safety of his crew is an excellent point and really sticks in my mind.
Mostly, I was amazed. Of course, there's always some sadness when the crew has to split up and the command is over, as with any story involving people who formed friendships under intense conditions and subsequently parted ways.
One of the best WWII books I've had the pleasure of experiencing.
I listened to this book twice. As soon as I finished it I listened to it a second time. Great job. I didn't know anything about the Barb until I listened to this book. Fantastic!!!! I felt like I was in the south pacific during WWII. So many leaders get to be leaders by not rocking the boat. Sounds like we owe Admiral Fluckey a tip of the hat for being one of those unusual leaders willing to take the step out of the box, By doing so he did a lot to save many of our brave young men during WWII. Thank you Admiral. I like to think of myself as a student of the war in the pacific. The more I read the more I admire the front line marines, the prisoners of Bataan, all of our young men who suffered at the hands of the Japanese during that conflict. The pain and suffering those men went through unimaginable to today's generations. Then to see McArthur pardon most of the Japanese for their war crimes. What our men must of thought about that. Almost 70 years later we are still looking for German war criminals. But not the Japanese. I knew many WWII veteran's and even some WWI vets. They just didn't talk about their war. They just didn't. What a shame, My father-in-law won 7 bronze stars. His family didn't have a clue until his passing. Even his brother didn't know. How or why these men took their deeds to the grave with them speaks volumes to me. They just did what they had to do and came home and lived a productive life. What a generation. Tom Brokaw labeled them the Greatest Generation. He was right on the money. Listen to this book it is excellent.
"Not for Tom Clancy Tech heads"
Admiral Fluckey was clearly a great submarine commander and what he and his crew accomplished in the later part of the Pacific war is extremely impressive. The story makes a for an interesting listen if not a particularly informative one. My disappointment stems from the fact that there is so much interesting tech in a submarine but we hear very little about it. The book needs a few paragraphs devoted to the tactics, technical equipment and people used to solve the geometry problem of hitting a distant moving object with an unguided torpedo. He actually spends more time discussing the decoration on their celebratory cakes than he does talking about how they evaded depth charges or use sonar. Overall, a disappointment. I'm looking for a WW2 submarine memoir written to help me understand a bit of what the crew and their gear actually did to accomplish a highly complex mission using nearly steampunk tech.
I've lived in Austin, Texas, for over 10 years, not Houston. World War II is my lifelong interest since my father was a combat veteran in the 8th Air Force. I grew up with pilots, bombardiers, and navigators. They told me many stories of their experiences and I cannot get enough of books and documentaries.
"How to get things done"
This is not only a great WWII submarine book (perhaps the best), but an incredible inspiration to any human being about how to get things done. The commander was very smart, innovative, and unstoppable. Not a John Wayne, the management style of the commander should be a model for all military leaders and even business leaders.
"A Thousand Shall Fall" The intelligence of the submarine and aircraft commanders, along with their experiences, make the best authors of war autobiographies.
Any of the attack scenes. So many war books are about heading into battle blindly. It is refreshing to follow a leader that has a plan. Rewarding the crew with beer is the main thing you will remember about this book. Before an attack, an order to put the beer on ice signaled the seriousness of the situation and the intended outcome. The reader gets excited every time beer on ice is ordered. Also the cakes.
At the beginning. This is going to be more like Star Trek than human struggle. Off they go and the commander is like Captain Kurt.
Very well written and narrated.
"Good story, didn't love the narrative style"
Interesting read, not too technical. The story is written in a conversational style that often seems forced and excessive. I had a hard time getting into the story, but after the first two hours things picked up and I enjoyed the remainder. If you enjoy military history I'd recommend it, otherwise it's probably not worth your time.
"A very engaging story"
Lots of action!
There were MANY interesting events that take place throughout the book, but the story of the "demolition crew" who went ashore to sabotage a Japanese railroad was one of the more engrossing.
This was my first Corey Snow performance and I found him to be quite easy to listen to.
As a history buff, I found the book quite entertaining, however there were no real emotional swings one way or other.
Although I found the book to be very entertaining and captivating, there was one aspect that I'm not sure I enjoyed. The author, in an attempt to include as much context and as many facts as possible, "forced" some of those facts and context into dialog that obviously never occurred. There were numerous anecdotes in which one character or another goes on and on with some trivial detail and history in a way that people don't speak.
"CLEAR THE BRIDGE!! - Prepare for your adventure."
1st person account of real events that helped shape history along with a look at the inner workings of the US Navy submarine service.
Similar to other 1st person war-time accounts. The big difference being the story telling dialogue and character portrayal giving the book life.
I liked that it was not just a dry narration of facts and events.The real effort to bring the various characters to life brings an entertainment element to the relating of real historic facts and events.I found it difficult to wrap my understanding around how the characters were portrayed as being peace loving individuals but who seemed to revel in combat and taking the lives of the enemy - it somehow seemed a bit hypocritical in that regard.
My only extreme reaction was in spending so much of my free time listening to the story - it was compelling, insightful, and entertaining.
I would recommend this book to anyone who would appreciate a better understanding of how the US Navy in general and the submarine service in particular carried the fight to the enemy during World War II.
Right from the first chapter you are kept riveted by this incredible journey into the life of a WW2 Submarine Commander.
When Eugene Fluckey takes you to the point where they have to rescue the Australian and British troops on board Japanese ships that had just been torpedoed. Its a dramatic and incredible rescue, testament to the determination of the troops to help each other stay alive for as long as possible in order to be saved. Its also incredible just how far Eugene and his men strived to rescue them. A wonderful moment that lives in Fluckey's memory.
Corey Snow gets right into the naritive. At some points you can believe that this is the voice of Eugene Fluckey, he brings the Commander and his Submarine alive.
When the submariners start to pull the survivors aboard their Sub and Eugene says he shed tears as they thanked him. The description of the survivor's alone moves the listener.
A first class listen. Every chapter a story in its own right.
"Brilliant Listen"
This is not the normal type of book that I would normally listen to, but I could not put my IPod down, Luck Fluckey was a true natural born leader who men followed and the reason the allied forces won the second world war, I highly recommend it to everyone to give it a go you won't be disappointed, believe me.

In somewhat breaking news, a member of management over at Time Warner has confirmed that, yes, a new instalment in the Arkham series of games will rear its potentially glorious head this year. There's a transcript of his statement over at Yahoo! Finance, but we'll save you the trouble and cut straight to the pertinent bit:
"And we also have a strong games release this year, which will include the next release in the Batman Arkham franchise. So all in all, we expect Warners to post another very strong year in 2013. And with a little luck, the year should be as good or maybe even a little bit better than 2012."
Huzzah! However, gaming blog VG247 have claimed they have sources who in turn claim that this third instalment won't be developed by Rocksteady.
RUMOURS. They have the potential to utterly ruin whatever scant gestating joy we were going to suck from the desiccated husk of this news. Let's look at the facts: there's a new Arkham game coming out this year. That's it. That's all we actually know, and we've only known it for, at most, ten hours.
If you find out you're having a kid ... then you don't care when it's coming out, although to be fair, you MIGHT care who the father is.
If you find out you're having a kid, provided you've been dying to have a kid, then you don't care when it's coming out (of a human female, not a game studio), although to be fair, you MIGHT care who the father is. And at this stage, if you care to buy into the rumour mill, it might not be Rocksteady.
(Audience gasp)
The Arkham series is undeniably fantastic, and Arkham City did a superb job of embiggening everything that needed embiggening from Arkham Asylum: a bigger world, bigger and better combat, bigger and (arguably) better plot. But where Arkham City really shined was its ability to capture the scope and weight of the Batman experience. Apart from the (in this critic's opinion) narrative misstep of cramming in every villain possible, it really did feel like you were Batman. A feeling I carry with me everywhere I go, which might explain why public transport officers hate me so much.
So yes, perhaps Rocksteady won't be making Arkham 3, and instead will be working on their rumoured silver age Batman prequel (which would be incredible, incidentally). Perhaps they'll make both. Either way, it is officially too soon to get whatever manner of undergarment you wear in anything resembling a twist. We'll report on any further updates as they occur. Go and run a nice hot bath.
By Paul Verhoeven
punk said: Does the Arkham franchise even really need a third (I haven't played the 2nd) Guess WB are in a hurry to get the silver age batman out for a next gen release too. Does it mean the third in the arkham series will be much of the same (not thats bad a thing). Would changing developers be that much of a difference if the assets are there. We've had other devs handle ports from other devs for other platforms (though not entirely the same thing) but they turned out okay.
Ben said: I guess if it sells, they'll always make more. That's the any-business-that-exists way!
ManicPanda said: There was a rumor last year going around that the company that made Arkham City, were planning on making a TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) game in a similar style to Arkham City, but it was dismissed quick enough.

Everything was looking up for "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Caroline Manzo.
Manzo is departing the crazy environment that is "RHONJ" and had begun work on a new spinoff series, "Manzo'd with Children."
Now a new report from Radar Online alleges that the reality star's husband, Al Manzo, is cheating on his wife after 29 years of marriage.
One insider tells "Life & Style" that their relationship is not as happy as it seemed on camera, saying, "During filming of the fifth season, Caroline realized her marriage wasn't picture perfect."
According to Radar, news of the affair was dropped on-camera during the event where Joe Gorga and Chris Laurita got into a nasty physical altercation, but the scene was reportedly edited out.
Though Al went on record to "L&S" denying the cheating allegations, Caroline said they would work it out if he ever cheated on her, stating simply, "He's a good man. If we didn't have the relationship we have, it would be different."
The two-part "RHONJ" reunion special airs on October 6 and 13, with a "Housewives Tell All" special to come on the 20th.

Hollywood, Look I'm Smiling is a laugh-out-loud and insightful comedy concert starring "Mad TV"'s breakout star Aries Spears.

Filmed in front of a live audience at the Best Buy Theater in New York's Times Square, Hollywood, Look I'm Smiling is not only one of Spears' strongest performances, it is also a no-holds-barred attempt to shed light on the hypocrisy of today's society. Spears refuses to play by the rules.

I brewed a few batches back in the early 90's and had no clue WTF I was doing. And then a couple of years ago, for one reason or another, I decided to look into the beer making thing again...and lo and behold this Internet thingy has a TON of information... I think that the lack of access to information is what drove a lot of people off...hell, that might even apply to today for those that don't know where to look.
I got interested in brewing when I was in college. A local grocery store carried the ingredients and sold the equipment. I brewed a few 5 gal batches and enjoyed it. After I graduated, I had a job that kept me busy and traveling and I had no LHBS so I never really got back into it. Several years ago, I ran across a Mr. Beer kit. That got me interested in it again and after brewing a few different batches in the Mr. Beer system, I recently geared back up to do 5 gal batches again. I'll be brewing a Belgian wit this weekend and will be doing an Irish red after that.
Dunno, I brewed on through moves, having kids, basement remodels, what-have-you. When my beer gets low, it's time to brew.....
I'm with Bernie. I brewed my first batch back in November/December 1991 and never stopped. I've been steadily increasing the amount of batches every year since then. I now brew most every weekend and sometimes during the week. (By the way Bernie, the last batch brewed on Sunday was your Red Baron Bock. I'll let you know how it turns out) There are some things in the works right now that may see me brewing daily! I'll let you all know if/when that works out.
I can only obsess about one hobby at a time Also once I reach a certain level of "mastery" at something, I lose interest in it and move on to something else. Mostly using Papazian's "Complete Joy" and whatever his 2nd book was called (but really mostly CJHB) I made a few extract beers, then started partial mashing. I never progressed to all-grain just for lack of space, and the size limits of my lautering tun. About the time I got good at partial mashing, I got hooked on pistol shooting and reloading... That one hobby at a time thing... I'm not sure what got me interested again, but for whatever reason it's time to pick it up again. I see a lot has changed in 10 years.
I thought this would be about bad handjobs.
I brew until it gets too hot in the summer, Then when the beer runs out I say Oh! s#*t and brew until winter comes and it is too cold, then when the beer runs out....... No real stop for me.
I took most of last year off because of a combination of back problems, sleep problems, and the associated medical bills. It's tough to brew when you can't do a lot of lifting and even if you could, most of your money is going somewhere else. So instead I focused on some cheap builds. Got a used fridge for free. Made a temp controller. Made a stir plate. Made an IC. Picked up a keg for converting to a keggle (which is still in process). Since I picked back up, I'm brewing 10 gallons every three months. Back is better and brews are better.
Started, stopped, and started again just like this thread. I don't consider myself stopped, only on pause. My wife and I moved into her mother's house in the spring while our house is being built. No room over there for my brewing stuff, so I sold most of it off. I've been gathering components for a new single tier stand, when we move in. Only have a month and a half to wait.

Project Imagination Update
I am a finalist in Project imagination. I posted about this a week or so ago but havent been able to keep up with it, especially since i am new to the site. So i will tel you about it again. also i didnt get to post the link to the contest site before.
My category is "Time" and the title of my photo is "Progress" ( I'm not in competition against Rory or Courtney who are also FAA members). They are in different categories.
Here is a link to my photo page - (mine is the bud splitting out of translucent skin)
Vote for it if you like it!
Thank you for your support!!
If you'r not into voting check it out anyway. It's an amazing site and there are so many amazing photos.

I really can't say. I have a lot of followers on instagram, and facebook, and twitter, and I belong to a couple of groups. I also posted in here.
I'd say I was most successful on instagram (where my followers are fans of my work) and twitter (where my followers are just the sweetest) and with friends and family than with anything else. Of course, it's difficult to gauge when you don't get responses or people don't comment to let you know they've voted. Facebook is really just not where it's at for me though several fb friends told me they were voting. Even though I have a lot of friends, almost none of us log on regularly.
I was least successful on here.
At the end of the day, I'm really clueless.
RE:login issues. I've noticed that the site has several issues. While it's visually attractive, it isn't very user friendly. Most of the problems I've heard were the result of iphone/ipad users trying to log in. It stalls and frustrates them resulting in possible lost votes.
I've learned that there is a spectrum of pc savvy and people who are less savvy tended to be confused by the same things...not knowing whether their vote counted. How to log in. How to navigate to my picture to vote after they've logged in.
Shrugs... I can only hope for the best....I did everything I know how to do.

Thanks for the feedback. i never minded being "off the grid" until it came to suddently trying to put myeslf out there. its been fun - and yeah a lot of people have mentioned the very items you did.
i foung the solution to my problem. they were trying to register with the photo open and i realized they need to register at the main site their first time voting.
votes or no votes my feet havent touched the floor since i was contacted. i'm still in shock.

Based on the one image your work looks wonderful and I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Time permitting, I hope you decide to expand your presence on FAA to include uploading a few images because I'd like to see more.

I very much PREFER to be "off the grid". so I found this exercise to be quite challenging to my sensibilities in general. Still, it was fantastic in that it has answered the biggest question that I'd had regarding my art. "How do you market yourself?" I know now. You really have to put yourself out there. I've learned so much in these last 2 weeks.
It is very exciting, and to know that you've already been chosen by the judges says you've got the chops.

I feel the same way Courtney...it's been a challenge for me to bite the bullet and try to promote my work for the contest. I suppose it's been good for confronting the issues around that and like you, I have learned a lot. I have really enjoyed seeing the amazing work by all the entrants in the contest and very touched by those that have knocked themselves out to help me both here, and in other venues. I am really happy that at least 3 of us here on FAA got to experience this together!
Were you and Donna able to submit anything to the Discovery theme??? I have a few entries and trying to finish one more today!
Posted by: Donna Renier on 2 Years Ago
2 Years Ago
Yes i submitted to Discovery
All my current stuff is very organic like "progress" and i didnt think it would be a good fit so i posted some very old photos from like 20-25 years ago. " i had to take photos of my old photos because i would never know where to find the negatives.
They are not at all likely to attract any attention but were significant to me in a personal way while traveling the world as a student and young mother...
it was great fun entering and being chosen as a finalist - and i'm glad i had you two to share it with. !!!
best of luck !!!!
i guess tomorrow will tell.
i would upload a photo or two that i submitted but it dont see theupload window now - maybe because its not a new post....
oh my goodness - ron howard just came on tv right now on the awards. speaking about andy griffith :) he's such a neat guy. (he just said "dang")

Everton have confirmed forward Magaye Gueye has left the club by mutual consent after four years at Goodison Park.
The 23-year-old signed from Strasbourg for £1m on five-year contract in 2010 but made just 39 appearances, the majority as substitute.
Last season Gueye played just nine minutes for Everton under manager Roberto Martinez, coming off the bench against Stevenage in an FA Cup fourth round tie.
Although Gueye had another year to run on his contract he came to an agreement with the club to leave this summer.

Accession # | 30.1109 |
Artist | Bertram Hartman |
Title | Trinity Church and Wall Street |
Date | 1929 |
Medium | Oil on canvas |
Dimensions | 50 x 30 in. (127.0 x 76.2 cm) |
Credit Line | John B. Woodward Memorial Fund |
Location | American Identities: Modern Life |
Curatorial Remarks:
This dramatic bird's-eye view of Manhattan's Wall Street invites consideration of the technological and market energies of the modern world. Skyscrapers loom above older buildings, planes fly overhead, and people crowd the sidewalks of the famous financial district. Bertram Hartman's meaning may not be quite so straightforward, however. He painted Trinity Church and Wall Street in the year of a great stock market crash that devastated the nation's economy. Is it possible that by showing the gothic spires of Trinity Church overshadowed by skyscapers, Hartman intended his viewers to contemplate the relationship between spiritual and rnaterial needs in modern life?

Sequester hits special ed
Published 11:15pm Friday, March 22, 2013Federal budget cuts will reduce the quality of instruction special needs students and their parents have grown accustomed to, Suffolk Public Schools' director for the program says.
As a result of the sequester, which took effect March 1 after federal lawmakers failed to reach an agreement on across-the-board cuts to rein in the deficit, federal funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Education Jobs Fund and Title VI-B are no longer available to benefit special education programs.
For Suffolk's public schools, this means the loss of six compliance specialists, three transition specialists, three special education teachers, eight teacher assistants, one assistive technology technician and one special education data specialist.
With the school district asking the city for an additional $9 million for 2013-2014, there was no chance of funding the positions internally, said Antoine Hickman, the district's director of special education.
"We considered it, but that was a brief consideration," he said.
The situation will be managed, and compliance maintained, by dispersing responsibilities from the 22 lost positions among other staff, he said, adding that stipends will compensate for extra workloads.
Staff directly affected by the cuts will be reassigned rather than fired, Hickman said, and the district has not been filling special education teaching vacancies, but rather relying on substitutes, in preparation.
At a School Board meeting earlier this month, Louis Bagley, chairman of the district's Special Education Advisory Committee, argued that by not locally funding the lost positions, the district is hurting "our most vulnerable population in the city — children with special needs."
Louis, who commended Hickman's efforts to ameliorate the cuts, suggested the establishment of a fund for donations from the private sector.
"Perhaps we could get enough funding to where we wouldn't have to worry about losing funds each year," he said.
"If our schools continue to have this loss of funds, and we put more strain on our teachers," then the whole city and wider community will suffer, he said.
Hickman said the loss of federal funds would have repercussions.
"It's going to impact something," he said, adding that the biggest loss would likely be to the "individual service" special-needs children have enjoyed until now.
"It's going to be managed. The statement we have been hearing a lot of is 'doing more with less.'"

Description [0001] This invention pertains to a wear-resistant tool insert for machines used in the production of nails, screws, rivets, and similar objects starting with wire material. [0002] Nails are produced by feeding wire to a clamping punch and cutter. The clamping jaws hold the wire stock in position while the cutter shapes the nail point and the punch shapes the nailhead. Currently, nail-manufacturing machines having reciprocating clamping jaws can produce approximately 600 nails a minute. Nail machines, as in prior art designs, include grippers/clamping jaws and cutters that were made from conventional steel U.S. Pat. No. 5,195,931. [0003] More recently, clamping jaws have been made to include inserts made from hard wear-resistant material, such as cemented tungsten carbide as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,979,216. [0004] Wear-resistant tool inserts of this type are employed in pairs in nail manufacturing machines and are called impact or clamping jaws and pincer jaws. The clamping jaws are often used as replaceable parts in toolholders. The clamping jaws have elongated, prism-like trapezoidal cross-section base elements corresponding to similar recesses in the toolholders. One working surface of the clamping jaws has one or more clamping grooves for tightly clamping the supplied wire and also a recess for forming the desired head shape of the object to be produced. The clamping jaws are arranged in the machine so that the clamping grooves are located opposite each other. In the course of the machine operation, the clamping jaws are closed or opened. In the closed state, the supplied wire is tightly clamped in the clamping grooves. In the clamped state, the head of the nail, screw or rivet is formed. For better clamping of the supplied wire, the clamping grooves are preferably transverse and semicircular in form. [0005] After completion of the head, the nail point is elongated by closing two opposing pincer jaws. The pincer jaws are clamped tightly in machine toolholders or attached directly in the machine. The pincer jaws have a symmetrical profile with several cuts where the end of the finished point is shaped and the point is elongated. [0006] A prior art damper jaw body with a hard material insert is depicted in European Patent 401,918 B1 by Michael Schratter which was filed on Jun. 5, 1990. The clamping insert wire holding groove 5, as shown in the drawings, has a plurality of serrations for better clasping the wire. As can best be seen in FIG. 1 of the European patent, a screw 4 is employed to clamp the insert 2 to the clamp jaw body. [0007] The tool inserts are often manufactured of hard metal to reduce wear. If the wear on the clamping grooves or on the cutters is excessive, then the inserts must be replaced. Replacement of hard material inserts requires downtime, increasing equipment costs, and reduces profits. [0008] It is, therefore, an object of this invention to address the problem of creating wear-resistant tool inserts for machines for the manufacture of nails, screws, rivets, and such. [0009] It is another object of this invention that hard metal is used as a particularly favorable material for the tool inserts�the hardness being of at least 1,500(HV30)�as measured in a Vickers test. [0010] The invention introduces a new groove design having a smooth wave that reduces the wear rate of the groove improving the life expectancy of the hard material clamping insert. [0011] Another object of the invention is to design a clamping jaw that is easily accessible for permitting replacement and/or indexing of the carbide-clamping insert. [0012] This invention is further described in reference to the figures. It will be understood by those of ordinary skill that the embodiments described and illustrated serve as examples of this invention and that other embodiments will similarly accomplish the same objectives. Though not specifically illustrated or described in this specification, it is further intended and understood that all other embodiments, accomplishing the same objectives, are intended to be covered and claimed in this application. [0013]FIG. 1 illustrates the nail die assembly for making nails. [0014]FIG. 2 discloses the cooperation of the hard clamping insert when the clamping jaws are shut. [0015]FIG. 3 illustrates the EDM die tool for forming the nail holding groove of the clamping insert. [0016]FIG. 3A illustrates an enlarged detail section of the exterior wall of the EDM tool shown in FIG. 3. [0017]FIGS. 4-4A illustrates the shape of a nail shank formed by a sinusoidal wave clamping jaw. [0018]FIG. 5 illustrates an assembled clamping jaw. [0019]FIG. 6 illustrates the body of the clamping jaw assembly. [0020]FIG. 7 illustrates a cross-section taken along lines 7-7 in FIG. 6. [0021]FIG. 8 illustrates the clamping member and clamping insert. [0022]FIG. 9 illustrates a pincer jaw having a cutter insert. [0023]FIG. 1 shows a nail impact jaw consisting of a fixed elongated die 2 and a movable die 4 transversely toward and away from the die 2. The body 2 includes a body portion 5 made of tool steel with a tungsten carbide clamping insert 6 therein at the end facing die 4. The clamping insert according to this embodiment of the present invention is octagonal and clamped in a recess of the base element and easily removed from said recess. A cavity for the clamping insert is installed in the middle of body 2 in a longitudinal direction. The clamping insert 6 can be tightly clamped in the recess with a wedge 7. [0024] The wire is fed to the dies by a conventional wire feeder 34. In FIG. 1, the wire is shown as being fed vertically upward. However, it should be understood that the direction of feed has nothing to do with the present invention. [0025] At least one of the sides of each clamping insert has a contact face 19 with generally semi-cylindrical groove 10. The contact face is otherwise planar and oriented which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the clamping jaw. The opening to the groove is frustoconical so as to guide 3 the wire into the gripping dies. The grooves cooperate to clamp together and hold the wire when it is being head formed and cut by cutter dies 20. In the prior art such as U.S. Pat. No. 5,979,216, the grooves have serrations therein for enhancing the ability of the gripping die to effectively hold the wire as it is being head formed and cut. Without such serrations, the wire would not be securely held and the wire would continue to progress and slip along the groove when it is being head formed and cut. The nails formed by this type of gripping tool results in axially spaced ridges along the length of the nail shank. The vast majority of penny and common nails currently being manufactured have these axially spaced ridges somewhere along the length of the nail. [0026] Groove serrations create some drawbacks in manufacturing nails in comparison to a groove without any serrations. The wire has a greater propensity to stick to either one of the clamping jaws after the jaws are separated. The groove serrations in the prior art, upon penetration into the wire, occasionally would not release from the wire when the clamping gripping dies were separated but would stick to the die halting production resulting in undesirable downtime. It is believed that the wire is stuck to the groove due to the combination of friction and/or an interference deformation. [0027] In the present invention, the diameter of the grooves 10 are not perfectly cylindrical but have smooth waves along their longitudinal axis. FIG. 3 illustrates an EDM die for forming the longitudinal groove in the hard clamping inserts 6. As seen in FIG. 3, uniform alternating concave and convex exterior surfaces are formed along the length of the EDM die tool. The radius of curvature for the concave and convex surfaces determined by the pitch and depth of the sinusoidal wave. The shorter the pitch (FIG. 4A), the smaller the radius of curvature of the concave and convex surfaces. The EDM tool is used to form a corresponding sinusoidal wave along the length of the groove of the carbide-clamping insert. The embodiments illustrated disclose a uniform sinusoidal wave, however the scope of the invention is not to be limited to a or exclusively a uniform sinusoidal wave. The invention also encompasses different variations of a smooth wave that can have nonuniform pitch, variations in amplitude between peaks of the same groove, and/or circumference al changes, such as a helical wave. A groove having a smoother exterior contour and substantially small deviations between the lowest valley and highest peak of the groove, 0.001-0.004 inches, provides for suitable alternative designs than that illustrated in the drawings. [0028] When corresponding clamping jaw inserts 6 are in their clamping position, they do not contact each other but remain slightly separated to prevent wear and damage from contact. When the clamping jaws are actuated into the clamping position, a gap of generally 0.003-0.020 inches exists, preferably the gap is between 0.005-0.009 inches. [0029] For instance, typically the resulting gap between clamping jaw inserts whenever the clamping jaws are in the clamping position may be 0.006 inches. When designing the groove used to make nails from a feed wire of a certain diameter, this gap must be taken into account. The nominal radius of the groove is calculated as follows: �D=R+0.003 inches [0030] R�nominal radius of the groove, [0031] D�diameter of feed wire; [0032] The radial distance to the lowest point of each valley of the uniform sinusoidal wave formed in each groove is greater (deeper) than the radius of the wire less half the gap distance. The radial distance to the peaks of the sinusoidal wave in each groove is less than the radius of the wire less half the gap distance. The wire that is contacted during gripping by the peak of the groove is displaced into an adjoining valley of equal dimension when the jaws are clamped together. The nominal radius of the groove bisects the sinusoidal wave and bisects the valley and peak. [0033] The wire forms the shank of the nail. The sinusoidal wave formed along the groove in comparison to a smooth clamping jaw enhances the grip of the wire during feeding and cutting operations. This sinusoidal wave is much less likely to cause attachment between the clamping insert groove and the wire as the serrated grooves of the prior art. It is believed that this is because the smooth sinusoidal wave is less likely to form a friction and interference deformation between the clamping insert groove and wire. As the gripping dies separate the smooth sinusoidal wave of the groove, it releases the wire without sticking or bonding. This clean release of the wire by the gripping dies reduces downtime and improves productivity. [0034] Conventional steel clamping jaws without hard material clamping inserts, such as cemented tungsten carbide, last approximately 80 production hours before it becomes necessary to replace the jaw due to wear. Clamping jaws having tungsten carbide clamping inserts with a serrated groove last a much shorter time than a clamping insert having a sinusoidal wave groove. It is believed that the sharper edges of serrated grooves suffer from greater wear due to the nonuniform steep loads and forces that are applied to the tops of the serrated edges. Whereas, the loads and forces applied to the smooth sinusoidal wave are more uniformly distributed. The present wave groove's effective life expectancy is significantly longer than prior art serrated grooves. The ridge tips on the prior art serrated grooves result in load stress concentration and are more likely to fail. [0035] The clamping insert is generally made from a hard wear-resistant material such as cemented tungsten carbide. For instance, a cemented tungsten carbide including 16% Cobalt can be used to construct clamping jaw inserts used to make nails from low carbon wire such as 1008 steel and 1010 steel, and cemented tungsten carbide including 25% cobalt and 5% tantalum carbide is suitable for gripping high carbon wire such as 1030 steel. Another suitable hard material that can be used to make the clamping jaw insert of the present invention is double cemented carbide as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,880,382 to Fang et al, issued Mar. 9, 1999, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0036]FIG. 5 illustrates the clamping jaw assembly comprising a body 5, a wedge 7, and the hard-material clamping insert. The clamping insert 6 is wedged forward against a positive stop against the front side surface 9 of the cavity. The clamping insert is forced against the front side of the body by a wedge 7. The wedge is connected to the body by a fastening means 8 such as a screw, bolt or other equivalent fasteners. First, the octagonal clamping insert is set inside the front end of a forward cavity 15 in the body with the groove portion facing outward. The wedge is then placed in the rear end of the cavity. Next, a fastening means such as an screw 8 is inserted in the wedge and threaded into the housing. The diameter of the screw 8 positioned in the wedge bore 17 is smaller than the bore diameter. The relative size of these diameters allows for the transverse displacement of the wedge that occurs as the wedge is fastened by the screw onto the body. [0037] As the screw is tightened, a sloped wedge backwall 11 of the cavity contacts a corresponding sloped wedge surface (16 shown as phantom line in FIG. 8) on the wedge 7. The cooperating wedge surface forces the clamping insert forward against the front side stop surface 9 of the body. The sloped backwall surface 11 is oriented at an angle A from the vertical. Angle A is approximately between 5-15 degrees and in one referred embodiment is 7 degrees. [0038] As shown in FIG. 8, the two octagonal sidewalls 12 adjacent to the groove 10 sidewall are not perpendicular with respect to the top face 13 and bottom face (not shown) of the clamping insert. The sidewall surfaces are tapered (towed) outward from the top surface to the bottom surface. The front side surface stop has a negative angle corresponding to the angle of the sidewalls 12. The cooperation between the siedwalls 12 and the negative angle of the front sidewall surface stop forces the clamping insert downward into the cavity as the wedge is screwed down. [0039] In FIGS. 5-8, only one groove is shown on the clamping insert. It should be appreciated that a plurality of indexable grooves could be formed on each clamping insert. FIG. 2 illustrates a second groove identical to the first groove. The second groove is formed on the side opposite the side of the first. Accordingly, the two adjoining octagonal sidewall surfaces and front sidewall surface stop in this embodiment are also tapered (towed) at an angle with respect to the vertical B degrees outward from the top surface to the bottom surface. The angle of taper in either embodiment B can be between 1-5 degrees, an angle of 1 degree provides for satisfactory results. [0040] This type of clamping jaw assembly permits carbide inserts to be changed or indexed without the need for removing the clamping body. Removal of the entire clamping body is necessary for designs, such as disclosed in European Patent 401,918B1. The side screw in European Patent 401,918B1 is not accessible when the clamping jaw is fixed to the motor drive and guide means during nail production. Replacement of clamping inserts in prior art designs, such as this, can take approximately twenty (20) minutes. The carbide clamping inserts of the present invention can be replaced in approximately five (5) minutes. [0041] It should be noted that the above description of the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 5-8 for attaching a clamping insert to a clamping jaw is only exemplary. Nor is the shape of the clamping insert limited to being octagonal with tapered (towed) sidewalls adjoining the groove sidewall. A hard-material clamping insert with a sinusoidal wave groove having a generally rectangular shape, as disclosed in European Patent 0401918B1 filed Jun. 5, 1990, is also contemplated in the present invention. Also, the hard material clamping insert with a sinusoidal wave groove could be designed to be cylindrical and employ clamping means as disclosed in European Patent Specification 0406202 B1, filed Jun. 26, 1990. The sinusoidal wave groove clamping insert could be designed a variety of different shapes and sizes to be used with different clamping means. [0042]FIG. 9 discloses an exemplary embodiment of nail cutter dies used in nail-making mechanism shown in FIG. 1. The nail cutter die includes a body 22 and a cutter insert 24. The cutter insert is positioned in a forward pocket of the body 22. The pentagonal pocket is symmetric along the longitudinal axis of the cutter body. The pocket has a general pentagonal house shape with a depth of approximately half the width of the body. The roof of the pentagonal house shape pocket forms an included angle of between 90-150 degrees. This roof end of the pocket functions as an acute locating angle for positioning and centering the cutting insert on the cutter The cutter insert 24 is designed to have a corresponding identical �roof� angle (90-150 degrees) that cooperates with acute locating pocket angle to help locate and center the cutting insert into position. [0043] The apex of the acute locating angle of the pocket is rounded 26 as well as the apex 28 of the roof of the cutter insert. The radius for curvature of the cutter insert 28 is larger than the apex radius of curvature 26 of the body pentagonal pocket. This dimensional relationship allows for the cutter insert to firmly seat against the planar roof sidewalls 29 of the pocket. The cutter insert is connected to the cutter body by a well-known offset locking screw 27 that positively draws the roof portion of the cutter insert into secure engagement with the acute locating pocket angle. [0044] This arrangement results in an accurate and positive retention of the cutter insert. The acute and gel geometry prevents for the potential shifting of the inserts while under the cutting pressure of the machine as wire is continuously fed between two reciprocating cutters. The cutter illustrated in FIG. 9 is less likely than the indexed prior art rectangular insert designs to shift while under cutting pressure on account of its locating angle. Shifting and/or misalignment of the cutter insert results in catastrophic failure of the insert and the inability to properly point and separate the nail from the coil of wire. The lack of shifting allows for the cutting geometry to be maintained for a longer duration of time and extended production, minimizing downtime and providing a more cost efficient nail manufacturing machinery.

Facebook will not be using results from search engine Bing on its social networking platform. Instead, Facebook has reworked on its search offering and has come up with a tool that will allow the users to find past comments and other information they seek. Microsoft has, however, not reacted to this upcoming development. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had hinted that search was his company's key growth initiative and over 1 billion search queries originated on the social media network each day. However, Facebook is taking every precaution in dealing with this sensitive issue. A spokesperson for Facebook has pointed that despite the company shrugging off Microsoft, relations between both companies are strong as they have partnerships in many other areas. It is noteworthy that Bing is the second largest web search provider in United States and occupies up to 20 percent of the market share. Microsoft and Facebook have been [+more]

Infosys to evaluate employees to stay valued employer
Staff appraisal practice is soon to begin in Infosys. The company is likely to follow the trend set by Google and Facebook and will start evaluating its employees by October next, in order to select the best of the lot. Infosys, if able to do the process correctly will be able to retain the tag of preferred employer in India. In order to evaluate its 160,000 strong workforce, Infosys is likely to take assistance from its 900 clients in form of their feedback. Individual performance will also be judged on basis of ratings given by team members and other subordinates in the team. Google and Facebook have been using this tactic of employee evaluation since long and though details are always kept secret, yet some information does come in the public preview. The urge to control the attrition rate might be one of the reasons that Infosys is resorting to [+more]
Facebook Messenger Hits Over 500 Million Downloads
According to a report by Google Play Store, the new Facebook Messenger app has been downloaded more than 500 million times by the users of the Android-based devices, despite the app was initially criticized by the people. The app initially faced a lot of criticism and it even received poor reviews from the users. The majority of people condemned the popular social networking site to force people to download a separate app in order to view their messages. There were also some users who showed concerns regarding the privacy implications of the app. Facebook was quoted saying in reply to the queries that "Our goal is to focus development efforts on making messenger the best mobile messaging experience possible and avoid the confusion of having separate Facebook mobile messaging experiences." The company said that it will take out messages from the main Facebook app, claiming that the new messenger will [+more]
Instagram Likely To Be Working On New Photo Messaging App
Facebook-owned Instagram is likely to be working towards developing a new photo messaging app in order to compete with popular rivals like Snapchat. The Verge has said in a report that Instagram is likely to have mistakenly leaked the existence of a new Snapchat competitor dubbed as Bolt, which appeared on a new banner ad inside the current Instagram for Android app. Twitter user Richard Groves snapped a screenshot reading "Introducing Bolt," promising "one tap photo messaging" and offering a link to download the free app via the Google Play Store. The link was taking the users nowhere and the banner ad vanished 15 minutes later. But by that time several late night users spotted the same message lurking in their own Instagram installations. However, a report by TechCrunch has suggested that the app could be a fictional title instead. Sarah Perez has been quoted saying that "It's worth pointing [+more]
Facebook Privacy revised: Default audience now "Friends", new privacy checkup tool en route
User privacy is of prime concern on social media and Facebook has perhaps realized this. It is now taking steps to protect its user's privacy. Over sharing might not be available for new users in future as Facebook is intending to set default audience to "Friends" in place of "Public" as it is now. At times, it happens that a person wants to share any update with those in their friend list but the update gets listed as public and is visible to everyone. This is the lacuna with which Facebook wants to deal and offer more privacy to its new users. This move has been initiated by Facebook based on user's feedback, where many of them expressed their anguish and concerns on their posts becoming public, even when it was intended for friends. For those who wish to share their updates publicly, this move on part of Facebook will [+more]
Hurt By Facebook? Oculus Rift Dev Kit Sales Beg To Differ
The big news today is that Oculus Rift Dev Kit are seeing records sales post acquisition by Facebook. Insider sources reveal that pre orders on the second version of the kit have seen numbers close to 25,000. In fact, the sales for DK2 are way ahead of what was seen in its predecessor model. However, the bottom line remains that Facebook has not just tagged its name to Oculus but also added spunk to the reputation of Rift and Oculus. Many Kickstarter supporters who dished out close to 2 1/2 million dollars, are now fuming and demanding the funds back. Many developers are not over the moon about the deal with Facebook. Markus Persson, from Minecraft, is not optimistic on the VR version to Rift.

Facebook Turning Out To Be A New Yahoo, Halted Its Beautiful Redesign
The world's most popular social media site Facebook has stopped the release of its new and beautiful redesign. This comes as the company accepts that the redesign looks awesome on new computers having big and sharp screens, but the new upgrade is difficult to use on older computers featuring small and crappy screens. The majority of Facebook's users are still having the small and crappy screens. Silicon Valley industry insiders are currently talking that Facebook is becoming the new Yahoo. Facebook has decided to scrap its photo-rich redesign and release a design that may look similar to its 2009 design but works really great for majority of its users.

Why does Facebook Want to Buy Oculus Rift is now a Zillion $ Question for its Users
After creating a watershed in the arena of social networking in the name of Facebook, the CEO and founder of the world's largest social networking site has moved one step ahead to acquire Oculus Rift for approximately 2 billion$. Zuckerberg, as being quoted by the leading media when he was enquired of why does Facebook want to buy Oculus Rift, has stated that he wants that virtual reality should influence the lives of the techno savvy mass just after mobiles. He also said that he dreams of building another computing platform that would be as popularized and big as the vast world of mobile phones.

It Could Be A Case of Big Fish Eating The Small One: Why Would Facebook Buy Whatsapp?
Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook has announced its plans to buy fast-growing messaging service Whatsapp in a $19 billion deal in cash and stock. This is an unprecedented purchase as the deal one can consider closest to this was done by Microsoft when they bought Skype at a price of $8.5. Incidentally, Facebook also took over Instagram at only $1 billion last year, while Japanese e-commerce company Rakuten bought Viber at a modest $ 900 million. So, why would Facebook buy Whatsapp, and at this price? Industry insiders and M&A experts say that Facebook acquisition of Whatsapp–even Instagram–suggests their inability to develop such good apps. This deal is more than the amount Facebook raised in its own IPO and has left investors worrisome. Many recent news reports and jokes floating in cyberspace suggest that Facebook was turning into a network for the ageing. Its population of active teenage users was fast depleting. [+more]

You got it Wendy ;o)
I did use him in May 2009 and would do it again. No complaints whatsoever. He did my outdoor ceremony too.
I had narrowed it down to Curtis Knight or a friend of a friend who offered me a discounted price. In the end, I decided to spend the extra $300 because CK has a MUCH larger library of songs and backup DJs in case of an emergency.
