Abstract | The African frog genera Arthroleptis and Cardioglossa are unique among vertebrates in having males with extremely long third fingers. In some species, this sexual dimorphism is impressive, with male third fingers approaching 40% of body length. However, the diversity of this trait has not been documented thoroughly and several species appear to lack this trait. The present study documents the diversity of male secondary sexual traits in Arthroleptis and Cardioglossa, including elongate third fingers and digital and inguinal spines. Furthermore, it explores hypotheses of trait evolution, including explanations for the absence of male traits. Analyses of covariance suggest that the functional relationship between finger length and snout-vent length (SVL), both within and among species, is different for male finger III than for male fingers I, II, and IV, or for female finger III. Ancestral state reconstruction suggests that all male traits were present in the most recent common ancestor of Arthroleptis and Cardioglossa and that reduction or loss of traits occurred later. Across species, independent contrast analyses find no correlation between SVL and either male relative third digit length or dimorphism in relative third digit length. The number of spines on male fingers II and III are positively correlated but spine number is not correlated with SVL and only weakly correlated with relative third digit length. The diversity of male traits is evolutionarily labile and is not explained by simple hypotheses of character evolution. Arthroleptis and Cardioglossa may thus provide an interesting study system for understanding how changes in sexual selection forces produce male trait diversity.

I am loving this color palette of these custom made Baby Shower cookies.
The cookies match the Baby Shower invitation.
Simple but yet modern.
I used a pretty neat stencil that I got from Michael's to make the chevron pattern, which by the way is spray painted with silver dust. But I recently found this Etsy shop that also has this and others stencils that would make wonders in cookies and cakes.
I really like when moms and party planners step out of the regular baby blue and white when it comes to little Boys' Baby Showers.
Pretty cookies ready to be pack and ship to California.

I don't own a Fun500 and I have not seen one, but in a conversation with Mike Franz once I was told that the gearboxes for Fun 500 are for a 3.2mm pinion. Maybe I misheard him or he was talking about the Fun480? Anyway, I am pleased to hear that the Fun500 has a 5mm shaft because I may get a 500-27 for my HW609 on 14 cells I agree that the hacker and Kontronik will have similar efficiencies at similar input watts. I think the Fun500 is a bit lighter and shorter than the B50S? At least the FUn480 and B40-6L that I have, are very similar but the Fun motor is a little shorter and lighter. Brad, What are you planning to do with the motor? Regards Kyri |
Oct 12, 2002, 01:34 PM | |
Infact the difference is only in the gearbox.
Hacker and Kontronic use different gearboxes for different gear ratio's, this may be wy the shaft size is different.
I know for a fact that the Hacker 6,7/1 gearbox is of completely different design then the lower ratio gearboxes. As to efficiency numbers on these motors. If you compare the same sise motors with the same kV's then they will perform almost identicaly and have the same high efficiency. However it seems that the max efficiency point of the Kontronic FUN motors is at a slightly higher amp level then with the Hacker motors. This is only a very small difference and i think you should look more at other factors such as availeble gear ratio's, PRICE and availebilaty of these motors al together. Have FUN |

The FUN 500-27 will probably end up in an Accord 63 on 16 cells for hovercraft-style fun flying. I want to learn to hang a plane on the prop. I think that this setup using my 3SL-70 controller, an "Ultimate BEC" circuit to save weight, and a 14x10 APC-E will accomplish that. Maybe a gyro, too? Whaddayathink? Brad |
Oct 13, 2002, 08:43 AM | |
Ok - some clarification is in order:
The motorshaft on the FUN500/600's are 5mm, the GB output shaft is different, mostly 6mm. Same goes for the Hacker B50's Yes, the FUN500 is lighter (same diam. but shorter) than the B50S. 11/2years ago when Kontronik had their BL series (now replaced with the FUN's) those motors where to the eye identical, same size,length,weight and external motorwire layout. I think they (Kontronik & Hacker) used the magents from the same source but built their own motors. Since then Kontronik updated their motor/ESC line and have sizewise an edge on the Hackers. Any efficiencydifference is small though, only a dyno plot could tell the whole truth there. I dont think you'll go wrong with either K or H as long as the system is matched to the plane. Here is a pic showing the internal difference between the old Kontronik BL motor and the current FUN. |

The Kontronik Motor that would be most like the Hacker B50 9S with a KV of 4100 would be the Fun 500-42 which has a Kv of 4200. The efficiencies would be very very close as is the tourque curves. I would not make much of the differences in MotoCalc or E-calc because they are using meadurement given by different sourses using different equipment and conditions. The small differences are attributable to these factors.
BTW..B50 S is the same size as the fun 500 series and the B50 L is the same size as the Fun 600 series. The Fun 400 is shorter than the B40S, the Fun 480 is the same size as the B40S with same output power of the B40L |

Re: Hacker B50 vs. Kontronik FUN 500?
We have also done quite a few in-flight comparisons on edf's, and the Hacker B40 or B50 equipped edf models systematically fly longer - at the same power levels- , supporting the measurements of better efficiencies of the Hackers. The very high efficency of these motors is clearly visible in flight. Btw I have both & don't sell either one ... I have used for many months now the Hacker B40-8L at power levels of up to 720 Watts & the Hacker B50 12S & 18S at power levels approaching 950 Watts, all in edf's with good cooling and relatively short flights. A friend uses four Hacker B40-11S in edf's at power levels around 600 Watts, very solid motors worth every penny. |

The program and motor constants I used were the ones on line at www.flydma.com using the "P-Calc" program there. I don't see how the data is wrong, unless published manufacturers specs are exaggerated. Maybe? Thanks. Brad |

Lynn Elson and Nadine Dorries: peas in a pub
The good people at the Telegraph have just reported the following:
Telegraph – MPs' expenses: Nadine Dorries paid £35,000 to close friend in PR: Between September 2008 and June 2009, Mrs Dorries claimed £34,059.75 for the services of the company Marketing Management (Midlands) Ltd. Miss Dorries claimed under her office allowance, her staffing expenditure and her communications allowance to pay the public relations company. The first fund is used by MPs to pay for the running costs of their constituency and Commons bases; the second to pay the wages of permanent and temporary workers; and the third to run websites or produce adverts and leaflets. The invoices show it was paid for "PR, research and media services". Companies House documents disclose that one of the two directors of Marketing Management is Lynn Elson, who lives near the Cotswolds town of Moreton-in-Marsh. In the past year, Mrs Dorries has written on her personal blog and her Twitter page about visiting the town and a nearby country pub. Her website is illustrated with a selection of six photographs, some showing her as a young girl and as an MP speaking in the House of Commons. Two of the pictures show the Tory MP with Mrs Elson: one in a group shot with two other women holding glasses of wine, and one with Mrs Dorries and her daughters dressed in evening wear.
Just to reinforce that last point, here is a specific entry on Nadine's 'blog' that includes a mention and photo of Lynn.
Now, don't be thrown off by the fact that this next item is also on the Telegraph site; that in itself is of no significance and this whole post should probably be filed under 'added colour' anyway… I just wanted to show you this response from Lynn Elson to a review of the restaurant in the 'Horse & Groom'. This pub is referenced on Dorries' blog as her 'local', and the two friends obviously enjoy the odd party/drink together, so I want to make it clear that I'm not implying that this is what Lynn classifies as 'PR*', rather I merely wish to invite those who have experienced or witnessed a Dorries 'rebuttal' to gaze in wonder at this intervention by her friend Elson and count the many boxes it ticks.
(NOTE – You may spot a subtle indication of her own personal politics as you evaluate Elson's style of engagement.)
Dear Sir
I would like to respond to Mark Palmer's review of the Horse and Groom, Bourton on the Hill, Gloucestershire, which happens to be my 'local'. Firstly, they do not wrap the cutlery in napkins, but lay knives and forks on top of the napkin at the table – this is a pub not a restaurant. I reply to Palmer's comments about the Horse and Groom straining to be 'a little bit of everything but not quite managing to be anything in particular'; in actuality it manages to be a very good 'local' pub which serves excellent food, wine and beer and is very popular amongst discerning diners who live locally. Mark Palmer's haughty tone showed him to be a pompous, pretentious Londoner, and frankly we don't want his type spoiling the agreeable ambience of our lovely Cotswold pubs. The staff is always welcoming and friendly; no they didn't all train at Butler School, but they are charming and chatty which is perfect for a relaxed lunch or informal dinner. Perhaps Mark Palmer should stick to eating in fancy London restaurants if it's silver service and forelock tugging he's after. In eco-friendly times, what's wrong with having the menu on the blackboard therefore saving a few trees? – It's a common practice throughout a lot of Cotswolds pubs. What did he expect – a gold leaf menu? I say again – this is a pub! His mocking comments on 'the wall poem about village life by John Betjeman, a print of a gentleman cricketer and notices on the back of the door that you might find inside the porch of a lively parish church that runs Alpha courses on Monday nights' is because the pub is at the heart of village life and not a theme park for self-important Londoners. As for his condescending comments about 'a group of thirtysomethings having a black-tie celebration' which he felt inappropriate just shows how anal he really is. How dare he sit and judge a group of people who for their own personal reasons have chosen to add a bit of fun to an outing – we are easy going enough in the countryside to break the rules of the conceited liberal elite who dictate to the affected likes of Mark Palmer what he should wear and when. He has obviously reviewed McDonald's at some point as he made a comparison to their chips – who would have thought he'd lower himself to enter such an establishment? He was clearly dining in matching caustic company, as his companion Joanna added her own sneering comment about the red cabbage – what is she a red cabbage connoisseur? It's a shame her life is not more interesting. Mark Palmer would do better sticking to ostentatious London restaurants, filling his face with showy food and deferential silvers service waiters at his beck and call. That way, he will satisfy his appetite for his high opinion of himself as a food aficionado and keep our lovely local Cotswold pub free of anal Londoners.
Yours faithfully
Lynn Elson
Bloody glorious, isn't it? I challenge anyone to spot the difference between this and your typical full-frontal outburst from Dorries. It even manages to blame Teh Left in correspondence about a restaurant review.
[*If I were to speculate on the possibility that this was part of a formal PR exercise, I would further speculate that the party of black tie diners may have been part of a pathetic attempt to fill/class the joint up a bit for the expected visit from the restaurant reviewer... and that Lynn may have had good cause to take the reviewer's comment about this group personally after going to all that effort to show off for the townies.]

Gina Khan has a problem with bullying
Gina Khan is a 40-something woman who speaks out against radical Muslims, with a focus on the rights of women born into Muslim society. As the Times reports, the price she has paid for this is intimidation at the hands of cowards:
Already Khan has had bricks through her car window for speaking out locally about domestic violence and sexual abuse, issues that are taboo in the Muslim community. (source)
I find it odd, then, that Gina Khan is also a listed 'officer' of the Facebook group, 'Cheerleadered!'; i.e. the group of people who have been repeatedly publishing my ex-directory home address online citing reasons that vary from baseless claims of alliances with extremists to false accusations of my stalking women. In a recent post I mentioned how they were recruiting people to do their dirty work for them with such false – and dangerous – accusations (more):
There are some people who may be able to claim distance from these attacks with some credibility, but Gina is not one of them;
1. She is no mere Facebook 'friend' or 'member', but a listed 'officer' at the main site for this gang of mostly-anonymous thugs. Her name appears in a very short list alongside that of the new recruit mentioned above, plus Farah Damji, who was recently sentenced to 15 months for fraud and forgery in "a scheme dripping with dishonesty at every conceivable corner" (and I'm sure you'll be shocked to learn that the Cheerleaders have been using all-too-familiar bullying tactics in her defence).
2. Gina Khan was CCed on an email threatening me with violence for daring to ask her (and others) about their relationship with the Cheerleaders.
3. At the time, we were assured by one of the ringleaders that Gina herself would 'tear me a new one' for daring to attempt contact. No such orifice-creating intervention took place, but Gina Khan did nothing to distance herself from the group, the original threats and attacks, or the further* threats and attacks made on her behalf.
4. Gina Khan is not only connected to the 'Cheerleaders', she is connected to conman Dominic Wightman, and appears to have introduced one to the other. Before he was outed as a conman and exploding with proxy hostility, Dominic Wightman had this to say about Gina Khan and head Cheerleader Charlie Flowers (the man who challenged me to a fist fight in Gina's name and went on to issue further* threats of data misuse on her behalf):
"I met [Charlie Flowers] the month before [Feb 2008] after I had been put in touch by him online with Gina Khan" – Dominic Wightman (more)
There are further connections, such as Gina Khan taking part in two-part interview on Wightman's Westminster Journal site, but this one clearly associates her with both Wightman and Flowers; she brought them together!
There can be little question about her awareness of what the 'Cheerleaders' are up to; at the very least she seems quite unconcerned about anonymous threats/attacks made on her behalf and how that might impact on her credibility as a moderate human rights and social cohesion campaigner.
Perhaps she'd care to break cover just long enough to deny involvement… or justify her actions to date.
If this post remains live, without relevant update or correction, then Gina Khan is still refusing to comment on the issue and is instead quietly siding with Dominic Wightman, Charlie Flowers, and the Cheerleaders. Any private denial is likely to based on a lie that cannot bear scrutiny, and does nothing to discourage the very acts Gina Khan claims to take a stand against.
(Over to Gina for what is expected to be an extended silence interrupted only by further threats from her thug mates.)
[*According to their more recent threats, my publication of their email addresses has led to these people being unduly/unjustly spammed, so they are going to pretend to be me (!) and share my home address (!) with Nigerian 419 scammers and the like until/unless I remove the following list of people/addresses CCed on these threats of violence; The Fighting Cocks UK (firstname.lastname@example.com), email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, Jonny Yeah (firstname.lastname@example.com), email@example.com, email@example.com, Plan B Booking (email@example.com), Matthew Edwards (email@example.com). Most of these addresses were visible to search engines – and therefore to spambots – long before I published them. Me, I suspect these threats have more to do with someone in this list regretting their involvement… at least to the extent of not wanting other people to know about it. So far, no-one on the list has been willing or able to publicly distance themselves from the dangerous, childish and malicious antics of the 'Cheerleaders'.]
[** 23 Feb 2010 - Workable email address removed following a request to my provider made on behalf of Matthew Edwards.]
[*** 16 Mar 2010 - Followed by a copycat complaint on behalf of everybody else.]
[**** 04 May 2010 - Then I decided to move to a provider that couldn't be bullied quite as easily and later reinstated the data when they turned up mouthing off again. They're going to publish my home address then moan about publication of email addresses (associated with a threat of violence, no less)? Fuck 'em.]
Here's what happens when Conservatives cry 'stalker'
This exchange is typical of Iain Dale; he sees the word 'fake' and/or 'opportunist', and screams 'insult', but he'll throw the most awful accusations about himself and later defend it as 'banter' or 'opinion'. One of his favourites is an accusation of 'obsession' or 'stalking' that he throws about like candy:
[BTW, recently Iain Dale attended a public event posing as an expert. As the Twitter feed behind him displayed messages pointing out that the man speaking as an expert wasn't actually an expert, he relied on the accusation of stalking (again) to explain it away.]
Iain Dale also likes to make quite specific accusations based on some pretty one-sided accounts:
[Iain recently claimed that he had deleted all content like this from his website in an effort to be 'left alone'. He was lying, of course, and I'm going to keep pressing him on those and other lies for as long as he continues to broadcast them. That's what Iain Dale calls a 'threat' by the way.]
Now, Iain Dale and Nadine Dorries are very close friends, they both love to throw the word 'stalker' around, and it should be pretty clear by now to all but the most doe-eyed chump that Iain will side with Nadine over pretty much anything (even if that support is limited to a refusal to discuss it or allow any mention of it on his site). Iain Dale has even accused me of being critical of Nadine Dorries just to get at him (as if anyone needs an excuse to be critical of Nadine Dorries).
In Anne Milton's case, Iain's position is slightly different, but even less credible; Iain Dale has mostly (if not entirely) relied on the input of some anonymous comment contributors on his site who have been repeating allegations originally made by two activists working under Anne Milton (Mike Chambers and Dennis Paul), both of whom were caught (by me) smearing other people anonymously (once by claiming that their target was a paedophile). Iain Dale was perfectly happy to see that matter brushed under the carpet then, and uses an accusation of stalking to explain his inaction at the time now (he repeatedly implies I imagined the event, or made it up). Even if (BIG if) these anonymous comments on Iain's site aren't made by the same people, he is willingly relying on the same accusations made by these people to avoid the same bloody issue.
Meanwhile, as he continues to insist that making a website about Anne Milton and/or his friend Nadine Dorries amounts to 'stalking', Iain Dale heartily backs the efforts of Tory Bear (aka Harry Cole) when he creates a site targeting Kerry McCarthy, based on little more than some generic anti-Labour/expenses bitching and an objection to being blocked on Twitter.
Does Iain Dale honestly wish to contend that I campaigned against Nadine Dorries or Anne Milton based on less?
There is some inconsistency here that undermines this man's opinion of what does and does not qualify as stalking; the line appears to be especially elastic when personal politics are involved.
But Iain Dale is also a talking head on television, and while he may not be appearing in the Daily Mail again in a hurry, he also appears in print and controls his own little magazine that is junk-mailed to thousands of MPs, councillors, etc. every month… so he needs to be a little bit more careful about the words he chucks around, especially when they end up getting used like this:
To make it perfectly clear what you are looking at, this is one of the ringleaders in a gang of anonymous sock-puppeting thugs (they call themselves the 'Cheerleaders'), recruiting/indoctrinating a newcomer with an outright lie and in doing so encouraging them to engage in some form of online attack against their target.
Mostly, these online attacks involve the repeated broadcast of any sensitive data they can get their hands on, and what these people are primarily armed with is my ex-directory home address (provided, it would appear, by Dominic Wightman).
Previously, the worst attack of this kind on me was the publication of my unlisted phone number by the blogger Phil Hendren. It doesn't happen often, because most bloggers frown on this kind of bullying… but time and again, Iain Dale and his Tory mates have shown that they will tolerate the hell out of it when it suits them, and forbid any discussion of the matter from their websites while allowing their previous opinions accusations to stand.
The Cheerleaders (latest/background) normally target people they regard to be extremists, so I don't think I 'm wrong to suspect that this comment refers to me, given that it repeats the (current) core accusation they use to justify threats of violence that followed their repeated misuse of my personal data.
Their accusations that I am a 'stalker of women' came (I suspect) privately and (I can prove) publicly from claims made by conman Dominic Wightman (aka Dominic Whiteman, aka Richard Walker) who was also caught (by me) smearing other people anonymously.
The claims made by Dominic Wightman and these 'Cheerleaders' are outright lies formed in part from repurposed material from the websites of Iain Dale and his fellow Tory blogger and close friend Phil Hendren (of 'Dizzy Thinks'). Both of these gentlemen refuse to remove or even discuss material that they host on their respective websites that (a) involve quite specific and false claims about me that (b) they know not to be true.
They refuse to discuss any of this (citing specific accusations of 'stalking', no less) beyond defending their published accusations as mere opinion, knowing it is being repeated elsewhere, unchallenged, as fact.
Take a look at this again:
This person being recruited by 'Shooter' clearly thinks that they're working on the side of angels. They're liable to get up to pretty much anything if 'Shooter' manages to convince them that innocent women's lives are at stake.
It's at this point I wish to remind you that Glen Jenvey believed that I was a convicted paedophile when he repeatedly published the accusations that Google still refuse to remove. His claim that Dominic Wightman fed him this lie (along with my home address) grows in resonance by the day, and I'm concerned about what might happen when people are recruited like this by the 'Cheerleaders' (for reasons I shouldn't have to explain).
I don't think Iain Dale or Phil Hendren can justify what 'Shooter' is passing around, but I can prove that the 'Cheerleaders' and/through Dominic Wightman rest their stalker accusations on false/unsupported claims published by these two 'leading' bloggers.
Why they persist in broadcasting these claims I'll leave up to you.
(Be warned that if you attempt any public discussion of this yourself, you risk attack by Iain Dale and his little gang of thugs and hangers on, or Dominic Wightman and his little gang of thugs and hangers on.)

[NOTE – UK-based web hosts are particularly easy to bully thanks to certain peculiarities in local libel laws, and people acting for (or on behalf of) Redwire Design have been taking advantage of that, by bullying my priovider rather than admitting their role in… well, more bullying.

Well, the unpleasantness continues, and Alex Malloy is hiding behind his company firewall. If you could take a moment to read the detail and send a quick email to Nick Catt (if you see fit), then I'd greatly appreciate the time and effort. Cheers.
Nick Catt
Managing Director, Redwire DesignDear Nick,
Apologies for the open letter, but an all-too-familiar game is unfolding and your company Director Alex Malloy appears to have blacklisted my email address(es) in response to my query about the apparent (but still-unconfirmed) spam-blocking of these same addresses by one of your clients.
I use the word 'client' loosely given that the relevant account involves Jon Chappell, Alex Malloy's mate and partner in Kooba Radio. I'm guessing the whole arrangement involving your hosting of their website, email and what have you is more congenial than it is formal, but there is no question of you hosting it and being ultimately responsible for how your servers are used and for the conduct of your Director in their management and for any relevant communication from your staff about that.
Moving in the local band/club circles as you do, you must be aware of a band by the name of The Fighting Cocks. If you don't know who these people are, your Director Alex Malloy certainly does; he's played host to them on his Kooba Radio 'station' many times, and they appear repeatedly on his website (that you host). Core members of The Fighting Cocks (alongside hangers-on like Jon Chappell) also go by the name of the 'Cheerleaders', and in a lonnng campaign of harassment from behind these names and a series of sock-puppets and pseudonyms they have repeatedly published my ex-directory home address in an effort to intimidate me into silence. This all has to do with a conman of their acquaintance by the name of Dominic Wightman (NOT a name I expect you to know; this is just for background).
I can show you evidence of the involvement of the relevant Kooba Radio YouTube account in the active promotion of an account used (only) to broadcast my home address if you have any doubts about this, or if Malloy is denying any of it in your communication(s) with him. When we last communicated, he denied knowing about any of it, but the evidence suggests otherwise (personally, I suspect he's lying and obfuscating to protect himself and his mates, if you'll allow me to be frank with you) and it's still no excuse for his conduct in response to fair and pertinent questions.
Malloy knows who the main account holder for 'KoobaTV' is, but refuses to discuss the matter in any way. You may choose to back away into a legally-secure (if morally dubious) position that this aspect of our (ahem) disagreement is none of your business, but he is also refusing to be clear about the nature of an apparent spam-block on an email account that you host, and the stench of bad faith is coming from Redwire's corner as a result.
Oh, and now I'm receiving further threats made on behalf of these friends of the Cheerleaders who claim not to know anything about those same Cheerleaders. Here's the latest, received just this morning:

subject Re: Publication of your email addressMatyi is about to put a Gypsy curse on you and your entire family, at dawn tomorrow- and it'll be a bad one :(
… you can avoid this curse, by never contacting or writing about us or anyone to do with us again. I'm sure your wife wouldn't be too happy about your obsessions leading to her and you and yours getting lumbered with something that will follow your bloodline down the generations, now would it?
So.. your choice Mr Stalker.
Priya[FYI:' Matyi' = 'Charlie Flowers']
Now, if it were taken in isolation some people might expect all those concerned to laugh this one off, but I'm detecting an implied threat against my family there, and I'd be interested to know what you think, especially as these and other threats are now being made on behalf of one of your 'clients', a Director of your company and now, apparently, the company itself:

subject and you are now, officially, in the shit.I TOLD you not to contact these people. But your mental condition meant you had to, didn't it? OK you are now officially in the crap, P-Group has found your web host, and they have been notified.
You have a choice:
1. Walk away and look away, and NEVER contact anyone involved with us again.
2. Keep it up, and reap the whirlwind.3. This means and includes: anyone at Kooba or Redwire.
TFC Cheerleaders[I fail to see what possible case these people can hope to present to my web host, unless they're following up on Malloy's claims of 'threats and defamation' that he is curiously unable to identify when challenged.]
As you can see, by attempting to contact you I risk 'reaping the whirlwind', and I apologise in advance for my next act, which is designed to ensure that this attempt will not have been in vain:
Hi folks. Without being rude about it, please forward a copy of this message (and/or a link to this post) to Nick Catt at firstname.lastname@example.com
If you think I'm being too long-winded (as usual), then do feel free to aid comprehension with your own summary, but please try to remain professional about it, as Nick Catt is a Managing Director and therefore likely to be a Serious Person, unwilling to stand for any swears or abuse.
(I'll scrub this message when he responds. For as long as it remains live, the request stands. Cheers all.)
These people can only continue to attack me for as long as they remain anonymous, and these people will continue to attack me for as long as the man who is directing the attacks enjoys plausible deniability.
Your man Malloy appears determined to be a strong link in a long chain of ratbags. I'm hoping that you will recognise the value of being at least a little bit more professional about it, even if you're going to deny all knowledge yourself and pretend that you've merely been away from your desk for a 67-hour moment.
Tim Ireland
OK, so now we see what kind of person Nick Catt is, I guess.
UPDATE – Richard Bartholomew – Charlie Flowers Threatens Tim Ireland's Family with "Gypsy Curse"
The definition of relevance
The folks from Wordia asked me to choose a word and contribute to their project. I chose the word 'relevance', and this is the result:
If it's seems I'm pressing one factor over the other, it's because validity of the source is overlooked far too often (or all-too-selectively) in my opinion.

[This post as been relocated to this back-up blog after a complaint was made to my provider on 16/03/2010. The original article was posted to Bloggerheads.com 27/01/2010. Details here.]
This post is about some (or perhaps hopefully just one) of the wonderful people at Redwire Design, but first we need some background for those who came in late (and to cover some recent parts that have only just come to light). Please bear with me:
Early in 2009, a conman by the name of Dominic Wightman (aka Dominic Whiteman, aka Richard Walker) saw in the Glen Jenvey story an opportunity to screw over some former associates while at the same time screwing me (for reasons that have yet to be fully established). This scheme of his resulted in a false claim of paedophilia spread by Jenvey, who (with nothing to gain by lying) later claimed that he was fed this lie and my ex-directory home address by Wightman, along with the assurance that I "needed sorting out".
Things didn't quite work out the way Wightman planned, and eventually circumstances led to the uncovering of a blatant smear campaign created and conducted by Wightman, resulting in multiple visits from the police that Wightman hilariously portrays as being appointments of his own design.
Fearing what I might report (there is a LOT that has so far gone unreported), Wightman decided to get his retaliation in early (!) with an extraordinarily rambling, malicious and misleading attack on my good name. It was at this time that some associates of Wightman began to publish my home address alongside false accusations that I was in league with extremists, and a stalker of women.
The bulk of these associates hide behind pseudonyms, go by the collective name of the 'Cheerleaders', and are also involved in a band by the name of The Fighting Cocks. There are also some mates and hangers-on whose real names are more accessible, and that group of people includes 'Jonny Yeah' (aka Jon Chappell). More on him in a moment.
This campaign of harassment has included the repeated broadcast of my home address to the types of people that Wightman himself has described as having "a history of late-night visits to enemies". Further, while the 'Cheerleaders' style themselves as anti-fascist activists, they had no qualms about repeatedly broadcasting my home address to members of the BNP while alerting them to my involvement in campaigns they would be none-too-pleased with. If the intention wasn't to do me harm, it was to make me fearful for my safety and cause me distress. It certainly did the latter, especially when the campaign escalated to direct threats of violence, causing me and my family great concern.
'Jonny Yeah' (aka Jon Chappell) was CCed on the emails threatening me with violence. Further threats involving the continued misuse of my data were then issued on his behalf (and on the behalf of other relevant parties) after I dared to list on my site the names and/or email addresses of all those who were associated with the earlier therat of violence. 'Jonny Yeah' also appears to have been closely associated with an anonymous SPA (single-purpose account) on YouTube that was used in this ongoing campaign of harassment.
I can prove that this account was used to repeatedly broadcast my home address to people the author regarded to be potentially hostile to me, and that this was visibly and quite obviously the only purpose of the account. Further, I can prove that an account in the name of 'JonnyYeah1′ was associated with this anonymous account and that an account in the name of Kooba Radio ('KoobaTV') was used to link to and promote the anonymous account in a way that cannot have escaped the attention of the main 'KoobaTV' account holder, even if they were to later claim that they had been hacked or set up or some such nonsense.
Kooba Radio was founded by… 'Jonny Yeah' (aka Jon Chappell), along with a man by the name of Alex Malloy (The Boy Malloy) and a mysterious woman by the name of Angela Collins (She Who Must Not Be Named).
After changing his story a few times, Johnny Yeah eventually denied involvement and claimed that Angela Collins had left Kooba Radio. He also appears to have changed the Kooba Radio email settings so they now reject any email from me as spam, but I have yet to confirm this. More on that in a moment.
Public versions of the ongoing online attacks from 'Cheerleaders' then started afresh, this time quite specifically on behalf of 'Johnny Yeah' and his Kooba Radio colleagues:
Faced with the following error message, legally, I needed to be certain that I had been deliberately spam-blocked, not least because of the delightfully self-reinforcing accusation of stalking that is so easily exploited in situations where people start refusing contact by email:
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 571 571 5.7.1 Message contains spam or virus : 16522:4131863472|125F (state 18).
The website and email accounts for Kooba Radio are hosted by a company by the name of RedWire Design.
The man who handles the bulk of enquiries for that company is…. Alex Malloy (Jon Chappell's partner in Kooba Radio).
So, wanting to give Alex a chance to tell his side of the story (Chapell's denials implied his involvement), and needing to go through Alex to find out if his 'client' had actively spamblocked me, I got in touch.
Having just been informed of pretty much everything I just explained to you, Alex was queried about the apparent spam block, but didn't act at all surprised about any of it and – speaking as an official representative of RedWire Design – had this to say…
… before promptly hanging up.
Alex is listed on the Redwire site as a Director of the company (citing Search Engine Optimisation as his lead skill, and you better believe there'll be more on that in moment).
The only person senior to Alex appears to be Managing Director, Nick Catt.
I should stress that there is no visible evidence of Nick Catt's involvement in this ongoing campaign of harassment at this stage, but his profile states that he "runs a live music and club night with Alex" (and another man), so he probably knows those 'Cheerleaders' who are in The Fighting Cocks at least, and doing the right thing is likely to complicate his life in those circles, so I am wary of any further approach through direct channels, especially with the ever-present risk that someone might hide behind a cry of "Stalker!" at any moment
Instead, I'm here in public (again) having to explain all this crap (again) and finding myself quite surprised that I have to drag some people kicking and screaming into the light just to get them to do the decent thing (again).
In about an hour, this post should be a high search result for queries relating to 'redwire design'. I am hoping that this will lead to a sudden upsurge of professionalism on their end, but I'm not holding my breath.
In fact, I'm half expecting some kind of misguided counter-attack by Alex Malloy or maybe even the company he does all them professional communications for.
Fine by me. I'd stake my SEO kung-fu against his any day… especially with the law, the truth and a shedload of evidence on my side.
UPDATE – 48 minutes, this took. Nowhere near the record, but still worthy of mention:
UPDATE (28 Jan) – Hey, guess what, everyone? They're going to be ratbags about it.
Alex Malloy cannot deny involvement in the KoobaTV account, and it is certainly reasonable in my view to ask who the primary account holder might be in the circumstances. He sees things differently.
Meanwhile the 'Cheerleaders' are hopping about angrily playing the side of law enforcement all of a sudden, outraged that I'd dare to ask anyone about their real names (when they claim it is not an issue); the abiding theme is that if I dare to object to being attacked, then they will continue to attack me… but it has already been established that they plan to continue to attack me anyway. It's just another piss-poor justification to add to the collection.
Quite inexplicably, the good people from ipetitions.com refuse to hand over the data we collected via their site prior to the sudden disappearance of our petition. I take this as a pretty good sign that they have somehow (for unknown reasons) deleted this data and are afraid to admit it, but that's a matter for later.
This week, and today especially, we need to focus our efforts on submitting the following five suggestions (and anything you would care to add) to the following email addresses. YOU WILL NEED TO DO THIS EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY VOICED YOUR SUPPORT VIA THE PETITION.
Vivien Hepworth, Chairman, (PCC) Independent Governance Review:
[Deadline: 25 January, i.e. today]
[deadline has passed for these submissions]
Ian Beales, Code Committee Secretary, Editor's Code of Practive Committee:
[Deadline: 31 January]
[deadline has passed for these submissions]
Please note that Independent Governance Review requires you to notify them if you do not wish your submission to be made public.
Here are the suggestions we are asking you to endorse (and add to, if you wish):
SUGGESTION ONE: Like-for-like placement of retractions, corrections and apologies in print and online (as standard).
Retractions, corrections, and apologies should normally be at least equally prominent to the original article, in both print and online editions. Any departure from this rule should only be in exceptional circumstances, and the onus on showing such circumstances should be on the publication.
SUGGESTION TWO: Original or redirected URLs for retractions, corrections & apologies online (as standard).
Retractions, corrections, and apologies in respect of online articles should always be displayed either at the original URL or at a URL to which the reader is redirected.
SUGGESTION THREE: The current Code contains no reference to headlines, and this loophole should be closed immediately.
Headlines should be covered by the same rules as the rest of a story. Further, headlines and titles for links should never be misleading in what they imply or offer and should always be substantiated by the article/contents.
SUGGESTION FOUR: Sources to be credited unless they do not wish to be credited or require anonymity/protection.
Sources should normally be credited. Any departure from this rule should only be when the source does not wish to be credited or if the source requires anonymity/protection.
SUGGESTION FIVE: A longer and more interactive consultation period for open discussion of more fundamental issues.
I submit all of the above without implying support for the PCC, the remainder of Code as it stands, or even the concept of self-regulation, and request that the 20th year of the PCC be marked with an open debate about its progress to date, and its future direction.
Sincere apologies for the inconvenience, and for the late notice. Good luck with your submission.
If you'd like to encourage/inspire others by going public with your submission immediately, a similar post will be going live at Liberal Conspiracy shortly (and making a quick/anonymous comment there is a LOT easier). Cheers all.
UPDATE – Liberal Conspiracy post is here.
Just to let you know; ipetitions.com are really dragging their heels on fixing whatever glitch resulted in the removal of the PCC petition, and they have so far ignored my request for the data collected so far (i.e. so I might at least deliver this ahead of the first deadline, which is now only a few days away).
An interim measure will be with you shortly. Updates to follow.
Kooba Radio
[NOTE – UK-based web hosts are particularly easy to bully thanks to certain peculiarities in local libel laws, and people acting for (or on behalf of) Redwire Design have been taking advantage of that, by bullying my priovider rather than admitting their role in… well, more bullying. If Nick Catt or Alex Malloy or anyone else at Redwire Design want to deny the involvement of their staff/facilities in online harassment (including publication/promotion of my home address), then they can initiate actual civil proceedings or shut up. My account is honest and truthful, backed by evidence none of them dare challenge, and it stands. Relocated article reinstated 4 May 2010.]
Kooba Radio bills itself as an "independent, non-profit, Internet-based radio station focused on alternative rock, playing unsigned bands from around the world" and was founded by Jon Chappell (Jonny Yeah), Alex Malloy (The Boy Malloy) and Angela Collins (She Who Must Not Be Named).
Kooba Radio is also a joke, and just a wee bit corrupt in places.
As most of you are aware, most of last year was marred by an ongoing campaign of harassment resulting from my encounter with the 'amateur terror expert' Dominic Wightman (a former associate of Glen Jenvey and Patrick Mercer). That campaign of harassment escalated to the repeated publication of my home address by a group calling themselves the 'Cheerleaders'. These people claim to be anti-fascist, but they had no qualms about broadcasting my address to BNP members alongside mentions of my involvement in anti-BNP campaigns such as Billy Brit. The 'Cheerleaders' have made a number of unsubstantiated claims in a belated attempt to justify their actions, but what's most likely is that they initially did this because Wightman told them to do it, and they painted themselves into a corner* from there.
Kooba Radio first came to my attention a couple of days before the email address of one of the founders (Jon Chappell, aka 'Jonny Yeah') turned up in the CC list of a group email from the 'Cheerleaders' threatening me with violence.
I wrote about that threat and included the relevant email addresses in the report. Months passed, then, over the New Year holiday period, when most people in the entertainment industry were busy with gigs (or at least sleeping it off), someone on that list wasted away their days and nights (again) making good on an earlier threat to share my personal data with Nigerian scammers if I refused to remove that list of names and email addresses.
When doing so, they posed as me, pretended that I was manager of a small local bank branch, and provided them with my main email address and (ex-directory) home address. Nice, huh?
I was recently assured in a further email from someone with a third-person fetish that "they're going to keep coming until you remove the email addresses from your blog".
This suggested to me that someone on that list didn't want to be visibly associated with what the 'Cheerleaders' had been up to, so I contacted everyone on that list, and offered them the chance to disassociate themselves from the online attacks and threats of violence. If they wanted to be removed from this post, all they had to do was account for their conduct to date (i.e. why not object before now?), and distance themselves from this ongoing campaign of harassment.
Only 'Jonny Yeah' took me up on the offer and asked for his name/address to be removed. Initially, he pretended not to know anything about the campaign of harassment. When this pretence was fatally undermined by the evidence, 'Jonny' suddenly lost interest in the attempt to have his name/address removed, but how he did it will be of most interest to any fans of Kooba Radio:
First, while claiming to know nothing about any of it, 'Jonny Yeah' implied that his inclusion on the list was the result of some random activity by fans who lifted his email address from his website. Because he's a superstar DJ, don't you know.
His claim was contradicted by the evidence, and I said so.
'Jonny Yeah' responded by attempting to explain away his demonstrable association with the Cheerleaders (and connections with leader Charlie Flowers) by saying that their 'very good' band (The Fighting Cocks) had featured on his show, and that was the limit of his involvement. Because he's a superstar DJ, don't you know.
His revised claim was contradicted by the evidence, and I said so.
'Jonny Yeah' then went on to claim that he hadn't been aware of any of this despite being CCed on the original threat and emailed specifically about it because Kooba Radio have strong spam filters to avoid all the 'crap' that results from his efforts to "enable young (and not so young) musicians to submit [material] to us". He then urged me to tune into his show that evening. Because he's a superstar DJ, don't you know.
This revised claim was contradicted by the evidence, and I said so.
I also made it absolutely clear to him at this stage that I could prove his association with a YouTube account created mainly to publish my home address and gave him one last opportunity to deny it… or perhaps explain himself.
'Jonny Yeah' responded by asking me what I thought of his show that evening.
At no stage did he express any interest in or disapproval of the repeated use of my personal data to intimidate me… most recently, on his behalf.
It wasn't until I made it clear that I intended to publish something about it that he made good with a vague denial of direct involvement, before quickly moving on to assure me that he wouldn't ever be mentioning me on his show, as if that's what I wanted.
Because he's a superstar DJ, don't you know.
Sadly for 'Jonny', this claim of star-status is also contradicted by the evidence:
1. The IP address used when sending almost all of his emails corresponds with IP data connected to many/most of the edits to this Wikipedia page about his radio 'station'. Said page is a shameless (and lengthy) construct of laughable self-promotion, the highlight of which is an account of 'Broadband Aid', a "new arrangement of Band Aid, the famous Christmas Single", in which the author goes on to specify (and link directly to) everybody who sang a line in this bold venture. There's no way it's going to survive in its current state once I've mentioned it here, so here's a screen capture for the ages.
2. Encouraged by 'Jonny Yeah', I did visit their site and explore their glorious world of online radio stardom. For starters, according to Alexa, my main website (bloggerheads.com) attracts a larger audience than theirs (koobaradio.co.uk)… by a factor of around 10-1 by the looks of things. Alexa is really only reliable as a thumbnail sketch, but the Twitter stats support this; I presently have 1,542 followers, while Kooba Radio have 175 (and 'Jonny Yeah' has 95). The YouTube stats also support this; with Bloggerheads currently standing at 10,210 channel views and KoobaTV at 1,702. Their most popular video got 402 views. My least popular video got 843. I say all of this while recognising the modesty of my own efforts… it just amused me to be dismissed as a delusional fanboy by a guppy who thinks he's a shark. The only thing that gives this tosser any power/edge over me is his willingness to participate in the kind of anonymous harassment that almost every web user recognises as being beyond the pale. It also needs to be noted that the audience of this radio 'station' listens via these channels; it is not a case of them having a smaller web audience than their actual audience, because the web audience is their audience. There's more in #4, but if 'Jonny Yeah' is worried about going mainstream, he shouldn't let those concerns keep him up nights; the nearest he's likely to get to compromising his anti-establishment principles is accepting the 'employee of the month' award at Burger King.
On the subject of YouTube, I wasn't able to mention this before now because Google only got around to suspending the relevant account yesterday, but someone at Kooba Radio used their YouTube channel to link to and promote another YouTube account created mainly (if not only) to publish and promote my ex-directory home address as part of an ongoing campaign of harassment. I'd make a bigger deal of my not knowing exactly who at Kooba Radio did this if it weren't for the fact that the account JonnyYeah1 was also visibly associated with that same online attack. At the very least, it can be said with some certainty that when 'Jonny Yeah' claimed to be completely unaware of the campaign of harassment yesterday, he was lying. This, sadly, undermines the vague denials he made about direct involvement before signing off.
3. It also needs to be noted that 'Jonny Yeah' is a lot closer to some of the bands he promotes than he lets on. This is what the professionals in the show business call a 'conflict if interest'… not that I would dare to imply that Jon Chappell (aka Jonny Yeah) is in any way professional.
4. Attention, unsigned bands (and bands signed with small labels): not only is Kooba Radio co-founder and 'headline' DJ Jon Chappell a pathetic lying scoundrel who knowingly participates in anonymous web bullying, but he's most likely going to end up being a complete waste of your time even if he decides to help you rather than, say, put the safety of your family at risk for shits and giggles. I could help you to reach a much bigger audience without even trying, and even if the deal goes hopelessly sour, there's no way I'm going to be as much of a twat about it as this guy.
(Not that I've any interest in being a superstar DJ at this stage of my life… or a twat. I'm just saying is all.)
[*At any stage, the 'Cheerleaders' can render themselves an irrelevance by rolling over on Dominic Wightman. I've said so privately will happily declare it publicly. I have no interest in vendettas, as my treatment of Jenvey after his confession should make clear; there are some who may beg to differ on that point, but like 'Jonny Yeah' they've been telling outright lies about the extent of their involvement in this affair. I'm not out to 'get at' any of the 'Cheerleaders', but if I have to, I will go through them in order to clearly establish the role played by Wightman. At least one of the 'Cheerleaders' should be warned that recent impersonations could lead to the closure of their email account regardless of what I have to say about it, and a window of opportunity is likely to close with it; they will not be able to present me with solid evidence of Wightman's role if the receiving account has been deactivated. The 'Cheerleaders' have made a number of vague claims about being deceived by Dominic Wightman, and if they want to prove it, then now is the time, and there is nothing holding them back if the evidence is there. After all, they can't possibly claim that they refuse to reveal relevant evidence on the grounds of a person's right to privacy.]
My heart skipped a beat for a moment there
Anyway, back to life and back to reality…
Morning all. Sorry about the sudden outage of the PCC petition. It appears to have disappeared late last night GMT, and it was after hometime (EST) for the ipetitions.com team when I contacted them. My account is still live, as is the test petition I created after signing up, but the PCC petition has mysteriously disappeared (and, before you ask, there is no 'delete' button for me to accidentally lean against).
In a few hours, it'll be 9am EST and (hopefully) something can be done about the situation. Cheers.

Literature Annotations
St. Andrews, B. A. (Bonnie) |
Genre | Poem |
Keywords | Cancer, Death and Dying, Hospitalization, Survival, Technology |
Summary | Two metaphors permeate this poem about drinking a barium containing liquid prior to fluoroscopy to determine cancer growth and staging. The first metaphor involves the liquid as alcohol and the radiology suite as a rather perverse bar. Hence the patient drinks the proffered liquid which "froths and hisses like volcanic vodka / or martinis by Dr. Hyde." The second metaphor is 'cancer is war.' The body is seen as a battleground in which the "army of metastasizing cells / advances, armed and dangerous." The patient realizes that medical interventions are allies in this fight, but drinks the barium "as Socrates / must have: one eye on the door." |
Commentary | This poem would be an interesting companion to Susan Sontag's Illness as Metaphor (see this database). The word choice is powerful in the poem, reflecting the strong emotions that occur with a cancer diagnosis. The poem, arranged as a series of two line stanzas has one rhymed couplet, which is the only set with full stop punctuation at the end of each line. This couplet refers to the interaction between patient and radiology technician and ends: "We do not speak of cancer." What is left unsaid in that exchange is most dramatically said in the poem. |

I like the direction this is going, nice ideas being tossed around. And I like Lefty's vision on this. As for the woods, not sure what others' experiences are, but I found that wenge at times can be a bit brittle, at least I had issues with the pieces I had. Something like cocobolo or bubinga should be nice, stable (if it is aged enough), and affordable. If you want to stay American, a figured maple variation would be nice (curly, quilted, birdseye etc), walnut and mesquite should work also. Not a big fan of the artificial materials, but in the end the decision should be guided by how the overall package works.
I like wood handles as well. Walnut, maple and cherry are all locally available. Curious about a response to Devin's question.
What's Haslinger use a lot of? Is it Birdseye maple? It's stunning stuff....

Email me at: email@example.com
I usually find it distracting from the handle wood and/or blade, and I have rarely seen knives where I feel the mokume adds to the overall look of the knife -- though there have been some exceptions. If a knife has a strong patterned/figured wood for the handle, mokume usually clashes IMO. And if your blade has a nice damascus, the mokume also competes with the blade steel.
Where I have seen it working well is when it is used with more muted woods and mono-steels or when a very thin amount is used as a spacer or to top off a ferrule. A little flair in these instances can be good. But the thick mokume bolsters don't do it for me with damascus steel or nice wood. My eye simply rejects having two metal patterns right next to each other.
But that's just me. Three patterns in a knife is just too much.
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States...nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge. -- Isaac Asimov
I think it has already been said but there's so many pages I don't wanna go through them, but I like this handle from Twistington. Simple but nice, especially so if you polished the tang to the same level as the frontcap, would be easier to make than a bolster
I also think that some of the Twistington handles look really great, and that the idea of a modified old-school butchers handle is cool, but I have some reservations about the idea. What looks comfortable and sounds like a cool handle design concept on paper (or forum) does not necessarily make a good handle in reality. Let's also remember that a bull-nose has a very different application than a gyuto and the different mechanics may mean that a good handle for one doesn't transfer to the other.
Also, I have a hard time endorsing a handle that I (and I'm assuming most potential buyers) have never actually held, much less spent any length of time working with. I've used some handles from some pretty well regarded makers that look REALLY cool on screen, but were pretty fundamentally flawed (IMO) when it came to actually using them for a few hours.
While I'm in buzz-kill mode, I'll also point out that while Twistington's bolster looks really stunning, I don't understand it's functional benefit (which wouldn't keep me from ordering it on a custom) but, there also appears to be a pretty sizable gap where it's fitted around the tang.... a good example of a bolster introducing new possible problems.
I hate to sound negative on this great, positive thread, and I'm not saying that I think that the modified butcher handle is a "bad" idea, just that it's an "unknown" that needs some serious R&D and vetting before we order up 80 of them.
For those still interested, here are some better pictures of the handle on Karring's #10(as in 10th made) Martell gyuto. My Martell (the one Chuckles posted pics of) is a later, non-numbered piece and it shows some very subtle changes to the design (over all its thinner and rounder) but I actually like the extra beef and angular definition in the #10. Again, just to be clear: I AM NOT, NOR SHOULD ANYONE ELSE, SUGGESTING THAT WE COPY ANYONE'S WORK! I'm just posting this as food for thought as to a non-coke-bottle evolutionary path for a western handle that's tried, tested, and VERY good.

sorry =DUntil Tom comes up with an anticipated price, I think it's best NOT to even mention a price. You're going to create an expectation that something can be done at a certain price and, at this time, I'm assuming that there has been NO mention of a possible price because nothing has been even tentatively agreed upon except for the basic profile of the knife and the steel.
it was not my intention
i really like the idea of no bolster.
Justin, you take really good pictures.
