A Trip to the Circus Part 3"The Tamer? So, do you work here or something? Do you work for Mr. Magnificent? And why did you lock me in here?!" Nicole asked, franticly pulling on the cage door, trying to open it."Sheesh. I thought MM said the other one was the one asking all the questions." The Tamer snickered. "But I suppose I can indulge you, since it won't matter in a few minutes. I guess you could say I work here. I'm the one who is in charge of all the animals at the circus. Including the ones in this tent."As Nicole looked around puzzled, she noticed her head was starting to hurt. She also noticed that her hands and feet were starting to go numb. She could no longer hold onto the cage door, so she back away into the cage. "Animals? The only animal in here is that horse, who keeps grunting at me."The Tamer waked around the cage to come out of the shadows. He was tall, about 6-6, had short, pitch-black hair, and wore an old

We bought this to replace our Dyson, and I was hopeful based on the reviews I read. While the vacuum is certainly powerful, I actually find it difficult to push on our low pile rugs. I also think it is noisy, and the extension tube is not easy to maneuver and is not particularly long. On the positive side, the on board tools are very good, and it is easy to put together and empty the canister. For the money, I would rate it as good.
I bought this vac for my son and daughter in law. In my experience, you can pay a lot of money for a vacuum that really under performs it's price and reputation. This vac is well priced and has gotten rave reviews from my son, who I is generally a snob in theses matters. I would definitely recommend it.
I needed a vacuum that was not too expensive and great quality. I got both with this vacuum. It's easy to clean. It weights a bit but it does the job.
Easy and fast clean up on carpet or tile. GREAT PRICE!
I've been using this for a year & love it as much as the first day I opened it! It's light, doesn't take up a lot of room and is easy to empty.
This vacuum cleaner is a very well made product. It has better than adequate suction and handles fairly easily. It is not very heavy. I bought the refurbished one and am well pleased that it is just what I needed.
This is the best vacuum ever!. Works very well. I've having this vacuum for four months and runs great!
The vacuum is light and easy to move around. The way the belt is set up on the brush bar enables the machine to get close to the wall from either side. It does such a good job that you really should empty the container after doing a room or two, but that is easy. Do wish it had a light.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The rail profile is the cross sectional shape of a railway rail,[1] perpendicular to the length of the rail.
Early rails were made of wood, cast iron or wrought iron. All modern rails are hot rolled steel of a specific cross sectional profile. Typically the cross section (profile) approximates to an I-beam but is asymmetric about a horizontal axis (however see grooved rail below). The head is profiled to resist wear and to give a good ride, the foot is profiled to suit the fixing system.
Unlike some other uses of iron and steel, railway rails are subject to very high stresses and have to be made of very high quality steel. It took many decades to improve the quality of the materials, including the change from iron to steel. Minor flaws in the steel that pose no problems in reinforcing rods for buildings can, however, lead to broken rails and dangerous derailments when used on railway tracks.
By and large, the heavier the rails and the rest of the trackwork, the heavier and faster the trains these tracks can carry.
The rails represent a substantial fraction of the cost of a railway line. Only a small number of rail sizes are made by steelworks at one time, so a railway must choose the nearest suitable size. Worn, heavy rail from a mainline is often reclaimed and downgraded for re-use on a branchline, siding or yard.
The weight of a rail per length is an important factor in determining rails strength and hence axleloads and speeds.
Weights are measured in pounds per yard or kilograms per metre; the pounds-per-yard figure is almost exactly double the kilograms-per-metre figure. Rails in Canada, the United Kingdom and United States are described using imperial units. In Australia, metric units are used as in mainland Europe.
In rail terminology Pound is used synonymously with pounds per yard, e.g. a 132 pound rail means a rail of 132 lb/yd.
Rails are made in a large number of different sizes. Some common European rail sizes include:
In the countries of former USSR 65 kg/m (131 lb/yd) rails and 75 kg/m (151.2 lb/yd) rails (not thermally hardened) are common. Thermally hardened 75 kg/m (151.2 lb/yd) rails also have been used on heavy-duty railroads like Baikal-Amur Mainline, but have proven themselves deficient in operation and were mainly rejected in favor of 65 kg/m (131 lb/yd) rails.[2]
The American Society of Civil Engineers (or ASCE) specified rail profiles in 1893 for 5-pound-per-yard (2.48 kg/m) increments from 40 to 100 pounds per yard (19.8 to 49.6 kg/m). Height of rail equaled width of foot for each ASCE tee-rail weight; and the profiles specified fixed proportion of weight in head, web and foot of 42%, 21% and 37%, respectively. ASCE 90 lb/yd (44.6 kg/m) profile was adequate; but heavier weights were less satisfactory. In 1909, the American Railway Association (or ARA) specified standard profiles for 10 lb/yd (4.96 kg/m) increments from 60 to 100 lb/yd (29.8 to 49.6 kg/m). The American Railway Engineering Association (or AREA) specified standard profiles for 100 lb/yd (49.6 kg/m), 110 lb/yd (54.6 kg/m) and 120 lb/yd (59.5 kg/m) rails in 1919, for 130 lb/yd (64.5 kg/m) and 140 lb/yd (69.4 kg/m) rails in 1920, and for 150 lb/yd (74.4 kg/m) rails in 1924. The trend was to increase rail height/foot-width ratio and strengthen the web. Disadvantages of the narrower foot were overcome through use of tie-plates. AREA recommendations reduced the relative weight of rail head down to 36%, while alternative profiles reduced head weight to 33% in heavier weight rails. Attention was also focused on improved fillet radii to reduce stress concentration at the web junction with the head. AREA recommended the ARA 90 lb/yd (44.6 kg/m) profile.[3] Old ASCE rails of lighter weight remained in use, and satisfied the limited demand for light rail for a few decades. AREA merged into the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association in 1997. By the mid-20th century, most rail production was medium heavy (112 to 119 lb/yd or 55.6 to 59.0 kg/m) and heavy (127 to 140 lb/yd or 63.0 to 69.4 kg/m) Sizes under 100 lb/yd (49.6 kg/m) rail are usually for lighter duty freight, low use trackage, or light rail. Track using 100 to 120 lb/yd (49.6 to 59.5 kg/m) rail is for lower speed freight branch lines or rapid transit (for example, most of the New York City Subway system track is constructed with 100 lb/yd (49.6 kg/m) rail). Main line track is usually built with 130 lb/yd (64.5 kg/m) rail or heavier. Some common North American rail sizes include:[4]
Some common North American crane rail sizes include:
Some common Australian rail sizes include:
Early rails were used on horse drawn wagonways, originally with wooden rails,[6] but from the 1760s using strap-iron rails, which consisted of thin strips of cast iron fixed onto wooden rails.[7] These rails were too fragile to carry heavy loads, but because the initial construction cost was less, this method was sometimes used to quickly build an inexpensive rail line. Strap rails sometimes separated from the wooden base and speared into the floor of the carriages above, creating what was referred to as a "snake head". However, the long-term expense involved in frequent maintenance outweighed any savings.[8][9]
These were superseded by cast iron rails that were flanged (i.e. 'L' shaped) and with the wagon wheels flat. An early proponent of this design was Benjamin Outram. His partner William Jessop preferred the use of "edge rails" in 1789 where the wheels were flanged and, over time, it was realised that this combination worked better.
The earliest of these in general use were the so-called cast iron fishbelly rails from their shape. Rails made from cast iron were brittle and broke easily. They could only be made in short lengths which would soon become uneven. John Birkinshaw's 1820 patent,[10] as rolling techniques improved, introduced wrought iron in longer lengths, replaced cast iron and contributed significantly to the explosive growth of railroads in the period 1825-40. The cross-section varied widely from one line to another, but were of three basic types as shown in the diagram. The parallel cross-section which developed in later years was referred to as Bullhead.
Meanwhile, in May 1831, the first flanged T rail (also called T-section) arrived in America from Britain and was laid into the Pennsylvania Railroad by Camden and Amboy Railroad. They were also used by Charles Vignoles in Britain.
The first steel rails were made in 1857 by Robert Forester Mushet, who laid them at Derby station in England.[11] Steel is a much stronger material, which steadily replaced iron for use on railway rail and allowed much longer lengths of rails to be rolled.
The American Railway Engineering Association (AREA) and the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) specified carbon, manganese, silicon and phosphorus content for steel rails. Tensile strength increases with carbon content, while ductility decreases. AREA and ASTM specified 0.55 to 0.77 percent carbon in 70-to-90-pound-per-yard (34.7 to 44.6 kg/m) rail, 0.67 to 0.80 percent in rail weights from 90 to 120 pounds per yard (44.6 to 59.5 kg/m), and 0.69 to 0.82 percent for heavier rails. Manganese increases strength and resistance to abrasion. AREA and ASTM specified 0.6 to 0.9 percent manganese in 70 to 90 pound rail and 0.7 to 1 percent in heavier rails. Silicon is preferentially oxidised by oxygen and is added to reduce the formation of weakening metal oxides in the rail rolling and casting procedures.[12] AREA and ASTM specified 0.1 to 0.23 percent silicon. Phosphorus and sulfur are impurities causing brittle rail with reduced impact-resistance. AREA and ASTM specified maximum phosphorus concentration of 0.04 percent.[13]
The use of welded rather than jointed track began in around the 1940s and had become widespread by the 1960s.
Flanged rail was an early type of rail and had an 'L' cross section in which the flange kept an unflanged wheel on the track. The flanged rail has seen a minor revival in the 1950s, as guide bars, with the Paris Métro (Rubber-tyred metro or French Métro sur pneus) and more recently as the Guided bus. In the Cambridgeshire guided busway the rail is a 350 mm (13.78 in) thick concrete beam with a 180 mm (7.09 in) lip to form the flange. The buses run on normal road wheels with side mounted guidewheels to run against the flanges. Buses are steered normally when off the busway, analogous to the 18th-century wagons which could be manoeuvered around pitheads before joining the track for the longer haul.
Baulk road was an early type of longitudinally supported rail, pioneered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Barlow rail was invented by William Henry Barlow in 1849. It was designed to be laid straight onto the ballast, but the lack of sleepers meant that it was difficult to keep it in gauge.
Flat bottomed rail is the dominant rail profile in worldwide use.
Flanged T rail (also called T-section) is the name for flat bottomed rail used in North-America. Iron-strapped wooden rails were used on all American railways until 1831. Col. Robert L. Stevens, the President of the Camden and Amboy Railroad, conceived the idea that an all-iron rail would be better suited for building a railroad. There were no steel mills in America capable of rolling long lengths, so he sailed to England which was the only place where his flanged T rail (also called T-section) could be rolled. Railways in England had been using rolled rail of other cross-sections which the ironmasters had produced.
In May 1831, the first 500 rails, each 15 feet (4.57 m) long and weighing 36 pounds per yard (17.9 kg/m), reached Philadelphia and were placed in the track, marking the first use of the flanged T rail. Afterwards, the flanged T rail became employed by all railroads in the United States.
Col. Stevens also invented the hooked spike for attaching the rail to the crosstie (or sleeper). At the present time, the screw spike is being used widely in place of the hooked spike.
Vignoles rail is the popular name of the flat-bottomed rail, recognising engineer Charles Vignoles who introduced it to Britain. Charles Vignoles observed that wear was occurring with wrought iron rails and cast iron chairs upon stone blocks, the most common system at that time. In 1836 he recommended flat-bottomed rail to the London and Croydon Railway for which he was consulting engineer. His original rail had a smaller cross-section to the Stevens rail, with a wider base than modern rail, fastened with screws through the base. Other lines which adopted it were the Hull and Selby, the Newcastle and North Shields, and the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal Navigation and Railway Company.[14]
When it became possible to preserve wooden sleepers with mercuric chloride (a process called Kyanising) and creosote, they gave a much quieter ride than stone blocks and it was possible to fasten the rails directly using clips or rail spikes. Their use spread worldwide and acquired Vignoles' name.
The joint where the ends of two rails are connected to each other is the weakest part of a rail line. The earliest iron rails were joined by a simple fishplate or bar of metal bolted through the web of the rail. Stronger methods of joining two rails together have been developed. When sufficient metal is put into the rail joint, the joint is almost as strong as the rest of the rail length. The noise generated by trains passing over the rail joints, described as "the clickity clack of the railroad track", can be eliminated by welding the rail sections together. Continuously welded rail has a uniform top profile even at the joints.
In late 1830s England, railway lines had a vast range of different patterns. One of the earliest lines to use double-headed rail was the London and Birmingham Railway, which had offered a prize for the best design. This rail was supported by chairs and the head and foot of the rail had the same profile. The supposed advantage was that, when the head became worn, the rail could be turned over and re-used. In practice, this form of recycling was not very successful as the chair caused dents in the lower surface, and double-headed rail evolved into bullhead rail in which the head was more substantial than the foot.
Bullhead rail was the standard for the British railway system from the mid-19th until the mid-20th century. One of the first British Standards, BS 9, was for bullhead rail - it was originally published in 1905, and revised in 1924. Rails manufactured to the 1905 standard were referred to as "O.B.S." (Original), and those manufactured to the 1924 standard as "R.B.S." (Revised).[15]
Bullhead rail is similar to double-headed rail except that the profile of the head of the rail is not the same as that of the foot. Bullhead rail evolved from double-headed rail but, because it did not have a symmetrical profile, it was never possible to flip it over and use the foot as the head. Therefore, because the rail no longer had the originally-perceived benefit of reusability, it was a very expensive method of laying track. Heavy cast iron chairs were needed to support the rail, which was secured in the chairs by wooden (later steel) wedges or "keys" which required regular attention.
Bullhead rail has now been almost completely replaced by flat-bottom rail on British railways, although it survives on the national rail system in some sidings or branch lines. The London Underground continued to use bullhead rail after it had been phased out elsewhere in Britain, but in the last few years has there been a concerted effort to convert its track to flat-bottom rail.[16]
For turnouts (BrE: points), the tips of the switch blades have to be planed down to fit snugly against the fixed or stock rail. The left-hand diagram shows this: on the left is the dotted outline of the rail, with the part remaining after planing-shown shown by a solid line in red. On the right is shown how the two rails fit together when the turnout is closed. The resulting thin pieces of steel are weak, and so old-style turnouts used to make a relatively sudden and sharp angle against the stock rail. With a sudden change in direction, trains were given a jolt and had to proceed slowly.
The right-hand diagram shows a how a tangential turnout is made. A lower, more squat profile rail is used to make the switch blades. On the left is the profile of this squat switch rail. The centre diagram shows how the switch rail has to be planed, and on the right it is shown fitting against the stock rail. Note that a thicker base is used to raise the tops level with each other.
The tangential switch rail has less steel planed away, and the mid part of the switch "scallops" into the web of the stock rail for greater strength. The higher baseplate also supports the switch rail better. The stronger switch allows that switch to be curved, reducing any jolt to the train and allowing higher speeds.
Tangential turnouts still lack a transition at the switch, so there is still a jolt at the switch, but much smaller jolt than with the old-style turnouts.
The weight of the two types of rail is about the same.
Where a rail is laid in a Road surface (pavement) or within grassed surfaces, there has to be accommodation for the flange. This is provided by a slot called the flangeway. The rail is then known as grooved rail, groove rail, or girder rail. The flangeway has the railhead on one side and the guard on the other. The guard carries no weight, but may act as a checkrail.
Grooved rail was invented in 1852 by Alphonse Loubat, a French inventor who developed improvements in tram and rail equipment, and helped develop tram lines in New York City and Paris. The invention of grooved rail enabled tramways to be laid without causing a nuisance to other road users, except unsuspecting cyclists, who could get their wheels caught in the groove. The grooves may become filled with gravel and dirt (particularly if infrequently used or after a period of idleness) and need clearing from time to time, this being done by a "scrubber" tram. Failure to clear the grooves can lead to a bumpy ride for the passengers, damage to either wheel or rail and possibly derailing.
The traditional form of grooved rail is the girder guard section illustrated to the right. The rail is a modified form of flanged rail and like it requires mounting for weight transfer and gauge stabilisation. If the weight is carried by the roadway subsurface, steel ties are needed at regular intervals for the gauge. Installing these means that the whole surface needs to be excavated and reinstated.
Block rail is a lower profile form of girder guard rail. The web of a girder guard rail is eliminated. In profile it is more like a solid form of bridge rail with a flangeway and its guard added. Simply removing the web and combining the head section directly with the foot section would result in a weak rail, and so additional thickness is required in the combined section.[17]
LR55 rail is a special rail section, designed for use in embedded tramway track installations. The rail itself is like a lop-sided "V". It is a top-suspended rail: the load is transmitted by the rail head, rather than through a web to the rail foot. Slots are cut in the roadway and precast concrete troughs laid in the slots. A polyurethane mastic provides a resilient cushion between the rail and the concrete, minimising transmitted noise, and providing insulation against leakage currents.[18] Since the load is spread across a wider base, it requires less depth for a sub-base than conventional tramway track avoiding the need to disturb existing underground utility services. The installation and maintenance time, and hence cost, is thus greatly reduced. Gauge is maintained by the pavement in which it is installed; there is no need for separate gauging bars between the rails.[19][20] LR55 has been tested in parts of the Sheffield Supertram network.[21]
The same rail has been tested to 80 t (79 long tons; 88 short tons) axle loadings for mainline use, and can be used in tunnels and other locations where the loading gauge is restricted. Replacing flat bottom girder rails on sleepers and ballast with LR55 in tunnels can increase the head room by a minimum of 300 mm (11.8 in), without the need to excavate the tunnel invert. A method statement to undertake this transformation allows contractors to proceed on an incremental basis without closing the tunnel to rail traffic. Temporary transition rails link flat bottom and LR55 rails, until the conversion is completed.[22] The extra loading gauge can then be used to install overhead electrification, or to move larger rail vehicles. These can include double deck passenger trains and freight trains with high cube (9 ft 6 in or 2,896 mm) maritime containers.[23]
Rails should be made as long as possible since joints between raillengths are a source of weakness. As manufacturing processes have improved, rail lengths have increased. Long rails are flexible, and there is no problem going around curves.[citation needed][24]
Welding of rails into longer lengths was first introduced around 1893. Welding can be done in a central depot, or in the field.
It has long been recognised that conical wheels and rails that are sloped by the same amount follow curves better than cylindrical wheels and vertical rails. A few railways such as Queensland Railways have always had cylindrical wheels until much heavier traffic required a change.[26] Cylindrical wheel treads have to "skid" on track curves so increase both drag and rail and wheel wear. On very straight track a cylindrical wheel tread rolls more freely and does not "hunt." The gauge is narrowed slightly and the flange fillets keep the flanges from rubbing the rails. United States practice is a 1 in 20 cone when new. As the tread wears it approaches an unevenly cylindrical tread, at which time the wheel is trued on a wheel lathe or replaced.
Rails are made from high quality steel and not in huge quantities compared with other forms of steel, and so the number of manufacturers in any one country tends to be limited.

You CANNOT go wrong with Marks work. Top notch all of the way.
You may want the hi ride to get the long muzzle of the 34 off of the ground and more conceable. But consider this...unless your long waisted and short armed, your'e gonna be pulling the gun out of your armpit upon presentation.
Something to consider is more cant, med ride and wear it farther back than usual by a tad.
Shoot well..............
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice..........Rush
Good Points Eric,
I've been researching all night and think I want something like the Alessi CQC/S for easy on off, and I've read a lot of good stuff about it. Not sure it was made for the G34 though. I'm checking with lightningarms now.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Some clarification here-Even though my Stead-Fast rides rather high, there's no real contortion during the draw because the front is cut low; down to the ejection port and level with the belt line. So once the muzzle is raised to the top of the belt the firearm is drawn.

Oregonshooter I don't carry a 34 but i shoot one a lot. I carry a 19 in a Blade-tech IWB holster,but i shoot a lot of USPSA/IDPA matches and i use my 34 in a Comp-Tac holster.They have a OWB holster that you might be interested in because it rides high on the waist,too high for my taste, but may be just what your looking for.These holsters are very fast, and the Comp-tac customer service is top notch.Check them out.
Thanks for the help guys, and Mark for pointing out the cut on the belt line.
My real issue that I'm dealing with is the easy on/off as I have to dis-gun when I get to work and many times it's in the parking lot. My old carry mode is a VM-II so taking the rig off is easy to do discretely. I'm torn between the high ride that requires loops and the easy on/off of a CQC/S.
Lightning arms did not have anything in G34 length so I will likely get Mark's rig as I'm getting tired of year long waits for quality leather. I know Mark's stuff is top notch, and the wait times are very reasonable.
I have had a C.T.A.C. in the past and like Comp-Tac's stuff, but I'm just not a Kydex guy.
I didn't notice this before, but you ACCELORATOR PADDLE HOLSTER is using the same holster as the Stead-fast. That would solve my easy on/off issue.
From the photo it looks like the paddle rides quite a bit lower though. Is that the case? Is it realistic to cover this rig with a heavy t-shirt or does it stick out from the body a bit?
Printed out a form and will sending off for one of the above along with that Aviator ASAP.
Never mind, I sent off the Aviator today and a request for the stead-fast. I'll go with max concealment first and see if I can't live with the belt slot issue.

After spending two months trying to come up with a single argument that there is any reason for 10 counties in northeast Colorado to form the state of Northern Colorado, I've come up with a reason. It's not particularly compelling, but it's something. They've already got their state university. The university in Greeley is called the University of Northern Colorado.
Memories of Ross Grimes Editor:
By Ryan Ward As I stand fly-fishing in the South Platte River, I feel a spirit come upon me. At that very moment, Collin Backowski of Pine Junction was buried beneath a block of ice on Mount Hood that was as deadly as it was emblematic of the beauty that life has to offer. What I felt while standing in the river had to have been the light that sustained his being. His desire to explore the unknown took him to that fatal moment, one that literally took his breath away.
Cloud-based data storage won't be safe for Jeffco students Editor:
After months of conjecture, the shoe finally dropped last week and all but the most notorious of the cheaters from the biogenesis scandal accepted suspensions from Major League Baseball and agreed to sit out the rest of the 2013 regular season. And yet, this resolution leaves me feeling like the integrity of our national pastime is still suspect from at least a couple perspectives.
Evergreen should be proud of Jazz Festival Editor: While the experience is fresh, let me express my appreciation for the work the board and staff of the Evergreen Jazz Festival has done since my resignation in 2011. The community can stand proud of the very recent production of the festival.
By Jim Rohrer I grew up in Ohio where the rivalry with Michigan is taught as a family value. Further, I lived in Michigan, and I witnessed firsthand the difficulty of running a business successfully because the prevailing union mentality focuses on "what's in it for me vs. how can I help my company succeed." So if I seem to be defending Detroit over its recent bankruptcy, that is not my intention. But I do see some who seem to be delighted that this once great city has had to admit to being broken. It is a very sad event.
Thanks to everyone who helped with Evergreen Music Festival Editor: On behalf of the Evergreen Music Festival and Art Show, we would like to thank all those who help make this celebration of our country through beautiful music, family, friends and community possible:

Independent republic occupying the western part of the island of Haiti in the West Indies; area, 10,204 square miles. The island was discovered in 1492 by Columbus who returned in 1493 bringing several Dominican missionaries; since then the western part of the island has never lacked pastors. In 1511, it was divided between the dioceses of Santo Domingo and Concepción de la Vega. Settlements were established, 1659, by the French, who took possession of the western part of the island in 1697. Continual insurrections against French and Spanish rulers were disastrous to the missions, and the massacre of whites in 1804 when Haitian independence was established caused nearly all the clergy to leave the colony, though several missionaries returned in 1806. There was no hierarchy from 1804 until 1860 when a concordat was signed with Rome, guaranteeing the protection and support of the government for the Catholic religion, which is the only source of order and progress in a country hampered by disorder, illiteracy, and instability. In 1861 five sees were erected. Haiti is represented at the Holy See by an envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, and an internuncio resides in Port-au-Prince.

I just watched this episode a 2nd time & realized that when Andy was talking to Traci about her " family" (Dove, Chris, Gail, Luke etc.) she didn't mention Sam. Any ideas why she would have omitted him? I find it strange too that we didn't see any interaction between Andie & Luke after what she witnessed in the hospital.

Even More Analysis: Steelers Overcome Penalties, Whip Raiders 35-3
Even More Analysis: Steelers Overcome Penalties, Whip Raiders 35-3
Posted on November 21, 2010 by ryan Steelers Lounge http://www.steelerslounge.com/2010/1...rs-game-notes/ First things first: good teams overcome atrocious officiating. I'm always blathering on about how the refs don't matter … but good god, man. It started early with the silly roughing the passer penalty on LaMarr Woodley and by the end of the day the Steelers had been penalized 14 for 163 yards. And still won by 32 points. The game was over by halftime. In fact, I thought Oakland's best chance to compete involved Bruce Gradkowski under center but by the time Jason Campbell was pulled early in the third quarter the game had pretty much been decided. Whatever, I'll take the 35-3 beating, and like Pats fans last week, will happily announce that my team is back. It's a nice feeling, especially since I was starting to think there was something to this Curse of 6-3. Instead, Big Ben got his first big lopsided win of 2010 and he did as much damage with his feet as he did with his arm. And with that, onto some other random observations: * We've been talking about this since preseason and today, for the first time, Manny Sanders and Antonio Brown got a hat. Sanders dropped a nice Big Ben pass on the second possession but hauled in a nifty touchdown in the second quarter. Brown also had a big catch for 21 yards and a punt return for touchdown that was (rightly) called back for two blocks in the back. But more than that, Brown gives the Steelers something they haven't had since Randle El's first stint in Pittsburgh: a punt returner who can do more than fair catch. It's refreshing to think that the Steelers are actively trying to improve the special teams instead of hiding it. (By the way, how far has Tony Hills fallen on the depth chart that he's inactive on game day when the Steelers have the motliest offensive line in tackle football? Answer: the next move will involve him cleaning out his locker and getting a part-time job with Skippy at the Monroeville Sheetz.) * Despite the rotating door that has become the Steelers o-line, they collectively did a swell job of keeping Ben upright. Richard Seymour saying "Eff it, I'm going to the locker room for some hot wings, I'll see you guys in a couple hours" right before halftime certainly helped, and the Raiders rushing four most of the afternoon did too. But we've seen the fat five guys in front of Roethlisberger struggle in similar situations in the past. * I hesitate to even write this because injuries are obviously random. Either way, here goes: the Steelers have to stop getting hurt. That's all there is to it. We're at the point where Pittsburgh will be signing o-linemen off the street. Of course, as JJ points out on a weekly basis, having a roster full of C- linemen isn't a bug, it's a feature. * As happens every Sunday, my buddy texted me during the game. He made a good point after Ike's pick-six was called back because Deebo tackled Jason Campbell in an intimidating manner: that interception and touchdown could cost Taylor a trip to the Pro Bowl. Not only has he earned it, he's quietly having one of his best seasons in the NFL. But more than that, I wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers, half joking, put an incentive clause in Taylor's last deal that paid him $10 million dollars for a interception returned for a touchdown. So thanks, Tony Corrente. You just cost Ike his eight-figure bonus. * More special teams love: Anthony Madison was downfield and in the punt returner's face on every punt that I can remember. And if he wasn't in on the play he did his part, maintained his lane, and let his teammates clean up. I'm beginning to think that Bob Ligashesky was basically the Steelers' version of Creed Bratton. * Random on top of random: congrats to Brian St. Pierre for throwing a touchdown against the Ravens Sunday. Pretty sure that was the highlight of his day. * Every week I marvel at the fact that Rashard Mendenhall hasn't fumbled and today that streak finally ended. Thing is, I can't complain because if you're going to put the ball on the turf you might as well do it late in the fourth quarter against a team that had already given up. * Santonio Holmes had another game-winning catch for the luckiest team on Earth, but Mike Wallace continues to get better every week, particularly when it comes to making plays in the middle of the field. And while — to paraphrase Rick Pitino — Holmes ain't walkin' through that door, Wallace, Sanders and Brown can go a long way to fill that void. Related: that was the most complete performance by Roethlisberger that I can remember. A lot of that has to do with that patchwork o-line holding steady (and, for the life of me, I have no idea why the Raiders didn't blitz Big Ben silly given what happened last Sunday night), but you have to credit him for making sometimes tough throws (and, perhaps more importantly, pulling the ball down and running for a first down or touchdown). * The Steelers head to Buffalo at 7-3. Like a year ago, the schedule is there friend. Hopefully, this time around we're not forced to endure a give-game losing streak. So far so good on that front. |

Unknown from Miquel Vacas mine
Posted by Ron Layton
Unknown from Miquel Vacas mine April 25, 2012 09:28PM |
Registered: 6 years ago Posts: 102 |
First, I do not have the capability of taking good pictures with my microscope. I was trimming a specimen of libethenite from the Miguel Vacas mine in Portugal. I noticed some hairlike crystals in a pocket with psedomalachite balls and some kind of iron oxide under the scope. The color of the acicular crystals is the same green as the libethenite. Some of the crystals are bent and would seem flexible to a degree. They remind me of acicular olivenite but they are the wrong color. AT most, the bundles of crystals are 1mm long. Any help?

For those of you who carry cocked and locked, how many use a thumb break strap? It would seem to me that it isn't really necessary other than for retention, but have heard opinions that it is the only 'safe' way to carry C&L.
Sorry if this topic has been brought up before. The only thing I could find similar wasn't really specific to carrying C&L.

@ LT View,I too am in Oz, and I too am driven crazy by the current "analyst" talk on resources. You've pretty much said what I would, and probably a bit more eloquently at that. The only other point I would add, as resources, especially metals, become more expensive, their use in output is reduced, and recycling goes up. I've lived in China for 3 years in the last decade and just left 6 months ago, and I can tell you, there is still plenty of room for greater efficiencies in that economy, so even if rapid growth there continues, resources are going to grow less quickly in the future. I realize I'm not talking about a "collapse" in resource prices here anymore, but it will be a very real collapse in expectations, and I think it will be very hard on the share market here in Australia, and the loss of money will be very real.
Sir,If you ask kids down the street today what they think about it,they'll say: "As long as China, India and the like go wild, crazy,you know, the price of commodities should too."I guess it's a collective view not only among those cocky kids, but by the great at Merrill Lynch. But why wouldn't the onefrom the firm you cited in the story try to get something off his chest? The way his teammate did, saying blatantly: "...it would take a recession in emerging markets to drive commodity prices substantially lower (Buttonwood, May 17th).""Take a recession." That's an expression even the cocky kids want to shy away from, the way our idols, Bush and Bernanke, did, eschewing the R word.A recession in, say, China may not be imminent (though some ofyour correspondents in China might already notice some cracks). But a Chinese recession can wreak havoc on the West. Not least on the U.S., which, at this moment, has been hugely propped up by exports to emerging economies.It's a huge conundrum. The eternal dream: a plunge in commodity prices; but with an inconvenient truth: a plunge in exports. Would a (good) plunge in raw-materials prices help offset a (bad) plunge in external demand, for the sake of the U.S. economy?Surely, things will be cheaper. Still would $60-a-barrel oil--but with, say, unsold Caterpillar trucks--make your life any better? Some may enjoy their "new" lives, but many others might suffer.Hope that by the time China's economy nosedives, the U.S. will have, alas, decoupled from China. But America itself may have gone through a R world by then. Or, worse, could be right smack in the middle of one.
Everyone is primarily basing trend of commodity prices by theorizing about Chinese demand and supply.The predictive intuition may be right or wrong depending upon the correctness of one's theory of China.
I agree that in the absence of a good price setting mechanism, the oil can go up to the levels prescribed by a Goldman Sachs analyst. The later can predict the demand and supply by looking into his crystal ball. But it's all right, everyone speculates on prices - nobody has facts. Speculation is what makes prices volatile. Dickens would have written a new book called "Great Speculations" if he was alive. It's all about speculation mixed with a bit of expectation, who cares about fundamentals.Expectations sadly drive the commodity prices and they created the great stock bubble or housing bubble. While, everyone continues to ignore the fundamental rules of Economics... Price will go "up in the long run" is an absurd concept. In the long run, emerging markets will stop subsidizing, in the long run, Brazil will drill in the deep waters, in the long run, substitutes will be discovered. So, anyone that bets on oil 4 or 5 years from now will join those who relentlessly argued that house prices will never go down. The price of anything is what anyone is willing to pay for it...
Good to see that some people out there actually have a discerning view of commodities. Sitting here in Australia it's like being in a vacuum or reasoning, as every man and his dog is long commodities with obvious vested interests in talking up commodities and China's "burgeoning demand" (if I read that term one more time I might cry). When you read sell side analysis that declares "Valuation $30; Current Price $35; Target Price $40 - BUY" you know you are living in a world absent of fundamental reasoning.
Supply growth of base metals will outstrip demand growth. To me that is obvious. A supply response is coming and you can see it in emplyoment numbers, capex figures and other variables if you look closely (I am focusing here mainly on Austrlaian data, predominantly ou of WA). As is typical mining companies are investing in new mines on the back of strong prices whereas previously these projects were considered uneconomical. Herein they sew the seeds of their own destruction. Commodity prices must pull back if developed world demand slows (as Machiavelli has so astutely pointed out). China's economy IS still largely a manufacturing, export driven one. Again as Machiavellie points out it seems ridiculous to believe that China can grow and commodity prices remain high iof the developed world falters, as is currently looking like a reality.
We all know centrally planned economies for their inefficiencies. Why is China any different? I don't believe in its perpetual growth as much as I refuse to believe that their economic data is accurate. Inflation is likely higher and growth likely lower. In my mind it will unravel eventually, one way or another.
I agree with Machiavelli999 in respect to the fact that export manufacturing constitutes a good portion of China's gross domestic product, and most of the other emerging market economies. Focusing on China the effect of a prolonged slowdown in the U.S. on the export sector of China's economy in general is expected to be pronounced. With respect to this what really concerns me is the possible 'bubble' that the chinese government is creating with its oil price subsidy program that it has in place right now. Chinas CPI in the recent months of may and june have risen to 8.5% and 7.7% respectively and most of it is being contributed to higher food prices, with more rising pressure on the price of oil in the future, how long can the government keep their oil price subsidies intact without causing harm to the economy? When these subsidies are relaxed it may cause even more upward pressure on inflation causing a severe problem for china in the future. Just some food for thought.
Even in the next 4 to 5 years like Machiavelli999 states, Commodity prices are more likely to go bullish. Like BWGIA says, there will be a lag for recession for China or any other BRIC... but you'll still have to look in to a longer Term and find this BRICS will continue growing, each time with a smaller dependence of Developed countries. Brazil is already making an import substitution from US to it's neighbors and Russia is basically telling the West to suck it up after the Georgia affair. As a whole, Demand in Commodities is going up because of a higher demand in Developing countries, a demand didn't exist before… Obviously a Credit Crunch will hurt any of this countries, but not enough to make global Demand go backwards.
The world economy is undergoing a fundamental structural change due to the continuing growth of BRIC. All these that are happening today can be traced back to the fact that an equilibrium has been proken yet a new one is not yet established. Up to now there is no credible and convincing prediction on what the new equilibrium will look like, or, for perssimists, whether there will be a new equilibrium.
The march of price for raw materials is just a beginning. Fundamental change even in our most basic assumptions will follow. e.g. the conviction that globalization of production will continue ...
Bird73,Yes, obviously from a LONG term perspective commodity prices will inevitably go up, especially oil. As will everything else. But I am talking about the next 4-5 years.The supply is shrinking but in the next few years the demand will shrink even faster as the world economy grinds to a halt. Basic economic theory tells us that inflation happens when too much money is chasing too few goods. Well, that has been true in the past few years (both that there is too much money and that there are too few goods), but I predict that we will see less money out there chasing goods and the effect will be decidedly deflationary.
Machiavelli 999,
I think the answer is that over the last 200 years, the so called "West" had no competitors for the raw materials. Now they do. Saudi arabia is using much more of its own oil, Brazil is using large amounts of its soya and iron, China can't have enough coal...
The world is indeed changing. These fluctuations are the expressions of large relative changes occurrying worldwide.
With regards to oil, China is actually a very large oil producer, at 3,8 million barrels a day. But its reserves are just 16 bln barrels, enough to sustain its production for 11 years only (!). We all know that way before their rate of production will start to fall agressively. By 2015 they will have almost exhausted their reserves and will have to find at least 3 million barrels a day more of supply overseas. The real oil squeeze will be around that year, I guess. This is just the beginning...
I think the commodity market is in a peculiar mode - peculiar because it is something we never witnessed before; you can understand manipulation but its the degree and concomitant ramifications which is amazing.
The market seems to be in marginal demand pricing mode for a long time - like on the edge of the seat watching a thriller movie; The traditional demand-supply or the inventory tracking models do not seem to adequately explain or address the market movement or the price trends. You can see these two being used in almost all the research reports to explain (but still fail) commodity prices.
None of the commodity markets also were so tight and in such mode for long to our collective knowledge and no one could foresee it - because of one more variable (uncertain,real or hypothetical) being introduced into the equation - the remaining life of the commodity. We do not have any tool to analyse this variable. Intuitively though, this would also influence the consumer behaviour, right?
What would you do (in terms of buying and pricing) if you know that sugar you consume daily is going to be exhausted tomorrow? next week? next year?
If you are addicted to it (infrastructure in place and no immediate credible replacement for it), you will pay any price for it and keep paying until you find credible alternative at another higher affordable price.
I think the market is moving in this direction - raising the prices to make other sources available - bn bbls of oil and tcf's of gas in form of deepwater and unconventional resources (shales, tight gas plays etc). Its just that the prices have to rise enough to encourage production from these high cost resources to achieve self sufficiency.
In conclusion - the oil market and price run is something akin to the "run on the bank" that we can relate to - its just the opposite. Some one has raised the spectre of 'oil is exhausted, no more oil' (similar to 'bank has no cash') and everyone is rushing to buy it like there is no tomorrow (again similar to 'take your money out or the central bank will freeze the accounts'). What do you do if you know the bank is fundamentally good? You buy the bank or in this case 'sell the stock' (at high prices and invest in other options - alternate energy or buy at lower levels, if it drops). Best is to invest in energy efficiency and developing alternate energy forms irrespective of the initial cost; technology development and eventual costs will make them viable and credible secure energy forms.
We are entering a world of Super Abundance in energy and materials. Example: the recent breakthrough in water hydrolysis by Nocera which uses off the shelf cobalt compounds instead of costly platinum.
Consequently, what you have are Last Biters. These people know what's coming, but they also know a lot of people are living in fear...thanks to schlockmeisters like Al Gore, who have scared everyone into cowering for the next shortage, lightening storm or partly cloudy day as a sign of the Apolcolypse.
Consequently, there have been a series of run ups and the herd has followed up until the last Greater Sucker decided enough was enough and started to sell.
Right on Machiavelli999! I can't believe that people can say in one breath "the whole world is heading into a downturn" and then in the next say "but China will still grow at %10 " it is still very much export driven, as you say. The fact is that Chinese domestic per capita income is still pretty low, and therefore not really able to support the heady growth figures that people are used to. My prediction is that for the Chinese (and the others in BRIC) the reduction in growth will lag the major economies by 12-18 months, and not be as severe, but at least for China, when growth slows to ~5% and everybody notices it's a communist dictatorship with />20% of the population over age 60, and everybody working in grey factories snapping ipods together, there are going to be headlines about the "collapse" of China.Then I'll be complaining about how over-hyped THAT world view is. China is having to deal with the problems of hyper inflated expatiations, it will be neither the worlds savior nor its doom, but in the end just a place where a fair wack of people live.In the meantime, I'm not going to be putting my money into commodities futures or resource company stocks.
The drastically rising prices of oil and other raw-materials are abviously due to excessive and venomous specultations and market manipulations,which have been committed by Goldman Sachs alike and some big western mineral companies (Rio Tinto?). Apparently and unfortunately, the vicious so-called free-market behaviors are new form of (economic) colonialism, plaudering the hard-earned profits of developing countries, hence directly greatly hampering the progress of developing and poor countries. These baleful market monopoly and manipulations are also not in the interests of, at least mass population of USA, UK and other rich countries. Therefore, the whole world, especially developing countries, should be determined to fight and counterattack the new colonialists. The Goldman(s) and Rio Tinto(s)have to be charged with anti-trust law and broken into pieces.
I honestly don't get the investing thesis which is bearish on the developed economies but still bullish on the commodity market. I would just like someone to explain to me the thinking behind this. The Chinese economy is still very much export driven. And those exports pre-dominantly go to the developed world. If the developed economies fall off the map because of the credit crunch, so will China's.So, I would really like someone to explain to me how you can believe in both the credit crunch and that the commodity market's fundamentals are strong.

We caught up with Corvette Product Marketing Manager Harlan Charles at the 2011 12 Hours of Sebring and he graciously gave us a few minutes to talk about a variety of subjects relating to Corvettes. Some of the topics we discussed include the latest changes for the current 2011 model year, the new Corvette Z06X track concept car and the progress of the C7 Corvette.
Videos & Pictures
Nissan's GT-R made a run in 2009 against the ZR1 on the world famous Nordschleife and they came within .3 of a second of the Corvette's 7:26.4 lap. Two years later, the newly upgraded 2012 GT-R goes at it again, this time besting the Corvette by two seconds with a 7:24.22 lap. Check out the laps after the jump.
Definitely the most talked about story this week is the huge crash of the 230 mph Corvette Z06 at the Texas Mile. Hinson Motorsports was running the 1400 hp twin-turbo Corvette when it crashed spectacularly off the runway. Posting on Facebook yesterday, Hinson Motorsports promised to release their own footage and they did so today.
The seats in your classic Corvette are one of the areas that tend to get worn down over the years. Worn seats not only affect the look of your Corvette, but a sagging seat with no support can also affect your driving experience. If you're planning on restoring your seats, check out this great new 4-part video series from Corvette America on how to restore and recover seats for 1970-75 Corvettes.
In the third episode of Corvette Racing's Track to Street series, we go behind the scenes as the team kicks off the first race in 2011 at the 12 Hours of Sebring.
When you see the enormity of this crash on video, its amazing that the driver not only lived, but walked away. With 1,400 awe-inspiring horsepower on tap, the Hinson Motorsports twin turbo Corvette Z06 was on its way to breaking speed records at the Texas Mile this weekend when the car left the runway at 230 mph, flipping once and coming to rest on its wheels in the grass.
It's not often that I'll talk up a car that's not a Corvette, but after watching Cadillac's return to the SCCA World Challenge with their CTS-V Coupe Racers with Corvette Racing alumni Andy Pilgrim and Johnny O'Connell behind the wheel, I became a fan real fast. After Round 1′s race on Saturday which resulted in a 4th place finish for O'Connell, we sat down with the former C6.R driver to discuss his leaving Corvette Racing for Cadillac, the Cadillac CTS-V racer and his future racing plans.
Autoedit's Jason Lewis profiles a 1965 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe that has nearly 500,000 miles on the odometer. The silver Corvette has served as the daily driver for the owner of the car for the last 46 years. Although it has been maintained and freshened up over the years, the Sting Ray still sports its original 327 Cubic Inch V8. The 300 horse car is mated to a 4-speed, but other than that, there are very little other options – no power brakes, steering or air conditioning.
Corvette Racing kicked off the 2011 American Le Mans Series with two new cars and two new drivers at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. After 12 hours of going pedal to the metal, the twin C6.Rs finished third and fourth in GT. The No 03 Corvette C6.R with Olivier Beretta, Tommy Milner and Antonio Garcia earned the podium and was the only non-BMW to finish on the lead lap. The No 4 Corvette C6.R with Oliver Gavin, Jan Magnussen and Richard Westbrook fought off several potential setbacks and spent much of the race climbing out of a three-lap deficit to end in fourth place.
Becoming an annual tradition, Corvette Product Marketing Manager Harlan Charles and Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter made the trip down to Sebring Florida last weekend to show off some cool Corvette concepts and several 2011 regular production cars as well as give a couple seminars with Corvette owners. The first seminar was held Friday afternoon and the topics were the latest updates on the 2011 Corvette as well as some non-specific C7 Corvette news.
