TPX Extended Mag Mod Instructions
The instructions in this guide will show you how to make a single extended TPX magazine that holds 10 balls from two stock 7 ball mags.
- 2 7-ball TPX magazines
- Phillips head screwdriver
- hack saw or jig saw
- wire coat hanger or other source of 5/64" wire
- hot glue gun
- scotch tape
- drill and 5/64" bit
- utility knife
Step 1.
Disassemble both magazines and sort the components
Step 2.
Select one of the Right half clamshells to use as the right upper section
A. Cut the bottom lip off, keeping your saw as flush as possible
B. using a utility knife, cut off the follower locking spring post, you will also need to shave some of the back wall behind the post to allow the lock release arm to travel freely.
it should end up looking like this:
Step 3.
Choose a left side clamshell to become the left upper section. cut from the bottom of the fifth tab slot down and cut on the same angle as the bottom lip
it will end up looking like this:
Step 4.
Take the remaining right clamshell and cut from the bottom of the fifth tab from the bottom, again maintaining the angle of the bottom lip. discard the upper portion.
Step 5.
Cut the remain left clamshell from the bottom of the first tab slot down.
* you will likely need to shave or file the cut edges to make them fit together
Step 6.
Take one follower release arm and cut off the lower flap.
Take the other arm and cut through the middle of the 6th gap from the bottom flap. Discard the upper half.
Using your 5/64" drill bit, drill a hole through 4 of the walls separating each gap in both arm halves.
Step 7.
Cut a straight 3" piece of coat hanger wire and run it through the holes you just drilled in the follower release arm halves. line up the halves then fill each gap containing wire with hot glue.
allow the glue to dry and then cut away the excess glue
Step 7.
Take one of the follower springs, hold each end firmly and stretch slowly until it measures roughly 9" without tension.
You should know be ready to assemble your extended mag.
Step 8.
Take your upper and lower right shells and line them up. Place the Follower lock, follower lock spring, finished follower release arm, follower release arm spring, and ball latch in their normal spots.
carefully place the upper and lower left shells and replace all screws. Feed the
follower spring in, slot the follower into place, and secure the top latch.
carefully line up the loose sections of the front of the magazine and secure them with a strip of scotch tape, then cut out a hole for the magazine release catch.
alternatively you could super glue the section together, but I prefer the tape so i can still take it apart to clean and re stretch the spring if necessary.
Your Extended TPX magazine is now ready to rock. Besides the practical advantage of more rounds per mag, the extended magazine just makes your TPX look that much more awesome.
Re: TPX Extended Mag Mod Instructions
Nice job!
How does it work though? The 7 round mags were a bit hard on the paint. I'm wondering if the spring has enough tension to get all the balls into the chamber as well.
Re: TPX Extended Mag Mod Instructions
I haven't had a chance to test fire it yet but i have tested its feed strength. With the spring stretched properly it maintains sufficient tension all the way to the top.
I'm probably going out this Thursday so I'll report on the performance then.
Re: TPX Extended Mag Mod Instructions
Nice, was wondering when someone was gonna do one. Now do a beta mag for it mmwwwahahahahah.
those are straight mags and not the stagard ones though right?
Re: TPX Extended Mag Mod Instructions
@ Logan04
Yes they are the straight 7-ball mags, though an extended 8-ball mag shouldn't be too much more difficult using a similar process. I might try it in a while when i have some spare cash to blow on mags I might ruin.
Re: TPX Extended Mag Mod Instructions
Pretty cool! It almost reminds me of a TMP.
Re: TPX Extended Mag Mod Instructions
So i test fired the extended mag this Thursday. The spring tension does seem to be a bit of an issue.
I need to find a source of longer springs, i'll probably try borrowing my friends first strike spring.
I'll update once I've got a solution.
Re: TPX Extended Mag Mod Instructions
Great job! ! !
Good luck with finding a spring... I need one for my Tpx as well. I have been working on a FS conversion for the TPX and got stuck on the spring as well. I need a little more tension on a regular 7 round to push the FS rounds into place too. Let me know if you find it.

2013 Team Outlook: Houston Texans
PK Randy Bullock, HOU - Sleeper (undervalued)
At this time, Bullock is the only kicker on the Texans roster. This doesn't mean he'll be their starting kicker, it just means there's nobody else competing for the position at this time. The Texans used a 5th round pick on Bullock last season and through 3 pre-season games he looked like he would be the team's starting kicker. That was until he suffered a season ending groin injury in Houston's third pre-season game. If healthy, Bullock should win the job this season; playing on a team with a high powered offense should mean plenty of fantasy points for owners.
Houston - Solid/Safe Pick
The Texans' defense should be one of the league's top 5 defenses this season. This is if everyone can stay healthy. Defensive end JJ Watt is a nightmare for opposing offenses to defend against. Couple this with a high scoring offense and this defense is prime for sacks and turn over's O'plenty.

This is a beautiful shade and I first tried it years ago, and it was at least at that time an excellent superior quality eye shadow. That being said the color on me just wasn't the fuschia/magenta kick I was looking for. It has a ballet pink finish that muted the effect too much for me. Now from what I'm seeing on here the make up for ever Orchid looks to be the same as my beloved UD fishnet but without the chrome. I can't wait to try that!

By Linda firstname.lastname@example.com Clayton County Police are now attributing a series of sexual assaults, that have occurred since December, to one suspect, who is still at-large. Seven sexual assaults have been reported at apartment complexes in Morrow, Jonesboro, Stockbridge and College Park over the past several months, according to Clayton County Police Detective James Eskew, the lead investigator in the case. In two of the cases, the victims said they were raped, Eskew said. In the most recent case, a woman reported being raped, Saturday, at The Woods Apartments in College Park. "We have reviewed the specific incidents, and many strong similarities occurred in each of the cases," Eskew said. "I'm not going to call it a serial rapist," he said. "I will call him a serial burglar that commits sexual assault, and a serial sexual assaulter. "This individual has been described as five-six, to five-nine [in height], a black male, with dark complexion, and one individual said he had very, very short hair," Eskew said. The detective said he could not speculate on the suspect's weight. The man, he said, always concealed his face in some way, either with a ski mask, or a T-shirt pulled over his nose, and also wore gloves. "This individual is a burglar, who enters apartment complexes on a ground floor apartment," Eskew said. "In some of these cases, he has found an unlocked door and taken advantage of that. He seems to be very confident in entering your residence without you knowing it." Eskew said each of the victims has been female. "He wakes them. In some cases, the victim was totally alone, and in some cases, other persons were present in the home, including adult males," he said. "Some of the victims have had children in the home." The attacker was carrying a handgun in some of the assaults, according to Officer Kevin Hughes, a Clayton County Police Department spokesman. "He is an armed individual," Eskew said. In at least one of the assaults, according to the detective, "He made threats that he would kill everybody, if anybody woke up." "He escorts you from your bedroom and leads you to the bathroom," Eskew said. "Most of the time, he makes them disrobe, and he stands behind them. Many times, the victims have been ordered to place their hands on the wall." Eskew said the attacker would then either fondle, or rape the victims. In more than one of the attacks, the suspect committed a lewd act, then made the victims "clean themselves up," according to Hughes. "He orders his victims to the shower, and stands present to make sure they're showering," Eskew said. He said the man presumably insists that the victim take a shower to avoid leaving any evidence, such as DNA, behind. "He's very evidence-conscious," Eskew said. He said the suspect has also stolen from the victims, taking money or credit cards. "Right now, he's an individual that's top priority with us," Eskew said. Hughes said officers are increasing patrols at apartment complexes around the county. He said residents are urged to always lock their windows and doors, be aware of their surroundings, and report any suspicious activity to police. Anyone with information in the case is asked to contact Detective James Eskew at (770) 477-3786.

The winter woods are in their dormant phase and you see and hear a different landscape here.
Most trees are void of leaves except for the green of evergreens and tan of beech. The song of the songbirds is minimal, except for crows, blue jays or nuthatch.
It's a colder, quieter, gray-brown world out here now. Even laurel or rhododendron have a different look. They're a pretty good thermometer.
At 60 degrees Fahrenheit, they are a normal flat leaf; at 40 degrees, the leaves droop; at 30 degrees, the leaves curl; and at 20 degrees, the leaves curl tight and darken. Early settlers called these plants the forest thermometers and had this saying:
"When the azaleas close their doors, winter roars."
They called them all azaleas.
Have you ever heard the old saying, "News and weather – they travel together"? Some would credit this to journalism or media, but it dates back to the weather vanes of the 1600s and 1700s.
They also said, "News is in the wind." The old weather vanes might have had an arrow and a rooster, fish, horse, etc. on it, depending on the location or what the farmer raised, but most had the 4 letters (N,E,W, and S) on them. This denoted wind direction, and therefore, wind, weather and news are all factors.
Mark Twain is often credited with saying, "Everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it."
He actually quoted C. D. Warner, in a speech, when he made that statement.
Ben Franklin did say, "Some are weather-wise, and some are otherwise."
The fact is that most Americans will, instead of just saying "Hello," get into a conversation by referring to the weather. It might be, "Nice day today," or "How's the weather out there?" and conclude with, "Have a nice day."
I spoke in a hunting article about several old tobacco barns I admired. They had the mortise and tenon construction with wooden pins. These structures were not only built to last, but also to be barometers.
As the atmosphere changed barometric pressure, the wood pins (trunnels) would shrink or expend. The creaking and groaning of the timbers on a stormy night didn't worry the inhabitant, but it did become the weather report on the 11:00 news.
In those days, they made their own furniture too and they used a variety of wood types for various reasons. Some woods would not splinter and finished smooth.
Some woods took stain or steam well for bending. Some chairs might have as many as eight woods in them. This was for the fore-mentioned reasons and some woods react with other woods in barometric change by shrink and swelling proportionately to keep joints tight.
As Ben said, "Some people are weather-wise."
When the Indians suspected rain tomorrow, they would check "the scalp house." Human hair gets limp prior to rain. The Indians and Pioneers also knew that "when smoke descends, good weather ends." Air pressure and instability preceding a storm will keep the smoke down and not let it rise in its normal way.
Let's get back to the woods, out here. When I spoke of insects in winter, in "Bugs-b-gone," I mentioned migration in some and diapause, which is a form of hibernation in most species. We didn't say how the insect can accomplish this winter slow down.
It is believed, in the scientific world, that there are about a quintillion insects on earth (1 followed by 18 zeros). They also would have us believe that winged insects were flying around the giant horsetail forests of earth 315 million years ago, which is 90 million years prior to dinosaurs.
There are said to be 1.2 million species of animals today on earth. Nine hundred thousand species, or 75 percent, are insects.
There are 250,000 species of beetles. It's no wonder we can't keep them straight and it's no wonder they vary in so many ways.
In winter, insects have evolved into super-cooled creatures with body temperatures well below freezing. They do this chemically, by producing an anti-freeze called glycerol, sorbitol or mannitol.
This, along with a very reduced rate of metabolism during diapause, allows them to just go dormant and not freeze, and then show up at your picnic again next year. Not too dumb for a bug-brain that would fit on the sharp end of a needle.

Court of Appeals rules against McAdoo
The North Carolina Court of Appeals has affirmed a decision by a lower court that dismissed a lawsuit brought by former UNC football player Michael McAdoo.
McAdoo had sued the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chancellor Holden Thorp and the NCAA claiming UNC did not follow its own procedures before reporting him to the NCAA, which eventually ruled McAdoo permanently ineligible to play football.
McAdoo claimed that if he had been able to play football at UNC during his senior year, he would have been in a better position to be drafted by the NFL and receive a more lucrative contract.
When the case was heard in Durham County Superior Court, Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson dismissed the case in November 2011, and McAdoo then appealed that decision.
The Court of Appeals released its decision Tuesday morning, saying that McAdoo had not sustained any injury because his scholarship was never terminated and that his case was moot because he accomplished the goal he sought to achieve – playing in the NFL.
The court also ruled that the remedies that McAdoo sought were hypothetical because there was no proof of his claim that if he had been allowed to play football his senior year at UNC, he would been drafted and signed a better contract with an NFL team.
McAdoo's attorney, Noah Huffstetler, argued in front of the three-judge panel on Sept. 13, 2012, that UNC had a contractual agreement with students that if they are alleged to have violated the student honor code, the student Honor Court is the body that investigates, holds hearings and determines if students are guilty or not guilty and then issues punishments if found guilty.
Huffstetler argued it was not the university's or the NCAA's right to determine whether McAdoo had violated the honor code when his former tutor, Jennifer Wiley, wrote the footnote citations for a paper he wrote.
In the Court of Appeals ruling, which includes a summary of the events that led up to the academic as well as NCAA violations, it stated that McAdoo wrote the paper, then emailed Wiley a list of the websites and books he used as sources for the paper and asked her help in writing the citations.
She wrote the citations and sent them back in an email, saying she thought she had done them correctly.
The revelations about academic fraud came to light while the university was investigating whether football players had accepted improper benefits from sports agents.
McAdoo was found to have received improper benefits of $99 when he allowed a teammate to pay for his hotel room in Washington, D.C., and got into a club for free that had a $10 cover charge. The hotel room, however, was actually paid for by a prospective sports agent.
As part of that investigation, UNC began reading McAdoo's emails.
"This investigation went in an unexpected direction when UNC began to inspect the players' email communication for evidence of improper sports agent contacts," according to the factual background of the case included in the ruling.
"When UNC examined McAdoo's emails, it found reason to believe Wiley's assistance to McAdoo may have violated the school's academic honesty standards." UNC officials interviewed McAdoo in August 2010, and he said the level of help Wiley had provided on his paper was typical of the type of help she provided him while she was his tutor, the ruling stated.
As a member of the NCAA, UNC had to comply with NCAA regulations, and so in September 2010, UNC declared McAdoo ineligible to play intercollegiate athletics and withheld him from the first three games of the season, the ruling stated.
UNC attempted to have McAdoo's eligibility restored by arguing that McAdoo didn't know he was violating the academic rules when he accepted Wiley's help in writing the footnotes, the ruling stated.
UNC contended that it was reasonable for McAdoo to assume the assistance Wiley gave him was proper since she had been assigned to be his tutor by the university's Academic Support Program.
Meanwhile, UNC's Honor Court found McAdoo guilty of one violation regarding one paper, gave him an "F" on the paper and placed McAdoo on academic probation, which meant McAdoo wasn't eligible to play football for the rest of the fall semester in 2010.
UNC attempted to have McAdoo reinstated but the NCAA announced in November 2010 that he was permanently ineligible to play.
If the NCAA hadn't rule him permanently ineligible, McAdoo would have been eligible under UNC's eligibility requirements to play football during the 2011 fall season, which was his senior year, the ruling stated.
UNC appealed to the NCAA and during a hearing, UNC officials "vigorously argued Plaintiff did not 'knowingly' violate the NCAA bylaws," the ruling stated. The ruling quoted from the transcript of the hearing.
"This is not a case, we don't believe, in which Michael actively sought out impermissible help. He was a freshman. He had no reason to think that Jennifer [Wiley] would do something different than what was appropriate. He was essentially accepting the help Jennifer [Wiley] was offering," an unidentified UNC official said during the hearing.
The ruling also quoted what McAdoo said during the hearing.
"I never thought for a second that we were ever breaking any rules. I was working hard and she was there to make sure I was on the right track," McAdoo said. "My biggest concern was trying to make sure I would not plagiarize so that's why I wanted her to check all of the citations."
NCAA didn't buy that argument, saying, "Mr. McAdoo did take deliberate action and he knew what he was doing."
McAdoo should have known Wiley was giving him improper assistance beyond what other tutors were providing since he asked for her help after he had already been assigned another tutor, the NCAA responded.
In August 2011, before the start of his senior year, McAdoo signed a contract with the Baltimore Ravens as a free agent and received the NFL minimum yearly salary of $270,000, according to the ruling.
"By signing a professional contract, McAdoo was no longer eligible to play college football," the ruling stated.
Court of Appeals Judge Robert N. Hunter Jr., wrote the ruling and Judges Sam Ervin IV and J. Douglas McCullough concurred.
When McAdoo filed the lawsuit, he included the paper he wrote as evidence. N.C. State fans ran the paper through a program and discovered instances of plagiarism, which then opened the door to criticism of UNC's Honor Court and an investigation of the African-American studies program at UNC, neither of which discovered the plagiarism.

Investigator Gerry Nelson said Milton 'Dobbin' Evans, 62, and Timothy Corbin Bartlett, 33, both of Macon, were arrested March 5 and charged with possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute.
Drugs were found in the suspects' possession in the amount of 3-1/2 to 4 grams, and $1,400 in cash was also seized.
Nelson said the tip indicated the men would be in the area of Lo Bucks convenience store on Shurling Drive and they were observed in the area at approximately 6:20 p.m.
When the men pulled in the parking lot, they were identified by the officers and arrested following the location of the drugs. Nelson said he is in the process of obtaining warrants, and they will have to go in front of a Superior Court judge for bond.

Cold War Thinking
To the Editor:
I hope that David T. Bazelon's perceptive review of Fred J. Cook's The Warfare State [January, 1963] gets a wider reading than the book he so rightly calls a "silly black-and-white history of the cold war." Mr. Cook's opus ought to be recognized by thoughtful liberals and conservatives alike for what it is, an incredibly cynical distortion of past, present, and future, and a disservice to citizens in and out of uniform who are seriously trying to understand. . . .
Mr. Cook, who is described in book club promotions as a "prizewinning" author, is a hit-and-run journalist who doesn't mind in the least smearing the many Americans in uniform who daily risk their lives to keep the cold war cold.
There is plenty of material, as Mr. Bazelon suggests in his review, for scholarly analysis that would lead to public understanding of the military impact on our society, but Fred J. Cook's hysterical pen is scarcely the instrument for such efforts.
William Leavitt
Air Force Space Digest
Washington, D.C.
To the Editor:
Considering the overwhelming importance of books such as Fred Cook's The Warfare State, I believe that Mr. Bazelon's review of it must rank as one of the stupidest and most vicious things of its kind to appear recently. Shrill, hysterical reviewers usually in a short space manage to commit and compound all the mistakes they attribute to the authors they are attacking. Bazelon's review is an excellent example of this often seen phenomenon.
John Womack
Austin, Texas
To the Editor:
In his review. . . David T. Bazelon writes: ". . . The old Stalinist middle-brow style of thought has survived the whole postwar period unregenerate, and we are back again with that puerile hunger for fairy tales. And one recalls, then, the reports of old-style Stalinist influence in the peace movement. Worst of all: the Stalinoid mentality seems to have learned nothing from the McCarthy period. . . ."
I am amazed to find statements of this character published in COMMENTARY. They remind me of the models of degenerate English which George Orwell used as exhibits in his "Politics and the English Language." Is Mr. Cook being accused of being a Communist or merely of having a "Stalinoid mentality"? And what does the latter mean, if not the former? As for that little nudge in the ribs about the peace movement—what is the source of those dark reports that "one so impersonally 'recalls'"? The House Un-American Activities Committee? How depressingly familiar these techniques of vilification are! Apparently the Stalinists are not alone in having learned nothing from the McCarthy period.
Morton D. Paley
New York City
Mr. Bazelon writes:
"Stalinoid mentality" refers not to a Communist party member but to the mind of the kind of liberal who, out of an ungoverned disappointment with American life, was willing to believe most or at least too much of what the members told them. They believed, for instance, what the Soviet apologists told them about the Moscow trials, about the Soviet-Nazi Pact, and even about the takeover in Eastern Europe. The source of my statement about the peace movement was Robert Pickus of Turn Toward Peace, and has been confirmed by several other friends not associated with the HUAC. Moreover, not everyone who has attacked the Stalinists and the Stalinoid mentality was a supporter of McCarthy, or needed to learn anything about these subjects from the phenomenon he represented. (Some of them, including George Orwell, even write rather well.)

Gophers Outlast Illinois, 66-61
Feb. 9, 2014
The University of Minnesota (15-9, 4-6) women's basketball team got 47 combined points from Rachel Banham and Amanda Zahui B. as it picked up a hard-fought 66-61 victory against Illinois (9-15, 2-9) Sunday afternoon at Williams Arena in front of a crowd of 4,306 fans for its breast cancer awareness game.
Banham posted a game-high 24 points and had five assists to lead the Golden Gophers, and connected on four of her five three-point field goals in the second half.
Zahui tallied her 11th double-double of the year with 23 points and 12 rebounds, while adding three blocks to break Minnesota's single-season blocks record with 68 on the year, with the record-breaking block coming with 4:09 to play in the first half. Former Gopher great Janel McCarville held the previous record of 65 blocks, which was established during the 2003-04 season.
It was Zahui who was clutch for Minnesota in the final minutes of the contest, as she scored eight points, had three defensive rebounds and one steal in the last 2:32 of the game to lead a 17-5 run for the Gophers after trailing by seven points.
Sari Noga dished out a career-high seven assists, and added five points and four rebounds, while Jackie Johnson totaled eight points, two rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes for Minnesota.
Minnesota shot .480 from the floor overall in the game, which included a .619 mark in the second half, and out-rebounded the Fighting Illini, 38-27. The Gophers posted 34 points in the paint, compared to just 12 for Illinois, and scored 15 points off of 14 visitor turnovers.
The Gophers jumped on top of the Illini early in the contest, taking an 11-2 advantage thanks to eight points from Zahui, and would go on to lead by as many as 10 points, 22-12, with 7:14 to play in the half. But, Illinois slowly closed the gap to three points, 22-19, at the 4:02 mark and would eventually take a one-point lead, 28-27, on a pair of free throws by Ivory Crawford that capped off a 16-5 run by the Illini at halftime.
Zahui would conclude the half with a game-high 13 points and added five rebounds, while finishing the stanza with a .667 shooting percentage after opening the game 5-for-5 from the floor. Banham added nine first-half points and Noga added three points.
Minnesota shot .379 through the first 20 minutes of play and outscored Illinois, 16-4, in the paint. The Gophers also held a 19-17 advantage on the glass.
Banham opened the second half with a three-pointer to put the Gophers back in the lead, 30-28, and they would go ahead by five points, 35-30, before the visiting Illini would once again make a comeback.
Illinois took its largest lead of the game, 46-39, at 9:50 following a 16-4 run, but Minnesota would close the gap to two points, 46-44, following a three-pointer from Banham. The Illini extended its advantage back to seven points, 56-49, with just over four minutes to play, before the Gophers put together a 13-2 run to go ahead, 62-58, with 54 seconds remaining in the game. Johnson would drain a pair of free throws with four seconds on the clock to put Minnesota on top, 66-61, and give the home team its second-straight victory.
Minnesota hits the road for two-consecutive road games this week, traveling first to Wisconsin Wednesday at 7:00 p.m., before heading to Northwestern Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. on BTN.

Treaty of Lambeth
The Treaty of Lambeth may refer to either of two agreements signed following conflict with King John and Philip Augustus of France which broke out in 1202.
Treaty of Lambeth (1212) [edit]
By 1212 John had lost his Angevin possessions. He made an agreement with Renaud of Dammartin, count of Bologne whose lands had also been seized by Philip II. Renaud brought other continental nobles, including Ferdinand, Count of Flanders, into a coalition against Philip. In return he was given several fiefs in England and an annuity. The treaty agreed on 4 May 1212 whereby each promised not to make a separate peace with France.[1]
Treaty of Lambeth (1217) [edit]
The second Treaty of Lambeth also known as the Treaty of Kingston, describes the peace treaty signed by Prince Louis of France in September 1217 ending the campaign known as the First Barons' War to uphold the claim by Louis to the throne of England. When the campaign had begun, baronial enemies of the unpopular John, King of England had flocked to the French banner, but after John's death in 1216, and his replacement by a regent, William Marshall, on behalf of the boy king Henry III, many had moved to the English side. Subsequent defeats at Lincoln in May 1217, at Dover and Sandwich in August 1217 forced Louis to negotiate.[2]
Information on the treaties is based on three early documents but none of these is known to have been based on an original manuscript.[3] It is known that negotiations were spread over several locations, opening on 6 September 1217 at Staines, because the royal court was nearby at Chertsey or possibly on 5 September on an island of the Thames near Kingston.[4][5] Various dates for treaties are given by the sources including:
- a treaty signed by Louis and Henry's regents on 11 September at the Archbishop of Canterbury's house at Lambeth,[6]
- a Treaty of Kingston on 12 September,[7]
- Papal ratification from the Papal legate, who was encamped near Kingston on the 13 September and who issued his terms on 22 September at Merton.
- a Treaty of Lambeth signed on 20 September ratifying the Kingston treaty.
Whatever documents were actually signed during September, Louis left England for the last time from Dover on 28 September. The principal provisions of the treaties were an amnesty for English rebels. It was also acknowledged that the French had failed to take possession of the entire Channel Islands and so possession of the individual islands was restored to the King of England.[8] Prince Louis undertook not to attack England again in exchange for 10,000 marks. Scottish troops under Alexander II also withdrew.
There is no known surviving copy of the treaties.[9]

The oxidizer and fuel components of propellant and explosive charges are bound within a polymer matrix to form a structurally sound composite shape of uniform consistency by comminuting and admixing the polymer and oxidizer and fuel components at cryogenic temperatures, compacting the mixture into a desired shape and warming the shaped compact to at least ambient temperatures. In one preferred embodiment, propellant charges for rockets and munitions and the like are fabricated by pressing or extruding a polymer-oxidizer-fuel mixture into selected shapes.
1. A method for fabricating a polymer bonded propellant or explosive composite comprising:
cryogenically comminuting an elastomeric polymer to obtain a relatively finely divided powder, said powder particles having reactive sites thereon;
mechanically working particles of an active agent comprising an oxidizing material or explosive compound by grinding or abrading said agent at cryogenic temperature with at least sufficient intensity to create fresh surfaces thereon;
maintaining both said polymer particles and other particles of said oxidizing or explosive compound at cryogenic temperatures and admixing said polymer particles and other particles while at cryogenic temperatures,
forming said admixed particles into a shape under pressure, and
allowing said formed shape to warm thereby causing reactions to occur among the components of the composite.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said elastomeric polymer is cross-linkable and wherein a cross-linking agent for said polymer is incorporated into the composite.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein said cross-linking agent is normally liquid and is contacted with said polymer before comminution in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 10% based on polymer weight.
4. The method of claim 2 wherein said cross-linking agent is normally solid.
5. The method of claim 2 wherein said composite is a propellant and wherein said active agent is an oxidizing material.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein said oxidizing material is selected from the group consisting of ammonium nitrate and ammonium perchlorate.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein said ammonium nitrate or ammonium perchlorate is ground in a mill in the presence of liquid nitrogen for a time sufficient to obtain a very finely divided powder.
8. The method of claim 5 wherein a finely divided metallic fuel is admixed with said polymer particles and other particles at cryogenic temperature.
9. The method of claim 8 wherein said metallic fuel comprises aluminum.
10. The method of claim 5 further including a finely divided burning rate catalyst added to said composite.
11. The method of claim 5 wherein said admixed particles are formed into a shape by placing the mixture into a mold and thereafter pressing.
12. The method of claim 5 wherein said admixed particles are formed into a shape by extrusion.
13. The method of claim 2 wherein said composite is an explosive charge and wherein said active agent is a high explosive.
14. The method of claim 2 wherein said polymer is selected from the group consisting of polybutadiene, isobutylene-stryene, butadiene-acrylonitrile, butadiene-styrene chloroprene, elastomeric polyurethanes, polysulfides, polybutylacrylamides and mixtures thereof.
15. The method of claim 14 wherein said polymer is polybutadiene.
16. A polymer bonded propellant or explosive composite produced by:
cryogenically comminuting an elastomeric polymer to obtain a relatively finely divided powder, said powder particles having reactive sites thereon;
mechanically working particles of an active agent comprising an oxdizing material or explosive compound by grinding or abraiding said agent at cryogenic temperatures with at least sufficient intensity to create fresh surfaces thereon;
mixing said polymer particles with said other particles of said oxidizing or explosive compound and maintaining all said particles at cryogenic temperatures during said mixing;
forming said admixed particles into a shape under pressure at cryogenic temperatures; and
allowing said formed shape to warm whereby there is produced a chemical bonding among and between said polymer particles and said other particles of said oxidizing or explosive compound.
17. The composite of claim 16 including a cross-linking agent and a metallic fuel.
This invention relates generally to the binding of finely divided particulate materials within a polymer matrix.
More specifically, this invention relates to a technique for achieving bonding between a polymer matrix and other particulate materials to form a structurally sound composite shape.
One preferred embodiment of this invention relates to the formation of propellant charges suitable for use in rocketry.
It is known in the art that the cryogenic grinding of polymeric materials creates free radicals on at least the surfaces of the resulting polymer particles. These free radicals are stable for extended periods of time if the polymer particles are maintained at cryogenic temperatures. Upon warming, the free radicals decay through reaction with any available active moiety.
There is disclosed in commonly owned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 117,235 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,340,076, a process for the rapid dissolution of polymeric materials in compatible liquids. The polymeric material is comminuted at cryogenic temperatures, as by hammer milling, and is thereafter mixed with liquid preferably while still at cryogenic temperature. Dissolution of the polymer particles in appropriate liquids is extremely rapid; many orders of magnitude greater than is possible using conventional techniques. It is postulated in that patent application that the phenomenally increased dissolution rate may be, at least in part, due to the presence of free radicals on and in the polymer particles created by the mechanical comminution. Dissolution activity of the polymer particles can be maintained for extended periods of time by storage at cryogenic temperatures, e.g., as a slurry in liquid nitrogen.
A second commonly owned patent application, Ser. No. 198,385 describes a process for solid state free radical reactions in which particles of two different, normally solid, materials are caused to react by generating free radicals on the surfaces of at least one of the solids by mechanical working, as by grinding, at cryogenic temperatures. At least one of the solid materials is a polymeric material while the other may be a second polymer, a catalyst, a lubricity enhancing material, a filler or a pigment.
The use of polymers as binders for solid particulate materials is well known in the fabrication of propellant charges for rocket motors, in the manufacturer of cap-sensitive explosive primers, and in a variety of other explosive devices. Typically, a solid explosive compound or a solid oxider such as ammonium perchlorate is blended with a rubbery polymer and with plasticizers, vulcanizing agent and the like. The blend is then formed into an evenly dispersed mixture by methods such as those used in compounding conventional rubber products. The resulting mixture is thereafter formed into desired shapes by casting, by extrusion or by pressing and is allowed to cure or vulcanize usually at moderately elevated temperatures. One exemplary patent is that to Bartley, et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,932,242 which is directed to propellant charges having a butyl rubber binder.
Oxidizing and explosive compounds are bound within a polymer matrix to form a shaped composite having significant physical strength. A polymer binder, preferably a thermoplastic elastomer, is cryogenically comminuted to obtain activated particles having free radicals thereon. The oxidizing or explosive compounds are chilled in a cryogenic refrigerant such as liquid nitrogen and while at that temperature are abraded or ground with sufficient intensity to develop fresh surfaces. Activated polymer particles are admixed with the other compounds making up the composite at cryogenic temperature and the admixture is formed into a shape by molding, extrusion or similar techniques. The formed shape is allowed to warm causing free radical induced reactions among polymer particles and between polymer particles and the other compounds forming the composite.
Hence, it is an object of this invention to provide new techniques for the polymer bonding of particulate solids.
It is a specific object of this invention to provide a method for the fabrication of explosive devices and propellant charges.
A specific object of this invention is to enhance the bonding between a polymer matrix and energetic compounds in the fabrication of propellant and explosive charges.
In its broadest form, the process of this invention comprises the binding of solid particulate materials within a polymeric matrix. A polymeric material, preferably a thermoplastic elastomer, is ground or comminuted at cryogenic temperatures to form a relatively finely divided powder. The powder particles display active sites as is evidenced by the presence of free radicals. Particulate materials to be incorporated within the matrix are subjected to mechanical working such as abrasion or grinding while at cryogenic temperatures to develop fresh surfaces. The polymer powder and other particulate materials are then admixed while still at cryogenic temperatures. The admixture is formed into a desired shape with the application of pressure as by molding, pressing or extrusion and allowed to warm causing free radical induced reactions between and among the components in the admixture.
The inventive process is particularly applicable to the fabrication of polymer bonded explosive or propellant charges. Examples of explosive charges to which this process is applicable include the fabrication of high explosive primer charges, bursting charges for artillery shells, conventional shaped charges for oil well perforation, armor penetration and the like, linear shaped charges, detonating cord and similar devices. Propellant charges include rocket propellants and bonded propellants for use in artillery shells, caseless ammunition and the like.
This invention contemplates the admixture of a polymer binder in a minor proportion with an oxidizer material or explosive compound in a major proportion. The polymer binder comprises generally an elastomeric thermoplastic and, in a preferred embodiment, comprises an elastomer capable of cross-linking. The polymer is cryogenically ground or comminuted to obtain as fine a powder as is practicable. Elastomeric polymers become brittle at cryogenic temperatures allowing for ready comminution using devices such as hammer mills and the like. The resulting powder is in a highly active state displaying a high concentration of free radicals and can be preserved in that active state by maintaining the powder at cryogenic temperatures.
An oxidizer material or explosive compound is chilled to cryogenic temperatures and is subjected to abrasion or grinding of at least sufficient intensity to develop fresh surfaces. Burning rate catalysts, cross-linking agents and other modifiers incorporated within the formulation may be treated in the same manner; either in admixture with the polymer or oxidizer material or separately. All of the components making up the formulation are than mixed in suitable proportion at cryogenic temperatures using any appropriate solid-solid mixing device. After uniform mixing is accomplished, the blend is formed into a desired shape under pressure as by pressing or extrusion and is allowed or caused to warm to at least about ambient temperature. During the warm up period, free radical-induced reactions occur between and among the components of the composite to form a coherent solid.
As has been set out previously, elastomeric polymers as a group are suitable as the matrix binder in this invention. Examples include the polyolefins including certain of the polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polybutenes and the like. Particularly preferred polymeric binders include those cross-linkable natural or synthetic rubbers or elastomers including, for example, polybutadiene, isobutylene-styrene, butadiene-acrylonitrile, butadiene-styrene, chloroprene, certain elastomeric polyurethanes, polysulfides, polybutylacrylamides, and other similar elastomers.
Cryogenic grinding or comminution is accomplished at very cold temperatures below about -78� C. which is the equilibrium temperature of a dry ice-acetone bath. Maintenance of cryogenic temperatures during polymer comminution is mandatory and critical in order to prevent immediate decay and/or migration of free radicals produced by the grinding. The obtaining and maintenance of cryogenic temperatures during and after grinding may be accomplished through use of a vaporizing cryogenic refrigerant. It is necessary that the refrigerant used must be both capable of achieving cryogenic temperatures and be essentially non-reactive toward the generated free radicals. A most preferred cryogenic refrigerant is liquid nitrogen which combines a boiling point of about -196� C., essential inertness toward free radicals, relative economy and ready availability.
Oxidizer materials suitable for propellant compositions fabricated through use of this invention include those conventional in the prior art such as ammonium nitrate, ammonium perchlorate alkali metal nitrates, energetic boron compounds and others of similar nature as well as mixtures of two or more such materials. Compounds suitable for use in explosive devices and charges include those materials conventionally considered to be high explosives including nitrated aromatic compounds such as TNT, pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), nitrated guanidines, lead axide and the like. Normally liquid explosive compounds, nitroclycerine for example, may be treated in this process in a fashion similar to that employed with normally solid explosives by dispersing the liquid explosive in a refrigerant to form frozen, solid granules or droplets. Thereafter, the solid granules or droplets are processed in the same fashion as are normally solid compounds.
Materials other than the polymer binder and oxidizer or explosive material may be incorporated into the composites of the invention. Propellant charges may advantageously include burning rate catalysts such as ferric oxide and others as is recognized in the art. Both propellant charges and explosive compositions may include antioxidants and plasticizers in amounts ranging up to about 10% or more based on polymer weight. In general, appropriate antioxidants include those commonly used in rubber formulations. Any suitable rubber plasticizer may be employed in association with the elastomeric binder. Those plasticizers which enhance low temperature properties of the binder are preferred.
It is frequently advantageous to include a metallic fuel or high energy additive to both propellant charges and explosive compositions. The metal preferably is in finely divided form and may be present in an amount ranging from about 2% to about 15% depending upon the oxygen balance of the composition. Aluminum is the preferred metallic fuel although other metals such as magnesium or copper may be substituted therefor as is recognized in the art.
A preferred embodiment of this invention includes a cross-linking agent as part of the composition. Suitable cross-linking agents include those such as sulfur commonly used in the vulcanization of rubber as well as magnesium oxide and the like which are particularly adapted for use with polymers such as chloroprene. These solid cross-linking agents are introduced into the composition by grinding them in a cryogenic state and mixing them with the other components of the composite material.
It is especially advantageous to use normally liquid cross-linking agents in one embodiment of this invention. A great number of such agents are known in the art and include for example the isocyanates such as dimethyl diisocyanate and isophorone diisocyanate, trimethylolpropane di- or tri-allylether, divinyl benezene and similar compounds. Liquid cross-linking agents may be incorporated with and relatively uniformly dispersed through the polymer used as a binder by exposing the polymer, before cryogenic comminution, to the cross-linking agent either in its liquid or vapor form. Sufficient contact time between the polymer and cross-linking agent is allowed for a substantially uniform dispersion of the agent through the polymer to occur. Thereafter the polymer, and the associated cross-linking agent, is subjected to cryogenic grinding in the manner previously described. Alternatively, liquid cross-linking agents can be dispersed in a cryogenic refrigerant and thereafter subjected to comminution as with normally liquid explosive compounds. Concentration of the cross-linking agent may range from about 0.1% to about 10% based upon polymer weight.
It has been set out previously that the oxidizer material or explosive compound is subjected to abrasion or grinding at cryogenic temperatures with sufficient intensity to develop fresh surfaces on the particles. These fresh surfaces are highly active and are believed to enter into some type of chemical bonding with the polymer matrix. In the case of ionic salt oxidizers, ammonium perchlorate or nitrate for example, it is believed that the fresh surfaces contain localized positive and negative charges through the breaking of ionic bonds. Such active surfaces function as polymerization initiators promoting and accelerating the reaction of the polymer and a cross-linking agent to form a network type polymer matrix in the finished composite.
Prior art techniques for the production of propellant charges have recognized the advantages gained through use of very finely divided oxidizer material. The burning rate of a rocket propellant using ammonium perchlorate as an oxidizer, for example, is increased as the average particle size of the oxidizer is decreased. In response to an increased demand for very fast burning propellants, propellant charges commonly include ammonium perchlorate having an average particle diameter on the order of 5 microns or even less.
Comminution of ammonium perchlorate and similar oxidizers is usually accomplished by grinding techniques. Grinding is commonly carried out as a slurry in an inert liquid such as a relatively high boiling point Freon using a vibro-energy grinding mill. Problems encountered in this prior art grinding technique include the tendency of the finely ground oxidizer salt to regrow during grinding, thus prolonging the grinding time, and the tendency of the ground oxidizer to clump and agglomerate after grinding. Attempts have been made to overcome these difficulties by coating the oxidizer particles during grinding through use of various compounds added to the liquid slurry within the grinding mill. See for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,953,257 and 4,115,166.
The fresh surfaces on oxidizer or explosive particles required for attainment of superior bonding with the polymer matrix of this invention may be achieved with only a minor degree of size reduction. However, in those embodiments of this invention in which finely divided oxidizer salts are included within the propellant or explosive composition, it is advantageous and preferred to grind the oxidizer at cryogenic temperatures in association with an evaporating liquid cryogenic refrigerant; especially with evaporating liquid nitrogen. By operating at these low temperatures, safety of the grinding step is enhanced because the chances for explosive decomposition of the oxidizer due to localized heating or impact is substantially reduced. Grinding rate appears to be increased either because of the greater brittleness of the oxidizers at low temperatures or because of the greatly slowed tendency toward crystal re-growth. The cryogenically ground salts display free flowing characteristics so long as they are maintained at cryogenic temperatures and show little tendency to reagglomerate.
The proportions of polymer binder and oxidizer material or explosive compound will vary depending upon the desired properties of the resulting composite. However, polymer binder is present in minor amount; from about 5% to about 25% of the composite. It is preferred to include a cross-linking agent with all cross-linkable polymers in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 10% based on polymer weight. Other additives including polymer antioxidants, metallic fuels, burning rate catalysts and the like may optionally be included in minor amount depending upon the desired properties of the finished composite. The oxidizer material or explosive compound is present in major amount, typically from about 60% to about 95% by weight of the composite.
The following illustrative example describes use of this invention in preparing a propellant charge.
A quantity of hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene is allowed to contact liquid trimethylolpropane diallylether at ambient temperature until about 3% by weight of the cross-linking agent is absorbed by the polymer. The polymer is then chilled in liquid nitrogen and comminuted to a fine powder using a liquid nitrogen cooled hammer mill. The resulting powder is maintained at liquid nitrogen temperatures after comminution.
Dry, unground ammonium perchlorate is charged into an isulated vibro-energy grinding mill. Liquid nitrogen is added to the mill to cool the charge and to provide a liquid grinding medium. The mixture is ground for a sufficient time to achieve the desired size reduction and the mill is then discharged and the powdered ammonium perchlorate is maintained at liquid nitrogen temperature.
Polymer powder and ground ammonium perchlorate are then mixed in a weight ratio of about 1 to 9 using a solid-solid, cone-type mixer taking care to maintain the materials at cryogenic temperatures during mixing. The mixture is then placed in a cylinderical mold and subjected to a pressure; which pressure is maintained until the mold and contained material reach ambient temperature. The resulting coherent shape is suitable for use as a rocket propellant charge.
It has been stressed in the example and throughout the remainder of the disclosure that, in this invention, the components making up the propellant or explosive composite are blended as dry, cryogenically maintained powders. Since these powders are not significantly reactive, either chemically or physically at cryogenic temperatures they can be blended to a uniform consistency with a minimum of effort. In contrast, it is conventional in the prior art to blend the polymer binder and oxidizer material or explosive compound, at normal temperatures by batch mixing using a pug mill, Banbury mixer or similar device. There results from this mixing a very viscous mass, normally like a heavy molasses, and requiring a lengthy time to achieve a uniform dispersion.
A number of embodiments of this invention have been set forth and various other modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art in view of this disclosure.

Nikon D70 and Sigma lens
September 2006
Nikon D70 and Sigma 170-500mm combo for bird photography on a budget
I purchased the D70 in December 2004, combined with a Sigma 170-500mm lens for the primary purpose of bird photography. I had a budget of around $2,000 to spend on my first DSLR and lens. I had narrowed down my choices to the Canon Digital Rebel and the Nikon D70. Both were excellent cameras, but extensive research influenced my decision to choose the D70 over the Digital Rebel.
The D70 was slightly more expensive than the Rebel, so I had to
decide if the D70 was worth the extra money. One thing that was
important to me was speed. With wildlife photography (especially
birds), a second can make the difference between getting the shot or
not. The D70 had a slight edge here, shooting 3 frames per second
compared with the Rebel's 2.5 frames per second. Another big plus for
the D70 is that when you turn it on it is instantly ready to shoot. The
Rebel takes about three seconds to "boot up," and three seconds is a
long time to wait when photographing birds. Another deciding factor is
that the D70 has more manual control options than the Rebel, and allows
you the ability to virtually override any of the camera's default
settings which in my opinion puts it a step closer to being a pro
camera rather than a consumer camera. The D70 also came with a far
superior kit lens than the Rebel.
shooting with the D70 for over a year and a half now, I am very
impressed with the camera. I have made some terrific images using the
Sigma 170-500mm with the D70. However because this is a slow lens (f6.3
at 500mm), capturing images of birds in flight or any other type of
action shot is difficult, but not impossible. Therefore this lens
basically limits me to "bird on a stick" style of photography. I find
the lens very sharp in its middle ranges, but at 500mm the images are a
little on the soft side. Stopping down a bit helps if there is enough
light; and if that is not possible some post-processing in Photoshop
using unsharp mask most often takes care of that problem. The Sigma
does not have vibration reduction, so a tripod or car window beanbag is
a must in most lighting situations (I have made sharp images
hand-holding this lens, but only in very bright conditions). The use of
proper long lens technique (one hand resting on the barrel of the lens
over the tripod head, eye pressed firmly against the eyecup, hold your
breath as you trip the shutter, etc.) is also a must with this lens.
Although the lens does not produce the images that a prime lens would,
it does produce good quality images. I have sold many of the images I
made with this camera and lens.
The following are some tips I use to manage the performance of my D70:
- I shoot in single-servo mode (AF-S). This setting allows me to lock the focus on a bird's eye by holding the shutter button halfway down, and then recompose the shot while maintaining focus on the bird's eye.
- I always adjust the white balance according to the lighting conditions. The camera has various presets you can choose from: sunny, cloudy, shady, etc. I prefer selecting the white balance manually because I have discovered that auto white balance is not accurate in all situations.
- I use manual ISO, not auto. In good light I prefer ISO 200 as this will produce the least amount of noise. In low light situations I increase the ISO for a faster shutter speed. I have found that the D70 produces low-noise images up to ISO 800 (for full-framed images). Cropping will magnify any noise in the image, and if you plan to do a lot of cropping, the lower the ISO the better.
- I shoot in Aperture Priority mode. This allows you to select the lens' maximum wide-open aperture, thus ensuring that you will have the fastest shutter speed possible.
- I use the D70's matrix metering system and dial in exposure compensation as required. I have found that the D70 does tend to underexpose by 0.3ev in some situations. I have discovered after researching this that Nikon has biased the metering to preserve the highlights, so the camera's default exposure is supposed to protect the images from blown highlights. However, this can result in flat-looking images. The quick fix is to adjust the exposure compensation. Post-processing can also correct the problem but is more time consuming. A more permanent fix would be to download a custom curve that can be found on the Internet and upload it to your camera using Nikon Capture. That way you will spend a lot less time with post-processing. I have read that underexposure is no longer a problem with the newer D70s.
- One of my "tricks" for making sharp images
of birds with a somewhat slow lens is using the D70's burst mode (hold
the shutter down and it fires off three frames in one second). Although
birds are constantly moving, there are often split-second moments when
the bird will remain still. A person's reflexes are often not fast
enough to trip the shutter when it appears the bird has stopped moving.
However, out of the three frames you fire off in a second during burst
mode, one of them is likely to have captured that split-second of
stillness and thus produce a sharp image.
I am still exploring and experimenting with my camera's many features and "fine-tuning" abilities. Overall, I am very happy with the performance of my D70 and the images it produces. I plan to stay with Nikon and upgrade to a D200 (and hopefully a prime) sometime in the future, but will always keep my D70 as a backup.

text: (2009)-A Social Media revolution has been building momentum on the Internet for the past five years, and it is creating a new sense of community and empowerment amongst those who have embraced it. History has shown that poor and marginalized communities stand to gain the most from leaps forward in the democratization of information, so the excitement in areas like Vancouver's maligned Downtown Eastside about the possibilities of Web 2.0 and beyond is palpable. With the Winter Olympics less than a year away, billions have been spent in preparations and many poverty advocates are concerned about how the city's several thousand homeless and working poor will fit into the equation as Vancouver puts on its best face for the world. Against this background the film examines Social Media in action as a group named Fearless City embarks on a campaign to empower and protect its neighbours with cellphones, video-streaming, and the World Wide Web.

Kashiwa Reysol face Monterrey in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2011, with the winners earning a crack at Brazilian outfit Santos in the last four.
The match
Kashiwa Reysol-Monterrey, Toyota Stadium, Sunday, 11 December 2011, 19:30 (local time)
The stakes
Kashiwa Reysol are certainly on a roll at the moment. After securing the J.League title on the last day of the season, they then went on to qualify for the quarter-finals at their first-ever FIFA Club World Cup with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Auckland City. That result was also the biggest margin of victory recorded by a Japanese team in the history of the competition, equalling Urawa Red Diamonds' 3-1 win over Sepahan back in 2007.
Monterrey are also making their debut at the FIFA Club World Cup. The Mexican club qualified courtesy of their CONCACAF Champions League success, where they went unbeaten throughout their 12-match campaign, winning nine of them. Los Rayados will be looking to Aldo de Nigris, Humberto Suazo and Cesar Delgado to provide the goals.
The stat
14 - Luis Perez played in his maiden FIFA tournament 14 years ago, when he represented Mexico at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Egypt 1997. He has since gone on to play in the FIFA Club World Cup Brazil 2000, the Men's Olympic Football Tournament Athens 2004, the FIFA Confederations Cup Germany 2005 and the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™. This is, therefore, the sixth time that the Monterrey captain is taking part in a FIFA tournament.
The words
"We're taking each match as it comes and not even thinking about possibly meeting Santos in the semis. First we've got to take on Monterrey – they're the reigning CONCACAF champions with a team full of top-quality players, including a few internationals. Monterrey have been focusing on this tournament and will be looking to show the world just how strong Mexican football is. It's going to be a real test for us. Fortunately they don't tend to sit back and defend, which means that we'll hopefully be able to find a few openings," Nelsinho Baptista, Kashiwa Reysol coach.
"A tournament like this is the only chance that Mexican football has to really show what it's worth. We have every chance, and the team are in good shape at the moment. They're strong, talented, solid and they're also hungry for success, which is another important aspect. To tell you the truth, we're looking to go all the way," Victor Vucetich, Monterrey coach
