Mumbai gangrape: All accused arrested
The Mumbai Police has finally nabbed all the five accused in the Mumbai gangrape case with the arrest of the fifth attacker from New Delhi on Sunday even as the 22-year of photojournalist subjected to the assault reportedly said she would want to go back to work since "rape is not the end of life".
The fifth accused was identified as Salim Ansari, who had managed to escape to Delhi. He has been now brought to Mumbai.
According to police, Ansari was the main accused who accosted the photojournalist along with her male colleague and charged the interns of trespassing on railway property.
Ansari on the pretext of taking the two to officials, separated them and raped the girl along with his other companions.
Investigators said he was the one who instigated his four friends to rape the 22-year-old.
The fourth accused, Kasim Bengali was also arrested on Sunday morning.
The police called him the most brutal attacker of all the five involved in the heinous crime.
Earlier, the second accused in the Mumbai gangrape case, who was arrested from a video parlour in South Mumbai on Saturday morning, had confessed to his crime, said police.
Nationwide outrage poured out on Friday after a 22-year-old photojournalist was raped by five men on Thursday evening in south Mumbai, sparking memories of the brutal gangrape of a woman in Delhi last December.
All five of the suspects were identified and their sketches were released following the arrest of Chand Babu Sattat Shaikh alias Mohammed Abdul (19), a resident of South Mumbai who is unemployed.
According to the police, the photojournalist and a male colleague, who were interning with a city publication, entered Shakti Mill in Central Mumbai at 6 p.m. on Thursday.
Two of the accused accosted them and accused the interns of trespassing on railway property and on the pretext of taking the two to officials, the accused separated them.
The young man, who had a camera, was hit with a belt and tied up while the photojournalist was dragged behind some trees 15-20 feet away.
The duo called three others and took turns to rape the woman, assaulting her and eventually knocking her unconscious.
According to the doctors attending her, the survivor remains in hospital and is recovering well from internal and external injuries.
"Rape is not the end of life; I want to get back to work," she is reported to have said to Nirmala Samant Prabhawalkar, a member of the National Commission for Women, who visited her in hospital.
The incident brought back the memories of the Dec 16 fatal gangrape in New Delhi.
On Dec 16, six people gangraped and brutalised 23-year-old Jyoti Sharma with an iron rod on a moving bus in New Delhi. The victim succumbed to her injuries at a Singapore hospital on Dec 29.
The incident triggered nationwide outrage against rising cases of crime against women in India with people pouring into the streets of New Delhi for days and demanding a change of law and strict punishment of the accused.

Your cart is empty!
It is a toilet cleaner, plain and simple. Its intended to provide complete hygiene for your toilet, leaving it fresh and clean, well, But one of the best things about this particular toilet cleaner is the twisted nozzle, which means you no longer have to be double-jointed or hang upside down like a bat when using it, because the unique angled neck makes squirting the product under your loo rim that much easier. Stand the pack on its side, and sure enough, there is some resemblance to a duck, complete with red beak.
This is the only cleaner that gets my shower truly clean. This also does a good job of cleaning the residue off the glass shower door. Tile Cleaner contains Glycolic Acid as a cleaning agent.It is ecologically friendly because it works great.
This bath room cleaner, Cleans with a fresh scent. It removes calcium, lime, grease and grime. It brings out a shiny gleam and a beautiful finish. It cleans the surface with no residue. I love this one because it works better.
I want to buy the 18 inches snake draining kit with 16 oz. gel but my order does not seem to be accepted on your end. Awaiting

Does getting thyroid cancer have to do with a history of it in your family?
Rachel Kelz, MD, MSCE, at Penn Medicine responds:
Some thyroid cancers are associated familial cancer syndromes. Those are unusual. Most thyroid cancers are sporadic meaning they are not associated with a family history of thyroid cancer. That said, a family history of thyroid cancer should be mentioned to the evaluating physician whenever present.
This question and answer was part of OncoLink's Brown Bag Web Chat Series. View the entire transcript of Focus on Thyroid Cancer.

So I am currently with a unit and go to my unit for the first time on thurs to check it out. SO I already been through basic, ait, airborne. But once I enlisted I never thought bout bieng a officer or seeing the programs they offered. I just wanted to be a soldier. But as I went through my training esp airborne I saw and my perspective changed on wanting to become an officer. I already have 74 credits so I would be considered as a jr this fall. My question is. What would happen to my gi bill 1606, TA, Kicker, the money I would recieve for attending school? I know rotc offfers there own contract, and stipend and what not. Its tough cuz I want to work my way up to an NCO, but the same time I want to commision as a officer. Just trying to get an insight and opinions on my issue. Along with what anyone else would like to share with me.And to add, as of yesterday I sumbited my forms to the va. And all the ?s they asked me about rotc, I said no cuz I wasnt attending or going to rotc. But today when I visited the ROTC program at my school, they said that didnt matter, that I would just need make sure that I want to comission and they wanted to see one of my forms and then they will go from there

ROTC/SMP program
Re: ROTC/SMP program
I've actually posted a sticky under "Benefits" that answers your questions about your benefits: http://www.nationalguard.com/forums/...B-SR%29-Kicker
If you have any further questions about becoming an Officer, I would recommend taking a look around the Forums. There's a lot of experienced Officers on here that have shared their perspective. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Re: ROTC/SMP program
From my own experience with SMP, I was receiving: Drill pay, GI Bill, Kicker (make sure it's in your contract), and ROTC stipend. Because you are National Guard, you can contract as a non-scholarship cadet and still receive your GI bill and kicker benefits along with the ROTC stipend. You will have to re-apply for GI bill benefits every semester or fiscal year, I can't remember. For TA and National Guard questions about SMP, most schools have National Guard liasons. Also, since you are a junior, you would have to contract this year to be commissioned through ROTC.
TA goes straight to the school (well after payment is due) so I had to fight with the business office every semester to make sure they wouldn't drop my classes due to non-payment.
Be careful not to accept any ROTC scholarship benefits. I won a $500 scholarship from our ROTC alumni association during my senior year and had my GI bill benefits disapproved, even though I was a non-scholarship cadet. I am currently still dealing with the appeal process.

Steelers could be rusty [2:13 PM]
ESPN reports: How will the long layoff affect the Steelers?
I don't think anyone knows the answer to that question. One of the scary things could be the Steelers' sharpness of play and all the things that needed to be fine-tuned after Week 1. The coaches won't know if they got fine-tuned until they line up against the Bills on Sunday. Being game-time sharp is much different than being practice sharp. I wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers were rusty.
Donahoe gets his shot at Steelers [2:02 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: '"If this game would have occurred a month or so after I left Pittsburgh, it would be different," he maintained. "But it's been a long time and it's not a news item any more ... I'm a Buffalo Bill. We have our football team and we have our issues that we're trying to address and that's where my concentration is." And if you believe that ...'
Steelers' Hard-Luck FB Kreider Hurt Again [2:01 PM]
McKeesport Daily News reports: 'Kreider fractured a finger in his right hand during practice. He's listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Buffalo, but obviously won't be 100 percent.'
Steelers Rested, Bills Hurting [2:00 PM]
McKeesport Daily News reports: 'Cowart's injury has been talked about as the most detrimental to the Bills, because of his importance in the defense. Yet, Ostroski and some other key members of the Bills' offensive line, including starting right tackle Jonas Jennings (doubtful, leg) and starting left tackle John Fina (questionable, leg), are down and that could spell even bigger problems for the Bills - and more happiness for the Steelers defense.'
Steelers hope for progress [9:26 AM]
Washington Observer Reporter reports: 'The Steelers are like sharks this week. They smell the blood in the water.'
QBs on the hot seat [9:03 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'When the Pittsburgh Steelers (0-1) meet the Buffalo Bills (0-2), the game is more likely to come down to which quarterback can avoid losing the game rather than which quarterback can take the game by the throat and win it.'
Bills tighten security, plan pregame tribute [9:02 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The team on Wednesday announced security measures that will be in place Sunday, but also said there will be a tribute to the terrorists' victims. Some types of vehicles will be barred from stadium parking lots, and several items that fans are used to carrying into the games will be banned at the stadium's outer gates. Aircraft will not be permitted overhead. But a pregame ceremony will pay tribute to the terrorists' victims, miniature U.S. flags will be distributed, and many local firefighters and police will be on hand.'
Cowart lands on injured reserve; offensive line losing bodies [9:02 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'A sign on the entrance to the Bills' locker room Monday: ATTITUDE. Blame No One Expect Nothing/ Do Something.'
Burress thinks 1st touchdown catch could get him going [5:25 AM]
Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports: '"I just need to get into the end zone one time," said Burress, entering the second game of his second pro season Sunday in Buffalo. "That's all it's going to take for me to get that feeling back. I'm not going to throw the ball in the stands or act the fool or anything."'
Steelers Report [5:24 AM]
Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports: 'The Bills have allowed nine sacks in two games, which prompted a question to Brown about what the problem might be. "We got too many of that," Brown said. "That is the problem."'
Burress hopes he has patience to succeed [5:23 AM]
Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports: 'Burress has what looks like another chance to excel Sunday when the Steelers play the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Burress, 6-foot-5, will be matched largely against cornerbacks Ken Irvin, Antoine Winfield and Nate Clements, all of whom are 6-8 inches shorter. But Burress said that is no guarantee that he will succeed.'
Steelers to visit Donahoe, Bills [5:22 AM]
Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports: 'Buffalo Bills president and general manager Tom Donahoe still has several friends in Pittsburgh, especially in the Steelers' locker room. One reason: When he resigned as the Steelers' director of football operations in January 2000, he wrote a personal note to every member of the team.'
Ready for another game [5:21 AM]
Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports: 'I'm really looking forward to the Buffalo game. It's been a pretty good series over the years, probably for a lot of the same reasons we've had a rivalry with Cleveland. We're both blue collar towns and the teams that represent those cities take on that city's personality. I anticipate a pretty physical game.'
No defending Bills defence [5:16 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: '"This is the hand we've been dealt with, for whatever reason -- injuries, coaches, off-season (changes). Whatever, this is where we're at."'
Start pleases Bills' Farris [5:10 AM]
D and C reports: '"Don't think I haven't thought of that, but yeah, it would mean a little bit more," Farris said. "You've always got something to prove in this league, but the fact it's the Steelers means a little bit more to me."'
NFL's Bills tighten security at stadium [5:09 AM]
D and C reports: '"Heightened security is a fact of life in the society we live in today," said general manager Tom Donahoe. "We have taken measures, and it will be obvious, but we will try to do it in a way where it doesn't disrupt the fans' enjoyment."'
Stadium security [5:09 AM]
D and C reports: 'Everything will be inspected.'
Steelers Prepare For Bills Game [9:20 PM]
Steelers Digest reports: '"It is interesting," said Cowher. "If anybody looks at us, last year we were 0-2 and finished with a winning record. The two previous years, were were 2-0 and finished with losing records. All that I will say is that I think you need to be careful in drawing too quick conclusions too fast. You don't want to get too far away from being in the chase, but at the same time, the most important thing is not about other people."'
Security will be tight in Buffalo [9:17 PM]
Pittsburgh Steelers reports: 'Of the six touchdowns the Colts scored on Buffalo, Williams was most upset with the three drives that lasted only two plays each. "What I saw on most of the (big) plays was somebody trying to do someone else's job."'
Steelers visit Buffalo in search of first win [9:15 PM]
Pittsburgh Steelers reports: 'If the Steelers can stop Henry early, it will make things much easier for their secondary. Don't be surprised, then, if Buffalo spends the first quarter establishing the run. Don't be fooled, either. The Bills are a passing team. Moulds is always a deep threat and Centers and Riemersma keep defenses very honest with their prowess underneath.'
Steelers Remember Farris [9:10 PM]
Pittsburgh.com reports: '"Kris Farris?" inside linebacker Earl Holmes asked with a look of mistrust. "Well, I'm not going to say he sucked."'
Brown has Faith in Pitt [9:08 PM]
Pittsburgh.com reports: 'Ruben Brown on how long Williams' honeymoon in Buffalo will last: "With the Buffalo media, the honeymoon is over right now."'
Bills sign Robinson to practice squad; cut Taylor [8:48 PM]

BuffaloBills.com reports: Bills signed LB Junior Robinson to the practice squad and released WR Chris Taylor from the practice squad. Robinson was in the Bills 2001 training camp but released before the regular season.
Bills place MLB Cowart on injured reserve [4:34 PM]
Sportsticker reports: 'Bills rookie coach Gregg Williams probably regrets his decision to waive veteran linebacker John Holecek in training camp in the wake of Cowart's injury. Holecek was a starter at inside linebacker in Buffalo's 3-4 defense last year, but was deemed expendable when Williams switched to a 4-3 alignment.'
Bills heighten security measures at Ralph Wilson Stadium [4:33 PM]
AP reports: 'Fans can not bring anything larger than a small purse into the stadium. The ban includes thermoses, which had previously been allowed in the stadium, as well as binocular and camera cases and fanny packs and backpacks. Coolers had not been permitted under the team's previous security policy. To compensate, the Bills announced that they are reducing the cost by 25 cents of bottled water, coffee and hot chocolate.'
Bills' Defensive Stalwart Out for Season [3:04 PM]
AP reports: The Buffalo Bills will be without their best defensive player for the rest of the season.
Bills rookie coach Gregg Williams probably regrets his decision to waive veteran LB John Holecek in training camp in the wake of Cowart's injury. Holecek was a starter at inside LB in Buffalo's 3-4 defense last year, but was deemed expendable when Williams switched to a 4-3 alignment.

A diversion into food production engineering and process design for a few years meant that Dan could concentrate on his personal desires (see below), whilst gaining invaluable insights into the interaction between people and their environment, which he uses regularly today to develop and refine courses.
At the time of the Adventure Activities Licensing Act, (1995-6), Dan was part of a working party reviewing current practice in mountain bike leadership. This work resulted in the development of the qualifications delivered at the time by OTC Training which have now morphed into the CTC portfolio. Dan's involvement in delivering and overseeing cycling qualifications has continued unabated since then.
Personal experiences
One of the lucky people to ride one of the first five Cannondales into the UK, Dan was fortunate enough to be part of the Yorkshire Schools Exploring Societies expedition to the Himalayas in 1987. Yes, this photo (left) is at 5000m altitude, and yes, those colours were the height of '80's fashion.
Dan has raced bikes to the very highest level, competing in the first mountain bike world championships at Durago, Colorado in 1989 and El Ciocco, Italy in 1990, as well as several European Championships.
After a few years riding for fun at locations around the world, he has now settled down, though still reached the dizzy heights of 4th in the National Championships (2012) and 2nd in the national rankings (cyclo cross and mountain biking)
What drives his personal desire for riding is encountering great environments with good friends, no matter whether on foot, bike or snowboard.
The net result
Even though most of his role involves co-ordinating others who get the best bit of the job (i.e. training you), Dan still loves his work, knowing that what he does positively influences over 1 million rides a year

At 5.7 oz this jacket never stays home on any outing. It is just the right warmth to take the chill out of the air. On everyone of my trips lately (aside from day trips in the middle of summer) this jacket has been worn. on a chilly night on a mountain top in the summer it adds just enough insulation to make me feel like I am in my warm bed at home.It is a great addition to any pack and worth having based on its weight and function alone. My wife says i look like i am wearing a trash bag, but at least I am warm!
Rating: 4 / 5
MB just barely missed the mark w/this one.What is nearly a perfect rendition of the UL jacket, is missing some sort of waist hem retention. Whether it is an UL drawcord hem or elastic (like on the wrists - doh!), I feel that the jacket would perform a bit better. The current cut is pretty boxy IMO. That being said, the EX Light is an amazing coat for its weight. It now comes w/ me on nearly every 3+ season trip.Truly a 9/10 on the UL Richter scale.
this is w/o any doubt a no frills no jacket- no pockets, no adjustable anything- it does have a zipper though! :)mine is a size large and is right at 6.0 oz, packs into the size of a baseballlofts quickly and the high quality down warms more than you'd think looking at the jacketgreat around camp and has been used several times to give my quilt a little boostI have a Patagonia down sweater and it's a nice piece of gear- w/ lots of little bells/whistles, but at almost twice the weight- when your trying to pare oz's- this is the insulating jacket to have IMO
So Santa brought me a men's small for Christmas. The fit for me is perfect. I'm 5'6" 130 pounds and typically wear a 14.5 32-33 dress shirt. I have full range of motion in this size but there is no superfluous material. The weight without the stuff sack is 4.79 oz. The stuff suck bumps this up to 5.01 oz so still considerably lighter than the 5.7 oz that Mont-Bell's website states.
the key to using this jacket is to use it under a windshell or synthetic jacket like a nanopuffby itself the shell is fairly fragile, there are no pockets, there is no waist string ...however once you put it under a shell, not only is it warmer, it also protects the jacketat 5.5 oz for a medium it provides enough insulation down to freezing with a shellpair it with a 10-14 oz lightweight synth jacket and i'm good to around 20F ... and the setup is pretty bomber shrugging off PNW weather with ease
I'm a big guy and have the Ex Light in XXL - weighs 7.8 ounces. In addition to being a great piece of insulation to wear I've found that I can use it in my hammock as an extra top quilt by opening it (not wearing it) and draping it over myself and tucking the arms under me.Since I'm carrying the jacket for in camp anyway it allows me to carry a lighter top quilt for sleeping. I don't like sleeping in it because temperature regulation (I get hot easily) becomes too challenging, but using it as a short quilt works really well.
I have the Ex Light in a large and I am 5'7" 175lbs (16.5, 32/33 dress shirt). The fit is great. As was said before, this jacket is meant as a layering piece, and it does its job very well. Warmer than it looks, and the Sunset Orange is a very pleasing color, not too shiny.I agree it could possibly benefit from a draw string, but the lack of it is not a detractor for me. I know I will have to be a bit careful because of the light weight fabric, but that is a price we often pay for UL gear.I paid $140 for is from backcountry, and it is worth every cent.

The reservation was canceled 23 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
OK, so the 4 of us had a great stay, with a couple of issues. The building is well set up for two couples, the kitchen well equipped, and the view from the veranda is spectacular. The horses are fun to watch / interact with.
Issues: this is just a note. My wife and I spend a lot of time in Costa Rica (this trip is 3 months) and we're used to driving "difficult" roads. The road to Rancho Tranquilo is stone and dirt, and is literally down a mountain, up a mountain. 4 wheel drive is a necessity. The trip from the main road to the Rancho is at least 20 minutes. Be prepared, chill, and you'll do fine.
The other note: ants! Muchas ants! The one bedroom was, fine, ours had a colony traipsing across the bed. We asked for and received bug spray and used it liberally, and still they marched across us. At our next hotel, 200 dead ants fell out of one of our backpacks.
Again, we're used to Costa Rica and to insects, but this did seem just on the edge of acceptability.
But here's the point: we will go back! The view and the surroundings outweigh the issues, but newcomers to Costa Rica need to understand that "stuff happens."
Cabina at Rancho was a perfect place of rest for us on our adventurous travel from southern Corcovado to northern Nosara. The cabina is cozy and well equipped to offer comfortable stay, and the spacious porch with rocking chairs and hammock makes it really hard to leave the house;). Views of the valley are breathtaking, as are animals flying by - we have spotted tucans, humming birds, blue butterflies, and off course - Linda's beautiful horses. Linda is a great host. Bonus: Spectacular sunsets!! . P.S. Try to get there before dark - good rule of thumb for all Costa Rican travels - most roads are dirt roads and it's very easy to get lost after the sun sets (6pm). We had a great stay, thank you Linda!!
This was a very special, unique experience. Linda was a wonderful host. I plan to return!
About the Host, Jim And Cori
Jim and Coralia are the new owners of Rancho Tranquilo. They've got lots of great ideas for making your horseback vacation extra special. They're committed to continuing our fine traditions with the same Happy Horses of Rancho Tranquilo of course!

VA3SIE Bike Mobile Station
I had to rebuilt my bicycle mobile antenna yesterday, the old one failed. This was not unexpected I had made an error while building it and I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did (3 years). So I thought this is a good opportunity to build it better and share the details.
The Design
The DBJ-2 (construction article here) is a roll-up dual-band J-pole. It offers significant gain (7dB – 10dB+) compared to the stock rubber ducky antenna. It is better than a ground plane for a bicycle because it does no need a counterpoise and the high current sections are higher up off the ground so there is less ground loss. Also because it is a base loaded long antenna it is easy to mount on a bicycle.
This design is interesting! While a standard 2m J-pole does resonate on 70cm, the radation pattern is not ideal. Most of the energy is directed out at more than 45° elevation resulting in a 4dB to 6dB loss compared to a groundplane.
This antenna design incorporates the following elements. At the base is a (shorted) 15″ matching stub, tapped for 50Ω. This stub is λ/4 on 2m and 3λ/4 on 70cm. At the top of this matching stub is the first ¼″ notch. This notch stops isolates the current on the other side of the twinlead, ensuring that the bottom 15″ does not radiate (since the RF current flows on both sides of the twinlead in this section).
Above that is a λ/2 UHF radiator. Above that is a λ/4 shorted stub constructed from RG-174 coax. This coax stub is open circuit at UHF. At the top end of the coax stub is an additional 18″ of 300Ω twinlead which completes the λ/2 VHF radiating element (which includes the UHF radiating element, the coax stub and the remainder of the twin lead).
The coax stub is slightly inductive at VHF and the twinlead has a velocity factor, so the lengths shown above are all shorter than the value you might expect.
Construction Details
I constructed this antenna using TV twinlead from Princess Auto.
Stage One
I started by completely removing the twinlead plastic from 1″ to 1 ½″ from the bottom of the coax and twisting together the wires at the bottom end of the coax. This gives me a ½″ section to slide the feed wires along to find a good 50Ω match.
Next, I removed the three ¼″ notches on the ground side of the twinlead. But rather than snipping out both the wire and the plastic I snipped the plastic with a cutter at either end of the ¼″ notch and then slit it down the side with a hobby knife, pried the plastic open with a screw driver and pulled out the wire with needle-nodes pliers. This way, when I tape up the plastic afterwards it is still very structurally strong.
Stage Two
After that, I prepared the coax stub. I clipped a 4¾″ section of RG-174 and I stripped the outer cover from ¼″ at each end to expose the shield. At the top end, I pulled back the shield strands and straightened them out, and I removed the inner dielectric, then I pulled the shield strands back out to mingle with the inner strands. Thus, the stub is shorted at the top end. At the bottom end I pulled the shield strands out and then clipped them off, exposing the inner dielectric. I removed ½ of the dielectricm exposing some of the coax inner wire. I realized that during soldering ½ again of the exposed dielectric would melt back. This completes the 4¼″ stub preparation.
I also clipped out two ¼″ notches and this time I removed the plastic, to expose two ¼″ wires to connect the stub between.
Finally, I soldered the stub into the twinlead and taped the ends securely. In order to ensure a good connection, I did not twist any of the wires of the RG-174 inner/outer or the wires in the twinlead. I mingled all the wires together and then soaked in some solder at 750º. Capillary action created some nice strong sections without too much solder. I then taped the notched areas securely.
Stage Three
Finally, I prepared the RG-58 feed coax by exposing ¾″ of inner and outer separated by ⅛″ of dielectric and I trimmed some of the outer wires so that the outer and inner were roughly the same diameter, easier to work with. Then I taped up all the remaining notches and weak points, and I connected the RG-58 feed point to the ½″ matching area, ready to perform the final testing & trimming.
I connected the antenna to my bicycle. It is supported at the back of the bicycle by two fiberglass sections of a Shakespeare Wonderpole TPS-20 fishing pole to which it is simply taped. There is a coax balun in one of the bicycle panniers and then the coax runs to the front of the bicycle where it connects to my VX-8r H/T which is attached to the handlebars with bungee cords. The microphone (and integrated GPS antenna) is also connected to the bicycle frame with a bungee cord.
I used an MFJ-259B antenna analyzer (on loan from Anthony at the QRP Club – Thanks, Anthony!!) to analyze the antenna. It was resonant at 136MHz. I guess this is due to the velocity factor of the twin lead. Moving the feed point across the ½″ sliding area produced no change in the resonant point but did change the SWR. The SWR was better (around 1.2:1) at the top of the sliding range. So I proceeded to trim off one inch at a time from the top of the antenna to bring it into the 2m band. I ended up having to remove 7″ to get the resonant frequency to 147MHz. With the feed point at the top of the sliding range, the match was 1.1:1.
Since I removed this length from the area above the UHF trap, I expect that the antenna is not a good match on UHF. I estimate that it will be around 410MHz. I don't have a UHF analyzer to be able confirm this guess. Next time I build this antenna I will scale the entire antenna to be 15% shorter in all the twinlead sections, assuming that I use the Princess Auto twinlead again.
Finally, I took it for a test drive on my bicycle! I use a bluetooth headset to connect to the radio wirelessly, this offers superb freedom while cycling. I compared the APRS map from this cycle trip with an identical trip with my old J-pole. The results were encouraging. Excluding some minor variations, the same digipeaters heard me as well as they used to. Also I was able to hear some fairly distant repeaters and to have conversations on some close ones so the antenna was working and was working well!!
As an aside, as I approached the Rockliffe Airport, I monitored airband and heard 3 aircraft arranging themselves into a landing pattern for runway 09. The end of runway 09 is right on the cycle path, so I stopped my bike there and continued to monitor. A few minutes later and three aircraft all landed in succession right over my head. I could hear the propeller blades feathering in the wind. Wow!! What fun!

Though junior high is never easy, we were particularly lucky to go through that crucible in the early nineties. Our impressionable tween and early teen years were spent in an excellent era: we basically grew up with email, saw the original 90210 in real time, and got to watch Tom Ford take over and transform Gucci into an ultra-edgy brand. But more importantly than tech advances or fashion house revamps, our formative period took place when the original "supers"-Cindy, Linda, Christy, Naomi, and today's subject, Claudia-ruled the world.These single-name stunners were business savvy and broad-shouldered, commanded the catwalks and magazine covers with equal aplomb, and had impossibly glamorous hair, as well as personality to spare. Of all the supers, we thought that Ms. Schiffer seemed like a particularly appropriate choice for a What Would She Wear story, as she's back on the modeling scene and looks better than ever. That's right, between her recent campaigns for Chanel, Salvatore Ferragamo (both Fall 08), Dolce & Gabbana (Resort 09), and her upcoming star turn in Yves Saint Laurent's Spring 09 campaign, Schiffer's comeback is certain.
Aside from her professional accolades, the German beauty's impeccable personal style is consistently impressive. While she usually chooses striking, elegant gowns for red carpet events or turns up in ladylike ensembles for less formal occasions (think: knee-length skirts, girly tucked-in blouses, and classic belts), we think Schiffer's casual off-duty outfits are the most compelling.
Often spotted strolling London's damp streets, Schiffer showcases her sophisticated, slightly seventies, polished bohemian taste. On these outings, we've seen her in pretty paisley dresses worn with opaques and flats, bow-tie blouses paired with skinny jeans and moccasin booties, and expertly layered chunky knits. Accessory-wise, she usually can be found in an oversized Jackie-O-inspired set of shades, carrying a long-strap structured bag, and with a print scarf tied around her neck. Accordingly, we sleuthed out some similarly relaxed-yet-refined pieces as an ode to our muse. Read on for the results of our quest and all the items' information!
1. Cordani Tate Ankle Boots
While we found many different shoe styles that could have worked for Schiffer's What Would She Wear story (like the Amore Fringe Lace Boot ($160) or a classic pair of Minnetonka Fringe Bootie ($41.50), which are currently on sale), but ultimately we decided upon some simple Cordani boots. The double buckle at the ankle is the sort of subtle detail that Schiffer favors, while the low heel and rounded toe are a nod to her practicality.
2. Forever 21 Jada Fur Vest ($33)
Whether it's a furry cream gilet or a thickly woven, short-sleeved sweater, Schiffer loves to layer, so this faux fur vest is in perfect keeping with her style. Wear it in a CS-sort of way and throw it on over a long-sleeved turtleneck in a rich color, like eggplant or burnt orange.
3. Topshop Gold Button Trousers ($80)
When it comes to pants, our subject sticks to lean styles, but tries a range of lengths and will play with few different cuts. These high-waisted trousers would be a fresh addition to Schiffer's stable of pantalones, as they're ankle-grazing (very of the moment), a bit relaxed in the thigh, and still have that narrow leg she loves so much.
4. Balenciaga Orange and Translucent Sunglasses ($419)
No doubt Schiffer would look swell in any style of sunglasses, but we've noticed that her go-to frames are slightly oversized and softly squarish. As such, we went for this pair of orange dappled Balenciaga shades, as they are a modern update to this classic look.
5. ASOS Leather Retro Push Lock Across Body Bag ($103)
We knew we needed to find either a structured Hermes Birkin/Kelly bag style or something long-strapped and slightly seventies. The latter won out when we found this beautiful blue-gray satchel, as it has the retro lines and luxe look of many of Schiffer's current totes.
6. Vince Portrait Collar Cardigan ($280)
It was hard to resist including this ribbed cardi in our roundup, so we didn't! The dramatic collar is tempered by sweater's soft neutral hue and we could completely envision Schiffer adoring its long, trim lines.
7. Heritage 1981 Silk Floral Top ($25)
Schiffer tends to incorporate at least one print or pattern into most of her outfits, usually via a scarf or some sort of girly shirt. This dainty floral silk top, complete with a ruffled bodice, has the right look, not to mention an excellent price too!

Archive for the 'Art Moderne' tag
When Art Deco is really Streamline Moderne, and what it meant for 1930s auto design
Images from the Hemmings archives and as credited
The decade of the 1930s was home to some of the most beautiful automotive styling ever created. The products of that decade – automobiles, household items, clothing, architecture and more – can be traced back to their period of origin because of their distinctive appearance. Perhaps more blatantly so than in other decades, the look of those products was influenced by the popular design trends of their day, those being Art Deco and Streamline Moderne.
Art Deco is one of those terms that people generally apply to the bold, swoopy, intricate designs that were broadly seen from the late 1920s through the early 1940s. But what does it really mean? It's a term that was coined in the late 1960s, and it refers to an international decorative arts movement that entered popular consciousness after the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exhibit of Decorative Arts and Modern Industries) event was held in Paris. Characterized by spare, geometrical patterns, boldly saturated colors and use of contrasting materials, this "Style moderne," as it was then called, was a reaction to the perceived excesses of the Art Nouveau (circa 1890-1914) movement; during that movement's period of influence, the automobile was largely too primitive and mechanically-focused to overtly exhibit its influence.
The period between World Wars I and II has been called America's Machine Age; it was a time when progress was everywhere, when cars and trains and airplanes became more efficient and faster and the country pushed forward to modernity. Art Deco is most closely tied with the "Roaring Twenties," reaching at its peak of popularity in the first half of the Machine Age, when it dominated high-end luxury crafts, as well as influencing architecture and furnishings. Its ornamentation included zigzags, chevrons, sun rays and stylized foliage, with an emphasis on vertical shapes and sharp geometric arrangements.

The most famous American example of a building decorated with Art Deco design motifs – and not coincidentally, one with an automotive theme as well – is New York City's iconic Chrysler Building, designed by William Van Alen and dating from 1930.

As America slipped further into the Great Depression, Art Deco's cheery influence was gradually tempered with, and then replaced by, that of the related Streamline (or, to the art world, Art) Moderne. Using the Depression's austerity to its advantage and celebrating the machine-made, this home-grown design theme tapped into the general sense of progress that arrived with newly practical and accessible transportation forms like the metal fuselage-bodied airplane, the sleek Zeppelin, the high performance automobile and the luxurious ocean liner. Also influential were new industrial, scientific and communication machines that, for the average consumer, created desire for greater efficiency, dynamism and speed.

The streamlining influence that began to appear in car styling in the early-mid 1930s – those cues that we generally characterize as Art Deco – was actually Streamline Moderne. Representing this aerodynamic efficiency and speed in design form were Streamline Moderne's smoothly curved aesthetics, spare, horizontal "speed lines" and careful symmetry. Grilles and windshields leaned back, fenders were crowned and valanced, and cars sat lower over wider, smaller-diameter wheels and balloon tires.

Like the 1925 Paris exposition did for Art Deco, the 1933-1934 "Century of Progress" Chicago World's Fair did for Streamline Moderne: It introduced this new refined movement to the general public. Replacing the tight control, ornate decoration and bold colors of Deco were sleek forms, neutral and pastel colors and metallic accents; new materials like Bakelite plastic, Vitrolite opaque glass and Formica, as well as technical materials like engine-turned and polished aluminum, brushed stainless steel and glossy enamel, were favored. Even more so than had Art Deco, the Streamline Moderne style found its way into virtually every aspect of Americans' lives, including architecture and home goods, where it made devices that were previously purely functional into items of beauty.

As the 1930s progressed, cars showed this newfound style, sometimes in small ways like exterior body trim, radiator grilles, hood ornaments, dashboards, instrumentation, interior panels and even seating…

Aircraft-inspired 1934 Chrysler Airflow tubular seat frames.
And sometimes they pushed the boundaries of design altogether, as in forward-thinking concepts like 1938's Buick Y-Job and the otherworldly Phantom Corsair.
World War II changed everything, and when auto production resumed in 1945, we'd left the Machine Age and entered the Atomic Age, and automotive styling moved on. Whether we attribute it to Art Deco or Streamline Moderne design trends, we've never forgotten how beautiful the promise of modern speed, seen through a 1930s looking glass, could be.

Thinking of changing your major? Use the "What if" option- DegreeWorks allows you to determine which classes you have taken that can count towards a different degree program of your choosing. By using the "What If" option, DegreeWorks will generate a new audit for you. This new audit will show you how close you are to graduation if you were to switch programs. Get more detailed directions on how to use the "What If" option (PDF). Feel free to play with it as much as you like, as it will not interfere with you current audit.
