Film shows gun need
Thomas V. Cook
Jefferson Township
Since the tragic events in December at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, Butler Eagle readers have had to endure a virtual tug-of-war between pro- and anti-gun factions.
We have been inundated with the ramblings of self-proclaimed constitutional scholars. One writer at length interpreted the "well-regulated militia" phrase, while another has determined that we have no right to a home arsenal.
Let me boil all the arguments down to why we have a Second Amendment. I saw a movie — "Schindler's List" — a few years ago where the only one who had guns was the government.
Enough said.

Despite its grim title, this sequel to J.J. Abrams� really, really good, but not quite great reboot of the �Star Trek� franchise is going to be an absolute joyride for a lot of viewers. The writing has been knocked up a few notches; though Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) still remain at the film�s center, the rest of the crew has been given more to do this time; and most important, �Into Darkness� is truly a valentine to �Star Trek� fans, especially those who have been into it since the original TV show. The film is filled with little shout-outs to us. A couple of times the script just walks up and says hello to hardcore fans of the show and, to a lesser degree, the first films. Newcomers to the �Star Trek� universe won�t realize what�s going on, while certain references will give big smiles to those in the know.
The story takes place in 2259. No, that�s not a star date, it�s the year. Some of it happens in San Francisco, some in London, some out in space, the final frontier. Spock is and always will be a stick-to-the-rules guy. Kirk is a freewheeling leader who does what needs to be done to get things done. Someone utters the words �acting Captain Sulu.�
Actually, there�s so much going on in this movie, I�m going to let loose with four lines of dialogue, totally out of context.
�We�re defenseless, sir!�
�Beam me out!�
�What are you doing with that Tribble?� (I told you there were references.)
�Dammit, I�m a doctor, not a ...� (Fill in the blank.)
�Star Trek Into Darkness� starts the way great action movies should start, with a lot of action. Kirk and Bones are literally on the run, Spock � in a cool copper colored suit � is busy putting his life on the line. Interplanetary rules are broken, souls are bared, fast banter is volleyed, and attitudes are very much on display, as are relationships. The romantic one between Spock and Uhura has become serious; swinging single Kirk is revealed to have a thing for alien females � yes, that�s plural (you can tell they�re aliens because they have tails!).
�Star Trek� has always been famous for making its stories the most important piece of the puzzle. There�s no exception here, and �Into Darkness� � story really kicks into gear with the introduction of the villainous John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch, British TV�s current Sherlock Holmes). Initially we don�t know much about this guy except that he�s responsible for what would generally be termed a terrorist attack on a major city, and that he is, according to the folks in Star Fleet, �one of our own.�
There are spectacular visuals to match the wild action, and there are moments of quiet, serious talk that nicely complement perfect segments of comic relief. Best of all, the writers have learned an important lesson from 2009�s �Star Trek.� This time they�ve made sure to stay away from anything resembling the time-space continuum business of that film that had even some of the most diehard fans wondering what the heck was going on.

text: NEW YORK ( MainStreet)--A couple from Hendersonville, N.C. always dreamed of settling down in paradise and moved to Belize last year to retire along the scenic barrier reefs. "Our primary financial motivation for retiring abroad was to achieve a lower cost of living in a tropical setting," said David Wright, 65, who moved with his wife, Elizabeth, 52, to Ranchito Village, an expatriate enclave near Corozal, Belize. For Americans retiring overseas, places in Latin America and the Caribbean are an economic haven for stretching a dollar and paying less in healthcare costs. "The strategy is to move somewhere that counts, and the cost of living in Latin America is a fraction of the cost of the U.S," said Dan Prescher, special projects editor at International Living, a publication that focuses on international retirement. The rising cost of healthcare coverage and limited savings other than home equity are pressuring many baby boomers to consider retirement abroad to lower their living expenses. Half of Americans have less than $25,000 in total savings, excluding the value of their primary home and pension plans, according to a March 2013 survey conducted by the Employee Benefit Retirement Institute. "Most Americans are not saving enough for a secure retirement, and an alarming number of Americans do not participate in any retirement savings program," said Ronald, O'Hanley, president of asset management and corporate services at Fidelity Investments. Only 45% of American workers have a pension or 401(k) plan, according to Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. Around one-third of U.S. retirees receive at least 90% of their retirement income from Social Security benefits. The average annual Social Security benefits for a recent U.S. retiree provides around a modest $15,000 a year. For stretching a fixed income, a rising number of those Social Security checks are going abroad to expatriates settled in retirement enclaves in Latin America and the Caribbean. "You can live almost anywhere in Latin America on $2,000 a month , but we see some people do it for a lot less on $600 or $700," Prescher said. "But, they're living a different type of lifestyle amongst the locals."

When You Set Your Mind To It, Nothing Is ImpossibleFall 2011
PH patient Denneys Niemandt (right) with his wife Sonja
My name is Denneys Niemandt, and I am a 52-year-old male from the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa. My journey with pulmonary hypertension began on a sunny Saturday in September 2006 when my wife, Sonja, and I went looking for a new family car. At the car dealership, I started feeling out of breath and experiencing tightness in my chest and pain in my right arm. I asked my wife twice why they were switching the lights on and off in the showroom, not realizing that I was having a blackout.
My wife took me to the N1 City Hospital where the doctors performed tests and my ECG showed abnormalities. They told my wife that I had had a heart attack and needed to see the cardiologist on duty. Fortunately, the cardiologist on duty was Dr. JP Smedema, who had experience dealing with PH in his home country, the Netherlands. PH is not well-known in South Africa and is often misdiagnosed.
Dr. Smedema did some intensive tests and told me that I had pulmonary hypertension and my right heart chamber was enlarged. At that stage, telling me I had PH meant as much to me as telling me I had a virus or minor illness. However, when he explained that PH is a very serious and terminal disease, it felt as if my world fell apart. My daughter was 15 years old and my son was 13, and I thought, "I will never see them become young, beautiful teenagers!"
I told Dr. Smedema that I had been in and out of the hospital over the last 20 years with pleuritis, pneumonia and cardiac arrhythmias. At one point, a specialist even told me it was all in my mind. This specialist told me to exercise more and to stop "thinking myself sick." At the age of 14, I was diagnosed with hereditary spherocytosis and a splenectomy was performed. Five years later, I had to have a cholecystectomy. Dr. Smedema wrote an article titled "Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension After Splenectomy for Hereditary Spherocytosis" in the Cardiovascular Journal of South Africa in which he concluded that my PH was brought on 32 years after my splenectomy. Apparently, microscopic emboli had formed in my lungs and that was the beginning of my PH.
That is how my life started at the age of 47 with PH hanging over my head. My wife and I Googled PH and, as you all know, it is only doom and gloom if you read about PH on the Internet. Luckily, Sonja works with the medical faculty of the University of Stellenbosch and she helped me do proper research about PH and make changes to my lifestyle. I also made contact with PH organizations in the United States and United Kingdom, where I connected with patients who had the same "dreaded disease."
It is not always easy for me, and the biggest challenge is that I used to be very active and now I get tired all the time. My youngest, Denneys, was 13 years old when I was diagnosed and is very active in sports. We used to play golf and ball games, but I had to explain to him that I could not do it anymore even if I wanted to, which frustrated me a lot. I got depressed thinking about my physical limitations and I had a difficult time controlling my emotions. The idea of taking so many medications was also overwhelming.
However, I eventually got more involved with other patients and with PHA and I decided there must be something positive to be gained from my disease. I am the current Chairman of PH South Africa (PHSA) and I am proud to say PHSA became a nonprofit organization in 2010.
My biggest dream for PH in South Africa is for it to become as well-known as it is overseas and to raise awareness of PH among the general public, medical professionals, the government and pharmaceutical companies. I also want to begin support groups in South Africa that can bring comfort and information to all PH patients. My message to other PH patients is to never ever give up, accept your condition and don't fight it. Be thankful for family; they sometimes suffer more than you!
Thanks - and remember - PHenomenal Hope!

A grandfather was an enigma to me as a young child. It wasn't a part of my vocabulary and certainly not a part of my life. While my kids today have three grandmothers and two grandfathers, I only had one grandparent due to some tragic circumstances in my parents' lives. My mother had lost both her mom and dad when she was only 8. They died of separate health issues within months of each other, leaving her in the custody of her sister who was 12 years older. There could be a book written about that heartbreaking story, rather than a blog. I'll deal with that on another day.
My father was 19 years old working in the kitchen at the Scranton Dry Goods when his father was killed in the mine. The story surrounding his death has always been hazy. There was talk about another miner to blame, not able to operate the equipment properly. It just wasn't something the family talked about. How hard it must have been for my grandmother, and my Dad, the oldest of 5 children who soon became the man of the family. I remember sitting with my beloved grandmother shortly before her death in 1980. We were having tea, and I broached the subject of the grandpa I didn't know. I didn't have the heart to ask her about his death, but she smiled and laughed as she talked about his life. When my grandma laughed, her cherub cheeks would turn bright red. That day when she turned her head, the light reflected the streak of tears on her face. How she must have loved and missed him.
In recent years, I have become much more curious about the grandparents I didn't know. Just the other day I thought of my Grandpa Kman, and how dangerous it was to work in the mines. I have often thought of searching through newspaper archives to read about what happened. All I had heard was that my dad felt compelled to talk to his Dad that morning, and that his father was nervous about working with a miner who he didn't feel was experienced enough.
Later that day the call came in that my grandfather was killed on the job.
Last week, someone out of the blue sent a link to Pa. anthracite coal records on the injuries and fatalities in the mines. I knew that my grandfather Stanley Kman had been killed in 1951, one of the last fatalities from Pa's scarred mining history. I searched and quickly found the curt details. Stanley Kman was a laborer in the mines, having worked there 21 years. He was an American citizen who struggled everyday in a dangerous job to raise his 5 kids. The details confirmed that the fault was laid at a miner. Here is the one line sentence included to describe the incident surrounding his tragic death:
fall roof shoveling coal face chamber
That's it. More than two decades of back breaking, dirty, dangerous work, gone in a flash, described in 6 words. 60 plus years later I thought something more should be said about him.
I'm pretty surprised to find the bulldog muscling it's way into the top 5 breeds of dogs, according to the American Kennel Club. When we got our bulldog, Prudence, back in the late 70's, I got a lot of flak from my friends. Prudie was a fully grown, sweet beauty when she arrived in our home. Of course we thought she was beautiful, but many people didn't. Sure, they're adorable as little pups, but the jutting jaw, bulging eyes and snoring wasn't attractive to all. The AKC now says the bulldog has moved to #5, displacing the Yorkie.
To be honest, I always felt bad for the bulldog. Our Prudence was in shape, but their barrel chests and small legs really take a toll on their bodies. It was quite an effort for her to hop up on the couch. Many a time I'd have to grab her from the butt and pull her up. Getting down could be as hard as getting up. She'd have an awful time breathing, and could be prone to hip problems. Then there is hygiene to contend with. Like Pavlov's bell, wherever I was in the house, if I heard her slurping at the water dish, I'd run to grab a towel to wipe her clean. If you didn't get there in time, there would be a trail of slobber.
Prudie was a great dog, but didn't live as long as we had hoped. A few years later we noticed a large lump on her shoulder. The vet confirmed our worst fear, it was cancer. We kept her as long as we could, for as long as she was comfortable. One morning I was home from school and the poor girl was not doing so well. I called my mom and we made the dreaded trip to end her pain. The average lifespan for a bulldog is about 6 1/2 years.
10 years ago the bulldog was around #20. Now they are? a rising breed. Because they don't require a lot of exercise, they are extremely popular with apartment dwellers, and are the most popular breed in the Big Apple.
Here's the AKC Top 10 list.

Amzer® Rubberized Black Snap On Crystal Hard Case for Samsung Epic 4G
- Price:
- $ 9.95
- Stock:
- Sold Out
- Quantity:
AMZER Product Review:
Overview: This Rubberized Snap-On Case by AMZER provides the toughness and durability of hard shell cases with a great feel and sleek design for your Samsung Epic 4G.
Durability: There isn't a whole lot here, and that's what keeps it tough. Each half of the case is very durable and can be bent without and signs of snapping or permanent damage, although bending isn't something they should experience much in normal use. In addition, the rubberized exterior is extremely resistant to scratches and dents. I rubbed both scissors and keys across the material and after wiping the exterior with my hand for a brief moment, what little mark there was had vanished.
Design/Functionality: The design is fairly simple; its two pieces of molded plastic, much like many of the hard shell and crystal snap on cases; but instead of being pure plastic it is coated with a sturdy material that gives it a rubber feel. This material not only increases the shock resistant nature of the underlying materials but also gives it a very unique feel in the hand. The material is quite slick normally, but normal perspiration on your hands during your Samsung Epic 4G usage makes it significantly easier to grip and keeps the Samsung Epic 4G from flying out of your hands.
The form factor is extremely small, and all in all it will only add a tad over three millimeters (1/8th of an inch) to the thickness of the Samsung Epic 4G, but is so light as almost not to be noticeable. In addition; the slim nature of the case doesn't hinders the use of the Samsung Epic 4G's keys, or ports. The cases are extremely well sized and fit perfectly, making sure that the Samsung Epic 4G still lives up to the original manufacturer's design.
The case stays on extremely well, but a little bit of correctly applied pressure and it comes right off. Meaning you don't have to pull out a pair of pliers, break a nail or break the case to get it off if you need to.
Conclusion: If you're looking for a snap-on case that not only feels great in the hand, but can let you just throw your Samsung Epic 4G into your pocket or purse, this is a great case by AMZER for you. Just combine it with a screen protector and you'll be good to go.
- The AMZER rubberized snap on case will give your Samsung Epic 4G a different life, savor or taste!

Migrating vultures have developed a habit of ripping off windshield wipers, sunroof seals, and other rubber and vinyl vehicle parts. Visitors to the park's Homestead and Flamingo entrances are loaned "anti-vulture kits" to protect their vehicles.
Park wildlife biologist Skip Snow tells The Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/WQkfgB) that the vultures are migrating as normal. It's just not clear why the birds are picking at parked cars and trucks. Park employees have tried to scare away the vultures, but nothing has worked.
Park Superintendent Dan Kimball says complaints about the vultures have declined since employees began distributing the tarps and bungee cords last year.

This is to get the ball rolling for the acquisition of a laser etcher/cutter for Bloominglabs.
Contents |
What could we do with it? (The sales pitch)
First, what are the realistic capabilities of a laser we could afford? Acrylic and many plastics along with several types of light weight wood can be cut and etched with most "hobby grade" laser machines. Any thickness of metal can NOT be cut, but metal can be etched without too much trouble. To see some ideas of what can be done, take a look at Thingiverse for "laser cut" projects.
I think any laser we acquire easily has the ability to pay for itself and also for future maintenance costs (see Laser Tubes below). Most spaces charge non-members 50 cents to $1 per minute of laser time.
- cutting paper, wood, and acrylic for rapid creation of physical parts
- etching text and images on paper, wood, acrylic, and metal (macbooks have prime blank real-estate on them)
- creating solder masks for surface mount pcb's
- add ideas here
We would have to vent any laser system to the outside, they generate LOTS of smoke while in operation. Despite any claims to the contrary, this is a MUST. Also all lasers require water cooling to keep the tube cool. Any laser purchased would require both air ventilation and a water pump system. If we can save money by sourcing those components separately thats cool, but we should assume we need these components the moment a laser arrives at the space.
Laser Tubes
Most lasers have a rated lifetime on the tube, this will be the main reoccurring expense beyond the cost of electricity to run it. Full Spectrum's 40W tubes are rated at 1500 hours and cost $300 to replace. Their 60W tube is rated for 3000 hours and is $600. Yes that may sound expensive, but the cost is $.0033 per minute of laser time on the 40W. For the 60W it goes down to $.00167 per minute of laser time. It should be trivial to make the machine pay for it's own maintenance costs.
What do we want?
So there are a few common sizes of lasers out there. The hobby models are usually based on a 30-40W CO2 laser tube. Some low-end commercial lasers are in the 60-90W range. LVL1 has a Full Spectrum 40W CO2 deluxe laser and really get a lot out of it. It appears Full Spectrum imports this particular model but makes larger lasers for commercial use in-country. Higher power lasers mean faster cutting time and the ability to cut thicker material faster.
dosman - I am leaning towards the Full Spectrum Deluxe 40W at $3K, please update the list with other options if you know of any
- $1900 - 40W CO2 Basic Hobby Laser from Full Spectrum - Basic 40W laser, only compatible with Mach3 and other CNC software (parallel port)
- $3000 - 40W CO2 Deluxe Hobby Laser from Full Spectrum - priced with USB port, beam combiner, air compressor, shipping, shipping insurance, no extra warranty - water pump extra?
- $4100 - New 40W CO2 Hobby Laser from Full Spectrum - Same as deluxe laser with removable bottom, integrated visible red laser, upgradable to 90W
- $6700 - 60W Professional Series CO2 20x12 from Full Spectrum - priced with basic water cooler, shipping, shipping insurance, and no extra warranty
- $8000 - 35W Epilog Zing - Epilog's lowest end laser
Why consider the Deluxe 40W and not the entry level 40W from Full Spectrum at $1900? The stock machine is parallel port driven and works only with Mach3 and other CNC software. The Deluxe model includes a USB adapter board which they refer to as the "400MHz USB RetinaEngrave USB Processor". This combined with their proprietary print driver allows engraving and cutting using any Windows software which can print. Yes it's Windows based, but it works pretty well and means anyone who wants to use the laser doesn't have to become a CAD master to get anything done. Literally just print to the laser and off it goes. Also it comes with additional parts which are needed to properly operate the laser (exhaust fan and a honey comb table). Lastly the beam combiner puts a visible red laser dot at the same position where actual cutting will begin, after using LVL1's I think this is a requirement too.
Since we are so close, I think we should get the New 40W CO2 hobby laser instead./JS
I think we can say our choice is for this laser:
- New 40W/45W CO2 Hobby Laser (5th gen: 20"x12"+Removable Floor)
- Free Beam Combiner
- Free Water pump
- Air Compressor (recommended) +$150.00
- Large exhaust fan (recommended) +$250.00
- Lowest cost shipping (4-6 weeks) $125
- Insurance (for shipping) $35
- Plus 10% needed to make up for School Factory's cut comes out to just under $4500.

Owners and Usage?
Bloominglabs will be the owner, donors receive a tax deduction. We are an awesome group and all play well together, I think we can craft usage guidelines as usage evolves.
- Jenett's comments
- I believe that people are going to donate this money to the space, and that the space will buy the laser cutter. This means that the space will own it and if we dissolve, we will have to donate the laser cutter to another 501(c)(3).
- Dosman - It might be nice if we have use of the laser be free for use for the first month or two to help get folks (non-members) hooked and possibly draw in potentially new members. Other thoughts?

Much like their human parents cats may need minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients to keep deficiency-related disorders at bay. One of the clear signs of deficiency is excessive shedding. While shedding some amount of hair is completely normal when it becomes excessive then it may be caused by improper nutrition. There are plenty of quality cat supplements such as Shed Pro and Shed-X that can reduce shedding and improve the quality of the coat. Similarly, some pets suffer from digestive problems and need cat probiotics to maintain a healthy bowel movement. Omega 3 and omega 6 supplements, on the other hand, are considered to be essentials as they come with a host of amazing health benefits.At PetCareRx, we have an extensive collection of quality supplements and vitamins for cats. Go ahead and use our filtering option to find supplements for a specific health problem. All the products featured on our site come from reputed manufacturers such as Novartis, Nordic Naturals, Vets Best, Homeo Pet, and many more. We recommend consulting a vet before buying any cat vitamins and supplements. A qualified veterinarian can not only list down the type of supplements suitable for your cat but also recommend specific products.

Protesters set fire on Friday to the offices of the Muslim Brotherhood, the party of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, a day after he assumed broad new powers not subject to appeal. Pro- and anti-Morsi rallies erupted in cities across Egypt. Protesters torched Muslim Brotherhood offices on Friday, state media said, as supporters and opponents of President Mohamed Morsi staged rival rallies across Egypt a day after he assumed sweeping powers.
The offices of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), the Muslim Brotherhood's political arm, were set ablaze in the canal cities of Ismailiya and Port Said, state television said.
An FJP official told AFP the party's office was also stormed in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, where clashes broke out between rival demonstrators.
In Cairo, an array of liberal and secular groups, including activists at the forefront of the protest movement that forced veteran strongman Hosni Mubarak from power early last year, planned to march on Tahrir Square, Cairo's iconic protest hub, to demonstrate against the "new pharaoh".
Morsi's backers led by the powerful Muslim Brotherhood gathered outside the presidential palace in north Cairo in a show of support for his decision to temporarily place his decisions above judicial oversight.
"The people support the president's decisions," the crowd chanted.
Morsi was mulling an address to the nation defending his decision later in the day, aides said.
On Thursday, the president undercut a hostile judiciary that had been considering whether to scrap an Islamist-dominated panel drawing up a new constitution, stripping judges of the right to rule on the case or to challenge his decrees.
The decision effectively places the president above judicial oversight until a new constitution is ratified.

How do you say "Reichstag Fire" in Arabic?
Guess old, rumpled Hillary will have to go protect that hero of Obama's "Arab Spring." Sounds like not everyone loves him as much as she and Obama do.
What could possibly go wrong with that?
Obama is taking notes!
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Yep! Don't think that Obama wouldn't LOVE to do the same.
When we start hearing about extreme-Islamist clerics being assassinated, that would be a sure indicator of serious discontent.
Arab Winter.
Why did they oust Mubarak again?
I believe the paperwork is done and the logistics are worked out. He's just waiting for the "right" time to spring this on us.
And then won't we have some fun.
Ah hah! The Arab winter...not to be confused with the Arab spring!
Thanks for the link.
Wow...US troops in Egypt. Unfriggin-believable.
obama is giving them yet another chance to kill American soldiers...and they will.
Gold spiking.
Yep. This sounds like a job for Lady Gaza and her little monsters...
Yea, and we have a whole lot of Freepers who consider Romney's defeat a victory. Good luck with the dictator-wannabe, Obama Pay attention, this radicalism is coming to US.
Not exactly.
The new boss is an anti-America, anti-non-Islamofascist dictator hell-bent on doing what he can to help destroy the Great Satan and the Little Satan.
The "old boss" was more like the Shah of Iran, a bit despotic, to be sure, but on the whole benign-to-somewhat-friendly to America and America's interests.
I'd agree that Obammie the Commie as the "new boss" is, in fact, somewhat similar to Jimmy "I Hate America" Carter, the "old boss."
My take precisely. Until we hear of decent minded people whacking the brainwashers, it's all just a show.
The murderous Kenyan blackmailer, Odingo, user of Barry's consulting services, is an even closer buddy than Morsi.
Let's get with the times. It's not spring OR winter... it's Arab Dictator Change.
Obama wrote Morsi's script and he's giving it a test run to see how it goes.
yep, obama's fault
If we had half a brain we would just let the mad muzzies/islamists do what they have always done: fight with one another.
Must be due to an obscure video on YouTube
re: "The decision effectively places the president above judicial oversight until a new constitution is ratified."
Obama's wet dream.
re: "the president undercut a hostile judiciary that had been considering whether to scrap an Islamist-dominated panel drawing up a new constitution, stripping judges of the right to rule on the case or to challenge his decrees."
Meet the New Boss - WORSE than the old boss!
What a kick to the Arab gut - I mean ya work hard burning crap down, rioting, raping American reporters, pillaging - ya get rid of the dictator and what happens? - the new guy is even worse than the old guy!
What to do? Work hard at burnin' crap down, rioting, rap. . . etc.
Check out the concept trailer for a proposed movie at :
Even the EU brought itself to make an immediate condemnation of the move. But our man Barry? I don't think we've heard from him or very likely will, since he presumably backs it.
It appears there are actual sane segments of the Egyptian population. Not that I expect them to become pro-Israel or immediately give up their hatred of Jews and the western world, but it is slightly encouraging to see mideast Muslims demonstrate against abject tyranny. I'd like to see all the Muslim Brotherhood members thrown in the Nile. Crocs gotta eat.
Yeah, they don't want to kill Jews, just use them as slaves.
Nice thought, but I like my idea of dumping the whole lot of them in a part of the Nile where crocs like to frolic. Hungry crocs.
well at least he reveals his new powers.. unlike obama and his latest directive.
Very interesting
Arab Spring is now Arab Winter.
Gads,I wonder how much money Obama is going to throw at this to kill anyone eliciting negatives on the Muslim B-hood rats.
"Clinton was sympathetic to this argument. Soon after, President Obama was on the phone to Netanyahu with an assurance that US troops would be in place in Sinai next week, after he had obtained President Morsis consent for them to go into immediate action against Iranian smuggling networks."
LOL Love it!
Here Obama has done similar things with executive orders, etc. and the media doesn't report it so no one hears of it. And we who do hear about Obama's communist dictator acts, all we do is post some comment on sites such as this on the Internet and then quickly move on to another topic. When will we all get together and protest on the streets, take the fight to the streets here in the U.S.A. against these communist thugs called democrats?
"Obama had much to do with installing the Muslim Brotherhood in power in Egypt and is, no doubt, watching approvingly as his creation blooms."
Sometimes I'm a little slow on the uptake, but now that I have read up on and understand what all of this ME meddling by 0bama and crew really means, I am TERRIFIED about what lies ahead for us!
That guy in the photo with the shoe is my hero....
Looks like we have some sane Egyptians who do not want to see their country become another Gaza or Lebanon and will fight to the death to kick out these murderous thugs. Good! Unfortunately for them Obama is not on their side. Sad.
Well, an encouragingly large number of Egyptians seem to be asking that very same question. There's not much point in overthrowing a dictatorship only to have it replaced by another one. The pro-democracy movement isnt beaten yet...
I suspect that this is part of a deal between 0bama/Hillary and Morsi. Morsi gets Humas to settle down so 0bama/Hillary can claim a great victory on the cease fire and in turn they give Morsi the green light to consolidate his power.
You're probably right.

Realistic wire wheels for 1/12 scale motorcycles One of the biggest challenges for a modeler who builds motorcycles in 1/12 scale, is to modify a wire wheel and make it look realistic; specially without having to buy an aftermarket kit. Anyway, there are no kits for this kind of modification (except for one of the Acu-stion for the Tamiya XV1600 kit), so it's not possible to get one. So any modeler attempting to do this task must rely in his/her ability in order, to get a good result.
Improving the Dragon Schwimmwagen - 1/6 scale #75013 Being a car fan, everything that has wheels attracts my attention, nevertheless, the Kubelwagen's amphibious sibling, went unnoticed by me for quite a long time. After building the 1/6 Dragon Kubel, I was pretty excited with the Schwimmwagen, and the quality of the kit and improvements Dragon introduced a couple of years after the Kubel release, really surprised me. This article aims at offering my view about this kit construction, adding some improvements I considered necessary so as to make a worthy scale model.

Advanced techniques: Building the P-51D Mustang "Lt Col John Myers" Petie 3rd Dragon 1/32 scale The infamous Dragon P-51D in 1/32. This model was started before Tamiya announced their kit, and I have to admit that during this build I did consider scrapping it more than once. In the end, I am very glad I did not. Despite the challenges and limitations of this kit, I am very happy (and proud) of the end result.

Building the Mini Cooper S Countryman, a guide for beginners Hasegawa #24121 - 1/24 scale The aim of this article is to give the reader a detailed and comprehensive guide. Here you'll have typical indications for the most experienced modelers but very useful for newcomers or for those about to take their first steps into scale model cars. In spite that this kit is simple, it's very important to follow the instructions to avoid unexpected surprises. In spite that modelers use to skip or change the order in the instruction steps, I'll build this kit as per instructions.

Building the T-34/100 from a T34/85 & scratch 1/35 scale The T-34 is one of the vehicles with longer operative life. Even, many are on service today in some third world countries, and until a few years ago, in Europe, they were seeing action in the former Yugoslavia. Among all the versions developed, this accomplished by the Egyptian, is the one that seems more attractive to me. In the '70s with the surplus of T-34 chassis, surpassed by more modern tanks, they decided to mount the Soviet 100mm BS-3 gun...
Building the M36B1 tank destroyer 1/16 scale R/C The M36B1 was a mix of the M36 Jackson turret with its 90mm cannon, that would be used later in the Pershing, and a M4A3 Sherman chassis. This vehicle was in response to Americans to be able to face in better conditions the big German tanks during WWII. It was not a tank in the strict meaning of the word since it served as tank killer, however, in the pictures of that period, they can be seen as infantry support tanks. This article aims at sharing with you my experience building a 1/16 M36B1 R/C.
Tamiya Caterhams, a step by step guide for novices 1/12 scale The first Catherham from Tamiya coming to my hands at the end of 1994, was the "Cycle Fender Special" (10202), since the "Super Seven BDR was out of stock, and it was impossible for me to get it from the stores I used to buy kits. From that moment on, my affair with which, I think is the best scale car kit ever produced, began. And here my comment: probably, you have seen better detailed kits, or even superb models limited editions.
Building the Kawasaki Z750 Police from Tamiya / Aoshima kits - 1/12 scale In 1976 Kawasaki launched the model Z750, a smaller sister to the Z900, adapted to the requirements of the Japanese market. To my knowledge, the Z900 was an improved copy of the Honda CB750Four and, as it was common to Japanese manufacturers, each new model included several versions in order to cover the requirements of the Japanese police. This model was inspired in a small picture from the '70 decades. the picture was showing a Z750 model, perhaps a 1978 version, for the police, with the color and characteristics of the Japanese Police.

Scratchbuilding the Nieuport 6H, 1/48 scale I decided to scratchbuild this plane after seeing the scale drawings by Mike Fletcher in his web site: The Nieuport Pages. I sent an E-mail to him and he kindly sent me pictures and larger resolution scale drawings. Once I enlarged the plans to 1/48, I noticed how big the plane was....
Building the KV-220 from scratch / Trumpeter kit 1/35 scale The aim of this article is to share with the reader the work accomplished some years ago to build a model of a Russian tank KV-220 of the WWII. The modeler psyche is at times, curious, being so many kits available, some day we say "this is the model I want to have!" either because we saw pictures or read something about it in a book, a message in a forum... etc. No matter how, the only way to have it, is to get down to work, and I did so.
Detailing and weathering the JSU-122 Dragon #6013 1/35 scale This note aims at showing the corrections made from scratch, as well as pointing out the necessary modifications to include the Eduard's improvement set to the kit. Also, I focused on the painting aspects to get a weathered effect.
Building the M4A1E8 Sherman IDF service RC 1:16 scale My liking for the Sherman started 25 years ago when I built the first version of the Tamiya M4 RC kit. In 2007, I decided to build all the versions, at least the available kits. At that moment I realized that to speak about the Sherman, you have to know a lot about it, and that is almost impossible to build all the versions. On the other hand, I found that I didn't feel comfortable building in 1/35 scale, so, I left the project aside. Anyway, I went on reading and learning about Shermans, mainly the Israeli versions, just to check the little I know and the great many variants that are nearly impossible to list.

Building rusted cars - VW 1966 - 1/24 scale It all started with a joke, I built a rusted Mustang GT 350 to make a gift to a friend who only builds Mustangs. It was at a modelers meeting when he received a homage and the joke consisted of letting him know the arduous remodeling and restoration work he would have with this rusted Mustang. I took advantage of my work and presented it in a contest that took place in Campinas city. Finally, the model was "best of the show" and they called me mad for giving a winning model. My answer was.... I will have to make another rusted model for me.
Building the Lindberg Curtiss JN-4D Jenny 1/48 scale The machine I decided to depict was a Curtiss JN-4D trainer based at Love Field, Texas during 1918. A picture of this plane can be found at the Profile Publications book about the Curtiss JN.
Building 1/12 F1 resin model kits: A step by step guide for novices This article aims at offering an illustrated guide, with pictures, explaining step by step the tasks that should be done, how to and the reasons, it's basically a visual guide, based on the construction of two MG models: the 2002 Ferrari and the 2003- GA.

Building the IDF M50 radio controled Sherman 1/16 scale Building the M50 in 1/16 scale is a project I have had in mind for many years, and after the M51s (from the article published in May 2012) I felt the need to continue with this one. In this article, I'll share with the reader my experience in building the M50 RC 1/16 from a Tamiya M4 -105mm with HVSS suspension.
Building an accurate M51 Isherman from the Tamiya RC kit 1/16 scale There were many versions of the Sherman, however, the last modification the Israelis made on them, is to my liking, the most showy and the one that converted a WWII tank into one of the 60 and 70 decades. I'll not extend in describing the history of the M51, there's a lot of information in books and internet, just enough to say that, as well as the M50, there were so many variants, that it's recommended to build one tank in particular if you look for historical accuracy. As is my custom….I didn't do so and just made generic versions that could have really existed. The aim of this article is to share with the reader the 250 hours of work to convert the erroneous Tamiya 1/16 RC kit into two acceptable M51. This is not an article for you to copy exactly what I did, but it may give you ideas of how to or get the basic things you need to build two versions of the M51.

Scratchbuilding the IDF Leyland Contractor - 1/35 scale I always liked the transport vehicles especially the IDF transport trucks. When I got the Leyland blueprint and knowing it was difficult that a manufacturer of plastic kits made a release, I thought it was time to build it from scratch. Though it's not easy to copy a scratchbuilt work, this article aims at sharing with readers the work accomplished, encouraging them to face the process of building a scale model "from scratch".
How to build a model There are a lot of plastic models manufacturers, whose instruction manuals are clear and well structured. However, there are others quite complicated in their sequential steps, making the building a real nightmare for the beginner. This happens even with the more experienced companies. From our personal point of view, the least explicit manuals are those by some American companies (AMT, ERTL, Revell and Lindbergh) because, in most cases, they don't even include a color guide. Some of the most prestigious companies have well illustrated manuals with an excellent information, although they have a certain difficulty in the building process, making the sequence difficult to follow.

Figures made out of different plastic materials based on TV sci-fi series, sci-fi movies (for instance GI Joe action figures) and facts from real life such as the representation of different war scenarios. Soldier figures are commonly made in 1/6 scale, they're represented with military uniforms made from genuine fabric and the weapons that real soldiers use to have, vehicles included.

Scratchbuilding military vehicles - Ford C11 ADF - 1/35 scale The art of starting a model or project from scratch, is almost literally, the art of building from the bottom up. This is really exciting. Often a desired model is unavailable in some scale or entirely non-existent. Sometimes the hobbyist may be dissatisfied with the accuracy or detail of kits that are available. Other times a hobbyist will opt to scratchbuild simply for the challenge, which gives us the opportunity to give free rein to our imagination to solve problems of construction and once finished to complete our collection with a singular piece. My intention through this article is to share with you several tips of the scratchbuilding world and the way I solve the difficulties I have to face, in this case building the Ford C11 ADF.
