Cocaine use, abuse and dependence is a public health problem that Is directly responsible for hundreds of billions of dollars in health care expenditures per year. Relapse rates to cocaine use are high, creating a pressing need to develop effective therapies for cocaine dependence. As such, this research is important for furthering understanding of cocaine dependence, and for developing effective new treatments. The purpose of this application is to lay the foundation for Dr. Jennifer G. Plebani, Ph.D., a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Center for Studies of Addiction (CSA), to become an independent investigator with expertise in pharmacotherapies for cocaine dependence, and a focus on human laboratory studies. The proposal builds on her existing knowledge of human behavioral laboratory studies for substance dependence, and limited clinical experience in substance dependence through a carefully structured training and research program involving didactic training, coursework, and experiential laboratory training. During the course of this award. Dr. Plebani will build on the postdoctoral mentorship she Is currently receiving from Dr. Helen Pettinati in treating cocaine dependence. She will be mentored by a team of investigators with experience in pharmacotherapies for cocaine (O'Brien and Kampman), human laboratory studies (Oslin), cocaine self-administration studies (Hart), studies of drug-derived reinforcement (Walsh), and statistical analysis and study design for within-subjects cross-over designs (Lynch). The proposed research and training will focus on investigating the determinants and consequences of cocaine dependence via measurement of physiological, behavioral and subjective effects of acute doses of cocaine in human volunteers in the laboratory, and through examination of the effects of pharmacotherapies on the above effects of cocaine. The two studies proposed will examine cocaine-derived reinforcement under week-long sub- chronic varenicline (Chantix") dosing, and under placebo conditions (Study 1), and under week-long sub-chronic Huperzine A dosing, and under placebo conditions (Study 2). Each study is a within- subjects crossover design. This KOI award will allow Dr. Plebani to establish the expertise required to secure ROI funding for future human behavioral pharmacology laboratory studies of cocaine dependence.
Cocaine use, abuse and dependence represent a public health problem that Is directly responsible for hundreds of billions of dollars in health care expenditures per year. As yet, no efficacious pharmacotherapies for cocaine dependence have been found. The goal of this project is to examine the potential efficacy of cholinergic medications in treating cocaine dependence.

Made a custom wheelie bar last night. I wanted something short and stout and not sticking way out. And I really didn't want to go drilling a bunch of holes in my nice new HCR TI skid. Something to just keep it from flipping over backwards. I got these little alum wheels on ebay. Banziabars wheelie bar from rcwheeliebars. 5.00 a pair.
Drilled out the alum wheels to 7mm and fit a couple 3x7x3mm flanged bearings in them with a few little spacers so you can tighten them good and still have the wheels spin free.
I used this bracket from an integy wheelie bar. Its pretty strong and hard and springy. And almost perfect for what I wanted.
A little round chunk of really dense 1/4" thick rubber in between makes a nice little cushion.
I took this simulated alum pc and plastic wheel that came with the integy bar and filed it. lol
Funny thing was the integy bracket I ended up using was not the wheelie bar I thought I bought and was going to just use a couple parts off of and screw it to skid plate. I guess this is the newer style, same part number. The pic on ebay showed the older style completely different. At first when I got I was like ahh man they sent me the wrong one. But it ended up working out sweet. and I didn't have to fill my nice new HCR skid full of holes.

Couple more things done. Made a servo link and some better body posts.
For the servo link I used a couple dubro monster ball links. Shortened them and redrilled the holes as deep as I could to get about 3/8" of thread on each side.
For the body posts I used the plastic/nylon post that came with the ue towers, some alum spacers, some orings and the rpm cross braces. I ground down the tops of the ue post holders about .020 for a little more of a flat for the oring to rest on. The rpm braces fit the post nice and tight and the recess on them fits the spacers.
I like these much better. They have the aluminum look with the flex of the nylon post.
And a couple pcs of rubber gas line to keep the skids from beating up the bumpers.
you do really nice work bro.. truck is looking amazing hopefully you have been having a lot of fun doing it so I can give you mine and you can build me a replica
I have done many builds of all types of Rc I am mainly into high end boats in price range 4k to 8k. The time and effort I have into them is just nuts. This is why I can honestly say I appreciate your build to the fulllest because I know what you got into it. Keep up the great work and thanks for the lesson.
Still waiting on some parts for this thing. So I figured I would throw another set of tires together for it. Ive had these laying around for a while now. Nitro gato 3.2 alum beadlock wheels and imex Dirt Dawg tires. This was a bit of a project all in itself. I had to widen out the groove in the wheels with a hand tool on my spin grnding head. then trim the bead on the tires to get them to go together, Gave them a quick polish to shine them up a bit. I also used some ofna molded foams #81101 that fit the wheels better. The stock ones that came with the dirt dawg tires were too big on the inside. They look pretty cool but there a little on the heavy side for my liking. 14.8 oz w/tire and 17mm hub. None the less they will be fun to try. The tires have a nice spot for 2 or 4 oring belts to keep them from ballooning.
Got some little servo plates to give the servo a good solid flat mount to the chassis with out having to file all the web support out of the mounting tabs. Then when I went to mount the servo I noticed the hole in the servo arm was split out the side.
After all my work modding it to fit. lol My monkey hands struck again. Must have tightened it too much. Oh well didn't like the flimsy plastic servo saver arms anyway. Think ill try one of those hr ones for now until the ue ones are back in stock.
Swapped out the rpm body post cross supports for some gh alum ones to keep the alum look going.
Well that's about it for now. This thing is taking me forever. lol Been real busy in my shop lately so ill be getting the propulsion system fot it soon. Ive pretty much decided on a new Tekin 1700kv RX8/Gen2 T8/Gen2 Truggy system. Geared properly and run it on 6s. That should make for a real beast.

I am usually not a fan of aluminum chassis builds but your attention to detail and amazing skill set have turned this into a very unique build! I am looking forward to seeing more pictures, keep up the good work!
P.S. The parts I bought from you have been working great!
Thanks Mate, Glad to hear those knuckles are working out good.
The tekin systems just look so cool, and that rx box is sweet.
With great brushless comes great responsibility.
thanks revo, Ya, I wasn't crazy about the new black and white colors on them as far as matching my build. But I just found that you can get a black case for the gen2 esc. Its on the way.
Got a couple ?,s on wiring this thing up.
After playing around trying to decide what would be a good way to mount and wire the motor and esc. I think ive decided on this configuration. Motor kind of upside down and esc sideways. This way A B C line right up with three short even length wires and the batt leads swing up and out to the sides the same. What do you think? I like the idea of being able to unplug the motor and I was going to use some 5.5mm bullet conectors that they recomend but the 12 awg wire kinda swims around inside them.
I see tekin uses smaller gauge wire than the castle for the motor leads? 12 awg instead of 10 awg like the mmm. Should I use the same 12 awg wire for the battery leads?
I also modified the bottom plate from an hr mmm esc mount heat sink that I never used. so the esc can easily be removed. Only complaint I have with this tekin system so far is you might think for 300.00 they could give you a paper template of the three mounting holes on the bottom of the case. Maybe include a mounting plate would be nice.
Also wasn't crazy about the white case, but I found you can buy a black rx8 gen2 case for 10.00 so of course I have one coming. (nice little marketing scheme) They could just sell them in black or white like a refridgerator. lol Maybe ill give the heatsink a little dusting of red paint while I have it apart. A Gen2 esc in disguise.
12 gauge wire is probably going to be fine provided it is of good quality. If the wire moves around inside the bullet plug just make sure you have good contact between the wire and one side of the plug. Think of it like soldering to a normal Traxxas connector or something, the entire wire does not contact the plug surface. The solder itself helps make the connection with all the strands in the wire provided it is properly tinned.
I'm jealous of that tekin system! One day I'll get one for one of my rigs. It would look pretty good if you had a 90 degree off of the esc board so the wires go straight to the tabs on the motor.
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
Thanks mate, I was thinking of just running them straight to the motor but this way gives you a little room for adjustment of the motor without kinda pulling on the wires and I can slide some shrink wrap over the top of the solder posts.
I swapped out the white case for a black rx8 gen2 one last night. Was going to paint the heatsink red but decided that might not be such a good idea. I will say if you ever want to change the case on one of these things. Get yourself a good quality correct size Phillips screwdriver for the tiny little screws that hold it together. I just barely managed to get it back together w/out stripping the screw heads. The tekin cases are kinda cheap imo. I think im going to rubber mount the mounting plate I made to the chassis. and use double sided tape and the three mounting holes and screws to hold the esc to the mounting plate.
Fired up the soldering iron and wired up the motor and esc. I decided to ditch the alum. plate screwed to the bottom of the esc in favor of this top mount rx8 mount from ***** rc. Wasn't real crazy about it at first but after sanding and rounding all the edges it doesn't look to bad. And a few things I like. (1) It allowed me to sandwitch and rubber mount it with a spacer on the screws so I could tighten it down good and not take up all the cushion. (2) Hides all the solder joints. (3) Has a nice little place to mount the switch. I drilled a couple holes in it to run the battery leads up and out to the sides.
Looks great And can I ask how much it weighs with all that aluminium?
Slugs are just naturally aspirated snails
Thanks joe, The way it sits with out batteries and tires it weighs 8 1/2 pounds. With (2) 3 cell hardcase batteries and 3.2 mashers and ti22 wheels it weighs 13 1/4 pounds. Add rx box and body and center bones to be complete and I would guess it will be right around 13 1/2 pounds. Not too bad considering all the alum.

Now the rx box. I couldn't make it easy and just mount it to the stock location. Oh no. Not me. lol I decided to break things up and mount it like this instead. Just looks better imo. I was almost able to use the exsisting servo mount hole on one side, but the the box was hanging over the edge of the chassis a tiny bit and of course I couldn't have that. So I drill and csink another hole in the box and used the other exsisting hole on one side and a hole through the block off plate on the other.
Now it doesn't hang over the edge, I can get to the servo post screws and by placing the rx in the box so I can get to the screw that goes into the chassis and also being able to get to the two screws in the other side of the block off plate. The whole assembly can be removed with out having to peel and pry the rx out of the box. I like it.
Another stunning Maxx.Your builds have made me order an flm chassi for Christmas.Mine wont be no where near as trick tho as I cant afford the bulks and arms and things but I have rpm arms and towers here already and have rpm bulks on the way.All the rest I still need to buy as I don't have a Maxx but with ebay chop shops I should be able to keep the price down.I am thinking of putting my flux 2350 motor and esc in it as the flux realy fly's on 4s and I would imagine my maxx will be lighter than my flux.
Thanks martin, Glad to hear ive inspired you to build a flm chassis maxx. I would say its the best bang for your buck as far as chassis go. My advice is to do your homework and shop around for the best deal on the rest of the parts. Try to get as many of them as you can from the same place and save on the shipping. I hate it when Ive ordered some parts from somewhere and then see that they had a couple other things I needed too.
Ive been busy the last couple nights wiring up the rx box. I shortened the servo wire by about 6" for a better fit. The spiral wrap I had on the esc wire didn't last much longer than it did on the batt leads. lol I replaced it with some expandable wire cover stuff that fit into the box better. I did use the smaller 1/8" spiral wrap on the antenna wire though, it fit perfect on there and much easier to work with. I also managed to stuff a glitchbuster right inside the box.
I ordered a little antenna mount that should allow me to run the wire in from the side instead of having it come out under the chassis.
A few little changes to the wiring. Got this little integy antenna mount. And I decided to use the monoblock.
Had to make a couple extensions for the tower braces.
The body was too short so I did this. lol Good enough to beat up.
I Need one of those custom wing mounts for the ue tower. Anybody have one to sell??
how clean, very nice !
Thanks usman, Now I need a longer body though.
Looks stunning mate.My FLM chassi turned up today but I am putting it away until Christmas.I am going to go for the 3.2 mashers aswell with Maximizer Beadlocks.I cant decide if I should go for 0 offset or 1/2 offset tho
Thanks Martin, I would go for the 1/2" offset. Wider, more stable, less roll overs. IMO anyway. I like the smaller 3.2 mashers too. They also have some nice grooves in them for some orings to combat ballooning.
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
Looks Killer, I don't think you will need a cap with an RX8 and a Hitec
Thanks maxx, Ya, Probably doesn't need the cap. I just figured I would see if it would fit in the box. Ill probably try it with out it first and see how it works.
That is one sick looking setup! Love the looks of all the aluminum
Wow, I am not even a Maxx fan but yours looks very good, I would have to agree on the longer body though! This thing looks like some sort of bomb removal machine! Kidding*
PM for info.....
looks a bit like http://www.rbinnovations.com/ICE_AMP...R_p/ia2000.htm , been thinking of getting one of these. tho this one is belt driven instead.
Yep, That's it. I just used the the top part of one of them from my other truck. My experience with the little belt driven blowers is the belts will hold up to 4s for about 10-12 runs before it starts to stretch and come off. They don't hold up to 6s at all. One run and belt is gone.
running 4s in my e-maxx atm was tired of shredding tires on 6s. but only 10-12 runs on 4s is still a bit of a disappointment when they want to charge you $5 for another belt.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles in today's marketplace.
The need to heat the interiors our vehicles came before our ability to cool them. The heater blower motor in your Hyundai Santa Fe is installed on the passenger's side of the firewall, and can be removed or installed by opening up your glove box or going in under the hood.

Right, that's it from me - thanks for your company and have a nice rest of night.
- Matches
Full-time everywhere, so:
What a miss! Corner down the right, Cavani flicks on at the near post, and there's Marquinhos at the back, screwing a header wide.
RED CARD GIROUD! RED CARD VERRATTI! Both are booked - Grioud put his hand in Verratti's face off the ball, Verratti went down and perhaps retaliated with a trip. Looked wholesome enough to me.
GOAL! BENFICA 1-1 BESIKTAS (TALISCA) What a goal this is, left-footed free-kick pasted home by a man on loan from one club to t'other.
GOAL! BAYERN MUNICH 5-0 FC ROSTOV (BERNAT) Bernat runs thirty yards with the ball, then shifts it wide for Ribery. He paints a delicate little cross back inside, and there's Bernat to sweep it home.
Into injury time in Paris, where Alexis Sanchez is clutching his back. That really would be the height of Arsenal.
GOAL! BARCELONA 7-0 CELTIC (SUAREZ) Iniesta slides a ball inside Gamboa for Messi, who immediately slides a cross in for Suarez, who immediately slides a finish into the far corner. This one is over, I'd say.
Gimenez is having a superb game for Atleti tonight, which probably explains why Arsene Wenger signed Mustafi instead.
Iwobi suddenly has a look at goal, left of centre and inside the box. He tries a low curler, but Areola shoves it away.
Cavani has missed again. Found by Pastore's through-ball, this time he did try to round Ospina, who did well to intercept.
GOAL! BASEL 1-1 LUDOGORETS (STEFFEN) A cross from the right flicks off a head, and Steffen does well to read the flight and guide a volley into the net,.
GOAL! PSG 1-1 ARSENAL (SANCHEZ) That's what happens when you miss your chances. Arsenal prompted and probed outside the box, then Ozil arced back a wonderful low cross for Iwobi. His low drive was parried, but Sanchez picked up the loose ball and panelled a finish that sets up a serious last ten minutes.
GOAL! BARCELONA 6-0 CELTIC (SUAREZ) This is run-of-the-mill brilliant. Neymar, on the left, eases infield and swings in a cross the near post. Suarez chests it down, volleys, and in it goes.
The games with lots of goals are winding down; the close ones are winding up.
Edinson Cavani hates finishing. Rabiot does superbly, carrying the ball past two men, before a succession of bobbles sends Cavani in on Ospina. With the keeper close to the ball, he ought to have gone round him, but instead bumped it into him.
Sydorchuk, who almost lobbed Pepe Reina from halfway in the first moments of the game, has now been sent-off for a second yellow - he dove for a penalty in useless fashion.
Lovely from Iwobi, exchanging passes with Sanchez and sashaying into the PSG box. But just as he's preparing to shoot, Marquinhos robs him with a perfectly timed slide tackle.
GOAL! BAYERN MUNICH 4-0 FC ROSTOV (KIMMICH) Bernat crosses from the left and Kimmich, starting in his preferred position in midfield, flashes a header into the far corner.
GOAL! BARCELONA 5-0 CELTIC (MESSI) The great man twinkles through midfield and finds Suarez on the right. He squares a low cross for Neyman, but Messi slides in ahead of him to complete his hat-trick.
WHAT A GOAL! BARCELONA 4-0 CELTIC (INIESTA) Neymar stretches down the left by-line and dinks a cross to the edge of the box, whereupon Iniesta punishes a volley into the roof of the net.
Napoli are playing beautifully in Kiev now, keeping the ball calmly before leaping into attacking action.
GOAL! BAYERN MUNICH 3-0 FC ROSTOV (KIMMICH) Lovely cross from Costa, low and hard from the left, and Kimmich is first to slide into it.
Shockingly, a single hoof has befuddled the entire Arsenal defence, sending Di Maria gambolling through the middle. But Monreal is in pursuit and finds the perfect balance to foul but not foul him to the ground and his shot dribbles wide.
Arsenal have found their passing game, and given PSG's record so far this season, it might not take much for them to reverse the flow of the game.
GOAL! BARCELONA 3-0 CELTIC (NEYMAR) Free-kick from the edge of the box, let of centre. It's not in the corner, it's not that hard and not that high, but De Vries can only palm it in.
Arsenal have roused themselves. Alexis is back on the left, after a spell in the middle, and amazingly, he is now playing properly.
MSN has got to be the worst acronym in football history; could only be usurped if Icardi, Cavani and Quaresma played together.
You've got to laugh - 2-0-up, Barcelona bring Rakitic off and Iniesta on.
Our players are almost upon us.
Oh, but before I go, Munich are now 2-0-up. Alaba swung in a cross from the left and Muller met it on the half-volley to turn it into the far corner. Expertise, that.
Right, half-time all over. See you presently.
GOAL! KIEV 1-2 NAPOLI (MILIC) Napoli have woken up, and after Callejon's header is headed off the line, Milic bobbles his in.
Guardado misses a penalty for Eindhoven! Gimenez is meant to have fouled Hendriz - he did not - and Oblak saves easily enough.
GOAL! BASEL 0-1 LUDOGORETS (CAFU) Well, who'd have picked that.
PSV 0-1 ATLETICO MADRID Saul is such a player. Atleti win a corner, Gimenez and Propper clash heads, and eventually the ball breaks to Saul, who karate kicks home.
Hummels attacks the ball following a corner and sees his powerful header saved while taking a boot to the coupon. He'll be reet.
GOAL! DYNAMO KIEV 1-1 NAPOLI (MILIC) Napoli's first decent attack, more or less, and a left-wing cross goes deep to the back post, where Milic heads home.
What a miss! Verratti, who has dominated midfield, slides a through ball for Cavani that's poked into his path by the sliding Monreal. He's onto it quickly too and runs across Ospina, then somehow screws his shot wide of the empty net and near post.
In the real world, Barcelona are still passing like you can't believe.
Atletico are having the better of an open game in Eindhoven, but it's goalless.
GOAL! BARCELONA 2-0 CELTIC (MESSI) What an expletive goal this is! Messi starts on the right, ambles to the left, plays a double one-two with Neymar who from in front of goal squares to him. Surrounded by about six defenders, he tucks into the empty net. Boy can play.
GOAL! BAYERN MUNICH 1-0 FC ROSTOV (LEWANDOWSKI, PEN) Someone was held at a corner, the ref pointed to the stop, and Lewandowski showed Dembele how it's done, ignoring the keeper to slam in the left side-netting, halfway up.
GOAL! KIEV 1-0 NAPOLI (GARMASH, 26) A deep cross was nodded back, and there was yerman to swivel, hook and finish.
DEMBELE MISSES! Oh dear. Ter Stegen did all manner of dancing on the line, and instead of pasting it past him, Dembele decided to take his time and pick his spot. Caught in the supermarket, he shovelled a tame effort centre-left, and it was saved easily.
PENALTY TO CELTIC! AFTER WONDERFUL BUILD-UP PLAY! Ter Stegen slid out, up-ended Dembele, and he'll take the kick himself.
I, for one, am shocked that Mustafi, a German not poached by Bayern Munich, isn't all that.
Only joking. And he does well to win a header following a Cazorla corner, finding Sanchez who forces Aurier to block.
Surprisingly, Kiev are giving Napoli a going-over; Yarmolenko has just curled a free-kick over the bar.
Messi swings over a vicious, spitting inswinging cross from the right - it really is a nasty piece of work - and, by strange coincidence, Luis Suarez is at the back post, sliding in. He misses by a tooth's breadth.
Celtic have settled into their 5-4-1-1 and are looking much more solid now. Until they concede again, obviously.
Angel di Maria is starting to motor. First, a delectable backheel sends Rabiot in - his shot is blocked by Koscielny - and then he finds more space, his cross-shot flapped away by Ospina. Arsenal are getting a serious chasing here.
GOAL! BENFICA 1-0 BESIKTAS (CERVI, 14) Salvio shoots low and hard from an acute angle, it's pushed out, and there's Cervi to bundle in.
Verratti jumps in on Coquelin and does well to escape with a yellow; Coquelin writhes like Klinsmann while Verratti argues that it's only his first yellow-card worthy challenge.
Barcelona nearly score again - they are going to donate Celtic such a kicking.
GOAL! BARCELONA 1-0 CELTIC (MESSI, 3) Well, that didn't take long, did it. Neymar plays Messi into the box on its left side and drills a riser into the far top corner.
GOAL! PSG 1-0 ARSENAL (CAVANI 2) Well, that didn't take long did it. Aurier blazed down the right, crossed to the near post, and there was Mustafi picking his nose while Cavani flashed home a header.

Regeneration of sprawling council estates is providing new housing options for first-time buyers and low-to-average earners.
A number of the capital's run-down big estates are getting a makeover or are being flattened to make way for stylish new housing with a mix of tenures - rent, shared ownership and private - which is a departure from the old public-sector model.
'The emphasis is on clusters of low-rise buildings and far more varied design'
In the UK, the concept of council housing has increasingly come to mean ghettos for poor people - unlike in, say, Singapore, where more than 80 per cent of the population live in homes provided by the government and benefit from state-subsidised mortgages, giving a wide social mix.
As always, architecture has a big part to play. High-rise estates from the Sixties and Seventies have been roundly condemned as a post-war housing aberration. Today, the emphasis is on clusters of low-rise buildings and far more varied design - houses with roof gardens, family flats and flexible "lifetime homes" that can be adapted to suit occupiers' changing needs.
Instead of bleak pedestrian subways, the computer images of soon-to-be transformed estates show open walkways and cycle paths connected to green space. Local employment is to be encouraged by on-site shops and eco-friendly commercial premises - linking in with David Cameron's Big Society agenda.
"We want outstanding architecture that raises the spirits of people who live there," says Paul Zara, director of architect Conran & Partners, which has helped masterplan the Green Man Lane Estate in Ealing.
This £136 million project involves bulldozing 464 homes and a multi-storey car park to make way for a new estate of 706 new homes. Housing association A2 Dominion will manage the first phase of 154 homes, due next year. To register, call 0800 783 2159.
Heygate Estate is part of the ambitious Elephant & Castle regeneration. Tenants have been moved out while 5,200 new homes are built across the 170-acre zone. Work has started on the first 610 flats, a partnership between Southwark council and five housing associations. Of these homes, 473 will be available for affordable rent, with the remainder for low-cost purchase and shared ownership. London & Quadrant is the main housing association. Visit lqgroup.org.uk, or call 0844 406 9000.
Packington Estate, close to Angel, in Islington, is bordered by gentrified Arlington Square and trendy warehouse buildings alongside Regent's Canal. Hyde Housing Association is remodelling the estate, which will have 300 new private homes around two new public squares. These will be released in March 2011.
Parmiter Street, in Bethnal Green, has apartments, duplexes and townhouses ranging from 891sq ft to 1,508sq ft available on a part-buy, part-rent basis. Prices start at £81,250 for the minimum 25 per cent shared-ownership stake. Homes are "open-market", meaning you do not have to be an existing council or housing association tenant to be eligible to buy, but the minimum income requirement is £27,234 a year. The homes have separate access to internal courtyards, playgrounds and sky gardens. Also, residents can rent rooftop allotments for growing food. Call Family Mosaic housing association on 020 7089 6340.
The redevelopment of Wornington Green Estate in North Kensington aims to end the north-south divide in the Royal Borough by reconnecting Portobello Road to Ladbroke Grove. The crumbling Seventies estate, which occupies a swathe of prime land cutting across these two roads, is being demolished and 900 new homes built. "It will no longer look like an estate but an integrated part of Kensington," says a council spokesperson.
As well as new homes, 20 new retail units on Portobello Road are being created. More than 300 of the new homes will be for private sale, with first-time buyers and local key workers having priority. Local estate agents say the run-down estate has blighted the area to the extent that prices are 40 per cent below those in neighbouring Notting Hill.
Queensbridge Quarter is the private sale component of the Holly Street estate regeneration in Hackney, once the heart of "murder mile" but now part of an improving patch close to the new Dalston Junction Tube station.
This RIBA award-winning scheme is a "fusion of European-style design and traditional East End housing". Unlike the Lego-like blocks of yesteryear, the scheme makes extensive use of solar energy and has distinctive projecting balconies and coloured-glass cladding. Properties currently for sale include 27 houses, a contemporary take on traditional terraces, with floor-to-ceiling windows at front and back.

I'm relatively new to this whole "pattern" thing. :teehee: I'm trying the Anthracite Shawl in Ponchos & Wraps, A Knitter's Dozen. Out of the gate I'm having some confusion. I have section A and B knitted, and I'm having trouble visualizing what the directions say for section B. Since it's not the whole pattern I don't think it's copyright infringement for me to post these three sections - if it's a problem pls let me know and I'll edit:
Section AInvisibly cast on 10st. Knit 20 rows (10 garter ridges). Do not turn work. Place marker on this square to mark RS of work.
Section BWith same end of needle, pick up and K10 sts along left side of section A. Knit 20 rows (10 ridges) over these 10 stitches.
Section CPick up and knit 10sts along the left edge of section B (got it), then place 10 sts from cast on edge of section A onto other needle end, removing waste yarn, then knit these 10 stitches. ([color=indigo]Well.. here's where I run into trouble. :shrug:[/color] Knit 20 rows over 20 sts.
Okay for those of you who understand by reading I'll explain the problem.
The problem is that when looking at the RS of the work, the left side of section B is opposite of the cast on row. Between them is another set of stitches on the other needle, too. If I knit into the left side of section B and then knit into the cast on row, this will twist the work.
For visual folks, here's a photo of the work thus far, and arrows and all that so you can hopefully see the problem I'm having. I have a hard time just 'trusting' a pattern when it doesnt' make sense because I really really really don't want to frog something I've put hours or days or months into, just because the pattern is messed up. I'd rather ask and ask as I'm going. LOL
Okay, I hope that makes sense. Any ideas? :wall:

Masquerade Dopants
this wiki
Masquerade Dopants
The Masquerade Dopants differ from other Dopants as they retain human form, wearing suits with masks that have a spine and rib cage design, resembling the bony design of the Dopant GaiaMemories and to an extension the Shocker Soldiers and all of their varients. Also unlike standard Dopants, they do not need a Living Connector to prevent negative side effects but they are much weaker and don't require a Maximum Drive to defeat; neither do they return to human form, for when defeated as they are literally destroyed.
Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate
During the events of W Forever, the Luna Dopant uses it's illusion powers to create the T2 Masquerade memories for the henchmen of NEVER to transform into the T2 Masquerade Dopants and are seen accompanying the Heat Dopant. In some cases, the Luna Dopant is shown to spawn Masquerades from nothing, complete with motorcycles.
Masquerade Dopant Yummy
Masquerade Dopant Yummy: Cell Medal recreations of the Masquerade Dopants appear as part of a Combatman Yummy army, the product of Shocker Combatman In Sendo's desire for like-minded allies to defeat the Kamen Riders, based on the grunts from past villainous groups who fought against Kamen Riders, whom Sendo refers to as the "past generation combatmen". They fight Kamen Rider OOO but are eventually all destroyed by Kamen Rider OOO Tajadol Combo's Magna Blaze Giga Scan.
Kamen Rider Wizard
Three Masquerade Dopants were among Amadum's monsters in the world within the Magic Stone. Along with a trio of Stardust Ninja Dustards, they were sent to capture a young boy and girl as well as the 13 Rider Rings they were carrying. However, they were countered when the boy summoned Double and Fourze, who fought the henchmen. They assumed HeatTrigger and Elek States temporarily, defeating the Masquerade Dopants before finishing off the Dustards in the city as Faiz and Kabuto destroyed a trio of Worms.
- The Masquerade Dopants' masks make them resemble the Shocker Combatmen to a degree.
- One of the Masquerade Memories users in Kamen Rider W: Begins Night was played by suit actor Jiro Okamoto.
- Foundation X is shown to have its own Masquerade Memories, which result in a variation of the Masquerade Dopant wearing the Foundation's white uniforms. Whether this is because of a modification to the Memory, or because it has no effect on the user's clothing, is unknown.

Sabrblade wrote:Let's see, Cybertron gets blown up in the year 2011 during The Headmasters cartoon. Sky Lynx and the other four Autobots (with Ratchet somehow not dead, Wheeljack already got an explanation for his being alive) arriving to find the planet destroyed, much to their horror. They find Sunstreaker and Ironhide (who's also somehow alive again) in bad shape, as well as the shambled remains of Vector Sigma, who upgrades Sky Lynx and the other four who came with him into their UW bodies.
Ten years later, 2021, Cybertron's back in business but attacked by the recently-created Grand Galvatron. Marissa Faireborn and her daughter Sue bear witness to this alongside UW Ironhide. Trailbreaker puts up some resistance with his force field, which, from the looks of it, manages to detach Grand Galvatron's arms from his torso. Wheeljack uses the "Immobilizer V2" to disable Ghost Starscream. And Hound uses his holograms to trick Zombie War Breakdown into thinking Curse Armada Thrust is Medic Knock Out.
Down below, in the Oracle chamber first seen in Beast Machines, Ratchet works on either the dead Convoy or a new body for him (can't tell which) in front of the Oracle, within which lies Vector Sigma in its new Bw Eggbot redeco body that would have come with the Million Publishing Alpha Trion redeco of the Generations Scourge toy had that gotten released. Wandering Roller bursts in aiming to destroy Convoy, but Sky Lynx subdues him. The rest of Grand Galvatron's components burst in and are met by Sky Lynx's team.
Grand Galvatron and Lynx Master are formed and duke it out in the chamber. Lynx Master uses Hound's hologram fist to make multiples of himself, but Grand Galvatron overcomes this trick and blasts the real Lynx Master. As the battered Lynx Master lies on the ground at Grand Galvatron's mercy, he uses his Ratchet foot to heal his injuries and bites back at Grand Galvatron.
Elsewhere, five Decepticons stand in the shadow, all appearing to be the Victorion molds minus Rust Dust. According to this, their leader, the one based on Pyra Magna's mold, muses the following of the situation to the others: "As the wife of the Lord of Destruction, this cannot be ignored."

CBR spoke with the creators involved in the five-issue unifying series, not only to find out how it came about, but also to learn what -- if any -- relationship it has to the film side of things, as well as what it is that will bring these various groups together.
CBR News: John, you've been involved on the editorial side of things for these books for a while. How did you feel about bringing the universes together?
John Barber: I'd always thought if I could go back in time, I'd make sure the IDW G.I. Joe comics took place in the same universe as the Transformers comics.
How did the decision to combine the contents of those boxes come about?
Barber: One day, the IDW editors were brainstorming ideas, and this notion of doing a crossover came about -- but I'm never totally sold on big crossovers that don't impact the subsequent status quo. Like, it's fun to cross over two properties and see how they interact, but I mean, if you're getting a lot of characters together, it has to have some impact on the world. Meanwhile, I think what Tom Scioli -- and me, a little -- did on the "Transformers vs. G.I. Joe" comic was great, really fun stuff. But that story was ending; Tom and I had it all planned to wrap up.
Then I remembered something Andrew Griffith, who draws "Transformers," suggested one time: the IDW G.I. Joe comics could fit in between big Transformers comics events. At the time, it wasn't anything we were really serious about, but now -- I started thinking about that. Did that actually kind of make sense?
This effort seems to reflect a similar plan for Hasbro's big screen adaptations. Do you have any communication with the people working on the films?
Barber: Hasbro Studios is very aware of what we're doing, and there's some back and forth sharing of information and ideas. I don't think there's been any big thing where we've seen things one way and they've seen things other ways. We've been remarkably in sync, I think it's fair to say. There've been some characters that have specifically come from the studio here and there -- some of these brands have been dormant for a while, and there are new angles they have on characters that they've shared with us, like Phenolo-Phi in "Micronauts." They have some amazingly talented people working in that writer's room -- like, seriously extraordinary people who have done amazing film, comics and television. The few I know personally are great human beings, too.
The funny thing with this was, it wasn't like a mandate came down and said, "Do this." Totally the opposite. IDW Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall and I flew out to Hasbro headquarters in Rhode Island to try to convince them to do this, because we really wanted to have this universe exist. And it turned out we were all on the same page. It was great, the people running the brands at Hasbro were all very into this and really supportive, and offered great ideas and angles on what we could do.
Fico, how is it for you bringing all these different characters who come from various backgrounds and realities together into one cohesive look?
Ossio: It sort of built up from my first take on G.I. Joe. David and John asked me to work on a cover/pinup of the characters and gave me license to give them an "upgrade."
I didn't want to really stray too far from the original cartoon, which I watched as a kid and loved. I had a bunch of G.I. Joe toy,s as well, so I wanted to just take those uniforms and give them more of a body armor look. Especially considering these guys were about to clash against 10-foot-tall robots. I could't grasp the concept of keeping them in regular army outfits or spandex -- sorry Snake Eyes. I think it works, because they still look true to their original design, but with a modern and updated look. Then, I took the new design of Action Man and applied the same as I did on G.I. Joe.
Next was Transformers. A lot of artists had worked on Transformers, and I found most of the designs Andrew Griffith had done were great. I respect his designs and pushed to make them more complex, with new, flexible parts and more of an organic look, which I thought would bring them closer to the combined universe. I also wanted to bring some of the elements from the movies. Except for Optimus. I couldn't help myself, and with him I pushed as far as the guys would let me.
As "Revolution" kicks off, what kind of threat or event is it that's big enough to bring all these different groups together? And what was the design process like developing that individual or force?
Story continues below
Barber: The background is, Optimus Prime has publicly declared Earth to be under his protection and part of Cybertron's Council of Worlds. This isn't Dark Optimus; he's doing good things -- at least from his point of view -- but the people of Earth are naturally going to be concerned about this turn of events.
Now, one of the reasons Earth has been important to the Transformers is this substance called Ore-13. This has a long history in the Transformers comics, but the short version is it can be converted to Energon, which is the Transformers' fuel source. That means the Earth is one of the few places in the galaxy where Transformers can live -- it has a food source, basically. But Ore-13 has always had other properties -- an ability to supercharge Cybertronians, for one.
Something starts happening to Ore-13 around the world, making it unstable, and all signs point to Optimus Prime, who has no idea why this is happening. That sets the stage for "Revolution."
How will your own ongoings look different after the events of "Revolution?"
Barber: Lots of the Transformers comic I write will be different, including the title. But at the same time, it's building the same story I started writing five years ago. You don't need to know all that stuff, but if you do, rest assured this is all part of the big story we've been telling. It's an unexpected benefit -- I mean, 2011 John had no inkling that Rom or Scarlett or Acroyear or Windblade or Action Man would be there, but this all fits into the tale Andrew Griffith and I set out to tell.
But coming out of "Revolution," there are some big changes. Lots of stuff is going to happen between now and November, when "Revolution" ends.

AdamPrime wrote:Hi guys and gals,
I'm the editor of Toy Meets World magazine. Recently we had the great honor of chatting with IDW writer supremo James Roberts. He's a proper gent, so I thought I'd treat you all to the full interview.
TMW issue #1 is undergoing a 'trial launch' right now, and is available at selected retailers in the south west. We're listening to feedback, and will tweak the mag slightly for the proper nationwide rollout in a few weeks' time. If anyone would like an issue, and there is plenty to read about (such as interviews with Simon Furman, Stan Bush and My Little Pony's Nicole Oliver; reviews of all the coolest toys and books; and tonnes of retro fun with TF, He-Man, Sega, Power Rangers and much more!) then please contact me and I can send one out in the post.
Anyway, on the the interview:
When did you decide that you wanted to be a writer? Was it always going to be in comics, or was that something you pursued later in your career?
I've always wanted to write fiction for a living, but not comics necessarily. And that's strange, I guess, because as a child I read comics to the exclusion of pretty much all else: Whizzer & Chips and Buster, then Marvel UK titles (including Transformers, of course), then 2000AD and what little Marvel US and DC stuff found its way to the Channel Islands. I was a member of an unofficial Transformers fan club – a group of pen pals, really – and even then, for most of the time at least, I contributed prose fiction rather than comic scripts. In my late teens I discovered authors like John Updike, Martin Amis, Graham Greene, George Orwell and Julian Barnes.
It's fair to say that the best TF writing has come from the Brits; previously, Simon Furman was considered the godfather of Transformers - were those big shoes to step into? Did he officially pass the torch?
Oh, I dunno – Nick Roche, John Barber and Mairghread Scott all write a mean TF story, and none of them are British. But thank you anyway! I was and am a huge Simon Furman fan – I'd hold him up alongside my more traditional literary heroes as being a formative influence – and I have him to thank for being a Transformers fan. More than the toys, more than the cartoon, more than the Marvel US material… if it wasn't for Simon's work on the British TF comic, we wouldn't be having this conversation. I got his autograph back in 1991, just after #75 of the American Transformers comic came out; he signed the comic for me. I got him to sign it again 10 years later, when I was promoting an unofficial TF novel I'd written; and 10 years after that, in 2011, I had him sign it a third time – and by then I was writing TF stories professionally, and he asked me (tongue in cheek, but still…) to sign something for him.
Simon's my TF dad, really. There was no "official" passing of the torch – I'm not sure how that would even work…! – but he did give me a copy of the script to the last Marvel US issue with a lovely note that essentially invited me to carry on what he started.
When you're writing a script, how do you keep to the page count for each issue? Do you supply the script that you feel is complete, and the artist squeezes it in to 20 pages?
No, it's more complicated – and time-consuming – than that. It's my job to break each issue down not only into pages, but panels. I have to work out the pacing and structure of each issue, how the story unfolds, how many panels I'll need to do a scene justice. It's a case of 'Page 1, Panel 1', then a description, for the artist, of what needs to go in the panel, and then the dialog that will go inside that panel. MTMTE is a dense comic – both in terms of plot and dialog – and a huge amount of my time is spent working out how best to tell the story over 20 pages. It's all planned down to the last detail.
Your stories are characterised by an incredible amount of world-building and backstory. You have also introduced concepts relating to Transformer anatomy and beliefs such as Rossum's trinity, the Guiding Hand and so on. Does Hasbro or IDW ever try and reign you in? Or are you allowed to add as much depth as you like to the characters and universe?
I'm encouraged to world-build – it's almost part of the job description. IDW, Hasbro and readers (I hope) want to see the Transformers Universe expanded and enriched. I'd only be reined in – and it hasn't really happened yet, touch wood – if I wanted to introduce a concept that was fundamentally at odds with what Hasbro felt Transformers was about, or if my editor thought, frankly, that it was a rubbish idea, or if anyone responsible for singing off my scripts feel that what I wanted to do was too… well, I was going to say "adult", but that's not what I mean. MTMTE has always operated on an adult level in terms of not talking down to its audience, and in terms of exploring mature themes.
MTMTE has an intriguing stance on politics, governments and social injustice. It makes for fascinating reading. Have you ever considered a place in Parliament?
I'm a political nerd and I do have strongly held beliefs about how society should be organized and how we could bring about a better quality of life for everybody. Maybe one day I'll take the plunge and put my money where my mouth is.
MTMTE threw out the concepts of 'goodies' and 'baddies'. The Autobots and Decepticons are revealed to just be people - whether it's Rodimus' crew, the Scavengers or Deathsaurus - under the badge they're all basically the same. We're dreading the day when the war starts again - will the peace (and MTMTE as a comic) last?
You're giving me too much credit. The decision to end the Autobot/Decepticon war was made by IDW's editorial team back in 2010, and John Barber and I had a year in which to prepare two ongoings – John's Robots in Disguise (now simply titled The Transformers) and MTMTE – which would explore postwar life in more detail. Neither John nor I knew how long the peace (and that's a relative concept; there's still lots of conflict in the Transformers Universe) would last. We didn't know whether fans would demand a return to war, or whether we'd find it difficult to set stories in peacetime for too long. But here we are, in Year Five of each of the ongoings, and the war is still officially over.
It's true that putting the war to bed has opened up a huge number of new storytelling avenues, most of them predicated on the idea that, once (overt) hostilities cease, and the red and purple badges are put to one side, you're forced to see each Autobot and Decepticon as a Cybertronian – as a character defined by something other than who they used to take orders from. As I say, it's opened up lots of new story possibilities. All that said, if the war started again – and it well might – that would mean MTMTE had to end. It would just create some interesting new tensions…
Have you petitioned Hasbro for a toy of Rung? We can imagine the packaging now - "Tranforms from ROBOT to ORNAMENT and back again!"
Ha! I've never petitioned Hasbro for anything. They do their thing and, from time to time, I learn that, for example, there's to be a Minimus Ambus figure, or that another of the Lost Light crew – Brainstorm, Whirl, Chromedome, whoever – is being re-released as a toy. I would LOVE Rung to have a toy, but I damaged the chances of that ever happening when I decided, early on, that he should turn into something which happened to have a very limited play value. You see the sacrifices I make for the greater storytelling good?
With MTMTE, you've taken a few obscure characters, and a few prominent characters, and really made them your own. Characters such as Rewind, Whirl and Ultra Magnus will never be the same. Did you set out to do this from the beginning? Did you think to yourself "Now's the time for Brainstorm to shine!!"
Kind of, I guess. I deliberately selected lesser-known G1 characters, but characters I was fond of, to accompany the Big Four (Rodimus, Magnus, Ratchet and Drift) that were at the center of MTMTE Season 1. Autobots like Tailgate, Skids, Swerve, Brainstorm, Chromedome and Rewind were attractive to me principally because they hadn't been explored in the past. They were recognizable (to more dedicated TF fans, admittedly), but they were almost blank canvasses. I knew that MTMTE – certainly in the early days – was all about secrets and hidden histories, and I couldn't tell those type of stories with A List characters who had appeared in IDW comics for the last few years, or with characters who had very well-established personalities. I'm immensely proud of the fact that, through MTMTE, these D-listers have become well-loved and well-recognised characters in their own right.
This may sound silly, but do you take voices into consideration when writing a character? Most people would claim to "hear" the voices in their head when they read. Do you ever give it much thought?
It's not a silly question and I do give it some thought, mainly because so many readers ask me "Who do you think X sounds like?" And I have to give a very dull – but truthful – response and say, "S/he has a British accent and sounds a bit like me." I have an imagination deficit in this regard, because I really don't 'hear' their literal voices. I do, of course, know their voices in terms of their character – what they would and wouldn't do, what they'd say, how they'd say it, the rhythms of their speech and so on, but I don't, say, write a line for Nautica and hear a certain actress's voice. But I know that many fans DO, and that's great!
Do you think that MTMTE, with its tales of space-faring derring do, has a wider appeal than regular Transformer comics? If something like Star Trek can have such universal appeal, there must be hope for Transformers. Could we see a TV version of MTMTE in the future, and would you want to be a part of it? Conversely, do you think its nature makes it LESS appealing to some Transformer fans?
MTMTE is an easy sell in terms of concept: a group of misfit Transformers head off into space in search of their mythical ancestors. It's a traditional quest story and, as you say, very much in the Star Trek tradition. That might give it a better chance with the casual reader – the non-Transformers fan - than other Transformers comics, but I don't know. Casual comic readers whose Transformers knowledge is informed by growing up in the 80s – people who think Transformers should be about Autobots versus Decepticons on Earth – may prefer something more in keeping with their childhood memories. I don't know. I think many people have a preconceived idea of what Transformers is about and sometimes that dissuades them from giving IDW's titles a chance; and unsurprisingly I wish more people would put such notions aside and pick up MTMTE or John's Transformers, because they'd be pleasantly surprised.
Can I see MTMTE transferring to TV? I don't know if I can see it happening, but I'd like it to. MTMTE almost reads as a TV show adapted for comics, with most of the stories being structured as if they were a 45-minute episode. And each story arc – the MTMTE fandom even calls them "seasons" – lasts about 22 issues.
If MTMTE ever transferred to the small screen I would love to be part of it. Even if I ended up hanging about making tea for the animators and actors.
TMW thanks Mr. Roberts very much for his time.
