Catalonia election tests Spanish unity
By Fiona Ortiz
BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) - Voters in Spain's Catalonia region go to the polls on Sunday and are likely to elect a pro-independence leader who will test Spanish unity at a time of deep economic crisis.
Opinion polls show two-thirds of voters in this region on the French border will cast ballots for parties, both rightist and leftist, that want Catalan independence from Spain.
Catalan President Artur Mas will likely win re-election since his conservative Convergence and Union party is forecast to take a majority, some 62 to 64 seats, in the 135-seat regional assembly, or Parliament.
Frustration over high unemployment and a deep recession have fueled a separatist resurgence in Catalonia, where polls show that for the first time more than half of the people want to break away from Spain.
Many Catalans believe their economy would be more prosperous on its own, complaining that a high portion of their taxes go to the central government in Madrid.
Mas, who adopted the independence cause in September after a massive street demonstration, campaigned on a promise to hold a referendum on secession.
If he carries through with the pledge, it will put him on a collision course with Madrid, where Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy will use the constitution to block a referendum.
"Catalonia has never faced elections this important," Mas said at a campaign rally this week. He told supporters he wanted to be the last president of Catalonia within Spain. Continued...

100 amp alternator question
I'm getting ready to install a 100 amp one wire in my truck, I've got the wiring figured out except for one part. Some people; including Jeg's recommend using a "maxi-fuse" for high output alternators (80-140 amp), but the fuse they sell only goes up to 50 amp.
Isn't a fuse rated at 50% of the output a little low. It seems that if I have the headlights, defroster and the radiator fans are going at the same time I'd end up playing FORD (Found On Road Dead).
I understand the use of fusible links, but have never really cared for the idea of having a wire burn in two. Can two 50 amp maxi-fuses be run in parallel?
No! You never want to run fuses in parallel. They will not be able to "sense" the current and blow properly. You will never get the conductivity identical and in high current applications the current will never balance 50/50. Temp or moisture differences between them will cause a spike in one fuse and blow and then the other fuse will blow since it will obviously be overloaded.
The fuse link is the only safe reliable way to go. It can withstand a short burst over it's rating, and only catches on fire if there is a dead short for quite a while. Docvette has a ton of posts about them if you do a quick search.
100 Amp Alternator Fuse
Dear Howard,
I had similar questions about fusing the system when i stepped my 40 Ford up to 140 Amp single wire unit.
The information I gathered was the fuse protected the system when the following occurred:
The electrical system draws its power directly from the alternator so that under normal operation the various circuits are protected by the fuses in line with their respective circuits.
The reason for the Maxi fuse is to protect the system when the battery is so deeply discharged that it begins to draw an exceptional amount of current to recharge itself. What happens is the alternator supplies the demand and being electriciyt it flows everywhere, which may in turn exceed the capability of the electrical panel. Unless fused many bad things start to happen. So definitely FUSE the system.
The folks at Painless did sell a 50 Amp MAXI, but recently changed it to a 70 Amp MAXI. I called on this issue and they said it did a better job than the original 50 Amp fuse.
At any rate the diagram I followed was to run an 8 gage wire from the battery side of the starter solenoid to one side of the Maxi Fuse. The other side received a new alternator wire (this new wire was run in addition to the alternator wire running directly to the fuse panel) which tied in with the system wire running from the fuse panel ( which used to run to the battery side of the solenoid) to the other post of the maxi fuse.
If you need a diagram visit Painless or Ron Francis website and down load a copy.
The result in my install was: the battery definitely recharges faster, the car starts better, and I am sleeping a whole lot better not worrying about my Hort Rod actualay becoming "hot" whwn I am driving it.
No matter what the fuse size please do it especially with these higher output alternators.
Good Luck,
Maxi Fuse
Yes, you CAN run two 50 amp maxi fuses in parallel (side by side NOT one after the other), but make sure you tie them together on both ends (parallel).
You don't want the output of one to go to a different place than the output of another. For example, if you had the output of one fuse going to the battery and the output of the other going to the fuse box, if the battery ever got low, that alternator will try to send 90 or more amps down that line to the battery through that one 50 amp fuse.
However, there are 100 Amp Maxi Fuses on E-bay along with some pretty cool distribution blocks. These are FOR stereos, but if you could keep one water tight, and lock down the setscrew, it should work nicely under the hood. I'm going to try it myself.
I know what you mean about fusible links. I have read pros and cons. To me, with maxi-fuses you fix the problem, change the fuse, and you're on your way. Unless you Mickey Mouse it, a fusible link will take considerable more work, assuming you even HAD a spare....and didn't get stranded in the middle of nowhere.
Keep in mind, Maxi-fuses at these high of amperage ratings are relatively new, so not all old reading material on the subject will apply.
100 Amp Alternator Fuse
Thanks guys.
I was looking through the McMaster web site and found fuses and holders w/covers that go way up the amperage chain (clean up past 100). I'll check out those sites you recommended and verify my plans.
I've gotr the same thing as mrfat.. and I like it. Got the 70 amp too. Painless has the best customer support. Give them a call they know their stuff.
High Amp Fuse Holder
There is an outfit called Blue Sea (www.bluesea.com) that has an array of heavy duty DC equipment for marine applications. Blue Sea p/n 5006 is a guarded maxifuse holder rated for 80 amps - it is a "pro" wiring part. Jegs 555-10520 is similar.
To carry the big amps away from a modern alternator - with no "problemo" forever - I have been using very flexible no. 6 welding cable with properly sized copper solder lugs. Check your local welding supply store for a chunk the right length for the job and you can get the right size solder lugs at Ace hardware. Use plenty of flux, solder and a propane torch to get the joint just right. Armor and insulate the joints with heavy duty heat shrink tubing from an industrial electrical supply. This "battery cable" goes from the alternator to the battery post of the starter solenoid. On most vehicles the voltage drop is virtually zero at this short distance.
From this same solenoid post - run a no. 8 lead to the maxifuse holder. This is where power gets transferred into your vehicle electrical system. Limit the fuse size to the amps required to operate the main vehicle fuse block with everything "on".
Here is another little tip. I was wiring up the battery which is behind the front seats so some distance from the starter and Maxi fuse. I found a set of 2 ga jumper cables at AutoZone for $42. These are 20 feet long. One black one red...perfect. After I got all done making the battery hook ups and grounds I still have enough cables for a good set of jumpers......However my cars always start haha.
I have a similar alternator wire as green... does.
Napa also has the larger fuse holders, both the "MIDI" and the "MEGA" fuse holders. Some of those go all the way to 300 amps
You can also get cable there, up to 0000, as well as welding cable up to 2/0
You might want to give "Parts Express" a try. Their website is good. I've dealt with them for marine electrical parts as well as amp kits and caps.
100 amps
This right here is why i love this site. I was going to post a question about almost the exact same thing. Here it is all ready answered.
I have a customer that called asking me about why his 50 amp betwwen the alt and battery was blowing. Up until that point i have never herd of a fuse between the bat and alt...
I do have a question, if i understand electricity correct. If he runs accessorys that pull more the 50 amps will it not blow the fuse????
I used one of these circuit breakers:
I used p/n 46987.
I ran a no. 4 welding cable from the alt (and also a no. 4 cable for the alt ground). The positive cable goes to the circuit breaker that goes to a junction point that feeds most of the vehicle through a maxi-fuse for the fuse panel feed, and 2 maxi-fuses for the headlights. I did follow Mad Electrical's advice and connected the starter solenoid stud (that feeds the battery) with 10 feet of 10 gauge wire with a fusible link. This was done to drop the voltage to the battery in case the alt tries to fast charge it. The battery cables are 1/0 welding cable.
So far so good.

Don't blow it!
It's not a perfect science since a fuse is basically the same thing as a fusible link, in that it's a smaller piece of wire encased in a package that's easy to replace. In theory, this section of smaller weaker "wire" inside fuse package, that will be the first place to open up and no longer allow current to flow if you go over the educated guess of the rating of the fuse.
If the circuit was designed right, with the total amount of current of all circuits taken into account when selecting the fuse rating, and a little cushion for variations, spikes, etc. then you should never blow the fuse ...if all goes as it should. So the fuse is a failsafe ...in case something goes wrong.
If the circuit's total current draw is very near the rating of the fuse, then you need to get a bigger fuse ....and then there's the wire diameter, as too small a wire for the current flow will cause problems, and possible fires.
What good would two fuses, in-line do?? One blows the other is just a fuse in a line with no power to it...am I missing something here?
If I was mountain climbing and spliced another ten feet of rope in, the rope broke, that extra rope would only provide me a few seconds of 'air climbing', he he.

I wish to apologize for my mistaken approach to the story of a plane that currently is missing and is somewhere in Asia or Russia or in Arizona. I failed to recognize underlying factors that really are in play. So, here is the real story:
Version I. A Sociological expedition from the planet Xul took possession and the entire plane is now in the hold of a space ship while Xulian scientists attempt to uncover the process of h9ow a human mind functions. Earth is the first planet containing supposed "intelligent" life which as rather bizarre explanations as to the process by which life develops and ideas regarding God are unusual. It is a process, not a being.
Version !!: Mossad agents kidnapped the plane as part of a joint operation with the CIA. Note the attempt to blame two Iranians for the disaster. Blame it on the Iranians is the new mantra.
Version III: Some teens were playing with their iPads when four adults were berserk and took over the plane and crashed it.
Version IV: Fox News was running out of crazy ideas about blaming Obama for disasters when they got the idea of creating their own disaster and blaming the wimp for not preventing the disaster.
Version V: Vladimir was feeling real high about Crimea which led him to think about taking over Malaysia. There was one Russian passenger which now allows Putin to send the Russian army to Malaysia in order to protect Russian citizens.

Employee Plans Compliance Unit (EPCU) - Completed Projects - Project with Summary Reports – Government Questionnaire Project
Government Questionnaire Project Summary
The Employee Plans Compliance Unit (EPCU) Government Questionnaire project was designed to help Employee Plans (EP) develop further tools and guidance to assist governmental plan sponsors. The goal of this phase of the project was to obtain information about plans sponsored by governmental entities, and then identify similarities, common answers, and trends based on answers to a questionnaire. Beginning in February 2009, compliance contact letters were sent to a sample of governmental plan sponsors for an initial preview of the questionnaire.
The Pilot Questionnaire for Governmental Plans Initiative (Form 14035) focused on obtaining basic information from governmental entities about the structure of their Internal Revenue Code (Code) section 401(a) retirement plan. The results are summarized below.
Response Results
Part 1 – Demographic Information
Each governmental entity provided a plan name, employer identification number (EIN), and confirmed they were a governmental entity. There was great variability on the categories of employees eligible to participate in the plan, with most entities excluding seasonal, part-time or temporary employees. All plans were defined benefit plans with some special plans limited to a specific population such as elected officials, police or fire fighters.
Part 2 – Plan Document Information
Some governmental entities indicated they either had or currently have applied for a determination letter under Cycle C. Over 1,500 governmental entities applied for determination letters under Cycle C. A few governmental entities responded that their plan was comprised of a single written document while the others indicated their plan documents were spread among statutes, rules, regulations, policies, procedures, and collective bargaining agreements; making it more difficult to keep track of the actual written plan.
Part 3 – Plan Provisions
Eligibility for membership in the plan was typically immediate upon hire, along with a vesting requirement. Eligibility for benefit commencement was achieved by reaching normal retirement age. No governmental entities that responded indicated they had amended the plan within the last five years to provide a special 'window' program. A few provided disability and lump sum options.
Most plans required mandatory employee contributions and some permitted additional voluntary contributions, although participants did not appear to take advantage of that opportunity. Many plans were Code Section 414(h) pick-ups and most entities indicated they did not make any additional contributions beyond the pick-up. Mostly all plans contained cost of living adjustments (COLAs) that were guaranteed. Some plans contained purchase of service provisions (Code section 414(n)), particularly for veterans. One important finding was that most governmental plans had some type of funding requirement, although different than the funding requirements contained in Code sections 412 and 430, which do not apply to governmental entities.
Part 4 – Plan Operation
These questions highlighted some typical differences between private employers and governmental entities. Some governmental entities indicated that their salary structure prohibited salaries greater than a certain dollar amount. Therefore, the issues of exceeding compensation or benefits limits under Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 were inapplicable. However, other entities indicated they had computer systems that tracked retirement ages or had consultants that monitored plan provisions. Many indicated that the IRS Model Notice on rollovers was included as part of their retirement package. All government entities indicated that they have a policy, procedure, or system in place to review their operations to ensure compliance with Code requirements, most with Board of Trustees oversight.
Another important finding was that over 75% of the governmental entities that responded indicated they were aware of the EP correction program (EPCRS), but 35% indicated they were not aware of the EPCRS website.
Part 5 - Plan Communications
Responses showed that governmental entities avail themselves of the same methods of communication with their employees that private employers use, such as websites, handbooks, newsletters, and meetings. No one single method stood out more than any other. Contact with employees occurred during similar event points as private employers, including status update, hire, termination, amendment, retirement, death and request for benefit calculations. All plans communicated with participants at hire and retirement, with almost 60% indicating annual communication with their participants. Communication was mostly with active participants covering relevant plan provisions and operations including eligibility, benefits, amendments, and financial reports.
Part 6 – Plan Administration
All governmental entities that responded said they used a Board of Trustees to govern the plan, with in-house administration. All entities used third party consultants/advisors particularly for investment of plan assets. Periodic compliance reviews and audits were conducted, mostly because of State mandates. All entities responded that they had a conflict of interest policy in place.
Part 7 – General Questions
Most governmental entities that responded said they were aware of the EP portion of the IRS website, www.irs.gov/Retirement-Plans. Some governmental entities wanted IRS to provide educational classes at their direct level rather than at the State level.
Part 8 – Retirement Systems
Some governmental employers responded that they did not know which other governmental employers participated in the retirement system.
Part 9 – Feedback
This section provided government entities with an opportunity to rate the time commitment for completing the questionnaire, as well as any additional information they wanted to provide. Great variability existed on the issue of self-rating burden, with the open ended question mainly used as a continuation space for previous answers.
Customer Education and Outreach
This project established that EP can be effective in assisting governmental entities with compliance through tools focused on identified issues and trends and that our services are wanted.

Fields out, Kusch in
THERE'S been an enforced change to the semi-final line-up for the Cage Warriors middleweight title tournament.
Both semi-finals take place at CWFC Fight Night 5 in Amman, Jordan on Thursday, April 12, but John Phillips will now face Pavel Kusch (pictured above, left), after Chris Fields (right) withdrew due to a back injury.
Fields (9-3-0) booked his place in the last four courtesy of a first-round KO of Jack Mason at CWFC 45 in London back in February, but the 28-year-old Dubliner is now out of contention for the vacant title.
"We're very disappointed for Chris that he's had to pull out. This was a fight everyone was looking forward to so it's an unfortunate situation," said Cage Warriors director Graham Boylan.
"But credit to Pavel Kusch for taking the opportunity at late notice. People saw what he's capable of at Cage Warriors 46 and I'm sure he'll provide a very tough challenge for John Phillips.
"We wish Chris Fields all the best in his recovery from injury but we're now looking forward to what I think will be a great fight in Jordan next week between Pavel and John."
Kusch (12-2-0), who fights out of Ukraine's renowned Combat Dobro gym, made a huge impression at CWFC 46 in Kiev in February when he defeated Alexander Starikov by a stunning omoplata after just 30 seconds of the first round.
The 23-year-old is a ProFC and M-1 veteran and has secured all 12 of his professional victories by submission.
Kusch or Phillips (14-4-0-1nc) will take on the winner of the first semi-final between Victor Cheng and Faycal Hucin in a middleweight title bout in London in July. Both semi-finals take place at the New Boxing Arena in Amman a week on Thursday.

international online community for dna barcoding professionals
Dear all, i did my Ph.D., work in earthworm molecular sequencing by using 658 bp of COI gene, so i keep the term DNA Barcoding in my thesis title. when my synopsis presentation some people were not satisfied and they were suggest me to reconsider the term DNA Barcoding, now my question is, can i use the term DNA Barcoding in my thesis title or not?
Views: 300
Hi Sathis,
I suspect those people were not satisfied because perhaps you have not worked on the region of COI that is 'officially' recognised as the DNA barcode. You have to amplify that particular region to be able to say that you are doing DNA barcoding 'sensus stricto'. However, if you are trying to achieve the same goal using a slightly different region or even another gene, you can still say you are doing DA barcoding but you need to mention that you are talking about DNA barcoding 'sensus lato' which means DNA barcoding in a more general sense. I work in earthworms as well and I have used COI but also other genes such as 16S, to delineate species and in all cases I have called that DNA barcoding sensus lato. You can refer to the paper below, it gives a definition of DNA barcoding sensus stricto and sensus lato. Whenever I talk to a DNA barcoding purist, I wave this paper as a reference.
(Valentini, A., Pompanon, F., & Taberlet, P. (2009). DNA barcoding for ecologists. Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 24(2), 110–117.)
Hope that helps.
Thank you sir, thanks for your valuable reply, actually I did 658 bp of sequence from COI gene in earthworm tissue, totally I attend sequencing in 4 genes (3 to 4 replicates in each species) from each five different earthworm species. namely COI, 16S RNA, 12S RNA and Cyt b, of them I got gene amplification only in COI and 12S RNA during PCR, I used universal primer for PCR amplification, all sequences were deposited in NCBI GenBank and all sequences were distance analysed by using the software MEGA 5. In my Ph.D. work i included sequencing of COI and 12S RNA. so only i used the term DNA Barcoding in my thesis title. (Valentini, A., Pompanon, F., & Taberlet, P. (2009). DNA barcoding for ecologists. Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 24(2), 110–117.) this article already with me sir, based on this and Huang et al 2007 I designed my research work.
sir one more request, almost I completed my Ph.D., here after I am searching Post Doctoral Fellow, so is there any possible to do my PDF programme under you or your friends please let me know sir.
once again thank you sir.
with regards
if you done barcode means sequencing submite for accession you will get no then you can keep the term.

700 r4 governor
Any tricks to change governor engagement on 700r4. I believe I need a little lighter springs to change my shifting points to a little later. It is shifting from 1st to 2nd at about 14 and I would like to to be around 22 or 23. I am at 27 from 2nd to 3rd and I would like it to be 38 to 40. Am I right to say the lighter the springs the later the shift. Would like to change it without buyng a whole kit but I may have to. Thanks
The governor on the 700R4 is very adjustable by changing springs or modifying the weights or both. It is virtually impossible for us to give you any recommendations. One thing you could do is get a Corvette governor to start. Be aware that some places sell governors as Corvette but they arent really Corvette.
What will the Corvette governor do? Do you think I would just be better off to buy the calibration kit and experiment with the springs and weights. I believe that is what it is going to take. Thanks
Od question. I know you can change springs or lighten up the small weilght, but what does the large weilght do. I think my 200 4r works on the same principal, but always wounder what it real funtion was.
I am new to this myself but I understand that changing to lighter weights/springs makes the transmission shift later which is what I want.
I am headed to the transmission to shop to see if they have any used governors. If they do and don't want to much for them I may buy a few and experiment a little.
Light affects WOT shift timing.
Standard & HP Gov comparison Pic >> http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/tran...n/governor.jpg
SS Monte Carlo & Olds 442/HO are similar to the GN/T-Type Gov, the Heavy weight is slightly larger tho'.
"lowriderr9" -- Changes to the Gov will have an effect on all gear shift points so, shimming the 1-2 shift spring in the Valvebody is an option. Valvebodies/Govs are calibrated for rear gear & tire size.
SSedan64 Does that mean, if i lighten up the large weight a LITTLE, it would down shift a little sooner. After reading all the dilfferent post, i must of gotten real lucky rebuilding my 200 4r or i spent more time at doing it right and working on the tv cable till it was right. I wouldn't mined if it down shifted a little sooner. If that works, i'm going to rebuild my second 200 4r governor the same way, for my spare tranny. Thanks for your help. :D
We need to separate the 200-4r governor stuff dwwl brought up.... from this thread on a 700r4 governor.
Each governor functions similar , but are very different in design. The discussion of both confuses lowriderr9 original question with 2 different discussions going on
Crosley's right.
"dwwl" I sent you a PM.
700 governers
the 2.8 s10 governer will shift later and have a 5800-6000 wot upshift
the 2.8 camaro and firebird will upshift about 5500-5800
Spend the 52 bucks on the B&M Governor Recallibration Kit.
You get all the parts AND instructions.

Backup Camera Mandate Part of National Debate

(Source: dieselpowermag.com)
NHTSA pushes for the mandate to save lives while opponents such as the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers reminds it of costs associated with implementing the rule
New regulations that require automakers to improve rear visibility in all new models by 2014 were proposed in December 2010, and now, the
backup camera rule
is part of the national debate about safety, federal regulations, and jobs.
The backup camera rule would require the installation of backup cameras in all new vehicles by 2014. It was proposed by President Barack Obama, and is a response to the Cameron Gulbransen Kids Transportation Act, which is a 2008 law named after a young boy who was accidentally ran over by his father's car.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about 292 people die from back-over accidents per year. By implementing the backup camera rule, half of those lives would be saved annually.
While the backup cameras could clearly be beneficial, the topic is up for debate because opponents say the requirement would be too costly and would result in job losses.
According to an August 30 letter the president sent to House Republican leaders, the backup camera mandate is in the top five list of the five most costly rules under consideration at this time.
The backup camera rule could cost as much as $2.7 billion, and would equate to about $18.5 million per life saved. Adding the cameras to vehicles would tack on an extra $58 to $203 per vehicle.
"Congress built flexibility into this law to balance safety and cost, and unfortunately NHTSA has ignored Congress by mandating an expensive, one-size-fits-all solution for rearview cameras," said Gloria Bergquist, spokeswoman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.
So far, individual automakers have not said anything negative about the rule despite these costs. In fact, Ford plans to have backup cameras in all Ford and Lincoln models by the end of this year.
The backup camera plan calls for 10 percent of the United States' new fleet to meet standards by 2012, 40 percent to meet the standards by 2013, and
all new vehicles to comply by 2014

Area 7 (original 2001; edition 2003)
by Matthew Reilly
Work details
Area 7 by Matthew Reilly (2001)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Once again i loved it! Its not "deep" meaningful writing so if thats what your looking for then this is not it but if you want high-octane action, shooting, stunts, fun etc then your in the right place! Shane is awesome! I would marry him just so he can swing me from his maghook while dropping 300ft through an elevator shaft!! Who wouldnt!! : ) lol
The book had parts that were very interesting and I have always been interested in the restricted military areas, aliens, spacecraft, - however, it was way too technical for me. I'm sure others will find it very enjoyable. It really didn't deserve 2 stars but there is nothing between "I like it" and "I hated it."
Another Scarecrow book, an action hero who can do no wrong other than being a little awkward with women he loves. The usual Reilly credulity straining action narrative which is easy to breeze through.
I thought "Ice Station" was great - this is even better. More action (if that's possible), a touch of romance between Scarecrow and Gant, a wonderful character called Mother, lots of thrills and suspense, and a race against time to save the President of the United States. What more could you ask for in a book? Absolutely devoured it!!
Area 7 is the second thriller in the Shane Schofield series. After the events of Ice Station, Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield, captain in the US Marine Corps, has been assigned to the relatively low key job of protecting the President while he's on the Marine One helicopter. When the President decides to visit a remote military base called Area 7, Schofield and his team, Elizabeth "Fox" Gant, Gena "Mother" Newman and Buck "Book II" Riley, accompany him. Once at the base, they discover that it has been taken over by a rogue General who they thought to be dead, Charles "Caesar" Russell. Not only has Caesar planted bombs in fourteen cities across America, he's made it so that the death of the president will detonate them.
He challenges the President to a contest. He tells the President that military personnel have paid the price for the blunders done by the civilian leadership. He informs him that a transmitter was surgically implanted near his heart. If his heartbeat stops, the nuclear arsenal will explode. If the President lives, the country lives. And if he dies, the country dies. The President has to survive in Area 7, which has been locked down with 50 traitorous special ops soldiers trying to murder him. Of course, the President will have Schofield and his small group of soldiers to help him.
This is a book that meets every expectation of the action-adventure genre. There is page after page of non-stop action and once things kick off, the reader is breathless until the very end. This is a pure adrenaline, action novel that is the equivalent of an action blockbuster movie starring whoever your favorite action hero is. We get a gang of insane criminals who have been used as guinea-pigs, and even vicious Komodo dragons. The chase continues over land, under water and even goes into space, yes space! This book is definitely not for someone looking for a realistic fiction story but wow! You can't get a better action series than this one.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312983220, Mass Market Paperback)
Matthew Reilly dazzled the world with his electrifying thrillers Ice Station and Temple. And now, Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield returns with his most harrowing and explosive adventure yet. . .
It is America's most secret base, hidden deep in the Utah desert, an Air Force installation known only as Area 7. And today, it has a visitor - the President of the United States. He has come to inspect Area 7, to examine its secrets for himself. But he's going to get more than he bargained for on this trip. Because hostile forces are waiting inside.
Among the President's helicopter crew, however, is a young Marine. He is quiet, enigmatic, and he hides his eyes behind a pair of silver sunglasses. His name is Schofield. Call-sign: Scarecrow. Rumor has it, he's a good man in a storm. Judging by what the President has just walked into, he'd better be. . .

Lt. Shane Schofield, a presidential guard on a military helicopter, accompanies the president to the super-secret Area 7, where rogue Air Force commander Caesar Russell waits to unleash his diabolical scheme to take over the country.

Silver Bells
"City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style.
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, People passing
Meeting smile after smile"
("Silver Bells" by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, 1950)
In retrospect it seems strange that my father, a deeply devout man, thought "Silver Bells" (a purely secular song) his favorite Christmas tune. This may reflect his love for living in the city more than anything else.
One of the best things about Christmas surely is the music. Much of what we Americans think of as "Christmas" comes from music associated with the day. How would we know about Rudolph, or Santa seeing us while we sleep, or many other such traditions without some songwriter informing us? In fact we wouldn't know it was "merry" and not "happy" if some 19th century Englishmen had not stopped to "wish ye a merry Christmas."
The airwaves are full of the wide variety of music of Christmas. We are beginning to hear it on radio, and the TV specials have already begun in earnest. And, I do look forward to the various Christmas specials aired on PBS. Given the status of our society most of these performances will be Santa oriented rather than birth of Jesus emphasized, but I will play it all until it drives Kay crazy.
Although not as devout as my father, my own tendency is to prefer "sacred" above the secular approach to Christmas music. This, as with most all Christmas traditions, has its roots in childhood. We children of the 50's associate with the day with carols learned for grade school Christmas programs presented for our parents "enjoyment" right before the Christmas break. One wonders if "the holidays" have any carols, the "winter break" any tradition, or our children any imbedded Christmas memories?
Did something of an inventory on our home collection of Christmas CDs. We have a total of twelve, four of which came free from some advertiser or another. The CDs include a total of nearly 160 renditions by ten different artist and two vocal groups, with some orchestra pieces and one Mannheim Steamroller CD. Can I call that "eclectic?"
My personal all-time favorite Christmas carol is "O Holy Night." To me this is the great, majestic annunciation of the birth of Christ. It's a man's song that takes a strength few women in the popular genre can bring to it. Unfortunately few men sing, and fewer sing great. Included in our library are eight interpretations of Holy Night, the best we have being by Il Divo. Duty compels me to here restate my well-established total lack of musical acumen.
Of the 160 renditions available there are actually only 77 different songs, something less than half. They tell me I could put these 77 on some sort of electrical device -- "a 10 year old kid could do it." This would allow me to have something continuously playing all the way to next Christmas. Unfortunately I neither know myself how to so combine the 77 nor have any 10-year-olds around. If I can find a way to incorporate them this way, "Silver Bells" is on the list.

Hot Neutral
I'm putting some flooring in my attic, and had to move a couple of wires that were run over joists. That required rewiring a junction box with a light underneath it.
I also wanted to tap into the box for power to an attic light I'm installing, so I added an extender to enlarge the junction box (it was already pretty tight in there).
Power goes light-switch-switch. There are a couple of other lights that get power from this fixture (they are on their own switches).
When I opened up the box, I took note of the existing wiring (to put it back together). Since it's fixture-switch-switch, the wire coming from the switch is 14/2. However, the black wire from the switch was joined to the fixture's black wire.
From everything I've read, this should have been the white wire connecting to the fixture's black , and the black lead from the switch should have tied directly into all the other blacks.
I switched it over, and put tape around the white to indicate (per what I've read about wiring 3-way switches).
The light works, as it did before. Did I have a hot neutral?

Since I saw a lot of views (and no responses), I figured I would follow up on this.
I asked the question in an electrical forum, and got several responses. Even some of the mods gave incorrect responses at first, but the eventual consensus was that No, I did not have a hot neutral, and the fixture was wired correctly.
Specifically, when wiring a 3-way switch where the power goes to the light first, the white and black wires coming from the switch are interchangeable. Both are hot, and either can be connected to the black power source, or black from the fixture. Just make sure to tape the white black to indicate it's no longer a neutral.

Odds are you need a new window seal anyway if you have the old one.
Buy a good spot weld drill, the mill kind not the circle cutter kind. Spend a day drilling spot welds and then build up the new inner parts. The cowl practically self locates, but just be sure by drilling a few holes for screws before you take it apart.
I did it on my fastback. I scared to pull it off not having a clue what I was doing at the time. Turns out to be pretty easy to do. I even made up all the inner cowl stuff from scratch. In the end you will be glad you did.
There is one other fix, but it will only work on minor cowl problems. Some have cut open just the end where it is hidden by the fender.
Any other cutting and welding back on would be more risk and work than just doing the spot welds. Too much chance to damage or warp the top of the cowl.
Just keep in mind you are about to spend some significant $$$ trying to make a classy car. Fixing the cowl vent is very cheap, mostly just your labor. I did mine for the cost of two bits on circular spot cutter plus the cost of the mig welding. The metal was picked from the trash, a microwave oven.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I don't think you understood my question though.
My car has NO cowl right now neither inner or outer, they have both been removed as well as the complete firewall and floorpan. It is receiving the inner cowl from a 2001 Mustang and will be topped with the originalouter cowl I removed. Upon reassembly of this project I wish to make the outer cowl removeable for servicing the relocated wiper assy that this conversion requires.
Thanks again, and Happy New Year.

Northstar Engines and System Technical Discussion Discussion, Update on engine project... in Cadillac Engine Discussion; Well, last weekend I bought an engine stand... it was on sale too, came to $30 after tax, nothing speical, ...
Update on engine project...
Well, last weekend I bought an engine stand... it was on sale too, came to $30 after tax, nothing speical, 750lbs, I had to put it together etc... but it'll be fine for the job...
I then brought the '79 in the back yard and pulled up to the basement door... damn NorthStar block is heavy... so I brought back a childhood toy to live a second life... my little red wagon (that I painted blue)... brought back memories
I brought the cams in a while back, as with the condensation in the car, and the fact i had them aorund rags, they were literally sitting in water... I was pissed... I did a rather quick job of cleaning the rust off with a rag, which worked good... but there are still some heavy spots... that and some light surface rust on the end of the crankshaft... then some very light dust type rust within the cylinders in a few parts... most this should come off just with a rag, but my friend said I could use WD40 and some vry light sandpaper (800 grit or so) to get some of the more heavy areas on the cams off... what is the best process?
Perhaps my next step, which is holding me up from further doing anything.... My block is not on a hoist... What is the best way to get the engine on the stand? I will need to buy 4 bolts to mount the block to the stand... any preference? Also, what is the best way to get the engine level enough to get on the stand? only thing I could think of is have someone help me lift it, while a person puts the bolts thru the arms on the stand, and into the block...
Some recent pics, Hows that for power to weight ratio? might have some trouble starting though
Re: Update on engine project...
Take the fixture with the four mounting arms out of the engine stand. Bolt it to the black at the bellhousing bolt holes. Much easier to do with the fixutre loose and attaching it to the engine in the wagon. THEN lift the block and just stick the pivot of the fixture into the engine stand. Much less of a chance of crossthreading bolt holes and such like that...and you only have to align one thing to get the fixture onto the stand.
Re: Update on engine project...
you know, out of all the things I was thinking of... that did not cross my mind at all?!?
Heh, that makes perfect sense though Thank you for mentioning that.
Are there any special bolts I should use for the bell housing on the NorthStar? or it dosn't relaly matter? if not I can just go to the hardware store and pick 4 of them up... what size do I need?
Also, kind of OT, but I need to get a factory service manual for the NorthStar... can I get, say a 1994 Eldorado ETC service manual... that would list everything about the enigne as well... or is there an actual manual for the N* I should get... if not, I can start looking on ebay for a cheap used FSM...
Thanks again
Re: Update on engine project...
Well...the bolts are metric so start there. You have to measure the length of your standoffs on the engine stand so the bolts are long enough. Allow for plenty of thread engagement so the bolts can sink into the bolt holes securely. If there is any question , buy longer than you think and get a large stack of washers to shim the bolts to the correct length by putting the washers under the bolt heads to get the bolt length correct.
BE CAREFUL. If you have never done this before be aware that a cheapy engine stand like that can be VERY TIPPY. It will HURT if it lands on your foot. Rotating the engine part way can put the center of gravity so far to one side that the engine can just tip over. BE CAREFUL with it on the stand. Nothing wrong with a stand like that..you just have to acknowlege it's shortcomings and realize it and work accordingly.
Remember to watch the stand when you start torqueing main and head bolts and such....that, too, can pull the stand over and cause it to tip.
It is always best to have some help when you want to move or rotate the engine on the stand to avoid tipping it and to catch it if it does tip.
Re: Update on engine project...
I would try to get a service manual for the year of the engine that you have. The service manual for an STS or ELDO should have the Northstar engine section with it that includes all the details you need.
Re: Update on engine project...
that is true about the tipping... on the enignes that I have helped m father with, he has a more expensive engine stand, and tipping was never an issue with that... but it is defintily something I'll keep in mind..
What is the diameter of the threads on the block?
Also, maybe you could help me.. I havn't been able to get an exact year.. or any info of my enigne yet... IIRC someone said it was a '93/'94... the engine code is 6P4125103... and it is an L37

Have I missed something? (parking sensors)
Is it really true that I need to activate the parking sensors MANUALLY every time I'm parking or driving it to my garage?
When I'm in reverse the function automatically activates but what about when driving forward and then parking?
In all my other cars the front sensors are activated when driving at a certain slow speed.
Mercedes among others have managed this task to perfection but BMW just have to make it complicated.
It's not that I can't park without but when driving in to my garage it's just nice to have it activated and event though it's just a push of a button it's killing me :mad:
Along the lines of the S80 v BMW this is the second case of something working exactly backwards. On the S80 the parking break is push to activate and pull to release of course it is the other way around on the GT. (Which makes sense as you wouldn't want to lean over and activate it while you were moving!)
Mr Olsen, I know it's a little hard to judge with the GT, so I take a sighting in order to determine how far to pull into the garage. I constantly think I'm going to run over a set of bikes stacked against the far wall of the garage, but then when I get out of the car, I see I'm 3 feet away from hitting them. I still haven't practiced with rubber garbage pails to get a feel for the edges of the car, but it's on the to-do list. Especially because I don't want my MSport front grill to scrape a curb stop!
I really don't know how the front parking sensors work on a Volvo but if any of you have ever owned a Porsche or a Mercedes you will know how great their systems work.
They are activated all the time but are made in a way where the sound only activates when you are getting within a certain distance of an object.
Funny enough this distance is just slightly closer than your normal distance to the car in front of you at a junction or similar.
Of cause I'll live with the way BMW have done it but it's just a pain to push the button every time now that I know it can be done better differently.
50% of all parking is initiated in reverse, if parking sensors engaged every time you went slow in drive...bumper to bumper traffic would be really frustrating....
I'll take needing to move my hand 2" to hit the very conveniently located parking button over needing to hit it thousands of times in traffic when i don't want it on.....

Covering Existing Patio
Hi All,
I have an existing concrete patio (plain slab), that had been painted at one point, but it is really in need of some modernization!
Wondering what the best cost-effective options are for giving the patio new life?
Stones? Tile? Pouring concrete over the existing concrete (love the stamped concrete look)?
It's fairly large in size (nearly 1000 square feet). I was hoping to be in the $2,000 range, but that may simply not be feasible.
Would love to hear recommendations!
Cant stick tile on a painted surface. Maybe lay pavers or bust it all out and start over.
look on elitecrete.com OR concretenetwork.com,,, for $ 2 K, you can buy enough GOOD mtl to overlay,,, not stamped, tho
elitecrete.com may be exactly the thing I am looking for!
Thank you so much!
there's plenty of other guys, too,,, its just that ec has the best distributor training & individual experienced support of all,,, they don't read the answers out of a book,,, they ALL have dirty hands/worn knees resumes - bar NONE,,, naturally the products are compatible across the whole product line, too < no financial interest but i am a retired licensed eliteCreter >

8-Southern Pemba/Tanzania

View Tanzania 2009 on Sharon E's travel map.
"Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get."
--Forrest Gump
August 27, 2009
Depart:............Sanctuary Swala
Arrive:..............Fundu Lagoon
I know what you are thinking...when is this trip ever going to end and will she ever shut up? It has been quite a journey but it is almost over and I am really sad. However, I don't think I've ever been so inactive in my life. From day to day, we sat in a car and just watched animals. More exciting than the National Geographic Channel but strangely just as sedentary. So I am very eager to head back to the islands. Being in a national park definitely takes away from the experience of the true African culture. We are certainly glad we visited the Masai boma to give us a taste of their life. But on the islands, you are among people who live there day to day and you see what their normal, daily routine is without having to take a tour. Pemba is a remote island in the archipelago of Zanzibar. There are only two major lodges and we will be staying at both. There is a little trepidation about the places we are staying at (the first place is a luxury tent that cost an arm and a leg and I read so-so reviews on tripadvisor, and I know that the last place won't be nice just because it was 1/3 the cost of Fundu) but really, we have no choice. The island mostly attracts divers.
There is some confusion on flights and we keep getting delayed but we finally make it to Pemba via Zanzibar, just one hour late. The flight over the islands is beautiful. Here's the eastern coastline of Zanzibar:
Here's the western coastline of Zanzibar where you can see the reefline.
Pemba is very lush with wild beaches.
As we walked from the plane to the terminal, I stopped dead in my tracks and screamed, "What in the world is that?" The woman behind me laughed and said, "that's just a millipede, you've never seen one before? They are all over the island." Uh, that would be no. It is big, fat and creepy. Oh no...I thought spiders were scary.
It is now Ramadan so we will be experiencing people who observe this ritual. We are picked up by the hotel van and our driver, dressed head to toe in Muslim garb, starts to give us a tour of the island as we make our way over to Fundu Lagoon. He explains the different crops and trees and sites. This island produces most of the cloves and you can see a bunch of them drying out on the road. Our driver has so much energy and manages to joke with us as well (even though he hasn't eaten since 5am). We go through the center of the major town and it is like Zanzibar...poor. But the homes in the outskirts don't seem so bad...like a lower middle class neighborhood. We are dropped off at the pier so that we can take a boat over to the lodge. There are no roads that can take you there directly. There is a boat captain and an assistant that meets us for the 15-20 minute ride. It is raining right now and it reminds me of our nasty experience on Bora Bora...rain, wind and an open boat=soaking wet luggage. Thankfully I did learn from that incident and managed to buy water resistant luggage; however, it is not coming down super hard and it ends up to be rather short-lived. We get a glimpse of the sunset.
While it did warm up somewhat after the rain, it was still a little chilly. But as we head toward the hotel's dock, we could see people still swimming in the ocean, a couple learning to windsurf and some boys jumping off the pier. Brrrr. We are met at the jetty by the manager, Matt. We get the usual "Karibu" and welcome drink. He gives us a tour and then walks us over to our tented bungalow. It seems really far away but then he finally turns right. At first I thought we were entering an area with several bungalows but then I realize this is all ours for the next two days! They upgraded us to the next level which is their superior beach suite. If I would have known that, I would have stayed here all four days! There is a large deck, a plunge pool, outdoor shower, a private beach area with loungers, the tented bedroom and a two-story cabana. We have three fully stocked refrigerators...two inside the tent (one for alcohol and one for water and soft drinks) and one upstairs in the cabana. Wow, this by far is the coolest place we've stayed. We did hear that there were some renovations which would explain why I thought this place was stunning and the tripadvisor review couldn't be more wrong!
It's already late so we shower and unpack. Matt's ankle/feet are totally bit up by the tse tse flies from the safari. It is actually really puffy and he is a little worried it's infected. But I told him it's just a reaction from getting bit so much. I have a lot of experience in this area and it happened to me all the time when I lived in Florida. Check this out.
We start our long walk over to the main beach as they are serving dinner there tonight.
Surprise...it is a Swahili buffet dinner. But the food is scrumptious. Since we are back on the islands, seafood is abundant. There is lobster, octopus, fish, etc. We also have sausage, beef and vegetarian dishes. Everything we tried was superb.
At dinner, we talked to the dive outfitter and signed up for the AM scuba excursion.
So I promised you I would talk about bush babies. They are primates but nocturnal. So, as soon as the sky darkens, they immediately become active until the first light of day. I don't have any photos because they are a bit elusive (very keen sense of sight and sound), pretty small and they just hang out in the trees. I told you earlier that they look a little like gremlins. And when we first heard them, we couldn't stop laughing. It was so cute. They literally sound like "ha ha ha ha ha, hahaha." I didn't think it sounded anything like a human baby cry but that is why it got its name. But imagine this sound all night long. And Fundu Lagoon is FULL of bush babies. It soon annoyed Matt to tears. When we asked the staff about them, they told us a story of one of the guests who woke up the next day and demanded that they hunt down and shoot all of them...after all, he had paid tons of money to stay here to get some peace and quiet. Now how can you fight nature?
August 28, 2009
Location:.............Fundu Lagoon
We pack up stuff for our morning dive and decide to take the beach route to the restaurant. At this hour, the vervet monkeys are lively in the sand and bushes.
We have been dying to have bungo juice as we heard they are all from Pemba. But we find out that they are out of season and they have none! We are so sad. But we enjoy a wonderful, fancy breakfast and then make our way over to the dive center. After getting our gear, a group of us are ready to head over to Misali Island, a marine sanctuary, for premier diving. We are paired with Fil, who is a renown Tanzanian divemaster.
It is a 15 minute boat ride to the island. We have two boats with about 5 people each. They are super fast, modern, speed boats...the wetsuits keep us warm. We disembark on the island first. And I misjudge the height from the bow of the boat to the beach and end up rehurting my sprained ankle as I jumped off (no way I would have lasted any longer without an injury anyway). It looked so low but water can be misleading. There is an area for the resort that has tables, lounge chairs and umbrellas. The staff unloads drinks, we drop off our beach gear and I make a quick pitstop at the toilet (I really do hate those floor contraptions and with a wetsuit...nearly impossible). The divers get back onto the boat, leaving the snorkellers on the island and we head out to our site. The three of us are going to Coral Mountain. We wanted an easy dive so we opted not to do a drift dive (which dominates the sites). We have a boat captain and an assistant. They prepare all of our equipment and do a thorough job of rubbing in toothpaste in our masks and giving it a good rinse. They are all about service here and do everything for me. This is my first time diving with steel tanks and it is super heavy. It doesn't take much for me to roll backwards into the water.
Our favorite diving without question has been French Polynesia and no place has come close. We now finally found a place that rivals the Tuamotus/Bora Bora. Immediately you are surrounded by sea life in all colors. So you rarely have to go deeper than 30 feet. There are fish in every direction and you can't avoid running into them. Fil knows what to look for and goes to his usual spots, whether he is tricking an eel to come out of its hole by spraying him with his regulator or pointing out the nudibranches. It's absolutely breathtaking. I'll just let the photos speak for themselves.
Each dive session is just a one-tank dive. So after 55 minutes bottomtime, we surface and get back onto the boat. Here's my technique: take off the BCD and tank in the water and have the staff grab it, hand them my weight belt, hoist my body up to the side of the boat, swivel my legs into the boat...a little like a seal.
They all laughed at me but it's faster than the ladder and having to hoist that heavy tank on my own weight. I have to say, I really loved the steel tanks though; because they are very compact, it wasn't hitting my tailbone AND, I really didn't need any weights. I had a bit difficulty with my weights today as I had to keep putting more air into my BCD so tomorrow I'm ditching them!
So we took off all our gear and the staff took care of everything. We returned to Misali Island to dry off and get refreshments. This time I dove into the water from the stern of the boat. Brrr... but it is nice and sunny and they have towels waiting for us on land. Fil goes right for the hot cocoa as he is shivering but I'm not as cold as he is. We relax for a while on the loungers and talk to the snorkellers about their ocean odyssey. Looking through a dive book, everyone points out what they saw. It's remarkable that within just a few feet of water, you can encounter lion fish, lobster and even wrasse, on top of the usual triggerfish. If only I had the courage to get back in the water without a wetsuit!
We pack up for the ride home. The wind does kick in later in the morning so it makes the boat ride back super bumpy, especially travelling at supersonic speed. We actually have to brace ourselves so we don't fall out of the boat. On top of that, we are getting dumped on by the waves. We loved the dive so much, there is no hesitation in booking another one for tomorrow morning. Fil was a bit surprised by me tipping him. He is actually the first person that didn't expect one...that's refreshing!
It's lunch time and we have two choices...the main restaurant or the pool bar. I've been enticed by their pool so I pick the pool bar. After a quick dip, we sit down and have a yummy fish salad and an ice cream dessert. The food at the hotel is first rate and everything we've had tastes great.
We returned to our bungalow to take advantage of our wonderful setting. We grab a book and head out to our private loungers on the beach to get some sun and relaxation.
I decide to go into the ocean which ends up to be a bit painful as the beach is filled with shells. But the water is warm.
Taking a walk on the beach, I notice a lot of tracks in the sand that look like it was made by a small moped. I wonder what that is. Guess what? They were tracks made by...MILLIPEDES! They must be huge here. I have been lucky that I haven't really seen any.
There is a sunset dhow cruise tonight so as we get close to the departure time, we head over to the pier bar. We get a couple of drinks from the bartenders. Matt loves their hat.
Departure time! We didn't reserve ahead so it was questionable on whether we'd make it on or not but they said they'd squeeze us in. We watch them put up the sails and then they pour us wine and beer. They hand out my favorites...fresh roasted cashews and taro chips. We sail around for a while waiting for the sunset.
In the meantime, we have conversations with the music conductor and English family. After sunset, we return in time for a shower before dinner.
It has become a ritual to enjoy cocktail hour before dinner. We head over to the bar and order some drinks. I dared try a bloodymary again...hey, it's free this time. They did make it with fresh squeezed tomatoes but they added a bunch of spices and it was delicious! We strike up a conversation with an English couple, Matt (yes, another Matt) and Kath. Kath mentions that their bungalow's bathroom is full of millipedes...ew...I guess I've been lucky. As we discuss British entertainment and culture, I can't resist but bring up the silly names of the Tube stations. Matt and Kath agree and tell us about a "Come As Your Favorite Tube Station" costume party they attended. Guess who won...you guessed it...Cockfosters. It's almost like the trip has come full circle. Before you knew it, we had a few drinks and a couple hours had passed.
Tonight's dining is in the restaurant and we have a choice of 3 different entrees. We have a great meal and head back to the cries of the bush babies to pack up for tomorrow. I try to record the bush babies' cries but it's not predictable as it isn't constant. Oh well. We had a big day and thoroughly enjoyed it here but I am ready to move on to a new experience.
August 29, 2009
Depart:............Fundu Lagoon
Arrive:.............Manta Reef Resort
We have all of our bags completely packed up. Because the dive boat doesn't return until noon and check out is before then, we have to have them ready for pick up. But rather than get on the 12:30 boat back to town, we reserved the 2:30 boat so that we could have lunch before leaving.
We enjoy another breakfast and kill some time checking our emails, looking through their stuff at the gift shop (surprisingly priced cheap) and marveling at the millipedes in the gardens.
The dive center is full today and the clouds are heavy. We're pretty sure it is going to rain. But the staff assures us that somehow it is ALWAYS sunny on Misali Island. I don't know how that can be.
We are paired up with Fil again and we will be diving Coral Gardens today. I told him that I wanted to see Napoleons. The boat ride was much colder today and it is sprinkling. But miraculously, as we get closer to the island, it is true that it is always sunny on Misali Island. Do you see that the clouds just part right above the island?
No one could explain it but they say the weather is always like this 11 months of the year. Same ritual as yesterday. My ankle is not too bad today but I can still feel that it is quite not right.
After dropping off the snorkellers, we head out to the dive site. Again, we are treated to a spectacular dive. It is much more comfortable without the weights today and I have no problem remaining neutral. Matt is diving below me which concerns me since he already sucks a lot of air. I try to motion to him to stay above me. Unlike Zanzibar, visibility here is unbelievable and it is rare to just see an expanse of blue so it is easy enough to split up somewhat and find each other again. Out in the distance I see a Napoleon and I am so excited. I try to get everyone's attention. Matt finally sees it. I just love their freakishly big, cartoonish features and they are so colorful for a wrasse. Not a good photo because it's a bit far away.
We see all sorts of fish and we are lucky that Fil likes to take pictures so we just hand him our camera and we don't have to worry about it.
We are down here for a long time enjoying the sea life. Even during the safety stop, you are just surrounded by fish.
Today's dive was a little over an hour. It helped tremendously that Matt floated above me so he'll just have to remember that trick. We are sad that today is our last dive...look at how happy we are!
Since we need to stay dive free for 48 hours before we get on a plane, we won't be able to dive when we go up north to Manta Reef. But I read that their diving is not as good and a lot of the reefs were destroyed in a storm a few years ago.
Today is a bit colder so upon our return to Misali Island, I am eager to have some hot chocolate.
Since we are somewhat in a rush today, we don't linger on the island too long and return back to the hotel jetty.
I grab our clothes bag and take a shower at the dive center. It's just as luxurious as our bungalow. We have fresh towels, robes, a mirror and even lots of room. We say goodbye to Fil and head over to the restaurant for our last meal here. Everything looks good so we order it all...beef steak salad, coconut veggie soup, fish salad with pineapple salsa, fruit crepe and coffee ice cream. Again, fantastic!
We say our goodbyes to the staff and Matt walks us to the boat. We will miss Fundu.
Our same driver picks us up but we have a full load of people this time. We are headed to the airport where they will hand us off to the Manta Reef driver. Upon arrival, we see a man who seems to be looking for us. Once we confirm who we are, he takes our luggage and we go to the car. I start to get nervous because we are in a jeep with a broken windshield, torn seats and the car won't start. I am thinking twice about my choice now. After a few locals help, we finally get started. It is about an hour and a half drive but it is very scenic. We go through a town where our driver stops. It is his village and his wife has packed him his dinner for after sundown, which will be soon. We pass the famous Ngezi Forest which is known for the flying foxes. I am fascinated with the rubber trees. It is for some reason stunning to me.
The staff at Manta Reef greets us and they invite us to the deck for our orientation. I love the rocking chairs. We get a cocktail and they explain all the details. The only direction I remember hearing was...don't forget to sign up for your free massage. Eventually, we are escorted to our room which overlooks the ocean. I was really hoping that it was going to be better than I thought. A little disappointing. It's clean but basic. I am a little worried as there are a lot of holes in the mosquito net and none of the windows are screened or close. I find that strange where malaria exists. All of a sudden Matt blurts out, "I would have gladly taken the loss on this place to stay another night at Fundu." These are the words out of the mouth of the man who thought this trip was too expensive and San Diego Wild Animal Park would have sufficed, who won't pay more than $30 for a pair of jeans, who makes me wear a jacket in the house in the winter because heating is expensive...stunned. But on the bright side, we both agree that we have a beautiful view and we watch the sunset.
Our butler serves us dinner on the hotel deck.
We enjoy a quiet meal and as the sky darkened, we could see a billion stars. Dinner time is when your butler and the service staff come by to see what you would like to do tomorrow. Matt hates massages so I book a time for myself tomorrow afternoon and we decide to take the excursion to what the staff calls the "James Bond beach" in the morning.
Diving makes me sleepy.

Whew. Glad I found this one Friday.
May you be in Heaven before the Devil knows you're dead
If I take this question literally?....I'd have to say an original Colt Walker
Well if you would choose to carry a cap and ball pistol I guess that is your call. Although I believe its pretty obvious I was referring to modern defensive firearms one would carry for personal protection. Granted the luger 45 did kind of throw it off subject a little. LOL

Although I never owned one I always liked the Star PD .45. Light and compact.
I got an old Rossi 38 spcl m685 3 inch bbl in nearly pristine condition for $225. Great little shooter. Easy to carry and conceal. Wife has an H&R 32 revolver. Again...cheap, good shooter, and easy to conceal. Then, of courses we do have our, as O'Rielly would say, heavy weapons. Only problem with the 32 is finding sw long. I get it online from a mexican manufacturer, talk about black powder!
I'll add another vote for S&W K frames and the Ruger Six series
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
HK P7 series, and the Colt Officers model .45.
Luckily I have a p7M8 and a stainless Officers Enhanced I bought around '95 and had modified by Wilson Combat at that time. Two of my favorites then and now.
NRA Life Member
Another vote for the H&K P7M8.
What about the Browning BDA? No love for it? How many remember or still own that one? Lol
It's not very concealable, but if I was going to open carry a discontinued handgun that's got a service history...for my money: A Mateba Unica autorevolver.

Doubt I could afford one if I could find it though. I could get a Unica though, if one came up, which is a big reason I favor it for a discontinued defense handgun.
Smith and Wesson/Walther P99...SA/DA and decocking striker with decent capacity. Never thought it was possible, not sure why it was discontinued.
G'vening ccw9mm: That was a very iteresting pistol, only two of the .45 Lugers were ever made . This was for the competitive Military tests for a replacement for the Single action Colts and S&W's in the early 1900's..
They originally had the 6.5 & 9 mm pistols first, which were turned down as lacking stopping power for fanatical natives, specifically the Moros in the Philippines..
Either of them are prob worth in the $1,000,000 class today.
