How light can a SBF get? w/iron block.
Still trying to figure out the best engine and trans to install in my 66 Volvo Amazon. If I start out with a fairly stock SBF its weighs 450 lbs.
(correct me if I'm wrong)
The stock 4 banger is around 340.
Wondering if anyone has seen a chart with aluminum heads, headers etc.
lowers the weight?
Since I'll be adding also an ATM (AOD) the lower the weight up front the better.
Just in the planning stages.
Thoughts welcome!
going from 340 to 450 lbs is not that great a change but if you like aluminum heads and manifold along with some shorty headers will save some pounds. Using the aod is a good idea as you can get a complete package from a donor ford product and just go ahead with the swap..myself i would not loose any sleep over the weight difference as those cars handle well and are sturdy in their construction..
And...There are other ways to get rid of weight...Move battery to the truck will save quite a bit on the front end etc.....
You are a hot rodder right? Some creative thinking and you can get a better fore and aft weight distribution..
I don't mind the thread taking a turn or two along the way. But all I'm really interested in is the SBF weight.
Oh grins :mwink:
I'd say in the neighborhood of 390lbs, using alloy heads, tin valve covers, and carbed,
not injected. The starting point would be a '90ish 5.0, as they're the lightest blocks, if you
can find a 255cid crank, they're lighter than the 5.0L by 8 or so lbs...
Several years ago I weighed some SBF parts on a 351W when I was trying to shave some weight the numbers will be close for a 302.
Edlebrock Aluminum heads saved 25 pounds per head (50 pounds)
Edelbrock aluminum intake saved 40 pounds (will probably be a little less for a 302. say 35 pounds)
Aluminum water pump 7 pounds
AFB instead of Holley 5 pounds
Headers and stock early style the headers actually weighed 4 pounds more although they were full legnth headers. Shorty headers would probably save a couple of pounds.

Many people have now hunkered down to winter and be thinking the last thing they want to do is take the dog for a walk. You may have had all the intentions to take your dog for a walk the other day but found it (as I did the other day) -1C and absolutely freezing. However, the downside is if I don't take them for a walk my two dogs will just get into trouble.
So what do you need to consider for your dog this time of year and how do you handle it?
Cold: Yes it is cold but, unlike people, most dogs come with an impressive waterproof layer keeping them fairly snug. If you have a dog without that fur coat, maybe invest in one.
Darkness: You can get blinking lights for your dogs so that when they're off lead you can see them if it's too dark. But at this time of year, make sure you can see your dog at all times as, believe it or not, their vision is not excellent in the dark.
Exercise: You need to get out at this time of year to keep your dog sane. As great as I am sure your view is, nothing compares to getting out and smelling the roses. Enjoy it and take your gloves and beanie and have some fun.
Snow: Your dogs will love snow and depending on how they cope you can even buy little bootees. This is great if you plan to go skiing this year with your dogs (yes, some local mountains let you bring your dog).
Most of all have some fun and keep safe out there this winter.

Where are these dog friendly mountains you speak of? Any in the South Island? My Goldie would wet her pants with excitement if I took her skiing!
I have recently added a White German Shepherd pup to my household, he is 13 weeks old at present and still waiting to have his last jab before we get out and about. Luckily we have a large section, so I am able to walk him around on his lead in the mornings before work. I just thank my lucky stars that it is dark in the morning as my usual attire includes, PJ pants, dressing gown, ski jacket, beanie and gumboots - am I the only nutter out there first thing in the morning in half sleep, half ski attire??
The Dog Abuse Prevention Society New Zealand (DAPSNZ) is very aware at this cold time of year, that there are many thousands of dogs in New Zealand, living outside in substandard kennels, (the owners are often under the delusion that these are 'nice warm kennels') and suffering badly. Today's breeds are not like wild dogs, they are so different that their needs are different. Small dogs and dogs with short haired coats in particular, quickly get too cold, sitting standing or lying around outside. So a good brisk walk is excellent, but we do try to encourage people to bring their dogs indoors to live. We are happy to provide more information to anyone interested. Just contact us at email@example.com
I'd also love to know where these dog friendly snowy places are...but North island ones! We are also nutcases who go walking twice a day throughout winter, rain or shine :)
We have a siberian husky who requires a lot of exercise every day. The answer, if it is too cold to walk, then go for a run. The running keeps me warm, and I'm pretty sure that being a husky she's not so worried about the cold.
Jo #2, No, you're not the only nutter dressed like that in the morning. My dogs much prefer snoozing by the fire, but I'm out there in a similar outfit to feed the chooks! Dogs get tossed out when I come in.
Its not just you Jo! My neighbours are used to my PJ/puffa jacket/beanie gumboot combo in the mornings... We are lost without our 'dog torches' for winter walks. Certainly makes an evening walk less stressful if we can see them. We also make sure they have different colour lights, so we know which is which. I've noticed that my bitch seems to have fairly poor night vision, if she can't see us, she just sits and waits for us to find her. Our dog doesn't care, and he runs and runs (sometimes just in circles). Those bracing winter walks can actually be rather pleasant, provided you are dressed for the occasion of course.
Anyone know any dog friendly mountains near Christchurch. My dog loves the snow he would be very keen to play in more of it.
@Jo - You aren't the only one this time of year I often put a ski jacket and trackies over my pj for our morning dog walk.
No way there are others LOL! I was outside our house yesterday morning playing early morning fetch with my young dog in a big thick baby blue dressing gown over Pjs, gumboots(not my best ones!)whilst wearing a treatbag strapped round my waist which to anyone who saw me and didn't know it was a dog training treatbag would definitely of thought it was a fanny pack.. Hopefully the young builders who snapped me out doing this from my neighbors section don't spread the word there's a loony on my street ;)
A very timely article this morning. We shifted to Australia with the cat and dog in February and now it's usually -4 or -5 every morning. Walkies have to happen but at the moment all three of us are huddled around the fire. It's misty, frosty and stone cold out there. I have a Doberman who needs loads of exercise but I have to wait until the sun comes up!! There's some days I wish he would enjoy running on a treadmill but where's the sniffing fun in that? As an aside- I have never lived anywhere where there are so many angry dogs (there are many, many streets where we have to cross the road to avoid the angry beasts), or dogs that take themselves for walkies. Incredible as it's $880 instant fine if you don't pick up your dog poo but people let their dogs go roaming...Bizarre.

Jan 19, 2011 - I went to this salon, because it was on Yelp, and she showed me what to do with my curly hair. The FIRST time ever that anyone had shown me that. Before this day, I was told to straighten it, or to use curling iron, it always turned out frizzy and uncontrollable. It is not the same looking on internet for instruction as it is to have someone to show you and explain in detail which she did. I bought the book and read it per her recommendation, but still it was her spending the time to show me. She has a great personality and I will recommend her to every curly girl I know. I am now using that method, have not mastered it yet, but it was truly educational. sincerely Bita Braeuer Gilbert Arizona

WESLEY CHAPEL — Noah Ravenna can remember the game where it all started to turn for the Wiregrass Ranch football team.
Quarterback James Tringali can narrow it down to the exact play.
In Week 5, Wiregrass hosted Clearwater Central Catholic and trailed 24-7 at halftime. Coming out of the break, the Bulls desperately needed a score to stay in the game.
They got it when senior receiver Shaquille Vereen turned a short slant pattern from Tringali into a 45-yard catch-and-run touchdown
From there, the Bulls outscored CCC 21-7 after halftime. And though they fell short of knocking off the Marauders, the second half sparked the team's current four-game win streak.
As did that perfectly executed slant pass.
"(The play) was just exactly how the coaches drew it up," said Tringali, the Bulls' starting quarterback for three-and-a-half seasons. "After that, (CCC) bobbled the kickoff and were pinned deep in their territory and we got the ball back on a three and out and scored again. …It just seems like we've been rolling ever since."
After losing to CCC, Wiregrass Ranch sat at 2-3, with an ugly loss to Sunlake and a deflating one to Wesley Chapel on its resume.
But rather than implode, the Bulls could sense better times on the horizon. They haven't been beaten since.
"Our team pretty much came together during the second half of that game," senior lineman Jared Cameli said. "You could feel it in the atmosphere of the locker room after the game."
Three weeks later, the Bulls knocked off district favorite Tarpon Springs to take control of the playoff chase, and they clinched the school's first postseason bid the following game, comfortably beating River Ridge.
The Bulls' late-season success has helped ease the pain of last season's collapse against Hudson, when a last-second loss kept them from making the playoffs.
The Bulls scored three touchdowns to the Cobras' two but missed on all three of their two-point conversions. Hudson retook the lead and the playoff spot on a 23-yard field goal with 1:18 left.
"It was actually one of the hardest losses of my career," Ravenna said. "…To this day, I still can't watch that film. I've never seen the replay of the game."
Tonight, Wiregrass Ranch can pull off the upset of the season and earn some long-awaited respect with a win over undefeated Pasco.
And with the way they've closed the season, the Bulls are thinking: why can't we be the ones to knock off the Pirates?
"We're looking to win. We're looking to beat the top team in Pasco County," Ravenna said. "There's no holding back for the playoffs. We're working hard at it all week, and I feel like we're ready."

Leaky Dishwasher
Our dishwasher flooded the kitchen. The wash cycle was over, and the hot water pooled in the bottom of the dishwasher, and leaked out the bottom of it. We shut off the water supply to the dishwasher and got the floor cleaned up. It was fine for a day - not being used at all, but now today the bottom is filled with water again, and is leaking on the floor. Do you think this a dishwasher issue, or a pipe issue? How would water be filling into the dishwasher with the water shut off?
are you sure your shut off valve is working? It maybe still open a little bit otherwise it is impossable except for maybe it is coming back through the drain line. Is the drain hooked up to a garbage disposal, is the water clean or cloudy and smelly? My bet is the valve is not shutting the water off completely, which would mean you need a plumber to replace the shut off and an appliance tech to replace the water valve on the dishwasher.
How old is dishwasher? Maybe time to replace?
If there iswater on the floor underneath the dishwasher thenyour problem could be the hose. A hose connection can work loose over the years, or hoses can become damaged or cracked. Replacing the hose is very simple; it requires clamps on each end to keep the connection tight.
Another problem could be a water inlet valve which can also cause excess water to spill out. The valve controls how much water comes into the dishwasher. If it is not working correctly, the valve could be stuck open, allowing too much water in, resulting in flooding.

I recently wrote an opinion about the buffet I intend to prepare on New Years Eve and Daseaford asked if anyone had any ideas for vegetarian buffet food, so Daseaford - this one's for you! Firstly I'll mention the mincemeat as its Christmas. I have already done an opinion giving my recipe for making your own mincemeat. If you're interested its under gourmet food and drink, the home made section on preserves. Suffice it to say here that this is totally suitable for vegetarians. I use the vegetarian equivalent of suet, which is available in any supermarket, and this not only makes the mincemeat OK for vegetarians it makes it a lot lower in saturated fat too. I make my pasty using White Flora and sunflower margarine rather than lard and butter so that's also OK for vegetarians. There you are then the mince pies are a winner with everyone, except mom who is a diabetic so I make special mincemeat for her! But I digress! I also make my own samosas using a packet of filo pastry from the supermarket and a vegetable filling. For which my sister gave me the recipe. You can also make meat samosas but I prefer the vegetable ones even though I am not a vegetarian. Another easy, and very tasty, buffet item to make at home is cheese scones. I always make mine using my smallest cutter and then spread them with sunflower spread before putting them out on the buffet. Now I'll go onto the other things on my buffet that the vegetarians can eat. The obvious starting point has to be bread. Make sure it's interesting, and not just a Mothers Pride sliced loaf. I have nothing against a sliced loaf in its place, but that place is not a buffet! Use French sticks and cut them into chunks, or how about the speciality breads such as ciabatta or you could make your own with a breadmaker. Get a decent selection of cheeses too. You don't have to spend a fortune, just go to the delicatessen counter a
t the supermarket and buy a small amount of each of a few nice cheeses. Remember to get some tasty cheddar for the cheese and pineapple on sticks too. It's worth also getting a selection of crackers and biscuits for eating with cheese. I find that these always go down well. Especially with me!! There are plenty of snacks of the crisp type that vegetarians can eat, but be careful that you read the labels as sometimes the ones that you would expect to contain meat don't and vice versa! Bread sticks and savoury twists usually appear at my buffets too. Nuts of all varieties are another good source of protein for the vegetarians, so make sure you have a selection of these too. Quiches are another of my favourites and they do an excellent range in Tesco's at moderate prices. Just cook and cut into small slices and arrange on the plate. Again it's worth checking the ingredients on the box just in case. I usually prepare some vol au vents, purchased frozen from the supermarket, and fill them with egg mayonnaise or mushroom mayonnaise. I always buy a set of dips from our local Asda (scrummy!) and make crudités from carrots, peppers, celery, pitta bread and of course a pack or two of Doritos! Of course if you?re making a special buffet, as opposed to just a finger food one for a party, everyone, not just the vegetarians, appreciates plenty of nice salad stuff.If you have time a fresh fruit salad is another healthy idea. I'm sure that there are plenty more vegetarian ideas out there, but I thought that I would share mine with you in the hope that it would be of some help. Happy Christmas!
I've got to tell you this as Im still excited that I made something that actually tastes nice! Just to let you know my boyfriend would rather cook himself dinner than have me cook him something because my culinery skills are a slight problem! We are having a small Christmas gathering at work and everyone has been given something to make ie Mince pies, sausage rolls and all that tasty Christmas stuff. I got Rum Truffles! I was praying they might ask me to bring the mulled wine but oh no...I get rum truffles. So off to work I go, searching the internet to find out how on earth to make these things. Of course, being a complete chocoholic it didnt bring me out in a sweat as I new at the end what ever happened it would taste of CHOCOLATE. Here's what I found: 150g Plain cooking CHOCOLATE!! 1OZ butter 150ml extra thick double cream 2 tbsp (look I even know the abbreviations now) of Rum or a liquer of your choice Some CHOCOLATE chips or chopped nuts to finish off Boyfriend aside (watching a film with his mate) I set to my task. I put everything out on the kitchen top and followed the instructions: *heat on a low setting in a saucepan the chocolate, butter and cream. *once melted stir in your liquer (mine was whiskey...yum yum). OK, all going well. Although feeling a bit squiffy as have already drunk half the bottle and am giggling to myself at the thought of my Mum actually seeing me cook something! *transfer into a bowl and leave in the fridge overnight. EASY! the only washing up I had to do was a spoon and a saucepan. This morning I actually got up earlier to see what my CHOCOLATE gunge looked like. FANTASTIC! *Roll into small balls and cover with a coating of your choice (CHOCOLATE chips in my case) The funny thing was there was also a huge chunk eaten from it. Yes, my boyfriend had actually eaten something I made. Yippee! At
last! I brought them to work...they've all gone! they went down a treat, cost about £3 to make 24 and you guessed it....I'll be making them for Christmas day!
Here is my attempt at Mince Pies, which I thought I would share with you. I havent made them for years, but they did go down a treat last Friday night. You will need: (This recipe should make approx 30 mince pies) One baking sheet, for mince pies Pastry cutter 2.5" in diameter Pastry cutter 2.0" in diameter. Pastry Brush Rolling Pin To Make Mince Pies 1lb Plain Flour 4-oz butter chilled 4-oz lard chilled 2 oz caster sugar Drop of milk for binding and browning pastry Large Jar mincemeat A little flour for dusting your rolling pin, work-surface, clothes etc 1. Sieve flour into a large mixing bowl. If you sieve with a bit of 'height' this will allow more air to enter the flour and help the lightness of the pastry (So Delia tells me, in her 'How to make Pastry' section) 2. Coat the butter and lard blocks in the flour, and then chop into small cubes. 3. Rub Fat into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. (Very therapeutic this part, or at the very least it will remind you of Home Economics Lessons when you were at school.) 4. Add the sugar to the mix, and stir in gently. 5. Add the smallest drop of water, and bind the mixture together with your hands. Better to add too little, you can always add more. 6. The mixture should come together very quickly and leave the bowl clean. 7. Place the Pastry ball on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes or so. 8. Lightly grease the baking sheet, to prevent the pastry sticking. 9. Lightly dust your clean, dry work-surface with flour 10. Roll out the dough ball using the rolling pin, and rotating the rolled out pastry through 90 degrees, after each 'roll'. You will probably find it easier to split the dough into two or three. 11. Continue to roll the pastry, until it is just a few mm thick. Using the larger pastry cutter, cut out your circle base
s and place these on the baking sheet 12. Fill each base with a spoonful of mincemeat, careful not to overfill, as the contents will spill over 13. Lightly milk the edges of the pastry circles, to allow you to stick the pastry tops to them 14. Re-roll your pastry, utilising all the scraps, and cut out the pastry tops using the smaller cutter 15. Place these on top of the bases and mincemeat, and lightly pinch the pastry edges together with your fingers. 16. Brush the tops with milk and place in the over on Gas Mark 5, 180 degrees C for 18-20 minutes. Can be served warm or cold, but they are best served warm with a splash of brandy cream! If served cold, lightly dust the tops by shaking Icing sugar over them. Make sure you leave one out for Santa, and don't forget to leave a snack for Rudolph! PS Apologies for imperial measurements, have done a conversion course yet (LOL)
I love mince pies and as I have now had 4 to 5 weeks sampling various shop bought ones have now decided that one outlet has come very near to the home made variety. Nothing beats a home made pie but with busy life styles if you are like me then time is at a premium and we have to make do with the next best thing. Here are the results of my findings.
M$S have a wide range, my favourites being the lattice top. These are shallow, fruity and the pastry is nice and short. The deeper mince pies are too sweet for my taste but if you have a sweet tooth then they will probably be ok for you. The mini pies are excellent, just a mouthful and are ideal for buffets and for children.
Prices average at £1.30 for six.
I didn't like these pies at all. The pastry was mass produced and didn't have that home baked taste or look, in fact it was quite rubbery. The filling was far too sugary.
Price £1.18 for six.
Surprising good and excellent value for money. The pastry was short and the filling was fruity although there wasn't too much of it. If you are not a lover of mincemeat then I suggest you try these.
Price a staggering 56p for six.
The pastry was a little fatty for my liking and the filling was a little glutinous but it wasn't too sweet.
Price £1.49 for six.
Too much sugar on the pastry and very little filling.
Price £1.39 for six.
My favourite of the Fenwicks range is the Viennese which comes with a delicious viennese topping and is cased a rich, buttery pastry. The filling contains alcohol and the fruit is quite succulent. These are large pies and one pie is more than enough.
Price £1.09 for three.
In my opinion Greggs the bakers have come up with the best mince pie this year. It looks home-made and tastes as good as it looks. The pastry is nice and s
hort and literally melts in the mouth. The fruity filling is mouth watering, fresh and not too sweet. The pie has a light sprinkling of icing sugar. Excellent all rounder.
Price again excellent valur for money 99p for six.
This was the only place on Dooyoo I could find to review some great new snacks. And they'd do for christmas parties too. A couple of days ago I found somegreat new crisp things in Sainsburys - Simpsons snacks. They come in multipacks of 6 or 10 packets I think. I got a 6 pack of 2 bags of Eat my Shorts (Short shaped pepperoni things), Barts Lava Rocks (Spicy balls) and finally Ha Ha Wedgies (Cheese balls in the shape of arses (Soory about the language)) THese are great snacks and should not be missed at any Christmas Parties
This is a fabulous treat for those with a sweet tooth (and without). You can't buy it in the shops (not quite like this). Anybody can doo it. Can yoodoo it? Take a large empty coffee jar and fill it with skinned, stoned peaches. Get as many in as possible. Add a few tablespoons of brown sugar (two or three heaped ones according to jar size). Fill the jar up with brandy. It doesn't take much brandy as most of the space is taken by the peaches. Screw the top on. Shake the jar to mix the sugar in. This will keep until Christmas. Serve with fresh cream. (Not just for Christmas!)

I have a real problem rolling with a guy at my club. Hes small in stature - maybe 67kg and a purple belt. To clarify, these are merely club rolls.
He gives me real problems - infact smaller skilled guys in general give me problems. Now we could argue that its the belt grade, its skills, etc..but fact is that now i see a pattern emerging with smaller guys giving me some of the most difficult rolls ever.
Anybody else see this pattern?
Is it just me?
Ps i need to stop falling for the line - "we'll have a gentle flow roll" - thats where is let me guard down and pay the price.

Best way to tidy up fiberglass building insulation (pink stuff)
Here is a picture of our unfinished basement storage... lots of fiberglass building insulation which the previous contractor just sort of put it up randomly...
Is there any good way to clean it up / tidy it up a little bit so that it would look nicer? Any ideas? Thanks!
probably would have to replace it.
Shameful disaster area. Very sloppy work. Other than covering it, I'd say no, there is no easy way. Yank it out and replace it w/ some Roxul, imo, and air seal while you have that junk out of there, if practical.
jilingel, thanks for your help... I google'd it and found these DIY videos with Roxul. Just a quick FYI for people who might be interested.
buildingscience.com, too. roxul is good insulation, imo. fg is not so good.

Google Page Rank "glitch"?
I am curious to know if anyone else noticed the Page Rank change last Friday? As I was home surfing the web, I noticed a PR increase for one of my sites. I then assumed that the awaited PR change had taken place and I went to several sites and noticed a host of PR changes – some for the better, and some that I would have rather not seen.
Probably within an hour or so, all of the previous Page Rank had returned. Overall, I am glad that what I saw didn't actually take place because one site had totally lost its PR.
Perhaps Matt has some insight here?
One Response to "Google Page Rank "glitch"?"
PR update in progress today. Apparently the one on Friday was a blip.

Two-time Georgia Music Award Winners, Unbreakable Bloodline, are rising above the noise with their sophomore release, Anti Gravity, which is a refreshing blend of hip hop & rock with a hint of blues & a splash of island flare. From the fun, radio friendly hooks of Mid Dayz Drift to the more serious lyrical content of Dead End, Unbreakable Bloodline proves to be on the cutting edge of today's audible marketplace.
This particular collection of songs, ranging from ambient to bone crushing, is guaranteed to cross over to a wide variety of music lovers, while defying the traditional boundaries of its predecessors.
The recognizable intensity of Unbreakable Bloodline's live stage show has landed this group of versatile musicians with recent headlining performance slots at the 2017 Red Gorilla Music Fest in Austin,Texas (in conjunction with South By Southwest), Sweetwater 420 Fest in beautiful Centennial Park Atlanta as well as an upcoming opportunity to perform at Bonnaroo 2017.
Unbreakable Bloodline, last year's Talent Tap Winners voted by Atlanta's premier alternative rock radio 105.7 listeners, are also happy to annouce their new title achivement as Atlanta winners of the 99X Rock 100.5 2017 Road to Roo contest.
Unbreakable Bloodline has been fortunate to share stages with such noteworthy artists as Kid Rock, 21 Pilots, Awolnation, Ben Harper, The Roots, George Clinton, Ludacris, & Cypress Hill in addition to recently serving as direct support for Atlanta based hip hop guru, T.I.
Unbreakable Bloodline fans can look for the band to appear on tour this Summer as well as on the big screen 2017 Fall release for the upcoming Michael Mueller film, BeLIEf in addition to a previous 2016 Blackflight Studios Indie horror film, The Legend Of Seven Toe Maggie. Both films feature cameo appearances by Unbreakable Bloodline members as well as band musical sound track contributions.
Aside from being rock stars on the rise, Unbreakable Bloodline takes great pride in giving back to their community & being positive role models for today's youth. The band has contributed original hype songs & music videos to their local high school & youth football leagues along with original performance track contributions for a public school system fire safety awareness campaign, reaching over 600 schools & day care centers regionally. Unbreakable Bloodline has also participated in the development of an educational program which is being implemented in various schools across their home state.
As Georgia favorites, Unbreakable Bloodline is consistently honored in making special appearances at select hometown events such as the City of Albany Mardi Gras street party celebration, which the band will be participating in again this year. Unbreakable Bloodline is also a staple attraction at the Georgia Regional Fair & the City of Albany & City of Leesburg Christmas Parades, where they continue to outdo themselves each year with their live moving float performances. Unbreakable Bloodline is thankful for the ongoing support of media outlets such as The Albany Herald, Fox 31, WALB & Cumulus Broadcasting, whereas they often take advantage of related exposure for the betterment of humanity.
Unbreakable Bloodline is more than just a band, it's a way of life, a fellowship, a culture. Band members can often be seen praying together, attending church together & openly sharing a common passion for employing their God given talents to instill positive values in the lives of others. "We are passionate about our music, we love to rock out and take our live performances seriously, we must also express our creative abilities as part of our natural existence, but without a greater purpose attached, our efforts would only be meaningless babble." (Jon Smith)
As Independent artists, Unbreakable Bloodline members are taking business matters into their own hands while developing a strong fan base & positioning themselves to soon be a household name. The band is consistently building valuable relationships within the music industry & are among the construction of a professional team which is Unbreakable.

Article in Albany Herald
Written by Brad McEwen
ALBANY — Thanks to a little good fortune and always being ready to bring their musical A-game, Unbreakable Bloodline will get a chance to show fans at South By Southwest why they've quickly become one of Southwest Georgia's most popular bands. The Albany-based group hits the stage at the prestigious Austin festival on Friday.
Founded in 1987 as a multi-day music festival that drew more than 700 attendees its first year, the festival — often abbreviated SXSW — has grown into a 10-day music, film and interactive media extravaganza that regularly draws upward of 30,000 registrants looking to find the next the next big thing.
Now with the chance to join 2,000-plus artists that will be showcasing their music next week, the members of UBL — vocalists Jerome "King OZ" Osborne, Vernon "Chief Havok" Cruz, Tiffany "O'She Tyght" Thomas, drummer Chad "Black Out" Basco, bassit Ryan "Mr. Meyers" Meyers and guitarist Jon "Rock On" Smith — are hoping this marks the start of the band gaining more exposure outside of its native Southwest Georgia, perhaps propelling it to the next level.
"Probably whoever your favorite artist is, whoever you like, you know, you're thinking, 'Wouldn't it be cool if they were there and saw us and then were like, 'Hey, man, we need to talk?'" Osborne said. "I think that's everybody's dream."
"I was laying in my bed the other night thinking, 'Damn, we could possibly meet up with like Outkast or Macklemore,' you know what I'm saying?" Cruz said. "How cool would it be if someone saw us and was like, 'Hey, man, we've got a spot on our tour. Why don't you join us?'"
Although they admit such dream scenarios are longshots, the band members see that getting a chance to play at such an important showcase allows them to do two of the things they strive to do where ever they go — expand their fan base and build new relationships.
"Ultimately, for the past two years we've been planting seeds and building relationships and nourishing those relationships," Smith said. "It's more about relationships than anything else right now.
"Not to name-drop or anything, but the relationships that we've built have lead to other relationships, which have led to other relationships, and we're finally in the loop with some prominent people in the business. We work hard and we're a tight band whenever we play out live."
Their ability to build relationships and present those tight live shows helped the group land the SXSW gig, even if there was a little luck thrown in for good measure.
Osborne said that just a few weeks ago, the group was playing a show at Big Rax Saloon in Albany alongside local rock band Days to Come and good friends Almost Kings. To UBL's good fortune, Almost Kings just happened to be playing with a fill-in bass player named Paul "Devon" Lewow, who is also the singer in a band called Brother Grey.
"Devon knows some guy named Joe who has something to do with the talent for SXSW," Osborne said. "Well, Devon saw us play and made a phone call, sent (Joe) a text actually, and was like, 'Hey, man, you got any slots left? You need to get these guys on. I just watched them and they're pretty tight.'"
Osborne said Lewow continually showed the band the texts he and Joe were exchanging throughout the night. Finally, news came down that something had been worked out.
"That was a Friday night and then Saturday he texted us to say, 'Hey, I'm just waiting on him to reply to see if he has a slot for you guys.' Then about 2 or 3 o'clock, he texted and said, 'Hey man, it's on.'"
When explaining the whole series of events, Cruz sums it up succinctly: "He obviously liked what he heard."
Indeed, for Lewow to hear the band one time and go out on a limb like that speaks volumes about the quality of a UBL show, which is something the members take great pride in.
"With SXSW and all the opportunities we've gotten, it really comes down to our work ethic and being prepared, man," Cruz said. "If we weren't as tight as we were in front of these people when we had that first impression, they wouldn't be dealing with us. It's as simple as that.
"They saw what we can do and that kind of set the tone. That's what's helped us along."
As many in the Albany area know, UBL has built a solid fan base thanks not only to their great music, such as the tracks on last year's "Anti-Gravity," but also by being able to bring the power and energy of their songs to the masses through an impressive live show.
Such was the case last weekend when the band graced the stage at the downtown Albany Mardi Gras Street Festival, where they were met with thunderous applause from the hometown faithful. In fact, the reception from people at the Mardi Gras show was one of the best the band has ever received.
"I was really, really happy seeing our city show up for Mardi Gras," Cruz said. "When we looked out at that crowd and there were all those people, it was incredible. And they weren't just standing there, they were engaged. Really, we just want to say a huge thank you to the Good Life City.
"We need our city's support. Every time we are a part of something here it seems to get bigger and bigger and that makes us feel good. Honestly, I get goosebumps thinking about it because we're connecting with people."
Making such a strong connection with the local fan base also serves to fuel the band's excitement and confidence about playing the SXSW gig, as it lets them know that they have the talent and ability to make a good impression on new fans.
"We've been running into people that are from different places that are out of the ordinary, like Detroit or Chicago, and when they get a chance to see us, they are blown away," Thomas said. "They say things like, 'I didn't expect to come to Albany and see something like this. You guys are tight!' And they're really enjoying it. Being able to expose Albany's talent (at SXSW) is great."
The band's quest to invade Austin and pull even more fans into the UBL family gets going Tuesday night when the crew will hit the road with the intent of driving straight through to Austin.
"We plan to have dinner together and, once we do that, we'll say goodbye to our families and hit the road," Cruz said. "It's a 15-, 16-hour drive and we're pretty much going to drive all night and take two-hour shifts."
In another act of fate the band also has the good fortune of not having to shell out outrageous sums of money to stay in Austin for a few days (it's SXSW policy that all acts have to pay their own way).
"My cousin just moved to Austin and she lives right in the downtown area, maybe a 10-minute walk from the whole event," Cruz said. "Her main reason for buying that house there is because of this event. She and her husband go to it every year; they're die-hard fans, so we lucked up. The closest hotel, which would have been a half-hour away easy, was like $300-500. We got hooked up with the family connection no doubt."
The band's SXSW performance is slated for Friday at noon at the Chuggin Monkey, where they'll get to play a 40-minute set that they are rehearsing daily leading up to the show.
Once again fortune is at play as SXSW features performances at several venues scattered throughout Austin, but from what the band members understand, their venue is in the heart of the action.
"The Chuggin Monkey is on 6th street, right on the main strip," says Cruz.
While the vast majority of the acts that play SXSW are up-and-coming artists, each year it seems several well-established artists will not only visit the festival as music fans, many end up playing unannounced gigs while they're there.
The rumor is the Chuggin Monkey is one of the venues where those nationally recognized artists have been known to appear.
Regardless of whether the band is fortunate enough to get discovered or meet some of their heroes at the showcase, each band member is simply excited to have such a great opportunity and is relishing the chance to be a part of something so well known.
"Aw, man, it's awesome," Smith said rather frankly.
"It's epic," Osborne added.
"Yeah, epic's the word," Thomas agreed.
The band is set to return to Albany right after its SXSW performance. UBL will once again entertain its friends and neighbors at the annual Albany Wing Fest to support The Southwest Georgia Cancer Coalition. The Wing fest is 11 a.m.-7 p.m. March 19 at the Albany Fairgrounds.
UBL set to drop their sophmore album "ANTI-GRAVITY"
ALBANY — Having taken a break from live performance early this year to focus on writing and recording their latest album, Unbreakable Bloodline (UBL) is back on the local scene in a major these days as they build momentum toward the release of their sophomore effort, Anti-Gravity.
That momentum will come to a crescendo Saturday night when the band will host a CD release concert at Albany's State Theater.
"The band is extremely pumped about our Anti Gravity CD release party on May 9th at The State Theatre," said guitarist Jon Smith. "We've been working our butts off for this moment to come and it will be here before we know it."
Smith said the band has been working hard on it's live show and the members are excited about having another chance to share their varying musical styles with their hometown crowd.
"UBL fans can expect a high energy performance from us as usual, along with a handful of tricks up our sleeves for this particular event," Smith said. "We will be performing the new CD material in its entirety along with a couple of new tracks that do not appear on the CD as well as some new cover tunes and a few old favorites from our previous CD."
Joining UBL at the show will be openers Yamadeo and Almost Kings, along with a handful of other guest performers.
"We are both honored and privileged to have the opportunity to share the stage with this incredible lineup of musicians," said Smith. "The CD release show will feature special guest appearances by Rachel Mansfield and Sydney Parr on stage with UBL as well as a couple of other "surprise" guests."
Unbreakable Bloodline performs as special guest for Albany's first Battle of The Bands
ALBANY — The 2015 Dougherty and Lee County Relay for Life will be taking place this weekend at Darton State College, with coordinators hopeful the fundraising efforts will be able to exceed those of the previous year.#The opening ceremony will be at 6 p.m. Friday and will end 12 hours later at 6 a.m. on Saturday. Since it was started nationally in 1985, Relay for Life has been the cancer society's key source of funds for those 30 years.
#Participants and supporters in Dougherty and Lee County have been doing their part since it came to the area 21 years ago.
#The event will begin with opening ceremonies led by Robbie and Dottie Davis, which will include an appearance by the Westover High School ROTC and a survivor lap and caregiver lap led by Lee County Middle School cheerleaders.
#Disc jockey Dollar Bill will provide entertainment throughout the event. There will also be a roll call lap to celebrate the success of the fundraiser.
#The event will feature teams manning decorative campgrounds, participating in a variety of events and selling items and services — including food, glowsticks and bouncy house jumping — to raise money for the cause while participants take turns walking the Relay for Life course.
#"Teams will have at least one person walking through the night," said Elyse Atha, community manager for Relay for Life.
#At 8 p.m. Friday, Unbreakable Bloodline will be on stage. Following that, there will be a luminary service during which the luminaries around the track will be lit. Torches named in honor or memory of someone will be lit, and the glow balloons purchased will be released at the end of the ceremony.
#At 10 p.m., Meow Kapow will perform during the "Birthday Blaster" hour, which will have a birthday party theme. The following hour will be themed "Purple Power Protector," during which participating contestants are expected to dress as a female superhero.
#At midnight, La Bete will be on stage for the "Vanquish the Villains" hour while there is a "Superhero Speedsters" boxcar race. The remainder of the night will include limbo, karaoke, relay games, Tug of War, a scavenger hunt, line dancing and Zumba before the "Fear Factor" hour at 4 a.m. and doughnuts, celebratory music and presentation of a survivor wall at 5 a.m.
#The American Cancer Society's largest fundraiser, Relay for Life is considered a powerful tool for raising awareness and money for research as well as the organization's programs, including Cancer Resource Centers, the Cancer Survivor Network, Hope Lodge, I Can Cope and Look Good Feel Better.
#Last year's Relay here drew 507 participants, including 200 survivors and 47 teams that raised $111,066 for the organization. The goal this year is $116,500, with 49 teams — including 300 participants — registered as of Wednesday.
#"We want people to understand … when people hear Relay for Life, they think it's a 5K, and it's not. We just want folks moving in the track all night," Atha said. "We don't sleep because we realize that cancer doesn't sleep."
#The event is open to the public. There is no charge. All funds raised will go to the American Cancer Society.
#Darton is located at 2400 Gillionville Road.
#To learn more about the Dougherty/Lee County Relay for Life or to find out how to get involved, visit www.relayforlife.org/doughertyleega or contact the American Cancer Society at (229) 446-0986. Those wishing to purchase a luminary in honor or memory of someone can do it up until 7:30 p.m. Friday.

ATLANTA -- A pair of Southwest Georgia groups emerged as the best bands in the state at the recent Georgia Music Awards at the Buckhead Theatre here.#The Albany hip-hop collective Unbreakable Bloodline received the Georgia Award for Hip-Hop Group of the Year, while Dawson/Leesburg-based Highway 55 was named Country Group of the Year.
The ceremony marked the second year of the Georgia Music Awards.
"It really took a little while for this to sink in," UBL drummer Chad Basko said Monday.
"You get the award, they shuffle you out and suddenly you find yourself backstage just looking around. Then there are photographs and interviews. ... It was a whirlwind.
"But the last couple of days we've had an opportunity to think about it, to think about where we are as a band. We've worked hard to get here. The ball's rolling pretty well for us right now."
The GMA comes on the heels of the successful release of Unbreakable Bloodline's self-titled debut album. The band's work is currently available on iTunes, Spotify, Google and will soon move into rotation on Pandora Radio.
Winning awards is nothing new for Highway 55: vocalist Cody Smith, guitarists Skyler McCrary and Grover Mims, bassist Paul Harrell and drummer Jason Plowden. The group, which is currently working on its second album, was named Band of the Year at last year's Georgia Country Music Awards as well.
Next for UBL is the Music in Our Veins benefit concert for the Red Cross at the Crisp County Middle School Auditorium Saturday. The band will also play at the city of Albany's Independence Day celebration at the Exchange Club Fairgrounds.
"May was a huge month for us, and now (with the Georgia Music Award) we have even more momentum," Basko said.
ALBANY — Things are about to change for the high-energy Albany band Unbreakable Bloodline.
A best-kept local secret for the better part of three years, UBL are going to expand their fan base exponentially with the release of their self-titled debut album, which will be available at an unveiling concert at the State Theatre Saturday.
"This album — these 14 songs — validates us," Vernon "Chief H" Cruz, one of three MCs who front the hip-hop/rock hybrid six-piece, said before a recent UBL rehearsal at guitarist Dusty Ashberry's Radium Springs-area home. "I listen to a playback now, and I hear each person: I'm reminded of whose idea a particular piece was, who headstronged what song.
"These songs are a timeline of all the things we've been through to get to this point."
Unbreakable Bloodline's story may not be unique, but it certainly has enough twists and turns to offer a sense of divine intervention — or at least a Stephen King novel — that brought the band members together. Chief H, Tiffany "O'She Tyght" Thomas and Jay "O-Z" Osborne were members of a local hip-hop unit that had its 15 minutes before imploding.
Bassist Ryan Meyers was playing with the hard rock band Echo Valve before running into the trio of MCs at a local function. They hit it off, and Meyers ended up working with Chief H, O'She and O-Z on an acoustic version of one of their songs, "Realize." The four liked what they did together but decided they wanted to flesh the sound out more.
Meyers called on fellow rockers Ashberry and drummer Chad Basko, who had established a regional following with the bands Holley Drive and Drive Down Holley, and the six met up at Ashberry's home. There was immediate magic.
"Everything with the band just kind of happened organically," Ashberry said. "I think for all of us we pretty quickly realized that we could go places musically with UBL that we'd never gone before. We had a very small period of getting to know each other, and things just clicked.
"There's a song on the album, 'Fly Away,' that's built around a guitar riff I wrote 10 years ago. And the chorus is something O'She had written 10 years ago. When we put the two together, it worked."
As the members of UBL discuss their album, it's quickly apparent that the six have a deep-running respect for each other's talent.
"Everyone brings some really amazing stuff to our mix, and you hear it on this album," Basko said. "It's honestly one of the most diverse albums I've ever heard. There are so many flavors — because of the talent of all the people in the band — that there's something for everyone.
"I've been living with these songs for a long time, but I have not taken the CD (of various cuts of the songs on the album) out of my CD player for the last year. I also think it's significant that we can put together an album of 14 hip-hop and rock songs, and there is not one cuss word and not one single use of the n-word."
The album — which also includes such live performance favorites as "Irish Frank" ("That came from a riff I had from back when I was a kid," Ashberry said.), "Good Life City (The Bany)," "War," "Service," "Blood Sweat Tears" and "La La La" — is indeed a sterling showcase of the diverse talents in the band.
"A lot of people form bands with huge intent, but they never follow through," O-Z said. "The sticking point is they can't get product done, can't get their work out there. We took (making the album) as a series of challenges. We had high expectations going into the process, and as soon as we got one challenge done, we'd move on to the next.
"It was amazing the way we worked off each other's concepts and ideas. It was never about 'I want to be out front on this song or that.' We were pushing each other to get things from the other band members that we wanted to hear."
Meyers, a creative artist who designed the band's familiar logo and the art packaging for "Unbreakable Bloodline" — as well as the unique bodies of his guitars — said the genre-defying quality of the 14 songs on the album is intentional.
"It's a jam-up album because of that," the bassist said. "It doesn't matter what genre of music you generally listen to, if you listen to this album you're going to be able to find something you like. That wasn't necessarily planned, but that's the way we approach our music.
"I think the thing that pleases me most about the album is that it's one you can pop in and listen to all the way through. You might have favorites, but I think all 14 songs are quality songs."
UBL's album release gathering, which will include performances by opening act Another Alien Astronaut — yet another excellent local band in the final stages of preparing its debut album — and surprise special guests, will kick off at 8 p.m. at the downtown State Theatre. Tickets for the 18-over show are only $5, and copies of UBL's album, as well as other band merchandise, will be available. (The album will also be available on iTunes, amazon.com, reverbnation.com and cdbaby.com.)
Also planned is a raffle for a new Godin Art & Lutherie acoustic guitar, provided by event sponsor Godin. Other sponsors include The Athlete's Foot, Then & Now Boutique, Basko Tactical Gear (B.T.G.) and Xcel drum sticks. The band has inked sponsorship deals with Godin and Xcel.
"This is going to be a release concert, not a party," Basko said. "We're going all-out to put on a show ... lights, quality sound, everything."
Fans who have been with UBL from the beginning will note the growth of the band as they listen to "Unbreakable Bloodline."
"The finished product is just awesome," O'She Tyght said. "When I take a step back and look at it, I'm really amazed at where this thing has taken us. From a hip-hop group with Vernon and Jay, we've been able to take our music and translate it into an entirely different arena, to become a legitimate live band. That's really amazing from a creative and a business standpoint.
"We've got an album that truly is a reflection of all our talents. You can sit down and listen to all the little tidbits, everything from all six members of the band. It's been an amazing process to get to this point, but we're just getting started. We still have so much more we can do."

ATLANTA — Southwest Georgia will definitely be in the house at the Buckhead Theater on June 8 when the 2013 GA Music Awards are handed out.#No less than five artists from the immediate area are among the nominees for the second edition of the statewide awards, given to fan-selected artists in a number of musical genres.
"We feel that our new album (which will be unveiled at a release concert Saturday) validates us as artists, and receiving a statewide nomination for the GA Music Awards validates us beyond our geographical boundaries," Vernon "Chief H" Cruz with the Albany-based fusion hip-hop/rock band Unbreakable Bloodline, said of the nomination.
UBL received a GMA nomination in the Hip-Hop Group/Band category and will compete for fan voting with fellow nominees Clan Destined, Jubee & the Morning After, Brothers Under Different Skin, Kid Sync & Brandywine, and Tizzle & Streets.
"We'll have an opportunity to play a big showcase (at Atlanta's Terminal West Club) featuring all the hip-hop nominees before the awards are given," UBL drummer Chad Basko said. "It's going to get us a lot of exposure. We're looking at it as another stepping stone as we continue to move forward."
The six members of Unbreakable Bloodline — Cruz, Basko, Ryan Meyers, Tiffany "O'She Tyght" Thomas, Jay "O-Z" Osborne and Dusty Ashberry — will see plenty of familiar faces at the GMA ceremony. Cole Taylor (Country Male), Faith Jackson (Country Female), Highway 55 (Country Band) and Caitlin Gutierrez (Youth Rock/Country and Youth Video), all of whom are from the metro Albany area or have close ties here, are also among the nominees.
Highway 55, which was named best country band at last year's Georgia Country Awards, will compete against Reluctant Saints, Laughlin, Lyn Averne, Georgia Red Clay, Brock, Southside of the Tracks and Cottonwood Canyon. Taylor, who also was a 2012 GCA winner, will compete against Tyler Brant Harrison, Ricky Gunn, Ben Wells, Alex Hall, Chuck Courtenay, Jared Wade and Scott Brantley.
Jackson, who joins fellow nominees Mandy Gauley, Angela Reign, Lauren Ashley, Kelly Ballard, Amy Taylor, Crista Lyn and Rebecca Collins in the Country Female category, and Gutierrez continue Leesburg's strong country music legacy with their nominations.
Gutierrez will compete against Athens Band, Gabbie Rae, Emily Vance, Jordan Grassi, Aspen Countrymen, Cheyenne Knight, Katie Belle Akin and Madison Shaw in the youth category, and her "Country Air" video vies for honors over works by J'Plus the Entertainer, Rae, Vance and Miss Mulatto.

Re: Mapping Data
Hi Othman,
If I understand your question, you want to change the temperature
radially and keep the same value for all angles.
Here is an example:
T = Table[Exp[-x], {x, 0, 1, 0.1}];
R = Table[x, {x, 0, 1, 0.1}];
fun = ListInterpolation[T, {R}];
ContourPlot[fun[Norm[{x, y}]], {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}]
This will give some warnings because the PlotRange is recangular and we
extrapolate the function in the corners.
Sincerely, Daniel

Since its formation in January 2012, the chapter has organized numerous networking events with top-tier business professionals and academics held in Washington DC, New York City, San Francisco, and here in Boston. In February 2013, the group held the first Crisis Game event, an inter-school competition that challenges students' knowledge of economics, finance and market regulation. The event provides excellent networking opportunities and prizes in the form of internships.
The mission of the Brandeis IBS NABE Chapter is to align students' interest in the field of business economics with useful resources to help them prepare for a strong career.
Events and Highlights
Key events and activities connected to Brandeis NABE include:
- NABE Annual Convention
- International Summit for Careers in Economics
- Washington, DC Industry Trek
- The Crisis Game at Brandeis IBS
- Networking events and guest speaker series with prominent business economists
In the 2015-2016 academic year, the Brandeis NABE chapter hosted the 4th Annual NABE Crisis Game featuring teams from Brandeis IBS, Columbia University, George Washington University and Tufts University. The event featured prominent judges from supranational organizations such as the IMF, St. Louis Fed, and more. The prize for winning team members included a summer internship opportunity from IHS.

Dungeons of Dredmor - Quick Word on Difficulty
by Dhruin, 2011-04-26 22:46:27
There's a short Dredmor update that talks about difficulty levels in this should-be-released-soon graphical roguelike:
To lay it right out, there are three difficulty levels. The thinking on each:
- Easy
This is for the more casual player who is interested in exploring and enjoying the non-crunchy content of the game. I should say though, "casual" does not mean "Bejeweled"; the dungeon certainly does fight back and you'll have to pay attention on any difficulty level. This one is just more forgiving.
- Medium
This is the baseline which I'm balancing the other levels against and how I usually test the game while choosing random skills (which are not necessarily optimal). There should be reasonable difficulty and the game should be winnable at this level with any chosen skill set … and enough inside knowledge of game mechanics. Some character builds will probably be pretty rough though, like the ley-line walking, blood-magic-using non-spellcaster who specializes in both shields and dual wield.
- Hard
This is for players who want to die. Repeatedly. I want to make this very difficult even for myself with said inside knowledge. Insane fans should have to exploit game mechanics to beat the game. No doubt this is the sort of thing that the classic roguelike game is all about.
These are all produced by tweaking variables in a file appropriately named "tweakDB.xml" which contains entries for a large number of variables from "minimum horde size" to "bbq chance". Naturally you can edit these as you see fit, for example to change the "tooltip border size" to different values for each difficulty level, if that was something you think is sorely needed in Dredmor.

I'm not going to ream my own dies - I don't believe my mini-lathe is up to the task and I really don't want to risk damaging the reamer or the dies. My luck I'd end up reaming the die out of round and wonder why all my case necks aren't concentric.
I'll make some calls later this week to get some quotes.

On the final day of the financial year when a bankrupt State Government - including now silent Green Cabinet members - is giving Gunns more of our money to keep it afloat while jobs and schools disappear, it is interesting to note what was written years before predicting this ...
A growing weight of financial analysis suggests that the economics of plantations (with which native forests are being replaced), dependent on global pulp prices rising, are not assured but are a huge gamble for Tasmania, whose government, as the Australian Financial Review put it, has 'tied the state's economic future to the success of Gunns and its tree farms'.
from Richard Flanagan, Gunns. Out of Control, May 2007: On Tasmanian Times, HERE
• ABC Online: Government defends mill loan:
The Tasmanian Government has defended the approval of a loan to a local company to buy Gunns' Triabunna woodchip mill.
The Government has provisionally approved the loan to help Fibre Plus fund the mill's purchase but several conditions must be met before the loan is finalised.
Economic Development Minister David O'Byrne told a budget estimates hearing Fibre Plus met two of his staff on June 7th, four days after first approaching his office for financial support.
The family-owned company then met department representatives who helped put a case together to take to the Tasmanian Economic Development Board.
Mr O'Byrne would not say why the Government approved the loan.
The Greens' Tim Morris asked Mr O'Byrne if he was satisfied Fibre Plus had a market.
"Can you inform me as to whether that market is one that involves woodchips or wood pellets?"
Mr O'Byrne said the board had made a rigorous assessment of the loan.
"I'm not going to speculate on market, or potential market or not."
Mr O'Byrne signed off on the board's recommendation to approve the loan last Wednesday.
It is understood the Premier and Treasurer Lara Giddings followed suit earlier this week.
Mr O'Byrne could not give detail on security being offered on the loan and said it would be inappropriate to detail the loan amount.
The owners of Fibre Plus say the loan makes up a small part of the undisclosed sale price of the mill.
Mr O'Byrne says it is not unusual for businesses to approach the Government for a loan.
"We get approaches virtually every day seeking government support."
Earlier this month, Gunns told the Australian stock exchange it expected to finalise the sale yesterday, depending on the 'satisfactory progress' of the forest peace deal
• Examiner: Timber group rejects forest agreement:
30 Jun, 2011 08:36 AM
A MAJOR signatory to the state's forestry industry statement of principles started advising its members yesterday that it would not sign the agreement released last week.
Timber Communities Australia Tasmanian manager Barry Chipman said late yesterday that the decision had been made after a massive response from members.
The agreement, the result of months of negotiations based on the statement of principles, was released by facilitator Bill Kelty.
"We are not saying that we are walking away from the forest talks and that we won't sign an agreement in the future, but my board can't sign it at the moment," Mr Chipman said.
He refused to say which areas of the agreement caused problems for his group.
WSJ: Protection looms for MIS creditors
• ABC Online: Gunns' returns in bottom 10
Tasmanian timber company Gunns has ended the financial year in CommSec's bottom 10 for sharemarket returns.
Gunns is yet to secure a financial backer for its $2.3 billion pulp mill and is selling assets to finance the Tamar Valley project.
It has been listed in CommSec's bottom 10 companies on the ASX 200 for the 2010-11 financial year.
Financial analyst Matthew Torenius says it has been a tough 12 months for the company, with the high Australian dollar and tight markets providing the biggest challenges.
Mr Torenius says Gunns is in debt reduction mode.
"You've seen Gunns currently trading at new record lows at around 26, 27 cents," he said.
Earlier this week, Gunns confirmed more than 100 workers could be out of a job by the end of the month if buyers can not be found for five sites across the state.

Have owned eight BMW's over the years, but our recent purchase of a '13 535i was the first BMW that we've purchased new. Lot of hesitation about buying new, but working with Greg on the ED delivery process was an absolutely positive experience. Working with someone that's experienced in the ED process is such an added plus, I don't even know where to start- as a funny aside, I had stopped at an Audi dealer several months ago to inquire about their ED program, and the salesperson gave me a puzzled look and then proceeded to ask me why I would want to buy and take delivery of a car here in CA, then have it shipped to Germany...oye!
With Greg-as mentioned above, he's had lot's of experience with the ED process, great communication with me throughout the entire process, very fair pricing offered that required ZERO negotiation/haggling, no BS when it came time to sit down and settle-up on the purchase transaction. Oh, and the dealership made me a more-than fair offer for my '06 M5 that I ended-up selling to them two months after purchasing the new 535i.
Bottom line- you can't go wrong working with Greg! Highly recommended, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him in the future on another ED delivery.

365.2 - My Toys For The Day
I started building a fence for my girl's front yard today and these were the toys I got to play with while doing just that. She decided to go with the Oz Posts instead of using concrete for the posts, which seemed to be a good idea in theory but I quickly discovered today that they don't work so well in rocky areas of town. Namely, the part of town in which she lives. After pounding all 10 of them in I ended up driving back to the lumber yard, a quick 25 minute trip one way, to borrow their Oz Post Puller because 4 or 5 of them were in crooked. Needless to say, I didn't get quite as far as I had planned with the project today but there is always tomorrow. For today, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

The Scouting Report
The Missouri Rhythm take the court for the 2013–2014 American Basketball Association season, ready to impose their basketball skills onto fellow semi-pro teams. Before clashing with in-state rivals the St. Louis Scorpions in the December 7 home opener, the Rhythm will play a pair of exhibitions against the Disciples of Christ and Livin the Dream, games that will give them an opportunity to experiment with new plays or lineups based on which players have the same favorite color.

The Missouri Rhythm

Though this incarnation of the ABA has no affiliation with the now-defunct ABA—which merged with the NBA decades ago—it still celebrates basketball on a nationwide and local level. In addition to league competition, the Rhythm foster a basketball community with skill development programs and basketball camps for local youths.

Nice to see the ESB cape!

Nice to see the ESB cape!
I love that they're doing the Super Trooper as a mailaway offer.
So cool!
My money says it'll be an ESB repaint with dents, wrong flamethrower, and no spats or a ROTJ so that in order for them to get the spats, it'll have the wrong belt.
But I'm sure it'll still have dents either way.
I love after all the work on the armor, they got lazy on the gun and just slapped a flash tube on an uzi barrel. lol.
So is it gonna b mailaway or in stores?
Yeah, Im more excited for the mail away. the other figure is just a repack with a cape and repacked speeder bike. The mail away will be nice. Mauddib is probably right, they are likely just going to repaint the exisitng ESB Boba Fett figure but, it will still be cool.
Sweet! Love that pic of the pre pre pro.
Hopefully they will make a new flamer for the left gaunt
anyone having trouble finding a figure with the sticker and redeem form? the hasbro site only has a sample of the form no an actual download. got my upcs and no form.
I haven't seen anything for it yet. I have seen several that have last years sticker on it crossed out, but that is it.
The figure does indeed come with dents...
Attachment 55953
I have never even seen a card with the mail away offer for that figure. we still have the expired ones on the toys at all the stores here for the spring loaded jet pack boba.
I wonder if the cape has the beach towel art work

Wrinkly-Spreader fitness in the two-dimensional agar plate microcosm: maladaptation, compensation and ecological success
Item TypeArticle
MetadataShow full item record
Bacterial adaptation to new environments often leads to the establishment of new genotypes with significantly altered phenotypes. In the Wrinkly Spreader (WS), ecological success in static liquid microcosms was through the rapid colonisation of the air-liquid interface by the production of a cellulose-based biofilm. Rapid surface spreading was also seen on agar plates, but in this two-dimensional environment the WS appears maladapted and rapidly reverts to the ancestral smooth (SM)-like colony genotype. In this work, the fitness of WS relative to SM in mixed colonies was found to be low, confirming the WS instability on agar plates. By examining defined WS mutants, the maladaptive characteristic was found to be the expression of cellulose. SM-like revertants had a higher growth rate than WS and no longer expressed significant amounts of cellulose, further confirming that the expression of this high-cost polymer was the basis of maladaptation and the target of compensatory mutation in developing colonies. However, examination of the fate of WS-founded populations in either multiple-colony or single mega-colony agar plate microcosms demonstrated that the loss of WS lineages could be reduced under conditions in which the rapid spreading colony phenotype could dominate nutrient and oxygen access more effectively than competing SM/SM-like genotypes. WS-like isolates recovered from such populations showed increased WS phenotype stability as well as changes in the degree of colony spreading, confirming that the WS was adapting to the two-dimensional agar plate microcosm.

Early Voting
Monday was the first day of early voting. This year's early voter turn out exceeded previous election numbers. In 2004 more than 16 thousand people voted early in Alachua County. Today alone they had one quarter of that total.
With the election still two weeks away some people are trying to catch the early bird-voting special.
For one voter this day couldn't come any sooner.
Florence Garcia of Gainesville made it a day out with her friends... managing to avoid the lines and crowds expected on November 4th.
Alachua County Supervisor of Elections Pamela Carpenter explains its an efficient way of getting the job done.
"At least 300 voters showed up today to vote early at the downtown location at the Millhoper location there's already been 400 so far, now for one Alachua county supervisor she says this is the greatest turn out in years."
The turnout today has been strong in North Central Florida. Thousands of voters have already cast their ballot.
Voting officials are hoping that this strong turn out continues in the days leading up to the election.
Carpenter expects 50,000 people to vote in Alachua County on election day.

I wish I had made entries here when Nina was still on this Earth, and by my side. But now it is June 6th, and it was on June 2nd, 2009, that I was with Nina as she went to heaven. I didn't know about the Diary here. So now that I'm going through all these 'firsts' without her, (first time coming home, mowing the lawn, driving by a park, sitting outside), I saw this poem yesterday, and maybe it will give some comfort to others like it has to me.
Whispers from Heaven
When I left this world without you
I know it made you blue.
Your tears fell so freely,
I watched: I know this is true.
While you were weeping,
Days after I passed away –
While all was silent within me,
I saw you kneel to pray.
From this wonderful place called heaven
Where all my pain is gone,
I send a gentle breeze to whisper,
"My loved ones, please go on."
The peace that I have found here
Goes far beyond compare.
No rain, no clouds, no suffering –
Just LOVE from everywhere.
You need not be troubled
Just stay close to God in prayer
Someday we'll be reunited My love,
His love surrounds you always, Everywhere
(I don't know the author, but I found the poem at Abbey Press.

But CGNU, which will adopt its controversial new name on 1 July, was held back by its performance on the Continent, where overall sales rose just 6% to £220m.
Sales of life and pension products dropped 10% in France to £58m and were 18% lower in the Netherlands at £13m. The figures were also hit by lacklustre ISA sales as the weak share market prompted investors to stay away from equity-related products.
Chief executive Richard Harvey said that sales from the group's so-called bancassurance arrangements had leapt 90% to £540m in the quarter. 'These results demonstrate continued momentum as we build on the strong foundations laid in 2001,' he said.
Commerzbank analyst Roman Cizdyn, who had forecast an underlying sales figure of £670m, said the group's bancassurance deals, such as its joint venture with Royal Bank of Scotland, would bear more fruit this year. 'CGNU is one of the best-placed life companies in the UK since it has scale and diverse distribution,' he said.
CGNU directors came under fire from shareholders at the insurer's recent annual meeting over plans to slash the dividend by 40% and change its name to Aviva, which many believe will be confused with bus company Arriva.
Investors also queued to complain about the group's decision to cut the payout at the same time as awarding directors significant pay rises.
CGNU's arch-rival Prudential cheered the City last week with a better-than-expected rise of 26% in underlying sales for the first three months of the year. It overcame a 20% fall in ISA sales with strong demand for its withprofit policies, individual annuities and pensions.Reuse content
