Re: Build a Swing Keel from Scratch - ''74 Helsen 20'' Sloop
This picture is four days later so I would have sanded and put on some more glass on the second day and this would be two days later after some more sanding. I typically waited two days after a layup to sand.
I wanted to test my boat rather than wait until everything was perfect. I had to cut about 3/4" off the length of the aluminum so it would fit within the length of the slot. I wasn't sure of the exact length until I had it in the slot and obviously I couldn't drill the hole until I knew the length. I drilled a hole and sanded the corners off so that the end was round. I found that the piece was a bit thicker than the swagged fitting on the end of the cable so I did sand some more to make it thinner. The last picture is with the cable attached.
Re: Build a Swing Keel from Scratch - ''74 Helsen 20'' Sloop
Here you can see that I've sanded off more of the polyester resin. I've also cut a piece from the aluminum stock. I used the original strap as a guide for the holes. However I did still have to adjust the holes a bit to get them to line up. You can also see where I did put some small notches and grooves in the aluminum to give it a little more grip on the fiberglass.
Basically, I mixed up a batch of epoxy thickened with fumed silica (petrified snow). I put down a layer over the lead both to glue the aluminum to it and to fill in the slight unevenness of the surface. Then I put the screws into the holes in the aluminum and hand tightened them with a screwdriver. I just wanted them snug.
Then I did a sequence of batches of epoxy and layups over the aluminum. I think the next picture is after three 3 ounces batches of epoxy with a number of layers of glass fabric.

Solid aluminum plate would not be heavy enough. At only 58% of the necessary density my 80 lb keel, for example, would only weigh 46 lbs.
If you want it ultra cheap, I would try ferro-cement first
painted with epoxy I think it could last forever
My centerboard retracts into a slot so it isn't easy to inspect either when in the water or when on the trailer.
Re: Build a Swing Keel from Scratch - ''74 Helsen 20'' Sloop
I estimate the original hard attachment as 1/16" x 5/8" stainless steel. I did buy a stainless steel eye-bolt but I changed my mind since it would tend to concentrate the forces when pulled to the side.
Since none of the hardware stores carry stainless stock, I decided to use aluminum which is readily available. I bought this piece at my local hardware store. It is 1/4" x 1" aluminum. It appears stiff enough to me to avoid cracking the end as the old piece did. Obviously I'll use more glass fabric to attach it rather than just lots of polyester resin like the old design. I bought new pan head stainless screws to attach it to the lead plate. The original used two flat head and one pan head. However, since the stainless strap wasn't deep enough for countersinking the flat head screws didn't serve any purpose in stabilizing the piece. I mostly want to replace the screws just to make sure that any end force is not relying entirely on adhesion from the epoxy. I could possibly groove the aluminum for extra grip.
Re: Build a Swing Keel from Scratch - ''74 Helsen 20'' Sloop
I used a belt sander with coarse grit to remove part of the end of the centerboard. You might wonder how I knew which side to sand since the lead weight is not centered. Basically, I sanded on the side where it was cracked.
You can see that the original embedded stainless strap was too thin. It bent like a pretzel under load from the winch.
The dark gray is regular fiberglass. The light gray is nothing but polyester resin.
They used stainless steel screws to attach the strap to the lead weighting before it was covered.
You can tell that it is lead because I can easily scratch it with my fingernail.
This hard attachment point will have to be replaced with something sturdier. What you can't see here is how the end of the centerboard cracked due to stresses from the strap. This apparently happened both because the flexible strap allowed forces to concentrate at the tip and because the fiberglass was not thick enough. For example, I don't believe that any polyester filler should have been used within the span of the strap.

In any event, I now need to build a new one. According to other owners I''ve located, the original swing keel was only 100 pounds, but it is 56 inches long, approximately 10 inches deep, and 1.5 inches wide and looks like a simple daggerboard.
My keel weighs 80 lbs. This is not from a manual; I weighed it.
You can see that it is 56 inches long.
It is 10" wide.
It is 1 3/8" (1.375") thick.
It is a simple center board with rounded nose and tapered trailing edge.
I estimate the density at about 90% heavier than concrete or about 60% of solid iron. I will probably have to repair the cable attachment point because it is a simple embedded flat metal strap that has been bent several times. I would probably replace this with a stainless steel eye-bolt. Obviously if I strip the end to fix the strap I'll find out what the interior is underneath the fiberglass. I agree that it must have lead of some kind to increase the weight.
I've wondered how strong the stock keel might be. Finding out what the interior is made of might show how strong is. This could possibly help if someone else with a Helsen design needs a keel repair or replacement.
Helsen 20
I have completed restore just missing paint !I also have a spare mast in St.Pete Florida
Have a great day
Swing Keel
Hello I am new to this forum and new to sailing as well. I have Macgregor 25 which I just launched for the first time. Believe it or not as I was lowering the keel the winch lock gave out and the keel free fell. There must have been a crack by the pivot bolt because the keel is now at the bottom of the River. I am having trouble finding a replacement keel. Is it possible to use a different keel that would fit on my boat. Thanks in advance.
|I dunno much about Helsen 20's but I own a 1983 Hunter 20 since July of '08 and have had to re-bed the plate that holds the pin for the keel and replace the bolts. I managed to do this with the boat on the trailer though I don't recommend doing it that way. The Hunter 20 is a nice little boat that weighs about 1700 lbs with 400 of that in the iron swing keel...A good boat for 2-3 people to camp on but really ideal for one to camp in comfort. My 5hp tohatsu pushes it along real well and I just took it a mile and a half out into the Gulf of Mexico yesterday...with a good eye on the weather I am going to go 3 miles next time to a reef. That will be my limit most likely.
Thanks for photos

Check out the CZ75 family. More carry options than almost any other gun.
Is it possible to get a DA/SA gun with a safety ONLY (no decocker)?
HK variant 9 and 10 on the USP implies that this is possible from the descriptions I have read...
Would that be similar to your average DAO safety gun cocked and loaded? From what I understand, many people want the DAO just because those guns are READY TO GO in an instant...and you still get the lighter trigger pull at your fingertips (no pun intended).
I guess what I am saying is that most people who dislike the DA/SA guns dislike them because of the two different trigger pull resistances. If you want to turn your DA/SA into a DA gun...then all you need to do is cock the hammer...and them poof...just like that, it is a DA gun. Since most of them seem to come with a decocker, there is no way to put a safety on the gun and keep it cocked at the same time. I personally do not like to be cocked and loaded ready to fire without a safety. But most guns seem to integrate the decocker and safety into the same mechanism.
Does the USP Variant 9 and 10 get around this? If so, it may be the best of both worlds, and in being so...it may deserve another look from me...
Variant 1 DA/SA with control lever (safety/decocking lever) on left
Variant 2 DA/SA with control lever (safety/decocking lever) on right
Variant 3 DA/SA with control lever (decocking lever) on left
Variant 4 DA/SA with control lever (decocking lever) on right
Variant 5 DAO with control lever (safety lever) on left
Variant 6 DAO with control lever (safety lever) on right
Variant 7 DAO with no control lever
Variant 9 DA/SA with control lever (safety lever) on left
Variant 10 DA/SA with control lever (safety lever) on right

I THINK there is a way to disable the decocker. When I first got my USP, I thought I read of a way on HKpro.
Go ask over at www.hkpro.com - Or, do a search first (they hate it there when someone posts a question first w/o searching). U will probably have to register there before it lets U search, however. It took me a while to get registered there because I never got their comfirmation e-mail....
Good luck...
You can pull the hammer back on the USP and put on the safety, completely bypassing the decocker and double-action stuff.
If that's what you mean. It's a neat feature that none of the other autos seem to have.
The USP variant 9 /10 do not decock the hammer. You can change a variant 1/2 to this configuration by changing the detent plate, an easy operation.
Position 1: Safety ON and Decocked
Position 2: Safety ON and Cocked
Position 3: Safety OFF and ready to fire...
BTW, what does the safety do? Does it simply prevent the trigger from being pulled, or does it block the path between the hammer and the firing pin...or does it do both? I of course would prefer both...
You can change the plate so the gun functions like the 1911 except you still can have a DA pull if for some reason a round does not fire. You an also get the LEM trigger where there is no lever what so ever and functions like a glock.
I must confess to not keeping up w/ the varients. I think I have varient 1. Standard DA/SA w/ the safety on the right side.
The gun can be cocked and locked like a 1911. U can keep the safety on whether the hammer is down or up. U can activate the decocker whether the hammer is down or up (obviously, if the hammer is already dropped, the decocker does nothing - but you CAN push the safety into that position. U can DISASSEMBLE the gun with the safety in safe or fire positions (something many guns don't do)
When U push the safety into the fire position (down) - if U continue to push it further, then it decocks and springs back up to the fire position.
I think the HK has been elevated back to the top of my list...maybe...maybe not.
After handling the Sig 226 at the store, it became evident that it has a decocker ONLY. There is no external safety on teh Sigs at all.
I must say though that I really like the decocker on that gun...it SLOWLY returns the hammer back into position, unlike the PX4...
The HK seems to have all the features I am looking for...
BTW, I am confident that I want the 9mm. After shooting both the 9mm and the .40 cal...it was pretty obvious to me that the 9mm is what I need. The accuracy difference between the two were astounding to me.
Oh and Shipwreck...I handled a Walther model at the store. I really liked how you can re-cock that gun without ejecting the bullet in the chamber...it only takes like half an inch (or less) of slide movement to recock that gun.
I've always wondered if a traditional DA with slide-mounted decocking safety could be modified to have the decocking function removed.
That's how I keep my compact USP.
And, I'd swear seeing some instructions on HK pro a while back - for a way to remove the docker ability. I think it involved changing out a plate inside the gun. But, some people ride the safety w/ their thumb, and they didn't want to decock the gun accidentally.
Actually - I've had my USPc almost a year now - and I rarely ever use the decock feature, as its just left cocked and locked...
Well, I am wishy washy now on the whole subject. The HK has all the functionality I want/need, but the grips (handle) seem to be where this model doesn't shine. The Sig is perfect except for the lack of an external safety.
I'll of course have to hold them again and again a few more times...
I want the HK USP with a much better grip style...is it possible to put grips on the HK? I don't see any mounting screws built into the handle...
Maybe I'll just get the Walther...
No, the HK is like the Glock, Walther P99, XD, etc. Its a polymer framed gun. It is 1 piece.
But, U can buy a Hogue handall - a rubber piece U slide over the grip - it gives your hand more traction.
Look at the USP compact - the grip isn't as fat or as wide front to back as the fullsize USPs. I had to get rid of my fullsize USp because it was just too big to hold comfortably 1 handed. The USP compact is fine, however.
Here is a pic from a fellow members USP with that handall I mentioned above...
you mentioned that with a da/sa you can cock the gun and you as you call "poof" have a double action ,thats not true if you cock it then poof it's in single action not double.
I have a copy of the USP Armorers Manual. I THINK it describes how to disable the decocker. I haven't read it in a long while and like my decocker function on my USPs. I'm sure one could order whatever variant they would like.
Once cocked, most single action guns behave like double action guns.
The way I try to remember it...is how many actions does it take from the shooter to get the gun to fire? If a single action, then all you do is pull the trigger. If double action, then it takes two steps before you can fire. First you cock the gun, and then you pull the trigger.
With a DA/SA gun, if you cock it, it will behave just like a DAO gun in that the trigger pull is much lighter than the SA equivalent.
For those who do not like DA/SA guns because of the two different trigger pull requirements...I suggest that you find a gun with an external safety of some kind, so you can have the best of all worlds.
A DA/SA gun cocked and locked may as well be a DAO gun cocked and locked. The only difference now is that if the bullet fails to fire, you can pull the trigger again instead of re-cocking. The problem seems to be that there are not many DA/SA guns out there with a safety. If they do have a safety, it usually acts like a decocker, and that prevents you from being cocked and locked.
The HK USP seems to be the solution to this. It is a DA/SA gun with a safety and decocker. The key with this gun is that you can have the safety on without decocking the pistol. So far, I think this is the ONLY one I have found. Thanks to Shipwreck for helping me locate it.
My choices are now between the HK USP and the Sig 226 both in the 9mm flavor. I have found a rediculously low price on the Sig 226 with Crimson Trace online. If I cannot obtain that gun at that price, I may go with the HK instead. The price on that Sig is too good to pass up though...so as of now, the Sig remains my top choice.
I went to wikipedia, and that straightened me out.
One question...I have always been under the assumption that Glocks were DAO...and by that assumption...I deduced that DAO means you have to cock the gun before it will fire. Then, I deduced that Single Action means the opposite...so it does not need to be cocked...
I know now that I was backwards...but tell me this...are Glocks DAO?

Should be an easy fix, follow these steps:
CyberShot, What @font-face kit are you using? Google web fonts, font-squirrel, etc.? It should never stop working just because of refreshes.
Also, it looks like the time frames don't match up.
My Site Template is a Weekly Top Seller in comparison to ALL the files.
But it somehow isn't listed in the Site Templates weekly top sellers?
Just pointing out the time-frames are different and it's a bit confusing. Once that's sorted, it looks like a good addition .
You won't find one exactly like that website, however there are plenty of photography templates too choose from:
Site Templates:
WordPress Themes:
You should find one that has both a similar style and features. Good luck.
It kind of reminds me of this WordPress Theme:
Also jump into this discussion, authors always like good feedback:
Buyers, what you like/want/need to be designed/developed?
That's a lot of exclamation keys Did you try contacting the author? That's usually the easiest route.
byJaie, it's an okay start but I think you need to add some more details and refine the design before coding it.
It looks it a bit bland in it's current state and some of the elements like below the slider look a bit empty. Also, I think your line-height on your two middle paragraphs is a bit too small as the rest of everything else is so spread out. Maybe add some of the accent orange in the header area and navigation as that part is very dull. Lastly, the three bottom images might be a bit too large or just colorful (They were the first things my eyes went to).
I think starting with an HTML template is a good call. Too many people start with WordPress themes and get frustrated with rejections. It will probably take a few rejections to get accepted, just keep revising it.
Good luck
Select the CMS Drupal and sends to TF. Although it's a bit naughty that they are selling it here and giving away WordPress version on their site.
Looks pretty handy and much easier to than explaining to newbie buyers what shortcodes are.
Don't forget to "double dip" and submit that to Code Canyon as a WordPress plugin.

Letter to the Editor: Don't misread lessons from history
Having recently read several letters to this editorial page, I was slightly amused by the lack of historical and factual insight within some of the missives.
Tom Smith's letter ("Don't taxpayers already pay enough?" Feb. 12) asks if the taxpayers pay enough and a chorus of many would answer with a resounding "yes."
But really? Have we all forgotten the numerous tax cuts that continue to benefit the wealthiest among us? Have we forgotten the tax credits to corporations that allow for soaring profits and offshore accounts? If the majority of taxpayers pay more than their fair share, then how about the select few?
And then there is the argument that this nation was founded upon religious freedom. Indeed, the Pilgrims did come for religious freedom as did the Puritans, Huguenots, Catholics, Baptists, etc.
Not all of those groups were tolerant of one another. The most tolerant was our own Pennsylvania, when William Penn, a Quaker, offered refuge for many religious groups. Later those who founded this country would ensure separation of church and state so that citizens could choose to practice as they saw fit.
Since Thomas Jefferson has been quoted in the past, here is one of Jefferson's most famous quotes, written in 1802 to a Baptist association in Connecticut: "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."
And finally, the burning issue that took the colonists to war and to independence was … gasp! … taxation. What the rebels demanded was taxation with representation, which today would certainly also be translated as equity and fairness in tax laws.
History needs to be studied to understand how much can be left out of pure political arguments.

Live Commentary
That's it from me folks, it's been a pleasure.
The French connection comes through for the Magpies once again. Gouffran and Sissoko struck either side of Brunt's lone effort for WBA to send Newcastle provisionally up to fifth after their fourth straight win.
90' + 5'SubstitutionMoussa Sissoko Papiss Cissé
90' + 5'That's it!
90' + 4'Cabaye wins a free kick, and Newcastle will use this opportunity to make some subs. The seconds being eaten up here, and that may just be that.
90' + 2'Jones escapes another penalty call as Sissoko goes forward on a break and tees up Cabaye at the top of the box. The Frenchman's strike hits the defender near the arm, but once again Phil Dowd opts against awarding an infraction.
90'Four added minutes to go.
89'Yellow Card Y. Mulumbu
88'SubstitutionMorgan Amalfitano Zoltán Gera
88'Mulumbu booked for pulling back Sissoko, and will now be suspended for the next game after his fifth yellow card.
86'Into the last five minutes of this one, a time period where Newcastle haven't conceded a goal all season. Pardew and Co. set for their fourth win on the bounce.
84'Remy has been withdrawn for Anita. Pardew looking to close this one out, and puts in the versatile Dutch midfielder to help shore things up.
83'SubstitutionLoïc Remy Vurnon Anita
82'Some urgency abut WBA now, but it's not helping their cause any, as their rush to get the ball forward simply results in some over ambitious punts that Newcastle can mop up easily.
80'Berahino is dispossessed by Sissoko, and the midfielder nearly wriggles his way into a clean run at goal, but a combination of three WBA players snuff out the chance.
78'Brunt and Sessegnon off, and Berahino and Anichebe on. Bold move by Steve Clarke, who has thrown all his cards on the table.
77'SubstitutionStéphane Sessegnon Victor Anichebe
76'SubstitutionChris Brunt Saido Berahino
76'A thumper from Cabaye is right down the throat of Myhill, who smothers with a little difficulty. Good strong effort.
74'Brunt has a decent shooting opportunity after a long pass from Olsson, but fails to find the target.
72'Handball appeal against West Brom as Santon's cross hits Ridgewell near the arm, but it would have been a very harsh call. The ref did well to let that slide.
70'That goal incidentally was Sissoko's first since February 2013, which came against Southampton.
68'Newcastle doing very well to take the sting out of West Brom's tail since Sissoko's goal, and are frustrating the opposition by keeping the ball efficiently.
66'Amazingly, Brunt's goal is the only shot on target that West Brom have had - all game. We're nearly into the last quarter of the game.
63'Ameobi does what he does best, holding off his man and chesting a deep pass effortlessly back to Remy. He strikes it from the top of the area, but misses the target.
61'Never mind his wonder goal, SIssoko has been inspirational for Nnwcastle in this game. His driving runs forward from the centre of the park and strength on the ball have set up and rescued many a Magpies attack.
59'After a tepid first half, we suddenly have a rip roaring game on our hands! Both sides are gunning for it!
57'Assist Loïc Remy
57'Goal Moussa Sissoko
STUNNER! if Brunt's goal was a thumper, then this was straight out of the cannon! Picking the ball up 25 yards from goal, the midfielder catches it perfectly, and snipes the ball into the top corner! What a goal!
55'After all that promise from Newcastle, the find themselves back at square one. And they have to keep their focus too, as West Brom look to press home their momentum from that goal.
53'Assist Shane Long
53'Goal Chris Brunt
Absolutely smashing finish from Brunt! The cross cones in from the right, and it may have taken the slightest of glances off the head of Long, or it may not have. Regardless, Brunt collects the ball on the left side, and eschews a cross in favor of a vicious finish that nearly bursts the net!
52'Remy really is a shoot on sight type of striker. He weasels into an inch of space on the edge of the box and does not hesitate, letting fly at goal, but it's deflected en route to Myhill.
50'Cabaye is too quick for Brunt who, on a yellow, clatters into him. The referee keeps his cards in his pocket though, and Brunt stays on the pitch.
48'REMY! It nearly fell for him! Morrison's poor giveaway allows the striker in behind, but after struggling to bring the ball under control, Myhill does just enough to snare the ball.
46'Here we go again!
Newcastle leading West Brom 1-0 thanks to Gouffran's goal, his third in as many home games. The hosts have grown into the game as time has wore on, and look good value for their lead. Restart in just a bit, so stick around.
45' + 4'Half time folks.
45' + 3'Brunt with a poor free kick from what was a good position, and that may just be that for the half.
45' + 1'FREE KICK? Cabaye with another incisive pass to Remy, and he turns Olsson well before squaring up to goal. the defender has a slight tug on his shirt though, and Remy goes down in a heap. We've seen shirt tugging called more often this season, but the referee is unmoved. Close shave for West Brom, as Remy probably could have stayed on his feet and had a go on goal.
44'We're hearing that there will be four minutes of time to be added at the end of the half.
42'Tiote needs some treatment, and slinks off to be attended to, as the game takes the briefest of pauses.
40'Ameobi is positioning himself to receive the ball, but Myhill is off his line swiftly to smother at the striker's boots. Confident keeping.
38'A fully warranted opener for the hosts, who have been the more inspiring side in this contest. Gouffran yet another goal, and Newcastle look comfortable.
36'Goal Yoan Gouffran
What a soft, soft goal. Ameobi shadows Myhill on a corner, and the goalkeeper is caught flapping in no man's land as Gouffran prods home from close range!
34'Santon does exceptionally well to gallop forward and catch a seemingly hopeless ball on the left. He whips in a great ball to Remy to boot, but the defence, specifically McAuley, heads clear.
32'Yellow Card Cheikh Tiote
32'Tiote is the next man in the book for persistent fouling, his latest infraction occurring against Morrison.
30'The game being broken into crumbs by a series of untidy fouls in midfield. The referee obliges each time, meaning that play is progressing in fits and starts.
28'Yellow Card Chris Brunt
28'Brunt takes out Sissoko, and we have the first booking of the game.
26'Sessegnon looks primed to break through on the right during an increasingly rare West Brom attack, but Santon anticipates well and comes across to snuff out the threat.
24'Sissoko makes a powerful drive through that increasingly vulnerable central midfield area, and manages to slip in Remy. He shifts onto his right foot and has a go, but it's straight at Myhill.
22'Much better from Newcastle here, who are attacking engagingly through the centre of midfield. WBA struggling to keep up at the moment.
20'REMY! The Frenchman nearly strikes the hosts into the lead, as Sissoko muscles himself into room on the left, and he crosses for Remy at the near post, but Jones makes a crucial intervention to deflect it around the post!
18'Suddenly Newcastle break! Cabaye slips in Remy down the left, but the striker squares up for too long against his man, and loses the ball.
16'Hard to see where a breakthrough will come at this point. It's been very cagey and unambitious from both outfits.
14'Remy drives through the centre, eating up the miles afforded by the WBA midfield. He lets fly from 25 yards, but ultimately drags the effort wide.
12'A minute's standing ovation in the memory of Gary Speed is faithfully observed by all in attendance. The former Wales manager was a loyal servant of the Magpies for many a year.
11'West Brom are looking the more promising side in attack, with Debuchy's left flank in particular looking ripe for exploitation. Long has gotten through more than once.
9'Diego Lugano is spotted going through his paces on the sidelines, as McAuley is looking a little woozy from a heavy collision moments ago.
7'Apart from that Brunt attempt, it's been a real ho hum start to the game. Both sides are clearly still feeling each other out here.
4'Then Krul makes a hash of the resulting corner, as Sessegnon attacks from the keeper's spill, but Sissoko is on the line to prod clear.
3'A WICKED free kick from Brunt is struck with an insane, horseshoe like bend, but Krul is at full stretch to tip it wide!
1'Here we go!
Out come the teams for the pre match formalities as kickoff is minutes away.
Newcastle have won three on the trot, with huge victories against Spurs and Chelsea among their scalps during the run. After a troubling start to the season, the Magpies can provisionally move into fifth place with a win today.
Steve Clarke sees fit to make only one more change than his Newcastle counterpart, as James Morrison and Billy jones step in, and Goran Popov and Stephen Reid bow out.
Just the one change from Alan Pardew, who swaps Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa out for Mathieu Debuchy at the back. Yanga-Mbiwa is joined on the pine by Hatem Ben Arfa and Papiss Cisse, who both will start another match from the sidelines.
WEST BROM SUBS: L Daniels, Popov, Anichebe, Berahino, Lugano, Gera, Yacob.
WEST BROM XI: Myhill; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Mulumbu, Morrisson; Amalfitano, Sessegnon, Brunt; Long.
NEWCASTLE SUBS: Elliot, Yanga-Mbiwa, Anita, Obertan, Sammy Ameobi, Ben Arfa, Cisse.
NEWCASTLE XI: Krul; Debuchy, Williamson, Collocini, Santon; Sissoko, Cabaye, Tiote, Gouffran; Ameobi, Remy.
Hello, and welcome to Newcastle's EPL matchup against West Brom at St James's Park. My name is Keeghann Sinanan, and I'll be your guide for all the action.

PARIS – One of France's leading campaigners for the decriminalization of cannabis on Thursday was given a suspended prison term and fined for possession and use of the drug.
Dominique Broc is the founder of the Cannabis Clubs Francais, a movement that encourages members to grow the herb for their own use and avoid illegal dealers.
The 44-year-old gardener said he will appeal his conviction, which came after police who visited his home in western France found 126 plants and 26 grams of cannabis.
Broc's advocate, Philippe Baron, unsuccessfully attempted to persuade the court that his client's conduct amounted to a legitimate act of civil disobedience.
The campaigner is due back in court May 2 over his failure to respond to a judicial order to disband his federation of cannabis social clubs, which he registered with local authorities in March.
Other branches of the movement quickly followed that lead and have been subjected to similar dissolution procedures.
Broc was given a six-month suspended sentence and a €2,000 ($2,600) fine for the cannabis-related offenses, to which the judge added two months and €500 for his refusal to provide a DNA sample.

Who won the war? Russians take a different view on D-Day
By Mark Trevelyan
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Sitting in the shade on a bench in the center of Moscow, 77-year-old Galina Makarenko pauses for several seconds before delivering her blunt opinion on the Allied D-Day landings of June 6, 1944.
"It helped us a little. But only a little," says the sprightly physicist, who was evacuated from Moscow to Kazakhstan to escape the conflict that Westerners call World War Two and Russians refer to as the Great Patriotic War.
President Vladimir Putin joins the leaders of France, Britain, the United States and Germany to mark the 70th anniversary on Friday of the Normandy landings that opened the western front against Hitler's forces, catching them in a giant pincer movement as Stalin's Red Army pushed them back in the east.
But while many in the West see D-Day as the decisive turning point in the conflict, conversations in the Russian capital on Thursday reflected a widely held view here that the Soviet Union had already turned the tide of the war, in which it lost more than 20 million people, and would have prevailed on its own.
"That is absolutely clear, there's no doubt about that. It would have won because the people were desperate, they had gathered their strength and learned to wage war. The war would definitely have been won by the Soviet people," said pensioner Nikolai Kosyak, 64.
The timing of the second front was a vexed question between the wartime Allies: Soviet leader Josef Stalin had urged British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to open it as far back as August 1942. Continued...

Wow, you guys are doing awesome work, all of this done freehand or using french curves and what not.
Both of my hands were severely burned in a work accident and haven't drawn much since. Grasping anything but a large molded rubber grip about the size of a throttle on a motorcycle is all I can do for any length of time. I do mss it,
I was drawing anything from 8yrs old, had a few covers for local car clubs and so on, normal stuff. I tend to sway to the Frazzetta style since that was the last I had touched.
I always had a preferance for pen and ink, fine detail styles. I can remember drawing my brothers feild and stream covers of fish jumping out of the water with all the scales and proper colors.
I never quite got painting down, it was messy and just never liked the amount of time. I flunked art class because of this, lol.
All of you guys shoul be proud of your work, I'm enjoying it.

http://www.nrahq.org/education/train...L&Type=BPistol. Take the Basic Pistol course and go to the next gun show armed with knowledge - not just dollars.
I'm going to the gun show this weekend at the South Florida Fair Grounds and have a few questions. I dont know what would be a good gun to look for. For mainly CC.
This will be my first gun and my first gun show. What should I look for there.
Also can you post some pics and prices with your gun choices. Thank you in advance.
http://www.nrahq.org/education/train...L&Type=BPistol. Take the Basic Pistol course and go to the next gun show armed with knowledge - not just dollars.
Ditto what Mike said. Get a little familiar with pistols before you buy one, or you'll most likely end up with what you don't want. The NRA course of instruction will familiarize you with the basics of revolvers and pistols. Then, get to a gun range that rents handguns and try some different makes.
One of the most important things to consider is how it fits your hand. Not all handguns are comfortable to shoot for everyone. If the grip is too big or too small, you won't be as accurate as you could be. If it fits your hand well, you'll know it as soon as you pick it up.
If you know of one, or someone you trust can recommend a good gun shop, you may be better off buying your first handgun there. They more likely will take the time needed to make sure you end up with a pistol that fits you and meets your needs.
DITTO again,, shows are fun and would give you overload on models and types, kind of like picking blond over any thing eles.
Hit the shops and rental ranges , do more shopping and learning.
Do you have a trustworthy friend to answer questions for you then gunshows can be a wealth of info some good some bad and start learning the difference.
Go to the show but leave money and credit cards at home and enjoy.
thanks for all the replies. I'm going to go with a friend who knows a little bit about guns but now I think I'll leave the card and cash at home. Would the bass pro down in pompano beach be a good place to buy a gun. I dont know of any other gun shops that are in good areas.
I think that Bass Pro Shops, are a good place to go for INFO, thye charge about 100 dollars more than any gun store. Wat I would do is go to the gun just look around see wat type of gun u like, hold some. DO NOT BUY, at the gun show. Than find the ones you like, write them down, u can ask us here, or just find a gun store and go to one.
I have been asking everyone I know what would be good to carry on my or in my truck AND be able to fit into my hand...I have big hands.
A few people I know have told me that I would love the Glock 19 and I might want to look at the Glock 23
I like it because its not as large as a full size handgun but its not a subcompact. What are your opinions on this gun.
Last edited by hammerheadtib; 07-01-2007 at 09:02 PM.
I'm getting in line behind Mike on this one. You can get ripped off something hard at a gun show and they look for people who they think won't know to check for something. I have generally taken to buying only military surplus at gun shows and even then I only buy from certain dealers. So my advice is to either skip the gun show or take someone along who is really up on firearms and is a seasoned gun show goer. I haven't been finding a lot of real deals at gun shows lately anyway. Most of the time they are more expensive then the most expensive local dealers. Most people I know go to those shows for ammo.
I dont know if its different in Texas, but the gun shows I have been to consistantly have better prices than academy, cabellas, gun shops, etc.
I dont know just what one would be better for me.
Also I'm sure it'll make a difference........I shoot with my left hand
Most autos can be operated just as well by lefty as a righty. Lefties can just use the index finger to operate the slide and mag releases, instead of the thumb. Guns with thumb safeties will need an ambi unit added if it is not already included.
Revolvers are also easily worked left-handed. When pressing the cylinder release, just flip the left thumb over the frame and pop out the cylinder. It's a tiny bit slower than a righty, but reloading revolvers is slow, anyway.
Get training and at least a little experience before you buy. If you don't have any idea what you want or like, there's no way strangers on an internet forum can.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: Channels AC/DC
Photo by Paul Kane/Getty Images
In continuing his efforts to do songs synonymous with area where he is performing, Bruce Springsteen opened his show on Saturday in Perth, Australia with a version of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" in tribute to the band's late singer, Bon Scott, who grew up nearby. The guitar solo in the song was handled by all four guitarists in the E Street Band -- Springsteen, Steve Van Zandt, Nils Lofgren and Tom Morello. Up next is Adelaide, Australia on Tuesday.

San Francisco offers waterfront site to George Lucas for museum
By Jennifer Chaussee
(Reuters) - San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee has offered George Lucas 2.3 acres of waterfront real estate in hopes that the director will locate a proposed arts and culture museum in the city, a spokeswoman for the mayor's office said on Friday.
The proposal, which was sent to Lucas on Thursday, heats up a competition between Chicago and San Francisco for Lucas's planned art museum, where he will house his personal collection.
"This is the most iconic site we could offer up," said Christine Falvey, a spokeswoman for the mayor's office. "It's right on our waterfront and right by our Bay Bridge and AT&T park."
The planned museum will feature Lucas's collection of fine art from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries as well as children's art and digital animation he has collected, David Perry, a spokesman for the project, said.
Lucas, who is from Northern California and visited his first museum in San Francisco, has worked with the city on a number of projects and has a significant presence within its cultural realm, Falvey said.
Lucas had originally intended to build the museum in the Presidio, an area near the Golden Gate Bridge that is protected from development under a land trust.
The organization overseeing the land ultimately rejected Lucas's proposal, and Lee formed a staff to find an alternate site.
A competition developed when Chicago offered Lucas a 17-acre site, a move that made Chicago a front-runner for the museum. Lee shot back on Thursday with his own proposal in hopes of luring Lucas to the West Coast with promises of sunny weather. Continued...

Stocks Bound Higher
U.S. stocks finished solidly higher on Tuesday as a drop in oil prices eased inflation worries and data reports showed the U.S. economy continues to strengthen.
The Dow Jones industrial average added 159.19 points, or 1.60%, to 10,117.62. The Nasdaq composite index gained 41.67 points, or 2.17%, to 1,964.65. The broader Standard & Poor's 500-stock index was up 17.67 points, or 1.61%, at 1,113.08.
Looking ahead to Wednesday, a few companies are set to report earnings as the quarterly earnings season nears an end. Among them are auto retailer Autozone (AZO ) and Veritas (VTS ) , a seismic technology company.
On the economic data front, a report on Tuesday is expected to show that orders for big ticket items, or durable goods, slipped 0.8% in April versus a 5% jump in Marhc. Meantime, the sales of new homes in April is forecast to have slipped to a 1.15 million annualized pace from a 1.228 million pace in the previous month.
One factor helping drive stocks higher on Tuesday was a drop in the price of crude oil after closing at a record high Monday. Higher oil prices can create inflation, which could push the U.S. central bank to raise interest rates in June.
Two separate economic reports mostly painted a picture of a strengthening economy. Existing home sales rose 2.5% in April to 6.64 million annualized pace, topping expectations. According to Informal Global Markets, "the figure confirms a still-solid housing market as potential homeowners rush to enter the market before rates increase, while mortgage applications remain strong." And the Conference Board's consumer conference index came in at 93.2 for May--a bit below expectations--versus a 93.0 reading for April, Informa says.
But concerns about the high price of crude remain. Investors were nervous after OPEC officials were highly critical of a Saudi proposal to expand oil production to help reduce prices and meet higher global demand, according to Informa Global Markets.
In earnings news, doughnut retailer Krispy Kreme (KKD ) posted its first quarterly net loss since its IPO four years ago. The chain said it was scaling back the number of planned new stores amid slacker sales due in part to the trend in low-carb diets.
Meantime, Medtronic (MDT ), the world's top medical device maker, posted higher quarterly earnings thanks to greater sales in all of its major product lines.
Williams-Sonoma (WSM ), the housewares retailer, reported higher quarterly profit thanks to lower costs and improved merchandise selections at its Pottery Barn chain.
Food giant Campbell Soup (CPB ) reported 10% higher profit in its third fiscal quarter thanks to the currency exchange rates, which offset more promotional expenses and weaker sales.
Novell (NOVL ), which makes networking software and update services for Linux, cut its quarterly loss in half over last year by increasing revenue.
In New York Stock Exchange news, Richard A. Grasso, the Big Board's former head, said Tuesday he would contest New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's lawsuit over his $187.5 million compensation package.
Treasury Market
Treasury prices closed mixed after stocks strengthened, with the benchmark 10-year note yielding 4.73% at the close. Earlier, Treasuries had been higher in price as traders focused on the "jobs hard to find" component of the strong consumer confidence report. The strength in home sales was largely ignored, says Informa Global Markets.
World Markets
European stock markets closed lower on Tuesday. London's FTSE 100 index was off 10.90 points, or 0.25%, to 4,418 following reports that U.K. first quarter business investment rose 0.3% while car production fell 1.3% in the three months to April and that manufacturing pay settlements hit the highest level in three years. Vodafone was lower after reporting higher earning and the company announced a buyout of Vodafone Japan.
Germany's DAX index was off 39.77 points, or 1.03%, to 3,828.27 as German Ifo business climate index eased to 96.1 in May from 96.3 in April. Bayer and BASF were lower on worries earnings could suffer from higher oil prices. CDV Software Entertainment was lower after saying first quarter sales fell 24%.
France's CAC-40 index was down 18.29 points, or 0.50% to 3,610.53 on worries about higher oil prices and a report that French consumer prices rose 0.3% in April. Axa, France Telecom, and Alcatel were lower while Carrefour and Casino were higher following a Financial Times report that Wal-Mart (WMT ) will consider making large acquisitions in Europe.
Asian markets finished mixed. In Japan, the Nikkei index lost 138.71 points, or 1.25%, to close at 10,962.93 with big banks sliding after they gave disappointing outlooks for this year, according to S&P Marketscope. UFJ Holdings fell after the bank posted an annual loss due to write-offs of bad loans, but the bank expects to turn profitable this year. Japan's three other top banks trended lower despite posting an annual profit as they forecast flat to lower earnings for this business year. Softbank shares bucked the downtrend after the company said it was considering buying into Japan Telecom, which is controlled by U.S. buyout firm Ripplewood Holdings LLC. Nippon Oil rose along with its peers after a local newspaper reported Japanese oil wholesalers would soon up gasoline prices.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index was up 29.59 points, 0.25%, to close at 11,692.937 In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index fell 1.0% to 11,549.21 at midday close as investors stayed on the sidelines ahead of the Buddha's Birthday holiday Wednesday. Property issues trended lower on profit-taking, ahead of a public land auction which is to be held later this afternoon, according to S&P Marketscope. In Taiwan, the TAIEX rose 0.27% to 5958.38 on the back of gains in techs, plastics, chemical names and paper stocks.

Memories for Sturt Football Club as Amrozi is Sentenced
Broadcast: 08/08/2003
Reporter: Ian Henschke
This time last year, the Sturt Football team was headed towards its first grand final in a quarter of a century.
Tim Weatherald spearheaded the victory picking up a Magarey Medal along the way, but the dream turned into a nightmare when the clubs' celebrations were torn apart by the terrorist attacks in Bali.
Last night Tim Weatherald watched as Bali bomber Amrozi was sentenced to death.
But Tim and the rest of the victims are still living with the memories.
TIM WEATHERALD, BALI SURVIVOR: Guess one of my first feelings is relief I suppose, sort of in one sense.
it's something which is over now.
It's always in the media and all that sort of stuff and it's nice that it's sort of, a decision has been made.
I guess my only sort of initial thoughts are that, they'll appeal it now I suppose and it'll drag on for another six months.
So that's my only sort of I guess fear I suppose, is that they're going to keep appealing it and stuff like that and it's going to keep dragging on like a lot of the stuff does, but I mean as I said I never had a real opinion at the start about what I wanted and I don't feel sorrow or anything.
I'm not sorry for him that he's going to be put to death and I hope he is put to death in a lot of ways and the other sign of the coin sort of I can see the benefits of having him alive and trying to find the real, the real big heads.
He's sort of only the, almost the little guy I suppose.
IAN HENSCHKE: When Tim Weatherald came back from Bali last October he was a shattered man.
He'd lost two of his friends and he'd been witness to a massacre.
10 months later his spirit and the teams is stronger than ever, but so too are some of the horrifying memories.
TIM WEATHERALD: It's almost nine or ten months ago now, you know, since it happened.
When I still, most nights when I go to bed I still think about it.
It's not something I'm sacred of any more.
I mean every night you go to bed you put you head on the pillow and the first thing I think about is on that night and just little things run through your mind.
It's nowhere near as bad as it has been.
I'm not as scared, like I'm not scared to go to sleep, like the first few months I said I was sacred to go to bed, because you think it's going to happen again and those sort of things, whereas I've, I think I've moved a long way and I feel I've recovered very well and I'm living a normal life, but you just -- but when you go to bed you do just think about it a little bit.
IAN HENSCHKE: While Tim has been able to work through much of his trauma, for others it's been an even more painful journey to recovery.
TIM WEATHERALD: We are all going through different sorts of things, some of us are probably further along the healing process than others are, some are probably a bit further behind than me.
I know of people who go and lock themselves in the bathroom and cry for two hours.
I mean and that's and that is still happening and that is why we've all got to try and deal with it ourselves and help each other through and we will all get through it together.
IAN HENSCHKE: Tim Weatherald was on a high when he went to Bali, it had been the best year of his sporting career.
He'd shared the joy of the Magarey Medal with team-mate Jade Sheedy.
A couple of weeks later they were lucky to escape with their lives.
And now it seems certain that Amrozi will be shot and happily become a martyr to his terrorist cause.
It's a concept Tim Weatherald, a man whose learnt to love life and has seen the pain of death will never understand.
TIM WEATHERALD: Yeah, I mean you just sort of can't understand people like that and -- he says that he's happy and proud to die, whereas I just can't understand how any human can be looking forward to dying and no matter who he is, he's still got to be scared of dying.
I think that's sort of one thing which I'm happy with that he is -- I'm sure he's got some sort of fear as much as he says he hasn't.
I'm sure he's got some sort of fear of dying, everyone does.
IAN HENSCHKE: When Tim Weatherald came back from the Bali horror he went back to his job teaching at Prince Alfred College almost immediately.
This afternoon he was still there having a few kicks with the kids after school and while he's passing on his sporting skills to them, they've been the best grief counsellors he could ever have asked for.
TIM WEATHERALD: When I got back from Bali we arrived probably a couple of days after it all happened -- by the time we got back and I was back at work within two days.
I guess I'm lucky I teach young sort of -- young tutor at Prince Alfred College, from five-year-olds up to sort of 12-year-olds and I found it easier relating those sort of kids because, I guess, they're not scared to -- they weren't scared to talk to me and they didn't think about -- well, should I say this or should I say that, like a lot of adults did I suppose.
A lot of adults didn't know how talk to me or how to approach me whereas young kids just said what they think they sort of say -- the honest thing.
Like a little year two said to me "At least you're not dead, Mr Weatherald?"
And another little boy in a kindergarten, he came up to me and gave me a bandaid and sort of said "I hope this makes you feel better."
And they were just so honest and sort of puts life back into reality, I suppose and you can sort of think about yeah well, this is what life's all about and I'd go out there and kick the ball with the kids at lunch-time and recess time and that was definitely -- I feel it was one of the huge part of my healing and made it a lot easier for me.
IAN HENSCHKE: And today Amrozi's lawyers said despite Amrozi's joy at the death penalty, they want to appeal the decision.

This morning in Jonesboro, Ark., Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, known as the "West Memphis Three," will reportedly appear at a surprise hearing where many outlets are reporting that they — or at least Echols and Baldwin, with some reports saying all three — will be released after spending 18 years in prison for the 1993 murders of three young boys. Echols had been sentenced to death.
If, in fact, there is an arrangement with prosecutors, its details are not yet known with certainty, and some reports say that it will allow them to maintain that they're innocent, but will require them to plead no contest to some set of charges, at which point they will be sentenced to time served and sent home. In other words, they will not be exonerated, but they will be released.
The original convictions, based on a theory that Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley killed the three children as part of a Satanic ritual, were the subject of the 1996 HBO documentary Paradise Lost: The Child Murders At Robin Hood Hills and the 2000 follow-up Paradise Lost 2: Revelations. Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory is set to premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. All three come from filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky.
The case is also the subject of the 2002 book Devil's Knot.
The first two documentaries — and presumably the third — argue that the three were wrongfully convicted primarily because they were, in a word, weird, and because of fears whipped up in the community by mentions of Satanism.
As the films tell the story, they were misfits in West Memphis, teenagers who listened to the wrong music and dressed the wrong way and made people intensely uncomfortable. Misskelley, a 17-year-old with a reported I.Q. of 72 when he was arrested, confessed to the police after a lengthy interrogation, only to almost immediately recant. The Supreme Court of Arkansas later called the confession, in which he admitted being present but primarily incriminated Echols and Baldwin, "virtually the only evidence" against Misskelley, and noted that it contained "a confusing amalgam of times and events" and "numerous inconsistencies," both internally and with the actual physical evidence in the case. The court nevertheless upheld his conviction.
That was in 1996.
The case has attracted widespread attention over the last 15 years or so, including high-profile support from celebrities including Eddie Vedder, Johnny Depp and Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks. Efforts to get a new trial had been unsuccessful, but the case has continued to churn along with the growth of DNA evidence.
This morning, Berlinger and Sinofsky were at the courthouse in Jonesboro awaiting the release of the three, because that documentary that's about to premiere is presumably going to need a new ending, and a black screen with white letters giving the update is not going to do it. In an interview, they credited HBO's Sheila Nevins with spotting the story that eventually led to the documentaries being produced and shown on the network.
The activist documentary has a long history — the most famous true-crime example before now that's actually been credited for anyone being released from prison is probably Errol Morris' 1988 film The Thin Blue Line, which is frequently cited as contributing to the release of Randall Adams in 1989. But that case was widely discussed over the course of that year; this one has been the subject of benefit concerts, special reports, and massive online discussions for at least the last 15 years. There are still documentaries made about criminal defendants; there were several at Silverdocs this summer.
And if indeed these three defendants are released, there will likely be even more.
