Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships officially open
by International Sailing Federation on 2 Dec 2011
79 Nations Are Set To Sail In Perth - Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships Mick Anderson / Sailingpix.dk
Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships were officially opened today, Friday 2nd December, in Perth, Western Australia by ISAF President Göran Petersson.
Seventy nine nations were represented at the Opening Ceremony with over 1,100 sailors set to compete for world championship glory in the ten Olympic events on show in Fremantle.
The Women's Match Racers hit the water on 3 December followed by the Women's RS:X, Laser Radial, Men's 470 and Finn fleet racing on 5 December. Their Medal Races take place on 11 December, the same day the Star fleet commence. The Stars complete their racing on 17 December. The Women's 470, 49er, Laser and Men's RS:X start racing on 12 December and close the Championships on 18 December.
Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen (AUS) come into the regatta in fine form having won gold at the Weymouth and Portland International Regatta, Olympic Test Event and moving to the top of the 49er ISAF World Rankings. The Australians took the title by count back after the Medal Race with the 2010 49er World Champions and ISAF Rolex World Sailors of the Year Iker Martinez and Xabi Fernandez (ESP) settling for silver.
With Martinez and Fernandez on Volvo Ocean Race duty the Australians will be one of the favourites. But competition in Perth will be fast, competitive and combative as the 49er sailors come head-to-head with the Fremantle Doctor and winds between 18-25 knots.
Austria's Nico Delle-Karth and Nikolaus Resch will look to upset the form book in Perth and despite dropping down the rankings to number two in the world they know what it takes to win after placing on the podium at three of five 2010-2011 ISAF Sailing World Cup Regattas.
Outteridge and Jensen's training partners Will and Sam Phillips (AUS) and Peter Burling and Blair Tuke (NZL) will be in contention throughout the regatta. The two teams finished behind the World number one duo at the first 2011-2012 ISAF Sailing World Cup Regatta, Sail Melbourne and will be out to cause a stir.
The Star class features some of the most experienced sailors in the world with seven world champions amongst the fleet.
Robert Scheidt and Bruno Prada (BRA) have shown the Star sailors that they are the team to beat following their 20 point victory at the Olympic Test Event and four regatta wins in the 2010-2011 ISAF Sailing World Cup.
Star European Championship winners Diego Negri and Enrico Voltolini (ITA) will be hotly fancied as will Great Britain's Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson and with world champions in abundance it'll be a tense week for the 40 registered boats.
All of the world's top ten Men's RS:X sailors will be in Perth fighting for World Championship glory. Amongst them is Nick Dempsey (GBR) and Dorian van Rijsselberge (NED). The sailors enjoyed a remarkable battle during the Olympic Test Event that saw the overall lead change hands on multiple occasions. The Medal Race was full of drama and excitement but the Dutchman came out with the gold medal.
The two will renew their rivalry in Perth and it will be a contest to keep an eye on but World number one and defending RS:X World Champion Piotr Myszka (POL), Beijing 2008 RS:X gold medallist Tom Ashley (NZL) and the rest of the fleet will all be fighting for top spot.
Great Britain's Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark (GBR) head into their first Women's 470 World Championships together and after they were awarded a quota spot for the London 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition the pressure on them is off. The pair sailed an excellent regatta at the Olympic Test Event finishing second to Ai Kondo and Wakako Tabata (JPN). Both teams will be competing for top honours alongside World number one Erin Maxwell and Isabelle Farrar-Kinsolving (USA), local girls Belinda Stowell and Elise Rechichi (AUS), 2010 World Champions Lisa Westerhof and Lobke Berkhout and a string of other experienced and up and coming Women's 470 sailors.
With 140 registered boats, the Laser is the largest fleet at the Perth 2011 ISAF Worlds. Tom Slingsby (AUS) and Paul Goodison (GBR) are two of the favourites but with such a large fleet anything is possible on any given day.
The Women's Match Racing competition opens the regatta on 3 December at 10:00 local time.
The Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships

Asher's Chocolate began in 1892 and this makes it the longest running, family-owned confectioners in the US. What was once a candy shop is now a chocolate factory that is owned and run by the fourth generation of the Asher's family. They are a high quality confectioners that produce the following goods:
In addition to selling their products, they also offer sweet deals and the opportunity to win free chocolate. The site is really easy to use and to find exactly what you want. When you find a product that you like the look of and click on it you will find further information about the products and several images of the item, that if you hover over them, they zoom in showing details of the product. You will also see other similar products that you might like displayed on this page. The only downside is that due to the products being food stuffs, Asher's Chocolate only ship within the US which is a shame for international chocolate lovers.
There are many other confectioners that sell their goods online. However, Asher's Chocolate have many differentiating features that will appeal to chocolate lovers and to those who are buying gifts for somebody else. Some of these are as follows:
Confectionary is a fast growing market online and this means that Asher's Chocolate have a growing number of competitors. Two of the leading rivals in this field are Ghiradelli and Chocolate.com. When compared to Asher's Chocolate, the rival sites both have pros and cons.
Cons of Chocolate.com
Cons of Ghiradelli
It is also possible to compare the pricing of Asher's Chocolate to that of Chocolate.com and Ghiradelli. Here is a comparison of the prices of gift baskets at each of these sites.
This shows that in comparison to its leading rivals, Asher's Chocolate has a reasonably sized range that are priced competitively. Other considerations when looking at the price are:
Asher's Chocolate give customers the opportunity to review any of the products that they have bought. They can give a star rating and write any comments about the products that they have purchased form the site. Some of the comments made are as follows:
"I've tried many from other companies and this one tops them all. Great chocolate and cracker combo!"
"These are out of this world delicious! I received a package as a gift and have been buying them non-stop for gifts to others and 1 for myself! They melt in your mouth and have the most delectable flavor. I have had nothing more wonderful from any bakery anywhere!"
Are these biased and is this a true reflection of customer feedback? It seems that it actually is a true reflection because a search across the Internet shows that other people have given equally good reviews of Asher's Chocolate. One such example is:
"You can get hurt chocolate for a good price and the quality is good. Maybe the pretzels are missing a ring, or maybe they are stuck together with too much chocolate, but who cares? We buys lots of presents here and nobody ever complains. What a delightful place. You never know what you'll find on discount. But you'll always buy something and be happy. This IS the best quality candy, and they use Wilbur chocolate. Try the giant marshmallows."

Based out of Salem, MA | contact: email@example.com
About Me:
Hello, my name is Zach and I am an audio engineer and musician currently residing north of Boston, Massachusetts. I have been working professionally as a a freelance mastering engineer for the past six years, touching upon albums of any and all genres, but have been recording music for well over ten years. I have recording credits on over one-hundred releases and there is no project too small nor too large for me to take on. I am always looking to work with new, wonderful clients to help accomplish and fully realize the exact vision they have for their recorded material. In the mastering stage, a lot can be achieved beyond shaping the final sound of the audio recording in question. Thus I strive to produce a master recording which not only 100% meets the desired results and expectations of the client, but also serves as a perfect representation of the project to their exact specifications.
My mastering services include (but are not limited to): standard digital mastering, high-fidelity pre-mastering for vinyl record pressing, DDP CD mastering, "Mastered for iTunes" file formatting, remastering and restoration for audio recordings of various sources, among other solutions.
Though my assumed forte is usually in the field of mastering, my skill-set as an engineer is very versatile and I also enjoy engineering, mixing, and producing larger-scale recordings when given the opportunity. Feel free to shoot me an email about your record and we can discuss the creative process, options, and anything else you are looking to accomplish. Aside from studio work, I currently work for and tour with Epitaph Records recording artist The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die as their live-sound engineer, among other related responsibilities. I have a more detailed account of my engineering history written here if you wish to know more about me and my background.
(On a completely different note: I have over ten years of freelance graphic design experience, working for bands, record labels, companies, among others. I have a gallery of my design portfolio hosted online for reference)
As of 2017, I also play and write music with Animal Flag and a few other musical projects.
I don't have a set-in-stone flat or hourly rate because I believe in deciding upon a price-point which is fair to both the client and myself. Contact me through this form with details about your record, budget, and what you're trying to do and we can figure out pricing based upon what you are trying to accomplish with the project as a whole.

White-winged Dove
White winged doves have a special partnership with the saguaro cactus. They time their migration to the Sonora Desert to coincide with the blooming of the cactus. The cactus relies on the doves for pollination as they go from flower to flower sipping nectar. When the flowers turn to fruit, about the end of June, they are filled with thousands of small seeds which the doves help to spread as they regurgitate food to their young; they also spread the seeds through their droppings. The doves especially rely on the saguaro for water and nutrients during breeding season.
The White-winged Dove is a grayish-brown above and gray below. Its wings are dark with white patches on the outer side of each wing. It is the only Dove to have white wing patches. When sitting, the white on the wing shows only as a thin white line. It has a short rounded tail with white tips on the corners. Each reddish-orange eye is surrounded bright blue bare skin in a teardrop shape. It has a long, slim bill which it uses to sip nectar. There is a small black crescent mark below its eye, and an iridescent green-gold sheen on the back of its neck. Its legs and feet are reddish. Sexes are similar in appearance. The juvenile looks like the adult but is grayer and does not have the bare blue skin around its eye. Its eyes are brown; its legs and feet are also brownish.
Range and Habitat
This dove is mostly a tropical bird and winters south of the United States in Mexico, Central, and South America. In North America, it is a resident in the southwest, along the gulf coast, and in Florida. Lately it has been expanding its range and has been seen in Alaska, Maine, and most states in between. It favors arid areas, river woods, mesquite, Saguaro Cacti, desert oasis, and will wander into more urban areas.
It eats a diet of seeds, fruit, and consumes the seeds of the Saguaro Cactus, the Agave Cactus, the Ocotillo, and the Willow Tree, grinding the seeds in its gizzard. It relies on the fruit of the Saguaro cactus for nutrients and water, but is able to go several days without water. It is also known to fly long distances to get to water, sometimes traveling up to 20 miles in a day! Like most doves, it will forage on the ground; it nods its head when walking, and sucks up water without lifting its head. You might find the White-wing Dove roosting together with other birds in large flocks. It call is cooing sounds, which sounds like "who-cooks-for-you?"
"White-wings." as they are called in the southwest, are fast flying birds. Their wings give a soft whistle when they take off (they make a softer sound than when a Mourning Dove takes off). They are game birds, and are avidly hunted in some states of the southwest. During migration, you may see up to 4,000 birds in one flock flying together.
Breeding and Nesting
The White-winged Dove is monogamous. The male's display flight involves climbing up high in the air with clapping wing beats, and then gliding back down again. He will flash his tail and puff up his neck feathers as he loudly coos to his potential mate. The pair will nest singly or in large colony. The male gathers the sticks and grasses and the female builds the nest. Like other doves, the nest is a flimsy platform. It is placed in a fruit tree, mesquite bush, or in a cactus (the spine of the cactus provides extra protection.) The female lays 2 eggs. Both parents take turns incubating the eggs for 2 weeks; the male incubates during the day and the female at night. The young are fed "pigeons milk" (a white liquid substance formed in the crop) until they are about 4 days old, then they are fed regurgitated fruit and are ready to eat seeds on their own. They fledge in 2 weeks and remain in the area to be fed by the parents for about a month. White-winged Doves have 2-3 broods a year.

Pole and Hungarian cousins be
"Pole and Hungarian cousins be" (the Polish version) and "Pole and Hungarian, two good friends" (Hungarian version) are respective forms of a popular bilingual proverb concerning the traditional kinship, brotherhood, and camaraderie between the Polish and Hungarian peoples.
The Polish text of the proverb reads:
Polak, Węgier — dwa bratanki,
i do szabli, i do szklanki,
oba zuchy, oba żwawi,
niech im Pan Bóg błogosławi.
The full Hungarian version reads:
Lengyel, magyar – két jó barát,
Együtt harcol s issza borát,
Vitéz s bátor mindkettője,
Áldás szálljon mindkettőre.
The Polish text may be rendered:
Pole and Hungarian brothers be,
good for fight and good for party.
Both are valiant, both are lively,
Upon them may God's blessings be.
—or, more word-for-word:
Pole and Hungarian — two brothers,
good for saber and for glass.
Both courageous, both lively,
Let God bless them.
A shorter Hungarian version,
Lengyel, magyar – két jó barát,
együtt harcol s issza borát.
may be rendered:
Pole and Hungarian — two good friends,
joint fight and drinking at the end.
—or, without rhyme, meter or syllable-count, and rendered word-by-word:
Pole, Hungarian — two good friends,
together they battle and drink their wine.
The proverb's Polish version comprises two couplets, each of the four lines consisting of 8 syllables. The Hungarian version comprises a single couplet, each of the two lines likewise consisting of 8 syllables.
The Polish version's "bratanki" means "nephews (one's brother's sons)", but at one time "bratanek" (the singular) may have been a diminutive of "brat", "brother"). The Polish expression "'bratanek'" differs in meaning from the Hungarian version's "barát" ("friend"), though the two words look similar.
The Polish version given above is the one commonly quoted today by Poles. In the Hungarian language, there are 10 distinct versions, each a couplet of the same general meaning, and most again comprising 8 syllables.

In its several variants in the Polish and Hungarian languages, the proverb speaks to the special relations that have long existed between Poland and Hungary.
The proverb literally means: the Pole and Hungarian are two brothers, both in terms of saber and cup. It was an invention of the Polish middle and minor nobility during the 16th or 18th century (it was not used by commoners prior that time). They recognized that both countries have the same political structure, the so-called nobles' republic (Polish: Rzeczpospolita, Hungarian: natio Hungarica[disambiguation needed]), a democratic parliamentary system where the state and the king are controlled by untitled nobility. (The Polish word Rokosz, which means an 'armed, semi-legal rebellion against the king in defense of political rights of nobility', came from the Hungarian Rákos, a field near the city of Pest, where mass (public) parlamental meetings of Hungarian (middle and minor) nobility were held during Middle Ages.)
Similarly, they also recognized, that the nobilities of both countries had corresponding war tactics, weaponry, and lifestyle, making them "two brothers". When Poles elected the Hungarian nobleman Stephen Bathory, prince of Transylvania as king of Poland (1576), the new ruler implemented a military reform, created the combat arm of so-called winged hussars, and from Transylvania invited the first sabre making masters in Poland, who also promoted the development of Polish martial art by sabre. (The sabre [Polish szabla] is being called in Poland as szabla Wegierska-Polska [Hungarian-Polish sabre], or batorówka, after the name of king Stephen Báthori [or zygmuntówka after the name of king Sigismund III Vasa, or augustówka after the name of king Augustus III. respectively].)
Members of the nobility in both countries also liked good wine (in the Middle Ages, imported to Poland mainly from Hungary), resulting in similar temperament and lifestyle, and in understanding between them. In Hungary, the saying became widely known outside nobility circles only at the end of the 19th century.
According to one source, the proverb's original Polish version was, Węgier, Polak dwa bratanki i do szabli i do szklanki. Oba zuchy, oba żwawi, niech im Pan Bóg błogosławi.[1]
The saying probably arose after the 1772 collapse of the Bar Confederation (1768–72), which had been formed to defend the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth against aggression by the Russian Empire. According to Julian Krzyżanowski, the saying was inspired by the sojourn, in Szepesség, Kingdom of Hungary (today Spiš, Slovakia), of the Confederation's leaders, who found political asylum there.[2] Another source states that it "comes from the period when the Generality of the Bar Confederation [the Confederation's supreme authority] took up residence in Eperjes [today in eastern Slovakia] (1769–1772)."[3][4]
Good relations between Poland and Hungary date back to the Middle Ages. Louis the Great was King of Hungary from 1342 and King of Poland from 1370 until his death in 1382. He was his father's heir, Charles I of the House of Anjou-Sicily (King of Hungary and Croatia) and his uncle's heir, Casimir III the Great (King of Poland – the last ruler of Piast dynasty). King Casimir had no legitimate sons. Apparently, in order to provide a clear line of succession and avoid dynastic uncertainty, he arranged for his nephew, King Louis I of Hungary, to be his successor in Poland. In the 15th century, the two countries briefly shared the same king, Poland's Władysław III of Varna, who perished, aged barely twenty, fighting the Turks at Varna, Bulgaria. In the 16th century, Poland elected as its king a Hungarian nobleman, Stefan Batory, who is regarded as one of Poland's greatest kings. In the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, a Polish general, Józef Bem, became a national hero of both Hungary and Poland.
During the Polish–Soviet War (1919–21), Hungary offered to send 30,000 cavalry to Poland's aid, but the Czechoslovak government refused to allow them through the demilitarized zone that had existed between Czechoslovakia and Hungary since the end of the Czechoslovak-Hungarian war a few months earlier. Same stance had the government of Romania. When asked to at least let the trains with ammunition go to the Poles, Czechoslovakia was stubborn, but Romania agreed, the only requierement being that Hungarians use their own trains, which they happily obliged to.
From the Middle Ages well into the 18th century, Poland and Hungary had shared a historic common border between Poland and Carpathian Ruthenia (also known as "Carpathian Rus"), governed by Hungary. In the aftermath of World War I the allies had, at Versailles, transferred Carpathian Ruthenia from Hungary to Czechoslovakia. Poland has never ratified the Treaty of Trianon. Treaty with Hungary was not signed till 4 June 1920, it did not come into force at all till 26 July 1921, and it was never published in the Journal of Laws by Poland. Following the Munich Agreement (30 September 1938) — which doomed Czechoslovakia to takeover by Germany — Poland and Hungary, from common as well as their own special interests, worked together, by diplomatic as well as paramilitary means, to restore their historic common border by engineering the return of Carpathian Rus to Hungary.[5] A step toward their goal was realized with the First Vienna Award (November 2, 1938).
Until mid-March 1939, Germany considered that, for military reasons, a common Hungarian-Polish frontier was undesirable. Indeed, when in March 1939 Hitler made an about-face and authorized Hungary to take over the rest of Carpatho-Rus (which was by then styling itself "Carpatho-Ukraine"), he warned Hungary not to touch the remainder of Slovakia, to whose territory Hungary also laid claim. Hitler meant to use the puppet state Slovakia as a staging ground for his planned invasion of Poland. In March 1939, however, Hitler changed his mind about the common Hungarian-Polish frontier and decided to betray Germany's ally, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, who had already in 1938 begun organizing Ukrainian military units in a sich outside Uzhhorod, in Carpathian Ukraine, under German tutelage — a sich that Polish political and military authorities saw as an imminent danger to nearby southeastern Poland, with its largely Ukrainian population.[6][7] Hitler, however, was concerned that, if a Ukrainian army organized in Carpathian Rus were to accompany German forces invading the Soviet Union, Ukrainian nationalists would insist on the establishment of an independent Ukraine; Hitler, who had designs on Ukraine's natural and agricultural resources, did not want to deal with an independent Ukrainian government.[8]
Hitler would soon have cause to rue his decision regarding the fate of Carpatho-Ukraine. In six months, during his 1939 invasion of Poland, the common Polish-Hungarian border would become of major importance when Admiral Horthy's government, on the ground of long-standing Polish-Hungarian friendship, declined, as a matter of "Hungarian honor,"[9] Hitler's request to transit German forces across Carpathian Rus into southeastern Poland to speed that country's conquest. The Hungarian refusal allowed the Polish government and tens of thousands of military personnel to escape into neighboring Hungary and Romania, and from there to France and French-mandated Syria to carry on operations as the third-strongest Allied belligerent after Britain and France. Also, for a time Polish and British intelligence agents and couriers, including Krystyna Skarbek, used Hungary's Carpathorus as a route across the Carpathian Mountains to and from Poland.[10]
After World War II, during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, Poles demonstrated their support for the Hungarians by donating blood for them; by 12 November 1956, 11,196 Poles had donated. The Polish Red Cross sent 44 tons of medical supplies to Hungary by air; still larger amounts were sent by road and rail.
The links between Poland and Hungary remain strong, and Hungarian politicians and political analysts often speak of "the Warsaw express," in reference to the fact that, in the modern history of Hungary and Poland, developments in Hungarian politics, such as shifts to the right or left, or political unrest, often follow similar developments in Poland. Both nations joined NATO on the same day (March 12, 1999), with only Slovakia separating them geographically – Slovakia itself joined NATO just over five years later, on March 29, 2004.
During the 2009 world economic crisis, Poland's President Lech Kaczynski stated that Poland's diplomats should have shared Hungary's view when requesting 18 billion euros from the European Commission.[clarification needed]
Friendship Day[edit]
On 12 March 2007, Hungary's parliament declared 23 March "Hungarian-Polish Friendship Day", with 324 votes in favor, none opposed, no abstentions. Four days later, the Polish parliament declared 23 March "Polish-Hungarian Friendship Day" by acclamation.[11]
Friendship Day is celebrated alternately in the two countries, first in Przemyśl, Poland. This day is commemorated in many ways throughout Poland and Hungary, with concerts, festivals, and exhibitions. The 2011 anniversary of the Polish-Hungarian Day of Friendship in Poznań was celebrated by Polish President Bronisław Komorowski and Hungarian President Pál Schmitt and attended by over five hundred people. Komorowski remarked that, "there are few cases in history where there exists such a long and peaceful co-existence between two nations," while Schmitt, in turn, declared that "the Polish-Hungarian friendship is eternal."

Are McDonald's Happy Meals about to get less...happy?
That all depends on who you ask.
It's a guilty pleasure for many. Others are completely cool with admitting they read the "50 Shades of Grey" series. Thanks to the wonders of everyone having a camera on their phone, here are a series pics of awkward people reading "50 Shades" in public.
There's no doubt that the "50 Shades Of Grey" book series is a phenomenon. There are a lot of intrigued women and very happy men (hopefully.) What are the affects of E.L. James' works? You may be surprised!
I used to love reading as a kid. I'd wake up on a Saturday morning, read a few Babysitter's Club books (remember them??) like it was nothing and then go about my day. Once that whole school thing happened and reading became more work than fun, my interest waned. However, my brand-y new iPad has rekindled(ha!) my desire to read. I've been hearing a ton about The Hunger Games, 50 Shades of Grey, and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest...so I'm dying to know, what great books are you reading?

achesonr Review
Q/A section misleading. This item only Vol 1.
I returned this item and bought the Vol 1 and Vol 2 boxed set that wasn't on the website when I first purchased this item. If you just want Master the Art of French Cooking, Vol 1 only then this is the item for you!
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Be aware that this is only volume 1. It states in the Q/A section that it is both volumes 1 and 2. I have returned this item, so maybe they will correct the Q/A section
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very nice quality, just not what I thought I was getting

Nether Regions 03.16.10: Sleuth (1972)
Nether Regions started as a segment of the Big Screen Bulletin that meant to showcase films that have been discontinued on DVD, are out of print in the United States, are only available in certain regions outside the United States, or are generally hard to find. Now it is a column all its own! You might ask "Why should I care about a film I have no access to?" My goal is to keep these films relevant because some of them genuinely deserve to be recognized. Every time I review a new film I will have a list of those I covered below so you can see if they have been announced for DVD release, or are still out of print.
Starring: Laurence Olivier, Michael Caine, and Eve Channing
Sleuth, a film based on the play by Anthony Shaffer, involves some audience manipulation. Generally, viewers want to be manipulated, but the word can have both positive and negative connotations. Normally, it is the bad forms of manipulation that receive the most publicity. What makes all the difference is how the audience perceives the manipulation by the time the conclusion rolls around. Does it benefit the moviegoer, or the director? Were the tactics clever or more underhanded? There are various forms, ranging from story manipulation to the kind that toy with our emotions. We find ourselves deciding whether or not it bothered us or was satisfying, but then again, did we notice it at all? Sleuth is a slick and entertaining type of manipulation. The characters like to play games, and as we watch them do this, we revel in the fact that they are being played on us just the same.
|Milo Tindle and a
robot that loves to laugh.
Plenty of twists and turns arise in Sleuth, but most of them are not obvious or poorly executed, and we never feel cheated, as if what occurred did not coincide with the structure and flow that came before. It is a cat and mouse mystery that is absolutely mesmerizing, and also wonderfully theatrical. In the past two years or so of my movie watching, I've noticed that I have become a fan of stage play adaptations. I now quickly notice when fellow film buffs and writers have the same affinity. When one charms you, it is relatively easy to gravitate towards another and another. I suppose the trend stemmed from David Mamet with me, but Sleuth is definitely a superb entry into that genre. The dialogue is exaggerated, but that is never a problem because it is so wittily written. Sleuth succeeds on almost every level, and it is a crime that more people cannot experience it.
Writing an all-encompassing review of Sleuth is not an easy task. For starters, because it is out of print, and not available through most online rental chains, many will not have seen it, hence, revealing the plot and the surprises concerning certain credited cast members becomes rather tricky. For this reason I must warn you now that the following plot description will contain a few spoilers. Most of the twists will be kept secret, and like The Crying Game, it is a film that can still be enjoyable if you know specific plot points. However, if you do not wish to know, skip the next two paragraphs, and read on with the brief premise of "two guys who play games with one another" in mind.
As the opening credits, which include some nifty macabre paintings, come to a close, a recording of a mystery plot is overheard as Milo Tindle (Michael Caine) weaves his way through a maze located in a vast and luscious garden. Milo has been summoned by wealthy mystery writer Andrew Wyke (Laurence Olivier), and it is difficult to find Andrew in the labyrinthe because he is the only one who knows its secret. Eventually the pair do come face to face, and make their way inside for a larger assortment of alcoholic beverages. Wyke's enormous Tudor country manor has just about everything a man of his eccentricities could want. It is filled with various sorts of games because Wyke himself plays them regularly. The eye-catching features in his house include performing dolls, a safe hidden by a dart board, laughing robots, complicated chess boards, and much more. In this situation, he plans to play a game with Milo.
|The newest DVD cover.
Basically a close-up
of the poster image.
You see, Milo and Wyke's wife, Marguerite (Eve Channing), have fallen in love, and want to marry. Wyke is happy to let go of his wife, but he wants Milo to have the funds to support her rich lifestyle, so he suggests an insurance scam. Milo will steal some jewels, pawn them to someone giving 2/3 the value, and Wyke will collect the insurance. The dilemma for Milo is he will never get his hands on the money from the jewels because Wyke has constructed an elaborate set-up to humiliate Milo beyond his wildest imaginations. After suffering this grueling embarrassment, Milo then returns to the house to proceed with his revenge, including a complex plan that could blow Wyke's mind. With two sharp opponents jabbing back and forth, anyone could come out on top, but at what price?
With the exception of a small appearance from renowned thespian Alec Cawthorne, Sleuth is a hypnotizing two man show, and that is the primary reason the long running time whizzes by so rapidly. Watching Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine savor every second of their time on screen is delightfully engaging. Milo Tindle is everything that Andrew Wyke frowns upon in a gentleman. Milo is a lower-class hairdresser that is only half-British (and part Italian), talks with an accent Wyke detests, and wears clothing that he scoffs at. But Milo's exchanges with Wyke will change him permanently. Andrew Wyke on the other hand, is the very definition of a pompous ass, a filthy rich writer whose unpredictable nature is hard to gauge. We are supposed to sympathize with Milo, but Wyke is a fully fleshed out character whose motives are understandable.
The legendary Laurence Olivier died in 1989 with so many iconic performances under his belt, but observing him having so much fun at his craft as Andrew Wyke is a pleasure indeed. The spark in his eye is quite clear. He has portrayed numerous Shakespeare characters, Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, Maxim de Winter in Hitchcock's Rebecca, Szell in Marathon Man, and the list goes on. Olivier has a flair for being wickedly memorable throughout his career, and he accomplishes that in Sleuth as well with wild gyrations, various accents, swift changes in demeanor, and oodles of quotable lines. His turn is brilliant for different reasons than what Caine's is because he has the majority of the succulent dialogue, and has no trouble controlling the room.
Olivier's Wyke dominates Caine's Milo even though on the surface, Caine is a bit more intimidating in appearance and stature. Milo has worked hard and earned everything he has in life, and the insecurity beneath the assuredness of his exterior is evident in Caine's superbly subtle depiction. Milo is polite, calm, and a bit anxious initially, which differs from Wyke. Caine gives a multifaceted internal performance, but the mastery of it is that Caine switches gears so effortlessly, and the effect is never jarring or cartoonish. Caine's resume is undoubtedly spottier than Olivier's, but he's proven his abilities enough times that he could hold his own with his co-star. Zulu brought him international fame, and throughout the decades, he has managed to hide his low points with a number of classics that still hold up today. This is one of them.
|Andrew Wyke tying
himself to a chair.
The two verbally spar back and forth like graceful professionals, constantly tagging each other like heavyweight boxers, and their chemistry is undeniable. Michael Caine was extremely excited to be working with Olivier, and was so nervous that he did not know how to address him. Eventually he just asked him, to which Olivier replied, "Well I am the Lord Olivier and you are Mr. Michael Caine. Of course that's only for the first time you address me. After that I am Larry and you are Mike." Originally, the role of Milo Tindle was offered to Alan Bates (The Fixer), but he turned it down after walking out of the play believing the part to be "unbecoming of an actor of his stature". Later it was revealed that he walked out at intermission thinking his character's contribution was finished after the first act.
Sleuth has all the attributes of a stage play. The story takes place within only a few rooms, the cast is small, and the focus is dialogue and the communication amongst characters. That being said, Director Joseph L. Mankiewicz opens the narrative and allows it stretch with dignity and ease. Wyke's intricate and lively estate plays such a crucial role in what transpires, that the surroundings are basically another character. Mankiewicz meshes with Olivier and Caine adeptly so that the modifications in tone and mood are convincing. He also makes sure that the limited settings are neither claustrophobic nor stuffy, and that even though the screenplay is rather talky, it is never dry or monotonous. Mankiewicz is responsible for many notable titles, many of them overrated: All About Eve, The Quiet American, and Cleopatra just to name a few. Sleuth was his last hurrah as a filmmaker, and it might be his crowning achievement.
Anthony Shaffer adapts his own play, and his script is magnificent, saturated with tremendously amusing and thrilling dialogue, but a proper cast must present them, and one can't go wrong with Laurence Olivier, an Oscar winner for Hamlet, not to mention two honorary statues, and Michael Caine, a two-time Oscar winner for The Cider House Rules and Hannah and Her Sisters. These two had to nail the parts for the film to be a triumph, and now it is hard to imagine Sleuth without them. Caine and Olivier were nominated in the same category in 1973, but lost to Marlon Brando for The Godfather. Who saw that coming? Mankiewicz was also nominated for Best Director. He had emerged victorious in that category twice previously with All About Eve and A Letter to Three Wives.
With the quirky and charmingly elegant Oscar nominated score from John Addison, Sleuth is filled with unforgettable moments. One of my favorites has Milo dressing up in a clown outfit to execute the planned burglary. Sadly, Olivier unleashes 90% of the greatest lines. One of the best is: "I have nothing against lapsed Catholics. In fact, some of my best friends are lapsed Catholics." As for flaws, there is one piece of deception, involving a detective, that I thought was obvious, despite the fact that the acting during that particular sequence is superlative and hilarious.
The game playing in Sleuth instantly reminded me of David Fincher's vastly under appreciated The Game from 1997 starring Michael Douglas, which offers some more deliberate manipulation, but still has powerhouse performances, striking locations, and priceless twists. When compared, the differences are simple to see, but both offer endless contentment with repeated viewings. If you liked that, you should feel the same about Sleuth.
Sleuth was released on DVD for region 1, on two occasions as far as I can tell, but for reasons known only to the studio, it has been shelved. One possibility could be that they hoped the terrible 2007 remake would sell more copies, and re-releasing the original could have overshadowed that. Then again, it could be some complicated issue with the rights. That disaster was directed by Kenneth Brannagh, in which Michael Caine plays the Andrew Wyke role and Jude Law plays Milo Tindle. Caine does his best, but Jude Law embarrasses himself and the story is altered to astonishingly stupid results. Do yourself a favor and seek the 1972 version out. It would be worth every penny.

Closing Thoughts
Well this weekend was pretty uneventful all in all. It was filled with lots of rain, branches being knocked down, pot holes resembling meteor craters, and flooding in certain areas of my town. Life goes on I guess. I have found myself still watching WWE and TNA, and probably will until Wrestle Mania and Destination X, but after that, I'm not sure how often I'll be tuning in to the weekly programs. To alleviate my desire for quality wrestling, I bought the Kenta Kobashi 5 DVD set from Highspots, which I'm looking forward to cracking open.
I got the chance to see a few movies on DVD recently. One of which was The Damned United, which was much better than I anticipated. It avoids most sports movie clichés, and has some outstanding performances from Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall. I also caught David Cronenberg's Videodrome, which I did not care for, and Terrence Malick's debut Badlands, which I loved. As for music, I enjoyed Johnny Cash's final album American VI: Ain't No Grave thoroughly from start to finish, while the new Jimi Hendrix album, Valleys of Neptune, was average at best.

Hello from central Iowa...
Sorry, I missed this thread before posting some replys...sorry.
My wife and I have been building our own home...2238 W/ 3 car built using ICF's. This week we hit a mile stone of having it drywalled. We've been doing all the work...plumbing, electrica, subfloor, framing stacking the blocks, infloor radiant heat, the whole thing. Stressful you bet...wouldn't have it any other way!
I just found this group and it looks like there's a lot of good questions and from what I can tell great responses. I look forward to learning more from others and hopefully I can provide a bit of advice along the way.
See you around!
This site is a great place.
A lot of really great people giving great advice.
Building your own house?
Wow, that's wonderful.
I bet when you are done, it will certainly be done properly.
I had a house built by a contractor approx. 3 years ago.
I am presently renovating my basement, the whole thing, framing insulating drywalling, electrical, plumbing, etc, etc.
I already have learned so many things that my contractor either did not do, and missed, or could have done better.
So, good for you for doing your own house.
Best of luck.
Once your house has been drywalled, you can really get the feel of it! Congratulations on building your own house! It's great to have you on the site. Please post pictures as you go!
Hello also from central Iowa (Grimes)

Rives Kistler (born 1949) is an American attorney and judge in the state of Oregon. After college and law school on the East Coast, he moved to Oregon where he worked in private practice before joining the Oregon Department of Justice. Kistler then joined the Oregon Court of Appeals before appointment to the Oregon Supreme Court in 2003.
Rives Kistler earned his undergraduate degree at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, earning a BA.[1] He then earned a master's degree at the University of North Carolina before attending law school.[1] Justice Kistler graduated summa cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 1981. After graduation, he served as a law clerk for Charles Clark, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and for Lewis F.

On completing his clerkships, Kistler went into private practice as a litigation associate for Stoel Rives LLP in Portland, Oregon from 1983 to 1987.

Re: An ACME Arsenal
ACME is the American Company that Makes Everything. Literally.
Though best known for its use by Wile E. Coyote, ACME is actually a generic company that is used in many different places in order to avoid using the name of a real company (which may open the way for lawsuits).
This design is comprised of 26 different items, one for each letter of the alphabet. If you're like Wile E. Coyote, I'm sure you could figure out a way to use each of them to catch that darned roadrunner.
These items are inspired by ACME products as I remember them from Saturday morning cartoons. A few of them have actually been used.
Some of these items could be taken as references to other things. There's one reference to Pokemon, for instance. Two other items could be seen as references to xkcd and McGyver. ;)

North Rhine--Westphalia Emigration and Immigration
Back to Prussia-Westfalen Page►
Here is a link to emigrants from Kreis Herford
Seasonal workers (Hollandgänger)
In order to support themselves, the landless population of preindustrial Germany had to resort to seasonal work. Causes were diminished fertile land and social structures. Many farmers' sons and daughters found themselves without any economic prospects due to inheritance laws (the father's farm went to a single heir also known as "Anerbenrecht"). The trend was to migrate in order to find work. Most migrants found an occupation within a ten to 30 miles radius. Some were not as lucky and had to look for work farther away from home, sometimes 100 miles away. Between sewing and harvest most were able to earn enough money to pay their rent and to survive the winter. Each spring and autumn the roads in Germany were filled with villagers who were seeking employment. Some such workers were known as "Hollandgänger".
Thousands of migrant workers from Northern Germany hired on as seasonal workers in the Netherlands, especially in the provinces of Holland and Friesland. They worked as gardeners, turf workers, seamen or hired on at the East Indian Company. People also found work as masons, carpenters, and stucco workers. Other Germans went to the Netherlands to become soldiers, and women found work as servant girls or worked in linen factories.
The trend to search for seasonal work in the Netherlands goes back to 1620 and continued into the second half of the 19th century. The Dutch became a predominant maritime power and needed many workers, especially seasonal workers, since their own workers migrated to the cities. In Germany, the situation for landless laborers or peasants with plots too small to support a family became direr. Therefore, finding work for six to 12 weeks was a welcome opportunity.
Hollandgänger came from what is known today as Emsland, Osnabrück, Cloppenburg and Vechta. It is estimated that every third to fourth man in these areas was involved in Hollandgängerei.
It is known that migrant workers preferred certain cities in the Netherlands. Many citizens from Lienen/Steinfurt went to the Netherlands (Linschoten) as well as many workers from the Earldom of Tecklenburg. The Lidmatenboek of the Reformed church in Linschoten has a record of some 34 migrants who originated in Lienen. These were usually young men who settled to have families.
Here is a list of men whose origins go back to Lienen.
After 1870 the situation in Germany changed and workers were no longer dependent on seasonal work.

Maryland scored both of its goals on first-half penalty corners as Sarah Sprink and Ali McEvoy scored on 13:25 and 20:34, respectively. The former came on the direct shot, while McEvoy developed on a pass play in front of the cage.
The Wolverines threatened throughout the second half, outshooting the Terps, 7-5, in the frame. Senior captain Rachael Mack (Bromsgrove, England/Bromsgrove School) headlined the U-M offensive attack with seven shots, including four on goal and four in the second half.
Shots were an even 13-13 in the contest, while Maryland narrowly outcornered the Wolverines, 6-5. Fifth-year senior goalkeeper Haley Jones (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer HS) posted a season-high seven saves in the Michigan cage, while the Terps Natalie Hunter stopped all five U-M shots on goal.
The Wolverines will return home on Friday (Sept. 27) to host Missouri State at 4 p.m. at Phyllis Ocker Field before traveling to Evanston, Ill., to kick off the Big Ten Conference season against Northwestern at noon CDT on Sunday (Sept. 29).

Tonight, the Chili family will participate, yet again, in the O'Mama Family Passover Seder.
I have written here before about how honored I am that my friends choose to include me, a pretty outspoken non-believer, in their traditions (also, and not for nothing, I think that this stands in support of the fact that, regardless of how I may come across in print sometimes, I really am pretty tolerant of others' beliefs). I'm looking forward to a night of fellowship, laughter, and lots and lots of good food.
Last week, Martin came to my school to talk to my students about growing up in Nazi Germany. When he touched upon the Nuremberg Laws, I pointed out to my students that, under those statues, I would have been considered a Jew; my mother's mother's grandmother was a Jew, and that tenuous link would have been enough to condemn me. I have often said of myself, though, that I must have some strange combination of Jewish-Italian grandmother in me, because one of the primary ways I express love and care for people is that I feed them.
This afternoon, I put together a strange sort of matzo, toffee, chocolate, and sea salt dessert to bring to the (already bountiful) Seder, and my initial impressions of my efforts are that I won't be bringing any leftovers home. O'Mama has been jonesing for this stuff ever since I told her it was my planned contribution, and I hope that she likes it as much as she's hoping to; it certainly LOOKS yummy.

Why Is It So Hard To Forgive?
Human behavior suggests that people are "hard-wired" to retaliate when they have been hurt by another person. Our pride or self-esteem is injured. Our expectations or dreams are disappointed. We lose something very valuable to us. We want recompense for the damages.
But there are other resistances which block our motivation to forgive. Automatic thoughts or beliefs impede us from forgiving others. We tell ourselves, "I won't forgive because he/she never accepts responsibility for what he/she does" or "I would be a hypocrite if I forgave because I do not feel like forgiving" or "Forgiving is only for weak people".
Explanations for behavior can also get in the way. When someone hurts us or lets us down we tend to assign internal causes for behavior to others. We argue that it is based on personality or character traits. We tell ourselves, "he's just so forgetful or careless" or "she doesn't appreciate me" or "she did that purposefully". We judge them harshly.
But when we do something wrong or hurtful/disappointing we tend to excuse our own behavior by attributing external causes. In those cases we say "my child made a mess" or "there was a car accident on the highway." We tend to let ourselves off the hook and give ourselves permission to fail.
This is what psychologists call the "Fundamental Attribution Error". We assign total responsibility or blame to others for their behavior while explaining away our own negative actions in terms of situational factors. In other words, it's not our fault because….
It's important to note that understanding and accepting the error in behavior does not relieve the offending person of moral responsibility. Forgiving someone does not cancel out the consequences of their actions. The goal is to promote empathy and forgiveness and look more realistically at the hurtful events from their point of view." This involves thinking the best of people rather than jumping to harsh conclusions about their character or intentions.
Lack of empathy (empathy is the psychological highway to forgive others) for others can also get in the way of our ability to forgive. We can develop empathy for others by beginning to change our way of thinking. It is impossible to fully know why a person acted the way that they did. Make room from grace.
When have you been able to have empathy for someone who has hurt you? Ask yourself "do I want things bitter or better?" Forgiveness has a huge impact on our own health and feelings. Forgiveness is not so much about the other person as it is about our own hearts. Forgiveness is for our benefit, but so often things get in the way. Think of a time when you have needed forgiveness.
Don't let resentment imprison you for life, it will destroy you and your other relationships. Lewis Smedes wrote: "To forgive is to set the prisoner free…and to discover that the prisoner was you." Let go of the pain. Give it to God. For God alone understands more than anyone the pain and humiliation you feel. Jesus felt more pain, rejection and humiliation than any person.
Letting go of your hurts is often not an overnight experience. It takes time, but as you work toward it you'll find that it is worth the effort. Ask God to give you the grace to forgive.
The ability to forgive is rooted in being forgiven ourselves. In the Bible it says that God loves the world so much that he sent his only son so that we could be forgiven. As people we all make mistakes, not one of us can live up to the standard God set on our own. But God promises that if we accept what Jesus did for us, we can be forgiven. The slate can be wiped clean no matter what has happened in the past. God promises us strength for today and bright hope for the future. Whatever happened in your yesterdays God can take care of all of your tomorrows.
You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer. Praying is simply talking to God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. Here's a suggested prayer:
Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life to you and ask you to come in as my Saviour and Lord. Take control of my life. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Make me the kind of woman you want me to be.
If this prayer expresses the desire of your heart, pray it right now and Christ will come into your life as He promised. If you invited Jesus Christ into your life, thank God often that He is in your life, that He will never leave you and that you have eternal life. As you learn more about your relationship with God, and how much He loves you, you'll experience life to the fullest.

I do remember how great our love with my girlfriend was, its was unconditional love that you feel inside your heart. But it happen some mistakes for a certain condition that made me to abuse her and called her "cheap". Well I find my self angry until I had no control for my furious made me to abuse her that way. We felt so weak and she tried to move on and she didn't find that love we had. I had tried to forget her but deeply still believe we love each other but that word is an obstacle. We tried to re union again but still its hard for her to forgive me and honestly I regret the day I abused her.
I have hurt my sister very badly I lashed out in anger and told her to stuff her life. I feel terrible as I am a long term christian and I have hurt people before but not in such a way as this she told not to contact but I rang to say I was sorry but I havent heard from her she is not a christian I know I have behaved badly and what she did did not really warrant what I said to her both of us are suffering now emotionally and I am geting depressed about what I have done now.

Hi Martin Heins's wife, I can relate to you so well. My husband's family is evil to me except my father-in-law. How can you forgive these people if they do not know how to even acknowledge it? Same as you, I am tired of being treated as if I am nothing. And same as you, I am a peace loving person. Its just that this people are full of insecurities and hang-ups in life and they are making me as their outlet to release these and I think I do not deserve this nor anyone does.
Forgiving is not so much a difficult move, as a dumb one. None are more hopeleßly imprisoned, than those who falsely believe they are free. So those who forgive are too, hopeleß prisoners to their offenders.
"We had forgotten our past, and now it was costing us our future…and even our souls." – Lorne Lanning, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus
Why does the prayer only say woman on this page?
Hi M.Jantzen and Jamie
This is Martin Heins's wife. Martin doesn't know it, but I accidentally stumbled upon his post.
Let me give my version of the story. I met Martin at the tender age of 17 years old and ever since that time his mother always made it clear in her actions and her words (even to my own mother) that I am not good enough for Martin. She bad-mouthed me with his brothers and to my mind she poisoned them. They, particularly, their eldest brother would gossip about me with his mother. I was even told that she made fun of how I cried infront of her and our Pastor. I educated myself and this just caused further problems because now they felt intimidated as Martin and I were acquiring wealth (no we are not millionnaires) that they didn't have. Martin's mother particularly saw me as an intruder who was taking her son and his money away from her. This is just a tit-bit of what I have been through over the past 18 years.
Martin, while he is a loving husband, he has let me down many a times by allowing his family to bad mouth me in his presence. I would then leave with my tail in between my legs as I would also say nothing. It would only be when we arrived at home when he would acknowledge that he saw and heard what they had said or done, but that he was to scared to do anything about it. Thus, i was sacrificed all these years. I was stepped on all the years.
I have gone back many a times to them, even apologising to them when I didn't feel I should have done so, but it was all thrown back in my face. I felt kicked in the teeth, while my husband just looked on as I, his wife, was 'beaten' for no reason. Yes, for no reason and Martin has agreed many times.
All in all, I perhaps do have a problem with forgiving, but I am tired of being insulted and ridiculed. I don't believe that this is what God wants for my life.
Martin's family will even insult him calling him 'weak' and he would just say nothing.
Just today, Martin and I were talking about how our own christian values and principles clash with that off his families. To type it all here would take me a couple of months.
Yes I am not perfect, but my goodness I am a human being and I have my limits. I am tired of being treated like I am nothing.
I pray often about my situation often to God…it is definitely still a work in progress.
I am a peach loving person myself
I cant forgive !!!!
Hi there,
My father is a very bad man, he's worldly and does not believe in God and has a relationship with Jesus. however he claims he does and uses the whole "christian appearance to fool other believers" at one point he did go to church and was doing very well but then his worldly ways got back to him and has been down-hill since ( so to speak)
Growing up and seeing him become this way is very hard – it has caused damage in the way i see him as a father and a role model… now becoming a man and having children of my own – i feel my dad gets jealous with me as im becoming the man he probably once dreamed to be and he knows i have a good head on me… however this causes conflict between him and i, as he feels at the end of the day i am his son and that i should never be over the top smarter or he thinks im trying to over him making him look like a bad man, to be honest we had an argument a month ago and i find it hard to forgive someone who my whole life so far when we have argued or got in to a bit of a heated almost physical fight i find i always go back to forgiving him, but not once has he come to me and asked for forgiveness or said he was sorry?? … is it just me or does forgiving him 70000000000 not working… as i find its a cycle of me making up and saying sorry then again it happens 3 months down the track .. . its not that i forget ive tried in last 20 years and it just seems he gets bitter and more frustrated with his own personal life he feels to put his anger easier on me,as i'm meant to be the forgiving guy right? and will step down and humble it but i find im not the cause of this …… i keep the peace .. we haven't talked lately as its awkward
I actually am the kind of person who embraces forgiveness with ease. I love to maintain peace with all humans but recently, out of the hurt, pains, humiliation and rejection I suffered from my now ex, I find it hard to let go of resentment and anger. Even though I try to pretend but it doesn't just work. I think the issue is in the forgetting and this has affected me so well (health-wise and emotionally) I feel revenge and rage in me especially whenever I see him. I really want to forgive and forget but how can I achieve this? It is only God who can grant me this grace
People don't forgive because of pride, they think that their status is so important than forgiving, but we are not the same, some can forgive now and others is takes a long time to heal that scar.
I'm very confused about this:
"Forgiving someone does not cancel out the consequences of their actions."
I don't think you can say "I forgive you" then suddenly punish him/her anyway due to the past.
God said he forgive sins, and that means letting the past go and starting a new; Jesus cleans out our sins, and gives us another chance to heaven.
Saying "forgiving sin" but then still must be punish doesn't really sound like Jesus.
Unless your talking about responsible to avoid further sins rather than putting someone in jail when the person already changed and wants another chance.
Forgiving of course doesn't mean it's "ok" to re offend, but I do believe forgiving is to also let go of the charges too from you. Otherwise if not, that's like saying Jesus will punish you anyway when you die.
That's what it just sounds like to me. Haha

I know all cars break in and adjust to thier owners differently, but I was wondering if there were any consistent quarks (improvements/problems) people notice during these milestones? Just so those of us behind, know what to expect.
I 'll also ackowledge that w/ the vast range of mods out there, it'll be hard to gauge this, but I think most of us can discern if a change is due to a mod or just the car growing-up.
For example, at 4K miles, I started to notice the car is not as quiet or smooth when idle, but seems smoother during driving (acceleration, shifting, etc), which I think is an improvement. Also, the car seems louder w/ more rumble. I like this too. And no, she's still bone stock.
This thread may go no where cause there are SOOO many variables, but there's got to be some consistent changes.
Thanks for tuning in,

How to build a new front axle.....
Don't know how many of the Toy folks have looked at my Jeep build, but built a new front axle for it (Using Toy axles under it, as they held up for me well)..
I have a spare housing, so if I destroy it, I'm not out much money.
So, first step is to chop up the old axle. Cut off the knuckle balls, and then cut the tubes off by the housing.
Then cut the housing more to fit the new tubes, which are 3.25 x 0.250 DOM. Plasma made this a little easier.
|February 28th, 2009, 08:35 PM
Covered in mud...
So, next, I worked on the balls
I've seen a few different people rig up something to hold it in the lathe, but didn't see the need. I trimmed the excess tube just past the end of the knuckle ball with a grinder. Then you can use a 3-jaw chuck to grab the inside of the knuckle shank. Then ran a bull-nose live center into the machined inner diameter of the other side, worked fine. Just had to be carefull as I turned them, as I was working very close to the chuck. Carriage stop is your friend here.
I was assured my lathe was the latest model then I bought it
While I was working with the lathe, I made 6 other pieces to align things. 2 for the knuckles, 2 for the tubes and 2 for the differential. The knuckles, once the old tube is removed, have a 70mm outer dimension, which is 2.756". So they just need a little bit removed to be a light press fit into the axle tubes. The inner dimension of the knuckles is 40mm, so the alignment pieces are made to fit in there, from some scrap 1.75 x 0.250 dom. A 1.25" alignment bar is going through everything to hold it all straight. I used some pucks of aluminum to make spacers to fit in place of the carrier bearings. The bearings are 79.95mm OD.
Spacers which fit into the 40mm bore on the knuckles. The smaller diameter fits into the 40mm bore. The next step up fits inside the seal surface. Then I left a little bit bigger after that, in case I needed something to grab onto with a gear puller, if things got too bound up.
|February 28th, 2009, 08:37 PM
Covered in mud...
To align everything, I got a piece of 1.25" x 60" stressproof steel, which has been ground, trued, and polished.
The third member was bolted back into the housing chuck, and the alignment bar was slid in. Then the knuckles were slid on, on their alignment tubes, and I could measure up the axle tubes.
Here's a side shot, you can see all the pieces which keep it aligned.
|February 28th, 2009, 08:39 PM

Weld it slowly, let it cool, weld some more. I would weld a stretch, then weld directly across from it, to hopefully let both sides kinda pull evenly to prevent warping.
I ended up making it 4" wider on the long side, 1" wider on the short side, should be a hair over 61" WMS. Diff is shifted 1.5" over to the passenger side from stock.
Welded up:
Alignment bar shot with the spacer removed, still pretty good and straight. Note, you can see that the diff is rotated upwards compared with stock. Its 7* more than stock, so I can run 2-3* more caster for streetability, and still have the pinion up 4-5* as well.
Here's the new axle next to a stock 1985 axle:
I'll eventually be doing some bracing between the tube and center section, but I want to get my track bar mount in place first. Some internal gusseting is in order as well, and knuckle gussets, but those will be after I get my link and shock mounts in place, as they will tie together.

Looks good great tech. I picked up some fj60 axles with 9.5 ring and pinion and was thinking of doing the samething with the bigger diff. Where you going to get the longer axles made? Does Bobby longe provide custom axles?
|March 2nd, 2009, 08:05 PM
Covered in mud...
With the narrow toy axles, you can't get the shocks outboard enough to not bang into the frame at full droop. I would have had notch the frame heavily. , which I don't want to do.
So, this gets me back to the width I wanted to run (was designed to run all my toyota driveline including the diamond front axle I had, but I sold the whole truck).
|March 15th, 2009, 03:52 PM
Covered in mud...
The axle tubes are stronger, in terms of bending, than, say the 2.75x0.375 common on 3/4 ton dana 44s. So the tubes themselves don't need anything for a truss.
The knuckles will get a small knuckle gusset between the ball and the shock mounts.
