text: Benedict Cumberbatch to feature "in some shape or form" in Sherlock Holmes exhibition The Museum of London will trace Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation from his literary beginnings to BBC1's modern-day incarnation Comments Written By Paul Jones 4:27 PM, 08 January 2014 A Museum of London exhibition is to place Sherlock Holmes under the microscope, examining the traits that define Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 125-year-old creation as well as his intimate relationship with his native city of London. Visitors will see the literary beginnings of the great detective brought to life by exhibits including original issues of The Strand Magazine, in which the stories were first published, and artwork by Sidney Paget, the man who gave Sherlock Holmes not only his famous aquiline profile but also his trademark deerstalker hat. But the exhibition will also bring the detective up to date by referencing BBC1's hugely popular series Sherlock, currently in the midst of its third season. A spokesperson told RadioTimes.com "I can promise that Benedict Cumberbatch will feature, in some shape or form". As to exactly what form that will take, fans will have to wait and see, with organisers adding "This is just the tip of the iceberg – there will be big announcements later in the year". And after all, what would Sherlock Holmes be without a bit of mystery...? The Museum of London Sherlock Holmes exhibition opens on Friday 17 October 2014 and runs until Sunday 12 April 2015. It is billed as the first major temporary exhibition of Sherlock Holmes in London for over 60 years, since the 1951 Festival of Britain. Follow @RadioTimes Like this? Share it.

How Telcos and Other MSPs Are Succeeding in Cloud
July 18, 2016,
Posted By: Michael Crandell
With the advent and strong adoption of public cloud services, the initial strategy of many telcos and larger MSPs was to build their own public or private clouds. However, as hyperscale clouds have continued to expand their service capabilities, service providers are now shifting their strategies. As their customers are quickly adopting public cloud from the hyperscale providers, forward-thinking MSPs are looking at new ways to add value.
Pivoting to Cloud: Why an MSP Chose RightScale
August 25, 2015,
Posted By: Bret Clement
When managed services provider Offis decided to expand its offerings to include cloud infrastructure, the company chose a multi-cloud strategy. With this approach, Offis could avoid lock-in to a single cloud provider and offer its customers — including companies as diverse as VW and Westfield — the same level of expertise and service no matter if the company was hosting in its own data center or in the cloud.

Durham, N.C. (UPI) Apr 19, 2011
Earth has more barrier islands, strips of sand parallel to a coast but separated from it by estuaries or lagoons, than previously thought, U.S. researchers say.
Scientists at Duke University and Meredith College used satellite images, topographical maps and navigational charts to identify a total of 2,149 of the offshore deposits of sand and sediment, a significant increase of the 1,492 counted in 2001 before the public availability of satellite imagery.
All told, the 2,149 barrier islands measure 12,913 miles in length, and are found along all the continents except Antarctica and in all oceans, a Duke release said Tuesday.
Taken together, barrier islands make up roughly 10 percent of the Earth's continental shorelines, the researchers said.
Barrier islands help protect low-lying mainland coasts from erosion and storm damage and can be important wildlife habitats.
Unlike stationary coastal land forms, barrier islands build up, erode, migrate and rebuild over time in response to waves, tides, currents and other physical processes in the open ocean environment, the researchers said.
The survey results have been published in the Journal of Coastal Research.
"This provides proof that barrier islands exist in every climate and in every tide-wave combination," Duke geology professor Orrin H. Pilkey said.
"We found that everywhere there is a flat piece of land next to the coast, a reasonable supply of sand, enough waves to move sand or sediment about, and a recent sea-level rise that caused a crooked shoreline, barrier islands exist."

Oxygenation At A Depth Of 120 Meters Can Save The Baltic Sea
Gothenburg, Sweden (SPX) Apr 20, 2011
Oxygenation brings dead sea bottoms to life. This creates the necessary conditions for the establishment of new ecosystems that enable nature itself to deal with eutrophication. By conducting pilot studies in two fjords in Sweden, researchers at the University of Gothenburg have demonstrated that pumping oxygen-rich surface water down to sea bottoms is effective.

Mark Milke is a Calgary author and columnist who has written multiple reports on subsidies to business.
If federal Access to Information records dated back to Confederation, it is possible that we might know of another corporation, still in business, that has been a chronic recipient of taxpayer funds longer than Bombardier Inc.
Absent such data, it appears that the Montreal-based company is the oldest business in the business of seeking government funds.
Bombardier received its first subsidy from the federal government in 1966. That was 50 years ago. It was a "conditionally repayable contribution," which means a company has to be successful in whatever project the loan is attached to, or taxpayers are not repaid. That 1966 taxpayer cheque for $5.25-million would be worth $37.5-million in 2015 dollars (to which all following amounts are adjusted).
That is one reason for the federal government to deny Bombardier yet another taxpayer-funded "investment" – political-speak for corporate welfare or subsidies to business. In the spirit of David Letterman, let's count that first bit of government lolly to Bombardier as reason No. 10 to deny the company more tax dollars.
Reason No. 9 why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should close the door on yet another Bombardier cash call? Because the company's latest request for almost $1-billion (U.S.) – $1.4-billion Canadian – would be its 51st request to the federal government in 50 years.
Reason No. 8, and this is a long one: If Bombardier is granted yet more taxpayer money, it would be in addition to the almost $1.2-billion granted or lent to the company by the federal government since 1966. There was another $1.2-billion in corporate welfare to another aerospace company, de Havilland, which Bombardier swallowed in 1992, and almost $1.4-billion "invested" last year by provincial taxpayers in Quebec. Add all that up, and you have $3.8-billion (again, that's in 2015 Canadian dollars) to Bombardier.
Reason No. 7: Bombardier has not paid back previous past monies delivered to it by the federal government. Over the years, I have filed multiple Access to Information requests to obtain such information. Bombardier went to federal court to block detailed repayment records. Last November, Industry Canada noted that the company has repaid $543-million – much less than the company has received (and not adjusted for inflation).
Reason No. 6: Corporate welfare designed to "save jobs" does nothing of the sort. It simply "recycles" employment from one jurisdiction to another, depending on which government is the latest "mark" for a subsidy-seeking corporation.
Reason No. 5: Over the past week, Canada's energy companies have announced the following layoffs: Husky: 500 people in addition to 280 last fall and 1,000 contractors. Suncor: 1,700 employees over the past year. Cenovus: 1,500 workers. StatOil: 220 employees. TransCanada: about 500 employees. Precision Drilling: as many as 4,000 workers.
Despite those layoffs, no corporate welfare is planned for the energy sector. And nor should it be: These and other corporations are restructuring to survive. That's how healthy companies are created.
Reason No. 4: Rescuing one company (again) means that tax dollars must be taken from other, more successful enterprises.
Reason No. 3: The latest data from the Canada Revenue Agency shows that those Canadians with taxable income below $20,000 (1,545,240 Canadians) paid slightly more than $1.5-billion in federal income tax in 2013. At about $1,000 per low-income taxpayer, and assuming that 2016 figures will mimic previous years, most of those 1.5 million taxpayers will pay about $1,000 each in federal income tax this year – just to be sent to Bombardier.
That brings up reason No. 2 to deny Bombardier more government funding: Another $1.4-billion in taxpayer cash will end up helping the company's share price. That, as The Globe's Eric Reguly pointed out Wednesday, would reward the "Bombardier and Beaudoin family members who remain in control of the company in spite of their epic management sins."
The No. 1 reason Bombardier should be denied yet another taxpayer infusion of cash? Because no sensible case can be made for sending more corporate welfare to a company for 50 years – fully one-third of Canada's post-Confederation history.Report Typo/Error

A&E patients will be shipped out to Brentwood and Billericay as Basildon Hospital's emergency department creaks at the seams.
Bosses at NHS South Essex have authorised the reopening of closed wards at Brentwood Community Hospital and Billericay's Mayflower Hospital this winter because Basildon is struggling to cope with the number of people coming in.
The hospital – which serves Thurrock – has seen a 9 per cent increase in admissions compared to 2011 levels and expects that figure to grow as temperatures fall.
Eight beds at Mayflower and 25 in Brentwood, which were closed last year as part of a cost-cutting drive to save £1.36million, will be reopened to meet the demand.
At a meeting of the hospital's board, new chief executive Clare Panniker said: "There is no strong grip on what's driving the increase in admissions or analysis to pin down the source.
"Lots of trusts have seen increases of two, three and 4 per cent, but we have seen 9 per cent, which is unusual."
Adam Sewell-Jones, finance director, added: "This is good news as it will relieve some of the pressure, but it's not going to solve the problem." The extra wards, which open on November 19, will be occupied by patients who need long-term treatment.
The hospital has missed its performance target of seeing all A&E patients within 60 minutes, with some waiting as much as five hours to be treated.
Fines of £140,000 from the Government could follow.
Hospital trust chairman Ian Luder told the board it could not solve the crisis alone and needed help from higher authorities.
He said: "We need action now to prepare for next winter because this is not going to go away."

Mouse-ridden takeaway pair in court no-show
Date published: 01 May 2014
OWNERS of a town-centre takeaway failed to attend court to face food hygiene charges over an alleged mouse infestation.
A warrant has now been issued for the arrest of Iram Bibi and Safraz Rouf, who operated the now-closed Oldham Fisheries in Union Street, Oldham.
The owners were due to appear before Oldham magistrates yesterday, each to face 10 food hygiene charges.
Council officers reportedly found three dead mice on the premises, as well as mouse droppings among herbs and spices on work surfaces and cooking equipment. The charges stem from an inspection in May 2013.
Oldham Council has undertaken a host of inspections and legal action against town-centre restaurants and takeaways in recent months.
The two operators of Oldham Fisheries are accused of failing to control pests and of not having any food-safety management system in place, plus other charges relating to general cleanliness
Yet another filth ridden takeaway in Oldham. When is someone going to take this seriously and close these places down permanently at the first instance. They should also put in places the means to ensure that the owner/operators can never open or work in another fodd establishment.
Is it perhaps about time, in order to salvage something of Oldham's rapidly-diminishing reputation for good eateries, that we culled large swathes of these establishments?
Food poisoning or the possibility of finding a few mouse droppings in your curry/kebab, isn't going to enamour the town to potential visitors.
Slightly different names, different takeaway, but the story remains the same.
For anyone who doesn't realise the seriousness then go to You Tube and search for 'Rat on Kebab' truly sickening !
Not one week seems to pass without a local food outlet being investigated or prosecuted for failure of hygiene and associated issues. When will these people learn that food hygiene is of the utmost importance for every persons life?
Beats me why anybody bothers to eat in these establishments knowing their dodgy reputations .
it's getting beyond a joke the standard of food hygene around the town centre. don't think that i'll be using any fast food outlets in oldham for some considerable time...
Of course it's being taken seriously or there wouldn't be all these prosecutions. The powers to close offenders permanently relies on the courts and it's unlikely that closure would be granted on a first attempt.
There's a simple solution we could all help in dealing with this. If you can't see a council 4 or 5 point food hygiene rating displayed in the window, don't buy from it.
THese places should be checked on a weekly basis once this as happened..... And should be shut down do these people have food Hygiene Certificates Why are the allowed to constantly flout the law ,They show no respect for the anything the people that run these places And ignore the Law on nearly every count
Again I have to agree with JMTS. The fact that we are seeing so many prosecutions shows that the Council ARE taking it seriously and ARE doing something about it.

Despite delivering a series of flops, Ileana D'Cruz has continued to be the top actress of the South Indian film industries. The highest paid gal of the regional films, who is being overlooked by many Telugu producers after her fallout with Shakti makers, has become a favourite actress in other film industries. After signing Shankar's forthcoming Kollywood film Nanban, she has now reportedly bagged Rajinikanth's multilingual Rana.
There have been reports about Ileana being roped in for one of the female leads in Rana but neither the actress nor the makers of the film have confirmed the news. Later, it was learnt that producer Soundarya Rajinikanth wanted to cast the Goan beauty in her another film Dheera, which was titled before as Sultan. But the actress turned down the offer, as the role did not appeal her.
Now, sources have confirmed that Ileana has been approached by KS Ravikumar for the second lead role in Rana. The filmmaker has made some changes from the original script. Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone is playing the main female lead role. It is believed that both the actresses will share equal footage. However, the director has refused to confirm and claims that they will announce the news about the cast in a few days.
Rana is a historical movie, which is jointly produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth and Eros International. Oscar Award winner AR Rahman will score the music for the film and Rathnavelu will handle the camera. The movie will hit the floors on October 3.

TRIBUTES have been paid to a Milford Haven man, who died in a motorbike accident in the early hours of Monday morning.
The man, in his mid-30s, has been named locally as Luke John Allerton. He was taken to hospital after a collision on The Rath, Milford Haven, but could not be saved.
The incident happened at about 12.15am, and the road was closed for several hours while police examined the scene.
Friends and family have left flowers near to where the incident happened, along with messages of condolence to 'Luke the duke'- as he was also known.
The accident is the third fatal motorcycle crash in Pembrokeshire in recent weeks.
Speaking yesterday, Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner Christopher Salmon said: "It's always distressing to hear of untimely deaths – and I'm constantly reminded by the people of Dyfed-Powys that they see road safety as hugely important.
"I wouldn't wish to comment on specific incidents, but I do implore everybody across Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Powys to use our roads with care and respect.
"Anti-social driving, for instance, remains a big problem. Dyfed-Powys Police has doubled its patrols to tackle this issue and is making more resources available.
"I've just agreed to the purchase of two more unmarked police motorbikes to be used for speed enforcement duties, general patrols and road safety campaigns.
"Meanwhile, the police force continues to discuss road safety issues with the Welsh Government."
Police are looking to speak to anyone who may have witnesses the crash on The Rath. Anyone with information should call police on 101.

To Cordelia:
Here is a line of descent from William Amos that looks like it may be your line.
It is a 5 generation chart and I appologize for the size of this document.
Frank Neher
I am also interested in your mention of AMOS. I am also descended from William
Amos see 5 generation descendant chart:

in 1773. He and his wife were buried on the family homestead but when the
property (later called Mt Soma) went out of the possesion of his descendants,
their remains were moved to the Fallston cemetery at the Friends Meeting House.
He was not a Quaker but his son William was. William Amos, Sr. was laid to rest
beside his son's grave and a stone properly acquired at that time was engraved
"William Amos of England. Died 1759" Of his wife we know only that her name was
Ann, shown by the register of births of their children and by the mention in his

purchases and possession of more than 1300 acres in Baltimore County. His Will
was written Sept 24, 1757 and was proven Mar 10, 1759. Baltimore Co. Will Book 2

Game Notes for April 18
Principal Park - Des Moines, IA
By Iowa Cubs | April 18, 2014 3:49 PM ET
TONIGHT'S GAME: The Iowa Cubs and New Orleans Zephyrs play the final game of a four-game series. The Zephyrs are the Pacific Coast League affiliate of the Miami Marlins. This is the fourth game of an eight-game home stand. The Cubs will host the Round Rock Express for a four-game series starting tomorrow night. The Express are the PCL affiliate of the Texas Rangers.
WINNIN' UGLY: The Cubs committed a season-high six errors, but beat the Zephyrs 5-4 yesterday afternoon at Principal Park. It was the most errors in a game for the Cubs since July 21, 2004 at Nashville. The Cubs committed six errors that day and lost 16-3 against the Sounds. SS Logan Watkins and SP Eric Jokisch each committed two errors in the game. Jokisch leads all PCL pitchers with four errors through three starts. He also leads in total chances (14), and assists (8). The Cubs have committed 16 errors in 14 games and are tied with Memphis and Salt Lake for the most errors in the league. The Iowa franchise record for errors in a game is eight set in 1974 and matched again in 1978.
ELEMENTARY MY DEAR WATKINS: IF Logan Watkins didn't let a couple of early miscues on defense distract him from continuing his hot hitting. He was 2-for-2 with an RBI, a run scored, and a sacrifice bunt yesterday, extending his hitting streak to five games. That ties Arismendy Alcantara for the longest hitting streak for a Cub this season. Watkins was 0-for-13 through his first six games of the year, is batting 6-for-14 (.429) with five runs scored and four RBI during this streak.
HERE HE COMES TO SAVE THE DAY: RH Brian Schlitter allowed a run in the top of the ninth inning yesterday, but earned his second save in as many days in this series. Yesterday's save was the 35th save of his Iowa career, moving him into sole possession of second place on Iowa's career saves list. Blake Parker is the all-time leader with 42, including one earlier this season before getting called up by Chicago.
HOLD ON: RH Neil Ramirez pitched a scoreless eighth inning yesterday and was credited with his third "hold" in middle relief. Ramirez is one of five pitchers in the PCL with three holds on the season. Yesterday was his fifth appearance of the year.
VS. ZEPHYRS: The Cubs lead this series 2-1. These two clubs are scheduled to meet 16 times this season. The Zephyrs will return to Principal Park for another four- game series, July 21-24. The Cubs will visit Zephyr Field in Metairie, May 6-9 and July 29-August 1. Last year,
the Zephyrs won the season series 11-5, including five of eight at Principal Park.The Zephyrs have won the season series and the series at Principal Park in each of the last two seasons. The Zephyrs lead the all-time series 111-110, but the Cubs hold a 66-51 all-time mark at home.
WINNING WAYS: After an 0-3 start, the Cubs have won eight of their last 11 games and are two games over .500 for the first time this season. The Cubs haven't been two games over .500 since July 4 last season when a comeback win at Albuquerque extended the team's record to 45-43. The Cubs are one win away from matching their April win total for three of the last four seasons. The Cubs haven't had a winning record in April since a 13-8 mark in 2009.
LAIK EFFECT: IF Chris Valaika was 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored yesterday. He has hit safely in seven of his last eight games, batting .440 (11-for- 25) with four doubles, a home run, six RBI, and three runs scored during this stretch. Valaika ranks sixth in the PCL with a .476 (10-for-21) average since April 10.
NO BULL FROM PEN: After allowing 14 runs (13 earned) in 13.2 innings over the first three games of the season, the Cubs bullpen has settled in. Over the last 10 games, the relievers have allowed seven runs in 33.0 innings for a 1.91 ERA and have allowed six walks while recording 35 strikeouts. RH Alberto Cabrera pitched an inning and a third of scoreless relief yesterday and picked up the win. He has earned a win in each of his last two appearances.
ROSSCUP RETURNS: LH Zac Rosscup returns to the Iowa bullpen tonight. He was recalled by Chicago for game two of their split double-header in New York against the Yankees on Wednesday night. Rosscup pitched the final 1.2 innings of the nightcap. He didn't allow a baserunner and struck out one. Rosscup has not allowed a run in 5.2 innings with Iowa this season and hasn't allowed an earned run in 13.1 innings in his Iowa career.

The fiberglass bodied DECO RIDES Boattail Speedster is a true roadster with a bolt on windshield, no roll up side windows, and no top. We can custom build you a soft folding top or a lift off hardtop on special order. The Speedster is offered as a highboy (no fenders) or with your choice of two different full-fendered variations.
The Boattail Speedster body comes including a metal interior support structure in the cowl area and front door posts, in the rear door posts, and across the body behind the seat. The Speedster Kit bodies come with hung and latching doors, a hinged trunk, and includes firewall and floorboard bonded in position. The kit does not include fender metal braces, which are suggested and should be installed by the builder. Because not everyone uses the FATMAN FABRICATIONS frame, we do not offer standard fender braces.
You can order it as a kit car and build it yourself, or have it built at the shop of your choice. We can also build you a complete finished driving "turnkey" using a proven shop of our choice. Kit car bodies are available on short notice (30 to 60 days). FAT MAN FABRICATIONS has designed and builds a rolling chassis specifically for these bodies. His waiting list is approximately 60 days. Turnkeys require at least a nine-month time period, as they are built to your custom order and are built on a pay-as-you-go basis. Kit cars require a 50% deposit at the time the order is placed, and the 50% balance just before the finished body is ready for delivery.
In February 2009, we moved our fiberglass Boattail production to Webster, IN. The result is a higher quality product and far better customer service! It also offers lower prices than our previous fiberglass fabricator. Henceforth, DECO RIDES Boattail bodies will be constructed of hand laid fiberglass. This lay up will consist of 28 mils of gel coat followed by four layers of 1.5 oz cloth and 2 mm Coremat in areas that require it. No "chopper gun" fiberglass is used. Metal interior reinforcement built into the cowl and A-pillar area, the B-pillar area, and area across the rear of the passenger's compartment is included. The doors come "hung" (hinged) with door latches and strikers installed. The decklid is hinged but not latched.
Carbon Fiber Boattail bodies are an option at a substantially higher price (available on request). These bodies will be built with a core throughout the entire body. All steel interior reinforcement will be replaced with structural composite panels and aluminum, including the hinges. The Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari Enzo, and Porche Carrera GT are built this way.
TURNKEYS: This involves the use a rod building shop of our choosing and can take in excess of 9 months to build, with pricing starting at an estimated $80,000 and up, depending on options. All Turnkeys are custom built to order with your choice of engine. Occasionally we sell one of our own turnkeys, often at selected collector car auctions. To give you an idea of the sale price of our finished Boattails, despite a weak economy, our most recent car (BUGNOTTI) sold for $203,500 at the Gooding and Co. Auction in Scottsdale, AZ in January 2009. Because of our experience in building turnkey Boattails, and because we use reasonably priced labor rates with experienced, honest builders, we feel we can build quality turnkeys at a lower cost than many rod shops.
HISTORY: Smitten by the incredible styling of Auburn Boattail Speedsters (1927-1936) in 1998, Terry Cook of DECO RIDES, saw a sketch in RODDERS JOURNAL by the industry's top rod designer, and embarked on a six-year quest to build molds and manufacture the DECO RIDES BOATTAIL fiberglass bodies. The majority of the buck and mold building was accomplished by Mike Ball of northern Indiana. This is the same man who now builds our fiberglass Boattail bodies.
The sketch Terry Cook saw in RODDER'S JOURNAL that inspired him to tackle the boattail project.
Using a Fat Man Fabrications chassis with a V-10 Viper engine, the first Gen One orange and white "Creamsickle" DECO RIDES Boattail Speedster (click to see slide show at top of page) was completed in July 2004. It sold for $137,500 at the RM Auction in Monterey, CA during Pebble Beach week to a Texas collector.
A second Gen One black and silver Boattail with enclosed pontoon rear fenders, powered by a Maserati V-8, was completed in June of 2005, and likewise sold at Pebble Beach in August 2005 for $121,000 to a different Texas collector.
A third fenderless Boattail (C5 Corvette based) was built as a Highboy, complete with real wood laminated on the top body surface to make it look like an old Chris Craft or Riva speedboat. Fully enclosed Gen Two pontoon fenders were added to that car in late 2006 and it sold at the Seabrook, TX John Kruse Auction in 2007 at the Keels & Wheels Concours for $117,000 to an Arizona collector.
The fourth DECO RIDES "BUGNOTTI" Boattail, a Gen Two model with Type 57 Bugatti grille, was sold Jan. 17, 2009 at the Gooding and Company auction in Scottsdale for $203,500 despite the weak economic climate. DECO has two other turnkey Boattail Speedsters currently under construction for future sale.
There's an important message to be learned here. Today, 1932 and 1934 Ford roadsters rarely ever sell for $100,000 or more. Despite how much you pour into them financially when building them, because they are so "common" and so plentiful, anyone who can sell one for more than $40,000 is lucky. It's a simple example of the law of Supply and Demand. Our DECO Boatails, because they are unique, have never sold at auction for less than $100,000. And if you spend a few more dollars for the Delahaye or Bugatti style grille shell, you increase the value and raise the selling price!
There is an important lesson to be learned in the above paragraph. The prices the above cars sold for at collector car auctions were all greater than $100,000 because the DECO RIDES Boattail is not just another '32 or '37 Ford. Common kit cars fetch "common" resale prices. The DECO Boattail has truly beautiful styling inspired by some of history's best looking classics.
In addition to the roadster body, this includes a pair of enclosed "pontoon" style rear fenders. You have an option of leaving them enclosed or cutting a wheel well opening in the rear fenders to expose the rear tire if you so desire (See orange and white "Creamsickle" car in slide show at top of page). If using the enclosed rear "pontoon," the fenders need to be removed in order to change rear tires, or you can build your car so they flip up and forward. Hardware for this flip rear fender trick is not included and is a do-it-yourself installation.
The Gen One rear fenders are different from the Gen Two fenders. By observing the photos you can see that the leading portion of the rear fender drops perpendicular to the ground, where the Gen Two fenders tuck and continue to roll under. The Gen One kit includes a one-piece "tilt type" front end with hood, side panels, grille shell with two open front fenders all bonded into one piece. The grille shell and grille for the Gen One car is a chopped and severely modified Auburn nose, and a bolt-in aluminum aftermarket grille is available as an extra cost option.
In addition to the roadster body, this includes four fully enclosed separate "pontoon" style fenders. They are distinguished by the fact that the leading edge of all fenders rolls under with a "pumpkin seed" or almond shape when viewed in profile. With the exception of the "muffin line" raised accent on the outside of all four fenders, the Gen Two fenders are copies of the classic Figoni & Falaschi Type 135 1937 Delahaye.
Gen One Boattail
Gen Two Boattail
The differences between Gen One and Gen Two Boattails are shown above: Gen One (top) comes with one piece tilt front end with open wheelwells. Leading edge of rear fender of Gen One comes down almost perpendicular to the ground while leading edge of Gen Two (bottom) rear fender rolls under with "almond" shape. Gen One car above (left) also has rear wheelwell cut to open position to show the tire (optional), but also can be delivered with no wheelwell opening. Gen Two front fender is fully enclosed pontoon hiding the tire.
The Gen Two Boattail can be purchased with a variety of noses. Where the severely chopped and trimmed down 1935-'36 Auburn nose is standard for the Gen One, the Delahaye style fiberglass grille shell is standard and comes with the Gen Two at no extra cost. The Gen Two Delahaye nose comes with a fiberglass hood, side panels, and grille shell that match up to the Gen Two pontoon style front fenders. Presently (April 2009) we are beginning the task of manufacturing grilles for the Delahaye nose, but they may not be available until Fall 2009. These will be hand made and are expensive, or we can suggest a metal shaper to make a replica Delahaye grille for you.
BUGATTI GRILLE SHELLS: Two optional replica Bugatti grille shells can also be used with the Gen Two Boattail. We manufacture a beautiful replica Type 57 Bugatti shell (in brass) and grille (in steel), but these are hand made and are expensive ($8,000 +, unplated). We are also working on a replica Type 57S Bugatti grille shell and grille, which will be far more reasonably priced. (Price of Type 57S shell and grille to come.) Both Bugatti shells require a custom made steel or aluminum hood top and side panels, which are not included with the kit. Either significantly increases the resale value of the car.
Fenderless Highboy Boattail Body with your choice of Gen One 1-piece chopped Auburn nose
or Gen Two 4-piece Delahaye nose.
No fenders included with Highboy ……$8,000 fob Webster, IN
Full fendered Generation One Boattail Speedster Kit……$10,500 fob Webster, IN
Full fendered Generation Two Boattail Speedster Kit……$10,500 fob Webster, IN
Note: Rolling chassis, windshield, grille, trunk latch, hood and hood side panel hardware and
fender braces are NOT included in Boattail Speedster kits.
WINDSHIELDS: Two different windshield frame options are available. The first is a cast brass Duvall-style V-d frame ($1,050 unplated, without flat glass) as shown on the orange car at top of this page.
The second, as shown on www.decorides.com/carsforsale_highbouy.htm can either be severely laid back as shown on the car with the wood deck, or can stand more upright as seen on the Bugnotti www.decorides.com/bugnotti.htm. It is a slightly curved windshield ($1,700 for a complete chrome plated frame and posts, with curved glass installed). An additional fiberglass piece ($125) that the builder needs to bond onto the DECO Boattail cowl to make this windshield fit is also suggested.
GRILLE: For Gen One Boattails, an aluminum aftermarket grille with polished face side, designed to fit the original style Auburn-style nose, is available for $720.
Price on the Bugatti Type 57 and 57S grilles and shells to come (inquire). The Bugatti grille shells require custom made aluminum hood and side panels (inquire for price).
ROLLING CHASSIS: Fat Man Fabrications of Charlotte, NC, is a respected manufacturer that has built thousands of chassis over the past 30 years. They offer a rear wheel drive rolling chassis (no wheels or tires) specifically made for the DECO RIDES rear wheel drive Gen One and Gen Two Boattail Speedster. The price is $9,015 f.o.b. Charlotte, NC.
It features 2 x 4 mandrel bent frame rails, 1 x 2 x .120 rectangular tube center supports/cross member assembly, front cross member of 3 x 4 x .310 tubing. The frame comes standard with Fat Man's Stage III coil over front end with polished stainless steel control arms, narrowed manual rack and pinion steering box, 11" Ford bolt pattern disc brakes, and 2" dropped spindles or your choice of standard height spindles. It includes the engine and transmission mounts for any popular Ford or Chevy combination (you specify). It has a triangulated 4-link rear suspension with coil over shocks supporting a new 9 x 63 inch Ford rear end with 28 spline axles. The gear set is optional. A set of ECI disc brakes for the rear are included. Other chassis upgrades are also available (brakes, air ride suspension, etc.) at additional cost. We recommend the power steering rack. Normal waiting time for a chassis is 60-90 days from the date your 50% deposit is received.
We've had a variety of engines in the Boattail, including a Maserati V8, a Chevy,
a BMW V-12 and a Viper V-10.

Impressive record a source of confidence for Brewers
It's not often that a talking point that began in October, emphasized over the winter and re-addressed before Opening Day can be forgotten so easily by the Fourth of July, but hey – remember that desire for a "fast start" by the top levels of the Milwaukee Brewers organization?
It was talked about a bit after the team actually started out in a sprint, going 20-8 in March and April against a tough schedule. It was kind of forgotten after a 13-15 May.
And after an 18-10 June, why bring it up again?
It's because this team has never lost more than three games in a row, hasn't been swept in a three or four game series and hasn't been out of first place since the fifth game of the season.
It's because they've been able to weather 51 combined missed games from Carlos Gomez, Aramis Ramirez and Ryan Braun, pitching slumps from starters Matt Garza, Yovani Gallardo and Marco Estrada and injuries to bullpen arms Jim Henderson, Tyler Thornburg, Brandon Kintzler and Tom Gorzelanny.
It's because on the Fourth of July, the Brewers are only one of two teams in all of baseball with 50 or more wins.
It's because a goal was stated, and achieved immediately.
I haven't heard this song (yet) in the Brewers clubhouse – perhaps because it's a bit older – but a line from Lil Wayne' s 2009 "Drop The World" applies: Confidence is a stain you can't wipe off.
That's why it's worth revisiting the end of March and beginning of April over halfway through the season. This team has a near unshakeable confidence in one another, and collectively.
"The fact that we haven't lost first place was awesome, then we got all the guys back and now everybody's starting to see what kind of team we are," Kintzler said. "April, the big test was all those teams we played that were over .500, playoffs, then the road trip. After that you just have all the confidence in the world and you go out and play."
But can an intangible such as that translate to the field?
"I think certainly when you start off the year the way we did it allows people to relax a bit more, not panic when we have a couple bad games in a row," reliever Zach Duke said. "You realize you built up a pretty decent cushion and all we have to do is keep playing the way we're capable of and we're still going to be fine in the end."
"Yeah, you feel good about yourself," Kintzler acknowledged. "You know what you can do. You know if you lose one game you can come back and win the next. So that's the main thing. Last year, it was we lost one and it was 'oh geez, I wonder what's going to happen now,' you wonder who's going to be in the lineup. Hopefully everyone is still healthy enough and if you've got your same guys every day you got a chance."
Of course, such a start is not a total predictor of things to come. The team knows that.
"We've still got a long ways to go, too," first baseman Lyle Overbay said. "I mean, the month of September that's all we play is the National League Central. That's when the good teams kind of pull away and do some things. That's when the playoff race starts."
"This game is so up and down, you just can't get too high," Kintzler added. "You just grind it out. Just like relievers – you don't look at your numbers in the middle of the year. You grind it out and at the end of the year you grind it out and you look up and see where you stand because it's just such a long year."
And not only that – the fact that the Brewers have now established themselves as pennant
contenders, they're no longer looked at as merely a "hot" team by their opponents.At least that's how they see it.
"Now people know we're for real, so now we're going to get everybody's best shot from here on out," Wooten said. "It's not going to get any easier for sure. But we're confident. That's a huge thing to have."

BANGALORE, INDIA, JUNE 9, 2001: According to a rough estimate prepared by the Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BMP) there are at least 1,000 unauthorized roadside Hindu shrines in Bangalore. Shrines erected on footpaths, parks, and public thoroughfares are mushrooming all over the city. Roadside shrines, a strange phenomenon, endemic to Bangalore, are supported by the generosity of the public. Not only are they patronized, but these temples, within a year of consecration, draw a huge number of devotees. A shrine often begins as a tin shed, upgrades to an asbestos roof, and in no time has a concrete roof. The BMP is trying to limit these shrines, and has even demolished a few, but faces strong public resistance.

The firm's 6,000 workers are waiting for news from vital talks in China aimed at securing the firm's future and their jobs with Chinese investment.
MG Rover, which has a plant in Longbridge in the West Midlands, and the UK government are locked in talks with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp.
Industry data showed total MG Rover sales fell 17% in March on a year-ago.
Mr Blair made his pledge in parliament, which is wrapping up its business at the start of the general election campaign.
Meanwhile, workers are still waiting to learn whether the government will make a £100m bridging loan to Rover, a possibility that emerged at the weekend.
Rover's directors gave "extensive personal commitments" on Tuesday to keep the SAIC deal on track.
They are thought to have agreed to put up several million pounds of their own money to guarantee interest payments on the government's loan.
But according to the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes in China, Rover chairman John Towers has said he is not keen to discuss the situation "until the clouds have lifted".
If SAIC walks away from a deal, there is a high risk that MG Rover could be forced into administration.
Sales slide
News of the drop in sales added to the car-maker's woes, with MG Rover's market share falling to 2.9% in March from 3.2% at the same point last year.
According to the UK's Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) 6,608 Rover cars were registered in March, down from the 9,247 sold in the same month of 2004 - a drop of 28.5%.
However, sales of MG branded cars rose to 5,937 last month from 5,810 in March 2004.
Despite the fall, Rover said it had not fared too badly as UK car sales industry-wide were down 5.1%.
In addition to Rover's Longbridge employees, dozens of West Midlands engineering firms also depend, at least partly, on supplying the firm, which is Britain's last surviving mass car maker.
Tony Parr, managing director of engineering firm AP Smith which produces engine parts for Rover, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that his company would probably have to cut some jobs if the deal failed.
Mr Parr's firm relies on Rover for 15-20% of its business, and he believes that the Longbridge area could become a "wasteland" if the deal falls through.
SAIC is thought to be keen on a deal with Rover. However, talks ran into difficulties on Monday over fears about Rover's finances, which are reported to have deteriorated in recent months.
Mark O'Neill, Shanghai business correspondent for the South China Morning Post, said that SAIC was eager to snap up passenger car brands.
"[SAIC] is in the embarrassing position of being China's biggest car producer, but it has no passenger car brands of its own so they're very keen to acquire brands and buying brands is quicker than developing your own," he told the Today programme.
"The problem is whether MG Rover is the right [firm] to buy and how serious its financial situation is."

By Dan Reed, USA TODAY
The U.S. travel industry appears to have survived the recession but has yet to recover from it, earnings results reported from the third-quarter indicate.
Delta (DAL), the world's largest airline, and US Airways (LCC), the USA's sixth-largest, reported losses for the quarter on Thursday. But they said they saw signs that travel is beginning to pick up.
Demand, measured against last year, improved in each month in the third quarter, and is up again so far in October. US Airways said advance bookings for flights in the fourth quarter were stronger than expected.
JetBlue(JBLU), meanwhile, reported a modest third-quarter profit.
Starwood (HOT), which owns Sheraton, Westin, W and St. Regis hotels, reported a weak but better-than-expected profit.
Most other big travel companies reported similarly positive results. In most cases, they topped analysts' earnings expectations. Many reported travel demand in September was stronger than had been projected.
Scott Kirby, president of US Airways, says he sees the potential for a "V-shaped" economic recovery — one in which the rate of recovery after bottoming out roughly equals the rate of decline. "The odds," he says, "are in favor of a quick spiral up."
Leaders at several other airlines say they expect travel to recover more slowly.
"We remain cautious in these early stages of an uncertain recovery," Delta CEO Richard Anderson says.
One possible stumbling block for airlines' recovery: fast-rising oil prices, which could drive up costs and force higher fares. Oil futures closed Thursday at $81.19, 18 cents lower than Wednesday's closing price, the highest in a year.
Doug Parker, US Airways CEO, says he's less concerned about rising oil prices because airlines are better positioned than last year to raise fares to offset fuel costs. Airlines have cut capacity, or number of seats they're making available, to match the lower demand for travel, he says. Parker says that while all the big airlines have escaped the near-term threat of bankruptcy, they're far from healthy. "The standard can't be just survival," he says. "There's a higher standard out there, which is getting actual returns for investors on their investment."
US Airways posted a net loss of $80 million in the quarter, or 60 cents a share. Excluding one-time accounting items, the loss was $110 million, or 83 cents a share, vs. a $243 million loss on that basis in the same period last year
Delta lost $161 million, or 19 cents a share, in the third quarter, worse than the $50 million it lost in 2008's third quarter. Excluding one-time items, it earned $51 million, or 6 cents a share.
JetBlue posted its third consecutive profitable quarter: $15 million, or 5 cents a share. In the third quarter of last year, it lost $8 million, or 3 cents.
Starwood earned $40 million, or 22 cents, in the third quarter, down from $113 million, or 62 cents, in the same period last year.

Climate change in the National Park
A public debate on May 25th Kendal Town Hall 7pm
Land managers, farmers, geographers, NGO's, schools, local government and citizens
Climate change is no longer an academic matter purely of interest to scientists. It is something that is now evident, and is already having a profound effect on our doorstep. The impact it is having on places very close to home is already apparent, the floods that hit Carlisle, the flooding that swept through Lakeland eighteen months ago, and the devastation that caused tragedy in Workington. Landscapes and communities in the Lake District are particularly sensitive to the affects of the extreme weather that is predicted to happen with increasing frequency.
In a special event organised by the Royal Geographic Society, The Lake District National Park Authority, and the Soil Association a panel of leading experts will come together with the local community to examine the reality of climate change. The Lake District National Park Chief Executive Richard Leafe will chair the evening and conduct the question and answer session. This event gives the public a chance to raise their concerns and questions with an informed team of experts. We need to hear exactly what you think about the climate change issues, and make contributions to the debate.
Guest speakers are Tim O'Riordan OBE, professor of environmental sciences who will cover geography and land management; Lord Melchett, Policy director of The Soil Association will look at the local food economy and farming systems; and Lord Selbourne, from the Foundation for Science and Technology will look at Government scientific research, and former RGS President. Key topics up for discussion will include the impacts of flooding, the importance of appropriate farming and land management systems, the role of Government and a carbon budget for the Lake District.
It is four years since the RGS last hosted an event on climate change. We now need to come up with workable solutions. To utilise the landscape to capture carbon, to explore ways of rewarding farming enterprises to capture carbon, to influence institutional caterers, and to examine life style. This is a community effort and your attendance is vital.
The three-hour Carbon Event is expected to attract a large audience. £5 fee will be payable on the door, and will include refreshments. More details about climate change and its impact on areas like the Lake District are available on www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/climatechange and the Royal Geographical Society on www.rgs.org and the excellent "Soil Carbon" report from the Soil Association on www.soilassociation.org/climate.aspx
Nigel Woodhouse RGS Fellow
Kendal Town Hall, Highgate, Kendal, Cumbria LA9 4DL

Tight spot
The gentleman seems to be in a tight spot. He says he is worried about the fact that his friends are dying off from heart attacks. He also says his wife has knocked out his tooth and scarred his head with a vase, but he is staying with her for the sake of their five children and the fact that leaving and paying child support would be impossible. Despite his worries, he wants to enjoy the nice weather today and is expecting Georgia to beat Kentucky. He shook my hand as he left the bus stop and said that he will continue looking to God.

College of Pharmacy mourns loss
Thanks to Athens World blogger Katherine for alerting us in her blog about a memorial and extended viewing for a deceased cockroach. She writes that the memorial and body have been left in place for over a week, and as of this morning they were still there, collecting quite a bit of dust. They are located in UGA's Robert C. Wilson Pharmacy Building. The deceased is identified as Senor Crocante -- I suppose he was found with a UGACard on him.

Trivium's 'Brave This Storm' Live at Rock on the Range 2014
Trivium literally destroyed singer Matt Heafy's voice at Rock on the Range this weekend. Trivium hit the main stage with a heavy set, filled with great songs like "Brave This Storm", "Black", "Built to Fall" and more.
The news has just come out that the band has to cancel the rest of their shows for the next couple weeks so Matt can rest his throat after their ROTR performance. Talk about giving it your all!
Bittersweet homecoming.
"My family and friends worldwide and namely in the USA, I always call for each of you to give their all — as you always do — and in turn we in TRIVIUM return the favor with everything we've got.
"As it turns out, I quite literally gave everything I could have given just yesterday at Rock On The Range in Columbus, Ohio.
Check out our video of the opener, "Brave This Storm" for the ferocious performance that sidelined the band for a couple weeks!

It's wishful thinking. All month I've been thinking it's February instead of January. Like all of you, I'm trying to rush this winter along. With some guilt I admit I did have an escape — 10 days on Maui. The less said about that the better, right?
There's nothing worse than talking how great an island vacation is while others are enduring arctic blasts described in detail as never before. "Polar vortex" has become our forecasters' new buzzword.
Winter has its drawbacks but so do vacations. Getting to Hawaii wasn't easy. Our flight from Chicago to Honolulu was the longest we've ever taken, and initially felt like we were going backwards. The only way we could book a frequent flyer ticket was to set off from Chicago. From there the flight to Honolulu was 9 hours and 15 minutes. Then we had another 20-minute hop to get to Maui.
We thought we were prepared, having packed some walnuts and a few other snacks. "On a long flight like that American will serve a meal," I said to Spark. Excited to be on our way, we landed in Chicago, had breakfast and waited at the gate for the rest of our two-hour layover. Just as the flight was about to board, the AA folks made an announcement that could have gotten them egged.
"There are over 200 people on this flight, and we only have 12 salads and 12 sandwiches. It's over a nine-hour flight. We advise you to purchase some food to take onboard."
Joining the throng, we hustled to the nearest quickie food spot to load up on the healthiest food we could find. The choices were pretty slim, so we settled for a couple of bananas and two cartons of yogurt with fruit. A few hours later, when we dragged the yogurt out of the backpack, it was runny and warm, not near as tasty as the mini-cheese plate we both ordered when the stewardess came through at the start of the flight.
"If you're thinking of getting something, I'd do it now," she said. "We never have food left after the first pass we make." That was great advice. We didn't see her again and envisioned the flight attendants sitting behind curtains in their little cubbyholes chowing down on first-class vittles.
Flying isn't at all what it used to be — everyone knows that. With fondness I recall our first flight to Europe. At the time, I was working for Ozark Airlines, which was eaten up by TWA, and later was ingested by American, who recently merged with US Airways.
Back in 1970, Spark and I took a Pan American flight to Europe, and it cost less than $200 because Ozark had such great privileges with other carriers.
The Pan Am stewardesses looked like they'd just stepped out of a bandbox in their sky-blue uniforms and jaunty caps. They fit the setting perfectly, a new 747 with a spiral staircase. We ate and drank like royalty on that flight, even though we were in the coach section.
In all honesty, I have to tip my hat to American on our recent trip. When we boarded the flight from Chicago to Honolulu, Spark had restricted legroom because of a square box under the seat in front of him. We asked the stewardess if the bulkhead was open, "Yes, but no one likes to sit there because it's too cold."
"I can do you one better," she said, leading us to the business section's bulkhead seats, where we enjoyed lots of space. The extra room made eating warm yogurt easier to stomach.
On the way home from Maui, we thought we were brilliant loading up our carryon with apples and bananas left over from our hotel frig. The airport baggage handlers ended up with that mother lode. It seems the fruit you pickup in paradise, stays in paradise. Wish we could have — at least until February.

Hameau Albert 1er - Luxury hotel in Chamonix
Plan of the Hameau Albert 1er
Hotel rooms that tell a story
The Albert 1er, La Ferme and the chalets Soli and Grepon all offer elegant, peaceful havens under the watchful eye of Mont Blanc.The Hameau Albert 1er is very much inspired by the past and the present. Our family have always turned to the hotel's history to build its future and the building's architecture recounts the family saga over the years. At the beginning of the 20th century the Pension du Chemin de Fer was a large, simple building. In the twenties, an Art Deco veranda was added. Pierre and Martine Carrier took over the establishment in the seventies and chose to bedeck the hotel with wood and chalet-style balconies.
In 1993, we set out to re-establish the 'Belle Epoque » and urbain style of the place, removing the chalet features. Inside, the rooms gained in comfort and space, going from 50 to 25 rooms. The dining areas were also completely renovated. 3 farms with 12 rooms, a restaurant 'La Maison Carrier', a pool and spa were completed in 1997 in a local Alpine architectural style.
In the autumn of 2008, we renovated the ground floor of the Albert 1er building, creating the QuartzBar and reinventing the atmosphere in the Albert 1er restaurant, lounge areas and seminar room.
The construction of the Chalet Grepon in 2010 added to the collection of old-style Relais & Châteaux chalets.
The apartment 'Chez Martine', renovated in spring 2013, completes the collection, proposing an amazing space for families to unwind in a décor of white-washed wood.
The establishment has taken the form of a true hamlet (hence the name 'Hameau') with a rustic garden, stream and fruit trees. With 5 stars, this is a very special place in the centre of Chamonix.
Now you just need to choose your room. Do you prefer the contemporary nature of the main Albert 1er building or the traditional alpine woodwork of the historical farmhouse? The immaculately white décor of the Chalet Grépon or the intimacy of the wooden Chalet Soli? Or maybe you want to share the adventure with the family in the apartment 'Chez Martine'? All our rooms have a story to tell…

Do you somehow think it contradicts what I said?

You're not very good at this are you.

"Code simplification."
What is the justification for "simplifying" code that has worked perfectly well for a dozen or more releases?

Does is improve performance? No.

Does make things more secure? No.

Does it radically reduce compilation time? No.

Does it reduce the number of tests that are needed? No.

Does the simplification remove a dependency upon some external library or tool or exotic skillset? No.

"maintaining the level of security"
You mean, as far as its been considered, it probably didn't make things any worse.

You omitted to mention: "broke a bunch of other people code for no good reason"
A huge, resounding, emphatic: YES!

Contradict? No.
Show up for the pointless, meaningless, politically motivated, incomplete and non-useful diatribe it is. Abso-frickin-lutely.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The 2012 Global Meal season at the UW GreenHouse started out in style, with an Arctic Feast!
Our close friends Andrew and Ariana curated a feast of "caribou" stew (actually made with venison because of caribou sourcing issues) and white fish with cranberries:
Macaroni salad, Caesar salad, and fresh dinner rolls:
And an English trifle(ish) dessert!
And what made the Ariana and Andrew qualified to present this feast with the eager students was the two years they spent living in Inuvik, in the Northwest Territories of Canada, on the very northern-most tip of North America, just 50 miles south of the Arctic Sea.
With a backdrop of evocative photos, the As wove beautiful and intricate tales of their time in Inuvik, sharing with the students stories of how the community finds food (hunting, trapping, gathering, growing, sharing, buying), of their travels to the north, of the ethnic makeup of their town, of their night sleeping in a hand-made snow cave in dangerously frigid temperatures, and of enduring months with no daylight and months with no nightfall.
They also brought beautiful objects of show and tell, to display the different ends to which animals killed for meat are put--hats and slippers and mittens and boots made of seal and beaver and caribou and squirrel. Ariana even learned from some of the village elders how to sew animal hides using sinew (animal tendons), and showed off some of the slippers she had sewn herself.
The whole night was awesome and eye-opening. So many of the residents commented on how fascinating it was to learn about this place that no one ever talks about, and to have a sense of this small community whose world is so shaped by the harsh environment and deep historical roots.
Global Food for Thought at its finest!

Hennessy Deep Jungle Hammock
($300, hennessyhammock.com)
3 lbs., 1P/3S, Fly Coverage 53 sq ft
Hammocks have a niche on the kayak camping scene. The Hennessy Deep Jungle sports a mondo fly, providing a large dry space to dress and stash gear under (allowing the rain isn't coming sideways at 50 mph.). Some people love the hammock sway; it boasts a comfortable pad and easy in and out through a bottom opening, reminiscent of entering an Ewok home rather than a conventional hammock. Quality is bomber on the four different Hennessy models we've taken afield. I'd rate it conservatively at 3S, although we've ridden out some spankers in them. Not at all your father's hammock, a Hennessy is a seriously well designed and constructed hanging shelter.

During takeoff after starting the truck takes forever to get up to speed and even slows down even if you hold the pedal to the floor. it just started doing this and only does it when its cold but after it warms up it seems to run fine. it acts if though it has no power..
i noticed this noise when i would let go of the clutch it would make a sound like putting some nails in a coffee can and shaking them up. It lasts for a few seconds the stops it doesn't always do this. Also i have been noticing it while im driving at low rpms. it doesn't always do this but it does last longer i don't notice any performance changes and shifting is just fine. i'm paranoid hoping its not my transmission or anything major of course everyone hopes that.
i have heard many different things from people just to wonder the heck that even does. It would be helpful to have a checklist of things that i should do because i know little about engines or vehicles im trying to learn everything i possibly can.
Where under the hood is the voltage regulator or is it located under the dash
What is in the distributer than controls how much air/fuel mixture to send to injectors. It seems to be sending too much fuel, after truck is warmed up.

India is to join a list of nations from which people seeking asylum have claims fast-tracked, the Home Office has said.
If the claim fails and the applicant cannot prove it was not "clearly unfounded", they may only appeal after being removed from the UK.
Home Office Minister Des Browne said India was "generally a safe country".
He said: "Adding India to the list of safe countries is part of our drive to prevent failed asylum seekers from attempting to frustrate their removal from the UK by unnecessarily prolonging the appeals process.
"We have, for the time being, suspended enforced removals of failed asylum seekers to the southern coast of India, in line with our overall policy on areas affected by the tsunami.
"India, however, is generally a safe country where people are not routinely fleeing for their lives, and very few people need our protection under the refugee convention."
Some 1,305 Indian nationals applied for asylum between January and November 2004, but 95% of those bids were refused.
"While we will, of course, continue to make all decisions on a case by case basis, it is only right that if an asylum seeker does not require our protection they should return home when it is safe to do so," Mr Browne said.
The decision to add India to the "safe countries" list follows an Immigration and Nationality Directorate fact-finding mission to the country and consideration of information used by the government on the country's general safety.
But a Refugee Council spokesman said: "No country can be safe for all people all of the time.
"Stopping people from being able to appeal an asylum decision inside the UK runs the very real risk that they could be wrongly returned to face persecution or worse."
The organisation said 55 appeals brought by Indian nationals in 2003 against Home Office decisions had been successful.
"If this rule had applied then, all would have been forced back to India before their appeals could be considered with potentially grave consequences," the spokesman said.
A spokesman for the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants said: "We have longstanding concerns about fast-tracking and the issue of 'safe countries', because we feel you have to decide every case on its merits.
"We don't see many asylum claims from India, and it is true that on the whole India is democratic, but this doesn't mean that there aren't severe human rights abuses going on in pockets of India from which people might be genuinely fleeing."
