GWS Tiger Moth maiden flight
Well after weeks of waiting for batteries and ESC, I took my Tiger moth for its maiden flight. It flew so well, obviously the best choice for a newbie. Then, it flew into a tree, too ruddy high to reach, but luckily it was just a few yards from my house. One of my neighbours had a nice set of ladders, so I have it back, and I will have to glue the wings back together, and off I go again.
Anyway, does anyone have any ideas as to what to strengthen the joint between the wing and the stabiliser bits (don't know the correct word) so that it won't break, or is this good, as it stops the main part of the plane from breaking.
Cheers for all your help upto now, as I would have gone for something that looks nice, flies fast, but would have definitely crashed 2 seconds after take off
Good morning Newmini (well it is morning in the US right now),
If you have LOTS of time there are several good threads on modifications made to the GWS Tiger Moth. Start here https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...hreadid=114411 and https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...hreadid=148509 . The first thread is part one of four!
My moth looks as if it has been through the war. I believe it is up to a 50/50 ratio of polyurethane glue to original foam. It's been up a tree twice (different trees), spent 3 hours floating upside down in a lake (do not float fly without a chase boat), has attacked my brother, and has had countless hard landings from my "terrain following" practice.
I used epoxy in the wing joints and reinforced with clear packing tape. In all its crashes it has bocken everywhere but the joints. I have the balsa struts and wing wires installed as well. For wing breakage in crashes I use the foam safe CA and it isn't as heavy as epoxy but holds well. My 1st TM also looks like it has been through a war but she trained me and still fly's well. When its in the air you can't see how ugly she is anyway. She still has that gracefull biplane look as she fly's. Good Luck and HAPPY FLYING!!!
Re: GWS Tiger Moth maiden flight
You picked the right plane for a starter plane. I dont care what anyone else says, it is the best to learn on. if you break it, a little epoxy and your right back to flying!!!
Dont feel bad about the tree, I have hit 6 different trees so far, 2 fences, a couple close calls trying to attack myself and numerous hard landings. I have broken the wing struts from the top of the wing 4 times and broken the inner wing struts from the top wing 2 times. You simply cant beat this plane for its ability to teach you how to fly. no matter what you do to it, it wants to fly. So far in 7 hours of flight time, I have broken my rudder (flipped and hit the ground after bouncing off a fence), nose dive to the ground from 30 or so feet up after knocking it loose from a tree and the only damage was the inner struts broke loose. I have yet to break a prop on the thing and the only mods I have done to it is a half finished landing gear mod.
The moth has taken a beating and still wants to fly. So dont worry about crashs, it wont take long before you are flying with full confidence and pushing the limits of what the moth can do
Just don't do what a friend of a friend did with his Moth... He took it camping with him and was doing some low passes over the camp site. As he flew over the firepit, the updraft off the fire totally upset his Moth. As he overcorrected (he was flying at 1/2 throttle) his Moth stalled and fell into the fire. He saved the flight pack sans battery but the Moth was totalled.
Worst thing I ever did to mine was tree it about 40 feet up. Using my fishing pole and tennis ball retriever, I ended up slicing through my wings, nice and clean.
As to your actual question, use some Epoxy on the cabane struts. This will make the joint a little firmer to handle lite crashes, but will still give in a big one. If rejoing the wings is the only thing you break in a crash, keep it that way. For me, I became the formost expert on replacing motor sticks. I think I had gone threw 4 feet of motor stick before I sold my old Moth.
Woohoo, 600th post!
I have fixed the wings, so I will go for the second flight in a larger field. Cheers or the tips by the way.

possible tail light mod?
So the rather large rectangle tail lights make gas can fill ups a pain but I noticed JKs have a thinner version... would it be possible to wire them up instead of the stock yj ones? I know there's the filler relocation mod and the round led mod but think this would be cheaper and probably a lot easier. .. besides I'm not a huge fan of round lights :p
The JK body contour is much different than the YJ.
IIRC- the trick to using a gas can with a YJ was to thread the neck so that it stuck out of the body of the can sideways...
Flush mount the stock lights. JeeperDon did it. He's a bit of a Scrooge but an endless source of information.
I was hoping it'd work lol. Ill end up doing filler relocation at some point anyways
Sounds expensive! :rofl:
Mine are flush, it's still a pita to fill up, it's a jeep thing?!

I'll agree with that one, he does know what he's talking about though.
Day215 did you do a right up on flush mounting those tail lights? I have been wanting to do this for awhile instead of changing to round LEDs.
I didn't post a write up, but here's a quick overview.
#1: remove tailights
#2: make a template from cardboard, I placed the light lens down and cut out the outer shape on cardboard, I then carefully cut out the inner portion of the template to match the contour of the backside of the light. The backside of the housing is tapered, I just kept trimming until the template would snugly slide over the backside of the housing. You basically end up with a cardboard "ring" that looks like the shape of the light.
#3:mask off the area you think the light will occupy, I slid the backside of the housing just a hair under the rear wheel well.
#4: square up your template and trace the inner portion. Cut the inner portion out, I used a jigsaw but a dremel would work a bit better.
#5: stick the light in the hole and check the fit, trim as needed. Once your happy, mark the four holes that hold the lens to the housing, these holes will be the fastening points for the light to the body. A sheet metal screw will go thru the lens then housing then body.
#6: run a small piece of wire from a ground point on the chassis to the screw inside the lens on the chrome reflector part of the lens. The old way of mounting the light provided a ground for the housing, when you remove the metal that it mounted to, you need to find an alternate way to ground the housing to the chassis.
#7: I ran some clear silicone around the housing lip before i placed the light into its new hole and screwed it in. Smooth the silicone out with your fingertip to seal the housing to the body. Plug it in and test her out
My explanation makes no sense to me, your basically just cutting a hole and sinking the light into the larger hole, don't over think it! You will loose your side marker, these are required by law in most if not all states, don't call me if you get a ticket. You will also need to address the deletion of your plate light, I bought some by lights and installed them just above the plate, I painted the old clear part of the lens that acted as the plate light so it would not bleed light into the wheel well.
Thanks for the reply Day215. Yea I will figure something out as far as the side markers go and the license plate light won't be a problem. Only thing I am worried about here is room for the counter sunk light housing. I have done the fuel filler relocation and there might not be enough room for both. Something I will have to check into.
1 Attachment(s)
I used square surface mount truck LED's from my local trucker store. For side markers I used 1" round red LED's. License plate was a tripple white LED, I cut a slot in the housing and flush mounted it. The plate clears it by about 1/4".
The whole project cost about $130.00

Colts quarterback Peyton Manning didn't become the highest-paid player in the NFL, as had been team owner Jim Irsay's goal, but he now shares the distinction.
On Saturday, Manning agreed to a new five-year contract for $90 million--an $18 million per year average that is equal to what Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is making. Brady signed a four-year, $72 million deal last September.
It was thought that Irsay wanted to give Manning a five-year, $100 million deal, which would have made him the top-paid player. But Manning said that wasn't necessary, and he encouraged Irsay this week to spend less money on him in order to have the resources to sign other players.
This likely will be the final NFL contract for Manning, 35, who is heading into his 14th season. He is the league's only four-time MVP, and he has led the Colts to two Super Bowls, including a victory over the Bears in Super Bowl XLI.
Manning's next goal is to get himself ready for the 2011 season opener. He currently is recovering from his second neck surgery in 15 months and is nowhere ready to practice. Manning has never missed a game in the NFL because of injury, and his streak of 208 consecutive starts is the longest among current players.
"He's a quick healer, as he proved coming back from a knee infection a couple of years ago," Colts president Bill Polian said. "Hopefully, the same will be true here."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- First baseman Jeff King, turning his back on about $3 million, unexpectedly retired Sunday, suggesting his heart was no longer in the game.
The 34-year-old King, bothered by a disc problem in his back since last fall, had already been paid about one-quarter of his $4 million salary on the final year of a two-year contract.
He said his nagging back problem was not the major reason for walking away.
''My head is here, my heart is not,'' he said, fighting tears. ''I played the game with integrity, played hard and played hurt.''
King had played in only 21 games this year, hitting .236 in 72 at-bats with three home runs and 11 RBIs.
The 11-year veteran began the season with a .256 career average. He averaged 29 home runs and 112 RBIs in his first two seasons with Kansas City, in 1996 and 1997.
Tigers' Clark still groggy after beaning
CLEVELAND -- Detroit's Tony Clark was still groggy Sunday, a day after being hit in the head by Cleveland's Jaret Wright in a beanball exchange between the Tigers and Indians.
Clark, struck in the batting helmet on Saturday, was kept out of the starting lineup for the series finale.
The Tigers first baseman was examined by the team's trainer and Dr. Zenos Vangelos, one of the Indians' team physicians, on Sunday. He has a bruised head and is listed as day-to-day.
Clark was nailed by Wright in the sixth inning of Detroit's 6-2 win on Saturday, that led to a brief beanball war, a bench-clearing incident and the ejection of Cleveland outfielder Manny Ramirez.
Anderson sets AL hit-by-pitch record
BALTIMORE -- Brady Anderson set an American League record Sunday night by getting hit by a pitch twice in the same inning, and he scored twice during the Baltimore Orioles' 10-run first inning against the Texas Rangers.
Anderson, the Orioles' leadoff hitter, was hit twice in the first inning by Texas pitcher Mike Morgan.

Could you please phrase the whole sentence in a simpler way? especially the 'as due to rationalization......reducing risk' part and 'by some six degrees ' part. Thank you very much for your help.
: "Its [Strategic Initiatives Group] mere existence could be interpreted by some business analysts as due to the rationalization of innovation investments that comes as industries mature and become more competent at reducing risk. This is often done by 'unbundling' the corporation--of separating, sometimes by just six degrees, from the company's normal operations the generally higher-risk business of innovation that sets out to achieve sustained high growth by finding gaps, incongruities, and opportunities in the marketplace."
Some business analysts consider that as industries mature and become more competent at reducing risk, they are in a better position to rationalize their investments in innovation. The Strategic Initiatives Group exists to help them to do this. Innovation in business sets out to achieve sustained high growth by finding gaps, incongruities and opportunities in the marketplace. It generally bears a higher risk and can often be separated (unbundled) from the company's normal operations.

The Balmer Lawn Hotel was delighted to host a luncheon this week with special guests including the Mayor of Christchurch New Zealand and other VIP's from Christchurch Borough Council Dorset and delegates from Christchurch New Zealand. They were celebrating the tinning of the two Christchurch towns, and commemorating 100 years since the Balmer Lawn was utilised as an army hospital for the ANZAC troops in World War One.
The Balmer Lawn has a fascinating history and building was commandeered during both World Wars. During World War One the Hotel was used as a field hospital. Some still remember injured soldiers being wheeled on luggage trolleys from Brockenhurst Train Station to the Hotel!
In the Second World War the Hotel was transformed into an Army Staff College. Some of the "Orders for the Day" were issued from the Hotel for the "D Day" invasion. During our extensive refurbishment of the Hotel we frequently find spent ammunition under the floorboards.
If you have any photos showing the Balmer Lawn during either World War One or Two we would love to be able to share them. You can email them to us at email@example.com or post them on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/balmerlawnblog comments powered by Disqus

FORESTRY Commission chiefs have moved to reassure people about the future of a Hampshire woodland after growing fears over tree felling operations.
Former tree surgeon William Patterson was worried after he noticed a dramatic increase in the number of trees earmarked for felling.
But the Forestry Commission say their tree felling operations at Stoke Park Wood, Bishopstoke, are part of their long term commitment to preserve the woodland which covers more than 220 acres.
Area manager Nick Hazlitt said: "Local people should not be alarmed by the thought of trees being cut down in Stoke Park Wood. The planned harvesting work is an element of our continual and ongoing forest management.
"The work is vital to maintain the health of the forest as it maintains the structure and diversity in the woodland, which is important for both people and wildlife."
Mr Patterson, 45, who lives in Eastleigh and has been visiting the woods for more than 40 years, said he has always been passionate about trees.
He fears that if the felling continues it will have a devastating impact on an area which has always been a haven for wildlife.
Mr Patterson took the Daily Echo into a wooded glade where many tree trunks had been marked with a circle of orange paint.
Pointing to one he said: "There is nothing wrong with this tree. It has got another 100 years left. Once these trees are gone they will be gone forever."
Mr Hazlitt added: "By cutting trees down, we allow light and air into the wood, important for plants, flowers butterflies and insects.
"We also make the wood a better place for the many local people who use the wood, as we can keep the paths and tracks and picnic sites clear, and allow people to see into the wood from the paths."
He said that this spring more than 7,000 oak trees were planted in an open area just off the main forest road. Last year more than 3,000 oak, ash and cherry trees were planted in another area of the woodland.

Lorraine Chase
Jump to
British TV actress Lorraine Chase worked as a model in the 1970s, and gained wider exposure when she appeared in a series of comedic commercials for the Italian drink Campari, which found her showcasing a disarming Cockney accent. The popularity of these ads led to parts on various high-profile English programs, including the hit game show "Blankety Blank" and the kids' series "Worzel Gummidge," in which she portrayed Dolly Clothes-Peg. After roles in the 1980s sitcoms "The Other 'Arf" and "Lame Ducks," Chase largely receded from the spotlight, but later resurfaced with a guest spot on the medical drama "Casualty" in 1998. With her career picking up significant momentum again, she joined the cast of the darkly humorous 2000 crime show "Lock, Stock...," based on Guy Ritchie's hit film "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," and was also featured in a long stint on the soap opera "Emmerdale" as the intimidating Steph Forsythe (formerly Stokes). Chase has additionally appeared in numerous stage productions and has been a prominent presence on the 2011 season of "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!," a British reality-TV show. A familiar English television personality, Chase has also turned up on various talk shows, including "This Morning" and "Daybreak," and has sat in on the popular cooking program "Come Dine with Me."

The Husband's Secret
I have organized a real-honest-to-goodness book club in my neighborhood which will (hopefully) help me post more regularly here about the great books that are out there!
If you are trying to do something with your own group of friends, I have found the website www.bookmovement.com very helpful. It helps me organize my own club, to choose books, to organize discussion questions... I love it!
This October's book is The Husband's Secret about Liane Moriarty.
I have been looking for a great book to grab me ever since I finished Gone Girl a few years ago and this one fit the bill! Just imagine finding an envelope from your husband with the instructions to open upon the event of his death! Once I read that line in the book I was in, hook, line and sinker!
Just in case you haven't read the book yet, the discussion among those who have can take place in the comments section below.

State court again strikes down Philly gun laws
A state appeals court ruled Wednesday that the city cannot enforce an assault weapons ban and a law prohibiting guns bought by one person and given to another, measures passed by City Council in an effort to combat persistent gun violence. The 6-1 ruling marked the latest setback for Philadelphia officials, who have fought for years for the right to pass their own gun legislation. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has previously upheld the state's exclusive right to enact gun laws. The National Rifle Association challenged a series of measures that were passed by City Council in April 2008 and signed by Mayor Michael Nutter. Both sides expect the case to end up before the state's highest court again. "The bottom line is, we won," NRA attorney C. Scott Shields said of the ruling. In Thursday's ruling, the court said the city could not ban assault weapons or pass the law prohibiting straw purchases, in which one person fills out forms and buys a gun for someone else — often convicted felons who can't legally own guns...AP

nice house in a dead end street with plenty of room for 6 persons. Nearest Underground is Miles End (about 10/15 min walk). The house has a well-equipped kitchen and 2 bathrooms and is cosy and clean. We stayed for 4 days with 6 persons (four children aged 10,12, 18 and 20) and -apart from the weather, everything worked out very well ! .
이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
Wir sind erst sehr spät angereist aber das war kein Problem mit der Schlüsselübergabe. Es war nur sehr schwer zu finden. Da wir in der Nacht angereist sind, konnten wir nicht den hauseigenen Fahrer in Anspruch nehmen.
Da der Unterkunftsname hier mit dem wirklichen nicht übereinstimmen wurde es noch schwerer für Locals unsere Frage zu beantworten aber mit den Fotos auf der Website alles kein Problem. Wenn man die endlos erscheinenden Treppen zum Strand mit 20 kilo Gepäck runterläuft ist man tierisch fertig aber was ein dort erwartet machte alles wieder wet.. Dichter am Strand waren wir noch nie... Super Ausblick! Ruhe! geile Wellen! Der hauseigene Fahrer wurde dann noch in Anspruch genommen und er war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das einzige was uns nicht gefallen hat war die Klimaanlage, die nicht richtig funktionierte und dann noch das Wifi was mit angeboten wurde aber gar nicht existierte.. Trotzdem traumhafte Unterkunft!!

English-born author, 62, who had lived in Washington since 1982, was a master of the persuasive essay.
My old friend Julius Hobson, an unconventional Washington civil rights leader in the 1960s (he once drove a cage of rats to Georgetown and threatened to release them at the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and M Street so the power brokers would know how the other half lives), used to say, "I sleep mad." When I mentioned this many years ago to Christopher Hitchens, who died of cancer Thursday, Christopher remarked, "What a great epitaph that would be!"
View Photo Gallery: The English-born writer, who had lived in Washington since 1982, was a tireless master of the persuasive essay, which he wrote with an indefatigable energy and venomous glee.
We have lost an irreplaceable person in this age of American unreason. By "we," I do not mean only atheists (although Hitchens is irreplaceable in that respect too) but everyone who values rationality and the English language. Hitchens, whose obituaries are devoting equal space to his atheism and his support for the Iraq war (he once called me stupid to my face for disagreeing with him about the latter), was a great, scathing Anglo-American writer in the tradition of Thomas Paine, George Orwell and Jessica Mitford. We may not see his like again, because the respect for language exemplified by his writings is fading away.
What Christopher (I just cannot call him Hitchens, because it is hard for me to accept the fact that his distinctive voice now belongs to history), contributed to the American dialogue about atheism was a combination of wit and disrespect that American-born atheists just cannot seem to manage. A naturalized U.S. citizen, Christopher was born and educated in England and was an heir to the best British traditions of no-holds-barred wit and satire.
No American atheist was ever going to give a book a title like
The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice
. No, we would begin such a book, if we ever thought about writing it in the first place, by making sure to acknowledge all the good that missionaries, somewhere, somehow, must have done. Christopher, by contrast, went straight for the jugular, noting: "As Edward Gibbon observed about the modes of worship prevalent in the Roman world, they were `considered by the people as equally true, by the philosophers as equally false, and by the magistrates as equally useful.' Mother Teresa descends from each element in this ghastly triptych." What a wonderful image "ghastly triptych" is!
Nothing displayed Christopher's mettle as a writer and a person as well as the columns he wrote during the past year while undergoing all of the grueling, debilitating forms of treatment familiar to cancer patients fighting for their lives. These columns, published mainly in Vanity Fair magazine, are destined to become classics on the subject of living with a mortal illness. They stand as an antidote to all of the junk thought tomes published in the past 30 years about how much people have "learned" from cancer.
Christopher's most recent column (I don't know if he wrote another before he died), took on Neitzsche's well-known dictum that "whatever doesn't kill me, makes me stronger." Christopher was having none of that.
"I am typing this having just had an injection to reduce the pain in my arms, hands, and fingers," he wrote. "The chief side effect of this pain is numbness in the extremities, filling me with the not irrational fear that I will lose the ability to write…I feel my personality and identity dissolving as I contemplate …the loss of the transmission belts that connect me to writing and thinking."
In June, Christopher wrote about the loss of his speaking voice as a result of the various high-tech treatments he was undergoing. "So now every day I go to the waiting room, and watch the awful news from Japan on cable TV…and wait impatiently for a high dose of protons to be fired into my body at two-thirds the speed of light. What do I hope for? If not a cure, then a remission. And what do I want back? In the most beautiful apposition of two of the simplest words in our language: the freedom of speech."
What I admire, as an atheist, about these columns is their unsparingly unsentimental examination of the process of fighting a disease that you know is going to consume you. Every well-known person who has ever challenged religious orthodoxy — Voltaire, Paine, Robert Ingersoll — has engendered an afterlife of lies in which believers assert that the "infidel" repented and accepted God on his deathbed. Christopher Hitchens made sure that would not happen to him, and in doing so he has left a model record of pain and reason, as opposed to the nonsense about eternal life that we get from religious people, who, mirabile dictu, fight just as hard as anyone else not to leave this vale of tears.
However, the most splendid essay Christopher Hitchens wrote this year was a peroration against recent translations of the King James Bible, designed to update religion for the modern world and get rid of all those pesky thees and thous, which modern worshippers supposedly cannot comprehend.
Alluding to the common cultural references that the King James version has provided for every great writer in the English language, Christopher asserted:
"A culture that does not posses this common store of images and allegories will be a perilously thin one. To seek relentlessly to update it or to make it `relevant' is to miss the point, like yearning for a hip-hop Shakespeare. `Man is born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward,' says the Book of Job. Want to try to improve that for Twitter?"
The essay describes the abandonment of the King James version by many modern churches, including the Church of England, as "yet another demonstration that religion is man-made, with inky human fingerprints all over its supposedly inspired and unalterable texts."
Of course, some well-known religious believers, apparently unaware that one of the reasons atheists become atheists is that they have read the Bible carefully, mistook Christopher's beautiful elegy for our common culture as a sign that he was abandoning his atheism. That one may love these glorious words and images without believing, say, that God created the world in six days or that a man rose from the dead is lost on the faithful literalists.
I sent Christopher an email in March telling him how much I liked this piece and that my 90-year-old mother, who was also mortally ill, had enjoyed it too. "Your note made my day," he replied. That was the penultimate time I heard from this distant but dear professional friend.
There was no one like him. If he were only asleep, he would still be mad.

I have fired a .460 Wby ONE time. That's all it took for me to be cured of the desire to own one. I would buy one of those shoulder pads the clay shooters wear under their shooting jackets.
If you want info on outfitters or the rifle, etc check out www.accuratereloading.com as they have the best safari/hunting forums I've ever come across.

After reading the article someone linked on big game scopes.. I think I might just keep my Leupold VX7 2.5-10x45 and mount it on this gun.... I was planning to get a 1.5x5 type, but there isn't a huge difference in performance and I can save $1000+ .. anyone think that's a bad idea? The eye relief is quite good at 4.5"

I posted that link and ther is no way a VX3 1.5-5x20 is going to cost $1K unless you don't live in the United States. The VX7 1.5-6X24 will run you that much, but the 1.5-5 starts at $399 and tops out at $600 usually for the illuminated reticle models. Is the VX7 $400 better than the VX3, I don't know and I've never looked through the VX7 scope at all.
It is up to you what you top the rifle with, but I'm in the club lower power is better when hunting up close.

yeah, it's 2.5 on the lower end, that's pretty low... and VX7's are built a bit more robustly (not that VX3 are bad). I have a VX3 6.5-20 on my 30.06 also, which I would never consider

Get a good high quality fixed power scope.
Good luck with the recoil.

Since you already have it on order....
I'm not going to say you did bad, but I think you could have made a better choice.
I know a fella that got one of the MkVs in .460 WM, back in the late 70s. Its a monster, and turned out to not be as satisfactory as he hoped.
I haven't looked much at this cartridge or Weatherbys lately, so if they have made improvements, so much the better.
The orignial Weatherby Mk V stock is a long way from the best shape to handle the heavy recoil of the .460. It will flat just hurt you more with that stock shape than the same round in a rifle of a different stock design. If your new Mk V has something other than the classic Weatherby stock, you will be better off when you shoot it.
Another thing is the cartridge itself. It is the big bad boy on paper, and in the field, however, back in the 70s, when I was looking at these things, it wasn't as well thought of in Africa as the .458 Win Mag. And this was for two basic reasons. One was the class of hunter that showed up with the .460 Wby, often someone who had bought the biggest gun, but didn't take the time effort and expense to learn how to use it. That doesn't sound like your plan, and good for you.
The other reason the .460 Wby wasn't at the top of the list of favorites was that, despite its huge power, there were numerous failures of the round in the usual hunting situations for dangerous game.
And the reason was, actually, the power of the round itself. The .460Wby is the fastest of the big rifles, launching the 500gr slug at almost 2700fps (as generally reported, velocities in reloading manuals top out around 2600 or just under). And it is that speed that gives problems.
Hunting elephants and cape buffalo are done at close range. Much of the time it involves head shots, especially when being charged. There is a velocity range, about 1900-2300fps where the big, round nosed solid bullets used in the heavy calibers will punch through the thick, rounded bone of the skulls and do the job.
Shooting these bullets significantly faster actually has given problems in the game fields, as the higher speed increases the odds of the bullet glancing off the skull, instead of penetrating. When this happens, even a perfect shot can be a total failure. Not a goood thing for the hunter, or his PH.
As I said, its been a few decades, and Weatherby might have corrected their flaws in the meantime, I just don't know. Sorry, I can't give you up to date info, but I assure you my out of date info is solid for the time it was current!
As to longer range (200yd), the .460 factory load shows a 3.3" mean trajectory for 200yds in one of my old books, so actually hitting at that distance is not as difficult as it would be for a big bore of lesser velocity.
I wouldn't go with a variable scope, a fixed power (and a low power at that) is likely to be more durable. $500 or even $1000 saved on a scope is wasted if it packs it in after the 19th shot. Strong, solid mounts are needed. Anything less is false economy.
Good Iron sights are a must. The Mk V I know didn't come with any sights. Does yours? Everything can, and will go wrong, even good scopes can be "offline" when you need them badly. Hunting things that hunt you back means having simple, rugged, fast to use sights available at an instant's notice. Many folks won't use anything else.
I have a little experience with the .458 Win (although only in the US), and most of my shooting it is with cast bullets at approx .45-90/.45-120 power levels. The elephant/cape buffalo loads are not for me, other than to say I've done it.
Now, I haven't said all this to tell you that your going to regret your choice, I hope you don't. I just wanted you to be aware of some things, before you leave for the Dark Continent. I envy you that, because its a trip I'm never going to make. Please keep us updated and informed on how this goes. Pics of the rifle would be nice, too. I'd like to see how it compares to the one I knew nearly 40 years ago.
Good luck, and good hunting!
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better.

44amp wow, you get my vote for the most informative and well written response. I am fully convinced now that for the cape buff I need something else. I m leaning toward the 458 just because it's so ubiquitous and I read used by more than half of the PHs. Can some one recommend a good brand for a new one?
I will however also keep the mark V order as I've always wanted one and as you said, the long range balidtcs are great. I think the VX 7 is going to be it for the 460 for now. These are built like a tank and I'll get a fixed close range for the 458. You only live once and I wanted both a Cape Buffalo kill and a Weatherby for fun at the range. As for kick, I've shot it before with and with out the break. All I have to say about that is "bring it on!!"

WELCOME to TFL!!
And sorry I forgot to welcome you before!
Just some more FYI, the .458 had its share of teething troubles back when it first got used in Africa. Bullet jacket failures were frequent enough that a lot of the old time PHs didn't trust it. Joyce Hornady went on safari and got some honest first hand feedback, by not letting folks know he made the bullets until after he found out about what they were (and weren't) doing.
He redesigned the jackets, and from that point on, the .458 became a regular proven performer.
Also, the published velocities (2100fps) for the .458 simply were not usually delivered in the field. Velocities in the 2000fps range were. Plenty enough to work, and work well, but not what was advertised.
The .458 Lott was developed to actually deliver the advertised .458 Win velocities. Essentially a slightly longer .458 Win case with a little more room for powder. Standard .458 Win Mag can be fired in the .458 Lott chamber.
The African Model 70 Winchester is the rifle the .458 came out it, back about 1956 or so, and it set the standard for dangerous game rifles ever since. The claw extractor (Mauser pattern) gives controlled round feed, something important when you are facing something big and nasty at very short range. This became such an entrenched idea that collectors, savy hunters and rifle builders were buying up any pre-64 Win M70s to get the actions to build DGRs on. Thats one reason the price on pre64 M70s has stayed so high.
Also the reason Winchester finally re-introduced the claw extractor on the Model 70 Classic.
About a year ago I looked at a CZ rifle in a shop. I can't recall the model number right now, it was a .375H&H and was a very nice rifle. It had express sights, and a solid feel, as well as very good workmanship. You might want to look at one in .458 Win or .458 Lott.
If you haven't already, entertain yourself with some reading. Ruarke, Bell, and other old time PHs books, and books about them are worth reading. Peter Capstick's "Death in the Long Grass" is a fine start, along with his other books, tells of his years as a PH and cropping officer. A good read, he has a ..unique way of looking at things.
Although dated now, Africa is still Africa, and a lot of the info is, and likely always will be useful.
You haven't mentioned one, do you have a "light rifle" (by african standards) for lesser game? And by lesser, I meant things the size of an elk or a horse!
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better.

I have my old and faithful Remington 700 in a 30.06, which is a very capable gun for smaller game.... but to be honest, when I get to Africa, I want to go for one and only one Cape Buff, get the photograph, try some of the meat and be on my way home... I don't have any desire (nor the money) to rack up several kills while there.

cheap practise for the 460 wby
If you want cheap practice in recoil management I offer you this $100 training tool.
Buy a H&R single shot 12 gauge shotgun. Cut the barrel down to 20" then slip on a fiber optic front sight. Now buy a few boxes of cheap slugs. ( you can see where this is going)
Set up a pie plate on a large cardboard target at 30 feet and start shooting. Shoot from the standing then kneeling position. Start with 2 shots in each position and build up to five. Quick shouldering and firing.
No one said it would be fun/ A 5 pound shotgun shooting a 1 oz slug at close to 1300 fps will focus your attention.

I have the CZ-550 in .458 Lott. Recoil is extremely manageable, especially when in a standing position (benching rifles like this seems unnecessarily masochistic to me - you will likely NEVER take a similar shooting position in the field).
I've fired .460 Wby a few times, and I think you may be getting a somewhat exaggerated description of the recoil force here. Yes, it's substantial, and yes the .460 Wby stock is not universally loved, but I never thought of shooting it as an especially difficult or painful experience. Expensive, yes - but painful, not so much.
Were I in your shoes, I'd probably be looking at rifles in .416 Rigby, .416 RUM, .458 Lott class. No reason to consider buying anything chambered for .458 Win Mag, as any rifle chambered in .458 Lott will run through .458 Win Mag rounds swimmingly.
Also, I'm not sure I'd agree that your VX-7 is a suitable sight for a big bore, heavy recoil rifle. For one, none of these are available in a 1x power. If you're actually panning a safari, you want a scope that will allow you to keep both eyes open and not force magnification on one eye and not the other. Maximizing your field of view is essential when hunting things that can kill you!

The .460 shouldn't be shot past 100 yards. It doesten matter if you can shoot it moa at 300 yards when on safari. The best test of a dangerous game rifle like a 460 is how fast and accurately can you make repeated hits on a softball size target at 20-25 yards if something doesn't work out as planned. And the 460 is quite a step up from a 416 rigby. The 460 without a break will produce (depending on load) 100-120 ftlbs of recoil. The 416 would have served you just as well truthfully. But I hope the rifle serves you well.

The Pre-Travel Guide – it's designed as a step-by-step guide to help you improve every part of your RTW preparation – from planning, saving, where to go, health, 1st month on the road etc – Download Here.
Obtaining frequent flyer miles is an excellent way to save money while traveling. While many airlines offer these frequent flyer perks, they tend to make it difficult to earn a substantial number of miles or they make redeeming your miles a difficult process. This is because the airlines do not make money when they give away tickets, making them reluctant to do so.
Many airlines will even charge large booking fees to recoup the costs they lost by offering frequent flyer miles.
Using Frequent Flyer Cards While Traveling
The following tips will help you make and spend frequent flyer miles:
1) Always pay for business trips out of your own bank account and ask for reimbursement later: This is an easy way to build up a lot of frequent flyer miles, especially if you travel on a regular basis (for leisure or business). By flying on your own account, your air miles could add up to a free flight or upgrades.
2) Check your statement for errors: Get in the habit of checking statements to ensure that you are receiving all of your miles. It is possible for the airline to make a deliberate or accidental error that will result in a statement with less points than you truly deserve.
3) Build more points using a frequent flyer credit card: It's a good idea to take advantage of credit cards that offer frequent flyer miles if they do not charge a substantial annual fee. Large annual fees will negate any benefit you receive from using the credit card.
4) Always pay your credit card bill in full every month: Getting into the habit of paying off your balance in full each month will help you avoid paying interest on purchases.
If you frequently forget to pay on your credit card, you will not benefit from choosing a card with frequent flyer rewards.
5) Understand the rules of your card: Read and understand the rules and regulations associated with your frequent flyer miles and avoid breaking them.
Because the airlines do not want to give away free seats, you are likely to be refused your frequent flyer miles if you've broken any rules or regulations they set out.
6) Redeem your miles for expensive flights: If you need to fly at the peak of the season, save your points from all of your off season flights and use them for this expensive trip.
You will make more money by flying on cheap undesirable flights and saving your points for a flight that has no cheap tickets.
7) Book your ticket as far in advance as possible: You will not be able to use your frequent flyer miles at the last moment so you should aim to book your flight at least three months ahead of time, but six months to a year is more advisable.
This is because there is a very limited number of frequent flyer seats available and they fill up very quickly. If you wait to book your seat, you are likely to miss out.
8. Research the best airline for you: If you haven't already established yourself with a particular airline, do your research.
You should look into the frequent flyer programs at a variety of airlines until you find one that works well for you based on the routes you are most likely to fly.
If you are always flying to Asia, you may be able to find a frequent flyer program that offers bonuses for flights to Asia – Singapore Airlines are worth looking into. Make sure you are getting the best deal for the flights you actually plan on taking.
9) Boost your account status ASAP: Moving up to a higher status in frequent flyer programs is usually easy and can be achieved after just a few flights.
Check with your airline's frequent flyer program and make sure to increase your status whenever possible. Increasing your status will gain you preferential treatment, such as line skipping, promotions to better seats, and access to lounges.
10) Take advantage of frequent flyer deals: If you can double your rewards by staying at a particular hotel or renting from a particular company, be sure to do it. These bonuses and perks can result in huge increases in your frequent flyer miles.
Just be sure to only take advantage of deals that offer things you truly need. For example, don't send flowers to get frequent flyer miles if you ordinarily wouldn't send flowers.
– By following the tips above, you will be able to earn and redeem your frequent flyer miles in the easiest and cheapest way possible. Just remember to consider which deals will make you money and which will lose you money.
Never pay credit card fees that add up to more than the value of your frequent flyer points and never buy products or services that you don't need or won't use. Be realistic about your earnings and make sure to do the math before investing in frequent flyer deals.

Saskatoon (Canada)
A City's good practice towards the elimination of discrimination
Within the framework of the Coalition's Ten Point Plan of Action, the City of Saskatoon has launched the Saskatoon Housing Initiatives Partnership. The Partnership has been working to provide safe, permanent and affordable housing for residents of Saskatoon since 1999. Seeking to expand its role in guiding residential development, the City of Saskatoon issued a Request for Proposal, to provide multidiscipline business planning services for affordable housing. The Saskatoon Housing Initiatives Partnerships was selected to offer these development services and entered into a Service Agreement with the City of Saskatoon.
The project's ambition is to bring housing to all residents, including first-time buyers, low-income families, students and seniors. Furthermore, it recognises the challenges faced by immigrant and newcomers to Saskatoon. While immigration to the City has increased by almost 70% since 2005, immigrants are often those with the highest need of affordable housing. In an effort to address the needs of new immigrants, the partnership proposes solutions to individual problems.
The Saskatoon Housing Initiatives Partnership is designed to address some of the most significant challenges related to discrimination in housing including understanding housing needs, the limited jurisdiction of City authorities as well as newcomers' knowledge of housing markets. The Housing Initiatives Partnership has worked with private sector builders and developers, as well as affordable housing groups to increase the number of available units in the City and its surrounding areas. Their website includes information and resources for housing providers and builders.
City Information
The City of Saskatoon is the most populous city in the province of Saskatchewan. The city had a population of 202,340 in the Canada 2006 Census.
Saskatoon has been a member of the Canadian Coalition of Municipalities against Racism and Discrimination since May 2005.

SAN DIEGO — A Sheriff's Department helicopter was sent Tuesday night to pick up two hikers who became lost on Mount Laguna.
Authorities received a call from one of the hiker's cell phones about 6:10 p.m., said sheriff's Lt. Scott Ybarrondo. The hikers, a man and a woman, said they were stranded on the Noble Canyon Trailhead.
The department's ASTREA helicopter arrived in the area about 7:30 p.m., Ybarrondo said.
The department was assisted by the U.S. Forest Service.
The hikers said they had parked at Laguna-El Prado Campground earlier Tuesday to hike on the trail. At one point "they could not figure out where they were going," said Brian Harris, a spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service.
They were airlifted by the helicopter to the top of Mount Laguna, then given a ride to their car, Harris said. They were not injured.

March 14, 2007
The Toyota Prius, the flagship car for the environmentally conscious, is the source of some of the worst pollution in North America, and takes more combined energy to produce than a Hummer, says the Recorder.
- The nickel contained in the Prius' battery is mined and smelted at a plant in Ontario that has caused so much environmental damage to the surrounding environment that NASA has used the 'dead zone' around the plant to test moon rovers.
- Dubbed the Superstack, the factory has spread sulfur dioxide across northern Ontario, becoming every environmentalist's nightmare.
- Acid rain around the area was so bad it destroyed all the plants and the soil slid down off the hillside, according to Canadian Greenpeace energy-coordinator David Martin.
- After leaving the plant, the nickel travels to Europe, China, Japan and United States, a hardly environmentally sound round the world trip for a single battery.
But that isn't even the worst part, says the Record. According to a study by CNW Marketing, the total combined energy to produce a Prius (consisting of electrical, fuel, transportation, materials and hundreds of other factors over the expected lifetime), is greater than what it takes to produce a Hummer:
- The Prius costs an average of $3.25 per mile driven over a lifetime of 100,000 miles -- the expected lifespan of the Hybrid.
- The Hummer, on the other hand, costs a more fiscal $1.95 per mile to put on the road over an expected lifetime of 300,000 miles.
- That means the Hummer will last three times longer than a Prius and use almost 50 percent less combined energy doing it.

Last Updated 2:00 p.m. ET
LOS ANGELES A Los Angeles federal judge has indicated she will deny a bid by churches to force suburban Santa Monica to reopen spaces in a city park to private displays including Christmas Nativity scenes.
U.S. District Court Judge Audrey Collins announced her intent in a tentative ruling given to attorneys in advance of a hearing Monday morning.
An attorney representing a group of Christian churches said he will appeal. The group contends its free-speech rights are being violated.
Christmastime Nativity scenes had been erected in Palisades Park for decades. Last year, atheists overwhelmed the city's auction process for display sites.
Atheist Damon Vix erected an anti-God message alongside a life-sized nativity display in the park, igniting debates about free speech and separation of church and state.
Santa Monica officials squashed the city's holiday tradition this year rather than referee a religious rumble, banning private, unattended displays at the park.
Churches that have set up a 14-scene Christian diorama for decades sued over freedom of speech violations.
"It's a sad, sad commentary on the attitudes of the day that a nearly 60-year-old Christmas tradition is now having to hunt for a home, something like our savior had to hunt for a place to be born because the world was not interested," said Hunter Jameson, head of the nonprofit Santa Monica Nativity Scene Committee that is suing.
Missing from the courtroom drama will be Vix and his fellow atheists, who are not parties to the case. Their role outside court highlights a tactical shift as atheists evolve into a vocal minority eager to get their non-beliefs into the public square as never before.
National atheist groups earlier this year took out full-page newspaper ads and hundreds of TV spots in response to the Catholic bishops' activism around women's health care issues and are gearing up to battle for their own space alongside public Christmas displays in small towns across America this season.
"In recent years, the tactic of many in the atheist community has been, if you can't beat them, join them," said Charles Haynes, a senior scholar at the First Amendment Center and director of the Newseum's Religious Freedom Education Project in Washington. "If these church groups insist that these public spaces are going to be dominated by a Christian message, we'll just get in the game and that changes everything."
In the past, atheists primarily fought to uphold the separation of church and state through the courts. The change underscores the conviction held by many nonbelievers that their views are gaining a foothold, especially among young adults.
The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life released a study last month that found 20 percent of Americans say they have no religious affiliation, an increase from 15 percent in the last five years. Atheists took heart from the report, although Pew researchers stressed that the category also encompassed majorities of people who said they believed in God but had no ties with organized religion and people who consider themselves "spiritual" but not "religious."
"We're at the bottom of the totem pole socially, but we have muscle and we're flexing it," said Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation. "Ignore our numbers at your peril."
The trouble in Santa Monica began three years ago, when Vix applied for and was granted a booth in Palisades Park alongside the story of Jesus Christ's birth, from Mary's visit from the Angel Gabriel to the traditional creche.
Vix hung a simple sign that quoted Thomas Jefferson: "Religions are all alike founded on fables and mythologies." The other side read "Happy Solstice." He repeated the display the following year but then upped the stakes significantly.
In 2011, Vix recruited 10 others to inundate the city with applications for tongue-in-cheek displays such as a homage to the "Pastafarian religion," which would include an artistic representation of the great Flying Spaghetti Monster.
The secular coalition won 18 of 21 spaces. The two others went to the traditional Christmas displays and one to a Hanukkah display.
The atheists used half their spaces, displaying signs such as one that showed pictures of Poseidon, Jesus, Santa Claus and the devil and said: "37 million Americans know myths when they see them. What myths do you see?"
Most of the signs were vandalized and in the ensuing uproar, the city effectively ended a tradition that began in 1953 and earned Santa Monica one of its nicknames, the City of the Christmas Story.

Tiffany Ennis charged with covering two kids' heads with duct-tape
What to do on a rainy afternoon? Craft projects, bake some cupcakes, duct tape the children…
Tiffany Ennis and her friend, of Sandusky OH were having a nice Kaffeeklatsch when they decided it would be funny to put duct tape over Ennis' 8 year old son's eyes and mouth. Tiffany then took a photo and sent it to her son's father Rudy Yado, who then called the police. Tiff also put duct tape on her friend's 11 year old daughter.
When the po-po arrived, Tiff told them that the kids weren't hurt and that they were joking around. Uh huh, sure. The duct tape wasn't meant to hurt when it was removed from the kids' eyelids or lips or hair! If one of the kids vomited randomly, as kids are prone to do, they didn't mean for the child to choke on their own vomit!
Of course, our sticky simpleton still doesn't believe she's done anything wrong! She pleaded not guilty to two charges of child abuse. She will reappear in court on May 30. The police don't know whether the boy will remain with the taping tw*t.

Maybe this example should help you FRANCISCO. This example predicts 30 time steps ahead for a SINE wave.

You are probably doing something wrong with how you create your input matrix.
Can you confirm to me that the code I shared with you works fine without errors? (Not your code and your data, the code I posted).
Also, please use the code formatting button when posting code, it makes it more readable. If it doesn't work fine, then give me the errors. lets go step by step.
The boot files are twofold:
-One contains the inputs and consists of 2272 rows by 13 columns -the other file is composed of 2272 rows by 1 column.
The code already imported the split data for direct use.
I think the problem is that the network has been trained with dimensions and to create a new input data and targets, I do not meet those dimensions and still gives me error.
The code you posted I think it works correctly because I tested with some data in compliance with the network size and predicts well.
I will try to put the code used as clear as possible to see if you can give me some idea. I continued to test and I get the same error.
if true % code *% PREDICTION %*

% Test the Network
outputs = net(inputs,inputStates,layerStates);
errors = gsubtract(targets,outputs);
performance = perform(net,targets,outputs);
% Closed Loop Network
netc = closeloop(net);
netc.name = [net.name ' - Closed Loop'];
NumberOfPredictions = 3;
% Creating a new input series
newInputSeries = p2(1:NumberOfPredictions); %here I built the array must be
%dimensioned 13x3
newInputSeries = [cell2mat(inputSeries(end-1:end) ) (newInputSeries)]; %
%matrix 13x5
newInputSeries = num2cell(newInputSeries); %cell 13x5
%Creating a new target
newTargetSet = nan(size(newInputSeries)); %matrix 13x5
newTargetSet = num2cell(newTargetSet );
newTargetSet (1:1) = targetSeries(end:end); %cell 13x5
Many thanks
I tried to apply to normalize newInputSeries tonndata newTargetSet and out and in both cases a 1x5 matrix. Applying preparets out well but I simulate values for prediction makes me the following error:
"Error using network/sim (line 130) Layer state sizes does not match net.layers{:}.size."
Many thanks
Log in to comment.
A single hidden layer is sufficient.
Use the autocorrelation function of the target and the crosscorrelation function of the target and input to determine which input and feedback lags are significant.
Do not use the default division function 'dividerand' because the randomness destroys the correlations needed for prediction. I find 'divideblock' to be more appropriate. However, you may prefer 'divideind' or 'divideint'.
Hope this helps.

No Mutants Allowed - The Rybicki Maneuver
View Single Post
July 24th, 2007, 22:50
Crafting opinions that others will actually read and enjoy isn't easy, IMO. Somehow, knowing what you're talking about is overrated when it comes to writing reviews.
I had a boss who wrote theatrical reviews that were sometimes published in newspapers like The LA Times. I always admired his ability. He had a PH.D. in Journalism and impressive subject knowledge. But his views were often controversial. I used to answer his phone. Every Monday after he was published, the calls would roll in, regularly from impressive individuals, all to point out where he got it wrong.
Years later my own father started writing and submitting music reviews. But he was a retired engineer who never studied music or writing at all, didn't know anybody and -- as far as I could tell -- really didn't understand much about music at all. He just enjoyed expressing his opinions.
He was given his own column. Go figure.
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. But it don't snow here. It stays pretty green. I'm going to make a lot of money, then I'm going to quit this crazy scene.

Life today can be pretty hectic and keeping on top of everything a chore. From emails and appointments to keep, Twitter accounts to update, pictures to post on Facebook to the simple task of just managing your time effectively there are all sorts of demands on you that can make the everyday a little bit overwhelming.
A laptop with Windows 8 isn't going to make everything better, but with the right use of applications you can, at the very least, help to keep yourself more organised and up-to-date. The built-in People, Mail and Calendar applications are just a selection of Windows 8 tools that can assist you when it comes to managing and organising your life.
People is perhaps the best tool for helping you to keep on top of things that's ever created for Windows. Here, in this one simple application you can keep track of all your friends, family and work colleagues from a multitude of different social networks and email accounts. The People app lets you add accounts from Facebook, Twitter, Hotmail, Outlook, Google, LinkedIn and others. This brings together all your contacts in one place.
Click on 'What's new' and you can see any and all updates that the members of your People app have made since you were last online and, best of all it doesn't matter which account they updated – you see the latest tweets, Facebook status updates and more all from the People interface. You can favourite, retweet or reply to a tweet or like and add a comment to a Facebook post all without having to leave the People app and launch your web browser. It's an essential hub for all your contacts and makes managing the wealth of data that you get from multiple sources much easier to digest and respond to.
The default email application in Windows 8 is Mail. It's brand new and has been redesigned to complement the new Windows 8 look and feel. Everything has been simplified and now reading and composing messages is easier and more streamlined. If you have multiple accounts you can view all of them in the single Mail window with ease.
The interface really is very easy with just three icons in the top right that offer new message, reply or delete, the menu bar of old has been stripped out. The three column display shows your inbox and associated folders to the left, email details such as sender and subject line in the middle and the message itself is displayed to the right.
Mail makes it incredibly easy to manage your emails - just open the application and fire up the Settings charm to get access to the management features. You can turn push notifications on or off and limit email downloads to a certain time frame as well as choose an automatically added email signature. You can also have notifications switched on or off so you can take a break from the incoming work messages or, alternatively, always be on top of your email. The beauty of the Mail app in Windows 8 is the shear simplicity it offers, allowing you to get on top of your messages.
Much like Mail the Calendar application in Windows 8 offers a very clean and simple interface that makes adding and removing items easy. The simple design also means that you'll be able to see what's on for you at-a-glance. No need for you to drill down through tons of useless information, the calendar app just shows you exactly what you need to know. Each of the day, week or month views shares the same clean and simple design though you can take control of the colour schemes for your calendar.
To add an event you simply double-click on the day and enter the relevant information – if you have a smartphone the entries can be instantaneously synced with that too, so you'll always have your calendar with you. If you add an event on your phone the calendar app will also pick it up and enter it automatically. For even more organisation you can show events on the lock screen so you can see what you're supposed to be doing even when your laptop is locked.
As well as giving you tools to help manage the information overload through email and social media status updates there are some other cool apps that come with Windows 8 which can help to make you more organised. The Weather app can find your location and give you an hour-by-hour forecast so you'll always know if you can risk leaving the house without your jacket and umbrella. The Weather app is beautifully designed and as well as the simple forecast you can use it to see temperature, rainfall and cloud cover satellite images.
Maps powered by Bing help you to plan anything from a short journey to the shops to a cross-country jaunt of many miles. There are live traffic updates showing the most congested routes and you can swap between a traditional map view and overhead satellite views to help you see exactly what's what. Finally, the travel app, which on the surface, looks like just a bit of fun allows you to explore far off places from the comfort of your laptop.
Don't be fooled by the fantastic 360 images and panoramas of the most popular travel destinations, this app can help you organise a trip too. Travel guides, restaurants, hotels and useful information such as currency, time difference and native language are all just a click away. Of course, these little applications are fun, but they serve a useful purpose too and can help you get things done without having to do all the research yourself or rely upon a web search that inevitably returns a host of potentially unrelated hits.
All the applications mentioned here are launched simply by typing their name at the start screen. The more you use and sync the data between your People, Mail and Contacts apps the sooner you'll be completely organised and able to master the information overload that occurs today. The other simple applications included in Windows 8 like Maps and Weather can also help you to be more organised and ready for anything that the day throws at you.

The Painful Period.Every girl gets a period. It's not a secret. But it sucks. Not gonna lie.
Every girl has different period experiences. For me, it's the most painful thing I have ever gone through.
Let's start with my first period:
Friday, March 6, 2015.
Since it was Friday, it was pizza and movie night at my house. I was just eating, and this is about to get weird, I felt something in my stomach. I've always been a kinda constipated person (no hate, plez) so I assumed it was the number 2. I took some milk of magnesia, to, ya know, clean meh system out.
The next morning, my stomach was STILL hurting. I ignored it, and went on with my day. It was about 3 o'clock when something just didn't feel right. My entire body seemed to ache. I went to the bathroom, because I'm a camel and didn't go until then. I look in my underwear, and my heart drops right into the toilet. There was (Sorry for the gory details. If you think this is gross, leave. I'm trying to help some other people and perhaps prepare them for womanhood) blood EVERYWHERE. I wiped, blood. Wiped again, blood. Luckily, I had been preparing for this for two years. I had a bucket under the sink filled with womanly products. Sadly, I didn't have any pads. Just liners and tampons. So, I put on a liner (Not putting a tampon in for my first period.)
I've always had sensitive skin. You know how babies get diaper rash? Well, I kinda had that. But I did change my pads A LOT. Way more frequently than necessary. But I was getting some stupid rash. It burned, like fire raising up from Hell just to burn my lady bits. I told my stepmom, and she gave me every bottle of diaper rash cream we had. But nothing worked.
My stepmom's best friend is our neighbor. She's a nice person. Bree tells my neighbor EVERYTHING. So, Bree told her about this. Turns out, Hannah (the neighbor) has the same problem. She brought over some medicine, and life was good.
So, the point of this is to let girls know who are just going through their period and might be experiencing some difficulties, tell an adult. A trusted woman who knows her way around womanhood. You never know. The person living 20 feet from you might be able to save you from misery, pain, and suffering.

What other names is Bitter Melon known by?African Cucumber, Ampalaya, Balsam Pear, Balsam-Apple, Balsambirne, Balsamo, Bitter Apple, Bitter Cucumber, Bitter Gourd, Bittergurke, Carilla Fruit, Carilla Gourd, Cerasee, Chinli-Chih, Cundeamor, Fructus Mormordicae Grosvenori, Karavella, Kathilla, Karela, Kareli, Kerala, Kuguazi, K'u-Kua, Lai Margose, Melón Amargo, Melon Amer, Momordica, Momordica charantia, Momordica murcata, Momordique, Pepino Montero, P'u-T'ao, Sorosi, Sushavi, Vegetable insulin, Wild Cucumber.
What is Bitter Melon?Bitter melon is a plant. The fruit and seeds are used to make medicine.
Bitter melon is used for various stomach and intestinal disorders including gastrointestinal (GI) upset, ulcers, colitis, constipation, and intestinal worms. It is also used for diabetes, kidney stones, fever, a skin condition called psoriasis, and liver disease; to start menstruation; and as supportive treatment for people with HIV/AIDS.
Topically, bitter melon is used for deep skin infections (abscesses) and wounds.
Bitter melon is used as a vegetable in India and other Asian countries and as an ingredient in some kinds of curries.
Insufficient Evidence to Rate Effectiveness for...
- Diabetes. Research results so far are conflicting and inconclusive. Some studies show that bitter melon fruit, fruit juice, or extract improves glucose tolerance, reduces blood sugar levels, and lowers HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar control over time) in people with type 2 diabetes. However, these studies have some flaws. Other research has not been positive.
- Psoriasis.
- Stomach and intestinal disorders.
- Kidney stones.
- Liver disease.
- Skin abscesses and wounds.
- Other conditions.
Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence to Rate (detailed description of each of the ratings).

Ahh, Sorry about that. It's unusual for someone to inquire about that level of detail on gun design.
All gas ports are a compromise because the powders and bullet weights and therefore the pressure and pressure dwell times on the barrel side of the port have some range. The gun has to run with the lowest port pressure impulse and not be damaged by the highest. So, the first thing you would need to know is what the barrel pressure at the port location is over the time between when the bullet base passes over it and when the bullet exits, and to know that for the full range of loads expected to operate the gun properly?
The next thing you would need to know is how much force needs to be applied over what period of time to do the work of running the operating mechanism through a cycle? The gas available will start out entering the port fast and wind down after the bullet exits and gas starts to bleed backward through the gas port (assuming no valve is present as the M14 cylinder creates)? In the case of gas impingement systems, how much force is needed to impart enough inertia to compress the springs and still drive the bolt back all the way? That's your starting data.
Next you need to calculate the area the gas pressure works against so you can divide it into the required force to find the pressure needed to work the mechanism. Once you know how much pressure you need, calculate the volume of gas needed to create that pressure in the volume of your gas system.
Once you know how much gas you need, you can calculate the size of the hole. Treat it as a short pipe. Calculating the gas flow through the port isn't too bad with all the on-line calculators available.
This one
may help? You will have to guess at gas temperature here.
The easiest thing, if you just want to replace a barrel, is to buy a set of wire gauges and measure the existing gas port diameter. Drill something a bit smaller initially to see if it works OK with your ammo? Buy a set of number drills so you can enlarge it in small steps from there.
