Cameraman Messes With NASCAR Driver Kyle Busch on National TV [VIDEO]
Yesterday marked one of the best-named sporting events of our time, "The Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 NASCAR Sprint Cut Race" at the Michigan International Speedway. The entertainment didn't stop there: during the post-race interviews, a TV cameraman positioned behind Kyle Busch mimed slapping around the third-place finisher in his lens. You know, like when you close one of your eyes and pretend to squish the head of someone in the distance. Cameraman stuff. If only we could see it from his perspective.
Massive Explosion on the Sun Caught on Video
For most of us down here on earth, June 7th was a fairly typical day. If you happened to be on the sun, on the other hand, you would have been treated to one of the most massive solar explosions man has ever seen. It may not look all that big in the video — the footage was captured on an ultraviolet camera by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory — but remember, this is the sun we're looking at here. It's more than 100 times larger than the Earth.

Amidst a sea of fact- and opinion-based newspapers, parody publication The Onion has stood as a beacon of completely made-up journalism for 1,000 issues.

Seriously, you have to be in pretty good shape to have your head transplanted onto a woman's body at that age.

British Citizens Dress Like the Undead for Zombie Awareness [VIDEO]
A group of about 200 concerned citizens dressed as zombies this weekend and marched through the British city of Leicester to highlight the city's lack of preparation for an uprising of the undead. After Leicester resident Robert Ainsley learned (via a freedom of information request) that the city did not have a zombie contingency plan built into its emergency preparations, he and 26-year-old politics graduate James Dixon used Twitter and Facebook to mobilize the masses. The demonstrators walked from the famous Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower to the offices of city council in protest.

Marlin Camp 9: Need help with Hammer Strut assembly
I field stripped my Camp 9 and along with finding the buffer in pieces (dust actually), I found the hammer strut, strut bridge and spring laying loose. I have NO IDEA how to reassemble. It was not my intent to dissamble the trigger group. I have a new buffer being shipped, and was going to wait til it arrived to see if it offered any clues. But, if anyone has any insight as to how to reassemble the strut/bridge, PLEASE help!

I have a Camp .45 and had a buffer fail. Numrich has a improved buffer for the Camp carbines, I replaced the 11 lbs recoil spring with a 16.5 lbs from Wolf.
By strut bridge do you mean the trigger action assembly ?

It's actually the small rectangular piece that the hammer strut passes through (#28 on the schematic you referred to). So, you have the hammer strut that has somewhat of a two pronged fork on one end. This presses against a circular depression at the base of the hammer (when installed), and then the spring goes over the strut. The strut bridge then slides over the strut. The strut is, for the most part a rectangular tang of metal approx 2 inches long and an <1/8 wide. So, the strut bridge has a small rectangular hole that the strut passes through. It seems obvious that the strut bridge serves the dual purpose of holding the otherwise loose end of the strut in place, and also to provide a stop for the spring to compress against. The real mystery is what holds the strut bridge in place. There is no obvious "slot" or any type of stop that would serve this purpose. The only thing that I have been able to assume is that the buffer will actually provide the "stop" for the bridge. But, since I don't have a buffer at the moment, I can't verify.
Thanks iin advance for any help.

Does your strut bridge look like this http://www.e-gunparts.com/product.as...ductSKU=723720 ?
I'm guessin one or both of tabs on the strut bridge sheared off.
Unlocked 010.jpg This part failed in my Camp .45 abut 8-10 yrs ago I made my own replacement from saw blade steel and thousands of rounds later all is still well.

That appears to be the problem. I looked at my bridge and the tabs have been sheared. Not having seen this part before, I had no idea they were supposed to be there.

Marlin Model 9 Hammer Strut Bridge
I am not happy with the Marlin Model 9 and find it a cheap poorly designed weapon.
The problem with the buffers shattering is well documented elsewhere. I changed the buffer and recoil spring and put a folding stock on it, intending to use it as a backup carbine to my Ruger Mini 14.
Yesterday I took the wife out to learn how to shoot it. She put quite a few rounds through it, then it stopped working. I took it home and disassembled it to find that the hammer strut bridge had broke.
I had previously lost one of these when cleaning the weapon; one side of the receiver had opened up a little and the bridge was shot out into oblivion.
It took me at least 2 hours of frustrating effort to force the new assembly into the proper place on the weapon, even using a work bench and clamps. One time the hammer strut bridge was shot once again into oblivion. At this time I swiched to a nickel one that I had previously obtained from Numrich and I hope it holds out better than the regular ones. Then another hour to get the weapon back together, for some reason the front pin holes did not align properly.
The fact that this weapon is not manufactured or sold anymore speaks for itself. Marlin does not even sell all the parts to it anymore. I will look into purchasing a more robust carbine, perhaps the Kel-Tec Sub 2000 9MM SW59 Grip which would take the same high capacity magazines as the Marlin.

In an effort to replicate the Best XI of Week 4's huge outing, Week 5's side put forth a commendable effort.
Wojciech Szczesny allowed just one goal, a put-back after a ricocheted shot off the post, against Stoke City and made two saves during the match.
Last week's defense proved outstanding, as Leighton Baines came through with a sensational two-goal performance for Everton, Branislav Ivanovic made five successful tackles as Chelsea kept a clean sheet versus Fulham, and Chico earned points for his part in holding Crystal Palace scoreless.
The midfield was carried by a dazzling display from Mesut Ozil. Arsenal's record signing picked up an assist on two of the Gunners' three goals Sunday, giving him three helpers through his first two Premier League matches. Then, Norwich City's Robert Snodgrass unfortunately missed a sixth minute penalty kick as the Canaries fell 1-0 to Aston Villa, Yohan Cabaye played just 62 minutes for Newcastle, and Adam Johnson's Sunderland side were thumped 3-0 by West Brom.
Up front, Romelu Lukaku made his Everton debut as a half-time substitute and scored in the 85th minute to propel the Toffees to a thrilling 3-2 win. The young Belgian's stike partners fared less favorably, with Samuel Eto'o playing 64 scoreless minutes and Wilfried Bony receiving a disappointing DNP.
All 20 Premier League teams are in action this gameweek, but some sides will be coming off tiresome Capital One Cup matches held in the midweek, possibly leading to some squad rotations.
At the top of the table, Arsenal's increasingly banged-up team travels to play a Swansea side on good form, while second place Tottenham hosts fourth place Chelsea in an all-London affair of intrigue. Conversely, Fulham welcomes Cardiff City to London in a match that pits two struggling teams that have earned a combined three points over their last three fixtures.
This weekend also marks the return of Luis Suarez to Premier League action. The Uruguayan was suspended 10 matches over the end of last season and beginning of this term for his Dracula impression on Branislav Ivanovic, but is now eligible to play for Liverpool, who fared quite admirably in his absence.
Now that the stage is set, let's take a gander at this week's Best XI:
Formation: 3-4-3
Artur Boruc (Southampton) – In five matches this season, Boruc has managed to keep three clean sheets and has allowed just two goals. The veteran keeper has also made 12 saves, which isn't anything special, but when considering Southampton's total of three goals themselves this term, one can get a feel for the defensive nature of the Saints' play thus far. Enter a Crystal Palace team that has not scored in its last two matches and Boruc could hold another team scoreless.
Matija Nastasic (Manchester City) – Since losing 3-2 at Crystal Palace in their second game of the season, Man City has outscored their opponents 14-1 in their last five competitive matches, with the one goal coming in the 87th minute of last weekend's blowout derby win over Manchester United. City is on a roll and faces an Aston Villa side without the league's joint-top scorer, Christian Benteke, this Saturday. It seems like a prime clean sheet opportunity for the less-heralded Nastasic.
Patrice Evra (Manchester United) – Evra and United's defense took a pounding versus rivals Manchester City last weekend and will look to rebound Saturday when they host West Brom, who have only scored against 18th place Fulham and last place Sunderland so far this season.
Jose Enrique (Liverpool) – In their midweek tie against Manchester United, Liverpool utilized a three-man defensive lineup that saw the technically sound Enrique shift to a left-sided midfield position. From there, the Spaniard was able to put in seven crosses, with three landing on target. If manager Brendan Rodgers sticks with the same tactics against Sunderland this weekend, Enrique could earn a clean sheet while featuring more offensively.
Eden Hazard (Chelsea) – With Gareth Bale leaving the Premier League for the sunny Spanish shore this summer, many tipped Hazard to be among the best midfielders in fantasy this season. While the talent is certainly there, the production has eluded Hazard, who hasn't registered a single goal or assist so far. This weekend, Chelsea goes to Tottenham, who currently lead the league with just one goal allowed this season, so picking Hazard is definitely going against the grain, but maybe this is the sort of occasion the Belgian needs to catapult his campaign.
Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal) – For someone not known for goal scoring or playing in an offensive midfield position, Ramsey has started this season feverishly, with three goals and one assist. The Welshman returns to his country this weekend to face Swansea, where his newfound marksmanship could come in handy for Arsenal, who will be without Theo Walcott, Santi Cazorla, and Lukas Podolski, among others.
Adam Lallana (Southampton) – After picking up a decisive assist at Anfield last week, Lallana will go against a depleted Crystal Palace this weekend. Southampton should be riding a wave of confidence following their big road victory versus Liverpool, which could help the Saints break the shortage of goals they've endured thus far. Lallana will be active along the right wing in looking for his first goal of the season.
Marouane Fellaini (Manchester United) – Since making his move to Old Trafford, Fellaini has averaged 2.5 shots per game while being inserted into the Red Devils' starting lineup. This weekend's home game with West Brom heavily favors United, especially given the Baggies' loss on penalty kicks in the midweek, so the afro-sporting Belgian has a solid opportunity to score his first goal for his new club.
Romelu Lukaku (Everton) – The Chelsea loanee made the difference in his first match for Everton and played a full 90 minutes in their midweek Capital Cup game, so he should be chomping at the bit to make his Goodison Park debut. Along with that, in his two matches versus Newcastle last season, Lukaku scored a goal in one game and assisted in the other, so this weekend's matchup works in his favor.
Sergio Aguero (Manchester City) – While new manager Manuel Pelligrini has flip-flopped between starting Edin Dzeko or Alvaro Negredo as his traditional No. 9 striker, Aguero has started four of City's five matches, playing just behind either talisman. In that role, the Argentine has produced three goals and one assist. With Manchester City expected to dominate possession at Villa Park this weekend and the Villains coming off a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham in the Capital One Cup, "Kun" could very well add to his statistical total come Saturday.
Luis Suarez (Liverpool) – The much-maligned striker makes his Premiership season debut against a Sunderland side that currently sits in last place and has allowed the most goals so far this season. Despite fellow striker Daniel Sturridge's fine early season form, the Reds will welcome back their world-class front-man with open arms and immediately make Suarez the focus of their offensive exploits. Certainly not one to be bashful, the Uruguayan attempted eight shots in Liverpool's midweek match and many more could follow Sunday.
Nastasic – Evra – Enrique
Hazard – Ramsey – Lallana – Fellaini
Lukaku – Aguero - Suarez

- July 25 -- Nevada leads nation in rate of foreclosures
- July 9 -- Home sales rise as prices continue slide
Home sales picked up their pace last month as prices continued their slide.
The number of homes sold by a Realtor in the Las Vegas area last month increased for a seventh consecutive month. The Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors said today that 2,592 single-family homes were sold in July, compared to 2,226 in June. The July number is up 97 percent from July 2007.
Despite the sales increase, the median price of homes sold last month was down to $220,000. That's a decrease of more than 2 percent compared to last month and a fall of more than 25 percent in the past year.
"As in past months, these latest GLVAR statistics are a mixed bag," Realtor association President Patty Kelley said in a statement today.
Kelley said bank-owned houses are dragging prices down.
Nevada had the highest foreclosure rate in the nation in the second quarter of the year, according to data from Calif.-based RealtyTrac Inc. In Las Vegas, one in every 35 households received a foreclosure notice last quarter -- the third-highest rate of any city in the country.
The Realtor association said 358 condos were sold last month, which is up from 294 in June and up 18 percent compared to July 2007. The median price of those condos, at $135,000, fell nearly 2 percent in the last month, and has fallen about 31 percent in the past year, according to numbers released today.
The number of homes and condos for sale remained steady, with 23,423 homes and 5,538 condos on the market.
At July's sales pace, the valley has a nine-month supply of homes and a 15 1/2-month supply of condos on the market.

People Power: How We Can Fight Back and Win Against Powerful Polluter Interests
Bill McKibben | April 8, 2011
By Bill McKibben • Friday, April 8, 2011 - 12:54
Guest post by Bill McKibben and Naomi Klein, originally published at AlterNet.
Not for forty years has there been such a stretch of bad news for environmentalists in Washington.
Last month in the House, the newly empowered GOP majority voted down a resolution stating simply that global warming was real: they've apparently decided to go with their own versions of physics and chemistry.
This week in the Senate, the biggest environmental groups were reduced to a noble, bare-knuckles fight merely to keep the body from gutting the Clean Air Act, the proudest achievement of the green movement. The outcome is still unclear; even several prominent Democrats are trying to keep the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases.
And at the White House? The president who boasted that his election marked the moment when 'the oceans begin to recede' instead introduced an energy plan heavy on precisely the carbon fuels driving global warming. He focused on 'energy independence,' a theme underscored by his decision to open 750 million tons of Wyoming coal to new mining leases. That's the equivalent of running 3,000 new power plants for a year.

United Air doubles fuel surcharge as oil rises
NEW YORK (Reuters) - UAL Corp said on Friday its United Airlines unit doubled its fuel surcharge on most domestic U.S. flights to $10 from $5, to counter a recent rise in oil prices.
The increase -- which adds $10 to a roundtrip ticket -- took effect late on Thursday, a spokesman for the U.S. No. 2 airline said.
In early November, United introduced the $5 each way fuel surcharge, incorporated into fares for travel within the continental United States, excluding Hawaii.
Airlines have been grappling with soaring fuel costs, which are related to the price of crude oil, with a series of fare hikes. The surcharge is another way for United to pass along that growing expense to customers.
Nymex crude oil futures <CLc1> rose slightly to $92.25 on Friday, extending a three-week oil price surge.
Every dollar increase in the price of crude oil raises United's annual costs by about $65 million, the airline has said previously.
Shares of UAL fell 44 cents to $35.10 on Nasdaq.

(CNSNews.com) – Describing himself as "a child of the ocean," Secretary of State John Kerry warned that the "fragile ecosystem" is threatened by climate change.
"We call this beautiful planet that we are privileged to inhabit for a short period of time — we call it Earth, but it could well have been called Ocean because three-quarters of it is ocean," Kerry told a gathering at the National Geographic Society in Washington on Monday.
Kerry mentioned the "enormous challenge ahead of us," given an "energy policy that results in acidification, the bleaching of coral, the destruction of species, the change in the Arctic because of the ice melt, and the change in the krill, the population of whales. The entire system is interdependent, and we toy with that at our peril."

EVE: Valkyrie, CCP Games' space dogfighting game, will be co-published by Oculus VR as an Oculus Rift headset exclusive.
EVE: Valkyrie started life as EVE VR, an Oculus Rift tech demo built by a small team at CCP. The experience snowballed from there and snatched up several awards at last year's E3 and this year's CES. EVE: Valkyrie is being developed by CCP's Newcastle, UK studio.
"The core purpose of CCP is to make virtual worlds more meaningful than real life," CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson said during his DICE 2014 talk. Pétursson's talk mostly revolved around EVE Online, but near the end he talked about how "super excited" CCP is by Oculus Rift. "It is much easier for people to accept as reality," he added about the implementation of Oculus Rift. "It's a much shorter leap of faith to really accept that we really have the ability to create virtual worlds more meaningful than real life."
Oculus VR still hasn't announced when it plans to launch the Oculus Rift at retail, but EVE: Valkyrie will be there on day one.

Too cute! Jennifer Garner and her sweet daughter Seraphina were snapped as they took a Starbucks-fueled walk in Santa Monica, Calif. on Wednesday (November 16).
The mom-to-be and the two-year-old started off the day with lunch at Huckleberry restaurant and then strolled with a drink-to-go.
Talking fashion with InStyle recently, Jennifer dished about stylist Rachel Zoe, who called the Butter actress her 'celebrity mom style icon' last month. "Rachel Zoe is so determined to not put me in maternity clothes," she laughed.
"I have four months to go. Sooner or later, [Zoe] is going to have to put me in a maternity dress. Eventually that is going to happen, but so far she has gotten her way."

Congresswoman claims a Filner groping (years ago)
Former San Diego mayor allegedly went in for a kiss
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., Nov. 20
The San Diego chapter of the League of Conservation Voters yesterday issued a rather dismal report card reviewing actions of Mayor Jerry Sanders and the city council. Only three council members were ranked by the group at a level of C or better, while two received failing grades and the other three shared the mayor's D ranking.
Elected officials were scored this year for criteria identified by the League including "voting to adopt a comprehensive policy for sustainable water supply in San Diego, voting to return amendments pertaining to wetland deviations back to the Land Use andHousing Committee for environmental review, despite recommendations from MayorSanders' staff that the Council approve the amendments, voting to establish San Diego's all-electric vehicle car-share pilot program, [and] establishing an administrative regulation to ban single-use plastic water bottles and plastic foam products."
Rankings were as follows:
Mayor Sanders: D- Sherri Lightner (District 1): D Kevin Faulconer (2): F Tood Gloria (3): B Tony Young (4): D Carl DeMaio (5): F Lorie Zapf (6): D- Marti Emerald (7): B David Alvarez (8): C+

WYOMING NEWS SERVICE, Laramie, WY – The dead of winter in Wyoming inspires some to pack their bags for the southern climes and become "snow birds" as a means to escape the short days and cold temperatures.
Lack of sunlight during the winter months can trigger Seasonal Affective Disorder, called SAD, with those living in northern states most likely to feel its effects. Clinician Jesse Bell is an expert in identifying and treating SAD, which can range from mild to debilitating. He describes the symptoms.
Other symptoms to watch for include oversleeping, irritability, weight gain and/or a craving for starchy foods. Bell adds that SAD can go hand-in-hand with other types of depression.
A general physician can help screen for symptoms, and treatments include light therapy, talk and group therapy and medications.
Bell says it's estimated that 10-million Americans experience SAD. In fact, according to the National Mental Health Association, three out of four SAD sufferers are women.

Adam WarlockIn the comics, the evil Thanos is frequently in pursuit of the Infinity Gems (Infinity Stones in the movies). And the strongest force in his way has got to be Adam Warlock. This suave space hero is also the result of an experiment, a creation meant to mimic the ideal man, only for evolution to allow the character to blossom into much more than just a man. Warlock eventually becomes a guardian of the Infinity Stones, forming the Infinity Watch to keep them from being united, to save the universe from the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, a powerful glove that requires all Stones to operate. He was reportedly within the cocoon on display in The Collector's trophy room, and may even be Star-Lord's dad. While his comic persona is relatively dry, the movies seem to have a lot of options, should they choose to develop him. This is, basically, a role for a very handsome leading man. Simon Baker would be an amazing choice were he more bankable. Because he is not, we're all willing to discuss suggestions.

You know one thing that is great about Houston right now is the explosion of local labels; AG82, Artstorm, Cutthroat, Ditchwater, Esotype, Mia Kat, Phonographic Arts, Psycho Wolf, Team Science and so on. It's part of the local indie boom that's been happening for the last few year. Well, while waiting for Shane Lauder to arrive and do sound at Rudz, I spoke with Jaime of Giant Princess and he mentioned in passing that he and some others were starting a label. I, of course, had to prod him about it – the more, the merrier I say. So here is the scoop. The label is called Paper Stamp Record Co. and much like CIA records it will run as a collective of sorts with these bands all contributing to the fund – pretty smart. The schedule for releases is pretty ambitious so here is a rundown of their '09 release schedule:
Feb '09 – Giant Princess/BLACKIE Split 7″
Mar '09 – Giant Princess LP
Mar/Apr '09 – BLACKIE LP
Apr '09 – Giant Princess/Sings Split 7″
Jul '09 – Sings LP
Aug '09 – La Femme Politico LP
You'll note that this is all on Vinyl? Awesome!!!! I love it! That seems to be a big trend among local labels. Thank goodness the CD, with the advent of decent Internet music services, has been recognized as the glorified coaster it truly is. (Well, except for boxed sets which, when well annotated, are the one true point where CDs shine.) So good luck Jaime we'll be looking forward to all the releases in '09.
Oh and another thing I should mention about 2009 is that according to JD, even though JD and Stacey are moving, the Secret Saturday Shows at The Shady Tavern will still continue. If you have a free afternoon on a Saturday you should stop by.
By the way, while I'm rambling, I need to point out that Shane did show up and that, beyond from the excellent sound, he did something I've never seen at Rudyard's – he actually kicked up the lights. Geez, I always thought Rudyard's just had bad lighting but it turns out that when you use the lights it looks great. My reliance on flash was minimal as was my need to Photoshop the images. So, thanks Shane.
Lazy Horse started off the night. Unfortunately my notes are pretty illegible. "Sound like H????? meets a 60's teen party band." Hayden? Nope, Halford? Nope. Really, I don't know what the hell I wrote. But I will tell you one thing that I do remember and that was Charles' guitar work. Anytime he'd solo it was this wonderful loopy and loose J. Mascius tone that was fluid and expressive. One person in the audience even shouted "More solos!!" I had to concur.
Guitars followed with the lads dressed as Pilgrims, the ladies dressed as Indians, and JD dressed as the most frightening Turkey ever. (Stacey was quite proud of her seamstress skills on the Indian outfits). The music is a nice mish-mash of influences and the nice thing is that while the costumes were funny and cute they never overwhelmed the performance or the music – they added but they were never a distraction. It was energetic and fun stuff all around.
Born Liars closed the show and as usual brought the house down. No girl fights or broken bottles this year but still all the straight up rock and roll you'd expect from these guys and the typical audience reaction which was a lot of fists and drinks held in the air, shouting, dancing, and Christian of Hell City Kings unable to resist the urge to jump on stage and sing backing vocals. Kudos to new drummer (Josh is it?) of Homopolice who clearly is much more comfortable with the material than the last time I saw them.

West Virginia State Police obtained additional arrest warrants in Harrison County for Jamey Dodrill and Lewis Dailey Thursday.
The men are charged with one count of sex trafficking a minor and one count of second-degree sexual assault in connection to raping a girl at a Washington Avenue residence in Clarksburg, said Cpl. S.D. Swiger. That residence belongs to Dodrill's ex-wife, Swiger said.
The pair remains in North Central Regional Jail. The investigation is ongoing.
Original Story
West Virginia State Police have arrested two men in connection to a Taylor County teenager named in a Silver Alert earlier this week.
State Police in Harrison County arrested Lewis Dailey, 22, of Ratliff, Ky., and Jamey Dodrill, 37, of Fairmont, on Wednesday. The men kidnapped and sexually assaulted the girl, according to a criminal complaint.
Dailey talked to the girl on the Internet and knew that she was a minor, but made plans to travel from his Kentucky home and meet her in Taylor County. Dailey drove her to a Fairmont home where Dailey and Dodrill raped the girl, according to a criminal complaint. The teen told state police that she didn't want to have sex with the men, but she was afraid for her safety. The girl turned herself in to law enforcement Tuesday. State police said the girl is mentally impaired.
Dailey is charged with kidnapping, trafficking a minor, second-degree sexual abuse, third-degree sexual abuse and conspiracy. Dailey is being held in North Central Regional Jail with bail set at $2 million. Dodrill is charged with kidnapping, second-degree sexual assault and conspiracy. He is being held with bail set at $750,000.
During the course of the investigation, probable cause was developed, allowing State Police to arrest Allen Reeves, 23 of Parkersburg, a fugitive from the State of Maryland. State police said Reeves also communicated with the victim over the computer in an attempt to meet with her in Taylor County.
Reeves is currently in North Central Regional Jail.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Azeri is the favorite to be named the first female Horse of the Year at a Beverly Hills hotel on Monday night.
No female horse has won the annual honor since Lady's Secret in 1986.
Thoroughbred racing hands out its 2002 awards in a black-tie affair.
Azeri won eight times in nine starts last year, including an overpowering victory in the Breeders' Cup Distaff. She already is assured of winning the Eclipse Award as champion older filly or mare since she is the only finalist.
Some voters could stay away from Azeri since she ran in races restricted to fillies and mares.
War Emblem, the winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, figures to be the most prominent challenger for Horse of the Year, but War Emblem came up short in the Belmont Stakes and the Breeders' Cup Classic, possibly hurting his chances.
Other Horse of the Year finalists are Rock of Gibraltar, an Irish horse trained by Aidan O'Brien, and Left Bank.
War Emblem also is a finalist for top three-year-old colt, along with Medaglia d'Oro, the winner of the Travers Stakes, and Came Home, who won the Santa Anita Derby and beat some older horses in the Pacific Classic.
Rock of Gibraltar raced just once in the United States, losing in the Breeders' Cup Mile. Left Bank, who died last fall from complications from colic, posted his biggest wins in the seven-furlong Tom Fool Handicap and the Whitney Handicap.
Left Bank also is a finalist for both champion older male and champion sprinter. The other finalists for champion older male are Street Cry, who was second in the Whitney and won the Dubai World Cup, and Stephen Foster Handicap, and Volponi, the stunning winner of the Breeders' Cup Classic.
Orientate, the Breeders' Cup Sprint winner, is the favorite in the sprinter category. The other finalist is Xtra Heat, who won seven of 11 starts last year.
A horse without a win in the United States has yet to win an Eclipse Award, but Rock of Gibraltar could break through as a finalist for the top male turf horse. The other finalists in that category are High Chaparral, who won the Breeders' Cup Turf, and With Anticipation, who three Grade I races.
The favorite for top jockey is Jerry Bailey, who set a single-season record for purse earnings and won 13 Grade I races. Edgar Prado, Mike Smith, and John Velazquez are the other competitors.
Bobby Frankel won 14 Grade I races and is a finalist for top trainer, an award he has won three times previously. The other finalists are Steve Asmussen, who led the nation with 407 winners, and Laura de Seroux, the trainer for Azeri.
Surprisingly absent from the list of finalists is Bob Baffert, who trained War Emblem and Vindication.
The overwhelming favorite for champion two-year-old filly is Storm Flag Flying, the unbeaten winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenille Fillies.
Vindication, an early favorite for this year's Kentucky Derby and won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, is favored to be named champion two-year-old male.
The finalists for top three-year-old filly include Farda Amiga, who won the Kentucky Oaks and Alabama Stakes.
There are 228 voters for the awards this year, which are chosen from the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, the Daily Racing Form, Equibase, and the National Turf Writers Association.

The Introduction of the Automotive Catalytic Converter in Chile
The regional Special Commission for Decontamination of Chile's capital, Santiago, was formed in 1990. The issue of regulating passenger car emissions was one of the first initiatives on the commission's agenda, empowering a group of consultants and administrators to set up a structure for the transition in legal, economic, and commercial terms. In April 1992 the first car with a catalytic converter was sold as unleaded petrol became available, and from 1 September the same year a decree required every new car in the capital regions to be equipped with a catalytic converter. Chile thus introduced the automotive catalytic converter in little more than a year. It is argued that the critical factors for this process were the effective and efficient adoption and adaptation of foreign technology, policy, and market space, Chile's common understanding of the need to reduce emissions, and prevalent strong economic growth permitting widespread car ownership and renewal. © The London School of Economics and the University of Bath 2003

When Kevin Towers looked at the Diamondbacks he didn't see a franchise that has already clinched a second straight last-place finish in the National League West. Nor did he see a franchise that won the division with a young nucleus three seasons ago and seemed ready to dominate the division only for everything to start going wrong.
Instead, Towers looked at the Diamondbacks and saw good things. He saw a franchise owned by Ken Kendrick and operated by club president Derrick Hall, two people he believes want to win. He saw a roster filled with intriguing young talent. Though he won't say so publicly, he also saw some sweet irony in becoming the Diamondbacks' general manager just a little more than a week short of a year since being fired from the same job by the Padres.
Towers had also interviewed for the Diamondbacks' GM job in 2005 with Kendrick. However, he lost out to then Rockies assistant GM Josh Byrnes. Jeff Moorad, then the Diamondbacks' president, made the final decision and selected Byrnes because of his familiarity with advanced statistical metrics. Towers, conversely, has the reputation of relying more on scouting reports and gut instinct when making decisions.
Moorad became principal owner of the Padres early last season and it came as no surprise when he fired Towers after a 12-year run on the next-to-last day of the season. Moorad again went with the analytical type, hiring Red Sox assistant GM Jed Hoyer.
While Diamondbacks-Padres games figure to take on a whole meaning in 2011, Towers isn't thinking about revenge as he begins his new job. Instead, he is thinking positive.
"The reason I'm here is to win," Towers said. "I've never been someone to have a five-year plan or a six-year plan or anything like that. I want to win now. I want to win next year and so does Ken Kendrick. Regardless of the record now, I don't think this is a team that is going to have to wait five years before win. I don't see any reason why next year we can't be this year's Padres."
Towers, of course, is referring to the Padres' surprise run at the NL West title. Expected to finish at or near the back of the pack, the Padres hold a one-half game lead over the Giants.
Ironically, the majority of players on the Padres' roster were either acquired by or drafted by Towers. The strength of the Padres has been their pitching as they are first in the major leagues in runs allowed with 3.60 per game. The backbone of the staff has been a strong bullpen.
Towers has always had a keen eye for pitching talent and been noted for building good relief corps. Not so ironically, finding relief help will be one of his first orders of business when the season is over, as the Diamondbacks are not only last in the majors in WXRL but their -4.5 mark is the fourth-worst since 1954, when Retrosheet records are first available.
"We definitely are going to need some help in the bullpen, especially with a couple of short guys to beef up the back end," Towers said.
Towers laughed when asked his secret to gaining the reputation as the baron of bullpen building.
"Having Trevor Hoffman as the closer for 12 years helped," Towers said, referring to the all-time saves leader. "You look at the scouting reports and then at a lot of different avenues of acquiring talent—starting pitchers who might be better suited to pitching out of the bullpen, international free agents, six-year minor league free agents, major league free agents, pitchers you can acquire in trades. I think there are some guys already in the bullpen who can stay here and help. However, there is no doubt we need to improve the bullpen and bench for next season."
Towers believes he won't have to tinker much with the starting lineup or rotation, saying he feels the nucleus of the team is in place. However, the Diamondbacks have already set the major-league record for strikeouts in a season and he would like to see the hitters improve in that area.
"Without having been around the club much, it's hard to say for certain why there have been so many strikeouts, though strikeouts do usually come as part of the package with power numbers," Tower said. "I don't want to see our guys cut down their swings to sacrifice a lot of power but there are ways you can reduce strikeouts, either by recognizing pitches better or staying within yourself more. It's something we're definitely going to have to talk about and try to find a solution to sometime between now and the start of spring training."
While spring training is a long way off, Towers does get a chance to at least familiarize himself with interim manager Kirk Gibson, considered a heavy favorite to retain the job, and the players during the season's final 10 days.
"It's going to be good to be around the team," Towers. "I want to see how they react after a win, a win and after a loss, and also how they react after they've given a game away. I think it's important to try to find out what makes the team tick before moving forward."
Anyone with an ounce of empathy in his soul has to feel for Jerry Manuel. It has become quite clear that the Mets will fire him as their manager at the end of the season, yet he faces each day with a smile while being left to twist in the wind.
Yet even the good-natured Manuel has started getting irked over what has been perceived as people campaigning for his job. First, Wally Backman, manager of the Mets' short-season Brooklyn farm club said he would have done a better job than Manuel this season. Dodgers manager Joe Torre, who is retiring at the end of the season, then told reporters Monday when he visited Yankee Stadium for the unveiling of a George Steinbrenner monument that he would be willing to listen if Mets owner Fred Wilpon called.
Torre backed away from those comments a day later, but Manuel was clearly hurt. Manuel served as a coach under Torre for the American League in the 1999 All-Star Game when Manuel was managing the White Sox and Torre was skipper of the Yankees.
"I find it also curious when someone comments about a job that someone already has," Manuel said. "I don't know Joe on a personal basis. But when things like that come out or are said … you question the integrity. That's what comes to my mind."
Torre apologized for his comments and Manuel accepted. Manuel also understands why his job would attract a number of high-profile candidates.
"Joe is an icon in New York," Manuel said. "That's to be expected. That's home, New York. It's the mecca of baseball. You can go many places, but after you have been in New York, and I'm sure for him, nothing satisfies him other than New York. I also can understand the desire to come back when you have been there. Once you bite the apple you're hungry for it. That's just the way it is. It's a place where once you get there and get feeling the passion and all that, you're hungry. There's no place like it, and I can see that people would want these types of positions in New York. There are a thousand people that would want this job. For him to say what he said only validates how special it is to have this opportunity."
Torre said he felt badly that he came across as politicking for a job that belonged to another manager. Speculation has been running rampant since Torre announced his retirement last Friday that he will be in someone else's dugout on Opening Day next season. However, he says that almost certainly will not be the case.
"I would doubt very seriously if there would be anything that would entice me to manage again," Torre said. "As I said a number of times, this is pretty good duty out here. This weather, this ballpark, the Dodgers being a storied franchise. I know there are a lot of questions about what's going on. But it's still a pretty darn good place to be. I don't anticipate any managerial offers or anything that would make sense for me to manage."
The Twins became the first to team to clinch a post-season berth when they nailed down the American League Central title on Tuesday night. That was quite a contrast from last season when the Twins had to beat the Tigers in a tiebreaker game two days after the regular season ended to win the division crown. The Twins then opened the ALDS against the Yankees the next night in New York and wound up getting swept in three games.
"It's a little different because we're not going to fly out (to New York) in about an hour an half," Twins first baseman Michael Cuddyer said after clinching.
"We can kind of relax and not worry about it all," left-hander Brian Duensing said. "It's a lot different than having to get on a plane knowing you're already going into October. It's a lot of fun, and it's exciting to do it this way."
The Twins became the first team to return to the playoffs after winning a one-game playoff the previous season. They also played in a 163rd game in 2008, losing to the White Sox.
"It's definitely a nice feeling to know we're in there, we've gotten it out of the way, and you can kind of set yourself up for the playoffs now," Cuddyer said.
The division title is the Twins' sixth in nine seasons after going 10 years without reaching the postseason. Cuddyer is the only player who has been on all six champions.
"I don't think you can get used to it," he said. "You don't get used to it. Pretty special."
The Rays are almost certainly headed to the postseason for the second time in three seasons. While the Rays trail the Yankees by a half-game in the AL East, they hold a seven-game lead over the Red Sox in the wild-card standings.
However, you might want to take a good look at the 2010 Rays' team picture because it will likely look a lot different next season, even if the Rays go on to win to their first World Series title. Principal owner Stuart Sternberg continues to reiterate that the team-record $72 million payroll will be reduced, possibly by a significant amount.
"No question," Sternberg said. "Nothing can change that. Unfortunately, there's nothing that can happen between now and April that can change that unless Joe Maddon hits the lottery and wants to donate it, or I hit the lottery."
It is generally thought that the Rays' payroll will be around $50 million next season as their attendance and overall revenues continue to lag. Thus, it seems certain they will not attempt to re-sign such free agents as closer Rafael Soriano, first baseman Carlos Pena, and left fielder Carl Crawford.
"We put everything in place to have it happen, to put us in a position so we'd be able to keep adding, keep signing, more long-term deals, stuff like that," Sternberg said. "It wasn't meant to be."
MLB Rumors & Rumblings: Former Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu and Nationals third base coach Pat Listach have been added to list of potential candidates to manage the Cubs. … There are many in the Blue Jays organization who believe they should stay in-house for their next manager and promote either third-base coach Brian Butterfield or bench coach Nick Leyva to replace the retiring Cito Gaston. … Towers would like to hire Greg Maddux as the Diamondbacks' pitching coach. … The Red Sox, contrary to speculation, plan to hang on to closer Jonathan Papelbon. … The Nationals are considering trading catcher Ivan Rodriguez, likely to the Marlins, to open the starting job for prospect Wilson Ramos. … If the Angels are successful in their bid to sign Crawford as a free agent, Bobby Abreu will move from left fielder to designated hitter next season.
Scouts' views on various players:
Blue Jays catcher John Buck: "It's going to be interesting to see what kind of contract he gets in free agency. He's had a good year but he still swings and misses an awful lot, which makes me think he's not going to repeat numbers like this again."
Diamondbacks outfielder Ryan Church: "It seems like everyone that gets out of Pittsburgh immediately becomes rejuvenated. He's back to his old self, providing good spot play off the bench and hitting right-handers. He's a good guy to have on the bench.
Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis: "I hope the Dodgers finally keep him in the major leagues. He's good enough to be a solid No. 2 catcher and he deserves the chance to stick on a roster all season."
Rockies right-hander Jason Hammel: "The Rays haven't made too many mistakes the last two years but they did when they let this kid get away. He's got some giddy-up on his fastball, his slider is becoming a wipeout pitch and he pounds the strike zone. He's really coming into his own."
Cubs catcher Koyie Hill: "It's too bad he can't hit worth a damn or else he'd be a starter. He's a good defensive catcher and takes charge of the game."
Mets right fielder Angel Pagan: "Frankly, I'm not sure what to make of him. In the first half of the season, I thought he'd shaken that fourth-outfielder label. Now, he's tailed off in the second half and I'm starting to wonder. He's got talent but I don't know if it plays over 162 games."
Mariners first baseman Justin Smoak: "The Mariners have taken heat for taking the deal with the Rangers for Smoak instead of the one with the Yankees for (Jesus) Montero when they traded Cliff Lee but I think the kid has a chance to be a Mark Grace-type first baseman. He might not hit 30 home runs but he'll hit a lot of balls hard into the gap for doubles. The big thing is he has to learn to handle breaking stuff."
Pirates left fielder Jose Tabata: "I thought he was another overrated Yankees' prospect but he's surprised me. He's done a really nice job since getting called up. He really hits off-speed pitches well for a young hitter and he has a good two-strike approach. I don't know if the power is going to develop but he could be a heckuva No. 2 hitter."

Yamaha Projector Sets New Bar For Video Excellence By Selecting Silicon Optix's HQV™
Yamaha Electronics Corporation has developed the first front projector that fully integrates the HQV™ processor powered by Teranex. The DPX-1300 (MSRP $12,495.95) will be available in October.
San Jose, CA -(Sept 9, 2005) -Yamaha Electronics Corporation has developed the first front projector that fully integrates the HQV™ processor powered by Teranex. The DPX -1300 (MSRP $12,495.95) will be available in October and can be seen during the CEDIA 2005 show at Yamaha's booth (#166) in the Indianapolis Convention Center and at the Silicon Optix 13,000 sq. ft. HQV exhibition in the Grand Hall at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Union Station.
"We chose the Realta HQV device because it was clear to us that the maturing and demanding home theater marketplace was looking for better video performance, especially as screen sizes increase and so many styles of video, both standard definition and high definition, are becoming available to the consumer," said Bart Greenberg, Yamaha Electronic Corporation National Sales Manager. "And it was also clear to us that Silicon Optix/Teranex had the video processing expertise to meet this growing demand."
The Realta HQV device encompasses true 10 -bit video processing, full four -field motion adaptive video de -interlacing for both standard definition and high definition signals, temporal -recursive noise reduction, automatic multi -cadence detection, and pixel -based detail enhancement. It also utilizes the same video processing power -1 trillion operations per second -as the famous $60k Teranex Xantus box. In addition to powerful video processing, the Realta device incorporates an advanced scaling engine that uses as many as 1024 taps to scale resolutions up and down, as well as for correcting extreme keystone angles in both horizontal and vertical dimensions.
"We are pleased to be working with a front projector company that cares about producing the highest quality picture imaginable," said Dennis Crespo, VP of Marketing, Silicon Optix. "Yamaha knows what high quality means and we're thrilled that HQV is a part of the new DPX -1300. Home theaters around the world are ready for a serious upgrade!"

The classic account of the Allied invasion of Normandy....
The Longest Day is Cornelius Ryan's unsurpassed account of D-day, a book that endures as a masterpiece of military history. In this compelling tale of courage and heroism, glory and tragedy, Ryan painstakingly re-creates the fateful hours that preceded and followed the massive invasion of Normandy to retell the story of an epic battle that would turn the tide against world fascism and free Europe from the grip of Nazi Germany.
This book, first published in 1959, is a must for anyone who loves history, as well as for anyone who wants to better understand how free nations prevailed at a time when darkness enshrouded the earth.
©1959 Cornelius Ryan; 1987 by Kathryn Morgan Ryan, Victoria Ryan Baida, and Geoffrey J. M. Ryan (P)2012 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"What I write about is not war but the courage of man." (Cornelius Ryan)
"Fifty years from now, the history of D-day, I am sure, will lean heavily on this book." (New York Times Book Review)
"A dramatic, moving masterpiece, a living memorial to the men who died, and as suspenseful as the most gripping mystery story." (Chicago Sunday Tribune)
"Seen the movie? Read the book: it is worth it"
Have you seen the movie? They make such a prominent statement in the opening credits that it is "based on the book by Cornelius Ryan" that I've always had a mind to read it.
After all, while the story is epic, the movie just "tries too hard" in parts. Isn't the breaching of Fortress Europe enough of a plot? No! Movie-goers also need a schmaltzy love story too. Surely the book can't be that contrived?
The good news is that it is not. It shares the "tell a story through a mosaic of slice-of-life vignettes" approach, yet does it with compelling integrity. It is gritty and unrelenting; sometimes poignant, but always authentic. The book's most rewarding and fascinating aspect is how it shows in rich detail the diverse impact of action and inaction, decision and indecision - and often just plain luck - in the final outcome of the day.
"Horrendous narration makes it impossible to listen"
A different narration.
Every sentence dragged on with the exact same rhythm. How can you make such
interesting material so impossible to bear????
This is one of the saddest disappointments I have ever experienced on Audible.
"a different take"
This book gives a different take on the d day landings. Using interviews and letter etc it tells the story from the thoughts and feelings of those involved. A very good listen.
"A long awaited story now being told"
All Americans need to understand the sacrifices made by our servicemen on 6 June 1944 as they stormed the beaches of Normandy. I have waited for many years to finally obtain an audio version of this book. A must for all students of History.
Cornelius Ryan weaving the story of Private Arthur B.
His very distinct accent added to the narration.
Came very close to tears when listening to what happened to our guys at Sainte Mere Eglise.
"OMG....kill me now....."
I could not get past Chapter 2.... The narrator was sooooo monotone and drove me to rip my earphones out.....
"Excellent book, unpleasant narration voice"
This is an exceptional written work. Unfortunately I found the narrator's voice to be so unpleasant that I was unable to listen to the entire book.
"Good Listen"
You will not find this to be the definitive story of D-day. There is a lot of story with regard to the preparation, the disinformation programs, espionage and counterespionage that is not covered. There is not one word about the simultaneous diversionary attacks at Pas de Calais or of Patton's imaginary First US Army Group. Nevertheless, it does provide a very personal narrative of the experiences of many of those who were involved in the invasion both on the side of the Allies as well as the Germans. It provides some well-documented insights into what each side did right and did wrong on that fateful day. Some reviewers have been very critical of the narrator. I did not find Mr. Chafer's English accent at all offputting and in fact felt that it was entirely appropriate since the invasion was launched from England and there were just as many British and Canadian troops involved as there were American. The only reason I did not give the performance a five star is because the narrative was somewhat monotone and lacking in emotion. Nevertheless, if you have an interest in World War II and in particular the Allied invasion at Normandy, you do not want to miss this book. I have read the print version as well and found the audio presentation every bit as good if not better.
"Great book, poor narrative"
We all know The Longest Day is a favorite of all war buffs. However, the voice of the narrator is monotonous and the last word of every sentence ends in the same weird voice inflection.
"Good Book, Performance So So"
Excellent book, but the reading leaves much to be desired. Droning, without much inflection. Very moving, all the same.
"Still a Classic"
There have been many books written about D Day, but this still remains a touchstone standard history. Well written and presenting a complete picture from both sides.
"Great author but......"
No. Great story but terrible narration.
Narration is robotic and after a ten minute listen will drive you crazy with irritation.
Great author. I listened to another title called 'The Last Battle' about the fall of Berlin and it was sensational. This title is of an interest to me but sadly I've stopped listening after one hour because of the terrible narration. Don't waste your money.
"You have to give it 5 stars..but"
Pleased I've got it
Band of Brothers
Kept me listening
We live in the heart of the D Day Landings, 4 miles from Carentan & Ste Mere Eglise...I've seen the movie loads of times, I know the history, individual battles and stories...it's always been a book I've meant to read...so audible releasing it is perfect as I listen to books as I iron the linens for our 4 vacation rentals here...oh boy do I wish you had got someone to read this with less of a Mr Bean sounding voice.
"Readable, scholarly, humane"
In the two generations that have passed since the end of the Second World War historians have acquired the distance and balance from those terrible events necessary to writing good history. Given the early date of "The Longest Day" it is an enormous credit to Cornelius Ryan that he has avoided both partisanship and triumphalism in his account.
His research has obviously been meticulous, but this never causes his prose to labour and he humanises the battle on both sides without trivialising it. Most of all this is an accurate historical account that lives up to the size of the subject - perhaps the most important single day in the twentieth century.
This is not scholarly history in the academic sense, but as a single volume treatment of a momentous battle The Longest Day is as good a book as it could possibly be. And it is an impressive compliment to Ryan's prose that it translates so well to the audiobook format in a reading that does the book full justice.
"Great story awful narration, returned"
I have read this book but had to return the audible copy as the narrator is so awful, he drones on, and makes a fantastic story sound like a shopping list. I could not bear to listen to him and returned book.
"One of history's most decisive events"
One of history's most decisive events. Well written and finely and sympathetically narrated. Almost too short
"finished too soon"
Great book, narrator a bit flat, but you get used to it. Was hoping it wouldn't end. Gripping stuff!

best wishes,
Nex picture of my Type VII is one of 21 ships, I producing hulls. This one is tug Braveheart.I am doing hulls as my hobby, if anybody want them, it is not problem. Braveheart is 90 cm-3 ft long. Big beauty, with two Schottel drive units. Excellent for Tug Towing competitions.
Hello all,
Its a long time ago that I have post here but I'm a lot further now so I try to catch up the gap
I thought that I was ready with the vent holes but the keel in the aft hull has them also
So I begin with that and I made the large opening in the hull to connect the keel in.
The aliment of the welding s and the keel where not the same so I need to adjust the place off the keel a bit.
And now nobody will see it any-more ..
The rudder and shafts .
I started with the aft dive plane support after I drill all the vent and flood holes in the resin keel.
The rudder support is made of 1mm brass and its from the factory hard soldered pre-mounted, how ever not done very accurate and also poor welding s to
So when I take a good look then I noticed that the screw bearing supports where not aliment proper, and when its hard soldered its a bit of a problem however the welding where poor so I was able to break the two supports off the screw bearing easily.
Here you see the dive rudder support with the bearings supports dismantled.
Here I'm holding one in place,
And now its much easier to line up the keel and rudder support with the dive rudders.
Here you have the prefabricated dive planes from the kit,
They are perfect.
Then I insert the resin keel into the aft hull and slide in the dive rudder and after that I put on the keel the dive plane and screw support,
Nothing is glued in this stage because the main shafts must be connected also, and because of that reason you must be able to twist or bend the support a bit.
However you need to glue the keel and the brass support on the keel to get a firm base to work from.
After the shafts are insert into the bearing s and all runs okay then you can glue the bearing supports in the hull and solder these in the bearings,
Here some photo's off the assemble complete but not glued and it looks nice already.
So the first thing to do now is get the aft bulkhead in the hull and connect the shafts to the main engines shafts to get the shaft bearings running smooth.
Will be continued,
WTC Tube inside the Hull
Hello all,
The aft Hull
Hello all,
Then I connect also the tube on the vent pipe inside the aft bulkhead because it will be hard to connect that one later on.
Now its time to sand the glue areas with grit 60 sandpaper and clean it with white spirit.
Then I connect the hulls together, have check them on straitness with the ruler,
Fix and secure the hulls with Tape (Duck-tape) so they don't move any more,
And glue it at 4 to 6 spots with 25 hour epoxy glue and let it cure, after curing you can set the complete hull on his nose and start gluing the rest, but I want to see it first if all went well after curing of the tack glue.
Note: here you can also see the vent tube as mentioned earlier,
After drying of the glue I noticed a problem, when I straighten the two hulls with each other, one side opened.
This side is beautiful,
But this side wend wrong
I have checked the hulls and they where okay, they looks really nice so I missed this completely that night...
But I glued the aft hull a bit (1mm) further than the aft bulkhead so I give myself a bit playing ground to correct this kind of mishaps. (I know myself)
So I took a piece of sandpaper and put it between the closed halves of the hulls and start twisting the aft hull against the sanding paper what I hold firmly still to the front hull.
And start sanding the high sides and look carefully if the hull is closing completely.
And it works,
It start to look a lot better,
And the "old" bad side,
Job done,
Will be back,
Fit Of Tail Section
Hi Jan,
The fit of the aft section of the hull appears to be going quite well for you. On mine, I have to deal with an aft section and main hull that do not match up in size, about 1+ mm difference in height.
I am currently building the conning tower details and I came across a part with the part number V 39.3. It is one of the railings for the conning tower. I can not find any reference in the build manual as to how to make this part. I think it might come pre built from Engel but I am not sure. Could you check your brass wire parts and see if you have a pre made V 39.3?
Thanks and keep up the great work,
The rudder and bearing support frame
First I slide the shaft covers over the shafts then I put the keel in his place in the aft hull and slide the rudder and bearing support frame over the shafts and start bending the frame till it slides nicely over the shafts and start gluing the complete set-up.
I hold the frame with a clamp at its place and let it cure for a night.
Here you see the shaft covers hanging on the shafts,
Bit a brute clamp but it works,
Then after the glue cures it was time to align the shafts with the bearings in the support frame,
I put on the screws and discover that they hit the Hull, so I need to bend the frame outwards to get the blades free from the hull.
After done that I connect the two motors inside the techrek,
And put 5 volt at one side at the time and start bending and turning the frame at such way I obtain the maximum rotations per minute with the lowest current,
After a wile I was able to let both shafts running with 5volts and 1.1 amp current at slow speed.
I measure 1.4 amp with 12 volts on both motors free spinning but it makes not many noise because it is a belt drive gear what's works very nice.
Here you can see the volts and current on my home build power supply.
I glued in the frames thats holds the shaft bearing's
First I glued the frames inside the aft hull and when it was cured it soft solder the brass strips into the shafts bearings holders.
And the solder job, it takes some time because I have not a very powerful solder iron but it works.
Need some grinding and sanding but its a steady base now.
Then normally when connecting a screw on a threaded shaft you use a lock nut to secure the screw (common practice in hobby land) but its a bit rude..
So I drilled a 2,5mm hole into the crews threaded it with M3 and uses RVS headless bolts to secure the crews.
Its nice and almost invisible.
Then I inserts the bearings for the aft rudders with CA glue, its was not hard to do because Engel did a beautiful job here, if you set the keel okay the rest will follow.
And when you inserts the rudders they are horizontal with the shafts.
The back dive rudders,
After done that I glued the two shaft coffers in place.

[QUOTE=Horseman;23955910]Hello all,
Its a long time ago that I have posted here...3 years isn't long around here. Does someone not make a PE deck to save you all that cutting?
Part V 39.3
Hi Jan,
I am posting a picture of the build manual with the part in question outlined.
Conning tower
Hi everybody,
The periscopes standards are great and only need to sand the joints caused by the making progress of the resin parts.
Then I encounter something funny, the part in the middle of the inside plating are very flexible, kind off jelly but resin like material,
This the part I mention,
And it can do this,
And also this,
I put the parts dry together to check if all are alright.
And it fits well at most points.
The SB side needs some real attention but for the most its fits really nice.
I'm intend to do the gluing with CA and 1 hour epoxy glue.
The flexible middle part will help a great deal to make the joint between the SB and BB inside plating easier.

Here are a few random facts for you about DREAMS . . .
1. The average American spends just over two hours a night dreaming. Over a lifetime, that adds up to about six-and-a-half YEARS.
2. The most common dream for men is sex . . . while the most common dream for women is being chased.
3. 83% of men have "finished" during sleep, and so have 37% of women.
4. 11% of us dream in black and white.
5. And 7% of people experience smells in their sleep . . . while 6% experience taste.

This new paper by FCRN member Elin Röös , the FCRN's Tara Garnett and colleagues explores the following questions: What would be the implications, for land use and greenhouse gas emissions, if our global population moved away from eating beef and other ruminant meats and switched mostly to chicken? What if we all went vegan? What if all our meat demand were met by artificial meat?
This paper in the Journal of Cleaner Production examines claims that buying 'local food' provides ecological, health and socio-economic benefits. A selection of 14 local and global food products in four sectors within four European countries. The paper finds that 'global foods' presented substantial advantages in terms of climate change mitigation and affordability to consumers.
This thematic issue of Science for Environment Policy presents recent peer-reviewed research examining the impact of AES on European farming, with a particular focus on biodiversity and associated ecosystem services. AES have been shown to benefit a range of animals and plants by increasing the number of individuals and species. However, as with all measurements involving complex ecosystems, the findings and causal links are nuanced, and sometimes difficult to isolate.
The authors of this paper compare the impact of intensification in the beef and dairy sectors via two pathways; either intensification within a system (eg, a mixed crop-livestock system) or through transitioning to another more productive system (from pasture to mixed crop-livestock production) and assesses the mitigation potential that could arise. The paper reviews the impacts of these forms of intensification on both GHG emissions, land occupation and land use change (LUC), the last of which has often been excluded in other similar analyses.
This new report offers a clear account of global pesticide use in agriculture and its impact on human rights; the negative consequences that pesticide practices have had on human health, the environment and society, which are underreported and monitored in the shadow of a prevailing and narrow focus on "food security", are described; and the environmental and human rights regimes are examined to determine whether the constituent rules are sufficient to protect farm workers, consumers and vulnerable groups, as well as the natural resources that are necessary to support sustainable
A study has evaluated three types of media campaign conducted by a large UK supermarket to encourage shoppers to reduce their food waste. These used social media, an e-newsletter and a print/digital magazine, respectively. Although they all appeared to lead to reductions in food waste to some extent, similar behavioural changes were also seen for customers who had not participated in any of the campaigns.
A new paper published in Agricultural Systems examines system losses quantified from primary production to human food requirements. The study finds that 44% of harvested crops dry matter was lost prior to human consumption. The highest loss rate was in livestock production, but the largest losses were before harvest. Over-eating is also at least as large a contributor to food system losses as consumer waste.
The Global Food Security (GFS) programme has published a new report providing evidence for the existence of environmental tipping points and exploring potential consequences for global food security.
Key points include:
This WRAP report provides estimates for total and avoidable household food waste (HHFW) for 2014 and 2015, for the UK. The changes compared to 2012 and previous estimates are discussed in the context of factors influencing food waste and the Courtauld Commitment 3 target for household food waste prevention. Key points are that the estimated amount of HHFW in the UK for 2015 was 7.3 million tonnes, and that overall there has been no statistically significant change in the estimated levels of HHFW between 2012 and 2015.
Researchers have assessed how changes in production efficiency and dietary patterns can combine to ensure food supply whilst minimising the global environmental impact of food production. The gain in the production efficiency of agriculture was found to be insufficient to meet future food demand whilst preventing additional environmental burdens, if dietary trends continue to grow based on GDP.

Din's Curse - Monster Profiles, Interview
by Dhruin, 2010-01-28 19:52:47
Soldak has kicked up profiles for the Creeping Brood, Shadow and Naga from Din's Curse.
There's also an interview over at Werit's blog, focused on the development side:
Werit: How many Soldak people work on the game? Do you contract out any parts of the game or is it all done in house?
Steven: I'm the only fulltime Soldak employee and I do all of the programming and design. I should mention that a ton of great ideas comes from the rest of the team and from our gamers though. My wife (Delilah) is involved quite a bit doing the writing and lots of play testing. The rest of our team are contractors who handle the sound, music, and art. In house or contractors though, I couldn't make our games without them.
