Brian Reynolds, director of fuel solutions, The Pinnacle CorporationThe fuel business is a lot like farming in that it is very seasonal. During winter, marketers are conditioned to live off less volume and smaller margins. The sun brightens, grass gets greener and sales begin to increase – and hopefully so do margins. Summer arrives, days get longer and the driving season begins. Sales go up and margins move around. School starts and sales go down. Thanksgiving comes, sales go up and margins bounce up in preparation for the New Year. That's why we love the fuel business – it's so predictable. But lately, the natural order of things keeps changing, and we must make hay while the sun shines.Times have been good for the fuel business for the past year or so. The recent unpredictable nature of the business has caused more fuel margins than normal. But don't go out and buy that new Citation X just yet.This may come as a shock to the un-initiated but the world's largest and most prolific industry, the petroleum industry, has historically been a technologically-deprived industry. Innovations that are commonplace in other industries haven't quite made it to petroleum operations.Refiners have been steadily reducing their services for several years. They sell every drop they make at a profit. If it's not broke, don't fix it. And, don't go looking for refiners to make sweeping changes.Yet, there are many innovations that prudent petroleum operators should invest in during these unprecedented times of profitability that will ensure continued future profits. One area of innovation is in petroleum software. A common problem within petroleum marketing operations is with invoicing reconciliation. Historically, there has been a running battle between accounting, dispatching, and refiner invoices. Everything must match in order to perform accurate billing, unless one would like to spend his day doing credit and re-bills. Automating can minimize mistakes, reduce the workload and accelerate the process. A common task that previously took many hours to accomplish can now be done in mistake-free moments. Automated systems will identify discrepancies which allow operators to see errors and make corrections immediately.Another innovative process for wholesalers is bidding. For jobbers who bid loads of fuel on a daily basis, a technology exists that customizes delivered price bids by processing refiner rack prices, and adding in margin, freight, and all taxes and fees. It literally blasts out hundreds of bids to prospective customers and has it in their hands 15 minutes later. This process used to take hours each evening to perform.As more jobbers are forced to scour the country side looking for product, the need has arisen to have many suppliers. Multiple suppliers necessitate multiple racks and multiple prices coming in each day. This, in turn, can lead to hundreds of rack prices to sort through. Automated systems can put together buying scenarios in seconds that, previously, would have taken hours to do.The Internet is another area that promises to provide time and money saving techniques. Web-enabling inventory tank monitor information and carrier bill of lading information hold the greatest promise. Portable hand-held devices have all come down in price to the point that truck drivers will soon be using them to provide instant information.Technology becomes more affordable every year. Server prices have decreased while processing speeds and memories have increased. Systems are far more robust and scaleable than in the past and have a life-expectancy of at least seven years instead of depreciating upon installation. Software choices should be made by how responsive providers are to their customers' needs and how frequent new releases and upgrades are made available.The fuel business is indeed a lot like farming – it is dependent on seasons and cycles. With this in mind, we should take advantage of favorable circumstances because they may not last. With winter approaching, we can choose to eat the seeds we have now and have a couple of good meals, or we can sow our seeds and come back and have a bountiful harvest next year.Brian Reynolds is the director of fuel solutions at The Pinnacle Corporation.

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Blue Jays outfielder Corey Patterson felt a sense of relief when he woke up Saturday morning with no major effects from getting hit in the head the night before in Fort Myers, Fla.
Patterson was beaned in the back of his helmet by a high-90s fastball from Red Sox right-hander Daniel Bard. Patterson dropped to the ground immediately after being hit and remained there for several minutes.
There was an initial concern that he may have suffered a concussion, but a CT scan didn't reveal any damage.
"I seem to be doing OK," Patterson said. "I got checked out at the hospital last night and the doctor said everything looked fine. There weren't any concussion symptoms, but it doesn't mean that it can't evolve into that. Just have to keep an eye on it and make sure I'm in regular contact with our trainers.
"But I was definitely happy I was able to get up and at least walk off the field."

He felt "a little out of it" Saturday morning but did not have a headache. The fact that he was able to leave the field under his own power also was an encouraging sign.
"I thought I was going to pass out or black out at any point in time," Patterson said. "I was waiting for that to happen, but I was able to stay coherent. Our trainer came out and I was able to respond and give him the appropriate answers.
"So that was good, but in the back of my mind I was wondering how I would feel the next day. I surprisingly feel OK under the circumstances, so we're just going to monitor it as a day-to-day thing."
Bard appeared visibly concerned following the at-bat. He momentarily put his hands on his head and monitored Patterson's condition from the mound. When Toronto's center fielder got off the ground, Bard applauded along with the fans.
There was no doubt in Patterson's mind that the pitch was completely accidental. The two even chatted on the phone about it shortly after the game.
"It definitely wasn't on purpose," said Patterson, who hit .269 with nine home runs and 32 RBIs last season. "Daniel called to check in on me. He said he wanted to check and see how I was doing and said hopefully it wouldn't delay any start to my season.
"He said it wasn't on purpose, and I obviously knew that. I've been playing long enough now to know when guys get hit on purpose. I hear he's a good person, nothing bad about him, it's just part of the game, unfortunately."
The scary incident reopened a debate Saturday morning about whether players should be forced to wear Rawlings S100 helmets. It's a bulkier helmet which is designed to withstand pitches of up to 100 mph. The current gear being used by most Major Leaguers reportedly only offers protection up to 70 mph.
Twins first baseman Justin Morneau is making the switch this year after missing the second half of last season with post-concussion syndrome. He has been vocal in asking other players to make the same decision.
Blue Jays manager John Farrell isn't sure that is a necessary step and feels like most head injuries occur when sliding into second base to break up a double play -- the same scenario in which Morneau was injured last year.
"I know that the helmets everybody wears right now are comfortable," Farrell said. "They're lighter and they [give] the right amount of protection. There are going to be individual cases where someone does suffer a concussion, particularly sliding into second base. That's where we see the most lingering effects, where you get a knee to the head and have the sustained post-concussion symptoms.
"But I think that the helmets that are currently worn provide enough protection."
Patterson signed a Minor League contract with an invite to Spring Training during the offseason. The native of Atlanta, Ga., was expected to break camp with the Blue Jays as a backup outfielder.
Farrell believes that will still be the case, and in an ideal scenario, Patterson would return to the field Monday. For now, Toronto's manager didn't want to talk about potential replacement candidates.
"Everything points to the fact that Corey is going to be good to go," Farrell said. "If we get into a situation where he is unavailable, there would be further internal conversation. But we haven't talked about the fact that he couldn't go. Fortunately, last night didn't turn out worse than it did."

Nationals 'miserable' on, off field
Sources said Kasten has become increasingly frustrated, and some suggested he could step down as president, though most said his departure was unlikely.
Kasten, however, insists he has a "great personal relationship with the entire Lerner family" and said everyone in the franchise is working hard to rebuild the team.
"We're all moving forward, and I am committed to making this work," he said. "We're here, we're all doing the things we need to do. We've made great progress in some ways and have had disappointment in others. But that's all part of the building process. We're all aware of it, and we're all charging forward."
Mark Lerner, the most visible member of the family, declined to be interviewed for this article. Through a team spokesman, the Lerners released the following statement:
"The Washington Nationals ownership group - including Stan Kasten - is proud of its management, team and employees. We have asked much of them in their first 26 months and they have performed, including opening a new ballpark, building a young and improving Major League roster while growing one of the best Minor League systems in baseball, and beginning to brand the 'National Pastime in the Nation's Capital' after its absence from Washington DC for more than 30 years. Working closely together we intend to catch our breath after setting an exhilarating, but exhausting, pace for the last two years, and will continue to develop a team on the field and off that get the Nationals closer to being the kind of contender that our hometown deserves."
The road to 100 losses
Upon talking control of the organization in the summer of 2006, the Lerner family and Kasten made it clear there would be no shortcuts toward on-field success. The Nationals needed to be rebuilt from the bottom up, with scouting and player development taking priority over attempts to win on the major league level.
But when a Washington team that was widely expected to be baseball's worst in 2007 surprised skeptics by finishing 73-89 and playing .500 ball from mid-May through September, the organization's timetable perhaps was sped up a bit.
General manager Jim Bowden made several roster moves last winter designed to help the club win more games in the short term, signing veteran free agents Paul Lo Duca, Aaron Boone, Rob Mackowiak, Johnny Estrada, Willie Harris and Odalis Perez to one-year contracts totaling $10.4 million. Bowden also re-signed veterans Dmitri Young, Ronnie Belliard and Wily Mo Pena to multiyear extensions in July 2007, committing another $17.5 million to those three players through 2009.
Combined with the acquisitions of promising young players like Lastings Milledge and Elijah Dukes, the Nationals entered 2008 believing they could reach the .500 mark.
"On paper and talent-wise, this team out of spring training was better than the team we had here last year," manager Manny Acta said.
But after opening the season in grand fashion with Zimmerman's walk-off homer highlighting Opening Night at Nationals Park, Washington quickly fell to the bottom of the National League East standings and has remained there since.
The supposedly improved lineup lost Zimmerman, Johnson and Austin Kearns (among others) to injuries for prolonged stretches, leaving behind the majors' least-productive offense.
The team's biggest strength since it arrived in town, its bullpen, crumbled after Cordero hurt his shoulder on Opening Night. Luis Ayala endured a miserable year before getting dealt to the New York Mets, and Jon Rauch was traded to Arizona.
And of those veterans signed by Bowden during the winter, only Harris, Boone, Perez and Belliard made significant contributions to this year's team. Lo Duca, Mackowiak and Estrada were released in midseason; Young and Pena were saddled by injuries.

Something different on the way...some rain. It's from a storm that is weakening as it arrives but this storm can (and will) produce showers in New England. The morning hours will feature clouds, fog and some sun with just a slight chance of a shower then as we turn the page into the afternoon the chance of rain will begin to rise dramatically. As we roll into the evening, showers will be widespread (including Fenway Park) and perhaps even a few rumbles of thunder. Most towns will pick up between .25"-.50" of beneficial rainfall.
Thursday will have this same storm with us but still weakening. That means a lot of clouds and by early afternoon some scattered showers and even a few t-storms will pop across the region. We are into late spring mode so hold onto that *scattered* word....some of you get tagged and others stay dry. Humid with temps in the 60s. Dry & warmer weather expected for #FinallyFriday.

Not a bad day overall huh? Seasonable temps, some sunshine and temperatures close to the average. However, the quiet weather won't last as rain, snow and even some ice head our way in the 7day forecast.

Love that tune and it's todays screaming message from the weather office. Sharing.....my college professor always said to look for the screaming message within the weather maps and he's right as our pattern will get busy the next several days so if you can take some time today (in this ever-busy holiday season) enjoy the silence.

Ocean storm offshore yanked the clouds away this afternoon. While our neighbors in Nova Scoti, New Brunswick and Cape Breton Island battled the wind and rain, we were basking in sun and temperatures close to 50.
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
You never want to root for a storm ---unless of course it's a snowstorm on Christmas Eve ;o) --- but I am today (and it's not a snowstorm). This storm out over the water will scoot up into Nova Scotia today and as it's leaving it will grab some of our clouds and get us some much needed sunshine by afternoon. This sunshine will boost temps into the mid 40s--normal for this time of year. Tomorrow will offer up even more sunshine making it the pick of the week.

The 2005 Copperstate Regional EAA Fly-In occurred for the first time ever at Casa Grande Municipal Airport, Arizona, in its 33rd annual event October 6-9. Organizers and attendees settled into the new facility, which features a large, air-conditioned exhibit hall, large, clean camping area, a new shower facility, and is ideally situated midway between Phoenix and Tucson just a few miles west of Interstate 10.
The new location is much closer to essential facilities like hotels and restaurants than past venues. Saturday and Sunday events were somewhat hampered by windy weather, but spirits were not dampened based on the many positive comments of pilots and attendees. Planes and people came from all over the region and beyond, with the furthest confirmed from Southern Florida.
EAA headquarters' presence was seen throughout the grounds, including the EAA Member Village welcoming friends old and new. EAA's Ron Wagner conducted four well-attended and well-received sport pilot/light-sport aircraft forums-one each day. On Friday night Wagner and Lesley Barkham of the EAA Membership Department hosted a chapter leaders get-together on Friday that featured an appearance by Mary Senft, a charter member of the EAA Homebuilt Aircraft Council. She also recently led the formation of EAA Chapter 1406 in San Manuel, AZ.
Wagner praised the new location for its visitor convenience. "We certainly viewed it as an improvement with the new indoor exhibit facility and the close proximity to the city of Casa Grande," Wagner said. "The plans they have for site improvement in coming years will make it even better."
Aircraft awards were announced at the awards banquet held Saturday evening at the Holiday Inn Casa Grande. Cory Bird's Symmetry, which won EAA AirVenture 2004Grand Champion, was Copperstate's Grand Champion this year. Reserve Grand Champion is Neal Obert for his Lionheart N110N. Complete judging results can be found on the Copperstate website.
Mark down October 12-15, 2006, dates for next year's fly-in.

Creation Hymn
December 23, 2002
There was neither non-existence nor existence then; there was neither the realm of space nor the sky which is beyond. What stirred? Where? In whose protection? Was there water bottomlessly deep? There was neither death nor immortality then. There was no distinguishing sign of night nor of a day. That one breathed, windless, by its own impulse. Other than that there was nothing beyond. Darkness was hidden by darkness in the beginning;...
Impulsive adolescents take to boozing early
August 1, 2013
Young people, who are impulsive, are more likely to start drinking heavily at an early age, scientists have suggested. Researchers at the University of Liverpool suggested that targeting personality traits, like impulsivity, could potentially be a successful intervention in preventing adolescent drinking from developing into problems with alcohol in later life. Studies in the UK show that approximately 24 per cent of 12 year olds have reported at least one episode of alcohol...
Hunger pangs make you moody, impulsive
July 27, 2013
New research reveals that hunger not only affects decision making, but also affects our willingness to take risks. This phenomenon is also apparent across a very diverse range of species in the animal kingdom. Experiments conducted on the fruit fly, Drosophila, by scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried have shown that hunger not only modifies behaviour, but also changes pathways in the brain. This projection neuron forwards carbon dioxide information...
'Suicidal impulse result of helplessness'
June 6, 2013
LUDHIANA: After being dumped by her boy friend, 18-year-old Sonika (name changed), a sensitive girl of Model Town, was so shattered that she thought of ending her life. But knowing that her daughter had broken up with her boyfriend, she immediately rushed her to a psychiatrist at a city hospital after the latter started uttering suicidal words. Says Dr Anshu Gupta, visiting consultant at SPS Apollo Hospital: "Suicide is an impulse caused due to helplessness. Suicidal feelings erupt when the...
?Alcohol-induced crimes on the rise in Visakhapatnam
April 17, 2013
Venkatesh Bayya , TNN
VISAKHAPATNAM: Recently, Visakhapatnam was shaken up by a couple of gruesome murders - one in which a tribal woman was allegedly raped by her inebriated brother-in-law and his friends near Araku and the other of a young man who was brutally murdered on Beach Road by his friend after a boozing session. Though premeditated, the common factor running through both these crimes was that both were committed by persons under the influence of alcohol. According to the city police,...

LONDON: Brain scans of convicted felons can predict which ones are most likely to get arrested after getting out of prison, a new study has found. "It's the first time brain scans have been used to predict recidivism," said neuroscientist Kent Kiehl of the Mind Research Network in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who led the new study. The group used 96 male offenders to come to their findings. According to him, brain scans or other neuro markers...

The condition is characterized by persistent and uncontrollable anger attacks. The new study from Harvard Medical School in the US was based on a survey of 10,148...
Store denies Paris Hilton a puppy
June 19, 2008
Paris Hilton has all the money in the world, but it was not enough to buy her a puppy she laid her eyes on. While going to a photo shoot, the socialite dropped into the Puppy Store on Melrose Avenue in LA after deciding that she "wanted a puppy in the picture with her so it would look cuter. " However, a store employee refused to sell a Yorkie pup, feeling that it was clearly "an impulse buy. " This, according to a source, was enough to make the 27-year-old celebutante...

On the north side of Plaza Francisco Mariano Quiñones, this two-story home was built in 1871 for Tomás Agrait. (If you look closely, you can still see his initials in the wrought-iron decorations.) For many years it served as a center of cultural activities in San Germán. Today it holds several shops.

Malay Satay Hut restaurant workers get $660K in back pay
The U. S. Department of Labor said it's reached a back wages settlement with the owners of the Malay Satay Hut Malaysian restaurants in Seattle and Redmond for $660,000.
Last July, the department filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleging that restaurants didn't pay the required time-and-a-half overtime pay to about 85 workers between June 2003 and May 2006.
Some workers were paid less than the minimum wage, according to the department.
"These vulnerable, low-wage workers are finally going to receive the wages they have earned,†said Donna Hart, director of the department's wage and hour division, Seattle district office, in a statement.

I wouldn't bet the farm on EOM being taken out anytime soon. They made themselves the target of locals and environmentalists (just search them on the columbian google site in spanish) and the government is going to continue making things difficult for them to appease those opposed - its all politics.
GWY almost got hitched with EOM in the summer and after we moved on they aquired CVZ. EOM obviously needs to add more gravity to their business case and thats why they did this (if their 10+mil oz are so great why did they need CVZs few oz). JMHO but I don't think Eike is going touch EOM anytime soon - it would redirect the hatred for EOM to his California project and change the local politics. EOM has to sort out their issues first, which may take some time.

Two tries from Ben Foden have helped Northampton Saints to a 32-15 win over a struggling London Wasps at Franklin's Gardens.
The visitors took an 11th-minute lead when Nick Robinson kicked between the posts with a penalty.
Ryan Lamb had a chance to draw his side level just a minute later, but he could only direct his kick wide of the goal.
Robinson also missed a penalty to further Wasps' advantage before Foden touched down in the 17th minute as Lamb kicked the extras to make the score 7-3.
Two more Robinson penalties gave Wasps a deserved 9-7 lead, but James Downey's try put the Saints back in front as Lamb missed with the conversion.
It mattered little as Lamb kicked over another penalty, which was followed by Foden's second try of the match thanks to a dynamic run from Chris Ashton. Lamb again kicked the extras to put Northampton 22-9 in front at half time.
A fourth penalty of the evening from Robinson just about kept Wasps in the match, but another kick from Lamb restored the Saints' 13-point lead.
Robinson launched a kick through the posts on the hour to bring his side to within 10 points of their opponents, but Northampton increased the pressure as they looked for a bonus point to help their playoff aspirations.
They were rewarded with five minutes to play as Martin Roberts went over before Stephen Myler completed the simple conversion.
Result: Northampton Saints 32-15 London Wasps

Dilemma for Bank of England as public fears even higher inflation
Related Articles
Published: 08 June 2012
The Bank of England's dilemma over whether to stimulate the recession-hit UK economy was sharpened further today by a survey showing that the public's inflation expectations have risen in recent months, despite falls in the headline rate.
The Bank's quarterly inflation attitudes survey indicated that people think inflation in five years' time will be 3.6%, up from the 3.2% expected in February, and the highest reading since the survey began two years ago. Near-term public expectations of inflation also rose, with an average estimate of price rises over the next 12 months of 3.7%, up from 3.5% in February.
The survey will feed into concerns that high inflation expectations are becoming embedded, which could lead to demands for higher wages. It will also strengthen the hand of those members of the Bank of England's rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee who believe that the Bank should resist calls for more money printing to drag the economy out of its double-dip recession because of the impact of stimulus on prices.
However, Howard Archer of IHS Global Insight, pointed out that the latest survey was done in May, when there was a spike in petrol prices, which could have distorted public perceptions.
He said: "We suspect that if oil prices stay down near current levels, there will be an appreciable falling back in inflation expectations in the next surveys".
This week, the MPC voted to keep its £325 billion quantitative easing programme on hold, despite calls from the International Monetary Fund for the Bank to enact more monetary stimulus to support the economy.
The Consumer Price Inflation index presently stands at 3%, after dropping sharply from 3.5% in March.
That fall was welcomed by the Chancellor, George Osborne, who said that it would ease the strain on household budgets.
But the rate remains well above the Bank's official 2% target. At last month's quarterly inflation report the Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Mervyn King, said inflation was unlikely to fall to the target until 2013.
In a further blow to the Bank, the number of people who are satisfied with its performance in controlling inflation fell. The net satisfaction rate was 11%, down from 20% in February — the lowest rate since a survey in November last year.
There was some better news on inflation from the Office for National Statistics, which showed a slowdown in producer price rises, which should feed through to lower consumer prices.
The output price index for manufacturing rose 2.8% in the year to May, down from 3.2% in the year to April.

See an article at: www.biblehistory.net on Quirinius. You did quote Wikipedia quite correctly, except for the misprint of B.C. instead of A.D. As you see it is quite easy to make an error.

Maybe they will quit Memphis and move to another city. Then I can watch them anytime I please, and at another city/county's expense.

Japan's 5-foot-2 Kano steered jujitsu toward judo in the 1880s. View Enlarged Image
After getting beaten up, Jigoro Kano decided to defend himself.
His weapon? The old Japanese martial art of jujitsu.
It wasn't easy finding an instructor. But he stayed focused to not only find a teacher, but even develop judo — a new martial art that let a smaller person whip a larger one.
The martial art caught on and is now practiced by some 25 million worldwide, according to USA Judo. It was the first martial art to become an official Olympic event, in 1964. Judo is now one of two martial arts in the Olympics; the other is tae kwon do.
"I believe Jigoro Kano's greatest contribution to martial arts is that he made the ... killing arts into sports that can be practiced and enjoyed by most people, regardless of gender or age," Kenji Osugi, the head instructor at Sawtelle Judo in Los Angeles, told IBD. "Until Kano came along, no one had figured out how to safely apply their deadly techniques without their students getting injured."
Global Hit
Kano (1860-1938) introduced judo to the world, plus produced a ranking system for martial arts.
"As with all great people, he was a hard worker, had a great thirst for knowledge, loved to travel and see beyond the obvious," Osugi said. "He knew communication was the key to achieving his vision. He became fluent in English and German, the two most important languages at that time, so he could freely travel around the world."
Kano faced many obstacles on his way to success, but he knocked each down, one by one.
In Japan in the late 1800s, getting trained in jujitsu wasn't easy.
The discipline was viewed by many as an outdated relic from the long-gone days of the samurai.
Many jujitsu masters had hung up their black belts and moved into new careers. Yet Kano was undeterred. With a bit of research, he learned that many masters had become bone doctors, a natural second act, given their knowledge of the body's structure.
Walking the streets while a student at Tokyo Imperial University in 1877, he looked for osteopaths' signs and asked if the business owners were trained in jujitsu.
The answers were no. But Kano kept knocking until he found what he sought: a referral for a jujitsu master. From him, Kano began learning the nearly lost martial art.
While Kano's specific search was over, his quest was just beginning.

Kardashian sisters sued over Khroma Beauty
Jan 12, 2013, 15:01 GMT
The Kardashian sisters are being sued for $10 million.
Reality TV stars Kim, Kourtney and Khloe could face a mammoth legal bill following make-up artist Lee Tillett's claim they stole the name of their new cosmetics range, Khroma Beauty, from her.
Lee is also asking for damages from Boldface Group Inc, the company that markets their line, after a cease and desist letter sent last July imploring them to stop using the name failed to work.
She told the Orlando Sentinel: 'I developed the Kroma line myself, built my business through my own hard work, and took the legal steps necessary to protect it.
'And yet I have now been forced into legal battle with the Kardashians simply because they have decided to take something that doesn't belong to them.'
Boldface petitioned a Florida court to rule Lee's brand name 'conceptually weak', because it 'consists solely of a descriptive term and lacks any inherent distinctive meaning to the relevant consuming public.'
The make-up artist - who set up her line in 2004 - responded by claiming the confusion over the names is affecting her business as customers assume it is connected with the infamous sisters' recently-launched products.
She said: 'The false association is damaging ... and threatens to destroy its business.'
Meanwhile, Lee's attorney Elliot Gipson claims Kim - who says she came up with the name herself - was aware via her placement agents TLK Fusion of a 2010 deal to ensure product placement for Kroma on an E! Entertainment show Kim was due to produce.
He said: 'On or about May 2010, representatives for Tillett and TLK Fusion were engaged in discussions regarding the possible product placement of the KROMA cosmetics line on the television reality show special 'The SPINdustry' that was scheduled to air on E! Entertainment Television following an episode of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'.'
The Armenian beauties are also currently entangled in a lawsuit with Los Angeles-based Chroma Makeup Studio.

Did You Know Abortion Is the Leading Cause of Death Of African-Americans, Including Of Course the Pre-Born Among Them?
The Minnesota-based Human Life Alliance has launched a campaign to "shatter the silence of (the) great tragedy" that is abortion among black women (though they've apparently never thought to explore why so many young black women get pregnant in the first place.) Their pro-life literature, "dedicated to protecting human life from the moment of conception until natural death," offers articles like "Our Heritage is on the Verge of Extinction" and "We Shall Overcome. Abortion."
Still, some women on college campuses have had the chutzpah to question their accuracy. So has Stephen Colbert, who in his Truthiness On Abortion entry in Wikiality - titled Abortion Makes the Baby Jesus Sad - argues that men who masturbate are committing abortion, thanks God that war never causes abortions, shows how to send someone you hope will burn in hell an e-card after her abortion, and offers helpful hints to identify baby-killers - for example, people who decline to call themselves "Conceived-Again Christians." The best part: his Abortion Poetry.
Abortion Poetry
First they came for the stem cells, but I am a liberal, so I don't care.
Then they came for the fetuses, but I was saving the whales, so I didn't care.
And when they came for the soldiers, there weren't any because the liberals made them all gay.
Why do liberals hate America?

Here is another artist concept... It's what I used for the belly control box design.
Here is a working sketch of the breast plate. It's a slightly expanded view due to the curve of the body and will look a bit skinnier when it's finished, but I wanted to have something to go on when I put the clay to the plaster armature.
I had these machined from PVC and aluminum...
The belly box needed to be done before the chest armor was sculpted, as I will press it into the clay on the model so it leaves a slight depression in the final casting, making it easier to attach.
The edge strips need to be done before the arm bracers, as I will use them to thermo-form the sintra bracers.
The bandoleer buckle needs to be sent to my leather crafter so she can attach the straps correctly. It is a tad smaller than it should be, to scale the bandoleer to my shorter torso.
I made handequins from plaster bandages... that I sculpted the handguard armor on top of. I also made a tin mandrel to form the sintra bracers around. I did this type of thing with the bottom part of the Kyle Katarn Bryar pistol. I dipped the plastic sheet in hot water, then quickly wrapped it around this mandrel to get the final shape.
~ Koda
I made an "armequin" and started on the handguards. These were still rough sculpts but they showed the basic idea. In the only canon screenshots the handplates looked relatively thin compared to what the shoulder and chest plates looked like, so I crafted them accordingly. This was also mostly practice for me since it was my first time working with clay.
The pencil line on the armequin was drawn perfectly vertical while I wore it, and along the virtual centerline of the arm from front to back. The plan was to sculpt the shoulder bell symmetrical along that line, so I didn't have to mess with separate left and right. I could cast one, sand it down and take a mold of it, then cast the other from the first one.

These are the parts from the machinist. From right to left, here's the rough cut bandoleer buckle (bottom view), belly box, and closure assemblies for the bracers (bottom view).
~ Koda
Version 2 of the belt...
Love how the weathering came out! :mrgreen:
...and a rough bracer...
I still have to smooth the edges, fill that small gap, line it with neoprene, sand-paint-n-weather it... oh and build the other one too.
Wanted to show how the closure works. I'm quite proud of that design. :mrgreen:
~ Koda
These photos are, among other things:
- Incentive to lose that belly-roll
- A revelation that my body lacks symmetry
- A study in 3-Dimensional curves and intersecting planes
~ Koda
This shows the rough extents of the shoulder bells. I cut templates out of poster board so I could get the curved edges and cross-sections just right.
~ Koda
Here are some more shoulder armor progress pix:
I smoothed down the surface and added mold walls around the edges. Those defined the 1/2" thickness of the finished pieces.

Back to he handguards.
I cut out the right side and shaped and smoothed both. Then I hot-glued cardboard walls around the clay and covered both assemblies in clear gloss spray paint. I mixed up some plaster and poured it into the little cardboard "bowls."
Out came the handguard molds!
~ Koda
Took casts of the handguards, I mixed up gray colored gelcoat (3wht/1blk) and laid it onto the molds, then practiced layering in fiberglass. Put in 4 layers and finished them off with another layer of gelcoat. The surface got a lot of brushmarks in it. I think I used too much sealer or mold release or something. I'm sure I can sand down the brushmarks.
I also cast the hard model of the shoulder piece. I made my own gelcoat for this one (1bondo/1resin) and did not use a brush to spread it into the mold. I just poured it in the "bowl" and kept rotating it all around 'til the gel started to set up. This left only a VERY thin coating around the edge undercuts, so I mixed another batch and made it thicker (2bondo/1resin). This coat I brushed in and after it started to thicken I pushed more into the undercuts. I layered in the fiberglass (3-4 layers) and finished off the undercuts with a VERY thick paste (4bondo/1resin). I want to let it harden overnight before I crack it out of the mold.
I'm building up the inside with clay and have sanded the outside smooth. I will make a two-piece shell mold from that. I'm going to make the final shoulders out of poured feather-weight plastic.
You can see the fiberglass layers in the photos.
~ Vonnor
Here's the hard model for the shoulder bell...
I still have to shape the curvature better and smooth out the surface some more, but it turned out decent and workable. I will fill in the back side with clay to about half inch thick overall, then make a two part mold to cast the final pieces.
Lessons learned:
- You can see in the pix there are a couple dozen low spots, 5-6 of which were from pockets of un-cured resin. I know what I did wrong there, I mixed the bondo hardener and the resin catalyst in the same cup that I mixed the bondo and resin in for the gelcoat, then poured the whole mess into the mold. I should have poured the homemade gelcoat into another cup before adding the hardener. There was some unmixed resin on the sides of the cup that got into the mold as I poured.
- I should have left the plastic harden overnight before breaking it out of the mold. When I did the handguards they shrunk a tiny bit as they cured, and popped right out of the mold with no problems. I only waited like three hours. When I demolded it there was a boatload of plaster totally stuck to the model. Also, just from jockying it around to try and break it free, I put several cracks in the bondo edges. Luckily, the plaster was pretty easy to scrape off and the cracks I can fill with epoxy.
I'm sorely tempted to leave the low spots in the model. With a little creative weathering they could be blaster dings.

These are from last weekend.
See ya's next weekend.

i love how the right hand plate finish came out, can you explain how you made it?
looks good so far. Can't wait to see how the rest turns out. I really dig the look of this guy. Should be something fun to see fleshed out.
looks great i cant wait to see the end result of this costume..
The braidwork on the sabre is an especially nice touch.
