During SMM exhibition 2012 last week in Hamburg, great interest was shown to the Zero emission ferry built by STX Lorient, member of BPN
"Zero emission ferry "
12 Sep 2012- The Motorship.com
A new ferry nearing completion at the French shipyard of STX France Lorient will have a pioneering new type of electric propulsion, writes Dag Pike.
This all-electric vessel will use super capacitors to store the electrical energy in place of the normal battery systems with a considerable saving in weight and cost.
This new ferry is designed to operate on a short route of just a couple of miles across the river at Lorient. Its innovative electrical propulsion system has been carried out under a research programme initiated by the STX France parent company. This ECORIZON R & D programme is part of the research being carried out by STX and for the ferry design, Stirling Design International were involved in the project.
The super capacitor electrical storage system is an extension of the technology found in energy recovery systems such as that used on some road vehicles and on Formula 1 cars in their KERS system. These store the energy that would normally be lost due to braking and make it available for powering electric motors when acceleration is required. On marine applications there is no opportunity for energy recovery but on the ferry application the super capacitor can be recharged very quickly so this can be done every time the vessel docks and this can provide enough power for the vessel on the short route of the Lorient crossing.
The ferry is based on low resistance catamaran hull 22.10m in length with reverse angle bows. This vessel operates in displacement mode and has a maximum speed of 10 knots. The propellers and pod drives have been supplied by Masson and the electrical system was developed by Batscap in France. Two 50 hp electric motors power the pod drives.
The ferry is designed to carry 150 passengers and has accommodation for 10 bicycles. The passengers are accommodated in a single full width saloon with some outside seating in the bow area. A raised pilot house allows an all round view for controlling the ferry which is designed for bow docking at each terminal.
Solar panels are installed on the deck above the saloon to supplement the capacitor power and a diesel powered generator has been installed with adequate power to propel the vessel. This generator was added to the specification to allow the ferry more flexibility in operation so that it can operate independently of the charging points when it is required to operate on alternative routes.
This ferry design using super capacitors is claimed to be a world first of a new generation of zero emission ferries. STX Lorient claim that there are many ferry routes around the world that operate on only short distances for which the use of the super capacitor system would be suitable. Experience with this first design could also lead to a wider application of the technology on harbour craft and even some leisure craft.

Since 2007, BRETAGNE POLE NAVAL has created a major centre for quality shipbuilding, repair and conversion in Western France, joining forces, competences and skills in an advanced way to meet international ship owners and operators needs.
New challenges in Marine renewable and Oil & Gaz
Major projects in 2012-2013 will be to contribute to develop skills and resources especially in Marine Renewable and "oil & gas" To prefigure a French sector of offshore wind farms offshore Saint Brieuc, all economic Regional players decided to get together and structure themselves. They entrust the coordination of this project to Bretagne Pôle Naval within a new committee dedicated specifically the project named Ailes Marines This program to start in 2015/2016 represents an investment of 2 billion and is expected to create 2000 jobs in Western France, including a significant part for Bretagne. The capacity will be 500 MW for 100 wind turbines. Communities are already working for the infrastructure meet the expectations of investors. Industrialists in Bretagne Pôle Naval cluster have skills and a high level of products and services for the preparation and implementation and for operation of maintenance of these offshore wind farms. They also contribute to the development of other marine renewable energy installations (floating turbines, tidal turbines )
Bretagne Pôle Naval aim at reinforce industries core business, meaning the shipbuilding and repair activities. Facing international competitors, another goal is to activate seeking contracts in the Oil and gas industry and increase export business.

We wish him great success in the service of naval chain and EMR actors in Bretagne
Next thursday, FRESENA, 18 meters pilot boat will be delivered to LOTSENVERSETZBOOTE TECHNISCHE FACHSTELLE NORDWEST pilots and leave Lorient for the port of Emden in northern Germany. After FRYA delivered in May 2011, this unit is the second in a series of 4 vessels for German pilots.
Marc Bernard, technical director of shipyard Bernard: "The prototype of the pilot boat named Frya is operating for almost a year in the area of Borkum from the port of Emden. It has proved highly satisfactory in particular on its behavior at sea in rough weather. We are pleased to deliver her sister ship after confirming a series of tests: a maximum speed exceeding 30 knots, a noise level below 75 decibels in the wheelhouse and many technical innovations including the warming bridge and handrail tailored to work in northern Germany in extreme cold. A third vessel named "Burkana" will be delivered in September to Borckum before a fourth vessel to the pilotage station of Bremerhaven."
Frank Dinnebier, boat Captain Lotsenversetzboote Technische Fachstelle Nordwest: "I've driven the first boat Frya and with Fresena we confirmed the performance of the ORC 190 ship with high speed of 31 knots in good weather and which is much safer and comfortable for our pilots. This is a great change that makes interventions more effective, fast and safe than with the smaller pilot boats limited to 6 knots we used so far.
Designed and built in the shipyard BERNARD at Locmiquelic, near Lorient in Brittany, this concept of all weather craft allows for an exceptional vessel which meets the stringent requirements of the pilot stations in the ports of Northern Europe. The shipyard is able to meet the challenge by offering a pilot boat able, in sea conditions force 4-5, to ensure an efficient service while combining comfort, speed, maneuverability and safety.
Download : Read complete press release and know more about shipyard Bernard (505,68 ko)The first international convention will bring together decision-makers in the sector of Marine Renewable Energies (EMR).
Brittany occupies a leading position in the development of EMR.
Bretagne Pole Naval, the cluster of companies in the shipbuilding and ship repair and marine renewable energy industries which contributes to the development of industrial sector in the EMR and the Pôle Mer Bretagne will be present under the same banner, on a stand 36m ² federated by Bretagne Developpement Innovation (The enterprise development agency of Brittany region)
The Cluster Bretagne Pôle Naval has federated, since its inception in 2007, 85 companies. Major center for engineering, shipbuilding and ship repair, it also contributes to the development of an industrial network in marine energy.
The offshore wind represents a real opportunity for development and restructuring of the major French ports including the ports of Brest or Lorient. More broadly, the marine renewable energy (EMR) is for many players in the shipbuilding industry, a scope of maritime know-how, whether supply laying or maintenance vessels or power generators themselves
Bretagne Pole Naval thus acts especially in linking businesses and contractors. In April 2011, the cluster has organized with the Brest Chamber of Commerce an important conference on offshore wind, which was held in Brest over 300 participants.
Bretagne Pole Naval presented the results of a study entrusted to the firm GL Garrad Hassan. This study on the industrial organization of fixed offshore wind projects presented especially analysis needs of contractors that are project developers, energy companies, manufacturers of wind turbines. Meanwhile, a survey of area businesses, their skills and their resources was conducted and led to the creation of a directory whose 2012 version has 100 companies (70 in 2011) that can be positioned in the chain of value as a partner, supplier, service provider or subcontractor.
After four years in the service of naval and marine energy sectors in Brittany, Gilles L'Haridon, Managing Director, leaves office in the cluster Bretagne Pôle Naval.He contributed significantly to the establishment and organization of the association, to the work of commissions and to animation of many meetings. The success of its actions can be measured by the number of members which is now 85 companies spread throughout Brittany, the confidence of the State, the Regional Council and the ICC, and the high participation in meetings organized between the companies and the contractors.
Gilles LHaridon joins the company Eole Generation of GDF SUEZ group, where he will exercise functions relating to offshore wind projects and marine renewable energy.The activity of Bretagne Pole Naval continues with the active participation of its President Jacques Dubost and with Jean-Daniel Fourdrinier.
We thank Gilles L'Haridon for all work done during these four years, and wish him great success in his new mission.
Back from EUROPORT Rotterdam, BPN has encouraging signs for our companies in Brittany.
Back from EUROPORT Rotterdam held from 8 to 11 November, Bretagne Pôle Naval who was participating for the second time to this meeting place for European shipbuilding and ship repair, inland navigation, port services and the dredging industry is back with some encouraging signs for our companies in Brittany.
On Its collective stand dedicated to promote industrial and port infrastructure and companies in the shipbuilding industry, BPN also welcomed 5 of its members who had traveled to the Netherlands: The shipyards BERNARD and GLEHEN, SEGULA Technology engineering company , the Port of Concarneau professionals association and mechanics engineering Ateliers NORMAND.
EUROPORT 2011 with 1100 exhibitors from 30 countries showed some optimism reflected in the many innovations presented. According to Jos Van Der Green, president of the Chamber of Commerce and president of Europort Rotterdam, "the future of the maritime world is our responsibility and we must remain competitive through innovation and technology." This is to respond to current issues such as the dominance of China on the world stage, sustainable development ... During the inauguration, a projection to 2041 to estimate what will happen then: scarcity fossil energy, climate change, increased need for drinking water and food .... The maritime economy of the future will leave the least possible impact on the planet, leading us to the ship with zero emissions. "Europe must invest today to predict the rise in oil prices, investing in safety and training to maximize his skills and production in an economic world where it occupies less space (China produces 50 % of goods and also investing in the shipping ...) " said Bernhardt Meyer, CEO of CESA. "We need to offer sophisticated vessels and innovations which benefits to the owners in order to optimize costs, save energy and protect the environment," concluded Bodewes Tecla, CEO of De Kaap site and Maritima Green Technology, voted "Business Woman of 2011 "by his peers.
Glehen shipyards have appropriate skills and infrastructure to build, for example, river barges or pushboats for waterways industry. In addition, the search for solutions to reduce energy consumption for vessels (as is the case on the trawler under construction at the shipyard) is one aspect that has particularly caught the attention of visitors and the press .
Dutch professionals are very interested in the pilot boats built by the shipyard BERNARD. Already in Germany, Belgium and Norway, the Breton shipyard could soon work with an agent in the Netherlands.
SEGULA Technologies presented its new embedded software for the calculation of stability and rationalization of the load named STABILOAD, available in two versions one for waterways, one for maritime shipping. The exhibition has allowed the company to validate the market and reach out to prospects.
This show is also an opportunity to make a major technical and economic survey including dredging and harbor towing.
The company also had the opportunity to attend numerous conferences around the "ship of the future" topic and participate in meetings B to B "Marimatch 2011" organized by Enterprise Europe Network.
Bretagne Pole Naval distributed to visitors more than 100 copies of the first edition of the directory 2012 of shibuilding and repair in French Brittany. This tool was well received by the various contacts that have seen, as expected, a fast and efficient way to identify in Brittany companies which in their projects, will be their partners, suppliers or subcontractors.It is also for suppliers, a lot at the show, a quick way to identify potential customers in Brittany and make their offer of products and services.
French Pavilion was federated by GICAN which brought together about twenty French companies.
Bernard Boidin, economic adviser of the Embassy of France in the Netherlands, visiting the show, assured business support and availability of services and the Economic Mission in The Hague to help develop trade between the two countries .
The next edition of Europort will be held from 5 to 8 November 2013.

I helped my neighbor with her bathroom curtain. We added a sheer fabric to the top of it because she wanted more light in the bathroom. We also raised the rod above the window frame. (She had a seamstress do the gathers on the bottom, which I think is unique.) She and I think we should raise the gathers a little higher up so the curtain doesn't sit so low. How far up should we go w the bottom hem line? Maybe about 4-6" below the trim? Whattaya think? | |||
Here's a full-on pic that might be better. | ||||
Gorgeous curtain panel.Dreamy | ||||
Very pretty indeed! Can you bring the bottom level to (or just skimming) the top of the wall tile? | ||||
I agree w/junk collector; it's going to get wet eventually. It is elegantly pretty | ||||
so you both don't think it would make it too boxy looking if we go up to the tip of the tile? Also, if we go up that high it will display a nice tile accent that's being covered up right now. You can kind of see one on the left side. | ||||
No - in fact I think if it were more "boxy" it would look more proportionate to the space. If it can be balanced as 1/3 sheer, 1/3 straight, and 1/3 ruffled it would look fantastic. More gathers will make it even more luxurious. such a pretty window treatment | ||||
Ok, we'll try that. And hopefully get a pic when done. Thanks so much you guys. | ||||
Beautiful!!!! So elegant looking!!! ~~~becca~~~~ | ||||
GREAT idea to add the sheer part to the top...more light and still retain the privacy. I might have to do this for my living room curtains. I wanted top-down blinds but they won't work with my window trim and casement windows. *Debi* ~*Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence*~ | ||||
thanks Deb - we actually doubled over the sheer fabric on the top since she had enough. It gave it more "body." It was quite thin otherwise. Hope it works for you. | ||||
I agree with what Junk Collector. Very pretty window treatment : ) | ||||
That is a beautiful solution! | ||||
Grapefruit - thanks a lot. Well, it looks like we've got an issue if we want to balance the look. The gathering tapes on the back were only sewn on the bottom portion. Where it starts to gather is where the top of the gathering tape is. It will only raise it a little shorter to gather it up as sewn. So, I guess the only way to get the gathers in in the 1/3 proportion is to remove the gathering tapes and sew on new ones - starting a little higher on the panel. I think that sounds like a lot of unnecessary work, especially since she paid someone to put on those gathering tapes already. | ||||
Agreed - if you can't fix it without undoing work, then leave well enough alone. Leave it as is and she can revisit the issue if it bothers her. Either way, it is still lovely for the space. | ||||
thanks, j.c. Certain things we just have to live with for awhile until we get motivated again. | ||||
Lily Muenster coffin lining. | ||||
Charles: yep, it kinda does look like it. You must have watched a lot of that show to remember. | ||||
Its really beautiful... I have used Faux wood blinds in my bathroom. It was installed really well by TBS Gallery. Looks pretty. | ||||

One possibility is the fiscal cliff takes effect and taxes go up in January, then Congress steps in to bring tax rates back down for at least some people -- allowing them to say they're lowering taxes, even if taxes for some wealthy people are higher in 2013 than they were in 2012. But retiring Republican Rep. Steve LaTourette of Ohio calls that scenario little more than a political game.
"Nobody is willing to pull the trigger (because) everybody wants to play the blame game," LaTourette said. "This blame game is about to put us over the edge."
Polls show most back Obama
Obama and Democrats have leverage, based on the president's re-election last month and Democratic gains in the House and Senate in the new Congress. In addition, polls consistently show majority support for Obama's position on taxes.
The Gallup daily tracking poll released Wednesday showed 54% of respondents support Obama's handling of the fiscal cliff talks, compared with 26% who approve of Boehner's performance.
"We believe very strongly a reasonable package can get majorities in both (chambers)," a senior White House official said. "The only thing that would prevent it is if Sen. McConnell and Speaker Boehner don't cooperate."
Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist has vowed to back primary challenges against Republicans who violate his widely signed pledge not to raise taxes. Even if a deal is reached, he predicts budget showdowns will continue -- every time the government needs more money to operate.
"There the Republicans have a lot of clout because they can say we'll let you run the government for the next month, but you've got to make these reforms," he said this week.
On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told Congress the government would reach its borrowing limit at year's end, but could take steps to create what he called "headroom" for two months or so.
However, Geithner said uncertainty about the fiscal cliff and deficit negotiations make it hard to predict precisely how long government measures to address the situation will last.
Crisis two years in the making
The possibility of a fiscal cliff was set in motion over the past two years as a way to force action on mounting government debt.
Now, legislators risk looking politically cynical by seeking to weaken the measures enacted to try to force them to confront tough questions regarding deficit reduction, such as changes to government programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
The two sides seemingly had made progress early last week on forging a $2 trillion deficit reduction deal that included new revenue sought by Obama and spending cuts and entitlement changes desired by Boehner.
Obama's latest offer set $400,000 as the income threshold for a tax rate increase, up from his original plan of $250,000. It also had a new formula for the consumer price index -- called chained CPI -- that wraps in new assumptions on consumer habits in response to rising prices, such as seeking cheaper alternatives, and would result in smaller benefit increases.
Statistics supplied by opponents say the change would mean Social Security recipients would get $6,000 less in benefits over the first 15 years of chained CPI. Liberal groups have openly challenged the plan, calling it a betrayal of senior citizens who contributed all their lives for their benefits.
Boehner appeared to move on increased tax revenue, including higher rates on top income brackets and eliminating deductions and loopholes. But his inability to rally all House Republicans behind his plan last week raised questions about his role and what comes next.
Reid and other Senate Democrats say House Republicans must accept that an agreement will require support from legislators in both parties, rather than the GOP majority in the House pushing through a measure on its own.
Some House Republicans have said they would join Democrats and support the president's plan in hopes of moving past the volatile issue to focus on spending cuts and entitlement reforms they seek.

Western Ghats
Stretching like a mountainous spine down the western edge of India, the Western Ghats are a unique mountain range that harbours an incredible diversity of flora and fauna (1) (2). Although most of the Western Ghats appear more like rolling hills than craggy snow-covered peaks (2), parts of it do reach over 2,000 metres and it contains the highest mountain in India, the Anaimudi, at 2,695 metres (3).

Western Ghats fact file
Stretching like a mountainous spine down the western edge of India, the Western Ghats are a unique mountain range that harbours an incredible diversity of flora and fauna (1) (2). Although most of the Western Ghats appear more like rolling hills than craggy snow-covered peaks (2), parts of it do reach over 2,000 metres and it contains the highest mountain in India, the Anaimudi, at 2,695 metres (3).
The peaks of the Western Ghats intercept the south-western monsoon winds (1), which bring heavy rain between June and September (1). An astonishing 2 to 8 metres of rain drench the Western Ghats each year, most of it falling in the short monsoon period (4). These rains feed dozens of rivers that originate in the mountains (1), and flow down into India, providing drinking water, irrigation, and power for approximately 245 million people (1) (4).
The rainfall patterns in the Western Ghats not only sustain the livelihoods of millions, but, coupled with the region's complex geography and temperature gradient (from over 30 degrees Celsius at sea level to 0 degrees Celsius at the highest parts (5)), produces a great variety of vegetation types (1).
Scrub forests on the low-lying, drier, eastern slopes give way to deciduous and tropical rainforests that occur up to about 1,500 metres (1). Above this elevation, a mosaic of rolling grasslands and montane cloud forests (locally called 'shola') blanket the Ghats (1) (6). The Western Ghats also contain savannas; peat bogs, where grasses, sedges and mosses flourish in areas of high rainfall over 2,000 metres; and Myristica swamps, a freshwater wetland unique to the Western Ghats found between sea level and 600 metres (4).
This incredible variety in vegetation types gives rise to an astonishing diversity of fauna. Although the Western Ghats cover less than 6 percent of the land area of India, it contains more than 30 percent of the country's mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian and fish species (4), and many animals are still being discovered (4).
The Western Ghats run 1,600 kilometres from just north of Mumbai, south through the states of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala before petering out in Tamil Nadu, close to the southern tip of the Indian peninsula (7). Most of the Western Ghats run parallel to the coast, 50 to 80 kilometres inland from the Arabian Sea (3). This mountainous range covers an area of about 160,000 square kilometres (1), and is broken only by the Palghat Gap, a 302 kilometre wide gap in the Western Ghats (6) (8).
Over 5,000 different plants occur in the Western Ghats. Around 1,700 of these are found nowhere else in the world (1).
This includes the wild relatives of many economically important species, such as grains (including rice and barley), fruits (mango, banana and jackfruit), and spices (black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg) (4), as well as numerous medicinal plants (4), such as the highly threatened white damor (Vateria indica). The fragrant resin and seed oil of this large evergreen tree can be used in medicines, as well as in soap and candle manufacturing (9).
Other notable plants that occur in the Western Ghats include Wight's sago palm (Arenga wightii) whose starch and sap (palm wine) provides an alternate source of food and drink for the local Muthuvans tribes (10), and Cycas circinalis, an endangered cycad (11) that plays an important role in the ecosystem. Not only does this cycad host the plains cupid butterfly (Edales pandava), but it is also thought that fruit bats feed on its seeds, providing one of the few food sources in the forest during the monsoon season (12).
Around 120 mammal species have been recorded in the Western Ghats (6). Most notably, they are home to both the world's largest population of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) and to ten percent of the world's tigers (Panthera tigris) (2).
Prominent endemic mammals include the Nilgiri tahr (Hemitragus hylocrius), which can be observed on the cliffs and high, grassy plateaus, and the lion-tailed macaque (Macaca silenus) which inhabits the evergreen forest (6) (11).
Nearly 50 of the mammal species found in the Western Ghats are bats (1). This includes Salim Ali's fruit bat (Latidens salimalii), remarkable for being the only species in its genus (1).
A great diversity of birds have been recorded in the Western Ghats (1), from the imposing Indian vulture (Gyps indicus) to the tiny blue Nilgiri flycatcher (Eumyias albicaudatus), and the stunning Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus) (13).
Of the 500 bird species known from the Western Ghats, around 22 species occur nowhere else in the world (6). Many of these endemic species, such as the Nilgiri wood pigeon (Columba elphinstonii) and Nilgiri blue robin (Myiomela major), are considered threatened (6) (11).
Reptiles and amphibians
The 225 species of reptiles recorded in the Western Ghats includes some fascinating and unique animals (6), such as the endemic Cochin forest cane turtle (Vijayachelys silvatica) (11), the wonderfully named mugger (Crocodylus palustris), and the infamous king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah). A family of primitive burrowing snakes, the Uropeltidae, are also largely restricted to these mountain ranges (6).
Equally as intriguing are the 117 amphibian species found in the Western Ghats, of which 89 are endemic (14). This includes the peculiar-looking purple frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis), which was only recently discovered in the southern Western Ghats, and represents an entirely new genus (6).
Fish and invertebrates
The numerous rivers and streams that originate in the Western Ghats are home to a remarkable variety of fish. Of the 288 species recorded, 118 are endemic (16). This includes the Denison barb (Puntius denisonii), a pretty, stream-dwelling fish that is a popular species in the ornamental fish trade (16).
While knowledge on the invertebrate fauna of the Western Ghats is relatively poor (1), the available information indicates that the Ghats harbour an abundance of diverse invertebrates, many of which are believed to be endemic (1). For example, of nearly 140 tiger beetle species known from the Western Ghats, more than 100 are found nowhere else (1).
An incredible 330 butterfly species have been recorded in the Western Ghats (6). One of these species, the Travencore evening brown (Parantirrhoea marshalli), can only be found in a small area of mid-elevation forest in the Ghats, where it flutters around reed patches at twilight (17).
This diverse biological haven is under tremendous pressure from a variety of human activities (4). Only a third of the Western Ghats still clings to its natural vegetation, and those remaining forests are highly fragmented and face the threat of increasing degradation (4).
Selective logging, conversion of land to agriculture, and clearance for the construction of reservoirs, roads and railways have all played a part in this habitat loss (1). Unfortunately, not even protected areas are safe from such threats, as hunting, firewood extraction, timber felling and livestock grazing apply pressure on the fringes of these important refuges (1) (6).
As the already large human population in the region grows further, the pressures on the remaining habitat of the Western Ghats will only increase. Conflict between humans and wildlife is already apparent, as raiding elephants may be killed in an attempt to prevent further crop loss (1).
Around 9 percent of the Western Ghats is protected, within 20 National Parks and 68 Sanctuaries (6). In addition, the Indian Forest Conservation Act, enacted in 1980, resulted in the cessation of all legal logging operations in the Western Ghats in the mid-1980s (1). While this offers the biodiversity of the Western Ghats some protection, it is clear that, as the human population pressure increases, further conservation measures are required (1).
Currently, many of the critical habitats within the Western Ghats, such as lowland dipterocarp-dominated evergreen forests and Myristica swamps, are not adequately represented in protected areas (6). Identifying, and subsequently conserving, key areas of biodiversity within the Ghats will help ensure that more of its flora and fauna are protected (1). India's National Wildlife Action Plan 2002-2016 focuses on strengthening and enhancing this protected area network, and recognises the importance of local community participation in protected area management (4). It also addresses the need for 'conservation corridors', to connect protected areas (4) and allow the movement of wide ranging species such as the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), tiger (Panthera tigris), and dhole (Cuon alpinus) (1).
Luckily, India has a long history of conservation and a reverence for nature, with a number of government institutions and non-governmental organisations actively involved in wildlife conservation. This will become increasingly important as the country tackles the challenge of strengthening conservation efforts in the face of the expanding human population (1) (4).

Hi guys, I just bought a new Savage 114 American Classic Stainless in .270 Winchester from Cabelas yesterday. I get home and insert the bolt into the gun and notice that it has a lot of wiggle room in the action and constantly hits the chamber wall when I go to close the bolt.
I cleaned the gun up and oiled it, and still about every other time I close the bolt it hits that chamber wall. I also dry fired it to make sure the firing pin was installed and after that, the bolt locked up and was very hard to open and extract.
Anybody have any experience with this? I'm going back to Cabelas today to see if they can fix it or get me a new gun. Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Ok, if you are like me, you've read the news, and watched your favorite round table discussions on the sequester. You've heard everything from panicked predictions of hardship to complete indifference. Well, I have had just about enough of this, since it is not necessary at all. Most people don't need a doomsday deadline to get them to do their jobs, so why should the legislature?
Congress should just repeal sequestration and get back to work.
If I could communicate with them I would say this: GROW UP!! Stop blaming each other, stop yakking at the news outlet cameras, and posturing in preparation for primary season. Continue reading

Rogar International Corporation has been the premier name in speed wine openers since it's introduction of the solid brass Vintner in 1975. Like Rogar's current Champion and Estate wine openers, the Vintner was based on the "Champion Cork Removal System" made by the Arcade Manufacturing Company using Michael Redlinger's American patent of 1897. Even then, the Champion had the unique ability to uncork and recork. Rogar took the orginal's mechanical concept and has continued to enhance it with modern matierals. Although the Vintner is no longer inproduction, and has become a collector's item, Rogar's Estate and Champion wine openers are now the fastest, easiest and most stylish way to open a wine bottle. They are fast, simple, and foolproof.
As we enter a new millennium, Rogar has kept pace with the times. Although the inspiration for their wine openers comes from the past, the technology is 21st century.
All their Estate and Champion openers have been designed to work on the newest flange top wine bottles as well as standard wine bottles. They even can be used to open corked olive oil bottles.
All Rogar products are proudly crafted in Virginia, USA, and carry a one-year limited warranty.


text: I've read all the articles and several in the past year regarding cleaning toning etc. and know I'm getting ready to tread on thin ice! Here's the situation; I found an 1801 S-216 at a shop the other day for next to nothing. The obverse is smooth as silk. So little relief that I'm surprised I can make out the devices. The reverse has much better details, but overall the coin is nearly a cull. The real problem is some the most unusual toning. Half is is iridescent baby blue, and the other half iridescent pink (like it's been dipped or horribly stored). Not natural as one sees on so many naturally toned silver pieces. Definitely artificial. So, not to deceive anyone, as I plan on keeping it forever, but to make it more pleasant to hold and view, does anyone have an opinion as to what I should do? Give it some sort of treatment or leave it as it is. I don't even enjoy looking at it in it's present state and haven't a clue how I'd go about trying to restore some sort of decent tone. As I said, it's a low grade coin, so despite messing with history, I'm not too concerned with toning it down a bit.......any suggestions? thanks.........clorox

Nestled in between the windswept mountains of Ireland's west coast, lies the dramatic Killary Harbor -- a breathtaking 16-kilometer fjord, plunging 45-meters deep below the surface.
The piercing blue glacial fjord is also home to one of the largest -- and cleanest -- collections of shellfish in Europe.
Guests at the nearby 1830s-era Delphi Lodge country house can cruise along the spectacular waterway in a speedboat, stopping at the historic oyster and mussel farms dotted along its rim.
The day trip includes farming demonstrations and a chance to sample the freshly cooked produce with a glass of the nation's iconic drink -- Guinness.

Suggestions Needed
Hello Whiskey Forum,
As you might guess from my name I do not drink alcohol and know very little about the world of Whiskey. I have several friends that drink but non of them favor Scotch but one, and it's because of him that I am here seeking suggestions. My friend was always just a beer drinker when I met and got to know him. Then about 20yrs ago he moved to N. California and was introduced to Scotch by some of his co-workers, and has been a convert ever since. He has been fighting cancer for the last 18 months and after having good results at first, has been re-diagnosed with it again. I would like to buy him a very good bottle of Scotch to send him to help keep his spirits up and to wish him well, but do not have a clue which one to buy him. I would really appreciate suggestions. I would like something that would really make his eyes open wide and say "holy sh$t" if you know what I mean. I know that there is a huge price range so my upper limit on the bottle I get him would be 150 to 200 dollar range. Any suggestions would be very welcome, |
Is he a collector of scotch or is he a scotch drinker?
There is a bit of a difference and the answer will change my answer. For a collector I would recommend a rarer bottle, whereas for a drinker I would suggest a well known luxury bottle. For a scotch collector: -Balvenie 21 Portwood Finish. -Highland Park 18 or 21 (the 25 is like $220 but better). -Macallan 18 -Glenfiddich 21 -Glenlivet 25 (although I'm not a fan of glenlivet). Pretty much any scotch over 18 that you can find in your range will be pretty good. But you may want to scout out some stores in your area to see what they have. And if you'd like, you could post the results up here and get votes on the best option. For a scotch drinker but not collector: -Johnnie Walker Blue Label -Chivas Regal 21 Salute or 25 yr. Also, I don't mean to overstep, but if your friend is going to be looking at chemo-therapy or other cancer treatments then maybe scotch isn't the best fit right at this time. I'm not really sure what the relation between drinking and cancer therapy is, so it may be worth a little research. Think of what his other passions in life are and maybe a gift regarding that will equally lift his spirits. |
Thank you Brussell for you reply and suggestions. My friend is a scotch drinker. Forgive my lack of knowledge about about scotch but I thought Johnnie Walker was an American whiskey. Also, you did not overstep, and I have considered that point myself, but this is a direct quote from his last email to me,
"Maybe when some of this health dust settles we can sync up in Utah this summer. I know you're not a scotch drinker, well…I can fix that. J" |
I would also suggest THE MACALLAN 18 sherry oak (not fine oak) , and the highland park 18 year old, for the scotch drinker. I wouldn't suggest a blended scotch. Also the glenfarclas 30 year old is a very good value for money.

Cincinnati, for whatever reason our local right wing talk station has always had the rights to the Reds and Bengals.
EDIT: Also, you have to do it in a way that is less than kosher if you want the NFL coverage, the "offical" stream blacks it out due to rights and you are supposed to listen to an actual radio, in case anyone gets the idea to do it.

Moving checked baggage from T1 to T5Nov 7, 201310I am arriving at T1 by United from Los Angels with checked in baggage on separately made reservation.

Coming from Bos, connect to Korean AirlinesOct 22, 201320Leaving Jan 7, 2014. From Bos via AA, arrive at ORD at 10:20am. Depart Korean Air at 11:40am, 1hr 20min layover. Term 3(AA) to Term5(KA). Will I have enough time to make connection? Will I have to go though TSA Securtiy check again? How about Customs. Should I contact AA and get earlier flight to Chicago O'Hare. No international flight experience since USAF back in the late 60's. Limited domestic experience since then. Any and all recommendations or insights appreciated.JKM49.usposted on Fri, Oct 18After arrival at ORD's Terminal 3, you need to take the ATS shuttle train (follow signs), which runs every few minutes - but in the unsecured areas of the terminals. At T5, you will need to go through security check before proceeding to your M gate: Concourse M has gates M1-21 which wrap around the concessions Court - to the left (gates M12-M21) and to the right (gates M7-M1), and extends northward in the center to gates M8-M11. If you purchased tickets for AA & KA separately, you would need to take the bags to T5 & check them in there, as those two airlines don't belong to the same Alliance. You should be able to make your transfer on time.saoct13posted on Sat, Oct 19That is a very tight connection. If you have to claim bags, It will take you at least half an hour to claim your bags and get to T5, in which time you will be past the bag check cutoff time for your Korean flight. If you booked these tickets on separate tickets, you absolutely need to change your flight from Boston to an earlier flight.ZAPposted on Tue, Oct 22

The only way to really get an answer is on a site like this where people actually KNOW. One last thing, it looks like even tho this a connecting flight, I will need to go thru security when going to K? Also, do you know if there's a little store or something where I can pick up some small stuff for the departing flight w/o going thru security? I can't tell which areas are secured and if I have to leave them. Um, I'll be in a wheel chair on the way back 5 days later and may have a question about that but don't want to overload you.

Note that Dublin Airport has U.S. customs clearance, saving her time on arrival at ORD. The ATS train runs between ORD's 4 terminals, but in their unsecured areas - meaning she has to go through security check before proceeding to connecting gate. One hour transfer time is tight.

Who Is Newly Single Jennifer Lawrence Bringing To The Golden Globes?
First Published: January 13, 2013 6:25 PM EST Credit: FilmMagic
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jennifer Lawrence, who reportedly split from fellow actor Nicholas Hoult, won't be going to the Golden Globes solo.
The "Silver Linings Playbook" star – nominated for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy – will actually have two dates on her arm on the Globes red carpet.
"I can bring both my parents, which is amazing," she told E! News at the BAFTA Tea Party on Saturday. "It was originally just a plus-one."
According to Us Weekly, the actress, 22, split with her "X-Men: First Class" co-star, 23, after dating for two years after meeting on the set of their Marvel mutant movie – where they played each other's onscreen love interests.
According InTouch Weekly – who also reported the couple's split – claims the pair will "remain friends."
Their continued friendship will be important, as they are both returning to big screen together in "X-Men: Days of Future Past," slated for 2014. -- Jesse Spero

Short Organza Striped Halter Dress Style 84325
Lovely Dress
We purchased this dress for my bridesmaids...one is 5'1" and wears a 14...(two) is 5'6" wears a 12-14 (third) is 5'11" size 10-12...and the size 18 in this dress fit them all perfectly, and no alterations are needed. One of my girls are very busty and this dress covers up very well. It will need to be steamed so it can lay flatter but otherwise I'm glad this dress fit them all very well, and their were no complaints! We purchased the watermelon color.
July 2, 2013
not what I expected
This dress came bald up in a little bag so it was VERY wrinkled and the color was not the same as the other Malibu colored dresses I ordered from David's bridal. I ordered this dress for my bridesmaids and was VERY unsatisfied.
April 23, 2013
nice dress
I bought this dress to wear on a cruise for the informal dinner. It fits nice, and looks nice. I dont have to wear a bra with this since its a halter dress. I usually wear a C cup bra, and felt comfortable with the support from the dress. I ordered my size and it fits snug, but thats how I wanted it to fit. If you like a little moving room, you may want to order a size up. Nice dress for the price
January 18, 2013
Fit like a glove
I ordered this dress in wisteria. It's extremely flattering and fit perfectly!
