About KAMERS 2013
Over the last decade KAMERS vol geskenke has had the privilege to present South Africa's top creativity in some of the finest venues. Continuing this tradition, we are thrilled to host KAMERS Stellenbosch at the picturesque Webersburg Estate, 5 to 10 November. We will be in Bloemfontein for the second time at Woodlands Conference & Function Venue, 3 to 6 October and end the year on a high in Irene, Pretoria at The Open Window School, 3 to 8 December.
With transformation as this year's theme, KAMERS provides a visual and creative feast of exceptional handmade and crafted products. A selection of the best originally designed wares, from jewellery, gourmet food products, ceramics and soft furnishings, to décor accessories, garden gear, designer clothing and accessories, will be available from our niche suppliers from 9:00 until 18:00 daily and Sundays until 16:00, with extended shopping hours until 20:00 on Friday evenings.
KAMERS Pretoria en Stellenbosch will also host TUIS and HOME magazine workshops on the Fridays and Saturdays and live music and KIA test drives will complement the unique shopping experience.
The KAMERS team is well known for their innovative sourcing of creative talent and fresh, new product ideas. It is a platform for creative, innovative and upcoming entrepreneurs to showcase unique products that are not easily available in the marketplace. KAMERS is not into the perfectly made or the mass produced, it is about high end true craft, slightly imperfect, timeless and originally designed… that special something that is only found at the shows.
Tickets are R50 pp, available at Computicket (2-day passes also available)

Feedback From KAMERS Visitors
"Fantastic session again today at at Kamers. A hotbed of honest creativity and good old fashioned character."

"The exhibition at Irene was awesome and definitely not to be missed in the coming year. DJ Kingsley's music created a fantastic ambience. His music choice was spot-on and contributed to a very relaxing, "feel good" atmosphere."
"Ek kan nie dit beter beskryf as 'n 'reservoir of creativity' nie. Die produkte was uitstekend en ek het het my verkyk aan hoe mooi en kreatief al die produkte uitgestal was. Dit was voorwaar 'n heerlike ontspan-dag en ek sal dit beslis volgende jaar weer bywoon!"
"Kamers is elke jaar 'n hoogtepunt op my kalender. Vir die paar uur wat ek daar rondgeloop (en gekoop het!) was soos 'n energiepil vir die siel. Die natuurskoonheid van die wynplaas, die kunswerke wat te koop was, die energie en atmosfeer van die hele geleentheid was 'n wonderlike ondervinding!"
"Thank you for a wonderful day at such a beautiful venue. The creativity of all of the stall holders was amazing and so refreshing with so many new ideas. I look forward to next year."
"I went to Kamers on Friday, it was absolutely amazing, a perfect photo opportunity! Surrounded by beautiful vineyards, oaks, nature and plenty of creativity, I took so many pics, I couldn't help myself."

There are so many beautiful things on display at Kamers Vol Geskenke... there is something for everyone, this is definitely the best opportunity for you to do some christmas shopping this holiday." - Read more on I Love Pretoria Blog.

Susan Boyle has been hospitalized after an emotional breakdown over the weekend. The hospitalization was a voluntary one, as the singer and her Britain's Got Talent handlers were worried about how she was coping after all the stress from losing the show to Diversity (an all boy dance troupe).
"Police were called to doctors assessing a woman under the Mental Health Act. The woman was taken voluntarily by ambulance to a clinic. At the request of doctors, police accompanied the ambulance." a Boyle spokesperson said in a statement.
On Monday, judge Piers Morgan [...] said she is "fine". "She had too long to wait between the audition show and the final, and the pressure just builds and builds and builds. It's been crazy, she has gone from anonymity to being the most-downloaded woman in history." (via US Weekly)
Boyle's rise to fame has been a crazy one, which saw her fly from being a single woman who spent too much time at home alone with her cats, to the most downloaded woman ever/ one of the most watched people on YouTube. That would be enough to push anybody over the edge. I've no idea what that kind of fame feels like, all I know is the feeling of having the single best rack of anyone who peruses this site and that feels pretty awesome. But that kind of sudden and all consuming adoration in the space of around 24 hours must have been hard for the clearly frail Scott.

Volunteers dig to save Clam Pass
Andre Senior
Photo: Video by fox4now.com
CREATED Jan. 2, 2013
NAPLES - Dozens of kids and adults dug in to help save Clam Pass in Naples on Wednesday.
"It just seemed like it was a shame nothing was getting done," said Rod McKay, who started the project with his son last weekend.
Sand has clogged the pass since stormed passed over the area during the summer, and erased the estuary that connects the bay to the Gulf of Mexico.
Volunteers are worried that if it is not repaired, the bay will deteriorate.
"You're going to get algae blooms. You could start seeing fish kill. There's a lot of migrating mullet that come in here," said Naples resident
Collier County Commissioner Georgia Hiller recently stepped in to get the process moving more quickly by turning over management of the project to another department.
Pelican Bay Services Division is expected to ask for an emergency permit to begin dredging more quickly, yet the work will not start right away.
"(It) will be based on the Amy Corp. of Engineers and the state," said Hiller. "I'm convinced that they have our best interest at heart. They will do everything they can to hasten the approval of the revised permit."
Commissioner Hiller tells Fox 4 that the goal is to have Clam Pass open no later than may.

The Realmadrid Foundation is the instrument by which the club makes efficient use of its social and corporate responsibility, and by which it develops projects of a social and formative nature. Real Madrid makes an annual donation to the Foundation in order for it to undertake several activities.
The Foundation's main goal is to promote values inherent in sport, and to use the latter as an educational tool, both in Spain and the rest of the world. The Foundation believes sport is capable of contributing to the complete development of the personality of those who practice it, and can serve as a tool of social integration for those excluded from society. It also believes in promoting and spreading cultural aspects traditionally linked to sport.
The Realmadrid Foundation exists thanks to the collaboration of different offices of the government services and thanks to the generous support it receives from the patronage and sponsorship of national and international companies, as well as the donations from thousands of Madridistas who wish to strengthen their bond with Real Madrid.
The Foundation's activities take place in five different areas: promotion of sports, sports education for the development of values, social projects, international cooperation and institutional activities. It also has a Heritage Centre that serves as an archive for historical documents.
The Foundation undergoes an annual audit and presents its results to its Board and to the Protectorado Fundaciones del Ministerio de Educación y Deporte. These results are published in the club's annual report and in the Foundation's magazine.

The wings are amazing. They have no sauce on them. They are a wonderful dry rub. The drink specials are also very good
We have been to Anthony's a few times. Have to admit it was not the best experience the first time , since our pie was "well done" as they advertise it. Not used to see the char at the edges of the crust. (it was actually burned). So, we did not come back until several months later. The second time... More
Thursday night we were seated immediately, our server Joseph was straight to our table with menus and took our drinks order. The Italian salads are large and very tasty, with a choice of mozzarella or Gorgonzola cheese. We had the baked chicken wings with caramelized onions which was nicely cooked and very tasty. For sports fans this is a great... More
The pizza is amazing and one of my kids favorites in Miami ,only second to Polo Norte pizzeria, the ribs are also good but they are not always available,plenty of parking.
This place never fails on quality and service. Awesome choice for wings a d pizza. A great place to take the family.
Never liked wings until I was introduced to Anthony's. Meaty and Delicious. Ask for extra caramelized onions to eat with the accompanying bread. Great beverage when eating at home to accompany is California Sparkling Wine; either Iron Horse or "J". Their cheese pizza is a good choice to go with the wings. Enjoy.
Great beer selection. Good pie. Great service with friendly staff. Good location. Limited parking. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The pizza is one of the best I ever tasted. Reminds me of my trip to Venice, Italy. Thin, crispy and delicious fresh ingredients. Not like some of the ones you get with that thick dough where you feel super guilty after you've had it because its more dough than toppings or cheese and tomatoes. The chicken wings are also... More
I've never tried coal fired pizza, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was amazing. It was charred a bit, but i believe it was intentional, and I actually really liked it. I can highly recommend the cauliflower pizza, and I'm not big on veggies! I think the chicken wings were the best though. Surprising flavors combined to make... More
Classic american sports bar....but with an Italian flavor. Nice place ,great pizza and a very good service. I can easly reccomend this place that will be around for a long time...... the coal cooking pizza ...sometime taste like...coal... instead the classic wood....but its not bad at all and it is cooked the right way....well done !!!!!!

Hoss did a nifty mod by using the Z column. Check out www.hossmachine.info
As far as kits are concerned, there is nothing comercially available.
I on the other hand machined my own table
CNCzone Network: RFQwork :: 3Dstuffzone :: Welderzone
My x2 is on the way and Im thinking I want to upgrade the x and y a bit. Any kits out there anyone can point me to? Id like to decide my route before I order ball screws and have to do that twice.
Hoss did a nifty mod by using the Z column. Check out www.hossmachine.info
As far as kits are concerned, there is nothing comercially available.
I on the other hand machined my own table
I like the table- I was thinking of doing something like this (I had a thread about making an X2 BASE totally from scratch, but ran into heavy cost issues). What did you make it out of? Is it cast iron or did you use steel of some kind? If you went with cast, can I ask where you got a piece that size and how much it ran you? I'd love to do something similar...
I didn't use cast iron, I work in a machine shop and used a peice of 1018 CRS that was laying around. Check out www.speedymetals.com
They have great prices and quick shipping.
I used 4" x 1.625" x 24"
One thing to take into consideration, Make sure you have a machine capable of cutting t-slots. I did mine on a bridgeport.
upgrading the y is difficult. You would be better off with a x3 if you needed a lot more travel.
Well Starleper1 did fine work on that X table. But if you've already got the X2 or it's on the way, I think you'd be hard pressed to do better than what asammons did HERE (Benchtop Monster is Born - Harbor freight 44991 / 33686 Hybrid CNC Conversion!!!) considering relatively low cost and a big gain in X and Y.
That's the route I'll be going soon.
Thanks, the sad thing is I'm not going to use it. I came the realization that for the machine i want the X2 cannot provide. So i decided to build my own. In a week or so I'm going to start up a build thread.
Anyway, yeah i agree, for the money what he did with that mill is the way to go no doubt about it.
CNCBridges makes a table for the X2.
Yeah, ask asammons about that.
the title of this thread should give you an idea.
Help please cncbridges got my money

Now there's a memory jogger Trevor! It took me back to the thrill of coming home from school and finding a food parcel from Australia. As Mum and I took out each wonderful item we were overawed by the kindness of strangers.I can't remember if we ever knew the identity of the sender but I'm sure if we did a letter of thanks would have winged its way across the world to them. The goodies were stowed away and made to last as long as possible being brought out on special occasions and shared with other family members. No matter if that meant the portions were very small, that was the way people did things during the war. Before Christmas for example there would be a conflab amonst the family to see who could bring what to the party. From the dark recesses of various pantries would come a hoarded tin of fruit or jar of jam. Someone would offer to make " mock cream" ( how I loved that, never having known the real thing) and between us all a passable feast
would be assembled. What was lacking on the table was more than made up for by the warmth of the companionship and in the sing-song around the piano afterwards we could forget the horrors of war for a little while. What memories!

03-13-2012, 05:14 PM #50Hi, I am from the Seattle area.
Look, I organize my graduating class high school reunions and area functions. I have had some experience with this stuff. These things take time and usually if you want a function to happen, you have to just set it up yourself and then notify all whom you have email for, and see who shows up. After the first time and pictures posted showing what a good time everyone had, the event gets bigger. You can also try one of the internet based invitation web sites, but you have to get email addresses.
It will be hard to get it started from a passive method like a forum thread.
An online sportbike club I belong to did successfully organize a huge Northwest only ride from Western to Eastern Washington, and it was great. They had to start the motorcyclists in waves from the meet point because the number who showed up was so big. We had over 300 motorcycles (some cruiser folks too).Last edited by The Heater; 03-13-2012 at 05:16 PM.

PubMed Health: What Works in Healthcare.
PubMed Health, a new resource from the National Library of Medicine, specializes in reviews of clinical effectiveness research, with easy-to-read summaries for consumers as well as full technical reports.
PubMed Health pulls together information from many agencies: summaries from The Cochrane Collaboration and the National Health Service (NHS) National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment Programme, and full text reviews from the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Drug Effectiveness Review Project (DERP) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), England's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines program, and the Department of Veterans Affairs' Evidence-based Synthesis Program.
PubMed Health includes consumer, executive/policymaker, and clinical summaries of systematic reviews as well as the full-text of systematic reviews. There is also a medical encyclopedia that presents medical and drug information for consumers. The results page (below) allows you to choose the type of summary you want (1), view your topic in the Medical Encyclopedia (2), and find other systematic reviews with a PubMed Clinical Queries search (3).
Behind Headlines comes from the NHS and covers the research behind recent health news. For instance, there was a headline that ice cream is 'addictive like drugs' recently and there is an analysis of the actual study showing that did not really state that.
So, next time you are searching for evidence for a healthcare decision, be sure to include PubMed Health, along with you other favorite Evidence Based resources.

Geological Society of America Annual Meeting Short Course 508
Helping Students Succeed in Geoscience Courses at Two-Year Colleges
Short-Course information | Program | Participants
A short course and workshop coordinated by Eric Baer and Robert H. Blodgett, co-sponsored by NAGT and COSEE, and part of the SAGE 2YC project which is funded by the National Science Foundation. This course was Saturday, October 26, 2013 in Denver, CO. This workshop brought together two-year college (2YC) faculty and other educators to share successful approaches, strategies, and programs for working with all students, both in and outside the classroom. Participants learned how recent research on student learning, group interaction, and instruction can help support student success. Because no two 2YCs are alike, the workshop addressed a range of research-supported techniques and strategies for adaptation to local needs.

The Bone is Back
Too trouble-prone for nuclear alert and sidelined in the first Gulf War, the B-1 is today the busiest bomber in the fleet.
- By David Noland
- Air & Space magazine, May 2008
Ted Carlson/Fotodynamics.net
It's one o'clock in the morning on December 17, 1998, a cool crystalline night at Thumrait Air Base in the Persian Gulf sultanate of Oman. Two Rockwell B-1B bombers idle on Runway 17. Cleared for takeoff, the first jet begins to roll, its afterburners washing the rocky desert landscape in a faint orange glow. Quickly gathering speed, the Lancer lifts off the runway and banks into a sharp turn to the right, heading west. Forty-five seconds later, the second B-1B follows. The two jets join up in a loose formation and turn north into the starry blackness.
For the B-1, this is an historic moment: the long anticipated first combat mission of the complex, expensive, and oft-maligned bomber delivered to the Air Force 13 years earlier. Born amid controversy in the 1960s, twice canceled, and plagued early by technical problems, the B-1 had seemingly gotten lost in the shadows—caught between the Boeing B-52, the iconic bomber of the past, and the Northrop B-2, the stealthy bomber of the future. In 1990, the B-1 had suffered the ultimate humiliation: staying Stateside during the first Gulf War, while the plodding, antique B-52s answered the call to duty.
But now, in Operation Desert Fox, the four-day 1998 air campaign against Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, the B-1 was finally getting a chance to prove its worth. "Failure was not an option that night," recalls Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Greaney, a back-seat weapon systems operator on the trail aircraft. "We all had very big chips on our shoulders after the Gulf War." The B-1s were to take out the main barracks of Saddam's elite Republican Guard at Al Kut, 100 miles southeast of Baghdad. The two big jets would be escorted by a dozen carrier-based fighters and an EA-6B Prowler.
Joining up with the Navy aircraft, the two B-1s crossed the Iraqi border at 26,000 feet and 550 mph. They navigated around an Iraqi SA-2 surface-to-air-missile site, but two more sites, equipped with the more dangerous SA-3 missiles, awaited near Al Kut. Greaney, chewing tobacco and occasionally spitting to the side of his dangling oxygen mask, monitored the SA-3 tracking radars on his instrument panel displays. He watched as the SAM radars flicked on briefly, then shut down, the operators apparently fearful of the radar-homing missiles carried by the EA-6B. He breathed a sigh of relief: No SAMs tonight.
Approaching the target, the B-1 crews watched as orange streaks of anti-aircraft artillery fire arced far below them. Seven miles out from Al Kut, Greaney's B-1, nicknamed "Watchdog," released its load of 64 500-pound "dumb" bombs. The drop took only five seconds; the B-1 immediately racked into a steep 3-G right bank and headed back toward Thumrait.
It hadn't been a perfect mission—sand in the bomb release mechanism had caused 20 bombs to hang up—but all in all, things had gone smoothly. After landing around 6:30 a.m., with the sun just rising off the left wing, Greaney crawled into his tent to sleep, exhausted and exhilarated. Not until the next night did he see the satellite photo that showed a tight cluster of marks centered on the barracks, with nearly a dozen direct hits. In the close, competitive world of bomber crews, Greaney and his mates had earned bragging rights.
For the B-1, the destruction of the Republican Guard barracks that night was the first step back toward respectability. (Two other Desert Fox missions were also successful.) Subsequent combat in Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq confirmed its comeback. And last year, the B-1's tale of redemption reached an unlikely zero-to-hero ending: In Southwest Asia, the former Rodney Dangerfield of warplanes became the bomber of choice. Since April 2006, the fancy $2 billion stealth bombers have sat meekly in climate-controlled Missouri hangars or deployed to Guam for training exercises, and the B-52s have rested their weary combat wings Stateside, while B-1s have been flying almost daily against the Taliban. Tony Straw, a B-1 pilot with the Seventh Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas, says proudly, "We're now in demand."
The B-1 was born in a time of stormy debate about strategic bombing philosophy. Manned bombers or intercontinental ballistic missiles? Penetrate or stand off? High altitude or low? The first casualty of the debate was also the Air Force's first stab at a B-52 replacement: the XB-70, a high-altitude Mach 3 marvel. Its radar cross-section and infrared signature would have made the aircraft an easy target for a new generation of Soviet missiles, however, and in 1961, Air Force planners turned their focus to a low-level, under-the-radar bomber. Numerous design studies ensued, with acronyms like SLAB, ERSA, LAMP, AMPSS, and finally, in 1964, AMSA, for Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft. (Wags said that it stood for "America's Most Studied Aircraft.") But Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, a believer in ballistic missiles rather than manned bombers, limited AMSA funding to a trickle. Worried that the B-52s would start suffering structural failures before a new bomber could replace them, the Air Force ordered an interim solution: the General Dynamics FB-111, which presaged many features of the bomber-to-come.

What a great article. It make us proud an determined more than ever to pursue perfection in our design. The vision of some of our leaders preserved this wonderful flying machine. Let's apply these lessons to the future

Very interesting. If there's a moral here it would be something like 'build a fantastic warbird and you'll find a way to use it'. Interesting, though, that the concept is now forty years old, and some of the planes must be pushing 20 or more. Can you imagine a 1918 bomber fighting in 1938?

Good job, great article.

I grew up in Palmdale, CA - the birthplace of the B-1. My father worked on the project for over twenty years. If there was ever a "family" airplane for our family, this was it. We knew some of the pilots and many of the people who put it in the sky. Reading this article brought back pleasant memories for me. However, the plane was never more troubled than any other military aircraft. The B-2 was far more troubled in its R & D than the Bone. It is also far too expensive to be placed in the mission of the B-1. Thank you for finally giving the B-1 the coverage it rightfully deserves.

Those of us that have been around it for a while know that a single B-1 is truly an awesome projection of American military might! I've been part of the B-1 team since 1986 and it is nice to finally see some much-deserved good press!
Posted by Ken Harris, AFETS on March 27,2008 | 03:27 PM
Great article. One minor comment regarding the caption for the lower picture on page 63. The bombs released should read parachute retarded MK82s or Mk83s, not a cluster bomb.
Posted by Jose on March 29,2008 | 03:25 PM
The B52H may be old and cranky and certainly not as sleek looking as the Bone, but it will be soldiering on long after the B1 is nothing more than a gate guard on a stick.

I loved the story & the plane, but when I tryed to view the clip on UTUBE, there was no refferance.

Finally the BONE is getting the praise it so deserved, it had to sit out the first gulf war due to the fact that at the time it was not certified for conventional weapons, while the B-2 and the B-52 or the BEAK and the BUFF if you prefer were. I had the privelege of working on some of the avionics systems and the deployment of the rotary launcher system both at Palmdale's Plant 42 and at Edwards AFB in the mid to late 90's and I loved every second of it. While the other bombers in service are wonderful aircraft the BONE has a very special place in my heart. It is a wonderful and extremely capable airframe. My brother Mark is still an engineer with Boeing on the B-1 project. The BUFF has undergone countless mods over the years and is finally nearing a well earned retirement and the BONE has some big shoes to fill but I am confident that it will continue to be a big part of our Air Force for years to come. Fighters usually get the glory but when you need something destroyed , call in a Bomber! God Bless all of our men and women defending our nation!

We should give thanks to Ed Schnakenberg, Chief Design Engineer, and his North American-Rockwell Advance Design team who configured the B-1 in the Proposal Phase of the competition for the initial B-1 contract. moke

I have been in the Aerospace Industry since 1958 and have seen phenominal evolution. One was the B1! I participated in the contract negotiations of the Hanger Bay & all Ground Handling Equipment (GHE) at Edwards which accommodates FOUR (4) B1s. Yes, the whole program was massive and expensive, but was also part of the process to perfection.
Continual Kudos to the designers (& redesigners), sub contractors, QA & Final Assembly groups, the final craft itself, flight crews, and especially to the Maintenance Crews.
A belated thanks to Washington DC for belatedly recognizing reality. You can not get a Cadillac or Cady performance on a Chevy budget ....
Posted by Bryce Jerlow on April 24,2008 | 06:11 PM
An impressive aircraft, as all in the arsenal are. If you want to read about another very neat aircraft, go to maggiesfarm.com and look up the piece by Maj. Brian Shul, entitled "I loved that jet." Maj. Shul is one of the few pilots rated to fly the Blackbird.
Posted by Bill T. on April 27,2008 | 04:41 PM
Very impressive technology. Meanwhile, we're losing a war to a bunch of guys who plant bombs in the dirt.
Posted by Nick V on May 5,2008 | 07:02 PM
What, nary a word about the most important part of an aircraft -- the engines? I know it's had GE's so far, but the B-1R is being proposed with Pratt & Whitney F119's that would push it up to Mach 2.
Y'all are right about the sound level. They lit the augmentors on a fly-by at a Kelly AFB air show I attended years ago, and it was the loudest.
And, oh, Nick V, haven't you heard the latest? We ain't losing to those guys in the dirt any more.

Wow, gee whiz. Gosh, with all the "devastating" power in "destroying the caves", why is it that Sheikh Omas and dead-or-alive by very-much-alive Osama bin Laden are sill directing a global war on terror from same caves via with hand written messages while we buy plans whose main use is giving aviators their next star or bar. How much is spent on special forces, the total war budget in Afhghanistan, vs. keeping these relics in the air?
Question: does Smithsonian abide by ANY journalist standards, or do you just read DOD press releases and verbatim quotes from Generals?
Posted by Richard on August 26,2008 | 12:43 AM
This is a really interesting article that fills in a void for someone like me, a person who would have loved to have been a pilot but blocked by the obvious: vision.
I had little idea of the versatility of the B-1 before reading this article. The pilots who fly them along with the ground crews must be justifiably proud.
There's an object lesson here for the brass in the Pentagon as well: when you end up with a boondoggle, turn it into a bonanza -- use the B-1's history as a template!
Posted by Mekhong Kurt on December 14,2008 | 04:31 PM
I worked on the B-1A's in 1981 thur 1985 while I was stationed at edwards AFB. then i was discharged from the A.F. and i went to work for rockwell and built ship 2 thur 100 it was the most rewarding job i've ever done. we had some of the best mechanics at that plant. there was always such pride when we would deliver an airplane. the pilots always did a flyby at high speed. I'm glad the bone is getting some good press also, everyone would always rag us about the b-1 being a maintenance nightmare. GO BONE!!!!
Posted by nick gramm on March 4,2009 | 12:14 PM
I worked on the B-1 data team out of Ridley Mission Control Center at Edwards in the 1980s. When the Gulf War broke out, we had no idea why the B-1 was not used. It had been tested for carrying conventional Mk-82 bombs a lot. The famous photo of the load dropping over the desert was shot at Edwards.
We were told they had to be on nuclear alert in case 'something' happened. Probably more of a political decision not to use them. The CTF never got a straight story on why they never were used, and there were a lot of upset engineers and maintenance troops.
It also did one test flight to drop Naval mines off the coast of Southern California for the Navy. They were happy when it was over.
A lot of the interface problems were due to the USAF deciding it would be 'prime contractor'. Usually Rockwell, the builder of the bomber would have that title. They thought they could save money having the USAF do it. Well, officers come and go and decisions on problems that would crop up were never made. Probably one of the dumber procurement decisions made out at Wright Pat, then again Systems Command was full of Commie infiltrators, as opposed to the real AF, SAC.
Posted by Frank Schiffel on August 25,2010 | 06:30 PM
Nice article.
One point not mentioned about this program is that the B-1Bs were all delivered ahead of schedule and about $1 billion under budget. I think that is probably unique in the annals of major DoD contracts.
Posted by Addison Thompson on January 15,2011 | 07:27 PM
This bomber illustrates quite well an often overlooked fact. When designing a weapons platform to meet a current threat, many complain it was a wasted effort if the enemy suddenly becomes neutral or even a friend. Think the USSR and the B-1. Truth is, the enemy of today may well be the competitor in the arms market of tomorrow! Since Russia sold it's air defense systems to many third world countries, the B-1 is, in effect, facing the same air defenses it was designed to overcome when the USSR existed! Given the history of the B-52, it would serve the US well if the B-1 fleet was expanded and a program of regular updates was instituted. Money spent in defense of the nation should never be considered 'wasted'.
Posted by Kenneth Johns on January 24,2013 | 04:03 AM
Great Article.
Was in absolute awe that sunny day when I saw the B1 come across Dyess AFB from the front gate roaring over the main hanger, engines roaring like an angry lions, when it came fast and low over the main taxiway to the center of the runway and pulled straight up into a vertical climb. Eventually, rolling off the vertical climb into an inverted roll. Not many pilots could pull that feat off I'm sure. It was definitely show and tell that day.
Sitting out the Gulf War was hell, all those years of training. We were like MMA fighters waiting for the title match. Those that stayed with the B1 finally got their day though, I envy them for that. No one wants or enjoys a war, but you are ready to do your part if it comes.

The B-1 is the most beautifully shaped airplane ever designed. It is the King of the airshows. It is an awesome machine. Congrat to all people at Rockwell and the Airforce who designed it and flew her. A great American project technically equal to the Roman Aquaduct and the Titanic.

I have been extremely happy with my PIXMA 350 that I got about a year ago. Before that purchase I had only bought HP for years but my last two had been disappointing. I'm glad I bought a Canon this time.

Scott Feinberg's Top 10 Films of 2010
1. "The Social Network" (Columbia, 10/1, PG-13, trailer)
I distinctly remember sitting in a movie theater over the summer when the first teaser for "the Facebook movie" began playing, prompting groans and snickering all around me — stuff along the lines of, "What's it gonna be about? A server crashing? »

DVD Playhouse December 2010

America Lost And Found: The Bbs Story (Criterion) Perhaps the best DVD box set released this year, this ultimate cinefile stocking stuffer offered up by Criterion, the Rolls-Royce of home video labels, features seven seminal works from the late '60s-early '70s that were brought to life by cutting edge producers Bert Schneider, Steve Blauner and director/producer Bob Rafelson, the principals of Bbs Productions. In chronological order: Head (1968) star the Monkees, the manufactured (by Rafelson, et al), American answer to the Beatles who, like it or not, did make an impact on popular culture, particularly in this utterly surreal piece of cinematic anarchy (co-written by Jack Nicholson, who has a cameo), which was largely dismissed upon its initial release, but is now regarded as a counterculture classic. Easy Rider (1969) is arguably regarded as the seminal '60s picture, about two hippie drug dealers (director Dennis Hopper »

Earlier this month, I spoke by telephone for about 20 minutes with the 30-year-old actor Ryan Gosling, who has since been nominated for a Golden Globe for best actor (drama) for his extraordinary performance opposite an equally impressive Michelle Williams (also Globe-nominated) in Derek Cianfrance's controversial "Blue Valentine."
Click Here To Listen To The Audio Of Our Conversation!
Over the course of our conversation, we discussed Gosling's childhood moviegoing memories and favorites; his first acting gig, at the age of 12, on the Disney Channel's "The Mickey Mouse Club" (1993-1995); his first major film role, as a young Jew who becomes a virulent anti-Semite in "The Believer" (2001), which led him to take acting more seriously, and which led the industry to take him more seriously; his thoughts on "The Notebook" (2004), the blockbuster chick-flick that made him the heartthrob of girls the world over; his experience with the low-budget "Half Nelson »

Y'all remember when I did this for the ladies so I figure it's twin-time. You have to have both pieces of a matching set. Not that I'm looking forward to this one as much. Impress or surprise me fellas! You're not actresses so you have to work harder to provide Film Experience jollies. (If you have time to watch the full video it's at the bottom of the post.)
1:00 Robert Duvall (Get Low) tells a rambling story about becoming an actor and reveals "my brothers were both professional singers." The Duvall Brothers, eh? I so wanna hear that record. Would it be like the Osmonds except with less smiling?

The appropriately titled "The Attack of the Small Screens" tells the story of how television got perilously close to destroying the movies in the late '40s and early '50s. Hollywood, in fact, was attacked not only by Milton Berle and I Love Lucy, but also by the U.S. government: right-wingers went after liberals ("Communists"), destroying lives and careers, while the antitrust guys demanded that the studios divest themselves from their exhibition arms.

Partisans of America's Broadway stage, the "fabulous invalid" of 1920s, when pessimists feared that talking pictures would lure new generations away from live theatre, were greatly heartened when after the early successes of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie (1945), and Arthur Miller's All My Sons (1947), the promising newcomers followed up their success with A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) and Death of a Salesman (1949). World War II over, a glorious new theatrical era appeared to be underway.

Though I had a won-der-ful time on vacation, I do love the movie conversations. Some recent comments I wanted to respond to (for the patient and/or longwinded-like-me among you).
Clint totally approves of the Jodie Foster casting of God of Carnage (I agree that it's interesting and I hope she pulls it off) but I'm sure he'll be relieved to hear that Matt Dillon is no longer with the film. Not me.
Er... okay, I don't know which husband is which.
I was actually just discussing this with friends recently who had all seen the play and were kind of annoyed that John C Reilly will be playing Kate Winslet Jodie Foster's husband. He's not... handsome. Hollywood loves to pair anything from average to ugly men with ridiculously beautiful women, but it's clearly audience pandering to feed male ego fantasies: i.e. I can have / deserve to have a supermodel in my bed, »

You will not like something about this list. In your mind, undeserving inclusions and unthinkable omissions probably abound. That is as it should be. Film, for all the scholarship, expertise and pretense that surrounds it, remains, like all art, firmly subjective. Feel free to tell us what we missed, what we misplaced, or congratulate us on a job well done, if you feel so inclined. Just remember to keep it clean, civil and respectful. With that said, these are The Moving Arts Film Journal's 100 Greatest Movies of All Time:

No movie springs from a vacuum. There are always influences from past examples of the genre, from the previous work of the filmmakers and stars, even from similar films that don't quite work. If you want to understand where a movie is coming from, take a look at where it's coming from. In For Colored Girls, Tyler Perry makes his first foray into serious drama -- instead of asinine comedy -- about the lives of contemporary black Americans. This flick sprang from (among other films): • Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) -- written by Perry and starring For Colored Girls' Kimberly Elise -- which opens with the kind of domestic-abuse melodrama that his new film deals with head on, but bizarrely instantly veers away into slapstick comedy. • The Princess and the Frog (2009), for more from another of Girls' cast, see -- or, rather, hear -- Anika Noni Rose »

The Elia Kazan Collection, featuring 15 films and Martin Scorsese and Kent Jones's A Letter to Elia, is clearly the release of the week. "Gathering every feature Kazan made between 1945 and 1963," writes Sam Adams in the Los Angeles Times, "including five not previously released on DVD, in a handsome two-volume set that also includes an illustrated coffee-table book, the collection fills some major gaps in his body of work, especially toward its end. Considering the familiarity of Kazan's best-known films — [On the Waterfront], East of Eden, A Streetcar Named Desire and A Face in the Crowd, for starters — it's hard to imagine one of his greatest could have been almost forgotten. But a single viewing of 1960's Wild River confirms that. With its vivid colors and engrossing CinemaScope compositions, Wild River is visually enthralling in a manner more characteristic of contemporaries like Nicholas Ray and Vincente Minnelli than Kazan." »

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of spending about 45-minutes on the telephone with Michelle Williams, who is not only one of America's finest actresses — and, at 30, will probably remain one of them for decades to come — but who is also a deeply intelligent woman; a devoted single mother; and a real survivor. (She's also not bad on the eyes!)
Williams became a star at the tender age of 17 on the hit TV show "Dawson's Creek" (1998-2003) — I remember when it happened because I'm about the same age as her and often tuned in. She proved that she had the acting chops to match her looks in a number of early films, but especially "Brokeback Mountain" (2005), for which she received a best supporting actress Oscar nod. She attracted the interest of the tabloids when she first began dating her "Brokeback" co-star Heath Ledger, with whom she would eventually have a daughter, »

Earlier this year Martin Scorsese unveiled his most recent documentary, 'A Letter to Elia.' The film, co-directed with Kent Jones, is a "mini-masterclass" on the late Elia Kazan, a fellow filmmaker best recognized for directing 'A Streetcar Named Desire,' 'East of Eden' and 'On The Waterfront.'
'A Letter to Elia' opened at the Venice Film Festival before moving around the world, making stops at high profile venues like Telluride and the New York Film Festival, before settling down on DVD this coming November 9th as part of the Elia Kazan Collection, a new 18-disc set honoring the Turkish-born director.

Whilst continuing my "Best in Show" column for Tribeca Film, I decided it was high time to highlight Jesse Eisenberg from The Social Network and this is why. Here at The Film Experience though, it's time for Oscar trivia! Though I would love to see Eisenberg win traction for Best Actor, he has something else working against him besides the subdued performance: his age.

Tonite, you've got the choice of not one, but two documentary films making their television premieres. After Venice, Telluride and Nyff premieres, PBS are wasting no time in releasing Martin Scorsese/Kent Jones documentary A Letter To Elia on American Masters [9:00-10:30 Pm/Et]. Kazan the honoree was not always so reserved and retiring. Elia Kazan the director bravely and artfully confronted some of the more pressing social issues of his time: topics such as class division, bigotry and corruption. His courage and talent behind the camera delivered some of Hollywood's most unforgettable cinematic achievements, such as A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), On the Waterfront (1954) and East of Eden (1955). His leadership and tutelage elicited Oscar®-Winning performances from screen greats such as Vivien Leigh, Anthony Quinn, Marlon Brando and Eva Marie Saint.

A few months ago I got to visit the set of The Thing (the prequel to John Carpenter's classic film with the same name) and while on set I got to speak to almost the entire cast – along with a few other online reporters. As you might imagine, getting to visit the set was an awesome experience and you can read all about it here.
Anyway, the lead in The Thing is a great Australian actor named Joel Edgerton. If you saw the movie Animal Kingdom, he was one of the leads in that. But since most of you probably missed it, perhaps you recognize him from Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith as he played Owen Lars.
During the on set interview, Edgerton talked about why Australians are playing American alpha male characters, doing accents, if he feels any pressure being the lead in a big science fiction film, »

A Centennial Salute to Composer Alex North
Beverly Hills, CA: The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences will celebrate the career of Alex North (1910-1991), the 15-time Oscar®-nominated composer, with a centennial salute featuring a screening of The Misfits (1961) on Friday, September 24, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The event also will include film clips and an onstage discussion hosted by journalist and film-music historian Jon Burlingame, with Oscar-nominated composer Laurence Rosenthal, producer Steven North (Alex's son), and North's biographer Sanya Henderson.
Between 1951 and 1984, North received 14 Academy Award® nominations for Original Score and 1 for Song. He finally took home an Oscar statuette in 1985 when he was presented with an Honorary Award "in recognition of his brilliant artistry in the creation of memorable music for a host of distinguished motion pictures."

Performing opposite each other is nothing new for real-life married couple Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley. They met while doing Charles L. Mee's production of "The Trojan Women: A Love Story" Off-Broadway, playing the iconic lovers Dido and Aeneas—admittedly within the parameters of Mee's quirky spin. The actors subsequently tackled Lizzie and Starbuck in "110 in the Shade" at the Pasadena Playhouse, and Fiona and Tommy in L.A.'s Reprise production of "Brigadoon." Danieley and Mazzie sing together in cabarets, concert halls, and on a CD (dubbed, appropriately enough, "Opposite You").Still, none of their joint ventures was on Broadway, though individually each boasts a roster of Broadway, Off-Broadway, and regional credits. As they tell it, acting together on Broadway had been a long-standing dream. The two actors love lighthearted fare, they insist, but were seeking meaty, serious roles, citing "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" as a project they'd »

Intergovernmental Transfers Have Facilitated State Financing Schemes
GAO-04-574T, Mar 18, 2004
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Medicaid, the federal-state health financing program for many of the nation's most vulnerable populations, finances health care for an estimated 53 million lowincome Americans, at a cost of $244 billion in 2002. Congress structured Medicaid as a shared fiduciary responsibility of the federal government and the states, with the federal share of each state's Medicaid payments determined by a formula specified by law. In 2002, the federal share of each state's expenditures ranged from 50 to 76 percent under this formula; in the aggregate, the federal share of total Medicaid expenditures was 57 percent. Some states have used a number of creative financing schemes that take advantage of statutory and regulatory loopholes to claim excessive federal matching payments. GAO was asked to summarize prior work on how some of these schemes operated, including the role of intergovernmental transfers (IGT), which enable government entities--such as the state and local-government facilities like county nursing homes--to transfer funds among themselves. GAO was also asked to discuss these schemes' effects on the federalstate Medicaid partnership and to discuss what can be done to curtail them.
For many years states have used varied financing schemes, sometimes involving IGTs, to inappropriately increase federal Medicaid matching payments. Some states, for example, receive federal matching funds on the basis of large Medicaid payments to certain providers, such as nursing homes operated by local governments, which greatly exceed established Medicaid rates. In reality, the large payments are often temporary, since states can require the local-government providers to return all or most of the money to the states. States can use these funds--which essentially make a round-trip from the states to providers and back to the states--at their own discretion. States' financing schemes undermine the federal-state Medicaid partnership, as well as the program's fiscal integrity, in at least three ways. The schemes effectively increase the federal matching rate established under federal law by increasing federal expenditures while state contributions remain unchanged or even decrease. GAO estimated that one state effectively increased the federal matching share of its total Medicaid expenditures from 59 percent to 68 percent in state fiscal year 2001, by obtaining excessive federal funds and using these as the state's share of other Medicaid expenditures. There is no assurance that these increased federal matching payments are used for Medicaid services, since states use funds returned to them via these schemes at their own discretion. In examining how six states with large schemes used the federal funds they generated, GAO found that one state used the funds to help finance its education programs, and others deposited the funds into state general funds or other special state accounts that could be used for non-Medicaid purposes or to supplant the states' share of other Medicaid expenditures. The schemes enable states to pay a few public providers amounts that well exceed the costs of services provided, which is inconsistent with the statutory requirement that states ensure economical and efficient Medicaid payments. In one state, GAO found that the state's proposed scheme increased the daily federal payment per Medicaid resident from $53 to $670 in six local-government-operated nursing homes. Although Congress and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have acted to curtail financing schemes when detected, problems persist. States can still claim excessive federal matching funds for payments exceeding public facilities' actual costs. GAO suggests that Congress consider a recommendation open from prior work, that is, to prohibit Medicaid payments that exceed actual costs for any government-owned facility.

Thanks Wiak, ordered. I tried the demo a while back and liked it. I've been meaning to buy the full version but had never got around to it.
Anyone with a similar rig to mine able to max it at 1080p? I'm kinda in the mood for some racing but I don't want a crappy port.
GRID is the game that smokes nvidia graphics cards http://techreport.com/articles.x/15651/9 http://techreport.com/articles.x/14990/13
Wiak, that review is using launch drivers. That was a year ago, that review is beyond useless at this point in time. Nividia's performance in Grid has caught up.

Rebecca J. Chan MD-PhD
Assistant Professor

Dr. Chan's research interests include investigating molecular mechanisms underlying children's myeloid leukemias, in particular juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia. Specifically, somatic mutations of the PTPN11 gene, which encodes the protein tyrosine phosphatase, Shp-2, are observed in 35% of patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia is highly resistant to standard chemotherapeutic regimens and is lethal in the absence of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Studies in Dr. Chan's lab are addressing both signal transduction pathway aberrancies and transcriptional abnormalities induced by common PTPN11 mutations observed in childhood leukemia. Elucidation of these aberrant molecular mechanisms will provide novel and rational therapeutic targets in these highly lethal diseases.

Exhibitions are still the most effective means for businesses to communicate directly with the general public. Visitors can speak with experts; see, touch & feel the product first hand. The Brisbane Boat Show is no exception. Time and again the show has proven itself to be the ultimate destination for consumers looking to purchase a boat to be able to seek, compare and choose from the wide range of product on display.
A study conducted by the USA's National Marine Manufacturers Association has found that boat shows remain a crucial part of the consumer's boat buying process. "In what NMMA is calling "the largest study of its kind," MSU surveyed more than 20,000 attendees across all of NMMA's 2008 consumer boat shows. The results revealed that 55 percent of boat buyers attended a boat show within six months prior to their purchase, according to the association. Of survey respondents, 65 percent agreed that attending a boat show actually increased their desire to purchase a boat."
