It all started with the finding of a red covered book. Fat
white lettering on it's back read; 'BARBARA'. With naughty thoughts
I pulled it from the bookcase. It was written by Wayne Robinson and
it was far from 'juicy'. The story was about a tank that wore the
title of the book. Naughty thoughts disappeared and claustrophobic
horror took its place. The main caracter in the book was an M4
Sherman tank and its crew. In DD configuration it came ashore at
Omaha Beach, Normandy and fought a bloody battle all the way into
Germany. With an atlas beside me, I read the book in one stroke of a
breath. The fascination for the M4 Medium Tank was born.
The book I have is a Dutch translation from 1965 and has some flaws,... or so I thought.
One of these 'flaws' deserved some research and got an own page: 'DD-tanks on Omaha Beach'
The book I have is a Dutch translation from 1965 and has some flaws,... or so I thought.
One of these 'flaws' deserved some research and got an own page: 'DD-tanks on Omaha Beach'
In April 1941 the US Army was shown five proposals for a design of
a medium tank. With the name Tank T6 it shows its ancestors.
It had
the same chassis as the M2A1 and M3 and the same mechanical
configuration. New was a turtle shell hull, doors at the side of the hull
and a central placed one pieced turret with a 75mm cannon and a
coaxial .30 machinegun. The front of the turret had a removable frontplate to
accomodate other weapons than just the 75mm. As with M3 there were two .30
fixed machineguns placed in the hull (beside the one for the assistant driver).
In May 1941 the Ordnance Committee gives the order that a wooden mock-up and a prototype must
be built. The first prototype, built at Aberdeen, had a cast hull. The second so called pilot
was constructed bij Rock Island Arsenal. This one had a welded hull but no turret. In September
1941 the T6 was presented at Aberdeen to the Armored Forces and the Ordnance Department. It had
a 75mm M2 cannon. For balance reasons some counterweights were placed at the end of the barrel.
In the turret were on both sides pistolports. During the first inspection changes were made.
The two sponson doors on the side of the hull were eliminated. Just as the high cupola for the
commander. Later on an order was given that near the commanders cupola a
.50 machingun had to be installed and that the front machinegun was placed in a ball for
better movement. The name, M4 Medium Tank, was in October 1941 standardized when testing was successfull.
By early 1942 the first new tanks came of the production line.
One of the first changes was deleting the doors on the side of the
hull. An extra hatch was installed for the co-driver/machinegun
operator. Underneath in the floor an escape hatch was placed. Mould
casting the rounded hull in one piece was not an easy task. It was
very time consuming and the expected 2000 hulls in a month were to
optimistic. Factories that were not equipped with mould casting
facilities were given the solution to built a hull by welding. The
tanks with the welded hull were designated M4 and with the moulded hulls
M4A1. De M4 series were build by eleven factories and hundreds of
The original M4 had the same engine and chassis as
the M2A1 and M3. The engine, a Wright built, Continental R-975 was
from origin an air-cooled nine-cylinder radial aircraft engine. But
the re-arming in the United States asked for all the aircraft engines
they could lay their hands on. Testing of diesel engines for the tanks
were not a great success, and were (for the time being) not built in the
standard M4. But when the production got on its way, the M4 (or
Sherman, as the British named it) became America's most produced
Despite all the different versions the basis of the M4 Sherman
tank changed little. The crew consisted of five men. The driver was
positioned left of the transmission. He controlled the tank with
levers. To brake the vehicle he pulled both levers towards him.
Beside him was the assistant-driver who had a .30 caliber machinegun
in front of him. In the turret, on the right-side had the commander
his place, with in front of him the gunner. In the left of the
turret was the position of the loader of the cannon.
For each of the
crew was a periscope built in. These where adjustable in height and
could turn. Except the one for the gunner, this was fixed to the
barrel of the gun, so it was always in sync with the position of
firing. Early types M4 had also slits for the driver and
assistant-driver. Later models had six instead of one periscope in
the turret for the commander, this was a great improvement for
spotting around the tank.
Entrance for the crew was in front of the hull for the driver and
his assistant and trough the hatch of the commander in the turret.
Behind the assistant-driver was an escape hatch in the floor.
As a
standard the M4 was equipped with a 75mm cannon and a coaxial .30
machinegun. This whole combination had an elevation of 25 degrees
up-wards and 10 degrees down-wards, adjustable with a hand wheel.
The cannon had a gyrostabilizer that held the barrel targeted at one
point when in movement. The cannon and coaxial machinegun where
fired electronically trough a footswitch, left of the gunner. The
turret could turn 360 degrees, electrical or by hand.
Besides the standard 75mm gun, there was also the 76mm cannon. The 76mm M1A1 cannon was superior
to the 75mm M3 cannon, even if the caliber was only just a millimeter larger. Because of the greater
velocity of the shell, the distance and penetration, the M4 equipped with the 76mm was more potent
against the German panzer. It was capable to penetrate 10cm of armor over a distance of a 1000 yards
(however, many German tanks escaped because the angle was not right, and the shell bounced of). The
British version of the 76mm was the 17 pounder (76,2mm) in the Sherman Firefly, was a much better
cannon and was more capable of penetrating German armor.
Sometimes it is difficult to find the differences in the model of the M4. The M4 and the M4A1 both had
the nine cylinder radial R975 from Continental as engine. Here is, at the back of the tank, a distinctive
differences with the later models. The M4 and the M4A1 had a horseshoe shaped cut out rear hull plate and
a double door for the engine compartment. Central in the rear hull plate was a little hole for the hand
crank to turn the engine by hand.
Because I misinterpret the hole in the rear (I thought it was for starting the engine by hand),
I received a mail from Pierre de Keuster. As a former soldier of the Belgium armoured force
(2 Lansiers) he knew all about the starting procedure of the Continental R 975. His words were
that clear, I copied most of them below.
The hand crank was not for starting the engine. With radial engines with a dry crank-case
the possibility occurred that after shutdown of the engine, the round swept oil, was not only
dropping in the 5th cylinder, but also between the piston and the cylinder and filling the
combusting chamber. When both valves were closed of the 5th cylinder, and the compression was
started, and the volume of the oil was bigger then the space of the combusting chamber, then
there was a problem. A fluid can not be pressed, and a hydrostatic block was created. When the
driver had such a situation and should start the engine with booster and the next cylinder would
ignite, then the engine would fail and the crankshaft damaged.
The normal sequence after a long period of rest was:
- The driver does his normal checks.
- Sticks the hand crank in the hole at the rear and turns it 50 times (that is one turn-over of the engine),
to check if the engine is neutral.
- When the engine is blocked: remove the sparkplugs, drain the oil from the cylinder,
replace the sparkplug, and start the engine.
With the introduction of the M4A3 and her Ford GAA V-8 engine, the back of the hull changed.
It was better covered with a slab of steel plate to protect the vulnerable rear.
During the development of the M4, it was also considered to use this medium
tank for the 105mm howitzer. When the M4 went into production, the development
started for the 105mm. Designated as the T70, two pilots where built and delivered
by the Detroit Arsenal in November 1942. The test vehicles were M4A4 tanks equipped
with the 105mm howitzers M2A1 and were designated as M4A4E1 by the Ordnance Committee.
First testing started on December 7, 1942 at the Aberdeen Proving Ground with serial
number: 5868, W-3057678. The other pilot, W-3057717, was sent to the Armored Board,
Fort Knox for testing. During testing it was discovered that the loader had to reach
above and over the gun to handle the breech. Also the continuous-pull type trigger was
not ideal. The counterrecoil buffering was evenso insufficiënt. The turret was also not
in good balance. When 30 degrees was climbed, the electric power unit, that traversed
the turret, would not work properly.
After al was fixed, the electric power unit for the turret was made manual, the breech
of the gun was redesigned, and the pull fire equipment was replaced for a trip-off firing
mechanism, the testing was continued in August 1943. The two new pilots were designated
M4E5 and had M4 welded hulls. The 105mm howitzer was type T8, it was lighter in weight
and easy to work with, in the little turret (it was later standardized to 105mm howitzer M4).
Meanwhile the storage of 105mm ammunition was increased to 68 rounds (was 58). Fourtyfive
were placed in floorracks, twentyone in the right sponson and two in the ready rack. The
Armored Board gave the go ahead after they wanted more ventilation through an extra fan
in the turret. There were more modifications needed, but the 105mm was demanded in the field,
so the production was started.
Different types of ammunition was available for the howitzer, but onboard were 42 high
explosive M1 grenades. It was not easy to hit a target with the howitzer because of the
curved trajectory. But when a hollow charge of a high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) M67 hit
the target (with a maximum of 2.5 inches/100mm) the effect was impressive.
The first production of the M4 105mm resembled the hull of the M4A3 with the steep front
plate, but this was a rebuilt M4 with the Continental R975 engine. A total of 1641 were built
of the M4 105mm before the production stopped in Februari, 1945. Most of the M4 105mm were
produced with the split flat hatch for the commander and an oval hatch for the loader. Later
models were given the cupola with the muliple periscopes.
With the introduction of the M4A3 hull and the 8 cylinder V-Ford GAA engine it came also
available for the 105mm. Production started in May 1944 and 500 were produced until September
with the vertical bogie. After September only the M4A3 with the HVSS (2539) were built before
the production stopped in June 1945.
On starboard side of the gun shield was a large hole for the direct vision telescope. This
was a vulnerable place for small arms fire. This was made smaller and was given a moveable
shield to cover it. Out of the field some complains came, concerning the missing of a power
unit to traverse the turret. The last 105mm tanks coming from the production line were equipped
with a new power unit, but came too late, as the war had ended. Another problem was the enormous
noise the engines of the M4 and M4A3 produced. The enemy could locate the tanks by listening at
the noise that was coming towards them. Often a artillery barrage was given (or low flying airplanes used)
to conceal the approach of these Sherman tanks. A better muffler system was made and installed in the
last production but these also reached the fighting forces too late as the war was ended.

By TOM McCOURTSun Advocate reporter
In compliance with the Utah Code, members of the Price River Distribution Committee met with state engineers Tuesday to discuss and organize the schedule for the upcoming water season.
The committee meets annually in the early spring to set water distribution policy.
The committee is comprised of representatives of industry, municipal users, and agricultural users.
Tom Bruno is committee chair. Harold Cunningham is vice chair and serves as industrial representative.
The municipal representative on the panel is Gary Sonntag. The agricultural representative is Dale Mathis and Robert Davis serves as river commissioner.
Two United States Bureau of Reclamation officials were also in attendance at the March 14 meeting.
The BOR representatives were resource manager Edward Vidmar and field engineering manager Curti Pledger from the federal agency's Provo office.
The meeting was conducted at the Price River Water Improvement District boardroom.
The session was also attended by representatives from the Carbon Canal Company and PRWID.
At the beginning of the meeting, Pledger gave an update about the Scofield dam spillway project.
The BOR engineering manager explained that the spillway is made of concrete that was poured during World War II with 1940-era cement.
Pledger said there is no rebar and no chemical treatments in the cement as would be used today.
Modern concrete is much better and stronger and is treated to mitigate the effects of freezing and thawing cycles.
The spillway lacks several features that will be included in the upgrade project planned at Scofield dam, added the BOR engineering manager.
Pointing to the need for a major overhaul at the Scofield structure, Pledger described how other spillways at other dam sites have failed due to a process called hydro-lifting.
Hydro-lifting happens when water running down the spillway seeps under the concrete and loosens the slabs.
In extreme circumstances, the process can lead to a failure of the concrete spillway.
Work to improve the spillway is considered to be a critical dam upgrade that needs to be accomplished soon.
Pledger said the reclamation bureau plans to replace and rebuild the entire spillway system.
The BOR engineering manager then gave a presentation on the federal government's plans for the Scofield dam improvements and the timetable for the work.
Pledger indicated that engineering plan for the spillway project will be finalized in April.
Once the plan is finalized, the federal agency anticipates that it will take at least 90 days to get congressional approval to proceed.
The BOR engineering manager indicated that he hopes to have the construction contract awarded by the end of the summer.
But awarding the contract on the Scofield spillway improvement project will remain contingent upon finalizing the engineering plans and funding being approved by the U.S. Congress.
Pledger said the spillway improvement project is expected to take two years to complete.
The federal agency does not expect to start until spring 2007.
In the interim, Pledger said work will begin to modify the gatehouse at the dam, and UDOT will construct a highway detour that will also serve as a cofferdam upstream from the construction site. He expects the highway detour/cofferdam to be started sometime this summer, and to be completed before next winter.
Pledger explained that the Bureau will mandate keeping the reservoir water level below the spillway until the project is completed sometime in 2008. For that reason, the reservoir will not be allowed to reach capacity levels for the next 3 years at least. The water level will be kept at least 6.5 feet below the spillway when construction begins, and will be kept at 5 feet below the spillway this season. A large amount of runoff water is currently being released into the price river to keep the reservoir water level at the projected elevation. This will continue through the spring snowmelt season, and will most likely happen for the next two years as well.
Understandably, many water users are not happy with the projected 3 years of lower water levels in Scofield. Many livelihoods in the valley depend on stored water. There was a discussion about the need for the bureau and state water board to work closely in monitoring the water loss to be sure that the reservoir level is not pulled down too far.
Richard Lee pointed out to everyone that if the lake level is managed at 5 feet below the spillway this year, the resulting water storage capacity is calculated to be about 52,000 acre feet of water which will be sufficient for everyone's needs.
2006 is expected to be a good water year for farmers, but there was some discussion about going into next winter with low water reserves in the reservoir. Water users are nervous about being at the mercy of the weather for the 2007 and 2008 water seasons.
PRWID manager Phil Palmer questioned the Bureau of Reclamation officials about funding for the project. He explained that it was his understanding that no state money has been approved for the highway bypass and cofferdam construction yet.
Pledger said that he had been assured that state money was available, and Richard Lee told everyone that state money is being allocated from federal highway bridge funds pledged to the state, and not from the UDOT budget. Money is available to begin the highway detour this summer, he said.
River Commissioner Robert Davis then presented an annual report that summed up water usage and distribution in the Price River drainage for 2005, and gave an account of financials. He said that today there is calculated to be 36,521 acre feet of water in the Scofield reservoir, as compared to only 10,658 acre feet for this same time last year. He expects 2006 to be a very good water year.
In other business, the Price River Distribution System chairman, water commissioner, and board, were reinstated for another year. The remainder of the meeting was then taken up with routine budget and housekeeping matters.
Those in attendance were told that recent legislation has given the state water engineer power to investigate water rights issues. Water rights violators, those who use or waste water belonging to another person or entity, may be subjected to fines and penalties up to $5,000 per day for willful violations.

I was very excited about Samsung's Unpacked event from a few days ago, but I can't say the same thing in the aftermath, now that I've seen what the South Korean company has come up with.
After expecting at least one true innovation, I could not find anything that would make me want to upgrade from the Galaxy Note 3 to the newly announced successor.
On paper, Samsung Galaxy Note 4's specs have been boosted in all aspects, but the upgrades do not seem to bring any real advantages when it comes to user experience.
Let's start from the beginning. The Galaxy Note 4 is heavier, larger and thicker than the Galaxy Note 3. It's 0.2mm thicker and 8g heavier, but let's say that this is something that lots of Galaxy Note users might not notice if they are used to carrying such big devices with them all the time.
Even though both Galaxy Note 3 and Note 4 pack 5.7-inch Super AMOLED displays, the latter comes with a QHD screen that supports 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. While this does sound incredibly cool on paper, it doesn't bring any benefits to the user experience, on the contrary.
Apart from the fact that you will hardly notice any differences between the full HD display of the Galaxy Note 3 and that of the Note 4, the QHD display will drain your battery even faster.
Whatever Samsung or other handset manufacturers will tell you in presentations about these QHD displays, no matter how hard they try to make it more battery efficient, they will still suck more energy than full HD displays.
During Samsung's Unpacked 2014 Episode 2 event from Berlin, the company's officials talked quite a lot about the "new" S Pen, how it was enhanced to mimic better handwriting while using it on the phone's display and how you can do even more things with it on the new Galaxy Note 4.
Well, who cares about the S Pen? I've never seen anyone using it on their Galaxy Note phablets and I'm pretty sure that a very small percentage of people actually use it at its full potential.
So why is this even part of the Galaxy Note launch if people barely use it? Perhaps Samsung wants you to use this gimmick or perhaps due to the fact that the company did not have anything else to tell us about the Galaxy Note 4?
Now let's talk a little about the phone's hardware. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 packs the latest Qualcomm chipset for high-end devices, the quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor clocked at 2.7GHz.
However, Samsung also made its own Exynos 5433 chipset for a variation of the Galaxy Note 4, which accommodates an octa-core processor clocked at 1.9GHz. Both versions of the phablet come with 3GB of RAM.
The amount of RAM is the same as in the Galaxy Note 3 and the Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.3GHz that's been included in this model is powerful enough for anything you might throw at it (apps, games).
I agree, it's nice to have another, more powerful processor inside each flagship smartphone. In fact, this might be the only improvement that some Galaxy Note 3 owners might take into consideration for a Galaxy Note 4 upgrade.
Moving on to the camera, we all know how crappy Samsung's cameras are in comparison to competition such as Nokia and Apple.
Even though Samsung has bragged about the fact that it's not about the number of megapixels, but the technology and components behind the camera, during the Galaxy Note 4 launch event, the phablet was announced with a 16-megapixel main camera.
This is a slight improvement in the amount of megapixels over the Galaxy Note 3, which packs a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera. I have the feeling that, except for the higher number of megapixels, the Galaxy Note 4's camera has the same features as the Galaxy Note 3's.
In fact, this has already been confirmed in the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 full specs sheet. Seriously Samsung? You decide to put the same mediocre camera that allows the competition to laugh at you since forever, and then you give us a speech on how it's not the number of megapixels that counts?
Oh well, perhaps Samsung Galaxy Note users don't want the same high-quality imaging technology that Nokia puts into its phones. Perhaps they want to be able to take only mediocre shots while on the move.
But the camera isn't the biggest problem of the Galaxy Note 4. It's the battery that will probably make it a flop. The good news is Galaxy Note 4 comes with a slightly higher-capacity 3220 mAh battery.
But the bad news is that it has only been improved by 20 mAh over the Galaxy Note 3 model, although Samsung added lots of hardware components that should require more energy, like the QHD display, a more powerful processor and LTE Cat.6 (300Mbps) support.
All these and Samsung promises that your Galaxy Note 4's battery will be 7.5% more efficient than the Galaxy Note 3's.
When Galaxy Note 3's battery barely lasts for one day, 7.5% doesn't mean anything, especially when you put a QHD display inside your device. So, there you have it Galaxy Note fans, you get the same battery that doesn't last for a day, so let's hope you already got used to recharging your phablet every day.
Oh, speaking of which, Samsung was kind enough to allow you to charge your Galaxy Note 4's battery faster than the previous models.
Thanks to the Fast Charging technology, Samsung claims the Note 4's battery will charge up to 50% in about 30 minutes. Well, you're going to need a lot of those 30-minute fast charges in order for your battery to last more than a day.
To make things even worse, the microUSB 3.0 port has been downgraded to version 2.0, so you can kiss goodbye to faster charging through USB now. Well, in fact that's pretty stupid at so many levels.
I mean you offer Galaxy Note 4 owners the possibility to fast-charge their battery with the charge connector, but you take away a similar option using a microUSB cable? Tell me this isn't incredibly stupid.
I haven't got any explanations for the reasons that determined Samsung to replace the microUSB 3.0 with an older generation, but from what I hear, the company made some research and reached the conclusion that most users weren't familiar with the microUSB 3.0 feature, so they decided that the number of those interested was too small for the feature to be worth putting in the Note 4 as well. Sounds typical for Samsung, right?
I would be very happy to be wrong about all that's written above, but I have a feeling that most readers will agree with me and that's not a good thing for Samsung. Hit me up with your comments below and tell me why are you still excited about the Galaxy Note 4.

I have some old cotton T-shirts that are about to retire and I thought instead of throwing them away, I could cut them up and have a lifetime supply of charcloth. I know you can make it by putting small squares in something like an Altoids can and putting them in a fire. But my question is can this also be done on my kitchen stove (electric). If so, which setting?
Jason,I wouldn't do it inside. As the gases escape they catch fire and they stink like you've never imagined cotton could!Better results will be obtained with a tighter tin. Altoid tins will work... kinda. You really need a tight tin like a snuff box. Punch one small hole in it with a brad, keep that brad handy. Toss it right into a hot charcoal fire. As the gases escape through the small hole they catch fire... and stink. When the gases stop escaping and things settle down, pull it out with tongs and immediately plug the hole with the brad so oxygen doesn't get in. If it does, and it will with the Altoid tin, your char cloth could turn to ash cloth. Let things cool down before you open your tin and viola! Char cloth for life.Also, don't do too much per batch. Smaller batches work better. Test each cooking to make sure you got it right. Takes a little practice, but it will amaze your friends.

Unbleached cotton muslin works very well (very cheap in fabric stores, etc.) Be sure to ask or check if it is flame retardant. A lot of cotton fabric for clothing (e.g. sleepwear) is treated and does not make very good char cloth, including some tee shirts. Cotton balls make very flammable char! I have used Altoids tins without any modifications. The hinge holes allow volatiles to escape as gases, but not enough oxygen gets in to burn the remaining carbonized char. Shoe polish tins also work very well, but seal so tightly that a vent hole is needed. It is absolutely critical that any container be allowed to cool completely before being opened or the char will indeed ignite. Good char cloth is great stuff, and only needs a very small spark to catch. I use a very small Burt's Bees lip balm tin as part of my survival kit to make char for a long-term survival situation; just enough to light a couple of fires, that can in turn be used to make another batch of char for the next fires. For that I would use native materials (shredded cedar bark, punky wood, grasses, etc.) as the raw material, since I generally don't wear any cotton out in the bush.
I've got a feeling this is going to be a long thread ;-)
I made some char cloth from some cotton shop rags. I've also used old cotton t's.I used an altoids can with a small hole in it and instead of a fire I put the altoids tin on my canister stove. It worked great.
wow... it's been a while since I've delved into that...Anyhow, Gotta echo the comments above:1) Wouldn't recommend doing it in the house2) Unbleached Cotton Mulsin is great (as it Untreated Linen), t-shirts CAN work, but results can vary due to differeing amounts of chemicals used in production. I find cotton flannel is pretty decent...3) Make sure watever container is nice and tight... I use altoids tins with successMy normal way is to toss said tin on some coals and watch the volatiles billow out (I punch a single small pin-hole in the top of the altoids tin so I can watch the smoke easier) when it's stopped smoking for a while, it's done.There's a bit of an art to figuring out how much to pack in the tin or not... too much won't char properly... too little can actually burn...

Jason,Thank you for posting about this.Wow, do I feel ignorant--I've never heard of char cloth before. Now I can't wait to try this.Todd
I've never heard of char cloth before, either. A quick search on google found a definition on Wikipedia (inserted below). It sounds kinda cool, but messy. Is char cloth really worth the hassle to make? I'm rather partial to trick birthday candles - the kind that don't blow out in the wind because they, well, don't blow out in the wind.From Wikipedia:Char cloth is cloth (linen or cotton) that has been combusted in the absence of oxygen. It is easily ignited by even the weakest of sparks.It has been used as tinder, often in conjunction with flint and steel, for firelighting for thousands of years.
Eh, depends... if you take cotton balls + vaseline, or tinderquik tabs, you probably don't need it. Char-cloth is the long-time standard for catching sparks from flint and steel.The main benefit is that you can make it on the trail as you use it.
You can buy a big bag of cotton flannel gun cleaning patches at Walmart for next to nothing. They are the perfect size and make really good char. Best tinder I've found is oakum rope caulk.In reality, the buckskinner likely didn't make char cloth. Linen and woven cotton cloth would have been a precious commodity. More common char would have been made from punky wood or timber fungus. Timber fungus works well and burns a long time like incense. They found timber fungus, flint, and pyrite among the possibles of Otzi the Iceman. Circa 3300 BC.Don't even get me started on my fire pistons ;-)

Thanks for the replies everyone! I was going to head out to the woods this weekend where I can make a fire and cook up a batch but I think tonight I'll also give the canister stove method a try on my deck. I'm not going to try it inside after everything I've read. The consensus seems to be 6 minutes so That's what I'll try. I'll report back...
I Just tried it with my Gigapower stove and an Altoids tin and it worked! I'll post a video of it in my blog this weekend (too tired tonight). Very easy, very cool, and very cheap!
Glad it worked out! You really can't put a kitchen timer on your char. It's done when it's done. Let the smoke and fire die down... wait a bit longer and it's done.See ya
"You can buy a big bag of cotton flannel gun cleaning patches at Walmart for next to nothing. They are the perfect size and make really good char. Best tinder I've found is oakum rope caulk."Both interesting ideas... I may have to swing by Walmart this weekend...
Jason, can't give you anymore insight than what others have said about the cloth.Here is some info on char rope and how to make and use.This is a quote from my website: ""Came across this fire making tool while cleaning my carage.I call it rope char. It's easy to make compared to making regular sheet char. Not as fragile a sheet char.This method was used in early times for pre-flintlock guns(blunderbusts). A glowing rope was used to ignite the powder.In world war 1, soldiers in the trenches needed a means to light their cigarettes without showing the enemy a bright glowing match. At that time the "Trench" lighter was introduce. The lighter contained a charred wick/rope that would ignite easily with a spark and glow red hot enough to light em up if they had them. I saw this on the net at some point in time and made one to see how they work.It's made with a short length of alum. tubing and strands of cotton from a floor mop. The mop needs to be 100% natural cotton. If you can find a piece of 1/2 inch cotton rope use that first.put the rope into the tube, fuzz up the end of it and lite it. Let it burn for 15 sec or so and then blow it out. It will continue to have a glowing red ember on the end, the part used to start you tinder on fire when practicing your fire making skills. Now pull the glowing rope back into the tube to make the ember go out. Let it stay in the tube protected from harm.The charred end of the rope starts easily with a spark from a ferrocerium rod/sparker rod or flint and steel.""Here are some photos of the rope char tube: These are little diy ferrocerium rods that are handy for keeping on your keychain. Lightweight backpacking size. I use one to throw a spark onto the char rope for the photos.There is an interesting article here about fire making: http://www.bplite.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=63Zelph's StoveWorks

Huh... so the idea is the keep the cap around a length of rope, get the end to ember / burn smolder from a spark... use the smoldering bit to light your fire and then pull rope back over the cap and use later?
Yes Joshua, pull rope back into the tube to snuff it out. The tube will protect the charred end of the rope. use it later, light with spark. Over on www.bplite.com in the Articles forum( http://www.bplite.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=63 ), member oops56 shows how to char cotton oil lamp wick. He says it's much more durable than cotton t shirts. He uses an alcohol stove to char it inside of an altoids tin.

I replaced the mop threads with cotton Mason Line, works alot better. More dense of a weave.Nice video Jason. I'll have to do videos someday. You are an inspiration.Try charring some rope.

Bukkake blowjobs Women Stereotypes
When it comes to gender, it is easy to generalize: Bukkake blowjobs Women like shopping; men like cars. Bukkake blowjobs Women like to soak in bubble baths; insane bukkake men like to toss power tools around. But in reality, most would agree that a person�s likes, dislikes and desires are highly individual and not based purely on a single determinant such as insane bukkake sexual bukkake. Here is a look at five major myths that exist about Bukkake blowjobs Women - and reasons why such beliefs are probably better thrown to the gutter.
1. Bukkake girls insane bukkake all in a big hurry to marry and start a family. Sure, some of us are. But so are some men. And we do not all view dating as a search-and-destroy mission whose insane bukkake sole aim is to get to the altar - and from there to the maternity ward - as fast as possible. More than a few of us go out with you for the insane bukkake same reason you go out with us - to have a good time and see what happens.
2. We need men for physical protection and financial security. Unless we are actually being insane bukkake attacked, macho heroics can be a serious turnoff, so it is not necessary to lunge at every guy who looks at us in a bar. We can take care of ourselves financially, too; insane bukkake our careers are important to us, and we do not need to be rescued from them. Want us to video bukkake you? Be communicative and supportive; listen to us; offer us empathy and insane bukkake not just problem solving; show us we can count on you emotionally; and treat us like partners.
3. As 20-somethings, we are eager to date 40-something men. Yes, it is possible that insane bukkake a 21-year-old could have a great relationship with a 48-year-old. But if your bukkake dating radar is focused exclusively on Bukkake blowjobs Women who are 10, 15, 20 or more years younger than insane bukkake you, you are sending out a clear message about your immaturity - not your youthfulness.
4. Single bukkake and over 35 means we are bitter beyond redemption. We may not have made insane bukkake a permanent commitment, but we have had satisfying careers, friendships and relationships. We have explored our interests and the bukkake blowjob world. In other words, we have not kept our lives on hold insane bukkake waiting for true love to kick in. All in all, that makes us pretty attractive bukkake blowjobs women.
5. We say we want a nice guy, but it is not true. Yes, insane bukkake you know some bukkake blowjobs women! Maybe many bukkake blowjobs Women have gone out with one jerk after another. And if you are in a dating drought, it must be tempting to think insane bukkake we want to date jerks. Do not go there bukkake boy! Be the nice guy. Be a good friend. And don not hesitate to follow your heart when it wants you to be insane bukkake a good friend and something more, too. The bukkake blowjobs woman who responds to you will be the one who appreciates you for who you are.

Recurring Tasks Syntax?
I have a recurring task that starts on February 27th, and repeats every three weeks after that at 9:30am. I've entered the task as follows:
"every 3 weeks starting Feb 27 at 9:30"
Todoist created a task on February 27th to repeat every 3 weeks correctly, however it has put the alarm at 11:59pm. Can you tell me what the proper syntax would be to get Todoist to recognize the correct due time of 9:30am?
All responses
Hi Damion,
You need to make sure the time is before the date for it to work correctly. So the correct syntax would be "every 3 weeks at 9:30am starting feb 27".
Brendon, that totally worked!! Thanks so much for your help!!
Hi Brendon,
I was having the same issue and have followed what you have said for the recurring tasks which appears to work, but I am also having a similar issue for Reminders where the start date is being knocked off. Eg
I enter: 'every month at 9:00am starting Mar 11'
Displaying in the reminders as: 'every month @ 9:00am'
I am not sure I understand. You enter "every month at 9:00am starting Mar 11" and when you look at the task, it shows "every month @ 9:00am". So it does not show starting Mar 11? I am not able to reproduce this issue, I have entered it exactly as you wrote, and it works without issue.
Hi Brendon,
Here's a screengrab of what I see after entering the above into the Reminder date/time field.
As you can see there's no 'starting Mar 11' in the display.
You need to enter that into the date box (bedside task name), and not within the reminder menu area. Please tell me if it still does not work outside of the Reminder menu.
But then how do I make a reminder that notifies me every month at 9:00am starting Mar 11?
Hello Marika,
Based on the due date you want to use, you don't have to use "every month starting...". Instead, please set it to "every 11 at 9am". Even if you need the task to start later, you can still use "every 11 at 9am starting Apr 11", though in case of March 11, it will automatically set it to start in March as it'll assume that the starting date is the next available 11th.
Alternatively, you can use a relative reminder. If the task itself has a due time, then you get access to relative reminders which can be set to "1 hour before deadline" or even "0 minutes before deadline" letting the reminder arrive at the deadline.
Best regards,
Hi David,
Thanks for the response, I've used the 'every 11 at 9am' for my monthly recurring reminders and it seems to be playing nice.
I am however having a bit of trouble with reminders on a fortnightly recurring task. I tried using the relative reminders ('72 hours before deadline') but I just get an Invalid date message. It seems to accept 'every 14 days @ 9:00am' but when does the 14 days begin? Is it based on the task date or the date I entered the reminder?
Sorry these maybe dumb questions but it's doing my head in!
There is no option for 72 hours when using Remind Before Tasks Due Date, that would be 3 days, are you saying you can not select 3 days as an option?
It seems you want to have the reminder go off at the same time as the tasks due date, which would be 0 minutes before though, is that not correct?
Hi all,
The syntax for recurring tasks gets a bit confusing -- not as intuitive as
it could be. I'm sure I'm missing it in my searches, but is there a
comprehensive guide with lots of examples?
My problem is that I created a task on the iPhone app with this in the date
every day before 12pm
Now, on the Mac desktop app, I can't seem to complete the task. When I
click in the complete box, it just gives me the "sync" bars animation and
doesn't do much else.
Hi Dan,
You can refer to this page for more examples of recurring date synax: https://todoist.com/Help/DatesTimes

This release is available in German.
The "magnetically best shielded room on earth" has the size of an apartment block and is located on the site of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Institute Berlin. Magnetic fields such as that of the earth are kept out here as effective as nowhere else. Such ideal conditions allow to measure the tiny magnetic fields of, e.g., the human heart. This was the motivation for the American National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to ask PTB to jointly test a newly developed optical magnetic field sensor. It is based on a physical principle very different from SQUIDs, which are usually applied for biomagnetic field measurements. The optical sensor does not need advanced cooling and has the size of a lump of sugar. A high-quality measurement of the human heart signal was demonstrated using this optical sensor. The sensor's suitability was thus proven for biomagnetic measurements in the picotesla range. In future magnetocardiographic measurement devices to be used as a supplement or an alternative to the ECG could become simpler and less expensive.
Up until now one had to cool as much as one could for biomagnetic measurements! This was necessary as SQUIDs, superconducting quantum interference devices, work optimally at -269 degrees Celsius and can only then fulfil their purpose of measuring tiny magnetic fields. SQUIDs are the best suited sensors to record the magnetic fields arising during the electrical activity of the human heart. A magnetocardiogram (MCG) can be compiled supplementing a conventional electrocardiogram (ECG). (The same applies to the magnetoencephalogram, MEG, which is a recording of the magnetic field of the brain.) Yet to use SQUIDs requires well-shielded rooms and complicated cooling systems. The latter might become obsolete in the future if the optical magnetom

In what has been a seemingly never-ending winter, Ernest L. Prievo can now easily track how much time has been spent on snow plowing in the village of Carthage and how much sand and salt has been used, as well as determine the labor costs associated with the work.
Thats because Mr. Prievo, the villages water superintendent, has been using some new operations management technology that shares highway data among Carthage and 14 other municipalities in Jefferson and Lewis counties. The system is called the Joint Infrastructure Management Initiative.
The 15 municipalities have worked together for the past four years to improve management of their highways and other assets.
Using GPS units, the municipalities can keep better track of water, sewers, storm water, signs, bridges, signals, labor, equipment and materials.
In an effort to become more efficient and cut costs, they also can share, store and view data, reports and forms using shared servers and a web browser.
And now Cartegraph, a leading provider of operations management system technologies, has honored the project. The JIMI project is one of 10 municipal organizations in the nation that Cartegraph selected for its first ever Excellence in Operations Management award.
Mickey D. Dietrich, GIS Specialist for the Tug Hill Commission, said he was glad to hear that Cartegraph found that the 15 municipalities were working smarter and improving their communities.
Every day, theyre finding new uses, he said about officials involved in the program.
Established in 2010, the Joint Infrastructure Management Initiative project obtained a $704,000 state grant to help the municipalities store, share and view data to help reduce costs and redundancy.
In addition to Jefferson and Lewis counties and Carthage, Croghan, Denmark, the village and town of Lowville, Martinsburg, Adams, Alexandria, Champion, Clayton, LeRay, the town and village of Philadelphia and the village of West Carthage also are involved in the program.
Four years ago, Transmap Corp., Columbus, Ohio, used vans equipped with high-definition video cameras to digitally map hundreds of miles of roads in the municipalities. As a result of the Cartegraph system, the JIMI project gives the municipalities Internet-based access to the information that was gathered, Mr. Dietrich said.
Through the project, 1,379 miles of roads; 20,100 signs; 5,755 culverts; 1,491 storm water sewers; 1,024 hydrants; 832 manholes; 416 water valves, 410 bridges and nine meter boxes were recorded. If something goes wrong with them, the municipalities know about it immediately, Mr. Dietrich said. Such information can be used to create tasks and work orders, he said.
The system is capable of doing such small tasks as recording vehicle identification numbers or as complicated as helping municipalities figure out detailed costs for in-kind services when applying for grants.
Mr. Prievo has used it to track overtime costs for snow plowing this winter in Carthage, he said.
Its been a long winter, he said. It will help us budget for next winter.

Call Me Nighthawk
It doesn't help he's a young African - American boxer. Which seems to be the most hated category.
Broner, Berto, Ward, Dawson, Dirrell, Bradley, Mayweather, Alexander
Some of the most hated on boxers by the public yet some of the most talented and skilled boxers. Its mostly a style thing.
For some reason this new boxing public generation thinks you should stand in the middle of the ring throwing and brawling till someone falls.
Y'all rather see blood then skill.

No surprise here though, gotta pull the race card whenever possible.
Call Me Nighthawk
They are boring because they actually box, not just brawl. Since they box the way they want to get a win and not the way you want to see them box they are boring.
Hence why Rios is highly likeable because he throws skill out the window and just pressures and goes for the KO every time and right now he gets the job done. But when he runs into that one boxer who beats him with skill y'all will cry about it being boring and how dude ran. Its pathetic .

Guerrero is a better fighter than Alexander, and now that the Berto fight proved he can fight at welterweight I have no hesitation in picking him to beat Alexander.
Mi Vida Loca
Dirrell, Mayweather, Broner and to a certain degree Bradley are heels. They are intentionally acting in a way where people will want to see them KO'd. They are playing a role to make money / fame.
Dawson, Alexander i disliked because they are incredibly boring. Among the most boring fighters that get exposure today.
Ward is not hated at all. Perhaps by a select few but so is Froch, Pacquiao, Marquez, Cotto etc.
Call Me Nighthawk
You can say race card.
But the fact is most African Americans box and this is boring to the public now.
So I'm just connecting the style to the race which uses it the most which happens to be the most boring style.
Alexander and the other boxers I name choose to use skill and box to defeat their opponents and they have done a pretty good job (except Berto who I shouldn't had included, just did because he gets hated on he has the least skill out of this list)
While guys like Rios rather get their face beat off to land punches, didn't now boxing turned into a tough man comp.
Alexander aside from the possible Mayweather fight . Will not lose for a long time

Guerrero makes Alexander his b1tch.
Robert is mentally and physically stronger and is more skilled.
Call Me Nighthawk
I'm not gonna argue this point anymore, no one will change their opinions.
I will move on saying Alexander would beat the Ghost.
I will take bets on that fight. In fact aside from.the Floyd fight I will bet on Alexander in his next 5 fights

Renewable Revolutions; US Military Goes Green & Big Wins for ForestsDecember 21st, 2010
Renewable energy had a fantastic year what with Google's investment in offshore wind and the Chevy Volt – the first mass-produced entirely electric car.
Chris Flavin, the president of The Worldwatch Institute, joins host Daphne Wysham to discuss the worldwide successes in renewable energy, and giving us an in-depth view of wind's successes is Michael Goggin, transmission policy manager for the American Wind Energy Association.
China's advancements in clean energy is inspiring the United States to finally take direct action – but the answer is mostly military. Joining us to decipher China's plans, and the American response, is the Institute for Policy Studies' Miriam Pemberton.
Brazil has succeeded dramatically in protecting its rainforest from deforestation. Joining us to discuss how Brazil did it, and how other countries could follow their lead is Doug Boucher, the director of the Tropical Forest and Climate Initiative at the Union of Concerned Scientists and Leila Salazar-Lopez, the Rainforest Action agribusiness campaign director.

"Get a whole new high from H & I"

If you answered "yes" then here is your opportunity to give back what has been so freely given to you.
The SFVCA H&I Committee meets the 1st Monday of every month (4390 Colfax Ave) at the church on the corner of Moorpark & Colfax in North Hollywood (MAP)
7:00 pm H&I Orientation
7:30 pm Business Meeting
A Newcomer may thank you!!
The sole purpose of the Hospitals & Institutions Committee is to carry the message of Cocaine Anonymous to those in hospitals and institutions. Institutions served may include, but are not limited to: correctional facilities, sanitariums, detox units, juvenile detention centers, half-way houses and shelters - either governmental or private. Confinement may be voluntary or involuntary.
The Committee is organized under the Ninth Tradition of Cocaine Anonymous, which states: "C.A. as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve." C.A. H&I meetings are held at the invitation of the hospital or institution, ever mindful of the admonition "Cooperation, not Affiliation!"
What are Hospitals & Institutions Meetings?
There is a distinct difference between H&I meetings and regular C.A. Meetings. H&I meetings are restricted to patients or residents only, and not open to the community as a whole. These meetings are brought into facilities by local C.A. members, through the H&I Committee. H&I Meetings are basically beginners meetings, with the chairperson of each meeting providing the speakers. They are not usually listed in the area or world directory; and they do not observe the 7th Tradition. Certain facilities may require H&I participants to be subject to sobriety requirements, dress and conduct codes.
"Open" H & I Meetings
In some cases a hospital or institution may request the H&I meeting be open to the C.A. community as a whole. This type of "Open" H&I Meeting may or may not be listed in the area or district meeting directory. However, as with all H&I meetings, the 7th tradition is not observed. In addition, free books and literature are limited to clients of the institution only.
Cocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of, by, and for cocaine addicts seeking recovery. Friends and family of cocaine addicts should contact Co-Anon, a Fellowship dedicated to their much different needs. We regret being unable to offer links to non-C.A. sites, due to our longstanding tradition of non-endorsement of outside enterprises, whether related to our goals or not. While we are grateful for all links from other websites, we do not endorse any product, service or opinion offered by any outside organization.

It is said he brought the « power of the imagination to Europe ». Mainly thanks to his illustrations… Gustave Doré has illuminated a big part of the 19th century with black, verve and humour! Discover the « Doré » way of life thanks to the beautiful exhibition the Musée d'Orsay dedicated to him until June 5.
It is true that the Musée d'Orsay is a cult place for all those who love 19th century art in Paris. The former train station revisited as a museum was the ideal place to present this big exhibition about Gustave Doré (1832-1883), mainly celebrated for his incredible etchings of the works of Dante, Rabelais, Hugo or Balzac.
Original or imaginary. This time, in stead of just stopping at the illustrations that may have made the French artist famous, the exhibition meticulously reveals all the other sides of his work and his talents. From drawing to painting, from watercolour to sculpture. Often original or imaginary, the inspiration of Doré is expressed in all ranges of emotion!
If they could, they would have been your roommates in Paris. Verdi and Wagner would stayed at Hotel Opera Cadet...like you ! They could reach easily the Opera Garnier. Enjoy until March 16, the proximity of this beautiful monument dedicated to music and opera to celebrate these two sacred monsters of the opera !
They have had two hundred years both in 2014. Sharing the same birth year, they have not been presented during their life time. The Opéra Garnier, in partnership with the BNF , decided to meet Verdi and Wagner posthumously.
Lyrical breath ! Your visit to the Opera Cadet do not miss lyrical breath as a few minutes walk you will be in the company of Aida creator and Tannhäuser father ! Or rather exciting memories and documents illustrating their lives and their works and performances. Visit the museum library opera until March 16 ! http://www.operadeparis.fr/blogopera/exposition-verdi-wagner

Christina Hendricks in November's Harper's Bazaar
Body Fatigue: Christina Hendricks Is Not the Only Size-14 Beauty
Like us on Facebook
Yet in seemingly every interview lately, she's gushing over the positive effect her body has had on women. In November's Harper's Bazaar, she discusses her mass appeal. "Women hit on me. My husband thinks it's so odd that so many women hit on me." But things get odder when gay men do, too. "They say to me, 'Well, I'm not straight, but if I was . . . '"
To be fair, she's not asking the questions or writing the stories, so the media probably deserves the real wag of our fingers. But for a woman who said, as recently as February, she'd talk about anything but her body, I question what's up. Her confidence? Or the media's insatiable interest?

America: Land of Opportunity (to get cancer)
"Moving to America will increase your cancer risk by 400%."
In a recent Ted Talk, Robyn O'Brien (author of "The Unhealthy Truth: How Our Food Is Making Us Sick and What We Can Do About It.") recently shared her insight as to why moving to America will increase your cancer risk by 400%.
This information has been ignored for too long and is definitely the reason President Obama tasked his Cancer Panel with studying the long-term effects of exposure to known carcinogens and environmental toxins.
…And maybe it's the reason so many empathetic (sic) politicians pushed for a US/Mexico border wall a few years back. They didn't want to increase the risk of cancer for the immigrants. Those who signed the bill, I apologize for once thinking you were archaic, xenophobic, nationalists. It is now quite clear that you are all a bunch of sweethearts.

Good one, Joe!
Thanks, Lynn!
Depressing though…

Franklin Graham doesn't seem to understand the concept of rights. He thinks that getting uninvited from speaking at the Pentagon means his rights have been violated. Politico reports:
The only reason his invitation was dropped, Graham said, was that "a couple members of the Pentagon who are Muslim objected about me coming."
"I feel my religious rights are being denied here because of what I believe," the evangelist said. "I believe Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life…I believe that because of my beliefs, that's why I'm not being given the opportunity to speak."
Except that you don't have a right to be invited to the Pentagon to speak. You have an unalienable right to express your religious beliefs, of course, but that doesn't mean the government has to invite you to speak and give you a forum to express those views — especially when doing so might well undermine the country's ability to fight a war without prompting an even wider one by declaring an entire religion "evil."
The constitution provides absolute protection for your right to believe whatever you want. The government cannot arrest you for expressing your views, it can't prevent you from expressing them in any way. But it doesn't have to provide you the forum to do it and offer an endorsement of it by allowing you to speak at official government events. Not inviting you to take part in such a forum does not violate your rights in any way.
