The term "un-Australian" is, I feel, thrown around far too infrequently these days. Every day it seems I come across literally dozens of situations that could easily be dubbed un-Australian with just a little bit of pluck and imagination. Long queues at McDonald's, people driving at 85 in a 100 zone, Indian restaurants — all of these and more seem to me to be getting off lightly.
Fortunately, however, we do retain SOME standards, and it's pleasing to see that there are still citizens willing to stand up and call an un-Australian spade an un-Australian spade, as in the case of the federal government's proposed poker machine reforms, or as they are officially known, the Raping The Country Act 2011.
Is there anything more un-Australian than interfering with a fellow Australian's right to play the pokies? Is there anything more antithetical to the freedoms upon which this nation was founded than standing in the way of good honest commerce and throwing a spanner in the works of the traditional Aussie larrikin's gambling spirit? How soon we forget the words of Henry Parkes, who said in 1883, "I dream of a united Australia, in which a man is free to enrich himself by the strength of his arm, to improve himself by the sweat of his brain, and to entertain himself by putting money in a slot and watching lights flash for a few hours". So the question really must be, what does Julia Gillard think she will gain by urinating on the Constitution and vomiting blood on the memory of our founding fathers?
But let's all pause and take a deep breath here. Not the gamblers, of course, you keep playing; but the rest of us, let's stop a minute. It would be unfair, although justified, to criticise the pokie laws without fully understanding what they're all about. So, what will the Raping The Country Act mean for me and you?
Well, what it's all about is "mandatory pre-commitment", which means that before playing a poker machine, you have to decide how much you're willing to lose, and swipe a card. Then, under careful watch of a squadron of armed Marxist guards, you can play up to your limit, and then you will be thrown out onto the streets and kicked in the head and knees by Greenpeace volunteers.
So let's examine that proposal.
First of all, if you want to have a bet, you'll need a CARD. I don't think I need to demonstrate the powerful parallels with Nazi Germany here — they are self-evident and I suppose if Julia Gillard wants to introduce such a blatantly anti-Semitic reform that's up to her.
Secondly, think about the consequences of not being allowed to punt without deciding how much you're willing to lose. How that will cramp our styles! Who knows how much you want to lose before you start? So often I sit down at a pokie thinking, I'll just drop in a quick tenner. But a few days later I realise that actually I want to lose $50,000. This legislation will rob us of the ability to CHANGE OUR MINDS. In other words, thought control. In other words, the government is trying to steal our brains. In other words, 1984.
But the restriction of individual freedoms and the blighting of the simple pleasures in life is not even the worst part of this plan. There is also ... the COMMUNITY. If these reforms pass, the COMMUNITY will suffer. According to professional estimates, mandatory pre-commitment technology will cost the average club up to two billion dollars to implement, and will slash up to 95 per cent from club revenues. Many clubs will be forced to close. Many other clubs will be forced to whine.
And this means that the rivers of gold which clubs bestow on local community groups and sporting organisations will run dry. Is that what you want? Do you want everyone to be poor and all our kids to grow fat and greasy because the pokie cash didn't come through to pay for their hockey rink? It would seem the federal government does.
Apparently the Gillard Government loves to see doughy, idle children, stuffing their faces with jelly snakes and never going near a squash court. Make no mistake — this is a government that hates sport. Take note of the comments of public intellectual and social researcher Battlin' Eddie McGuire, who very rightly denounced the pokie reforms as a "footy tax", putting his finger on the crux of the problem: illiteracy.
No, sorry. I mean the crux of the problem is footy. We all like footy, don't we? Do we want to return to the dark days before 1992, when poker machines were legalised in Victoria, followed shortly afterwards by the invention of football? Do we want to effectively kneecap the AFL, which without poker machine revenue will be unable to pay the massive fees to the television networks to broadcast their unpopular and little-watched games? Do we want to cripple the NRL, which without poker machine revenue may have to discontinue its highly successful Respect For Women and Where's The Toilet education programmes? Can we afford to just ignore the words of noted man-about-town and mental health advocate Jeff "Missionary Position" Kennett, who is as wise on the subject of why we need to support pokies as he is on the subject of how to prevent depression, or keeping gays away from children.
So given that the new poker machine reforms are objectively bad, immoral, un-Australian, and will cause diabetes, why is the government so keen on them? Do they just hate people having fun? Do they want to crush the dreams of those who are trying to better themselves through judicious gambling? Are they out to weaken community ties to the point that resistance will be feeble and ineffective when they send the helicopters in to firebomb the steel factories and make us all marry our dogs?
Yes, probably. But the main reason, of course, is that due to the cunning collective scheming of the Australian electorate, we ended up with a minority government, forcing Gillard to rely for power on the support of Andrew Wilkie, a man who wouldn't know a good night out at the Tabaret if it leapt out of his trousers and conducted a brutal military bastardisation ritual on him. This prune-mouthed recreation-Nazi is intent on ruining everyone's life just to satisfy his own perverted sense of "social justice". He claims he wants to help the "gambling addicts", but I say, Andrew Wilkie, it is YOU who is addicted: to MEDDLING. You are an interference-addict, and it's time we staged an intervention. First, we make you play the pokies for a few hours. Then, we take you to the V8s. Finally, a duck-hunt. He'll get the message.
I hope we can resist this tide of do-gooding — if there's one thing that's un-Australian, it's doing good. And if there's one thing that IS Australian, it's sitting in front of a machine for hour upon blissful hour, watching the lights, listening to the bleepy noises, and shovelling in dollar upon dollar before going home sometime the next day with a happy feeling of money well-spent and a warm glow in the pit of your stomach that is more satisfying than any prosaic "food" you could theoretically have purchased with your money.
This un-Australian un-Australianness must be stopped. Don't let a jumped-up little Taswegian regulation-monger ruin it for everyone. It's our right as Australians to gamble, and it's our right as Australians to do it as much as we want, and it's our right as Australians to have no money. Stop trampling our rights, Julia, and let us have our pokies without let or hindrance.
We honestly have nothing better to do, seriously.

I can go far better than Clubs Australia in terms of civil liberties. I say let everyone who wants to have their own poker machine at home. See you and raise you Mr Ball.

Your suggestion that we wake Andrew Wilkie in fright, as it were, is an excellent one. A few days living like one of his so called addicts will blow his small 'l' liberal mind.

Great stuff - but the sad fact is that if this article found its way into one of our 'mainstream' newspapers almost nobody would recognise the satire and it would be taken literally as clarion cry for us all to send ourselves broke at the pokies.

Excellent riposte sir!
Posted Friday, September 30, 2011 - 12:18
I've got an idea!
How bout we put all the publicly listed companies into the pokies and let everyone have a go on the share market. Waiting for the payout is bound to keep us all coming back for more. Could improve golf memberships too.

Perhaps poker machines could just be named more realistically. Instead of 'Show me the Money' or Queen of the Nile' they could be called 'The Rent', 'Prescription Medicine' or 'The Cash I Owe my Mother'.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball team will have a tall order to fill tonight when it takes on the defending Class 4A champions.
Los Alamos meets the Roswell Coyotes in the first round of the Poe Corn Invitational tonight. The Poe Corn, one of the oldest continuously held basketball tournaments in the state, gets going today in Roswell.
In recent years, the Hilltoppers have been a regular at the Poe Corn. In 2009, the Hilltoppers finished third in the tournament, topping co-host Goddard in the third place game one night after struggling against the Coyotes.
The Coyotes, who held on to upset the Española Valley Sundevils in the 2009-10 Class 4A championship, were ranked second behind those same Sundevils in the most recent coaches' poll.
Roswell (4-2), which also won the 4A title in 2008-09, might not be the same team it was during its championship runs, having already lost this season to Portales and, just a week ago, to Los Lunas, 73-61.
While the Hilltoppers (3-8) have gotten off to a rocky start, they will head into tonight's game having won two in a row. Following an opening round loss to the Pojoaque Elks at the Ben Lujan Invitational last week, Los Alamos knocked off Peñasco and Taos to finish in fifth place.

Manufacturers: Craft Parts for the 2012 Focus to Ford's Specs
|The SEMA Tech Transfer program has expanded to include CAD files for the 2012 Ford Focus, including the 2.0L engine with an air cleaner and exhaust manifold and front and rear fascia/bumpers.
In addition to accessing files directly from OEMs, another key benefit of the Tech Transfer program is that the database is constantly expanding. While the CAD data mentioned above is available immediately at www.sema.org/techtransfer, additional components can also be requested from Ford through the program.
The intent of SEMA's Tech Transfer program, available exclusively to SEMA manufacturing members, is to minimize or completely eliminate the necessity of reverse engineering to produce products. The program houses a database of CAD files provided by participating OEMs, which currently includes Chrysler, Ford, General Motors and Scion.
For more information on the Tech Transfer Program, visit www.SEMA.org/techtransfer, or contact SEMA at 909/396-0289 and ask for Gary Pis (ext. 6732) or Oscar Muñoz (ext. 6731).

Toki Tori 2 has been released for almost three weeks now, time for a small patch!
We all know that no game is perfect, especially not at launch. But fortunately Nintendo made it possible to update Wii U eShop titles. So let's make use of that!
During the past weeks we read a lot of reviews, checked out our Miiverse communities and read various forums. Yes, we were eavesdropping on you guys! :) Anyway, based on that info we compiled a list of low-risk issues that were relatively easy to address in a quick first patch. A second patch/update is also planned, but that will take a lot more time, as it will be more involving.
So… what did we change? Apart from some obvious bugs, there was one issue that has been raised quite frequently:
"Okay, I finished the room with that 'thing' ... now what? Where do I need to go? How do I get to that strange creature?!"
Even though we feel that we added enough hints for people to figure out what they need to do, we noticed that a number of people completely missed those hints and got stuck. Of course, they can always ask for a solution on Miiverse, but giving you a solution on a silver platter obviously doesn't feel as rewarding as it is to solve one by yourself. So more hints were added in this patch.
Apart from addressing that issue, we also improved the game and fixed a number of other issues. So without further ado: the full release notes:
- Improved the flow of the game after reaching the room with the 'thing'
- Added another super-secret area
- Fixed a bug where Toki Tori was invisible after returning to the game
- Fades between levels now fade the audio too
- Simplified the puzzle in the underwater passage
- Fixed an issue when the TokiDex was completed in the photo room
- Some back- and foreground elements got a fresh coat of paint
- When all the collectibles in a level (or the entire game) are collected a melody will play to notify the player
- Fixed a rare bug where the player completed the game, but the end scene wouldn't trigger
- Various level tweaks, based on Miiverse feedback
The patch is currently at Nintendo's rigorous testing facility, so it will hopefully be available within a couple of weeks. We'll keep you posted on that! Meanwhile, as always, feel free to let us know your thoughts on this!
Great, an update… but what is Toki Tori 2?
Just in case you completely missed the news about Toki Tori 2, here is a trailer that shows you what this game is all about!
Today, May 8th 2013, the update is released in Europe and the US! Enjoy!
After updating, Toki Tori will be positioned at the beginning of the last level you played.
Even more excited for the computer version!
Hey, as long as the updates are free, bring 'em on!
Great to see a patch so soon with many improvements while the game is already so great. Looking forward to the added super secret area :)
Hi, will this patch address the yellow marker pegs on the touch screen while viewing the overworld view? I tapped on my touch screen and it took the yellow pegs and scattered them randomly throughout my screen. I tried to click on them to remove them, only to place MORE pegs where I did not intend. I do not even understand what the pegs are for, but it would be nice to remove or even relocate them once placed.
Bugfixes are great but I don't agree with adding hints or simplifying puzzles after the game is released. It's a puzzle platformer... it's supposed to be challenging. There's help available online for people who want it. Don't dumb it down for the rest of us.
No worries, the game won't be dumbed down. It's still a difficult puzzler :)
Here is my French translation that describes the update for the fans of Toki Tori 2.
My Nintendo Network Id is GHOSTDEATH, i am happy to help you Two Tribes :)
* Amélioration du rythme du jeu après avoir atteint la salle avec la «chose»
* Ajout d'une autre zone ultra-secrète
* Correction d'un bug où Toki Tori était invisible quand on retourne dans le
* Les transitions entre les niveaux coupent aussi le son dorénavant
* Simplification du puzzle dans le passage sous-marin
* Correction d'un problème lorsque le TokiDex a été complété dans la salle
des photos
* Certains éléments de premier et d'arrière-plan ont bénéficié d'une couche
de peinture fraîche

Après la mise à jour, Toki Tori sera placé dans un endroit sûr à l'intérieur de votre dernier niveau sauvegardé. Ce n'est pas forcément là où vous avez quitté le jeu!
Pour être sûr qu'aucune progression dans le jeu ne soit perdue, quittez simplement un niveau et entrez dans un nouveau niveau avant de faire la mise à jour.
@GHOSTDEATH : good translation, except for "Fades between levels now fade the audio too"
I would say here : "Un fondu audio est désormais appliqué lors des transitions entre les niveaux"
Merci Damien , j'avais pensé cela mais quand j'ai essayé le jeu , le son était complétement coupé et je n'avais pas réalisé que le patch n'était pas encore appliqué à cause de la nouvelle fonction de la Wii U qui installe la mise à jour automatiquement quand la console est éteinte donc je me suis dit que la phrase en Anglais était mal rédigée .
For Fades between levels now fade the audio too
Les transitions entre les niveaux s'accompagnent maintenant d'un fondu sonore
*le me enjoying this game*
*le enemy tries to catch me*
*me le gusta* xD
Hello, this is not a request, this is a beg. I'm begging you here with my true name and surname (I'm not ashamed of it) to NOT SIMPLIFY THIS GAME even a bit.
If someone finds that a certain puzzle is too difficult, or wants to know the exact path to somewhere, make an easy mode for him, but don't destroy what I consider the BEST DESIGNED PUZZLE GAME EVER MADE.
You have a master piece here, you did GREAT with EVERYTHING.
If someone want's to destroy this experience, make an "idiot mode" for him, but don't make us feel like idiots instead.
@Francesc don't worry. The game is still a tough challenge :) Thanks a lot for the kuddos though :D
Thanks to you for making such an awesome game, I'm a bit relieved now if you say that this update won't change the experience.
I have now played through Toki Tori 2, missing just just a few items, maybe even just one, and want the world to know:
This game is a blast! It was worth its price, and more! I would have paid €20, and that's before the level editor is added!
People need to try this! It's a rare gem amongst the grey rocks of today's gaming industry!
(Looking forward to Toki Tori 3...)
Thank you, Two Tribes!
Thanks NNID! We are working on a level editor and it will be included in a (free) update later this year!
You may need to look at the PC code, it seems at the very first part of the first level I run into slow down.
As my computer displays in 2560 x 1440, and I get a lot of slow down in the very first level.
Hi Kyle, thanks for letting us know. We already addressed this issue in the Steam version. So when you receive the next (upcoming) beta, this problem should be gone.

BetterPhoto Member: Suzanne C. Ellinwood
Hi my name is Sue Ellinwood and for the past 30 years photography has been my passion. It has been a wonderful hobby for me, from basement darkroom, color slides and now the amazing world of digital. In 2002 I purchased my first digital camera, the Canon D60 and I've never looked back... I am a member of the Fall River Camera Club and enjoy time spent with my fellow camera buffs. Along with our own competitions the club competes with the New England Camera Club Council and Photographic Society of America. Better Photo's web site has recently given me another great way to meet wonderful people (like my BP mentor Mary) and to experience a whole new way to express myself with my photographs.

When the temperature drops, you'll have the warmest kid on the block with this beautiful Alpaca balaclava. The all-natural fibers of alpaca wool are soft, silky and very warm.
Let your child feel warm, protected and dry in this adorable balaclava. It comes in natural white, mocha, grey, and chocolate (the darkest option).
Naturally breathable, eco-friendly fair-trade alpaca wool from the Andes Mountains. Designed and produced by high-quality Danish brand Esencia.
Merino wool:
Merino is naturally anti-bacterial, self-cleaning and water repellant, and rarely needs to be washed. Just hang it up and let it air out. (Yes we were skeptical once, too, but you really ought to try.) If you find spots you can't wipe off with a damp cloth, however, our merino can be machine washed cold. We recommend that you use a liquid wool detergent, and avoid fabric softeners, laundry powders and bleach.
Janus merino wool can also be tumble dried on low temperatures, but we recommend that you line dry your merino out of direct sunlight if you can. Bock merino wool is not to be tumble dried.
Alpaca and llama wool:
Alpaca and llama wool should be hand washed with a specialized, liquid wool detergent, and no softener. Dry flat, and avoid sunlight when drying.
0-3 months 19–24.5 inches 50–62 cm 3–6 months 25–27.5 inches 62–68 cm 6–12 months 28–31.5 inches 68–80 cm 12–18 months 32–34 inches 80–86 cm 2 years 3 feet 0 inches 92 cm 3 years 3 feet 2.5 inches 98 cm 4 years 3 feet 5 inches 104 cm 5 years 3 feet 7.5 inches 110 cm 6 years 3 feet 10 inches 116 cm One-size One size fits all.

Running Mini-Setup during restore of a Domain Controller (Ws2k8 R2)
Hey again. I'm currently trying to restore a backup created in System Recovery 2013 and was wondering if I should select to run Mini-Setup.
I am trying to restore to a Domain Controller running Windows Server 2008 R2, but when it gets to the setup screen after image has been restored it complains about parsing the unattended installation file, something to do with specialized? It then asks me to reboot the PC, and then goes to the setup is preparing your computer for first use screen, at which point another error appears stating that the computer restarted unexpectedly.
I'm not really sure why it is doing this. I can only assume it doesn't like Mini-Setup on the Domain Controller? Moreover, do I even need to run Mini-Setup in this situation. I'm really not sure, bit worrying...
Comments 1 Comment • Jump to latest comment
Hi John,
Are you trying to restore image of domain controller on different hardware?
If you are restoring on the similar hardware there is no need to run minisetup.
Please refer to best practices article: http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/symantec-... which is still applicable to SSR 2013

out of 53 user reviews
"Move the old version out of the apps folder before"
Version: Apple Aperture 3.0
Like it aside of my Lightroom but
... it is a bit to much iPhoto like now with face recognition and places. A kind of iPhoto Pro ...
If you rename your old version only to eg, Aperture 2 update loop always proposes Aperture 3 as new
"This is frustrating software."
Version: Apple Aperture 2.1.4
It manages images very well, Great for cropping, sizing and enhancing.
Needing an application to make fabulous picture albums - be prepared to be FRUSTRATED. Design of the application lacks focus and consistency. No full-page page-layout view, no floating menus. HELP is next to useless..
How can this be an APPLE product - it certainly doesn't look like one. Actions are spread all over the screen and simple tasks like managing the style template are not explained in the help. And because it works differently than the i-work sweet it's not intuitive. Want to cut and past text from one page to another - you can't.
Very disappointed.
"Very powerful program with some sorely missing features"
Version: Apple Aperture 2.1.3
Very high quality output, great DAM and professional layouts and tools
no possibility to create presets, no CA correction. No distortion correstion, no gradient.
"Top of the Range, superb Photo Organiser and Editor +"
Version: Apple Aperture 2.1.2
The layouts' very well thought out and tools are easy to find/use. On a new Mac it's fast, reliable and helps the user be creative. Easy to navigate and use but producing pro level results, it's a great tool for pro and amateur photographers.
Nothing. Version 2 is a vast improvement on the initial offering.
If you're a Mac user who's serious about photography or just want a tool to organise shed loads of photos combined with the ability to fix/manipulate them as well as having pro print options and several other user friendly features such as web albums etc. then consider trying/buying this software. I'm hoping for a Windows version for use at home.
"Head and shoulders above lightroom"
Version: Apple Aperture 2.0.1
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I used lightroom till I started trying Aperture. Now I think there are only a few small things that are better/ I like more than in Aperture. Those are exclusive picture correction tools like "noise correction" and the gradation curve. Maybe these things become integrated by Apple one day.
Over all in my opinion Aperture is the more professional and effective tool.
"Much Improved over Version 1.5"
Version: Apple Aperture 2.0
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
In general I had no problems installing the Demo on a Mac Pro 2x3 Ghz Dual Core Xenon with 4 GB and OS 10.5.2. I renamed version 1.5 and left it sitting. I did not touch my original library file. I did import almost a thousand photos, Raw, Tiff and Jpeg. Response seems much better when browsing. Converting for external editor (Photoshop CS3 or Lightzone) seems faster as well.
I have the full retail version on order and am looking forward to leaving iphoto behind and using Aperture exclusively for DAM.
Version: Apple Aperture 2.0
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Why is this?
in USA 199$
in UK 129GBP= 251$
in EUR 199EUR= 292$
Thank you
Furthermore Aperture 1.6 is really very slow. Open a smart album with 150 pictures sort by a keyword, you can wait 1 min.
"Aperture learning curve -- to appreciation"
Version: Apple Aperture 1.5.2
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Last week I took a 3-hour hands-on Aperture workshop offered by Apple at a local photography company. I was amazed at all the Aperture can do, how easy it is to use, how much less space edited RAW images take up, and a lot more! Once the files are imported into Aperture, the workflow is much faster that Photoshop/Bridge. I discovered a lot of shortcut keys at the workshop too....
I don't like to read manuals and haven't read much about using Aperture. I have read several Photoshop/Bridge training books over the years and have used (and loved) the Adobe software. I teach Photoshop workshops.
Aperture rocks! I realize now that it is a different approach to digital image editing and photo management. I plan to buy Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 1.5 by Orlando Luna and Ben Long and spend a couple of days learning how to use this amazing program.
Version: Apple Aperture 1.5.2
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
it made my life easier and i prefer it over lightroom.
it's waaaaaaay better than v.1.0.
(on a macbook pro, intel core duo 2.16ghz, 2gb ram).
"runs like a really fat pig"
Version: Apple Aperture 1.5.2
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
beautiful application. I'm looking forward to a time when I can use it. Excellent one stop for post production. I just don't have all day to wait for images to load when other apps just pop.

Technique note: I also carry about 3 off 1.6 mm Ti wire stakes with the windscreen. They help to keep the foil standing upright and in the right place. A few grams, yes, but very time-saving
Edited by hikin_jim on 12/11/2011 21:45:50 MST.
Just in case you are a bit leery of full cover windscreens over canister stoves, please note that Snow Peak has marketed a windscreen that goes over the burner and supports, but is above the canister and nozzle. Only problem is that it is a little heavy, over 2 oz. So, a Ti pot bottom was used to make a knock-off. Here is a photo of the SP screen on the left, the Ti knock-off on the right:Here are front and top view photos of the knock-off screen installed:The Ti knock-off is under one oz. and has seen extensive use with no problems.As you can see, the Titanium gets darker and discolored when exposed to the heat, but it doesn't effect the function.Not only does the screen make it easier to use the stove in windy conditions, but it also adds to the life of the canister. I used to get 4 1/2 days from one of the Coleman canisters, and now get at least six, making the one canister safe to last for a week. A day's use for me is a dinner, boiling a liter of water, adding some to a dried food mix and simmering that for 10-15 minutes, then adding some more water and boiling another half liter for tea and washing utensils; then boiling another liter in the AM for tea and hot instant breakfast with gourmet coffee powder. Multiply that by six, and that is what I'm getting from the one canister; so only one is needed now for seven days of trekking. The more expensive canisters don't last as long, so I don't use them. It may be that the ones with Isobutane might be better for cold weather use. Don't know - have never tested them.The titanium was cut with a high speed Black & Decker rotor tool using a small diamond coated wheel sold by Dremel as an accessory. Holes were drilled for the center hole, and at each end of each slot. The diamond wheel was then used to cut out between holes to make each slot.I would not use the stove with the screen in a tent, due to the probability of increased carbon monoxide; but have used it often just outside the tent floor under the tent awning in the rain with no problems to date.

What pot bottom did you end up using. I have been looking at a few of the Snow peak that my Local shop has, but I dont want to cut up a $40 pot if I dont have to. My other option was just to TIG one up out of the foil I have from TiGoat.
Ti goat all the way. just got my material and going to make something soon.
Jim,Sorry, it was too long ago, and I must have discarded the remnants. Can advise that the max diameter at the lip is 4.5", while the heavier SP one is 4 19/32". The slightly smaller diameter did not make a difference in fitting the windscreen to the stove. As I remember it was not a very tall pot, so it didn't have the capacity I wanted, and was sitting around unused.There are Ti pots from companies like Evernew that can be found heavily discounted. This one nests perfectly for storage over the bottom of an Evernew (REI) Pasta Pot that I like because it holds the larger Coleman canister, and more water than the MSR and SP similar models. Only negative is the cover that clips over the top, rather than nesting inside it. I wrote them, and they feel strongly it is part of the pasta making design. So be it.
Edited by scfhome on 12/14/2011 00:24:48 MST.
Denis Hazlewood made on out of a Snow Peak bowl years ago that works pretty well.Related thread here.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=45927&skip_to_post=394927#394927
I would like to see some more pics of wind screen for snow peak stoves. I have be making mine soon.
Inspired by this thread, I looked through my assorted Ti cookware and decided that my SP Trek Ti bowl is the best candidate to become a UL windscreen for my SP GST-100. So I'm thinking that the bottom will look like Denis' and the height will be cut down to the top of the pot supports like the stainless SP windscreen. I'l post pics and weight when I get something operable.Thanks for sharing all of the info here.Eric
Eric,Glad you are going to cut the bowl down to below the tops of the pot supports, as with SP's heavier screen. Otherwise, you might get a lot of CO. But Roger would know better than I.Too bad SP couldn't just make a lighter screen
I am sure many people have used this inverted conical fustrum shape before, but this design seems to be a very light weight way to achieve wind protection. The photos are of my prototype made of aluminium flashing which weighs in at 18 grams. I plan to build it in Ti foil once I have used it for a few more nights to check on the size of openings required to provide air to the burner. I also need to tidy up the closure mechanism.The small diameter opening fits around the lip of the gas cylinder and seems to make it relatively rigid. The large diameter is sized to provide a 1cm gap at the base of my MSR pot. It stores flat against the pad in the back of my pack.
I give you another idea to hang up the windscreen.I used 2.5 mm2 copper wire.If you're wondering why these unnecessary holes are drilled at the bottom:This windshield is also used for my esbit stove.

here is my knock up of a conical windscreen/heat reflector top viewDecided to make this after a rather worrying situation where the wind, was causing the flame to whip UNDER the burner and down to the canister!

I thought it would be fun to combine my

So Things I love... that are also totally awesome:
New Hair color & cut!
What do you think?

I still love my Zander boo though! (duh) You cant really be mad at a face like this:
I am actually proud of his strong arm,
though now we need to make sure he knows not to throw

Its all fun and games until someone loses an eye ball!

Legislation will reopen one of the most divisive battles in the Jewish community.
Contact: Rabbi
Elliott Kleinman, 212-650-4000
New York, March 9, 2010 - For 2,000 years, Judaism has treated
Jews-by-choice the same as Jews-by-birth. We are taught "as soon as a convert
emerges from the mikvah (ritual bath) she
or he is Jewish for all purposes." (Talmud, Yevamot 47b)
For 62 years, since its founding, the State of Israel, through
the Law of Return, has welcomed Jews from around the world as citizens in the
world's only Jewish state.
Today, legislation before the Knesset - a bill sponsored by MK
David Rotem of Yisrael Beitenu that addresses both the authority of the Chief
Rabbinate and matters of conversion - threatens both of those sacred principles.
This legislation will certainly reopen one of the most divisive
battles in the Jewish community. The proposed legislation will lead to a
situation in which Jews-by-choice would be treated differently and denied
recognition as Jews under the Law of Return, in direct contradiction of Israeli
Supreme Court rulings. Additionally, it may lead to the delegitimization of all
non-orthodox conversions performed outside of the State of Israel.
Our concern is neither partisan nor denominational, but emanates
from true love of Medinat
Yisrael and Klal
Yisrael (the State and people of Israel). With the unity of the
Jewish people foremost in our thoughts and prayers, we urge the government and
the Knesset to affirm core principles of that unity when enacting any
legislation. We call upon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister
Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman to withstand the pressures of
a small segment of the political spectrum and to do what is best for all Jewish
people everywhere.
The Reform Movement calls upon the State of Israel to treat all
religious streams of Judaism fairly and equally, a cause that is far from
realization. We call upon the Knesset to reject this partisan attack on the
majority of American Jews. Finally, we call upon the Israeli people to join with
us in an effort to help Israel live up to its promise as a Jewish and democratic
If Israel wants the support of American Jews, it should accept those who claim to be American Jews. My granddaughter would not be considered Jewish by Israeli Orthodox rabbis although she has been brought up as a Jew and had her Bat Mitzvah. However, her mother has never converted. I say: either accept those Americans who claim their Jewish heritage or those Jews will not support Israel. We are either important to Israel or the minority Orthodox outweigh us. Israel, DECIDE!
This is a disaster, it is for sure going to divide Israel and Disapora Jewry.
Giving all the powers to Orthodox...how Jews b choice would feel? As they are not Jews.
Israel has to stand up against it, is a ''massacre'' !!!
Cape Town, South Africa
Who needs to worry about religious extremists in the Arab world, when we have our extremists in our own midst. Great civilizations have been destroyed from within, rarely from without. Get the message before it is too late.
As a Jewish convert who has loved and defended my people and the State of Israel for a long time, I have to say this hurts.
I understand Bibi has proposed that non-Jews have to take a loyalty oath to "pledge loyalty to the nation-state of the Jewish People". I wholeheartedly agree that this would be a step in the right direction. While Israel continues to debate the topic over accepting converts into the Jewish religion, no one can deny the importance of the security and nationalism for the Holy Land of the Jewish People.
