Hello Gents,
Bare, after several attempts also known as destruction testing ... a well made glue joint is typically stronger than the surrounding material (when using wood). So although a spar with slots is in its unassembled form is logically weakened ... after proper assembly is as strong as though the thing had no slots.
A long time ago I was a member of the EAA and I spoke to one of the experts there who told me that upon inspection a sample glue joint must be provided ... the assembled parts are then torn apart .... the rule is: the glue must hold! the wood can break. Seemed reasonable then as today. I tried this on several test spars .... the result was always the same, the spar broke but never at the glue joint. ofcourse this neat little trick only works if you have a good fitting glue joint. Slop will not work.

Hallo from the Darmstadt area.
Just to avoid confusion...I designed the Horten III that previously built here on RCG. Uwe (TailSaw) helped by reviewing and providing feedback on the aerodynamics. The CAD files are available to anyone as they have been posed to the scalesoaring.co.uk site. I'm also very willing to share the aerodynamic files (.flg) if anyone is interested.
As far as helping you out on the design/CAD work for your design(s)... sure but probably but not for the next few weeks.

Erm OK But So what?
The glue won't break first.. No news there.
But certainly the Material that it's glued to, at 90 degrees to the material's inherent strength directions.. Will.. break first.
Result is the same Is it not?
A typical single 2x4 piece of construction lumber will support an automoblie in Tension And Compression.
IF one can hold the thing vertical /and steady :-).
I find it Elegant to fully exploit the inherent strengths advantages of the materials used.. Bit more labor involved to do so though.

Hello Gents,
Brian, technically speaking all i would really need is as previously suggest a set of drawings with the ribs shown perpendicular to the main spar ... the rest is not too bad to do by hand. If you can do this that would be fantastic but likely it is a bit of work even with a PC to assist. Time wise I am nowhere near a build right now as the garage needs to partially converted to a shop to actually build models. So of later in the year .... ??
Bare, yup the result is the same, I was replying to another comment that I understood to mean that a slotted main spar would be weaker because of the slots ... that is to me however not really true. A well made glue joint was the point I was going after and a simpler less involving way to build a wing and get good results. A spar cap would still be there (top and bottom of-course). Since I tend to hand cut-build early everything with wings I am looking for a simpler way to get to the end result. Straight as opposed angled cuts are one way to do that.
I am a traditional builder (old fashioned in other words) and stuff like cabon fiber or fiber-glass (or similar high tech stuff) is something I a not a big freind of. Not that there is anything wrong with those materials but my models are so light that as rule they do not need this type of material. Simple plywood and balsa is all that is needed and as result the models are simple and affordable to build.
I greatly admire the high tech stuff and am amazed at what builders accomplish with it ... but I like wood, it smells good does not cause rashes or requires the use of safety gear (cutting carbon comes to mind here). Simplicity is my thing.

Ribs aligned with airflow, nerdy comment.
If you want to get really nit-picky about rib angles, first fly a wing with ribs where convenient, but with wool tufts or threads where ribs wanted, fit a camera in a short mast to observe the wool tufts etc at best angle, probably vertical. and then you know the TRUE alignment of ribs for local airflow, (which aint fore and aft of course) as those angles vary root to tip. Repeat over a range of speeds, angles of attacks for better accuracy. This procedure needs to be done both over and under the airfoil, since the angles will differ,(if they didnt there would be no induced tip vortex). You might find therefore that half ribs would be needed, half for top side and half for bottom, although a strangely twisted rib might be able to do both. If the foregoing procedure seems unduly complicated, just stick the ribs where convenient, probably little measureable difference, or cut a foam wing and skin with something smooth and pretty.

Tom Brokaw Diagnosed With Cancer — Journalism Icon Continues Working
Famous journalist Tom Brokaw had sad news to report today: He's battling cancer. The NBC legend, who just turned 74 on February 6, tells fans that despite the upsetting development, his physicians are encouraged by his progress and he's still "the luckiest guy I know."
Tom is battling multiple myeloma, a cancer that targets the blood cells of bone marrow. He received the diagnosis last August at the Mayo Clinic and has been receiving treatment. Throughout it all, he's kept working for NBC, where he's been since 1966.
Tom's recent projects include a two-hour documentary on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He's also stopped by TODAY, Meet The Press, and Nightly News With Brian Williams and is currently helping cover the 2014 Winter Olympics for NBC Sports.
Tom released a personal statement earlier today addressing the matter.
"With the exceptional support of my family, medical team, and friends, I am very optimistic about the future and look forward to continuing my life, my work and adventures still to come," he wrote. "I am very grateful for the interest in my condition but I also hope everyone understands I wish to keep this a private matter."
Our thoughts are with Tom as he and his family face this battle together.

text: When it comes to anti-aging ingredients, retinol reigns supreme. It's the purest form of vitamin A, which works on a molecular level to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, stimulate and maintain the production of collagen and infuse the skin with radiance from the inside out. But enough science. When it comes to retinol in skincare products, nothing beats RoC. This Parisian skincare company was the first to stabilize retinol 25 years ago and has since dedicated itself to slowing the signs of aging. This summer, RoC released a new line of retinol-based skincare products, and we couldn't wait to give this skin-smoothing formulation a try. The Retin-Ox Correxion collection includes an eye cream (it's a rarity to find retinol in an eye product), a line filler and an anti-wrinkle serum, as well as retinol-rich moisturizers for night and day. The line feels luxurious on the skin, but what we're most impressed by is the ingredient list. From the nourishing anti-wrinkle cream to the smoothing anti-wrinkle moisturizer, each product in the lot features a fusion of the following wrinkle-busting workhorses. Here's what's inside: Pure RoC retinol: Retinol speeds up cell growth and quickens the pace of rejuvenation in the upper layers of the epidermis, all while increasing skin density and minimizing the appearance of inelasticity. Hyaluronic acid: Also known as hyaluronan, it works to plump and smooth the look of wrinkles by binding water to the skin for extra moisture. Biopeptides: These amino acids help boost the functioning of the retinol. The collection is standing by retinol, its hero ingredient, because nothing kicks wrinkles' butts quite like pure-form vitamin A. The RoC Retin-Ox Correxion line consists of the following products. Retin-Ox Correxion Smoothing Anti-Wrinkle Moisturiser – Day, $49. Retin-Ox Correxion Nourishing Anti-Wrinkle Cream – Night, $49. Retin-Ox Correxion Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Serum, $50. Retin-Ox Correxion Instant Wrinkle Filler, $58. Retin Ox-Correxion Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream, $36. All products available at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Arrive Alive: Watch how much you drink
Watch how much you drink! This is the warning from Brent Batson, head of Arrive Alive. Batson was speaking with reporters in Couva on Friday evening. Batson said while road fatalities have gone down in 2010 by 13 per cent when compared to 2009, the public should always be vigilant. He said heavy fines were being imposed on motorists, and people with respectable jobs were being hauled before the court for failing the breathalyser test. Batson said police have stepped up the breathalyser test.
Some important facts
Batson said one should always watch what they drink for the holidays.
Batson said a shot of rum or whiskey may have the same amount of alcoholic content
as a beer or a glass of wine.
He said people should not exceed more than one drink per hour and always avoid consuming alcohol if driving.

Cee Lo Green Prepping for Las Vegas Show!
March 04, 2012 08:00 AM by Shayla Perry
Cee Lo Green has some big plans in store after wrapping up this season of NBC's The Voice. The award-winning artist is getting ready to star in his own show at the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood — "Loberace." Keep reading for all the details.
The Voice's Cee Lo Green is moving to Sin City, but not just for the glitz and glamor (and girls).
Known for his bigger-than-life performances, the singer is making the move in preparation for his upcoming show, "Loberace," which will take place at Planet Hollywood from August 29th through the end of 2012.
"Loberace" promises to "combine Cee Lo's flamboyant sense of style and over-the-top creativity," offering musical tributes to artists from Prince to the Rolling Stones, and will also feature "mind-twisting magic and sexified showgirls."
Yup…sounds like Cee Lo.
"I love the city. I can't wait to be a part of it. I can't wait to be officially there," the "F**k You" singer tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Having recently starred in a commercial for Sin City, Green is hoping to keep Las Vegas at the top of everyone's list of favorite destinations for years to come.
"From this generation I would just like to be able to carry on, and pick up the torch and continue to make Vegas a place to be."

Wednesday, February 6, 7 p.m. (ET)
Hinkle Fieldhouse - Indianapolis, Ind.
Live Stats | Audio | Video | Tickets
NEW FOE: Butler will wrap up its brief, two-game homestand when it faces first-time foe St. Bonaventure on Wednesday, Feb. 6. The 7 p.m. (ET) Atlantic 10 Conference contest at Hinkle Fieldhouse will be televised on CBS Sports Network-Regional (seen locally on WNDY-TV). St. Bonaventure will be the seventh consecutive Butler opponent making its first visit to Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Bonnies (10-10, 3-4 A-10), who are coming off a 68-60 home victory over Duquesne, have won three of their last four games, including road wins at Temple and Saint Joseph's. The team's lone setback in the past four outings came at home to a red-hot Saint Louis squad, 67-57. Butler bounced back from a loss at Saint Louis to defeat Rhode Island, 75-68, in Hinkle Fieldhouse on Saturday (Feb. 2). The win lifted the Bulldogs to 18-4 on the season and 5-2 in the A-10. VCU currently leads the A-10 with a 6-2 record, while Butler is tied with Saint Louis and Charlotte for second place. Just one game in the loss column separates the top nine teams in the A-10 standings! The Bulldogs will continue a stretch of first-time opponents on Saturday (Feb. 9) when they travel to Washington, D.C., to meet George Washington in a 2 p.m. (ET) game.
Butler has won 18 of its last 19 February home games.
HOME STREAK: The Bulldogs, who are 11-0 in Hinkle Fieldhouse this season, have won at least 10 home games in 18 consecutive seasons. Butler is 223-32 at home over that 18-season stretch, including three unbeaten home records. Butler's current seniors are 51-8 in Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Bulldogs have five of their final nine contests on their homecourt.
Butler is 80-11 in Hinkle Fieldhouse under head coach Brad Stevens.
POLLING PLACE: Butler continues to be nationally-ranked in both the Associated Press national poll and the USA Today Coaches Poll. The Bulldogs are ranked No. 14 this week in both national polls. Butler's victory over No. 1 Indiana on Dec. 15 vaulted the Bulldogs into the "Top 25" of both major national polls for the first time since November of 2010. The Bulldogs joined the A.P. "Top 25" at No. 19 and the Coaches Poll at No. 25.
Butler is ranked in the national "Top 25" for the eighth consecutive week.
LAST OUTING: Butler used a sizzling second half shooting performance to erase a halftime deficit and pull away to a seven-point win over visiting Rhode Island. The Bulldogs, who trailed by as many as nine points in the opening 20 minutes, began the second half with a 13-0 run to take a 43-32 lead, and Rhode Island was left playing catch-up for the rest of the contest. The Rams did cut the margin to four points, 72-68, with a minute to play, before Butler scored the final three points at the free throw line. The Bulldogs hit 13 of 22 (.591) shots from the field, including three of six from beyond the three-point arc, and 16 of 18 (.889) attempts from the free throw line in the final period. Butler scored 12 of its final 14 points from the charity stripe.
LEAD ROLE: Senior Rotnei Clarke led the Bulldogs in scoring for the third consecutive game, since returning from a neck injury that sidelined him for three-and-a-half contests. The 6-0 guard topped all players with 23 points against Rhode Island, including 13 in the decisive second half. Clarke has scored in double-figures 15 times in his 19 games this season, and he's had at least a share of Butler's scoring lead in 13 of those contests. The Arkansas transfer has scored 20 or more points eight times this season and 20 times during his collegiate career.
Rotnei Clarke has averaged 21.3 points since returning from his injury.
FORWARD LOOK: Butler forwards Roosevelt Jones, Khyle Marshall and Kameron Woods combined for 38 points and 14 rebounds to help spark the Bulldogs past Rhode Island. Jones finished with 18 points, including 13 in the final 20 minutes, and six rebounds, while Marshall, who tallied 11 points in the opening period, posted 13 points and three rebounds. Woods came off the bench to add seven points and five rebounds. The three front court players helped Butler to a 32-25 rebounding advantage in the victory.
GRAND EFFORT: Senior Andrew Smith became the 34th Butler player to score 1,000 career points during the Bulldogs' victory over Rhode Island. Smith, the lone current collegiate player who has played in two NCAA Division I national championship games, hit the 1,000-point mark with his third tally against the Rams. He enters this week's action with 1,005 career points, 13 points shy of Bruce Horan (2002-06) in 33rd place on the all-time Butler list. Smith joins former teammates Matt Howard (1,939 points, 2007-11) and Shelvin Mack (1,527 points, 2008-11) in Butler's 1,000-Point Club.
CHARITABLE WORK: The Bulldogs connected on a season-best 24 of 27 (.889) free throws against Rhode Island. Butler missed one free throw in the first half and two in the second. The visiting Rams were nearly as good, hitting 24 of 28 charity tosses.
CLASS MOVE: Seniors Andrew Smith, Chase Stigall and Emerson Kampen became the fifth Butler class to record 100 victories with the Bulldogs' win over Temple. Over the past three-and-a-half seasons, the trio has helped Butler to a 101-34 record, including this season's 18-4 mark. The 101 wins places this year's senior class in fourth place on the Bulldogs' all-time list. The Butler senior class record for victories is 118, set by the 2009-10 class of Willie Veasley and Nick Rodgers.
QUICK START: Butler head coach Brad Stevens has moved into sixth place on the NCAA Division I list for Best Career Coaching Starts By Wins, 6 Seasons. The Bulldogs' coach, who boasts a 157-44 record, trails Mark Few (Gonzaga, 2000-05), Dave Rose (BYU, 2006-11) and Roy Williams (Kansas, 1989-94) in third place by two wins. Stevens holds the NCAA three-year (89), four-year (117) and five-year (139) records, and he's second on the two-year (56) list.
POPULAR DRAW: The Bulldogs played in front of their fifth consecutive sellout crowd overall and their third straight at home when they hosted Rhode Island. Butler has performed in front of seven capacity crowds in the past eight games and in 11 total games this season. Butler's future home games against Saint Louis and Xavier are already sold out, which sets a Butler record for most home sellouts (5) in a single season.

An ex-lunchroom aide accused of paying students to beat up a fourth-grader has pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting delinquent acts.
Brooke Wilson-Johnson's plea to the misdemeanor charge came Friday during a settlement conference.
The 19-year-old is scheduled to be sentenced March 17.
Police have said two 9-year-old boys and a 10-year-old girl at Campus Elementary in Grand Rapids claimed they were each given $1 last fall to beat up the fourth-grader. Wilson-Johnson had denied the claim, but said the 9-year-old victim swore at her.
Grand Rapids Schools' public safety office records show the victim says he was pushed, bumped, thrown out of his seat and had his food taken.
Wilson-Johnson was fired in October.

Case Study 3 : Media Officer
Name Helen Monks
Organisation: Shelter
Age: 30
So, what do you actually do?
I work with print, radio and online national and regional journalists to gain coverage for Shelter's core campaigning priorities and fundraising activities, and communicate our position on a broad variety of issues related to bad housing and homelessness.
What does your typical day involve?
A typical day's activities are usually divided between dealing with incoming queries, proactive media work (where we create and sell-in a story) and working with colleagues internally to plan media campaigns.
I deal with a lot of inquiries from journalists and work closely with other departments in Shelter, such as our research and statistics team, to provide them with facts and comment. We also arrange interviews with our key spokespeople and brief them before they speak to the media.
Most days involve working closely with colleagues from other departments to plan and shape upcoming campaigns and activities. I also spend time writing, clearing and issuing press releases or statements, and writing articles.
What's the most memorable experience you've had in this job?
In 2006, Shelter marked its 40th anniversary with a pre-Christmas drive to gain coverage for our call for more social homes for those in need.
We also launched a major new report which revealed that one in seven children in Britain are now homeless or badly housed. On the same day, Shelter unveiled the Wall of Shame, a 30-metre protest installation on London's South Bank to get public support - and the Government's attention - for our call to build more homes to tackle the housing crisis.
Needless to say, the phones barely stopped ringing and our coverage went through the roof. Everyone worked extremely hard and enjoyed the fantastic results - it was a very exciting time for all involved.
How rewarding is your job?
It is very rewarding when something you have worked on has done well you see tangible results in terms of how much coverage a story secured. Sometimes you are lucky enough to feel your efforts might have some part in changing something for the better, whether that's the public's perception of an issue, their willingness to donate money, or policymakers' readiness to focus on lifting people out of bad housing.
Any top tips for someone wanting to get into this work?
Be prepared to work for nothing, even if it's only for a few weeks. Also, if you don't already, read as many newspapers you can everyday, tune into News 24 and Radio 4 as a matter of course to begin honing your news sense.

To claim the Discovery Park bluff that serves as a spiritual and cultural respite in Seattle, local Native Americans in 1970 surrounded a military fort and scaled the fences.
The invasion of Fort Lawton, when more than 100 people covered razor wire with blankets to ensure Indians got a piece of Fort Lawton when it was decommissioned, is a proud moment for Seattle's urban Indians. It led to the construction of the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center and a vision for a 96,000-square-foot complex to commemorate and celebrate indigenous culture.
The rest of the complex was never built after Daybreak Star was completed in 1977, and now Daybreak Star faces a financial crisis. Program and governmental cuts have left the center nearly $300,000 in debt, and losing money every month, even after devastating layoffs.
For six months, the board and the community have grappled with options. The city owns Discovery Park, but the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation owns the Daybreak Star building and has 60 years remaining on its 99-year lease on the land. If the foundation were dismantled or bankrupted, the center's ownership would be up for grabs.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete

"We've stared death in the face, and we're taking it very seriously," said board Chairman Jeff Smith.
Daybreak Star provides practical services for Native Americans living in Seattle who might not be near their own tribal headquarters. It has parenting classes, a workforce-readiness program and an elders program that operates like a senior center.
The United Indians of All Tribes Foundation provides services to about 1,000 people every year.
It's also a spiritual home for the area's 10,000-or-so urban Indians and Native Alaskans — a place for powwows and ceremonies, and where on any day a traditional song might echo through the hallways.
Joseph McCormick started at Daybreak Star six months ago as a financial officer.
He found Daybreak Star in financial shambles, having just lost its biggest program, Head Start, in April, and cut its budget by $2.3 million. It was on its seventh or eighth interim executive director, with no reserve fund and a portion of the community in denial.
McCormick realized quickly enough that Daybreak Star's financial problems would not be solved with spreadsheets and ledgers. He expressed the reality of the situation in an accountant's words: "We've been in a contraction," he said, "and it has had an emotional component."
The possibility of losing Daybreak Star is particularly painful for Seattle's Indians, for whom the center is a victory amid many stories of loss.
So the leaders are doing something out of character for an organization focused for decades on protecting its own: reaching out. They are having meetings, asking for money and expertise, telling their story.
It's what Bernie Whitebear would have done, said interim Executive Director Minty Longearth.
No conversation about the cultural center is possible without mention of Whitebear, the activist and cultural leader who led the Fort Lawton occupation and whose vision and relationships were the foundation for Daybreak Star and the foundation that owns it.
Whitebear died of cancer in 2000, and in some ways the center has been on autopilot since then, Longearth said.
"The reality is that Bernie's vision 43 years ago … things have to change and the way we did things is based on what was available then," she said.
The organization's plain-spoken fundraising letter pleads for money to cover operating costs and debt. "With over sixty years left on our 99 year lease with the City of Seattle, we are committed to keeping our founder, Bernie Whitebear's, vision and dream alive," it says.
"If you look at the situation," Smith said, "it looks very tough. But our assets and community are wealthy."

Bellego to guest for North (From This Is Wiltshire)
Bellego to guest for North
Updated 11:30pm Monday 9th June 2014 in By Andy Warren, Deputy sports editor, email@example.com, @AndyWarren_
SWINDON Robins will use David Bellego as a guest against Wolves on Thursday in the absence of Dakota North.
Aussie North suffered knee ligament damage in a crash involving Leicester's Sam Masters last week and, although the injury is not as bad as first feared, he is likely to be out for at least a week.
Frenchman Bellego impressed during spells guesting for and against the Robins over the last two seasons, prompting calls to bring him into the Swindon side full-time, and also made it through to the next round of GP qualifying this evening in Berwick.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hi there:
it depends what you mean by "track record"... you are just trying to figure out if he will be a zealous advocate/
the basic answer is "no". First of all, "win" and "lost" are more subjective than you may realize. I can tell a client that they stand to owe the other side $50,000-$60,000, then we go to court because the other side won't settle for less than $80,000 and the jury finds that they he only owes $30,000, I would call that a big win. I just had a criminal defense case where the client was charged with 5 felonies, and he was acquitted of the 4 most serious and will avoid jail time on the 5th. He was convicted, but I would say that we got a great result considering that he could have gone to prison for 8 years; still, it would show up in the "L" column.
Secondly, in my experience, an attorney who doesn't lose very often never takes any risks. An attorney's job is to make certain that their client's rights are protected; TV has created this unrealistic expectation that you are paying for a certain result when you hire an attorney, but what you are really doing is paying for someone to get you the best result under the circumstances.
Some counties will have their cases posted online and you can search for an attorney to see what type of cases they handle. That is a good way to figure out what type of cases they do.
But if you want to know what an attorney is like, the best that you can do is the following: (1) check with the state bar association for a record of discipline. (2) ask him how many trials and jury trials he has personally seen all the way through to a verdict. (3) ask him for two professional references from other attorneys. Do not accept references from clients or anyone else. If he can find another attorney or two to stick up for him, he probably does fine. If he can't offer a reference, dump him immediately.

Gels, power bars, little ham or turkey and cheese sandwiches, some jelly and butter sandwiches as well, Also baked potatos, eaten like an apple believe it or not. Candy Bars sometimes too.
So all you freds can start carrying a baked potato in your jersey pocket now.

oh yeah, i did forget that bit. I wonder if its still the old school stuff you can get some places around the globe., with actual cane sugar instead of HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) stuff sold in the US.

Good question. I had the sugar cane version in Mexico last month while on my honeymoon. Dang that was good, though maybe being thirsty after being on the beach and in the ocean for a few hours may have had something to do with it. Oh, and it's even better mixed with a bit of rum too.
Cuda: I'd imagine in Tejas you could find a little Mexican grocery that carries Mexican Coke (La Cosa Verdad).
I was reading somewhere that they have sandwiches with ham, cream cheese, and jam on croissant. That actually sounds really, really good.
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
Everybody knows you put the potato down your pants, not in a jersey pocket.

HOUSTON — A former North Texas justice of the peace was in jail Saturday after his home was searched in connection with the shooting death investigations of two local prosecutors.
Eric Williams, 46, was arrested late Friday on a terroristic threat charge and was being held at Kaufman County Jail in Texas, effectively without bond since his $1 million bond was listed as "insufficient," according to sheriff's records.
No court date was listed. Jail staff referred questions to the sheriff's office.
Kaufman County Sheriff's Lt. Justin Lewis did not return calls and email Saturday.

Katherine Chaumont, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Dallas, said the charges were local and that she did not have additional information.
A spokesman for Williams and his attorney said they did not have any comment Saturday.
Williams was convicted last year of stealing county equipment in a case prosecuted by slain Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse. Williams is appealing the conviction.
McLelland, 63, was found shot to death at his home near Forney, Texas, about 20 miles east of Dallas, on March 30, along with his wife Cynthia, 65. Hasse, 57, was shot and killed on his way to work outside the county courthouse Jan. 31, about 30 miles southeast of Dallas.
Williams has been questioned by authorities in connection with the shootings, gave his cellphone to investigators and submitted to gunpowder residue tests, his attorney told The Los Angeles Times.
On Friday, investigators searched the homes of Williams and his in-laws in Kaufman, blocking the road to Williams' home.
Lewis told The Los Angeles Times on Friday that the search was related to the shooting investigation, but that investigators had not made any arrests or named suspects.
Earlier this month, investigators charged three other men with making threats against Kaufman officials — on a tip line, mail and Facebook — but they have not said any of those men were suspects.

Let's Build A Character For Shadowrun (Part 3)
So far we have our Shadowrun character's metatype, attributes, qualities, and skills. Now, since we have opted for him to be a magic-user, we come to what is likely the most important part of the character. The magic.
Because we chose magic as our highest priority, we will start off with a Magic score of 6 – the highest it can be at character creation – as well as a total of 10 spells/rituals/alchemical preparations. Since we did not select alchemy as a skill, we will not worry about the later of those. We will also be focusing mostly on spells, as that is where we have our character's focus, but there are a few rituals that will likely be useful to us so lets go ahead and look at those first. Glancing over them, there are three that really stand out, those being Ward, Circle of Protection, and Watcher. Curse is also very tempting, but lets hold off on that for now and stick with those three. That leaves us with seven spells we can start with. Note, as we selected the Raven as our Mentor Spirit, Dominican receives a special bonus of plus two to all spell-casting rolls for Manipulation spells, so it would be wisest to focus on those. This also pairs up well with our affinity for Spirits of Man, the manipulative spirit of the Shamanistic tradition. Do not worry if you did not catch all that. It comes from playing the game. Once you have a few sessions under your belts, you will be able to recognize things like that too. Looking at the Manipulation school of magic, the spells Armor, Control Thoughts, Influence, and Levitate look like good starters for us. In addition to those, the spells Heal, Manabolt, and Stunball, while not Manipulation spells, are really good spells to have. And like that, we have our seven.
Next, we have money to spend. 50,000 nuyen, to be specific. Sounds like a lot? Trust me that it will go quickly. This wealth represents everything our character has managed to accumulate so far and has to take into consideration everything from gear and weaponry to his living expenses. In fact, lets start with that. In Shadowrun, characters have a lifestyle that they have to pay every month, representing their costs of living. This includes things like where they live to how secure it is, as well as entertainment and other such things. For this character, I see him living quite well (for a shadowrunner) and starting off at a Medium lifestyle. Since he will want to use this place for Artificing, the option for Special Work Area is also desirable, as is Extra Secure and Obscure due to his Distinctive Style negative quality. Adding all that up, that comes to 7,800.
Then there are three things every runner needs. A weapon, armor, and a com. Although we have Manabolt and Stunball, lets not rely on magic for everything – there is a reason I made sure to give this character is pistols after all. So, living by the credo of "go big or go home" lets give this guy a good-old fashioned hand-cannon, and nothing says that better than the Ruger Super-Warhawk, a giant revolver that puts the fear of God into anyone looking down its barrel. That costs us 400 nuyen. Next, we will pick up a quick-draw holster for it (175 nuyen), an integrated smart-gun built into the weapon (400 nuyen), and three speed loaders (75 nuyen). Oh, and we cannot forget the bullets. Already, there is nothing silent about this beast, so lets really go all out with some explosive rounds. Thirty should be enough to start us off (240 nuyen) but lets also buy some Stick-n-Shock (electric) rounds just in case we need to go non-lethal. 20 should be enough of those (160 nuyen). All right, we have our gun. For armor, lets go with a lined coat – a duster with armor plating – if for no other reason than it looks cool (900) and because we do not want to find us on the receiving end of a taser, lets fit that with rating six non-conductivity (1500 nuyen). Thus far, we have already spent 11,650 of our 50,000.
Next time we will finish up with gear and spend the remainder of our karma.
Until then, I thank you all for reading and wish you all good gaming.

Hi there
I am looking forward to the new Zimbra release, as it brings major enhancements imho. Hence my question: When can we expect Zimbra 8.5 to be released?
Hi there
I am looking forward to the new Zimbra release, as it brings major enhancements imho. Hence my question: When can we expect Zimbra 8.5 to be released?
Acompli: A new adventure for Co-Founder KevinH.
Is there any indication like a specific quarters or half-year? I personally like Zimbra 8 very much and see Zimbra 8.5 as really competitive release. I am strongly considering it as a business possibility. So I need at least something. What do you tell your partners?
Once upon a time Zimbra included their next major release in the roadmap on their product management page (Zimbra Product Management Portal) - including calling out RFEs for most planned new features as well as target beta and release dates. That gave users an opportunity to provide active feedback on features and priorities as they were being developed. I don't recall whether this disappeared during the Yahoo! or VMware periods, but it's unfortunate.
From my pov, the major benefit was that it pulled everyone together, improved comunication and enhanced clarity. If one kept up to date with pm.zimbra.com, it was possible to talk in an informed manner which gave customers and prospects a degree of confidence.
It seems to me that since Telligent, pm.zimbra.com is slightly more verbose about next point releases - maybe that's just my imagination. But it's good none the less.
If Zimbra could figure out a way to provide more information without compromising their commercial position, I'm sure we would all welcome it. Perhaps there is someway NDAs could help - this works for beta and development programmes with other vendors, so I don't see why something similar couldn't work here.

Samsung Electronics today introduced the second generation of notebook under Series 9 in the Indian market.
Priced at Rs 1,02,990, the new notebook features a 13-inch screen, weighs 1.16 kgs and is powered by Intel's i7 processor.
The company also launched Series 5 550P (15-inch screen) and Series 3 350 priced at Rs 62,990 and Rs 48,490, respectively. Both devices feature third-generation Intel i7 processors.
"With the launch of the Samsung Note PCs, we now have a range of 32 models priced between Rs 21,990 and Rs 1.02 lakh. Based on our new launches and retail expansion, we are confident of doubling our note PC business this year," Samsung India Head (Mobile and IT) Ranjit Yadav said.
Samsung is aiming to capture a larger share of the consumer segment for IT products like laptops and printers as it expands its retail presence across the country to over 1,000 outlets.
The company, which has about nine per cent share in the consumer notebook segment, is aiming to expand it to about 12 per cent by the end of this year, Yadav added.
Similarly, it is looking at a 40 per cent share of the Indian multi-function printer segment by December 2013 from its current share of about 22 per cent, he said.
The company is also looking at maintaining its leadership position in the monitor segment, he said adding that Samsung has a 27 per cent share in the segment.

Last week marked the close of the 33rd annual Banned Books Week, a nationwide celebration of our freedom to read. According to the American Library Association, more than 11,300 books have been challenged since 1982. 311 challenges were reported to the Office for Intellectual Freedom last year, not including the many other unreported ones.
Lewd? Obscene? Scandalous? Perhaps, but that may be part of the reason I have loved so many of the infamous books that show up year after year on the American Library Association's Frequently Banned and Challenged Books lists. This year I get to share my love of these titles with the world as Banned Books Week, one of the more glorious weeks in books, is upon us and this year we want you to share your favorite.
Have you read a banned or challenged book? My guess is you probably have and didn't even know it! Banned Books Week celebrates our freedom to read, seek, and express ideas of all kinds.
So what does it mean for a book to be challenged or banned? "A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is the removal of those materials" (BBW Press Kit).
Some challenged and/or banned children's books include:
Picture Books
I am guilty of reading subversive literature filled to the brim with dangerous ideas and inflammatory language. I have been committing illicit acts of reading since I was a child, though my teen years were my most seditious. Yet I have never been arrested, or had to smuggle in a restricted book. I have always enjoyed the right to read freely and that is why I celebrate Banned Books Week.
This year Banned Books Week is September 22-28 and I encourage you to visit your local Denver Public Library branch and get caught reading banned books! If you have your mug shot photo taken with your favorite banned book, be sure to share it with us on the DPL facebook page.
Did you know that over 11,000 books have been challenged since Banned Books Week began in 1982? Celebrate your freedom to read and check out a banned book today!
The library enthusiastically supports an individuals freedom to choose what they read and to express their own unique opinions. Having multiple viewpoints available to you is a fundamental right that libraries work hard to protect.
What is your favorite banned book? Some famous banned books include:
September 25−October 2, 2010
Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September, Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States.
Intellectual freedom—the freedom to access information and express ideas, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox or unpopular—provides the foundation for Banned Books Week. BBW stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints for all who wish to read and access them.
All DPL locations will be closed May 29 & 30. Westwood also closed May 28. More...

The heating system on Issuma consists of two drip-pot diesel heaters. The pilothouse is heated by a Dickinson Lofoten heater, which is also used for cooking (though most cooking is done by a gas stove/oven). The forward part of the boat is heated by a Dickinson Alaska heater (see previous blog entry).
Fuel for the heaters is gravity-fed from the daytank, through a fuel
filter/water separator. The drip-pot diesel heaters will not run if there is water in the fuel. A little water in the fuel will result in it boiling loudly as it enters the combustion chamber, and the heater might stay running, but with a lot of water in the fuel, the flame will go out, and the regulator needs to have the water removed from it (there are no drain plugs, so the way I've done this is to suck it out with a copper tube).
Between these two heaters, the inside temperature can be about 25 degrees C higher than the outside temperature, or about 20 degrees higher if it is windy.
This works well down to about -10C/14F (and not so well at -20C/-4F).
Previously, a wood stove was used. This put out a decent amount of heat, but had to be tended every hour or two, so, over the course of 24 hours, didn't put out as much heat as a diesel heater did. The wood stove was more suitable for heating when there are several people aboard, to share the task of tending the stove.
The Sigmar 120 heater I used earlier had the ability to draw air from outside, but I never configured it that way. I ran that heater both in the location up forward and in the pilothouse, and it worked well in both places, but just wasn't big enough for heating in winter. The balanced air intake pipe that heater had on the bottom did pull quite a bit of moist air out of the bilge, and was a nice feature.
When I replaced the Sigmar 120 with the Lofoten, I tried installing the Sigmar in the bedroom, for use as a third heater for when it was really cold. I used an existing vent hole in the centerboard trunk for the chimney, which involved two 90 degree turns, and the draft never worked out. It would work if I put the chimney thru the deck, but it was a temporary install for use in -15 to -20 temperatures only (otherwise it is too big a heater for the bedroom), and the cold weat
I abandoned the idea of getting either of these heaters working under sail. Neither chimney location is free of downdrafts while sailing, and both have high stacks, which prevent backdrafts, but also get in the way of sails and lines if trying to sail with them.
While it would be comfortable to have a warm boat while sailing, no heaters are really reliable (diesel heaters stop when out of fuel, or too much water or dirt in the fuel, or when chimneys fall overboard), so one always needs sufficient clothing for the temperatures one sails in. Not having a warm cabin when sailing results in wearing suitable clothing for the temperatures, so isnt a real disadvantage.

The Dickinson Alaska heater in the forward part of the boat. This heater puts out about half as much heat as the Lofoten heater in the pilothouse.
There are 24 volt (Issuma's electrical system is 24 volt) computer fans on the wall that blow the warm air off the chimney into the boat. The plywood wall is covered with sheet aluminum to keep heat away. A strip of aluminum foil is hung from the ceiling to reflect heat back into the main part of the boat (this is only used on cold days in the winter at the dock).
Not shown in the picture is a barometric damper, which injects room air into the chimney, so less heat is wasted going up the chimney and out of the boat. Putting in the barometric damper made the heater put 30-40% more heat in the boat than it did when running without the barometric damper (this is partly because there is a tall stack--about 3m in total).
To be installed soon is a grating that protects things from touching the hot chimney.

The entrance to the harbor Issuma is in is to the right of the green daymark
Wed Feb 9 7:21:05 EST 2011, Toronto, Canada
The red nun buoy in this picture is much easier to recognize than the one in yesterday's picture that was loaded with ice. This buoy is around a bend in the channel, so it doesn't get the breaking waves that the outer buoy does...I believe that is why it is not covered in ice. This part of the channel still gets swell coming in, which breaks up the ice.
Tue Feb 8 10:32:04 EST 2011, Toronto, Canada
Below and to the left of the lighthouse, what looks like a floating piece of ice is actually a red nun (buoy with a pointed top), marking the entrance channel to the harbor.

It warmed up to -10C (14F) and got windy last night and this morning. This is the entrance to the harbor where Issuma is. The waves broke up the ice a fair way into the harbor, but not as far as Issuma, which is still frozen into the ice.
Mon Jan 24 11:03:22 EST 2011, Toronto, Canada
Outside the harbor yesterday, when it was cold (-19C/-4F). The misty areas of the picture are steam coming off the water and steam from the spray when the water hits the ice-covered rocks.
Today it warmed up enough to snow (for those not used to cold climates, snow requires clouds and clouds reflect heat back to the surface, so the coldest temperatures happen when there are no clouds--ie when it is not snowing).
Sun Jan 23 16:29:33 EST 2011, Toronto, Canada
In contrast to the previous picture of sailing on a beautiful summer day in Labrador, here is where Issuma is today, locked in the ice, which is now covered with snow. Being covered with snow means the ice wont get thicker as quickly (because snow is a good insulator), which is good, as the thicker the ice is, the longer Issuma will be stuck in the ice.
and nice boat, isn't she?
Are you thinking you want her back :)
Fri Jan 21 7:53:58 EST 2011
As Issuma is still frozen into the ice, I can only dream about sailing :), so here is a picture of Issuma this summer in Labrador.
Jerry, s/v 'Kama'
Jerry, Happy New Year. I imagine one could still go sailing in NY harbor now, which would really be nice. Is your boat out of the water for the winter? While there is open water less than 100m from me, the boat is firmly enough held to the dock by the ice that I'm not going anywhere until it melts.
I have fond memories of sailing Rosemary Ruth in NY Harbor, both summer and winter.
I like the roller furling sails on Issuma, because the sails are all big (so physically harder to handle without roller furling gear) and it is a much wetter boat than Rosemary Ruth, so changing headsails on a furler-less Issuma while going to windward in a chop would be no fun.
I don't have a chartplotter on Issuma (though there is one on Rosemary Ruth), but use a laptop with charting software. A chartplotter would be better (because it is waterproof), but then I'd need all new charts, which would be really expensive. I find electronic chartplotting of any kind makes coastal sailing, especially singlehanding into harbors, much easier.
Best wishes on your trip to Nova Scotia, it is a nice place.
