Embraer will soon freeze the design of its first purpose-built military transport, the KC-390, for tactical missions. Although the first flight is planned for 2014, some details remain sketchy. But at least the program seems well funded, with the Brazilian government providing most of the $2.2 billion needed for development.
"The KC-390 is essentially being designed for cargo and air-refueling missions," Luiz Carlos Aguiar, Embraer Defense and Security CEO, told AIN. The 50,700-pound maximum payload (slightly below previously announced numbers) can consist of 64 paratroopers, 80 soldiers, a helicopter or wheeled armored vehicles. "We have checked that the wheeled armored vehicles of two of our clients fit in," Aguiar said.
The KC-390's tanker capability is based on the installation of two removable internal fuel tanks. The aircraft will also be capable of being refueled in flight.
Six countries have signed letters of intent for a total 60 aircraft: Brazil (28), Colombia (12), Argentina (6), Chile (6), Portugal (6) and the Czech Republic (2). Of these, Argentina, Portugal and the Czech Republic have also agreed on industrial partnerships. France, although it has clearly expressed interest for a dozen, has not signed any agreement or letter–apparently because it is waiting for the Brazilians to order Dassault's Rafale fighter first.
The $2.2 billion funding runs until the end of 2014. This is when the KC-390 is scheduled to make its first flight. The funded development phase includes two prototypes and production tooling. From 2015, Embraer is counting on starting to receive partial payments from customers. The first deliveries to the Brazilian air force are slated for 2016.
Surprisingly, Aguiar did not want to give indications on the range. "This is premature," he said. Preliminary data Embraer released in 2010 showed that range, with a 52,000-pound payload, would be close to 1,400 nm.
The company will be ready to make firm offers, including price and specifications, in the first quarter of next year. "From March or April, we'll got to the market aggressively," Aguiar said. The program is now in the "joint definition" phase. Some 180 engineers, representing over 50 companies, are working at Embraer's São José dos Campos design offices.
As development money is flowing, the KC-390 program already appears as revenues in Embraer Defense and Security's accounting books. Last year, it accounted for 19 percent of $852 million. This year, the program's funding will represent 39 percent of an estimated $900- to $950 million in revenues.
Aguiar made it clear there is no risk-sharing partner (in the commercial meaning) on the program. It is purely funded by governments. Brazil is funding more than 90 percent of the program, while the Czech Republic and Argentina are providing the rest. For a fixed amount, Embraer is supposed to deliver the aircraft on time and on specifications. Any development delay beyond 2014 would have to be funded by the manufacturer. And the government could refuse the delivery of an aircraft that is not performing as expected.
Embraer has chosen its main suppliers. International Aero Engines will provide the two V2500 turbofan engines with accompanying nacelles and thrust reversers. The airframer said that it chose turbofans over turboprops because it wants to be able to cover large distances–such as the vast country of Brazil itself–with speed. The KC-390 will be the lowest total life-cycle cost airlifter in its class, Embraer claims.
The mission computer, as well as crew seats and directional infrared countermeasures, comes from AEL. Liebherr is in charge of the cabin pressure control system and the air-conditioning system. DRS, a Finmeccanica company, is responsible for the cargo handling and aerial delivery system. Another Finmeccanica company, Selex Galileo, will supply the tactical radar.
The fly-by-wire control system, along with actuators, will come from Goodrich and BAE Systems. Hispano-Suiza is responsible for the head-up display. Messier-Bugatti, another Safran company, is in charge of wheels and brakes. Cobham will supply the air refueling pods.
The KC-390's main technology feature will be its fly-by-wire control system, according to Aguiar. He said Embraer continues to improve fly-by-wire, from the E-Jets to the Legacy 500 and now on the KC-390. The next feature will be Rockwell Collins avionics, based on the Pro Line Fusion suite, in the flight deck.
In terms of market forecast, Embraer officials believe they have a conservative estimate. By 2025, the market for such transports is seen at 700 aircraft. The bulk of it is for Lockheed Martin C-130 replacement. Aguiar said he would be happy with 17 to 18 percent of the 700. This would translate into around 120 KC-390s.
Aguiar sees his competitors being, first, C-130 modernization programs. "Some of them include structural upgrades for prolonged wing utilization," he said. The in-production C-130J, obviously, is another competitor. Other military transports are either smaller (like the Airbus C295) or larger (like the Airbus A400M and the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III).
Embraer has already penciled in some plans for production. The assembly line should have a capacity of 1.5 aircraft per month. Aguiar is counting on 8 to 10 deliveries per year and a total production run of 140 "would be a great success," he said.

The Ascent of the Mont-Blanc by the Gouter Route (4810 m) – 18th Sept 2009Patrick, Pierre and Pascal
Ascending the Mt Blanc once during your mountaineering life is part of the game. This year, I climbed the 4810m with my friend Patrick and guide Pierre. Convinced at first that such a climb was too audacious for me, I finally challenged myself and decided to go.
Knowing that most of the Mont-Blanc ascents are usually managed in three days (due to altitude acclimatization), we nevertheless decided with Pierre for a two-day ascent. We departed from Cabane de la Tête Rousse, with a height gain of 1700 m, straight to the top. I trusted Pierre without arguing too much and bearing in mind that I was pretty fit for such a long ascent.
It definitely took us a long time to reach the summit. A total of eight hours was required. Having kicked off at two in the morning, we finally enjoyed a superb view and shared our joy around ten in the morning. The sky was blue but the air bitingly cold.
The first part up to the Refuge de l'Aiguille du Gouter was technically highly demanding. Primarily because you are hiking in the dark and the rocks can be slippery. Therefore, keen attention is constantly required. We appreciated Pierre's excellent knowledge of the area. He managed to find the best way up. While another group, obviously on the wrong track, put people below them into danger by triggering off stones and rocks.
Happy to have reached the first step in good condition, we felt ready to start the long ascent of 1000 m on ice. We strapped the crampons on our shoes and headed for the Bivouac of Vallot (4365 m). Hut named after J. Vallot, a scientist who reached the summit in 1881. I felt slightly anxious at the beginning, but felt rapidly at ease. Patrick seemed in good shape and not to mention Pierre who was flying on the path.
The weather was simply perfect. We couldn't have dreamt of better conditions – blue sky with a light but permanent wind and obviously an inevitable low temperature of – 10 degrees at this altitude.
The last part was all about the willpower to reach the top. It required a progression in constant pace with a confident foot and permanent attention on each side of the ridge. Bearing in mind that we were a group of three, we needed to hike at the same pace. Listening to your body is also a key factor in order to adapt your pace or eventually to decide to give up.
The ridge before the summit, revealing an incredible blue sky and unlimited space, provided us with an unforgettable sensation of freedom. On the top we released our effort to share our happiness of being there. We admired the beautiful view above the clouds. It felt like flying an airplane.
After 15-20 minutes on the top, we decided to go down. The descent was demanding for our knees so we had to manage this carefully. The long descent until the Nid d'Aigle took us about 6 hours.
Overall, for me this was a fantastic adventure in good company. Pierre led us to the summit with confidence. Thanks to his strong and valid recommendations we ensured a safe climb. Looking forward to re-climbing the Mont-Blanc in the future!

Help ,smbc Looks Like Melted Icecream
Decorating By solascakes Updated 18 Apr 2009 , 1:54pm by aswartzw
Please help im making smbc NOW for the first time and it's looking like melted icecream,its taste good but i don't want to drink it.What i'm i doing wrong,is the mixer too fast or slow what,i followed every step to the t.I have put it in the fridge for 20 minutes,its been mixing for like 8minutes again,and still no luck
OK im freaking out,i need help like yesterday
Did you have good, stiff peaks and was your meringue cool before you started adding butter? Did you let the meringue mixture get hot enough over the bain marie before you put it on the mixer? I would put it in the fridge for a WHILE (more than 20) and let the butter firm up quite a bit (so it's just barely softened, like cold, spreadable butter) and then put it back on the mixer with the PADDLE and beat the HELL out of it. If this doesn't work, then you might have to scrap it and start over, but even in culinary school when I was first learning there was RARELY a batch that couldn't be brought back like this.
Ok back to the fridge it goes,i did follow all the steps as instructed,it's my first time so i bought a candy themometer planned this for a week ,made sure i had everything,i'll put it back in the frigde thanks.I'll let you know how it turns out.
PinkZiab when i'm ready to re-beat the smbc,how long do i need to beat it for.
I beat mine forever. Maybe 15 minutes? It is not a quick BC.
When I made SMBC, the same thing happened, and you just need to beat the heck out of it! Turn up the mixture to high speed and wait till you hear the sound of the beater change to a slapping sound. Perhaps this video will help you...it definitely reassured me when I panicked about the soupy BC. Good luck!
Ok, i got it out of the fridge like 5hrs later,then beat it for like 10 mins and it started to take shape and then VOILA it came together.But it tasted just like butter so i HATE it (sorry),doesn't taste like frosting at all.It was a bit of an anti climax for me cos i also made serious cake's yellow cake to go with it,and had been really looking forward to it ALLDAY.I think the cake was nice though. I might try IMBC someday just to be sure i'm not missing out when people are saying how yummy it is.
Thanks everybody for your help,I appreciate you guys.
Glad it came together... what type of flavoring did you put in it? I would put a nice dose of good, REAL vanilla, or try adding some melted ochocolate. Also, did you add a pinch of salt? I love Meringue buttercreams... I'll never go back! lol If you don't like SMBC you won't like IMBC either because they taste identical.
yup, I agree with PinkZiab, IMBC and SMBC will taste the same. They have the same ingredients just different methods for getting the meringue. I love this icing maybe because I love butter. I love butter in my toast, in my cakes, sometimes I cook with it and sweetened butter? even better. I know it's weird but yup I'll take real butter anytime... What I like most to add to IMBC or SMBC is some orange liquer like Grand Marnier... that is my absolute favorite.
What kind of butter did you use? You need to use unsalted butter b/c it tastes less like butter. Also add tons of flavoring. Around 1 T. good quality vanilla. I love chocolate SMBC. Tastes just like chocolate ice cream. I eat it frozen from a bowl.
i agree with previous posts. did you use unsalted or salted butter? it really makes a difference (HUGE!). was it cold when you tasted it? It's better to eat it at room temperature I think.
was it cold when you tasted it? It's better to eat it at room temperature I think.
Completely correct! Never ever eat it cold on a cake. Plus I find it never develops its full potential until on a cake. Then they really compliment each other.
I personally prefer eating at room temperature. I always advise the people eating my cake to take it out of the fridge at least an hour before eating it. I do have a couple of friends that would only eat it cold. One would actually freeze the cake before eating it. So yup, there is no wrong way of eating it.
Thanks y'all,I used salted butter and vanilla flavouring.I tasted it both at room temperature and cold.I iced the cake with it and tasted it immediately,then I left the cake in the fridge overnight and brought it out for an hour and had another piece,it was a bit better in the morning but i still couldn't finish that piece.
What kind of butter did you use? You need to use unsalted butter b/c it tastes less like butter. Also add tons of flavoring. Around 1 T. good quality vanilla. I love chocolate SMBC. Tastes just like chocolate ice cream. I eat it frozen from a bowl.
I think I will try it with white chocolate,i like white chocolate.And i will colour it,cos it really looked yellow and so all I could see was butter butter butter.
I really love anything butter ,that why i'm shocked I didn't like it.
AAHHA I will definitely be trying the frosting again,yes I will. It happens that MOI is on antibiotics at the moment (phenoxymethylpenicillin),well some of the side effects are nausea and daihorrea. So tell me..........how on earth can you like something that might taste like butter when you are terribly nauseated 24/7,had stomach pain leading to a running stomach.
When I finish the medicine,I'll wait for my appetite to return and I'll redo it. Hahahahaha,I'm excited again,white chocolate this time.
was it cold when you tasted it? It's better to eat it at room temperature I think.
Completely correct! Never ever eat it cold on a cake. Plus I find it never develops its full potential until on a cake. Then they really compliment each other.
well... i let it fully develop in my mouth. haha i love eating it! That's why i should stop making it. hahaha
solascakes, hope you give it another try
Definitely give it another try. The first time I made it I didn't like it (used salted butter) but now it's all I'll eat. I hate regular BC now!

#Throwback Thursday: Jim Jensen
Published: July 11th, 2013 | Tags: #throwback thursday, Dolphins, Jim Jensen, Tim Tebow
"I always asked him, 'Coach, where you want me to go?' during practice," Jensen said.
When you talk about players who did everything in their power to get on the field, former Dolphins legend Jim Jensen immediately springs to mind.
Of course, he first came to mind because it seemed unusual for a guy who wore a No. 11 jersey to run the ball on third down. Or to throw himself at runners on special teams. But that's what he did.
Jensen played quarterback at Boston University and was drafted by the Dolphins in the 11th round. But his future would not be at his college position. He would line up at receiver, running back and yes, he even threw a few passes, too. His career passer rating was 141.4 which would be an all-time record … if he had attempted more than seven passes. He completed four of them for two touchdowns.
He was a special-teams ace, too. "Crash" often became an adjective as he famously collided with kick returners, but it was how he was often referred to by the Dolphins fans.
Jensen played 12 years for the Dolphins from 1981-1992 and was the personification of a football player. (Tim Tebow could probably take a few pointers from this guy.)

Hello Beautiful People of MyIGN! My name is Teddie, and welcome to my blog, where I'm talking about something that's been on my mind lately. I've been thinking about Persona 4 Golden a lot, and why it means so much to me. I think, in this blog, I'm ready to let you guys know what I think in this here blog. Keep in mind, this blog will get personal, and of course, SPOILERS for the ending from here on.
To start off, I want to tell you a bit about me, and where I come from. I was raised for most of my life in a very small town (I'm talking Population 3,000) and I was happy there. It was a good feeling to know pretty much every single person who attended your High School, and it was a whole lot of fun finding interesting things to do in town. I had my group of friends, and we all spent loads of time together. In such a small town, the only thing to do was to hang out with friends. We didn't have a whole lot of places to hang out in town, so locally owned restaurants became regular hang-out spots for me and my friends. Because of this, we all became so close we were basically family, inseparable. We spent every moment we could with our group.
But, just over a year ago, that was ripped away from me. My mom and I moved to a bigger city. Now, my school has the same amount of students as my hometown's population. It was a HUGE culture shock to transfer from one school to another. That wasn't the issue, though. I could adapt to a change in surroundings, no problem, but what I could not do, was adapt to living without my close friends. I left them, and they went on with their lives. They might've lost a member of the group, but the rest of them were still there. I felt a sting of jealousy as I looked through pictures they posted. They had moved on past me, while I couldn't seem to stop living in the past. It was about this time that I got Persona 4 Golden for my newly-acquired Vita.
I looked at the game the wrong way at first. I knew from what I'd heard that it was an emotional game, so I knew I'd get attached to these characters. I used the game as a sort of fantasy; an escape to what moving to a new place should've been like, as pathetic as that might sound. People in this town immediately wanted to be my friend, and the tense battles against Shadows only made us closer together. It was a welcome change to being lonely and depressed. As the game progressed, though, and as I started to get closer to these characters, I saw it differently. I began to see it as a kind of Home-coming. The group of friends I made truly became my friends, and, even though they weren't anything like my friends back home, I still felt like I was back home when I played this game.
When the ending came, I didn't want it to. I wanted the game to keep going forever, I didn't want to have to say goodbye to these characters. The ending came, and the ending Atlus decided to go with just happened to be that I moved away from them. This broke my heart. All these hours of growing close to these characters, and I had to leave them, just like I had left myfriends back home.
This is where I feel like the Ending became a stroke of genius. The Final Scene before you get on the train back home. At this point, most writers would have all the characters give really long, emotional speeches where everyone is crying and sharing memories. Instead, the writers did something amazing. No one knows what to say. The last time you'll spend together is spent exchanging simple phrases. "Take care of yourself." "See ya, partner." "Goodbye."
This is exactly how it was to say goodbye to my friends! What do you say to a friend who's been there for you since you were 10, and you suddenly have to say goodbye? What do you say when trying to sum up how grateful you are for every single time they've made you laugh? How do you possibly tell them everything you want them to know before you leave? You can't. There is no possible way you can. Instead, you part ways like you normally would, as though you were going to see each other the very next day.
This mirror-reflection of how I said goodbye to my friends made this game that much more emotional for me. I cried. I sat in my room and cried, thinking back on every moment I had had with my friends back home. Yes, the characters in Persona 4 Golden are excellent characters, with phenomonal writing and voice acting, but the reason I truly love them more than any other characters in Video Games is because they let me re-live my memories with my friends. Sure, we never journeyed into a TV to save the lives of an entire town, but we did spend tons of time together. We went places and just enjoyed each other's company. We learned about each other so much that we could recite it by memory if we had to. We made every moment together one to remember, one that we'd always cherish and remember as the years went on.
Then, of course, came the epilogue. It chronicled a trip back to Inaba, to visit the entire Investigation Team. What I love that Atlus did during this is make everyone different. Marie is more buttoned-up and pleasant. Naoto has embraced her femininity, and is no longer embarrassed to look like a girl. Kanji has accepted who he really is, and his hair has gone back to it's original color, his piercings removed, now wearing glasses. The characters have moved on, and, as the character, I was initially sort of unnerved to see the characters being different. I was so used to seeing them as they were before.
But then, as you interact with them, you realize that although their lives have changed, they have more or less stayed the same. Throughout everything that these characters go through, they are still your friends, and after everything you've been though together, nothing is going to change that. I've been back to visit my friends a few times now, and I feel it's the same way. Their situations have changed but they have not. This game helped me overcome my loneliness and my longing for home. It helped me come to terms that even though we couldn't spend every day together, we were still best friends. And for all these reasons, Persona 4 Golden is my Favorite Game I've Ever Played.
So, that ends my blog for today. I hope you guys enjoyed it and didn't find it too emotional or anything like that. I'm not usually like this, but this topic means a lot to me. Also, if you're curious, I said the words 'Friends' a total of 17 times in this blog, including the one you just read. I would usually try to think of a different word that works as well, so as not to sound repetetive, but whatever, the word works. Until next time, you Lovable Humans, this is Teddie, signing off!

Calculate capacitance across full wave bridge rectifier?
I've added some pics(not much of help but.....)
The no-load voltage appears to increase when you add the capacitor as the capacitor charges to the peak output voltage, and stays charged to that level as there is nowhere for the charge to go.
You'll have to use a REGULATOR to give you 5V.
Think about it. What happens if you connect the other end of your 470k to the -ve of your supply ? You'll see 0V, and 7/470,000 Amps flows.
What happens now, if we put a load that is say 100Ohms, instead of 0 ohms( a short) ? V= 100/(470,000+100) x 7 = 100/470,100 = 0.001 V !!
What happens now, if we leave the resistor OPEN circuit ? V=7, I=0.
So the bigger the load = the smaller the resistance,, the LESS output voltage you get
What you have done is put a voltmeter (nominal input resistance ~1,000,000 ohms across the supply, now, v=7*1000000/(1000000+470000) and v= roughgly 5 !!!
Your buzzer's resistance is more likely to be LESS than 1000Ohms. Measure it, put the numbers in the equation
v = 7 x buzzer resistance / (buzzer resistance+470,000) ....and measure v

ARCATA -- The home team trailed by five runs, tied it up in the eighth inning, and then had it slip away in the ninth.
Manny Ramirez Jr. belted a three-run bomb out onto U.S. Highway 101 South and the California Warriors scored an unearned run in the top of the ninth to edge the Humboldt Crabs 7-6 in Far West League action Tuesday evening at the Arcata Ball Park.
"It's tough, another one-run loss," said Crabs manager Matt Nutter. "But a good job by our guys, we battled back."
The score was knotted at six in the top of the ninth, but the Warriors manufactured the winning run on a hit batsman, a fielder's choice and a Crabs infield error.
"It got a little too close for comfort," said California Warriors head coach Noah Jackson. "I'm very proud of my team because we were able to close this game."
Thomas Peterson retired the Crabs in order in the ninth to save the W for Mack Meyer.
The Warriors got on the board first, when Francis Christy crushed a third-inning triple off the center-field fence to drive in Corbin Wirta.
In the fourth, Wirta smacked an RBI single, Christy singled and Ramirez followed with his shot over the wall near the 343-foot mark to put the visitors ahead 5-0.
Crabs starter Connor Chick did not have good stuff, walking or plunking the leadoff batter in the first four innings. He gave up five earned runs, five hits and five walks in just 3 2/3 innings.
His successor, Connor Chase, threw 3 2/3 innings, not allowing a run until the eighth.
"A good job by Chase, he put zeroes on the board and did his job," said Nutter
Humboldt got its first run in the fifth when Jeremie Fagnan singled home Clay Cederquist, who had walked.
Warriors starting pitcher Trevin Haseltine pitched six strong innings, scattering four hits, allowing just one run and striking out seven.
But his successor, Sam Granoff, did not fare so well.
The Crabs greeted Granoff in the seventh with three consecutive hits -- Kyle Moses' double down the left-field line, Tyler Shannon's RBI single, and Cederquist's RBI double into the right-field corner.
Meyer put out the fire, but not before Cameron Olson's RBI single made it a 5-4 ballgame.
In the top of the eighth, Ramirez singled, stole second and scored on Casey Levy-Tulloch's single to give the visitors a two-run advantage.
Humboldt answered with two runs in the home half of the eighth, with Peter Miller and Zack McCoy, who both singled, coming in to score on a pair of sacrifice flies.
With the win, the Warriors improve to 7-6 in the FWL and 23-13, while the Crabs drop to 11-4, 24-9. The teams play a doubleheader today starting at 5:30 p.m.

Alexander McQueen, whose visionary designs in fashion left an undoubtedly lasting impact, continues to inspire his namesake brand long after his tragic death in 2010. In McQueen's lifetime he experimented with a range of dark and Gothic themes, and with Halloween nearly upon us, the Alexander McQueen fashion house has released a video that plays with these themes in a unique and beautifully symmetrical way–using a variety of McQueen's signature silk scarves. Most of the scarves in the video, created by Parisian director Babette Pauthier, contain the famous McQueen skull motif, some of which can be purchased currently at the Alexander McQueen scarf boutique.

Subaru is recalling around 634,000 vehicles in the United States for lighting issues that potentially leads to smoke or fire. Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. is recalling Forester vehicles from 2009-2012, Legacy and Outback vehicles from 2010-2012, and some types of Tribeca vehicles from 2006-2012 according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The vehicles affected by the recall may be built with accessory puddle lights that brighten the areas under the doors when lit. A short circuit may occur when the light or connector is exposed to an electrolytic moisture source like a certain type of road spray or road salt. The heat generated can cause the plastic to melt — which causes smoke or fire. Subaru is letting owners know and dealers will install an additional harness. The recall is starting next month.

No, her name is not Bird Poop. That is my friend Kari, at the end of a long day that started with me getting crapped on as I crossed 2nd Avenue on my way to breakfast.
I always wondered when the odds were going to catch up with me. I spend so much of my life walking around outside, yet had never had a bird poop on my head. As soon as I felt it, I knew what it was, and I thought: Well, I guess I won't have to go through that for another 35 years.
I cleaned it out of my hair in the restaurant's restroom, and Mr K and I (who were planning our trip to Paris next week) spent exactly one minute laughing about it before moving on to more pressing topics.
There was a time when this could have ruined my entire day, but instead it was just another thing that happened in an overall superb day. This is what I consider a spiritual change.

The Automatic Deskew function of RTIV ver 3.X requires a black reference roller. In case you update RTIV from ver 2.X to ver 3.X and use it with KV-S6040W/KV-S6045W/KV-S2055L/KV-S2055W, it will not work properly. It is because they have a white reference roller. Please exchange a white roller for black one since it will be provided as an option.
In case you are a user of KV-SS25 or KV-SS55 or KV-SS855, we are afraid that you cannot use the Automatic Deskew with RTIV ver 3.X

text: Hi guys, I'm new on the forum, and have been looking around for a bit. I have a question. Will the pant/shoes combination on the picture work? Are these shoes too dressy to go with chinos ? I've had these pair of shoes sitting in a closet for a while, and wondered if I could make them fit with something else other than dress brown/gray pants. Thanks

Choke tube constrictions??
Can somebody provide something like a chart showing what a really "loose" constriction for a choke tube is and a really tight choke tube constriction? I'm looking into getting a new ported choke tube for trap shooting and I have no idea what is perhaps too tight or too loose. If someone could regurgitate their knowledge on choke tube constrictions and what is preferred by most especially for trap, I would be one happy Sailor!! Hahaha!
Thank you very much!!

For 16 yard trap the most common choke is a modified.

Save the expense on the ported part - just a bigger mess to clean afterwards
What chokes does your gun come with now? Have you patterned them to see how they perform? Many times, the factory tubes are as good, if not better, than the after market ones.
Assuming normal bore diameter, a constriction of .020, aka Modified, should work from the 16 yard line

I shoot a Modified choke for Trap singles ...from the 16 yd line - to the 20 yd line. My primary shell in a 12ga is 1 oz of 8's at 1225 fps...
Just a Note....but you stand 16 yds behind the Trap house ( at 16 yd singles ) and as you call for a target ...it will fly about 20 - 25 yds before it starts to level off and fall..so call it 35 yds ....ideally you want to shoot it when its still under power and rising... and you select your choke - to give you a 30" pattern ( with no holes in it big enough for a clay to fly thru unscathed --- at the intended kill range ) ..and at 35 yds a Modified choke in most guns will give you a good dense 30" pattern. In general, you need 3 or 4 pellets of a load of 8's to break a Trap target at that range...( 1 oz loads have about 409 pellets of 8's in a shell )....you can shoot 9's at 16 yds as well ....or 7 1/2's ...

Ok, let the abuse begin ....
I re-load 1 shell in a 12ga for everything...sporting clays, skeet, trap singles, Continental Trap, etc.....so I stay with the one shell and I do load it with
1 oz of 8's @ 1225 fps....( and I shoot it in my Trap guns, and my general use sporting clays guns....and the Benelli SuperSport as well ...and occasionally for Skeet ..although I shoot way more skeet with a 20ga or 28ga or the .410 these days..vs a 12ga.)
But yes, I'm lazy ....so I just load 1 shell ...that I know my Benelli will run 100% ( if or when I choose to shoot it ).....

Come on Jim. Is it being lazy or is it just too difficult to remember more than one recipe?
You did say "let the abuse begin."

My main reload is 7/8 at 1250 - because lead costs too damn much;
Also playing with 3/4 @ 1225 - VERY soft

and I am lazy .....but when I had 5 or 6 different 12 ga loads....( some in 9's, some in 8's, some in 7 1/2's....and some at 1200 fps, some at 1225 fps, some at 1300 fps ...and some at 1 oz and some at 1 1/8 oz....
invaribly / while they were marked in boxes or quart bags....sometimes they got in my vest ..and then were mixed up when I dumped the pockets out of my vest. So I went to marking the base with sharpies....really hot ones were purple, semi-hot ones were red, some were yellow, some blue, some greeen .....( then I got the codes screwed up ).../ or I shot in some downpours or in snowstorms...and some of the marks came off....it was just a hassle ....especially once I reloaded them / I had to wipe off the old marks ...and remark all the bases again with a sharpie...
so now, in 12ga....my reloads are all 1 oz at 1225 fps ....and if, on a sporting course, I think I need a box or two of 9's --- or a box of Nitro 7 1/2's ( to clear my sinuses ) ....then I have some of each in new factory ammo ....and just recycle the hulls. Then if one of the kids - or myself - dumps them back into a general box at the vehicle ...at least I can sort them out / because I can identify the new shells - and they're all marked / and I can separate them all out.
and 99.9% of the time, if I can't break it with 1 oz of 8's ....I probably can't break it with another shell either...

And I would dare you or anyone else, Jim, to say they can tell 25fps difference on lead at any target at any distance

I agree Oneounce ...I can't tell the difference in lead...with only 25 fps difference in the shells. ( But they crimp real nice / so I'm not changing the bushing in the 12ga loader...) ..../ told you I was lazy ...

Now Computers Can Recognize What's Happening in a Photo Just As Well As You Can
Researchers have developed AI capable of determining not only a photo's subject, but what might have been happening when it was captured.
Scientists have created new artificial intelligence software that can describe what's going on in a photo almost as accurately as humans can.
Until now, most "computer vision" programs have been capable of identifying just one item in a picture. So, the computer could tell that a photo of a guy sprinting to make his flight on time has a man in it, but not that it's a photo of a man walking through an airport.
This new software, created by researchers at Stanford University and Google, reportedly can identify the entire scene. The New York Times reports that the computer can come up with "surprisingly accurate" descriptions that could be used, for example, to categorize and organize photos and videos online.
Ultimately, the software could even be used for surveillance. Imagine a security camera that could tell you not only that there are people outside a business, but also that they're about to rob it. A smart camera like that even might be able to notify authorities before the crime even happens. It's a little bit Big Brother, but it's a big step toward machines thinking like humans.

Tax Decentralization and Public Deficits in OECD Countries
This article explores the effect of sub-national tax autonomy and sub-national control over shared taxes on primary deficits with panel data for 23 OECD countries over the 1975--2000 period. The results suggest that sub-national tax autonomy has a U-shaped effect on primary deficits. We find that the "average" country in the sample could increase the fiscal stability of its public sector by reducing sub-national tax autonomy. There is also some indication that sub-national control over shared taxes increases fiscal stability, but we obtain this result only if Belgium and Spain are included in the sample.

Discussion in 'The National Football League' started by Hagar, Feb 6, 2010.
Now that's what I call school spirit!
Student clashes with principal over Colts jersey
Now half the school is going to wear Dolts gear so they can go home early.
Reliant Stadium should enact a similar policy for all the idiots who wear Vince Young jerseys.
And he was wearing an Addai (who's from LSU) jersey.
Gawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate the saints!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gooooooooo colts!!!!!!!!!!
These school administrators aren't busy enough if they're creating these issues. It would prompt me to change to a school without retarded staff.
Amen to that.
School principal and anyone else involved should be fired. No ifs, ands. or buts. Enough said.

Spring has arrived in my neck of the woods and so have my allergies. Woke up this morning completely stuffed up, eyes itching and nose running.
I'll be miserable for weeks and nothing seems to help. I did allergy shots for several years when I had decent health insurance and got no results.
Nothing over the counter seems to help me anymore. Benadryl doesn't even make me drowsy. Allegra and Claritin helped for a while when they were prescription, but since going o over the counter they are useless.
I've tried a neti pot and that gives me some temporary relief but it's unpleasant.
What have you tried that works?

What's being said
I have read this article and I think Yale law school is really good school. I know this school very well because I was a student of this college. I have no doubt that Harvard and Stanford law schools are also well. My request to all parents to not to admit their boys and girls in any 3rd grade law school.
What does it say about New York Law School - always second-rate, but recently spending huge sums on a gorgeous building, expensive leadership, and other improvements - that it nevertheless fell into the unranked tier of schools?
Honestly, I'd like to know what it says about that. Possibly, nothing that hasn't already been said about NYLS; possibly, nothing at all; but possibly there's a new story here.

I am an African American male that lives in Florida. I have a very wide nasal bridge and a very bulbous nasal tip that is poorly refined. I was searching to see if there are any experienced surgeons in the Florida area that specialize in African American Rhinoplasty.
Specialists in African American Rhinoplasty in Florida?
Doctor Answers 5
Rhinoplasty for African-American
There are many good surgeons in Florida that can perform rhinoplasty for African-American patients. One way to begin finding one is to go to the ASAPS or ASPS websites and look for a board certified surgeon
African American Rhinoplasty Surgeon
I would suggest you start off searching for board certified facial plastic surgeons who have experience in cosmetic nose reshaping. Specifically, you should search for those with proven expertise in ethnic rhinoplasty.

African American Rhinoplasty
Practicing in Miami, quite a number of the rhinoplasty surgeries I perform are on patients of African ethnicity. There are a variety of
techniques that are particularly effective, such as the use of columellar cartilage struts, building up of the profile with GoreTex, and nasal narrowing. Properly performed, rhinoplasty surgery can create significant cosmetic improvements as desired.

Who Specializes in African American Rhinoplasty in Florida?
In my opinion, start by identifying board certified plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons in your area. See if Rhinoplasty is frequently performed by the surgeon, review sample photos on their websites and speak to the office concerning the areas of the doctor's expertise. After narrowing down the choices, plan on seeing the surgeons who you feel are a good fit for your needs. The consultation is the final stage, where you get to fully explain your concerns and hear from the surgeon what your options are and what can likely be accomplished with surgery. You would like your surgeon to be approachable and communicative as well as skilled, if possible. Depending upon where you live in Florida, there are a great many talented surgeons performing Rhinoplasty. Follow the steps above and you are likely to find someone who can help you attain your goals. Best of Luck Dr Harrell

Global warming alarmists, picking up where the Grinch left off, are trying to steal Christmas, some critics say. From children's books to school plays, the climate change crowd is dreaming of a green Christmas, angering opponents who say 'tis NOT the season to be preachy.
The children's book "Santa Goes Green" by Anne Margaret Lewis tells how a young boy named Finn gets Santa to leave the North Pole to help him track down Leopold, a polar bear he has adopted, because the sea ice is melting and Leopold's home is in danger.
"You see, it's like this Santa," Finn tells Santa in the book. "I've adopted a polar bear named Leopold. He is in danger of losing his home. I'm sure you being in the North Pole you know about the melting glaciers. All I want this year Santa, is to save Leopold and his home."
Santa is so inspired by his visit to the polar bear that he decides to re-use last year's wrapping paper, recycle toys and start using wind to generate power for his toy shop.
The book ends with a note from Santa urging kids to send him notes on how to take care of the planet.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
But the content has left some reviewers feeling bearish about the book. "The global climate change alarmists are now trying brainwash our kids by infusing their unproven and baseless climate change rhetoric into Santa books," T. Wilkinson wrote on Amazon.com, giving "Santa Goes Green" a one-star review.
"Sad. Really sad," Wilkinson wrote.
Lewis, the author, told USA Today she was inspired to write the book after reading an article with her son Cameron about melting glaciers destroying polar bear habitats.
"He asked how we could help the polar bears, so we started going around the house every time we left a room and shut the lights off," Lewis told the newspaper. "Then we would say, 'We just saved another polar bear."

Many outlets have UGA No. 12; this one won't
A rather strong consensus is emerging: Georgia will enter the season ranked midway through most Top 25s but not in many Top 10s. (There are exceptions, as we'll see.)
Sports Illustrated just revealed its Top 25, and SI has Georgia No. 12, with three SEC teams ahead of it, South Carolina included. ESPN The Magazine likewise has the Bulldogs No. 12, also with three SEC teams ranked higher, South Carolina among them. That dovetails with the USA Today coaches' poll, which had Georgia — do I detect a theme emerging? — No. 12 in the land and fourth in the SEC.
As for the exceptions: Sporting News has Georgia No. 15. (It's also the only outlet I've seen that doesn't have Florida State No. 1. SN goes with Oklahoma.) The idiosyncratic Phil Steele has the Bulldogs No. 7 and picks them to win the SEC East. (He also considers Georgia the team most apt to surprise — in a good way — as was previously noted in this space.)
And then there are the AJC's own rankings, as lovingly and laboriously compiled by yours truly. We've been counting down the Top 25 in the College Football Extra section of our Today's Paper app, and as of this morning we'd gotten to No. 10 (South Carolina). Georgia's name hasn't yet been called. I'm fairly certain it will be soon.

Identifying different flavor notes in wine is a mark of refinement, like discerning the pedigree of a horse by its taste in jazz. Sip on singular vintages with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $33 for five bottles of red wine (a $66.80 Value)
Presorted packages of wine contain five dry, red wines for warming winter months: a 2006 heritage collection, a 2005 cabernet sauvignon, the award-winning 2005 chambourcin, a 2004 RA Faltz vintner reserve, and Big Terra's dry red.
- $36 for a private wine tasting and winery tour for up to six people (a $75 value)
Guests get a glimpse of the winemaking process as they explore the Oswego winery's facilities and savor five samples of its creations in a Fox Valley Winery souvenir tasting glass they can take home. The tour does not include a visit to the Faltz Family Vineyard.
Fox Valley Winery, Inc.
When you think of Illinois, you might not think of a vineyard capable of yielding award-winning wine, but that's exactly what you get with the Faltz Family Vineyard, which supplies Fox Valley Winery. The vineyard produces the grapes for wines that have won various awards in national and international competitions.
The vineyard, located about 20 miles away in Sheridan, supplies grapes through its more than 25 acres of vines draped across the rock-ribbed ledges of the Fox River Valley. This is where the Faltz family, their friends, and their employees spend many days coaxing the crop through the long growing season, checking for proper chemistry, and harvesting the grapes before they turn into talking raisins.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, January 18, 2007
The Washington Nationals' aggressive mining of the international talent market continued yesterday with the signing of four Venezuelan teenagers, days after two team executives traveled to the country on a scouting trip and only a week after the team landed a quartet of players from the Dominican Republic.
Yesterday's bounty included Sandy Leon, a 17-year-old switch-hitting catcher; 16-year-old shortstop Adrian Sanchez, also a switch hitter; 17-year-old center fielder Jesus Morales; and 6-foot-4 first baseman Juan Urdaneta, who also is 17.
Both of the Nationals executives who scouted the players last weekend in Venezuela, scouting director Dana Brown and assistant general manager Mike Rizzo, pointed to Leon as the one who stood out. Leon is expected to begin his professional career in the (Fla.) Gulf Coast rookie league this season, while the others will play the season in the Venezuelan summer league; none can be expected to impact the big league team for at least several years.
"When you get a switch-hitting catcher who has a chance to be an everyday big league player . . . those kind of guys don't come along every day," Brown said of Leon. "We're thrilled about that."
Added Rizzo, "He swings equally well from both sides, with power, and he has legitimate catching skills."
After all but ignoring international amateur talent while the franchise was under Major League Baseball's stewardship from 2002 until last July, the Nationals have moved aggressively in Latin America under new owner Theodore Lerner, and also are upgrading their scouting operation in Asia.
"When I first came in, [the team] had a budget of zero" for international scouting, General Manager Jim Bowden said last week. "After discussions with [ownership] we were able to reallocate some dollars for Latin America. We walked. Now, I think we're jogging. And eventually, we'll be sprinting."

Cuban Government to Censor Reggaeton for Being 'Sexually Explicit'
Cuba's new radio and television ban on "sexually explicit" music could severely impact some of the country's successful reggaeton artists. The government has promised to crack down on "vulgar" songs that objectify women or include references to sex.
Reggaeton artists who are not from Cuba, like Daddy Yankee, Don Omar and Wisin y Yandel, will probably lose nothing more than airplay, but Cuban acts like Osmani Garcia, who has become a reggaeton superstar in his home country, will have to substantially change their lyrics or risk facing penalties.
Orlando Vistel, the director of the Cuban Music Institute, said in an interview with a government-run newspaper that Cuban officials will issue "severe sanctions" against venues that allow performances which break the ethics code. "The majority of the Cuban people has warned us that [music promoters] want to impose on them foreign trends that violate the most fundamental ethical principles."
Cuba is not banning reggaeton music outright, and Vistel acknowledged that questionable lyrics are found in many different types of music. But he did single out reggaeton for being especially problematic: "Vulgar, banal and mediocre expressions can be found in other musical genres too. We should not just target one genre. But it is also true that reggaeton is more notorious than the rest."
Reggaeton emerged in Puerto Rico as a blend of traditional Latin sounds with hip-hop and dancehall. The genre began breaking into the mainstream with hits like Daddy Yankee's 'Gasolina,' which made the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2004.
The government's efforts appear to be an attempt to return the focus to traditional Cuban music on the island. Vistel added, "Neither vulgarity nor mediocrity will be able to tarnish the richness of Cuban music. People can listen to what they want privately. But that freedom doesn't include the right to reproduce and disseminate that music."

I've got the glitter bug! Ask me to make either a cupcake or a cake for Christmas and glitter always makes an appearance. It's something to do with my love of Christmas bling, which is perhaps the only time I can realistically get away with it.
My cupcakes are a vanilla flavoured sponge topped with lemon flavoured royal icing. The cupcakes were baked in gold foil cases and when the cupcakes have cooled down, the peaks are cut off with a knife to give a level cake surface. Smother the cupcakes in icing and leave to set.
Cut out some fondant icing shapes and leave them to dry for a while. Brush with a little water and dust the shapes with glitter. Now brush the underneath of the fondant shapes with water and place onto the cupcakes. Sprinkle with yet more glitter.


text: That was a very very poor dismissal. First, how can we be sure that if any of the others would have been in Otto's spot that they would have taken them back in instantly. Secondly, if you get a once in a lifetime chance stay and get dismissed don't dismiss yourself, and thirdly I am sick of these reality contestants being complete jerks. Those two girls knew Cliff had immunity, there was two of them, and they knew they sucked as a team so they picked an easy target to take the heat from them and put someone else in the bad target seat. I have great integrity and I can honestly say that if I had something on the bottom of my cart and left without paying I have no idea if I would be honest enough to take it back immediately. I don't like admitting that, but for them two girls to act like they are morally better I doubt they are.

Dita wants her jewellery to go to good homes
Dita Von Teese can't stop herself from buying vintage jewellery.
The burlesque star is known for her porcelain skin, jet-black locks and retro style, which she shows off at various fashion events.
In her spare time Dita loves to browse flea markets to add to her vintage trinket collection. However, with the assortment ever growing, the 42-year-old has decided to sell off some pieces via the app Depop. She simply takes a photo of the jewellery and the picture goes up online for users to browse.
"I love collecting. I can't help it. Every time I see something I feel like I need to buy it," she laughed to WWD. "So I have too many things and I thought after all those years I should let things go to someone who would appreciate it."
Last week Dita put her style in the spotlight at the presentation of Pasquale Bruni's latest jewellery collection, Giardini Segreti. Meaning Secret Gardens in English, the event took place at Atellani Villa in Milan and was surrounded by a Leonardo da Vinci vineyard and courtyard.
Dita wore a gorgeous royal blue Alice Temperley dress which clung at her enviable hourglass figure. To accessorise she wore matching coloured Christian Louboutin shoes and held a gorgeous Swarovski clutch bag.
"I have worn a lot of Pasquale Bruni's jewellery back in Los Angeles, but this is the first time that I have actually met the family," she said at the bash.
Dita is such a fan of Christian Louboutin that she teamed up with the label last year on a lingerie line. She's an expert in creating underwear, having her own range Von Follies by Dita Von Teese under her belt along with ventures such a pregnancy line with Destination Maternity.
