When space tourism finally takes off and the rich and famous head off for a holiday in orbit as easily as on the Riviera, they may want to sip something stronger than Tang as they gaze down at Earth.
Something like whisky, perhaps.
"When they go on a bit of an adventure, it's the thing people want to take with them," said Peter Moore, the brand director for Ballantine's, a maker of blended Scotch.
Ballantine's is already looking ahead to that future, financing the development of a glass for sipping while floating in weightlessness, which it unveiled on Friday.
"This is about getting ourselves ready," Mr. Moore said. "Space tourism is going to develop. Personally, I think it's going to develop quite quickly."
On Monday, Ardbeg, a whisky distillery on the Scottish island of Islay, announced findings from an experiment it had sent to the International Space Station. Whisky aged in a weightless environment accentuated Ardbeg's smokiness and revealed other flavors and aroms, said Bill Lumsden, Ardbeg's director of distilling and whisky creation.
"This set of results have opened up my eyes that there are other flavors in there that I've never encountered before," Dr. Lumsden said.
Without gravity, it is impossible to pour a liquid, and runaway droplets could splash in inconvenient places like electronic circuitry. For a glass that offered a refined drinking experience reminiscent to that on Earth required the manipulation of some counterintuitive principles of fluid dynamics.
The bottom of the bulbous glass, made of gold-plated stainless steel, contains a spiral ring for a reservoir of whisky to cling to. Through a phenomenon known as capillary action, first observed by Leonardo da Vinci, the whisky is drawn upward through a helical channel within the side of the glass to a mouthpiece at the rim for a space traveler to drink.
"It's so magical how things behave when you take gravity away," said James Parr, founder of the Open Space Agency, an organization of space technology enthusiasts in London that designed the space glass for Ballantine's.
On Earth, the downward drag of gravity overwhelms the capillary action. To test whether the design worked, Mr. Parr took the space glass to Bremen, Germany, to a 480-foot tall laboratory facility known as a drop tower. Whisky was poured into the bottom of the glass, which was then placed into a cylindrical capsule and winched to the top of a vacuum-sealed shaft. Dropping the capsule down the airless shaft creates nearly zero-gravity conditions for about four seconds, until it makes a cushioned landing at the bottom.
During the drop, video cameras recorded the motion of the whisky. "The whisky started climbing up the capillary to the mouthpiece, and it happened completely to script," Mr. Parr said.
In addition, Ballantine's master blender, Sandy Hyslop, created a special version with a sweeter, spicier taste to compensate for the muted sensory experiences that astronauts report in the weightlessness of orbit. Without gravity, water in an astronaut's body floats upward, and the result is congestion similar to a perpetual head cold.
Neither the whisky nor the glass will be a commercial product anytime soon. There is only one space glass in the world at present (two more, tweaked and improved, are being made), and just 11 bottles of the space blend.
There is whiskey currently zipping around the Earth on the International Space Station — but only for the sake of science. In August, the Japanese conglomerate Suntory sent up an experiment similar to Ardbeg's, to test a hypothesis that aging liquor in a zero-gravity environment, in the absence of convection, would lead to a mellower final product.
In the Ardbeg experiment, 32 vials, each with six milliliters of unaged whisky, were sent to the space station in 2011 and then mixed with oak shavings. After 971 days of aging, the whisky returned to Earth last year to be compared with samples that had been aged on the ground. Dr. Lumsden and a panel of experts sniffed and tasted, and he ran them through a battery of chemical analyses.
The whisky aged on the space station had lower amounts of certain compounds that are usually extracted from the oak. Dr. Lumsden's tasting notes include the flavors and aromas of lilac, chocolate, rum raisin ice cream, cherries, and a savory meatiness. "I describe flavors in there which are very unusual for Ardbeg or indeed any other whisky," Dr. Lumsden said. "I liked it a lot."
Only 20 milliliters remain — about two-thirds of an ounce. Dr. Lumsden said he was inspired to try to reproduce the flavors on Earth and had started thinking about follow-up experiments.
At present, opportunities for drinking whiskey, or any alcohol, in space are limited.
NASA packed spirits for its astronauts once — brandy to celebrate Christmas during the Apollo 8 swing around the moon in 1968. But Frank Borman, the commander, ordered that the brandy remain unopened. (James Lovell later auctioned off his two-ounce bottle, still unopened.)
In 1969, after Apollo 11 set down on the moon, Buzz Aldrin held a private Communion for himself with wine and bread. "I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me," he wrote in an article published in the magazine Guideposts the following year. "In the one-sixth gravity of the moon the wine curled slowly and gracefully up the side of the cup."
In the 1970s, NASA added sherry to the menu for astronauts on the Skylab space station, but backtracked when letters of outrage arrived. Since then, prohibition has been the rule on NASA missions.
The Russians have had a more lax attitude to alcohol in space, at least during the era of the Mir space station. (In 1998, Jerry Linenger, a NASA astronaut on Mir, took a photograph of his Russian colleagues breaking out bottles of cognac to relax right after extinguishing a fire that almost destroyed Mir.) In recent years, they have been reticent about whether their astronauts are bringing spirits to the International Space Station.
But the space whisky glass could be used for any beverage. Mr. Parr said he had had preliminary talks with Made in Space, a company that sent a 3-D printer to the space station, to discuss the possibility of fabricating one of the glasses in space for more extensive testing by astronauts.
From the beginning of the space age, astronauts have had to drink through straws out of plastic bags. Donald Pettit, a NASA astronaut, complained about that during a trip to the space station in 2008, which caught the attention of Mark Weislogel, a professor of materials and mechanical engineering at Portland State University in Oregon.
Dr. Weislogel's research involves moving liquids in low gravity via capillary action without pumps, a principle used to shift fuel from tanks to engines, circulate coolant and process water. He emailed Dr. Pettit with a suggestion for a coffee cup that would work in weightlessness.
Dr. Pettit took a sheet of plastic and folded and taped it into the shape that Dr. Weislogel had suggested, with a teardrop-shaped cross-section like an aircraft wing, one side rounded and the other with a sharp fold.
The fluid flowed upward along the fold to the top of the cup where Dr. Pettit could sip it, and as he sipped, more fluid flowed up, allowing him to empty the cup. "It's a result of surface tension and curvature of a surface," Dr. Weislogel said. "The fluid seeks out the narrower region of the container."
Here is a video of Dr. Pettit describing the invention:
"He made several of them, and he toasted with a bunch of astronauts all drinking from these little things," Dr. Weislogel said. "It was funny."
More recently, when he heard that the an espresso machine built by Lavazza, an Italian coffee company, and Argotec, an aerospace engineering firm, would be headed to the space station this year, Dr. Weislogel and his collaborators at IRPI, a small aerospace company, came up with a more carefully engineered version. It looks somewhat like a toddler's bootie, an odd shape that "falls out of the mathematics," Dr. Weislogel said.
The cup has been tested by astronauts on the space station with coffee, tea, juice and smoothies. "It works very well," he said.
Ballantine's space glass grew out of brainstorming on how to innovate whiskey drinking for the 21st century. Initial ideas like a Bluetooth-connected whisky glass fell by the wayside. But when the idea of whisky in space was floated, "There was a little bit of intake of breath," Mr. Moore recalled, "and 'isn't that a little bit far out?'"
After view Ballantine's video describing the development work and the drop tests, Dr. Weislogel said, "I think this is cool," but added, "This container on its own will also have some problems." A bubble could form, blocking the channel and the flow of whisky, he said.
Now that the space glass is finished, Ballantine's will look to see what opportunities may exist in space tourism. (Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson's company that aims to send people on short suborbital flights to the edge of space, has already partnered with Grey Goose, the vodka maker.)
"We've created an artifact from the future," Mr. Parr said.

Tom Forella provided me with much information so fortunately I did not have to give a speech.
I am sure everyone will enjoy Tom's account of the many cruises throughout the years. I am sure everyone will want to sign up for future Connecticut River Cruises.
Written By Tom Forella
It turns out the Forella's have been hosting the CT River Cruise since 1986...the year I (Tom) was married as it happens. Yikes, I didn't realize it had been that long. Allen Ames on Sesame hosted it in 1985 and then we began our run. Here's a list of the themes:
1986 Forella's discover Christopher Columbus's Longo Rangio Navigando Machino (Loran C). Inflatable rowing races were held.
1987 Tender Olympic Water Games, complete with a floating (and lit) Olympic Torch in honor of the Summer Olympics.
1988 Monohull Catamaran Dinghies (In honor of Dennis Connor's America's Cup catamaran). (It poured and we never did it.)
1989 Limerick Races (We received some very good ones. I saved them all.)
1990 Sea Shanty Races (Almost as good as the Limericks)
1991 Phonetic Alphabet Race (Tell a story using the Navy's phonetic alphabet)
1992 An Interview with Christopher Columbus
1993 Halloween Costume Race
1994 A New National Pastime (in honor of the Baseball Strike). Had to write nautical words to baseball songs.
1995 Hurricane Lanterns to ward off hurricanes (made from pumpkins)
1996 Kid's Activities Time (you know where my head was at this point in life...my son Tim was born two weeks later)
1997 A Light Hearted Tribute to Hig (I can't believe its been 10 years...)
1998 "What'd You Do this Summer?" Tell us a story about your summer yachting. (My kids were writing an essay on what they did for summer vacation.)
1999 New Years Eve Party in honor of Y2K (Complete with a red apple that descended a rig as we counted down to zero. Good party.)
2000 Limericks II (Almost as good as the first one)
2001 Hors D'Oeuvre Race (we ate well that year)
2002 Jazzin' Up the Place (dedicated to jazz music...bring an instrument and play)
2003 All Star Weekend (comes as your favorite athlete...Jon Orzolek's son came in his downhill ski racing suit))
2004 Hurricane Lanterns II (the effects from 1995 had worn off. An artsy guy named Charlie took top honors)
2005 Navigation Aid for BYC of the South. (A musical weekend to benefit Biloxi Yacht Club after Hurricane Katrina) It poured and nobody showed so the benefit was carried into 2006. We ultimately gave Biloxi YC $400.
2006 A Rendezvous in the Pirates Lair (In honor of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean smash hit. We had a ball.)
2007 to be determined...
Here's a paragraph my father and I wrote in 1992 on the 500th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of America: "It began spontaneously in the 1960's when boats were made of wood. So much work went into commissioning wooden boats each year, that many people did not launch until well after Memorial Day. (In fact, the Club Commissioning at Mystic Seaport was probably made possible by the advent of fiberglass boats.) Some members worked so long on commissioning their boats that they would not believe the season ended after Labor Day. After all, they had practically just put their boats in the water. So, Ed Higgins, Pat Papineau, and Lem Hoops started this fun race to Hamburg Cove in their Warner 20 and Eastward Ho sloops rigged like catboats. The coveted first place trophy, a large silver bowl called the Caribita Cup was donated by Ed Higgins, skipper of the Warner 20 (reportably with the quietest engine) named Caribita. Now, some thirty years later, the race has evolved into an event where we race, raft, award prizes, socialize, and have fun. To keep it interesting for all, the Race Committee decides prize winners based on a variety of factors, only one of which is finish position. Most importantly, every boat gets a prize!" After having passed responsibility for the event to us in 1986, Hoops stayed involved through 1993 as our Finishing Committee Boat of the entrance to Hamburg Cove. I guess it took that long for us to convince him the event was in good hands.
One of my fondest memories was the year Papineau, Hoops and Ames basically told me "you need to take this over and keep the tradition alive; here's how we do it." We sat in the bow of Sesame (I think) and went over that year's results right then and there. I laughed through the whole thing. Those guys are very funny. But they taught me how to do the whole thing. Everybody gets a prize. Everybody gets their name read. People love to hear their name announced. I learned that running dinghy racing for 9 years. I remember the year my father's old boat won the Caribita Cup. I'd have to look at the trophy to get the year right. Jon Orzolek has it now. It was maybe 1971. And our 34' wooden Alden cutter, Valorosa, had won the the big prize. I'm 12 years old and I was thrilled. We'd never won anything with that old boat. And we just won a big silver bowl. But that was the point and the lesson that Papineau, Hoops, and Ames relayed. Try to have this race won by the guys who never get silver. And we've stuck by that. Sure, every now and then somebody really dazzles us and we give it to a go-fast boat. But usually, we find a technicality that results in a disqualification or a penalty and an unsuspecting guy gets the top prize to put on his mantle for a year. Lately, we seem to give it to more powerboats. That's who shows up. Things are little different now. Not as many boats sail the course. Its not easy sailing under mainsail only with the puffy wind and all the current. Not as many people come to the river in the fall if the weather isn't perfect. They don't know what their missing. More people keep their boats in Mystic or other points east. That's ok with us. We plan to keep doing it as long as they'll let us. Its the last true on the water event. We don't go ashore. We have three moorings right next to each other. We tie as many boats together as we can, make sure everybody's safe, and have a pretty good time. There's truly no other event like it.
OK, one more story. Last year, Rich Astles shows up with his son Cameron on Richie's fathers boat, Dick & Bev's, Shabu. Rich is about 6 years younger than I am I think. When I used to sail with my father, back when I met the three Saltzman brothers, we spent a lot of time hanging with Dick & Bev. I taught Richie how to sail a dyer dhow at Napatree in about 1974 or thereabouts. So, fast forward to 2006. Little Richie is a captain on big ships now. I mean big hips. He ships out for months at a time. He comes to Columbus Day weekend with his son on his Grandpa's boat, sails a marvelous race, almost got beat by Jon Orzolek, but recovers in the end to get the gun. First place finish. (Of course, this was a pirate race, so everybody pretty much got a gun or a sword or something.) Now, we hadn't seen Dick & Bev at Hamburg Cove for a couple of years. They'd been doing the Great Loop and hadn't been around, writing for cruising guides and all. So, we acknowledge Shabu's terrific finish at the results party, and congratulate her for finally finishing the 2004 race and DSQ her from this year's race. Heck, Shabu had won the Caribita and Sweethearty Trophies at least once each and probably more. Richie couldn't believe it. The teacher DSQ's him! I told him to come back next year and try it again. I bet he shows if he can arrange it...

Made it out to Mountains & Molehills at the Free Times on Tuesday night. What a treat it is to have daylight after 5 pm 🙂 even better, still daylight when I left at 8. Host Dan Curtis Thompson put tighter another night of fun, funny and skilled performers.
glass table
The open stage is often as educational as it is entertaining. I learned never take your eyes of the road while cat-calling a babe's hot ass; 'I have a lot of trouble relating to kids my age because I am more racist.' 'In the world of Pokemon there are no chickens or other animals.' (are they vegan)'My breath gets shallow like water nothing can swim in.' Straight guys often get girlfriends just so their parents won't think they are gay.
First feature was Daniel Williston with a classic story teller story set in Moose Jaw – 'the land is so flat people can watch you run away for two days.' He incorporated horror movie tropes: the scarecrow that appears then disappears, a thick rolling fog, a tinted-windshield car that follows you, mysterious messages from led read outs – into a tale of drunken growing up in a small town.
glass table
Next up what Camille Côté with more of a stand up set around a break up than story telling – no complaints from the audience though. The break up was like a very slow-mo car crash, so slow she could have got out and walked away with no trouble but stuck in any way. 'No amount of 11 11 wishes will make a bad relationship better.' Funny without relying on punchlines it was a strong set.
glass table reflections
Last feature Kyle Lucey – must have enjoyed Camille's cock size jokes as he had a bit of trouble 'adjusting' himself before he started. Another more stand-up, than a story telling, set, themed around growing up poor in Canada. 'Has anyone here lived in a van?' Loopy logic held the set together, for me, and again I like comics who don't need punch lines to get laughs. 'I need a woman in my life. Be my mom.' Another strong set.
Dan's pic of me on the open stage:
A Walk in the Park
I was walking though the park
eyes open for dog shit
I turn a corner and there is this couple
female splayed on a picnic table
a man on his knees between her legs
she moaning pushing his head deeper
his hairy ass bare in the sun
her eyes catch mine
I can't tell if the expression
is pleasure invitation dare
or what the fuck are you looking at
he stands and half turns
cock flashing in crisp light
she licks her lips
I keep going that image in my mind
his jeans crumpled below his knees
her panties around one ankle
their faces gleaming beaming
what brought them to that place and time
were they walking along
so aroused they had to have each other
or a couple who needed an audience
to take them to another level of orgasm
or was she a working girl
and didn't care where she made a buck
when I doubled back
all that remained
was a pair of panties
Like my pictures? I post lots on Tumblr

Andie MacDowell accentuates her art in a Jumpsuit with Michael
Keaton at Santa Barbara (Source: Yellowstoneart.blogspot.com)
Whether rocking or not in all dolled up, this superstar never looks anything less than slender.
We love that Andie MacDowell can still impress her fans and that's exactly What she did in this lovely design at Santa Barabara International Film Festival.
On Saturday, January 3, 2015, the 56-year-old showed off her typically stylish in a dark Jumpsuit, displaying her slim waist, the chic garment featured a daring bakless theme and halter top panel, which accentuated Andie's trim figure.
The actress also added height to her frame with a pair of high heels as she completing her night out look with a softly make-up to plumping her beautifully long hair.
Guess what? The totally art were fabricating many people attention! Just like the natural disaster their song was named after and Michael Keaton certainly willing to accompanied everywhere she go.
And it would seem the reality was improved into another good temperature. . . . . . . . .Cause the actor looked very matching with condition in his suits.

Operators of approved authorised treatment facilities (AATFs) are disputing producer claims that a likely failure to hit 2017 WEEE recycling targets is down to a lack of availability.
The AATF Forum, a newly formed body of 18 businesses accounting for 90% of the UK's AATF capacity, says that data is being misrepresented and any shortfall is more about leakage from the formal WEEE regulations system.
Producer compliance schemes (PCSs), which represent those putting electronic and electrical equipment (EEE) on the market, argue that any failure to meet the 2017 WEEE target is, in part, because of flat and, in some categories, falling sales which affects consumer recycling behaviour.
The forum has two graphs (below) showing new EEE placed on the market and the WEEE collected on a quarterly basis during the past six years.
The decline in collection of most streams is significantly greater than the decline in EEE placed on the market. The forum says there are two areas of concern:
AATF Forum WEEE collection data
- Unrecorded reuse: it says significant quantities of used appliances and displays, especially from retailer collections and warranty returns, are being treated for reuse without being classified as waste
- Illegal exports and unreported treatment: AATF Forum members say there has been an increase in enquiries from "dubious" businesses seeking to purchase any usable items for export, regardless of the condition, and that WEEE from car-boot sales and online platforms is also being exported illegally
There is also a claim that large quantities of 'unobligated' WEEE reported by AATFs are not being captured for evidence.
Looking at the particular category of large domestic appliances (LDAs), it says that collections by PCSs are running at 40% less than 2016 levels and PCSs are "less willing to do more than collect what they are legally required to" from local authorities.
A forum statement said: "The UK is required to meet a 65% collection target by 2019. With actual recorded collections running at around 40%, this will be extremely challenging.
"It will need a robust AATF infrastructure which will only happen if WEEE is properly collected, recorded and delivered, and this will only happen with challenging targets that require PCSs to engage in active collection growth."
It is not clear to the forum whether or not non-obligated is being correctly reported and it is in discussion with the relevant agencies to try to make reporting requirements clearer.
- The AATF Forum was established in October 2017 and its founding members were: AO, Eco Technology, Electrical Waste, EMR, Environcom, GAP Waste, Light Brothers, London Mining, Mercury Recycling, Recycling Lives, S Norton, Sims, SWEEEP, Veolia, Viridor and Wiser.

In order for every petite woman to find the best petite style most suitable for her body features, the Petite Dressing team have done a very deep dive on the petite body type theory, i.e. the commonly known "Apple, Pear, Inverted triangle, Rectangle and Hourglass" body shapes and how they apply to a woman under 5'4". (If you still do not know what type you are, take our petite body type quiz and find out).
Now, another important aspect of knowing about your body is the vertical body shape, i.e. the balance of your torso vs your legs. In other words, do you have short torso? Or long torso?
In general, if you have short torso, it implies your legs are relatively long. Of course the concept of long legs here is relative because we are talking about it in the context of petite fashion. After all, petite women are under 5'4", so our definition of long legs here is certainly different than someone who is 5'7".
Your vertical body type can also impact your rise. Typically if you have short torso, your pants rise may also be shorter. That could determine how you should choose petite jumpsuit, petite pants and petite jeans.
If you have short torso, you probably already know it. If you don't, here is how you can determine:
Are you petite but petite size pants are too short for you?
Is our hipline is higher than half of your full height?
Do you have a high waist line (higher than your bent elbow)?
Do you have round and high bottom?
Do you tend to put on weight around your waist, above your waist or on the back of your hips?
If you answers to the above questions are mostly yes, then you are mostly likely the short torso long leg type. Amongst famous petite celebrities, Nicole Richie (5'1″) has a typical short torso long leg body type.
As a petite woman, having a short torso and long legs is viewed as a very positive body feature. The reason is quite simple- most petite women would love to have their legs look longer! If that's what you are naturally born with, you should feel blessed!
That said, we do want to look at how to dress your short torso properly in order to achieve the vertical balance. Even though we all are jealous of your long legs, you do still want to look balanced overall. In general, women with short torso want to draw the eye down in order to create the illusion of a longer torso. However, because you are petite, some styling tips that work for a taller woman will not look good on you. So, the key here is to carefully achieve a balance.
Here is what will flatter a petite woman with short torso
- Mid rise pants. For women above 5'4", wearing low rise pants probably will make their short torso look longer. However, because you are short, we do not recommend low rise pants. A pair of mid rise pants will do the job the flatter your short torso without reducing too much of your leg length (after all, we do still want to look taller than we are)
2. Medium tops. Again, many stylists advise women with short torso to go with long tops, which, however, is not flattering to petite women. Therefore, a medium length top should be the way to go if you are petite with short torso. That means your tops or jackets should probably hit just over your hip bone, but not too much over. That will create the illusion of longer torso without making you look shorter.
3. Tops with vertical lines. This will lengthen your short torso and also make you look taller overall, so they are good for your specific body type as well as your height as a petite woman.
4. Untucked tops. The reason is obvious. If you tuck your tops, it will only make your upper body look shorter. Wear a medium length top and let it naturally flow through your waistline is the way to go if you have short torso.
5. Shift dress or drop waisted dress. These are flattering to your short torso because the shift dress defocus on the waistline, thus taking people's attention away from your torso length. Drop waisted dress is also great because they make your waist looks longer, thus making your upper body look longer. Because you are petite, you want to make sure you choose the right length for the dresses. In general, 3-4 inches above your knee is the most flattering length for petite women.
Above mentioned is the common advice that would look good generally for petite women with short torso and long legs. Now, let's also look at the style you should stay away from or at least be careful about
- High wasited pants or skirts. The high waisted style is commonly known as a wardrobe must have for petite women because of its leg lengthening effect. However, since your torso is already short, wearing a high wasited style will only make them look shorter. Therefore, going with a mid waist style is a better choice for you.
- Crop tops. Again, this is normally a very flattering style for petite women who want their legs to look longer. However, if you have short torso, this will only make that more obvious.
- Wide belts. Ok, this one is intuitive. The width of the belt draws people's attention to your waistline, and it makes it look shorter because it's covered by the waist. We generally do not recommend petite women to go with wide belts because they cover too much of our waist area and vertically shortens us. If you have short torso, it will not only make your torso look even shorter (because it's covered by the belt) but also make you look shorter. So, obviously a double no no. Therefore, a skinny belt is better choice for you, or no belt at all. For women with short torso, the important trick of wearing a belt is to not wear it at your natural waistline but to wear it around your hip. By doing so, it will look like your torso is longer and create a balance of between your torso and your legs. (Read 7 Smart Ways to Style Accessories for Women of Petite Height)

Product code: OSD-RS800TT
The RS800TT rock speaker is a space-saving alternative for outdoor sound with plenty of power. Sold as a single speaker, this model uses a dual voice coil design that delivers both left and right channels from one weather-resistant rock speaker. Separate dual tweeters are mounted at 18° angles for optimum stereo sound dispersion so you get stereo sound from one speaker! The large 8" injection-molded, carbon fiber filled, polypropylene woofer cone is is extremely rigid for tight bass, reduced breakup and lowered distortion. Butyl rubber cone surround damps resonance and provides exceptional durability. The speaker-forward design positions the speaker close to the grille ensuring an accurate mid-range.
Features our Customers Love
Dual voice coil design provides stereo sound from one speaker
All-weather components are fabricated to withstand rain, temperatures and other harsh weather conditions
Large 8 cone woofer for excellent bass response
Enclosures made from aerospace-grade, multi-layer composite cabinetry for a long and happy life
A Few Tips on Installing Rock Speakers
OSD Audio rock speakers are not difficult to install, and you dont need the handy gene to get these speakers up and running. First decide where you want them to go (this is the fun part). Customers generally locate them in areas where a natural rock might be found such as bordering a garden area. Unlike the indoors, your rock speakers wont have the acoustic benefit of walls and ceilings to reflect sound. Dont worry, our speakers are designed for this but some customers like to place them near retaining walls or near the sides of their house for sound reflection. The speakers come with a 3-foot lead wire that will connect to CL3 rated outdoor speaker cable (available in our cable section). This cable will run to your power source (amp/receiver). Always purchase more speaker cable than you need as its easier to cut than add more later, and when connecting the leads to the cable, use burial connectors for added protection. Some folks bury their rock speakers an inch into the ground but it's not necessary as our rock speakers are heavy and will say put. Most customers do bury the cable about 4-6 so its not visible, plus it wont pose a danger of somebody tripping or become a tempting chew toy for the family pet. Once connected to your source, you can start enjoying your favorite music.
To improve longevity of the surface quality on our outdoor speakers, place the rocks in a shaded area to prevent color fade from too much direct sunlight. It is recommended to keep our outdoor speakers out of contact with any chemicals that may be present in your yard. We encourage you to bring the speakers indoors or cover them up during the off seasons to ensure a longer life for the speaker

Hot damn! My awful sir you have the most amount of minuses I have ever witnessed in the history of minuses!
hahahahahahah omg i have 49 minuses
wtf 50- dislike lol
Now its 67 - a new record
LOL this looks nice, very nice, good luck with modelling new units!!!
nice work. too bad you can't use it to transport other units around, but that doesn't matter at the moment. This mod is epic!
wolf,most LBs now are usually used for Reconnaissance and light assault.
Very impressive modelling!
What role will this take? Reconnaissance?
Looks great...
Looks great
Can you add transperancy to the windshield? At the moment it looks very mirrored
unfortunately the CoH engine doesn't support transparency other than 100% or 0%. We have tried with a 30% alpha mask, but it didn't work.
too bad,never mind its awsome anyway!
Can you not do transparency the same way you did rotor blur?
No that is FX texture based, and since there is no compatible .bfx burner we can't create our own fx =(
Looking very good. Does it have any armaments?
No. It doesn't fulfill a direct-combat role.
It could also have a version for strafe off-map support?
Like in CoH.
Also I dont get how the apache will work? (Like the Henshel?)
wow this looks so sick!
how did you do this? How can you make it fly?
or is it just like an offmap reconaissence plane that
just flies over one time?
edit: oh lol i already know ;)
anyway NICE job!
How does flying work?
it is just an off-map ability. But flying in general works by setting an offset point in the vertical direction.
Nice to see my LB ingame :D
Nice work.
If this is recon heli... Will there be some fire support helicopters? And will it be deferent models or weaponry systems will be installed on this one?
There will be the Apache as a fire support helicopter:

Via an article on a 5-blade MT propeller option for the Pilatus PC12 NG I stumbled across claims that the interior of this aircraft is very noisy indeed; not only noisier than other comparable planes but actually to a level at which routinely used noise protection would have to be recommended even for passengers. The MT propeller option, by the way, is supposed to reduce internal (and external) noise levels.
Can anyone shed further light on this? Is the famed Pilatus really such a noisy aircraft? Do you have personal experience with this and/or test data?
I very much like the thought of piloting the PC 12 one day and am simply curious.
Many thanks for any input

New record keeping requirements from April 2015
From the 5th April 2015, Manufacturers, importers, distributors, and anyone who acquires or keeps civil explosives will have to keep a record of the explosives throughout the supply chain and life cycle. The records should allow tracking and identification of an explosive at any time, and should be kept for 10 years after the date when the explosive was used, transferred to another person or destroyed, even if the manufacturers, importers, distributors, and anyone who acquires or keeps the explosives, have ceased trading.
In relation to shooting sports; records are not required to be kept for civil explosives that are:
- Acquired or kept by private individuals other than in connection with their work and that are solely for their own personal use.
- Cap-type primers, which consist of a metal or plastic cap containing a small amount of primary explosive mixture that is readily ignited by impact and which serve as igniting elements in small arms cartridges or in percussion primers for propelling charges.

Knife crime has been a growing problem and BASC continues to work with Government to ensure that knife laws remain balanced and proportionate. BASC remains committed to maintain effective laws to eliminate knife crime and to protect those who have a legitimate requirement to sell, carry and use knives for sport, business and recreational activities.
Legislation is becoming ever more complicated today in an attempt to stay ahead of crime trends. Legislative disparity also exists where devolved Governments have made their own changes for local communities. Whether or not these changes have impact on knife crime, could these measures put you the wrong side of the law? This page is dedicated to providing up to date legal advice about current and proposed legislation so that you can stay sharp about knife law. We will update this page when developments happen.

January 2015 – BASC and National Crime Agency collaborate to provide firearms security advice
The advice, Protect Your Firearm, Protect Your Sport, shares tips with certificate holders on storage and transportation and on keeping vigilant when out and about. It also shows the steps that can be taken to avoid being targeted via social media.
BASC and National Crime Agency security advice (A4)
BASC and National Crime Agency security advice (A5)
BASC Security Advice – BASC discusses your legal obligations……………..
As the holder of a firearm or shotgun certificate you are required to comply with the conditions on your certificate relating to security – conditions 4 (a) &(b).
Condition 4 (a)
"The firearms and ammunition [or shotguns] to which the certificate relates must at all times (except in the circumstances set out in paragraph (b) below) be stored securely so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, access to the firearms or ammunition by an unauthorised person."
Condition 4 (b)
"Where a firearm or ammunition [or shotgun] to which the certificate relates is in use or the holder of the certificate has the firearm with him for the purpose of cleaning, repairing or testing it or for some other purpose connected with its use, transfer or sale, or the firearm or ammunition is in transit to or from a place in connection with its use or any such purpose, reasonable precautions must be taken for the safe custody of the firearm or the ammunition."
The security requirement relates to all firearms, sound moderators and ammunition held on a firearm certificate. On a shotgun certificate it only relates to the shotguns, not cartridges. However, it makes sense to keep them hidden away and well away from your shotgun storage.
In practice, this means that when you're not using your guns they should be locked away from anyone who hasn't got a certificate. This includes family members. Undoubtedly the best option is a purpose-built gun cabinet.
Your gun cabinet should be secured firmly so that it can't easily be removed – usually by bolting it to a wall, floor or joists. It is best secured in a corner to make it difficult for a thief to attack it.
You should ensure that you keep the keys to the cabinet in a place where they can't be found easily. Remember that YOU are responsible for the security of the guns, and letting people who do not have a certificate (including family members) know where the keys are, is NOT taking reasonable precautions to ensure that they don't have access to the guns.
Criminals are aware of the habit of "hiding" keys in a drawer, so think carefully about the hiding place. It would be sensible to consider changing that hiding place from time to time. Another option is to put the keys into a small combination safe – for which only you have the combination. Another option is a gun safe with a combination lock. Equal care should be taken to prevent anyone else knowing the access codes.
When you come in from shooting, it's best to clean your guns immediately then put them into their cabinet and lock them away as soon as possible. Leaving guns out "to dry" could compromise security. Modern lubricants and water-dispersants have made drying simple and quick.
When you return from a shoot make sure you haven't dropped any ammunition in your car, or left any in the glove compartment or door pockets. Check your own pockets to ensure that you haven't left any there as well, and put it all in your separate ammunition storage.
There will be many occasions when you need to take your guns out for other reasons, and again the same applies – make sure you don't leave them lying around, and put them back in secure storage when you've finished.
If you are in a vehicle and need to stop and leave it with guns or ammunition in it for any reason, make sure nothing shows which might indicate that there might be guns in it.
If possible park it where it can be seen or overlooked, and reverse up to a wall making access to the boot difficult. The vehicle should be locked and alarmed.
You should not leave the vehicle longer than necessary. You might also use devices such as security cables. Vehicle-mounted gun safes are also available. It would be wise to take other precautions such as taking parts such as a rifle bolt or fore-end with you as an additional security measure.
If you have any doubt, remember that as a BASC member, you can call on the BASC firearms team for help and advice on the subject. Call 01244 573010 or email.
The Home Office has published a handbook which provides detailed advice on firearm security – which can be found at:
Remember it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that unauthorised people don't have access to your guns. It is an offence if you fail to do so, and you could be prosecuted and have your certificate revoked if you are careless in this respect.
We each have a responsibility to make sure guns do not fall into the wrong hands.
It is inevitable that police officers and sporting shooters will cross paths with each other at some point in their lives. This section aims to provide practical and legal advice for situations that both the police and shooters may find themselves involved in.
In our experience not all police officers are aware of lawful shooting activities, where they are likely to occur, or how the shooting community go about those activities. Equally is unlikely that most shooters will know about police procedures until they have gone through that process themselves.
Some fact sheets are aimed at the shooter to help them to understand police procedures, regardless of the end result. In many cases people are investigated by the police and released without charge, and some are dealt with through the criminal justice system but it is important that all parties know the systems they are subject to and to remain open minded.

Nonfiction Monday is hosted today by Apples With Many Seeds.
My selection is American Boy: the Adventures of Mark Twain written and illustrated by Don Brown.
Beginning with Samuel Clemens' childhood in Hannibal, Missouri, Brown weaves stories of Clemens' youth with their later impact on the writer we know as Mark Twain. This picture book biography shares with readers the most influential highlights: Hannibal, the Mississippi, experiences with Sam's family and friends -- adventures that later found their way into Twain's short stories and novels.
The lively writing, incorporating quotes from Twain, holds the reader's attention while skillfully imparting biographical information. This is a lovely introduction to one of America's most beloved writers.

Not only is the Park Annia Hotel beautifully landscaped, but it offers guests the convenience of a complimentary shuttle. If you're looking for more luxurious accommodations, you'll want to book a room at the Venice Dream House. This hotel has extras like kitchenettes in the guest rooms and bellhops to assist you with anything you might need. Another option is to stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Venice Airport. This budget-friendly hotel has a business center with high-speed Internet access for corporate travelers. Finally, guests can secure lodging at Hotel Astoria. Conveniently located next to St. Mark's Basilica, this cheap hotel serves a hot breakfast each morning and has its very own tour assistance desk.
Many of the hotels in Venice offer a free shuttle to transport guests to and from the airport. Should your hotel not offer this service, there is no need to panic. Venice airport is connected to both the Venice Mestre railway station, and the Piazzale Roma bus terminal. Another option is to take the Piazza San Marco's water taxi.
One plus to flying into the Venice Airport are the plethora of restaurants and food stands. This allows you to grab a quick bite before heading off to your hotel. The Bricco Restaurant serves Italian favorites, including pizza, while Rustichelli & Mangione offers everything from raisin bread to focaccia. If its a refreshing cocktail you seek, then you'll want to head to either the Pilsner Urquell Beer Lounge, or the Decanto Wine Bar.
Not sure what the city has to offer? Stop by the Venezia Chamber of Commerce and Industry to learn everything you need to know about Venice, Italy. Here you will be presented with a top 10 list of the area's best attractions, a visitor's guide, and a calendar of events. Representatives are always available to answer any questions you may have and to point you to the most popular restaurants and shops.
After you get settled in your hotel room, you can begin exploring the area. Begin by taking a gondola ride in the Grand Canal, then stop by the Gallerie dell'Accademia to view art from before the 19th century. Stop for a hot cup of coffee at Caffè Florian before catching a live opera performance at the Teatro La Fenice. Finally, you'll want to check out the architecture and ancient manuscripts at the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana.

Subscribe To Scarlett Johansson Out As Oxfam Spokesman For Supporting Of Israeli Soda Company Updates
I've already subscribed
On a local, straight in front of your face level, being a good person is usually pretty black and white. Be polite. Open doors. Give others the benefit of the doubt. Reward your server for good service, etc. On a broader, charity-type level, however, trying to be a good person can often involve complicated, morally ambiguous situations in which you can't act without pissing someone else off. That's a hard lesson many well-intentioned politicians have learned over the years, and it's a hard lesson Scarlett Johansson learned this week when her longtime partnership with Oxfam was abruptly ended over a philosophical difference concerning the Middle East and a soda company.
The problems began when Johansson agreed to film a Super Bowl commercial for the Israeli company SodaStream. Oxfam International doesn't approve of the company since it operates in the so-called occupied territories, or areas filled with Palestinians that are still controlled by Israel. Some believe the right thing to do is keep factories in these areas in order to provide jobs. Others believe it's unfair and exploitive since a majority of the businesses are Israeli-owned but mined for local poor residents to operate. Regardless, the issue is very complicated, and Scar Jo and Oxfam's leaders are on opposite sides of the fence.
Here's a portion of what the actress' publicist had to say…
"She and Oxfam have a fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. She is very proud of her accomplishments and fundraising efforts during her tenure with Oxfam."
And here's the counter from Oxfam…
"While Oxfam respects the independence of our ambassadors, Ms. Johansson's role promoting the company SodaStream is incompatible with her role as an Oxfam Global Ambassador. Oxfam believes that businesses, such as SodaStream, that operate in settlements further the ongoing poverty and denial of rights of the Palestinian communities that we work to support. Oxfam is opposed to all trade from Israeli settlements, which are illegal under international law. Ms. Johansson has worked with Oxfam since 2005 and in 2007 became a Global Ambassador, helping to highlight the impact of natural disasters and raise funds to save lives and fight poverty."
Sometimes it's best for business relationships to end before there are any genuine hard feelings. At this point, no one thinks Johansson is a bad person because she has a different take on this subject, and no one thinks Oxfam is completely unreasonable because its leaders want the best for the Palestinian people. It's a classic viewpoint alteration, and quietly severing over that is better than making a big show about it publically. The name of the game from everyone's perspective is to improve the world.

Cosatu's racist rugby ignorance
11 August 2015
With the rugby world cup less than two months away and the Springbok's who came last in the recent rugby championship, it smacks of ignorance to allege that Heyneke Meyer and the Springbok management will not want to make use of the best possible players, whether black or white.
Cosatu's rugby ignorance is seen in their racist comments that weak white players are chosen above good black players for inclusion in the Springbok team. The knowledgeable rugby public, who want to win at any cost, would have reacted angrily a long time ago if a brilliant black player had been excluded from the team as a result of politics.
In addition, South Africa will run the risk of breaching international sport codes and being punished for it, if it was to appear that political interference and not merit had played a role in the selection of South African sport teams.
Black players, who have reached the highest sport in rugby by being selected for the Springbok team, have indicated that they do not want to be branded as quota players.
If Cosatu would like to make a contribution to the development of black rugby talent, they should go to the numerous, mostly black schools, where rugby isn't offered as an activity. Successful black players on a Springbok and provincial level mostly come from former model C schools which is currently the most integrated schools in the country. More successful black players have to be pushed ahead from the bottom up and cannot be forced politically from above to play in international teams.
To give credibility to their argument Cosatu should release the names of the so-called five black Springboks who had approached them (Cosatu) about the alleged discrimination. That would put the rugby public in a position to determine whether there is any merit in Cosatu's allegations.
From Cosatu's racist rugby media release it is clear that only an "all black" South African team against the All Blacks from New Zeeland would satisfy them. Such an approach is to the detriment of merit in sport and is internationally, as well as for the majority of South African sport lovers, totally unacceptable.
Statement issued by Dr. Pieter Mulder, FF Plus leader, August 11 2015

Starting this thread to talk about the actual vehicles that are available in 2019 that work well for folks in manual chairs that transfer into the vehicle and have the chair stowed for them, or they breakdown themselves to drive etc...
For the past 11 years had wife's 2006 honda crv has worked particular well for us... apart from the fact that Honda's don't go forever, only 147,000 miles and everything is going on the engine, even though it was serviced on schedule only at a Honda dealer for it's entire life. I was banking on squeezing a few more years out of it, and maybe 200,000 miles.. but not to be.
Things to consider about my specific chair
My manual Tilite TR
is rolling 27" wheels,
and with the wheels on is.
30" wide.
40" long.
36" high.
Things that worked well with the 2006 CRV for me.
The chair could be lifted into the back complete and sat on it's wheels and sit in the back and still sit 5 people in the car.
The front doors have a large enough opening to make transferring easy and allow me to break down the chair and wheels and get it all on the passenger seat with no issues.
The height of the driver/passenger seat was just right, when transferring from the ground it was easy enough as there were some well place grab handles.
Due to the height transferring from a 6" curbed sidewalk was also trivial, you're not so low in the car that getting up to your wheelchair seat was a major issue etc.
Grab handles, nice low one in the center of the front passenger area was excellent for pulling from the passenger side, plus the usual ones above your head by the door etc.
Emergency hand brake, was hand operated in the center, not one of those foot ones.
The gearshift was on the column, never realized how awesome this was till trying other new cars.
No center console or gear shift in the center on the floor, so transferring from the drivers seat to the passenger seat and vice versa is easy.
Rear door is hinged on the side, so easy for some one in a chair to open close and get access to etc.
Carries 5 people and a chair and is pretty compact.
All wheel drive.
The biggest negative, was it's a pretty loud ride.
So far looked at
Kia Sorento - Front door opening are pretty narrow - Chair will only fit in the back on it's side - it's a pretty big vehicle considering.
Nissan Rogue - chair wouldn't fit in the back
Nissan Mujrano - chair wouldn't fit in the back, but was a really easy car to transfer into and out of.
Nissan Pathfinder - chair only fits in on it's side. again seemed like a pretty big vehicle on the outside for no great gain on the inside.
Mitsubishi outlander - chair only fits in the back on it's side. Again was pretty tight on the inside considering how big it was on the outside.
Toyota Rav4 - Chair only fits in on it's side, but was so close.
Toyota highlander - Chair only fits in on it's side
Toyota pathfinder - Chair only fits in on it's side
Toyota Sienna (minivan) - acres of space! would have to bungy the chair down! has a 4 wheel drive option! no center console transferring between drivers seat and passenger seat possible, gear shift is classic style but up on the dash keeping the floor clear. Seats are lower than I'd like, plus the body work pushes you away from the car leaving a bit of canyon to transfer across. Good visibility.
Honda CRV - chair fits in the back again! Huge center console so no transferring between driver and passenger seat, no good grab handles, gear shift back on the floor ! Back to a regular lift up hatch rear door! From our statistical study, be lucky to get 150,000 miles out of it.
It's looking like we're going to end up with a minivan.
So far all it's done is compound how great the 2006 CRV worked for us.
Next to check out : Hyundai, Kai, Mercedes, Ford, Subaru, Volvo.
thoughts? missed any obvious ones ?
If you have top tips about buying a new vehicle as a manual wheelchair user who transfers, I started a different thread.
