Lights Shootout Reviews and News
Review: Lupine RotlichtBy Francis Cebedo January 05, 2016
The Rotlicht will keep you safe in the dark by adjusting its brightness to ambient light and motion, getting brighter when needed.Read More »
Review: Blackburn 2'FerBy Francis Cebedo November 30, 2015
The Blackburn 2′Fer weighs 29 grams and we measured 65 lumens out of it. It's rechargeable, yet only costs $25. And the kicker is it has white and red LEDs built in. Thus it can be used in the front and the back to see or be seen.Read More »
Review: Blaze LaserlightBy Francis Cebedo November 19, 2015
Primarily a commuter light, it's bright enough to get around on the trail or supplement a bar light. But you may get too distracted playing with the laser in the forest.Read More »
2016 Bike Lights Shootout: Commuter LightsBy RoadBikeReview September 07, 2015
This segment of the 2016 Bike Lights Shootout will focus on affordable, low-powered headlights and tail lights that primarily allow the cyclist to be seen. Check back often to see the latest lights reviews.Read More »
Review: Blackburn Central 100 Front lightBy Francis Cebedo May 20, 2015
Shaped like a matchbox, this $35 light packs a powerful punch to ensure the cyclist can be seen day or night.Read More »
Review: Lupine Rotlicht Tail LightBy Francis Cebedo December 26, 2014
The Lupine Rotlicht is a 160 Lumen light that has an accelerometer that allows it to function as a brake light. When you pull on the brakes and slow down significantly or come to a stop, the built in acceleration sensor turns the light brighter to gain more attention on the streets.Read More »
Review: Princeton Tec Swerve Tail LightBy Francis Cebedo November 17, 2014
This is a good light with good rear and side visibility. The toggle switch makes this very easy to use, but we wish it used rechargeable batteries.Read More »
Review: Blackburn Central 20 Rear Tail LightBy Francis Cebedo November 17, 2014
This light surprised us, as it's brighter than claimed and visible from a wide angle. Price is right too at $35 for a rechargeable system.Read More »
Review: CatEye Rapid X Tail LightBy Francis Cebedo November 17, 2014
The CatEye Rapid X is a minimalist tail light that even weight weenies can just leave mounted on their bike. Weighing in at 22 grams, this light array delivers good rear and side visibility with four flash modes.Read More »
Review: Serfas Thunderbolt Red Tail LightBy Francis Cebedo November 13, 2014
Brightness to weight ratio is awesome with this light. The new clear housings improve side visibility even more.Read More »
Review: Light & Motion Vis 180 Tail LightBy Francis Cebedo November 11, 2014
The Vis 180 has good mounting options and good visibility but the competition has caught up in this price point.Read More »
Review: Lumicycle InSight Brake Tail LightBy Francis Cebedo November 11, 2014
Lumicycle from the UK delivers a bright tail light with a brake light function. A nice, big form factor and ergonmic switch makes this ideal for commuters.Read More »
Review: Lezyne Zecto Auto Tail LightBy Francis Cebedo November 11, 2014
It's a good tail light and it turns itself on and off automatically. Small form factor and good light animation and visibility are its other highlights.Read More »
Review: Serfas ThunderboltBy Francis Cebedo November 03, 2014
The Serfas Thunderbolt is about the size and weight of one AA battery, but it is seriously bright for a 'to be seen' light.Read More »
Review: Serfas True 550By Francis Cebedo April 04, 2014
Instead of sticking with the light chassis from last year, Serfas stepped it up with a brand new, more robust chassis this year. The new one seems bigger with more cooling fins. It has air ports in front near the lens that serve to funnel air through the heat sink and cool the light down at speed.Read More »
Review: NiteRider Lumina 700By Francis Cebedo March 19, 2014
So now comes the the Lumina 700. It's just a little better than the 650, but it is dialed already and is NiteRider's best selling light of all time, selling about 30,000 units last year.Read More »
Review: Princeton Tec PushBy Francis Cebedo February 15, 2014
For $50, Princeton Tec offers a light here that claims 150 lLumens but actually measured higher at 212 Lumens. It also sports great side lighting with a nice red strip of light on each side.Read More »
Review: Serfas True 350By Francis Cebedo February 01, 2014
The top dog in this series is the the True 750 for $160 but the sibling, the True 350 can be had for $120. The other advantage besides fitting it in the budget is the run time increases to the coveted 2-hour mode in the highest setting.Read More »
Review: NiteRider Lumina 550By Francis Cebedo January 26, 2014
So now comes the the Lumina 700 and the Lumina 550. This expands the Lumina 650 options, as the 550 offers an impressive light at $110. Measured output is at 558 Lumens and run time on high is at 1:30.Read More »
Review: CatEye Volt 300By Francis Cebedo January 23, 2014
This year, the new light is the Volt 300 for only $60. And the good news is actual output is 349 Lumens in the sphere. So not only is it significantly cheaper but it's much brighter as well.Read More »
Review: Bontrager Ion 700By Francis Cebedo January 23, 2014
It is a tiny light that is manufactured to the highest standards. It is a bright light in a tiny package. It'll fit on your bars, your helmet or in your pocket. At the price of $100, it trumps all of the competition in the 700 Lumen category.Read More »
2014 Bike Lights Shootout: Lumen MeasurementsBy Valerie W. January 01, 2014
Mtbr and RoadBikeReview work so hard to demystify LED output. The ultimate test is using an integrating sphere to measure light output. This piece of equipment costs about $20,000- $100,000 to purchase and requires a trained technician to operate.Read More »
Review: Xeccon Geinea IBy Francis Cebedo January 01, 2014
The Xeccon Geinea is a 650 Lumen light with a tail light included in the system. A remote switch is included to control both front and tail lights.Read More »
Review: Fenix BTR20By Francis Cebedo January 01, 2014
The Fenix BTR20 is a nice light with a dual beam pattern coming out of one head. Using special lens optics, they are able to project a wide beam and a focused spot beam at the same time.Read More »
Review: Xeccon Spiker 1210By Francis Cebedo January 01, 2014
The Xeccon Spiker is a light with 4 LEDs and a big hard cased battery. The beam is big and bright and it is best used as a bar light to project a wide beam pattern. A spot helmet light would complement this light nicely.Read More »

Yes, I am Still Angry, but now I am just getting worn down by the continuous testing.

On Friday afternoon Mr Gapper's Year 10 science pupils were treated to a lecture at Cornwall College St Austell about the application of 'physics in sport'. The lecture was led by visitors from the University of Sheffield who gave a fun and educational session using Olympic sports such as long jump, cycling and running as examples. Audience participation ensured the lecture was interactive and relevant.
"I enjoyed the lecture and how they made science relate to sport. My favourite part was the bike and seeing someone trying to make their surface area as small as possible. We are about to start studying Physics soon for our combined sciences so it will be good to see what that will involve. It was good that they related it back to the Olympics as we could recognise some of the examples." - Quote from Chloe Year 10

The American Cinematheque has selected Samuel L. Jackson to receive its annual honor, to be presented at the org's gala Dec. 1 at the Beverly Hilton.
Board chairman Rick Nicita praised Jackson's "iconic blockbusters" and "unique brand of conviction" as among the best in the biz. "We are happy to honor him for what he has given us so far in his acclaimed career," he added.
Nicita singled out the recent "Star Wars" trilogy and Jackson's Oscar-nominated role in "Pulp Fiction" as career highs.
"The obvious talent and commitment that he brings to each role has resulted in what is arguably the highest total box office gross of any actor in movie history," Nicita said.
Jackson has been involved in five films in 2008, including last week's top opener, the Neil LaBute-helmed "Lakeview Terrace." "Soul Men" and Frank Miller action drama "The Spirit" are due later this year.
Cabler AMC will air the event on Dec. 9.
Last year's honoree was Julia Roberts.

On View at the Palazzo Querini Stampalia Museum, the Exhibition is Presented in Collaboration with Meislin Projects
Opening reception: May 11, 5-7 p.m., Fondazione Querini Stampalia
New York, NY (May 9, 2017) – The House of Life, a poetic and expansive installation by Hadassa Goldvicht, explores themes of historical memory; the threshold between life, death, myth, and art; and the rapidly changing nature of Venice, via a multi-channel video work installed at the Querini Stampalia in conjunction with the Venice Biennale. Presented by the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, in collaboration with Meislin Projects, the exhibition follows Aldo Izzo, the 86-year-old guardian and keeper of the Jewish cemeteries in Venice.
Curated by Amitai Mendelsohn, Senior Curator, Head of the David Orgler Department of Israeli Art at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, the exhibition is on view May 9 – November 26, 2017. Installed throughout the entire third floor of the Palazzo Querini Stampalia Museum, the exhibition invites visitors to navigate fragments of conversations between Izzo and Goldvicht that took place over the course of four years.
Izzo was once the captain of a large merchant vessel, and for the past 35 years has been tending the cemetery with the same care he once dedicated to his ship. As visitors progress through the exhibition, they encounter different realms of Izzo's life—from his daily work at the cemetery, to his life at home, and the illustrated diaries he keeps. As the exhibition progresses, Izzo's home and the cemeteries merge, becoming interchangeable and mirroring the way he seamlessly inhabits two worlds: blurring the border between life, death, and myth, a thematic thread that runs throughout much of Goldvicht's practice.
Goldvicht's work often takes as its subject intimate conversations with members of a community or institution, unraveling language and gesture to reveal socially and politically charged content. TheHouse of Life began as an exploration of Venice's Jewish community through personal conversations with its members, when Goldvicht was an artist-in-residence at Beit Venezia, a Cultural Jewish Foundation in Venice. These conversations evoked deep emotional responses that spoke to the city's struggle. Through Izzo, who introduced her to the city's Jewish cemeteries, Goldvicht began to see the plight of these specific sites as an allegory for the struggles of the city itself.
"Throughout my practice, I am interested in boundaries and thresholds—the place in which the line between personal and the public blurs," said Goldvicht. "The substance my works are made from is very real, mined both from my personal life and others. I am fascinated by the way each gesture or response to a personal question is a black box of social and political content, revealing layers of personal history. My work revolves around these deeply personal rituals and intimate conversations, which are a way in for exploring much larger issues. In my years of following Mr. Izzo, I felt as if he was teaching me things that I was almost reluctant to learn about—the liminal space between life and death, a place that most people cannot inhabit."
The exhibition's central narrative follows Izzo, who hid in the cemetery as a young boy during World War II. Like the Greek mythological figure Charon, Izzo leads viewers on a voyage through the cemetery and its turbulent history, erasing the border between life and death, guiding visitors to a place where the dead protect the living and the living protect the dead. After retiring from his post as a captain, Izzo was appointed as caretaker of the cemeteries, which have been repeatedly demolished and rebuilt over the centuries, and which he now helms with the same care, charting and logging the daily activities. Approaching the cemetery as an art historian, Izzo has supervised the restoration of its grounds, preserving the ancient tombstones and rituals that revolve around the elevation of the soul after death.
"The work offers viewers a poetic statement on the universal emotional experience buried in individual and collective memory," said curator Amitai Mendelsohn. "Hadassa's many hours of interviews with Aldo and the Jewish community members became the backbone of the narrative, the subconscious grid against which the story is told, and which becomes a point of departure for an exploration of much bigger themes about the way we construct and preserve identity both as individuals and as a community."
Through this work, the cemetery emerges as an analogy for Venice itself, a city that hides the true character of its struggle behind its beautiful façade. One of The House of Life's central images is of the ancient cemetery where Izzo has carefully retrieved and restored the broken headstones that have been separated from the gravesites they were intended to mark. Preserving the memories of those buried there, Izzo carefully hung the stones around the enclosed border of the cemetery, creating what appears to be an ancient installation, but which underscores the way in which the cemetery's purpose has been undermined by the time and past destruction, and which mirrors the current state of Venice. Through his meticulous, daily caretaking, Izzo has preserved the cemetery and the memory of those buried there, a careful library of past memories.
With the influx of tourism and the replacement of craftsmanship with cheap, readymade, imported goods, the city no longer provides a livelihood to its citizens and, as a result, its permanent population has been diminished by half in the past three decades. Today Venice is the only major city in the world that had a larger permanent population during the Middle Ages than it has today. Like the city, the ancient cemetery remains a beautiful and fascinating place, but even the cemetery is hollow, as many of the headstones no longer serve their intended purpose. Throughout the work, Izzo speaks of death—of the cemetery grounds he oversees, of his pet tortoises that he embalms, of the burial plots left for the remaining Jewish population in Venice—effortlessly transporting himself without fear between the worlds of the living and the dead.
Through the narrative of one small corner of Venice and one man's life's work, the exhibition becomes an abstract allegory through which viewers examine the fading historical memory of the city itself. Like Izzo's work with the cemetery, The House of Life—through its very nature as a work of art that will live on beyond the lives of its character—fights against death, creating a quiet space outside of time to meditate on the life of the individual and his lasting personal effect on place.
The work will include an original score by Alicia Jo Rabins and will be accompanied by a full-color catalogue with essays by Shaul Bassi, Associate Professor of English Literature at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, and Amitai Mendelsohn, Senior Curator, Head of the David Orgler Department of Israeli Art.
Goldvicht was first invited to Venice as an artist-in-residence by Beit Venezia. A Home for Jewish Culture, a foundation serving as a living center for Jewish thought, art, and culture in the Ghetto of Venice, which enables both local residents and international visitors to live, learn, and create in Jewish Venice, fostering the values of tolerance, diversity, and coexistence.
The House of Life has been generously supported by the Italian Friends of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.

About the Foundation Querini Stampalia
The Palazzo Querini Stampalia has been home to major exhibitions presented in coordination with the Biennale in past years, including by Mona Hatoum in 2009 and Kiki Smith in 2005. The Palazzo is a short walk from the Giardini, as well as other major historical sites, including St. Mark's Basilica, the Rialto Bridge, and the Church of Santa Maria Formosa.
The Fondazione Querini Stampalia was established in 1869 to support the arts in Venice. It was given to the city by Count Giovanni Querini, a scientist and man of letters, along with his art collection. The complex includes a library for public use, which is open until late at night, including public holidays; and a museum, which presents its permanent collection of 14th–20th-century painting including works by Palma Vecchio, Giovanni Bellini, and Pietro Longhi. Part of the ground floor and garden of the Palazzo were redesigned in the 1960s by the noted Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa; and Mario Botta, a pupil of the Venetian master, designed the auditorium and the site's new service area around an evocative covered courtyard on the ground floor and a prominent space for temporary exhibitions on the third floor. Now the Foundation is a mecca for students of art, design, and architecture.

Perhaps it was the terrifying rust coupled with warrior heritage, but somehow an American Hell Project managed to beat an obscure Warsaw Pact convertible in yesterday's Choose Your Eternity poll. Actually, it was a near-tie, but still a triumph for the red-white-and-blue over the, uh, blue-white-and-red. Today we're going to up the price of admission to the Gates Of Project Car Hell, though we've found a couple of high-buck cars available at (what ought to be) reasonable prices. Will you go with Late Malaise British super-luxury or Mangled Super Tokyo Hoonage? It's up to you: buy now, repent at agonizing leisure!
You want a genuine right-hand-drive, straight-from-Japan R33 Skyline GT-R, don't you? Of course you do! A 250-horse twin-turbocharged 2.6 six (which is eager to be boosted up to ridiculous power numbers using off-the-shelf components and well-known tuning tricks), all-wheel-drive, and JDM-only prestige that will leave jaws dropping in your wake. You could take your rapidly-eroding dollars and attempt to put together enough yen to get one shipped over from Japan... or you could buy this 1996 Skyline GT-R (go here if the ad disappears) right here in California! No, you're not allowed to buy it just for the RB25DETT engine (although we'd certainly approve of a Honey Bee B210 with such a powerplant)- you need to fix this car! We don't know how much the seller wants for it, but you can tell by his tone ("Don't waste my time. Serious buyers only!") that he or she means business. It's only got 10,000 kilometers on the clock, so the question is: was it hooned to death and wrecked in Japan, or was it hooned to death and wrecked over here? You'll have plenty of time to contemplate that question as you deal with layer after layer of state and federal bureaucrats, all of whom will disapprove strongly of the idea of you registering your Skyline for street use in North America, and all of whom will treat the car's sketchy lien-sale paperwork as being moderately radioactive. Oh yeah, the seller can't say whether it runs or not! Thanks to Jonee for the tip.
The last time we saw a Lagonda in this series, it stomped an Alfa Romeo Giulietta into a heap of rusty scrap metal in the poll. We thought maybe we'd save this '83 Lagonda to do battle with a Citroën, but then figured the horror of registering the Skyline, coupled with undeniable coolness, likely puts it on the same level as the Aston Martin. The best thing about this Lagonda is that it has the full-on electronic dash, which makes ordinary Lucas Electrics look downright bulletproof. And you know how much its price tag was in 1983? $150,000, which seems utter lunacy even before you convert it to the 2008 inflation-adjusted figure of $323,529. This car's auction has no reserve and is currently bid up to just $4,000; we may be looking at the ultimate in car-value depreciation here... which is bad news for the seller, but great news for you! Now, those of you who don't know Malaise Era British cars may be scoffing at the idea of this beautiful, fully-functional Aston Martin as a "project" car, but we guarantee it was a Hell Project the moment it left the assembly line (if not before then). You'll be lucky to get it up your driveway and soon-to-be sulfurous garage under its own power (four carburetors on a British DOHC smog V8- cue evil laughter). Thanks to UDMan for yet another great tip!

Advanced Portrait Retouching
Sharpen the Eye Details
Advanced Portrait Retouching
Sharpen the Eye Details
Lesson Info
Sharpen the Eye Details
Next is sharpening. We did not cover sharpening, so let's talk about sharpening for eyes. Again, it's the same conversation as before, only something different. So sharpening, when you want to add a little bit of detail into the eye area, into the iris, this is really common to do. How you do it is, well heckfire, do you remember that Linear Light thing we did for our Frequency Separation, and chances are you're gonna use Frequency Separation, all you have to do is do a command, I mean pardon me, make a square selection around the eye, command + C to copy, go back, higher up, you want to put this in a separate folder, command + v to paste. There is your gray layer, and do you remmeber when we were doing Frequency Separation and I'd made the copy of the gray layer, and it looked like she, like ahhh, she was all out of the sun, like crazy looking, because Linear Light, makes things crunchy and contrasty, which is terrible on the skin and absolutely beautiful on the iris. So for eye sharp...
ening, copy the Frequency Separation gray, and mask it in. I'm gonna show you a different way of doing that as well, in case you are not a Frequency Separation user, I won't hold it against you. Paint it in. Again, please watch out for the hammock, because what looks good on the screen is not gonna look good on print, most people overdo this. Chances are you're gonna want to have it at minimum, 50% opacity, if not 25%, if not 25%, okay. As a general rule in my work it seems to want to live around 25%, depends on what you're doing, what your file size is, okay. Let's say you're not pleased with the idea of Frequency Separation, and that's all right. As I said, I will not hold it against you. An alternate way of doing the exact same thing is to merge everything you see, merge everything you see. I want to call attention to the fact, there are no color corrections on this file, there are no color corrections on this file, I always leave my color corrections on the top, whenever possible, and I have them turned off when I'm doing retouching. That's because the client may change the color, the usage might change the color, so that's why you don't even see it in this file. I'm gonna merge everything up on to a layer, command + option + shift + E on a Macintosh, otherwise it's under here somewhere. Merge all visible on to a top layer. I'm going to go to that $500 filter I mentioned before, the High Pass filter. It's under Filter, Other, High Pass. I always, it's almost without fail, 1.5. You can write that number down ans take it to the bank, 1.5. Not 10, not 20, not something crazy, 1.5. I don't know why that is but that's, in my life, that's what works well. Linear light, bada bing, bada boonm. We don't want it on the whole file, so we're gonna option click on the mask, option click on Add a Layer Mask, and that's gonna give you a black mask, and then like I always said, you always have a black mask, and you always paint it in and the reason you do that, is your brush is where you are looking and you won't accidentally have this crazy ass sharpening all around the edge that you didn't see. Always have a black mask, cool? All right, so let's go to the next stage. We are sharpening, we are sharpening fools. Often you will have to sharpen an eyebrow, happens all the time. I don't know what it is about eyebrows, they need a little bit of sharpening, and rather than painting them, I often like to try to do the eyebrow sharpen. Ladies and Gentlemen, it's the exact same process. It is that Linear Light, you either do the High Pass we just did or you take it from your Frequency Separation, it doesn't matter, it's the exact same thing, and equally it's the same thing, you're gonna be hand fisted on it. So rather than 100%, maybe 50, maybe 25, cool? Awesome possum. The ubiquitous overlay detail on the eyes. So this one, what I've done on this one, 'cause I think she had enough shadow, I'm gonna put a gray there. All I did was a crescent in the iris outline, because she already had enough of the shadow. You can also do this separate because you're not sure if the client wants that shadow, and it's a little bit of a pain in the butt to erase it well, 'cause sometimes, most times, when I do this, my brush is got a big spray to it, and than if you're trying to mask it, you end up getting a cut line, and it doesn't look too pretty. Eyelashes painted, If you like 'em, if you don't, use that brush that we love. Those brushes, their worth the $3.00, I assure you, absolutely worth the $3.00, and put the back fill on it, and there you're done.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question and take us through your "delivery" process, I found that extremely helpful. I have purchased two of Lisa's classes immediately after the live stream during Photoshop Week 2017 and was very excited to stream another set of lectures from Seattle. I will be purchasing the last two courses of Lisa's within the next 24 hours as I did just over a month ago. I find her classes to be absolutely brimming over with useful information--everything from the technique, her process, what other professionals in her work are doing, and **why** she chooses the methods she does in retouching. She is relatable and genuine, and her knowledge of the program and how to maximize efficiency while "skipping the actions" really reinforces the educational part of her courses. There are "easy way outs", but she emphasizes that you should understand the ways in which any adjustment effect the entire photo. These courses have helped me to move forward in my education, helping me to realize that with enough practice and good habit formation--such as naming every single layer every time-- that it is not irrational for me to make an effort in building a portfolio and a Master's degree with little-to-no- previous experience with the software. I am very appreciate. I hope to see more from Lisa in the future, but I have plenty to practice with for now! Thanks again, Kristine Pye firstname.lastname@example.com
Jeff Robinson

She's an accomplished retoucher and gifted teacher. If you have the opportunity to take one of her classes, take advantage of it!

TVR Chimaera Body Lift
TVR are not known for protecting their chassis before painting/powder coating, there is much debate over which processes were applied and when, and which years are more or less likely to suffer from rusty outriggers. Fact is though that unless your Chimaera has been pampered beyond belief, the outriggers are rusting away below you.
Sam's car was a 70k Chimaera 400 (1994 'L') when it was dismantled in 2008. The chassis was, by TVR standards, remarkably sound but the tops of the outriggers had 6" holes along them and so, 'sound' or not by inspection from underneath they HAD to be replaced.
TVR Chimaera body lift procedure:
A quick Google will reveal a number of in-depth, bolt-by-bolt body lift procedures but the summary below gives an idea of what's involved. Corrections gratefully received!
Start on the interior
- Remove battery
- Remove seats
- Remove floor carpets
- Remove handbrake and gear lever gaitor
- Remove seat-belts
- Remove fuel tank
This list isn't exhaustive, and there are alternatives such as just pulling-back carpet to reveal chassis bolts as opposed to removal. By and large removal makes more room to work though.
Engine bay
- Drain coolant and remove radiator
- Remove exhaust manifolds
- Disconnect wiring / control cables / pipework etc
The above glosses over some tricky details, for instance manifold bolts can be a challenge and wiring of course needs to be approached with care. Space is tight behind the engine and so the injection loom can be 'fun'.
Sam's car was set to receive a new engine anyway, and so the drivetrain was removed completely. Even if not replacing, if the chassis is to be refurbished it has to come out anyway and so removal before the shell is worthwhile.
Unbolting the shell
Working from front to back the bolts can be found as follows. As this is being written from memory (some 2-3 years old) corrections welcomed!
- 2 x bolts horizontal into front of main chassis rails.
- 2 x bolts vertically into top of chassis accessible from below dash. VERY HARD TO FIND!!!
- 10 x nuts/bolts through footwells/floor panels.
- 2 x bolts horizontal through seatbelt clip anchors into main chassis rails.
- 2 x bolts horizontal through seatbelt reel tabs, can be seen in front of rear wheels within wheel arch.
- 2 x bolts horizonral in boot into main chassis rails (behind fuel tank).
- 2 x allen headed bolts in boot into main chassis rails (behind fuel tank).
Other items to remove/disconnect
- Fuel hose and fuel lines
- Brake lines
- Fuel pump wiring
- Earth straps
Double ... TRIPLE check before lifting that nothing is connected between shell and chassis
Lifting the shell
A 2-post car lift is ideal at this point, the lift can be performed slowly and safely keeping an eye out for forgotten loom connections, cables, pipes etc. Others have arrange scaffolding to lift shells, jacks and just man-power too.
With the shell up high you can finally see the state of your outriggers, and the chassis strip can begin...

Why Did The Japanese Attack Pearl Harbor
When Japanese bombers appeared in the skies over Pearl Harbor on the morning of December 7, 1941, the U.S. military was unprepared for this horrible and surprising attack. The attack strongly altered the course of World War II. However, there were several key reasons why this attack happened.
The Beginning
The tension between Japan and the States was raging for almost a decade. The tension was so strong that seemed inevitable. This tension began during the Great Depression. At the time, Japan started making its place on the world map.
For centuries Japan was isolated and the island nation of Japan was far away from the much of the world's history. However, that changed in the 20th century when Japan started aggressive expansion. This ambition was supported by two successful wars: Russo-Japanese War in 1904-05, the war against China, and the successful participation in World War I.
Japan wanted to solve its problems during the Great Depression of the 1930s by forcing its way into China. Furthermore, they started with an invasion of Manchuria. This sudden action was condemned by the League of Nations and Japan withdrew from the international organization. This move will occupy Manchuria until 1945.
However, in July 1937, a clash at Beijing's Marco Polo Bridge began another Sino-Japanese war. That same year in December, Japanese forces captured Nanjing (Nanking) the capital of the Chinese Nationalist Party, or Guomindang (Kuomintang), where they proceeded to carry out six weeks of mass rapes and killing, known as the Nanjing Massacre.
The States Wanted To Stop Japan's Global Expansion
Japan was on a mission to conquer the world and the U.S decided to stop Japan by passing economic sanctions, including trade embargoes on oil, scrap metal, and even aircraft exports, and give economic support to Guomindang forces. For the following months, Tokyo and Washington negotiated but without success. The States hoped that the embargo will push Japans to halt its expansionism, but all the penalties and sanctions convinced Japan to hold its ground. Moreover, this embargo only stirred up the anger of its people against continued Western interference in Asian affairs.
From that moment on to Japan, the war with the States seemed inevitable. After all, Japan wanted to hold its status as a major power. So, the odds were stacked against them, and their only chance was the element of surprise.
Japan Wanted To Control The Pacific
Americans didn't expect any kind of attack, especially Japanese so they walked and moved normally in Hawaii, around 4,000 miles away from the Japanese mainland. The base at Pearl Harbor was relatively undefended, making it an easy target.
At the same time, Yamamoto Isoroku, an admiral, spent months planning the attack. His master plan was to destroy the Pacific Fleet and morale of the U.S. Navy. The logic behind this was: if you destroy the morale of the soldiers, they won't have the strength to move across targets across the South Pacific.
However, this sudden attack pushed the States out of the isolation and directly into World War II, a conflict that would end with Japan's surrender after the devastating nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
The Pearl Harbor Attack
At first glance, the Pearl Harbor attack looked like a success for Japan. Their bombers hit all eight U.S. battleships, damaging four others, and sinking additional four. Furthermore, Japan damaged more than 300 aircraft and killed some 2,400 sailors at Pearl Harbor.
Japanese forces went on to capture a line of current and former Western colonial possessions including Burma (now Myanmar), the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), and the British Malaya (Malaysia and Singapore) and the Philippines. However, Pearl Harbor failed in its objective to destroy the Pacific Fleet.
Overall, the Japanese bombers missed oil tanks, repair facilities and U.S. carrier were not in place. In June 1942, this failure came to haunt the Japanese, as U.S. forces scored a major victory in the Battle of Midway, turning the tide of war in the Pacific.

I love the flavor of lemon with baked goods. Lemon pound cake, lemon bars, lemon cupcakes, the list goes on. I used the flavor of lemon to add to these Shortbread cookies and I love the way it turned out.
- 1 cup butter
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups powder sugar
- 3 TBSP milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 jar lemon curd (10 oz)
- one decorator bag
To make Shortbread, whip butter in electric mixer add sugar and flour. Mix until blended, it will be a bit crumbly.
Roll out dough and cut out into circles (I used 2″). Place on baking sheet and cook at 325 for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of cookies. Let completely cool.
Next up, let's make the frosting. Whip cream cheese in electric mixer, add vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk. You do not want the frosting to be very thick, you want it almost a bit runny. Add frosting on one side of decorator bag and approximately 1/4 cup of chilled lemon curd on the other side. Then add a swirl of frosting to each shortbread. I use a star tip or you can simply cut the tip of the decorator bag for a smooth swirl. Enjoy!

FRIENDS and colleagues have paid tribute to former Birmingham Post and Mail photographer John Reavenall – described as "one of the best".
The award-winning photographer, who was 63, was known affectionately as Reavers.
During a career spanning 45 years, John, from Bournville, photographed thousands of Brummies and covered news events from Royal visits to celebrity interviews.
In 1971 he received the Dixon's Midlands Photographer of the year award from Princess Alexandra at the Birmingham Press Club.
Former colleague Alan Williams, who worked with John for 20 years, said: "He was a wonderful gentleman and photographer, particularly at cricket and rugby, but an all-round great diary photographer.
"John was always willing to give advice to young photographers and welcome people into the department.
"He went through so many transitions in photojournalism, from mixing chemicals to taking pictures in black and white with a traditional camera and then on to digital, and he took it all in his stride. He went through the 'golden age' of newspaper photography.
"John was such a laugh to work with and so knowledgeable, particularly in engineering. He loved trains and tinkering with cars."
He was born on May 5, 1946 and lived with his parents in Witton.
John's father owned a butcher's shop near Villa Park and he was educated at King Edward VI Grammar School in Aston.
He joined the Birmingham Post in 1964. The family later moved to Bournville and John remained in the family home after his parents passed away.
He chose to take early retirement in November 2008.
Post and Mail picture editor Steve Murphy paid tribute to a "legend".
He said: "He was a friend to all, not just a colleague. He was the nicest chap, extremely well liked across all departments, everyone had a lot of time and respect for him .
"He was a real gentleman and a great character. Lots of people in Birmingham knew him. He took pictures of generations of people, from when they were a baby to adulthood."
Deputy picture editor Marcus Queenborough, who worked with John for 26 years, added: "John was greatly loved and respected by many across the country. I have been inundated with people offering their sympathies since the sad news broke."

Can the cops break down my door to enter my home?
UPDATED: February 20, 2013
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right legal decisions.
We strive to help you make confident law decisions. Finding trusted and reliable legal advice should be easy. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
As a general rule, cops can never break down your door to enter your home in a forced entry. Before entering your home, officers must knock, announce their presence, and wait for you to come to the door like you would for any other visitor. This requirement is called the "knock-and-announce" rule. This purpose of this rule is to allow people an opportunity to respond so that violence can be averted and privacy protected. Keep in mind, however, that this is only a general rule. Once the cops knock and announce their presence, they only have to wait a reasonable amount of time for you to come to the door. If you do not come to the door, they are permitted to make a forced entry.
The issue that usually arises is what is a reasonable time for officers to wait before a forced entry? The Supreme Court has upheld forced entries after the cops only waited 15-20 seconds. Courts don't generally require the police to wait for extended periods because of concerns that defendants will try to dispose of evidence before the police enter. If the police do not knock and announce as required, most courts will not automatically find that the police entry and search were illegal. Instead, they will just consider it a "factor" in determining whether the forced entry in your home and subsequent search were reasonable.
First Exception to the Knock and Announce Rule: Exigency
Even though officers should knock and announce their presence before they break down a door or carry out another forced entry, exceptions apply. The first type is based on exigent circumstances. Exigent circumstances describe an emergency situation. For example, if officers have a warrant to search for drugs in your house, they knock and then immediately hear flushing (activity consistent with the disposal of drugs); they can break down your door and enter your house without announcing their presence or waiting for you to answer. Another common exigent or emergency situation is when the police have been called to your house because of a domestic dispute. If they hear threats or screams coming from inside your home which would lead the officers to believe that someone was in danger, then officers are permitted to break down your door and enter your home to protect a victim or carry out another type of forced entry.
Second Exception: Permission
The second type of exception to the knock-and-announce rule is written permission granted by a judge. The courts have excused the knock-and-announce rule in drug raids where the officers know the suspect may have large dogs, a security system or have a history of violence. The officer must explain to the judge why it would be dangerous for officers to announce their presence. If the court thinks their fear is justified, he will grant them advance permission for a forced entry, allowing them to break down your door and enter your home to conduct a search or an arrest.
Whether the entry into your home is forced or peaceful, stay calm and asked for a copy any warrants. As soon as possible, contact an attorney so s/he can review the warrant and basis for the warrant to ensure that your rights were protected.

Every device that has done well for itself deserves a second – and subsequent goes at the mass market, and the hugely successful Nexus 7 tablet is no different. It seems that there are whispers of Google working with Asustek yet again to churn out the successor to the Nexus 7.
So far, what do we know about the second generation Nexus 7? It goes without saying that better and superior hardware specifications will be thrown into the mix, but will be be enough to make current Nexus 7 owners bite the bait and take the plunge for an upgrade? That remains to be seen, although we do know that the newer Nexus 7 will carry a Full HD display to keep up with the rest of the Joneses, and perhaps it is a cheeky pre-emptive strike against a possible iPad mini refresh.
It is also said that the Nexus 7's successor will maintain the rather sensitive $149 to $249 price range so as not to scare the current market away, taking a page out of Apple's book along the way when it comes to pricing sensitivities.

Growing into risk? Emerging environment and security issues in China
Serious environmental degradation in China is harming public health, increasing migration and triggering social unrest. In addition, the country's need to secure the supply of those resources which underpin its growth will increase international competition for them while potentially undermining the security of some of the politically fragile, resource-rich nations with which China trades. This paper discusses the security implications of China's growing environmental problems.

Clouds by Bay of Arguin, Mauritania20.1N 16.5W
Clouds hug the coast of Mauritania near the Bay of Arguin. Green algae can be observed in the northern part of the bay that is not cloud-covered.
Upon opening the full image, the Richat Structure can be observed in the Sahara Desert to the east of the bay. It has a bullseye-like appearance. Although it looks similar to a crater from a meteorite impact, it is actually thought to be a symmetrical uplift (circular anticline or dome) that has been laid bare by erosion.

|// ScopedMockLog provides a way for unittests to validate log messages. You can
|// set expectations that certain log messages will be emited by your functions.
|// To use ScopedMockLog, simply create a ScopedMockLog in your test and set
|// expectations on its Log() method. When the ScopedMockLog object goes out of
|// scope, the log messages sent to it will be verified against expectations.
|// Note: Use only one ScopedMockLog in a test because more than one won't work!
|// Sample usage:
|// You can verify that a function "DoSomething" emits a specific log text:
|// TEST_F(YourTest, DoesSomething) {
|// ScopedMockLog log;
|// EXPECT_CALL(log, Log(_, _, "Some log message text"));
|// DoSomething(); // Causes "Some log message text" to be logged.
|// }
|// If the function DoSomething() executes something like:
|// LOG(INFO) << "Some log message text";
|// then this will match the expectation.
|// The first two parameters to ScopedMockLog::Log are the log severity and
|// filename. You can use them like this:
|// TEST_F(MockLogTest, MockLogSeverityAndFileAndMessage) {
|// ScopedMockLog log;
|// EXPECT_CALL(log, Log(logging::LOG_INFO, "your_file.cc", "your message"));

|// ScopedMockLog log;
|// EXPECT_CALL(log, Log(::testing::Lt(::logging::LOG_ERROR),

US military Begins Purchasing and Testing Smart RiflesPosted: January 19, 2014 Filed under: Guns and Gadgets, Science & Technology, U.S. News | Tags: British Army, LAS VEGAS, Linux, Rifle, TrackingPoint, Twitter, United States Armed Forces 2 Comments
Reports coming out of the Las Vegas SHOT gun show this week indicate the U.S. military has purchased and is testing smart rifles for use in the field.
According to a Military.com interview with TrackingPoint, Inc., the Army bought six different smart rifles from the company for a price of $10,000 to $27,000, each of which includes a built-in Linux-based computer that uses sensors and scopes to maximize accuracy amidst a variety of conditions like terrain, weather and even the Earth's rotation.
"The military has purchased several units for testing and evaluation purposes," TrackingPoint marketing official Oren Schauble told Military.com Tuesday at the country's largest annual gun show, where the startup company announced the technology in 2013.
According to Schauble, one of the rifles demonstrated at the show boasts a 70 percent first-shot success rate at 1,000 yards out — significantly better than the average for professional military snipers, with a high of 30 percent. The military plans to compare the success rate of average soldiers with smart rifles against that of traditional sharpshooters…

When you're a mom, you tend to put yourself on the back burner. I get it. There seems like there isn't enough time in the day - between taking care of the kiddos, working, and keeping the house clean. It's exhausting!
BUT it is so important to remain healthy and active. Not only will it make you feel better, but your little ones are watching you. You are their role model. Show them that leading a healthy lifestyle is important - and fun!
I created my No Equipment, No Excuses guide with moms in mind. The workouts can be done anywhere, anytime because they require absolutely no equipment. They only take 20 minutes! You can do the workouts while your little one naps, or they can watch/join you. I know my little one loves to watch me exercise!
