The University of Sheffield has announced the appointment of Professor David Petley as its new Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation.
Professor Petley will lead the University's commitment to internationally excellent research and innovation across the Faculties of Science, Engineering, Medicine, Social Sciences and the Arts and Humanities.
His work will include promoting and supporting the University's prestigious research institutes and centres, including the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and the Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures, as well as the development of international research partnerships with other academic institutions and organisations.
He will also be a member of the University's Executive Board.
University of Sheffield Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir Keith Burnett said: "I am delighted that Professor Petley will be joining us in the crucially important role of Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation. Sheffield has an excellent reputation for research and innovation which impacts on the lives of people in communities around the world."
He added: "Professor Petley's own research in the area of landslides, in often poor, high-mountain areas around the world, is a clear example of this – and that insight mixes with an excellent track record of senior leadership within UK universities.
"He will be joining a community of scholars, from postgraduate researchers through to established world-leading researchers, whose subjects range from the treatment of diseases, pioneering plants which can endure the most difficult conditions, advanced engineering, as well as the history and politics which so powerfully shape our world. It is a tremendously important role and one with a huge potential to do good."
Professor Petley began his university life a geographer and then studied for a PhD in Earth Sciences at University College London. He then became a lecturer in Environmental Sciences and Engineering Geology, joining the University of Durham in 2000 where he became the Wilson Professor of Hazard and Risk.
While at Durham he also served as Deputy Head of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Health, then Dean of Research and Dean of Global Engagement. In 2014 he joined the University of East Anglia as Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Enterprise.
Professor Petley's personal research focuses on landslides, especially in high mountain areas. His current field areas of study are Nepal, Chile and New Zealand.
Professor Petley said: "I am delighted to be joining the University of Sheffield. It is an institution with an extraordinary track record in research and innovation, and a reputation that is second to none for its education and student experience. I am greatly looking forward to playing a key role in the development of the University over the next few years, and to working with colleagues across the institution.
"In addition, I am keenly aware that the University has a powerful reputation for the translation of its research and partnership with large global and smaller local companies, which is central to the strategy of the City Region, its economy and the aspirations of local people. This is clearly key to the emerging priorities of the UK government and I am confident that the University will continue to be a leader in this area."
Professor Petley will take up the role of Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation at the University of Sheffield from 1 November 2016.

Lea over at the blog Running for Dummies wrote an important and interesting blogpost the other day – I'm Afraid To Post This Blog.. In this world of social media it's easy to believe that everyone out there is just as perfect as it might sound/look when reading tweets and blogposts, and it's easy to feel like there's no way you could ever be as successful/fit/whatever as the others out there. It's very easy to start comparing your abs/legs/smile etc with what you see.. And this is of course normal, a part of being a human being.
But the reality is actually different – we are all "just people", dealing with our own strengths and weaknesses, fears and joys. What we choose to share with others is the truth, but maybe it's not the whole truth? Of course, there's always going to be some things we wouldn't share with our readers/followers, something private for you only or something you're just not comfortable with sharing for whatever reason. And that's the way it should be – what would the world be if all the secrets (good or bad) would be revealed? Still, it's important to remember that it doesn't hurt sharing a little bit more of who you are – with those wonderful features AND the flaws.
"We are all human. Who are we trying to kid with all this perfection bullshit?" as Lea wrote regarding this I'm Afraid to Post This Blog Challenge.
So, as I too am afraid to show another side of myself, I AM afraid to post this. But, I am not at all perfect, so here goes:
What you see/read of me is usually all smiles and photos of my "bright and sunny" everyday life (which normally is 80% running and the rest slacking) and talk about my love for running and other things concerning running. But there's more to my life than that. There's especially one thing in my life that I want to share with you, one thing that's been "stealing" a HUGE part of my life and something that still scares me, if not every day so at least a couple of times a week.
I have spent years fighting depression and anxiety since my mid teens. It all started with a pretty unhappy Middle School environment. I was one of those pretty girls who wasn't bullied, I had friends, I got good grades and enjoyed playing/coaching basketball but there was something missing. Later I've come to realize that this had to do with neither my school friends or myself letting me be seen, take some space. This made me loose my smile, I spent many nights awake, wondering what the —- was wrong with me?! As I graduated Middle School I was ready to run away. I spent the first year of High School looking for "a way out". At this point I had already started thinking of ending my life, but I decided to give it one more go. I moved to finish High School in another town approximately 600 miles away from my home town.
I'm not going to get into details when it comes to this looong story of darkness in my life, but I can tell you that the move didn't "save" me as I was hoping it would. Quite the opposite actually. I was lonely in a big city, totally insecure in myself and who I was and couldn't seem to find a way out of my misery. I was depressed. Big time. As the years went by I fell deeper and deeper into the darkness, dealt with serious anxiety attacks and spent countless of hours in my apartment, hiding under a blanket desperately trying to figure out how to get saved from all this pain. All these emotions I couldn't put into words. I tried every possible way I could find to numb myself, to get the darkness and the heavy anxiety to go away. Give me a chance to just.. Breathe. And live. I saw other people out there doing their thing, LIVING their life, and I felt envious. I wanted it so bad, but at the same time.. I had no energy what so ever. No answers to all my questions.
After YEARS and going to several doctors, tried a bunch of different anti depressant pills, talking to therapists (nothing helped, none of the doctors/therapists SAW me) I was so close to just give up. Give in to the suicidal thoughts and let go. "Maybe life just isn't for me?".
But then, luckily, things changed. I met a therapist who actually saw me. I was in terrible shape when we first met, and even though the story of my life and misery was the same, this time I actually felt safe. I knew this guy could help me. So we started seeing each other two times/week, and to be honest, sometimes I mostly just sat and stared at nothing. But during the years I got to talk to this therapist everything changed I very slowly started to see the light, I realized I had just as many reasons to live as people around me and I found strengths in myself I never knew I had. Honestly, without being strong I could never have made it this far.
It's been a constant struggle and it might sound weird to you… But this journey I've been through have taught me SO MUCH about myself and made me so strong, I'm actually "glad" it happened. Sometimes I think to myself that all those years of total darkness was a waste, but then I remind myself of where I am today and how far I've come. I'm PROUD of the journey I've made – because today I am actually smiling and most importantly LIVING. I am alive and I have a future.
I still struggle with my emotions, I'm far from done with the journey. But that's ok, because this is life! There's always going to be more to learn about ourselves and the world we live in (and how it affects us). The question is if we are brave enough to face all these things? I truly believe that we ALL sometimes need to stop what we're doing, take a step back and spend a moment or two to ourselves and just look inside and around us.
Every now and then I think about this therapist that "saved my life". I last met him in August 2011, and I cried as I said goodbye. The way he right away saw straight through the "pretty little girl" and picked up on my heavy depression and anxiety, the way he saw me and fought with me without giving up on me even when I had my darkest moments.. I will be grateful for that man for the rest of my life, because I couldn't have made it alone.
I've also had my family and friends by my side. I left them feeling very helpless as I wasn't ready to take their help at all times. But if I could put into words how much they meant to (and of course still mean to me) I would. My parents with their constant love and the way they would run through fire to save me.. I am truly grateful for them! My brothers were very young when I was dealing with parts of this and even though we never really talk about it they are the main reason I decided to fight back and find my way back to life. They are the sunshine of my life, everyday, for as long as I will live.
Since I started running in May 2012 I've learned more about myself, a few of those remaining pieces in my puzzle have been falling into places. I've found even more (mental AND physical) strength and maybe most important, I've learned to be ALONE (not lonely) and ENJOY every second of it. I've found a way to channelize fear, stress, anxiety etc without before it's been starting to really get to me. This is one of the reasons you constantly read about running here.
So this is it. Now you know me a little bit better.
This was a scary post to write. Ive been afraid to hit the "publish" button because I don't want you to look down on me. Pity me. I just want to share what's been such a big part of my life and the biggest fight of my 30 year old life. One of the main reasons I am who I am today.
And also, if there's anyone out there dealing with a similar fight I want you to know that you're not alone. And that there's hope. Stay strong, be nice to yourself and don't be afraid of asking for help. It's a rough world out there but there are ways to win confidence and joy back, to FEEL the hope and move on.

So here is may take on it and I must admit I like the way it turned out..
Hope you guys agree too.
First I took an old lamp from a junk shop, cleaned and painted it with gesso.
I wanted to create an old looking tree effect using heavy duty texture paste.
I then painted it black with acrylic paint for a base coat and when dried used Buff it Copper and gold gilding wax to high light the bark effect ..
For the lamp shade I cut out some silhouettes of characters from A Nightmare Before Christmas and used my Xyron machine to then stick then to the inside of the lampshade.
Happy Crafting, will share again soon ...

Pre-Code Hollywood: Sex, Immorality, and Insurrection in American Cinema, 1930–1934 by Thomas Doherty
This book has an interesting, counter-intuitive premise. For some context, the traditional argument is that the US film industry's "Hays Code" stifled creativity and constrained artists from 1934 to 1968. Under the code happy endings were mandated. Evil had to be punished. Homosexuality could not appear on screen. Absolutely no nudity was shown. As the book states, cracks began to show in 1950, and those got larger until the code's demise in 1968. Generally, this Catholic moralist oversight is viewed as even worse than today's interference by studio executives. Professor Thomas Doherty has studied 1930s films extensively, so when he characterizes the 1930-1934 period, when the code existed, but had no teeth, as descending into immorality and accepting of nudity, he sees a lack of subtlety and a failure by the producers of American cinema to provide appropriate content to their audience.
Note that I used the singular, audience. Therein lies my initial disagreement with Doherty. While he acknowledges the heterogenous nature of moviegoers, he considers the medium to be akin to radio. When we change the station it all has to abide by the FCC and all be appropriate (until 11 PM) for listeners of all ages. And within those constraints we have talk radio, country music, pop music, classic rock, etc… Just as American cinema had, and has, many genres. Yet Doherty views the whole Golden Age of Hollywood (1934-1950) as a product of the Code. Moreover that, much like our age, American society and its government faced new challenges that questioned the very validity or our culture. The Great Depression exposed Rugged Individualism as a sham and the films of that era reflecting the growing dissatisfaction with it.
The traditional American historical narrative teaches us that FDR and the New Deal started the recovery that World War II completed. Perhaps on a moral and emotional level Doherty's theory has some value. He argues that having Catholics come in protect the morality and content of Hollywood held our union together, or at least played a positive role in doing so. I do not know if Thomas Doherty was raised Catholic, but I was not. So when I read about Catholics coming in and intimidating Jewish businessmen, my knee jerk is not to assume the bullying Catholics are morally superior. Particularly in the United States where liberty is held so high. Especially in a time period where Jewish writers and artists were relegated to comic books. Thus the censorship of a few Catholics, whose morals required the exclusion of homosexuals, without even bothering to explicitly state that, offends me.1 The magnificent Fantasia would have been the same, with or without the Code. Citizen Kane got Orson Welles blacklisted in Hollywood, while RKO soon went out of business. I cannot imagine that the Code had any positive impact on that great film. The Long Goodbye was better than its original, The Big Sleep, showing at least in one instance how the post-code 1970s can create art without those constraints. To be fair, having no rules and no restrictions can lead to self-indulgence. It would be disingenuous to have my experience with films and literature created under Communism and to disregard the role that rules played in much of those films. Pushing the envelope and being creative in ways to get the same message across without tipping off the censors, has created some great art and let artists show off a skill that no rules would not have allowed them to show.
Where Doherty's argument really bothers me is the synthesis between American-Catholic moral superiority and the fear of children receiving adult entertainment or learning alternative values. The MPAA is incredibly flawed. Honestly, TV channels do a better job of self-labeling than the MPAA does with their rating system. This is the system that prohibits male genitalia as much as it fears female enjoyment of sex. The system that permits cartoonish violence over the more realistic. Pixar movies do a good job of creating films that work on multiple levels, that provide moral guidance as well as enjoyment. No set of rules can make every movie as good as their movies. And no set of moral guidelines can get it right all by itself. If it had been 1930s Jews bullying Catholics with their morals I would have as much of a problem with the end result as I did with the Hays Code. When a coach hinders their players, yet those players succeed in spite of them, you do not laud the coach. Sports history is replete with people who fought against progress, yet had the talent to overcome unhelpful coaching. Some people needs rules, if only to rebel against them, and others manage to succeed regardless. Doherty tries to credit the bad coach with the team's success.
Doherty also offers that this era impacted the American cinematic history very little. The basis for this is two-fold. First, film historians go back and look for earlier and earlier works to highlight as seminal to the filmmakers who followed them. The Code rendered these earlier films almost irrelevant. It was as if film was reborn. He may have been right, in the short run, but I doubt it. Take 1931 as an example year. How many of these have you heard of: Frankenstein, M, Dracula, City Lights, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Public Enemy and Little Caesar? The impact of those films are still felt today. What I have taken from this is that Doherty is a very talented writer who wants film to play a role in saving society. While I am not convinced he certainly made me consider his counterintuitive theses.
1 Note, that if it had been a few ultra Orthodox Jews whose morals prevailed in 1930, the moralizing would not have been okay, particularly not towards homosexuals. It would have been even less accepting of pre-marital sex. But there is no Jewish crusade or Jewish Inquisition, only Crusaders who killed Jews and Spanish Catholics who tortured and killed Jews. That context matters. ↩

Hungry (The Kick Boxer, Part I)Posted: October 27, 2013 Filed under: adultery blog, erotica blog, non-monogamy, sex blog, The Kick Boxer | Tags: adultery blog, erotica blog, open marriage blog, sex blog, sexual awakening blog 3 Comments
He was hot. Indian, with a handsome face and a rock hard body.
His condo was gorgeous. Fountains in the lobby, wood and marble everywhere, and a lot of amenities. Oh, how we enjoyed the amenities.
When I arrived, he had trouble buzzing me up, so he came down and got me. We took the elevator to his unit, which was filled with leather, dark wood, boxing gloves, and kick boxing belts.
He offered me a beer, and I accepted, even though I don't drink beer. It was actually pretty good–I made note of the brand so I could get it again in the future.
We sat on the comfortable leather couch and talked, while Ghostbusters played on TV in the background. We chatted about travel, movies, books, work, real estate, and politics. We laughed and touched. At one point he asked me if I wanted to play a board game, which I thought was adorable. I declined, citing the fact that I can pretty much only play Scrabble, Taboo, and Uno. Apparently this was a real date, and not just a hook-up. It was different. It was nice.
When Ghostbusters was over, we went to separate bathrooms and changed for the pool. I exchanged my blue pencil skirt, red blouse and thigh-highs for a string bikini in electric blue, with ruffles. When I came out, he treated me to a spectacular view of his muscular body, featuring a very sexy side tattoo.
"You look great," he told me, pulling me close. "You do not disappoint." I smiled, and he kissed me. He was a good kisser–soft, but urgent. We stayed locked together like that for a minute or two, before we decided to head to the pool. I had neglected to bring sandals (perhaps on purpose!), so I put on my red heels and off we went.
"God, now you're even sexier–heels and a bikini!"
I smiled. "Guess you don't see that every day."
The Kick Boxer jumped in the pool and told me it wasn't too cold. I'm a wimp, so I opted to slowly walk in, one step at a time, cringing at the temperature. After about a minute of this, he grabbed me, carried me to the middle of the pool, and plunged us both to the bottom.
I gasped and kicked my way back to the top. "God, you're terrible!" I shrieked, laughing. "It's freezing!"
He laughed and wrapped his arms around me. "Now I get to warm you up."
"Ahh, so that was your plan."
I stuck my tongue out at him. He carried me to the side of the pool and kissed me. With my legs wrapped around his waist, we tongued and gasped and groped, weightless. He pushed my bikini bottoms to the side as he devoured my mouth, rubbing me. Sliding my hands down his shorts, I gripped his cock and began to jack him off. He lifted me, so I was half-in the pool with my upper body laying on the deck, and slid his fingers inside my pussy. I screamed as an orgasm overtook my body. As I lay shaking on the cold tile, gasping, my eyes stinging from the chlorine, he said "That was hot."
I laughed. Yes, it was.
He lifted me effortlessly over to the hot tub, set me down, and turned on the jets. As soon as he sat beside me, we gravitated towards each other like magnets–pawing and sucking, moaning and grinding. The Kick Boxer pulled down the top of my bikini, and took a nipple into his mouth, squeezing the other one. I ran my hands over his god-like body, toying with his dick and biting his neck. After I came, screaming and writhing, he asked if I wanted to hit the steam room.
Once inside, it was more of the same. We grabbed each other urgently, hands and fingers and lips and tongues everywhere. He pressed me down against the bench, pulled down my bottoms, and used his mouth on my already sensitive pussy. He licked and sucked me until I climaxed again, while the room slowly filled with steam so thick it was like mating in a cloud. I pulled him down onto me and we grinded at a fevered pace, dizzy on lust and heat, blind from both of the same.
Eventually we decided to take things upstairs. We showered in his apartment, letting the hot water wash over us. I sank to the floor, taking his cock in my mouth and rubbing my tongue up and down his shaft. He pushed into me, making me gag, but he was so delicious that I kept at it. He pulled me up and dried me off, and then we made our way to his bed.
The sex is a blur. The Kick Boxer impaled me, twisting me into different positions and hitting every spot that could set me off. I screamed and moaned and whimpered; he growled and talked dirty. He pulled out when he was about to come, saying "You almost got me there, but I'm not done with you yet." Then he fingered me from behind while I rubbed my clit.
When we resumed fucking, it was even harder and more frantic than before. He choked me a couple times, which intensified my pleasure by about 1000%, and I wrapped my legs around his hard, sweaty body, digging my nails into his back and biting his ear.
Then we braked for pizza–true story.
We ate in the living room, lazily touching each other, but as soon as we were done we were once again entangled. He made me come silently, because his neighbours share a wall with the living room.
"I'll let you get off if you're quiet," he promised. I bit my lip and put my hand over my mouth as I shuddered and came. Not being able to scream or moan in release, somehow made it even more acute. As I came down, he told me I was a good girl, then carried me to his room and tossed me onto the bed.
More fucking. My pussy was raw and aching, but still dripping. We pounded the hell out of each other, him telling me I am a dirty slut–words that have the power to send me over the edge all on their own.
"I'm gonna come on you," he growled, the pulled out as hot cum gushed all over my abs and tits and neck. We fell against each other, finally satisfied–for the moment.
"This may be too soon," he said, "but we should do this again."
Oh, yes please.
I get wet just thinking about it. . .and yet, something he said to me keeps echoing in my head:
"I've never met a girl as hungry as you."

In February, many of the stocks took a hit and went down amidst fear of interest rate hikes and uncertainties over US's inflation. However, given the backdrop of global economic growth, UOBKH opines that these "recovery plays and reflation picks" will still do well.
Overseas-Chinese Banking Corporation
Overseas-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) has been added to UOBKH's alpha picks for March 2018, due to the eventual divestment of its 30 percent shareholding in Great Eastern Life Malaysia either through an upcoming IPO or a trade sale. The plan is likely to happen in 2H18 and analysts are expecting the funds from divestment of shareholdings to be a catalyst to "further propel growth".
DBS Group Holdings
DBS Group Holdings (DBS) has been performing well, exceeding analysts' expectations "on net interest margin expansion and moderating credit cost" according to UOBKH. DBS's new dividend policy is expected to be at a 57 percent payout rate for 2018, in conjunction with improvement in its return-on-equity to 11.1 percent by returning surplus capital.
Keppel Corporation
Keppel Corporation's (Kep Corp) future prospects seem to be improving with the resolution of its scandal of corrupt payments in Brazil. Also, with expectations of a recovering oil and gas sector, Keppel has been selected as the "preferred proxy" to ride on the recovery wave. Furthermore, infrastructure developments and investments are expected to propel the Keppel Land in the next few quarters. Lastly, UOBKH believes that Kep Corp's recurring profits will be underpinned by rising AUM at Keppel Capital.
City Developments
As Singapore's property sector recovers, City Developments will benefit from the rise in residential asset sales given that it holds the "largest residential landbank of more than 2090 attributable units" according to UOBKH. Potentially, City Development can benefit from an upward re-rating of Revised Net Asset Value on rising asset prices. Positive newsflow relating to Amber Park launch and projects within its vicinity could also act as catalysts for its share price.
CDL HTrusts
CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDL HTrust) has recently received an upgrade to its target price to $1.95 (from $1.88). Analysts build-in a higher terminal growth rate of 2.5 percent, following positive results for 4Q17. Given the tight supply growth room for hotel rooms in the pipeline, against the backdrop of rising number of business travelers and Chinese visitors, CDL HTrust is poised to benefit the rise in average daily rate in hotel rooms.
According to UOBKH, Singapore hotels' ADR have already increased by 1.2 percent in fourth quarter last year. This helped to negate the 0.1 percent fall in hotel occupancy rate and in fact resulted in a 1.1 percent increase in revenue per available room.
Singapore Telecommunications
Singapore Telecommunications' (Singtel) Indonesian associate Telkomsel is growing rapidly owing to subscriber growth and higher revenue from voice and data usage. Given its businesses are largely diversified geographically, with overseas business accounting for about 70 percent of its bottom line, Singtel is the most insulated telecom from the fourth and upcoming mobile operator in Singapore.
Wing Tai Holdings
Though Wing Tai Holdings (Wing Tai) took a hard hit in February due to rising market uncertainties, analysts are confident of its net cash position that is expected to help it to increase its presence in key markets in Singapore, Malaysia and Australia.
It also has a significant headroom for debt of $1.6 billion (assuming comfortable net gearing level of 50 percent) which will allow it to acquire more landbanks for developments.
Potentially, Wing Tai could launch its recently acquired Serangoon North Avenue 1 site that and UOBKH believes will happen in 6 to 9 months time.

Mel B spices up Ultimo underwear
By Staff|
London (ANI): English pop singer Melanie Brown or Mel B as she is more popularly known, has been chosen as the new Ultimo girl. The Spice Girl replaced 26-year-old Sarah Harding as the underwear firm's top model. The reason Harding was dropped, was because the Girls Aloud star lost her curves and spilled out of a corset on a shoot.
Mel B has been praised by Ultimo founder Michelle Mone as being their "biggest ever signing", which has come as a blow to former models Rachel Hunter and Penny Lancaster. Brown, who modelled the gear at a mansion in Beverly Hills, was asked how she felt about the whole thing. "I've never been in better shape so I jumped at the chance," The Sun quoted her as saying

For My Dear, Jeanne (Who belongs to this world and what lies beyond…)
"If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words would never show
The you I've come to know …"
A few poignant lines from the hit ballad, "If", a song I performed on the show so many moons ago, and to this day remains one of my all time favorites; right up there with the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
In the early years I serenaded Jeanne, my Duchess", quite a few times, as written in the script, with that catchy little ditty; and, during rehearsals on set, setting up the camera shots I clearly recall my 'Duchess', interrupting my singing with that famous stage voice of hers: (loud and strident), "Would you shut the F . . . up, with that same old fricking song?!! You're making me sick already!" . . . Her sense of humor was Infectious, to say the least.
The cast and crew erupted into uproarious laughter, the director called for a 5 minute break; I couldn't stop. Jeannie brought me to tears as I buckled over in hysterics. (So you see, Jeanne's genius was to help me humanize Brock Reynolds, a great character who could easily slip into a "Holier-than-thou" kind of guy- a huge mistake)
Thank you, Jeanne, for all your generosity and kindness – on and off the set.
Jeanne, single handedly cleared any and all tension or anxiousness on stage 43; We became a family, a beautiful unit, creating beautiful scenes which soon became thousands of shows – The Young And The Reckless – brilliantly defying all the rules and regulations of daytime television.
And my "Duchess" was at the helm of the ship, indefatigably cheering everyone on, "Yes, you can do it! Everything is possible!"
In short, Jeanne inspired me to become an accomplished actor, a true professional, a known entity in a brutal business. A true STAR, in my opinion, has the unique and God-given gift to bring out the best in others. Never looking for accolades, praise or adoration. It simply comes naturally.
And, that's what my Jeanne was, is, and will always be: A NATURAL, God Bless her.

text: Hey guys. I did a search on the Hamer Cruise Bass and I was surprised that very little stuff was mentioned about Korean import. As some of you may have already know I plan to order a Hamer Velocity 5 but I was just curious if any of you guys have tried Korean import Cruise. I might consider getting it since its alot cheaper than the Velocity. I could do some modifications to it. Cheers guys.

>I am fortunate to have recently purchased a used 13.1" and the optics are awesome! I recently had the opportunity to use both this scope and a Meade 12" LX200 side by side, and the coulter brought in slightly better views on the DSOs such as M13, M92, M57, etc...... One thing that I will upgrade very soon is the plumbing focuser. I'm planning to use the JMI RCF Low profile 2" focuser. I would highly recommend this scope if you find one in good shape and reasonably priced! It is easily a one person scope to transport and set-up. I have 12mm and 7mm Nagler..also, 21mm Pentax eyepieces that perform exceptionally in this scope!
Got to compare the Coulter next to a Discovery 12.5" truss Scope at a recent star party and I was exceptionally pleased at the Coulter's performance!

Quite unexpectantly, for me at least, NARS released some other products as well. Actually, I already saw a promotion of the tinted moisturizer in some British glossy, so I wasn't completely surprised.
What did I get:
- The Pure Radiant tinted moisturizer:
- The 143 BLKR eyeshadow
- NARS threw in the freebie with the discount code: the Blush Super Orgasm in a mini size and their latest Pro Prime Pore Defining Primer
- Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer in St. Moritz
As for the colour, I went slightly darker because I wear my tinted moisturizers the most during summer. In summer I have a slight tan (mostly from faux-tans, my dears). Actually, I got another one than I initially ordered: I'm quite sure I decided to go for Annapurna (medium with peach undertone) and gotten St. Moritz.
St. Moritz has been described as a
Still, it looks matching on the browner tone of my arms (the colour I will resemble most in summer).
I haven't been trying it that much because I just got it. According to NARS it "helps reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots for a brighter natural glow".
I'll keep an eye on that claim and hope to see the results on that one.
As for the finish: It really reminds me of my favourite Urban Decay tinted moisturizer. It smoothes down some irregularities without masking the face. I actually prefer it over Urban Decay right now, because it absorbs a bit faster into the skin.
2. Freebie Pro Prime Pore Defining Primer
3. 143 BLKR eyeshadow
|NARS' compacts looks so beautiful when just out of the box
I have read tons of raves about Lhasa and it looked really good in swatches. I also had seen 143 BLKR online and seen them compared with Lhasa.
Lhasa looked like the easiest, to go for taupe. That made it also a bit too similar to a couple of other taupes I have. Seeing the lavender undertone of 143 BKLR I decided I needed that one. Also, the fact that it is more difficult to get from other websites than the official NARS website. I'm a sucker for difficult-to-get, limited edition stuff: call it the hoarder and collecter in me :D
|So beautiful, this dusty lavender
I have read some reviews about bloggers regretting going for 143 BLKR over Lhasa and I believe it is a more complicated colour. It actually veers to the cool side and some eyecolours do not really come to live with a cooler hue. In general, I think reading a couple reviews of women who have similar colouring/eyecolour and makeup-strategies as you do can help you to decide if you need/want this shade.
I won't review the mini blush Super Orgasm. I would never use it on my cheeks because Hello Glitter but I actually like it as a peach colour on my eyes. It is pigmented as an eyeshadow too.
He he, nice one NARS. Still considering the Mexican Rose lippencil...that colour looks too good to pass away.

The 3rd Portable Surgical Hospital, USASOS, left New Guinea and arrived in Brisbane, Queensland on 1 March 1943 on board the liberty ship "Henry Dearborn". They remained in the port area until troop trains were assembled to carry the troops of the 127th Infantry and the 3rd Portable Surgical Hospital. They travelled to northern New South Wales and arrived at Wommin's Bay on the Tweed River at 4am on 2 March 1943.
The following official documents from the National Archives and Records Administration, gives a good overview of part of the time that the 3rd Portable Surgical Hospital was located at Iron Range:-
20 August, 1943
SUBJECT: History of Activities of the 3rd Portable Surgical Hospital for the period of March 1 to June 30, 1943 (sic).
TO : Chief Surgeon, USASOS, A.P.O. 501, (THRU: Surgeon, Base Section #2, A.P.O. 922).
1. The 3rd Portable Surgical Hospital disembarked on March 1, 1943 in Brisbane, Qld. from the "Henry Dearborn", a liberty ship, returning from New Guinea. We were restricted to the Port area until trains were made up to carry all troops of the 127th Infantry and ourselves to Woman's Bay (Sic: Wommin's Bay) on the Tweedshead River (Sic: Tweed River), N.S.W. We arrived there about 4 A.M. of the 2nd of March.
2. The 127th Infantry with its three Portable Hospitals, (3rd, 4th, and 5th) part of the 107th Medical Battalion and other allied and attached outfits were quarantined in this camp for seventeen days. There were no duties other than those of running a camp. No one was allowed to leave. It was an ideal place for rest and recreation with the ocean on one side and a good sandy beach, and the Tweeds' river (Sic: Tweed River) on the other. During this period everyone was given the routine treatment for malaria of quinine, atabrine, and plasmochin.
3. As a hospital, we did not function. The only duties any officer had was to alternate with the regimental and battalion surgeons at sick call. All illnesses developing were either transferred to Southport or to Brisbane.
4. On March 19, 1943 we moved with the regiment to Camp Cable when we again failed to function as a hospital but spent our time rehabilitating ourselves and our equipment. Capt. Karns was placed on detached duty with the hospital the 107th Medical Battalion opened in the camp for Malaria patients. Capt. Long, just prior to moving to Camp Cable, had been sent to the 42nd General Hospital because of severe back pain. The remainder of us followed the Infantry training schedule as beat we could, teaching and attending classes.
5. About April 1st orders were received detaching the Portable Hospitals from the 6th Army control and the 127th Infantry, and the 3rd Portable Surgical Hospital was assigned to its parent organization the 42nd General Hospital. We left Camp Cable April 2, 1943 and proceeded to Brisbane by motor transportation reporting to the Commanding Officer of the 42nd General Hospital for duty and training.
6. The time spent at Stuartholme was occupied with hospital training for the enlisted personnel and ward duty for the officers. Capt. Muller was placed as Commanding Officer of the convalescent section of the 42nd General Hospital and remained there until our departure. We adopted a training schedule which is included with this history. It was carried out more or less loosely for, although we required thirteen replacements among the enlisted men, we did not get them until we had orders to move and then did not get an officer to replace Capt. Long who had remained in the hospital with a severe corneal ulcer.
7. A new T/B/A/ was issued. The entire equipment was collected, packed and stored in a Medical Supply Depot in Brisbane, with shipping list of cubic feet and weight prepared for quick movement.
8. About the middle of May, a little over two months after leaving New Guinea the entire outfit, except one officer and four enlisted men, developed Malaria, all of P vivax and were admitted to the hospital. None of the cases were severe. Treatment followed that, as above with routine recoveries.
9. About June 1st orders were received assigning the 3rd Portable Surgical Hospital to Base Section #2 and movement orders were received sending the outfit to Iron Range, Queensland. The orders specifically stated that no equipment would be carried but equipage would be obtained from the Base Section at Townsville and from the 18th Station Hospital which we were to replace at Iron Range.
10. The outfit consisting of 25 enlisted men and two officers left Brisbane for Cairns on June 3, 1943 by rail. The Commanding Officer, William L. Garlick, was at that time in the 42nd General Hospital with malaria and no fourth Officer had been assigned. We arrived in Cairns June 5, 1943 departed by boat, the "Mongana", a Tasmania barge under a Norwegian skipper on June 7th arriving at Portland Roads, Iron Range on June 9, 1943.
11. At the time of our arrival the 18th Station Hospital was preparing for its departure and left on or about June 15th with most of its equipment. A detail of one sergeant and three enlisted men was sent to Townsville with requisitions for equipment to fill our needs in running a fifty bed station hospital and returned by boat shortly after the 18th Station Hospital's departure.
12. From June 15th to 31st we have run a 50 bed station hospital in this area where there is no other hospitalization between Port Moresby to Cairns. Our patients have been chiefly, Australians, the ratio to Americans is about 3 to 1. The majority of the cases have been minor surgical diseases, although there have been the occasional acute appendix or generalized peritonitis and occasional infectious or systemic Medical cases.
13. We have had a recurrence of malaria in five of the Enlisted Men and or one Officer. These attacks have been mild and with quick recovery.
14. The hospital has been running an average of 25 to 27 patients in beds. The morning sick call runs from 15 to 20 patients a day.
15. The Base Section has assigned two medical officers and a dentist to fill the needs of this area. One officer is placed on temporary duty at the Port Detachment "A". Another is Registrar and takes sick call each morning. A third officers besides his hospital duties, is Sanitary Inspector for all Australian and American Camps of the area. The fourth medical officer, beyond his hospital duties is the meat and ration inspector for the area, a job which requires six afternoons a week.
16. We have spent much of our time trying to improve the building and area. The building is being painted, shrubs are being planted on the hillside to try to keep the red dirt from washing against the building. Underbrush has been cleaned out, Electrical improvement have been added.
17. We are at this time one officer and eight enlisted men under T/O strength according to the latest T/O strength according to the latest T/O of Headquarters, USASOS, APO 501, dated 20 June, 1943.
9 January, 1944
SUBJECT: Quarterly Report of History of Medical Activities of the 3rd Portable Surgical Hospital. October 1, 1943 to December 31, 1943.
TO : The Chief Surgeon, USASOS, APO 501 (Thru Channels)
1. The 3rd Portable Surgical Hospital has continued in its previously reported location at Iron Range on the Cape York Peninsula near Portland Rhodes (Sic: Roads) located seventeen miles from the Port in one direction and five miles from the Gordon Air Strip in the other direction. All of the troops receiving medical attention at the hospital were located on this road which runs roughly North and South. Just above the hospital location is the only other usable road in the area running West to Winlock and Cohen (Sic: Coen). To the east, over a range of hills, swamp and jungle, the Pacific Ocean lies about five miles distant.
2. The hospital was placed on the side of a rather steep hill, chiefly to get it above the water level in the rainy season when all of the level ground is either under water or a sea of mud. The road had been cut out of the side of the hills when ever practical for this same reason. The hospital consisted of one large T shaped building of corrugated roof and sides, completely screened, end with a concrete floor, and containing one large ward holding fifty beds, from the center of which a hallway ran at right angles opening front which were partitioned off rooms set up as surgery, surgical supply room, dentistry, laboratory and first aid room. Opening off the opposite side of the ward was a passage way loading to the enlisted men's and patients' mess, kitchen and officers' mess hall. About fifty feet beyond the ward was the patients latrine. At the opposite end at about the same distance were showers, enlisted men's latrine, laundry and carpenter shop. The enlisted men lived in pyramidal tents placed above the building on the top of the hill. The officers lived in small wall tents in a circle about 200 yards from the enlisted men's quarters. The entire area was open to the constant eastern breeze and consequently relatively cool. The reserve medical and quartermaster supplies were stored in a ward tent. All tents were placed. on floor boards, raised well above the ground.
3. For the duration of our station at Iron Range the season was dry with only occasional showers and usually absolutely clear skies with high temperature and humidity which made work in the middle of the day impractical and, fortunately usually wasn't required.4. The troops which were in the area were:-
All of the troops were performing service or patrol duties.
5. There was one Australian medical officer in the area, a major, of about sixty years of age, who had served in the last war but who had raised sheep since and was brought back into the Army in his previous capacity. No other medical officers or units were along the coast from Cairns to Thursday Islands.
6. The Portable Surgical Hospital functioned as a 50 bed station hospital with sufficient equipment to expand to 150 beds if necessary. The Commanding officer was in charge of the surgical ward and its duties, performed all major and minor surgery. Capt. S.E. Muller, besides his duties as asst. Commanding Officer and supply officer, had charge of the medical service and ward, and also supervised the laboratory work. Capt. J. R. Karns, beyond his duties as personnel officer, finance officer, commander of det. of patients worked as medical ward officer, and pharmacist. Capt. Muller and Capt. Karns alternated in taking morning sick call which was the heaviest medical duties in the area.
7. Beyond the hospital duties, we functioned as sanitary inspector for all camps in the area and as veterinary inspector, for fresh beef was driven to the area and butchered. Capt. Muller filled the first office and Capt. Karns the second.
8. A dental officer, Capt. E. M. Rosenblum, was assigned from Base Sec 2 and besides his duties as a dentist he was mess officer for the organization.
9. The enlisted men were organized exactly according to T/O. Two men were promoted to the rank of sergeant and seven promoted to PFC while in the area. The group as a whole were well qualified to perform the duties required of them.
10. Few medical publications and current literature on developments in medicine and surgery were available. What could be obtained was requisitioned from the medical supply depot. Members of the 42nd Gen Hosp were kind enough to pass on current monthly publications received from the United States occasionally.
11. Technical training was continued for all enlisted personnel. A team of three surgical technicians were given "dry runs" daily in preparation of the supplies, the patient and themselves for major surgery, going through the routine of setting up the operating room, preparing the patient, scrubbing and getting into gown and gloves. They became so proficient it, this until they could be ready for the surgeon to make the incision within 20 minutes. Instructions were also given in the various operations such as appendectomies, hernias, amputations, and control of hemorrhage and artificial respiration, application of bandages, after care of wounds.
12. The technicians on medicine were given instructions in nursing, bed patient care, tropical diseases and the care of the patient. Individual instruction was given to the sergeant in charge of laboratory work in the routine work of urinalysis and blood and in the recognition of malaria parasites and ova.
13. There was little or no difficulty in obtaining the necessary medical equipment and medical supplies. The difficulty was one of irregular transportation facilities. Most supplies came into the area by boat and although a regular schedule was set up, many variable circumstances contributed to the run taking from three weeks to two months. Occasionally, urgently required equipment was flown into the area. One piece of medical equipment which we had constant need of and could not obtain was a portable X-ray unit. There was very frequently the questionable case of a fracture which clinical judgment could not accurately determine. These cases were treated conservatively and usually evacuated for X-ray confirmation. It would have been a very helpful piece of equipment in such a remote area.
14. One item of issue seemed to deteriorate after a long period in that climate -- the cat-gut sutures. The supply we were first issued with had been held by the 18th Station hospital in the area for about 8 months. When the tubes were broken for use they were very brittle and had lost much of their strength. Buried in subcutaneous tissue, they tended to be delayed in absorption and accumulate serum about them. The lot was returned to the medical supply depot. At that time, they had been in the area a year.
15. Water supply was excellent and adequate. We were equipped with a pump and well which put out about 5000 gallons of clear water a day and which was stored in 600 gallon tanks on top of a hill to give good plumbing pressure. The amount of water used required the pump to be run only one hour a day. Water was piped to ward, kitchen, showers and laundry. It did not require chlorination, although that used in the ward for patients was purified.
16. There were showers for the enlisted men, patients, and officers. The laundry consisted of two washing machines which were adequate for our need. Messing facilities were adequate even though we fed from 105 to 120 every meal. Food was excellent except for the lack of sufficient fresh vegetables and eggs. Beef was butchered in that area. By hunting with dogs, we were able to kill more than enough wild pork for the table. Bread was baked in the area, and though weevilly, was good. For sewage and garbage disposal, a concrete incinerator was built which functioned very well. And lastly, the area was very free of vermin and disease bearing insect.
17. Fifty hospital beds were kept open at all times. The average number of patients daily was about twenty, the majority of which were infected wounds with lymphangitis and lymphadenitis, infected tinea, with the occasional acute appendix or fracture. The most frequent fractures in the area were of the skull, one occurring nearly every Sunday in a cricket match. There were occasionally cases off the ships, which passed along the coast, of diarrhea, malaria and minor accidents. On the whole both surgery and medicine was very light and we turned to a training program to fill the time.
18. Three burned cases were the most interesting that we had. All were 2nd and 3rd degree burns, one of the entire leg, the other two of the arm, face and chest, all from gasoline in lighting the field range. Each was treated very conservatively in debriding the burned areas. The wounds were then dressed with cod liver oil containing sulfadiazine and covered with pressure bandages. No infection resulted. Within three weeks the burned areas were covered with new epithelium except for small isolated spots. None required skin grafting in our judgment. In six weeks epithelization was complete and the patients ready for sick leave and light duty.
19. There were no cases of any venereal disease in that area either old or new.
20. We developed our recreation facilities to the fullest possible extent setting up a gymnasium with parallel bars, punching bag, basketball court and every week an inter unit baseball game was played. We called on the special service for libraries, radios and victrolas.
21. On November 19, 1943 movement orders were received to proceed to A.P.O. 923. The hospital was closed on that day and the 3rd. Portable Surgical Hospital boarded the SS Wandana, an Australian tramp steamer, and proceeded uneventfully to disembark at Brisbane on November 29, 1943. All equipment was returned south with the Organization.
22. The organization was attached to the 42nd Gen Hosp on arriving in Brisbane. We began immediately to reequip the organization. Physical examinations were done on all personnel. A training program was set up and followed. Leaves were granted for all personnel and the T/O has been brought up to nearly full strength with the assignment of one officer and six enlisted men. At this time we are prepared and awaiting further combat duty.
Can anyone help me with more information?

* In the context of someone who claims to have served in the Military, the connotation of "tree hugger" is as a derogatory comment.

Hows about Reporting this Patriot (Red Button right above at his Posts).
Its kinda disturbing for me and maybe for other also, when you 'are on something' and the Topic get disturbed with Posts like he do, but thats probatly his Intention.
Could be that he has not much else to do, a lot ex-army Employees what i know now sit at home, have nothing to do and are sick alcoholics, what have no Sense for reality anymore.
And now the Internet is full with them too.
Theorizer are like High Voltage. A lot hot Air with no Power behind but they are the dead of applied Work and Ideas.
As the 2 main protagonists in this little drama kept accusing each other of isults, while insisting THEY weren't insulting anyone, and, to mymind niether was doing more than, perhaps, using derogatory terms, I thought I'd make a clear example of the difference; "Treehugger" is derogatory, *sshole is an insult.
To my mind, if ANYONES going to be 'Red Buttoned" send BOTH to their seperate corners.No one needs to "Red Button" me, as (Having TRIED to get this thread back on topic, and failed) I'm giving up on it. Not THAT interested in this technology anyway. In any case, I'm confident any 'moderator' who reads my posts will see I made an honest attempt to steer the conversation away from pointless debates, and towards discussing the technology.
And speculating on someones motives for their behavior, or making generalisations about Veterans, is eaqually a waste of time, words and the I-net.
Amasing to me that we have this WONDERFUL new tool, enabling us to share ideas with people fromaround the world, and THIS is what we choose to do with it???? Human BEANS; "Legumes with legs!!!"Jim
Well, for me is any form of debasing a form of insult, no matter what the word is.
But i actually only report Spammer and heavy disturber. And they appear any time when a Topic is here, where someone is on something. The best thing you can do is to use this red button, to avoide further useless and fruitless Discussions, but its not for send someone into her corner, but to remove them completely.
I blame the Peoples what did set up this System for the behave of Peoples, they educated them well for her Purpose and formed her public Opinions that they serve them.
This kind of Disruptors are anywhere, in a lot of Topics, but when they think, they wanna express her Opinions, then they can do that at an other Place, another Forum. But its even more worse, that there are Writers, what intentionally interrupt Topics, and its not that you will sit that out, because they will stay like .. well, longer as most others, when you let them go on.
The easiest way there is indeed report them at her first attempt.
Just another Example from Technology supression, i read lately about the Elsbett motor, a engine what use cold air in the chamber beside the normal Gas. The engine needs lesser Fuel and has more Power. They won a Race with this Engine, the news simple did ignore them, and not even show them as Winner in the list, and that was even our common automobile club.
This is not even a big breakthrough at something, only a Improvement. Beside that now a few other Companys try to build similar Principles, but, of course, try to let Peoples pay for any step in the developing this 'complicated Principle'.
But its nothing where you can win a War with it, its simple something to save Resources and make a efficiency engine, but even that is restricted like much more too because of the greed and 'national Security Reasons' from certain Groups. Thats just like, let the Fools bleed for her stupidity.
For me, the Guys what think, they need to win a War are not much better as the one what build the Bombs, because they destroy this Planet too by supporting further exploitation and destroying the Resources.
Theorizer are like High Voltage. A lot hot Air with no Power behind but they are the dead of applied Work and Ideas.

I thought about that too, but its only a comparison.
I usual say, everyone got one, i meet mine each time (at work, but right now in my neighbourhood). But that then its more like an insult, even when its kinda true.
Theorizer are like High Voltage. A lot hot Air with no Power behind but they are the dead of applied Work and Ideas.
"Everyone's GOT one
and most ALL of us, at one time or another, ARE one. Certainly applies to me, I know. In fact, most often when I am REALLY ticked off about something, and 'sounding off', after I calm down and sleep on it, I realise "Oh, I was being a real *sshole!"
But then, definition of "Hind Sight"; The FIRST thing you SEE, when you jerk your head out of your *ss!
They have a new kind of Dr., a specialist thats a cross between a Chiropractor and a Proctologist. The idea is to jerk your head out of your *ss, and 'adjust' the spine so it doesn't go back in. But, like a 'regular' Chiropractor, its only a 'treatment', not a cure, and you have to keep going back for 'adjustments'; I go every couple of weeks, and gotta admit, I'm 'Overdue'!
There is a surgery they can do, for extreme cases; they surgically implant a plexiglas window in your belly, so at least you can see where the *ell your going! I AM considering it, actually,....
Guess I'm feeling like Rodney King; "Hey, can't we all just get along????"
How about 'ageeing to disagree', and 'moving on'? ANd, once again, how about focusing on the subject of alternate technologies, and not getting all caught up in whether there is or isn't a conspiracy to supress technologies, and whether this is or isn't a good thing?
The last 4 or 5 posts, including mine, haven't doone a THING towards moving anyone closer to developing Thorium as a battery, or source of energy, or ANYTHING. So, our 'Patriot' has made it clear. HE thinks there are technologies that SHOULD be suppressed by the Gov't, either because they would be 'unsafe' in the 'hands' of the 'masses', or because they 'need' to be 'reserved' for the military. To me, agree or disagree, thats a perfectly valid position, or opinion, and he IS entitled to it. And others disagree, and they have expressed that, and they are 'entitled' to THEIR opinion, as well.
So, FINE! Now, lets MOVE on, and TALK about this technology, is it safe, how CAN it be done safely, what are related technologies, etc.
Anyway, I have enough other simple, promising technologies to explore. I WOULD be interested in trying to learn more about this one, but am tired of the (to me) silliness and distractions. Jim
No more distractions - Let's focus on the technology!
I think Dave's idea is worth exploring. Theoretically it would work. Dave what isotope are you suggesting and can you get more specific? I have access to a university science lab on weekends and I am willing to expend a few hours to give it a try. What part of the country are you in? Maybe we can meet up and work together on this?
The harder you work the luckier you get!
Im working at building a device similar to the one I posted, you can view it here The electric field of a magnet
I started this thread some months ago to keep from butting into other threads with my idea's.
The project Im working on could very well be enhanced with a radioactive isotope, but I will try it without it first.
I believe making the device to fit the natural flow of the fields is essential.
I just need to get my ass to building
Half of the Answer is knowing the right Question
Keep going Dave!
I just went over your drawings and I think if you add the Thorium 232 isotope, you may very well have a much simpler battery than Aries DeGeus. It will be curious to see what amps and voltage you can pump out. According to witnesses, Petronov's battery was bigger than a shoebox but smaller than a briefcase and powered a 2 bedroom home full of appliances. But full-steam ahead, I am convinced you are the right track. Good luck!
The harder you work the luckier you get!
Green Energy Technology Suppression Exposed
I also want to share a quote with everyone although I am not sure of the source - maybe Ben Franklin?
"While knowledge is always a priceless treasure, ignorance is the most costly commodity by any measure."
You may contact him about this at his site where he does not sell the device neurophone anymore just the replacement pads. Perhaps he can explain to you about conspiracies?[/QUOTE]
Here is one of three laws used by the U.S. Patent Office to seal patents:
35 U.S.C. 181 Secrecy of certain inventions and withholding of patent. - Patent Laws
The Department of State and Commerce also have similar laws under "ITAR" which prohibits the export of flagged technologies (actually a good thing in some cases)
ITAR Export Compliance - Export Rules
Lastly the Department of Energy has their own regulations and statutes that require "Special Review" of any new energy device which is more than 20% energy efficient and they have actually made any solar panel that is more than 20% efficient illegal in America. Go figure.
Patent Office
My brother the lawyer (he claims to know everything of course) also tells me that the National Security Act and Patriot Act alos has provisions that allow both the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense the right to seal or remove high-tech or disruptive technology patents from public files if they "pose an imminent threat to public safety". I have not found these law yet but if and when I do, I will post them. Just for giggles I think I'll drop my local Congressman a letter to see even he even knows about this crap. Stay tuned.

AGAIN, lets focus on the 'damn battery', and unfocus on the suppression aspect. Its (suppression) already been 'beat todeath', and further discussion just distracts from a technical discussion of HOW such a battery works, how one would go about building/using one, etc. Come on now, please.Jim
The harder you work the luckier you get!

This is bullsh*t guys...
Nothing this BIG could be kept so secret for so long without hundreds of law suits from the inventors, their investors, and the millions of people who operate truck fleets, delivery vans, etc.
And the oil companies are not stupid. They have tons of cash and would buy the rights to these miracle batteries to monopolize the market and keep their strangle hold on us.
But if by some remote chance these batteries really do exist, I would have to agree with what Patriot said because we are definitely headed towards WWIII with all the civil wars in the Middle East and China's growing into a real super power and the return of Putin who is spending billions to restore Russia's military might. To add to the tension, India and Pakistan both just test-launched their own nuclear missiles to intimidate each other. America cannot afford to police the world any more so we will have to worry about protecting our own ass. Again, IF these batteries exist, they could make a big difference on the battlefield.
Also, if they used Thorium they would be radioactive and unsafe - another reason I don't think they are real or allowed to be used by the public.

This is for the trolls who think were building dangerous nuclear devices, or some one who doesn't understand the principal: It is under the impression that they use some sort of nuclear reaction to generate the power, this is completely false. They generate power from a conversion from radiation to electrical power ( just like a solar cell ) that is why they are harmless, all the radiation is absorbed and used as useful power, a correctly functional unit will have absolutely no radiation output because it is all converted into electrical power. This is very possible with the use of "polarized plasma" of a sort, I know how to create this plasma and I even have some designs I will be testing. I just hope you all realize this is NOT a nuclear reaction this is an absorption of electromagnetic energy therefor has no radio active waste or emissions. But of course raw radio active materials can be hazardous and must be treated with caution. It does not mean that the end result will be a dangerous bomb or radiation hazard of some sort just because we are using these materials. Radio active substance are quite amazing and deserve more interest but unfortunately the common mind set is that they are extremely dangerous and if you treat it wrongly it will explode in a nuclear blast or some such. If you actual get into the physics and chemistry you will see how hard it is to create a nuclear blast or the deadly gamma radiation that we all fear. What I'm trying to say is that these substances have amazing uses other than killing, and all we have to do is realize that. Realize how we have twisted something that was naturally safe and quite amazing in of itself into a hazard. Is this all we are capable of? We have taken one of the rare sources of free energy and turned it into a weapon so that every one will fear it. And now everyone fears to use it for simple power generation.
Chill out and tell me why I am wrong in your opinion
1) How come something this big was not at Wikileaks?
2) How could thousands of government employees keep a secret so long?
3) Why aren't the inventors and their investors suing the pants off the government?
4) Why are all the academic geeks and researches so silent about such a HUGE breakthrough?
5) Where is the inventor(s) of this technology now?
If you can't answer the above, lets just agree to disagree without getting so damn hostile okay?

No Leviathan, this thread is about one nuclear battery called a "Thorium Plasma Battery" as you will see in the OP. It is for this first post that I have five legitimate questions. Can you answer these five questions for me instead of launching insults? If you want to ignore me that is okay, but I hope someone else will deal with my 5 questions.
You are only helping the Chinese & Russians
The people who run web sites like these should not allow people to expose classified military secrets on-line. Scream all you want, but if these batteries were ever used in a way that cost American lives in a war, you would be guilty of aiding and abetting the enemy. Then how would feel when you watched more Americans being buried on TV and learn they were killed by some advanced weapon system that used technology you blabbed about to strangers on the internet? You think our enemies abroad don't look for technology "freebies" on the internet? The Chinese can duplicate anything. They have been doing it for over a century. This site is grossly irresponsible and I plan to ask my Congressman to do something about it.
Freedom is never free. If you are not willing to pay its price then stand in line for it like the rest of the world!

Cool story bro, btw its not revealing US military secretes to post your own designs that you invented
secondly is is not even remotely possible to share a secret we have no
knowledge of.
Moot point.
Breaking News - They found the missing Russian inventor
This is getting serious guys. I just got this in from my RSS feed. The Russian inventor of the plasma battery (Dimitri Petronov) who disappeared in 2010 was pulled form a river in Russia. Here's the link
[Global News] Plasma Energy Battery Inventor Dimitri Petronov Found in Moscow - Dead
Something isn't right, in an interview of Petronov's wife she said that she received a box in the mail containing his watch, which was muddy and rusty but that was on 1/17/12. In the article stating that they found his body was on 1/29/12, so either they found his body long before 1/29 and sent the watch to MP before the 1/17 interview, and then 12 days later the email stating that they found his body was sent to the detectives. Or there are two different watches. Either could be a possibility, in the email it said that they body had its hands cut off, I would think this would only be done if the killer didn't want the body to be IDed with finger prints, and expected the body to be found before the fingers decomposed. Just some facts to think about, he may or may not be dead...
Missing Or Murdered Scientists & Inventors
Plasma Batteries
Hello Folks: The topic you are discussing was sent to me via e-mail from a friend. Found it so interesting that i read every post and became a member only to share with you my experience. I have worked for most of the major aerospace organizations including NASA in various positions. When at Boeing Huntington Beach, CA, I found myself in the Battery Lab Vault, down in the basement one day, discussing these shelves of batteries with the person in charge. He showed me batteries that he said would never go dead, they would last for ever without a charge. In-fact, one of them was installed in the old Pioneer Satellites from the 60's i believe and at the time was still sending telemetry back. This was 1990, I asked why can't we get these batteries to the public? His response was that it would kill an industry because we could not sell the public a new battery every few years. This technology has been around a long time! Good luck, and i hope you are able to work this out without sacrificing your precious life's as others obviously have. Cheers!

Read carefully...
Or as you say, maybe he is still alive and they want everyone to think he is dead, but then I would ask... for what reason? Right now I think the most impotant thing is to find out the real true role of this Zachary character.
Side Note: Thanks KCJones for your note but what you are talking about are the first generation of nuclear batteries called "RTGs" which were first used in 1961 when NASA launched the voyager. This link has a photo of one Nuclear Generators Power NASA Deep Space Probes (Infographic) | Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) | Plutonium-238 Power | Space.com But those batteries were highly radiactive and worked on a completely different principal. By all indications this new nuclear battery called the Thorium plasma battery or "TPB" do not use fission nor decay (like other voltaic batteries) and have the same radiation level as a cell phone.

History for the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research can be traced back over half a century. The first institute was held at Howard College, now Samford University, in September 1962. During its first years it was called the Willo Institute of Genealogy. The institute was named after its sponsor, Willo Press, a local press headed up by Elizabeth Wood Thomas. The press specialized in genealogical and historical materials. Thomas is credited with founding the institute and for having "the vision to realize we need to know how to do genealogical research."1
Mr. F. W. Helmbold, the director of the college library from 1957–1983, is credited with getting the college library involved with the genealogical program. Mr. Helmbold was an avid researcher and genealogist. During his years at Howard College/Samford University, he developed a Special Collection department to emphasize Alabama and Baptist history. He was also instrumental in the acquisition of the Albert E. Casey collection, an extensive Irish collection with few rivals in the world.2
From the very beginning, premier instructors have been associated with the institute. With the leading researchers and scholars in the field teaching the courses, the institute has led the genealogy discipline in the instruction of family research and local history. Mr. Helmbold once described the purpose of the institute as being to teach researchers how, "to establish a true record of events for history, as compared to that recorded from hearsay and tradition."3 The institute has sought to instruct genealogical researchers in the art of detailed historical research beyond knowing who their ancestors were to the deeper understanding of the times and places in which their families lived.
Over the years, the institute has taken on many forms. In 1962 the institute was a two-day event with forty students attending and five faculty members. The cost that first year was only $10 plus an additional $2.50 for those who attended the formal banquet held on the first night.
By 1965, the institute had become a week-long event and had moved to the month of June. By that year, the name had also changed to the Institute of Genealogy. The institute was advertised as offering two courses, a primary course and an advanced course, both of which were to be "conducted in the air-conditioned library." The classes that year began at 9 A.M. and some lasted as late as 9:30 P.M. By 1965, the number of instructors had doubled from the original five during the 1962 institute to ten faculty members.
Under the leadership of Director Jean Thomason, the number of courses offered during the week-long institute increased to ten, the number of faculty members grew to over thirty, and the number of students grew to over two hundred. Students travel from across the country and around the globe to attend the popular institute.

KOCHI: The Motor Vehicles Department on Saturday seized a bus heading towards Cherai beach from Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, for evading tax worth `2.5 lakh.
MVD officials said though the original registration of the bus was with Kanjangad regional transport office, the vehicle owner was operating the bus in Tamil Nadu using a fake registration and chassis number mainly to evade tax.
The MVD officials conducted an inspection at Cherai after getting a tipoff. "Though they changed the vehicle number and chassis number, they forget to change the engine number and that helped us seize the vehicle," said Najeev, MVD official who seized the vehicle along with MVI Kishore Kumar.

Family Dental Care
If you and your dentist determine that you would benefit from having a tooth removed, we'll schedule an appointment for oral surgery. You can be assured of receiving the best dental treatments because the same caring professionals you know from your regular dental exams and teeth cleaning are a part of the same staff that will be performing your surgery.
Good oral hygiene should always be practiced since the loss of a single tooth can have a major impact upon your oral health and appearance. Although dentists will use every measure to prevent tooth loss, it is sometimes necessary when teeth may need to be extracted. A tooth may need to be extracted for the following reasons:
After careful examination and treatment, the dentist may advise to have a tooth extracted. Before a tooth is removed, the dentist will take an x-ray in order to understand the shape and position of the tooth and surrounding bone. Based on the degree of difficulty, we may refer you to a oral surgeon.
For a simple extraction, we will first apply a local anesthetic to prevent pain and discomfort. The tooth will be loosened with a tool called an elevator and then removed with dental forceps. Once the procedure is complete, the area may be closed with one or two stitches. We will then provide you with aftercare instructions to help alleviate discomfort and ensure proper healing. You will be scheduled for a short return visit to check the healing process.
Wisdom teeth are the last molars or "third molars" that develop on each side of the jaws. Wisdom teeth usually emerge in the back of the mouth between the ages of 18-25.
Wisdom teeth are a valuable asset to the mouth when they are healthy and properly positioned. Often, however, problems develop that require their removal. When the jaw isn't large enough to accommodate wisdom teeth, they can become impacted (unable to come in or misaligned). Wisdom teeth may also grow in sideways, emerge only part way through the gum or remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. Wisdom teeth extractions are most often performed because of an active problem such as pain, swelling, decay or infection, or as a preventive measure to avoid serious problems in the future. If impaction of one or more wisdom teeth is present, and left untreated, a number of potentially harmful outcomes can occur, including:
Damage to nearby teeth: Second molars (the teeth directly in front of the wisdom teeth) can be adversely affected by impacted wisdom teeth, resulting in tooth decay, (cavities), periodontal disease (gum disease) and possible bone loss.
Disease: Although uncommon, cysts and tumors can occur in the areas surrounding impacted wisdom teeth.
Infection: Bacteria and food can become trapped under the gum tissue, resulting in an infection. The infection can cause considerable pain and swelling.
Tooth Crowding: It has been theorized that impacted wisdom teeth can put pressure on other teeth and cause them to become misaligned (crowded or twisted). This theory isn't universally accepted by all dental professionals, but can be a possible consideration by your dentist.
A wisdom tooth extraction is a relatively routine procedure. The dentist will numb the area in your mouth with a local anesthesia. After the tooth is removed, we will provide aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. Some pain and swelling may occur but will normally subside after a few days. You should call our office, 1-216-661-2422, if you have prolonged or severe pain, swelling, bleeding or fever.

County commissioners Monday approved a contract with G-M Productions to organize Osceola's segment of Walt Disney World's 15th anniversary celebration.
It was approved in a 4 to 0 vote without comment. Commissioner Larry Whaley was absent. Commissioners voted 3 to 2 on June 16 to hire G-M, which has offices in Kissimmee and Toronto, instead of an Orlando company, Image International, which had been recommended by the county's Tourist Development Council.
