A small yard—more for show than functionality—now sits where SERR School and the Johnson Dry Goods hardware store once were. Where the yard used to be is now where our town is, consisting of the stations, the hardware store, the Apple Store, a church, a house, and other railroad structures.
We have published a revised version of the Rolling Stock Library entry for our LGB Amtrak trainset, including lots of information on the prototype.
In other news, LGB has announced their new products for 2010. Notable among these is the return of the F7 A- and B-unit locomotives and accompanying streamliner coaches, available in Santa Fe livery. You can download a PDF of the brochure or view details on LGB's website (German).
Today we took delivery of the newest piece of rolling stock on the layout, an LGB 40820 Santa Fe center flow hopper. Pushing 20 inches in length, the hopper is reportedly close to 1:29 scale, the same as our relatively new LGB Amtrak rolling stock and as our Aritsocraft pieces. The hopper has opening loading and unloading hatches for each of the three storage compartments. We hope to have a picture- and detail-filled Rolling Stock Library entry for the hopper online soon, along with an entry for our USA Trains Moosehead Ale refrigerator car.
In other Rolling Stock Library news, the Stainz entry has a new, better, and bigger picture.
Coincidentally, just as we relaunched our website, LGB has relaunched theirs. Rolled out two years after Marklin bought the assets of Ernst Paul Lehmann Patentwerk, the new LGB website replaces what was basically a placeholder website that offered little more than downloads of price lists, availability schedules, and product brochures.
The new site closely follows the design of Marklin's own website, with sections for products, service, and online shopping. There is also a product database split into narrow gauge trains, standard gauge trains, and track and accessories. However, the database only covers products available under Marklin's LGB and, as such, is a far cry from the much more complete database that was available on E.P. Lehmann's site.
Currently, the website is only available in German. However, it is already partitioned into a German version in the same way Marklin's bilingual website is, so hopefully an English version will be coming soon.
Two years to the day after we relaunched E&A Trains, we have refreshed the site's design. While the overall layout, function, and navigation remain the same, the design as a whole is much lighter. The altered layout also provides room for more content even though the site itself has the same width. Because the right-hand column found on most pages has been moved out of the main content area and into its own, we can reclaim previously wasted space for content. The new layout also makes it easier to access subsection pages. For example, the Archive section has subsections for the News Archive, the Rolling Stock Library, and the Building Library. Now, those three subsections are easily accessible from any page in the Archive section. We believe that this updated design will make it easier for E&A Trains to adapt and grow and we will continue to tweak the site as we adjust to our new look.
This site is the online home of our G-scale model railroad, with trains made by LGB, Aristocraft, and Bachmann.
As you explore the site, you'll find news, pictures, movies, and detailed descriptions of every building and piece of rolling stock.As Miss Piggy prepares for her act, she leaves her dog Foo-Foo in the care of Floyd. Piggy tells Floyd he has to spoon-feed and floss the pampered Foo-Foo, so Floyd locks the dog in a drawer. Frantic, Piggy searches everywhere for Foo-Foo.

GalleryTLW final step is buggy?

I'm having severe problems with this. Not just because I'm a bad shot with handcannons. I've accepted that part and it's not the problem actually. I can hit the targets. If the final three spawn linear, I have no problem getting the shots off. 

My problem lies in that even *after* I've shot Enkar and he recoils, I still get shot. I can see the teal line going from the side of his barrel towards me. And since you can't dodge, there's nothing I can do about it but accept the bug and hope the next round it doesn't happen. Does this happen for others as well?MyLicence will allow insurers to offer you a motor insurance premium using the most up to date and accurate information, removing the likelihood of inaccuracies or fraud during the application process. You’ll have access to the most competitive premiums, and the confidence that your policy is based on the right details.
By allowing the DVLA to provide the data, you’ll be removing the opportunity to make mistakes, and ensuring that the required information is passed on to your insurance provider to give you the best quote possible.
You could be paying the wrong premium without realising it: the ABI has estimated that honest drivers who allow insurance providers to use their licence number through MyLicence could potentially save around £15.
Accurate policy information means fewer declined or adjusted claims.
Over time MyLicence will mean customers are asked fewer questions when purchasing insurance - you won’t need to fill out questions about your driving entitlements or convictions or have your motoring history to hand: simply using your driving licence number will be enough.Michael Persinger (1993, 2010a & 2010b) and his Research Group are known for the "God Helmet". He is a pioneer in the field of experimental studies of mystical experiences.
In 1999, Wired Magazine published an article entitled "This Is Your Brain on God" in which the author, Jack Hitt stated that "Michael Persinger has a vision - the Almighty isn't dead, he's an energy field. And your mind is an electromagnetic map to your soul."
Persinger states at his website that "[a."
Our own theoretical and experimental studies (see references at the end) have shown that: (1) Consciousness is prespacetime (non-spatial and non-temporal) and not in the brain; (2) brain is an interface between Consciousness and the external world; (3) quantum spin is the mind-pixel; (4) magnetic field is manifested by the internal world based on the Principle of Existence. Therefore, altered states of consciousness such as sensed presence and out-of-body experience whether they are produced by magnetic, electric or other stimulations or circumstances can be most effectively explained as the changes of the relative contents and/or intensities of the test subjects’ neural quantum entanglement with their surroundings etc. (including possibly spiritual environments or information!).
Thus, interpreted from the perspectives of our own findings, Persinger's "GOD experiments" might not have proven that GOD and/or mystical experiences are a mere phenomenon localized in the material brain but can be explained as the non-spatial and non-temporal Consciousness through the brain quantum-entangles with his/her environments possibly including the spiritual environment, thus, experiencing sensed presence, out-of-body etc!
For readers interested in more details, please read the below and the articles listed in the Reference.
In a recent article Persinger and his colleague(s) summarize their results as follows (Michael, 2010a):
Quantitative EEG data indicate that a sequence of stimulation by between 1 and 5 uT fields at the scalp’s surface with as little as 10% greater intensity over the right hemisphere compared to the left is associated with greater convergence of theta activity between the left temporal and right prefrontal region. Subsequent bilateral stimulation is associated with greater right-to-left temporal
