This is a Hat Making Tool that I designed and built recently.
I have made several of these lately, trying to catch up on custom orders, and to make a handful of extra rounding jacks to last for awhile until I get in the notion to make some more.
As I was working on these two walnut rounding jacks, I noticed some curly maple strips that a friend of mine gave me left over from scraps he has from a custom door project.
So, I decided to dress up this last set of rounding jacks, just to make them a little different with an accent piece.
Then, I saw some scraps of Ebony I had left over after building new fingers for an old French Conformateur, so I added that stripe as well (doesn't show up well in the photos).
Then, I saw some of the Composite Turquoise I had laying around after building a custom hunting knife for a guy. So, I added that also to one of them.
Anyway, it was really quite fun, and this gave me something new to focus on. I'm not very good at doing long runs of the same thing, as I get bored quickly with repetitive tasks, and seem to only think about what new thing I'd rather be working on at the time. I built 18 rounding jacks this Spring, and all of them have been a little different in some way, which has helped me keep my mind focused.
Items Shown:
1. Deluxe Walnut, Counter Clockwise Cutter, with Curly Maple, Ebony, and Composite Turquoise accents, Serial Number #2009-15
- Walnut Wood
- Angled Blade Holder (Stanley Utility Knife Blade fits)
- Brass Adjustable Crown Shoe
- Brass Under-Plate and Hardware
- Cutting Capacity: 1.25" – 8.0"
- Abalone Shell Inlay
- Laser Engraved Ruler
- Accent stripes on blade holder
thanks for looking,

Project Story:
Rounding Jacks are used to cut the brim felt to size on fedora, western hats, cowboy hats, and several other styles. The brass adjustable curve on the front is placed against the crown, and then the cutter is moved in a rotation around the hat, keep the pressure against the crown. Setting the blade to the proper size is done by adjusting the cutter to the desired cut size, and then tightening the brass knurled knobs.
Display Stand: The display stand is designed to sit on the hatmaker's work bench and hold the cutter when it is not being used. The retractable blade can remain extended this way between uses. This particular stand shown in the photos is Black Walnut. This display stand is meant to make the whole project look like a functional-art sculpture, while it serves it's functional purpose of the Rounding Jack safely.
To make the cut. The blade guard knurled nut is loosened, the blade dropped down and the nut retightened. The slider nuts are loosened and the desired cut width is indicated by the pointer, and the slider nuts are tightened. The hat is placed on a wood crown block to give a firm resistance to the pressure being applied with the cutter, and the brim is placed between the bottom brass plate and the bottom of the cutter. Then, depending on whether the hatmaker is a Clockwise, or a Counterclockwise cutter, the Rounding Jack is slowly moved around the contour of the crown while pushing the cutter toward the center (head). Felt Hat Blanks are very expensive, so after the cutting is complete, a big sigh of relief is heard from the hatmaker.
The Adjustable Brass Crown Band on the front of the cutter is used when the brim is to be cut wider on the sides, than on the front and back. By adjusting the curve of the brass band, the cutter is pushed away farther on the wider curve of the crown sides.

Obama Forgets To Credit "Creator" For Endowed Rights
Much was made about the Obama family attending public services last Sunday. It was their first time since becoming President. The press covered it extensively.
Not so much coverage was given to the President's omissions the preceding Wednesday.
In the concluding remarks of his speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, he omitted the "Creator." Quoting one of the best known phrases in our Declaration of Independence, he reminded the audience they were "endowed with certain inalienable rights," but stopped short of saying the rights came from our "Creator".
Did he choose to skip the part about the "Creator" or simply forget?
Although he is a former constitutional law professor, let's say he forgot.
It was a slip of the tongue. Just like the time he accidentally made reference to," my Muslim faith."
The sermon, incidentally, that the Obama's heard the following Sunday was from Luke, chapter 16, about one's inability to serve two masters.
Thomas McAdam with the Louisville Examiner wrote a little on this matter, concluding with this:
"One doesn't want to nit-pick. But nits, if left unaltered, mature into lice. And this nation doesn't need a lousy president."
Well said.
Be Vigilant. Be Discerning. Be Active. Be Blessed.

A propaganda network has been set up that targets politicians. If a target sneezes , instantlyReplyDelete
the word goes out. The sneeze is dismantled, dissected, studied and analyzed. Then it
is passed on to the propagandists who twist the sneeze into the most unfavorable light to
the public against the target and then this goes out into the network. The target is called
names , ridiculed and how the target sneezed is criticized with truths, half truths and out
and out lies. When the target tries to talk to the citizens about important issues that affect
the country he is met with questions about the sneeze and has to explained why and how he chose
to sneeze the way that he sneezed and defend himself against the accusations of the propagandists.
This is character assassination and is more effective than in a dictatorship where the
target would be jailed or killed because it can defended by saying that it is free speech.
Actually it is free speech without responsibility and obligation to the listener to be fair and
factual and with an agenda to promote hatred and fear and destroy the target and gain control
of the country with an oppressive ideology that favors corporations and destroys the free
enterprise system and democracy.

Well Ralph in Everett, with all due respect, I think your assertion that Obama is a "victim" is not supported by the facts. Especially given that Obama has been treated with such deference by the so-called "mainstream" media.ReplyDelete
I can't say for sure that Obama does not share my Christian faith. However, based on the "fruit" I see, I have my doubts as to whether he is a Christian who believes the Bible.
He supports homosexual relationships, practice, and promotion contrary to the Bible's admonitions in both the Old and New Testaments. He supports infanticide in the form of abortion in all trimesters, and opposed a bill protecting infants born during botched abortions. This is in direct violation of God's admonition not to murder (take the life of someone else without due process or in self defense or the defense of the innocent). Obama shuns promotion of the National Day of Prayer, but he embraces Muslim holidays including giving a special celebration for Ramadan.
Obama had the cross covered that would have been in the background while he was speaking at a university (was it Columbia?) See Romans chapter 1 "I am not ashamed of the gospel..." To me he gives evidence, including all these things plus the lack of church attendance, that his Christian "faith" is fruitless at best and a farce at worst.
When you look at the preponderence of the evidence, Obama is a person who does not care about Christianity or its principles, and his attempts to say otherwise are belied by his actions.
Vanessa in Camas
Question: Did Mr. President attend church for show or worship? With all the attention, seems like more show...hope the sermon touched him and the family...The Lord is still in the miracle business.ReplyDelete
Catelin in Grants Pass
Oh and I just viewed that segment where Obama is defending John McCain about not personally spreading the lie that the president is a Muslim when others were talking about 'his Muslim faith'.ReplyDelete
Really? That out of context clip is so easily shown to be a deception that a Christian might as well have just drawn the 'Go to Hell, Directly to Hell, Do not pass Go, Do not collect $200' card from the Monopoly game of life by referencing it as an admission of the president of him being Muslim.
Again,you can't lie your way into heaven and things like that are lies. Talk about picking and choosing what parts of the Bible you want to follow.

Peterborough City Council was named Local Authority Planning Team of the Year at the 2015 Awards for Planning Excellence. The awards are run by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).
Over the last two years Peterborough City Council has delivered a number of innovative and ground-breaking projects, producing solutions to a range of issues.
Cllr Peter Hiller, Cabinet Member for Growth, Planning, Housing and Economic Development, said: "It's a real honour for our planning team to have been named Local Authority Team of the Year by the prestigious Royal Town Planning Institute. This accolade recognises their continued hard work that is helping this city to grow. They have been instrumental in the regeneration of the city centre, as well as setting out the wider plan which will shape Peterborough over the coming decades.
"We are now also working for other local authorities to pass on our expertise and to generate income for the council which helps to support frontline services for residents."
David Potter, Chair of RTPI East of England region said: "It is fantastic that planning in the East of England has received national recognition through this prestigious Award. Planners across the region are working hard, every day to deliver great places for people to work and live."
Roisin Willmott, RTPI Awards Advisor said: "Peterborough has successfully delivered Local Plans, neighbourhood planning support and a range of capital projects in their own council area and in seven other local authority areas over the last few years. What marks the team out is their ability to work in a multi-disciplinary environment across geographical, professional and organisational borders."
Andrew Jones, Practice Leader for Design, Planning + Economics at AECOM said: "AECOM is proud to be this year's headline sponsor of the RTPI's Awards for Planning Excellence. The winners were a diverse mixture of outstanding examples of planning, which really demonstrate the impact the profession has on quality and delivery in the built environment. On behalf of AECOM I would like to extend our congratulations to all of the winners."
The RTPI represents 23,000 planning professionals worldwide and promotes spatial planning, shapes policy and raises professional standards. The Awards for Planning Excellence have been run by the RTPI for over 30 years to recognise planning excellence.
This year's headline sponsor was AECOM with other sponsors and supporters including Quod, Bilfinger GVA, kdh associates, The Planner, Thames Tideway Tunnel, Planning Aid England and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

If you haven't seen the latest news on aptera check it out. There's some good info in it and hope that we will see the aptera coming out in 2010. Fingers crossed as we have a deposit in for one.
This morning I received my first call from Find Toto pet alert service.
Apparently one of my neighbors that I do not know lost his pet dog.
Very interesting use of technology where because of my proximity to Derrick I was called.
Check out the service at
So the rumors continue. Overdrive as expected:
Here's the wrap-up.
1. Stock price for AAPL is at all time high. Will continue to rise. Some target it to $260.
2. Apple has started production on the iPad, iSlate, (whatever the name will be).
3. The announcement will be made in January 2010 in San Francisco, most likely Moscone Convention Center.
4. There was a problem with the glass, being brittle, but that has apparently been addressed. No further details
5. Apple is riding the wave perfectly, as the Kindle, Nook, and other ereaders provide proof that this category is well established and will continue to grow. Apple takes it to the next level.
The question is will the price point Apple releases this new product at be accepted by the market. Some price it at $800. That would be on the high side, but not too much out of line. I would certainly put an order in for one.
The tablet category is expected to boom in 2010, some predict that Apple with a release and timely shipping could sell thousands of these units in the first year.

Deal: Extreme Pinot 6-bottle sampler
The Pinot "Vintage of the Decade"
At first glance, it's hard to understand. The 2007 vintage in northern California had the makings of one of the best in recent memory. The growing season started off warm with an early bud break. But, almost every harvest is defined by the last month of the growing season, and in 2007, that last month was just what the doctor ordered.
The skies stayed blue through September, even well into October. There were no heat spikes, just beautiful, sunny days and crisp, cool evenings. Growers had the luxury of taking their time with the harvest, if they so chose, waiting until maturity was perfect before picking.
Sound like the recipe for the perfect Pinot Noir? It was. Then how is it possible that of all the Pinots we tasted (many of them top-rated wines) on our week long trip to Sonoma in September, only a few combined the richness of the vintage with the explosive aromatic purity of the variety?
There's been a disturbing winemaking trend, one that emphasizes the desperate search for high scores — often at the expense of truly signature wine. The grade grubbing seems to have hit a climax in 2007. In a vintage that should have provided richness and a strong Burgundian backbone, too many of the wines are simple. Sure, the color is dark, but the wines are forward without the backbone that this vintage should have provided.
The exception? A handful of producers making wines from extreme settings, spots where low-yielding vineyards struggle to get grapes ripe. In 2007, the top producers of these small production bottlings took full advantage of both the richness AND vibrancy of the vintage. This collection of three is enough to make the guys in Vougeot wince:
- Drew "Weir Vineyard" Pinot Noir Anderson Valley: Grown in a cool pocket amongst the redwoods of Anderson Valley, just 15 acres situated on a steep (850 feet) southeastern slope;
- Baker Lane "Ramondo" Sonoma Coast: Crafted from just 4 acres planted in the sandy soil at the end of Baker Lane on the Sonoma Coast;
- Dutton Goldfield Pinot Noir Dutton Ranch: From a few hand-selected sites at the coolest extremes of the world-class Dutton Ranch, shrouded in the morning fog of Green Valley.
As for the rest? Many will be highly scored. That's what happens when you taste too many wines in one sitting; the wines that are more alcoholic and more concentrated (maybe a little bit of sugar left in the mix?) jump out. But almost all of these are flat on the finish, making them dull and simple.
So what should you buy? If you want dark fruit and don't care about complexity, this is a vintage that will delight you. But, if you want world-class Pinot in what truly is a world-class vintage, go EXTREME.
|Tasting Notes
2007 Drew Wines Pinot Noir Weir Vineyard Yorkville Highlands
"Pure, vivid wild berry and blackberry fruit is both supple and tightly focused. Medium-bodied, long and persistent on the finish, where this picks up a pleasant spicy, earthy edge. Drink now through 2013. 206 cases made."
92 points–Wine Spectator
|2007 Baker Lane Vineyards Pinot Noir Ramondo Vineyard Sonoma Coast
"Bright medium red. Spicy redcurrant and strawberry on the nose, with sexy floral and mineral qualities adding complexity. Musky cherry and red berry flavors are given spine by juicy acidity and fine-grained tannins, which add back-end grip. Stretches out with air, becoming broader and sweeter on the long, sappy finish."
91 points–Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
|2007 Dutton-Goldfield Pinot Noir Dutton Ranch Russian River Valley
"Bright, medium cherry-red. Vibrant aromas of black cherry, raspberry, rose petal and orange zest; a real essence of pinot noir in a Chambolle way. Then juicy, silky and brisk, with red fruit, orange peel and spice flavors framed by ripe, harmonious acidity. There's no oakiness to get in the way of the pure, sharply focused fruit of this very suave and high-pitched pinot."

Rumor is that Google will be releasing the "Nexus One" which will use GSM and come with a 3.7″ AMOLED touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi connectivity, accelerometer and compass. The Nexus One will run on Google's latest version of the Android operating system, Android 2.1.
HTC-designed Nexus One, is likely to debut next week at the Jan 5, 2009 Google Campus Press Conference. At the same time CES launches.
This is the text from the invite only event:

I love this Doctor!
Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life… Is this true?
A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it…don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiency. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So steak is nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And pork chop can give you 100% of recommended daily allowance of vegetable product.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Bottom up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No pain…good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food are fried these day in vegetable oil. In fact, they permeated by it. How could getting more vegetable be bad for you?!?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming good for your figure, explain whale to me..
Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' a shape!
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.
And remember: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways – Chardonnay in one hand – chocolate in the other – body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!" AND…..
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

The basement will house a linear accelerator requiring very thick walls and slabs to hermetically seal the accelerator room and keep the radiation inside. Cramped inner-city conditions and working on slopes made the task a real challenge.
What is Barite concrete?
That's a concrete mixture with barite as a heavy additive with a raw density of 4,000 to 4,300 kg/ m³. It is often used in buildings that house X-ray plants and for radiation protection in medicine and research. To optimise the protective function of such buildings, the concrete is poured in exceptionally thick walls and slabs.
Walls and slabs up to 1,90 m thick
The room housing the linear accelerator has walls that are 3,79 m high and between 1,50 m and 1,65 m thick. The slabs are up to 1,90 m thick. The viscous barite concrete required the use of a special pump. The ties were left in the pour and the openings sealed to ensure a hermetically sealed result. The slabs were formed using MevaFlex formwork with H20 beams supported by ME 350 props to carry the heavy loads.
Mammut 350 and support Frame STB 450
Walls and foundations were poured using the strongest available wall formwork – the Mammut 350 with a load capacity of 100 kN/m². It allows a free pour rate up to a height of 4 m. Single-sided wall formwork was supported by frame STB 450 to a height of 4,50 m. With its base width of only 2,45 m, the support frame was Slim enough for the cramped conditions.

Joey Barton may not agree but Newcastle fans have plenty of reasons to be excited about the player once dubbed 'the new Maldini'…
While the Geordie nation have been left dissapointed by their club's low key approach to the transfer window, the Ashley regime have secured some talented players from europe, not least Italian international Davide Santon.
The 20-year-old joined from Inter Milan, where he made 40 appearances in three years, and signed a five-year-contract on Tyneside.
Santon has already earned seven caps for his country and was considered to be the best young fullback in World Football before he lost his place in the Inter side under Jose Mourinho.
Aged just 18 he had broke into Inter's team, making his European debut against Manchester United and earned praise from Cristiano Ronaldo after his defensive performance had kept the Portuguese superstar quiet: "I was impressed by Santon, he is a really interesting lad and a great footballer," explained Ronaldo.
Even greater praise was afforded by then Italy coach Marcelo Lippi who described Santon as the new Maldini.
Lippi said: He (Santon) is a predestined that reminds of a young Paolo Maldini."
After a run in the Inter team that won the Scudetto in the 2008-09 season Santon fell victim of Jose Mourinho's more pragmatic approach and Christian Chivu became the club's first choice left-back.
He and Mario Balotelli had both fallen out of favor with Mourinho, who said: "Santon and Balotelli represent Inter's future. Right now, they don't have the mental qualities to become champions."
Santon was not forgotten however and still made 24 appearances for Inter before joining Cesena on loan in January 2011. The youngster was part of the deal that saw Yugo Nagatomo join the European Champions from Cesena.
The spell showcased Santon's talents but was a step backwards after his exploits at the San Siro. It seemed as if the huge spotlight on Santon was curtailing his development and the comparison with Maldini was probably unfair on a player who at the time was barely 18.
Now a £5.3million move to Newcastle will hopefully reignite the Italian's career. He undoubtedly has the talent but does he have the temperament? While he has taken a step away from the Italian limelight, this will be no easy task.
The Premier League is fast and furious while Newcastle is considered one of the most passionate and intense places to play football in the country. But there was no better way than to introduce himself to the Geordie faithful than confirming he had never seen a Mackem in Milan.

Coney Island, New York USA
I had the honor to be part of a dream project by Adobe, the brand who developed the software who made my career possible.
The project is called Make It, and the talented guys from Vault 49 collected assets from
four amazing neighbourhoods in New York city to kick it off.
My brief was to make a piece based on the library made at Coney Island. A legendary colorful place with a very nice retro/old school vibe. I was inclined to do an abstract-only piece, but I figured it would be way more interesting to include a little bit of typography into it. Why? Because of all the neon signs, the kick-ass, retro food-truck kind of logo's
and the old school lettering on the attractions.
I have to admit that it was a big challenge for me to work with someone else's color palettes and textures, so it was a nice
"out-of-the-comfort-zone" challenge. Can't wait to see the end result on a billboard.
Be sure to check out the interview Adobe had with me right HERE
In-process steps in my piece.

Secrets of Successful Writers
This writing manual contains only essential information for writing marketable fiction. No padding. No fluff—just easy-to-apply rules, tips, examples and exercises.
Amazon Reviewer
I have recommended Othello's writing book to all my high school and college students for the last ten years… It is also applicable to film students and screenwriters. I have written three movies for Mel Brooks and am a two-time Emmy nominated writer/producer, and I believe this is the best educational writing book on the market. Steve Haberman, Columbia University/USC Professor
How to Write a Great Story
This concise handbook answers questions regarding: Characterization , Plotting, Dialogue, Action, Transitions, and includes examples and writing assignments on each topic
Amazon Reviewer
Ms. Bach has accomplished the near impossible in crystallizing the writer's craft onto a pin-head in this little jewel of a book. I've read close to fifty books on writing over the years, and I have yet to find one that so clearly, plainly, and most of all understandably, outlines what the craft consist of.
How to Write a Great Story – Teacher's Guide
This manual precisely follows the text of How to Write a Great Story and offers follow-up questions and assignments pertaining to the various topics.
Amazon Reviewer
"How to Write a Great Story" serves as an excellent resource for any teacher who is willing to guide aspiring young minds to think and write. Ms Bach shows keen understanding of tender, budding communicators. "How to Write a Great Story" displays solid examples needed in order to write as an extension of thinking. In my forty-two years as a public school teacher of language arts in grades 7and 8, I have seen very few books such as Ms Bach's. She encourages a teacher to encourage young minds to value something that we hold dear over the rest of God's creation: the power of meaningful and effective communication. Bravo, Othello! Gordon D. Orr

Tom Clancy, bestselling author of the Jack Ryan series of novels, which include The Hunt for Red October and Clear and Present Danger, has died. Clancy passed away October 1 in a Baltimore, Maryland hospital at the age of 66. The cause of death was not immediately available, and only reported as a "long illness."
Clancy's publisher, Penguin Group, confirmed the author's passing, with executive David Shanks releasing this statement:
"I'm deeply saddened by Tom's passing. He was a consummate author, creating the modern-day thriller, and was one of the most visionary storytellers of our time. I will miss him dearly and he will be missed by tens of millions of readers worldwide."
Clancy became famous with his very first novel, The Hunt for Red October, which was published in 1984 and introduced the world to deeply patriotic CIA analyst Jack Ryan, who would become an iconic character both on the page and on the big screen. Clancy's books were known for their extremely detailed and technical descriptions of military operations and post-Cold War settings. In 1989, the novel Clear and Present Danger sold 1,625,544 hardcover copies and is the top-selling novel of the entire 1980's.
Tom Clancy co-founded the video game development company Red Storm Entertainment in 1996, which was later bought by Ubisoft Entertainment. Clancy lent his name to several successful, military operation-themed video game series, including Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon. He was also a part owner of the Baltimore Orioles.
Thomas Leo "Tom" Clancy, Jr. was born in Baltimore on April 12, 1947. Clancy attended Catholic college prep school Loyola Blakefield, graduating in 1965 before attending Loyola College in Baltimore. He married his wife Wanda in 1969, and the two separated in 1995 before a divorce was finalized in 1999. Before becoming an author, Clancy worked as an insurance salesman and helped run an insurance company.
Clancy's legacy will forever be tied to his Jack Ryan novels, which were adapted into successful films with first Alec Baldwin in the role (in The Hunt for Red October), before Harrison Ford took over, portraying Ryan in blockbusters Patriot Games (the novel is technically a prequel to Red October) and Clear and Present Danger. Ben Affleck was cast as a younger Ryan in The Sum of All Fears, which was presented as a reboot to the film series but never caught on. Paramount is trying the tactic again, with Star Trek Into Darkness star Chris Pine taking the role in the upcoming Jack Ryan, directed by Kenneth Branagh. Some of his video game properties - namely Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon - are currently being adapted into feature films, as well.
Clancy published 28 books in his lifetime, including several non-fiction books on the military, and gained a strong and devoted following, notably among the armed forces. He was a lifelong conservative Republican, and not afraid to take controversial views, such as criticizing left-leaning politicians for "gutting" the CIA and thus being partially responsible for the terrorist attacks on 9/11.
Still, his loyal following among the military gave him amazing access to research and sources within the defense community, and, in turn, he was ever-loyal to them, telling CNN in 2003:
"I'll never decide for commercial reasons to put something in that endangers our national security. You just can't do that. There was one thing, I discussed with a friend of mine in the Royal Navy. I told him a story I knew, and he said, 'Well, Tom, you may never repeat that, as long as you live.' And I haven't."
Clancy's was a distinct literary voice, and while the term "techno-thriller" was practically invented for his books, he rejected that label, saying first and foremost: "I write novels."
Screen Rant would like to express our deepest condolences to Tom Clancy's family and friends. He is survived by four children from his first marriage as well as his wife Alexandra Marie Llewellyn, whom he married in 1999.
R.I.P. Tom Clancy: April 12th, 1947 - October 1, 2013.

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's governing Socialists won approval for a 15 billion euro ($18.4 billion) austerity package by a single vote on Thursday, but the narrowness of the victory raised doubts over the government's ability to steer the country through an economic crisis.
The razor-thin majority piled pressure on Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who has been forced to ditch his party's traditional alliances in pushing through spending cuts and labor reforms as markets fret Spain could suffer a similar crisis to Greece but on a larger scale.
The prime minister called off a scheduled trip to Brazil on Thursday, as an end-May deadline loomed for an agreement with unions and business on wide-ranging labor reforms — a key policy demand by international markets.
Unions met Thursday and warned that they would call a general strike if the government goes ahead with changes to labor market rules without their consent, saying there were still big differences with business on the reform.
They said agreement may not come before the end-May deadline set by the government. A regular Europe-wide meeting of unions is scheduled to take place in Brussels on June 1.
"The government can set whatever deadlines it wants, we work at our own pace," the head of the CCOO union, Ignacio Fernandez Toxo, told journalists.
With the opposition Popular Party voting against the austerity bill, it was only saved when 10 deputies from center-right Catalan nationalists CiU abstained.
CiU parliamentary leader Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida told parliament he did not want to plunge Spain into an immediate Greek-style crisis by blocking the austerity measures but that Zapatero should call early elections next year.
"The problem is you and your government," Duran i Lleida told Zapatero, adding that his party would vote against the 2011 budget bill toward the end of the year.
Defeat for the budget would make it much more difficult for Zapatero, lagging the Popular Party in opinion polls, to stay in power.
"What is clear is the level of political instability, with parties asking for elections to be brought forward," said Javier Barrio analyst at BPI.
The austerity bill was approved by 169 votes to 168, as the Popular Party even made sure one of its deputies was brought to the session in an ambulance.
"This law is improvised, insufficient and unjust," PP leader Mariano Rajoy told parliament.
The PP, which has previously called for cuts in taxation, says the austerity package was made up on the hoof.
The cuts are a key plank in the Socialist government's efforts to cut the large budget deficit and restore confidence in Spain's ailing economy, which has barely edged out of recession after two years. It has the euro zone's highest jobless rate, at 20 percent.
The government's plan aims to save an additional 15 billion euros and includes wage cuts of 5 percent for civil servants this year. It aims to cut the budget deficit to 9.3 percent of gross domestic product this year and to 6 percent in 2011. It stood at 11.2 percent last year.
But the austerity bill's approval, while a relief, will not fully reassure markets, said Dirk Schnitker, international equity analyst at CM Capital Markets Bolsa.
"It is a potentially massive pitfall avoided but it still leaves us with all the other known problems in Europe and Spain," he said.
History professor Charles Powell of CEU San Pablo University said it was unlikely Zapatero would be ejected before the end of the year, pointing out that no Spanish government had been forced out of office since the start of democracy in 1978.
But he highlighted the extraordinary strain faced by Zapatero as he deals with international pressure to bring Spain's yawning budget deficit under control while pacifying unions and minority parties at home.
United States President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have both spoken personally to Zapatero and pressed him to implement reforms. Spain's economy is more than three times the size of Greece's and a deeper crisis there could have grave consequences for the euro zone and beyond.
The government must call elections by May 2012, but most commentators expect general elections in 2011.
A return to economic growth and a sustainable reduction of Spain's massive public deficit will be impossible without profound structural reforms to an economy that expanded too quickly due to a property boom and cheap credit.
The government has given tripartite talks with unions and business leaders until the end of May to agree on long-awaited reforms to the structure of the labor market.
While the unions said they may not meet the government's deadline, they stressed that they want to continue talking even though there were still big differences between their position and that of business.
"There is still a big difference between the positions of business leaders and unions at the negotiating table," Toxo said.
Analysts see the shaking up of the country's inflexible labor laws and the easing of hiring and firing as vital to restoring the country's competitiveness.
"The labor reforms are crucial. They will help to restore growth in the long term. Growth is the only way out of these adverse fiscal trends," said Luigi Speranza, analyst at BNP Paribas.

Anita Loos, considered by some to be a writing prodigy as a child, was one of the most prolific writers in Hollywood during the early years of the film industry. She wrote over 100 scripts in four years (1912-1915), and only four were not made into movies.
Loos was a teenage actor when she saw a film and decided she could write a better one. She spent a morning writing a scenario then sent it off to the American Biograph Company—an address she found on a film canister. Two weeks later she received an acceptance letter and her writing career began.
D. W. Griffith directed the resulting film, The New York Hat (1912), and she worked regularly for Biograph until 1916, during which time she wrote over 100 scenarios and the accompanying title cards. Known for her wit, in 1916 when she wrote the film adaptation of MacBeth, the credits read "by William Shakespeare and Anita Loos". She is credited with being the first person to use verbal humor on title cards.
Loos is perhaps best remembered as the author of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1928), which was made into two films and spawned a se-quel-of-sorts in Gentlemen Marry Brunettes (1955). In 1926 she also wrote the play The Whole Town's Talking, which she later adapted as a film for the screen, titled The Ex-Bad Boy (1931).
In addition to her work writing plays and scripts, Loos wrote several books on her life and career, including A Girl Like7(1966), Kiss Hollywood Good-Bye (1974), and Cast of Thousands (1977). She also wrote two books about working in Hollywood, titled How to Write Photoplays (1920) and Breaking Into the Movies (1921). Although she supposedly wrote the books in collaboration with her (then) husband John Emerson, later it was discovered that he often made her put his name to works that he did no actual work on.
Although she was an independent woman earning her own way in a "man's world," Loos never aligned with the feminist movement. Her writing, while amusing and satirical, never placed women in roles that were not socially acceptable. Whether she actually believed that women should be subservient to men is not clear, but controlling men populated her personal life.
Less remembered is the fact that Loos produced several films in the last years of the 1910s. Her first production effort was Come On In (1918), a film that she also wrote. In the next two years she produced five other films and then, inexplicably, returned to screen-writing.

I posted something about a year ago, that I have lots of wishes and lots of obstacles, since then I have moved a bit forward. Now my ideas have a place to be presented: http://lostideaslab.com/
I publish my thoughts regarding some matters on a Journal on the website: http://lostideaslab.com/journal/
But I can't get any viewer. I know these ideas are good and I even started a blog, sharing my daily life, so it might make a connection with people: http://lostideaslab.com/blog/ but still nothing happened.
I am looking for someone who can help me get a bit of publication regarding this ideas and publications because I am simply awful at social networking and things like this. If you would scale people from 0 to 10, my grade would be -100!
Currently, I am not able to pay any fee to someone, so I wish to find someone who will be interested in some of these ideas and who will also be interested in being a part-time publicist.
The best thing I ever tried was to share the link of one of my poems on StumbleUpon and the site hit something like 300 visitors for three days in a row but it did never happen again! So I don't think, I am going to be liked by everyone but I think there is a minority who might be interested in such things - here is that poem: http://lostideaslab.com/poems/homeless/
I am trying to get a book being published and I will be interested if someone could help out and get this book to those who might need or enjoy it, to share a percentage of the sells but currently I am myself out of money —more or less, and I can't pay someone in advance.
Could you help me finding such person?
[thanks for taking time and reading this though]

About the event
This conference, held in Leeds on 11 March 2016, will offer a unique opportunity for those attending to:
- Reflect on the lessons learned from Rotherham
- Hear from those with direct knowledge of practice responses to CSE in the town
- Find out about some of the models of good practice that have developed since across the UK, as well as identifying some of the areas still requiring consideration
- Hear from survivors and their families, and how they have contributed to the development of policy and procedures across the UK
Coming of the Darkness is the concept of Adele Gladman and Jayne Senior, who worked with issues of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham
Jayne was the manager of the specialist CSE service, the Risky Business Project in Rotherham for 12 years and is currently the Chief Executive of Swinton Lock. She has contributed to several inquiries and investigations into Rotherham and continues to work closely with those affected by issues of CSE
Adele worked on a Home Office funded research and development pilot working with issues of CSE and practice responses in Rotherham 2000-2002. Now an independent safeguarding children consultant, she works across the UK delivering a range of services including training for practitioners; independent inspections, audits and reports; and undertaking reviews using the Child Practice Review model
Adele and Jayne have spent many years trying to influence practice responses to CSE. After contributing to several inquiries and investigations, both wanted to host an event that brought together some of the key players in identifying and raising awareness of the issues in Rotherham. The speakers on this event reflect a range of expertise, which will enable those attending to reflect on the mistakes of the past, but to look at the positive work and practice development that has taken place since the publication of the Jay report of 2014
Adele and Jayne are pleased to have such a calibre of confirmed speakers, most with personal experience of practice in Rotherham. They feel privileged to also have involvement and contributions from a group of survivors and family members of victims of CSE in Rotherham
The conference will be held on 11 March 2016 in Leeds
Early bird offer until 31 January 2016 and reduced rate for voluntary and charitable organisations

Derbyshire took three wickets in quick succession as they pressed for victory in the LV= County Championship Division Two game against Gloucestershire at Bristol.
Faced with a first-innings deficit of 270 after Derbyshire declared on 545-9 in the morning, Gloucestershire looked to be battling back as Will Tavare and Gareth Roderick put together a second-wicket stand of 115 in 32 overs.
However, Tony Palladino had Tavare lbw for 45 and then accounted for Australian Peter Handscomb, caught behind off a defensive edge, for 14.
Roderick, having scored his fourth half-century in four County Championship innings this season, was dismissed for 75 just before tea when he played on while attempting to pull a delivery from Tom Taylor.
At tea, Gloucestershire were on 156 for four from 51 overs, with Hamish Marshall on six and Geraint Jones on four.

Pushbutton Switch
This circuit acts like a two-position switch but is operated using a pushbutton. After power has been applied, the circuit is in the following initial state: the bases of T1 and T2 are at the positive supply potential and the base of T3 is at ground potential. All transistors are cut off. The other contact of the pushbutton is at ground potential. No current flows through the relay coil and the status LED is off.If the pushbutton is pressed, T2 and (after a slight delay due the RC network) T3 switch on. The collector of T3 is now nearly at ground potential, so current flows through the relay coil and the function LED is illuminated. T1 can also switch on.

Cisco Could Eliminate as Many as 10,000 Jobs
SAN FRANCISCO -- Networking equipment company Cisco Systems Inc. could eliminate as many as 10,000 jobs, or about 14 percent of its workforce, to revive profit growth, Bloomberg said, citing two people familiar with the matter.
As many as 7,000 jobs would be eliminated by the end of August, the sources said. Cisco is also providing early-retirement packages to about 3,000 workers who took buyouts, according to Bloomberg.
Early on Monday, Reuters reported that Cisco may slash about 5,000 jobs to meet Chief Executive John Chambers' goal of slashing costs by $1 billion. Reuters had cited Gleacher & Co. analyst Brian Marshall.
"As we announced on our Q3 earnings call, Cisco will take out $1 billion in costs from our FY 12 expense run-rate as part of our efforts to streamline company operations, including a planned reduction in workforce. We will provide additional detail on the cost reductions, including layoffs, on our next earnings call on Aug. 11," Cisco spokeswoman Karen Tillman told Reuters.
Cisco shares closed down about 2 percent at $15.43, in a market that was broadly lower due to concerns about the U.S. budget talks and the euro-zone debt crisis.
Revenue Growth Under Pressure?
Chambers, who is set to speak at a company event in Las Vegas on Tuesday, is working to turn around the Silicon Valley bellwether. He has said the company's next fiscal year starting in August would not live up to the company's previous growth expectations.
Marshall's estimate for job cuts at Cisco is higher than the previous forecasts of up to 4,000 jobs that are in danger of being eliminated.
The pending job cuts "will help right the ship" and achieve a reduction in operating expenses by about $1 billion annually, Marshall said in a note to clients.
Cisco would also need to lower its long-term revenue growth target to about 10 percent from a forecast of 12 percent to 17 percent, Marshall said.
Cisco's revenue has increased 11 percent over the past five calendar years.
Cisco warned in May that it planned to trim its workforce as part of a plan to cut some $1 billion in costs from its annual budget but did not disclose how many jobs would be cut.
Cisco's previous record layoffs came in 2001, when the company shed some 8,000 jobs, Marshall said.
