Some Ryan Braun fans say it's getting harder to believe him
Brewers left-fielder's name found in records of clinic being investigated
Fans are reserving judgment in Ryan Braun's latest brush with performance-enhancing drugs.
The star left-fielder's name turned up in the records of a Florida clinic being investigated on charges of selling drugs to athletes.
Many Brewers fans said they are standing by their star, but they're forced to admit it's getting a bit more difficult to do so.
Braun spent last season trying to get fans to forget the failed performance enhancing drug controversy.
"I truly believe in my heart, and I would bet my life, that this substance never entered my body at any point," Braun said last February.
His name has surfaced in a Yahoo Sports report with other players on the ledger of the Biogenesis Clinic, which is accused of selling performance-enhancing drugs.
"Once is kind of easy to forget. Twice, it's getting a little on the border," Brewers fan Mike Lisiecki said.
Some fans said it's getting harder to give Braun the benefit of the doubt.
"Let it all unravel. See what happens. I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon one way or another. I'm a big Brewer fan and Braun fan, so hopefully the allegations are false," Lisiecki said.
"People's integrity and character, it's tough, once you lose it, and where there's smoke there's fire tends to be the case, right? I mean, Lance Armstrong got away with it for how many years and fooled the entire public, so it's tough, people are skeptical," Brewers fan Mark Doles said.
Braun said his name is only in the records because his legal team consulted with the clinic as part of his defense.
"It seems like we just got done with the Hall of Fame ballots, and now we've got this again, the story that won't go away," ESPN 540 host Drew Olson said.
Olson spent much of the day taking calls from conflicted fans.
"People now are as skeptical as ever, and I don't know if that's a good thing, or not, it just seems like it's complicated being a fan," Olson said. "It's definitely bad for Braun. His explanation is definitely plausible, but I'm not sure if people are going to buy it. It could take some people who've been in his camp and move them to the anti-Braun camp."
The reporter who broke the story for Yahoo Sports was a guest on Olson's radio show Wednesday and said he expects Major League Baseball to aggressively investigate the clinic and the players linked to it.

Okay guys, here is another character from the manga series Shiki. She is considered a main figure from the manga, and she is also just thirteen. Here is "how to draw Sunako", step by step. Sunako is a mysterious girl from the series. Her and her family moved to a place called the 'Kanemasa mansion' which is located at the top of a huge hill in Sotoba. Sunako is confined to her house because of the fact that she is a Shiki, but everyone else is told that she has a rare disorder called SLE. Aside from being "sick", she enjoys her time while she's in the house reading books from her favorite author Senishin Muroi. I mean after all, he is the whole reason why Sunako and her family moved to Sotoba in the first place. For those of you that read the manga you should know what Sunako really is, a monster that feeds off of humans. This lesson will be fun because drawing Shiki characters are interesting subjects to replicate. I will be back soon with more drawing fun.

Patch 4.5 - Itemization Changes
Hey folks, we have a bunch of itemization changes slated for the 4.5 patch I want to get out in the open and get some thoughts/feedback on. The individual changes for the most part are fairly minor and not super crazy but it's a LARGE list, you've been warned. One of the primary problems is that many of the mid-tier component items for AP items make sense only when you have a good consistent Ability Power base - such as triple ring or something. This was exacerbated in Season 4 when we stripped out a lot of the small mid-tier component items (that ranged from 800 to 900 Gold). We want to take a couple of preliminary steps to introduce some new components that might form a solid basis for future items as well as ensure that players that go down a Utility / Support route start feeling more complete earlier. **Ability Power / Movement Speed** **(NEW) Aether Wisp** * **Recipe**: Amplifying Tome + 365 Gold = 800 Total Gold * 30 Ability Power * UNIQUE Passive: +5% Movement Speed This item seemed a very logical component piece for the two current AP & MS items (LB and TS) as well as a good building block for future items. {{item:3100}} ** Lich Bane ** * **Recipe**: Sheen + Aether Wisp (NEW) + 1000 Gold = 3000 Total Gold * **Total Cost**: Unchanged * **Stats**: Unchanged * **Passive**: Unchanged {{item:3023}} ** Twin Shadows (Summoner's Rift) ** * **Recipe**: Aether Wisp (NEW) + Fiendish Codex + 780 Gold = 2400 Total Gold * **Ability Power**: 50 --> 80 * **Magic Resistance**: 40 --> 0 * **Cooldown Reduction**: 0 --> 10% CDR * **Movement Speed**: Unchanged * **Additional Active Effect**: If the ghosts **fail** to find a target after 5 seconds, they attempt to return to the caster. Each ghost that **successfully** returns to the caster reduces the cooldown of this item by 40 seconds. We've retuned Twin Shadows to more emphasis the scouting portion of the item rather than the tank / initiation portion of the item. The new active effect allows the item to be used at a much lower cooldown cost for scouting purposes. The smoother buildpath compared to live should allow supports who pick up Twin Shadows to make progressive AP gains as they build towards the final item. ** Mana Regeneration and Cooldown Reduction ** **(NEW) Forbidden Idol** (Icon is currently placeholder) * **Recipe**: Faerie Charm + Faerie Charm + 390 Gold = 750 Gold Total * +8 Mana Regen per 5 seconds * **UNIQUE Passive**: +10% Cooldown Reduction {{item:3165}} **Morellonomnomnomicon** * **Recipe**: Fiendish Codex + Forbidden Idol (NEW) + 630 Gold = 2200 Gold Total * **Total Cost**: Unchanged * **Stats**: Unchanged * **Passive**: Unchanged Nothing to see here besides the recipe change. The removal of Kage's in S4 made this recipe a bit weird so we're cleaning it up a bit. {{item:3069}} **Talisman of Ascension** * **Recipe**: Nomad's Medallion + Forbidden Idol (NEW) + 585 Gold = 2200 Gold Total * **Total Cost**: 2000 --> 2200 * **Mana Regeneration Per 5**: 10 --> 15 * **Other Stats**: Unchanged It's always been weird that Talisman of Ascension has 20% CDR pop out of nowhere. So we're retrofitting Talisman of Ascension to build out of the Forbidden Idol. That said, this does still mean that Talisman of Ascension will have the most mana regeneration of the Income items again. {{item:3092}} **Frost Queen's Claim** * **Recipe Cost**: 315 --> 515 * **Total Cost**: 2000 --> 2200 * **Ability Power**: 40 --> 50 {{item:3401}} **Face of the Mountain** * **Recipe Cost**: 185 --> 385 * **Total Cost**: 2000 --> 2200 * **Health Regeneration per 5**: 25 --> 20 * **Health**: 375 --> 500 On the whole this is pretty much a neutral change to Frost Queen's Claim and a very slight buff to Face of the Mountain but the main purpose of these tweaks is to ensure that all the Tier 3 Duo lane items had the same gold cost and thus roughly the same gold efficiency end game. {{item:3152}} **Will of the Ancients** * **Recipe**: Hextech Revolver + Fiendish Codex + 480 Gold = 2500 Total Gold * **Ability Power**: 50 --> 80 * **Mana Regeneration per 5**: 10 --> 0 * **Cooldown Reduction**: Unchanged * **Passive**: Unchanged Xypherous has some crazy conspiracy theories behind this change, but I think it is difficult to adjust and cleanup item recipes without addressing Wota. The Mana Regen was always attached to allow mages who wanted to invest in spellvamp, but was still primarily picked up by resourceless casters. We've retuned the item with those characters in mind. This might be a bit crazy in testing but we can adjust the items balance pretty easily and part of the reason we wanted to get this out earlier. {{item:3105}} **Aegis of the Legion** * **Recipe**: Negatron Cloak + Ruby Crystal + Rejuvenation Bead + 600 Gold = 1900 Gold * **Health**: Unchanged * **Armor**: 20 --> 0 * **Magic Resistance**: 0 --> 20 *(40 Magic Resistance total due to the 20 from Aura)* * **Aura**: Unchanged {{item:3190}} **Locket of the Iron Solari** * **Recipe**: Kindlegem + Aegis of the Legion + 50 Gold = 2800 Gold * **Health**: 300 --> 400 * **Armor**: 20 --> 0 * **Magic Resistanace**: 0 --> 20 *(40 Magic Resistance total due to the 20 from Aura)* * **Cooldown Reduction**: Unchanged * **Aura - Legion**: Unchanged * **Active**: Unchanged The recipe for Aegis of the Legion has always been a little weird after the removal of Emblem of Valor. The more we prodded at the item, the more the item's triple resistance nature (Health/Armor/MR) seemed to not align with our overall goals and direction of the item system. We want the item to do a better job at it's intended function - defending against heavy amounts of magic damage and be slightly less universal. The stat lineup on Locket seemed like a logical choice for players who wanted to pick up an early {{item:3067}} and rounded out the recipe nicely. {{item:3024}} **Glacial Shroud** * **Recipe**: Cloth Armor + Sapphire Crystal + 250 Gold = 950 Gold Total * **Armor**: 45 --> 20 * **Mana**: 300 --> 250 * **Cooldown Reduction**: Unchanged {{item:3025}} **Iceborn Gauntlet** * **Combine Cost**: 1100 --> 750 * **Total Cost**: 3300 --> 2900 *(Due to Glacial Shroud)* * **Ability Power**: Unchanged * **Mana**: Unchanged * **Armor**: 70 --> 60 * **Cooldown Reduction**: Unchanged * **Passive**: Unchanged {{item:3110}} **Frozen Heart** * **Combine Cost**: 550 --> 650 * **Total Cost**: 2900 --> 2600 *(Due to Glacial Shroud)* * **Armor**: 95 --> 100 * **Mana & Cooldown Reduction**: Unchanged * **Aura Attack Speed Reduction**: -20% --> -15% We wanted to retune Glacial shroud to be an easier pickup for people in lane and the 950 gold cost made it a much easier early game pickup than the previous 1350 cost. The price point also didn't seem to match the expectations and impact of the item. The changes to IBG and FH are overall small buffs to the items which are a bit on the weak side. The easier buildup combined with the lower pricepoint should put both these items in a better spot overall. {{item:3082}} **Warden's Mail** * **Recipe**: Chain Vest + 280 Gold * **Combine Cost**: 400 --> 280 * **Total Cost**: Unchanged With the change to Glacial Shroud we wanted to be sure that Chain Vest was an available pickup for folks who wanted to really heavily in armor in either Randuin's or Frozen Heart These should be popping up on the PBE soon and I'll be around a bit later tonight to grab feedback and answer questions.

Life in the 17th century royal courts was a highly regimented affair. The ruling class had a lot of rules to play by! No, not a free and easy existence.
Here's a snippet from the memoirs of Saint-Simon about the marriage night of Phillip V of Spain, Louis XIV's grandson. He left France to take the Spanish throne, precipitating the lengthy Wars of the Spanish Succession – Blenheim being a glorious victory for Louis' opponents, led by Winston Churchill's ancestor – and searched about for a bride. He was about 18 – he found a suitable Savoyard duchess. She was 13. I have added some italics.
After a long and disagreeable supper, the King and Queen withdrew. Then feelings which had been kept in during supper overflowed. The Queen wept for her Piedmontese women. Like a child, as she was, she thought herself lost in the hands of ladies so insolent; and when it was time to go to bed, she said flatly that she would not go, and that she wished to return home. Everything was done to console her; but the astonishment and embarrassment were great indeed when it was found that all was of no avail. The King had undressed, and was awaiting her. Madame des Ursins was at length obliged to go and tell him the resolution the Queen had taken. He was piqued and annoyed. He had until that time lived with the completest regularity; which had contributed to make him find the Princess more to his taste than he might otherwise have done. He was therefore affected by her 'fantaisie', and by the same reason easily persuaded that she would not keep to it beyond the first night. They did not see each other therefore until the morrow, and after they were dressed. It was lucky that by the Spanish custom no one was permitted to be present when the newly-married pair went to bed; or this affair, which went no further than the young couple, Madame des Ursins, and one or two domestics, might have made a very unpleasant noise. [Unlike the French custom, which was to have witnesses present in the room as the newlyweds 'enjoyed' their first sexual intimacy, and the consummation of their marriage. After all, the father of the heir must not be in doubt!]
Madame des Ursins consulted with two of the courtiers, as to the best measures to be adopted with a child who showed so much force and resolution. The night was passed in exhortations and in promises upon what had occurred at the supper; and the Queen consented at last to remain Queen. The Duke of Medina-Sidonia and Count San Estevan were consulted on the morrow. They were of opinion that in his turn the King, in order to mortify her and reduce her to terms, should not visit the Queen on the following night. This opinion was acted upon. The King and Queen did not see each other in private that day. In the evening the Queen was very sorry. Her pride and her little vanity were wounded; perhaps also she had found the King to her taste.
The ladies and the grand seigneurs who had attended at the supper were lectured for what had occurred there. Excuses, promises, demands for pardon, followed; all was put right; the third day was tranquil, and the third night still more agreeable to the young people. On the fourth day they went to Barcelona, where only fetes and pleasures awaited them. Soon after they set out for Madrid.

With the week's various Homecoming contests beginning to wind down, two of the 10 teams began separating themselves from the pack on Thursday afternoon.
After the day's Team Games activity – a scavenger hunt – the Forensic Phi Delts had a lead with 150 points. Team Pi Kappa Gamma, which won Thursday's scavenger hunt, was second overall with 110. Many of the other eight teams remain within striking distance in the Homecoming week standings.
Thursday's scavenger hunt involved teams searching for clues in various locations. The final destination was garbage bags, in which there were numerous parts of a plastic skeleton scattered about. Blind-folded team members had to find all the pieces of the skeletons, at which point their teammates assembled them.
A handful of competitions remain, including a lip sync contest at the pep rally, the king and queen coronation and the "CSI Photo" competition – which involves each team taking 14 different themed pictures and sending them in for judging.
More photos can be seen on our Facebook page.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I just watched the trailer. The game looks interesting. I'll give it a try when it comes out.
RPO and Pathfinder Online are bringing sandbox goodness. The wait will be interminable though.
Survivor of the great MMORPG Famine of 2011
The Kickstarter campain has hit the first stretch goal with only a couple of days left. If we can get it up to $40k, we'll get defensive turrets that you can actually mount and shoot from. How awesome would that be?
Personally, i prefer NGE to pre-cu any day, but i think TRP is THE next sandbox to look forward to and i too decided to back it.
Impressive to see they've made over $40k with Kickstarter. If anything, I hope that draws in a few larger investors.
I like what they've done so far. First, they're creating a sandbox (even if they're calling it a hybrid), and secondly, they're using a sci-fi theme. We need another fantasy themepark in this market like a hole in the head.
this might be good till archeage and world of darkness comes out
Tbh unless I see it I won't believe that it is good and that it won't be next DFO, MO or Xsylon pulled on me.
Undefiananced, understaffed, underdeveloped project that tried to overachiveve by making this big ambitious feature-rich game?
Besies don't they have some sort of freemium business model?
Kinda insta-no and deafeat the purpose for sandbox - at least for me.
I could make it work, I'll just reform ORS and we will all RP that we are on Endor.
SWG vet here. I have 50 bucks to burn, but first answer me this:
In what direct manner is this game similar to pre-cu SWG? Please hit me with side-by-side comparisons.
I miss the good ol' days when nerds were actually intelligent.
whooh, there are a lot.
-Skill based progressions
-player housing
-player furniture
-player buildings
-Big open zones
-sci-fi theme
-complex crafting and resource gathering that relies on quality of mats for end result
-Space coming sometime after launch
...and many many more
Survivor of the great MMORPG Famine of 2011
Thanks for the reply. Yet this fails to convince me. From what I understand housing will be in player cities only. No remote retreats.
It's the little things that made SWG special (aside from being set in the SW trilogy).
*will there be camp sites allowed anywhere in the wilds (big one for me as a role player)?
*will said camp sites protect from agro and be organic in their materials (ie. able to harvest said materials in the wilds)?
*is there a true scout/ranger like profession thats not about PVP combat?
*will there be 'black bars' on your HAM?
*will there be genuine social-hubs, like bars that have entertainers that are REQUIRED to heal mind-type wounds of players?
*will there be a skill "tree" that you can climb that is similar to the SWG one graphically (one of the things that was neat in SWG was watching the skills go up on the 'tree')?
*will there be mounts that don't disappear when you dismount them (or you don't pop on when called)?
*Will there be a farmer profession (ok I'm reaching now - this profession was in alpha SWG in 2002 but got out-voted in favor of the Chef profession, but I've always wanted to raise Tatooine cattle!).
*can you drop items in your house?
*is there a merchant profession?
*again, are there TRUE non-combat professions that are genuinely needed?
When they say that you will be able to progress separately from combat what does that really mean? All mmorpg's feature this to an extent. Will these non-combat professions be full-blown professions or just a crafting trade skill?
No one can seem to give me a straight answer, and lets face it - most of the attention this game is getting is from pre-cu SWG fans, so if they don't fully impress us their game will fail. Hope they understand this. And for the game to truly succeed they will have to do more than just regurgitate Koster-esque features - they will have to evolve them too.
I miss the good ol' days when nerds were actually intelligent.
This game will unfortunately crumble under the unrealistic expectations put on this glorified hobby project.
I am not bashing it. Hell, I am a Kickstarter backer of this, but please tune down your expectations or you will get burned.
This was the best "wall of text" ive red on this forum so far.. well written mate.
I for one will be looking into this game.

Problem taken from a paper on mathematical induction by Gerardo Con Diaz. Although it doesn't look like anything special, I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to crack this, with no luck. Most likely, due to the late hour, I am missing something very trivial here.
Prove that for any integer $n$, the number $11^{n+1}+12^{2n-1}$ is divisible by $133$.
I have tried multiplying through by $12$ and rearranging, but like I said with meager results. I arrived at $11^{n+2}+12^{2n+1}$ which satisfies the induction hypothesis for LHS, but for the RHS I got stuck at $12 \times 133m-11^{n+1}-11^{n+3}$ or $12^2 \times 133m-12 \times11^{n+1}-11^{n+3}$ and several other combinations none of which would let me factor out $133$.

The Shoulda RSpec Extravaganza
19 October 2009 by Mathias Meyer
I don't use RSpec a lot any more these days. I much prefer Shoulda, heck I even started using Rails integration tests again (using Shoulda of course), because sometimes the additional abstraction of Cucumber is just too much. Any way, there's some things I liked about RSpec, and they were not related to the features of the testing DSL itself, but more to the tool RSpec. It has a neat formatter that'll output the ten slowest-running tests. I also found the colored list of full test names to be very helpful.
So I scratched my itch last weekend and brought that goodness to Shoulda. Our test suite is starting to get a bit slow, and it already served us well to find the slowest one. I like the approach of rinse and repeat to squeeze some valueable dozens of seconds out of a test suite with that technique.
So without further ado, I give you shoulda-addons, my little patch set to bring both test profiling and a colored list of full test names to you Shoulda test suite. I'm sure it'd work with normal Test::Unit or MiniTest without much effort, but for now it's made for Shoulda, and it looks like this:
While adding in the profiling was pretty straight forward, getting the colored output was pretty messy, and I'm not proud of it, especially considering that Test::Unit and MiniTest go different routes of outputting the little dots F's and E's.
The package is up on GitHub, can be installed from Gemcutter via
gem install shoulda-addons, and should work with Ruby 1.8 and 1.9. I also tested it with Mocha included, so let me know if something doesn't work for you.

This is super cute! It did crumble apart really easily as soon as it came out of the package, and I'm not sure about the water colors- the listing said something about a hidden peach, but it was a rich shade of purple. The smell is great and the color was awesome, nevertheless. I accidentally ordered two, and I don't mind.

Liberty News
Liberty resident director wins Super Bowl trip
Two Liberty University Flames are headed to see the Steelers take on the Cardinals at the Super Bowl this weekend, and they are not paying a dime for their tickets or VIP treatment.
"At first, I couldn't believe it, and then it was a little surreal and overwhelming," said Resident Director Bliss Spillar. "I told the first person standing there next to me who was a fellow RD."
Surreal and overwhelming are good choice words to describe the grand-prize package that Spillar won thanks to the Snickers VIP Like Me: Super Bowl Fantasy Weekend contest.
The package includes: two tickets to Super Bowl XLIII, a five-day/four-night trip to Orlando, two VIP tickets to EA Sports' Super Bowl Party, a private reception with current/former NFL players, two tickets to Disney World, and a Snickers Welcome Bash with former New York Giants standout and Super Bowl XLII winner Michael Strahan. This makes the total value of the prize package $7,240 per person.
By entering the UPC codes from select packages of Snickers bars on the company website, participants became eligible to win instant prizes for this sweepstakes. "I received an affidavit a few weeks later letting me know that I had won a prize. A week later, I got the call that I was the grand-prize winner," said Spillar.
Spillar picked Resident Assistant Tyler McClure to tag along on the once-in-a-lifetime trip.
"My best friend Tyler was able to get us free tickets on the 50-yard line to the Cowboys vs. Redskins game this year, so I figured I would return the favor," said Spillar. "We are most excited about meeting NFL players, experiencing the Super Bowl and being treated like VIPs."
While enjoying the big game, these two diehard Liberty fans said they would be sporting their Flames gear to promote LU.

Old Formula Vees - Group V in Australia

Adriene was keen on some space-fillers (to keep the ads apart from each other, I guess) and I had most of the info to hand.
It's not always that easy, but when it is, you take it. Look for a feature in the same mag on a Renault 5 Turbo2 coming up.

Talking of restorers of cars down Goulburn way Gil Skidmore (at Crookwell) has just about finished his 1966 Rennmax Vee http://www.svcr.com.au (still asking for a pic of it though).
The other person down that way is Colin Merz (in Canberra) he too has restored his Rennmax and has been running it now for more than 10 years, a pic of his car (with wide wheels) is below.

That No 28 "Streamliner" looks like Paul Bailly's car. Paul is the brother of multi Aust Sports Sedan Champion Kerry Bailly and used to be very dominant in Tas Vee racing in the early 80's. Bloody ugly car though I must say - not a patch on the early Elfin or Rennmax Vees.
Still if they are winning races it does'nt really matter does it?
Regards ellrosso [/QUOTE]
Yep I've had a look at a scanned copy of the log book that the current owner has for the 1977 Trowbridge, he has Kerry Baily's old car, that car is in Randwick (Sydney's Eastern Suburbs) not doing much, sure if anyone wanted it, it could be bought for around the $1000-$1500 mark but it doesn't have the original body on it or the double roll bar though....

I have owned the car since about 1983. I raced it at Oran park a couple of times but I knew it needed a lot of attention to get it competitive. I got ripped off by a couple of Vee specialists who thought that I was good for a buck. There was the gearbox without any oil in the ready to race geearbox rebuild and another bloke blocked a jet in the carby with a screw (he was making an exhaust for me) and then told me the reason it was down on power was the motor needed a rebuild! At that point I decided that Vee people were best avoided!
I used the car a bit in sprints and hillclimbs and in 1988 I fitted a 1600cc motor to mack it more fun and I even took a FTD at a Catalina lap dash! I parked the car at the end of 88 and it has not been used since. I pulled the car apart a few years back to start on a restoration but I have had other things in the way. I discovered a few little chassis problems from the previous owners and I also removed a couple of extra roll bar supports that actually prevented me from leaning back properly in the car. When I drove it my head was above the roll bar but being able to recline properly means my head would be well below the bar.
I had to do a bit of cutting to the engine cover to fit the twin carb 1600 and now I regret not keeping the off cuts! But the body is still usable.
Here are the log book photos from the early 80s...
Posted 04 January 2009 - 01:03
These early cars with the faux open mouth fronts are the cars that I like the best. It certainly looks more svelt than a Mk1 Mako.
Posted 04 January 2009 - 11:29
This looks like being the first C of D Group V from Victoria, few more to follow this year (I hope) including Geoff Kelly's ex George Reynolds Eflin 500 (and maybe his Stag still trying to twist his arm on that one ), Paul Hambleton's Daveric and maybe the ex-Ron Cremens Avanti now in Shepparton, few other guys I have to work on in Vic including Graeme Ankers and his Eflin 500 and maybe Penny Neville and her Elfin NG EP010 and possibly arrange a bit of support to get Gary Rydings Stag underway. If they all come to fruitition I might even get Max Bonney to C of D his Elfin NG 7601 !!!!

Why does this car have radius rods at the front, or what are they?
Posted 05 January 2009 - 10:59
Secret weapon.... The chassis was built fairly low at the front. On a normal Vee the front suspension is held to the chassis by four U-bolts, two on each side, one on the top beam and one on the bottom beam. On this car there are only two U-bolts holding the suspension to the chassis and they are on the bottom beam. To stop the suspension from falling over it has radius rods attached to the top of the shock mount to the dash bulkhead.

It gives an advantage that you can easily adjust the castor. (why would you want to?)
There was also a theory that you could tune the car to a particular direction by making one side longer than the other to twist the front suspension. My own view is that the front suspension would stay straight and the chassis would twist behind it!
Posted 05 January 2009 - 22:29
Posted 06 January 2009 - 06:46
I suppose if you left the locknuts loose you could lean forward and twist the arms while on the move.

A great project for those of into Historic Vee on ebay at the moment. After talking to few people we reckon it probably is the Kingfischer that was first owned by Andy Fischer and run by Ray Colenso in 1985.
Just to update
After managing to get hold of Andy Fischer we have discovered the car below is not the ex- Ray Colenso car, it actually the first Kingfischer that Andy built. Andy said the first car was nickel bronzed while later cars were MIG welded. Ray also remembered that on his car he had the gear change moved from the left to the right side of the car. Log book records search also confirmed that the car Andy sold to Ray is now owned by Jayne White in SA while this car below was sold to Frank Bathgate in 1981. So we have the correct log book number for this car so the log book can be re-issued.
It's ebay location is
Still does anyone know of it's recent history, CAMS have it's last owner a Rowan (Rohan?) Brown of Mornigton (VIC).

What's that hanging under the right-side trailing arm? It almost looks like a handbrake cable - or maybe a sway bar?
I hope you manage to get it back on track soon - good to see so many wonderful one-offs coming out of sheds.

At a lap dash at Catalina in 88 the car would bottom out through the dip on the straight. The fuel hose from the under knee fuel tank runs between the fibreglass floor and the fibreglass seat, the bottom of the seat is lower than the chassis rails. When the car bottomed out it would rub through the floor and started rubbing through the rubber fuel hose. Another run and it could have.....
The bit under the trailing arm is the transverse leaf spring. It used to get knocked off if I hit a ripple strip.
Posted 16 January 2009 - 10:26
Moxon slaps self in forehead.
Yeah, ripple strips would be the enemy. I guess it's got a very low centre of gravity, anyway.
Paul English had to cut the forward roll bar supports of the Moxon Vee and fit a rear-facing one, as he's a fair bit bigger than Dad.

Posted 19 January 2009 - 13:08
To some degree the weight was offset by the power of the engine which was prepared at work (aka foreign orders) to aircraft specs. It had some super aircraft items shaped to look like VW bits! John Schroeder at the Town & Country Garage at Hornsby said it was the most powerful Vee engine (to that time) on his dyno. The chassis weight issue became more and more evident and an offer to buy the ex Gary Clare, ex Alan Nelson, Mk 1 Elfin resulted in the Wirra being sold to Wayne Edwards and his brother. Wayne unfortunate suffer spinal injuries in a surfing accident and I don't know were the car went from there, though someone here talks about owning it at one time.
Someone on another thread indicated that the car was very badly damaged and rebuilt in a week. That car was so over-designed I doubt it could ever be badly damaged. I always thought it would punch a hole through concrete. I also noted Ray Bell's disparaging comment on the style of the car… but hey, tell me anything from the 70s that is NOW seen to have style! I do believe however that it was probably one of the first Vees not to have a faux radiator intake at the front – hardly in the Colin Chapman league of innovation I grant you but we thought it looked okay. Before I got to actually run the Wirra, Alan Nelson fitted a yellow painted Wirra bodywork to his Mako but I have no details of that car. The name came from the Wirraway aircraft.
My Mk1 Elfin went to Bruce Colby and he once told me it then went to Qld and was totalled – pity, it was a great car. I ended up with the first NG Elfin in NSW (IIRC # 7606) and after two seasons that went to Peter Moore.
From there the story for me is a familiar one of marriage, mortgage, school fees, etc., leaving no time or money for fun. I'm about to retire and I have again teamed up with Neil to construct one of those 250 GTOs based on a 240Z shell - this time we are watching the weight! It has some special features and old Vee/FF driver and one time Team Lotus and Stone Bros fabricator, Mick Truman, is lending a hand. Hope to get it running at some club days. Sorry for the ramble.
Here is the Wirra
Here is the Mk 1 Elfin (Yellow) [edit; IIRC Verona Larkin - GAS/Allget, Gerry Wittenden - Nimbus, #12 might be Mark Ferrier -i.e. Garth Tander's father-in-law?, then me and Bryan Henderson - Rennmax]
Here is the NG Elfin - Does anyone know were this car is?
Posted 19 January 2009 - 20:33
From what I have your Elfin NG was 7607 (from the Elfin Register & your log book application) and it was last seen headed to Victoria with Frank Adamson, whom we assume still owns it (or know's where it is).
Who's in front and behind you in the photo. I love the Chokito livery of the car behind which I assume is a Rennmax MkI

Posted 20 January 2009 - 02:28
Peter 'Gunna' Moore was a friend of a friend and to my knowledge did not crash but simply pulled it apart and pondered for the next 10/15 years over putting back together. The engine and a few other bits sat in my garage for 25 years which makes me think he never sold the car in that period - I recently gave the engine to Kerry Calderbank as a spare as I have no contacts for Peter Moore. I would be interested to know more dates surrounding the Frank Adamson story - doesn't sound like it's 7607.
I've tried to put some names to the other drivers in the earlier photo.
Ray... I could be wrong but I don't think Greg ever ran a Chokito vee. I think he joined 'the team' with a 23/23b and then maybe the Matich, it's all a long time ago. RCN Sept '77 has a story but it doesn't make it clear.
Posted 20 January 2009 - 03:17
Don't ask me their first names.
I have the log book number but no chassis number for that car..... (Peter you may be able to help on that one).

Posted 20 January 2009 - 03:42
What is an Elfin 500? ... Is that a Mk1?
The Mk1 I owned previously belonged to Alan Nelson and prior to that, not sure if immediately prior, Gary Clare. I don't recall any chassis plate or even stampings. Bruce Colby owned it for quite some time after me.
Posted 20 January 2009 - 04:19
Yep a Elfin Mk 1 is an Elfin 500, poor Bruce Colbey is not good on facts and figures, I was trying my luck with your memory.
What I am attempting to do is fill in a gap in the Elfin Register and your car is one of three early Elfin Vees that were sold by Jack Bono in NSW that which chassis is which log book is a problem.

With the square roll bar and body shape I'd say #12 looks like the Tripps. I've got the original log book photos of the car (which we owned at a time)with the original body and looks close. It had Rennmax mk1 body work by the time we got. We'd prefer to call Mark Belinda's dad. She raced Vee's in the early to mid 90's before Leanne started but yeah, Garth's father in law. Another Story we (my family) owned the Ferrier Mako for a short time! Ian, would the Greenhalgh's first name been Larry? The first car the folks owned in 1972 was a copy of Terry O'Neil's Rennmax mk1 car called the Greemax. Sorry, it's tragic I know this Vee-itis.

Steve currently owns the Craig Bradshaw Club vee. A strange Lynx/Gas style ladder chassis but with a zero-roll system with coil-overs at the rear.
Funny story about Mark Laverick. I did my OLT at Oran Park with Mark back in the days when the OLT was an all day affair with three track sessions (races!!!). After session 2 when Mark drove away from the other sedans in his Charger 770, the instructor asked what gear he was using coming out of Suttons as the revs sounded strange. "I dunno, its automatic!!

"The promise of 10 laps of a repeat effort* from the Vees unfortunately came to nought on the second lap of the 2UW Vee race, for as they went over the hill, Angus and Christie had a coming together which put Engel solidly in front for an easy run to the flag. Verona Larkin inherited a distant second place, and she was under pressure from a number, including Witenden, Ferrier, Houston and Henderson. ..." (Bell.R, Racing Car News, Vol.15 No.10, April 1976, p.41, Racing Car News Pty Ltd, Redfern, Australia)
*Referring to an earlier frantic, fibreglass shattering, 5 lap race.
The report went on to describe yet another incident where I was able to snatch failure from the jaws of success. An ability I was able to retain throughout my racing career.
Unfortunately I don't have a program for that particular meeting to confirm the #12 car/driver. IIRC drivers were given a number for a whole season based on their championship finishing position the previous year, so someone would probably have that information somewhere - if it's of that much interest!
Posted 24 January 2009 - 10:03
That would be right as Pagey started racing the Trips around 1978 or 79. He only raced until late 80 or early 81 in the Rennmax (he can't recall the exact date).
Posted 24 January 2009 - 10:12
I can tell you from the records we have that Mark Ferrier bought the Tripps off Gary Dubios in Dec 74 and he also changed the colour from Olive to Yellow at some stage before Nov 1977. Safe to say he owned the Tripps from Dec 74 to at least Nov 77. Interestingly Mark also Log Booked a CMS in Aug 74 with front disc and 1600cc engine .... wonder what happened to that ? I'll have to ask him one day.

Tubocurarine injection
What is tubocurarine injection?
TUBOCURARINE is a muscle relaxant. It relaxes muscles during surgery or for patients who are on breathing machines (ventilators). Tubocurarine can also help diagnose a disease called myasthenia gravis. Generic tubocurarine injections are available.
What should my health care professional know before I receive tubocurarine?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
asthma or breathing difficulties
heart disease
hypothermia or hyperthermia (changes in normal body temperature)
kidney disease
lung disease
muscle disease or weakness
an unusual or allergic reaction to tubocurarine, sulfites, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
pregnant or trying to get pregnant

It's all over the media - 6 Music dedicating programmes to them, all the newspapers carrying features - yet we've not mentioned them here. I put High Tides & Green Grass on the iPod yesterday and went to the gym. God, it's perfect! Did rock'n'roll ever sound better than Satisfaction or Paint It Black? What a groove. What a sound. What an attitude. And they so looked the business. I have no doubt that the Rolling Stones were the greatest rock'n'roll band ever - from 1964 to 1972 they recorded so much magnificent music. And even as they faded across the 70s they still offered up some fine funk-soul pastiches: Hot Stuff, Fool To Cry, Miss You, Beast Of Burden, Emotional Rescue, Dance. Since then they have been creatively dead but, from accounts of people I know who have purchased tickets for their gigs, deliver an enjoyable stadium show. I've never gone along - not liking stadiums - but did pay to see Keef at Town & Country and Charlie at Ronnie Scotts. Both were great.
This forum once descended into acrimony over Brown Sugar when a foolish American called Christian asked for a boycott and a drunken Englishman called Des used some really offensive language towards another forumista. So let's not replicate that. Love the Stones - post here. Hate the Stones - post here. But no name calling or unpleasantness please.
I've shown my hand: the Stones were the greatest rock band ever and no one else really came close to matching them in those luminous days. And they inspired the best book on a rock band ever - Stanley Booth's True Adventures Of The Rolling Stones. A superb read.

PORTLAND, Oregon – Over the course of the storied histories of soccer in Seattle and Portland, the two teams have met four times in the playoffs. On Thursday, Portland drew even in the all-time postseason clashes when the Timbers topped Sounders FC, 3-2, in the match to win the aggregate-goal Western Conference Semifinals series, 5-3.
The defeat ended an up-and-down season for Sounders FC that was loaded with promise, but riddled with inconsistency, as various factors forced Head Coach Sigi Schmid into consistent lineup shuffling.
Thursday was much of the same as Schmid made three changes from his first-leg lineup, as Shalrie Joseph replaced the suspended Lamar Neagle, Michael Gspurning returned from suspension and Marc Burch replaced the injured Leo Gonzalez.
The Timbers raced to a 3-0 lead, but Seattle stormed back late to keep the series close.
The Timbers had the first opportunity of the night in the third minute when Diego Valeri played it wide for Rodney Wallace all alone on the left side, but he put his shot wide of the open net.
In the 14th minute, Diego Chara got into the box, but Burch cut him off with a sliding challenge, spilling the ball to Gspurning to save a would-be chance.
Portland took the 1-0 lead in the 29th minute on a penalty whistled on Djimi Traore. The Timbers were playing the ball up the right side of the box and it hit Traore's outstretched arm, drawing the penalty call. Will Johnson converted from the mark and Portland held a 3-1 lead in the aggregate-goal series.
Seattle had chances to pull closer, but a dipping, long-range shot by Eddie Johnson in the 34th minute was tipped over by Portland goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts and Brad Evans missed just wide on a volley from the top of the box in the 36th minute.
Just before halftime, the Timbers added to their lead through Valeri.
Pressing up the right side, Wallace touched the ball to Valeri at the top of the box and he hammered a shot inside the far post, putting Seattle behind 2-0 in the match and 4-1 in the series.
Bad was made worse just 90 seconds into the second half.
Wallace got the ball on the left side and clipped a cross into the box where Mamadou Danso charged onto it to head it in for a 3-0 lead in the match and 5-1 lead in the series.
Seattle subbed Obafemi Martins and Mauro Rosales into the match, but still struggled to gain any traction in the attack until the final 16 minutes of the match.
In the 74th minute, Seattle pulled one back on a long throw from Evans. Johnson got his head to the throw to flick it in front of the net and Jhon Kennedy Hurtado had his shot blocked, but the ball spilled across the six-yard box to Yedlin at the far post and he thumped it into the net for the goal, making it 3-1 in the match.
Yedlin then assisted on a goal by Johnson in the 76th minute, crossing from the right side for a Johnson header in the middle of the box, bringing the aggregate-goal score to 5-3.
That was all the comeback Seattle could muster, though, and that is how the season would come to an end.
The Timbers will meet Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference Championship series starting Sunday at Rio Tinto Stadium after RSL topped the LA Galaxy in an overtime victory on Thursday.
Sounders FC – DeAndre Yedlin 74; Eddie Johnson (DeAndre Yedlin) 76.
Timbers – Will Johnson (PK) 29; Diego Valeri (Rodney Wallace) 44; Mamadou Danso (Rodney Wallace, Will Johnson) 47.
Sounders FC – Clint Dempsey (caution) 49.
Timbers – Pa Modou Kah (caution) 26; Diego Chara (caution) 53.
Sounders FC – Michael Gspurning, DeAndre Yedlin, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, Djimi Traore, Marc Burch, Brad Evans, Osvaldo Alonso (Andy Rose 84), Adam Moffat (Mauro Rosales 58), Clint Dempsey, Eddie Johnson, Sharlie Joseph (Obafemi Martins 49).
Timbers – Donovan Ricketts, Jack Jewsbury, Mamadou Danso, Pa Modou Kah, Michael Harrington, Diego Chara, Will Johnson, Diego Valeri (Kalif Alhassan 61), Darlington Nagbe (Ben Zemanski 82), Ryan Johnson (Maximiliano Urruti 69), Rodney Wallace.

Item # HED000YItem # HED000Y
Cheat the wind.
The HED H3D FR Carbon Tubular Road Wheel has only been in production since 2007, yet it lays claim to victories at the Tour, the Giro, and Beijing. Even the prototypes, being tested as early as 2005, were turning heads in timetrials. The H3D not only looks cool, it's also fast and you'll be faster for riding it.
The H3D Tubular Wheel is an amalgamation of the Jet 9 Aero rim and the standard H3 FR, but the H3D gives you all of the advantage of the H3 FR design and then some. For one, the aero section of the H3D FR rim is molded from the stiffer and lighter Uni fabric. There are numerous aerodynamic advantages from the 90mm rim depth, as well. As a front wheel, the H3D is faster than the H3 at yaw angles up to 10 degrees. This benefits the beast who is continually riding above 25mph where yaw angles tend to be consistently lower than 10 degrees. However, you will find the inverse to be true for riding under 25mph. This leads to the question of if you'd benefit more from the H3 Deep or the H3. The H3D is HED's fastest non-disc wheel, so anyone specializing in a discipline that prohibits disc wheels stands to gain a monumental advantage. If your discipline finds your average speed to be below 25mph, the H3 will be your choice of front wheels with the H3D being better suited as a rear.
The H3 Deep is extremely aerodynamic. It utilizes three main components to achieve its low drag ratios: a 90mm deep rim section, airfoil section spokes, and the smooth connection points where the two join. This design has heavily reduced drag resistance from every angle of the wheel. Coming in at only 19mm wide, the deep, V-shaped rim section is designed to minimize drag at shallow yaw angles, and, past 15 degrees, the shape of the airfoil spokes allow airflow passage to keep the wheel from stalling.
The HED H3 Deep Tubular wheel also focuses on rigidity and stability. The carbon layup, resins, and fiber orientations of the H3D are at their most advanced stages to date. The wheel features a startling amount of lateral and torsional rigidity. To ice the cake, HED has also developed a 'secret weapon' that it calls Stability Control Technology (SCT) to effectively tame crosswind at any angle to the wheel. SCT is so secret that HED will not detail the process publicly, but the performance value is instantly recognizable upon usage.
Unparalleled quality control, aerodynamic design, and rim shape innovation set the H3 Deep FR Tubular Front Wheel apart from the pack. Decades of H3 podium finishes have reinforced that HED is better following the beat of its own drum, and that eventually, all others will follow.
The H3D FR Carbon Tubular Road Wheel includes a titanium skewer and ratchet ring. It's available individually as a either front or rear with SRAM/Shimano or Campagnolo compatibility. Please note that the maximum recommended user weight is 250lbs.

A Literary Canon in Physics Education Research
John Thompson and Bradley Ambrose
In recent years the field of physics education research (PER) has experienced tremendous growth in not only the number of professionals within the field but also the depth and diversity of research questions being explored. Experts in PER have themselves emerged from a variety of academic backgrounds, including physics, science education, and cognitive science. In August 2005, the conference "Foundations and Frontiers in Physics Education Research" provided an opportunity for PER specialists to compile a list of publications describing research on the teaching and learning of physics that are considered primary and necessary by everyone in the field. A group of conferees volunteered to accomplish this task.
In light of the successes achieved in PER and the accelerating expansion of the frontiers of the field, the prospect of assembling a literary canon in PER was viewed as simultaneously necessary and daunting. In contrast to the existing resource letters in PER and problem solving research,A the desired outcome was a concise list of readings that articulate the fundamental interests and issues of PER, thus providing a common language and point of reference in the field. The canon could be used, though perhaps with minor modifications, as a resource by new graduate students and faculty members entering the field or by other physics educators who wish to familiarize themselves with seminal and exemplary research and curriculum development in PER.
The PER canon working group divided into teams. Each team was assigned to compile a list of exemplary readings fitting one of the following general categories: (a) empirical investigations of student understanding, (b) modeling student learning, (c) PER-based curricular materials, (d) PER-based diagnostic instruments and assessments. Sources to be included in the former two categories were limited to those that best illustrated particular research methods utilized in PER as well as the types of research questions on which those methods are brought to bear. For the latter two categories the focus was instead on published PER-based curricula and validated assessment methods that have gained acceptance both within the PER community and in the larger physics education community.
When the entire working group reconvened to discuss and debate which sources should be included in the canon, it became clear that a single list of 25 or fewer sources would be too restrictive. However, group members agreed upon a two-tiered structure for the canon and, after extensive discussion, selected which readings belonged in the primary tier. This primary list of PER readings, and the rationale described above for selecting them, was presented to the entire body of conferees by the co-facilitators of the working group. Those readings are listed below in chronological order of publication, from earliest to most recent. A few entries list two articles; these articles were originally written as complements to one another, as indicated explicitly in their titles.
The supplementary readings assigned to a secondary tier included research articles or conceptual surveys that are regarded as essential in PER, but were not the first of their kind, or describe research conducted outside the realm of PER. (Due to limited space, these readings-which would have more than tripled the size of the list shown here-will instead be cited on the Foundations and Frontiers in Physics Education Research conference website: http://perlnet.umephy.maine.edu/ffper/WG.htm.)

Using the RSS Feature
Posted by on 12 April 2011 11:02 AM
RSS (formally "RDF" and known also as "Really Simple Syndication") is a set of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a "feed", contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with your web site in an automated manner that's easier than checking it manually.
RSS content can be read using software called an RSS reader. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds. Internet Explorer users view feeds on the Feeds tab in the Favorites Center. To view your feeds, click the Favorites Center button, and then click Feeds. Internet Explorer also provides the Common Feed List to other programs. This allows you to subscribe to feeds with Internet Explorer and read them in other programs, such as e-mail clients.
Like a newsletter, the RSS feature is a great way to keep in contact with visitors, keep them up-to-date, and get them to return to your website. If you use the News or Blog modules, encourage visitors to use the RSS feature.
Within the NE1 web builder, the RSS module can be configured using the "Add-On Modules" tab at the top of the webmaster page. By clicking the "Add New RSS Chanel" button, you are free to add as many RSS feeds as you like. The feeds can then be inserted on any page in the same manner as any module is inserted.

Many of you have probably already made this by accident and just thrown it away, but I suggest doing it again on purpose. This butter beats stick butter hands down, so I thought I'd spread the knowledge around.
Because what happens when you overwhip unsweetened whipped cream? You get delicious, soft, spreadable, unsweetened butter (and a little buttermilk as an extra bonus).
(How, you might ask, do you whip unsweetened cream without getting to the butter stage? Add something to stabilize it — cream of tartar or gelatin powder disolved in a tiny bit of cold water, but that's a post for another day. Today, butter.)
How to make it? So simple. Pour some cream into mixing bowl, and mix it until it becomes whipped cream. Then keep mixing it until it separates, and you can hear the butter solids sloshing around in the buttermilk. Pour out the buttermilk (save it for pancakes!) and pour 1/2 cup of water into the bowl with the butter solids. Beat the butter again until any remaining buttermilk has released from the butter, and pour out the water. Save the butter in the refrigerator, or spread it on toast immediately.
Last, check out this Q&A feature of me on the Whole Foods website! And if you haven't already, click here to vote for my recipe!

Wash + Care
How To
Your OndadeMar can go through a lot of sun, sand, salt, sunscreen and chlorine. It deserves the right care. We suggest hand-washing it in cool water using a mild detergent, then laying it in the shade to dry. Keep light and dark colors separate when wet, as some items may bleed. Try to avoid dry cleaning, ironing, bleaching and rough surfaces.
