Walther Falcon Hunter .22 Cal w/ Air Venturi Gas Ram
Written By,

Editor / Owner www.AirGunWeb.com
Review Product & Supplies Provided by:
It seems today everyone is looking for power, power, power, which is achieved often times at the expense of accuracy. In this article however, we are going to talk about a rifle that delivers both. The Walther Falcon Hunter is a break barrel rifle that comes in .22 or .25 caliber. Talking about power for a moment, the .22 version we are testing, sends pellets down range at speeds similar to .177 rifles that use much lighter pellets. For example, the Falcon Hunter sends 21.1 gr. Beeman Extra Heavy pellets to the target at 690 FPS. This translates into 22.31 foot pounds at the muzzle. Even more impressive are the Gamo Hunters at 15.3 gn. Which scream down range at 860 FPS generating an amazing 25.13 foot pounds. But before we get too ahead of ourselves let's take a look at the rifle in detail.
Our test rifle from PyramydAir.com, complete with the AirVenturi Gas Ram.
On paper the Falcon Hunter weighs a shade under 8 pounds. My guess is more like 9 pounds with the scope as it feels pretty heavy to me. It comes in a unique Mossy Oak Break-Up composite stock, includes front and rear (fully adjustable) fiber optic sights and even ships with a decent 3-9×44 scope equipped with an adjustable objective and illuminated mil-dot reticule. Our test model came direct from PyramydAir.com with the AirVenturi Gas Ram upgrade installed. The gas ram replaces the stock spring and provides a smoother, more enjoyable and consistent shooting experience. It also allows you to leave the rifle cocked without the fear of wearing out the spring prematurely.

Walther makes a pretty big deal about the grooved dovetail stating that the groves allow accessories to "lock" into place like on a Weaver style mount. Unfortunately, Walther did not utilize them with the included scope rings, but rather relied on a fixed scope stop to prevent scope slippage. This sets the scope too far forward for me to shoot comfortably. If I could find some rings that would allow me to move the scope back to the last groove, it would be just about perfect.
The stock, as mentioned before, is made from a composite material and comes in Mossy Oak Break-Up. I was not thrilled with this stock because it feels hollow and not very sturdy. I've heard grumblings that the recoil from the factory spring causes breaks in the stock along with other issues such as screws coming loose. I'm pleased to report that I've not had any issues with the gas ram version. The stock just feels a bit weak to me. Other features include forearm and grip checkering along with a raised cheek piece for all the right-handed shooters out there. Lefties will have to live without the raised cheek piece. One last feature is that the stock comes with inserts to lengthen the stock for those that want to adjust the length of the pull.

Shooting the Walther Falcon Hunter takes a great deal of strength and patience. The cocking force of the rifle is at or close to 60 pounds from my estimation and the trigger pull is not far behind. Of course I'm exaggerating about the trigger, but not by much. If there is a real weak point in this rifle, it is with the trigger. The trigger is made of a similar composite material and does not seem to have any real adjustment to speak of. While shooting the rifle you will have to pay very close attention to your trigger pull so that it does not turn into trigger yank. There is an automatic safety that will please some and annoy others. I've grown accustom to rifles that set the safety automatically so it did not bother me.
Walther's trigger.. back to the drawing board… this thing is terribly hard to pull.
Walther's automatic safety. You can reset it even after you've pulled it out to shoot.
As mentioned above this rifle came equipped with the AirVenturi Gas Ram and as you can see below, it completely replaces the factory spring. I'm not sure what is involved in the upgrade, but I know it should only be done by those experienced in working with high powered spring guns. You need special equipment to safely perform the upgrade. For this reason, PyramydAir.com offers the upgrade as an option direct from their warehouse. It adds a little more than $90 to the overall cost of the rifle, and as I've mentioned in my other articles, it is money well spent. The gas spring delivers smoother cocking, reduced recoil, and often times more powerful and more consistent velocity.
The sliver tube is the gas ram. Notice the absence of any spring.
The Falcon Hunter performed very well right out of the box and the shooting characteristics are similar to other break barrel rifles. It is somewhat hold sensitive and requires good shooting technique if you want predictable results. The cards below show typical results while shooting from 20 yards. I found that resting the rifle on the palm of my hand with my thumb and fore finger at the stock screw in front of the trigger guard yielded the most consistent results. All of these groups are between .5" and .8" CTC. At only 20 yards I'd like to see tighter groups than .5" but I'm not going to get them with this trigger so I'll settle for what I can get. With a lighter trigger I know the groups will improve.
Predator "Poly-Mag" Polymer Tipped Hunting Pellets, Average Velocity, 838 FPS, 16 gr., 24.96 foot pounds.
Gamo Hunter Pellets (best group at just under .5" CTC), Average Velocity 860 FPS, 15.3 gr., 25.13 foot pounds
Beeman Field Target Specials, Average Velocity 880 FPS, 14.6 gr., 25.11 foot pounds.
Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy Pellets, Average Velocity 690 FPS, 21.1 gr., 22.31 foot pounds.
What is interesting about the above cards is that the size of the groups varied very little between pellets. The point ofimpact varied significantly however, especially with the Beeman Kodiaks. This rifle shoots many different pellets well and allows you can pick the best pellet for your application, zero your scope to that pellet, and feel confident that you will hit the mark.
The Falcon Hunter does pose a bit of a quandary. The above shot cards don't really show what this rifle is capable of. For example, when you are looking at .5" groups at 20 yards, you can expect that to open up greatly at 30 and 40 yards. This is just not the case as I get fairly similar groups out to 35 yards. The rifle itself is quite accurate. Holding the proper sight picture throughout the trigger pull, recoil, and follow through is where the patience and practice comes into play.
To prove this point, I decided to give the Falcon Hunter one last chance to shine. This time, taking in all I had learned from yesterday's session. I settled in at the bench and began running pellets through the rifle. Amazingly enough, things started to tighten up and I ended the day with the following group. Turns out that you need to really take your time and really control your body during the trigger pull AND the follow through after the shot. If Walther could just lighten up that trigger, this would be an unbeatable combo. The following group was shot with the Crosman Pointed pellets.
Crosman Pointed Hunting Pellets. Average Velocity 880 FPS, 14.3 gr., 24.6 foot pounds.
All in all, the Walther Falcon Hunter has proven to be an accurate and powerful addition to my airgun arsenal. Two areas of improvement that I would suggest to Walther would be to drastically improve the trigger and strengthen the stock. With those to two changes, this would be an almost unbeatable combination of power and accuracy. I want to give a special thanks to PyramydAir.com for providing this rifle and all the supplies. This version, with the gas ram, retails for $358.99.

Ambitious plans for London to become a sustainable city
The GBP£100m London Green Fund is just one of the ways the mayor of London Boris Johnson hopes will contribute to London becoming a sustainable green city of the future.
Speaking at the Base London event at London's Excel Centre this morning, Johnson outlined his vision for a sustainable London, including measures such as creating 10 low-carbon zones in and around greater London, championing decentralised energy for the capital and making London the electric vehicle capital of the world.
The purpose of the London Green Fund, according to the mayor, is that it will be used to "lever in further investment in green technologies from the private sector".
Johnson believes London is the ideal city to lead the way in green innovation. "Already 70% of the world's trading desks are in the capital. We have got the people, the expertise, the money and now we have got the location," he said.
The London Green Fund will invest in climate change-relevant projects including waste, decentralised energy and energy efficiency across Greater London. It is part of the European Investment Bank and the European Commission's Joint European Support for Sustainable Investment in City Areas.
The first pot of money to be allocated is GBP£35m to the Waste Urban Development Fund, which aims to establish value adding reuse, recycle, reprocessing and energy-from-waste facilities in the capital. The European Investment Bank is currently considering expressions of interest for a fund manager to manage the Waste Urban Development Fund.
As part of the plans for London to become more sustainable, Johnson also announced the launch of a Green Enterprise District in London Docklands, which began with the unveiling of a GBP£30m Siemens Pavilion, designed to be a permanent showcase for sustainable technologies.

Cherub Acoustic Pick Up
WCP-60G Guitar Pickup
On slow days at the store we occasionally get visited by our surf instructor friend Kevin. He's a good fun guy with great energy to him (and a lot of it). I have had the pleasure instructing him once before on basic improvisation and it was a great lesson. That high energy mixed with the spirit of the jam really brought out an enlightening experience that reminded me the kind of joy that music brings out in people. Really a reminder to what I believe is one of the keys to playing music: Joy.
One day Kevin made one of his regular visits into the store and asked me if I knew anything about amplifying his ukulele. He was weary of damaging his beautiful Kanile'a so he was looking for something topical. I told him about the, "Bottle Cap," pick ups and he was interested by not particularly inspired. He told me he heard of a clip on pick up that was cheap yet effective. Not exactly sure what he was talking about I imagined the idea and realized how effective that could be. What brand does this?
The following week opened as usual. Readying the store, teaching the morning lesson, and a mad rush of customers. Just as I exhaled I started to hear the sound of a distorted ukulele. Not too sure, I expected maybe one of the crazies strumming on a cheapo ABC or something along those lines. Yet, around the corner came Kevin in hand his ukulele with a cord hanging from his uke. Here he was with his clip on mic hooked up to one of those little Danelectro amps clipped on to his board shorts. I couldn't help but laugh to see he had found exactly what he was looking for. With all knobs cranked on max, this tiny amp couldn't the volume. With some minor adjustments the ukulele sounded as it was, just slightly amplified (a good sign of a good pick up).
WCP-60G Guitar Pickup from the company Cherub. With great reviews and it's inexpensive nature I can't see how anyone could go wrong with one of these. If you have an instrument that is too nice for any invasive surgery, I highly recommend this little piece of equipment. It's small and has little padding to avoid any contact damage.
I am not aware of where you can get this locally but you can order it right of their website. And if you do find it locally. . .let me know soon (because I'll be ordering it if not!)

Praise for easyJet
Praise where praise is due. After we were diverted from Innsbruck to Munich on Saturday conditions which made landing risky at the Austrian airport, easyJet reacted with impressive speed and efficiency. Within an hour of touching down passengers were on their way back to Innsbruck in chartered coaches and given that we had planned a stop of about 30 minutes on between there are our final destination in the Oeztal were arrived, effectively, only about 2hrs 45min behind schedule.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Mineta Announces $191,500 for Arizona's Scenic Byways Program
Topics: Norman Mineta
Federal Highway Administration
2 June 2004
Wednesday, June 2, 2004
Contact: Lori Irving, 202-366-0660
FHWA 7-04a
Grant Will Support Arizona's Small Communities, Promote Tourism
U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta today announced that Arizona will receive a $191,500 grant for the Kaibab Plateau-North Rim Parkway that is part of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) National Scenic Byways Program.
"The only way to visit many of our nation's treasures is to travel on a scenic byway," said Mineta. "Investing in these roads is the best way to bring travel and tourism dollars to many of Arizona's small towns."
The project will provide additional byway information to travelers, including the visually or physically impaired traveler, by developing interactive kiosks and educational low-power radio broadcasts. The information available for travelers will include current weather conditions and updates on wildfires and auto-deer collision hazards.
"Our nation's scenic byways provide a vital link between countless travelers and Arizona's small towns and rural areas, supporting hundreds of mom and pop shops along the way," said FHWA Administrator Mary E. Peters. "The Bush administration is proud to help local communities support, improve and promote these important resources."
Currently, 96 roads in 39 states have been named by the U.S. Department of Transportation as one of America's Byways. Studies suggest that byway designations increase the number of visitors to rural communities by up to 20 percent, resulting in billions more dollars and tens-of-thousand of jobs nationwide. Those same studies have found that the typical byway visitor spends between $100 and $200 per trip.
The National Scenic Byway Program recognizes roadways around the nation based on their archaeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational or scenic qualities. The funding announced today will assist the grassroots efforts of communities along the byways to preserve, protect, interpret and promote the qualities of the designated road. Since 1992, the National Scenic Byways Program has provided $219 million for 1,595 projects in 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.
More information about the National Scenic Byways Program is available online at www.byways.org or by calling toll-free, 1-800-4-BYWAYS (1-800-429-9297).

Shazam now IPO Candidate as IPO Bubble Looms
Shazam, whose technology lets people use their cell phones to learn the names of catchy songs, has raised $32 million in funding to bolster expansion plans and move the company closer to a potential public stock offering.
The new funding, led by venture capital firms Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Institutional Venture Partners, will allow "Shazam" to double its 100-person staff and accelerate product development as it steps up efforts to expand into the television market.
The company would not disclose the valuation it received in the funding round, but Chief Executive Andrew Fisher told Reuters that it was in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Valuations of Internet companies have soared in recent months, as investors snap up shares of privately held companies that are developing fast-growing social networking and mobile computing services.
LinkedIn Corp (Stock Symbol: LNKD), a professional social networking website, and online music service Pandora Music Inc (Stock Symbol: P) had splashy initial public offerings in recent weeks. LinkedIn's shares more than doubled on their first day of trading, while shares of Pandora gained as much as 30 percent on the first day, but have both since sunk below the opening price.
Other upcoming initial public offerings candidates investors are watching is the 2011 Groupon IPO (Stock Symbol: GRPN) and the 2012 Facebook IPO.
Fisher said the recent IPO activity has had no influence on his views about going public and he said that Shazam has made no decision about whether to list its shares on the public market but he said that Shazam, which has nearly 150 million users, was on track to be considered an "IPO Candidate" in 18 months as the company makes progress developing its business and its financial performance.
Shazam, which is based in London, does not disclose its revenue, but the company has been profitable for two years.
While the company is best known for its music-recognition software, which runs on cell phones and analyzes the sound waves of music played on the radio or in restaurants, Shazam is increasingly focusing on the television market.
As a result of deals that Shazam has struck with TV networks including Comcast Corp's (Stock Symbol: CMCSA) NBC Universal and with advertisers, consumers can point their cell phones to their TV sets during certain television shows and commercials to access perks such as special offers and additional videos.
Fisher said he expects revenue from the TV business to account for 50 percent of Shazam's revenue in two years and the company said it is on track to have 250 million users within two years.
DN Capital, an existing Shazam investor, is also participating in the company's latest funding round.

Head Into The Woods To See Some Art
It's an installation like no other
Washington DC's Kreeger Museum has been a longtime destination for art and culture aficionados. And with Sandra Muss's recent art exhibit called "Portals," there's another reason to go. To allow guests interact with nature in an honest, spontaneous way, Muss created seven ten-foot-high stainless steel and mirrored columns, and configured them throughout the five and one-half acre Kreeger Museum Sculpture Garden. Set aside some time through the shady oasis to reflect, react with Muss's pieces, and enjoy the leafy natural backdrop. When you're ready to unwind further, book a room at The Embassy Row Hotel.

Toytown Tower Defense
This is my tower defense game. The one that I've been working on since january. It's a flash game, based on the tower defense maps from warcraft III, where you have to defend your castle against waves of monster coming along a set path by building towers to kill them. Unfortunately, in the time I took to polish it up and actually get my arse in gear and finish it a glut of this type of game have appeared on the web. Oh well, it serves me right.
It's still a really nice game. The graphics are all pixel animated and there are lots of gameplay additions to the general formula - a hero you control, power ups, bosses, auras you can activate on your towers that boost surrounding towers. Have a go. It's fun.
I actually finished this a few weeks ago. I spent a couple of weeks touting it around various games portals before deciding to self publish it on my website. So I redid my site and slapped some google adsense stuff on it (see previous post) and put it up there, then I went on holiday to the US for 2 weeks. I've just come back and been able to assess how it's done. In terms of plays it's done ok - it reached the 6 figures plays that I was hoping for. In terms of revenue, not so good. Don't laugh, but I made the horrible discovery that I missed out a question in the profile section of mochiads, so it's only been showing the free ads. Basically it's spent 2 weeks advertising other people's game sites for free. Ad sense has been better (of course), but still the money made hasn't been that great. I'm deciding what to do about it now.
Well I do it for the love of games anyway, right? Right?
(America was great btw.)

The Quarterly Labour Force Survey for Quarter 2 of 2015 was released by Statistics South Africa today.
The DA in the Eastern Cape is concerned with the continued high number of unemployed people in the province.
The pain of unemployment is not simply felt in people's stomachs but also in their hearts when they lose their sense of purpose and dignity.
The marginal decrease in the unemployment rate from 29, 6% to 29, 1% gives little measure of comfort for the 980 000 people that are unemployed.
The Eastern Cape, with an expanded rate of unemployment of 42, 5%, remains the highest in the country. The Nelson Mandela Metropole, which should be an engine of economic growth, has the highest unemployment rate of all metros, at 33, 2%.
The people of this province will only experience true freedom from the shackles of poverty when they have access work opportunities.
The ANC-government with its hostile attitude to business is holding back our economy. The latest visa regulations are an example if this. Under a DA-government tourism would be a real game- changer for this province.
A DA-government would cut red tape, ensure value for money on infrastructure spending, support entrepreneurs and roll out the red carpet for investors.
The Eastern Cape can be a province of rising opportunity for all. We need to restore dignity and hope to the people of this province by creating real opportunity that is uncorrupted by patronage-politics.

On July 27, the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) hosted the opening reception for their current exhibit, BUILDing Forward. The exhibit features projects that demonstrate the future of building processes and materials. Sponsored by the Autodesk BUILD Space, the show promotes projects that approach buildings and infrastructure as "socially and physically connected, sustainable, resilient, and beautiful."
Material tests and plans for the WinterLight Pavilion are one featured project. The pavilion is a Sasaki-led design that will be temporarily installed on the Rose Kennedy Greenway this winter.
Below are photos from the opening reception of the exhibit, which is on display at the BSA Space until October 6. Read more about the WinterLight Pavilion here.

Generation Y is an age group of more than 80 million members who will eventually fuel the housing industry. However, since the recent recession put most plans to purchase a home on hold, the influence that Millennials will soon wield over the housing industry is currently being pent up and stored away until they can confidently step into the market.
So who is driving the slow recovery of the U.S. housing market then?
It's Generation X.
Often called the Forgotten Generation, those aged roughly between 35 and 45 years old are currently the largest percentage of recent home buyers and sellers, and are leading the way in the housing recovery.
While most Baby Boomers are waiting patiently before purchasing their next house, their Generation Y children are living at home with them, or renting cheap apartments and trying save their money without spending too much at bars and restaurants…or spending all of it by going back to college.
Either way, they're in no hurry.
In the meantime, Generation X is out to buy a house. The world doesn't stop turning because the economy is in the doldrums, and those who can afford to do so are moving into a second home, or purchasing an investment property for the future.
The time is now for Generation X.
Here are a few notes taken from the 2013 Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends Survey by NAR:
- Generation X is currently driving the housing industry, as they are the largest group of recent home buyers and sellers – 31% and 30%, respectively.
Look who's all caught up!
- 96% of Gen X used the internet at some point during their search, which is about the same as their younger and notoriously tech-savvy counterparts, Gen Y.
- 46% of Gen X looked online for properties as their first step in the process. This is more than Gen Y.
- Furthermore, 47% of Gen X eventually found their home on the internet.
- In terms of what they value in a web site, 86% of Gen X valued photos, 82% valued detailed information on a listing, and 46% valued a virtual video tour.
Finally, take a look at the characteristics of those who looked online for their home.
- 71% were married, which is unsurprising. However, 14% were single females.
We use this information to better market to Generation X where they look for homes, since they are the ones in the driver's seat right now. We make sure you are online, have quality photographs/videos of your listings, and have all the right information to successfully sell your home to the buying audience!
Please contact me to help you sell your home and find the home of your dreams!
Make it a great day!

'Why I'm not proud to call Buhari my president' - Femi Aribisala
How did you come about your claim that INEC rigged the election for Buhari?
There are certain things that are interesting about this election. The first one is that it is one of the most keenly contested elections that we have had in this country. It involved more people. But 10 million less people voted than last time, which gives us some idea as to how true some of the figures we have been having before had been.

Have stayed at The Lake Motel many times and it is always spot on. Clean, tidy, quiet, quirky design features, comfortable, good value for money and lovely hosts. I can't recommend The Lake highly enough.
Thanks Tony and Di, great place you have & well looked after.It is a bonus that you are dog friendly to our Labradoodle. We will come stay again.
We were traveling with our dog and needed somewhere pet friendly and off the main road. The Lake fitted the bill well and was good value. We'll stay there again on our way home. There was a great cafe for brunch very close by.
Great place to stay. Super value, clean, comfortable, beautifully furnished. Treat yourself, you won't regret it.
Friendly welcoming owner. We travelled with our small dog and had one of the pet friendly units which was clean and comfortable but the noisy fridge woke us several times during the night. The unit was close to a busy road and had no fencing, ok for a dog with road sense but we just had to keep doors closed or keep ours on a leash.

Beatlemania hit New Zealand in June 1964, as this footage makes clear. Welcoming 'the Fab Four' to Auckland after they arrive from Wellington, Mayor Sir Dove-Myer Robinson repeatedly asks the noisily enthusiastic crowd to "hold it please". He shakes John Lennon's finger, and the Beatles lark around with poi and attempt to hongi members of a Māori culture group. George Harrison also features in a short opening interview. Lennon threatened not to perform unless police protection was upgraded, after the Beatles encountered large crowds while arriving at their hotel.
In May 1871 Auckland became a city. One hundred years later reporter Hamish Keith looks back to see how Auckland developed and ahead to where it is going. In 1971 600,000 people lived in the greater Auckland area and it was rapidly expanding. Keith notes volcanoes, tribal war, pioneers, "booze and butter" booms, problematic bridges, PI influence, cars and suburbia; and muses on Auckland's "marching to its own drum" spirit. Anticipating Super City angst, then-Auckland mayor Sir Dove-Myer Robinson frets that sprawling unruly Auckland is a city in search of a soul.
Made six years after local TV broadcasting began, this wide-ranging 1966 documentary looks at the past and future of television in NZ. Political science lecturer Reg Harrison examines local content, a second channel, private enterprise, transmission challenges, editorial independence, sports coverage, and how TV's expansion has affected other pursuits, and children. The doco includes interviews with privacy-keen Gordon Dryden and film legend Rudall Hayward, and MPs. Director Gordon Bick later argued that the NZBC had allowed "a good deal of criticism against itself" on screen.
In this documentary, writer and satirist Peter Hawes crosses the Bombay Hills border in his Morris van to record his take on mid 1980s Auckland. Pocked with as many puns as Auckland has volcanic craters, Hawes' profile is a sprawling, breezy look at New Zealand's largest city: from a Chase Corporation high rise to shearing sheep in Cornwall Park; from Eden Park to Bastion Point. Interviews (with politicians, sportspeople, gossip columnists, strip club fashion designers) are mixed with skits covering jogging, bridge building, shipwrecks, multiculturalism and sewers.
This track by Auckland post-punk trio Blam Blam Blam became a theme song for the long, troubled winter of 1981, as New Zealand was wracked by division during the Springbok rugby tour. Poet and playwright Richard von Sturmer wrote the lyrics; the music was by Blams drummer Don McGlashan. The video features the band after dark on the roof of TVNZ's old Shortland Street studios in Auckland, alongside fleeting shots of Kiwi celebrity lawnmowing. The dancing Marmite and Vegemite jars were originally created for a piece of political theatre written by von Sturmer.
This 'alternative' version of New Zealand history was made by the team behind Eating Media Lunch. Channelling Kenneth Cumberland —presenter of heavyweight 80s series Landmarks— Jeremy Wells plumbs the TV archives to poke fun at New Zealand, and its people. Some excruciating hilarity is mined from artifacts of visitation to southern shores, from Bill Clinton to the Beatles. Muhammad Ali's fast food tastes down under are examined; the Dalai Lama finds bad karma in Christchurch; Charles and Diana visit in 1981; and mirth is mined from all things ovine.
The Governor was a television epic that examined the life of Governor George Grey in six thematic parts. Grey's "Good Governor" persona was undercut with laudanum, lechery and land confiscation. NZ TV's first (and only) historical blockbuster was hugely controversial, provoking a parliamentary inquiry and "test match sized" audiences. It won a 1978 Feltex Award for Best Drama. Auckland Star reviewer Barry Shaw trumpeted: "It has made Māori matter. If Pākehā now have a better understanding of the Māori point of view [...] it stems from The Governor.
This documentary goes behind the scenes on New Zealand television's first historical blockbuster: 1977 George Grey biopic The Governor. Presenter Ian Johnstone looks at how the show reconstructed 19th Century Aotearoa, and handled large scale battle scenes. The footage provides a fascinating snapshot of a young industry. Also examined is The Governor's place in 1970s race politics and its revisionist ambitions. Key players interviewed include creators Keith Aberdein and Tony Isaac, and actors Don Selwyn, Corin Redgrave, Martyn Sanderson, and Terence Cooper.

|Postoperative Complications Hernia
|Procedure: Prosthetic repair of abdominal incisional hernia
|Not Applicable
Between 3 to 20% of patients who received a midline laparotomy will develop an incisional hernia.
Primary suture of the defect is associated with a recurrence rate between 25 and 50%.Mesh repair is superior with regard to the recurrence (12-20%), but early postoperative complications include infections, hematomas and seromas.
Some advocate the use of drains in order to diminish secretions and complications. Other claim that drains increase the complication's rate.
In the absence of a randomized controlled trial it's not clear whether drainage could influence positively or negatively the occurence of such complications when performing a prosthetic repair of abdominal incisional hernia.
The aim of this study is to answer this question, comparing prospectively two groups of operated patients: the former with drainage and the latter without.

A year ago, we featured on this blog a new direct download link (DDL) forum for high definition video called HD-Dump. The launch of a new forum or a private torrent tracker of this sorts is not so surprising these days as new sites pop up almost on a daily basis. Therefore, some of you may have disregarded the post about HDD thinking it was yet another site that jumped in on the bandwagon. However, HD Dump has proved that it's here to stay by passing the test of time – the site has now been online for a full year and its first birthday was celebrated last week. During this time HD Dump has done well both in terms of adding new members as well as expanding the amount of video content it indexes. The site now has a good mix of high definition content including 720p, 1080p movies, BRRip, MicroHD and untouched TrueHD movies, TV shows to documentaries, anime and even sports. It is also one of the more cleaner looking DDL forums out there with no advertisements, no duplicate threads and no password protected files.
Quoted below is a mass E-mail sent to all existing members from the HDD administration:
HD-Dump turns 1 !!
Hi all. It's been a full year since we started HD-Dump, and we're very happy with how things have turned out.As high definition enthusiasts, we started HD-Dump as an answer to what we really felt other forums weren't giving.We wanted a clean and neat environment where HD enthusiasts can visit and easily find what they're looking for, and we hope that's what we've been able to provide you with.
So, a year has come and gone, and our community has grown very nicely over time. As of now, we have a tremendous member base of over a whopping 6,500 members and now getting well over 2,000 unique visits every day. We have almost 1,000 different 720p movies and well over 500 1080p.
We at HD-Dump would like to thank all of you for all your great support and feedback, which helps make HD-Dump what it is today. And if you haven't visited us for a while, you're always welcome to come back and say hello
The HD-Dump team.
The statistics mentioned above are indeed true. As of 21/2/2011, HDD indexes around 1000 720p movies, 500 1080p movies, ~100 mHD and BRRip releases, 150+ untouched TrueHD movies, 75+ HD documentaries among other releases (this is not counting the ~1000 uploads in adult section).
Some of you might remember that HDD launched with a self enforced rule set and a goal to become one of the more cleaner DDL forums out there. Some of these rules were:
- No passwords whatsoever allowed in any files.

Children change their minds ALL THE TIME! (except that is when it would actually be really handy of them to have a change of heart of course.) When planning a theme for Aiden's new bedroom then I decided to go with a Lego theme because it is the one thing he actually has never grown bored off and I knew I could combine several themes within it. For example lot of bright, multicolours would be appropriate as well as anything that could come from Lego City like all the emergency services and construction items. Lego as I am sure you know, is pretty expensive, and so to is official Lego items so I have been doing a combination of 'real' Lego and also some good old homemade Lego themed bits and bobs. This week I up-cycled an old magnetic black board to become a Lego ideas board. Practical and also adds more colour to the room. It can easily be adapted for whichever theme your kid has in their room or likes so thought I would share.
You will need:
- Item to make themed such as magnetic board , chalk board or pin board
- PVA glue
- Paintbrush
- Themed wrapping paper
- Scissors
How to make:
Once you have decided on which type of activity board you want to decoupage and you have got the wrapping paper it really is very simple to make. A little tip when picking the wrapping paper design; pick one with a small design and the characters/illustrations close together as most likely the frame wouldn't be particularly thick so you will have limited surface area to show the design on.
Cut the wrapping paper to the length of one side of the frame and thick enough to fold round the side and back a little. Cover that side of the frame in PVA glue and then press the paper into place. Depending on how big the frame is, use something like a can of beans or two to rest it on whilst the glue is drying because if you lie it down flat on the glue you are going to get it stuck to that surface! Repeat this for all four sides and then cover the top of the paper also in glue to create a protective layer. If you really want, when the glues dry you can varnish it. I usually do with decoupaged furniture but didn't actually bother with this frame as it won't be climbed on etc.
That is it. It really is that simple and can be highly effective and super cheap and quick to do to! Aiden loved his special Lego board and we added some Lego stickers just because we could and he lived helping make it. What theme would your kids go for?

|This cartoon is politically incorrect
at a time when the gun control issue
is a serious controversy.
So apply your sense of humor
...that's right
...I knew you had one
and move on to the meat
of this article. Are you smiling, yet?
I am.
The part about writing I like the most is the research. If I already know my subject, where's the fun? Where's the challenge? Where's the learning curve? And, I take it for granted. I use what I know in my character development, in location, and relationships. Plots I get to play with.
The downside to research is that it can inspire the most creative thoughts or stop progress in its tracks.
Here's the process:
An original idea forms. During the initial research the idea develops, takes form and substance from your information gathering. That's when I can't wait to further research the details and put them down on paper (or napkins or into my smart phone or the computer). If I have to go back and do more research...yeah! Well, let's just say I have to stay focused and in control.
I have to approach the research with specific questions in mind. What am I researching and why? Knowing the answer to those questions is imperative to finding the material and then moving on. Surfing through endless data on the net will only put your ideas into overload mode. Deal with one problem or idea at a time. Set other concepts aside to use later or in other books, but stay true to your original task. Periodically, even during editing, inspiration hits me. I have to add a new detail then follow up to make sure I've covered all the finer points, before and after, to include it.
Some story lines don't required much research. The 'fun' ones entail a lot of exploration into a subject that fascinates me. What about you? Right? Islands in the Pacific, the weight of a body on Mars, the type of vehicle with the most security, and on and on. The Pacific island research can lead to weather, or the history of the south Pacific or ... You get my point.
Among everything I research, and I mean that literally (everything interests me), I've become fascinated with researching 'the art of writing', which can be dangerous for the creative process in one way and good in another. Improving the manuscript is always a plus. Studying and improving your craft should be every professional's goal. But beware!
Overwriting potentially destroys the author's voice (you know--that special something that has readers looking for all your other books when they finish this one). Do not use this as an excuse to be sloppy or lazy about your writing. I'm not saying to ignore the craft. I'm saying brush up 'before' you start to write the book and make a few notes about what points you'd like to concentrate on for this particular project. It would be nice to get it perfect every time, but for now, work on the finer points.
For instance: Maybe you write great dialogue and often forget to describe the setting or what the characters are doing during their conversations. Focus on adding these elements to your work.
Another example could be to apply previous critique suggestions to your current WIP. Do you have a problem with POV or lack of deep POV? Check your scenes for this or focus on it as you write.
Make a bullet list of issues you recognize about your own writing style from the past and check it often during your process to confirm you're dealing with your major problems. Before you start to write the scene, visualize it. Your mind is the camera and your words are the film. Plan how you will show the scene to the reader, step by step. What does the POV character see first, feel first, hear or do first? Then, what next?
Balance. My personal favorite. Know your characters. I mean know them down to the mole on their backside and the scar on their knee from when they fell off their bike at five years old. Don't tell the reader all the details, but know them. Some will be important for the reader to know, some will be important for the author to write the character's reactions and actions. The past defines who we are and how we react.
Great dialogue without description belongs in a screenplay so the director can develop the story the way he wants. In your novel, you are the author. You are the director. Write the details but don't overdo it. Be careful. Those details should move the story forward not slow down the pace.
What happens when you have the opening, a great middle and the end, but somewhere between the middle and the end (that special place where you must tie up all the loose ends to get your characters to that ending) you aren't sure what is going to happen? (I'm here in three books right now.) The ending is loosely written, but you're at the fork in the road. To write this scene properly, you have to commit to the ending first. What I'm discovering is if you have to, take both forks. Write the ending both ways and see what suits you best. Doing the extra work will save precious time and mental anguish in the long run, instead of chewing your nails over writer's block. You're not blocked. You're uncommitted. Make a decision and move forward. I'm going to.
These are just a few thoughts I had for today. Do you have anything to add? Any words of encouragement for struggling authors or thoughts about researching and the writing process?
~~ Eliza

Planbox Press Release – Alberta Blue Cross Selects Planbox as its Strategic Innovation Management Solution
Montreal, Canada – Alberta Blue Cross has identified innovation as a strategic enabler for its ten-year vision. The focus is to build an innovative culture in which employee ideas are truly valued. Alberta Blue Cross will use Planbox to invite its employees to share their suggestions on company-wide, departmental and team challenges.
All 1,000+ employees of Alberta Blue Cross will use Planbox across all its branch offices around the province. Once the innovation team has some experience with the tool, Alberta Blue Cross expects to use Planbox as an open innovation solution to solicit ideas from its valued customers.
Alberta Blue Cross Executive Committee (EC) asked participants in its future leaders program to generate recommendations to help build an innovative culture. This included the corporate innovation team whose task was to recommend a digital approach to gathering ideas from Alberta Blue Cross employees. The company first contacted Planbox in March 2016 and began a long and thorough evaluation process along with several other ideation and innovation management applications. Planbox made the short list of three applications selected for a demo to the majority of Alberta Blue Cross future leaders as well as an Application Architect in the IT area. The evaluation team then recommended Planbox to the EC. Following a demo, EC also liked the look of Planbox and its potential to move Alberta Blue Cross innovation program forward. The purchase of Planbox was approved in the summer of 2017.
According to reviewer ratings, Planbox was the most complete and flexible solution available. Planbox offered a great deal of support and documentation before any contract was signed. During the demo, Planbox was able to present all of the functionality Alberta Blue Cross required, and any unique requests were greeted with a positive response in terms of getting it done.
Alberta Blue Cross metrics for the first year are focused on building an innovative culture revolving around gauging all of the initiatives Alberta Blue Cross is launching and whether they have made a difference in terms of involving Alberta Blue Cross employees in this innovation movement. With respect to Planbox, Alberta Blue Cross will be looking not only at the number of ideas that have been generated per challenge or innovation activity but also their quality.
"Planbox shows great potential for allowing us to tap into the innovative potential of our employees. The challenge-based approach lends itself very well to inviting employee input on issues that impact our ability to realize our vision and operational plans. We are also excited about the reporting capabilities Planbox has." stated Mark Razzolini, VP of People, Wellness and Innovation and Chair of the company's multi-functional and multi- level Innovation Leadership Team.

HP learned a little too late that just matching the specs and the price of the iPad isn't enough, and you had a chance to cash in on the company's pain over the weekend when the price of the HP TouchPad 16GB dropped to $99 and the 32GB swooned to $150 But the stampede of customers suddenly interested in the TouchPad means you probably won't find one at that price. Early adopters can even get in touch with HP and Best Buy to ask for a refund on the difference.
There were plenty of ways HP could have generated interest in the TouchPad without giving it away, but that time has passed, and so has your chance for a $99 TouchPad. Best Buy is sold out and even NewEgg is out of stock on the 32GB model and it has discontinued the 16GB configuration. Short of taking your chances on sites such as eBay, here are a few places you might still find the ToughPad, albeit without a discount.
- Amazon is the obvious first choice when it come to online vendors. It still offers the TouchPad in both 16GB and 32GB starting from $352 and $380, respectively.
- Buy.com has sellers offering the TouchPad ranging in price from $399 to $590, and the site itself has a 4.5-star rating on Google product search.
- Sears also still carries the TouchPad, starting price at $428 and climbing as high as $522.
- Mwave has Touchpads in stock ranging from $405 to $490.

Three Australians: Nikki Campbell, Sarah King and Whitney Hillier and New Zealand's Cathryn Bristow have earned their full playing rights for the 2013 Ladies European Tour.
ACT's Campbell, who is a 10 year veteran of the LPGA of Japan, finished in a tie for second position at 19-under-par after firing a final round of six-under 66 on the Al Maaden golf course in Marrakech, Morocco.
The 32-year-old said after her round "I played well today, so it was good. I'm really happy."
"I've always wanted to come and play here so I've been playing in Japan the last ten years and things were getting the same old, so just the same thing all the time, something new is pretty exciting."
"I'm looking forward to going home. It's been a while since I've been home so it should be nice. I'll go home to Canberra and stay for a while. The Women's Australian Open is at my home club next year in February, so that should be fun."
For Sarah King it wasn't an easy day at all. The South Australian started the final round inside the top 10, however she hit a major hurdle when she took a nine on the par four 5th hole. King showed composure beyond her young years to recover and post a three-over 75 to finish at eight-under-par and tied for 20th position.
The rookie professional was ecstatic afterwards, "It means the world; all the hard work that I've put in since I started golf at 12 years old. This is what we live for: to be able to play professional golf, have a full card on the tour."
"I had a pretty good start, a couple of pars and then a birdie and then had a bit of a mind lapse on the fifth hole and over clubbed and hit it in the water and then hit it in the water again with my chip shot and made nine on that hole, so I had to re-group from there. "
"It was probably mentally the toughest game of golf I've ever played but I think I got there in the end, so it was a bit of a struggle."
Whitney Hillier was the final Australian to finish in the top 30, the West Australian posted a 73 to finish at nine-under-par and tied for 17th position.
For Kiwi, Bristow, a two-under-par 70 moved her seven-under-par which was the magic number for the top 30 playing cards.
Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn won the Lalla Aicha Tour School Final Stage by five shots from England's Emily Taylor and Campbell.

What began as a mob shoot-out escalated into a full-blown superhuman slugfest when the vigilante known as Spider-Man appeared on the scene. An argument inside the Zero One Lounge turned ugly when reputed mob enforcer, "Fancy" Dan Brito, pulled a gun on rivals from the Manfredi crime family. As club-goers fled onto the streets of the Meatpacking District, Spider-Man dropped down out of the sky.
Not content to merely take the law into his own hands, bystanders claimed that Spider-Man mocked the thugs as he delivered a one-two punch that sent them soaring.
"It was hard to see from where I was hiding," said witness Andrea Moore of Park Slope, "but I heard someone, I'm pretty sure it was Spider-Man, say, 'I hope you're not afraid of heights,' and then one of those guys screamed as he landed on top of a fire escape."
When pressed about any crimes she may have witnessed Spider-Man committing, Moore replied, "Crimes? It's not a crime to round up stray dogs. What the hell are you talking about?"
Spider-Man disappeared as police arrived to find a dozen mobsters restrained with unmistakable webbing. Brito and his accomplices, Jackson "Montana" Brice and Raymond "The Ox" Bloch, spent the night in the 10TH Precinct holding cell. The NYPD has yet to announce what charges, if any, they plan to bring against the smack-talking vigilante.
Brito, led away in handcuffs, was overheard describing the encounter with the web-slinger: "Just when I thought I was out, he pulled me back in."

Gilded Steam Ship - Bonus Challenge
"Get the Gits a Gig" is a Gilded Steam Ship - Bonus Challenge that becomes available after completing the main storyline challenges on the Gilded Steam Ship.
The challenge involves helping Billy and Bobby Webb get into the club to audition for a job as the club's band. The Webbs can be found near the club entrance on the first level.
There are three different solutions to the challenge:
Fancy Facade[edit]
Stack into one of the Webb brothers, then stack into one of the fancily dressed dolls that should be nearby (these are dolls wearing a black outfit and a fancy hat). Approach the bouncer outside the club door, who will allow passage into the club. Once inside the club, unstack from the fancy doll and walk the Webb brother up onto the stage.
Painted Black and White[edit]
Stack into one of the Webb Brothers and get a makeover from the artist on the second floor, then stack into the other Webb Brother and get him a makeover too. The club bouncer should now deem them well dressed enough to be allowed entry to the club. Enter the club and get up on stage.
Polly Got a Cracker[edit]
Stack into one of the Webb brothers and approach the pirate that can be found on the first level. He'll explain that he can help the Webbs get into the club, but first his parrot needs some food.
Head up to the buffet on the second level, unstack from the Webb brother, and stack into Gruel Chef Hornsby. Go back to the pirate and use the chef's "Poor Gruel Thickener" ability to feed the parrot. Get back to the Webb brothers, unstack from the chef, and stack back into one of the Webbs. Go back to the pirate and stack into him, then speak to the bouncer outside the club. The pirate will offer the password and the bouncer will allow access to the club. Unstack from the pirate and get on stage.

All the things one thinks about when building a stash.
I'm a novice quilter. I've only been at it some 5 odd years.
But in that time I'd started and stopped projects. I've tried new things and quickly lost interested. I've birthed a child and ended or started a relationship in between.
So my stash has been sorely neglected.
What is a stash? Well, it's like pirate booty. A storage of material waiting to be used.
Since learning about charm packs, jelly roles, honey buns and layer cakes, I've started collecting them. There are so many different sets and I can see a use for them all. It's nice to know, too, that the stress of cutting is taken care of.
I'm a horrible cutter. Couldn't cut a straight line to save my life.
With these pre-cut kits, the hardest part is done for me. So I just start laying out my pieces and stitch them together and VOILA!
A quilt is born.

Leigh Port
Help us to collate background information
Leigh-on-Sea has benefited from an established fishing community for centuries. This community has been important in shaping how the area has developed. However, in recent times the fishing industry has come under increasing pressures, in part due to the silting up of Leigh Creek which restricts vessel access. The traditional and active fishing port of Leigh-on-Sea is the last of its kind within the Thames Estuary. Therefore, it is important to establish sustainable solutions for long-term access to the port.
This Leigh Port Infrastructure Feasibility and Options Appraisal Study is a priority project and seeks to identify cost effective solutions to improve long-term sustainable access to Leigh Port for all vessels. The objectives of the study are
- Find cost effective and sustainable solutions to improve the long-term access to Leigh Port by all vessels.
- Identify opportunities for effective long-term management and operation of port facilities.
- Establish solutions which are compatible with the natural environment.
- Provide solutions that support the aspirations for the future of Leigh Port as set out in the FLAG Local Development Scheme."
This is a first stage study that will consider evidence from the feedback that you provide to this consultation alongside other technical, financial and environmental information that is available. Further studies will be required before any final scheme is identified, and it may be the case that there are no feasible options given. Therefore no guarantees on future actions or implementation of schemes can be guaranteed.
Consultation "Drop-in' Events
There are two consultations events that will be happening in Old Leigh
- Friday 16th March between 10am-5pm at the Leigh Heritage Centre, 13a High Street, Old Leigh, SS9 2EN
- Thursday 22nd March between 2pm-9pm at the Leigh Heritage Centre, 13a High Street, Old Leigh, SS9 2EN
For paper copies of the options and this questionnaire and details of consultation events please email email@example.com or call us on 01702 215408 quoting Leigh Port consultation.
To have your say on this consultation please see the Stickyworld portal:
The consultation is open until Monday 5pm 23rd April 2018.

Ideas for the Mobility Strategy
Replace Landlines and Ethernet with Wireless Systems
Is the Federal government wants to truly go mobile, recommend eliminating all landline phones and replacing them with either employee-owned or government smartphones. This will not only save money, but make life easier for all Feds. Also, let's implement secure wireless systems to replace the old ethernet wired systems. This will allow more employees to work in less space, promote office-sharing, and provide true mobility... more »

Club officials from Bristol Rovers called upon supporters of the club to help ensure the Memorial Stadium pitch will not claim its second casualty in Swansea City.
Rovers clash with Cheltenham on Wednesday was called of due to the pitch being waterlogged. Director of football Lennie Lawrence has been sceptical of the match going ahead only giving it a 50/50 chance of going ahead.
This has led to a call from the club to supporters to pitch in and volunteer to help the ground staff to make sure the game goes ahead.
Stadium Manager Ian Holtby is has expressed concerns about the weather conditions expected this afternoon.
He spoke on :
Bristol Rovers Official site
|"At the moment the pitch is dry and the covers are in place,' 'But the forecast overnight and tomorrow isn't good, and we're expecting significant rainfall between now and when the game is scheduled to take place.'
As a result, we need to keep the covers over the pitch until as late as possible, so that if the heavens do open, the pitch is exposed for the minimal amount of time before kick-off.'
We've spoken to the contractors who have supplied the covers, and they have advised us that with about 20 people, they can be taken off the pitch in 20 to 30 minutes. So we're looking for that many people to come and lend a hand, to help make sure the game stays on.'
If we don't have that many people, then it will take longer which means we'll have to start earlier, and that means the pitch could be exposed to the rain for longer. Our fans have always been superb when we've asked for help like this before, and hopefully they'll come good for us again.'
For all the updates from the Memorial Stadium join us on Swansea Vital for our extensive coverage of the game including live chat , live updates , Live radio commentary and much more.

Yesterday I started to have lots of pain and it was getting pretty intense last night. I even had Marcus come home from the fire station. I am so glad I did.
I ended up miscarrying the baby on my own. That's probably not the right verb, but you get the picture. Anyway, it was the middle of the night and I hated every second of it. I kept telling Marcus, " I don't want to do this!" I didn't have a choice.
We called the dr this morning and I had to go in to make sure that I didn't have to have the surgery today. Thankfully I didn't. There is still more to go, but it shouldn't be as painful.
I am so grateful for all your well wishes and prayers. I appreciate it more than you will ever know.
I will give you all a review after my movie marathon!
