The German Diesel-Pneumatic Locomotive |
This 4-6-4 diesel-pneumatic loco was designed to solve the problem of power transmission between a diesel engine and the wheels. Time has shown that diesel-electric is the way to go, but in earlier years it was by no means obvious that dragging around a heavy generator and lots of electric motors and associated control equipment was a good idea.
The diesel-pneumatic locomotive was planned in 1924, an order being placed on the 18th September 1924 in response to a quotation made on the 11th April 1924. Construction took five years rather than the planned single year, which indicates some pretty serious technical difficulties had to be overcome.
Completed in 1929, V3201 was the first high-performance Diesel loco on the Deutsch ReichsBahn. It used the MAN Lo6 Vu 45/42 engine, originally developed for use in U-boats. (surprise, surprise) It was a six-cylinder 1000/1200hp engine direct-coupled to a MAN 2-cylinder double-acting single-stage air compressor. Air was delivered at 7 Bar. (102 psi) The design speed was 70 km/hr and the weight in operating condition 70 tons; the maximum axle loading was 18 tons.
Above: The internals of the V3201. The big block in the middle is the diesel engine; to the right of it is the compressor.
It is a fundamental problem with pneumatic power transmission that a lot of energy is released as heat during compression. Usually this has to be dissipatedby either water-jacketing or water injection into the cylinders. On the other hand compressed air usually cools naturally before reaching the point where it is applied, making the overall process very inefficient. This locomotive tackled the problem by heating the air further after it left the compressor, using the diesel exhaust in long tubular heat exchangers, and this very hot air, at 320°C, then drove pistons exactly as if it was steam. I would imagine that the cylinder lubrication required some thought; steam is not so bad as condensation provides a measure of inherent lubrication, but the hot air would have been very dry indeed. On the other hand, air cools down considerably when it is expanded, (see the page on compressed-air propulsion) and this would have reduced the cylinder wall temperatures.
Despite this measure to make the air hot when it reached the cylinders, it was still necessary to cool the compressor cylinders. This was done by water injection directly into the cylinders, introducing the need to carry around and refill tanks of water. Thus there was a certain small proportion of steam in the working fluid, but it would not qualify as an aero-steam engine. According to one source there was no water-jacketing of the compressor cylinders at all, which may have simplified the design but sounds like a mistake. This is however contradicted by the book quoted below, and it appears that water-jacketing was used.
Above: V3201 from the other side. The long tubes at the right are the exhaust heat-exchangers.
On 10th April 1931, the British journal The Railway Gazette reported that the locomotive had successfully completed twelve months of testing by November 1930, during which it exceeded its design speed by 25 mph for long periods. On stripping it down there was no significant scaling due to the compressor water injection. It was reported that the officials of the Deutsche Reichsbahn were thoroughly satisfied with the trial results, and that the locomotive was being transferred to the hilly district around Stuttgart, and put into service for further test observations.
Nonetheless, it appears not to have been a total success; five years after it was delivered to the DRG, it was taken out of service, and the design was not repeated. Investigations are proceeding, but at the moment the only suggestion found as to why is that the compressor was prone to overheating despite the water injection. The technology was also expensive compared with steam engines. It is probably significant that this remains a unique experiment in Diesel-Pneumatic propulsion.
Above: V3201 with its casing in place; note plenty of windows for the engine compartment. There appear to be relief valves at the the bottom of the cylinder.
This picture presents a puzzle. The first two pictures above show the radiators at the opposite end from the cylinders, but here we see radiators at the cylinder end- I suspect that after initial construction, a second set of radiators were added so the loco could be driven in either direction. There appear to be driving positions at each end. At the extreme right it is just possible to make out a fan blade and a circular fan housing for radiator cooling.
The following information is extracted with the kind help of Patrick Meeder from the book "Verbrennungs-Motor-Lokomotiven und Triebwagen" (Combustion-Engine Locomotives and Railcars) by Professors Franco and Labrijn, published in 1932. This book is available in German and French; I am not aware of an English version. Attilio Franco was also one half of the Franco-Crosti boiler partnership.
Locomotive technical data:
The locomotive was built by Maschinenfabrik Esslingen. The MAN Diesel engine was apparently also supplied to Russia for 1E1 locomotives. The book states that this kind of diesel-pneumatic drive is more efficient than a diesel engine with direct mechanical drive, as the thermal energy in the diesel exhaust is used to heat the air, instaed of being wholly lost.
Cold water was sprayed into the compressor cylinders to minimise the temperature rise and so improve the compression efficiency. The injection pump could be controlled so the air temperature did not rise above 200
degrees Celsius. Without water injection, the compressor could operate for a period (one half to three quarters of an hour) but at lower efficiency. To reduce scale formation in the compressor cylinders, the injection water was heated by the diesel exhaust to 100-120 °C (presumably under pressure or it would have boiled) so the scale would be deposited in a heater where it would do no harm and could be easily removed. The compressed air therefore contains some water vapour, which would have remained as steam because of the subsequent exhaust heating. However, because of the powerful effect of cooling on expansion, it is possible that water might have condensed in the driving cylinders under some conditions, and that is why they are shown with relief valves to prevent damage.
Expansion in the driving cylinders was regulated the same way as in a steam engine: the air from the heater to the locomotive cylinders passed via a regulator valve. The driving cylinders appear to have conventional valve-gear so it is likely that the air admission cutoff could also be varied, as in steam practice.
Compressor technical data:
The locomotive had three coolers, for compressor cylinder cooling water, compressor injection water for
compressor, and for the lubricating oil. Coolers were located at both ends. (Presumably the injection water cooler was needed to cool the water down again after it had been heated to remove the scale)
On 22nd November 1929 a long test run was done with a 233 ton train from Stuttgart to Augsburg on a "Schnellzug" (express passenger) timetable, over the Geislinger Steige ("Steige" means "Increase" or slope) which is 6 km long with a gradient of 1:40. At a speed of 20 km/h here the diesel engine was not fully "belasted". I have been unable to translate that, but it presumably means the maximum power was not fully utilised. Even in heavy conditions, with severe curves on the 'hill', the train could pull away from standstill faster than a steam locomotive of the same size. The size and working of the coolers was such, that the cooler fan motors were not needed on this test run and the water was cooled by the passing air.
The locomotive was withdrawn and apparently scrapped in 1935.
Above: Marklin model V3201
You will be glad to know this remarkable locomotive is not wholly forgotten. Marklin have produced what appears to be a limited edition model:
Above: Marklin model V3201
Bizarrely, the V3201 showed up again on stamps issued by the Pacific atoll of Vaitupu, Tuvalu, on the 16th January 1986.
Above: Stamps issued by Vaitupu, Tuvalu in 1986 showing the V3201
The astute among you will have recognised that this is not strictly a steam locomotive, even if it looks rather like one because of the external driving cylinders. However, there was a little steam involved...

This picture appears to show the locomotive partially assembled, with coolers only fitted at the right.
On the left is a bank of coolers; these appear to be festooned with wires, probably for test thermocouples.
You will note that the weight specified, and several other parameters, differ from those given at the start of this page. At present it is not known which is correct.

A knowledge of the vascular supply is essential to understand liver structure and function. The main blood and lymph vessels, bile ducts, and nerves enter or leave the liver through the hilus. Branches of these structures and their associated connective tissue bed ramify throughout the gland. Some branches of this network are known as portal areas (triads) which contain segments of the hepatic portal vein, the hepatic artery, and the bile duct, together with lymphatic vessels and nerve fibers. Terminal ramifications of the portal vein leave the portal areas and connect with capillary sinusoids which converge toward a central vein. Central veins drain into progressively larger sublobular veins, which, in turn, converge to form hepatic veins draining into the inferior vena cava.
The multiple functions of the liver are carried out mainly by two types of cells: the parenchymal cells (hepatocytes), which release substances into bile canaliculi and into blood and lymph channels, and the Kupffer cell which may form a part of the lining of blood sinusoids and are phagocytic. The remainder of the sinusoidal lining consists of squamous cells which constitute a discontinuous endothelium. The parenchymal cells are organized into anastomosing plates one or two cells thick. These plates are arranged in a radial pattern originating around the central veins, but they form a continuous network throughout many lobules at the areas around the portal vessels. Between the parenchymal cells and endothelial cells, there is an intervening narrow gap (space of Disse) best seen under the E.M.
Examine the human liver in slide #62 beginning with low power (10x). First identify two essential landmarks: (1) the central veins which are isolated, thin-walled open vessels usually filled with blood with branched sheets of cells converging upon them in radial pattern and (2) the portal areas which are roughly triangular connective tissue spaces containing preterminal portal veins, arteries of much smaller caliber than the vein and one or more bile ducts lined with a cuboidal epithelium. Note that the central veins have several portal areas arranged around them and pick out several classical lobules (areas drained by one central vein). This pattern will probably be more clearly seen in a slide of injected liver which will follow. The hepatic veins into which central veins empty do not have sinusoids draining into them.
Under high magnification, examine the sheets of parenchymal cells (hepatocytes) and the intervening blood sinusoids lined with endothelial and phagocytic cells. The position of these cell types, relative to each other, is most easily seen in the vicinity of the central vein. In parenchymal cells, the nuclei and nucleoli are very distinct, and the pronounced size differences of these nuclei are usually due to polyploidy (i.e., cells with exact multiples of the basic chromosome number). Binucleated and multinucleated cells may also be found in normal adult human livers. Study electron micrographs of parenchymal cells. Note the abundance of both rough and smooth ER. Endothelial cell nuclei are darkly stained and appear flattened against the parenchymal cells although actually separated by the space of Disse. Kupffer cell nuclei are rounded or triangular and bulge into the sinusoidal lumen. Some leukocytes are also found in the sinusoidal lumen.
Now study the blood circulation pattern in a liver section from an animal whose vascular system has been emphasized by means of injection through the hepatic veins (slide #63 in odd numbered boxes). The area of the sinusoids is greatly increased relative to that of parenchymal cells owing to increased reverse pressure as well as filling of the vascular tree. This somewhat resembles the histological appearance of the liver in congestive heart failure, where there has been a backing up of blood on the drainage side of the vascular system. Identify the various types of lobules (for a description of the lobular arrangement refer to your text). In slide #63 (odd), find central veins with red tracks radiating out from them (sinusoids), and identify the shape of a classical lobule. Try to find portal areas containing portal venules, hepatic arterioles, and bile ducts. Next, identify a "functional acinus". Identify two central veins clearly separated by a terminal portal branch. The latter forms a "watershed" as the sinusoids are seen to drain on either side into one or other of the central veins. The functional acinus is a diamond with the two central veins at opposite poles and the terminal portal vessels as an axis. Note that the central veins and terminal portal veins are approximately at right angles whereas the pre-terminal portal veins are nearly parallel to the central veins. This is due to the fact that the terminal branches of the portal vein leave the parent vessel at an angle.
The liver secretes materials into both the blood [endocrine function] and the gut [exocrine function]. In the latter case, parenchymal cells secrete bile into the bile canaliculi which are continuous, tiny, tubular spaces between adjoining parenchymal cells of a given cell sheet. They lie deep in the cell sheets, never coming into contact with the sinusoids. The walls of the canaliculi are formed by the plasma membranes of adjacent cells and are sealed by tight junctions.
Bile flows towards portal areas through bile canaliculi, cholangioles, interlobular ducts and finally into bile ducts. The cholangioles are lined with squamous epithelium and as they begin, there may be squamous epithelium on one side and a parenchymal cell on the other. Near terminal portal veins the cholangioles drain into the interlobular ducts lined with cuboidal epithelium and then into larger interlobular branches, present within the portal triad. As the ducts increase in size, their epithelium increases in height and becomes surrounded by a more distinct connective tissue sheath and are considered to be extra-hepatic. The extra-hepatic ducts are lined by columnar cells with microvillous borders, interspersed with a few goblet cells. The common bile duct sheath contains smooth muscle cells.
Bile canaliculi are difficult to find in H & E liver sections, but may be seen between adjacent liver cells in the specially stained (FeH) rat liver (slide #63 in even numbered boxes). They are smaller in diameter than nucleoli, and some appear as dots or dark-rimmed circles between adjacent parenchymal cells. Once they have been seen in cross-section (with oil immersion lens), locate some in longitudinal view (this is more difficult). You should be able to identify bile canaliculi by E.M.
Examine the EM of liver.
Examine the human gall bladder (slide #64). When contracted, its mucosal surface is thrown into numerous ridges and folds. Some sections may show diverticula or downward projections of lumen into the connective tissue and muscle coats. The epithelium of the gall bladder is tall columnar, with basal nuclei. The cytoplasm in the region of the free edge appears to be thickened, and under the E.M. it has numerous microvilli. The lamina propria may contain mucous glands in sections cut near the neck of the gall bladder. Beneath the lamina propria, the muscularis consists of interlacing fascicles of smooth muscle fibers and abundant intervening c.t., forming a thin irregular fibromuscular coat. The peripheral connective tissue contains rather large blood and lymphatic vessels (in view of abundant water reabsorption from bile) and nerves, and it forms an adventitia (fibrosa) on the surfaces in contact with the liver. Other surfaces are covered with a serosa.

Zack And Sam The last
Making Me Available
Zack and Sam Part 7
After I had finished cleaning up and the others had all left Zack and Sam sat me down and explained that no one was allowed to fuck me until they had both done me. I then understood why when that guy in the police cell had put his finger near my hole someone had said to remember the rules. The boys sent me home instructing me to be naked at 2pm the next day with the front door unlocked and me on the bed
They did not put the cock cage back on me and I drove home realising that my old virgin ass would not be so soon. When I got home I threw off my clothes and got into bed before long my hand was working on my cockpit was so good to be free and I thought about all the things that had happened to me recently. It wasn't long before I was hard as a rock and groaning. My little cock exploded on my sheets as I had my second orgasm for over 2 weeks. I licked the cum off the sheets and eventually fell off to sleep.
It was about 10am when I woke up I showered and ate and read the paper. About 1.30 I was on the bed waiting. I was nervous as hell and about 2 I heard the door open and Zack walked into the bedroom. They had flipped a coin and Zack got to go first Sam would do me tomorrow and then the next day both would be here.Zack instructed me to undress him and I did. He noticed my shaking hands and said not to worry he would take it easy. Once I had him naked he instructed me to get him hard. I was on my knees and took his cock in my mouth. I really enjoyed the taste of cock and it wasn't long before Zack was rock hard. He told me to stop and he went to his pocket and got out a lubed condom. He told me that no matter who I was with safe sex was the only way. After he had slid on the condom he told me to get on the bed on all fours. I did and I felt so vulnerable .He spread some lube on my hole and put his cock at the entrance and he started into slid in to me. I cried out as it had really hurt but he was gentle and slow and kept pushing in until all his cock was inside me. Then he just left it in there allowing my hole to expand and then very slowly took it back out. He allowed me a moment before it went back in this time there was less pain. He was incredible. He told me he was going to speed up a little and so saying he began to fuck me and the pain subsided and I was moaning and liking it. He increased the pace fucking me faster and I was moaning louder. He pumped and pumped holding my hips and driving into me. I was loving it and my little cock was hard as a rock. All of a sudden he pulled out ripped off the condom and jerked himself till he shot hot cum on my ass .He told me to roll over and pull myself which I did and within a minute my cum hit my stomach. He then got me to lick his cock clean and I did. He dressed and left reminding me Sam would be there tomorrow and not to expect anything as gentle.
Of course he was right. From the moment Sam arrived it was rough. He pulled off his own clothes and dragged me by the hair to the ground to suck him off shoving his dick deep inside my throat till I gagged. Once he was satisfied he pulled on a condom and told me to lie on the side of the bed and he fucked me. He was rough as hell. He grabbed my hair and belted my ass as his cock invaded my ass.He told me I was a slut and a whore and I would be everybody's bitch. I did not enjoy it. His cock was longer and thicker than his brothers and the whole experience was really painful. When he was about to cu he grabbed my hair and jerked off on my face and wiped his slimy cock in my hair. He told me to be ready tomorrow.
At 2pm the next day my ass was still hurting from Sam's rough fuck but I was naked on the bed.Zack and Sam walked into the bedroom and as instructed I undressed Zack and sucked him till hard. Sam had removed his own clothes and grabbed my head and pushed his cock down my throat. He wasn't quite hard when he told me to get on the bed and lie on my back. He put his dick back in my mouth and Zack lifted my legs and gently fucked me as I sucked him Sam started working my tits twisting them and rubbing them as I looked at Zack whose face showed that he was enjoying my tail. He reached out and started playing with his brothers nipples and then I got the shock of my life .They kissed each other and then looked at me and laughed.Zack started pumping hard and shot on my stomach and then Sam took his place and tried to rip my ass apart while I cleaned Zack's cock.Sam's cum soon joined Zack's on my stomach and Sam got up and went to his bag and got out the cock cage.Zack's cock had gone limp in my mouth and Sam put the cage back on me.
So I had been deflowered and over the next week Carl, the bikers and the police all took a turn at my assume ass ached constantly for a month.Zack and Sam used me often and made it longer before I could jerk off, My life had changed so much and would continue to do so. I was a cock sucking slut who begged to be fucked and drink piss.I would be beaten, whipped and tortured and more. I no longer was in charge but yielded to my two brother masters Zack and Sam.

"Tralucent Audio Reference 1 – With Comparisons I would first like to give a huge thanks to Head-Fi member, warrior1975 for loaning me his Ref. 1 and TWau cable for review.

"I actually have the ES900m, which doesn't have microphone and control buttons, but the rest is the same. For $6 it's impossible to buy a pair of earphones as good as them.

I love the journey of the creative process and the constant learning and stretching it affords. Photography is my way of reaching out and connecting with people. While I often lack the right words, I've learned to make up for it in images. And it's rare, but when all the pieces fall together perfectly, the results change people and inspire them to live courageously - with purpose. Those times are what I live and work for!

As the information on the web increases exponentially, so do the efforts to automatically filter out useless content and to search for interesting content. Through both explicit and implicit actions, users define where their interests lie. Recent efforts have tried to group similar users together in order to better use this data to provide the best overall filtering capabilities to everyone.
This thesis discusses ways in which linear algebra, specifically the singular value decomposition, can be used to augment these filtering capabilities to provide better user feedback. The goal is to modify the way users are compared with one another, so that we can more efficiently predict similar users. Using data collected from the PhDs.org website, we tested our hypothesis on both explicit web page ratings and implicit visits data.

What's new with baby rhino King? Now up to 250 pounds, the little one has been outside more frequently, running laps in his yard and dashing in and out of the building. (He's also gotten good and muddy in the yard's wallow.)
Mom Kapuki still keeps the little one close, but Zoological Manager Laszlo Szilagyi reports she's a little more relaxed about King exploring his surroundings.
When's the best time to see King? He typically has outdoor access from 11 a.m.–4 p.m., although he's currently in the habit of taking a nap around 1 or 2 p.m. Like so much else, that will probably change as he grows!

Colours are essential for our life. As an artist himself Sri Chinmoy loved colours but he also had a feeling for which qualities come from particular colours. In 1974 the first edition of his book "Colour Kingdom" was published, presenting 52 different shades of colours together with the quality and one poem about the subject. In the next couple of weeks we will present you this series and today we conclude the series with VICTORY. Feel free to make the color larger (by clicking on it). A video summary of all 52 colours and their meaning (Length: 44:49 min) can be found here: vimeo.com.
"The victory of human love is confusing.
The vivtory of divine love is illumining.
The victorty of supreme love is fulfilling."

Finishing New Teen Titans: Games a Bit Hastily?
Early in the book a series of panels of Dick Grayson using Central Park as his own steeplechase course for a workout, silhouettes interspersed with full-figure sketches. This visual effect returns as Nightwing and his adversary fight as silhouettes stomping on a scale model of New York.
Pérez and his inking and coloring colleagues drop the solid lines and strong colors of the ordinary settings to depict Azarath, Raven's hellish home dimension. (See here for an early take on that page by colorist and collector Tom Smith.)
Despite being one of the DC graphic novel division's premium new books, however, Games shows signs of hasty production. On one page (see above) a misplaced borderless white box cuts off characters' feet. Presumably it was left over from some design program.
I spotted some panel lines incompletely erased, as in the example below. (Those panels also show how scripter Marv Wolfman, the editor, and the letterer made Nightwing's speech appear before the villain's even though it comes out of a later panel.)
The front- and backmatter are illustrated with images of the main characters cut out and enlarged from the pages in between. It's possible that those images were inked digitally, and they were certainly colored and finished on a computer. That means they were created to be printed at a certain size, with an appropriate dots-per-inch measurement.
Rather than rescan and rework Pérez's pencils at a higher resolution to make those big portraits look even more magnificent, the production team simply enlarged the images from the pages, resulting in jaggy lines. Beginner PhotoShop classes warn against doing that. Seeing the effect in a premium graphic novel makes the production look slapdash.

Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition
Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition
$2000 Awaits Winners of Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition
Writers of short fiction are encouraged to enter the 2010 Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition. The competition has a twenty-nine-year history of literary excellence, and its organizers are dedicated to enthusiastically supporting the efforts and talent of emerging writers of short fiction whose voices have yet to be heard.
Lorian Hemingway, granddaughter of Nobel laureate Ernest Hemingway, is the author of three critically acclaimed books:
Walking into the River, Walk on Water, and A World Turned Over.
Ms. Hemingway is the competition's final judge.
Prizes and Publication:
The first-place winner will receive $1,000. The second and third-place winners will receive $500 each. Honorable mentions will also be awarded to entrants whose work demonstrates promise.
The Saturday Evening Post To Publish First-Place Winner:
The Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition is pleased to announce that each year -- beginning with our 2009 competition -- The Saturday Evening Post will publish our first-place winner in its pages. And occasionally, the Post may also choose to publish our runners-up, either in its pages or on its website.
The Post will pay a fee to winners upon publication of his or her story, in addition to the $1,000 first-place prize given by the Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition. The Post's payment will be in keeping with the magazine's general rate structure for fiction at the time of publication. Entrants whose stories are published will allow The Post first serial rights, nonexclusive electronic (including online) rights, and nonexclusive anthology rights. This is a standard agreement for magazine publication.
For many years it has been our dream to be able to offer an assured publication for our first-place winner. The Saturday Evening Post, through its generosity and deep appreciation for new voices in literary fiction, has made that dream come true.
Breaking News:
"Lazarus" by 2009 Winner Gregory Loselle is Published in Jan/Feb 2010 Issue
Lorian Hemingway Joins The Post's Prestigious Fiction Advisory Board Along with New Members Robert Stone, Gary Svee and Ray Bradbury
Indianapolis, IN, February 4, 2010 - The Saturday Evening Post, the nation's oldest magazine, which traces its roots to Benjamin Franklin and is famous for covers that illustrate the lives and experiences of the American people, today announced its exclusive partnership with the internationally respected Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition, publishing 2009's winning story in its Jan/Feb 2010 issue. Joan SerVaas, chief executive officer and publisher of The Saturday Evening Post, made the announcement.
The Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition (www.shortstorycompetition.com), in its 30th year, supports and encourages the efforts of emerging writers of short fiction. As part of the partnership, The Post will have the first serial rights to and annually be the exclusive magazine publisher of the competition's winning story. "Lazarus," by 2009 winner Gregory Loselle, can be read in the magazine's current issue.
Throughout its history, The Saturday Evening Post has introduced and published fiction and poetry from a long list of celebrated writers, including Edgar Allan Poe, Kurt Vonnegut, Mark Twain, Jack London, Agatha Christie, William Faulkner, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The magazine's new alliance with the competition is part of The Post's recent restoration of fiction as an important component of its editorial mix.
"While it's important to tap into our vast archives of fiction, it is equally important for The Post to maintain its role as the leader in finding the next great American fiction writers, and forming this partnership is a significant step toward meeting that goal," said SerVaas."
Lorian Hemingway, author of the critically-acclaimed books Walk On Water, A World Turned Over and Walking Into The River, said, "For many years it has been our dream to be able to offer an assured publication for our first-place winner. The Saturday Evening Post, through its deep appreciation for new voices in literary fiction, has made that dream come true."
In addition to the alliance, Lorian Hemingway has joined The Post's prestigious Fiction Advisory Board, along with new members Robert Stone, Gary Svee and Ray Bradbury. The board advises the magazine's editors on fiction selections and recommends up-and-coming fiction writers.
Eligibility requirements for our 2010 competition are as follows:
What to submit:
- Stories must be original unpublished fiction, typed and double-spaced, and may not exceed 3,000 words in length. There are no theme restrictions. Copyright remains property of the author, with the exception of the first-place winner, whose work will be published in The Saturday Evening Post.

No entry confirmation will be given unless requested. No SASE is required.
- The author's name should not appear on the story. Our entrants are judged anonymously. Each story must be accompanied by a separate cover sheet with the writer's name, complete mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, the title of the piece, and the word count.

We encourage you to enter by April 1 if at all possible, but please know that your story will still be accepted if you meet the later deadline. Our dual deadline must be imposed this year due to information already in print in Writer's Market, etc. that states May 15 as our final deadline. We apologize for this inconvenience. Beginning with our 2011 competition we will have a single deadline. Entries postmarked after May 15, 2010 will not be accepted. Entries submitted online after May 15 will not be accepted.

Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition Online Submissions
We are pleased to announce that we are now able to accept online submissions to our competition, in addition to continuing to accept entries by mail. We have been accustomed to doing things the old-fashioned way for so long -- 2010 will mark the 30th anniversary of the competition -- that accepting stories online seems like a bold step into a brave new world, and while we have a bit of stage fright we do believe that this additional option of submitting your stories will help save a few trees in the long run.
Below please find what we trust are rather simple guidelines for online submissions:
Online Submission Guidelines:

End of Summer 2009
Fall in the Pacific Northwest really is incredible. Today was one of those crystalline-perfect autumn days, when the air is just cool enough for a jacket, but the sun is bright and slanting golden, and the sky a brilliant watercolor wash of blue. Definitely a fine day for a walk, since anyone who has lived here long enough to see the seasons change a few times knows that the weather can't last, and soon enough the rains will come sweeping in, then stay for months.
I'm utterly smitten and enchanted by the salmon working their way up the fish-ladder at the fish hatchery. And even more enchanted by the fish working their way up through the water spilling down the rocks of Whatcom Creek. And, for a wonder, I remembered my camera today, too.
All I can think about, watching them, is all the different stories about magical fish. There are stories about salmon, specifically, from lots of different cultures and folk traditions, too. Local First Nations traditions include many anecdotes and intersections between salmon, people, coyote, and the waters that run out to the sea:
A disagreement between Tyee Salmon and Steelhead resulted in only Tyee Salmon going up the north fork of the Puyallup River and red salmon only going up the south fork. Salmon run all the way up into the Cascades because Coyote broke the weir constructed by the Sandpiper women and cleared the way for salmon to go upstream. Because of that, the Naches people could also fish for part of their food.And in Celtic traditions, salmon figure into stories of heroes, bards, and kings. Fionn Mac Cumhail caught and cooked the legendary Salmon of Knowledge at Rossnaree, according to legend.
And in about ten days I leave for the east coast, for Viable Paradise. It's odd to think that the rains could come while I'm gone, and this all might look very different when I come home again.

Requiescat In Pace
My mom had all their records, stuck in the very back of the big console record player, with her previous name written with indelible marker, using careful and pretty cursive, on the album covers.
I asked about those albums, once. The resulting conversation was one of those odd and slightly disconcerting experiences that result when children discover that a parent was complete human being, with stories of her own, before having children.

(67 quotes found)
"We panicked a little bit after that spurt. We took some shots that were uncharacteristic of our team, and they got some easy ones on the other end."
Jim Frederick
"I think we panicked a little bit. We told the guys if we were down five or up three, you still had to stick to the game plan and for the most part we did."
Joe Muniz
"The judge was supposed to cut him loose. He must have panicked."
Joe DiNatale
"I think we panicked a little bit. George Mason is a great team, and with the way they came out shooting the ball tonight, it really put us in a hole and kind of got us on our heels."
Paul Miller
"We came out and kind of panicked a little bit."
Jon Anderson
"I went (to rehab), I got sober when I was 22 years old. You get panicked ... and I got panicked for my life."
Philip Seymour Hoffman
"We lost our composure in the fourth quarter. We panicked. But we built up enough lead that we could withstand it. That's a tough way to win a ballgame."
John Kuhn
"We panicked at that point. We didn't go to the boards. We stood and watched. It's what unseasoned players do. We hope that they'll learn how to play that situation better the next time."
Phil Weaver
"A couple shots didn't go early and we panicked a little bit. We did some things that were out of character."
John Lentz
"That's where seniors are valuable. We panicked a little bit. We wanted to spread them out and get isolation to beat their guards one-on-one. We'd dribble to the side and stumble or get caught in the corner and get trapped. That's what happens with two seniors and three underclassmen on the floor, or with one out, four underclassmen."

Jaci Velasquez breaks her silence about recent divorce.
LESS THAN two years after her 2003 wedding made the news, Christian/Latin music superstar Jaci Velasquez's marriage has ended in divorce. Velasquez and Indiana native Darren Potuck were married on 16th August, 2003, in Franklin, Tennessee. Jaci told Christian Music Today, "When my husband and I started out as newlyweds, we were like all newlyweds, wanting that dream marriage. Somehow, things took a turn and we have ended up in divorce." The 25-year-old singer continued, "I sought counselling, but the painful truth is that our marriage didn't work out. I've had such a difficult time with this. My heart hurt so badly that I felt like I wanted to crawl under a rock and just die. I can't say that I have ever felt such pain before. My heart literally felt like it was breaking in half."
Velasquez went on to talk about the song "Lay It Down" from her latest
album 'Beauty Has Grace', released by Word Records. The lyrics of that
song contain the lines: "All of my hopes and my dreams and my best
laid plans/Are slowly slipping through my folded hands." Commented the
singer, "I am learning how to live out the words of 'Lay It Down'
daily and experiencing God's love, grace and mercy like never before.
My God is so awesome, I can feel him lift me up every time I feel like
it's all too much for me."

Click here for Breast Cancer Awareness
Our First Breast Cancer Survivor, Sandy.
Sandy, a BUNCH of somebodies LOVE you!
3 Year old Sandy came to us with large and painful mammary tumors. A biopsy revealed it was breast cancer. We raised money and flew this little girl to Small Paws® Volunteer, Karen Franklin in Sumrall, Misissippi. Karen is a vet tech and works for a wonderful vet, Dr. Ricks. Dr. Ricks did a radical double mastectomy on Sandy. It was the worst case of breast cancer that Karen had ever seen.
We just got word that the tumors are gone and lymph nodes are clear! Though we are not able to say she is cured of the cancer, she is clear of it right now!:) Thank you Dr. Ricks!
Dr. Ricks prepares to go get that cancer out of there!
The surgery was very radical. We kept Sandy out of pain with pain killers.
Thanks to your generosity, Sandy has a bright prognosis! Many thanks to Dr. Ricks, and Karen Franklin...to whom Sandy owes her life.:)

Alternative material for Virtual Nymph products
Can anyone point me towards some easier-to-find alternatives for Nymph Skin, Flexi-Skin, and self-adhesive lead? I'm interested in picking up these materials, however can only find them on-line at one shop (in CA). I'd say that VN's US distribution is lacking; saw their list of retailers and only one of them in the states listed the products on-line. With that being the case, if I could get my hands on some viable alternative materials I'd be quite happy! :D
Chris, I hadn't heard of that product line before. Maybe one of the British members of the forum could give us info on what they are comparable to. Also I've heard, but never verified or used, that golfers use an adhesive backed lead tape for weighting clubs.
From what I can tell VN's Flex-Skin is the same as Thin-Skin which most fly shops carry. Basically a very thin Sili-Skin that is not adhesive and comes in a variety of mottled and plain colors. The Nymph-Skin looks like pre-cut Flex Skin. Most people use this stuff for nymph wing-cases or scud backs...not sure what your intentions are here. I bought some of the stuff when it came out but am unimpressed by the way it looks for a wingcase - too shiny and synthetic. I prefer the good ol' Turkey Tail sprayed with fixative for wingcases...or a bit of marabou. I haven't seen the adhesive backed lead. What would you use it for? Good luck. |
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the feedback. I was planning on using the Nymph Skin as abdomen, wrapped around the shank. The material is apparently made of latex and picks up color from markers quite well. I think that either the Flexi-Skin or the Nymph Skin can be used for this purpose, just have to find an alternative material that's offered in clear and olive. The adjesive tape is used as an alternative to winding lead around the shank, which enables a slimmer body profile if desired. I can order the actual stuff, but just wondered if there was something just as good or better that's easily found. |
Chris, at the marlboro show I talked to a person who was tying latex flies. They were colored with markers then he treated them with Softex to lock in the colors. If your interested I'll look for his card tonight. latex gloves may be a source for you.
Yes, golfers use self adhesive lead tape for weighting clubs. I had some once upon a time. Any golf store should have it.
Don't know if they still make it but Larva Lace used to make latex for doing the segmented bodies you're after. They look great for big stoneflies or czech style caddis patterns..and take a sharpie well. You definitely want latex and not thin-skin for this. The thin-skin is translucent and not nearly as durable as the latex...and won't hold the ink as well. The stuff you want is considerably thicker than a glove and opaque. Remember you can smash wound lead to shape with a pair of flat-jawed pliers if you're trying to create a thin or buggy shape to your patterns. Good luck. |
I'll look into the Larva Lace material; I know that their stuff's relatively cheap. Thanks! |
Just read your post. There is a clear ribbing (plastic) that is used in bonefish fly patterns. It comes in various colors typically light pink or green but it also comes in clear. As I remember there are three thicknesses available. The thin one would most certainly work on freshwater flies. Sorry I don't have the brand name in front of me but I can get you that information. In my limited experience tying bonefish flies I really liked the way an underlying material colors came through on the clear body rib. Far superior than coloring with a marker. You can shoot me a PM and I'll look up the information for you. Also give John (Striblue) a ping as he's probably tied every bonefish pattern on the planet and then some more. He'll know what it is too. Good luck & tight lines. |
Since you are wanting to wrap it for a segmented body, why not use Larva Lace or Swanandaze in the color you want the body to be? Instant segmentation, semi-translucent, and very durable along with ease of application. Go to any golf shop to buy the adhesive-backed lead tape. It comes is various sized rolls and it is pretty inexpensive. You should be able to get the Larva Lace or Swanandaze at Urban Angler (I finally remembered the name) right there in New York City. |

The competition
Not to be outdone, Nvidia has responded to the R7 260X launch with some price cuts, which it says are permanent.
As of Monday, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB is available for $149.99, or $129.99 after a mail-in rebate. The 1GB version of the same card is down to $129.99, or $109.99 after a mail-in rebate. Those are $20 cuts over last week's prices, and they put the 650 Ti Boost cards smack dab in R7 260X territory.
That's a big deal. Our review of the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB showed that card substantially outperforming a retail 7790 clocked not far below the R7 260X. The GTX 650 Ti Boost 1GB should be slower than its 2GB sibling, since its memory runs at 5 GT/s instead of 6 GT/s, but it should still be a tantalizing solution at $129.
For reference, here's how these cards all stack up on paper. (Don't worry; we'll get to the game benchmarks in a minute.)
Peak pixel fill rate (Gpixels/s) |
Peak bilinear filtering (Gtexels/s) |
Peak bilinear fp16 filtering (Gtexels/s) |
Peak shader arithmetic rate (tflops) |
Peak rasterization rate (Gtris/s) |
Memory bandwidth (GB/s) |
Radeon HD 7790 | 16 | 56 | 28 | 1.8 | 2.0 | 96.0 |
Radeon HD 7790 (Asus) | 17 | 60 | 30 | 1.9 | 2.2 | 102 |
Radeon R7 260X | 18 | 62 | 31 | 2.0 | 2.2 | 104 |
Radeon HD 7850 | 28 | 55 | 28 | 1.8 | 1.7 | 154 |
GeForce GTX 650 Ti | 15 | 59 | 59 | 1.4 | 1.9 | 86 |
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB (Zotac) | 15 | 60 | 60 | 1.4 | 1.9 | 86 |
GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 1GB | 25 | 66 | 66 | 1.6 | 2.1 | 120 |
GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB | 25 | 66 | 66 | 1.6 | 2.1 | 144 |
GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB (Asus) | 26 | 69 | 69 | 1.7 | 2.2 | 144 |
The Radeon R7 260X has higher peak shader performance and a higher peak rasterization rate than both versions of the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost. However, 650 Ti Boost cards have higher peak pixel fill rates and texture filtering rates. They also have higher peak memory bandwidth, thanks to their wider, 192-bit memory interfaces. The R7 260X may fare better in highly shader- or tessellation-intensive titles, but it looks like the GeForces could have the edge otherwise.
Our testing methods
We tested using our tried-and-true "inside the second" methods. Since we don't have FCAT equipment up here at TR North, we used Fraps to generate all our performance numbers.
Fraps gives us information about things happening at the start of the rendering pipeline—not, as FCAT does, at the end of the pipeline, when frames reach the display. Having both sets of numbers would be better, but the Fraps data is largely sufficient for the kind of testing we're doing here. We don't expect there to be much of a discrepancy between Fraps and FCAT numbers on single-GPU, single-monitor configurations like these.
In any event, our "inside the second" Fraps numbers are far more informative than the raw frames-per-second data produced by more conventional benchmarking techniques. Such data can cover up problems like latency spikes and micro-stuttering, which have a real, palpable impact on gameplay.
For more information about Fraps, FCAT, and our inside-the-second methodology, be sure to read Scott's articles on the subject: Inside the second: A new look at game benchmarking and Inside the second with Nvidia's frame capture tools.
As ever, we did our best to deliver clean benchmark numbers. Tests were run at least three times, and we reported the median results. Our test systems were configured like so:
Processor | Intel Core i7-3770K |
Motherboard | Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H |
North bridge | Intel Z77 Express |
South bridge | |
Memory size | 4GB (2 DIMMs) |

Hard drive | Crucial m4 256GB |
Power supply | Corsair HX750W 750W |
OS | Windows 8 Professional x64 Edition |
Driver revision | Base GPU clock (MHz) |
Memory clock (MHz) |

Asus Radeon HD 7790 | Catalyst 13.11 beta V1 | 1075 | 1600 | 1024 |
AMD Radeon R7 260X | Catalyst 13.11 beta V1 | 1100 | 1625 | 2048 |
XFX Radeon HD 7850 1GB | Catalyst 13.11 beta V1 | 860 | 1200 | 1024 |
Zotac GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB (simulated) | GeForce 331.40 beta | 941 | 1350 | 2048 |
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 1GB | GeForce 331.40 beta | 980 | 1502 | 1024 |
Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB | GeForce 331.40 beta | 1020 | 1502 | 2048 |
Thanks to AMD, Corsair, and Crucial for helping to outfit our test rig. AMD, Asus, Nvidia, XFX, and Zotac have our gratitude, as well, for supplying the various graphics cards we tested.
Image quality settings for the graphics cards were left at the control panel defaults, except on the Radeon cards, where surface format optimizations were disabled and the tessellation mode was set to "use application settings." Vertical refresh sync (vsync) was disabled for all tests.
We used the following test applications:
Some further notes on our methods:
We used the Fraps utility to record frame rates while playing 60- or 90-second sequences from the game. Although capturing frame rates while playing isn't precisely repeatable, we tried to make each run as similar as possible to all of the others. We tested each Fraps sequence five times per video card in order to counteract any variability. We've included frame-by-frame results from Fraps for each game, and in those plots, you're seeing the results from a single, representative pass through the test sequence.
We measured total system power consumption at the wall socket using a P3 Kill A Watt digital power meter. The monitor was plugged into a separate outlet, so its power draw was not part of our measurement. The cards were plugged into a motherboard on an open test bench.
The idle measurements were taken at the Windows desktop with the Aero theme enabled. The cards were tested under load running Crysis 3 at the same quality settings used for our performance testing.
We measured noise levels on our test system, sitting on an open test bench, using a TES-52 digital sound level meter. The meter was held approximately 8" from the test system at a height even with the top of the video card.
You can think of these noise level measurements much like our system power consumption tests, because the entire systems' noise levels were measured. Of course, noise levels will vary greatly in the real world along with the acoustic properties of the PC enclosure used, whether the enclosure provides adequate cooling to avoid a card's highest fan speeds, placement of the enclosure in the room, and a whole range of other variables. These results should give a reasonably good picture of comparative fan noise, though.
We used GPU-Z to log GPU temperatures during our load testing.
The tests and methods we employ are generally publicly available and reproducible. If you have questions about our methods, hit our forums to talk with us about them.
