We're less than two days away from officially learning everything about the Nokia Lumia 1020. But the leaks don't stop coming. We shared an image of an upcoming accessory for that Lumia 1020 that most of us will be picking up on day one. It's a Frankenstein of shells, adding both more battery and a camera grip for the device. Here are some more images of it.
We suspect you'll be able to pick up the accessory for $70. It includes an integrated 1020mAh battery which will give you a 35% boost in power, microUSB expansion, dedicated tripod mount and shutter button.
I can't wait to get this accessory, the Lumia 1020, and a little GorillaPod to make this quite the kit for when you're travelling.
Are you getting this day one?

"Folk legend Jean Ritchie turns 90," by Bailey Richards (www.hazard-herald.com):
A Perry County icon and national folk music legend turned 90 years old this week past weekend, only a couple weeks after she was honored during the Appalachian Winter Homecoming in Hazard.
Jean Ritchie has spent decades writing and preforming music that has kept the musical traditions of the mountains alive. She grew up in the Viper community a few miles south of Hazard as the youngest of 14 children. The family all preformed music and memorized songs as they worked, and would often times perform at churches and festivals.
Ritchie was first recorded in the 1930's by acclaimed folklorist and musician Alan Lomax while he was recording songs for the Library of Congress's Archive of Folk Song. The Singing Ritchies were recorded along with hundreds of other folk singers.
Ritchie attended Cumberland College and the University of Kentucky, graduating with a degree in social work. She moved to New York where she began working at the Henry Street Settlement School. While in New England, she met several musicians and started playing her old folk songs again.
She also met George Pickow, who would later become her husband. She and Pickow have two sons, Peter and Jonathan.
Ritchie began playing and recording regularly and brought much attention to a little known instrument, the lap dulcimer. She, Pickow, and Pickow's uncle Morris Pickow, began a workshop making dulcimers in Brooklyn. Ritchie would tune them and Pickow would finish them.
Ritchie believed that there was going to be a dulcimer revival, and she was right. While the instrument remains obscure in mainstream circles, it has become very popular in folk music. According to Dean Osborne, director of the Hazard Community and Technical College's Kentucky School of Bluegrass and Traditional Music, it is because of Ritchie's influence that the dulcimer has become such a large part of folk music.
"She is in the top three of dulcimer players in terms of what they have done for awareness of the instrument," said Osborne.
She went on to create hundreds of recordings and write many songs. Several of those songs were written under the pseudonym Than Hall, her grandfather's name, because she felt many of her songs, particularly about coal, would be taken more seriously if they were written by a man.
As it turns out, this may have been true. One of her most well-known and frequently covered songs, the "L & N Don't Stop Here Anymore," was written as Than Hall.
Osborne said that he believes one of the reasons Ritchie's music is so often covered is because of how timeless and iconic it is. "Her music is honest and from the heart," he noted.
Another reason she has been able to become truly iconic is her ability to bring the music of the region outside of the mountains, Osborne continued. While there were many emerging folk artist during the 1940s and 50s, Ritchie was able to rise above because of her willingness to collaborate with many of the greats and take the music to places it had never been before.
He compared Ritchie to a modern figure in folk music, Alison Krauss, for her ability to bring the music of Appalachia to the world.
"While there is nothing wrong with playing around your home, she was able to bring our music to major venues," Osborne said.
Ritchie's music covers many different facets of her life, from the songs she and her family sang while working in the fields to songs about the coal industry and religion. She kept her music traditional, with most of it being the way it would have been sung at home with no accompaniment. She would play guitar or dulcimer in some of her songs.
Another way she kept old traditions alive was by recording many of the Old Regular Baptist hymns that she grew up with. They were recorded as they were sang, lined out one line at a time. Osborne said that it was her voice that made these recordings work. He called it just perfect and sweet.
Over the years, Ritchie has performed on some of the grandest stages in the world including Carnegie Hall and Royal Albert Hall. Her and her husband's photographic archives and Irish music have been purchased and are displayed in the National University of Ireland. She was awarded with a Rolling Stone Critics Award in 1977 for her album None But One. In 2002 she received the highest honor in the folk music world, the National Endowment For The Arts National Heritage Fellowship.
Among all of the musicians from the mountains, Osborne said that Ritchie stands out because of her honesty in her songs and ability to cross boundaries with her traditional music. Osborne was a part of the selection committee that chose her to be in the first class entered in the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame in 2002.
"She is in a class all her own," he said.
Ritchie's career has spanned from the late 1940s through 2009. She continued preforming until she suffered a stroke in Dec. 2009 that affected her communication. She was able to make a great amount of recovery and begin speaking again in 2010.
From her humble beginnings sharing a bedroom with her nine sisters and signing in the fields, Jean Ritchie has been regarded as a national treasure for preserving the music of the mountains and bringing folk to the world.

The 576 gelatin silver prints in the Nooney Brooklyn Photographs collection are organized chronologically. Each photograph is identified by neighborhood, address, and the names of the sitters. In addition to the photographs, Nooney kept index cards to which she affixed contact prints and took notes recording her observations of each family. The collection includes copies of these notes. The Library acquired the collection as a gift from the photographer in 1995.
A Manhattanite by birth, Nooney's first photographic project (1974-76) was to document the entire length of the West Side Highway, which had partially collapsed in 1973 and was demolished beginning in 1977. The Getty Center acquired Nooney's West Side archive, including negatives, prints, notes, and newspaper clippings.
Her second project, the documentation of Brooklyn, was much larger in scope. Nooney initially became interested in the borough in 1972, while working as a volunteer for George McGovern's presidential campaign. Two years later, she used the connections she had made in order to gain access to rooftops and other vantage points for a survey of the borough. She soon became more interested in the people she met and began photographing families in their homes. Many of these sitters then recommended other potentially willing subjects.
Working almost daily from January 1978 to April 1979, she crisscrossed the borough, documenting the broad ethnic and economic range of Brooklyn's residents. The portraits that emerge are striking in their attention to the details of architecture and décor, which reveal just as much about the subjects as how they choose to pose themselves for Nooney's camera. This project was the subject of an exhibition, At Home in Brooklyn, at the Long Island Historical Society in 1985.

Building control arms for your custom application
Reference: Herzog
Building custom control arms isn't necessarily very hard. It is just a matter of taking your time and getting measurements right and knowing what you need for your application.
Attain your measurements by placing your axle under you vehicle exactly where you want it. Make sure the axle is centered and is the right distance from the frame as it would normally be when the suspension is all together at static ride height. Then measure from frame mount to axle mount (center of bolt holes). This will give you your overall length of the control arm.
Now you have to take into consideration the bushings used to mount the control arms. I use Rubicon Express large Super-Flex Joints (part# RE3792) at the frame side and large OEM Jeep rubber bushings from Rubicon Express (part #RE3701) pressed into 2.25" ID tubing.
When you know which type of bushing will work best in your application, take the working length of each one on both sides and subtract that from the overall length. If your overall control arm length is 36", and each bushing end measures 1.5 from center to end of casing, you must subtract a total of 3 inches from the overall length, giving you 33 inches. We now know the length that we need to cut our tubing.
When cutting the length of round tubing at 33 inches, add an extra 1/2 inch for each side. This will give you enough material on the tubing to notch it for a good fit around the bushing casing. This extra material brings our cut up to 34 inches. The tubing used in this tech article for these control arms is 2" OD x .25" wall 1026 DOM tubing.
Notching the ends can be done several ways. These were notched using a 7" disc grinder. Be sure to only go 1/2" deep on each side. This will give you the 33" working distance from bushing case to bushing case. Make sure you notch both ends according to your bushing rotation and placement for the suspension bracket. Once the notching is finished, line up the bushing cases using a square and good judgment. Then tack weld them into place.
Once you have one of the sides lined up and tacked on, place the arm on flat ground and square up the next casing to tack on. The flat ground will ensure that both casings are in-line with each other. Lay a square down next to the arm, line up the casing and tack weld it on. When both ends are tacked on, retake measurements to make sure they are square.
When you are sure that you have both ends lined up properly, weld them on solid. If you don't trust your welding for suspension components, have an experienced welder do this for you. Any additional mounts on the arms may be made. Be sure to let them cool SLOWLY after welding. Do NOT quench the hot welds.
When the arms are completely cooled off, the bushings may be assembled and/or pressed in. First we did the RE Spherical joints. These joints are very easy to assemble, be sure to use plenty of grease in these casings. Make sure to tighten the casing shims tight enough to prevent premature wear or failure and to keep dirt and water out.
After the RE joints were assembled, I pressed the OEM rubber bushings into the 2.75 OD, 2.25 ID, .25 wall casing at the other end of the arms with a 20 ton shop press. These bushings have a stepped ridge at one end and is impossible to beat in with a hammer. A press makes short work of installing these bushings.
And now we have a complete set of lower control arms.

Cocoa and Chili Rubbed Pork Chops
I don't know about other grocery stores across the country, but I feel like ours in Kansas City are always running sales on pork! While it's not something I'd say I usually crave, I definitely enjoy "the other white meat" every now and then. (I owe this to being the daughter of my dad, who gets ridiculously excited about pork chops!) So since they were yet again on sale this week, day five of Cheap Eats Week here on the blog is an ode to the chop. :)
I think this may also be my first recipe on the blog featuring my favorite chocolate+chili combination! For those of you who've never tried it (and if this is the case, you must before you raise a skeptical eyebrow!), trust me that this doesn't taste like pork with a Hershey's bar on top. Rather, the cocoa just adds a subtle, yet delicious depth of flavor beneath the zing of the chili powder. I absolutely love the combination — in chilis, in truffles, cupcakes…you name it!
I ended up using ancho chili powder (subtle heat, but with a nice smokey flavor) for this recipe, but feel free to experiment with regular chili powder, chipotle chili powder, paprika, or whatever other favorites you have on hand. Also, while I made these in a skillet on the stove, I'm sure they would be even better cooked on a grill! Whatever your method, would encourage you to give these a try. Too simple, and way too yummy to pass up. :)
Cocoa & Chili Rubbed Pork Chops
You'll love this Cocoa & Chili Rubbed Pork Chops Recipe! So flavorful!
- 2 boneless pork loin chops
- 2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp. ancho chili powder (or regular chili powder)
- 2 tsp. light brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
In a bowl, mix the cocoa, brown sugar, and chili powder together until well-blended. Sprinkle a little less than 1 tsp. on the tops of each pork chop, and pat/rub in. Flip over and do the same on the other sides. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes, then sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-heat. Test to see if the oil is ready by dripping a drop or two of water in the skillet. (No sound – pan is too cold. Splatter – too hot. Sizzle – perfect!) Add pork chops and cover for about 5 minutes. (Mine were not super-thick, so only left then in for 4 minutes.) Then uncover and flip, and cook for a few more minutes until thoroughly cooked (between 145-160 degrees). If juices start to form on top of the chops, they're definitely done!

Wow, great recipe!! I am totally going to try this!! Great blog you have here!
spicy chocolate truffles are something i eat obsessively, so i know i love the combination of cocoa and chili. using it with pork, which i also love, is inspired and looks delicious!
Oh this looks yummy! I can't wait to try it.
This looks really good. I'm not one who typically craves pork either, but I can see craving this particular dish. Love your blog!
This recipe looks so different from what i usually make with pork chops. I am doing these tomorrow, they look so good!! Thanks for sending it.
Yum… I love the combination of cocoa and chiles… Sounds tasty on pork chops! Love the pictures, too.
Love this! I was looking for a rub (via foodgawker) to put on my pork chops tonight. :-) I'm happy I found your blog. Oh, and I'm a native Leawood-er, transplanted to East Texas.
I just wanted to let you know that I love this recipie. Even my husband and oldest daughter who normaly hate pork chops have ate ever bite of theirs both times I made them like this. This is one going in my file to be made a lot because I love pork chops and now my family will eat them. Thanks
My bf and i jsut made these for supper, and they were soooo tasty! thanks:)
Absolutely delightful! I tried a little cocoa on chops a month back. I could not believe how fabulous it was. I will have to try cocoa and chili now.

This looks absolutely amazing and I'm sure it tastes delicious too!!
I found this on Pinterest and decided to cook it for me and my children. It was a great flavor! Thank you so much for sharing! I posted it on Pinterest and on Facebook ;)
Thank you so much for this recipe. I am thawing pork chops now and I am excited to try this!
Panicked when my hubby grabbed pork loin chops instead of the top sirloin he thought he grabbed (don't ask!) TG for this recipe! Super easy, had everything on hand, and said hubby loved it! :)
One note – having worked under professional chefs, I would caution against heating the pan with oil in it, it could burn the oil. Heat your pan, then add the oil. It doesn't take long for it to get to the proper temperature.
Thanks again!
I just made these, and they are delicious! Now that I've tasted them, I have no idea what to serve them with! What vegetable and starch do you normally choose?
I used this recipe but grilled instead and it came out very smokey flavored. AMAZING! Not sure what it was supposed to taste like since I have never cooked with this combo, but it turned out good either way :)

Tried the pork chops and they are delicious! I used a dried ancho chili, "baked" for ten minutes at 400 degrees to puff it back up and then ground in my spice/coffee grinder.
With the leftover rub, I made ice cream!!! One avocado, one banana, half cup almond milk and about four teaspoons rub mix. Blended in my nutribullet and frozen for one hour!
Heav-en-ly!!! Thanks for a great rub recipe that's pretty versatile!

WFP Hands Reach Out In Flooding Aftermath
In the early days of this year, a snow storm followed by torrential rains and flooding wreaked extensive damage to whole areas and communities in the West Bank. The Jadallah family in the Tulkarem village of Anabta are one of many whose lives were swept away by what is said to be the worst natural disaster in the village in the last 50 years.
Antaba, THE WEST BANK – Khadija Jadallah, a Palestinian mother of three, remember opening the door to waters gushing into her house. The 51-year-old mother only managed to get passports and important documents before escaping to the roof from where they were evacuated.
"I was in the kitchen cooking when my neighbours knocked on our door, telling us we need to evacuate. When I opened the door, the waters came into the house life waves from the sea," a clearly shocked Khadija remembers. "I screamed at daughter, Asseel, telling her to run to the roof while I try to save our things, but the water levels were simply too high – I couldn't."
Khadija's family were among the worst-affected households who received WFP emergency food assistance immediately after the storm. The family received a voucher card that they could exchange in participating shops for a range of locally produced foods including bread, dairy products, eggs, pulses, vegetable oil and salt.
"Our homes have been destroyed; we're suffering psychologically but with the assistance we receive from WFP we can spend the little money we have on buying new things for the house," Khadija says.
Anabta's residents spent the days that followed the storm cleaning the debris with the help of volunteers and the Palestinian Red Crescent. However, the destructive force of the storm is still very much evident; agricultural areas were destroyed by mud and buildings have collapsed, while furniture, clothes, electronic devices and other household goods had been moved to roofs and streets to dry in the sun in a desperate attempt to salvage whatever is left of the village. Damages are estimated to be more than US$7 million in Anabta alone.
"By providing food assistance to vulnerable flood-affected households, we ensure that their immediate food needs are met, while at the same time giving them a much-needed hand in rebuilding their lives," says WFP Country Director Pablo Recalde.

I have the answers to the following two questions, but I'm stumped as to why the answers are calculated this way:
Q.1) There are six comics: A, B, C, D, E, F; How many ways are there to select six comics?
Answer: C(6+6-1, 6-1)
Q.2) There are 20 balls. 6 red, 6 green, 8 purple. In how many ways can we select five balls if balls of the same color are considered identical?
Answer: C(3+5-1, 5)
What I don't understand is why we subtract 1 from 6 in the first question while leaving 5 just the way it is in the 2nd question.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Archaeology, Human Sacrifice, Romance - Charlton's Zany Love Story "Xtachoa's Bride"
I feel like there has been a lack of Charlton zaniness around here lately! To remedy that, today I have one of Charlton's more memorable stories -- "Xtachoa's Bride" from For Lovers Only #82 (December 1975) with art by Charles Nicholas and Vincent Alascia.
Charlton wasn't much for diversity, but when they did feature characters that broke the mold, they went all out. "Xtachoa's Bride" involves not only an interracial romance, but a time-traveling one at that! If you are intrigued by the cover (illustrated by Art Cappello)... by all means, keep reading!
Caroline Gunn is a graduate from the University of Arizona. Her research has brought her to Mexico to study Aztec scrolls that she believes prove the existence of an ancient Aztec temple devoted to Xtachoa -- the God of Love.* She is led by Luis Mendoza -- Mexican archeologist, as well as native guides who are descendants of the Aztecs themselves.
Luis has a hard time believing that Caroline isn't frightened about confronting ancient legends firsthand in the temple. He warns the guides not to follow the "Yanqui Maiden," as the gods will place a penalty upon them for doing so. Caroline doesn't hesitate for a moment and heads right into the temple.
Upon entry, Caroline is amazed by its state of preservation and proclaims that it will be the ticket to her doctorate. Luis warns her that there is still time to escape, but Caroline isn't hearing it.
As she happens upon the statue of Xtachoa, she can't help but notice how much it looks like Luis. As she stares at her guide's life-like doppelganger, Caroline starts to feel dizzy from strong smelling incense she can't place. Luis vanishes, and just as quickly, the statue comes to life.
"I am Xtachao [sic], Aztec god of love! You are the maiden who will be sacrificed this day!"
Though she appears to be hallucinating, Caroline is skeptical of the unfolding events. She believes that Luis is merely playing a joke on her. She follows Xtachoa's demands for her sacrifice, but does so with a little sassy backtalk.
Xtachoa performs some sort of sacrifice (which is pretty much left to our imagination), upon which Caroline assumes her new Aztec identity, Caro. Xtachoa tells her that she has passed beyond the "mortal phase," but that it isn't an ending, but a beginning.
Caro declares that she loves the Aztec god and that her fate is in his hands. But just as the hunky animated statue really gets down to kiss her good, she starts to wake...
As she utters sleepily, "Yes, Xtachao [sic]... please kiss me again!" she finds herself in the arms of none other than Luis Mendoza -- mortal man, professional archaeologist, and darn good kisser.
Luis helps Caro (Oops! I mean Caroline!) out of the temple and laments that he allowed her to go in there in the first place. Caroline on the other hand is thankful for her time in the mysterious temple, only wishing she had taken a souvenir. Fortuitously, Luis has a gold and emerald medallion that had been worn by Xtachoa himself. Handed down to him from ancestors, Luis presents it to Caroline as a symbol of their love. Eternal love, I presume.
Definitely more of a characterization than a sensitive portrayal of a person of color, "Xtachoa's Bride" is anything but forgettable. Strangely enough, this is one of the more "diverse" stories that Charlton published in the romance genre in the 1970s. Obviously, DC and Marvel were leaps and bounds ahead in that regard. Now, we can only imagine how Charlton would have handled a more diverse set of characters and storylines...
*You will probably notice that throughout the story, the Aztec god's name is written as "Xtachao," even though his name on the splash is written as "Xtachoa." I have used "Xtachoa" throughout, but I am unsure of what Charlton actually had intended.

CONWAY, Ark. – Birmingham-Southern (16-8; 7-1 SAA) stranded the tying and go ahead runs on base in the ninth inning as Hendrix College (10-14; 4-7 SAA) held on for a 3-2 Southern Athletic Association win on Saturday at UCA Bear Stadium.
The Panthers trailed 3-0 going before scoring a run in the eighth and ninth innings to pull within a run. Jacob Mayfield drew a walk and scored on a Tanner McGill single in the eighth but the Panthers would leave a runner in scoring position when the inning came to a close.
Zach Wagner delivered a pinch hit single to start BSC offense with one out in the ninth. Evan Grovenstein walked and Mayfield followed with a two out single to score Stephen Denton and cut the deficit to 3-2 and put runners at the corners with two outs.

Jerilyn (Jeri) Logemann, ASHA 1994 and 2000 president and a world-renowned researcher in speech-language pathology, died at age 72 on June 19, 2014, in her home surrounded by friends.
After obtaining her bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from Northwestern University, Logemann joined the faculty and became one of the most influential leaders in her field. A prolific scholar, she contributed groundbreaking books, journal articles, workshops, conference presentations and seminars on the management of voice disorders, normal swallowing physiology, and the assessment and treatment of speech and swallowing in patients with head and neck cancer and those with neurological impairments.
Logemann was the Ralph and Jean Sundin professor of communication sciences and disorders at Northwestern University, and professor of otolaryngology and neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where she directed the Voice, Speech and Language Service and Swallowing Center.
A pioneer in the development of techniques for effective assessment and treatment of speech and swallowing disorders, she—with Hilda Fisher—developed the Fisher-Logemann Test of Articulation Competence, and she developed the modified barium swallow test. Regarded as the leading authority in swallowing disorders, her research was continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health and other agencies for more than 30 years. Always concerned with improving speech-language pathology clinical service, Logemann formed the Clinical Sciences and Disorders Clinical Trials Research Group in 1995 to assist in the design and conduct of large-scale treatment studies of speech, language, learning, voice, swallowing, hearing and balance disorders.
Logemann was a Fellow of ASHA and the Chicago Medical Society, and received ASHA Honors, the association's highest award. She served the university as chair of the department, and twice as chair of the Northwestern University Faculty.
Logemann's relentless passion and commitment to her work; skilled leadership; inventive, indomitable and optimistic spirit despite relentless physical challenges; and her loyalty and generosity will be sorely missed by her patients, students, friends and colleagues.
She is survived by her cousin, Ruth Fruland, of Sheridan, Ill.
Gifts in her memory can be made to the Communication Sciences and Disorders Clinical Trials Research Group:

I'm wondering how one figures the cruising range of a used boat before the purchase.
In this case I am interested in a Harbor Master Stolkraft but then realized the problem applies to all the older boats particularly if they are a more obscure model.
The obvious solution would be to ask the owner or broker but I am sorry to say that in this economy I find there is more less than truthful folk trying to move a vessel then honest ones.
The only way I can see to hazard a guess is that with a 310 gal tank if you go slow enough you may get 1mpg.
Any better suggestions?

1. What does this "such that" mean? I don't get it.
2. What does this "It is a forced option" mean? Does "it" mean "not choosing" or "hesitating to choose"? I don't get what "forced" means here.
34)An option is forced if not choosing to decide is somehow equivalent in its consequences to choosing not to decide. I recently debated buying a particular car that had just arrived at a local dealership. I looked at it for two days and test-drove it twice. I really liked it. It was an extraordinary deal because of some rare circumstances. But, as much as I liked it, and as perfect a deal as it seemed, I couldn't manage to form the positive belief that I should go buy it. The situation was such that this was equivalent to deciding not to buy it, as my hesitation allowed another interested party to snatch it away while I pondered the possibilities. If you are presented with a good job offer and given 48 hours to respond, then not choosing is equivalent in its consequences to a negative choice. It is a forced option.

I'm sorry, so I filled out the missing part. I understand your conclusion same as that of this paraghraph. But still I can't get what "such that" and "forced option" mean respectively.
The situation was equivalent to deciding not to buy it, as my hesitation allowed another interested party to snatch it away while I pondered the possibilities.
So..."such that" is really not needed in this sentence. "such that" describes the situation as being equivalent to deciding not to buy it. Using these words is a stylistic choice, or word inflation, depending on who is doing the editing.
An option is a choice. The writer is saying that there really is no choice - you are being forced to accept or not to accept. If you decide to not decide, you are, in reality, making a choice. Given this, the concept of an option is put aside since you cannot decide to not accept - your not accepting leads to the opposite of your accepting.
That's a lot of words to say what the rock band Rush put as "when you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

Iran yesterday revealed its most recent indigenous fighter jet — the "Qaher 313″. The prototype Q-313 was presented to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as a ceremonial gift during the country's Ten-Day Dawn celebration. The festivities commemorate the 1979 revolution when the U.S. embassy in Tehran taken by force.
In the previous days, the Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi had said, "The aircraft will be different from the other fighter jets Iran has already made."
Indeed, based on the first photographs released by the FARS News Agency, the new stealthy jet has a peculiar design. It features hard edges and those distinctive edges and angle of the U.S. F-22 and the twin tail shape much similar to that of the F-35 Lightning II.
The Q-313 has large, seemingly fixed canards, and little wings whose external section is canted downward, while the canopy material is at least odd (based on its transparency, it looks like Plexiglas or something like that).
The cockpit seems basic (a bit too much for a modern plane – note the lack of wiring behind the front panel).
The air intakes are extremely small whereas the engine section lacks any kind of nozzle — above all — the aircraft is way too small. Click here for more pictures at the Aviationist >
Putting aside the Qaher's implausible aerodynamics and Hollywood sheen, last week's announcement of a coming new domestic fighter was not insignificant given the Iranian air force has no more than a few dozen strike aircraft.
Most of those it inherited from the prior regime during the 1979 revolution. That regime change, involving a huge U.S. hostage situation, made it far more difficult to maintain the country's then-new fleet of American F-14s.
Tehran has a domestically built fighter already. At least a handful have been sighted during air shows and displays, but this new model is a drastic change in design and ability.
Of course, Iran is famous for building models and systems it never intends to fly, but if this is an actual prototype it may be designed to fill a uniquely Iranian requirement.
Air dominance against the nearly 200 aircraft of the U.S. Fifth Fleet out of Bahrain isn't a realistic goal for Tehran. What it would look to do in any open engagement with the U.S. would be to overwhelm American surface ships with small, high-speed boats, and missiles of its own.
Those boats would immediately be set upon by a fleet of U.S. helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. Most naval experts are quick to point out that a fight between a helo' and a boat generally isn't much of a fight at all. Un-distracted helicopters have immense advantages, but once they start taking fire or need to react to other airborne attacks, that changes.
Perhaps Iran isn't imagining a fleet of stealthy fighter/bombers, based on some design similar to this new display, but a few dozen single seat craft with an array of missiles, a couple guns, and the ability to fly low and slow over the Gulf.
A string of planes to compliment the one military project they've been working hardest over the last decade, but rarely ever mention. That plane would be a handy addition to cover the Bradstone based speed boat, they believe can take on the Fifth Fleet and bring down the U.S. Navy.
While Iran does have a few HESA Shahed light attack/recon helicopters, they're modestly armed and have a limited range of a couple hundred miles.
Iran's other domestically produced jet, the Saeqeh fighter is designed to engage other fighters in mid-air combat also not a practical choice against the might of the U.S. Fleet.
A Qaher variation against the Bradstone would fill a niche, but is obviously pure speculation. But speculating has some value when examining Iran's military projects because like most countries, the weapons Tehran speaks of the least seem to mean the most.
This couldn't be more true than in the case of the ill-gotten Bradstone and Iran's blossoming missile inventory that's about as extensive and diverse as it is deadly and proven.
We'll be sure to follow with any additional Qaher updates.

Stick's FaceBook Page
Stick's Instagram PageSpur of the moment road trips are fun... especially with my best friend! #spurofthemoment #roadtrip #mybestfriendmywife #blessed #drivingacrossthecountry #somewhereinoklahoma10 years ago today both my wife and I took our first steps as official "backpackers!" Earlier that year we heard about the LeConte Lodge in the Great Smoky Mountains. What intrigued me was that we had to hike up to it, and then the cabins didn't even have power and water. I knew I had to look into this more... it sounded too awesome not too! It was still quite a while before we ever stepped foot on any of the trails going to the lodge, but on the morning of September 4, 2009 we took our first steps with fully loaded (read: heavy) backpacks on a multi day trip beginning under the popular arch at the Amicalola Falls Visitor Center. That day we hiked 10 miles *up* to Springer Mountain which is where this photo was taken, and our first time stepping on the Appalachian Trail, and where we spent our first night as backpacker's. Since then we have done much more of the Appalachian Trail, and even a number of other trails. I can't believe it's only been 10 years since that day, but it's a day I am proud of. The beginning of new adventures, and with the woman I love to no end. It's perfect! #tonewbeginnings #10yearsagotoday #backpacking #hiking #newbies #springermountain #appalachiantrail #withtheloveofmylife #memories #remeniscingAnother successful weekend trip camping in our camper! Happy Labor Day everyone!! #onlyonehashtagbecausemywifeanddauguterarecountingthemI know I've been posting a lot of bike pics, but this thing just gets more and more fun... when it's not kicking my butt anyway, especially after all the upgrades! 🤦🏻♂🤗🍻 #trek #trekowners #trekmarlin7 #marlin #marlin7 #2020marlin7 #mtb #mountainbike i#ridemtb #emeraldiris #raceface #racefacechesters #gripplers #rockshox #rockshoxrecon #reconrl #maxxis #maxxistires #maxxisminions #dhf #dhr2 #tubeless #gotubeless #magicmilk #blessed #sunnydays #lake #blueskiesHappy National Doggy day!

This bike has been transformed, and I'm loving it! As well, I got a really great deal on the Revelate Viscacha saddle bag and the Sweetroll handlebar bag from the fine folks at @trailsandtreads in Tupelo, MS! I have been messing around and I can get just about my entire gear setup (for around 20F) in just these 2 bags, minus food, water and toiletries. I have a Revelate Gas Can coming for some bike tools and other small items too. Now I just need to figure out a good place to go for a little bikepacking adventure! :) #trek #trekowners #trekmarlin7 #marlin7 #2020marlin7 #marlinbikes #trailsandtreads #revelate #viscacha #sweetroll #bikepacking #maxxis #maxxistires #maxxisminion #dhf #dhr2 #rockshox #rockshoxreconrl #raceface

We saw the fancy school and the nice new houses in Sierra Leone's president Ernest Bai Koroma village, Yoni, in our last blog. Koroma is in good company among Sierra Leone's presidents.
The school in Yoni will educate the children of the elite of the All People's Congress Party (APC), which ran the country from 1967 until 1992 and then returned to power in 2007. The first APC president, Siaka Stevens, used to like to quote the aphorism, "the cow eats where it is tethered". And eat he did. He created a whole gamut of extractive institutions enriching himself and his APC cronies, and impoverishing Sierra Leone, which experienced almost nonstop economic decline after independence in 1961.
Like many other post-colonial leaders in sub-Saharan Africa, Stevens used the agricultural marketing boards that the British had created to expropriate farmers by setting a fraction of the world price for the main export commodities, such as palm kernels, cocoa and coffee. Not that the British were saints, actually they were already doing the same thing, except not quite so excessively. Stevens looted the country's diamond wealth, and handed out monopolies, such as that on the import of rice, the main staple food, to his friends.
Stevens did not only suck the economic potential out of Sierra Leone by his thievery. He in fact actively destroyed infrastructure. The next picture shows Jim at the derelict Hastings railway station.
But actually there is no railway station there anymore. The railway going all the way from the capital, Freetown to Mendeland, which until 1967 used to transport coffee, cocoa and diamonds, was pulled out by Stevens and destroyed.
At this point, you might think Siaka Stevens was just mad. But actually there was quite a bit of method to his madness. This was all part of his strategy to hold on to power. After all, unless you have control of what we refer to as extractive political institutions, which concentrate power in your hands without any accountability and which suppress all opposition, how can you run the sort of extractive economic institutions that Stevens was so keen on gorging on? And to control these extractive political institutions, Stevens had to destroy all opposition. Mendeland was the power base of the rival Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP). So Stevens decided, whatever was good for Mendeland was bad for his political control, and just destroyed the rail line and together with it much of the trade with Mendeland. Stevens probably also like the aphorism "you can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs".

These corporations – while making public statements that appear to show their concern for climate change and working with their own seemingly progressive trade associations like the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) – threaten to defeat urgent global progress on climate change and economic development for the 99% of the world's population that desires both clean energy and clean air.
This report helps to demonstrate why decisive action on the climate is being increasingly ousted from the political agenda. Firstly we summarise the lack of action at a national level in several key countries to build the right preconditions to a global climate agreement, which stands in stark contrast to public opinion demanding change. Then, the report reveals through clear case studies how a handful of major polluting corporations such as Eskom, BASF, ArcelorMittal, BHP Billiton, Shell and Koch Industries, as well as the industry associations that they are members of, are influencing governments and the political process on climate legislation.

They saw sales up 4.3% in May, boosted by strong demand for the Jeep brand, big incentives on the Dodge Ram pickup truck and the long-in-the-tooth minivans. That means the team from Auburn Hills sold 199,393 vehicles this past month compared to the 191,261 last year during the same time. But keep in mind there was another selling day this month — so it's probably a little bit less than that. We'd give you the full press release, but it's probably still being written in German.
