Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 GMC Savana 3500 Passenger
By KBB.com Editors
The 2008 GMC Savana is a favorite of small business owners and working people everywhere. No pickup or SUV can match the Savana's cargo-hauling capabilities, nor can they be so easily retrofitted to serve specific needs. Be it a rolling carpenter shop or a 15-passenger transport, the Savana serves an important role in an ever-more-mobile society. GMC, however, can no longer afford complacency, now that Dodge has replaced its long-running Ram van with the European-inspired Sprinter Van. An excellent work truck, the Sprinter cannot rival the Savana in the luxury conversion van field, although Ford does offer a full-size van that can go toe-to-toe with the Savana.
If you have a business and need a substantial amount of room for tools or storage, the 2008 GMC Savana is hard to top. A choice of two powerful V8 engines on passenger models, a Duramax diesel on certain cargo vans, varied towing ability and optional all-wheel drive make the Savana a suitable choice for business and family use.
If you are used to driving a minivan, the Savana may prove to be too much vehicle. The V8 can be fuel-thirsty, especially when the vehicle is loaded with passengers or heavy equipment. And the Dodge Sprinter makes better use of its interior space.
The Savana receives a revised interior with an expanded driver information center and standard head-curtain airbags.
Although hardly the vehicle you'd want for running laps at the race track, the 2008 GMC Savana is not as truck-like to drive as one might expect. GM has paid...
... due diligence to the steering and brakes, giving them a firm feel that instills confidence even when fully loaded. Cornering and braking do differ depending upon cargo weight, but with the heavy-duty upgrades for the brakes, transmission and suspension, the Savana can be outfitted to deal with the heaviest loads and still remain quite comfortable.
Side-Access Doors
Side-access doors allow you to reach tools and equipment without having to climb inside.
Seats 15
Available seating for 15 makes the Savana one of the most desirable commuter vehicles on the road.
The Savana's interior makeover gains it new instrument switches, steering wheel, radio and fabrics for the seats. The Savana's vast interior can be configured to seat up to 15 people, or it can be outfitted to provide storage racks suitable for holding equipment and hardware. On Passenger models, the big glass side panels make it easy to see what's around you, and their deep tint keeps prying eyes away. A Fuel-Operated Heater (FOH) is available on models equipped with the Duramax diesel. The FOH system rapidly heats the vehicle's interior when the weather turns cold.
The Savana is about as contemporary as a rolling box can be. It features rounded edges, high-mounted side taillights and flush side-glass. Large side mirrors aid in parking and lane-change maneuvers and the tall side glass makes it easy to see vehicles traveling close by. Cargo vans can be equipped with small doors for accessing interior storage compartments and there are a number of rear-door configurations from which to choose, including the industry's first 60/40-split left-hand hinged side door.
The Savana 1500 Cargo Van has a 195-horsepower V6 engine, while the 1500 Passenger Van is fitted with a 5.3-liter V8. Other standard features include air conditioning, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), swing-out side doors, dual side mirrors and, with the Passenger Van, eight-person seating.
The Savana can be equipped with a number of engine options including a 5.3-liter V8 (standard with all-wheel drive and on Passenger Vans), a 6.0-liter V8, a 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 and a FlexFuel 5.3-liter V8. Other popular options include all-wheel drive, a cold-climate package, tow package, dual heated power mirrors, six-way power driver's seat, rear air conditioning, auxiliary transmission oil cooler and aluminum wheels. The Pro Plus Package (Cargo Vans) includes additional interior lights, side access panels with remote release, heated power side mirrors and keyless entry
Power for the Savana is given a promotion with a series of new Vortec V8 engines. Buyers who must haul heavy loads will probably opt for the new Vortec 5300 with its 301 horsepower and 335 pound-feet of torque. For the larger 3500 series, a potent Vortec 6000 offers customers the most powerful V8 engine in its class. Also available later in the model year will be a FlexFuel 5.3-liter V8 capable of running on either gasoline or E85.

"Overall I wished that I kept my Ford Cargo Van. While the GMC runs well, it's ergonomic set up is sub par. First annoying issue is the doors do not open as far as the Ford, the footing area for the driver is cramped. The ride is good as is the power. Huge gas tank, and milage is around 17mpg, loaded, with a trailer drops milage to 12mpg. Visability is good. White paint started coming off the van in different spots, the hood is devoid of most paint. side door hinges are stiff, feels like they are going to snap off at some point. After owning both Ford and GMC, I'd go with a Ford hands down."

If i have a canon mount samyang 8mm lens (shaved) and i set it up on the nodal ninja r1 panohead, is the following possible?
Can i take this lens/head combination and just attach it with no tweaking to a canon 350D, 5D and 5D mark ii? Or does the lens/head need to be adjusted for each camera?
I own the 350D but can occasionally use the 5D and 5D mark ii through work, that's why i was hoping to be able to use this setup on all 3 cameras.

If we fall into Saturn or Jupiter, would we pass through it until we hit the nucleus?
Or would we hit the surface and stop there?
I think you are confused as to what the 'surface' of Jupiter or Saturn are. They have a large liquid hydrogen centre, but this is surrounded by an incredibly thick layer of atmosphere, which has clouds, gases, liquids etc.
So you would first pass through the outer layers of atmosphere, falling through denser and denser gas until you float at a height which matches your density. Unfortunately, the pressure would have crushed you by this stage, so you wouldn't be able to enjoy it.
The core would still be far below you.
If you like science-fiction, try A Meeting with Medusa by Arthur C Clarke, an awesome writer who uses hard science in his stories.
You wouldn't be able to pass through. Yes if you were to go down far enough you'd be able to find a height that goes with your density but you'd be smashed together from pressure.

November 6, 2013. The Institute of Medicine's 2013 Rhoda and Bernard Sarnat International Prize in Mental Health was awarded to William T. Carpenter on October 21, 2013, at the Institute's annual meeting in Washington, D.C. A professor of psychiatry and pharmacology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, Carpenter is being recognized for his pioneering investigations of both schizophrenia and research ethics.
"Our understanding of schizophrenia and how to treat it are greatly due to the lifetime dedication of Dr. Carpenter," said IOM president Harvey V. Fineberg in a press release issued by the Institute. "His work on mental illness research ethics and academic relations has contributed significantly to policies that have become influential in setting national standards for handling this illness."

The IOM particularly cites Carpenter's efforts to expand the schizophrenia research field's focus from only psychosis, moving it toward more recognition of the debilitating effects of negative symptoms. He has also forged the path to informed consent in schizophrenia research and generated guidelines for the safe and ethical research of patients with the illness. More recently, Carpenter has been heavily involved in shaping the future of psychiatry as chair of the Psychotic Disorders Workgroup of DSM-5 (see SRF related conference story). He has also been a major contributor to SRF as both a member of the founding Scientific Advisory Board and an author of over 60 comments.
Carpenter earned his medical degree from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Prior to joining the University of Maryland faculty, he held academic appointments at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the New York State Psychiatric Institute. He has published over 400 papers, served as director of the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center from 1977 until earlier this year, and is currently the editor-in-chief of Schizophrenia Bulletin. He was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 1998.
Since 1992, the Sarnat Prize, which consists of a medal and $20,000, has been awarded annually to an individual, group, or organization that has made an outstanding contribution to improving mental health. Congratulations, Will!—Allison A. Curley.

5 Shocking Side Effects of Foods You Eat Every Day
#2. Colored Chips Can Control Your Eating
Sometimes there's nothing better than sinking into the couch to watch a good movie armed with a cold drink and a giant bag of chips. Of course, there's only one way for such a scenario to end: Before long, your chips are all gone, even though you swear you never meant to eat them all. The entire potato chip industry is based on this "mindlessly eat until your hand punches through the bottom of the bag" behavior.
Thankfully, researchers have found a way to bring your accidental snack-binging under control ... with food coloring. And it's not what you think -- we're not talking about dyeing food some disgusting color so you don't want it anymore, although that also works (that's why your "dye all of the food green for St. Patrick's Day" party failed). No, it turns out that mixing up the colors of the food makes it easier to keep track of how much we eat.
Chip math is so much easier when you can count them, versus weighing their liquid volume in the toilet.
For the experiment, scientists took tubes of Pringles and sneaked red-dyed chips into them at regular intervals. The test subjects were then told to eat however much they liked, upon which everyone unsurprisingly went all "Whoa, free food!"
Yet, as the dust settled, the people who'd had red chips in their tubes ate 50 percent less than the ones with just regular chips. The placement of the red chips didn't matter, either -- as long as these "divider" chips were present, people just ate less.
The colorblind, however, are still fucked.
Researchers then asked both groups to estimate how much they'd eaten, and again, those who'd had their chips segmented with the red ones were much more successful than those with unaltered snacks.
The thing is, we all know that it's best not to eat too much. Sometimes our brains just have a hard time determining when we've overeaten, because food has few tangible markers beyond "Yeah, there's still some" and "Fuck, all gone now." So the brain just sort of gives up and lets you go on with the automated eating sequence until the food is gone or you collapse. However, introduce the red chips into the equation as markers, and your brain is suddenly able to monitor exactly how much crap you're shoving into your face -- and send a stop signal when appropriate.
#1. Alcohol Boosts Your Subconscious Memory
Everyone knows that alcohol and memory enjoy an inverse relationship: When your head is full of one, the other is notably absent. That's kind of the point of the whole "drinking to forget" thing.
There's a truth to it, of course -- everyone knows that your pub quiz performance deteriorates to hell after a few beers, and a sufficiently thick vodka haze makes your home keys literally impossible to find. However, memory is a notoriously fickle bastard that operates on many levels. On the lowest of them all, we find none other but our subconscious. And according to scientists, alcohol and subconscious memory like to hook up and go to town.
Not a metaphor. This photo was taken in 1988.
It goes back to the basic chemistry that makes drinking enjoyable. The happy buzz you receive from drinking is achieved when the booze cheats your brain into releasing dopamine, the body's very own "Fuck yeah!" hormone. The thing is, it doesn't stop there. Although perfectly capable of giving you a sense of happiness, dopamine is at its core not a pleasure hormone -- it's a learning hormone. The more dopamine you have in your body, the more receptive you become to learning and remembering everything around you ... at a subconscious level.
Your subconscious memory views the feel-good fix that dopamine delivers as a reward it gets from learning as much shit as it can. And boy, it can learn. When your conscious thoughts are drunkenly slurring obscenities at the dude who objected to your tabletop performance of the "Gangnam Style" dance, your subconscious memory is busy being acutely aware of its surroundings, forming all sorts of memory tricks and repeatable habits like no tomorrow.
"Hold my calls. I'm studying for that sales presentation."
The various components of this process are still being explored, but researchers have already gone so far as to suggest that alcoholics may actually not be addicted to alcohol itself, but rather to the memory of the tuned-in state that booze gives to their subconscious. You're forming memories at a faster rate than ever, but instead of anything useful, all you're retaining is the memory that drinking made you feel awesome. Once again, the biggest enabler of your bad habits is that big squishy asshole between your ears.

I know Greater Mage Hand lets you carry stuff up to 40lbs with it, but is that useful in combat, or just more meant for roleplay/story segments?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
One of the great beauties of role playing is that you use your imagination to solve problems the dungeon master throws at you (in some cases the problems may be ones that you yourself created). Like a 10' pole, I think Mage hand could definitely be used for a lot of different scenarios including combat.
Perhaps an Orc king is disarmed by the fighter and you the Awesome Mage decides to use Mage hand to move the orcs blade away so he can't pick it back up, rendering him extremely ineffective in combat (he may even surrender). That could be very useful in a combat scenario.
I'm not going to make a list of answers but a Mage hand could be more useful then a fireball in some situations.
Honestly the usefulness of certain spells and pieces of equipment are only limited by your imagination and I think Mage hand, like the 10' pole is one of those things.
I'd call it a highly situational combat spell, and not up to the standards set by heavy-duty 1st-level combat spells like Grease, Sleep, Color Spray, Power Word: Pain, Enlarge Person, and so on. If you have a limited number of spell slots and/or spells known (which is more or less always), I can't imagine myself picking this spell for reasons of it being mechanically good in combat on its own.
It's likely to be more useful, relatively speaking, if you find yourself frequently fighting armed humanoids with bad Will saves (such as low-level NPC Warriors), as the spell can be used to disarm, probably its greatest combat use.
It doesn't reach far enough or lift heavy enough to use it to deal damage by dropping objects. Most characters fall outside the weight limit, especially once gear is factored in.
It is one of those spells where sufficient creativity coupled with DM leniency could result in something fun happening, but my verdict on its mechanical viability in combat is definitely "mediocre" at best.
To augment the other answers, here's an (extremely incomplete) list of things that you can do with a Greater Mage Hand:
The best uses of Greater Mage Hand depend on interacting with things, so its value depends on what other things there are for you to interact with, including what you have in your pockets. Pot of boiling oil sitting over your enemies, with a small lever to tip it? Perfect. Featureless plain populated by golems? Useless.

My fridge (10 year old Elextrolux model PLHT219TCK0) is not cooling (60 degrees) while the freezer works fine. I thawed the freezer for 12 hours and when I turned it back on everything worked fine for a week and then the problem re-appeared. When I opened up the back of the freezer there is a build up of frost on all components. I am thinking that maybe the defroster is not working. See the attached pictures.
Usually there's a fan that moves air from the freezer to the fridge. It could be that the frost is preventing the fan from spinning and/or blocking the air chase between the two. Would probably take a week or so to build up to that point. If the defrosters not working, which, if that's the back of the interior of your freezer, it looks like it isn't, that's definitely what I would start checking.
I'm not fridge guy, but my first step would be to verify voltage to the defroster.

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Ultima Vez Modificado: 22 de enero del 2002
Treatment that is added to increase the effectiveness of a primary therapy. It usually refers to hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, or radiation added after surgery to increase the chances of curing the disease or keeping it in check.
A substance (for example, the drug tamoxifen) that blocks the effects of estrogen on tumors. Antiestrogens are used to treat breast cancers that depend on estrogen for growth.
A surgical procedure in which the lymph nodes in the armpit (axillary nodes) are removed and examined to find out if breast cancer has spread to those nodes and to remove any cancerous lymph nodes.
A tissue sample, examined under the microscope.
Surgery to remove a breast cancer and a small amount of benign tissue around the cancer, without removing any other part of the breast. This procedure is also called lumpectomy, segmental excision, or limited breast surgery. The method may require an axillary dissection and usually requires radiation therapy in addition to the breast conservation surgery.
Surgery that rebuilds the breast contour after mastectomy. A breast implant or the woman's own tissue provides the contour. If desired, the nipple and areola may also be re-created. Reconstruction can be done at the time of mastectomy or any time later.
An early stage of cancer, in which the tumor is still only in the structures of the organ where it first developed, and the disease has not invaded other parts of the organ or spread (metastasized). Most in situ carcinomas are highly curable.
Treatment with drugs to destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy is often used in addition to surgery or radiation to treat cancer when metastasis is proven or suspected, when the cancer has come back (recurred), or when there is a strong likelihood that the cancer could recur.
A fluid-filled mass that is usually benign. The fluid can be removed for analysis.
A hollow passage for gland secretions. In the breast, a passage through which milk passes from the lobule (which makes the milk) to the nipple.
The most common type of non-invasive breast cancer. Cancer cells have not spread beyond the ducts.
A female sex hormone produced primarily by the ovaries and in smaller amounts by the adrenal cortex. In women, levels of estrogen fluctuate on nature's carefully orchestrated schedule, regulating the development of secondary sex characteristics, including breasts, regulating the monthly cycle of menstruation; and preparing the body for fertilization and reproduction. In breast cancer, estrogen may promote the growth of cancer cells.
A type of benign breast tumor composed of fibrous tissue and glandular tissue. On clinical examination or breast self-examination, it usually feels like a firm, round, smooth lump. These usually occur in young women.
A term that describes certain benign changes in the breast; also called fibrocystic disease. Symptoms of this condition are breast swelling or pain. Signs that a health care professional can observe on clinical breast examination are the presence of nodularity (nodules), lumpiness, and sometimes, nipple discharge. Because these signs sometimes mimic breast cancer, diagnostic mammography or microscopic examination of breast tissue may be needed to show that there is no cancer.
Formation of fibrous (scar-like) tissue. This can occur anywhere in the body.
A gene that produces a type of receptor that helps cells grow. Breast cancer cells with too many Her-2/new receptors tend to be exceptionally fast-growing.
A chemical substance released into the body by the endocrine glands, such as the thyroid, adrenal, or ovaries. The substance travels through the bloodstream and sets in the motion various body functions. For example, prolactin, which is produced in the pituitary gland, begins and sustains the production of milk in the breast after childbirth.
A test to see whether a breast tumor is likely to be affected by hormones or if it can be treated with hormones.
Treatment with hormones, drugs that interfere with hormone production or hormone action, or surgical removal of hormone-producing glands to kill cancer cells or show their growth. The most common hormonal therapy for breast cancer is the drug tamoxifen. Other hormonal therapies include megestrol, aminoglutethimide, androgens and surgical removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy).
Small, finger-like, polyp-like, noncancerous growths in the breast ducts that may cause a bloody nipple discharge. These are most often found in women 45 to 50 years of age. When many papillomas exist, breast cancer risk is slightly increased.
A method of breast reconstruction that uses the long flat muscle of the back, by rotating it to the chest area.
(LCIS) refers to abnormal cells lining a gland in the breast. This is a risk factor for the future development of cancer, but this is not felt to represent a cancer itself.
Surgery to remove the breast tumor and a small amount of surrounding normal tissue.
Small bean-shaped collections of immune system tissue such as lymphocytes, located along lymphatic vessels. They remove waste and fluids from lymph and help fight infections. Also called lymph glands.
An infrequent complication after breast cancer treatment. Swelling in the arm caused by excess fluid that collects after lymph nodes and vessels are removed by surgery or treated by radiation. This condition is usually persistent although not painful.
Removal of the entire breast. In a simple or total mastectomy surgeons do not cut away any lymph nodes or muscle tissue; in a modified radical mastectomy, surgeons remove the breast and some armpit lymph nodes; in a radical mastectomy (now rarely performed) surgeons remove the breast, armpit lymph nodes, and chest wall muscles under the breast.
The time in a woman's life when monthly cycles of menstruation cease forever and the level of hormones produced by the ovaries decreases. Menopause usually occurs in the late 40s or early 50s, but it can also be caused by surgical removal of both ovaries (oophorectomy), or by some chemotherapies that destroy ovarian function.
The spread of cancer cells to distant areas of the body by way of the lymph system or bloodstream.
Systemic therapy, such as chemotherapy or hormone therapy, given before surgery. Adjuvant therapy can shrink some breast cancers, so that surgical removal can be accomplished with a less extensive operation that would otherwise be needed.
Indicates whether a breast cancer has spread (node-positive) or has not spread (node-negative) to lymph nodes in the armpit (axillary nodes). The number and site of positive axillary nodes can help predict the risk of cancer recurrence.
Surgery to remove the ovaries.
Reproductive organ in the female pelvis. Normally a woman has two ovaries. They contain the eggs (ova) that, when joined with sperm, result in pregnancy. Ovaries are also the primary source of estrogen.
Using the hands to examine. A palpable mass in the breast is one that can be felt.
A female sex hormone released by the ovaries during every menstrual cycle to prepare the uterus for pregnancy and the breasts for milk production (lactation).
A prediction of the course of disease; the outlook for the cure of the patient. For example, women with breast cancer that was detected early and received prompt treatment have a good prognosis.
In a sentinel lymph node biopsy, the surgeon injects a radioactive substance and/or blue dye into the area around the tumor. Lymphatic vessels carry these materials to the sentinel lymph node (also called the sentinel node). The doctor can see the blue dye or detect the radioactivity (with a geiger counter) in the sentinel node, which is cut out and examined. If the sentinel node contains cancer, more axillary lymph nodes are removed. But, if it is free of cancer, the patient can avoid additional axillary surgery and its potential side effects.
The percentage of cells that are replicating their DNA. DNA replication usually indicates that a cell is getting ready to split into two new cells. A low SPF is a sign that a tumor is slow-growing; a high SPF shows that the cells are dividing rapidly and the tumor is growing quickly.
Indicate how far a breast cancer has spread.
A method of needle biopsy that is useful in some cases in which calcifications or a mass can been seen on mammogram but cannot be located by touch. Computerized equipment maps the location of the mass and this is used as a guide for the placement of the needle.
Measures taken to relive symptoms and improve quality of life, but not expected to destroy the cancer. Pain medication is an example of supportive care.
Treatment that reaches and affects cells throughout the body; for example, chemotherapy.
This drug blocks the effects of estrogen on many organs, such as the breast. Blocking estrogen is desirable in some cases of breast cancer because estrogen promotes their growth. Recent research suggests that tamoxifen may lower the risk of developing breast cancer in women with certain risk factors.
A method of breast reconstruction in which tissue from the lower abdominal wall which receives its blood supply from the rectus abdominus muscle is used. The tissue from this area is moved up to the chest to create a breast mound and usually does not require an implant. Moving muscle and tissue from the lower abdomen to the chest results in flattening of the lower abdomen (a "tummy tuck"). Also called a TRAM flap or rectus abdominus flap procedure.
High frequency sound waves used to produce images of the breast.

Pasadena Roadster Club Reliability Run - Revival MeetingWritten by on November 1, 2010 The Pasadena Roadster Club Reliability Run Brings Back That Old-Time Relivin'
It really is like stepping back in time. The Pasadena Roadster Club was established back in 1945 when a couple of previous clubs, the Flyers and the Velociteers merged. The roots of those two clubs reach back into the '30s.
In 1947, the Pasadena Roadster Club held its very first Reliability Run. Those early runs started at the Rose Bowl and ended at the same spot after a 100-mile tour through the local mountains and desert that really did test the reliability of those early hot rods that participated. In order to keep things safe and promote a positive image in a community that may have had a negative impression of hot rods and hot rodders, the speed limit was enforced and dependability and driveability was rewarded over speed.
By the mid-'50s, the Pasadena Roadster Club and the Reliability Run were gone-but not forever. The Club was re-established in 2002. In 2004, the Reliability Run was brought back, following the same route as it had half a century earlier. You could make the same claim about the Pasadena Roadster Club. The world has changed a lot since the middle of the 20th century, and the hot rod hobby has changed with it, but the club works hard to preserve a little bit of the old days. Club members must have a traditional, original-bodied '36-and-earlier topless car, which could be a roadster, rpu, phaeton, touring, cabriolet, or modified, built with period parts. The Reliability Run is open to the public, but the participating cars must meet the same rules as club member vehicles, and the event is limited to 100 cars. The Rose Bowl is no longer the starting and finishing point, but for the most part, the '10 Reliability Run has changed very little from the '47 event, and participating in this revived historic event feels like crossing a bridge to the early days of hot rodding.

A few months after taking the Best Hot Rod award in the Suede Palace at the Grand National Roadster Show, Logan Davis was in Pasadena, CA, for this event. There's a Flathead powering the period-perfect '28, sitting on Deuce 'rails with a Deuce grille.Just before heading up into the San Gabriel mountains, PRC member Richard Loe shares a few stories with Pete Eastwood (left) about their years of hot rodding adventures.A couple of "late-model" roadsters pulling up to one of the check points along the Reliability Run route before heading for higher altitude. That blue '36 belongs to Jim Schield, who won an award for the Best Time.None of these traditional rods are set up as canyon carvers, but nobody cares. We drove up the road a few miles in time to see "Cigar Larry" McCullah coming through the curves in his beautiful '26 phaeton, pulled by a Riley four-port '32 'banger. At the end of the run, he won the Best Banger award.We've met Phil Farber at the Santa Margarita Time Trials and again at the Reliability Run. His eye-catching roadster combines a '27 T body with '29 Model A 'rails and a '32 four-banger with a Winfield cylinder head.This truck-grilled, Flathead-packed, homebuilt '29 lowboy is as hot rod as it gets. We caught up with the car and owner Frank Barone III at the first checkpoint on the run.Unfortunately builder and hot rodder Dave Enmark is no longer with us, but his wife, Mary, keeps the channeled '32 roadster on the road-where it belongs-as much as possible.
The long-distance award, had there been one, probably would've been earned by Geoff Skene, who comes from Jackson, WY, to cruise his Army Drab Green, flathead-powered '32 roadster with the Southern California crowd.Bill Garnett describes his '29 roadster pickup as a "true traditional pre-war hot rod." He's owned it now for 45 years, and drives it all the time. The Flathead is a Weiand engine with a Burns intake manifold and a pair of Stromberg 81 carburetors.Marshall Topping and his co-pilot were having a blast, not hard to do in Topping's cool black Deuce highboy.Pasadena Roadster Club member Dan Murchey now drives the '32 roadster his father Gordon bought in the '40s. The '48 Merc-powered Deuce was restored about five years ago, maintaining the original body and 'rails, and the preserved look it's always worn.The Reliability Run is not just for roadsters but for any early open car, such as Robert Lomas' '34 phaeton. The car was saved out of Lomas' neighbor's garage, where it had been for 50 years. The brown lacquer was shot in 1966. He says the steel and wood are original.John Martin was racing at El Mirage with his 'banger-powered '29 roadster back in the day. His son, Willie, built this highboy with a Riley four-port as a replica of the one his dad raced as a teenager, and is having just as much fun.Allen Brown has owned his '26 T with a suicide frontend, Mexican blanket interior, '39 transmission, and 8BA Flathead converted to center outlet heads for five years.Every rodder should use their car like Tom Branch uses his. Like many of the roadsters at this event, we've seen this gold '32 roadster with the soul of a Studebaker (the engine of one anyway) everywhere from on display at the Grand National Roadster Show to the pages of magazines to outdoor show 'n' shines to the dragstrip to passing us on the highway.
In 1931, Mike Martinez's grandfather bought this roadster pickup brand new. Of course, it wasn't running a Buick V-6, five-speed, or quick-change rear at the time. Martinez has owned the rpu since 1953 and has had it all over the place.The Best Roadster award was given to Rory Forbes. Open wheels, bomber buckets from a B-17, and a '49 Olds mill make this an out-of-the-ordinary '34 Ford. Forbes was there with his dad, Ray, who told us the car was three weeks old.One of our other favorite '34s is Richard Lacy's less-shiny, open-wheel, bucket-seated roadster. Lacy's Merc-powered car was voted Best of Show in the Suede Palace at the Grand National Roadster Show in January.Timothy Cicora came back from the run (which is also a poker run) with the best hand of the day. His '28 Model A, built carefully to emulate the look of a '40s-era hot rod, features a four-banger with Winfield heads, and a lot of other period details.The Eddie Meyer Flathead and impressive pipes, plus a Deuce grille and 'rails, set apart Billy Crewl's '29 Model A highboy, built as a tribute to, and replica of, the hot rod raced by legendary dry lakes racer Jack Calori back in the '40s.

I am writing a story in the 3rd person and i would like to switch the narrator for one of the main characters half way through so that the reader can read how he perceives the story. does anybody have any suggestions on how this can be done without confusing the reader (about who the narrator is)?
Some options to consider:
I'm not quite sure why you think a switch is necessary. Or exactly what kind of switch you're proposing. The title of your question mentions switching from 3rd to 1st, but then the text of your question is more about POV characters, and you can have different POV characters without switching from third to first.
Given that you're mentioning a narrator as if there's an independent voice, I assume that most of the story is written in omniscient third? It's quite possible to 'zoom in' from omniscient to close third (see the Harry Potter stories for an example of someone doing this quite effectively), and you can zoom in to different characters at different times. If you want to make it clear that you're zooming in on someone new, I think the best way to do that is to zoom back out for a little omniscient narration, and then zoom in on your new target.
A VERY rough example:
Jane carefully returned the goblet to the table. There was obviously more going on here than she was aware of, and she didn't want to take any chances until she had it all figured out. [close third POV, zoomed on Jane]
She wasn't the only one looking for more information, although her intentions were certainly more innocent than those of others. While Jane was handling antiques and old ladies, her nemesis was still dealing with Banshees and Necromancers. [omniscient third - and also, total drivel!]
"Get the corpses into the boxes, now!" Dorfman was not a patient man, and one more iteration of the idea that the dead were in no hurry was going to be enough to make him start adding new corpses to the waiting pile. [close third POV, zoomed on Dorfman]
This example is a bit heavy-handed (the modern equivalent of 'meanwhile, back at the ranch'), but hopefully it gives you the idea, and as I said, you can find more subtle examples in Harry Potter and elsewhere.
Is this what you're asking, though? It's a way to switch POV characters, but it doesn't switch to first person. I just don't think it's generally necessary to make that sort of change...
I assume you want to move from 3rd to 1st person. Is this correct?
You could have an incident in the 3rd person, like the hero goes to a bank to check his balance and later meet his girlfriend Suzy. Briefly have the hero making plans about this in the 3rd person:
"He was thinking of going to the bank, so he could withdraw some money to take his girlfriend out to that fancy 5 star hotel."
Then you could switch to 1st person in the next chapter:
"I walked into the bank. It wasnt too busy, which was great, as it meant I could spend more time with Suzy later"
This way the reader will know you are talking about the same character, you have just moved from 3rd to 1st person.

Lucky Night
What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas—sometimes it comes to Newport. Specifically, for Pretend City's Viva Las Vegas poker tourney at Big Canyon Country Club. About 125 gamblers played at casino-style tables, with Hirad Emadi presenting the winning hand. They also threw down the dollars for live auction items such as a James Bond package. A performance from Matt Mauser of the Tijuana Dogs (at the VIP pre-party) added more fun to the affair, which raised nearly $200,000 for the museum's educational programs.

I have an assignment to shot some frescoes in a low-light church. The church is rather small and it has scaffolds (bars) inside which are rather close to the paintings. So, most probably I need to have an UWA lens raked somewhere at 16-20 mm.
There is electricity somewhere there but I'm quite reserved that I can mount a full-fledged studio inside.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
PS: The camera will be a Canon 5D Mark III and I would preffer to shoot in the available light.

RILEY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Friends have come to the aid of a Riley County family who must now find a new place to call home after losing theirs to a fire.
Tracy and Lynn Sohnrey and their four children escaped a fire at their home on McDowell Creek Road Sunday night.
Officials say the blaze started at or around the wood stove located in the basement of the 123-year-old house. The family was home at the time and escaped safely as flames spread to the rest of their home, destroying the back portion and main floor.
Firefighters hauled 27,000 gallons of water to the scene from Manhattan and were assisted by crews from Geary County and Fort Riley.
The family is staying with a relative for now but they need a permanent place to live and have lost nearly all of their belongings.
Those close to the Sohnreys have set up a fund at Alta Vista State Bank to help them through this difficult time and get them back on their feet.
Friends call them a "very deserving" family.
Donations can be made in person or by mail to:

I'm in a bit off a bind here. I've recently picked up Cross Edge again and managed to finally kill the big bird (lindwurm).
But now my nemesis Grava is starting to bug me again. I tried about 10 times, and now I'm going to step over my pride and ask for help :(
So here I am, does anyone know a strategy against this guy?

- Raze lvl 141
- York lvl 140
- Aurelia lvl 141
- Misha lvl 130-140 (sometimes switched with Meu lvl 120)
Quick note: my other characters all range from 120 to 125.


text: Slipstream Sub-genre? I've seen this genre listed on some submission guidelines, but I'm not entirely sure what that means (or doesn't mean). My planned series is set in a wild-west-fantasy-steam-punk world, as you may have noticed by some of my pieces of flash fiction. How do I qualify a setting like that when looking to submit? Fantasy? Steampunk? Other? Any tips here? It's not your typical steampunk setting, at least I don't think so, so I'm curious to hear how others would try to classify it. The reason I ask is some publishers are only looking for certain genres within fantasy/science fiction.

Do you need the permissions from the subjects? Specially if there is money to be made.
The short answer is "it depends", and the rest of my answer is based on US law. To be on the safe side, you'll probably want to have a release. Many contests have a motive to find the best photos possible that showcase a product or service, and the subject(s) in your photos could be inferred to be endorsing that product or service, a model release would definitely be needed.
If the usage is purely editorial, a model release may not be needed.
Of course, be sure to read the fine print of the particular contest, it may address the issue of whether or not releases are required for individuals in the photos.
Someone will also inevitably point out that you can do anything, as long as you don't get caught :)
One of the answers on another question that I asked, I was directed towards this guide on photographers' rights in the UK - there are also guides on there for the US and Australia.
Ultimately, you should check the terms and conditions for a particular contest; I would expect a contest with a theme of social documentary to be far more accepting than if you were coming up with an image to promote something or someone. Bear in mind that how a photo is manipulated also comes into play; I did hear the case where a sports centre took photos of people in the street, with permission, but then found themselves in hot water as the final image gave the impression that two of the people were a couple even when they were shot separately.
Assuming you can publish the photo as a work of art (which is not guaranteed), then it mostly depends on the terms of the photo contest. i.e., let's put aside the question of whether or not you can publish a photo of a stranger at all, and just think about the contest.
In general, the fact you're making money/receiving prizes doesn't have a direct bearing on whether or not you need a release. Selling a photo as a work of art doesn't require the subject's permission (for emphasis, with the assumption you can publish it).
Things that might impact you in the contest terms are clauses like these:
So tip #1 is read the terms and conditions. In most contexts, promotional use puts a larger burden on the photographer than simple display, and would normally require a release. The hypothetical problem boils down to this: you enter the photo, and win. It's used to promote some aspect of the sponsor's business/operation. The person sees it and objects to this use of their image, sues. You end up on the hook for costs.
Is this a big deal in practice? Yes and no. I've never heard of it happening, but on the other hand: if terms like these aren't subject to sensible limits (such as only requiring rights for the winning photos, and/or only for use directly in connection with the contest itself) then you should probably think twice about entering the contest anyway.
Well you ll have to read the detailed contest rules... check the life framer award http://www.life-framer.com for exemple... To cover your self you should have people approval and avoid famous building that are likely to be recognizable (property copyright).

To De-mold the figure: Let the candy harden on the counter,typically about 30 minutes. Pop the piece out by gently holding the mold with your thumbs on top and fingers on the bottom of the mold and flexing it out and up.

In Royden's Real Analysis:
On $\mathbb{R}$, a set which is a countable union of closed sets is called an $F_\sigma$. Thus every countable set is an $F_\sigma$, as is, of course, every closed set. A countable union of sets in Fa is again in $F_\sigma$. Since $$(a, b)= \cup_{n=1}^\infty [a + 1/n, b - 1/n],$$ each open interval is an $F_\sigma$, and hence each open set is an $F_\sigma$.
Each open interval is an $F_\sigma$, but why is each open set an $F_\sigma$? An open set can be uncountable union of open intervals.
If we are considering a general Borel sigma algebra instead of $B(\mathbb R)$, will each open set be an $F_\sigma$?

The Rama rules (OC 27:4 based on Teshuvat HaRashba 1:827) that there is only a problem of a chatzitza (separation between the tefillin and the skin) under the boxes not the straps. The Mishna Berura there (sk 16) notes that most later authorities only accept this for the parts of the straps that do not directly relate to the tying (ie. the parts between the box and the knots). In your case, where the potential chatzitza is very far away from the box, it shouldn't be much to worry about.
Furthermore, Rav Ovadia Yosef rules (Yabia' Omer 2 OC 2) that one need not remove his watch when putting on his tefillin because it is far enough away from the box. Seemingly he would agree that in your case (especially since there is a medical need) you may be lenient and not worry about a chatzitza.
Shalom, If you look in the Mishna Brurah quoted above (OC 27:4 MB sk16) you will see that you can be lenient with regards to chatzitzah in the place of the "krichos" but whatever is shayach to the "keshira" you should be machmir .
The question you have to ask is what is the distinction between what is shayach to the keshira vs what is shayach to the krichos?
It was pointed out to me that is OC 25:11 Mishna Brurah sk38 he brings the Tshuvas Mishkenos Ya'akov and says "his position is also like our minhag to initially wrap on the arm for chizuk since without that it will not endure and is not called "keshira". According to this MB it seems like all of the wrapping you do on your arm is shayach to the keshira and therefore you should be machmir not to have a chatzitzah.
You could make a chiluk between the two Mishna Brurah's but at face value it requires some work.
Now I would have said like Double AA but because of this MB I would want to do some more research before I would confidently state the MB's psak.

One of the biggest worries many people have during a power outage is about the food in their refrigerator.
We checked with the Sullivan County Health Department about power outages and food safety. Employees there say if your power goes out try to keep door on the refrigerator closed as much as possible to try to keep the cold air inside.
We learned food should never be tasted to determine if it's safe.
If certain food items reach a temperature warmer than 40 degrees for at least two hours, it needs to be thrown out.
Glenda Bobalick is the Executive Director with the American Red Cross in Kingsport. She tells us, "If you have some ice chests, even the inexpensive ones, you can put your perishable food in that and pack it with ice."
The government has a website about food safety. To learn more visit www.foodsafety.gov.

How To Bend Rollcage Rollbars - Bending The Bar - How To Do ItWritten by on May 1, 2010 Fabbing A Rollcage Isn't Beyond Most Enthusiasts' Abilities.
Bending a rollbar is typically done by professional shops for two reasons: It requires special tools, and most of us don't have a clue how to do it. Neither of those are justification to pass on attempting the project. If you can weld (and we mean weld as in creating structural integrity, not gluing together pieces of metal), then there isn't a single reason not to tackle rollbars.
The limiting factor for most is the cost of the tubing bender. Proper mandrel tubing benders are somewhere between $800 and $1,600 by the time you get done buying dies and the accessories required for bending roll-bar-sized tubing. That's a chunk to shell out for a piece of equipment you'll rarely use, but paying a shop to bend a bar will cost more, and you don't get to point at a cool tool when your buddies come by your shop.
A tubing bender is one of those pieces you'll end up using more than you thought-driveshaft loops, exhaust pieces, inner structures for vintage bodies, and suspension components. You could even recoup some of the investment by bending parts for your buddies' cars. The problem with bending your own on an amateur basis is the same we've encountered while bending brake lines-you end up with a lot of trial and error before you get it right. We went over to Phillip Patch at Hardcoremetal works.com in Gainesville, Georgia, and received some pointers on measuring, marking, and bending rollbar tubing to hopefully keep your scrap pile as small as possible.
Bending Math
There's math involved when bending rollbars-mainly, you need to know where to mark your bends based on how much material is in the radius of the bend. If you measure side to side across the roof, you need to account for the distance occupied by the bends at each end. In other words, if your roof is 36 inches across, you don't start the bends 18 inches from the center of the bar. You must figure out how much area the tubing occupies while it's making the bend. These two formulas will give you an actual dimension to work with when figuring out your measurements.
1. Pi x (2 x centerline of radius) = Z (the radius of the bend) Z ÷ 4 = the tube stretch length that must be added to your measurements
2. For a 90-degree bend: bend degree ÷ 90 = bend percentage
3. For bends less than 90 degrees: tube stretch length x bend percentage = Y
More Information
There are how-to videos all over the web, while you can get dedicated programs such as Auto Cad that will figure all your angles and lengths after you input the data. Oddly, we didn't see much in the way of how-to instructions on any websites that sell the tubing benders-just instructions on how to set up their machines, secure the tubing in them, and make a bend, but nothing on measuring and figuring your dimensions.

There are a few ways to determine your marks-with a math formula or by trial and error with test pieces. If you're good with math, use the formula and you'll save yourself some material. If you're not good with numbers, make a test bend with the radius you need.This is the measurement you need to figure out: how much material is used through the distance of the stretch. A carpenter's square or a tape measure works. This distance must be subtracted from your total distance across the roof of the car and subtracted from both sides of your marked centerline of the tube. The measurement will be directly related to the angle of the bend: It will be different for an 80-degree bend than for a 65-degree bend.Even if you don't buy a tubing bender, this bubble level with a degree finder is handy to have in the shop. Made by Stanley, it's about $20 at any of the big box stores. You'll need to find the angle of your A-, B-, and C-pillars to run the tubes next to them, and this makes it a lot easier. A digital protractor is another option, though much more expensive.Generally speaking, you won't need more than a 10-foot tube to create the main hoop, but take a couple of rough measurements to verify. You'll cut off any excess, but you can't add material if you're short. Begin by finding and marking the center point of the tubing. All future measurements and bends will be based off this mark. Check your sanctioning body's rules on tube diameter and wall thickness.There are a number of tubing benders on the market. A mandrel bender supports the tubing on the inside of its radius and pulls the tube around the mandrel, stretching the material around the outside of the radius. This keeps the outer diameter of the tubing uniform (or nearly so) through the bend, keeping the tubing's strength.Cheaper benders support the ends of the tubing at the outside of the radius and push in the middle. This causes the inside of the radius to push in, weakening the tubing. This type of bend on a main hoop won't pass tech for most sanctioning bodies. Muffler shops use benders that make this kind of bend.Once the initial bend is in, the angles and lengths for the top portion of the B-pillar must be figured and measured. Again, use trial and error or the math equation. You'll need to know the total length of that run, figuring in the amount of material stretched through the bends at the top of the hoop and where the tubing runs down along the doorjamb.
You're drawing one die in an arc, and it slides over the tubing through this travel. A little grease on the die makes things go easier. You should also spend time cleaning the tubing with a Scotch-Brite pad to remove any rust scale or grime. This will keep your dies from getting scuffed, reduce friction during the bending process, and make marking the tubing easier.Once the math is done and your line is marked, fix the tube into the bender, lining up the marks according to the machine's instructions.Better benders will have a degree ring and stops, though sometimes it's an extra-cost option. Without the degree ring, repeatability for both sides of the main hoop is nearly impossible.For all subsequent bends, you'll need to ensure that the tube remains level and square in the bender or your main hoop will be twisted radially.We don't want to finish this by saying, "That's all there is to it," but that's all there is to it. This isn't rocket science. Once you get a feel for the machine and how it works the metal, the math becomes less daunting. And if you simply don't want to work with the numbers, an extra stick of tubing or two won't break the bank-some trial and error will get you the measurements you need.

7 Planes Perfectly Designed (To Kill The People Flying Them)
We don't know if you've ever tried it, but trust us when we say that building aircraft is really, really hard. It takes large teams of smart people a long time and a lot of money. Building a military aircraft is even harder -- it not only needs to fly, it needs to survive repeated attacks and make other planes dead. So you can imagine the care and expense nations put into building them.
But sometimes, they just slap something together and send the pilot off to die.
#7. The Royal Aircraft Factory BE9 "Pulpit"
It was a pretty simple idea. During World War I, the British Royal Aircraft Factory, or RAF, wanted a fighter plane with guns that could shoot forward. So they took an existing plane and stuck a gunner onto the front of it. Seems like a pretty straightforward solution.
The only problem ...
Their method of adding a gunner? Strapping him in front of the propeller in a plywood box that earned the nickname "the pulpit," presumably to try to remind the gunner that he was about to meet God.
Should the BE. experience even the lightest crash, the gunner was guaranteed to be crushed by the firing V8 engine mounted to his back. It honestly didn't matter, however, since the gunner was much more likely to be sucked into the whirling propeller blades like a Bond villain long before then.
Because there was no shielding used whatsoever between the gunner and the roaring vortex of death behind him, anything loose on his person, be it a scarf, wallet or goddamn arm while swinging the gun, was instantly sucked into the propeller blades. The gunner had no choice but to literally hold on for dear life until he either tired out or landed. And because the screaming engine was placed between the helpless gunner and the plane's oblivious pilot, the gunner had no way to communicate his fatigue to the pilot until the spray of his guts hit him in the face.
#6. The Idiot-Proof Bachem BA-349 Natter
Low on airports and resources, and destined to lose and spend the next century as the go-to villain for lazy sci-fi writers, the Nazis needed a plane that could turn the tables. The Natter promised to be that plane. And it lied.
Instead of taking off from a conventional runway, the Natter saved space and time by being launched with rockets off a vertical structure. Once in the air, it would take down enemy aircraft with its own weapons before ejecting both the pilot and its rocket engine. Its cheap build was mostly wood, and it had a wingspan of only about 12 feet. And because there was no landing or takeoff, the pilot (supposedly) needed no training to fly!
What could possibly go wrong?
The only problem ...
OK, let's review: The plan was to take a tiny wooden plane with a wingspan shorter than a Mini Cooper, power it with rockets capable of over 4,000 pounds of thrust, aim it straight up into the air, pilot it with some random dude not considered a good enough pilot to fly a regular plane, and send the whole rig careening off into the clouds at 500 mph.
Oh, and its weapons? Thirty-six unguided rockets. Because if you're going to base an airplane on what's basically a suicidal mad-lib rocket and have it flown by whoever called "not it" last, you might as well throw three dozen more rockets into the mix.
"More rockets! -- Hitler"
The amazing thing is that, from the day the idea was first mentioned in the Nazi "Increasingly Ludicrous Ideas Proposal Meetings," it was designed, built and given its first test flight just six months later. Most people spend longer deciding on cell phone providers than the Nazis did planning this rocket-fueled disaster.
It was the T-Mobile of fighter planes.
And because the war made supplies hard to come by, huge corners were cut in its construction. Like an eight-year-old pasting together models, the Nazis made the Natter out of wood and glue because, hell, at this point they're just making their "pilots" a flying coffin anyway. They also couldn't afford to make an ejection seat, instead letting the (and we cannot stress this enough) woefully unready pilot unbuckle himself and leap out while going over 600 mph, but not before opening the canopy held on by an old furniture hinge.
The first and only manned test flight ended when the canopy ripped off in mid-flight, striking the pilot in the head and sending the plane screaming into the ground. Finally seeing the ridiculousness of the Natter's design, the Nazis abandoned this aircraft for good ... but not before building 36 more for immediate use.
Those wacky Nazis. When will they learn?
Almost all of them were intentionally destroyed not for their insanity, but because the Nazi designers feared the Americans would steal this awesome technology. The question of why the Americans would want to steal the designs for a plane that killed more of its own crew than any enemies is the main reason why Hitler's brain is preserved in a jar to this day.
#5. The Face-Melting Albatros D-III
An agile German fighter plane during World War I, the Albatross D-III was amazingly aerodynamically advanced for its time. Its final redesign was very quick and maneuverable, making it a favorite for this guy named Manfred von Richthofen, otherwise known as the Red Baron.
The Red Baron flew it, racked up over a dozen kills, painted it red and made it one of the most iconic fighter planes in history. The final redesign, that is.
The only problem ...
There were problems with the early designs. No big deal. It could just, you know, literally melt the pilot's face off.
Face-melting ain't nothin' but a thing.
The plane's radiator was mounted directly above the pilot's head. Though this made it aerodynamic, any slight damage caused it to shoot its boiling contents straight into the pilot's face.
Imagine it like a clown getting hit in the face with a pie at the end of a joke, except instead of pie, it's a lava-hot, face-melting stream of water, and instead of a clown, it's a surprised pilot hundreds of feet in the air, and instead of being at the end of a joke, it was every time its wings cracked, which was all the time, thanks to another flaw that caused the wings to fail at high speeds.
Typical German pilot, circa 1916
In fact, the first draft of the Albatros D-III nearly succeeded in something thousands of men before it had failed at: killing the Red Baron. He suffered the wing-cracking problem during a flight and managed to land (many other pilots weren't so lucky) and refused to fly the damned thing until they fixed the design. This is a guy who routinely flew through thunderstorms and enemy territory to fight nearly a hundred battles against superior forces, and he felt spending another second flying in the D-III was too dangerous.
#4. The Wobbly Kalinin K-7
After WWI, Soviet Russia got to building planes the same way it built everything else: huge, and terrifying to look at.
Russia isn't exactly a subtle country.
The Kalinin K-7 was no exception. Measuring over 92 feet long, it had a 174-foot wingspan, making it bigger than the B-52. It had seven engines, seven gunners and 12 crew members were needed to keep the behemoth in the air.
Sup, comrades.
The Soviets planned to use the massive K-7 as a bomber, a cargo plane and, upon Stalin's bafflingly hypocritical request, a luxury high-end transport for VIPs. And because it could fit 120 people on board, the Soviets planned to drop bombs, paratroopers or even a goddamned tank out of it.
The only problem ...
There's a concept taught in middle school science called "resonance." If the right frequency is emitted, an object will resonate sympathetically. The designers of the K-7 were not familiar with this concept and equipped it with engines that hummed at the same frequency as the plane. On the K-7's maiden voyage, its tail shook like it was trying to escape from the rest of the craft, and the pilots were forced to land it before it fell apart.
"Perhaps if we made it larger ..."
Luckily, using the keen attention to detail that Stalin-era Russia was known for, the engineers sought out a subtle, elegant solution to the K-7's aerodynamic flaws ... oh, wait, no, they just haphazardly grabbed steel beams and welded the tail on. Carnies show more care repairing their dragon wagons with gum and duct tape than the Soviet engineers did fixing the K-7. Certain that this would be enough to fix that pesky wobbling tail, they held another test flight. We'll give you one guess as to how that turned out.
After the tail vibrated itself off, the airplane plunged straight into the ground. Upon seeing the colossal failure that was the K-7, Stalin understood and forgave its designer, Konstantin Kalinin. But not before arresting and executing him as an enemy of the state.
And that was the last time a Soviet engineer ever cut corners.

Why is the golden ratio lurking in $(d/dx)\arctan\left( x + \frac{1}{x} \right)$ $$ = \frac{\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)}{x^2 + \left(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^2} + \frac{\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)}{x^2 + \left(\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^2}\text{ ?} $$ Is this merely an instance of its (unbeknownst to me) lurking everywhere, or is something special about this particular arctangent of a sum?
(An arctangent of a sum seems like a bit of a freak, though.)

WEIRTON - Easing state regulations governing removal of dilapidated properties and paying for it emerged as a shared concern at Thursday's Brooke-Hancock Planning and Development Council meeting.
Chairman Mark Henne told the panel a recent B.A.D. Buildings workshop sponsored by the Northern Brownfield Assistance Center was packed with community leaders who were looking for help in eradicating dilapidated structures in their towns and cities.
"Something's going to have to come from the state," he said. "They don't necessarily have to do everything, but they have to streamline the process and take the handcuffs off."
The process now is time consuming and costly under West Virginia law. Weirton Mayor George Kondik said his council allocated $50,000 this year to remove unsafe and unsightly structures. That's enough to do 10 homes, he said.
New Cumberland Mayor Richard Blackwell said the battle doesn't stop once a building is razed: if a lien is attached to the property, city officials have to be cognizant of requirements for periodically renewing it. If a lien lapses and the cleared property sells, the community won't recoup its costs.
Henne said it's a statewide issue.
"Everyone has this problem, it's very high up on (their priorities)," he said, adding that redeveloping brownfields, removing dilapidated housing and redeveloping West Virginia cities is critical. "We're going to need some help (from the Legislature). The state has to make changes and we have to do a better job in our own communities."
In other matters, council members were updated on economic development activities throughout Brooke and Hancock counties.
Marvin Six, assistant director of the Business Development Corp. of the Northern Panhandle, said the group has six tenants in place at the former corrugating plant in Beech Bottom, and are developing a master plan for the 600-acre site, which includes roughly 120 acres of prime, riverfront property.
The newest tenant at the site, Jupiter Aluminum, is preparing to restart the paint line left there after the bankruptcy of former owner RG Steel.
"Other tenants there are tied in with the oil and gas industry," he said. "They're short-term tenants, but some of them are picking up (other contracts) in the area."
Six said the BDC is working with the owner of the old Brooke Glass site and was asked to look at two properties in Follansbee.
In Weirton, he told council members the BDC continues to work with Italian-based Pietro Fiorentini to prepare its $9 million plant in the Three Springs Drive business park. The company, which produces pressure regulators, valves and pressure reducing and metering systems for the oil and gas industry, will temporarily occupy space in the corrugating plant while its Three Springs Drive plant is built. Six said they'd visited the company's Italy operation to see first-hand what the company's requirements are.
He said there are 30-plus acres behind rue21 still to be developed, and said a local company looking to expand is interested in a five-acre parcel.
The old Taylor, Smith & Taylor property at Chester's north end also is attracting interest, he said. Two retail outlets have requested information.
"We'd like to have light manufacturing or commercial activity there," Six said, adding most companies are looking for direct access to the site. That's something they don't have, though he said they're working on it.
"We want someone that's going to fit into the community without a major disruption," he added. "We could have had a prospect in there already, but it would have meant about 30 trucks a day going in and out. We didn't feel that was appropriate for the site," which is located in a residential area.
Six also said brownfield assessments of the old football stadium in Weirton are being done. "There's one possible prospect there, but it's just in the preliminary stages," he said.
