Not only was the house in an amazing location, the room was immaculate and exactly what we needed for a one night stay. Our hosts were lovely and extremely accommodating, perfectly welcoming and recommended a fantastic restaurant. Would love to stay here again !
Rachel2016-10-09T00:00:00ZThanks for a fantastic stay! The accommodation was perfect - so many personal and thoughtful touches to make our time in Auldearn fantastic. Highly recommend to others.
Amy2016-11-16T00:00:00ZWe had a fabulous stay in this very pretty annex which is set in gorgeous grounds. The location is peaceful and relaxing and the accomodation itself is charming, comfortable and cosy. It felt like a real treat to stay there. Celia and Robin are very kind and considerate hosts. A fridge, toaster and kettle are provided along with a generous breakfast of cereals, bread, croissants, juice and a selection of teas and coffee. All much appreciated! Thanks for a great stay!
Denise2016-09-13T00:00:00ZLovely place to stay with wonderful surroundings. Only thing I would say it was tricky to find someone when we arrived and were knocking on doors for a while.
Sam 2016-11-15T00:00:00ZFirst class accommodation, delightful location and charming hosts . 10/10.
Doug2016-08-25T00:00:00ZCelia and Robin answered our pre-stay queries quickly and gave us a lovely welcome. The annex is on the side of their house with full access to their spacious and elegant garden. For us this was a one-night stay on our way home from the far north of Scotland but we will seriously think about a longer stay at Easter Arr another time.
John2016-09-15T00:00:00ZWe couldn't have been happier staying in Celia's home. Actually the fact that our entrance was private made it really feel like we were staying in a luxury hotel. Celia was a great communicator and the listing is exactly as it states it is, beautiful. Celia was over generous with the supply of food but we greatly appreciated it as we didn't feel like venturing out once we arrived. All of the extras she supplied really made our evening. Our gps brought us in a back road but if you are arriving at night I would suggest coming via the main town. What a pleasure it was to stay here. Thank you Celia for your hospitality. Your home is beautiful! Francina and Dan Creaney
Francina2016-10-03T00:00:00ZBeautiful location, Celia and Robin were very friendly and helpful. Ideal stay for a couple.

Lovely quiet location, just the place to get away from it all and recharge the batteries. Lots to do within a short drive. Jane is very quick to respond to any queries etc. Very helpful
Joyce2017-01-03T00:00:00ZVery nice place and good location
Ekaterina2016-10-07T00:00:00ZThe place was spotless and well equipped. Great location for exploring the Highlands and so quiet and peaceful. The hot tub and gardens are great for relaxing after a days adventures. Couldn't fault it and sad we had to leave.
Tracy-Ann2016-08-16T00:00:00ZHad a wonderful time! Everything was as described and more. The place itself was clean, pleasant, and easy to use all the comforts of home. Great location to sight-see from and to come home to and the end of the day.
Emma2014-08-26T00:00:00ZThe Hideaway was a real home away from home, with the comfiest beds we've slept on in four weeks of travelling! It has everything you need to relax indoors if the weather is inclement, gorgeous yard and hot tub for fairer weather (with a clean sandpit and slide for the kids!) and is close enough to Inverness to thoroughly explore all the sites. Jane was a great host, very responsive and eager to help. Would definitely recommend The Hideaway to others, and would stay again!
Lauren2016-06-06T00:00:00ZIm Vorfeld bereits unkomplizierter Kontakt per Email und SMS, die Beschreibungen waren sehr zutreffend. Das Angebot des hot tub wurde immer erneuert und die Nachbarschaft war unkompliziert und freundlich,
Johannes2015-05-17T00:00:00ZWhat a superb find! A beautiful little house. Warm, homely, comfortable, everything presented wonderfully. I'm sad to say, I didn't meet Jane, but her communication is swift and friendly and it makes it feel like we must've met. She'd left a key for a mega-late arrival. There's a good handy information booklet, and all is made so straightforward. As ever, I was working, so the cottage made for an excellent retreat at the end of each busy day. Home from home
Nick2016-07-15T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely time in Hideaway Cottage with our 3 year old little boy. The cottage is clean and very well maintained as shown in the pictures. Perfect place for 3 with a beautiful garden. Easily accessible to Inverness and Loch Ness. The Host Jane was always available on phone to address our concerns. Over all had a very comfortable stay.

Frances's house is a modern one-storey place in what looks like a newish development on the east side of Nairn - a longish walk to get to the centre of town, or take the car. We were very comfortable here - the house was pristine, the beds super comfy, the shower excellent, the kitchen well set up for self-catering, and the central heating worked well. We had good communication with Frances, though we didn't get to meet her unfortunately (she was abroad), so a neighbour left us some keys. Lots of interesting places to visit round about, wonderful beaches, and we were blessed with the most amazing sunny weather! We would happily stay here again.
Dominique2016-10-11T00:00:00ZGreat value for money. The house was exactly as described and shown in the pictures. Check-in was easy. Even though Frances herself was not there, she ensured that her neighbour left the keys for us and checked in with us to see how we had settled during our stay. The house is very well maintained and clean and could easily sleep 4 people. There were brochures about what we could do in and around the area as well. We mostly drove to Cairngorms and Aviemore everyday for a hour and it was convenient. On the neighbour's suggestion we also went walking along the beach cone day to see the seals. All in all a very good experience and would definitely go there again.

INMA2017-01-23T00:00:00ZVery good persons, they helped us with the keys, the house was very clean and it was beautiful. It was perfect.
David2016-12-30T00:00:00Zsoggiorno fantastico!!Mary è stata gentilissima e ci ha messo a disposizione tutto quello di cui avevamo bisogno. Tutto era pulito e la camera davvero deliziosa con l' angolo colazione compresa molto fornito e organizzato. Consiglio davvero questo alloggio...
Giulia2017-01-08T00:00:00ZA warm welcome and a great place to stay. Mary was very happy to have two young children staying in her home and went out of her way to make us welcome. The accommodation is spotless and very well presented. A cooked breakfast would have got 12 out of 10 instead of 10 out of 10

Ha sido una experiencia fantástica. La casa es perfecta. Totalmente equipada y confortable. Situada en un pueblo muy tranquilo, pero cerca de Nairn, que cuenta con todos los servicios. Si volvemos a la zona, volveremos a alojarnos en Alba Cottage.
JON2015-08-04T00:00:00ZEine geräumige und sehr ansprechende Unterkunft, die als Ausgangsziel für viele interessante Ausflüge und Besichtigung diente. Die Einrichtung ist neu, sauber und gemütlich. Die Wohnung verfügt über alles, was man braucht. Die Kommunikation hat reibungslos funktioniert, die Gastgeber sehr freundlich. Diese Unterkunft kann man bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen.
Anke2016-08-22T00:00:00ZMy son and I spent 5 days of a golfing holiday in this modern, clean and very pleasant apartment that is situated in a charming small village. Jane was very helpful with directions and communication throughout. The apartment has all the modern conveniences and convenient parking. It is situated close to beautiful golf courses and many other tourist attractions. I can only highly recommend Alba Cottage.
Johan2015-10-19T00:00:00ZThe cottage was awesome and bring us the breakfast for the 1st day was really nice. So It was a really great experience for us (1st time in Scotland). Thank you so much.
Coraline2015-08-21T00:00:00ZThis property is just as listed on the website. It's a modern updated interior in a beautiful older building with a lot of character. The location is very quiet and peaceful, with easy access to the coast, Inverness, Highlands, and Cairngorms National Park. The property was perfect for our party of 3 adults. As it was near the end of a 2-week trip, the presence of a washing machine and full kitchen for cooking were very welcome! Jane was very good about communicating with us and making arrangements for our arrival. Check in and check out were super convenient. We recommend this property for anyone looking for a nice place in the Highlands.
Ted2015-08-17T00:00:00ZThe cottage was lovely and a fantastic way to see in the New Year. The place was very clean and modern. We hoped to see the Northern Lights (it was too cloudy but hopefully next year!) I would highly recommend this cottage to stay.
Andrew2016-01-04T00:00:00ZI didn't meet Jane face to face but the stay was fantastic. Tre cottage was well furnished and really clean. It was well located to tour the local area. We had a great time in the north of Scotland. Highly recommended.
Angela2017-01-07T00:00:00ZThe Alba cottage was simply superb. It was so clean and tidy and the host was very responsive and communicated very well. We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back.

Nina had been an extremely good host. She messaged me to enquire when we would be arriving as she wanted to show us the house and explained how the amenities worked. Although she was running late as she needed to send her daughter off to a dancing class, she made it a point to meet us upon arrival. In fact she was awaiting us outside the house when we arrived! She has a lovely home indeed. It is sparkling clean and very comfy. Everything was perfect. The beds were so comfortable. She even left us stuff for our breakfast and this was indeed very thoughtful of her. When I enquired of her about some tourists attractions before we arrived, she made it a point to check it out for us and even got us the appropriate brouchures - this is indication of her kind nature. Her lovely home is located within wonderful surroundings with a good neighbourhood. We could see children playing out in the evening when we arrived. It is very quiet and especially good after a long tired day. Her garden at the back of the house is so pretty and neat. She obviously put in a lot of effort & sweat into making this a lovely home to stay. Her place is so near the main town which is just about half an hour away by car. It was a pity we only stayed a night. We were quite reluctant to leave this beautiful home the next day. Nina had been such a wonderful host and we strongly recommend her to others who seek out a good home to stay in.
Chen Weng2016-06-12T00:00:00ZNina was friendly and accomodating. Her house was near the city centre and the apartment was very clean. It was cosy and my friends and I loved the apartment. Definitely recommend this place if you are coming to Nairn!
Jared2016-12-22T00:00:00ZComplete, very spacious house with a private atmosphere. Nina was a very nice host. They were beautiful days. On our next visit to Nairn (Scotland) we will stay here again. +++++++++
Heinz2016-06-29T00:00:00ZWhat a marvelous stay in Nina's place. All was perfect to rest and to visit the neighborhood. The Lochness is less then 30 min by car. Next to a beautiful beach. The house was perfectly cleaned and very well equiped!
Emmanuel2016-09-28T00:00:00ZNina made us feel welcome, showed us round the house etc. and provided her number should we have any queries afterwards. The house was lovely and looked exactly the same as the photos on the website and we weren't disappointed. We had a great time in Nairn.
Susan2016-05-17T00:00:00ZNina was a great host. She met us in person and showed us around her beautiful house. The house is a definite recommendation for families with but also without kids. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with easy access to the beach. We would loved to have stayed longer!
Jim2016-10-26T00:00:00ZPerfect - Nina came and fetch us in the centre since our GPS did not seem to know this spire crescent !
Yves2016-06-02T00:00:00ZNina was great to coordinate with - very responsive and accommodating when our plans changed. The house was big and open with a nice private backyard but could be a bit cleaner. The neighborhood was very family-friendly in a decent town. Nina's was very kid oriented with toys and decorations all over. If you need a place to stay for your family, this is a great option. If not, this may not be the right place for you!

Garry2016-09-27T00:00:00ZWhat a fabulous house in an incredible location. Great room and shower, both with fantastic views. Tommy could not have been more welcoming and had lots of great tips about where to eat, places to see etc. Thanks so much.
Sophie2016-09-15T00:00:00ZTommy has a very charming cosy peaceful house and is a great host, full of local knowledge and very helpful ..
Nicola, Gordon and Robbie2016-12-04T00:00:00ZTommy's place is fantastic! Beautifully worked interior space, great views (even from the shower!), and right next to the beach! (And golf courses, if you are interested in that.) Warm and welcoming host, just a wonderful 2 day experience for my wife and I.
Peter2016-09-04T00:00:00ZBeautiful location, great host and a very spacious room (with a view). If only for one night, I had a really good time in Nairn!
Robert2016-11-08T00:00:00ZTommy and Jemma were very open, creative and caring hosts. They gave us great advice for nearby activities, pubs and restaurants. The room had a great seaview and it was very cozy and clean. We would definetly stay over again!
Moira2016-09-04T00:00:00ZEverything ok but missing toiletries like shampoo and shower gel it would be a plus but the room itself was comfortable, thanks tommy

Morag is a wonderful host with a beautiful room/separate bathroom optimally situated along the boardwalk of the Nairn River that flows into the North Sea. The street the home is on is also a great location in the town with a music/food bar, fabulous local fresh fish and chip shop and great Indian food all doors away from her place. Morag is a very warm, wonderful hostess that will make your stay in Nairn a great experience! Well worth it to stay with her! Highly recommended!
Catherine2016-01-22T00:00:00ZMorag was very welcoming when we arrived and the scenery of the river was beautiful. Her house is spotless, very cozy and the bed was very comfortable. The highlight for me was breakfast. The tea and chat were great. Would highly recommend staying here.
Gwinavere2016-08-03T00:00:00ZMorag is a lovely host; friendly, open and welcoming. Loved my stay. It's such a great location so close to beach and town. Would come again any time. x
Ian2016-09-04T00:00:00ZMorag's location in Nairn is perfect, walking distance from the railway station and the town centre, and it is also close to the beach and right by the river. The room was really clean and the bed was very comfortable, the shared bathroom was also nice and clean. Morag was a lovely host, easy to talk to and very helpful, she even posted my scarf back to London for me after I accidentally left it behind. Thoroughly enjoyable stay and highly recommended.
Ying2016-07-18T00:00:00ZStaying with Morag was pure delight...a breathtaking location by the river, a quick walk to Moray Firth, an airy, artsy, beautiful and gracious home and lovely, welcoming bedroom. Morag made my stay so much more than a touristy B&B visit...her authenticity, warmth, and creative touches as a hostess made it magic. She not only welcomed me into her home; she welcomed me into her world: a close and friendly community in the town, just a hop, skip and jump from the wild ecosystems of the water. I would return in a heartbeat.
Phila2016-04-16T00:00:00ZMorag is a beautiful person and an amazing host, very welcoming and caring. Her home is lovely, carefully decorated with semplicity and taste. And very clean and tidy. The location is spectacular, just a few yards from Nairn beach and Cluny Forest. My very quiet room overlooked the river and a park. My best experience with airbnb and bed and breakfast in general. I will come back.
Laura2015-09-18T00:00:00ZMorag was very welcoming in her charming old fishermans's cottage. Interesting to talk to and very helpful with local information, directions etc. Attractive comfortable room and bathroom right next door with a great shower. Very pleasant stay - thanks.
Andrew2016-06-23T00:00:00ZSolid 5 star experience with Morag. Extremely warm welcome and lovely house. Had my own bathroom next to nice room with desk to work on. All very clean and everything was there you might need. The river calmly flows in front of the house, alongside it takes just minutes to walk to the beach. Morag really makes you feel at home and sparks great conversations. If you are tall, just make sure you duck when going through doorways :)

Eleanor2017-01-26T00:00:00ZBeautiful well appointed flat and warm welcoming hosts. The flat was spacious, warm (we stayed in winter), luxurious and had everything we needed plus more. Hazel who greeted us was very welcoming and friendly and very eager to help. The flat is very central to everything and within a very short walk to shops etc. In summary it was wonderful and very good value. I can highly recommend.
Erica2017-01-11T00:00:00ZBrilliant accommodation Very clean and tidy Definitely recommend
Craig2017-03-10T00:00:00ZI gave this apartment five stars! This is one of the best listings I have stayed at on my Scottish holiday. Super new and clean, just perfect. Very well appointed with fast wifi, excellent enclosed shower and bathroom amenities, plenty of power points in the rooms, mirrors and good lighting. The kitchen also has everything you need. Our host was just great and she was there to meet and greet us and gave us lots of local tips. She couldn't have been more helpful and was always just a phone call away. I would recommend The Luxury Riverbank Apartments in Nairn with no hesitation. We will be back! Thank you!

Our stay at the apartment was amazing. Hazel couldn't have been more welcoming and the apartment itself was the best airbnb we have stayed in (and we use airbnb a lot). I cannot recommend the apartment enough. We hope to stay there again.
Neil2017-02-14T00:00:00ZRegular communication, sent info we requested very quickly, meet us at the apt both when we arrived and when we were leaving. The apt was beautifully clean, modern and well maintained.
annie2016-09-30T00:00:00ZOur host, Hazel, was wonderful. She waited outside for us when we were later than expected and she put the kettle on for us so we had something warm to drink on arrival. She provided everything that was expected when you stay at a hotel, and more. We appreciated the care Hazel took in decorating the apartment and making sure that we were comfortable. She took the time to research areas that we were interested in seeing in Nairn. We would recommend staying here to everyone back home who wish to visit Scotland. Thank you Hazel.
Dave2016-10-10T00:00:00ZHazel gave us a very warm welcome upon our arrival and had indeed been most helpful and informative prior to our arrival. The property was well appointed, spotless and to a high standard. All the bedrooms were to a high standard and extremely quiet. The layout of the apartment is such that no one bedroom abutted another so we could all snore to our hearts' content without disturbing each other! Hazel provided a good variety of information on the town and eateries which we enjoyed visiting. We will return
Patricia2017-02-20T00:00:00ZWow! A truly beautiful apartment that is finished and styled like a show home but comfortable like a home from home..the apartment offers everything you'll need for a great stay and the smallest of details have been provided by Hazel to make your stay perfect! There is lots of information in the apartment on what to do and see in the local area which was really useful! The apartment is amazingly well situated for access to the shops and restaurants, but also great for a walk along the beach! We'd recommend this apartment to everyone and if we find ourselves heading this way again we'd re-book without hesitation. The Shaw's x
Faye2017-02-26T00:00:00ZWe stayed in Hazels lovely home over Christmas 2016. We received a very warm welcome and were shown round upon arrival. The property is super clean, nicely laid out and much more spacious than we were expecting. The beds are very comfortable too. The location is great. Nairn is a picturesque little town and the property is an ideal spot. You can walk down to the harbour and beach, there is Nairn river which you can walk along and which you have beautiful views of. It is close to a very large supermarket as well as other smaller convenience stores. There are some restaurants, a pharmacy, bakeries, etc. Transport links are also good. It is easy to drive to or from Inverness or Aberdeen. There are also other small towns nearby to visit. Between Hazels wonderful property and the beautiful location we would all highly recommend a stay here.
Bruce2017-01-02T00:00:00ZWe had a fantastic stay for Hogmanay! The apartment is beautiful, and had everything you could need. There were some lovely thoughtful festive touches throughout the apartment. Hazel was great host, providing us with loads of helpful suggestions beforehand. Hazel met us on arrival and was very welcoming. Nairn has a fab beach, some lovely eateries and cafes, and is close to the airport, Loch Ness and the Cairngorms. A truely great location!
Samantha2017-01-03T00:00:00ZVery comfortable flat, perfect for family ! Nairn is lovely, flat on the Riverside very nice.Hazel and her husband are lovely and helpful.

Un séjour très agréable à Nairn dans le beau cottage d'Amy et Dee. Il est très bien situé, près de la plage, du port, du supermarché et du centre-ville, tout en étant au calme dans un quartier agréable. Très bien rénové, clair et très bien équipé, il nous a permis d'avoir un cocon douillet en rentrant de nos découvertes de la région. Toutes les indications étaient très claires et détaillées ; de plus, plein de bonnes idées de sorties et de découvertes. On se sent comme à la maison. N'hésitez pas à y séjourner si vous voulez découvrir cette belle région d'Ecosse !
Stephanie2015-08-18T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our stay in the quaint sea side cottage in Nairn. Everything was as described by Amy and Dee. The wifi was great and all shops, stores, and the train stations were in walking distance. We would recommend anyone visiting Nairn to stay here.
Angela2015-04-26T00:00:00ZThe cottage was lovely. It was clean, homely and had everything we needed. It's in a great location for access to walks along the beach or river and not far from Inverness. Amy & Dee provided lots of clear information to make our trip special and answered questions before we arrived quickly. I would recommend this place to anyone!
Heather2015-12-27T00:00:00ZReally well stocked kitchen, everything clean and comfortable. Great neighbors in the most charming hood in a charming town. Really enjoyed exploring Nairn and the area. The woodland walk at nearby Brodie Castle highly recommended. And try to find the "secret beach" in Nairn for a long walk on white sands. We only heard of it as we were about to leave. There's a great organic co-op on the short drive to Fort Gordon. Most of all the people are all a joy to meet!
Ralph2017-01-28T00:00:00ZArriving at the cottage was lovely. It was horrible weather and to come in to a warm, cosy cottage with milk and tea bags at the ready was delightful. Amy and Dee are lovely and were really helpful when I had to change my dates at the last minute. I was in Nairn on a uni placement so didn't have much time to explore but what I did see I loved. The Classroom was a fantastic dinner - the chef cooks fish perfectly. Connage Cheese Pantry in Ardersier has one of the best selections from the UK and around the world that I've seen. Sky Delights in town has a fantastic range of organic goods, from veggies and sweets to toiletries and household goods. I met a lot of locals on my placement and everyone in the area is absolutely lovely. I would definitely consider coming back for a holiday and staying at Sutors Hauf again.
Kate2016-02-08T00:00:00ZSutor's Hauf was fantastic. The bed was comfy, the sheets were soft, and the cottage was very clean. Nairn is a beautiful town and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. My husband and I could not have asked for a more peaceful and relaxing vacation. Amy and Dee had excellent recommendations for our stay, we really enjoyed the Bandstand and The Havelock. The beaches were beautiful and the walking paths around Nairn were a delight. We would recommend Sutor's Hauf to anyone in search of a romantic getaway. We cannot wait to come back!
Colleen2015-10-07T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely stay in Sutors Hauf and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The cottage is clean, comfortable and well presented. Prompt communications from Amy and Dee. Also in a great location.

Our theme this month is easy and inexpensive.
We were able to buy two big Ida Red apples at our local ethnic grocery store and we made enough crumble for 6 servings. We used old-fashioned oatmeal because it has more texture.
The crumble goes great with a little dairy. That could be yogurt, heavy cream, or... you made me say it... ice cream.
We didn't factor in the ice cream when we made our budget but we saved enough money on the rest of the meals by cooking ourselves that we could splurge.
{Makes 6 - 8 servings}

No. 1 Sunday Times Bestseller. 'Can't fail to move' The Sunday Times ALL AUTHOR PROCEEDS DONATED TO THE AMY WINEHOUSE FOUNDATION. As an artist, she had few peers. Her lyrical prowess and timeless contralto vocals made her an instant revelation when her debut album Frank was released in 2003. And as her star continued to rise it became evident that this seemingly delicate girl from north London was much more than just a precocious talent. Genius, inspiration, icon; there are many ways to describe Amy Winehouse, but it was her wit, charm and lust for life that cemented her place in the hearts of her fans. Here, using exclusive extracts from his own personal diaries, Amy's father and confidant Mitch celebrates what influenced his daughter. Documenting her early years from Sylvia Young to the Brit School, and the darker side of her life as she struggled to cope with her addictions under the glare of the media spotlight, he gives new insights. With never before seen photos, notes and drawings, this book brings together the many layers of Amy's life - the personal, the private and the public - to create an honest and intensely moving account of the life of the most talented recording artist of her generation.Create a review

About Excavators Excavators are used to excavate, move, or lift materials using a bucket fitted to a boom. These are self-propelled machines that run on crawlers or wheels. Excavators are versatile heavy construction machinery used for applications such as below- and above-ground-level operations, including land leveling, trench digging, and sinking of wells. The demand for excavators in Turkey is rapidly increasing because the government of Turkey is investing in large infrastructure construction projects such as the Istanbul high-speed railway, IGA airport, and Akkuyu nuclear power plant.

Panetta to push for new BRAC rounds
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was expected Thursday to request two new rounds of military base closures as part of upcoming Pentagon budget cuts. That follows a Pentagon decision to cut the number of Army combat brigades from 45 to 32.
There was no immediate indication how those actions might affect Fort Riley.
"At this point in time, I really don't know," said John Armbrust, of the Governor's Military Council.
The BRAC proposal was reported in the Army Times, which said Panetta would brief reporters Thursday afternoon. The Defense Department is expected to begin cutting $487 billion from projected spending over the next decade.
Legislation from Congress is necessary to close or consolidate military bases in the country. The first step is creating a Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC), which would study the issue and make recommendations. The last BRAC took place in 2005.
Panetta is expected to seek one BRAC in 2013 and a second in 2015.
Ostensibly, reducing the total number of brigades will increase the size of the remaining brigades. It would ensure the combat capabilities of each brigade. Armbrust said that part is an important aspect.
Armbrust said it's too early to tell whether Fort Riley might lose or gain troops if the BRACs take place. He said the community will have to work through the issue as it progresses.

Broncos Execs Take On New Roles In Wake Of Sundquist Departure
Published March 14, 2008
The Broncos' plan in the aftermath of the departure of GM Ted Sundquist "calls for a team-oriented approach, with [coach Mike] Shanahan again having final say," according to Rasizer & Legwold of the ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS. The organization "privately bristled Thursday at the notion of chaos" within their franchise, "even if no one would speak publicly" about Sundquist's departure. Rasizer & Legwold note the feeling behind the scenes "appeared to be things should be calmer" despite the bad timing of Sundquist's exit. Dir of Player Personnel Jim Goodman "lacks the [GM] title but will have his hands all over the pro and college scouting process," and his son, Assistant GM Jeff Goodman, will "put his law degree to use in contract negotiations." Broncos COO Joe Ellis seems "poised to take charge of the video, training and equipment staffs under" the new structure, and Dir of Football Administration Mike Bleum will "continue monitoring the salary cap." Sundquist had "handled many of those duties.'' On the surface, it "would be simple" to call the changes "another power play by a coach who essentially has free rein, answering to no one but [Owner Pat] Bowlen, who rarely gives him the red light." From the club's view, however, the additions "were meant to lighten the load" as Sundquist was "seen as resistant of that change." It appears Shanahan was "frustrated by what he perceived as a lack of strong conviction by Sundquist" (ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS, 3/14).
REAX: In Denver, Mike Klis writes the tension between Shanahan and Sundquist "was becoming increasingly palpable throughout the organization." Shanahan "ultimately felt the friction was detrimental to the team's ability to conduct business. Not that this strain was Sundquist's fault. But the strain had to be alleviated" (DENVER POST, 3/14). Also in Denver, Bernie Lincicome writes the dismissal of Sundquist "means little in the big picture." Lincicome: "Sundquist generally managed the Broncos in the same way that a flight attendant flies an airplane." At some point, however, Shanahan "is going to have to be held responsible for what the Broncos are, and these days they are NFL afterthoughts" (ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS, 3/14). The DENVER POST's Mark Kiszla writes of Sundquist's departure: "That's not a football team in transition. It's an NFL organization plagued by turmoil. ... The finger of blame must be pointed at Shanahan." Kiszla: "No matter how much he loves his coach, [Bowlen] should begin to wonder if Shanahan causes more turmoil than he solves" (DENVER POST, 3/14). NFL Network's Marshall Faulk: "I never knew of a head coach to fire a GM, but obviously, there's a fall guy. ... How can you give a head coach everything that he wants and the guy that loses his job is the GM?" ("NFL Total Access," NFL Network, 3/13).

Fanon:Jean Redfield
this wiki
Jennifer Curtiz (née Redfield), or commonly known as Jean, is the second eldest child of John and Lily Redfield, twin of Leona Delgado, sister of Chris Redfield, adoptive sister of Charlie Redfield, wife of Alex Curtiz, and mother of Daniel Curtiz.
She's one of main characters in A Sim's Tale series; a deuteragonist in Book 1, the main protagonist in Book 2 (alongside Leona and Chris), and a supporting character in Book 3.
Jean was born in Twinbrook. During their time in the town, Leona and Jean were friends with their neighbors, Annie and Enrico Delgado. However, the Delgado family moved to the other town after a year lived in Twinbrook.
Several years later, after her father, John, had a conflict with her grandfather, Thomas, Jean and her family left Twinbrook and moved to Sunset Valley.
Jean was 9 years old when they moved.
Unlike Leona, Jean originally didn't wanted to move to Sunset Valley and afraid won't be made any friends with everyone in the new town. At some point after her arrival, Jean would met Alex Curtiz, a boy who lived not far from her house.
In her first day of school, Jean and Leona met their first friend, Bella Bachelor during their way to the school and later introduced to other children such Darlene Bunch, Kaylynn Langerak, and Mortimer Goth (even though Mortimer was acting coldly toward the Redfield twins at first).
Jean became very close with Alex after the latter attempted to won a telescope for her, even though he failed, Jean appreciated his intention. However, in a later day, Alex would won a telescope and gave it to her.
Following the arrest of Nancy Landgraab, Jean and her friends decided to checked Malcolm in his home to gave him support.
Several months after moved to the town, Jean and her family would returned to made a visit to her grandparents house in Twinbrook, when she witnessed her father getting reconciled with her grandfather.
Several years later, Jean would would passed the elementary and middle schools, becoming a high schooler. Jean was recognized as one of the smartest students in the Community High School.
When her uncle, Peter Manhattan had an accident, she and her family promptly came to Appalosa Plain to checked on his condition.
During her third year, Jean, now 16 years old, was chosen to participate in the student exchange program in France for one month. In the beginning of the story, Jean was already left for three weeks. During this time, Jean was dating a fellow student, Trigger Broke.
Jean's return to Sunset Valley was earlier than everybody thought. After she returned home, she reunited with her friends, including Enrico and Annie who just moved to the town. In a later day, Alex would confessed his love for her, but Jean was confused to gave him an answer since she was dating Trigger. After convinced by Leona and Bella, Jean eventually told Alex the truth about her relationship. However, Jean got a shocking news, Alex revealed that he had to move to Roaring Heights in the next month, that means her answer would not affect him.
It appeared that the news gave her an impact as she started to acting nervous whenever she met Alex. At some point, Jean also broke up with Trigger, claiming she simply couldn't handle a long distance relationship.
In one day, Jean was asked by Chris to help him made an Imaginary Friend Metamorphium Potion,but Jean declined as she didn't believe in myth, angering him. When Chris presumed missing, she and Leona went to find him. They that Chris, accompanied by Alex and Tamera, actually went to the Sunset Valley's old mine to find a Rainbow Gem, where they met and confront Big Steve Underwood. After finding the gem, Jean started to figure out how to made the potion.
During the prom, Jean finally revealed her true feelings toward Alex and the two shared a kiss. In the day when Alex's family moved out, Jean and Alex had one last conversation before bid farewell to each others.
Three months later, Jean finally did made the Imaginary Friend metamorphium potion. The potion then used to turned Chris' imaginary friend, Charlie, to became real.
Jean and her friends were introduced to new student Astrid Toadstool by Leona.
Four years later, Jean, who was 20 years old enrolled in Sims University alongside Leona, Bella, and Astrid, taking Science and Medicine major. Jean became one of the university's renowned students due to her perfect essays and presentations.
Jean's main problem was that she still couldn't forget Alex and still waiting for him. Unknown to Jean, Alex would be enrolled in the Sim University in the next semester as the latter already made a visit to the university.
During her semester break, she and Leona returned home for several weeks and would attend a reunion with their other friends.
The most surprising moment was when Alex Curtiz suddenly appeared before them. Jean was mad at first, but, after hearing Alex's explanation, she and the latter finally reconciled and officially became a couple.
Ten years later, Jean, now 30 years old, would eventually became a doctor, a neurosurgeon. She also married to Alex and had a son who they named Daniel.
As a child, Jean was considered to be a genius among the students in her school. Jean loved spending her time by reading books. Jean also a fan of a sci-fi movie. Just like her sister, Leona, Jean was easily irritated to someone she thought to be "weird", as shown during her first interaction with Alex Curtiz. However, after seeing Alex's kindness, Jean started to liking him.
As a teen, it was shown that Jean was a "supernatural skeptic", she didn't believed in Chris' claim to be had imaginary friend, even though, after Chris was out to find the rainbow gem and presumed missing, a regretful Jean decided to believe Chris' claim and helped him creating an Imaginary Friend metamorphium Potion to made Chris' Imaginary Friend, Charlie, turned into a real child.
Jean was very sad when she learned that Alex would moved to Roaring Heights since she actually in love with him and didn't want him to go. Jean also felt regret for dating someone else and "lying to her own feeling" toward Alex. After the Curtiz family moved, Jean became slightly over dramatic whenever she remembered Alex. This was happening until she became a young adult.
When she reunited with Alex, Jean had conflicted feelings. She did happy to saw her longtime lover again, but she also angry since Alex was never made a call to her for four years. They eventually reconciled after Alex told her his reason to never made a call and Jean eventually back to her old self.
- Originally, Jean would be the central protagonist of Book 1. However, since she was too young, I decided to made John as the protagonist instead to made more serious story.
- She eventually gain the protagonist title in Book 2, along with Leona and Chris.
- When she grown as teen, I didn't give her the fourth trait since I was confused what trait I should give.
- Jean suffers myopia

THE BRITISH COLUMBIA SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
March 6, 2013
Fifteen municipalities or non-profit organizations have been announced as recipients of the new BC SPCA Community Cat Spay/Neuter Grant Program. The program, funded in part by an SPCA donor who was concerned about the cat overpopulation crisis in B.C., will provide up to 1,000 operations and prevent 5,000 kitten births this year in B.C. communities.
"Feral cats are of particular concern on Vancouver Island where colonies have grown as a result of pet abandonment," says Amy Morris, officer of policy and outreach for the BC SPCA. She notes that nine of the grants have been awarded to Vancouver Island communities to help prevent further reproduction.
Across the province, $60,000 has been distributed to fund trap-neuter-return programs for feral cats and to provide low-income cat guardians with access to reduced-cost sterilization procedures for their pets. Seven municipalities have committed to matched funding and nine grants will help First Nations communities.
The grantees are:
Vancouver IslandGreater Victoria (Greater Victoria Animal Crusaders and Dee's Orphan Kitten Fund)Nanoose Bay (Nanoose First Nations Cat Rescue)Ucluelet (District of Ucluelet administered by Ukee SCAT)Port Alberni (BC SPCA Branch)Campbell River (BC SPCA Branch)Comox and Courtenay (Kitty Cat P.A.L. Society)Sayward (Sayward Abandoned Cat Rescue Society)Gold River (Village of Gold River)Pacific IslandsGaliano Island (Rest Q. Animal Sanctuary Society)Haida Gwaii (BC SPCA Branch)Quadra Island (Quadra Feral Cat Group)Western BCRobson Valley (Robson Valley Spay/Neuter Society)Central BCNicomen (Nicomen Indian Band)Squamish (S.N.A.P.P. Society)
Eligibility for funding was determined by evidence of a community problem with homeless and unwanted cats, the ability to match funds within the community and the participation of a veterinarian willing to discount his or her services.
"Pet overpopulation is an issue in every community," says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. "The BC SPCA spends nearly $2 million each year on spay/neuter initiatives across the province and we are very excited to launch this new initiative in partnership with municipalities and rescue organizations."
The British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is a not-for-profit organization reliant on public donations. Our mission is to protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.

This is a remix of Makerbot's Snap Pin Robohand. Thanks go out to the designers of the "Complete Set of Mechanical Anatomically Driven Fingers", Ivan Owen of Mech Madness Designs http://mechmadnessdesigns.com/ ; Richard Van As of Robohand http://robohand.net/ ; Michael Curry, the designer of the Snap-Together Robohand ; and to all the collaborators at e-NABLE https://www.facebook.com/enableorganization
I've optimized the design to be more ergonomic/comfortable, and to use leather as an interface material. With 3 pieces of leather you can fit this prosthetic device to a person lacking fingers on one hand. This is a wrist-powered device, so the user needs a wrist to be able to actuate the fingers.
Version 3.0 includes many updates. Version 3.0 is not compatible with previous versions. I have removed the old files for several reasons, some of which I describe below.
The main change, and in my view the most important one, is that I'm doing away with the arm bars in favor of the Osprey-style low-profile bracer. The arm bars are two bars that run up the sides of the forearm. The arm bars and the cable anchor used to attach to the leather bracer via screws. But the whole notion is problematic.
The old configuration makes it difficult to estimate where the bars (and the anchor) should attach to the leather bracer. Another problem is that it doesn't accommodate different arm widths very well. And even when you can get a perfect fit, the arm bars violate a basic principle of prosthetic design. The "soft on hard, hard on soft" principle indicates that materials that touch the skin close to bones should be soft, and that hard materials should only be used on soft tissue, where it won't push against bones. The arm bars run right next to the ulna on one side and right next to the radius on the other. That is uncomfortable. But the hard plastic component of the Osprey bracer attaches to leather on a single, meaty surface on the back of the forearm, and soft material (leather with straps) surrounds the remainder of the forearm. Peregrine (my son and a user of both the Talon and the Osprey) has noticed an improvement in comfort, and I think that's why he prefers the Osprey now.
So with the 3.0 update, I'm pulling out the files for the arm bars and the cable anchors and replacing them with Osprey-type bracers. In fact, I replaced every component of the Talon Hand with updated versions.
Here's a clip of my son Peregrine putting on his Talon 2.2:
And here's he is playing at home:
After upgrading to 2.7, and some 2.0mm monofilament cables:
For more information or to get involved, visit http://enablingthefuture.org/
You can print everything with no support. I'd suggest adding a brim in print settings for the palm to control warping. Bed adhesion pads may be added to the palm in the future, especially if it is requested. Adhesion pads have already been added to the bracer.
Cable the fingers with heavy gauge nylon monofilament, which is available as fishing line or round trimmer/weed whacker line (like for landscaping) for the cables. This hand will open without elastics. The cables push and pull. The cables anchor in the bracer with set screws. Read and watch the instructions, and ask questions in the comments.
For Talon Hand version 3.0 and beyond, the Osprey/Gamma Raptor instructions are the most helpful, since the assembly process is very similar. The only difference is that you need a thin piece of leather for the "upper" of the Talon, whereas the dome-shaped palm of the Osprey takes foam. You should apply closed cell orthopedic foam to the underside of the Talon's cable guide to protect the user during heavy gripping. Here are instructions for the Osprey:
Outdated written instructions for previous Talon and Ody Hands are here.
Ivan Owen made a wonderful 3-part tutorial using the 2.0 version of the Talon. Many things have changed, but this is still a great video series for assembling this kind of device. Thanks Ivan!!

The Talon was modelled in Blender, so there is no .stp file. I can export Collada, .obj or .x3d, and many more formats, but not STP or SLDPRT. You will need a mesh editor to make modifications, as traditional CAD software doesn't handle mesh files very well. I would suggest learning a little Blender. Tons of tutorials available, and it's free.
I'm having difficulty determining how many screws and lines I need to purchase if I were to print at a 100% scale. Also which size fingers should I print for a 100% scaled print.
Good question. You will need 10 x 3/16" #6-32 set screws, 4 x 3/4" #4 pan head sheet metal screws, 16 x 1/2" 1/2" #4 truss head sheet metal screws, 2 x 7/16" #8-32 flat socket head screws, nylon hex jamb nuts or nylon insert lock nuts and 2 #8 flat washers, everything stainless steel. 1.4mm/ ~.05" nylon monofilament for the cables. For the leather bracer and upper, 5oz vegetable tanned leather, and 7oz veg tan leather for the palm. 3/4" nylon webbing for the straps. I think that's about it.
The hardware listed in this response is for a 100% build. Larger builds will need larger hardware.
Sorry for bothering you, but just to clarify this hardware list is when using the snap pins design correct?
That's correct. One set of fingers uses Chicago screws. For 100%, you would need Chicago screws with a 1/8" post and are 1/2" long. If you use Chicago screws, use some kind of thread lock so one side doesn't come loose and get lost. I do recommend the snap pin fingers, as they are very strong and functional, and the pins do a better job of staying in place.
I get all my screws from Albany County Fasteners in New Jersey.
If you're asking about Chicago screws, I have found some in aluminum at Lowe's, but those are too big for a 100% print. You can look around on eBay for Chicago screws, but like I said, I highly recommend the snap pin version of the fingers. I don't build with Chicago screws any more, and my son is a heavy duty user of the Talon Hand and the Osprey Hand.
Fyi, I have discontinued the Chicago screw option. The snap pins work very well, and they scale with the rest of the components. Also, unless you use thread lock, the Chicago screws fall out.
does anyone know the difference between the cable anchor and the cable tensioner? in the tutorial videos he uses the tensioner, but I was wondering if they were used for the same purpose?
Sure. The tensioner is probably the best solution if you're using a braided line, like dyneema, and elastics. You can adjust the tension via little screws in the back of the tensioner block.
The cable anchor is the best option if you're using nylon monofilament.
In the photos the black Talon uses the cable anchor. The blue Talon uses the tensioner. And in the tutorial video, Ivan uses the tensioner.
I would strongly recommend the use of heavy gauge nylon monofilament, since you don't have to use elastics. So the cable anchor is preferable. Check out the Osprey Hand here on Thingiverse, which should give you some ideas.
In the most recent version, I have discontinued the tensioner. Heavy gauge nylon monofilament works much better for cabling anyway, since it doesn't require elastics.
does anyone have the file for the tensioner and bricks that are seen on the light blue talon hand pictured above?
I've discontinued the tensioner. It caused too many problems.
I just uploaded the optional tensioner block and pins. Help yourself.
Are the scale factors the same as for the Raptor Reloaded? Im making one for a young boy
The scale factors are similar, but you will want to make the Talon about 5% bigger than you would make a Raptor Reloaded. The Talon is more difficult to assemble. Unless you're pretty good at making these, I'd suggest making the Osprey Hand.
The Talon is now much easier to assemble. I recently tied the Talon in with the Osprey Hand ecosystem. Have a look at the instructions now.
I am interested in no thumb, No pointer finger version of Talon. (User has Thumb and pointer finger.)
Thanks for other info. (Fusion 360 failed to run. I'm checking out all of E-nable
The geometry of the Talon would make a "no thumb no pointer" version too fragile. There may be a solution, but it would require some serious restructuring. Here is the "no thumb no pointer" palm for the Raptor, which is much easier to assemble than the Talon.
I'm afraid I'm not offering much product support for the Talon these days, since it is kind of difficult to assemble properly. You should know that the Osprey Hand bracer (gauntlet) and fingers are compatible with the Raptor "no thumb no pointer" palm, so your device can be assembled according to the Osprey instructions. At this point, you will need to print both sets of snap pins, (The Raptor and the Osprey, plus the knuckle pins for the "no thumb no pointer") but those are all quick to print.
My name is Peter Binkley. If you need more support, contact me via Google+ and we can chat. I'd be happy to assemble a tidy set of snap pins compatible with your particular configuration.
Don't respond if maybe I should just keep looking to figure this stuff out myself.
Are there any mods for a palm in which the user has a 1st finger and thumb?I was figuring modifying the design and having a ring structure around 1st finger. Then, modifying the frame to travel along the top of the hand on the thumb side. Would a different palm be suggested?
Which 3D printer do you recommend at which precision and what bed size? Or should I just get someone else to print it?
Which PLA to use? (Have a quick link to these idiot questions?) I'm a programmer and can probably afford all this.
I figured, since Im ok with electronics I could work up to motor assisted versions. -
Is there ONLY 1 grip? I almost expected a quick dial that could be turned on wrist to enable differing finger reticulation.
Lower 2 fingers completely closed for shelf grip. Even finger closing for cylinder/thumb grip. And differing thumb grips. - What software would be good to use to modify the files? Blender 2.7? I have a Mac. (And linux, and windows 10 and android tabled.)
There's a thumbless version of the Talon, but not a thumbless, indexless version. I did make a no-thumb-no-pointer version of the Raptor Hand. That might work for you.
Sounds like you need to join the e-Nable community. Find it on Google+ and ask to join. Then they will let you in. You have lots of questions. e-Nable has lots of answers. Here's my ultra-brief response to your last 3 questions:
Buy an Ultimaker 2; Colorfabb filament:
Yes, only one grip at a time, but you can adjust the grip pattern via the set screws and cables. The thumb angle and position is woefully static, but at least it's robust.
I always use the latest stable Blender. I have a huge .blend file with gobs of development iterations, if you're interested.
Check out the Osprey Hand too. It's mechanically sweet, and much easier to assemble than the Talon.
Links to leather source are in the Osprey/Gamma Raptor assembly instructions:
What is the gripping strength of the Talon 2.7 compared to that of the Raptor?
I don't know about the Raptor Reloaded, but if you're talking about the Raptor Hand, its mechanics are actually pretty similar to the Talon, although I think the Talon 2.7 has the greatest grip strength of any wrist-powered device on Thingiverse. The Talon also relies on the longest range of motion.
Have you made a wrist-powered device yet? I think the Raptor is the easiest one to assemble, so it's probably the best place to start. The Talon is definitely more challenging, especially as shown in the photos.
Well, the hardware sizing depends on the scale of your print. What size were you thinking?
I have a lot of compatible hardware, so I could try to put something together for you.
Do you have a hardware package for a 155% scale print?
Thank you for your prompt reply! My team is thinking 155%. I was thinking a kit would be easier than purchasing all the hardware individually...?
Ok help me out here. I'm trying to build a hand for a friend. I have very little experience with this so not sure on the scaling. I have printed a crosscut of the palm section at 1.6 x. but there is no way it will fit my friends hand. I see other comments that this should be for an adult male. My friends hand is 3 1/8 inches across the palm which is a somewhat small hand. Across the pam and thumb is 3 3/4. Yet at a 1.6 x scale the narrowest part of the palm section is only 2 3/4. Is that what I should be trying to fit? If someone can help me I'd really appreciate it. I don't want to spend a few days printing and assembling this to have it 1/4 in to small :). I can email you a pic of his hand if this will help.
Oh and also ... Should I scale up the cable guide and tensioner? Or leave them the standard size?
Here is probably the best way to determine the print scale for a device. Or I should say, this is how I do it, and I've had pretty good success so far: You will need an image from DIRECTLY ABOVE the client's affected limb laid flat on the table, with a ruler next to that limb. Best if the camera can also be at least 4 feet away from the table, to reduce distortion. If you can get over two meters away, that's even better. Feel free to use zoom and high resolution so that the markings on the ruler are easy to read. Then follow the video tutorial.
You will want this file to get started, unless you're already familiar with Blender: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:564844
I only want to make a right hand with all fingers and thumb not really sure which files to print. Is there a list? I see instruction for how to assemble but nothing about what to print. All pics and video seem to be for a left hand not right.
Here ya go. :)
ProxPhalSnap (if these are too thick, print PPSnap4small);
For one arm strap: OdyBarsFat3;
If you're using two straps (recommended): ArmBarsStrapFat2.2;
Let us know how it goes.
I've never made a normally closed device, so I can't tell you for sure if it will work very well. I think it should work just fine. Please let me know how it goes.
Yes, a 1.6 scale print would be for a large adult male hand. 1.7 is really huge. Most grown men would fall between 1.5 and 1.6.
Hello! I am rebuilding the talon hand from the ground up in Solidworks to provide on Thingiverse and share with the e-NABLE community. It would be very helpful to know what the intended dimensions were for some of the features. I can measure my own printed Talon, but for the tight tolerance stuff like hinge diameters, snap pin dimensions and tolerance given between rotating surfaces it would be nice to get the exact numbers.
Thanks in advance!
Barrett! This is wonderful!!
Thank you for making a Solidworks version. My feeling is the more people who have access to the designs, the better. I'd be happy to work with you, but I'm totally swamped at the moment, between making a deadline on the collaborative E-Nable Hand 2.0, projected for release at the end of September, and the beginning of the school year at the high school where I teach.
If you can't use a program that puts grid lines on .stl imports (like Blender) I'd suggest printing at a giant scale, like 200% and cutting measurements in half. That will greatly reduce the margin of error caused by differing levels of extrusion by different printers. Navigating around an object in Blender is pretty easy. Select metric, hit numpad 5 for ortho view, and use numpad 1,3,and 7 for front, side and top views, respectively. MMB spins the view and shift-mmb pans. Mouse wheel zooms. Z toggles surface
Please let me know if you have specific questions. When you design, moving surfaces should have a gap of .5mm, so they slide freely.
Thank you very much!
Great advice! I'm looking forward to seeing that e-NABLE 2.0, Ivan Owen was very excited about it when he visited last week.
You don't have to credit me at all. If you want to, you can, but I have no need for attribution. I just want the designs to benefit people and to be available to all. When you finish, I'd love it if you'd share photos on the page. Also, if you're not a member of the e-Nable Google group yet, you should really join up. Also go to http://enablingthefuture.orgenablingthefuture.org to read our news. Are you making a Talon Hand for a person?
if i want to make a left hand version what do i download to get the right thing.
Hey mavadata, just print the "unipalm left" instead of the right-handed one. Everything else is symmetrical. (I actually have never made the right-handed version, although a couple of my friends have.)
so just download the "unipalm left" and everything else would download whatever is needed for the left hand?
Ok, I just updated the snap distals. You can use the FingersSnapMed and FingersSnapShort files. I'm going to try the short ones, to see if the grip is improved.
Unless you can get chicago screws, print the snap version of the fingers. I'm in the process of fixing some of the shorter fingers, so the longest set (FingersSnap) is in the best shape. You'll print the snap version of the proximal phalanges (ProxPhalSnap) Definitely also use the curved arm bars, or even the arm bars for the Ody Hand, since they are much more comfortable. Print a few spare snap pins in case you lose one. Print also KnucklePins, PalmStencil, CableGuide and CableAnchor.
I just removed the straight arm bars, and added in the bars from the Ody Hand to this page. The straight bars were a mistake. The Ody Hand bars fit better and have space so that a strap can be added without hurting the wearer.
There are new arm bars for an adult build. #8 flat head screws tap right into the holes when printed at 1.6 (a large male hand)
What are the advantages of this Talon Hand compared to de Robohand? How functional is it, has it been tested on patients?
The Robohand files are great, but not entirely complete. The snap-together Robohand is also great, but a bit tricky/hacky to get to work on an actual person. I designed the Talon to be ergonomic and user-friendly. My son uses it, and there are a few other clients who use it too. The designs are based on extensive testing and tweaking, and I update the files frequently.
I sent you a message, did you recieve it?
Wrote a reply and forgot to hit Send. You should have it now.

David Drees is president and CEO of The Drees Co., one of the nation's largest private home builders. Founded in 1928 by his grandfather and based in Fort Mitchell, Ky., the company constructs more than 3,000 homes a year with revenues topping $1 billion. The Drees Co. is the leading home builder in the greater Cincinnati area and also has operations in several other markets across the country, including Dallas, Indianapolis, Nashville, Tenn., Jacksonville, Fla., and Raleigh, N.C. The company credits much of its success to customer service and repeat customers.
Drees and wife, Karen, have 11-year-old twins, Paige and Scottie, and a 17-year-old daughter, Alexa, who's aiming for design school. A devout Cincinnati Reds baseball fan, David and his father (company chairman Ralph Drees) are part owners of the team. Drees spoke with BIG BUILDER in September.
BB: Cincinnati has a rich baseball tradition. When you and your family rode in the opening day parade this year, was that like a dream come true?
DD: It was a neat experience. What really made it special was that George W. Bush threw out the first pitch. As a part owner, I got a chance to shake [his] hand and get our picture taken, so it was a great day.
DD: I am surprised that it's as widespread as it is. We have seen a downturn in almost every market that we build in, so I am surprised at that.
BB: What's the key to turning the situation around?
DD: Working through inventory levels. Even if sales don't rebound, if they stay steady, at least [then] we can start working on improving our gross margins versus going through severe discounts to move homes.
BB: How does your experience in previous slowdowns help your business today?
DD: Well, every experience is a little bit different. but the great thing about our company is we've got a very deep, strong, experienced management team. We tend not to overreact. We tend to stay the path. That has kind of been our M.O.

In an effort to reward its brightest technologists, Microsoft plans to announce today that it has created a distinguished engineer program, initially honoring 16 of the company's best designers.
Similar programs are already in place at Cisco Systems, I.B.M., Sun Microsystems and Xerox as a way to reward engineers and scientists who might otherwise leave research and development jobs for management positions with greater financial rewards.
In an electronic mail message sent to Microsoft employees on Friday, the Microsoft chief executive, Steven A. Ballmer, wrote, ''These appointments underscore Microsoft's commitment to our technical people as key partners in the leadership of the company.''
The position entitles the Microsoft researchers to a financial reward package that is similar to that received by the company's vice presidents, said Deborah Willingham, the company's vice president for human resources.
''We were trying to be sure that great technical people know that they have the opportunity to achieve the recognition that vice presidents receive inside the company,'' she said.
The company will add approximately four or five employees to the list each year, she added.
For Charles Thacker, a former Xerox and Digital Equipment engineer who joined Microsoft three years ago and is now involved in the company's effort to develop a tablet-like computer, the program will have little effect on his day-to-day work activities.
He said the program will principally be of value because it will chart a path for technical employees at the company, which now has a work force of more than 38,000.
''It demonstrates to the technical people that you can stay on the technical ladder,'' he said.
In addition to Mr. Thacker, who is the co-inventor of the Ethernet office networking technology, those to be named distinguished engineers include Butler Lampson, Charles Simonyi, Jim Gray and David Cutler. All are well-known scientists and engineers who have helped the company pursue advanced computer technologies.
Mr. Cutler, for example, came from Digital Equipment to lead a team at Microsoft that developed the Windows NT operating system beginning in 1988.
The others who received appointments as distinguished engineers are Mark Lucovsky, Wael Bahaa-el-Din, Anders Hejlsberg, Antoine Leblond, Suryanarayanan Raman, Darryl Rubin, Brad Lovering, Lou Perazzoli, Michael Toutonghi, Peter Spiro and Mohsen al-Ghosein.

Poison Spyder RockBrawler Rear Bumpers
Currently available for:
- JK with Tire Carrier - JK without Tire Carrier - TJ-YJ-CJ without Tire Carrier - TJ-YJ-CJ with Tire Carrier http://pix.poisonspyder.com/Products...33_ybBYh-M.jpg Poison Spyder RockBrawler Rear Bumpers are fabricated from NCN laser-cut, precision brake-formed 3/16" plate steel. The faceted design provides the best clearance and departure angles possible in a simple bolt-on rear bumper. The center recess provides clearance for your spare tire as well as a convenient step for accessing the back of the Jeep. http://pix.poisonspyder.com/Products...49_Z5PUR-M.jpg The JK version of the RockBrawler Rear Bumper is designed to work with the factory tow hitch. The TJ/LJ version comes with an integrated, low-profile tow hitch. Our 1" thick machined billet steel, high clearance recovery shackle tabs are optional on all RockBrawler rear bumpers. The swing-out tire carrier (available now for JK, coming soon for other models) uses a high quality CNC machined spindle and Timken roller bearings for its heavy duty hinge. A high quality automotive style latch keeps the carrier securely closed. A spring-loaded locking pin holds the carrier in the open position when accessing the rear of the Jeep. The spare tire mount is 2-way adjustable and can accomodate up to a 42" tire. Provisions are included to relocate the license plate to the center of the spare tire. Antenna mounts and Hi-Lift jack mount are optional. Shown here is the TJ/LJ version without Tire Carrier, in a pre-production version that did not have the integrated tow hitch: http://pix.poisonspyder.com/Products...47_bGf4p-M.jpg Here's the productionTJ/LJ version (mounted photos coming soon): http://pix.poisonspyder.com/Products...08_bCtSt-M.jpg |
......wish you guys offered one without the tire carrier, but gave the option for a future tire carrier for the jk. I want to see how much I will be affected by the tire being in the cab before I get a tire carrier. If I don't mind the spare in the cab then I'd be happy without a carrier, but I don't want to order one with the carrier and regret it.
Honestly if I were you I would just run the spare in the cab for a while and see how you like it, even before buying either bumper. If you decide you like running that way, then I would suggest opting for our BFH rear bumper for maximum clearance and departure angle, if you don't need a hitch. |
Do you have it available for 2006 LJ with tire carrier.
Thanks |
Any plans for the YJ's?
does the tire carrier block the stock license plate mount?
If this thing will haul my cdnm101 down the highway I'll get one!
Basically what I want to pull: http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/r...g/IMG_2641.jpg this one isn't mine but its similar to my trailer and the Maggiolina roof top tent I want to put on top. Can your bumper take this off road? |
what is that trailer?
Could I get one without the 'web' feature on the tire carrier?
Not feeling the 'Spiderman' thing ;) |

anyone know if poison spyder offers club discounts or military discounts?
any way of finding out how much. it would help make a decision of who to buy from
Please call and ask. We don't publish the amount because its a violation of our own miminum pricing policy that we have in effect with our dealer agreements. We bend the rules for our friends in the military but we try to keep it on the D-L so we don't get into trouble with our dealers. 951-849-5911. Thanks,
Price for a 97 and can you get them with out a hitch and with a tire carrier?
Can I get a price for 2011 JK with carrier? Also, do you have a front bumper?
