This book integrates women's history and legal studies within the broader context of modern European history in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Sixteen contributions from fourteen countries explore the ways in which the law contributes to the social construction of gender. They analyze questions of family law and international law and highlight the politics of gender in the legal professions in a variety of historical, social and national settings, including Eastern, Southern, Western, Northern and Central Europe. Focusing on different legal cultures, they show us the similarities and differences in the ways the law has shaped the contours of women and men's lives in powerful ways. They also show how women have used legal knowledge to struggle for their equal rights on the national and transnational level. The chapters address the interconnectedness of the history of feminism, legislative reforms, and women's citizenship, and build a foundation for a comparative vision of women's legal history in modern Europe.

The Goose Creek Cup to benefit the Downtown Sheridan Association's restoration of the Goose Creeks in Sheridan raised over $32,000 Sunday. The event was held at the Flying H Ranch in Big Horn and featured some of the top polo players in the country. DSA Executive Director Stacie Coe explains that the funds will go toward phase three of the restoration project.
Coe said that the community came out to show their support and the volunteers put in a ton of elbow grease to make the fundraiser a success.
Coe also gave a big thanks to the Flying H and Skey Johnston family for making the fundraiser possible.

The flags were very helpful.
Correct, it's the Duck.

In 1919 one mark IX was made amphibious, they raised the cab and added flotation devices.
They called it "The Duck"

M1911A1, Steyr MPi81, Browning Hi-Power.
Ray, Gene and Chris.
This thread is all about searching in the right places.
You looked through every TV series with a Browning Hi-Power in it didn't you.
Either that or Gene Hunt is a global celebrity, or Ashes to Ashes aired in the Netherlands.
I'm onto you....
I've noticed this thread hasn't got an Lince follow up detective story...
Correct, it's the Ram 3.7inch AA Gun. A Canadian self-propelled AA Gun on the hull of the Ram tank. Probably prototype-only. The site where I found it has pictures of a M10 lookalike based on the Ram tank. It's probably your Ram Gun Tower.
Nice site about the Ram tank: http://www.ramtank.ca/

My book Game Changers, by Mike Lupica, has many settings, but the main setting is a football field. The football field is important because that is where the main character Ben McBain plays his best for a spot as starting quarterback. If the setting were different then the whole story would be about something other than football.
CharacterPhysical Characteristics Adjectives of Personality Text Evidence /Explanation of Adjectives Ben McBain1 short1 Authoritative1 Ben separates Sam and Shawn before getting into a fight 2 fast2 compassionate2 Ben helps Shawn get out of his slump of being not accurate at passing 3 Good at sports3 conscientious3 Ben helps Shawn get accurate for the team Shawn O'brien1 tall1 cowardly1 Ben called a different play to Shawn and said just run the ball 2 muscular2 Egotistical2 Shawn ran off the field and shoved another kid onto the field 3 Good at any position other than Q.B. 3 temperamental3 After a bad pass Shawn would get down on himself and mess up
The main conflict of the story is Ben wanting to be a quarterback. Shawn O'Brien,the starting quarterback does not want to be quarterback, but coach O'Brien's dream is for Shawn to be a quarterback. Another conflict in the story is Ben tries to help Shawn become more accurate, however, when Ben drops a pass that loses the game Shawn turns on him.
Ben McBain has played every position in football and is every football team's dream player. Except, one season ben wants to be starting quarterback but is set back because he is going against the coach's son Shawn O'Brien. Shawn has been the starting quarterback for the league's football team. Shawn doesn't have many friends, so Ben tries to be friends with him during the football season. However when Ben drops a pass that loses the game, Shawn turns on him.
If you have trust and are nice you can go far with anybody. Ben said to Shawn ''Lets go get pizza because I want to get to know you better.'' ''I'm changing the play to 'lookaway'(a pass to Shawn) to give Shawn another chance''. Said Ben Shawn came over and put a fist out to bump and said, ''I owe you one!'' pg.175
This story is told in the first person point of view. If this point of view were different then one would not be able to feel how Ben is feeling and how he is reacting during the story.
The symbolism I chose for the book is the fist bump. I chose this because Ben never gave up on Shawn and kept being nice to him and willing to help him.
I would recommend this book to readers who like sports especially football. This book is worth reading because it goes through changes through out the whole book. Also there is always action or something interesting happening on every page.

We are Glenn and Vickie Hill and have been the original owners of Bearway To Heaven since 2003. We have 3 children and 4 grandchildren. We had many wonderful memories of Gatlinburg with our children when they were small. Our inspiration to own a cabin came after we spent an anniversary in a cabin in the Smoky Mountains.
We began renting our cabin on our own in August, 2008. We wanted to offer something that our management companies did not offer to our guests, a more personal touch. We also wanted to assure our guests that everything would be perfect for their arrival. It is important to know about any immediate issues with our vacation home. Now, thanks to our wonderful property manager/cleaner, we are alerted to any immediate situations that might affect our guest's stay, and can address these in a timely manner.
When we go on vacation we know how important it is to us to have the property clean, tastefully decorated and everything in good, working condition. We are committed to provide this to you. We make frequent trips to our cabin for repairs and occasionally to vacation. When you visit Bearway To Heaven, we know you will not be disappointed in our vacation property. You can read the comments from our guest.
Glenn and Vickie Hill purchased this cabin in 2003
When we decided to purchase a vacation home, Gatlinburg was one of the first places that came to our mind. We had visited many times when our children were young and had many wonderful memories of the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg.
We chose our cabin because of it's convenient location and privacy. It is only 1.3 miles from the heart of downtown Gatlinburg. While at the cabin you feel as if you are miles away from everything, but you can hop in your car and be to all of the attractions within minutes.
The number one comment that guest make in our book is the wonderful location. Bearway to Heaven is 2.5 miles from the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 1.3 miles from the Ripley's Aquarium and 3 miles from the famous Glades Arts and Crafts Community. Greenbrier Park is approximately 6 miles and has an 8 mile round trip trail that leads to Ramsay Cascades. The Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail is only about 2 miles from our cabin and trail ends up on the road that takes you to our cabin.
Thank you again Glenn and Vickie for sharing your wonderful cabin with us again. Our second time was just as wonderful and the first! We can't wait to come back for a third visit.
We always have a great stay in this cabin! Our home away from home! The cabin is always clean, very comfortable, and nicely decorated. We love that the cabin is so close to Gatlinburg but you feel secluded and private. We love that we can cook meals in the great kitchen and just relax on the screened porch and hot tub! This was our first visit since the wildfires and the devastation is heartbreaking. Bearway to Heaven however, only had to replace their front deck and is still secluded and beautiful. We encourage anyone who loves the Smokies to visit and this is the perfect cabin !!
We had a great stay in this cabin, very peaceful & quiet. Located near the top and last cabin on the dead end road. Plenty of (level) parking. Something we like, level parking. Roads going up to this cabin are not scary and easy to navigate. Nicely secluded cabin inside city limits, something rare for Gatlinburg area. One would think they are miles & miles away from everything, but you are not, just minutes to hwy. 321, grocery store, downtown Gatlinburg, etc. Only 1 other cabin could be partially seen from this cabin. The views at the cabin are better than what pics show. Everything in the cabin worked great. Cabin was clean when we arrived. We would rent it again.
Clean, comfortable cabin with all the features you could wish for. Quiet and somewhat secluded, but minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains as well. Wonderful freindly owners who ensured our stay was satisfactory. Definitely appreciated the kitchen and all the pots and pans included to eat in and relax rather than going our for every meal. Could be a quiet peaceful cabin or can use the hot tub and cable tv. Something for everyone. Wouldn't hesitate to book again if we are ever back in the area.
We have been staying in this cabin for several years and we always feel like we are coming home when we arrive. The cabin is always spotless, beds are comfy, kitchen is fully stocked, and we love the screened porch! Bearway is close to everything and yet we feel secluded. It is so peaceful and comfortable , we never want to leave! We were awakened one night by a bear on the porch and in the neighboring cabin's trash. Two days later we saw three bears!! Glenn and Vickie are great owners who think of everything, we cannot wait to return-hopefully before October!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!
This place is excellent!!! There are a lot of Cabins in Gatlinburg, the pictures can be deceiving as to how close your neighbors area. This Cabin has only one neighbor, and has a Great view. Very close to everything you need. We will be going back and this will be the place we rent!!! PS: We had a large Bear on the deck, woke us up while it was bumping against the front door. They have everything that you need right there (pot/dishs/utensils and such)!!!
We arrived Monday night on 1/18/2016, to our cabin and I couldn't have been more pleased with my first impression of the cabin.
Very well decorated! I'm giving 5 stars for that alone! Terrific job! We were snowed in for two of the days and were unable to get down the driveway but we were well stocked up on food, so that was not an issue.
It was nice to see that the video library was well stocked/game center had plenty of family board games for us all to enjoy.
I'm huge on kitchens, and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything you could think of for food prep and cooking.
The directions to the cabin were spot on and easy to understand.

Say It With Cake...
Well, I have been a little "unwell" and kinda missed
wishing you a Happy Fat Tuesday and Happy Valentine's Day!
So, I made you some cake to make up for it.
Actually, I made these last year I think...
This was for my dad's birthday since it fell close to Mardi Gras...
And this was for a friend who was surprising her husband with a weekend getaway.
Love and cake...
how can you go wrong there?
Hope your heart day was a happy one!

Valentines For Grown-Ups
has a fat cherub flown by and smacked
you upside the head yet this year?
Yeah, me neither.
But I totally think that's what MY cupid would do...
no heart shaped arrows here.
Anyway...I am so excited to show you these
"sending homemade love" Valentine treats.
But first I've got a little tutorial for sending a Heart Attack...in a can.
Trust me.
I put this together to send in Sara's Valentine treat box.
Start out with a clear sided can.
The silver one I found at Hobby Lobby...the red one was an extra
one I picked up in the
Target dollar section at Christmas
Grab some cute scrapbook paper and awesome
sparkly stickers and you are on your way.
Apparently I looked as if I needed help with this project.
She got up and sat with her font paws on the paper.
These instructions might seem unnecessary, but I'm gonna tell you anyway.
Measure your can...just the clear part.
You might need to take a little off if there's a lip.
My can is about 3 inches across so the circumference is
small and allows the 12 inch paper to circle all the way around.
Mark your paper and start snipping.
Nice long strip...perfect.
Roll it up and slide it into your can.
I lined up the ends of the paper with the seam on the can.
I didn't want my paper sliding around so I pulled out the handle
and used a pencil to poke some holes directly through the paper.
Then I just re-inserted the handle
the paper...no more sliding.
I wanted something for the lid, too...
so I just used it to measure a circle from some more scrapbook paper.
Attached it to the lid and HAD to add a SWEET cupcake sticker.
I cut out a BUNCH of hearts with my Silhouette
from different colors of cardstock.
You could totally cut them out by hand or I'm sure you could
find a package of heart shapes somewhere this time of year. :)
My husband and I did about half...I gave the other half to my folks.
We used them to write things we love about Sara on each one.
Pretty much filled up that can!
How awesome is this for encouraging someone?
Now...on to the sweet treats.
Standard chocolate chip cookie recipe here...
I just subbed Valentine M&Ms for the chocolate chips.
Easy peasy.
I portioned them out just like I was gonna bake them...
but rolled them into balls and stuck them like this on a metal cookie sheet.
I put them in the freezer for an hour or so until they were hard.
Once they were firm and I knew they wouldn't stick together,
I transferred them to something I could put a cover on and keep them all together.
Yes, this is a margarita bucket.
No, I did NOT empty it JUST to put the cookies in.
But I would have if it came right down to it.
The things I do for blogging.
I ADORE these cartons I ordered from
LOoOoOoOve. I tell you what.
A little Washi tape around the lid...some baker's twine...
I printed out a label with baking instructions...
And away we go.
I fit about 10 cookie dough balls in here.
If you made yours a little smaller, you could get a whole dozen.
Shhhh...I'm giving these to the girls at work.
Don't tell.
You could do this for ANY occasion or holiday.
Just change up your colors and have a ball!
These make me smile.
Do you do some homemade treats for friends and co-workers?
What's your favorite to give or get?
Have a fabulous weekend!
See you on the flipside.

6 days. That's right. Only a few more days until I leave for college. I've gotten all of my dorm room stuff (woo!) and have most of my closet packed up. Being prepared ahead of time is always a good thing, but having almost all of my clothes in a suitcase doesn't exactly make my job of getting dressed in the morning easier. But, I did managed to fish out this outfit!

I'm really happy with how this little tree printed! I'll be using these little guys as gift tags for the holidays, but will maybe print them on other things in the near future....possibly a little moleskine?
Hope you're having a good week!

The court case of Frank Herbert Wonschik
v. U.S., argued that the jury selection process was impermissibly tainted
by the trial judge's request that all potential jurors stand and recite
the Pledge of Allegiance prior to jury selection. Furthermore, that bias
also transgressed the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause
of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The set of integers (or rationals or reals) is a poset where \(a \leq b\) has the usual meaning for two integers \(a\) and \(b\) in \({\mathbb Z}\).
We begin by the study of lattices and Boolean algebras by generalizing the idea of inequality. Recall that a relation on a set \(X\) is a subset of \(X \times X\). A relation \(P\) on \(X\) is called a partial order of \(X\) if it satisfies the following axioms.
The relation is reflexive: \((a, a) \in P\) for all \(a \in X\).
The relation is antisymmetric: if \((a,b) \in P\) and \((b,a) \in P\), then \(a = b\).
The relation is transitive: if \((a, b) \in P\) and \((b, c) \in P\), then \((a, c) \in P\).
We will usually write \(a \preceq b\) to mean \((a, b) \in P\) unless some symbol is naturally associated with a particular partial order, such as \(a \leq b\) with integers \(a\) and \(b\), or \(A \subseteq B\) with sets \(A\) and \(B\). A set \(X\) together with a partial order \(\preceq\) is called a partially ordered set, or poset.
The set of integers (or rationals or reals) is a poset where \(a \leq b\) has the usual meaning for two integers \(a\) and \(b\) in \({\mathbb Z}\).
Let \(X\) be any set. We will define the power set of \(X\) to be the set of all subsets of \(X\). We denote the power set of \(X\) by \({\mathcal P}(X)\). For example, let \(X = \{ a, b, c \}\). Then \({\mathcal P}(X)\) is the set of all subsets of the set \(\{ a, b, c \}\): \begin{align*} & \emptyset & & \{ a \} & & \{ b \} & & \{ c \} &\\ & \{ a, b \} & & \{ a, c\} & &\{ b, c\} & & \{ a, b, c \}. & \end{align*} On any power set of a set \(X\), set inclusion, \(\subseteq\), is a partial order. We can represent the order on \(\{ a, b, c \}\) schematically by a diagram such as the one in Figure 19.3.
Let \(G\) be a group. The set of subgroups of \(G\) is a poset, where the partial order is set inclusion.
There can be more than one partial order on a particular set. We can form a partial order on \({\mathbb N}\) by \(a \preceq b\) if \(a \mid b\). The relation is certainly reflexive since \(a \mid a\) for all \(a \in {\mathbb N}\). If \(m \mid n\) and \(n \mid m\), then \(m = n\); hence, the relation is also antisymmetric. The relation is transitive, because if \(m \mid n\) and \(n \mid p\), then \(m \mid p\).
Let \(X = \{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 \}\) be the set of divisors of 24 with the partial order defined in Example 19.5. Figure 19.7 shows the partial order on \(X\).
Let \(Y\) be a subset of a poset \(X\). An element \(u\) in \(X\) is an upper bound of \(Y\) if \(a \preceq u\) for every element \(a \in Y\). If \(u\) is an upper bound of \(Y\) such that \(u \preceq v\) for every other upper bound \(v\) of \(Y\), then \(u\) is called a least upper bound or supremum of \(Y\). An element \(l\) in \(X\) is said to be a lower bound of \(Y\) if \(l \preceq a\) for all \(a \in Y\). If \(l\) is a lower bound of \(Y\) such that \(k \preceq l\) for every other lower bound \(k\) of \(Y\), then \(l\) is called a greatest lower bound or infimum of \(Y\).
Let \(Y = \{ 2, 3, 4, 6 \}\) be contained in the set \(X\) of Example 19.6. Then \(Y\) has upper bounds 12 and 24, with 12 as a least upper bound. The only lower bound is 1; hence, it must be a greatest lower bound.
As it turns out, least upper bounds and greatest lower bounds are unique if they exist.
Let \(Y\) be a nonempty subset of a poset \(X\). If \(Y\) has a least upper bound, then \(Y\) has a unique least upper bound. If \(Y\) has a greatest lower bound, then \(Y\) has a unique greatest lower bound.
On many posets it is possible to define binary operations by using the greatest lower bound and the least upper bound of two elements. A lattice is a poset \(L\) such that every pair of elements in \(L\) has a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound. The least upper bound of \(a, b \in L\) is called the join of \(a\) and \(b\) and is denoted by \(a \vee b\). The greatest lower bound of \(a, b \in L\) is called the meet of \(a\) and \(b\) and is denoted by \(a \wedge b\).
Let \(X\) be a set. Then the power set of \(X\), \({\mathcal P}(X)\), is a lattice. For two sets \(A\) and \(B\) in \({\mathcal P}(X)\), the least upper bound of \(A\) and \(B\) is \(A \cup B\). Certainly \(A \cup B\) is an upper bound of \(A\) and \(B\), since \(A \subseteq A \cup B\) and \(B \subseteq A \cup B\). If \(C\) is some other set containing both \(A\) and \(B\), then \(C\) must contain \(A \cup B\); hence, \(A \cup B\) is the least upper bound of \(A\) and \(B\). Similarly, the greatest lower bound of \(A\) and \(B\) is \(A \cap B\).
Let \(G\) be a group and suppose that \(X\) is the set of subgroups of \(G\). Then \(X\) is a poset ordered by set-theoretic inclusion, \(\subseteq\). The set of subgroups of \(G\) is also a lattice. If \(H\) and \(K\) are subgroups of \(G\), the greatest lower bound of \(H\) and \(K\) is \(H \cap K\). The set \(H \cup K\) may not be a subgroup of \(G\). We leave it as an exercise to show that the least upper bound of \(H\) and \(K\) is the subgroup generated by \(H \cup K\).
In set theory we have certain duality conditions. For example, by De Morgan's laws, any statement about sets that is true about \((A \cup B)'\) must also be true about \(A' \cap B'\). We also have a duality principle for lattices.
Any statement that is true for all lattices remains true when \(\preceq\) is replaced by \(\succeq\) and \(\vee\) and \(\wedge\) are interchanged throughout the statement.
The following theorem tells us that a lattice is an algebraic structure with two binary operations that satisfy certain axioms.
If \(L\) is a lattice, then the binary operations \(\vee\) and \(\wedge\) satisfy the following properties for \(a, b, c \in L\).
Commutative laws: \(a \vee b = b \vee a\) and \(a \wedge b = b \wedge a\).
Associative laws: \(a \vee ( b \vee c) = (a \vee b) \vee c\) and \(a \wedge (b \wedge c) = (a \wedge b) \wedge c\).
Idempotent laws: \(a \vee a = a\) and \(a \wedge a = a\).
Absorption laws: \(a \vee (a \wedge b) = a\) and \(a \wedge ( a \vee b ) =a\).
Given any arbitrary set \(L\) with operations \(\vee\) and \(\wedge\), satisfying the conditions of the previous theorem, it is natural to ask whether or not this set comes from some lattice. The following theorem says that this is always the case.
Let \(L\) be a nonempty set with two binary operations \(\vee\) and \(\wedge\) satisfying the commutative, associative, idempotent, and absorption laws. We can define a partial order on \(L\) by \(a \preceq b\) if \(a \vee b = b\). Furthermore, \(L\) is a lattice with respect to \(\preceq\) if for all \(a, b \in L\), we define the least upper bound and greatest lower bound of \(a\) and \(b\) by \(a \vee b\) and \(a \wedge b\), respectively.

The England winger has been sidelined for the entire campaign so far after picking up the injury in a pre-season game against Llanelli and although head coach Dean Ryan is delighted to have 'Sinbad' available again, is warning not to expect too much from one of the game's brightest talents.
"We are not in a position to get carried away or expect immediate results simply because James is available for us again," Ryan told www.gloucesterrugby.co.uk.
"These are still early days for him in terms of his recovery because he has sustained a serious injury but at the same time I think everyone is aware of what a mesmerising talent he is and at this stage of the season, to have someone of his qualities making a return, is a big boost."
Simpson-Daniel, who made 16 Guinness Premiership appearances last season and scored six tries, replaces Iain Balshaw, who is on international duty. Mark Foster has still not recovered from a foot injury.
The return of Simpson-Daniel is Ryan's only significant bonus on the injury front. Flanker Jake Boer failed a fitness test on his injured calf which means the back row is altered again.
Adam Balding comes in at number eight and Luke Narraway switches to the openside. James Merriman was not considered for selection because of a groin injury.
In the front row, Nick Wood replaces Christian Califano and Adam Eustace comes into the second row alongside Marco Bortolami.
With Peter Richards, Anthony Allen and Balshaw all on international duty, the backline is also mixed around. Rory Lawson will make his first Premiership start at number nine and Rudi Keil replaces Allen in the centre.
And with Olly Morgan unfit after damaging his shoulder against Agen, Willie Walker returns in the full-back position.
Gloucester are also without James Forrester (knee), Andy Hazell (shoulder), Alex Brown (arm) and Mike Tindall (calf).
On the bench there are returns for Haydn Thomas, who has not featured this season because of a head injury, Rob Thirlby and lock Will James.
Gloucester are unbeaten in the Premiership so far this season but after two back-to-back European Cup defeats, Ryan knows there needs to be an improvement.
"The last two weeks have been reality checks for us in terms of the development of this squad," he said. "We were under no illusions about the difficulty of our European pool but in the Premiership we have made a solid start and aim to continue that.
"We need to ensure our intensity levels are right against a very well organised and powerful side."
GLOUCESTER (v Saracens, tomorrow, 5.45pm): Willie Walker; James Bailey, Jack Adams, Rudi Keil, James Simpson-Daniel; Ryan Lamb, Rory Lawson; Nick Wood, Mefin Davies, Carlos Nieto, Adam Eustace, Marco Bortolami (capt), Peter Buxton, Luke Narraway, Adam Balding. Reps: Patrice Collazo, Olivier Azam, Jonathan Pendlebury, Will James, Haydn Thomas, Ludovic Mercier, Rob Thirlby.
There are still tickets available for tomorrow's game on 0871 871 8781, online at www.gloucesterrugby.co.uk or from the ticket office that opens at 10am tomorrow.

The news: The Internet's been rough on SketchFactor, an app that lets people anonymously report whether a neighborhood is "sketchy" or not. Fortunately, it turns out there is a use for it — doing your damnedest to make Wall Street the most down-rated neighborhood in SketchFactor:
I changed my mind about the SketchFactor app. People need to know about this stuff pic.twitter.com/sjeXCQv4dx
— lilith stinker (@a_girl_irl) August 9, 2014
The background: The subversive logic here makes more than a little sense. SketchFactor is designed to guide people away from unfamiliar and perhaps dangerous areas, but the social damage from white-collar crime is immense. Besides helping to wreck the economy in 2008, Wall Street's illegal habits have included misleading investors and fraudulent foreclosures. The average middle class American actually has more to worry about from Wall Street than muggers and thieves — FBI statistics demonstrate violent crime has been falling for years, while white-collar crime targets nearly six million victims a year with a median property cost of $9,254.
According to some surveys, white-collar crime now affects more households than every other form of crime combined thanks to ubiquitous access to technology and loose regulations. But there's been no major government response to mortgage or financial industry fraud and as the New York Times noted, recent crackdowns on insider trading were more intended to protect bank profits than consumers or investors.
SketchFactor can't really shield you from any of that, but leaving hundreds of negative comments on Wall Street to offset the ones being directed at minorities and poor people is at least a form of humorous relief. Wall Street isn't the only privileged community being mocked, with San Franciscans targeting elite tech gentrifiers:
Sketch Factor is just one big troll map in SF. https://t.co/VbPaNeLWZz pic.twitter.com/0JevVe9pll
— Luke Beard (@LukesBeard) August 9, 2014
Still, jokes can only go so far. It would be great if an app alerted people to "sketchiness" a little higher up the food chain than SketchFactor, but that's probably not gonna happen. Until then, let's just keep in mind who really are the "sketchy" ones in your neighborhood.

London Group Travelcard 2017
The Cheapest Transport Pass For Groups Of 10 Or More? - Well Sometimes ...
Summary of 1 Day Group Travelcard
The London One Day Group Travelcard is the only group ticket for London's public transport system.
There is also no group travel product for longer durations than one day.
The Group Travelcard covers the same public transport as other public transport passes for individuals like standard Travelcards and Oyster.
If you are a group of 10 or more, this ticket is worth benchmarking against other alternatives but normally only becomes attractive financially if your group is staying outside the centre of London (zones 1 to 3).
Key Aspects Of The Group Travelcard
– You must have a minimum of 10 people and they all need to travel together. The 10 people can be a mix of adults and children
– The Group Travelcard is off-peak only, you cannot use it before 9:30 a.m. Mondays to Fridays. You can use them all day weekends and national holidays
– The smallest zone coverage of the Group Travelcard is zone 1-6. There is one other ticket variant valid for zones 1-9. (Most tourists only need zones 1 and 2)
– The Group Travelcard is valid on all public transport that the standard individual Travelcard is valid for, including buses, London Underground & Overground, DLR and trains.
– The Group Travelcard like the 1 Day Travelcard is valid for the calendar day, not 24 hours from first use.
– The child age band is under 16, like standard Travelcards and Oysters there are no seniors concessions for visitors

- Description
The STEALTH is the latest 1/10 Buggy in our HSP line-up. Specifically designed by Hobby Warehouse with its sinister dark cover with black wing and color coded red aluminium parts that perfectly compliment the red accent on the centers of the bright chrome wheels, this buggy performs as good as it looks.
Upgraded Shock Tower
We also hit the HSP upgrade parts list and added an upgraded shock front tower that is manufactured from a much thicker and stronger grade of aluminium than previous models. The heavy duty construction of this component helps by keeping the shock absorbers aligned to to the correct geometry to provide maximum reaction over harsh terrain.
Adjustable Suspension
All 4 shock absorbers on the standard HSP models are adjustable and allow the operator to dial in the suspension to suit the type of terrain they want to operate on. HSP have a unique "c shaped clip" that fits around the shock body just above the spring giving 2 different suspension adjustment settings. Fit this "c clip" to the shock and you can apply more pre-load to the spring for a firmer rate when running on a smooth surface to reduce body roll or take the clip out for a softer rate when running on rugged off road environments where you need all the suspension travel you can get. Rear wheel camber is adjustable along with front wheel camber and toe in - toe out also being fully adjustable via a simple turnbuckle system on the steering arms. Your sure to find the set-up that is right for just about any operating surface.
Great PerformanceMotivation for the Vortex comes from a powerful Brushed 540 motor. The motor is fitted with a metal gear which provides its power to a special nylon main gear that then transfers power to the front and rear differentials giving power to each corner of the vehicle. The 4 wheel drive system provides spirited performance for the novice through to the expert RC driver. To help with additional cooling duties the motor is fitted with a color coded finned aluminium heat sink to help dissipate heat away from the motor and keep it running at optimum performance levels even in the harshest off-road conditions. |
Powerful ESCThe 40A Electronic Speed Controller supplies current to the motor and on-board electronics with authority. Providing proportional forward and reverse acceleration along with correctly matched brake force, this ESC generates smooth and reliable operation. |
Nickel Metal Hydride Battery
The supplied powerful 7.2V 2000mAh Ni-MH Battery feeds this beast with as much current as the Motor and ESC will ever need to generate spirited driving performance together with realistic operational times. An Australian Mains battery charger is also supplied to get you just about up and running out of the box.
High Torque Steering Servo
Steering duties are commanded by a HSP 6001 6kg "High Torque" steering servo. The servo is also protected from heavy shock loads that can be amplified through the steering components while operating in harsh terrain by a unique "Servo Saver" system. A special spring loaded joint is incorporated into the steering system which helps dampen severe jarring to the servo and helps extend its longevity.
2.4GHz Digital Radio Transmitter SystemThe "Stealth" is supplied with a quality HSP 2.4GHz digital radio transmitter which means you can run other vehicles utilizing the same system without interference at the same time. The radio has forward, reverse, left/right along with proportional throttle control and steering travel adjustment. |
2.4GHz Digital 3-Channel ReceiverThe supplied 3 channel 2.4 GHz receiver is compact and lightweight and comes matched to the transmitter out of the box. This receiver also offers superior interference rejection and has a failsafe function that can be set by the user if signal is lost or transmitter voltage falls to low. |
Ready To Run
This HSP standard size 1/10 buggy comes as a complete package, including an ESC, 2.4GHz radio system, 4 wheel drive system, high torque Brushed motor, aluminium upper deck chassis, aluminum drive shaft and shock mount, oil-filled shock absorbers with progressive springs, 7.2V 2000mAh Ni-MH battery with battery charger. The only extra items required to get this beast on the track are 8 x AA batteries for the transmitter and your ready to rip up your favorite patch of dirt.

Too much alienation
Pocket Review, Title Five Easy Pieces, Studio Columbia TriStar, Rating 3.0,
The movie Five Easy Pieces was all the rage when it was made, a tale of alienation in a time when many fancied themselves agents of great change, so I decided to finally watch the whole thing, having only seen the famous chicken sandwich scene. Jack Nicholson's performance was excellent. The film, alas, for me, was too psychologically brutal to enjoy, and left me wondering what the point was.
Shut Up, Legs!
Book Briefly Noted, Title Shut Up, Legs!, Author Jens Voigt, James D. Startt, Rating 3.0,
Jens Voigt was a wonderful cyclist to watch in the Tour de France. He was an aggressive rider, willing to attack in breakaways with few odds of success, friendly and available before and after a race. His motto, 'Shut Up, Legs!,' can be appreciated by anyone who rides bicycles long distance, or any endurance athlete for that matter: Muscular pain from exertion must be ignored in the pursuit of endurance feats.
Are there Laws of Medicine?
Book Book Review, Title The Laws of Medicine, Author Siddhartha Mukherjee, Rating 3.5,
Modern medicine began embracing scientific methods during the last couple of centuries, and in the past one hundred years this has produced an explosion of medical technologies that have aided physicians in significantly controlling some diseases and in particular, extending lives. Today in developed countries, many tests are available for diagnosis and many drugs are available for possible treatment. So why can't physicians today just run a comprehensive battery of tests for every sick patient and spit out a clear diagnosis, and with that, a clear prognosis and plan for a cure? Siddhartha Mukherjee proffers an answer via his Laws of Medicine.
Along the Way with Britt Towery
Book Book Review, Title Along the Way, Author Britt Towery, Rating 4.0,
Britt Towery is a very American thinker, who's opinion columns from a West Texas newspaper are collected here. I warmed quickly to his direct and sometimes folksy Texas style. He holds strong opinions on many subjects, but has a particular emphasis regarding the importance of the First Amendment to the Constitution, which safeguards our freedom of speech and religion.
Evolution + Intelligent Design = 42
Galaxy NGC 1300. Attrib: NASA, modified, PD-USGOV.
Are evolutionary biology, intelligent design and the existence of God compatible? A reasonable case can be made for it, particularly if one relaxes their culture warrior muscles for a moment, and considers the argument that: science offers little tangible evidence of abiogenesis, the spontaneous creation of life from inanimate material, leaving room for God as the creator of the initial life forms; that God could just as well have created the remainder of life via the slow mechanism of biological evolution. This is not a new argument, and finds a much larger audience than the shouters like to acknowledge.
Citizenship: Making sense of hysteria
Rudy Giuliani. Attrib: Dave Winer, original posterized, CC BY-SA 2.0.
With the never-ending wave of hysteria being promulgated daily in the news media and on the internet, how do we make sense of it all? How do we deflect the emotional pull of anger, greed and hate, all cousins of fear, that are often brought to us by those who wish to drown our better selves in the worst emotions, so as to persuade us to think or act in some certain way? How do we find a way to think and act responsibly when our politicians, pundits, preachers, programs and parents promote their agendas, at times with little regard for truth or ethics or morality, while with the deepest irony, and sometimes cynicism, couching their points of view in the language of truth and ethics and morality?

Those eyelashes are awesome! Ah yes, the early 90s. My younger sister had a pair of bright orange baggy Cross Colours pants that she used to wear with a tight burgundy body suit and black army boots. She was too cool for school. I think I was going through a short-lived grunge phase that year.

In a new interview with starcasm.net Jenelle says: "Very happy I got out of North Carolina.It hurts really bad to be leaving Jace behind with my mom but he is safe as of now and starting out fresh is the best step I have taken so far to get my son back."
It also seems that Jenelle didn't tell MTV she was headed out to New Jersey. MTV employees have been trying to get a hold of her.
Personally... I don't understand how you can leave your son so far away. Nothing could get me to do something like that. I hope she and Kieffer work out if she does this. It will be a lot harder if they break up and she is so far from everyone she knows. :/
Jenelle and kieffer have now split once again and Jenelle is no longer moving to New Jersey. I'm sure there will be more updates about this soon.

Fed Exit Strategies And Greek Tragedies
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke released the transcript of his congressional testimony Wednesday morning in lieu of actually appearing due to the record snowfall which hit the region.
While Bernanke provided more detail on the exit process, he also made clear that he does not expect to tighten policy in any meaningful way anytime soon. He repeated the FOMC mantra that the economy needs "exceptionally low level of the federal funds rate for an extended period." He set out the Fed's current thinking on how policy will eventually be tightened, "at the appropriate time …" None of this will happen soon, though, and the likely near-term hike in the discount rate, he was careful to note, "should not be interpreted" as a policy signal.
The bottom line is that the Fed will not materially tighten policy in 2010. More than likely, the funds rate target will be unchanged at year end, there will be no hike in interest paid on reserves and the Fed will have a balance sheet that will still be north of $2 trillion.
Aside from considerations relating to inflation and unemployment, there's another reason for the Fed to keep borrowing costs as low as possible. I offer the following analysis written by Kelly Evans in The Wall Street Journal. She writes:
The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that the U.S. trade deficit widened in December to $40.2 billion, compared with $36.4 billion in November.
The widening reflects faster growth in imports than exports at year-end, an unwelcome side effect of the U.S. economic recovery. It also is a reminder that export-led growth, which nations are pursuing as a path out of recession, is easier said than done.
President Obama has called for a doubling of U.S. exports over the next five years to help narrow the trade deficit and spur economic growth. The quickest way of doing so is a weaker dollar, which makes U.S. goods and services cheaper in the global market.
But lately, the dollar is moving in the other direction. Worries over the fiscal health of Greece and other nations have dogged the rival euro currency, which hit an eight-month low on Tuesday before closing a few cents higher.
Goldman Sachs economist Sven Jari Stehn calculates that even with above-consensus global growth of 4.5% over the next five years, the dollar still would need to depreciate in inflation-adjusted terms by about 30% for U.S. exports to double to about $3.1 trillion.
If instead the strengthening continues, "it would wipe out all the other bits and pieces [the president] is putting together to encourage exports," said Simon Johnson, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management.
And while investors focus on whether the big European nations will come to their smaller neighbors' rescue, Mr. Johnson points out that Germany, the world's biggest exporter until China surpassed it last year, is reaping the benefits to its own exports that come from a weaker currency.
European nations mightn't be in as much of a hurry as investors assume to halt their currency's downward slide. That could make an export-led U.S. recovery its own Greek myth.
To that, I would like to add that it seems as if what's happening now is always what happens in times when the global economy slows-countries pursue a "beggar thy neighbor" policy of currency depreciation in order to boost their exports. Implicit in Mr. Obama's stated goal of increasing exports is exactly that; a weaker dollar.
