As of this morning, the Blue Cut Fire has forced more than 82,000 residents to evacuate. Advertisement The fire, which threatens several rural San Bernardino communities, is the latest in a spate of fast-moving, hard-to-contain blazes to strike central and southern California this summer, fueled by strong winds, bone-dry brush, and 100-plus degree days. That list includes the Soberanes fire which, after raging for more than three weeks and consuming 76,000 acres in the Carmel valley, remains only 60 percent contained, and the Sand Fire, which scorched nearly 40,000 acres in Angeles National Forest before it was brought under control.The Blue Cut Fire is an evolving situation, and we'll update as we learn more. A full list of mandatory evacuation areas and road closures can be found on the Forest Service's Incident Information System. If you live in the area, it's a good idea to check for updates throughout the day. The fire is considered to be zero percent contained.

Can you see what I'm saying?
Today's car of the day is Road Champs 1990 Winnebago Chieftain. Winnebago- is there any vehicle that says summer vacation better than this one? The Winnebago featured here is a true 1/64 piece and dwarfs 1/64 cars as it should.

Is It Demo Derby Season Yet?
WOW! I think I just found where my vote is going to this week. The detail on the roof and front end is outstanding. This casting looks [size=7]Huge[/size]! Even the ladder on the back looks like it's diecast too. Hope everything is ok with Swifty. I noticed he did not post any in the last day here on the Garage. When he hops back online, I hope he can answer some questions like, how big is this casting, how much does it weigh and those sort of questions. On a side note, Jen you have a cool avator. |

I had a massive thunderstorm hit last night (took out my power). So I got online earlier and sent Jennifer the pics so she could put up the COTD. But I'm still functional! The casting is quite big, but not overly heavy. Thank you very much for getting this posted, Jennifer! Looks good! |

Ask and you shall receive! Here are a few pictures with today's car of the day. The ladder is plastic, as you can see in this last picture it is much shinier than the metal baseplate. |

I had this one as a child and lovingly destroyed it. Too bad it is one of the best RV castings out there. |

The perks of being a blogger
A blogger writes a post about Milano cookies. The next day he receives from Pepperidge Farm the letter above in a case of the cookies. FedEx'd overnight.
For the record, I prefer Little Debbie cookies and treats. And Ruffles with ridges. And Diet Pepsi to make up for the previous two. Thanks in advance.
7 comments:
I thought the letter said "Hog Post".
MinnesotaStan, why limit yourself to snack treats? Don't you like Ferraris and Krugerrands?Stan - the aspartame (Nutrasweet) in diet pop is even worse than trans fats for your body - a poison that has been known about for at least 30 years. Trans fats were outed in "Everything You Wanted to Know About Nutrition But Were Afraid to Ask" in 1971. Aspartame wasn't n the market then.
Aspartame was linked in the mid-1980s to brain lesions. Later on its use was shown to mimic symptoms of Mutliple Sclerosis - which makes sense, since MS is the destruction of the myelin sheath around nerves - the insulation for the electrical wiring that is nerves.
Wiki: "Myelin is a dielectric (electrically insulating) material that forms a layer, the myelin sheath, usually around only the axon of a neuron. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system"
Aspartame attacks this, primarily both in the brain and in the spinal cord.
ALL the MS victims I know are women. Women are the main consumers of "sugar-free" (health-free) soft drinks. I personally see a pattern, even if the nutritionists and biochemists won't look into it.
In fact, I'd be shocked if a good percentage of conditions diagnosed as MS are not aspartame induced - and that many of them are not true MS but simply destruction of the myelin.
You would be WAY ahead of the game simply drinking soft drinks with sugar in them. Mexican Coke and the Mexican soft drinks are known for "only" having sugar in them. As bad as sugar is, it is MILES ahead of sugar-free.
But, as with tobacco users, it is your choice to slowly attack your body - in this case on the mistaken assumption that sugar is the bad part of soft drinks. Of course, better to avoid soft drinks altogether. I myself don't, but when I do, it is Mexican soft drinks and only once per week or month. A Coke does energize me nicely when nothing else dos as well. But I try to keep it to a minimum.

Nice news , the way to downgrade ps3 for free is not too far from us...
11-16-2010 #13
In this firmware were is located the 3.41 version marker? The one who tells the ps3 this is 3.41!
I was wondering if we find that, why are we not aloud to modify it to 3.51? but actually it was 3.41 in it. Instead of a downgrade we could do an "upgrade" I think we can fool the ps3...
Let me know your thoughts about this.
11-16-2010 #14
pal ah error has occurred
11-16-2010 #15
I wasn't expecting the PUP to be modified.
I wonder if this means the dongle has a new exploit that allows the PS3 to accept a modified (and encrypted incorrectly?) PUP or if the modified PUP itself is the real magic of this hack... which would be pretty epic if we found a way to simply create a custom PUP that the PS3 would accept.
Highly highly unlikely I know, but one can dream.
11-16-2010 #16
11-16-2010 #17
How about... you know a full 3.5 hack rather than a downgrader?
11-16-2010 #18
hmmm so there isn't a 3.50 jailbreak, only a downgrader?

very nice,
i'm happy to see that the console gets more and more down. nice tool for people who want to jailbreak there ps3 but have 3.50.
and btw: did anyone else then me thought about the possibility that sony himself is the actor who helped to break the console?
what is the best to earn money with the ps3 atm? making the system backup ready.
atm sony sell so many consoles because everyone knows that the console got jailbroken.
my theory is that sony didn't expected that the console is safe for 3-4years and put there fingers self into the scene and "leaked" the files to the right devs.
just my two cents
11-16-2010 #20
Same happened with the original Xbox - once the encryption/firmware was cracked, sales went through the roof! (Custom dash etc)
Happens with most consoles...
I think once the PS3 is FULLY under our control then it will be 'THE' game console to have.

The trendy food chain Whole Foods Market is downsizing it's workforce.
Co-CEOs John Mackey and Walter Robb made the announcement on Monday through a prepared statement. The company will cut more than 1,500 jobs (1.6 percent of the company's workforce) as an "ongoing commitment to lower prices for its customers and invest in technology upgrades."
"This is a very difficult decision, and we are committed to treating affected Team Members in a caring and respectful manner. We have offered them several options including transition pay, a generous severance, or the opportunity to apply for other jobs. In addition, we will pay these Team Members in full over the next eight weeks as they decide which option to choose," Mr Robb wrote.
"We believe this is an important step to evolve Whole Foods Market in a rapidly changing marketplace."
Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFM) shares have fallen 35 percent in 2015. The chain has recently been the subject of controversy due to an investigation by the Department of Consumer Affairs which found that 77 percent of the of Whole Foods outlets were cited for "systemic overcharging for prepackaged foods."

Saturday there were so many different sports on TV it was OK that it was pouring rain outside.
At 7:30 AM it all started with golf and THE PRESIDENTS CUP in Dublin, Ohio. This event happens every other year, during the years The RYDER CUP does NOT happen. The Ryder Cup is The USA vs The UK. The Presidents Cup is The USA vs The World (except the UK). They had heavy rain move through Dublin several times with rain delays. It was already going to be a LONG day with 2 full rounds scheduled for everyone. They played until dark, then had to quit and finish Sunday morning. It is a rare TEAM event in golf, with different formats each day. Saturday had twosomes playing each other. Tiger Woods and Matt Kuchar played together and were very good. When they took off their hats to shake opponents hands at the end, I thought of a nickname for them.
Team Forehead.
At noon college football started, with games lasting late into the night. Louisville remains undefeated beating Temple by "only" 30-7. Kentucky kept it surprisingly close with South Carolina. Finally, a couple of baseball playoff games in the evening in case you wanted to watch a little sports TV.
It got very dark around 10 AM, then the rain moved in. Steady and heavy. Occasional thunder. I almost always have the patio door wide open when I am home. Every so often I look outside and see what's happening. Soon I saw the creek in the trees was rising. Nothing new, it always rises from the TRICKLE it normally is. But this time was special. The creek rose by about three feet. It flowed over its banks and came out of the trees. Dutchie's trees. Then it was lapping at the bank below my patio. It is a big bank, and it was enough for Saturdays storm. But it was entertaining if nothing else.
Fluff and Dutchie each sat in their own director chair on the patio and watched the rain from 3 feet away.
There was a decent current moving by, and all sorts of stuff floating by. Lotsa foliage and flora. Branches and bushes. And hedge apples by the hundreds. The area is normally a dog walk area for the apartment tenants. God only knows what else was floating by. But after a while it was just a heavy flow of water, everything had been washed away. But the rain stopped. I tracked how the water kept rising, crested, and eventually receded. The creek in the trees was roaring, but the water did go back within its banks. The cats even went out and checked out the saturated ground, walking in super slow motion in the wet high grass. Make a sharp noise at the right moment and they jump straight up 6 feet.
Just before dark I heard thunder in the distance, and now we had lightening. It started raining again, harder than ever. One time I looked out the window and there was no problem. 15 minutes later I checked again and the flood was back. Yeah, it was all pretty dark out there, but it is pretty close to the patio. The intensity was now higher. Before, the water flowed over the banks. Now it was RUSHING out. There was white water where it rushed through the trees and came out into the grass.
I never really felt threatened. It was cool to watch. Not too easy to see late at night, so I went to bed while it was still going on. The rain had slowed down. Dutchie wanted to stay out, so I let her. She had a roof and a chair. See you in the morning.
It rained off and on all night. When I got up it was stopped at the time. Dutchie was waiting on the patio. She was pretty wet and hungry. There was standing water still in the grass, but no flow. All the plants and bushes Dutchie hides in, near the trees, were flattened by the water flow. Then I saw a picnic table where it oughtn't be. Normally it sits a couple hundred feet to my left. It is a community picnic table, mostly iron. Heavy, and not easily moved by water I would assume. There are only narrow legs, not a lot of surface area for the water to push. Yet the table now sits a hundred feet to my right. Stuffed in a clump of trees. Perhaps only Dutchie knows how it got there.
It has rained off and on all day, even though the weather "experts" say the big stuff is now passed. I heard numbers from 5.91 inches of rain to 7 inches. Today I heard about local flooding in Jeffersontown on the national news. That is just a few miles from here.
Of course, while it is flooding, it is nowhere near what FLOODING has happened elsewhere lately. Colorado, Arkansas and Missouri, and more.
Next weekend all six members of my family, including CYBER-IN-A-WHEELCHAIR, will be celebrating the folks 60th anniversary. Technically it will be a few days early. We are going to go to French Lick, Indiana, a little over an hour northwest of Louisville. Home of Larry Bird, an awesome new golf course, and an old resort built around mineral springs. It is a quaint town and area that has many interesting things to see and do. And take pictures of.
Taking a train trip through the countryside.
Looking forward to it.

Hope the vet can do something good for Enya, Rotty! Prayers to you both! Happy 60th, JoeKy and Dotmom! Looks like nice weather in French Lick this weekend! |
Rotty, Sorry to hear about Enya. What a sad time for you and for her. Give her lots of love from me. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. |
Arbie: her name is Enya and we estimate her to be around +/-43 yo. At some point yesterday she must have fallen, as her face is all cut up and her eye is swollen shut. Contacting vet in a minute when they open. Will try to trailer her one more time to vet as I suspect a bad tooth abscess may be part of the problem... may not be "fixable" in the end, but I have to try. osdianna and Arbie: thank you for your thoughts on her. Know that it's very much appreciated. |
Sorry to hear about your mare Rotty. She sure has been through some ups and downs. What is her name, and how old is she? If you don't mind, that is. :) We're breaking out of the summer heat right on time. If you're going to visit southern Texas come in October. We had a beautiful clear day with moderate temps yesterday. I had to go eat lunch outside and it was hard to go back to work! |
Rotty...sorry to hear your "sweet old girl" is declining. You and she are definitely in my thoughts. |
Congrats to 60 years together to Dotmom and OJ. Lots of continued healing vibes for Cyberspliz and safe travels. Glad the flood wasn't too big a deal overall in KY. Fluffed up Karen spared my area, dropping not the previously forecasted 21 cm (8.5 inches) but "only" about 2.5 cm (~1 inch). Grateful for small favors. Been pretty swamped at work and at home, including home computer having gone down (up? in flames)... well, not as bad as the trailer fire 3 weeks ago, but it apparently fried the motherboard when the power supply blew up - no surge protector helps when the internal power unit fries up. The sadder event is that, unless a miracle occurs, my sweet old girl is crossing over this weekend. Please keep her in your thoughts. Been spending lots of time with her... backhoe operator has been contacted. With her not eating (although she ate about 2 cups of grain pellets overnight), she's lost so much weight that there's not much hope... Unless she starts eating a LOT more. Like 15 lbs / day, not 1/4 - 1/2 lb... (6-7 kg vs. 125-250 g). |
60 years! A real accomplishment. My sincerest congratulations to you both. I'm sure the family reunion will be fun for all. They usually are. |
Happy Anniversary! Dotmom and JoeKy. Take good care of Cyberspilz. |
Thanks to all for the special anniversary greetings. It will be nice to have all the family together. Cyberspilz is traveling by air to Louisville - bringing her walker. We will be renting a "transport" wheel chair for her so we can "push her around." She is healing nicely but cannot put weight on her right side for another six weeks. |
Cool footage of the stream becoming a torrent, and of Miss Dutchie wondering what the heck that roar was. How are they with thunder and lightning? |
I was wondering how you guys made it up there, with all that rain! Shame you didn't have a spotlight on the table as it floated past! But hey, a guy's gotta sleep, right? :' ) Is CS commuting by plane, or by car? Wonder if the airlines charge extra for a wheelchair? If by car, I hope the roads are smooth and clear! |
Joe .. might be a small world .. someone I know is going to French Lick for a family get together .. wonder if its a relative of yours .. she lives in Washington, Il .. will have to ask .. |
An early happy 60th to Dotmom and JoeKY. We also celebrated our parents 60th this summer. How is that for coincidence. We ended up having a mini family reunion with my parents surviving siblings and also long time church friends. Us kids were all able to get off work and make it up to Ohio for a few days so it worked out well. Not many couples are lucky enough to make it that far! Joe's video reminded me of a recent walk in the rain my sister and I took in the forest in the rain. It only rained about 3 inches so the creek was up but not flooding. We walked with umbrellas until the forest floor got too slippery and turned around. The sound if the rain pitter pattering on so many leaves and the creek was very relaxing. I could sleep to that sound if someone made a recording of it. Have a good Monday all! |
There was definitely some current in that little creek, a RIPTIDE even. Verging on a Baywatch disaster, only without The Hoff. I think we can safely assume Joe had got the skimpy red swimsuit and slow motion jogging thing going on, but he wisely kept the video camera pointed at the kind of action that children can safely view: img src=""> Glad to see that Dutchie holds back from the waters edge whilst she checks out the situation. Only after a good visual inspection does she take the picnic table on an Olympic slalom white water rafting expedition. Never even got her paws wet. She doubtless misses the massive meltage events on Haystack that she grew up with. She has trophies. One was said to have been presented by Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon at a glittering awards evening where Joe made a bit of a show of himself re-enacting scenes from Mamma Mia and Footloose... Free bar. Nuff said. |
Well, I just watched the video and I am amazed at how the water "rearranged" the picnic table - downstream. There was a lot of water in that stream this weekend. Dutchie enjoyed. |
Dotmom: We had our third straight day of sunshine...until about 4pm when the latest front began moving in, but it was still 62 degrees. Now, at 9pm our time, it is raining and blowing, but still 57 degrees...very odd. |
osdianna: That is quite a tale about the lady and the dogs. Water is frightening. It has a mind of it's own. Our golf course was closed today because of the weather and that is the first time I remember it closing for weather. Also, there is a 3-day art fair down town and they closed for today. A first in 57 years. We need sun! |
Exciting times for Dutchie, at least; just ho-hum for Joe. I'm glad you had the opportunity to see the flood...I confess I have been wondering about that creek. Most of us never get the opportunity to see what havoc water causes...fortunately. I have a friend who was walking on the beach at low tide, well out of normal harm's way, when a sneaker wave hit her and her two dogs...knocked her off her feet, buried the dogs in sand, and broke her leg when a log hidden in the wave struck her. She was so freaked out about the dogs that she didn't realize her leg was broken, until after the dogs unearthed themselves and she tried to walk off the beach. She had to crawl. More of that rain heading your way...maybe flood lights on the patio? Water wings for Dutchie? |

Symphonic Prog • United Kingdom
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
London, 1982; old friends Gordon Feenie (drums/flute/keys) and Cyrus (bass/vocals) of NOT QUITE RED FOX formed CITIZEN CAIN. Shortly after Tim Taylor joined on guitar. After several unsuccessful months looking for a keyboard player they decided to remain a three-piece. With the backing of KG Publications they gigged extensively and recorded several tracks in the studio, one of which appeared on the compilation album "Fire In Harmony".
Without the keys the first band was more rhythmic than melodic, nevertheless they received high critical acclaim, regularly headlined the famous Marquee club and even had a TV appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test. In 1988, at their peak and on the verge of a record deal with Elusive Records (EMI), disaster struck. A broken arm rendered Cyrus unfit to play and the band had to split up. CITIZEN CAIN was dead and Cyrus returned home to Scotland.
Two years later Cyrus contacted old guitarist friend Frank Kennedy who, with friends Stewart Bell (drums/keys) and Dave Elam (bass), had a few songs written, mostly in the vein of their musical heroes, GENESIS, MARILLION, GENTLE GIANT and the like. Initially going by the name THE KLEPTOMANIACS, with Cyrus on vocals and flute, they played around with a few ideas. After a few months Cyrus suggested that Stewart move solely to keys and drummer Chris Colvin was brought in. They decided to adopt the old title and CITIZEN CAIN was reborn.
In '91 their first demo was recorded and received excellent reviews from most. The following year the debut album "Serpents In Camouflage" was completed but was not up to the standard they had hoped to achieve. Personnel problems had forced them into a last minute decision to use a drum machine and tensions were mounting between other members in the band due to conflicting views on how they should progress. Needless to say CITIZEN CAIN were now seeking a new drummer.
A lucky twist of fate saw their first album picked up by SI Music. The engineer of the studio where the band had recorded had a friend visiting who happened to be an A&R man for the label and he liked what he heard. This set the band in motion and in the year of their debut album's release, the prodigal drummer returned and they gigged extensively supporting the likes of PENDRAGON, THE ENID, FINAL CONFLICT and also headlining a few gigs.
Political problems still existed however and Cyrus and Stewart were forced to make a decision that could have proved disa...read more

With the band being always fond of long and emphatic compositions, ''Raising the stones'' couldn't escape the rule.70 minutes of Retro Prog in the vein of GENESIS with three pieces clocking longer than 10 minutes.''Last days of Cain'' is a great opener, featuring Heatlie on lead guitar, and coming as a complete effort of theatrical Symphonic Rock with impressive synth flights and some harsichord work by Bell, the sinister voice of Cyrus and the measured but well-needed guitar plays of our guest.From this point on the album becomes heavily keyboard-oriented with some sampled instrumentation displayed, exploring the historic style of GENESIS, but being much more complex in nature, while Citizen Cain's lyrical moments and orchestral parts have a quite dark atmosphere.Good enough reason to compare the group with the less shiny side of MARILLION.The compositions remain impressive, unbelievably dense for a duo, with many complicated instrumental ideas, providing a set of unique atmospheres (including some programmed strings).Neo Prog with a blistering sound and monumental symphonic overtones, maybe a bit too much keyboard-based, but always coming up with a great quality of compositions, based on fast grooves, dual keyboard flashes and odd breaks.Typical CC stuff until the very end.Sort of...because the closing ''Silently seeking Euridice'' has to be one of the better songs written by CC, a bit different than their usual offerings.Romantic parts combine with a strong MARILLION-esque atmosphere, big orchestral moves and lovely symphonic strings, featuring a timeless vocal performance by Cyrus.Absolutely brilliant.
These guys could play.''Raising the stones'' is not inferior compared to the rest of the Citizen Cain albums and if you like Genesis-styled Prog Rock this was made for you.Strongly recommended due to some fantastic instrumental parts, vocal lines and the reckless efforts of Bell and Cyrus...3.5 stars.

The word that keeps coming to mind when trying to describe this album is "power", as although they are now reduced to a duo this is very much a band firing on all cylinders that disproves the notion that prog musicians should just sit back and not worry too much about the rock element. That is definitely disproved here as these guys belt it out, yet still have loads of time changes and switches as move through numerous styles and designs. By this time in their history Stewart and Cyrus knew each other well, and how to work together, and more than 15 years after the release of this album they are still producing great music.
Festival Music have reissued the first five albums in a remastered form, and now couldn't be a better time to discover the incredible symphonic prog of Citizen Cain. www.f2music.co.uk

Citizen Cain were originally a trio, forming in 1984 with George Scott (now known as Cyrus or Xyrus) providing bass and vocals, Tim Taylor (guitar and keyboards) and Gordon Feenie (drums, keys and flute). Interestingly, Tim and Gordon were previously both members of Not Quite Red Fox who turned a pre-Marillion Fish down as a frontman because he didn't have enough presence! Over the next three years Citizen Cain gigged a lot, especially in London at The Marquee and started to gain a reputation as a slightly different sounding band due to the way that the bass is often a lead instrument. They had one song on the famed 'Fire In Harmony' compilation, but had to split up after Cyrus was in a car crash that left him unable to play bass. After he returned to Edinburgh he then met up with the guys who would then form the basis for a new group, who went in a more symphonic and overtly early Genesis direction.
So, history lesson out of the way, what is this album actually like? Well, remember that it isn't actually an album as opposed to a collection of songs as they only officially released the one song during their existence. But, given that this originally was a set of low-key recordings from the Eighties it actually stands up well against the other material from the time. Yes, Cyrus has a distinctive voice that makes many think of Gabriel, but these guys sound nothing like Genesis with a bassline and approach that is quite different. I would be interested to hear what they sounded like in the live environment, as keyboards are an important aspect although not essential, and I am sure that Tim switched between the two during a gig as Cyrus is often playing lines that are far more than just backing. This was a powerful prog trio and one can only wonder what they would have achieved if the accident hadn't taken place.
Some people have been quite disparaging about this album which is a real shame as I believe that it definitely has it's place in the prog canon. It is something that I have really enjoyed playing, but just remember that this was early days for the band and in many ways it is totally different to the style they developed in the Nineties. So, although some may feel that this is only one for completists I would instead say that while not essential it is a damn fine listen and something I have enjoyed playing again after quite a while.

It took nearly three years to record, and much of the momentum gained from their earlier superb albums such as 'Serpents In Camouflage' has been lost, and the new album has been released on their own label whereas the reissues of their SI albums had been on Cyclops. So is this enough to be able to get them noticed again?
Hopefully the answer to that will be a resounding 'yes', as yet again Cyrus and Stewart have produced an album that will have critics and progheads alike wanting to play it repeatedly. Citizen Cain will always find themselves compared to old-school Genesis because of Cyrus's vocal style, and the fact that he can sound uncannily like Gabriel when he wishes to. But, and it is a big but, this not an album of a Genesis copyist but rather an album that takes that musical ideal and moves with it. Genesis may have become something of a parody of their former selves but CC have shown that it is possible to develop that musical style into something that is still worthy of the label 'prog'. I love the Python excerpt in 'Inner Silence'.
The underground scene isn't nearly as active as when they first came onto the scene, or even the second time, but now they are back for the third with a complex complicated album that any proghead will surely enjoy. It's time for progheads to rediscover the joys of Citizen Cain.

Citizen Cain was always a very dark-sounding band and ''Ghost dance'' is the greatest proof.Although the sound of the band has always been linked with MARILLION and GENESIS, Citizen Cain did have their own style and presented much more haunting atmospheres than the aforementioned bands.Some of the guitar breaks even recalls KING CRIMSON, while plenty of the grooves have a strong RUSH vibe.Sure thing they do not sounded like the mass of Neo Prog bands of early- to mid-80's except of Cyrus' voice, who was another PETER GABRIEL copycat, alas a very good one.The compositions are characterized by the very powerful and deep bass lines of Cyrus along with Feenie's solid drumming and the diverse and sharp guitar work of Taylor.Working as a trio prevented Citizen Cain to have the richest of styles back at the time, so keyboard and flute parts are sparse.However ''Ghost dance'' presents a group full of energy, high dynamics and passion for producing top-gear Progressive Rock with rapid changes and shifting moods.
A nice archival/documental release by Citizen Cain, although I can see many fans of the band prefering their 90's period, when their sound was richer and less raw.Still this one comes recommended, especially for all lovers of the early-80's rough British Prog stylings.

When the disc arrived I opened the booklet to see who was involved, and could see just three names ? Cyrus, Stewart and Phil Allen. Annoyingly for me there are no details about who played what, and who (if any) were the additional musicians involved. The Citizen Cain website is still under construction, and the Festival Music site just lists releases so neither are helpful in this regard. I did find a few details on one site where it states that Stewart provided drums as well as keys, Cyrus provided bass (as he did in the early days of the band) and vocals and Phil provided guitars. There is a very simple reason as to why this bothers me, as we need to give credit where credit is due as this is an absolutely stunning piece of work. To put it bluntly, this is one of the finest prog albums you are ever likely to hear.
Put it in the player and immediately the listener is taken aback by the complexity and interplay of the introduction to "The Charnal House". The maelstrom of notes and complicated inter-rhythms gives way to delicate piano and vocals, and one of the most Genesis-like passages of the whole album. Already the listener is deep inside the world of Citizen Cain, and with less than three minutes on the clock there has been musically a lot to digest. The interplay between the musicians, and particularly the way that the melodies and counterpoints are chased and are at times heavily structured and dense, contrast greatly with the simplicity of other phases of the music. And all of this within one song! Stewart's keyboards are a revelation, bringing together a multitude of sounds and styles, often layered, and he would need to be an octopus to be able to replicate this in a live environment.
By the time I got to the end of this album I felt that I had been taken on an incredible musical journey, one with a richness and passion to match anything I have heard in recent years. The only sane thing to do after listening to this is put it back on. The more I have played it the more I have fallen into the spell. So it took 10 years for this one, when's the next? 5/5 in anyone's language.

It has this theme running through it about how man has failed to learn from past mistakes and the skies are getting darker because of it. Soon it will catch up with humanity and the storm will break. There seems to be a lot of nursery rhyme references on this record as well.
"The Charnal House" is surprisingly heavy. Love the chunky bass, and vocals arrive a minute in. It's heavy again before 2 1/2 minutes as contrasts continue. It blends into "The Long Sleep" where we get some huge bass lines. A calm with piano before 3 minutes and reserved vocals join in. It kicks back in quickly. Again contrasts continue. Spoken words late. "Darkest Sleep / Manifestations" has this marching styled rhythm as the vocals join in. It's building. A calm before 2 minutes then it kicks back in a minute later. I like these powerful sections. "Spiders In Undergrowth" features lots of piano.
"The Hunting Of Johnny Eue / Trapped By Candlelight" has a good heavy sound 2 minutes in then the vocals arrive and it's not as heavy. These contrasts continue. An atmospheric calm 9 minutes in. Great sound of drums and synths when it kicks back in. "Coming Down / The Fountains Of Sand / Delivered Up For Tea / Death And Rebirth" has a powerful intro with chunky bass. A calm with reserved vocals before 1 1/2 minutes and the piano joins in. It continues to be laid back until before 6 minutes when we get a bombastic instrumental section that ends before 8 minutes. Impressive. Spoken words late. "Do We Walk In The World ?" opens with piano as the vocals join in. Bass and drums too. Lots of synths before 4 minutes. It's heavy late as it blends into "Lost In Lonely Ghosts". Vocals follow then we get a silent calm 3 minutes in then the reserved vocals return before it kicks back in.
A good album but i'll stick with their first two studio albums thankyou. 3 stars.

The album's centrepiece track is surely the lengthy "Coming Down / The Fountains Of Sand / Delivered Up For Tea / Death And Rebirth". This is one of those 'journey' songs where the listener is treated to different moods, tempos and approaches, all the while featuring memorable melodies that will please any prog lover - and this is the important ingredient so often missing from other releases of this genre. Although the previously mentioned "Johnny Eue" is a terrific and strong track, this one is certainly another that will give core CC fans what they really desire (they won't be let down by *any* of the tracks, actually).
Terrific writing and playing, a good sense of storytelling, instantly likeable melodies and delicious lyrics add up to a nice long album that you can really sink your teeth into - but it does not seem as long as it is. And that's a very, very good sign. It's refreshing to have an album of this epic scope where there are no 'skipper' tracks.
Only time will tell if Skies Darken will unseat Somewhere But Yesterday as the best Citizen Cain album, but at this early stage, to my ears, this is the best thing they've ever done. I've spun the disc about a dozen times in a very short space because it is just so good, and that's really saying something considering I constantly have a huge stack of cds to go through... the ones that simply aren't as good get shelved rather quickly. This is not one of those. This album is a winner. Well done, lads. Recommended!

Aquatic Invasions Volume 10, Issue 2 (2015)
Xavier Pochon, Javier Atalah, Susanna A. Wood, Grant A. Hopkins, Ashleigh Watts and Christian Boedeker Cladophora ruchingeri (C.Agardh) Kützing, 1845 (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta): a new biofouling pest of green-lipped mussel Perna canaliculus (Gmelin, 1791) farms in New Zealand (pp 123-133)
Download article (Open Access)
Cladophora is a genus of branched filamentous green algae (Ulvophyceae). It contains many species that are challenging to differentiate based on morphology because of the scarcity of diagnostic characters and extensive phenotypic plasticity. Within the past five years, Cladophora blooms have been observed on the ropes of green-lipped mussel farms in the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand. When Cladophora reaches high biomass, it can clog mussel-harvesting equipment; thus, it is considered a nuisance organism in the region. This study used morphological and molecular techniques to identify the species responsible for the blooms, and to investigate whether this might be a recent incursion. Cladophora samples (n = 21) were collected from nine mussel farms, one salmon farm, and a marina. Morphological and phylogenetic analyses (partial large subunit and internally transcribed spacer regions 1 and 2 of the nuclear ribosomal cistron), revealed the identity of the bloom forming species as Cladophora ruchingeri (C.Agardh) Kützing, 1845. This represents the first report of this species in the Southern Hemisphere and Pacific region. Given the distinct morphology of C. ruchingeri (when mature), its absence from previous surveys of macro-algae from this region, and increasing reports of blooms, our findings suggest that this species has only recently been introduced to New Zealand. This study provides a robust taxonomic identification and initial baseline data. Further directed studies on Cladophora are required to advance knowledge on its ecology and distribution in New Zealand, and assist in the development of mitigation strategies.
Collin H. Johnson and Robert M. Woollacott Analyses with newly developed microsatellite markers elucidate the spread dynamics of Tricellaria inopinata d'Hondt and Occhipinti-Ambrogi, 1985 - a recently established bryozoan along the New England seashore (pp 135-145)
The majority of bryozoans possess short-lived larvae with limited dispersal potential, yet many species of bryozoans have obtained global distributions. The marine bryozoan Tricellaria inopinata d'Hondt and Occhipinti-Ambrogi, 1985 was first described from specimens collected in 1982 in the Lagoon of Venice, but is thought to be native to the northeast Pacific. By 2009, it could be found in various locales in the eastern Atlantic including Spain, France, England, and Ireland. In 2010, T. inopinata was found for the first time in the western Atlantic in Eel Pond, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and shortly thereafter was collected in several other locales in the area. A newly developed suite of polymorphic microsatellite loci was used to investigate this recent range expansion of T. inopinata in an effort to understand what makes these animals such successful invaders. We examined various aspects of the population genetics of adult colonies collected from four sites in eastern Massachusetts: Eel Pond, Boston Harbor, Marblehead and Gloucester. There was significant genotypic differentiation between all sites. Higher homogeneity between the Eel Pond and Boston Harbor populations, as well as the potential for Eel Pond acting as a source of migrants for Boston Harbor, suggest that Eel Pond was a source population for the Boston Harbor population. In contrast, levels of genotypic differentiation and a lack of migrants suggested that the Marblehead and Gloucester populations likely did not originate from animals in Eel Pond. Thus, the recent range expansion by T. inopinata in the western Atlantic appears to be a result of multiple introduction events.
Robert Hershler, Hsiu-Ping Liu, James T. Carlton, Andrew N. Cohen, Cheryl B. Davis, Jeff Sorensen and David Weedman New discoveries of introduced and cryptogenic fresh and brackish water gastropods (Caenogastropoda: Cochliopidae) in the western United States (pp 147-156)
We report the discovery of a second western Atlantic brackish-coastal cochliopid gastropod in San Francisco Bay (Spurwinkia salsa (Pilsbry, 1905)), and detail the first records for a widely distributed member of the family, Tryonia porrecta (Mighels, 1845), from artificial lakes (in the Phoenix metropolitan area). These identifications were based on morphological criteria and supported by mitochondrial DNA sequence data that also indicates little or no divergence of the newly reported populations, which is consistent with evolutionarily recent spread or separation. Spurwinkia salsa was most likely introduced to San Francisco Bay either in recent decades in bait worm packing or ships' ballast or in the 19th or early 20th century in solid ballast or with oyster imports. The discovery of T. porrecta in artificial lakes in the Phoenix area in 1984 and 2014 may be due to either recent arrival in the area or to dispersal into a newly available habitat from a population long present in the area. In either case, the occurrence of T. porrecta in the Phoenix area is likely due to transport on birds along an eastern branch of the Pacific Flyway. The discovery of T. porrecta in artificial lakes suggests that this species (which is typically distributed in thermal springs) is more broadly tolerant than previously thought. Additional spread of this unusual snail within the highly modified aquatic ecosystem of the Phoenix metropolitan area (which includes more than 900 artificial lakes) would appear likely.

The results of our study confirm the occurrence of the cryptic invader Ferrissia fragilis (Tryon, 1863) in Brazil, a species of worldwide geographical distribution and with poorly known morphology that is pervasive in several countries. Specimens were collected in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil. We describe their morphology, and analyze the similarity of haplotypes generated from these samples with those previously obtained for F. fragilis. Shell morphology was compared by light and scanning microscopy. Soft parts of stained dissected specimens were studied under the stereomicroscope. Molecular analysis was performed on three specimens from each sample using the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene. Based on a comprehensive analysis, including both morphological and molecular methodologies, we were able to identify the examined specimens as F. fragilis.
Brittany Harried, Kyle Fischer, Kathryn E. Perez and Gregory J. Sandland Assessing infection patterns in Chinese mystery snails from Wisconsin, USA using field and laboratory approaches (pp 169-175)
The success of invasive species establishment in new habitats depends, in part, on interactions with other members of the invaded community. Cipangopaludina chinensis, the Chinese mystery snail (CMS), is an exotic, invasive snail in North America. Since its introduction in the 1890s, CMS have spread to a number of watersheds across the United States and parts of Canada. This invasion has generated questions about the snail's capacity to serve as a host for parasites within local habitats, including parasites with conservation implications. To begin addressing these questions, we necropsied 147 wild-caught snails from 22 lakes across Wisconsin, finding only two CMS individuals harboring trematode (flatworm) parasites. We also conducted experimental exposures using a trematode (Sphaeridiotrema pseudoglobulus) implicated in waterfowl die-offs and found that CMS infection levels were significantly lower than those in co-occurring snail species. Furthermore, the parasites that did successfully infect CMS were often found encased in the shells of the snails in a non-viable state. Together these results 1) provide insight into the importance of CMS as a host for parasites in the region, and 2) may help to explain the wide distribution of CMS across WI and the Midwest.
Niels-Viggo Hobbs, Eric Lazo-Wasem, Marco Faasse, Jeffery R. Cordell, John W. Chapman, Carter S. Smith, Robert Prezant, Rebecca Shell and James T. Carlton Going global: The introduction of the Asian isopod Ianiropsis serricaudis Gurjanova (Crustacea: Peracarida) to North America and Europe (pp 177-187)
The Asian isopod Ianiropsis serricaudis is now well established in fouling communities, often associated with introduced ascidians, throughout the Northern Hemisphere but has gone largely unnoticed because of its diminutive size (typically less than 3 mm in length) and the difficulties of identifying small peracarid crustaceans. Known locations include the northeastern Pacific (Puget Sound, San Francisco Bay, and Monterey Bay), the northwestern Atlantic (from the Gulf of Maine to Barnegat Bay, NJ), and the northeastern Atlantic (England and the Netherlands). We predict that this species is widespread along North America and European coasts, and may already be introduced to cold temperate waters of the Southern Hemisphere as well.
Scott M. Reid and Joseph J. Nocera Composition of native crayfish assemblages in southern Ontario rivers affected by rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus Girard, 1852) invasions – implications for endangered queensnake recovery (pp 189-198)
Orconectes rusticus (rusty crayfish) is an aggressive and prolific aquatic invader. Where introduced, it has caused dramatic ecosystem changes, including the replacement of native crayfishes. In Canada, it was first reported in Lake of the Woods in northwestern Ontario and a small number of south-central Ontario lakes during the 1960s. It has subsequently spread to other regions of the province. Its current expansion into southwestern Ontario rivers presents an unknown risk to the endangered queensnake (Regina septemvittata), an obligate feeder on freshly molted crayfish. We sampled 99 river sites across southern Ontario to: (i) describe crayfish assemblages within river reaches currently occupied by Queensnake; and, (ii) characterize the impact of O. rusticus on native crayfish assemblages. O. rusticus was caught at 41% of sites sampled, and was the only species at 24% of sites. The abundance, richness, and within-site distribution of native crayfishes were all significantly lower at sites with O. rusticus. Within the distribution of queensnake, crayfish assemblages were almost entirely dominated by O. propinquus, with O. rusticus being absent. However, O. rusticus was found along the lower Speed River, where only one dam separates it from Grand River queensnake populations. Given its past spread, O. rusticus will likely be introduced into areas used by queensnake and replace O. propinquus (the primary prey of queensnake). The adaptability of queensnake to prey upon non-native crayfish is unknown and requires investigation.
Luca Peruzza, Federica Piazza, Chiara Manfrin, Lucrezia Celeste Bonzi, Silvia Battistella and Piero Giulio Giulianini Reproductive plasticity of a Procambarus clarkii population living 10°C below its thermal optimum (pp 199-208)
In this study the annual reproductive biology of a Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852) population living in an atypical habitat with cold spring waters is investigated by monitoring Gonado-Somatic and Hepato-Somatic Indexes (GSI and HSI) and by performing cytology on ovaries. Despite its known preference for habitats with water temperature from 21 to 30 °C, our results clearly confirm the adaptation of this population to the atypical thermal habitat, characterised by an annual mean water temperature value of 13.32 ±0.08 °C. Maximum gonadal development was reached in August, with maximum GSI median value of 0.64 (instead of reported values even 10 times higher for other populations), and ovigerous females were found in autumn, with mean realized fecundity of 35 ±7 compared to 285–995 reported from other habitats. Histological analysis was consistent with other studies and allowed us to follow ovarian development at cytological level. The importance of all these results is not to be underestimated: to our knowledge these findings are the first report of the coolest habitat successfully colonized by this species at the present time and so they have to be taken as a warning about the possible range expansion of P. clarkii also to northern and colder habitats that have few things in common with the native habitat of the species and, up to now, were considered "safe" from the invasion of the red swamp crayfish.
Stefania Chiesa, Massimiliano Scalici, Livia Lucentini and Francesco Nonnis Marzano Molecular identification of an alien temnocephalan crayfish parasite in Italian freshwaters (pp 209-216)
Although the symbionts of non-vertebrate metazoans have received scarce attention, scientific interest has recently increased as these symbionts can spread diseases and alter the diversity of the ecosystem where hosts are introduced. We report here a symbiont newly described by molecular markers and observed on the yabby Cherax destructor Clark, 1936, collected in Italian freshwaters. Preliminary morphological observations were performed and a species identification was proposed using molecular techniques. In particular, a 644-bp long 28S rDNA fragment was successfully sequenced and could be aligned for the entire sample set. The minimum spanning network identified two haplotypes clustered into a single haplogroup (H1) together with Temnosewellia minor Haswell, 1888 reference sequences. Considering the introduction of temnocephalans, this represents the third discovery of alien crayfish symbionts in Italian freshwaters, but the first obtained by molecular data. Outside Europe, there are only few records of alien temnocephalans worldwide, introduced with the crayfishes from Australia. The occurrence of this new temnocephalid species and the great number of potential hosts species inhabiting Italian freshwaters suggest that the Italian peninsula might have many undescribed temnocephalid populations/species.
Michael E. Guinan Jr, Kevin L. Kapuscinski and Mark A. Teece Seasonal diet shifts and trophic position of an invasive cyprinid, the rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus (Linnaeus, 1758), in the upper Niagara River (pp 217-225)
Dietary shifts of invasive rudds Scardinius erythrophthalmus (Linnaeus, 1758) and food web structure of the upper Niagara River were examined. Stable isotope analysis (SIA) of liver tissue was used to test the hypothesis that rudds shifted their diets from piscivory during early spring months when macrophyte availability was low towards herbivory when macrophytes were abundant and warmer water temperatures facilitated digestion. Muscle tissue was used to evaluate the trophic position of rudds and other invasive species relative to native species. SIA revealed enriched δ15N and depleted δ13C in liver tissue of rudds during early spring months, suggesting a mostly piscivorous diet of pelagic origin when macrophyte availability was low, and depressed δ15N and elevated δ13C values during warmer summer months when littoral macrophytes were abundant. Analysis of muscle tissue from late summer indicated that rudds and other invasive fishes, including common carp Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758) and goldfish Carassius auratus (Linnaeus, 1758), had similar trophic positions that may be attributed to their omnivorous feeding strategies. The ability of rudds to shift their diets from feeding on fishes of pelagic origin towards consuming littoral macrophytes is an adaptation that is likely to both facilitate invasion and create novel pathways of nutrient transfer among habitat types. Our results provide an increased understanding of the feeding ecology of the rudd and the role of this invasive species in the food web of the upper Niagara River.
Kristína Hôrková and Vladimír Kováč Ontogenetic phenomena, temporal aspect, and ecological factors in the successful invasion of round goby Neogobius melanostomus in the River Danube (pp 227-235)
Plasticity in life-history traits is thought to be one of the key factors that contribute to adaptation of invasive species to the novel environment at the beginning of an invasion. It has been found that round gobies Neogobius melanostomus from freshly invaded areas (invasion front) exhibit different life-history traits than individuals from core or central areas with well-established populations. The theory of alternative ontogeny and invasive potential predicts such differences. Nevertheless, it is difficult to distinguish between the effects of intrinsic ontogenetic phenomena and the effects of particular ecological factors on life-history traits of populations at various stages of invasion. Thus, the main aim of this study was to test the prediction that two sub-populations of round gobies from two habitats exposed to a different intensity of anthropogenic pressures in the River Danube, but at the same stage of invasion, will have significant differences in their reproductive parameters. Females from the relatively undisturbed habitat were predicted to have 1) larger oocytes, 2) lower absolute number of oocytes, and 3) lower real absolute fecundity. For two parameters (1 and 3), differences were statistically significant, as predicted. For parameter 2, the difference was as predicted, though not significant. Several studies suggest that changes in life-history traits observed over the progressing invasions of fishes are typical rather than accidental. They appear to be related to the stage of the invasion and closely associated with ontogenetic phenomena (the capability to generate alternative ontogenies). However, ecological factors also play an important role in this process. If the habitat is exposed to permanent disturbances, the established invasive population will probably keep the same life-history traits as at the beginning of the invasion.
Tiffany S. Garcia, Jennifer C. Rowe and James B. Doyle A tad too high: Sensitivity to UV-B radiation may limit invasion potential of American bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) in the Pacific Northwest invasion range (pp 237-247)
Biological invasion potential can be strongly influenced by abiotic factors such as temperature, water availability, and solar radiation. Invasive species that possess phenotypically plastic traits can mediate impacts from these stressors, but may be unable to recognize and respond to dangerous levels in a novel environment. Understanding potential constraints on appropriate trait responses induced by abiotic stressors can aid in the management and control of important invaders. Our study explored tolerance and plastic trait response to UV-B radiation in an invasive anuran, the American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus Shaw, 1802). We experimentally quantified larval mortality rates and color change responses across two larval size classes. In a second experiment, we investigated the potential for a correlated color change and behavioral (refuge use) response in the small size class. We predicted that individuals would respond to stressful and potentially harmful UV-B exposure rates with darkening of body coloration, and when refuge was available, a correlated defense strategy utilizing both color change and refuge. We found an increase in larval mortality across both size classes at UV-B exposure rates typical to both low and high elevation aquatic breeding sites (10-12µW/cm² and 20-24µW/cm², respectively). Only bullfrog larvae in the small size class exhibited a darkening in body color when exposed to high UV-B treatments. Although this smaller size class did exhibit color plasticity, individuals did not correlate changes in body coloration with changes in refuge use. These results suggest ontogenetic differences (estimated by size class) in plastic color response to UV-B stress as well as constraints on behavioral use of refuge. These findings are important in understanding differences in bullfrog occupancy of breeding habitats across an elevational gradient, particularly in Oregon's Cascade Mountain Range, where bullfrog distributions are currently limited at elevations above 1000m.

DIV Layouts instead of Tables
Web page layouts are best done where possible using DIV blocks defined by style sheets. Once understood, DIV formatting is easier to use than tables. One reason is because they do not require colspan and rowspan tracking which can be burdensome with frequent editing.
Tables were originally intended for showing tabular data. For example, a list of distances between cities. Browsers intended for use by the blind or other accessibility enhanced browsers can make sense from these tables. However, when tables are used for formatting, it can confuse both, the accessibility enhanced browser and the user.
Learning to user DIV tags for layouts can be difficult to do. "How to" instructions are sorely missing from the spec.
DIV layout methods
Here are 3 different methods for laying out a web page using <div> instead of tables. The most clever amongst you will enjoy combining the techniques.

My 3m carbon wrap supplies arrived today so I cracked on this arvo.... B posts done... Grill surround... Dash mid fitting.... ash tray.. Done...
That looks really classy, as opposed to many other carbon wraps I've seen... Good job buddy. Is that actual carbon fibre then, or just a sticker? If so, how do you stick it down and how have you found it for moulding round complex curves?
Tom, how on earth do you get the B-pillars off? Mine could do with a paint (or wrap!) but I've got no idea how to get them off to do so! Looks awesome mate, I really like that. How much was the carbon wrap?
Its 3M Di-noc so its vinyl Cut it roughly to size, peel off the backing and give it a blast with a heat gun...you can then stretch it over whatever you want to cover (within reason). Its good stuff but you do need to get some heat into it to get it to go where you want it to. Prawn - they were left on the car for rapping . I managed to get it all the way around using my bank card to poke it behind the cover if that makes sense (by the rear windows) and then down behind the door seal on the other side. I did spot 2 pop rivets holding the black covers on so I think to remove the covers you have to get drilling. If you push the door seal out the way you'll see the rivets. T
nice work tom. is that the *real touch effect* carbon vinyl off Ebay?? ummed and arreed at that shizzle when i sprayed my center console. Top points for tom, that looks shweeet! EDIT: ahh yeh it is that ebay stuff... you answered as i wrote this thread. :icon_thumright:
Oh and I got a 1200mm by 600mm sheet for 30 quid off the bay...still have about half left. I could do my mirrors but the be honest I think less is more with this stuff...I like the subtle look
I might make a big 'S3' sticker out of it and put it on the back jas As for the sunlight is should be fine, 3M say its for exterior use on buildings etc so fingers crossed it'll be OK
Just had a thought, I could wrap my grill like you've done n if I don't like it, I can just peel it off again. As I noticed they do all kinds of colours. Saves destroying the chrome.
Nothing to be scared of mate, its easy. Just take the inlays off and get busy with it. The grill was one long strip...place the surrounf onto it and cut around it. That means that the surround is wrapped in one bit so there are no joins... simples Its easy to get off too. I wrapped the surround as the black paint was stonechipped to buggery, the stuff seems really tough so shouldnt get too damaged by stones etc.
WOW! that looks awesome, good effort! i was contemplating doing these bits to mine and maybe the roof! does it look as good in real life to how it does in the pictures? cheers will
Right mate you've convinced me, I'm gonna give this a go. I'm gonna see if I can pick up some cheap wooden trims and use them. I got a sample from 3m last year sometime and it is good stuff!
looks better than the stuff I once used in the 90`s lol that was shiney but did the job on a scratched center console
Looks good Tom. £30 a sheet is a bargain. I've got the next week off work so I'm going to order some. I'll probably end up wrapping everything I own in carbon fibre though.
Bet you did Tim you chav haha. Looks spot on Tom. Wonder what the charge pipe would look like wrapped? *Hint Hint*
Very nice, not to sure on the grill surround though, do they do the wrap in plain mat black, I've had my grill black for a couple of months and it's got a few stone chips already, would be interested in wrapping it black.
Now thats a thought, wonder if its heat proof. Yeh apparantly you can get it in all kinds of colours including matt black. Just orded a small piece of this 100 x 200 for a couple quid to see what its like.
I wouldnt do anything that gets hot guys as it'll melt. It goes very stretchy when you heat it with a heat gun so it would be a no no for the charge pipe
Looks great I think and you have me thinking of what I can do next with it... Did you have a sheet long enough to just cut the shape of the grill out or was it a long strip that can bend around the corners with the heat gun?
I placed the grill surround on the material and then drew around it, then cut the middle out of it and then applied it...cutting off the excess as I went so its not one long strip that I've bent around. I didnt want a join on it
I think he cut the whole shape out the sheet as there were no joins n think the sheet he got was 1200mm by 600 so more than enough. EDIT: Was 23 minutes too slow lol. Atleast I was right
