Lt. Baldwin heads to Plaistow! Chief claims he offered promotion
April 21, 2011
Atkinson to lose veteran police officer
By Cara Hogan firstname.lastname@example.com The Eagle Tribune Thu Apr 21, 2011, 12:13 AM EDT
PLAISTOW — Veteran Atkinson police Lt. William Baldwin is leaving the department, but he's not going far. He said he will be hired as a lieutenant in Plaistow.
"I've been given an opportunity to better my career," he said yesterday. "Atkinson has given me everything they can at this point. Moving to Plaistow is a positive career move."
Baldwin has worked in Atkinson for 14 years, and in law enforcement with the military and as a civilian for 21 years. He said he applied for the position months ago when Plaistow received $231,000 from the Community Oriented Policing Services program to hire a new officer.
His salary, starting date and other details have not been worked out. He is paid more than $60,000 in Atkinson.
Plaistow Deputy police Chief Kathleen Jones could not confirm her department is hiring Baldwin because it's not official.
"Technically, he hasn't been formally hired by the town yet," Jones said yesterday. "He hasn't signed on the dotted line. It won't be official until next week."
But Atkinson is already feeling the effects of Baldwin's departure.
Atkinson police Chief Philip Consentino said he is devastated that Baldwin is leaving Atkinson.
"He's my second in command, my number one guy when I need things done," he said yesterday. "It's really a sad day in Atkinson to lose him. He is so well-respected by the residents, and he knows this town inside and out."
Consentino said Baldwin hasn't given his official notice yet, but there will be no counter offer from Atkinson. Consentino said he asked the Board of Selectmen to promote Baldwin in order to keep him in town.
"I offered him a promotion to the rank of captain and offered him a very slight increase in his hourly wage, $1 an hour," Consentino said, "but the selectmen refused to give him that and, consequently, he's leaving. It will cost more money to train his replacement."
Selectmen's Chairman William Bennett said the board chose not to promote Baldwin.
"While Lt. Baldwin is a very good asset for the town, the town is not big enough to need a captain," Bennett said. "Also, we've had all town employees' pay frozen for two years. We didn't think it would be right to the other employees for Baldwin to be singled out and get a raise. We regret losing Baldwin to Plaistow, but we wish him well."
Consentino argued it would be very difficult to replace Baldwin and, until his replacement has been hired, Atkinson will be understaffed.
"I don't know exactly when he's leaving," Consentino said. "I've only got five full-time officers and if I lose one, I'm going to be in tough shape. I need two more full-time officers on top of the five I have. Summer is my busiest time."
Selectmen have the authority to hire new officers and Consentino has already presented a number of options for them to consider.
Baldwin said he hopes Atkinson residents will look at his new job in a positive light.
"I've given a lot to the town all these years and I'm very thankful to the people of Atkinson," he said. "They're why I stayed there as long as I have."
Baldwin also serves on the Timberlane Regional School Board. But he said there is no conflict of interest between his two positions and he will serve the remainder of his term, until 2012.

"I've been given an opportunity to better my career,"
His statement speaks volumes.
He couldn't stand working for you anymore and couldn't get out of your corrupt regime fast enough.
Having a hard time filling vacant slots? Its common knowledge among other departments Atkinson Pd is the worst PD to work for. The only new applicants you get are people who can't get work anywhere else. It's often stated most of the current officers are good policemen; however, their unwillingness to expose a criminal within their midst compromises a lot of the good they stand for, unfortunately.
The quality of officers will decline and continue to decline until a professional police leader that follows the law is brought in.
Atkinson is not safer under your leadership when you can't keep any officers who actually do police work. It's spiralling downward getting worse by the day. Only God can help us now.

Note how Consentino is using Baldwin's departure as an excuse to make the APD bigger --- Because I'm losing one officer, I need to hire TWO full-time officers to replace him. If he lost two officers, he'd claim that he needs four to replace them.
All Phil wants is a bigger, and bigger police department, with its accompanying increased budget, and to service is never-satisfied ego.
Next, we'll need to have to get a new police car to accomodate the new extra police officer.

Remember when Baldwin was promoted to Lt. and it was said that when Phil retired, Baldwin was going to step up to the Chief's position?
And remember how each year, Phil says that he would be stepping down in the near future--
but instead, keeps staying, and staying and staying and staying.
Baldwin was assisted and encouraged to leave with his realization that he would never be Chief because Phil's massive ego and need for power will never allow him to step down and allow for ANYONE else, including a long waiting Baldwin, to be able to move up.
Consentino is beyond retirement age but is so power hungry that he just can't and won't let go.

Right or wrong, many of the bloggers on this site, are ready to sit in judgement of others, armed with a range of facts from none to maybe substantial. I wonder if they would be as willing to see their every move judged by those who may not have any, or all the facts, but are willing to quickly pass judgement?
The blog---I guess...does serve a useful purpose...as a place for those people to vent...who would not want themselves on their own jury.

Funny. The only person who is allowed to have a conflict and vote themselves raises, have their family work for them, mingle monies from distinct budgets, use cars for personal use, use town assets for personal use, decide who get services and who doesn't...the ONLY person, is Phil.
He has been judged very lightly but comes down very hard on everyone he doesn't like.
So please do not tell me that the bloggers are over judging anyone, that's hypocritical.

Congratulations Mr Baldwin. I wish you the best in your new job. People sometimes forget it comes down to business. You need to do what is best for you.
The town will lose a good officer.
Maybe now the town will consider changing the part time police chief position to a full time position.
Best of luck.

You, as well as every one on this blog have the absolute right to question your government in any manner you choose for their actions.
Your government and it's petulant officials DO NOT have the right to use their position to defame, demean, or otherwise attack their constituents, unfortunately Atkinson has earned that reputation.
Billy, I wish you well, but as I told you 5 years ago, you shouldn't trust Phil to negotiate anything for you. You should have gone into that meeting and stood up for yourself rather than trust him to do it.

It is time to take action on the chief. Ask him to retire immediately or force retirement on him or just out right fire him. He has cost the town more than money in his past crazy antics. If he is out as chief and the position is available give it to Baldwin or seek a chief from the many capable outsiders who are available. Do you really think the Plaistow Police are going to take over the APD duties? I think not even if their selectmen are for it in principal. The Plaistow residents would be outraged no matter what the two towns agreed to pay for the police safety services to Atkinson. The hiring of Baldwin as a Lt. isn't any where near fair for those officers in the Plaistow P.D.who have been there for years awaiting a chance for promotion . If he is hired as Lt. it would cause many problems for the Plaistow P.D.personal. If he is so intent on leaving Atkinson then he should appear before the selectmen and give his true reasons for doing so. If in my thinkings are right about Baldwin doing so then the Con man has to no choice but to retire or be fired. When did you say the chiefs last appointment was? That alone is cause for the Con man to be brought before the BOS for the towns benifit to finally close all the past problems with the chief and the law suits,etc. JMHO.

And to be brutally honest, I would have had no problem with any Full time Lt. if the position had not been created illegally. We never had a full time Lt., it was simply put into existence by the selectmen without voter approval. They do not have the right to create a new position without going through the voters.
But they did, the same way they bought a New SUV for the PD 8 days after a town meeting that did not mention it to the voters.

Before anyone tells me to get my facts straight, I'll admit right now I do not know the legal limits of the Selectmes' powers.
But you assert they had no right to create a full-time position, and complain they bought a new SUV 8 days after a meeting without voter affirmation.
If they're required by law to act on these only with explicit voter approval, then they should be criticized. But if they were legally empowered to act as they did, then I am fine with their actions.
Selectmen deserve the freedom to do the job they're elected to do, within legal limits.
So was creating the full-time job outside their authority? How about the SUV? Or is there more to the story?

I don't know Baldwin personally, but from what I've seen and read I'm not sure this is the worst thing that could happen. Here's why:
1) $60,000/yr for a Lt. police officer in a pohunk town of 6,000 people? Why in the hell are we paying so much?
2) Remember Lt. Balwin's little "discrepency" with trying to get paid twice during some Coast Guard training in the U.S.? That seemed dishonest on his part, that pay seemed aimed at those that were deployed.
3) On the Board of Education he seemed a bit over his head; a little too much ego, not enough knowledge.
4) I saw him directing traffic for an electric crew once. He started screaming like a maniac at a car coming from the opposite direction at a car that was confused as to what to do; it was very unprofessional, especially for someone that's supposed to be an officer.
Balwin worked for years under Consentino; that means that he stood by while all the bullying was going on. Silence = approval. What was his price to stay silent and not blow the whistle on Phil's shenanigans? $60,000. I hope the price of my integrity is a little higher than that.
Bye Lt. Baldwin, good luck on the new job...

4:54 P.M. , While at the monday night BOS meeting some one should bring up why the selectmen haven't acted on removing the Con man from the police department as the towns chief. His past actions alone are enough to remove him by forcing retirement on him or by justly firing him. Baldwin can act as chief temporarily until a chief ,even him,can be put in place. Asking this question will put the selectmen on the spot because the meeting will be televised and made public in the papers.

We could use a detective who spends less time chasing checks and understands the job better. I think the town needs a full timer who can put 100% into it. An elderly manager who can put 100% into it. it's the "part time" that concerns me because we need full time qualified protection. My opinion is this town has more crime than gets reported or followed up on. I hear a lot of stories about not following up and reports not accurate.
Full time beats part time every time.

The voters and residents are to be heard by the BOS. That is their job, to do the bidding of the towns residents ,especially those who put them in office. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD AND THEY HAVE TO DO THE WHAT THE MAJORITY ,NOT THE MINORITY, HAS ASKED OF THEM! GET IT. If not then wait for the next election to oust those who will not conform to the majority in town. Don't take that attitude of why try when the BOS is going to do what it wants anyway. Its time for a change of politics in town and it can be started in this issue on this site.

Actually, the BOS is NOT bound to act as the majority wishes... they can do whatever they want that is within their legal authority.
Certainly, if they act against the wishes of the majority of the electorate, they risk not being re-elected.
But, if 3,000 voters showed up at a meeting demanding that the BOS do X... but they instead wanted to do Y and Y is legal, they are totally within their rights to ignore the electorate and act as they wish.
History has many examples of where elected officials bucked popular opinion.

More people in town could wake up to their civic duty to pay attention to what their government is doing. A while ago now, the Jews in Germany didn't pay attention and failed to fight for their rights and freedoms. They paid a special price for their silence and failure to resist. The government had a "final "solution" worked out for who they didn't want as their residents.
There is a special price to pay for silence and acquiesce in the sleepy town of Atkinson. Corruption run rampant.
In Egypt and Libya, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, the people were asleep for 60 years. Now they are willing to stop their lives and businesses and stand up against corrupt government, lying politicians, malfesience, nepotism, thuggery, illegal arrests, special favors for friends and families. Not to mention stand up for just Democracy and justice under just laws.
These citizens put their lives at risk and were willing to be shot and killed. That's what it took and they are heroes for standing up to the bullets. We will never forget their sacrifice.
Daily, more Atkinson citizens wake up and say, "I can't afford not to pay attention to what is going on on in my town anymore!" It may take another year or so before enough wake up and say... "I am not going to allow my government to do these things because it puts me, personally, in harms way."
There is a final solution to the wrongs in town.
The final solution is.... you put yourself.... AT RISK.... to stop it!
Either that or live repressed for decades more and stick your head in the sand and ignore whatever burden or injustice is inflicted on you or your family or your neighbor's land.
--Just my completely distorted opinion. No truth here. A pack of false lies and suppositions and opinions. I withdraw the above comments entire as they are a completely false representation of events that may have occured or workings of Atkinson town government...a completely false fabrication and opinion.

The significance of losing Lt. Baldwin can't be understated in terms of impact to the empire built in our PD. Its obviously a great move for Baldwin to get out of the worst managed PD in the state and get into a real PD department with the chance of moving up in the real world and leaving the Atkinson baggage behind.
The big CON lost a major player in the key to his kingdom. Baldwin was his only connection to the working families in Atkinson, many who liked Bill. Now they're mad at our incompetent chief who caused him to leave. He can try to blame the selectmen but I've yet to hear anyone say it was the BOS fault. We all know who caused Bill to leave. Plus Phil will have to do real work instead of politicking on a full time basis. That's funny.
Billy, good luck. Smart move getting out. You're sooooooo much better off it can't be measured. Pull handle, FLUSH!

I can agree that Baldwin is making a good move. However, what about the members of the Plaistow police who have worked there and hard as I'm told. This move has cost them dearly in the promotion process. They should have gotten the opportunity to be promoted to a higher rank. I'm all for promoting from within before going out side to find another choice of filling a spot. I'm not against Baldwin trying to further himself but what about those within the Plaistow P.D. This seems to me as a slap in their faces and the Baldwin transfer could be thought as a form of politics payment to Baldwin. The dissension is going to be over whelming by the over looked police members of that department . What with the Baldwin move why didn't he tell the selectmen why he truly wanted the move ? If he did then ,just maybe, the selectmen would have made the choice of forced retirement or firing the chief for his many misdeeds. That would have given Baldwin the job of chief . There is no doubt that he can do the job and a hell of better than the Conman. JMHO

You may be right ,however, it is to bad he never appeared to be in the public eye with the selectmen to explain why he wanted to leave. Unless ,of course, he knowingly took the orders of the chief knowing the wrongfulness that would implicate him in them. His explaining that in a court of law would be considered as self implication. A deal could be made if this be true and finally the Conman would be gone if the selectmen did their job before the courts could theirs. jmHo large H to be as it represents humble.

Don't worry, he'll work his MAGIC to twist the issue his way. Just wait and see if I'm correct. He'll tell what the Selectmen, Lions Club, and the Elderly what to say...........no doubt.

Premier League GW7 Review
Another exciting weekend of Premier League football was brought to a close at St James' Park on Sunday, and the league now take a two-week break for International football. Wins for both Manchester clubs again take the headlines, while Everton were eye-catchers for the wrong reasons in GW7. Infogol's Analyst reviews the action, using expected goals (xG) to assess whether results were a fair reflection on a team's performance.
Everton were surprisingly beaten by Burnley at home in GW7, though they were very unfortunate to do so as Burnley created very few chances. Other than Jeff Hendrick's goal, Burnley threatened very little, and once they went a goal up, they sat in and defended very well – impressing with how they limited Everton to just low-probability chances. Though Everton weren't deserving of the win themselves, a defeat was a harsh result.
Liverpool were also unfortunate against Newcastle, being held to a 1-1 draw. The Reds once again generated a lot of good chances, as they have in every game this season, but failed to take them as has been the pattern in recent games. Newcastle's goal was also fortuitous, but it means Liverpool are seven points off the top of the table and with just one win seven matches in all competitions, the pressure is mounting on Jurgen Klopp.
Manchester City won the big game at The Bridge, beating Chelsea 1-0 thanks to a stunning goal from Kevin de Bruyne. They were impressive throughout and created the better of the chances, though Chelsea suffered an early blow with Alvaro Morata going off injured - he will be a big miss in their next few games.
Bournemouth and Leicester drew 0-0 on the South Coast, a game in which the home team generated the better of the chances. Spurs thumped Huddersfield 4-0, with Harry Kane scoring another brace, though they were fortunate to hit the net that many times from the quality of chances they created.
West Brom conceded a late equaliser at home to Watford in a 2-2 draw in which both teams created good chances, West Ham edged out Swansea with a late goal in a deserved win, while Crystal Palace's torrid run continued with a heavy defeat to Manchester United – United once again generating a host of chances.
Arsenal and Stoke both registered deserved home wins, but with varying degrees of difficulty. Arsenal coasted to a 2-0 win over Brighton, while Stoke needed a late Peter Crouch winner to edge out Southampton 2-1.
GW8 Team to Back – Arsenal
Watford have been fortunate in recent weeks to get as many points as they have, whereas Arsenal have been impressive since their 4-0 defeat at Liverpool in late-August. The two London clubs face each other in GW8, and Arsenal look good value to get the win at a price of 8/13.

(Sounding like Jedi…yeah)
I should include a scrolling graphic text of what happened in the previous episode of my car buying adventure but it's probably the last post as I am the epitome of slacker when it comes to blogging. I actually brag about my blog in my creative writing class ( I know I'm lame like that)
So the saga continued….
I loved that car. I really really loved that car. I never quite had a car that I just loved that was sporty and had the fun bells and whistles. I always settled with what was practical the mom mobile. I'm sure I mentioned that before. I'm also sure my mid life crises is coming around and dang it just let me have a fun car with excellent gas mileage ok? Just this once.
The finance guy called my hubby earlier this week that our bank wouldnt finance us past a certain amount. That certain amount of course was more than the car. So they got us financed through a different lender at a much higher rate and monthly payment. This was unacceptable. I will love a car as much as the next guy, but I refuse to feel sick every month we make a payment. The hubs and I decided to find something else I really loved that was somewhat used and a much better price. We also did some research and hybrids really weren't meant for mainly highway miles, which is all I basically drive 5 days a week.
My quest began Friday and Saturday for a vehicle I loved as much as my Sweetie. I tried to tell myself that I could settle for less bells and whistles. I drove more cars in the past 2 days than I have in a lifetime. Maybe not..but it was a lot.
Ford Focus was nice but it did nothing for me. It drove nice and had a few bells and whistles but just didn't have that sporty look I was going for.
Chevy Cruze -also a nice drive, again no bells and whistles and no sporty look.
My husband was beginning to doubt that I would find anything up to par with Sweetie.
Do you know how fun it is to drive up to a dealership in a brand newish car -temp tag on and say your looking for a car similar to this one? The looks you get. Of course then you have to go through the whole story over and over again. Fun Times.
I drove a few cars that I can't even remember what they were . Obviously they didn't leave a lasting impression.
By mid day Saturday I had probably driven 6 cars and nothing was even on the list of possibilities. I never in my life have stood up someone on a date, but I stood up many a dealers yesterday -claiming we would be back. We even had dealers claiming they would drop the car off for us and get our trade in back so we could sign the deal with their car. Uhm no that's ok.
We finally hit the Nissan place before determining it was time to go back to our dealer. I found an Altima that finally stood out from the others and was the right price. It didn't have all the bells and whistles I wanted but I really liked it. The hubs was shocked I found one that made the list. We told them we would be back….ahem.
When we drove into our dealer, we drove up and down that car lot as the hubs knew I probably would only settle for a Sonata that was the right price. In other words a non hybrid that had the same stuff I had. Surely it would be in price range. We started out in new cars which was a mistake. Back to certified/used cars it was. I actually found an Altima there as well that didn't quite have the bells and whistles I wanted. I was determined that I could still find something that had what I wanted at the right price. The Altima was nice but I just couldn't do it. The hubs knew that. He told me to wait outside for whatever reason and he would be back to talk to our guy.
There was still one more car that I really wanted to test drive and that was the Elantra. I knew it was a little smaller than the Sonata but it had pretty much everything I wanted and was the right price. I kept staring at it while I was waiting, wondering what my sneaky husband was up to. I finally went inside and he was just sitting waiting on the finance guy. He said he decided that there wasn't any car out there that had everything I wanted and that we were just going to go ahead and settle with Sweetie, the finance guy was getting the paper work ready to sign. Ahem does he not realize I also have to sign this? Needless to say we started to cause a scene (not really but maybe) that I didn't want to sign that.
I love that my hubs may not shower me with flowers and gifts all the time, but when he knows I really want the moon he will do what needs to be done to get me the moon. Despite my angst and denials that I don't need the moon to be happy, he's going to try and get me the moon. He was seriously going to figure out a way to work it out for me to have my car.
I kept telling him there is one more car…just let me test this one more car. He absolutely would not budge on letting me test the Elantra. If we weren't sitting literally right next to the office where the keys were kept and our sales guy wasn't passing us by hearing our conversation' we probably would have driven Sweetie home and settled for the high payment. I stood my ground though and finally told the sales guy please just let me try one more.
I just want to say one thing about our sales guy. He's a down to earth guy that never once made me feel like I had to always go with the first car I tested. The other vultures I have dealt with in the past two days have made me feel like this is it there is nothing else. He also admitted to us that he isn't getting much as far as commission from our deal. Did he make me feel bad about that? Not in the least.
He gave me the keys to that Elantra, I got inside and was completely de- stressed of all anxiety. It had the bells and whistles I wanted, minus one feature -the back up camera but that's ok. I knew that Elantra was the one when I first saw it on my walk through of the lot. It may not have been the blue I wanted but I was ok with that.
We signed the paperwork and we are happy with the payments end of story.
As my middle son stated…it's like your car regenerated. I couldn't have said it better myself. It's older yet younger, kind of like the doctor. I'm thinking he's more of a Rory. (We watch too much Doctor Who don't we?)
You probably couldn't even really tell the difference other than color if you didn't know better.
A little determination, perseverance and digging and I got what I want. I don't even feel like I settled for second best. I settled for the best based on the situation.

♥ Best Exfoliating Tip Ever!
The name of the game is to moisturize. Million Dollar Tan reacts with the outer layer of the skin to permanently color it. Your tan only comes off when your skin naturally exfoliates. So the only way for it to come off unevenly is if your skin exfoliates unevenly. You can prevent this by keeping your skin well moisturized. Twice a day is ideal. My favorite hydrating lotion is Aveeno. Gentle on the skin (and tan!) but super hydrating.
There will always be times when your skin gets dry and you need to scrub off your old tan before your next tanning session. Let me tell you the best way to do this... you'll LOVE it!
Take a nice hot shower. No need to scrub in the shower. Get out and immediately use Aveeno lotion to moisturize. Then using your damp towel, rub any areas where the tan is uneven. It comes right off! And it's not uncomfortable like exfoliating in the shower can be. Make sure you reapply a light layer of lotion to the areas of skin where you rubbed the tan off. It will keep it nice and hydrated and ready for a fresh tan.
Important note! Since MDT formulas are super high quality, you can't scrub your tan off before it is ready to come off. You wouldn't want to use this method 2 or 3 days after your tanning session because your tan is too new. Just use this method when your tan is starting to fade but you have a few stubborn areas that didn't exfoliate the same way.
Often times you won't have to exfoliate in between tanning sessions. You can let your tan naturally fade and spray or lotion again. It's not essential to exfoliate every time. I exfoliate or not based on how even my tan faded.
If you are in the business of spray tanning, make sure to share helpful tips like this with your guests. It will keep them loving their Million Dollar Tan and coming in once a week for their tanning session.
Off to a day of spray tanning training... let me know if you have any questions!

Design & Development
This interactive art installation explores the merging of music and technology in live performances and events. We partnered with the legendary Delicious Vinyl record label to build the installation in their Infinity Room gallery space in Los Angeles. In two separate rooms we created uniquely different experiences.
The main feature was a room-sized electronic instrument visually inspired by the aesthetic of a suspension bridge. Visitors played by plucking eight giant strings linked to music samples created by incite artist school along with music from Delicious Vinyl's artist collection. We custom-built two giant bass tubes and a chandelier, covered in reflective material that ran the length of the gallery space. As the instrument was played, music samples were triggered along with projected lights that created colorful shadows along the walls, giving the experience a retro sci-fi feel.
The second space was a room of reflection, with red, green, and blue spot lights shining into a giant pool of water reverberating from ultrasonic frequencies and ambient soundscapes. The lights bounced off the pulsating water, creating tessellations and beautiful patterns reflected onto the walls.
Over the course of three weeks the installation had hundreds of visitors, enjoyed by children and musicians alike. Constructed from basic elements and materials, the gallery space transformed into an immersive experience of light and sound.

The pitch/pitch control, located at the rotor blade root, is an essential wind turbine component. To control efficiency and to aerodynamically decelerate rotor blades, pitch control adjusts the blade angles to the wind magnitude at speeds up to 200 km/h. Components such as pitch bearing or yaw gear have to withstand high forces and loads. Low temperatures, micro-vibrations, centrifugal forces as well as changing static and dynamic stresses are only a few factors that can cause, without the proper lubrication, high wear and component failure within a short period. Due to optimum lubrication properties and application-fitted additives LUBCON lubricants achieve long component service life as well as safe and reliable pitch control.
Pitch Control
|Pitch bearings
Turmogrease SLF 4001
Vibration absorbing, well adherent lithium/calcium special soap grease with semi-synthetic base oil and a customised additive package. The particularly load absorbing special grease for pitch and yaw bearing lubrication in wind turbines withstands varying temperatures and climate conditions, protects against wear even at extreme high loads and oscillating movements and prevents false brinelling (fretting corrosion).
|Pitch/Yaw gear
Grizzlygrease No. 1
Outstandingly water, media and temperature-resistant, mineral oil based, lithium/calcium complex soap grease with extreme high load carrying capacity, particularly at low speeds and oscillating movements. The mechanically and chemically resistant grease for open gear lubrication absorbs vibrations, shock loads and features high wear and tribo-corrosion protection. It is very adhesive and adheres to metal surfaces even at high centrifugal forces.
|Pitch/Yaw drive
Turmogearfluid WKA
Especially developed long-life lubricant for the gear motor lubrication in wind turbines. The oxidation-resistant oil features good wetting properties, keeps its dynamic viscosity even at high shear loads and protects against wear, corrosion and deposit formations.

Tyra Banks testifies at trial of accused stalker
TV host and ex-supermodel Tyra Banks faced her accused stalker in a New York court on Wednesday, saying she fears for her safety since the man allegedly threatened her assistant and contacted her show. Brady Green, 39, was arrested in March after prosecutors say he appeared twice at the Manhattan studio where "The Tyra Banks Show," a daytime talk show, is filmed. Green is accused of repeatedly contacting the show, sending Banks flowers with the note "When I see you, I love you," and threatening to slit the throat of her assistant. "I don't fear, like, my life," Banks, 35, told a judge at New York State Supreme Court. "I fear my safety … . I feel very vulnerable. I don't know what could happen." (Continue Reading…)
Chris Brown's Lawyer to Attempt to Dismiss Assault Case
As the waiting game continues in the Rihanna assault case, the singer can now at least return the on-loan jewelry she was wearing the night she was allegedly beaten by Chris Brown. At the request of Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, L.A. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg granted a delay in the case, with the next hearing set for May 28. Brown, 19, who has pleaded not guilty, did not attend the hearing. He was not required to show. Geragos indicated at court Wednesday that he intends to file a motion to dismiss the case because of police leaks in the investigation, apparently a reference to Rihanna's injury photo that surfaced on the Internet, among other details.

U.S. swine flu cases grow to 91, including child who died
number of confirmed swine flu cases in the United States has risen to 91 and is spread across 10 states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday. One of those cases was fatal, but the majority are not severe, said Dr. Richard Besser, acting CDC chief. Five patients have been hospitalized, including the 22-month-old child who died Monday in Texas, he said. The toddler was a Mexican citizen who had gone to Houston, Texas, for treatment, said Kathy Barton, a spokeswoman for the Houston Department of Health and Human Services. (Continue Reading…)

Audi A4 DTM again makes a good impression
Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline and Audi Sport Infineon Team have just completed a hard week: The two Audi factory teams travelled from the DTM presentation in Hamburg, which attracted 22,000 spectators on Tuesday, directly to the official DTM test at Brno in the Czech Republic. The Audi A4 DTM again made a good impression during the final test days before the season opener. The Audi drivers reeled off approximately 5,000 problem free test kilometres between Thursday and Sunday. The six A4 DTM race cars will now be prepared at Audi Sport in Ingolstadt for the race debut on 18 April at Hockenheim.
Audi R8 with modified aerodynamics
Audi will unveil modified aerodynamics for the Audi R8 on Tuesday during the official Le Mans Endurance Series (LMES) test days. Whilst the previous year's regulations are valid in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), a narrower rear wing is mandatory at Le Mans and in the 2004 LMES. Audi reworked the R8 in the wind tunnel and has made a new aerodynamic configuration available to its customer teams that retrieves some of the downforce initially lost as a result of the change.
Successful test on the Nordschleife
24h Nurburgring: Infineon Team Abt Sportsline collected more experience for the 24 Hour race in June during the opening round of the BF Goodrich Endurance Championship held on the Nurburgring-Nordschleife. The Abt-Audi TT-R of Patrick Huisman, Frank Stippler and Karl Wendlinger completed the three and a half hour race without technical problems. A puncture however, which unfortunately afflicted Frank Stippler at the entry to the 20 kilometre Nordschleife, dropped the trio back down the running order and prevented a top finishing position.
"Swedish" Audi A4 in new outfit

Business is not all fun and games. If you are running your own business, you absolutely must have a thick skin. Being easily hurt or upset isn't going to get you anywhere.
Imagine for a moment you holding a home party. As the guests are looking at catalogs, one says "Look at this lamp, it's so UGLY!". You note which one they are looking at, and realize you have one just like it in your own home.
You have two options here. Either you get rude right back at her, or you offer to help her find something more her taste. While the second option is obviously the better way to go, sometimes we tend to react on instincts first.
The same is true while networking and being active in business communities online. While these places shouldn't be the main source of customers, know you WILL sell to other business owners. If you react rude to another WAHM, you are going to lose sales pretty fast. Not only are you going to lose out on a possible sale from the person you offended, but also others reading it too.
Customers and business owners are going to have opinions. No matter if it's on your website, your products, or your method of marketing. Some comments may be constructive critisism, others may be down right rude. Regardless, fighting back is NEVER going to look good on your part.
Granted there are always going to be those who will never buy, but that still doesn't mean you should be rude back to them. Word travels regardless of who they are, and your business is going to be hurt. Always keep in mind that bad news travels at least twice as fast as good news.
Bottom line - the next time you feel someone is being rude, grit your teeth and smile. Getting down to their level never helps. Besides, don't forget, you never know who's watching. You're a business owner and your reputation is on the line.

According to Madrigal, the No.40 is not as good as the
No.32 as a preamp. You do however get a lot of more
functionality than from a pure preamp.
No.32 as a preamp. You do however get a lot of more
functionality than from a pure preamp.
Is it worth keeping a Levenson no.32, no360s when
The No32 is a no holds barred pre-amp. As the 40 is the same for a processor. However, I think it's impossible to have all the digital circuitry necessary in the 40 without compromising it's ability as a pre-amp. Keep in mind, when I say compromise, it's really only against a reference component. While I have not been able to compare the two side by side I don't think there's any way the 32 would not best the 40 for a pre only comparison. What would really be interesting is to see on a scale how the 32 vs 40 vs 380s stacked up. We know the 32 is well above the 380s, now where is the 40 relative to the 2 would be very intersting.
OK I got my 33h mono blocks today, when i got the 32, it buried the 380s Period! now i am a/b'ing the no40 with a sony dvp9000es as a transport against the 32/360s/37 combo. I am using valhalla through out. So far my findings that the no.40 and sony dvp9000es as a transport, sounds WAY better! I find this really hard to belive, but the diffrence is drastic! i am going to switch things around so I can use the 37 as a transport with the 40... this should be a better match. If anybody around the Long Island area, and would like to lend me thier ears, I would appreciate an email. I have a strong feeling that Levinson created a Beast, but does not want to admit it. for fear in hurting the no32. keep in mind, the no40 is quite a few years ahead in technology than the 32...................
My findings with the no37 and the dvp9000es used as a transport, is the sony tracks way better on disk that have scratches, the sony totaly ignores them and plays without missing anything, the 37 skipped heavily ending a song in 15 seconds while the sony played the entire track. ( go figure?) the 37 had a little edge over sound quality over the sony. Is it worth having a 37? IMO. No! If anybdy has some feedback on this issue please reply!

Red Hat: More Turnover and Profit Thanks to Linux
Linux distributor Red Hat has reported increased turnover and profits in its interim report for the second quarter. The company mainly owes these promising figures to its Linux business.
The second quarter 2008 ended August 31, 2007 for Red Hat, whose business year ends February 29, 2008. Red Hat reported a turnover of US$ 127.3 in the second quarter, which is equivalent to a 28 percent increase compared to last year's figures, and seven percent up on the first quarter of 2008. Red Hat mainly owes its success to sales of software subscriptions of its enterprise Linux variant. Turnover of Red Hat Enterprise Linux totaled US$ 109.2 m, which is 29 percent up on the previous year's figures of US$ 84.9 m, and six percent up on the previous quarter. Net profits rose by 64 percent to US$ 18.2 m, compared with US$ 11 m in 2006. On a per share basis this means a dividend of US$ 0.09 compared with US$ 0.05 last year. Red Hat points to the more than 3000 applications that are now certified on the Red Hat platform.
Charlie Peters, Red Hat's Chief Financial Officer was also pleased with the development of operative profits and cash flow. "We continue to deliver strong operating profitability and cash flow". Peters sees the demand for Open Source solutions continuing to grow, and sees the need to invest in infrastructure in the interest of Red Hat's shareholders.
Parallel to the interim report, Peters had two personnel announcements to make. The previous head of the Red Hat Financial Division, Mark Cook, is being promoted to Vice President Finance and Controller; Paul Argiry will be taking over the position as Vice President and Treasurer. Cook joined Red Hat in 2004; Argiry's last position was as the Chief Financial Officer with Californian electronics corp., Jabil Circuit.
This is the third change to Red Hat's executive team in just a few days, with marketing boss Tim Yeaton having been replaced by Michael Chen. At the beginning of the week, Red Hat's shares had been downgraded from "outperforming" to "neutral" due to organizational and structural issues that started with the acquisition of middleware vendor Jboss.

Jan 17th layout of the day
My dad always had boots around the house and my sister and I when we would fight would chase each other around the house with his boots acting like we were going to hit each other with them. Ya I know not real nice but we were kids. Oh ya we would not do it if dad was home. Big trouble that way! So, after my dad died for Christmas that year we pulled out his boots and put him on and remembered what we used to do to each other as kids. Boy do I wish we would have kept them but we donated them. Good memories!

Decided: March 5, 1979.
CHICK'S AUTO BODY, A SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP, SALUGA & SONS BODY SHOP, A SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP, SCHAFF'S CARS, INC., A NEW JERSEY CORPORATION, AND SOUTH JERSEY AUTO REBUILDERS ASSOCIATION, PLAINTIFFS,v.STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA, AETNA LIFE & CASUALTY, GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES INSURANCE COMPANY, ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY, KEYSTONE INSURANCE COMPANY AND OHIO CASUALTY COMPANY, DEFENDANTS
Deighan, J.s.c.
[168 NJSuper Page 72]
The New Jersey Antitrust Act (N.J.S.A. 56:9-1 et seq.) seeks "To promote * * * growth of commerce and industry * * * by prohibiting restraints of trade * * * through monopolistic practices and which act to decrease competition * * *." Plaintiffs body repair shops invoke the act to decrease competition by compelling defendant insurance companies to pay a higher rate for their repair services than defendants pay to plaintiffs competitors. If successful, the end result would increase the ever-spiralling insurance rates.
After extensive depositions each defendant has moved to dismiss the complaint or, in the alternative, for summary judgment based upon an exemption in the Antitrust Act for, "The activities * * * of any insurer * * * to the extent that such activities are subject to regulation by the Commissioner of Insurance of this State, or are permitted or are authorized by, the Department of Banking and Insurance Act of 1948 (C. [§ ] 17:1-1 et seq. and the Department of Insurance Act of 1970 (C. [§ ] 17:1C-1 et seq. (N.J.S.A. 56:9-5(b)(4))."
[168 NJSuper Page 73]
Plaintiffs admit that plaintiff Association, as a nonprofit Association, has no standing to sue and may not do so on behalf of its members. New Jersey Optometric Ass'n v. Hillman-Kohran , 144 N.J. Super. 411, 428 (Ch. Div. 1976) (affirmed) 160 N.J. Super. 81 (App. Div. 1978).
The three-count complaint charges the participation of defendant automobile insurance companies with (1) "an intentional and organized scheme of fixing prices for repair work throughout the southern New Jersey area". (2) "a practice of boycotting * * * automobile repair shops which did not adhere to the aforedescribed scheme of price fixing" and; (3) "a conspiracy to fix prices," all in violation of the New Jersey Antitrust Act, N.J.S.A. 56:9-1 et seq.
Plaintiff auto body shops estimate and perform repair work on damaged automobiles. A portion of this work includes estimates for repairs to automobiles damaged in accidents, as a result of which the owner is entitled, under his automobile insurance policy, to reimbursement for the damage from his automobile insurance carrier. Defendant insurance carriers adjust automobile damage claims under automobile insurance policies written by them in New Jersey.
Plaintiffs allege that defendants fix the prices which plaintiffs charge for repair to damaged automobiles covered by policies of insurance issued by various defendants. In addition, plaintiffs assert that defendants boycott plaintiff auto body shops if they do not meet prices fixed by defendants, and that defendants conspire to fix prices.
From an affidavit submitted by Insurance Company of North America, payment of automobile physical damage claims comprises the largest single cost element in its premium structure for physical damage coverage within the State of New Jersey. In 1976, payments of automobile physical damage claims in New Jersey represented approximately 60% of the total earned premiums allocable to automobile physical damage coverage within the State of New Jersey.
[168 NJSuper Page 74]
The affidavit establishes that this cost component has a direct impact upon the premium levels charged for automobile insurance. The repair costs must be actuarially analyzed in order to determine and project future premium rates to cover anticipated costs and earn a reasonable return. As such, the cost of repairs to damaged automobiles represents a vital and integral factor in the rate-making structure. There is, therefore, a direct relationship between payments made by defendant insurance companies to settle automobile physical damage claims and the premium rate structure for automobile physical damage insurance. Premium rates for automobile physical damage insurance are filed with and subject to regulation by the New Jersey Commissioner of Insurance. The facts as to relationship between repair costs and premiums have been also judicially recognized. Travelers Ins. Co. v. Blue Cross of Western Pennsylvania , 361 F. Supp. 774 (W.D. Pa. 1972), aff'd 481 F.2d 80 (3 Cir. 1973), cert. den. 414 U.S. 1093, 94 S. Ct. 724, 38 L. Ed. 2d 550 (1973); Frankford Hospital v. Blue Cross of Greater Philadelphia , 417 F. Supp. 1104 (E.D. Pa. 1976); Manasen v. California Dental Services , 424 F. Supp. 657 (N.D. Cal. 1976); California League of Indep. Ins. Producers v. Aetna Cas. & Sur. Co. , 175 F. Supp. 857 (N.D. Cal. 1959); Proctor v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. , 182 U.S. App. D.C. 264, 270, 561 F.2d 262, 268 (1977).
After a damaged motor vehicle is taken to an automobile repair shop, an insurance adjuster inspects the vehicle, prepares an estimate which the insurance company will pay to repair the vehicle and negotiates a price with the body shop. Three elements are used in arriving at the "bottom line" cost estimate: (1) parts to be replaced, (2) time to replace parts and (3) hourly labor rate for repair. Plaintiffs admit that insurance adjusters negotiate the first two elements of the cost formula in good faith, but complain that they refuse to pay more than the prevailing competitive hourly labor charges. They further object to a maximum hourly labor rate which each defendant will pay to a repair body shop for auto
[168 NJSuper Page 75]
body repairs. Although they acknowledge that any difference between the hourly labor rate charged by the shop and that paid by the insurance company can be billed to and collected from the automobile owner, they contend that the insurance company should pay their hourly rates even if a competitor shop, using generally accepted standards, properly repairs the damaged vehicle at the hourly labor rate which the insurer was willing to pay.
Despite the gravamen of their objection, plaintiffs admit that they receive an hourly service charge in excess of that fixed by the adjuster because (1) they receive a discount on replacement automobile parts and, in addition, (2) they routinely complete repairs in less time than assigned to the adjuster. In every instance plaintiff repair shops consider the "bottom line" dollar amount in deciding whether to take a job at the estimate repair allowance. If they estimate that completion of the repairs will result in a loss, the job will not be accepted.
The substance of plaintiffs' allegations are that defendants, in adjusting these loss claims, determine the estimated repair costs with the view toward having the necessary repairs performed at the least expensive prices. Plaintiffs complain because they are unwilling to perform repairs as cheaply as other repair shops. Actually, they complain that the "fixed price" is too low and should be higher. In effect, plaintiffs seek to force the insurance companies to increase their service rates, and, in turn, the automobile owners insurance premiums.
The purpose of the insurance exemption under N.J.S.A. 56:9-5(b)(4) has been described as "designed to avoid the situation whereby a state regulatory agency acting pursuant to one statute (the insurance laws) requires conduct which might be held to violate another statute (the Anti-Trust Act)." Borland v. Bayonne Hosp. , 122 N.J. Super. 387, 406 (Ch. Div. 1973), aff'd 136 N.J. Super. 60 (App. Div. 1975), aff'd 72 N.J. 152 (1977), cert. den. 434 U.S. 817, 98 S. Ct. 56, 54 L. Ed. 2d 73 (1978).
[168 NJSuper Page 76]
The qualifying words of the statute are "subject to regulation by the Commissioner of Insurance." See, generally, the cases decided under the McCarran Ferguson Act, 15 U.S.C.A. § 1011 et seq.; FTC v. National Cas. Co. , 357 U.S. 560, 78 S. Ct. 1260, 2 L. Ed. 2d 1540 (1958); Ohio AFL-CIO v. Insurance Rating Bd. , 451 F.2d 1178 (6 Cir. 1971), cert. den. 409 U.S. 917, 93 S. Ct. 215, 34 L. Ed. 2d 180 (1972); Seasongood v. K & K Insurance Agency , 548 F.2d 729 (8 Cir. 1977). The requirement of state regulation to qualify for exemption is abundantly satisfied. The activities alleged in the complaint are regulated by the Commissioner of Insurance in at least three ways, i.e. , (1) regulation of the claims adjustment activities of the defendants, (2) regulation of auto damage insurance rates and (3) regulation of unfair and anticompetitive trade practices of insurance companies.
Regulation of the Claims Adjustment Activities of Insurance Companies
By virtue of authority conferred by N.J.S.A. 17:1-8.1 and N.J.S.A. 17:29B-1 et seq. , the Commissioner of Insurance adopted an expansive automobile physical damage claims procedure effective May 1, 1976. N.J.A.C. 11:3-10.1 et seq. Pursuant to the regulations, a loss adjustment mechanism was established which delineates the required method for resolving all physical damage claims.
In the case of a partial loss an insurer must inspect or cause to be inspected a damaged vehicle within seven working days following receipt of notice. It must commence negotiation and make an offer of settlement within the same period. N.J.A.C. 11:3-10.3(a). These comprehensive regulations define an "agreed price" and the "reasonable cost to repair the damages to the motor vehicle." N.J.A.C. 11:3-10.2. All obligations of the insurer are then stated in terms of the "agreed price" and "reasonable cost." The insurer is not obligated to assume the cost regardless of the reasonableness
[168 NJSuper Page 77]
thereof. The insurer's decision as to what is a reasonable labor rate is well within the scope of the regulations. Plaintiffs would deny defendants their right, as granted by the regulations, to become actively involved in the process of claims adjusting and to figure their own estimate of the necessary repairs.
The regulations assure the insured the choice of repairer. However, if the insured has no preference as to a repair facility, or if the insured asks the insurer for a recommendation, the insurer "must recommend a qualified repairer who will repair the damaged vehicle at the insurer's estimated cost of repairs." N.J.A.C. 11:3-10:3(d). The insurer must not only recommend a shop, but guarantee its work as well. N.J.A.C. 11:3-10:3(g). Consequently, knowledge of the prices a shop charges, the quality of work it performs, or the guarantee a shop provides, is essential if the insurer itself must guarantee the work of a shop it recommends.
The regulations require that the repairs be made in accordance "with generally accepted standards for safe and proper repairs." N.J.A.C. 11:3-10:3(f, g). If, as plaintiffs contend, defendants authorize incomplete or shoddy repairs such a complaint is properly made to the Commissioner of Insurance.
The complaint of plaintiffs is failure of the defendants to negotiate. Even this is regulated by the Department because all negotiations are required to be conducted in "good faith." N.J.A.C. 11:3-10:3(b). It is further required that the insurer make "all reasonable efforts to obtain an agreed price" with the shop of the customer's choice. N.J.A.C. 11:3-10:3(d). The negotiations must center on the "agreed price," i.e. , the "reasonable cost" of repairs, not the particular hourly rates of the plaintiffs. In furtherance of that policy, if an insurer inspects the damaged vehicle, it must furnish to its insured a ...

Facing eviction, Pelissier garage tenants scramble to find new spots
Bob Williams spent much of Tuesday looking at commercial rental property downtown — and feeling stressed.
As the executive director of the Windsor Pride Community Education and Resource Centre, Williams would rather spend time fundraising and helping clients, but he has little choice.
City council decided Monday to give tenants of the city-owned Pelissier Street parking garage a 30-day extension till the end of June before they are evicted. Windsor Pride Community had sought six extra months, allowing them till the end of the year to find new space.
"It's a poor decision," said Williams. "I understand the business equation. Well, fine and dandy. But to put us to the curb in such a short period of time is not right."
Tenants of the Pelissier Street parking garage received six-month eviction notices late last year saying they must be out by the end of May, after council decided in a controversial split vote to revert underused main-floor retail space into more parking spots.
Tenants nevertheless hoped a reprieve would come, given that Windsor entrepreneur Mark Boscariol and two other investors made a pitch to buy the garage, keeping retail and adding a rooftop event space. But dead set on removing retail, council refused to even consider the offer.
"I am certainly not very happy," said Williams, adding that suitable accessible space is hard to find in downtown Windsor. "The city doesn't even have a contractor in place. We need our councillors to get behind us and make sure this is a safe and healthy and prosperous community."
Despite scrambling to find new digs Tuesday, Williams felt thankful for one thing: community support that has come in for Windsor Pride. Besides well wishes, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union offered $1,000 to help with moving. As well, he fielded a call from Unifor Local 444 wanting to help.
Williams is not the only tenant who considers council's move unwise — and unfair.
"I don't feel very good," Youssef Gereige, owner of the Youssef Hair Boutique which has been downtown for 27 years, said after Monday's vote. "We don't have a place to go. Pretty well, they're putting us on the street.
"I don't know what we're going to do."
Gereige, who has put more than $50,000 into renovating his salon and who employs 10 people, said he doesn't want to leave downtown but that he may have no choice.
Larry Horwitz, chair of the Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association, thinks Mayor Drew Dilkens and some councillors are not thinking about the best interests of downtown by ripping out retail.
"It baffles me to watch the politics going on here," Horwitz said. "Two businesses who are working hard and putting in all their sweat and their time and their energy into being downtown, and are now being thrown out of downtown."
Horwitz hopes residents will let councillors know they want more retail, not more parking, downtown.
"We have to stand up," he said. "We have to call our councillors who voted against this and say this is not fair, this is not right, this is stupid. And it makes me angry."

Rebound Partnership AdviceBreaking up is 1 of the hardest issues to do, but after you do this, you may determine that you want your ex back again. Attempting to get back together with your ex can be even tougher than breaking up with them was. If you are attempting to get on the right path to getting a 2nd chance with our ex, you require the "five steps to get back together with your ex with out a war.
Being determined and argumentative - disagreeing with her decision to break it off with you is a fantastic way to not get her back. Girls are not drawn or captivated to men who act in desperation, correct?
You know that placing stress on her isn't heading to work because you can't power her into becoming with you again. She has to want to be there, of her personal free will.
If you invest too much time trying to make males pass the exams you find in publications, that they are not even aware they are using, they will fail. One guide tells you, that if he is as well attentive, he wants to manage you. An additional guide tells you that a guy not being attentive sufficient is just not into you. So which one is it?
Teens don't know the maturity of a link and they think that their attraction is their adore and if they failed to get their friendliness then their life lead to melancholy. On the other hand if they get their passion, they don't know how to treat them. In this situation, what's bad to take some dating tips?
For some people and perhaps this is you, they frequently really feel as although the break up was so bad and so permanent that they have no chance of getting back again together. But with the correct confirmed techniques and successful game plan it can work and has worked for many loving partners.
Don't here leap back into the dating game. You might really feel at free finishes, and you may want to be with someone. You may meet a guy who appears to be every thing your ex was missing. Place on the brakes now! You need to fully heal before obtaining involved with anybody, even casually. Abusive, or simply poor, associations can consider a heavy toll on a individual and can cloud his or her judgment in the next relationship, especially because many individuals tend to day the same kind more than and more than once more. Take plenty of time to heal thoroughly before dating anyone again.
These are a few of the very best items of guidance to keep in mind if you want your woman happy. Most of these are nothing you could not determine out on your own but men frequently don't do these issues.

Where nature and art meet!
While looking for special rocks on my property, I selected a rock that struck my fancy. As I tugged on this rock, it became obvious that it was not budging. A closer inspection revealed that the rock was being held by a root. I dug the root and rock from the ground and began to realize that the root had grown around the rock. I used a pick and shovel to free it all for a closer inspection at my home. I began to visualize a strange-looking animal that had been smashed by this large rock. It wasn't long till I had created a monster that had no identification with any known animals, but I could see it as something that may have existed millions of years ago.

I am modelling the late transition era in HO with a mine scene in HOn30 for the 'critter' in my avatar. Most of my locomotives are diesels in Canadian Pacific livery made by InterMountain and Kato. I have a few steamers including Bachmann's Hogwarts Express as well as a kitbashed 4-6-0 which will have early Grand Trunk livery and a few other steamers, mostly switchers, which caught my fancy.
I have built several small operating diesel or gas powered switching engines including a powered Mack 15 ton, 15 ton and 25 ton switchers and a few others. I have also scratch built a galloping goose freight engine and a hi-rail utility truck.
I love LED lighting. I have installed working headlights, tail lights and signal lights in many vehicles. I have made several different street lights and yard lights.
I have not been able to start building my layout yet for a variety of family reasons, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel (when my son moves out). I hope to begin construction within a year or two at the most.

the worst thing about it is that you cant use it for anyone but hardy, because hardy literally is the inspiration for the megatron face on it.Delete
makes me wonder how stupid they can be to use this on their WORLD TITLE, i would have understood if it was the tv title or something. this is just ridiculous.
If that's the case, I guess we better prep two years from now when Jeff Hardy overcomes his habits and wins the big one....again.....for the 400th time. Something's wrong with this picture.Delete
No RVD appearance tonight. X-divsion? Whats that?ReplyDelete

The Hands of Jesus - But Ladylike
These are the hands of some of the precious ladies in our homeschool community here in Nevada. Every month we meet together to laugh and cry, to rejoice, pray, and sympathize with each other. We plan field trips together, we share our new curriculum finds, and we ask each other questions about anything and everything.
I wish everyone had a group of people like this that they could turn to for advice and compassion. If we all did, life might not get so overwhelming. This is what communities should be, and used to be at certain places in the space-time continuum. Some of these mothers have 9, 10, or 11 children of their own, some of them have only one or two. They have had vastly different experiences in their lives, yet all come together without judgement or criticism to lift each other up.
The hands in these pictures have hugged, cooked and cleaned, wiped tears, written poetry, bandaged wounds, carried everything under the sun, and even delivered babies. They can accomplish anything, and they made me believe that I could too. There is no job too big for these hands, because each and every one of them is held firmly in the grip of their Savior. There isn't a women in the group who wouldn't tell you that she survives each day because she has a personal relationship with the Creator of the universe.
I will miss these women and all the support they represent. I will miss their encouragement and laughter, and I will miss them when I am afraid, and want to cry on the shoulder of someone else who knows exactly what I'm talking about. They have made me a stronger and more confident mother, and they have taught me more than I could have imagined.
I love you, ladies. You took me in and made me a member of your families in the space of one meeting, and three years later you are still just as wonderful as you were the first time we said, "Hello."

do you actually know how to edit polys? It could really help you with your work.
yes i know did edit polys
He just doesn't know how to... make more polies i think.
i only know the basics
from the looks of it... not even xD
anyway this is the new gla nukecannon
I like the idea, but the model needs a lot of work.
The turret looks really small compared to the chassis, it looks like it would break off when it fires. Yes it's a game and realism sucks, but part of making a good design is making it "look" believable, and a huge part of making it look believable is making it look balanced.
Another thing the model needs is "depth". For example, the top of the chassis is very flat, you can add more depth by adding more boxes or a raised tapered area for the turret maybe even a couple of headlights. Same with the barrel, instead of using a single cylinder, you can break it up to a few cylinders of different thicknesses (something like this: Moddb.com)
ok i upload another after
okay so i need to expand the turret and modify the barrel and heighten the chassis ok
Also add more detail to the chassis, looks too flat.
Just re-size the Turret, I guess.
I'd prefer the render on an isometric view though.
i think this is not rendered, its a picture taken in w3d viewer with a green background
this will look way more better, when adam watched some tutorial.

That's TOO ******* overpowered. The model looks like garbage anyway.
no its not so shut the **** up stop discriminating my models
discriminating? hes giving you advice!
Well, hes not being very polite about it either lol
I'm not a polite guy, so.
turrets to unskined maybe you should ad some support when the turret rises
make the turret and the hull larger and put the turret on the second circle
that's just two marauders put together + scorpion turret and some over-stretched cannon. Who told you it's a model? :D
if its for Jhuziz add some explosions on the flat. btw the cannon must be like an artillery

On Monday 22nd May, my hometown of Manchester, United Kingdom, was shattered by a bombing which has claimed the lives of 22 people. I am not using my blog to make a demonstration, to sit and point blame. The way my beloved city came together, so many came out to help, no matter their creed, colour, sexuality or religion. It made me so proud of our humanity, whilst we were grieving for young innocent lives lost, the light that came through the clouds was a city that loves each other and proved it. I know people who lost someone, sadly someone I work with lost a family member and I knew people who were injured. So, I made this post. It is not over the top, it is my quiet reflection on my beautiful hometown, which will only get stronger.
