What's in Episode #2?
In this episode of Know Your Food with Wardee, I visit with Joseph Bray from Wholesome Family Farm. Joe, with his wife and almost eight children, runs a raw dairy herdshare farm in Cottage Grove, Oregon*. He shares how he got into dairy farming, the benefits and risks with raising raw dairy, how he runs the twice daily milking of nine Jersey cows, and how he keeps the milk clean and fresh.
In this podcast, I mentioned an article on raw milk that features Joe's farm and family — here's a link to that article. The article — The Raw Truth About Raw Milk — is good and balanced and well worth reading!
Be sure to visit Joe's farm website and like their page on Facebook, too.
*Update: since recording this podcast, Joe shared some very good news. He found a larger property and is moving his herdshare off the 6-acre farm (plus additional leased land) in Cottage Grove to a 67-acre farm in Creswell, Oregon. 🙂 We're really happy for him, his family, and their cows!
What's Coming Up…
Today's podcast is actually Part 1 of 2; Joe and I talked so long and about such good stuff that I had to break it up into two parts!
So, do join us next week for Part 2 — we continue the conversation, discussing raw dairy farming in Oregon, natural handling of mastitis, and resources for those interested in finding or raising raw dairy. You don't want to miss it!

A new multiple in-mold decoration process allows injection molding parts with several differently decorated surfaces using just one dual-barrel injection machine. The new Duo Lamination process from Georg Kaufmann Formenbau AG., Busslingen, Switzerland, is aimed initially at automotive interior parts, though it also could be used for furniture. The process uses the stationary and moving mold halves to mold the rear sides of the parts and a central rotating cube with four identical cavities to mold the front, decorated sides of the parts. The process also relies on pin- or lug-shaped part contours to achieve mechanical bonding of the decorative materials with the back-molding resin. The pins/lugs also serve as an exact means of positioning the decorative materials in the cavity without wrinkles and creases during back-molding. The bonding technology is being patented by Kaufmann and molder Peguform GmbH of Bootzingen, Germany. The process requires an injection machine with a rotary table mounted on a carriage, as well as a second injection unit. The part is produced in four stages. The basic decorative material is inserted from one side of the machine into the cavity of the cube-shaped block and turned by the rotary table 90 ° so that the reverse side of the decorative material in the cavity faces the stationary mold half, where the part is then partially molded with the fi rst material or color. This intermediate part is rotated another 90 °, where the pre-cut decorative materials are inserted into the cavity and located with pins or lugs integrally molded in the previous stage. The table rotates the part another 90 ° to a position opposite the moving platen, where it is back-molded by the second injection unit. The table turns the last 90 ° for part demolding.

There is no mistaking Tatsushi's love and desire for Masataka. And you have to agree that it would be lovely to have such a hot and horny top, catering to your every sexual desire. This film starts with Tatsushi giving Masa some hot kisses. He is really into armpits as well, and licks Masataka's sweaty, hairy pits. Then he runs his amazing tongue over his nipples, body and cock before finally coming to his favorite bit: Masataka's hairy hole. Once his tongue is inside it he licks ferociously, even spitting into the hole. After juicing up that hole with his saliva, his cock rock hard, and he inserts it into the hole. He rocks that ass laying down and standing up, causing Masataka to moan in sweet delight.

David Bairstow was possibly a born victim who spent most of his 46 years fighting to prove otherwise. He had to follow, in his chosen career as wicket-keeper batsman, three great players with England and Yorkshire in Alan Knott, Bob Taylor and Jimmy Binks, and for much of his 10-year service had to accept the comparisons.
As a county captain, a distinction he wore with enormous pride, he took over a Yorkshire dressing-room riven with the shot and shell of the Boycott years. One Championship, even a one-day trophy, would have won the day for him but with a weakened team and at a time when Yorkshire still adhered fiercely to the birth qualification he could never quite muster sufficient strength at a vital time, although he came desperately close with a semi-final in 1984, lost to Warwickshire by three runs.
As a character he was ebullience personified. Once trying to find a phrase to describe his role I defined him as "Yorkshire's fire brigade" and that summed up his game. When "Bluey" (a nickname coined by John Hampshire after his blue eyes and red hair) was at the crease there was always a sense of alarm, of bells ringing, the smell of smoke and danger. He played football - trials with Bradford City - and his life with much the same zest.
He was 17, a stocky schoolboy, when Yorkshire first called him to play against Gloucestershire at his home ground at Park Avenue. To do so he had to take his A level examinations at Hanson Grammar at 6am, thus starting a career that, in cricketing terms, had much more sunshine than gloom. He may well have been Yorkshire's best but the title will be denied him because his career and the advent of covered pitches coincided and he was rarely given the chance to prove how good he could be when taking top-class spinners on a turning surface.
Only David Hunter of his county predecessors has more first-class victims. On only 18 occasions has a Yorkshire wicket-keeper taken six or more victims in a match and Bairstow was present on six; he is one of only six keepers in history to have taken 11 or more victims in a match and he is the only Yorkshire wicket-keeper to have passed 1,600 runs three times.
He could hit and he could defend and his ability was worth far more than the four Test matches granted him. He went to the West Indies in 1981 as the first England choice but lost his place through injury. I had the good fortune to write a book with him in 1984 and whatever dark cloud descended upon him recently I shall treasure a few memories of a rumbustious sense of humour.
Early in his Yorkshire career he was told by the reigning warlord Brian Sellers to get his Seventies-style hair cut. Streetwise, "Bluey" thought Sellers would forget. He didn't and Bairstow was ordered again, this time directed to a specific barber: "I came out looking like a ginger billiard ball" was his rueful comment.
He delighted in run-chases. On one occasion when Yorkshire were so engaged one third-day afternoon things were going so well the wicket-keeper, batting number seven, fell asleep in a deckchair and thus missed a rapid clatter of wickets and new instructions from the captain: "We can't win now. Block it out."
Woken to take his turn, "Bluey" went in swinging the bat, to the consternation of his partner, who thought he was saving the game. "Coom on, run, run, RUN," yelled Bairstow while his partner, astonished, was shouting back, "Nay, wait on, wait on." When he became the county captain his leadership was remembered, as I wrote at the time, "as a series of uphill cavalry charges".
For England he blossomed under Mike Brearley's captaincy, delighting on one occasion in Australia when Brearley, for the last over, posted the wicket-keeper on the boundary in front of the sightscreen, infuriating the crowd, who suspected some cunning Pommie plot, Bairstow grinning hugely at the barrage of curses and insults.
Then there was a famous occasion under floodlights at Sydney where the Australia fast bowlers had been running rampant and Bairstow was joined by Graham Stevenson, another fearsome hitter, for the pair to silence the Hill by hitting the bowling straight for sixes.
He retired 18 years ago and appeared to be succeeding in business ventures and as a radio commentator on cricket. His first marriage, to Gail, whom he nicknamed "Stormy", a word that described their later relationship, ended in divorce but he remarried and when I last saw him, last summer, he was still the breezy, engaging companion I remembered. He had faults, but many virtues, too.
He scored almost 14,000 runs and hit 10 centuries, catching 961 victims and stumping 138.

Australia pacer Mitchell Johnson's bouncer that hit South Africa all-rounder Ryan McLaren on hand has resulted in a hairline fracture, ruling him out of the remainder of the Zimbabwe Triangular Series 2014.
"Ryan was taken for X-rays this afternoon after complaining of severe pain following a blow to his right forearm yesterday," South Africa team manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee was quoted as saying by Cricket Australia (CA) official website.
"The scans revealed a hairline fracture to the bone in the right forearm, which rules him out of action for the next three weeks. He will return back to South Africa on Thursday morning," Moosajee added.
Talking about that delivery, Johnson admitted he got carried away looking McLaren on strike. "I probably got a bit carried away when McLaren came in," he said.
During the Test series in South Africa earlier this year, McLaren as hit on the head by Johnson during the first Test in Centurion, which resulted in the South African all-rounder been ruled out of the second Test against Australia. A delivery from Johnson smashed McLaren in the side of the helmet, which left him bleeding from ear.
According to AFP, McLaren received treatment on the field after a short ball from Johnson crashed into his batting helmet. He resumed batting before being dismissed by Johnson soon afterwards.

Celebrity Beauty & Lipstick: Jessica Chastian, Kate Bosworth
Mauve Mavens: Whose Lipstick Did You Love the Most?
Slightly flushed lips are an easy way to add a natural-looking touch of colour, and there were plenty of celebrities sporting the look this week. Whether it was worn for a glamourous statement or a casually polished look, this shade had its moment on the red carpet. Jessica Chastain swiped a mauve hue on at the New York screening for Mama, while Elisabeth Moss tested it out at a Sundance Channel event. Also, Kate Bosworth was spotted in the universally flattering lip colour, which she paired with pink cheeks. All three ladies kept the rest of their makeup neutral, but whose lip look did you like best?

Designed to help preachers engage in a disciplined and deliberate study of biblical materials, the central premise of Living Water for Thirsty Souls is that preaching should be grounded and centered in the truths and lessons of the Bible. To achieve this goal, author Marvin McMickle has formulated an approach to biblical exegesis for preaching that is easy for students to learn and useful for pastors to employ long after their student days are done. This eight-step approach covers the eight Ls:
- Limits
- Literature
- Language
- Location
- Links
- Leads
- Lessons
- Life application
It is an approach that clearly reflects the traditional methodology for doing biblical exegesis. These teaching tools are guaranteed to take the preacher through the transition from text to sermon, resulting in a rich harvest of preaching material.

It's been a little strange with all this snow because it's made getting out and about not so easy. So, I 'cocooned' and went through my stash for my next stitch. Here is a progress shot of Quaker Alphabet by La-d-da which I started on Sunday.
You know, every time I switch from one count of linen to another, it's an adjustment. This time I am adjusting from 28 to 32 count. I know once I get into 32 count I'll love it again but right now it's a bit of a struggle. Now that I see the photo I wonder why I didn't do a better job getting the creases out of the linen! *sigh* Someone was impatient around here!
Thank you my friends for stopping by. I was so happy to get so many comments on my last post and from new visitors to my blog. Thank you so much! You've just given me such an early Christmas present!
I hope you will have a healthy, happy Christmas surrounded those you love (and Santa brings you a big stash of stitching goodies)!

Just as Webster was settling down to do the first crossword puzzle ever (the date being December 21, 1913, the newspaper being the New York World), a knock came at the door. A beautiful tall brunette walked in. A real head-turner, if ever he saw one. She was hotter than a coal in the furnace of an Alabama steam train. Her legs were long and sleek. Her hair flowed back on her shoulders in a way that could only mean one thing. She had recently worn a hat. And you could tell she was distraught.
"I can tell you are distraught," Webster said.
"Are you Webster, private eye?"
"The same. What can I do for you, miss..."
"Mrs. Daniels. It's my husband, he has been murdered," the leggy dame sobbed, and took the proferred handkerchief.
"Given a quietus, eh? Why come to me?" asked Webster. "Why not go to the police?"
"The police think my son did it. I want you to prove that he didn't."
Now Webster was not the man to turn his back on a damsel in distress. "I ween I'll take the case."
After offering Mrs. Daniels coffee, Webster settled once more into his chair. "I'd like you to tell me everything you can about your husband, Mrs. Daniels."
"He is... was a zookeeper. He took care of the birds, mostly feeding them and cleaning out their cages. Everybody who worked at the zoo liked him. Today morning he forgot to take his sandwiches, and Ralph, that's my son, went to take them to him. He found my husband lying in a pool of his own blood. He had been stabbed repeatedly all over his body. My son ran to get help. When they got to my husband, it was too late, but before he died, he managed to say 'Ralph did it'. Naturally the police arrested my son." and she buried herself in the kerchief.
"I think I may have a hunch. Just let me make a phone call."
"Is that a rotary dial phone you have there?" asked Mrs. Daniels.
"Not for another 10 years."
They were outside one of the bird cages. Webster, Mrs. Daniels, Harris the police inspector and Ralph. "Please check the bird's beak, inspector, I think you may be in for a little surprise," said Webster.
"Oh my, it's covered in blood," the inspector said. "But how did you know?"
"Have you seen Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds?"
"Of course not, that movie won't be made for another 50 years".
"Well, we all know birds are vicious little creatures. When I heard that Mr. Daniels had been stabbed repeatedly, I immediately suspected that a bird pecked him to death. It was just a question of figuring out which one. And as every schoolgirl knows, Ralph is a name sometimes given to the raven."

The three outfielders play deep in the field, well behind the infield cutout. Defensively, the outfielders are primarily responsible for catching deep fly balls and line drives and for fielding ground balls that make it past the infielders. The outfielders are named for their normal positions in the field as seen by an observer looking out to the field from home plate. The left fielder plays in the area behind the third baseman and shortstop, the center fielder plays well behind second base, and the right fielder plays in the area behind the second baseman and first baseman.
Outfield play is very different from infield play. Outfielders are neither required to make as many quick starts and stops as infielders nor to field as many ground balls, but they must run longer distances and often field more fly balls than infielders. Throws from the outfield are also different from throws from the infield because they're much longer and take a different trajectory. The outfield positions are generally considered to be easier to play than the infield positions and tend to be dominated by good hitters.
Center field is usually considered the hardest outfield position. The centerfielder has a larger area to cover than the other outfielders and the center fielder needs a strong arm to be able to make throws from deep center field to the infield. The right and left fielders have about the same amount of field to cover, but the right fielder needs to make the long throw from right field to third base far more often than the left fielder needs to throw to first base, so teams usually put the fielder with a stronger arm in right field.

DNA Lounge update, wherein there are a bunch of photos.
The Death Panels just gave me $85.
I just got a check for $85 in the mail from my insurance company along with a letter saying, "The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act says we're only allowed to spend 20% of our income on crap that isn't actually health care, and we spent more than that last year, so here's your refund."
If a lot of people are getting these checks, I can hardly imagine a more effective re-election campaign!

Ariel is the mastermind behind a Seattle version of an event that's been popping up across the country: The Salon of Shame.Put next Wednesday night on your calendar when:
"A half dozen Seattle writers will stand before you and read their most shameful journal passages. Excruciating tales of heartbreak! Agonizing descriptions of early drug experiences! Teen perspectives on world politics! It's all here, served on a verbal platter for you to drink up and enjoy."
I might just attend. And it's certainly got me interested in dusting off my journals to see what demons might lurk betwen their pages.

I didn't think that Napoleon Dynamite was that funny; it was mediocre. I've been perplexed by its popularity. It was like a closet filled with ready-to-wear memes and little else.
So I like this literally ready-to-wear counter-meme. [via]
Oh, and as long as fashion metaphors are getting mixed up with Napoleon Dynamite, I must link to Ariel's catty new fashion blog, specifically her Nick Cage takedown.

Random stuff I feel like writing about including stories from my game development career, new tech ideas and whatever else comes to my mind.

Engine Research
I've been in full-on engine research mode since the Kickstarter ended. Up to this point it's been mostly high-level engine design type stuff. William (main architect of the engine) and I have spent a decent amount of time hashing out different architecture stuff. For example how are we going to handle implementing the UI and support UI modding? What do the servers look like? How do we handle replays and savegames? How are units and orders represented? Coordinate spaces? Unit ids? Etc.
I've mainly been concentrating on the graphics side. Putting together all of the pieces and finalizing the design goals. I have a fairly plausible complete plan at the moment for everything with appropriate fallbacks. As I get happy with the implementation I'll talk more about the details of this stuff.

Wow, I'm shocked and amazed but we just crossed the $2M line on our Kickstarter.
A huge thanks to everyone out there that contributed and spread the word. Astounding!

I've been slowly getting back to the heart of me. Photography is a burning piece of my heart. I sleep dreaming of mountains to photograph and buildings. I feel a sense of peace when the camera is in my hands. It feels like home. I've been searching for artistic shots since I was 16. I've found my favorite subjects are flowers. They never judge me and always lay all their beauty on the line. If I could travel the country and just take pictures I would. I'm starting over new in this digital world,

[Update: Naughty Dog's Arne Meyer denies the artwork is related to an upcoming Uncharted sequel. Scroll down for details.]
On the French Amazon website a listing for Uncharted 3: World of Deceit has been posted, then at the same time a design student by the name of Albert Ng has posted a set of screens for level designs all under the same title. It does seem a little too coincidental that an architecture student would post a fan-made set of level designs with the same title as posted on an Amazon listing. Is this a mistake on Amazon's part or is there more to this story?
There are two options that seem feasible in this situation. Either Albert posted his architecture designs online and some smaller gaming news outlet took them to be fact and eventually they hit the Amazon site. Or, conversely, Albert, who may or may not have worked for a company with ties to Sony, posted some of his work to show his class and didn't realize the magnitude of rumors it would create. Most would like to believe that the plans are in the works for the next Uncharted game, especially with all this talk over a movie.
World of Deceit seems like a logical projection from Among Thieves. Uncharted has always provided engaging stories in which Nathan Drake interacts with his "tomb-raiding" colleagues in a less than moral manner. If this title indicates we are going to get more of what we saw from Among Thieves, one of the best games of 2009, then bring it on.
What do you think of the title Uncharted 3: World of Deceit? Does it feel like a logical progression from Among Thieves or were you hoping for something else? Or is this a complete misunderstanding?
Update: Naughty Dog's Arne Meyer took to the NeoGaf forums to deny the World of Deceit rumors –
"The guy used the Uncharted universe as the basis for mock work for one of his classes and even listed it as such where the pieces were posted: Uncharted 3 pieces I did for architecture class. So, totally fake and I didn't even have to say so. :)"

Your obsession with the superior cock is no longer a secret. You fantasise about ebony dick, your worthless, non-existent dick is no comparison to the length, girth and thickness of dark meat. Black cock makes you feel inferior, less of a man but also makes you feel very horny. You are nothing more than a slut for ebony cock, it's the ONLY thing that gets you off now. Your daily thoughts turn to big, juicy black dick thoughts. You are unable to control your urge to worship black dick. I want you to worship black cock today, I want you to embrace your inner slut and stroke yourself stupid in submission to superior cock. You will be left aching for black, desperate to have your lips wrapped around a huge, big meaty black load. Worship as I demand.

Lee, Olaf, Robert in the Flint Hills
Sunday 6-13 day 40 - 74 miles 1752 total miles. Eureka to Newton. Ten miles into the ride the skies opened up and we were drenched for about 10 minuets, then it just rained for another 20. For most of the rest of the day ugly clouds threatened, but nothing happened. We did get a great wind out of the east tailwind for the last 20 miles into Newton. Actually a good day to be on a bike, most of it was through the Flint Hills.
Photo of a long train on the horizon with an ominous roll cloud above it.
Heard of cattle with roll cloud.
Saturday 6-12 day 39 - 64 miles 1752 total. Chanute to Eureka. Entered the beautiful Flint Hills today. The Europeans on the trip rushed to Eureka so they could watch the World Cup soccer football game between The United States and England. The game was an exciting 1 to 1 tie. WOW?

Llanelli Pink and Gold Quilt
Here is a Welsh quilt which has a jaunty feel to it - and it is one of my particular favourites because of its lively air. Originally sold at an auction house at Four Hands, Llanelli, it is local to that area. The dealer had seen other, similar quilts, in a similar colour combination, in that area.
The quilt measures 66 x 74 inches and has been well used, but is still in good condition. One side is a mid gold colour cotton sateen, the other a rich pink colour. The quilting thread is gold. The quilt edge is neatly hand sewn.
The quilting designs are very pleasing on this quilt. There is a central medallion of beech leaves, surrounded by circles and spirals; there are fans and large daisies and a lively four lobed flower design. Multiple outlines add energy to the whole. The wadding is carded lambswool and the stitching assured. This quilt was undoubtedly made by a local quilter using designs traditional to that area.
A limited number of templates have been used to great effect, with outlining adding a great amount of energy. The quilt is in very vivid colours (the photos here look a bit subdued compared to the actual quilt). It just proves that in quilting, simple designs are often the most effective, especially if arranged skillfully and, in the Welsh tradition, outlined for additional emphasis. Welsh quilting at its best.

Margaret Anne Doody,
HarperCollins, pounds 15.99
Multiculturalism begins at home." Margaret Anne Doody's neat slogan is aimed at one version of English, parish-pump ethnocentricity: our common assumption that "The Novel" is a quintessentially English invention, one of the happiest products of the marriage between Protestantism and early Capitalism, sometime in the 18th century. This is a nonsensical view, Doody argues, not only because it ignores Spanish and Far Eastern traditions, among others; but also because it is wilfully blind to the origins of western fiction in the Latin and Greek novels of the Roman Empire.
These ancient novels come in many volumes and in many different forms. But the commonest theme is one of love thwarted but ultimately triumphant. A young boy and a young girl, beautiful and passionately in love, win through against all the trials that have kept them apart: false accusations of murder, mistaken death, attacks by bandits, even their own ignorance of the practical details of making love.
Over the last 50 years or so Classicists have been deeply divided about the significance and the quality of these books. The standard line used to be that these were "romances" and did not deserve the prestigious title "novel". They were the ancient equivalent of Mills and Boon, trivial timewasters for the Roman imperial housewife. To think that Achilles Tatius and his lovers' antics had been preserved intact, when more than half of, say, Livy or Tacitus didn't make it through to the Middle Ages!
But the tables have been turning. Recent critics have seen a lot more in these novels: sophisticated literary jokes and theorising on writing and representation; plus a radical vision of sexual partnership, which subverts the masculinist tradition of almost all other ancient literature. The implication is that we must be dealing with a highly educated, probably male readership. These were books, in other words, as much for the study as for the salon.
Doody is a powerful and engaging exponent of this new view, which she lays out in some detail (with enticing plot summaries) in the first 150 pages of this very long, but never dull, book. But more important, The True Story of the Novel is the first critical study to link this Roman phase with the later development of the "novel" as we have come to know it. Doody tracks these texts through the Middle Ages (it was only because some medieval monk bothered to copy them that we can still read them; and it's worth asking, as Doody does, why they should have bothered) and through the printed versions and translations that followed.
Here she is at her best, exposing the literary controversies and "culture wars" that these novels provoked. Jean Racine, for example, was apparently determined to read Heliodorus' Ethiopian Tales, even in the face of the opposition of his teacher, who managed to burn the first two copies Racine got hold of; the third time, Racine memorised the novel before handing it over. As Doody remarks, this story shows just how difficult it was to eradicate these novels "which steal into the very places schoolmasters are trying hardest to guard, the hearts and minds of the young". She does not mention that Heliodorus' work stretches to some ten volumes and what that might tell us about the staying power of young Racine - or the veracity of the story.
Sadly, though, in a book which deals a witty dispatch to much of the nonsense talked about the history of the novel, Doody lets quite a lot of nonsense back in at the margins. She has fallen for one of the daftest theories of the ancient novel of the last 100 years. Not a classicist herself, she has taken good advice and has homed in on the best modern critical work in the subject. Her major blind spot has been to embrace one particular speculation, which has tried to suggest that these novels are works of religious fiction; that they reflect the rites of the so- called "mystery" cults popular in the Roman Empire (notably of Isis, Mithras and Cybele); and that they trace "the process of the soul in the service of a god or goddess".
The evidence for this speculation is almost non-existent. There is just one explicitly "Isiac" novel, Apeleius's Golden Ass, which ends with the hero's initiation into the rites of Isis. But still it leads Doody off on the chase of the Great Goddess not only in ancient fiction, but as a defining feature of all modern fiction too. This turns out to be a very silly trail (particularly silly when it leads her to the dog in Wuthering Heights, who is graced with the divine name of Juno) which just fails to ruin an otherwise elegant, learned and convincing book.

An excerpt about Vogons:
"Vogons are extremely ugly, extremely officious, and generally not much fun to be around.
They emerged from the seas of the planet Vogsphere, and gave up on evolving there and then. Only their stubbornness allowed them to survive."
Even though the Vogon poetry is only the third worst poetry in the galaxy, it was still quite sufficient to be used as means to torture the space travellers Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect. Only Ford Prefect seemed to suffer, though, Arthur actually claimed to have liked what he heard. Then again, the man had just lost his home to bulldozers and he had been tricked to hitchhike to a spaceship with a towel, followed by losing his whole Earth to hypergalactic bulldozers, when all he wanted was a moment of peace to read the newspaper and have a nice, warm cup of tea - who can blame him for not quite being in his full senses to realize the horrendous situation they were in at the time.
Here's the poem the Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz read to the unfortunate couple:
"Oh freddled gruntbuggly thy micturations are to me / As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee. / Groop I implore thee my foonting turlingdromes. / And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles, / Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon, / see if I don't!"

Okay a few thoughts - GB ends this sunday. So I need payment by then, don't count on me ordering extra boards. It seems when I do, they have a way of dissapearing quickly once I actually have them on hand.
The boards will be a bit smaller than some of the prototype pictures to work better with the diyaudiostore amp chassis (at least the big one). 6 speed has been doing scaled model printouts cutout and fit to the chassis. Did some more listening to the F6. - The Figure 13 - buffered setup, without any zen pots, or any degeneration. Trying to keep it simple for now. Give me too many variables to control - and I go mad science and cannot be sure of anything. Funny how it sounds so controlled and meaty when hooked up to my Fostex FF125WK - these are now my test bench speakers. They sounds really good with this amp, but only when I really crank it up. Excellent soundstage. I really dont like these fostex for a small speaker in bass reflex box. I like the CHR-70's the best in my collection of small full rangers. Hooked up to lowthers in main system - now this is what I remember hearing from the real J2 I heard - a bit liquid and smooth. Even my wife says it's a tamer amplifier than others. But I don't find it too laid back. I am trying to get distortion spectra on the amp with some help from Generg. The transformers all sound 'different'. But I would say that the Jensens characteristics are the most unique. Can't explain why. Not sure I like it the best either. But it brings quite a unique tone and presence to the setup. The Onetics and Cinemag are more similar in they would appear to me to be a little bolder sounding, and possibly a little more neutral in tone, but still have a little bit of liquid and smoothness to it. The Onetics sounded bad until I had about 48 hours of burn-in on them.

Thanks for the above update. Appreciate the hard work you put in. Is there any update on the R100? Will there be some form of GB for matched pairs from Semisouthfan? |

Regarding SemiSouth's here is the delimma.
The R100's @ current pricing is 50.00 each, buying a bunch of them will end up for people having to pay more, a matching fee and paypal the price climbs quick. I am not sure that you guys are willing to pay for that. Loose a couple in the mail uninsured and everyone is pissed. I am looking into buying some 'B' stock stuff that did not meet all parameters of original spec sheet. This is much what they did with the R100A's AFIAK. I've added everyone who has asked to the spreadsheet.

okay, I think some R125's will be available (the original) these are considered A-stock, except they have been burned in and tested extensively. So they apparently have not appeared as new. I have not seen them yet. But I will buy some.
The R100's will be "B" stock. Some that did not meet full testing spec. Similiar to an R100A to a degree. I don't have the full test equipment (particularily a curve tracer) to look at all their datasheet variables to test - but I am seeing about borrowing one from someone if they have it.

I need to amend my last comments, as I did not understand all my previous dialogue with SemiSouthFan.
All product will be marked as E120R125 - the original SS parts used in first J2. I am getting two different batches of them. One batch is one's that have been under long term extensive testing, and of coursed passed. Cosmetically you can tell this, some are marked etc. The second batch are one's that did not meet original Spec of AC Gate voltage of -15 to +15, and are -10V to +15. These are more similiar to the discounted R100A's that were 'designated for Audio' in previous productions. All of these should be fine for audio applications. Combined there will be about 40 pairs available, assuming all goes as planned. No pricing is available yet. But will likely beat SemiSouthFan's pricing for NOS umatched stock. Sign up sheet is in my signature.

Here is what the final layout will look like. It's been shortened up (top to bottom) a bit to better fit the AudioStoreChassis and UMS spacing.

Afterword9/9/9 (9 September, 2009) A commentary after the fact on The Myth and Legend of D'PTah, an original novel by Dan Sewell Ward. Forewords for novels seem a bit strange. How does one really talk about a novel... until after it's been read? Besides having to avoid plot spoilers and the like, forewords... other than laurels for the author, his sources, supporting friends and associates... seems strangely out of place. UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Designer(s) |
The Airboat, also referred to as the Mudskipper,[2] is a Resistance vessel apparently built from scrap and spare parts. Nimble, fast, and capable of traveling over both water and land, it is ideal for navigating the City 17 Canals. It is unarmed at first, but is later retrofitted with a pulse cannon salvaged from a Hunter-Chopper, making it a very deadly threat to Combine forces.
Contents |
[edit] Appearances
[edit] Half-Life 2
The Airboat is introduced to the player towards the end of the chapter Route Kanal at Station 6, which is destroyed by a Headcrab Shell bombardment as Gordon passes through it. There Gordon is given the boat by Arlene to reach Black Mesa East faster and more safely. He then makes his way through polluted canals and wetlands and is soon spotted by a City Scanner, prompting nearby Civil Protection units to give chase. Freeman manages to evade them, until eventually a Hunter-Chopper joins the chase.
After being pursued for miles, Gordon temporarily loses the chopper in some tunnels, and comes across a hidden Resistance station. There a Vortigaunt mounts a pulse cannon on the boat, providing a powerful offensive capability. Gordon is now able to defend himself more easily against the Metrocops, the APCs and the Xen wildlife swarming the Canals, and destroys the chasing Hunter-Chopper near a dam right before Black Mesa East. When Gordon reaches Eli's facility, he leaves the Airboat behind. It is then presumably captured and/or destroyed by the Combine as they invade the base.
[edit] Tactics
- A fast and compact vehicle, the Airboat is well suited to the high speed navigation of the Canals. Though unarmed at first, it can be used to ram any CP foolish enough to stand in the way of it. Once the Airboat is armed, however, its lethality increases significantly. The Hunter-Chopper pulse cannon is an extremely powerful weapon, capable of punching through the armor of both APCs and Hunter-Choppers. In addition, ammunition supply is not a problem, as the ammo 'recharges' as it is used. However, burst fire is regularly needed or ammo will run out in around two seconds.
- Several puzzles involving Resistance installations are required to be solved to be able to proceed further. Two involve a springboard that must be raised with a counterweight. One has to be filled with any heavy props found around, the other with blue barrels.

[edit] Behind the scenes
- The Airboat was originally a Jet Ski but did not playtest well. When the Airboat replaced it and was first tested, it caused motion sickness. If the player's view was tightly connected to the vehicle, every slight bump was magnified, making some early playtesters nauseous (Adrian Finol, programmer, even threw up after an extended playtest). A careful redesign of the handlebar, pontoon and roll-cage were subsequently made, ending with the current version.[3]
- The first Airboat model can be found in the Half-Life 2 leak files. It is longer and its textures are not completed.[4]
[edit] Trivia
- The Airboat is almost impossible to knock over. Even executing 180° rolls will almost always result in the vessel not flipping itself. This is most likely to prevent players being stranded with an unusable vehicle, since it would be impossible to turn it over by external means, the Gravity Gun being not acquired at that point of the game.
- Two Orange Box Achievements, "Anchor's Aweigh!" and "Heavy Weapons", require acquiring the Airboat and having the pulse cannon mounted on it, respectively. One cut Achievement, named "Catching Air", was to require floating at least five seconds in mid-air with the Airboat.
- A pulse cannon similar to the one salvaged by the Resistance and added to the Airboat can be found mounted in a small tower near Gate 5 in the Canals. Freeman uses it to fire at the pursuing Hunter-Chopper.
