Grails Console is … well… groovy dammit
Doing more Groovy on Grails dev today and have really got in to the Grails Console. What this allows you to do is to fire up a console from within the context of your application and then dick about with code snippets. The context bit is important as you can run all the data access stuff just as you would in you application. In the above example I list the contents of the JadLine table.
The real benefit for me, particularly when on a leaning curve of a new language, is the ability to run a code snippets with out having to arse about in browsers. This really chops the corner off the usual code, reload and grumble process of web development in Java.
To run the Grails console, cd to you project directory and enter "Grails console"
Groovy on Grails for real
Needed to knock up a quick app to deliver Jars and Jads and decided it was time to have a go at Groovy on Grails for real.
Although learning curves can be a bit tiresome, overall the experience has been pretty positive. The things I like so far are:
- Being able to create a domain class and have it create all the relational mapping for me.
- Being able to add fields to this class and have it update the table.
- Creating a controller and have automatic CRUD scaffolding in place so I can see if things look ok.
- Being able to update code and have the context loaded automatically … ace. This is a little flaky sometimes, but that might be my lack of understanding.
- Having the freedom and no typee-ness of Groovy, no static typing is good most times
- Knowing that I can use a lot of stuff I know like the String functions, no massive syntax change
- Knowing it is all Spring, Hibernate and Sitemesh underneath
The other thing that has given me confidence is that SpringSource are now behind the Grails project.
Ooooo it's all good.
Groovy and Closures
Groovy and Grails (Ruby too) make a big thing of closures. A closure is defined, slightly unhelpfully, as:
A Groovy closure is like a "code block" or a method pointer. It is a piece of code that is defined and then executed at a later point.
If you are not use to them they can be tricky to grasp but they are hugely powerful and in many cases make code easier to read. See my cheesey code to print out the files in a directory:
This is using the Groovy eclipse plugin of course
The only problem with closures is that they are manna are from heaven to the lets-write-the-code-in-least-amount-of-lines-brigade. You know the sort of people, they chain a load of functions and objects together in one line and then stick a regular expression on the end. The technical term for these people, I believe, is bastards.
Groovy and Ruby
Up till now I have used Ruby for the odd scripting job, just to get into the language as it were. One script I use regularly is a one that opens a url a 100 times and sleeps for a few seconds in between. Here is the Ruby code:
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
response = ''
for i in 0 ... 100
url = URI.parse('http://localhost:8080/frontier/batchProcess.html')
res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) {|http|
as I have gone all Groovy, I decided to re-write this in Groovy. It is very similar but slightly more familiar for us Java herberts:
println "start"
for(i in 1..100) {
url = new URL("http://localhost:8080/frontier/batchProcess.html")
s = url.getText()
println s
println "sleeping ${i}"
println "stop"
I think that familiarity could be key.
Finally, I had some friends over on the week and they spotted my "Groovy Programming book". Oh how they laughed and pointed at me. Sigh.
Books, Mac and Light Sabre
I've got the Groovy book, the Grails book, the MacBook and the light sabre …… and yeah a light sabre.
Digging the crazy Grails thing
So here goes, my first Grails app. A simple todo list
First create me an application with: grails create-app todo
Then create a domain class with: grails create-domain-class and tell to create a class called todo.
Edit the domain class, add some fields and constraints as follows:
class Todo {
String description
String type
Date dueDate
static constraints = {
Then generate a controller with: grails create-controller and tell it to use Todo.
Finally edit the controller class TodoController.groovy an tell it to dynamically generate the scaffoled code based on the Todo domain class.
class TodoController {
def scaffold = Todo
And with just that tiny bit code I have a running app. I can test it locally and when I am happy create a war file with grails war.
Finally, and wondefully I can just upload this to my tomcat server and it works. See the demo app here.
There is a very real chance I may wet my pants.
Final note, the database is just a in memory db so things will disappear.

I am just going to copy the article, including the picture. I mean, this is pure symbolism. The picture used is taken at the Copenhagen synagoge, the day after the shooting. Anyone who knows anything about occult symbolism knows: this is way too obvious. No-one who ever read anything about the New World Order (and journalist read everything!) would ever place a picture like this without realizing that it contains all the symbols.
For newbees in this area who have their doubts and don't want to read weird stuff:
- Google chess pattern (black and white) and illuminati (link).
- The colours green, red, yellow, blue and black are the colours of the 5 olympic ring and main symbols of the New World Order (One World, Under One Leadership).
- Brown is what you get when you mix these colours.
- Green is often used as a colour for the divine and immortal.
- By the way, his hand is one the kids behind.
Below the article the picture was taken from. I am sure this is fishy.
Danish Police: gunman is Danish-born 22-year-old with criminal record
A suspected gunman shot dead by Danish police near a train station in Norrebro, an area in Copenhagen not far from the sites where he is believed to have carried out two deadly attacks, has been identified, the commissioner for Copenhagen police Thorkild Fogde said on Sunday.
Fogde said the man was armed and one of his weapons may have been used in the first attack. One person died when the gunman attacked a cafe hosting an event attended by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has received death threats for depicting the Prophet Mohammad.
"It was the case that when the suspect was shot and killed during police action he was armed with pistols. The news is that we have found a weapon that we think could be the weapon used in the first shooting. We have also found some clothing that is now part of the investigation. We have also identified the perpetrator, we now know who the suspected perpetrator is and we will say more about that at a later stage," Fogde said.

text: 25 tracks! Pro made / official release.Devoid of Faith was an American Hardcore punk band from Albany, NY in the mid 90's. Playing hardcore punk, the band shared members from Monster X, Hail Mary, Limp Wrist, John Brown's Army, and Das Oath. Devoid of Faith had several releases including a split with Voorhees. DOF were influenced by the likes of Life's Blood, Agnostic Front, Gauze, SSD, Jerrys Kids, etc. The band broke up in 1999, though they played a reunion show in 2004 at Gloomfest 2 with the original line up. The band did several small mini tours, but never made any further out West than Minnesota. Pushead released two very limited records by the band, and put them on one of his Bacteria Sour compilations.

If your looking for Needlepoint talk, visit our blog and find interesting topics and helpful tips.
The subtitle for this book is "How To Design Your Own". The authors of this book say on their dust jacket " 2 leading designers analyze patterns and show how to obtain beautiful originals through careful selection of colors and materials".
There are examples of both good design and bad design along with solutions to design problems. Every Bargello Needlepoint pattern is shown in color as well as black & white. What this book lacks is many useable graphs.
As a Bargello design primer this book is be useful.
My Needlepoint Book Bibliography ( by Catherine J Sestay and I am daily grateful for this book) calls this book a rich source of beautiful bargello patterns. I agree with that.
It also says the instructions are detailed and the authors encourage their readers to create their own designs on the basis of the samples.
There is a chapter on Border designs. Bargello Magic is rated a B for difficulty (with A easiest and D hardest).
This is hardcover book published by Holt, Rinehart & Winston in 1972. As it gets harder to find, it gets more expensive. I wish that were not so.
This book is in good condition. The dust jacket is gone and the hard covers have a extremely small bend, I am working now on pressing it flat. I am almost there.
The inside of the book is very good, clean pages, no markings & the spine is tight

Little town, picturesquely embedded in the hinterland of Lake Garda
Sommacampagna is located in the south of Lake Garda. The town is just a few kilometers from Verona and the Lake Garda. This authentic Italian holiday location is embedded in the picturesque and hilly landscape of the Colline Moreniche and offers not only culinary highlights but also many interesting possibilities for trips. From here, you can start cycling tours through the hinterland (there are 11 percorsi cicloturistici and the "anello del Custoza"), play golf (Golf Club Verona) or go on a hike on the historical paths of the region (CamminaCustoza, Tamburino Sardo, Percorso della Storia, Sentiero della Pace). Twice a week you can buy local products at a typical Italian market: on Fridays in the old town of Sommacampagna and on Saturdays in Piazza Martiri della Libertà in Caselle. In any case, you should absolutely taste the wines Custoza DOC, which are well-known far beyond the borders of the area. Wines young and fresh, unique and inimitable. Another specialty of the region is the Broccoletto di Custoza, which made it onto the Slow Food list in 2016. Sommacampagna and the surrounding area are well-known for the delicious peaches. A specialty that is used a lot in the local Veronese cuisine and celebrated every year from the middle of June to the beginning of September with "La Pesca a Tavola". And if you think kiwis grow only in exotic countries ... no, Sommacampagna is well known for cultivating these green fruits that get harvested in October and November.
A region with an interesting history
The strategic position has led to the construction of military buildings and patrician villas. Many are still well preserved and it's worth visiting them. The first settlers settled around an ancient
place of ritual worship. Today, the church of St. Andrea is located right there. Originally the the town was called Summacampania. Already in the time of the Roman Empire it was a place with a strategically very important position and a favorable climate. Over the centuries, the city has seen numerous rulers, from the Romans over the Huns to the Lombards and the Franks. Until Sommacampagna was finally conquered by Berengario, the king of Italy. Berengario built a castle on the top of a hill and for many centuries this was the public square where people came toghether and traded things. Today right there the church of St. Rocco il located. Due to its strategic position, Sommacampagna was also a stage for important historical events. At the time of the Risorgimento, bloody battles were carried out in the hills of Custoza, where you can find the famous Ossario (bone house) today.
Sommacampagna can be easily reached by car (A4 / A22, tangenziali) or by plane (Verona airport "Valerio Catullo"). The trans-European trade routes 1 (Berlin - Palermo) and 5 (Lisbon - Kiev) cross here. Thanks to this unique position at one of the most important traffic junctions in Europe, Sommacampagna has also attracted many companies, in particular companies from the agricultural and food sectors.
The area offers a wide choice of accommodation: hotels, agriturismi and B&Bs welcome the guests. There is something for everyone, for business people, families, cyclists, etc. After you have experienced our hospitality and tasted our food and wine, you definitely want to return to this wonderful place as soon as possible.

The week after Thanksgiving is cyber week in which millions of people in our country are spending their Tuesday online shopping. Instead, let's spend our resources on saving and changing the lives of people who are frequently neglected. We must take a minute in our daily lives to remember the thousands to millions of impoverished mothers, fathers, children, babies, siblings living worldwide who are praying for our help.
Give globally to the people living in West Africa. People who struggle every single day of their life to stay alive.
Daily, mothers in Rotifunk are consumed by the death of their undelivered baby and themselves when the time has come to bear their baby. This is because of the dismal hospital conditions that require our help to change. Rotifunk hospital averages over 80 births a month. If surgery is required, the mother must be transported to another hospital approximately 60 miles away and over very bad dirt roads. Some don't even make it…..
The time to help is now! The hospital needs a reliable source of power, an anesthesia machine, a cautery and a nurse anesthesiologist among many other things. It is absolutely urgent. For normal deliveries, baby delivery kits including the necessary supplies to successfully deliver the baby are needed. Newborn baby packages are desperately needed too, which include the essential items to properly care for babies during the most vulnerable early days of life.
Let's make an impact, together.

He had a lazy eye. That's the first thing I noticed about him. It wasn't that his eye was looking off into the west when he approached me in the grocery store. We were in the baking goods aisle, surrounded by flour, sugar and spices . His slight wall-eye was made even more noticeable by his Elizabeth Taylor violet eyes. His face was pleasant enough. He had this Matt Damon 'just handsome enough but completely clueless' thing going for him, and I fully expected him to talk in elongated, slightly slurred, two word sentences like that puppet in the movie about the Film Actors Guild (or F.A.G.).
"Excuse me, Miss," he said, waving his hand slightly to get my attention or make sure that I knew he was talking to me. "Do you know where the tunafish is?"
There is something about me and the way I look that makes complete strangers come up to me and ask me for directions. I have been on walks and had people pull up to ask me how to get to the pharmacy, or where was such-and-such street. In the store I attract lost children, bachelors and married men on their first grocery trip for the wife.
I must look like a human GPS station.
"Down the next aisle," I tell him, pointing to my right. "At the end."
He smiled and nodded. "Thank you." And then he was walking away.
I really didn't think anything more of it, or him. Like I said, people come up to me all the time and ask me directions and I don't remember all their faces, or what they asked for. I was a single mother, recently widowed, with a feisty two year old on my hands every hour I wasn't working. Except the weekends that I sent my daughter, Katie, off with my mother for a child-free mental vacation. And you know what I do with my child-free time? Run errands. Grocery shop. Sleep. I do the things that I can never seem to get done while Katie is with me.
My father says I look haggard and says that life has made me hard. But I don't think that is the case, or people wouldn't come up to me in the store and ask for directions. You don't ask someone who looks overwhelmed for anything except "Can I help you?" At least, that's my opinion.
I stood in the checkout line, having put all my items on the belt, making sure I got extra wipes for sticky fingers to keep in my car (on the floor beneath the carseat). I saw a bright yellow romance novel on the rack and picked it up, turning it to read the back.
"John Conner is a devilishly handsome rogue with a secret." It read.
I admit that I love a good romance novel. They are an easy read and fill my head with what I wish could be between a man and a woman. But I have never met a 'rogue' that wasn't perfectly content with staying a rogue.
"I'm tired of devilishly handsome rogues and of their secrets," I mumbled to myself, putting the book back in it's place.
"How about "the normal looking guy with an unusual shopping list" instead?" A voice behind me asked.
I tuned and looked, seeing the same wall-eyed man who had asked me for directions to tuna. He had a much folded and wrinkled sheet of notebook paper–frayed edges still hanging on for dear life. The print was so large and black that it had bleed through the paper. I could have read it from fifteen feet away. It read: "chicken nuggets, peanut butter, tuna, ice cream." His cart was filled with just those four items, but filled none-the less.
I tried not to laugh as soon as he put the first jar of peanut butter on the belt behind the partition, but I had to say something to counter his remark.
"Interesting combination." I motioned to his cart, wondering if four family size bags of chicken nuggets would get frostbite before this obvious bachelor could finish them off. He wasn't overweight, or not obviously so. He looked fit and healthy, and it did make me wonder how children and bachelors can survive so well on such an unbalanced diet.
He blinked up at me, his wall-eye moving just slightly to his left while his other eye focused on me. He squinted for a second and then lit up with recognition. "I found the tuna!" He pointed at what had to be 30 cans in his cart.
"I see that," I said, amused.
He continued to put what he could on the small space left for him on the belt. The cashier was moving forward at a steady pace, checking out the customer in front of me with a steady beep, beep, beep of the upc scanner. "Yeah," the wall-eyed man said, not looking at me while he kept loading the belt, building a tower of peanut butter and tuna, "My nephew is coming over this week and all he will eat is chicken nuggets, tuna, peanut butter and ice cream."
"Have you tried giving him yogurt?"
He stopped loading the belt to look up at me.
"They have kids yogurt in kiddie flavors…"
He was still looking at me and it was a little disconcerting. I know I am not UNattractive, but I have never made a man stop and stare, not even my dead husband, who married me because he was very practical and wanted an equally practical wife. I had on sweat pants, a BYU tee-shirt and an old, favorite sweater that was just as comfortable as my old, favorite tennis shoes.
My hair was up in a pony tail, to keep it out of my face. In the two years I had been a widow, I hadn't cut it once. At first that was because I just didn't care. I really was, like my father had said, hard. But I had an infant and my husband had killed himself on that stupid motorcycle. He had to have it, you know. He was a tall, thin, geek with pale blond hair and amber eyes, but he thought he was a sex god while on the motorcycle. It still made me angry. It was the only thing he had been completely impractical about, and it killed him.
Anyway, back to my hair.
By the time I actually cared about my hair, it had become a habit to put it back in a pony tail, or banana clip and just leave it alone. I would braid it for church and let the long, chestnut rope of hair fall to the middle of my back like a tail.
That morning I had been too lazy to even put it up in a pony tail. I must have looked like I just got out of bed, with my sweats, unkempt hair and no make-up on. Until the man looked at me so closely, so deeply, I really hadn't cared. But now I felt self conscious.
I saw his hand move up and then down as his mouth opened to say something.
"I'm mostly blind," he said, starting the conversation in a new direction that made me want to squirm in my shoes, "and sometimes in less light, all I can see are shadows. But there are people who have a sort of 'glow' about them. Like a golden halo." His voice was soft, and I couldn't help but notice how rich it was and how it made my spine shiver when it softened. "You have it."
I smiled.
That was the best line I had ever heard come out of a man's mouth. It may have been the truth, from his point of view, but in the back of my mind, it was still a 'line.' I blushed, none-the-less, and felt my cheeks tingle and burn.
"So, do you like romance novels?" he asked.
If it was possible to blush more with your cheeks completely flushed, I am sure I accomplished it.
"I do love to read something quick, easy and entertaining at times," he replied, almost hinting that he also liked read aforementioned manuscripts.
It was my turn to look up and stare at him.
"Try Julia Quinn," he said to me, as matter of fact as any man might suggest a Tom Clancy novel to another man. "She has some historical romance that's pretty good."
I blinked, stunned.
I had never met a man who admitted to reading romance novels.
"Or you can try Nora Roberts if you prefer modern romances." The checker had started on my goods and asked me for my savings card, but I was too busy staring at the man to give her any of my attention. "That's where I started. And then, naturally, I had to move on to her J D Robb stories. She's not a bad writer for someone so prolific."
He kept talking. He went on and on until we were talking about all of our favorite novels, focusing on historical romance.
Little tidbits leaked out while we walked slowly out of the store. He attributed his prolonged bachelorhood to his blindness. I explained my early widowhood while saying how much I hated antiheroes and how tired I was of stories about 'rich rogues.'
"I'm definitely not rich," he said in response, and then he smiled. His smile was dangerous, and maybe even a little wild when coupled with his wall-eye. "But I could be a rogue if the situation called for it."
"Why would you want to be?" I asked.
"Because every woman wants one." His smile turned crooked. "If that wasn't true, there wouldn't be five billion romance novel covers with the word 'rogue' in the title."
I laughed. "You have a point."
"The point is to be just enough of a rogue to attract a woman, and enough of a man to accept that you can't act like one if you want to keep her."
"That was brilliant."
We exchanged email addresses, but I swear to you, I was in love with him by the time the Dial-A-Ride disabled bus came to pick him up and load his seven bags of chicken nuggets in.
I stood with my full cart, watching the minibus pull away from the store front and wondered if anyone had ever wrote a romance novel about an occasionally roguish, mostly blind man falling in love with an ordinary looking woman at a checkout counter…

I finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns today. This is the latest novel from Khaled Hosseini, the author of the phenomenally successful novel The Kite Runner. His follow up was not as clever of a story as his first book but is a great depiction of what it must have been like to be a woman growing up in Kabul in the last quarter of the 20th century. Not a very fun summer read, but a worthy read nonetheless.

A MAN who aimed to take on the 100km Peak District challenge to raise funds in tribute to his girlfriend's grandad, who has dementia, was forced to pull out three quarters of the way through due to medical reasons.
Tom Pinder, from Norton, took part in the Alzheimer's Society Challenge Event last month with the aim of covering the distance in about 30 hours.
The 24-year-old said: "I didn't know her Grandad Eric prior to him losing his memory, but the stories that are shared by the family are that he is a wonderful human being who enjoyed all aspects of his life.
"The Peak District challenge was brutal. I settled into a steady pace in the first 40km or so, but it was around this point that I started to get some pain in my shins and received medical attention from the great team that the organisers provided.
"I battled on until the pain in my shins became unbearable, and at that point I knew that I could do some serious damage to my health and well-being if I carried on."
Tom's girlfriend, Georgia said: "My grandad is someone that I have always looked up to due to his kind and lovely nature. Before he was diagnosed with dementia, he was a keen sportsman, captaining local cricket teams in the Scarborough district."
Chloe Beevers, from Alzheimer's Society Fundraising Challenge team, said: "The funds raised by our fantastic supporters like Tom help us to make a real difference for people affected by dementia."
Tom has raised about £700 for the Alzheimer's Society. You can still donate at justgiving.com/fundraising/tom-pinder-alzheimers

20 Mar Five tips for growing your business from our resident matchmaker, Quentin
If there's one thing I love, it's navigating the intricacies of omni-channel payment processing. Fortunately for the ladies, there's no rule about having to love just one thing.
And at EVO Payments we're not just about packing more power into your ePOS and web commerce solutions – we're also keen on helping our partners get out there and grow their businesses.
With that in mind, here are a few tips you can use to sow your business oats far and wide.
1. Make sure you're set to seize opportunities
You never know when and where your ship might come in. That's why I always have a splash of Barbarian aftershave stashed in my man-bag should I suddenly need that little extra bit of appeal.
It's also why, with EVO Payments, once your software is integrated, it's integrated all over the world – so if an opportunity comes along in a new market, you can move in and seize it without delay.
2. Don't lose momentum
If you've ever had a romantic dinner à deux interrupted by your mother insisting that you take the bins out, you'll understand that when you lose momentum, it can be hard to get it back.
At EVO Payments we think onboarding new clients should be smooth. And to ensure it is, we have a fully automated process that covers everything needed to get merchants up and running and loving your solution without any hassle or hitches – meaning you can get profitable relationships blossoming right off the bat.
3. Own your relationships
A brilliant wingperson knows when to get out of the way. They need to be charming enough to reflect well on you, but without hogging the limelight for themselves.
That's why we've designed our subscription-based pricing to match your own, meaning you can present the whole package to merchants as a single cost through a single, branded bill. That keeps life simple for them and gives you ownership over the relationship – both of which are great for your brand. And there's no better way to win new customers than to please the ones you've already got.
4. Focus on mutual interests
Olga was focused on growing her porcelain doll collection, I was focused on not allowing my phobia of dolls to become a full-blown psychosis. In short, it didn't work out.
The lesson is, it's hard to grow together unless you centre things around your mutual interests. In business, this means working with someone who takes the time to sit down and plan how to take both businesses further. As an organisation with both a global reach and a local presence in the UK, this is an area we're especially proud to specialise in.
5. Find new sources of revenue
One of the best things about a relationship is being introduced to new things. And though I don't hear from Olga anymore, I still listen to the 'Now That's What I Call Yodelling' CD she left behind.
When it comes to business, we like to make sure we give back to partners who make rewarding introductions, so we've designed commercial models that can boost your bottom line when you bring us new customers.

Tyre changes have made Formula One more exciting than ever, says Sauber chief
Peter Sauber, one of Formula One's most experienced team principals, has dismissed critics of a topsy-turvy season that has produced a record seven winners in seven grands prix.
Formula One stands accused of being little more than a lottery after the Canadian Grand Prix last Sunday, which saw Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel in the two leading cars, overtaken at first by Lewis Hamilton's McLaren in his push for victory, and then Romain Grosjean and Sergio Perez for two remaining podium places during the hectic final laps of the race.
Alonso and Vettel had been unable to manage their Pirelli tyres to the chequered flag with their Ferrari and Red Bull teams shocked by the sudden rate of disintegration in the final laps. Christian Horner,

Radical – A Morning With Phil Abbott
The last time dsc caught up with Radical Extreme Sportscars was
at last November's Race Car Live event at Brands Hatch, with
the LMP2 SR9 still destined for the future.
This time around
though the Deputy Editor sat down with Radical's co-founder
Phil Abbott, at the company's Peterborough headquarters, to
see just what is involved in building some of the fastest, most
extreme and well, radical, cars on earth.
First up was
a whistle-stop tour of the manufacturing plant, with the final assembly
hall busy with both new build cars and, at the far end of the shop,
the maintenance of the race cars run by the factory well underway.
The ten cars currently run by the factory team include SR8s campaigned
by Tim Greaves, Stuart Moseley and Phil Abbott himself (SR8 chassis
no 1), sitting alongside an SR3 raced by Jack (son of Binnie Motorsport
racer Allen) Timpany.
Abbott proudly
revealed that his car had run some 12,000 miles since rolling out
of the factory.
This shop has seen the completion of around 570 cars since the plant
opened in 1997, a mix of the firm's Clubsport, SR3, SR3 Turbo,
the Clubsport replacing SR4 and V8 engined SR8 machines.
The big seller for Radical has been the SR3, with over 350 cars
built and sold, with large sales in a wide variety of markets, including
Sweden (over 30 cars), Germany and Portugal (over 20 cars in each
market). The SR3 is an adaptable little beast with chassis fitted
with a range of Powertec prepared Suzuki bike engines ranging from
a 1300cc, 205bhp block through to a turbocharged 1500cc unit with
a mighty 330bhp on tap.
The V8-engined
SR8 is selling steadily: 35 cars have now been sold, with the latest
delivery now on its way to Malaysia to take part in the Sepang 12
Hours, the new owner having arrived at the factory just a week before
announcing his intention to campaign the car in a real endurance
In a small workshop
alongside the main assembly shed, the team responsible for engine
builds / rebuilds resides, a freshly rebuilt Suzuki Hayabusa 4 cylinder
unit for an SR3 sitting alongside a brand new Powertec V8 (the brand
for Radical's own engine programme).
The V8 is a
source of huge pride for Abbott - "A real in-house project"
- and was a major investment for a company as small as Radical.
"We can
build 100 engines a year here and the new V8 needs to pay back on
the investment we made. We've built 56 engines so far in 2
litre, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.8 litre formats for a wide range of applications
- from the racetrack through autograss, hillclimb, where we are
starting to really challenge the Nicholson McLaren-engined cars,
and a short-lived application in an MG Metro 6R4 for national rally
driver Andy Hall. The car though was immediately banned from competition."
The Powertec
V8 is a little jewel of an engine, 92 kilos in weight in 2.6 litre
form: it is reasonably priced, at £18,500 for the basic motor,
but with the end of production last year for Rover's evergreen
V8, could this engine find other market applications in specialist
sportscar manufacture?
has found, as many other companies before it, that the market is
one of feast or famine, hugely seasonal, and as such it needs careful
management to maintain production. "A new car could be built
and delivered in four weeks at the moment: by January that would
be 16 weeks. We are heavily wedded to the natural cycle of the racing
That places
a great deal of pressure on production planning, on component order
and supply from external suppliers (there are large numbers of Suzuki
bike engines sitting crated and waiting for the orders to arrive).
continues steadily, not only in the finishing shop but also in the
industrial unit alongside, in the machine room, where skilled engineers
undertake both sub-assembly of major components, and manufacture
- with both 21st century automatic machine tools and some good old
fashioned, hardcore industrial lathes and turners all employed.
result is some truly intricate components, many of them for the
SR9 programme, crafted from solid billets, with hubs, steering arms
and other works of automotive art in evidence during our visit,
including a number of upgraded components building on the lessons
so far learnt during the SR9 race and test programme.
At one end
of the shop is the factory's rolling road, an essential tool
in the rapid development we've seen in the last decade. An
SR3 Turbo was being prepared for a test as we observed, and later
could be heard (via the heavily silenced exhaust vents).
a shame we aren't running one of the V8s today that's
something special!" said Abbott with a smile on his face.
Several of
the engineers now employed by the car business have transferred
from Radical's predecessor, a company which manufactured exercise
equipment: a surprising level of transferable skills were on tap
in the move from exercise bikes to bike-engined sportscars.
That was essential
as, aside from the engine, springs, dampers, wheels and tyres, Radical's
cars are extremely bespoke machines. "Probably around 90%
of the car is built right here. From the start we were intending
to be a company that sourced most components externally, but almost
immediately we realized that to go in the direction we wanted, we
had to have more control."
The original
Radical, dubbed the Clubsport, was designed using the body for a
Sports 2000 car called a Robinson. It was born after Abbott and
co-founder of Radical Mick Hyde grew "tired of the political
c*** at the election of a new Chairman of the 750 MC. We were both
enjoying our racing and both realized that we wanted to go in a
similar direction. I'd blown up enough Imp engines to realize
that we needed to do something different and bike engines looked
like a very promising avenue.
Mick and I had been racing for a while – I actually started
my career with a company called Spyder, building chassis for Lotus
road cars, after leaving school at 15 (a poster still adorns Phil's
office wall).
"We decided
to build the car in November 1996, cut the first tubes in January
1997 and drove it for the first time on the 26th of March that same
Phil then cheerily
recalled several early racing exploits for the new Clubsports including
an incident at Paddock Hill Bend – immortalized in a framed
photograph where "Mick and I had a moment that would have
been avoided if we'd both followed the Highway Code!"
The designer
of that very first car, Nick Walford, has designed every Radical,
other than the SR9, since, and is a key member of the Radical family.
The rest is
history: demand for the immediately successful Clubsport model boomed
almost from the very beginning and in less than a decade since then
the product range has expanded rapidly. The Powertec engine range
too has seen rapid expansion and now "we need to consolidate.
The V8 project is still a huge commitment and we want to sell more
engines and more cars before we look at moving the product line
on much further."
selling about a third of our production as extreme road cars. Mick
anticipated the trackday market and we designed the SR3 to fit it
as a 2 seater, 8 inches wider than the Clubsport. We laid out the
original buck by me and our artist sitting on the floor of the workshop
and drawing the plan around us, we're both big guys and the
car will fit two six footers."
Mick Hyde though
has made it clear that he wishes to find a successor in the company
– the majority shareholder is now Tim Greaves, with Hyde and
Abbott each holding half of the remaining shares.
has been a great partner. Our skills have been wonderfully complimentary,
his marketing expertise has really given us an edge over the past
ten years and my engineering expertise has allowed us to keep up
with his strategies. Anyone looking to step into his shoes is going
to need to follow his lead, and fit well with Tim and myself in
having a real passion for the business, plus a fair amount of flexibility
in the future direction of the company and the investment required."
Across Ivatt
Way is another pair of factory units, this time employed to produce
the glass fibre bodywork for the SR3, 4 and 8 ranges.
Sitting at
the back of the shop though is the (very dusty) buck for the SR9,
close inspection revealing that the buck is still performing a useful
function: a new aero tweak is being tested using the buck as a basis.
Finally (on
the Ivatt Way site at least) there is a small unit dedicated to
the SR9 build and race project.
The LMP2 car went from a first conversation about a programme to
wheels down for the first (Rollcentre) car in just 14 months.
This is a programme
which has brought together expertise from around the UK motorsport
community. Peter Elleray's design is now being fettled by
a team of eight in the factory, that includes some Radical staff,
but they have been joined by others. During our visit there were
ex-Bentley and Chamberlain staff in evidence. In addition machine
shop and other specialist staff at the factory are actively involved
too and there is a sense of huge pride around the factory about
the concern's current flagship project.
the company's point of view, purely from a business sense,
we went a year too early," said Abbott, "but there was
the overwhelming factor that there was a window of opportunity that
we needed to seize if we wanted to be in this market."
With the LMP2
class maturing rapidly, Lola, Courage and Porsche are all established
players now and there are of course other pretenders to the LMP2
throne, both already racing and with programmes ready to go into
production if demand emerges.
Abbott though
is confident that the Radical programme has now got momentum: "With
the level of interest we currently have on both sides of the Atlantic,
I'll be disappointed if we don't have four more SR9s
racing next year (over and above the current four confirmed sales)."
The project
team is busily developing the car, learning the lessons of race
and test experience so far with the two active race cars. The turbo
pipe problems which punctuated the race debut at the Nurburgring
for the AER Turbo engined Team Bruichladdich car have been traced
and dealt with.
Famously the
SR9 has never seen the inside of a wind tunnel, but judging by the
results so far that hasn't held the design back at all.
"In fact
the SR9 is the only model we've ever made that hasn't
been in a tunnel and we will be putting the car in a tunnel at some
point next year. The main thing however is that Peter brought huge
experience to the project and he himself related that when they
put the Bentley into a tunnel it was already 97% right, £350,000
worth of wind tunnel work later it was 98% right – the difference
between the two programmes is that they had the £350,000!"
Sitting alongside
the Team Bruichladdich SR9 was the soon to be completed van der
Steur Racing car, its AER turbo engine awaiting some final components
from an external supplier to be delivered, before being mated to
the chassis. All the major elements were present though, final assembly
just days away.
team was given the option to get the car earlier in the year but
told us at the time that they were happy to see it in September."
With the Rollcentre
project now featuring a single car, the production programme has
changed through 2006 and "we told them they could have it
earlier, late June or early July. They decided to let us get some
running on the Bruichladdich car and incorporate any lessons learnt
and changes to the car into their chassis."
When the van
der Steur car vacates the premises to be shipped to the United States,
the assembly bay will be occupied by the second Bruichladdich car,
destined for a two car Le Mans Series effort.
Did Phil Abbott ever imagine he would be sitting here talking about
being at the helm of an effort producing a cutting edge Le Mans
racing prototype?
been a hell of a ten year ride but I'd liken it to motor racing,
when the light goes green you look straight ahead, look to the sides
and its all going to get very blurred."

Sure, binge watching shows with the convenience of blanket sleeves is the pretty cool, but recycling at Ole Miss is even cooler. Recycling also never gave anyone freshman 15 either, so it's certainly healthier. Recycling is one of the most convenient and easiest ways to do our part for the environment, so here are the 10 reasons recycling is cooler that Snuggies & Netflix.
1.) Last Fall, 153 tons of waste were generated from the Grove alone. (That's the weight of 14 empty O.U.T. Buses and a Prius being driven by a bear.)
2.) Recycling 1 aluminum can saves enough energy to run your television for 3 hours. (That mean it takes 8 cans to binge watch the latest season of your favorite show.)
3.) 45% of all food produced in the U.S. goes to waste, when it could be recycled into compost. (So don't get those 5 desserts until you're sure you want them all.)
4.) The most thrown away products in America include diapers, pens, razor blades, tires and aluminium- all of which can be to be recycled into other useful products. (Record for most money thrown away belongs to Transformers 4. The movie cost $593 million to make, and cannot be recycled into another useful product.)
5.) Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown way in the U.S. every year. (If you've seen M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening, you know that doesn't bode well for us.)
6.) A plastic bottle thrown into the landfill today won't decompose for another 500 years. (Just in time for The Rolling Stones' final farewell tour.)
7.) Aluminium cans can actually be recycled and put back into use at a grocery store in just about 2 months. (So make a mark your cans and hope they come back home to you.)
8.) Diners at the Rebel Market throw away more than 6 tons of food per month. That's enough food to feed 140 students per month. (Or enough to feed one cat for one month apparently… Looking at you Finnegan.)
9.) 14 billion pounds of garbage were dumped into the ocean last year. Most of it was plastic. (The remainder of which being unused jogger pants. They looked ridiculous. I mean really what were we thinking.)
10.) Recyclable items on campus are plastics #1 and #2 (look on the bottom of the item for the number,) aluminum cans, paper and e-waste. (If you want help recycling your pre-consumer food waste, email email@example.com)
In all seriousness, recycling is a very important step towards repairing our struggling environment. Recycling has the power to reduce ocean pollution, deforestation, and green house gas emissions. All it takes for recycling to make a difference is a little bit of environmental consciousness and responsible choices for our future. We can either hangout with the bottles we throw away for the rest of our lives, or give those materials new life on our shelves. Remember, the power is yours.

*We ask for safety for us, our church family, the church buildings and the seminary. Various ones of our church have been robbed as was Gayle, recently. This usually involves, purses, cellphones, bank and I.D. cards, and, of course, money. Many of these robberies occur on the public city buses and vans. Gayle also lost her agenda book with important info in it and also her prescription sunglasses. Our church building has been broken into several times recently, damaging the wooden doors and security doors.
*Please pray for us that people around us will always see Jesus in us. As we live our lives, deal with challenges and all types of people, our prayer is that we will always react in a biblical way.
*Pray for the salvation of unsaved husbands of church ladies and also the parents of children who come. We do have a good group of men in the church and for that, we are thankful.
*an executive decision that we must make concerning the seminary program for next year. We need wisdom in making the decision and wisdom in knowing how to approach the Brazilian pastors about the matter.
Praise God...
*that we have men qualified to be deacons and for the faithfulness of volunteer workers in the church.
*for the assistant pastor, Roniel (our faithful "Timothy" whom we have the opportunity to train in the ministry)

Locating a Sample Resume Letter that fits your employment situation is an important step. In this article, you will find the breakdown about a good sample resume letter and how to make it work for you. When looking for a good example,you should consider all aspects of your job history. Many people fail to look for one that fits who they are and what job they are going after. There are many ways to find a good fit an many places to look. First, I would to tell you about a major mistake that many people make when picking a sample resume letter. For some odd reason, people just copy and paste an example that they like. They do not even consider if it fits the job market they are in. People do not even consider making it fit the job they are trying to get. It may turn out to be a good piece of work,but does not fit the market. This process is like a puzzle,all the pieces must fit together. You need to take it one step at a time and compare and contrast. Also, people always look for the easy way out with a template. What they do not realize is that this process is very important.
Perhaps, youll see that a person was promoted to head a department in an organization in which you may be able to make a contribution. Or a contact in you network will connect you with someone who works for a company you might have an interest in. Sometimes in your job research youll uncover a company that is experiencing problems in an area in which you have a wealth of experience solving. Your resume letter should communicate enough information about your background and accomplishments that a full resume is not necessary. The overall goal of the resume letter is to motivate the person receiving the letter to agree to a short meeting.

Be unique, but not foolish. If everyone else is only sending their resume to jobs banks, make sure you do hard copy. Dont get cutesy with your cover resume letters - dont put your picture on it, dont send a video, dont tweet, etc. Be professional. Writing resume cover letters is what this article is all about. While HR plays a vital role in recruiting, hiring managers tend to really not care how they got the resume. They just want the good folks to come to work for them. My goal is to help inch that door open with techniques and tricks of the trade and show you how to make connections in companies where you know no one. Help you understand how most organizations work when it comes to employment practices. How to get past HR, how to get a hiring manager to fall in love with your resume by writing cover letters that are proven, how to avoid drowning in a sea of resumes.
Cover resume letters are often times the only page a recruiter looks at - if it is weak. They wont move on to the resume if the cover letter stinks so here are few things to remember: First, and most importantly, do not re-write your resume. If you resume is weak and you think you need to strengthen it dont do it in the cover letter. Re-write the resume. The best resume cover letters in the world cant cover for a poorly written resume. Second, always use a separate cover letter for each company and each person within the company. Tweak it for the audience and company. Using tools that are specifically designed to create custom resume cover letters can help you focus on that key audience.
Cover resume letters need to tell your story. When you submit a resume to an HR Department, the people who are looking at the resume already know what they are looking for. Managers and HR people have met, discussed and honed the skills needed for the job. Using cover resume letters can help make them understand why you are the employee of choice. But you must use a cover letter judiciously and with great precision. It could be your one time shot to make your point.

Barhamu or Baramu
Baramu peoples are known as aboriginal inhabitants of mid-hill regions of Nepal. Today they are found mostly in Gorkha and Tanahun. They are also found in Dhading, Makwanpur and Lalitpur districts. Their popular myth of origin connects them with Sunuwars, Surel, Jirel, Rais and Limbus, other indigenous nationalities of eastern Nepal. They also had Kipat land, communal land tenure system in the past. They have their own language that belongs to the Tibeto-Burman family. Though much destroyed due to interferences of powerful Hindu high caste neighbours, they still retain some distinct cultural traits. They are animists, but they are coerced to state Hinduism as their religion. Their social and religious practices resemble with those of Magars. Many Baramos trace their language and culture to Burma (Myanmar) and the Burmese. They are mostly engaged in farming. There are very few educated people among them. some of their children have started to attend schools, but failure and dropout rates are very high. Ninty percent of them are landless and have no other source of subsistence, except occassional wage labour. According to 2001 census, their population is 7,383. Baramos are believed as an endangered indigenous people.
Baram (or Baramu) is one of the indigenous minority nationalities scattered in different villages in the districts of Gorkha, Tanahu, Dhading, Lalitpur, Makwanpur and Nawalparasi. They, according to their mythology, call themselves offsprings of what they call five brothers: Surel, Sunuwar, Jirel, Rai (Khambu) and Limbu, and claim to have scattered to the west from the east (Gautam and Thapa Magar, 1994:27-28). They believe that they are the successors of ancient Kiratas. They claim that they had heard of their ancestors owning Kipat land of their own. Their population, according to the census of 2001, is 7,383.
Barams have their own mother tongue called Balkura. This language belongs to the Tibeto- Burman family of languages and is similar to the Magar language to a great extent (Rana, 2000). This language is in an endangered state. Although influenced by Hindu religion and culture, they have their own original culture and they are, in fact, animists or worshippers of nature. They christen their newborn on the fifth or eleventh day. Their relatives perform the christening ceremony. While performing Chewar (the ceremony of first haircut), the maternal uncle cuts the hair of his nephew in accordance with a special process. Marriage is done either with mutual consent or by arrangement. While asking for a girl, the boy's side offers a surkepung (a certain quality of spirit in a wooden pot called chauntho). If it is accepted, the next process of bringing thekipung starts. In this process the boy's side should bring roti (bread), rooster, some money in the form of gift, a basketful of fish, etc except spirit. In the actual marriage ceremony, when the bridegroom enters the house of the bride's parents, he slaughters a cock at the main gate. And the remaining processes are completed thereafter. While returning home afterwards the same ritual of slaughtering cock at the main gate is repeated. The bridegroom is asked to step over the slaughtered cock to enter the house and the remaining procedures follow (Gorkha Baram Association, BS2056). Cross-cousin marriage among Barams is equally acceptable. Many of their practices are similar to those of the Magars. Presence of jwain (husband of daughter or sister) is compulsory in funeral performances. They cleanse themselves of funeral pollution through the relatives.
Barams worship their family gods, Chandi, Bhume, forest gods and goddesses. They make use of dhamis and jhakris to perform worship rituals and to treat illnesses. They are basically farmers and they practise animal husbandry besides agriculture. They are very good at carpentry and masonry. Since agriculture and animal husbandry may not be sufficient for their subsistence they resort to daily wage work to earn their living.

Birdwatching excursion report Zuidlaardermeer 3 June 2018
Because Andrea was still too ill today to perform this bird excursion, I once again stroked my heart with my hand and also performed this excursion (Martin).
In this case the excursion was a family trip, the bird excursion was booked especially for grandpa. The company consisted of grandfather and grandmother, children and grandchildren, where the age of the children varied from stroller to adolescent age. Grandpa already had quite a bit of experience with bird watching. He started it in 1952, but had done less in recent years. For him it was also a feast of recognition. And I could tell that he had done this more often. Also the calls and singing of many birds were not strange to him. The rest of the company clearly had less experience, but also for them it was an instructive day.
The start of the birdwatching excursion
We had arranged at 10.00 in the parking lot of Paviljoen de Leine. And the first participants arrived in time. Since they had to come all the way from the west of the country and even from Germany it was for them an 'early from the feather' story. Especially the youth appeared to have had a hard time with it. Because there was already a good ride on it, it was decided to first use the Pavilion for coffee and a sanitary stop. After this we went on the road. This excursion was specifically selected for them because the hikes were not too long and there was also a buggy.
Rest in Leinwijk
What everyone immediately noticed was the relative peace and large bird richness in this area. Everywhere you could hear the different reed birds calling and singing. And the black Terns come here so close to you that you could almost touch them. The reed bunts also showed themselves beautifully. All the way through the telescope that is always a party.
Also nice was the cuckoo who halfway in a tree top sat down and quietly showed. This provided evidence that it was not a cuckoo clock that was heard, as someone thought. The general opinion of the participants was that it is not a really beautiful bird, but a rather boring gray one. Fortunately, there were also more colorful birds, such as different types of ducks and a redshank. The latter was already looking well foraging (looking for food). And of course the young coots did a ducks, which were present everywhere in the area, also well with the participants.
The lookout tower
A few garganey showed up well from the observation tower. And when a male harrier went reasonably close by, the party was complete. We checked for a moment whether the beavers could be seen, but unfortunately they were still lying on one ear in their castle.
After the observation tower we went back over the shell path along the Kikoman. Here a few barnacle geese came flying low. And at the end of the walk we saw a sparrow hawk, hunting for a songbird.
For the family it was enough at that time, and they let the other spots shoot at the Zuidlaardermeer. All in all, this (shortened) excursion also provided a nice species list, everyone turned out to be very satisfied and had learned a lot. And grandpa? He has the taste completely and wants to do this more often, right he has 😉

Novelette (16 000 words)
Genre(s): Trans*, Contemporary, Romance, Erotica
Published August 20th 2015 by Bey Deckard
Stuart Leandro knows he's washed up, both on the big screen, and in his marriage. Then, when things take an even bigger turn for the worse one night, he winds up blind drunk and lost in a foreign city.
Thankfully, someone's there to rescue him before his face ends up plastered all over the tabloids.
Wary of the motives of the reclusive stranger who brings the fading star into the quiet shelter of a hip but isolated loft, Stuart nonetheless can't deny his curiosity… Or his attraction. Tim is unlike anyone the actor has ever met, but underneath the mystery and quiet attempts at invisibility, Stuart discovers someone whose life has been intertwined with his own for years.
Neither could have predicted that Tim's act of kindness would lead to one of the most intense encounters of their lives—but, are they willing to weather the media storm their extraordinary relationship will cause?
My Rating: 4 of 4 Stars
(Based on Short&Light Read Category)
Bey Deckard has this talent for giving us short reads that pack a punch. This particular one, diverges from his usual path of strong, macho men who live life with passion and BDSM leanings. This one is actually sweet, yes it is sweet, and involves a transgender for the main squeeze. Not so different from all the rest out there you say, and you may be right. The element that makes this different is the author himself who just manages to get his strength into his characters and make them unforgettable.
The Complications of T is a title that plays on two words: Tim and Transgender. Tim is a trans and had gone through a complete transition so is more sure of himself and in what he wants and needs. He wants and needs Stuart but there is a but.
Stuart is a great actor but just like a lot of actors, fall victim to the need of money rather than craft. His movies are not directed nor written well. Sound familiar? I mean, I enjoy those films that make no sense yet get my heart pumping because of the action sequences and flash, boom, bangs. Thing is, Stuart thinks he is blasted left, right and center by a certain movie reviewer. Guess who that turns out to be?
This is a novelette of sixteen thousand or so words and in this short story, we see Stuart connect with Tim and himself. In five short days, make that six, he gets to finally face facts and may just now find the courage to get over himself. What he needs is a break, from Tim, get back on the right path and cultivate his craft.
Note: ARC provided by author on the very last minute for an honest review published, hopefully, on release day. Thankfully, it's a Deckard so here it is.
Happy Release Day, Bey, and please. Send the next one over?

It's that time of year again when the weather is unpredictable! As you are aware the Met Office is predicting snow and icy weather over the next few days.
If there is light snow or sleet causing some disruption to traffic we may keep registers open for a little longer so journeys can be safely planned.
In the event that the school is closed we will make the decision as early as possible and post a note on our website either by 2.30pm for the next day or by 7am in the morning of the day the school is closed. Staff will put snow work on the Class pages of the website and MyMaths for children to complete and of course we look forward to your photos and pictures of snowmen and snowangels.

Following a one-year hiatus, Indiana University's iconic "Light Totem" was re-lit on Saturday, June 21, as part of the university's annual Midsummer Night at the IU Art Museum. Fire dancers coupled with the high-energy funk of The Dynamics helped reign in the reinstallation of the 70-foot-tall sculpture, which returned after several structural repairs. Soon-to-retire IU Art Museum Director Heidi Gealt and "Light Totem" creator Rob Shakespeare, professor of lighting design in the Department of Theatre and Contemporary Dance, spurred hundreds of visitors to assist in the light show. Originally intended as a temporary tribute to the Museum's 25th anniversary in 2007, the "Light Totem" now stands as a permanent landmark for the entire community.

Good morning!
Today's card's inspiration comes from my daughter Ashley who is very artistic! She LOVES to draw and is really amazing with her creativity. I didn't discover my creative side until I became an adult - so I it really excites me to see her artistic abilities.
So, when I saw this Sara Kay stamp at an online store over Christmas, I had to get it. After coloring her in with Copics and using Basic Grey's Sugared line to make the card, I showed the card to Ashley and told her that this little girl reminded me of her.
Her response? She told me that that it was cute, BUT she didn't have hair like this, clothes like this or an easel exactly like this one either... Yep, she's 8 - at the literal phase in her childhood! LOL!
Gina has a couple of AMAZING Colored Pencil/OMS videos on StampTV this morning that you have GOT to check out! She is such a coloring goddess with those pencils - go see the videos and you'll see what I mean!
Have a great day!
