There is a story concerning how this area was originally too small and so a Shinto kami made it larger. The tale is known as the ‘kunibiki shinwa‘ (国引神話 – Land Pulling Myth) and can be found in the Izumo Fudoki.
The tale relates how the kami Yatsukamizu Omitsuno finds this place too small, comparing it to a strip of narrow cloth. And so he looks across the ocean and finds places whose land is in excess.
First he sees Silla, and taking land from it using a hoe and dragging it with rope to Izumo he ties it to Kozu, which becomes Kidzuki Cape. He ties the rope to Sahime Mountain, the rope became Sono Long Beach.
Next he took from Saki Country, and tying it to Taku is became Sada Country. Then was Yonami Country, which he took from and tied to Unami, which became Kurami Country. Finally he took from the Tsutsu Cape in Koshi Province. The land he tied to Izumo became Miho Cape, and the rope he used became Yomi Island, the rope he tied to Hikami High Mountain.
Now satisfied he shouted ‘Owe!’ which is apparently why one district in Izumo Province was called Ou. He then thrusts he staff into the ground on an earthern mound to the north-east of the District Office in Ou.4
The burial place of Izanami, known as Hibayama, is purported to be located on the boundry of this province and Hahaki. Additionally, the Ifuya Pass is located here. This being the fabled location for the entrance of Yomi. The kami known as Takehiratori is said to be the ancestor of the Royal Representatives here.3
Yayoi and Kofun Periods
This area has been shown to have had a unique culture all the way back in the Yayoi Period. Late Yayoi evidence of an Izumo Alliance which branched east from Izumo to the Hokuriku Region and north to the Oki Islands. In the Kofun Period, this unique culture left behind special distinct tombs, and can be traced up to the Nara Period.4
The area was once though as an area which rivalled the Yamato Court as a religious and politcal center. Overtime it was successivley controlled by the Sasaki, Yamana, Kyōgoku and Amako families until the 16th Century.
They claimed to originally have held the title of Omi, but this was usually left for Izumo Magistrate family. It is perhaps their ties to this family which made them state this claim. Reliable sources show us they held title muraji which was appropriate to their status.
It is likely they came from Izumo to Yamato during the 5th century as the Yamato Court arose here. Legends say they came directly, but archaeological evidence shows they slowly emmigrated leaving settlements in Mimasaka and Harima Province.5
The Izumo Fudoki, and other contemporary sources, talks of a possible vine known as the ‘frosty kurodazura’ (霜黒葛) however no known modern equivelant is known.1

On June 5th this year, the town of Ouse in Tasmania suffered severe floods that claimed the life of eighty one year old farmer Trevor Foster. A further two people remain missing.
A matter of hours before Ouse was deluged, Hydro Tasmania – a government owned electricity generator that operates multiple dams in the country – engaged in a cloud seeding program in an effort to instigate rainfall. An official statement on Hydro Tasmania’s website following the flood gives their reasons for this:
A cloud seeding flight was undertaken on Sunday morning, 5 June. It was targeting the Upper Derwent catchment, specifically Lake Echo, one of the storages that remained below its desired level. There were no flood warnings in effect for the Upper Derwent at the time of the flight.
This area received a substantial, but not excessive, amount of rain after Sunday morning’s flight.
Water in the Ouse River came from the overtopping of Lake Augusta due to the flood event. Lake Augusta is not in the catchment targeted by Sunday’s cloud seeding flight.
Hydro Tasmania’s cloud seeding program is currently on hold.
Hydro Tasmania’s response to the flood has been met with criticism by residents and figures from Government. The Weekly Times, an Australian print and online resource, reported on June 14th the level of fury amongst Tasmanian farmers.
Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association president Wayne Johnston said there was “white-hot anger” among producers near the Upper Derwent and Mersey-Forth catchments.
“A lot (of farmers) thought it was an act of nature, but to find out perhaps a government agency could have contributed to loss of infrastructure and livestock, they were livid and most of all disappointed,” Mr Johnson said.
This same article by The Weekly times also reported how Tasmania has been facing a growing energy crisis after dam levels in the country dropped to 16% in February. As a consequence of a receding water supply, Hydro Tasmania brought forward a planned cloud seeding program which began in April 2016, a month earlier than usual.
ABC in Australia reported back in March 2016 that storage levels at two of the state’s biggest catchments were likely to fall to less than 12% capacity:
Hydro Tasmania’s dam levels are at record lows at 15.5 per cent as the Basslink power cable remains out of action preventing it importing energy from the national grid.
Rainfall in the North West slowed the drain to 0.6 per cent in the past week but Lake Gordon, in the south west, and the Great Lake in the central highlands have not fared so well.
Lake Gordon’s storage is down to 8.3 per cent and Hydro Tasmania chief executive Steve Davy said he was not sure how much further they could draw down on the lake.
“Gordon Power Station can operate down to quite low levels but it would be operating at much much lower capacity as the levels reduce,” he said.
While Hydro Tasmania has tried to forecast different scenarios, Mr Davy said it had not operated at levels this low before.
“We’ll respond to what really happens and when we hit operating difficulties well start moderating our use then,” he said.
Hydro Tasmania is also using Great Lake sparingly as it is down to 11.4 per cent.
Two months later, ABC reported an upsurge in dam levels, a month after cloud seeding programs began:
Tasmania’s energy crisis has “turned the corner” as dam storages climb to 20 per cent, an increase of almost 4 per cent in seven days, Energy Minister Matthew Grooms says.
Mr Groom said the rains had provided a much-needed boost for the state.
“The strong inflows means that Hydro Tasmania has been able to begin the process of rebuilding storages from 12.8 per cent at the end of last month, to 20 per cent today,” he said.
“While there is no doubt we have turned the corner on this issue over recent weeks, there continues to be a lot of work to do in managing ongoing challenges.”
Earlier this month, The Mercury published an article querying the timing of the cloud seeding. Of note were comments by acting energy minister Peter Gutwein, who confirmed that the Government had received a preliminary report from Hydro Tasmania. But he did not provide any detail on what the report contained:
“The preliminary report notes that cloud seeding is a complex science and further analysis is required,” Mr Gutwein said.
“Hydro Tasmania and the Government understand the concerns of the community, which is why it is important we take the time needed to have this matter properly considered. We expect a final report from Hydro in the coming weeks.”
The wait for a final report to be received and made public continues as of writing. So the question remains about how much knowledge Hydro Tasmania had about the impending flood.
Farmer Scott Ashton-Jones gave his view to ABC shortly after the event:
“The extent to which cloud seeding has exaggerated the flood is still to be determined of course, but the evidence from previous cloud-seeding operations is that it works and therefore it will have exaggerated the flood to some extent,” he said.
“Hydro has always claimed positive results from cloud seeding.”
George Mills, a fellow farmer, told ABC in the same article that he had heard the cloud seeding flight on the Sunday morning – the day of the flood – and wondered what was happening:
“We want to understand whether the cloud seeding has helped to create this massive flood from the local rivers which we’ve never ever seen,” he said.
“If the Hydro have had something to do with that with their cloud seeding, well we want to understand that because in the future we need to have closer information.”
It seems the key to understanding the connection between the cloud seeding and the flood lies in weather warnings issued for regions of Tasmania when the cloud seeding took place.
The Bureau of Meteorology said this after the flood, again reported by ABC:
“The first media release alerting the Tasmanian community to likely impacts of the event was issued on Friday 3 June,” a weather bureau spokesperson said.
“Detailed updates have been provided directly to the local media throughout the event.”
The spokesperson said the first flood watch for Tasmania was issued at midday on Friday, with warnings following on Saturday.
“The first flood warnings were issued on Saturday afternoon: six to 12 hours before significant rain began to fall across northern Tasmania,” they said.
The same article concludes with:
The first minor flood warning for the Ouse and Derwent rivers was issued at 10:36pm on Sunday, after the cloud seeding flight took place.
The next day, unprecedented rainfall resulted in major flood warnings for seven Tasmanian rivers, including the Derwent and Ouse.
With all this information brought together, Hydro Tasmania clearly have a case to answer in their involvement in the flood and the resultant loss of life.
The release of a final report into the incident is expected by Hydro Tasmania soon. This blog will report any further news on the story as it occurs.

Redundant module used with power supply unit to assure 24 V supply. The redundant module has two separate inputs with diodes that separate the power supply units. In the event of a fault on the secondary side of power supply 1, the diode will prevent power supply 2 from being short circuited. A system protected against internal power supply faults is attained that is especially well-suited in processes where downtime is costly. The redundant module can also be used in systems in which operation of sensitive loads is to be assured. Input 1 is connected to the main power supply that normally supplies loads and, for example, the PLC. Input 2 is connected to a smaller power supply that is only connected to the sensitive load, in this case the PLC. In the event of a fault to the main power supply or short circuit of the loads, the PLC will be supplied by the smaller power supply and incorrect process terminations are avoided. The redundant module is also well-suited when you want to separate the power supply units from the loads so as to avoid returned voltage, such as from motors and batteries. YRM2.diode has 2 relay outputs that indicate if voltage drops/is zero. The relay opens in the event of faults and the LED turns off. YRM2 is especially well-suited for Dimension C, which does not have relay outputs. If more than 10 A is required per channel, two redundant modules are connected, one for each power supply. Both inputs must be connected on each module.

A private plane crash in Zimbabwe on September 29th claimed the lives of prominent Indian billionaire Harpal Randhawa and his 22-year-old son Amer, along with 4 other passengers. The Cessna 206 aircraft crashed near the Murowa Diamonds mine in southwestern Zimbabwe, where it was headed from Harare. Engine failure is suspected to be the cause behind the tragic accident.
About Harpal Randhawa
Harpal Randhawa, 60, was a mining magnate based in Zimbabwe. He owned RioZim, a diversified mining company that produces gold, coal, nickel and copper in the country.
Randhawa also founded the private equity firm GEM Holdings, which is currently valued at $4 billion. According to his friends, Randhawa was in the process of planning a new business venture in India.
The Indian billionaire was regarded as a humble and generous figure in Zimbabwe’s business circles. His investments and operations contributed significantly to the country’s mining sector.
Aamer Randhawa Was a Trained Pilot
Harpal Randhawa’s son Amer was a trained pilot, although he was traveling as a passenger on the doomed flight. Friends and family have lost two precious lives in the accident.
About the Plane Crash
The Cessna 206 aircraft was privately owned by RioZim. It took off from Harare at 6 AM on September 29th headed for the Murowa diamond mine.
Around 7:30-8 AM, when the plane was about 6 km away from the destination, it crashed due to suspected engine failure. All 6 passengers, including the Randhawas, were killed in the accident.
The police and local community are working together to manage the crash site. Harpal and Aamer Randhawa’s memorial service will take place on October 4th, 2023 in Harare.
I am deeply saddened with the passing of Harpal Randhawa, the owner of Rio Zim who died today in a plane crash in Zvishavane.
5 other people including his son who was also a pilot, but a passenger on this flight also died in the crash.

Reactions to the Tragic Incident
Friends, business partners and Zimbabwe’s leaders have expressed condolences after the plane crash. Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono, who was friends with Harpal Randhawa, wrote on social media: “I am deeply saddened with the passing of Harpal Randhawa…He was very generous with life advice, and very humble.”
The family of Harpal Randhawa who died with his son Amer on Friday in a plane crash, respectfully invite all his friends and associates to celebrate his life and that of his son Amer at a memorial service at Raintree on Wednesday the 4th of October, 2023.

Many highlighted Randhawa’s contributions to Zimbabwe’s economy through his mining operations and investments. His death along with son Aamer has left the business and mining communities in shock and grief.
The Randhawa family has suffered an immense personal tragedy. Harpal’s wife and Aamer’s mother are bereaved by the deaths of their loved ones.
About the Cessna 206
The Cessna 206 is a popular single-engine aircraft used for commercial air service and personal flights. It can carry up to 6 passengers.
The aircraft was first manufactured in 1964 and production continued till 1986. It was re-introduced in 1998 and around 10,000 units have been built to date.
The Cessna 206 is known for its reliability and ability to take off and land on short runways. Engine failure on the aircraft is rare, making the Zimbabwe crash unusual.
Aviation experts will thoroughly investigate the technical causes behind the accident that led to 6 fatalities including the prominent Randhawas.

Warnings Grow Louder Over Cryptocurrency As Valuations Soar
Recently, Jamie Dimon called bitcoin a fraud” and bitcoin markets saw a correction the following day stemming from Chinese exchange closures. Chinese cryptocurrency exchanges received formal notice about shutdowns late in the week, and it’s likely that this will continue to push against the market, which had been on the rise throughout the year. Extra points are given for sites to buy bitcoin with paypal, as many users request this feature. Exchanges sometimes have limits on how much currency you can purchase and own.
For example, a which is a mining pool started to gain market share, holding a 51% share of Bitcoin mining. Historically, Bitcoins have been a great investment. Bitcoin has value as a means of exchange; alternate cryptocurrencies can either improve on the Bitcoin model, or have another usage that creates value, such as Ether.
NEO(NEO) spent the week with a positive sentiment, starting with the effect of a blockchain conference in Seoul last week. This is what solely determines if a cryptocurrency has the potential for the mid to long term. Fraud-proof: When cryptocurrency is made, all securely confirmed transactions of the users are stored and saved in a public ledger.
Investors should keep in mind that even if the broader cryptocurrency market crashes, some of these digital assets could hold up very well. 1.General cryptocurrency and digital assets market analysis (by quarter, year). As for cryptocurrency – that may be something that the governments will try to stop in the future since they can’t tax the transactions as it is now.
• Instant Settlement: Blockchain is the primary and most important reason why cryptocurrency has its value and place in market It’s easily accessible usability is the reason behind why cryptocurrency is in high demand. Last week showed once again that cryptocurrency markets are not moving as mature asset classes do, and there is still potential for sharp price changes.
A Japanese internet giant getting involved in cryptocurrency mining is rather unusual. Not only that but in the midst of political uncertainty and as the traditional market continues to plummet , investors are looking for safe-haven properties that are often provided by gold and now by cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Some thefts in Bitcoin’s history, although severe and damaging to Bitcoin users, did not involve the theft of over one thousand bitcoins. Describing the properties of cryptocurrencies we need to separate between transactional and monetary properties. Don’t be constricted in your bitcoin trading by only having buy and hold trading strategies available to you.
Transaction processing is a new trend in the cryptocurrency market. Earlier this week the state-owned news publication of China, Xinhua, revealed that the Chinese government’s chief concern has to do with criminal activities leveraging cryptocurrencies. Most of these exchanges require you to deposit Bitcoin or Ether to start trading.
The first cryptocurrency was Bitcoin. To understand the revolutionary impact of cryptocurrencies you need to consider both properties. Earlier this week, Dunamu, the operator of Kakao’s KakaoStock, announced the launch of South Korean cryptocurrency exchange, UpBit which has been created in partnership with leading cryptocurrency trading platform Bittrex.
As hashrates accelerated, largely attributed to the development of mining data centres and cloud mining, the complexities of the puzzles have also increased, which left miners requiring even faster hashrates that an individual miner with a home system would unlikely be able to achieve. Bitcoin recovered in afternoon trading from its worst levels to trade 3 percent lower near $5,410, still up more than 5 times in price for the year, according to CoinDesk.
We saw this happen just recently in the Ethereum market, another cryptocurrency. The digital currency now has a market capitalization of more than $90 billion. Since the success of Bitcoin, there have been over 3,000 other virtual currencies introduced with varying degrees of success and popularity such as Ethereum , Litecoin, Monero and Dash.
Cryptocurrency mining is certainly different to mining for commodities such as gold and silver , in that cryptocurrency mining does not deliver a physical asset and could be compared more closely to investing in the commodities futures markets than physicals. CoinTracking – Cryptocurrencies balance tracker. Cryptocurrency can’t be counterfeited and once sent, the transaction cannot be reversed like you can stop payment on a check or request a chargeback like you can with a credit card payment.
Or in the case of cryptocurrencies, FA would include factors such as the project’s technology and product, the strength of the development team, support from the community, and etc. While the worst affected country is the US with 18.7% of websites engaged in using in-browser cryptocurrency mining scripts coming from the US.
The hashrate is a measure of the power of the miner’s hardware and reflects the frequency of hash function computation per second. For example, if you have 10 bitcoins in your wallet and send 7 to someone else, that transaction goes in the ledger, and everyone knows that your wallet only has 3 bitcoins now.

I snapped the photo below last summer of high bush cranberry in the process of ripening. Blue skies and summer days!
The photo below shows part of an afternoon pick when my daughter and I were out on the bicycles - a basket of high bush cranberry on the left, staghorn sumac on the right of the bars. Where I live wild fruit is very abundant and you can pick a lot very quickly.
I shot the photo below of High bush cranberry in bloom and full splendor early June at Chapman's Landing, Nipissing.
The Native people used many parts of high bush cranberry for both food and medicine and we can imagine that they shared this wisdom with the white settlers.
Settlers used the berries mainly for jelly and juice, and these continue to be the main uses of the fruit today. The berries can also be used in pies, sauces, liqueurs, and wine. Each berry has a large, heart shaped seed in the centre, making it more suited for use as a processed fruit rather than fresh (1). I have dried the berries in my dehydrator with good success. I add them to hot teas or just snack on them dried. The berries are high in vitamin C and were eaten fresh or made into pemmican. The bright red fruit was also used for ink and a dye for clothing.
"Medicinally, preparations of the fruit have been used as an astringent to treat swollen glands. The bark and leaves, which contain a bitter tasting chemical called viburnine, were boiled into teas and used as sedatives and pain relievers." (1)
"The plants are tolerant of a wide variety of soil types, but do best where the soil is consistently moist and well-drained; they may grow best in soil that is slightly acidic (pH 6.0-6.5). Because the fibrous roots of this shrub lie near the soil surface, cultivation for weeds should be shallow, and the use of mulch will be beneficial. Low to medium-high soil fertility levels are acceptable. A yearly application of compost or well-rotted manure will maintain growth and fruit yields. Heavy applications of nitrogen fertilizers will encourage soft sucker growth and fewer flowers. The plants tolerate shade, but flowering, fruiting and foliage colour will be more striking on those plants exposed to full sunshine."(2).

Hi everyone! So happy to see you here! I finally had some time to color this beautiful sprig included in the Altenew Weekend Doodles stamp set and to turn it into a card!
I used my copics to color the image and went for a purple-ish look. Here’s a snap of all the colors I used.
This R81-R83-R85-R89 must be my new favorite. And if you look closer you’ll see little dots on the flowers. These were made with the number 0 copic marker and I love the movement and ethereal look it gives to the flowers.
I die cut the image with the matching dies and also die cut a panel using the Altenew Watercolor Stripes cover die and white cardstock. I adhered it on top of another panel made with patterned paper. This particular paper matched the colors of the leaves and comes from an older Sizzix paper pad.
I added a few white and teal splatters and foam mounted the beautiful brunch with foam squares.
I continued by coloring a piece of white cardstock with the same R copic combo to give it an ombre look. I die cut the word ‘hugs’ out of it and foam mounted it onto the panel.
I adhered the panel onto an A2 card base and added a few matching sequins here and there to accent.
I’m entering this to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Bright Colors Inspiration Moodboard.
Thank you all for stopping by! Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you soon!

Bill O’Reilly, not a man who is known for his abundant compassion, has said on his blog that he fears that Lindsay Lohan will eventually kill herself through her excessive party girl lifestyle.
In his blog on Thursday the controversial, FOX, political commentator posted a blog saying “We should all pray for this woman, Lindsay Lohan. Her clock is ticking.”
He compared her apparent downward spiral to that to celebrity demises which were commonly seen during the 1960s suggesting that Lohan would follow in the same path as these great late stars.
He said “Back in the late 1960s, it seemed like every few weeks another rock star would drop dead. The big three, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison of the Doors, all died in their 20's from alcohol and drug related causes. Even bigger names like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe abused themselves into early deaths.”
The veteran journalist spoke about his own experiences reporting on a Rolling Stones concert in 1979. He said that many of the stars on stage were intoxicated and much of the audience was treated for “gross intoxication”. He questions if anything has changed over the years.
O’Reilly went on to described Lohan’s career which started when she was just 11-years-old with the movies “The Parent Trap”. Now 23 he says she “is out of control”. He spoke about her two “Driving under the Influence” charges and also how “she has been used by a number of people for a long time”, namely her parents who profited from her movie success.
The obviously concerned commentator described her behavior over the last number of years as “looking lost and confused.”
This blog post comes just days after Lohan’s, as she calls him, “ex-father” appeared on CBS’s “The Early Show” voicing concerns that one of the main reasons that Lohan needs to be entered into rehab is because of her consumption of prescribed medication. O’Reilly similarly commented that “there’s only so much the justice system can do” when someone is in this kind of self-destruct cycle.
Last week Judge Marsha Revel ordered Lohan to wear a SCRAM ankle bracelet and submit drug and tests at least once a week but this will not prevent Lohan from taking prescription medication.
Who will save the young starlet? In despair he said “If history is any indicator, the answer is no one. Elvis had a big entourage around him and so did Michael Jackson. Both men perished with doctors actually assisting them.”
He concluded that the only person who can help Lohan is herself but she will have to wise up and take charge. On the other hand he said “some people want to die and slowly kill themselves.”
“Millions of American parents anguish over the sons and daughters who are caught in the vicious cycle of addiction,” said O’Reilly. “Therapy, rehab, and interventions all have little chance of success unless the addicted person uses their free will to fight their disease.”

I made a start with this great kit and started with the undercarriage and ripper assembly. The parts go together very well and the ripper is engineered very nicely! it is fully workable and will be detailed with hoses later on.
Here are some pics of the undercarriage + ripper:
And some closeups of the ripper:
note the bolts on the head of the hydraulic cylinders, those had to be cut of the sprue and glued to the cylinder manually, they are not casted within the bigger part. Great feture of MENG Model because it gives great detail!
The yellowish stuff is putty and was drying at that moment.
Im continuing with the cab assembly, more later this week I hope!August 16, 2015 at 4:18 pm #12182
The build of this great kit has continued with the interior and drive train assembly. Lets start off with the interior and my experiences.
The interior parts have great detail and very crisp casting. The following two pictures show the interior parts dryfitted:
the only downside to the interior are the ejector pins on the armor plates (wall of the cabin). I found the ejector pins easily removed with a sharp blade by scraping them out of the parts, and sanding them afterwards. Please see the following pictures, you can see where the pins were by noting the sanded surface:
On the left panel in the above picture you can see two remaining ejector pins, but they will be invisible after assembly that’s why I left them.
All the exterior armor panels:
Next up is the roof / ceiling, same issue here, pinmarks. again removed with a sharp blade:
The roof! nice detail! Hatch can be opened for the Israeli version a machine gun will be mounted. But im building the US version (M1070 & M1000 Cargo) so no weaponry for me unfortunately….
We continue with the drivetrain assembly. I started with the running gear assembly:
As you can see, it looks great but some filling is needed on the large seam over the top of the running gear.
A detail shot of the underside:
Note the extra thick glue I used as filler. sanding required later off course!
The sprocket wheels! the casting is superb crisp!
Now we start with the tracks. I struggled with them in the beginning but here’s how I did it (and found the fastest way)
You start off with three parts per track link, part C1 (right top of the pic) part C2 (left top of the pic) and part C3 (bottom of the pic):
Next we connect some C1 parts, just put them over eachother, no glue needed and put one C2 parts at the end of you trail, this is to connect the trails later!
Next, glue parts C2 one by one (so do NOT glue all the tips in advance!) to parts C1.
don’t mind the exact location, you will change this later. ow yeah, forgot to mention, I used normal Revell glue, no super glue as you want to be able to adjust later on.
Note you left the LAST C2 piece un-glued so you can connect the separate trails later on!
after checking the first following picture, notice that you do not need to clean up the entire C1 & C2 part, just one side (right side in this picture) the rest will remain covered when the tracks are completed. This saves you a lot of time cleaning parts C1 & C2
Now is the time to glue parts C3 to the trail! at this moment you want to be able to adjust the parts C1 & C2 a bit to fit, thats why I did not use super glue!
One completed track set of 43 tracks! you can wind them around the drive train and glue the final piece to fix it.
I’ll leave them off for easy painting
The process goes quicker as you might think at first, keep that in mind (-:
Now you think, well great I got them together and they will fit great on the drivetrain. Unfortunately the tracks are a little bit to loose when using 43 tracks and to narrow (cant get them together) with 42 links….
You can see it the best on this picture, the tracks right of the sprocket wheel should be tighter and NOT touch the running gear.
I guess thats something we have to deal with till some aftermarket tracks come out with the right size… So this is a mistake by Meng Model, and its a crucial one!
That was it for now.
In the next update I hope to show you some painted interior and finished assembly of the complete model.
Let me know if you have any questions!August 16, 2015 at 4:21 pm #12183
After building the interior it was time to paint the interior. After painting the interior I can continue assembling the D9R dozer.
The next two pictures show the painted and partially assembled interior:
The next picture shows the instrument panel of the D9R. This panel is painted in the base color first and a decal is applied after. The decal is very difficult to place 100% correctly on the very uneven surface with all the buttons and such. I used decal softner and setter but did not manage to apply is 100% correct:
Next up is the dozer blade. The assembly was very easy and straight forward.
Here you’ll see some loose parts yet to be glued to the model such as lights, hydraulic system and the exhaust.
The drive train from the last update got some filler and the seam are gone! takes a little time but are highly visible after finished so its neccesary:
Finally the dryfit to end this build log parts.
Please note that this is a dryfit so not everything is straight and tight.
Next up is the weathering of the interior so we can close the cabin and continue with the rest of the D9R!August 16, 2015 at 4:32 pm #12184
Another update! Today Im gonna show you guys the weathered and finished interior and the last building pictures, that means the assembly of the D9R is done! I can now move on to painting, decaling and weathering the D9R Doobi!
I bet the weathering process is gonna be challenging but fun and I can learn from it.
Here are some pictures of the final assembly:
Now on to the interior! I pretty happy with the result although is was a very easy process. Here is what I did:
1. Satin coat over the paint job
2. Applying Decals
3. Simulating chipped paint with black Vallejo paint:
– I did this by taking a sponge, cut off a small piece (about 5 – 10 mm square), dip it in the paint
– dip it off on a paper towel until very little comes of (this you must practice and vary to find the best result! its very easy!)
– gently tip the model where chipped paint could be seen in real life, like edges etc.
– Just practice on some plastic and you’ll see how easy this process is.
4. Take a dark grey colored oil wash and put dots on the interior panels, let it dry for about 15 mins and with a dipped of brush with white spirit, strike down until the desired result is acquired. Be sure to not wet your brush to much as you will remove all the oil wash with one strike! again, practice with this!
5. Apply Iraqi sand colored pigments on all horizontal surfaces of the interior. How much is your call, do you want it to be very visible, or just a little? I went for pretty much!
6. Apply some dots of a darker color pigment on the horizontal surfaces to break the Iraqi sand color and get a more realistic result. be careful not to overdo this!
7. Final step! wet the horizontal surfaces roughly with white spirit to make the pigments spread and get more realistic results. This also fixes the pigments (you still should not touch them when dried!) Be sure to carefully dip the wet brush on the pigments and make a dipping movement and not strike to much.
8. you’re pigments start to disappear but will return way better when the white spirit is dried! so do not worry 🙂
Note how I used pigments in the window sills as well! sand could reach everywhere so keep that in mind!
Here’s the pictures:
And finally, a shot from outside through the entry door!
I hope you guys liked it! let me know if you have any suggestions or questions! I’ll be glad to reply!

Frenchy, a member of Armorama showed me some pictures of a D9R with some improvised armor. The armor exists of bastion cages and seems to be made on the spot by the users of the D9R. Below is a small gallery with the pictures that show the addon armor: (All credit goes to the owner of these pictures)
Based on these pictures provided by Frenchy (Thanks again!) I went to work and created the following cage:
Please notice that the cage is dryfitted and the two metal rods are just to put the cage in place for dryfit.
When everything is painted and weathered I will fix the cage to the D9R the same way as seen in the pictures from the above gallery
So, that was the cage, on to the first step of painting this Dozer. After seeing pictures of some heavy weathered D9R’s I realized I will need some heavy chipping. This lead me to the chipping fluid / chipping medium solution based on the hairspray method. I used Vallejo’s Chipping Medium product.
The way this goes is that you first apply the bare steel color:
Next up is securing the steel color with a matte or satin clear coat (I have read not to use gloss coat!)
After the clear coat you’re supposed to apply the chipping medium product by Vallejo or the Chipping Fluid product by AK Interactive.
The product can be applied by brush or by airbrush, I used the airbrush and thinned the Chipping Medium with water to be able to spray it nicely with my airbrush, I have not used AK’s chipping fluid so I can’t talk about that.
I have no pictures of this since you wont notice a difference from the previous four pics.
Now you have to think, what color comes next? looking at reference pics of a D9R I noticed a lot of rust, especially on the lower side of the body, so the rust color is added in between the steel color and the sand color (final color). This means we have to chip two layers of paint!
I read that after the chipping fluid’s you should use acrylic paints! so be sure to not use oil based paints as the result might not be what you expected!
Because we work with fairly big surfaces here we want to create some shades in the rust color and break the flat look. I did this by first applying Vallejo 71080 Rust over the whole surface, after the basic rust color I added shades of 71069 Rust (more metallic) and 71029 Dark Earth to the model. Apply the last two colors in random spots over your basic rust color. When chips become visible trough the sand color which is added later, you will see different tones of rust color! I did this with the steel color as well!
In the above picture I added the rust color to the lower side of the D9R, I do not want visible bare steel on the cabin and roof because I could not find this on reference pictures.
That means we have two layers of chipping on the lower side of the hull, and only one layer on the top side of the hull.
Please notice the paint is still wet here, as soon as the paint becomes “touch”-dry you should start the chipping! not any later! the more you let the paint dry past that point the harder it gets to chip the paint of!
The chipping is done with a hard shorthaired brush (I took an old brush and cut it up till a few mm’s of hair). You moisten the brush and dip, scratch etc the rust paint layer. You will notice you can just chip off the paint like it could be done in real life! Chip the steel layer visible on spots where they would appear in real life, again, base this on reference pictures and please notice that your paint is still drying so keep the work up as chipping will become harder because of drying of the paint.
In my situation the rust color was visible over the steel color after chipping like a oil wash, to fix this use a larger soft haired brush and clean water and stroke the washy rust color off until you’ll get your shiny steel color! so basically you just “clean” your surfaces with a soft brush and water, unless you want the wash effect off course!
Note the steel spots visible are achieved with a brush and the scratches are achieve with a plier. When using the plier be sure not to put too much pressure on the plier as you do not want to damage the steel colored layer so the model plastic becomes visible! (this is where the clear coat is for in between)
Also keep in mind that you can always adjust the chips later by drybrushing or chipping by hand with a fine brush. So dont worry too much if you missed a spot and the paint already too much!
next up are more pictures of the same steps (steel color, flat coat, chipping fluid, rust color, chipping result:
The running gear:
The dozer blade is up next!
That were all the big parts with the first layer chipped. In the next update I will cover the second and last layer, the sand color!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I’ll be happy to help you out!
Thanks for watching and happy modelling!August 16, 2015 at 4:50 pm #12196
Sorry for the wait guys! but I have been very busy the last few months.
Fortunately the holidays gave me some time to continue this beautiful Meng D9R Bulldozer build!
I have managed to add the second and last chipping layer! the Sand color!
In the next few pictures you will see the first part:
You might wonder why I only did the bottom and did not yet paint the rest sand color as well. The reason behind this is that the chipping fluid only works if the paint is not yet completely dry. So when I would paint the whole D9R Dozer in one go, I would be short on time to chip everything! More info on this process can be found in my previous update (above)
So take it easy and do not outrun yourself! same goes for the running gear, paint the first half, chip it and then do the rest:
After a hour or two, I got this result:
Looks pretty difficult to achieve right!? well it takes some patience and time but it is not as difficult as it looks!
here are some more angles:
Some detail shots!
That was the heavy chipping! jeey!
Next up is detail painting and further weathering this beast of a vehicle!
Im planning on using oils and pigments to further weather this Bulldozer.
If you have ANY questions / or comments feel free to ask and I’d be happy to help you out.
Thanks for watching people!

Water harvesting made compulsory for Agra RO plants
Reverse osmosis (RO) plants in Agra should install water harvesting systems within three days or face closure, a top district official said Tuesday.
Agra District Magistrate Zuher Bin Sagir asked the plant operators to comply with all the norms and also get clearance from appropriate departments to run the plants.
Sagir said if the RO plants installed water harvesting systems most of the water now being wasted will be recycled and underground reserves recharged.
Industry sources in Agra said there were close to 500 RO plants operating in the city.

Most states allow concealed carry so the emphasis is on small, concealable guns. The 9mm excels in this area. So the general consensus is that the 9mm with modern ammunition is fine for most applications where a automatic handgun makes sense. If you want more power than the 9mm, the .40 doesn't make much sense, because it is such a marginal step. Arguably the .45 is just the same. Not everyone is enamored by the .45 these days either. Neither the .40 nor the .45 offer enough of an increase in performance over the 9mm for me to consider them worth the decrease in capacity and the increase in weapon size and ammunition cost. So the .40 is taking a hit in popularity because a lot of people are asking what some of us have been asking since its inception, which is "meh, why bother?" Meanwhile the 10mm is enjoying a, increase in popularity because it represents an appreciable increase in performance over the traditional auto pistol cartridges. If you want real performance from your automatic handgun, you get a 10mm Auto, otherwise, The Nine is fine.

There is reason to believe that the Norwegian Lundehund is one of the rarest breeds in the world. These dogs were bred in Norway to hunt Atlantic puffins, which came under protection in the 19th century, and therefore, the breed fell out of favor. As a result, after the Second World War, only five representatives of this breed remained. Thank God, her recovery gradually began, which is proceeding extremely slowly. But today the situation is no longer so catastrophic and there are now about 1500 individuals of these unique dogs all over the world. It is clear that it is extremely difficult to acquire them.
The Norwegian Lundehund is a wonderful breed with many unique characteristics. For example, this dog has six toes on each leg, it is able to bend their head back to the very shoulders, and it can close its ears, so as to protect it from water and dirt, and finally, it can stretch its front legs to the sides in the same way. how a person does it. All these unusual abilities allowed dogs of this breed to successfully hunt on cliffs and on any of the most difficult terrains.
The Norwegian Lundehund is a lively, friendly and playful breed that is usually classified as primitive. The Norwegian Lundehund protects well its family and its territory. He is alert, cautious, suspicious of strangers and will notify you of any danger or suspicious sounds with loud barks. Gets along well with children and dogs who grew up with him in the same house. The Norwegian Lundehund must definitely be busy with something; out of boredom, the dog can start to spoil the surrounding objects. This is a wonderful breed, cheerful and affectionate, and therefore excellent companions are made from these dogs. Not recommended for beginners or inexperienced dog breeders.
Wool and care
The Norwegian Lundehund is dressed in two layers of wool. The outer layer is short, dense and rough; around the neck, tail and on the dorsum of the hind legs up to the hock joint – thicker and richer. The undercoat is thick and soft, reminiscent of felt. Molting is seasonal and quite active. To remove dead and loose hair, weekly brushing is recommended. The dog’s coat requires special attention during seasonal shedding. Since the coat of the Norwegian Lundehund is self-cleaning, you should only bathe your dog when absolutely necessary. This breed is characterized by a rather serious disease, which is called Lundehund’s Syndrome. These are special digestive problems that can be expensive to treat.
The Norwegian Lundehund is stubborn, intractable, requires management and can be quite difficult to control, so this breed needs early socialization and training in the basics of obedience. It is extremely difficult to teach the Norwegian Lundehund to maintain cleanliness in the house, so at first it is strongly recommended to keep the puppy in a special box. However, it must be said that some dogs of this breed do not fully understand what exactly is required of them. Training should be conducted with firmness, fairness and consistency.
Norwegian Lundehund is not recommended for apartment living. A dog of this breed needs a large, securely fenced yard or farm, where it will have enough space for free walks and games with members of its family.

So I put up a teaser pic of my Multistrada project in Randall's MTS thread and a couple people said I should start a new thread about it. I planned on waiting until I was finished...but they talked me into it...so here it is.
I'll update it as progress occurs.
I’ve had my 2004 Multistrada 1000DS for about 2 years, and have put about 12,000 miles on it…mainly from commuting year round. I live in Seattle, so this means I probably ride more in the rain then in the sun.
I really love the bike, but as time went on I really wanted another naked bike (I used to have a 2001 Monster 900)…but I didn’t want to pay for a new one!
That, coupled with my wife getting a new car which means I don’t have to
commute on the MTS anymore, convinced me to turn the Multi into a naked bike.
I figure I’ll get the comfortable MTS seating position, combined with the awesome look of a naked sportbike. What's not to love?!
Here’s a before picture. I’d done a few mods…namely exhaust, levers, CRG mirrors, pressure plate (not shown), new wind screen, and probably a few more I can’t remember. IMO a very nice MTS...removing the mirrors and adding a dark screen really helps with the looks.
I first thought doing this a while back when I saw Nick’s (motogpfan) modded Multi on the DML. I didn’t really want the motard style, but I really liked the overall look. http://www.duccutters.com/NickCzerok-NakedMultiStrata.tpl
Then I saw this bike…and knew I had to transform mine.
I don’t like everything on this bike…but again I really like the overall theme/look.http://www.duccutters.com/cianr-MultiRacer.tpl
So the first step was to tear everything down. Here’s the bike sans fairings. It gives a hint of how it will look when finished. I really think the bike looks tough without all the fairings.
All of the electronics on the MTS hang off the left side of the frame. So the first thing to do is relocate all of that. I am putting all of the electrics in the air box, which means I have to switch over to pod filters. Nick (motogpfan) gave me some good direction on this, as it is how he did his. Nick really is a great guy...very helpful.
The battery will be located under the seat. Here’s a shot of a cardboard mock-up I made. I’m currently getting a nice Aluminum one fabricated. Nick put his battery in the airbox, which I tried. The wiring harness is very stiff though, and I was having a tough time getting it to work. So...under the seat it will go. I will also put my Powercard in there which will make tuning it a bit easier than if it was in the airbox.
Initially I was going to just leave all the extra tabs on the frame…using a couple of them to mount the oil cooler above the horizontal cylinder. I even made the oil cooler mounting brackets. They were to be powdercoated so they’d look better than this pic:
BUT, the more I looked at it the more I thought the tabs had to go. A discussion with Dave R of Ducati Seattle a few weeks ago confirmed this when he admitted he wished he would have ground the brackets off of his SBK turned Monster he did a while back. After removing the triples for powdercoating I figured it was only like 4 more bolts to take off the whole frame.
So, I began the process of removing the frame so I could grind the brackets…and get it powdercoated a cool color. In the engineering profession we call the process of a job slowly becoming more involved “scope creep"! I am definitely experiencing scope creep!
Minus the front end:
Removing the frame took a bit more effort than I originally thought.
Turns out I had to remove the swingarm mount bolt, as well as the throttle bodies. A guy from our local club is rebuilding his MTS after a crash, and gave me some pointers…and moral support!! My dad had welded me up this engine stand back when I had my Monster…came in handy again!
Here’s where the bike sits today:
Frame…ready for powdercoat. All of the brackets have been ground off. I was going to have a couple tabs welded on for the oil cooler...but I looked at a Hypermotard yesterday at Ducati Seattle, and I'm now going to get a valve inspection plate from a Hyper or an M1000 and just mount the oil cooler to that. Nice and simple.
I think I passed the point of no return a while ago. There are a LOT of parts laying around my garage!!
Finally...here’s a teaser shot of my exhaust. It will be a 2-1 system. The can is baffled and for an R6...made by Competition Werkes
in Oregon. The angle here is wrong…but the can slides over the header perfectly…I just have to get a short piece welded on to reposition it a bit. Thanks again to Dave R for showing me a bike in his warehouse with this exhaust. I was sold.
I dropped the tank off for bodywork and paint yesterday, and I expect to drop off the frame, rims, triples, and a couple other small parts for powdercoat in the next couple weeks. Dave R also hooked me up with a guy from Boeing who makes custom moto parts on the side...he stopped by yesterday and will be making me custom brackets for the taillight and gauges. The battery box fabrication is also in progress.
It really is nice having a dealer like Dave R (Ducati Seattle) around. He's very
helpful, and has a lot of contacts in the local moto scene for fabrication...even though his shop isn't making much $$ from this project since I'm doing as much of it as I can by myself.
I’ll post up progress reports as I move forward. [moto]

Those who wish to aim solely at personal sanctification
could indeed be truly religious,
but they would not be Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.
(Fr. E. Meyer MSC, Analecta II, p. 487)
What do I personally bring to our Chevalier Family,
which makes it truly Missionary of the Sacred Heart ?
In Jesus' prayer to the Father for his own
- "Father, may they be one as we are one" -
we see the goodness of his heart in their regard.
(J. Chevalier, Méditations II, p.4)
What does Jesus' prayer tell me about my own way of praying ?
Devotion to the Sacred Heart will be the bond of union
between our life of prayer and our apostolic work,
between ourselves and others.
(Constitutiones MSC, 1877)
How do I value these two dimensions
in my daily personal/communal life ?
Our personal union with Jesus
is not just a simple union of resemblance and love.
It is a mysterious and deep union of life.
(J. Chevalier, Le Sacré-Coeur)
What stirs in my heart,
when I reflect upon my personal union with Jesus ?
I may want to journal about this.

BRIDGEPORT — The Chicago Youth Center Bridgeport Fellowship House is about to get a fresh coat of paint on the inside, courtesy of a paint industry trade group.
“We're going to take the place by storm,” said Ben McIntyre, a community relations liaison for the Chicago Paint and Coatings Association, a group representing dozens of local paint and chemical companies that will send about 50 volunteer painters to the building at 844 W. 32nd St., behind the Bridgeport Homes complex.
Gone will be the drab grays and muted pastels inside the center's hallways and classrooms, which take in about 100 kids for after-school and summer programs each year, a mix of Head Start students, grade school students and teenagers.
“The staff and families at Fellowship House are excited that we have been chosen for this project. We will have a new fresh look to start off the school year. We are truly grateful,” said Chicago Youth Center director Tina Ayala.
Founded in 1895 by the All Souls Unitarian Church, Fellowship House is considered among the oldest of the city's settlement houses, which offered classes, social and recreational programs for working class and poor immigrants.
The group later linked up with Chicago Youth Centers, an amalgamation of boys and girls clubs founded by a pair of city businessmen in the 1950s.
Fellowship House became part of Chicago Youth Centers sometime around 1960, and today it continues offering a range of kid-focused programming and activities at its locations in Bridgeport, Grand Boulevard, Bronzeville, Humboldt Park, North Lawndale, South Shore, Riverdale, Altgeld Gardens and Roseland.
Ayala, of Elk Grove Village, said the organization survived with state Head Start funding and a mix of private donations and grants from Illinois Action for Children and the Chicago Housing Authority.
Like its counterparts across the city, the Bridgeport location takes in a mix of neighborhood kids from all ethnic backgrounds.
“People think that it's all African-American. But it's not. There are Lithuanian, Chinese, African-American, Caucasian. That shocks people that it's really diverse,” Ayala said.
Enrollment is closed for the upcoming year.
“That’s the good thing and the bad thing. There’s no openings. People who come through the program, you see generation after generation and generation coming here.”
It's the 17th year the trade group has taken on a paint project, called "Paint a Brighter Chicago." They've done schools and community centers throughout the Chicago area.
“Our purpose is that a lot of organizations, community centers and even schools don't have funding for beautification projects. It's last on the list. But it’s amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do,” McIntyre said.


Tuesday’s Letters to the Editor
EDITOR: The sideshow phenomenon has invaded an intersection near where I live. The circular skid marks are unsightly, and the noise is infernal and almost always late at night. Here’s what I’d do: Pick out three or four heavily abused intersections and turn them into traffic circles. The sideshow drivers have shown us they love driving in circles. Let them.
EDITOR: For the past few weeks I have been worrying about the future of women and girls in Afghanistan. Now, with the passage of the draconian anti-abortion law in Taliban Texas, I find myself worrying about the future of women and girls in that state and all states governed by radical right white men. Such hypocrisy.
The radical right insists that it is a violation of individual rights for a state to require masks, but seemingly it is just fine for a state to exert control over a woman’s body. In fact, this Texas law encourages citizens to spy on each other and turn suspected violators in for a cash reward. The Taliban is no doubt taking notes.
And let’s be clear, this law is not pro-life; it is pro-birth. Once a child is born, the radical right couldn’t care less about early childhood education, children’s health care or affordable child care. Once a child leaves the womb, the far right leaves the room. Who does this hurt the most? The poor, the vulnerable, the marginalized.
And make no mistake, none of us is safe. As Martin Luther King, Jr., said, “Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.”
REV. GENE NELSON
Reform the recall
EDITOR: Regardless of Tuesday’s outcome, the state’s recall provision needs to be reformed. Any unqualified attention-seeker with $4,000 for the filing fee can become governor of the largest state in the Union, so long as they survive a battle royal where dozens of depressingly dimwitted dolts compete to be California’s last political comic standing. No need for a majority of the vote if you’re one of this year’s 46 replacement candidates. After all, Hollywood action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger received 48.6% when he replaced Gov. Gray Davis in 2003. If Gov. Gavin Newsom is recalled, his replacement probably will take over with at best half of Schwarzenegger’s percentage of the vote.
For California’s sake, we must change the law to ensure that this is the final curtain call for the recall circus. (And we Californians are paying $276 million for this malarkey.)
In addition to eliminating the clown car of candidates, the law should be reformed so that if a future governor is recalled by the voters, the sitting lieutenant governor becomes governor.
The recall choice
EDITOR: Alert! If you would like to circumvent the will of the people (like what happens in a free and fair election) get yourself at least one rich guy to buy you a recall. But if this turns your stomach, be sure to vote no on Tuesday.
NANCY J. ALLEN
EDITOR: Terrific story about students at Santa Rosa Junior College learning forest management skills (“Learning to prevent devastating wildfires,” Sept. 7). In this era of extreme fire conditions, it must be extremely satisfying to learn such valuable expertise and the science that can help make wildfire effects less severe.
Two concerns, however, about the way The Press Democrat presented the story. First, I’m sure the students would be the first to tell us that they are not learning to “prevent devastating wildfires.” The headline writer fell into the common belief that we can prevent the largest of these fires. We can’t. These folks are learning practices to make them less devastating, not prevent them.
Second, the front-page photo gives the impression that removing trees of 10 inches is a way to reduce fire danger. It isn’t. Again, the students would say that their main goal is to remove brush and small fuels so that prescribed fire can be introduced. It’s the carefully controlled fire, ignited under a precise prescription of temperature, wind, fuel moisture and other factors that will do the work of making wildfire behavior less extreme.
Nevertheless: Great work, students and SRJC.

For a moratorium
EDITOR: Drought, drought, drought. Sonoma County is experiencing its worst drought in decades. Our reservoirs are approaching an all-time low, and even with conservation measures, officials estimate there’s only enough water for another year or so. It’s safe to assume homes relying on wells are facing the same dire consequences.
Sonoma County is appealing its new housing allocation (requesting a lower number), citing the drought and an unclear picture on where the water would come from. On Aug. 3, the state issued emergency orders to take only enough water out of the Russian river for “basic human health and safety needs.” Supervisor Lynda Hopkins was quoted as saying, “In my opinion, if it’s not something you’re going to eat, maybe you shouldn’t be watering it.”
In response to Sonoma County’s recent draft amendment to the cannabis ordinance, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife and the National Marine Fisheries Service said a complete and thorough water study is necessary before proceeding with new projects.
In light of the uncertain water future, the Board of Supervisor should place a moratorium on commercial cannabis cultivation operations until our water supply is assured and safeguarded.
