Its no secret that I am a huge advocate for natural birth, you just have to read my birth stories to know how determined I was to have my VBAC's and a few posts to know how I would love to let all the woman in world know of the power they possess within them when it comes to birthing and mothering.
I was once victim of the "failure to progress" woman who ended up going under the knife with no real opportunity to even prove that I had even some ability to birth my son. It was both freeing and disturbing once I found out that I did not have to be cut open in fear that something dangerous might happen to my son and if I continued to labor with him. Disturbing, because I was scared into accepting the caesarean with fear tactics, but freeing because I then found out that there was another way and another opportunity to prove my strength and ability as one of many woman who had come before me. I showed my strength not once, but three times. Pushing past my fears, threats and even negativity, I delivered my babies beautifully.
There was however, from way before I had Liam, one thing I was afraid to experience through birth. One thing I was lucky to avoid with my first two VBAC's.
I know many woman that have torn through birth and a few who have had episiotomies too, all of whom seemed to have come through it unscathed. They moved on from it, had more babies naturally and just did life. To them, tearing was just part of the process, a process that empowered them and gave them precious new lives to care for. For me, it had a different effect.
I have always been afraid that I might tear, even more afraid of experiencing a C Section, in fact. My VJ is sacred to me. She is part of who I am and makes me a woman, more than having curvy hips and breasts. I will guard her before any of my limbs. She has allowed me to be my husbands everything and the opportunity to experience the gift of birthing my amazing children. Being who I am would mean nothing without her, no matter how I looked at it. So the thought of anything happening to her gave me nightmares.
Then one fateful night, after birthing naturally without a hitch two times before, I stood in my driveway, pushed for dear life and birthed a 4.1kg, tall and lovely little boy. This a birth for the story books, which left me with not the worst, but a pretty bad 3rd degree tear to my precious little VJ.
She was changed, I was changed, and together we will forever be different.
Finding out how badly I had torn was actually a far more devastating revelation than knowing I did not have to have a C Section years ago. My C section involved my stomach, a place that I had hardly had the same relationship with and that did not define my womanhood. My VJ, in my mind, no matter how well repaired, would never be the same again and in that, made me see my womanhood in a very different light. I was now suddenly more aware of her with everything that I did and everything I had felt. She bared the memory of delivery, the scar of surgery but also always brings to life the fear that I had always carried.
Adding insult to injury, I had to endure two weeks of life with my broken lady parts. Because I had Aiden at home and chose to stay home, it took three days to figure out I had torn after the scariest bathroom visit of my life. Instead of all my matter exiting from its designated area, some made its way into my VJ. My Doctor was in Dubai at the time and since he was the only one I would allow to do anything to my most protected parts, I waited for him to do the surgery two weeks later. This meant bathing 3-6 times a day, swooshing as many times as I could and being so aware of my lower body that I had constant dreams about it.
To be realistic, tearing probably is not as bad as I make it out to seem here, but our individual fears are just that, individual. And having had experienced mine, I am glad I came through it on the other end.
Although I don't know my VJ the same way again, and there are moments when I am reminded of Aiden's birth when going to the bathroom for instance, I have a new respect for her and her resilience. I have learnt to take heed of her abilities and the role she plays in my life and the life of my marriage. She and I have experienced great trauma, but like me, she came out winning.
But because of this new found respect for my dear VJ, if the dear Lord were to ever bless me with another little member to my squad, I would most likely opt for a C section. The C section took a long time to heal both physically and emotionally from, but I don't think I will every recover from the tear. So yes, a C section, not because of fear, or because of convenience, but because I think both mrs VJ and I have had all the trauma we can handle for one life time.

Don't miss the top 5 e-Commcerce logitics news last week. The article covers news about Fab, Singapore Post, Alibaba, Postnord, Pitney Bowes and Amazon last week.
Fab Co-Founder’s Shopping Site, Bezar, Is Running Out of Money
Re/code noted that Bezar, a design marketplace that focus on flash sale, is running out of money and appears close to going out of business. Bezar raised $2.25 million early 2015. The article also pointed out that the flash sale pioneer Gilt Groupe sold for just $250M in the previous week, which was a fraction of the $1 billion valuation it once held on paper. Is it the end of the flash sale era?
Singapore Post launches SP Commerce
SingPost launches SP Commerce, a global omni-channel commerce and fulfilment platform with the integration of TradeGlobal and Jagged Peak (SingPost acquired 71.1% equity). SP Commerce aims to expand SingPost's e-commerce logistics footprint in the United States and provide greater links to China and the rest of the Asia-Pacific. Noting that SP Commerce is launched after Alibaba putting another $207M into SingPost in mid 2015:
- Acquired 100% TradeGlobal on Oct 14 2015 ($168.6 million)
- Acquired 71.1% Jagged Peak on Oct 9 2015 (US$15.8 million)
SingPost started a similar concept called SP eCommerce in 2015 targeting businesses in Asia Pacific to provide end-to-end eCommerce solutions like website design, warehousing and shipping to post-delivery customer care. It is impressive to see a national postal service keeps improving and extend its role beyond traditional delivery services.
Amazon receives ocean freight license to ship packages from China by sea
Amazon is now registered to deliver its own products to seaports for ocean shipping, i.e. Amazon can organizes the shipment of goods from a supplier or factory in one region — say, China — to a company or customer somewhere far away, like the U.S. In 2015, Amazon shipped more than a billion packages, making them the largest shipper in the US, said Satish Jindel, a logistics consultant who helped found FedEx Ground. Finding ways to reduce costs is crucial.
PostNord announces new collaboration with Alibaba
Alibaba is working with numbers of postal services - including Australia Post and the UK’s Royal Mail – to establish country platforms on Tmall Global. Of course, I also mentioned Singapore Post above. PostNord is the next one. Post & Parcel noted that PostNord Denmark has announced that it has entered into a new collaboration with Alibaba which it claims will “make it easier and cheaper for Danish and Nordic e-retailers to reach affluent Chinese consumers”.
“Alibaba Group sees the collaboration as a central partnership that gives Chinese consumers access to high-quality products." Alibaba Group’s country manager for the UK/Ireland and the Nordic region, Amee Chande said.
Pitney Bowes buys Enroute Systems
Talking about acquisition of eCommerce logistics solution providers, I should name a few here: Stamps.com bought shipstation, shipworks and endicia, NeoPost invested in Temando, Metapack bought Abol, how about recent moves by Pitney Bowes?
Pitney Bowes acquires Borderfree in Jun 2015 for $395 million, and now Enroute Systems (terms of the deal were not disclosed). Borderfree provides cross-border eCommerce solutions including international logistics and fulfillment, marketing, strategies planing. Enroute provides SaaS solutions for retailers to manage manage multiple carriers.

September 5, 1996
0 14633 07692 9
Teen – Animated Blood & Gore
Cleanse and Burn…
A huge and out of control derelict spaceship is racing towards the Imperial Planet Delvar III.
The honor has befallen the Blood Angels chapter of Imperial Space Marines to board this gargantuan Space Hulk, battle through hordes of Genestealer Aliens, divert it from its course and save the planet from certain destruction!
Space Hulk’s retail release in the double jewel case accidentally states the game is 2-players. It’s only one player – a fact that the unreleased long box got right, ironically.
The Unreleased Box Art
The Space Hulk “long box” was a mysterious oddity in the lore of the long box collection. During the initial compilation of released games, this one always came up as an unsure one. Rumors had persisted that it in fact did exist, but there was never a concrete picture or any physical proof. Even if the item did surface, was it an actual release or an unused relic?
The trail was cold until a random eBay auction…
It was a bidding war for only the game and the long box, but there was no manual. Without the manual, the eBay auction was nothing more than a display case. Game-Rave was the first to research the possibility of the item’s existence, including contacting Electronic Arts on the matter. The official word was that, “It was never released, and only exists as a double-jewel case.” Obviously, that reply piqued my curiosity. Having lost the auction, I instead hit the magazine archives and original websites that existed during the early years of the PlayStation.
Two pieces of information came forward; the PlayStation Galleria stated the retail date was September 5th, and this was confirmed in an issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. This proved a very important clue; September 5 would have meant a long box version of Space Hulk had been released almost 2 months and 15 game releases later than the final long box, which was Tecmo World Golf. With this in mind, the ‘missing manual’ theory was still the only piece that would allow anything to fall into place.
The journey continues…
Almost half a year passed, and suddenly another long box appears, again without the manual. This time, the seller shows the long box to have the real barcode and the official SLUS ID number on the case. More importantly, it said in the auction that the seller’s source claims, “…no manuals were ever made, and that all of the long boxes should have been destroyed.” No reasons are given for this claim, but since I knew the seller, it was more than hard not to believe. A chance of fates allows me to grab a hold of a separate copy of the long box. That means at the time there are either 2 or 3 confirmed Space Hulk long boxes floating around, including mine.
Upon obtaining the box, there were 4 tests that had to be passed for it to be officially a “real” retail box. The first two, the retail barcode and the SLUS ID number were already confirmed; but Pre-Order boxes were notorious for being the real case ahead of schedule. The third, which one wouldn’t know of unless they had Sony’s Identity Manual, was the white square. In a bumpy long box such as this one, if there were no artworks on the inside of the case, there would need to be a small white square on the inside lid, a printer’s mark to show there was no artwork needed; That was confirmed.
Finally, there is the 4th and smallest marker of them all – the Electronic Arts’ part ID tag. Not the SLUS number, but a small, 6 digit number usually buried next to the Copyright info on the back of the box. On a long box, they end in 201, on a jewel case version they end in 220. The long box does indeed have its proper ID number, which means that this is an official long box case…that was never sent to the retail markets.
So what happened during those two months between the last long box and the release of Space Hulk? A shipping delay, for whatever reasons you could fathom.
That makes this an officially UNRELEASED long box case style. The key word of course being unreleased; this is not part of the official variant release list, but is instead a hell of a collector’s item.
Here’s the entire theorized timeline of how it happened:
- As proven by another ‘unreleased game’ long box, Electronic Arts sends out ‘dummy’ long box cases for retail Coming Soon sections. The game is scheduled to go on sale sometime in late June / early July.
- Sometime before the game’s original release date, Sony announces they are switching over to the standard Jewel Cases that the music industry uses, as well as their Japanese counterpart. The final long boxes, ending with Tecmo World Golf, are released to the general public.
- For whatever reason, Space Hulk is delayed, possibly due to production issues, the long box itself, or poor reviews (the average score was a 5 out of 10). This may have been specifically for packaging reasons; Space Hulk’s disc’s final file was done in early June.
- Electronic Arts, in the process of converting Triple Play, Wing Commander III, Road Rash, and NBA Live 96 to the standard jewel cases, decides to completely scrap what long boxes have been made for Space Hulk to just move it to the jewel case immediately.
- The long boxes sent out as pre-order cases are then used as stand-ins for copies of the game, be it used ones or if the display box went missing (in the case of EB Games / Babbages opened copies).
As of this updated page creation, at least 5 to 7 Space Hulk long boxes have been discovered, with the latest one – in a horribly worn condition – appearing on eBay in July 2016.
- There are no known misprints, but the unreleased long box had a typo corrected in the final release.
- There is no review for this game yet.
- No Review
- No Review

Final Score: NA – No Review
- There are no screenshots for this game yet.
- There are currently no videos for this game.
- Space Hulk was not the only game with an unused retail released box. NFL Quarterback Club ’96 had the same treatment, except it’s game was cancelled in favor of turning it into a ’97 edition. Currently only one known version of that game’s long box exists. Sadly, it is not in our possession.
- If you’ve never followed the table top series, Games Workshop have their own set of stores where you can often see game pieces beautifully hand painted and huge game board / play areas on display. While I’ve never been able to get into it, I’ve stopped by during game sessions just to check out the craftsmanship of various players – some pretty incredible stuff.

Polls from our webinar on running a two-stroke engine following IMO’s mandated changeover to low sulphur fuels offer a window into industry experience during the first few months of the sulphur cap
The webinar, part of our multi-week series beginning with this week’s Maritime Propulsion Webinar Week, took aim at bringing peace of mind to owners and operators running two-stroke engines on very low-sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO).
Attendees heard reports from Veritas Petroleum Services’ (VPS) Steve Bee, Shell Marine Products’ John Schakel, Lloyd’s Register’s Tim Wilson and MAN two-stroke engine specialist Kjeld Aabo on how the industry was adapting to IMO’s recently implemented rules on carrying and burning lower sulphur fuels.
In relating their key takeaways from the discussion, the panellists agreed that the historic shift to new fuel blends in shipping had created a "learning curve" for the industry.
"Remember, we are only four months into using this this new fuel whereas we have 40-50 years of using the more traditional fuel," VPS’ Steve Bee said. "So we’re very much on a learning curve all together."
Regarding updated standards coming out of the fuels changeover, Lloyd’s Register’s Tim Wilson said a review of the ISO 2017 standard was underway and the next revision, likely to come out in 2023, was "going to be the biggest one".
Overall, the panellists passed on to operators a few consistent messages based on their learnings from the first few months of operations under the sulphur cap: monitor, manage, inspect and understand your engines.
"For me, it is the cylinder condition monitoring," said Mr Schakel. "Knowing your engine condition and also knowing the history of your engine."
Fuel and lubricant management, cylinder condition monitoring, knowing the engine’s history and manufacturers’ specifications, communicating with charterers, planning orders and facilitating crew understanding of all the above are now, more than ever they said, fundamental to avoiding any of the potential pitfalls associated with fuel blends.
Ultimately, as Mr Aabo said, "it is how to be prepared, how to treat to treat the fuel before [it gets to] the engine itself".
"This is not heavy fuel oil. We are now talking about very low sulphur fuel oil," he said.
In terms of industry perceptions on the sulphur cap implementation, the webinar saw attendees answer polls covering their experiences with fuel oil availability, lubricants and inspections.
Up to 15% of respondents said they had experienced availability issues with 0.5% sulphur fuels. At 37.5%, more than one in three owners or operators have had port state control inspectors come on board to check sulphur cap compliance. And just over 17% reported having had issues in obtaining 40BN lubricants.

The FEC’s move to restart the regulatory process for rules governing digital advertising has consultants worried they could soon be hampered in their ability to reach voters online.
As part of the FEC’s reexamination of its small-item exemption, which covers some digital advertising, commissioners are also weighing whether to create a database of all campaign ads and ban “programmatic (automated) political ads from being sold,” according to Axios.
It stems from a Sept. 14 FEC open meeting during which Commissioner Ellen Weintraub (D) said the revelation that Russia-linked Facebook accounts bought $100,000 worth of Facebook ads during the 2016 cycle was cause to reexamine the feds’ digital advertising disclosure requirements
Reaction from digital practitioners was swift on Tuesday, with much of the harshest criticism reserved for the notion of banning programmatic.
“Requiring digital advertisers to disclose their ads, like the recent Facebook announcement is one thing,” Amanda Bloom of BASK Digital tweeted. “[B]locking basically all digital ads except the limited direct buys available would set political advertising back to the stone ages.”
Members of Congress “need to understand how much programmatic advertising was used to get them elected,” Bloom tweeted, noting TV’s gradual shift in the direction of programmatic.
“Banning programmatic advertising isn’t the answer, preventing foreign gov’t entities from buying ads is the issue,” tweeted A.J. Carillo, an account lead at the digital advertising and buying platform Centro.
The FEC’s rationale for revisiting it’s current rules: “Those regulations were designed for things like pens and bumper stickers that tend to be either physically handed to you, or plastered on a car,” Ellen Weintraub said during the FEC’s hearing earlier this month. “When things come over from the internet you really often have no idea where it’s coming from.”
She invited rep from Google, Facebook and Twitter to provide public comment on the issue during a 30-day period.
Revolution Messaging's Keegan Goudiss said the FEC wasn't going far enough by simply accepting comments. "Something as complex as digital requires a hearing with multiple viewpoints represented," said Goudiss, whose firm has tangled with the FEC over mobile ad disclaimers.
In the past, he noted, Republican commissioners "have avoided such hearings."
"Will they do so again after a foreign entity so easily circumvented their purpose,” Goudiss asked.
Ad platforms, Goudiss noted, also have a role to play in improving transparency: "What defines an 'ad' in the digital space is much different than traditional media."
“This regulation, if implemented, wouldn’t just affect the more traditionally labeled Demand Side Platforms, (DSP) such as Google’s Doubleclick, TubeMogul or RocketFuel. This would ban all political digital ads on Facebook, Twitter, and the argument could be made for search advertising as well,” Matt Capristo, VP of ad operations at IMGE, wrote Tuesday. “If digital political ads are neutered to the point where they disappear, or are no longer effective, not only do persuasion ads disappear, but the rest of these modern methods of civic engagement disappear as well.”
JC Medici, a partner in the recently launched 1828 Media, said he favored the database proposal, but like Capristo worried about a potential programmatic ban.
It’s a “prominent way ads are bought online, does not seem practical, and I don't fully comprehend what it would solve,” said Medici, who used to work at Rocket Fuel, a programmatic ad platform. “It would be similar to ask all brokerages to take stock orders over the phone instead of online through their account. It does not seem practical or reasonable.”
Other consultants said they were adopting a wait-and-see approach during the FEC process.
“As progressives we value transparency and support efforts by the FEC and others to bring more clarity and accountability to the political process,” DSPolitical’s Jim Walsh told C&E in an email. “We will be keeping an eye on specific proposals as they move forward to make certain those values are central to any changes in policy.”
The FEC’s move comes as lawmakers are also eyeing additional regulations on digital advocacy. Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn) last week started circulating plans for a bill that would require companies like Facebook to act like local TV stations and maintain a public file on all electioneering advertising done with more than a $10,000 budget.

The overall aim of the project is to establish a common means of measurement and characterization of medical diagnostic ultrasonic fields based on working to IEC 1157. The ptoject will involve each participant making measurements on sources using calibrated small-area hydrophones inthe megahertz frequency range. Two reference sources will be used : one a pulse Check source and the other a small portable ultrasound scanner. Each laboratory will undertake measurements of the acoustic output of these sources in accordance with IEC 1157. Reference measuremnets will be made by the co-ordinating laboratory at the begining and the end of the project and checks will be made during the project
Part funded under the EC contract MAT1-CT940064 administered by the Standards, Measurement and Testing Programme.

|This content is available in both Pixel Gun 3D and Pixel Gun World! If this is a game content, its counterpart is described in another article!|
This article describes a Pixel Gun World weapon. If you're looking for the same weapon in Pixel Gun 3D, see Combat Rifle Up1 (PG3D).
The Combat Rifle Up1 is a weapon introduced in the first version of Pixel Gun World. It is a long-range assault-rifle without a scope. It is the second and the final form of the Combat Rifle.
The Combat Rifle Up1 has an aqua-blue camo texture, a cosmetic bayonet, and other features of an M16. It also has a long structure compared to other rifles.
The Combat Rifle Up1 is very accurate and has range, has a better fire rate than most rifles, has average ammo, decent mobility, and great damage to complement the fire rate. It has a different style of gameplay from other rifles; with it, fighting at long ranges are possible when properly aiming. Unlike most high range rifles, it doesn't need a scope to shoot far or be accurate. The Combat Rifle Up1 also has some good mobility to it, making getting close possible but not recommended.
- Stay at a medium range and wait for your opponent to make a movement.
- Do not rush, it's crosshairs aren't very good at dealing damage in close ranges.
- Avoid high mobility melee weapons and very long range snipers.
- Try not to waste it's ammunition, since this can easily run out of ammunition
- Pick off its users from long range.
- Use a high mobile weapon to encounter its user(s).
- Take advantage by using area damage weapons.
Cold War Themed M16 With a Bayonet.
- This weapon is no longer available, due to the shut down of Pixel Gun World.
- The Combat Rifle Up1 is one of the only long range rifles without a scope.
- Unlike the mobile version, it has no Up2.

A video of football coaches at East Coweta High School praying with team members after a recent game caught the attention of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a national organization that advocates for “non-theists” and promotes the separation of church and state.
The foundation sent a letter to Coweta School Superintendent Steve Barker last week, calling the prayer unconstitutional and asking the school system to begin an immediate investigation into the complaint and to take action to stop school-sponsored prayers at athletic events.
The foundation stated in a news release that a “concerned local community member” reported to the foundation that John Small, East Coweta’s head football coach, had made it a habit to pray with his team.
Barker asked school board attorney Nathan Lee to provide legal guidance on the issue and last Friday, Barker met with coaches from the three public high schools to discuss the rules surrounding religious activity during school events. A memo from Lee was distributed to all school principals this week, Barker said.
While student-led, student-initiated prayer is absolutely a right that students have, school system employees should only be in a supervisory or custodial role during that prayer, according to Barker. “I think it is pretty clear that they can’t participate, or they should not participate,” he said Thursday.
The letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation and a related press release refer to “Coweta High School,” never calling the school by its proper name.
Though the letter alleges that Small was leading the team in prayer, that was not the case, according to Dean Jackson, Coweta Schools public information officer.
Instead, the prayer was led by a volunteer “community coach.” Though community coaches aren’t paid, they are representatives of the school system, and aren’t supposed to be leading prayers, either.
“Community coaches would not be any different in my opinion,” Barker said.
Barker said he wanted to make sure to have legal guidance available for school system employees.
“As superintendent, it is very important that when we have any matter with a legal question that we pass along the information to our employees,” Barker said. “Obviously we have responsibilities to our students. We also want our employees to be aware of anything that they might not even understand to be a problem from a legal perspective,” he said.
“I feel like it is my responsibility to make sure that we are following the law.”
The U.S. Constitution prevents Congress from making a law respecting the establishment of religion (the Establishment Clause) or prohibiting the free exercise of religion.
According to Lee’s memo, “a school or other governmental action will be found unconstitutionally to ‘endorse’ religion where a reasonable observer familiar with the history and context of the action would perceive the action as a government’s endorsement of religion.”
The endorsement test is what protects the right of students to engage in voluntary prayer on school property, at school events and during the course of the school day, as long as the prayer is student-initiated and doesn’t interfere with school operations. It’s also what prohibits schools from discriminating against religious or non-religious clubs and organizations.
In the news release issued last Friday, the foundation boasted “The Freedom From Religion Foundation has put an end to a Georgia high school coach’s practice of praying with his players.”

APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FOURTH DISTRICT
517 N.E.2d 33, 163 Ill. App. 3d 1049, 115 Ill. Dec. 68 1987.IL.1824
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Adams County; the Hon. Robert L. Welch, Judge, presiding.
JUSTICE McCULLOUGH delivered the opinion of the court. LUND and KNECHT, JJ., concur.
DECISION OF THE COURT DELIVERED BY THE HONORABLE JUDGE MCCULLOUGH
On June 11, 1986, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency issued a section 4(q) notice to plaintiff, the city of Quincy, alleging potential liability for release of hazardous substances in violation of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (Act) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 111 1/2, par. 1004(q)). On January 21, 1987, the plaintiff brought suit for declaratory relief challenging the constitutionality of the section 4(q) notice provision and its potential liability under the Act. On January 22, 1987, the plaintiff filed a motion for preliminary injunction to enjoin enforcement of the provisions of the section 4(q) notice. The circuit court of Adams County denied the motion and, on April 13, 1987, granted the EPA's motion to dismiss the complaint for declaratory relief. The court granted judgment on the pleadings as to count I, upholding the constitutionality of the section 4(q) notice provisions, and dismissed the remaining counts for failure to state a cause of action.
The plaintiff appeals the order of the court and in support thereof maintains: first, section 4(q) of the Act is unconstitutional for deprivation of due process; and second, the court improperly dismissed counts II through V of the complaint. We affirm.
The controversy herein involves a plot of property in Adams County which was used as a landfill. During the years 1971 through 1976, the EPA issued numerous permits for the operation of a waste disposal plant. The EPA approved disposal of both solid and liquid waste products. All permits were granted according to EPA specifications which included defined and analyzed waste characterizations and chemical analysis.
On June 18, 1979, the EPA certified the landfill as closed and covered. The plaintiff was informed of the three-year post-closure requirements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Illinois Pollution Control Board. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 111 1/2, par. 1022.3.
On July 11, 1986, the EPA issued a section 4(q) notice to plaintiff informing it of "actual and/or threatened release of hazardous substances from the site [which] may present an imminent and substantial endangerment to the public health or welfare or environment." Analysis of numerous groundwater samples taken from the site demonstrated the presence of hazardous materials. The notice outlined the identified response action to be undertaken by plaintiff in compliance with the Act. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 111 1/2, par. 1004(q).) Plaintiff was further informed of potential liability for punitive damages for failure to comply "without sufficient cause" pursuant to section 22.2 of the Act. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 111 1/2, par. 1022.2.
The plaintiff's complaint for declaratory relief sought recovery on five counts. Count I challenged the constitutionality of the section 4(q) notice provision. Specifically, plaintiff claimed the absence of a preenforcement hearing, the lack of an alternative means of contesting alleged responsibility for hazardous discharges, and the potential threat of punitive damages deprived it of its constitutional rights to due process of law.
Count II alleged the section 4(q) notice issued by the EPA herein was void for vagueness, since the notice failed to specifically identify which statutory or regulatory provisions were allegedly being violated, and which hazardous substances were being released, and it could not be enforced.
Count III maintained the EPA was estopped from instituting the section 4(q) notice procedure because the EPA was aware of the potential for groundwater contamination when it granted permits for disposal of various liquid waste products.
Count IV asserted the EPA was withholding information sought by plaintiff and fully discoverable pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. ...


CUPERTINO, Calif., May 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Carl E. Berg, who is the largest shareholder (17.6%) of Stratus Properties Inc. (Nasdaq: STRS), today released the following:
On Page 16 of Stratus's May 2016 investor presentation, the company claims that its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer "has never sold Stratus stock in his over 20 years with the company."
I would like to call to the attention of Stratus shareholders that on March 15, 2016, within a day after William H. Armstrong III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stratus Properties, trumpeted a jump in the company's estimated NAV per share of approximately 25% in the past 11 months to $44.34, he took the opportunity to transfer stock back to the company priced at $22.98 to pay taxes on recently vested stock grants. It is notable that Mr. Armstrong was willing to redeem his shares at 52% of the company's own published NAV estimate published a day earlier.
Though the shares of Stratus Properties have been relatively thinly traded according to NASDAQ for the last 15 years, the liquidity to sell or transfer shares back to the company to pay taxes or exercise stock options has been available to Mr. Armstrong, regardless of the prevailing trading volume in Stratus' shares.
According to Yahoo Finance, the trading volume in Stratus, which has been elevated since the filing of my Schedule 13D on December 21, 2015, was 31,800 shares on March 14, 2016. Mr. Armstrong's sale/redemption equated to roughly a third of the day's volume and he was able to achieve more per share than the previous night's closing price.
All but roughly 5% of the approximate 500,000 shares that Mr. Armstrong owns have come via stock grants or cashless exercise options over the years. Since 2005 Mr. Armstrong has sold or transferred to the company over 330,000 shares of stock receiving an average price of over $28 per share, a total of over $9 million.
Liquidity has never been an issue for Mr. Armstrong since his stock sales and transfers to the company are transacted on the Stratus balance sheet rather on the open market. For example, on December 27, 2006, when a total of 500 Stratus shares traded on the open market and closed at $31.49, Mr. Armstrong sold or transferred back to the company 121,123 shares at $31.20 per share to fund his exercise of options and to pay taxes. The average daily volume in the shares during the entire month in December 2006 was less than 2,000 shares.
Mr. Armstrong directly or through the company filings has warned of potential "creeping" takeovers and lectured on "control premiums" in addressing the reasons for the company's poison pill. It should be noted that he now owns 5.51% as April 15, 2016, of the company, almost all of which he acquired through cashless exercise of stock options and stock grants. He has also redeemed additional equity awards to pay taxes on a substantial portion of these grants and options.
Stratus had 8.1 million shares outstanding as of December 31, 2015. According to Stratus public reports, approximately 1.69 million of those shares were issued to directors and officers via stock grants and stock options and a in private placement to a company controlled by a close personal friend of Mr. Armstrong at a deep discount to book value at the time.

Netflix’s Stranger Things continues to hit us fans with heavy doses of nostalgia as we are treated with another great crossover poster in preparation for the second season premiere this October. The poster comes to us via the Stranger Things Twitter account and pays homage to Firestarter, a classic 80s film that was based off of a Stephen King novel of the same name and starred Drew Barrymore. In the poster, Millie Brown’s Eleven, replaces Drew Barrymore’s character, Charlie. The fire in the original poster is replaced with a starry sky, that in a way reminds me of the show’s first episode. You can see the poster below.
— Stranger Things (@Stranger_Things) August 31, 2017
It is safe to say that the Duffer brothers may have used Drew Barrymore’s Charlie as inspiration for Eleven, at least in part. They are both young children whose supernatural abilities originate from experiments carried out at government facilities. Both are pursued by a shadowy network of government agents who wish to use the child for their own nefarious purposes. Could the Duffer brothers be trying to tell us about a new power that Eleven may have in Season 2? Probably not, but had they left the fire in the poster, then I think the topic would warrant further discussion.
The campaign of posters that has been rolled out for Stranger Things second season reiterates all the aspects of the show that make people love it. A good amount of the show’s fan base are 80s kids (myself included) who grew up with the all the films that Stranger Things draws its inspiration from. And even if you didn’t grow up in the totally tubular and gnarly decade of the 80s, Stranger Things can show you why your older relatives love the movies of that era so much.
Stranger Things Season 2 becomes bingable October 27, 2017

Influence of the transient plasma dynamics on the scaling of the K-shell line emission in pinch plasmas
The transient dynamics in pinch plasmas generated in a small plasma focus device has been made visible in the scaling of the brilliance of helium- and hydrogen-like resonance lines. The scaling of these lines was investigated theoretically and experimentally for different low Z - elements (nitrogen, oxy- gen, neon) considering the whole set of device parameter (current I(0),, neutral gas pressure p, anode radius a). Similarity considerations of the transient pinch plasma dynamics suggest that the set of determining parameters for the brilliance of the resonance lines can be reduced to I(0)2/(pa2) and pa for a fixed element, which is verified experimentally. Furthermore, the theoretical pre- dictions concerning the influence of the transient dynamics on the scaling of the brilliance of the transitions 1s-2p of hydrogen-like ions and ls2-1s2p of helium-like ions are verified experimentally.

What Exactly is the Heat Stain on Stainless?
Q. Curious.. when SS is ground, what is the brownish stain left.. "Heat stain"? What is the composition.. and does it need to be removed to have a successful passivation? Thank you.Tom Greifenkamp
- Cincinnati, Ohio
A. The surface discoloration on stainless steel after grinding or welding is surface oxidation. At elevated temperature, the metal comprising the stainless steel will combine with oxygen to form an oxide layer on the metal surface. The color of the "stain" is a function of the layer thickness. Oxidation of stainless steel indicates that the metal temperature at the oxidized surface was in excess of 1000 °F.
This surface oxide must be removed for the surface to be passivated and reach optimum corrosion resistance. An oxide layer that you can see by color change is not a protective oxide layer that is obtained by chemical passivation.
In addition, if you are causing a brown stain by grinding, you may be doing more damage to the material than forming a little surface oxide. Heating the stainless steel to temperatures in excess 800 °F can cause metallurgical changes and reduce corrosion resistance in a manner that is not corrected by surface cleaning or chemical passivation.
A. I suspect the gold/brown you are seeing is iron oxide--you will see the same color if you roast the metal in air, with the oxidation increasing proportionate to the temperature and the time at temperature. Stainless normally has an atomic layer of iron and chromium oxide on the surface which protects the steel from corrosive attack--hence, it becomes "stainless"; the layer is thinner than the visible light wavelengths, and therefore appears clear. [to all of the purists: there is no color because the oxide layer is not thick enough for there to be an interaction between reflected and refracted light on and through the oxide layer] Heating the metal in air converts more of the surface to the oxide, the oxide layer becomes thicker, and the characteristic red-brown color of iron oxide is able to be detected visually.
Technically, this process which is "browning" the stainless is passivating the metal by ensuring an oxide layer at the surface. However, a quick dip in an HCl solution followed by a thorough rinse should remove the oxide "stain", providing it only has a slight "heat" discoloration. You will need to re-passivate after removing the surface oxide layer.Dale Woika

A. There are several metal polishes out there that you can use to remove the heat bluing or stain. Brasso
[affil. link to product info on Amazon], SimiChrome
[affil. link to product info on Amazon]. Check your local hardware store, or motorcycle accessory shop. They typically carry products to get rid of bluing on exhaust pipes.

Q. I found your information on stainless steel rusting. I have a question and need a simple answer if one exists. I have an outdoor kitchen with a grill that costs $5 thousand to replace. My wife left it on with the lid closed (it has searing plates that get VERY hot). Needless to say one end actually got red hot. We slowly cooled it putting the fire out over a period of 15 minutes using low volume of water since it was a grease fire. We went out to begin the process to try to clean it (the lid is warped and toast, but is available to buy from the USA made vendor). We found rust all over the inside? Why is this and can it be resolved? We were able to remove all the rust and brownish gold color with a mild liquid abrasive and lot of rubbing ... will it rust again? Will it need to be treated? Will it have to be replaced? I would guess it was 1100-1400 degrees since a google search said melting was 1510 degrees. And yes ... it was my wife that did it ... lol. God Bless her, she felt bad. Any advice would be awesome.Jason Struble

A. I'm not a pro, just checking in for answers to my own question, but I have some experience with stainless, so maybe I can help.
First, there are many different alloys of stainless, with differing resistance to corrosion, but they'll all rust under the right conditions. Stainless is iron with other metals, usually nickel and chrome, added.
Anyway, as far as I know, oxides of chrome and nickel aren't brown, they're black. Iron oxide can be brown or red. So I think what you had was surface oxides of the iron in the stainless, and I think you did well in removing it with abrasion, because that won't hurt the metal. What's bad in stainless is black pitting, I know from experience, which can lead to holes all the way through thin sheets. I believe by polishing off the rust, you've exposed fresh metal, which will passivate (form a protective oxide coating) on its own, and be just fine.
The other stainless friendly cleaner is Barkeepers Friend [affil. link to product info on Amazon], which I believe is a mild abrasive and dilute oxalic (sp?) acid.
Hope that helps, and glad that the grill was *outside* when it had the near-meltdown.

A. OUCH! Got lost in all the emotion of the event and really feel for your pain.
HOWEVER, Scratch-B-Gone has and will quickly rescue your damaged surface of your hood and remove all of the rust and discoloration.
Chromium in the Stainless helps to ward off the rust element of steel but under these extreme heats may have broken down. Another possibility is the manuf used 430SS which has more iron content at the outset and the rust is a result of air/pollution/water. See if it is magnetic and this will help with answer.
REMEMBER..Scratch-B-Gone is your friend here! Regards

A. In the welding biz, with stainless steel you get something called the "heat affected zone" (HAZ). This is the area on either side of the weld where the metal was almost but not quite heated to its melting point. Actually what is occurring is some of the metal components in the alloy want to melt and others don't, so you have something that is sort of partway between liquid and solid. As this cools, depending on various factors, the metal atoms can move about and segregate themselves differently than the original evenly distributed arrangement they had before. In stainless steel, this means that the corrosion resistance imparted by the presence of chromium is taken away and the HAZ area needs to be passivated. It also tends to leave a blue or brown discoloration, which is composed of carbides that formed during the segregation. This discoloration can be removed using various methods, including abrasive products.
This is no doubt exactly what happened with your grill lid, except over a larger area than is seen with welds.

A. In answer to the coloration after grinding stainless...
... There should be NO DISCOLORATION. Zero. If there is, you're not using the right grinding disks. Don't save money; buy disks made for SS. You'll be AMAZED at the difference. It cuts into it MUCH easier and won't overheat the metal. Overheating can lead to carbon precipitation and RUST.

Electric Bike Ride starts with a coffee under the veranda of the colonial house of the Beau Vallon garden. After that, saddle up, head to the Dutch ruins of Fort Frederick Hendrick, the first stone construction in the Indian Ocean. Near the fort, we will join the workshop of craftsmen making the traditional vacuous baskets (baskets widely used in ‘Moris’), a disappearing craft that makes the villagers of Vieux Grand Port. Then, a few pedal strokes will bring you to meet Pop, one of the last marine carpenter of the island, while sipping a tamarind juice prepared by Salima, his wife. For a moment, live in Mauritian style with simplicity. You will cross the Cavendish Bridge to cross the River “La Chaux” and reach Ville Noire. This suburb of Mahébourg impresses with its authentic character, teeming with villagers and small merchants. We take the road to the “Vallée de Ferney”, a beautiful nature reserve with rolling landscapes. In a sumptuous panorama, we will have a “local” lunch at the restaurant “Falaise rouge” built at the edge of the cliff! This place was a strategic location in one of the biggest battles of Grand-Port. Restored, we will then pedal to the waterfront, admire the splendid view of the bay of the Vieux Grand Port, the mountain of the Lion, and the Mouchoir Rouge island.
To conclude this trip in the heart of history, we will go to the Naval Museum of Mahébourg located in a former colonial residence and proposing an interesting collection of various objects recovered from wrecks, models, maps and weapons of that time, magnificent lithographs by Mauritian notables, paintings representing the region or the bones of the famous dodo.

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, you’ve probably visited Montour Preserve, one of the jewels of outdoor recreation in the area. But do you remember a time before there was a Montour Preserve?
Back in 1967, when the local electric utility — then called Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. — announced that it would build a coal-fired power plant near Washingtonville in Montour County, the area was mostly farmland with a creek running through it. There was no Lake Chillisquaque and no Montour Preserve.
On June 5, 1967, then-PP&L President Jack Busby told the Rotary Club in nearby Danville that the power company planned to build two generating units on a site in Derry Township. It was the first PP&L power plant not built next to a body of water. Instead, the company piped the main supply of cooling water for the steam electricity generating units through a 12-mile-long pipeline from the Susquehanna River. For a backup cooling source, PP&L bought 2,800 acres adjacent to the plant site and built a dam on Chillisquaque Creek to form the 165-acre Lake Chillisquaque.
Ground was broken for Unit 1 at the power plant in 1968 and it began commercial operation in 1972. That same year, Lake Chillisquaque and its surrounding land opened to the public as Montour Preserve. The Preserve included a boat-launching ramp, two picnic areas and two scenic overlooks. The lake itself was stocked with game fish by the Pennsylvania Fish Commission. Only boats with electric motors were allowed on the lake, which continues today.
Today, the power plant is owned by Talen Energy, which leases the Montour Preserve to the Montour Area Recreation Commission. MARC has operated the Preserve since 2015.
Over the years, more than 10 miles of trails, an Environmental Education Center, pavilions and children’s play areas were added for the public’s enjoyment. During construction of the power plant, fossils dating from the Devonian Period around 395-million years ago were discovered. Today the Preserve’s Fossil Pit offers an opportunity for visitors to hunt for fossils of their own and keep their findings. Or, you can visit the Environmental Education Center to view the fossil displays there.
Generations of area kids will remember school trips to Montour Preserve to dig in the Fossil Pit, attend a nature program at the Environmental Education Center or take part in the annual maple-sugaring.
A Sappy Story
Cold nights and warm days mean the sap is running in the Preserve’s maple trees, and it’s time to head to the Sugar Shack to learn how to make maple syrup.
This year is the 47th year for the annual maple-sugaring program at the Preserve. The first event for this year, the annual pancake breakfast and maple-sugaring open house, took place on Feb. 29. Don’t worry if you missed it – there’s another opportunity to see the maple-sugaring demonstration on Saturday, March 14 from noon to 4 p.m. Learn more about the upcoming open house right here.
At the event you’ll learn some of the natural and cultural history of sugaring and follow the process from sap to syrup. Programs begin in the Environmental Education Center on the hour (noon, 1, 2 and 3 p.m.) with a speaker and a movie. Then you’ll take a short walk along the Goose Woods trail to the Sugar Shack.
One tip: Be sure to dress for the weather. When I was at the Feb. 29th event, it was blustery and there were occasional snow squalls. But the program was great. I was particularly interested in learning how to make a wooden “spile,” the tube that is inserted in the tree to collect the sap. Long before today’s metal spiles were invented, Native Americans used hollowed-out Sumac branches to drain sap from the maple trees.
On my way back to the Environmental Education Center, I met up with a local Cub Scout Pack and their leaders on the Goose Woods Trail. The Cubs were excitedly heading to the Sugar Shack. Of course, maybe the draw for the kids was the chance to sample the sugary syrup that was being cooked up in the Sugar Shack!

Car Henge is one of those cool, off beat pieces of “Americana” that you can only find in the midwest. Unlike other automotive effigies across the USA, such as Cadillac Ranch in Texas, Car Henge is 100% awesome. The setting is in a rural part of Nebraska that offers easy access, free parking and a photo friendly environment with access day or night. It is made up of 38 automobiles arranged in a circle measuring about 29 meters (95 ft) in diameter. Some are held upright in pits 1.5 meters (4.9 ft) deep, trunk end down, and arches have been formed by welding automobiles atop the supporting models. The heelstone is a 1962 Cadillac. Three cars were buried at Car Henge. Their “gravestone” is a car that reads: “Here lie three bones of foreign cars. They served our purpose while Detroit slept. Now Detroit is awake and America’s great!”-Ironic considering the TARP bail outs of 2007-08 and the current decay of the once great Detroit=)
The actual park itself, I’m sure is a 9-5 deal, although, I’ve shot here at 3am with no issues. I don’t recall how I found out about Car Henge, if it was thru an road trip blog or elsewhere, but it’s been a great place to go get creative over the years. Located in Alliance, Nebraska, It’s always on the road plan when I travel to Denver, Las Vegas or LA. This image was captured in the winter of 2013 while I was deciding between living in the midwest or moving out to the west coast. I stopped off in Alliance around 4:30am to stretch and take a few shots at dawn. I had seen a few cool sunrises on my way back home and was hoping that this mornings would be similar. It turned out a little more subtle than the previous days, but I liked the look of this shot for the mood of the year. It also juxtaposed well with an earlier shot I had made at sunset in 2010.
If you are hitting the road for vacation this spring or summer and crossing Nebraska, try and stop off here to see this cool piece of America before some zoning committee or Wal-Mart tears it down.
I-94 is the only interstate image to be a part of my Miles Between collection. The Interstate & this place in particular recall many childhood memories. Movies at Vali-Hi drive in, vacations to our cabin or heading to my dads car dealership every Saturday to name just a few. Before there was a bridge here to safely make a photo from, the road just T’d up with the major Interstate. You’d have to play a game of “Frogger” to cross it because it was so busy. As you’d expect a major interstate to be. But this was the 80’s and the highways were still in-between the Eisenhower era designs & Reagan era updates, so there were a lot of whacked out intersections like this. I grew up on the road that T’d up there. Neal Ave.
My parents would drive us thru this crazy intersection often as kids. It was the most direct way to get to Stillwater, and all the other cities north-east of our home. It was also notorious for bad car accidents, many fatal. There was-still is, a 1800’s era cemetery off the westbound lane. The highway department just built around it. When I was a kid, my mom would take us out there often to “help” cut the grass & tidy up the monuments to keep them from disappearing in the over-growth. We’d do more exploring than helping, but my mom didn’t seem to mind. I’d get to play like a young “Indiana Jones” creating rubbing impressions on tracing paper of the weathered headstone’s while my mom ran the “clacky” sounding 2 tone John Deer push mower. I notice today that someone still keeps up the cemetery, not sure who? Wonder if their kids do the crayon rubbings?
My idea for this image centered around the idea of “taking off” and “exploring the unknown” like a rocket launching an astronaut into space. A lot of my life journeys have started here on this path, many were steps into the unknown or leaps of faith, like joining the Army at 18 or getting married.
I decided using a long exposure from the bridge would be the best way to play this idea off and get what I was looking for. Fortunately, the bridge is really wide and had a side area for bike traffic that works well for setting up a tripod. After several exposures with varying degrees of success, I spotted a large convoy of semi’s approaching, lit up like airplanes. I opened the shutter while the road was empty in the view finder, about 10 seconds before the first truck in the center lane came thru followed by 5 more in various lanes. Less than 10 minutes and I had my shot, and a little piece of history as I see it.
Devils Tower, in Wyoming, is famous for many reasons, particularly in popular culture as the center piece of Steven Spielberg’s movie “Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind”. It was also one of Americas first national parks. Established in 1906 by Theodore Roosevelt, it has a rich history with the Lakota Indians & other tribes of the area who’s folklore tells a tale of 2 girls who went out to play, were spotted by several giant bears, who began to chase them. In an effort to escape the bears, the girls then climbed atop a rock, fell to their knees, and prayed for the Great Spirit to save them. The Great Spirit made the rock rise from the ground towards the heavens so that the bears could not reach the girls. The Indians named the tower things like “Aloft on a Rock”, “Bear’s House”, ” Bear’s Lair” & ”Home of bears” The name Devil’s Tower originated in 1875 during an expedition led by Col. Richard Irving Dodge when his interpreter misinterpreted the name to mean Bad God’s Tower, which then became Devil’s Tower.
I made a trip to photograph it in 2010, but found my initial results disappointing. In 2012, I decided to try again with an epic 12 day road trip across the top of America from Minneapolis to Washington State, then south on PCH all the way to Los Angeles. 12 days to shoot whatever I wanted. It was great. The only rule was to never hit any interstates, just 2 lane roads as much as possible and see small town America. “Miles Between” was born.
I set off from Minneapolis on Highway 212 October 15th. After driving for 10 or so hours, I came upon the Devils Tower National Park and the monument itself, which didn’t stick out all that well in the pre dawn darkness. I had hoped to get an earlier start and arrive there around 1-2am for a few long exposures, but as travel and traffic would have it-4am would have to work. Entering the park, I followed the road to a parking lot at the base of the tower. Man it was dark, cold and kinda freaky outside! I set up my tripod outside my car and rigged a remote so I could sit in my car and stay warm ( and also, because it was pitch dark and I had no idea what kind of animals may have been roaming around the park) Luckily, I found out later it was a brave idea to stay in the car as I was surrounded by vicious, blood sucking Prairie Dogs that woulda killed me for sure.
The tower is a dark, light eating rock, as I mentioned earlier, that was not easy to see in the darkness. Fortunately, I had a spot-light style flash light that I could use on the tower to focus my lens on the features. I was using a Nikon D700 w/24-70 2.8G, which is normally awesome in low light-but this was no light-so it was up to me to do everything manually. No prob, thats what infinity is for on the lens right?
So this shot, my hero from the day, was actually a mistake. Well, maybe not a mistake, but definitely not the shot I was aiming for when I pulled in. This was the first year I had tried long exposures at night with any success, and my formula was to do a test shot at higher ISO, then use reciprocity to recalculate the similar exposures at lower ISO. Easy peazy. I relate long exposures to cooking, because once you know all the ingredients and mixed it up, it’s just a matter of waiting for it to be ready. Even with all that strategy, there are also happy accidents-like this. The image above was actually meant to be a set-up or test shot for focus. I had rigged the spotlight on a stand, with my camera set low to the ground, I peeked thru my view finder to set the focus. Once that was set, I tripped my shutter release to see what kind of exposure would result from ISO4000 F2.8@ 30 seconds.
About halfway thru the exposure, I realized the spotlight was still on. I was tired and prone to errors after traveling and jumping into shooting. This error, however would result in one of my favorite images and certainly one of the more unique shots that anyone has made of this iconic American treasure. I made a few other long exposures before the dawn light took over and the day arrived, but this was the stand out.
The afternoon was beautiful & the light was soft which allowed me to make one last hero portrait as I hit the road west.
Thanks and stay tuned for more stories behind the image.
HEAD SHOTS- I was recently commissioned by a local Minneapolis company to shoot 75 head shots in one day for the folks at S&T Office Supply. A great group of people, their company has recently been acquired by another client of ours who wanted to create some clean, simple images for their new web presence and marketing materials. 75 heads is no easy feat in one day. To achieve a nice, consistent look in a small space on location, I used a 36inch white seamless background with a Profoto 600R for the key light in an octobank set to F11. The background light was a Profoto 600R set about 1ft behind the subject and about 2-3 from the seamless at F16. I also built a few “apple boxes” to hold a large, white fill card underneath the subject and we set a 4×8 white flat opposite the key light. For an alternative look to the high-key setup, I also set up a key light just above the subject in a Beauty Dish and a kicker light with an orange gel in a grid at camera right, both set to F11. We rigged up a black velvet fabric on a dowling rod that could be easily tossed over the seamless background to make it a low key set. Once the lighting was all dialed in, I set up my Nikon D3 and tethered it to my Macbook pro using Adobe Lightroom and Capture One to handle incoming files. With the set all dialed in, it was easy to spend the day focusing on bringing out some great personality and having fun with the subjects. we shot 79 heads in total over 7.5 hours. No sweat=)
Enjoy the preview above and stay tuned for the next adventure=)
Shooting portraits for Guitar Aficionado has been a goal of mine for quite a long time. So, when the opportunity came, I jumped at it eagerly. The writer reached out to me after a client of mine in Las Vegas let him know I would be traveling there for another assignment. They needed a few images to accompany their Effects Profile article on Mike Rayburn. A Las Vegas based writer, performer and speaker. The images needed to be environmental portraits, shot horizontal with space for copy if they decided to run that on top of the image. They also need the image files as soon as the shoot wrapped in time to make selections for the print run. Rush big time, but not impossible. Normally, I’m not a fan of rushing off images right after a shoot as I like to get a chance to pick out the best, do a quick edit and sit on it for 24 hours before sending a selects folder. This schedule didn’t allow for that, and knowing that going into the shoot, I just made extra sure all set ups looked great without much post production help.
Being a guitar player myself, I always love a set full of vintage and high end instruments like these for props. The Van Halen Guitar was the most interesting one to me, although the Martin was a close runner up.
Mike Rayburn for Guitar Aficionado Magazine
Time again to gear up for what has become an annual trip to Las Vegas for our portrait shoot with the champion bowlers of the PBA for the 2014 ESPN World Series of Bowling. This is one of my favorite shoots and I feel so lucky to be a part of this event. The images we create are used thru out the year in many formats to promote all the PBA events worldwide. It has been such a gift to be welcomed into this family and to be able to create such fun portraits-WIN-WIN=)
This year I’m hoping to not only shoot for the clients, but also take the next step and fully complete these images with my retouching and deliver the best work to date. Here’s a couple looks at our past work with before and afters.
I will be in the Las Vegas, Moab and Denver areas November 1-3rd, available for short assignments-by estimate only. Contact us thru the website if you’d like to inquire about availability while we’re in town.
This spring, I decided that it was time I reviewed my strengths & weaknesses in Photoshop after using the program for over 12 years. A lot has changed over that time to say the least. It has been incredibly fun, albeit frustrating at times to learn, then master many of the techniques needed to step up a level or two. My main focus was on retouching people as well as compositing and blending techniques. Along the way I’ve mastered, like a ninja, more than I set out to, including the ability to make perfectly transparent liquid, smoke & fire outlines. These skills are huge for me, not for the show off factor-but for the ability to really get into a shot and create a vision in the minimal amount of time with maximum effect for myself and my clients. I was happy to share these skills on my latest branding project with IOS.
Here’s a fun Video of one of my latest edits from our Flyboys portfolio. Here’s a link to the screen video showing the process
Office Line Magazine recently looked to us to create a series of “real world” looking images for an article about a Minneapolis CFO, Jason Player of Innovative Office Solutions. This was a real treat for me, as Jason is not only a fun client, but also a good personal friend, photographer and beer aficionado who can make a great portrait himself. no pressure there……
To get a natural look (as natural as an office can look=) I used indirect lighting, bouncing the set ups off the celing. We were shooting inside of a glass office, so much like a fish bowl, it was just a matter of using cards and white walls. The final image was a close head shot, not a bad choice. This one was my favorite of the set ups. We also shot in the warehouse and tried a few slow long exposures with the flash and workers moving behind him. The set ups will follow once I have a chance to post the other images.

From the UK’s Sun tabloid (thanks to Twostellas):
MEDDLING cricket chiefs could ban the anthem Jerusalem from England’s home Test series against Pakistan next year in case it offends Muslims.
The English and Wales Cricket Board are worried about the words building the holy city “in England’s green and pleasant land”.
Why? Muslims should hardly be offended by the prospect of a “green” England. Look at, say, the flag of Saudi Arabia.

While the impact of the Central Bank Governor Naci Agbal’s dismissal continues on the economy, notably on foreign exchange (FX) rates, the management change has also become a key issue in politics. Agbal was dismissed from his post before he completed five months. The opposition parties proposed legal regulations and setting the term of office for 5 years in order to prevent dismissals. Republican People’s Party (CHP) Leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu announced ‘emergency confidence building measures’ consisting of 9 items stated that a crisis of confidence is now shaking the markets. The 9-item proposal notes specifically that there should be a guarantee that there will be no political intervention in independent institutions, especially in the Central Bank.
In accordance with Kilicdaroglu’s proposal, the Central Bank governor and all members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) should be dismissed. A reliable figure both in domestic and foreign public opinion with Central Bank origin, if possible, should be appointed to the governorship. The new governor should choose his deputy governors and MPC members, with whom he can coordinate, except one member to be appointed by the government. Reasons, buyers and methods of sales of the Central Bank’s reserves, which have been sold since March 2019, should be explained. The terms, facilitating the dismissal of the Central Bank governor and included in the current legislation in the recent period, should be removed. It should be ensured that the governor will not be dismissed from the post by the President or other authorities for at least for 5 years. Along the same line, the chairman and members of the Board of the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) should immediately be changed. Members based on merit should be appointed to their seats.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE SHOULD BE REBUILT
IYI Party will submit a 1-item legislative proposal regarding Central Bank governor appointments for 5 years and their immunity from dismissal in this period, according to the Party’s statement. IYI Party’s economy staff warned of the necessity of rebuilding of the Central Bank’s organizational structure.
WHY WAS AGBAL DISMISSED FROM HIS POST?
IYI Party Parliamentary Group Chairman Ismail Tatlioglu stated that President should share with the public the reason for Naci Agbal’s dismissal and the underlying reasons of this decision. “We have information that the Central Bank governor was dismissed from his post because he wanted to share how USD 128bn worth of FX reserves ‘melted’ the with the public. We received more information that this demand was made so that Central Bank policies will be more efficient,” said Tatlioglu.

Schools and offices of many sectors are closed amid the third wave of Corona. It is a big challenge for people to stay at home all day without meeting anyone and going somewhere, that too when they are not used to it. In such a situation, apart from everyday work, people are watching movies, playing games and eating without thinking along with it. Hungry late in the night, still eating and while doing office work, taking chutney of spicy chips. Eating throughout the day is considered a kind of disease, which is related to the human mind. Dr. Avani Tiwari, Senior Psychiatrist, Metro Hospital, is talking about this habit of eating all day.
What is Binge Eating Disorder?
Binge simply means continuously. When you do some work without looking at the time, outside the routine, then it is called binge. When we add the habit of eating to this, it is called Binge Eating Disorder. The surprising thing is that it is not related to our taste and desire to eat, but to mental trouble. When a person is mentally disturbed, then he incorporates such habits in his food. Dr. Tiwari says that people who eat this way are often struggling with depression or anxiety.
What is the eating pattern of people in this disorder?
If you want to eat something while staying at home, you can also eat fruits and salads.
What could be the reason for this?
According to Dr. Avani, whenever a person is upset, it is common for him to overeat. They are aware of their strange eating habits, but they are unable to control themselves. There can be many reasons for the occurrence of this disorder.
Genetic – If a family member has had a problem with binge eating disorder, then it is possible that another member may have the same problem.
Emotional trauma – Binge eating disorder is seen in people because of something that makes a person sad or unable to forget.
Dieting – Sometimes this disorder is also seen in people due to excessive dieting. Those who do strict dieting because of their body or weight, when they get a chance to eat, then they start eating what they get.
Psychological Disorders – According to a report, some sort of psychological disorder is seen in 80% of cases of binge eating disorder. People going through this condition are victims of post traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety or any phobia.
According to Dr. Tiwari, one can take the help of a psychologist to avoid this problem. Apart from behavior therapy, with the help of medicines, the bad habit of eating continuously can be overcome.

Unlike towing a front-wheel drive car, towing a rear-wheel drive one is way easier and more manageable.
Although it still has its problems and difficulties, they are much easier to overcome than those of FWR vehicles.
Knowing how to tow rear wheel drive car is important. But the one thing you first need to worry about is the car’s transmission (mechanics).
This should be your number one concern since it can make or break your car. There are two styles of transmission: automatic and manual transmission.
In the case of the automatic transmission, improper towing of these cars can ruin the transmission.
Using transportation engineering and vehicle technology, this guide only requires some skills of a DIY mechanic. You don’t need to have any expert tools.
How To Tow Rear Wheel Drive Car
There are some key differences between automatic and manual transmission. When your car has automatic transmission technology, it can change to different gears all by itself. This means that drivers do not need to make the adjustments.
On the other hand, mechanical engineering tells us that manual transmission cars rely on drivers.
They need to use the clutch to accelerate land transport. Let’s look at car layouts with manual transmission.
Manual Transmission Cars
As you might recall, the biggest issue in the process of towing a rear-wheel-drive car is how not to damage the transmission.
When you are driving a manual transmission automotive industry and using a tow bar, you can put it in neutral and do the trick.
But how do people go about towing a rear wheel drive car with manual transmission?
You first need to get your tow strap attached to the front part of the frame. Also, many motor vehicles have tow eyelets.
There are a lot of cars equipped with these. You would want to use it to protect the car during transportation to the dealership.
To join the tow strap, you have to try finding safe places. You should be careful not to attach this strap to the engine or radiator core support.
Another thing to avoid is using chains for towing. These have a high chance of breaking and then becoming hostile projectiles.
The next step is to attach the vehicles doing the towing with the strap. One example of a safe point for attachment is a trailer hitch. This is also the case for the tow eyelets.
You shouldn’t attach to the bumper that doesn’t come with the exhaust system or tow hitch.
Similar to the components of the engine and core support, areas like these are not strong enough to support the pulling of another car.
The next appropriate step is releasing its parking brake. You have to shift into the neutral transmission.
This lets the towed wheeled vehicles roll back. Now, whenever possible, it will hold the slack of the tow strap.
In case it is not plausible, you will have to let the leading vehicle take up the slack by idling forward.
The car being towed ought to hold the slack on the towing strap tight plus secured during the towing process.
This also helps the towing car (vehicle) decelerate at a stop and when making a turn.
When towing a rear wheel drive car on a dolly or dealing with automatic transmission, you must disconnect the drive shaft.
There is also the option to use additional accessories such as lube pumps and driveshaft couplings.
Unless you use a driveshaft coupling, you will need to remove the driveshaft itself. Using it enables you to switch between two modes: driving and towing.
When the drive shaft is engaged, you switch to driving. Likewise, when the drive shaft is disengaged is when you are towing.
It can be a quick solution for an otherwise time-consuming process of disconnecting the drive shaft. So how to tow an RWD car with a dolly?
The first step of how to tow a rear wheel drive automatic car is to support and raise the rear of the car.
You can do this using jack stands and a floor jack. You would want the jack to support the car’s weight. So you need to put the jack stands below the rear axle.
Now, you can try to remove drive shaft for towing. But first, you need to remove the securing bolts.
These are holding the shaft to the back differential. The next action includes sliding it into the transmission.
Then, you can try lowering it. Next is pulling it from the transmission’s rear. You can now start securing the U-joint caps using tapes. Tape can help you avoid damaging the U-joint.
Moreover, lube pumps can offer much-needed lubrication to the automatic transmission.
Find these manufactured goods to ensure it gets the cooling it would otherwise get when the automotive technologies are operating at normal capacity.
On a final note, we think it is always a good idea to consult your manual for safety precautions plus instruction.
It is important to know the towing capacity of the vehicle. Therefore you need to make sure that you are aware of it. So you can choose your towing method.
Frequently Ask Questions
Is RWD Best For Towing?
Having to tow rear-wheel-drive vehicles is not as bad as having to do so with a front-wheel drive.
FWDs are a more optimal choice as the front wheels are light and have superior steering power.
Also, they are better considering the trailer’s tongue weight and the power transfer. This means the rear of your vehicle squats, which would give the rear four-wheel drive more traction.
What Happens If You Tow A Rear-Wheel-Drive?
It is fine to take out the rear driveshaft most of the time. You can tow vehicles with the back wheels positioned on the road to prevent damage to the transmission.
Also, you risk damage to manual transmissions in case you tow it away while I am in the vehicle in “park”. You should only tow vehicles in “neutral”.
Can You Tow A Rear-Wheel-Drive Car In Park?
Yes, if the drive wheels are on the ground. When you tow a vehicle with an automatic, it will damage the transmission.
When in a park, the drive wheels will likely skid. This can cause damage to the tires.
In conclusion, if you go through this post thoroughly, we are confident that you can know how to tow rear wheel drive car. Remember to follow the guide step by step to keep your vehicle in its greatest shape.
In case you wonder: how to tow a front wheel drive car, stay tuned, and don’t forget to visit our next posts!


As rumors continue to swirl about the possibility of a handful of Republican senators considering a break from President Donald Trump by voting to convict him if the House-led impeachment reaches a Senate trial, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tamed the rumors on Thursday, saying he doesn't believe anyone on his side will defect.
According to The Hill, McConnell was confident when Fox News' Sean Hannity asked if he believed any Republican senators would turn on the president and vote alongside Democrats in their effort to impeach and remove the president from office.
"I doubt it. There's zero chance the president... would be removed from office, and I'm hoping we'll have no defections at all," McConnell explained.
Doubling down on his prediction that Senate Democrats won't be able to convince any of their Republican colleagues to vote against the president, McConnell suggested that the Republicans might even pick up several Democrats who are willing to vote with them for an acquittal.
"It wouldn't surprise me if we got one or two Democrats. It looks to me over in the House, the Republicans seem to be solid and the Democrats seem to be divided," McConnell said to Hannity.
As The Hill reported, two of those Democratic defectors could include Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Doug Jones. Both represent either red states or districts where Trump won during the 2016 election against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Further strengthening the claim is what Manchin said during a recent CNN interview about his thoughts on voting to impeach the president.
"I'm very much torn on it," Manchin said. "I think it weighs on everybody."
McConnell's prediction came on the same day that former Massachusetts governor and current 2020 Republican presidential challenger Bill Weld floated the possibility of up to six Republican senators who are privately considering going against the president and the White House in a Senate trial, as reported by The Inquisitr.
During an interview with The Hill, Weld claimed that because of his close relationships with many senators, he was aware of a small list who are considering defection.
"I wouldn't want to get quoted," Weld said. "I don't even like to ask someone to do something which is not in their political self-interest. But yeah, I would say they're four to six votes for removal right now."
For a successful conviction of the president, a two-thirds majority vote would need to take place, which is 67 total senators. Republicans currently control the chamber with 53 seats, so it would require an unprecedented number of Republican defectors for Democrats to have Trump impeached and removed.

Moran, who played Joanie Cunningham on the hit '70s sitcom and most recently appeared on "Celebrity Fit Club" in 2008, is now living in a trailer park in New Salisbury, Indiana after being evicted from her California home.
The 51-year-old actress is sharing her new digs with husband Steve Fleischmann, a former furniture mover who is now working at a local Walmart ... and his mother.
Moran, who got her start on "Happy Days," went on to star in her own spin-off "Joanie Loves Chachi" in the '80s followed by walk-on roles on "The Love Boat" and "Murder, She Wrote."
Today, Moran is reportedly taking care of her ailing mother-in-law and flashing New Salisbury locals while having a little too much fun in a local bar.“Life hasn’t been kind to Erin since the foreclosure of her home,” a family friend told The Enquirer. “She and Steve moved in with his ailing mother at the trailer park a few weeks back. Erin is like an angel to her mother-in-law. She cooks and cleans for her and takes care of her personal hygiene. But to look at Erin today you’d never know she was once one of TV’s biggest stars. Her peaches-and-cream complexion is a maze of wrinkles and crow’s feet. She’s aged terribly.”
But the nearly broke, former star could be seeing a paycheck soon.
A judge recently ruled that Moran and a few of her "Happy Days" co-stars will be permitted to go to court in attempts to regain royalties for sales of "Happy Days" DVD sets.
The group's unpaid royalties are worth roughly $250,000 to $500,000.
