For the next few weeks I'm working my way through a massive bulk lot, filled with bulk LEGO and around 80 sets. I'm planning on building them all, giving them a quick review, and telling you all about the interesting parts I find. You can readPart 3 here.
It's been a pretty busy week, with a number of sets being built. There are still a fair few to go, so the pressure's on! This week we had Mixels galore, and my first foray into the Aqua Raiders theme, but we'll get to that soon. For now, let's take a look at those Mixels!
Volectro is another Series 1 Mixel, this time coming from the Electroids. I think there's only him in the bulk lot, we're missing the other two. It's a shame, but he's still my favourite one of the three.
There's one element in particular that leaves this Mixel in a league of it's own – the yellow hair, which is actually a recoloured plant. This set is still the only set you can get the element in, so it's a special one, but that's it. The rest of the parts are pretty standard, although when the theme was released, the hinge ball joints were new. Nowadays they're pretty common, seen in all the Mixels to date.
The set has a bit of moveability, but not much. The legs are a little short, and the arms only move up and down from the shoulders, with the elbows bending and the fingers moving up and down. I'd like to see a bit more mobility in him. It can easily be changed after the fact.
The build was pretty standard for a Mixel. It took me a bit of time to find the parts I needed – luckily there aren't too many yellow parts in the pile! I'm not sure why, but Volectro's bum keeps falling off! He's got a SNOT 1×2 plate with 2×2 vertical studs, and it's very loose. It's a shame as the rest of the build is pretty strong. It's got some basic SNOT, as most Mixels will.
For all his shortcomings, he looks pretty great! The use of the bush for hair is very clever.
There's a pretty big difference in current sale prices – around $35 for new, and $15 for old. I think it might be the hair. This set is increasing in value, so if you're able to get one or two, do so. It's special getting a Series 1 Mixel – it's a good theme to collect.
It's still a pretty run of the mill Mixel, but good to have in the collection.
Slumbo comes from the Series 2 Frosticons. He looks pretty interesting!
There are some very interesting parts in this one, as well as a lot of normal stuff. Firstly, I love the colours. These blues just look so vibrant! The big ticket items for me are the 4×3 brick with bow and angle, the cyclops heads, the blue transparent crystal, and those frost blades on his hands. They are a great addition to have, and can be used for lots of other things. You also get two blue helmets – they're pretty common, but still good to have!
Again, this one isn't all that moveable. His shoulders move up and down, and his elbows in and out. He's got the same amount of movement in his feet as Volectro. Nice to have some ability to position him, but there's not that much.
The build comes along pretty quickly – there's not that much to him! He's pretty strong though, so that's good.
I really like the use of helmets to give him that sleepy look, but the hands are just a little weird for me. I don't know if he's holding the frost blades, or if they are his hands! By the looks of the cartoon version, they are his fingers, but they just don't look right on the build. The rest of him is pretty good.
As with many of the Mixels, collectibility is high because they're easy and well suited to collect. Value for money is a bit lower with this one. There's not a whole lot of value to the individual elements here, he's pretty mid-range compared to the other Mixels.
The parts in this set are pretty good. The wings in particular are a nice addition, being seen in Chima and Elves sets already. We get two more cyclops heads, and two witches hats! These are brilliant – not hard to get, but a very fitting addition.
Seeing as Mesmo has wings, he's got much more swooshability. His legs are very limited in positioning, so that lets him down.
Due to his short stature, the build comes along pretty quickly. He's pretty strong too.
His wings and those hats are a great couple of features. I like his little goatee on his chin, but his teeth don't look that great. Many of the Mixels have spiky teeth, but the use of 1×1 plates and tiles just don't do him justice. Some fangs would have gone really well with the build.
This little guy isn't doing so great in the resale value area. Over the last few months on Bricklink, he's not yet broken $10. There might be a change in the air with the prices available now, but I can't see it happening. For some pretty nice parts, the collectibility and is pretty low with this one. On the other hand, value for money is pretty nice, with these low prices.
Lunk comes from the Series 2 Frosticons, just like Slumbo. He's a bit of a goofy looking character, with a long neck.
The elements in this set are pretty mediocre. There's only two elements of note – the ice swords used as snot (actual snot, not SNOT like we know it!), and the transparent 2×2 pieces on his head and belly.
Lunk has not very much mobility in his arms, as they're only pivotable in one direction, but his neck has a variety of movement, as do his very short feet. They're a little small, so not much, but there's some there. He's also able to balance on one foot due to his low centre of gravity.
The build with this little guy is pretty good. He's pretty durable, and comes together pretty quickly. He's just a touch different to the other Mixels I've seen.
I really like the look of Lunk. He's very different, with the elongated neck. His hands are once again very small but I think it's ok – it suits him.
Once again, Lunk is a Mixel, so they're very collectible. The going rate on this set is pretty steady, sitting at around $12.
The Aqua Raiders is a theme of seven sets (I'm going to be building them all) that focus on a bunch of under-water deep sea divers and their exploits in the Bermuda Triangle. There are some great sets here, with some beautifully crafted sea creatures. The submarines and high tech equipment is pretty good too!
This one is the smallest of the theme, with a small one man submarine, and a treasure chest with goodies, and a couple of snakes.
When this set was released in '07, the rear stabiliser in yellow was a new release element. The minifigure was also a new design, with the printed trident helmet and diving mask. This element has been seen in many underwater sets since, and also in this year's Deep Sea Explorers sets in the City theme. The seaweed and spearguns are also good additions, and many more will be seen in the Aqua Raiders theme. Aside from that though, the elements are pretty standard.
When I was putting this together, the minfigure was missing (he'll turn up somewhere), and a snake was missing, but everything else was found. A pretty great result!
While the set is great, and the submarine allows for some really good play, with the possible swooshing around of the submarine thing, there's only a couple of other things you can do with the vehicle, if this is the only set you have. The grabbing claws at the front of the vehicle are able to grab a hold of the treasure chest, and even the seaweed or a snake, but that's it. The diver is able to get one of the spearguns and swim off by himself as well. It does have some good playability, but this is really enhanced with the other sets.
The build comes together pretty quickly (if you have the parts readily available). The rocks come first, followed by the filling of the treasure chest, and the vehicle being built last. It's a pretty simple build, with one on top of another – nothing overly special.
I like the look of the submarine, but there's nothing for the minifigure to grab on too for steering! I thought this was a little strange. The rocks and seaweed to me seemed like a bit of an afterthought, but it does go well with the set, and if you only have this set, it makes it clear that the setting is underwater.
For an relatively old set, the value for money is pretty good. It's still pretty cheap to get online, especially if you're looking at a used copy, with it setting you back less than $10. For a new copy, you'll most likely pay double. The value is pretty steady, and I don't imagine it getting any better, seeing as it's an old set that won't likely get a reboot, and being the smallest set of the theme.
Collectibility-wise, it's good to get, especially if you're interested in getting the other Aqua Raiders sets. It's the simplest one, but the value for money is good, so it's worth it.
It's a cheap set, with some good parts included, it would have been a stellar option to purchase as new. Even now, it's worth picking up. The build is simple, so great for kids, but doesn't challenge the builder. The main thing is it looks interesting.
This was the first Aqua Raiders set with a deep sea monster, the Angler Fish. It's a small set, but a brilliant one.
The year this came out, the newest elements were once again, the minifigure, the fins and jets on the underwater jet thing, and on the fish itself. On the fish in particular, the elements weren't new, but the colours were. The earth blue elements are a beautiful colour, and there's also no stickers on this – the face of the fish is printed on, which is a bonus. The other elements of note are the large teeth of the fish, that glow in the dark – what an inclusion! Some brilliant parts in this set. The minifigures in these sets are all very nicely printed, with some good accessories. I'm not sure if the jackhammer really fits underwater, but it's good enough to pass!
This set has a lot of swoosh to it! The fish's fins are all moveable, and the big, imposing jaw moves up and down too, with the little underwater jet great fun to swoosh around. I don't know how it'll go matched up to that monster fish – maybe it's really fast? There's also an added bonus play element in the set. If you push down on the lever in the rock, the top pops off to reveal some treasure underneath. It's a great addition.
The build starts with the rock part. It's pretty simple, so comes together quickly. The underwater jet comes next, again, being pretty quick to put together. The best part of the build is obviously the fish. You start with the top jaw and body, followed by the bottom jaw and monster teeth. The sides of the fish come next, with some simple SNOT techniques, finished off with the tail. It's a great build experience. Simple enough for younger kids to try, and good enough for adults to get a kick out of too.
This set, and the fish in particular, look fantastic. It's easily recognisable as an Angler Fish, and is scary looking too! A great design that LEGO should definitely be proud of. I also like the fact that the jet is stand-up driven. The missing point here goes to where the second diver goes. Does he hold on to the wing, or just swim himself, hoping to outrun the fish? It's a very small gripe, but I felt had to be mentioned. Aside from that, it's a brilliant set.
Being the only Angler Fish in the LEGO range, this set is a must for underwater fans. It's a great addition to an underwater theme. The collectibility, especially if you're getting the rest of the Aqua Raiders theme is pretty high. Value for money is seeing a bit of a steady increase, but the used sets are pretty stable at around $10. If you're looking at a new set, you'll need to triple that. It's still worth it though.
A great set to get, that will get people marvelling at LEGO once again!
That's it for this week – I've built a few more sets, but they'll get reviewed next week. There's still plenty more to come. Stay tuned!

Manchester United vs Chelsea | FA Cup Match Preview
EPL Index > Chelsea (NN) > Manchester United vs Chelsea | FA Cup Match Preview
Following Tuesday's hugely disappointing exit from the European Cup, Manchester United now have to fully focus their attention on the two remaining titles within their grasp, the Premier League and secondly the FA Cup. Next in line are Chelsea as the big games keep on coming for Manchester United. Can they beat Chelsea? Betting giant bwin have all the odds, why not bet on the game?
Sir Alex Ferguson's men will have more than a statement to make following the controversial manner in which they crashed out of Europe this week and you fear for Chelsea that they may well be set to walk straight into a Manchester United side fired up by injustice when the two sides meet this Sunday at Old Trafford in an FA Cup quarter final.
Chelsea similarly will feel they have a point to prove following their disappointing week in Europe with the current Champions League holders going down 1-0 to a hardworking, impressive Steaua Bucharest side in Romania however with Benitez still in charge at Chelsea it is going to be anything but a game which Chelsea supporters are looking towards with a great deal of expectation and hope with many expecting Rafa Benitez's tumultuous reign as Interim Manager at Chelsea to come to an end should the Blues fall to a defeat on Sunday.
Manchester United in fairness haven't really had to exit 2nd gear in their FA Cup campaign thus far this season with the exception possibly being at Upton Park where it took a late, late Robin Van Persie equaliser to send the tie to a replay, since then there have been routine wins over West Ham at Old Trafford, Fulham and latterly Reading with Nani particularly impressing in that fixture.
The same can be said for Chelsea with Benitez's men recording a comfortable 5-1 away victory at Southampton before having to get past rivals Brentford via a replay at Stamford Bridge before comfortably beating Middlesbrough at the Riverside 2-0 although that night will be remembered not for the result but for Rafa's outburst. Chelsea seem to be on an ever deepening ascent from the moment Di Matteo was removed from his job by Roman Abramovich following a defeat to Juventus in Turin earlier this season and now it seems the Europa League or FA Cup is Chelsea's only realistic chance of silverware following a season that had promised much more.
Manchester United will more than likely welcome Wayne Rooney back into the starting line-up after the tactical decision to axe the former Everton man midweek against Madrid (could Rooney leave?), Javier Hernandez after having played no part on Tuesday evening is expected to return to the starting line-up. Sir Alex in his weekly press conference this morning confirmed that Sunday's fixture against Chelsea is coming just too soon for Phil Jones "Phil won't be ready for Sunday but he'll be ready for the following week" and as such we may see a return to the side for Chris Smalling with Rafael da Silva potentially being rested after the shift he put in against Cristiano Ronaldo midweek. Sir Alex also confirmed to the media that following his excellent display against Real Madrid, veteran Ryan Giggs will play no part in Sunday's tie against Chelsea with the boss citing "knowing how to look after him" as the reason for giving the Welshman a rest.
Chelsea will welcome Demba Ba back into the starting eleven on Sunday with the Senegalese international missing the trip to Bucharest due to being cup-tied. Juan Mata was given a partial rest yesterday evening against Steaua with the Spaniard coming off the bench after sixty-four minutes of play and it is widely expected that he will return to the Chelsea team on Sunday. Ashley Cole was an unused substitute in Europe and will return to his position of left back at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Interesting Statistics
Manchester United faced Chelsea at Old Trafford in exactly the same round of the FA Cup in the 1998-1999 treble winning season with the game finishing 0-0 and going to a replay at Stamford Bridge three days later which United won 2-0.
Manchester United haven't won the FA Cup in the past eight seasons excluding this current campaign, in that time Chelsea have claimed the trophy a staggering four times.
Chelsea have appeared in six FA Cup finals since the turn of the Millennium, Manchester United have appeared in three.
Interim Chelsea Manager Rafael Benitez has only managed to reach the FA Cup final once in his career, in this solitary final his Liverpool side defeated West Ham United 3-1 on penalties to claim the Merseysiders seventh FA Cup.
Key Players
After a sublime hat trick against Norwich City last weekend Kagawa will have no doubt found himself disappointed to be left on the substitutes bench for the visit of Real Madrid, however I believe this decision was made on the evidence seen in the first leg at the Bernabeu where Kagawa struggled to get into the game with the pace and regularity of Real Madrid's pressing game forcing him into numerous errors on the ball.
Shinji Kagawa has operated mainly in the final third this season
Sunday's game will be far more suited to Kagawa with United playing at home against a Chelsea side which in using a 4-2-3-1 formation can often be found wanting at the back, if Kagawa can position himself like against Norwich just in the hole between midfield and the forwards it could be a very profitable avenue for United to work in on Sunday.
With the Japanese international having seemingly shaken off the injuries that have somewhat plagued his début season at Old Trafford it seems as though fans are seeing what is close to the best of the former Dortmund man and Chelsea's at times somewhat erratic defensive line will have to avoid pushing up too far as Kagawa would punish them in very much the same manner Scott Parker and Gylfi Sigurdsson did to Arsenal in last weekend's North London derby, with their clever reverse passes splitting the Gunners' flatfooted less than athletic defence for both Spurs goals.
Juan Mata Creativity 2012/13
There is sizeable emphasis put on solid defending with trust being put in the more attacking players to make the most of the chances when they come along and there is no doubt Juan Mata will do that on Sunday. Mata also being a dead ball specialist could bring David De Gea into action should United as they have done at times this season give away any sloppy free kicks in and around their own penalty area.
With Demba Ba being preferred as the lone striker since his mid-season move to Chelsea it is expected Mata will play in the central position of the attacking midfield, just behind Ba with Hazard and Oscar being given the responsibility of creating chances from wider areas, almost like inside forwards replicating the way Ronaldinho and Ludovic Giuly played for Frank Rijkaard's earliest Barcelona side.
FA Cup Odds via bwin Bets
£20 wins you:
Chicarito to score 1st: £120
Demba Ba to score 1st: £170
Rooney scores & United win 1-0: £580
Both teams score in 1st half: £72
Chelsea leading HT but United win FT: £460

You don't have to wear a HALO to be a HOLY PARSON
Seven Essentials for Successful Pastoral Ministry
by Everett Stenhouse
In the beginning of pastoral ministry there is commonly a sense of preparedness. Schools have educated us. Theologians have trained us. Church hierarchies have credentialed us. Therefore we are ready to demonstrate all the pious characteristics of pastoral sainthood. But who made us a saint? When did that happen?
Pastors and pirates, doctors and dictators, scholars and simpletons, are all made in the image of God but all are earth-bound creatures and as such are subject to all this world's moral and spiritual gravity.
Pastoral robes and sanctified sanctuaries have little to offer in the making of pastors into superior specimens of humanity. Pastors are not awarded memberships to associations for the spiritually elite.
The successful pastor is concerned less with the polishing of his own halo and more with being clothed with divine authority to proclaim the good tidings of fallen man's reconciliation to God.
Pastoral success can have many definitions, but it cannot easily be defined by personality and/or slick programming and it cannot hope to survive as eternal success when tethered to entrepreneurial and/or secular pursuits. Pastoral success is ministry to hurting people.
The Seven Essentials to Successful Pastoral Ministry are each joined inextricably to the seriousness with which the pastor/shepherd relates to God, God's Word, and the people he/she has been called to serve. They are based upon the reasonable assumption that many other vital qualifications are resident in the life of the pastor. These essentials embody the essence of what every successful pastor knows and possesses. There are few, if any, known exceptions.
In addition to the Seven Essentials to Successful Pastoral Ministry consideration is given to Seven Highly Desirable Additional Qualities worthy of energetic and prayerful pursuit. May God go with us in the pursuing
The Seven Essentials of Successful Pastoral Ministry is an invitation to look deep into the heart of the successful pastor who mounts the pulpit on the Lord's Day to speak of the unsearchable riches of Christ.
It affords the reader opportunity to contemplate more than the contents of a sermon or the mechanics of preaching, but to carefully and prayerfully view the inner workings of the pastor's soul. None would disagree with the suggestion that what a person is outruns, outspeaks, and outlasts what a person says.
The Chief Shepherd said it clearly: "Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man [or woman] brings good things out of the good stored up in him." That good man can be the pastor. That pastor must be that good man.
Everett Stenhouse has served the Lord's church and his denomination in a variety of roles including pastor, evangelist, district youth director, missionary to Greece, district, superintendent, national assistant general superintendent, national executive presbyter, chairman of boards for the A/G Theological Seminary and Vanguard University

JUNE 2017: Featured Artist
Artist & Scientist:
Robert Bohan, Ph.D.
Robert Bohan was born in Dublin, Ireland. He has been passionate about art from an early age and could draw before he could walk. He studied art & art history and was offered a scholarship to art college. However, he chose to pursue natural sciences at Trinity College in Dublin where he was awarded a scholarship to pursue a doctorate in botany. Drawn into the IT world and his interest in digital photography, he worked in the corporate world for two decades.
He was encouraged to share his work on social media where his art has garnered significant interest, and he is now the most followed artist in Ireland. His work is in collections in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, the United States & Canada. Working in a variety of media, especially pen & ink, his work is emotionally autobiographical and draws strongly on the subconscious as well as his experience of science and nature. Clarity of line, bright colors and strong composition characterize his paintings and drawings in a way that is uniquely his.
Robert's unique photo collections from cities throughout Europe can be viewed from his website.

Self Portrait with Mitochondria
An Irish Flora
Myrna Beth Haskell was curious about the juxtaposition of science and art in Robert's work.
How have you combined your studies in both art and science into your work?
Science and art have always been the twin pillars of my life. As a toddler, I would watch the Open University on television. I remember the physics lectures best - not least for the kipper ties the academics often wore. Before I could walk, I could draw; so it was inevitable, I suppose, that the two would come together. In secondary school my favorite subjects were art, geography and biology. Even though I was offered an art scholarship, I ended up studying natural sciences at Trinity College in Dublin. I studied scientific graphic techniques with a focus on clarity, accuracy of description and truth. I combined this with botany and zoology where drawing what you studied was a key component of the work. Afterwards, I was awarded a scholarship to undertake a doctorate in botany, and I also studied botanical illustration. So, the connection between science and art was intrinsic for me.
My process in creating an artwork is entirely based on my subconscious. As I draw or paint, I have no idea what is going to appear on the page, and often it takes me a while to work out what it is that I have depicted. Over time, I've uncovered cells, bacteria, slime molds, insects and all manner of plants and beasts. They are never quite how they looked as I peered down at them through a microscope or studied them in the wild years before. These life forms have been altered, played with and teased until they have become cyphers for my own experience and emotions.
My relationship with science as an artist is based on authenticity. It's important to me that the images come from within and that the science is the medium and not the message. Art is all about emotion. It's a form of self-expression first and foremost - and, for me, that is about identity. My work is about the human condition and understanding how the mind is connected with the body and our environment, seen through the prism of my own life. I have an enormous curiosity about what it is to be ourselves and to be aware and to feel - as humans, as animals and as life forms. My artwork explores that and maps that profound curiosity in what I think of as mindscapes - metaphysical landscapes of the mind. Science gave me the opportunity to set the human condition in the context of the natural world and art has allowed me to express it.
Robert describes some of his shared pieces (see work at top)...
Many of my drawings, for instance, have stylized mitochondria. These are the parts of cells that generate energy to keep things going. In my drawings, they can be symbols of energy or partnership or transcendence - after all, a parasite is generally a threat, but the wonder of nature is that they have become a blessing that allowed animal cells to develop and evolve reaching their highest form in that grey matter between our ears.
Another aspect of my work is the series I've called an Irish Flora. These are plants created by my subconscious drawn from the thousands I've studied and re-imagined into new and exotic vegetation. Perhaps the piece most people associate me with is of a flower. Its called In Memoriam [see above] and was done as I was coming to terms with my best friend having taken his life. It's a plant pulled from the earth, the seed from which it grew still visible at its roots. It has an orange flower, like an explosion, with a face expressing grief and introspection.
In parallel with these exotic blooms are a series of strange beasts. The many hours I spent sitting on the wooden floor of the University Zoology Museum studying and sketching skeletons and specimens of the entire animal kingdom reappear in these works metamorphosed into a weird and wonderful series of animals. They too exhibit human characteristics echoing my emotions. Most have a human eye and are self-portraits. That one eye reflects the fact that several years ago I was blinded in one and nearly lost the other. Following that traumatic time, I unleashed a period of creativity and unlocked that connection between my subconscious and my work. It was as if the mind's eye replaced the blinded one.

If there's one Filipino idiosyncracy that I wish to banish forever, it is the misconception of most of us that all products abroad are always far superior than what we have here. I remember when I was a child whenever a relative returns home or send stuff back, the whole family eagerly awaits for their share of pasalubong. Whatever that is, so long that it is a foreign brand, most of the time we brag about it.
When I took the path of entrepreneurship to follow my heart's desire to run an online shop, I realized creating a business is not always about making money. If you want a business that will last for a long period and positively change lives, it should have a purpose deeper than making a profit out of it.
I have been to a lot of meetups and heard countless entrepreneurs around the metro even read tons of how their humble beginning stories... all goes back to finding one's passion and turning it to a business.
The MUNI Market Day is one great example of a venue where our very own filipino - made products are showcased to the public and get to know the sucessful people behind these. I also loved the concept of having talks about healthy lifestyle via promoting organic products and building more conscious - driven businesses. There were 12 brands participated: Edgy Veggy, The Daily Jusa, Tsaa Daloy, Lotuspod, R&R, Tala Luna, Gouache, Good Food Co, Lagu, Custom - made Crafts, Gawad Kalinga and Nipa Food.
Theo and Philo Artisan Chocolate, a chocolate brand blended with lots of "outrageous" flavors like siling labuyo, ginger, calamansi but boy they taste so awesomely great!
Also able to witness two talks that celebrate healthy living through food. The take aways I learned that day was we filipinos should not be ashamed to make a farming as a profession. We should make more efforts to eat fresh food like vegetables and plants.
The second talk celebrated the promotion of entrepereneurship to each one of us.Gawad Kalinga has a program that offers mentorship, support and connections to anyone who has a life - changing idea that can transform into a sustainable business.
I enjoyed a lot. I bought teas from Tsaang Daloy, chocolate from Theo & Philo and not shown in the photo is a bottle of detoxifying juice from Thedailyjusa. Also I am planning to subscribe to Good Food Community's veggie deliveries because I have no time to prepare my own.

What is an application layer firewall?
An application layer firewall is a neutral term for providing filtering capabilities on application layer (i.e. layer 5 and 6). In order to do so it must be able to understand application specialties on the session layer and content specialties on the application layer.
An application layer firewall can be implemented as a standalone entity, or as a built in functionality on the application server (e.g. as web server plugin). This functionality is also part of next generation firewalls, sometimes also under the label of deep packet inspection.
The degree of required application awareness becomes a key issue if the application layer is complex. This is the case for securing web applications. It is a lot of effort, not only because it requires a large number of protocols to be fully implemented, it might also require the understanding of correct application behavior workflows, and to catch also technology differences of some implementations e.g. of web servers or browsers of different vendors.
A WAF is a special version of an application layer firewall because it simply would be too much to implement it on a standard firewall or similar generic security device. However, there is a trend to enrich generic security devices with simplified WAF functionality. Nevertheless, dedicated WAF solutions would not be so popular if web application security would be easy to implement and to operate.
Other reverse or forward proxies which are not http based can also be considered as application layer firewalls if they provide filtering capabilities on layer 5 or 6. However, many such proxy solutions do not provide such filtering because they are merely used as connection proxies. It always makes sense to consider filtering and connection capabilities of such proxy solutions separately.
In this sense, a networked WAF like the Airlock can also be considered as http router having WAF filtering capabilities.

A pigeongram. Source: Museum of the French Postal Service.
The pigeongram was a small microfilm designed to be transported by carrier pigeon.
It was invented during the time of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and the Siege of Paris.
On 7 October 1870, Léon Gambetta, France's Ministry of the Interior, fled besieged Paris by hot-air balloon. The minister escaped to Tours, and then Bordeaux.
On 4 November, the system of transporting dispatches by carrier pigeon was inaugurated. Some 302 pigeons (other sources give a higher number of 409) were loaded into the wicker baskets of hot-air balloons. The majority of these pigeons belonged to Paris citizen who patriotically donated them to the services of the authorities.

After their arrival in Tours (or Bordeaux), they were fitted with small tubes containing 3-4 cm microfilms on collodion (a transparent material made from cellulose nitrate in ether and alcohol). The pigeons were then released as near to Paris as they could get, the idea being they would hopefully reach their original points of departure in Paris. Yet only 50 pigeons or so managed to find their way home. For the pigeons that made it back, the microfilms they delivered were placed between sheets of glass and projected onto a large screen using a magic lantern. The texts were then carefully transcribed then distributed to the intended recipients.

West Lafayette, IN and Chicago, IL - June 5, 2018 - Agricultural producer sentiment rose last month to its highest level since January 2017, as producers expressed an improved view of current conditions and future expectations of the U.S. agricultural economy, according to the Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer.
The May barometer reading of 141 was 16 points higher than April.
The rise in the barometer, a sentiment index derived from a monthly survey of 400 agricultural producers across the U.S., was driven both by producers' improved view of current conditions in the production agriculture sector and, especially, their more optimistic view of the future.
The Index of Current Conditions increased to 132 during May, 9 points higher than in April, while the Index of Future Expectations climbed to 145, 19 points higher than a month earlier, making it the highest future expectations reading since February 2017.
Driving that optimism was a large improvement in producers' expectations regarding the future for both the U.S. ag economy and their own farms' financial condition.
"Over the last month there's been a relaxation in international trade tensions with China and that seems to be playing a role in how producers are viewing their financial future," said James Mintert, the barometer's principal investigator and director of Purdue University's Center for Commercial Agriculture.
The rise in the Index of Future Expectations was the largest one-month increase since January 2017.
This was in contrast to last month's reading when, in the midst of deteriorating trade relations, there was a decline in sentiment towards the agricultural economy as a whole and with respect to producers' own farming operations.
Despite the improvement in sentiment, producers' perspectives on making large investments on their farms changed very little with only 27 percent of producers saying now is a good time to make large farm investments.
Producers also weighed in on the farm bill debates taking place in Congress.
When asked whether the current 2014 version of the U.S. farm bill provided producers with a financial safety net, only 25 percent of respondents said it was effective.
More specifically, when asked about the current ARC-County (Agricultural Risk Coverage) and PLC (Price Loss Coverage) income support programs included in the 2014 farm bill, only one-quarter of the respondents said these programs were effective in providing a financial safety net and nearly one-third said they were not effective.
When asked about crop insurance, an integral part of current farm bill discussions, nearly two-thirds of producers considered the crop insurance program to be effective in providing a financial safety net.
Lastly, the May survey asked what actions, if any, a producer would take if changes to the crop insurance subsidy caused insurance premiums to increase by 50 percent.
More than half of producers said they would change either the insurance product they purchase or their coverage level and just over a quarter of respondents said they would not purchase crop insurance next year if their cost increased by half.
For additional information about producer sentiment regarding Farm Bill legislation including crop insurance and subsidies, read the full May Ag Economy Barometer report at http://purdue.edu/agbarometer.

We know that no one person or injury is the same and that's why we use a combination of different techniques and technology to assure you get great results in a short time period. Our comprehensive evaluation was designed to give us important information about your problem, your goals and your lifestyle so that we can track progress and personalize a plan for your recovery and goals.
Way to often patients make great strides in their recovery and get better, but eventually end up getting injured again. Once the pain is gone and insurance stops paying for the therapy, patients stop focusing on their health needs and old injuries come back or new ones arise. In an effort to stop this we have created a maintenance program.
Our program was designed with only our patients in mind. When a patient finishes therapy they can be placed in a maintenance program specifically for them that doesn't require insurance and is still very affordable. Not only can they continue to be healthy but they can even make improvements. It's important to remember health and fitness is a lifelong commitment.
Our Balance Training/Fall Prevention program is designed to identify if a patient is at risk of falling. It then identifies and modifies those factors reducing the risk of falling and injury. This helps to increase mobility and confidence so that the patient can maintain an independent lifestyle.
If you or someone you know is at risk of losing their balance or falling, please call us today. Don't wait until the fall happens, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

EPA Ruling On Submetering
Applicability of the Safe Drinking Water Act to Submetered Properties
Docket: OW–2003–0065
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a memorandum that outlined its revised policy regarding regulatory requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) for submetered properties. The revised policy is shown in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice, in its final memorandum form.
Under SDWA section 1411, the national primary drinking water regulations apply to public water systems (PWS) that have their own water source, treat, or ''sell'' water. EPA staff and program managers have previously issued memoranda stating that any building or property owner who meets the definition of a PWS and receives water from a regulated public water system, but bills tenants separately for this water, is ''selling'' the water and therefore is independently subject to SDWA's drinking water requirements. As a way to promote full cost and conservation pricing to achieve water conservation, the EPA is changing its interpretation of section 1411 as it applies to submetered properties. EPA believes that the addition of a submeter should not in any way change the quality of water provided to customers on these properties.
In general, the scope of this policy is not intended to extend where the property in question has a large distribution system, serves a large population or serves a mixed (commercial/residential) population (e.g., many military installations/facilities or large mobile home parks).
DATES: EPA's revised policy, as described in the section I.A. memorandum, effective December 16, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Related documents, including EPA's response to public comments on the subject policy, can be accessed at the Water Docket in the EPA Docket Center, (EPA/DC) EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. For more information, see section I..B.1 of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronald Bergman by phone at 202–564–3823, or by e-mail at bergman.ronald@epa.gov.
A. Final Revised Policy Today, EPA is publishing a memorandum revising current policy regarding regulatory requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of submetered properties. The memorandum changes EPA's interpretation of section 1411 as it applies in the specific context of submetering and direct billing of tenants. EPA published a proposed memo in the Federal Register on August 28, 2003 (68 FR 51777) and solicited public comments for 60 days. Comments were received from a variety of stakeholders, including state, county, and local governments, apartment building owners and associations, utility companies, and housing associations. Generally, commenters strongly supported the proposed policy and agreed that submetering promotes water conservation.
Subject: Applicability of the Safe Drinking Water Act to Submetered Properties.
From: G. Tracy Mehan III, Assistant Administrator.
To: Regional Administrators, Regions I– X.
The purpose of this memorandum is to announce EPA's revised policy concerning the applicability of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to submetered properties. Submetering, as applied in this policy, means a billing process by which a property owner (or association of property owners, in the case of co-ops or condominiums) bills tenants based on metered total water use; the property owner is then responsible for payment of a water bill from a public water system. Under the revised policy, a property owner who installs submeters to track usage of water by tenants on his or her property will not be subject to SDWA egulations solely as a result of taking the administrative act of submetering and billing. Property owners must receive all of their water from a regulated public water system to qualify under the terms of this policy revision for submetered properties.
EPA proposed the revised policy in the Federal Register on August 28, 2003 (68 FR 51777) and requested public comment. In response, the Agency received strong support for the revised policy on submetering from a variety of stakeholders. In light of this response, and because a key objective of the Agency is to promote water efficiency and conservation, EPA has decided to change the policy for submetering.
Throughout the country, submetering of apartment buildings has been found to be an effective but little-used tool to support water conservation. Water conservation is an integral part of watershed protection, particularly in arid and drought-stricken areas. In addition to helping reduce the risk of water shortages, water conservation also provides other important benefits. Water conservation helps ensure in-stream flows, thereby providing protection for ecosystems, which can become out of balance when demand stresses water resources. Water conservation also helps reduce stress on water supply and wastewater infrastructure making them less prone to failure. Further, the use of submeters to measure water consumption is a necessary prerequisite to achieving full-cost and conservation pricing.
Section 1401 of SDWA defines a public water system (PWS) as a system that provides water through pipes or other constructed conveyances to the public for human consumption, if the system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves at least 25 people. Under SDWA section 1411, the SDWA national primary drinking water regulations apply to PWSs that have their own water source, treat, or ''sell'' water. EPA staff and program managers had issued several memoranda stating that any building or property owner who met the definition of a PWS and received water from a regulated public water system without adding further treatment, but billed tenants separately for this water, would be considered to be ''selling'' the water and, therefore, would be independently subject to SDWA's drinking water requirements. Today's memorandum reflects a change in EPA's interpretation of section 1411 as it applies in the specific context of submetering.
The EPA memoranda referenced above were based on a single statement in the 1974 legislative history for the SDWA in which Congress explained its intent in enacting section 1411. In that legislative history, the Committee report stated that it ''intends to exempt businesses which merely store and distribute water provided by others, unless that business sells water as a separate item or bills separately for water it provides.''1 Under EPA's previous interpretation, an owner of an apartment building or similar property who is exempt under section 1411 but merely installed a submeter and billed the tenants for the water, or simply began billing tenants (even without a submeter), would then be considered to be operating a fully regulated public water system, even though there had been no other change relevant to the delivery or potential health concerns associated with the water. This application of the legislative history has been cited as a discouragement to submetering and, as a result, to water conservation measures.
After further review, we no longer believe that Congress originally intended the statute to be applied in this manner, or that it should continue to be the Agency's interpretation for the following reasons:
-The legislative history from 1974 does not specifically address the submetering of apartment buildings or similar properties for water conservation purposes. Rather, the legislative history was one Committee's attempt to explain broadly what the term ''selling'' water in section 1411 might mean. The statute itself does not define the term ''selling'' or suggest an interpretation that any billing of water would automatically trigger full SDWA regulation.
Some owners of apartment buildings and other multifamily housing expressed concern that, under EPA's previous policy, the installation of submeters subjected them to the full regulatory requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), comparable to the requirements imposed on water utilities. In 1996, a Congressional committee expressed its concern that this application of SDWA might discourage the practice of submetering, as owners of a multifamily housing property (e.g. apartment buildings and/or complexes) would become subject to national primary drinking water regulations if they billed separately for water. Congress asked that EPA review its guidance on this matter to prevent unnecessary requirements that do not further public health protection and that might inhibit water conservation efforts. In response, EPA agreed to reconsider the matter and issue further guidance. EPA's approach in previous memoranda may have created a disincentive to water conservation, which can undermine water quality over the long term. Simply applying the concept of ''sell'' to every billing transaction is not appropriate.
Revised Policy:
Consistent with Congressional requests to reconsider this matter, the Agency now believes that certain property owners, who had not previously been (or would not be) subject to SDWA's national primary drinking water regulations, and who install submeters to accurately track usage of water by tenants on his or her property, should not be subject to regulations solely as a result of taking the action to submeter and bill.
The addition of a submeter should not in any way change the quality of water provided to customers on the property. A PWS that provides water to a property maintains responsibility for providing public notification under 40 CFR 141.201(c) (or approved State equivalent) to consumers. In addition, the PWS must make ''good faith'' efforts to provide the tenants with the annual Consumer Confidence Reports under 40 CFR 141.155(b). A submetered property would still be considered a PWS under SDWA section 1401, hence States and EPA would retain the ability to take corrective action under SDWA's emergency powers authority (section 1431) if public health risks arise.
Scope of Revised Policy:
EPA received numerous comments asking that the revised policy be expanded beyond apartment buildings. EPA agrees that submetering to achieve water conservation may be appropriate for other property types, which share similar characteristics to an apartment building, and likewise should not be considered as ''selling'' under SDWA section 1411, simply because a submeter is installed and the property owner begins direct billing for the water. This description is the basis for the definition of submetering. Determinations of whether billing for water is a ''sale'' for purposes of section 1411, and whether systems are ''submetering'' as that term is used in this policy, should be made by the Primacy Agency.
In making a determination, the Primacy Agency should consider if the property has certain characteristics, such as a limited distribution system with no known backflow or cross connection issues; the majority of its plumbing is within a structure instead of underground; and property ownership is a single/individual (or association of property owners, in the case of co-ops or condominiums). Of course, for any system to be excluded under section 1411, it must receive all of its water from a regulated public water system.
In general, the scope of this policy is not intended to extend where the property in question has a large distribution system, serves a large population or serves a mixed (commercial/residential) population (e.g., many military installations/ facilities or large mobile home parks).
Although EPA is not requiring that submetered systems be regulated, each State has the flexibility to determine whether, and how, to best track properties that submeter. For example, in Alabama, the State defines a submetered property as a ''segmented public water system'' and requires that it have access to a certified operator. Texas requires that submetered properties allow access to the property by the public water system that provides it with water, register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and follow regulations for submetering.
While submetering and billing for water usage may positively induce water conservation actions, States may still want to take other steps to ensure that property owners and others convert to water efficient fixtures and appliances. For example, Texas requires that apartment buildings have water efficient plumbing fixtures and appliances as a condition of approval of a submetered billing system.
Ratio Utility Billing Systems (RUBS) and Hybrid Billing Systems (HWH)
Several commenters raised the issue of ratio utility billing systems (RUBS)4 and other allocation billing systems. Some commenters suggested that EPA should include this type of billing in the revised policy because it would have no negative effect on water quality. Other commenters encouraged EPA to exclude RUBS, stating that RUBS may not result in water conservation, and may, in fact, reduce incentives to install submeters and charge on the basis of actual water usage. Water savings, if any, from RUBS and hot water hybrid billing systems (HWH) are uncertain. At this time, EPA believes that RUBS or other allocation billing systems do not meet the definition of submetering, as used in this policy, and do not encourage water conservation. Therefore, a property using these billing systems is not addressed by this policy. Primacy Agencies will need to determine whether such properties are ''selling'' water within the meaning of SDWA section 1411. This memorandum clarifies EPA's policy change and reconfirms our strong interest in advocating water conservation. Any previous EPA statements or policy memorandum on this issue are superseded by this memorandum.

4. A ratio utility billing system (RUBS) or an allocation formula, divides a property's water bill among its residents based on a ratio of floor space, number of occupants, or some other quantitative measure. With RUBS, a price signal based on actual use is not sent to the tenant as with submetering, and the amount of water saved by these systems is unclear. A hot water hybrid (HWH) billing system is a combination of submetering and allocation where hot water is submetered and a formula is applied to estimate the resident's total water use based on the volume of hot water metered. HWH systems provide more of a price signal than RUBS but less than that for submetering.

This ought to be fun. I don't think I ever made it past the second floor as a kid.
@Booyakasha, get in here. You're the one who mentioned this game.
I didn't realize Ganon was the fourth boss in this game.
Man, I friggin love 'Kung Fu'.
I made it back to Floor 2, and suddenly I can't remember how to deal with the falling traps.
So my good official NES controller seems to have a problem with its B-button. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Can I use a third-party controller? This is essentially an unofficial NES Max. I promise I won't use the turbo buttons.
I mean...I've played the game for thirty years without turbo. Adding buttons and unpredictability to a twitch arcade title seems like it would hurt more than help.
In any case, feel free to use whatever controller you want.
Try as I might, I can't make it past 1-2. I think that's about as good as I'm going to do this contest.
My fingers have gone stupid. Suddenly can't even get to Mr. X, much less beat him. What a shambles I've become.

Spring Training / Padres : Hoyt's New Look Is Still the Hot Topic Around Yuma
By STEVE DOLAN
YUMA, Ariz. —
A trimmed-down LaMarr Hoyt pitched two shutout innings in the first Padre intrasquad game of spring training Saturday afternoon.
Hoyt allowed two hits and struck out one batter--Steve Garvey.
"I was working on my fastball and changeups," Hoyt said. "I was happy with my changeups, but I'm still not precise on location. To throw like I did, I feel fortunate they didn't score."
Hoyt said he has always been a good spring training pitcher. Until going 0-4 last spring, he said he had never lost a game in exhibition play.
Of course, the most pertinent topic concerning Hoyt continues to be his new trim look. He said he now weighs between 235 and 240 pounds, 30 pounds lighter than at his heaviest last year.
"I don't feel like I have lost any strength while losing weight, which is amazing," he said. "The thing that has bothered me is that I'm here to play baseball. I don't get paid to look nice and maintain a weight. If I'm successful, no one can complain. I think (the weight) gets too much print. It has nothing to do with how successful of a pitcher I am."
Both Carmelo Martinez and Kevin McReynolds were happy with the way they swung the bat in Saturday's intrasquad game.
Martinez, nursing a bruised bone in his left hand, singled in four at-bats. McReynolds, coming off a broken left wrist, lined to center and walked in his only at-bats.
For the time being, McReynolds seems to be further along than Martinez.
"I'm playing to pain tolerance," McReynolds said. "As of late, there hasn't been any pain to speak of. It shouldn't be any problem. There's no reason to think I won't be 100% by opening day."
Martinez: "I was bothered a little bit, but not like before. It was about 40% a week ago. It bothered me every time I took a hack then. Now, I'd say I'm 85 to 90%. I'm not afraid to swing the bat now."
Manager Dick Williams was pleased with the way both outfielders performed.
"It looked like they were swinging the bat all right," Williams said. "Nothing seemed to faze either one of them."
Williams is settled on the order of his first three batters for now. Alan Wiggins will lead off, Tony Gwynn will bat second and Garvey third.
McReynolds and Graig Nettles, who tied for the team lead with 20 home runs in 1984, may share the cleanup spot. Nettles would bat fourth against right-handed pitchers and McReynolds would hit in that spot against left-handers when Jerry Royster platoons with Nettles at third base.
"When Nettles plays against right-handed pitchers, he'll probably bat cleanup," Williams said. "That's his forte. He won't hit for an average, but he'll hit home runs. If McReynolds' wrist is all right, he'll more than likely bat there when Nettles doesn't start."
In 1984, Williams thought McReynolds lacked the experience to bat cleanup. But a full season in the majors for McReynolds has changed that.
Goose Gossage was not very impressive in Saturday's intrasquad game, allowing one run and four hits in two innings.
However, when Gossage reached back for his last pitch of the day, he blew a fastball past Joe Lansford.
"The last pitch is the only one he threw hard," Williams said. "And he threw the heck out of it."
Coach Harry Dunlop's team beat the team of Coach Deacon Jones, 7-5, in the intrasquad game.
George Hinshaw gave the Jones Team an early lead with a three-run triple off Keefe Cato in the top of the fourth inning. But the Dunlop Team had a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth from Bruce Bochy, then it scored six runs off Greg Booker in the fifth.
The bottom of the fifth ended after Al Bumbry hit an apparent triple to center field but was called out for missing second base.
Coach Ozzie Virgil, a member of Dunlop's staff, had his first heated argument of the spring with an umpire on the play. He was upset when the home plate umpire counted only one of the two runs that scored on Bumbry's hit.
Williams stepped in to settle the argument.
"Ozzie, don't worry about it," Williams said. "We'll count both runs."
Unlike during the regular season, Williams had the final say over an umpire. But he was overruling a Yuma youth baseball umpire, not a National League umpire.
Padre Notes
Terry Kennedy did not catch in Saturday's intrasquad game because of a tight lower back. However, Dick Williams said Kennedy will catch in this afternoon's intrasquad game. . . . General Manager Jack McKeon said everything is quiet on the trade front for now. "We don't have particular needs," he said, "but we would like to improve ourselves if we could. The type of guys we're looking for are not available. Once you start playing exhibition games and injuries come up, you might have something happen."
Alzheimer's affects women more than men. Now scientists have some clues as to why
New research offers some of the first biological clues to why women may be more likely than men to develop Alzheimer's disease.
California doesn't have enough doctors. To recruit them, the state is paying off medical school debt
California will spend $340 million paying off doctors' debts. In exchange, doctors must pledge that at least 30% of their caseloads will be devoted to Medi-Cal patients for five years.

Sati in Colonial India
Tukaram was a "movement of popularisation from above" is completely unwarranted by whatever literature Tukaram has left behind. Acute hostility to Brahmanism (which is not the same thing as hostility to Advaita Vedanta) is there in almost every other Abhanga of Tukaram. There is nothing "from above" about his Abhangas.

Ideologies on Women in Nineteenth Century Britain, 1850s-70s
Thinkers in Victorian England addressed themselves to the myriad and complex queries which the on-going women's movement of today poses for Marxists and non-Marxists alike, concerning the place of women, family and home, This paper is confined to the period 1850s70s which saw the publication of major ideological statements concerning women by Mill, Darwin and Ruskin which together helped to identify the parameters of the conflict of ideologies in this period, parameters which are counterpointed by the socialist thinking on the woman question which had emerged earlier. The ideological positions of Mill, Darwin and Ruskin did not arise in a vacuum; they were embattled positions taken in the wake of social changes brought on by industrial capitalism and the emergence of a women's movement. The author deals with this process in the first part of the paper and in the second with the ideologies, both feminist and anti-feminist, and their absorption within the movement.

The commission will conduct spraying on September 16 from 2 to 6 a.m. in the following Audubon Park, Oaklyn, Collingswood,Haddon Township, Hi-Nella, Voorhees Township and Waterford Township.
In Voorhees specifically the commission will spray Merryton Street, Festival Drive, Lucky Court and John Connolly Park.
-Swimming pools are a common problem. All pools must be checked and maintained to keep them mosquito-free. Swimming pools can breed mosquitoes within days after you stop adding chlorine or other disinfectant. Pool covers can catch rainwater and become a mosquito development site. Add a little chlorine to kill mosquitoes.
-Maintain screens to prevent adult mosquitoes from entering your home or business.
-Personal protection is strongly urged if you are outside when mosquitoes may be active — generally dawn and dusk. Insect repellants containing between 10–35% DEET are very effective, however, be sure to follow the label directions and take extra precautions with children and infants.
-Dispose of unnecessary containers that hold water. Containers you wish to save turn upside down or put holes in the bottom so all water drains out.
-Lift up flowerpots and dump the water from the dish underneath every week.
-Stock fish or add mosquito larvicide to ornamental ponds.
-Change water in bird baths, fountains, and animal troughs weekly.
-Screen vents to septic and other water tanks.
-Store large boats so they drain and small boats upside down. If covered, keep the tarp tight so water does not pool on top of the tarp.
-Do not dump leaves or grass clippings into a catch basin or streams.
-Do not allow water to collect on sagging tarps or awnings.
-Do not allow trashcan lids to fill with water.
-Check downspouts that are able to hold enough water to allow mosquito larvae to mature.


Fished at Golden Ponds Park in Longmont on the morning of Saturday June 6, 2015. Golden Ponds consists of three ponds in a rather urban area of Northwest Longmont. Golden Ponds Park and Nature area receives heavy traffic from dog walkers, joggers, picnickers, birders, and of course fisher people. I've never had trouble parking in the lot next to the ponds, however. There are wonderful views of Longs Peak, and the St. Vrain Creek and Greenway run just South of the ponds and are easily accessible across a footbridge. The area was hit hard by the floods of September 2013, and the South bank of the first pond is still closed.
I'd fished Golden Ponds previously a little with no luck, but this particular morning was rather excellent (relative to other Boulder County warm water fishing). The first, most Eastern pond (actually Pond #3) is the largest and most heavily fished, with a pier and easy access bank fishing. You can park and have a line in the water in about 15 seconds. So this morning I started by fishing the East bank of the first pond, and within 10 minutes caught a couple of nice two-pound bass and a couple of smaller bass as well. Weather was perfect, maybe 65 degrees and partly cloudy. I was fishing with my typical lightweight spinning rod and small crankbait. The two bass were easily the largest bass I've caught in Boulder County and I was jazzed. A heron was itself fishing on an island in the middle of the pond, and the view of Longs Peak was majestic. Go Colorado.
After a bit I moved on to the middle pond (Pond #2) with no luck, and then the most Western pond (Pond #1). There were a couple of guys in belly boats on this pond fishing with what looked like artificial worms (artificial flies and lures only on Ponds #1 and #2), but they didn't seem to be having much luck. On the West bank I had a few bites, saw dozens of perch, fingerlings and few larger bass. I had been switching between a mini Rapala, bigger Rapala, and a couple of more crankbaits searching for a solution, but nothing was taking. On the North bank of Pond #3 I caught another little bass and a couple of perch with my mini crawdad crankbait that always seems to produce. The sun was up and I was getting a bit burned by this time, so I called it a morning, and was happy with it. Will definitely go back.
DON'T DO DAT ANY-MO, OKAY!?

Fiat Fiorino er en bilmodel fra den italienske bilfabrikant Fiat Automobiles, som har været i produktion siden 1977. De to første generationer fandtes som kassevogn og pickup. Den tredje generation er siden 2008 blevet produceret som kassevogn og leisure activity vehicle sammen med de identiske modeller Peugeot Bipper og Citroën Nemo fra PSA Peugeot Citroën hos Tofaş i Bursa, Tyrkiet og blev i 2009 valgt til Van of the Year.

I 2013 tilkom med Fiat Fiorino Furgao en yderligere model som kassevogn i Brasilien.

Fiorino (type 127/147, 1977−1987)
Den første generation af Fiorino, som blev bygget mellem oktober 1977 og december 1987, var baseret på Fiat 147, den brasilianske version af Fiat 127, med en bagtil påmonteret varekasse. Fiorino blev fremstillet på fabrikken i Betim, Brasilien. Motoren var de første år på 0,9 liter med 33 kW (45 hk) og gav bilen en topfart på 125 km/t. Nyttelasten var ca. 360 kg.

I januar 1980 fik modellen nogle mindre modifikationer. Motoren var nu på 1,0 liter med 37 kW (50 hk), og kofangerne var nu fremstillet af kunststof.

Samtidig med et yderligere sideløbende med 127 gennemført facelift i foråret 1982 tilkom en dieselversion med 33 kW (45 hk).

Firmaet Weinsberg lavede en autocamperudgave af Fiorino.

Fiorino (type 146, 1988−2013)
Den anden generation af Fiorino, som kom på markedet i januar 1988, var bygget på platformen fra den brasilianske Fiat Uno, og fandtes i tre teknisk set meget forskellige underserier:

Frontpartiet på den mellem starten af 1988 og foråret 1992 byggede første serie var frem til B-søjlen optisk identisk med Uno, ligesom kabineudstyret. Teknikken var derimod stort set uændret i forhold til første generation. Det tekniske forbillede var den brasilianske udgave af Uno (Uno CS) med bagakslen fra Fiat 127, som kunne kendes på den høje motorhjelm hvorunder reservehjulet lå. Ligesom før var hele undervognen og drivlinien overtaget direkte fra forgængeren. Dermed var fjederben, foraksel samt den tværliggende bladfjeder og de trapezformede tværled magen til Fiat 147.

Til den mellem foråret 1992 og slutningen af 1993 byggede anden serie blev den gamle teknik igen genbrugt. Karrosseriet havde fået et facelift med front og optiske træk fra Uno II. Forlygter, forskærme, motorhjelm, kølergrill og andet kunne dog i Europa kun findes på Fiorino, og var dermed ikke identisk med den europæiske Uno. Disse dele stammede fra Uno CS, som i denne form kun blev bygget i Brasilien. Kabinen beholdt designet fra Uno I.

Den tredje serie, bygget mellem 1994 og 2013, havde såvel teknik fra type 147 som designmæssige træk fra Uno I. Akselafstanden og bilens længde voksede en smule, undervognen og akselgeometrien fortil havde nu teknik fra Uno mens bagakslen stadigvæk var stiv og ophængt på to langsliggende bladfjedre, hvilket bidrog til forbedring af køreegenskaberne. Den udvendige form var stort set uændret i forhold til anden serie; disse senere modeller kan ofte kendes på det forhøjede tag og den let modificerede kassepåbygning. De glaserede hhv. gennemsigtige dele på siden af bilen havde nu kun to flader pr. side i stedet for fire. Sene eksemplarer af tredje serie fik en ny kølergrill med kun én tværstribe. Kabinen i tredje serie fik udstyr fra Uno II.

Opbygningsvarianterne omfattede en lukket varekasse, en varekasse med vinduer og en pickup. Sidstnævnte er relativt sjælden og efterspurgt. Der blev også bygget autocampere på basis af Fiorino.

Motorprogrammet omfattede ud over en 1,7-liters dieselmotor forskellige benzinmotorer på mellem 1,1 og 1,6 liter. Da Fiorino primært var en håndværkerbil, var dieselversionen, som i de sidste modelår også kunne fås med turbo og 46 kW (63 hk), den mest solgte.

I december 2001 ophørte produktionen af Fiorino-serien i Europa, hvor den blev afløst af Fiat Doblò (kassevogn) hhv. Fiat Strada (pickup).

I Brasilien blev Fiorino i modificeret form fortsat produceret til Sydamerika frem til 2013 og herefter afløst af Fiorino Furgao.

Fiorino/Qubo (type 225, 2008−)

Siden februar 2008 har Fiat under navnet Fiorino fremstillet et nyt leisure activity vehicle, som er mindre end Fiat Doblò. Bilen bygges i Bursa, Tyrkiet af firmaet Tofaş og sælges også som Citroën Nemo og Peugeot Bipper.

Den nye Fiat Fiorino tilhører uden påsat kasse nu klassen af leisure activity vehicle's. I øjeblikket findes den i tre varianter: Som kassevogn (uden sideruder fra B-søjlen), kombi (med sideruder fra B-søjlen) og som personbil (med sideruder bag B- og i C-søjlen). Personbilsversionen sælges af Fiat under navnet Fiat Qubo, hos Citroën hedder den Nemo Multispace og hos Peugeot Bipper Tepee.

Kassevogn og kombi findes i udstyrsvarianterne Basis og SX. Den i oktober 2008 introducerede personbil (Fiat Qubo) findes i udstyrsvarianterne Active, Dynamic og Trekking.

Alle kassevogns- og kombiversioner kan mod merpris leveres i offroad-look "Adventure". Standardudstyr i samtlige versioner er ABS med elektronisk bremsekraftfordeling (EBD), førerairbag, servostyring, automatisk lyslængderegulering, sidelister, integrerede hjulkapsler, forberedelse for montering af bilradio (kabler, højttalere og antenne) samt tæppebeklædt varerumsgulv. SX-modellen har derudover el-justerbare og -opvarmelige sidespejle, skydedøre bagi, separat aflåseligt lastrum, fjernbetjent centrallåsesystem og automatisk dørlåsning under kørslen (fra ), fralægningsrum i dørene, el-ruder, førersæde med armlæn, højdejusterbart sæde med lændehvirvelstøtte, højdejusterbart rat, udetemperatursensor og aftagelig indvendig lastrumsbelysning.

Til ekstraudstyret og tilbehøret hører: Passagerairbag og sideairbags, parkeringssensorer, bilradio med mp3-afspiller, Bluetooth®-system med stemmestyring, opvarmeligt førersæde, tagræling, drejeligt beskyttelsesgitter og meget mere.

Noget ekstraudstyr leveres kun i pakker, som f.eks. manuelt klimaanlæg som kun fås i en såkaldt Audio-klima-pakke sammen med cd-afspiller. Last-pakken indeholder tågeforlygter, bagagerumsnet, parkeringshjælp bagpå og tagræling. Kun farven Polarhvid fås uden merpris.

I slutningen af 2009 tilkom en naturgasversion af Qubo med den fra CNG-versionerne af Panda Classic og Punto kendte 1,4-litersmotor og naturgastank på 13 kg.

I juli 2016 fik modellen et optisk facelift.

Tekniske data

Lastrum
Lastrummet har en længde på 1,52 m (2,49 m med fremklappet passagersæde) og en bredde på 1,47 m. Afstanden mellem hjulkasserne er 1,04 m. Lastrummet har en højde på 1,18 m og en lastvolume på 2,5 m³. Med passagersædet klappet frem kan det øges til 2,8 m³. Bagpå er bilen udstyret med to asymmetisk delte (i forholdet 40:60), blændede fløjdøre, som kan åbnes op til 90° hhv. 180° hvilket letter af- og pålæsning. Den bageste åbning har en bredde på op til 1,14 m og en højde på op til 1,06 m. Derudover har Fiat Fiorino en kun 527 mm høj lastekant, som er den laveste i segmentet. Nyttelasten ligger på 610 kg, og anhængervægten på 600 kg med hhv. 400 kg uden bremser.

Sikkerhed
Til sikkerhedsudstyret hører ABS med elektronisk bremsekraftfordeling (EBD), hydraulisk servostyring, skivebremser fortil, trepunktssikkerhedsseler med selestrammere og selekraftbegrænsere, førerairbag samt Deadlock-system (en tyverisikring som låser alle døre så de hverken kan åbnes indefra eller udefra). Passagerairbag, sideairbags og parkeringssensorer afrunder sikkerhedspakken.

Både ved af- og pålæsning og under kørslen øger den separate låsning af for- og bagdørene sikkerheden. Dermed er det muligt at have lastrummet åbent og førerkabinen aflåst samtidig, eller omvendt.

I modsætning til søstermodellerne fra Peugeot og Citroën har Qubo i udstyrsvarianten "Trekking" som standard ESP med bremseassistent, ASR, MSR og bjergigangsætningsassistent.

Ved en elgtest udført af det tyske ADAC i slutningen af april 2010 væltede Citroën Nemo, hvorfor PSA gav dieselmodellerne ESP-system som standardudstyr.

Fiorino (type 327, 2013−)

Siden 2013 er der i Brasilien en ny model på basis af den nye Fiat Uno på markedet.
