Sometimes as a high school teacher I feel that I'm just rushing through curriculum and then every once in a while I have the chance to do something truly cool.
As a Humanities teacher I deliver the Respectful Relationships curriculum which covers different topics to help prepare students for today's world. One series of lessons was about identifying stressful situations and developing coping mechanisms.
Included within this we did a trial meditation session. I ran the lesson with year 9s and it didn't go over very well, and when I repeated it with my year 7s it went much better. The next week we had some time left before lunch and some of my year 7 students asked for meditation and half the class were really concentrating and practicing it. Afterwards I asked if they wanted us to do this regularly and I had a huge positive response, even from the ones who didn't seem to be practicing the meditation aspect, but it still seemed they loved the opportunity to have some quiet time to just be.
So I've introduced this as an embedded part of my lesson every Friday for the past few months. Every week I've been noticing that more students are getting engaged and involved. Today we did the session and the 5 minutes felt like 30 seconds. I've had one student mention it to a coordinator that he's using it as a strategy for anger management.
I had always thought that there was value in meditation, but now that I'm doing it with my whole class I'm feeling the benefits myself. I walk out of class feeling so much lighter and calmer, and I see it with my students. They are getting a little more centred and focussed, and better at being in the moment.
I've been using Smiling Mind which has educational programs and am just in the experimental phases, and yet I'm seeing so much positivity. I'm so excited because next year I'm going to introduce it from the get-go with my classes and really have the chance to track its positive effects, and I really want to explore some PD or research to support me. There's so much potential to support students with assessments. Everything they do these days is under exam conditions or involves some sort of testing and I can see that this could be a great tool for their educational journey and beyond. Will keep you posted on my progress, and would love to hear about anyone who uses meditation either in the classroom or in life.

News Sydney and Melbourne housing downturn weakening to a halt
Sydney and Melbourne housing downturn weakening to a halt
Joel Robinson
| Jun 30,2019
Over the month of June, house prices in both Sydney and Melbourne didn't record losses for the first time in nearly two years, according to CoreLogic.
The end of the housing downturn in the two major capital city markets has been forecasted since the Coalition won parliamentary honours over Labor in May.
The declines slowed down drastically since.
The month of May saw Sydney houses dropping just 0.4 percent and Melbourne 0.6 percent.
The latest figures from CoreLogic, who analyse the housing markets every month, saw Sydney house prices unmoved in June, with Melbourne scoring a 0.1% increase.
Nationally dwelling values are down just 0.2%, with house values down 0.1% and unit values up 0.2%.

Hobart's cooling off period only lasted a few months, with house values increasing by 0.1% in June.
The biggest house value declines were felt in Darwin (-1.7%) and Canberra (-0.9%).
Perth saw its house values drop 0.7%, followed by Brisbane 0.6% decline and Adelaide at 0.5%
CoreLogic head of research Tim Lawless believes that the June housing market results provide further evidence that the downturn is running out of steam.
"The improvement in housing market conditions over the first five months of the year has largely been organic, however since mid-May there has been a raft of announcements that should provide a further positive flow through to housing demand", Lawless said.
"Stability within the federal government, along with the removal of uncertainty surrounding changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax discounts, has brought about increased certainty and boosted confidence in the housing market.
"Aided by the housing downturn, we have also seen an improvement around housing affordability, although dwelling values remain high relative to household incomes in Sydney and Melbourne.
"Add to this lower mortgage rates and the high likelihood that interest rate serviceability tests are set to improve."
The last time Sydney and Melbourne houses didn't record losses in the same month was August 2017 when Sydney's housing downturn began, some six months before Melbourne started declining.

How Can You Say That About David?
David was a man after God's own heart.
That statement seems odd to many who know the story of King David.
Some may not understand one of the prominent characteristics that marked and guided David. It is apparent that the Lord understood it!
Yes, David, a man after God's own heart!
Are we talking about King David . . . .
David, who committed adultery with Bathsheba.
David, who had Urriah's life put in purposeful and fatal jeopardy.
David who was stopped from killing Nabal by Abagail — that David?
Are we talking about David who hid in Ziklag under the feigned loyalty protection of King Achish?
Yep — that David!
When David was confronted by Nathan the prophet, David did not fend off his clear and confrontational charge of Nathan. He understood Nathan's parable was not only about him, but how egregious his doings were. Nathan's parable had to powerfully stab the heart of David — by all of its passionate imagery!
David wrote Psalm 51, a well-known Psalm to all of us who, like David, know and understand how stained we are from birth with the ability to do what we know is wrong!
Abagail confronted David, and again David listened and reversed course. He heard the argument that Abagail was making and yielded to her words!
When returning to Ziklag with his army and seeing the city in smoke and the inhabitants deported — his response . . .
"And David was greatly distressed . . . . but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. And David enquired at the LORD".
David knew that he was responsible for the situation and his only hope was to go to the Lord for merciful help!
David's life was marked by some heinous sins, he was also marked by a quality that God takes note of in our lives — self-awareness!
David was self-aware of himself and his own layers of sinfulness.
Again, when David was cursed by Shimei while fleeing the city of Jerusalem, he responds with a level of understanding that some never come to in life and living — (II Samuel 16:5-12). David understood that such words were deserving and more — it was from the mouth of the Lord! He was a bloody man!
As is seen repeatedly, David was a man you could talk to, and he would listen! He had ears to hear because he was self-aware of himself, his tendencies, his sinful leanings, and his own ability to justify and rationalize his sinfulness.
If you have been following what is happening in one of the largest "denominations" of churches in America, the SBC, you will witness an example of the lack of that quality.
Pastor Tom Buck, whose wife has written a book talking about how rough and abusive her husband was in the many early years of their marriage, decided to point his finger and identify a deacon who committed adultery over 20 years ago.
While claiming that he and his wife story was written to illustrate God's redeeming work midst their marriage, the redeeming work in the marriage of that deacon is worthy of condemnation and removal.
Oh no, that deacon who has shown true repentance over the past 20 years, and has served admirably and with integrity on many different levels over the past 20 years, is not granted the margins of grace that Pastor Tom Buck speaks about in his own marital situation — as a pastor!
It is sad to say, but there are too many pastors who are so lacking in self-awareness. They preach on this-or-that, and have no idea of their own failure in that very area. Like Pastor Buck, those in the audience wonder how he could say what he says in light of what he himself has done, said, or gone through. The response is — "You are kidding me! How in the world is he able to say or do that?"
√ I have personally heard and seen pastors speak against the nomination of a church officer or deacon because of the behavior of one of their children. In contrast, their own children should have disqualified them from pastoring.
√ I have personally heard and seen pastors talk about love, kindness, forgiveness, care, and concern, while they failed to show those very same qualities in dealing with and dismissing a member(s) of the church.
√ I have personally heard and seen pastors rationalize, explain away, defend, and justify clear and even grievous wrong-doing by them and/or others, while preaching about the sins of the world around them and calling for a revival in America.
Not so with David. David was self-aware of his sin and sinful tendencies. Self-awareness springs from a humility that "gets it." Self-awareness and humility are the cousin traits that marked David — and traits that Saul never had. They are symmetrical qualities.
Jonathan — David — or the experience of life could never get Saul to grab hold of them — no less see as absent in his own make-up — though they tried!
It leads to the . . .
"for thee, but not for me-ism."
"For Thee, But Not For Me" — is what we see in the world of politics . . . . and rightfully decry!
The continuing saga of the SBC is a microcosm of what happens when there is such a lack of self-awareness.

Infinity Gauntlet | Comics
After the Death worshiping mad titan Thanos was resurrected by Death herself, he managed to collect all six of the powerful Infinity Gems from the Elders of the Universe. Taking the gems in his possession, Thanos crafted the Infinity Gauntlet, holding all the gems in his left glove and claiming godhood once again. As he has gained the virtual omnipotence, he decides to please his love Death and even after he creates a shrine in her honor for both of them, she still refuses to be charmed.
Witnessing the "Rebirth of Thanos", Silver Surfer; the mighty herald of Galactus, quickly rushes to seek aid of his old friend Doctor Strange in stopping Thanos from erasing the entire plane of existence. In the meantime, Thanos resurrects Nebula half alive but Death still shows no glimpse of interest in him. He then remembers the promise he made earlier to Mistress Death to destroy half the life of the universe and he does so immediately with just a single snap of his finger.
Now, this act of desperation in an overwhelming urge of receiving affection from Death certainly has its devastating effects and it was felt by Captain America, The Eternals, Hulk, the Kree Empire, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Spider-Man, who has sensed something big is happening. The Avengers were wondering about the situation as they get busy with the cleanup of this mess, when Adam Warlock came to visit Doctor Strange to inform about the impending threat upon the entire universe.
Sensing some abnormalities, Doctor Doom comes crashing at Sanctum Sanctorum to confront Stephen Strange and the Surfer, when Warlock explains everything to him. He then starts recruiting Quasar, Doctor Doom and other heroes to stop Thanos. Even Odin assembles the deities of Asgard upon having a meeting with Council of Godheads to face the problem before it's too late but got trapped because of their exit being destroyed by a shock-wave that The Mad Titan released a while ago.
The unity of heroes also gains support from most powerful entities in the universe, including Galactus. Hulk and Wolverine are tasked by Warlock to kill Thanos the moment they get the chance. Then using a magic spell and the Eye of Agamatto, Doctor Strange transports all the gathering of heroes to space for confronting Thanos in a last ditch attempt to save reality itself. With Mephisto at his side as an adviser, Thanos will stop at nothing to bring upon the end of the Universe.

Obchodní jméno byl dříve název, pod kterým podnikatel provozoval svou podnikatelskou činnost. Obchodním jménem fyzických osob bylo jejich jméno a příjmení, přičemž mohlo obsahovat odlišující dodatek (např. "Petr Novák – grafik"), a u právnických osob šlo o název, pod kterým byly zapsány do obchodního rejstříku, včetně povinného dodatku označujícího jejich právní formu (např. "Grafické služby Praha s. r. o."). U právnických osob nezapisovaných do obchodního rejstříku byl obchodním jménem název, pod kterým byly zřízeny.

Takto to platilo podle ustanovení § 8 a 9 obchodního zákoníku až do konce roku 2000 (nabytí účinnosti novelizačního zákona č. 370/2000 Sb.), kdy bylo obchodní jméno u podnikatelů zapsaných v obchodním rejstříku nahrazeno obchodní firmou. To se nezměnilo ani po roce 2014, kdy danou problematiku začal upravovat nový občanský zákoník. Podle něj platí, že jménem podnikatele zapsaného v obchodním rejstříku je obchodní firma a podnikatel bez obchodní firmy jedná pod svým vlastním jménem (), což je u právnických osob název () a u fyzických osob osobní jméno a příjmení ().

'Bachelor Happy Hour': Alana Milne Responds To Accusations She Went On 'Paradise' For Fame
Alana Milne stopped by "Bachelor Happy Hour" and got real with Becca Kufrin about her experience on "Bachelor in Paradise" Season 7 and whether or not she went on the show for fame.
As Bachelor Nation saw on Tuesday night's episode, Alana's "Paradise" dreams didn't unfold exactly as she had hoped when she walked down to the beach. She arrived and immediately found herself involved in a love triangle with Chris Conran and Jessenia Cruz.
There were many discussions on whether Alana and Chris C. had a relationship prior to filming the show, but despite this speculation, there was another major piece of information Alana wanted to clear up during her appearance on "Bachelor Happy Hour."
During Alana and Becca's discussion, Alana referenced Jessenia's comments about Alana possibly going on "BIP" "for the wrong reasons" and "having a plan to get fame out of it."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Alana made it clear that if she were going on the show for fame, she wouldn't have pursued someone who got eliminated on night one of his season.
She said, "That just was so funny to me to hear because — sorry, Chris — but if I was in it for that, why would I go for Chris C.?"
Becca chimed in, saying it was a good point, and adding that some fans weren't familiar with Chris since Clare Crawley eliminated him the first week of Season 16 of "The Bachelorette."
Alana continued, "The main intention of going on one of these shows should be to find love. That's something we all want. We're all single people looking for our person."
She added that she felt it was "kind of ridiculous" to be called out for going on the show for fame and followers when all the cast members benefit from the exposure of the show.
"To say that two people who have never posted ads and aren't very active on social media are there for that reason and use that as a negative thing to say when they themselves do that, I just don't understand why that's a reason to talk poorly about people when they do it themselves," Alana said.
Becca agreed that everyone on the show gains something from the exposure. Alana added that she thinks it's "unfortunate" that others used this to bring her down when they are reaping the same benefits.

Few are buying naloxone at pharmacies
Eighteen Richland County pharmacies now sell naloxone without a prescription, but few are taking advantage of it.
Few are buying naloxone at pharmacies Eighteen Richland County pharmacies now sell naloxone without a prescription, but few are taking advantage of it. Check out this story on mansfieldnewsjournal.com: http://ohne.ws/2gZ7Uqc

Eighteen Richland County pharmacies started selling naloxone without a prescription this year, but few residents apparently are purchasing the opioid overdose-reversal medication.
In fact, at the five local pharmacies willing to discuss the specifics of their naloxone sales, no doses of the drug have been sold over the counter without a prescription.
Pharmacists and public health officials say a combination of a lack of awareness, the stigma surrounding drug addiction, the high cost for consumers without insurance and the preventative nature of the drug account for the lack of sales.
Naloxone, sold under the brand names Narcan and Evzio, blocks the effects of prescription opioids, heroin and fentanyl on the brain and reverses an overdose. It has become the primary tool in fighting the epidemic of opiate overdoses.
Jay Fordyce, a pharmacist with Discount Drug Mart in Shelby, said he believes the lack of sales could be due to a lack of awareness, with the public not realizing they now can walk into a pharmacy and purchase the drug without a prescription.
"I don't know if people are afraid to come up to the pharmacy and ask for naloxone or what," he said. "I think people just don't know about it."
The Shelby store keeps one box of the drug in stock, containing two nasal pumps.
Chris Peshek, a regional pharmacy supervisor with Discount Drug Mart, said the Discount Drug Mart stores on Briggs Drive in Mansfield and Mansfield Avenue in Shelby have not sold any doses of naloxone since the chain started doing so in April.
He said it could be related to the sense of shame that can surround drug addiction.
"It keeps coming back to that stigma of not wanting to admit you have a problem or not wanting to get help for the problem because you're afraid that somebody's going to find out," he said. "Because of that really strong stigma associated with drug addiction, people don't want to be seen walking into a drugstore to buy naloxone."
Three-quarters of the 24 pharmacies in Richland County sell naloxone — four CVS pharmacies, two Discount Drug Mart pharmacies, three Kroger pharmacies, one Meijer pharmacy, five Rite Aid pharmacies and three Walgreens pharmacies.
Map of drug stores selling naloxone
Twelve of the pharmacies are in Mansfield, three are in Ontario, two are in Shelby and one is in Lexington.
CVS, Meijer, Rite Aid and Walgreens declined to share their sales numbers, citing corporate privacy policies.
Similar to Discount Drug Mart's lack of sales, the three local Kroger pharmacies have not sold any naloxone doses, according to Jennifer Jarrell, a Kroger media relations representative. The Kroger pharmacies on Park Avenue West, Ashland Road and Lexington Avenue, all in Mansfield, have been selling naloxone over the counter since February.
Costs range from $40-$145 a dose
Cost could be another prohibitive factor for buying naloxone at pharmacies.
A two-pack dose sells for about $40 at Meijer and $136 at Walgreens. A single dose of the drug is $45 at Kroger and up to $140 at Rite Aid and $145 at CVS. When it's bought as a preventative measure, it can be difficult to rationalize spending that much money on it, pharmacists say.
Fordyce has customers come in interested in purchasing naloxone, but no one's bought any from him yet.
"I guess he decided he didn't need it that bad," Fordyce said of a man who came in to buy naloxone but who walked away when he found it it was $75 to $80 per single dose at Discount Drug Mart.
But patients with insurance usually pay a maximum of about $10 out-of-pocket, Peshek said.
Fordyce said the pharmacy bills the insurance of the person buying the drug, not the person who uses it.
"I would encourage people first thing to the call their prescription insurance and ask if they cover (naloxone) and what their co-pay would be," Fordyce said.
The nature of naloxone's preventative nature also could be a prohibitive factor. People who can stop an overdose have to prepare in advance to help a loved one who overdoses in the future.
"You have to be thinking way ahead," Peshek said. "You need it right away, so you're just going to go to the hospital or ER."
Fordyce emphasized people who are overdosing still need medical attention, even if they get a dose of naloxone.
The effects of opioids can last between six and 12 hours, but naloxone wears off in 20 to 30 minutes.
"This is just the first step if there's an overdose," he said. "You should still call 911 or go to the hospital. Odds are, they're going to need more (naloxone)."
Legislature passed bill unanimously
Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed House Bill 4 into law in July 2015 to allow pharmacists to dispense naloxone without a prescription to at-risk opioid users and those who can intervene during overdoses, such as family members, friends or roommates. The bill had passed both the Ohio House and Senate unanimously.
"For friends and family members, pharmacies play a unique role," said Cameron McNamee, director of policy and communications for the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. "If you have an active opioid user in your family and they feel like they're not ready to get help yet, getting naloxone from a pharmacy is one of the best things you can do to get a little bit of peace of mind."
Previously, pharmacies could not sell the drug without a prescription from a doctor.
Nearly 1,400 pharmacies, or 65 percent of all Ohio retail pharmacies, in 84 of Ohio's 88 counties sell naloxone without a prescription as of the end of November.
Holmes, Morgan, Noble and Vinton counties do not have any pharmacies selling naloxone.
Not many other alternatives
Currently, the only other way to receive naloxone is from first responders or high-risk agencies, such as hospitals or mental health agencies.
Richland Public Health started providing naloxone kits to first responders and their high-risk contacts in February with funding from the Ohio Department of Health.
The kits, known as Project DAWN kits, come with two pocket masks, two atomizers, two two-milliliter syringes and two milligrams of naloxone.
Project DAWN, which stands for "deaths avoided with naloxone," is an Ohio community-based overdose education and naloxone distribution program.
The first site was created in Portsmouth in 2012.
First responders administer naloxone if they believe someone has overdosed or if they observe symptoms such as blue or gray skin, sweating, unresponsiveness, absent or shallow breathing, absent or shallow pulse or pinpoint pupils, said Keith Evans, public health nursing supervisor with Richland Public Health.
It can be administered via intravenous (through the veins), intraosseous (into the bone marrow) or intranasal (in the nose) methods, Evans said.
Richland Public Health has provided 30 to 40 kits to first responders since January.
But the organization started discussions with the Ohio Department of Health in October to receive shipments of naloxone kits available to the public.
"Like any disease, if you get rid of that disease, then you can start the healing process," Evans said. "Easier said than done to eliminate the product from the community."
There are more than 50 Project DAWN naloxone distribution and training sites across Ohio, where members of the public can receive naloxone kits and training on how to administer the drug, but there are none in Richland County.
"When I see things like that where the county has a drug problem and then I also see that same county doesn't have a Project DAWN, it always kind of makes me scratch my head," Peshek said.
55 overdose deaths in 2016
So far in 2016, there have been 55 drug overdose deaths in Richland County, according to the Richland County Opiate Board's Keith Porch, who is assistant police chief with the Mansfield Police Department.
Richland County has seen an increase in the number of overdose deaths since 2012, when there were seven overdose deaths.
In 2013, there were 22 deaths, in 2014, there were 25 deaths and in 2015, there were 42 deaths.

When new Newcastle signings need to be registered by to take part against Watford
Newcastle keen on multiple additions
Newcastle United and Eddie Howe are incredibly busy this transfer window.
They have already brought in Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid, who made his debut in the embarrassing defeat to League One Cambridge United in the FA Cup third round.
I'm so happy to be joining Newcastle. Everyone knows the fans are unbelievably passionate and I will give my absolute all for them. I can't wait to get to work
Thank you to everyone at @nufc & the fans for the very warm welcome I have received so far pic.twitter.com/6d0raRrpnv

But, there is still plenty to do, with the likes of Benoit Badiashile, Chris Wood, and Diego Carlos all having been linked with a move to Tyneside this week alone.
Chris Wood will finalise a £25m switch to #NUFC after undergoing a medical before completing a move from Burnley.

But, with a relegation six-pointer with Watford coming on Saturday, they will be hoping reinforcements arrive sooner rather than later.
So, how late can Newcastle leave their business?
When do players need to be registered by?
Now, the latest that players can be registered in order to face the hornets has been revealed.
In order for Eddie Howe to be able to name them in his side, any new signings must be registered with the Premier League by midday on Friday, ahead of the game at 3pm on Saturday.
Must be registered by 12pm on Friday, for those seeking clarification – Eddie Howe pushing for deals.

With moves currently early in their development and just 36 hours to make them, will Newcastle be able to get any over the line?

A Look Back At the Innovative History of Chrysler
September 19th, 2017 by Bob Richards Automotive Group
Though the two other major American carmakers had a head start over them, Chrysler soon closed ground with their competitors and earned a spot as one of the 'Big Three' manufacturers thanks to their innovative and forward-thinking vehicles, which introduced several components that would later be seen as basic on later cars both here at home and worldwide. Of course, in the process they also produced several iconic vehicles, and we at Bob Richards Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram feel very privileged to be able to sell cars with such pedigree and history behind them – a history that we share with you in this week's blog, as we take a look at the history of Chrysler and the innovations they've brought to the modern world of auto making.
The Chrysler timeline begins in the early 20's, as Walter Chrysler works to revive the fortunes of Maxwell-Chalmers and stop them from falling prey to their competitors in the fast-evolving early auto industry. Chrysler's plan for this involved replacing the Chalmers cars with a vehicle of his own design for 1924 – the Chrysler 70 – which was the first car to have a carburetor air filter and an oil filter on its high-compression engine. Both filters would go on to become standard parts in later engines, and higher compression ratios would prove to be a key element in producing more powerful engines. Following the success of the 70, Walter Chrysler created the Chrysler Corporation on June 6 1925, and absorbed Maxwell into the new business entity. As a result, the Maxwell brand suffered the same fate as Chalmers did in 1923 – The last Maxwells were produced in 1925 but their handiwork lived on for one more year, as the smaller Chrysler that went on sale in 1926 was in fact a rebadged Maxwell design.
Continuing the technological advancement started by the Chrysler 70, the years that followed saw Chrysler lead the way again with their use of rubber engine mounts, Oilite bearings, hydraulic brakes and more features never before seen on a motor car. They also expanded operations by acquiring the Dodge brand, and creating the Plymouth, DeSoto and Imperial marques to join the established Chrysler badge. The vehicles produced by all five 'divisions', as Chrysler called them, would also use parts from a sixth – MoPar.
A foray into aerodynamics was Chrysler's next step forward in the mid-to-late 30's. Unfortunately the 'AirFlow' vehicles this venture led to were a commercial failure, but they do show just how far ahead of the game Chrysler's engineers were in their thinking at the time. Commercial vehicle production was halted during WW2 so the company could focus more on the war effort – charged as they were with the production of military vehicles and mobile radar units. However, Chrysler would come back to the civilian market with a renewed vigor once peace returned, and got back to doing what they did best – being bold and pioneering in their ideas and technology. Bit by bit, Chrysler slowly worked to move the auto industry forward through the 50's and 60's with another succession of firsts. Again, some were failures like the 1955 and 1956 Dodge LaFemme – a car aimed squarely and solely at female drivers – but they were more than balanced out by the successes, with this period seeing Chrysler switch to unibody construction (the method by which most cars are produced today) on most of their vehicles, add alternators to all vehicles by 1961, and put the first pony car on sale – the 1964 Plymouth Barracuda beat the Ford Mustang to dealerships by just a couple of weeks.
Another by-product of their wartime projects was a new engine design that was test flown in the P-47 Thunderbolt in the closing weeks of the war. A much smaller descendent of the aircraft engine, dubbed the 'FirePower' engine had found its way into some Chrysler-developed cars by 1951 and spread from there – but a legend would truly be born in 1964 when it was renamed with a nod to its revolutionary combustion chambers, which were hemispherical in shape. As a result the design became known simply as the 'Hemi' engine, and it almost single-handedly ushered in the era of the muscle car. Models such as the Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and the Plymouth Barracuda were essentially street legal race cars, and in that respect a kind of spiritual successor to the hot rod. Thanks to their affordability and sheer performance, muscle cars proved immensely popular and netted Chrysler a lot of money through the late 60's and early 70's, but they would also very nearly kill the company…
The gas crisis of 1973 spelled the end for the muscle car, and did considerable damage to Chrysler's (and the rest of the Big Three's) sales. Things got so bad that the corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy when former Ford executive Lee Iacocca was brought in to save Chrysler in 1978. Iacocca knew that the future lay with more European and Japanese- style vehicles with smaller, more economical engines, and so the thirsty, overly-powerful rear-wheel-drive cars that Chrysler had relied on for decades were phased out in favor of models offering less performance, but better gas mileage and more practicality. Amazingly, even with these restrictions Chrysler found some room for innovation – they're widely credited with inventing the Minivan in the early 80's, and the reintroduced Imperial of this era was the first American car to have fully electronic fuel injection – technology that Chrysler had tried to introduce back in the 50's but had been unable to popularize or make reliable at the time. Thanks to the success of Iacocca's designs, he was able to repay the government loan used to keep Chrysler alive after just four years, and in a strange twist of fate Chrysler added Jeep to the fold in 1987 – a deal not without irony since company founder Walter Chrysler got the job at Maxwell-Chalmers based on his successful resurrection of the struggling Willys Corporation, who would later go on to design and build the WW2 Jeep the civilian versions are descended from.
Lee Iacocca retired in 1992, and by that time the era of true innovation could be said to be over across the entire auto industry. Car makers the world over were largely using the same design formulas, pursuing the same long-term goals in terms of mechanical components, and quickly copying any unique elements on their competitors' models that proved to be commercially successful – think of the decades-long efforts by multiple manufacturers to make electric and hybrid vehicles commercially and practically viable, or the rapid proliferation of features like touchscreens, sensors and Bluetooth connectivity today. Nevertheless, even in such times one avenue always remains open – styling – and Chrysler took full advantage to again set themselves apart from the competition, this time aesthetically. Starting with the AC/Shelby Cobra-inspired lines and paint of early Dodge Vipers, moving on to the retro hot-rod looks and bright colors of the Plymouth Prowler and PT Cruiser in the late 90's and 2000's, before bringing a sleek art-deco look to cars like the Chrysler Crossfire and 300C of the 2000's. These cars stand out in traffic even today, as the theme is continued by the current Dodge Challenger – which is a clear homage to the 2nd generation Challenger of the 70's. What's more, the car also continues to break new ground in the name of the Chrysler corporation – the supercharged 6.2-liter engine you'll find under the hood of the 'SRT Demon' Challenger is the most powerful engine ever placed in a production car at 840 horsepower, and has led it to a host of record times, speeds and even a wheelie – something that's never been done before by a stock production vehicle.
The future will always have to remain a mystery, but we can say for certain that the Chrysler Corporation's contributions to the fields of car-making have been instrumental in its development thus far, and as we stated earlier, the Bob Richards team feels very privileged to sell vehicles with the kind of provenance and backstory possessed by the likes of the 300C and the Challenger. You can never tell when 'the next big thing' will come along or what it will be, but with a track record like Chrysler's there's a good chance that they'll be at the cutting edge when it arrives, and that means that there's no better place to stay up to speed than Bob Richards Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram!

Anaheim voters say overwhelmingly, yes, we want…
Anaheim voters say overwhelmingly, yes, we want council districts
By Art Marroquin and Keegan Kyle | Orange County Register
From the hills to the flatlands and into the west side, residents this month overwhelmingly approved a measure that calls for carving the city into voting districts by 2016, according to a Register analysis of voting data.
Measure L won in all but one of Anaheim's 147 voting precincts, passing with nearly 69 percent of the electorate's support. The sole precinct where the initiative lost sits in an industrial area of the city, where only one voter cast a ballot.
"It's awesome, but it's not a surprise at all," said Jose F. Moreno, president of the Anaheim City School District, who was part of a lawsuit filed two years ago claiming the city's current at-large election system unjustly shuts out Latinos.
"People understand the essential value of districts, which is to bring government closer to the people," Moreno said. "The message that all neighbors should have a voice really resonated with Anaheim."
Measure L was approved by 71 percent of people living in the flatlands, where the population is roughly 60 percent Latino.
About 63 percent of voters supported the initiative east of North Tustin Road and into Anaheim Hills, where 60 percent of the population is white.
The data also show that 26 percent of registered voters in the flatlands cast a ballot, compared with 36 percent of voters in the Hills.
"This city's geography is really wide, so the needs of someone living near Beach Boulevard or Citron Street might be different (than those of) people in my neighborhood," said Steve McKay, a real estate broker living in Anaheim Hills.
"I feel that there is a separation between the people who live in downtown from the people who live in the Hills, but we should be united," McKay said. "I think districts will bring us back together, because we will have representatives from every part of the city giving all of us a voice."
The City Council agreed earlier this year to place Measure L on the ballot to settle a lawsuit with the American Civil Liberties Union, Moreno and two Anaheim residents who said the city's current at-large election system violated the state's Voting Rights Act.
Only a few Latinos have served on the council during Anaheim's 157-year history, even though the ethnicity now makes up more than half of the city's population.
Until now, Anaheim was the largest city in California to practice at-large voting, which allows the electorate to cast ballots for any City Council candidate.
An advisory committee of three retired judges will now draw proposed maps that will be presented during community meetings. The City Council will select a final map by July 2016. Voters also approved expanding the panel, so there will be six instead of four districts; the mayor will continue to be elected at-large.
"I've lived in Anaheim my whole life, and a lot of changes seem to be happening in the Hills, but not down here," said Kaci Schleper, who lives in Anaheim's Colony Historic District and works as an administrative assistant for the Convention Center's catering department.
"Districts are good because council members will know the issues for their areas, which means the residents will be better represented," Schleper said. "I think my vote will actually mean something now."

If you live in Malawi, I would advise you to be very careful if you are planning to come out. It happened to me. I had underestimated the extent and impact my coming out would have on my life and the rest of my family and friends. I literally saw my world crumbling beneath my feet.
I got detained by the police for having my coming out interview. They arrested me and the reporter; our gadgets were confiscated. We were called bad names saying and told we were promoting homosexuality in Malawi. Soon, the news was everywhere.
Blantyre, my city, became too small and hot to accommodate me. Suddenly, I had become the hunted; the mob had formed, baying for my blood. In no time, they came to my house and ransacked everything, leaving the place in ruins. They headed for my mother's house and threw everything upside down looking for me. Fortunately, I had taken refuge at my friend's house, but things were getting worse. His family couldn't keep me any longer for fear of reprisal if the mob found out. I was asked politely to leave.
I thought the safest way to move was to take a minibus, but I was wrong. Immediately after I boarded the bus, a woman carrying the newspaper that had featured my coming out story recognized me.
I prayed for the earth to crack and swallow me alive. Within minutes, people started disembarking from the minibus, refusing to travel with me. The nightmare started to sink in. With hate and reproach, the conductor kicked me off the bus and threw my money to the ground with a venomous spit. What do you do in such a desperate situation? I quickly ran to a vendor and bought some dark sun glasses and a baseball cap. I covered my face like the hard criminal I thought I was.
The story of my coming out was published on Saturday and Sunday. I naively went to church, which was a big mistake. Immediately as I entered the church, the preacher recognized me and the tone of the sermon changed. He must have seen the devil himself enter his church, and he couldn't stomach it under the roof of God's House.
"We thought we are raising descent young men in this church," he started, "but God forbid, we are raising devils from hell. Devils who want men to marry men, women to marry women; in Jesus' name I condemn all devils in my church". Like a mad man, he raved on like with his venomous hate sermon. I rose and walked home, vowing never to step in any church again.
I am limited to do many things because people see me as the devil himself. I don't have a good relationship with the majority of my family members, and am verbally harassed for being honest about my sexuality.
Although the environment is hostile, I will never leave Malawi because I am entitled to enjoy the same rights being enjoyed by the heterosexual community. Malawians need information about the LGBTI community. The information that they have currently is mostly wrong. We need more awareness, safe spaces, and dialogues to break this silence.

BROAD STREET BULLIES — Led by pugnacious captain Bobby Clarke, Philadelphia brawled its way to its only Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975. The Flyers were the foe in the most penalty-filled game (294 minutes) in Caps home history in February 1991, not including then-Flyers assistant Ken Hitchcock getting into a screaming match with some unruly Washington fans.
So with Clarke as general manager and Hitchcock as coach, it wasn't surprising that the host Flyers combined with the Ottawa Senators for an NHL-record 419 penalty minutes Friday. Even goalies Robert Esche of Philadelphia and Patrick Lalime of Ottawa took part in the five brawls that littered the final two minutes and left seven Flyers and six Senators who hadn't been given game misconducts. Clarke had to be prevented from invading Ottawa's locker room afterward.
The bad blood began with Ottawa's playoff eliminations of Philadelphia the past two springs and heated up when the Senators' Martin Havlat hit the Flyers' Mark Recchi in the face with his stick last week, drawing a two-game NHL suspension. Matters boiled over Friday when enforcers Rob Ray of Ottawa and Donald Brashear of Philadelphia dropped the gloves with 1:45 left and Philadelphia winning 5-3.
GOING, GOING, GONE — This week's trades that sent Sergei Gonchar and Michael Nylander to Boston left nine of the 20 Caps who played in last April's playoff series against Tampa Bay on the Washington roster. Sergei Berezin and Ken Klee weren't re-signed. Calle Johannson retired. Steve Konowalchuk, Jaromir Jagr, Peter Bondra, Robert Lang, Gonchar and Nylander have been traded. Brian Sutherby and Ivan Ciernik are in the minors.
LESS THAN THREE — Shopping days that is. The NHL's trade deadline is 3 p.m. Tuesday and as of last night, goalie Olie Kolzig, defenseman Brendan Witt and wingers Mike Grier and Anson Carter — all being dangled by Caps GM George McPhee — were still in Washington uniforms.

Game #24 Pacers vs Hawks
How many rebounds will Sabonis get tonight??

Game Preview: Pacers vs Hawks
Wednesday, December 1, 2021 at 7:00 PM ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse
Matchup
After dropping a road game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Pacers (9-14) are returning to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for six consecutive games. The first matchup is on Wednesday nights as the Blue & Gold take on a hungry Atlanta Hawks (11-10) squad.
The Hawks' season has progressed much like the Pacers' prior opponent. After stumbling out of the gate to a 4-9 record, Atlanta had won seven in a row before dropping a contest to the New York Knicks last Saturday. Coming into this matchup, the foes will have had a rare three-day break in between games. Meanwhile, this will be Indiana's third contest in four nights.
The Blue & Gold will have to fight through the fatigue if they wish to slow down Trae Young. The fourth-year guard is putting together yet another elite season and currently ranks fifth in the NBA in scoring as of Monday (26.0 points per game). The dynamic scorer hurts teams in multiple ways. He is shooting 39.2 percent from 3-point range and takes an average of 5.7 free-throw attempts per game — the 14th most in the NBA.
Aiding Young are five other players that average in double figures, with big men John Collins (16.6 points per game) and Clint Capela (12.1) leading the way in that group. Capela also impacts teams on the defensive end, as he has turned into quite the capable shot-blocker.
However, as a whole, the team appears to struggle on the defensive end. Surprisingly, despite having a defensive-minded head coach in Nate McMillan, the Hawks rank 23rd in the league in defensive rating. Atlanta surrenders a staggering average of 109.5 points per 100 possessions.
If Indiana can contain Young and prevent a shootout from occurring, a balanced attack by the Pacers' offense could pull off a much-needed victory to start this season-long homestand.

Pacers: Myles Turner - questionable (non-COVID illness), Justin Holiday - out (health and safety protocols), T.J. Warren – out (left foot stress fracture)
Hawks: Cam Reddish - questionable (left wrist sprain), Bogdan Bogdanovic - out (sprained right ankle), De'Andre Hunter - out (right wrist tendon surgery), Jalen Johnson - out (G League assignment), Onyeka Okongwu - out (right shoulder injury recovery)
May 6, 2021: Coming off a discouraging loss to the Sacramento Kings, the Pacers redeemed themselves by toppling the Hawks, 133-126, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Blue & Gold played solidly all night, building up a double-digit lead throughout the game. They managed to hold off a late Hawks rally down the stretch to take home the victory.
Six Pacers finished in double figures in the win; two reached the 30-point mark. Caris LeVert tallied a game-high 31 on 12-of-20 shooting. He also dished out 12 assists to record a double-double. Domantas Sabonis followed closely behind with 30, finishing a scorching 12-of-14 from the floor and a perfect 3-of-3 from deep. T.J. McConnell added 19, five assists, and four steals off the bench. As a team, the squad shot 62.1 percent from the floor for the contest.
Indiana took a 14-point lead into the final frame. However, John Collins scored seven of a 12-2 Hawks run that closed the gap to four in the early stages of the fourth. After a timeout, Collins added a three-point play to trim the deficit to 112-111 with 8:33 left. After a back-and-forth spree, LeVert caught fire, keeping the Hawks on an uphill battle. Two jumpers with two minutes remaining from the guard pushed Indiana's lead to six. When Bogdan Bogdanovic hit a triple, LeVert responded once more with a baseline jumper. After Atlanta missed a 3-pointer, the Pacers waltzed easily to the win.
Indiana has won seven straight home games against Atlanta dating back to the 2016-17 season.
Pacers assistant coach Lloyd Pierce was the Hawks' head coach for 2.5 years until former Pacers head coach Nate McMillan took over the reins midway through the 2020-21 season.
With a win, Rick Carlisle would move into the second spot for head coaching victories in Pacers NBA franchise history.

Also this means hopefully we can

Also worth noting that McMillan won't be coaching. He's self-isolating after one of his coaching staff entered COVID-19 protocols.

As long as Young shows up to the game, we don't have much of a chance regardless.

Gardner-Webb University Announces Record-Breaking Enrollment for 2012 Fall Semester
– Posted on September 3, 2012Posted in: Academics, Campus News, Students
Nearly 5,000 Students Currently Enrolled at GWU
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Enrollment at Gardner-Webb this fall is up more than four percent over last year, totaling a record 4,970 students in all university programs. The University also welcomed the largest freshmen class in history with 494 students. Last year, a total of 4,768 students were enrolled at the University.
"We are ecstatic to have enrolled the largest number of new students in the traditional undergraduate program," said Debra Hintz, vice president for enrollment management. "We are extremely fortunate and blessed to work with a community of dedicated faculty and staff that have enabled our success."
Several programs and areas broke records including the Gayle Bolt Price School of Graduate Studies, which logged a 36.33 percent jump in enrollment to 1291 students. The Master of Nursing program generated an all-time high with a total of 145 students for a total increase of nearly seven percent over 2011. For the first time in Gardner-Webb history, the School of Divinity is above the 200-student mark, enrolling a total of 238 this fall.
"In addition to the increased enrollment, this population has demonstrated the highest academic credentials in the history of the University," said Hintz. The average high school grade point average for first-year students is also the best ever at 3.61, compared to 3.53 in 2011 and 3.47 in 2009 and 2010.
"We have met goals for new traditional undergraduates, although we lost some ground in returning students," said vice-president and provost Dr. Ben Leslie. "Graduate programs, on the other hand, have far exceeded expectations."
Gardner-Webb's continued growth in both undergraduate and graduate enrollment speaks volumes on the necessity of both ongoing and recently completed projects that are part of the University's Higher Ground Campaign. The Tucker Student Center offers new and returning students a transformational facility in which to study, socialize, and connect with services to enhance their college experience. Complete with skylight ceilings and glass walls, open staircases and fresh-air balconies, the Center's personality was designed to mirror that of Gardner-Webb's community: open, relational, transparent and unique.
Ever-increasing student enrollment also revealed a deep need for a science research facility that would enable students to do compelling research in the 21st century. When the University launched its Higher Ground Campaign, building a new science annex topped the list of priorities for strengthening the academic program. Construction on the new science research wing is nearing completion and will give current and incoming students access to new research equipment that, combined with Gardner-Webb's budget to support undergraduate research, will propel them into the center of the nation's most critical research conversations in the sciences.
In November of 2010, GWU launched the Higher Ground Campaign to raise $45 million for student scholarships, faculty development, buildings, service learning and several other university needs. The Higher Ground Campaign is rooted in the University's strategic plan and focuses on: strengthening the Christian foundation of the University; strengthening the academic program; becoming a true student centered university; maintaining a reputable and competitive athletic program; maintaining a culture of service; and building supportive relationships and new facilities.

After murdering his wife's lover, Joakim is sentenced to death, but escapes when the guillotine malfunctions. His final wish is then fulfilled: to regress to a foetus in the womb of his lover. The protagonist is the same as in Joakim Naken, but the story also bears similarities to Sawdust and Tinsel, where Frost tells Albert about a dream in which he became smaller and smaller, ultimately becoming an embryo in Alma's belly before disappearing altogether.

An Old Man Contemplates an Old Man's Layout
By George, I Think He's Got It!
For a while, I have been ruminating on adding a turnout and some track to the existing layout, which is, operationally, already first-rate. As things recently turned out, this continuous cranial itch was finally scratched when space and purpose were created as a part of adding scenery to the layout.
When I started building the layout, I was planning to use an Atlas code 83 snap track turnout for the factory spur, but after I realized how bad they were when used with DCC, I changed it out for a trouble-free Peco turnout.
While developing sight lines for adding scenery, the non-operating, disconnected display track at the front of the layout did not seem to be all that railroad like. To address this situation and to stop the ruminating, the old snap track turnout was installed in the middle of the display track at the road crossing, thereby adding a short spur to the layout. It runs to the left at an angle behind the vignettes, toward the low rocky ridge. When the useful and unique, track cleaning snowplow bash is parked at the far end of this spur, the display track begins to have a prototypical railroad look, cluttered but functional.
The repair shed and the passenger station remain in their original roles as changeable vignettes on the far left end of the display track. However, the former MOW vignette became a permanent part of the layout at the center of the display track, after juggling around some of its details, thus providing a home base for the maintenance railcar bash and its trailer.
Another rolling stock bash that is worthy of full time display is the railbus and trailer. When not a part of the station vignette, it shares this duty with Bachmann twenty-six foot freight cars, it is parked beyond the right side of the road crossing, close to the factory, making the display track railroad like from one end to the other.
My layout, frustratingly, continues to be a working model of the, so called, Butterfly Effect. In the effect, a very small change in initial conditions creates a significantly different outcome and on the layout this small, some of the outcomes are not so good.
In getting the track just right, I have been dealing with this effect since the beginning of the project, but it has now reared its head, or should I say it flapped its wings, when it comes to scenery. Nature can be a heartless mother when one is trying to be a recovering perfectionist.
Perhaps I should be more like the railfan photographers of old, the ones with the Hasselflexes and the Rollieblads. In their commodious camera bags they not only carried film, they also carried lopping and pruning shears (at least one even carried a saw) to remove any unwanted vegetation that intruded into their viewfinder images. While I cannot fault their results, I always felt that this was cheating.
In adding scenery to the layout, emulating their deceitful ways may turn out to be a workable method. Now where did I put those tiny scissors and those old fashioned eyebrow tweezers?
Santa didn't stop at my house last night.
I ordered some scenery material off of eBay. It left California via USPS on December the sixteenth and promptly disappeared, with talk of Valentine's Day or even St. Patrick's Day as possible delivery times.
As I am anxious to get started and I have been good all year long, I was hoping that Santa Claus would make things right, but he passed up my house. As a railfan, even a token bag of coal would have been appreciated.
Well...he didn't just pass by. When I saw him fly over I let loose a string of epithets that would have made a sailor blush. In return, he responded with an obscene gesture.
After I calmed down, I chalked it all up to a learning experience and a sign of the times. Before last night, I never realizer that one could pilot a reindeer powered flying sleigh while giving the finger to someone on the ground.
May your holidays be merry and bright!
Merry Christmas Dan and hopefully your scenery package will show up soon.
Follow along as my dog and I travel the country in our van.

While the layout scenery supplies slowly work their way through Xmas package purgatory, courtesy of the United States Postal Service, I took another look at the snap switch turnout installation on the layout display track and there were two problems.
First, while it looked good, it took up a lot of room and, second, the points occupied the road crossing and that would require some pretty fancy cutting and fitting of the road surface, which my currently compromised hands are not in favor of.
I first though of just putting up a couple of barriers to make it seem as if the crossing was ripped out and under repair, but for some reason, O scale barriers are a bit on the pricey side and my clumsy meat hooks would soon reduce them to plastic shards.
I settled on making another fake kick switch that is similar to the one at the mainline end of the display track. On that one, there was a straight track blending into the mainline curve, which was a bit tricky. On the new one, it is a straight track blending into another straight track, which is much easier.
Armed with my trusty razor saw and aided with a dash of serendipity, the diverting angle of the new kick switch is close to the angle of the snap track frog and it is almost in the same position on the layout as that frog, so the diverting tracks stayed about in the same position. As it is a lot shorter than the snap track turnout, it clears the road crossing, while looking prototypical.
A potential sow's ear turns out to be a silk purse.
With the layout scenery material delayed in the mail, I resurrected an old project out of boredom. Recently I stated that I now had all of the locomotives that I needed; however, I don't have all of the locomotives that I want. What I want is a pygmy version of Bachmann's hulking On30 Whitcomb (side rods are optional). It very much needs to be the operational opposite of the disappointing as well as chronically problematic Bachmann On30 Davenport.
As selections in the On30 critter market are currently sparse, a search of the internet and eBay provide a suitable HO donor for making a bash. What is wanted is a two or three axle, ridged frame loco, with the couplers mounted close to the outer axles to facilitate coupling. The frame of the venerable Athearn Hustler is physically correct, but who needs a supersonic narrow gauge switcher?
In the foggy recesses of my aging brain are memories of similar models that have gear drives. Ernst made a mechanical drive that replaced the Athearn rubber bands, but it is now long out of production and in hindsight, it appears that it had some problems. There were also Hustler clones as well as look-alikes that featured worm gear drives, which were made and marketed for the HO toy train market, but none of them were quite right, operationally.
In HO, Bachmann made a three axle variation of the Plymouth MDT industrial locomotive for the model railroad market, that physically and mechanically meets my needs. Unlike the AHM and Model Power versions, which have only the rear axle powered, the Bachmann MDT has two powered outer axles along with an unpowered center axle, thus there are six wheels for power pickup. Also, as on the Hustler, the couplers are attached to the side frame assembly, instead of being mounted to a separate body.
Technically, the three axle underframe makes it a model of a Plymouth WDT, but in bashing On30, such discrepancies are not a concern. The Chinese made versions (prior to about 1990 they were from Yugoslavia) did not share the widespread problems created by Bachmann's Great Gear Debacle, so I bought a "pre-owned" one off of eBay. Although it is now out of production, Bachmann stocks a good supply of replacement parts.
Silk purse (part 2)
Without inspecting and test running, such buys are often a pig in a poke. It is at times like this that I really miss attending the local train shows, where I could wander around seeking what I needed and then, if my quests were successful, I could take stuff home with me. I have reconciled with myself that the price of shipping on any given item is usually the same or even less than the price of admission to a show. It is the time lag, due to shipping, that still gets to me.
When I opened up the Bachmann loco, I found that the original owner (it was a third party eBay sale) had installed a Digitrax DZ143 DCC decoder, so it was, unexpectedly, ready to run on the layout and it runs very well. As it crawls around the track at a prototypical walking speed, it moves very quietly, and it negotiates the Peco turnout as well as the factory spur without any problems.
While I am enamored with the performance of the mechanism, I have never been a fan of the MDT body style, but in bashing you go with what you got - unless something better comes along. On the AHM and Model Power versions of the MDT, the cab and body are oversized to the extent that they can be used, as is, for On30. Although the Bachmann model is slightly smaller, it is also usable. I was hoping to substitute the cab off of the On30 Davenport for the stock cab, but this did not work out and scratch building a new cab is currently not an option.
There are, basically, three cab heights for On30 diesels. As they are independent of the hood heights, some of the critters look a might strange. Some cabs are tall enough to allow an average size driver to stand up inside. Others appear to be freakishly short, so the driver has to squat (when seated, his butt is below the level of his knees) and this is the current size of the Bachmann cab.
I much prefer the look of a cab where the driver can comfortably sit, but not stand up, so the bottom of the Bachmann cab needs to be raised above the frame by about nine scale inches. Serendipitously, the Bachmann cab is easily removable and new ones are available as spare parts, in case I should screw things up.
BigLars
Dan, I hope this old post of mine gives you some ideas. http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/t...TOPIC_ID=36138
I tend to do considerable research before I start hacking things to pieces with my trusty razor saw and I found your comprehensive posting in the forum archives.
I find it interesting that not much has been done in the years since. Have we reached the end of the critter bashing era?
All the best to everyone.
There is still lots of slashing and bashing done in ON30. Unfortunately not a lot here. There are a few groups on Facebook devoted to it with frequent posts.
Here are two photos of the display track turnout situation. The first one shows the snap track turnout and the road crossing, while the second shows the kick switch replacement, which misses the road crossing.
Reinterpreting A Frustum Of A Rectangular Pyramid
The scenery on the left side of the layout is to be a pastoral tableau consisting mostly of trees and shrubs. As the sightlines dictate that something of a railroad nature needs to be placed at the point where the curving track approaches close to the scenic backdrop, what could be better for the eye to focus on than a diminutive, locomotive water tank that appears to be located in the middle of nowhere. Operationally, it is located near the quarry end of the railroad, so locos can top off their water supply before making the trek back to the factory with a train of loaded cars.
Suitable, shake-the-box plastic kits for HO water tanks have been around for a long time. The actual tank assembly, which will hold 2,300 O-scale gallons, never seems to change, but the supporting bases vary from time to time, as in the case here. As they are about eight feet tall, the bases place the bottoms of the water tanks at the right height for servicing the smaller On30 steamers.
A Model Power No. 428 HO Water Tank was selected as the illustration on the box appeared interesting as well as potentially suitable for an On30 scene. However, as things turned out, the illustration shown on the box was not exactly what was inside. When the kit parts were separated from the casting sprues, it became apparent that the base was to be a rather odd shape.
Geometrically, it was a frustum of a rectangular pyramid, which required three hands to successfully put together; two to hold the parts in alignment and the third to apply the glue. As I am now down to one and a half functional hands, I decided to bash the thing together using my trusty razor saw and a bit of sandpaper.
As the parts were originally molded to fit together at odd angles, the tops and bottoms of the main tank supports were sanded down so they would now fit at right angles, but the tapered ends of the base, that were supplied with the kit, were no longer usable. The needed transverse tank support, combined with sway bracing, came from my box of old HO parts.
A pair of plastic trestle bents from an over and under, figure eight set were just about right, The molded on footers and caps were sawed off and discarded, with the remains fitted in between the modified uprights of the main tank supports. The protruding tops of these bents fit between the joists that support the tank assembly, so everything needed, structurally, for a base that is now a rectangular prism is visually there.
Pyramid - Part 2
The box illustration indicates that the main tank supports are to be placed parallel to the tracks. However, as Bachmann's wide 2-6-0 and Whitcomb diesel, along with their portly passenger cars, are occasionally run on the layout, and the water tank is positioned on the inside of a tight curve, adequate trackside clearances need to be addressed. Therefore, the main tank supports are now positioned at right angles to the track, presenting the narrower side of the base to the passing trains, with the tank assembly being rotated ninety degrees in the process.
Some extra kit parts were used to make a small ground level platform for supporting an added on, laser cut wood ladder, that reaches to the top of the tank. Filling out the water tank scene is a small yellow shed. In the real world, the outhouse sized shed is too small to be a functional pump house, so it is used for storing supplies at the quarry end of the line.
So how does the water in this middle of nowhere tank get replenished? A hydraulic ram pump would have been used. When this unattended and maintenance free pump is placed in a nearby free flowing stream, a factor in selecting the lineside locations of prototype water tanks, the pump will slowly and relentlessly replace the 1,500 gallons a day used by the layout locomotives.
The prototype pumps kept working even on days when no trains were running, with any overflow being drained back into the stream - simple and environmentally friendly. It is gratifying when old-time, real world railroad engineering affirms what is being depicted on the layout.
Dan, thanks for the update and nice water tank and explanation on how it works.
Trouble in River City.
As the above song lyric goes: That starts with T and rhymes with P and stands for Plotz. Yes, in this case, Plotz!
Just when things are going good, here is yet another potentially calamitous situation to be concerned about. Don't get me started on what will happen when my Bachmann Dynamis DCC control system, now out of production, goes on the fritz.
For this present situation, as I was testing my attempts at bashing a critter or two, I noticed that they picked up a wobble at a certain spot on the mainline track. Everywhere else they sat square and wobble free on the rails.
It seems that a six inch long straight fitter piece of the Atlas code 83 track decided to warp, not only up and down, but also sideways. I had heard that, in the past, Atlas had been having considerable quality control issues with their Chinese manufacturer and this seems to prove it.
The layout track is a mix of old and recent purchases, but none of the other pieces has given problems - so far! I replaced the bad piece with the only spares on hand, two three inch long fitters from the display track. Prototypically, I put the bad piece in the yard, in this case back in the display track.
Has anyone noticed a similar problem? As I am way too old to start hand laying track, I could go back to using Atlas code 100 sectional track, which has been essentially bullet proof for many years.
Speaking of replacements, I am looking at the NCE Power Cab system for the present Dynamis, whenever it decides to die.


Celebrate International Day of Disabled People 2018 with Disability Arts Online at DaDaFest. Colin Hambrook and Trish Wheatley from Disability Arts Online host a panel discussion and invite the audience to respond to a recent provocation questioning perceptions of the Disability Arts Movement, past, present and future.
Allan Sutherland performs extracts from his new collection of transcription poetry drawn from oral history interviews with disabled artists.
As part of the D4D project, Allan Sutherland is carrying out research through his arts practice to explore the notion of community within disability arts. Linked to this, is Disability Arts Online's research and reflection on disability, the arts and the impact of funding policy, austerity and digital technology on community.
1. What does disability arts mean to you? Do you feel part of a disability arts movement now? Have you felt part of a Disability Arts Movement in the past?
2. How has the shift in economic policies and the withdrawal of state support for disabled people affected the creation of disability art? Have the barriers faced by disabled people changed? How do we see those changes played out through our art?
3. What impact has the internet had on the disability sector? How has the shift from disabled people coming together in the communal space to communicate in the digital space affected our disabled identity?
Read the full provocation here on our website.
Darren Henley chief executive of Arts Council England will open the event with a short presentation on how the Arts Council intends to support the future development of disabled artists.
This event is part of the D4D project, funded by the AHRC's Connected Communities research programme.

The New Color of the Year: 2017
Green is the new black, or so that's what the color Gods of Pantone are saying, by making Greenery the 2017 color of the year. Every year, The Pantone Color Institute chooses a color that is symbolic to what is going on in our global culture. According to them, "[The color] serves as an expression of a mood, an attitude" .
Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute so eloquently states, "Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with the reassurance we yearn for amid a tumultuous social and political environment. Satisfying our growing desire to rejuvenate and revitalize, Greenery symbolizes the re-connection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose."
A bright, cheerful, zesty green will start being thrown onto walls, into advertisements and draping around mannequin bodies everywhere. But the new color is much more than fashion. It is a direct button hitting the psychological responses that our world has been concentrating on, as we approach a new era of production and consumption. We are trying to "go-back" to nature and remind ourselves to stop looking at a screen and start gazing into the earth around us. It also symbolizes an era of saving our earth. By re-using and re-purposing materials, consuming less chemicals and genetically modified foods, we make the statement of joining together to get healthy and reduce the environmental impact that we have on our earth.
The revolution has begun...are you in?
