Pizzamoreh
It was during a road trip to get an oven when a song came on the radio, and an idea suddenly hit Dax Guest Ross – no, not in the eye, but That's Amore made him think of the perfect slice of pie, which made him think of the perfect name for his new business.
Pizzamoreh is a place where local ingredients, a wood-fired oven and the mom and son team of Dax Guest Ross and Patricia Guest make their culinary magic.
"It all happened really fast – we were operating about a month after we got home from that trip," says Dax. And while making a living in the restaurant world wasn't always his dream ("there was a time when I said I never wanted to set foot in a kitchen," he laughs), he comes from a culinary family. Patricia has been a chef for almost 40 years, and the longtime Peachlanders owned the restaurant L'Oven at Pizzamoreh's current location – 2565 Main St. In West Kelowna. Dax has taken over the new place, and despite being open only since February 2019, Pizzamoreh has become a popular spot.
He says it's all in the crust – a blend of whole wheat and white flour makes for a unique texture and taste, and when you add the freshest ingredients with some imagination – well, you fall in love.
"So many people love pizza and that's one thing we like to do is stick with really good pizza using local ingredients," Dax says.
Pizzamoreh owner Dax Guest Ross says one secret to Pizzamoreh's success is their steel pizza pans. It's preferred over a stone – and you can buy one to take home! Check out their website..
"It's hard to make a bad pizza, but it's also super hard to make a really excellent one."
Whether you want to try something completely different (The Okanagan Classic, for example, has a pizza sauce / pesto mix as the base, followed by a three-cheese medley, pears and ham), or the kids just want a plain ol' pizza with just cheese, Pizzamoreh has something for every palette. Salads and desserts – limoncello tiramisu, anyone? -are made fresh and in-house.
From opening their drive-thru (where you can order your crust crispy or more chewy, depending on preference), to offering frozen take and bake pizzas, to coming up with some cool contests on their Facebook page, Dax (who has lived in Peachland since he was three years old) says being a business owner has been an adventure so far.
"For the past year or so we've been offering fresh pizzas, salads and desserts, and then we started getting into making frozen pizzas. Then COVID hit and we opened up the drive-thru. It was actually my mom's idea when we first opened, but we never used it," says Dax.
"Dax actually said 'drive-thru pizza is stupid, mom," Patricia adds with a laugh.
Right now, both Patricia and Dax are focussed on Pizzamoreh's growth.
"We take pride in our premium ingredients, sourced from local businesses," Patricia says.
She's also pretty proud of her son – and it goes beyond pizza.
"Dax has a real passion for helping people and inspiring them to be the best that they can be," she says.
You can order a freshly-made or frozen pizza to enjoy at home (they're even hitting local store shelves!), or starting Oct. 9, the restaurant will be open for sit-down service with COVID protocols in place.

The rumors appear to be true, and the BMW R series is getting an update to its motor for 2010. Maintaining its existing 1,170cc displacement, the most notable change to BMW's flat boxer motor is a dual-overhead camshaft (DOHC) cylinder head setup, which was previously only seen on the HP2 Sport.
With the bore and stroke staying the same for 2010, the R lineup will continue to use the same 101 x 73mm cylinders, making a total of 1,170cc's. The real changes and improvements come from the new cylinder head design. The DOHC design features two chain-driven camshafts, with each camshaft controlling both an intake and exhaust valve in the radial four-valve head.
While the cylinder hasn't changed, the valves have, and will come with an increased diameter size (intake: 1.42-1.54 inches; exhaust: 1.22-1.30 inches). The valves will also have an increased lift, while maintaining the same 12:1 compression ratio. Lastly, the combustion chamber shape has been modified, and now employees the use of red-designed cast-aluminum pistons, which will also make better use of the redesigned air intake manifolds.
All of this means a more powerful and higher-revving motor. Expect to see 110hp @ 7750 rpm (+5hp increase) at the crank, and peak torque at 88lb•ft @ 6000 rpm (+3lb•ft). The motor's redline has also been increased by 500rpm, which raises it to 8,500 rpm's.
The new Boxer motor is the core upgrade to the three 2010 R-series machines announced by BMW: the 2010 BMW R1200GS, 2010 BMW R1200GS Adventure, and 2010 BMW R1200RT.


All of us need to get away once in a while and break up our monotonous routine. Disabled people at ALEH are no different, but taking a wheelchair-bound severely disabled child to Tiberias' magnificent Kinneret for three days is no simple matter. It is, in fact, a major logistical challenge. But ALEH's staff does it anyway – purely out of love.
36 residents of Moriah, accompanied by staff members and an almost endless supply of equipment, traveled north this summer for a 3-day vacation filled with excitement and fun.
First stop was in Raanana Park, a unique park with specialized equipment for children with special needs. A local class of 5th graders on a similar outing approached the children of Moriah shyly at first, asking permission to play with them. As they warmed up to each other, the language of the heart overcame all boundaries and very soon the children were playing together as if they were old friends.
From the park the children went straight to cool off in the water, enjoying a beautiful boat ride with the wind rippling their hair and ocean waves lapping at their feet. Toward evening they headed to the Kinar hotel at the shores of the Kinneret, where they were treated to a festive meal.
The next day was filled with pool fun, park excitement and scenic views of the entire area at the top of the Yarmok bridge. Toward nightfall the children enjoyed a bonfire with lively singing and dancing. A light-and-shadow movement show kept them fascinated as they watched a white sheet come to life as it danced and swayed in the twilight.
The next day, after a delicious picnic in Gilboa it was time to go home, with full hearts and memories to last until the next vacation….
Spirited music, globs of shaving cream and the sounds of laughter and joy filled Jerusalem's beautiful Rose Garden opposite the Knesset during ALEH Jerusalem's annual summer celebration.
After a walk around the park and lake the children were ready for the carnival that had been prepared just for them. From booth to booth they ran, shaving cream from balloons, splashing in the water games, sliding down the water slides and enjoying a variety of creative activity. The icing on the cake was the magnificent parachutist show, followed by a scrumptious barbeque.
The children were surrounded by their loving parents, siblings and extended family in addition to their beloved ALEH family and devoted volunteers. A special thank you to the National Service girls who worked so hard to make this event the success it was.
Enveloped by love and satiated in body and spirit, the children returned home to ALEH with the smiles still on their faces.

"GUNSENSEUS" PRESSURES PA SHERIFFS TO BREAK THE LAW & EXPOSE GUN OWNERS' PERSONAL INFORMATION
QUAKER "PEACE" AGENDA OF CHESTER COUNTY, PA HAS THE GALL TO MONITOR SHERIFFS' COMPLIANCE;
"GUNSENSEUS" PRESSURES PA SHERIFFS
TO BREAK THE LAW & EXPOSE GUN OWNERS'
BY JOHN CRUMP
SEE: https://www.ammoland.com/2019/10/gunsenseus-pressures-pa-sheriffs-to-break-the-law-expose-gun-owners-personal-info/#axzz62oAPPSD3;
Harrisburg, Penn. –-(Ammoland.com)- According to firearms attorney Joshua Prince of the Prince Law Offices, GunSenseUs is trying to pressure Sheriffs into contacting references of people who apply for a license to carry in Pennsylvania.
GunSenseUs is an anti-gun group whose stated mission "is to foster community well-being by seeking common-sense solutions that recognize ALL citizens' rights and responsibilities," capitalization their emphasis.
Says Joshua Price :
"In violation of PA law, GunSenseUs is demanding [in a form letter embedded below] that our PA Sheriffs disclose confidential license to carry firearms applicant information or be subjected to GunSenseUs issuing a press release in local papers," Prince said in a statement.
"PLEASE let your Sheriff know not to bow to their pressure, as it is both a criminal and civil violation of law to disclose LTCF applicant information. Further, maybe you want to send GunSenseUs – gunsenseus@gmail.com – and GunSenseUs President Ann Colby-Cummings – acummings610@gmail.com – an email with your thoughts on their soliciting and conspiring with PA Sheriffs to violate PA law."
Pennsylvania Gun Owner Shaming & Harassment
The anti-gun group sent a threatening letter to sheriffs across the commonwealth, asking them to sign a pledge to contact at least two non-family member references for anyone applying for a license to carry. If the sheriffs were to comply with the order, they would violate 18 Pa.C.S. 6111(i) and 18 Pa.C.S. 6111(g)(3.1).
18 Pa.C.S. 6111(i) reads:
Any person … who knowingly and intentionally obtains or furnishes information collected or maintained pursuant to section 6109 for any purpose other than compliance with this chapter or who knowingly or intentionally disseminates, publishes or otherwise makes available such information to any person other than the subject of the information commits a felony of the third degree
18 Pa.C.S. 6111(g)(3.1) reads:
Confidentiality.–All information provided by the … applicant, including, but not limited to, the … applicant's name or identity, furnished by … any applicant for a license to carry a firearm as provided by section 6109 shall be confidential and not subject to public disclosure. In addition to any other sanction or penalty imposed by this chapter, any person, … State or local governmental agency or department that violates this subsection shall be liable in civil damages in the amount of $1,000 per occurrence or three times the actual damages incurred as a result of the violation, whichever is greater, as well as reasonable attorney fees.
It is illegal for the sheriff to release any information about citizens applying for a license to carry. The demand letter from GunSenseUs is asking the sheriffs to break the law.
AmmoLand News has not been able to find any sheriffs that have complied with the demand. If they were to comply with the demand, the sheriff would put themselves in a precarious position.
The group behind GunSenseUs is threatening to send press releases to the local papers if the sheriffs do not subjugate themselves to the group demands. They have given the departments until October 23rd, 2019, to respond with a signed pledge. The group timed their effort to be around the time that the sheriffs are up for reelection. The President of GunSenseUs, Ann Colby-Cummings, signed the letter.
Jon Patton of the Gun Collective, who lives in Pennsylvania, thinks the people should vote out any sheriff that does dare to comply with the anti-gun group's extortion demands. He hopes no law enforcement agencies give in the group's pressure but understands that the group is using their political weight against sheriffs running for reelection.
"Any sheriff that bows down to a partisan group shouldn't be elected anyway," Patton told AmmoLand News. "They are meant to serve, protect, and uphold the law. They are not there to take up a political agenda. Bowing down to a group like this would show who they are and shows that they shouldn't be in the role of sheriff."
Patton isn't the only one disturbed by the anti-gun group threatening sheriffs into breaking the law. Erich Pratt, Executive Vice President of Gun Owners of America, is also upset by the group's illegal demands, but he was not surprised that gun-hating radicals at GunSenseUs would issue the letter.
"What irony," Pratt told AmmoLand News. "The gun grabbers at GunSenseUs hate the Second Amendment so much; they are trying to bully sheriffs into doing their bidding, even though it would require law enforcement to break the law. GunSenseUs would do better by actually focusing on lawbreakers and trying to reform a turnstile justice system that puts dangerous criminals back onto the street."
"Gun owners value their privacy and oppose a registration. But, of course, anti-gun zealots could care less if the information on concealed carry holders is abused. And this just underscores why Pennsylvania must pass HB 1412, a bill to allow Constitutional Carry. Law-abiding gun owners should be free to carry firearms for self-defense without being registered like sex offenders."
Prince is asking anyone who had their private information disclosed or had a sheriff ask for more information than required for a license to carry firearms to contact the Firearms Industry Consulting group to discuss their rights and legal options.
AmmoLand News reached out to GunSenseUs for clarification on their request by email and Facebook. Although the group saw our messages, they refused to respond.

Centre for Global Health Policy
Why study global health?
"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane." - Martin Luther King, Jr
In the 21st century, improving health and achieving equity in health is one of the world's greatest challenges. At a time of unprecedented integration and interdependence of economies, environments, societies and cultures, these global processes interact with national, through to local and personal factors to impact the health of individuals and populations.
The MSc in Global Health at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) aims to develop students' understanding of these global health determinants and their potential solutions in order to produce individuals who are equipped to contribute to the improvement of health and the achievement of equity in health worldwide.
The course brings together experts from disciplines within and beyond the health sciences to deliver a vibrant programme that will appeal widely, covering topics such as: poverty; inequalities and health; cultural understandings of health and healing; emerging infectious diseases; global disease burden of infectious and non-communicable disease; climate change and health; and the relationship between disease, globalisation and global governance.

Nathaniel Portlock (c. 1748 – 12 September 1817) was a British ship's captain, maritime fur trader, and author.

He entered the Royal Navy in 1772 as an able seaman, serving in . In 1776 he joined  as master's mate and served on the third Pacific voyage of James Cook. During the expedition, in August 1779, he was transferred to .

He passed his lieutenant's examination on 7 September 1780, then served on  in the Channel fleet.

On Cook's third voyage, furs obtained in present-day British Columbia and Alaska sold for good prices when the expedition called at Macao. In 1785 Richard Cadman Etches and partners, including Portlock and George Dixon formed a partnership, commonly called the King George's Sound Company, to develop the fur trade. Dixon had also served on Resolution in the Pacific Ocean under Cook. In September 1785 Portlock and Dixon sailed from England. Portlock was in command of the larger vessel, the 320-ton (bm) , with a crew of 59. Dixon's was in command of the 200-ton (bm) , with a crew of 33. Dixon and Portlock sailed together for most of their three-year voyage. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean, reaching the Falkland Islands in January 1786, and transited Cape Horn to enter the Pacific Ocean. They reached the Hawaiian islands on 24 May and anchored in Kealakekua Bay (where Cook had been killed in 1779), but did not go ashore. They took on fresh food at other Hawaiian islands and proceeded on to what is now Alaska. After two years of plying the waters, Portlock and Dixon departed North America, reaching Macao in November 1788.

On their return Portlock and Dixon published an account of the voyage, based in part on letters written by William Beresford, the trader on the expedition.

Returning to the Royal Navy in 1791, Portlock was appointed to command the brig , which accompanied Bligh on his second voyage to transport breadfruit plants from Tahiti to the West Indies. Following his return to England in 1793, Portlock was promoted to commander and later commanded the sloop . In 1799 he was promoted to captain, and served as a Sea Fencibles commander at Poole in 1803, and at Dartmouth from 1805 to 1807. He died on 12 September 1817 in Greenwich Hospital.

His son, Major-General Joseph Ellison Portlock, was a British geologist and soldier.

Portlock Harbor, a bay on the west coast of Alaska's Chichagof Island, was named by Portlock in 1789, following a visit there in August 1787. Portlock, a cannery settlement active in the early and middle 20th century, and Portlock Glacier, both on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, were named in his honor.

 HMS Lutine — while commanding Arrow, Portlock was involved in the wreck and attempted salvage of Lutine, which sank on 9 October 1799 carrying a large cargo of gold. The Lutine Bell, which was salvaged, was in the past rung when ships were reported sunk at Lloyd's of London.

New TVS Ntorq 125 Scooter Launched in India
February 5, 2018 by Joshua Varghese 1 Comment
After teasing us with an image towards the end of last month, TVS have launched the new Ntorq 125, their latest addition to the Indian scooter market.
The new scooter is a 125-cc machine and is priced at Rs 58,750 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
At first glance, the Ntorq 125 projects a sporty, even futuristic, silhouette but it offers far more than what the average scooter-rider would need. The Ntorq's highlight is a fully-digital instrument console that supports Bluetooth connectivity and pairing with the user's phone. By offering this unique feature, TVS have become the first manufacturer in India to offer Bluetooth connectivity in a small scooter. Users can pair their phone to the scooter and receive incoming call and text alerts in addition to useful features such as navigation assist, auto-clock sync, and a helmet icon. Furthermore, a specialised app also offers the convenience of auto-reply SMS, a do-not-disturb mode, vehicle's parked location, and a trip report. Watch out for the first ride review to know how practical these features are in a real-life scenario. The engine kill switch is also a feature that is uncommon on small scooters.
Powering the scooter is an air-cooled, three-valve, 124.79-cc single-cylinder engine that produces a peak 9.4 PS at 7,500 rpm and 10.5 Nm at 5,500 rpm. TVS are claiming a top speed of 95 km/h. Currently, they only intend to sell the disc-brake variant of the scooter.
On paper, the Ntorq 125 looks like it could blow the recently-launched Honda Grazia out of the water. A quick comparison shows that the Ntorq 125 is among the most powerful scooters in its segment. However, its Achilles heel could be its weight. It weighs 116 kg, making it heavier than most of its competition. We can't wait to see how it performs on the road.

[Disclaimer] 04/02/12. — As ironically noted by JRB (in French), tweaking GREP to loop character styles is fun but utterly useless since nested styles achieve the same result much more simply! (See Comments section.) Nevertheless, I decided to leave this article online for posterity!
Say you have a set of various InDesign character styles that you want to apply to your text on a cyclic basis. A typical goal is to get alternating character colors, anyway the trick below can be used for any formatting provided that you can control the corresponding attributes through character styles.
Well, how to automate such style cycle? Of course a script could easily do the job—as illustrated in this InDesignSecrets Forum's post—but then we don't get dynamic update so we are forced to restart the script whenever the text changes.

Bivalve Brews: A Beer Made With Whole Oysters
By Necee Regis	on January 9, 2015
Necee Regis
A stout made from the entire oyster, including shell, meat and liquor.
McMurray's recent project, barely one year old, is Scrimshaw Oyster Stout, a full-bodied dry Irish stout made in collaboration with Barley Days Brewery in Prince Edward County, Ontario. What makes this brew extra-noteworthy is it's made with the entire bivalve, including shell, meat and liquor.
"In the 1800's they would pitch whole oysters in a brew. So why not try it?" says McMurray.
Scrimshaw uses only farmer George Dowdle's Green Gables Malpeque oysters in its stout. The family-run seafood company is located on Green Gables Road, near where famed author Lucy Maud Montgomery was born. The farm produces single bed oysters that are, according to McMurray, a "perfect blend of sweet and salt."
"Single bed oysters are grown from seed to finish in the same spot, in this case a five-acre area in New London Bay. The lease has four spring water wells bubbling up under the inter-tidal zone. You can still walk through water when the tide is out," says McMurray.
Nothing is wasted in the process. The brewer, who operates an organic farm in the area, saves the shells and meat when the brew is filtered.
The harvest travels from Prince Edward Island to the brewery, where the whole oyster is thrown into a secondary boil. McMurray worked with Barley Days Brewery to get the best balance of flavors. After initial experiments, they reduced malt and chocolate notes and increased the number of oysters from 1,000 to 1,500 per 2,000-liter batch.
"The oysters, fresh, 24 hours out of the water, go into the kettle – boom! – shell and everything," says McMurray.
Nothing is wasted in the process. The brewer, who operates an organic farm in the area, saves the shells and meat when the brew is filtered. The shells go to a chicken farm; the barley, malt and oyster meat to a pig farm. (According to McMurray, Prince Edward County is "a hot and heavy place for vertical integration. Food goes from farm to table. Farmers and chefs work together.")
After resting in tanks for two weeks, the beer goes into bottles, kegs and casks. The finished product is a dark, thick stout with a light mineral clean sweetness up front with roasted chocolate and coffee notes underneath.
"Our first batch sold out to 20 beer halls," says McMurray. "It didn't even make it to some of the oyster bars in town, like Rodney's and Oyster Boy."
As of November, it is now easier to find and purchase Scrimshaw Oyster Stout. Approved by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), the beer has just hit liquor stores in Ontario, bottled and labeled in six-packs. McMurray is hoping to place bottles in oyster bars other than his own, and to ship to other parts of the continent.
"The next issue is shipping it across borders," says McMurray, who plans to tackle the issue in the new year.
Until then, you can sample the stout at various pubs and restaurants in Toronto, Ottawa, Prince Edward County, and other locations, or pick up a six-pack at LCBO stores.
McMurray seemed surprised the stout's popularity has jumped from the world of oyster geeks to be a hit among craft beer aficionados, a group he refers to as "beer nuts."
"The beer nuts thought it was good! It's not only the whacked out oyster shuckers who want it," he says.
Nuts, whacked out, or simply curious, make sure to sample your stout with a side of something tasty, preferably a half-dozen freshly shucked oysters.

Holiday Border Traffic
November 27, 2006 at 7:55 pm · Filed under borders, life, photo, tijuana
Leaving the Tijuana airport as Sunday became Monday, Rosario and I stood in the cold air, waiting for the taxi. After a delayed return flight from Guanajuato, we prepared ourselves for what border traffic we might encounter. On a typical Sunday night at this hour, you can expect to cross in an hour or less. But this was the Sunday end to Thanksgiving weekend. And anytime there's a U.S. holiday, border traffic is exponential.
The taxi drops us at Rosario's sister's home, where the trusty Nissan Frontier waits. We transfer luggage to the truck and head like zombies for the Otay crossing. When we arrive at 1:30 a.m., there are only two short, thin lines. "Mira, it's not so bad," I say to a reclined Rosario. I undo my seatbelt and make myself comfortable for what should take 30 to 40 minutes. At this hour, the customs agents typically work slower than normal, but after 45 minutes and only advancing 10 cars, I start having my doubts. Cars continue to gather in other rows, to the point that I no longer have an exit option. After asking a passing window washer, and seeing cars turn and head back, my half-conscious mind realizes the lanes are closed. No one is getting through.
I see a brief opening between cars and shove my way into the outside lane, making an overdue escape. Too tired to be outwardly angry, I take my grumpiness to San Ysidro to give it another shot. Otay is supposed to be open 24 hours, but because it's a secondary entry point, it can be less consistent. We arrive at San Ysidro to much longer lines full of sleeping cars, lights and engines off. "Let's just go to a hotel to sleep," Rosario offers. But I'm not in the mood. I want to sleep in my bed tonight even if it's just for a few hours. "Let's just sleep in the SENTRI lane. It opens in a couple hours," I decide.
It's now 3 a.m. as we pull alongside one other car already waiting in the lane. I put it in park, turn off the engine, and pull out the laptop to play solitaire. I hit a second wind, now unable to sleep. After a half-hour losing repeatedly at the Vegas-style three-card game, I take out the camera.
At 4 a.m., the lane opens and we cross the line. The final leg of the drowsy marathon came to a close another half-hour later, and sleep came soon thereafter. As a privileged member of the SENTRI program, my heart goes out to all of my compas who were already beginning their workweek as I recoup a few hours sleep under the high thread-count sheets and synthetic down comforter of my king-sized bed.
Aaryn B. wrote @ November 27th, 2006 at 8:37 pm
That sucks. I would have definitely gone to a hotel.
On the bright side, at least you weren't sitting on the 405, in stopped traffic for NO APPARENT REASON.
Does that make you feel any better?
cindylu wrote @ November 27th, 2006 at 9:59 pm
I would have been itching to get home at that point and would have freaked out to find out that the line at Otay was closed.
The pictures of San Ysidro make me think of the last time I was there when I walked over the bridge (for the first time!) with Oso, you, Rosario and your friends. That was a fun trip, but the ending was weird and now every time I think about what happened after I crossed back into the US side, I get really upset (not at Oso, of course).
Nathan wrote @ November 28th, 2006 at 11:19 am
Aaryn,
it is nice to know other people are suffering traffic woes. But, somehow it feels creepier to wait in line just to come back to the U.S. of A… like all those people who camp out overnight to buy the latest video game console.
Cindylu,
That was a good trip. We should do it again. I never heard about what happened afterward… you illuded to a hangover in your post, but hopefully it won't stop you from another trip.

Totally sucks. Something similar happened to me once in Texas. But what's this about Guanajuato? Where are the picks? Where are the stories? And what happened after Cindylu and I crossed the border? So much mystery.

Oso,
Yeah, Cuba wasn't going to work out for such a quick trip, but Guanajuato was the perfect fit. More stories to come, of course. All in good time…

Yeah, Leahpeah interviewed me… Since it's the first video interview for her project, I assume it may take some time to edit and put together. I'll definitely be posting about it when it's online.


The author of article makes a start from the thesis that "Wittgenstein's perspective" is considered today as the most successful strategy of the thinking offering quite developed version of the immanent justification of the practices (conditionally speaking, strategy of "the immanent frame"). The task of article consists in offering possible arguments against such rational strategy as one of modern forms of a practical and philosophical immanentism. At first, in the context of Wittgenstein's understanding of practice, it is extremely difficult to distinguish the regular behavior of participants of concrete language-game from the imitation of this regular behavior (for example, from "behavior" of the computer which possesses a body similar to a human body and which has with us gallant conversation). Secondly, the behavior coordinated with language statements is absolutely insufficient condition for understanding of these statements. Thirdly, from Wittgenstein's position it is impossible to solve a problem of the practical normativity as if we share his approach, we have no accurate criteria for distinction of healthy and sick language-games (practice). The concept of implicit rules to which we follow spontaneously, being guided by the settled standards and behavior schemes, doesn't consider that circumstance, what even implicit rules assume certain procedures of their justification. At last, an immanent justification offered by Wittgenstein the practices (language-games and forms of life) in general does impossible so-called "strong evaluations" (distinction between good and evil, justice and injustice). And without this strong evaluations the practices can exist unless at the most primitive level.

MAZ-535 – ciągnik artyleryjski zaprojektowany do holowania systemów artyleryjskich o wadze do 10 ton (z GCVW do 75,4 ton). Pojazd posiada automatyczną przekładnię hydromechaniczną, niezależne zawieszenie wszystkich kół oraz wspomaganie kierownicy.

MAZ-535 miał klasyczny układ z napędem na wszystkie koła, centralną lokalizację komory silnika, kabinę 2-drzwiową z lukiem dachowym i tylną płaską metalowa obudowę z namiotem.

Wyposażony został w 39-litrowy, 12-cylindrowy silnik wysokoprężny D12A-375 V12 o mocy 375 koni mechanicznych i dwustopniowy system filtracji powietrza.

Pojazdy pierwszej generacji wyposażone były w kabinę z trzema pochylonymi szybami przednimi oraz trzecią lampę umieszczoną pośrodku panelu przedniego, która służyła do oświetlania drogi w podczerwieni podczas korzystania z noktowizora.
Późniejsze wersje miały dwie płaskie szyby przednie i zwiększoną wysokość komory silnika.
Najnowsze wersje posiadały tylko dwa reflektory.

Podczas pierwszych testów ujawniono brak wytrzymałości ramy. W 1957 roku powstała zmodernizowana wersja MAZ-535A ze wzmocnioną ramą, nadwoziem i zmodyfikowanym przedziałem silnika.

MAZ-535A produkowano w Mińsku do 1961 roku a następnie produkcję przeniesiono do KZKT gdzie kontynuowana była do roku 1964.

CINEPHILE: Let Us Now Praise Cormac McCarthy
by: PhawkerPosted on: April 1, 2009 April 1, 2009
BY EGINA MANACHOVA This week Cinephile pays homage to a living literary legend and the film adaptations his work have inspired. The mighty Cormac McCarthy is an eminent author and playwright in the Southern Gothic and Western tradition who is often compared to William Faulkner — which is a little like being compared to Picasso if you're a painter or Mozart if you're a composer. In short, McCarthy is an American master. While much of his work deals with the ethical development — or the lack thereof — between life and death, physical landscape plays as much of a role in his fiction as the characters themselves. The unforgiving landscapes in McCarthy's fiction — the severe beauty of desert panoramas, the endless, lonely vistas of the prairie — serve as a moral proving ground where good men die every day for no good reason while others get by on their cynical intuition or a cold, pragmatic brutality.
To date, there have only been two adaptations of his work: No Country For Old Men and All The Pretty Horses. While the former was made into an instant-classic by the Cohen Brothers, the latter can be charitably described as 'not great, but not terrible.' All the Pretty Horses is a dark coming of age tale about a boy setting out for Mexico to develop his own identity as a man. Removed from parents who are incapable of raising him due to their own demons, he finds himself falling in to trouble and love which are one in the same in his case. Directed by Billy Bob Thorton, and starring Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz, Pretty Horses gets into trouble when it deviates too far from the source material (i.e. the first installment of Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy) The film sticks to the narrative arc of the novel but somehow gets lost in translation along the way. The result is mushy romance, played by leads twenty years the senior of the characters in the book, that glosses over the harsh lessons learned by a boy who is teaching himself how to become a man that was so central to the novel. A novel, it should be pointed out, called "one of the greatest American novels of this or any time" by the Guardian.
The must-see big screen representation of Cormac McCarthy's work is the Cohen Brothers' No Country For Old Men, a harrowing meditation on the cruelly arbitrary nature of violence that instills the viewer with an ominous sense of dread that stays with you even long after the film is over. No Country.. follows the brutal exploits of Anton Chiguhr (a Beatles-haired Javier Bardem) a sociopathic angel of death as he wreaks havoc between the border of Texas and Mexico in 1980 in search of a missing suitcase full of drug money. Chiguhr operates on his own esoteric system of ethics that are beyond good and evil, and for that matter any sense of mercy. Nothing is sacred besides imparting his perverse justice on all equally. Bardem portrays Chiguhr as an unknowable cipher seemingly unburdened by emotion. His utter lack of facial expression is what won him the Oscar. As the film opens on the vast, arid plains of west Texas, Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) relates with some bewilderment the story of how he once sent a remorseless boy of fifteen to his death by electric chair. The film ends as it begins with the same sense of bafflement. Sheriff Bell tells of a dream where in his late father builds a fire across a river calling him towards the resting place, letting him know that the only country safe for old men is found in death.
The Coen Brothers' razorwire irony is the perfect complement to Cormac McCarthy's macabre humor, and all three build their art upon the centrality of place. Like McCarthy, the Cohens tend to make their sets a central character in the plot (SEE the heat-warped noir hotel of Barton Fink ), which is why they were able to render the vibe of early 80's border Texas so palpable. McCarthy spent a good portion of his time in the 80's writing in motel rooms throughout the South, barely getting by on grant money, which made for some great literature rich in local color and a few angry ex-wives. Safe to say that most if not all the colorful characters that people No Country… were based on real people met along the way during that mad period of motel wanderlust. As a recent transplant from The Lone Star State, I can assure you that west Texas is stranger than fiction, or at least as strange as. And much of it still looks like it does in the movie, especially along the border, where change comes slow or not at all and the only thing more certain than death or taxes is that a strip mall will show and take root sooner or later.
John Hillcoat has big shoes to fill when his screen adaption of McCarthy's The Road is released later this year, starring Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron and the always-awesome Robert Duvall. Judging by his CV, he seems like the right man for the job. His direction of The Proposition, the Australian Western written and scored by Nick Cave, was beyond rebuke. The Road is a post-apocalyptic saga set in the near-future about a father and son's quest to survive after an unexplained (but presumably nuclear) disaster wipes out the majority of the Earth's population, leaving behind a few survivors to fend for themselves Lord Of The Flies-style. (McCarthy was reportedly inspired to write The Road after having a child late in life.) While the premise and the narrative is a distinct departure from McCarthy's hyper-realist regionalism, thematically it is of a piece with his back catalog of rugged south western tales: Limited resources in the control of a few people, land difficult if not impossible to cultivate and the confrontation of death all haunt the father and son as they hike the road to doom — which is to say, even though the Earth is destroyed and almost everyone is dead, not that much really changes. The novel was well received and became a bestseller almost instantly. When The Road won the Pulitzer and found its way into Oprah's book club, the media-shy McCarthy was pressed more-than-a-little unwillingly into a stiff and awkward interview — only the third he has given in 73 years — with the Queen herself.
As his third screen adaptation is about to be released a fourth, Blood Meridian, is in pre-production. Much is unknown about the film except that Todd Field will be directing it. The novel is a dense, violent allegory about a runaway known only as the "kid" and his entanglement with the Glanton Gang, a group of scalp hunters who massacre Indians across the Appalachian trail. A highly symbolic, richly-detailed epic, Blood Meridian is the kind of novel that could easily get away from all but the most skilled and visionary of directors. Some say it's un-filmable. Here's hoping Field is up to the task. And here's where we give the old man the last word. From Blood Meridan:
