The most difficult part of making a slipjoint is getting the geometries of the tang and spring to work in harmony. Many custom makers are designing their slipjoints so the backspring is flush with the back of the knife when it is opened, closed and at the half stop. The illustration below shows how the dimensions of the tang works in conjunction with the backspring. For illustration purposes, the dotted lines are for reference only. The distances from lines A, B and C to the center of the pivot must all be the same in order to obtain a flush backspring in all 3 positions.Dimension "A" should be approximately 10% longer than dimension "B". This is to keep the blade from extending beyond the end of the backspring when the blade is rotated.
So now you have to decide, which pattern knife will I make? Well, that's totally up to you. For purposes of this tutorial, we are going to make a Texas Toothpick. To get you started, I have made available a full size drawing in PDF.
If I am going to make more than one of any style knife, I make a pattern out of steel which I can use repeatedly. This pattern is a fully functioning slipjoint. You can use the drawing I have supplied either to make a pattern or just use it to make a knife. First thing I do is to trace the outline of my pattern onto steel that I have marked with red Dykem. For some reason, I like the red better than the blue. You can also use a sharpie to darken the steel for tracing.
Cut the blade and spring out as close as you can to the line. Drill your pivot hole in the blade and the center hole in the backspring. Once the parts are cut out, you can profile them just to the line. You want to make sure you leave a bit on there for making the small adjustments. At this point, I grind the inside of the backspring right to the line and finish to 600 grit. The end of the backspring is left a little long and unfinished at this point. We will finish the end later on.
Using bushing in slipjoint is a personal preference. Slipjoint knives have been made for decades without them. I like to use them for two reasons. Firstly, I think they add a bit of smoothness to the action. Secondly, the make peening the pivot pin a bit easier. When you use bushings, the final goal is to have the blade rotate around the bushing. The bushing does not rotate around the pivot pin.
. They are 3/16 outside, 3/32 inside and 1/8 thick. Please measure these bushings as they are not made with very close tolerances.
Drill and ream out your pivot hole to accept the 3/16 bushing. I start with a #14 Drill (.182) and ream to size. I then use a barrel lap and polish the inside of the pivot with Clover 1000 grit polishing compound.
The tool shown below is simply a piece of 3/16ths rod threaded with a 1-72 screw. This allows me to chuck the bushing in the drill press and polish the outside to 1500 grit.
In order to have the blade rotate on the bushing and not the pivot, the bushing needs to be thicker than the blade. I try to hone the bushing so it is .001 thicker than the blade. When peening the pivot pin, the liners will be resting against the bushing and not the blade which will allow for a smooth action. The tool below is a block of hardened 01 Tool Steel with a 3/16ths hole. This is used to hone the bushing to the exact needed thickness while keeping it square.
Nice job Bill. I look forward to seeing the knife completed.
I set my spring by manually bending it prior to heat treat.
I'll bend the spring about the same distance as the thickness of the spring. Seems to work fine for me.
Very cool Bill! I'll try a slipjoint one of these days, and when I do, you can bet I'll be reviewing this one. Can't wait to see it finished!
Here is the critical part of making a slipjoint. Getting all the parts to fit together. For this part, I use a rise and fall indicator as shown below. This improves the accuracy of the fit and will allow you to make more accurate adjustment. I made this rise and fall indicator from aluminum plate. The purpose of the rise and fall indicator is to measure the position of the backspring as the blade is rotated from the open to the half stop to the closed positions. Ideally, you want each of these positions to be exactly the same. You can also perform this step by mounting the blade and spring on a piece of wood and drawing a line on the outside of the spring. The following illustration show the various parts of the tang.
There are three dimensions that you have to fit in this step. The tang bottom, the back square and the half stop. The order that I fit them is first the tang bottom, then the back square and lastly the half stop. The first step in this process is to grind the tang bottom to fit the blade to the backspring. The blade in the closed position should sit within the profile of the knife. You need to make sure there is space between the blade and spring. You do not want the blade to close and snap against the inside of the spring. Grind the "Kick" to lower the blade into the correct position. Keep in mind that you need to leave room for the finish. At this point, I finish the tang bottom to 600 Grit. Once the blade is in the desired position, set your indicator to "0".
The next step is to fit the run up so the dial indicator is at "0" to match the tang bottom. As you can see below, I need to grind off approximately .015 to bring the indicator to "0". Remember, keep in mind that you need to leave a bit of room the finish.
The back square has been ground and finished to 600 grit to the point where the indicator is now at "0". It may look like it's a few thousandth's off but it's just the angle of the photo.
Final step is to grind and finish the half stop to once again bring the indicator to "0". Once again, due to the angle of the photo, it looks like it's a few thousandth's off.
At this point, you should be able to rotate your blade into any of the three positions and have the indicator show "0"
Now that you have the blade and spring fit together, it's time to make the liners. For the liners, I am using .040 410 Stainless. Trace your pattern on the liner material and cut the basic shape on the bandsaw.
Until I have all the holes drilled in the liners, I superglue them together to make sure the holes are lined up perfectly.
After the liners are glued securely together, I mark the pivot hole with a punch, drill and ream to size. To help in locating all the holes in the liners, some people use a block of wood to mount everything to make it easier to work with. I bought some aluminum bar from a scrap dealer and use that instead of wood.
Drill a hole the same size as your pivot pin in the aluminum or wood block and mount the liners and blade to it. At this point, there is only one hole for the pivot drilled into the liners. Lay your spring into the correct position and clamp into place. Using a transfer punch, mark the liner for the springs center hole. Drill and ream the hole to size.
Now you have the liners, blade and spring mounted to your block. Once again, position the spring against the blade and drill the back hole on your spring. I usually drill through the spring, liners and the block all at once.
Now you have all your holes drilled and the entire assembly mounted to the block with pins.
Milling a relief area in the liners allows the blade to rotate without scraping the sides of the liners and leaving ugly scratches on the blade tang. The goal here is to mill out a area that will act as a washer, and an area the same size as the tang. You want the milled area to start right at the end of the spring. Mount your liner and spring on your block and put a pin in the center hole of the spring. Position your spring on the liner where it will be for the final assembly. Trace around the spring as shown below.
Now draw a straight line from the top of the spring down to the bottom of the liner. All of the area in the front of this line (hash marks) will be relieved.
Now pin your blade to the block and liner. Rotate your blade to the position it will be in when fully closed. Make a small mark just in front of the end of the"Kick"
Draw a line from the small mark you just made down to the bottom of the liner.
Draw two symmetrical lines around the pivot area to mark out an area that will act as a washer. The area with hash marks will all be relieved.
The reliefs are cut into the liners with a mill. In my case, a mini-mill. I made a simple fixture to hold both liners so they can be milled at the same time. I found this method to be easier and faster with less setup. I don't think that the relief either being round or square around the pivot makes much of a difference. Tony Bose makes a round relief, Gene Shadley uses a square relief. I am in no position to argue the point with either of those guys.
The reliefs are cut with the mill to the lines scribed on the liners. I cut the reliefs around .010. Once the liners are relief cut, sand off all the burrs using your favorite sandpaper mounted on a flat surface such as a piece of glass or a surface plate.
This is a different knife than the WIP knife but it's all the same. The products I use are Stay Brite Solder and Stay Clean paste flux.
Make sure the surfaces you are going to be soldering are clean and scruffed up a bit to help the solder adhere. You can see here that I added a pencil line where I do not want the solder to stick. Apply a thin coat of paste flux to the liner.
I take a small coil of solder and place it on the liner. you will see a small piece of pin stock in this photo. It's 1/8 nickel silver and about 6 inches long. More on the pin stock further on down.
Here is where most people have problems. Applying heat. If you overheat the liner and burn the flux, it will NOT STICK.Place the liner with the coil of solder over the flame. Once the flux begins to bubble, remove it from the heat. The solder will not melt at this point. The tricky part is applying the heat in small increments. Put the liner into the flame for a second or two and remove it again. You may have to do this a few times to get the solder to melt. You must bring the heat up slowly just to the melting point or you will burn it and have to start over again.
This is what you will end up with.
While the solder is fluid, take the piece of pin stock (in the 3rd photo) and move the pool of solder around until it covers the entire area. Once the area is fully covered with solder, you can either use the pin stock to wipe away the excess or just flick the solder off the liner with a quick wrist motion. You will end up with a liner looking something like this.
Now that you have the liner tinned, repeat all the steps for the bolster.
Once everything has cooled, it's time to put them together. I use the pivot pin to help align the parts to be joined. Line the bolster into it's correct position on the liner and clamp it down with 2 clamps. Yes...2 Clamps! You want pressure on both sides of the bolster/liner. I make kind of a tripod with another clamp to make this part easier to do. Apply heat SLOWLY to the bolster side only until the solder becomes fluid. Remove heat immediately.
This is what you have. You can see that the solder flowed out from between the liner and bolster. This is a good thing.
Now you can grind and shape your bolsters and say........Look Ma! No seams!!
Once the bolsters are soldered and you are ready to work on the handles, you need to make sure there is no left over solder where the bolster meets the handle material. I have taken a small piece of lathe tooling, sharpened it and stuck it into a file handle. Use the sharpened edge to scrape away ant residual solder. It's comes off quite easily.
For my handle material, I have selected (actually my customer selected) a nice set of blue mammoth ivory scales.
To prepare for pinning the scales, mark off and drill your holes for the pins.
I will cut the scales a bit long before the actual fitting. The back of the scales are sanded down to the correct thickness before final fitting. When sanding mammoth ivory, you must not get it too hot or it will start to move on you. I will usually grind a bit and then press them against an aluminum plate to kind of cool them off. Once the proper thickness has been achieved, I sand the scales to length. A little trick I use for final fitting is to put the end of the scale against the grinder and move the belt by hand. This way, you are able to take of minimal amount of material. If you take off too much, you can never put it back.
Final fitting with holes drilled and ready for pins. In this case, I will glue the scales along with the pins to the liners. I don't know about you but I get a bit edgy when I have to peen pins when using ivory or pearls. The pins will eventually be ground flush with the handle material.
The handles have been roughed out on the grinder.
The blade and spring have been heat treated and the blade has been hollow ground with a 10" wheel. Here I am adding the nail nick with a grinding stone mounted in my mini mill. The angle on the grinding wheel was cut using an adjustable angle wheel dresser.
Ready for assembly. The handles have all been finished on the slack belt to this point.
The pins I use are 416SS to blend in with the bolsters once finished. The holes in the bolsters have been reamed with a 2degree reamer held in a pin vice. This will allow for the expansion of the pin when peened. The pins are spun on my drill press and polished with sandpaper to get a nice clean finish. They are then cut so that approximately 3/64ths are sticking out on each side. The ends have a slight chamfer to them as well. The trick here is to make sure everything is clean so the pin blends perfectly with the bolsters after peening. To peen the pins, I use a 2oz. ball pein hammer with both faces highly polished.
The knife is now assembled. Everything is cleaned up on the slack belt ready for final finish. For this knife, the mammoth has been highly polished and the bolsters have a 600 grit finish.
All done and ready for customer pick up!!
What I am referring to is chucking the pins up in the drill press before installing them on the knife. This allows me to spin them at high speed and clean them up with sandpaper. It removes all the grime, dirt etc so I have a nice clean pin. This lessens the chance that the pin will show when peened. If the pins are not cleaned, you could end up with a small ring of dirt around the pin.
What an excellent tutorial! I've wanted to make a slipjoint for a long time but it seemed too difficult to get the geometry correct. You explained it very well.
I know this is an old thread but I thought it was great. Tutorials like this are invaluable to me. Thanks Bill.
So well explained - Thanks for a GREAT WIP!
sorry to bother you, i am not able to view images anymore on this forum anymore. I have registered, I'm not sure if there is any additional action I need to do to be able to view? I am tryingto view Bill Vinings tutorial on Slip joint design?
Lloyd - nobody can see certain pictures any longer. Any if the pictures that were hosted by photobucket may be gone forever because the original poster had chosen not to pay the new monthly fee. As a suggestion- google bill vining and go to his website.
Does anyone have this saved with pics anywhere?????? It is such a shame that Photobucket destroyed so many wonderful WIPs in the blink of an eye!! Masters at the craft, who were good enough to share their knowledge, seems to have been lost forever!!

Michael Bloomberg says forget college, become a plumber
https://www.ocalapost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Billionaire-Michael-Bloomberg-recommends-being-a-plumber-Nov-11-2014.mp4
New York — Former New York City Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg has some advice for high school seniors: forget college, become a plumber instead.
"Today if your kid wants to go to college or become a plumber, you've got to think long and hard," said Bloomberg Monday at the annual meeting of Wall Street trade group SIFMA.
"If he's not going to go to a great school and he's not super smart academically, but is smart in terms of dealing with people and that sort of thing, being a plumber is a great job because you have pricing power, you have an enormous skill set," he said.
The founder of financial data and news services company Bloomberg L.P. even went as far as to say that students considering Harvard should do the math.
You could pay $50,000 to $60,000 a year to Harvard or you could make that much as an apprentice plumber, he explained.
Is college worth it? Bloomberg — who attended Johns Hopkins University and Harvard Business School — knows what it takes to build a business, and he sees a lot of opportunity for middle class Americans entering the service trades.
He mentioned the plumber father of one of his employees to help make the case.
"He's got six plumbers working for him, he's a scratch golfer, he goes around playing golf courses I only dream about," quipped Bloomberg, drawing chuckles from the audience. "He's built a business, he's had a chance to do that. He never went to college."
The former mayor claimed that such careers are more important now than ever as technology has made it so middle class professions don't pay like they used to. He believes that's why the latest labor statistics show that wages remain stagnant even as employment has gone up.
"In law firms now you hit a button and get research. It used to be law clerks looking through books," said Bloomberg.
Is the American dream still alive? His remarks were echoed at the SIFMA event by David Rubenstein, co-founder and CEO of private equity behemoth The Carlyle Group. He pointed out that neither of his parents graduated from high school and his father worked at the post office making $7,000 a year. Still, he was a big believer in the American dream.
"Today many people in our society do not believe any longer that if you work hard, you go to school, you get a scholarship and you can get to the top," Rubeinstein said. "The idea that social mobility is gone, that is a big problem and a residue of the great recession."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? A new biography portrays Steve Jobs as a skeptic all his life ? giving up religion because he was troubled by starving children, calling executives who took over Apple "corrupt" and delaying cancer surgery in favor of cleansings and herbal medicine.
"Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson, to be published Monday, also says Jobs came up with the company's name while he was on a diet of fruits and vegetables, and as a teenager perfected staring at people without blinking.
The Associated Press purchased a copy of the book Thursday.
The book delves into Jobs' decision to delay surgery for nine months after learning in October 2003 that he had a neuroendocrine tumor ? a relatively rare type of pancreatic cancer that normally grows more slowly and is therefore more treatable.
Instead, he tried a vegan diet, acupuncture, herbal remedies and other treatments he found online, and even consulted a psychic. He went to a clinic that advised juice fasts, bowel cleansings and other unproved approaches before having surgery in 2004.
The book also provides insight into the unraveling of Jobs' relationship with Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google and an Apple board member from 2006 to 2009. Schmidt had quit Apple's board as Google and Apple went head-to-head in smartphones, Apple with its iPhone and Google with its Android software.
The book is clearly designed to evoke the Apple style. Its cover features the title and author's name starkly printed in black and gray type against a white background, along with a black-and-white photo of Jobs, thumb and forefinger to his chin.
The biography, for which Jobs granted more than three dozen interviews, is also a look into the thoughts of a man who was famously secret, guarding details of his life as he did Apple's products, and generating plenty of psychoanalysis from a distance.
Jobs resigned as Apple's CEO on Aug. 24, six weeks before he died.
Doctors said Thursday that it was not clear whether the delayed treatment made a difference in Jobs' chances for survival.
"People live with these cancers for far longer than nine months before they're even diagnosed," so it's not known how quickly one can prove fatal, said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society.
Dr. Michael Pishvaian, a pancreatic cancer expert at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, said people often are in denial after a cancer diagnosis, and some take a long time to accept recommended treatments.
"We've had many patients who have had bad outcomes when they have delayed treatment. Nine months is certainly a significant period of time to delay," he said.
Jobs calls the crop of executives brought in to run Apple after his ouster in 1985 "corrupt people" with "corrupt values" who cared only about making money. Jobs himself is described as caring far more about product than profit.
The book says that, while some Apple board members were happy that Hewlett-Packard gave up trying to compete with Apple's iPad, Jobs did not think it was cause for celebration.
Advance sales of the book have topped best-seller lists. Much of the biography adds to what was already known, or speculated, about Jobs. While Isaacson is not the first to tell Jobs' story, he had unprecedented access. Their last interview was weeks before Jobs died.
Jobs reveals in the book that he didn't want to go to college, and the only school he applied to was Reed, a costly private college in Portland, Ore. Once accepted, his parents tried to talk him out of attending Reed, but he told them he wouldn't go to college if they didn't let him go there. Jobs wound up attending but dropped out after less than a year and never went back.
Jobs' eye for simple, clean design was evident early. The case of the Apple II computer had originally included a Plexiglas cover, metal straps and a roll-top door. Jobs, though, wanted something elegant that would make Apple stand out.
He told Isaacson he was struck by Cuisinart food processors while browsing at a department store and decided he wanted a case made of molded plastic.
Jobs was never a typical CEO. Apple's first president, Mike Scott, was hired mainly to manage Jobs, then 22. One of his first projects, according to the book, was getting Jobs to bathe more often. It didn't work.
He also revealed that the Beatles were one of his favorite bands, and one of his wishes was to get the band on iTunes, Apple's revolutionary online music store, before he died. The Beatles' music went on sale on iTunes in late 2010.
The book was originally called "iSteve" and scheduled to come out in March. The release date was moved up to November, then, after Jobs' death, to Monday. It is published by Simon & Schuster and will sell for $35.
Isaacson will appear Sunday on "60 Minutes." CBS News, which airs the program, released excerpts of the book Thursday.
Ortutay reported from New York. AP Technology Writer Peter Svensson contributed to this story from New York. AP Chief Medical Writer Marilynn Marchione in Milwaukee also contributed to this report.

Thompson scores 34, Warriors beat Celtics in Finals rematch
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)Six months later, the Splash Brothers were still feeling it from all over the court against the Celtics and delivered one of their team's signature wins of the season so far.
Klay Thompson scored 34 points, Stephen Curry added 32 with six 3-pointers and Golden State beat Boston 123-107 on Saturday night in a rematch of this year's NBA Finals won by the Warriors in six games.
"We gutted it out," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "Steph and Klay obviously had it rolling so we were making shots."
Jordan Poole had 20 points starting in place of injured Andrew Wiggins despite shooting 1 for 9 from long range.
Thompson scored 12 of his points in the opening quarter shooting 5 of 9 and had 24 by halftime. Curry shot 12 for 21 and had seven assists and six rebounds playing 37 minutes.
The Warriors were coming off a 124-123 loss at Utah on Wednesday night that Thompson called a "collapse."
"It's always nice to respond with a great performance and we did that tonight," Thompson said.
Jaylen Brown had 31 points and nine rebounds, Jayson Tatum scored 18 points and Malcolm Brogdon added 16 off the bench for Boston, which had won eight of nine and three straight and faced Golden State's stingy defense.
"They tested us," Celtics interim coach Joe Mazzulla said. "They forced us to work to make the right play."
Brown scored five straight midway through the fourth with his 3-pointer at the 6:37 mark pulling the Celtics to 105-97. Grant Williams was ejected with 1:52 left.
Poole found Draymond Green for a transition dunk the next time down for the Warriors.
Kevon Looney grabbed a season-high 15 rebounds as Golden State held a 53-39 advantage on the boards.
Tatum missed two free throws with 5:02 remaining then was called for goal-tending moments later on the other end and Curry connected from the top of the arc the next time down to make it 114-99.
"The crowd was excited. We were excited, just the feeling of going against the team the team that you just played in the finals, especially the way they've played this year, they've just been so good, so dominant," Kerr said. "I thought we needed a game like that. We've been a little bit stuck in the mud."
RUSSELL'S JERSEY RETIRED
The Warriors retired the No. 6 jersey of late Hall of Famer Bill Russell during a pregame ceremony before facing his former Celtics team. Russell wore the number in all 13 of his seasons with Boston from 1956-69.
Russell, who starred at the University of San Francisco, died July 31 at age 88.
"Just very proud of the legacy that Bill Russell left here in the Bay and across the NBA," Kerr said.
Celtics: The Celtics were limited to 17 assists. … F-C Al Horford is in the NBA's health and safety protocols and Mazzulla had no updates on Horford or C Robert Williams III (left knee surgery) other than to note Williams has had "no setbacks." … Boston fell to 10-4 on the road after a 125-98 whipping of the Suns on Wednesday for the third time Phoenix has been held below 100 points. … The Celtics lost for the first time vs. the Western Conference after a 7-0 start – and are 3-1 on the road against the West. Boston had won eight of the previous 12 on the Warriors' home floor.
Warriors: Poole reached 3,000 career points. … Wiggins missed his third straight game with tightness in his right thigh muscle. … The Warriors were just 8 of 23 from 3-point range in the first half and 13 for 39 overall. … Golden State committed three turnovers late in the second that helped Boston to a 7-0 spurt over the final 1:22 of the half that got the Celtics within 68-63 at the break.
Celtics: Visit the Clippers on Monday night to continue their second-longest road trip of the season that ends the next night against the Lakers.
Warriors: At Milwaukee on Tuesday night to begin a six-game road trip having lost the last two on the Bucks' home court.
"It's a huge challenge," Kerr said.

Dating sim games also known as dating simulation games are a subgenre of neoromance and are video games designed by Japanese companies. The genre of the game is also associated with a visual novel which is an anime-themed video game with some live action. Although the two might have separate themes, however, the visual content of both is quite similar. The goal of the game is to date another character and create a romantic relationship with that character.
Dating sim games are romantic simulation games in which the player will have to romance their character in the midst of multiple challenges such as a fixed time limit or overcoming obstacles created by the other characters. These games usually involve a meter bar that could represent your relationship status or the progress of the game. This meter bar is fueled based on the decisions that your character makes in the game.
The course of the game follows a gamed-based character that is surrounded by their possible love interests. In the entire game, the player who controls his/her role has to make his character set up an interesting chat with their would-be dates.
This game is progressed by selecting correct dialogues that shoot up your love meter bar. The length of the game is fixed based on weeks, months, or years.
At the end of the game, the player will either win the game or lose it, depending on whether he has been successful in dating the other character. These games may involve explicit sexual dating details although the content might vary from company to company producing the game.

Today the temperature is predicted to reach almost 50. For Wisconsin in February, that's a rare treat. Any Midwesterner knows that this isn't the real spring, just a preview of coming attractions, a teaser. But, it's a bright, sunny day — a good day for a walk, notice the birds, and think about the coming year, not just clean the road-crud out of the garage. There's a little smell of mud in the air, which makes me hope that the real spring is only about a month away, that soon we can peel off the layers, stretch, and open the windows.
I remember a passage from Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, where Pecola is walking home from school on a similar false-spring day. She and her friend have balanced their coats up on to their heads, so they're not really wearing them, but they don't have to carry them either. I remember many walks home from school, doing the same thing, enjoying the warm-ish breeze.
The main theme of The Bluest Eye, is the cultural ideal of beauty (blonde, blue-eyed, white) shown through Pecola's obsession with her Shirley Temple mug and her relationship with her distant mother and abusive father. Many girls felt (still feel?) the pain of not looking like the ideal. Although not as overt or racist, my red hair, green eyes, and freckles made my looks exceptional. As a child, all you want is to fit in and be accepted. Once an adult, I understood and came to prize my rare coloring, as I know Ms. Morrison came to value hers, too.


PRS Guitars has introduced the Archon guitar amplifier.
The new PRS Archon amplifier offers all of the above in a high-design 100/50-watt package (via a half-power switch). Greek for "ruler" or "lord," the Archon has already earned the endorsement of several top artists, including Dustie Waring (Between the Buried and Me), Fredrik Åkesson (Opeth), Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge and Creed), Emil Werstler (Chimaira) and Zach Myers (Shinedown).
The clean channel provides ample headroom with rich clear tones that retain clarity even at high volume and are an excellent platform for pedals. Utilizing a 'no flash or trash' approach, the Archon's control layout features volume and tone controls for each channel, a global depth control to add a thunderous low end, and a presence control to effect the high end chime. A footswitch controls effects loop bypass and channel selection.
"Finding the right amp can be a life-long journey. There always seems to be an imperfection in design covered up by excess features. For the multi-genre player, it is nearly impossible to find one amp for all styles until now. The Archon delivers the best clean and dirty channels I've ever heard in one amp. Finally, I get to just plug in and play," Emil Werstler, Chimaira.
The PRS Archon, officially announced in December, will be a featured product at the 2014 Winter NAMM show.

Research Paper on Gerrymandering in Texas
Gerrymandering is a term used to describe what happens after every census in the United States whereby some congressional districts are redrawn based on changes in the country's population. The last census stipulates that there should be one representative for about every 711, 000 people. Elected officials employ partisan political operatives to conduct the process that involves some complicated geography and math in many states; a process that is sometimes unfair. The state of Texas is in the midst of a long-lasting racial gerrymandering case to do with the legitimacy of its electoral maps. Civil rights groups and minority lawmakers claim that these maps restrict the voting power of Hispanics and African-Americans. In September 2017, the Supreme Court squashed a ruling by a lower court that ordered the state to redraw state house and congressional maps. This essay looks at gerrymandering in Texas, the various viewpoints of the parties who are for and against it, and a conclusion based on an analysis of the issue.
The above-mentioned case is just the latest episode of the years-long narrative of gerrymandering in Texas. Voting rights activists have for a long time accused the states Republicans of trying to undermine the rising political clout of African American and Hispanic voters. They do this by purposefully and unfairly stuffing them into districts or dividing them up in a way that they are outnumbered. Republican legislators make up about two-thirds of the Senate, State House, and Congressional seats. The cases started in 2011 after new congressional and state boundaries were mapped out by the Texas Legislature. The state was forced to re-map because it got an additional four seats in congress after the 2010 census that showed a significant increase in population. Most of this increment stemmed from a huge flooding of blacks and Latinos.
From 2000 up to 2010, the number of Hispanics living in Texas increased by almost 3 million. Non-Latino whites now make up less than 43% of the states population, with Houston being the most ethnically and racially diverse city in the country. The states officials had to delay primary races during the 2012 elections following a lawsuit filed by civil rights groups challenging the re-mapping. Since then, Texas has been using temporary court-ordered maps set up in 2013. In two rulings made earlier in 2017, a panel of federal judges did decided that these maps were a violation of federal laws. In March, the panel ruled that Texas lawmakers created three United States congressional districts with the intention of undermining the influence of Latino voters. The judges stated that legislators were hostile to minority districts and showed a willingness to engage in racism for partisan advantage. The following month, they found out that legislators re-mapped State House districts to purposefully weaken the power of minority voters in several counties across Texas.
Lawyers representing the plaintiffs argue that the maps plotted in 2013 should be revoked because they include parts of the 2011 maps found by the court to violate the Fourteenth Amendment or the Voting Rights Act. on the other hand, those representing the state say there is no proof that Texas lawmakers purposefully discriminated in racial terms.

Democrats go to court to gain top listing on Arizona ballots
December 9, 2019 Cronkite News
The Arizona Democratic Party has joined a suit filed in three states challenging the order in which candidates are listed on election ballots. In Arizona, state law dictates who's listed first. [Photo from Cronkite News video]
By Peter Gong and Kyla Wilcher
PHOENIX – Democrats allege the design of Arizona ballots puts their candidates at an unconstitutional disadvantage, according to a lawsuit filed last month against Arizona's Secretary of State.
The suit takes issue with ballots in partisan races that routinely list Republican candidates before Democrats, and it recommends rotating ballot order to ensure no candidate has an advantage.
Related story It's on: Democrats name Arizona a battleground, GOP says it's ready
Arizona law dictates that each county's ballot order be determined according to the votes cast for governor in that county in the most recent general election. Candidates from the party of the gubernatorial candidate with the most votes are listed first, followed by candidates from other parties. This applies to all partisan races, including for president, Congress and many state races.
Under the law, the ballot typically is led by a party that has been dominant in recent years in Arizona, said Dave Wells, a political science professor at Arizona State University.
"Republicans typically win most of the counties," Wells said. "That would mean that Republican candidates get privilege."
According to the lawsuit, filed Nov. 1 in U.S. District Court in Phoenix, Republican candidates will be listed before Democrats in 11 of 15 Arizona counties in the 2020 general election. This includes Maricopa County, where Gov. Doug Ducey outpolled his Democratic rival, David Garcia, by more than 200,000 votes in 2018.
Wells said ballot order may affect third-party voters even more than Democrats.
"Independent voters would be the most strongly impacted by the ballot order," he said. "They (voters) look at it, and they're going to see whoever's first on the ballot. And that's just the way our brain works."
The lawsuit – filed by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Democratic National Committee, Priorities USA in Arizona and two Arizona residents – claims a political phenomenon called "position bias" affords electoral benefits to candidates listed first. Similar suits were filed in Georgia, Texas and Minnesota.
The Democratic groups hope courts find Arizona's ballot order statute unconstitutional. The plaintiffs recommend alternating the order of candidate names based on precinct, ensuring each candidate is listed first on a proportional number of ballots. Arizona randomizes ballot order in primary elections to avoid preferential placement, but general elections are not randomized.
The lawsuit points out that ballot order is especially important in the 2020 general elections, where "Arizona is projected to have numerous highly competitive races," including Mark Kelly's bid to oust Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz.
Democratic lawsuits also target Texas and Georgia – also considered battleground states next November. And Minnesota voters filed suit Nov. 27 alongside the Democratic Senatorial and Congressional Campaign committees, claiming unfair bias in ballot order.
On Nov. 15, Florida Democrats won their ballot order lawsuit, and a court overturned the state's law allowing the party that holds the governor's office to list its candidates first on general election ballots. The lawsuit claimed this law favored the Republican Party, which has held Florida's governorship since 1999.
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., the chairwoman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said the victory in Florida will help states facing similar ballot problems.
"No candidate or party should benefit from an unfair advantage in our elections, and we will take every step available to correct these unconstitutional mandates," she said. "Voters should have faith that elections are fairly administered without bias, and that applies to the ballots they cast."
The Republican Party of Arizona issued a statement via communications director Zach Henry, dismissing the lawsuit.
"Rather than working to ratify the USMCA or lower prescription drug costs, Democrats are preoccupied with political trivia," Henry said, referring to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade. "The order on the ballot isn't the Democrats' problem – it's how out of touch they are with the issues Arizonans care about."
Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes said his office hasn't seen significant evidence of a problem with the ballot order.
"Specifically, as to which candidates get listed first, we rarely hear any of those complaints," Fontes said. "But we're always looking at ballot design improvements."
Regardless of the lawsuit's outcome, Arizona general election ballots are getting updated.
"The most notable change in the new ballot design is going to be the absence of the arrows," Fontes said. "They'll be replaced by ovals where you fill in your choices."

Lex Lemmon says:
These Democrats believe their very own electorate is so ignorant to not know for whom they are casting a vote? Who's on top? No, What's on top, Who is the candidate…
Ward only elections in Tucson is the best way to clean up this mess!
Hoi Polloi Boy says:
Do Ds do any other than whine about elections? Before and after they're held?
OH WAAAAAAA, the democraps have ruined the state in multiple locations and now they finally want to take the WHOLE state into the sewer. I think it would be better for ballots NOT TO HAVE party listed. That would make it better in that those who vote by party only would even up the field and require the candidate to actually get off his/her ass and go out and tell folks what their platform is. As it is now particularly in pima co, the d behind the name is what they vote for, not the best candidate. Just look at recent corrupt election in the county and city.

This a lovely site. I was camping their last summer and had a fantastic time. Fresh goats milk and ice cream plus cheese. A 15 minute walk to a couple of local pubs which both do excellent home cooked food. Can have camp fires which is great for kids and toasted marshmallows. Would highly recommend this site and PLEASE LET THEM BUILD A HOUSE HERE!!
place for yourselves, with comfort for the whole family. I've enjoyed visiting the farm, cuddle the tiny babygoats and watching the rare breed piglets wriggling in the mud, plus the lovable Mr. Pickles…. on distance mostly. And not to forget, I've enjoyed the milk, the cheese and the yoghurt so much! I'm moving on to Devon soon, after living 1 year in Somerset. I will visit the Farm again, when I return for weekend trips, staying in a home of a friend nearby. Good luck with all the things you do and plan, thank you for the good vibes on the land!

Home / Physiclo Blog / Interview with Daryl Homer, Rio 2016 Olympic Fencer
The introspective athlete: Q&A with Daryl Homer, Rio 2016 Olympic Fencer
Olympic silver medalist and Physiclo co-founder, Keeth Smart understands the importance of preparing for a competition. Keeth made it his mission to help many of the Rio athletes maximize their training by outfitting them with Physiclo's resistance technology.
We also sat down with several of the athletes including Rio 2016 Olympic fencer, Daryl Homer, to talk about resistance- a common theme in many athletes' lives both on and off the competition floor.
(Follow Daryl on Twitter and Instagram at @DarylDHomer)
Q&A with Daryl Homer, Rio 2016 Olympic Fencer
WATCH as Daryl competes in the Men's Individual Sabre competition at NBCOlympics.com
Q: What did you learn about yourself throughout this process of making it to the Olympics?
Homer: I spend a lot of time in my own head- making decisions, but also analyzing my decision-making process and questioning who I am as a person. I've learned that this approach is a GOOD THING. People will always say you're thinking too much, but what's wrong with that?
It's a life skill I've learned and honed exclusively through fencing. We take so many things at face value, and very rarely take the time to ask who we are, what we want to represent, what's valuable to us, and who we want to be. Those are things that will always be of the utmost importance to me.
Q: Who was a key mentor or coach that helped you in the early days? Why was their support so important for your success?
Homer: Keeth Smart, Olympic Silver Medalist and the co-founder of Physiclo has always been a huge mentor. When I was 14 years old, Keeth pulled me aside and told me how good I could be at fencing. That one conversation lit a huge fire under me and pushed me to work hard. I'll never forget that. I (make it a point to) repeat (those words of encouragement) to so many young athletes today when I see their potential.
*Our Co-Founder, Keeth Smart says, "I have known Daryl since he started fencing and his work ethic and tenacity is unbelievable. I'm very excited to watch him compete and I admire his dedication to getting to Rio."
Q: What was your "Ah-Ha" moment that changed the way you looked at fencing?
Homer: My 'Ah-Ha' moment was finishing third at the Cadet (Under 17) World championships in 2006. It was my first big international result and was the pivotal moment in beginning to build the credentials I have now.
Q: What was the first sport you ever practiced?
Homer: The first sport I've ever practiced was baseball. Prior to fencing, I played two seasons of little league and tried my hand at track and field. Eventually, I dropped baseball at 11 years old because my games in the North Bronx conflicted with my fencing practices in downtown Chelsea.
Q: Why did you stay with fencing or how did you transition into it?
Homer: I stuck with fencing because I found it empowering. When we put on the mask and we're 1-on-1, I felt liberated. It became a way for me to channel immense emotions, focus, and to use my feelings constructively.
Q: Did you experience any kind of resistance that you thought would hinder your progression? On an emotional, physical or personal level?
Homer: I've always been a very emotional person. In my youth, I believe that it held me back. If I felt that I was about to lose a match, I would explode emotionally and act irrationally. What I've come to realize is, that was just my fear of failure. It's definitely an anxiety I still have but I've become better at coping with it.


The Scottish Human Rights Commission is calling on the Scottish Government to put human rights, and the principles of dignity and respect, at the heart of the new social security system to be introduced as part of Scotland's most recently devolved responsibilities.
reducing inequalities in areas such as housing, health or education.
social security is a human right protected by multiple international treaties.
people with experience of the system must be involved in the design, implementation and monitoring of Scotland's new social security system – a basic principle of human rights.
In its response, the Commission calls for human rights to be fully recognised through the new social security system, and highlights ways in which current government proposals risk failing to deliver a service that protects and respects people's dignity in their day to day lives.
"Social security is a fundamental human right protected by a solid body of international legal standards to which we as a country have signed up. As the Scottish Government embarks on redesigning a social security system based on dignity and respect, it has a perfect opportunity to implement this right in law, policy and practice, and make a difference where it really matters - in people's day-to -day lives. This would fit well with the First Minister's commitment to doing more to realise economic, social and cultural rights in Scotland.
"Now is the time to get this right. Scotland has the opportunity to establish a transformative, world-leading system of social security with legal protection for people's rights and a culture of respect for people's dignity at its heart.
The Scottish Human Rights Commission is Scotland's National Human Rights Institution with a statutory mandate to promote and protect human rights for everyone in Scotland.
The Commission is an internationally recognised Human Rights Institution which holds the highest status within the UN system.
The right to social security is protected in a range of international human rights treaties including: Article 9 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), Article 12 of the European Social Charter, Article 34 of the EU, Charter of Fundamental Rights, the International Labour Organisation Convention No. 102 and General Comment 19 of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
The Commission's response to the Scottish Government's consultation on A New Future for Social Security is published on its website.

We live in a rapidly evolving digital world, where more information is being stored within the virtual vaults of computers than ever before. While the advancement of technology has supported an abundance of growth and capability, it has also placed a greater risk on data security and digital infrastructure. Cybersecurity has quickly become a forefront of concern for small business owners, nonprofits and individuals alike. GrantWatch has taken notice to this rise, with 183 current listings of technology grants.
MIT's cross-disciplinary Internet Policy Research Initiative (IPRI) announced that it has awarded $1.5 million to a select group of principal investigators for early-stage Internet policy and cybersecurity research projects.
"Each project is aimed to support innovative research in their respective fields and result in new insights that can guide policy makers in making wise choices on pressing Internet policy challenges," says IPRI founding director Daniel Weitzner, who is also a principal research scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL).

Last night's college championship game between Alabama and Clemson was one of the best football games I've ever seen. There was history on the line, juicy coaching backstories, spectacular big plays and a thrilling come from behind win on the last play of the game. I think even those with little interest in football would have enjoyed it.
I bring this up because I think Evergreen's Annual Business Meeting this Sunday night will be strikingly similar.
Impressive Tackling: One of the things I'm most excited about is our plan to have Pastor Matt and Pastor Ryan go head to head in live tackling drills. It'll be Matt's size against Ryan's quickness in contest for the ages. We'll also be tackling a handful of issues critical to accomplishing our mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ.
Four Quarters of Action: Okay, I admit most of the 'action' will be happening with the kids in childcare rooms. But there really are four quarters for our meeting.
1. Pastoral Vision: The leading edge of each pastor's plan of attack and how we should pray.
2. Leadership Confirmation: Leadership Team members, Children's Ministry Director and three missionaries.
3. Financial Review: 2016 financials, 2017 budget and update on EBC loan reduction strategy.
4. Joyful Celebration: We are going to celebrate God's exciting work in our midst!
History on the Line: Pastors are prone to exaggeration, and I am no exception. But I truly believe that some of things we will be talking about at this meeting will make the Evergreen Bible Church highlight reel on that Day when the books are opened.
Exciting Finish: We will close our meeting with a time of praise and worship. I expect it will be especially sweet. And then just for fun, we plan to have some refreshments and make over the hills jokes at my expense in celebration of my 50th birthday. Should be fun. 🙂 I hope you will join us.

Akka (på lulesamisk Áhkká) er et højalpint fjeldmassiv i Stora Sjöfallets nationalpark i det nordvestlige Lappland i det nordlige Sverige.

I alt er der elleve bjergtoppe i massivet, hvoraf Stortoppen er den højeste med 2.016 meter over havets overflade. Stortoppen er Sveriges ottendehøjeste, men niveauforskellen er 1.563 meter, hvilket er den højeste i Sverige. Fjeldmassivets imponerende fremtoning har givet det kælenavnet Laplands Dronning.

Navnet Áhkká stammer fra den samiske mytologi. Alt afhængigt af hvilken tradition man følger, er Áhkká den samiske gudinde, der stod for alt det kloge og skønne i verden.
