Marvel's bromantic buddy comedy continues with a classic comedy set up: The double date. This makes for an issue that's less about drama, and more about the wacky, comic book style comedy. But Joe Kelly, Ed McGuinness, and the team make it work. This issue comes off like a story that was destined to be told, unlikely though it may be.
Still trying to see the good in Deadpool, Spider-Man accepts his invitation to hang out at a club in New York City. Little does Spidey know that Deadpool has been contracted to kill his alter ego, Peter Parker. Likewise, Deadpool has no idea Parker and Spider-Man are one and the same. Peter is also unaware Deadpool has made the night into a double date. But the night takes a turn when Spidey learns his date is none other than Thor!
Spider-Man/Deadpool has a really nice, and to an extent unconventional, emotional core. It's obviously meant to be a comedic story. But it's also about Wade Wilson wanting acceptance and friendship. He's trying to impress Spider-Man. Who can't relate to that? And in turn, Spidey is trying to extend the olive branch, and trust Wade. The reader is rooting for Deadpool, and wants this "bromance" to be successful. No matter what bells and whistles they put on this book, that's the key to this story's success.
Ed McGuinness' style really lends itself to the dynamic, comic book superhero pose, as we see on the opening splash page (shown left). McGuinness is also good at drawing cartoony expressions that we can still read in spite of Deadpool's mask. Spidey doesn't get that same treatment, which obviously makes Wade's look unique. Also, the colors on this book really pop. Kudos to Jason Keith for that.
Considering what the majority of this issue consists of, the ending comes as a hell of a surprise. I won't spoil it, but obviously things aren't what they seem. I credit them for upping the intrigue in an issue that was mostly devoted to the comedic side of things. Spider-Man/Deadpool is a tribute to how diverse the superhero genre can be. It doesn't have to strictly be about good guys punching bad guys. Kelly, McGuinness, and the crew have given us a tremendous take on the buddy comedy that makes the best of what both Deadpool and Spider-Man have to offer.
And the most explosive stuff is likely yet to come. Secrets have a tendency of getting out. What happens when Deadpool and Spidey learn the truth?

Marvel's ultimate bromance continues, as ironically Deadpool seeks Spider-Man's friendship, but wants Peter Parker dead. A mysterious source has been in touch with Wade Wilson, supplying him with information about terrible things happening inside Parker Industries. Deadpan once again seen out Spider-Man, and gets two for the price of one. Both the original and Miles Morales show up to face him. Neither believe Wade to be a changed man. But can he change? Can a man seemingly born to kill simply stop spilling blood?
For yours truly, the best part of this issue was the way Wade talks to Miles. Instead of Spider-Man, he calls him "Spider-Adjacent" and "Retcon Spider Clone Junior." It's all in jest of course, but truth is often spoken in jest isn't it? I talked about this in my Spider-Man #1 review not long ago. Miles Morales is no longer the Spider-Man, he's a Spider-Man. In terms of his status in the Marvel Universe, that's a major drawback. It's nice to see someone at least come out and address it.
Ed McGuinness is once again on his game. In the first half of the issue we get a gorgeous shot of Spidey swinging through the city (shown right). There's a fight sequence between Peter, Miles, and Wade that has a really nice energy to it as well. We're also introduced to the Dead-Buggy, i.e. Deadpool's take on the Spider-Buggy, which proves to be a lot of fun. McGuinness also gets the chance to draw a classic Spider-Man villain, which is a nice treat.
Thus far, the key to the success of this series has been Deadpool's sincere desire to win Spider-Man's friendship. Far-fetched though it may be, Wade Wilson is taking a crack at being as straight-laced a hero as he can be. And while that's not exactly in the cards for him, we admire him for trying, and we want Spider-Man to like him. Because we like him. Sadly, with Deadpool now gunning for Peter Parker, this bromance is about to hit a major bump in the road.
Spider-Man/Deadpool is off to a great start. We've got a renowned team, executing a plot that has both intrigue, and the trademark Deadpool humor. Plus, considering how successful Deadpool was on the big screen this month, there's never been a better time to have Wade sharing pages with (arguably) Marvel's marquee character.

To begin, you need to understand that it is illegal to drive a vehicle without insurance. You can end up being prosecuted and fined heavily. The good news is that if the accident was not your fault, you can be fully compensated by the other driver's insurance. In such a case, your lack of insurance will not prevent you from securing compensation. The driver's insurance will pay for your car repairs or even have it replaced. If you happen to sustain bodily injuries, all of your medical bills will also be paid off by the insurance.
Our highly experienced accident lawyers have represented many people caught up in such situations and continue to do so with diligence. These cases are often successful as the insurance companies are well aware that they cannot deny the claims.
In Minnesota, which has no-fault auto insurance laws, your personal insurance company is required to pay the initial $20,000 for medical bills and lost wages that you incur during the accident. However, the payment is usually delayed due to the ongoing negotiations.
In a case where you get hit by an uninsured car, it will be unfortunate because you will may not be compensated unless you have a personal insurance. That is why it is always advisable to have car insurance.
If you are in an auto accident and you are not insured, give us a call and get a free consultation from one of our attorneys. We will explain what the process entails and ensure that you are compensated accordingly.

Saying O.I.N.K. to Facebook
March 3, 2011 March 21, 2011 - by Danelle
Last night I changed my Facebook identity from that of a gay cowboy who lives in Wyoming to a plus size model who lives in Japan. The new me is a fan of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton because if you were a plus size model in Japan, you'd probably be suicidal.
This frequent morphing of my identity is an act of rebellion I started a few weeks back when Facebook changed its format to reflect the data it had collected on me in a strip across the top of my Facebook page. (earlier blog post: Who Am I On The Internet?) Tuesday night while on Facebook, I joined a small knot of renegades who are angry in the same way I am about how the Facebook overlords are making billions from little pieces of us that they do not own and that we didn't initially realize we'd given them permission to manipulate.
One of the members of this modest revolt, the author Walter Kirn, said it best on a post on his website yesterday.
". . . it occurred to a few of us at once in that spooky quantum new way that there was something cowering and servile, something just plain slavish and depressing, about chatting and mingling with our 'friends' inside an environment and in a manner that had both been specifically engineered to yield up salable, packageable marketing data for the super-rich masters of the site. It felt to us, suddenly, belatedly, like we were in the position of young children whose supposedly spontaneous play is also, thanks to tiny dynamos attached to their little legs and arms, a profitable energy-generating scheme. The more we shared our 'likes' and made new friends and linked and updated and built communities and did all that other cool connective stuff that purportedly adds up to a Great Leap Forward, the faster we made those data windmills spin and the more juice we fed back into the grid for the grid's owners to broker and redistribute."
Our late night comment thread produced only one collective action: that we would post the acronym O.I.N.K. at the end of our status updates on Facebook and encourage others to do the same. It's such an early stage in this that we haven't even figured out what the initials of O.I.N.K represent. Since then, I've done so, but irregularly and only one of my Facebook friends took up this cause.
My personal pint-size rebellion continues, however. I'm not going to be myself at all on Facebook, so it has no way to market to me.
It started a year ago when I realized that they were advertising to me based on my martial status as divorced. I'm over the age of 50, so the ads on the side of my page were for senior dating sites. (Even if AARP thinks I'm a senior, I don't consider myself one.) And I occasionally look for solutions to my weight issue on the web, which for some reason Facebook also knows. (I guess they're in cahoots with Google.) Then I started getting ads proclaiming fat senior singles wanted to date me. Looking every day at a page that said fat old guys were after me really brought me down. All of this abruptly ended when I changed my martial status to widowed. I guess no one knows how to market to widows, or thinks that they're too depressed to spend money. Or that fat old guys aren't interested in fat old widows.
That was the first identity manipulation. How Facebook gets you to sell yourself out, however, is via your own greed and ambition. We're all supposed to want to build or brand, right? I'm well connected enough as a writer that Facebook often offers up nationally known authors, journalists and media figures for me to "friend" saying that we have fifteen or more "friends" in common. These are people like Susan Orlean, Kathryn Harrison, Barbara Ehrenreich, Robert Greenwald and Michael Wolfe.
Now that I am a plus size model in Japan, will these people accept my friendship? Once they take a look at my Facebook picture.
Will they want to know me?

Ausfish fishing Australia, Australian Angling Forums > Fishing News > News > More Scare tactics???
View Full Version : More Scare tactics???
Another SMH article ... I wonder where the editor's sympathies lie?
Whilst I agree that some reduction of the bulk bag limits wouldn't hurt, the title and style of the article seems to be giving the conservation council view extensive reader coverage. The last line seems to be a token effort to appear as though the article is balanced reporting.
Coming originally from Nrth NSW and getting back to fish there a couple of times a year, my general feeling is that the fishing has improved substantially over the last 5 years or so. At least for the bread and butter species like whiting, flathead, bream and tailor - can't really comment on offshore, but going on Mono's recent reports it certainly seems to be getting better also. This of course has nothing to do with the recent marine parks, but is probably more likely the result of ongoing improvements in estuary netting / trawling management, buy back of excessive commercial licences, water quality / rain runoff management etc etc which is basically ongoing rectification of past missmanagement.
Also there seems to be a very strong hint that there is a definite agenda for getting the marine parks locked up, THEN bringing on other restrictions. Sounds like the old death by a thousand cuts syndrome again. But you have to wonder, who's pushing this agenda, why is it so difficult to find where this agenda is heading, are rec and pro fishos being consulted during the process of increasing restrictions????
RECREATIONAL fishing in NSW should be severely curtailed with bag limits slashed from 200 to 20 a day and up to half the coastline shut off permanently to anglers and commercial operators, the Nature Conservation Council says.
The recommendations are in a report, Empty Oceans, Empty Nets, which says government catch statistics over the past 60 years show the state fishery is "on the edge of collapse" because of poor management. The report, which tracks catches of 64 species between 1940 and 2000, says almost all species are in decline even though the commercial catch has halved in recent years.
The state's 1 million recreational anglers can now take up to 200 fish a day across all species and up to 20 of some species. The council wants that limit cut to 20 across all species. The State Government is already considering changes, including an overdue review of bag limits, but will not discuss specifics until it has finalised the last of six marine parks.
The report's author, Paul Winn, from the Hunter Community Environment Centre, says marine parks do not go far enough: "They don't cover the entire coastline. It falls well short of what is really needed to address fisheries management."
The director of the Nature Conservation Council, Cate Faehrmann, said the Government should increase sanctuary zones inside marine parks. "We've got to get out of the mentality that there is this endless supply of fish … Research has shown for years that this is not the case and in fact that fish numbers are decreasing at an alarming rate. Recreational fishing is impacting on some fish species quite severely."
Recreational fishing groups agree there is a need to protect specific species but insist fish stocks are stabilising.
While I dont agree with shutting off the coastline, 200 fish is far to many for anyone.
well on ch ten news tonight they had the conservation council cate faehrmann trying to state that the recreational fisher's are doing more damage then the Pro's with Recreational aloud to catch 200 fish per day now that is a lot of fish but to the truth of the matter is how many of us receational fisher's would even come close to that No in a day little to the facts that you would probably catch that many which being out there every day of the week they should check the bag limits before they open mouth and the bag limits on most fish now days is in possesion in which only in titles us to what we have in hand an in the freezers at home. No offence Derek but they really do need to check these things out before open mouth. Yes there maybe the odd fisher-person out there that will not obey the regulations but they will come aguters one day. these councils need to be put but in there place and some needs to do it before they sink the recreational fishing this is a job for the T.F.Q.P. maybe on the to do list.
yes we know it is a load of crap but this is where the greenies, conservationist get to the different parties with there B.S. the way a lot of fisher-person's stand back and let these morons go the more likely it is going to go against us, we know that fisho's and becoming environmentally with our pratice's and are only on most occassions taking only what we need for a feed for the family and maybe a friend or two but we need to get this through to the know it all's sittting behind a desk and have know idea as to the rest and relaxation that go's with fishing spending time with our families and friends on the water and teaching the kids or Grand-Kids what we have learnt and make sure that the knowledge is not lost on stupidity of i have know idea on how to spend time with family, Friends, and teaching patients to our children and keeping them off the streets from vandalism. But more so teaching the right way of sensibilities like water an Alcohol do not mix, safety on water, sensible fishing pratice's, we all know these rules and most accept this some just choose to ignore the facts and put everyone's life in danger but overall we do teach our Children, Families and Friends that sensibility will always come out on top and preserve our life stlye but we all need to stick together for it to continue.

As a school should, St. Gregory's pushes the boundaries of its students' abilities and strives for academic prosperity amongst its pupils. After all, schools exist to educate our young people. St. Gregory's however, goes above and beyond to provide our students with the best education possible – this means not only teaching academics, but enriching the lives of our pupils through extracurricular activities and a strong sense of community.
I started at St. Gregory's as a nervous and slightly awkward 11 year old, too afraid to talk to anyone new. I soon began to realise that secondary school wasn't the intimidating place I had expected it to be: the teachers were warm and welcoming, and the students were kind and helpful. Other members of staff were deeply involved in the daily lives of the students such as Michael, our Chaplain and the receptionists. There was a distinct sense of community in the school and that in itself was a comfort. I, along with many others, was able to settle in very quickly as a result.
St. Gregory's provides a warm, supportive environment to grow and develop yourself. There is an abundance of clubs to join which enable learning new, transferable skills as well as academic and social growth. We also hold numerous events throughout the year such as concerts, musicals, trips, masses, award evenings, fundraising events and an international evening. Having such a wide range of activities is not only exciting, but allows for new experiences to enrich students musically, artistically, religiously, culturally and academically. It is only with the hard work and dedication of the teachers and other members of staff that my cohort and I were able to mark our GCSEs as a positive stepping stone onto our future careers. The skills and knowledge we were able to cultivate over our years here have proved invaluable and many of us were able to start sixth form at St. Gregory's, knowing that we had a wealth of support behind us if we ever needed it.
I am deeply indebted to this school. Over the 6 years I have spent here, I have grown and matured into a young adult who is academically able and who has learnt an abundance of skills which will help me later in life. I have watched many others on the same path as me at St. Gregory's, who have flourished as a result of the close-knit community, the times filled with laughter and the fulfilling education we have been lucky enough to receive.

Are We Seeing the Results of the Left Inviting Antifa to Illinois With Their Philosophy to Stop Funding Police Departments and the US Military and Ignore the Rule of Law ?
Posted on June 1, 2020 by royfmc
The left and the media, which are pretty much one group, are working to undermine the American system because they believe in elections only when their candidate wins and because they believe that the elites have not only the right, but the moral obligation to rule over the rest of us.
There is a real threat to our freedom, that real threat is the Left in America, which has embraced fascism. We are now seeing this played out across the country.
Most of the left either overtly or tacitly approves of the use of violence by Antifa to silence voices it doesn't like. Has the conduct of our currently elected officials invited in Antifa and the subsequent terrorist and criminal conduct by the participants.
The Left is constantly demanding that instead of revising laws they don't like through the democratic process, those laws should just be ignored.
An electorate in darkness can't vote intelligently. Hence, if Americans don't know the truth, they are at risk of voting against what's best for them. Antifa undermines our system by denying people the truth.
Rejecting the constitutional process for creating laws is a rejection of democracy, and it serves to undermine the power of voters.
Other groups are working hard to destroy democracy in America. They too aren't insidious foreign powers, but rather Americans who embrace fascism and totalitarianism.
Tell your friends there is a real threat to our freedom, but it's not from Russia. Rather, the real threat is the left in America, which has embraced fascism.
A prime goal of far-left Antifa is to rid America of "whiteness" as a race, according to a handbook written by a historian who helped organize the anarchist "Occupy Wall Street" movement in 2011.
Anti-capitalist author Mark Bray rejects "exterminating" whites. Instead, he proposes to remove it as a race and thus terminate its high standing while creating a "classless society" that would naturally do away with crime.
"This does not mean exterminating people who are currently categorized as white, but abolishing the classificatory scheme that renders them so," he writes in the 2017 "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook."
Mr. Bray has an extensive list of targets to abolish that include "ableism, heteronormativity, patriarchy, nationalism, transphobia, class rule…."
Attorney General William Barr on Saturday identified Antifa street warriors as the main culprits in promoting the nationwide burning, looting and general destruction of American cities. President Trump says he plans to designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, opening them up to immediate arrest on terrorism charges.
After Mr. Trump labeled Antifa a terror group, the Washington Post gave Mr. Bray op-ed space to defend the violent group.
Antifa has a broad definition of "fascists," giving the title to prominent conservative voices such as Anne Coulter, who it has a right, it says, to shut down. Ms. Coulter canceled a speaking engagement at Berkeley in 2017 after receiving death threats.
Antifa has become notorious in this country for its hooded and masked street bullies shouting down conservative speakers. They have also been filmed as mobs physically attacking conservative activists and destroying personal property.
In 2018, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison posted a photo of himself online holding and endorsing the "Anti-Fascist Handbook." His son said he is a proud Antifa backer.
A Los Angeles Times story later said, "Violence over this weekend by left-wing 'antifa' activists in Berkeley has opened another chapter in the debate at the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement over UC Berkeley's plan to host several conservative firebrands next month."
The heart of Antifa's battle is to rid America of "whiteness."
Mr. Bray quotes a like-minded author as saying, "The preeminent position of whiteness atop the racial hierarchy that birthed it makes it an identity of a very different sort from blackness, for example, which was the direct result of the destruction of the identities of kidnapped Africans who were placed on the bottom of the hierarchy."
Mr. Bray's anti-white strategy: "My Jewish and Irish ancestors were not considered 'white' when they first arrived in this country in the early twentieth century, but over time they were gradually welcomed into what Joel Olson terms 'white democracy.' The meaning and boundaries of such social constructs shift over time, but we have the power to strike back at the racial hierarchy that underpins the very essence of whiteness. This does not mean adopting a conservative 'color-blind' outlook, but rather targeting sources of white privilege and struggling in solidarity with the disinherited of the world."
The book adds: "The only long-term solution to the fascist menace is to undermine its pillars of strength in society grounded not only in white supremacy but also in ableism, heteronormativity, patriarchy, nationalism, transphobia, class rule, and many others. This long-term goal points to the tensions that exist in defining anti-fascism, because at a certain point destroying fascism is really about promoting a revolutionary socialist alternative…."
Mr. Bray says Antifa also wants America to stop funding police departments, ICE, and the US Military.
"By not devoting resources to prisons, police, and the military, such a post-capitalist society would be able to put far more into supporting education, the arts, and collective expression and inquiry," he writes. "While the creation of a classless society would eliminate the majority of crime stemming from capitalist antagonisms, Antifa argue that methods of restorative justice should replace police and prisons in addressing conflicts that persist."
On free speech, he quotes an Antifa loyalist:
"As Joe from the Raleigh-Durham [General Defense Committee] argued, 'the idea that freedom of speech is the most important thing that we can protect can only be held by someone who thinks that life is analogous to a debate hall. In my opinion 'no platforming' fascists often infringes upon their speech, but this infringement is justified for its role in the political struggle against fascism."
Antifa is one of many discrete organizations whose sole purpose is to apply Alinsky model terrorist tactics to facilitate the collapse of the systems and Constitutional government of the United State, and has developed unhealthy and undue influence over the entire Democrat Party and a large portion of the US Federal government.
We are seeing in Illinois, the outcomes of politicians such as Mayor Lightfoot and Governor Priztker subscribing to such principals, using these relationships to the political model architects to rise to power. The Illinois voters need to recognize this denigration of our political process and remove these players from power in subsequent elections.

The Story of San Michele is regarded as Munthe's life work. It was the book he spent the most time writing and it contains the story of his life, and, as the title implies, of his home. In the foreword to the Swedish edition, however, Munthe denies that the book is an autobiography. The book was written in English and is regarded as one of the world's first bestsellers. It was quickly translated into more than 50 languages.

"I'm Not Sure If That's What Their Job Is": Consumer Health Information and Emerging "Healthwork" Roles in the Public Library
By Harris, Roma; Henwood, Flis; Marshall, Audrey; Burdett, Samantha
Members of the public are expected to assume increasing responsibility for their own health and to keep themselves informed about health issues. Here we describe a study of library users' and staff members' expectations about the public library's role in supporting citizens' "healthwork." We conducted our research in a public library in the United Kingdom that operates on a model of patron self-service. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with library patrons and staff members as well as a written survey of patrons who had visited the library because of a health concern. Our findings suggest that the library's users regard the public library as a highly trusted source of hearth reformation. The majority of surveyed users were in search of books relevant to their health concern, and more than half were able to locate what they needed on their own. While generally self-sufficient, some of the survey respondents as well as those who took part in the interviews indicated that they had consulted library staff for help, although they appeared uncertain about the level of reference support they should expect. Members of the library's reference desk staff who took part in the interviews expressed frustration over policies that limit the time available to support patron's inquiries, and many lacked training, particularly in online health information resources. The results raise important questions about the emerging "geography of responsibilities" in health-informing work arising from changing information technology and new emphases in health policy.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
As governments and private sector organizations look to control health-related costs, citizens face growing pressure to take responsibility for their own health. An important element of this responsibility involves staying informed about health matters, one of the tasks described by Mykhalovskiy, McCoy, and Bresalier as "healthwork," which they describe as "the broad terrain of everyday/everynight activities through which people look after their health." (1) In a recent book, Wyatt, Harris, and Wathen discuss the complex and shifting "middle ground" of health information work and introduce the term health "info(r) mediary" to describe "the various configurations of people and technologies that perform the mediating work involved in enabling health information seekers to locate, retrieve, understand, cope with and use the information for which they are looking." (2)
The purpose of the research presented here is to explore this middle ground in the context of a public library--specifically, the roles and expectations of patrons and staff with respect to the library's role in enabling citizens' health information work.
THE OBLIGATION TO BE HEALTHINFORMED
Irvine explains what is expected of people in the current health care climate:
As health consumers, people are meant
to develop new relations with health care
providers, policy makers and themselves.
At the level of practical conduct they are
admonished not to act unthinkingly and
not to defer to the sovereign will of health
care providers. Rather they are encouraged
to seek out information, for example, finding
out the side-effects of prescribed medicine,
consult books for guidance on how to cope
with illness, and investigate and evaluate the
available medical services. (3)
There is considerable evidence that many members of the lay public comply with this expectation and are active health information seekers, often relying on the Internet to locate information for themselves and on behalf of others. Reports from the United States, for example, suggest that 80 percent of "connected" citizens have searched online for information about health topics. (4) In Canada, a random telephone survey of rural residents indicated that of the nearly 75 percent who had looked for health information in the previous year, 60 percent had searched online. …

'That Shot': Hawthorn, Cooper Bristol, Goodwood 1952…
Posted: April 9, 2019 in F1, Icons & Iconoclasts
Tags: Cooper T20 Bristol, Louis Klemantaski, Mike Hawthorn
One of the better known photographs in motor racing is Louis Klemantaski's shot of Mike Hawthorn's Cooper T20 Bristol attacking the apex of Fordwater at Goodwood in 1952…
The Klemantaski Collection archive describe the photograph thus; 'Hawthorn is obviously really on the absolute limit with this Cooper-Bristol. And of course he is aiming right for Klemantaski who had positioned himself at the edge of the track exactly at the apex of the very fast Fordwater corner on the back of the Goodwood circuit. What a dynamic image!
This race was the 'Sussex International Trophy' for Formula Libre racing cars on June 2, 1952.
Hawthorn won, perhaps somewhat aided by his father Leslie's long experience with nitromethane. It was Hawthorn's third outing with a friend's Cooper-Bristol.
On April 14th at Goodwood he came up against Juan Manuel Fangio, driving another Cooper, and won against the already famous Argentinian driver. Hawthorn won two races with the Cooper that weekend and finished second in the final race of the day to Froilán González in Tony Vandervell's Thinwall Special Ferrari GP car.
Then Hawthorn entered the Daily Express International Trophy on May 10th with the same Cooper-Bristol to win the first heat, but finished several laps down in the final due to gearshift problems.
His excellent showing with the Cooper at the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps where he was fourth and at the subsequent British Grand Prix finishing third led to an offer from Ferrari for 1953- and an eventual World Championship aboard the Ferrari Dino 246 in 1958.

'Hawthorn died in a road crash in January 1959 after retiring from racing at the end of his Championship year, is remembered by his own book Challenge Me the Race and Champion Year and in several biographies, including Mon Ami Mate and Golden Boy. Mike Hawthorn's grave is in Farnham, Surrey where he is still well remembered and where he and his father had run the Tourist Trophy Garage for many years', the Klemantaski Collection wrote.

Bluebird, Lake Eyre 1963/4…

Tags: Bluebird Proteus CN7, Donald Campbell, Lake Eyre, Land Speed Record
(J Frith)
'All set, everything ship shape!'…
I've already written a couple of articles about Donald Campbell's achievements against the odds of the weather gods at Lake Eyre, South Australia during the winters of 1963 and 1964.
He had a torrid time from the media, his sponsors- many of whom he lost during that first year, the public and some in the Australian Parliament.
Click below for a brilliant article, the best written, about Campbell's ultimately successful record attempt by the late Evan Green, a superb Australian motoring and motor-racing journalist, very talented rally and race driver and the man appointed by Campbell's major sponsor in 1964, Ampol, to manage the program from Muloorina Station and Lake Eyre- so it is very much a first-hand participants account.
It provides useful context for this small random selection of cartoons and photographs.
https://www.whichcar.com.au/features/classic-wheels/classic-wheels-donald-campbell-and-his-bluebird-car-world-speed-record
The first cartoon is by John E Frith, one of Australia's great cartoonists who worked early in his career for the Sydney Morning Herald and later for the Melbourne Herald (as here I suspect) and is dated 26 April 1963.
It shows DC about to close the cockpit of Bluebird, with a dutiful salute being provided. 'SS Bluebird' is an amalgam of plane, ship and car carrying the colours of both Britain and Australia, the watching kangaroo and aboriginal are amusing, the latter totally politically incorrect these days!
Bluebird Proteus CN7 Lake Eyre 1964 (J Carter)
Jeff Carter's photo was taken during the 1964 attempt.
His caption reads 'Donald Campbell's attempt on the world speed record in a vehicle driven through the wheels (not jet propelled) dragged on for almost two years during the winters of 1963 and 1964.
Fluctuating dampness of the dry saltpan that is Lake Eyre was a major problem, making it difficult to maintain a perfectly smooth, dry, hard surface for the many necessary practice runs and the final attempt.
Sponsors grew impatient with the endless delays and withdrew support. New sponsors had to be found.
Campbell's unpredictable temperament was a factor in splitting the large group of sponsors, technicians, caterers, time-keepers etc- some 60 or more people in two camps.
Eventually in the late winter of 1964, the 4,500 horsepower jet-engined Bluebird attained a new Land Speed Record of 403.1miles per hour (an average) of its top speeds on two consecutive runs, north and south.
Craig Breedlove, driving a jet-propelled vehicle on a salt lake in the USA achieved a considerably higher speed in 1964. His vehicle was not driven through the wheels. In this photo, technicians, time keepers, photographers and photographers play football beteen practice runs'. (look carefully, you can see the ball)
(J Carter)
Jeff Carter was the official photographer for the attempt, representing the international photo agency 'Black Star'.
'When nothing much was happening in the Campbell/Bluebird camp, I and other members of the press would adjourn to Marree, (above) where nothing much was happening either!'
(LAT)
Of course everything did eventually get to a stage where Campbell drove the car in conditions which were still sub-optimal as related in Even Green's article- but good enough to have a crack and placate those who had been more than patient with him for an inordinate amount of time. 17 July 1964.
The good citizens of Adelaide, a good proportion of the cities total population turned out to see the Bluebird parade on King William Street, and so they should.
It was a remarkable achievement.

JMF trying to stay warm at chilly Silverstone, 5 October 1970…
In this day and age of every Tom, Dick and Irving recording their every exploit from the bedroom to the mountain top it's instructive to look at just how far we have come in camera packaging over four decades or so.
Patrice Pouget is just about to shoot some action footage from a precariously mounted camera atop the svelte tail of a Maserati 250F for a documentary on the great mans life. 'Fangio', directed by Hugh Hudson and narrated by the champ himself was released in 1971. The car is '2516', originally a 1955 ex-works car raced mainly by Jean Behra and then sold to Australian Reg Hunt and raced in turn by Bib Stillwell and Arnold Glass before returning to Europe in the sixties and Historic Racing.
I must watch it.

Juan Manuel Fangio's Sandown Park…

(B Howard)
The Light Car Club of Australia achieved a major promotional coup by securing Juan Manuel Fangio's attendance at the fiftieth anniversary of the first Australian Grand Prix held at Sandown, Melbourne on 10 September 1978…
Here (above) the great man ponders his car during practice. Fangio raced a Mercedes Benz W196 2.5 litre straight-eight engined Grand Prix car, the design with which he won his 1954 and 1955 World Championships- whilst noting the two wins he took in Maserati 250F's in 1954 before joining Mercedes from the French Grand Prix.
JMF wanted to drive in a Polo-Shirt as he did in the day but the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport would have none of that, hence the overalls over his normal clothes.

Fangio hooks the big Mercedes into Dandenong Road corner at Sandown (I Smith)
The Sandown event created huge interest far beyond the racing fraternity, including articles in such unlikely places as the 'Australian Womens Weekly', normally the province of the Royal Family, cooking recipes and similar – such was the mans immense global stature decades after his last championship win in 1957. He won five F1 titles of course- in 1951 in an Alfa 159, 1954/5 Benz W196, 1956 Lancia-Ferrari 801 and the final in 1957 aboard a Maserati 250F.
It was the Argentinian's first visit to Australia, he had planned to race in the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games GP at Albert Park, a race won by Stirling Moss in a Maser 250F, but in the end conflicting commitments scuttled the idea. He returned to Melbourne in 1981 and came to Adelaide twice I think, the sight of him blasting along Adelaide roads during the wonderful 1986 'Eagle On The Hill' run from the city up through the Adelaide Hills to the top of Mount Lofty is not something any of the large number who saw it will readily forget either. He drove a Mercedes sports-racer, a 300SLR on that occasion. If memory serves he may have boofed an Alfa Romeo Alfetta 159 of the type he raced in 1951 at Adelaide doing a demo- by that stage he would have been well into his late seventies mind you.
Fangio contested a 'Race of Champions' at Sandown which included Jack Brabham aboard his 1966 championship winning Brabham BT19 Repco '620', and former Australian Champions Bill Patterson in a Cooper T51 Climax and Bob Jane in a Maserati 300S. Both were cars they had raced in period and retained.
(mouserat159)
All eyes were on the Fangio, Brabham 'battle' over the three lap journey of course, the footage well known to most of you says it all in terms of the speed and spirit in which the cars were driven, note that JMF was 67 at the time and had suffered two heart attacks in the years before his visit.
(C Griffiths)
The sight and sound of Fangio driving the big, noisy W196 on the throttle, kicking it sideways in the manner for which he was famous lap after lap in practice around Sandown's third-gear Shell Corner onto Pit Straight is forever etched in my memory. He could still boogie at that stage- well and truly.
As you all know, normally the paddock is a hive of activity with mechanics and engineers getting on with necessary preparation of their steed for the next session or race. Sandown's then layout afforded those in the paddock a great view of the cars on circuit from or near the pit counter. On the occasions that Fangio was on circuit the tents in the cuddly-small Sandown paddock were empty as drivers and mechanics watched Fangio strut his stuff. It was simply not to be missed whatever the competitive needs of the moment were.
It's always funny to re-live discussions of 'that weekend' with fellow enthusiasts as so many of us were there from all over this vast land, all having a different experience or highlight but equally excited recollections of it all despite the elapse of forty years. As a student at the time I was there from the meetings start to finish, it was sad when it was all over, I was very conscious of the fact that I had witnessed something special.
Fangio was the President of Mercedes Argentina and owner of two dealerships when he visited Oz and had to 'sing for his supper' over the week he was here. He did a range of promotional events, dinners and drives with motoring writers to promote, mainly, the 'Benz 450 SEL 6.9 which was the range-topper at the time, a snip at $A68,500 in 1978.
The 1978 AGP, held to F5000, was a race of attrition won by Graham McRae in his see-through perspex cockpit McRae GM3 Chev from John David Briggs and Peter Edwards in Matich A51 Repco and Lola T332 Chev respectively.
In fact it was an entirely forgettable AGP- very bad accidents hurt both Garrie Cooper, Elfin MR8 Chev and Alan Hamilton, Lola T430 Chev. These very high speed shunts, together with a tangle that eliminated second placed Jon Davison's T332 and Vern Schuppan's Elfin MR8 Chev on lap 28- and a broken head-gasket for pole-sitter John McCormack's unique ex-F1 McLaren M23 Leyland conspired to rob a race which had lots of potential.
An arcane end to this piece.
It's a long story, but a decade or so ago, an Australian enthusiast 'discovered' in contemporary newspaper reports that a very short race named 'Australian Grand Prix', was contested on an oval layout at Goulburn's racecourse, New South Wales on 15 January 1927.
This race was shortly thereafter recognised by many, but not all historians as 'the first Australian Grand Prix' thereby replacing the previous event which held that honour, the '100 Miles Road Race' held at Phillip Island in 1928, later recognised as the first AGP.
So, Juan Manuel Fangio was here in 1978 to celebrate the fifty-first AGP not the fiftieth…

Tailpiece: I wonder which particular W196 chassis Fangio ran here in 1978?…
Big butt isn't it? All fuel and oil tank, its an object lesson in Vittorio Jano's design intent with the D50 Lancia to get the fuel between the wheelbase via his pannier-tanks. I've a vague recollection this particular chassis was fitted with a 3 litre SLR engine for demonstration purposes rather than the GeePee 2.5? Interesting the way the body comes together too.

John Cobb at Brooklands during the 17 May 1937 Gold Trophy Coronation Race, Napier Railton…
What an awesome 23.944 litre, 580 bhp machine this is- there is little point waxing lyrical about a superb racing car which is a well known national icon in the UK, so I will keep it short and hopefully sweet.
Cobb was a big man and clearly liked his racing cars on some scale, a passion his fur-broking business Anning Chadwick & Kiver allowed him to indulge. Reid Railton designed the car which was built by Thomson & Taylor with the specific brief of taking the Brooklands lap record, a feat it achieved for all time, at 143.33 mph on 7 October 1935. It was an exercise he likened to 'trying to see how far you can lean out of a window without actually falling!'.
Brooklands, Cobb, Napier Railton, date unknown (B Museum)
John Cobb and the Napier at Brooklands on 31 March 1934 (Pinterest)
Railton specified a slow running Napier W-formation aviation engine in a suitably butch chassis with massive side members, twin cantilevered back springs and a finely muscular front axle. Typical of its time, the cockpit was capacious and it needed to be for record-breaking runs of up to 3000 miles or so.
Successful from the start, the car won its first race at the Brooklands Bank Holiday Meeting in 1933, the big beast recorded a standing lap of 120.59 mph and a flying lap of 123.28 mph. 'When running for long spells, very large Dunlop special racing tyres were required, imposing a heavy task for the mechanics changing wheels at pitstops'. In addition to three times breaking the lap-record at 'The Track' the car broke world records at Montlhery and at Utah. The BRDC 500 Mile Race was won at 121.28 mph and the 500 Km version at 127.05 mph with the Napier Railton timed over the kilometre at 151.97 mph.
'Pandora and The Flying Dutchman' starred the Napier Railton in a fantasy romance with Ava Gardner and James Mason. Here 'Dunlop Boys' Freddie Hicks and Sidney West push the Napier towards a run on the Pendine Sands. Love the fags in mouths- photo used by Dunlop as a PR shot (unattributed)
Napier Railton on duty for GQ parachute testing circa 1951 (B Museum)
In 1949 Cobb hired the Napier Railton to the Romulus Film Company to make 'Pandora and The Flying Dutchman', a film about a racing driver. In 1951 John sold the car to the GQ Parachute Company who used it to test aircraft brake parachutes at Dunsfold Airfield- GQ modified the car and fitted it with test equipment to deploy parachutes at high speed and then retract them at about 30 knots.
Cobb, who served as an RAF pilot during the war, was killed trying to achieve the Water Speed Record in the jet-boat 'Crusader' at Loch Ness on 29 September 1952- the boat hit an unexplained wake.
The Napier Railton was in the best of hands when Patrick Lindsay acquired it-after a rebuild by Crosthwaite & Gardner he raced it in vintage events. It was then bought by Bob Roberts for his Midland Motor Museum, it was kept in running order after 'being completely overhauled, except the engine' by Hodec Engineering, Surrey in 1975. Aston Martin's Victor Gauntlett was the next owner in 1989, and then at auction it passed to a German industrialist and finally, thankfully, became the Brooklands Museum's car when offered to them in 1997 via a Swiss classic car dealer who 'discovered it' in the German's collection. It is regularly demonstrated, many of you will have been fortunate enough to see it on circuit.
An awesome machine in the true sense of the word, goodness only knows how it felt on the limit for 500 miles on Brooklands famous concrete bumps…

Albert Park, March 1955- 'Albert Park Trophy' with #10 Patterson, #9 Davison and #81 Jones on pole…
Rather a sign of the times, Cooper were on the march to world domination, their mid-engine, air-cooled designs perfected over the early forties into the fifties.
Between these three fellows were six AGP victories, or perhaps five given Davo and Patto shared one of them- and three Gold Stars, one apiece. They were front-running Victorians for well over a decade and shared a passion for cars and business- all three Holden dealers at one point in time.
Bill Patterson's green machine is a Mk5 JAP, Lex Davison's a Mk4 Vincent and Stan Jones a Mk4 JAP. Patto took the Albert Park win in a race of attrition from Gib Barrett's BWA and Otto Stone's MG K3- Jones pitted with a misfire and Lex also retired.

Jones chassis '10/53/50′ was imported by Melbourne Cooper distributor Keith Martin in early 1951 and was claimed to be an intermediate version having a Mk5 chassis and Mk4 bodywork. Fitted with a 1098cc JAP race motor, the 95bhp machine sat in Martin's showroom for a year before acquisition by Stanley who first raced it at Rob Roy in March 1952.
'The car became one of the top under 1500cc cars for both circuits and hillclimbs- the battle for hillclimb records between Jones, Davison and Patterson was a highlight of motorsport in the early fifties' John Blanden wrote.
Holder of many outright records the car was offered for sale in AMS in December 1953 and finally acquired by Earl Davey-Milne in December 1955, he raced it first at Albert Park in 1956 and still retains the car which is said to be the lowest mileage air-cooled Cooper of them all.

250 SWB…

The prototype Ferrari 250 GTB SWB on test at Modena Autodrome on 29 October 1959…
Carlo Chiti, Chief Engineer is behind the car, to his left in overalls is the legendary Enzo Ferrari Lieutenant Luigi Bazzi, by then I think 'Technical Consultant'. You can just see the tip of Richie Ginther's head over Bazzi's shoulder.
I wonder if Richie had a steer of the 250 or whether he was focussed on the GP 246 Dino, the nose of which can be seen at left.
This session is in the huge gap between the Italian GP at Monza on 13 September in which Hill was second behind Moss' Cooper T51 Climax, and the US event at Sebring in December. There Tony Brooks Dino was third behind the Cooper T51's of both Bruce McLaren and Maurice Trintignant.
Ferrari got the hang of the mid-engined caper in 1961 with the Tipo 156 but 1960 was to be a year of slim pickings, the front-engined Dino was well past its useby date.
What a car the 250 SWB proved to be!?
Shorter in wheelbase than the 250 'cruisers' to lower the cars weight and increase it's agility. High power- between 237-276 BHP from the 3 litre V12 and well sorted suspension by the design and development team of Chiti, Giotto Bizzarini and the youthful Mauro Forghieri made it a winner. Around 176 were built in both steel and aluminium 'Lusso' and 'Corsa' forms.
The car below is chassis '3218GT', imported to Australia by WH Lowe Automobiles Pty. Ltd. in 1962. Bill Lowe was the Australian importer of Lancia's and Ferrari's for decades.
I was a Camberwell Grammar School prat nearby Lowe's factory/showroom and regularly dribbled over the showroom window in Whitehorse Road, Balwyn, Melbourne from 1969-1974. I admired everything but particularly 246 Dinos. I was as infatuated with those almost as much as the perky, pert, teenage temptresses at Fintona Girls School just round the corner. Both were unattainable of course.
'3218GT' was Lowe's daily drive until he sold to Jim Leech in 1964. Jim and his brother Bill Leech were 'Light Car Club of Australia' stalwarts, racers pre and post war and owners of some wonderful cars. From memory they had a Lombard AL3- this car was raced by Bill Lowe in the Australian GP at Phillip Island from 1929-33, Cisitalia D46, Maser 300S, Bug T37A and some great road stuff including this Ferrari- the 58th steel bodied car built, RHD too. It was a familiar beast at many Victorian events forever, inevitably it was sold overseas, cars such as this are global commodities after all.
Here '3218' is participating in the Geelong Sprints along Ritchie Boulevard, on Geelong's waterfront circa 1970 at a guess.
Not a bad bit of kit?!…

Making few changes to your hair care routine can do wonders. We all heard of tips and tricks to maintain healthy hair but not all of them are always true. I've teamed up with Madison Reed to share 10 popular myths and determine whether each of them is fact or fiction.
I've been told numerous times that dyeing your hair damages your hair and that's the main reason why I stayed away from it all my life. However, choosing a healthier hair color is the solution. Avoid hair dyes that contain harsh chemicals such as PPD, ammonia and resorcinol. Madison Reed Radiant Creamy Color doesn't contain any of those but instead it has some ingredients that strengthen and repair your hair: Micropigments, Argan Oil, Keratin, Ginseng Root Extract.
I'm also in the process of dyeing my hair for the first time. I wasn't too sure about the color, so I decided to take Madison Reed Hair Color Quiz to help me decide. The quiz consists of 7 questions and it helps you find the right match for you based on your hair and skin tone. I got matched to Venezia Brown - 4NGV, which is described as natural dark brown with hints of gold.
Sunlight doesn't only damage your skin but also your hair. It weakens hair causing breakages and fades color, so use hair styling products with UV protection.
Each strand is weak when your hair is wet because the chemical bonds that hold hair proteins are temporarily broken.
Heat from blow dryers, flat irons or curling irons can damage your hair, so make sure to prep your hair with heat protective serums and sprays.
I personally never heard of it but this is not true. Hair cuticles don't open or close due to hot or cold temperatures. What you can instead is use products that will provide shine to your hair. Madison Reed Color Reviving Gloss adds gentle shine, conditioning and color refresh.
Pony-tails, buns or braids that are too tight can strain your scalp and cause hair loss, so instead of pulling back strands drastically, use products that eliminate frizz.
Get a trim every 6-8 weeks to avoid split ends that cause hair to break and thin out.
Healthier hair color allows pregnant women to dye their hair. Dr. Jan Hansen, broad-certified OB/GYN, confirms women can dye their hair but advises them to always consult doctor before doing so.
Constant drying can damage your hair, so avoid blow drying your hair too often. Simply cover your head during winter if your hair is wet, so you won't feel chilly. However, it doesn't increase your likelihood of catching a cold.
Washing your hair too often strips away natural oils, which can lead to dry, frizzy and unmanageable hair. It also causes color fading. I used to wash my hair almost everyday when I was a teenager and it really damaged my hair. Ever since I stopped, I noticed a huge improvement in my hair.

Splatoon 2 is Getting a LOT More Content
New stages, gear, modes and more are on the way!
By Andy Hoover. Posted 11/21/2017 19:00 1 Comment ShareThis
Nintendo impressed Splatoon players with a constant flow of new content and, so far, they have been keeping the trend going with its Switch sequel. Soon, that trickle will turn into a flood: on November 23, Splatoon 2 will get a massive update.
First, hardcore players will be glad to see the level cap raised from 50 to 99 and once they reach that lofty point they'll have the option to reset it back to level one for the perk of getting a star next to their name. Next, 140 new clothing items will be added to the game, including some classic gear from the first game as well as more winter-themed clothes. Four new hairstyles will also be added to go along with the new gear. Also, as a very important improvement to quality of life, you'll now be able to swap gear and weapons between matches without having to back out of matchmaking.
The meatier content for many will likely be the new stages and modes. For competitive play, four new stages will be added and rolled out one at a time following the update. MakoMart will come first while Shellendorf Institute, Walleye Warehouse and Arowana Mall will follow sometime in the near future. Some might recognize the latter two as returning stages from the original game. Salmon Run is also getting a new stage in the form of Salmonid Smokeyard.
One big addition coming in December is a brand-new mode called Clam Blitz. The objective is to gather clams spread throughout the stage, break the barrier blocking your opponent's goal, and then toss in as many clams as you can. Splatting enemy players will let you steal their collected clams.
Last but not least, fans of Splatoon 2's soundtrack will be glad to hear that two new tracks are being added to the game.
This is definitely the largest update yet for Splatoon 2, so it will be even more interesting to see what else Nintendo has planned beyond this.

Props to Nintendo for all of this being FREE!
This update is definitely what I was asking for. My favorite update here is the weapon/gear swapping in between matches. That alone is enough to get me back after Mario took over my gaming life for the last month. The inclusion of Walleye Warehouse -my favorite stage from the first game- is a bonus.

MADISON COUNTY, Alabama -- Vulcan Materials began site work on Gurley Mountain on Friday after receiving air and water permits from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
"We we're in there first thing this morning doing preliminary improvements," said Joe Howle, Vulcan area manager of environmental service. "It will be a slow process until we get fully operational. But there will be a lot of activity in the next six to eight months."
The news likely stunned the nearby communities of Gurley, McMullen Cove and Hampton Cove, which had been mounting a fight to prevent the quarry, located in the unincorporated part of the county by U.S. 72, just east of Huntsville.
Residents voiced outrage and desperation at a public meeting last month, saying they feared the blasting, increased heavy truck traffic and defacing of the mountain would damage homes, worsen air pollution, endanger lives and lower property values.
State Rep. Wayne Johnson, R-Ryland, is trying to get a bill passed by the Legislature that would prevent a quarry from operating within five miles of a school in Madison County.
ADEM stated at the public meeting that it could only address the air and water quality aspects of the permit and could not consider overall quality of life and community economy.
Howle said Vulcan was confident ADEM would approve the permits, and so crews were ready to start work first thing Friday morning after getting the OK from ADEM on Thursday afternoon. The crews only had to drive from nearby quarries in Huntsville and Scottsboro, he added.
"I can't tell you how many of these ADEM applicants I have done, but if you do the things the rules require, dot all the I's and cross all the T's, you can expect a favorable ruling," he said.
The site work done Friday consisted mostly of road widening and surface improvements for operating vehicles, Howle said.
"There was a lot done today," he said. "The good thing is, this a previous quarry site. The quarry pits and roads were already there so it's mostly a matter of improving the roads. We did drill and shoot some rock. We also brought a crusher in today to use that rock on the site. We also brought rock in from another quarry."
As for Vulcan's relationship with the area residents opposed to the quarry, Howle said time has shown at Vulcan's other sites - 28 in Alabama - that the residents' fears don't come to pass. He added, however, that Vulcan will stay abreast of potential quarry legislation introduced in Montgomery.
The Town of Gurley had successfully fought off a previous attempt by M&M Materials to build a quarry at its doorstep. In 2004, residents voted for a referendum that annexed the proposed quarry site into town limits. Town officials then rezoned the property for agriculture use only, which prevented quarry construction.

I bought this saw a month ago. Great saw, the only problem was the extension table top was very poorly made but called Grizzly and a new one was sent. Great service.
wish i had bought this saw 10 years ago. went together great. little fine tuning to do. everything was almost perfect. wish there was hooks or slots for the miter gauge, wrenches, and dado insert.
I love to work with wood building toys and things for my grandchildren, family and friends. A couple of months ago I pulled the trigger and bought this G1023RXL table saw. I am very happy I did. There was only one issue with the saw upon delivery. The front tube rail was bent. After contacting costumer service, they immediately shipped me another one. Now all is good! Also, putting everything together was a piece of cake. Thank you Grizzly.
Very happy with the quality and performance of this saw. I have been using a Craftsman for over 20 years, and the Grizzly is in a different league. The only issue I had setting it up was to fine tune the extension table. It seemed to have a slight bow in it, but was able to flatten it with strategically loosening/tightening the rail bolts, and using a hammer and board (high tech stuff). The settings for the blade, fence... were right on, or close enough out of the box. Speaking of boxes, the rail box in delivery was a bit damaged when received (about two feet of rail was exposed). A small gash is on the rail, but it is hidden and doesnt cause any issues.
Very happy with the saw. Easy assembly with few adjustments to make everything square.
Full power, heavy, nice fence. Only complaint is the extension table. Its made of particle board and not well made.
I had to wait a while for this one as it was back ordered, but it was worth the wait. I'm quite pleased with it. I would give it a 4 1/2 if I could. Delivery by UPS freight was great. I have a very long driveway that I was sure no semi driver was going to want to back down, so I had it delivered to my work, and paid the extra few bucks for lift gate service. The UPS driver used the lift gate to put the saw directly into the bed of a pick-up truck which I was able to then drive right to my front door. With the help of 3 other guys, I was able to get it down the stairs and into my basement shop. It came in 5 boxes. 4 of them were quite manageable for one person, the 5th was the main part of the saw and it weighed just over 400 pounds. I only have a 30 inch wide stairway leading to my shop, but it fit with 1/2 inch or so to spare. Un-boxing and assembly went pretty well. The saw and all it's parts were in immaculate condition. Fit and finish were near perfect and better than I expected for the price paid. It was set up very well out of the box. The table and the wing were as flat as I've ever seen when checked with a machinists straight edge. The parallelism between blade and miter slots were within 1/1000. I didn't think I could get it any better, so I left it. The 90 degree stop was perfect. The 45 degree stop was off by a degree. The fence was off by 1/4 of a degree. Adjustments were easily performed. There were 2 minor issues during assembly. First was on the left side cast iron wing. There was a hole in the front side of the wing a couple inches from the far left side that was supposed to be counter-sunk. The hole was used to attach the on/off switch, but it was necessary for the bolt provided to be either totally flush, or slightly recessed, otherwise it would interfere with the installation of the front rail. There was a corresponding hole on the back side of the wing that didn't end out getting used for anything, and it was countersunk. My guess is that they accidentally countersunk the back one instead of the front one. Fortunately, I had the right drill bit on hand to countersink the front side and was able to continue on. The second issue was really just an irritation. At one point during the installation of the extension table, I had to go back and undo a few steps that the instructions had already had me complete. It was a waste of maybe 10 minutes, but it was an unnecessary delay as all they have to do is make a change to the assembly instructions. Once assembled and fine tuned, I powered it up. It was quiet, solid, vibration free, and extremely powerful. The dust collection is excellent. It is a joy to use and it's a beautiful saw. I was also pleased to see it came with a dado insert as they could easily have tried to made an extra $40 on that. Beyond the two minor problems during assembly, I have 3 other minor complaints:1) The thickness of the extension table. If you are just going to use it as an extension table for your saw, it's perfectly adequate. But if as I intend, you want to drop a router lift in it, you should plan on making your own table or gluing another layer of MDF to the bottom of the one they provide. I knew I would be getting MDF, I just thought it would be a full 3/4 thick with the melamine on top of that. What I got was about 21/32 including the melamine. By the time I take out 3/8 inch for the router lift plate, I don't feel like that's enough material to support the lift and the router. 2) very awkward getting to the release button for the riving knife/blade guard. I generally just leave the riving knife in, so not a big deal for me, but if you switch between a blade guard and a riving knife often, this will probably be a frustration for you. 3) I wish the power button were easier to find. Maybe I'll eventually find it by feel, but after a month, I still find myself having to take a step back from the saw and visually find the power button to turn the saw on. This is not true of the power OFF button. It is a large red paddle switch that is easily found without looking. All in all, I am very pleased. I think it is a better saw than others that sell for quite a bit more. I would take it over a Jet or a Delta any day. If money was no object, I suppose Powermatic might have the edge, but let's face it, for most of us....money is an object. At this point, I have a jointer, band saw, dust collector, and table saw all by Grizzly. When you take quality, parts availability, service, and price all into account, I don't think you can do better. Unless something changes for the worse, I will continue to buy Grizzly for all my large woodworking tools.
This is a good saw but we have had two problems. We had to replace the extension table as it is made out of flimsy 1/2" MDF. We replaced it with 3/4" melamine coated plywood. We also had to replace the arbor wrench wrench as the open end arms failed. We had a local metal shop cut one out of 3/16" steel with wider arms for greater strength.
I bought this saw as a second saw for my workshop. I have 2 complaints with this saw. The first is the crank on the blade height adjuster is VERY HARD to turn. Sometimes I have to get down on a chair so I can get enough leverage to turn the crank. My delta Unisaw (which I have had for many years) adjusts very easily. I can spin the crank with one hand.
My second complaint is the time it takes for this saw to stop after it is turned off. It spins forever. It should have a brake like my radial arm saw. My Unisaw stops in about 5 seconds. This one takes about 15. That doesn't sound like much but when you stand their all day long waiting for it, it gets real old real fast.
I make kitchen cabinets and my saws run all day long. All in all this is a nice saw, just not as good as it could be.
I owned a business and I had many tools from Grizzly most tools were over 25 years old and they all still worked with not many problems and I sold them all at a auction and moved out of the state. Now I need a few tools for my personal use and I will buy all Grizzly Tools again. I have not used the table saw yet waiting on getting the electric hooked up in my garage.
Have had this saw for a month now and operates as advertised. Wasn't happy to find out the extension wing was a melamine mdf, a warped one at that. This will probably not last long as we cut a lot of sheet goods and will have to order a steel replacement in a year. Overall a decent saw.
the table saw is amazing. plenty of power with a quiet motor. I was not happy with the assembly. I had two manuals telling me different things and in the end I had to buy new hardware to make the table legs work correctly. The blade and the main table align perfectly without adjustment so that was great to see.
This has been great so far i really like it . I would recommend this to anyone .
I got my saw a few weeks ago and now have it set up and running. I went to check the alignment and got a surprise. I put my dial indicator on the blade to check the run out and the needle did not move. I thought my indicator was stuck, but it wasn't. It was dead on. I checked the other alignments and they were all right on the money. The saw was easy to set up, even by myself with no help. I could not be happier. The fence was very good, better than what I was used to. The only thing I could see that could be better was the curser. The parallax was more than I would like to see. Thanks for a great saw.
I got more than I paid for and better than anything else twice it's price. I've been a professional Industrial Maintenance Tech for many years, and setting up machines is nothing new to me. Set up with this was a bit more difficult than I expected until I went out and replace all of the SAE ungraded nuts and bolts with quality grade 8 plated hardware. After doing that set up was a breeze and everything dialed in perfectly. If it wasn't for the ungraded hardware, I would give it a 5+, but as it comes in the crate I'll give it a 4.5.
Just change out the hardware and you'll have a GREAT machine. Only one small gripe from me is something to brag about for sure.

Why I Believe in Scouting for Girls
by Mary Roberts Rinehart
Girls are great idealists. No one familiar with the working of the girl mind can fail to recognize how quickly they respond to ideals. They dream dreams, not of success, but of happiness. They look up rather than out. But they are vague and uncertain, full of wistful yearnings that lead nowhere. Given a cause and a leader, and they will bring to it an almost pathetic eagerness, staunchness, loyalty, enthusiasm and unselfish effort. There comes... more...
The Girl Scouts: A Training School for Womanhood
by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin
I am heartily interested in the Girl Scouts of America. The fact is, I think I was always a Girl Scout myself (although the name was unknown); yes, from the very beginning. Even my first youthful story was "scouty" in tone, if I may invent a word. Then for a few years afterward, when I was "scoutingly" busy educating little street Arabs in San Francisco, I wrote books, too, for and about younger children, but there came a... more...

Hold Up Your Heads, Girls! : Helps for Girls, in School and Out
