Canadian rider invited to next Yamaha VR46 Master Camp
August 9, 2019 (Toronto, ON) - Yamaha Motor Canada is pleased to announce that Canadian amateur racer Jake LeClair has been selected to attend the 8th edition of the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp, based out of Valentino Rossi's VR46 Motor Ranch in Tavullia, Italy this coming September.
The VR46 Master Camp is designed to give young Yamaha stars a boost by enhancing their riding skills and professionalism, enabling them to make the next step in their racing careers.
"There really are no words to describe this opportunity," said LeClair, who received the news via Tomas Casas, current top bLU cRU athlete and previous Master Camp attendee. "There is only one VR46 Camp, and I am going!"
LeClair, 18, became Yamaha's first-ever bLU cRU Factory Ride Award winner in the discipline of road racing in 2018. He was the inaugural champion in the Amateur Lightweight Sport Bike category of the Canadian Superbike Championship (CSBK) that same year, and currently sits second in CSBK Amateur Sport Bike on his Yamaha YZF-R6 – an impressive feat in his first year on 600-class machinery.
The Blackstock, ON teenager becomes just the second Canadian invited to the VR46 Master Camp after Casas in early 2017. Since attending, Casas has won two consecutive CSBK Pro Sport Bike titles and is Yamaha's flagship Canadian Superbike racer.
"With all that Tomas has accomplished since being at the camp, I feel privileged and honoured to have this opportunity," beamed LeClair. "I have watched numerous videos online and know only a select few get chosen from around the world to go. VR46 is all about success, so what better place to learn than at Valentino Rossi's personal facility!"
LeClair and a handful of other young Yamaha riders from around the world will spend the week training with VR46 Riding Academy instructors on riding technique, bike control, balance, fitness, technical skills, presentation and more.
You can follow Jake's progress during September's VR46 Master Camp on Yamaha Motor Canada's Instagram (@yamahamotorcanada) and Twitter (@YamahaMotorCa) accounts.

ROSSI RIDES TO STUNNING SECOND IN CLOSE COTA CONTEST
A perfectly sunny race day at the Circuit of The Americas (COTA) delivered nothing short of a sensational Grand Prix of The Americas. Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP's Valentino Rossi put his heart and soul into today's race and only just missed out on the victory, taking 2nd position. Maverick Viñales had an equally competitive race pace, but a ride through penalty after a jump start cost him valuable time and places. Still the Spaniard kept going, cutting through the rider pack all the way back up to 11th place.
Rossi rushed off the line, dashing towards the tight left first corner, just like he planned. He knew that if he wanted to challenge for the win today, he would have to push 100% right from the very start. He was doing a superb job to block Cal Crutchlow, whilst chasing Marc Márquez.
With 15 laps to go, The Doctor got a bit of breathing space as Crutchlow crashed out. At the time Márquez was almost 3s ahead of him, but the Italian never gave up. He searched for the perfect balance between keeping the pressure on and managing his tyres, and it paid off. Márquez crashed out with 12 laps to go, giving Yamaha the lead in the race.
The events also spurred on the chasing Álex Rins, but Rossi managed the gap until, with five laps to go, the battle for the victory was on. Rins came through a lap later. The veteran tried to retaliate, using a block pass, but it was unsuccessful and resulted in 0.5s gap. The number 46 rider was making a great attempt to undo the damage, inching closer, but he ran wide with two laps to go, meaning he had to do the work all over again. He wasn't giving up, though. In the last lap Rossi managed to make up a lot of time and was looking threatening behind Rins in the final sector, but ultimately he came just 0.462s short as they crossed the finish line.
Viñales held firm at the start of Round 3, defending his P6 going into turn 1. He battled with Andrea Dovizioso and crossed the line for the first time in seventh place. With 17 laps to go, Viñales had to let Franco Morbidelli past, and more bad news was on the horizon as he was given a ride through penalty for a jump start.
A moment of confusion lost him 4s and five places, as he unnecessarily took the long-lap penalty lane. He completed the ride through penalty in pit lane on the next lap, which moved him even further back, to 19th place.
Though down the order, the Spaniard wasn't out for the count. He soon flashed a red sector and started to climb up the ranking again. Whilst various riders retired from the race, he passed Hafizh Syahrin and found himself in P16, nearly back into the points and lapping more than 1s quicker than a group of nine riders ahead of him. He soon gained two more places, closed an almost 4s gap, took another two positions, closed a 5s gap, and overtook yet another rider to salvage an 11th place finish, 34.077s from first.
Today's results see Rossi climb to 2nd position in the championship standings with a 3-point gap to first. Viñales is now in 12th place, with a 40-point margin to the top. Yamaha is joint second in the constructor standings, and Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP is also second in the team classifications.
The team will be back in action in three weeks' time, when the MotoGP paddock embarks upon the European leg of the championship, starting with the Spanish GP, held at the Circuito de Jerez - Ángel Nieto.

SUCCESSFUL END TO PRESEASON TESTING FOR MONSTER ENERGY YAMAHA MOTOGP
Losail (Qatar), 25th February 2019 - Today the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team completed the third and final day of the last 2019 MotoGP preseason test. Despite less than desirable riding conditions, Maverick Viñales let his consistency shine again and set the fastest time of the day, also claiming top billing in the combined timesheets. Valentino Rossi likewise elevated his bike's performance level and finished his preseason campaign with a positive fourth place in today's ranking order, and a fifth in the combined times.
Viñales didn't let the strong wind get to him and was focused as ever on getting the job done. He successfully worked on acceleration and set a stunning 1'54.208s on lap 25/50. He went on to complete five further runs, until a little after 9pm local time, and wrapped up the test in first place, both in today's and in the combined standings, with a 0.233s margin over his closest rival.
Rossi found his strong form again during the third day of riding at the Losail International Circuit. He laid a final hand to the setting of his YZR-M1 and showed he is on the right track when he improved his fastest time to a 1'54.651s, set on lap 35/38. He finished in fourth place in today's rankings and in fifth in the combined, 0.443s from teammate.
Thanks to the progress made today, the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team find themselves in a strong place to start the 2019 MotoGP season at the first round in Qatar, held from 8 - 10 March.
MASSIMO MEREGALLI, TEAM DIRECTOR "In the end, this test has been very productive. We came here to confirm the good points we found in Sepang. The riders' feedback has been positive, even though the condition of the track has never been good during these three days. As this was an aspect that caused us to suffer in the past, we're satisfied with our performance. Maverick has been impressive throughout the test, both with his best flying lap, a 1'54.2s, and his consistency. Vale, however, suffered a problem on Day 2, but today they were able to solve the issue and we found a good improvement, resulting in a 1'54.6s. We were able to try different items, including a new rear seat with different aerodynamics. We weren't able to complete our entire schedule - due to the strong and bothersome wind – the race simulation included. Our engineers will use the coming break to analyse all the data in order to finalise the best set-up for FP1, that we are really looking forward to."
MAVERICK VIÑALES, MONSTER ENERGY YAMAHA MOTOGP RIDER "Honestly, I have been riding really good on the track, I felt like I was going very fast with the amount of grip that the track provided today. But we need to improve. I don't have really good grip on the edge, so we need to keep working, especially in that area. On the acceleration side we improved quite a lot since Sepang, and at the moment I'm quite satisfied with what we have in the braking area. My race pace is not bad, I tried ten laps just to understand how the bike is doing, but it was very cold for the medium tyres. Anyway, I rode quite well, with quite a good rhythm. Maybe I could have pushed a little more. However, we still need to improve for the race. I think we are going to be ready. The race will be very important for us. Our bike has really positive points, but also a few negatives, so we now need to come to a conclusion and see where we can improve."
VALENTINO ROSSI, MONSTER ENERGY YAMAHA MOTOGP RIDER "Today was a good day, we worked in a good way and I was quite strong. Also, with the race tyres my pace is quite good, and in the time-attack I was also OK. I'm in P5 at the end of the three days, which is not so bad. For me, also the race pace is quite good, although I think we will need something more to be able to try to fight. But today we already closed the gap by a lot, as we put it all together, with all the staff. I think that, for this night, we're done, and we'll see in two weeks if it's enough."

MOVISTAR YAMAHA MOTOGP CONCLUDE POSITIVE VALENCIA TEST
VALENCIA (SPAIN), 21ST NOVEMBER 2018 Despite having to sit out the first three hours of available track time in the pit box again, waiting for the riding conditions to improve, the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Team were able to complete most of their testing programme on the second day of testing at the Circuito de la Comunitat Valenciana - Ricardo Tormo.
Similar to yesterday, Maverick Viñales and Valentino Rossi both spent all their testing time getting familiar with the new engine evolution.
Following the same procedure as yesterday, Viñales made his way out on track with more than four hours on the clock. The Spaniard picked up his work on the 2019 engine spec where he had left off and, despite a small crash, proceeded to gradually better his time throughout the day. He rode a total of 57 laps and improved on his personal best from the first day by 0.659s, setting a 1'30.757s lap on his 50th try. He ended the session leading the rankings with a 0.133s advantage over his closest rival. This result puts him in first position in the combined test timesheets.
Rossi arrived at the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP pit box around the same time as his teammate, heading out on track in the afternoon. The Doctor was very focused on getting his YZR-M1's new engine in perfect shape ahead of the 2019 season. He completed 63 laps in total and set a 1'31.371s after completing two-thirds of his testing programme, which was enough to keep him in ninth position in the rankings, 0.614s from today's best time. The lap also earned him ninth place in the overall Valencia test results, as almost all MotoGP riders improved on their best effort on the second day.
MASSIMO MEREGALLI TEAM DIRECTOR: "We've made a very productive start to the 2019 pre-season, and we have quite a few things to be positive about. Our wish for some dry testing time was granted, though we had to wait until the afternoon on both days. Still, the hours on track allowed us to get a lot of work done. As announced during the Valencia GP weekend, Maverick and Valentino focused mainly on comparing the new engine evolution to the 2018 engine. The new engines improve the engine braking, and the acceleration is smoother. Both riders really only concentrated on comparing the engines, without touching the chassis setting. They both gave positive and similar feedback on what we tried during this test. We managed to do 60% of what we had scheduled. So far we're on the right path. Next up is the two-day test at Jerez that will be crucial in preparing for the 2019 season. We're heading in the right direction, so that's our motivation to keep working hard."
MAVERICK VIÑALES MOVISTAR YAMAHA MOTOGP RIDER: "It has been a positive test. We've been working a lot on improving for the first lap of the race. I'm actually really happy because from the first lap I felt good grip and I could push. There's still work to do to further improve the engine braking and the smoothness of the power, so that's what we will work on in Jerez. It was unlucky that we couldn't ride all day, like we had planned. We couldn't test the engines very well, so we're going to decide after Jerez which of the two we choose. As I said, we need to try more, to be more convinced about the engine decision, but I think we're on the right track. We need to focus on the riding style and getting a smoother bike will be very important, especially when there's no grip during the race, but there is an upgrade coming that will help a lot. In these last two days I only focused on the engine and didn't touch anything concerning the setting. I think we could have improved the set-up for Valencia a lot, but I'm happy that just focusing on the engine we improved by some tenths."
VALENTINO ROSSI MOVISTAR YAMAHA MOTOGP RIDER: "We were able to improve compared to yesterday, but unfornately our opponents were able to improve more. Today was a bit more difficult. We tried a different engine and a different spec, but it was similar to the one we tried yesterday so they have more or less the same performance. For now we keep the same material, and next week we will try it again at another track, in Jerez, so there we'll try to understand it in a better way. After that we have to wait for next year. The test in Jerez is important because in the GP there in May we weren't very fast. We need to understand if we're stronger now."

MOVISTAR YAMAHA PUT UP FIERCE FIGHT IN THE MALAYSIAN GP
Movistar Yamaha MotoGP's Maverick Viñales pushed to the max during today's Shell Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix, putting on a brave ride from 11th on the grid to 4th position over the finish line. Valentino Rossi had a heroic run at the Sepang International Circuit, but it ended in heartbreak on lap 17 when he crashed out of the lead. He was able to rejoin the race and took the chequered flag in 18th place.
Viñales started from 11th on the grid and soon found himself in 10th position. After warming up his tyres on the first two laps, he began his charge. His pace was as strong as the front group, meaning he had no problems cutting through the field, though there was a lot of ground to be made up.
With nine laps to go he took over sixth place from Andrea Dovizioso. The Spaniard didn't waste any time to also pass Dani Pedrosa. He was trying to close the gap to Álex Rins but was unable to catch him. As his teammate at the front made a small mistake, Viñales crossed the line in fourth place, 4.667s from first.
Rossi had a perfect start from second, taking the hole shot and holding the lead superbly. He had a stunning consistent pace that allowed him to make a clean getaway from his pursuers.
Though his advantage went up and down over the first half of the race, there was no one who could really reach Rossi at the front, let alone make an attempt at passing the nine-time World Champion. However, in the final ten laps the heat and the tyre degradation meant Marc Márquez was closing in.
The Doctor responded by picking up the pace and defended his first place brilliantly, but a small mishap in Turn 1 on lap 17 caused him to slide down the tarmac. He was able to rejoin the race in 18th place and finished in the same position, 58.288s from first.
Today's results see Rossi hold on to third position in the championship standings with a 25-point gap to second. Viñales, in fourth place, reduced the gap to his teammate to 2 points. Yamaha is still in third place in the Constructor Championship after the race in Malaysia, with a 38-point margin to second, while the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Team remain in second position in the team standings, with now a 39-point gap to first.
The Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Team will be back in action at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in two weeks' time for the final showdown of 2018, the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana, held from November 16th - 18th.

ROSSI TAKES FRONT ROW AS RAIN SPOILS SEPANG QUALIFYING DAY
After a lengthy wait, due to a monsoon rain shower that hit the Sepang International Circuit directly at the end of FP4, the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP teammates were happy to get underway in qualifying. With no prior track time in wet conditions, they had to judge the limit to perfection in the 15-minute shoot-out. Valentino Rossi used his experience to put in a late charge to secure third position on the grid. Although Maverick Viñales made steady progress throughout the session, he will start tomorrow's race from eleventh place.
Rossi opened his qualifying challenge with a 2'13.917s, for a provisional fourth place, but soon found himself in seventh position as the pace picked up. He didn't improve on his next two tries and returned to the pits with slightly more than four minutes remaining.
A lightning fast stop later, the Doctor resumed his time-attack. He was able to put in one more hot lap, and he made it count. He had dropped down to eighth place, but made a brilliant comeback on his final try, shooting up to second with a 2'13.009s, 0.848s from first. Though he was pushed back to third position after the chequered flag went out, he still looks forward to starting tomorrow's race from the first row.
Viñales was thankfully OK after he got caught out at the end of FP4 by the sudden rain, but due to the incident he needed a couple of laps to get back into the groove in Q2. He was on a no-stop strategy, allowing him to use the available track time to the fullest. He held tenth place for the first half and consistently topped his personal best time on his final three attempts, as his feeling improved. However, he wasn't able to make progress in terms of grid position. He ended the session in eleventh place, with a 2'14.856s fastest lap, 2.695s from pole.
Pole sitter Marc Márquez was later penalised by Race Direction, following an incident in Q2 involving Andrea Iannone. He was demoted to seventh position, meaning Rossi moves up to second place on the grid.
Tomorrow's time schedule has been amended to prevent similar delays as the MotoGP field experienced today due to weather and track conditions. MotoGP's Warm Up will be held from 08:40 – 09:00 (local track time: GMT+8) and the race will get underway at 13:00.

RU Lutherans · 26. September 2021
Sergey Holzwert New Dean in Kaliningrad

New Dean Serves on Both Fringes of European Russia
K a l i n i n g r a d – When entering the nave of Kaliningrad's "Church of the Resurrection" on 19 September, it became immediately clear that a new wind was blowing. The church's "eternal" near-lockdown had become a thing of the past. The chairs had been moved closer together; only a minority was still wearing masks. At the festive table after the service, the guests sat together tightly. The congregation had not experienced anything of the kind since the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020.
The occasion for the joyful event was the confirmation of the new dean (sometimes translated as "provost") in the Lutheran deanery of Kaliningrad, Sergey Ivanovich Holzwert ("Goltsvert" in Russian), from Sterlitamak just west of the Urals. He was confirmed by Dietrich Brauer, Moscow Archbishop of the "Evangelical Lutheran Church in Russia" (ELCR). The day before, Kaliningrad's synod had elected Holzwert as its new dean.
Asked about his greatest hope, the new dean did not need time to hesitate: "May peace return," he blurted out. "We want peace. The pandemic is over and we now need to restart everything. Conferences and inter-congregational gatherings will again take place; everything shall be put in order." He added: "We also want to organise concerts in the church so the congregation can earn some income again. A firm from Saint Petersburg that organises church concerts wants to help us."
Now Holzwert sees it as his very first task to familiarise himself with his new church environment: "We as a church may work slowly, but we're always moving forward." Propst Holzwert knows German and expects a lively exchange with Protestant circles from Germany and elsewhere.
How could the Dean accept a service location so far from home? "I am the Lord's soldier," he assured. "We are pastors, and wherever the church calls us to serve, we go."
Sergey Holzwert knows something about stress, for his church has entrusted him with three deaneries at once! When taking over the Kaliningrad deanery, he was allowed to hand over the North Caucasus deanery based in Krasnodar. He took over that deanery only two years ago. He will remain head of the deaneries in Bashkortostan (based in Ufa) and Orenburg. "It is agreed that I will visit the other two deaneries for two weeks per quarter," he explained. According to statutes, the Kaliningrad dean is to serve as pastor of the congregation at his place of assignment - the "Church of the Resurrection".
The new dean studied theology in Omsk in 1999-2000 and in the Lutheran seminary in Novosaratovka near Petersburg from 2005 to 2007. Bishop Siegfried Springer of Germany (deceased 2019) ordained him in his first congregation - Sterlitamak - in 1999. Although Holzwert was born in Sterlitamak on 28 July 1969, he spent large parts of his childhood and youth in Moldova and Odessa/Ukraine.
Today, the Holzwert family is already putting down roots in Kaliningrad region. Their 18-year-old son German has just begun studies at Kaliningrad University; his older brother, 22-year-old Daniel, is married in Bashkortostan region. In 1998, Sergey Holzwert married Aksana; unfortunately, she will not be able to make the move westward before May 2022. That delay is related to her current job.
Other personnel issues
The new deputy dean and thus Holzwert's right-hand man is Alexey Chizhov, pastor of the Salzburg Church in Gussev. The new head of the Dean's Council is Irina Novasyolova from the Kaliningrad congregation. Besides Holzwert and Chizhov there are two active female pastors in the deanery: Lena Kurmyshova in Bolshaya Polyana and Natalia Chizhova in Gussev. Unofficially, the deanery has less than 500 active members in some 30 parishes and congregations.
After six years of service (two electoral terms), Igor Ronge has stepped down as dean. He was present neither at the synod nor at the confirmation of his successor. Holzwert states that the previous dean nevertheless remains open to continued service within the ELCR. Whether and where this can take place is being left to the discretion of the Archbishop in Moscow. The future place of service could be far removed from Kaliningrad region.
Provost Holzwert can be reached through the Dean's office: (007-4012) 956 001. The eMail address is: "propstei_klg(at)mail.ru". The secretary Daria Nedbay speaks German.

Mick Fleetwood's thoughts on Fleetwood Mac releasing a new album...
By: Kirsty McCormack
Mick Fleetwood 'Clinton never asked if he could use 'Don't Stop' for his election campaign'
FORMER US President Bill Clinton never asked Fleetwood Mac if he could use one of their songs for his election campaign, it's been revealed.
Drummer and co-founder of the band, Mick Fleetwood, has admitted that the group never received a call from Clinton regarding the use of their hit 'Don't Stop,' but that they actually didn't mind that he had chosen it.
"I think we were fine with it," the 66-year-old star told Absolute radio in an exclusive interview. "The only person who, in a comedic sense, John is not politically connected to Bill's side of the fence, everyone else happened to be a supporter of the Democratic party to whatever avail that might be. It was a form of flattery, the highest form."
Fleetwood Mac are currently in Europe on their world tour, and last week played several nights at London's O2 Arena.
The group are clearly loving being back on stage together, and last Friday were joined onstage by former band member Christine McVie - who actually wrote 'Don't Stop' - but Mick isn't entirely sure when a new album will be on the cards.
"I think it is too early to say that is what is happening," he told the radio station. "Do I aspire, and I can speak on behalf of Lindsey who truly aspires to the dream of, I think it would be a really lovely.
"This door is closing at some point. I don't know whether it is five years or seven years or it could be eighteen months, but I hope that whenever that happens that it is done gracefully, and I hope that we show people, not for commercial needs at all, because it is not about and we probably wouldn't anyhow, but just the fact that we have made an album I think would be really important before the thought of closing the shop down, whenever that might be.
"I aspire to that, and I applaud the thought of that happening," he added.
Listen to the full interview on Absolute Radio's Sunday Night Music Club on October 13 from 10pm here.

It appears a new Fleetwood Mac album will only happen if Stevie gets on board.
If Mick and Lindsay want to do a new Mac album, they should hire Dave Stewart to co-produce.
it wouldn't take much to convince Stevie to do a Mac album if Dave was producing it.
Stevie outright said that the next Mac album she does she wants Dave Stewart on the project.
5 years? 7 years? They all need to get a grip and realize they are OLD PEOPLE. If they want to do a record they need to get on that now. Then again, if it's anything like Say You Won't and that dreadful and EP they can take as long as they want.
SAY YOU WILL is a fantastic 11 song album with 7 additional B-side grade clunkers that should have been left off the CD.
As good as the good is on this CD, the clunkers are terrible and blemish the overall project so much that people make a joke of the name (Say You Won't).
Reminds me of a friend who, after hearing "Street Angel", calls it "Dirt Angel" because like "Say You Will", it suffers big-time from the clunkers that were included in the CD.
Burn a CD-R with the good songs from "Say You Will" and you will hear a very good and catchy sequence of pop tunes.
I love almost all of Say You Will, the EP is dull and if Dave Stewart knocks all the rough edges off of a FM album like he did the disappointing In Your Dreams then it will be a dud as well. Can anyone see Lindsey co-producing with him? Seriously?
Well on another note, that's why i love John!
Say you will, is not a bad Cd at all I think its pretty good, lets face it if you are waiting for another Rumors cd it not going to happen. Those kinds of albums come once in a lifetime time. They here negative comments and it discourges them for wanting to do it for their fans. So if you are a real fan then you would except any new art that they will make at this point of there careers.It will come out great. As for Lindsey having Dave as a co producer, I totally agree that not going to happen we will not have a new album with dave doing that.i don't see that happening either. I mean In your dreams is great and dave did a great job with it but Lindsey is more than capable of making great music with stevie's songs for fm. even those stevie wants that Lindsey not going for that one and i think stevie knows that.
I think the result could be very interesting. The real dud would be not to get a new Mac CD at all. The one element Dave can deliver to a new Mac CD is the one element Lindsey can't: Stevie Nicks. Without her, SAY YOU WILL will be the Mac's final full-length LP.
I wasn't disappointed at all when I first listened to Say You Will, there are some incredible songs on that album. Nowadays when I listen to it, I tend to skip over certain songs. There is a perfect eleven or twelve song album buried in there. Funny though, I thought the producers picked the wrong songs to release as singles. "Peacekeeper" and "Say You Will" weren't very interesting compared to some of the other tracks. "Thrown Down" and "Red Rover" would have been better choices. At any rate, I hope my favorite band does get together to record one more album of new material - and I hope they include Christine McVie - even if they have to record the album in London. I want to hear their beautiful, three part harmonies on some new songs. Who cares if Christine won't do a world tour with the Mac, they could perform together in London and release it on DVD/Blueray/iTunes. - Mark
I have been a Fleetwood Mac fan for 35yrs. But if they would do another Album and its the Lindsey Buckingham show case like the EP. Please, just skip it.
I prefer Stevie in solo form. She feels more like herself. I've said this many times: I had no idea how special "IYD" was until it was over. Now it feels like there's this big, empty space because it just felt so genuinely "Stevie" during that period. From the moment people started saying she was back in the studio to standing in line at the premiere of the documentary, those two years were magical for me - and probably all of us. But I also know it'll never happen that way again. It was so special for Stevie to invite us into her home and let us take a look behind the curtain as she recorded her album, albeit the documentary was pretty glossy and highly edited - it was still amazing to be with her in her house and element.
So, do I care if there's another FM album? No - not unless Christine is involved. I would much rather Stevie finally bow out and spend the rest of her time on her solo material. Her solo work has always seemed so much more important to her, imo.
If there's another, last FM I don't want Dave Stewart to produce it - not because he didn't do a great job on IYD, but because I want the sound to be quintessential FM. As for SAY YOU WILL, I really don't understand the negativity. It's a great album that the band can be proud of. Yes, I too skip over certain songs but you expect that in a double album. It just sounds different because it was made in a different era and Christine's gone. I think it's a brave and daring record and it its best it matches the best of the past. SYW has a chilling loneliness about it (DESTINY RULES, SAY GOODBYE) that's hard to describe.
To be more specific about SYW - cut MURROW, ILLUME. COME, MIRANDA, SILVER GIRL and GOODBYE BABY and you've got a comeback album every bit as tight as RUMOURS. It's not that I necessarily dislike all of these songs, but they're non-essential.

I saw Fleetwood Mac at the St. Paul stop of the current tour and the band sounds much better live today than they did in 2009 or 2003/2004. I feel like the three years (2010-2013) she spent recording/promoting/touring for 'In Your Dreams' really energized Stevie and made her really want to go back to Fleetwood Mac.
However, as amazing as this tour has been I'm ambivalent on another Fleetwood Mac record. I really enjoyed 'EP,' and I wouldn't mind more "EP" releases from the Mac as long as there's an equalized Stevie presence to compliment Lindsey. I really enjoy 'Say You Will' - now. I did not at first. For years it sounded like two solo records smashed together with too much Lindsey Buckingham production. Lindsey is a musical genius for sure, but Christine's absence from 'SYW' really underscored how much her musical sensibilities balanced Lindsey out. 'SYW' is also too long. While I now enjoy the entire record - even the bonus tracks - it's too long. 'IYD' was the perfect length at fourteen tracks, and I feel like even if Christine McVie decided to record with the Mac again, that album should not be more than 12-14 tracks.
To this day when I listen to 'SYW' I can hear where Christine SHOULD HAVE BEEN. Yes, she retired from performing and I respect her decision to do so. The woman most certainly paid her rock n' roll dues many times over. That record has a lot of quality Mac tracks, and some really great songs by Stevie and Lindsey that would have perhaps sounded better on their respective solo albums. Commercially speaking I understand why Christine was not invited to/chose not to record with the Mac for 'SYW.' As great as the band still is, they are not commercial top 40 radio material anymore. That market is dominated by the teen-early 30s crowd.
This tour is proof positive that Mac makes its bread and butter on tour. The band made over $6 million in three nights in London. Combine that with the 47 North American shows, the rest of Europe and Australia and the band is likely to end the year somewhere around $80M. What if Christine had recorded with the band for 'SYW' but did not tour? Past Mac albums have proven that most of the band's commercially viable, radio-friendly singles come from Christine.
And while 'Say You Will' has grown on me over the years I think I would almost prefer Stevie and Lindsey to go back to their respective solo careers unless an outside producer is hired. As musically genius as he is, Lindsey seems to become really full of himself once he goes into production mode. Christine's return would be spectacular, and while she's stated she wants to make music again, I think a return to Fleetwood Mac is unrealistic.
Here's hoping, at least, she could at least record an 'EP' with the band...
I've enjoyed all their albums, and some of the EP. Any new music from them, in any form, would be greatly appreciated!

I hate myself sometimes. I have no control of my feelings at times. I see things, people, pictures that are supposed to be cute or funny and I don't feel that.
Case in point, the following picture appeared on social media.
I understand the point. I know it's supposed to be funny. It's a comic. But I don't feel funny.
I feel pain, sorrow, and sadness.
I hate myself for it because I can't control it. I feel so sad for him. My heart aches. I hate pain and suffering. I feel it from all different sources. I sympathize with people who are in positions of hurt.
I can't stop the sudden feeling of dread followed by pain, internal pain.
Hug a pony my friends. I am just too sensitive….


This year was the first year the Bonnet House Museum and Gardens hosted the Festival of Trees.The beautiful historic home and gardens were filled with holiday decorations. Mary Belle donated a Victorian Christmas tree that was displayed in this beautiful setting. Her tree was decorated with 100 hand painted porcelain ornaments. Each ornament was painted with china paints, fused glass, and 14K gold. The tree was auctioned off and found a wonderful home in Fort Lauderdale.


The court includes Lindsay Peterson, Laura Walker, Laura Alberg, Princess Suzy Grutkoski, Prince Dilon Louzek, Jarren Bennett, Ethan Meyer, and Avery Kosloski.
Willow River High School Snow Princess Suzy Grutkoski and Snow Prince Dilon Louzek reign over Snow Week activities at the school this week. Coronation took place Monday afternoon. A pep fest will be held at the school at 1:30 p.m. Friday, marking the end of the 2015 Snow Week festivities.


Story: Truffle was adopted along with her piggy sister Belka. A few days after her adoption she showed us her signature move of dragging lunch into her pigloo. Needless to say, this strategy makes it much more difficult for her cagemates to steal her portion - although it certainly doesn't stop them from trying.
During floor time, Truffle has been known to run at sharp angles in random directions.. perhaps because she is trying to compute complex mathematical food equations in her head.
Thanks! I did think that she looked slightly like an american shorthair, but I wasn't so sure.
Glad you enjoy the blog Tiffany! Cocoa is a cutie, I love the white spark she has running down her forehead. Based on her markings, she looks like a short-haired mix.


Prof. Yash Ghai Calls for Kibaki's Impeachment.
Is anyone surprised by this salvo from all people Prof Ghai? About the only thing he has misstated is that Kenya is not a party in the ICC case; the Kenya government of 2007 and 08 is very much an unnamed and un-indicted co-conspirator in the case and without its involvement, we will not be talking about crimes against humanity.
Although as Prof Ghai argues a case of impeachment can be made against Kibaki, I am not sure this is a good idea simply because we have relatively smaller headaches we need to take a collective aspirin and cure than trying to impeach a president on a constitution that has yet to be implemented.
Prof. Ghai has, however, done good in this article by laying bare for Kibaki and all to see the wrongfulness and unconstitutionality of his conduct one hopes it's a good jolt for the president and his cadre to stem the tide.


Testosterone Deficiency and Recent changes to PBS.
The rules and regulations for obtaining subsidized a testosterone replacement via the PBS (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) have recently changed, which is likely to mean that many men will have to pay a lot more to have these treatments.
The cut-off level for having testosterone replacement treatment is now a testosterone of <6 (previously <8), and in addition patients have to see a specialist to get treatment on the PBS, rather than just their GP. For full details see here.
The facts about testosterone replacement and hormone therapy.
Men experience a gradual fall in testosterone levels from early adulthood onwards.
Testosterone replacement may be effective in some men with a deficiency, but requires evaluation and discussion with your GP on an individual basis.
Metabolic syndrome – obesity, insulin resistance. Fat tends to convert testosterone to oestrogen.
In men with reduced testosterone secondary to other illnesses, the focus should be on lifestyle measures, such as weight loss – 10% weight loss can achieve an increased testosterone of 2-3 nmol/l; higher levels of weight loss (e.g. bariatric surgery, gastric lap band) can increase testosterone levels still further.
If benefit is going to be found, it is likely to occur within 3-6 months; therefore if no benefit, there is unlikely to be any reason to continue longer than that.
Lack of long term data – we don't know for sure how safe or risk testosterone therapy is.

West Hampstead Life Review of the Year
by Jonathan Turton / December 30, 2014 /0 Comments/in Digest, Frontpage Article /
West Hampstead is changing fast (too fast perhaps for some). Lets take a look back at the stories that made the news in 2014 (click the images to go to the full story)
12 months later, the building still hasn't been repaired. The year began with a violent storm that ripped down the tube station sign and a brewing pharmacy war in Mill Lane.
West Hampstead made the news over some pebbledash and some street "art". We also featured on Location, Location, Location, though an important detail was omitted from the programme.
Thankfully everyone got out of a Broadhurst Gardens house fire, though one woman jumped and broke her leg. Smokehouse One Sixty opened its doors, and we contrasted the sale of Stephen Fry's former house with the cheapest flat for sale in the area.
There was a false security alarm at JW3 that closed the Finchley Road, West End Lane Books celebrated its 20th anniversary, and an eviction on Lymington Road drew protestors and police.
The elections dominated May's news, as Labour won five of the six seats across West Hampstead and Fortune Green from the Lib Dems. At the pre-election hustings, it was UKIP who predictably stole the headlines after its candidate questioned whether women should have the vote.
Local vicar Father Andrew Cain married his partner Steve Foreshew. The Church of England grumbled, but for many the surprise was less that the local vicar was gay and more that his new husband was an atheist.
The first of two tetchy Liddell Road development meetings conveyed locals' displeasure with the plans as they stood. Vintage jewellery shop Passionate About Vintage opened on Mill Lane.
Three men were found guilty of murdering Sabrina Moss last year.
It was a quiet month!
The Railway closed until March 2015 as the upper floors are converted into self-contained flats. A spate of burglaries started with a break-in at Toomai. Foxtons got permission to open in the former post office building in West End Lane. Kilburn made it into the Financial Times and The Economist. Capital City motorbike shop failed to comply with an enforcement order (and has since been evicted from its Fortune Green premises). Oh, and the Hoff turned up to the Kilburn Nando's.
After years of clamouring, a butcher finally opened in West Hampstead. A rail replacement bus caused some major damage to parked cars in Broadhurst Gardens, and a snake was spotted (and captured) in Parsifal Road. The portacabin classrooms were finally rmoved from Lymington Road ater two years.
Liddell Road wasn't the only major planning application to go in over Christmas; the Overground station plans were also submitted. Posh frozen food shop Cook opened, and the air ambulance came twice to NW6 within an hour. The 85-year-old driver convicted of killing Desreen Brooks on West End Lane in November 2012 was given an 18 month jail sentence and was banned for driving for life.

Drop N Tell damage Indicators are ideal for use as export packaging. Self-adhesive impact labels may be suitable for most commercial freight but they tend to not be reliable over long journeys and storage which is so often the case with export freight.
Indicators are available in 5G/10G/15G/25G/50G/100G box quantities of 100 including shipping labels.
Drop N Tell are designed to record bad handling at the point of delivery. They record shocks and impacts equal to that times the force of gravity.
They are available in a range of sensitivities.
At one end the 5G has a very sensitive activation rate. Whereas 100G requires a much greater impact to activate.
These units each contain a lock in place arrow. This snaps into position when rough handling occurs. They leave you in no doubt as to whether your goods have received an impact or not.
Many clients have bad experiences with breakages and damage costs incurred to their shipments because of rough handling. Many choose to use these shipping labels as a visual deterrant and to encourage awareness from which every freight services you work with.
The labels feature a easy attach self adhesive but are also designed to be screwed onto wood packaging.
Supplied in different G-ranges suitable for monitoring shipments. We offer the below compatibility guidelines for different freight sensitivities. E.G. 5G = 5 x force of gravity.
Drop N Tell label 5g – Is recommended for items with high sensitivity.
Drop N Tell label 10g – Advised for use on more fragile items.
Drop N Tell label 25g – recommended for use on electronics.
Drop N Tell label 50g – recommended for use with more robust freight.
Heavy duty items that can withstand some shock.
Drop N Tell label 100g – these are advised for more heavy duty shipments.
Please note – any advise on suitable device/product compatibility are given in good faith and are by no means conclusive for all implied freight.

Academy welcomes MPs' calls for increased science and innovation spending
The Royal Academy of Engineering has today welcomed the findings of the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee, which is warning that the UK risks losing its status as a world leader in research if the government does not make a long-term commitment to increase science funding.
Since 2010, a flat-cash settlement in the science budget has seen its value fall in real terms, so that the UK spends just 1.7% of GDP on science and research - significantly less than the 2.4% OECD average. MPs are calling on the government to produce a long term 'roadmap' for increasing public and private sector research and development (R&D) investment to 3% of GDP.
Philip Greenish CBE, Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Engineering, said: "I welcome the Committee's report. The UK possesses an outstanding research base and has many of the strengths required to excel in innovation, but as a nation we are engaged in a fierce global competition for talent and investment. Many other countries are adopting assertive knowledge-driven growth strategies, and it is essential that the UK is seen to provide a favourable environment for investing in innovation. In this highly competitive and internationalised environment, the role of government in providing an effective and long-term commitment to research and innovation is more important than ever."
Professor Ric Parker CBE FREng, Chair of the Royal Academy of Engineering Research Committee and Director of Research and Technology, Rolls-Royce plc, said: "Nicola Blackwood's first report as Chair of the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee promises great things for the future. From an industrial viewpoint, she has got straight to the nub of the argument: intervention or not! As she says, 'the government should also retain the current system of innovation grants — rather than loans — as a key policy tool, alongside R&D tax credits, for de-risking innovation investment'. Superb; exactly what UK industry, large and small, wants. Without this, there will be a growing tendency to consider investment abroad; inward investment will also be dis-incentivised."
Chair of the cross-party Science and Technology, Nicola Blackwood MP, said: "Spending on science and innovation is not a state subsidy, it is a strategic investment that creates jobs, increases productivity and attracts inward investment. Committing the UK to a 3% GDP target for science spending would send a crucial signal about the long term stability and sustainability of our science and innovation ecosystem, supercharging private sector R&D investment from industry, charities and overseas investors alike."
The science budget is managed by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. Although spending for capital investment has already been set at £1.1bn a year until 2020-21, the resource budget for science and innovation will be announced as part of the government's spending review on 25 November.
The government's own research has shown than over half of productivity growth between 2000 and 2008 was due to innovation, and that firms that consistently invest in research and development were 13% more productive.
Royal Academy of Engineering. As the UK's national academy for engineering, we bring together the most successful and talented engineers for a shared purpose: to advance and promote excellence in engineering. We provide analysis and policy support to promote the UK's role as a great place to do business. We take a lead on engineering education and we invest in the UK's world-class research base to underpin innovation. We work to improve public awareness and understanding of engineering. We are a national academy with a global outlook.
We have four strategic challenges:
- Make the UK the leading nation for engineering innovation
- Address the engineering skills crisis
- Position engineering at the heart of society
- Lead the profession

My Monday Morning Cup | Uncovering the Forgotten Gospel Songs of Bob Dylan
In the early 1990s, my favorite "gospel" song was the Guns and Roses cover of the Dylan classic "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." That tidbit paints an accurate picture of where I found myself spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
In recent weeks, I began a trip rediscovering Bob Dylan. It's a journey that I am certain is far from complete. In particular, I found myself diving into what afficiando's refer to as Dylan's Christian era. That's odd, in many ways, because to the best of my knowledge, Dylan continues to a man of faith and follower of Jesus Christ. In her recent article, "The Incredible Faith of Bob Dylan," writer Lesli White shares insights from longtime Dylan friend Al Kasha, a Messianic Jew who reportedly led Dylan to Christ. Citing an interview from another source, White reports that Kasha contends that while Dylan's spiritual songs have been less prevelant in a number of years, in no way has Dylan forsaken Christianity. According to the story, Kasha believes Dylan remains strong in his steadfast belief in Jesus.
This adventure delving into the music of Dylan found its seeds in a spiritual writing course I took earlier this Summer. In the weeks since, this dive into the spiritual songs of Dylan, combined with a refresher of his whole body of work, has proved to be truly encouraging to me during a period that I have felt discouraged and disappointed at times.
I think that this is part of the fight that comes with the territory, as the Apostle Paul makes clear in his letter to the Ephesians. If you and I live our life as Christians, fulfilling our calling and purpose in accordance with the will and word of God, then it is impossible for us to escape the attacks of Satan. But even though we face many battles, we can rest with the confidence of knowing that the will and word of God are on our side and that victory is ours in Christ Jesus. The will of God isn't going to forsake us. The word of God isn't going to fail us.
I was blinded by the devil,
Born already ruined,
Stone-cold dead
As I stepped out of the womb.
By His grace I have been touched,
By His word I have been healed,
By His hand I've been delivered,
By His spirit I've been sealed.
I've been saved
By the blood of the lamb,
Saved,
And I'm so glad.
Yes, I'm so glad,
I'm so glad,
So glad,
I want to thank You, Lord,
I just want to thank You, Lord,
Thank You, Lord.
By His truth I can be upright,
By His strength I do endure,
By His power I've been lifted,
In His love I am secure.
He bought me with a price,
Freed me from the pit,
Full of emptiness and wrath
And the fire that burns in it.
Nobody to rescue me,
Nobody would dare,
I was going down for the last time,
But by His mercy I've been spared.
Not by works,
But by faith in Him who called,
For so long I've been hindered,
For so long I've been stalled.
Yes, I'm so glad, I'm so glad,
So glad, I want to thank You, Lord,
In the weeks ahead, I hope to share more of what I've learned about the faith and Bob Dylan. I'm hoping that this exploration of Dylan and his music will serve as an encouragement for you as well, especially during these COVID times and during this season of great unrest.
Yes, the Enemy is working overtime. But you know what? God is always at work, too.
For sure, I'm a different man today than I was when GNR served as my source of spiritual music. That's because God is a good God who loves us so much so that through the atoning offering of His son, Jesus Christ, you and I can change. Indeed, we can be transformed.
Know that you are loved!
More of Him, Less of me

This is a much needed promise for me today. Thank you, and God Bless.
Ranier, thanks for sharing some of Dylan's faith. His song reminds us we can be saved through the blood of Christ.
My pleasure. He has some strong songs about faith and the importance of a relationship with Jesus. I hope to share some more in the future.


Julie Wormser, Executive Director of the Boston Harbor Association.
Unlike not showing up for last week's North End/Waterfront Neighborhood Council (NEWNC) monthly meeting, a representative from a contractor hired by 7-Eleven did in fact attend the North End/Waterfront Residents' Association (NEWRA) monthly meeting also held last week.
The representative explained what the outdoor signage would be at the new 7-Eleven at 240 Hanover Street.
Apparently, there will not be neon lights anywhere on the outside of the property which will be operated by a franchisee.
The actual front of the store 7-Eleven sign will be illuminated but not brightly. The current signage and window lights will be removed.
The plans presented at the NEWRA meeting have been submitted to the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) for final approval pending neighborhood support.
NEWRA did not vote on the issue but instead decided to send a letter to the BRA expressing any concerns.
Braving 22 degree temperatures, the Nazzaro Community Center was filled with numerous residents to also hear a request to expand Modern Pastry to the adjacent building the former the site of Piccola Venezia, 262 Hanover Street.
NEWRA voted 24-0 to open a Bakery/Restaurant with takeout service at the site and 24-3 to transfer the defunct restaurant's beer, wine and cordials license to Modern Pastry. The new space will operate on the first and basement floors.
Julie Wormser, Executive Director of the Boston Harbor Association presented a slide/talk show on the expected tidal changes which have generated concerns resulting in the new preliminary flood zone FEMA maps.
She also depicted what the causes are and how rising tides will affect the North End/Waterfront in the coming years.
The next NEWRA monthly meeting will be held on Thursday, January 9 at 7pm in the Nazzaro Community Center.

Хельмут Вильберг (;  — ) — генерал авиации во время Второй мировой войны.

Биография
По происхождению наполовину еврей. Вступил в 80-й фузилёрский полк 18 апреля 1899 года. С 1906 года служил инструктором в кадетских школах в Наумбурге и Лихтерфельде. В 1911 году написал статью «Воздушная разведка в имперских манёврах 1911 года: её значение и влияние на руководство по сравнению с кавалерийской разведкой».

В 1913 году он поступил на службу в имперские ВВС и был одним из первых военных лётчиков Германской империи. В начале Первой мировой войны являлся командиром 11-го полевого авиационного батальона. Позже он служил командующим авиацией 4-й армии.

После войны его перевели в рейхсвер, где он служил до 1927 года, когда перешёл в ; он также служил в Truppenamt и в качестве начальника противовоздушной обороны. Позже он перешёл в 18-й пехотный полк в качестве командира батальона. С 1929 по 1932 годы командовал войсками в районе Бреслау. В 1920-е он восемь лет возглавлял штаб авиации рейхсвера. Герман Геринг рассматривал вопрос о назначении Вильберга начальником штаба, однако выяснилось, что у того мать еврейка. Не желая, чтобы его талант пропал даром, Геринг реклассифицировал его как «арийца», и Вильберг остался в штабе авиации, помогая составить его основную доктрину «Проведение воздушной войны», вместе с Вальтером Вефером.

В последующие годы он тайно работал над восстановлением люфтваффе, в которых служил с 1934 года. Первоначально был главой департамента в имперском министерстве авиации. В 1935 году взял на себя строительство военно-воздушного училища в Вердере, а затем и Высшего училища военно-воздушных сил в Берлине. Оказал значительное влияние на немецкую доктрину воздушной войны. В 1937 году он создал «специальную команду W», ответственную за сбор и анализ тактических уроков, извлечённых легионом «Кондор» во время гражданской войны в Испании.

Во время мобилизации для польской кампании в 1939 году был восстановлен в армии и использовался в качестве начальника авиационного учебного командования. 20 ноября 1941 года погиб в авиакатастрофе Bf.108 под Дрезденом, когда летел на похороны Эрнста Удета.

Lots of talk about the effectiveness of the fifties in REAL LIFE. Irregardless of how they are modeled in the game. In REAL LIFE, they are devestating. Notice some of the ranges these kills were made at or at least crippled the planes enough to move in and finish them.
Also, getting kind of old hearing about the Jug never reaching Berlin and not able to mix it up with the LW. Read the whole thing. These are only some of many, many accounts of the effectiveness of the Jug and how it met and beat the best of the LW using the correct tactics and discipline. These are not my words but the words of the men who fought and flew and killed and died in the Jug. If you wish to dispute them, that is your choice, but it is not mine.
a few excerpts for those who don't want to read the whole thing.
He opened fire on the trailing Focke-Wulf from 300 yards. "Suddenly a big ball of fire appeared on his left wing and then black smoke poured out," recalled Cook. "He rolled to the left, went over on his back in a gentle roll, and then went into a violent spin, with smoke pouring out from the fuselage and wing. At no time did the pilot take evasive action, and I believe he was killed."
The next day, again over Ypres, Zemke led the 61st down behind a schwarm of Focke-Wulfs, pulling within 200 yards of the enemy No. 4: "A split second after firing, the fuselage burst into flames and pieces of the right wing came off." The No. 3 twisted away with only minor hits on the starboard wing tip, but the No. 2 "sat in the gunsight as one would imagine for the ideal shot. Again, when the trigger was pulled this aircraft exploded with a long sheet of flame and smoke."
The bomber crews had good reason to be edgy: They were about to depart on one of their bloodiest missions, the first Schweinfurt-Regensburg raid. Escorting the B-17s part-way to Schweinfurt, the 56th returned to Halesworth and took on 200-gallon, pressed-paper ferry tanks converted for combat use. These upset the Jug's handling and didn't feed well in the low air pressure above 20,000 feet, but they gave the Thunderbolts enough range to meet the bombers over Germany.
They proceeded to teach a Staffel of twin-engined Messerschmitt Bf 110 night fighters (Me 110s to American fighter pilots) not to venture out in daylight. "The 61st came screaming down from the front and caught an Me 110 right over the last box of bombers," Zemke recalled. "Two P-47s shot at this guy at the same time-sixteen guns firing-and both of them hit him simultaneously. That Me 110 blew up as I've never seen anything blow up and fell, on fire, directly through the bomber formation...without hitting one of them."
"I sneaked up behind it and started to fire from about 300 yards closing to 200 yards. It blew up."
The P-47s had received new 75-gallon underwing tanks, made of metal and pressurized to feed at all altitudes.) Spotting a lone Focke-Wulf stalking a straggling B-17 several thousand feet below, Zemke dived and fired from 500 yards: "Immediately strikes were registered all over the aircraft. Surprisingly, the Focke-Wulf flew on in a straight line. Another burst brought smoke and flame and a third caused the left undercarriage leg to drop. Only then did the stricken plane fall away in a vertical dive. As no evasive action had been observed I concluded the first burst had killed the pilot."
"I closed in rapidly behind them and opened fire on one at about 700 yards range...suddenly I was right on top of the 110. I just barely had time to push the control stick forward and duck below the burning German fighter." Regaining height, Gabreski dived after a second Bf 110. "This time I slowed my approach slightly, though we were still traveling at about 420 mph when I opened fire from 600 yards. The 110 took solid hits in its wing root and rolled over into a death fall at 14,000 feet."
There was: a large enemy formation below and 40-plus ahead, including new Focke-Wulf FW 190D "long-nosed" high-altitude fighters. Sending the 61st and 63rd down to attack the Germans below, Schilling brought the 62nd around behind those ahead. "I managed to hit the right-rear Me 109 with about a 20-degree deflection shot at a range of about 700 yards." As the Messerschmitt dropped off, Schilling moved up on the next in line, setting it afire. "I then picked another and fired at about 1,000 yards and missed as he broke right and started to dive for the deck. At about 17,000 feet I had closed to about 500 yards and fired, resulting in a heavy concentration of strikes, and the pilot bailed out."
"I repeated the same tactics as before and attacked one from about 500 yards' range." As the FW 190 went spinning downward Schilling latched onto a fifth, which put up more of a fight: "He immediately took violent evasive action, and it took me several minutes of maneuvering to get in a position to fire. I fired from about 300 yards above and to the left, forcing me to pull through him and fire as he went out of sight over the cowling. ...The pilot immediately bailed out."
On June 27th Gabreski downed a Bf 109 to match Bob Johnson's score, and on July 5th latched onto the tail of another near Evreaux: "We made three turns together at 3,000 feet. I fired several bursts at him, but the angle of deflection was extreme and I saw no hits. This joker was pretty good, but he made the classic mistake when he tried to break off by diving out of the fight." Seeing Gabreski rapidly close, the German pilot belatedly broke left. "I led him two rings of deflection in my gunsight, which placed him out of sight under my nose, and opened fire." The Messerschmitt came back into view smoking; another burst finished it off.
Kills four and five for Gabreski; Schilling and Cook also scored doubles (Cook likewise achieving ace status), and Mahurin got three more Bf 110s to become the E.T.O.'s first double ace. By March 1944, with 20 kills, he ranked as its highest scorer, with Bob and Jerry Johnson right behind him. The 61st Squadron became the first in the E.T.O. with over 100 victories to its credit; the Group's tally stood at 300. That month the Luftwaffe lost 22% of its pilots, a blow from which it never really recovered, and the 56th flew a Ramrod all the way to Berlin and back without meeting a single enemy fighter.
After that the 56th's only real challengers in the air were the new Me 262 jet fighters. The Wolfpack had downed jets before, with lucky passing shots or by catching them over their runways. They'd stuck with the Jug when all other groups went to P-51s, and were sole recipients of the P-47M-up-engined to produce 465 mph (more speed than a Mustang)-with which they accepted combat on the jets' terms. On April 5th, 1945, a Wolfpack pilot actually ran down a 262 in a shallow dive. Attempting to out-turn the P-47, the German pilot was cut off and shot down.
except for the roll rate which will be fixed in the patch, i honestly have no problems with the p47. it's the only one i ever fly and the only plane i trust.
Why bother having a general discussion room?
Damage model and gunnery effectiveness are two key parts of the patch from what I understand.
Might be worth reevaluating then.
I fly FWs all the time and the .50cals cause *alot* of fuel leaks, just not many fires (or explosions). Have had wing taken off by .50cals more than once, and engine smoked some, but very rarely the black smoke that turns into fire.
In general it seems like it takes alot to start fires, whereas from reading accounts it seems like alot of hits cause fires. then again these sorts of accounts are inherently biased in that noone bothers giving an account of hits that didn't do much, and keep in mind the many accounts of various planes coming home with all kinds of hits, so it must go both ways.
If you set all your guns (IE both banks) to the same convergence and hit an enemy at that convergence they usually catch fire, fall apart, or just blow up. Its not too difficult to do, it just takes some practice.
With the P-47l, shooting skill does matter maybe more than in any other plane. And convergence. And no sideslipping at the trigger pull.
Original post moved to General Discussion forum. I'm locking this one.


January: We left Colton with Stu's parents in Kearney and enjoyed a Tri-City Storm hockey game.
February: We went out to eat at Luigi's Italian restaurant. Afterward, we went to Starbucks to enjoy a warm drink. While we were there, we took a 5 Love Languages quiz to understand each other better. I highly recommend taking the quiz and talking about the results together. You can learn so much about each other!
April: In North Platte, we are blessed with Cody Park. Among other things, they have a frisbee golf course. We played a game and then enjoyed a picnic lunch.
We couldn't pass up Cody Park ice cream, either!
May: Stu loves breweries but North Platte doesn't have one, yet. I love sports bars and bar food. So, we left C with my parents and we ate at the Chicken Coop in Grand Island. They serve Thunderhead beer and we enjoyed watching some baseball.
June: North Platte has a great vineyard, Feather River. One Friday night in June, we enjoyed "wine down night". We were able to taste several wines and I found a few new favorites! The scenic landscape is beautiful. Right here in Nebraska.
So there you have it. A half year of date ideas! Happy dating!!!

International Women's Day Assembly
International Women's Day, held annually on 8 March, celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women. This year, the theme is Be Bold For Change.
Our International Women's Day Assembly, held on Monday 6 March, took its inspiration from this theme, and we share with you extracts from the courageous voices of our representative students who wrote and delivered the following Reflection and Prayer.
Student Reflection by Evie Mullins, Year 11
"I believe that MGGS provides girls a safe environment where we can challenge our ideas and ways of thinking. In this environment, we can be inspired and empowered to create change. We are in a privileged position, I am very aware of this. I started my school life at MGGS as a boarder and this school has made me see all the opportunities that I would otherwise have never known. However, this privilege that we have been gifted with means nothing if we are not active in pursuing change. MGGS has given us opportunities, has inspired us, has provoked us and has challenged us. It is now our responsibility to be bold and make that change happen.
I want to be clear and say that this does not mean that we must all become human rights activists, or even extreme feminists. What I am suggesting is that you should all think about what you want to change in this world and how you want to leave your mark in this world. Be bold, step forward, like Madeleine Albright once said, "it took quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent."
It can be fashionable to be bold about human rights, feminism and other things but if that is not what you are passionate about, it will be hard to remain determined, driven and positive. It can feel tiring and hopeless to attempt everything with boldness. That is why it is important to choose what you believe needs this attention, decide what you really want to change and be active in advocating for it.
MGGS is advocating for girls' involvement in STEM: personally I find this an area of interest and I am excited to be involved in subjects like Algorithmics because I think having more women in this field is an important initiative. However, this does not mean that you all must be involved in algorithmics, Maths and technology subjects. MGGS is not trying to make an entire cohort of students have identical interest, instead, MGGS is trying to give girls every opportunity to succeed in any area they want. I hope that you will be bold in finding your own passion, engage with school to the best of your abilities and be bold and demand change that you see as necessary.
Our School is passionate about certain values that it has acquired over its long history, from the strong women who have led before us. Our School asks you to respect these values but it also encourages you to form your own – remember that one of our School Values is courage, so be bold. Find your voice and never be silent."
Student Prayer by Isabella Barclay, Year 11
"God of Grace,
We thank you for giving us this day to come together as an MGGS community to recognise and celebrate International Women's Day. We thank you for the bold women who have always been a part of our School's history, and for the opportunities that we who attend this school have been blessed with. May we not take this for granted.
We come here before you today as women of the present, and we pray for a future for women that are yet to be. We pray that women of all nations and of all races believe that they deserve to be treated with respect, that they have courage to stand up for what they believe are their rights, and strive towards a more equitable world for all.
May they have the strength and support of the people around them, and may the men in their lives hear their voices and be moved to join them in action. In times of trouble, debate, and injustice, let all members of the community unite to overcome these obstacles together. While the road ahead will not be without its challenges, we pray for your guidance every step of the way.
We pray this though Jesus Christ our Lord,
#BeBoldForChange

It's true for fescue, too
By Hay and Forage Grower
Volumes have been written about the importance of cutting alfalfa on time. Truth be told, it may be even more critical for grasses.
Jimmy Henning, extension forage agronomist with the University of Kentucky, points to research from the University of Tennessee that is a compelling example of how harvest timing drives future animal performance. He writes about the research in the most recent UK Forage News newsletter.
The research compared three cutting maturities for tall fescue: late boot/early heading, early heading, and early milk/seed formation. The hay of each maturity was then fed to 500-pound Holstein heifers.
Not surprisingly, the early-cut fescue had the highest forage quality with a digestibility of 68 percent and a crude protein content of 13.8 percent (see table below). Digestibility dropped to 66 percent for the mid-maturity fescue and to 56 percent for the late cutting. Crude protein declined to 10.2 percent for the mid-maturity hay and 7.6 percent for the late cutting.
Heifers fed the early-cut hay ate 13 pounds per day. This contrasted to 11.7 and 8.6 pounds for the mid-maturity and late maturity hays, respectively.
The amount of gain between the heifer groups was dramatic. Henning points out that even though there was an 11-day gap between cuttings, digestibility only dropped by 17 percent from early to late. However, over the 22-day span, average daily gain dropped from 1.39 to 0.42 pound per day. That's a 70 percent reduction.
Feed efficiency was also highest for the early-cut hay at 10.1 pounds of hay fed per pound of gain. This number more than doubled for the late-cut fescue.
Henning explains that the early cutting not only resulted in significantly better animal performance, it also allowed for more regrowth days before the heat of summer sent the tall fescue into dormancy. "This ensured a high-quality second cutting or grazing event even though forage yield was somewhat reduced in the earlier cut treatment," Henning explains.
The forage specialist points to this study as a lesson in the fact that small differences in maturity can make big differences in cattle performance and your bottom line.

NEW YORK—De Buck Gallery is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition of Pino Pinelli titled "PITTURA." The exhibition will be on view from July 20th, 2017, through August 25th, 2017, and an opening reception will be held at the gallery on Thursday, July 20th, from 6-8PM. The exhibition will present 7 artworks that are site-specific to De Buck Gallery 2 exhibition space.
Pinelli's works explore the essence of painting itself through the innovative use of materials and formal experiments. The artist uses mixed-media geometric forms, which mimic outlines or geometric trails. Pinelli was one of the leading artists of Analytical Painting, defined by art critic Filiberto Menna; he characterized the interest in the material components of the painting and the relationship between the painting itself. Pinelli studied art in Catania, and then moved to Milan in 1963, where he became attracted to the artistic debates of influential artists such as Piero Manzoni, Lucio Fontana, and Enrico Castellani, as well as other artists from the Zero group.
In the early 1970's Pinelli began paring down his works developing a series of monochrome paintings. From 1973 his works are titled simply "Painting," followed by the first letter of their color (R for red). Pinelli's "Topologies" and "Monochromes" series focus on the painted surface and experiment with the juxtaposition and combination of smaller paintings on a large canvas. Later, in his "Disseminations" series from 1976 the wall itself becomes part of the work thus breaking down the relationship between the painting and its surroundings. In the same years, Pinelli stopped using canvas and instead opted for materials such as flannel, giving the work a tactile component.
Without any fundamental attachment to the space itself in which they reside, Pinelli's paintings cannot be comfortably categorized without the surrounding themselves informing the work, requiring the walls to become part of the experience and artworks itself. Without the boundaries of a canvas, into often expansive, modular and dynamic forms, the painting takes the expansion of the space itself. Pinelli consistently challenges the traditional conception of painting and enriches the evolving dialogue between art and life itself.
Pino Pinelli has been exhibited internationally in solo exhibitions including Antologia Rossa (2015), Galleria Dep Art, Milano; Paint (2012), Lucca Center of Contemporary Art, Lucca, Italy; Pino Pinelli (2001), APC Galerie, Cologne, Germany. Selected group exhibitions include A New Visual Language (2014), De Buck Gallery, New York; Images of Light, Villa Clerici, Milan (2012); Analytical Painting: 4 Main Players from Italy, Forumkunst, Rottweil, Germany (2011); Normanni, Palermo | Teatro V. Emanuele, Messina | Columbus Citizen Foundation, New York (1998). Selected public collections include MART Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Trento and Rovereto, Italy; Museo del '900, Milan, Italy; Museo MADRE, Naples, Italy; Zappettini Foundation in Chiavari, Italy; Dresner Bank in Frankfurt, Germany and Kreissparkasse in Rottweil, Germany.
