British Antarctic Survey at the Cambridge Science Festival
On Saturday 19th March, BAS will be holding two displays at the annual Cambridge Science Festival. One display will be at the Department of Chemistry called “Climate change and atmosphere – from Cambridge to Antarctica”. This is organised in collaboration with the Centre of Atmospheric Science and the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements. At the display members of the public will have the opportunity to speak to BAS scientists to learn about the atmosphere and the effects of climate change and how BAS is involved in the scientific research of these topics.
The other display is organised in collaboration with the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) and is called “Living and Working in Antarctica”. There will be a field camp display just outside the main entrance to the SPRI Museum so this is a great opportunity to experience how BAS scientists live out in the field in Antarctica for up to three months at a time.

How burdened are you for the unchurched?
Recently, my husband was having a conversation with someone about the burden that he has for those who have left the church. While often times there is not much a Pastor can do about those who choose to uproot and leave, it is still a burden they carry, as far as their relationship with God.
In a recent survey conducted by Reachrightstudios, a ghastly number was revealed that 59% of millennial’s who grew up in church are now leaving the church. Not to go to another denomination, but walking away from their faith!
That statistic should alarm you if you are a Believer. As Pastors, I can assure you that it bothers us, even worries us. We have one of the greatest mission fields right in our own backyard with those who are unchurched.
The feedback that my husband received about his worry for those who have gone out the backdoor kind of surprised me and sent me on this trail of wondering where my own burden lies. He was told he needed to be delivered of worry. Now, I would agree that it isn’t good for a Believer to worry, for God says that He will take care of everything, even the tiny sparrow. But worry and burden are two different things.
The Apostle Paul possessed the most effective tool for evangelism: a burden for those who did not know Jesus. His burden for his own people to become Believers burned inside of him. He sums up what was in his heart in Romans 9 where he basically says, if it was possible, he would give up his own hope of eternal life so that those who didn’t have it could.
(Roman 9:2,3) “that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers.”
Paul strove to reach as many people as possible for the Gospel. I am sure that even Paul, the great teacher that he was, had some walk away. But his burden for those who rebuked him and walked away from the Message never stopped him from caring or praying for them.
We all know someone who has walked away for one reason or another. What have you done about it…have you prayed? Have you cared? Do you still have a burden?
It is my prayer that I will never stop worrying (having a burden) for the unchurched to come back Home.

J.M. Smucker raises coffee prices by 9% -- more java makers soon to follow
If the soaring cost of a cup isn't making you jittery, coffee derivatives might give you a caffeine-style start. Speculators betting on rising prices are pouring into the market like milk into a double latte. Two commodity vehicles, InterncontinentalExchange and the London International Financial Futures Exchange, reported record or near-record levels of coffee futures trading. The trend has been percolating for a while. Between June 9 and 16 alone, coffee future prices soared 18.3%, according to Bloomberg data reported in Minyanville.com.
Why we are shelling out more for our daily grind traces back to Economics 101: supply and demand. A poor harvest in Central America and Vietnam has cut our supply by 8 percent, MarketWatch said. As for demand, we're jones-ing for our joe more than ever. Young adults, the fastest-growing segment, now slurp 3.2 cups per day, a National Coffee Association Study found.
All of the statistics wouldn't amount to a hill of beans except for the fact that coffee is eating into Americans' food budget at an eye-opening rate. At last check online, the price for a 33.9-ounce can of Folgers Ground Coffee Classic at Walgreens was $9.99. That was probably before the price-hike announcement.

Nathan Fillion has a long and illustrious television career. Following his breakout roles on Desperate Housewives, Firefly, and Castle, the Canadian-American actor is currently featured in ABC drama The Rookie, which returned to screens this month. While Nathan Fillion has never married, he has been linked to a number of co-stars and other actors throughout the years and has even been engaged twice. Who Is The Wife Of Nathan Fillion In 2022: What We Know.
Nathan Fillion Wife In 2022
Nathan Fillion is single and very focused on his career at the moment. He has been in a number of relationships, but has never been married. Nathan is a private person and does not share much about his personal life with the public. However, he has been dating actress Mikaela Hoover since 2015. The couple seems very happy together and there is no doubt that they are in it for the long haul.
Nathan Fillion is one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors. He is handsome, talented, and has an amazing sense of humor. Women all over the world swoon over him and he always seems to be surrounded by beautiful women. However, Nathan has never been married and it doesn’t seem like he is in any rush to settle down anytime soon.
Nathan has been in a number of relationships over the years, but none of them have lasted very long. He was last linked to actress Katey Sagal, but the pair broke up in 2008 after dating for two years. Nathan has also been rumored to be dating his Castle co-star Stana Katic, but those rumors have never been confirmed.
At this point in his life, Nathan is single and seems to be enjoying the life of a Hollywood bachelor. He is focused on his career and seems to be in no rush to settle down. However, that could all change if he meets the right woman. Only time will tell if Nathan will ever get married, but for now, he seems content with living the single life.
Nathan Fillion Dating History
In 1995, after eight months of dating, Nathan popped the question to Vanessa Marcil on General Hospitals. However, the couple was together for less than half a year before calling it quits and going their separate ways. After meeting in May 2004, Irwin and actress Perrey Reeves dated for four years, from 2005 to 2009.
He proposed to Mikaela Hoover just months into their relationship, and the pair began dating in April 2013. Sadly, it did not work out for them and they split shortly after. According to reports, Nathan has been seeing Krista Allen, the ex-girlfriend of George Clooney, since 2015.
According to rumors, when she appeared as a guest star on the ABC series, Nathan and the former Anger Management actress hit it off on set. The actor is also linked to actresses Felicia Day, Kate Luyben, and Christina Ochoa in public rumors. The actor, who reprises his role as police John Nolan in the third season of The Rookie this month, is currently thought to be single and childless.

2018 Ford F-150 vs 2017 Ford F-150
A lot can happen in a year. A truck can strive to improve its power ratings, payload and towing capacities or fuel economy. Or, if it's an F-150, it can improve all of them. As the 2018 Ford F-150 vs 2017 Ford F-150 reveals, Ford accomplished every single one of these goals in the last year of truck engineering. Now it's time to show all of them off!
When truck drivers pay an extra $270 for the base 2018 F-150, they are receiving the new standard 3.3-liter V6 engine, which is proud to replace the 2017 model's 3.5-liter V6. Please note that all of the specifications in the chart below represent the 2018 and 2017 base trims of the F-150, an XL with rear wheel drive and the standard cab and bed.
|2018 Ford F-150||vs||2017 Ford F-150|
|290 hp, 265 lb-ft||Base Power Ratings||282 hp, 253 lb-ft|
|1,990/5,100 lbs||Max. Capacities (Payload/Towing)||1,910/5,000 lbs|
|20/26 mpg||Fuel Economy (city/hwy)||18/24 mpg|
A Year of Differences – 2018 Ford F-150 vs 2017 Ford F-150
As already mentioned—and conveniently displayed in the chart above—the base 2018 F-150 overwhelms the base 2017 F-150 in power ratings, maximum payload and towing capacities, and even fuel economy. All of these advancements put the 2018 Ford F-150 at the top of its segment, as it can hold more, tow more, drive farther, save more money, and even provide a punchier driving experience.
While all signs in the 2018 Ford F-150 vs 2017 Ford F-150 comparison do highlight the superiority of the 2018 model, it's also important to note the role of the 2017 F-150. Without its great foundation, the advancements of the 2018 F-150 wouldn’t have been possible. Both are great trucks, but, of course, newer is better.

Since the passing of our friend Kevin AKA “Hognose” owner of weaponsman.com we have be reposting his work here in tribute and to make sure it survives. This is another technical article from Kevin in part of a series.
The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon is widely distributed in the US Army and Marine Corps (even after the Marines replaced many SAWs with M27 Infantry Automatic Rifles). But how did we get to that point, and what other weapons were considered along the way? This series will look at each of the four contenders in turn. The principal objective of this article is to set the stage, and introduce an unfamiliar cousin of a familiar old friend: the XM106 Automatic Rifle, an M16A1 redesigned by Army engineers for the tactical role once filled by the Browning Automatic Rifle in the American rifle squad.
It’s a bit amazing that a SAW program got any traction at all. In 1979, the Army was concerned about the vintage of its small arms and other systems. While we’re most concerned about small arms here, the Army’s RDT&E guys had to develop it all, and they had their hands full trying to field or develop, at that time:
- The XM1 Tank (with 105mm gun; not yet named Abrams).
- The 120mm smoothbore follow-on for the M1. This was principally setting up American manufacture of an already-successful German gun.
- The Infantry Fighting Vehicle and its cav variant (not yet named Bradley).
- The Copperhead laser-guided precision artillery shell.
- The YAH-64 helicopter (“Y” means prototype; the Army was testing 5 prototypes, but they hadn’t selected the night vision and fire control systems yet; everyone remembered the AH-56 Cheyenne, which had gotten to this stage and beyond before its ignominious cancellation).
- The still unnamed MLRS rocket system was in early phases of tests, and precision guided rockets for it were barely on the engineers’ whiteboards.
- Improved missiles: I-HAWK, TOW, and Pershing II.
- New missiles: HELLFIRE and Patriot.
- US production of the superior British 81mm mortar.
- Firefinder radar.
Those are the ones that turned into successful fieldings, but every one was opposed by vocal lobbies, which argued that the weapons cost too much, and would never work. (Some of these opponents were concerned patriots, like John Boyd’s famous reform mafia; others might not have been, like the CDI, a group that toed Ivan’s line so thoroughly that it was rumored to be financed by the USSR, and that did indeed fade from prominence after the USSR went belly up, although no one ever found any proof of anything as far as we know).
To the delight of the opponents, some development projects would turn out to be turkeys, like the DIVAD gun (later named Sergeant York; its fate was sealed when a high-stakes live demo saw it lock on to a latrine fan instead of a hovering, easy-pickin’s drone helicopter). Some would blow their budgets and get put out of their misery by the Carter administration or the Congress. Nobody remembers the US Roland AA missile, or the Stand Off Target Acquisition System, a helicopter with a Rube Goldberg targeting radar that needed a Heath Robinson raising and lowering mechanism.
But all in all, for all that the suits would like to zero out Army R&D, and for all that some projects would be dead ends, the need for these systems was so great, and/or the contractors had promised to manufacture them in so many Congressional districts, that the Army had an RDT&E budget request for $2.927 Billion for FY 80 (which began 1 Oct 79).
The principal small arms program was the SAW (the long-running Air Force/Joint pistol trials, the M231 Firing Port weapon, and a 30mm repeater grenade launcher which never saw type-classification, were some of the others). The Squad Automatic Weapon program was well along; the service needed to complete a developmental and operational test of four prototypes and evaluate the test data. Considering that it would produce a weapon still in the field today, this program’s budget request was almost invisible: $500,000. It was a little less than 2%, not of the RDT&E budget, but of 1% of the RDT&E budget (0.01708% if you do the math; rounds up to 171 10/1000ths of a percent).
The Army had just given up on the idea of a return to a .30 caliber small arm. A study called IRUS-75 evaluated the .30 concept as part of a question of the overall organization and equipment of the future rifle squad; a follow-on study, the Army Small Arms Requirements Study (ASARS), made it clear that the caliber mattered less than having two auto weapons per squad to provide a base of fire, as the BAR had done in days of yore.
The Army conduced an extensive computer study that determined the optimum caliber for a SAW was 6mm. This caused the first casualties inflicted by the SAW as logisticians’ heads exploded: they had no desire to stock a third caliber alongside 5.56 and 7.62. Accordingly, the SAW was specified to use 5.56mm ammunition: not the standard M193 ball round, but whatever round came out of new NATO testing, whether it was the FN SS109, the US XM777, or something completely different. The test guns were, as we understand it, set up for XM777. (XM777, like SS109, sought to get more penetration out of the 5.56x45mm cartridge by using a steel penetrator. It was, however, backwards-compatible with the 1:12 rifling of earlier 5.56 rifles. SS109 proved superior in NATO tests to SS109 and experimental British and German small-caliber rounds, and was adopted; the US version is M855).
The Army did not have an entirely free hand in weapons development, since the Joint Services Small Arms Program had been established in December, 1978, as “the senior joint services body for small arms development,” but the Army did retain control of the SAW program. By early 1979, four prototypes were under test by the Material Testing Directorate of the Army’s Aberdeen Proving Ground. One of the four was going to be the SAW and replace two of the rifle squad’s M16A1 rifles. (Doctrine at the time designated one rifleman in each fire time the “automatic rifleman”. He got a bipod and more ammo. The rest of the riflemen were supposed to fire on semi-auto against point targets only).
The four candidates were three belt-fed 5.56mm light machine guns: Ford Aerospace’s XM248; FN’s XM249; H&K’s XM262; and one magazine-fed weapon, the XM106.
The XM106 had the home-field advantage: it was developed by the Army’s own Ballistics Research Laboratory. But it was, by far, the least advanced rifle. It was essentially an M16A1 with a modified fire-control system and a bipod. It fired full-auto only, from an open bolt, and had a heavy buffer system to bring the rate of fire down to 750 RPM. The bipod was an M2 bipod, as used on the M14, but it mounted above the rifle’s barrel. All XM106s appear to have been hand-built, toolroom guns, and there are a few variations among them. The XM106 had a clever, but complex, interchangeable barrel, a desirable feature in a weapon that may be called on to deliver lots of automatic fire. In most XM106s, the front sight base was moved closer to the muzzle end of the barrel (which army records record as 482mm [21.5 in.] including the flash suppressor, the second longest of the contenders), reputedly to extend the gun’s sight radius.
The barrel-changing mechanism removed the front sight and gas tube from the gun, leaving the bipod attached to the receiver. The handguards, as you can see in the picture, split. This system had two drawbacks — one, shared with the M60 and numerous other GPMGs is that rear sight adjustments could only be zeroed for one barrel — when you changed barrels, you changed point of impact, and it might have done something ugly to the accuracy of your weapon. The second drawback is clearly visible in the picture: that gas tube hanging off the spare barrel, just asking some GI to bend, break, or plug it with something.
The XM106 was not only magazine-based, it had its own special magazine — sort of. A spring clip held three 30-round magazines together. When one was exhausted, the auto-rifleman pressed the magazine release and shifted the mag over and reinstalled it. It was another Rube Goldberg / Heath Robinson contrivance, but in the late 1970s there were no reliable high-cap magazines.
We’re not aware of any surviving XM106s. The open-bolt mechanism and the plate renaming the fire selector positions lived on, however, on the M231 Firing Port Weapon. Colt was to reevaluate the M16-based MG and develop a version in conjunction with Diemaco for Canadian Army tests; that would also fire from the open bolt, but it had a superior barrel change system and bipod to those of the XM106.
If the XM106 was the least technically ambitious of the SAW contenders, Ford’s XM248, which instantiated some concepts developed at BRL and elsewhere in the Army ordnance world, was at the opposite end of the spectrum — a technical stretch. But that’s for the next installment.
Other than its influence on Colt’s future private developments, the XM106 was an evolutionary dead end. With four very different guns to choose from, three had to lose, and with its lack of a belt and awkwardness, the XM106 was never really in contention. It’s interesting to compare it to the M27 automatic rifle the Marines ultimately chose to replace most of its SAWs, a weapon that accepted the inconvenience of magazine loading for the benefit of much lighter weight.
That the XM106 was so quickly set aside tells us that “not invented here” wasn’t holding the Army ordnance experts back in the late 70s and early 80s — the gun was designed by their own compadres at the Ballistics Research Laboratory, but it wasn’t the best. Any disappointment that BRL might have had was limited, however. Their firing-port weapon design, a more extensively modified M16A1, was adopted as standard equipment for the new Infantry and Cavalry Fighting Vehicles, and it, too remains in service today — so there’s a little bit of XM106 still out there.
In Monday’s installment, we gave you the overview of the SAW program as of 1979, and we looked in depth at the least radical design, the magazine-fed M16 variant, XM-106 automatic rifle, a product of the Army’s own Ballistic Research Laboratory. Today’s installment will fill you in with a little more on the competition and its history, and will go into a little depth — unfortunately, a little depth is all we have — about the XM-248 and especially its forerunner, the XM-235.
To recap, as of the beginning of 1979 four candidates were being compared for a concept of a Squad Automatic Weapon that was then (barely) filled in the infantry fire team by giving one guy a stamped-steel bipod and permission to set his selector to Crowd Control. Along with the XM106, which was an M16A1 with some concessions to firing high rates and volumes of automatic fire, the contenders at this point were three belt-fed 5.56mm light machine guns: Ford Aerospace’s XM248, FN’s XM249 and H&K’s XM262.
The XM-248 is a good-looking gun with a straight inline mechanism and a very clever belt feed that had the potential to be more positive, but less upsetting to accuracy, than the typical feed tray that’s been standard on GPMGs ever since the MG34 instantiated the category way back during the Great Depression.
To understand the XM248, we have to roll back a bit, to the very dawn of the SAW program in 1975 (the term “SAW” dates to 1970, and the idea of an intermediate gun between the rifle and the 23+lb M60 GPMG dates to 1966). The Army’s Training and Doctrine Command had noted that a war in Europe was possible, and Europe was vastly more built-up than in the last war. Even then, much of the fighting was in cities — dismounted infantry terrain. A squad automatic weapon that could deliver fire in high volumes would benefit such a squad, in what the Army now calls Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) and then called Military Operations in Built-up Areas (MOBA). So in 1975, the Army began designing in its own labs, and calling for, from industry, a new weapon, at the same time it began to evaluate M16 improvements that would lead (through a winding path blazed mostly by the USMC) to the M16A2. Both improvements were aimed at MOBA as well as just generally increasing the lethality of the squad, and drew upon TRADOC studies that said fire volume was more important than fire precision.
The new SAW — the squad’s volume-fire weapon — would use either an optimum cartridge or the standard rifle cartridge. (Each approach had its adherents). The first round of paper SAW candidates were chambered for disparate cartridges, including a new experimental 6mm and the standard 5.56mm. The 6mm fired a 105-grain projectile at 2450 fps (6.8g/.747m/s) compared to the M193 round’s 55gr/3250fps (3.5g/990m/s), giving the new MG a range beyond 800m. One of the main drivers of the 6mm caliber wasn’t anything to do with ball ammunition — it was that given the tracer technology of the time, no known compound could trace to and beyond 800m in daytime, and be contained in the volume of a 5.56mm projo. Army ordnance guys really liked the 6mm; loggies, and the senior generals who would have to square a new caliber with our NATO allies, were more reserved, for entirely non-technical reasons.
Because it was no longer in production or actively being promoted, the Stoner XM207E1 was out of the picture. In any event, the Army’s ordnance officers had a strong prejudice against it: the SEALs loved the gun and used them until there were no parts to be had, but the Army considered it too maintenance-intensive to be reliable in the hands of draftees with GT Scores of 80. Likewise, Colt’s CMG-2; and like other guns rejected before the contest began, they fired the 5.56mm cartridge, which didn’t meet the Army’s desire for an 800m+ weapon.
The three contenders in the 1975-76 round were made for the 6×45 cartridge and given sequential model numbers. XM233 (left) was Maremont’s entry. As you might expect from the maker of the M60, it looked like a baby 60. The XM234, a spindly-looking thing, was prototyped by Philco (about which, more below). And the Army’s own Rodman Laboratories (at Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois) developed a radically new concept which was labeled XM235.
Two more-familiar 5.56mm guns that were being developed in Europe and entirely outside the Army competition at the very same time were not considered at this time: the FN Minimi and the H&K HK23. Ironically, they were rejected specifically because they were 5.56mm weapons. But we haven’t heard the last of the little round and these two commercial guns, either, because in Developmental Test/Operational Test 1, they, and a heavy-barreled variant of the M16, were used as controls and benchmarks for the “real” 6mm guns.
Philco’s 6mm gun was called the XM234, and it looked like this:
And that picture is almost all we know about it. At the time, we recall reading, and laughing about, the idea that Philco had entered a gun in the Army competition. Philco was the subsidiary of Ford that made the radios and 8-track players (don’t we keep telling you, The Past Is Another Country? Some of us lived there). And so, the idea of it making machine guns was pretty funny. But Detroit automakers are no slouches on mass production, and the Army has often turned to them when it needed quantity and quality. In World War II, the Navy threw a young officer named Henry Ford II out so he could take over from his ailing father and take charge of Ford’s war production, which included guns, gun parts, and complete B-24 Liberators. GM made M3 grease guns, and later would produce M16A1s with considerably less drama than Colt, despite a rather lacking Technical Data Package. So, Philco probably could make a gun; auto manufacturing technology was effective for guns; and mechanical engineering is the same discipline of materials, statics and mechanics for a gun designer that it is for a guy designing a valve train or power-steering mechanism.
By the time the 11th Edition of Small Arms of the World, from which a number of these facts and photos are taken, was published in 1977, the defense branch of Philco had taken on the more dignified name, Ford Aerospace & Communication Corporation.
There’s very little information about the Philco entry available, especially online; and at the end of the first phase, DT/OT1, in December, 1974, both its gun, the XM234, and Maremont’s weren’t what Army evaluators were interested in. But they really liked the Army’s entry, the XM235:
The XM235 had been developed by a dedicated team at Rodman, led by Curtis D. Johnson and including at least 7 more dedicated engineers, who all signed on to the patent US # 3,999,461 on the gun (USPTO link) (Google Patents link).
One of the controls also fared well at the tests: the FN Minimi was as reliable as the best of the 6mm guns, and more so than the H&K. It used then-special FN ammo (SS109) which didn’t interchange with the riflemen’s 1:12 M16s. Nobody liked the HB M16 as a SAW.
At this point, the Army dropped the idea of the 6mm round. It not only complicated Army logistics to have a third entire caliber, but it would be hard to sell to NATO, where American allies had already had two Yankee cartridges rammed down their throats. So the SAW was going to be 5.56mm. How were they going to get the 5.56 to perform “beyond 800m” as the spec had said? They weren’t. So the new spec was “up to 800m.”
This set the Army up for the next round of testing, but they needed someone to produce the XM235. The prototype that so impressed everyone at DT/OT1 was handbuilt, and the Rodman guys weren’t manufacturing or production engineers. The answer seemed obvious: let Maremont and Philco, uh, Ford Aerospace, bid on producing the the XM235. Ford won the bid, and engineers being engineers, began improving the design even as they committed to building a couple of dozen prototypes in 5.56 for testing. The 5.56 quasi-production variant of the XM235 was the XM248.
Let’s take a look at the XM235 technically and see why it was so admired at the time. We’ll push back Ford’s many changes that produced the XM248 till tomorrow. (This post is already 1500 words long!)
The Rodman engineers began with a clean slate and the understanding that, other things being equal, automatic weapons firing bursts had always been less accurate than rifles firing single aimed shots. This wasn’t invariably a bad thing, as it allowed for the natural dispersion of a burst to “correct” in a way for a gunner’s aiming error, but it was terribly wasteful of ammunition.
Engineers being engineers, they asked why the automatic guns were less accurate, and they concluded that several things degraded the accuracy of automatic weapons:
- Parts of the mechanism were moving whilst bullets were still in the barrel.
- Whether operated by recoil or gas, the operating mechanism reflected excess energy back into the weapon, what the developers called “high restitution” from rebounding parts.
- Extant light machinegun designs had overly high rates of fire (650 to 1000 rpm).
- Peak recoil was high (500-1200 foot/pounds – 2,200-5,300 N).
Those items, taken together, degraded accuracy. So the characteristics sought in the 235 design were:
- A long motion of recoiling parts.
- A soft cycle without the hammering of buffers on stops often seen in LMGs.
- Rate of fire reduced to 500 rpm, little more than half that of an M16A1 with M193 ammo loaded with WC846 powder.
- Reduced recoil impulse (to 200 lb-ft) and reduced recoil effects on muzzle movement by careful placement and design of stock and grips, gas system, and so forth.
- A change in belt handling to reduce the stop-and-go motion of the belt
- Placing parts that induced motion inimical to accuracy (the belt feed, for instance) close to the weapon’s center of gravity, to reduce the moments these parts induced for a given force.
In addition, the engineers wanted to design a weapon with world-class reliability and maintainability. They wanted it to be made up of field replaceable modules, and readily field-stripped in 10 seconds. They wanted to reduce the parts count relative to the M60 (they cut the parts count by 40%).
The receiver was extremely unconventional. What looks like the receiver in pictures is a sheet metal cover with no structural function. The fore-end likewise is a simple stamped cover. The actual receiver comprises two long tubes, a forward end cap that joins the tubes to the barrel, and an aft end cap that contains a sophisticated hydraulic buffer. The bolt carrier rides between the tubes, and connects to upper and lower pistons and springs, which ride inside the receiver tubes (which do double duty as gas tubes). The bolt carrier also contains, of course, the bolt, which has three lugs like an AK bolt, dual extractors and a plunger ejector.
The bolt carrier also drives, in its long travels, a rotating cam tube that turns a feed sprocket that lifts the feed belt with rotary action. There is no reversing or reciprocating motion orthogonal to the direction of fire — unlike the classic MG34/MG42-inspired feed tray cover, or that of the Browning or Maxim for that matter.
A spring-loaded firing pin rode in the bolt, and the fire control and related switchgear were contained in the pistol grip. In order to hang the belt container exactly on the center of gravity, the pistol grip was also hung on the center of gravity front-to-rear but offset to the right. Several effects came packed with this: moments of any operator input on the pistol grip were reduced, because it was at an arm of nearly zero, increasing accuracy; the weapon gave the gunner unprecedented control; and the weapon required right-handed operation. The Army liked the former two, but were keenly aware that about 10% of troops are left-handed. The weapon also required left-handed operation because it was, in effect, a bullpup design. Previous Army skittishness about bullpup safety may have been reduced by measures taken to prevent an out-of-battery firing, and the bolt’s location within the heavy carrier and the solid sheet-metal receiver cover.
Ford Aerospace had the order to produce 18 production-ready XM248s, which were to be the XM235 in 5..56 (instead of the abandoned 6.0×45) with a few improvements. (In the end, they’d make two versions). The improved XM235 was the XM248. Then, post-Vietnam budget cuts savaged the SAW program. The money was there to make the XM248s, but not to test them. The XM235 had been set to compete against the Minimi — if the Minimi could be lightened enough to meet spec — and a couple of USMC-sponsored heavy-barrel M16s (again). That is, in fact, where the 1977 11th Edition of Small Arms of the World left the competition: uncertain, and potentially cancelled entirely. The budget for the competition had been cut so much that the Army had no money for testing the 18 5.56mm XM248s that Ford delivered under their contract, or anything else. IF FN was going to lighten the Minimi, they’d have to do it on their own — contract money wasn’t forthcoming. H&K was fuming on the sidelines, believing their HK23 had been unfairly DQ’d. And Army squads still had, by MTOE, an “automatic rifleman” whose only concession to firepower was a tinny little bipod for his M16A1; alternatively, they could carry a heavy M60 and its heavy ammunition along.
Tune in tomorrow as the XM235 emerges from its Ford chrysalis as the XM248 — and becomes the most advanced light machine gun the US Army ever rejected.

"I judge a shampoo by the way it makes my hair feel after rinsing it out. This shampoo is the best - it will not leave your hair in a tight mess ... it is super concentrated so a little goes a long way by emulsifying a little bit in your hand with a little shower water... I stir it up in my palm. It smells amazing and it does not strip my hair color or straightening product.

Something I have written about in several different ways, but that I think bears repeating, is how my red pill awakening resulted in the uncomfortable realization that almost everything I had been taught about “how the world works” really doesn’t.
Even now I find myself having to be conscious of that old programming and not letting it back in.
For example, I was raised to not act or dress too feminine, because that was weakness and asking to be a victim. I was told to put off marriage and family, and instead to worship the Gods of education, career, and independence. I was taught men were not to be trusted, that they were out to get me, that they would oppress me and/or hold me back at every turn. I was taught children were a burden, they would keep me from my own hopes and dreams, and to put them off as long as possible if not indefinitely. I was taught to think, “Me first!”
Things is, I did all that and it didn’t work. If anything it lead to failed relationships, workaholism, disconnection, paranoia, and putting my own internal wisdom aside to follow the “modern” way.
If you have also been raised with some of this way of thinking, ask yourself, “How’s that working out?” And if it isn’t, start relearning what does work. Root out the misinformation, and do different even when at times it feels “wrong” or “weird.” Because it will.
Realize as you make new and different choices, others will try to push you back on the path you are abandoning. Look at their lives and ask yourself, “it is working for them?” before taking advice.
The good news is the ancient wisdom is in there. Trust it. Seek it. Grow. Share.

Taking the Volvo S80 D5out for a spin in the Scandinavian hinterlands
Author Piet van Niekerk
Starting price: $279,995
Perks: Taking inspiration from the smartphone world, the car’s infotainment and climate-control systems are outfitted with “haptic feedback” switches that respond to commands with a subtle vibration through their glass surfaces. Less subtle is the vibration you can achieve with the bespoke 1,000-watt, 13-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo.
Engine: The 6-liter V-12 can unleash 565 horses at 6,750 rpm, making the Vanquish second in power to only the limited-edition One-77 supercar among Aston Martin’s production fleet. Acceleration from zero to 60 takes a mere 4 seconds; top speed is 183 mph.
Performance: The electric power steering (a first for Aston Martin) offers tip-top responsiveness and allows for a lighter hand on the wheel. Also upping the nimbleness factor: generous deployment of carbon fiber body panels, which are lighter and stronger than their steel counterparts.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement and the Coast Guard continued Friday (Jan. 31) to oversee efforts to kill a wild well off the Louisiana coast, a day after crews lost control during drilling, forcing most to evacuate the site. Officials say there are no reports of injuries or pollution.
BSEE officials were in the final stages of reviewing a response plan submitted by the well's owner, EnVen Energy Ventures of Metairie, on Friday afternoon.
EnVen plans to pump weighted drilling fluids into the well in order to apply pressure and stop the flow of natural gas, what's known as a "dynamic kill." Crews are expected to start the process later Friday.
Crews on the jack-up rig Rowan Louisiana were drilling at the well site about 108 miles southwest of Lafayette when it began to flow natural gas Thursday morning. The rig has been evacuated and gas is being diverted overboard as the crew works to kill the well.
The rig was positioned over the A-Platform, which was producing both oil and gas at the time of the incident. All platform production has since been stopped. Officials say there have been no reports of oil sheen in the surrounding water.
Wild natural gas wells are typically less of an environmental threat than offshore oil well blowouts like the one that led to the massive BP oil spill in April 2010.
Even so, scrutiny of all offshore operations has increased in the years following the spill.
Last July, a natural gas well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico forced the evacuation of 44 workers and ignited a fire that raged for two days. Federal regulators opened an investigation into the cause of the incident within a week.
Similar investigations were opened after fire at a Black Elk Energy oil production platform in November 2012.

An accelerator is an indispensable organic additive for the bottom-up filling of copper electroplating in nano- or micro-scale features. However, its effective concentration is too low to be easily determined and controlled. Herein, a new electrochemical analysis method based on self-assembly monolayers of thiol molecules on a gold electrode was developed to accurately determine a trace amount of accelerator. The accelerator employed in copper plating solutions is bis-(3-sulfopropyl) disulfide (SPS), which is the most common accelerator for the filling of vias and trenches of interconnects. The SPS concentration in copper plating solutions ranged from 0.3 to 9.0 ppm. Following selective chemisorption of SPS onto the gold electrode, the SPS-modified gold electrode was transferred into a specific electrolyte composed of CuSO 4, H2SO4, polyethylene glycol and chloride ions to run cyclic voltammetry (CV) for copper deposition and stripping. A specific peak current of copper reduction formed in the CV, and its peak area depended on the SPS concentration in the copper plating solution. A good linear calibration line was obtained by using this electrochemical analysis method, which can determine a trace amount of SPS in a concentration range of 0.3-1.0 ppm, which is a significant challenge for traditional instruments.

Independent Air Flight 1851 was a Boeing 707 charter flight from Bergamo, Italy, to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, with a stopover in Santa Maria, Azores. On February 8, 1989, the plane crashed into Pico Alto, a mountain near Santa Maria Airport, while on approach, killing all 144 people on board (137 passengers and seven crew members). It is the deadliest plane crash in Portugal’s history.
The aircraft was a 21-year-old Boeing 707-138B that had been previously operated by Trans World Airlines (TWA). It was leased to Independent Air, a charter airline based in Miami, Florida. The crew consisted of seven Americans, and the passengers were all Italian tourists.
The pilot was Captain Douglas Leon Daugherty, the first officer was Samuel “Sammy” Adcock, and the flight engineer was Jorge Gonzalez, who was 34.
Impact With the Pico Alto Mountain
Bad weather conditions meant that the flight left Bergamo around two hours late, at 10:04. It was meant to leave at 08:00, but the fog delayed the inbound flight from Genoa. While the airplane was approaching Santa Maria the permission to descend to 3,000 feet for an ILS approach to runway 19 came just before 13:57. However, when the crew of the flight read-back the transmission to confirm its receipt, the altitude they stated was 2,000 feet. This misunderstanding was a deadly mistake. The 707 descended at 2,000 feet at 14:06, despite the minimum sector altitude being the 3,000 feet instructed by ATC. It entered heavy clouds in a mountainous area one minute later, where it experienced turbulence. With the GPWS alarm sounding, the aircraft impacted Pico Alto, Santa Maria’s highest mountain, at 14:08.
The investigation into the crash determined that the probable cause was the crew’s failure to maintain adequate clearance from Pico Alto. The investigation also found that the crew was not properly trained on the use of the aircraft’s navigation equipment.
The crash of Independent Air Flight 1851 was a tragedy that could have been prevented. The crew’s failure to maintain adequate clearance from Pico Alto was the primary cause of the crash, but there were other contributing factors, such as the crew’s lack of training on the aircraft’s navigation equipment.

Eskom's coal-fired power stations exceed pollution limits - report
Nearly all Eskom power plants persistently exceed air pollution limits stipulated in their licences.
This is according to a new report by US coal plant expert Dr Ranajit Sahu, who found that, over a 21-month period until December 2017, the power utility's coal power plants exceeded its already-weak licence conditions almost 3,200 times.
The report said this related to all three regulated pollutants for coal plants - namely sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter, including soot and ash.
Eskom, in its response however, said its stations generally complied with the conditions of their atmospheric emission licences and the stipulated limits specifically in the period analysed by Sahu.
The analysis was based on Eskom’s own monthly reports of emissions from its coal power plants, which were submitted to authorities.
Life After Coal, the organisation which commissioned the report, said the findings meant that Eskom was continuously endangering health and violating the human rights of millions of people affected by its pollution.
According to the report, the offending power stations with the most frequent licence exceedances were Lethabo, Matla, Matimba, and Kriel.
The plants with the highest particulate matter exceedances were Grootvlei (at times as much as 15 times the limit), Kriel (at times as much as six times the limit), and Duvha and Lethabo (at times as much as five times the limit).
Sahu said he reviewed data for 14 of Eskom’s 15 coal-fired stations. All of these plants have six units, except Camden, with eight units.
Sahu said Kusile was excluded from the analysis as it did not come online before August 2017.
Sahu said his analysis of plant emission exceedances was limited by inconsistent, incomplete and unclear reporting.
"When faced with uncertainty, I gave the benefit of the doubt to Eskom, and so my calculations under-represent the extent of atmospheric emissions licences' exceedances.
"More accurate and comprehensive reporting would significantly enhance government enforcement of atmospheric emissions licences and public scrutiny of power plant compliance,” Sahu said.
Sahu said from the data, it appeared that Eskom treated the limits in its air quality permits as optional targets.
"Whatever pollution control they have is not working, or is not being made to work," Sahu said.
In its response to Sahu on February 22, Eskom denied there were thousands of emission non-compliance events.
"Dr Sahu’s report appears to have a number of errors which significantly overstate the extent of the high emission levels."
Eskom said Sahu’s report reflected a number of daily exceedances, and many of these were permitted in terms of the conditions of the atmospheric emissions licences and were therefore not non-compliance.
"Where the authorities have identified significant recurring trends in terms of possible non-compliance they have issued Eskom with pre-compliance notices in terms of the National Environmental Management Act ....Eskom has responded to each of these generally indicating that the high emission levels are not non-compliance to the legislation"” Eskom said.
Sahu recommended that Eskom's data on emissions be made available to the public electronically.
In addition to the emissions data, Sahu said reporting should include daily energy production data as well as daily average load levels.
"This would provide the ability and context to evaluate the emissions data; and to be able to normalise the emissions data against capacity and energy production. This too should be provided electronically"
Life After Coal said that Eskom had in January applied for the fourth time for more time to comply with South Africa’s minimum emission standards.
The organisation said, based on past reprieves given to Eskom by the department of environmental affairs, the power utility operated with many licence conditions that were weaker than the minimum emission standards.
The standards have been law since March 31 2010.
The Life After Coal campaign argued that if Eskom’s coal plants could not comply with the country's already weak emissions standards, they should be decommissioned and a plan put in place to support the workers and their families.

Swimming pools are beneficial to human health, but they can have adverse health effects if not properly cleaned. Regular swimming pool cleaning and maintenance and monitoring of chemical levels are vital to the health of pool swimmers.
Negative effects of the swimming pool on health
There is no denying that swimming in pools and contact with water has benefits for human health. However, swimming pools can also cause health problems. That is why proper cleaning and maintenance of swimming pools is essential for a healthy swimming pool experience.
One of the most common health problems in swimming pools is eye, ear and throat infections. Water provides an ideal environment for bacteria and other microorganisms to multiply. Therefore, swimming in dirty and contaminated pool water can cause infections in the eyes, ears and throat.
The skin that is in constant contact with water while swimming in pools can also cause skin problems. In particular, it is a common problem that chemicals in swimming pools damage the skin. Chemicals such as chlorine, sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide are used to maintain the pool’s pH balance, but overuse can cause skin irritation and itching.
Swimming in pools has also been observed to cause respiratory infections. These infections occur when bacteria or other microorganisms in the pool water are inhaled from the pool’s atomized water droplets.
Damage to the pool
Chemicals used in swimming pools, especially chlorine, can cause skin dryness, itching and redness. We recommend that you enter the pools which are cleaned regularly. Otherwise you can take a lot of damage. Here are the possible pool damage.
Water in swimming pools can mix with bodily fluids such as urine, sweat and saliva from other people in the pool. This can cause respiratory infections.
Irritation of the eyes
Chlorinated water in the pool can cause eye irritation. This can cause burning, redness and watery eyes.
Water in swimming pools can enter the ear canal and cause infections. It can cause symptoms such as ear pain, ear itching and hearing loss.
Allergic reactions from swimming pool water
Chemicals found in pool water, especially chlorine, can cause allergic reactions in some people. These reactions can cause redness of the skin, itching and a rash.
swimming pool accidents
Swimming pools can cause serious accidents, especially for children. Elements such as the depth of the pool, slides and ladders can cause accidents.
drown in the pool
Drowning in the pool is one of the most serious pool hazards. Failure to take safety precautions in the pool or swimming in the pool by people who are not experienced enough can cause drowning.
Are Indoor Swimming Pools Harmful?
Indoor pools are popular places to swim, especially during the winter months. However, having the pool closed can have many factors that can cause a buildup of harmful substances and respiratory infections.
In an indoor swimming pool there is more sweating due to the high temperature and this sweat mixes with the swimming pool water. Chlorine in the pool can mix with bodily fluids such as sweat and urine, causing more harmful substances to build up in the water. That is why it is important to regularly check the hygienic condition of indoor swimming pools and to clean the swimming pool regularly.
Ventilation of indoor swimming pools is also important. A good ventilation system removes the accumulated air in the pool and prevents the spread of harmful substances in the pool. However, lack of adequate ventilation allows the air in indoor pools to circulate without being refreshed, which can lead to respiratory infections.
High temperatures in indoor pools can cause bacteria and fungi to grow faster. This can cause skin irritation, itching, eczema and other skin problems, especially in sensitive individuals.
What are the disadvantages of chlorinated swimming pool water?
Chlorine is a disinfectant often used to prevent the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms in swimming pool water. However, continuous inhalation and contact with chlorinated pool water can pose health risks.
Chlorinated pool water can cause breathing problems. Chlorine gas that evaporates from pool water during swimming can cause respiratory irritation and cause breathing problems, especially in people with asthma. Also, if pool water remains in the ear canal after swimming, it can cause ear infections.
It also poses some risks to skin and hair health. Continued exposure to chlorinated pool water can cause the skin to lose its natural oils and moisture, which can cause dry, itchy and sensitive skin. Similarly, hair can be damaged by chlorinated pool water and become dry, dull and brittle.
With the effect of chemicals in chlorinated swimming pool water, discomforts such as redness, burning and itching in the eyes can also occur during swimming. Therefore, wearing goggles while swimming or rinsing your eyes after getting out of the pool can help prevent this discomfort.
Is chlorinated pool water really harmful?
Chlorinated pool water can cause respiratory problems and damage to skin and hair health. However, these risks can be avoided by regularly checking the sanitary conditions of the pool and using chlorine in the correct proportions.
How does swimming in the pool affect my eyes?
Under the influence of the chemicals in the pool water, discomfort such as redness, burning and itching in the eyes can occur during swimming. Wearing goggles or rinsing your eyes after getting out of the pool can help prevent such discomfort.
Are indoor pools more harmful than outdoor pools?
Indoor swimming pools can cause more breathing problems by breathing in the chlorinated vapor from the pool water. However, these risks can be avoided by regularly checking the sanitary conditions of the pool and using chlorine in the correct proportions.
What should I do before swimming in the pool?
Before entering the pool, you must take a shower and wash your body with soap. Also, do not constantly swallow water while swimming in the pool and take a shower immediately after swimming.
What is the infection risk in the pool?
There are some infection risks in swimming pools. Especially in swimming pools where the hygiene of the pool water is not regularly monitored, the risk of spreading diseases such as skin infections, ear infections and some gastrointestinal infections is higher.

Flood Control Infrastructure
Flood Risk Management in Los Angeles County is the primary responsibility of the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD), the Army Corps of Engineers, and the 88 Cities. The LACFCD, a special district regional agency has the largest channel and storm drain system in the county.
The LACFCD also has 14 dams to control storm water runoff. The Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, a Federal agency, has 4 major dams and open channels to control storm water runoff. Most cities have their own smaller drainage system. The largest city-owned drainage system belongs to the City of Los Angeles.
Flood Risk Management is also accomplished through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The County of Los Angeles and most cities are members of the NFIP. The NFIP has policies and procedures to reduce flood risk. Also, the County has adopted Floodways where building is prohibited.

The LoraxBased on the beloved book by Dr Seuss, this film adaptation sees Danny DeVito voice the titular ‘guardian of the trees’ as he tries to stop the humans from exploiting his beloved forest. This 3D animated feature has everything you’ve come to expect from a Hollywood family film: kid-friendly jokes, exciting chases and a clear-cut moral message. Throw in a couple of songs featuring The Hangover’s Ed Helms and you’ve got yourself a decent afternoon with your family in front of the telly!
Arthur ChristmasThe awkward son of Father Christmas, super-keen Arthur (voiced by James McAvoy) embarks on a magical adventure when Santa forgets to deliver one last gift! As with all their films, the men and women at Aardman Animation have packed this holiday gem with great visual gags and a touching story about the true meaning of Christmas in the modern age. Boasting an all-star cast and the same irreverent humour that made Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run such firm family favourites, Arthur Christmas should be at the top of this year’s wish list!
Lay the FavouriteBruce Willis puts in one of his best recent performances in this Las Vegas drama from High Fidelity director Stephen Frears. Ol’ Bruno plays a legendary gambler who employs and mentors Rebecca Hall, a beautiful young woman with a knack for picking winners. Whilst getting used to the ins and outs of the seedy gambling world, Hall gets caught up in a love rhombus with Willis, his trophy wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and Joshua Jackson’s charming hockey player

The Ryder Cup 2012Set within the cloistered fences of Medinah Country Club, the official film of the Ryder Cup 2012 tells a sporting story so unbelievable it could only be true. Watch Europe get crushed by their American opponents on the first two days of the tournament! See the Yanks congratulating each other a full 24 hours before the end of the competition! Observe as their smug grins disappear once Team USA realise they’ve squandered a 10-6 lead on the last day, losing what was generally accepted to be a ‘done deal’! Even the most casual sports fan will love this movie: buy it now and relive the highs of our generation’s finest sporting year!
OffenderA violent and gritty revenge thriller, Offender sees a young working-class man enter the prison system in order to exact revenge on his girlfriend’s assailants. Shot with style and bone-crushing panache, this Brit-flick looks to distinguish itself from the waves of gangster films pouring out of London every year. Lead actor Joe Cole (not that one) has been marked-out as one of Britain’s fastest rising stars, so you’ll want to make sure you see him here first!
Jay and Silent Bob Get Old: Teabagging in the UKYou can say what you will about the Kevin Smith’s movies; but the man really knows how to talk. Along with his long-time friend Jason Mewes, he toured a handful of UK theatres earlier this year, answering audience questions and telling stories from Hollywood and beyond. Anyone who has seen Smith’s earlier Q&A DVDs will tell you how incredibly funny he is as a public speaker. This new release promises to be just as hilarious. Featuring THREE full shows and running at almost 4 full hours, J&SBGO:TitUK is nothing if not terrific value!
LightspeedOfficially titled Stan Lee’s Lightspeed, this made-for-TV movie looks like it could be one of the best awful movies in years. Judging by the trailer, it’s a thinly-veiled rip-off of The Flash starring Jason “Son of Bond” Connery as government agent Daniel Leight. Injured during a mission, he receives radiation treatments that allow him to run at super speeds! The visual effects look truly rubbish, as does the acting. There’s a reason why Connery isn’t the definite Robin Hood of his generation. We’re not lying when we say that we’re really quite excited about seeing Lightspeed: it looks so bad that it must be good! Invite your friends around, order a couple of pizzas and prepare to hurl abuse at the TV!
The Penguin KingThere is only one thing British people love more than cute animals, and that’s royalty. Combining those two things is this new documentary narrated by national treasure David Attenborough. Charting their journey from adolescence to adulthood, there are scenes of extreme adorableness as well as a few moments of true tension. If you’re a junkie for British natural history docs, (and who isn’t?) you’re going to love The Penguin King.
The Elf that Rescued ChristmasChristmas cheer keeps trickling into blinkbox! When a magical crystal which helps deliver presents to children around the world goes missing, one of Santa’s little helpers must save the day! This computer-animated film from Finland has plenty to keep the little ‘uns happy: bright colours, cheeky dialogue and an inexplicably Jamaican reindeer! If you want to get the holiday season started early, why not take a punt on this kid-friendly feature?

ORLANDO, Fla. – It will be a great beach weekend with hazy sunshine dominating our skies. Expect a few puffy clouds to bubble up with the heating of the day.
While a stray downpour is possible, most of Central Florida will again be dry. If you need a couple of days of dry weather to get a project done outside, this may be your mid-summer opportunity.
With the lack of rain in the afternoon, however, the evenings will stay steamy.
Sunday will also be mainly dry with just a stray, passing downpour possible.
Sunshine will be out in full force for the weekend. High temperatures will top out around 90 degrees. There is a moderate risk for rip currents.
No new tropical development is expected over the next five days.

I've not found anything on this site about Orgonite, so I thought I'd tell you about it.
Orgonite is a simple mixture of fiberglass resin, metal flakes, and quartz crystal (the crystal isn't absolutely essential, but it increases the strength of orgonite).
It was researched and developed by a man named Don Croft, with the help of his wife Carol Croft. These two got the base concept and principles from the work of the late Dr.Wilhelm Reich. You can find out all about orgonite and what it does on the Crofts' site at: [link]
Orgonite is a very strong positive energy device that anybody can make in their own basement or backyard. All you do is pour resin and metal shavings into a mold (muffin pans are great molds), drop in a crystal, and let it harden. What pops out of the mold is a device that draws in negative energy and converts it to positive. This energy has gone by many names, the Chinese call it Chi or Qi, in India it's known as Prana, and some call it Life Force. The Crofts decided to follow Dr. Reich and call it Orgone energy, hence the name "Orgonite."
Thousands of people around the globe are making and distributing orgonite in their local environments, and getting great positive changes as a result. They often leave them near cell towers, nuclear plants, powerlines, and any other sources of nasty radiation energy. This activity is known as "orgonite gifting."
I can tell you from personal experience that it really works, so I encourage everyone to try it. Be careful though, there is quite a bit of disinfo out there about orgonite. If you stick to ethericwarriors.com and the sites they link to you won't be lead astray.

Marc Webb’s “Spider-Man” reboot is about to land it’s Peter Parker, possibly by as early as next week, reports Deadline. The studio were been busy looking at screen tests from the various candidates on Friday, including tests by actors Jamie Bell, Andrew Garfield, Logan Lerman, and Alden Ehrenreich. Frank Dillane and Michael Angerano were also on the final candidates list, but their tapes were not viewed on Friday.
Curiously, Josh Hutcherson is nowhere on the list. Does this mean he’s fallen off Sony’s radar? He’s one of the age-appropriate actors in the bunch, and his wealth of Hollywood blockbuster experience (while still being relatively an unknown) would seem to make him the ideal candidate.
The total opposite of Hutcherson is the 27-year old Andrew Garfield, who will be 29 by the time the film is ready to be released. Yup. A 27-year old playing a teenage Peter Parker. It’s so ridiculous, it’ll probably happen. Granted, Tobey Maguire was in his mid-20s too when he first landed the gig back in 2001, but his Spider-Man was never really about the teenage Parker, and always more about the college-bound/set version. Webb’s version, on the other hand, will be mired entirely in the hallways of a public high school. Or at least, that was the idea.
Whoever gets the job, they need to get it soon, so Webb can start casting the supporting characters and get the film into production by the end of this year. Sony has already penciled in a July 3, 2012 release date for the reboot.
And once Peter Parker is cast, we need to start harping on who will play Mary Jane…
