Newcomers are given a one-time-only pass, with no guarantee of becoming permanent. Always mindful of building its brand, the IOC likes popular games that will draw a new generation of fans. Olympic policy gives each host city an option of proposing additions to the 28 sports on the standard program. After months of discussions between the IOC and LA28 this summer, all five sports are likely to be approved. The International Olympic Committee will have the final say when it votes on L.A.’s recommendations at a session in Mumbai on Oct. “We were willing to challenge the status quo and think differently about what’s possible for the Games,” said Kathy Carter, the organizing committee’s chief executive. Cricket, lacrosse and squash complete the list. To no surprise, LA28 also wants to reinstate baseball and softball, which were played at the most recent Summer Olympics in Tokyo but will be absent in Paris next summer. The flag version of America’s favorite sport took another step toward its Olympic debut Saturday when Los Angeles organizers released a list of five “new” events they hope to include in the 2028 Summer Games. Las Vegas ended an eight-game skid against the Packers.įrom David Wharton: Are you ready for some football? The Raiders gained 279 yards and the Packers finished with 285. Love was 16 of 30 for 182 yards and the three picks. Jakobi Meyers caught seven passes for 75 yards and a TD. The Raiders’ offense did just enough, with Jimmy Garoppolo completing 22 of 31 passes for 208 yards and a touchdown while throwing his NFL-high seventh interception. Robert Spillane intercepted Green Bay’s Jordan Love twice, Amik Robertson made a game-sealing pick in the end zone, and the Las Vegas Raiders beat the Packers 17-13 to stop a three-game skid. Instead of igniting a potentially divisive competition, they worked well together, giving quarterback Matthew Stafford lots of options. Not only was Kupp in vintage form at the start, coach Sean McVay was finding ways to use him and rookie Puka Nacua, who had become a sensation over the Rams’ first four games. “It did feel good to be out there playing football again.” “Just things that I’m sure I’ll look at and just feel like this can happen a little bit faster. Seeing what defenses are doing and then being able to react to it,” he said of his reactions. “There’s some stuff, just processing, seeing the field. ![]() Kupp acknowledged he felt some rust, but he relished every sensation and thought. He was “Coop,” as fans at SoFi Stadium happily serenaded him while he piled up 56 receiving yards on the Rams’ first possession against the defending NFC champions and matched them score for score. ![]() NLDS SCHEDULEįrom Helene Elliott: For a few moments against the Eagles on Sunday, for a few precious plays, Cooper Kupp was his old self again, and it was a sight to see.įree of the ankle injury that had knocked him out last season in Week 10 and no longer bothered by the training-camp hamstring injury that delayed his debut this season, Kupp was once again the dynamic receiver who was voted the most valuable player in the Rams’ Super Bowl LVI comeback win, the elusive and smart route runner.

Just sayin that this isn't really what the RFB is good at. Find me another 260 REM assault rifle.Ģ60 - not really good at putting down bad guys (not that it is what you want to do)ģ08 - pretty dog gone good at putting down bad guysĢ60 makes a good accurate small to medium game round or longer range target shooter. With the contor of the buttstock I'd think the 50mm would be a bear to shoot and how does one get those GIANT rounds into FAL mags? Cant get the possibility of tiny groups, and less recoil, out of my thinking.īTW, I'm on the verge of commiting to a Savage 12LRP, in 6.5 Rem/Creedmore. the Beowulf would be the answer but I'm a confverted varmit/bench shooter. The 308 can throw a heavier bullet but I'm not gonna usem'. 308 load uses a 140-150 grainish bullet, best. 308 is known for its' ' inerrant accuracy', why doesnt the RFB negate it too? The typical. They (.260) fit in the FAL mags, nicely, the bullets have great ballistic numbers (Ballistic Coefficient & Sectional Density). I think it would be a good platform for something like 6.8SPC or even 50 Beowulf though. The 260 would be strangled by this platform in my humble opinion. The RFB was designed as a CQB rifle with decent capability out to medium range with 2MOA accuracy. The 260 REM is a good bolt gun round due to it's inerrant accuracy however, the RFB platform negates this. It's not really a good candidate for the RFB platform. ![]() Click to expand.With the contor of the buttstock I'd think the 50mm would be a bear to shoot and how does one get those GIANT rounds into FAL mags? 1/21/2024 0 Comments Chord geometry analysis mesh![]() ![]() ![]() Suzuki T, Takahashi S, Shepherd J (2010) An interior surface generation method for all-hexahedral meshing.

Rides great, changed tires, kept em balanced. She no longer vibrates and is really smooth. Paid to put in two new hydraulic engine mounts $400. In Nov 09 I replaced all four rotors and put in new pads, pads are easy. I also renovated the starter, put in new spark plugs, (remove what appears to be the engine valve cover top). Only $108 on line for a new one, via e-bay. Presently I have it for a couple weeks to replace the alternator before it fails. Added water and it came down to 13.6, just like the new alternator puts out. Battery water was low a year earlier and the voltage was running 15.5 volts and burning our rear overhead lamps like popcorn. Oh yeah, replaced the battery, this had the original, it is big, $100 and in the trunk. Be sure to take the brake sheet metal splash with ya. Gotta have someone press the split bearings in and out after removing the wheel from the suspension. A bear for a do it your self-er, but gratifying work. Put out a whine and I traced it to the bearing. (oops explained) - the right rear wheel bearing failed at 115,000. I replaced cooling hoses, coolant, new water pump, new viscous clutch, several oil and filter changes, air filter, and drained the auto tranny (AT) and torque converter, cleaned the AT filter. Nothing has failed (oops) but I have done preventative maintenance to keep things from failing. I gave it to my daughter as a college graduation present in 2007. However it does feel a little sluggish to me when accelerating from being stopped but that could just be my driving style and it feels like it takes a little longer than it should for the car to shift from first to second gear.Īt the moment I’m leaning toward #2 and don’t want to have to disassemble the shifter console if I don’t have too.I bought my 99 C-230 with 99,000. The car doesn’t seem to have any shifting problems while driving. And since there’s no dipstick, thanks MB, I’m not sure if it’s low on fluid or not. Since I bought this care used I’m not sure when its last transmission filter change was. Could this be causing the problem? When I am able to shift gears the shifting is smooth and does not feel sticky at all.Ģ. It’s been there for about two weeks and I haven’t noticed any problems up to this point. It appears as if someone has spill soda, although it does not appear to be very much, in the gear shifter. It seems to happen the majority of the time but not every time. I guess I’m looking for some input on what the problem could be. (I did not try and force the shifter because I’m not a complete moron and know when to stop before causing more serious damage.) After troubleshooting the problem for a few minutes I discovered that if I go from D to N and wait for around 5 seconds then it will move past to R, then P. However this morning when I went to put the car in park from drive the shifter would not go past neutral no matter what I tired. I recently purchased it in July of this year and haven’t had any problems with it yet. I have a 2000 C230 Kompressor with around 110,000 miles on it. 1/21/2024 0 Comments Prognocis my health records![]() Take appointment and also view the statuses of your previously scheduled, requested, and tentative appointments.

The appeal of prefabricated speaker cables with banana plug termination is you don't have to do anything. But, for the connection to a speaker, or for stereo amps, a 90-degree banana plug that allows the cable to hang straight down could be preferable to straight plugs. Straight banana plugs are great for fitting into the tight confines of the rear panel on modern AVRs and multi-channel amps. The other attachment method is a simple screw, which can be secured very tightly and has no issues securing even very thick or stiff speaker wire. Just be sure to make it nice and tight! This method works well for smaller gauges, but can be challenging with 10-gauge wire, or wire with thick strands. You thread the wire through the center, spread the strands, and tighten the tip - no tools are needed. Some integrate the lock into the tip, think of this as the "self-crimping" variety. The add-on banana plugs in this list are attached to the bare wire in one of two ways. ![]() With multi-channel amps and AVRs, this can prevent silly mistakes. But with properly installed banana plugs, it's easy to tell what's positive and negative. Sometimes, with speaker wire, it can be difficult to determine the polarity of a lead. Also, a key benefit of banana plugs is the clear visual labeling of positive and negative polarity. And finally, you want a plug that stays put and provides a good electrical connection when you install it.īecause electrical short circuits are a bad thing, all the choices in this list feature non-conductive casings. The plug needs to accommodate the gauge of the cable you use. A solid connection to the wire itself, so your DIY cables won’t come apart. There are several qualities to look for: A non-conductive casing, so they won’t short out. ![]() You may be wondering what makes for a good banana plug. ![]() They also will help the back of your speakers and receiver look nicer and reduce the messy look of all the wires. These wall plates will generally just have a jack for a banana plug. Another benefit comes when you are doing behind the wall installations and using wall plates (as opposed to just leaving a big hole in the wall). With banana plugs, you ensure this won't ever happen. Wires tend to get pulled out or frizzy as time passes, which can affect your sound quality. Often bare speaker wire connections are unreliable. Not only do they help your installation look cleaner, but banana plugs also give you a permanent and high-quality connection. There are many benefits of using banana plugs with your speaker wire. Alternatively, you can buy preassembled speaker cables that already feature banana plugs that are available at various lengths. Instead of twisted bare wire that's hard to thread into speaker terminals, you'll enjoy a fast and easy cable installation.īanana plugs are available as an add-on to bulk speaker wire, and making your own custom-length cable is an easy and rewarding DIY project. You can add Banana plugs to bare speaker wire, making it much easier to deal with. That makes the Strike the smallest premium banana plug out there, giving you the cleanest looking termination possible and allowing you to put your equipment as close to the wall as you need to.Banana plugs are an easy and effective way to wire your equipment so it all goes together smoothly. The Strike is less than 1.5 inches long, and less than half of that length will actually be extending out of your equipment once the Strike is plugged in. Many banana plugs are about 2 inches long. The final aspect we wanted to address with the Strike Plugs is size. Screw the back of the banana plug back down to clamp down on the wire and give a secure termination.Keep pressing the wire into the banana plug until you can’t push it any farther to ensure a good connection. ![]() Feed the bare conductor of the speaker wire through the hole in the bottom of the plug.Unscrew the bottom of the plug about half way.Each plug can be installed in a matter of seconds. Not only does V-Lock Technology give you a more secure, higher quality connection, it also makes it extremely quick and easy to install your banana plugs. 1/20/2024 0 Comments San diego zoo safari park platypusThe animals were transported to Taronga early the next morning and are now doing well.
