No, this is not a distasteful remark. It is but one possible message created by two, hot new products that can make many foods talk". Messages, logos, advertisements or just plain images, can easily, beautifully, and instantly be embossed onto many foods we eat. Edible treats, snacks, and meals can now communicate and come alive with words and announcements having fun experiences and lasting memories.

Meals become a tantalizing experience and occasion. Can you imagine pizzas, ice-creams, bananas, brownies, butters, cheeses, potatoes, pineapples, cucumbers, zucchinis, eggplants, watermelons and cantaloupes becoming real foods for thought"? Signature dishes, become just that. Happy meals talk to us. Restaurants, caterers, chefs, home cooks, hotels, cruise ships, amusement parks, cafeterias, and countless other places that serve foods in more than forty-one countries are hungry to own the Roller" and the Stamper". These new, innovative, hand-operated kitchen tools are the brilliant inventions of Rich Errera. They are nothing less than revolutionary and spectacular. They can creatively and uniquely give voice to dinners, fast foods; reinforce an eaterys brand, advertise, or simply announce special occasions like birthdays and weddings. Its as easy as pie to roll or stamp out limitless messages of ones choice onto foods that are served, presented, or eaten and in any language. There's even an optional food coloring capability. They can also cut strips of food as they emboss (great to make bread sticks).

Laforza Automobiles

1992 Saab 900 Turbo - I don't know what the numbers are, but I suspect that throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, New England was one of Saab's biggest markets. Saab 900s were commonplace here.

Not anymore.

Classic Saab Turbos are getting hard to find. Ones like this are getting extremely hard to find. This car, having spent its life in California is in very nice condition.

This is a no reserve auction. If I were in the market for a Saab Turbo, I'd fly to CA and drive this one back east. I can't think of a better way to spend a week.

1969 Sunbeam Alpine GT - I wrote about this car back in February. You can find the post here.

I'm always a little skeptical of a reserve auction where the seller mentions the NADA price in his ad. But, there's no harm in bidding what you think it's worth and seeing what happens.

This is not a show car, but a nice driver that could be turned into a very nice driver.

1989 Laforza - I haven't posted a Laforza in quite awhile. This one is a 17,000 mile vehicle that appears to be in great shape.

Timing is everything in life and Laforza's timing sucked. It was introduced just before luxury SUVs became extremely popular. Most people weren't used to the idea of spending huge money on an SUV. The company that was importing / building them failed. Another company relaunched it after luxury SUVs became popular. By then most major car manufacturers were building one of their own. With so many choices available, the Laforza was overlooked. That company also failed.

It's a testament to this truck that after 2 failed to attempts to market it, it still commands a decent price in the marketplace.

Handsome Is As Handsome Does: LaForza on eBay

Father Guido Sarducci's endorsement of the Handsome Boy Modeling School:

"...their sixty dollar course has changed my life. Since my graduation I've traveled to Prague, Milan, Paris, and Buffalo, New York. And I now drive a fifty-thousand dollar LaForza automobile. With full suede package, with subwoofer, and with specially designed custom glass rims."

And now you too can own a LaForza! This one doesn't have the blinged-out options like Father Guido has, but it's a better deal — if you can call owning a LaForza a deal. More after the jump.

The LaForza was an obscure Italian SUV made a few years back. It's supposed to compete with the Range Rover. Our personal knowledge of the LaForza is lacking, so if you know anything feel free to contribute in the comments.

We can giveyou some juicy bits from the item description, which may or may not be borrowed from a 1989 Car and Driver article:

And, although the La Forza uses an American Ford 5.0 liter engine, and a stout, Chrysler four-wheel drive system, the La Forza is Indeed Italian. It has a suspension derived from a Fiat built army truck, a sumptuous leather interior, and an all steel body that spends nine hours going though the same Pinninfarina line where the Ferrari Testarossa is painted.

Indeed. Also, the powertrain was assembled in Brighton, Michigan. Like we said we have no idea how the LaForza holds up, let alone drives. This one only has 57,000 miles and looks to be in pretty amazing shape. And think about this — you finally have a chance to own a rare, luxury Italian car.

Sperry Autopilot

Mayfair Resolution at anchor off Bangor Northern Ireland she has been seen loaded with Wind Turbines built at Harland & Wolf Belfast. These were then transported to the Barrow Wind Farm.

Overall length130.5m Breadth (moulded)38.00m Depth (moulded) 8.00m Capacity 10 x 3.5MW offshore wind turbines Maximum payload 8,950 Te Maximum cargo area 3,200m² Maximum deck loading10.00 Te/m²

Full specifications

The Mayflower Resolution has been designed to install wind turbines in hostile coastal environments. It was constructed in China’s Shanhaiguan shipyard at Qinhuangdao.

As soon as the six-leg vessel arrives at the installation site, it is manoeuvred into place using dynamic positioning and jacked clear of the water, turning the ship into a stable working platform.

The Mayflower Resolution has an overall length of 130.5m, a moulded breadth of 38m and a moulded depth of 8m. It has a lightship displacement of 12,300t at a 2.89m draught and an 8,950t displacement at a 5m draught. It registers 14,547gt. The ship has an 8,950t maximum payload and a 3,200m² maximum cargo area which can withstand loading of 10t/m². The vessel’s ballast capacity is 8,832m³ in 13 tanks. The system has a pair of two-speed ballast pumps of 1,000m³/h capacity.

DECK MACHINERY
The Mayflower Resolution employs a cylinder type jacking system with each leg handled by four primary and four secondary cylinders. These are retained in position by catch beams which are housed in catch beam rings attached to the jacking cylinders. The system elevating capacity is 2,500t per leg and holding capacity is 5,000t per leg.

The vessel is equipped with one Kenz EHC 300 / 5500 O.S. pedestal-mounted rope-luffing electric hydraulic offshore crane of 300t capacity at 25.5m radius and 50t at 78m radius. The other crane’s capacity is 50t up to maximum radius of 35m.

VESSEL POWER
Vessel power is supplied from two sets of two Mitsubishi S16R-MPTK-2 main generators, with a capacity of 1,920kW at 1,800rpm, and two Mitsubishi S6B-MPTA harbour generators (276kW at 1,800rpm) located in each of two engine rooms, port and starboard. One Mitsubishi 6D24TC emergency generator, which supplies 210kW at 1,800rpm, is located in a separate room in way of No.2 leg. Power distribution is via two switchboard rooms, port and starboard. Main power is 690V AC which is transformed to 440V AC and 220V AC for auxiliary machinery and small power consumers.

PROPULSION AND STEERING
The vessel is equipped with four azimuthing thrusters for propulsion and steering. It has four Aquamaster US 205 / 3850Azimuth thrusters units with a capacity of 1,500kW. These use ABB AMA4xxLxL units at 1,800rpm as the main motors. There are also three 700kW Kamewa TT1650 CP bow thrusters based on ABB AMA400L6L motors.

NAVIGATION, COMMUNICATIONS AND CONTROL
The Mayflower Resolution is equipped with a class compliant dynamic positioning control system. This is a Kongsberg Simrad SDP 11 unit using Fanbeam laser, DGPS. Environmental monitoring is by three gyrocompass units, dual pitch and roll sensors and dual wind sensor units. Additionally there is an independent joystick control system to control the vessel operation in the event of DP system malfunction.

The ship is also equipped with an Ulstein Marine Automation System (UMAS) for monitoring and control of the vessel’s operational functions. The UMAS is linked to the bilge, ballast, fuel oil and cooling water, diesel generators, high voltage switchboards and thruster monitoring systems.

The Mayflower Resolution is equipped with class compliant communication and navigation systems for worldwide operation. Equipment installed includes dual radar systems, Jotron GMDSS HF/MF and VHF systems, Inmarsat-B and Inmarsat-C communication systems, an independent Sperry Marine autopilot system, Sperry Marine echo sounder and Litton water speed doppler log unit. Vessel position is constantly confirmed by two independent global positioning systems. Weather forecast data is obtained by weather fax and Furuno Navtex reports.

CREW AND NOTATION
The Mayflower Resolution has a regular crew of 34. With the addition of the erection team, the vessel will hold between 60 and 70 people during turbine installations. It is registered with DNV under the notation class +1A1, Self-Elevating Unit, Crane, Dynpos AUT, E0.

This aircraft navigation device is commonly known as a gyro pilot or automatic pilot. This device automatically steers aircrafts. They’re also used on ships to help maintain a course for the pilot’s. They’re used to make up for human error.

The automatic pilot for charter jets actually contains two gyroscopes. The vertical gyro controls the ailerons and elevators of the charter jet. The gyros compass controls rudder. Corrective signals to the charter jet controls are produced when the aircraft moves from its proper course and attitude. These signals are voltage displacements which are amplified and sent to servo units, which are small electric motors that move the aircraft’s controls.

Lawrence Sperry, son of Elmer Sperry in 1914 invented and demonstrated an automatic gyroscopic stabilizing device for airplanes using four gyroscopes. In 1932 the Sperry Gyroscope Company developed its first gyro pilot flight control for modern airplanes.

This automatic pilot was installed on Wiley Post’s airplane the “Winnie Mae.” The automatic pilot’s helped Post make the first flight around the world. The gyro pilot is also used in ships to control the rudder by corrective signals from a gyro compass. The first automatic pilot for ships was used on the Standard Oil tanker J. A. Moffett in the early 1920’s. In ships the gyro pilot is often called the Iron Quartermaster or Metal Mike.

What the gyroscope is today actually is a mechanical device which seems to defy the force of gravity. A gyroscope is sometimes called a gyro, is basically a spinning wheel mounted on a moving frame. A toy gyroscope can perform truly amazing tricks! It can balance at an angle on end of your finger even if you move your hand about.

To try one out, balance one on the edge of a drinking glass and if you try to push it gently done, it will not fall! If you point the axle of a rapidly gyroscope at the sun, the end of the axle will appear to follow the sun as it crosses the sky. All this is important because the gyroscope holds its original position in space while the earth turns under it. All in all the gyroscope’s practical uses pertain not just to charter jets and ships, but to railroad surveying, in gunnery, in oil well drilling as well as many other uses too!
