Semiautomatic (Brooklyn/Giobberti)


Semiautomatic (Brooklyn/Giobberti) by Due Torre

List Price: $2.99

The follow-up to Reuland's critically acclaimed debut novel Hollowpoint.

“Rob Reuland writes beautifully—about sadness and cities and injured dreams. First with Hollowpoint and now with Semiautomatic, he has renewed my faith in the health and future of the urban crime novel.” —Dennis Lehane

“Semiautomatic is notable not for violence but for subtle characterizations, moral ambiguities and exceptional writing. Reuland has been, like Gio, a prosecutor in Brooklyn. Many lawyers publish novels these days, and most express themselves with clarity. But not many lawyers (or non-lawyers, for that matter) produce fiction that is fresh, surprising and lyrical, as Reuland does. Some readers may find Semiautomatic too inward for their tastes, but in stylistic terms it's the best-written legal thriller I've ever read, hands down.” —Washington Post

Reuland's elegant, hard-edged, and oftentimes funny writing has inspired one critic to name him the "bastard child of Raymond Chandler and Ernest Hemingway." With Semiautomatic, Reuland delivers another fist-in-the-gut portrait of criminal justice inside the courtroom and on the darkened street corners of Brooklyn. But more than anything Reuland captures lives on the edge, men and women working and dying in a very real world that most of us never see, although it exists right under our noses. Reuland shows us that world in searing detail without flinching, although we may want to. Read more...

Open Season: Victory for state's gun owners

11.07.11

Massachusetts' law-abiding gun owners chalked up another victory recently in late June when Rep. Antonio Cabral agreed to put his anti-gun bill (H.639) into a "study, where it will die," pledged Rep. Cabral. The state representative from New Bedford filed the bill which had the potential to ban all manual action firearms, including bolt, pump, lever and slide action rifles and shotguns, as well as semiautomatic rifles, which would have put an end to hunting and most informal and formal target shooting in the state. It also would have cost billions in lost revenue, taxes, conservation program funding, etc.

Semi-automatic PCB drill press - Hack a Day

by Mike Szczys

Kiss the days of breaking bits while drilling through-hole PCBs goodbye thanks to this semi-automatic drill press  ( translated ). Now it’s not going to line up the bit with the exact location of the hole (that would make it a fully automatic drill press). This works by lining up the board manually, then stepping on a pedal to activate the plunging motion of the drill.

A linear motor is responsible for the smooth, accurate motion along the Z-axis. Many hobby setups use a Dremel drill press, or even rely on prayer-based systems such as doing it free-hand with a rotary tool or by using a piece of acrylic as a guide hole. The hobby drill press tends to have some play in it and free-handing with tiny bits that are as fragile as glass both result in far too many broken drill bits. In the video after the break you can see that the linear motion is perfectly plumb with the table of the device, preventing the movements that cause breakage. The addition of the pedal makes it easy to position the boards because you can use both hands.
