The exhibition is organised in partnership with the City of Bergamo and its Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara, Bergamo.
The paintings in the Renaissance exhibition are on loan from the Accademia Carrara, Bergamo, which is closed for renovations. The city of Bergamo is situated in the province of Lombardy in Northern Italy, near Milan. Giovanni Valagussa, curator of the exhibition, describes the institution's fascinating history, going back more than two centuries, in the Renaissance catalogue.
The Accademia has had a dual purpose since its inauguration in 1810: as an art gallery and as a school.
Its core collection is attributed to three collectors, each with a distinct style: Count Giacomo Carrara, Count Guglielmo Lochis and Giovanni Morelli. Carrara bequeathed large numbers of drawings and prints, anticipating they would be used for teaching. Lochis collected mainly paintings by famous artists. Morelli's skill was in discovering high quality works in unexpected places.
The decisions made at various periods of this institution's development reflect the attitudes of the time and the personalities of those entrusted with its care.
In retrospect, the decision in 1835 to sell at auction a large portion of the collection, leaving only 500 paintings, seems incomprehensible. The justification at the time was to make space and reflect the 'climate of triumphant Neoclassicism, the style the students were required to absorb'.
Subsequent custodians of the collection have lamented the works sold at auction, but the event reflects that for a century the main function of the Accademia Carrara was as a teaching institution. 'In 1912, for the first time, the institution decided on a modern and more general structure.' From this point on the school and gallery had separate functions.
Giovanni Valagussa states that the closure for renovation 'opens up a broad range of ideas for the future of this venerable institution'.
Further information on the history of the Accademia Carrara and the paintings in the Renaissance exhibition can be found in the exhibition catalogue.

On November 3 the National Gallery of Australia announced the second National Indigenous Art Triennial, unDisclosed.
From May to July 2012, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the dynamic visual expression of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. From across the country, 20 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists have been selected to represent Indigenous arts today. The artists hail from various regional centres, remote communities and capital cities in Australia—from the 'Top End' of Australia, including the Torres Strait Islands, down to the south-west of Western Australia and the southern isle of Tasmania.
The exhibition's theme, 'unDisclosed', alludes to the spoken and the unspoken, the known and the unknown, what can be revealed and what cannot. It captures the duality of the disclosed and undisclosed embedded within the works and the exhibition as a whole. Viewers are invited to unearth the layers of hidden and subtle meanings and to place them alongside those that are conspicuous.
This exhibition was announced as part of the Wesfarmers Partnership for National Gallery Indigenous Art Programs.

Max Dupain's Sunbaker is now hanging in the 'Surrealism' Gallery on level 2.
Sunbaker was taken while Dupain was on holiday at Culburra, on the New South Wales South Coast, in 1937, a time when the possibility of a war in Europe was becoming more and more likely.
The sunbaker, Dupain's friend the Englishman Harold Salvage, is completely one with the land. He lies with his back exposed to the sun, seawater and sweat sparkling on his skin. Dupain used a low-angle shot, which transforms the simple shapes of the man's oval head and triangular torso into a mountain-like outcrop set against the horizon.
caption: Max Dupain 'Sunbaker' 1937 gelatin silver photograph printed c.1975 National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
The body's strange domination of the composition and the rather ominous, mysterious and dreamlike mood created by Dupain show the influence of Surrealism on his style at this time in his career.

The Brumbies took a step closer to a home Super Rugby play-off on Friday with a 27-19 win over the Rebels in Melbourne.
The Brumbies took a step closer to a home Super Rugby play-off on Friday with a 27-19 win over the Rebels in Melbourne.
The result sees the Brumbies move five points clear of the Reds – who have a bye this week – at the top of the Australian conference ahead of the June break.
Coach Jake White will however have been disappointed to see his team restricted to just two tries against the lowly Rebels, who put up a gallant fight.
Like most of the Aussie derbies this season, it was far from a classic clash but the visitors ground out four tournament points that could prove vital in the make up of the knockout fixtures.
The Brumbies' performance could be described as workmanlike, at best, and White will know a massive step up will be needed if they are to progress into the final four, especially when this display is compared to the Crusaders' demonstration earlier in the day.
The Brumbies looked comfortable early on and cruised into a 9-0 lead via penalties from Jesse Mogg and Zack Holmes.
Julian Huxley pulled three points back for the Rebels but when prop Jono Owen was sent to the sin-bin and Brumbies centre Andrew Smith then crossed the whitewash in the 25th minute after a series of phases, it looked like the hosts were in for a hiding.
The Rebels regrouped however and dominated the closing minutes of the half. Huxely added two more penalties to narrow the gap to 14-9 before fly-half James Hilgendorf was denied a try by the TMO after a brilliant solo effort on the stroke of half-time.
Huxely made sure they did get something for their efforts however and the two-point gap (14-12) at half-time was probably a fair reflection of the opening 40 minutes.
The Brumbies took control back in the opening stages of the second period as Holmes added a penalty before Robbie Coleman found his way into the corner.
The conversion from Holmes put the Brumbies well clear at 24-12 but the Rebels weren't ready to roll over just yet.
Cooper Vuna struck back almost immediately when the Brumbies made a hash of the restart. Huxley added the extras with another good kick to reduce the deficit to five points.
But the Rebels would not score again and Holmes' fourth penalty provided the only points of the final quarter as the Brumbies shut up shop.
The scorers:
For the Melbourne Rebels:
Try: Vuna
Con: Huxley
Pens: Huxley 4
For the Brumbies:
Tries: Smith, Coleman
Cons: Holmes 3
Pens: Mogg 2, Holmes
Yellow card: Owen (Rebels – 24th min – not rolling away)
Melbourne Rebels: 15 Julian Huxley, 14 Mark Gerrard, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 Stirling Mortlock (C), 11 Cooper Vuna, 10 James Hilgendorf, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Hugh Perrett, 6 Luke Jones, 5 Hugh Pyle, 4 Cadeyrn Neville, 3 Jono Owen, 2 Adam Freier, 1 Nic Henderson.

AG, FBI warn against across-the-board spending cut
The nation's two top law enforcement officers have warned that looming across-the-board spending cuts at the Justice Department and the FBI would erode public safety in every city and town in the nation.
The impending cuts would cause FBI furloughs equivalent in size to closing the bureau's offices in Chicago, Miami and Baltimore, slash the number of civil and criminal cases filed by federal prosecutors and delay the full use of four new prisons while taxing the ability to keep inmates and guards safe.
Attorney General Eric Holder said the cuts would impact safety in every city and town in the country.
FBI Director Robert Mueller said if cuts take place, the bureau would be required to do less in all its programs, including against al-Qaida and its affiliated groups.

Congress should not cut off funds to our troops like they did to stop the Vietnam war. They need to cut off funds to the CIA and the United Nations, because the CIA has started each war every time we elect a new president.
The CIA gave false information to Pres. Bush and the Senate Intelligence Committee which got us involved in the Iraq war. It was the CIA who promoted the Tonkin Gulf incident (to wag the president"s tail) that started the Vietnam war.
It was the CIA who had Gen. Douglas MacArthur fired by Pres. Truman during the Korean war because we tried to win. It is now the CIA who attempts to keep this war going by not going after Osama Bin Laden, the very symbol of terrorism.

A parathyroidectomy is a surgery to remove parathyroid glands. There are 4 parathyroid glands located in the neck. The glands make a hormone that balance the level of calcium in the blood.
Parathyroid and Thyroid Glands (Back View)
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The surgery is done to remove 1 or more abnormal parathyroid glands. The glands can be overactive, or abnormal due to cancer or for other reasons.
A minimally invasive approach is usually done if only 1 gland needs to be removed. If more than 1 gland needs to be removed or if the doctor needs to do additional surgery in the neck, a conventional approach may used instead, which involves making larger incisions.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Complications may include:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications, such as:
Your doctor will:
You should:
General anesthesia is used most often. It will block any pain and you will stay asleep through the surgery. In some cases, local anesthesia and sedation may be used instead. The area will be numb but you will be awake.
There are different types of minimally invasive surgeries that may be used, such as:
A small incision will be made in the neck. A small tube with a tiny camera will be passed through the incision. The images from the camera will be sent to a TV monitors so the doctor can see the glands. Other small tools will be passed through the tube to detach and remove the gland. Once the gland has been removed, the incision will be closed with stitches.
A radioactive substance will be injected into your body. The abnormal gland will absorb the substance but the healthy glands will not. A small incision will be made in the neck and a small probe will be inserted. The probe will detect signals that are given off by the radioactive substance in the abnormal gland. This will help the doctor find the abnormal gland. Other small tools will be passed through the tube to detach and remove the gland. Once the gland has been removed, the incision will be closed with stitches.
With either surgery, if all 4 glands were removed, a part of one gland may be placed in a different area of the neck or in the forearm.
Between 30 minutes and 1-2 hours (depending on the type of surgery)
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
You may need to stay in the hospital for a day or you may be able to leave the same day. Ask your doctor if this is an option for you. Your doctor may also choose to keep you longer if you have any problems.
After your surgery, the hospital staff will:

This will be very useful and I like the idea of Goldenskate's experts and dedicated volunteers doing it themselves, collectively. Our own little Wikipedia! only more reliable.
unless I missed it...it might be good to go to the very basics and define "inside edge", "outside edge", and "edge", since those words are used a lot to define other "terms".
Next and more imporant, where do you intend to put this handy reference once it is all sorted out?
I'm not against it but the task is formidable. It would be great for a serious figure skating librarian wannabee.
don't have time to read through all of the terms that people have listed
but two we use a lot around competition time are "skate gods" which has a couple of different meanings... the one that comes ot mind for me has to do with Brian Orser and Scott Hamilton giving each other the title of 'skate god for the day' during their years of competing together... Kurt Browning was given teh title in 87 or 88 after Scott saw him hit a quad in practice (? fellow Kurt fans help me out!) but I think he was known as "skategod jr" (they had these titles written on their skate blades, 'legend' has it lol) Kurt Browning gave Scott Hamilton the title of SkateGod for Life after his return from cancer in 97...
but I think when we're talking about skate gods on here it's normally our way of blaming bad performances and judging on a higer power lol
then there's the waxel, which I read of first in Kurt Brownings (way outdated) autobiography... and that's a jump that goes up... but comes down all wrong... most typically given to a very bad fall/landing on an Axel jump IIRC.
Any other types of spins
The different types of lifts
Divisions / age groups
Dance specific elements.
Dance Programs - what are they and length
Russian Split Jump
Transitions - what are they?
The ones that you don't, paste onto the end of your post. As far as spins and lifts I guess we'll figure that out - what is missing. Or someone could just list all the "spin variations" they know and we'll go from there.
I figure that we can start a "Draft 2" list on this thread keeping in alphabetical order, once another 30 term/Defs or so come up I can compile in a couple of different ways so don't worry about that yet. I'll deal with the confusing part of getting it together and looking for duplicates and missing, etc... but help will always be appreciated.

Joe is right. Here are a couple of links that are good:
Thanks for the links, they are useful and have been.
Just to be perfectly clear, I don't think the intent is to be 100% thorough in compiling this. I don't think any of those lists are either. Just something that is GS's that can provide simple answers a majority of the time without leaving the site.
I am glad Joe has pointed out the fact a complete and up-dateable glossary is likely an impossibility - for whoever may have not realized that to start with.
I would still think that terms like "snark" or other slang could be thrown in there quite easily as well. I was aware, and I think some were too, that there are other places to find these definitions - Skate Journal was a bookmark I had and forgot all about it - but as others have said, it will be nice for some. Particularly in the basics, clarification and this forums "lingo."

I really like this idea! We can all learn something from it. Be sure to save it often. You may have to repost it sometime if newbies have questions. Posts are saved here for a very long time, so you might be able to just save the link.
I can't help with a great many of the technical terms. There is one term that took me a while to figure out-
Toe axel: It's a pre-rotated double toe loop usually seen as a second jump in a combination. The skater errs by doing a half turn on the ice prior to jumping. This means that the skater is actually jumping from a forward position and rotating 1 and 1/2 times in the air before landing, which makes it similar to the axel jump.
This was off the top of my head, so someone please correct me if it's wrong.
Sour cow: a salchow gone bad
I don't know where this is going to go once there is enough to make a place for it - or if some of the "forum Leads" want anything to do with it
But I am thinking either a "sticky that is locked" where the additions or edits would be sent to a Mod, or under the FAQ and listed just as the forum guidelines and such are. That is where I looked when I first joined.
Anyhoo, I love the additions and say keep them coming, I will sift and submit for a final "approval" - or more. I say vague is pretty good on some, just to get the gist of meaning, and some of the humor is great too. JAT - (just a thought)
Also the length of the thread never occurred to me - just look at the "Word Association" and "this or that" - those are much lengthier than I think this will need to be before we say, that is a good amount for general knowledge.
I would still LOVE for someone to take the Dance specifics terms.
I know what a Pop is, but how do I explain it???? I do them insensately! I guess if I could "beat them" I might be able to explain - or visa versa.

If we eventually get a document that we are proud of, maybe we could put it on the Golden Skate main page (click on site map, put a third link under "forum?")
BTW, the GS main page has all kinds of figure skating goodies to explore. Check it out, if you usually just come straight to the forum.
For instance, right now it has a link to the results of the Dupage Open. U.S. junior champion Megan Hyatt skating in seniors almost matched Alyssa Czisny in the LP, 89.34 to 95.96.
But Alyssa was way ahead after a super SP, netting a monster 66.50 in the short. For comparison, the top SPs at the Olympics were Cohen, 66.73, Slutskaya, 66.70 and Arakawa, 66.02.
I think too, the T&D placement would have to be approved by the GS Administrator. MODs are not in position for altering the GS makeup.
In a combination, doesn't the second jump have to take off immediately from the same edge used to land the first jump? The definition just says "foot".
let's not forget the backflip and its history... it may not be Olympic Eligible... but it certainly deserves a seat...
and while we're at it, don't forget Mike Weiss' twist on the backflip... also known as the Tornado

Wasn't impressed
"I like to be different & have not seen anyone in the area that I live wearing anything like this so I thought what the heck, & I ordered them online. They are cute, very easy to walk in & it's definitely like walking in a regular wedge shoe, but I just wasnt completely sold on them so I returned them. I can't describe it but I felt like I had hooves, LOL! They are not for me but definitely would look awesome on others, I'm sure of that!"

"These shoes are gorge! They feel a little weird at first, but a little practice walking will do the trick. They run true to size. They are very stylish, and even though the heel is missing, they are still pretty high. I gave this shoe four stars because I wouldn't recommend these shoes at all for long amounts of standing because I can already feel like your ankles will be in a lot of pain."

Me likey this show, but I'd much rather be seeing Carrie Brownstein playing guitar in Sleater Kinney. At least I got to see their last tours in NYC.
Me likey this show, but I'd much rather be seeing Carrie Brownstein playing guitar in Sleater Kinney. At least I got to see their last tours in NYC.
I Like the show a lot! I like that I don't have to be okay with things that are not that funny to get to the funny parts. I just straight up think it's funny. I guess cause I feel like it's about me.
I really love this show, too. It's so funny, smart, well-performed, and dead-on in its satire. It actually reminds me a lot of the two years I lived in Madison, WI. Different climates, same kinds of people.
I had no idea until this year that Carrie Brownstein was such a funny actress and sketch writer in addition to being an incredible musician and songwriter.
I couldn't agree more about Sleater-Kinney, Chaza. I only saw them once in concert (back in '01 or so at Bowery Ballroom in NYC), but they were amazing. Corin Tucker's voice was blasting the nicotine stains off the ceiling. I lucked out that their opening act was the White Stripes before they started with the red-and-black color coordinated thing. They were just wearing jeans and t-shirts. They sounded great, though.
Can't wait to hear that interview, Jesse.

Shell art is over!
I agree the third episode was the best yet. Sarah Mclachlan and Aimee Mann were perfect in their roles. There's nothing like really specific, smart and satirical sketch to make me laugh out loud. So well done. Does anyone know how many episodes the season will go for?
Unfortunately, only six. Let's hope for a season two. I love this show.
i thought at the start of the series the sketches suffered from the old SNL problem of going on too long (especially the Colin the Chicken cult thing) but this latest episode really worked well. Aimee Mann going home before coming back for the encore was really nicely done.
I wonder if people in Portland like the show.
Then there are those that think its terrible that it makes us all look like weirdo idiots. Some also worry about people wanting to move here after seeing how "hip" it is.
I posted some Reddit links earlier in the thread of "discussions" that were happening with Portlanders. Funny and infuriating discussions.
I liked it when they were apologizing to Aimee Mann saying
"Sorry about the music industry"
l like that when I'm watching an ep of this show it feels like it should almost be over because there's been so much good stuff, and I look at the clock and it's only 9:38 and there's still 22 minutes left. I guess what I'm saying is I love this show.
I hope Lorne sees this six episode run as a positive experiment and brings some of its sensibility into SNL. And while I'm an SK/Spells fan I'd be perfectly happy if Fred and Carrie decide to do comedy together for the rest of their lives. Wild Flag isn't everything a 2/3rds of Sleater-Kinney plus Mary Timony supergroup should be.
Also, so are Fred and Carrie a couple or what? I know Fred was dating Abby Elliott some time ago but Carrie recently clarified in the press that she was bi and not gay and Fred says he'd rather hang out with Carrie and make comedy than do anything else and when I see them together I feel giddy and get butterflies in my stomach because there could be no more perfect couple ever.
I loved last night's episode. The reading debate, Kumail Nanjiani at Wireless Toys, and then the mayor's explanation of his reggae style. I laughed out loud more than once. I felt like this episode had a bit more structured writing and more straight-ahead jokes. Anyway, keep it up!
We're having a Portlandia mini marathon. This show is amazing. "Keep your head in the party zone."
I hope this show stays around forever!
many tine tanies
For whatever reason "eco ways to sit" cracks me up every time I hear it in the Did You Read sketch. This show is so goood.
I like this show better when it's satirizing hipsterdom. I didn't get a lot of laughs out of the out-of-leftfield randomness of the kumail/reggae/house-sitter stuff.
I love this show. There's something about it that reminds me of "Stella," though I can't say why. The main storyline of the fourth episode with the mayor was closest to that, I think.
Patiently waiting for the pot episode and the episode that exposes the juxtaposition between hipster and beyond-the-pale redneck that coexist peacefully.
Fun fact:
Our real mayor plays the mayor's assistant. He is openly gay which I think influenced that Reggae scandal.
Sam Adams:
This show is too good.

In May 1912, President Taft, by executive order, created a 47,600-acre reservation. In September of the same year, he issued another executive order, which reduced the size of the reservation to its current size of just over 22,000 acres.
AK-Chin is well known for leading the long battle with the Department of the Interior to pass the "The AK-Chin Water Settlement Act." Ultimately passed by Congress in 1984, the Act's full implementation meant that the AK-Chin Community's goal of becoming 100 percent self-sufficient was attainable, since it could continue its successful agricultural operations on a larger scale. At full operation, AK-Chin Farms will cultivate approximately 16,000 acres. The community's goal of total self-sufficiency is about 98 percent accomplished.
Scenic Attractions
AK-Chin, located in a lush desert area, 43 miles northwest of the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, which consists of well-preserved remains of a central four-story building and several smaller outlying buildings constructed by the Hohokam Indians during the 13th century. West of AK-Chin, low picturesque mountains enclose the scenic oasis on the desert, Remnants of other civilizations which inhabited the basin during earlier times are still in evidence.
Major events held on the reservation include: St. Francis Church Feast (October); Honoring Past Chairman's Day (October); Annual Tribal Council Election (second Saturday in January); and the annual AK-Chin Him-Dak Museum celebration (April).

Where I stayed
The Baskins House
Set off 6th June from Cardiff at 07:45pm for heathrow with my lovely Dad, younger brother and his girlfriend. My Dad was driving and the weather was very nasty with the rain bouncing of the road, but he got me there in one piece even if he did have to pull over on the side of the motorway to take a whizz, he thought he was gonna be able to hold it for another 17 miles to a service station he was so very wrong. This was proven when he did a hope skip and a jump better than any Olympic athlete over to the bushes by the hard shoulder, as i'm sure he thought he was gonna wet himself
Got to heathrow 3 hours before my flight and checked in and did all the borning stuff and met up with a few friends i'd met last year. Got on flight and to my disgust i didn't have my own tv. I asked myself do they not know who I am?? lol. To add insult to injury they only showed 1 film for a 9 hour flight and this film was the pink panther = bunk! Got to philadelphia for 6:00pm U.S time. Had an hour lay over and then was on a flight to Dallas. Had a mixed night sleep at the hotel even though i'd been up 24 hours by the time I got into Dallas.
Had a meeting with the boss on sunday and then was ready to set off to meet first family. Met with host mother for 6pm on the sunday night. Luckily i coached the "Bedford Boys Ranch" camp last year so knew a few people. The son in the host family was on my camp last year and was doing the camp again this year his name is Tai Baskin and he is a little dude, so i was very happy that i would be living with Tai and his family.
The "soccer camps" can be 8:30am -11:30am and then 5:00pm-8:00pm, however I was lucky as I only had 12 kids in total so this camp was only gonna be mornings which was a nice way to ease myself into the summer especially with the dodgy ankle I picked up before I left the U.K
The kids on camp have been great and it has been a great week as far as the coaching has been concerned. The weather started off great, sun sun and more sun. But then wednesday came and that's when the sh*t hit the fan. There was thunder and lightning like I have never seen before and there was tornado warnings all night. Myself Tai and Clivia (the host Mum) were out eating whilst the worst hit town and it was hold onto your pants time.
Thursday 11th the morning was hurrendous. I reckon a weeks worth of rain fell in 2-3 hours, the roads were like rivers and of course "soccer" camp was cancelled. I was told that i was 20 yrds away from being struck in the swede by a lightning bolt, someone up there cares :) The morning was a wash out but by 3:00pm you wouldn't of even know it had happened as the sun came out and dried up everything. The only evidence of a storm were the 7 or 8 trees that had been struck by lightning.
Was lucky enough to visit the family that hosted me for a month last year, not sure if they wanted to see my ugly mug again but hey
Also If you look at my pictures you'll see I have been to a few cheerleading get togethers which has been tough but a man has to do what a man has to do. I have been out to a bar called "Into the Glass" with my host mum which was nice and I have also been to see Tai do some Karate, the Sparring if that's how you spell it, was class! Tai was kicking some butt big time. I have managed to see friends that I met last year Sara and Antony, we went out for lunch one day which was nice and once again the two buggers wouldn't let me pay, before the bill had even been put on the table they were arguing over who was paying for me. Such nice people. Quick mention to the apple pie I ate during this lunch it came on a sizzler with brandy sauce and ice cream it was amazing, hats of to "Dukes Bar" it was luuuuuurrrrrrrvvvvllllyyyyy!
I am coaching for a few hours saturday but this is to make up time that we lost due to the storms, once camo is finished I am going to down town Fort Worth to see the stock yards
All in all the first week has been good. My ankle is still sore but at least I can walk and coach, can't run yet but won't be long. I'm in Keller Texas next week, it's about 20mins from here which is nice. Got a camp with about 110 kids on it, they are sending 6 coaches to do it so should be a good laugh. Carew is in charge so watch out!
Thanks for reading my first entry of my blog. Lot's of lurrve!
Remember "He who dares wins" and "This time next year we'll be millioniares Rodney".
Adam, Carew, Tootsie, Skinball Wizard, Mumoosh!

Re: 2 blade or 3 blade propeller
I'll tel you what's dragging: this thread! For cruising in heavy currents, on a small boat: 3 blade-folding. I went from feathering 2-blade maxprop to 3-blade folding flexofold. Gained a full knot motoring and maybe lost .2kts sailing, which is unmeasureable, 'cause I probably "lose" more than that just chillin' and enjoying the ride! Get 3 blades. No brainer.

Re: 2 blade or 3 blade propeller
Generally better to start a new thread than use one 8 years old. 3 will have more drag with lower vibration probably only felt on the tiller. Drag with a 3 blade is so significant most sailors will go with a folding or feathering 3 blade, and pay the difference.

2 blade or 3 blade propeller
I looked into this same switch. A local prop shop shop said to go with the same dia w/ 2" less pitch. Think about it, 150% of the thrust area of a 2 blade, reducing the pitch takes the strain off the engine at the same rpm. The big difference that was explanied to me was with a 3 blade, two blades were always thrusting in less distrubed water from the keel, with a 2 blade there is only one.
2 blade or 3 blade propeller
OK, just got an email from Mich Wheel. Sent them all my specs and asked for a quote. They recommend a 3 blade fixed....17x11.
Interesting, Campbell also said 17x11 at first blush but then changed that to 16x9 when I sent them my trans specs later on.
Hmmmm......Jeff????? Jack??? Anyone?
I am going to write campbell back and ask them to recheck. I can see 16", not a big deal. But going from 12" pitch to 9"?
2 blade or 3 blade propeller
Thanks Jack. I will have to look up Gerr''s books. I like his writing and if Nigel recommended them....all the more. Nigel is a great guy. He really likes Hood 38''s too, so...that colors my opinion.
I am trying to ''ground truth'' the prop specs recommendation from Campbell by using some net resources (though would really like real world examples still). I have written Michigan wheel to get their recommendation...they have a similar "sailor" prop. A 3 blade with thinner blades for less drag. They said about 10 days to get back to me. Whew.
If your plans include more Med sailing this coming summer, check out La Maddelena. One of my favorite places and the one I''d like to get back to most.

Hood 38
2 blade or 3 blade propeller
John, I''d definitely recommend the 3-blade prop. Given your near-term but also long-term cruising plans, I suspect you''ll be happier with it despite its add''l drag.
Have you worked Campbell''s pitch & diameter recs against either of Dave Gerr''s books? (Prop Book and also the Nature of Boats). I think a lot of the latter and have heard the former recommended by savvy folks (Calder is one), and while neither book will produce an iron-clad conclusion for you, it might prove useful to have an ''independent, theoretical but expert'' view to compare against everything else you hear. (The Nature of Boats will also keep you out of the bars at night; it''s a very thoughtful, helpful read, if you haven''t already consumed it).
Understand completely about the ''better choice'' being the one you can afford. After struggling with the Euro and the Pound for the last two years, we understand. At least your near-term cruising will be done in the U.S. Dollar''s neighborhood.
2 blade or 3 blade propeller
Hi Jack and Jeff,
It is great to chat with both of you again. I appreciate your points, all good ones.
I too am surprised at the Campbell pitch and diam recommendation and so was wondering if anyone had made this specific change and had comparable numbers. Apparently though, Campbell says that they have a lot of experience with the engine, displacement and tranny in this range and likes these numbers best. Still, I would like to hear from anyone who has actually made this change.
I do think the campbell prop will have much less drag than a similar three blade and more than likely less drag than the existing 2 blade prop (it has broad blade surfaces). I am not that concerned with drag, it is a fact of life. I cannot afford and otherwise do not wish to have a folding or feathering prop. I want a fixed prop as it is simpler, cheaper and more reliable.
Jack, completely agree with your points about using prop walk (and do not have a bow thruster). I do use it and there are situations in which it is great. But...invariably, there are more situations in which I would like to have much less. If need be, we could use a spring line to accomplish much the same as the walk.
My cruising plans have changed a little bit due to family reasons. I have to stay closer to FLA and the east coast (so that I could hop a plane to FLA to take care of my folks if the need arises). So, I will be in FLA and the islands. Probably much of the caribbean and cruise up and down the east coast. Perhaps the Med later, that was my goal, but it will have to wait. Marina stays are likely and so backing into or out of a slip will be nicer with less walk.
The bottom line really is that my existing prop was dinged by the previous owner and is probably out of tune as well as chipped. It has been ok, but I have budgeted a change at this point. Since a Campbell or MW sailor prop is so cheap, why not go that route. And 2 vs 3....all the experts I talk with suggest 3 blades as they run smoother so less stress on the trans. These new "sailor" props should have less drag than my existing prop. I do not have any speed or performance issues with the boat so I will be satisfied. I know that a feathering prop would likely be better, but it is just not in the budget and as stated, I feel a fixed is more robust and reliable. But really, cost is the greater driver.
Appreciate your thoughts always.
Your friend
s/v Invictus
2 blade or 3 blade propeller
A couple minor points, a three blade prop of equal thrust generally will have significantly greater drag than the two blade under sail. In most regions PHRF gives six seconds a mile for a three blade fixed prop vs a two blade fixed and I have talked to owners who convert back to two blades for racing because they claim that they can''t sail to their rating with thier three blade props. Obviously it depends on the boat and the props.
I am also surprised at the big change in pitch. Since you are not changing the transmission, I would expect that the pitch should be roughly the same for both propellors since pitch is theoretically the amount that the boat would advance with one turn of the propellor assuming zero slipage. The slippage should be fairly similar between the two props in flat water and so I would expect the pitch to be much closer.

They named Longshadow Gardens after the long shadows cast by tall Oaks, Hackberries and Sassafras across our hilltop meadows. Twenty years ago, determined to create fine garden ornaments and a great Garden, they purchased a neglected farm with breathtaking views, grottoes, waterfalls and limestone bluffs adjacent to the Shawnee National Forest. After clearing weeds away, they planted Boxwood allees, Yew, Dawn Redwood, Bald Cypress, Roses, Prairie and ornamental grasses, rows of Lavender and billows of Nepeta. Garden ornaments are nestled as focal points in evocative settings. Mown grass paths and shaded walks lead through a carpet of woodland treasures including spring ephemerals, wild Orchids, Spicebush, Witch hazel, and many more. They support our passion for gardening by designing and hand crafting Longshadow dry cast limestone planters and garden ornaments in buildings that blend into our rural surroundings. Their motto is Fabricia in Horto Nostro, Latin for "Factory in a Garden." In their factory they hand craft the finest garden ornaments and planters in the world. In Longshadow Gardens, they strive to attain fleeting moments of memorable beauty.

High Visibility vests dont get any better than Bernes ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 Class 2 certified. Our Hi-Vis deluxe vest is made of rugged 100% polyester twill. This vest is ready to work right along with you for the long haul.
Additional Features:
A properly fitted garment not only keeps you looking professional, but also keeps you feeling comfortable for your entire work day. See below for advice on taking accurate measurements.
*BIB OVERALL WAIST SIZES: For comfort and utility, most folks prefer insulated bib overalls that fit loosely over clothing. Please add 4-6" to your actual waist measurement for proper fit. For example, if your waist measures 38", you would want to purchase an X-LARGE bib overall (Waist 42-44 on the size chart). If you prefer to go "commando" under your overalls, which you're more than welcome to do in the privacy of your own home, then order according to your natural waist size, plus a couple inches if you're planning on eating a big lunch. There is a built-in bib, so why not take advantage?
The following guidelines are important in getting the right fit:

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
526 Oak Street, Syracuse, New York 13203
Christian counseling is an important designation. It is this world-view (Christ-Centered) that defines our choices. It is in this that we are anchored. Considering sharing the most important part of our lives with a counselor, we need to know that we are both anchored in the same place with the same value system. (2Cor.6.14) Healthy psychology is never inconsistent with scripture. After all, psychology is just man discovering and understanding what God created and how it works. Healthy Christian counseling meets each person where they are and follows the movement of God in their lives. It is never invasive but cooperative with the Holy Spirit and oriented towards hope and healing.
Paul Darnell, D.Min., L.M.H.C.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Pastoral Counselor
315 S. Crouse Ave., Ste. 302, Syracuse, New York 13210
A life-long Christian, I nevertheless believe that every person needs to discover her or his own relationship with God and that may not be what I believe. I have worked with people of many faiths. Many people who come to me have been hurt by others who professed to be Christians, including family members, church members and even clergy. Some have been hurt by therapists calling themselves "Christian Counselors". Let me be clear about what I DO NOT DO. I do not proscribe scriptures or prayers as the answers to problems. I do not generally pray with people during therapy sessions. However, I do invite people to discuss their faith experiences if those are part of their troubles.

The toilet on the space shuttle was known as the Waste Collection System (WCS) and collected human waste through air flow and the suction it created. Liquid waste was vented to space but solid waste was moved to a cylindrical container below deck and exposed to vacuum to dry it. Air used in these processes is filtered before returning to the crew module to avoid odor problems and remove bacteria.

JDC is grateful for your generosity in the Philippines' time of need. We've answered a few frequently asked questions from donors below.
Where will my money go?
JDC's approach to disaster relief is responsive to needs on the ground but generally operates under the following principle: one-third of all donated funds are distributed to immediate emergency relief (water, food, shelter, medical help), and the remaining funds go toward long-term sustainable development once the situation has stabilized.
Also important to know is that JDC will send a disaster relief and development team to the region this week to work with the Jewish community, local and international partners and identify both emergency needs and plans for the future.
What has JDC done so far?
As part of our ongoing response to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, JDC will ship a container of critically important food, shelter, hygiene, and medical supplies and will ensure the provision of water and sanitation items and shelter support through its partners the Afya Foundation and Catholic Relief Services.
JDC's advance team of disaster relief and development experts will head to the Philippines later this week to assess damage and needs as well as consult with our local and international partners and the Filipino Jewish community to ensure maximum impact for storm survivors. One of the team members is descended from a family of German Jews who found safe haven in the Philippines during WWII after the Filipino President, JDC, and the Frieder family worked together to admit more than 1,000 Jewish refugees in the buildup to WWII.
What's the situation on the ground?
The typhoon, one of the strongest storms in recorded history, caused widespread damage, especially to the hardest-hit central city of Tacloban, and is pummeling Vietnam and China. Current reports estimate the death toll to sit at 10,000 or more victims and hundreds of thousands of Filipinos remain without power, water, and shelter. Some areas continue to be inaccessible to relief and rescue crews.
Has JDC done similar work after other disasters?
JDC has provided immediate relief and long-term assistance to victims of natural and manmade disasters around the globe, including Haiti, Japan, and South Asia after the Indian Ocean Tsunami, and continues to operate programs designed to rebuild infrastructure and community life in disaster-stricken regions.
What's the Jewish connection?
JDC's non-sectarian relief work in the wake of disasters is an important part of our mission. Our efforts in the Philippines are especially important to us, given the country's life-saving actions during the Second World War when it offered safe haven to more than 1,000 Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis. As JDC CEO Alan Gill said in a recent statement, "It is our privilege today to honor that historic debt."
Has JDC worked in the Philippines before?
JDC previously helped to fight post-typhoon cholera through an Israeli partner in 2009 and works to enhance emerging Jewish community life through the inclusion of the Filipino Jewish community members in pan-Asian Jewish events.
Who are JDC's partners in this effort?
As the situation unfolds and needs are made more clear, we will determine which of our local and international partners to support and which long term projects we will lead. JDC's disaster relief programs are funded by special appeals of individual Jewish Federations from across North America, allocations from JFNA Emergency Relief Mailboxes, major private foundations, and tens of thousands of individual donors to JDC. JDC coordinates its relief activities with the U.S. Department of State, USAID, Interaction, the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Israeli relief agencies, and the United Nations.

Classic Black Boots
"I love these black boots. I was looking for a new pair of boots that I could wear with dresses or skirts. This pair was perfect. They have just enough heel without too much heel to wear all day. And they are very stylish. I have received many compliments on them."

Great boots!
"Boots look great! True to my size. My only complaint is my feet were hurting after walking around for about an hour."

Comfy, elegant, loose fit
"I was thrilled when I first put these on - the material is slightly stretchy (forgiving of my calves, which are sometimes too large for 'normal' boots), and they're comfy. After a few hours they slip down, bagging slightly at the ankle. And standing for prolonged periods isn't very comfortable, as there's little to no cushioning in the sole. But for my desk job they're great!"

Comfy boot at a great price!
"This boot is exactly what I was looking for, the heel is not too tall and not too short and perfect for work and a night on the town. This boot is true to size but I do think it is slightly narrow which is perfect for me! This is a a great boot at a really great price."

Congressman Jim Matheson said legislation acknowledging the traditional rights of states to manage hunting and fishing within their borders is included in the emergency supplemental spending bill that passed the House this week. The Senate is expected to pass the measure next week. Matheson cosponsored the original bill-HR 731.
The bipartisan legislation was introduced after a federal appeals court decision overturned Arizona's limits on non-resident hunting permits. Matheson noted that for decades, state wildlife agencies have set the rules for issuing resident and non-resident licenses as part of their wildlife management plans.
"Sportsmen and hunters play a critical role in protecting wildlife habitat and wildlife populations," said Matheson. "They work cooperatively with state wildlife agencies so that the time-honored tradition of family hunting and fishing in the West will continue. Messing with that success doesn't make sense."
Matheson said the legislation declares that it is Congressional policy that it is in the public interest for each state to continue to regulate the taking of fish and wildlife within its boundaries. It provides that the courts should not use Congressional silence as a reason to impose any commerce-clause barrier to a state's or tribe's regulation of hunting or fishing.
