Shares of storage equipment vendor NetApp (NTAP) rose 24 cents, or 0.7%, today to close at $36.09, after the company held its analyst day event, during which time it
NetApp competes mostly with EMC (EMC), but increasingly various startups are nipping at the heels of both NetApp and EMC, including publicly-traded Nimble Storage (NMBL) and Violin Memory (VMEM), and Fusion-io, now becoming part of SanDisk (SNDK), but also various private names, as I have related in a number of posts, including a post last week about storage startups.
During the presentation, CEO Tom Georgens sounded confident that the company is already winning back business in the storage market by having the best products. At the same time, he acknowledged the company's results thus far had been affected by issues with partners who make up the "OEM" side of the business, something NetApp had pointed to back in late May when it reported fiscal Q4 results.
For this fiscal year, fiscal 2015, NetApp thinks those OEM systems will fall another 40% in revenue terms. The company is modeling "mid-single digit branded growth," meaning, systems not resold under those partners' brands.
It hopes to take a half a point to a point of share over the three fiscal years through 2017, it said, and to increase its gross profit margin to 63% to 64% during that time, from 63% in the year just ended. The company is planning to pay out 100% of free cash flow to shareholders this year, and half that each of the next two years.
A replay of the event is available via a webcast on the investor relations Web site. There's also a deck of slides prepared for the event.
Among the analysts this afternoon, there was a mixture of admiration for the strategy and a what seemed modest expectations. Some also voiced concern as to whether NetApp is still too optimistic about a very crowded market for storage.
Brian White of Cantor Fitzgerald, who has a Buy rating on NetApp shares, and a $45 price target, writes that the comapny "did an excellent job of describing the transition the company has been going through over the past couple of years with Clustered ONTAP and the foundation this has created for future innovation. At the same time, we found the company's FY:15-FY:17 financial outlook encouraging and we believe the stock represents an attractive value."
White thinks the company made strides in explaining itself to investors:
In our view, one of the key issues for NetApp's valuation has been a lack of understanding of how NetApp is positioning itself in a rapidly changing IT landscape. As such, we found today's analyst meeting encouraging as the company highlighted positive momentum in the cloud, working with 275 cloud service providers and taking the #1 slot amongst storage vendors for public cloud infrastructure. Importantly, the company's transition to Clustered ONTAP (now over 2,000 unique customers) was an issue over the past couple of years but is now behind NetApp, allowing for an acceleration in innovation going forward.
The free cash flow payout ratio should be very pleasing to investors, too, he argues.
Another bull, Brian Marshall of ISI Group reiterates a Buy rating, and a $40 price target, writing that the event "yielded little incremental information" but "did serve as a solid recap of the company's positioning in the ever changing storage industry."
Marshall sums up the NetApp portfolio:
1) on-premise (e.g., FAS/ONTAP/E-Series arrays, FlexPod,
StorageGRID, OnCommand Insights, etc.),
2) hybrid cloud (e.g., Clustered Data ONTAP, etc.), and
3) public cloud (e.g., NetApp Private Storage for AWS, etc.).
Marshall thinks the strategy could boost earnings over time, and the stock is cheap enough for a possible buyout:
Based on this new framework, we believe NTAP's multi-year earnings power could approach ~$3.75 (vs. our current CY15 pf EPS of $3.10) and could yield of stock price near ~$50 assuming a ~13x P/E. Maintain BUY rating and $40 PT as NTAP has relevancy in the ~$50bil enterprise storage industry. With ~33% of its market cap in net cash (the highest in our entire coverage universe), we believe NTAP remains an attractive M&A candidate for the likes of large IT incumbents (e.g., CSCO, ORCL, etc.) who are topline constrained today and require new, large adjacent market opportunities for future growth.
UBS's Steve Milunovich reiterates a Neutral rating on the stock, and a $36 price target, writing that the company may be underestimating the impact of competing vendors in the market:
Overall, we came out of the analyst meeting slightly more optimistic. NetApp's threeyear financial outlook included a muted revenue recovery but a higher gross margin, leading to EPS gains around 10-12% or twice expected mid-single digit branded revenue growth. Given that branded revenue growth has been 4%, mid-single digits isn't much of an acceleration and might be conservative. On the other hand, the company expects a higher gross margin of 63-64% due to the value of its software and less OEM business, which we think might underestimate competitive threats. Today there is little price elasticity as buyers sit on their hands, but that will not continue forever, at which point price competition could increase. Finally, CFO Nick Noviello was likely conservative in his assumption that share count will be flat in F16-17.
RBC Capital Markets's Amit Daryanani reiterates a Sector Perform rating on the shares, offering his notes from the conference about the various strategies and tactics discussed during the day:
- NTAP doesn't foresee ASP between Flash/HDD's changing from 10:1 today. Hybrid arrays will remain the dominant solution. Flash arrays are for certain deployments(VDI). NTAP intends to play in both AFA's and hybrid solutions.
- • Software defined storage: NTAP is positioned to offer customers ONTAP as a standalone product to run in private and public clouds.
- • George Kurian (EVP Products): Customers looking for data management NTAP offers: Clustered ONTAP and FAS arrays. For Dedicated solutions: EF Series (AFA for performance), E-series/SANtricity (hybrid storage) and StorageGrid (object). E-series has 700+ customers (115% in FY14).
- • Ty McConney (VP Flash): NTAP shipped ~18PB of flash in Q4:14 and has ~200 patents. NTAP has shipped AFA's to 1,300+ customers and sees customers are focusing on hybrid arrays using flash and SATA drives (SAS under pressure). FlashRay is built inhouse with superior performance and management offerings.
- • Jay Kidd (SVP CTO): Clustered ONTAP is driving share gains across workloads. Recent refreshes should drive further momentum with clustered OS as NTAP refreshed their product line-up and launched a new high-end solution (FAS 8080).
- • Phil Bortherton (VP Cloud): For hyperscale NTAP offers ONTAP near cloud (partnership with AWS). NTAP should benefit as they have solutions for Hybrid cloud as NTAP offers customers ability to manage data control and choice (hardware) separately.

Well, today I decided I needed to spend a little time in the woods turkey hunting. I have been spending a lot of time in the treestand bow hunting, but really have only went out turkey hunting 2 times. But today before the Packer game I made the time. I had been seeing 2 groups of birds while in stand, and to and from the stand, plus lots of trail camera pics of turkeys. One group is hens and their young and there are about 25 birds in that flock. This morning as it got light out this group was roosted all around me and I got to watch and listen to them all wake up. The other flock is 8 gobblers. I have been seeing them but not quite as regularly as the family group.
The birds have been spending a lot of time in a cut bean field which has new winter wheat coming up in it. When I pulled up no birds. I drove around the section to check the 2 hay fields they hang out in, but no birds to be seen. So I figured they were in the woods which was fine, so I was figuring out where to go in. I came back around to park, and they were all in the field, both flocks. So I snuck in around the backside of them and got to within 100 yards of them in the field. I set up and started with a couple kee kees. I immediately got a couple yelps and other chatter. I then gave a couple yelps back and they answered immediately. So I shut up and waited. Pretty soon the birds disappeared to I debated my next move. I should have learned by now, but I decided to move, cause I thought they had fed away from me. I started to slowly move and suddenly I heard some scratching in the leaves and some putts. Luckily there was some thicker brush in between us or the gig would have been up. I got down, did a few clucks and purrs and the next thing I know a young jake took a load of #4's in the head. It was fun, and even though it wasn't a big gobbler, my heart was pounding just as much.
So what was the first? It is the first jake I have ever shot. Another trophy this fall, and 1 tag left in my pocket. Maybe I will go for the cycle and shoot a tom, so I get one of each this fall. Well, we will see what walks in front of the barrel first!

MANUFACTURER: Vortex
Review This Item
Specifically designed for the military, law enforcement and committed precision shooting communities, the VORTEX Viper PST 1-4x24 Rifle Scope, TMCQ Reticle, MOA/Capped Turrets (PST-43111) offers the highest levels of performance and reliability. With features such as matched turret/reticle subtensions, CRS zero stop mechanisms and precision ranging reticle, the Viper PST is ready for any situation.
The Viper PST (Precision Shooting Tactical) is built on a precision-machined, one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube protected by a type-3 hard-anodized finish. The large diameter 30mm tube provides additional strength and rigidity, as well as extra room for extreme range elevation adjustments. The construction is 100% waterproof, dustproof and fogproof - purged with argon gas to prevent internal fogging and corrosion.
This model riflescope uses a Second Focal Plane Reticle (SFP). This style of reticle does not change size visually when magnification is changed. The advantage of an SFP reticle is that it always maintains the same appearance. Listed reticle subtensions used for estimating ranges, holdovers and wind drift corrections are only accurate at one particular magnification.
XR coatings deliver incredible image detail with extremely high resolution and light transmission. XD (Extra-low Dispersion) glass objective lens elements made of extra-low dispersion glass enhance image resolution and are carefully selected and precision crafted to exacting standards for true-to-life images of startling clarity and color accuracy.
This Viper PST riflescope does not have a parallax focus. The focus is factory pre-set at a distance of 100 yards.
ArmorTek is an ultra-hard, scratch-resistant lens armor, chemically bonded on the outer glass surfaces. ArmorTek's unique stain-proof topcoat features a slippery surface that actually repels the oil and corrosive salts from fingerprints. Dust, dirt and smudges are easily wiped away without fear of scratching the optical glass beneath.
The TMCQ (Tactical Milling Close Quarter) is a hashmarked ranging reticle using MOA-based subtension lines for ranging, holdover, and windage corrections.
Born from an intimate understanding of riflescope design, forward-thinking engineering, and open ears to a market incredibly vocal about what it wants in a riflescope, the Viper PST delivers the performance and features tactical shooters demand at an economical price.

Family: Pinaceae, Pine view all from this family
Description Small to medium-sized single or multi-stemmed, native conifer. Bark thin seldom reaching over 1 cm. Branches ascending. Needles bluish-green, 5 per bundle, 3.8 cm-18 cm. Mature female cones 4-8 cm. long, located at the top of upswept limbs. Seeds large, wingless.
Dimensions Height: 6-15 m. (20-50 ft.)
Diameter: 0.3-0.6 m. (1-2 ft.).
Habitat Mountains.
Range Northwest, Southwest, California, Western Canada, Rocky Mountains.
Discussion Trees may have a single-stemmed or a clumped, multi-stemmed habit. Site differences and Clark's nutcracker seed-caching behavior may affect frequency of clumping. Female cones located mostly at the tops of the upswept branches, readily recognizable from the air, probably an adaptation to encourage seed foraging by Clark's nutcrackers. Purple cast of mature cones may further aid Clark's nutcrackers in finding ripe seed.

First floor - galleries of various sizes
With the exception of a few works provided by the state, the starting point of the collection was basically that of the Nantes-born Cacault brothers – the diplomat François (1743-1805) and the painter Pierre (1744-1810) – purchased by the City of Nantes in 1810. François's long political career and extensive travels – to Naples, Florence, Rome, Genoa, etc. – enabled the acquisition of the many works that made up his collection.
Endlessly curious, François was drawn to the Italian Primitives – Daddi and Mariotto di Nardo, for example – even though they were little appreciated at the time. Hence the sumptuousness of the museum's Italian holdings. The Cacault Collection also shows a predilection for the Italian painters of the 13th to the 17th century, including Tura, Perugino, Solario, Tintoretto and Giordano; while another striking feature is the large number of pictures taking their inspiration from Caravaggio: paintings by Vitale, the Master of the Announcement to the Shepherds and Asseretto from Italy; Georges de la Tour's Le Vielleur and Le Songe de saint Joseph from France; and works by the Northerner Matthias Stomer.
The 17th century – the "Great Century" – is mainly represented by large French paintings, with the state providing works by Vouet, Champaigne and La Hyre. These are eloquently echoed by compositions by Rubens, Gentileschi and Vannini. The art of the Northern schools offers an interesting panorama, from late Renaissance works by Bloemaert and Goltzius to Rembrandt's pupils Flinck and Ovens and a number of splendid still lifes and landscapes.
The 18th century collection includes such greats as Watteau (Arlequin empereur dans la Lune), Lancret (La Camargo dansant), Greuze (Le Guitariste) and Pajou (Portrait de Jean-Baptiste II Lemoyne). There are, too, Chevalier Volaire's Eruption du Vésuve et vue de Portici, Panini's Prédication d'une sibylle and works by Vernet, as illustrations of the Enlightenment's taste for landscapes.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
If it were 1968, our part-Siamese male cat, Earl, would be reaching a yowling crescendo as Tom Turkey's oven refinement neared its completion.
My father, Bob, would have had enough of the feline shrieks to send poor Earl outside with few good wishes for the season.
The rest of us would be waiting as my mother, Betty, timed everything perfectly to produce a bountiful, delicious Thanksgiving Day spread, which she'd been working on for weeks.
More than 40 years later, we make our own traditions and memories as we express our thanks to those who came before and those today who make this holiday so special.
This year, I've tried to control my own anticipation by delaying even the menu decisions until 11 days ago.
My one action – to advise my sister how big a bird to acquire so the grocery store would not sell out if we waited too long. Mission accomplished at 26.44 pounds.
Next was to collect all the necessary recipes and consider if anything new will be offered.
As our family and friends group grows, I consider dietary issues. We have more near-vegetarians and at least one lactose-intolerant among us.
I'll offer roasted green-bean bundles. I'll make a brown-sugar and pecan topped sweet potato casserole, but I'll also serve up a platter of them oven-roasted with butternut squash, mushrooms, onions and asparagus.
I'll parcel Mama's dressing into medium-sized baking dishes so we'll have plenty, with gravy, throughout the delicious left-overs meals.
Ingredient changes, such as non-dairy margarine and soy-milk, won't even be noticed by the hungry hordes.
We'll also have brown rice, corn, green salad, cranberry salad, cranberry sauce and rolls.
For dessert, I've made key-lime pies in homage to my mother's enjoyment of Jimmy Buffett's music and attitudes.
Depending on my energy level at that point, we also may have Daddy's pound cake with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
And, of course, the turkey will be fabulous now that I've learned how to brine it with salt, fresh herbs, molasses and brown sugar.
Thanksgiving Eve was not to be forgotten either. Friends and family were plenty hungry as they drove into town.
In years past, I've always made lasagne, but this year, I think we'll stick with the Gulf Coast theme for shrimp, West Indies crab salad and a big veggie salad.
Good grief, no wonder I ward off palpitations by the time Turkey Day arrives.
Grandpup Bonnie and my sister's Boston bulldog Winnie may be the ones we have to send to the backyard at some point. I think Bonnie prays for table droppings.
By now, we're fully into days and days of family fun and fellowship. How thankful I am for all this holiday brings.
May your joy abound, too. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

So today I am running errands and drive over the sandbar bridge from Milton (the T is silent) Vermont over to South Hero. This is the main (only) road from the south onto the islands. Traveled every day by hundreds or thousands of drivers. Is passes the sand bar wild life management area. Map below. I parked at the labeled boat launch you can see marked next to the blue binocular symbol and the sand bar state park. These is a line of buoys in the water that marks the separation refuge area and open hunting area. This line is clearly visible with binoculars from the viewing area. I had to stop and take a photo.
So this is the WMA state map
This is the photo I took
How many duck blinds can you count?
and in this one I circled the duck blinds. I got 11 all stacked on top of one another and all visible from the main road.
Come On Man!!!

By Saroj Kumar Pattnaik, ChildFund India
For Manju Sharma, 37, life once was structured around taking care of her two children and doing daily household chores. Until a few years ago, she had little idea of the world outside her home in the Firozabad district in northern India. But since she began working at an Early Childhood Development (ECD) center supported by ChildFund India, her definition of life has changed. Now she is a self-assured and respected woman in her community.
Initially, Manju was nervous about accepting a job outside the home. Staying away from her children and husband for more than six hours a day was a challenge, but she accepted an offer to work with the ECD program in 2007 because of her passion for helping children living in poverty.
"It was not a very smooth start for me, but my affection for small kids helped to overcome my fears gradually," Manju recalls. "Soon I was able to strike a chord among the children, and they started loving my presence."
Manju received basic training on maintaining good hygiene among the center's 35 children ages 2 to 5.
"I also took training on how to monitor growth of the children attending the ECD center," she explains. "Now, I am fully aware about the issue of malnutrition and often lead educational sessions for mothers, giving them tips about how they can take proper care of their children's health."
She adds, "People now know me as Manju Didi [sister], and I love the respect they shower on me."
For 26-year-old Avdhesh Jadaun, a teacher at an ECD center in the nearby Andand Nagar locality, teaching was a passion she had held since childhood.
Avdhesh, who has a master's degree in psychology, has a desire to see all children in her locality receive an education and grow up to be self-sufficient young adults — a goal that ChildFund also wishes to achieve.
"Since my school days, I wanted to work for poor children, especially helping them complete their basic education. Now, ChildFund gave me the opportunity to fulfill my dream, and I am very happy," Avdhesh says.
ChildFund India's local program manager Bikrant Mishra says, "Avdhesh and Manju are two of our most committed staffers who not only take care of the ECD centers but also actively participate in our maternal and child health-related activities."
ChildFund currently runs nine ECD centers in Firozabad. More than 600 children up to age 5 are cared for in these centers. Mothers and pregnant women are also given important training on pre- and postnatal health care that includes immunization, breastfeeding, nutritional food intake and regular check-ups.
"And these teachers often act as health workers in their own capacities and help us deliver better service among the communities," Mishra adds.
Although Manju and Avdhesh are paid modest salaries for their hard work, they are satisfied when they see the children play, sing and dance happily around them.
"The children are so sincere; often their gratitude is enough," Avdhesh explains.
Manju says, "The satisfaction I draw from working with these innocent children is incomparable. It's priceless."
Well done!
Thanks for the feedback. We appreciate your time to read and comment.

Dear project Manager
Much regards from Kenya.Is it possible to be a volunteer overseas and especially in Africa? Kind Regards
Hello and thanks for your question.The majority of our volunteer opportunities are for people who live in the communities ChildFund serves. However, our country offices in Africa do occasionally have need for interns and/or volunteers. Are your seeking that opportunity in Kenya or, perhaps, another country? Please send an email to email@example.com, with your contact email and the country in which you'd like to volunteer and for what time period (e.g., this coming summer or now). We can check to see if there any opportunities for you to pursue.

Track Hind prints are about 2 1/2" (62 mm) long, with 5 toes; foreprints rounder and smaller, about 1" (25 mm) long. Trail of hopping animal has hindprints in front of foreprints.
Sign Large leaf nests in trees, fairly well hidden in summer but obvious in winter. Other signs are similar to those of Eastern Gray Squirrel, except that food debris is often much more evident, because fox squirrels commonly carry nuts to a favorite feeding perch such as a low branch, log, or stump, under which the ground may be heavily strewn with shells. Nuts show large ragged edged hole or are crushed. When squirrels raid cornfields, it may be possible to tell which species is the culprit: The Eastern Fox Squirrel usually cuts and hauls an entire cob to a feeding perch, which is strewn with husks and bits of cob, while the Eastern Gray Squirrel bites the kernels from the cob, then eats only the germ, dropping the remainder.

In a reprieve from the horror of the most recent terrorist attack, the nation's attentions turned to the man who declared the war on terrorism, George W. Bush.
During Thursday's dedication of his library at Southern Methodist University, nary a word was spoken about the most controversial aspect of his tenure, the Iraq invasion. All living presidents were in attendance and made only generic references to mistakes and regrets familiar to all. Of course Bush famously acknowledges no mistakes or regrets, but rather bequeaths judgment to history and self-doubt to those of lesser conviction.
This observation, though true, is not the whole story of Bush, however. Nearly everyone who has known Bush up closer than a video clip has a different impression of him than what is more popularly accepted. The arrogant, swaggering caricature of the 43rd president was mostly a shield.
Obviously, what a president says and does is fair game for criticism. The way Bush chose to express himself was the way he would be perceived and judged. To act arrogantly is to be arrogant in the public eye. To speak awkwardly is to be awkward.
But in private, Bush was a very different man. In small groups, he was articulate and confident.
Everyone is familiar with Bush's history and performance. What I offer is an anecdote or two that I think reveal what the cameras and critics could not.
July 2007: I have just written a eulogy for a friend who has died in a car crash when I am summoned along with about a dozen other journalists to meet with the president. His director of media affairs, Jeanie Mamo, meets me at the security gate, sees my bloodshot eyes and, having read my column, says how sorry she is. I start babbling something about how I wouldn't have come except, and she interrupts: "Except that he's the president of the United States."
Yes, that's it.
Once in the Roosevelt Room, Bush circles the room, shaking hands with each person, coming to me last. He gives a hug and says, "You're not alone. I'm right there with you."
Somehow I managed not to burst into tears. After the meeting he returned to give me another hug, whereupon I asked a favor. Would he write a note to my friend's son? Absolutely. In the Oval Office, he asks the boy's name. Jackson. He writes: "Dear Jackson, I know your heart is broken. I will pray for you. Sincerely, George W. Bush."
More or less. Unfortunately, I failed to copy the letter before delivering it to the son at my friend's funeral.
I tell this story because it should be part of the public record of this president, not least because such gestures were not rare. Bush often met privately and without fanfare with the families of fallen soldiers. He often visited the wounded without anyone's knowing. He really did feel others' pain.
During a one-on-one interview on Air Force One, I asked him about his hardest days as president. He rejected the question as irrelevant. The hardest day of his life was seeing his father lose re-election, not because the Bush family needed more time in the Rose Garden but because seeing his father, "this great man," suffer was so painful for the son.
Every president (thus far) is also just a man, which is to say, human. His frailties and flaws are in plain sight, every gesture a potential weapon of self-destruction. For reasons that are perhaps a characteristic of our untamed nature, we seem intent on elevating presidents only to bring them down.
Thus it was with Bush, who, our favorite cartoons notwithstanding, was more than a composite of swagger and smirk. He was also a kind man with a gentle heart who should be remembered as such.

|To all of our generous
sponsors and supporters
who believe in CURE,
we sincerely thank you
and credit you with having raised a truly remarkable
$2 million!
Annual Benefit Featuring James Taylor Breaks Fundraising Record for Epilepsy CURE
May 23, 2014, Chicago, IL – Though the room was filled with dignitaries and VIP's, all eyes were fixed on Lauren Axelrod, the young woman with epilepsy, who bravely and enthusiastically introduced the evening's headliner, James Taylor, who helped shatter fundraising goals for epilepsy research.
Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE), founded by Lauren's mother, Susan Axelrod, held its 16th Annual Chicago Benefit on May 19, at Navy Pier. Event chair Debra A. Cafaro, Chairman and CEO of Ventas, Inc., welcomed the overflow crowd and expressed gratitude to the guests. "Thank you for your generous contributions and your commitment to CURE epilepsy. We welcome our first time supporters and longtime friends and we look forward to seeing you at CURE's benefit for many years to come. "
"We have more than doubled our fundraising in the past two years," Susan Axelrod said. "We promise we will invest this money in the amazing science we are known for."
Before Taylor, accompanied by his wife Caroline, serenaded the crowd with some of his most famous tunes, came speeches from Susan and David Axelrod, Chicago Bears General Manager Phil Emery and Debra Cafaro. All have a daughter with epilepsy and their stories truly moved the crowd.
David Axelrod spoke of the perfect and beautiful baby girl who was born to the couple almost 33-years-ago. At 7-months-old, however, Lauren had her first grand mal seizure and their lives changed forever.
"I remembered the nights when Lauren would have clusters of seizures and would come around just long enough to shriek, 'Mom, make them stop,'" David Axelrod said. "So heartbroken and outraged by the lack of answers, (Susan) and two other mothers launched CURE at our dining room table."
Unwilling to sit back and accept the debilitating effects of epilepsy, these parents joined forces to spearhead the search for a cure. CURE's mission is not only driven by the pressing need for scientific research and data, but by the painful struggle of families who suffer from epilepsy worldwide.
"What we do for ourselves dies with us," the quote goes, according to Emery. "What we do for others' lives on forever."
The moving speeches propelled the evening's guests to shatter the organization's fundraising goal and raise more than $2.1 million.
Among the other dignitaries at last night's event were Former White House Chief of Staff William Daley; Mayor Rahm Emanuel; Sen. Dick Durbin; actor Billy Zane; and Bears Head Coach Marc Trestman. In addition, guests were treated to music from the Misericordia Heartzingers Choir and the Walter Payton College Prep Jazz Band.

I'm not concerned with Rubio's speaking abilities. Obama has proven how well using a telepromter works. You can say anything, just look good doing it, and the mass of people will believe you.
the guy took a drink of water. BFD!
I'm not convinced that either the Dems or Repubs or the vast majority of the media and voters care about substance. If they did, we wouldn't have the government we have nor the media we have. Today, politics and media is ALL showbiz, very little substance.
Just look at where the media consumption is. The Bachelor has almost 500 times as many viewers than National Geographic TV. Broadcast News on CBS, ABC and NBC are down. Cable News which is niche compared to broadacst is losing audience. Fox and CNN are way down in the ratings. MSNBC doesn't have an audience to lose, that is how poorly they are doing. We've become a nation of garbage consumers when it comes to TV and News.
TV Programmers refuse to give a real fair and balanced report because they say that their research shows that they need to identify a segemnt and cater to that segment. CNN is going through a major realignment. They are bring in new host and supposedly will move towards the center, whatever that is. It will be interesting to see if they keep Blitzer and the gal that does the monrings, who is very left.
Wow! A Man takes a drink of water and that makes Him a sure loser for President! You cant make this stuff up! But a well polished slick community organizer? Now theres a great President. Only in America.A once Great Nation, but will prevail despite the destruction being perpatrated by our great President!!
Second, ask any Mexican or Central American what they think of Cubans. If they give you an honest answer, it won't be good. The Cubans have a superiority complex over Mexicans and S Ams and it has caused a lot of animosity among them.
Third, Rubio is NOT ready and he has admitted so. The GOP right now is desperate to change their image and find new faces. They know that when the only demographic they win in is white men over 55 years of age and the Christian Right, that they are in trouble.
Rubio is a likable guy but he looked like a ranked amateur on TV the other night! Instead of scoring some points with people that are undecided, he squandered the opportunity. Obama's SOTU was lackluster and Rubio was even more lackluster. Better than Jindal but that is hardley any consolation.
It is about bring one's A game when the challenge arises. Especially, when the other party creates an opening for someone to shine on that night! Wiping sweat from one's temples a couple of times, a nervous voice and the water incident is not exactly a great delivery!
I think the reason that all news programs are lacking in audience is because so many people now get the news from websites. That can lead to snips and soundbites. What I do like about websites is that you can also follow other links to get more background on a topic.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – A $40,000 chancery court award over Itawamba County property was upheld Tuesday by the Mississippi Court of Appeals.
In a 9-0 vote, the court said Varnell Lewis' half interest to the property was valid despite Howard Hall's will change to leave it to his children.
After a 2011 trial, Chancellor Jacqueline Mask ruled that Hall's contract with Lewis for property interests entitled her to half its value, when he decided to terminate their 1999 agreement six years after it was made.
Lewis sued Hall in 2007 after he stopped her from moving a mobile home onto the property.
Writing for the court, Judge David Ishee said Mask's decision was correct and cited the final sentence of their agreement, which stated "a suit for damages for the value of the property" could ensue if the agreement were violated.
Hall claimed he didn't sign the contract, but Ishee noted it and their wills – bequeathing the property to each other upon the other party's death – were prepared by an attorney, and witnessed and notarized by a paralegal.
Court of Appeals decisions still may be appealed to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
Also Tuesday, the court ruled on two other regional cases:
• Affirmed the Lowndes Circuit Court decision for Dr. Gregory Nunez, who was sued on behalf of Curtis Boyd for medical malpractice.
After Judge James T. Kitchens Jr. excluded a Boyd expert, Nunez contended Boyd could not prove his malpractice claims. The judge agreed, granted Boyd's motion for final judgment, then denied Boyd's request for reconsideration.
Boyd appealed to the Court of Appeals, which discounted all his issues for the appeal with a 4-3 vote. The minority said it would reverse and send the lawsuit back for more proceedings.
• Reversed and decided part, and reversed and returned part to Oktibbeha County Chancery Court for the domestic relations lawsuit of Steve E. Hollis versus Myra Hollis Baker.
The issue addressed was whether a provision in a property settlement is alimony subject to end if one party remarries. The couple divorced in 2003 and Baker was granted child support and alimony. In 2010, Hollis asked to end payments when Baker remarried and their child reached age 24. Chancellor Kenneth Burns denied the end of alimony without a provision in their divorce agreement, then he denied reconsideration.
Later, Hollis was found to be in arrears for various provisions of their agreement and found in contempt of court. He filed bankruptcy in 2006. Issues of back payments and fees continued. The court denied their motions to reconsider their financial arrangements.
In 2011, Hollis appealed and Baker cross-appealed.
Judge Larry Roberts, writing for the 4-3 majority, said when the chancery court modified Baker's alimony, it became subject to modification. The court agreed Hollis could stop paying her because their agreement does not state it continues beyond remarriage. His contempt status for missed payments was voided.
The court also sent back to Burns the issue of how much Hollis owes Baker for back child support or other obligations.

Sage has tagged me for the Stuart Smiley meme, and I always do what hot, smart women tell me to.
10 Things I Like About Me:
1. I am quick to smile. And my mouth is large and so are my teeth, so when I smile, you know it.
2. I can make Chris and Bee laugh, and Chris and Bee like my laugh, and I like laughing.
3. I think I have a good instinct and attitude for parenting. Really, I do. I like the way I parent almost all of the time (a little bit of pregnancy impatience notwithstanding). And I think Bee is a really good reflection of my really good parenting.
4. I add sound effects to all of my gaffes. If I trip, drop something, remember something I was supposed to do yesterday or bump into the wall, you will know it. And it won't just be a delicate 'oopsie!' – it will be a warbled, jumbled 'woooahahhhrl!' It's very difficult to take yourself too seriously when you make sounds like that.
5. I chalk up my environmentalist/earth mama tendencies to an early pioneer fetish.
6. I like the tone of my writing. Even if I'm not the wittiest or most prolific author out there, I dig what I do.
7. When somebody tells me that my behaviour or something I've done upsets or hurts them, I really work at trying to change. Unfortunately, this is new for me. But I'm working on it.
8. I may have to turn away when Bee is playing at the park with Chris (yes, I'm a helicopter), and I have some personal safety issues, but none of those tendencies have stopped me from having lots of amazing experiences: I went on Dead tour at 16; I've lived in a warzone while doing international volunteer work; I've had one-night stands; I've gone white-water rafting; I've read poetry onstage in NYC and I've shaved my head. I like living.
9. I rarely engage in pity parties for myself, and I'm not a hypochondriac. I hate drama.
10. I am accepting of my physical being. I have a big nose, I'm short and really, I'm kind of funny looking. But that somehow has translated to 'cute,' and I can dig it. For the sake of my daughter(s), I will love my physical self.
What hidden talents and happy thoughts do you possess? Let the world know!
Edited to add:
I had a non-alcoholic bevvie for you last night, Jerry. May the four winds blow you safely home.
I Like Me!

I've been tagged for this meme and have been putting it off. It's hard to say nice things about yourself!
I like that I'm appreciative.

I cannot overstate the sound fx, which usually manifests as a shrieking WHOAH! which gives you the impression that the sum total of events from 9/11 combined with New Orleans just manifested a foot away from you, when really she's just spilled her coffee.ReplyDelete
DO NOT DRIVE WITH HER IF YOU HAVE A HEART CONDITION. Pedestrians freak her out.
Nothing wrong with a distinctive nose. I feel a type of pity for women with less grand nasal protrusions, really. Their faces lack the interest of ours. My nose isn't big, but it is POINTY. Less enlightened souls have compared it to a witch nose, but in reality, it is regal.ReplyDelete
Because you're Good Enough, You're Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like You! And can I say - how is it possible to love you more but I do! For all of them (but especially #8) and damn girl, I think you are hot, hot, hot (but I'm a girl and I'm straight and OMG why am I justifying this...)ReplyDelete
Finally, someone who completed this meme as easily as I did! (At least, that's the impression I'm getting - based, I think, on the total absence of hand-wringing and surreptitious self-deprecation.)ReplyDelete

I indulge in lots of unproductive behaviour, but hand-wringing is not one of them.
Good for you--we should all celebrate the good stuff!ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting my outhouse santa and saying hello while you were at it. Always nice to meet a fellow LHOTP addict (I'd read the whole box set, then start up again from the beginning. Repeatedly.)
Yeehaw. I'm using my $10/minute connection time to come read this meme and it's AWESOME. You're my kind of gal...ReplyDelete
I had a good laugh about your sound effects. I do the same thing, but not just for gaffes.ReplyDelete
An excellent list. I think it takes time to learn how to embrace the goodness in yourself (and to share it with others).ReplyDelete
Definitely good for you with #3. I'm still in self-doubt mode (but that's a whole other post...)
ok chris just cracked me up.ReplyDelete
i like that i like you.
It totally translates into cute. Totally.ReplyDelete
And I hate drama too. Why whinge? It's not going to get you anywhere.
10 great reasons why you're a great person!ReplyDelete
Good on you for number 10! I have a big nose too but I think it works. I feel sorry for people unsubstantial noses... a big nose can add such character.ReplyDelete
I am not so good at the pity party stuff... in fact, if I get a chance to blog today, I will probably have a pity party... but sometimes life is overwhelmingly hard.
Oh, I love posts that celebrate the good things and the things we like about ourselves. Good one!ReplyDelete
I love all of these things.ReplyDelete
I really, really like you.

Elizabeth Datillo: 2013 Co-Outstanding Graduate in Marine Biology
"Elizabeth Datillo is an outstanding student in Marine Biology because of her strong GPA (she is graduating cum laude) and her great attention to detail. Elizabeth is also an excellent UAS community member and takes part in Cleaning up Beaches Events and has helped in low tide explorations. Elizabeth has an excellent work ethic and also finds time to help other students with their field projects in her spare time. She has lived in remote and rural areas of Alaska (Barrow) and she has matured quite a bit since her first class in Fundamentals of Biology. We look forward to hearing about her next goals in academics." — Sherry Tamone, Professor of Biology
I have lived in rural areas of Alaska since I started high school and love it. I applied to several large private universities and had the option of attending a university in Hawaii. I felt they weren't the right choice for me. When I found out about UAS I knew, without a doubt, that I would be coming here for the Marine Biology program, which has always been of great interest to me.
I have been able to get a real sense of community at UAS through my wonderful classmates and professors. The smaller class size has afforded me a more personal and meaningful learning experience. Under the guidance of my professors, I have conducted my own research projects. I love being so near the ocean that I can explore it often. I have learned so much in and out of the classroom. I am and always will be grateful for my experiences here.
I hope to work with marine animals and improve their well being. I have been exploring the idea of working in a marine rescue center as a veterinarian and have spent my last semester at UAS working at a veterinary hospital in Juneau. At this point I am considering veterinary medicine, but intend to gain more varied and broad work experience.
Elizabeth is a UA Scholar.
UAS' 2013 Juneau Commencement will be held May 5 at 2:00 p.m. at the UAS Recreation Center.
Crystal Rogers is receiving her Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree in Independent Design, focusing on the art, language, government and history of indigenous and Western societies in Alaska, with a minor in Tlingit.
Learn more about Crystal Rogers, this year's student speaker at the UAS Commencement in Juneau on May 6th.

Hate to name-call, but anyone who would wear a gun, let alone an assault weapon anywhere near a presidential function is a TOTAL MORON! Has nothing to do with Obama or Bush or ANY president, just a total lack of respect and common sense. And besides, they have to know they probably have at least one set of crosshairs on their earhole at all times....I'd hate to have to scratch my a$$ and have a secret service agent mistake that for a draw!
My biggest concern about that, is that its giving a bad image to gun-owning Americans, and is only serving to stir up anti-gun rhetoric in the media, and lord knows we don't need any more of that!

Despite the great physical risk, Dana's commitment to his work keeps powerful images of Hebron's clashes in the public eye. Hebron is a cauldron of religious and political tension. In a city of 150,000 Palestinians, some 400 Jewish settlers live in the center of town, protected by hundreds of Israeli soldiers.
In May 2000, Dana was shot in the leg with a rubber-coated bullet while filming Palestinian youths throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers. Two months later, Jewish settlers beat him unconscious while he tried to film a conflict. The next day, an Israeli police officer slammed Dana's head in the rear door of an ambulance while he was filming the evacuation of a Palestinian youth wounded in clashes. Dana was shot again last October, in the same leg, two days in a row.
The situation of journalists in Hebron, really it's going from bad to worse. I'm expected it before one year and one year and a half, when I told them the situation is going very, very, very bad. And to the worst, to the hell. Eh, now, before this we were able to move, to go, even to go to Bethlehem, to other places, to other cities. But now we are stopped. Even here now we are not allowed to go to film area which is under Israeli, in area C in Hebron which is under Israeli control. And Hebron city, which is divided to two parts, I'm able just to go two kilometers square and area which is under Palestinian control. But now under Israeli control, we are not, we are not allowed. Even my home, it's in area C, in Kalif you are not allowed to go out of my home, even if I am journalist. They kick us now, they threaten our life and our life is going in very, very critical and dangerous situation.
Ladies and Gentlemen, colleagues,
I am happy to be here and proud to receive this prestigious award from the Committee to Protect Journalists. It is the result of 14 years of continuous sweat and toil.
It gives me strength to know that our colleagues around the world are supporting us in the quest for truth against those who seek to stifle it.
Working in the divided city of Hebron, attacks on press freedom take place daily at the hands of the Israeli army and the settlers, who live in the center of town.
To be a journalist and cameraman in a city of lost hope like Hebron requires great sacrifices.
Gunfire, humiliation, beatings, prison, rocks, and the destruction of journalists' equipment are just some of the hardships. And there is also the inability to move freely.
The sad thing is that I can travel anywhere in the world, but I am unable to travel to the Reuters bureau in Jerusalem which is just 25 kilometers away from Hebron.
Being here, I leave behind my colleagues of whom I am very proud and who are no less courageous and deserving of this award, especially my close Reuters colleague Nael Shyioukhi who has worked by my side for 8 years.
Words and images are a public trust and for this reason I will continue with my work regardless of the hardships and even if it costs me my life.
Yesterday, a tragedy befell four of our colleagues in Afghanistan. This tragedy illustrates just how costly uncovering the truth can be. The bitterness of this event is only alleviated by the knowledge that journalists around the world continue to strive for the truth. And your
support for us on the front lines gives us hope.
In closing, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Reuters for its unwavering support through difficult times and for making me a better cameraman. I would especially like to thank Rodney Pinder, Steve Windy, Paul Holmes Victor Antony, and Tom Kirkwood, among others.
Thank you.

Tables serve a variety of purposes throughout your home. Large tables provide gathering places for meals, games and conversations, and they make a striking statement in your space. Slim tables add visual interest to open walls and a display area for home accents. Small tables are the perfect finishing touch; they also offer unobtrusive storage for smaller items.
When you need to find the perfect piece, Home Decorators Collection is the place to look. Our tables come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, design styles and finishes.
For a traditional look, choose tables with details like turned legs, molding and filigree accents. For something more modern, go for clean lines and little ornamentation. Angles and planks offer an arts and crafts look. Contemporary style thrives on curves and abstract shapes. Right angles characterize industrial designs.
Traditional stained finishes celebrate the beauty of the wood. Turn a classic look cottage with a washed or painted finish. A white or black finish offers an updated feel. Urban-industrial styles often feature distressed or reclaimed wood paired with metal. Natural wood finishes complement any number of designs.
Try repurposing tables for a fun, unique look. The possibilities are endless! A nightstand might serve just as well as a living room end table, while an accent table might be the perfect piece for your bedroom. Console tables look great behind your sofa or on a focal wall, but you could also try them as streamlined sideboards. A bedroom vanity might work as a small writing desk. Meanwhile, a striking dining table could provide just the workspace you need to spark ideas in the craft room. Get creative! And be sure to take measurements to make sure your table will suit its reimagined use.

Smart Concrete
Credit: Phillip Capper

License: CC BY-NC 3.0
Concrete is strong, but it isn't unbreakable. Aging, weathering, and too much stress can cause concrete to crack and break. Then disasters like collapsed bridges can occur.
Why It Matters
- The human eye can detect weaknesses in concrete only after a crack has already occurred. By then, costly repairs may be needed. Concrete inspectors also can't keep up with the number of bridges and other concrete structures they need to inspect.
- What if there was a way to monitor the strength of concrete before it actually cracked. Better yet, what if the concrete could monitor itself? It sounds impossible, but a scientist named Dr. Deborah Chung has used her expert knowledge of materials to create concrete that can do just that.
- Watch this video to learn more: http://www.nbclearn.com/science-of-innovation/cuecard/62976
Can You Apply It?
At the links below, learn more about smart concrete and its developer Dr. Deborah Chung. Then answer the following questions.
- http://www.laboratorynetwork.com/doc/Electrical-Resistance-Of-Smart-Concrete-Chang-0001
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deborah_Chung
- What is concrete? Besides bridges, what else is concrete used for?
- What material did Dr. Chung add to concrete? What property does this material have?
- How does the material affect concrete?

A urine pH test measures the level of acid in urine.
pH - urine
After you provide a urine sample, it is tested right away. The health care provider uses a dipstick made with a color-sensitive pad. The color the dipstick changes to tells the provider the level of acid in your urine.
If needed, the health care provider may ask you to collect your urine at home over 24 hours. Your provider will tell you how to do this. Follow instructions exactly so that the results are accurate.
Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking certain medicines that can affect the results of the test. These may include:
Do not stop taking any medicine before talking to your provider.
Eat a normal, balanced diet for several days before the test. Note that:
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
Your doctor may order this test to check for changes in your body's acid levels.It may be done to see if you:
Are at risk of kidney stones. Different types of stones can form depending on how acidic your urine is.
Need to take certain medicines to treat urinary tract infections. Some medicines are more effective when urine is acidic or non-acidic (alkaline).
The normal values range from pH 4.6 to pH 8.0.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test result.
A high urine pH may be due to:
A low urine pH may be due to:
There are no risks with this test.

GPScape is contained within the standard meter assembly and features storage for up to 100 waypoints and a digital compass function indicating travel direction. When traveling or returning to a designated waypoint. GPScape will tell the rider distance and direction from present location.
Folding rear step for easy reboarding.
New chrome 3-D turbo emblem.
Unique graphics package features exclusive colors and stylized Honda Wing on the hull.
Black Hull with Gold Upper Deck.
Black Hull with Candy Red Upper Deck.
Lightweight, liquid-cooled, DOHC 16-valve 1235cc dry-sump four-cylinder engine features a one-piece upper-crankcase/cylinder block engineered to withstand the rigors of marine duty. The inherently efficient, low-emissions four-stroke design consumes less fuel than a comparable two-stroke engine and meets all current CARB and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions standards.
Class-leading performance is provided by a water-cooled IHI(r) turbocharger with water-cooled intercooler. The AquaTrax(tm) turbocharger produces a maximum boost of 13 psi to generate 32 percent more power than a normally aspirated engine. The turbine bearing is an enclosed, ceramic-ball design that withstands sustained high-rpm compressor operation while providing nearly vibration- and friction-free performance. Water cooling of the turbocharger housing maintains optimum turbine operating efficiency, while the water-cooled intercooler assures a denser intake charge to provide maximum power and combustion efficiency. An electronic control unit (ECU) monitors atmospheric pressure, boost pressure, engine speed, oil and water temperature, intake air temperature and an engine knock sensor to manage an electronic waste gate valve that controls turbocharger boost, protecting vital engine components and maintaining long engine life.
Side-mounted cam chain and ultra-narrow cylinder-sleeve spacing reduce engine size and weight.
Crankshaft main bearings feature a micro-grooved bearing surface to improve oil retention and bearing durability as lateral loading occurs throughout a broad range of operating conditions.
DOHC-actuated valves use a simple, lightweight and direct cam-over-bucket design.
Four-valve cylinder head design with a narrow, 30-degree included valve angle creates a compact combustion chamber for optimum efficiency and power output at all rpm levels.
Silent-type cam chain reduces engine noise, while an automatic chain tensioner virtually eliminates maintenance.
Idle screw adjustment conveniently located on front side of engine for ease of adjustment.
Unique gear-driven dual engine-balancer system virtually eliminates high-frequency engine vibration.
Oil jets located on the crankcase main journal castings continually cool piston undersides, ensuring consistent operating temperatures and even better engine life under maximum power.
Forged pistons and connecting rods are designed to withstand the rigors of turbocharging. The top piston ring land is anodized, and a chrome-plated top ring further enhances durability.
Honda Ignition Control System (ICS) protects the engine from abnormal operating conditions.
Air intake system features an intake port mounted centrally in the hull and a labyrinth airbox construction with paper air filter. Together they keep water out of the engine during normal operation and if the craft is accidentally overturned.
High-pressure programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) delivers fuel at 43 psi to four injectors, each mounted in a 38mm throttle body. Fuel is delivered through four laser-drilled nozzle holes in each injector, producing a highly combustible air/fuel charge for maximum combustion efficiency and power.
The ECU provides two digital 3-D fuel injection maps for each cylinder, creating the ideal fuel mixture and spark advance settings. A sophisticated throttle sensor and advanced fuel injection mapping combine to produce smooth and linear throttle response, responding precisely to minor throttle and waste gate adjustments to maximize driveability, acceleration and drive pump performance.
A unique fast-idling system uses an electric stepping motor to maintain a stable idle speed when the engine is cold. An automatic fuel-enriching system is integrated into the PGM-FI module, eliminating the need for a manual choke.
Four waterproof transistorized direct-ignition coils integrate the spark plug cap and the high-tension lead to produce a high-voltage, long-duration spark, providing maximum performance at high engine-output levels.
Iridium-tip spark plugs produce maximum spark performance and minimal carbon build-up for consistent engine operation and long spark plug life.
Powerful, compact oil-cooled alternator contributes to the engine's lightweight design.
Oil pump is driven by the alternator, further contributing to the engine's lightweight design.
Stainless steel oil cooler.
Engine cooling system allows water from the jet pump to circulate through two separate circuits to cool the engine and exhaust manifold, ensuring consistent operating temperatures for each system.
Unique three-way coolant coupler and specially designed discharge outlet reduce engine coolant flow during idling and low-speed operation to prevent over-cooling, assuring smooth operation and low emissions. A one-way valve permits simplified coolant system flushing.
Dry-sump engine incorporates an oil reservoir mounted adjacent to the cylinder bank. The tank shape and location, together with a specially designed internal multi-baffle system, optimize engine lubrication under a wide variety of marine operating conditions.
A uniquely designed crankcase breather system featuring three breather chambers prevents oil from flowing out of the engine or clogging the breather system if the hull is accidentally overturned.
Engine-cooling water circulates through the turbocharger housing to enhance compressor life.
Water-cooled cast aluminum exhaust manifold contributes to total heat management and reduces exhaust noise.
Output end is directly coupled to the jet pump drive via a rubber damper, providing shock-free, efficient power transfer while minimizing lateral crankshaft load forces.
Engine power and pump characteristics are carefully matched for maximum performance without the use of power-robbing gear-reduction systems.
Axial-flow single-stage Solas 155mm jet pump with three-blade impeller is matched to the four-stroke power characteristics. A proprietary Honda impeller design and ECU control of the turbocharger waste gate minimize pump cavitation, resulting in quiet pump operation and extended impeller life.
Pump servicing features include easy-to-disassemble pump, driveshaft, and driven coupling, and an easily accessible driveshaft bearing grease fitting.
Unique AquaTrax hull design provides excellent overall stability and exceptional low- and high-speed turning performance without sacrificing the ability to perform low-speed maneuvers.
Dry-sump design allows the engine to be mounted low in the hull, resulting in a very low center of gravity that contributes to the AquaTrax's exceptional handling performance.
Raised hull design aids in docking and provides excellent splash protection.
Sponson design further contributes to the AquaTrax's low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability.
Strong, lightweight fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) hull and deck are joined and permanently sealed at the gunwale, providing the AquaTrax with a distinctive and attractive profile.
The liner-type FRP inner hull increases hull rigidity more than 200 percent compared to a single-hull design.
AquaTrax hull is designed to be a stable platform for mounting from deep water and to be easily uprighted in case of accidental overturns.
Footwell areas have an anti-slip surface to provide sure-footed comfort when mounting, operating and dismounting the AquaTrax.
Forward-located large-capacity, 16.6-gallon polyethylene fuel tank is attached to the hull with rubber-cushioned hold-down straps. A two-way valve is provided to control internal tank pressure and prevent water incursion or fuel leakage if the hull is accidentally overturned.
Abundant storage is available in two sealed compartments, with a large, 23.1-gallon front storage box located under the front hood and a smaller, 2.5-gallon compartment located in front of the rider.
Additional Features
Honda Ignition Control System (ICS) senses low oil-pressure and/or abnormally high coolant temperatures and acts to limit or shut off engine operation as necessary. If oil pressure drops below the optimum level, the ICS limits engine speed to 3000 rpm. Extremely low oil-pressure stops the engine. If high coolant temperature is detected, a warning light and audible alarm are activated. ICS also shuts off the engine after the hull is accidentally overturned.
AquaTrax's selectable Limit Mode provides a lower top-speed setting, ideal for beginning riders, borrowers and rental users. The system displays "Limit Mode" on the multi-function display when activated, and can be reset with push-button controls.
Electronic keyless ignition system (ID mode) allows operator to select from 999 possible identification numbers to effectively deter unauthorized use.
Waterproof instruments feature LED digital displays for GPScape, speed (mph), trip distance (miles), travel time (hours and minutes) clock and engine hourmeter; LCD analog bar graph display for engine speed and fuel level; flashing indicator light and audible alarm for fuel level, battery charge, coolant temperature, oil pressure and fuel injection.
Self-diagnosing ECU cycles at start-up and operates continuously during operation to provide immediate troubleshooting and warning functions.
Operational lanyard tethers the ignition button to the operator's wrist or personal flotation device (PFD) and stops the engine if tether comes unplugged.
The fully sealed fuel system is leak-free and vapor-free, eliminating the possibility of water contamination.
Anti-corrosion treatments for die cast aluminum components include Alodine/Alumite chromate surface plating with an additional Superlac top-coat for exterior components, and epoxy-resin-based primer applied to coolant-exposed parts before Alodine/Alumite treatment.

But if I were to complain one teeny, tiny bit, it would be about our kitchen. If the rest of the house wasn't so perfect for us, this kitchen may have been a deal breaker for us. Having just completely renovated our old kitchen, we were much more aware of what we are looking for in a kitchen, as well as more aware what to look out for as far as quality finishes.
They used inexpensive stock cabinetry in a grainy oak-like (it's actually some 'exotic') wood, and didn't trim out the island or cabinetry as I would have done.
Gutting the kitchen is not an option: we'd never regain our money from doing so, and I think there is enough 'good' about this kitchen to work with what we have.
The good:
-Light fixtures
-counter tops (my dream kitchen would be marble and butcherblock, but I sure am not going to replace this nice granite)
-Appliances are decent.
-Love the glass cab's on the top
-the cabinet shape is fine. It's pretty close to shaker style.
-Faucet and sink are fine.
-general layout and island size is great.
-slow close glides on all the drawers (love this feature!).
The bad:
-grainy honey-oak type of wood
-The range is very small, and you can't put a large fry pan on it without interfering with the knobs. Also, I looooove this look for over ranges, but ours is a downdraft, so no range hood is necessary. My ideal range would be gas, but doing so requires running gas lines and cutting out the granite/reworking the cabinetry, which is perhaps more than we'd like to take on right now??
-would love double ovens (we do a lot of cooking and baking)
What we plan on doing:
1. Painting out the cabinetry in a cream colour (Marble White, by Benjamin Moore). We actually plan on hiring this out so we are able to get a super durable sprayed on finish.
2. Painting the island black, with light distressing.
3. Trimming out the side panels of the lower cabinets and island with beadboard, and adding beefy corbels.
4. Lining the back of the glass cab's with beadboard wallpaper, and painting the inside of the cab's either the same cream or the blue/grey of our wall colour
5. Looking into re-working the stove top area, and if not too costly, perhaps replacing the stove top with a full gas range (thus giving us double ovens and allowing me to incorporate my pretty range hood =)
6. Replacing the knobs and pulls.
I have done one mini project already, and will show you all soon!
In the meantime, I couldn't help including a picture of Madelyn looking so proud holding her baby sister =)
ps if you have any ideas for our kitchen facelift, I'd love to hear them!

This pregnancy is down to the home stretch – 3 weeks (give or take) until Little Miss graces us with her presence. We've got clothes, diapers, wipes, etc. Just about everything we "need" for her aside from a few more white onesies/tshirts and sleepers. I will pick the rest of the stuff up this week (ugh, need a couple co-sleeper sheets too *adds to list*).
Need to do 8 metric tons of laundry! I grabbed a big (full) hamper from our bedroom, hoisted it to the garage and loaded the washer. Then unloaded the dryer (why the dryer was full I have no idea), hoisted the clean clothes to the bedroom, dumped the basket and ran to the bathroom to throw up. I'm guessing that the baskets were too heavy or belly didn't like the kneeling or something. But seriously? I want to do more laundry – but now I am a little worried about getting sick again. Might have to let Alan tackle that task.
Still need to finish up the dishes – that shouldn't be too hard. Need to clean the living room (it WAS clean the other day – but then the dog went through the trash. Thanks Samson).
Guest room! It's coming along – but I still have a ton to do in there. Xander's room also but he's going to help me with that today (whether he wants to or not).
Guess I should finish off my coffee and get moving huh? Or have another cup of coffee …
