hello everyone. i've been viewing your site for months and have been looking through some of the work you guys have done, and i must say, great job!. i've always wanted to attempt to make a Jodo Kast replica armor suit (based on the decipher costume[http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en-commons/4/4d/Kast.JPG ] but have never been able to figure out where and how to start. finding your site was a blessing and all the information you guys have on the site is great.
i recently have gotten my business running and have been able to get some extra money so i've decided to start working on one of these. i'm guessing i should begin with a helmet and was wondering if anyhow had any tips on where to get one from? and if you have any other tips or comments about my suit please post.
best regards,

Day Three: Failure
47 comments:
Aww! I'm sure you'll figure something out! I think they're just too black... maybe highlighting the vertical lines on the pumpkins with a gray or silver or something? Bring the details of the pumpkins back into focus... And/or, could you carve a word into them and fill them with candles instead of flowers. Closer to a traditional jack-o-lantern but the black and letters instead of a face for a twist?ReplyDelete
Good luck!
I actually in my classroom spray paint pumpkins with black chalk board paint. I don't carve them. Then we do an emotions lessons and my students (who have autism) practice drawing faces on them. We draw sad faces, happy faces, scared faces, mad faces etc. Since its chalk we can mess up and re do as many times as we need to.ReplyDelete
What about drilling into the pumpkins to create holes to stick flowers in?
Not that I'm laughing at your suffering, I feel you I really do, but this kind of cracked me up. I could just see myself in your position doing the same thing. But I'm sure it can be salvaged. You could scrape bits of the black paint off revealing the pumpkin underneath, or maybe stencil another paint color on top - say with a nice lace design or something? That seems like it would be an easy enough save. Good luck to you, and don't be disheartened!ReplyDelete
First of all, you took a risk (google that, it's an important aspect of achieving success too) so pat yourself on the pack for that. Not to mention, a risk on day three takes some cahones and most people aren't confident enough to put themselves out there like that. I've just started following your blog because I am ready to make a career change/shift. My contract expires in ten months and I need my next step to be in the right direction. First thing on my list is to figure out which direction that is! Regardless, I'm enjoying your journey and there will be ups and downs and it is exciting.ReplyDelete
As for fall, another thing that comes to mind every year for me is texture. Tweed, wool, dried leaves, leather, pie crust, squash (mmm)... maybe you can look at your fall project from a different perspective. Also, when black fails you navy is always there to lend a new perspective. Best of luck but take pride in taking the risk and doing it with conviction, not just one pumpkin, but ten!

Go back and read your post about getting the job! You were so excited and your enthusiasm was contagious - I was over the moon with excitement for you and we don't even know each other of course! I have enjoyed your blog so much. You will create an excellent first project. It is in you! Also, quit calling yourself a loser. From where I sit, you are the opposite:)ReplyDelete
I actually really like the black pumpkins. They're very sleek. I'm not exactly sure how those flowers would look in them but I don't think it would be bad!ReplyDelete
Try carving out white pumpkins! ...then whatever color flower you feel like! (I don't know of much in the realm of black flowers... but something else could be good!)ReplyDelete
... or there are those gorgeous pale orange pumpkins that are so much more chic and somehow more organic looking than their bright counterparts. Whole Foods (at least the one on Houston and 2nd) has a beautiful assortment.
Cheers! and congrats on the job!

3. Ombre it out? http://www.marthastewart.com/269770/a-palette-of-pumpkins
4. Skip the pumpkins. Do branches instead i.e. Jenna Lyons
5. Black vases and keep the white flowers. (minus the creepy weird spiders/snakes on this picture) http://www.marthastewart.com/854497/deranged-halloween-centerpiece
GOOD luck! :) Best wishes from Dublin
maybe try and "beetlejuice" the pumpkins? Like paint white strips on them instead of all black?ReplyDelete
google Tim Burton for inspiration--he's a genius with black and white in him films...
good luck!Replies
thank you so much for beeltejuice idea! i just watched that move last weekend :) i'm doing it and giving you the credit of course. look for the post on thursday on Elizabeth Street!! i'll keep you posted.Delete
hey--forgot to tell you. i accidentally bought white OIL paint so i couldn't make this pumpkin. sorry :(Delete
Add glitter! You can save it!ReplyDelete
Glitter glue, puff paint in polka dots or stripes might work? Or pray paint in metallic shades could make it cool. Metallic = chic :)

Doing small white intricate polkadots in linear patterns/stripes or something day of the dead inspired would be great! Anthropologie had a store display where they had used pushpins to create textured designs on them too, or you could use the trick of putting white/nude stockings over the pumpkin for a patterned effect. You have so many options!! Good luck! -MoReplyDelete
Everyone beat me to it. I was thinking fun designs with silver gel pens or paint would lighten them up. :)ReplyDelete
I love Sadie's idea of black chalkboard paint with faces that can be changed by whoever walks by!ReplyDelete
Instead of flowers, fill the big pumpkin with lots of smaller gourds..painted or unpainted.
Halloween is suppose to be a little creepy, put the flowers in upside down with the stems sticking out.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing! It's nice to see the winners and sometimes the not so winners of DYI projects. I agree with the day of the dead suggestion, linear patterns, chevrons are big, silver sharpies. I'd lose the white flowers. I love that these are more modern chic and a little less Martha.ReplyDelete
Maybe try using fake pumpkins and then spray paint them black, silver, or white and use colored or white flowers inside.ReplyDelete
Use a SUPER high gloss black and keep some with the tops on. I saw some high gloss black pumpkins in the window of a floral shop where I live and they look erie and wicked.ReplyDelete
I would paint the tops out black as well and put them back on. Then either carve them out with images that are traditionally black (i.e cats, bats, and witches) and light them like a regular jack-o-lantern. Leave some of them whole too. I think it could be awesome and look great on the mid-century furniture (but ditch the flowers.).ReplyDelete
If you saved the tops/stems, I would spray paint those gold and put them back on. Chic a la Tom Dixon light fixtures. If you wanted "more" you could do some designs in gold paint/pen. Geometrics/triangles would be cool. I'd ditch the flowers. Whatever you do will be awesome. (I am actually going to try a black pumpkin with a gold top. I've inspired myself!)ReplyDelete

Welcome to the working world.ReplyDelete
I commented earlier under anon about day of the dead and patterns, and when I saw this on Pintrest tonight I had to send the link! -Mo
Sharon, I love your blog! I agree with Kristin, no more loser talk! You are raising 3 kids which, I would imagine means you AT LEAST feed, bath and cloth them everyday. I can hardly do those 3 things for myself everyday! I'm not a mom, but I can see why you would say that. I work only part time as an English teacher, and all though it's fun and had lots of vacation, the pay is nothing to brag about and I have a lot more potential! But we hope to have kids soon and I enjoy the freedom and non-stress of the job. Sadly, unless you are bring home the $$$, you feel like you aren't doing anything, but it's not true! In a perfect world, being a (great) mom would be the highest paid career choice! Congrats on the job and good luck with the pumpkins! You are very brave and I know you will come up with something fabulous! But those kids to work! Just remember failure is not a option!ReplyDelete
Hmm, I really like the black pumpkins! I think they would look really cute and halloweenish with some green mums. I do like the above ideas of adding some sparkle. But, I think it is awesome that you are willing to share when you feel like something does not quite measure up. Like your interest ombre cake that one time.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 13, 2012 at 1:21 AM
use a drill and drill 30 holes all around the pumpkin- flameless votives...now that would look really neat! sparkle silvery spray paint and "stary night pumpkin" is the new black! Fun idea hope you can at least jack-o-latern the black ones for a few days!ReplyDelete
I find your DIY failure sort of refreshing. There is so much ridiculous nonsense on Pinterest, and it's honestly a nice, relatable change of pace to read about someone trying to do something cool and experiencing underwhelming results. My favorite thing about your blog is your practicality and down-to-earth personality. That's also something I like about Cup of Jo, too - both of you actually seem like normal people who don't spend your days gilding acorn squash and making braided (fishtail, of course) mats out of corn husks.ReplyDelete
The best thing about your blog is the sense of humor you have about all of this, the way you openly acknowledge how your kids really don't give a crap about their adorable, fashionable American Apparel clothes, how they're just KIDS. It's so nice. It feels authentic.
Ella's feature on Cup of Jo has been my favorite tutorial she's ever posted. It was a breath of fresh air to see photos of a kid acting like a kid. Your family is so cool. No pinnable pumpkins required.
Congrats on the job, am super jealous! I love Elizabeth Street - am one of their Moms featured in the archives when they were just starting up. I really hope it goes well and you manage the juggle of Mom life and working life! Good on you!ReplyDelete
I would say, add some gold and get some wild flowers instead of white ones. :)ReplyDelete
ny and black pumpkins does sound like peanut butter and jelly.ReplyDelete
maybe you might want to add some grafiti or splatter paint. a la jackson pollack.
i have twin boys too....
thank you so much for the jackson pollack idea! i'm doing it and giving you and your the credit (of course!) look for the post on thursday on Elizabeth Street!! i'll keep you posted.Delete
Hey Shanon you must be so upset, because your post almost made me cry. Don't give up. Use any of the ideas above which are great. I have a small one : why don't you hand paint a heart or an "X" on the pumpkins with gold acrylic paint or any other craft paint in gold that you might find. And the white roses are what makes it a sad wedding. Change them with white dry flowers or wildflowers immediately. Or or or, if you haven't tossed them, spray the roses' branches or "tails" white and use them instead. Hope you get a way to make it work. Don't be harsh on yourself. Good luck :)ReplyDeleteReplies

Congrats on the new job:) These pumpkins are for moms,right? How about getting orange or glow in the dark tempra paint and having their kids' handprints on the outside of the pumpkin? Fill the pumkins with pumpkin spice wax and make a candle. Turn off the lights. Light the candle and there will be cute hand prints of their kids on the outside of the pumpkin....glowing in the dark!:)ReplyDelete

Hey - love your blog! And congrats on the job! I've been sitting on this same pumpkin idea as you for a few weeks now and am brewing up something of my own for my blog elysereagan.blogspot.com. It involves small white and those light orange pumpkins with sequins starting off really heavy around the stem and getting less and less frequent as it moves down the pumpkin. I thought it would be perfect to do with kids and still be a presentable centerpiece at the table. Maybe you can modify that for your black pumpkins? I agree with whoever above said leave the stems on to better identify it as a pumpkin and then some orange/white/gold/silver sequins could really pop against the black...ReplyDelete
If I ever get around to DIYing this on my blog I'll link it here for you to see! (As I'm sure you're already seeing, working full time and maintaining a personal blog is not a perfected art!)
Hi, If you want to salvage, one thing you could do was just scrape some of the paint off (using some designs) to show the orange from the pumpkins. And then you could fill it up with orange/yellow or mix of both flowers rather than white!ReplyDelete

School Bans Coca-Cola at Football Games
Attention high school football fans in Maine: B.Y.O.C. – Bring your own Coke.
The Portland Public School system will no longer allow soft drinks to be sold on school property – including at high school football games. School officials are also banning the sale of gridiron staples like buttered popcorn and potato chips.
Instead, football fans will be encouraged to nosh on baked tortilla chips, reduced fat string cheese and hummus.
The total ban on the sale of soft drinks is part of a new policy governing the sales of healthy foods and beverages, said Chanda Turner, Portland's school health coordinator.
"We're taking it to another level," Turner told Fox News. "We're not going to sell soda and it doesn't matter who it's to."
Read the entire policy by clicking here.
The school system released a statement online stating that "diet influences students' ability to learn, and they aim to ensure that food offered at schools and school events support student achievement."
The far-reaching policy covers food and beverages served at sporting events, staff parties, and school celebrations. Soft drinks will no longer be sold in the faculty lounge.
Parents will no longer be allowed to bring cupcakes to celebrate birthday parties. Teachers will no longer be allowed to reward students with a cookie or brownie.
"Using food as a reward for behavior and achievement can encourage unhealthy habits later in life," the school system said in a statement on its website.
Instead, teachers will be encouraged to reward boys and girls with an eraser, a sticker or "taking a walk with a special staff person."
Turner said food sold during the school day must meet the USDA's Healthier US Schools Challenge minimum nutrition standards at the Gold Award level. But they are also applying strict standards to food and beverages sold after hours.
"If it's a school organization or a school group doing the selling, then they need to meet some minimum nutrition standards," she told Fox News.
In other words, Mr. Pibb and Coca Cola are now banned.
Instead, the district said booster clubs are allowed to sell water, coffee, tea, 100 percent fruit juice or flavored waters that don't exceed 66 calories per eight ounces. Beverages are not allowed in a container larger than 12 ounces.
The school district also placed restrictions on pre-packaged foods. Regular potato chips are not allowed. However, baked potato chips are okay.
Among other items approved for sale at sporting events are whole-grain soft pretzels, fruit, sunflower seeds reduced fat string cheese, air-popped popcorn and vegetables.
Turner said prepared foods like burgers and hot dogs are still allowed but only if vendors provide a healthy alternative. For example, if you sell a cheeseburger, you have to provide whole fruit.
"You can have pizza but try to make it whole grain and lower fat cheese," she said. "Find that balance."
So what about nachos?
Turner said it depends.
"During the school day it would have to meet the school lunch standards," she said. "It's a much more complicated formula. If you're talking about a tortilla chip that's baked, if you're talking about a cheese sauce made more naturally, perhaps with low fat (cheese), I could see where you might be able to get nachos that meet (the guidelines). But you'd have to do a lot of work to do that."
The policy has earned praise from the Portland Press Herald. The newspaper's editorial board congratulated the school system for "instituting a pro-family, pro-student health policy."
But the policy does have its critics and a number sounded off on the local newspaper's website.
"Are they going to frisk for soda at the gate," asked one reader. "These feel-good, know-it-all infiltrators are wrong."
"Today it's soda, next it will be something else and then something else," another reader wrote. "They nanny-staters nibble away at our freedoms and for the most part we stand by and say, 'Oh, it's only soda.'"
Turner defended the policy against accusations the school system overstepped its boundaries.
"We are not making any restrictions on personal choice," Turner told Fox News. "The only thing we are affecting is – what are we as a school system going to sell or provide."
She said students and faculty are still allowed to bring their own soft drinks purchased off campus.
"It's not a complete restriction on anything considered non-healthy," she said. "We didn't want to go too far. We tried to find a nice happy medium."

I picked up a steal last night on a 76 Browning Auto 5 Magnum with 30" fixed full choke barrel. I was wanting to send it somewhere to have the barrel opened up to accept screw in Invector chokes. Has anyone here had any experience with this? I bought this thing to drag along on a few hunts since its in great shape and has synthetic stocks. I figured $400 wasn't a bad price for a great condition Jap Auto 5 with synthetic stocks, wood stocks, and 200 high brass #6's. I just need to open that barrel up some. You guys know of anywhere that I can get that done?
I've always been a huge Benelli fan. But in the last 2 weeks I've run up on great deals and bought the Jap Magnum Auto 5 30" full vr barrel I mentioned and a 1957 Belgium Light Twelve with 28" mod. vr barrel. i have fell in love with these guns. I can see already that the Belgium is going to be my dove killer. I can also tell my SBEII and my M2 will be left behind on some duck hunts to take that Jap Auto 5 along with me
Also does anyone know a ball park figure on what it may cost to have this done? I'm a big fan of Carlson's choke tubes. So I was hoping to get this barrel to where I could use them in IC and MOD

Re: Oceanis 38 to buy or not to buy
I have owned a 381 (1999) for five years and we are thrilled with her.
We did replace keelbolts when we purchased. I see some rust now that it is hauled for winter and I will attend to that. Marina claims to be able to fix it.
No other problems. Enjoy it.
Re: Oceanis 38 to buy or not to buy
Hi paddy, bought our 96' Oceanis 381 in September 2011 (UK) and have never looked back, i dont know what the draught is of the one you are looking at but ours is 1.62mt with a flared keel base, also has furling main, as for pointing I think she points very well and also fast in most winds. As for keel bolts, I believe all EU Benetubs have iron Keels and problems are not common, i checked and cleaned of the heads with a wire brush and painted, surveyor was not concerned at all. In fact a friend of mine hit a rock in the Channel Islands in his Oceanis 331 at about 6 knots, being convinced there was serious damage he had the boat lifted only to find just a dink to the base of the keel. Any questions drop me a line.
Re: Oceanis 38 to buy or not to buy
i own a 1999 381, we love it and hope you enjoy it if you are going ahead.
Keel bolts were replaced on suggestion of surveyor and seem fine since.
Sail on
Re: Oceanis 38 to buy or not to buy
You'll have to do some investigation... some Beneteaus, esp US built ones, may well have lead keels. In point of fact the 'bolts' (actually studs) on a cast iron keel might be changeable much more easily than any lead keel, depending how they are installed. Many are threaded into threaded holes the main keel body making individual replacement, even afloat, a 'possibility' if necessary - something not do-able with the typical cast-in 'J" bolts of the typical lead keel.
IMO an iron keel is not a deal breaker provided it's been looked after and properly sealed and protected from oxidation.. any visible rust upon haulout is not a good sign.
Re: Oceanis 38 to buy or not to buy
opps what should I be looking for on the keel bolts ?????
Re: Oceanis 38 to buy or not to buy
Oh yes this boat was never a charter boat ......2 owner boat ..... thanks for the insight on the liner ...this is something I can work around .......
tell me more about the keel bolts ???? what should I looking for ????
Re: Oceanis 38 to buy or not to buy
It is 2000 Oceanis 381 ...engine hrs are around 400 hours ....thanks for all the insights , we are going to step back for several days and do some serious thinking
Is there anything that you feel we should pay closer attention to on this boat ?????
Re: Oceanis 38 to buy or not to buy
Are we possibly talking about a 'Moorings' 38?.. one of the Beneteaus made expressly for the charter trade. Not all were sold into charter, but odds are. So another thing to look for is excessively high engine hours.
I have never liked that fabric headliner approach, it seems always to either lose its form and 'look' crappy, or decides to break down altogether and start separating. It's certainly possible to redo/replace it with something more attractive and practical, but it can be a big job. It would be a big issue for me as far as price negotiation.
Re: Oceanis 38 to buy or not to buy
paddy, leaking hatches and portlights are best fixed by replacing the gaskets. If you don't want to get adventurous, Beneteau can probably sell you replacements. Use Armorall or a similar product on the replacments and they will last much longer. Ignore them, and they'll fail similarly. Simple cleaning is not likely to help.
If the "wallpaper" was foam backed, foam often breaks down and crumbles over time and the only solutions are to clean (scrape/scrub with a brush, wire wheel, abrasive block) down to solid fiberglass, then put up a new material or paint it, install battens, etc. as you choose. You can use a permanent "headliner" type spray cement and try to glue the old stuffback up, but that's a kludge and often an ugly one.
Re: Oceanis 38 to buy or not to buy
If you are looking for a good family coastal cruising boat, It will meet your requirements.
The statements above about roller furling main and wing keel our correct. She is not going to point well. I know from experience. We did convert out our main sail for when we give it a go at some long distance racing, so a good sail loft can make a non furling sail to work for special limited occasions.
Our head liner is solid, not fabric. It is nice that Benny provided access to points that have deck hardware installed, but it is very inconvenient if you want to add a piece of hardware in a different location.
We don't have material covering the exposed walls, ours are covered in veneered wood / fake wood paneling.
I am only speaking in general terms, I can not address the exact model as we sail a 361.
What year is the boat?
What model? I know you said Oceanis 38, but I thought that it wasn't until recently, say the past 6 years or so that they went with single digit model numbers. That being the case, I would not expect the liner material to be falling down already.

backfire thru carb
i have a new 383 built by T&L engines in NC.
it has dart heads 180cc runners, air gap, roller cam, roler rockers, small cam pertronic's flame thrower with ignitor II, blaster coil, headers of 1 1/2 or 1 5/8, two cats and mufflers all in 2.5" tubing. the truck is an 84 chevy k-10 with 33" tires new rebuilt 700r4 and stock gearing for now i think 340's. the carb is a road demon of 725 size with electric choke.
i have a holley electric fuel pump regulator set at 6.75lbs at carbs, and two filters one before pump and one after.
the pump line to carb goes regulator. then one side of regulator goes to carb and one goes back to tank thru original fuel lines (small one)
its rich at idle ( i can smell it ) gets about 7 mpg. doing a slow increase of engine rpm (100 rpm a sec) the engine will pick up 300 rpm very quickly at 1600 rpm. it does this in park or while driving. most of the backfire thru carb occur prior to it reacing 1600 rpm. i did have backfire thru carb at wot after this rpm point of 1600 but the holley fuel pump fixed that problem.
now now while driving before i hit the 1600 rpm point it acts lean when give a small quick throttle movement, kinda like its not getting a big enough shot.
if i stab it it pops and drops to about 200rpm then comes back to idle of 800 if i let off the throttle once it pops.
the bowls are showing right in the middle, no fuel out of the boosters that i can see or feel.
this engine was dyno broke in and tuned with this carb or so they say. i do know the engine was ran because of the soot on the exhaust ports and the residual oil in oil pan.
it came with auto light 3922's and i have when hotter with the 24's. they seemed to help a bit but not much.
the most vaccume i can get is around 12 indicated. i have the line in the back of the carb going to brakes and and the untimed one going to the a/c / heater controls.
my question is why the rpm change from 1600 to 1900 very quickly?
what to do about the backfire thru carb?
i have been talking to loyd at T&L and he is sending me some larger squirters but i really dont think thats the proble but could be.
also one other problem is that that with the choke on it just pours out black smoke. i now have it fixed in the full open position till i get the other problems fixed.
thanks for all the help in advance
I have found backfire thru carb was caused 80% of the time by timing.
10% of the time by valve issues like sticking intake valve or burn ones.
the last 10% I reserve for the unknown havn't see that yet disclaimer.
Your choke issue sounds very much like shes flooding.
It is possible your getting to much squirt and flooding out rather than leaning on quick throttle bump. <like hitting it with a can of carb cleaner it will bog and recover>
Check the float fuel stops for leak by.
Check the timing , use the back yard method of mark current location and advance it a bit. see if this has an effect. You mark it so you know where you started and can easily return it to that position.
Check the valve train
To get fire in the carb you have to have an intake valve open when there is flame. This is usually timing but, can be fire still in the cylinder as the valve opens or the mixture is hitting a hot cylinder <preignition>.
725 seems like allot of cfm for a 383, but the above link shows a 720 is needed at 6500rpm.
what vacuum is it pulling? Compression ratio? Cam Specs?
A couple of questions for you:
1) Does this backfire happen at a steady RPM, as your slowing increasing the RPM or When you're going to WOT quickly? Different times will have different causes.
2) How large is the camshaft in the engine?
3) How much initial, and total ignition timing are your running?
Normally a backfire through the carburetor is an indication of being too lean. It sounds like you've got a couple of things going on here, rich at idle and lean off idle? You may not have the proper advance curve in the ignition system, it can cause a situation like this.
the roller cam is
224 intake @ .050
232 exhaust @.050
.520 intake
.525 exhaust
were not going to mess with the road demon they have nothing but trouble with them. so he is going to send a holley 750 out to me.
A Road Demon wouldn't run real well on a combination like this since they are designed for milder cam profiles, up to a maximum of 220 Degrees duration @ .050".
he will be sending a holley 750 double pump that they use on the there small blocks. i like the look of the BG's and the improvments.
So for this engine backfiring thru the intake is because of the cam being 4 degrees more than your recommended specs of 220?
what carb do you recomend for this engine?
i have seen other 383's with bigger cams running close to 460 hp being ran off the 625 road demon with 82 mains.
why does a big cam have an effect on how a carb runs? you would think that if its because of lack of vac. that you could tune for that.

Another question that needs to be asked. Is the distributer vacuum advance, or mechanical. i have run into this problem before when my 69 truck was carbed. Ended going through the entire fuel and ignition system to only find that the advance diaphragm on the distributer had failed. It had hardened up from the fuel vapors. And another thing i have noticed with alot of carbes on the market despite all the power valves and such, if u get 1 up fire through the carb it never runs right again unless u rebuild.
There was two other times this happened to me and found that the advance springs had stretched and were worn out.
Hope this may help.
its not vac advance. it is also a new distributer from pertronics.
its supposed to have backfire protection but who knows.
thanks for trying to help though.
i just went out to mess with engine. i gave the dist. some advance started it and then check the timing. it was dead steady at 11 degrees at 700 rpm cold. the last time i checked it was set at about 11.5-12 degrees at 800. this was with a different gun and about two weeks ago. so anyway i go for a drive. its allot better. i still get a back fire at low rpm with a very quick application of throtle(mash to the floor) but not anywhere near as bad as before.
will different brands of timing lights read different?
i checked it again after i pulled back in parking spot after running it to get it warm and still at 7-800 rpm and 11 degrees. the quick rpm rise from 1600 to 1900 is very small now.
i did rev it up some to an unknown rpm but a guess af around 2800-3000 and saw just about 30 degrees of timing. the builder wants 32 degreesat 4500 rpm.
i will drive to work in am to see if anything has changed or drives about the same.
BG TECH are you just someone working for them and just answering out of a book with common problems? i guess i am just asking for your experience just want to make sure you are truely a tech. i know some companys have so called tech's that are just looking up the problem and then reading the answer back to the person. see what i am getting at. i sent an email to the "tech's" at BG website and no response. but get one smae day here.
Bo we're actually technical support. The 725 Road Demon series carburetors are designed for larger cubic inch milder engines. We're dealing with multiple problems here, a smaller cubic inch engine, with a more radical camshaft, and an airgap intake manifold which acts like an open plenum intake. The decrease in air velocity, and only running 11 degrees of initial timing are causing the rich idle, and lean off idle conditions you're seeing. Increasing the ignition timing a few degrees to about 14 should help some, but you'd need to increase the squirter size if the only time your backfire is happening is when you step on the throttle quickly. We build our carburetors more specifically then other manufactures, this gives us a smaller window where they will work properly. You may be able to crutch the combination to get it to work better with this carburetor, but it will not work as well as it would with a different carburetor. On this combination we would have recommended a 650 Speed Demon carburetor.
The Carb.....
I haven't read the whole thread...but your initial post does not refer to the size of carb you have on this engine....
A 383 is still a small engine...
Is the carb jetted correctly? Are you using an appropriate CFM?
Going big on a carb is not always the smart thing to do...
I agree.....

text: Backlight notification (BLN) on Samsung Galaxy S II? Yes, it is not a dream anymore. Using NoLED on Samsung Galaxy S2 does help to get notified when we have missed call, SMS or email. But it eats a bit more battery compare to backlight notification. Therefore, BLN is the ultimate solution for Samsung Galaxy S2 users. Too bad that Samsung did not enable this feature on stock firmware. But no worry, there is backlight notification for SGS2 users now.


text: My family and I are being relocated to Ga and my wife and I are both concealed carriers in Nc. We are wanting to get our ccw in Ga. We were just wondering if anyone could help us figure out how to get one here in Ga? I have been reading and I don't see anything about having to take a concealed carry class but everyone offers the class. In NC we had to take the class in order to obtain the permit. So do we have to take the class or not? Also I don't see anything about length of time you have to be a resident of a certain county or even the state of Ga before you can apply. In Nc it carries by county. Where we lived you had to live there for a year before you could even apply for just a regular pistol permit. So are there time restrictions? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Stieglitz stops Abraham after three
By Karl Freitag
Photo: Peter Gercke/SES
In a rematch, Robert Stieglitz (44-3, 27 KOs) regained the WBO super middleweight title by dethroning champion Arthur Abraham (36-4, 28 KOs) via TKO after round three on Saturday night at the GETEC Arena in Magdeburg, Germany. The first round was all Stieglitz as Abraham pretty much just covered up. Things heated up in round two. Stieglitz often led with his head, while Abraham responded with shots to the back of the head. Abraham's left eye was closing after round two. Good round for Stieglitz again in round three, plus Abraham was deducted a point by referee Michael Ortega for punching behind the head. The fight was stopped after round three due to the condition of Abraham's eye. Officially a TKO4.
WBO #1 heavyweight contender Robert Helenius (19-0, 11 KOs) won a workmanlike ten round unanimous decision over Michael Sprott (37-20, 17 KOs). Very much a sparing session as "The Nordic Nightmare" won by scores of 98-93, 97-93, 98-92.
Middleweight Lukas Konecny (49-4, 23 KOs) won a twelve round technical decision ove Karim Achour (14-4-2, 3 KOs) in a bout for the vacant WBO European middleweight title. The bout went to the cards after Konecny suffered bad cuts due to headbutts. Scores were 118-110, 116-112, 118-110.
WBO/WIBF female flyweight champion Melissa McMorrow (9-3-3, 1 KO) won a ten round split decision over Nadia Raoui (15-2-1, 3 KOs) to retain her titles. Scores were 99-91, 96-94 McMorrow, 96-94 Raoui.
Super middleweight contender George Groves (18-0, 14 KOs) scored a second round TKO over Baker Barakat (37-14-4, 25 KOs). Right hands by Groves did the trick. It was Groves' second fight in two weeks.
Heavyweight Edmund Gerber (23-1, 14 KOs) survived a late rally from Gbenga Oloukun (18-9, 11 KOs) to win a close eight round unanimous decision by scores of 77-76, 77-76, 77-75. Oloukun complained bitterly about the result.
Other results:
Mortiz Stahl KO1 Joszef Orsos (light heavyweight)
Enrico Koelling W6 Josef Obeslo (light heavyweight)

Hello everyone, this is Ceres. i thought it would be a good idea to create this thread to stop random people for asking questions that were already answered before. if you want me to add your question to the list send me a pm.
From now on this the questions an answers will be in two different fonts to stop you people from confusion. and eyeblinds *lawl*
Q: What happen to all the Questions? most of them are missing!!
A: As you should know Sandman has been using his admin powers and have deleted a few threads without stating a reason. It also looked like he has visted this thread and delete around 20 questions&answers without my permission. and im not happy with it either, it may be other moderators or admins.. i could understand the cb q&a being deleted but the other questions had nothing to do with it!
Q: Has this question ever been answered before?
A: If you do not want to use your time to look through the whole thread, then press ctrl+f and find the words for questions or answers you're looking for.
Q: What is the website for English Latale?if you want to know what level you require to advance into 2nd class you can search for class / job change or advanced / advance
A: the website for the english version of Latale is http://latale.ogplanet.com/
Q: What are the system requirements to play Latale?
A: View the picture shown below to see the required specs.
Answerer: Kris
A: No, there arn't any items required to shoot ranged weapons. the ranged skills also need nothing but sp.
A: Travelers have skills available when you choose the dagger weapon. There are two skill tree paths to choose from, you may choose to raise both of them, but you will lack sp for other skills such as passive skills for travelers. The first skill tree is based on melee, the skill motions are related to dancing with your weapon and illusions. the second skill tree for dagger travelers lets you throw kunais, bombs, and many more.
Q: What class can use heavy weapons or sub weapons?
A: Travelers can learn skills that lets you use heavy weapons (as a skill motion) instead of an equipment if you want something close to that choose the crossbow weapon. This weapon has unique skills to make you special in many ways. Don't forget this weapon is one of the strongest weapon in game too! ^^
Q: What new skills do you get for 2nd class?
A: When you advance into a 2nd class you get weapon skills with same motions but with improved graphic effects and damage. this means you'll have 2 same skills 1 with low graphics and lower damage 2 with greater graphic effects and higher damage. You also get your 2nd class passive skills and active skills that is not related to your weapon.
Q: Where can i find screenshots of this game?
A: There is a screenshot sticky thread in this forum (Free Mmorpg) a few people have posted screenshots there for people to view (including me) here are direct links of my screenshot posts. enjoy ^.~
Q: Are there any unique items in the game?
A: I have explained before, there are "special" items that can be earned by current monsters. (usually from minibosses) these type of items
have neat options such as +1 to current skills, high attack power and more! there are set items that can be earned from instant dungeons. those are dropped by regular monsters, so you could choose to go straight to the boss or grind on instant dungeon's field monsters.
Q: Are there any promotion videos for Latale?
A: Yes, infact i have uploaded two of them. the first one is korean the second one is in japanese.

Q: Where can i find screenshots of this game?
A: There is a screenshot sticky thread in this forum (Free Mmorpg) a few people have posted screenshots there for people to view (including me) here are direct links of my screenshot posts. enjoy ^.~
Q: Will the English version of Latale have Movement Delay or Lag?
A: Maybe, if you have framerate problems you'll definately lag in the game stopping you from jump roping! you will most likely lag only when you live far from the servers.
Tip: there are no ways to play Og planet's Latale unless you use a proxy!
Q: Will OGplanet block foreign ips, including the Uk?
A: Most likely, Yes! it is a must. there is no hope for no ip blocks, this wasn't confirmed but from my experiance it will happen. if they're kind enough for the first time they will probably decide to block countries with their own versions.
reason: these type of games have terrible connection lag when you're playing overseas, it could some how effect the other users if it gets worse, so there is no hope for them to not blocking ips. its for the gamers out there, if they don't this game will be in big trouble! (IT HAPPENS DURING AN INSTAND DUNGEON RAID WITH A PARTY IN THE OVERSEAS)
Q: Gabd3v (youtube) - Can you run latale with Mac?
A: Can you even run other side scrollers with mac? the answer is No, you can't run Latale with Mac. you need a "normal" computer. -___-
Q: Where can i find gameplay videos of Latale?
A: I have alot of latale videos on my channel http://www.youtube.com/user/Lilith693 type in latale in the search window to find latale videos. Enjoy ^.~
Q: I want to try the korean version, is there a registeration guide?
A: Yes, there is a one here [url]http://z15.invisionfree.com/Sdgotale/index.php?showtopic=2[/youtube]
Q: Does this game have a pvp system? & is there a guild vs guild system?
A: Yes, there is a pvp arena in the 2nd town called "Elias" there are many choices you could make before you pvp. you can choose to go to the arena with current ammount of people, pvp arena is channel linked!
2 man
4 man
6 man
8 man
there are also many maps available but its most likely a random pick.
Q: Is there a healing class in this game?
A: Yes, mages start out with heal skills available. it is in the water element skill tree, Artists usually start off as a healer. ^^
Q: What npcs do you have to meet to advance into 2nd class?
A: There arn't any npcs to talk to, all you have to do is reach lv.80 then go to the job change center located in 4th floor of ruin of abyss. when you fall all the way down a microphone will ask you what class you prefer to advance into, then it double checks if you're sure or not, once thats done you will be advanced into a 2nd class! here is a movie from mncast.
YouTube Video
Q:How do you be a Agi/Dex character when the stats are auto?
A:Enchanting an equipment with a Agi or a Dex puzzle gives you hit rate and dodge rate, there are no stats that highers hit and dodge rates, the only stats in game is Str,Vit,Int,Luck. you can also higher Str/Vit/Int/Luck by enchanting equipment with your puzzles. there are also food items and pet buffs to boost your stats.
Q: How much Ely do you need to create a guild?
A: You require about 3mil Ely to create a guild and another 100k~5mil Ely [price depends on the guild marks quality] to add a guild mark next to your guild name.
Q: What is good about guilds?
A: The pros for guilds are stat ups, there are three different paths to choose for a guild, Order, Chaos, and Neutral
Order gives you dex stat ups, Chaos gives you Agi stat ups and Neutral gives you Vit stat ups.
Q: Is there anyway to reset skill points? i don't want to use the same weapon till lv.80!
A: There are sp reset books sold by npcs with red hats, it costs 100k. also you will have a free skill reset at lv.80. You can't use 1st class skills when you advance into Classes that have their own type of weapons (guns,dualblades only) so a free skill reset is a must. you can raise any weapon skill you prefer to use before gunslinger or blader advancement, but the other advanced classes with the same weapons require you to raise weapon skills of your choice.
Reason: this is because you get the same skills with modified graphic effects with a number 2 on it, if you learn the claymore skills before warlord class change as in example, once you class change you will have claymore #2 skills available - if you see spear #2 skills, please let me know. it "COULD HAVE" patched. ^.~
Q: How does compounding work?
A: Compounding? Do you mean "Enchanting"? There is an NPC that sells different types of puzzle pieces.
These puzzle pieces give different effects and also have different levels. Lvl 1 Intelligence, for example.
Each level has it's own range. For example, a Lvl 1 Intelligence Puzzle Piece
can give from +1 Int. to +3 Int. The higher the level, the higher the min. and max. ranges go.
Along with different effects, the puzzle pieces only fit into specific items.
For example, a Min./Max. Magic Power Puzzle Piece would only go into a weapon, more specifically, a weapon that a character from the "Magician" branch uses, meaning an instrument, staff, or orb.
(Answered by SoulAlchemie)
Q: What is the max level in this game? is it more or less grindy than maple?
A: The max level is lv.200 but nobody has reached there yet, it is of course less grindy than maplestory. with the quests available you'll reach Lv.120 in less than two months, but it really depends on how long you play the game per day.
Q: Are Latale's quest worthless? i do not want to waste my time on stinky quests!
Q: No, the quest in latale are very easy to do. with its incredible experiance rewards it is the source to *************.
they usually give potions and equipment, which helps you save extra money for the future!
Q: What are the top pvp classes in order?
A: This game is pretty well balanced, if we have to compare it with maplestory. anyways here is the order
1.Warlords - these guys are very powerful in damage and has a great range for a melee character. they also have decent vit to have enough hp, if you go Agi you could defeat many of the other classes. Agi bladers and Dex Warlords are most likely rivals. the
only character warlords have problem with are usually ranged classes and some melee classes like Guardians and Bladers.
2.Bladers - these guys are actually pretty powerful with incredible attack speed! i think they also move slightly faster than other character, these guys can destory the pvp arena with Decent Agi spec if you enchant your items or buy enchanted equipment from other users. though their weaknesses are Dex characters if they have a high dex spec being agi makes it useless. but they will most likely always need a dex pudding ( a food that boosts your dex ) to actually hit them well.
3.Temple knights - the class that has the most resistance to magic and melee! a crap load of tank. this isn't such a bad class either the only cons for this class may be that they have lower damage than most of the other classes (usually)
4.Sorcerers - the most destructive class of them all, some of the magic can get cancelled if opponent attacks with a skill that can cancel, you require a good timing to defeat sorcerers, cancelling their skills can give you a chance to win. but if you fail to cancel their skills you'll most likely be dead, unless you find another chance.
5.Gunslingers - these guys arn't so bad either, if you got common sense and timing senses you could hit the pvp rankings with this class. this class is "weak" but "fast" and another pro is that its "Ranged" it is easy to combo even in the pvp arena. their move speed buff makes them alot faster but the penalties in that is to lose attack power.. other than that its a pretty stylish class!
6.Guardians - this is the class i have been hating on when everyone asks how these classes are, its because i like this type of class and i wanted to be mean to you! xD! anyways this class isn't so bad either, its a pretty neat character if you learn to use it correctly, they arn't as good in mvp but are pretty decent fighters in pvp.
7.Treasure hunters - this class is very powerful, i'd vote this class as the most interesting class! a crossbow can be very annoying!!
the skill range is very long and the damage is pretty high! dagger treasure hunters arn't that bad either, you just need to move like a ninja/assasin, if you never go face to face against a ranged class you'll do wonders with daggers. before you advance into treasure hunters as a traveler you can learn passive skills that makes you do more damage when you backstab your opponents / monsters.
Q: What new skills do you get for 2nd class?
A: When you advance into a 2nd class you get weapon skills with same motions but with improved graphic effects and damage. this means you'll have 2 same skills 1 with low graphics and lower damage 2 with greater graphic effects and higher damage. You also get your 2nd class passive skills and active skills that is not related to your weapon.
KnucklesPros- This weapon is the second fastest weapon, the only weapon that has 3skill paths to choose from. (the others have 2)
Con- Has short range, and low damage.
Review: this weapon is preferred to be used by warriors and knights only. The knights have a 2nd class called "Guardians" who are specialized in knuckles. but they have a penalty from giving up shields - Defence loss is a big penalty!
A:Warrior - this class is very offensive and has an average ammount of defence, the main weapons they can use before class change are claymores (2H swords) and spears. this is the class to choose for "easy money"
ClaymoresPros-This weapon is the most popular weapon for warriors for its looks, it has nice skill effects to start out with and has a decent attack power.
Cons-The penalty of having high attack power is the attack speed, its a bit slower than spears. claymore skills also use more sp than the spear skills.
SpearsPros-This weapon is a bit faster than swords and are easier to use during the late 60s. uses less sp than sword skills
Cons-Its a faster weapon so it does have a penalty, it is a bit weaker than the sword.
There are two classes you can advance into. Warlords or Bladers
1:Warlord - if you want to continue on using claymores or spears this is the class to advance into. this class is specialized in both claymores and spears. this class is powerful but a slower than Bladers. they also have great skill graphics to make you enjoy the game for a longer period.
2:Blader - if you don't like claymores and spears, you have a choice to advance into this class to use Dual blades. this class is specialized in blades only. this class has decent attack power and very fast attack speed. but there is one small penalty! they lose sp when they attack. they also do not have much skills so you could get tired very quickly.
B:Knight - this class has alot of defence, but lacks in attack power. if you choose to use a knuckle and give up your shield, you will lack in both attack power and defence at the same time.
Short swordsPros-decent attack speed, you can equip shields for additional defence. neat weapon sprites.
Cons-low attack power, one skill tree has low graphic effects.
ClubsPros-average attack power, you can also equip shields for additional defence because clubs are also a 1h weapon. has neat skill effects and is a good weapon type to start out with.
Cons-slower than short swords, ugly weapon sprites until the late 20s.
This job also has 2 classes to advance into. Temple Knights or Guardians
1:Temple Knight - You should have guessed, this class is specialized in both short swords and clubs.
this class is extra defensive knight class with various buff skills available to learn.
2:Guardians - this class can only use knuckles, you must give up your shield if you want to advance into this class.
don't expect this class to be very powerful just because you had to give up your shield. nothing changes the fact that this class was a "knight"
C:Magician - This class is bad in both attack power and defence, most mages are like that. they have a very high magic attack power and quick cast speed depending on what element you choose. this class is specialized in using element stones to give additional damage to your magic, the other classes can use element stones too but they have no effect on damage boosts.
StaffsPros-if you equip a staff your character rides the staff instead of running. you can cast a normal element magic without learning anything with a staff by pressing the x button. has additional magic attack % on the staff option.
Cons- if a monster hits you your casting will cancel. Low defence
DaggersPros-fast attack speed to cancel monsters attack, you can cast after canceling a monsters attack. every class can wear shields if they can wear 1 handed weapons (warriors need to unequip thier weapons to equip their shields)
Cons- No magic attack % boost
Talk about obvious, there are also 2 classes for mage, Sorcerer and Artist.
1.Sorcerer - this class is a very destructive mage and is specialized in staffs and orbs. you may use daggers and shields but its preferred to use orbs or staffs at this class instead.
2.Artist - this class is rather a healer or a buff character like a cleric this class can only use guitars. they have skills that lets you play the guitar to kill a whole mobs of monsters.
D:Traveler - This class is one of the most weakest job (in both attack and defence) to choose in the game. the only thing they must rely on is their criticals which only happens when you have high critical rates (their job skills lets you raise that)
there are rumors that luck raises a bit of critical rate, but im not so sure of that. this class has job skills to higher Ely earned, and higher rare rates!
BowsPros-this weapon is the fastest weapon in game. it has a decent range to start out with. its a good weapon to make money with.
Cons-penalties always appear, doesn't it? this weapon is also the weakest weapon in game. the skill effects arn't that great in the future.
CrossbowsPros-one of the most strongest weapons in game. it has a longer range than bows. the skill graphics are gorgeous.
Cons-if you use weak attack your character punches instead of shooting with a bow its a very fast but a weak attack.
DaggersPros- this is probably the 3rd fastest weapon in the game. the skill graphics are pretty decent. this is a very fun weapon to choose! and you can also cover travelers weak defence with shields available to wield! ^^
Cons- fast means weak. thats a fact!
Reminder:this is the last job.
there are also two classes for this job, Treasure hunter and Gunslinger.
1:Treasure Hunter - this class makes travelers great, if you ever regret for choosing travelers this class will make up to you. this class has mines available unlike other characters and are specialized in all weapons available for travelers (Bows,Crossbows and Daggers)
2:Gunslinger - this class is a bit quicker ranged character than bow treasure hunters. but are also weaker than treasure hunters. the only reasons people choose this class is because they have pistols and its not just one pistol its TWO = Dual = Double or nothing! just like Bladers they don't have much attack skills.
Now i haven't inserted everything, lets get the questions going! ^^

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hey guys. My high school offers seniors the chance to spend a month doing stuff interning at a business, school or doing a creative project instead of going to classes. I am going to make a zine.
It is very exciting, but copies cost money and it's going to be long. So to finance it I want to sell advertisement space. But I have never done this before. I would consult my copy of Stolen Sharpie Revolution but I sent it to a friend. To all of you who have had advertisments in your zines before I ask you:
1. How do you find advertisers? Are they other zinesters or local businesses?
2. How do you figure out how much you are going to charge?
3. How does payment work? Do they pay you after the zine is printed or up front?
Any little bit of info helps. Thanks!

Advertisers can be business, non-profits, zinesters, anybody.
If you have a copy of Zine World, see what they charge. Also, check out local adsheets, the kind they give out for free at supermarkets. That'd give you an idea. If this is your first zine, I don't think you're in much of a position to ask for too much. Your advertisers would have to know what your print run and circulation are, and of course, your content. If you're content is controversial, that might scare off a lot of advertisers, but that's par for the course in zines. You might try places like tattoo and headshops, local rock bands, co-ops, etc.
I confess here, I don't know that much about it, since I only *trade* ads with zinesters and papernetters, and it's pretty informal. Often, I'll just print ads and hope other zinesters will reciprocate. My ads draw very little response, but I'm used to that.
Hope you'll get some advice from a zinester with more business savvy than I have.
"How do you find advertisers? Are they other zinesters or local businesses?"
Local small businesses and look whose advertising in other zines. If you are genre specific, like say doing a music oriented zine, you can contact businesses that might be interested in the genre.
"How do you figure out how much you are going to charge?"
Size of your print run and size of the ad are big factors. Since this is your first issue and you have no proven track record, I'd say make 'em cheap. Especially if you are going to have a small print run. Think of it from the advertiser's perspective, will they be getting their money's worth. They might say pay $5-$10 for a half page ad in a small print run new zine, but they won't pay $50.
"How does payment work? Do they pay you after the zine is printed or up front?"
I always have made advertisers pay up front with zines. We didn't when I did a magazine and that didn't work out to well. We were owed tens of thousands of dollars in the end when we folded by advertisers that didn't pay for their ads.
I should point out that you will have a really hard time finding ads before publishing your first issue. The first issue of 10 Things I paid for myself to print and only started looking at getting a few ads when I was on my second or third issue.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Protect your rights
I know my legal rights, so politely asking for a badge number/name should be a no brainer. Personally, I would have a digital recorder in my pocket to record the event and would sue the town in a second for violating my civil rights and making a false arrest; could use the financial award to update my boat! Of course, don't argue with the official and be polite, but get information such as name, the official's boat registration number, date, time, description of the official, etc. all on the recorder. Have several copies of the current state law aboard and politely offer the official a copy. Contact the local town hall/harbor master and speak someone in charge to review their understanding of the law and your circumstances. Report to federal and state officials those communities not following the law, and get their names and title also. Go ahead and arrest me! I look forward to winning the punitive damages that follow such matters. Having said all this, don't be a jerk and usually an arrest will not happen - you can do all this and still obey the official! Remember, knowledge is real power and it can be wielded respectfully and politely. Make sure you know the state laws! If arrested, do not speak until you get into court to address the matter, and if not satisfied with the outcome, file a lawsuit (some may not have the time, but I would make a point of it because I despise bullies). Do not argue or get angry - use your knowledge of state law to win, and the next time you get harassed in that community, give the official a copy of your judgement. Again, knowledge is power!
NO real change actually, the former state statues 327.6 and 327.2 have been in effect since 2006. the issue was no-one took the time to enforce or defend them until the stewart ,fl case. If you follow this board you'll also see just a couple weeks ago I was given a "courtesy Notice" to move my vessel from the Daytona Beach city waters. After which I did a little research contacted the police Dept. spoke w/ the Sgt. in charge of the marine patrol and discussed the local ordinance, the state Statue and he assured me he would inform his officers of the specifics and also said that the Daytona PD is not in the bussiness of "parking Patrol" on the water and that he did not have issue w/ anchored vessels properly licenced, meeting all safety requirements.
I am happy with the response from him and thanked him for his time/help.
I believe most all reasonable people will see the merit in this approach, for those that choose not to on either side of the issue their is/are legal remedies available to pursue.
Fortunately , for myself and other who appreciate the maritime tradition and right of anchorage it appears things are going more our way, Huray !
So, no more excuses- cast off the docklines and come to florida !
See you on the water.

New info re.: Florida Anchoring: (As of July 28, 2009)
BoatUS.com: Government Affairs
Also, as they say in the article, some local officials choose to remain ignorant of the state laws and you should carry a copy of this on board:
Florida Open Water Society's Current Position
The FOWS executive and many senior members are encouraged by the recent work in Tallahassee. Our members and supporters efforts this winter and spring have had a significant impact on Bills 1423 and 2536 (currently being aligned between House and Senate). Improvements to liveaboard language that better accommodates cruisers and better defines derelict hulks are promising. All who seek details should view the many anchoring rights posts under any of the Florida tabs on Cruisers Net your best source for up to date information on the Waterway - Home. Several points of view are discussed including Wayne Marshall's of SSCA, who has been very dialed into the latest language. BoatUS, NMMA, SSCA and the Cruiser's Net are reporting that they are pleased with the progress made in conjunction with Legislators, FWC and League of Cities representatives.
FOWS for the time being will remain neutral (neither advocating scrapping or passage of the bill), our understanding is that the language has been left subtle and vague by design so that each "Test Area" won't have constraints - allowing trial cases to be tailored to each region and evolve separately to see what works well in different areas. A variety of test site methods will also inform all parties as to the merits of different approaches and what BOATERS in these areas consider fair and in keeping with the traditions of their regions. So we are "ON APPROACH" with a still rudder and an idling engine - to see how the currents and winds will effect the process and obstacles to come. We ask our members and supporters to standby, be ready to steer and apply power in the development of these 5 pilot projects. We see the precedents formed during the development of these coming mooring test sites as more important than the bill's language (where moorings and anchoring are concerned).
Our membership has been expanding around (and beyond) the state and FOWS is evaluating the best options for our organization's continuing growth - we will be particularly interested in forming chapters in each of the test site areas...stay tuned. We should also state that while our infrastructure has been struggling to keep up with new members and coordinating with folks from different regions, any input and assistance for our networking abilities would be greatly appreciated. A very big thank you to Southwinds Magazine for assisting our efforts. Welcome to our new members, thanks your support.... we will be engaging you more as the organization develops.
Progress On Hb1423 And Companion Senate Bill Still Needs Input
Latest (3/23/09) From SSCA On Florida Anchoring Bill Print E-mail
Wednesday, 25 March 2009
The release below is from the Seven Seas Cruising Assocation. The Cruisers' Net presents the text in full. Be advised that we have not yet been able to verify any of this independently.
Update on
Report on Status of Florida Mooring Field Issue
March 23, 2009
Wayne Marshall, Chairman
SSCA Concerned Cruisers Committee
Wow! Do I have some good news for a change! It appears that boaters have prevailed and successfully convinced our legislators that we have a decent plan!
IMPORTANT NOTE! SSCA NO LONGER FEELS that our best course of action is to kill this bill. In fact, we fully support its passage. The committee work today between the Florida Open Water Society, (Also representing the SSCA) Natl Marine Manufacturers Association, The Florida Leagues of Cities and Counties, and FWC personnel has resulted in a very acceptable group of amendments to further clarify this issue for the benefit of boaters! Among the many subtle but very significant changes is that the definition of live-aboard has been re-written to EXCLUDE cruisers in transit in any way, shape or form. That alone is a tremendous improvement of the status of cruisers, and recognition of the derelict boats as the major part of the problem.
This is a significantly positive change in the position of the League of Cities and also a complete change of position for the SSCA. We were originally taking the position that the Bill was incomplete and did not represent boaters interests at all. Now, after a tremendous amount of behind the scenes work, reinforcing the SSCAs interests, Boaters have won the battle it appears
So, please dont stop your phone and email contacts to Tallahassee, but please change your message!
* We want this House Bill #1423 to pass, with a couple of minor points.
* The Senate companion Bill # 2536 needs to have draft version 7 of the proposed regulations attached to it.
* The amendments prepared for Representative Troutman for the House Bill should be the same amendments for the Senate Bill
* The implementation of the test sites will be the choice of FWC, and each site will have ample opportunity for public input. That is one of the reasons that the FWC concept allows for the test project to go until 2014. That amount of time will be necessary to allow for public comment and workshops on each site individually.
* The cities and municipalities will be ordered to cease and desist with all these local ordinances, and the bill has some teeth in it to reinforce that requirement
* Status Quo will be maintained elsewhere throughout the State, so no new regulations will be passed at the local level
We have been assured by the managers of the FWC that all the above points are viable. I believe them, and trust them, and I think you should to!
Wayne Marshall, Chairman
SSCA Concerned Cruisers Committee
Florida Open Water Society / Seven Seas Cruising Association Joint Position
Progress is taking shape largely due to boaters contacting Florida Representatives and Senators. Please continue to call and indicate your support for the FOWS / SSCA joint position for 5 mooring field test sites around the state.
Attached below is an update from the SSCA Concerned Cruisers Committee Chairman Wayne Marshall
Re: Urgent, your help needed now to limit anchoring restrictions

Report on Status of Florida Mooring Field Issue
Wayne Marshall, Chairman
SSCA Concerned Cruisers Committee
On Thursday, March 19, 2009, I attended a workshop with Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission employees and other concerned stakeholders. Representatives from Boat US, Natl Marine Manufacturers Association, Florida League of Cities, FL Dept of Environmental Protection, Florida Marine Industries Council and several others. Also in attendance was John Smith, VP of the Florida Open Water Society (FOWS). Several organizations were represented by their lobbyists.
The meeting was to deal with the House Bill # 1423 and the fact the author of the bill, Representative Troutman, recognized the need to clarify and quantify the proposed FWC Mooring Field test sites concept. Present and representing FWC were Lt Col Jim Brown, Lt Col Bruce Buckson, Mayor Paul Ouellette Captain Alan Richards, FWC Legal Counsel and Michael Yaun, FWC Deputy General Counsel.
The short version of the outcome is that we are now comfortable that this matter is proceeding in a manner consistent with the goals and objectives of the SSCA. We must remain vigilant to insure that House Bill # 1423 remains as clean and clear as it will be presented after modification by Rep Troutman. The companion Senate Bill # 2638 is somewhat identical. We have established an excellent basis for a positive and productive working relationship between the SSCA and FOWS. We also recognize the contribution that the FOWS representatives have brought to this fracas.
The FOWS and SSCA organizations are very similar in their perspectives and issues. We have a few minor differences in opinion, but largely agree on all fronts. It is important to realize that all that is on the table with this issue are the proposed Mooring Field test Sites and the implementation of the same. No other regulations or proposals are even on the table, as everything else has been tabled until after the test sites package has run its course. Still up for debate is whether the test sites will end in 2012 or 2014. Also important is that EACH SITE will be implemented independently, with ample opportunity for public comment public workshops and a site specific management plan. There are 7 criteria for the approval of a site and the final approval will rest with the FWC Council.
Also contained within the proposed regulation is language specifically informing cities and municipal governments that they do not have the right to create their own local ordinances affecting anchoring or mooring fields. Further, any such ordinances must be presented to the FWC for public comment and input before the ordinance can be approved. This does not relate to such routine matters as signage to control speed in fuel dock areas or in the proximity of bridges etc. There are sufficient ordnances on the books to provide for those types of needs.
The US District Court ruling in the case of Stuart, Florida that determined that the city Manager, Council members and the individual police officers are each jointly and separately accountable if their actions violate existing Federal or State Law. This ruling has essentially served notice to the various local government entities that they do not have any right to enact their own local ordinances in a vacuum, and that they will be held accountable for their actions. FWC has pledged to enforce these requirements to keep a uniform set of regulations for visitors and residents of Florida.
The next steps are the development of amendments to clarify this House Bill so that Rep. Troutman can modify his bill to make it acceptable. A sub group of the workshop will meet on Monday, March 23rd to develop these recommendations for Rep. Troutman... The SSCA has allowed our role in these matters to be represented by VP Smith of the FOWS. He is already in Tallahassee for an extended timeframe, we are very comfortable that he understands and agrees with our position in the main, and I will be unable to attend the committee meetings on Monday and Tuesday next week...
In addition, there is some minor tweaking to be done to insure that the House and Senate Bills are essentially identical so that passage of the bills can proceed. These are more housekeeping items than anything else. However, we are recommending that all emails and phone calls simply go on record as supporting the FOWS/SSCA position in this matter. Do not stop contacting your Senators and Representatives, just clarify that we are comfortable with the position jointly shared between the SSCA and the Florida Open Water Society. Another sample letter will be posted to the SSCA website a little later today. And, in addition, we will also post the email addressees and phone numbers of the Senate contacts to add to the representatives list that have previously been posted.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further clarification is necessary.

Troutman Concedes 1423 Needs Further Refining
Check in at floridaopenwatersociety.org for how Tallahassee is responding to Boaters insistence that anchoring rights be preserved. Do a few follow-up calls to propose changes - allowance for mooring permits - Harbour Masters in larger anchorages who could (among other things) assist with removal of derelict vessels. Revisions are planned for next Tuesday so get some imput in !

Current Legislative session may allow Municipalities to restrict anchoring legally
I am a member of a new non-profit group - Florida Open Water Society (FOWS). We have volunteers in Tallahassee now proposing amendments to the current proposition - Bill 1423 which would allow municipalities to ban anchoring once they have installed mooring fields (most look as if they would be for-profit). Check out floridaopenwatersociety.org for more information on contacting state representatives. Make your first call to the bill's sponsor - Representative Troutman 850 488 9465. The League of Cities are looking to amend the proposition to remove oversight by FWC (Florida Wildlife Conservation) so don't limit your contact to FWC. Calling as many representatives as possible (phone calls are harder to ignore than emails), will keep the bill from reincarnating as an "amendment" in another committee.

Review Details
- Product Review (submitted on August 3, 2011):
- The ingredients shown in Hghpro have been shown in studies to stimulate growth hormone- L-dopa, gaba- although the gaba is under-dosed in my opinion- the study on pubmed I saw showed 2 grams was needed to raise gh levels 5.5 x's for 30 minutes- not 600 mgs. Green tea is related to gh levels as well ; maybe not the best thing to take before sleep, ive never really had any issues on it though. Love the alpha GPC which is somehow related to growth hormone output and has many other benefits besides gh release. Overall a nice growth hormone releaser. I take it at least 2 months on and usually i take it longer. I do like to take breaks from the stuff though as L-dopa stimulates dopamine production. When i take it I feel like I have better recover, clearer skin, and overall it helps a bit. I am 30 so my growth hormone levels are still really good-; although,the little extra is nice

The Samsung Galaxy S3 has become the most successful Android phone of all time. More than 50 million units have shipped but now it's been supersceded by the Samsung Galaxy S4, one of the most hotly anticipated phones ever. The success of the Galaxy S3 has helped make Samsung the biggest smartphone maker in the world, but it hasn't been without its fair share of controversy.
First was the news that the Galaxy S3 didn't fare too well in drop tests and there are complaints that the build quality is not the best. This was particularly exacerbated by the numerous Galaxy S3 vs iPhone 5 comparisons which split the Android and iOS camps even further apart. The iPhone 5 has superior build quality and styling, but the Galaxy S3 scores highly on features and value for money.
With more than 4,000 user responses the Galaxy S3 generally scores well one ease of use, features, design and value for money but there have been complaints that the battery life could be better. This is despite a Which? report that highlighted the S3 as one of the better performing smartphones in terms of battery life.
Read on to find out exactly what we think of the Galaxy S3 in our Galaxy S3 review or, if you've already decided go to our Galaxy S3 deals page to find the best deals on the market.
Related: iPhone 7
Short attention span? Watch our Galaxy S3 video review:
If you ignore Apple, very few electronic productshave garnered as much attention as the Galaxy S3 in recent years. After the huge success of the Galaxy S2 this is a follow up that many people have expected to again be the flag bearer for Android smartphones. But has Samsung succeeded? Is the Samsung Galaxy S3 the pinnacle of Android smartphones, and indeed of mobile phones in general? Lets find out.
SEE ALSO: Samsung Galaxy S4 VS S5 VS S6: Which is the right upgrade for you?
Anyone that's already familiar with the Galaxy S3 will know that its design and build has courted controversy. Eschewing the premium feeling materials of the iPhone 4S or HTC One X, it uses a glossy plastic back which, although by no means inherently budget, is a finish more associated with cheaper handsets.
Does this make the Galaxy S3 undesirable? No, it certainly doesn't go that far, and indeed if you put it next to the Sony Xperia S it really shows just how much Sony slipped up on that design, but next to an iPhone 4S or HTC One X it's these two that give off the stronger whiff of craftsmanship.
In practical terms there are a few genuine issues with the Galaxy S3 too. While the polycarbonate that the backplate is made from is very tough due to its pliability, it isn't very scratch resistant, even with an extra scratch resistant coating – either the matt finish of the HTC One X of Xperia S, or glass of the iPhone 4S will standup to more punishment. That said, it should be relatively inexpensive to get replacement backs for the Galaxy, and given that it's a single piece that covers the entire back, this will make your phone scratch-free in one fell swoop.
We've lived with the S3 for a few months now and haven't noticed too many scratches on the back, which is impressive considering we haven't been using a case. Indeed, as predicted Samsung's choice of finishes – glossy white (Marble White) and faux brushed metallic blue (Pebble Blue) wear what scratches they do have reasonably well. A new glossy black version is soon to become available too, though, so we'll have to wait and see how that one holds up.
Speaking of the new black Samsung Galaxy S3, we're certainly glad of its arrival because while both the blue and white versions aren't awful by any means, nothing beats good old black.
The other potential issue is that, particularly given the Galaxy S3 is such a large and thin phone, it could succumb to being crushed. Particularly we're thinking in comparison to the iPhone 4S and its tough steel sides here. That phone can take a right squishing and squashing when in a pocket whereas we'd be a little more wary of cracking this phone's screen if crouching down or bending over. Then again, this could equally apply to many other large, thin phones and we pretty sure you'd have to be rather unlucky for it to actually happen. In our few months of use we've not had any issues yet.
Moving on from the Galaxy's plastic back, we have few complaints about the rest of the design. The smooth glass face with its tapered edges, the tidy silver plastic trim (real metal would again have been nice) and single central home button combine to create a tidy, premium look and feel. The screen is also Gorilla Glass 2 so should be very scratch and impact resistant.
That said, in numerous drop test videos we've seen comparing the S3 to arch-rival the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, it's the S3 hasn't fared well, its screen tending to shatter more often.
Pop that battery cover off and you're into a whole world of goodness. There's a microSD slot that'll take cards up to 64GB in size, potentially giving you up to 128GB of storage if you opt for the S3 with 64GB of built in memory. You also get a large 2100mAh battery that not only can you swap out for a spare when needed but also in the future you may be able to replace it and the backplate with extended batteries that last longer on a single charge (not that we've seen any yet, several months after launch). While the SIM slot on the Galaxy may look large it actually houses a microSIM, like the iPhone 4S and HTC One X. One counterpoint to the removable battery is that you can't hot-swap SIM cards like on the One X.
Also under here, to the left of the battery, are two gold contacts. These are for a future wireless charging backplate and dock that will allow you to simply place your Galaxy S3 on its dock to charge it, without the need to plug in. Its technology we first saw built into a phone on the Palm Pre, and we think it's downright brilliant. Sadly the required accessories are still not available.

the subject title says it all...
there are a lack of reviews online and everyone on this forum raves about IH so I'm wondering if the cheaper Oxford House College is a good option in London?
anyone else been there? what was the experience like? are the teachers good?
any other recommendations for part time CELTA courses below 1000 pounds?
thanks for the help.

I came across this and these words speak from my heart.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Today we remember the brave men and women who sacrifice their comfort, who risk their personal safety and those who have given their lives in exchange for our freedom. As we do, we think of how they model the actions of your son, Jesus Christ, who gave His life so that we might have the ultimate freedom. Please cover our service men and women with your mighty hand. Watch over them as they stand in the gap for our protection.
We also remember the families of our troops, and ask for your unique blessings to fill their homes and for your peace, provision and strength to fill their lives.
May each member of the armed forces be filled with courage to face each day and may they trust in your mighty power to accomplish each task. Let our military brothers and sisters feel our love and support wherever they are today.
May God bless America, our troops and let us never forget those who will be missed because of their sacrifice for us all. To those that have served and are still with us today...... Thank you for your service!!!!
