I need to vent a little on a trade I made(long post)
First and for most, I know its my fault for not looking closer and taking this guys word.
I recently traded my Dodge stratus for a dodge ram 4x4 with a member on here, between emails and texts I explained that my car needed two frt tires and it has a small leak some where in the brakes because it would loose brake fluid over a period of 30 days or so. I included all new rear brakes wheel cylinders and hardware, I have never done rear brakes So I threw in the parts.
I also explained it might need a tie rod because the way the tires were wearing un-even in the frt, but other then that the car drove perfect. I am 100% honest when I make a deal so there is no surprises.
Well the other guy tells me that the truck needs a starter and a possible power steering pump because its leaking.
Well I really wanted this truck because as my dad was dying from cancer when they were coming out with the ram 1500 and he wanted to get one but he lost the fight, and My friends dad got a hold of one before they were released and drove this exact color and style in my dads funeral (sept 93)
So I tell the guy I am interested and I drive to his house after he refused to meet half way??
So I get there and the truck was running and all looked good from what I saw and it was what the pictures showed.
He tells me he "found" the power steering leak, there was a hole in the hose and it was spitting fluid out as fast as you put it in.
Well because I really wanted this truck, I said ok I will make the trade, so I traded Him my car, a like new leatherman, a Brand New Buck folding hunting knife, a Car gps Unit and $50 cash. I did this because I felt since the tire needed to be replaced it would be fair.
I pull out of the drive way after he left in my car and I man handled the steering since there was no p/s. No big deal.
Well as I am driving down this long dirt raod, it runs drives shifts and I'm like great I got the truck I have always wanted.
I go to stop at the stop light and NO BRAKES, I had to push the pedal with both feet before it stopped(barely) I called him and he said the brakes worked last time he drove it?
Fast forward a few weeks, since I had to take my time looking it over and working on it because of my back and knee injury I move a little slower then most.
I replace the the power steering hose, and its working fine, well I look into the brakes and I end up having to replace frt calipers, (right side was seized), one of the metal lines going to the right frt and the rubber line in the right frt.
Well since it didn't have power steering, i didn't notice until I got under there, that the ball joints are shot, all the tie rods are shot, the left side u-joint was about to fall out. So I know buyer beware, but there is no way the trader didnt know about this.
I have called a few times, emailed and texted, and he swears that he didnt know all this was wrong.
So I proposed that he give me all the stuff back and the $50 cash, so I can sell the stuff and use the money for the parts and I would be happy.
Well He said that he wasn't aware of anything wrong with the truck and haven't heard a word since.
I know you win some you loose some one, but I just want people to know that you cant trust people like you think you can. I have had so many great transactions with people from here and met a lot of great people, so I felt I could take his word, well I was wrong.
Sorry for the long post but it has been eating inside me for awhile, and since I am all jacked up with injuries and the wife in school full time I have to get parts here and there, so I wont be driving it anytime soon, and that's the part the pisses me off, he could have just been up frt and honest.

You had a chance to look it over. You made the trade. Somebody always is on the loosing end of a deal. The trick is making sure it isn't you. You failed.

I agree, its why I hate selling anything. Everything we all sell here is as-is. I always try my best to list accurately, but what if its a vehicle that sat for 6 months, and something rusted or stuck or whatever in that 6 months. I have that happen with linkages, brakes, wheel bearing, etc, all too often. Like bruce said, sometimes you don't know. An engine could run decently, but have some major wear, or an axle could have a bad u joint, twisted splines, broken tooth, bearing wear, contaminated fluid, but if its not opened, you'd never know.

sometimes when buying/trading like that you can get the short end of the stick even on here and end up eating a shit sandwich.
Bought a truck off here a month or so ago, trans pan was leaking i figured no big deal, shifted smooth when i test drove down the street, but on the way home(3 hr drive and he wouldnt meet me half way eather) the TC started to shudder going up hills pretty bad, but at the time I couldnt figure out what was going on or why it was shaking. Called the guy a few days later and he says it never did it when he had it and "good luck". Got home and drained the pan a few weeks later after trying a few diffrent things and there was a ton of metal shavings in the trans filter. That was my worst fear when buying this truck was that I was gunna have to put a trans in it right away after buying and it happened in less than 1000 miles. Sure Im still sour about having to drop another almost 2 grand into my new to me truck(already replaced wheel hubs and alternator) but really I cant be too mad cause I signed and bought the truck AS-IS and knew the risks involved and proceeded anyways and now I got the short end of the stick. Nothing to do other than eat my sandwich and smile. Never again I can tell you will i trust someones word.. If someone wants 5 grand or more from me Im gunna put some miles on it before hand to know what im buying or no sale.
When buying a dodge, front end parts and transmissions are usally the problem areas so that should have been the first thing you looked at or checked... not that im saying he didnt take you for a ride on this but you have to go though them with a fine tooth comb and make a decision and stick with it.

nobody in their right mind would want a dodge stratus in the first place, you got the truck that you wanted and it needs TYPICAL repair. EVERY truck usually needs those things replaced at one point or another. I gurantee your track bar is shot too. Fix them in order of safety concern and before too long you will be a happy camper.

I don't have a issue with parts needing to be replaced and maintenance needing to be done, as I expected that. I just get pissed because he "sold" me on the truck on how well it ran and there was no issues other then the "starter" which was a loose ground wire and the p/s line. He told me he stopped driving it because of gas prices and he wanted to get a car for his daughter.
You have to expect that there are going to be underlying issues but dam the whole frt end, i just find that hard to believe that he didn't know anything about it and with the power steering not working there really was no way to tell.
Again i know its my fault for not looking into it closer, but I am just trying to let people know learn from me and don't take peoples word.

They are both used pile of shits. Quit being a whiny little bitch you failed to look over the truck. There for its all on you I feel he owes you nada. Man up fix the truck or sell it and don't publicly whine about your bad choices.

100 songs that changed history
Time Out explores the music that changed the course of world events
Breakdown of the songs that changed history
If England had been generally viewed as a nation of forelock-tugging, Union flag-waving royalists, then sneering Johnny Rotten and his determinedly ill-behaved Pistols changed all that in the politically malcontent summer of 1977, during the Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations.
The Pistols' infamous boat launch on the Thames saw them belting out their number-two single (they were pipped at the post by Rod Stewart) as they chugged past the Houses of Parliament. Over a backdrop of ramalama punk, they rowdily declared the monarchy to be a 'fascist regime' and – with a little help from Jamie Reid's insurrectionary graphics – made anti-royal sentiment both incredibly popular and very fashionable. One was presumably not amused.

Rimlock is where the rounds get jammed in a magazine.
It happens with semi-rimmed cartridges like the .32 ACP or with fully-rimmed ones like the .357 Magnum (ala the Coonan pistol).
If the overall cartridge length is short enough, the round below the top one in the magazine can move forward. Then, the rim of the top round can slip behind the rim of the lower round, locking it in the magazine.
Can't happen with rimless or rebated rim cases like the 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 Sig and .45 ACP.

POUGHKEEPSIE N.Y. – Drew Nesmith (Montclair, N.J.) scored the game-winner 31 seconds into overtime, ripping a low-to-low shot from straight on, to lift the Marist men's lacrosse team to an emotional 10-9 victory over Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) rival Siena on Saturday afternoon before a raucous crowd at Tenney Stadium. The win gave Marist at least a share of the MAAC Regular Season Championship, its first since 2004, and the top seed at next month's MAAC Tournament. The Red Foxes were also celebrating Senior Day on Saturday as 14 seniors were honored in a pregame ceremony.
Nesmith finished with two goals on the day, joining senior Jack Doherty (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) and Joseph Radin (Long Beach, N.Y.), who was wearing the symbolic #34 jersey on Saturday, who also found the back of the net twice. Senior Jim Marks (Camillus, N.Y.) scored a team-high three goals and senior Connor Rice (Penfield, N.Y.) had two assists. Matt Dugan (Cortland, N.Y.) went 11-21 in face-offs and collected a team-high eight ground balls. Patrick Eaker (Redding, Conn.) caused four turnovers and collected four ground balls and Dave Scarcello (Buffalo, N.Y.) made 10 saves in goal.
Marist (9-2, 5-0 MAAC) got on the board first with a pair of goals in a 1:45 span in the first quarter. Mike Begley (Brookeville, Md.) opened the scored with an unassisted tally at the 9:31 mark and Doherty followed with his first score with 7:45 left on the clock.
Siena (5-8, 3-2 MAAC) got one back with a goal with 4:27 left, but Radin scored with 32 seconds left in the opening period, finding the back of the net on an assist from Rice to give the Red Foxes a 3-1 after the first quarter.
The Saints scored the first four goals of the second quarter to take a 5-3 lead as Siena goalie Tommy Cordts made five saves in the period.
Marks however scored twice in the final minutes of the second quarter to pull Marist back into a tie at halftime. He scored unassisted at the 3:02 mark and then, after Scarcello made a save with 19 seconds left before the end of the quarter, Gannon Osborn (Canandaigua, N.Y.) cleared the ball down the field and found Marks who buried his shot with just three seconds left to even the score at 5-5.
Marks completed his hat trick, scoring his third consecutive goals just 32 seconds into the third quarter to put Marist back ahead at 6-5.
That lead would hold for over seven minutes until Siena tied the score with 7:24 on the clock.
Doherty gave the lead back to the Red Foxes with his second unassisted goal of the game at the 4:58 mark.
Just 42 seconds after the Saints tied things up again, Rice, while running away from the goal, threaded pass through several Siena defenders to a wide open Radin in front of the crease for his second goal of the game to put Marist up 8-7 going into the fourth quarter.
Siena tied the score again at the 12:29 mark, but Nesmith put the Red Foxes back in fron with his first score with 10:15 left in regulation. Siena scored at 8:54 to bring the game into its sixth tie.
Scarcello made by far his biggest stop of the game, making a kick save on a point-blank shot with just three seconds left in the fourth quarter to preserve the tie and send it into overtime.
Dugan cleanly won his 11th draw of the game to open the overtime period, gaining possession for the Red Foxes and setting up Nesmith's heroics.
Marist closes out the regular season with a pair of road games next week. The Red Foxes will step out of MAAC play when they travel to St. Joseph's on Tuesday for a 7 p.m. game. They will then play at Manhattan on Saturday as they look to complete an undefeated MAAC season. The MAAC Championships will take place May 5-7 in Buffalo, N.Y., on Canisius' home field.

CARCHARODON MEGALODON - The largest carnivorous fish known to have existed. Through jaw reconstruction, it is believed that this giant shark, possibly related to the Great White Shark, grew to an estimated 18 meters in length. 3 Times the length and with jaws 4 times the size of a great White's, it preyed on creatures such as whales and dolphins in virtually all the oceans across the world. By modern standards, it would have been able to easily swallow a mid-sized family car whole!
Like all sharks, it had a skeleton of cartilage which did not preserve well as fossil records, hence the fascination with this ancient monster's teeth. By using the Great White as model and the Megalodon's teeth as starting point, scientists were able to determine what it looked like and how it lived 18 million years ago.
Today Megalodon teeth fossils are highly prized by collectors and investors alike, with the largest and highest grades reaching thousands of dollars each. Colours and grades vary greatly by area, ranging from pitch black to a creamy white. The largest specimen ever found measured a massive 18 cm on the diagonal slant!
Many people are starting to realize the investment value in Megalodon teeth. There are only a limited number out there and often hazardous conditions have to be endured to salvage them from freezing rivers with strong currents and zero visibility.

Farmed rainbow trout
Recipes: 10 ways with farmed rainbow trout
Taste Very mild and slightly earthy, with small, moist, delicate flakes.
Source Mostly from farms along Idaho's crystalline, fast-moving Snake River.
Eco factor Because trout farms recycle all waste, and filter and treat outgoing water, they don't pollute. Trout do eat other fish, but they efficiently convert what they eat, minimizing the numbers that are sacrificed to feed them (salmon are voracious fish-eaters by comparison).
How to choose Rainbow trout are generally sold fresh and whole, either bone-in or boned and butterflied. Look for fish with moist flesh, shiny skin and eyes, and a fresh, mild aroma. Many markets also sell smoked rainbow trout fillets.

Not sure it fits the OP's criteria, tho. Certainly an attractive boat, coastal w/ offshore ability, and available at bargain prices. But it is a small 30'er, very small. 5'10" headroom, teensy head, cramped berths, and little light or ventilation. It ain't a Hunter. And as for freeboard ... not a feature. It belongs to the 'submarine with sails' design philosophy:
Upwind monster; you will get wet. Ballads came with Volvo Pentas, not a beloved powerplant. The Ranger 33, BTW, generally had the A4. Some have been repowered. These will cost more.
Hard to go too wrong with a Catalina 30, either. They are roomy and well-behaved. J/boats made a few in this range, and Islander.

Re: Help me find a boat for next year
Cal came in 29 and 31 I think, not a 30.
I don't love the Cal. They are good, but I think there are better boats out there.
Yes, the $4000 boat was a Yankee 30. It turned into an auction from what I saw on CL. Not sure what it finally went for. Yankee 30 doesn't look that special when you see one, it's just a very nice sailing boat that is well built and that you can get for a reasonable price.
Re: Help me find a boat for next year
Ok. Both sound like good choices. Now that I think about I did tour but not sail a Yankee 30 that was across from me this summer on Stuart. He had come up from portland and had raced the swiftsure some years but not this one. It looked really good.
Also do you remember when I was last boat shopping there was one for $4000 in Seattle that the lady was having an open house Saturday. I never was willing to bet it was a steal enough to come look.
Other names I am coming across are Bristol, and southern cross. But southern cross are probably too expensive. Also there's the cal 30. Everyone loves cal.

Re: Help me find a boat for next year
I wouldn't take it around Cape Horn. I don't know what my limit is yet, except that I haven't found it. In 20-25 knot winds and 4-6 foot wind waves it's a lot of fun to sail close hauled and close reach.
My boat isn't provisioned to fly reduced enough sail to point well in winds 30 knots or higher. My only option is to reef the main and run on main only. The boat sails pretty well on main only, but won't point higher than 40 degrees apparent. With a second reef and a heavy weather jib I'd feel comfortable taking it around the west coast of Vancouver Island where I can time weather somewhat, but need to prepared for bigger conditions. The same would be true for a run to the Bahamas.
It doesn't have the tankage (25 gallons water is the main limitation) for me to consider doing something like sailing to Hawaii in it. It is certainly a more robust boat than many of that have done that voyage though.
In my experience the Yankee 30 is more fun to sail is big conditions than the Pearson 28-2. It's heavy displacement (2000lbs + heavier) and less flat bottom and skeg makes it get blown around less when running downwind. When the conditions get big enough the flatter bottom after of the keel will get the Pearson surfing (exciting and fast, but requires a lot of attention) where I think it would take truly massive conditions to get the Yankee surfing. I've had the Pearson surfing to 9 knots in 3-4' waves and 20 knots of wind.
The Pearson has a larger interior than the Yankee, but both are more than enough for one or two people. On the Pearson we use the V-berth for sail storage and sleep in the "aft cabin" (really a very large quarterberth). On the Yankee you'd use cockpit lockers for sail storage and sleep in the V-berth or maybe the lowered dinette (but converting that every day would get old).
Both of them have better than average engine access, but the Yankee is a little better. It is in the center of the boat and the cabinets on pretty much all sides come off, giving you nearly 360 degree access. On the Pearson the cabinets on front, top, and behind come off, but you have more limited access to the sides.
The Yankee came with an awful set of original engines (Atomic 4 or underpowered and rare diesels), but many of them have been repowered. I have two friends with Yankee 30s, one has no engine at all, the other has a Beta 2 cylinder. Another one that was for sale here had an Atomic 4. Pearson came stock with 2GM20F.
The Yankee's achillies heel is that the decks are built with core all the way to the hull deck joint. You need to check carefully for core issues. The right fix is annoying but already done on many of them, which is to dig out the core along the edge and replace it with glass. I don't know if the similar Tartan 30 (same designer, almost same design, different builder) has the same issue or other details of how it is built (like what the chainplates are attached to). I've been impressed with the construction details and design of my Pearson. The bedding compound used has been durable, they beveled all deck holes which makes the bedding last a lot longer, the hull/deck joint is really easy to service, chainplates are inboard but go right into the hull, rigging seems oversized.
They are very different boats, but both are good boats. I'd recommend sailing or checking out both of them if you have the chance.
Re: Help me find a boat for next year
Thanks for the less common mentions.
Speaking of pearson's. what limitations do you think your boat has, is there any weather you wouldn't want to be any?
Re: Help me find a boat for next year
Thanks! No the $5000 was for last boat. This next one I'm hoping around $15000
|Alex W
Re: Help me find a boat for next year
Yankee 30
Tartan 30
Both of these are very similar boats. They sail really well and are built very well. Yankee 30s are mostly on the west coast, I don't know where you'll be shopping. They have a huge B/D and are very stiff boats in a breeze, but move pretty well in light air. A couple of my friends have them and they are lots of fun to sail. Yankee 30 has chainplates going to fiberglass knees, which is a huge plus in my book.

There is a nice one of these with a repower that has been for sale on my dock for a long time. You could probably get it for a song at this point. Smallish interior, strongly built, no liner which is good in a lot of ways.
Pearson 28-2
Pearson 31-2
Huge freeboard comes with that clean spacious interior much of the time. If you are looking on the east coast I'd say that it is worth looking out for a mid-80s Pearson 31-2. I have the 28-2 and am impressed with the construction quality and how it sails. It's a bit freeboardish, but the 31-2 (which is 30.5 vs 28.5 feet) should diminish that a little bit. The cockpit on my 28-2 is ergonomic and great for singlehanding, I love the interior space, and the boat sails very nicely balanced in a variety of conditions. 28-2 has chainplates going to fiberglass knees, I haven't looked at how this is done on the 31-2. Both of these came with the Yanmar 2GM20F, which is a robust little engine.
There are lots of other great options to consider like C&C 29, 30, 32, Islander 30 and 32, Cal 31, Erickson, etc. I just wanted to mention a few that are perhaps less common.

For $5,ooo how are you at fiberglass work? A spongy deck or a dead engine eats up the price on a 30 footer. Can you spend all winter working 16 + hrs a week on a boat?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Exactly... I did not word it correctly in my OP, it wasn't about the potentially $350-400 skin/coat issue that could potentially be a much more serious underlying medical issue. I was peeved that she refused all vet care at all, and was complaining about a $300 after hours emergency vet visit she had to do with a different dog 4 years ago that it took her a couple months to pay off. Most after hours emergency vet visits where I am run quickly into a thousand dollars or more.
So... she's gotten lucky and has done the right things for her dog so far, and I do applaud her on that. But there does come a time where it's not quite enough. And either she'll have to do the "cheap" way of putting the dog down herself, or go with the "costly" way of taking the dog to a vet for treatment. She said she plans on taking the dog to the vet... but only if it's not going to cost much money, because it's not in the budget.
I dunno... maybe I'm just an elitist brat. I'll own up to that if that's what this is. There's love an attention, but at the same time, if someone takes a living creature into their home, they need to be able to care for that animal. And if an animal needs medical attention or a bullet, that needs to be done, and if you can't afford that or own up to doing it yourself by doing what is best not just for you, but for the animal at hand (for example, if your dog gets a major cut and it needs to be sutured closed, you can't just sew it up using cotton thread, it needs to be properly sterilized and sutured in a way that will not cause more damage), either do the ****ty thing and dump the animal on a shelter for them to deal with, or don't have it to begin with.

I would be driving to my vet's home. And, yes, I know where she lives.
I would be on the phone to my family and having them give CC numbers over the phone.
I would have tried something. It is possible that the dog would have died anyway. It is possible that they could have gone in and not been able to save the dog.
It is just awful. A spay is a typical surgery and elective, that you wouldn't ever expect that you would need an emergency number. But any time they cut on a dog, there can be complications.
It is just sad all around.
I can afford basic vet care but in an unforseen emergency (when its starts getting in the $1000s) I simply can't afford it. But luckily I have a very supporting family that would and has stepped up to help in the case of an emergency. There was one emergency that left me absolutely hysterical and I called my grandmother not knowing what to do. She was at the vet waiting before I even got there. By myself, I probably shouldn't own a dog because if something catastrophic were to happen I would be helpless to save my dog but luckily (and I thank God everyday!) I don't know what it is to be alone without support. But my family knows what my dogs mean to me (After I lost my ABPT when I was extremely young, my christmas list consisted of one thing every year, A DOG!!!! No toys, no clothes, no new "technology", nothing but a dog. I can't live my life without one! And I will spend every last penny I have on them).
But then I think of all the dogs waiting to be adopted or euthanized in shelters and I think of how much joy they can have if adopted even by someone who doesn't have the financial capabilities to afford vet bills in a true emergency. They will have food, shelter, and most importantly love for however long their journey is destined to last on earth.
I never, ever would have left my dog if she was bleeding out. I'd be selling my soul or my firstborn!
Truthfully, the person this happened to, in hindsight, knew she didn't do her research when she picked the vet to do the procedure. Also admitted having an emergency fund is so very important. It is sad that her dog had to pay the price.
that's a horror story.
they probably were already drained from the spay.
Not everyone has $1700 available on hand like that. How sad.
Also, it's not a matter of having lots of money, but like was said, be smart. With or without credit. To know what to do in a worst case scenario and what you can/can't afford and do what is best for your animals in your situation. What is best for one person isn't necessarily best for someone else... But the dog should not be left in pain bc someone "can't afford" proper care. THAT is what is my pet peeve, not someone who can't shell out $500 on testing bc of a dull coat. ;$

This tragedy happened last weekend in my city. It could have possibly been prevented with an emergency fund. But the vets were clearly negligent and failed the dog not once but twice.

Not sure I would fork out $350-$400 either given that the chances that the bloodwork would be absolutely normal would be very high.....they won't tell her why the dog has a dull coat.
Waste of money in my opinion.....she would be better off looking at some supplements.
And this dog had more than just a dull coat. If on any diet but raw she would be covered in oozing sores and losing hair all over the place, for four months of this, and according to this person, this dog has never been to a vet, and never will if she could help it.
So, it's not really about the bloodwork, bc if she can manage it with a raw diet and extra fat, then I'm happy for her.... But it's that she would never go to a vet and says $35 for shots and checkup is a ridiculous price to pay.

I don't have a credit card, and I will NEVER have a credit card. Not for anything.
You don't have to have gobs of money to be able to own a pet. You just have to be smart, attentive and and good at money budgeting.
Currently we are broke, we aren't so broke I can't buy food for us or the pets, but I couldn't shell out a 500 dollar vet bill right now. At least not all at once.
That's why I made it a point to find a vet that would take payments and night time calls for emergencies.
Not to mention, for some things, if you have the know how you can do some things at home.

« more RISD stories
Author and illustrator Brian Selznick 88 IL continues to push the boundaries of hybrid storytelling.
The minute his extraordinary kids' novel The
Invention of Hugo Cabret hit bookstores in 2007, Brian Selznick 88 IL was on his way to winning the hearts and minds of young readers around the world. The 530-page
book unfolds like a silent movie, with entire chapters told in mesmerizing
pencil drawings. With its cinematic feel and
magical take on historical fiction, Hugo
Cabret set the literary world on fire, winning the 2008 Caldecott Medal. In November a
feature film adaptation directed by Martin Scorsese – with award-winning cinematographer Robert Richardson 79 FAV behind the camera – is due to hit the big screen.
Now, in a new
book out this month, Selznick is pushing the boundaries of his hybrid storytelling
style even further. The book is called Wonderstruck, and in it he creates one work of
fiction by weaving together two completely separate narratives – one told entirely in
pictures, the other told entirely in words.
"I wanted to take what I
had learned from Hugo and make something new with it; I wanted to do something
better," says Selznick, who spent three years bringing Wonderstruck's parallel stories to life. At 639
pages, it's another massive work, moving between two 12-year-old runaways who are both deaf – one
a girl in 1927 who goes in search of a famous movie actress, the other a boy in
1977, looking for the father he's never met. Separated by 50 years, the
protagonists' journeys converge at one of the most magical real-life
destinations for children: the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan.
Just weeks after its release, the book is
generating a level of buzz that's rare for a children's book. The Wall Street
Journal, USA Today, The
Atlantic, Huffington Post and NPR,
among others, are all applauding Selznick's latest effort. The Washington
Post called Wonderstruck "superb," saying that "Brian
Selznick proves to be that rare creator capable of following one masterpiece .
. . with another even more brilliantly executed." Publishers Weekly, which gave the book a starred review, said Wonderstruck "should
cement [Selznick's] reputation as one of the most innovative storytellers at
work today."
The inspirations for
Wonderstruck were wide-ranging, from E.L. Konigsburg's 1967 classic From
the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, which chronicles two siblings who run away to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, to Hiroshima
Maiden, a complex,
split-narrative puppet show by acclaimed puppeteer Dan Hurlin, a friend of
Selznick's. But the biggest influence by far was Through Deaf Eyes, a PBS television
documentary on deafness and the evolution of deaf culture that he
happened to see while still working on Hugo
"One of the things that
struck me so much was the profound impact that sound in the movies had for deaf
people," Selznick says. "Before, they could be part of popular culture, but
once sound was introduced, it was a huge blow to that community. They were
completely shut out." The pictures-only story of Selznick's young female
protagonist, Rose, takes place in 1927, the year Hollywood released the first
commercial feature-length motion picture, The
Jazz Singer.
"With Wonderstruck," says Selznick, "we experience Rose's story in a way
that reflects the way she experiences life." At the same time, he says, the
journeys of Rose and the novel's other protagonist, reflects the search for
acceptance that defines coming-of-age for the deaf. "It's something that fascinates
me and rings true in so many ways, whether you're growing up as an artist or a
gay person or whatever," says Selznick. "That idea of searching for a culture
or a community outside your biological one seemed like a really resonant idea."

The Canisius volleyball team fell in five sets to Siena College in the Koessler Athletic Center on Sunday afternoon. The Saints won 20-25, 25-18, 18-25, 25-22, 15-9 as the Golden Griffins see their record fall to 2-2 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Sophomore Lauren Siebert had a team-high 10 kills and seven blocks as Canisius totaled 16 team blocks on the day. Senior Emily Elek had nine kills and eight blocks while senior Roxanne Hernandez had six blocks.
"Siena and specifically Taylor Akana, stepped up late in that match, and they showed why they are the best in the league," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "They out-executed us down the stretch but we had some opportunities to not let it get to that point.
"Our effort and performance definitely improved from Saturday, but the result wasn't the same. We have to regroup for Wednesday when we get Niagara in our gym."
In the first set, the Griffs used a five-point spurt to go up 17-10 after a service ace from senior Jessica Warner. The Saints would get within three on a number of occasions, but a kill from Siebert followed by a service ace from the middle hitter gave Canisius the first set.
After Siena won the second set, the Griffs came back and won the third set. A 9-2 run, capped by a block from Siebert and fellow sophomore Grace Streicher, to go up 17-8. The Saints never challenged the rest of the set as a kill from sophomore Rachel Kline closed out the set.
Siena (6-9, 5-0 MAAC) built a 21-13 lead in the fourth set before Canisius came storming back. The Griffs won six straight points, capped by a kill from freshman Katlyn Tyler, to make it 21-19. The Griffs would eventually tie the score at 22-22 on a kill from Elek, but the Saints took the last three points to force a fifth set.
The Griffs controlled the first half of the fifth set, going up 8-6 after a Siena service error. After the changeover, the Saints won eight straight points, including seven straight on the serve of Taylor Akana, to go up 14-8 and eventually take the match.
Akana had a match-high 20 kills while Meghann Wright had 18 kills. Haley Howell posted 49 assists while Bobbi Lin Kalama had 27 digs.
Canisius (4-11, 2-2 MAAC) continues its five-match homestand against Niagara on Wednesday, with match time in the KAC set for 6 p.m.
Notes: Junior Emily Litwin posted double-digit digs (13) for the 14th time this season and for the 12th straight match… In the last six matches, Siebert is averaging 2.70 kills and 0.83 blocks per set while hitting .387… Elek matched her career high with the eight blocks (Oct. 14, 2012 vs. Iona)… Hernandez now has 34 blocks in the last six matches… The 16 blocks for the Griffs are a season high.

The IPCC sea level numbers
Sea level rise as observed (from Church and White 2006) shown in red up to the year 2001, together with the IPCC (2001) scenarios for 1990-2100. See second figure below for a zoom into the period of overlap.
The TAR showed sea level rise curves for a range of emission scenarios (shown in the Figure above together with the new observational record of Church and White 2006). The range was based on simulations with a simple model (the MAGICC model) tuned to mimic the behaviour of a range of different complex climate models (e.g. in terms of different climate sensitivities ranging from 1.7 to 4.2 ºC), combined with simple equations for the glacier and ice sheet mass balances ("degree-days scheme"). This model-based range is shown as the grey band (labelled "Several models all SRES envelope" in the original Figure 5 of the TAR SPM) and ranged from 21 to 70 cm, while the central estimate for each emission scenario is shown as a coloured dashed line. The largest central estimate of sea level rise is for the A1FI scenario (purple, 49 cm).
In addition, the dashed grey lines indicate additional uncertainty in ice sheet behaviour. These lines were labelled "All SRES envelope including land ice uncertainty" in the TAR SPM and extended the range up to 88 cm, adding 18 cm at the top end. One has to delve deeply into the appendix of Chapter 11 of the TAR to find out what these extra 18 cm entail: they include a "mass balance uncertainty" and an "ice dynamic uncertainty", where the latter is simply assumed to be 10% of the total computed mass loss of the Greenland ice sheet. Note that such an ice dynamic uncertainty was only included for Greenland but not for Antarctica; instability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, a scenario considered "very unlikely" in the TAR, was explicitly not included in the upper limit of 88 cm.
As we mentioned in our post on the release of the SPM, it is apples and oranges to say that IPCC reduced the upper sea level limit from 88 cm to 59 cm, as the former included "ice dynamic uncertainty" (albeit only for Greenland, as rapid ice flow changes in Antarctica were considered too unlikely to bother at the time), while the latter discusses this ice flow uncertainty separately in the text, stating it could add 10 cm, 20 cm or even more to the 59 cm in the table.
So is it better to compare the model-based range 21 – 70 cm from the TAR to the 18 – 59 cm from the AR4? Even that is apples and oranges. For one, TAR cites the rise up to the year 2100, the AR4 up to the period 2090-2099, thus missing the last 5 years (or 5.5 years, but let's not get too pedantic) of sea level rise. For 2095, the TAR projection reduces from 70 cm to 65 cm (the central estimate for A1FI reduces from 49 cm to 46 cm). Also, the TAR range is a 95% confidence interval, the AR4 range a narrower 90% confidence interval. Giving the TAR numbers also as 90% ranges shaves another 3 cm off the top end.
Sounds complicated? There are some more technical differences… but I will spare you those. The Paris IPCC meeting actually discussed the request from some delegates to provide a direct comparison of the AR4 and TAR numbers, but declined to do this in detail for being too complicated. The result was the two statements:
The TAR would have had similar ranges to those in Table SPM-3 if it had treated the uncertainties in the same way.
For each scenario, the midpoint of the range in Table SPM-3 is within 10% of the TAR model average for 2090-2099.
(In fact delegates were told by the IPCC authors in Paris that with the new AR4 models, the central estimate for each scenario is slightly higher that with the old models, if numbers are reported in a comparable manner.)
The bottom line is thus that the methods have significantly improved (which is the reason behind all those methodological changes), but the expectation of how much sea level will rise in the coming century has not significantly changed. The biggest change is that ice sheet dynamics look more uncertain now than at the time of the TAR, which is why this uncertainty is not included any more in the cited range but discussed separately in the text.
Critique – Could these numbers underestimate future sea level rise?
There's a number of issues worth discussing about these sea level numbers.

'Miller's opinion differs because he got a rare glimpse at Connolly from inside the rink, a view that should be weighed accordingly. Above all things a goaltender's vision matters most, and Miller's take on Connolly is important not because it differs from other views but why.'
Archives for July 2011
Miller's words on Connolly are telling
Sabres agree to deals with Persson, Turnbull
'Persson, the Sabres first-round pick in the 2006 draft, has spent the past two seasons in the minors. He has five goals and 21 assists for 26 points in 132 career games in the American Hockey League. Persson was called up to Buffalo three times last season, but did not play a game for the Sabres.'
Sabres re-sign Persson and Turnbull
'Buffalo Sabres GM Darcy Regier announced today that defenseman Dennis Persson and forward Travis Turnbull have each agreed to a one-year contract.'
Cullen chases a dream
'"It is great — it has been a lifelong dream of mine to play for the Sabres," said Cullen, who speaks as much like a fan as he does an actual player, even when in uniform.'
Former teammate defends Tim Connolly
'"I think some people in the media [in Buffalo] felt like he owed them explanations beyond what he cared to share, and it just became a little bit of a vendetta. From my perspective, the only thing Tim doesn't care about is what the talking heads think about him. He cares about hockey fans, he cares about winning and he cares about his teammates. In my book, that's all that matters."'
Buffalo Sabres 2011 draft review
'All in all the Sabres came away feeling much better about their center depth and they were able to take some risks that they wouldn't have with past ownership regimes.'
Center spot in good hands with Roy
'After a poor playoff in 2010, Roy came back as a better-conditioned, more mature player. Let's see if he can build on that next season. He still has something to prove. But it seems to me that Leino, not Roy, has more to prove as a No. 1 center in the NHL.'
Jeanneret slated for 57 games
'Jeanneret will call 39 home games and 18 road games along with analysts Harry Neale and Rob Ray. Sylvester and Gare will do the Feb. 24 home game against Boston and 22 road games. The games will continue to be a simulcast on MSG and WGR Radio. No determination has been made about local broadcasts of the two season-opening games in Europe, likely to be telecast by Versus.'
Beyers scores points with Sabres brass
'"The mindset is, you just have to relax and go out there and have fun," Beyers said. "It is a development camp, you are an invitee, so there is not a whole lot of pressure because they are not expecting a lot. But you want to go out there for yourself. I definitely want to do that."'
With Tim Connolly, there's always a but…
'In Buffalo, the last six seasons, Connolly has been both in and out, up and down, often out of favour. There are all kinds of negative numbers. He has missed 36% of all Sabres games post-lockout — and that coming after he missed the entire 2003-04 season with post concussion syndrome. His personal injury list includes concussions, bone spurs, cracked vertebrae, broken ribs: He has played 302 NHL games, missed 252 with various hurts. And as for his post-season game, he has not scored a goal in his last 29 Stanley Cups games. Despite having what Milbury describes as "ridiculous talent" he has only had two seasons with more than 50 points scored. He has never scored 20 goals in an NHL season despite having "one helluva shot."'
Slice of home for Lepkowski
"The strength and conditioning people. I got so many tools now. I feel so much more confident stepping into Barrie next year with the progress I made this year and this week."'
Amerks President Ted Black starts his first day on the job in Rochester
'Long run, we want to be best in class. Our goal is very about building a winning organization, and they do it according to the three very simple rules: 1) Treat people very well. Treat people the way you want to be treated. 2) Work hard. Terry will say, 'Work your butt off.' 3) Love what you do. Using those three Pegula principles, we want to win championships at both levels. Those two goals are comprised of a million little things, so we're going to start by doing a million little things. No undertaking is too small to get us there.'
Wudrick looks for a second chance
'Wudrick attended the Phoenix Coyotes' rookie camp last summer and despite failure to sign a contract with the Kings or Coyotes, Wudrick hopes he made an impression on Sabres brass last week. "Not being able to sign a contract with L.A. and playing another year in junior, this is a good opportunity to come here," he said. "My goal is, in this camp, to get a contract and to be part of the Sabres organization."'
Buffalo Sabres plan to keep Jody Gage
'"I don't want it to be a figurehead role," Black said. "I want him to have meaningful input on strategy."'
Lepkowski has week of his hockey life
'"There's so much I learned as far as footwork, defensive skills, positioning," he said. "I've got all the coaches numbers, the strength and conditioning people. I got so many tools now. I'll be working out in Buffalo the rest of the summer. I feel so much more confident stepping into Barrie next year with the progress I made this year and this week."'

Really nice work. Always loved this helmet. Great build thread, too!
Very nice
That is a really good build!
I really like the paintjob as well. It's so hard for me to build from cardboard, but yours is perfect.
thanks , it was my first time building in cardboard (and i dont like it lol) ,it turned not to bad
Great costume
well it was my first time trying cardboard ,and I wish I knew wen you put resin on it shift/shrink a bit.. so if you do one brace it good inside so it wont move ,resin outside (like 3 thin coats) then remove brace and do inside , and you should be find , I didn brace so it shifted a little on me (hole for head) not that much but kinda suck a little here a pic at fist con with my raco

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Jenna, Sep 2, 2010.
Most shocking news of the offseason
Update from Phil Hersh:
Not very surprising news, but thanks for posting.
I'm not surprised. I also think he won't come back.
So very Sasha Cohen of him.
The official USFS press release is now published online: 2010 Olympic Champion Evan Lysacek Not Competing for Remainder of 2010
Guess he registered by the Sept. 1st USFS qualifying season deadline.
I definitely don't expect to see Evan competing at 2011 Nationals, and would be very surprised to ever see him compete again at all.
Totally not shocked. I would have been really surprised to see him compete this year. Not that he had GPs; it would have just been Nationals/Worlds.
Wise decision. Though I doubt we'll see him back, I would not rule out the possibility. Evan seems to be the type who enjoys rigorous routine and structure- he might miss it and decide to train again.
OMG an american olympic gold medatlist is not continuing? Well there is just no precedent! LOL LOL!
IA. I don't think it's likely we'll see him again but he really does seem to thrive off of competition and structure so I do not think it's completely out the realm of possibility.
It seems wise to end his competitive career on high note.
It's the new trend. It's in.
No one retires any more. It's always about taking the "indefinite break". Kwan started all this...
Thats old news. He already said he wasn't doing Grand Prix this year.
And to me it's far less obnoxious than retiring and coming back repeatedly, like certain athletes in other sports have done.
Ahh....who might we be referring to here? *cough a certain football player cough*
You win an Olympic medal, go see if you can make money off of it and when the money and opportunities run dry you return to skating if your body will let you and you feel like you can dedicate yourself to the training.
The situation's not complicated to decipher and is the path for a lot of skaters.
I think we'll see him back. He's cool with training hard and he'll grow weary of life on the D-List. I don't see him coaching or doing choreo either.
I echoe the thoughts of most in this thread in that I very much doubt he will compete again. Why would he, he has already achieved all you can in the amateur World, and he is headlining Stars on Ice.
Anyway eventually there will be some men who are regularly landing quads and combining it with a complete program and he would never return in his late 20s to try and go up against that when he has already ended his amateur career on a high note.
He needs to take the cash and run to college because I don't see much of a role for him in skating if he is not competing except as a technical specialist or judge.
College at UCLA (or in the ghetto at USC) as well as on the D-List could be a pretty sweet deal.
Scott Hamilton loves him and he is the only American OGM of the last 18 years excluding Hughes and Lipinski who obviously were done with skating awhile back. I think he will continue to be the star of SOI for atleast the next quad, unless the tour goes bankrupt.
I meant in eligible skating (ie coaching, choreography). Of course, he will tour at least until 2014, where he can wow the crowd with Olympic style 3T and 2A to their hearts delight.
I will very much miss seeing Lysacek in competitions!
On the other hand I think that with the Olympics as his last ISU competition is for a skater the greatest time to end one´s eligible career as the reigning Olympic, World and GPF champion....
well, if anyone needs routine and structure, they can go to schol or get a job... skating is definitely not the only way to bring these things into one's life
Yep - and that was as high a note as he could get out of himself. He's still just not artistic (or whatever you want to call it) but he works like hell and follows direction well. It would be very hard to accomplish anything anywhere near what he did twice and he seems, by his own statements, mostly in it for the athletics. With the ever changing sport. It seems unlikely.
Evan has the same problem as Johnny, what does he do now?
If you check out the attached link, it suggests a possibility for Evan's next avocation.

"This card is so well designed! The colors and font(s) are perfect for the Thanksgiving season. The photo layout was easy to adapt to my personal photos and the colorful fall border and back of the card really set off the photos beautifully. I have been extremely happy with all of my holiday card orders from Tiny Prints over the past few years... my only challenge is deciding on which beautiful card to pick! Last year, I loved so many of the card designs that I did 6 different Holiday Xmas card sets and loved them all. It was so exciting when they arrived at my door, as each set of cards exceeded my expectations! The card stock was thick and colors vibrant! It also gave me the opportunity to do a comparison in quality and they were all great! This card design is one of my very favorites!"
"I love it when a product arrives and it looks as good as its advertisement. Paper quality, photo quality, and printing quality all perfect. The Review Team helped me frame a picture that was cutting off one of my kids in the design. Thank you Tiny Prints! Love this card"
"I love this design for a thanksgiving card. The only thing is I forgot to hit glossy print so I got matte but it still turned out good and I am happy with the outcome."
"Card was heavy cardstock with a very subtle sheen to it... not too much and not too little. We chose the scallop edge and it was perfect. I gave this a 4-star on design. We wanted 3 photos on the back but with ONE place to include a message or personal text, (not 3 photos and 3 separate text boxes), thus we had to opt for no additional text message on the back of the card so we could still have the 3 photos. The colors are perfect for this time of year. We complimented the card with upgrading to red envelopes. Because this card turned out so well and the quality so nice, we will probably start a new tradition of sending out Thanksgiving Cards rather than the traditional Christmas card. I hope Tiny Prints increases and keeps their selection strong of Thanksgiving cards!!"
"This card turned out so nice! I got lots of compliments on it. The paper is heavy-duty; much better than I thought it would be. Love the leaf design throughout."

|Business Students Travel Near and Far this Academic Year
|This academic year, students from the School of Business traveled to some of the most exciting places in the world.
From New York City to the United Arab Emirates, and places in between, business students at Ithaca College had many opportunities to visit locations that left a lasting impression.
In the fall, accounting students had the opportunity to visit employers and alumni at major firms in New York City. This annual fall tradition gives students a valuable insight into what it's like to work at a major firm. Ryan O'Connor '12, said "the alumni we met were great – easy to talk to, willing to share their new experiences and give advice as to which way we can look for."
Three School of Business seniors, Jennifer O'Leary, Julius Vainauskas, and Joe Zenz, attended the Beta Gamma Sigma National Student Leadership Forum in Memphis, TN. The Forum brings together student members from colleges and universities across the country for a chance to improve their leadership skills, development and personal growth. Only 100 students are able to attend this prestigious event. Students often characterize it as a "life changing experience."
This spring, four students packed parkas and not swimsuits for spring break and headed to Alaska to provide free tax help to residents of remote villages. After arriving in Anchorage, the teams received their assigned territories and traveled via puddle jumper planes, pickups, ATVs and snowmobiles. "I feel extremely fortunate to have twice had the opportunity not only to travel to beautiful parts of Alaska but also to have a positive impact on the lives of those I met. Participating in Ithaca College's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program definitely helped prepare me for the experience and made transitioning confidently into a leadership role in the field almost seamless." said Meghan Miller, '12.
Lauren Goldberg, '13, and Professor Aimee Dars Ellis, attended the "Women as Global Leaders" conference in the United Arab Emirates where they presented on a panel called, "Sustainability Education from Three Perspectives." Lauren Golderg said that, "Attending the conference in Abu Dhabi was a wonderful experience. I am lucky to have met so many confident, motivated women from all over the world. I learned a lot about cultures other than my own, allowing me to broaden my view of the world. I would consider it one of the highlights of the college experience thus far."
Freshman Asaad Anjum had the rare opportunity to attend the World Model United Nations conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, in March. The WorldMUN is the most diverse college-level Model UN conference in the world. Participating in Model United Nations is an excellent way to develop one's negotiation skills, learn effective communication skills and form solutions with peers from around the world, as well as to broaden one's perspective on a variety of international topics. "People might think that me winning the Best Diplomacy Award at the biggest MUN conference is huge...for me, getting the chance to sit with people from all over the world and discuss current global pharmaceutical scams and wildlife crimes was huge. " said Asaad Anjum.
Members of the Ithaca College chapter of the American Marketing Association spent a week in New Orleans for the 34th Annual International Collegiate Conference. While there, the ICAMA presented on various panels and moved up to a Bronze Chapter (number 12 overall). Jake Tennenbaun '12, said "Having the opportunity to travel to New Orleans after spending years working with the club was an amazing opportunity. I had the opportunity to hear incredible speakers from around the world, whom I was able to probe for questions and converse over unique topics like social media and green marketing. This trip was truly an amazing experience, one that I will never forget!"
"These away-from-campus experiences allow students to apply what they've learned in the classroom at Ithaca College, and to interact with others in the business world and from other colleges and countries. Such interactions enrich the learning experiences and expand the perspectives of our students in ways that are invaluable in preparing them to be successful in the world. And the Ithaca College environment encourages students to seek out these kinds of opportunities." said Dean Mary Ellen Zuckerman.
