|Topic Review (Newest First)
|i dident bought the sail yet, will post back when i have it.
It sounds like you haven't fully researched your options. The quote mentioned 5 oz. Dacron and 1 reef. The last post mentioned offshore sailing and heavy duty reinforcement. These two options are at odds.
First, your Tanzer 7.5 is not what I'd consider an offshore boat nor does it appear that you are likely to be in heavy weather for extended periods, living in Quebec. I'd check with a couple of reputable sail lofts and get their opinion on the kind of sail (cloth weight, number of reefs, etc.) suitable for the type of sailing you intend to do. You probably don't need a bullet-proof, heavy sail with 3 reefs if you are going to choose to sail only in light or moderate winds. Adequate reefing (I'd go for at least 2 reefs) should get you through brief, unexpected periods of high winds.
It's a good idea to verify the measurements for your boat. Hopefully you didn't take the numbers from an old, stretched out sail. I just went through a sail measurement on my own boat yesterday. Even though we had the architect's drawings and the 10 yr old sail it's replacing, the sail loft (which is nearby) measured the boat. A reputable sail loft would tell you how to do this yourself. Assuming your boat is on the hard for the winter and the spars are accessible, it should be relatively easy to measure for a new main.
|Well, what did you get? I am looking for the same sail. Any lessons learned? Den
In general, you get what you pay for.
I am a rep for a major sailmaker....
All the major companies build sails offshore now-a-days and have vaguely similar cost structures...
and, in general, you get what you pay for. You pay for the type of dacron sailcloth and the little details of construction.
For an inexpensive price, you'll get a sail make of inexpensive dacron, with minimum construction details.
For a middle price, you can get a sail made of lower stretch dacron, made with more reinforcements at slugs, clews, batten pockets, etc.
Every sailcloth manufacturer has a table showing which cloths are recommended for what size boats and the level of performance. First of all you want a cruising sail that is durable and doesn't require special handling. And you want it to last. And you don't want to pay a lot.
That means you want dacron sail cloth... probably. It's half the price of cruising laminates.
There are three grades of woven dacron cloth for cruising. 1. Economy cruising, 2. low stretch/high modulus, and 3. high-performance oriented wovens dacrons.
(high performance wovens are VERY expensive, more expensive than nice cruising laminates. So we'er going to discuss the economy and low stretch grades of dacron.)
Name brand cloth manufacturers (Challenge, Dimension Polyant, Contender, Bainbridge) sell dacron cloth in each category, in several weights.
All the cloths from name brand manufacturers will give you years of service if the correct weight is chosen for your boat. BUT The higher grades will hold their shape longer than the less expensive ones.
The difference in price is in the grade of cloth, not the weight. To go up one level in weight is maybe $50 more.
Upgrading to a high modulus dacron might cost $100-$200 more. And the sail will sail almost like new for years longer than the basic dacron.
I am very familiar with Challenge and Dimension polyant sailcloths; and passing familiar with contender brand.
Here's what the manufacturer's documentation recommends for your boat:
A) Good quality entry level dacron: one of the followng:
Challenge Performance Cruise dacron, 6.18 oz for cross cut mainsail. Dimension Polyant Coastal 270C or 270TNF (6.3 oz).
B) Better Quality, holds a better sail shape for more years:
These are the high modulus, low stretch cloths, made of more expensive dacron fibers. These cloths come specialized for various aspect ratios. Your Tanzer has an aspect ration of 3:1, which is high. We need a cloth engineered with a low stretch fill-thread.
Challenge 5.93 or 6.63. Dimension Polyant 230 SF (5.4 oz) with a medium tempered finish.
Construction details also are VERY important. But most folks don't know what to look for, because the details are subtle. A sailmaker who DOES include those features will be happy to show you. They make a difference in the shape of the sail as it ages.
You do want lots of reinforcement at slugs, leech edges of seams, and head/tack/clew. Cheaper sails scrimp on these details.
You don't need "blue water" features which generally add extra chafe resistance, double tapes, etc. You don't need triple rows of stitching -- you want triple-stitch zig zag stitching where needed, which stretches better than single stitch zig zag - which most sails have.
In general, you get what you pay for. Any body can buy sails in a foreign country and make inexpensive sails by using inexpensive cloth and building in minimal features.
Don't buy on the basis of descriptions like "coastal" or "off-shore" unless the sail loft gives you a list of what's included. And don't pay more for off-shore features unless you make long passages and/or sail in the tropics for weeks on end.
Hope this helps demystify sail cloth somewhat...

Another cloth to look at, is Ullmans CAL, this is a laminate that costs the same as a good quality dacron, with less stretch, higher and lower wind range.........
As far as your boat, I could see a bit heavier than 5oz cloth personally.
i guess i have to say that ive only been sailing for 2 summers now thats why i am a bit confuse to what to get and avoid ect.The wind here is blowing good in the morning 15-25 kn but always died down after 12:00 most of the time. Ive sailed for 1000 nautical miles last summer and will do double that if not more the next summer.My main as 4 batten(i want that again) 2 reefs (since i sail reefed lots of times).I want a main that will last a bit its not offshore but i am going to lac bras dor and maybe Newfounland so its as to be a good quality.So 5 onz way to light anything else ?
thanks to everyone who answered its helping alot.
|If you need 2 reefs, get them. And for a cruising sail, get full length tappered battens. I wouldn't go "offshore" on the cloth weight, but something heavier than 5oz would be nice.
A Tanzer 7.5 should have at least 7.5 oz. (eg. high modulus Contender cloth) You can use a 'quality' high modulus 6.5 oz. IF your primary sailing venue is for 'light' to moderate winds.
If you intend on travelling, Id forget full battens and would recommend 2 FULL (& tapered) battens in the top and 2 LONG battens for the lower panels .... less chafe when reefed. Battens: 2 FULL + 2 LONG .... or 2+2.
If you plan a lot of 'travelling', Id also strongly recommend an 'over-the-top' leech cord system so that you can adjust the all important leech tension from the BASE OF THE MAST, instead of 'hanging overboard' trying to adjust a leech cord when on a downwind reach. An over-the-top leech cord system runs to a cheek block mounted to the headboard then runs down the sail luff inside a sleeve, but is 'exposed' and has a cleat at each reef position at the luff. This is beneficial (and safe!!!) when you NEED to adjust the leech tension RIGHT NOW so as to prevent undue leech flogging during a 'blow', etc. ... unfortunately most 'cheapy' mail order lofts usually wont be able to supply such a set-up.
Id also recommend that you discuss with the sailmaker ... to ADD an extra length of LUFF BOLTROPE (stored at the headboard and 'all ready to go') to make future 'easing'/adjustment of the boltrope length EASY and therefore cost effective in the future.
Luff Boltopes on woven dacron sails ALWAYS shrink over time ... and THAT causes a dacron sail to become 'baggy' (draft aft, too much draft, leech hooks to weather - the boat is SLOW, aggressivvely heels and CANT 'POINT'); If the extra boltrope length is 'already there' a sailmaker can do the adjustment 'in about an hour' and doesnt have to do major 'rebuild' or alterations to adjust the boltrope .... this will VASTLY prolong the useful life of a dacron sail. Adjusting the boltrope is cheaper than buying a new sail.
A dacron sail 'should' have the boltrope eased/adjusted probably every 100-200 hours of 'hard' sailing or after each season of 'hard' sailing. Be SURE to personally precisely measure and record the luff length (do this yourself!!!) of the new sail so that any future adjustment can precisely return the luff length to the OEM length, and the sailmaker wont have to 'guess' when doing the all important and periodic 'adjustment' to the boltrope.
hope this helps.
If one reef is $55, the 2nd would be another $55, then add 50-100 for triple stiching, so less than $600-700 for a main.
You might also look at FX sails, they do advertise here usually in the left side near the top. I know of a couple of folks with their sails, seem to like them. Along with they have 3 or 4 sail type options to choose from.
Unless you intend to do a bunch of light air racing, 5 oz cloth sounds absurdly light for a mainsail for a boat like the Tanzer. A J-22 racing mainsail is typically around 6 oz and these sails are so light that they have very short useful lifespans.
I would also not necessarily suggest going with an offshore spec for a Tanzer 7.5. Unless you spend a lot of time sailing in heavy conditions you do not need the added weight that is assoicated with an offshore sail and that added the weight would really reduce the lower end of the useful wind range of a mainsail on a 24 foot boat without actually increasing the useful life of the sail.
I would also strongly suggest that you go to full length battens.

Usually, spending a couple of hours with the mechanic isn't highly on everyone's list nor something you generally look forward to doing.
But when "The Mechanic" is Jason Statham's new hit movie and you're attending the red carpet premiere at Planet Hollywood, well, that's not so bad. Plus, you don't even need to beg for a rental car.
Statham was there, but wasn't about to reveal (at least to us) his plans for the evening: VIDEO
There were plenty of other stars on the carpet, including "Peepshow" stars Holly Madison and Laura Croft, mixed martial arts icon Randy Couture, actor Jason Flemyng, "The Mechanic" Director Simon West, Flamingo Las Vegas comedian/magician Nathan Burton, and the former host of "The Price is Right" at Bally's, Joey Fatone. We asked Fatone about the transition from boy band star to Vegas game-show host: VIDEO.
Check out our Facebook page for more videos featuring Madison and West and other pictures from the red carpet, and make sure you see Statham in the action in theaters. "The Mechanic" opens nationwide today!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Nemo, May 14, 2014.
All I got is Andre Drummond...I'll get back to you later.
I'm going to start posting the same comments in each thread just to be safe.
Lucky! I didn't see the other thread yet and I would have had major FOMO had I missed this comment by you. Thanks!
Detroit Pistons - Van Gundy hires consultant from Flint via Pistonsforum.com
we can kill this thread...plenty of other ones already in use.
If you read further in the article it says a man named "Junior" was hired as an assistant to the consultant.
I missed that. Perhaps this should be moved to the "Things that make you feel good" thread.
By "kill this thread", you mean post pictures of peacocks and cheerleaders and stuff like that, right?
Let's try to move this discussion to the Bacon thread.
Greg Monroe is obviously going to play a big part in what we do in free agency. But these are some guys I like who aren't obvious big names. Gordon Hayward (RFA) - As long as the price tag isn't too steep I like him as our starting 3. Can take pressure off Jennings as an additional ball handler. Reminds me of Ginobili in that regard. Can make plays for others. Shooting suffered and turnover prone last season, but was trying/asked to do too much on a bad Utah team. Not suited to being the man, but would be a great complementary piece. Expecting around $50m/4 years. Something closer to $44m/4 would be nice. Kent Bazemore (UFA) - Has size and athleticism to play both ends at SG. Put up numbers when he got some minutes after being traded to the Lakers. Cheaper and younger option than what Stuckey provided - like him as 6th/7th man. Solid shooter and can knock down the 3. Not a bad distributor. 24 years old. Jeff Adrien (UFA) - If we lose Moose and go with Smith/Drummond up front, I like Adrien coming off the bench. High energy, plays hard, rebounding is biggest strength. Looks like he has Pistons DNA (the old stuff). Can be had cheap (made <1m last season).
Every trade scenario that is being discussed out there involving Greg Monroe seems to end up with us taking it in the shorts. I hope we retain that dude.
It's easy. Trade Jennings to a contender for a late 1st rounder and an expiring deal. I don't see how a team (perhaps the Bulls, Pacers, Mavs?) wouldn't go for it. Jennings would be a good back-up to Rose. Jennings is more talented than anything a contender will get in the later part of the 1st round. Then sign Patty Mills, who will be a free agent this summer. I don't think Spurs would match anything above 4 million per season, as they still have a very good Tony Parker playing, with Cory Joseph ready to step in as back-up PG. Then, let's see what Smith can do under SVG before we decide on him. SVG will be the best coach he ever had, and SVG won't accept the chucking from Smith. Best case senario is probably Smith being a 6th man of the year-candidate. Or we trade him for a veteran on an expiring deal who can contribute. If we have the money, Gordon Hayward would be an ideal fit next to Monroe and Drummond.
I love Patty Mills because he is Aussie. But even I don't think he is that good. He also likely will not go away from the Spurs. Smith isn't going to be the 6th man.
They should un-retire Joe's number so Rodney Stuckey can wear it after he re-signs if Monroe leaves and the Pistons are stuck with Smith and Jennings.
I'm down with any deal that leads to us getting rid of the X-Man. I just don't see Chicago or other teams being interested in him. I can't imagine a meeting where the Bulls' GM tells Tom Thibodeau that they've made a deal for Brandon Jennings. That's a meeting that isn't going to end well. ending well.
Still, I can definitely see some of the contending teams trading for Jennings. I'd even trade him for a 2nd rounder to the Lakers or something. As long as we can get someone else to play PG (Mills, Lowry as examples)
Patty Mills is a system player. Even though he is very young, I suspect last week was the peak of his career. Leonard and to a certain extend Danny Green are the only players I see on the Spurs roster that can continue to thrive outside of San Antonio.
I don't necessarily think he is a system player - he is capable of big games on his own and carrying a team. But he's not a starting calibre PG as yet. Not until he improves his handles. He outplayed Miami's infinite loop of PG's, but the elite PG's in the league will eat him up on offense. I like Lowry a lot more than Jennings, but his price tag this summer is likely to be >10m.
Didn't that Barea guy look like a stud when the Mavs won?
Separate names with a comma.

The American nightmare is drawing to its conclusion with the exodus from Washington D.C. of George Bush. During the past eight years the ignorant trio of Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush have considered the United States Constitution a piece of paper they could ignore anytime they considered it didn't accord with their plans. A story in The New York Times indicates American military forces conducted secret operations against al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups by entering nations like Syria and Pakistan without permission of their governments. Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld authorized the military in the spring of 2004 to conduct operations anywhere in the world. Units like the SEALS or special forces simply operated in Syria and Pakistan on the basis of their own intelligence that al-Qaeda leaders were in the area.
The United States once stood as a symbol of a nation that represented law and order. Under the Bush administration we have come to represent a bunch of thugs who enter nations without permission because the president says we can do it. We all hope an Obama administration will end this rogue behavior.

A few days ago, CSC announced its new Celeriti banking platform, which consists of five products: Celeriti Customer, Celeriti Deposits, Celeriti Loans, Celeriti Cards, and Celeriti Merchant. The solution includes, for example, a strong business process focus, business intelligence, and the so-called Web Portal User Interface. The platform has been built around IBM application infrastructure, runs on multiple operating systems such as z/OS, z/Linux, Linux, and Windows, and has been validated for use with the IBM Banking Industry framework. Here is my initial reaction to Celeriti.

When designing application infrastructure strategy, planning for the renewal of their application landscape, or assessing their overall strategic position, banks and other types of firms in financial services typically like to know the answer to the question: "What are the others doing?" In the past, surveys similar to our newest financial services survey helped application delivery professionals as well as enterprise architects assess their position, for example, regarding application infrastructure strategy as well as broader application renewal initiatives and position their individual initiative in the regional or global IT and business environment.

Hey guys, after years and years of being a Boba Fett fan I came to learn that I'd been missing out on something called the 501st! A friend of mine recommended I take a look, and without a doubt I know this is something I want to pour time, effort, (money....) and passion into.
I'm happily married to a fellow Star Wars fan, and our daughter (now 6 months) will most likely be a fan too. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here and starting my first Boba Fett outfit.

Follow the Prophet
35395, Children's Songbook, The Gospel, Follow the Prophet, 110–11
1. Adam was a prophet, first one that we know.
In a place called Eden, he helped things to grow.
Adam served the Lord by following his ways.
We are his descendants in the latter days.
2. Enoch was a prophet; he taught what was good.
People in his city did just what they should.
When they were so righteous that there was no sin,
Heav'nly Father took them up to live with him.
3. Noah was a prophet called to preach the word,
Tried to cry repentance, but nobody heard.
They were busy sinning—Noah preached in vain.
They wished they had listened when they saw the rain.
4. Abraham the prophet prayed to have a son,
So the Lord sent Isaac as the chosen one.
Isaac begat Jacob, known as Israel;
Jacob's sons were twelve tribes, so the Bible tells.
5. Moses was a prophet sent to Israel.
He would lead them to the promised land to dwell.
They were slow to follow, or so it appears.
They were in the wilderness for forty years.
6. Samuel was a prophet chosen as a boy.
Hannah promised God her son would serve with joy.
In the tabernacle, Samuel heard his name;
He was called by God and answered, "Here I am!"
7. Jonah was a prophet, tried to run away,
But he later learned to listen and obey.
When we really try, the Lord won't let us fail:
That's what Jonah learned deep down inside the whale.
8. Daniel was a prophet. He refused to sin;
So the king threw Daniel in the lion's den.
Angels calmed the lions, and the king soon saw
Daniel's pow'r was great, for he obeyed God's law.
9. Now we have a world where people are confused.
If you don't believe it, go and watch the news.
We can get direction all along our way,
If we heed the prophets—follow what they say.
Follow the prophet, follow the prophet,
Follow the prophet; don't go astray.
Follow the prophet, follow the prophet,
Follow the prophet; he knows the way.
Words and music: Duane E. Hiatt, b. 1937.

"I ordered these for my daughter to give to her friends. They are adorable and the perfect size. I like that they don't have a "to:" line, so she can pass them out without having to fill in specific names first. One will make a cute keepsake for me too."
"I was very impressed with the quality of this card. My son was so excited to have his picture and name on the card. He is really looking forward to giving these out on Valentine's Day."
"I ordered these cards for my son for Valentine's Day to hand out with some sweet treats. The quality is outstanding! The Card is just adorable!! I let him choose the picture and design, we had a blast putting it together. The size is small, so it can't be mailed, but otherwise, perfect for its purpose!"
"I got these cards for my 2-year old son to pass out to his pre-school class and teachers and family members. They are beautifully printed on soft thick paper. I love the size, they are pretty small, but come with their own tiny envelopes! Very happy with my purchase."
"I LOVE THIS ONE!!!! When they came I didn't realize they were so small but they worked perfectly for what I wanted them for. it was LOVE LOVE LOVE at first sight."

What interesting replies. On another bee forum they continue to tell me to keep feeding them especially since this was an April 13th package of new bees; that there's no harm in making sure theycan make it throught the Winter. I'm looking forward to more replies here to see if this is what most people think I need to do.Keep in mind, I never said I had all capped honey. I would say there is about 6 bars of various stages of honey right now. The rest is brood, capped brood, pollen and nectar at various stages of development.
The bees obviously need the syrup but where do I place the feeder when they start using that space?

It started with Renan Lenz and four missed lay-ups in the first five minutes of Utah's 82-64 loss to Oregon State.
It continued with missed assignments defensively, shaky offense and the lack of rebounding.
The kicker? Turning Joe Burton into the best college basketball player in America for one night.
Ok. Maybe that last line is a stretch. But not by much. Utah couldn't control the one player it needed to control, as Burton went for 17 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds.
Roberto Nelson scored a game-high 26 and Eric Moreland grabbed 15 rebounds.
It was an ugly performance for the Utes, and one that didn't need to be.
"We just got outplayed," Brandon Taylor said. "We didn't play well when we needed to."
It was another down performance with the chance to win consecutive Pac-12 games. And now, the road gets tougher as the Utes travel to Oregon to face perhaps the best team in the league.

I am ALWAYS interested in getting together for a shoot.
Are any of you guys interested in getting together this fall (after it cools off) to meet and or shoot?
I am ALWAYS interested in getting together for a shoot.
Sounds good to me Sean. Anyone else want to get together?
It's cool in the high country right now. When and where?
Do you ever shoot IPSC style? Tonto Rim Sports Club has an IPSC shoot on the first Saturday and last Sunday of each month approx. 5 miles south of Payson. Members and non members are welcome. I'm a member and attend all that I can, including tomorrows. They start at 9:00 AM. It is a good bunch of guys and varies from 15 to 25 shooters. We usualy go through 100 rounds or so each shoot.
I'd love to join in, but I'm afraid it's a bit too long a trip. There's plenty of shooting here, though!
We will just have to do it again when you get back. I expect you will be able to get in a bit of practice in the meantime.
Just remember to shoot straight and keep your head down. Pay close attention to the head down part.
TOF it looks like it will be a while before I'm running and gunning.
" TOF it looks like it will be a while before I'm running and gunning "
I sort of read that between the lines of your other posts. Just keep in mind that the lucky ones, thats us, can run out in the woods and shoot just about anytime we wish. My buddies and I have a couple of favorite spots within a short drive. I expect you do also. My suggestion regarding the range in Payson was for the benefit of our flatland friends.
We can get a shoot together when conditions improve. If it's hot we will just have to stay north if cold go south and so on.
Just holler when you are ready.
I'm always game for a good time shooting! Count me in.

I watched the videos of the project TDH did for him on youtube and it just makes me feel all warm inside. I would very much like to meet him someday. Honestly, if you ever get in one of those relaxing moods... listening to soothing calm music, and seriously try it. It's a great feeling and I am glad to be part of this community. It's simple and kinda lame but it was a touching moment and I wanted to share with the rest of the family and hopefully some of you will feel the same! Happy Holidays everyone!

Wojciech Szczesny has hailed Robin van Persie as the best player in the Premier League.
Van Persie was instrumental in Sunday's North London derby victory over Tottenham, scoring the equaliser and providing an assist for Theo Walcott's first of the afternoon.
The Dutchman reached 23 league goals with his excellent first-half strike and Szczesny says there is nobody better than him in England.
"He's not bad is he?" joked the goalkeeper. "He only scored one goal today though, which is really disappointing for him! We are used to him scoring a hat-trick.
"But he set up a couple and he was great. He worked very hard defensively, headed a few balls away when we defended corners and scored a fantastic goal.
"That's what he is all about - he is the best player in the Premier League and we are very pleased to have him."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

PETA rakes in $34 million, but only saves 8 animals
posted at 6:12 pm on March 17, 2010 by Cassy Fiano
PETA is in hot water over their euthanasia rates right now. Despite reporting an annual revenue of an astounding $34 million in 2009, they only saved the lives of 8 animals. Every other animal turned over to PETA was euthanized. This has critics furious, and rightly so.
The organization euthanizes over 90 percent of the dogs and cats relinquished to its headquarters in Norfolk, Va. In 2009, PETA euthanized 2,301 dogs and cats — 97 percent of those brought in — and adopted only eight, according to Virginia state figures. And the rate of these killings has been increasing. From 2004 to 2008, euthanasia at PETA increased by 10 percent.
The numbers are remarkable in contrast to nearby shelters. In the same town, the Norfolk City Pound euthanized 54.7 percent of its dogs and cats in 2009. In 2008, the most recent year on record, the Norfolk SPCA found homes for 86 percent of its dogs and cats and euthanized only 5.3 percent.
But of course, don't blame PETA. They're doing the best they can. Right?
"Our euthanasia program has never been a secret," said Daphna Nachminovitch, vice president of cruelty investigations at PETA. "This is one of many, many things that we do to alleviate the suffering of animals."
Nachminovitch brushes aside the idea that there is a financial motive behind their practice. PETA reported an annual revenue of more than $34 million in 2009. She says shelters don't cost much money to build or maintain, but when they are jam-packed with homeless pets, the caged animals suffer. The culprits aren't the shelters that euthanize animals, she adds, but the breeders and pet shops that fill society with 6 million to 8 million shelter animals each year.
"Money can't buy a good home, so it's not a matter of money," she said. "You could build the nicest shelter in the world, but if you don't have homes for them, they're still going to sit in a cage."
And that is the problem with Winograd's movement, according to PETA. The emphasis on "no-kill" means shelters are overcrowded and animals suffer. Instead, the emphasis should be on "no-breed." PETA promotes spaying and neutering with this in mind and sterilized 8,677 animals last year.
While this is indeed a good point, it's still hard to believe that there was nothing PETA could do to save the lives of more of the animals they took in.
Let's look at the projects they've been spending their money on recently. Maybe that could give us an idea of just why PETA finds themselves forced to kill thousands of animals every year… yet still call themselves an "ethical" organization when it comes to the treatment of animals. They wanted to make tofu with George Clooney's sweat. They tried to open a "lobster empathy center" (no joke). They campaigned to get ice cream made with human milk instead of cow milk and to get fish renamed "sea kittens". They actually had billboards aimed at fat girls called "Save the Whales", telling them to "lose the blubber… go vegan". And who could forget their near-pornographic Super Bowl ad, titled "Veggie Love". Of course, there's also all of the naked women they feature in ad campaigns.
Maybe it's just me… but could the loonies at PETA perhaps stop using their money on such crazy ideas, and maybe use it to try to get more of their animals adopted? I don't know, maybe they could use it to buy some newspaper ads or something. Maybe instead of billboards telling fat girls to go vegan, they could buy billboards advertising the animals they have available for adoption. An animal shelter in my hometown would have a "pet of the day" feature on the morning news every day to advertise their adoptable pets — perhaps PETA could try that. I don't know, those are just a few of my ideas. But apparently PETA has more important things to spend their money on than saving the lives of animals.
Now, yes, PETA is not an adoption agency. But it seems to me that they're playing an extremely hypocritical game. They want to shame people who eat lobsters into taking trips into a "lobster empathy center", but they euthanize almost every single animal that falls into their hands because they can't possibly do anything more to find them homes? It doesn't seem like these animals are being euthanized because of health reasons or issues with agression. They're euthanizing them because they don't want to put them in a shelter, which is "cruel". Killing them for pure convenience? Not so cruel. Yes, that sounds really ethical. Let's recap. Eating fish or lobsters or meat? Horrible, terrible, and unethical. Euthanizing animals out of laziness and for convenience? Completely ethical!
It seems clear that there is literally no reason for anyone to support PETA anymore.

China to increase defense budget by 10.7%
posted at 12:27 pm on March 5, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
And that's just what they're willing to admit:
China's military spending will grow by 10.7 percent this year — a notable increase in the face of sluggish economic growth — according to official reports delivered Tuesday at the kickoff of a two-week meeting that will culminate in the elevation of China's new president and premier.
The military increase continues nearly two decades of double-digit growth and comes at a critical time as the incoming leaders are consolidating their power and shoring up personal relations with China's generals.
Leaders also set their target for China's economy to grow 7.5 percent this year, a number unchanged from last year and modest compared to previous decades of furious growth. The goal reflects belief that the effects of China's economic slowdown will likely linger in the coming year.
The latest figures delivered by China's outgoing Premier Wen Jiabao opened the National People's Congress, an annual parliamentary meeting comprised of highly choreographed speeches, press conferences and rubber stamp votes for initiatives laid out by the ruling Communist Party. The meeting is expected to end on March 17 with party leader Xi Jinping becoming China's new president.
Wen's remarks included standard praises for the past year's work but sprinkled with admissions of problems he and President Hu Jintao were leaving their successors: unsustainable development, corruption, pollution, innovation stifled by dominant state-owned enterprises, income disparity and the gap between rural and urban development.
This is something to keep in mind while we discuss our own global security policies and defense spending over the next several years. We're likely to face only one potential emerging superpower in the next few decades, and if we're not prepared to match strength, we'll end up getting challenged and pushed back in the Pacific. Perhaps it might make sense to shift away from a Europe-centric view of global security and put resources where the greatest potential threats will lie.

I need to adjust my mannequin stance as he looks a bit of a 'camp' boba so to say.Any ideas on how its best to cut the limbs etc?
I need to adjust my mannequin stance as he looks a bit of a 'camp' boba so to say.Any ideas on how its best to cut the limbs etc?
Hmm...with a saw? Hehe.
If you really want a good stance, I´d go for the longsleeve, pants, duct tape and expanding foam scratch version though.
What do is I cut the limb at the joint (hacksaw - or Dremel if the material is softer). Then I sand the areas to be joined with heavy grit sandpaper. I drill holes into the ends of each piece of the limb where it's to be joined. I shove pliable wire into the holes, and sort of lace the limb into the new position. Sometimes it needs extra temporary support, like a sling, or rest it on something high, if it's an arm or whatever. Then I lay fiberglass over the lacing wire and let that set up. Usually a couple of layers. When it sets up, it's in a new position.
I'm actually getting ready to do this on one of my new mannequins soon.
I also make the fingers poseable so you can get them to hold weapons. Someone suggested using zip ties (i guess at the wrist) to secure the weapon to the hand even more securely. Sounds like a good idea to me.
post some pics if you can Slave I!!! I gotta do that with mine eventually!
Okay, there you go. Didn't know anyone had done a tutorial on this.
One thing to mention is you can save yourself a little bit of money by going with a headless mannequin. You can add a head fairly easily yourself (dowel rod and an old inverted bowl) and save yourself $15 to $20 off a total mannequin price.
The refiberglassing technique is also a good tool in ensuring there is no confusion about your Fett's gener preference. I'm just saying some of the poses they put those mannequins in . . . well, you get my drift. Put your mannequin in a manly pose.

"Members of Congress like to respond to problems and the way that they respond . . . is by creating a program, and . . . there isn't sufficient oversight of the programs that already exist," says Robert Bixby, executive director of The Concord Coalition.
Bixby is with a group that works to eliminate federal budget deficits, and says this cycle is brought about by political turf wars. . . .
"Nothing got into the federal budget by accident," Bixby stated. "Somebody put it there and the people that put it there or the interest group that put it there are going to fight to keep it there, and probably they're going to fight harder to keep it there than the rest . . . are going to fight to get rid of it."

Green Bay Beats Detroit 5-2 to Clinch Share of Horizon League Title
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's tennis team clinched at least a share of its second consecutive Horizon League regular season title on Friday evening, knocking off Detroit 5-2 in a neutral site contest in Kalamazoo. The Phoenix improved to a perfect 5-0 in conference play with the win and 15-7 overall.
The Titans (3-15, 0-6 HL) took the doubles point to start the match, but the Phoenix rallied to win five of the six singles contests en route to the victory.

Getting dominant pitching throughout the entire series, the Canisius baseball team defeated Iona College 7-0 and 8-0 to complete a three-game sweep of the Gaels in New Rochelle, N.Y. The Golden Griffins, who have won 15 of their last 18 games, improve to 19-7 overall and 4-2 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Game Two – Canisius 8, Iona 0
Three Canisius pitchers combined to throw a nine-inning no-hitter in the series finale on Friday. Freshman Alex Godzak overcame walks to the second and third hitters he faced to not allow a hit in seven innings while striking out six. Godzak retired the next 20 batters he faced and combined with sophomore Rohn Pierce and junior Jon Fitzsimmons, the trio retired the final 26 batters of the game to record the first no-hitter by Canisius in nearly 20 years.
Canisius has thrown two other no-hitters in its Division I history. Mike Firth threw a no-hitter against Buffalo on May 2, 1986, and Joe Mamott threw a no-hitter against Siena on May 2, 1993. Both of those no-hitters were seven-inning contests.
Canisius took the lead in the fifth inning, which started with a leadoff walk to junior Shane Zimmer. After Zimmer moved to second on a wild pitch and to third on a passed ball, he scored on an RBI double from sophomore Connor Panas. An RBI groundout from sophomore Mike Krische scored Panas and put Canisius up 2-0. The Griffs doubled their lead in the seventh, as Zimmer started this rally with a leadoff single. Senior Chris Gruarin pinch ran for Zimmer and stole second and third. An RBI triple from junior Ronnie Bernick scored Gruarin and an RBI double from Krische put Canisius up by four.
The Griffs broke the game open with a four-run ninth inning, getting a two-RBI single from senior Christian Segar, an RBI triple from junior Jesse Kelso and an RBI single from junior Jimmy Luppens.
Game One – Canisius 7, Iona 0
Sophomore Devon Stewart threw a seven-inning shutout against Iona for the second consecutive season. Stewart (2-3) needed only 83 pitches in the game, allowed two hits, hit one batter and struck out five.
Iona (3-23, 0-6 MAAC) mounted the first threat, getting runners on first and second with two outs in the bottom of the second. Gruarin ended the rally with a diving catch in right field for the third out of the inning. The Griffs took the lead in the top of the third without getting a hit as freshman Anthony Massicci drew a leadoff walk. After moving to second on a passed ball, Bernick moved Massicci to third base with a sacrifice bunt. Massicci eventually scored on a sacrifice fly from Segar.
The Griffs added a run in the fifth when Segar singled with one out and scored on a triple from Kelso. Canisius broke the game open in the sixth, scoring five runs on just one hit and taking advantage of three Iona errors. Sophomore Mike Booth led off and was hit by a pitch. Panas laid down a sacrifice bunt, but a throwing error put runners at the corners. Massicci followed with another bunt to score Booth and advance Panas to second. A double from Bernick scored Panas and made the score 4-0. Krische reached on the second error of the inning, advancing to second on the miscue with Bernick scoring on the play. Krische stole third and after Kelso walked, the junior stole second to put two runners into scoring position. Luppens hit a ball to center that was misplayed for a three-base error, scoring Kelso and Krische and making the score 7-0.
Canisius returns to the field on Wednesday, with a doubleheader at Cornell. First pitch in Ithaca is set for 2 p.m.
Game Notes: Stewart has not allowed a run 14 career innings against the Gaels, giving up seven hits, walking one and striking out 12 in the two starts while averaging 87 pitches… The Canisius pitching staff has now thrown four shutouts on the season, already tied for the most in the last 20 years… The Griffs have a five-game winning streak for the third time in 2013… Segar went 7-for-11 in the series with five steals, four runs scored and four RBI… Canisius posted 15 steals in the three games and now has 63 steals in 26 games… Bernick was 5-for-10 with two doubles and a triples against Iona… Fitzsimmons has struck out eight batters in his last three appearances (3.2 innings).

Fantasy Baseball Morning Update: Pujols to the hot corner
Daisuke Matsuzaka will return to the Red Sox rotation on Saturday. I'll take the over on 100 pitches through five innings, if he gets that far. Who wants the under?
Clayton Richards' blah start dropped our streaming starter record to 39-25 for the season. Today's pick is Houston's J.A. Happ (owned in 4.6 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) against the Cardinals, while Friday's choice is Kevin Millwood (3.3 percent owned) at home against the Dodgers. In Wednesday's post, I had tabbed Edinson Volquez for today, but he's been pushed to Friday at Milwaukee, and I don't like him away from PETCO.
On to the news:
- The Angels plan to start Kendrys Morales at least twice at first base during their upcoming interleague stretch against the Rockies and Dodgers, with Albert Pujols moving to third base for those games. Pujols has made one appearance at the hot corner this season, so keep an eye on the Angels' lineup over the next week, and check your league's positional eligibility rules if you own him. This could get very interesting.
- Tigers OF Austin Jackson will begin a rehab assignment today, and hopes to return within a few days. Barring any setbacks, you can plan to activate Jackson next week. I think his breakout (.958 OPS in 36 games) is for real, by the way.
- Rays 3B Evan Longoria, who has been on the DL since May 1 with a hamstring injury, hopes to begin a rehab assignment by this weekend, and may be able to return to the lineup 7-10 days after that. If you own Longoria, your long era of suffering is probably almost over.
- Tom Wilhelmsen got his second save for the Mariners last night. If the M's are still pretending they have a closer committee, Wilhelmsen is the chairman.
- There are six afternoon games on today's schedule, including three 1:05 p.m. ET starts. Set your lineups accordingly.
- D-backs SP Wade Miley hurled another gem last night, and is now 7-2 with a 2.53 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Does anyone else know why Miley's walk rate is better this season than it was at any of his minor-league stops over the last four years? Color me skeptical.
- In other news from the desert, OF Justin Upton was benched Tuesday and Wednesday in an effort to clear his head or something. Look for Upton to play again Friday.
- Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen threw 32 pitches last night en route to his third save in as many days. Jansen won't pitch today, and might be held out Friday as well.
- Royals SP Felipe Paulino left Wednesday's game during the first inning due to a strained groin. His prognosis is TBD.
- In other Royals' news, catcher Salvador Perez has been assigned to Triple A as part of his rehab assignment, and should return before the end of June.
- Brandon Moss (15 HRs at Triple A) has been called up to be the A's new first baseman. You may remember the 28-year-old Moss as a power-challenged outfielder who came up through the Red Sox system, but he surpassed 20 homers at Triple A in both 2010 (Pirates) and 2011 (Phillies). Moss can be targeted in AL-only leagues, but don't expect too much.
- Cardinals SP Jaime Garcia will have his shoulder examined today, and isn't expected to make his next start.
- Phillies 2B Freddy Galvis is on the DL with a back injury.
- Been wondering about Derek Holland's recent struggles? He's apparently lost 15 pounds over the last month due to a stomach virus. They think he's getting better now, though.
- Reds OF Drew Stubbs is day-to-day with an oblique injury, and they're trying to keep him off the DL. We should know more in a day or two.
- Braves 1B Freddie Freeman left Wednesday's game with a bruised finger on his left hand, and is day-to-day. On the bright side, he can probably see the bruise on his finger very clearly, thanks to his spiffy new glasses.
- The Braves don't seem sure if 3B Chipper Jones will go on a rehab assignment this weekend before coming off the DL.
- The Giants are targeting a Tuesday return for 3B Pablo Sandoval. Bruce Bochy didn't make any more comments about Sandoval's weight when discussing the timetable, so that's a good sign, right?
- White Sox 1B Paul Konerko (wrist) might be back in the lineup tonight, but it's not a guarantee.
- Blue Jays 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion hasn't swung a bat since bruising hit right hand on Sunday. The Jays don't think that E5 will need a DL stint, but let's see what happens over the next couple of days.
See you back here tomorrow morning.

text: i've taken 2 deer with my beretta 92fs. both with speer god dot ammo. the first one went down with a single spinal cord shot (some luck in that). the second one i took last season. this one took 3 shots to finish it. the first shot went through a lung and into the heart, the buck jumped and then just stood there for me to get off another shot to the same area. the second shot dropped him to the ground, but he tried to get up again as i got close so i gave him one in the noggin. hunting with a 9 is a challenge! both deer were taken within 25 yards.

The Second Prototype Boba Fett helmet is often referred to as the Preproduction #2 helmet, prepo 2 helmet, or simply PP2 helmet.
This helmet was painted by Sandy Dhuyvetter's Daydream Productions.
This helmet is noteworthy because it is the source of the Don Post Boba Fett helmet line as well as the only original helmet whose castings have been made available to the public. It is also noteworthy because it is the only original helmet that is known to be in a private collection.
These photos show the Second Prototype Boba Fett helmet as it exists today, in the hands of a private collector. Like most of the other helmets, this helmet has taken considerable damage over the years. Most notable are two deep gouges that travel from the rear of the helmet over the dome. These were sustained when the helmet was cast for Don Post Studios.

Human Rights activists blamed the Indonesian government for failing to halt attacks against followers of the Ahmadiyah sect in west Java. Chairman Hendardi of the Setara Institute said the government was not adhering to provisions of the Indonesian constitution which protects freedom of religion. On Tuesday, the Ahmadiyah worship complex in Kuningan was attacked by Muslims who want the entire religious center closed down because of their belief it fosters incorrect attitudes toward the Muslim religion. In Kuningan, local officials are ignoring insistence from the Vice President of Indonesia to reopen the religious complex. The head of the Kuningan local authority claims he has yet to receive a firm order from the government to end the closure of the center.
As of this point, no one who used violence against members of the Ahmadiyah sect have been charged with any crime. The nation of Indonesia allows free worship for members of many faiths, but it sometimes becomes derelict in protecting rights when fundamentalist Muslim groups display their anger. This Christmas it will be necessary in many parts of Indonesia for Christians to require police protection in order to worship due to fears of being attacked by the small number of Muslim fundamentalists who resort to violence in opposing those who differ.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah Bible College and Biblical Seminary and Western Seminary have recently taken a significant step forward in working together to provide quality biblical and theological education in the Northwest. This spring, both boards approved a resolution to form a joint task force that will investigate the benefits of a consolidation between the two institutions. If successful, Multnomah and Western students would benefit from shared faculty, academic programs, enrollment procedures, and library resources.
"The possibility of a formal consolidation between Multnomah and Western was not something any of us were deliberately seeking six months ago," said Dr. Daniel Lockwood, president of Multnomah. "But I believe trustees of both institutions were always open to the leading of the Spirit of God no matter how radical or how surprising that leading might be.
"Multnomah and Western share so many common values, missional goals, doctrinal distinctives, and historic connections that partnering together to impact the Northwest with rigorous biblical, pastoral, and spiritual training made sense on so many levels."
"Over the many years the ministries of Multnomah and Western have impacted this region, the question has been raised as to why these two fine missions don't become one," said Western Seminary's President Dr. Bert Downs. "I find it remarkable and totally of the Lord that at a time when both seem to be at their individual strongest, the Lord is stirring that thought again."
The Spirit Behind Consolidation
The process started last year when the chair of Western Seminary's board of trustees approached Multnomah with the idea of the two institutions collaborating. Since then, the respective boards have discussed and prayed about the details behind such an endeavor. "Back in December we began asking the question 'Can we serve the Lord better as one team rather than two?'" Western Seminary's board chair Dr. Tom Tunnicliff said. "The answer to that question so far has been nothing but a resounding 'yes!'"
A resolution from the two boards in April and May stated that "after a period of prayer and discussion we, the executive committees of the respective Boards of Trustees of Western Seminary and Multnomah Bible College and Biblical Seminary, are united in sensing the Lord's leading to partner together in a united enterprise of theological education. Trusting in His timing, we affirm a process of moving forward to glorify the Lord and His Kingdom through the formation of a special task force."
The Task Force
The task force, which met for the first time on June 27th, is responsible for the studying, planning, and implementing of a consolidation plan to guide the boards through several stages of assessment, negotiation, agreement, and implementation while providing the stakeholder communities with timely information and communication.
Chaired by Dr. Lockwood, the task force will be comprised of key trustees, administrators, faculty, and alumni from each institution that will represent critical constituencies. The task force will report to the two boards of trustees on a regular basis with information and recommendations. President Emeritus of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Dr. Robert Cooley, who also works as an organizational consultant specializing in seminary education, has been retained to help facilitate this process. The task force aims to complete its work over the next two years.
Prayerful Consideration
"It is my sincere belief that the individuals involved on the executive committees at Western and Multnomah are not pursuing any agenda other than to discern God's will in this matter and to follow His leading," Multnomah's board chair Dr. Jack Dryden said. "We have been entrusted with the leadership of institutions that God has blessed and used for great good in the world."
Leaders from Multnomah and Western have been working together to determine how the consolidation may unfold. "This entire discussion began in prayer, genuinely seeking the Lord's guidance and wisdom," Dr. Tunnicliff said. "Prayer has continued to be at the forefront, not an after-thought."
"I think that after several months of talking and praying together the question of collaboration shifted from 'why should we do this?' to 'why not?'" Dr. Lockwood added.

Cooling temperatures mean more black widows indoors
This is the time of year when more black widow spiders are spotted inside homes, and it is due to the dropping temperatures.
According to James Whidden, owner of Mug-A-Bug Pest Control, black widows are common in Colorado and can be found around the siding on homes, window wells and garages. He said they build their nests near the ground.
To minimize the number of spiders, homeowners should walk the perimeter of the home and ensure there are no webs or cracks in weather stripping. Whidden also suggests using an insecticide on webs to eliminate the spider.
Whidden said a black widow bite is similar to a pinprick, and most people will not have a reaction to the bite. He also said black widows will not attack unless provoked.
"They're not an aggressive spider. They don't normally seek out and bite a human," said Whidden.
If homeowners encounter a black widow inside the home, vacuuming the spider and disposing of the vacuum bag is one way to get rid of it. He said one or two spiders per month is normal, but spotting spiders every two to three days would suggest a bigger problem that may require the assistance of an exterminator.

Hi all,
I like Kombucha Tea, mostly for its health benefits. But ... it can have a trace of alcohol (just as orange juice can). In addition, the scoby that gives Kombucha Tea its interesting properties is essentially a colony of living beings, and when I drink them, they probably all die.
So there are two potential precept pitfalls: Alcohol consumption, and killing. Anyone have any thoughts about this? My feeling is that the incidental alcohol content in things like orange juice is not something we need to consider in keeping the precept regarding alcohol consumption, and the bacterial and yeast beings do not need to be fastidiously saved in keeping the precept regarding killing.
Anyone else drink the stuff?
