buying first boat
By modern standards (last 20 years or so) 10,000 lbs is moderately heavy for a 35 footer. For example my 1983 38 footer has a design weight of 10,600 lbs. Weight really has very little to do with "pounding, bouncing, tender, sea sickness!" Those have more to do with weight distribution, hull shape, waterline beam and length of waterline. Because most of us experience light weight boats in the form of early light weight boats which were very dependent on form stability and generally had poor weight distribution, it is easy to come away with your impression of light weight boats.
The 382/383/384''s are nice all around boats. They do sail well with enough wind that are reasonably well built and offer a lot of boat for the money. As you say they are not a dog but to put their speed into perspective, at 7 knots of air, a more modern 38 foot design using a 110% jib will do over 7 knots upwind and will reach above a beam reach at close to 8 knots. In 12 knots of wind a more modern 38 footer (still using a 110% jib)will do close to 8 knots upwind and will reach above a beam reach at close to 9 knots and past a beam reach at closer to 8 knots.
Still we all go out there for our own reasons and if speed and light air performance is not important, the Morgan 382-384 are very nice boats.

I''m not a yacht designer only a cruiser, isn''t 10K displacement pretty light for a 35'' crusing boat? The rest of it sounds great though. My experience with light displacement is pounding, bouncing, tender, sea sickness! I own a Morgan 382 which displaces 17K. By my experience and according to all the books a moderate displacement boat will provide a better comfort level in a seaway.
Someone mentioned that the Morgan 382/383 series was lacking in cabin appointments and finish. Agreed, there are more nicely appointed interiors and there are much worse. I searched the $50K-60K range for 3 years for a cruising boat, must have looked at 100''s, finally setteled on the Morgan 382 1979 which I purchased in ''95 for $42K in pretty good shape. I sailed a 23ft Jeanneau Tonic for 10 years then jumped to this 38'' boat which only took me about 4 hours to become totally comfortable as it''s so easy to sail. I single hand it all over Chesapeake Bay and coastal. It''s not the perfect boat, but it''s an outstanding value and serves my purpose and plan. The Morgan 382 is no dog, not exactly a light air boat, but at 12kts it will sail 5 knots close hauled and 6 on a reach with 130% Genny. I would certainly buy another one.
Good luck in your search.

Everyone has given me a lot to think about!!I have set my criteria and know that there is no perfect boat but rather many great boats if one can compramise. What I am looking for is a boat that has the reputation of quality, being safe, and of a solid build. I dont need the fastest boat and I dont want alot of "gagets" to fix. I am now focusing on boats around 35 to 36 foot range.
I have just come across a 35'' 1985 Scanmar. She meets almost everything Im looking for including an aft cabin, 6''6 head room, displacement of 10,582, balast of 4,188, all working lines led to the cockpit w/ a cockpit reefing system, solid glass hull and a few others that are not on my list, but nice to have. The one thing it does have on the down size is a 5''10 draft. However, this is only a problem if I stay in the keys. Or is it?
Does anyone know the reputation of this boat and have any thoughts?

I agree with John. But I would like to add one more thing to say to Jerry "buy the boat that makes YOU happy". Not what every ones else says you should do. Obviously listen to all their input. But its your boat and you are the one thats going to be sitting on it, not them.
You will know its the right boat for you when everytime you go down to see "her", a smile will subconciously come to your face. I know becuase that''s what happens to me everytime I see my boat. It just makes me smile.
Good luck in your search and please keep us informed to your progress in looking at boats.
buying first boat
We are certainly getting away from Jerry''s question but suffice it to say there is no single right answer or boat and perhaps that is instructive for Jerry.
My criteria for selection of my boat were very complex and lengthy. I wanted a boat that would do a wide variety of things from long distance bluewater cruising to being a potential home for me. I do think Jerry is thinking along these lines. Also, I have a basic predjudice for heavy boats, this comes from my experience not just in sailing but in sea time on ships and small craft.
Jeff has an educated and technical point of view that is supported by data. I think he also realizes that many things are a personal choice. Without discussing differing points of view, how would any of us be able to decide on what is best for us. So I think this is a good discussion.
Would I have gotten a fractional rig if all things being equal? Not sure. I am not at all convinced that I want to wrestle with a larger main either when heading out or when it comes to handling it in a blow. With the roller furling jib (assuming of course it works) and my nice oversized Lewmars, I can trim the jib from the cockpit. Yes, the roller furling can fail (I have ProFurl though) and yes, as soon as you trim in you lose a certain amount of efficiency of the sail. But... as I weigh those factors against going up on deck for the main... I might chose the rig I have now... and getting the most out of my rig is not my goal in sailing (I hope that does not make me less of a sailor).
As for the Hood and light air...Jeff is certainly correct. I probably should have qualified that statement (although, honestly, I am impressed with her light air performance). The Hood 38 has good light air performance for a boat her size and considerable displacement (22,000 lbs)... and Ted Hood is known for designing boats (Bristol 35.5) that have this quality.
As for tenderness, remember, the boat in FLA was highly modified in a BAD way by the owner, including a monsterous and heavy contraption on the stern extending high off the deck to change her cg and righting moment (I suspect).
I actually think this has been a very good discussion for Jerry. He can see that there are different schools of thought, there is no perfect boat (they are all compromises) and everything is relative. And when looking at boats, look closely for things the owner did that seriously detract from the boats seaworthiness (trust me, the list is long).
Incidentally, this very debate is why I suggested Jerry go through a process of deciding on his personal needs and criteria first.
My best to all.
Hope this helps.

While I agree in principle that what NJCiscoKid is another valid way to go, for the record, I do want to point out that there is nothing about a lighter weight boat that would suggest that it is less stable nor that a lighter boat necessarily sails on her ear. (Ask John Drake about the heavy boat he test sailed in Florida.)
While there is *nothing*inherently wrong with a simple rig that has a mainsail w/overlapping genny, they are much harder to single-hand in that you are dragging a much bigger sail across the boat on each tack and a big genoa is harder to depower. As conditions worsen it means dealing with a poorly shaped partially rolled up genoa or a sail change to smaller sail. With a mildly bendy fractional rig you can often get by with a smaller non-overlapping jib in a wider range of conditions, powering up and down quite easily. A mildly bendy rig, does not necessarily require running back stays (I don''t have runners) or a lot of tweeking. Fractional rigs are actually simplier to tune since you have two less stays to deal with. A backstay adjuster on a mildly bendy rig gets pretty intuitive, you pull it in until the helm goes neutral, then you stop. Want more feel or a little more speed, then you let it out.
I posted my process not to say that it was exactly the right answer for JerryCooper14''s boat but to talk about one form that a search process for a similar boat had taken. Much of what I was looking for in a boat I would equate to having more tools at my disposal.
Its a bit like deciding on a pocket knife. For years I carried a simple three blade Boy Scout Whittler. Then someone got me a Swiss Army knife. I liked having some of the tools on the knife at my disposal but many of the gizmo''s I never use. Then one day I found a leatherman lying in the street. It is a tremendously handy tool but frankly it is not a very good knife in some ways, I found that I never used most of the tools on it, and it proved too bulky to carry so I went back to the Swiss Army knife.
In the same way, more modern designed boats and hardware offer a lot of tools. For some these extra tools are handy but for others its just a lot of extra stuff that they can''t or don''t want to use. There no one universally right answer here, just differing points of view.
But I do agree, that depending on your goals, (i.e. if part of your goals does not include learning sail trim and boat handling) then for many people and perhaps even most people you can get by with a simplier heavier boat.

Hey I think the Bristol 38.8, Little Harbor 38 & the Wauquiez Hood 38 are all very nice boats. But I think they are getting out of jerrycooper14 original budget of around 65,000 ?..... Unless I am wrong.....I think you would be hard pressed to find one under $85k (Unless of course it needed a little help....)
And I think everyone is getting away from his initial desire to find a boat to live aboard and coastal cruise in the Keys/USVI NOT around Cape Horn. And since this is his first boat I don''t think he needs one with a PHRF rated under 100. Also there is *nothing* inherently wrong with a simple rig that has a mainsail w/overlapping genny. And with the right boat I wouldn''t say that they are hard to singlehand (Unless they were overcanvassed). On the contrary a little heavier (D/L) boat with this setup can be easily singlehanded albiet with a less than exciting light air capability. A lighter boat that "sails on her ear" and very bendy spars might be the ultimate singlehander for a very experienced sailor . But how much experience do you have with "tweeking" your mast on the fly?... Do you have experience with running backstays? How about a backstay adjuster? Do you understand the dynamics of tuning these under sail in different conditions? Who knows, you might be doing more harm than good?
I think for most sailors, simple is better. Get a little heavier, simple, stable boat. You will sail more comfortably , maybe a little slower in light air. But after a few years if stellar performance is what you are looking for and you have the funds available, then you can move into one of the more "performance" orientated boats.

All of the four of the 38 foot Hood/Empacter designs; Bristol 38.8, Gulfstar 38, Wauquiez 38 and Little Harbor 38 are nice boats. they all derive from one of Hood''s ''Robins'', which were his own personal race boats and I believe in the case of the four boats above an IOR one tonner.
There are number of subtle differences in these boats in terms of displacement, bow overhands, and sail area. There were also some big differences in build quality as well with the Little Harbors generally thought to have the nest build quality.
I would disagree a bit with John Drake on one point. None of these boats are considered good light air boats. While Hood was known for minimizing drag in a heavy displacement boat by the use of very rounded sections, these boats still have a lot of weight and a lot of wetted surface for their sail area. While they are boats that sail very well in a moderate breeze, light air is not thier strong suit.
While these are really nice boats in a lot of ways, I also do not think that they make ideal singlehanders. Their small mainsail, stiff spars, and heavy dependence on large overlapping jibs make them difficult boats to sail single-handed.
buying first boat
Let me admit my bias towards the (my) Wauquiez and lack of experience with the LH up front.
The Bristol 38.8 and Little Harbor 38 (Ted Hood''s own company) both have PHRF''s of 126 whereas the Wauquiez Hood 38 is 129 (NE PHRF). Don''t know much about the Little Harbor but the Bristol is a bit lighter has a few more inches of beam. All the info I have read on the three boats has stated that they are essentially the same below the water line.
The Hood 38''s all have a reputation for being good in light air. I have found that to be true of my boat (a Wauquiez Hood 38). I understand this was a specific Ted Hood goal in designing the boat. I could not be more pleased with mine. I personally do not see any reason why the Bristol goes for more money. I think it is just paying for the Bristol name and cost of an American build. The Wauquiez boats are slightly better priced because when they first were sold the dollar was very strong against the Franc. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find a Mark II ver of the Wauquiez w/o the teak deck.
As for quality, I cannot imagine that the Bristol or Little Harbor 38''s could be of any significantly greater quality than the Wauquiez. If they are, they certainly must be at least roughly equivalent to each other. The Wauquiez Hood 38 has beautiful and very nicely finished joinery below and carries excellent hardware. Some of it IS French, if that is an issue. I personally prefer the layout of the Wauquiez. They layouts of the Bristol 38.8 and Little Harbor Hood 38 that I have seen show straight settee''s in the saloon and a simple qtr berth aft - simply Yacht 101 design. The Wauquiez has a private aft qtr cabin with quite a lot of elbow room. The saloon has a C shaped dinette which, in my view, lends more livability to the boat. Don''t know about the Bristol or LH but the Vee berth on the Wauquiez is huge.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

There has been some recent discussion of the Hood 38, and a reference in another thread that the Bristol 38.8 and Little Harbor 38 are sisterships of the Hood 38. Does anyone know much about the Little Harbor 38? There are a few of these for sale right now, and they appear to be priced slightly below the Bristols. Any input on quality and performance comparisons between these boats. Does the Bristol and Little Harbor have similar PHRF ratings to the Hood? Do all 3 boats perform about the same in light air?

Pet Gates and Crates
They say pet gates are a gateway gate. You get a pet gate and then all the sudden you want more gates. You want gates for your house and gates for your yard and more and more and more. But pet gates are also really helpful. And so are crates.

I can offer up a hunt in Mexico that is world class for waterfowl or upland birds. We hunt pheasants from Mid oct to mid Nov. All wild birds and lots of them. Or how about duck hunting via airboat or mudboat depending on where we go. Lots of puddle ducks and zero pressure from other hunters. It's safe as i know this is a big new item with the problems in mexico. You can shoot my guns and more or less just have to show up
I am open to anything! big game or birds

Anyone know if the passlock system disables the injectors as well as the fuel pump? Seems as if it would be simple enough to just bypass the fuel pump circuit and install an ignition switch controlled fuel pump relay (with an inertia switch in the circuit for safety) and eliminate the computer, and thus the passlock, from the system.
|What I meant was that the generic key made no difference andt when it does not start changing the key did not help. The puzzling part is that the one remaining factory key that came with the car is not a coded key, I even cracked the plastic off it to make sure it was not and sure enough there is nothing but the hard plastic tab and metal blade. That's why I was asking if there is another anti-theft system besides the pass-lock which has the coded key?
Mom's Malibu did the same thing.
Oldred, my mother's 2000 Malibu did the same thing. The problem was the original equipment, coded key. We had a key that was a copy made at Home Depot - not coded - and never had a problem when using that key. You mentioned that the "Wally world" key seems to work fine. If that's the case, just get rid of the original key.
Malibu start problem
OK guys sorry for a non-hotrod question but I have reached the limits of my patience with this one. First the problem, my niece's 2002 Malibu runs fine after starting but won't restart on occasion after stopping and on rare occasions does this even when the engine is cold, after sitting about a half hour or so or sometimes even overnight it will start normally. Researching this problem seems to always lead to the pass-lock security system but apparently this car does not have that system, or at least it does not use a special coded key and the generic key from Wally World seems to work just fine, however it does have a "anti-theft" warning light that comes on (but does not flash) whenever the key is first turned on. The failure to start is fuel related as the fuel pump relay does not activate (which is what a pass-lock system failure causes) but the computer does not set any codes and the fuel system circuit seems to check ok for power/ground at every point except for the computer ground signal for activation, this is assuming the computer grounds the relay for activation as is the usual way these systems operate. Any ideas/suggestions? Is there another type of anti-theft system used on these GM cars besides the Pass-lock that does not use a coded key?

So TCLr's, lemme tell you how this transvestite love story goes...
Right around this time of year in 2008, I was going about my usual business of messing around with cars when I came across an old Porsche for sale. As it turns out, a friend of mine knew the owner from the track and P-Club events. My friend went on to tell me that the car is a lightweight 911 that seemed to be exceptionally quick for a MFI 2.7. Having always regreted selling my old Carrera, my interest was immediately piqued.
I inquired about the car and the owner explained to me that it was a rare, "factory sun roof-delete car" with a nice exhaust and some weight saving mods. I don't like my cars to be any other color than black and this car was white, so I wasn't really that interested. The owner however, offered to take me for a ride in the car. Thinking me a serious buyer, he even offered to let me take it for a spin. Next day, I was there with bells and whistles on.
Since I'm not really into white cars, I had it in my mind that this intimate encounter with the car was strictly for fun and that it wasn't gonna be no long term relationship, lol! Needless to say, I was wrong. After just once around the block, I fell in love and bought the car.
(Edit) This is a pic of the actual car.
I was in heaven! This was sheer bliss! The sound of the air-cooled motor above 5k rpm's! ... the thrill of a light weight 911!... The feeling of that old torsion bar suspension as it sets up to launch the car out of a turn!!... This was TRUE love. I felt like I was driving a real '73 RS on the way to work every day. Even though the car had no A/C, I was happy!.. oh so very happy to drive her every single day. We sure had some hot, sweaty times in the summer.. but she was my girl. All she needed was a coat of black paint, and she'd be perfect. Sometime in 2009, I took her to the body shop to get that paint job. Nothing was ever the same again.
An astute mechanic noticed that the car was not a "rare, factory sun roof- delete" car, but it was actually a 1976 Porsche 912.
I was duped! Bamboozled!! This was no rare Porsche!! It wsn't even a 911!! It was an imposter!!! A transvestite !!! A 911 wannabe!! It was nothing more than the ultimate un-sleeper!! A bastard, red-headed stepchild of a car, playing dress up!! (vestis= latin for dress / clothes).

A report by the Australian Institute of Family reveals many students dismiss sexual assaults as merely part of the rough and tumble life one associates with being in school. The Institute estimates that one out of seven Australian girls has been the victim of sexual violence, but most are reluctant to report these incidents either because the know the name of the perpetrator of they don't believe their story will be believed by authorities. According to the report, about 14% of people aged between 12 and 20 have been sexually assaulted mostly by people they know. "The abuse of young people by people in authority has been the focus of public concern," said Daryl Higgins of the Institute, "however, sexual assault between young people at parties in dating relationshipsis often still not acknowledged."
The Institute believes in the majority of cases when sexual assault occurs off school grounds much less attention is paid, mainly because school officials do not believe dealing with such incidents if part of their job.

'A Sabres spokesman said there had been no developments as of 1:30 p.m. Saturday and was not sure if the team would hold a news conference. Hasek was at his suburban Buffalo home awaiting word. The Sabres gave permission to Hasek's agent, Rich Winter, to speak on a limited basis to other teams.'
Archives for June 2001
Sabres' decision on Hasek goes down to wire
Will Hasek, Ray, Andreychuk put on a different jersey?
'The Sabres also hold a club option on future Hall of Famer Dave Andreychuk. And fan favorite Rob Ray, an unrestricted free agent, is contemplating retirement, especially if he isn't brought back.'
Sabres make offers to Methot, Van Oene
'The Sabres yesterday made qualifying offers to center Francois Methot, the Amerks' leading scorer last season, and left winger Darren Van Oene. The procedural offers mean the team will retain their rights even if the players reject the contract proposals.'
Blues might chase Blake again if they don't get Hasek
'If the Sabres are going to deal Hasek, the best time to do so is now.'
Ray, Andreychuk await Sabres' word
'Rob Ray, the Buffalo Sabres all-time penalty-minutes leader, expects to become an unrestricted free agent Sunday. That doesn't mean he won't stay in Buffalo.'
Hasek waits, Sabres keep on moving
'As for Hasek, the six-time Vezina Trophy winner will walk as an unrestricted free agent if the Sabres don't pick up his $9 million option or work out some sort of trade before midnight Saturday.'
Blues make offer to Turgeon, stay in hunt for Hasek
'The thrifty Sabres probably will keep Hasek's rights. They then would have 3 1/2 months to work a trade before owing him a penny. NHL players draw their salaries in two-week installments in the regular season, which opens in October.'
Wings eyeing Dominator
'Sources have told FOXSports.com that the Red Wings are still very much interested in Hasek and are looking to try and get a deal done via trade or with cash should the Buffalo Sabres goalie come onto the market via unrestricted free agency on July 1.'
Hasek keeps everyone guessing
'The Sabres have the option of trading Hasek before then. But what team would swing that deal today if it can go after Hasek as an unrestricted free agent on Sunday?'
Sabres retain rights to 10 players, including Satan, Zhitnik
'Along with Hasek, the Sabres have yet to determine whether to exercise a one-year option on veteran forward Dave Andreychuk.'
Sabres exercise options on D Smehlik, RW Varada
'The Buffalo Sabres have exercised the contract options on defenseman Richard Smehlik and left wing Vaclav Varada, the team announced Thursday.'
Two Sabres highlight Friendship Fest
'Buffalo Sabres hockey players Rob Ray and Martin Biron will be among the featured attractions at the Friendship Festival [in Fort Erie] this weekend.'
Buffalo roots taking hold on newest Sabre
'It's no wonder the Bills and Sabres have so many out-of-town booster clubs. We might not have many jobs left here, but we take Buffalo with us wherever we land because we know Western New York isn't just a snowy place in February. It's a state of mind.'
Once again, Sabres raise ticket prices
'The team announced Tuesday that season tickets would increase an average of 4 percent over 2000-2001 prices. Prices at the box office are scheduled to go up an average of 8 percent.'
Finances may push Hasek out the door
'He's the best goalie in hockey for a defensive-minded team that wants him but can't justify paying him without alienating its fan base and imploding its hermetic budget.'

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Andofanatic, Apr 16, 2013.
Who do you consider the best female skater ever. My choice is Miki Ando!
Kim Yuna is the best, for me
WTF why is Miki Ando even on this list? Then i saw that it was Andofanatic who created the poll.
Each skater was great in her own way and in that period in history. It's not accurate to compare Yuna to Sonja Henie.
Who had deeper edges than Dorothy Hamill? She's my choice.
Miki Ando ?
Yu Na Kim. Kwan shouldn't win every single poll that has her in.
Carolina Kostner Her musicality is amazing and she have best programs.
I like Yu-Na, Michelle, Suzuka Arakava and Mao too
It is sad to see a poll like this and Janet Lynn, Dorothy Hamill, and Peggy Fleming with only 1 vote each and Irina Slutskaya with 10. So much partiality by people towards the recent stars (Kim, Kwan, Slutskaya) and against more past champions who were equally great or even greater in their own eras. Miki Ando on a poll like this and Madge Syers, Carol Heiss, and Herma Szabo not on it? A travesty.
Wanda Beazel gets my vote
Yes she should.
Hasn't this poll been done before? I voted for Kwan, but I'll change my mind to Kim if she wins the 2018 Olympics as well. I know Katarina's got two Olympic golds, but her quality just wasn't as good as Kwan's or Kim's.
Too bad it ain't happening.
This is the hundredth time this poll has been done.
sorry double post
Trixi Schuba or Midori Ito ... the others are just prettier.
One more for Wanda Beazel
No matter what...it will always be Irina for me
The great Trixi Schuba should have been on the poll. The greatest compulsory figures skater in history at a time compulsory figures was the most important aspect of the sport.
Why wasn't Madge Sayre on the poll? If she wasn't able to hold her own against the big boys, like Ulrich Salcow, there wouldn't be a ladies single event.
IIRC a male World Champion knew she actually performed better and gave her his gold medal.
Ad nauseam ... the inventor of the layback spin and camel spin as well as the first lady to perform a double jump and first to perform a one footed Axel by anyone should be on this list.
Ando is there but No Carolina ???
Get over it.
No Janet Lynn love? Seriously? She got my vote.
Wasn't that Salchow himself, in 1902?
Heh de ja vous or what!!! I vote for ... MIKI ANDO!!!
How many people want to bet there will be at least 5 more variations of this poll before the end of the summer?

My dad has been diagnosed with Anoplastic carcinoma thyroid cancer. Its a very rare cancer and has little to no treatment.
I talked to him tonight and the bad part about it is I know, my mom knows, my 2 sisters know, but he doesn't find out until tomorrow.
Tomorrow my dad has to go to a doctor who is going to tell him that he has about 3-6 months to live.
I didn't think it was right for him not to know, but he had a heart attack last year and my mom is afraid that he may have another when he gets the news so wants to be at the doctors office when he finds out. Talking to him on the phone tonight and not losing it may have been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
My grandparents on my dads side lived to 95 (grandpa) and just six months shy of 100 (grandma). So I never really saw anything like this coming on. He'll be 78 in Oct. so its just kind of one of those things where you think you still have so much time left.
I just keep flashing back on memories and breaking down. All day long I've thought about going to Ross Cinema in Evansville, IN with him to see ROTJ when it came out. I was 8.
I would greatly appreciate anybody's thoughts and prayers for him. Anything to put some positive energy out there and make it easier in any way, shape, or form.
AND PLEASE! Never take one moment for granted. You never know when the last moment will be.
Thank you everybody.

I definitely will try easing and adding belly to both sails. Thanks, all, for the advice.
During a race last Saturday, we were trailing the pack (as usual) on an upwind leg of the course, so we had a good view of how the other boats were sailing. The course was around Hart Island, just east of City Island in western Long Island Sound. Virtually the entire fleet was able to sail to the north end of the course on a single tack. One or two other boats had to tack maybe once or twice; we had to tack nine times! Needless to say, DFL was ours for the taking!
We had the genoa (a 160) sheeted in so as to touch the forward shroud, then we'd ease a tad. The boat was aimed so that the telltales on both sides of the jib were streaming nicely, the uppers as well as the lowers. The telltales on the leech of the main were also streaming straight back, so I think she was trimmed properly. But we still need maybe 110 degrees to tack, and can only think about sailing less than 45 degrees off the wind. And maybe this is all she can do, as designed.
At the post-race raft-up, with a few coldies under our belts, one of our club members, the one who perpetually has a firm hold on 1st place, says, "There's lots of things you can do to make your boat point better." But I couldn't get any specifics out of him. Or at least, I don't remember any.
So I thought I'd throw it out to the message board. Any tips on how to make a cruiser go to weather better?
As always, TIA for any advice.
We're a fat cruiser as well. In a couple of recent races in a bout 10 kts, we were showing a little more boat speed than a Catalina 36-2 when on a reach, comparable down wind. But she out-pointed us enough to beat us across the line. We won on corrected time, though. We only had two more tacks than her. In last week-end's race, in lighter air, we had 8 more tacks than she did, so we weren't even close.
I definitely will try easing and adding belly to both sails. Thanks, all, for the advice.
|Bottom is clean, scratch that idea. Could you comment on boat speed? Granted you are not pointing as high as others but is your speed comparable? How much "extra" stuff do you have in the boat? Full water and fuel tanks etc.? A 1000' all chain rode and a monster storm anchor swinging off the bow? Occaisionally I'm amazed at how much crap gets stowed on my boat in lockers over time. I'm on a 31' and can really feel the difference of taking a few hundred pounds off the boat, especially weight out of the cockpit lockers. What about your crew weight? In light winds some boats actually point higher by moving human ballast to the low side in order to induce more heel. Have you tried to just ease everything off a bit to put in a little more belly/power into your sails? Although it seems counter to logic actually easing the outhaul and putting a little belly in my main actually helps with my boat's speed which then translates into a few more degrees of pointing. I've had good success with unconventional alterations of sail trim on my boat, a short fat cruiser, that would have horrible results on the small J boats that I race on. If you are running DFL anyway in your next race, that would be a good time to experiment with everything you can, halyards, vang, outhaul, cunningham, jib cars etc... You'll eventually find the combo she likes.
We clean the bottom every Spring, whether it needs it or not! The main is only a couple of years old, nothing high-tech, but not blown out. The jib was old when we bought her, 8 years ago. Doyle says it servicable, but the leech and foot were built to be sacrificial and need to be replaced.
I had a barber hauler on my Prindle 16' beach cat and thought about the idea of pulling the jib sheet in with such an arrangement. As things stand now, I don't think the jib would clear the spreader, but I need to get the jib recut this off-season and I could specify that. It would result in a smaller sail, and the PO said she came to life when he put the 160 on. I don't know what the sail was that he replaced, possibly a 135. Based on what he told me, I wouldn't want to go too small.
In light air, I pull the traveller to windward to keep the boom centered and always thought I benefited from that. But recent racing has shown that we drop back when I do, and keep better pace with the traveller centered. This has been in the 9 - 10 kt range. Maybe in 7 - 8 kts, I benefit from the windward position, but I'll have to try that in a race to really see.

Assuming the bottom is clean are you able to at least match boat speed with other vessels in the fleet with a similar rating even though you can't point as high?
"Do you have as narrow a sheeting angle as possible, usually provided by inside tracks ( a track located along the cabin sides...)
Very Good point by sailing fool ....
the P323 has a 'wide body' and sheeting to the rail 'may' locate the clew of the jib/genoa to be 'outside' of the nominal "10° line" from the tack of the genoa away from the boats' Center line. You wont have 'inside genoa tracks' on a Shaw design P323 but you can use a 'barber hauler' ..... and such usage to precisely trim with a barber hauler is described in the "Are you at optimum trim?" article listed in my first post. ... but you will need a small enough area genoa so that its leech wont 'hang up' on the spreader when such is sheeted 'inside' the rail, or the genoa has to be recut (with sufficient 'leech hollow' so that the upper leech can easily pass IN FRONT of the spreader(s) when sheeted 'inside the rail'. -- Very common on most modern 'high end' racing boats.)
We had the genoa (a 160) sheeted in so as to touch the forward shroud, then we'd ease a tad. The boat was aimed so that the telltales on both sides of the jib were streaming nicely, the uppers as well as the lowers. The telltales on the leech of the main were also streaming straight back, so I think she was trimmed properly. But we still need maybe 110 degrees to tack, and can only think about sailing less than 45 degrees off the wind. And maybe this is all she can do, as designed.
Do you have as narrow a sheeting angle as possible, usually provided by inside tracks ( a track located along the cabin sides...)
BIG genoas are VERY inefficient for beating and require a LOT of 'slot' distance to optimize the airstream flow over the main. How to tell that the genoa is too big .... watch the leech tell tales and if the lee side leech tales are drooping = the flow at the leech is now 'separating' from the genoa at the leech. The main then cannot 'bootstrap' (velocity dumping) with the genoa properly ... and the whole sail combo 'fizzles'. Try using a smaller Genoa when you are racing, especially on windward/leeward courses.
You can 'peel' to a large genoa 'after' the windward mark if this is a 'no spinnaker' race.

2005 ZES Rolling Idle, Lack of Power
My Fiance's 2005 ZX4 SES has been a great car so far. We purchased it last Feb. As April rolled around, she started having some issues though.
First, the idle began to "roll" at a stop. It didn't matter if you just started the car, came to a stop light, had been driving for hours and then stopped, it would roll up and down (down to a very rough idle). This seemed to be worse to her if it was raining. We took it into the dealership and they said it was a "characteristic of the engine." I have rented many of them before and never remember that issue. I wasn't completely satisfied, but she kept driving it.
A month or so ago, the engine began to bog down bad. She would occasionally go to pull out into traffic and the car would go nowhere. The engine wouldn't even rev, then it would take off. The worst of these instances she stepped on the gas to the floor and nothing happened for 45+ seconds then it took off and she smelled a gas smell (no smoke though).
We took it back to the dealer, told them about both issues, they gave her a loaner car and worked on it for 3 days. They were very nice, said they reproduced the rolling idle issue and needed some parts. When they were done, they couldn't reproduce the issue in the shop, but on her way home, she had the rolling idle issue again. She hasn't experienced the bog down issue, but hasn't driven it that much since getting it back.
I called the dealer and they said they called the ford hotline, replaced a computer, and to try it for a week. I told them we will try to to the next oil change (about 3 weeks) and then see where it is at.
Does anyone have any insight on this? She loves the car and I'm satisfied with the customer service of the dealer (have bought many cars from them before), I just wish they could fix the problem too :)
Thanks for your help
Here are the tech specs:
2005 ZX4 SES 4dr sedan
antilock brakes
Work the dealer did (off the service sheet):
Concern 51- Check rolling idel when first started or even after driving for awhile & coming to a stop worse when raining
Cause- Rolling Idel
- EEC (Quick Test)- Diagnosis
- Extra time to complete final quick test
- Powertrain control module (PCM) - Replace
- Pin Pont test- Diagnosis
- Recorder/Monitor Road Test- Diagnosis
Comment-- /TSB's Found, Call Hotline, Replace PCM, Reprogram Pats Keys
Factory-- Condition code: 42, Fail code: D36
Concern 52- C/S stopped at light when light turned green, stepped on gas no response and engine did not rev up, 60 seconds later car responsed and moved, happened 2x
Cause- Check for lack of power
Correction- Test drive unable to verify concern, Test EEC, no codes, call hotline
Comment- No know cases, no problem found at this time

Maris Profondus was most likely a sea, near Maris Cristallus and the Archipelago Ridiculus. This sea was supposedly explored by Gilderoy Lockhart who wrote about his "adventure" in Travels with Trolls. This expedition was, however a feat stolen by Lockhart from another wizard, which memory was erased. Maris Profundus was included on the map featured on the cover of Travels with Trolls.
- "Mare maris" means "sea" in Latin. "Profundus" is Latin for "deep"; "profound"; "boundless".

|Rob Williams
That said, based on what you said there, it sounds like brown is right up my alley.
|Yeah, I also heard about the Cherry MX Brown they announced... now if only I could find a store that stocked at least 2-3 of these Cherry MX keyboard types! I've had it with my current keyboard and plan to get something better...
Cherry MX Browns are on the way!
According to a CM rep, there is a Cherry MX Brown Due out by the end of This month, or the first week of next month. GREAT. I'm shipping back my Blue version and getting the brown.
The problem with a new mouse always comes back to the 'break-in' period, actually getting used to a new grip. Unless you buy an identical mouse, there will always be a transitional period - even if you buy something 'similar'. That period is about 2 weeks of regular use. Your hand will be sore for the first couple days typically. If you still have problems after 2 weeks, then yes, it may be worth switching to something else.
My first gaming mouse was actually the trend-setter, the Razer Boomslang; ambidextrous, massive buttons, flat and long, took me a while to get used to it, switching from the array of arched mice that is most common today. The second one I used for a good while was the Razer Lachesis, which is similar to the DeathAdder.
At the moment, i'm using that R.A.T.7 and that can certainly conform to a flat and long mouse but with the benefit of the 'pinky' rest - for your little finger. After using the rest as a hook, it works well for high DPI settings, since when you go to clench your hand, your little finger is one of the first fingers to move, so quick back movements become easier to perform. Just wish the software was a little better.
As for the Corsair M60, we'll be getting one of those in to review soon, along with the other peripherals in the Vengeance set (M/K60, M/K90), so I can look into any areas you have concerns over. The CM mice, you'll have to ask Rob about.
With regard to mechanical differences, I'm no expert, but I can give you a rundown of what the basic differences are. There are 4 in total in the Cherry range, going from Blue, Brown, Black and Red. Blue and Brown are the traditional non-linear 'typist' switches which have the mid-way 'bump' for feedback. Brown is the lighter switch of the two, requiring less pressure to activate. Blue also has the very audible 'click'. Black and Red are the linear switches with no 'Bump'. Red has the lightest activation pressure with reduced noise (and most expensive), Black is a stiffer key type with reduced noise. So for gaming, the 'best' switch is Red, due to low noise, no feedback, linear and minimal activation, it's just very hard to get a full keyset with them.
The only other keyset worth mentioning is the Topre keys, which are rubber-dome capacitive switches which are the quietest of the lot, but with feedback for typists.
Ten Keyless is just what I've been waiting for
The next closest Ten Keyless was $110, but i could have gotten the brown switches I had my eye on, however, I have never had a mechanical keyboard before, so I think I will love blue. I just ordered it today, will be here tuesday.
My real question is on the mouse. I have only used a DeathAdder since switching from my original Dell Laser mouse 5 years ago. they tend to wear out quickly. but they are incredibly comfortable and accurate. I play mostly COD games, and can go 50-0 or better, and is rare I am not called a hacker in game (I dont hack).
But I am considering either the Corsair M60, the new Storm Spawn mouse ($20 right now is a good deal), or maybe the other CM mouse you mentioned you had in the review. I am a very weird grip, I rest my palm on the corner of my desk, and use kind of a long finger/palm grip. I do have somehwat long fingers so this has been very comfortable on the deathadder.
I also have the Sirus Headset, my first Headset costing more than $20, and man did it make a HUGE difference in what I could hear, and how good things sounded.
This is my rig: http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/...inheath/r3.png
|Red switches are the closest you'll get. The still have the same amount of travel but almost no resistance and dead quiet although because of the lack of resistance you tend to get a clack when the key travels to the maximum depth. Kind of like hitting a stopper.
|Rob Williams
Thanks, good job on a tough type of review. I'd like to read more about the types of switches, since the durability of a mechanical keyboard is a strong selling point. I could see it being important to know a bit about switches before buying.
Are there mechanical keyboard switches that are short throw and as quiet as domes? I guess this would be the type I'd be most interested in.
Speaking of longevity, that's part of what makes reviewing keyboards so difficult: there's such a variance in durability, esp. for hardcore gaming. Once you find a keyboard you like, how long it will last is high up on the list. By the time the concensus is "that's a great product," it's usually off the market. This makes knowing about switches even more important.
|This keyboard was expected back in November if memory serves me so who knows when or even if the Trigger will be released but if it does, it could be a winner. Here's hoping for ONLY red switches on that model. No clicks and a hair rigger.
|Rob Williams
|I liked the review but didn't give the numpad a thought ... that's a deal killer me also. A lot of graphic software use keys on the numpad for predefined views. I might be able to adopt but not worth a $80 gamble.
|No numpad is a deal breaker for me too. After using the SHIFT for a while, you really notice the lack of a numpad... Still, nothing stopping us from getting a dedicated USB numpad.
|Rob Williams
|I love this keyboard's design, but the lack of macros and a numpad make it a non-option. I don't use macros much, but I still need them for certain things. And a numpad... I use that thing religiously, in and out of games (numpad tends to be more important for MMOs).
|Rob Williams
CM Storm QuickFire Rapid Gaming Keyboard Review
CM's QuickFire Rapid gaming keyboard is unlike any other. It's not flashy, it doesn't have a bunch of bright LEDs, it has no macro support and... it has no numpad. So what is it that sets it apart? Its sturdy design and use of CHERRY MX blue mechanical key switches. Let's see if those features make up for what's lacking.
Read through Ryan's in-depth look at Cooler Master's QuickFire Rapid gaming keyboard and then discuss it here!

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by inthemiddle, Sep 29, 2010.
According to Aunt Joyce Evan was injured:
This is really bad news. I wish him the speedy recovery.
Poor guy. I hope everything turns out fine. I wish him a speedy recovery.
Get well soon, Evan! Hope there is nothing really bad.
Yikes! That must have been traumatic to have happen, for both of them! And traumatic to witness! Hopefully, as with athletes and medicine these days, he can recover and skate without a problem.
Oh dear - this sounds pretty serious.
I hope he's able to recover quickly. I love S&B and was so looking forward to seeing their new programs this season.
Oh, no! That's horrible. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
That is absolutely awful.
May he have a speedy recovery.
Hope he will be OK soon.
I cant waite to see there competition with D-W at Nationals, but with this injury......
Oh no. Hope the surgery/rehab are successful.
So do I! A complete and speedy recovery to Evan!
Sliced it through the boot?
Poor Evan and Emily. I hope he has a speedy recovery...
OW OW OW. Poor guy. I hope his recovery is complete and quick. What rotten luck.
that is very sad news
hopefully he can recover quickly and it isn't very serious. It is easy to forget that this can be quite a dangerous sport.
Dance boots are cut low in the back to allow for better toe point. Most likely she nailed him just above the boot. Ouch (shudder). Best wishes to Evan for a speedy and complete recovery. Is this not the second time theyve had a cut injury? I seem to remember something about them withdrawing from a competition because Emily had been cut.
This sounds so serious. Get well, Evan. We'll miss your smiling face until you're back on the ice again.
He skated over her fingers.
I hope this isn't extrememly serious and he can get back on the ice soon after his recovery and physical therapy. (((Evan & Emily)))
Exactly how I would have said it.
I don't want to be alarmist, but achilles tendon injuries are not a simple recovery. For a singles skater (Bonaly, Derochie) that can effectively end your career as much of your jumping goes away. For pairs/dancers, better chance to return to competition but I believe mobility can be affected.
I love love love this couple and wish them a full recovery. Don't care how long it takes....let it heal....even if it means to forget this season.
Darn. This sounds bad. I hope he gets well soon.
My feelings exactly.
I wish him a complete recovery.
I really hope that Evan can recover fully from this. I was really interested in seeing how S/B had progressed this season.
Ouch, that sounds horrible! Poor guy.
Best wishes to a full recovery.
So sad to hear this.
I hope he recovers quickly. I was so looking forward to their programs this season.
This makes me feel really queasy. I'd be surprised to see them back this season with achilles surgery -- the rehab is a ****. So sad.
I know, upon reading that it was a sliced achilles, my first thought was that they'll be out for the season.
Oh my God. This is devastating news.
Plus, if you have a surgery on the achilles tendon the recovery itself is very painful...I'm so sorry for him
I hope the surgery will find out the damage was not very serious

Husband and wife meet at Wayne Law, work together to support alumni and students
FEATURE RELEASE (Dec. 13, 2010) – Wayne State University Law School alumni Rose and Peter Houk, both graduates of the Class of '69, know how to keep a secret. The couple met as students at Wayne Law, but didn't tell anyone they were dating until they sent out their wedding invitations right before their last year. "We told no one about our relationship, because we wanted to preserve our privacy and not be the brunt of the usual jokes that one might expect in that environment," Rose said.
But one thing they want everyone to know about is the value of a Wayne Law education. Together, they are working to spread the word about the Law School and the Wayne Law Alumni Association to graduates in the Lansing area, where they live. This summer, they co-hosted an alumni gathering that attracted more than 40 guests who reconnected with their alma mater and learned of exciting Law School news and initiatives.
"Our goal is to help Wayne Law reach out to its alumni in the Greater Lansing area," Rose said. "Hopefully, the rest of the graduates will, like us, remember the opportunities afforded to them by their legal education at Wayne Law and become supporters of and advocates for the Law Alumni Association and the Law School, too."
"Alumni like Rose and Peter are so important in helping us reach out to our graduates all over the state and the country," said Wayne Law Alumni Officer Kathryn Koehler. "The personal connections they make and their commitment are tremendous benefits to us in planning future events and initiatives."
The Houks linked up with their alma mater when asked to help plan their class's 40th reunion last year. Connecting with old friends was definitely the highlight of the reunion for the couple. "It is still hard to believe that all of us have gone about our lives for 40+ years," Rose said. "It seems like yesterday that we graduated, took the bar together and went out to save the world."
Today, Rose and Peter are helping other students do just that. They were recently honored at the 2010 Anthony Wayne Society Charter Night for giving to the Law School's Public Interest Law Fellowships.
The couple moved to Lansing after receiving their degrees from Wayne Law. Rose worked for the Greater Lansing Legal Aid Bureau for two years, then started her own practice, and later worked in the Michigan Attorney General's office. Peter worked as an assistant attorney general for the state of Michigan, city attorney for the city of Lansing, and Ingham county prosecutor. He was appointed to the 30th Circuit Court in 1986 where he served until 2002, including eight years as chief judge. He now practices part-time with Frasier Treblicock Davis and Dunlap PC, concentrating on alternative dispute resolution.
Both believe their Wayne Law education played a key role in their success as attorneys.
"It was a fabulous education," Peter said. "The professors prepared me for a number of judges that I encountered along the way. They were demanding and taught you how to think on your feet and not be intimidated by authority." He credits his participation in Moot Court as especially valuable. "The experience honed research and writing skills, and when I was a young assistant attorney general those skills paid handsome dividends."
Rose was one of only six women enrolled at Wayne Law at the time. "I got to know everyone in the class because they all knew me," she said. "It made our class's 40th anniversary party not just a reunion — for me it was a homecoming, too."
In the more than 40 years since graduating, the two have seen many changes in the profession, but both feel that the practice of law has become less collegial and more business-oriented. "When I began my practice, lawyers would gather after a bar association meeting or for lunch at the attorney's table at the Eagle restaurant in Lansing and settle cases," Peter recalled. "Today we have formalized systems of case evaluation, facilitated mediation and judicial settlement conferences."
The couple is enjoying their time off these days, pursuing hobbies and interests. Rose is an avid reader and serves on a number of community service boards in the Lansing area; Peter is pursuing his passion for cycling, having completed two summer trips of more than 300 miles each. And their enthusiasm for Wayne Law is sure to keep them busy as well.

Watch buying some of the starter kits I did that and ended up with a bunch of stuff I don't use
I too started with the "kits" and am beginning to regret it somewhat. 1.The deep bodies are extremely heavy 2.The frames come with plastic foundation.When I learned beekeeping many years ago it was with wax foundation that we wired in. It would sometimes collapsed during extraction...So when the kits came equipped with the plastic foundation I thought maybe it would be better. Then my mentor came to assist me one day and he grunted in disgust when he saw the plastic foundation. His words? "Is the whole da#n world made out of plastic now?" Also if one wants to use crush and strain for the harvest, they would have to scrape the comb off the foundation. But with wax foundation we can just cut it away and have beautiful comb honey to put in jars whole...(i guess i scrape and strain 4 now... :'()
I was told The Beekeeper's Handbook would tell me everything I would need to know but some of the stuff just goes woosh right over my head so I think as recommended I'll look into getting the dummy book cause right now I sure feel like I fall in that hole.

Anyone have experience with it?
A co-worker buddy of mine had been powdercoating stuff for years. He hasn't done cerakote yet but is confident he can.
How durable is it? I'm thinking of coating one of my 870's. No need for extra corrosion protection here but I do makea trip south every year and that TX Gulf water can get nasty.

Does anyone here have experience with Kel-Tec's SU-16 rifles, specifically the "C" model?
Before you answer, consider my intended use. I'm looking for a rifle that is as compact as possible, reasonbly cheap, short to medium range, that I can carry in the truck or on a four wheeler. I'm strictly looking to shoot at the occasional coyote or other varmit, and I do not intend to use this for personal defence. I'm open to discussion or suggestions on other rifles, if you think they fit the bill for what I'm looking for.

Posted by David Cooperstein on August 15, 2011
In the wake of Nielsen's and Facebook's announcement of a new "Web GRP" metric, there has been some exciting debate over whether GRPs will be good for the advertising industry as a whole. Dave Morgan made some excellent points in Mediapost about why GRPs will ultimately be good for online advertisers. However, I respectfully disagree that web GRPs are a step forward for effective cross-platform measurement.
Although it is true that TV gets the lion's share of marketers' budgets, that doesn't necessarily mean that online measurement should be retrofitted to make "apples to apples" comparisons. On the contrary, marketers are becoming more accustomed to the granular level of metrics and accountability online media offers and will not be content to keep TV GRPs and get a "best fit" measurement of GRPs online. Even if the industry isn't giving up on GRPs as TV currency, TV networks like CBS are moving away from GRPs as the standard and would like to get beyond age and sex if possible. As the online video market matures and over-the-top video consumption grows, I believe marketers will begin to see the discrepancy in accuracy between the ads they buy on a prime-time show on broadcast and the ads they buy that are delivered via a YouTube, Netflix, or Hulu app on a connected TV.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I am no expert
but I would just go with what you have
bigger drums are always better
then tweak the system later, if you have to balance it out better
maybe someone with more of a working knowledge, of how that combo will work, will chime in
Disc/Drum Sizes and Valving
I am about to run my e-brake cables and I kinda hit a snag. I am not sure if my rear drums are the size I want. Looking for input from folks with similar experience.
Car is a 41 Chevy 2 door sedan. 350/350.
The booster is an 8 inch dual diaphragm. The pedal ratio is about 4.5:1. Corvette style MC.
The front brakes are 11 inch rotors with metric calipers (2-1/4" (?) piston).
I thought the rear was out of a G body. It is definitely GM and it has the mounts still there for the upper trailing arms. I never looked at the brakes that close and assumed they were the 9-1/2" brakes. When I started fitting up the e-brake cables, I realized the rear had 11" drums. The rear wheel cylinders are 15/16" units.
I intend to run a GM style combi valve (metering, rear wheel residual pressure, proportioning, and differential pressure switch).
My question - Will the 11 inch rears cause brake balance issues? If so, should I:
1. Switch to 9-1/2" rear drums?
2. Put an adjustable proportioning valve in the rear line?
3. Set it up and test it, putting in an adjustable proportioning valve only if needed?
4. See if I can find some smaller wheel cylinders which will fit the backing plate (7/8" or 13/16" maybe)?
5. Combination of the above?
If I go the adjustable proportioning valve route, do I remove the proportioning valve from the combi valve or just run them in series?
What do you think?

I don't know if this has been mentioned here before...but I was just watching ESB and while I'm not a Boba, I pay attention to the man whenever I see the movie. 8)
I happened to look at the boots, and something rang a bell...so I went and looked at the MoM pictures, and yeah...those really look like a vintage pair of cold-water HAT diver's boots. My uncle did HAT diving and welding in the late 70s early 80s, and he had a few pair of boots just like these, but without the piping, which appears to be glued on.
Just for the sake of passing along info, if you're wanting a good pair of base boots to build up, look for some SCUBA boots. XS Scuba makes a decent pair, but they're all round-toed.
Again, don't know if this had been covered, I did a search and didn't really find anything.

I am currently working on my ASOK CC doing the paint up job. I was just wondering what ways people mount their range finders in their helmets. The ASOK stalk is flat and the cover is flat also so I figured I would drill a taper into the stalk and put the bolt in. I would like it to hold tight so it does not fall down so I was going to see if I could find some cupped washers for tension. I was just curious on how other people mounted their stalks to see if there is a better way. Being my first Fett helmet I was going to avoid the electronic moving range finder. That and my head is probably too big to fit a servo in there as well. I have not seen much on installation of parts on helmets, mostly paint ups.
While the search bar is nice it throws a lot of random crud to sift through and im not seeing much.

She definitely has a way of drawing attention to herself, and Rihanna let her ladyparts do the talking while unveiling her new single.
Posing topless with a dollar bill over her mouth, the "We Found Love" songstress announced her forthcoming track "Pour It Up" in a new Instagram post.
In a recent interview, Ri-Ri discussed her 777 tour for her Unapologetic album (#1 on Billboard) and how the journalists that flew around world with her were a bit on the whiny side.
"They all want you to host a party every time you get on the plane after a show but you really only have that time to sleep until you get to the next country.... Sometimes it was a two-hour ride to the next country and that was all the sleep you would get. I knew I had seven countries and seven shows and I had to save my voice. I didn't go crazy. I didn't party too hard."

Hey all,
I know I was never really a "Big player" on the forums here, bought some stuff from Cruzer, BKBT, bobamaker...sold a few bits of my Jango costume...but I want to apologize for my absence, as I have messages in the double digits inquiring about some items I was selling, and I never responded. Had a lot of serious **** happen IRL and it's been almost 2 years since I was really on here.
Any new developments in Jango news? Good source for boots? Good source for an arena jetpack?
I still have a box packed from when I moved, it has some of my Jango parts left in it...I have a bobamaker flight suit, a bobamaker vest with snaps set to match cruzer fiberglass/cold cast armor, and I may have an ammo pouch as well...I believe a cruzer piece. I also have a BKBT helmet, no T visor, no ear cap for the sides, and an aluminum range stalk but no range finder. I went through a messy divorce and she trashed a lot of my costuming stuff out of spite, and other stuff was lost in the move, so I apologize for not having all the bits. But, if anyone is interested in any of those things, send me a message and I will try to get back ASAP...am willing to sell the helmet for cheap, specifically, as it is basically just the bucket without any of the "accessories" for it (It is painted, using the proper krylon blues...royal blue and....I forget the name of the second one, it's been so long...but also using rub N buff silver for the rest of it).
You guys are always great, so I know you'll understand, but I still wanted to apologize for posting WTS ads and then going off grid almost immediately, due to the surprise nature of the IRL issues.
Thanks all!

Originally, Dani chose RWU because the University gave her the best financial aid package. She wasted no time getting involved on campus when she arrived. She became a math tutor, a member of the tutoring training team, the tutor advisory board and recently became the founding member of the mathematics honor society on campus—while it's a national society, Dani founded the first ever chapter in R.I.
"Tutoring is honestly the greatest thing in the world. Not only did it keep me on top of everything that I had to do, but I met so many people through it. You become their best friend—they come to you for help with everything. They became my kids. They meant a lot to me. I would see them around campus four years later and we'd still stop to talk."
Dani's advice? She has a few tips:
"Be organized! Color coordination and calendars have saved my life more than once!"
"Don't be afraid to ask for help. I went to my professors and sat in their offices for hours trying to work through things. They'll even come in on Saturdays to help you if you need it."
"Professors have realistic expectations. They won't push you in the wrong direction, instead, they push you to be better. I am where I am because of my professors and my advisor."
So, where is Dani now? She accepted her full scholarship to NYU where she is pursuing her Ph.D. in mathematics.

Hey all. I recently noticed my MC boots are getting a purple hue in some of the fabric areas. Actually, it is almost a pink. Bleh. I am woried it is just due to cheap dye on the fabric. These boots are still new, haven't even weathered them up. Kinda sucks, as I have 2 pairs with the same issue on all 4 boots. Was thinking of selling a pair, but I guess not.
Has this happened to anyone elses MC's? I am hoping that weathering them up will cover the spots, but I dunno.
Would washing the fabric fix it? (shrug)

What state do you live in?
I have a Bulgy 74' (5.45x39), with a custom ("Russian red") finish and matching wooden pistol grip, a Romy 47' (7.62x39) all parts kits are in excellent condition, And all numbers match, each kit includes all furniture and all parts. Price is $375.00 **Shipped**for both , I can take pay-pal but I will have to add their fee, I also will take a M/O or cashiers check (No personal checks).
I'm not looking to split the kits up individually, unless for a cash price for the kit, including Ar-15 upper/lower misc. parts. Let me know what you have, and I may work with you at the P.O.S.
These are actual pics, Misc. parts are missing in the pics becouse I was in a rush to take the photos, but they are all complete. The 74' is a complete firearm, I will demill the receiver to sell the kit only, (headspace is great). Not unless any of you have a better idea to transfering a home built firearm legally to sell. The furniture on the Bulgarian 74' is very similier to the Polish's (all matching grain). The furniture for the Romy, has not nearly a scratch on it. Both bores look superb, and to my knowledge not on round has been through the Bulgarian. If you would like to purchase the rifle seperatly as a complete firearm, I'll figure a price and get back with you, like I said just send me a pm.

Reds re-sign Salmon, Gil to Minor deals
Reds re-sign two to Minor deals
CINCINNATI -- The Reds did not tender Major League contracts to reliever Brad Salmon and infielder Jerry Gil on Wednesday, but they did re-sign the pair to Minor League deals and invited both to Major League Spring Training. Salmon, 28, was 0-1 with a 4.13 ERA in 26 games as a rookie last season. He allowed 22 hits and 10 walks over 24 innings with 22 strikeouts and retired 20 of his 26 first batters. The right-hander also appeared in 37 games with Triple-A Louisville, where he was 2-2 with a 3.56 ERA. Gil tore a right elbow ligament during Spring Training and missed most of the season after he had Tommy John surgery. He was on the active roster for the final five games but was only available as a pinch-runner.
As expected, contracts were tendered to the club's two arbitration eligible players -- second baseman Brandon Phillips and starting pitcher Matt Belisle. The Reds 40-man roster currently stands at 38 players.

Mark Miller is in his second season as an assistant men's lacrosse coach at Washington and Lee University.
Miller's first season resulted in a 12-7 overall record and an appearance in the semifinals of the ODAC Tournament. The Generals also ranked among the national leaders in scoring defense (6.95 GPG) and faceoff percentage (.620), while finishing second in Division III in man-up offense (.509).
Miller came to W&L from Colorado College, where he was an assistant coach from 2011-14. In this role, he served as assistant offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator for the Tigers, who went 35-14 overall and advanced to two NCAA Tournaments in his three seasons.
Miller also served as the head coach of the men's lacrosse program at Texas Christian University from 2007-11 and he has served as the co-director of the Maximum Lacrosse Camps since 2010. Additionally, he has been an equipment manager at TCU and Villanova after graduating from Adelphi with a bachelor's degree in 2003.
Miller began his collegiate playing career at Ohio Wesleyan in 2000, earning two letters before transferring to Adelphi, where he was a two-time all-conference selection as a goalkeeper.

Laurent Koscielny and Johan Djourou have this week resumed full training after recovering from their injuries.
The duo had been sidelined with ankle and muscular problems respectively and missed the recent fixtures against Olympiacos and Tottenham.
Following rehab at Arsenal, both players are now away on international duty but did not feature in Friday's Euro 2012 qualifiers. Koscielny was an unused substitute for Laurent Blanc's France side, while Djourou was suspended for Switzerland's 2-0 defeat at Wales.
The return of Koscielny and Djourou - along with Sebastien Squillaci - will give Arsène Wenger plenty of defensive options when Arsenal resume their Premier League campaign against Sunderland next weekend.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The Tar Heels split with Virginia Tech on Sunday, suffering their first home loss of the season, 7-6, before bouncing back with a 5-1 game-three win to take the series. Carolina is now 25-13 (6-3) on the season after a 3-1 week.
Lauren Gaskill led off the game with a single to left followed by Kylie McGoldrick's first homer of the game out right field for a quick two runs.
The Tar Heels answered with two of their own in the bottom of the first. Elisha Elliott drew a walk, stole second and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Erin Satterfield. Haleigh Dickey drew a walk, and a single up the middle by Parrish scored Elliott and advanced Stephanie Krider, pinch running for Dickey, to second. Krider and Parrish advanced on a fly out to right by Constance Orr, and then a single by Kristen Brown down the left field line scored Krider to even the score at 2-2.
After a scoreless second, the Hokies struck again in the third as Courtney Liddle hit a solo shot down the left field line.
Carolina once again responded in the bottom frame, starting with a single to center by Dickey before Parrish hit her fourth long ball of the season out left to put the Tar Heels back on top. After a pitching change by VT, Orr smacked her eighth homer of the season to left to make it 5-3.
Following a quite fourth inning, the Hokies put three more on the board in the fifth to take the lead for good. McGoldrick singled through the left side and advanced to second on a walk to C. Liddle. Kat Banks then doubled to left center to score McGoldrick. An intentional walk to Amanda Ake, who homered twice in Friday's game, loaded the bases for Dani Anderson, who drew a walk to push Liddle across the plate. A third walk to Bailey Liddlle scored Banks for what would eventually be the winning run.
With two outs on the board in the bottom of the seventh, Orr recorded her ninth homer and second of the game out right to make it 7-6, but a final ground out ended the game in favor of the Hokies.
Lori Spingola pitched all seven innings, striking out three while giving up nine hits and six walks.
After two scoreless innings, Satterfield singled to right before Dickey hit a long ball to center to give the Tar Heels the early 2-0 lead.
Aquilla Mateen led off the fifth with a double down the left field line, advancing to third on an infield single by Elliott Katie Causey pinch hit for Satterfield, reaching base on a fielder's choice, scoring Mateen. Dickey then singled to left, which brought home Elliott. Parrish drew a walk, loading the bases for Orr, who was hit by a pitch to force Satterfield across the plate to make it 5-0. Carolina had a chance to tack on a few more runs with bases loaded and no outs, but a pair of groundouts and a strike out ended the inning before the Tar Heels could put any more on the board.
In the sixth, Banks singled through the right side and scored on a stand-up triple by Logan Spaw to break up the shutout. The Hokies loaded the bases with two outs, but after Lauren Fuller briefly replaced Bone in the circle, a final groundout prevented any more VT runs.
Ashley Bone pitched 6.2 innings for the win, striking out two while giving up four hits and five walks.
