The Houston School of Irish Music, in collaboration with the William J. Flynn Center for Irish Studies at the University of St. Thomas, is bringing traditional Irish folksongs, ballads and harp tunes to the youth of Houston. The school offers lessons to students interested in learning to play traditional Irish music and instruments in a wholesome environment. Students will learn the joys of group playing and will form the Houston Irish Youth Band that will give several recitals and performances a year.
Lori Gallagher, J.D., director of the William J. Flynn Center for Irish Studies, said she is excited for HSOIM to begin offering lessons.
"The Flynn Center for Irish Studies is delighted that the Houston School of Irish Music has selected UST to launch its inaugural traditional Irish music lessons for youth," Gallagher said. "Music lies at the heart of Irish heritage and culture and brings more people to our cultural programs than any other type of event. Many of the HSOIM music instructors are with local musical groups who have performed for us on campus and for our Flynn Center Annual Irish Gala, including The Jig is Up! and Wyndnwyre."
HSOIM was created to promote the growth of Irish music and tradition in Houston. Dr. Larry Mallette, the school's managing director, based the school on the North Texas School of Irish Music in Dallas, started by the Traditional Irish Music Education Society. The school in North Texas has seen significant growth since its start in 2010, and Mallette hopes the Houston chapter will follow suit.
"We want to get kids involved learning the music, its history and enjoying it," Mallette said. "Once they get to a certain level, they will stick with it."
The school officially opens at 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 8 at 1:30 p.m. in Strake Hall, room 107. The initial meeting will serve as an open house with a musical demonstration. From then on the school will meet for instruction every two weeks. People interested in learning Irish music can register online.

Posted by Renee Murphy on February 25, 2014
January 28th was the anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. The Rogers Commission detailed the official account of the disaster, laying bare all of the failures that lead to the loss of a shuttle and its crew. Officially known as The Report of the Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident - The Tragedy of Mission 51, the report is five volumes long and covers every possible angle starting with how NASA chose its vendor, to the psychological traps that plagued the decision making that lead to that fateful morning. There are many lessons to be learned in those five volumes and now, I am going to share the ones that made a great impact on my approach to risk management. The first is the lesson of overconfidence.
In the late 1970's, NASA was assessing the likelihood and risk associated with the catastrophic loss of their new, reusable, orbiter. NASA commissioned a study where research showed that based on NASA's prior launches there was the chance for a catastrophic failure approximately once every 24 launches. NASA, who was planning on using several shuttles with payloads to help pay for the program, decided that the number was too conservative. They then asked the United States Air Force (USAF) to re-perform the study. The USAF concluded that the likelihood was once every 52 launches.
In the end, NASA believed that because of the lessons they learned since the moon missions and the advances in technology, the true likelihood of an event was 1 in 100,000 launches. Think about that; it would be over 4100 years before there would be a catastrophic event. In the end, Challenger flew 10 missions before it's catastrophic event and Colombia flew 28 missions before its catastrophic event, during reentry, after the loss of heat tiles during take off. During the life of a program that lasted 30 years, they lost two of five shuttles.

After Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Birmingham on Saturday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the win via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of the fans' thoughts.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @ArsenalDotCom
@mightyeNOR - I think Tomas Rosicky showed that he deserves to be in the starting line up. Good passes, good creativity and shots on goal!
@Killaroo - Good win. We needed three points today, it didn't matter about the performance.
@szar88 - We played a great game on Saturday. We showed good character and spirit. Jack Wilshere had a great game and i think inexperience got him the red card.
@KamilLayali - Marouane Chamakh is definitely an important asset for Arsenal, not only this season but in years to come.
@gooners16 - Wilshere is only 18 but look how influential he is!
@athlon29 - Who cares that our performance wasn't convincing. Three points were vital in the title race.
@TateMadzivire - Not a convincing display by the boys against a supposedly bottom of the table team but I suppose a win is a win. Jack Wilshere shone!
@Dukeology - I am so impressed by Wilshere, I think he is warming up to be the new Fabregas.
@Mark_gun1 - Fabianski's performance was solid once again, I think he deserves a run in the first team.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

By Chris Harris
Chelsea have played second fiddle to Manchester United for the past couple of years but there are signs this season that they are ready to reclaim their mantle as Premier League champions.
The appointment of Luis Felipe Scolari has galvanised the Blues, adding a certain swagger to the discipline and organisation which has served Chelsea so well since Roman Abramovich's billions propelled them into football's upper echelons.
Scolari has liberated his squad from the safety-first approach which prevailed under Jose Mourinho and Avram Grant, allowing full-backs Jose Bosingwa and Ashley Cole to play to their attacking strengths. A tally of 32 goals in 14 games is testament to that.
Ahead of Sunday's game at Stamford Bridge, we asked Dan Levene of the Kensington and Chelsea News for his take on Chelsea's new approach, the blistering form of Nicolas Anelka, the Portuguese summer signings and the reason why this weekend's London derby could be an open affair.
The thing with Chelsea is that sometimes they look fantastic and sometimes they just don't. It seems that if they are playing a weak side that shows any sign of weakness at all, they will pounce and they will kill. It is quite vicious to see the five goals scored against Sunderland and against Middlesbrough. However if a team comes along like Newcastle, who just park the bus in front of the goal, they do seem to have difficulty finding a way through.
It has been widely reported that Phil Scolari has brought the kind of attacking, exciting football that the owner of the club wants to see. He has really started to move forwards, particularly with the full backs, which is good news for people like Ashley Cole and Jose Bosingwa who seem to be in their element at the moment. The pair are banging forward and getting the balls in to the forwards.
"Chelsea have struggled for a while in the right back position. They looked slightly unbalanced because while Ashley Cole oozes quality - if nothing else Arsenal fans will appreciate that - but he did not have any counter balance down the right-hand side. Bosingwa however has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water. He has been finding his way through opposition defences and he really has made an incredible difference to Chelsea.
Anelka is a man who plays so much off confidence and there is no doubt that he has bucket loads of that at the moment. Once he starts scoring, as Arsenal fans will know, he can't stop. Certainly that has been what has happened in recent weeks for Chelsea and he has made the centre forward position his own. Fans have started to see those little nicks and little touches that have singled him out as one of the best strikers in the world in recent weeks.
Deco is a quality player. He is one of those players that if he picks up the ball in the right place and does something amazing with it, even the opposition fans will be on their feet applauding. But after a fantastic start, where he adjusted very quickly to the Premier League, he has not really looked the same since coming back from his injury and that is something that will worry Chelsea supporters.
Chelsea have had difficulties at home, a few of the quality sides have come along and known that the easy way to stop Chelsea scoring is to put two banks of four in front of the goal. With that happening, Chelsea have shown a slight lack of imagination recently and they have not managed to battle through. But Arsenal are not really the sort of team who will want to do that. They are certainly a team who are going to play attacking football as everyone knows. It could be a very interesting and exciting game on Sunday. I will go for Chelsea to nick it 2-1, but I certainly wouldn't put much money on it either way.

A young dolphin has died unexpectedly at the Minnesota Zoo. It was the sixth to die in six years. Zoo staff gave year-and-a-half-old Taijah an ultrasound after she refused to eat Monday morning and spit up a blood clot.
By evening, she appeared tired while swimming with her parents then became unresponsive.
There have been various reasons for dolphin deaths at the zoo and with no discernable pattern, said Kevin Willis, director of biological programs. He said one was a stillbirth; another was old and had a tumor.
"We carefully look at every death and we say 'What's the cause'? Is it our management? Is it care? Is it food?" Willis said. "And if there was a pattern, I hope I would've found it. I'm not a big believer in luck, but we haven't been having any good."
A preliminary necropsy found a stomach ulcer, but veterinarians are awaiting more test results that may shed light on the cause
"It is so unsettling to not know, because the other animals, at least in our minds, are in a bit of risk until we find the cause of death," Willisa said. "I hope that something is found that's definitive, conclusive and we can say this is what caused the death of this animal."

Hopping into the holiday spirit a few weeks early this season, bassist Pete Wentz took his son Bronx along with him to Mr. Bones pumpkin patch today (October 10) in West Hollywood, CA.
Looking relaxed, and handsome, the "Fall Out Boy" rocker kept his dark hair slicked back, and wore a black hoodie with scary skeleton bones emblazoned on the front, complete with blue skinny jeans and black high tops.
Continuing to build their new relationship, Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend Evan Ross showed up together in Venice, California on Sunday afternoon (August 4).
Joined by Simpson's four-year-old son Bronx, the happy twosome headed over to a friend's house, holding hands as they scurried past a shutterbug.
Spending a day at the beach before the weekend crowd hits, Pete Wentz brought his girlfriend and son to Miami on Thursday (June 6).
The Fall Out Boy bassist showed off his tatts in black swim trunks and a baseball cap while his gal Meagan Camper wore a red bikini. They both helped little Bronx build a sand castle and even play in the waves.
Gearing up for some time in the Big Apple, Ashlee Simpson brought her son Bronx Wentz along on a flight to JFK International Airport last night (May 21).
The "Pieces of Me" singer held her little guy's hand as she navigated past the paparazzi, sporting an all-black getup and messy blonde hair.
Landing back on the west coast after a holiday vacation, Ashlee Simpson and her son, Bronx, arrived at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Tuesday (January 1).
The 28-year-old songstress, who was also joined by her mom, Tina, toted along her little man while making her way quickly past the waiting shutterbugs.
After enjoying the Christmas holiday, Ashlee Simpson boarded a plane back for Los Angeles in Hawaii on Tuesday (January 1).
Accompanied by her son Bronx Wentz and her mom Tina, the 28-year-old songstress dressed for the journey in black skinny jeans and a grey sweater.
Joining the rest of the clan, Ashlee Simpson headed to Hawaii to spend some holiday vacation. On Saturday, the 28-year-old singer headed to the beach on Oahu to soak up the sun and play in the surf with her son, Bronx, and some friends.
Looking great in a black and white bikini and burgundy New York Yankees baseball cap, the doting single mother kept a tight hold of her 4-year-old in a blue life vest.
Making the most of her time in Hawaii, Ashlee Simpson took her son Bronx to the beach for some sandy shenanigans yesterday afternoon (December 27).
Sporting a vintage Police band t-shirt and Ray Ban sunglasses, the "Pieces of Me" singer played with her adorable little boy (from her relationship with Pete Wentz) while photographers looked on.

Blend: 100% Chardonnay
Today under the guidance of current proprietor Lars Maack, the winery has earned a reputation as the source of some of South Africa's most exquisite, mineral-tinged white wines. Bayten is a Dutch word that means "beyond expectation." Cellarmaster Herman Kirschbaum and winemaker Brad Paton continue to craft stunning wines that deliver on that promise to exhilarate the senses.
Constantia is one of the few wine-growing areas in South Africa which does not need to rely on irrigation, thanks to significant winter rainfall. Bayten's vineyards, planted on a variety of ancient decomposed granite soils, are dry farmed, with an average yield of five tons per hectare. The farm embraces a variety of holistic farming practices. A portion of the estate has been dedicated to a conservancy in order to preserve indigenous flora and fauna, and a section of the vineyards is currently undergoing organic certification.

Cellphones on Planes Not Taking Off
WASHINGTON (AP) — When it comes to deciding whether airline passengers can use their cellphones in flight, federal agencies are sending different signals to consumers.
The Transportation Department, which regulates aviation consumer issues, indicated in a notice posted online Friday that it is considering retaining the 23-year-old ban on the calls, and asked for public comment.
Two months ago, the Federal Communications Commission voted to pursue allowing the calls. The FCC has responsibility for determining whether the use of cellphones in flight would interfere with cellular networks on the ground.
Polls show that many passengers, particularly frequent fliers, oppose allowing in-flight calls from passengers' cellphones. Echoing their concerns, the Transportation Department said it believes allowing passengers to make cellphone calls "may be harmful or injurious" to others.
"People tend to talk louder on cellphones than when they're having face-to-face conversations," the department said. "They are also likely to talk more and further increase the noise on a flight, as passengers would not be simply talking to the persons sitting next to them but can call whomever they like."
Some planes already have seat-back phones, but they are rarely used, the department said, adding that the concern "is not about individual calls, but rather the cumulative impact of allowing in-flight calls in close quarters."
Delta Air Lines told the government last year that 64 percent of its passengers indicated that the ability to make phone calls in flight would have a negative impact on their onboard experience.
The FCC has already received more than 1,200 public comments on its proposal, almost all of them opposed to lifting the ban.
Among the most ardent opponents of lifting the ban are flight attendants, who worry that phone conversation will spark arguments between passengers and even acts of violence.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The plugs circled in the pictures are water ports, they are directly over the water jackets in your heads.
Putting the fitting it the pop off valve will work fine, if you don't want to drill and tap your manifold. Take a look at the back of the manifold on the same surface as the pop off valve, there's usually a fitting or two there.
Your tranny shifting issue is due to the govenor, there are kits out there to modify the govenor and prevent early shifts. I like to make mine manual so I lock out the weights on the govenor. Leave the modulator hooked up and hook it up above the blower, that way you don.t need any check valves. You will always have vacuum above the blower.
A simple place to put the vac/boost fitting would be in the pop off valve cover. It's the thing with the 2 springs on it at either the front or the rear of the manifold. Just measure the height of the springs before you take the plate off. Reinstall them at the same height. This will be a quick and dirty way to install the fitting. You can put it someplace else later on.
My T-350 is set up without a kick down at all. I just manually down shift it if I need it. I still use the modulator however. If I put the shifter in 2nd it will start out in 1st and auto shift up to 2nd depending on how hard I step on it. Easy driving it shifts pretty quick. I just hang 2nd for a while the go to drive. I can manually downshift at any speed practical. My trans is pretty firm. It has a B&M kit in it.
F-Bird... would it not be better to hook the trans modulator up to the carb as normal. The carb will see variable vacuum depending on throttle position. At WOT it is possible there may be a little higher than normal vacuum in the carb however I would think you could adjust the modulator to compensate for this.. I've only run manual trans with all the blowers I have installed so I'm learning here too. I understand the check valve to prevent the boost from getting to the modulator and you will have very high vacuum at part throttle and coast in the manifold with the blower.
Thanks for the input. i never checked to see if the vacuum modulator was hooked up. wouldn't it shift hard, (like jolt) when it shifted through the gears if it wasn't? or if not enough vacuum?
I was told the transmission was built up, and had a shift kit installed. but thats words from the previous owner.
It always shifted fine when in drive through 1st, and 2nd, but happened very fast that you were in drive almost immediatly.
As for the kick down, there is no cable installed. with the 456 gears i can't see a need for it, but when i change to 3:50, or 3:73's i may want to hook that up.
I will check again on the manifold for a fitting, but unfortunetly i don't think there is one.
Thanks again for your input.
Well i had some time to mess around with the car today. The car would never manually shift into 1st, or 2nd gear, only drive. Whenever i would take off out of the hole it would shift so fast that 1st, and 2nd really never did anything, it would be in drive before 20 feet and low rpms. (also no kick down hooked up)
I found that the shifting cable was hooked up wrong, and that the previous owner put a pin in the ratchet shifter so it couldn't be manually put in 1st, or 2nd. I have no idea why, (maybe he was afraid of it lol).
But all i can say now is, this thing came alive now that i can get the rpms up off the line. Its a whole new beast. Now its FUN to drive.
I have put about 200 miles on it in the last 2 weeks and the wow factor was there for the looks, but it wasn't impressing me with the power factor. I can now say i have a smile on my face when i launch it.
I am looking into the websites, and books mentioned as i want to learn all i can, and also with the timing if anyone can break that down for me.
Still unsure of where to hook up the vac/boost gauge also.
Well just wanted to let you guys know the update.
Hello again, and really appreciate everyones help with this.
I just got my vac/boost gauge today. I looked on the manifold but only found the pictured fitting. There is one on both sides of the rear of the manifold, but not sure if this is where to hook my gauge up. Looks like it is right on top of part of the head. I drew an arrow to what iam talking about. Please let me know if i can install my fitting for the gauge in this spot.
As for the timming i didn't get a light yet, plus iam unsure of how to check it. Any info on this would be very helpful also.
As for the torque converter would it be a good choice to get the 3000 stall? should it be a 10", is there any thing i need to do to fit a 10" converter, or is it a direct fit?
Thanks again for everyones help, and for your kind comments about my car.
Here is the picture of the intake port iam wondering about for the gauge.
Interesting BDS says not to relieve the pressure. Hampton blowers told me to release the pressure when I park the car for the day. I have always done it and never had any issues.
I zoomed in on the front cover of the blower in your pictures. There is a little red pushbutton valve on the right (pass side) of the blower snout. You should fill this cover up to the bottom of the hole where this valve is with gear lube. After that there is no need to ever use this pressure releif valve. The front cover will build what ever boost pressure the blower puts out. This helps the lip seals do their job. BDS is pretty emphatic about not relieving this pressure. So don't do it. Fill it and forget it. These blowers are designed to run for years without maintenance.
Otherwise start with a vac/boost gage and set the timing. then have fun.
Nice ride. The blower install looks pretty good. I'm green with envy.
I'm picking up my new blower carbs tomorrow for my new blower set up. Blower should be here next week and the drive the following week.
Kind of hard to suggest a stall speed without knowing the specs on the cam/engine. I would think 2500-3000 should be abour right (I would lean towards 3000). I also agree 4.56 gears are not a good combo for a blown motor unless you are planning to run 1/8 mile. Blowers make a lot of torque down low so you don't need a lot of gear. As mentioned you want the boost gauge connected to the manifold below the blower. Should have a a hole somewhere in the rear of the manifold, probably has a pipe plug in it.
Unless your blower is leaking you shouldn't need to worry about the oil, it can go many many years without needing any attention. Doesn't hurt to check though. There is a pipe plug in the front cover of your blower just to the left of the pulley, that's where you fil it.
Get a timing light on that thing ASAP and see what the initial and total timing is, this can make or break your power output and driveability. With 4.56 gears and stock conveter you should be smoking the tires just off idle.
Keep asking questions that's how you learn.
Nice ride, bud! Here are some perspectives on your questions... others may have a different perspective.
- with a loose (higher stall) converter, you will still feel some pull when you drop it in gear and you will still need to apply some brake pressure at stop lights, but when you mash the loud pedal it will spin up towards the stall rpm as you leave. It won't spin to the stall rpm unless you have a line-lock or trans-brake. You will definitely notice a difference, as the motor is winding into its power band as you leave.
- the boost/vacuum gauge tap comes off the intake manifold below the blower. There should be at least one NPT hole in your intake manifold. If not, drill and tap.
- use gear oil (70-90w) in the blower drive. There should be a filler hole in the front gear plate.
OK, you are misunderstanding how a torque converter works. They are a load and power sensitive power transfer device. The simplest analogy I can offer is that it is similar the centrifugal clutch on a go-kart or mini bike. Just normal putting around or takeoff from a stop a 3000 stall will act just like a stock converter with about 200 rpm more slip, you have to load it up(mash the throttle) to get the stall effect to be apparent. It is nothing like a neutral drop at all, more like slipping a clutch to get areally healthy stickshift to leave a stop light without squealing the tires.
The boost gauge is to be hooked to the manifold below the blower to read pressure, you will have to look to see if there is already a spot for it.
As far as the lube, consult the manufacturer of the blower for type and fill point and oil level.
Sharp looking car!!
Just so my understanding is right. If i put a say, 3000 stall converter in, doesn't that mean that everytime i take off i will be doing 3000 rpm holeshots? almost like a neutral drop at 3000rpm? Sorry for asking such dumb questions, but iam just trying to learn.
Also once i get my boost/vacuum gauge, where do i hook it up to, the intake, or somewhere on the blower?
Is there a pre drilled place, or do i have to drill and install a nipple?
also what oil should i be running in the blower, and how do you check what oil it has, and where to fill it? (i know, its something i should know before even owning a blower engine)
once again sorry for the questions, but iam in new grounds with the high hp engine group. Basic, and mild engines no problem for me, but trying to learn as i go now.
I really do appreciatte any help all you guys are giving me.
heres a couple pics of what iam playing with.
|Your 11.5% underdriven. Your biggest problem is the stock torque converter. Car should be scary fast down low with 4.56 gears if the converter and timing is right.
Thanks again for all everyones help.
I counted the teeth on the pullies and they are 61 snout, and 54 crank.
not sure on the timming or the boost yet, ordered a gauge but won't be here until monday.
the heads are AFR alum. 195 runners, and 68cc.
the trans, is a th 400, with stock converter,
ignition is msd 6 al, coil msd blaster 2, and msd dist.
The rear tires are 295-50-15, bfg radial t/a.
also mentioned is the 456 gear, dual holleys.
The very first thing you need to invest in is a boost gauge. Until you know how much boost the engine is making you will have a hard time figuring out what's going on with the power. You said the previous owner told you it is 13% underdriven. That iseasy enough to verify as mentioned above. Witha 6-71 on a 350 I would guess your boost is down around 8lbs, based on your drive ratio. You are doing the right thing by asking questions and trying to learn. What you don't know can kill that engine. I highly suggest you buy and read the book "Street Supercharging" by S/A Designs. It will really help you understand what's going on.
Ignition timing and timing curve is very impoortant and will make a major difference in performance and engine cooling.
ISince you don't know all the info on the engine, provide what you can. Verify your drive ratio, check your initial timing and total timing, install a boost gauge and verify boost.
The above info is pretty good. Get the car running good and drive it around for a while before you start changing things. It has to be a fun car to drive. You will probably blow off a set of tires pretty quickly. haha BTW you can get a nasty ticket or group of tickets if you aren't carefull.
I'd take a carb off and look inside the blower. Pop the belt off too and spin the blower by hand. It should turn freely and not be scored or chewed up. If it is you will definitely be down on boost. No easy or cheap fix here. You will have to send it to one of the blower shops for a rebuild.
The things are heavy. Around 70-80 pounds.
$300 up pluss massive shipping.
You can get a vacuum/boost gage from autometer in several different styles. Get one. Install the 1/8 npt fitting in the manifold under the blower. Yes there will be vacuum in the manifold even cruising. You will only get boost when the throttle is open far enough for the blower to draw in more air than the motor can by itself. The 6-71 blower displaces 411 cu in per revolution and is quite efficient at relatively low speeds. You have to overcome vacuum before you get boost. It happens pretty quick however. Don't get too carried away with boost on the street. 5-8 psi is good for a SBC You could go to 10-11 underdrive and pick up a little but I'd be carefull. The more boost you have the more critical timing and carb tuning becomes. The first time it backfires hard will open your eyes for sure.
$60 or so
Try your converter out for stall speed. You really need about 3000 stall even with the blower in this case. I've got a 3k in mine and it really made driving it more fun.
$350 or so
The 4.56 gear are going to be a major pain on the street. I ditch them for a 3.73.
$175 +/- a little. If you install them yourself.
add another $100 minimum if you don't.
Instead of messing around with the timing light trying to figure out the advance curve just take the distributor to a good performance shop and have it run on the Sun machine. Tell them you want full advance by 2000-2200 engine rpm and about 15-16 degrees of advance. Install the dizzy and set total advance at 28-30 degrees at about 3000 rpm and let the initial fall where it might. All you need to worry about is that it doesn't kick back against the starter. It shouldn't with proper C.R. With this set up and a 3k converter you will have full advance almost anytime you step on the gass.
$50-75 about.
I put a few $$$ figures in to give you and idea of the cost of blower related items. As they say "...get used to it"

There are plenty of exciting movies in theaters right now, but none big enough to knock "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" out of its first place spot.
For the second week in a row, the Matt Reeves-directed flick scored a top spot earning an impressive $36 million in ticket sales.
Swinging in to theaters with gusto, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" stole the show at the box office for the weekend of July 11-13, 2014.
The much hyped sci-fi action drama nabbed $27.8 million on Friday and will finish the three day period with over $70 million in receipts.
For the second week in a row, "Transformers: Age of Extinction" was a hit with movie-goers, landing on top at the box office for the Fourth of July weekend.
The latest installment in the franchise, which stars Mark Wahlberg, nabbed $10.6 million in sales on Friday and will end the weekend with $36 million plus in receipts, making the movie the first film to hold the top spot for consecutive weeks so far this summer.
Taking the box office by storm, "Transformers: Age of Extinction" cruised to number one on the big screen for the weekend of June 27-29, 2014.
The latest installment in the franchise, which stars Mark Wahlberg, nabbed $41.3 million in sales on Friday and will end the weekend with $103 million plus in receipts, making the movie the biggest summer opening yet.
Replacing Shia LaBeouf with Mark Wahlberg seems to have already proven to be a good decision as the actor is already selling "Transformers: Age of Extinction" pretty hard.
On Monday, the 42-year-old star appeared at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where he spoke about the choice to tackle the project.
Whetting fans appetites for what is sure to be another hit, Paramount Pictures debuted the first full trailer for "Transformers: Age of Extinction" today (March 4).
Per the synopsis: a mechanic and his daughter make a discovery that brings down Autobots and Decepticons - and a paranoid government official - on them.
Giving fans a first-look at Mark Wahlberg in "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction," Paramount Pictures released a teaser clip during tonight's Super Bowl (February 2).
In the action-packed clip, "The Departed" star gets down and dirty with the familiar Transformers and promises a thrilling ride for the audience.
Clearing up exactly what went down on the set of his new movie in Hong Kong on Thursday (October 17), Michael Bay took to his website to set the record straight.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, the director was attacked by local business owners who wanted money for the loss of revenue due to the interruption from filming.

So I've been wanting to upgrade my lights since I bought my 2011 WRX. I finally ordered some LEDs for the interior that look great but I also got LED reverse and DRLs. My first problem is, I ordered them off superbrightleds.com for a pretty good price and bought the brightest ones they had but I'm not sure I like the brightness of the reverse lights. I would like them to be brighter. Any suggestions? Next problem, I installed the LED DRLs (also the brightest they had) they work and they aren't as bright as I would like them either, which isn't a big deal cause daytime lights don't help me see at all BUT.... after I installed them, I went for a drive last night and needed to use my brights, I triggered them and they didn't come on, nothing got brighter. So, Idk if I got the wrong bulb (9005) or if LED just doesn't work as a high beam.
I consulted "Daniel Stern" and he basically told me I had no idea what I was doing, that I should uninstall my "LEDs" and that they are not safe or legal??? Also said there is no legit upgrade to reverse lights. So, as you can see, not very helpful cause I've seen plenty of people on here do these mods. Just need a little help with the DRLs and any suggestions to bright reverse lights that anyone knows about. Anything is appreciated!

What is the treatment for amenorrhea?
Treatment of primary and secondary amenorrhea is determined by the specific cause. Treatment goals can be to relieve symptoms of hormonal imbalance, establish menstruation, prevent complications, and/or to achieve fertility, although not all of these goals can be achieved in every case.
In cases in which genetic or anatomical abnormalities are the cause of amenorrhea (typically primary amenorrhea), surgery may be recommended.
Hypothalamic amenorrhea that is related to weight loss, excessive exercise, physical illness, or emotional stress can typically be corrected by addressing the underlying cause. For example, weight gain and reduction in intensity of exercise can usually restore menstrual periods in women who have developed amenorrhea due to weight loss or overly intensive exercise who do not have additional causes of amenorrhea. In some cases, nutritional counseling may be of benefit.
In premature ovarian failure, hormone therapy may be recommended both to avoid the unpleasant symptoms of estrogen depletion as well as prevent complications (see below) of low estrogen level such as osteoporosis. This may consist of oral contraceptive pills for those women who do not desire pregnancy or alternative estrogen and progesterone medications. While postmenopausal hormone therapy has been associated with certain health risks in older women, younger women with premature ovarian failure can benefit from this therapy to prevent bone loss.
Women with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) may benefit from treatments that reduce the level or activity of male hormones, or androgens.
Dopamine agonist medications such as bromocriptine (Parlodel) can reduce elevated prolactin levels, which may be responsible for amenorrhea. Consequently, medication levels may be adjusted by the person's physician if appropriate.
Assisted reproductive technologies and the administration of gonadotropin medications (drugs that stimulate follicle maturation in the ovaries) can be appropriate for women with some types of amenorrhea who wish to attempt to become pregnant.
While many companies and individuals have marketed herbal therapies as a treatment for amenorrhea, none of these have been conclusively proved to be of benefit. These therapies are not regulated by the U.S. FDA and the quality of herbal preparations is not tested. Herbal remedies have been associated with serious and even fatal side effects in rare cases, and some preparations have been shown to contain high levels of toxins. Before deciding to take a natural or alternative remedy for amenorrhea, it is wise to seek the advice of your health care practitioner.

Howdy, chaps! I'm looking for more/better reference pictures of the Mandalorian Cuy'Val Dar member Llats Ward. So far, I've only found a couple of good pictures of the action figure, and one LFL approved sketch by Jamie Snell.
If you have any other reference images or details about the suit, please post them! I intend to make him as my first detailed canon suit, and I want to make it right.
These are the best pictures I've found.
This shows some better detailing of the weathering, but not of the entire suit.
This image shows the detailing on the over-the-shoulder pouches.
This one shows the basics of the suit; Boba Fett style of armor coverage, minor gauntlet detailing, boot color and details, gun sizes, and a little bit of ammo belt detail.
I also found a good one of the backplate.
Aaaaaaaaaaand those are the best I've found.
If anybody has any more pictures that they're willing to post, that's be awesome.
Thanks, y'all!

India has been free of polio for over one year. This is a remarkable accomplishment, considering that just 30 years ago the country recorded 200,000 cases of the disease annually, or one every three minutes. With polio endemic in two neighboring countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and in the more distant Nigeria (figure), can India remain free of the disease?

Spring is just around the corner and your garden will soon be producing tons of vegetables and fruits. Or you may want to take advantage of farmer's markets, road-side stands or you-pick operations located nearby. Preserving some of that food for use later in the year will give you great taste and good nutrition and will also make memories for a lifetime.

I'm delighted to return to Forrester and its Customer Experience team after eight years of running my own business and technology strategy consulting practice.
I'm returning to the same group in which I worked before with Harley Manning and his team. It was in that group that I helped develop and implement Forrester's Web Site Usability methodology, wrote reports like "Must Search Stink?" and "Smart Personalization," promoted the use of customer data intelligence and CRM systems to drive proactive interactions that I called "Tier Zero Customer Service," and reported on the uses of early community-based tools for customer service (today it's "social CRM").
A frequent question that I've been asked in the scores of phone calls over the past several weeks since my return has been: What are you going to cover? The short term answer is primarily four topic areas:

The travelling exhibition On their own - Britain's child migrants opened at the Immigration Museum on Thursday. Created by the Australian National Maritime Museum and National Museums Liverpool, UK, the exhibition recounts some of the experiences of over 100,000 British children who were sent to Commonwealth colonies and dominions from the 1860s to the1970s. They were taken from orphanages and children's homes to populate Australia, Canada and African colonies with "good white stock" in schemes that were largely hidden from public scrutiny until the late 1980s.
About 7500 children were sent to Australia. Some of the children left desperate circumstances and found their new home to be a land of opportunity. But for many child migrants, the experience was brutal.

Harold Haig, Secretary of the International Association of Former Child Migrants and their Families, spoke at the exhibition launch. "Many child migrants faced an assault course of adversity rather than a preparation for adult life. The children were often led to believe that they were orphans; that their parents were dead. This was a particularly cruel deception that extinguished the hopes of many parents and children of ever being reunited." The British Consul-General, Stuart Gill, spoke about his participation in the formal apologies delivered by the Australian Government in 2009 and by the British Government in 2010. He considers them among the most powerful but emotional duties of his position, yet concealment by both Governments of their policies for decades meant that just a few years prior he had never heard of child migrants.

Now, it is hard to believe that the schemes that brought unaccompanied children as young as three years old to these shores were not more widely known. Settled mostly in rural institutions, the children were expected to provide farm and domestic labour. Hugh McGowan left Glasgow as an adolescent and was placed at Dhurringile Training Farm in Tatura, and later Kilmany Park Home for Boys in Sale. He says, "I was fed, I was clothed, I was somewhat educated, I was housed. [But] there are things that happened to me as a seven year old boy and as a 15 year old boy that I just didn't discuss with anyone." Mr McGowan speaks frankly about the abuse and deprivation that he suffered because he feels that it's important for people to know what happened to him. He left institutional care at the age of 17, permanently shaped by his experiences, and found it difficult to relate to people in his personal and professional life. "I didn't understand them because I wasn't the product of a loving family, whereas they were."

Says Mr McGowan, "the exhibition is precisely what it should be. It's an accurate reflection of what happened. Some of us have survived, but a lot of us haven't." Parts of it are quite harrowing. Curator Kim Tao had the difficult task of sifting through stories, good and bad, to include in the exhibition. "Despite them being such difficult and painful stories, the [former child migrants] really wanted to share them and put them on the public record and recognise that this was such an important part of Australia's migration history." She mentioned the exhibition's website which has a message board, and that people are still coming forward to talk about their experiences for the first time. Through the Child Migrants Trust and other groups, former child migrants support one another as adults much they did as children, when, in the absence of parents and families, they became de facto families for one another.

DON'T BUY IT!! Only 153-162lb.ft of torque. You could die going uphill...
Do you guys ever wonder almost no one hate S2000 like they hate BRZ/FRS??
I am not a Mac user unless under duress. - John Carmack
i've been really attracted to this set of mods for a few days. i keep coming back to this pic as a great example of just how awesome these cars can look.
And people hate the S2000 too, just not as much from what I can tell.
The power is the big problem for some folks, at least the S2000 makes HP up top.. The S2000 would literally beat the BRZ by about 10 car lengths in the 1/4 mile for example, and the S2000 isn't even that fast going straight..
Im a fan of weird colors
People will find something to complain about with everything.
It's funny because I actually like downshifting and rev matching, its a blast with this thing. My old Mazdaspeed3 made way more torque than the S2, but I prefer the S2000 power delivery.. It is not fun to rev to 5800 RPM and need to shift.
Love mine Such a fun car.
On the Dragon:
All ive seen in this thread are just stock S2000's with a drop and rims.....
Howabout some real function?
I need to buy new wheels and tires.
Coming back to this thread makes me miss my S2000.
Oh well, family takes priority now. Someday I'll own another one.
My Flickr Stream // 2008 R32 #138 // 2013 Chevy Volt // 2017 Chevy Volt
S2000's were not 40K either, MSRP of $32K when they first sold.
Anyway, you took my quote out of context and it means nothing. I was answering why perhaps more hate is geared towards the BRZ vs the S2000.
Congratulations, maybe you have a future in politics.
The test of the machine is the satisfaction it gives you. There isn't any other test. If the machine produces tranquility it's right. If it disturbs you it's wrong until either the machine or your mind is changed.
Miss my S2000 too.

To help organizations understand how, this article will first outline how traditional project management responsibilities line up with Scrum roles and then highlight the important shift in mindset required for an agile implementation to yield its benefits.
What is Scrum?
Before we begin discussing how traditional project management and Scrum line up, it is important to begin with a cursory definition of the Scrum framework. Thought most Scrum concepts will be familiar to experienced project managers, the specific language and mechanics may not.
Scrum is an agile project management approach that combines an empirical process model with clearly defined roles for the management and execution of that process. Within the Scrum framework, there are three roles: The Product Owner, the ScrumMaster, and the Team. Work is performed iteratively and incrementally within repeatable 30-day work cadences known as "Sprints." This process is managed through three primary meetings: Sprint Planning, which occurs at the beginning of the cycle and determines which work the Team will tackle; Daily Standups, which bring Team members together for a few minutes each day during the Sprint to communicate progress and dependencies; and Sprint Review, which occurs at the end of the cycle and is used to assess whether Sprint goals have been met. Finally, the process is managed through a handful of planning and progress artifacts, including "backlogs" (for planning) and "burndowns" (for reporting).
Traditional project managers will immediately recognize various aspects of the Scrum framework. For instance, its process model is built on what the PMBOK® Guide refers to as "rolling wave planning," in which the development plan is progressively elaborated and the product is built incrementally over the course of consecutive development iterations. It's also strikingly similar to the "Deming Wheel," advocated by quality guru W. Edwards Deming (i.e. "Plan, do, check, act.") and well known to any experienced project manager. However, the key difference lies in the distribution of responsibility and authority across the framework's three roles, which include all of the management functions described in the PMBOK® Guide, but are executed as a system of checks and balances among the roles.
What is Project Management?
In order to discuss how project management responsibilities align with the roles in Scrum, we first need to review the definition of those responsibilities as found in PMI's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) Fourth Edition.
According to the PMBOK® Guide, the project manager is "assigned by the performing organization to achieve project objectives." To do that, the PMBOK® Guide prescribes a collection of processes and practices in nine "knowledge areas." The heart of project management lies in the first four: scope, time (schedule), and cost (budget)--the so called "triple constraint,"--plus integration management to tie it all together. Nearly all PMs are responsible for managing the triple constraint.
In addition, many PMs are responsible for managing other aspects of their projects described in the other knowledge areas (e.g. Quality, Human "Resources," Communication, Risk and Procurement). Ultimately, which of these the PM is actually responsible for depends on the organization and the judgment of the PM and team. In practice, the application of these knowledge area processes often includes responsibility for assigning tasks to the development team, various methods of monitoring and controlling the team's execution, reporting progress to stakeholders, managing conflict, etc. As if all that wasn't enough, the PM is usually responsible for myriad other factors including acting as the de facto business analyst to help the stakeholders define the features of the product, gathering product requirements, and so forth.

Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2010
Revenue and Taxation Code
Property Taxation
Part 0.5. Implementation of Article XIII A of the California Constitution
Chapter 3.5. Change in Ownership and New Construction After the Lien Date
Article 1. Definitions and General Provisions
Section 75
75. Legislative intent. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to fully implement Article XIII A of the California Constitution and to promote increased equity among taxpayers by enrolling and making adjustments of taxes resulting from changes in assessed value due to changes in ownership and completion of new construction at the time they occur. The Legislature finds and declares that under the law in effect prior to the enactment of this chapter, recognition of these increases is delayed from four to 16 months, which results in an unwarranted reduction of taxes for some taxpayers with a proportionate and inequitable shift of the tax burden to other taxpayers.
It is also the intent of the Legislature that the provisions of this chapter shall be limited to assessments on the supplemental roll which are authorized by the provisions of this chapter and none of its provisions shall be applied, construed, or used as a basis for interpreting legislative intent when determining the effect of any other provision of this division. The Legislature finds and declares that the supplemental assessment system created by this chapter involves practical tax administration considerations which require unique solutions. Except as expressly provided in Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 75.18), these solutions are not appropriate to the general assessment of property under the provisions of Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 401) of Part 2 and the adoption of the supplemental roll assessment system is not intended to affect the valuation or assessment provisions applicable to the regular assessment roll.
History.—Stats. 1983, Ch. 1102, in effect September 27, 1983, substituted "making adjustments of taxes resulting from changes" for "taxing increases" after "and" in the first sentence. Stats. 1984, Ch. 946, in effect September 10, 1984, substituted "16" for "sixteen" after "to" in the second sentence, first paragraph and added the second paragraph thereto.
Note.—Section 30 of Stats. 1984, Ch. 946, provided notwithstanding Section 2229, R. & T.C., the requirements of that section do not apply to the exemption of property for purposes of ad valorem property taxation provided by Section 217.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, as amended by this act. No appropriation is made by this act and the state shall not reimburse any local agency for any property tax revenues lost by it pursuant to this act. Section 31 thereof provided no appropriation is made and no reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution and Section 2231 or 2234 of the Revenue and Taxation Code because Chapter 1102 of the Statutes of 1983 provided that 5 percent of the revenues collected from taxes on the supplemental roll, as well as ten million dollars ($10,000,000) appropriated to the Supplemental Roll Administrative Cost Fund, be used to reimburse counties for any increased costs resulting from the enactment of Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 75) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Section 32 thereof provided the provisions of this act shall remain in effect unless and until they are amended or repealed by a later enacted act.

The IPCC sea level numbers
• Current global model studies project that the Antarctic ice sheet will remain too cold for widespread surface melting and is expected to gain in mass due to increased snowfall. However, net loss of ice mass could occur if dynamical ice discharge dominates the ice sheet mass balance. {10.7}
• Both past and future anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions will continue to contribute to warming and sea level rise for more than a millennium, due to the timescales required for removal of this gas from the atmosphere. {7.3, 10.3}
(The above quotes document everything the SPM says about future sea level rise. The numbers in wavy brackets refer to the chapters of the full report, to be released in May.)
What is included in these sea level numbers?
Let us have a look at how these numbers were derived. They are made up of four components: thermal expansion, glaciers and ice caps (those exclude the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets), ice sheet surface mass balance, and ice sheet dynamical imbalance.
1. Thermal expansion (warmer ocean water takes up more space) is computed from coupled climate models. These include ocean circulation models and can thus estimate where and how fast the surface warming penetrates into the ocean depths.
2. The contribution from glaciers and ice caps (not including Greenland and Antarctica), on the other hand, is computed from a simple empirical formula linking global mean temperature to mass loss (equivalent to a rate of sea level rise), based on observed data from 1963 to 2003. This takes into account that glaciers slowly disappear and therefore stop contributing – the total amount of glacier ice left is actually only enough to raise sea level by 15-37 cm.
3. The contribution from the two major ice sheets is split into two parts. What is called surface mass balance refers simply to snowfall minus surface ablation (ablation is melting plus sublimation). This is computed from an ice sheet surface mass balance model, with the snowfall amounts and temperatures derived from a high-resolution atmospheric circulation model. This is not the same as the coupled models used for the IPCC temperature projections, so results from this model are scaled to mimic different coupled models and different climate scenarios. (A fine point: this surface mass balance does include some "slow" changes in ice flow, but this is a minor contribution.)
4. Finally, there is another way how ice sheets can contribute to sea level rise: rather than melting at the surface, they can start to flow more rapidly. This is in fact increasingly observed around the edges of Greenland and Antarctica in recent years: outlet glaciers and ice streams that drain the ice sheets have greatly accelerated their flow. Numerous processes contribute to this, including the removal of buttressing ice shelves (i.e., ice tongues floating on water but in places anchored on islands or underwater rocks) or the lubrication of the ice sheet base by meltwater trickling down from the surface through cracks. These processes cannot yet be properly modelled, but observations suggest that they have contributed 0 – 0.7 mm/year to sea level rise during the period 1993-2003. The projections in the table given above assume that this contribution simply remains constant until the end of this century.
As an example, take the A1FI scenario – this is the warmest and therefore defines the upper limits of the sea level range. The "best" estimates for this scenario are 28 cm for thermal expansion, 12 cm for glaciers and -3 cm for the ice sheet mass balance – note the IPCC still assumes that Antarctica gains more mass in this manner than Greenland loses. Added to this is a term according to (4) simply based on the assumption that the accelerated ice flow observed 1993-2003 remains constant ever after, adding another 3 cm by the year 2095. In total, this adds up to 40 cm, with an ice sheet contribution of zero. (Another fine point: This is slightly less than the central estimate of 43 cm for the A1FI scenario that was reported in the media, taken from earlier drafts of the SPM, because those 43 cm was not the sum of the individual best estimates for the different contributing factors, but rather it was the mid-point of the uncertainty range, which is slightly higher as some uncertainties are skewed towards high values.)
How do the new numbers compare to the previous report?

People develop voice problems for many reasons, such as misuse of their vocal cords, allergies and cancer. Mayo Clinic has voice specialists who can diagnose and treat any kind of voice disorder.
Your voice box (larynx) is made of cartilage, muscle and mucous membranes located at the top of your windpipe (trachea) and the base of your tongue. Sound is created when your vocal cords vibrate.
This vibration comes from air moving through the larynx, bringing your vocal cords closer together. Your vocal cords also help close your voice box when you swallow, preventing you from inhaling food or liquid.
If your vocal cords become inflamed, develop growths or become paralyzed, they can't work properly, and you may develop a voice disorder.
Some common voice disorders include:
Many factors can contribute to a voice disorder, including:
Read more about laryngitis, leukoplakia, allergies, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), throat cancer and vocal cord paralysis at Mayo Clinic.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., are ranked among the Best Hospitals for ear, nose and throat by U.S. News & World Report.
Your doctor will ask you detailed questions about your voice problems and examine you thoroughly. A topical anesthetic may be applied to numb your tissues before your doctor uses one of the following tools to examine your vocal cords:
Additional tests are sometimes used:
Depending on your diagnosis, Mayo Clinic doctors will recommend one or more treatments:
Removal of lesions. Noncancerous lesions (polyps, nodules and cysts) on the vocal cords may need to be surgically removed.
Doctors at Mayo Clinic remove noncancerous, precancerous and cancerous lesions — including recurrent respiratory papillomatosis and white patches (leukoplakia) — using microsurgery, carbon-dioxide laser surgery, and when appropriate, the newest laser treatments including potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser treatment.
KTP is a state-of-the-art therapy that treats lesions on the vocal cords by cutting off the blood supply to the lesion, allowing the lesion to be removed while preserving the maximum amount of underlying tissue.
Sometimes one vocal cord may stop moving (become paralyzed). If you have one paralyzed vocal cord, you might often complain of hoarseness. You might also complain of choking when you drink liquids, but rarely have trouble swallowing solid foods. Sometimes the problem goes away with time.
If not, one of two procedures can be used to push the paralyzed vocal cord closer to the middle of the windpipe so that the vocal cords can meet and vibrate closer together. This improves the voice and allows the larynx to close when you swallow. Treatments include:

THE cough is loud, persistent and coming from the next room. Springing from my sleeping bag, I'm struck by the intense cold - it may be a balmy May night but it feels like winter.
I hit the lights. It's just after 3am and in the four hours I've been asleep the furniture in the room has been rearranged.
It sounds like a cheap horror film. But strange forces really seem to be at work in a normal family home. And Sue Eckersley and her two kids are understandably terrified.

Just a little reminder as many of us prep for or already in hunting season.
As I spent last weekend up at my girlfriends farm in NY, I was reminded of a couple of things, that sadly, do occur.
1) Wooded areas are not always public property. Especially in an obvious farming area, that land is possibly owned by someone. Always go to landowner and ask permission to hunt their land. Most times, in a farming area, they are more than happy to allow it due to crop damage.
However, not asking permission puts a bad look on all hunters, and can be dangerous. Sometimes landowners allow trappers, which means there may be one or two you don't know about. That is just one of many scenarios that can occur.
2) Spotlighting deer is always frowned upon by landowners. For those of you who don't know, spotlighting is a practice of driving around areas at night with a spotlight, trying to find where the deer are. This can highly irritate landowners, and once again, puts a bad look on all hunters.
3) If you are confronted by anti-hunters, be polite to them. They cannot do anything to you if you are polite. If you firearm is loaded, unload it. Then quietly excuse yourself and walk away. If this is a problem in your are, check your local laws, some states have anti-harassment laws on the books.
4) Be respectful of the land. Clean up all of your trash and try to leave as little of a "footprint" as possible. Trashing areas only leads to public resentment of hunters.
5) When transporting your kill via roads in your vehicle, cover it up. Most people ignore that its hunting season, and don't want to see a bloody carcass while they're driving home.
6) Don't steal other peoples things. If someone else has hung up a trail camera, feeder, etc., leave them there.
If you have any other suggestions, please do post them.

That money comes in handy for all of the little projects that WILL come up.
2: You live on a boat. Let that soak in for a minute. Now, if you are cold, move toward the equator. If you are hot move away from said imaginary line. Repeat as necisary. Make friends that do the same. Around these parts you're called a snowbird. In November, you head to the caribian. Then in may you go back to the carolinas (cheap dockage and cost of living).
3: Don't buy a fridge. Keep the ice box, use block ice, and use that money to buy a small chest-style freezer to keep meats, vegitables ect.
4: 28ft is plenty of boat for a single person or a couple as long as you stay in a place with good weather. Your cockpit is like an extra living area.
5: Keep all of your tools organized, labeled, and stowed when not in use.
6: if you are maried or have a spouse of some sort, you do not need a tv. There is plenty to do/talk about on a boat. Have a few cocktails and enjoy your suroundings and each other. If you reqire ambient noise, an fm radio comes in handy.
7: learn to fish, and buy a crab trap. There is nothing better than fresh fish/shelfish, and other than the initial purchase of tackle/equipt it's FREE. You can get bait for the crab pot at a local fish market any time. Just tip the worker a couple bucks and you will have access to all the fish heads you would ever want.
8: boom tent/bimini is a necesity.
9: if you don't fall on love with it, go back to the hill, my anchorage is a bit crowded anyhow.
Soon to join the live aboard crew
Hello there everyone,
Happy New Year to you all.
I am 34 and also going to be living aboard a second hand boat I am buying, from the summer. I want to circumnavigate the americas, mostly alone will have other crew at times. I've not yet bought anything, it will be between 26 and 33 feet. I've been to Seattle to look at some 20 boats, most i could not afford, and I have been looking for three months now, as I had a lot to learn. Im making some moves to buy over the next few months. at the moment looking at a 30ft Maurice Griffith that looks a good old fashioned live aboard recently renovated.
I have a dog and cat too so have the same issues with cat trays and them adapting to the boat. My dog has been on boats before but mostly small ones and never to live aboard.
This is a really great forum thanks for being here! =)
|I live weekends on my Hunter 27 and it works well for just me. You need to consider how many people, do you need running water, heat/cool air etc. I enjoy the smaller spaces, especially in cold weather, when it's windy and the boat rocks me like a cradle to sleep//
Must have
Didn't know how handy a bucket could be.
number 1 way to keep the wife happy, hot showers. It's a pain in the butt, but with a woman, it seems to be worth it, at least in my experience.
good luck!
s/v firefly
Thank you for pointing out what should have been obvious to me. I will endeavor to keep her social life in mind, as she seems to always remember mine.
You are correct in your assumption that our friends and family have tried to talk us out of becoming full-time cruisers. They have used arguments of the dangers of hurricanes, lightning storms ("you know that Florida has the highest incidents of lightning deaths..."), losing the kids to the sea, putting a strain on the marriage, etc., ad-nauseum.
You have all heard those arguments before so I won't go into my responses to them. They mean well, but they are all saying, essentially, the same thing-- "it's just 'not normal.'" And for them, "not normal" is the same as "crazy." I do have this to say, however: I challenge my nay-saying friends to go to the biography section of any library and look for the books written about great men and women who led ordinary lives.
It is my belief that extroardinary people are born of extra-ordinary childhoods. I wish for my children, much more than a mundane, trivial existence, so, it is with a mix of trepidation and anticipation that my wife and I are making such a radical lifestyle change. We are hoping that this new life-aboard will give our family something that most never get-- substance.
To be sure, we will make our boat as safe for the children as possible-- netting inside the life-lines, PDF rules, radios, EPIRB, and even a Sat-phone if we venture too far from civilization. Good sailors minimize risks, and I expect to show my kids how to be good sailors... by example. That, I expect, will entail a lot of hard work and some self-discipline, too. I'm 'good with that.' Beth, my wife and soon-to-be First Officer, is okay with it, too.
Perhaps I will start a blog, like so many others have done, but this is enough for one post.
Thanks for the encouragement. I will let her know that she has an on-line sailing friend.

Thanks for your responses.
I srongly suggest you and your wife read "The Essentials of Living Aboard A Boat" by Mark Nichoals. It's a no frills look at what it like and gives plenty of practical advice.
When it comes to safety, I can't recommend strongly enough to include a satellite phone. I have a 26 yr old daughter who works in the yachting business, she was in the South Pacific when the tsunami hit American Samoa. That satellite phone was her only connection to home and it took twelve hours to get the call through to me. Make sure you can reach your land people, not only our rescue services. You're taking your children, I'm sure someone has told you how crazy you are. Give them a satellite number for extreme emergencies, you'll all feel better.
Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy! You are a lucky family!
What type of boat are you looking for???
Drop me en e-mail I'd love to hear your story from the beginning! Seagoing woman are somewhat rare tell your wife to consider me a friend! firstname.lastname@example.com

text: I am teaching conversational english to 14-15 year olds in Thailand. I have been asked to run a 2 day English camp for one of the local schools. This is only my first year teaching here, and I am not sure how to set this up. I have plenty of games for them to play, and some basic ideas on a short lesson before each game to prepare them. I am not sure on how to set the whole thing up as an organized package though. This is the first camp of its kind in the area. If I do well, I can get more extra jobs like this to suppliment my income. Can you recommend a basic 8 hour (4 hours each day) plan or outline to try and follow, so I keep this activity running smoothly and efficiently? I want the kids to learn, and to have fun, but I need to look sharp doing it for the school also. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
