Gervinho says he is enjoying his new role as a centre forward.
The Ivorian has started the season brightly, and is Arsenal's top scorer so far with five goals to his name.
And while acknowledging that he still has a lot to learn in his new position, Gervinho believes he has the ability to be a success up front.
"In the middle, it gives you lots of options," he told the Official Arsenal Magazine.
"You can make a run on the right, on the left, deep in the centre. It's a big advantage. I feel good there and I am working hard to improve in that position.
"I don't have the physical ability to play in the air or to hold the ball up so I am learning how I can make the best of my qualities for that position."
`'I am working very hard at training to improve my efficiency, to be more clinical in front of goal. It has been my flaw so far. I know I still have a lot more to learn but I am more confident now - the start of the season and my goals so far have showed that I have improved a lot."
Gervinho is putting a lot of that improvement down to the work of Arsène Wenger, who the forward believes has played a key role in his continued development.
"He has been very important," Gervinho said. He talks to me a lot, he tells me what I did right and wrong and what I should do better in the next game. It's very important to have a relationship like that with your manager.
"I will be happy with my season only if the team does well and wins things," he continued. "I don't mind about my own stats, goals or assists. I want to help the team to have a great season. I will give everything and never give up."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The Thesis/Examination Proposal
The proposal is developed under the 3-unit graduate course TA 260. Working with the Graduate Coordinator, you must find a member of the Television-Radio-Film-Theatre faculty to endorse your Proposal and serve as First Reader. You develop the Proposal according to the graduation calendar and the guidelines below.
Proposal Components:
Statement of Problem/Question
Begin by stating the problem/asking the question clearly and concisely. Identify a problem/question to which you have no answer, and to which previous research provides only inadequate or incomplete answers. The Thesis Proposal does not argue a thesis; rather, it sets up the framework for an argument, the rules by which you will answer the question you have asked.
Why is your project important? How does it make a difference? Why do you care about it? Why should we care about it? Why is now a good time for this investigation?
Indicate key terms within the proposal which need definition or which conceal discursive or theoretical difficulties.
Literature Review
Provide a brief critique of the previous discourse on the problem. Outline the major positions of understanding in relation to the problem. These "positions" come from scholarly sources, but also from representatives of the popular culture, from artists, intellectuals and journalists, lawyers, and from voices in history. Positions are not always articulated in written form or even in language. Performances themselves, in all media, articulate ideological objectives and are part of the "literature." Please do not waste time (ours as well as yours) claiming that no previous discourse exists in relation to your subject matter. What do you intend to study? Discourse on a problem may be much older and more diverse than the narrow subject matter of interest to you.
How do you plan to solve the problem or answer the question in your Thesis Proposal? Here you discuss the subject matter which exemplifies the problem/question. What are the chief sources of evidence? Identify the nature of the evidence (text, images, statistical data, interviews, surveys, human subjects, biographical material, videos, archive materials, etc.) and the authority of the evidence in relation to the problem. How much evidence do you seek? By what principle do you select the evidence? How do you plan to use the evidence to structure an argument in response to the problem? How will you interpret the evidence? From what theoretical perspective, what position or bias?
Is the problem narrow enough or sufficiently focused for the evidence to provide a persuasive solution? Do you have the skills or resources necessary to support your proposed work? Do you have the foreign language, mathematical, or technical abilities required to solve the problem with authority? Do you access to necessary archives, libraries or persons? Do you have the resources necessary to carry out experimental performance projects or projects involving analysis of human subjects responses? Does your project require human subjects research authorization from the University?
The 10-15 page proposal must give a tentative title for the project, and this title, along with your name, name of your First Reader, and the date, should form the cover page for the proposal.
For Thesis Proposals: Indicate a preliminary chapter breakdown. Conventional thesis structure is five chapters. Don't imagine fewer chapters, avoid more than seven.
For Exam Proposals: Identify three (3) distinct areas of theoretical inquiry for which you will be responsible in the Exam question on theory. These areas may relate to the ideas of a single significant theorist (e.g. Brecht), a school of theoretical thought (e.g. semiotics), or a genre of theoretical inquiry (e.g. acting). The areas you identify for study may or may not relate directly to subject area of your other research. Your bibliography should contain a preliminary list of key readings for each of the three specific areas of theory you identify.
Attach a preliminary bibliography, which identifies your major sources of evidence (publications, archives, videos, performance documentation, interviews, etc.). Use MLA Guidelines for correct reference and bibliographic citation.

Utah's home schedule came to an end Saturday, but athletic director Chris Hill already was looking forward to the 2013 season, when the Utes have seven home games.
The Utes will play Utah State and Weber State next season at home in addition to league foes Oregon State, UCLA, Stanford, Arizona State and Colorado.
Hill estimated the Utes make $1.4 million a game on ticket sales alone, which will provide a nice bump in revenue for the program with the additional game.
Hill said the school isn't anticipating raising single-game ticket prices, although season ticket holders will have to pay more for the additional game.
"We're not trying to add more, but just keep things the same," Hill said. "Hopefully fans will understand that. When we go back to six games, the ticket prices will reflect that."
The Utes plan to alternate a seven-game home schedule and six-game home schedule based on their Pac-12 schedules, which alternate five and four home games.
Hill says that ideally, one of those home opponents will always be a FCS team.
"We still get a good crowd for that game because it's early and fans are excited," he said.
Seniors honored
The Utes honored 25 seniors before kickoff. The class has a 32-17 record and has played in three bowl games, but coach Kyle Whittingham said this week the biggest accomplishment was that 18 of them are on track to graduate next month.
"That is phenomenal," he said. "We've never had that kind of academic thing happen, and it's a tribute to the seniors' work ethic off the field and everything they've done in their time here. It's a high-water mark for us."
The seniors were linebacker Boo Andersen, offensive lineman Sam Brenner, receiver DeVonte Christopher, receiver Reggie Dunn, linebacker Dave Fagergren, defensive end Lorenzo Ford, snapper Patrick Greene, quarterback Jon Hays, defensive tackle Dave Kruger, defensive back Ryan Lacy, defensive back Moe Lee, defensive tackle Star Lotulelei, offensive lineman Miles Mason, receiver Luke Matthews, fullback Max Moala, tight end Kendrick Moeai, defensive tackle Joape Pela, kicker Coleman Petersen, tight end Dallin Rogers, tight end David Rolf, punter Sean Sellwood, offensive lineman Tevita Stevens, defensive back Reggie Topps, defensive back Lewis Walker and running back John White.
Stevens, Kruger, Matthews, Sellwood and Greene are all four-year starters.
Although there were plenty of empty seats in Rice-Eccles Stadium, the game was still a sellout for the Utes, the program's 18th in a row. Arizona returned about 600 tickets, which were sold by Utah before kickoff.

grats on the sellout. i really love the text but personally would have liked to see a better image to go with it. guh, dinosaurs.
I think a lot of people are against this design for the wrong reasons.
The point of shirt design is not to be artistic in the same way that a painter or a writer is artistic (though they certainly can and do overlap). The point is to produce something that someone would want to wear. You can go for specific demographics, as this one does, or a more general public audience, but either way, you are pandering to a public of some kind. This shirt does what it is supposed to do: it produces a product and a catch that people are willing to pay for. And it is well proven that popular humor sells. Not everything has to look good on a canvas as well.
I'm fine with it. No, its not my favorite design and no, I don't think its incredibly witty. But it doesn't have to be. There is no minimum high-brow marker you have to reach before you get on the ride. That's OK.

why did they stop at 2999?
I enjoy this one very much. Good job.
It's an overwhelmingly bad shirt.
My guess is the discrepancy comes from most wooters who bought one not remembering how to use a keyboard. Or else having theirs shorted out by their own drool

Stars Send Green Bay to 2-0 Start in Horizon League Play
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – If Green Bay (11-3, 2-0 HL) continues to play its second halves like it has been lately, the wins will continue to come. The Phoenix trailed by 10 in the first half, but used a 25-7 second-half run to down visiting Youngstown State (9-8, 0-2 HL) 85-69 on Saturday afternoon at the Resch Center. It was the sixth-straight win for the Phoenix, which closed its homestand with a perfect 5-0 record.
Junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) led the Phoenix run, tallying 13 points and eight assists in the second half before finishing just shy of a triple-double with 24 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. Senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) also reached 20 points in the Phoenix victory as both of the All-Horizon League Phoenix players shot 9-of-16 from the field.
Hitting eight of its first 12 shots, Youngstown State jumped out to a 25-15 lead 10 minutes into the game. The Phoenix used an 8-0 run to close the gap, but the Penguins led 34-25 with 4:43 to play before halftime. Getting seven points from Sykes and six from Brown, Green Bay closed the half with a 14-4 run to lead 40-38 at halftime.
The 7-foot-1 Brown had 14 points at the break and finished with 20 points, five rebounds and three blocked shots. With his three blocks, Brown has 50 rejections on the season and now owns the top-four spots on the program's single-season blocks chart.
The Phoenix extended the run into the second half, scoring the first six points. After YSU closed to 46-45, Green Bay scored 25 of the next 32 points to increase its lead to 71-52 with 7:51 remaining.
The second half run has become a common theme for the Phoenix during its winning streak. In the second halves of the past six games, Green Bay is outscoring its opponents by 18 points while shooting 59.8 percent (98-164) and holding its opponents to 28.5 percent shooting from the field (49-172).
As Sykes continued to produce with the shot and the pass, Green Bay's lead reached as many as 20. Sykes scored or assisted on 14 of the team's 22 second-half field goals.
Green Bay dominated the paint, holding a 58-20 edge in points in the paint and outrebounding the Penguins 38-31. Led by Sykes, who did not commit a turnover, Green Bay had 18 assists and just 10 turnovers.
After YSU's quick start, the Penguins made just 13 of their last 40 shots from the field. Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year Kendrick Perry was held seven points below his average with 14 points on 4-of-10 shooting.
Aiding Sykes and Brown, junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) finished with 16 points and seven rebounds and sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) tallied 10 points, seven rebounds and four steals.
Green Bay returns to action on Tuesday, playing its final non-conference game of the season at Chicago State at 7 p.m.
All tickets for the 2013-14 men's basketball season are on sale now. For more information about season tickets, ticket packages and more, please visit the ticketing page at GreenBayPhoenix.com.For the latest and most up-to-date information on Green Bay Athletics, please visit GreenBayPhoenix.com.

Editor's Note: This article originally appeared in the Johns Hopkins Nano-Bio Magazine and was written by Colin Paul, a third-year graduate student at Johns Hopkins University in the Konstantopoulos lab. He invites anyone with questions about or interest in the Incentive Mentoring Program to contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
When I was in high school, I had an inspiring chemistry teacher. He was funny, he rewarded hard work, and he let us light salt fires in paths around the soapstone lab benches in his classroom. He stayed after school to help my twin brother and me build a "ChemE Car" that used a chemical reaction to stop after a given distance, and we placed second in a competition for local high schools held by the University of Tulsa. He made the subject interesting, and his passion for it was contagious.
Before taking his class, I wasn't sure what I wanted to study in college. But as the year progressed, his mentorship helped me decide to pursue chemical engineering, and I'm still doing that as a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University.
As a scientist, I hope I can inspire others to consider a career in science. Mentorship is particularly important to underrepresented groups in the sciences, such as minorities or women. It's so important that the National Institutes of Health supports science education and outreach through its Office of Science Education, and the National Science Foundation has made it a goal "to expand efforts to increase participation from underrepresented groups and diverse institutions throughout the United States in all NSF activities and programs."
Johns Hopkins University is also increasingly leading efforts to improve Baltimore communities. In an editorial published in the magazine of the School of Advanced International Studies, Hopkins president Ron Daniels stated the need for Hopkins to help revitalize Baltimore and outlined some of the initiatives to do so.
Faculty, staff, and trainees at Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) are challenged to become more involved in mentoring pre-college students. Recently, INBT partnered with the Incentive Mentoring Program (IMP) to hold a "Science Day" for students at the Academy for College and Career Exploration (ACCE), a Baltimore high school near the Hopkins Homewood campus. IMP, founded in 2004 by Hopkins biomedical engineering graduate Sarah Hemminger, pairs mentors with underperforming Baltimore city high school students who were at risk of not graduating. The program has grown to incorporate several hundred volunteers from the East Baltimore and Homewood Hopkins campuses.
IMP provides comprehensive mentoring and tutoring to enrolled students, offering educational, legal, and career support to the students and their families. IMP is not merely a tutoring program in which volunteers help students with homework. Instead, it provides students with the social support they may otherwise lack. Teams of five to six mentors are assigned to each student, and these mentors coalesce into an extended family around the student, many of whom come from environments where even graduating from high school is an obstacle. So far, all of the students enrolled in IMP have earned their high school diplomas or equivalent degree.
As IMP grew, students from the laboratories of INBT-affiliated faculty members Peter Searson, Konstantinos Konstantopoulos, Hai-Quan Mao, Justin Hanes, and Andre Levchenko started to get involved. INBT sought to unite the groups for an event to encourage science education among the IMP students. The idea to hold a joint event came from Andrew Wong of the Searson lab, an INBT trainee who has been instrumental in IMP's community service activities. I led the event, held on February 27, with Charli Dawidczyk, a doctoral student from the Searson lab.
Our first activity was to build a simple speaker using foam plates, magnets, and wire. Students learned how electromagnetic forces, whose strength and frequency vary depending on the song, deflect the foam plate to create sound waves when the plate is glued to a magnet with a coil of wire around it. The speakers weren't loud, but everyone participated, even though they might have been more interested in the strong neodymium magnets.
Next, we moved from physics to chemistry and made liquid nitrogen ice cream. We discussed how liquid nitrogen boils at -321°F, much colder than water, and how it would very quickly freeze our liquid ice cream mix. The students made excellent chefs and were excited to see water vapor roil over the lip of the bowl as liquid nitrogen was stirred in to freeze the cream. The recipe got several thumbs up, and the demonstration really held their attention.
I hope the students saw how science comes up in everyday life, even in things we don't always think about, like music and cooking. By having fun and doing experiments with their mentors and friends, they may realize that a career in science is an option for them. In many ways, IMP is an experiment on how to provide extended families for at-risk students. Problems are tackled on a trial-and error basis by volunteers from a variety of backgrounds. Often, an initial solution does not work; but, just like in the lab, we think about what went wrong and try to improve our approach.
The PIs at INBT have encouraged us to make a difference in the community. I'm grateful that my education at Hopkins has included IMP and the wonderful students and volunteers comprising the organization.

By Joe Brewin
Kieran Gibbs has hailed Arsenal's ruthless streak after Saturday's emphatic 6-1 victory over Southampton at Emirates Stadium.
Gibbs himself was in fine form, grabbing two assists from left back in the first half. And he praised his team-mates for sustaining their relentless pressure despite leading by three goals at the break.
"It may seem easy when you go a lot of goals up in the first half but then it is difficult to really have the game plan in the second half," Gibbs told Arsenal Player. "We managed to keep the pressure on and the flow of the game going. Everybody kept it simple and it was a good team performance.
"Southampton were not to be underestimated, they are a good team but their league position doesn't reflect that. Their performances had been good at the start of the season but we prepared well for them. We had a good start.
"I will try [and claim the first goal] but I don't know how well I'll succeed! There was a bit of luck involved but as long as we win I don't care."
Victory sent Arsenal back up to third in the Premier League table and Gibbs believes the team - most notably Arsenal's summer signings - are hitting their stride.
"People say it was a slow start but I think all we were lacking was a bit of quality in the final third," said the left back. "We had a bit of getting to know each other as a team with the new signings, and we look like a new team now.
"That is obviously why it took us a while to get going. But I think of the four games we have played so far we have dominated all of them and we want to continue doing that. As long as we play the way we want to play, the results should come."

Same-day celebrations are scheduled Saturday for completion of two of the state's biggest highway projects ever the $1.1 billion rebuilding of Interstate 15 in Utah County, and the initial $730 million phase of the Mountain View Corridor Highway in western Salt Lake County.
The first celebration is at 10 a.m. for the Mountain View Corridor on that new road (about 5700 West) at 9000 South. After a ribbon cutting, the Utah Department of Transportation is offering a "Polar Bear 5k Fun Run" to let people run on the new road before they can drive on it.
At about 2 p.m., traffic will open on the last section opening, for now, of that highway between the Old Bingham Highway and 5400 South.
Earlier this year, other sections opened from about 16000 South to the Old Bingham Highway. Much of the initial phase is essentially two widely separated, one-way frontage roads for a future freeway that eventually will be built between them.
The Mountain View Corridor Highway will eventually run 35 miles between Interstate 80 in Salt Lake County and Lehi.
The second ceremony on Saturday is at 1 p.m. at the Sam White Bridge (about 1100 South) over I-15 in American Fork. Gov. Gary Herbert and other officials are scheduled to be on hand for remarks and an official ribbon-cutting. All lanes were opened on the project last month, although some finishing work has continued through this week.
The I-15 rebuild added two lanes in each direction along a 26-mile stretch from Lehi to Spanish Fork, rebuilt 10 freeway interchanges and replaced or modified 63 bridges.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I got sucked in, too. New to Sailnet, I somehow think things are current, but will check the post dates from now on. Thank you all.
|I'm elsewhere on Sailnet, asking "Am I nuts to ditch the diesel for an outboard?" and I'm following the collective advice to get to know the diesel. Still, I know the C26 (and envy your shallow draft K/CB) and you'd have to cut up a lot to fit a diesel. I once owned a Bristol 26 and 27, both with outboards and did a survey on the Bristol page. Of 35 replies, the conclusion was 6-8 HP, four-stroke, high-thrust prop (very important) and 25" shaft (also very important to keep prop low in a seaway.) Use the Garelick motor mount that hikes the engines 15" up and I think you'll be great. I'm headed for the Bahamas myself in 2012. Look for Nanagram, a Caliber 28

Perhaps newer diesels run at higher rpms and have more torque than before, but if not, this could be an expensive drag on your trip.
diesels have MORE torque than gas.. torque is rotational force, not HP... for the same hp diesels have WAY more torque.
what has happened with these swap outs is that the rpm changes...
if you switch from an atomic 4 to a diesel, you will have to at the minimum have the prop re pitched.. maybe even an new different diameter prop...
a diesel inboard is the most reliable (other than electric) propulsion you can have. by their design they last longer.. they use a light oil for combustion. this in and of itself will help lubricate moving parts.
but i do agree that if your boat did not originally have an inboard... stick with the outboard.
outboards cavitate (lift out of the water in rough water when you need them most) no matter how well they are mounted. on the plus side they run great and for hours on end, no where near the problems as 2strokes.
I love my Diesel inboard and don't think I'd ever want a boat without one. on a 26ft CB boat though, The question of where the inboard would go in relation to the cb trunk and the cb when it's up, engine access, engine cradle, batteries, then the controls, the shaft log, shaft, cutless bearing and strut, water lift muffler, raw water intake with strainer, diesel tank, tank plumbing, filter, pump, bilge access just to mention a few things.
Your taking a 26ft cb boat on the ocean? Hope you have the experiance for such a trip!
Go Outboard do NOT redesign...
I have a 25' Morgan with a Yanmar and a 27' catalina with a Nissan 4 stroke, I have to pull the morgan every few months and scrape the prop with teh Morgan, when it's clean it's great but I would not redesign my Catalina to utilize the Yanmar, I like being able to pull the engine off in 60 seconds if I need service, for the money you put into redesign to support the Yanmar you can have a spare outboard...
If the boat can take the inboard diesel without weeks and weeks of modification, then it would be diesel for me.
It will outlast any outboard, 2 or 3 times over, and storing gasoline aboard for any reasonable range will be difficult.
The diesel will use less fuel, has no spark ignition to get damp, and is a better set-up for heavier weather.
For me, it would be diesel.

Diesel Inboard vs Petrol Outboard

My question is, I have on my boat now a 9.9 hp Yamaha 4 stroke outboard. I have the opportunity to purchase a used 9 hp yanmar diesel w/ trans. for about $1500. From what I can see it will cost me another $1000 in parts to install the diesel.
My S/O seems to think that the outboard will "wear out" getting to the Bahamas & that I should fork over the $$$ to do the diesel. What I am looking for is experienced honest opinions on the matter.
I''m not trying to prove anyone wrong or right, I would just like ideas before I make a decision that I can''t undo.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Jims next boat was a Hurley 27 (AKA Dockrell 27). Less grand than the Westerly but IMHO its Betamarine BZ13 (a twin) was impeccable, SMOOTH RUNNING, of course the previous owner paid a lot of money for that engine. I sailed (motored actually) round The Lizard on that boat doing Plymouth, Falmouth, Penzance. At times did hear the Beta race as the prop lost its grip whilst punching against wind and tide so I doubt whether an outboard could have done it. Even with diesel economy several imperial gallons were consumed and an outboard would have used double the amount. Two mishaps occurred on that trip. Firstly the pitching of the boat frayed through the cord supporting the radar reflector. It fell from the crosstrees and was blown backwards into the cockpit where it felled the skipper. The next mishap was a broken battery terminal. Cheap zinc alloy plated to look like brass! Luckily we had Mole grips (vise grip pliers) on board, but those fake brass battery terminals ought to be banned as they are a safety hazard.
Good Luck! but as always its horses for courses.
Diesel vs 4 stroke outboard???
I am not exactly sure of your situation but if you are considering re-powering with an outboard and... would like to have a diesel... there are diesel outboards. Yanmar makes 27 and 36hp ob''s, not sure if there are other models. Might be a possible solution for you. Something worth checking into. Sorry I cannot be more specific.
Hope this helps.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I'm trying to,
but no success yet.
not yet! a lot my friends enjoy my zines and have talked about wanting to also make one, but havent yet ):
and i havent met anyone around here that makes them yet
I do mainly art zines - meaning mostly my artwork. I try to get other artist friends to make something or do a collab but interest is lukewarm. They're afraid of someone stealing their artwork.
when i did it - and this was pre-facebook/myspace/etc. - i mainly did a lot of fliering around shops and coffee places in downtown, midtown, the university where i attended ... basically, anywhere that had a community board where i could put something up. it worked pretty well.

Aw, this shirt is adorable. Cute puppy!
My only change would be to add a sock (my dogs always stole mine to sleep on), a rope toy (Booda Bone), and a frisbee.
Much respect though. I usually buy shirts with dogs on them.

He killed the dinosaur, then buried it. The question is, where did he encounter a living dinosaur? Assumably it was a pet of the cyclops.
Is..is that a Labyrinth reference that I spy?
Edit: Pit puppies might be the most adorable puppies in the world and the above pits are gorgeous. Going to second Agrant's PSA. Also, city spay/neuter clinics give sweet deals on microchips. Mine charges $5 instead of $50.

You could attempt to remove it with the clone stamp in Adobe Photoshop :P. "Artificial neutering".

This is a very clever idea. It's neat that it's inspired from your own new puppy. ^^

"Needs some work" is a fairly open-ended statement that could mean a new battery or a complete deck recore... details will help, as will pictures, but caution is called for. It's easy to get into a 'steal of a deal' and end up paying and paying until the boat is 'right'.. often more in the end than buying a better version to start with. Not to mention the sailing time lost in the meantime

My two cents!
I have lived aboard sailboat in south Florida for the last decade. The truth is that the 1980's Catalina, and hunters are cheap built crap. They came out the factory with the cheapest winches, and equipment they could put on them, and the build quality of the glass is inferior to the 70's production boats. Go with something that was built better like an old colombia, or a morgan or cape dory.
The Morgans are priced to sell and are more blue water quality than a hunter. here is a link on a nice 34 morgan for sale that is better than both the boats you are looking at, and for $11,500.00 you would have a much better sailboat for cruising on. Morgan 34 sailboat for sale I have lived on a 1979 San Juan 24, and a 1968 Colombia 28ft, 1975 Grampian 28ft. And If I could go back I would buy a Morgan over all of them. If your going to go out into blue water I would say look around before buying anything cause if its priced really low, and seems to good to be true, It probably is ! Good Luck and Fair winds.
|I pretty much agree with mitiempos assessment of the Contest. The keel on my 29 is basically a long fin keel with attached rudder. The keel is very narrow and the bilge quite firm. A few years after my 1969 29', they actually seperated the keel and rudder so that there is less wetted surface area, and the keel is hung from a skeg. Because the hulls are relatively narrow( 8' 9") on my 29, it is easily driven and the boats are actually quite fast for a cruising boat and weatherly to boot. As Mitiempo points out, they are very similar to albergs, and such of that period, my 29 is almost identical in most ways to a Triton.
|The contest is a different type of sailboat, heavier with a long keel but I don't see it as a slow boat really. Similar to Albergs, early Seafarers, Spencers, and early Pearson boats. A lot of people would sooner be in the Contest in a blow offshore than the Hunter. But I don't think the Hunter is a bad boat just designed for a different use - coastal vs offshore.
If sailing performance has any bearing
on your decision, I would go with the Hunter.
And at that price you really can't go wrong,
even if you gave it away after a couple of
years of use, you would have gotten your
moneys worth.
I was suprised to note that the designer of
the Contest is also credited with the
Flying Dutchman and FJ, both are awesome
classic designs. However it looks like he
missed the boat with his keel boat designs.
The Contest will be slow under sail.
Another thing to note, is that the Hunters of
the '70s and '80s were vastly different animals
than the Dockuminiums of today, they were well
designed and built sailboats.
|Just checked on Yachtworld and there is a nice looking Yankee 30 for around 9K. They are thought to be really good boats. Check it out.
Different view of Contest
While I usually agree with Jeffs assessments of boats and respect his obvious knowledge on most things regarding boats, I have to respectfully disaggree with his assessment of the Contest. While I don't doubt his own experience with his contest it is entirely the opposite of my own. I have owned a 1967 Contest 29 for many Years and have sailed it extensively and have been in some pretty heavy sea with it during this time. I have never had a problem with oilcanning. It is interesting that another boat that alot of people feel to be a well made boat, the Cal 2-29 which I also owned for several years and sailed quite a bit between the hawaian islands I found to be terrible in regards to oilcanning..even had the bulkheads come adrift during some nasty passages in the alanuihaha channel. In similar conditions my Contest 29 was stiff and solid. So perhaps it is just particular boats of the same type where an occasional one might not be asl well put together as its sister boats.? AT any rate, I found the Contest to be well built, and far ahead in terms of construction as other boast of her era. Conyplex had been a pioneer in fiberglass boat building and even back then used temperature controlled indoor curing facilities, and used a lot of structural stifeners in the hull rather than just heavy glass work. The hulls were built to Loyds A1 offshore standrds and my Contest ha a certic ficate attesting to that as well as a copy of the hull and deck plan I have of it with the Loyds A1 rating and signature. Also, the hulls and deck are totally uncored and of solid glass so no core rot/delamination issues. Instead, the hull and deck is stiffened by forms and a completely fully tabbed and bonded wood interior. They do use a liner for the overhead. The hull deck joint is very tough and never has leaked a drop or given me any issues. The deck has a molded in toe rail and the hull is actually inserted into the hollow on the underside of this toe rail which was filled with mishmash basically epoxy resin and fillerboding the two together, then the whole thing is glassed together on the inside with a heavy layup of glasss. The hull has a teak rub rail that is then riveted with monel rivets mechnically fastening the two together, this is actualll done before the interior glass is apllied on the joint so the rivets are completelt sealed on the inside. The exteriorhard ware such as the stanchions are installed with stainless backing plates and then these are also glassed over on the inside. Since it is not cored even if there are bedding leaks ths is not a big issue though of course like all exterior hardware one should maintain a good bedding on the hardware. The good part is that this is the driest boat I have ever owned as far as interior leaks from hardware, toerails, hull /deck jopints, etc go. The glass work also was all done very well, clean, smooth, without any sharppieces or edges. ALso , all the hardware was made of electroplolished stainless steel and it has held up beautifully. The interior joinery was very high quality mahogany and mohagany ply, as well as a solid teak sole. Granted, the blocks were made of tufnol, but at the time that was considered state of the art in that it was lite, but strong, and I still have most of the original stuff and it is stilll in excellent condition although due to upgrading I am sure alot of it could be replaced. Also, I have to agree with Jeffs opinion of the wiring... it was truly bad...zip cord!! and that is one thing that did have to be replaced. ALso, If the teak rubrail needs work it is alot of trouble to replace as the rivets have to be drilled out. I have to say all in all, my contest was one of the best boats I have owned, it sailed remarkably well, did great in heavy weather and had a beautiful,if somewhat small interior. I also have to point out that this is just my experience with this one particular model ie: the 1967 29' but I believe most of the others of this vintage were all builtg pretty much the same way. I still have it too but have now moved up and onto my Freedom 33 which I live aboard so I do have an interest in providing another view of these fine boats as I would like to sell it
|Looking at the ebay photos of the Contest, I was pleasantly surprised to see little or no water intrusion damage. Ports, fittings, hatches, shrouds, etc. usually leak, especially when they've had more than 30 years to do so, and then leave traces in stains on the fiberglass or brightwork. Nothing like that is apparent. In contrast to that, the ports on the Hunter look like they'd crack when you tightened down the dogs, and leak unmercifully with every heavy dewfall. Get some paint for the Contest's deck & cabin ( the gray that's showing might be primer coat starting to show through) and you'll have a nice looking boat. The skeg-mounted rudder is a nice touch too.
The trick is to do as much as possible yourself. There is nothing on a boat that requires a degree or long apprenticeship to do. If you are able to write big cheques, no problem. But if you're like most I know you learn to do it yourself. Today there is so much on the web it's easy to find many doing the same thing, complete with pictures and step by step instructions. Even if it's an engine problem I couldn't take care of myself I would remove the part myself and take it to the shop instead of paying $80 an hour for a mechanic to remove it. I am refitting/modifying my CS27 and so far have only had the experts do two things. Welding (new fuel tank and some custom brackets for cabin top clutches) and rebuilding the starter. All the wiring - every 12 volt wire including the entire engine harness was replaced by me after purchasing the proper crimpers needed to do it right. All woodwork and glasswork including 2 half bulkheads in the galley, all plumbing and all finish work I do myself. As Maine Sail says, if you do the work yourself the tools are almost free. In the spring I will be replacing seacocks and moving a few through hulls to better locations and redoing the rig and lifelines. I don't anticipate hiring anyone except the travel lift and powerwash. For the rig I'll get swages for the top end done (I don't have that tool ) and using mechanical fittings for the lower end. The more labor cost I save then more money is available for better equipment.

The past 12 months have seen a lot of change in Android, Google's phone and tablet OS. But in the tech world change is the norm. If you're not innovating, you're out of this game. However, recent changes in the way Android devices operate have us wondering whether Android has lost its way, or whether it is just clicking into gear.
What has changed? In several respects, the climate on Android has started to transition. Where Android devices were once held up as the pinnacle of liberty and freedom - within the narrow confines of the smartphone kingdom at least - the walls are gradually starting to close in.
The most noticeable gear shift was when Android phones started omitting the microSD card slot. It wasn't down to cost pressures, or the need to keep smartphone bodies thin, but seemingly out of a desire to emulate the approach of the market leader, the iPhone.
This tactic has come to define HTC's top-end Android phones. The HTC One S and One X both left out memory expansion as a feature, instantly turning off thousands of Android enthusiasts.
We could put this down to HTC's own peculiar design approach, but the Google Nexus 7 proved that it is more than this. This first fully Google-branded tablet left out memory expansion, in spite of being made by Asus - probably the most geek-friendly tablet maker there is.
Why, Google, why?
It's an effort towards consolidation, an attempt to encourage Android to become a much more centralised system. Like iOS. In ruling out being able to store masses of media on the Nexus 7, Google is trying to nudge its users into trying out streaming services like Google Movies and Google Music. For now we'll have to forget they haven't launched fully in the UK yet.
Around the launch of the Nexus 7, Google Senior VP Andy Rubin admitted to AllThingsD that the lack of a solid multimedia ecosystem was "the missing piece" of the Android tablet experience. But in trying to make one, is Android at risk of losing what made it special in the first place?
Today saw Android shed another of its original selling points over iOS. Flash is being pulled off the Google Play app store, following Adobe's dropping of support for the Android platform earlier this year.
There are plenty of reasons to defend the decision. HTML5 is on its way to replacing the standard, Flash eats up battery life and many uses for Flash can be covered for with apps. But is Android starting to align itself to all-familiar tracks where it once blazed its own trail?
Sunny side up
There is an opposing point of view - that Android is finally getting its act together. It has until recently been so much slower and buggier than rivals like iOS and - more recently - Windows Phone 7 that even fans have had to apologise for its all-too-obvious lack of polish.
But these are finally being addressed. The latest version of Android, Jelly Bean 4.1, introduces Project Butter, which wants to get the system running at a solid 60FPS. In other words, entirely lag-free. The official Android site emphasises the system's "simplicity and beauty," which have rarely been considered Android staples.
This has been made possible in part because of the low cost of new quad-core processors - even the £159 Nexus 7 uses a high-class Tegra 3 chip that's only slightly less powerful than that of the £600 Transformer Prime Infinity. Whether Project Butter will seem quite as smooth on lesser-powered Jelly Bean devices is yet to be seen. But it seems to be emblematic of a shift in priorities. Smooth-running is the order of the day, not tinker-friendly functionality.
Who knows what they want?
But is this a priority shift we should support? It's not something that's easy to answer until we know what the next iteration of Android, Key Lime Pie, will bring. It's rumoured that the next major version of Android may make very significant changes to its user interface, finally altering how the system is to use.
It's then that we'll probably find out how far Google is willing to take these efforts towards "simplicity and beauty." What if Android becomes a 'flat', single-plane OS like iOS? How much would it take for you to fall out of love with Android, even if it is easier to use?

I'm giving a Greek lady conversation lessons, she's in her late forties and reads English at a good level and her grammar is fine for intermediate level. She owns a hotel and over the summer we based our lessons on the hotel, guests and activities in our area. The last few lessons I have tried to broaden this, as she has said she wishes to increase her vocab and speaking level, but she is unwilling to read or write. I would like suggestions to increase her vocabulary, bearing in mind she is pretty busy and i feel games etc. are unsuitable for her, and i'm sure she just expects me to teach her vocab without any innovative ideas, I tried some hypothetical questions but she couldn't grasp the concept and just wanted to relate everything to her guests and the hotel!
Thanks, Joanne

I had previously published this and with all the new things I have learned, I thought it time to update and change since I am doing things different now. I admit, this seems to be a bit easier.
I have written quite a bit about using agile techniques (unit testing, continuous integration, etc) and in this post, I am going to put it all together. We will go through how to setup the project, build the application test first, how to integrate code coverage and source control flow to build features.
The Application
The application itself is not all that important. I picked something that would be easy to build and demonstrate the concepts. The application is a contact application. I based it around the post of Building a Modern Cocoa App by Martin Pilkington. I think the post does a great job of explaining an approach to building modern Cocoa Applications that I have taken when building apps for the Mac. The contact manager application is a Cocoa Application that uses Core Data as it's backing store with Unit Tests which gives us two projects, ContactManager and ContactManagerTests.
After creating the project in Xcode 4, I needed to make a few changes to the project. The first thing I wanted to do is change to use the LVVM compiler and the lldb debugger. I also set the build to always run the static analyzer. The other thing I wanted to do is get code coverage. I also added some tools to the project. Since I am going to be doing test first, I added the OCMock framework and because I wanted some output for the code coverage, I added the lcov toolset from Linux (geninfo, genhtml).
For OCMock, I added the framework to the ContactManagerTests project. The problem I ran into was that the framework would not load into the test bundle because it could not be found. This is because of the location of the file in the Frameworks directory. I had to change the Runpath Search Path to @loader_path/../Framework.
For the Coverage configuration in the ContactManager project, I did the following:
- set Generate Test Coverage Files to Yes
- set Instrument Program Flow to Yes
All of this setup can be done once and create a custom project if you create a lot of these types of projects.
Test First
Now that we have everything setup and ready to go, we need to figure out how to break this code into it's parts. The application stores contacts in Core Data and uses binding KVO / KVC to build out the UI. The first story I decided to take on saving a contact (since that is one of the major features of the app). I am going to describe this story (and not all of them) and you can look at the rest of the code to see how things
Save a Contact
I decided that I wanted to store first name, last name, email and phone number. Nothing amazing here. I do this with the Core Data modeler and create a Contact object class from the model I created. After this I decide to create a ContactDataController that would manage contact data. I decided to also add a CoreDataController that would manage the Core Data infrastructure (much like that from the Modern App by Martin). One thing I didn't want is a Singleton. Singletons are really hard to test and I avoid them as much as possible. For this I decided to inject the CoreDataController into the ContactDataController and make that the default initializer.
Once I had this infrastructure and tests in place I created the UI and the list and detail view controllers for the UI, I needed to figure out how to add the tests to ensure that things are working properly. Chris Hanson has had a great set of posts on doing just this. The main idea is that you will trust that Cocoa will do the right thing (KVO / KVC) but you want to verify that all the things are setup to make it work. I did just this by creating some simple methods that verify that Cocoa hooked up my Views and Controllers and that I didn't forget anything. If you look at the tests, it is pretty easy to see how this works.
That is the pattern that I followed for all the code in this application. You can review the rest of the code to see how it all fits together.
Code Coverage
After the setup, when you run your tests, you get the code that is covered. The key here is how you want to view it. Once you have your code instrumented, you can use a tool like CoverStory to view it, yet I wanted something more automated. I found a great article that fits in with my workflow. This allows me to use lcov to generate a file that I can see before I integrate into CI (Continuous Integration) server.
Since I do not install the command line tools I did change the envcov.sh file to add the bin file to the path that includes gcov.
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin
You will have to download the lcov tool for the project since the licence is iffy.
Source Control Flow
This one was pretty easy as well. I followed the process from here. They call this git flow and it is pretty well laid out. I used this for all my projects now. The key is that you have to use branches. You do everything off topic branches and master is pretty much your release. I find that doing this helps me focus on working on one thing at a time. If I am writing a large commit message that includes to much work... I feel I am breaking some sort of magical law :).
I use home-brew to install everything. You can install git and gitflow using this.
Wrap Up
The code is the best place to learn. I hope you find a few nuggets in here that you can use on your projects. It has taken me a while to find my groove yet I am really happy with this now. And I am always looking to improve.
If you want to know more about Unit Testing I would go check out Unit Testing with Xcode or Test-Driven iOS Development.

By Chris Harris
Wojciech Szczesny's honesty is misinterpreted as over-confidence, according to Arsène Wenger.
The manager handed the Pole his Premier League debut at Manchester United last December and since then he has established himself as Arsenal's No 1.
Szczesny's reflexes and his command of his penalty area have caught the eye but the way he carries himself has also filled column inches.
The 21-year-old told a press conference on Tuesday that he has always been self-assured but Wenger was quick to point out that Szczesny's approach is a positive.
"It's not confidence, it's honesty," he said. "There is a difference. He questions his performances like everyone else, he just tries to be honest about what it is.
"I like it that when you start at 20 a career you want to be honest. When you are honest you can sometimes look a bit cocky. But he is not, he is just honest.
"Further in their career, the players learn to become more politically correct and they finish at 35, where you can predict exactly the interview you will get. So, he is just honest."
"Wojciech is a quiet boy usually, you know. But he has something that is difficult to explain. Some keepers have that, some do not. That's what you call presence, charisma, confidence. It must be a mixture of all that.
"He is focused every day, you never think he is a comedian when you watch him practice. But you have to be careful as well because people want a quick image of you and it's sometimes a superficial one.
"He is a deep thinker, you do not play at this level and make the decisions he makes if you do not think about the game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

My first self made, one woman zine is in production currently.
Still untitled zine about redefining female sexuality and establishing a sexual identity despite societal regulations and 'values'.
Been in Brisbane for about five months now... I think the Brisbane Zine Scene died year before I got here... I am very sad. I was looking forward to meeting other zinesters.
We invite you to take part in the First International Exhibition "ZINESHOW" in Ukraine. Participation is free. Any technique. Any theme and format. No return. Deadline: 15/04/2013. Exhibition on the blog http://zineshow.blogspot.com All works will be exhibited also in the gallery "tymutopiyapres" http://tymutopiyapres.blogspot.com is not a commercial gallery. Welcomed but not "necessarily" summary of your zine or about you or your creative work (this is necessary for further elucidation of the project and possible documentation). Zines for the exhibition please send air mail: "Zineshow" A/C 9875, Sadivnycha 19/1, 79038, Lviv, Ukraine. mailposht[.]gmail[.]com
Hey there :) I just joined this site today.. I'm in Brisbane too and I know what you mean about the zine scene being a bit... dead. I hope we can change that!! I want to meet other zinesters too. :) I'm a bit of a newbie though. Your current zine project sounds really interesting!! Been making zines long?
Hi Tiny Rockstar! Not sure how often you check your messages, so I thought I'd post on your wall and give you a heads up that a bunch of Brisbane/QLD zine action is waiting for you :)
I submitted a recipe for the 'Grateful Veg' zine. Is it out yet? I'd love to see the other fab recipes that are in it! :)
Hello there! I would love to be your pen pal. I am also vegetarian and into erotic fiction. I am a college student in California. Hope to hear back from you!
<3 Natalie

Tissue that has been damaged by gangrene can't be saved, but steps can be taken to prevent gangrene from progressing. These treatments include:
Surgery. Your doctor removes the dead tissue, which helps stop gangrene from spreading and allows healthy tissue to heal. If possible, your doctor may repair damaged or diseased blood vessels in order to increase blood flow to the affected area.
A skin graft is a type of reconstructive surgery that may be used to repair damage to your skin caused by gangrene. During a skin graft, your doctor removes healthy skin from another part of your body — usually a place hidden by clothing — and carefully spreads it over an affected area.
The healthy skin may be held in place by a dressing or by a couple of small stitches. A skin graft can be done only if an adequate blood supply has been restored to the damaged skin.
In severe cases of gangrene, an affected body part, such as a toe, finger or limb, may need to be surgically removed (amputated). In some cases, you may later be fitted with an artificial limb (prosthesis).
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In addition to antibiotics and surgery, hyperbaric oxygen therapy also may be used to treat gangrene. Under increased pressure and increased oxygen content, your blood is able to carry greater amounts of oxygen. Blood rich in oxygen slows the growth of bacteria that thrive in the absence of oxygen and helps infected wounds heal more easily.
In this type of therapy, you'll be situated in a special chamber, which usually consists of a padded table that slides into a clear plastic tube. The chamber is pressurized with pure oxygen, and the pressure inside the chamber will slowly rise to about two and a half times normal atmospheric pressure.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for gas gangrene generally lasts about 90 minutes. You may need two to three treatments daily.
Other treatments for gangrene may include supportive care, including fluids, nutrients and pain medication to relieve your discomfort.
Generally, people who have dry gangrene have the best chance of a full recovery because dry gangrene doesn't involve a bacterial infection and spreads more slowly than do the other types of gangrene. However, when gangrene caused by an infection is recognized and treated quickly, the odds of recovery are good.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by SaintGeorge67, Aug 1, 2012.
yesssssssssir, London I m coming!!!
Can't wait!! Put a reminder in my phone for the 30th to buy the tickets. Thinking of buying a new jersey just for the occasion instead of wearing my oversize Hamilton (long story, but was really the only one available at NY NBA store when I visited) but stuck on what to get. Definitely want Wallace 36, but read that's against the terms - guess that's so they can slug you an extra $100 for Hardcourt Classics. Then there's maybe Monroe, BK or Drummond but don't want to go to early on them. JJ might be a safe bet - love his work ethic and think he'll be around for a long time because of it.
Nearly solved my own problem when I saw the Rodman Swingman on the NBA store for $89 - smallest size.... L..... Edit: And an Isiah Thomas Hardcourt Classic too big
Well got my trip sorted out. Anyone any idea about seat prices? I don't have to sit courtside but also don't want to sit all the way back. What does an average seat cost?
You can't customize a jersey online overseas?
Unfortunately not Guidelines for CustomizationLeague player names must match current team rosters and the team for which they currently playRetired player names cannot be printed on the team's jersey from which they retired
Money grab.
REMINDER EU FANS: Tickets on sale tomorrow. You can get a reminder sent to you just prior to them going on sale if you want: The O2 - NBA London Live 2013 Otherwise, I will try and remember to come back and post when they do. (I'm a little bit excited)
I think it's awesome how they're marketing this game as: I hope that Europeans don't buy tickets thinking that they're going to see championship level hoops. I could see some pretty intense soccer style hooliganism taking place after people pay their hard-earned euros expecting to see "championship Chauncey" knocking down threes and instead they get Charlie Villanueva bricking line-drive jumpers from the corner. I'm guessing that fan interest in Europe will be marginal for this game given the product on the floor. Del, Rocastle, all you guys; it's time to step-up and get our beloved forum some international airtime. I expect to tune into this one at 4:00am or whenver they're gonna show it to see a bunch of BoT signs with the PF.com logo on 'em! C'mon guys, time for this thing to get some visibility on the world stage!
I'm one day early! My mate just pointed out that on the O2 website that priority tickets are available from 10am GMT time on Wednesday.
Is it me or is every arena in Europe called the O2 arena?
I don't know of any arenas that aren't named that.
In Poland, you have the Ergo arena in Gdansk...the Atlas arena in Lodz, and the Towar arena in Warsaw...nice ham sandwich served there...
Hi all - just a heads up, the tickets for the game are now on pre-sale to members of NBA UK's Facebook group, and their Twitter followers. Given that anyone is allowed to join their Facebook group, or follow them on Twitter (@NBAUK) here is the link: Ticket Purchase
I wonder if Rodney Stuckey will collide on the wrong side of the court when playing in London.
Seems to me that the point of something like this would be showcase a higher level of bball than they would otherwise be able to see live. Not sure that it accomplishes that.
Heh, no chance we see a higher standard of basketball anywhere in England than we see on this night! Have you ever seen any "highlights" from the British Basketball League?
I could see Tay dribbling in circles, muttering "Big Ben...Parliament...Big Ben...Parliament...."
I've seen a montage of guys blowing past Ben Gordon on defense. Does that count?
Stuckey will show the British a new meaning for "Bangers and mash".......
Separate names with a comma.

Woman charged with assault with a frying pan
New London – A person was struck over the head with a frying pan Friday afternoon and another person lost a tooth after a large fight broke out in the middle of Bank Street, police said.
Acting Police Chief Peter Reichard said two people were taken to the hospital following the 12:30 p.m. disturbance in the area of 896 Bank St.
Four people were arrested in connection with the afternoon melee.
Two are in custody and one person involved in the dispute was issued a summons at the hospital, although Reichard has not specified who that person is. A juvenile was also issued a summons, Reichard said. Police are applying for an arrest warrant for a fifth person who will be charged with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct, he said.
Adia Burgos, whose address and date of birth were not available, was charged with second-degree assault of a person over age 60. Reichard said Burgos was holding the frying pan.
Liz Marie Soto, 26, of 896 Bank St., Apt. G, was also charged with two counts of disorderly conduct in connection with the incident.
No further information is currently available.
