Four Years Later And CNBC's Still Bashing Obama
Fortune magazine reported [1] that after receiving critical [2] coverage in that publication following his unsupported, conspiratorial claim that the September employment numbers had been rigged by the White House for political gain, former General Electric CEO Jack Welch notified Fortune that he was "terminating" his writing contract with the journal.
"Welch Can't Take The Heat: I Quit," read the Fortune headline.
Note however, that Welch didn't sever his association with CNBC, the partially GE-owned cable channel that Welch used to oversee and where he still regularly appears as a commentator.
Maybe Welch isn't sore at CNBC because the channel played such a central role in promoting Welch's anti-Obama conspiracy last week and giving it legitimacy with constant coverage. "The tweet heard around the world," was how one CNBC anchor described Welch's Twitter-based conspiracy salvo last week.
Indeed, while interviewing Labor Secretary Hilda Solis about the dip in the unemployment rate to 7.8 percent, host Carl Quintanilla's first question [3] to the cabinet member on Friday was about Welch's half-baked claim that the Bureau of Labor Statistics had "fixed" the numbers. Time and again [4] Quintanilla returned to the conspiracy theory, insisting "a lot of people do not believe the 7.8 number." (Later that day Quintanilla referred to Welch as his "former boss" and "a man we all like.")
I'm not suggesting it's been all bad at CNBC since Friday. Several commentators there have poked on-air holes in Welch's unserious job speculation. (See here [5].) The problem is CNBC kept circling back to the scheme as a topic worthy of serious debate. It wasn't and that should have been self-evident [6] to anyone in the business of journalism.
Yet on Tuesday, CNBC hosted [7] a call-in from Donald Trump who cheered Welch's theory, calling it "100 percent correct [8]." Worse, days after so many experts [9] had dismissed the Welch claim as nonsense, CNBC host Becky Quick told Trump that she agreed with him that the 7.8 figure wasn't "real." He quickly concurred: "Nobody buys it."
What a mess. (And also very Fox-inspired [7].)
It's fitting though, that just weeks before Election Day CNBC is wallowing in an irresponsible anti-Obama conspiracy theory, considering that just weeks into Obama's presidency the all-business channel engaged in wildly irresponsible Obama bashing, bordering on demagoguery.
Remember that it was CNBC host Jim Cramer who appeared on NBC's Today in 2009 and attacked [10] Obama's "radical agenda" and claimed it was "the most, greatest wealth destruction I've seen by a president." He claimed [11] that under Obama, "no stocks can be considered truly free from danger" and instructed viewers [12] to "Obama-proof that portfolio -- like bomb-proof." Cramer also referred [11] to Obama as a "Bolshevik" and said he was "taking cues from Lenin." (Since 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen [13] nearly 5,000 points under Obama.)
And it wasn't just [14] Cramer who was bashing [15] Obama:
CNBC news anchor Melissa Francis announced she'd never vote for Obama's stimulus package. Host Joe Kernen mocked Obama as having been "hijacked by those -- the crazy -- by [Nancy] Pelosi, by [Harry] Reid" and described Obama's budget as "far left." During the same segment, reporter Carl Quintanilla said of Obama's budget, "There is some social engineering going on."
Not to mention the fact CNBC helped [16] give birth [17] to the stridently anti-Obama Tea Party movement.
Based on its decision to hype the hollow Welch conspiracy, it appears CNBC is going wire-to-wire during Obama's first term with regards to giving a national platform to business commentators desperate to air dark Obama fantasies and conspiracies.

Now they rich, try convince everybody to trick off
But a true boss done paid the cost, she giving away them drawers
Word to the brown James, he some chicken chow mein
Really mane, you done say some silly things
And the fella Dana Dane, boy you cuffed, claimed a dame
Hey my main thang got my last name, know what I mean?

Hold up, hold up, guess who just showed up?
Rolled up, rolls cut, drop with the doors up
I'm on my grind shawty, don't block my shine shawty
Wait a minute, wait a minute, chill a little, sit a minute
I can't close my safe no more cause I got too much money in it

The piggy bank got legs and feet and can get up and walk away, shawty
With my southern drawl, awkwardly I spray
Like the backside of a skunk and the stash house with the pump
Pistol grip in my lap at all times in the 'lac
From Atlanta to Savannah, can't a nigga stop that
Not when God's got his hands on me only the strong survive
And the weak-minded are falling by the wayside, they try
But which I overcome and succeed, indeed
But with success comes a great responsibility
We chose to lead not follow, it's a hard pill to swallow
Better get prescriptions filled cause there might not be tomorrow
A fun, playful song by two debonair Southern gentlemen.

Bhide surprised to see Jethalal in Cricketer's uniform. Jethalal rushes to Gada house. Will Sheru attack Jethalal? -- Watch this hilarious episode of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.
The show is inspired from the famous humorous column 'Duniya Ne Undha Chasma' written by the eminent Gujarati writer Mr. Tarak Mehta. This story evolves around happenings in "Gokuldham Co-operative Society" and covers topical issues which are socially relevant.The show predominantly - Promoolves around 'Jethalaal' (Dilip Joshi) who is an uneducated Gujarati businessman. Your 'Taarak Mehta' (Sailesh Lodha), is his neighbour. 'Jethalaal' finds a friend and philosopher in 'Taarak Mehta' and often goes to him for advice whenever he is in trouble. Jethalaal's family includes his simpleton wife 'Daya Ben' (Disha Wakani) and a mischievous son 'Tapu' (Bhavya Gandhi). Tapu is a menace and a constant source of trouble to all the members of Gokuldham. They have often warned 'Jethalaal' to reform 'Tapu' or else be prepared to leave the premises. Lost hopes of being heard by his son pushes Jethalaal' to call his father 'Champaklal' (Amit Bhatt) from the village. This was his great idea of leashing some control over the mischievous Tapu. The opposite happens and the grandfather joins hands with the grandson to make life a roller coaster troublesome ride for Jethalaal.

Roasted Branzino with Caper Butter
"It's almost impossible to end up with dry, overcooked fish when cooking it whole," says chef Steve Corry. "The bones protect against extreme heat, plus they add flavor and moisture." Here, Corry pan-roasts whole branzino, Mediterranean sea bass, that's stuffed simply with lemon and rosemary. He makes the easy compound butter, which melts on the fish to become a sauce, with wild Tunisian mountain capers, although any caper will work.


text: Jennifer's acceptance speeches (Golden Globes and SAG) have been wonderful. She looked genuinely surprised, and humble, yet not overly emotional (crying) in her acceptance speech. She is a very likable young lady, and very talented. I just don't feel that her role or acting in SLP is on par with that of her competitors at this time. They will be 'wuzrobbed' if she wins the best lead actress Oscar. I may be the only one that does not understand why Anne Hathaway is a lock for the supporting actress Oscar (and why she has won every award for SA so far). I don't have a problem with her personality or even her acceptance speech (I only watched the one at GG; I missed that part of SAG). I feel that her role is too short compared to her competitors. Helen Hunt, for example, appears in the entire movie and has a very strong contribution to the story. Anne's role is only a small part of the story we see in Les Mis. I had the same complaint about Judi Dench winning for Shakespeare in love, but in her case it was obvious that it was done to make up for the injustice (not winning for Mrs. Brown) the previous year.

2011 K2 Anagram or 2011 Ride Kink
Hey Guys,
I really need some help on deciding which board I should get as soon as possible?
I've been riding for 6 seasons now and consider myself good at boarding the mountain.
I've recently started playing around in the park more and prefer that to anything else.
But I don't really care too much for using boxes or rails. Just jumps/kickers.
I'm pretty decent at doing straight jumps/grabs but want to learn how to start doing 180's and 360's with those jumps. (Still need to learn to ride switch too)
So what I want to know is which one of these boards (2011 K2 Anagram or 2011 Ride Kink) I should get? And which one is better for doing these jumps?
At first I wanted the Kink ($415) but there is a deal right now for the Anagram ($255 [it's 20% off at the store I have here]) and that price point is swaying me to purchase it.
But I read it is a "beginner" board and I can say that I am far from that. Or does that even matter?
So is it worth it for me to get the Anagram & will it help me progress my park skills as well as ride the bigger mountains?
Or should I go with the Kink?
Anyone with info on this please let me know/help me ASAP.
EDIT: I'm 5'11 160lbs. if that helps at all.
First off I want to start by saying that I have not ridden either snowboard so I do not know how they will feel on snow.
However I can tell you that the Kink is a directional twin shape which may make riding switch a little less easy than with the Anagram which is a true twin. The kink is also softer, which will make landing bigger jumps a little squirrely. The kink is really intended to be a jib board.
The Anagram is a beginner board and it does not have the best speed. You won't be able to floor it and so if you like to race down the hill it is not the right board. Other than that I personally do not think the fact that it is a beginner board will effect you much if you just want to have fun and your riding style is more chill. The Anagram will be better on bigger jumps as it is a little stiffer.
Out of these two boards I personally would go with the Anagram for sure. I think it is better suited to what you said you wanted and it definitely would not be worth it for you to pay the extra money for the kink.
That being said you also might want to look into the k2 Raygun if it is at a similar price as the Anagram because I think it will ride similar to the Anagram but be better at higher speeds.
Again I have not actually ridden any of the boards, what I say is just based off of the specs.
Okay, I'm just going to go out on a limb here and guess that you are thinking of purchasing at sportchek?
The Raygun at sportchek is 303.99. If it were me I would definitely pay the extra 50 dollars or so to step up from the Anagram to the Raygun. I just think the Raygun will ride better all mountain.
The Raygun does have a 3/4 inch stance setback but that shouldn't hinder learning to ride switch much and it will make it better for riding all mountain (I also think it makes it a little easier to land jumps).
I've actually been looking into the Raygun for a while. I bought a Scaremaster a couple months ago for 239.99 in the states but with shipping and everything it ended up being about 300 Canadian. If I had known I would be able to get the Raygun for about the same I think I would have gone for the Raygun since I would have liked a board with a bit more all mountain capability. But whatever, both boards are probably a lot of fun!
Having ridden both of these boards, I would say that the Anagram is stiffer (less tech core) and has slight (they call it "catch free") rocker. Both are twin, both are centered, neither is directional anything. The Kink is more jib/butter friendly than the Agram due to the Slimewalls and Prorise Rocker.
The price on the Agram is good (if it is in fact a 2011), so that is really hard to pass up, but if you wind up buying a new board next season because it didn't do what you wanted it to, you will be out more than $400...I guess if you are trying to decide between a Kink and Agram, then you may not have been a Kink customer from the start.
This is what the good ride had to say about the kink:
Intermediate to Expert Freestyle Jib
Flat Camber Twin Like Directional Shape
The Kink has a solid build that is made to deal with the jib park and not much outside of it. The Kink is pretty soft and playful. This is called low pro rocker but it's more flat camber than rocker. What ever that means it really means that the Kink is pretty stable between Jibs and is fun to play with.
So for some reason their borders that tested it thought it was twin-like directional but yeah, on the sportchek description it says it is a centered true twin.
Even so its still meant as a jib board and the Raygun will be better all mountain/on bigger jumps. And is over 100 dollars cheaper.
Thanks for your help. I think I've definitely been swayed into getting the K2 instead of the Ride now.
But now I don't know if I want the Anagram or the Raygun lol.
Here's some more info on my riding:
The hills I go on around where I'm at aren't big at all so I'm mostly in the Park anyway. I only go to big mountains about once a year for a couple days and then when I'm riding those is the only time I'm usually on the mountain instead of the park. I also really wanna learn switch this year as noted before.
Personally, I don't really like the Rayguns graphics that much and the fact that it is not totally centered kinda deters me as well.
If I don't really plan on going "warp speed" down a mountain; quick but not blisteringly fast, would you say that the Anagram would still be good?
That would definitely help my decision?
I would take Ride's info over another individual's review. I have their catalog in hand. The Kink's nose and tail width is identical in each size. The side cut radius is symmetrical in each size. The stance is centered in each size. And Prorise is flat all the way past the insert and rockered (the same amount) on the nose and tail. Unfortunately I could not find those specs for you on Ride's website. I will email their Sales Manager to see if they can't get those there for people to read.
I read the review that you copied from; I think that they are just trying to describe the board not using the companies term for their rocker shape. The problem is that "flat camber" doesn't exist. Flat is flat and Camber is camber. You can combine the two shape (three if you want include rocker) but they cannot exist in the same spot on a board. Once you combine and two of the three existing shapes, you get "hybrid" rocker.
If you can get a Raygun for $250, buy it. A Kink should be $350 and if there is a Raygun out there for "over $100 cheaper" it is a steal. And the Raygun rips for a $350 board!
Here is what the good ride said about the Anagram:
Beginner to Intermediate Freestyle to All Mountain
Continuous Rocker Twin Shape
The K2 Anagram is a good beginner Twin shaped snowboard despite the fact it has an extruded base. An extruded base is less expensive and more sturdy but a bit slower than the very common sintered base you see on most snowboards. Another issue with extruded bases is they are a bit more difficult to repair. For 2011 the Anagram now has a very smooth rocker that makes for a catch free ride. It doesn't have the pop or carving ability that the 2010 had but it performs better in powder and is a little more jib friendly. The Anagram has built in more tech than your average snowboard for this price. So you lose a little speed, which is ok if you are a beginner/intermediate rider, but you get a board that has a good all around performance. This is perfect for those that want to learn a bit of everything in the park and mountain.
Here is what the good ride said about the Raygun:
Intermediate to Expert All Mountain Freestyle
Continuous All Mountain Rocker Twin
The K2 Raygun is a good all mountain to freestyle rocker snowboard. It has stability when flat basing and hitting more than a crusing speed. It's not the best when it comes to carving but the Raygun will be great for jibbing all over the mountain. For the price its hard to get a good all mountian freestyle snowboard at this level.
The k2 Raygun also won a good wood award this year from Transworld Snowboarding and this is what they said:
A brand-new board in the K2 line, the Raygun performs as well in the park as it does in the sidecountry. Generous rocker in the tips yields maximum float in pow and easy presses in the park, while its setback stance keeps you firmly in the drivers seat. With carbon fibers woven throughout the topsheet, this gun is steady and easy to aim.
Really good carving board. It has a great shape and flex for ripping turns and jumps.
Honestly, its hard to say without having ridden the boards which you will like better but the testers seemed to really like the Raygun both at the good ride and at Transworld. The Raygun will most likely be better when you hit the big mountain and will probably be more stable at high speeds or when flat basing.
As far as the park at your local resort I personally think the Anagram would be totally fine and the centered stance should make it a little easier to ride switch (although none of the testers had any problems riding switch on the raygun-but they are advanced to expert park riders). If you are first learning to ride switch the anagram probably would be better. Also learning to ride switch is kind of like learning to ride again for some (it was for me) and having a board intended for beginners with a catch-free rocker will most likely make it easier.
The Raygun at our local store is 303.99 Canadian! Which is sweet! The kink is 415 Canadian. I have no idea why the Raygun is at such a good price. Boards in Canada are almost never cheaper than in the US. Capita Stairmasters for example cost 400 dollars here.
Lupin, thanks for showing me that site though, I had never been on there before. Do you know where these guys are out of?

text: Just a small update. Still working on weathering and final details. Have a slightly modified vest, made using darth mule's tutorial. I modified some cheap canvas gloves and attached the patches using WOF's templates. The spats are also made from WOF's templates. The neck seal I made using ladysewforus' tutorial. Everything is coming together nicely :D. I am on the home stretch.

Reforming patents, promoting innovation
September 4th, 2007 | Published in Google Public Policy
Many of our nation's founding fathers (most notably Ben Franklin) were inventors, and from America's earliest days we've been a country that has promoted innovation. To protect and promote invention, those same founding fathers gave Congress the power (in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution) "to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." Inventors have relied on the patent system to protect those rights (check out Google Patent Search to see for yourself).
Unfortunately, the patent system has not kept pace with the changes in the innovation economy. Google and other technology companies increasingly face mounting legal costs to defend against frivolous patent claims from parties gaming the system to forestall competition or reap windfall profits. The National Academy of Sciences has said the current patent system shows "areas of strain, inefficiency, excessive cost on one hand and inadequate resources on the other hand that need to be addressed now." And the Supreme Court's consideration of several patent cases in the past two terms is evidence of growing consensus that patent law needs to be rebalanced in order to protect patent owners while ensuring that patent rights are not abused.
A growing chorus of business leaders and companies spanning the technology, financial services, and traditional manufacturing industries has joined with legal scholars, economists, consumer and public interest organizations, government institutions and major editorial boards in calling for patent reform.
Bipartisan patent reform legislation is likely to be considered by the full House of Representatives later this week, and is moving through the Senate as well. As a member of the Coalition for Patent Fairness, we support this legislation and have urged Congress to address these issues in particular:
- Damages apportionment. Damages should be calculated based on the fair share of the patent's contribution to the value of a product, and not on the value of a whole product that has many components. So for example, a windshield wiper found to an infringe a patent should not spur a damage award based on the value of the entire car.
- Restricting forum-shopping. Certain district courts have become notorious for rarely invalidating a patent, and have tilted the balance too often in favor of plaintiffs. We support judicial venue provisions to ensure that patent lawsuits are brought only in district courts with a reasonable connection to the case.
- Post-grant review. The patent system should include a meaningful second chance for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to review potentially problematic patents in a timely way, thereby promoting high-quality patents.
- Willfullness. Patent infringers can be forced to pay triple the damages in cases where they are found to have "willfully" infringed a patent, but that standard has been devalued. Punitive triple damages should be reserved for cases of truly egregious conduct.
Some have argued recently that reforms to the patent system would somehow make the U.S. less competitive in the world. That couldn't be further from the truth. Low-quality patents and escalating legal costs are currently hurting the ability of U.S. companies to compete globally, and that in turn hurts U.S. workers and consumers. Without a modernized patent system, U.S. companies are at a competitive disadvantage, spending resources on unnecessary litigation and unwarranted licensing instead of on innovation.
We'll be talking to House members and their staff this week to tell them just how important this is.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I went ahead and just bought a GFG-670 Plus. I know its not a HVLP but everyone says it is a good gun and I got it new in box with a cleaning kit for $250. Not that it matters now but air is not an issue trust me. I have two tanks one is 100 gallons and the other 75 gallons for a total of 175 with 125psi. I dont remember the HP but I know it is at least 4HP. If my math is right if I am to paint a car it might cycle one time. Thanks for the concern & help though.
What size compressor are you running?
What CFM is it putting out?
New To Painting
I could use some help to pick out a paint gun. Its been driving me nuts trying to figure it out myself. I am dead set on a HVLP and pretty sure I want a devilbiss. I don't want to spend more than $300 on one. It does not need to look perfect but I don't want any runs or orange peel. I also don't want a gun with plastic parts. Must be gravity feed and can spray unside-down. I will for the most part only be spraying base/clear old coke/pepsi drink machines. I may one day spray a car but just one or two. I have been looking at the Blue Finishline 3, FLG 691, and the DeVILBISS GTI-620G Millennium. I do have a question about the GTI-620G. The lid says it is push on and I read somewhere that they were disposable. Is this true? I don't really want one that I will need to keep buying lids for. Any help will be appreciated.

UTMB has several loan funds for students who need financial assistance: federal, state, institutional, and alternative. The purpose of all loan programs is to assist students unable to obtain sufficient support from other sources. In order to qualify for support from any federal loan program, the student must complete the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA.
Federal Direct Loans
Federal Direct Student Loan
The Federal Direct Loan Program provides a new and simpler way to obtain and repay student loans. There is a single lender—the U.S. Department of Education. Students should refer to http://www.direct.ed.gov/ for specific information regarding Direct Loans.
Parent Loan
If a parent of a dependent student is denied a FDPLUS loan as a result of poor credit, we will replace that PLUS loan with a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford/Ford Loan (FDUSL) in accordance with the program maximum limits and guidelines.
Graduate Plus Loan
The Graduate PLUS loan program is part of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFEL) and allows you to borrow up to the difference between your educational costs and your financial aid award package. The graduate student must apply for the maximum annual amount through the Federal Stafford Loan Program and must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen and creditworthy.
Contact Information for Direct Loans
- Federal Direct Consolidation Loan (if applicable) at www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov . Print your loan information. (1-888-877-7658) you may also access applicable forms related to your DL by clicking on the "Forms & Publications" link.
- National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) www.nslds.ed.gov/nslds_SA/ . Click on "Financial Aid Review" to print your loan information. (1-800-730-8913)
Uncertain of which Loan Servicer to Contact?
Students and parents can look up their complete loan history including the servicers for each loan at http://www.nslds.ed.gov/ . Access to this site requires the user to have their Department of Education PIN.
Direct Loan Servicing Center (ACS)
800-848-0979 http://www.dl.ed.gov/
Students and parents who first borrowed Federal Direct Loans after July 1, 2010 will have their Federal Direct Loans serviced by one of the four servicing contractors listed below:
FedLoan Servicing (PHEAA)

Sallie Mae
800-722-1300 http://www.salliemae.com/
Other Federal Loans Programs (ACS Loan Servicer)
Perkins Loan Program
Students who apply for the Federal Perkins Loan Program must be United States citizens, or permanent residents of this country, and must be enrolled at least half time. Applicants must complete the UTMB Application for Financial Aid and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Undergraduates may borrow up to $3,000 during their freshman and sophomore years, and $4,000 per year during their junior and senior years. The total of an undergraduate's loan may not exceed $15,000. Graduate students are eligible to borrow on the FPLP program also, but the combination of their undergraduate and graduate loans may not exceed $30,000. Because limited funds are available, we institutionally reserve these funds for students with need in the School of Health Professions and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in order to provide the same level of funding to all students.
Loans for Disadvantaged Students
The Loans for Disadvantaged Students program provides loans to full-time, financially needy students from disadvantaged backgrounds pursuing a degree in allopathic medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatric medicine, pharmacy or veterinary medicine. Recipients are selected by making reasonable determinations of need and providing loans which do not exceed the cost of attendance (tuition, reasonable educational expenses and reasonable living expenses.
Nursing Student Loan Program
The Nursing Student Loan program provides loans to full-time and half-time financially needy students pursuing a course of study leading to a diploma, associate, baccalaureate or graduate degree in nursing.
Primary Care Loan
The Primary Care Loan program provides loans to 4th year medical students who match in a primary care residency program and are financially needy. The amount of Primary Care funds that can be approved for a student is governed by need analysis and amount of funds available. Students accepting awards from this program will be required to sign a promissory note agreeing to enter and complete a residency training program in primary care and practice primary care through repayment of the loan. The loans to fourth year students are given to repay outstanding balances on unsubsidized loans taken out while attending UTMB. Medical students receiving a Primary Care Loan must agree to enter and complete residency training in primary care within four years after graduation and practice in primary care for the life of the loan.
Institutional Loans
These loan programs are to assist students unable to obtain sufficient support from other sources. The loan funds described in this section of the booklet are available to students who meet the eligibility requirements specified for each fund and who maintain satisfactory progress in their educational programs. Loan funds are intended to provide financial aid to meet established financial need and require that repayment begin after the student has finished the educational program.

I do not know of anyone out that way but if you want bees this year you need to get them ordered very soon. Most places run out very quickly. If you wait to long you could be disappointed. Check with local clubs someone may be able to help you get started with a split or help you "catch" a swarm or something if you are not able to get a package or nuc this year.
check out kutik's honey farm. I think that they will be close enough. They have a website and sell nucs.justgojumpit
Hi Aengus, I live close to you. I had sent you a message maybe u didn't get it. Anyway there are a couple of options I can tell u about. or maybe we can work something out about Bjorn's nucs. :)

- X1 Cross-Compiler, Skagway
- MATLAB Training at ARSC Back by Popular Demand
- Symposium on Distributed Computing with MATLAB
- Quick Tip
X1 Cross-Compiler, Skagway
When the Klondike gold rush began in the summer of 1897, the city of Skagway, Alaska served as the starting point for many of the stampeders as they made their way to the Yukon. In the spirit of the Klondike gold rush, ARSC is pleased to announce installation of the new cross compiler system called "skagway."
Skagway has the following attributes:
Operating System: Fedora Core 4 Linux Compilers: Cray Programming Environment and Libraries Processors: 4- 2.50 GHz Opteron 852
The Cray Programming Tools allow skagway to produce executables for use on the X1. As with klondike, the Cray Programming Environment is loaded via the module command. Compilation times will be reduced for those who compile on skagway rather than on klondike.
Home directories on the cross compiler system are available on klondike to allow binaries and source code to be moved between klondike and skagway. The environment variable $XCHOME is defined on both skagway and klondike, and is set to your cross compiler home directory.
A very limited number of "pioneer users" will start using skagway in the next week (let us email@example.com you're interested in testing skagway, but note, we may not be able to provide this access). After a short test period, we'll open it up for general usage.

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I've noticed that a lot of people, maybe 2-5%, put blankets on the [[ hoods of their cars when it's really cold. Does this actually do [[ any good? Why or why not? # Thanks to all who responded. We're going to whittle it # down to actual 1st or 2nd hand experience: Brad Havel reports: "A long-standing resident of Alaska down in DC&C used a blanket to help retain heat and 60W light bulb under the engine when they had a complete freeze up or if they needed to thaw out their backup vehicle if their primary went dead. Supposedly it helps reduce the wear on the engine the warmer it is when you start it." According to Liam Forbes: "The only time that I've seen a blanket be effective is when there is a heating element on the engine somewhere, but not a complete winterization package. The blanket can provide a little extra insulation to keep the heat within the engine compartment. It is a short term assist though unless you are using an electric blanket and putting it under the hood on high." From John Bailey: "You can argue the thermodynamics of it, but the concept of a blanket over the hood of you car is to try and hang on to the engine heat from operation as long as possible. If a blanket is airtight - or at least with heavy weave or designed to retain heat (sleeping bags) - the idea is that you can maintain a pocket of warm air over the engine block until you restart the car later in the day." "Commonly you'll find this is practiced with older cars that don't appreciate the cold or aren't even winterized. Or in tandem with plug-ins to try and insulate against loss of that heat. To be honest I don't know if really does help. " "I don't do it myself, but then I have a new car with engine block heater etc. However, I do cover my windscreen and side mirrors, because I have a big, wide car and got tired of stretching to sweep snow and ice off. The later is particularly a problem when things are still "cold" but not "really cold" and the air has some capacity to hold moisture. So I didn't bother during the -55 deg temps last week, but I have started doing it again now. " Tom Baring's wife has some actual data. On a -30 day last week, she observed that the external air temperature reported by the car thermometer was -18 when she first started the car. It'd spent the night outside, with a sleeping bag on the hood and it had been plugged in for about 4 hours. After uncovering the car, unplugging it, and driving a short distance, she checked again, and the temperatue reading was down to -22 (which is where the thermometer pegs). Ed Kornkven threw a blanket over his '88 Suburban last week to retain the heat of a charcoal fire he'd started under it, at 30 below. It eventually started. And from Joe Metzger: This sounds like a good question for the "Mythbusters", although I doubt if those California boys would want to make a road-trip to Alaska. Q: I want stdout and stderr from a command to go to a file AND to my screen. These commands, CSH: ./prog >& prog.out KSH: ./prog > prog.out 2>&1 would merge stdout and stderr to one file. But, as I said, I'll like to see it on the screen at the same time.

Interim Director of Athletics Blake James informed the team of the decision this morning, two days after the Hurricanes became bowl eligible with their sixth victory of the season.
The unprecedented decision to voluntarily withhold the football team from a second consecutive postseason was made by University leadership, including President Shalala, the Office of the General Counsel and Department of Athletics leaders. Considerable deliberation and discussion based on the status of the NCAA inquiry went into the decision-making process and, while acknowledging the impact that the decision will have on current student-athletes, coaches, alumni and fans, a determination was made that voluntarily withholding the football team from a second postseason was not only a prudent step for the University to take but will also allow for the football program and University to move forward in the most expedited manner possible.
The University and President Shalala have been clear from the start of the inquiry that Miami will cooperate fully and will seek the truth, no matter where the path might lead and that the institution will be stronger because of it. The University has already taken proactive measures to ensure more strict compliance with NCAA rules and continues to evaluate further steps.
No other self-imposed penalties have been issued at this time and to continue to protect the integrity of the inquiry, the University will have no further comment.

The UK's leading manufacturer of high purity single-wall carbon nanotubes, Thomas Swan & Co. Ltd, has announced a 4 year, £625K collaboration with the Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (CRANN) at Trinity College Dublin to develop a scalable manufacturing process for high purity graphene.
The 4 year collaboration with CRANN, the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) funded nanoscience institute based at Trinity College Dublin, will focus on the industrial scale-up of consistent, high purity graphene production.
Graphene is the wonder material of modern science and was the focus of the Nobel Prize in 2010. It has unique properties and is both the strongest and most conductive material known to man. There are many potential applications for graphene including next generation electronic devices, mechanically strengthened plastics and new thermoelectric materials.
CRANN's research in the field of graphene production is led by Professor Jonathan Coleman, who was named as SFI Researcher of the Year in 2011 and is also recognised as one of the top 100 material scientists of the last decade. There is currently no method to produce high quality pure graphene on an industrial scale and the collaboration between CRANN and Thomas Swan aims to address this problem. CRANN has been identified by Thomas Swan as the leading academic research site globally for solution processing of graphene and the partner of choice around this challenging research area.
Thomas Swan, in addition to funding the research programme, will place an engineer to work with Professor Coleman's team for two years.
Commenting on the partnership, Harry Swan, Managing Director, Thomas Swan, said,
"We are delighted to be working with CRANN and Trinity College Dublin on such an exciting project. Graphene is a fascinating material and our aim, as it was with carbon nanotubes, is to provide a stable and consistent source of true graphene to academia and industry as downstream research develops future commercial applications. CRANN and Professor Coleman's team at Trinity College Dublin were a clear choice as the centre of excellence for us to approach and I look forward to developing a scalable production route of true, high purity graphene. We are anticipating initial lab samples within the next few months and will invite interested parties to assess our material as soon as it is available."
Dr Diarmuid O'Brien, Executive Director of CRANN, added,
"This collaborative research programme with Thomas Swan underlines the strength of our industry engagement programme, which is bringing significant non-exchequer funding into CRANN and research in Ireland. It clearly demonstrates how CRANN has become a global focus point for both academic and industrial partnership. This international success has been built on the back of continuous funding for research excellence from the Irish State through Science Foundation Ireland."
Professor Coleman added,
"I am delighted with our partnership with Thomas Swan as it will lead to the commercialisation of my research and is a very fulfilling achievement after many years of work. This will ultimately result in the production of graphene on an industrial scale, which we believe can compete with silicon for use in electronics and can contribute to an explosion in the development of a range of new materials."
Graphene consists of a sheet of carbon atoms, just one atom thick or about one hundred-thousandth the width of one human hair. It is very strong and has excellent electrical conductivity which makes it a potential candidate for incorporation into a range of materials including thermoelectric devices, sensors and as a substitute for plastic in a range of products, from household goods to aeroplanes.
Founded in the United Kingdom in 1926, Thomas Swan & Co. Ltd. is a leading independent manufacturer of performance and speciality chemicals. The company manufactures over 100 products, from kilogramme to multi-tonne quantities, and offers an experienced and flexible custom manufacturing service. With offices in the USA and China and a global network of distributors, Thomas Swan exports to over 80 countries worldwide and is well placed to service the UK and international markets.
In April 2004, Thomas Swan launched a carbon nanomaterials business for the production of high-purity single and multi-wall carbon nanotubes. Using a fully scalable CVD process, developed in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, the company can currently manufacture commercial quantities of purified single and multi-wall carbon nanotubes which are sold under the Elicarb® trade mark and used in a wide range of industrial and academic applications including:
– Advanced composites (Thermal, Electrical and Structural)
– Advanced electronics
– Energy Storage
– Print, Paper and Packaging
– Fuel Cells
– Super-Capacitors

Revlon Color Burst Lipgloss Limited Edition Holiday
Decadent is one I must have, and there's several others that look interesting to me. Ulta's zoom feature is also to blame for the fact that I may need some of the nail polishes in this Holiday collection. Right now they're buy one get one half off at Ulta, and I believe Revlon is on sale at Walgreens starting tomorrow, also buy one get one half off. I've found a $1.oo off Revlon coupon in People Magazine's last two issues, and it would be a shame to let those expire now, wouldn't it?
7 comments:
Haha I share your sentiment about how Revlon needs to quit such amazing, tempting products =p I'd love to see a swatch of Decadent, that color looks really awesome!ReplyDelete
Wow look at that purple one! I'm a huge fan of purple lipcolors, so I think I may need to pick that one up!ReplyDelete
Mary, when did you change your picture? Just noticed it. Looking gorgeous as usual. Don't tempt me so! I just bought a set of Tarte cosmetics from QVC the other day. A blush, big lip pencils & brush. I was putting them away & looking through all the stuffed cosmetic bags I have. I don't even want to start to count the amount of lip products I have. Two big bags alone of glosses. One is just the Juicy Tube types. I feel sick when I see it all & also happy! Yet I still want all the new stuff I see.ReplyDelete
Revlon, for the most part, has always managed to put out wonderful things (especially for the lips) in my opinion.ReplyDelete
I agree that Decadent is a must have, but I needn't be tempted right now.
wow, they are really stepping their game. More items for my want listReplyDelete
Decadent = MUST HAVE. That is amazing!!! I hope it's super pigmented. I would love the tube look on my lips! <3ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for this post!! I had all these colors...ALL BUT ONE (glitz & glam) when I raided a "Spice It Up" display. I would not have realized that glitz & glam existed if not for this post.ReplyDelete
I just got back from my Walgreen's and now I have glitz & glam. My set is complete. Mission accomplished, thanks to you. :)
Feel free to comment or just say hello! While I don't always have time to respond to each comment, I do read and appreciate all of them.

Court Says Gay Rights Trump Religious Rights
The New Mexico Court of Appeals upheld a ruling by the state's Civil Rights Commission that a Christian photographer who refused to take pictures of a gay couple's commitment ceremony violated the state's discrimination law.
"Elane Photography may not discriminate in its commercial activities against protected classes as the basis for expressing its religious freedom," Judge Tim Garcia wrote in a 45-page ruling.
The case dates back to 2006 when Vanessa Willock tried to hire Elane Photography for a "same-gender ceremony." New Mexico law does not recognize either marriage or civil unions between persons of the same sex.
Elane Hugenin declined to accept the job and explained to Willock that because of their Christian beliefs the studio only handled "traditional weddings."
In 2008 the New Mexico Human Rights Commission found Elane Photography guilty of "sexual orientation" discrimination. The studio is owned by a young Christian husband and wife who based their refusal on their religious beliefs.
The Court of Appeals determined that a photo studio is considered a public accommodation – much like a restaurant or a store. As such, the photo studio may not refuse services based on sexual orientation or gender identity – even if doing so would violate the religious principles of the owners.
"The owners of Elane Photography must accept the reasonable regulations and restrictions imposed upon the conduct of their commercial enterprise despite their personal religious beliefs that may conflict with these government interests," Garcia wrote..
The Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal advocacy group, represented the photography studio. They plan to appeal the ruling.
"Americans in the marketplace should not be subjected to legal attacks for simply abiding by their beliefs," senior counsel Jordan Lorence said in a statement. "Because the Constitution prohibits the state from forcing unwilling artists to promote a message they disagree with, we will certainly appeal this decision to the New Mexico Supreme Court."
But the court ruled that once a business offers a service publicly, they must do so "without impermissible exception."
Elane Photography posed a hypothetical situation to support its argument – imaging what would happen if an African-American photographer refused to photograph a Ku-Klux-Klan rally because the photographer "wanted to refrain from using her photography to communicate a message that she finds deeply offensive."
However, Judge Garcia said the argument fails as a matter of law.
"The Ku-Klux-Klan is not a protected class," he wrote. "Sexual orientation, however, is protected."
The court ruled that the Christian photography company must pay fines totaling nearly $7,000.

I hate playing MOBAs.
I hate losing a game because of my teammates' fault.
But I love the competition.
It's just....
I want to play a competitive pvp game based only on my skills, not on my ability to cooperate with others.
But I can't find a game like this.

Washington • President Barack Obama's victory means his economic vision is still alive and about to drive the political conversation with his adversaries. The legacy of Obama's first term is safe and enshrined to history.
Obama will push for higher taxes on the wealthy as a way to shrinking a choking debt and to steer money toward the programs he wants. He will try to land a massive financial deficit-cutting deal with Congress in the coming months and then move on to an immigration overhaul, tax reform and other bipartisan dreams.
He will not have to worry that his health care law will be repealed, or that his Wall Street reforms will be gutted, or that his name will be consigned to the list of one-term presidents who got fired before they could finish.
Yet big honeymoons don't come twice and Republicans won't swoon.
And if Obama cannot end gridlock, his second term will be reduced to veto threats, empty promises, end runs around Congress and legacy-sealing forays into foreign lands.
Voters decided to put back in place all the political players who have made Washington dysfunctional to the point of nearly sending the United States of America into default for the first time ever.
The president likely will be dealing again with a Republican-run House, whose leader, Speaker John Boehner, declared on election night that his party is the one with the mandate: no higher taxes.
Obama will still have his firewall in the Senate, with Democrats likely to hang onto their narrow majority. But they don't have enough to keep Republicans from bottling up any major legislation with delaying tactics.
So the burden falls on the president to find compromise, not just demand it from the other side.
For now, he can revel in knowing what he pulled off.
Obama won despite an economy that sucked away much of the nation's spirit. He won with the highest unemployment rate for any incumbent since the Great Depression. He won even though voters said they thought Romney would be the better choice to end stalemate in Washington.
He won even though a huge majority of voters said they were not better off than they were four years ago a huge test of survival for a president.
The suspense was over early because Obama won all over the battleground map, and most crucially in Ohio. That's where he rode his bailout support for the auto industry to a victory that crushed Romney's chances.
The reason is that voters wanted the president they knew. They believed convincingly that Obama, not Romney, understood their woes of college costs and insurance bills and sleepless nights. Exit polls shows that voters thought far more of them viewed Obama as the voice of the poor and the middle class, and Romney the guy tilting toward the rich.
The voice of the voter came through from 42-year-old Bernadette Hatcher in Indianapolis, who voted after finishing an overnight shift at a warehouse.
"It's all about what he's doing," she said. "No one can correct everything in four years. Especially the economy."
Formidable and seasoned by life, Romney had in his pocket corporate success and a Massachusetts governor's term and the lessons of a first failed presidential bid.
But he never broke through as the man who would secure people's security and their dreams. He was close the whole time.
The election was never enthralling, and it was fought for far too long in the shallow moments of negative ads and silly comments.
It seemed like the whole country endured it until the end, when the crowds grew and the candidates reached for their most inspiring words.
"Americans don't settle. We build, we aspire, we listen to that voice inside that says 'We can do better,'" Romney pleaded toward that end.
Americans agreed. They just wanted Obama to take them there.

is rappelz some hard grinding lvl? or is it pretty easy less grinding? ?? please tell me im going to start it soon since i love the graphic.
is rappelz some hard grinding lvl? or is it pretty easy less grinding? ?? please tell me im going to start it soon since i love the graphic.
in the first 20 levels... you should level fast...
(killing a level 2 monster at level 1 will level u up )
Then it starts to go slower... not by much...
If you dungeon party (dp) leveling might take an hour... but it really doesnt seem that long
Each level will seem to take a while but if you do quests like Rohas Request (they give lots of exp, but low jp), you will level purty fast
You can also start dungeon soloing... but it may be faster to level on like sirens
Last edited by eat the yummy cheese; 03-15-2008 at 04:02 AM. Reason: I typed sound instead of seem... lol
lving isnt that bad but its not that easy like any other mmorpg because you have job lvs which can be a ***** at lv 15+ depending on how you do your jlv's.
grinding difficulty: 6/10
The pride of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
u can pull 50 in under a month
The lvling is somewhat easier compared to maplestory.
Rappelz is a pretty good game.
Great graphics for a free game
This game is all about the grind, the first 60 levels the grind is not so bad, but after that it starts to really slow down.
Gettin to know your character and being able to communicate well with your party members is indispensable in gettin in good dungeon parties (which is very much needed if you want to level quickly at all)
They have a fairly decent pet system too.
I got my toon to lvl 73 in just over a month of playing (and that was on average of 4 hours a day of grind grind grind) now I maybe put 4 hours in every 2 weeks.
i got to level 43 in 3 days =\ so far not too bad. i would be 50 now if it wasnt for school.
I was able to get to around lvl 30 in about 3 days so its not too bad i guess
Rappelz: Lydian Server - Artineas
theres like 2 things i dont like about this game, and one is the little stamina system... I really dont understand it much, and it just.... sucks. Really, i would have to sit in a town logged in for like a week for it to get back up to 5000. I thought it went up when you were out of the game, but apparently i was wrong about that. Other thing is the lag, which is a pain when your fighting. Other than that its pretty easy leveling. Found it much better than Flyff.
o.o im gaia wat job should i be mage or summoner
well i didnt level as fast as everyone else seems to have. however i did hit 20 in 2 days. it wasnt bad at all but more important than speed was that it was fun
Death smiles at everyone, the only difference is Marines smile back.
i am Semper's Finest

Water molds are always found in wet environments, especially in fresh water sources and near the upper layers of moist soil.
Officially named Oomycota, they are also known as downy mildews and white rusts.
Water molds were long considered fungi because they produce fungi-like filamentous hyphae and feed on decaying tissue like rotting logs and mulch.
The Oomycota species Phytophthora infestans caused the Great Potato Famine that killed nearly a million people in Ireland in 1846–1847. The water mold virtually wiped out the country's potato crops, which were an essential staple in the Irish diet (sometimes the only food on the table.)
In addition to widespread starvation and malnutrition, the potato blight led more than 1.5 million Irish to flee the country. Because nearly all of the country's potato crops were clones of a few original imports from South America, they had no natural ability to resist the pathogen.
Another water mold nearly wiped out the entire French wine industry. Plasmopara viticol (also known as downy mildew of grapes) was brought to Europe in the late 1870s on vines from America meant to be bred with French vines in hopes of yielding hybrids with a greater ability to ward off attacks by aphids.
The infestation led to the use of the first fungicide, a mixture of copper sulfate and lime, which became known as the Bordeaux mixture for its role in saving the French vines.
Other water mold species can cause disease in fish.

Ready to jive?
What's Evan dancing tonight?
Here we go
Largest premiere audience ever? I'm surprised. Who's considered this year's big draw??
I can't believe Brooke has 4 kids.
Wheee, Evan found a use for his old Grease costume
I see Evan's finding a way to stay in BLACK
Good Lord, I hope Nicolle doesn't put Derek's eye out with those ginormous boobs.
Is it just me, or are the ladies sporting an extra large amount of .. uhm ... boob-age tonight! I'm expecting some wardrobe malfuctions for some of those gals! Maybe I'll hit record on my VCR.
Ack, did nobody vote for Evan last week?
Evan's #: 800 868 3406 per twitter
Why is Mark singing the words?
Mark danced and Shannon didn't.
Shannen kept up her end in a not exciting routine. She's a bit awkward at times, not great speed.
I think Shannen has potential, but Mark is doing her no favors by giving her such hard choreo instead of helping her learn some basics. It makes her look unnecessarily bad.
She's nervous and that was kind of sad. She got ahead, she got behind, at least Mark slowed up (that was ECS tempo, not Jive.)
Just got a look at Evan in his manly black leather.
I suppose it's a possibility.
But, I think maybe Tom was referencing Nicole. She and Derek got the highest scores and all.
So I guess Shannen's dress is what we have to look forward to in ice dance next year
7s very generous, IMO.
Evan's hair is killing me... and not in a good way!
Who dresses Edyna?
So does Aiden WANT to go home?
I know that jerk just didn't make my Edyta cry! U better back off her man or I'll cut u.
OMG, what a baby Aiden is! Edyta's exactly right and could be tougher!
Do you suppose this awkward drama is real or totally staged?
Aiden is coming across like a big baby.
Edyta has a dress on?
That didn't suck.
Aiden cannot dance. He looks like he can, but it's not happening.

It shouldn't be much of a surprise after his second 3-point buzzer-beater of the season.
Utah State junior guard Preston Medlin earned his first WAC player of the week honor this year after leading the Aggies to victory against Texas State, Seattle, and Idaho last week. The obvious highlight was his gutsy long shot from the wing that tied up the Vandals game at 69-all and forced overtime in an eventual Utah State win.
For the week, Medlin averaged 20.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game for a pretty round stat sheet. He shot better from 3-point range (41.7 percent) than from the field (41.5 percent).
Medlin was also cited as an honorable-mention national player of the week by NBC Sports.
After a somewhat sluggish start to the season, the preseason WAC player of the year has been living up to his reputation. He's leading the WAC in scoring during conference play (21.3 ppg) and in 3-pointers made (13). For the year overall, he's averaging 15.8 ppg, 3.8 rpg and 3.2 apg.
Kyisean Reed won the award two weeks ago, the only other Aggie to earn it this year.
Utah State gets vote in latest national poll
The Aggies' 13-game win streak has not gone unnoticed at least by one coach in the USA Today coaches' poll.
Utah State got one vote this week in the poll, joining the likes of Arizona State, Temple and Virginia as single-vote additions. It was the first time the Aggies had gotten any votes since the end of the 2011 season.
It's not the only national respect Utah State has been getting this year. CBS Sports' most recent edition of Bracketology has Utah State as a No. 14 seed and WAC champion.

KSC to show long-lost Mary Pickford film found in NH barn
By PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader | September 21. 2013 11:00PM
"I was up in the attic, and tucked away over in a corner was some film, film canisters and a silent movie projector," said Massie.
Massie found what film buffs have dubbed Tinseltown treasure - four features long thought to be "lost," including the 1911 Mary Pickford short film "Their First Misunderstanding."
Christel Schmidt, a Pickford scholar and author of the book, "Mary Pickford: Queen of the Movies," said the 1911 film is a significant find.
"Most of Pickford's remarkable career took place during the 1910s and 1920s, a period when women gained power and influence in the public sphere and won social freedoms," said Schmidt. "Offscreen, this star was the era's most famous and arguably influential woman. She was a savvy power player who, by 1918, had accumulated an impressive amount of wealth and had complete creative control over her work. She was a true heroine and a positive role model.
'America's Sweetheart'
So big, in fact, that the Library of Congress is funding the restoration. The library boasts the world's largest collection of movies by Pickford, known affectionately as "America's Sweetheart."
The estimated cost of the restoration work is $9,000.
Larry Benaquist, who started the film program at Keene State, which has an archive of about 1,000 films, was contacted in 2006 by Peter Massie about what he found in the barn.
"The couple has their differences and have some time apart, but then come back together and their relationship is stronger than ever," said Benaquist. "It's told with a very distinct feminine point of view, which was rare in film at the time."
Benaquist said any time a film like the Pickford short is found, it's an important event.
It's even more special when they feature an actor like Pickford, who Schmidt called one of Hollywood's first "superstars."
Schmidt will be at Keene State on Oct. 11 to host what Benaquist calls the world "re-premiere" of the film. The event will take place at 7 p.m. in the Alumni Recital Hall in the Redfern Arts Center. Schmidt will also bring "Sparrows," a 1926 United Artists film that was Pickford's next to last silent film. Schmidt said the film is considered by many to be her best.
The event is sponsored by the School of Arts and Humanities, Film Studies, the Redfern Arts Center, Women's and Gender Studies, and the KSC Film Society. Tickets are $5, but admission is free for Keene State students with valid ID.
"I can't wait to see what's on there," said Massie.

Love the Blog, Eryka.
]We have been enjoying reading about Eryka and Dan's adventures. Sounds like they are making good time and are having a terrific time meeting fellow sailors, getting to personally scope out the experiences heading south we hear about. I am so jealous....
This week end was a beauty so folks who still have their boats available for use sure must have been out for a sail. I am working on a project here in PA so we were not able to go out. Soon winterization will happen for us too.
If you were out sailing, share your day with the rest of us who missed these lovely days... it was a nice change from the rain that we did not enjoy last weekend in Queenstown. Could not see the full moon, it was wet, it was cold, did I say it was wet(?) and we did not have any trick or treaters come over by dinghy.
sad to see winter coming...

T37Solare - thanx for the thought; it was on our list to explore when we come back in the spring - now southbound we're hurrying one step ahead of Old Man Winter and it feels more like a delivery than a cruise.
Leslie & Clayton - If you guys plan a winter gathering (sounds like fun!) we'll be there in spirit - I'll try to refrain from posting a gloating photo of us in swimsuits under the palm trees and the sparkling blue Caribbean in the background while you guys are shoveling snow ...
It was a real treat to meet all on Friday.
Clayton and I really enjoyed the get together. The evening was perfect and the company was exceptional! Eryka and Dan, we wish you wonderful sailing. But I must say, it is when things are not going as expected that your memories will be sharpest. And don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for those green flares. A green flash is another story and I wish you many of those.
The only other person who told me they had seen a green flare was an ocean tug captain who had seen one while going around the Cape when the space shuttle was preparing to launch. Wouldn't that be an amazing sight from the deck of your boat?
The Nor'easter(s) going up the coast must be making sailing the last few days pretty chilly and wet. I have just returned from Chicago and it was as cold and raining just as hard when I flew into Baltimore. Where did Fall go? We will be thinking about that dreaded winter boat prep soon.
Will there be a plan for a winter get together to share our boating void around February? Maybe we can get Eryka and Dan on the radio or telephone to share in the fun and share their adventures?
with best regards,
Leslie and Clayton

We were down on Friday but attended the Beneteau Owners event at the Marriott. We headed back down on Monday to help break down the Beneteau setup and move boats out and back north to the dealer. They certainly have it down to a science with plenty of hands available to help get you out of tight quarters. The two day ride back north was interesting as well. Day 1 saw us on one tack all the way to the C&D. Winds below 10kts dropping to 2-3 outside of Still Pond. Got to the northside mouth of the Sassafras and WNW winds cranked to 20kts with a peak gust at 32.5! Awesome sailing conditions. We were sailing a B46 and ran high 8s to mid 9kts SOG with a brief touch at 10 all the way to the mouth of the canal. Day 2 was all motoring up the Delaware River, bucking the tide, in 50 degree weather and single digit winds on the nose. Rather chilly in spite of full foul weather gear and numerous layers underneath it all. Still better than yesterday or today.
We were at the show last Friday, but had to get home to deal with the teenage daughter so we weren't able to make the meet-up, hopefully we'll finally make it to the next SN gathering.
Today was a nasty, nasty day to be out on the water... glad you made it to Deltaville in relative comfort. Godspeed on you travels south, looking forward to your reports along the way.
I assume your waiting out the November 1 restriction. If so I highly recommend you backtrack a few to Onacock when this weather pattern breaks (it'll be 70-75 soon...), it's a great destination that we cant wait to get back to.
|Hi all, and thanx for the good wishes. I think we earned membership in the BFS club today - 25 nm to Jackson Creek near Deltaville, VA. 15-20 kts, gusting 25; seas 4 ft, broad reaching. Surfed down one wave and saw 8 (our waterline is 25 ft so our hull speed is like 6.5). Chilly, gray, drizzly, hard to see the marks. But now the hook is set - and Azi & Laura, thanx for sthe thought, our Webasto is toasting us up pretty good, as did the cups of hot cocoa we had immediately after stripping off our foulies. All's well that ends well!
Sorry I wasn't able to make it to the SailNet gathering, but I had a great time at the show working the Pacific Seacraft display, and talking to all kinds of people who love sailboats. Not to mention running around like a kid in a candy store on trade day, checking out all the boats and gear.
Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.
Watching the changeover after the show was fun as well. That's a pretty intense operation!
