Shelterforce Interview: Sen. Robert Menendez
In February, on the heels of $25 billion attorneys general mortgage settlement, Sen. Robert Menendez unleashed the Preserving American Homeownership Act, a bill that would help eligible underwater homeowners by creating a program where banks reduce mortgage principal in exchange for a portion of the increased value of the home over time — shared appreciation mortgage. The bill was timely because it mirrored Ocwen Financial's loan modification program, Shared Appreciation Modification, that creates equity by writing down an underwater borrower's principal balance to 95 percent LTV. In this interview, Shelterforce talks to Menendez, (D-NJ), who serves as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee's subcommittee on Housing, Transportation, and Community Development, about this initiative, the ongoing federal response to the housing crisis, the Sustainable Communities Initiative, the Occupy movement, and more.
By Miriam Axel-Lute, Matthew Brian Hersh, and Harold Simon Posted on July 24, 2012
*Shelterforce*: _You have long been a supporter of the idea that the GSEs should conduct principal reduction for underwater and at-risk homeowners to keep more people in their home and actually reduce the loss to the taxpayer. But as you know, of course, FHFA has been really resistant to that, and that's been coming to the fore lately, and it's gotten sort of political. How do you see a path forward toward moving principal reduction along in the current environment?_
*Sen. Robert Menendez*: I think we need to keep the heat on to make that happen and one of the things that we have to deal with is the regulatory process, how banks get treated if they do the principal reductions that we want them to do, and how the reduction takes place.
I also introduced "a bill in February to make shared appreciation mortgages more globally available":http://www.menendez.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/?id=aa4a5e0b-f80b-4110-8f99-7802c6ded56a. This is where the loan is written down to 95 percent of loan to ratio value and where, in return, the lender, for reducing that amount of the original loan, will get a percentage of any increase in appreciation. So it incentivizes them to write down the loan now when people desperately need it and take the risk. There might be appreciation, there might not be appreciation. But if there is, they're going to get part of it in return for the principal amount that they reduced.
So I think we need to do a series of things, both on the regulatory side, on the incentive side, and to continue to push. We're also waiting to see how the attorney's general settlement with the country's largest mortgage servicers plays out because lot of that money will go to principal reduction. While there are many people who believe that the settlement was insufficient, we look forward to seeing a scenario where that money could be used for loan reduction.
_We recently did_ "_an interview with the CEO of Ocwen_":http://www.nhi.org/go/Faris, _and they're carrying out a shared appreciation mortgage program that's similar to yours_. _Do you see the fact that a private vendor is engaging in this as something that might help make the GSEs more comfortable with it?_
I think so. Ocwen was actually the genesis of some of this idea. Of course, they're doing it in the private sector within a limited universe. I want to dramatically expand that universe.
It seems to me that the GSEs would look at it and be able to say, "Well, we still have an opportunity to recuperate a significant amount of principal" at the end of the day by having a percentage of future appreciation recaptured, and therefore strengthen their portfolio.
My argument to the GSEs and the conservator, who I think has had a very narrow view of conservatorship, is that when a house forecloses, how much don't you lose. And if you're going to take that write-down, then why not take a write-down that, at the end of the day, keeps families in their homes?
_Exactly_. _You mentioned potential regulatory help in terms of the principal write-down_. _Do you have specific ideas in mind of things that would help move that forward?_
Part of the challenge for the banks is that, if they write down significantly large parts of their portfolio in the mortgage market, their rating with the regulators is affected. And so it's almost like "Let me keep the property on the books because for so long as I keep the property on the books, I can have it at the value that I lent at or it was appraised at."
First of all, that's unrealistic because, obviously, values have changed. Second, it's unrealistic for the regulators to insist that they recapitalize to the extent that they go ahead and make principal reductions, when, in fact, we all know that those would be write-downs anyhow. So finding the right balance as to how do we allow the principal reductions to take place, but not penalize the banks for doing so is the access that I'm trying to find, that intersection that accomplishes both of those goals.
It seems to me that it'll have to have some regulatory review that says that a certain percent of overall write-down does not trigger a recapitalization, because otherwise the bank not only wouldn't take its losses, but that it would also have to seek new capital just to be in the present status position they're in. That's not exactly an incentive for them.
_Do you think the special mortgage investigation unit headed up by New York State AG Eric Schneiderman could quell some of the concerns that the AG settlement didn't go far enough?_ _In what way would you like to see it have an impact?_
The president's effort is to ensure that those who violated the existing law get prosecuted and I think this would send a clear message to the marketplace.
_Shouldn't this have happened sooner?_
Should it have been done earlier? Yes. I mean, I certainly would have liked to have seen it done earlier. I think the administration was totally consumed with dealing with the consequences of what happened more so than the causes in the first instance, but I'm glad that the president ultimately got to it.
_Will this tie in in any way with the OCC's foreclosure review program that you've supported recently?_
I really don't know for sure, but I think this unit has a lot more to do with the securitization aspect of what transpired and some of the mortgage products that transpired, but I'm not sure how far it goes beyond that or how it's going to interface.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Most factory coils should have a distinguishing mark on one end to designate from top and bottom. Also they need to set a particular way in their respective perches. Look in a Chilton, Haynes (Haynes can be picked up at your local AutoZone, Advanced, etc) One other thing to look at is the upper control arm. I had a similiar noise coming from my '62 after I had the front end rebuilt. What happened is that the upper control arm bolts were not tightened and had backed off. Every time I turned the corner the upper control arm was moving in and out. When I drove it straight the arm was tight against the bolts so I did not notice it. After laying over the front fender for about an hour wondering what was causing the noise, I saw the shims were all gone. Take your time, don't get frustrated, but go all thru the front end where you replaced parts and make sure everything is tight. Keep your fingers crossed it's not the springs.
Check this out:
See Figures 1, 2 and 3
A coil spring compressor should be used for safety during removal and installation. This tool can usually be rented at tool rental shops.
Raise and support the front of the vehicle using jackstands at the frame so the control arms hang free.
Disconnect the lower shock absorber mounting bolts and push the shock upward into the spring. If necessary for ease of tool installation, remove the upper mounting nut, then remove the shock from the vehicle.
Disconnect the stabilizer bar.
Support the inner end of the control arm using tool No. J-23028 and a floor jack.
Raise the jack enough to take the tension off the lower control arm pivot bolts.
Install a spring compressor tool for safety. If a tool is unavailable, loosely install a chain around the spring and through the lower control arm to keep the spring from suddenly releasing and flying out from the mount under pressure.
Fig. 1: When removing a coil spring using a compressor tool, always make sure the tool lock is in position and secured
Remove the rear pivot bolt first, then the front pivot bolt from the control arm. Note the direction which the bolts are facing for installation purposes.
Cautiously lower the jack until all spring tension is released. If a spring compressor tool is used, the tool will keep the spring under compression.
Note the position in which the spring is installed in relation to the drain holes in the control arm, then remove the spring from the vehicle.
If the spring is to be replaced and it is retained by a spring compressor tool, follow the tool manufacturer's instructions to slowly release the spring tension. With the tension eased, remove the spring from the tool.
To install:
If a spring compression tool is being used, install the new spring to the tool and carefully compress it for installation.
Fig. 2: Spring compressed in a tool and ready for installation
Fig. 3: Coil spring positioning and installation-mid to late 1980's shown
Position the spring to the lower control arm as noted during removal. Make sure that at least part of 1 drain hole is uncovered once the spring is positioned. If no compressor tool is being used, chain the spring to the control arm for safety.
Carefully raise the control arm using the jack and fixture until the spring is compressed (no tool being used) and the control arm us properly positioned.
Install the pivot bolts in the direction noted during removal, but do not fully tighten at this time.
Remove the chain or compressor tool, then lower and remove the jack.
Connect the stabilizer bar. If removed, install the upper shock absorber mounting nut, then secure the bottom of the shock absorber to the control arm.
Remove the jackstands and carefully lower the vehicle.
If there is insufficient clearance in order to access and tighten the lower control arm pivot bolts, raise and support the car on ramps. If ramps are not available, use jackstands under the control arms so the suspension is compressed.
With the vehicle's weight supported by the suspension, tighten the control arm pivot fasteners. Tighten the bolts to 85 ft. lbs. (115 Nm) for vehicles through 1973, to 100 ft. lbs. (136 Nm) for 1974-77 vehicles or to 65 ft. lbs. (88 Nm) for 1978 and later vehicles.
Here is another link you may want to check out Right Here
The only thing I replaced was the bushing in the upper and lower control arms (I had to take to a machine shop to have pressed in) and the ball joints. All the other bushings looked fine, and as far as I know the springs are seated right.
When I am in a parking lot (going slow) and I turn the wheels all the way in one direction, the wheels "wobble". I asked a guy down the street at a tire shop and he said all the old Chevy's did that, that the power steering box is actually over steering. It didn't sound right to me that's why I'm asking here.
|I agree with Pappy Maxx. Did you replace anything else while you had the front end apart? Do you have power or manual steering?
|pappy 32
Not sure as to what you mean by turning the wheel (sitting still or driving). You may want to check and see if you have the springs in their seats on the lower control arm and upper cup. This my give you the "feel" your getting.
I would also recheck the ball joints to make sure their tight. How long has it been since any front end work has been done?
With making the changes you have made, you may want to check out the tie-rod ends, idler arm, etc.
Good luck
front end popping
I have a 78 El Camino that I bought used 2 years ago. The first thing I did was to replace the front end bushings and the ball-joints. I had a hell of a time getting the springs back in between the upper and lower A-frames. When I am in a parking lot and I turn the wheels sharps, the front end pops and the wheels feel like they are lopsided. Did I put something together wrong or is this normal???

Rush Limbaugh: The World Laughs at His 100 Days of Failure
posted at 9:50 pm on April 22, 2009 by Keemo
Did you hear Janet Napolitano the other day? Janet Napolitano said the 9/11 hijackers actually got into our country through Canada. So now the Canadians are up in arms and the National Post in Canada today has a piece asking how in the hell did this woman get her job? Earlier this week she says it's not a crime to illegally enter the country, cross the border, when it is. She's a ditz. She's a total hick, hack, left-wing kook that is now in charge of Homeland Security — and she's there because who chose her? Obama! I mean, you Obama people cannot have it both ways. You cannot say this guy is something brand-new and fresh like we've never had before, and he's so smart, and he's so in control, he's so in touch. And then say he has no clue what's going on in his own administration, or that he's being pressured and he's buckling to pressure. What was funny about the interrogation memo flip-flop was when he talked about allowing Holder… If this happens — we keep talking about overreaching. If this happens, if Eric Holder — and he could very well do this — does instigate investigations or let Conyers do it over in the House or somebody start investigating former Bush administration officials, if they subpoena them, and if these guys have to go out and get lawyers, let me tell you something. If this happens, they don't care whether they get a conviction or not. It won't be about that.
Finals week, Barack Obama approaching a hundred days. Now, they say this has been a historically productive 100 days. I have just put a list here together in no particular order, just off the top of my head, of the things in this administration that have stood out to me since it began. Admiral Blair — this is all over the New York Times today — Admiral Blair admitting the CIA received high value, lifesaving information from terrorists, while President Obama is condemning the same interrogations as immoral and counterproductive. President Obama is throwing and has thrown grand White House parties with Kobe beef, a hundred bucks a pound, while telling the nation to cut back in order to survive the greatest economic downturn supposedly since the Great Depression, bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia, listening patiently and respectfully while a two-bit dictator lectures Obama — it was Daniel Ortega — with false charges for 50 minutes about the criminal country he leads, and Obama doesn't say one word to object, one word in disagreement, does not stand up for his country at one point during the Summit of the Americas.
He has run around the world and apologized for the greatest, the most compassionate, the most innovative and freedom-loving country in world history. Now we've got Fidel Castro setting Obama straight about how Cuba handles political prisoners and its economy. Fidel Castro, one of Obama's idols, calling him superficial. We had the nomination of tax cheats to his cabinet, including the man who oversees the IRS, five tax cheats in the Obama administration. We have Obama's joke of a press spokesman, who makes a complete idiot of himself on a daily basis. He sends back a symbol of freedom, that bust of Sir Winston Churchill to Great Britain just after moving into the White House. He wants nothing to do with it. He did of his own volition. They said you can keep it. He said no, we don't want it here. They said put it in a different room in the White House. We don't want it here, and sent it back to the British embassy. It was given to us, President Bush, after 9/11, by the Brits. He insulted the prime minister of England, the queen of England, with embarrassing, thoughtless gifts. We have the French president Sarkozy ridiculing Obama's messianic complex, inviting him to walk on water at Normandy beach. We have Iran taking a hostage, an American journalist, as Obama promises better relations. We have North Korea humiliating Obama with their missile launch. We have Obama putting the country in debt for generations to come while promising fiscal responsibility, offering up laughable budget cuts, banning lobbyists from his administration, while appointing them left and right. Openly lying that Caterpillar would hire up with the passage of his stimulus bill, then watching while that company lays off thousands after the stimulus bill passes. He pledges to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay where I have a thriving merchandise business. But then he keeps it open with no plan for its future. Proclaiming total transparency, while keeping secret who got the TARP funds, when, where, why. Being incapable of communicating without a teleprompter, while the press declares him a Reaganesque, Great Communicator.
He attacks a private citizen broadcaster from the White House as part of an orchestrated plan to distract the country from legislation and policies we don't want, which thus touched off a political firestorm, all of this while claiming to be a unifier. He makes a ham-handed attempt to nationalize the banks preventing financial institutions from paying back TARP money they don't need or want. We got a column today in the Wall Street Journal by Holman Jenkins that General Motors is a debacle; it is an absolute debacle and mess, and soon Wall Street is going to be the same thing. He has made bad situations worse with car manufacturers, and the worst is yet to come. He has sparked hundreds of protests involving hundreds of thousands of Americans at tea parties regarding irresponsible government spending while his Homeland Security chief labels peacefully demonstrating Americans and veterans as security risks. Now, that's just the things I could think up the top of my head. Oh, yeah, moving the census over to the Commerce department to politicize that. I mean, this administration has been one part joke, one part unbelievable, and many parts scary. Because while all this has gone on, this man is reported upon and reported to be the best president we've ever had, a shining light, a beacon, historical figure.
We have a sycophantic mainstream media in this country. How about the New York Times. The New York Times, $34 million in cash. The New York Times is in debt $1.3 billion. By the way, this is cool, folks. The New York Times' corporate president and CEO, Janet Robinson, received a compensation package valued at $5.58 million last year while the publisher of the New York Times, Arthur Sulzberger Jr. received a total of $2.4 million while this company is losing its shirt. Does that not sound a little bit like Wall Street? Does this not sound like excessive bonuses? Does this sound like CEOs paying them when the performance of their company is in the sewer? And haven't we demonized private sector CEOs for this very thing? Oh, and that is another one: making enemies out of people in the private sector and ginning up protests by his ACORN buddies at the homes of AIG executives, fomenting class hatred and rivalry.

Hudson woman indicted on charges for baby's death
Kristine Davis, of 3 Tiger Road Apt. B, allegedly placed a fentanyl patch on an infant, identified as Izik D-M in the indictment, on July 19, 2011. The indictment does not say if Davis and the infant were related.
The indictment said the baby, born in 2010, died from acute fentanyl intoxication. Davis was charged by the grand jury with manslaughter.
Neither the Hillsborough County Attorney's Office nor Hudson police would release more information about the indictment Friday night.

Laurent Koscielny is ready to push on in his second season at Arsenal after a solid debut campaign with the Club.
The French defender signed from Lorient last summer and shouldered a heavy burden in his first year with Thomas Vermaelen sidelined by a long-term injury. Indeed, only Jack Wilshere started more games than Koscielny.
The centre back believes that the experiences of 2010/11 will serve him well when the new campaign gets underway in August.
"I feel different to last season because I was a new player then," he told Arsenal Player. "It was different but now I know other players, I know everybody so I feel better this year and I am more comfortable with the language and everything.
"I got better as I played games [last season]. I played more than 40 games and for a new player that is good news. Now I want to be more regular in the new season and more determined when the games are difficult."
The full interview is now available on Arsenal Player. Laurent discusses his progress since last summer, learning from last season's mistakes, Gael Clichy's departure, improving in defence and why he is positive about the new campaign.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Simply, the Jets offense is not good. It ranks among the bottom five in total offense, and running back Shonn Greene isn't really helping. He is average 2.9 yards per carry and is of no help in the passing game. He has rushed for just 123 yards in the past four games. Backup Bilal Powell has been better than Greene this year, but head coach Rex Ryan isn't ready to bail on his starter.
"Have I lost confidence in Shonn Greene? The answer is no," Ryan said Thursday. "I think we keep giving him the ball. I just thinks it's a matter of time before he really starts popping. We all know once he gets rolling ... the whole team is lifted when your big back is running."
Fantasy Analysis:
This is just too much. I read that quote, and I laugh. But then I feel bad, because I realize how delusional Ryan is about his offense. He just can't help himself. Greene hasn't "popped" since 2009. Now he just looks like a bust. He has a good matchup this week against the Colts, but Greene can't be trusted as anything more than a flex.

1. Wearing Clogs vs. Drinking Tea in terms of Marketing your New Album
A certain kind of person wears clogs, the kind of person who allows the heel freedom of movement while imprisoning the toes. Tea, meanwhile, can be consumed by nearly anyone: It can wake you up in the morning. It can help you relax in the evening. It is a essentially an all purpose hot beverage of uncontroversial flavor. So, when you're marketing your new LP, you have to ask yourself: do you want to be seen as someone who discriminates based on shape and appearance (clogs) or do you want to be the kind of person who offers a little something for everyone (tea)?
2. A Basket vs. Nostalgia in terms of Grinding Coffee Beans Just Right
You can crush beans with a basket. Will they be "just right"? Probably not. But they'll be finer than they were when you started. Nostalgia, on the other hand, will not only not grind your beans; it'll actually make it impossible for you to ever grind your beans right again. You'll always think back to cups of coffee from the past, remembering how perfect they tasted, and so your current cup will never see adequate.
3. Tongs vs. A Man-Made Lake in terms of Masking Your Emotions
Taking a dip in the man-made lake will wash away the tears, but if you do it too much, people will start to realize something's wrong. "Why is he always in that lake?" you friends'll wonder. "Is he keeping something from us?" Tongs are far more portable. You can take them anywhere, so you're never mysteriously absent. And when you have them, you don't need to touch anything or anyone directly, which is important, as the slightest quiver in your hand can reveal your deepest, darkest thoughts.
Last week, user Turken straight-up schooled me on why a hand-buzzer is best for a buffet, thus earning himself the Rebuttal of the Week. Here, take a look:
When preparing to eat at a buffet, the true measure of preparedness is not the state of your stomach, but rather where you stand in line. After all, first in line gets the choicest pick of all the dishes. And if the buffet in question is a pot-luck dinner (vs. overpriced-all-you-can-eat-extravaganza) position in line is of the absolute importance!
Deep breathing is only useful in gaining a line advantage if those breaths are foul enough to push the competition out of the way. However, since you've yet to actually eat from the buffet, chances are it won't be all that foul yet.
On the other hand (ha!), a buzzer is the perfect tool for gaining your positional advantage. With a buzzer you can walk up to whomever is at the front of the line, feign a friendly greeting, and then after shocking them slip in front to grab a plate before they recover and realize what you just did.
Advantage: hand buzzer.
Now, you get the chance to follow in Turken's footsteps. So go ahead - post your rebuttal to the comments thread and you could be here next week!

Certain kinds of people drink tea: British with pinky extended, Southerners with sweet tea, Northerners with fruity tea. Nobody wears clogs anymore, unless they're clogging -- to music. Dancing is always a boost to album promotion. Advantage is clearly to the clogs.
Safe to assume #3 is referring to "Masking" your emotions?
I love tea! its the cure to soothing your soul and mending your heart
I respectfully disagree with you on this one. Your argument that someone who wears clogs allows freedom of movement for the heel while imprisoning the toes is bunk. Clogs, much like the mullet, are business in the front, party in the back. People would therefore see you as both someone who knows how to have fun and someone who can get the job done. Tea drinking, on the other hand, only proves you have a softer side, and unless you are Enya (or Barry Manilow), this is probably not what you are going for.
Advantage: Clogs
After too many years of wearing heels, I now wear clogs due to a painful Morton's Neuroma in my right foot. (Sanitas are a godsend and the closed back clogs make my toes free from being scrunched.)
However, I also drink tea.
So, I'll likely buy your LP no matter what.
Wearing Clogs vs. Drinking Tea in terms of Marketing your New Album
Right answer, but the wrong reason.
Marketing today is all about social networking. People buy from people that they know, like, and trust. There are not many people who trust someone wearing clogs, and clogs really aren't that great as a conversation starter.
On the other hand, tea is an effective diuretic. Which means that you will have to make frequent and lengthy trips to the bathroom. And what better forum could there be for making personal contact with potential fans? It's an intimate setting where they have the opportunity to get to know you, and it's far more effective than standing around, staring at your clogs, hoping that someone will talk to you.
Big advantage: Tea

Fixed! (Thank you!)
Tongs vs. A Man-Made Lake in terms of Masking Your Emotions - right answer but completely off the mark.
The key to masking your emotions is not to mask your depression. We're all depressed, or at least all of us who don't have a cushy Woot! job.
You need to mask the positive emotions that make people want to push you into the man-made lake because they're envious. In order to do this, the tongs are invaluable. If you're happy you just grab your nose with them and squeeze. Voila - instant tears - you fit in with your depressed friends again.
Of course if you suddenly find yourself attracted to one of your depressed friends, something stronger is called for. Grabbing your naughty bits and squeezing hard should get that love nonsense out of your head.
You have the tongs/man-made lake all wrong.
The key is not to go in the lake. The key is to drown absolutely everyone you meet or even receive a call, email, or social media interaction with in the man-made lake. For this, you will need a large lake. However, unless the emotion you want to mask is "psycho guy that drowns people in lakes", it will have both an immediate effect of masking your emotions while you drown them by requiring your complete concentration, and a prolonged effect of surrounding you with fewer and fewer people and therefore less masking required.
Since tongs also cannot mask "psycho guy that drowns people in lakes", and tongs do not intrinsically lessen the amount of masking you must do, lake wins.
Tongs vs. A Man-Made Lake in terms of Masking Your Emotions - right answer, but wrong conclusion.
There are many ways to mask one's emotions. Attempting to blend in is one way such way. But, if you are attempting to blend in, why not go full throttle and have a special thing associated with you. You could be a swims in man-made lakes guy, but you would always be prune, and no one likes giving high fives to a sopping wet, wrinkled sack of sinusoidal flesh, right? There are other that guy options, however, such as food guy--or better yet, BBQ guy. Armed with tongs of immaculate and transcending bliss, you dive head first into every situation with an epic combination of juicy BBQ tri-tip and chicken breasts. Everyone will be too busy enjoying your legendary BBQ to notice any emotions you are having, good or bad.
Advantage: Tongs
When it comes to grinding coffee beans 'just right', one needs to take into account the fact that coffee isn't really enjoyable to begin with -- ever. But that doesn't have to stop you from remembering it as though it were.
With nostalgia on one's side, one can likely recall dozens or more relationships of days gone by that were made sweeter and happen to be incontrovertibly mixed in with that caffeinated mistress.
That time at the ski lodge; that old friend that had to start each day with it; if there were ever a reason to grind beans in the first place, it would be to resurrect or attempt to re-live those times.
One need not even follow through with drinking the end product; but at least you would have taken a step down memory lane and ground up those beans...just right.
That's about the last point that coffee is 'just right', after all; ground up there on the counter and ascending to your olfactory as opposed to descending into your gastro system.
Grinding beans with a basket just seems like it would produce a lot of anger and make you awfully sweaty. I would have to give the advantage to Nostalgia.
I'm going to give my vote to the man-made lake for masking emotions. Sure, it's man-made and all, but that means that it's certainly expandable. If one were able to expand said lake to the size of, say Crystal Lake (of Friday the 13th fame, as well as being an actual lake in my hometown), one could obviously become a masked killer such as Jason Voorhees (of Friday the 13th fame, fortunately not as well as being an actual killer in my hometown).
And, really, does anyone ever know how to read Jason's emotions?
Advantage: a man-made lake

Division of Hematology & Medical Oncology
For more than 25 years, the NYU legacy of providing compassionate care for all regardless of means has informed the clinical, educational, and research activities of NYU's Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology. The division offers top-of-the-line patient care and fellowship training at Tisch Hospital, Bellevue Hospital Center, and the Veterans Affairs Hospital.
It is also a major component of the NCI-designated Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone. The division collaborates closely with Radiation Oncology, and with the various surgical subspecialties in oncology.

The Israel government has asked the Supreme Court to rescind its release of a West Bank settler who shot two Palestinians in Hebron last week. State prosecutor Ze'ev Braude wants the settler who shot the Palestinians during the evacuation of Hebron's House of Contention must go to jail and not simply be under house arrest. The Court has allowed him to remain in the Hebron area as long as he is within the area of his home. The Supreme Court is arguing there is insufficient evidence the Israeli settler was not under threat by the Palestinians.
The defense of Braude that he acted in self defense is a bit hard to accept given that the two Palestinians did not possess weapons. It is decisions such as these that place into question the integrity of Israel law when it comes to issues of Palestinians getting shot by Israelis. We can assume if a Palestinian shot two Israelis the decision would be immediate prison.

Some buddies and I are planning on coming up to ND this fall (Oct. 20th or so) and try our luck at waterfowl hunting. Most of us are all pretty serious waterfowlers here in Missouri, but have never visited your state. I know I am looking forward to seeing the Missouri Couteau and hopefully getting to experience some field hunting. In my part of Missouri, I usually get water hunting, but last fall got into a little field hunting and had a blast. I'm hoping to get to experience that this fall in ND. Anyway...we all don't really know what we are doing and what to expect, but we all have high hopes and are exited about coming up. We have been doing quite a bit of internet research on ND waterfowl hunting for NR's and I think we have enough info to at least have fun. I just wanted to let you guys on this forum know, that although I have not been active in asking for information, I have been lurking for a few months and reading posts and I am VERY appreciative of the ND guys' willingness to help out with info to out-of-staters. You don't find that willingness everywhere (including here in the state of MO.) If any of you ever do find your way to MO, and need some info/help on waterfowl opportunities here, just drop me a line...I would be happy to help you how I can and try to return the hospitality.
Again I'm looking forward to coming up and hopefully we'll bump into a few of you guys.

This clip ensures that the knob is securely fastened to the control shaft, allowing you to properly select the correct time and setting for your dryer. If your dryer will not start or shut off, the timer will not advance, or the dryer shuts off too soon, the issue may be the control knob itself. This part is sold individually. Although this part fits with some different brands, be sure to check the list of brands below to make sure it fits with your dryer unit. Refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer for further installation instructions.
This part works with the following brands: General Electric, Hotpoint, Kenmore.
This part works with the following products: Dryer, Washer, Dishwasher.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Removed the 3 knobs. They just pull off. Removed 6 screws on the back side of the control panel. The front (plastic panel then just separates from the back). Then look at how the switch is mounted on the plastic panel. There should be 2 small pieces of plastic that holds it in. Carefully twist the switch in the appropriate direction so it comes free. Before you remove any wires from the old switch remember what colors go where ! I used needle nose pliers to remove the connections from the switch. Make the new connections, mount the switch, put the screws back in the panel. BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING. UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORD !!!

It was so incredibly simple! The site made it foolproof to find the right parts - and the actual replacement job itself was easier than we ever could have imagined. Background: I love to do laundry - I mean A LOT! So - I use the washer and dryer every night to wash the familie's clothing and blankets and towels. After heavy use - the outer knob stripped out. We threw it away and were using pliers to turn the small plastic knob underneath. After a few months - that plastic wore down and we could not turn it on at all!
We live in a Condominium, space is tight especially in the Utility room where the washer/dryer are located. Turned dryer breaker off at the electical panel. Removed the top cover and front assembly w/door and front drum support, right where the unit was located. Had to gain rear access to loosen drum drive belt so undid the dryer vent hose to floor connection through a front acess hole. Moved the unit out to the breakfast nook as well as disconnecting the power cable from the wall socket. Removed the rear access panel covers and unhooked the drive belt. At the front removed the top screws off the lower cross member to allow spreading of the side covers to allow the removal of the drum. Removed drum and found the bearing bushing gone, reduced to powder.Using the supplied instuction sheet, replaced the rear bearing assembly, replaced the drum after vacumming the whole interior and started the reassembly of the unit using the new belt and moved the unit back into place. Reconnected the power cable and dryer vent then lastly replaced the lint filter and selector knob. Closed the breaker and turned on the machine, no noise!!!Incidently I am 78 years old. Thanks PartSelect.
I took apart the top of the dryer and removed the switch and replaced it with the new one. I also removed the knobs and replaced them. Easy
First I removed the 4 screws that held the element in place. I pulled it out, and than I decided to check on the hose that was attached to the water level pressure switch, so I opened the front of the washer and sure enough, all I had to do was clean the hose attached to the water sensor, and as it turned out, I really did not need to change the water sensor, but at least I have a water level pressure switch, water sensor just in case I really do need to change it.
I had immediately assumed the problem was the timer/switch, P/N WE4M365 and foolishly ordered that part. Should you ever encounter non-adjustment of the timer/switch, try another knob from the console. That was the only problem here as it turns out. Also, the knob DOES come with the "D" shaped insert clip.
I took the old one off and the new one went right onto the dryer. It was very simple to do.
The person on the phone was so helpful in locating the exact timer needed. We received the prt 3 days later and it was so easy to install. I would highly recommend this company. A local shop wanted to charge 3x more then what we paid.
Disassembled back splash to inspect timer. Ordered parts (at a 50% discount from brick and mortar stores). Parts delivered in two days. Installed new timer and had everything back together in 10 minutes. No-brainer!
Just followed the installation video. The only issue with the video was that a phillips screwdriver was specified and I actually needed a torx screwdriver.
Replaced failde timer with parts. parts arrived quickly
After taking off:5 screws off the back2 in the front - Husky screws in the frontpanel clips - the top panel was opened.1 more screw for starter switchDONE - under 15 minutes.
replace both,in less than 5 minutes.save 80dollars in labor
replaced timer, knob. 30 minuted done. It was great!
Removed broken knob. Pushed new knob on shaft. Worked great.

Oreck® Steam-It®
The All-Purpose Steam Wand
The Oreck Steam-It uses steam to remove dirt & grime. The Oreck Steam-It has a unique vapor chamber making it easy to clean above the floor without spilling. It's an easy way to get a deep down clean without the use of chemicals or detergents.
Just add water, turn the Steam-It on, and it heats up in less than a minute – creating a high-temperature, low-moisture dry steam that quickly removes dirt and deep cleans virtually any hard floor surface. To sanitize those particular hard floor areas just focus the steam on high while mopping for at least 5 seconds.*** It also cleans windows spot-free, cleans kitchen and bath fixtures, tile and grout, helps remove stains from furniture and car upholstery, and even freshens pillows and mattresses.* And surfaces are dry within minutes!
With four attachments, you're sure to cover nearly every inch of your home.

Steam head
The Steam-It is quiet and portable, reaches virtually anywhere (even ceiling fans, cabinets and light fixtures), and can even be turned upside down without spillage. There are no expensive replacement cleaning pads to buy, either, because the Steam-It comes with four washable microfiber bonnets. And only the Steam-It has universal cleaning clips that let you use your own household towels. It comes with a 4-piece attachment kit, a 1-year limited warranty, and is tough enough for everyday use. The Oreck Steam-It: a safe, easy, all-natural way to clean your home.
Blogger Reviews
|Miss Mustard Seed describes the kind of clean you get with the Steam-It as like "walk over it with your white socks and your white socks are still white kind of clean."
|This video from House of Rose shows why she is "super excited" that the Steam-It, with its 6 attachments and adjustable steam, can be used on more than hardwood floors.
|With a family of six (and neighbor kids coming in and out, too) homeschooling mom Tiffany thought there was "no way that water only with a regular mop was going to get it for us." But after using the Steam-It® on her vinyl, bathroom and kitchen floors — and even the stovetop — she's a believer in chemical-free cleaning. Get all the pics and details at Eat at Home.

Protects and Cushions Items—These packing options provide a protective layer around items within shipping boxes or envelopes to prevent damage. Each type of packing fill specializes in protecting certain material, so using bubble wrap and packing tape together, you can keep anything safe. Preventing damage reduces the risk of having to send expensive replacement items.
Bubble Roll
Bubble wrap rolls and other bubble packing materials are flexible and versatile. Use sheets to wrap securely around any item and, with a little nudging, you can protect small nooks in pieces, such as delicate statues or electronics. Bubble material absorbs shocks and provides a buffer that keeps wrapped materials safe.
Packing Peanuts
This loose packing fill is perfect for filling up the extra space in large boxes. Peanuts take up space so that the package contents are unable to move and shift as much when tossed around during shipment, so there is less chance of damage. Since peanuts are a very lightweight form of packing fill, you can use them to take up extra space around pieces that are wrapped in bubble or flat packing material.
Flat Packing Material
Items like newsprint sheets and chipboard pads are great separators for flat materials packed in padded bubble mailers so that items don't get stuck together. Use these flat options to separate books, papers, magazines, or files that are shipped together. Thick flat packing materials, such as corrugated sheets, absorb impacts during shipment to reduce the risk of damage to the products. Sturdy flat board materials can be used to provide stability to flimsy items, such as clothing, so the receiver gets a pristine product. Packing peanuts and bubble wrap rolls ensure that your packing job is done right.

Research Mentorship Program
The Research Mentorship program began in 2012. The goal of the mentorship program is to provide nurses with the support and skills necessary to conduct a research study in their area of clinical interest and to improve patient care through the implementation of research and evidence based practice projects.
Each year two nurses are selected to work with a nurse researcher from the Center for Nursing Research. The nurse researcher will help the nurse refine their idea, obtain approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB), collect and analyze data and disseminate their results. Applications for the Research Mentorship program are accepted each spring and they are reviewed by a committee within the CNR.
Contact Bonnie Raingruber, R.N., Ph.D. for details at (916) 734-7850 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Dr. Charles K Davis, Cameron Endowed Chair in Management and Marketing at University of St. Thomas, has been designated as conference chair for the 2014 International Conference on Business Analytics, sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery, which will be held in Houston on Oct. 8 and 9.
This conference will address business analytics techniques and software tools to support complex big data analytical processes. It will also discuss how business analytics impacts and changes business organizations and their competitive situations.
"This is a major international conference," Davis said. "It promises to be an excellent opportunity to network and exchange ideas among leading researchers in the critical and rapidly developing field of Big Data Analytics that is increasingly impacting every aspect of modern business practice s."
The Association for Computing Machinery, a leading organization for computer professionals, both academic and practitioner, chose Davis as the general conference chair based on the research he conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on business analytics last year.
"My goal in developing this conference is to bring leading researchers in this new field to Houston and to help develop business analytics as an emerging academic discipline," Davis said.
Davis wrote an article "Beyond Data and Analysis: Why Business Analytics and Big Data really matter for modern business organizations," which was submitted to the prestigeous journal, the "Communications of the ACM" and has been accepted for publication.
The ACM organization is offering this conference for the first time and plans to establish a special interest group, or SIG, in business analytics that will continue to offer the conference in the future. This organization currently includes 37 SIGs; each focuses on a particular aspect of computing and networking technology or management.
Davis developed a model curriculum for a Master of Science in Business Analytics. He and co-author Dr. Charlene Dykman, professor of management information systems at UST, wrote an article, "Toward a Model curriculum for the Master of Science in Business Analytics."
"I presented this article at the Big Data Analytics Education Conference sponsored by IBM, Syracuse University and the University of Ottawa in November 2013," Davis said. "This article was included in the proceedings for that conference."
Davis is a data scientist, an authority on the use of the information technology in business with extensive academic and corporate backgrounds in developing, managing and auditing information technologies. He has held numerous technical and managerial positions with leading industrial firms. He has a Ph.D. in management information systems and quantitative management science from the University of Houston, an MBA in management and international business from Columbia University, a Master of Arts in Teaching in mathematics from Harvard University and a bachelor's in applied mathematics from Oklahoma State University.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Jul 1, 2009.
Re: Sportscenter: Pistons Reach Deal With Villenueva uhoh, multi threads.
Re: Sportscenter: Pistons Reach Deal With Villenueva WOW!!! We got a steal. Signing Charlie "No Brows" is reminding me alot of the Chauncey signing, 1 year - in the right situation- you produce, and it becomes your coming out party. Hell let's keep Rip; Trade Tay, Stuckey& Max for Ray Allen and have us a sho' nuff' UConn Huskie squad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can anyone find Khalid El-Amin, is he under 300lbs????
Re: ESPN Reports Gordon AND Villanueva sign Gordon was saying that he would allow Bulls to match an offer, but I guess it is all water under the bridge now: Former Chicago Bulls guard Ben Gordon on verge of signing with the Detroit Pistons -- chicagotribune.com
Re: [RUMOR] - Ric Bucher Reports - Gordon and Villanueva to the Pistons I second this motion
Re: ESPN Reports Gordon AND Villanueva sign I'm half and half on this one, I'm not sold on Gordon at all, not sure if he can play in our system and our frontcourt isn't strong enough to pick up his slack on the defensive end.
Re: ESPN Reports Gordon AND Villanueva sign Wow, is their any cap space left now?
Re: ESPN Reports Gordon AND Villanueva sign Pistons strike deal with Gordon - NBA - Yahoo! Sports Gordon: 5 year $55M CV: 5 year $35M
Re: ESPN Reports Gordon AND Villanueva sign Nope.
Re: ESPN Reports Gordon AND Villanueva sign With waiving Oberto we have somewhere between 4-5 million. His $1.7 million is actually going to come in handy.
I've merge all the Gordon Villanueva threads into this one and renamed the title to no longer reflect the rumor aspect. Thanks to everyone for posting timely articles. All I can say is, we ain't done yet.
I have been reading all of the bitter comments from Bulls fans on blogabull.com. Very fun. It just seems like this will have the opposite effect of the Ben Wallace signing. We come out on the better end with the BG signing for sure and hurt the Bulls in the process.
Re: ESPN Reports Gordon AND Villanueva sign Indeed. This means Joe can still take back more than he gives in a trade, saving the other team $5 million or so in cap space while also sending them an all star guard. I'm stoked.
Re: ESPN Reports Gordon AND Villanueva sign We already waive Oberto. This is it.
Isn't this some ironic u-no-whut, They steal our Ben and get a guy way past his prime that gave them absolutely nothing, we steal their Ben (For less money than it took for them to steal our Ben) and we get a sharp shooter in his mid 20's who seems as if he's finally starting to come into his own.............I think I'm gonna go listen to James Brown's, "The Big Payback"
Re: ESPN Reports Gordon AND Villanueva sign I second that motion...
I guess it is sort of fun to set our sister city arch nemesis back in the process of improving our ballclub vastly, LOL! I've got to figure Joe has some type of gravy deals lined up to trade of Tay or Rip, most likely Rip... It better be for HIGH quality big or something... Still not happy about what this may mean for #32's future here, but I am glad to have some new and good talent in the holster again!
Just land a center and we are a contender again
I sure would love if Joe could trade Rip. His contract is not an easy one to trade.
It all depends on the Rip trade. As of now: Chauncey was traded for Ben Gordon and Charlie V. Not good Enough
An amazingly quick rebuild if that happens.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I just did the Coastal Nav, 105 over the winter. That's a good one to do while the weather's bad and there's no sailing. Although I found that a bit difficult.. passed & well, but it made me sweat a little during the exam!
I tend to agree with the lesson folks here. 101 & 103 are great but, 105 is Coastal Navigation, that is a good one to have under your belt as well. My 2 cents of a year and a half of knowledge suggests, 101, 103, & 105. 104 can be fun too. I took 103 & 104 together in the Apostle Islands last year. Was a great time. I agree with MarkSF, they are like mini vacations.
Another reason to do ASA101 and 103 - they were fun! Each time I took a week off work and did the course during 4 days. Had a great but exhausting time. They were like mini-vacations for me. Welcome change of pace from work.
Looking forward to doing 104 next summer maybe.
My two cents
Here's my perspective:
I took the US Sailing Basic Keelboat course last fall and jumped into the Basic Cruising course to follow up on it this past weekend. I don't own a boat and don't have much experience. In the BC class with me were two guys who already owned boats and were looking to learn more about how to sail them.
One of the guys who owned his own boat and had been sailing it for years dropped out after the first day of class. He said that he didn't understand a thing the instructor was talking about (vocabulary...). He said that he had no idea why were doing what were doing (sailing theory...). He said he must have been put in the wrong course, and I can only hope that he didn't give up altogether, but instead dropped into the BK course.
The point is that self taught sailors can get to a certain point by themselves, but until you're working with others with an instructor forcing you to use the correct terms, constantly quizzing, etc. there's going to be a gap in knowledge.
Second point: If I were you, I'd take the classes now in smaller boats. Don't wait until you get your own boat. It may be worth it once you get your boat to hire an instructor for a day or two to go over the systems and establish procedures for the boat, but start laying down the background now.
Good luck.
Thanks for all the great responses - I'm glad they're still coming.
I went out on a friend's boat last night for the first of my many learn-from-sailing-with-other-people trips. Informal wednesday night racing (well, some people take it more seriously, as I learned from the shouting in other cockpits). Got a bit of an education in winches, spinnakers and race tactics while I was there.
I read through the syllabus Jackdale linked, and I was impressed enough to want to take some courses OR sail for a while with an instructor aboard my own boat. I haven't started researching particular instructors or organizations, because I have no intention of doing so until after I've purchased my own boat (one thing at a time, and I'm still spending time on OPBs to learn exactly what I'm looking for in my own boat).
It sounds like the largest issues people are bringing up are 1) tides and currents, 2) rules of the road 3) consequences of error. Another issue that is very pertinent to me personally is 4) deck gear on a mid-size boat. Now to address them in order:
1) I'm an oceanographer and a whitewater paddler. This means a few things. The less important facets are that I have a reasonable idea how and where tidal currents form, and have an excellent idea how boats handle in current (if it's got a keel, that can be summarized as "badly"). The more important facets are that I have HUGE respect for current (yes, I've seen the Skook wave, and I've canoed and kayaked on stuff like that, or bigger, a lot more than my grandmother would care to find out), also that I know where to find the tide and current tables for my area, and any area where I might be going. I will have those tables with me on board at all times, and I know how to read them. I've watched fibreglass boats shatter on rocks, and I've crawled out to stand on the rocks that wrecked them and wait for rescue. It wasn't fun, and I don't want it to happen again.
2) I know most of the rules of the road, and I know how complicated the other ones are. If I get into a situation in which I'm unsure, I'm more than willing to give way in the interests of safety, and make use of my radio (I've got that ticket already). More than Right of Way, however, I'm quite aware of the Right of Weight. I would never go and play with a freighter - it doesn't matter who's at fault, he's still gonna win. I use the same tactics riding my motorcycle.
3) Yes, the water is cold. No, I don't want to be in it. I've never been on hand to help rescue someone out there, but definitely listened to them on VHF 16. It's not fun, and I spent the whole time trying to dissect exactly what happened, why, and how I can not have it happen to me.
4) This is actually the point that is of most concern to me. I would have to and will spend a lot of time playing with the gear before I start sailing with it and working under load. It would be a slow process, likely starting with having only the main up and only going out in light winds, and gradually moving from sail to sail as my comfort level and skills increase. These are the skills that I'm most interested in improving in my little trips around the harbour. I also think that these are the skills that can get me into the most trouble (example: I'm sailing along, happily knowing exactly where I am, how fast I'm going, and what the tides are doing. I go for a tack, tangle a winch, get a bit stressed because my headsail is stuck in the wrong place, don't notice that my wheel torqued over a bit, veer towards the side of the channel, get into some stronger current, and then I'm on the rocks. Would the whole starts from a simple winch error. Of course, I could also have lost a finger or had some other mishap. The snowball effect is pretty common for disaster scenarios).
SeaLifeSailing - thanks for pointing that out about the commercial vs cruising certificates and the insurance companies. I hadn't considered that, and it makes a fair bit of sense.
Blackfish Al
I did a daysail in Victoria with Blackfish Al. It was an awesome experience and I found out he is a CYA instructor as well. Might be worth giving him a call since he's in your area.
|I agree. A boating safety course is a must and all insurance companies look favorably on some formal instruction. The ASA 101 and 103 course should be all you need. Otherwise, get out there and sail! Dent a boat. bend a mast but sail and enjoy!

Actually, if (probably) I sign up for the fall or Frostbite races again, we will be spinnaker division. This will give you a whole lot more to do up there at the pointy end of the boat.
Insurance discounts
JC, I am not trying to defend the insurance company folks; they will always find a great way to make the most money possible. The reason they won't give you discounts for the commercial stuff, is because it doesn't reduce the likelihood of you putting your sailboat onto a lee shore. In other words, those tickets make you a much more competent mariner, but not in terms that meaningfully mitigate their risks of having to pay out a claim against your new sailboat. I have trained lifelong freighter captains and they were surprised how much new information they picked up in a few days, because the content is specifically relevant to cruising boats and the scenarios we find ourselves in, which are very different from the risks on large, powered commercial craft. In terms of personal risk, I've seen experienced sailors doing things around winches that could one day cost them some fingers, or worse yet, a thumb. On my boat, in 20 kts of wind, there's something like 4000 lbs of line force on my Genoa sheets. When the sail is flogging, the peak line force can be much more than that. The cost of a moment's inattention can be very different than in a dinghy. Just sayin'...

I can't pretend I know the waters around Victoria like the back of my hand, but I do know how the currents form and where the rocks are likely to be (oceanographer ) so I'd be staying away from the rips and channels. I've been out on sailboats a fair bit - what will be new is the skippering, not the sailing.
That being said, I read through the syllabus Jack linked, and I was reasonably impressed. The chartwork, rules of the road and weather stuff I could quiz on now (I did so as I read it), but there's a lot in other sections that I didn't know (some of the power-oriented skills, rescuing a MOB under sail). I'll certainly put both of those courses fairly high up on my list. I'll also be fishing around for recommended instructors . . .
While I can't say that I'll take the course before I ever leave the dock, I will certainly take it, and reasonably soon. One thing re: insurance. I was talking to a Dolphin broker, and they were going to give me $15/yr off my insurance with a CYA course (not much, but a little). I was amazed, however, that she wasn't willing to give me anything for commercial/TC tickets (like an SVOP, MED A3, MED A1/2, etc), or for my previous offshore sea time (which is signed off by the skipper). Is that common?
Also, I have to ask: YeahJohn, did you mean you took a course in 'cruising', or was it actually 'cursing'? 'Cause I'd definitely take a course on how to curse like an old sailor . . .
Lessons: yay or nay
I am going to weigh in on this one.
As an instructor, of course I am biased, but here's why.
Putzing around in a sunfish on a warm inland lake is an awesome way to learn how to sail, and those of us who learned to sail this way, often encourage others to do so.
But if you're planning on going sailing in the Gulf islands, at very least, get out there with some experienced sailors first of all. We have some of the fastest tidal passes anywhere, due to the incredible amount of volume of water entering and exiting the Georgia Straight twice a day. Our water looks beautiful and calm, but we get some challenging conditions, and they can evolve pretty quickly. Planning on sailing up to Skookumchuck Narrows? The current there runs at over 15 kts at max flood, and I've seen videos of huge tugs being overturned. You have a 5 minute window there at slack tide to safely make that passage. Care to play roulette with your boat and your life, or does a lesson make sense?
Not sure where the shipping lanes are, and what the rules of the road are?
"Geez, I'm sailing, doesn't that give me priority over the freighter that's bearing down on me at 35 kts?" Not if you're in a commercial shipping lane, it doesn't.
Our water temps in the Straight mean that if you wind up overboard, whether in winter or in mid summer, you're into severe hypothermia in 40 minutes; the kind where they airlift you to the hospital if you're lucky enough to have your hand-held with you when you hit the drink.
If you don't believe me, pick up a cheap VHF handheld, and monitor channel 16 on a busy long weekend. You'll get a quick education in how many things can go wrong, really quickly. And most of the people calling in their 'May-Day's' are 'experienced boaters'. I don't mean to sound heavy-handed, by I interrupt my own sailing holidays quite a bit to help out boaters who are out there figuring it out on their own. Hitting a shoal while sailing at 8 knots though, may cost you your boat.
No, formal instruction will not stop you from making mistakes, and you need to make a whole bunch of your own. Only not sailing will prevent that. But formal lessons will point out in advance, a whole pile of classic blunders that can be very expensive. You don't need 'a bazillion courses and get a million certifications before you leave the marina', but some on the water instruction is a pretty good idea. If you don't want to get formal lessons, definitely spend some time on the water with experienced skippers. If you do decide to take on-the-water courses, then choose them based on the kind of sailing you plan on doing. If you plan on cruising, take a cruising course. If you plan on racing, follow that track. But the cost of a 4-day sailing trip with a professional instructor is less than my annual haul-out and bottom paint, or a couple of month's moorage.
And in the winter, why not take a coastal navigation course and the VHF radio operator's course? Cheap courses and money well spent. The cheapest insurance is the knowledge of how NOT to wreck your boat. Boats and everything on them are expensive; lessons are cheap. I was a self-taught sailor, and in the process of going through a whole series of courses, was shocked at how many knowledge gaps I had. Anyhow, that's my 2 cents worth.

I'm no stranger to boats, and can happily sail around aimlessly (I can even lay a course with set and drift, which is more than some). I've never raced, and have no idea how to bend a mast to change the shape of a sail.
Would I be a fool to pick a light day and go tack around? Should I carefully wait until I've spent more time on boats of a similar size? Should I take a bazillion courses and get a million certifications before I leave the marina? I really feel like I should d*mn well just go and make my own mistakes, but I still have enough rational thought left to question this foolish idea.
How great a store do you set by whatever CYA/AYA courses or racing as compared to old fashioned learning?

Back to our regularly scheduled thread:
Here are my recipes of the day (might be duplicates for what I've already posted in here, but oh well!)... Our local Finnish Club is having a mid-summer party in June, and I'm going to be BBQing up some beef ribs and chicken thighs.
Beef Ribs:
- Each rack will feed 3-4 people or so as a main course, 7 people if it's in addition to other meat
- Pre-heat oven to 350.
- Peel away the membrane from the back of the rack using a butter knife. Once you get used to this you can usually get it off in a complete sheet.
- Place the racks on large pieces of tinfoil, and season. I use about 3-4 cloves of garlic per rack, crushed and spread on top, then some cracked pepper and a little Montreal steak spice.
- Wrap the racks in about 3 layers of tin foil. Lots of fat/liquid will come out of the racks and you don't want to lose that. More tin foil is better than not enough.
- Place racks on cookie sheets with rims, in case any liquid leaks out. You could probably do up to six racks in one oven if you had 3 per cookie sheet, but I usually max out at 4 racks.
- Roast in the oven for AT LEAST 3 hours. I usually leave mine for 4 or so. You don't need to touch them, turn them, look at them or anything. JUST LEAVE THEM IN THERE!!!
- Remove racks from oven, open tin foil and drain off the fat. When cool enough to touch, use a sharp knife and cut the individual ribs off. The meat will be falling off the bone already so use a SHARP knife!
- Either bag them up for freezing right away, or place them on a grill on low-medium heat. You want to crisp up the edges a bit, and then start slapping on BBQ sauce. I usually just use bullseye bold original or similar, nothing fancy for me as far as sauces go. Sauce, brush, turn. Repeat a couple times. The sauce should just be starting to caramelize when you pull the ribs off the grill!
- If you've frozen any ribs, remove them from the freezer at least a couple hours before BBQing. They're already cooked so it's safe to remove from freezer and leave in the fridge for a couple days, take with you in the cooler, etc. Then I just BBQ as above and sauce after they've crisped up for about 10 minutes! Just make sure you freeze them fairly quickly after roasting, if you wait too long the meat will dry out on the counter.
BBQ Chicken Thighs:
- This is my other favourite for a large crowd, because they're easy to prep ahead of time, and forgiving on the grill. Each person will probably eat 2-3 thighs.
- Depending on the size of the crowd and how fancy I want to get, I'll make anywhere from 1-3 marinades. I don't have exact recipes for them as they're a little different each time.
- Marinade 1: This is my usual marinade and it's a little different each time. I throw the boneless skinless thighs in a freezer bag, then toss in some white wine, a little canola oil, medium curry powder (a lot!), black pepper, and sometimes some verjus (wine juice).
- Marinade 2: Again, toss the thighs in a freezer bag, add in some white wine/verjus, canola, Montreal chicken spice, and some garlic powder or crushed garlic.
- Marinade 3: White wine/verjus, canola, smoked salt, and pepper. (this batch I'll rub with BBQ sauce when they're nearly cooked)
- BBQ should be on low, chicken thighs like to cook slowly! I'll usually have a bit of a system between the top racks and bottom. Turning every 5 mins or so. When they're about half done I throw the ribs on the bottom rack and get them going. On my smallish BBQ I can get about 20 ribs and 30-40 thighs at the same time!
If we're having corn at the same time, I just toss them right on the bottom rack on low-med heat still in the husk, hair and all. They're done when the husks are looking golden but the leaves inside are still bright green. I can't wait for BBQ season!!!
|This thread sounds like an old person made it. The OP just created it because he wants everyone to think he's a chef even though his food has never been recognized by people outside his friends/family.

For things like tuna/ swordfish, olive oil, dill, wasabi, pepper and little cane sugar if I feel like it.
For things like halibut/ salmon, same as above but replace olive oil with white sauce.

Hey guys. I'm Nick and I'm new here and I'm stuck on this part. What have you guys done for the vest? Any help would be great.
Hey guys. I'm Nick and I'm new here and I'm stuck on this part. What have you guys done for the vest? Any help would be great.
Hey man welcome to the forums. I really dont know much about the vest but I have had people give me some suggestions. I'm pretty sure most people use leather and make one themselves out of templates. If you go to your local Hobby or Crafts store I'm sure you can ask one of the nice ladies that works at the fabric counter for a pattern of a vest. Some people have also used pillow cases I believe. Another thing that you could use could be a plate carrier but they are a little expensive and I have no idea how you would attach your plates to one. I hope this helps
I found some old fabric in my basement that I don't care about and made my own pattern out of it. I kept refitting it -- pinning and what not -- until it fit me the way I wanted it to. Then I made them as neat as I could so to use them as patterns for the actual vest. I bought the fabric that I wanted, which was black vinyl-like material, and cut out the vest from it. I sewed it up, putting a zipper on one side so I could get it on and off easily. After that, I decided I would attach my plates with velcro. On the plates I use Industrial Strength sticky back velcro but used regular sew-on velcro on the vest (sticky back velcro doesn't agree with sewing machines). The only real difference I could see in the industrial velcro and the regular stuff was the side with the hooks, as apposed to the more "furry" side. The industrial velcro's hooks were stronger and more organized than that of the regular stuff. So I used that in sticky on the plates and the regular "fluffy" on the vest. To position the plates, I put on the vest, marked the plates with chalk and then kind of rubbed the chalk onto the vest (chalk wont hurt the fabric at all and it isn't permanent so it's easy to reposition). Then I applied the velcro where necessary.
I hope that gives you some ideas!
Thanks for the ideas. I'll see what I can do.
I'm thinking of using a lifevest, but have not found one big enough for me.
There are a lot of people here and on the mercs boards who do custom sewing. A well made and well fitted vest is essential to a good costume, I highly recommend looking in the trading station for soft parts makers and getting in touch with them. They're quite affordable.
I have a similar inquiry, I want to go with a vest for the armor to wear over these coveralls for the underarmor. I have 2 coat/jacket liners I found at a Army supply store that can be used as a vest with a little modification to them. Would that be good to use? The're pretty durable.
Seriously, for real..cannot stress this enough. By the time you've spent the money and labor on modifying an existing piece, you could have just ordered a vest from a legit maker. ladysewforus is pretty much industry standard...look her up. Modifying jackets/liners/other will not get you the shape and fitment you need to look good.
Jay is correct. A well fitted and properly made vest is essential for a kit to look good. Don't try and take a short cut. Save your pennies and get a vest that is well made and will last you. Trooping is strenuous on a costume...and a poorly made vest can come apart in a hurry, I know this from experiance.
That makes sense, I'll look into it, thanks.
