Does anyone have any information about where I can get some worthwhile practice?
I obtained my Cert.4 years ago and have done self-directed voluntary teaching but I have realised for some time that I need a guidance.
I contacted a summer school here in Norfolk last year,and while they were willing to have me look on,they couldn't decide on dates.
Anything legal considered!

This thread is for sharing your reasons for not getting a certain brand, because of some observance (real or otherwise).
I'll start:
I would get a Subaru, but for some reason the doors feel and slam "tinny". Never mind that I know they have great crash ratings, and all wheel drive would be very beneficial to me; whenever I go to the showroom all it takes is for me to sit in the driver's seat and reach for the door to close, and it's all over for me.

|ZETEC Performance (2000-2004) The place to chat about any 2.0L Zetec engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The SVT conversion is the single best "bolt on" performance mod that can be made on the Zetec. The HP gain per $ spent will be less on any other bolt on. the SVT header has shown solid gains in the 11HP mark at the wheels. With a Tune, and Dyno tuning Adjustable Cam Gears are some of the best mods that can be done on the Zetec. The only other way to get a higher HP increase per $ spent will be going forced induction.
You can also waken up your car by new springs and suspension changes that are relatively cheap.
|cool beans, well that definitely answered that, but that seems like a lot of work for that gain: would doing something like a magnaflow system be comparable? or is there really no comparison
Thanks! The Tick is coming along... doing body work right now while waiting on availability of parts and funds to buy parts.
The SVT header requires you to convert the rest of the exhaust that is not replaced by a CAT back.
If you go with a SVT header you need: SVT header, SVT CAT, SVT Flex, SVT Oil Dipstick Tube, SVT PS Line (or bend your current line), EGR block off plate w/tune or EGR bung welded in.
a Tune is recommended in general with this because you can lean out at WOT. not sure any one had damaged the motor but you would lose power.
I believe the stock SVT CAT is higher flow then Zetec stock CAT. Your gains from this conversion is not from the change of the cat rather the change to a full length 4-2-1 header that the SVT is.
Very cool, that's a great site! I'll probably end up getting one of these, definitely more but i'll feel more comfortable with something more quality (warentee's pretty cool too)
Also, is there a benefit to using the SVT cat as opposed to a magnaflow or something similar? Is there a difference in size or is it just a better build?
btw dig the tick
Dont want to put a tangent on your plan but have you looked at this:
$330 + $30 shipping to you for a good high quality 2.5" exhaust CAT Back. with choice of 5 different mufflers.
So $360 out of your $500 budget leaves you $140 for other changes. If you want to stay on budget then I would go with the Trubendz 2.5" flex pipe also for $140... that would put you only around a few dollars over budget. save for the SVT conversion, sell the flex to make up some of the cost.
Or after getting the CAT Back wait, and can check the FS section and see if you can score for an SVT exhaust header, cat and flex for around $250-$300 ish.
I'm aiming to do the whole thing for ~500, I realize it's a stretch but that's the goal.
and thanks Don, the bung idea is certainly not the way to go then, I'll check out the SVT parts and price them out.
You will not want the shorty header. it gives you no gain.
What is your budget for the whole exhaust system change...
If you are wanting to remain street legal you would need to keep the catalytic converter. That is if your state has emissions and vehicle inspections. The only way you could get away with running a straight pipe minus all the other equipment is to have the car as a track only car meaning that you can't register it to be driven on public roadways. But, if you really want to get the most bang for your buck and still remain legal, you can find a used SVT header, SVT catalytic converter and SVT flex pipe along with a 2.25" or larger exhaust. Then you would also need a tune to optimize everything as well. If you ask me, the Pacesetter header is a waste of money. It will rust to pieces before you know it.
But as I said, it depends on your state inspections as to what you can do. If you don't have emissions or vehicle inspections you can probably get away with running an SVT header with an off road pipe which essentially eliminates the catalytic converter.
Exhaust Overhaul Questions for 2001 ZX3
Hey Focus Fanatics,
I've been reaping the benefits of this site and i've finally come to the point where I need some help. I'm planning on doing up my exhaust within the next month, but i'm at a loss with the catalytic converter and the flexpipe.
I've already decided on the pace setter 'shorty' for the manifold. For the cat-back i'm pretty settled on the Spec-D one, as cheap as it is i've heard good things (this is up for debate). But I need to figure out what i'm doing between all of that, specifically the catalytic converter. Are there any particular brands anyone's had luck with? I'm looking for something I wouldn't have to weld (I don't trust myself with that).
Also I've heard a lot about those "bung" things? What is the benefit to having that? I certainly realize it's illegal as a driving car but what about a track toy**? Would it be some sort of strait pipe in leu of that?
Lastly, the flex pipe, is it worth replacing? Or do most kits come with this?
Thanks for all the help in advance, this site has been a pretty sweet reference for me
** legal stuff

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I went for a drive back in High School when my ex and I split up. Had a few tears in my eyes and didn't realize that I was heading for a stopped pickup in the road. I slammed on the brakes and turned the wheel to the right, but if the wheels aren't rolling, you won't change direction. So I skidded into the back of him doing 45.
My close call came years later after when I came up on my friend's bumper and locked them up and turned the wheel again. About 10 feet away from his bumper, I let off the brakes and when the front wheels gripped, it threw me off the road tapping a road sign. . . . . . then I ***** myself.
I had my first wreck about two weeks ago while I was home from college for thanksgiving break. I was driving out of town on a four lane highway heading south (right side of road). I am in the left lane in my dad's 1991 Mercedes 190e (his baby), I woulda taken my camaro but I didnt feel like getting it warmed up for a short drive to the junkyard. So I am driving along with nobody on my right side in the right lane. And I see this women in a Cadillac, with a clear view, inching forward to come across the median and turn north. I coulda sworn that we made eye contact and she just kept inching forward. So at this point, I decide she is gonna keep being stupid and pull out in front of me so I had already started slowing down some and I slam on the brakes. I end up t- boning her in the left rear door going about 30 mph. I glance off and come to a stop on the shoulder. The airbag did not deploy and luckily everyone involved was wearing a seatbelt and all walked away. I was extremely angry when I climbed through the pass. side door (mine was jammed shut by the left front impact) and just had to be talked down to being calm by the people around me. The first firefighter there was my neighbor and he got me calmed down. So anyway, the car was messed up, suspension and frame on left front pushed back and all front end sheet-metal needs replaced. Her caddy needs a new door, new wheel, and rocker panel pulled and it'll be fine. So the insurance comp. totals the car, prolly due to age, and we'll prollly get decent market value for it. I just wish that people would take their time a little bit more and just pay a little more attention. My wreck wasn't bad, but it coulda been a lot worse.
And after the wreck, I looked thinking that maybe if I coulda held my lane I woulda gotten through, but judging by my skid marks and where they hit her car at, she woulda hit me in the right front and shot me into a guardrail and down a steep bank, so I think I took the best way out.
i freak out, and drive like a bat out of hell out of there. long story short, i got caught, talked my way out of it and the guy didn't even make me pay for it, but it did go on my insurance record.
in other news
i had a bad experience almost wreaking my motorcycle.
i was cruising down the street doing 65 in a 35 , and i approach a "just turned green light". i decide to go right though because the right lane was open. right as i get to the intersection, this stupid ***** on a cell phone pulls right out in front of me. so i clamp on to those brakes, locking up both wheels and the rear end starts to come around, so i let off, and then i start getting front wheel wobble. right as i thought that i was dead i finally came to a stop.
the worst thing about the whole ordeal was the wheel wobble. it doesn't matter what you do, until you get under a certain speed, you better hold on or jump off because you can't stop it.
|I remember one day in the 9th grade (yes, learners permit), my mom and I were both sick, but I felt well enough to go to school. As I was backing out I lightly (yeah right) bumped a car parked across the street from our driveway. So I did the crash and dash and thought nothing of it. When I came home, I found out that, while going to the store to get 7-up, my mom did the same thing, only she confessed. I didn't tell her I hit it too untill I was about 24.
had a snow storm.. switched lanes.. a car in front of me was changina a flat from hitting the curb.. i saw them not moving.. thats when i hit the breaks.. and then they decide to lock up.. slode at an angle hit the curb at like 10 mph at an angle.. this was in my dads ford f-250 ... i guess its better to hit a curb then a car.. the only damage to the truck was just an off alignment.. and 60 bux later.. its fixed..
i have a ?.. anyone ever hit a parked car?.. or do a hit n run.. i know its not right to hit n run.. but if u have the chance to run.. would ya?
I got my license the week after I turned 14.
Restricted to 6AM to 6PM ( by myself) or anytime IF a 21 year old licensed driver was with me.......
Of course that was over 40 years ago

|man u guys gotta watch out...we cant be losin any of u now!
Sounds pretty rough.I can't believe that you were 22 the first time that you started driving.I couldn't imagine myself waiting that long.Of course,I've always been used to everyone starting to drive at 16 .
Yeah,I know what a Restricted License is.I didn't apply for one of those.I've got a way to and from school,and I don't have a job yet.I'll get my regular license next fall,so it's no biggie.Be careful out there.Nope,those insurance companies don't like wrecks.Of course,they'll take money as long as you'll give it to 'em,but when it comes time for them to pay,they take the cheapest way out that they can.
Geez dude!!You've been through it all!Those Ranger's are nice,ain't they !?
Keep 'em coming !!
HHHmmmmm. Where do I start? Well, my fist accident was in my mom's car. I was picking her up from work, and on the way home some old guy ran a stop sign. I lightly T-boned him, wasn't but $1200 in damage, and he paid. You old guys gotta watch those stop signs!! Second was in my Ranger. Took a U-turn wide. As I was getting into the right lane, a Jeep went behind me. I was trying to get into the left lane, as I went for the left lane the Jeep was right there! I planted the front drivers side fender into his passenger doors. Best part was, it was his girlfriends car, she was in the pass. seat, she didn't have insurance. nor did he. Officer ran his license, came back that he had a warrent for his arrest in Fla, he got arrested, she got ticketed. I got a ticket for not yielding to a yellow light. Third was in my Ranger again. Was coming home from the Homer Regional Airport at 2:30 A.M. The road to/from the airport is all S-turns. I was being stupid and speeding. I was doing about 40-45MPH. I was doing it all right too, hitting the apex, accelerating out the turns, perfect shifting too. I came up on the last turn when my passenger (later to also be my flight instructor) said he saw headlights heading our way. As I went to get back onto the right side of the road I hit a huge patch of wet tar (it was also just begining to rain). The truck lost traction and acted as if it were on skates. I went straight off the road, down a small hill, and right into a tree!!! . I centered up on it to, the oval was actually stuck to the tree!!! We pulled it out with my friends 4Runner, pulled the bumper off the tire with a chain and the 4Runner, and I drove it back to the airport where I left it for the night. I went back the next morning and stripped all the busted parts off and threw them in the back. I drove it busted for 2 months, when I "sold" it to the insurance company and got my 2001 Malibu. So far I have only had one fender bender with the Malibu. Nothing serious, just rear ended a F-150 on the interstate. Actually, I just clipped my right fender on the corner of his bumper. Had to put a new fender, headlight bracket and right hand side mirror on. I was quoted by a repair shop at $1306 for them to fix it. I fixed it myself for $400, including paint.
Man, going through all that, I need to learn to drive!!!!
|Im 15 and have my restricted license which means i can drive to school and work for those of you who don't know what it means. I guess you just get better as you drive. The stupidest thing Ive done is hit the side of my car on a tree in my driveway. Insurance company's don't like when you get in wrecks and they really really don't like teenagers getting in wrecks. Anyways hope you don't have any more close calls.
|Well your signature is still not working, lol. Over here you can only get your license at age 18. I was in the Navy then and never got round to getting a car or anything, then I got married and my husband did not have a license so I kinda never got round to it, could not even drive a car, but I could ride a bike. After he died I used some of the insurance money and bought my first car, finally decided it was time to learn to drive, I was about 22 years old. I had this thing about learning to drive in someone else's car and totalling it, so I waited till I had my own to mess up. Only disastrous thing I can remember from those days is having to go fetch my now husband from town about 500 miles away cos the exhaust fell off his motorbike and the cops impounded it. About 50 miles out of town the exhaust fell off the car, from the manifold, right off, my friend [she was 18 and had her 6 month old baby in the car] and I put it on the bike trailor I was towing and we just carried on driving, my first taste of how real noisy a car can be, needless to say I got arrested when we drove into the town where my husband was. They radioed the police from the town before as we drove thru and there was a road block as we drove in. I have avoided that part of the country ever since. We also managed to total a Laurel 280i on a pass in the pouring rain, never brake on a curve, never brake on a curve in the rain, we landed up balanced in a thorn bush, with about a 300 ft drop just after it, no one stopped for us, except a guy in a petrol tanker who wanted to haul the car up, but we decided to wait for morning for a tow truck.
My 2nd Close Call - 3rd Time's HOPEFULLY Not A "Charm"
I have my Learner's Permit and I've been driving for about 3-4 months.Right after I first started driving my Ranger,I took a curve just a little too hard and the truck started fishtailing.I applied the brakes and just kinda went with the swerve.Luckily,she straightened out and everything was good.I think that I was just a little too c0cky on that one,thinking that nothing would happen.But,it did.
Anyway,my 2nd close call happened 1 week ago,last Sunday night.My girlfriend had been at my place all day and we were getting ready to take her home.I had just charged up my battery and I put it on my truck and started it to make sure that it would.Even though it's a Ford,it did start .Anyway,I let it warm up since it was so cold.Then,we took off to take her home.My Ranger is a single cab,so we were kinda crammed in there.It was me driving,my mother in the middle,and my girlfriend on the passenger's side.The reason for that is because my mother's like 5'6" and my girlfriend's like 6'1" and I didn't want her long legs in the way,especically while I'm trying to shift gears.We took the country route to my woman's place and a deer jumped out in front of us.I slammed on the brakes and skidded for about 10 feet or so.Luckily I have rear ABS and we didn't go to swerving.The front wheels locked down though.Anyway,I tapped the deer,but it didn't hurt the truck one bit.There's just a little deer hair on the bumper.
I'm still driving my Ranger,hoping that I don't have a 3rd close call that'll be my last.As a matter of fact,I don't want anymore close calls at all.But none the less,***** happens and it's unavoidable.We can just be as prepared as we can for when it does happen.
I want to hear some of ya'll's close calls.If you have any good stories from your first driving days or whatever..Let's hear 'em!!

Wojciech Szczesny has hailed Lukasz Fabianski as "the best No 2 in the country" and admits he faces a major battle to keep his place in the side.
The 22-year-old has enjoyed an impressive first full season in the Premier League, earning plaudits for a series of fine performances.
But Szczesny believes he faces serious competition from within the Club for his place and is taking nothing for granted.
"I think the quality of goalkeepers at the Club is as good as anywhere in the country," he told Arsenal Player.
"I believe Lukasz is the best No 2 in the country. Every time he goes in goal the team is confident he will do a good job, and to have someone like that behind you gives you a lot of motivation to work hard at the training ground.
"I know I have to be at my very best in every game because he is waiting to take my spot. It helps keep you sharp and to be at your very best."
Szczesny says that despite starting every Premier League game for the Club this season, he still has work to do before he can be confident of keeping his place.
"I am 22 years old and I don't think I am the established No 1; I still need to prove myself at this Club," he said.
"If we have this conversation in a few years' time and I have played 500 games, then I will feel established as the No 1. There is still a long way to go."
Watch the full interview with Wojciech on Arsenal Player.

According to everything I have in print the 68 mustang didn't come with 2.73 gears. The standard set for the 8-inch rear was usually 3.00. I was in the same boat last spring trying to figure out what to do with my 73 mustang. I had the stock 3.00 8-inch rear. After realizing how much more performance stuff that was available for the 9-inch I decided to swap out of my 8-inch. I found a 9-inch in a junk yard and rebuilt the third member with 3.70 precision gears and a new limited slip differential. While overhauling the 9-inch I found that the left axle was damaged, to my amazement the 8-inch axles were exactly the same size and both 28 spline. I think the trucks were 31 spline. And with a fresh 9-inch in the back I don't ever plan on having to worry about it going boom.
www.ridgenet.net/~biesiade/Fordrears.html
This address may give you some help with the rear measurements. You can see the 9-inch build-up in my photo album in the photo album section. Good luck, Ford Rules!
What I would advise you to do would just to buy a lower gear ratio and a limited slip. Something like 3.50 or 3.80. They usually range from $130-180. and about $400 for a good locker or limited slip. It would be much less work to do, and cheaper if you get it done by somebody else. than changing the whole rear and out. I'm pretty sure they didn't use the 8 inch rear end past the 70's. The third member that you have in your mustang is the stronger of the two designs so it should hold up nicely to whatever you do unless its going to be a race car.
If you want disc brakes what you could do is find a lincoln versailles rear end in a junk yard. It is a 9inch rear end usually with about the same ratio thats in your car now. They come with disc brakes and of course is a stronger rear end. The only problem with this is that its wider and would need to be shortened.
So i guess you have a couple of options here but, unless I'm mistaken i don't think any 8 inch rear ends came from the factory with disc brakes. you can buy good kits that start at about $500 bucks (stainless steel brakes).
Axle replacement for 68 Mustang
I have a 68 Mustang with an 8" rear axle with the standard 2.73 gearing. I am trying to find out if anyone knows of an 8" rear axle replacement from a newer vehicle that would work, like an Explorer or Ranger but that has the same width as the 68 Mustang.
I am looking to replace my axle with another that already has the higher gearing and possibly disk brakes too, overall width is my concern.

Jeramy & Josh
September 22
Paola, Kansas
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
There's really not one thing. The farm belongs to a member of my extended family. We knew that it was a beautiful, unique setting, and that we would be able to make the day exactly what we wanted it to be.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. My brother is a judge and performed the wedding.
2. The great food and cocktails: bbq smoked on-site, handmade juices, macarons and bitters
3. The farm atmosphere: cows and horses roaming in the pasture, cowboy boots, a bonfire to end the evening and the band!
3. If you could offer one piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
It sounds cliché, but do it for you and not for them. You can't please everyone, so figure out what will please you and get as close to that as you can. If you create a wedding that reflects who you are as a couple, everyone will have a great time and great memories.
4. Give us the one moment from your wedding day that you cannot stop thinking about.
We took some time toward the end of the day, as the sun was setting, to walk out into the pasture and take some pictures. It was the first time we had to ourselves all day, and we had freedom to be a bit silly.

He also has the opinion that he would never play with an openly gay baseball player and feels like if there was one on his team it would divide the team and it would be unable to succeed. You know, because everyone would be scared? I don't get that at all. He says it is because of his Christian beliefs and that is not the way he raised his family. Umm, I think his son was charged with sexual assault of a child but I guess playing with guys like that on your team would be ok because it was heterosexual.

So help me, I initially interpreted that "nose picker" was some sort of device that you bought on Woot and couldn't believe they made such a thing (nor that you expected most people to have one readily available in their vehicle). Only when the rest of your post sounded like gibberish in that context that I realized that a "nose picker" was a person in another vehicle.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 105
I'm only partially aware of the debate going on about the zine/magazine divide, so I'll only report what I have read in other publications. According to some zinesters and zine review zines, a zine never has (or should not have) a bar code and ISBN number.
You are right, Dan, I meant the ISSN. My memory probably failed me about the ISSN number being the mark of the devil.
Heath Rowe's website (and book, his Book of Zines is mandatory for all zinesters to own) has a lot of good zine history info and links, check out this page:

I don't understand, I know that the sugar content of the flowers around here (mid south) varies through out the day and from day to day sometimes drastically regardless of rain though atmospheric moisture may have something to do with it.
Also I was told that the predisposition of honey crystalizing had to do with the number of solids in the honey and the fructose/glucose ratio. Would not a drier honey be more apt to forming crystals as the supersaturaion point is higher?
Is fully capped honey being over 19.5 a new problem, happens all the time, or did it just start in the near past?

Hey everyone,
So I am an avid waterfowl hunter that has moved to Billings MT for grad school and I am looking for some guys to hunt with around the area. I am somewhat new to the sport, but am an addict for sure. I am proficient in calling ducks, but I'm in a battle with the short reed goose call improving every time I go out. I'd like to meet a few more people from around the area to take me out. I have all the gear needed for a hunt, decoys, waders, layout blind, deeks (more duck than geese), and I don't mind being the bird dog if needed.
If you wouldn't mind taking out a guy new to the area, you can reach me on here. I am more than willing to use my truck to get to the hunting spot, and it doesn't have to be your honey hole by any means. I'm an honest person and will keep the spot to myself, and frankly I don't know anyone from the area to share it with. I know it's tough for someone in my situation to find a group to hunt with, but figured I might as well give it a shot.
Thanks in advance,

Re: how to drop a mast on a soling?
Build an "A" frame to hoist the mast.
Re: how to drop a mast on a soling?
The advice I gave for lowering a mast only applies to the soling. The mast of a soling is relatively light, about 55 to 70 pounds at the most. The person on the back deck of the soling with arms outstretched comes into contact with the mast at about 12 feet up from the base of the mast and by the time that person is at the back of the boat they are probably at no more than the mid-point of the mast. Some of the weight is being carried by the base of the mast resting against the deck and the back of the mast base extrusion. The rest of the weight is being held up somewhat by the person holding on to the main halyard at the front of the boat. The weight that person is carrying, as in vertical force in the upward direction is very minor because of the angle of the halyard to the mast.
Whereas, the leverage of the weight of the mast that is beyond the mid-point being held up by the person on the rear deck feels much heavier than its actual weight because the weight of the mast is leveraged because of the angle of the mast relative to the deck. It's a bit like holding the base of the fishing rod with a 30 pound fish on the end of the line. The fish actually feels heavier than it is. In fact, in the case of the soling mast, it is probably near the limit of what a strong, athletic person can handle.
This technique should not be used for even a moderately heavy mast. Even a 90 pound mast that stood 30 feet above the deck would be impossible to hold up. The leverage on the middle person would be too great likely leading to a catastrophic failure when the person holding the mast could no longer support the weight beyond the mid-point of the mast, plus the weight of the mast between that person's hands held over his head and where the base of the mast is positioned.
In short DO NOT TRY this MAST LOWERING TECHNIQUE with any heavier or longer mast. Someone could get seriously injured or killed.

Ascension, I have no idea how to lower your mast but from reading the replies this sounds like a bit a project. Please post pics!

s/v KIVALO
Re: how to drop a mast on a soling?
Supplies needed:
A tall 15 foot A-frame ladder with a very wide base should be placed on the stern's centre-line about seven feet behind the stern. Two people are required: one to go up the ladder and one to steady the base. Place the ladder behind the stern so that a person can comfortably stand on the ladder and receive the top section of the mast as it is lowered.
Next make sure that your boat is properly supported so that two people can safely walk on the deck, one all the way to the bow to release the forward stay while the other person steadies the mast.
Prior to this step, a long rope must be attached to the main sheet halyard. The bottom of the main sheet halyard should be tied off or put in a clutch so that it cannot be pulled out of the mast. The long rope should be fed out over the bow of the boat to a person who can stand on the ground along the boat's centre-line at least 40 feet in front of the boat. This is the person who will play the key role in lowering the mast. Then the person on the fore-deck near the bow can release the forestay shackle.
Leave the top and spreader shrouds connected to the deck. Make sure they are in the mid-position to help keep the mast centred once the mast lowering process begins.
After the forestay shackle has been released, the person returns to the forward cockpit and steps down into the cockpit, with the person still hold the back of the mast in place. The person who has just stepped down into the cockpit will be responsible for keep the back base of the mast held firmly in place so that it will continue to butt up against the back part of mast-base extrusion. This acts as the pivot point for lowering the mast.
With tension applied to the rope connected to the main sail halyard, the person who had been keeping the mast steady steps out of the cockpit and moves to stand in the centre of the aft deck just behind the cockpit. This person should be stradling the tiller, which should be firmly centred by some means to avoid a potential tripping hazard. The back deck person will be the first person to receive the mast as it is being lowered toward the back of the boat. The person on the ladder must act as a spotter for the person on the aft deck to insure that this person does not trip or fall off the rear of the boat. The person at the base of the mast must continually communicate that the base of the mast is secure and not in danger of sliding out of place suddenly. The person on the rear deck must also properly communicate with the person on the ground who is responsible for lowering the top of the mast.
The rule is proceed slowly. By the time the mast reaches the outstretched arms of the person on the back deck the weight of the mast becomes very heavy on that person as they will then walk back. It is critical for the person holding the rope at the front of the boat do his best to take as much of this weight as possible but as the mast goes back the further it goes back the less control that person has to take any of the weight.
By the time the person on the rear deck is at the stern the person on the ladder should be able to reach up and take some of the load. For this person it is critical that the person feel secure on the ladder. As the person takes some of the weight the person on the rear deck shifts to the side to let the mast drop down along the centre-line. By the time the mast reaches his waist the mast should be well supported by that person and the person on the ladder. As the mast is lowered to just above the deck the person in the cockpit will lift up the base of the mast and move it forward toward the front of the boat. Fenders should be ready at hand to support the weight of the mast and keep it off the deck. A fender pre-placed near the traveller track should be ready to accept the weight of the mast. After the mast is on the deck, the shrouds and rear stay can be disconnected.
If you are trailering the boat with the mast on the deck you will find that the mast will overhang the bow and stern by a few feet.
Already some good suggestions, but just a reminder:
The height of the lifting point needs only be somewhat above the center-of-gravity of your mast (not the top of the mast). You can attach a line to a strong point near the base of the mast, then through a collar (perhaps a loop of the lifting line) at a point just above the mast's center of gravity. No need to attach at the top of the mast.
Good luck.

I have been looking on the forums and there are a number of schools especially in Istanbul such as SDM and Berlitz that people say to not work for. Are there any schools in Turkey people do recommend working for?
Also, anyone know anything about New York Studio of Languages in Istanbul? I know when they were Berlitz they had a bad rep but has anyone had any experience with them recently?
And Teach to Travel is bad too? I am beginning to think there are no good schools in Turkey!

University of St. Thomas professor of vocal and choral studies, Dr. Brady Knapp, was invited to Washington, D.C., with Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church choir for a choral residency with the Washington National Cathedral. Knapp, along with six UST music students and alumni, sang during four church services from July 25-28. See the video of the choir's worship service.
The Washington National Cathedral, built more than 100 years ago, regularly hosts funerals and celebrations for national dignitaries. The Cathedral has its own choir during the year, but during summer breaks, it invites outside choirs to perform during worship services.
"You have to send a recording of the group to be selected," Knapp said. "This year, we were one of a handful of visiting choirs selected. We led music for Sunday morning worship services, and we sang Evensong services (sung evening prayer) for over 1,000 worshipers."
Knapp began working at Palmer Memorial 16 years ago during his doctoral studies at Rice University. Since his employment with UST in 2007, Knapp has connected UST music students with Palmer Memorial. The parish offers sacred music internship and scholarships for students interested in musical studies.
"This was a once-in-a-lifetime and enriching opportunity for my choristers and UST students to perform in the Cathedral," Knapp said. "I certainly appreciate all of the donors who sponsored our students, allowing them to experience this incredible tour."
Knapp was accompanied by 49 singers, including his two sons, Emerson and Theodore. Also from the UST community were students Bethany Goldson, Alexandra Summerour, Christian Mondragon, Marissa Sears, Meeka Opong and Adrienne Copeland, along with Sigurd Ogaard, new-appointed adjunct organ instructor and Alan Austin, adjunct violin instructor.
"Performing with Palmer was incredible," Copeland said. "We had been rehearsing for months and we were very well prepared. The entire experience was so surreal."
The group members also toured the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception during their visit.
"I am so grateful for the opportunity, and I consider it a real honor to lead a group at the National Cathedral," Knapp said. "It was a fantastic tour."
Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church is a diverse and urban parish located across the street from Rice University, known for serving meals to homeless daily. The choirs of Palmer have made four international tours to the United Kingdom, several domestic tours, four compact discs and have been featured on National Public Radio's show 'With Heart and Voice' on several occasions during Knapp's tenure.

[...] the two most common methods to reduce the reaction to a bee sting are 1) to scrape the sting out, so that additional venom isn't squeezed out of the venom sack by a pinching action and 2) to remove the sting ASAP to reduce the time that venom is being pumped out of the sack into the person. These two methods are somewhat incompatible: [...]
Respectfully disagree - they can be one and the same. I always (well ... nearly always) carry a blunt table knife with me when working with bees. Pick up the knife, a quick wipe over the sting, and 'tis done - what could be quicker or easier ?
1st, cuss. the more colorful and the longer the string, the better. 2nd, hop up and down. 1 & 2 can be done together. 3. strip any piece of clothing that has trapped the bee against your skin. yes, the damage is done, but you'll get a psychological boost if you strip and slap the dying bee. sometimes you can do all 3 at the same time, but use care if you are removing pants, hopping up and down, and cussing. very often you end up in a heap on the ground and risk further damage, not to mention humiliation. if you find that you are in an area with many bees flying around, do 1 & 2 as you are running for your life....before you do 3. stripping and exposing more skin to angry bees if not advisable.oh, removing the stinger...whatever...who cares by now?? if you did a good enough job with the slapping, you'll have to wait for the thing to fester out anyway.
kathy do you really think i should take off more clothes
Oh Happy New Year, Kathy - that's just what I needed ... still wiping away the tears ...
QuoteKathy do you really think i should take off more clothesyou can take off all the clothes you want! ;) you get a bee up my jeans and you'll see that post above come to life. :evil:
Kathy do you really think i should take off more clothes
I post this with a bit of trepidation since I can not find the article, but I seem to recall reading in either BC or ABJ that squeezing the poison sack does not inject more venom as they found that there is a valve of sorts between the sack and the stinger. Anyone else remember reading this or am I getting senile? In any case I just scrape them out with my finger nail.
There is no reason scraping should take longer unless you chew your fingernails...

The Ancient Forests of North America are extremely diverse. They include the boreal forest belt stretching between Newfoundland and Alaska, the coastal temperate rainforest of Alaska and Western Canada, and the myriad of residual pockets of temperate forest surviving in more remote regions.
Together, these forests store huge amounts of carbon, helping tostabilise climate change. They also provide a refuge for large mammalssuch as the grizzly bear, puma and grey wolf, which once ranged widelyacross the continent.
In Canada it is estimated that ancient forest provides habitat forabout two-thirds of the country's 140,000 species of plants, animalsand microorganisms. Many of these species are yet to be studied byscience.
The Ancient Forests of North America also provide livelihoods forthousands of indigenous people, such as the Eyak and Chugach people ofSouthcentral Alaska, and the Hupa and Yurok of Northern California.
Of Canada's one million indigenous people (First Nation, Inuit andMétis), almost 80 percent live in reserves and communities in boreal ortemperate forests, where historically the forest provided their foodand shelter, and shaped their way of life.

As a young child, Elvia Valdez accompanied her mother daily to her second job cleaning offices. Her parents never attended college, and her dad had a sixth-grade education, but she didn't let that stop her from dreaming.
"I knew that as I sparkled the desks of some of the most prominent business leaders and as I vacuumed the tightly fitted carpet and dusted the frames of their college degrees, I, too, had a God-given ability to shine more than just a desk," Valdez said.
Valdez dreamed of becoming a reporter and to work in the field of communication. But she knew that she couldn't do it without an education.
She earned a bachelor's in communication from the University of St. Thomas in 2007, and on May 18, Valdez will earn her second degree from St. Thomas, a Master of Education in Dual Language, and join 350 undergraduates and 793 graduates at the University's 63rd Commencement Ceremony at Reliant Stadium.
"Growing up, I thought I was going to be the next Barbara Walters," she said. But it wasn't the anchor's notoriety that Valdez was after.
"I don't admire celebrities," she said. "I admire people with an education."
Valdez had the chance to work in TV, doing production at Univision. As a spokesperson for Life Gift, which assists people with organ donation in Texas, she produced spots for Nickelodeon and broadcast news magazines. She currently works for the Harris County Sheriff's Office as the Community Engagement and Special Projects Manager.
"I've been blessed to have a career that has allowed me to speak for other people," she said. "That's what TV and journalism does: it gives a platform for telling people's stories, and it can be so powerful."
Valdez said education is one of the most powerful things we can have, but growing up, she didn't know if college would be a possibility for her.
"My mom made less than $10,000 a year," Valdez said. "I was getting in trouble at school. I was labeled 'at-risk.'"
Valdez said she did everything backwards. Fortunate to get an internship during high school at an oil and gas company, she got experience working as a professional. She enrolled in classes at San Jacinto Community College at age 22 and earned an associate's degree at 25, while working.
As a first generation student, navigating the college process was overwhelming, as she was on her own. "It was like dropping a kid off in Times Square," she said. "My parents didn't know anything about college."
After getting lost on other larger Houston campuses, Valdez chose St. Thomas for her bachelor's degree because of the small class sizes.
"I was able to stand out in a class of 10-12 students," she said. "You pay for what you get, and you can't put a price tag on education."
Valdez said she found role models at St. Thomas, Hispanic faculty members like Dr. Ginny Torres-Rimbau, professor of education, and Dr. Emiliano Gonzalez, associate dean of graduate education, who she could look up to, as well as friends who related to her experiences. She encourages other first-generation students to do the same.
"The biggest thing that helped me is that I found people who look like me – not skin color – but people who have the same story," she said. "Find people who are first generation or other students that have to work. Build that support group."
The University of St. Thomas is a Hispanic Serving Institution, and among the total graduates this May, about 28 percent are Hispanic or Latino. And by making college affordable through generous scholarships and financial aid, many of the graduating undergraduates, about 26 percent, are first-generation students.
With an interest in studying the multi-cultural population, and a passion for education, Valdez returned to St. Thomas to pursue a Master of Education in dual language. Her thesis this semester was personal – she studied the attitudes and social factors that affect higher education for first generation students.
Now as a mother to a three-year-old, Valdez makes sure her son knows the possibility of a college education with a room decorated with college memorabilia, including a UST pennant.
Whenever she has the opportunity, Valdez speaks to first generation students to talk about education. After graduation, Valdez plans to return to school.
"I want a doctorate in education because I believe wholeheartedly that an education empowers people to be better," Valdez said. "In the future, I hope to write a book, help first generation students, travel the world and tell my story. The sky is the limit."

text: A friend of mine is getting married this summer on a holiday weekend in a place that's not terribly easy to get to and also happens to have a huge event going on that same weekend. Airfares are expensive, and hotels are scarce and ridiculously overpriced. Plus, I have some serious family stuff going on that makes travel risky and unpredictable. While I would love to go to this wedding of two people I genuinely adore, I'm not sure I see the wisdom of spending $1,000 - $1,500 to do so, especially when there's at least a 25% chance I'd have to cancel the plans. Both the bride and groom are in societally important but not especially well-paying jobs. They can barely afford the wedding and don't have enough money to go on a honeymoon. You can see where this is going.... Instead of spending $1,000+ to go to this wedding, I would like to write them a check for $1,000 and tell them to put it toward a honeymoon. Would this be terribly rude? Is it too ostentatious? I know it's a big gift for a wedding, but it's what I would've spent anyway just to get there. Opinions/advice appreciated. Friend knows about the family stuff and wrote a nice personal note with the invitation that they completely understand if I can't make the wedding due to what's going on.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Are Arts Relevant in a 21st Century World? Frontline with Faculty Series.
In a world increasingly dominated by social media and technology driven culture, are our nation's existing arts and cultural organizations still relevant? Is art and culture a public good—and if it is—why do we uniquely fund it as a private good? In this session, Jim, Carol and Dennis will share the latest research around these issues and the linkages between capitalization, demography and participation and what the future holds for the arts. The session will also outline the Hauser Center's most ambitious arts initiative since its inception, The Initiative for Sustainable Arts in America. http://hausercenter.harvard.edu/?p=2007

I've just about had it with the way trash piles up from the groceries we buy. Toledo has a recycling program so at least we don't have throw all the cardboard into the trash, we can recycle it instead. But I'd much rather not have to deal with it at all. So I started researching ways to buy in bulk and found Earth 911; it's a site that shows you how to generate less waste in general.
When I was there Everything You Need to Know About Buying in Bulk was a featured article on the main page, along with kitchen gadgets that actually reduce waste, energy saving tips and more.
Navigation is easy! There are featured articles on the main page as well as Recent News, the Spotlight section, Polls, Popular Articles, and Slideshows. At the top of the page you'll find navigation strip with the categories: Automotive, Batteries, Construction, Electronics, Garbage, Glass, Hazardous, Household, Metal, Paint, Paper, and Plastic. These sections help you figure out how to cut down on waste, how to recycle the items, or how to dispose of them safely.
This is a great site to help you find ways to cut down on waste. I was very grateful for the section on electronics because I have a ton of old computer parts I want to recycle and now I can find a center near me to do so.
Check this one out today!

|Loaded Firearm and Ammunition (ABQ)
Camping Stove Fuel – A camping stove fuel bottle with fuel inside was discovered in a passenger's carry-on bag at San Francisco (SFO). The passenger was returning from a camping trip and forgot the fuel was in his bag. If you missed my post on travel tips for campers and fishers, you can check it out here.
|Camping Stove Fuel Bottle (SFO)
|Plethora of Pointy Things (OAK)
Plethora of Pointy Things – One passenger at Oakland (OAK) had the following in his carry-on bag: two swords, an 11-inch hunting knife, a six-inch throwing knife, two throwing stars, a grappling hook, a credit card knife, a straight razor, and two pocketknives.
|PVC Pipe & Printer (ATL)
PVC Pipe – I've heard that people are using PVC pipes to help protect items from getting damaged while they travel. While it is a great low-cost way to protect fragile items, it can cause problems at the checkpoint or in checked baggage screening areas and even delays. PVC pipe (or any kind of pipe) with end caps can resemble a pipe bomb when viewed on the X-ray monitor, especially when there are electronic or other items stuffed inside of it. This is a picture of a PVC pipe with end caps used to protect a portable printer discovered in Atlanta (ATL).
Inert Ordnance and Grenades etc. - We continue to find inert hand grenades and other weaponry on weekly basis. Please keep in mind that if an item looks like a realistic bomb, grenade, mine, etc., it is prohibited - real or not. When these items are found at a checkpoint or in checked baggage, they can cause significant delays in checkpoint screening. I know they are cool novelty items, but you cannot bring them on a plane. Read here and here on why inert items cause problems.
- Six inert/replica/novelty grenades were discovered across the nation this week. Four were found in checked baggage at Gulfport (GPT), Honolulu (HNL), and Syracuse (SYR), and two were discovered in carry-on bags at Tampa (TPA) and Salt Lake City (SLC).
|Grenades Discovered at (L-R) GPT, HNL, SLC, SYR, TPA
|Stun Guns Discvoered at (L-R) ATL, OMA, SFO
- A double-edged 10-inch carving knife was detected under the lining and the handle of a carry-on bag at Albuquerque (ABQ).
- A belt buckle knife was discovered at Los Angeles (LAX).
- A knife was discovered in a carry-on bag at Bradley (BDL) wrapped in paper and concealed in a thermos.
|Knives Discovered at (L-R) MEM, STL, DEN, DTW, JFK, LAX, ABQ
Firearms Discovered This Week in Carry-On Bags
|Discovered at (L-R) DAL, FLL, CRW, ATL, RSW, TYS, ATL, PDX
|Discovered at (L-R) CHS, FLO, GTF, DAB, MCO, VPS
|Discovered at (Top to Bottom) MSY, TPA
Unfortunately these sorts of occurrences are all too frequent which is why we talk about these finds. Sure, it's great to share the things that our officers are finding, but at the same time, each time we find a dangerous item, the throughput is slowed down and a passenger that likely had no ill intent ends up with a citation or in some cases is even arrested. The passenger can face a penalty as high as $7,500.00. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions, that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items.

Auto show, foliage lure multitasking visitors
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader | October 19. 2013 9:11PM
Phil Hughes of Auburn isn't old enough for a driver's license, but that didn't stop him from sitting behind the wheel of a Mercedes at the New Hampshire Auto Show in Bedford. (MICHAEL COUSINEAU)
"I wanted to see a car show. My wife wanted to see fall colors," Jim Kennedy said Saturday at the New Hampshire Auto Show at the N.H. Sportsplex.
"We can't believe these are all natural here," said Mrs. Kennedy, who hails from Fair Oaks, Calif.People from any state can check out 150 car, SUV and truck models today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $5 for ages 7 and up. The New Hampshire Union Leader is a sponsor.
"I can watch my TV while he drives me around," she said from the car's backseat, which has two television screens. The car offers heated massaging seats and the ability to disperse four scents with names that included "Nightlife Mood" and "Downtown Mood."
For someone still months away from getting his driver's license, Phil Hughes, 15, of Auburn, spent a few moments sitting in the driver's seat of a red Mercedes convertible that originally listed for about $226,000, but was marked down to around $170,000 used.

P.L.A.Y. Auctions Celebrity Signature Pet Beds to Help Animals in Need [1]Date:
At the recent MTV Movie Awards Style Lounge, P.L.A.Y. (Pet Lifestyle And You) presented celebrities with their award-winning line of pet beds and in return asked for help raising money for animals in need. Over 100 stars from today's biggest TV shows (including Glee, True Blood, and The Office) and movies (Twilight, I Am Number Four and The Proposal) autographed one of two beds from P.L.A.Y.'s Artist Collection. The sassy Heels and Boots bed features signatures from 27 Dresses star, Malin Akerman and Whitney Port from The City; while the classic Footprints bed boasts autographs from America's Best Dance Crew and Extra host, Mario Lopez, along with Jackass, Steve O.
Founded and based in San Francisco, P.L.A.Y. is proud that their hometown is considered one of the safest in the nation for homeless dogs and cats - and they want to help keep it that way. That's why they are auctioning off both beds and donating 100 percent of the proceeds to the SF SPCA. "When we got the opportunity to mingle with celebs AND help animals in need, we couldn't resist," says P.L.A.Y. founder Will Chen.
To view both auctions, bidders can visit www.PetPLAY.com [2], eBay [3] or www.sfspca.org/auction [4] from July 13th through July 23rd. The highest bidder will walk away with a one- of-a-kind pet bed that will surely have their pup dreaming of Hollywoof!
About P.L.A.Y. P.L.A.Y. (Pet Lifestyle And You) is a young San Francisco-based company with a dream to redefine the pet bed experience. Unable to find the perfect bed for his picky pug Momo, founder Will Chen set on a mission to create beds that are not only comfy for pets, but also stylish for their owners AND better for our planet. Partnering with dog-lover and local artist, David Collins, Will created exclusive, eco-friendly pet beds and designed the Artist and Original Collections for 2011. To view P.L.A.Y.'s complete line of products, visit www.PetPLAY.com [2].
