Re: 2012 Sailing Season
Haleakula is all covered with her winter canvas as of today. Systems all winterized. Oil changed, Cushions all home for Donna to work on the new material over the winter.
2012 was a good year for us as we had our first sail early around March 30. Replaced the prop shaft and put a new dripless shaft on this year. Got struck by lightning to the tune of $12,000 (insurance paid for it all) and have all new electronics because of it.
We sailed 35 weekends with 4 four day trips and took our longest vacation ever to the LI Sound and New England for 25 days. We covered approx 3500 miles this year, one of our all time highs. Drank 7 cases of Pinot Noir. Changed the oil 6 times. Went through five
10 lb propane tanks ( we love to grill) and met up with many old friends and made some new ones.
Haleakula is our life for 9 months out of the year in a way, but the three months coming up is a good time to reflect, plan for next year, get house projects completed ( that stops in sailing season unless there is an emergency) and visit our land only friends.
Was a great year and hoping 2013 is equally as good and we meet more people and see our old friends.
Re: 2012 Sailing Season
Today was our last sail. Started out in some fog using ourRadar and Raymarine AIS and a new IPAD realtime AIS ap I am trying called Boat Beacon. Ran them both concurrently to test the beacon which worked well.
Winds were light at 5-8 and we managed 4 knots on jib alone for the day as it was to be the endo of the season realazing sail. Sun came out at 12...was just a gorgeous day out.
Managed to encounter a 20 ft boat with two fishing lines who wouldnt move and he got indignant when he forced me to cut behind him.
The whole bay....no boats...and one idiot... Told me I ran him down.....I said at 4 knots I could basically only sneak up on him if he wasnt paying attention, which he wasnt.
Anyone season is over for us. Winterization next Saturday. Sails come home for Donna to inspect and restitch degraded threads over the winter on the sailrite machine.
Last day of the season is always sad. Found myself thanking Haleakula for the great year...the trip to New England and Long Island and keeping us safe.
Re: 2012 Sailing Season
Great pictures Dave! The sunsets this time of year are amazing.
We'd definitely be interested in buddy boating with you and Donna up to NE this summer. Sharon's summer should be a lot less hectic. Let's talk more about it at the brunch next week.
I'm still trying to get hauled out. My marina has so many boats coming out this year they ran out of stands! Don't know if that's a sign of the economy, if we have people coming down from NY/NJ who lost their marinas, or some combination.
Re: 2012 Sailing Season
Ha..I will let my wife know as she takes care of that.
Its a 2 year old Quantum Main and its still finding its memeory creases. The EZ Jacks we have are so much better than the old lazy jacks and it helps, but Donna is meticulous
The sunset was unreal. Evemn the next fay the mist on the water and the autmn leaves were surreal.
Re: 2012 Sailing Season
I don't know what's more impressive… The sunset or how well that sail is flaked.
Re: 2012 Sailing Season
Here are some pictures from our last anchor out of the season at Cacaway Island on Lanford Creek, Chester River
( we still will day sail this weekend hopefully and then winterize).
We have made this a tradition in late October to come here and anchor for the annual geese circus. Thousands of geese from Canada use this creek and ajoining farm fields to
winter and hang out in ice free water. The circus usually begins 1/2 hopur before sunset when the geese swoop in in waves of 15 or so and land in unison......not. They sually are landing right next to the boat and you can see their struggles. Some bounce off the boat...some wipe out the whole line landing. Last year one hit the mast and landed with a thud on the deck dazed. he/ she eventually fell overboard, but the squaking was unreal. The waves of geese continue till an hour after sunset, when its very quiet.
Re: 2012 Sailing Season
Check out mid-August. We will be heading to the LI Sound for 2+ weeks this year and end on Labor Day. OUur plans are to do the Sound, Shelter Island raea ( Greenport, Montauk, Sag Harbor) Stonington and Mystic areas. Coastal hopping and Port Jefferson or Port Washington ( never been) this year
Wed love your company some or all of this.
Re: 2012 Sailing Season
Our season is officially over. I went for a daysail on Thanksgiving morning and winterized the fresh water system. Sharon and I went down yesterday to strip and fold the sails. The boat comes out of the water sometime this week.
My thoughts are already turning to winter projects and next season.
Winter/spring projects for me are making a new bimini on a borrowed Sailrite machine, refinishing the cockpit and interior dining tables, bottom painting/hull waxing, and deciding to repair or replace the dinghy motor that broke down again. I'm also going to help build a wooden boat on Saturday weekends at CBMM since boatbuilding is something I've always wanted to learn more about.
Next season we're really committed to doing a cruise of 10 days to two weeks on our boat.
Re: 2012 Sailing Season
Sound great wily. Next weekend looks like it may be our last chance before we take the sails and canvas off and start taking the cushions home. The following weekend would be the winterizing as well as canvas cover. She will be satying in the water again this year.
Re: 2012 Sailing Season
Got out on Friday for a few hours of sailing on the Severn - the wind, when it filled in, was around 10 knots, I guess. It felt a bit chilly when the clouds moved across the sun, but I'm sure come March this same temperature (50s) will feel quite warm.

Dartmouth College SuperDARN Group
Space Plasma Remote Sensing using Ground-based HF Radars
With the help of Dartmouth College students, students and colleagues from three other institutions, Thayer School professor Simon Shepherd constructed a pair of high-frequency backscatter radars in the desert of central Oregon over the Summer and Fall of 2010. These radars are funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and are part of an internationally funded global network of radars known as the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN). There are more than 27 SuperDARN radars currently operating in the northern and southern hemispheres (maps).
During normal operation, pulses of radio waves are transmitted in a beam directed forward of the antenna arrays. The radio signal travels up into the Earth's ionosphere and is partially reflected by irregularities in the plasma that makes up the ionosphere. The reflected (backscattered) signal travels back to the radar where the Doppler shift in the signal is measured. Using the same principle as that used by weather radar to detect motions of the atmosphere, a SuperDARN radar can measure the speed at which plasma is moving. By combing observations from all of the radars in the network, a comprehensive view of the plasma motion in the polar ionospheres can be measured and used in studies of the electromagnetic coupling between the solar wind the Earth's magnetosphere. (more information about SuperDARN radars)

What NSX Production Models Are There?
NSX Coupe, 1991-Present
NSX Type-R, 1993-1995
|Available only in Japan, the NSX-R is essentially a stripped down NSX with a stiffer suspension for track use. Weight is 265lbs less than a regular NSX coupe and the ride is stiff enough that most people consider it stiffer than you would want for the street even though Honda said it was to be a compromise between street and track. Sold for 9.8 million yen. [Type_R|click here for details]
NSX Type-S and Type-S Zero, 1997-Present
| Type-S: Japan Only. Luxury/Sporty model; a more refined Type-R. Titanium Shift Knob (like Formula-1), MOMO steering wheel, BBS lightweight aluminum wheels, Recaro full bucket seat, mesh design engine cover (like Type-R), same colored roof as body, 45kg lighter than regular model, harder suspension. click here for details
Type-S Zero: Japan Only. Racing prepped car. No air conditioning or audio wiring. Harder suspension than normal but softer than the Type-R. Carbon-fiber Recaro seats. Another 50kg lighter than the Type-S. click here for details
Alex Zanardi Signature Edition, 1999
|A limited edition of 50 Zanardi NSXs, basically a variant of the Japanese Type-S, was introduced for 1999 exclusively for the US market. They are to be allocated to dealerships based on the dealer's history of NSX sales over the last three years; some dealers will not receive any. The Zanardi is about 54 lbs lighter than a '97 coupe with power steering - the 149 lb weight reduction in the press material is vs. a -T which is about 95 lbs heavier than a coupe. This makes it heavier than either a Type S (99 lbs. lighter than a '97 coupe with power steering) and far heavier than a Type-S Zero which is over 211 lbs. lighter than a '97 coupe with power steering. click here for details
NSX Type-R 2 Prototype
|NOTE: This is not a second generation NSX Type-R, rather Honda's second Type-R for the first generation NSX. However, almost everything that differentiated the original NSX-R from the standard NSX has changed with this new version, so it seems appropriate to class it as a separate NSX model. As with the original NSX-R, it is unlikely many of these changes will ever make it to the US, though the headlights will probably be here soon. NOTE: At this point Honda is still referring to the car as a prototype. click here for details
2002 NSX Cosmetic Redesign
|Based on a toned down version of the new NSX Type-R prototype listed above, the NSX received the first real cosmetic redesign since its introduction over a decade ago. The new design carries the new nose, fixed-position headlights, tail, exhaust and wheels from the new -R prototype but loses the boy-racer carbon fiber hood and wing in favor of the traditional look for both those parts. This redesign applies to all production models of the NSX (coupe, -T, and Type-S). click here for details
What Are The Same-Model Differences Between Countries?
US vs. Japan
The car can be highly customized "from the factory" in Japan. Many more colors (interior and exterior) are available, as well as more options (such as built-in navigation systems). There are also some cosmetic differences such as the placement of side marker lights and the color of some light covers.
Obviously, the Japanese cars are also right-hand drive while US cars are left-hand drive.
The Japanese car market goes by calendar year, not "model" year as in the US. So in Japan the first year for the car was 1990, while in the US the NSXs sold in 1990 were considered model year 1991.
US vs. Canada
[GM] US and CDN version both have metric and English markings on the speedometer. The US versions have English markings in bold white with metric in a smaller darker font, the CDN versions are reversed. DRL's are standard on CDN cars as noted. 1991 Canadian cars also came with a special bolt for securing a child safety seat in the passenger's seat and a leather case for the owner's handbook and dealer information.
Regarding warranty coverage you are on your own. I'd patronize one dealer and try and strike up a good relationship so if something goes wrong you have a history of doing business with them before you ask for a favour. Dealers I've used in OH and GA have been very kind but they are under no obligation to honor the Acura Canada warranty.
It's incorrect to think a Canadian car is a cause of trouble. The NSX is emissions certified for all 50 states including Canada. When I brought mine into this country there was no need for re-certification or testing. All Hondas have the speedometer calibrated in both metric and imperial units. And while the odometer is metric only I don't agree that you must think about this as 1.6 times the miles. The mileage is the same! Or is a temperature of 68F different from one of 20C?
One reason for buying a Canadian car is the uniqueness of it. No need for go-fast parts when you have a speedo that goes to 300!! Many folks like the daytime running lights which mimic the look of the car as it is sold in Japan. One concern might be the climate control which reads out in Centigrade and there is no way to change this back to Fahrenheit without purchasing a new head unit for the system.
[KS] The US cars include the tether attachment point for a child restraint system which uses a top tether. The tether bracket and bolt are AVAILABLE from the dealer, presumably at extra charge. (The tether attachment point is located on the panel behind the passenger's seat back.) Apparently, with the Canadian cars, the bolt comes with the car. I don't know about the bracket but I would expect that that would be included as well.
US vs. Europe
- The Euro NSX's have a more complete trunk tool kit than the US cars.
- The center console in the euro cars is black - it does not have the metallic look (painted) surface that the US models get.
- Euro cars have extra options like headlight washers and fog lights.
- Euro cars still have the original oval exhaust tips
- Euro cars have different side market lights (smaller and behind the wheel well)
- Euro cars have a rear fog light located at where one of our reverse lights belong
- Euro cars tail lights does like luminate two bults on each side, but only the outter ones


text: Alright So Jodokast89 came to me with a very fun and not your everyday Fett paint up like I am used to doing. In fact he came to me with the opportunity to do something new and different and I thank him for that!!!! What was headed my way was a GMH with the dent filled in!!! I know some may say why do that but then I say why not!! This lid was shipped to me from FettPride with just the dent filled in all of the other GMH details were left in. After discussing some things with Jodokast89 we came to a consensus to leave in some of the GMH details while filling in some others. For his Jodo he wanted it to based off the Twin Engines of Destruction comic, so with that I have been working with those images to try and replicate some of the damage seen as well as add in some of my own. Below are a couple of pictures of where it started and where I am now. I will be working on this some more this week and hope to have the mandibles and trim wrapped up by the weekend. I also Hope to have some better pics up by then too.

FS: Perfect Condition! 2012 Ride DH 2.6 160cm $200
Up for sale is a 2012 Ride DH 2.6 in a 160cm.
This is an awesome board for anyone who wants to charge everything on the mountain. I have ridden this board twice and let me tell you that it is a perfect all around snowboard for everything all mountain riding as well as jumps and rails.
This board is equipped with Ride's hybrid twin rocker camber combo, it has a small amount of camber between the bindings and then flat zones under the feet and out to a little before the contact points then it has a small amount of rocker out to the tips. This makes for a board that holds an edge very well but is also fun and playful because of the rocker in the tip and tail. The flat zones are basically sweet spots for pressing/butters and ollieing especially with the carbon fiber rods in the tip and tail but not in the middle so you still have a softer flex between the bindings. Also it is equipped with urethane sidewalls and a extra thick edge which makes for incredible durability.
The graphics for this board were done by Mike Aho who also did much of the artwork for Volcom as well as a number of other brands. This is a limited edition and is the second to last of the DH 2.x series, so not a ton of these were made compared to the rest of the Ride snowboard line, so rest assured you will be the only one you see on the hill with one of these. The 160cm is the "Look no hands" graphic.
When the season ended i gave the board a full tune up, not that it needed it, and a summer hot-wax. So when the season comes just scrape the wax off and its good to go.
If you want to know more about this snowboard check it out on Ride's website, DH2.6 Snowboard | Park & Pipe | Ride Snowboards 2012-2013
This board retails for $520, ridden twice i would like $200 shipped
Pictures can be seen on easy loungin where I first listed it

Make KDE feel like home for the Firefox
Yes, pretty much anybody using KDE probably agrees that Firefox sticks out inside the K desktop like a drop of milk on black coffee. It is a superb browser and the quick development pace Mozilla has adopted is only making it better in a much faster fashion, but looks are also very important, aren't they? How about making Firefox look like a native KDE app? Check out the screenshot below! Click on image to enlarge. Alright, if you want to achieve the same results, it is actually quite simple. The screenshot above shows Firefox 7 using Oxygen KDE 3.5.1, which you can download from HERE. Once the

From the warm undertones of a copper pendant to a patterned textile's vivacious colorways, this week's collection of products demonstrates that a single gesture can add a spark of life to any interior. A cloud made for the indoors? We want to float away.
Profile, 3form
Wall planes become three-dimensional with Profile, a modular surface system from 3form. The system of 4'-by-8' panels or 4"-by-15-1/2" tiles has four geometrical contours and 18 finishes to choose from. They can also be painted on site. The panels can be edge-matched horizontally and vertically, while the tiles can be integrated with the company's Chroma tiles. 3-form.com
Ceiling Clouds, Seeyond Architectural Solutions
These decorative ceiling clouds by Seeyond Architectural Solutions were designed with its proprietary specification tool Tess, which coordinates the clouds' design, manufacturing, and installation processes. Made with a strong cellular resin that weighs 1 pound per square foot, the clouds are installed in modules and use hidden hardware. seeyond.com
Pixels Wall Mounted Panels, USG Corp.
Why constrain artwork to a rectangle or square? Pixels Wall Mounted Panels from USG Corp. allow designers to create custom-size murals in modular shapes using photographs, brand logos, or simple geometries. Backlight the panels with LED light for a glowing effect. Pixels uses USG's Celebration Panels, which contain up to 90% recycled aluminum, and its Donn Fineline Suspension System. usg.com
Orient Pendant, Lightyears
Part of the Danish design boom of the 1960s, this pendant from Lightyears was originally created for Fog & Morup 50 years ago. Consisting of a copper body and a rosewood top, the fixture is crowned with 24 slits for light permeation. The 370mm-tall pendant comes in diameters of 225mm and 340mm. Both use a 75W E27 lamp and will be available this August. lightyears.dk
Alejandro Cardenas collection, KnollTextiles
Newcomer Brooklyn-based textile and eyewear designer Alejandro Cardenas drew from a wide range of sources for his collection of three upholstery designs for KnollTextiles. Glider is intended to recreate the sensation of gliding over a landscape, while Soon is a nod to a song by one of Cardenas' favorite bands, My Bloody Valentine. Finally, Biscayne (shown) was inspired by the tropical vegetation of Key Biscayne, Fla. Soon is digitally printed on cotton sateen and comes in four colorways. Glider and Biscayne, which are made with a blend of cotton, polyester, and nylon, are woven stateside and come in eight colorways. knolltextiles.com
Virtue, Crossville
Marble is beautiful, but it can be fragile and prone to staining. Virtue, a porcelain tile from Crossville, serves as an alternative, blending the look of well-known marbles Carrara, Calacatta, and Statuario. The porcelain tile comes in unpolished and satin finishes, and in modular field sizes from 3"-by-6" to 24" square, and two mosaic sizes: 2" and 3" square. Trim options include chair rail, crown molding, base molding, single bullnose, cove base, and inside and outside corners. crossvilleinc.com

Tablet PCs have traditionally been a niche concern. With a few notable exceptions, like the HP Pavilion tx2050ea, they're made exclusively with business users in mind and particularly those who, in marketing parlance, work in "vertical environments" - otherwise known as people who stand up a lot! This could be a supervisor in a factory, warehouse or shipping depot, an architect on a building site or an executive moving from meeting to meeting, but whoever it might be, the needs and usage are very specific, often requiring bespoke software to get the job done. And, when it comes to Tablet PCs, Lenovo and the ThinkPad brand is oftentimes an obvious port of call.
Today we're looking at the ThinkPad X200t which is, believe it or not, the first widescreen Tablet PC ever to don the ThinkPad name. Based on a 12.1in, 1,280 x 800 resolution display it bears all the hallmarks of the ThinkPad brand: it's black, it's adorned in soft-touch plastic and it's built like a Roman road.
Indeed, outside of genuinely ruggedized notebooks, such as the ToughBooks from Panasonic, it's hard to think of a notebook brand that's as reassuringly rugged as a ThinkPad. Its magnesium alloy chassis and high quality plastics ensures every element of the machine is reassuringly sturdy and robust, while the 360 degree hinge for the screen has a smooth but secure action.
Nowhere is this quality more apparent, though, than in the keyboard. Though the X200t will obviously live or die on the quality of its tablet functionality, if being used as a conventional notebook its keyboard will serve it well. Keys have that firm and positive feel that defines the ThinkPad brand, setting the standard to which all other notebook keyboards are judged. There are desktop keyboards that can't even approach the level of comfort and feedback on offer here.
This is matched to a near flawless layout, the only blemish being the Fn key sitting outside the Ctrl key - an old tradition among ThinkPads. This keyboard is also spill-proof, so can deal with the occasional accident and won't be phased by the occasional spot of English rain or even snow, as has been the case recently.
One thing you will note, though, is the lack of a touchpad. This, in truth, seems an odd omission, but there still remains the traditional ThinkPad TrackPoint and accompanying buttons. These are hinged to provide the ideal tactile feedback, while the button in the middle enables you to scroll documents using the TrackPoint. As for the TrackPoint itself, it's ergonomically sized and more than accurate enough for regular use on the move, though most will probably want to use a mouse when deskbound.
Is this good enough to replace a Wacom tablet plus computer setup?
Hey TR, any chance of reviewing the non tablet versions/version of this PC?
@shakey: In a word, no.
In several, it wouldn't even come close in its dreams, since the pen doesn't offer 1024 pressure levels or tilt sensitivity, quite apart from all the other features dedicated tablets (of which Wacoms are still the undisputed kings) bring to the table.
I know this is a million years late but I've got one of these. Lenovo sold them as Multitouch which fooled many into buying them for Windows 7. In fact Lenovo's Multitouch means 'one finger or a stylus'. The Windows 7 Multitouch is known as Enhanced Multitouch by Lenovo. How disappointed was I!

Prude Wannabe
Posted by juliemomyer in Heart & Soul on April 14, 2012
My aspiration in life is to be transformed into a prude. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be one of those sour faced, crotchety old biddy types who shakes their heads, pooh-poohing everything as immoral…Isn't that what flashes through your mind when you think of the word, prude? That's what I used to imagine.
Being labeled a prude is hardly considered a compliment these days, but did you know that the word once meant, virtuous? And prudefemme meant a virtuous (worthy or respectable) woman? But then there were those who thought women could be a little too virtuous (probably some overly amorous males) and the definition was twisted to mean something negative.

A thick crowd stood silent, gazing up as each flag was raised, each creed was spoken and each statue was unveiled Sunday during the Hardin County Veterans Tribute dedication at the Elizabethtown Nature Park.
The bronze statues, sculpted by Elizabethtown artist Rich Griendling, represented each branch of the military with a flag from each branch flying overhead.
Griendling said it was an honor to be asked to be involved in the project, which took a lot of research and four years to complete.
He joked of the models for the service members he sculpted, "If you were 6-foot-4 and in good shape, you were in my crosshairs."
The nice thing was the people he asked for help always said yes, and the community rallied around the project, he said.
Maj. Gen. David Mann, commanding general of U.S. Army Recruiting Command, said a true testament to how much a community supports the military is how many veterans choose to retire there.
The number of veterans in Hardin County shows how comfortable service members feel and how welcoming their neighbors are to them and their families, he said.
"Today is a perfect example of this county embracing your Army, embracing all of the services out there," he said.
Elizabethtown Mayor Tim Walker said he grew up the son of a veteran in a community having an appreciation of Veterans Day he didn't fully understand.
He said he now knows the freedoms secured by veterans allowed him to grow up to run a business, become mayor and live free with his family and neighbors.
"As you look around you, you may see statues, but I see an Army soldier and a Navy sailor," he said. "I see the military who served in this area."
Elizabethtown and Hardin County are proud communities full of people who have served in the military, Walker said.
The nature park is meant to help citizens reflect upon their roots, and the military roots in the area are among the most important to remember, Walker said.
"This is a tribute to each of you," he said to military members. "This ground is built on your strength, and may God bless each and every one of you."
Veterans Tribute board member Rik Hawkins said it's important to recognize Americans who put their lives on the line for the ideas on which the country was founded.
"Each brick tells a story — the story of a soldier, yes, but the soldier of a family," he said.
Hawkins said he hopes children and those who visit the site decades from now will look at it and remember how important service members have been and how grateful the community is to them.
"This tribute is our way of saying 'thank you' for all that you have done for our county and for all that you have done for our country," he said.

Sailors, like astronauts, have to do things the right way. The use of the set screws is one the things you have to get right if you use the PSS SS. It's not rocket science -- you just have to read and follow the directions.
I appreciate your desire for robust gear, but that said: if you want to abuse the gear on your boat, go ahead. If you want to install it incorrectly, that's your call. If you want to use it to failure, be my guest. But I wouldn't be surprised if you were one day the victim of multiple, minor but progressive component failures that leads ultimately to catastrophy.
MaineSailor knows of what he speaks. The only thing I didn't see in his excellent post was the mention of use of Loctite thread locker on the second (outer) of the two lock screws. You shouldn't use it on the inner set screw because some of it might leak between the shaft and the collar making the collar very difficult to remove. That's another common mistake made by the inexperienced 18 year olds that work in boat yards (you know, the ones that flunked out of sub school). But, you'd know that, if you read the directions.
PS -- I spent a few years in the Navy, and IMO the 18 year old on a Navy submarine is a highly trained individual regardless of his rate.
PPS -- one of the things that I do to alert me to any movement of either the rubber compression collar and the SS ring-around-the-shaft is to make marks with a black magic market on the stern tube where the rubber compression collar meets the stern tube and where the SS ring-around-the-shaft meets the shaft. If either of these marks disappears then I know something is moving and needs attention. I have a look at these marks every day during my pre-start checks of the engine space.
Re: Dripless Shaft Seal versus Stuffing Box
I too have had that same discussion with Mr Gerry Douglas of Catalina and the sales manager of PSS about their dripless system. What Mr Douglas relayed to me was failure of the bellows due to overheating when there is no water in the shaft tube to cool down the bellow while the shaft is turning. This lack of water can come from a launch of vessel, air bubble getting into the shaft and creating a air lock or obstruction getting into the shaft log and not letting in water (think crap pot lines, fishing line, etc.). The sales manager confirmed this problem with me and demonstrated it at the Ft Lauderdale boat show last year.
There is a big difference between power boat vs sailboat applications due the difference in RPM's the shaft turns. The PSS dripless system likes higher RPM's vs slow RPM's of sailboat shafts. Furthermore, how some folks think that slow RPM's (1800-2200) on their diesels are good for it (another subject another thread) hence even slower rotation on the shaft. This is where the vent tube comes into play. Careful installation is required here as well as the set screws. If the tube blocks up in any way the bellows can overheat as well.
BTW I have the PSS system on my current boat. It has worked flawless in over 4 years. What I don't like and it makes me nervous is when I move the shaft out of alignment by hand or foot I get water out. I was told this is normal. Not so sure about that.
Re: Dripless Shaft Seal versus Stuffing Box
Regarding the lock-tite on the PSS set screws;
I installed my first PSS shaft seal last spring. ALL (6 - 2 spares) of the set screws had thread locking applied to the threads when I opened the box.
Re: Dripless Shaft Seal versus Stuffing Box
For all of you stuck on the traditional packing box. A couple of notes. When packing is continually tightened over time the shaft will be grooved at this point. I have witnessed broken shafts that feel out of boats because of this. It does cause a little more than a drip I promise. Also have seen many log hoses replaced with exhaust/ water hose and rusty clamps that just fall off. No matter witch systems you use always check your shaft log before leaving your vessel will go a long way to piece of mind. When ever you leave a boat always check bilges and listen for running water Then and only then can you continue to lose sleep over her for every reason.
Re: Dripless Shaft Seal versus Stuffing Box
Maine Sail...I tried "Like" your post several times but couldn't We have had a PSS Dripless for several years with no problems.
Some keys points MS and others have outlines for a proper install:
- use a shaft collar either from PSS or McMaster Carr
- only use your set screws once
- only use locktite on the second set screw, not the first
- follow the maintenance intervals
- read the install directions well

text: I like Rasheed wondered why the big lineup after Dallas went small. Is Flip capable of coaching in the big game? I try very hard not to question some of Flip's coaching decisions (I even had a problem with Flip keeping the starters in during a blowout in PHX). Some may say lets not get your panties in a bunch over one loss, its not the lost and right now the Pistons are playing excpetionally well, even with CB sitting on the bench. Unfortunately, during the playoffs, it is going to come down to coaching, the experience factor will kick in big time. Flips coacing ability will come uder a great deal of scurtiny not only by the media but by this great forum also. I would like to go on record by saying that; during the playoffs and we get into a hot contested tight game like the one we had on sunday, let the Captains run the show, call the plays on the floor. Flip's play calling becomes a curiosity at times, granted, I haven't had the opportunity to watch every game this season and only during those times where I have been blessed with watching them on NBC or TNT. But those few games I have been exposed to more than a few questionable plays.

By Jim Terry
While street-lighting seems like an easy target for cost savings, that's not necessarily so. To decide whether LED is right for your operation, consider:
Energy usage. Replacing a 100 W high-pressure sodium (HPS) light with a 60 W LED produces the same basic light levels. That's a 40% energy savings, but is it enough to justify switching?
Cost-benefit analysis. Here's a basic method for determining a lighting system's operating costs.
First, calculate the energy cost using the following formula:
Then add maintenance costs.
For example, HPS requires a lamp replacement every five years and a new photocell every 10 years. With an average 20-year fixture life, that's five service calls: one for installation, three for lamp changes, and one for the photocell change. For new installations, include the cost of one new fixture. Divide all that by 20 for an annual cost.
Do the same thing for LEDs.
Lamps shouldn't need changing during the life of the fixture; just plan to clean the fixtures and change the photocells every 10 years. That's two service calls: one for installation and one for maintenance. Don't forget to add in the fixture cost because it can be pricey. This process lets you estimate your annual savings.
If initial cost isn't a factor because you're getting, say, an energy rebate or stimulus grant, consider just service calls and energy savings.
Photometrics and color. Manufacturers use different types of optics to project light, but in general you can expect better distribution from an LED fixture than from existing streetlights. While photometric layout will show how existing lighting stacks up against proposed new lighting, photometric software can't measure the color of the light.
HPS produces amber-colored light, while LEDs tend to be cooler, with more of a pure white or bluish cast. Research suggests that the latter enhances peripheral vision, and that it appears brighter than amber. While public reaction supports this view, the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES) has yet to confirm this in its standards.
Compliance with accepted practices and standards. Manufacturer literature may refer to several types of lumens (see sidebar on page 36). Find out if the levels provided are given in mesopic lumens or actual lumens, a distinction that has greater ramifications than you'd think. If a municipal standard requires a certain footcandle level and the fixture cut sheet shows only mesopic lumens, for example, you may not be meeting your own lighting standards.
You want actual lumens. Ask the manufacturer how they measure the light, and ask for the nonmesopic photometry. If they can't provide this, it's a red flag.
Also important: When running a photometric calculation, make sure the .ies file was tested to IES LM-79-08 standards (it'll be noted in the text portion of the file). This refers to the accuracy of the testing and will ensure you get an accurate depiction of real-world, measurable light levels.
One word of warning: .ies files are mostly a jumble of numbers and are intended to be used with photometric calculation software. If you're unfamiliar with this type of software, check with a consultant or ask the manufacturer for assistance.
Electric utility practices. It feels good to be eco-friendly, but it feels even better when there's a financial reward. So make sure to explore the issue of tariffs if your streetlights aren't metered, which is the case more often than not.
Utilities establish a tariff rate to determine how much to bill based on the wattage and predicted maintenance costs of the light. Some utilities have a fixed tariff structure that starts at 100 or more watts, so they're going to bill for a 100 W fixture whether or not the fixture uses 100 W.
Tariffs are difficult and time-consuming to change, so it's crucial to know if your utility has a variable tariff for new technology that takes into account the lower energy usage and maintenance cost of LEDs.
— Terry (email@example.com)www.iesna.org).
Deciphering the jargon
The three levels of white light
Scotopic: no artificial light in a dark outdoor environment
Photopic: brightly lit environments, such as inside a building or outdoors during the day
Mesopic: in between; occurs when levels are very low, like in the typical street-lighting situation.

Josh Brolin Talk Paparazzi Shooting & Lindsay Lohan with BlackBook
With his new movie "Men In Black III" having just made its way into theaters, Usher upped his exposure by taking over the cover of the June/July 2012 issue of BlackBook magazine.
The 44-year-old actor rocked a Stetson man look for the Jenny Gage and Tom Betterton shot spread while talking about topics including "The Goonies, shooting at the paparazzi and troubled actress Lindsay Lohan.
Highlights from Mr Brolin's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to BlackBook!
On thievery, paying it forward and 'The Goonies':
"I was never a good thief when I was a kid, but I grew up with a lot of guys that did that kind of shit, and I stole a little, too. It was easy stuff: sneaking around back from the liquor store and stealing booze. When I got paid from doing The Goonies—which wasn't a lot of money but it was to me at the time—I went back to all the people and stores I stole from and handed them some cash. I went to that liquor store and paid back the clerk. He probably just pocketed it—it didn't matter. It was a redemptive thing because I always felt like it was going to bite me in the ass, and I wanted to try and minimize that as much as possible."
On shooting at paparazzi with shotguns:
"When Diane and I got married, a publicist said, 'I think there should be security for you guys.' My belief is that the more you use, the more you ask for an influx of unwanted people. So Diane and I were talking about it and I said, 'I really don't want to do that, but if it's a necessity, I will.' I couldn't picture guys talking into their sleeves at the ranch during the wedding. But I had another idea. I know a couple of cowboys that could get on horseback and walk the perimeter of the area of the ranch while we were getting married and look out for any unwanted people. They all had shotguns filled with salt shot. So I called the sheriff because I didn't want to do anything too illegal. I told him that in a couple of weeks I was going to get married. He said, 'Yeah, I know what you're doin'.' We had kept it so secret, so I don't know how he knew. I said, 'Oh, okay, good. So if any of these people come up and try and take pictures, how do you feel if Clint or Rick or those guys shoot at these people if they're on the property?' There was the longest pause I've ever experienced, and then he said, 'It's deer season. I don't give a shit what you do.'"
On Lindsay Lohan and negative attention:
"I don't know how Lindsay Lohan does it. If anything, she has the gift of some massive denial system or a foundation that's just unbreakable because it's just constant. Apparently she likes it. She keeps putting herself out there."

DxOMark review for the Samsung EX1, Canon Powershot G12, Nikon Coolpix P7000.Wednesday December 01 2010 Sensor Review
Comparing previous versions
When a new model is issued, the first question that arises is what kinds of improvements it brings. The answer is different for each of our three competitors.
For Samsung it's quite easy, as the EX1 is the first of its kind.
P7000: Nothing in common with the P6000
For Nikon, the P7000 is a big change from the P6000. With its 10 megapixels, the CCD sensor of the P7000 also sees its pixel pitch climbing to 2.1 µm instead of 1.8 µm for the P6000. This helps it achieve a better low-light ISO score, reaching 147 ISO for the P7000…. roughly 14% better than the P6000.
This new heart provides the P7000 with better image quality than the P6000. This evolution is noticeable in all the tested fields—SNR, dynamic range, tonal range and color sensitivity have all improved.
G12: More functions, few improvements in image quality
For Canon, things are a little bit more complicated. The G11 was already very good. For the G12, Canon focused more on adding new functions and on video than on improving image quality. In all tested fields, the metrics are almost the same. People using a G11 should see very few differences with a G12 in terms of picture quality.

More than a hundred years ago, a French eye doctor recorded the first case of bartonellosis, or what we now call cat scratch disease. He associated it with animals, but not with cats. In 1931, two other French physicians made the link to cats after they examined a 10-year-old patient with unusual symptoms and whose side was covered with cat scratches. Still, it was not until 1992 that doctors learned that cat scratch disease is caused specifically by the Bartonella henselae bacteria carried by cats.
Cat scratch disease is most common in children under age 10. In almost all cases of cat scratch disease, the person who develops it will have had contact with a cat or kitten. The illness is more common in the fall and winter and is not contagious to other humans.
Cats, and especially kittens, become infected with the cat scratch bacteria from fleas. Fleas probably do not spread the bacteria to humans. Rather, cats spread the bacteria to humans through scratching, licking, or biting. Cats that are carrying the bacteria don't get sick and don't need to be treated. (Cat scratch disease should not be confused with toxoplasmosis, which is a more serious disease, especially for pregnant women. Toxoplasmosis can be spread from cat feces in litter boxes.)
To prevent cat scratch disease, keep your cat free of fleas and tell your children to avoid stray cats. Children should be told not to play roughly with any cats or kittens and to stop petting them if they see "airplane ears" – flattened ears on a cat are often a warning sign that they want to be left alone. It's also a good idea to have children wash their hands after playing with a cat. Unless your child has another illness that weakens his or her immune defense system, these precautions should be enough to keep your child safe.
Cat scratch disease is rarely serious and usually goes away on its own. Once your child has had cat scratch disease, he or she is unlikely to get it again. Also, children cannot spread the disease to other children.
Most children who get cat scratch disease can recall being around cats, but they rarely recall being scratched or bitten. Here are some common signs and symptoms of the disease:
A blister or bump may develop on the skin of your child's arm, leg, or head several days after a cat scratch or bite.
A few weeks after the scratch or bite, a swollen gland, called a swollen lymph node, may develop in your child's elbow, armpit, groin, or neck area, near the location of the injury.
The lymph node may be about one to two inches wide, and the skin over it may feel warm and look red.
Your child may also have mild fever, loss of appetite, headache, rash, or tiredness.
In rare cases, more severe symptoms such as eye infection, drainage of pus from a lymph node, high fever, or infection of the liver, spleen, lungs, or nervous system can occur, but even these symptoms usually clear up without serious damage.
Your child's doctor may make a diagnosis of cat scratch disease by checking for signs and symptoms and finding out about recent contact with a cat or kitten. If in doubt, a blood test can be done to look for a reaction to the infection by your child's immune system. This reaction usually shows up in the first two months after an infection. In some cases a sample from a lymph node may be looked at under a microscope to help make the diagnosis.
Treatment of cat scratch disease may include:
Watching and waiting. In most cases skin signs will go away within three weeks, and lymph node swelling will go away within four months.
Medications for fever or headache. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) may be given. Do not give a child or teen aspirin because its use in children has been linked to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition.
Antibiotics. In more severe cases antibiotics such as azithromycin, doxycycline, and rifampin may be given to reduce signs and symptoms.
Surgery. If a lymph node becomes large, painful, or badly infected, surgery may be done to drain the node or remove it.
If your child gets bitten or scratched by a cat, make sure to wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If you see any signs or symptoms of cat scratch disease after contact with a cat, always let your doctor know. If your child is diagnosed with cat scratch disease, let your doctor know if symptoms get worse or don't improve.

Hello! I'm just going over some grammar because I am applying for a CELTA course and was confused, so I wondered if someone would be able to help me?
Transitive Verbs: My grammar book says that:
The whole family went.
AND I have applied.
are intransitive. I can see that the object isn't in the sentence but surely the sentence would make no sense if the listener didn't know where the family went or what you applied to? So isn't the object implied in the context? Does this matter? I would want to say that properly intransitive verbs are like 'I slept' where there isn't an implied object. Where do you draw the line between transitive and intransitive?

Eichler Has a Date With the 1,000-Point Club in Valentine's Day Win
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - With a 37-24 lead at the 17:47 mark of the second half, the crowd inside the Kress Center erupted as senior Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) became the 31st member of the Green Bay women's basketball 1,000-point club on a turnaround layup in the post. Eichler led Green Bay (20-2, 10-0 HL) with 14 points as the Phoenix turned down Cleveland State (12-12, 4-7 HL) in an 88-51 Valentine's Day win.
"I give our fans all the credit in the world, I think every person in the Kress knew exactly how many points I needed to get to 1,000," Eichler said. "I did the best I could to push it out of my mind and scored them all on easy layups, and that's what I like."
Following her historic night, head coach Kevin Borseth cited Eichler as a scoring threat and all-around player.
"She's Green Bay's toughness. In the long run it's a statement knowing you were one of the players that hit 1,000 points and she certainly deserves it," Borseth said. "Sarah loads the stat sheet-she scores, she rebounds, she defends and she's a leader in practice. There are certainly a lot of things she can do."
The victory marks the 15th straight for Green Bay, which never trailed in the contest after trailing the Vikings by as much as 12 points in the first meeting this season. The Phoenix had six players in double figures and held an impressive 37-0 advantage in bench scoring.
Eichler's predecessor to the 1,000 point club, fellow senior Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) opened the game with a three less than a minute into the action, sparking a 9-2 run to open the contest. But 12 offensive rebounds for the Vikings in the first half kept the game close in the beginning, as Shalonda Winton knotted the score at 15-15 with 12:10 remaining.
Cleveland State came within one at 25-24 with 8:03 remaining in the first half, but it was the last time the Vikings would score for nearly 13 minutes.
"We really needed that run, Cleveland State is a hard team to play against with the scheme they use and they always have five athletes on the court that can take it to the hole," Borseth said.
Jenny Gilbertson (Wabasha, Minn.) scored seven straight points for the Phoenix, helping the team take a 37-24 lead into the break. Green Bay carried its 17-0 run nearly five minutes into the second half, but neither team scored for the first two minutes of the second frame before Eichler took a pass from Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario), spun in the post and put up a layup at the 17:47 mark for her 1,000th career point.
Freshman Brionna Barnett (Elkhart, Ind.) had a career night in 12 second-half minutes, tallying a career-high 13 points on 5-6 shooting-including an impressive 3-4 mark from long range. She scored her first points on a pullup jumper in the paint, giving the Phoenix a 52-29 lead with 12:02 to play.
"This is all because of my teammates, I know they have confidence in me so when I come in I try not to mess up and I know they'll help me out," Barnett said. "It's also nice knowing my teammates have the same goal as me."
Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) put Green Bay up 80-49 with 3:28 remaining, marking the third time this season the team has scored 80 or more points. With 2:53 remaining, Barnett made an upperclassman move with a crossover and pull-up jumper, pushing the lead to 83-49.
Ranger would score the final five points for the Phoenix, leaving the final score at 88-51. The win completes the season sweep over the Vikings, and Green Bay's 88 points was the second-highest mark this season after scoring 99 in a 99-53 win over UIC on Feb. 2.
Eichler finished her historic night with 14 points on 7-11 shooting, while Barnett had a career-high 13 after entering the game with just 11 points for the season. Ritchie, Gilbertson and Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) all had 12 points, while Ranger added 11.
Shalonda Winton led the Vikings with a game-high 21 points and 11 rebounds, while Cori Coleman added 17.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: The Phoenix will play its third of four straight at home on Saturday, hosting second-place Youngstown State at 2 p.m. Green Bay defeated the Penguins 59-41 on Jan. 19 with the help of 3-4 three-point shooting from Gilbertson.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. Pandy is extra cute; is that a Christmas stocking she is hanging in?
You're welcome, we love our dogs. Yes that's a stocking, even for a Shih-Tzu, she's tiny compared to Ray.
I had a wonderful German Shepherd who passed away several years ago. Her little buddy was our Schnoodle who is still alive and pretty active for a 12 year old dog. As much as I loved the German Shepherd, I do prefer a smaller dog. Easy to take care of and to take places. No picture to share at the moment, sorry.
Great looking kids, can see a family resemblance.
Enjoy and love them.
All my favorites. Yep I like my dogs and you sure got a neat bunch of them.

Im tryin to help my father-in-law find the root of this problem in my sister-in-laws car. I want to see if any of you have any ideas before he takes it somewhere.
03 Hyundai Tiburon. This is rebuilt wreck. Everything worked fine after having everything fixed. The car needed a new battery and when he replaced it, the low beam lights quit working. He replaced the lights and a low beam relay and maybe a fog lamp relay. The fogs will come on when you jiggle the low beam relay but you hear a clicking from the fusebox. All related fuses have been checked.
Thanks in advance

Exclusive: U.S. Military Wants Japanese Robot Exoskeletons
Jason Mick
January 8, 2011 4:40 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Cyberdyne's exoskeleton was fully operation at a press event at CES 2011 on Friday morning.
The skeleton's balance is controlled by complex algorithms, which identify and adjust for the "driver's" center of mass.
HAL suit could see action on and off the battlefield
At the
2011 Consumer Electronics Show
this morning, an array of Japanese companies showed off a bold vision of the future. Among them was Cyberdyne Inc.,
makers of the HAL
(hybrid assistive limb) robotic exoskeleton.
According to Cyberdyne, there are currently 160 HAL suits
deployed in Japan
. Most are deployed in hospitals, helping the elderly and partially paralyzed to walk again.
Kenichi Ichihara, mayor of Tsukaba City, Japan, states, "The technology you see with HAL has a lot of meaning for us, as Japan is rapidly aging. We are the most rapidly aging country in the world."
Tsukaba City, located northeast of Tokyo, is heralded as the robotics capital of Japan. The HAL suit is one of its star products.
According to Takatoshi Kuno, Cyberdyne's sales division manager, the legs part of the suit only weighs 10 kg (~22 kg) and is essentially self-supporting. It is capable of walking at speeds of up to 6 km/hr (~3.7 mph) and has a battery life of 1.5 hours. The suit taps into nerve impulses to create a natural brain-commanded walking motion. The suit uses high-strength stepper servomotors and uses computer hardware to maintain balance when standing, walking, or climbing with the suit.
Perhaps the most intriguing detail shared with us was Mr. Kuno's statement that the U.S. government had contacted the company and expressed interest in purchasing HAL suits. He said the military primarily was hoping to use the suits in a medical capacity (e.g. for rehabilitating or providing increased mobility to injured soldiers).
Mr. Kuno wouldn't comment on the possibility of weaponization of the suit, which thus far has been used primarily for peaceful medical purchases. A couple of U.S. firms, including
Raytheon and Lockheed Martin
have been contracted by the U.S. government to produce exoskeleton prototypes.
While the possibility of carrying heavy weaponry or shielding of some type (e.g. shatter-proof glass, metal, etc.) in-battle has not been mentioned by these contractors, it surely is under consideration. These contractors have explicitly mentioned battlefield deployment, though, for purposes such as carrying munitions.
Since their products are attached to humans, Cyberdyne and its affiliates are very cognizant of risks and safety. States Mayor Ichihara, "Safety is very important. We can't have accidents or mistakes."
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

City lowers fleet expenses by using re-refined motor oil and antifreeze in all vehicles.
To read the original article that appeard in the May 2006 issue, click here.
WHO: Spokane (Wash.) Department of Solid Waste Management
PROGRAM: Household hazardous waste
THE LATEST: At less than $7/capita, the Spokane (Wash.) Department of Solid Waste Management's house-hold hazardous waste (HHW) collection and disposal program is one of the lowest-priced in the nation — a successful blend of diversion, reuse, and public education.
In 1991 the department added household hazardous waste to its list of accepted materials. Now its 20-year-old waste-to-energy facility and two transfer stations house collection locations that are open 7 days a week. The program is largely subsidized through tipping fees of $98/ton from the waste-to-energy facility.
For Disposal Superintendent Geoff Glenn, though, recycling is the program's most important component. Last year, the department extracted additional utility from 516 tons of 629 tons of hazardous waste compared to 418 tons in 2006 — a 23% increase. It reuses or sells everything from recovered refrigerants and lead acid batteries to oil and antifreeze. Residents can even swap paint, cleaners, and fertilizers at "grab tables" at the transfer stations 12 miles north and 10 miles east of Spokane.
The concept of reusing materials, including hazardous waste, began 20 years ago when the department started to collect used motor oil and batteries that it sold to refineries for processing. "Over the last couple of years we tried to find alternative marketplaces for those materials," Glenn says. "We'd been doing it with refrigerant for 10 years, so we used that as a model." Now contractors pick up the oil and batteries from the city and ship directly to the processors for recycling.
So far it's worked: Although not immune to market-driven price fluctuations, the commodities generate $12,000 to $20,000 annually.
Using its two transfer stations as a base, the department collected from local motorists 71,319 gallons of oil in 2010 and 5,963 gallons of antifreeze, which is re-refined by a local vendor for 50 cents/gallon and returned to the department for use in its fleet of 90 vehicles for $4.35/gallon. All are now running on re-refined antifreeze and re-refined motor oil. The antifreeze performs just as well as new antifreeze, Glenn adds.
Fleet services also uses the re-refined commodities on all city vehicles, even the police department's BMW motorcycles. Glenn's team saves on labor costs by using inmates from a local correctional facility work program to refill 55-gallon antifreeze containers.
Re-refining has helped reduce the total amount of disposed waste to 113 tons in 2010 from 157 in 2006.
If the department can't divert or reuse hazardous material, it's sold.
In addition to PSC Environmental, manufacturer Interstate Batteries buys automotive and sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries by the pound and Oil Re-Refining Co.

just so happens this dental expander, came into its occupiers hands unkown as he cant remember where he picked it up from (ordered it ect), he graduated from technical school before i was born, when cases of beer costed $5 dollars (aus, good beer here now $35) and cartons of smokes around the same, this screw was phased out by other cheaper and more compact and greater variety of screws on the market, so it sat in his lab for many years on a back shelf, somewhere all on its lonesome. i work with this gentleman now as he shut down his lab and is thinking about retirement so thats why he took the government job, good super good pay ect. anyways a few months back he ran a refresher course for orthodontics and i was away at another course but he bought this in and showed everyone telling them that they were rare as rocking horse p00p, made when noah made the ark ect, so i missed this never saw it, as i was being instructed by the guy that got to paint rebecca romijn in latex in the first xmen movie (hubba hubba) with regards to making prosthestics which i found quite rewarding making my first ear for a child that was born with only one. so in my search for nates nubs i talked about this as well as the borden connectors and he said i had one glenross but i sold it with all his gear when he shut down, i was stunned, but he said ill ring the guy, and he was happy to give it to me as he being an ortho technician would never use it either, so off i trundled witha 6 pack of imported beer and a nice bottle of vino for a swap and the rest is history.
just thought id share and show some pics, thanks to jinto for confirming it for me with a resin copy

Inspired by the TV Series about the Dothraki, a race of nomadic warriors, Game of Thrones, the mad scientist at PornBurger has created The Kaleesi Burger.
Khaleesi is a Dothraki title referring to the wife of the khal.
"Moon of my Stars"… "Mother of Dragons"… Call this smoldering dinosaur kale burger what you will, just don't call it weak. Smokey morsels of crisped shiitake "bacon," crown a regal beet gratin, smothered in Red Dragon cheese on top of a crunchy, berberre-rubbed kale patty, heirloom tomato, and slathering of sumac aioli."
Looks so good, somebody make it for me pleaseeee!!!
