Podcasting does for Internet audio listeners what TiVo does for television viewers--it puts you in charge of when you enjoy a program. Podcasting is a web-based broadcast medium that sends audio content (most commonly in the MP3 format) directly to an iPod or other digital audio player. You subscribe to audio feeds, receive new files automatically, and listen to them at your convenience.
As you can imagine, podcasting is taking the "blogsphere" by storm. A podcast is a professional-quality Internet radio broadcast, and like blogging and HTML before it, this revolutionary new way of publishing to the Internet has become the new outlet for personal expression.
If you've got Internet access and a copy of Podcasting Hacks, you can find out just how easy it is to listen to and create your own Internet audio programs. With Podcasting Hacks, Jack Herrington, a software engineer with 20 years of experience developing applications using a diverse set of languages and tools, delivers the ultimate how-to of podcasting for anyone looking to get the most out of this hot new medium.
Since August 2004 (the month that iPodder.com editor Adam Curry considers the start of podcasting), audio blogging has exploded. Podcasts cover every conceivable topic, including sex, relationships, technology, religion, home brewing, recreational drugs, rock 'n roll, food, entertainment, politics, and much more. There were podcasts from the Democratic National Convention in Fall 2004, and some programs on Air America and NPR are also podcasts.
Podcasting Hacks offers expert tips and tools for blogging out loud--for transmitting (and receiving) audio content worldwide with ease. This groundbreaking volume covers both entry-level and advanced topics perfect for aspiring and experienced podcasters. Herrington shows you how to get started, create quality sound, use the right software, develop a great show, distribute a podcast, and build an audience. More advanced topics include audio editing, podcasting on the go, and even videocasting.
Jack Herrington is an engineer, author and presenter who lives and works in the Bay Area. His mission is to expose his fellow engineers to new technologies. That covers a broad spectrum, from demonstrating programs that write other programs in the book Code Generation in Action. Providing techniques for building customer centered web sites in PHP Hacks. All the way writing a how-to on audio blogging called Podcasting Hacks. All of which make great holiday gifts and are available online here, and at your local bookstore. Jack also writes articles for O'Reilly, DevX and IBM Developerworks. Jack lives with his wife, daughter and two adopted dogs. When he is not writing software, books or articles you can find him on his bike, running or in the pool training for triathlons. You can keep up with Jack's work and his writing at http://jackherrington.com.

An excellent collection of tips, tricks, and explanations about making, publishing, and enjoying podcasts.
By Jack Hodgson
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Podcasting Hacks:
Jack Herrington's "Podcasting Hacks" is an excellent collection of tips, tricks, and explanations about making, publishing, and enjoying podcasts.Although the book is primarily aimed at people who are creating podcasts, it also contains some info on the tools and techniques for finding and listening to them.The O'Reilly "Hacks" books are structured as a series of specific projects, "hacks", that you can implement, but most every hack also includes a valuable explanation of the technology or expertise it uses.The hacks in this book fall into both technical and non-tech categories. There's plenty on microphones, mixers and mp3 files. But also a lot on interviewing, blogging and getting publicity for your 'cast.The book's first Chapter is the only one specifically for podcast listeners. It talks about sites and directories for finding the podcasts that are of interest to you. It also describes systems for downloading them, and the software for listening. Although the chapter contains much good info, it seems a bit out of place to me, in a book which is mostly of interest to people already looking to produce podcasts.Chapters 2, 3 and 4 are "Starting Out", "Quality Sound", and "Formats". They dive into the gear and technology of recording and producing your podcasts.Chapter 5 "Interviewing", and 7 "Publicity", tell about how to collect valuable and useful content, and how to get the word out to your potential audience.Chapter 6 "Blogging" covers how to use a blog to publicize and distribute your podcast. It covers the most popular blogging systems like Movable Type, WordPress, Drupal and others. It covers using an existing blog, or setting up a new one. Also creating and managing the all-important RSS feed for your podcast. It also talks about internet hosting services which specialize in providing online storage and bandwidth for podcasts, which, because they are larger-sized files, can be a burden on traditional hosting arrangements.Chapters 8 & 9, "Basic Editing" and "Advanced Audio", expand upon the post-production and audio tech material already covered. And Chapter 10 "On the Go" talks about recording podcasts out in the field."Podcasting Hacks" was first published in 2005, before the boom in video on the net, so it is short on info for video-podcasters. Though much of the discussion on interviewing, distribution, publicity, and hosting are directly applicable to video 'casts. Chapter 10 "Videoblogging" touches briefly on what was then an infant medium.All in all, "Podcasting Hacks" a very useful and informative book, for both new and experienced podcasters.[This review originally written for the NH Seacoast Macintosh User Group, and first published at www.techpopuli.net (http://www.seacoastmac.org/) ] (http://www.techpopuli.net)

Noobs or Vets -- This Book Has Something for You!
By Warren Kelly
This is one of those books that aren't meant to be read cover to cover. Skim through it, though, because otherwise you might miss out on some great tips -- especially if you think you know it all about podcasting.The book starts out with some great basic information --how to listen to podcasts. I think a lot of people forget this part -- they hear about podcasting, listen to a couple (usually Adam Curry), and jump right in. And you can tell, because their podcasts sound like it. You have to read before you can write, and you have to listen before you can podcast. Then you get some basic tips about your first show, and sounding professional. These first two sections should be read by everyone, especially those getting ready to start their first podcast.After recording your first podcast, listen to it critically. Then take a look at the table of contents of this book, and find out what you can do to make it better. Chapter 3 tells how to set up a home studio (with little expense) and control noise. Chapter 4 talks about something that I hadn't even thought of -- establishing a format for your show. I spent a lot of time in college at the campus radio station (9-10 AM weekdays, 10-11 Friday nights), so I am familliar with formatting, so I did it almost subconsciously with my own podcast. It does make things go a lot smoother when you're recording -- you don't have to sit thinking "What's next?" all the time.Chapter 7 is another one that everyone should read -- Publicity. You podcast to be heard, so you should know what to do to be heard. I thought I had my bases covered here, but I got a few other ideas that I'm getting ready to try out on my own podcast.The book is full of good advice for podcasters of all levels. They actually went out and talked to podcasters and technology folks to get some great ideas. That's the real benefit of this book -- they talked to these people so you don't have to spend a lot of time researching. They've tested out the microphones and mixers. And they're willing to tell you when an inespensive solution works as well (if not better) than spending a lot of money on better equipment. I'd love to have a Pro Tools setup for my podcast, but until I get a lot more money saved up (or someone decides to donate), I'll be using the headset microphone and Audacity to do my own podcast. But this book has shown me a lot of things that can improve my podcast now, and has given me a few things to shoot for later.(originally posted at Blogcritics.org)
Podcasters, Please buy this book.
By dpeach
Podcasting is audio Internet. Everything the web is for text, podcasting is for audio. This new book from O'Reilly explains that it can be wonderful entertainment as a hobby, or can be used as a form of commercial broadcasting. No iPod or MP3 player required.How do you do it? Read this book. O'Reilly and Jack Herrington have put together a wonderful book on the subject. Not just them, they also pulled from 20 contributors to make this book what it is. Their skills range from accomplished podcasters to speech and broadcasting coaches.Like all the "Hacks" books from O'Reilly, there is plenty of technical information such as what type of microphone to buy--complete with very detailed information to get the right mic for the right type of podcast. But there is also information that won't clog your thinking with too many numbers. For example there is a whole section of hacks dealing with content for your podcast. Depending on which type of audience you are seeking, you will find information as to how you should structure your show.Being a new podcast listener, I was very curious as to what might be between the covers of this book. After reading it, I feel compelled to recommend this book to some of the podcast shows I have heard. This should be required reading.Hacks range from beginner to expert in their difficulty. This book only includes 2 "expert" level hacks. This should have been rethought on O'Reilly's part. Command line encoding of your files using LAME is considered an intermediate level hack as is constructing your own sound studio in the back yard--even includes a nice diagram of how theirs was constructed. The only 2 expert level hacks were "Record Telephone Interviews" and "Build a Teleprompter." It is unclear to me as to how constructing a back yard recording studio for multiple thousands of dollars is easier than recording a phone conversation or building a teleprompter costing less than $20.When discussing different software solutions, very little is said about the Linux platform. At one point the book talks about how to do something in Mozilla Firefox (the browser) and explains how it is done in Windows and Mac, but does not mention that the same feature is handled the same way in Linux.As with all other O'Reilly books that I have read recently, it includes a free 45 day online edition of the book. This is tremendously helpful when searching the text, or if you want to cut and paste some of the code snippets to avoid typing.A very well done book. As with any of the books in the Hacks series, this was not necesarily designed to be read cover to cover. Browse around and find the answers to what you need. As long as your needs revolve around podcasting and how to make yours better, you will likely find the answer in Podcasting Hacks from O'Reilly.

The Club can confirm Jack Wilshere has a small stress fracture to his right foot, however it is not accurate to state he has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
The injury is in a different area to his previous surgery, and it will be reassessed in around two weeks time by our medical team and medical experts who have worked together throughout Jack's recovery.
This is a recognised complication of a complex rehabilitation process and, of critical importance, Jack's initial injury is recovering well.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
PJ Harvey: Let England Shake
I alluded to PJ Harvey's new album in my Radiohead thread, so here's my review.
If PJ Harvey's great-grandmother had written a musical about the Battle of Gallipoli ...
4/5 stars
Let England Shake is PJ Harvey's public-music follow-up to the private trauma of White Chalk. If WC was about a vaguely Victorian, weirdly gothic woman tapping out tales of woe in her parlor, LES is a music hall celebration from the same make-believe era. Antique instrumentation, a monomaniacal focus on the horrors of old-fashioned war (no nuclear devastation here; soldiers get shot and killed one by one), and a sentimental fixation on "England" (rather than the United Kingdom, or even Britain) combine to create an anachronistic and carnivalesque atmosphere. Sit back and enjoy the jolly good stage show!
After many listenings, my reaction to LES is that I like it more than I perhaps feel I should. I admire Harvey's chameleonlike transformations, but there is no question that in forsaking rock for synthetic period music, PJ is abandoning what she does best. Yes, WC was good, and LES is good, but albums like Rid of Me and Stories were spectacular. PJ Harvey is the greatest female rocker ever. She is not the greatest autoharp balladeer ever, although she is surprisingly good at it. Harvey's vocals on LES also represent a compromise. She's always had "special effects" vocals available on demand -- a wild falsetto or guttural growl -- but on WC and now LES, the special effects vocals have become the entire show. I miss her powerful, attractive singing in her normal range. The highly mannered warbling she offers (mostly) on LES is just not as pleasant to the ear, and it also tends to pull her off pitch more frequently.
But despite what I perceive as its weaknesses, LES charms. "The Words That Maketh Murder" is just insidiously catchy. "The Colour of the Earth" is quite moving, and "The Glorious Land' and "Bitter Branches" come close to a successful hybridization of the old, rocking PJ with the new music hall Harvey. The songs collectively give the impression of possessing interesting, unexpected depths, making for rewarding repeat listening. Let England Shake is one odd album, but for me it's become a necessary one.

Disability Services and Eligibility
Saint Xavier University is committed to providing equal access and reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities as defined under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
The LCDS office works closely with students and faculty, providing services and academic assistance to students with documented disabilities.
Specific accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis by the director of the LCDS, utilizing the required documentation and individual consultation with the student. Upon request, the LCDS will notify individual faculty members of the student's need for accommodations.
Depending on the nature of the disability, there are many types of accommodations. The LCDS utilizes four categories of disabilities:
- Medical (mobility, vision, hearing, health, developmental, TBI, etc.)
- Psychiatric
- Learning
The LCDS has disability verification forms for each specific disability. Each registered student must have his or her health care professional complete a disability verification form.
Please note that it is the student's responsibility to discuss specific accommodation needs with their professor at the beginning of each semester.
For more information, contact the director of the LCDS at 773-298-3308.
Any SXU student with a documented disability is eligible for services. According to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, persons are provided reasonable accommodations when that person:
- has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities;
- has a record of such impairment; or
- is regarded as having such impairment.
The student has an obligation to self-identify that he or she has a disability and needs accommodations. This is a significant change for many students who are used to having a secondary school automatically provide services. This is also a significant change for parents who are used to asking for services for their children and being a partner in the educational process.

Carney declined to discuss specifics, but the New Year's deal fell short of Obama's campaign pledge to raise revenue on the top 2 percent of wage earners, though individuals earning more than $250,000 and couples earning more than $300,000 would still be taxed higher because some of the value of their exemptions and itemized deductions would be phased out.
"He's always said it would require more than that, and that there would be this effort to curtail loopholes and deductions," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a nonpartisan budget watchdog group. "I don't think we are through with the tax piece, although Republicans think we are. The next couple of months are going to be just horrendously acrimonious."

Medicare and Continuing Care
Frequently Asked Questions
2. What is Medicare Part A and what does it cover?
Medicare Part A is hospital insurance that helps cover inpatient care in hospitals. Part A also helps cover skilled nursing facility care for a limited period of time, hospice care, and home health care, if you meet certain conditions. Most people don't have to pay a monthly fee, or premium, for Medicare Part A when they turn age 65 because they or a spouse paid Medicare taxes while they were working.
If a person is hospitalized, Medicare helps pay for the following services.
- Care - general nursing
- Room - semiprivate room
- Hospital services - meals, most services and supplies
If a person is hospitalized, Medicare does NOT pay for the following services.
- Care - private-duty nursing
- Room - private room (unless medically necessary)
- Hospital services - television and telephone

SnippetsOptimizing Complex Models
4 November 2010 | | | Supports v2.4, v2.3Tweet
The SilverStripe ORM engine (Sapphire) makes working with your database a breeze, but that simplicity comes at a cost. Each database query contributes to slower page load times and a complicated data structure can create significant performance issues.
Here are a number of strategies that can be employed to improve your website query performance:Continue reading...

PHP has a very shallow learning curve, it's free and anyone can have a go at making a website by following a few tutorials and implementing their experience with other languages. However, coding for the web can be a risky business, especially with dynamic websites that take some kind of user (or external) input and use that to get data from a database.Continue reading...

First of all, a delayed Christmas greeting to you and yours. There was a misunderstanding concerning the publication of my column last week.
Today is New Year's Day and I hope 2013 is a very happy year for you indeed. Because Christmas was on the last Tuesday of the month, we didn't have December's Recipe Roundup, so this week we will have those recipes and not have a January Finest Cook. We will return to that feature in February.
During Christmas, I tried several new recipes I want to share with you. The first is called Crock Pot Candy. One evening before Christmas school vacation, a friend who is a teacher stopped by with some, and it is delicious. It is similar to chocolate covered peanuts, but much easier and very tasty.
The chocolate peppermint cake was served at my sister's home on Christmas Day. Along with crown roast of pork, cranberry apple stuffing, roasted asparagus with hollandaise sauce and dinner rolls, came the delicious dessert. You could use canned frosting, but I would use the chocolate frosting recipe using cocoa. It is delicious and so creamy. It is what my sister used. She served the cake with a scoop of peppermint ice cream. It was a hit with everyone. This would be a good dessert for Valentine's Day if you can wait that long.
The stuffing served with the roast pork was very moist and I loved the addition of apples and cranberries to the usual dull bread stuffing. It is a Paula Deen recipe.

Crock Pot Candy
16 ounces salted dry-roasted peanuts
15 ounces un-salted dry roasted peanuts
1 bar German sweet chocolate
12-oz package semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
2½ lbs white almond bark
Put the peanuts in a four-quart slow cooker. Layer the chocolate over the peanuts, beginning with the sweet chocolate, followed by the chocolate chips and the almond bark. Cook on low for 3 hours. Do not stir.
Remove from heat and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Drop the candy into cupcake pan liners, using about 2 tablespoons per liner. Allow the candy to cool completely before removing the cupcake liners. Makes 30 to 40 pieces.
Chocolate Peppermint Cake
Softened vanilla or peppermint ice cream (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat three 8-inch layer cake pans with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, water, butter, eggs and peppermint extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds and on medium for 2 minutes. Stir in chips. Pour into pans.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Turn out onto a rack to finish cooling. Mix vanilla frosting with 1/4 cup chopped peppermint candies. Place one cake layer on a cake stand and spread with vanilla frosting. Place a second layer on top and spread with vanilla frosting. Top with third layer. Cover entire cake with chocolate frosting.
Press candies into sides of cake with a small spatula or knife. Serve with ice cream, if desired.

Apple Cranberry Bread Stuffing
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine chicken broth and cranberries; let soak for 30 minutes. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, pepper and celery; cook for 5 minutes stirring frequently or until tender. Add apples and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and place in a large bowl.
Beat 3 eggs in a separate bowl. Add salt and pepper. Set aside.
In the large bowl with vegetables, stir in chicken broth mixture, cream of celery soup and cinnamon. Add toasted bread, stirring gently to combine. Add eggs. Spoon mixture into prepared dish and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until center is set.

Compare great Ssangyong Oil Change prices in Stepney with Who Can Fix My Car.
Quite simply, brilliant! The service and care was first rate. Will definitely be using Car Technic in the future and would not hesitate to recommend on.
The price for the service was a bit over what was quoted, and unfortunately my car needed a new part which took the price well over the quote. However communication with Daniel was clear and timely, he was able to pick up and drop off the car which was great and he kept me informed of what needed to be done and he was able to order and fit the new part all at the sometime and provided a fully costed receipt, all of which was appreciated. So while more than I was hoping to pay, I was happy with the job and would use Daniel again.
Daniel was really professional and did a great job. He gave an interim service to my twinair Fiat Panda for £160 and it needed 2 front tyres to pass the MOT at £55 each. He collected the car in the morning and returned it cleaned and serviced at the end of the day. Would highly recommend him and I'd not hesitate to use him again.
Great independent garage. Quick, positive and hit my car through the MOT without the slightest of issues. Friendly guy too - top marks
Top notch service. Dan picked up my car dirty, did a full service, brake pads and brake fluid change and dropped it back off to me clean and shiny the next evening. Did me a great deal also! Will definitely be going back to Car Technic in the future.
They provided and a excellent repairs my nissan micra, aclutch change and also repairs to damaged bumper. The owner was friendly and provided good customer service. I would definitely recommend this garage to anyone.
good job
Anthony did great job for a fair price. Next time I will definetely ring ahead to check he will be in the garage before setting out.
Perfect job without any additional cost. On time with the good price. One of my head light was not working. They fix it without any additional cost. Definitely I will use this garage in the future. Highly recommended.
Great work and service and really nice and friendly bloke 100% use again and send friends and family to him
Same day response and completion of work. Price was25 per cent less than quote from static garage usually used.
Excellent service, very quick, had a problem with one of my locking nuts but Adam sorted it out with no problem. Would definitely recommend and use again
Car Fixed by Adam, it's good to find a mechanic that knows what he 's talking about and gives honest advice. you wont find a better mechanic
Great guy, really friendly and stuck with the problem into he figured it out. Car is running better than it ever had (although, I've only had it a few weeks...)! Recommended, and would definitely use them again if I have more trouble.
Not many mechanics out there that are efficient, cheap, have integrity and know their stuff. This place is awesome. well definitely be my regular mechanic now. Thanks
very good job, were very friendly
I had clutch problems.. Jagg picked my car up and fix my clutch very quickly. Excellent customer service, Clear friendly messages, answered all my questions and kept my informed. Very good price too.
Amazing service. Quick to go quote (very reasonable!). Took the car in the next day, car fixed and MOT passed
Happy with service
DId a great job, and came out quickly
Actual part was £170 and labour £60. Very friendly fellow, Anthony, completed a relatively simple job quickly and without fuss. Very pleased.
Anthony was fantastic. Can't recommend him enough!
Anthony from apollo was a Very nice person, excellent service great price. 100% doing business with him again
Very happy with the service. Anthony was efficient and honest on the price. I totally recommend him.
Did a great job with the bodywork repair and confirmed with me before carrying out any work
Great price great work I'll definitely be going back when the next job comes up
Great job, good price. Very happy.
Crap crap crap! Took the car for head gasket and left with a load of other issues that were never resolved. Then asked for diagnosis which Ade offered to do free of charge And after driving one minute down the road the car was nearly breaking down. He then turned round and said I didn't pay for diagnosis hence why problems weren't diagnosed. The price was good but job was bad! Don't know how he has any good reviews or maybe he isn't skilled with doing bigger jobs and fixing them properly. I don't know what mechanic can't successfully diagnose what's wrong with a car And leaves the customer with broken car. Waste of £352 and now have to take it elsewhere and pay money again. Wouldn't recommend to anyone! Don't be fooled by cheap price. Will have to take to small claims court to get money back if another garage confirms head gasket not done properly

March has several designations that relate to libraries – March into Literacy Month and Women's History Month in particular. We promote and celebrate literacy year round of course; our support for Women's History Month is not quite as obvious.
National Women's History Month traces its origins to March 1857 when a group of female New York City factory workers staged a protest over their working conditions. It wasn't until 1981 that Congress designated the second week in March as National Women's History Week. In 1987 it was expanded to the entire month.
Each year a Presidential Proclamation is issued in recognition of the month. This year it also commemorates the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, a global celebration of the "economic, political, and social achievements of women past, present, and future." It is to remind us that although progress has been made, there is still much work to be done before women achieve true parity with men.
In keeping with this 100th anniversary and as an emphasis of the current administration, the first federal report since 1963 on the welfare of women in America has recently been issued.
We have many materials in our collection that provide historical background and perspective. Most are in the subject headings of Women history and Women's rights – history.
Come visit soon for materials on this topic or most any other!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I was at the big "Occupy Philly" gathering and march in center city Philadelphia Saturday. The size of the event had to rival what's been happening on Wall Street in New York. Are the days of apathy over?
I was disappointed not to see any zine tables among the tables at the Philly City Hall gathering site.
Once, underground writers-- who were once all zinesters-- were at the forefront of activism and cultural change.
If people are fighting plutocracy in the economy, they should also be fighting plutocracy in the culture.
In recent years the hobbyists have dominated underground publishing. The activist wing of the movement has all but vanished. Is it time for this to change?
Anyway, to see how big the Philly protest was, check out the photos I've posted at my blog,
Views: 418
If anyone would like to donate zines to Occupy Richmond the mailing address is:
Occupy Richmond
3126 W Cary St. #442
Richmond, VA 23221
Yeah, it seems like Occupy is the hottest, biggest "alternative" thing to have happened since...well, it seems bigger than Woodstock, say. Pretty big. And it seems to have good traction on a wide range of exposure levels.
It really does seem like a great chance for alternative voices -- that is, writers -- to make an impact. The tent-campers have turned the eyes of the world toward the 99%. But what do they have to SAY? The world is waiting.
Now, folks here seem to think that zinester contribution means "donation" and "free" (when no one mentioned commerce at all, just the word "table") -- and then the discussion stops. Except for how or if to mail things to Australia/London. ? But it seems like there's a huge amount more to be explored, and acted upon, here. And now.
It's pretty relevant stuff.
Maybe that's why there's little to no buzz here in WMZ? Maybe zining is actually a 1%-er activity? ...Something done on the side for an out-of-touch minority. Ya know, it is often described as a "fringe" activity -- sounds kinda 1%.
Anyway, I've often thought differently about zines -- about how they relate to the real public that is overlooked by the corpo/academic media which is directed by the 1% with the purpose of exploiting the 99%.
Yeah, it seems like zinesters are natural candidates for the cultural voice and thoughts of the 99%. Of course, if they want to, they can just chime in. It's not like zinesters have asked anyone's permission before. Nor have they EVER worried about how something might "look" or if their etiquette is nice.
Some folks might think that the organizational side of something like the OWS should be left up to "experts." But surely the cultural side can also be busted open to present an opening and a big chance that the 99% has been waiting for. To take back, to take over, the written culture. Not just writing, of course. Zines have never been just about the writing. All art. Let's take it back from the 1%.
Blogs aren't necessarily the only, biggest or best way to reflect on OWS. Just because they're fast doesn't make them #1. Speed isn't everything. Who's going to stand up for real writing and real art? Or, speed is best for breaking news, as has been said. But there's more to be done. Will zinesters have a role?
Haha. I'm definitely not a 1%er. You make an interesting discussion, Jeff. Personally, I went to Occupy Melbourne and thought it was the perfect thing to make a zine about. They are words and art and everything that artists can reflect during such interesting times.
But perhaps zinesters went through some of the same thoughts I did - what is the focus of the zine, will occupy people want it?, do I have the $ to make it on my own with no return $? - and stopped. Or some don't understand it. I don't know what it's like in the US, but in Australia, some of our media outlets are trying very hard to make the occupy movements look like a bunch of ragtag jobless hippies.
I think zinesters have a role if they choose to create one. Given how long things have gone, speed isn't so much of the essence and we have the time to explore what place zines can have.
Are you referring mainly to serving folks doing the actual occupying? One angle might be that a zine that deals with or includes OWS issues could be distributed to non-Occupy people, to the general public. Maybe to help them better understand the movement. For instance, to counter the mainstream. So the zine basically could be presented to the mainstream as a counter-voice.
I don't get the "it's gotta be free coz it's about a protest" angle. For one thing, existing zines -- just like any existing media -- can just start to include OWS coverage and then keep whatever free/fee set-up it had before.
Sure, if a zine is going to be just one more thing that is handed out to the protesters themselves, on site, then it should fit in to that flow. However, if food is given to protesters it is likely bought from someone at some point so money is involved at some point which then shifts to a donation mode for the occupiers themselves. Obviously, if you're occupying you're not working and so you're supported.
I wonder if some occupiers ARE working, however. Anyone know? I live in the sticks so I haven't seen an occupation protest. But I've long been able to do my own particular job most anywhere via laptop, cellphone, or even notebook.
Also, I wonder about the sustainability of the model. Is a structure being set up to pay the rent/utilities, etc., of those who intend to make a longterm occupation? I hope that someone has done the accounting on the feasibility of this. A more typical political campaign is built around meetings for at least one obvious reason: everyone involved has to make a living. The OWS shouldn't build in any easily-identified weak positions into its method. I wonder if a sufficient core of supported occupiers is what will evolve. Each town will have to calculate how many occupiers are needed and how much donation will be required.
Anyway, it was curious that the charging money for zines angle is what was singled out at first. It seems a total non-issue. Whatever works and fits is what will evolve. If someone makes a misstep they won't likely repeat it, right?
Consider music. Some folks might play music with the occupiers, to support both the cause and the morale. Other musicians perhaps nearby who must support themselves might add OWS themes to their mix but will likely continue busking for cash wherever that works for them -- otherwise they'd starve. Right?
A writer in America who could best cover the OWS would likely already be close to starving. (In contrast to a hobbyist whose work might have less impact.) So they'd unlikely be able to print up a zine on the OWS then give it away in a print-run volume that would make suitable impact. It might be that OWS organizers (purse-string holders) could work with such a zinester and get the printing paid for that way and then maybe also join in on the foodline. That is, the media-side is important to the immediate cause and would likely be supported by organizers so that it could happen.
Anyway, however the money-side would work out best could likely be readily managed.
Proximity might be relevant here. A bit off to the side of an occupation the whole range of indie culture might attract more attention than usual these days, free or not. Ripe days are these! Seize the day! Are folks out there JUMPIN'? It's a big rare chance. Of course, it's fleeting. If these moments mean anything to you, it's time to ACT!
(I understand that for hobbyists these days may well be like any other, OWS being just another news-item, something that might or might not trickle out to mean more. Those who are just ITCHIN' for a chance, an opportunity, might view it differently.)
I don't think you can qualify that statement by saying that BECAUSE you are a radical libertarian that both movements aren't even close with your views. I have a friend who is invovled in the Occupy movement who also identifies the same as you.
What is so different about what you think that Occupy wouldn't suit your needs? You feel cooperations should run our government? If not... Occupy could be something you could be behind. Not that you need to support or even be a sympathizer but i dont think you are so far removed as you think you are. Go to one of the Occupations and see how many different people are out there from vastly different walks of life (though I can only speak for Richmond).
James N. Dawson said:
I'm a radical libertarian so neither the Tea Party nor Occupy Wallstreet represent my views. Not even close.
These types up movements are huge fronts skillfully manipulated by politically savvy factions. They're 98% rhetoric, all slogans, marches and display, and each, as a whole, has little ideological coherence. Occupy is essentially coercive-collectivist-egalitarian. Tea Party is essentially right wing social conservative bigotry. At best they're each very mixed bags.
If government were brought down to an absolute minimum, eliminated if possible, then corporations running government would be a moot point. Occupiers want huge government to take care of the needy. As such they want huge taxes to fund it. The poor must then submit to the caregivers control---they and their lives must be regulated, and as such, sell themselves into oppression. I oppose all taxation, all regulation. The vast majority of the Tea Party & Occupiers don't want that, despite their empty bluster. I will not add my support to their displays.
It's all a massive charade, and it's been going on for decades and decades and decades. Leftists voted for Obama---I refuse to call them by the good name of liberal, I'm a liberal, for libertarianism is authentic liberalism, leftism isn't---because they wanted to alleviate their white guilt and were duped by his silver tongue, but now even they've seen he's a typical politician. Tea partiers, the dupes, have witnessed their glorious politicos back pedal and vote for farm subsidies.
Freedom requires careful thought, commitment and principle. Frankly, I wonder if it's just a crazy, futile dream. I see apathy, muddled thinking, and naivete all around me. I have some plans myself, but I doubt anybody's interested in them. Decentralism is one, but that's a very hard strategy because of the very policies the right and the left (including the occupiers and tea partiers) will fight against with their agendas tooth and nail.
Yes, I am "apathetic" about the Occupiers. I don't share their core philosophy or goals. Nothing will come of it anyway, and any "victories" they achieve, will quickly be co-opted by the establishment. It's virtually axiomatic.
Consider two goals that may help all, and that are important to me.
1. Support the grass roots jobs idea of a National Hiring Day that would suggest a voluntary day when every corporation in the US hire one or more people, or at least stop firing ,
2. Oppose the consolidation of the arts and media into so few hands and support independent arts and media - the independent media was the one that has always been there. Then call for arts that fit - not corporate art - but the honest art of most independents artists of all kinds.
These are two issues that I'm very concerned with.
There is one thing to consider about protest photos. I note that when you take photos of protestors, they look like normal people. I wrote this comment on mainstream protest photos:
Media seldom cover protests in the US, unless they can find a picture of violent goofy painted face on a protestor. When has any media shown protestors that wear suits. This is cheap journalism where the media searches out the most goofy looking person with the most angry petulant scowl. Mainstream media it won't work. People can see through this use of photos as propaganda. It's fake journalism . And we both know it.
Why won't mainstream media talk about US protests unless they turn violent or can be pictured as goofy and childish?
James- I'm mostly Libertarian and can identify with a lot of what the OWS has to say. I think only a portion of protesters are into the more socialist side of things. I can totally support the goals of:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|ya center your boots, get a wide board and another thing to look for is risers/gas pedals on the bindings. I wear size 13 boots and just got a wide board and got bindings with the risers and shouldn't have any problems with toe or heel drag. My bindings are burton cartels and you can slide the toe of the binding in and out and the very end of it is slightly tapered up so that it picks the toe of the boot up a bit, helps bigger footed riders like me and you.
|Good news for big footed riders is new boots this season are really cutting out the bulk and a size 14 typically has the footprint of something in the 12-13 range of older boots. Invest in good boots and work around them. Duck your stance a little if you have to 18/-15 might work. I have small feet but I've used that stance since I was 13 years old. Definitely look at a wide board, but spend more time sizing a boot up best you can. Chances are you really ride a 13 boot and have one that's too big. It's a mistake 90% of new riders make. I rode boots a size too big the first 7 years of riding. Read the Boot Fitting section of this Forum, it has a sticky above these. If you weigh 200lbs you can do freestyle on a fairly large board 158-162 and won't have a problem finding a wide board to suit you. Just focus on the boots, and don't cheap out on them. I also highly recommend getting a footbed from Superfeet if you can fit them in a bigger boot. Good luck man.
|like everyone is saying you need a wide board and size large binding (for most companys) or xl is they have it. u just will need to make sure that ur width on the board is big enough to allow the 14 boots. so u can be looking for a 159 and up.. in terms of weight cheeper board weight more due to the materials used on them. hope this helps
|Your choice of a 161 should be good for your weight. A wide board is recommended, but centering your boots on the board is definitely necessary. Get new bindings as well. If you're planning to make a go at snowboarding, you might want to buy a spend a little more than $200. Your buddy's Lamar board is a price point, entry level board.
LOL at having toe edge problems and then seeing half of the boot hanging off the toe edge.
But ya you boot doesn't look centered. It could definately be the camera angle though. This can be adjusted a bit
For size 14 you are gonna need a wide snowboard for sure though.
a big part of why it's so heavy is cuz it's a cheap rossignol
I'd recommend spending more than 200
|Boots definitely are not centered in the binding...Although the binding doesn't look big enough for a 14. You def need a wide board and some appropriate big bindings! Then you want to center your boot in the binding. I have heel and toe overhang and it's not an issue.
it might just be the camera angle but the boots don't look centered(?) looks to have a lot more of the toe area sticking out. you could try moving the bindings more towards the bottom (last pic).
that being said, i THINK anything over a size 12 (12 1/2?) might mean getting a wide board.
we've got a lot more knowledgeable folks on the board, they'll probably chime in shortly.
Returning boarder seeking advice (with special concerns)
Hello folks! I'm a returning snowboarder from a 2 year break due to financial/personal reasons..now that the Snowboard Convention is in town, I would like to replace my old gear.
Here is my old equipment which I purchased from the Ski/Board Convention @ the LA Convention Center (aka Skidazzle)
Very basic stuff I got as a combo for cheap at the ski convention..I think maybe it was $200. Rossignol District 165 and some very basic Burton strap-on bindings...
My concern is this...when I used to ride, I noticed that a lot of time I would fall/slide/slip when I'm on my toe-side. I thought nothing of it at first and just thought I needed more practice..But my friends looked at how my boots were sticking out of the board so much and said that might be the problem why I'm not improving as fast..so I come here for advice.
Here is what it looks like with the boots on.
My boots are size 14 (U.S. Size..about 13.5 inches when measured on the bottom with a ruler) and the part that sticks out is 2 inches...my friends recommended that I get a "Wide" board..
At Skidazzle, they have 2 sections, one with vendors selling good/new stuff, and other a warehouse-ish section with hundreds of boots/binds/boards/accessories that are maybe 1 or 2 seasons older models (not used), sold by the Skidazzle staff..I plan on buying it from the warehouse section but it has no-return/exchange policy so I want to go in prepared on what I need to buy.
I am 6 ft tall, 200 lbs. I'm thinking about buying a wide freestyle board, that is not as heavy as my RS District 165..so I'll probably aim for 161..because my 165 is just sooo damn heavy to carry around. I also need some bindings that is big enough to fit my boots. My total price range for both bindings/board is about $300~$350..but at the section of the convention I'm going to, they sell it really cheap because some are models from previous seasons..
For example my friend picked up ride binding/lamar board combo for $200 + tax.
2 inches of boots sticking out of the board is not acceptable at all right? If anyone can shed some light on this for me, that'd be so much appreciated..I want to go into the convention prepared to know what size/measurements/type/brand I should be buying..thanks in advance guys!

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
pleasant staff It was too far to walk to the port in comfort and uphill to walk back-not good if you have back problems either as beds very hard. Noisy too, as road works in progress in the street below. If without car which we were no info about bus times etc
Staying at Capri was very nice and we found the hotel staff to be very friendly and very helpful. We found the hotel and apartments very clean and well looked after. Overall a very pleasant stay and would return there without a doubt. Thank You.
Good location. Great breakfast The website said that there was a spa and a pool, but both were closed due to renovations during my stay.
Stayed in apartment battached to hotel. Clean, but a little bare. 15 mins walk from harbour
I enjoyed the use of the spa facilities. The breakfast choice was excellent. We only stayed 1 night so did not make use of the restaurant. The only small thing was that the room smelt smokey when we first arrived, however I mentioned this and a maid came to spray it and this helped in freshening up the room.
Breakfast buffet was outstanding. Very nice simple pool and spa on the roof. The Telegraph bar is most pleasant.
Location, near bus stop. Balcony
Mostly Everything. Hot food at breakfast not very hot. No kettle in room for making tea or coffee
Staff were very helpful indeed and more than willing to provide local information. The spa facilities were also lovely, if a little small. The breakfast was a particular highlight with a huge range of food and quality each day.
Breakfast fabulous, hotel very clean and central location There wern't any
Good standard, value for money I found the hotel hard to find and carparking a problem
The tall male member of staff was very pleasant and helpful. The air conditioning in the room I was given did not work at all, and after a change of room the following day the main light did not work. I felt that both faults were obvious, which led me to form the impression that the hotel is not well-maintained. The female staff member to whom I complained about the faulty facilities made me feel very awkward - as a paying guest of the hotel I did not appreciate her attitude at all.
veiws of harbour beds and small room
The location, the friendly staff,and the proffessional running of the hotel, especially the blond lady that was at breakfast The bedroom was a little cold, we where not able to work the heating
excellent breakfast. amazing views. lovely staff. a little bit of walking into town which some people could stuggle with.
Distance from Mahon Centre and tired decor in room
Very friendly and helpful staff, air-conditioning a boon, shady garden for sitting in heat of the day, wonderful position overlooking the harbour and watching the fire-works, gargantuan breakfast, try the pomada,easy walking distance to bus-station, old town and local squares where you can stroll in the evening with the townsfolk.
I like the view to the harbour and water You had to walk a lot of stairs to reach the hotel
The accommodations were good and the staff friendly and helpful
Very good! staf is very friendly!!! Trully recommend!
We have stayed at the hotel on many occasions and you can always be assured of a warm reception. None. the buffet restaurant is also very good
The view from the room fronting the port in the morning! The room service did not have all the menu items available, I had to change my order many times in order to finally get something I like.
Nothing I did not like the very loud noise of the band. It spoils the beautiful look over the harbour at night. You could not talk with each other because of the music and you have to speak with a very loud voice to the waitress to place your order. the coffee machine was broken down and the machine who did work gave coffee drip by drip.
Good location, good hotel, good room, good price! Not being able to get a meal 5 mins after the kitchen had closed.
Courtesy of all staff. Magnificent Mahon harbour view room. Buffet dinner at 15Euros good value No hot drink making facilities in room!!
The facilities were good and the position of the hotel was excellent We were not impressed by the self service restaurant although the food was reasonable if you were late to dinner it had been hanging around for a while. We would recommend bed and breakfast, rather than half or full board.
We were given a free upgrade to a suite, which was to an excellent standard. The staff were friendly, professional and very helpful No
Functional hotel in somewhat old fashioned style, located 10 minutes from the old city, nice views from some rooms over the harbour
every thing
We had a lovely room with a great view over the port. Only criticism, was the pool furniture was old and uncomfortable
Relaxed, laid back. Excellent in reception, restaurant less so. The food in restaurant was adequate only.Room was smelly because of lack of airing only.
Excellent location, but must have a hire car, for touring the Island of Menorca, great views across to Mahon and only 30 mins drive from Mahon. Excellent facilities [bar, restaurant, pool etc]. Although we booked the hotel in January, for a two week stay, we were relocated to a higher grade hotel, within the hotel group, for the last five nights of our holiday, at Son Bou, with no extra cost to ourselves. The second hotel was superb in all respects and the arrangements for the move were faultless. The move was as a result of no bookings at the Cala Llonga hotel at the end of September. The downside to the move was that we had to pack & unpack an extra time.
comfortable,excellent value for money
Amazing view.
the view not allowed to use the pool after 7p.m.
peaceful and comfortable if a little dated The restaurant was poor and as the only one within 2 miles in a large residential/mooring a real missed opportunity
Evening meal was not up to the expectd standard
the view not at all 4star hotel, 2 at the most
The friendly and helpful staff. The tranquility of the location and that it was a small hotel. nothing
quality of equipement, material sound from pool
Quality of the room facilities. New, stylish and innovative room facilities set it apart from other hotels. Locals working on building project at 0530
Staff very friendly although we struggled to communicate with my little Spanish and her little English. Room was very comfortable and quiet. Hotel was very close to main shopping centre/bars/restaurants. Would definately stay there again.
Nothing at all except the opoor manager who was overworked to a standstill !!!!!! Disliked everything. No bar, no restaurant, no wi fi, rubbish breakfast. Hated it hated it hated it !!!!!
The rooms are very clean and modern. The air conditioning works well and the complimentary soaps etc in the bathroom were much appreciated. There is also a fridge in the room which was useful. The bedrooms are very good but the public areas are small and very poor. We had arranged to meet friends in the hotel bar for a drink. Very uninviting and looked as if it was shut. We asked for wine. No wine. We asked for Gin (which is made in Mahon!!) No gin. There is only one member of staff working there who appears to work all day and all night! Very friendly but did not give a very professional feel to the hotel. Breakfast was uninspiring and pretty poor. It is a shame this hotel has spend so much money doing the bedrooms which are lovely and have totally overlooked the public areas.
The receptionist was very sympathetic and helpful. The room was clean and of excellent quality.
Staff were very friendly, room was very modern and very clean, good location too No outside parking, however, free carpark only 2min walk
The friendliness of staff (excellent!), the tranquillity although the central location, very good value for money Maybe try to secure a couple of parking positions for the hotel customers (although difficult at that area)
Stayed for a week over Christmas, quiet, friendly, comfortable. Great coffee at breakfast, but the food could have been better.
The hotel felt very comfortable and they made you feel very welcome but with no stuffiness. Overall excellent. Nothing
A small well presented hotel with friendly helpful staff a few minutes walk from the centre of Mahon. Ideal city centre location.
Perfect atmosphere for relax.
It was easy to find, cheap to stay, and had very thing I needed. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included but wasn't good. Spent extra money to have a dinner at one of the nearby sister-hotels, and went through the pains of making a reservation and getting dressed up for it, but it was only a buffet with decent food. Located close to a few beaches, but the better ones were far away
The staff friendliness above all and the extra activities (sports centre with mountain biking, diving, tennis, trekking, etc...) Accessibility (it's close to the airport, but is almost only accessible by car - poor bus service)
There was nothing open only 6 people in the whole 120 room hotel no train as advertised no entertainment as advertised no poolside bar open the area is very very quite none of the 4 shops open ghost town
The rooms were comfortable, clean and modern. The staff were friendly and helpfull. The spa was a little too dear. There was a wide choice of good quality food. The pool area was stylish, immaculate and spacious. The glass wall between the bathroom and bedroom could be a little "awkward" for friends when using the shower.
It's a modern hotel, with all of the commodities that we can expect from a 4* hotel. The rooms are pleasant and clean.
We travelled with another couple and were put into ajoining rooms which was very convenient and made out stay more pleasurable
The Staff were very helpfull and friendly. They were quick to move me after I complained about the location of my room. The rooms were very clean and modern. The room locations were badly planned as a lot of the rooms looked straight into another room with no view what so ever. I felt that I could not go out onto my balcony or leave the curtains open. I requested another room that was a lot quieter and looked out onto a field. The food was nice but not very hot.
Convenient location, clean rooms, very friendly and helpful staff, good buffet breakfasts and dinners! Checking in and out took quite a while
we have stayed at this hotel before (13 years ago) and have used the barcelo chain since, this hotel offers a wide range of facilities to cater for every age. an ideal family hotel very popular with other europeans not just british holiday makers.we will be returning.
I enjoyed our stay at the Hotel because it was relaxing, without too much disturbance from young people, particularly around the pool area. For a supposedly (applied for) 4 star hotel, the buffet food on every day of our 6 night stay was appalling.
Location, at three minutes walking to Punta Prima beach, which is a great beach. Inside hotel area, everything is very spacefully, with a lot of green areas, trees, 4 swimming-pools, and things for all family.
A well appointed 1970`s hotel,a par of the S`Algar developement,built around mature tropical gardens.Room clean with effective aircon,buffet breakfast excellent choice and well prepared lasting pleasingly late(10.30).Rooms cleaned thoroughly daily.Pool immaculate & large. Service at pool bar dreadful.Buffet dinner not really worth eating.NB:S`Algar is 5kms from the nearest town San Lluis,and has 1 small supermarket and 2 restaurants,no sandy beach.I hired a car for 3 days out of 6 there.
Lovely setting peaceful quiet resort, I was on holiday on my own and felt safe and relaxed at all time. Hotel perfect for older people not really for families. Every thing about the S'Algar is good perhaps the chef needs to stop putting sauce on everything and stick to simple cooking.
The quietness and non-commercial aspect of of the location I do not believe that the Buffet Main Meat,Fish,Veg selection was of 4* quality; I am basing this judgement on constant use of 4* hotels when away from home both in UK and Abroad
Beautiful location, excellent facilities with very pleasant, relaxing environment within the hotel. Very good spacious room overlooking sea and air conditioning was very welcome. A very pleasant holiday.

I'm working on a sonic rifle for my annimated Fett costume and I need some help. The rifle is made from 2" thk. blue board and sanded down into shape. I've used wood glue to hold the pitchfork part on but I know its a little weak. I'm thinking about inserting a dowel rod and then glueing it. Does anyone know of a good "glue" that won't eat the styrene? I even thought about bondo-ing it and sanding it but I'm not sure.
Also, once its complete, I thought about making a mold and casting it out of resin. I've never done that before so I don't know if it'll work. Anyone having any insight please post your thoughts. :confused

Thanks for sharing that video clip Dr. B.
Yeah, it can really surprise you when you get out past a point or harbor and the fetch increases... one of my first sails on my boat two years ago was in 35 knots of wind and it wasn't so bad, at least until I got out past the second point...then the fetch was from somewhere down in New Jersey, and the waves went from 3-5' up to about 9-12'. Did that for about 45 minutes and decided that I had had enough fun for the day...and headed back in.
Went Out in Salem (MA) Sound on Sunday
Although they were calling for 8 to 10 foot waves around Coastal North Shore to Plymouth, MA, I scheduled a sail on Sunday in hopes that the forecast was more accurate for further away from land than in the Sound.
When I got to the Harbor Entrance and looked out of over the entrance into the sound, I could not believe my eyes, no seas and steady 15 kt winds!
Hope back into the car and get to the launch. Meet my sailing buddy, get to the boat, fire up the iron sail and head out. Get the main up and we are doing a easy 4.5 kts. Unroll the genny and we are flying at 6.5 kts. Some sail trim and course correction and we are flying across the sound at 7.5 kts with a steady heel of about 28 deg. This is the fastest I have ever been in my new-to-me boat.
We blast around for another 3 h, before the winds change to a more easterly direction and the Sound fills with 3 to 4 ft whitecaps and the winds pick up. Tried to outside the sound and was met with 8 foot swells and 20 to 25 kt winds. Not for today's lesson.
Ran only with main up back to mooring at a constant 6.5 kts.
One of the best days of sailing of my life.
Short video during one of the close reach legs.
KABOOM was a bust
Well the fireworks were a dud this year; as we crossed the central SF Bay the fog started rolling in and by the time they lit them off it was thick. We sailed across The Slot with a reefed jib alone and the wind must have been 30+ because we made ~6kts with only the jib up on a close reach. When we got to the lee side of TI we could only see the low fireworks and many were blocked by the island in addition to the fog so we flipped around and headed back to Richmond. Although the fog was in the inversion layer was about 200' up so we had plenty of visibility until we were back across; but I was glad to have the Radar/Plotter up and running anyway.
|If you need some more slow boats, as CD to bring his catalina over.
Saturday was tune up race day. Not a real race, just practice. Lots of start sequences, stuff like that. Almost no one showed up because the weatherman predicted torrential downpours and 30 mph wind. We got 20 mph wind and a few drops. We had a good time, but could have used a few more slow boats like mine to get a feel for the upcoming competition.
Sunday was a full day of yardwork at the mother-in-law's house.
|It was absolutely calm when we went out Sat. It was blowing 30-40 yesterday but seeing it was Mother's Day, we did what she wanted. Maybe I'll get out there this afternoon to finally test that sail.
Saturday: Raced in 2 Races. Dad's boat... didn't kick butt, but still beat a few boats. Got soaked for the first race and the Sun came out for the second... Had a great raft up afterwards with the MRSA folks.
Sunday: Cleaned Dad's boat then took out mine with just the main. Went and snooped down Deep Creek and snapped a few spy shots of Chuckles's cat. muahahaha. Sailed out into the bay and came back in just as it was kickin' above 25 or so....
NDBC - Station COVM2
Pretty ugly out there now! (that's a bit south.. you get the idea though)
Came back... adjusted all my dock lines for the super-duper-extra-high tide we're expecting here in the bay... Repositioned some bumpers and gave a quick check to some of the friends around me to make sure their lines were in order...
It was cold (and Sunday is torrential rain) so I was working on the boat. Here is what I've got done:
1) new curtains for main salon
2) rebed on of the chainplates (not planned)
3) pad piling with carpet
4) install rubstrakes
5) install handle/lock for engine hatch
6) take down the genoa (yard has to do some work on forestay) and the furling line to replace
7) install new valve in the head intake
|Another Sunday night is upon us I had a great day sailing on Saturday. The weather actually improved to the point where we saw, that's right, the Sun! Sailed single reefed in the morning but as the afternoon floated by the winds died down a bit. Did a lot of practicing of maneuvers (man over boars) and practiced sailing up to the moorings. I got checked off entirely for ASA 101 though I have to take a simple written exam. No pictures this time around, but I'll try next time

Regulation of Financial Contracts
If you are conducting business transactions outside of your state, such as borrowing money, leasing equipment, establishing contracts and selling goods, you need to comply with the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). UCC consists of uniform rules coordinating and simplifying the sale of goods and other commercial transactions throughout the United States.
Commercial transactions often occur across state lines. Goods, for example, may be manufactured in one state, distributed in another and sold to a customer in a third state. Banking and credit transactions often occur between financial institutions in one state and customers in another state.
For small businesses, UCC comes into effect when borrowing money from an out of state lender or negotiating a lien. Here is what you need to know:
- Borrowing Money: UCC Filing Statements – The Uniform Commercial Code or UCC, as it relates to lending, is a way for each state to have a consistent method of recording the security of a loan. When banks or SBA lenders make secured loans, or loans with collateral, they file a UCC-1 form with the state where the loan agreement is executed. This filing essentially makes the loan security, or collateral, a matter of public record. Without this filing, a lender could run into difficulties, laying claim to the collateral in case of default. Talk to your lender about the process of filing a UCC-1 form.
- Securing Liens and the UCC – If your business provides goods or services on credit, Article 9 of the UCC provides a means for you to secure payment from your debtor. If you are in the construction business, the equivalent law is called a construction lien. Visit your state's website for information on filing a lien or finance statement to ensure payment of credit under these laws.
Remember that laws vary from state to state, so you should consult an attorney on matters concerning UCC filings, liens and security agreements.
