Florida's Ports Positioned for Panama Canal Expansion
October 17, 2012
Miami-Dade County today announced that the contracting phase of its project to deepen the Port of Miami's channel to minus 50 feet has begun with the solicitation of bids by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2013 and be completed in time for the opening of the expanded Panama Canal in early 2015.
"The 'Deep Dredge' project is critical to the future growth of Port of Miami," said Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez.
He added that the Port of Miami will be one of only three U.S. Atlantic ports to be at the required -50 feet level in time to welcome the new generation of larger container cargo vessels arriving via the expanded Panama Canal.
Bill Johnson, the port's director, said that a deeper channel will provide ships with a more efficient, reliable and safe navigational route into Miami.
"As the closest port to the Panama Canal, we are well positioned to capture new trade opportunities," he said. According to Johnson's forecast, the port will double its cargo traffic over the next several years.
Thanks to the pledge of $112 million from Governor Rick Scott and the State of Florida, the port's "Deep Dredge" remains on schedule to open in sync with the expanded Panama Canal, helping transform Florida into a global logistics hub.
Meanwhile, a smaller, but important regional port to the north is undertaking three key expansion projects over the next six years. According to authorities at Port Everglades, the Broward County gateway will add five berth; widen and deepen the channel to 50 feet and bring freight rail into the port.
According to spokesmen, Port Everglades must widen and deepen its channel to 50 feet to remain competitive with seaports in the Southeastern U.S.
"The port already handles Post-Panamax ships," said spokesmen. "But they must be lightly loaded, which is inefficient and drive carriers away to other ports."
Shipping analysts note that the Port of Miami and Port Everglades are the 11th and 12th busiest container gateways in the U.S. for international trade. They add, however, that both need deeper channel to meet the projected growth of South Florida's business.

The striped bass of the Chesapeake, and therefore the Eastern Seaboard, got a dose of good news this week with a big spike in the Young of the Year numbers.
I spoke briefly with my friend John Page Williams of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation about it, and he said it has everything to do with ideal weather conditions during spawn and early life stage.
Of course, the best news for the striped bass in the long run could come out of the ASMFC meeting in Boston in two weeks. Williams and his friends in the CCA and other conservation groups have been working hard to ensure that the result comes down in favor of protecting the bass. "It looks to be a landmark vote," said John Page.
Also of paramount importance is what happens to the menhaden. The ASMFC has to vote on whether to raise the population threshold from eight percent to 15 percent, as explained in this article from the Richmond Times Dispatch.
Midcurrent also lays it out in detail here, with a link on how to write your local ASMFC rep about it. (Here is the direct link to the state by state directory.)
Here's a chart that shows why you need to write.

The Junior Gunners and Arsenal Soccer Schools teamed up once again this summer, hitting the the road with the 'Gunners on the Road' interactive centre. We visited 14 locations and met many eager Junior Gunners on the way.
The experience gave fans a look at life behind the scenes at Arsenal. The virtual tour consisted of a sneak-peak at the Arsenal Training Centre, while fans were also given the chance to try out Batak Wall, a hi-tech gym machine, as well as taking part in a penalty shoot-out.
At each location we chose a lucky winner who got two tickets to a match at Emirates Stadium.
On Saturday, September 15, we invited all the winners down to enjoy a pre-match session with Gunnersaurus and watch the team arrive. A great day out was topped off with a fine 6-1 win.
The 'Gunners on the Road' trailer will be at Emirates Stadium from 6pm on September 26 pre-match for our Capital One Cup match against Coventry City.
Make sure you come down and attend! There are some great prizes to be won.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Can we trust 2000 years of fallable men to keep the Tradition passed down from the apostles accurately though?
It's a judgment call to even decide who kept tradition the best on either side of every schism anyway.
That's another possible motivation to Scripture for all guidance... not merely an "anti-tradition" stance.
But, rather, it's an attempt look to Scripture for apostolic tradition.
And its the most trustworthy thing were have for that purpose.
Once you look at the facts and forget about our personal sentimentalities, the answer isn't too hard (The Orthodox Church).
I don't think Protestants realise how much they rely for their OWN faith on the early Church's Tradition. To begin with the early Fathers are the ones that picked the Books that today comprise the Bible, it was THEIR decision that defined what Scripture IS.
Second, most Protestants believe the Nicene Creed, another masterpiece of the one Church.
Third, the core dogmas of Trinity and Christ as fully God AND fully Human were fully developed 600-700 AD, thanks to the Church's Tradition. Multiple Heresies were denying these core beliefs for hundreds of years.
So dear Protestants, whether you like to admit it or not, implicitly you DO trust the one Holy Catholic/Orthodox and Apostolic Church Tradition.

Kathleen and James Rodriguez will begin their 10th season at the helm of the UTEP softball program in the 2012-2013 season.
The Miners finished the 2012 campaign with a 16-37 record. The Rodriguez's tutored UTEP's first-ever All-American, Camilla Carrera, who was tabbed to the NFCA First-Team. Carrera alongside teammate Chelsea Troupe were also named Easton All-Americans.
The Rodriguez's have had other notable accomplishments since starting the first softball program at UTEP. In 2007, the season was highlighted with a stunning doubleheader sweep of fifth-ranked Arizona State, which was UTEP's first win against a nationally ranked opponent. UTEP ended its 2010 season with a record of 31-24. The co-head coaches had their first 30-win season in 2008 with a 30-24 record.
During their illustrious career, they have coached three all-tournament honorees, four All-Americans, three conference players of the year, 36 All-Conference players, 31 Academic All-Conference honorees, 10 Academic All-District selections, 22 Academic All-Americans and two NCAA Woman of the Year nominees.
Named co-head coaches in the spring of 2003, they wasted no time in putting together a roster. In April, 2004 they announced UTEP's first-ever recruiting class, a group which featured seven freshmen and four junior college transfers.
On Nov. 4, 2003 UTEP officials unveiled plans for the $1.8 million Helen of Troy Softball Complex, the new home of the Miners which was completed in 2005. The field measures 200 feet down the left and right field lines, and 220 feet down the center. It is a 900-seat facility equipped with softball locker rooms, coaches' offices, a shower and restroom area, two lounge/video areas, a conference room, a meeting room, a reception area and a storage area.
Kathleen and James Rodriguez were co-head coaches at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales, N.M. from 2000-02, with Kathleen heading up the program during the 1998 season. Prior to ENMU they started up the softball program at Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas, leading the Mountaineers to the regional tournament in only their second year of existence. Kathleen began her coaching career as an assistant at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas in 1995.
Together they guided Eastern New Mexico to a fifth-place national showing in 2001. The Zias were Lone Star Conference South Division and South Central Regional Champions, earning them league coach of the year and regional coaching honors. Eastern New Mexico's team grade point average rated among the nation's top 20 Division II schools in each of their last three years at the school.
A native of Santa Fe, N.M., Kathleen was a four-year starter for Saint Mary's University's national tournament team from 1991-94, playing catcher and third base. She was an All-State player at Santa Fe High School from 1988-90.
A native of San Antonio, Texas, James was a four-year starter for the St. Mary's University baseball team. A first baseman, he helped the Rattlers advance to the national tournament in 1993.
Kathleen and James have two sons, Ryan (15) and Aryn (11) and a daughter, Isabella (6).

So, lessee...
You want to carry a $800.00 gun in a $30.00 holster. OK.
Uncle Mike's makes Nylon-fabric OWB holsters with safety straps.
Maybe one of them would do.
To a great extent, gun-carry safety depends upon the holster. It should cover the trigger completely, and, in the case of a SA semi-auto, it should also immobilize the safety lever.
It should also allow quick, secure access to the pistol.
Generally speaking, Nylon-fabric holsters don't do any of these things well. Molded Kydex does a couple of them pretty well, depending upon the design.
A high-quality leather holster can do it all, if properly designed.

I've been looking at these for a while now. Just picked up my 223 Saiga last month, so hopefully it'll work ok with it. Not sure if it matters or not, but mine has magwell dimples.

I've been looking at these for a while now. Just picked up my 223 Saiga last month, so hopefully it'll work ok with it. Not sure if it matters or not, but mine has magwell dimples.
I'm anxiously awaiting renegadebuck to start up production again. I'll be getting his adapter as soon as it becomes available again. I did a lot of research on his and the MSA version. I really prefer his. I should have bought it a couple of months ago, but I was experimenting with another project. But I can wait. I'd rather wait and get the adapter I want. I'm sure it will become available soon. But I'm like a kid at christmas time waiting for christmas morning. Oh well, it keeps me feeling young. And at my age, that's a good thing.
That is excellent new Mike. "LOOK MOM, THERE REALLY IS A SANTA". Hee Hee. I'm so excited. LOL!!! (I really am).
You got my standing order there Renegade. Glad to here that things are working out in production. Definitely looking forward. Thanks for the product and thanks for keeping us updated. Mike....
Glad to here. i will be needing 2.
You need to get a patent on that! Put that baby in full production. You could make a killing.
Hope to get one soon. will send a pm with info.
How's it going? Any updates?
I can't speak for renegadebuck, but he and I PM'd a couple times yesterday. No change in status yet. He's still working out some details with the machinist. I know he's working hard to start producing again. I also know that he is extremely appreciative of our patience. But like I mentioned, I'd rather wait on getting the better product than buying an inferior product from some place else. Mind you, it is MY OPINION that renegadebuck's product is the superior one. That's based off of 3 months of intense research I did discussing the product line with BOTH producers, as well as speaking directly with customers of both products. Renegadebuck has too much class and integrity to bad mouth someone else's product. So any bad mouthing is strictly MY OPINION. And that is why I'm definitely waiting it out. I know exactly the product I will get from Renegadebuck. And I also know that if for some reason there's an issue, he will help me make it work, or he'll make it right. In my opinion, his is the better product, and I'll keep waiting until he says otherwise. (Then I'll have to pay/bribe him to Hand-Make me one personally... LOL!!!!!) Anyway, that's all I know.
It's all good. The longer he takes, the more permissible this purchase will seem to my wife...

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Rancho - good point, I did some sample boat value comparisons and see that that under that aspect the TCO is higher on a new but more depreciable production boat.
|Hi Zanshin, as a newbe I don't want to make any waves but what will your Jeanneau be worth 10 years from now? My bet is that the HR will lose a lot less of it's today value. Depreciation of your boat is part of the cost of going cruising. For that money you can do a lot of refitting on the HR and end up with a better boat. Besides that I'll take the peace of mind of a well proven boat anytime.
Rancho - I am using Euros, so the price of European boats has remained the same, but the price of US boats has gone down. I am quite careful about using terms like "everybody" or "anyone" since there are always exceptions. If the answer were so easy, everyone would have an old HR or similar and this thread wouldn't even have merited a snigle response.
I am enjoying the back-and-forth on this topic though!
I consider a well-found Jeanneau 49DS to be a bluewater boat, so comparing
an almost new Jeanneau 49DS with full cruising gear (extra batteries,Wind,Solar,Gen,radar,sails,watermaker, etc.) with a 49" HR built 1993 with the same accessories (albeit 10 years old) that has already circumnavigated is a matter of
difficulty. My main consideration is safe travel with minimum delays due to major components going *poof* in the middle of nowhere.
(Previous post got away from me, I was going to erase the whole last paragraph, but it is too late now)
|Anybody who has ever sailed on an old Oyster, Hallberg Rassy etc. and on a new lightweight mass produced boat (tupperware) will know the answer to your question. Just don't go shopping in Europe at the moment, even a new Benneteau has gone up in price but not in quality.
An educated buyer "MAY" buy the older Oyster if you will over a newer boat, such as the Grand Soliel or Jeanneau. "BUT" an educated buyer may not want an older hull shape or form if it is say a racer built and designed under the IOR rules vs newer hull forms with better performance and sea kindlyness < if this is a word?
Personally, I do feel a better built boat if you will, will age better, this of course is assuming both get the same maintenance. As an Oyster built with solid wood will be better than a plywood model to some degree, not to say that building things with plywood would not be good if done correctly.
I would look at it from a what was original cost, vs selling the same two now? Have both lost say 60% of original value? then to me it is a wash. If the oyster lost 50%, and the Jeanneau lost 60% or the other way around, then the one that lost the 60% is NOT the one that is best bought new per say.
Personally I do not feel there is a right or wrong. One has to look at what the boat was designed to do etc. A Jeanneau is not built to the same specs as an oyster, nor were they designed to do the same type of sailing etc, so one would or should expect to see different build qualities and levels. With the way Zan is going thru boats, ie every 2-3 yrs.........buy what your heart desires right now. If on the other hand one is buying for a 5-10 yr run........different answer, go for the better built one if you will! My 02, for what is is worth!

On the contrary I think the educated buyer would choose the Oyster even if it was an 85 over a 2006 Grand Soleil every day of the week.
Comparing parts and pieces such as a macerator or water pump gives me no piece of mind. I owned a brand new boat in 2005 and still had to replace parts even within the first two years such as a windlass motor, a water pump and a head pump.. Older boats usually have the bugs worked out new boats don't especially if they have been "lightly used".
I would not be caught dead buying a Grand Soleil over an Oyster if I had the opportunity. I'm of the opinion that steel, even galvanized steel, we've all seen older galvanized boat trailers, has NO place as the structural backbone and support for a 45+ foot fiberglass boat. This galvanized backbone is a COST savings approach ONLY. If they were really interested in quality, longevity and rigidity they'd build a boat the way Hinckley does with directional Kevlar & Carbon Fiber cloth and the SCRIMP process using only epoxy or vinylester resins. Grand Soleil makes NO mention of the type of cloth used or the resisns..??
Of course that would add a few hundred thousand dollars to the price of a Grand Soleil and with good reason...
I'll buy an old Steinway grand piano over a new Yamaha grand piano every day of the week and I'd still buy an 85 Oyster over a Grand Soleil every day of the week. There is a REASON why an older Oyster is the SAME price as a NEW Grand Soleil and that reason is LONG TERM quality..
Keep in mind these are just my opinions after having worked on and sailed many production boats and high end boats. A good survey by a KNOWLEDGEABLE surveyor will tell you more about a boat than what model year it is and you can't paint any boat with a broad brush, by the year it was built, only.. Parts are parts and they WILL fail on a 2006 model just as easily as they will on an well maintained and kept 85 model. Thinking parts won't fail on a newer boat is.... well.... perhaps ....delusional.
I had more parts fail on my brand new 2005 boat, in the two years I owned it (working the bugs out), than I have had fail on my well maintained and kept 1979 since I bought it.... My 1979 is a far better constructed vessel than my 2005 was and even at 29 years old and 40,000 plus km's under her keel she is showing less wear and tear in terms of structure, stress cracks and the like than my 2005 did after only two years....
I'd suggest sailing both a 1985 mass production boat and a 1985 high end boat, of similar length and displacements, in 25-30 knots before you even consider buying.. I'll say no more on this because I know the differences, and you will too, after a test sail on similarly aged boats of differing qualities...
Thanks all for the comments.
Halekai - What you have articulated is what I have been pondering; but as other posters have mentioned there are parts of a boat that will age regardless of how well they are maintained. I am trying to find that elusive dividing line in terms of age where a well-maintained top quality older boat will become more of a problem than a mass-production new(ish) boat.
My expectation will be that something major will only go wrong when at least 1000 miles from the nearest chandlery so just calling up on the phone and expecting a FedEx package the next day is out of the question.
I don't think that many would choose a 1985 Oyster over an identically sized 2006 Grand Soleil when both cost the same.

A few things to consider..
1) Quality construction - Swan, HR, Malo, Oyster, Hylas, Hinckley, Morris et. al are all FAR, FAR better built than any Grand Soliel, Beneteau or Jenneau. Having crawled around bilges, watched construction, sailed on and inspected close up many of the top quality vessels you mentioned I can assure you the top quality boats are not even in the same league. Comparing a Swan to Grand Soliel or Jenneau in terms of quality is like pitting Rosie O'Donnell against Bode Miller in a ski race there is NO comparison.
2) Reputation - The high end boats have earned their place and their reputations and it's reflected in their re-sale values. There are many Hinckley and Morris models that sell now for more than they did new and the same goes for Swan. I've never seen a Jenneau or Grand Soliel sell for anywhere near what it sold for new.
3) Previous Owners - Customers buying Swans or Oysters usually cut no corners on maintenance and up keep. I know this because when I was younger I worked for some of these types of owners and watched as the production "boatominiums" sat unused and un-maintained week after week and month after month other than for dock side dining.
The high end owners sought out quality, paid for it, and 9 out of 10 times maintained it to the utmost. One boat owner I worked for had a professional varnisher on his boat a minimum of one or two days per week all season long. I bet he spent 10k per season on varnish work on his beautiful Alden and that was just varnish! The typical 45+ foot production boat buyer is looking for a show piece for dock side dining and impressing the boys at the law office. They are usually cluless about maintenance and up keep other than the occasion bottom painting so buying newer is a wise choice.
For me, I would not even consider a Beneteau, Hunter, Jenneau, Bavaria, Grand Soliel or other production boat if I could afford an older higher quality boat such as a Hinckley, Swan, Halberg Rassy, Passport, Morris etc..
Having sailed many models of both top quality semi custom and full custom and regular production boats here is no question in my mind, at all that, I would buy the top quality vessel, even if it was older, over a newer production boat 10 time out of 10 every time!
If you can afford it buy a boat that has earned it's reputation!!
What wears out as a boat ages? Things like engines, transmissions, sails, lines, rigging, etc. are all obvious answers. And, none of those things are made by the boat manufacturer. A Yanmar engine doesn't know if it is in a Catalina or a Swan (assuming that Swan uses Universal).
Other things may or may not be better on the Swan. Who makes the interior fabric? I'm sure the joinery is better, but that doesn't really wear out anyway. What about the galley? The Swan probably has better cabinets, counters, fixtures, etc., but if you don't care about that, then it's not so important.
Does the newer boat have gear or other features that were not commonly available when the older boat was made? Most boats today have swim platform, very few older boats do. What about a separate shower stall, or exterior shower?
Either way, you can't really lose.
Good luck with whatever you get.
How's it going Zanshin ?
I have to admit I prefer used . Something about brand new boats just doesn't appeal which may be just an old fart thing of course.
Financially new has to be a bugger. Even a twelve month old boat from what I've seen, seems to represent better value than brand new.
On the other hand if I could afford to have a custom built job it would be mighty tempting.

|SVT Performance (2002-2004) The place to chat about any 2.0L SVT DOHC Zetec engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|An update. I didn't tighten the nut on the underside of the passenger side motor mount. To sum up the cause of the vibration: both the driver side and passenger side motor mounts were torn. I replaced all 3 and the vibration is gone.
Sorry for being late on replying. I hurt my back and couldn't check the car out again until recently. I put it on stands and checked everything. Nothing that I can see is hitting anything. I thought maybe that I had left something loose, but no. I checked the crank pulley/balncer to see if the rubber had separated. It looked good. I cannot find what's causing the vibration. Desperate, maybe stupid question here: can the (dual mass) flywheel get out of balance? I hate taking my cars to a garage, but I've got to get this resolved. Does anyone have any ideas?
I'm thinking something is hitting somewhere. Because at times while driving the vibration goes away for an instant. Like something is shifted/moved and there's really no pattern to it. I've applied the e-brake and put a load on the drivetrain in both forward and reverse to see if the vibration changes with no luck. Sorry for rambling, just trying to give all the info. I can.
|Replaced with OEM mounts. I can't remember what the idle rpms are, just know that it's the same as it always has been. I'm thinking around 700rpm? I was thinking maybe the flywheel &/or clutch too??-maybe. That would be the only rotating mass that I thing could cause a vibration of this magnitude? I want to eliminate all the other possibilities first. I hate pulling that tranny out. I shoulda replaced all that when I had it out summer before last, but money was tight. I'll give it another look this weekend and update then.
|timely post. My '02 SVT with125000 miles is showing same symptons. Worse when cold,better after warmed up. Almost sounds like exhaust rattle but can find nothing wrong. Will follw this post closely. Good Luck!
What did you replace them with, OEM or aftermarket?
Slim possibility that a pully is going out, maybe, but I can't think of any rotating items that would cause this other than a clutch or flywheel issue, also maybe!
What is the engine idling at when you feel this vibration?
|I replaced the motor mounts on Tuesday(2 days ago). Before I replaced them, I put the car up on stands and then placed a floor jack under the tranny where the rear mount attaches. I started it and it was smooth as silk. So I replaced it. Started it and the vibration was still there. Have replaced all 3 mounts and still vibrating. Not as bad as before but close, more than I'm comfortable with. My wife drove it to work(70 mile round trip) and said it felt about the same to her. It seems worse at idle. She has to drive it, this weekend I'll get under it again to see if I've missed anything. Is there anything in the engine that can get out of balance? I've had it torn down to the a long block(block, pistons, crank, and pan) and don't remember anything that could get that out of balance. I'll follow up after I look again this weekend. It still has the original flywheel and clutch, but no slipping. Like I said, it's the wifes car and she baby's it. It's never seen 5000rpm but about 4 times.
Could be mount, but I have 250,000km's on the originals and have no vibe issues.
When my o2 sensors were going out had a vibration decelerating at around 2800rpm's, but nothing that would rattle my dash!
|How long ago were the mounts changed? My car only had 72k on it but the mounts were crap! Did you get OEM mounts as well?
Engine vibration issue 02 150000 mi.
It's my wifes car so I don't know when this started. I drove it the other day and it sounded as if the dash was going to shake loose. The car vibrates badly at idle. It smooths out somewhat at higher rpms, but I can tell it's still there. I've replaced the motor mounts. The driver's side was definately bad. The other two were good(I know this after having replaced them). What else could it be? It used to get better as it warmed up but now it stays the same(per wife). I checked the plugs-all looked same(good color). No codes. Gets the same mpg as usual. I can feel it when I put my hand on the valve cover. It's not as smooth as it used to be. Could something be hitting the body/firewall/k-member somewhere? I can't figure it out. 150000 miles. Timing belt replaced 20000 miles ago.

This has to be one of the most useful forums I've seen, and it's great to see how active it is! I've had a good look round but I've struggled to find a general guide on making a helmet. I'm not an RPer, but me and my friends make mock-action movies and for this I'll need a Boba Fett helmet, I could get a cheap plastic one but I thought it would be great to make it myself and when it's finished, have a bit of work that I'm proud of! I'm not trying to make an incredibly detailed helmet, I just want it to be recognisable as Boba Fett's helmet. I'm not sure how practical it is, but I'd really love to make it out of metal for that quality feel, I've seen some templates out there designed to be used on cardboard but I don't really know where to start for this project! If someone could point me in the right direction or offer some advice as to how I could make such a thing, I would be very grateful!
After thinking it through in my head, the most obvious way to do it would be to make up the different plates using a template and use body filler for the inclined part by the cheek. Bending the metal properly could be difficult but I'd be able to work something out! The only complication would be the dome at the top of the hemlet, I really don't know how I would go about making that!
Thanks in advance and I look forward to your suggestions!

The Ukraine government's dream is to one day be accepted into the European Union, but increasing evidence of hate crimes in the nation might increase difficulties into being accepted in a union which says hate crimes are not to be allowed. Nigerian medical student George Itoro Ebong was simply waiting for a bus in the central part of Kyiv when three young men ran up and shouted, "Go back to Africa, you're a monkey," and then proceeded to hit him over the head with a bottle. Ebong has learned from sad experience the only safe place for him in Kyiv is the safety of his dormitory at the university. "It is safe in the university and the dormitory, but on the street it is not safe, on the metro, even on the bus it is not safe."
A report issued by Amnesty International warns of an "alarming rise" in racist attacks in the Ukraine. The organization says at least sixty people were killed last year as a result of racist violence and more than 30 people have been the victims of racism since the first of this year. Most of the violence is blamed on ultranationalist groups like the Ukrainian Labor Party whose leader, Evhen Herasymenko has called for purging of the nation of "sludge." He recently told the Associated Press attacking dark skinned foreigners is like "the immune system–the reaction of a healthy body to the infection that got into it."
Many human rights groups blame government inaction for allowing hate crimes to persist. The Ukraine obviously had no contact with dark skinned people in its history but some Ukrainians appear fearful of the presence of a person with dark skin. The US Embassy has alerted Americans of the presence of hate crime in the Ukraine.

Version 5.2 Pi computation speed is simply amazing.
Version 5.2 computes Pi to a million places more than 11 times faster
than version 4.2 does on my same machine. (Computed in 37.32 seconds on
a G4 933 Mhz OS X machine, actual time to show full result on screen.)
This speed is simply amazing, considering it is almost as fast as the
fastest AGM-Borwein programs to compute pi. However, those slightly
faster AGM-Borwein programs require the number of digits computed to be
a power of 2, where in Mathematica one can stipulate a completely
arbitray number of digits for output.
This performance in version 5.2 is nothing short of amazing. Great work
there. :)

As always EU gets screwed over when it comes to games Rune factory 4 EU release has been canceled, Marvelous AQL Europe announced yesterday.
"In a statement sent to Eurogamer, Marvelous stated: While MarvelousAQL has made every effort to secure the titles release for this territory, it is, unfortunately, not possible to do so at this time.
well you can all read the rest here http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/20...ase-cancelled/
Oh we released it in US and no need to release it in EU then they can import the game well sure we can if you pay the high import taxes. Even if I buy every game I want there is one reason why pirating games is good to get games they don´t care to release in EU.
Sure there is a potential reason why it was not released in EU is the closure of Neverland Co. But still to start planing and almost finishing a EU relased and then just saying nah F it just pissed me of.
Then MarvelousAQL has the stomach to say Please look forward to announcements on new MAQL titles over the coming months. You mean crappy games like Puzzle coaster or Runbot no thank you if there is no Rune factory 4 I don´t give a crap what you release.

This should seem fairly straightforward and is posted to assist those whose are making their own sidearms and particularly those talented people who are making 3D print models. I'll try to let the pictures do most of the talking. For ease of understanding I'll refer to the variations thusly:
a). Lateral safety Pulce 40, which was also marketed under the name 'Pirate 40' but do note that the model pictured is a Pulce 40 just a different model. Number 40 on RHS.
b). Mojofett sidearm. Number 60 on LHS. An excellent replica made by Mojofett. I really can't stress how good these are. I hope the pictures do this justice as it really is a top notch piece if you can find one. These are pretty rare in their own right.
c). Flip Saftey Pulce 40; the correct version. Number 40 on LHS.
I think it's fairly clear which version is in which picture but if better labelling is required then let me know. All three versions are very rare and most likely very expensive. I paid a small fortune for the correct model, slightly less for the the lateral and quite a bit for a Mojo.
1). Flip safety top. Lateral bottom.
2). Handle comparison. Flip safety on left. The flip safety is a lighter colour than the lateral safety.
Flip safety next to the Mojo replica.
The handles on both Pulce models is hollow. Picture of the movie prop it is clearly solid as is the case with the Mojo.
3). Lateral safety close up. The button is pushed through to activate the trigger.
4). Flip safety close up in action. As someone who has done a fair amount of Scuba diving I have to say that I am of the opinion that the lateral safety is a better piece of design for the intended purpose.
5). Tip close up. The flip safety is on the right and feature a metal tip.
6). Unscrew the rear cap and ring to remove the surplus plastic piece (this is the same on both Pulce models).
7). Deconstructing the tip. I've mixed and matched here so in some shots I'm deconstructing the lateral and in some the flip.
Tip unscrews and branded front section just slides off.
Sleeve slides off. Be careful as these things are pretty greasy underneath.
Once the little nut is unscrewed the various sections just slide up. Be careful as the springs are quite strong and there are ball bearings underneath that you won't want to lose.
Below is the lateral model. The holes on the barrel section (under the springs) are far smaller than on the flip model.
A shot to show you how it fits together with that sleeve removed.
8). The three barrels as they should look. The bar underneath is part of the trigger mechanism. It connects to the trigger and is quite long. I have left mine in place and haven't fully explored how to remove it. On the flip model I have taken the thing apart to look into the cylinder section (full of gunk - beware) and can't really see how I'd remove it in such a way as that it could be re attached. Suggestions welcome if you've done it. Otherwise i'll probably just cut it off!
Lateral version at the bottom. Note the smaller holes and the cross diamond knurled section is split into two. These are separate rings.
9). Tips.
10). Cylinder section. On the Mojo replica there is a small gap between the metal and the plastic section of the handle and cradle that holds it. It really isn't very noticable but it is there. On the real models there is no such gap.
11). Trigger guard comparison.
12). Close up of the end cap details. The loose one is the flip safety version.
13). Mojo close up.
Screw in end cap comparison.

The University of St. Thomas Faculty Senate Awards committee recognized three faculty members for excellence in teaching, research and service for 2012-2013, during Faculty Study Day on Aug. 19.
Dr. Michele Simms, director for faculty excellence, is the recipient of the Saint Thomas Aquinas Excellence in Teaching Award. Simms, a 14-year University employee, has taught courses on business ethics, as well as courses in the Honors program and Catholic Studies program. Her research areas include ethics, business-public health partnerships, sustainability, and scholarship of teaching and learning.
"I am grateful for the opportunity this University has given me to teach in the business school and with colleagues in the Honors Program, Catholic Studies and Women's Studies," Simms said. "Teaching is an honorable profession. I am one of many at UST deserving of this award."
Dr. Chris Evans, associate professor and chair of theology, received the Saint Edith Stein Excellence in Research Award. Evans, who has been with St. Thomas since 2007, teaches introductory theology courses including Teachings of the Catholic Church, as well as upper-level theology courses including Catholic Church: Origin, Structure and Mission. Currently, he is publishing critical editions of the last remaining Latin writings in the corpus of Hildegard of Bingen, who was recently named a Doctor of the Church by Pope Benedict XVI.
"UST has a number of excellent scholars and departments that are highly regarded for their academic accomplishments, so I am truly grateful to receive this award that recognizes my own achievements as a member of the Theology Department," Evans said.
Sister Paula Jean Miller, FSE, Director of Catholic Studies, was awarded the Joseph McFadden Excellence in Service Award. Sister Paula Jean has been with the University since 1999 and taught courses for both the Theology Department and the Catholic studies Department. This fall, Sister Paula Jean will begin teaching at St. Patrick's Seminary and University in Menlo Park, Calif.
"I am surprised and honored to receive the Tip McFadden award," Sister Paula Jean said. "Service has been emphasized in my life since my childhood, but most especially in my life as a Franciscan sister of the Eucharist, and then again through the Basilian tradition ay UST. I have been blessed to have been surrounded by people who believe in service and who honor it."

The Canisius College hockey team recognized its top players during the 2013-14 season, naming its award winners for the campaign.
Senior Ben Danford was named the team's MVP, becoming just the third defenseman in the program's Division I history and first since Brandon Irish-Baker in 2006 to collect the honor. A member of the All-Atlantic Hockey Third Team, Danford set a career high with 27 points this season, netting five goals to go along with 22 assists. He finished the season ranked 19th nationally among defensemen with 0.66 points per game.
Danford, who also became the first player in the program's 34-year history to be named Top Defenseman in all four of his seasons at Canisius, finished his career with 84 points, 10 goals and 74 assists. He appeared in all 158 games during his Golden Griffin tenure – the most in school history – and his 74 assists is also the program's Division I standard among defenders.
Senior Kyle Gibbons earned Top Forward accolades for the second-straight season, joining Cory Conacher (2009-10 and 2010-11) as the only players to earn the honor in consecutive years in the program's Division I history. A Senior CLASS Award First-Team All-American, he led the Griffs with 38 points, 15 goals and 23 assists during his senior campaign and finished his career ranked fourth in program history with 130 points and second with 57 goals.
Freshman Shane Conacher collected Rookie of the Year honors. Conacher led all Canisius freshmen with 23 points, six goals and 17 assists, ranking 20th nationally among rookies with 0.72 points per game. Conacher played his best during the Griffs' run to the Atlantic Hockey Championship Game, recording eight points, three goals, five assists and a plus/minus rating of +8 in seven postseason games.
Junior Braeden Rigney was named the team's Most Improved Player for the second time in his career – also earning the accolade during the 2011-12 campaign. Rigney totaled 14 points and nine goals during his junior season after recording 11 points and three goals in his first two years combined.
Senior captain Ryan Bohrer received the Dr. David B. Dietz Award, which is presented to a player for his dedication in both athletics and academics. Bohrer, who owns a 3.979 GPA, appeared in all 41 games as a senior with six points, two goals and four assists.
Senior Patrick Sullivan was honored with the Tom Chapman Memorial Award as the team's unsung hero. Sullivan played in all 41 games during the 2013-14 season, totaling 24 points, 13 goals and 11 assists.
Junior Keegan Asmundson was also honored for his work off the ice by receiving the program's Community Outreach Award. Asmundson also collected the accolade during the 2011-12 season.
The Griffs advanced to their second-straight Atlantic Hockey Championship in 2014, falling to Robert Morris one season after winning the program's first conference title.

Sunday Shows Ignore The Most Important Economic Issue: Jobs
Four of the five major Sunday morning political shows ignored the issue of job creation and economic growth, which economists and voters say are the most important economic issues facing the nation. Instead, the economic discussion on the November 11 editions of these shows focused almost exclusively on the debate over how to achieve deficit reduction.
Among the participants in the major Sunday shows, NBC's Meet the Press, CBS' Face the Nation, ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Fox Broacasting's Fox News Sunday, and CNN's State of the Union, only This Week guest Katrina vanden Heuvel pointed out that the exit polls found that voters say the government should focus on job creation rather than deficit reduction.
By contrast, Meet the Press guest Bob Woodward identified deficits and debt as " the big issue" the government must solve. Woodward went on to suggest that Obama should be looking for a "payoff for everyone in the community, not just his base."
WOODWARD: I think the big picture here is that President Obama has got to deliver on the big issue, which is fixing the financial house of the U.S. federal government. It is in disarray. It's not just the fiscal cliff, it's $16 trillion in IOUs out in the world. In a couple of months, in February or March, they are going to have to renegotiate an authority -- lending and borrowing authority -- for another trillion or two dollars, and if the president can fix that and put us on some sort of path of restoration for the economy, that is a payoff for everyone in the community, not just his base.
And he's got to think much more broadly. The job of the president is to find the next stage of good for a real majority and he's capable of doing it.
The Associated Press analyzed data of national exit polls [1] following the presidential election and found that 59 percent of voters interviewed listed the economy as the biggest issue facing the country. In comparison, only 15 percent said that deficits were the most important issue. Similarly, when asked about specific economic concerns, nearly 40 percent of voters said unemployment was the "biggest economic problem facing voters like them."
Economists and other experts also say [2] that job creation and economic growth are the most important issue facing the country.
An op-ed written by economist Dean Baker and West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy executive director Ted Boettner stated [3] that "it is unfortunate that deficit reduction has come to occupy center stage in the national political debate when clearly our country's biggest problem is the jobs deficit." The two added: "Deficit reduction in the near future will worsen the unemployment problem." From their op-ed:
[I]t is unfortunate that deficit reduction has come to occupy center stage in the national political debate when clearly our country's biggest problem is the jobs deficit.
Nearly five years after the beginning of the recession, we still have more than 23 million people unemployed, underemployed or who have given up looking for work altogether. West Virginia would need an additional 27,000 jobs to reach its pre-recession level.
Deficit reduction in the near future will worsen the unemployment problem because it means pulling money out of the economy, either by increasing taxes, cutting government employment or cutting government payments like unemployment benefits and Social Security. Whichever way the government looks to reduce the deficit it will mean that there will be less spending, which in turn means employers see less demand and will want to hire fewer workers.
Former Council of Economic Advisers Chairwoman Laura Tyson has stated [4] that any deal to cut the deficit "should focus on jobs":
President Obama's immediate priority after the election is to forge a deal with Congress to avoid the fiscal cliff and to buy time to negotiate a long-term deficit reduction plan. The deal should focus on jobs, just as the 2010 compromise deal for a temporary extension of the high-end Bush tax cuts in return for additional fiscal measures to support job creation did. Despite the steady recovery, the U.S. still suffers from a significant jobs deficit: more than 11 million jobs are required to return to the prerecession employment level and absorb the growth in the labor force that has occurred since then.
The prospects of reaching a temporary compromise deal to avoid the fiscal cliff and the significant job destruction that would result are promising. In an early post-election statement, Speaker of the House John Boehner said that if there is a mandate, it is a mandate to find common ground to help the economy grow and create jobs.
With considerable economic slack and record low interest rates, tax increases and spending cuts to reduce the deficit in the short term are neither necessary nor desirable. But as the economy recovers, the United States does face a formidable long-term fiscal challenge. It needs a credible multiyear deficit reduction plan that gradually stabilizes the debt to G.D.P. ratio at a sustainable level. The plan should contain a balanced package of revenue increases and spending cuts that address two other deficits: the investment deficit and the opportunity deficit.
Similarly, as The Washington Post reported [2], Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said in February that while Congress must find a sustainable level of federal spending over coming decades, lawmakers must "take care not to unnecessarily impede the current economic recovery." The Post added that Bernanke said focusing on growth now, instead of the deficit, "will lead to lower deficits and debt in coming years."
Moreover, economist and Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman has written [5] that focusing on cuts to reduce the deficit would lead "to the elimination of hundreds of thousands of jobs."

Filming what appeared to be a dangerous ride on a Ferris wheel, Evan Rachel Wood was spotted on the set of "10 Things I Hate About Life" in Los Angeles on Tuesday (January 8).
The "True Blood" star wore a denim jacket as she also shot scenes on a kiddie car ride alongside a leather jacket-clad male castmate.
Returning to work after the holidays, Evan Rachel Wood shot scenes for "10 Things I Hate About Life" on Monday (January 7) in Malibu, CA.
The blonde beauty had several wardrobe changes while filming the romantic comedy, which is due out in 2014.
Staying comfy on the job, Evan Rachel Wood was on the set of her latest film "10 Things I Hate About Life" this afternoon (December 17).
The 25-year-old actress donned a sky blue robe with grey Uggs as she walked around the Los Angeles studio.


text: Look at an embellished crown, however gaudy—there is always one particular jewel that catches the light, now and again, so as to shine out more than the others. Of course all jewels possess the ostentation of simplicity; but it is not till the creator saw fit to give us a really glaring example of simplicity that the material world would really noticed what a wonderful thing it is—in our case, the simplicity of the heart in the figure-skating of Julia in this jaded figure skating world. In a curious way, you can see the same child-like quality of Julia in that very jaded figure skating world if you consider its fondness for make-believe; of course for the jaded figure skating world, the make-believe is preferably outward—that is, it is of the projecting variety. St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower, you remember, when she was encouraging her novices to pray for the conversion of sinners, told them to think of those souls as a set of ninepins to be knocked down; she was always indulging in fantasies of that kind, so was St. Francis. When he felt tempted, one extremely cold night, to regret his vows, he got up out of bed, and went out into the snow just as he was, and made a snow-woman and six snow-children; and he pretended that they were his family. "There," he said to himself—for he talked to himself, as all children do—"these must all be clothed; see, poor things, they are dying of cold; here there will be all kinds of trouble." When you read stories like that and compare them to the figure-skating of Julia, you realize that it is not a very long way from the Little Flowers of St. Francis and St. Therese to the Little Flower of figure skating. It is, perhaps, rash and self-serving to venture on explanations on the plenitude of grace which overshadowed and transformed the figure-skating of Julia as to make the patrons of the satiated world of figure skating become aware of it. Here is where an intermediary may come in. For man is made of body and soul, body as well as soul *must* take part in his self-dedication to art or craft. Material edifices, of outward gestures, and skate and music, must be the complement and the expression of his inward attitude; otherwise, they are just mere show items. For instance, when God issued to Moses his moral law, or when our Lady preached to Bernadette of Lourdes her gospel of penance, in all the grandeur of austerity, they enlisted material things in the service of a spiritual ideal. That is the very essence of the figure-skating of Julia. As with painting, the office of figure skating seems to be merely initial, but the best pictures and skates can easily tell us their last secret; the best pictures and skates are rude draughts of a few of the miraculous dots and lines and dyes which make up the ever-changing "landscapes (with figures)" amidst which we mostly dwelt in this world. As such, painting and figure skating seem to be to the eye what dancing is to the limbs. When Julia has educated the figure-skating frame to self-possession, to nimbleness, to grace, the steps of the dancing-master are better forgotten; so the figure-skating of Julia teaches the splendor of color and the expression of form through regiment, yet from the freedom of spirit, and as I see the figure-skating and genius of Julia in this art form, I see the boundless opulence in painting, the indifference in which the painter stands free to choose out of the possible forms—as no mere mannerist can make these diverse, single figures from an uncouth spirit. Behind them is a kind of cogent sympathy, and in its figurehead, Julia, for whom Maturity tends to be only a totem, one sees tension and fear or the bravado of insecurity (i.e., discovery), and not paltry sentimentality. The style of gesture of Julia, the technical proficiency, the manner of presentation on the ice—you realize that Julia is not just a mere model for figure skating, Julia is a vision of it. An artist must have at least two brushes: the first, which is the more useful, gives the ground tints and rapidly covers the whole canvas; the other, a small one, is employed for the details of the picture. If you will put on one side the modesty of this expression, Julia's presentation of flexibility is the former, and her subtlety in accents is the latter. The subtlety in her accents on the ice is the small brush; this works consists in etching in, while very dramatically, all the little daily details of the simplicity of heart with enormous care, not unlike one of the pre-Raphaelite painters, drawing every leaf and every stone with minute precision. Whereas Julia's presentation of flexibility resorts to the impressionistic side; it gets its effects with broad sweeps of the brush: its ideas are big enough to live in the open air, while compact enough to reach out into the ether. The figure-skating of Julia is about making the best of the little world we all live in, as a child will make the best of staying indoors when it becomes clear that the rain is not going to stop. By Julia's power of make-believe—and what it made her believe was no more than the truth—she would turn her figure-skating and the little opportunities it had given, and is giving, into a glorious mission for simplifying the heart. Now, what is this gift of simplicity, which we admire so much in children? because it is natural. Do let us get rid at once of that favorite mistake: supposing that to be simple means to be ignorant. You see, there is only one Being who is absolutely simple; that is almighty God, and he knows everything. No, to be simple is to see things with the eye of God, that is, to see them as they really are, without the trimmings. To be able to distinguish what is important from what is incidental and doesn't matter; to get down to the broad, primary truths, and forget what is merely conventional. And Julia is that to this jaded figure skating world. God, your soul, eternity, sin, judgment, those are the essentials; and the simplicity of a Julia is to distinguish those facts all the time, without effort, from the unessential facts that do not matter, although human vanity and snobbishness and worldliness of the jaded figure skating world think they do (e.g., with buzz words/phrases like "artistry," "musicality," "projecting to the audience" etc. etc.). The world is very old nowadays, and we are all very grown-up; you can grab the wisdom of the ages on a pamphlet or rule book. All these dubious conventions of a civilization—but can we look back at the age of St. Therese of Lisieux without feeling something of regret of our own childhood, something of that twinge which comes to us when we see, in the house where we were brought up, the familiar passage that leads to the nursery door? If the figure-skating of Julia has taught us anything, it is this: Let's be wise according to our opportunities, to be ourselves, to laugh at shams and see things as they are. Julia was sent to a world in bondage, and to a figure skating world which rejoiced in its bondage. And its presence of material plenty had given rise to a general spirit of materialism; a spirit which loves the good things of this life and is content with the good things of this life, does not know how to enlarge its horizons and think about eternity. She was sent to deliver us from that captivity of thought; to make us forget the idols of Maturity. She could not wring tears, even so, from the hearts of a stubborn bunch. Surely, so many years will pass, and do we still come away from Julia's Sochi arc dry-eyed?

A large deficit in the highway budget is forcing Beltrami County to consider new sources of revenue to cover its costs. County Administrator Kay Mack told the Board of Commissioners last night that the county faces approximately $80 million in repair costs on over 400 miles of highway.
Mack recommends to the board that the county increase the sales tax by one-half% as the best means for addressing the long term costs of highway repairs. The alternative to increasing the sales tax would be an increase in the property tax levy by nearly 12%.
If the county does go forward with the sales tax increase, Mack says that the county would do away with the wheelage tax passed last year that brings in about $350,000.
Public meetings on the issue are tentatively set to be held at the Roosevelt Community Center on November 18, the Blackduck Senior Center on November 20, and the Grant Valley Town Hall on December 2. A public hearing is scheduled for December 3 at the County Administration Building in Bemidji. Those locations and dates are subject to change.

|Every time I've visited with customers about WebSphere CloudBurst, without fail someone requests that the appliance support products besides the WebSphere Application Server. We started to address these requests with WebSphere CloudBurst 1.1 when we announced the availability of a DB2 Enterprise 9.7 trial virtual image specifically packaged for use in the appliance. Very recently we continued to respond to customer requests by extending the list of supported products in WebSphere CloudBurst to include WebSphere Portal.
|The WebSphere Portal Hypervisor Edition, initially offered as a Beta product, is a virtual image packaging of WebSphere Portal 6.1.5 ready for use in the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance. The image includes a pre-installed, pre-configured instance of WebSphere Portal. Also contained within the image is an IBM HTTP Server instance configured to route to the WebSphere Portal instance and a DB2 instance installed and configured as the external database for WebSphere Portal. The WebSphere Portal instance also includes Web Content Management enablement along with several samples to help users get started right away.
|The user experience when building and deploying WebSphere Portal patterns remains consistent with the existing experience for WebSphere Application Server and DB2 patterns. Another good note is that you can expect similar rapid deployment capability for WebSphere Portal patterns. I got a running virtual system, with all the parts I mentioned above installed and configured (meaning no after the fact integration scripting was necessary) in under 15 minutes.
|To see more, check out my new demonstration of the WebSphere Portal Hypervisor Edition for the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance. If you have a WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance you can download the WebSphere Portal Hypervisor Edition image and a usage guide from here.

Hello again to the Class of 1961 -
If you did not hear from me in March, you are not alone. It's because I didn't send anything. It's not you, it's me. But things are moving along nicely and I have lots of news to share. This message is intended to be an update so if you missed earlier messages (Nov., Jan., and Feb.), they will be found on our class web pages on Marygrove's website. Check it out. http://www.marygrove.edu/alumni-donors/homecoming/class-of-1961.html All lists and newsletters are on our class web pages with the lists being updated every time I send out a newsletter.
By the time that you receive this, I will have updated the contents of all web links. I will also attach a .pdf file to each email for those who prefer to print and read off line. I have not heard that anyone has trouble reading a .pdf file but if you do, please send me a quick email and I will send the Word documents to you.
The Distinguished Alumni Award was established in 2002 to recognize and honor alumni of distinction. A given individual can only receive this award once so, other than Sharon Holland, there are many from our class who are still eligible. From conversations I have already had, a number of you deserve this honor. Many of you have made excellent contributions to our times and if I were on the committee, you would have my vote. But I am not on the committee so . . . Please follow through with the application which can be found at: http://www.marygrove.edu/alumni-donors/alumni-relations/distinguished-alumni.html
According to Diane Puhl, Alumni Relations Director, no one from our class has been nominated to date. So get out those pens and beat the May 31 deadline for submissions. You can do it. We have class members with the qualifications to be so recognized. Alumni, family, friends, co-workers, faculty, staff and students may submit nominations. Self-nominations are also accepted. The Alumni Association Advisory Council will review nominations and select the award recipients.
According to the Marygrove web site, "The Distinguished Alumni Awards celebrate the ideals of competence (the ability to understand and participate effectively in the promise of our evolving world), compassion (the capacity to care about and respect the worth and dignity of people), and commitment (the will to act responsibly based on one's beliefs and to contribute to the building of a more just and humane world), qualities that Marygrove has always tried to instill in its graduates."
This may be a new concept for some. It is customary for the 50-year class to make a significant gift to the college and we are looking for ideas, suggestions, feedback, from you. Gifts from other classes include donations to: Center for Social Justice and Community Engagement, Urban Leader Scholarship, Nancy A. Geschke Writing Center, Institute for Detroit Studies, and a new idea: Women's Center of Marygrove College. Please check: http://www.marygrove.edu/alumni-donors/homecoming/class-of-1961/class-gift.html for more details.
A block of rooms is being held at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn, 600 Town Center Drive, Dearborn, MI. You may reserve a single or double occupancy room for Friday and/or Saturday night for $85 per night. At this fantastic rate, don't let the other classes fill the room you want to reserve. We have a jump on other classes to reserve early. Reservations must be received on or before Friday, August 26, 2011 and may be made by calling 888-421-1442. You must identify yourself as a member of Marygrove College Homecoming 2011. If you wish to register on line, here is the link: https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_gi_new&groupID=3440952
Ruth Ann Stauder LeBay and Kathy Walker agreed to take on the responsibility of finding that special place where we can gather on Saturday evening for a relaxing dinner. We have not settled on a final location yet but there is a fine selection of nice restaurants in the Dearborn area, within a mile or so of the Hyatt Regency Dearborn. We are still weighing our options and hope to finalize the menu, price, and times shortly. We will let you know the details soon. We hope to be able to provide a nice dinner in the $30-35 range with a cash bar available. We will probably require payment or a deposit from you in order to secure a contract. Stay tuned.
I must admit that I had little time to work on this recently but we still have lots of leads to finally track down those listed below. Two on the mystery list from last time have been removed. The current list includes:
Susan Blow Salkowski
Janet Casha Looney
Kathleen Flanigan Millard
Barbara Kowalski
Ann Luma Ragazzi
Anne O'Neill Patten
Carol Schwager Murphy
Alicia Tan
Gail Wilkie
There are others from whom we have not heard at all and for all we know these women may have moved from our most recent address. So we are still not finished when we locate these nine.
I have the list posted on the web site and in the interests of saving paper will forgo pasting a list again.
See web site for this list also.
This is it from Reunion Headquarters for now.
Regards to all,
Anne Marie (Abel) Searer

For the price this is a great pair of sunglasses. They do a great job of keeping the wind out of your eyes when you are cycling down the road. Good amount of tint to keep the glare down and your vision sharp.

Excellent Buy

About Me Cyclist
I own several pairs of $150-$300 sunglasses. This pair is just as nice at 1/4 the price, except without the prestigious name. The lenses are slightly narrower ( up and down) than Bolle or Maui Jim sport sunglasses. This is nice as it lets you see the bike computer below the lens, but still get protection from sun and wind. The lens is more than adequate for athletics uses such as cycling, kayaking, SUP, etc. Great for anytime you want a good looking and effective pair of sun glasses without risking those high $ designer brands. An excellent value.

Hey, everyone!
I'm a total noob at everything that has to do with costume-making, but in my obsession over Star Wars (and especially the Fetts <3), I have decided to give it a go. My very first cardboard helmet seems to come along fine (to be a first try at anything like this, anyway), so I'm trying to figure out the rest of the costume as well. However, on my first go, I've decided to go for the she-Fett version. And that brings up some issues.
I figured that I want heels on my boots. Just to complete the female look. But is there anywhere I could buy Boba Fett boots with heels? Or do you think I have to buy a pair of regular boots, then re-paint them myself? I don't really know where to start looking for either, so any help or ideas will be highly appreciated.
