NEWTON, Mass. - Duke junior Amanda Jones netted a career-high five goals and Duke survived a late-game scare from Boston College to edge the Eagles 14-11 in ACC action Saturday afternoon at Newton Campus Lacrosse Field. The Blue Devils improve to 10-2 on the year and 3-1 in conference games, while the Eagles fall to 8-5 overall and 1-4 in the ACC.
"This is our third weekend on the road in a row and I'm pleased that we were able to come out of here with a win against a very good Boston College team," head coach Kerstin Kimel said. "In every game, there are good things you learn about your team and also things you learn you can do better, but we took a lot of good things out of the game today."
Jones tied her previous career high of three goals by the end of the first half and added two more scores in the second frame to lead all players on the day. The Maple Glen, Pa., native has registered back-to-back hat tricks for the first time in her career as eight of her 14 goals this season have come in the past two games.
"In every game, we've had somebody different step up and today was Amanda's day to do that," added Kimel. "Without her we wouldn't have won this game. I think that is a great thing for our team that we have a lot of people who are threats and [the opposing team] has to worry about a lot of different people."
In addition, Kat Thomas added three goals for her seventh hat trick of the season, while Emma Hamm and Sarah Bullard notched two goals apiece. Virginia Crotty led Duke with two assists, her fourth multi-assist game in 2011.
To start the game, Duke found itself in an early 2-0 hole after Boston College capitalized on a couple Devil turnovers to start the opening period. However, the Blue Devils would respond as Thomas put Duke on the board at 24:48 with a quick goal in transition. Just over a minute later, Jones registered her first goal of the game to pull the Blue Devils even with the Eagles at 2-2. Jones gave Duke the lead 45 seconds later off a pass from Crotty, but Boston College tied things up at three with 19:04 to go in the half.
Bullard, who saw her first action after missing the past seven games due to injury, gave Duke the lead for good at the halfway point of the first stanza. Duke pushed its advantage to two goals on a Thomas score, but the Eagles pulled within one a minute later. Yet Duke was able to close out the period on a 3-0 run to take an 8-4 lead into the intermission. Bullard registered her second goal of the game to start the run and Jones netted a fast break goal at 7:51 before Thomas capped off the run at 2:36 off an assist from Hamm.
Duke began the second half where it left off as Kim Wenger won the draw and found Jones open for Duke's ninth goal of the day just nine seconds into the second half. But Boston College clawed back into the contest, scoring the game's next three goals to pull within two with 27:18 left to play.
The Blue Devils appeared to have weathered the storm, extending their lead to 12-7 at the 19:47 mark with two goals from Hamm and a tally from Jones, but the Eagles made another run at Duke, cutting the Devil lead to 12-11 with 3:12 to play.
After a Devil timeout, Hamm was able to win the ensuing draw, which set up a Christie Kaestner goal, her 25th of the season, with just over two minutes remaining. The Eagles gained possession on the next draw, but Wenger caused an Eagle turnover behind the Duke cage to secure the victory for the Blue Devils. Caroline Spearman scored her first goal of the season with just seconds on the clock to bring the final score to 14-11 in Duke's favor.
Overall, the two teams were even at 13 draw controls each. Duke held the advantage in shots, 27-22, and committed a season-low seven turnovers in the contest.
The Blue Devils next travel to Providence, R.I., tomorrow Sunday, April 10 to take on Brown at 1 p.m.

Finally lost weight
Couldn't lose weight despite excellent diet and exercise regime for 5 years. Started taking 2 banaba each day and continued with same diet and exercise and have lost 30 pounds in 3 months. I literally watched the pounds fall off. Threw out the fat pants and feeling great about myself again. By the way, 3 different doctors suspected insulin resistance but never confirmed it.

Diabetes Control

I am a type 2 diabetic and was intially told I needed to take insulin at the time I was diagnosed. I opted for diet and exercise before going to insulin. I discovered from my research that banaba was used in the far east for diabetes and decided to try that. I have lost weight, watch my diet, and take the banaba daily as my only "pill." My A1C has been between 5.2 and 5.7 for four years now. Can't say for sure it was the banaba, but I don't want to change what works.

I have tried several "cures for weight loss" however none seem to work. I have been using Banaba Leaf and am pleased. It does cure the munchies and has helped me to lose weight. Not as fast as I would like however the slower I take it off the longer I will keep it off. Within 3 months I have lost 18 pounds. It is worth trying.

Lowers my blood sugar and is very reliable. A great product. It takes about a week or to get into your system. The downside is that if I run out, it takes a while for the capsule to take effect again. I plan have at least two extra bottles on hand.
Results seem noticably positive so far

After reading some of the other promising reviews, I figured I'd give Banaba Leaf a try for aid in losing some weight. I started a controlled diet program on Jan 9, and the results were at best, a pound a week -- up until I started this product..I seem to be getting double the pleasure now. I take 1 cap 2 times daily either during or right after lunch and dinner. I am also monitoring my sugar intake, which I believe is also contributing to my efforts, too. Give it a whirl, at $12 a bottle, it's certainly worth a try. And their are no side effects..I'll definitely keep supplementing with this one.

Defined Social Contexts and Perspectives
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  social_context social_perspective 1 Comment 2,489 Views
I'm trying to determine what would be the best way of describing the following concept:
- a recurring or common scenario of how people gather together in any size of population from small pairings to very huge communities
- who can post, provide input
- who can see/use/take the output
- how long it exists, who determines that
I simplified the factors above but it gives a general idea. Some examples are: a person's social network, a group activity, an instant messaging session, a long-term community, a mass collaboration like Digg, etc.
I started thinking about it as a social perspective or how people see it in a visual sense. We've also been talking about it in terms of social context which separates out the visual element and away from a focus on a beneficiary group, towards an abstract notion.
My thought is that there are a limited number of well known types of social contexts/perspectives that I've seen repeatedly across many sites. However, people don't necessarily know which one they are because they don't know the general idea versus specific examples (like how I listed Digg above). Once you can tell which social context/perspective your site has, or even multiple ones, you can then go on towards explaining what the other elements of it are.
Which do you think makes more sense or rings better to you?

Borderline or Bipolar?
The Eternal Footman --see photo above-- commented on Mood Disorders 101; he (footman, so it's a he, right?) asks:
Okay, I'm going to add one more thought and then I'll shut up. Borderline Personality Disorder is a condition that includes "affective (=mood) instability" and the differentiation between a personality disorder and a mood disorder can be difficult even for experienced psychiatrists.
...raised another question which is: Is there any one or two key symptoms/behaviors that clearly differentiate Borderline Personality Disorder from any one of the mood disorders?
Great question. Easy Answer: No.
Okay, but you inspired a post, so I'll elaborate. How does a psychiatrist differentiate, sometimes unsuccessfully, the diagnostic quandary of mood disorder versus borderline personality disorder? They both entail mood instability and behavioral indiscretions, especially impulsive behaviors during manic and hypomanic episodes, and the results of these illnesses can both result in chaotic lives.
So in my shrinky mind, I'll start with the issue of chronicity and overall quality of life. Someone's trekking along just fine (it doesn't matter when or for how long).... they have a life pattern of being able to work and to love, and suddenly they get zapped with a depression and things start falling apart-- they don't want to socialize, they don't want to work. At some point, with or without treatment, the episode ends and they go back to their regular old life. This person doesn't have borderline personality disorder, they have had an episode of depression. Oh, but we've already said that there a people with chronic depressions which are less easily defined into distinct episodes, and it appears their may be people with bipolar disorder, especially bipolar disorder type II, who spend much of their time cycling into and out of depressions and hypomanias, and they all kind of blur together. The chaos of it all is rather disruptive, and during these not-quite discrete episodes of hypomania, they engage in all sorts of impulsive behaviors: promiscuity, drug use, indiscriminate spending, gambling, fighting.
Simply put, if life is a constant episode of chaotic behavior, if the patient is unable to maintain employment, is often the center of dramatic upheavals regarding interpersonal relationships ( or drama with everything else), if the patient can't maintain some semblance of romantic relationships or friendships and is always struggling with co-workers and employers, then a psychiatrist is going to label this a personality disorder. And to be totally blunt, if this same patient repeatedly threatens suicide in a way that garners the troops, or cuts themselves because it relieves psychic pain, then a psychiatrist will label this Borderline Personality Disorder. If the patient is repeatedly painting pictures of people in black and white-- one moment someone is all good, the next they are all bad, or everyone is one color with no shades of gray, and if he manages to frequently pit the people in his life against one another, well, a psychiatrist is still going to label this Borderline Personality Disorder. Good or bad, right or wrong, that's currently how it goes. The label has a pejorative edge, as if the patient should just grab hold of themselves and stop doing this. These patients often are difficult to deal with, they ask a lot of their physicians and they often get angry at the docs who are trying hard to help them. They may push up against the shrink in such a way that the shrink gets uncomfortable, feels a need to set up clear boundaries, and these boundaries feel rejecting to the patient, who now has one more data point in seeing how everyone is mean to them. The patient may well not see that they had a role in inspiring the reaction. "I need you..." their behavior says, " and you shouldn't be pushing me away." There may be little insight that they are asking too much, that the shrink feels overwhelmed, over-wanted, pushed against the wall in uncomfortable ways.
And the other issue, not for today, is that sometimes psychiatrists label people they don't like with personality disorders rather than taking a careful look at their own roles in interactions that struggle. Diagnostically, the label is a vague one, and it means more than an isolated personality clash...again, for another day.
So the chronic, chaotic, interpersonal issues point more towards a personality disorder than a mood disorder. Self-mutilating behavior (as opposed to suicidality) is not a symptom of mood disorders. And while people with manias may wreak all sorts of havoc, it's an episode, not a lifestyle.
So here's the next question: Does it matter?
There are mood disorder experts out there who will say that if you take people with these chaotic stories, re-think them as having chronic and rapid-cycling mood disorders, and treat them with medications to stabilize their mood, they do better and sometimes the chaos calms down.
There are personality disorder experts out there who say they've never met anyone with borderline personality disorder who doesn't, at least episodically, have a co-morbid mood disorder.
So, I suppose if you're going to say it's Borderline Personality Disorder and the only treatment is long-term intensive psychotherapy and there's no role for even trying medications or considering the possibility of addressing issues of mood or anxiety, then perhaps the treatment options have been kept narrow and uncreative. If therapy alone isn't helping, the patient might consider another opinion. And if meds alone aren't working, then maybe some therapy is in order.

Like I said before, the front struts are the Monroe 90011 conversion kit. If they don't fit the car, that means Monroe's website is wrong, RockAuto is wrong, Amazon is wrong, pretty much every other auto parts shop is wrong, and a bunch of people on here are wrong. And if there is a spacing difference, then anyone who's used this strut kit before on a 97 Eldo (or any other car that the kit fits) as an OEM replacement and with original springs would have the same problem, yet I can't find any other complaint of this happening on here, or anywhere else on the web. I HAVE read a post where someone said their overall ride height was increased about 1'' after installing Monroes (F & R), and that would be fine for me, but the nose-high stance that my car currently finds itself in is unacceptable.
EDIT: I just got off the phone with the shop's head mechanic, and he said the new struts were fine. They compared with the old ones and were identical except the OEMs were gas charged while the Monroes were of a more basic (oil-filled ??) design (don't take that last part as gospel because I might be misquoting him).
EDIT: They don't have them anymore.
I had a complete oem redo of the entire suspension on my ELDO 98 F1 system including springs and compressor. According to the Helms specs, the will be a downward slope(rake) to the front. With the new OEM springs installed, there is 2 1/2inches front and 2 3/4 inches rear gap between painted wheel well and top of tire. And that is not supposed to be adjustable. You can adjust the leveler in back to go up, but I think once you have the weight on the springs the height won't go down with out more weight and that will activate Leveler control
The 2 1/2 inch front and 2 2/3 inch rear gap is EXACTLY what my '97 STS has (I am in the garage now, just measured).
My STS has OEM struts (replaced ~5 years ago) and original springs.
Thanks for the info. I just measured and I've got 2 1/2 inches in the rear and 4 inches in the front. The head mechanic did say that perhaps there's a problem with the ELC in the rear which is causing the upward slant so they'll check that out. They've also printed out the ride height specs from GM to compare with. Guess we'll see.
If the rear was too low, and the front at normal ride height, there would be an "upward slant" and the problem would be the ELC system and sagging rear springs.
You have an upwards slant, because the rear ride height is correct, and the front is too high.
It is impossible for the ELC system to increase front ride height.
You don't have to be familiar with these cars to understand the physics behind that. I think you need to start looking for another shop after they fix this problem.
The ELC has minimal (if any) influence to the front ride height.
If the rear is too high then some (small amount) of the vehicle weight will shift towards the front thus the front will lower a bit (you won't be able to see it by looking at it).
If the ELC is too low then some of the vehicle weight will move towards the back thus the front will rise a bit (again we are talking about 10" in the rear and 1/16" in the front).
The key the original springs were installed on the car and there are no spacers and such installed and the distance between the lower spring pocket and the mounting holes are the same between the original struts and the aftermarket ones. I do remember ~2 years ago a member with a red '96 STS had the same issue after installing some aftermarket struts, not sure the brand (his goal was to lower the car among others).
So I just got back from the shop. They had the car all of 30 minutes.
They measured the ride height vs. the GM specs and determined that the rear was near exact, but it's riding between 3/4 of an inch and and inch high in the front. They couldn't find anything wrong with the front. However, they did say that when they installed the rear shocks last week, that the ELC compressor never kicked on, and they had to manually pump air into the system (wish they had told me this last week). I checked the ELC fuse, and that's ok, so it looks like I've got a bad compressor. They said they couldn't fix that, and I'd have to take it to a stealership.
My new question is how essential is it that I get the ELC fixed? They told me the current sate of my car shouldn't hurt anything, and it wasn't worth worrying about unless I noticed the rear settling. I've never driven with rear seat passengers, and rarely carry anything in the trunk heavier than a load of groceries. With the compressor non-functional, is the rear basically now a closed system and should maintain it's current height, or will air slowly bleed out and settle the rear?
Still getting no codes. Not sure if a bad compressor is supposed to throw a code or not.
Bad rear compressors typically throw a code (almost bought a '00 SLS once with bad rear compressor; can't remember code now) but I don't think it will hurt the car if you don't have the compressor replaced right away. The rear will just sag with any kind of weight back there that the ELC would typically compensate for.
Non F45 cars (like the OP's) won't throw a code, the system is not monitored with the data line, is just a simple time delay relay controlling the ELC compressor and exhaust valve.
To OP, forget about ELC, sure is not working and all this, but you have issues with the front side of the car, so you are barking at the wrong tree.
Sure there is nothing wrong with the car, heck is better off road, but on the other hand is higher center of gravity so not good at high speeds.
Now hearing they pumped the system without telling you the compressor is not working (or they can't figure it out), well that's one minus for the shop. I guess is the kind of shop is assuming you just want the wheels to spin and that's it (like 95% of the people).
This shop sounds pretty ridiculous. At this point I'd ask them who they'd like to pay to diagnose the problem, or if they're insured.
Yeah, I'm pretty much done with them. They're too far away anyways. Sucks that they came highly recommended. Oh and the initial issue that caused me to have this work done in the first place (intermittent squeaking in rear suspension) is back. It appears that in the week since I had the new shocks / struts installed, the rear has settled a bit (was too high, now is at spec), but this also brought back the squeak. My guess is that they overcharged the shocks, and the ELC bled off the excess. Now my options are to find a new random shop that may be incompetent and lie to me, take it to the stealership which may be incompetent and lie to me and will charge me a s*&t-ton (but at least is convenient), or do nothing.
I think at this point I'm going to do nothing.
Currently, my car is riding a bit under an inch high in the front, at spec in the rear, squeaking in the rear, and may have a bad compressor. The good news is that with the new shocks & struts, the ride quality is much better than it was. I think I'll just drive it for a while and see if the rear drops below spec, and if so, I'll take it to the stealership. No clue what to do about the front. It seems that it is what it is.
Thanks for all of your help.
There's clearly something wrong. I would not ignore it.
Not only is the center of gravity off, thereby making the car more unstable at speed, but there may be other
parts that will be effected due to incorrect suspension geometry. :bomb:
I'd take it back to the clowns in mechanic's suits and demand they make it right.
Send the struts back and get a new pair..........something.
There's got to be a wrong part somewhere.
Yup, well the clowns are too far away and I can't take any more days off of work for this.
The stealership's got it as I write this. We'll see what their certified techs have to say.
I'll post the resolution in case it ends up helping someone else. I will not post what I end up paying them, due to embarrassment (gonna be ex-pen-sive).
A fool and his money are soon parted. :(

Gael Clichy believes the perfect way for Emmanuel Adebayor to answer any remaining critics is to simply find the net.
The full back was speaking after Arsenal's 4-0 victory over FC Twente in midweek when a minority of the Emirates Stadium crowd give the striker a luke-warm reception as he replaced Robin van Persie after 64 minutes.
"It is difficult for the fans," admitted Clichy. "But I am sure if he starts scoring and in December is on 15 or 20 goals, everything will be fine.
"The big thing is to feel you are wanted from your club, your manager, your team-mates and the fans.
"It was a big disappointment for them to see what happened during the summer. But Ade is a big, big player and last year he showed he has the quality to be one of the best in Europe.
"We just have to be behind him."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

Pop-rock band Chasing Chance gets plenty of time to practice as the members juggle their schoolwork; they all are students at Utah Valley University.
Lead singer and guitarist Chance Young, 24, is a junior. Bassist and backing vocalist Nick Dutson, 24, is a senior. Drummer Jared Shepherd, 24, is a senior. Keyboardist Tyler Pearson, 18, is a freshman.
Shepherd, Dutson and the band's former lead guitarist had played in a band together at Delta High School. After taking two years off, they decided to get back into music. Young just happened to room with Dutson, and Shepherd lived up the street.
Coming up with a name was more difficult. The band was tossing around ideas and started making fun of Young, Dutson said, "because he had some crazy girls chasing him."
He continued: "We all stopped for a second and realized that though it's not all about Chance, we really did want to chase our chance at making music our career and make the best of it."
The band, which sounds like Blink-182, talked to The Tribune about inspiration, memorable experiences and food.
What inspires you and what doesn't inspire you?
Pearson • Creating music, the beauties of the Earth, Christ, my family, listening to ambience. I cannot think of anything that does not inspire me.
Young • A lot of my inspiration for music comes from the people with whom I spend most of my time. I also like to write about things that happen that I think are funny and could make clever lyrics.
Dutson • I try to find the best in whatever situation I happen to be in and have found that inspiration comes much easier that way. I can be all alone in a room or in my car and be inspired with a sick beat or a riff or a lyric. I can also find inspiration while talking to others, watching movies, sports, concerts. There are inspiring things everywhere.
What is your most memorable experience playing music?
Pearson • I was playing in a high-school honor band, and at certain points in the songs, everyone was playing everything correct[ly] and in time and I could actually feel the music being created.
Young • I love playing in a band and some of my most memorable experiences have been the times that we are all playing great and the music sounds fantastic. That is always my favorite, because you feel good about it and the people hearing it can get into it and they can sing and dance along with you! I love it when people sing along with me.
Dutson • When I was playing in a band in high school, we went to a battle of the bands in Ely, Nev. Yeah, we don't know why either. When we got there, it was at an airport and the bands were just lined up next to each other and the fans sat out on the runway on lawn chairs. I was sick and all the bands before us were terrible. There was even a 50-year-old guy and his wife playing the fiddle. When we got up and played our first song, the crowd came alive and started dancing and taking pictures and going crazy. We sold more merch and signed more autographs after that show than I think I have at any other show.
If you had a tour rider listing what kind of food, drink and other requests you would want backstage, what would they be?
Pearson • Lemon juice and a lot of water.
Young • Well, first off, I want food. Lots and lots of food. Like pulled pork and mashed potatoes with some nice vegetables. And, of course, dessert. I would also want an Xbox 360 and a big-screen TV, so I would not get bored. A girlfriend would also be nice.
Dutson • Food. Tons of food. Not crappy fast food either. All of my favorite meals would be split so each night on tour I got something great. I would also have tons of drinks. I think I'd also put in a few things just for fun like a dog or a go-kart, just to keep things fun.
Describe a perfect day.
Pearson • Spending time with the people I love the most.
Young • Sleep in 'til 9 a.m. Wake up to a big German pancake breakfast. Go ride my motorcycle for a few hours, go skydiving, watch an All Time Low concert. Have a huge lunch. Hang out with my friends and family. Play a show for 10,000 cheering fans. Massive dinner with all my loved ones. Stay up late hanging out with all my friends.
Dutson • There are way too many things that I would want to do to make it perfect and there is just not a possible way to get them all in. Things that I would like to do would include traveling to foreign countries, going on a cruise, rappelling, skydiving, bungee jumping, race-car driving. I would like to have all of my best friends there and, of course, lots of girls. If there was any way to do all of that, and then come home and hang out with my family, it would be the best day.
What kind of music-related technology do you use on a regular basis?
Pearson • Pandora, Spotify, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Audacity, Facebook, last.fm.
Young • I use Pandora occasionally. I like listening to the radio as well, but my favorite source to find new music is through friends. It is fun to see what they listen to and see what inspires them and why. I like the more personal aspect of music.
Dutson • I use Pandora fairly frequently and Twitter, too. Facebook is by far my No. 1 source for everything. Myspace is kinda dead and I haven't really gotten into Spotify yet, though I hear good things about it.

Chasing Chance
The band plans to release a full-length album by April. For now, a four-song EP is available for free if you request by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2014
Be happy. What better directive than that? Sure, for most of us, most of the time it's maddening—it's not that simple!—and yet, leave it to Carolina Herrera to remind us why it doesn't have to be. A good dress, a fun print: What more, when it comes to fashion at least, do you really need?
This season, Mrs. Herrera brought pleasure through bees. In addition to simply getting a kick out of the pun ("bee happy," she says with a laugh), she's always wondered about the bug she often meets while working in her garden. "I'm fascinated by the beautiful stripes of the bee and life of the beehive," the designer said.
And so they swarmed her pre-fall collection. Simple line drawings of the winged creatures, against a blood orange background, appeared on crisp day suits and dresses. Embroidered in raspberry thread, they hovered around lotus leaves on a three-quarter-sleeved jacquard coatdress, slim at the waist with a full, knee-length skirt. Tiny versions, barely perceptible as bees from a few feet away, were scattered across the baby blue of a classic Herrera strapless evening number, and on diaphanous silk dresses with flutter sleeves, the little insects climbed across lime green honeycombs.
There was plenty for the melissophobe, too (didn't you always want to know the term for fear of bees?), like solid-colored sweaters with fur trim and long pants in softly rendered tweed.
It was a very pretty and lighthearted collection to be sure, as is Mrs. Herrera's way. Even the most stubborn grump couldn't have resisted the whimsical beaded bee brooches and bee cookies offered on silver platters.


text: My first pair of skates - and to date, my only pair - are a pair of Jackson Elites that were just over a year old when I bought them second-hand from a lady whose daughter had outgrown them. They have done me three-and-a-bit years so far, and done everything I've asked of them...until now. Here's my only problem: I don't feel like I can justify shelling out $400-$500 on new boots. (And that's if I buy them overseas...) I'm approximately 5 feet 8 inches (or 9, I've never been good at conversions) but my weight is the real problem when it comes to boot stiffness. Let's just politely say I'm over 200 pounds. That is in the process of being rectified but for now that's what I'm working with. I'm half-tempted to try the Premiere or the Freestyle. I'm currently working on my Lutz and hope to be working on the Axel within the next year or two.

I read this article in the paper yesterday, and I thought it was interesting: http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_22558201/cutting-child-abuse-colorado-by-half-will-require-home
There are two parts to this program, which sends nurses and social workers into the homes of at-risk families. The first group of families, I'm completely on board with: Those who have already been reported to CPS and accused of child abuse. It makes sense that following up on these families would help stop future abuse.
The second group, is what I want to debate: Sending nurses into the homes of young, first time mothers who have never been accused of abuse.
This makes me uneasy. Not all young mothers abuse their children. And if they were going to, would having a nurse come into their home once in awhile really stop that abuse from happening? This seems like a waste of resources, and a violation of privacy for those who have done nothing wrong. Thoughts?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Ok if you are beginner it really doesn't matter what resort you pick, as long as conditions are acceptable. At this point I would choose something that it's the most affordable to you (unless you have lot of $$$, in that case go to Whistler, BC).
As for 10 days of lessons that seems an awful lot to me. this is what I recommend a couple of days of lessons and see where you stand after those days. If you feel that you need more time with instructors go ahead and do it, if not, go out there and have some fun. 10 days are a lot of riding, enough to give you a feel of what you're going to enjoy the most and a lot of time to improve on your own. You could even take an intermediate course towards the end of your trip to correct your ridding.
Where are you located at?
|Oh, and I was thinking of going to Big White in BC, near Kelowna? Is it known to be a good place?
Hey!! Thank you for the advice, was really useful and even more determined to go now I know there's a good chance of me picking up the skill! You are sooo lucky to live in BC!!
Yeah, I am still reading the messages - the more advice the better!
Many thanks!
If you are still there let me know and I will add more info...
Just don't feel like writing a lot for nothing.
Hey Amy!
I am from BC and I could not agree more (most beautiful place) All the mountains I have been to here in BC offer fairly good lessons. My recommendation is to take a few lessons until you get the hang of it then just practice on your own. Once you have the basics down you should progress fairly fast. My buddy and I taught his girlfriend last season and by the end of the season she was almost keeping up with us, which isnt bad seeing as we ride about 4-60 days a season. If you are going to go for 10 days or so you should be able to pick it up really quickly as you are boarding every day. The fact that you do other board sports will help with the learning curve and you should be able to pick it up quicker. Where in BC were you thinking about going? The best advice I was given and I will pass it on to you is not to get discouraged... you will be sore from falling and using muscles you never knew you had, but just keep on going and you will get it. Cheers!!! I hope this helps
Learning to snowboard
I really want to learn to snowboard in January (2009) to see if I still enjoy it (did it about 7 years ago but for only a week) and hopefully take it further and get awesome at it.
Have no idea what resorts (in either Canada or Europe) would be best to go to for beginner lessons...thinking maybe BC as it's such a beautiful place, and also how many lessons i'd need. Any advice would be really welcome!! Was thinking a week or 10 days of lessons and a few days to myself? - would this be enough to get me up to about level 2 or 3 of snowboarding or am I way out with that?
Am relativly fit as I do quite a bit of sport including surfing which i'm not sure if will help me but thought i'd mention it incase.
Thanks guys!! Amy

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 107, October 4, 1996
T3D Memory Layout
[ Thanks to Mark Dalton of CRI in Los Alamos for sending this in (I have made a few minor changes). The T3D Newsletter has touched on memory management in several previous issues (see the list at the end), but has not discussed the mppldr directives before. ]
The manpage on 'mppldr' describes four loader directives which can be used to control the T3D memory layout. The manpage description:
defheap Specifies the minimum heap size and heap increment value for all programs. defsheap Used in the default directives file to establish a minimum heap size and heap increment value for all programs. defstack Sets the default program stack size. defsstk Used in the default directives file to establish a minimum distributed stack size for all programs.
My description:
mppldr: -i mppldr_opts where the file "mppldr_opts" contains: defheap=# <-- Initial Private Heap defsheap=# <-- Initial Shared Heap defstack=# <-- Initial Private Stack defsstck=# <-- Initial Shared Stack
For Example:
cc -X <Num_PEs> -Wl"-i mppldr_opts" file_name.c Then: mppsize ./a.out <-- The executable must have a fixed number of PE's. NOTE: You must fix the Number of PE's or it will not give you useful information on the actual size of the executable. You can do this at compile/link time, or use mppfixpe.
The following shows sample output from mppsize (taken from the Cray Research Service Bulletin on mppsize):
************************************************************************* Startup program is: #!/mpp/bin/mppexec Number of PEs: 1 (fixed) OS partition required? no H/W partition required? no barriers: 1 eurekas: 0 Shape hint (0,0,0) Transfer address: 2000000000 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Segment Size T S P G A L D Disk Length Offset Zeroed 2000000000 code B1DA0 T N 5 0 N 0 0 570 B1DA0 0 0 A000000000 shared data C50 D Y 6 0 N 0 4C50 CE268 0 0 850 4000000000 private data DE280 D N 6 + N 0 E2280 B2310 1BF58 0 2328 6000000000 private stack C0000 S N 6 - Y 0 C4000 0 0 0 0 8200000000 registers 0 R N 6 0 N 0 0 0 0 0 0 Symbols CE268 23B58 0 Dot o's 0 0 0 Directives 0 0 0 843000 (decimal) bytes will be initialized from disk. 146264 (decimal) bytes are required for the symbol table. 1392 (decimal) bytes are required for the header. 990656 (decimal) bytes total *************************************************************************
The CRSB on mppsize appears in Newsletter 27 , and describes how to interpret this information. Basically, add up the size of: code, shared data, private data, and private stack. These are the default size for the data and stacks and they can allocate more, depending on the code. However some codes will need more of a particular area.
For more information:
- Use 'docview' or 'cdoc' to view the mppldr section of the segldr manual.
- man mppldr, mppsize, mppfixpe, IHPSTAT
- For mppsize: Newsletters 23 , 27
- For IHPSTAT: Newsletter 97
- For mppfixpe: Newsletter 101
- For mppldr directives: Newsletter 103
Barriers AND Eurekas Revisited
Two points:
Barriers on the T3E:
Frank Chism of CRI tells me that he has run some of his barrier testing codes on the T3E, and they perform as expected. That is, as they perform as on the T3D.
A barrier call on a PE invalidates a eureka event set previously on that PE.
The following one-sentence paragraph is from docview, mpp.fortran.62, and appeared (with context) in Newsletter 104 :
"Events in eureka mode cannot be posted across barriers."
The manual didn't explain what would happen if one violated this policy, but, as you can imagine, it happened. A reader sent in a test which used barriers and eurekas and seemed to behave inconsistently. It turns out that its barrier call was cancelling an event.
The following program attempts to show this situation. Since it is testing the barrier network, it must avoid using it. To synchronize the PEs, it, therefore, uses the sleep command: there may be a better approach, but this seems to work.
Here's what it does:
All PEs clear the eureka event (clear_event() is always required). A barrier call is included in the clear_event() call, so we know we're synched at that point. Then,
- PEs 2 and 3 test for a eureka event
- PE0 sets a eureka event
- PEs 2 and 3 test
- PE1 sets a barrier
- PEs 2 and 3 test
- PE0 sets a barrier
- PEs 2 and 3 test
The output:
=== PE0: before PE0 does set_event PE2: test_event returns FALSE PE3: test_event returns FALSE === PE0: after PE0 does set_event / before PE1 does set_barrier PE2: test_event returns TRUE PE3: test_event returns TRUE === PE1: after PE1 does set_barrier PE3: test_event returns TRUE PE2: test_event returns TRUE === PE0: after PE0 does set_barrier PE2: test_event returns FALSE PE3: test_event returns FALSE
The program:
cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> void print_test_results (int self); int main( int argc, char** argv ) { int npes,self; npes = _num_pes(); self = _my_pe(); clear_event(); /* contains barrier */ if( self == 0 ) { printf("=== PE%i: before PE0 does set_event\n",self); fflush(stdout); sleep (2); set_event(); printf("=== PE%i: after PE0 does set_event / before PE1 does set_barrier\n",self); fflush(stdout); sleep (2); /* PE1 sets its barrier here. */ sleep (2); set_barrier(); printf("=== PE%i: after PE0 does set_barrier\n",self); fflush(stdout); } else if( self == 1 ) { sleep (2); /* PE0 does set_event() here */ sleep (2); set_barrier(); printf("=== PE%i: after PE1 does set_barrier\n",self); fflush(stdout); sleep (2); /* PE0 sets its barrier here */ } else { sleep (1); print_test_results (self); sleep (2); print_test_results (self); sleep (2); print_test_results (self); sleep (2); print_test_results (self); } } void print_test_results (int self) { /* if( test_barrier() ) printf("PE%i: test_barrier returns TRUE\n",self); else printf("PE%i: test_barrier returns FALSE\n",self); */ if( test_event() ) printf("PE%i: test_event returns TRUE\n",self); else printf("PE%i: test_event returns FALSE\n",self); fflush(stdout); } cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ What's an easy way to remove all the 'core' and 'mppcore' files in any of your directories (but have 'rm' ask before removing)? }} # This 'find' command starts its search from "." -- the current # directory. It descends recursively into all subdirectories, # searching for files named core or mppcore (the "-o" specifies "or", # and the escaped parentheses are required). When it finds one, it # executes the command "rm -i {}", substituting the complete path of # the file for the token, "{}". find . \( -name core -o -name mppcore \) -exec rm -i {} \; # A reader sent in this: I use a ksh function in my .profile file: menage () { find . \( -name core -o -name '*.o' -o -name mppcore -o -name '*.l' -o -name '*.T' \) -atime +7 -exec $* {} \; ; } "-fstype nfs" is able to exclude NFS files but does not work on CRAY. It's a shame, because this function can be dangerous if you access NFS files you did not want to remove after having forgotten them. Usage: menage ls -l or menage rm -i Q: How do you figure out what version of a library your code has been loaded with, or what version of a library you are using?

Several of the Walmarts in my area carry a Remington/UMC .38 Special +P load that is pretty close to what you are seeking. It has a jacketed hollowpoint bullet and a higher velocity, so it is more expensive than the cheap .38 target ammo (but significantly less than the magnum ammo), and it shoots VERY well in several of my revolvers (one is a .38 Special caliber, the other is a short-barreled .357 Magnum).
It comes in a taller-than-normal box, as it contains two vertically-stacked 50-round trays of ammo. Here is what the end flap of the box looks like (clipped out of another photo that I had handy):
I haven't bought any of it in several months, so I'm not sure what the current price is, but I remember it was more than two boxes of the cheap .38 FMJ/target ammo, and less than the similar 100-round box of .357 ammo, so I'm thinking it was around $38-$40 (remember, this is for 100 shots, not 50). Good stuff; it's about the only factory-made ammo I use in my old S&W .38 nowadays. SEE 2nd EDIT, BELOW.
EDITED TO ADD: That Dan Wesson is a fine revolver, and if you find some ammo it likes, it may well astound you. A friend had a similar DW revolver many years ago, and I remember him shooting 6 shots into a single ragged hole at 10-15 yards with boring regularity, and his favorite magnum ammo would keep 6 shots under two inches at a full 25 yards, if he did his part.
If you shoot .38 ammo in your .357, don't forget to clean each chamber well when you are finished, or you might get a build-up of crud near where the end of the .38 casings release the bullet. If you try to shoot the longer .357 ammo in a chamber still dirty from shooting .38 ammo, the .357 casings may stick or be very hard to extract from the cylinder, due to the ring of fouling left by the shorter-cased .38 ammo. In extreme cases, major fouling can raise the pressures when .357 ammo is fired, causing other problems.
2nd EDIT: Price of this Rem/UMC .38 +P ammo is currently $33.97 per 100 rounds; just picked up a new box on 10-9-12.

By Chris Harris
Jack Wilshere says the presence of "proper footballers" like Santi Cazorla has helped him make a smooth return to first-team football.
The 20-year-old is back in the Arsenal side after a 17-month injury lay-off and he is busy building on-pitch relationships with a number of new faces.
Six of the players who started Wilshere's comeback match against Queens Park Rangers - Per Mertesacker, Andre Santos, Santi Cazorla, Mikel Arteta, Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud - were not at the Club when he made his previous Premier League appearance at Fulham in May 2011.
"It is strange because last time I played was with Fabregas, Nasri, Alex Song [and] Robin van Persie," said Wilshere. "Now there's the likes of Podolski, Giroud, Cazorla [and] Arteta.
"I think the boss has done excellently. He's bought well. These players are proper footballers - they understand the game and they've been around. You look at someone like Lukas Podolski, he's got over 100 caps for his country.
"They're top players and it's easy to come into a team where they understand football so well. To play with someone like Santi Cazorla is so easy. He understands football, even little things like the pace of the pass he gives you, and his movement is outstanding."

text: Posted March 22, 2013 "...our leaders have concluded, all facts to the contrary, that the only thing wrong with North Carolina is that those at the bottom have too much and those at the top don't have enough. We decided to reject a Medicaid expansion that would benefit us more than virtually any other state – shoving us to the right of even the pernicious Rick Scott of Florida. Over 500,000 needy citizens are now effectively ejected from the health care system, though the feds were ready to foot almost the entire bill. We cut unemployment insurance dramatically in a way that will forfeit federal funds appropriated as part of the fiscal cliff negotiations – brushing aside money, once again, already on the table. A bumbling committee chairwoman explained she'd been working on the changes for weeks and didn't want to go back and re-do things to get the federal dollars. Too much trouble. After all, it's just food and sustenance and housing for 170,000 immensely distressed human beings. Whoever cares? We're moving to end the state's exceedingly modest earned income tax credit. This reflects the inspiring premise that the only taxes eligible for increase are those of working families making about $35,000 a year. About 900,000 low-income Tar Heels will be made to pay a larger portion of their wages so that 120 or so immensely wealthy families can be excused from paying an estate tax. Yet another proposal speeds forward to dramatically cut, or eliminate, the state income tax and increase the sales tax on food and other essentials. This is necessary, reportedly, so that poor people pay can more taxes and rich people less. And we're re-introducing payday lending, long outlawed here, to help wealthy folks steal more readily from impoverished ones. Government by brigands."

Mint Julep
Saturday is Derby Day, which means that across the country, celebratory sippers will be nipping at their Mint Juleps, and more than 80,000 of the drinks are expected to be served over derby weekend at Churchill Downs.
Tragically, most of these juleps are likely to suck.
With a formula almost as old as the republic, the mint julep is a product of an era in which things were done much slower. Somewhat labor-intensive to properly make, a good mint julep can't be rushed, and cranking them out by the hundreds using prepared mixes and flavored syrups can only result in sadness.
That's not to say you can't prepare these in quantity for a derby party. If that's the course you want to take, I'd suggest relying instead on an assembly-line model of manufacture rather than trying to incorporate all your ingredients in one bottle, to simply be mixed with ice and a mint-sprig garnish.
To ensure julep success, here are some tips:
- Take the term "bruise" to heart when approaching the mint. Smashing it vigorously with a muddler or wooden spoon will not only create a messy julep that will leave bits of mint stuck in your teeth, but will release the bitter flavors in the mint leaf; instead, gently tap at the mint to release the aromatic oils, and swab the sides of the glass with the mint leaves to better disperse the flavor.
- Eschew mixes. You wouldn't use Velveeta when making a Mornay, would you? Then don't use cheap shortcuts with your julep. The sweetened, mint-flavored whiskey you see at this time of year just isn't going to get you the same results as going fresh. (Though you can speed up the process by pre-mixing your sugar and water over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, then cooling before use.)
- The quality of your ice matters. You want the ice to be finely crushed to almost powder, but with some larger pebble-sized pieces in the mix. You can use a kitchen ice crusher to get there, but you can also fold several ice cubes in a clean kitchen towel and whale away at it with a mallet or rolling pin until the ice is pulverized. And keep the ice as cold as you can—a slushy julep is a sad julep.
- Don't get too caught up in the rigidity of what passes as tradition. Juleps have long been made with everything from cognac and rum to rye whiskey and bourbon, and many times with combinations of these spirits. Some minimalistic styles call for swabbing the glass with mint and then discarding it, while others leave the mint in the glass, and still others adorn the drink with the standard mint bouquet along with sticks of pineapple and slices of orange.
The overall lesson: the julep is flexible. Make the drink the way it tastes best to you (and these points should be viewed as suggestions on how to make a good-tasting julep, rather than rules). Anyone who says you're committing heresy by dashing a flavorful rum atop your julep, mixing it with brandy rather than bourbon or garnishing the drink with a pineapple stick should feel free to grab a beer.
- 2 to 3 ounces bourbon, to taste
- 1 teaspoon sugar, to taste, dissolved in 1 teaspoon water (or use 2 tsp. simple syrup)
- 8 to 10 leaves fresh mint
- Mint sprigs, for garnish
- Crushed ice
Place the sugar and water at the bottom of a julep cup or tall glass and stir until sugar is dissolved (or speed the process by using simple syrup). Add the mint leaves and gently bruise with a wooden muddler or a wooden spoon. Take care not to overwork the mint, but swab the sides of the glass with the mint's aromatic oils. Half-fill the glass with crushed ice and add the bourbon, stirring to combine. Fill the glass with crushed ice and stir until the outside of the glass frosts. Add more crushed ice if needed to fill, and generously adorn the drink with sprigs of fresh mint. Serve with a short straw, so the fragrance of the mint bouquet will greet the drinker with each sip.

Granted, I am not even at this point with my costume yet, but are the voice amp headsets uncomfortable with the helmet on? If so, I was condiering using one of these: http://www.paintball-discounters.com...14104189694.61
...assuming that theres a way to wire it to the voice amp. These use two interface plugs (speaker/speaker, mic) whereas the voiceamps use one (speaker/mic) unless I am mistaken.
anyway, the point of using this set up would be that it can be integrated into the helmet. The speaker/mic wires can be unplugged from both the amp and the speakers themselves. I have one of these hooked up to my paintball mask and it was MUCH more convenient than trying to swing a headset.
Let me know what you all think.

My mother has an autoimmune illness which is called (Cicatricial Phemphigoid) which attacks the mucus of your own body. Extremely rare disease. The Acai berry seems to give her the bouts she needs somehow so this was her birthday present from me. She was thrill. I am a nurse and reached all my meds very carefully, I could not find anything wrong with this, and it is helping her so I bought a lot. I appreciate the good service and fast delivery not to mention the great price.

Acai, Super Fruit
Posted by Reviewer3157004 on Oct 31, 2009 | Verified Purchase
I have recently started using the Acai and find it to be a very good product. I am 65 years of age. I have more energy and feel better. I have noticed a small new growth of hair right at the widows peak. My skin has become much softer and my finger nails are stronger. It will be interesting to see what other changes/improvements come along in the future. As far a weight loss is concerned, I can't make a definite claim as I have also changed my eating habits to where I am eating more high water content vegetables along with smaller portions of high density foods at meal time. Then again I really do not have a great weight problem. I am 5'2" weighing 125 pounds. Down from 130 pounds, I really was not on a "diet". I do feel that Acai is supporting my health in a positive way.

I'm the kind of person who hits the gym at least 5x a week and overall I try to maintain good eating habits. Because I have that lifestyle, I've always thought that I didn't need anything else. But a couple months ago I started taking this product along with Triphala, and I feel even more better than ever! No digestive issues anymore! And taking the internal cleanser helps my body absorb the Acai even more. I feel healthier than ever! The shipping was fast, and the prices just cannot be beat! I'm on to ordering another bottle of this and am also about to try the Liver Detoxifier and the Melatonin from Now Foods so I'll let you know how those products are!
great product

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Slippy, Feb 14, 2012.
I always had the feeling that the Bulls wanted Gordon to leave.
He never really fit in there. I don't know if it was due to his poor defense or lack of size. Especially when Rose was drafted. Never could stay in the starting lineup and it's crazy to pay a guy 12mil/yr to come off the bench.
Totally disagree. He fit perfectly in Chicago because he could come off the bench and dominate. They wanted him to leave at his current price. I think they would have kept him if it were in the 9 mil neighborhood. They've never replaced him. He could be a star.......
So these 2 share the same birthday? I kept waiting for the clip where Big Ben was fighting with the DJ.
That party was not too shabby.
LOL. At least Bynum sported his best gray hoodie.
Didn't see Charlie or Daye??.....maybe they got DNP''s did not party? Max either...
Not after they got Rose. They also though he was holding up his progress for some reason. Maybe because they have similar games.
Rose and Gordon's plays are similar in the sense that they both involve a basketball.
Separate names with a comma.

Pay It Forward!
During my check-ups with adolescents, I like to talk about their outside activities, that is things that teens do once they get out of school. Many of my patients are involved in sports, and others like dance, theater or they may be in the orchestra or band. There are others who really don't like the usual after school activities, but prefer to do volunteer work.
Being a volunteer is such an important aspect of adolescence. Learning about giving back and helping others is important for all of us, but I think especially important during the teen years. Teenagers are often self-centered, and narcissistic. It is normal part of their development. Think about toddlers and teens, the me years.
But, teens also have so much to give back. Their generation is full of talents. I see this among my teenage patients. Many of them have already chosen to volunteer and participate in little league coaching for baseball, lacrosse, and football. Others enjoy their church and synagogue and help with the young children in Sunday school or Hebrew school. I have teens who are talented in art and volunteer in nursing homes. The list is endless, but the results are the same...... giving back.
Many schools encourage or even require that a student volunteers. I think parents should also be instrumental in encouraging their own teens to volunteer in their community. This is often done by modeling the behavior yourself (one of my favorite parenting lines). If you get up on a Saturday morning to go help build homes at Habitat for Humanity, it is easy to wake up your teen to join you. What about opportunities in the community to deliver Meals on Wheels one weekend day a month, perfect time for chatting with your teen while in the car, and serving others at the same time. There are so many options that everyone should be able to find something that interests them while giving of themselves as well.
The lessons from volunteering will continue through out a teenagers life and hopefully into their adult life as well. As is often the case, when one volunteers, I am not sure who benefits more, but your teen will for sure.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: Bilges - On vs. Automatic; Capacity?
Stiffwind's experience with a pressure water problem is far from unique. A friend of mine was heading south on the ICW and realized at some point that something was wrong. It was a plumbing failure that emptied over 200 gallons into the bilge--and then some.
I used to have an older Jabsco diaphragm pump that was bulletproof, but noisy. I replaced it with a newer design that is self-regulating--meaning it stops pumping when the pressure goes up, like when all the outlets are off. It's also very quiet. After a couple of times when a tank was emptied and the pump continued to run for an indefinite time, I now shut off the pump at the panel when we are not using water. That includes when we go ashore.
Re: Bilges - On vs. Automatic; Capacity?
That is just my own rule developed based upon my novice experiences. Besides the incident related in my recent posts, there was another incident when I was sailing down from Rhode Island to Jersey. Stopped in Liberty Landing. December 2011. More **** happens in cold weather it seems. Anyway, she was docked in slip for the night. We were staying on the boat. Went up to a resturant for dinner and I really didn't see the need to worry about shutting most of the systems down. Before this I had not particularly worried about leaving the water pressure on if I left the boat for a short time. When I returned from dinner I heard that awful sound of water running on the boat and when I found the source it was a head sink pipe (many of my water pipes around galley and head sink are copper) that had just separated at a joint...obviously assisted by the system pressure, and water had already filled my sink cabinent before overflowing onto the head floor and into the bilge.
You can see where it just makes sense to me to pay attention to the water pressure status, especially in older boats because stuff breaks. No big deal...but real trouble usually comes when more than one system malfunctions at the same time. So now I turn off water pressure unless someone is below using the water, but when I'm sailing especially in heavy seas or motor sailing, it's hard to hear the warnings of bilge or other water problems. I imagine more experienced sailors figured out that rule long before I did!

MCD's BoatSense is a little more palatable at $685. It doesn't appear to have its own proprietary switches, rather a few normally open or normally closed circuits, allowing you to use an off the shelf float switch, etc.
All of these require some type of monitoring charge at around $200/year.

Re: Bilges - On vs. Automatic; Capacity?
General rule is to shut off the fresh water pressure switch when underway. If a hose breaks while you are at anchor, you will most likely hear the bilge pump running and be able to save your water supply. If it breaks underway, you may be out of FW before you realize. Depending on where you are cruising, that may be either an inconvenience or a serious problem.
If we need water underway, we turn it on, then back off again.
Re: Bilges - On vs. Automatic; Capacity?
Here is what I am thinking on the subject. I essentially learned this by going through all the bilge threads on SN. Wow, incredible source of info. I took the best ideas so I came up with a plan.
My current system really sucks, a single Rule centrifugal with with check valve three feet from the pump. And there is a good twenty foot run to the stern. It does have a good high position in the line for anti siphon though.
A. New primary bilge. A Whale diaphragm type with a small strainer in the deepest part of the bilge and the pump located three feet away. 300 GPH. It has an integrated float switch and check valve at the strainer. 3/4" Bilge line to the transom.
B. The current Rule will become secondary. Mounted about six inches above the strainer of the new primary pump. Remove the check valve from the Rule bilge hose. 1100 GPH
C. Add a tertiary 2000 GPH near the engine compartment. Johnson centrifugal 2000. No check valve. Water Witch switch with an outside alarm. 1.5" bilge line to the transom.
I do have a manual system in place currently, an important fact.
It's amazing what you can learn on this site.
Re: Bilges - On vs. Automatic; Capacity?
I wasn't aware that you shouldn't have pressurized water on under sail? Is that a general rule, or with your system in particular.
Does your bilge counter count the number of times that the unit comes on or the volume of water it's pumped out?
Re: Bilges - On vs. Automatic; Capacity?
IMHO, any bilge system also should have a counter, to show you small problems before they get big, and audible alarm.
One human error incident involved water pipe bursting, mistakenly leaving water pressure on when sailing single-handed, and the main bilge switch turne off. As I was leaving boat on dock, I heard noise of water running and could not believe the noise was coming from my boat because I new all power was off. Turns out it was before I finished hooking up my emergency hi capacity hose...but I had the pump and electronic switch installed. So the electronic switch was triggered because the water had risen to mid-level since the main bilge was off, and the hi capacity bilge was just blowing the water around in the bilge which was the noise I heard....now that would have run my batteries to 0 since the pump would have never shut off because water level was not being lowered.
Anyway, very good idea to pay close attention to your bilge BEFORE the stars line up to create an emergency.
Re: Bilges - On vs. Automatic; Capacity?
After a few scares with the boat taking on water...one while sailing and another at the dock (both because of human error and all the stars lining up to result in emergency) I reworked my bilge to maximize GPH as follows:
First, my main bilge pump is and remains a Rule 3000 GPH on a separate float switch, with a 3/4 hose, and wired directly to house batteries using the standard Manual, Auto, Off switch.
Next, I saw that my manual cockpit bilge pump had a 1 1/2 hose running to the bilge. So I disconnected the hose, put a Y-connection in a cockpit drain hose that runs under my cockpit and drains out the hull, and connected the 1 1/2 hose that was connected to my cockpit manual pump to the Y-connection. Then I connected a Rule 4,500 GPH pump to the other end of that larger hose in my bilge, but I mounted the pump on a fiberglass base so that it sits about 5 inches off the bilge floor (that way it doesn't sit in bilge water at any time). Instead of using another float switch, I connected the hi capacity pump to a electronic sensor switch that I mounted about half way up the side wall in the bilge. This way, the hi capacity pump is only triggered in emergency situation where the water infiltration to too much for main bilge to handle, or the main bilge fails. This configuration also saves my emergency hi capacity pump from doing the small stuff and using power except when really needed.

Well Hello my friends!
I hope you are having a fabulous week!
Spring is definitely here…warm temps and weekly storms are a making the gardens come alive :) I'll show you my herb gardens one day soon. But today I want to share photos of how I've used this old wooden crate in my kitchen.
On my last flea market trip to Canton Trade Days, my Tennessee friend, Amy and I found some great treasures. This antique crate was one I just had to bring home with me.
Here is my inspiration photo (below)…
after seeing this photo of a rack hanging above the island on Kelly Harmon Designs site…
(oh my heavens, I LOVE this kitchen!!!)
I decided to try my old crate above our island. I hung lavender and mint from the crate. But I think I could add an egg basket or two.
This weekend, our kitchen will undergo another transformation. We are installing new cabinets & countertops :) I'll show you the finished photos soon..
I'd also like to ask if you would please take a moment to check out my new Sponsor, French Charmed.
I'm sure you will LOVE their French Farmhouse items!
P.S. Do any of you have a daughter who happens to love American Girl Dolls?? Well, my youngest daughter would love to get connected with them… she has a blog called Kyn's Kreations, where she shares her sewing projects and doll photo shoots. I'd love for you to visit her, it would make her day :)
Thanks so much for visiting me today! I appreciate each of you!
I'm joining Wow Us Wednesdays with Kim :)
