BVI charter report
I had a different encounter with a cab driver:
The airline we arrived with lost a separately packed item. It arrived a few days after our charter started while we were anchored right next to the airport off Beef Island.
Sunsail informed me that the item had arrived and that they will send it with the next cab driver that will be bringing Sunsail customers to the airport. I waited at the airport at the designated time and met the cab which was full of customers with a smile. The smile disappeared quickly however when the cab driver sourly demanded from me the full fare of a return trip from the Sunsail base to the airport before he would hand over my package. This in spite of the fact that he was making the trip anyway with a full load of paying customers, courtesy of Sunsail, and the fact that my package weighed almost nothing. My protestations were to no avail. He clearly felt that I owe him the full fare.
I paid it, but that reinforced the feeling in my mind that paradise had been spoilt, probably a long time ago...
BVI charter report
I''ll add a comment, even though my experience was last August (2003). After a charter that ended on an extremely sour note, I went into a little store and asked if they could recommend a place to stay for the night, my flight was the next day. Well, the woman there could not have been nicer, in fact started calling places immediately and asking if they open and if so, did they have anything available. On top of that there was a cab driver in the store getting some groceries, he wasn''t working. The lady and the cab driver conferred, resulitng in a call to the Da Loose Mongoose because they have a couple of rooms. There was a room available, so the taxi driver, who had his little daughter with him, offered to take me there. I, of course, accepted and when we got to the Da Loose Mongoose he went into the place, it was fairly early in the morning yet, and made sure there was indeed a room.
Once that was settled I asked him much I owed him, he said something like $3.00. I was astounded. Here is a guy that is not working, and had not intended to be doing business, goes out of his way to help find a place, then goes out of his way to get me there and then ensure I had a place to stay.
I gave him $10.00, which he said was too much. I said, that was fine I appreciated everything he did for me.
Now, neither he nor the lady in the store were what I would call "warm and friendly" but it was clear they were caring and sincere.
There was an incident of rudeness at Saba Rock when I was at the wheel and made a fiasco of trying to dock. But, other than embarassment, I probably deserved the castigaiton.
I won''t go into the ridiculous chain of events that led to the sour ending of the charter.
I loved sailing there and would say almost all of my contacts with the locals was positive.
BVI charter report
My wife and I chartered with the Mooorings in October, 2004, for 2 weeks.. The marina had a security guard on duty 24/7. The Moorings had people on staff 24/7 and everyone we saw in the area were workers or charters.
I think during the summer months the BVI''s must be packed and the natives are on overload. We experienced this in our travels throughout Europe. We then decided to travel on the off season and found that the people couldn''t do enough for you. Even the French.
We anchored almost every night and sometimes we picked up any individual''s mooring, because it was unmarked. One time we picked up an unmarked buoy and the captain of the charter vessel whose mooring it was, came over and told us it was a private mooring.
When he saw it was unmarked , he marked it again and told us we could stay the night, no charge. Before we left I rowed over to his boat and gave him a bottle of wine and thanked him. His comment was in 15 years no one who used his mooring showed any appreciation.
BVI charter report
I have to agree withMagnus
1. We also had a tall black intruder inour boat. Funny that he walked in ( 2.am) our solo guy, who thought it was one of us and jokingly pointed a finger at him and yelled BOOOOOM ..... the guy turned around , just to be in front of the second guy, who came up from the other side ( catamaran, obviouly ) totally naked with a huge morning wood. The guy was spinning around and leaped from the boat,and never stopped running... we complained to Conch Charter the next day, and they took care of everything. Upon our return ( the last night) we observed securityat the docks. They found the guy inthe meantime, comes to find mout that he was mentally disturbed and most likely just was looking for a place to sleep..... our boat was a bad choice....
we stayed 16 days and yes the attitude becomes a problem , the longer you stay. Of course we didnt let anybody destroy our vacation witht their attitude. But in all reality, its very expensive and you can expect a little more than at the local walmart dinner.
Again we had the time of our lifes, and we will be back. But its a little nerving.
By the way Conch Charters was exceptional, outstanding marvelous simply the best !

I know everyone doesn''t understand. If you lived here, you might have a clue. Boycott them for awhile. Maybe they wouldn''t be so quick to confiscate boats under the guise of "no fishing license" when you couldn''t even get one when they seized the boats if you wanted to, and they couldn''t tell you how to get one, nor would they bother. With the 30# limit on fish in the BVI (one good dolphin, tuna or wahoo), you HAVE to deliver everything over 30#''s to the fisheries minister''s brother. Cute. You might get the heads. You might lose your boat.
BVI charter report
Returned from another BVI charter, this time with North South, and used some suggestions collected from this board, which help us have a even better vacation.
Simple politeness, sincere greetings and a little joking around worked absolute wonders with the deliteful BVI residents. I got invitations to see there homes, eat dinner etc. I realized I''m a guest in their country, and I should show respect to there way of life. There definitely is such a thing as ISLAND time - do not fight it!!!!
Give yourself ample time and don''t be in a rush. The Customs official in Jost Van Dyke purposely put a rude A--hole to the back of the line for being obstinately loud derogatory -so - typical tourist mentality.
Does not work in the BVI.
BVI charter report
I was on a Moorings 4-day crewed charter in April this year. It was our first trip to the BVI, and it was like a dream--absolutely wonderful. If you''ve never bareboated and want to "scout" the area, do a crewed "cabin" cruise first. Our crew (Brett and Ronnie) handled the 47'' cat like the real pros they are, and served exquisite meal after meal. We went to Peter Island, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Monkey Point/Marina Bay, then finally back to roadtown. Now I feel like I know the area well enough to bareboat down there anytime and know the good places to go.
As to the attitude issue brought up in this thread: one of the things our crew told us over drinks the first night was that island folks get irritated (and show it) when you try to go too fast for them. Our captain, Brett, has been in the BVI for a few years and seems to know everyone in every bar. Every night we went ashore, Brett walked into the bar with us, shook hands/hugged the staff, and immediately went behind the bar and started serving drinks for us and for anyone else--the barstaff seemed to take it for granted that he would do this, and took the opportunity to relax a bit (ha!). Anyway, Brett''s advice was to dress well in stores and restaurants (ie, no bathing suits, no flips, wear shirts, nice shorts or slacks), smile, say hello, have a "bit of a chat" (Brett and Ronnie are English), stay laid back, act as if you''re very happy and relaxed, in no rush, and interested in the people around you. After saying hello, exchanging names, talking about the weather, etc, for a while, the waiter/bartender/whoever will have asked you what he/she can do for you, and you can say "oh, when you have time, I''d love a [whatever], but there''s no rush." The "whatever" will be there twice as fast, the person you''re dealing with will really warm up and be nice, and you''ll all have a good time.
Act like you''re not in a store/restaurant/whatever--act like you''re in their house as a guest. It works--most of the time. After all, there are a-holes everywhere. And I''ve never had to deal with officials in the BVI, don''t know what the right approach is there. Closest I came was going into a bank to get some cash (for some reason my atm card would not work in atm machines there, but would work in stores.) In the bank, it was all business, no "island time", everyone--locals and tourists--were treated with bureaucratic indifference but with efficiency.
Anyway, that''s my 2 cents worth. I''d have to say that when we took the time to apply the above advice it always worked really well. When we were tired and grouchy (it rained quite a bit while we were there before and after our cruise), and reverted to US-style expectations of service, we got the cold shoulder.
BVI charter report
The BVI attitude of indifference is nothing compared to the USVI''s problems of customer service. They actually have to train people to stop acting like assholes from the cashier''s counter. I''ve been here since ''98 and just getting a car inspected or paying your property tax one is expected to take a day off from work and "accommodate" the pseudo-socialist governmental norms. Nepotism is rampant, corruption throughout the Caribbean, including the US, is typical and expected. It is an attitude of absolute entitlement. Everyone believes they should be a millionaire and not work for it. Is it that bad? No, not when you focus on what YOU can get out of living here vs. subzero temps, a lousy summer in New England this year, great fishing, sailing, racing. There''s a lot of people that just get beyond all the aggravation, have their little hideouts (ie., Neptune''s Treasure, Anegada) and live life to it''s fullest by racing the St. Croix Regatta, Puerto Rico Heineken, then St. Maarten Heineken, then Rolex, then BVI Regatta. Then the fishing tournaments start again. Love slow, sail fast, hook up. KW
BVI charter report
I agree with all the above accounts of "indifference" of service, mostly with the waiters/waitresses. It became a funny little joke with my crew about what they would say to us next. I remember a little restaurant in Roadtown (next to the Bat Cave... I can''t remember the name) where the waitress asked me if I wanted cheese on my "turkey & cheese sandwhich" as advertised on the menu. I said, sure, and she rolled her eyes and said "Irie.. but it''ll cost you extra!" and walked away, to which myself and the rest of us just broke down and laughed. It got to the point where it didn''t matter anymore.. it was just plain funny.
Don''t say that all the locals are rude, though, because we were treated so well from a number of people, because we treated them with respect back. There''s a guy named James on Cooper Island who we met and had the greatest time with. We brought him a couple of cold Red Stripes and hung out all day, he let us use his kayaks, invited us to hang out on the other side of the island where they owned property, and just had a good time with us. We saw him again on the last night (at the Bat Cave) and drank beers with him and his cousin all night, and they paid for most of them! Great people!
I know that nobody wants to appear as a "tourist" but you can''t help but look that way when you charter a sailboat in the BVI''s. But, I witnessed a few different occasions where the tourists just plain didn''t give the island a chance. They came into restaurants with superior attitudes and were surprised to get bad service.
Be ready to wait a half hour for a check, and maybe have to pay for a drink of water, and all that... but who cares? when you''re in paradise, it doesn''t matter. For a short time, you can escape from all the ******** that is America.
BVI charter report
Sorry to hear of your frightening ordeal. I can''t really say with certainty about all the other charter operations on Tortola, but I know that many of them have zero security at night. To be frank, from a historical perspective, it doesn''t seem to have been justified. Hopefully, that will have been an isolated incident.

New Corel Painter X3 Inspires Artists to Push the Boundaries of Digital Art
Corel today announced the availability of Painter X3, the world's leading digital art software known for its hundreds of brushes, paper textures and media that perfectly emulate real-world art materials. As an innovator in digital art, Painter X3 continues to inspire artists with unique tools such as new Jitter brushes that produce more organic art and flow maps that direct the saturation of wet media as it interacts with the canvas. In addition, artists will save more time with workflow enhancements when cloning with crosshairs, drawing in perspective and transforming multiple layers. For both new and experienced Painter users, the Brush Search engine now makes it easier to find the perfect brush, while the advanced brush controls simplify the customization options.
Created by Artists for Artists
"Painter X3 is the result of an immensely collaborative effort with professional artists across the world to understand how we could improve the user experience, optimize the existing workflow and add new technologies to push the boundaries of digital art," said Andy Church, Senior Product Manager for Corel Painter. "What we've created with this version is more than digital art software; it's a platform for inspiration, creativity and reflection."
Painter X3 Feature Highlights
Every day, artists around the world trust Painter to explore their creativity, produce stunning work with ease and deliver art that wows their clients. Whether for photo art, traditional art, illustrations, concept art or designs, Painter X3 introduces new tools to further enhance the ultimate digital art studio:
- Jitter Brushes: Introduce elements of randomness to your brush strokes by adding universal Jitter properties to any brush expression or by using one of the 25 new Jitter brushes
- Brush Search Engine: Find the perfect brush that inspires you within seconds simply by typing terms in the search bar such as brush names or properties, and ensure they're what you're looking for with the enhanced Live Stroke preview
- Crosshair Cloning: Position the source image beside the clone and take advantage of the crosshairs which mark where you are cloning from, allowing you to focus on the creation
- Perspective Guides: Speed up the creation of an object with dimension by using the snap tool to draw in 1-,2-, or 3-point perspective and accurately portray spatial depth
- Smart Brush Controls: Change brush properties more easily now-only the settings that can be tweaked will be displayed in the panel
- Reference Image Panel: Open a reference image in the new panel to keep a visual source of inspiration within sight as you paint, without toggling between windows
- Multi-Layer Transformation: Apply a transformation to a selection across multiple layers
- Flow Maps: Create unique and irregular patterns with this technology that directs wet media across the canvas to produce less saturation at the peaks of the canvas texture and more saturation in the valleys, just like colors would with real-world materials

Missouri Superfund Law
In June 1983, a state Superfund bill (Chapters 260.440 through 260.475 RSMo) was approved in Missouri. The law authorized the establishment of emergency response activities in the state to respond to hazardous substance releases. The law also created a Hazardous Waste Remedial Fund to be used for the implementation of these programs and other expenditures, such as financing the non-federal share of cleanups and the investigation and assessment of potential hazardous waste sites. Each January, the department presents a full account of the Hazardous Waste Remedial Fund to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the Missouri Hazardous Waste Management Commission. Finally, the law directed the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to prepare a Registry of Confirmed Abandoned or Uncontrolled Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites in Missouri (PUB 337).

ORLANDO, Fla. - There is a reason the Detroit Pistons have been to five consecutive Eastern Conference finals. They proved it on Saturday, even without their All-Star point guard to hold things together in front of a hostile crowd.
Richard Hamilton scored 32 points and Hedo Turkoglu missed a layup with time running out as the Pistons beat the Orlando Magic 90-89 to take a 3-1 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal series.
The Pistons became the first team to win on the road in the second round this postseason, and can clinch their sixth consecutive conference finals appearance when this series returns to Detroit on Tuesday.
All of it happened with Chauncey Billups watching in a sport coat on the bench after straining a hamstring in Game 3.
"We just played 'D' - that's what we do," said Rasheed Wallace, who had 16 points and eight rebounds. "It was a physical game on both sides of the ball. That is our style; we like being physical. We just wish we could do that more often."
Tayshaun Prince scored 17 for Detroit, including an 11-foot runner for the go-ahead basket with 8.9 seconds left. Antonio McDyess added eight points and 14 boards.
The Pistons controlled the tempo in the second half after falling behind by 15 in the third quarter, deflated the Magic transition game that gassed up its Game 3 win and pounded Dwight Howard in the paint.
Still, Orlando had a chance late in the game - actually a few of them. Down by a point out of the timeout after Prince's basket, Turkoglu held the ball at the top of the key as time wound down, then missed a contested layup in the lane. Howard's follow also was no good, and neither player drew the foul they wanted. Jameer Nelson also missed one of two foul shots with 44 seconds left, which would've tied the game.
CAVALIERS 108, CELTICS 84: At Cleveland, the shots didn't drop again for LeBron James, and it hardly mattered. The rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers made most of theirs.
James scored 21 points on another off-shooting night, but Delonte West scored 21, Joe Smith had 17 and the Cavaliers raced to a large, early lead in Game 3 in a 108-84 victory Saturday night over the road-challenged Boston Celtics to pull within 2-1 in their playoff series.
West, who spent three seasons wearing Celtic green and white, carried the scoring load for the Cavaliers, who are attempting to become the 14th team in NBA history to come back from an 0-2 deficit and win a best-of-seven series.
They've had practice at it.
Last year, the Cavaliers lost the first two games of the Eastern Conference finals to Detroit before beating the Pistons four in a row to advance to the finals for the first time.
After dropping Games 1 and 2 in Boston, Cleveland needed James (8-of-42 in the losses) to shoot his way out of a slump.
James was only 5-of-16 from the floor, but his teammates stepped it up, going a combined 32-of-54 (59 percent) to tighten the second-round series. Cleveland roared to a 32-13 lead after one quarter, led by 17 at half, 16 after three and easily withstood a few Boston counter punches.
The Celtics remain lost on the road, and Game 4 is Monday night in Cleveland.

Social networking websites may have made the world a lot smaller, but they also give us information instantly at our fingertips, and we have more access to news and opinions than ever before. The websites on our lineup encompass the true definition of a social networking website – they give you a great chance to keep in touch with your old friends, keep tabs on current friends and family, and create new online friendships with people who share your interests. Some of the networking websites even give you the advantage of creating a network of friends to aid you in establishing business contacts to find a job.
Each social network site, aside from the ability to connect you to others, is different from the rest. Each one promotes a platform and user experience that makes it unique, and approaches online social relationships from a specific perspective. One social networking website may be better than another for a specific use. For instance, there is a specific social media site that's good for connecting with friends and family. The same can be said for employment or photography. For more information about social media, check out our articles on social networking websites.
Best Social Networking Website for Friends & Family
Staying in touch with friends and family via social network has never been easier than with social media giant Facebook. In fact, it's pretty rare to come across someone who doesn't have a Facebook account nowadays. Facebook is the most popular and most used social network by people of all generations.
Facebook lets you share photos, videos, status updates, news articles, and more with friends and family. Not only can you follow your friends and family, but you can also follow news organizations, celebrities, places and locations, businesses, and more. Like most social networking websites, Facebook is free to join and use. Facebook can be used for personal reasons or even for business reasons, as business profiles are available that allow your company to connect with customers.
With the inception of social networking sites in the early 2000s, there were several startup companies looking to maximize their membership and excel in niche areas. In the first few years that Facebook entered the scene, it was meant to be the best way for college students to socialize and connect. It didn't take long for this service to expand and become inclusive of people of all ages, from 13 on up. For years now, Facebook has remained the most popular social networking website.
Best Social Networking Website for Work
Trying to find a job is often difficult if you don't have the right contacts. Luckily, LinkedIn has employment networking covered and helps you find and add career connections. In fact, LinkedIn acts as an online resume for both current and potential employers to see.
LinkedIn lets you add all of your schooling, work history, skills and more to show current and potential employers the kind of experience you have. Your connections can even endorse your skills, which helps potential employers see what you're good at according to people you have worked with before. Potential employers and connections can message you on LinkedIn to talk with you about employment.
LinkedIn has both a free and paid version. The free version allows you to create a profile for potential employers to see and network with other people, while the paid version adds a couple of other features to help in your employment search.
The purpose of social networking sites is to keep you in contact with your friends and help you make new connections along the way. These services are great social tools, but rarely do you get many advantages in life from posting a simple status update. LinkedIn takes the ease of using social network sites to help you find career connections and give you a strong online reputation. This professional networking site launched in 2003 and is one of the most popular social sites in the professional world.
Best Social Networking Website for Photography
Sharing your photos – whether professional or amateur – is incredibly simple with Instagram. This social network allows you to post photos with captions for your followers. Your followers can like and comment on your photos, and you can choose whether your account is private or public.
Instagram is free and allows for personal and business use. Members with personal accounts use it to share everyday photos of everything going on in their lives – trips, food, pets and anything else. Businesses, on the other hand, can use Instagram for selling their goods, which is basically free advertising if you can establish a large follower base. Instagram also lets you pay for ads and target them to certain users to help you sell to your audience.
Sharing your photography – whether professional or amateur – has never been easier than it is with Instagram. This social media website allows you to create a personal or business account that is public or private and share your life in pictures.
Best Social Networking Website for News
Breaking news has taken on a whole new meaning with social network website Twitter. This social network is now where news is, in fact, broken. It's not at all uncommon for a colleague or friend to tell you that they saw the breaking news on Twitter.
Twitter accounts are free, and you can create a personalized profile. Your profile includes your handle (your profile name) and a small amount of information about yourself – a picture, short bio, location and website – though none of the information aside from the personalized handle is required for activation. You can choose to have your account and tweets public and viewable to anyone, or private and viewable to only those you approve as followers. You can follow and communicate with friends, family, acquaintances, news organizations, celebrities and companies.
One of the main uses for social networking websites is to enable people to post their thoughts instantly. No social networking site takes full advantage of speed and immediacy more than Twitter, which exploded onto the social media scene in 2006.
Best Social Networking Website for Music
After the original MySpace fell behind in the social networking realm, it rebranded itself as the go-to of music social networks and came back stronger than ever to compete with the best. MySpace allows you to keep up with the music industry from other users and even music artists themselves.
As a MySpace user, you are identified by either a personal profile or a band or DJ profile. Personal profiles don't have many customization options other than adding your own pictures and filtering your interests. However, DJs and bands can do a bit more to customize their profiles. Personal users can use MySpace to follow their favorite bands and artists, check out new music, see what their friends are listening to, and connect with people who have similar music interests. Band and DJ profiles are for artists to showcase their music – new and old – and connect with fans.
Few social networking sites have gone through a bigger identity crisis than Myspace. This site was created in late 2003 and gained enormous popularity in 2005. For a certain generation, Myspace was known for highly customized profiles, bulletins and messaging. In the last few years, this social media service has realized that, in order to stay alive, it needs to cater to a niche market. Today, Myspace solely focuses on the music industry.
Best Social Networking Website for Videos
It's common in daily life to hear a co-worker, family member or friend say, "Did you see that YouTube video?" or "It's on YouTube." Chances are when you search for a video on any internet browser, the top results include YouTube videos. YouTube is the main go-to site for internet videos, and as this social network site is owned by search engine giant Google, top video results on a Google search will always be YouTube videos.
YouTube is a free social network website to join and use. Because Google owns it, YouTube prefers you join with your Google account to make it easier and streamlined. You can post your own videos, subscribe to other channels, and like, dislike and comment on public videos. YouTube also allows integration with many other social networks, letting you share your uploaded or liked videos on your other profiles.
When you think about watching videos online, you probably instantly think of YouTube. You probably find yourself saying things like "I saw it on YouTube" often. While YouTube is not often thought of as a social network, it definitely is one. YouTube lets you share personal videos, view other people's videos and even make connections. As with most other social networking websites, you can make videos private or public.
Things to Consider When Joining a Social Networking Website
The phenomenon of online social interaction has evolved to appeal to more than the stereotype of teenagers looking to expand their networks of online friends. People of all ages and backgrounds have discovered that they can enrich their lives through the contacts they make on social networking websites.
The top social networking sites go above and beyond simply allowing you to share a post and update pictures. Some additional features you should consider when choosing a social network for your situation include instant messaging, photo tagging and notifications. The best social network websites do it all by allowing you to do things like join and create groups based on your interests. You should also be able to do simple tasks such as share music playlists and videos for your contacts to enjoy.
The heart and soul of social networking sites are people's personal profiles. Each one is its own online sanctuary – a place where people can express their thoughts and feelings, post their photographs, and interact with their network of contacts. The most popular social network websites put a strong emphasis on the user's profile, making it easy to use yet still reflective of each user's personality.
The purpose of many social networks is to find friends and expand relationships and contacts. Top social networking websites allow you to search for other members in a safe and easy-to-use environment. Common search functions include the ability to look for people by name, city, school and email address.
The internet can be a dangerous place to post personal information. All social networks should provide privacy customization and give you the ability to set your profile or parts of your profile to public or private. Additionally, these sites should give you the option to report inappropriate behavior and content and to block specific people entirely.
The top social media sites have become the most frequently visited pages on the internet. With the growing selection, you can find the social networking websites that best represent your personality and allow you to share your thoughts and feelings with the widest network of friends, even if you're sharing nothing more than an adorable cat video.

Woman dies from flu in Pueblo
Health officials encourage flu vaccinations
PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. - A middle-aged Pueblo County woman has died from influenza, public health officials announced Tuesday. This was the first hospitalized flu case in Pueblo.
Dr. Joshiah Gordon DO, MSc of Pueblo Pulmonary Associates cared for the patient in the hospital. Her name has not been released. The woman passed away from the flu and its complications, doctors said.
Dr. Gordon stated, "My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost a dear friend and family member. Most people who get the flu do not have severe complications but flu can be unpredictable and strike suddenly. Patients at high risk, including those with diabetes, the very young and the very old, and especially those with underlying lung disease, are at a particularly high risk."
Health officials say it's not too late to get a flu shot. Dr. Christine Nevin-Woods, public health director at the Pueblo City-County Health Department says that this year's vaccine is a good match to the flu strains circulating in the nation. It is readily available at doctors' offices, pharmacies and grocery stores around Pueblo.
There have been over 100 hospitalized cases of the flu in Colorado already and the flu season has arrived about four weeks earlier than usual.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates up to 36,000 Americans die from a flu-related illness annually.
Some people are at higher risk for complications from flu. These include:
" Asthma
" Diabetes
" Cancer
" Pregnant women
" Children younger than five
" Adults 65 and older
Complications from flu may include pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus infections and ear infections and death. Flu may also worsen existing conditions such as asthma or chronic congestive heart failure.
Public Health recommends everyone over six months of age receive flu vaccine, especially people who are at high risk of developing flu-related complications or live with or care for people at high risk. Vaccination against flu helps protect yourself and the most vulnerable people in the community (such as newborns, pregnant women, the elderly, or other respiratory illness such as asthma, and those going through chemotherapy).
"When you experience symptoms of the flu stay home until 24-hours after your fever is gone, without the help of fever reducing medicines," encouraged Dr. Nevin-Woods. This limits the spread of the virus.
Call 2-1-1 for information on upcoming community flu vaccine clinics.

Managing Your Mac Clipboard with iClip
Our family switched from PC to Mac almost four years ago. On the whole, there haven't been a lot of things that I missed about being a PC user. But one that immediately stood out to me was the lack of a good clipboard manager on the Mac. I'm constantly copying and pasting different things in my work, and it's not uncommon for me to try to paste something only to discover that I'd already copied over it. So I would have to go back to the original thing, copy it, and then paste it again. That or—the horror!—I'd have to type it again.
I'd experimented with a few different pieces of software over the years to help me manage a clipboard, but none of them stuck until I discovered iClip a few months ago. Once installed and running in the background, iClip quietly records everything that I copy on its (predictably titled) "Recorder."
The most recent item that I've copied is placed at the top of the Recorder, and every other entry shifts down. Pasting something that I copied previously is as simple as clicking the lower of the two arrows, which points toward the main portion of my screen. I can also click and drag the copied item (text, images, you name it) to where I'd like to paste it.
The Recorder lives off to one side of my screen, and I can pull it up either by moving my mouse to the edge of the screen or by using a keyboard shortcut. As you may remember, I like to create keyboard shortcuts for EVERYTHING (including keyboard shortcuts for Google's tools), so I've set up iClip to appear when I hit Control-Space. The result is that the software tends to stay out of my way but is easy to pull up when I need it. iClip gets even better with some customizable hot keys. Hitting Option-Command-V pulls up a numbered verison version of the Recorder.
Now I can simply type the number of the clip that I want, and it will be pasted without my having to ever touch the mouse or trackpad. It's a small thing, but it's very welcome when I'm writing and don't want to be interrupted.
A final feature that's worth bragging on is the ability to create different sets of clips that you can paste from. If you find yourself using the same text over and over again in emails or when writing an article, you could paste it to a "Correspondence" or "Article" set. You can create as many as you'd like. I don't find myself using this feature since I use text expansion tools to help me type smarter. But if you don't want to shell out for something like TextExpander, iClip might just cover both bases for you.
iClip isn't perfect. I would like, for example, to start typing while invoking the tool and have it narrow down just the clips that fit that text string. And while most of my needed clips show up on the screen, I occasionally have to scroll down through the Recorder, and there doesn't seem to be a keyboard shortcut for that. But on the whole, I'm very pleased with the app. I bought it when it was only $10 on the Mac App Store; it's $19 now, but you can download a trial version and give it a test run for 15 days.
There are, of course, other applications for managing clips on the Mac. One of the most popular is PTHPasteboard. Do you use PTHPasteboard or any other clip manager on your Mac? Let us know which you like best in the comments! Windows and Linux users, please share your favorites as well!

Trouble with tile in shower
2 Attachment(s)
We recently had a custom shower built. Tile was ( glued ? ) to bench area directly to hardy board. After sitting for approximately two months to dry,
the shower was eventually finished. Now two pieces have fallen off. If any
one can help, I would sure appreciate some input. The substance behind the tile is soft still.
Attachment 69117
Hi Brian,
I've got bad news. That's mastic, which is not the right adhesive to use in wet applications. You'll need to remove at least part of the shower tiles especially the lower parts & horizontal. Was the floor done that way too?
Can you describe how it was all built and the materials used? Who did the work. obviously not a tile setter right?
Who told you to wait 2 months before using the shower? I'm guessing the ripoff artist who installed the tile? Hopefully he's not long gone by now.

Wetting his whistle
Page Tools
A boozed-up Canadian man was arrested after he used a car wash - to take a shower.
The 39-year-old drunk was in a cab when he told the driver to pull over at the car wash in Woodstock, Ontario.
He got out, stripped off his clothes and stood under the sprayers and brushes, as astonished witnesses looked on.
The man has been charged with being drunk in a public place.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thank you all for your comments... I will give them all consideration and let you know. The Moyer Price for a completely rebuilt engine with a new head, water pump, carb, upgraded eletronic ignition, and an electric fuel pump is 4400 plus shipping. No sure if there is any warrentee. Not sure how much good a warrentee will do me anyway seeing I am on the West Coast and Don's Shop is on the east Coast (I think). I got an estimate from a shop in MDR to convert to a new Universal Desiel for 12k. A lot of money for a poor sailor! Thank again for all of your input!
Rings: Made by Hastings Part # 6520-std,or 6520-10,-20,-30 for oversize for larger pistons Price U$ 30.00/set
Main Bearings: Made by Federal Mogul Part # 5140M-std,or 5140M10,20,30 for oversize after grinding. Price U$ 120.00 for the set for both bearings
Rod Bearings: Made by Federal Mogul Part# 3875SB-std, or 3875SB-10,-20,-30 for oversize after grinding Price U$ 14.00
having the machine shop fit the rings, and the bearings, turn the crank, valve job, face, and install head about 800.00 labor
gasket set about 100.00
new thermostat 140.00 (use the moyer one)
rebuild kit for carb, 20.00
tune up parts, less than 50.00.
done like dinner.
An A4 is a classic industrial engine. If the knock is something sinister like a "od knock" indicating death and disaster are soon to come...there's no reason a local shop can't do a proper rebuild. Any COMPETENT engine mechanic can do the rebuild, and most handy boatowners could actually do it--given the time and space.
If you can't get a local referral to a good engine shop (one where the shop is fairly clean and the folks aren't shouting and cursing all day) ask a local NAPA or AgWay dealer if they know a good engine shop or tractor engine shop.
There's nothing fancy in an A4, it is just a classic gasoline engine still using 1950's technology and running at such a low compression ratio that it can run damn near forever.
I researched the Moyer site a while back and think the price for a rebuilt a bit steep.(something like $4k) You will also have to pay shipping for both sending your old motor for exchange and for shipment of your rebuilt. In that they are on the east coast, that's probably going to be expensive.
The old A4's are a very simple engine, much like the old Cris Craft K engines from the 40's. Seems like any good engine rebuild shop should easily be able to rebuild one of these. They probably would have to get any needed parts from Moyer. A fellow sailor in my marina had the same problem with his.
Last I knew, he was researching the options for re-installing a small diesel (used) for not much more cost than the rebuilt A4. Food for thought.
|I work for a Marine Service Center in Seattle and it's pretty common to swap in a rebuilt engine, rather than rebuild the existing one. Rebuilts are as good as a new (get a warranty) but much cheaper. Having yours rebuilt would take a lot longer, and would require a pretty specialized shop, lots of places sell rebuilt motors and do swaps, but only some actually rebuild. Can I ask what price you were quoted on the rebuilt A4? Are you just getting a short block or the whole thing?
Engin Knock
My A4 has developed a knock. Not sure which cylinder, but it looks bad. Local marine center suggests buying a rebuilt and have them swap. They are not too interested in rebuilding mine. I have checked Moyer Marine, and I can get a rebuilt there. Are there any other options? Any body in the Redondo Beach Ca. area? Is there any downside to a swap as the Marine center sugggests?
Comments people who have bought a rebuilt and swapped there engine out would be greatly appreaciated (spelling)

Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
Editor, Times-Dispatch:
As a liberal, a member of the ACLU of Virginia, and a self-proclaimed student of the Constitution of this nation I was interested John Schuiteman's letter, "Safe Society Demands Tight Gun Regulation."
The writer is correct that tightened gun regulation would probably increase public safety. However, public safety was not the concern of the drafters of the Constitution or the purpose of the Second Amendment.
To exist in a society and interact with others brings two compelling and conflicting pressures to bear: safety and freedom. With more safety there is less freedom. With more freedom there is less safety. Benjamin Franklin noted that in our quest for safety we will threaten freedom: "Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty or security."
The rationale for citizen gun-ownership lies in the right to overthrow one's government. Armed citizens can never be oppressed. Look at Vietnam, under both the French and the Americans. Read what limited headlines we receive from Iraq. If Eastern Europe had the right to keep and bear arms in 1939, the Holocaust might have been different. Anyone familiar with the Warsaw uprising will agree.
If slaves had access to weapons, slavery would not have lasted as long as it did and the impact of Jim Crow laws would have been tremendously different. The defeat of the British was directly attributable to the Americans' ownership of and ability to access and use firearms. If deer had guns there would unlikely be a hunting season.
The Framers feared oppressive governments and oppressive majorities and believed government oppression, or at least creeping restriction, was inevitable. A good government is one that never takes the allegiance of the people for granted. An armed citizenry must be appeased.
The right to keep and bear arms is another American freedom, unique in the world and undervalued by the majority of Americans, guaranteed as our birthright, and as important to true liberty as freedom of religion, the press, and expression. To be a citizen of the United States is to treasure freedom, self-determination, and liberty above all else.
David P. Baugh. Richmond.
Found this 'lil gem in the comments........
Isn't Mr. Baugh's take in this intresting?
Out of touch with reality is the nicest response I can give at this time.
...He suggested that "every American citizen" should own a rifle and train with it on firing ranges "at every courthouse." -Chesty Puller
You know, I think he might be on to something, What a great idea! Of course, we'll have to get rid of all the criminals first. Perhaps we should just do away with all people thereby eradicating potential criminals too.
Who wants to go first? I'll volunteer Michael J. Doust of the Newport News.
[end sarcasm]
Has anyone read all the comments to that article?
Do away with guns - TopixYeah---and they're still using up everyone else's good oxygen.The antis will never give up . Some have a quest for power , and some have a phobia . Neither condition lends its self to reason or a real discussion of issues .
well now, if I was a criminal, I just got the name of a journalist who isn't armed. Easy pickings, unless he a hippocrite and carries like some of the other hippos.
Just curious...but, where did this David Baugh get the idea that 'tightened gun regulation' would increase public safety? The CDC (I think) did a study and could not find one shred of evidence that any existing gun law reduced violence.
England, along with several other European countries have high and increasing rates of violence and suicide, even though guns are virtually outlawed.
Heightened gun regulations would describe Washington, D.C., always among the highest in the nation in per capita murder rates.
I know YOU did not write this, but where do they get this stuff from?
Could they find ONE piece of evidence from a reputable source?

The right to keep and bear arms is NOT another American freedom, unique..., guaranteed as our birthright....
These are inalienable rights, given to all by our Creator.
We recognize these rights, try to safeguard these rights, but they are not granted to us or by anyone (other than our Creator) and cannot lawfully be taken away. Governments and idiots (did I repeat myself?)may take away our guns as a matter of practice, but they cannot take away the right.

My response:Mr. Doust, I think you are a complete and utter moron whose public utterances should be immediately ceased so as to protect people from your stupidity. I suppose you'll scream your head off about this, but my sanity is far more important than your selfish claim that your First Amendement rights would be violated.

I don't know what you guys are upset about. I'm all for it. If they can prove to me that mine are the last guns in the country, then I will turn them in. Or maybe I won't...after all, I would be the only one with guns....

"The rationale for citizen gun-ownership lies in the right to overthrow one's government." - David P. Baugh
The rationale is toward a basic human right to defend ones self, his/or her children, family, home/residence, and means to survive.
This right is applicable to all persons everywhere regardless of what govt. might be in place or even no government at all (!).
Over throwing the government is not at all on the minds of most anyone including women hoping to fight off a rapist, stalker, or attacker via their firearm nor was it on the mind of the men in Rwanda, Germany, or Poland and other countries around the world through time immemorial where due to government and 'laws' and oppressors human beings have been disarmed be it by forceful proclamation of law or the whim of overlords. Those men without arms and the right muchless means to defend themselves only to suffer and watch their families suffer, greatly, they had no thoughts what so ever in those immediate moments of over throwing government.
Their only thought was simple, plain, and clear. A desire to defend themselves and protect their own and what is theirs from those predators who wish at their whim to take everything away from including their limbs if not life too.
Mr. Baugh like many others including so called 'liberal' persons who believe they "understand" is in fact blind, deaf, and dumb.
So proven by his stated assessment.
I wonder if Mr. Baugh had opportunity, scatch that...were forced, to swap places with this man and his daughter/sister/wife/mother with this woman what would he have to say then about ones "rationale" and desire for having access to and ability to possess firearms?

Overthrow of government, that was not on the mind of these people nor many others in history past and recent at the time that they were being chastised for merely existing. That was not on the minds of women being raped and beaten and murdered in front of their families and children. Over throw of government my arse.
The truth of how ridiculous a statement that is is plainly obvious as the nose on ones own face, and the Framers not being deaf, blind, nor dumb they knew this too.
- Janq
P.S. - As for his guess that tightened regulation would increase safety, he's wrong there too.
Never mind multiple studies that have shown this. The clear undeniable evidence of how wrong that idea and he is can be found simply by looking at the real world results as they occurred toward England before and after their own crack down on not just firearms but everything that goes boom or is remotely sharp and thus dangerous including even I kid you not pocket pencil sharpeners designed for school kids, kitchen knives, and imitation samurai swords. Even with all that tightly restricted and disallowed crime in England _increased_ to the point that they are now the worlds second most dangerous country in the sense of criminal victimization behind #1 Australia, where according to the UN 1 in 3 citizens is a victim of personally directed crime.
Mr. Baugh has no clue how bad things really are and how they could be nor how they have been in times past for people around the world and in America too.

Address: Petersen House 516 10th St. NW, Washington AT E Street. Tel: 202/426-6830.
There's something shockingly blunt about the fact that 453 (or rather, as it now is, 516) Tenth Street is popularly known as 'The House where Lincoln died', which confers a feeling of gloom that pervades the house. When President Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre on the 14th April 1865, his unconscious body was carried across the street to this house, where he was declared dead at 7.22am the following morning. Back in 1865, the house was owned by the Petersen family, who lived on the second floor of the building. The first floor was occupied by boarder, Henry Safford, who volunteered his apartment for the President to rest in. Efforts have been made by the National Park Service to redecorate the house in much the same state in which it would have been when Lincoln's body was resting there, though very few of the original furnishings are still on display. THE TOUR When you enter the house through the second floor entrance, up an external set of stairs, you immediately find yourself in a small, dingy corridor with a set of stairs in front of you, and a surly-looking ranger who immediately greets you with a semi-enthusiastic and clearly much-repeated "WelcometotheHousewhereLincolndied... ifyouhaveanyquestionspleaseaskme." From this corridor, you are directed into the front parlor. The front parlor is where Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, spent much of the night while her husband was treated by doctors in the back bedroom. She was joined by her eldest son, who came from the White House when he heard the news about his father being shot. None of the furniture in the room is original, but efforts have been made to decorate the room in the style of the time. From here you pass through a doorway into the back parlor. The back parlor was where the then Secretary of War, Edwin McMasters Stanton, began his investigations into the events surrounding the President's Assassination. He
questioned eyewitnesses, sent out orders for the arrest of John Wilkes Booth, and passed on news of the events to the rest of the country from this room. From the back parlor, you pass back into the first floor corridor, and through to the back bedroom. The back bedroom was the room within which Lincoln died. The room itself is very small and cramped, very different from the etchings and drawings that you usually see of people visiting Lincoln. The bed on display in the room is not the original bed, but is identical to it. The bed was very short, and Lincoln had to be laid diagonally across it. Doctor Charles Augustus Leale, a 23-year-old doctor, who was the first man to enter the presidential box in Ford's Theatre after the shooting, stayed in this room with Lincoln, holding his hand through the night. At one time, the back bedroom displayed a bloodstained pillow from the bed on which Lincoln died, but this has been removed indefinitely to try to find ways to preserve it. From the back bedroom, you go out the back door of the building, walk down to the back garden, which has been planted with flowers popular in gardens in the 1860s, before heading back into the basement. The only part of the basement that is open to tourists is a corridor back through the house, which leads back onto Tenth Street. FINAL THOUGHTS The décor of the house is very drab throughout, and the lighting is generally minimal, giving the whole building a very depressing feel. It takes only about ten to fifteen minutes to tour the House where Lincoln died. You only visit the three rooms, the upper floors being closed to the public. Each of the rooms has plaques explaining what happened in that room back in 1865, along with portraits of the people who visited each room. It's refreshing to visit a historical location, especially in America, where so little has been done to glamorise the attraction. This is history presented purely and simply, with n
o frills or audio-visual aids. Probably the most touching part of the visit is looking at the tree growing in the pavement in front of the house. Visitors have pressed one-cent coins into chewing gum stuck to the bark of tree, with the side of the coin bearing Lincoln's profile on the outside.

I have been reading so many stories and informing myself about what to expect... the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have been thinking about going to see a doctor for a second opinion but then I think about the price and anesthesia... Dr Valenzuela will be using an epidural so that is what makes me want to just stay with him plus I have seen my friends and their awesome results.
I live in Arizona and will be getting my mommy makeover in San Luis, Son. MEX. I am 32 yrs old and have 2 kids. My oldest is 15 and youngest 2. I decided to get surgery to improve what my pregnancies have left behind. I am 5'3" and weight 133 lbs. I have never dieted in my life and have always maintained a good weight. I am currently a 26b cup and size 5 jeans. My boobies deflated after breast feeding my 2 kiddos and my abs are hidden under some extra skin. I do not have any stretch marks so I wasn't sure about getting a TT but the more I read the stories on here and see the results it becomes more clear to me... I want it all!!! I had my consultation with Dr. Valenzuela across the border 2 weeks ago and this is what we decided on... tt, ba, areolar reduction causing a slight bl, and lipo on flanks and pubis area. That will be surgery one, and after 6 months I will get liposculpture all over, including my under chin. I will have the fat transfered to my booty, little tiny bit on my upper lift, and the sides of my mouth. He said that my cheeks are causing those side unhappy indentations well the weight of them is so I should consider getting the cheek fat removed too... I just might add that to the list. The total amout for all those things is $8000. He gave us major discount because we got a group of friends that all want something done : )

A consistent media meme since Election Day has been that Barack Obama was inheriting a recession that some believe began as far back as December 2007.
Since then, despite various rescue plans from his Administration, and the passage of a $787 billion stimulus package, the stock market has continued to plummet while employers shed payrolls in a fashion rarely seen in history.
This all raises an important question: will media ever blame current economic conditions on Obama, or will they continue to point fingers at George W. Bush despite his residence being in Texas?
Consider that as was reported by Bloomberg Friday, Obama now does indeed have his own bear market (image by Martin Kozlowski courtesy Wall Street Journal):
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 20 percent since Inauguration Day, the fastest drop under a new president in at least 90 years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The gauge has lost 53 percent from its October 2007 record of 14,164.53, slipping 4.1 percent to 6,594.44 yesterday.
More than $1.6 trillion has been erased from U.S. equities since Jan. 20 as mounting bank losses and rising unemployment convinced investors the recession is getting worse. The president is in danger of breaking a pattern in which the Dow rallied 9.8 percent on average in the 12 months after a Democrat captured the White House, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"People thought there would be a brief Obama rally, and that hasn't happened," said Uri Landesman, who oversees about $2.5 billion at ING Groep NV's asset management unit in New York. "It speaks to the carnage that's in the economy and the lack of confidence in the measures that have been announced."
A bear market is defined as a decline of 20 percent or more. [...]
The Dow average has dropped 31 percent since Obama's election. The 30-stock gauge trades at 8.04 times annual earnings, the cheapest since 1995 and down from 10.06 times on Inauguration Day.
Down 31 percent since Obama was elected. Isn't some of that because of him, or is it all Bush's fault?
The Hoover Institution's Michael Boskin thinks Obama's largely to blame:
It's hard not to see the continued sell-off on Wall Street and the growing fear on Main Street as a product, at least in part, of the realization that our new president's policies are designed to radically re-engineer the market-based U.S. economy, not just mitigate the recession and financial crisis.
The illusion that Barack Obama will lead from the economic center has quickly come to an end. Instead of combining the best policies of past Democratic presidents -- John Kennedy on taxes, Bill Clinton on welfare reform and a balanced budget, for instance -- President Obama is returning to Jimmy Carter's higher taxes and Mr. Clinton's draconian defense drawdown.
In reality, as the markets are typically a discounting mechanism -- meaning they are normally forecasting events in the future based on the present -- this collapse in stocks since Election Day has to be partially as a result of investors' concerns about what the new administration would do once in power.
However, just how much that is a factor is indeed debatable given the financial crisis which began in September.
BUT, as many professional investors and traders felt the market had made a high-volume, hear-fear, final capitulation low in October with a successful test of that level in November, there seems no question that came from the Office of the President-elect, and out of the White House since January 20, has not been viewed as good news for the future of the economy.
This is especially the case given the 20 percent decline in stocks since the inauguration.
Will Obama-loving media ever come to this conclusion, or will George W. Bush always get the blame for economic conditions regardless of what Obama and a Democrat-controlled Congress do?
Stay tuned.

M&P Shield - YouTube
Printable View
tell me that's not your back yard ? if it is that is AWESOME!!!!! Nice video .
I would LOVE to have a backyard like that. Being able to step outside and shoot anytime would be awesome.
Another great video from Hickok45. :hand9:
Every time I see a new Hickok45 video he has a new toy in the backyard. The guy is one hell of a shot.
love his videos....but can't stand the skateboard tape he puts on all of his polymer guns....I mean ALL of his polymer guns.
He's a Glock guy at heart and ususally only mildly shows how much he likes a non-Glock. Ex-reserve deputy sheriff and presently school teacher I believe. (bet his class behaves)
The guy has forgotten more about guns than I'll ever know.
Does he ever review a gun that he doesn't like? I've never seen one, but I do like the common touch in his remarks. Question: Does he have to buy all those guns? If he does, he most have gold in them thar woods!:hand36:
The small plastic plug is missing. That would be where the key lock would go.
Hickok is fair about all of his reviews. I'd love to pick up a Shield. It seems to get good reviews and evryone is commenting on the improved trigger. I'm not a fan of the non-exisisting reset of the M&P.
I can honestly say Hickok does the most fair, down to Earth reviews of anyone out there. I like the fact that you actually get to see what the gun is capable of doing, in the hands of a capable person. He manages to do a full review and yet never besmirches or criticizes the gun he's reviewing, just points out the things he notices and what he has observed while using the gun. The shield looks pretty nice, definitely will be a contender in the sub compact 9mm field.
His videos are a fountain of firearms information. The old man can shoot, thats for damn sure!
His video on snub revolvers will make you feel bad about yourself lol.

Men's Volleyball Falls To UCLA, 3-1
April 2, 2003
LOS ANGELES - Marcin Jagoda had 21 kills and Jonathan Acosta added 20 kills to lead the No. 10-ranked UCLA men's volleyball team to a 30-28, 30-26, 27-30, 30-26 win over unranked USC in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation match on Wednesday (April 2) in USC's Lyon Center.
UCLA improved to 14-12 overall and 9-10 in the MPSF to stay alive for the eighth and final berth in the league's post-season tournament. USC dropped its ninth consecutive match to the Bruins to fall to 6-22 overall and 2-17 in the MPSF.
Four Trojans had double figures in kills: Joao Grangeiro (14), Josh Day (13), Mark Dusharme (11) and Derek Otte (10). Day, who hit .435, and Dusharme each had 5 blocks, while Grangeiro had a match-high 12 digs and Phil Small added 6 blocks.
Jagoda hit .421 for UCLA, which outhit the Trojans, .308 to .198, but the Bruins had 23 serving errors. Teammate Chris Pena had 11 kills while also hitting .421 and he posted a match-leading 8 blocks. Adam Shrader had 11 digs and Saul Zemaitaitis served 3 aces.
USC held leads of 25-22 and then 27-26 in the first game, but UCLA then scored the next 3 points to gain control. The Bruins then opened up an early 7-4 margin in the second game and extended it to 22-16 before Troy pulled back within 25-24, but UCLA held on while hitting .389 in the game to USC's .176. The Trojans rebounded in the third game, hitting a blistering .529 and opening up a 20-15 lead which UCLA couldn't overcome. The final game seesawed back and forth, with UCLA getting off to an 8-5 start only to have USC counter with its own 13-9 lead before the Bruins took a 21-18 edge which they never relinquished.
USC next hosts No. 7 UC Irvine this Saturday (April 5) at 7 p.m. in the Lyon Center in the Trojans' final home match of the 2003 season.

President Obama is more "forceful" and "stubborn" about playing golf than he is about pushing through his policy agenda. That was Dana Milbank's take on today's Morning Joe.
As Joe Scarborough described it, earlier this week the normally left-leaning Milbank enjoyed a "12-minute honeymoon" with conservatives after his Washington Post column called Obama's decision to go golfing while the world burned an example of "tone deafness" if not outright "stupid stuff." Milbank doubled down on the notion today with his suggestion that the president cares more about making it to the first tee than enacting his policy positions. Milbank seemed frustrated with Obama's fecklessness. But if the president's love of the links keeps him from pushing his policies, conservatives should be saying "play on, Mr. President!" View the video after the jump.
Let's rejoice over Obama's golfing obsession. Every round played potentially means another part of the Obama policy program founders.
DANA MILBANK: Here's the thing, he is -- how can he get around this vacation problem here? He is very stubborn when it comes to getting out there on the golf course. President Bush said, look, after his famous "Watch this drive" moment, he said, look, I'm going to give up golf for the rest of my term. The president isn't doing that. But why isn't he as forceful when it comes to, say, getting unemployment insurance through, when it comes to getting more of his domestic agenda through, gun control, all the other things where he seems to give a speech and then tiptoe away from it. If he could be as stubborn as he is about continuing his golf game about some of his domestic policies, I think we might get some more results.

Locker help!
I have an ARB air locker and i was offraoding the other day, couldnt make it up this rock, went to turn on my locker, i flipped the switch to engage the compressor, at first it didnt work. flipped it a few more times it finally aired up, i flipped theswitch to engage it and had another try at the rock. i was told both of my wheels were not spinning, only one was. should i completely re-wire my locker?
no one knows about lockers? :/
The real question is have you listened to your compressor to know if the switch is turning it on? If the switch turns the compressor on, it doesn't need to be rewired. Which means there is likely an air leak in the compressor, in one of the fittings, or inside the locker itself.
If the compressor isn't turning on, then you've either got bad wiring, a bad switch, or a bad compressor.
Yep, what Jerry said :D
well the compressor turns on..sometimes. itll fill then ill engage it. i guess it didnt work. how could i go by troubleshooting what the problem could be?
It sounds like it works intermittently which could be the switch for starters. This will be one of those things that you need to go by process of elimination.

"Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of CyberKnife® for early stage prostate cancer, with 93% of patients cancer-free five years after treatment. In addition, our patients appreciate the convenience of only five treatments, with minimal side effects. They are able to resume their normal activities immediately, without any recovery time needed." –Richard Shumway, M.D., Director of the Connecticut CyberKnife Center at Saint Francis
"Preliminary data on erectile dysfunction suggests that it is much less of a problem than with surgery or standard radiation, probably because of the more precise nature of radiation delivery with the CyberKnife." – Dr. Jeffrey Steinberg, prostate surgeon, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center
Prostate cancer affects the prostate gland, which is the part of a man's reproductive system that helps produce semen. It is located under the bladder, behind the rectum and surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine passes.
Cancer develops when cells begin to grow abnormally in the prostate. Prostate cancer is very common in men over the age of 50. For most men, prostate cancer in its early stages does not produce symptoms. As the prostate cancer grows, it may cause difficulty with urination.
The diagnosis of prostate cancer can be life changing for men and their families. Because each patient's condition is different, it is very important to gather all of the information about your cancer and the treatment options available to you before making a decision.
Stages of Prostate Cancer
Surgery and conventional radiation are common treatments for prostate cancer. CyberKnife offers a convenient, effective and minimally invasive alternative. It uses computers and imaging tools to find the exact location of the tumor. The technology tracks the movement of the prostate and the tumor as a patient breathes and as other bodily processes occur. The CyberKnife robot operates with such precision and accuracy to allow doctors to focus radiation on the tumor —and not on any surrounding healthy tissue. Since CyberKnife treatments are non-invasive, patients may lessen their chances of side effects associated with conventional surgical methods used to treat prostate cancer, such as sexual dysfunction and/or incontinence.
Most early stage prostate cancers receive five CyberKnife treatments in one week. Some patients with cancers that may have a higher risk of spreading may be treated with a combination of five weeks of daily standard radiation, followed by three CyberKnife treatments.
Your team of trained specialists at Saint Francis will help you understand every step of CyberKnife treatment.
