Tribute Album 'True To The Blues: The Johnny Winter Story' Out 2/23
The extraordinary four decade-plus recording career of seminal Texas blues-rocking guitar legend Johnny Winter, who celebrates his 70 th birthday on February 23, 2014, will be commemorated with the release of True To The Blues: The Johnny Winter Story. This deluxe 4-CD box set, includes 56 tracks that span his major label career from 1968 until his most recent album of 2011, will be available everywhere February 25, 2014, through Columbia/Legacy, a division of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. The album pre-order is live at http://smarturl.it/jwinter_true_amzn.
The two-time Grammy Award-nominated, perennially touring Johnny Winter will play a special birthday night performance at the B.B. King Blues Club & Grill at Times Square in New York City on Sunday, February 23, 2014. Tickets are available for $30 in advance and $35 day of show. For tickets go to http://www.bbkingblues.com/bio.php?id=3309.
"If it was not for Johnny Winter," said Joe Perry of Aerosmith, "I would have never picked up the guitar!" The testimonial is one of nearly 20 that accompany the box set, from such guitar luminaries as Eddie Van Halen, Angus Young, Pete Townshend, Carlos Santana, Steven Tyler, Billy Gibbons, Joe Satriani, Derek Trucks, Gregg Allman, Leslie West, Vince Gill, Glenn Tipton, Mark Knopfler, and many more. "A lot of people play the blues," said Charlie Daniels, "but there's only a handful who can reach deep into the music and make it real. Johnny Winter can take you on a ride. Juke joints and cotton fields, rotgut whiskey and back alley crap games, lowdown, lonesome, trifling women and hard times. That's the blues, y'all."
True To The Blues: The Johnny Winter Story lives up to its title with a chronological track sequence of studio and live material that underscores Johnny Winter's hard-won reputation as an American blues master. The contents are sourced from no less than 27 separate albums on the Imperial, Columbia, Blue Sky/Epic, Alligator, Point Blank (Virgin), Friday Music, Megaforce, and Columbia/Legacy labels. These range from his independently recorded and released The Progressive Blues Experiment of 1968 ("Bad Luck And Trouble," "Mean Town Blues") up through 2011's all-star duets project, Roots ("Maybelline" with Vince Gill, "Dust My Broom" with Derek Trucks).
Guests abound throughout True To The Blues, starting with the third track as fellow blues guitar giant Michael Bloomfield introduces Johnny Winter to the Fillmore East audience in December 1968, during a "Super Session" live concert date with Al Kooper. It was Winter's first trip to New York City, on the heels of a Texas music scene survey on the newsstands that week in Rolling Stone magazine (not yet one year old!). The issue, coupled with his incendiary playing on an 11-minute jam of John Lee Hooker's "It's My Own Fault," shot the unknown and unsigned-to-a-record-label Johnny Winter to stardom. His six-figure signing with Columbia was reportedly the biggest advance in the CBS Records era to that point in history. Winter would be signed with CBS through 1980.
Among other notable musicians on True To The Blues are Dr. John on "Illustrated Man," recorded in Chicago, 1991. A year later, Winter was invited to the Bob Dylan 30 th Anniversary Concert Celebration at Madison Square Garden, to reprise his blistering version of "Highway 61 Revisited," one of two indelible covers of Dylan, along with Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower," that defined the closing of the '60s. Joining Winter at MSG was that night's all-star 'house band' of G.E. Smith, Steve Cropper, Booker T. Jones, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Anton Fig, and Jim Keltner.
True To The Blues not only showcases Winter and the band lineups he has led over the years, many of them (up through 1976) including his brother Edgar on vocals and an array of instruments (keyboards, reeds, drums). A blues lover's dream collection, the box set also pays homage to the great forebears who influenced Winter, and with whom he was able to record during his long career, among them:
- Willie Dixon and Walter "Shakey" Horton (together on "Mean Mistreater" from Winter's self-titled Columbia debut LP, 1969); and
- Muddy Waters and his band featuring James Cotton, "Pinetop" Perkins, and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith (in the studio on Muddy's "Walkin' Thru The Park," and live on Guitar Slim's "I Done Got Over It," both from 1977).
(It is noted that Johnny Winter produced and played guitar on the final four LPs recorded by his hero Muddy Waters after he left Chess Records. The first three of those titles won consecutive Grammy Awards as "Best Ethnic Or Traditional [i.e. Blues] Recording," namely Hard Again (1977), I'm Ready (1978), and Muddy "Mississippi" Waters Live (1979).)
True To The Blues also draws tracks from Winter's two Grammy Award-nominated albums:
- Guitar Slinger, nominated for Best Traditional Blues Recording at the 27th Grammy Awards (February, 1985); and
- Serious Business, nominated for Best Traditional Blues Recording at the 28th Grammy Awards (February, 1986).
At the core of True To The Blues are the six albums that Winter recorded for Columbia Records: Johnny Winter (1969), Second Winter (1969), Johnny Winter And (1970), Johnny Winter And/Live (1971), Still Alive And Well (1973), and Saints & Sinners (1975). There were also six albums that he recorded for manager Steve Paul's Blue Sky Records (distributed by Columbia's sister imprint, Epic/Portrait/Associated Labels, or E/P/A): John Dawson Winter III (1974), Together (1976), Captured Live! (1976), Nothin' But The Blues (1977), White, Hot & Blue (1978), and Raisin' Cain (1980).
In addition, True To The Blues draws tracks from a number of historic Columbia/Legacy projects: Fillmore East: The Lost Concert Tapes 12/13/68 (2003), The Woodstock Experience (2009), Second Winter: Legacy Edition (2004), and Breakin' It Up, Breakin' It Down (2007).
In addition to Winter's formidable catalog of original albums on Columbia and Blue Sky, True To The Blues revisits a lost classic of rock history, the Columbia three-LP package of 1970 known as The First Great Rock Festivals Of The Seventies - Isle Of Wight/Atlanta Pop. Previously unavailable on CD, it starred (in Atlanta) Johnny Winter And, Poco, the Chambers Brothers, the Allman Brothers, and Mountain; and (at Isle Of Wight, UK) Sly and the Family Stone, Cactus, David Bromberg, Ten Years After, Procol Harum, Leonard Cohen, Jimi Hendrix, Kris Kristofferson, and Miles Davis.
In the pole position, side one, track one of that remarkable vinyl collectors item was "Mean Mistreater" by Johnny Winter And (his group with Rick Derringer and bassist Randy Hobbs, with Edgar sitting in on drums), as recorded live at the [Second] Atlanta International Pop Festival, their only appearance on the triple-record. True To The Blues now adds two more previously unreleased numbers, Sonny Boy Williamson II's "Eyesight To The Blind" (cf. the Who's Tommy) and Johnny's take on "Prodigal Son."

Merrill Cuts International Speedway Outlook
Merrill Lynch cut its estimates on International Speedway (ISCA ).
Analyst Burke Koonce says International Speedway was hurt by unusually poor weather and economic softness. While weather played a major hand in the shortfall, admissions also were likely impacted by heightened terrorism concerns and sagging consumer confidence. He notes advance ticket sales are running slightly behind last year's levels, as seen in other segments of the leisure sector (particularly in cruising), as consumers seem to be waiting until the last minute to make leisure travel decisions. Koonce cut the 50 cents first quarter earnings per share estimate to 47 cents, cut the $2.15 2003 estimate to $2.10, and trimmed the $2.42 2004 estimate to $2.37. He is keeping his neutral rating.

The argument that you should cease trying to fix Second Life and only work on real life is compelling, but SL is a prototyper and generator of options for the online life we all live in many ways -- it is predictive of many aspects of social media. So it is worth trying to fix it when you can.
That Linden Lab would remove the voting feature just when the world's eyes are watching the struggles of the Egyptian people to remove the tyrant Mubarak -- well, it beats all.
What do you think the people in Tahrir Square would think if Mubarak suggested that they move to a "watch" system about his activities, rather than a yes/no in the elections in September? These people would not find that funny.
The arguments that the freakily named Oz and Yoz Linden make in this thread are truly creepy -- theres' not enough democracy, so let's remove it. But they're known quantities of the geek mentality that loathes voting and representative democracy that undermines their tribal powers and rituals. And that's why I'm not going to waste time arguing with people in the comments that fetch up to say it is gamed, it is pointless, it is messy, it is this or that. I will save my breath and try to write more places about this problem and attract more support for keeping the vote.
I've written a personal letter on Facebok to Rod Humble, because the decision came from him: he's in charge now, it's new, and it's something he may have even innovated, perhaps after picking up from the furry open-source Lindens like Soft that they hate votes because it embarrasses them and shows them things the resident population doesn't like -- while they are rigged to only express "yes" and Orwellian happiness, people essentially do achieve a kind of "no" when they *publicize things that are wrong or propose a dissent against Linden policy, like "don't force people to move to Zindra" or "don't allow RedZone to scrape everybody's IP addresses to out their alts" or whatever.
The first thing that should be done is to oppose this -- in letters, tweets, forum posts and inworld demonstrations. Go ahead!
The second thing to do is to plan for alternatives, including even a collective rental of the JIRA software and the creation of a public alternative. Like alternative sims, this is what you have to do to route around Linden Lab.
The third thing to do is to create inworld alternatives, which I will do in some small way but those with lots of sims and scripting power could think of doing this in an effective matter.
I'm putting up a vote right away at the Pharos Lighthouse first on this issue itself, then I might try to go "save" some of the main feature votes of the JIRA and "continue" them. This has its difficulties, especially because there isn't any "yes/no" voting system in SL that I know of that is effective. There are only "polls with 6 answers" which I use -- meaning you have to make up yes/no/don't know/don't care/ etc.
Is anybody interested in working on this with me?
My letter below the fold.
As this decision had to have come from you, I have to express my profound sadness about the decision to remove voting from Second Life. You are ending an extremely important social experiment online that was unique of its kind. There aren't any other software projects in the universe where ordinary people can participate.
Second Life is a prototype for real life online as much as it is a simulator for real life, and when you commit Orwellian acts like this you are harming the future.
The idea that you have to remove this feature because it "isn't representative" enough is flawed -- not enough democracy is never a reason to remove all of democracy -- ask the people in Egypt on Tahrir Square!
The idea that it is "gamed" just isn't true -- Lindens themselves voted on it (something I opposed as unfair) and Lindens themselves constantly referenced votes as a reason to do things. Alts weren't used that much; flash mobs weren't the norm. Even with those flaws, it was a measure of opinion. Straw polls are straw; but they are still polls.
It doesn't matter if this vote doesn't directly govern your actions (though it really should in an ideal world). But it's an important marker of user sentiment.
Most important, these votes are user-generated content.
In a world prizing UGC, you should never, ever remove it.
Indeed, I have to ask what your plan is for saving a copy/snapshot of the JIRA files with their votes when this is deprecated. Surely you can do that much!
But you really should reverse this decision. You should if anything make it better. If you are unhappy about the discomfort it brings to Linden devs, or the measure of the mismatch between user aspirations and business decisions, then make two separate things -- one a Feature Voting System (there already existed a perfectly good one, that could be fixed up a bit, especially with a "no" vote option and a "merge votes" option, and revived -- it was used for some years before the JIRA) -- and the other a bug tracker without votes (it really is an odd idea to "vote" on a bug, as some bugs, regardless of whether or not they are popular, need fixing -- although I'm for keeping democratic accountability to fix the basic injustice of scrum-type cults.)

CANADA STOCKS-TSX may open higher, euro zone data cheers
June 3 (Reuters) - Canadian stock futures pointed to a higher open on Monday as investors shifted focus from disappointing Chinese factory data to better-than-expected euro zone manufacturing data which showed the downturn eased markedly last month.
* Euro zone manufacturing contracted again last month, although at a slightly slower pace, while Asian factories lost momentum, underlining the somber prospects for the world economy in the second quarter.
* San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams reiterated his view that an improving U.S. economy would allow the Federal Reserve to pare back its stimulatory bond buying, but low inflation needed to be closely watched.
* CVTech Group Inc, which provides services to electric utilities, said it had received and rejected multiple takeover offers from a New York Stock Exchange-listed electrical contractor, after its second largest shareholder wrote to investors that the company was withholding that information.
* Bombardier said on Sunday its new CSeries passenger jet was in good shape to make its crucial maiden flight by the end of June as it prepares to unveil orders for the more fuel efficient jet at the Paris air show.
* A long-running fight comes to a head on Monday when court proceedings begin over an $8.5 billion settlement between Bank of America Corp and investors in mortgage securities that turned sour in the financial crisis.

Look through the dozen or so other similar posts about 'where can I find steel' ,etc.
I wouldn't go to a scrapyard, as they probably just paid someone for that steel, and don't usually sell it back. Just go to a steel yard.
My personal favorite is Pontiac Steel. Its about 50 cents a pound for cutoffs on the shorter racks. Then they have a garbage bin with small chunks that are free. Go in, buy a few pieces off the short rack, then ask for some small scraps for welding.
If you are learning to weld and fabricate, then the best thing is having a lot of steel around. If its saturday night and you are working on the truck, you don't want to not have some material for what you need.
In my garage, I usually have on hand:
1.5" square - 0.120 wall
2.0" square - 0.250 wall
1.0" sqaure - 0.080 wall
1-1/4" sch 40 pipe
2-1/2" sch 40 pipe (for driveshafts)
0.250" plate
thin sheetmetal
2" x 0.250" angle
1.5" x 0.120" angle
1" x 0.125" bar stock
2" x .375" bar stock (good for making shackles)
6" x 0.5" plate
3" x 1" bar stock (those last two are usually for recovery points)
and a big bin of all the scraps from the years.
Now I need to build up stock of solid rounds for my lathe..

Light energy is now a part of the equation in figuring how to optimize adhesion, reinforce material to dental structures, protect tissues, speed up the dental procedure itself, and further a host of other situations. Light-activated dental materials have expanded tremendously over the past 2 decades,1 and a diverse, multifunctional curing light has many benefits. This article describes my experience with a versatile, new-generation LED curing light, J. Morita USA's Jetlite 5000.
Modern curing lights evolved to feature quartz-tungsten halogen bulbs as their light source.2 Research proved that an acceptable light intensity level was near 1,000 mW/cm2. As materials began using more and more light-curing initiation, the appearance of newer and more diverse curing lights appeared. The LED and plasma arc curing (PAC) lights were developed.
Halogen lights produced heat that affected the lifespan of the halogen lamp and could affect the dental tissues as well. Initially, concerns over heat buildup in the dental tissues and longer curing times were also obstacles to newer, LED technology.
Plasma arc lights became known to cure fast, but the heat buildup was much higher than LED and halogen lights and often uncomfortable to unanesthetized teeth.
There has been a trend in moving away from the traditional halogen and xenon plasma arc curing lights to smaller, more efficient, portable LED curing sources. This trend is probably due to the rugged nature of the LED and its ability to convert electrical energy to light efficiently and economically.2 Instead of a heat-producing filament, as used in traditional sources, LED curing lights use light-emitting diodes and a semi-conductor. Voltage is applied to the semi-conductor module, and electromagnetic energy is emitted in the form of a photon of light.
The light energy produced by the Jetlite 5000 is a visible blue light with a spectrum of 450 to 490 nm. Most of the newest generations of LEDs produce a wavelength of blue light that is in the absorption spectrum of the two most common photoinitiators: camphoroquinone (CQ) and phenylpropanedione (PPD). The CQ is initiated at approximately 468 nm,2 while the PPD is activated in the 430-nm range.3,4 CQ is the most common photoinitiator for most dental composites, bonding agents, and cements. The Jetlite 5000 cures most popular materials. The clinician should verify light-curing compatibility of materials by curing a small amount outside the mouth before clinical use.
Power and reliability are the first features that are absolute necessities. There are "moments of truth" during the adhesion processes when you do not want your light to shut down. The Jetlite 5000 is a portable, gun-style handpiece with a convenient recharging holder base. The device can operate in a cordless mode producing 300 to 400 activations of 10 seconds before recharging. The device can also operate in a corded mode in case the battery charge is low.
The Jetlite 5000 has an intensity of up to 1,500 mW/cm2 with a unique heat sink technology to keep the curing temperature low. This high intensity allows for a fast, deep cure. The charger base has a bar graph indicator that serves as a battery status meter, charging indicator, and light intensity meter. It also has a power indicator light, a sound buzzer, and a light intensity sensor. These features make it easy to know when your light is ready to work and perform at the highest level. Maintenance of curing light optics is a neglected task that may result in ineffective curing. A built-in light meter serves as a perpetual reminder to keep your light maintenance up to par. The battery is a lithium ion type that allows for faster recharging over the older metal halide batteries. Full charging takes about 2 hours.
The digital display on the light's handpiece has a battery use/indication icon that is useful. This way you or your staff can know when to recharge without emptying the battery. This light can also be used with a cord, which can get you out of a jam if you need it right away or for extended periods of curing such as full resin bonding cases or bleaching.
The handpiece has very convenient operation. One button allows selection of one of 3 intensity modes: fast, standard, and ramp. Another button allows selection of a curing time of 5, 10, 15, 20, or 40 seconds. The trigger button starts the curing exposure.
The fast mode produces an intensity of 1,500 mW/cm2 at durations of 5, 10, 15, or 20 seconds. This mode is ideal for dual-cure materials when a large energy application will initiate the cure and there is no concern for polymerization shrinkage. The standard mode is a pulsed mode. Light intensity of 1,200 mW/cm2 will cure large composite resin restorations with less polymerization shrinkage.5 The ramp mode increases light output gradually over one quarter of the selected duration and remains at maximum intensity for the rest of the duration. The mode has a 20- or 40-second duration.
Although curing lights are predominantly used for the application of resin in dentistry, the evolution of photoinitiation in more materials allows the clinician to be creative.
Case 1: Minimizing White Lines
Figure 1. Conservative class II resin preparation.
Figure 2. Resin restored with ramp cure on buccal, fast cure on the palatal.
Many believe the white lines seen around class I and II restorations are due to resin shrinkage stress. The amount of resin material relative to the cavity preparation sets up a "tug-of-war" between the resin shrinking and cracking of the enamel prisms just outside the margin. The microcracks show up as a white line through the resin.
The preparation design should maximize enamel rod exposure; yet control of the cure has been a challenge until the use of ramp curing.
Figure 1 shows a class II resin preparation. Figure 2 shows the margins cured with a ramp cure on the buccal and a standard cure on the palatal. The use of a ramp cure slows down the composite's plastic phase, allowing it to pull toward the bonded tooth surface and reducing microcracking.
Case 2. Modification of Orthodontic Aligners
Figure 3. Orthodontic tray aligner.
Figure 4. Curing of resin to accelerate tooth movement in aligner system.
The field of aligner orthodontics is growing rapidly, and the modification of aligners allows more creative and effective movements to occur within the confines of the aligner. Figures 3 and 4 show the placement of light-cured resin to a cut-out portion of an Invisalign (Align Technology) aligner to facilitate a more rapid movement of a tooth out of cross-bite.
Case 3. Use of Light-Cured Acrylic Provisionals
Figure 5. Light-cured acrylic (GC America) mixing.
Figure 6. Light-activated resin in dough state in preoperative impression.
Figure 7. Cured acrylic before trimming.
Figure 8. Final cure in the mouth.
Figure 9. Final gold restoration fit precisely in temporized space.
Case 4. Quick Replacement of Fractured Tooth Pieces
Figure 10. Fractured buccal cusp tip.
Figure 11. Reattached tooth structure with direct dual-cure cement.
Many times a bicuspid will lose the buccal or lingual cusp due to expansion of an occlusal amalgam combined with occlusal forces (Figure 10). The use of dual-curing cement applied to both parts of the tooth structure and properly cured can serve as a lasting repair for many years of service. The lighter color of the cusp is due to dehydration. This portion will partially rehydrate within the next 48 hours (Figure 11).
LED technology has caught up and even surpassed halogen technology. Clinicians should learn what they can about the available lights on the market relative to the materials and applications that they will be using them for. This article has described the Jetlite 5000 light, which is versatile, cordless, high powered, quiet, and fast. Creative uses for the LED curing light have also been described.

Hong Kong, 18 February 2009 – Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group today announced that it has signed a management agreement for an exclusive luxury resort currently under development on a pristine, private island in The Maldives.
Mandarin Oriental, Maldives is located 185 kilometres north of the capital city Male, a journey of 45 minutes by seaplane. The luxurious hideaway is being developed on its own exclusive island, Maavelavaru in the Noonu Atoll, encircled by five kilometres of uninterrupted white sand beaches and the turquoise blue lagoons and colourful reefs for which the region is renowned.
Offering the ultimate luxury of space and privacy, the resort comprises 114 spacious, stand-alone villas, including 20 water villas and four Presidential villas, ranging in size from 300 to 1,750 square metres. Each secluded villa is surrounded by generous landscaping, providing total privacy, while opening onto a private pool and the lush vegetation of a serene garden with sweeping ocean vistas. All are designed with exquisite and pampering interiors, with indoor and outdoor bathing options, using a combination of Maldivian architecture and internationally-sourced materials. The largest of the villas have private spa facilities, and the water villas extend over a lively coral reef affording stunning sunrise and sunset views. Mandarin Oriental's seamless technology and superior entertainment systems, for which the Group is renowned, are employed throughout.
Alfresco and underwater dining with an eclectic selection of local and international cuisines will be available at seven restaurants and bars, including an all day poolside café and bar, a beachfront signature restaurant, an alfresco Maldivian grill, a comfortable lounge and a dramatic underwater wine cellar with private dining room. An authentic Lebanese restaurant and bar, as well as a Japanese restaurant will be built over the ocean. Meeting facilities include a spacious multi purpose function room, a business centre and a well-stocked library.
The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Maldives will be a destination in itself, focusing on the well-being of its guests by offering total rejuvenation and relaxation in a serene, meditative setting. A spacious spa which is situated within 13,000 sq metres of tropical gardens, will feature 14 expansive treatment villas and six treatment suites, situated around a lavish outdoor Jacuzzi. Each villa consists of four separate pavilions dedicated to Mandarin Oriental's welcome rituals, signature treatments, water and heat therapies and relaxation areas, allowing guests to be guided through an intimate and personalised spa journey.
There are endless leisure pursuits for those who tire of the transparent waters and remote beauty of the island, including a fully equipped fitness centre, a badminton court, tennis courts, squash courts, a soccer field and a beautifully appointed outdoor lap pool. In addition, there is a comprehensive water sports centre with a full service diving school, catering for guests who wish to explore the abundant coral reefs that fringe the island. For added peace of mind, the resort also has a fully equipped decompression chamber and emergency medical clinic available on site.
The project is being developed by Athama Investments Pvt. Ltd., a private Maldivian company with extensive and intimate knowledge of the destination.
"Mandarin Oriental, Maldives will be a unique and extraordinarily private hideaway retreat that offers our guests tranquillity and seclusion in a stunning, natural setting. We look forward to bringing Mandarin Oriental's renowned levels of service to this important leisure destination," said Edouard Ettedgui, Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.
"We are delighted to be working with Mandarin Oriental on creating the most exclusive resort in The Maldives," said Ibrahim Abdul Latheef, Managing Director of Athama Investments Pvt. Ltd. "On opening, this luxurious retreat will embody Mandarin Oriental's legendary service philosophy and the unique sense of place inherent to all its hotels," he added.

How do you know which column to put the figures in the trading account
The furthest right column is for final calculations, and you move in left as you need to do workings. If you look at marking schemes you will understand. I didn't know where all the calculations went when I first started, but once you do a load of them, it will come natural.
To build up on what K_684 said:
In the first column, you have your details which you know (obviously).
In the second column, you have figures here if there is more than 1 Purchase and a less expense with adjustments (like light and heat prepaid or light and heat due).
In the third column, if you have figures in the second column, your final answer for them will go here. Less expenses also go here as well as the final answer to a less expense with an adjustment. If sales has returns also, you put sales and sales returns into this column too.
In the fourth column which is the final column or third small column, your final answers / calculations go here. If you're adding reserves at the end, you put them also into this column.
And like what he said ^, once you do more and more, it will become very easy and you will know how to do them just like that (FINGER SNAP).

Frozen Westerbeke
Looking at a P30 with frozen westerbeast. Haven''t dug very deep. Diesels don''t scare me. I figured starting with Marvel Mystery Oil and doing a crankshaft-up rebuild as I did with my old Volvo MD2B. I can get the engine out of the boat pretty easy. Generally speaking, and without more, how do anyone feel about the Westerbeke? Tempted to toss it if it isn''t cooperative, add an outboard bracket and have the boat rated for racing engineless. Might get a little TOO tender, though. Whaddaya t''ink? Where do I go for parts, manuals and guidance? Thanks for input.
Frozen Westerbeke
I''d call the folks at Westerbeke - or use their helpful website - to learn if the W model you''re looking at is eligible for parts (www.westerbeke.com) and then I''d call Trans Atlantic Diesel (nice folks, seem to have oodles of spare parts for older engines) if the W answer is a disappointing one.
A P30 with an outboard? No, I don''t think so...
Frozen Westerbeke
That would''ve been my guess. I can probably come up with a Yanmar 2GM that would do the job. I''m excited about ramping this boat up for Caribbean racing, though, and getting ready for next year. The price is right, and I''ve got another boat for cruising and a 28'' "Moonie" center console I shipped down from Newport for fishing. I hate the boatyard after about a month, but for some reason, I just can''t bring myself to pay someone else to work on my boats. It is truly a sickness.
Frozen Westerbeke
Go to the A4 website at www.moyermarine.com and search that site for: Marvel Mystery Oil "Spa". If just the piston rings and valves are frozen sometimes (more often than not) a MMO soak and very gentle ''persuasion'' will break the engine free. Many times a frozen engine ''deeply'' soaked in MMO will break free and not need a rebuild. If you "force it'' to turn over you will inevitably break the rings.
Frozen Westerbeke
Keep those cards and letters coming. I''m no expert, but I figured I could rebuild the Volvo MD2B as well as the drooling mechanic that offered to in Maine a few years ago for $1200 plus parts. It was useful and educational and actually quite easy. Thanks for the lead. We''ll let you know if I get anywhere with it - or otherwise. ''Course, there''s always the tendency to force. Now I''ll be thinking about that. Thanks again.

No beer op tap, but a pretty decent selection of bottled imports and craft beers. I didnt really sample the food, just a salted nut mix with my Brooklyn Lager. Service was ok. Worth a try.
northropfrye (263) Steinbach, Manitoba | April 22, 2016
Definitely worth stopping by. Its within walking distance of the Alibi Room, and (unlike Alibi Room) open during the day, so if youre in Gaston at that time this is place to go. Not a huge selection - maybe 10-12 taps, but all quality.
TimE (341) Tokyo, Japan | January 15, 2016
This place was cool as shit for atmosphere. Lots of exposed brick walls, with dark wood, low lighting and cozy feeling. Didnt eat, but food looked solid. Tap list was small, but seemed to be fairly well thought out. Didnt like the fact they only had one size of draft, but service was good and this place really clicked with me. Great date spot or a place to go in a small group of non-hardcore beer geeks.
Ferris (1406) Burnaby, British Columbia | January 11, 2016
Nice little restaraunt with lots of wood and cozy. Not good for big groups, but nice for a few people. Service is OK and tap list is small, but they carry lots of bottles. With so many in the area, I would say this is a nice stop for the atmosphere or food, but if you are ticking go elsewhere.
cbnz (58) Berlin, Germany | October 15, 2015
Gerbeer (138) Vancouver, British Columbia | November 18, 2014
Nice little place with local craft on tap and a couple of Belgians in bottles. Worth a stop if in Gastown.
adamnowek (113) Brussels, Belgium | September 14, 2014
brokensail (1358) Dublin, California | September 2, 2014
Sat out on the patio area (or enclosed portion of the sidewalk, if youd rather). Right on the corner of Alexander and Water, so very much in the thick of things in Gastown.
Small interior with a handful of tables. Both the food and beer menus are on the short side as well, but thats fine with me. They do some fancied versions of classics like Poutine and burgers, which are kind of cool. Some sliders and apps (cheese plate, etc.).
In terms of other places in town, the beer selection is perhaps not as exciting. But they do have some local stuff and a number of Belgian beers. Pretty decent prices.
I enjoyed this place, but I dont know that I would go out of my way to come here...being so close to places like Alibi Room and Steamworks makes it a convenient stop, though.
mcberko (927) Vancouver, British Columbia | May 24, 2014
Cool little place in the main Gastown centre, worthy of a quick pub stop. They now have several beers on tap at reasonable prices. I wouldnt bother buying the marked up bottles. Service is very friendly and the atmosphere is very nice.
barereet (1) , | December 3, 2013
HenryXXX (11) British Columbia | May 1, 2012
I really enjoyed the room and the whole concept of the restaurant. I just wish they had a better more unique selection. Had a great time and will be back!!

Our lofty endeavor
2 Attachment(s)
New here and so is our building experience! Since we are now empty nesters we figured we start with living in a garage/apartment. I'll probably be on here asking annoying questions! ........our humble beginning......
I have been talking with my brother about doing the same thing. He has way to many big boy toys and is single. He needs a shop much more than a house. Much more usefull space. Are you planning on a deck off the 2nd floor? More pics! I will be following your progress. Dorf Dude...
Yes, deck on the back. I will take pics as we go! 5" Slab is 30 x 32 at 3500 PSI. Right now we have 12" I-Beam up. C-Channel purlin on top floor is 8" on 12" centers. Husband is a welder not a carpenter so if anyone sees something going awry, pls tell us! :eek:
Good luck, looks like it will be fun.
I take it by looking at those steel stairs that you will have a second floor?
Definitely not lacking in the strength department!
Yes, upstairs is our one bedroom apartment. Stout because I'm petrified of bad storms. :whistling2:
You have a bomb shelter there! You must be on the Gulf. I didn't see an escape hatch in the floor for tornados though? Keep us updated, Dorf Dude
Don't laugh :blush:, we have a tornado shelter already in the ground nearby. :eek: :laughing:
That is definitely what I call being prepared. If you aren't one already, you should become a boy scout leader!
I hope that you never need to use that shelter, but in the event you do, it must be a comfort to know it is there.
Do you have any sort of schedule for getting the building to the lock-up stage? Or is it one of those "Well, it will be done when it is done" sort of things.
Nice Place you are starting. I to am a welder by trade, been remodeling a house since august. I wished my wife would go along with me building a house the way I want it. :D It would be all steel and wrought iron all around. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Bike Camping
A couple of weeks ago, we biked to the ward campout. The campsite was 16 miles away and the trip included a 1000ft elevation climb.
I carried all the kids in the Madsen and McKay pulled the equipment in the trailer. Here we are getting ready to go:
Our plan was to bike up to church (only 7.5 miles into the trip, but up 700ft) and refill the water bottles, have a potty break, and change the baby's diaper. And then from there, finish the route.
When we bike to church on Sundays, it is usually in the morning, right after a good breakfast. It is also not normally hot out, nor am I carrying all 3 kids- McKay takes one in the trailer to even out the weight we are carrying. We get to church in 45 minutes- it's easy and we have no stops or trouble.
But on this day, it was hot, lunch had been 3 hours earlier, and I hadn't been keeping myself hydrated. So before we made it to the church building, I had to stop twice because of feeling nauseated from dehydration and heat. I might be doing a triathlon in September and the fact that I couldn't do a ride that I normally can was disheartening. True, there was an extra 45 pounds on my bike this time, but still! I had an assist!
Oh well. Then we continued. 8.5 miles to go. I hadn't quite used half of the power on my assist yet, so that was a good sign.
We went through some neighborhoods (more water stops, more hills, so many hills) until we found a hill that we learned later is notorious for being a terrible, no good, very bad hill. If you are a cyclist in Oakland, you may know it as "Butters Hill." I looked at that hill and knew for sure there was no way I could get up that with the kids. McKay pushed his way through the intimidating hill, using his assist at full. I made the kids get out and walk. Still, pushing that bike up the hill was no picnic. I think the bike is about 90 pounds on its own (with the assist and battery) plus the baby, who I did not take out of the bike... it was rough pushing that up the hill!
The hardest part of this leg of the ride was just that once we were on Redwood, it was all windy streets, motorcyclists and drivers passing us too closely and too quickly. There were no good places to stop. One of our fellow ward members passed us on his own bike- his wife and baby took all the equipment in the car. We gave him some water and watched him ride off on his 20 pound carbon frame road bike.
When we were about 2 miles out, the bishop came up and offered to take the kids. We took him up on that offer and so the last bit was a lot easier for me. McKay's BionX was completely drained by the time we got there and mine was down to almost nothing. But we made it!
We tried out our Biolight.
I woke up way too early.
Linda was a bit muddy. Also, she liked this- it was "flying!"
The raccoons came and checked out our bike overnight.

OverviewRespond to this Ad
DescriptionRespond to this Ad
If you own construction equipment or heavy duty trucks (free & clear) and need working capital for your business, you should consider a sale-leaseback to get the money you need, without selling your equipment.
Sale-leaseback is a financial tool for those who do not qualify for traditional bank loans or working capital loans. This program is much easier to qualify for and provides the means to acquire substantial amounts of capital quickly as opposed to other formats. If you qualify, the program will allow you to obtain capital equal to a percentage of the equipment value with repayment terms from (24-36) months.
* Sub-standard credit is OK with very few exceptions.
* Continue to use the equipment for income generation.
* Receive your funds in (7-10) business days.
* Trucks and/or equipment must be owned free and clear.

So maybe it's already implemented? Yes? No? How to test it?

One of my favorite Florida places, Point Washington has largely escaped (at least so far) the sprawling development that has taken place along the state's famed Emerald Coast.
Located just north of U.S. 98 between Panama City Beach and Destin, Point Washington is a charming bayou community blessed with beautiful views, ancient oak trees shrouded with Spanish moss and an array of historic sites. Brigadier General William Miller, second-in-command of Confederate forces at the Battle of Natural Bridge, once called Point Washington home, as did a number of other Civil War veterans, both Union and Confederate. A small sign points out the location of Miller's home and a walk through the community's historic cemetery reveals the graves of a number of Civil War soldiers.
An important port in 1861, Point Washington served as a place where cotton, timber, sugar and other commerce coming down the Choctawhatchee River could be transferred to schooners, sloops and steamers for the trip on down the coast to Pensacola, Mobile and New Orleans.
Union forces established a post there at about the mid-point of the war, both to serve as base for minor operations in the vicinity and to assist Confederate deserters and Unionists in making it through the lines. As a result, Point Washington was a major recruiting station for the 1st Florida U.S. Cavalry when efforts began to organize that regiment during the winter of 1863-1864.
Troops from Point Washington staged a disastrous raid up the Choctawhatchee River in February of 1864. Although the Federals succeeded in capturing Captain Gabriel Floyd's company at Cedar Bluff near present-day Ebro, they were counterattacked by Confederates who freed Floyd's men and captured almost the entire raiding party.
The steamer Lizzie Davis, moving in support of Brigadier General Alexander Asboth's raid on Marianna, was ordered to Point Washington in September of 1864 after Asboth and his men turned inland. The command reunited with the steamer here at the end of the raid.
Point Washington became an important lumber mill town during the years after the war and today is home to the magnificent Eden Gardens State Park. To learn more about the gardens, please visit www.exploresouthernhistory.com/edengardens.

The film maker, which has struggled to adapt to the transition to digital photography, said digital sales could grow 37% a year up to 2007.
Kodak recorded a sharp rise in third quarter profits although sales from its traditional film business fell.
The firm is aiming to cut its workforce by 12,000 over the next three years.
The cost-cutting will result in the loss of 600 UK jobs.
Digital boom
Kodak previously said it was expecting 26% annual growth in digital sales over the next three years.
The firm has now revised that figure on the back of encouragingly strong sales of digital cameras, which rose 41% over the period.
Kodak's third quarter profits were ahead of market expectations although sales growth was limited.
Including exceptional costs from the sale of a subsidiary business, Kodak made a pre-tax profit of $479m compared with $122m for the same period last year.
Stripping out exceptional costs, however, pre-tax profits actually fell $20m to $226m.
Total sales rose 1% to $3.36bn but this masked a mixed performance across the group's operations.
Sales of film, single use cameras and other traditional products fell 20%.
However, sales of digital products - including X-ray systems, commercial printers and phone kiosks - shot up 39%.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Tennessee climbed to No. 4 in this week's USA Today/NFCA Division I Softball poll, as released by the NFCA on Tuesday.
Tennessee moves up two spots in the poll after starting the season at No. 6. The Lady Vols are 5-0 to start the season after sweeping last week's games in the Red Desert Classic in St. George, Utah. It is the seventh time in program history that UT has started the season 5-0. Tennessee earned wins against Southern Utah, Idaho State, Utah State, South Dakota and BYU.
The Lady Vols' 18 runs scored in their 18-3, five-inning win over Southern Utah are the most ever scored by a UT squad in a season opener. The team batted .424 through the first five games of the season and outscored opponents, 53-8. Junior Ellen Renfroe threw her second career no-hitter in a 10-0, five-inning win over Utah State on Friday.
Alabama remained at No. 1 in the poll with 21 first-place votes. Oklahoma is second with 10 first-place votes. Arizona State climbed up one spot to No. 3. Florida made a big jump from No. 14 to No. 5, giving the SEC three schools in the top five. The SEC has eight teams in the top 25.
Tennessee will be back in action this week when the Lady Vols head to Tampa, Fla., to play in the USF 4 Team Tournament from Feb. 15-17. UT will play North Carolina State and Coastal Carolina on Feb. 15. The Lady Vols will face tournament host No. 12 USF on Feb. 16 followed by a semifinal game and either a finals game or consolation game on Feb. 17.

Charles mackem_ a request from a reader, and a great idea _ lifestyles _ themountainpress. com
A friend of mine called last week and said she really enjoyed reading my column, and requested a recipe for a simple, tasty vegetable soup. We hadn't talked in a while, and it was really nice to catch up with her. Now, I don't usually take requests. In fact, this is the first column I have written because of one.
This isn't because I have anything against requests in general, or that I don't want to write about what
people actually want to eat, but because nobody had ever asked before. As a matter of fact, after 50-odd columns, subjects are getting a bit harder to come by than they used to be, and I was really happy have a good idea for a column (thank you, Linda!), and happy to oblige.
Besides, this was a great idea, one that I really should have thought of before. The weather has turned chilly, and having a good supply of tasty soup is essential for keeping up morale. Soups and stews are some of my favorite types of food to cook: They're generally healthy, they usually aren't too terribly difficult to make, and they come in an almost infinite variety. For any type of mood, there is a soup or a stew to match.
There's something super satisfying about making a tasty batch of soup. It's nice that a whole meal comes in one pot. It's also nice to get a variety of vegetable and meat together. There's just something comforting about the whole process. In the words of A. A. Milne, creator of Winnie the Pooh, only the pure of heart can make a good soup.
Anyway, this is a favorite of mine, but it has a lot of areas that are certainly open to interpretation. I've made it without the wine many times when my cupboard has been unfortunately bare. If I plan on freezing some, I'll do so before adding the potatoes, which never come out of a freezer in particularly good condition. Pork can be substituted for the beef with no problem at all.
In other words, make this recipe your own, and only use the elements in it that appeal to you. I really like cabbage, but leave it out if the thought of that particular vegetable makes you shudder. The same goes for the mushrooms. In fact, the only single thing that I really think is essential is making sure that the meat, whatever it is, has been really well browned. It makes a huge difference in flavor.
So as winter approaches, let us raise a bowl of soup to the oncoming season. Let's face it with cheer in our pure hearts, as evidenced by our excellent soups. We don't actually have any say in the matter, anyway.
Season the chuck with half of the salt, pepper and basil, and in a large sauté pan on medium heat, brown thoroughly on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then cut into ½-inch cubes. Meanwhile, add garlic, onion and mushrooms to the same pan and sauté for 3 or 4 minutes, taking care to scrape all the fond (caramelized brown bits) off the bottom. Deglaze pan with 1/4 cup of the red wine and transfer to a large stock pot. Add the stock and all the remaining ingredients except for the peas and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour. Add the peas; increase the heat to medium and cook for 5 more minutes. Adjust seasoning and serve.

The Promise of Paradox: A Celebration of Contradictions in the Christian Life by Parker J. Palmer
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book explores spiritual questions with the open and generous spirit of Christian mysticism, challenging forms of Christianity that are closed and even cruel.Parker advocates the rich possibilities that emerge when we learn to "live the questions."

Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0787996963, Hardcover)First published in 1980—and reissued here with a feisty new introductory essay—The Promise of Paradox launched Parker J. Palmer's career as an author and his ongoing exploration of the contradictions that vex and enrich our lives. In this probing and heartfelt book, the distinguished writer, teacher, and activist examines some of the challenging questions at the core of Christian spirituality. How do we live with the apparent opposition between good and evil, scarcity and abundance, individuality and community, death and new life? We can hold them as paradoxes, not "either/ors," allowing them to open our minds and hearts to new ways of seeing and being.

Indian Rocks Christian defensive lineman Devonte' West signed with Division II Delta State, Golden Eagles coach Mark Buchanan said.
West also was considering Lenoir-Rhyne before choosing the Statesmen. Though he was a two-way lineman at IRC, West will be used strictly as a defensive tackle at Delta State, which advanced to the Division II final in 2010 and the semifinals last year.
This past season, West recorded 51 tackles, six sacks and two forced fumbles.

MANAGUA – A volcano in Nicaragua that has been dormant for 110 years spewed gas and lava Sunday for the second time in a month.
The volcano known as Momotombo in the west of the Central American country rumbled into activity before dawn, but then calmed down again, the Nicaraguan Institute for Territorial Studies said.
No one living near the mountain was hurt, it said.
Momotombo stands 1,297 meters (4,255 feet) high, some 40 km (25 miles) from the capital Managua, separated by a large lake called Lago Xolotlan.
On Dec. 1 the volcano belched gas and ash and then lava that poured onto uninhabited areas on the slopes of the mountain.
Then on Christmas Day the volcano was rattled by some 20 small earthquakes of up to 3.0 in mqgnitude, at a depth of 10 km (6 miles).
Its last big eruption dates back to 1905.
In 1980, the volcano emitted lava, but there was no eruptive explosion. In 2006 it emitted gases only.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Mummy berry is a fungal disease of blueberies which causes shoot blighting and fruit decay. Previous studies of mummy berry disease have identified resistance in some selections of blueberries, and have suggested that plants which show very little early spring shoot growth are relatively resistant to this disease. This study was undertaken to determine if the observed resistance in the selections is due to the fact that little or no tender leaf tissue is present at the typical time of infection, so that they escape being infected, or whether they have some true resistance. In this study, the vegetative tissue of plants was artificially advanced so leaf tissue was present in significant amounts during the natural infection period. We observed that resistant materials either showed a slight increase in infection rates as greater amounts of tissue was present, or showed a decrease in susceptibility as shoots became longer. In cases where susceptibility increased, none of the increases were large. These results suggest that avoidance provides some measure of resistance in the cultivars examined, but also that there exists some innate resistance above and beyond avoidance. This information will be useful to plant breeders and others interested in the mechanisms of disease resistance in plants.
Technical Abstract: Shoot growth of six blight resistant and one susceptible highbush blueberry cultivar was manipulated during the primary infection period of mummy berry disease to evaluate whether some portion of the observed resistance was based on disease avoidance. In experiments across two years, resistant cultivars either increased in susceptibility continually or exhibited a peak and decrease in susceptibility as shoots elongated. In a larger experiment with both susceptible and resistant cultivars, peaks of susceptibility were identified for 'Bluejay', 'Darrow' and 'Jersey'. In contrast, general decreases in susceptibility were identified for 'Duke', 'Blueray', and 'Croatan'. Shoot lengths associated with peak susceptibility varied among cultivars, and within cultivars in different experiments. The increases observed at longer shoot lengths were generally small. This suggests that cultivars have intrinsic relative levels of susceptibility, but that the maturity and general condition of the plant tissue also affect observed disease levels.

Jeremy Bates resigned as Great Britain's Davis Cup captain yesterday after the team's defeat by Israel in Eastbourne at the weekend. As revealed in yesterday's Guardian, speculation about his future in the role had been rife for days, even before he led his team to their worst result since he became captain in April 2003.
Despite stepping down from his Davis Cup duties Bates will remain in his administrative role as the Lawn Tennis Association's head of performance.
"I have enjoyed my time as Davis Cup captain and it has been a privilege both to do the job and to work with the players," he said in a statement issued by the LTA. "I would like to thank all the players who have been in the team for the tremendous work that they put in."
The LTA's chief executive Roger Draper said yesterday that he wanted to get a new captain in position as soon as possible, ideally before the team's crucial relegation tie in Ukraine from September 22-24. He said that he would appoint an interim captain if necessary. Defeat in Ukraine would mean relegation to the Euro African Zone Group Two, the Davis Cup's third division.
Draper is restricted in his options when it comes to replacing Bates. Andy Murray's former coach Mark Petchey would be a suitable candidate but the sour nature of his split from Murray probably rules him out. Tim Henman is unlikely to consider the role until he retires and, although Greg Rusedski might agree to act as interim player-captain, the former British No1 John Lloyd has emerged as the front runner to take up the position on a long-term basis.
Lloyd expressed strong interest in the job yesterday. "The Davis Cup is something I've loved and I'd be an idiot if I wasn't interested," he said. "But the bottom line is that no one's mentioned it to me and there would be a lot to discuss if they did. Let's make no mistake about it, the defeat to Israel marks a new low for Britain in the Davis Cup." Lloyd, now 51, was Davis Cup coach under his brother David's captaincy between 1995 and 2000.

Without any other bandmembers, I've restricted only to myself in songwriting. But well, I need the backing drums and multiple tracks for harmonics, leads, etc.. Personally I don't like those blues backing tracks (I'm playing progressive melodic death metal), so it's not an option.
How should I do this?

you should use guitar pro and put the backing track you want by programming it

General Navigation Techniques

Successful coastal cruisers are well acquainted with the basic elements of navigation.

In an earlier article I classified the primary phases of navigation as Inland Waterway, Harbor, Harbor Approach, Coastal, and Ocean (see Navigation Phases==). The Harbor and Harbor Approach navigation phases can also be called departure and arrival, and the Coastal and Ocean phases can be broadly combined as navigation underway. For each phase I explained the different aids to navigation used. Now I would like to discuss in detail the navigation techniques used within these phases.
First off, no matter where you are going, you will need to do some planning. In the planning stage you will draw the course lines on your chart from the departure point to the arrival point. These two points may not necessarily be your berth positions. The departure and arrival points, in most cases, will be the buoys that mark the entrance to the harbor, channel, inland waterway, or traffic lane for that port. For coastal routes you will usually have several waypoints along the way as you proceed from buoy to buoy, avoid hazards, and go around islands, points of land, rocks, or reefs.

The first part of the preparation stage is pre-departure knowledge of distances and courses you'll be sailing.

 After you have all the lines drawn, measure the true course and distance, and label this information along each line. Place the course above the line and the distance below it. I also like to record this information on a navigation log along with my predicted speed and estimated time en route (ETE) for each leg. By summing up the ETEs, I can determine the total en route time. Once I know my actual departure time, the estimated time of arrival (ETA) can be easily calculated. For each waypoint I will also measure and record the latitude and longitude for use in the GPS.
On the chart, I like to highlight important information with different colors, making it easy to use while underway. For example I use yellow, red, and green for the important lighted buoys; I also use yellow to highlight navigation channels and ranges, depth contours, and the variation in the compass roses. I also like to draw additional latitude and longitude lines to make the plotting easier and highlight the latitude and longitude degrees and minutes on the edges of the chart. I can gussy up my navigation chart all I want as I use a new chart every time I go out. The old charts along with the deck log are filed away after the voyage is complete.
Now, if you are using one of the computerized navigation and electronic charting programs, this planning stage is easily done. Once finished it can be printed out and the waypoints uploaded into the GPS with a few clicks of the mouse. I would also highly recommend that you plot these points on a regular paper chart for use while underway. If you use the ChartKit charts, most of the coastal routes have been plotted and annotated with the course and distance between prominent buoys and waypoints.

Keeping track of navigation aids makes life aboard less stressful in harbor and channel situations.

For the departure phase, I place an entry in the logbook that reads "departure from" and record the cast-off at local time and the precomputed distance and travel time to the departure point. The process of getting out of a harbor varies considerably from place to place and can be as simple as casting off and heading directly for the harbor entrance buoy, or as complex as following several different channels, range markers, and traffic lanes to a mid channel buoy. Getting out of most harbors also includes avoiding lobster or crab traps, moored vessels, and other maneuvering boats. For this reason, the departure phase is usually done under visual conditions using the radar and the depth finder and doesn't involve any formal navigation procedures, chart plotting, or loggingunless you are in a long channel or a traffic lane. In this case, record the turning points and times on the chart along with your average course and speed until you get to your planned departure point. During the harbor departure, refer to your chart and follow the buoys, channels, and range markers. The rules of the road will often come into play as you encounter other vessels while departing a busy harbor. At the departure point annotate the chart with a fix symbol (a full circle) and the local time placed horizontally near the fix symbol. Also record the departure time, course, and speed in the navigation log book and the deck log. Give the desired compass course and deck log to the helmsman. Make sure that there are no misunderstandings between the two of you concerning exactly what you want for a course. For more information on the desired course versus the actual course, see the SailNet column titled Dead but not Deceased by John Rousmaniere.

Professional work in the chart room can save the need for professional work in the boatyard later on.

On a crewed boat, the helmsman will make every effort to hold the desired course and speed, but there will be times when that may not be practical or possible. For this reason the helmsman will record the actual compass course and speed steered and the time of any change of either one. Minor maneuvering to avoid lobster traps and other vessels need not be recorded. When it comes time to plot a Dead Reckoning position, the navigator will use the deck log recorded information. Never assume that the helmsman held the desired heading and speed. To do so can lead to a dangerous situation or at best to a lost or confused navigator. In my 30 years as a professional navigator, I was never lost. Temporarily misplaced or partially confused, yes, but never lost. In one of his columns, John Rousmaniere writess about an important long-distance race that was lost because the helmsman compensated for leeway when steering a course without telling the navigator who had already done so in setting the course. The result was that they ended up several miles to windward of the markone more illustration of the importance of clear communications.
Obviously on a small boat with minimum crew, the navigator and the captain of the vessel can be the same person, while a family member or close friend acts as the crew and helmsman. In this type of situation the voyages are usually short, with the exception of the long-range cruising families. Whatever the crew situation, it is always best to take a professional approach when it comes to navigation and seamanship.
For navigation while underway, the three basic principles of Dead Reckoning must be followed:

		A DR can only be started from a known position

		Only true courses actually steered are used for the DR track

		Only the speed through the water is used for calculating the distance traveled.

A DR position must be plotted every hour on the hour, at every change of heading or speed and at every fix. Until a fix is obtained, you must continue plotting the DR position from the preceding DR position. You may plot an Estimated Position (EP) using predicted set and drift or perhaps a single Line Of Position from a depth contour or bearing off a buoy, but the DR will continue from the DR position and not the EP.

Arriving in an unfamiliar harbor always requires prudence and often patience.

When you arrive at the entrance buoy for your destination, record the time and annotate the fix on the chart. The arrival phase into the harbor and to the dock or mooring point will use the same navigation procedures and techniques as the departure phase.
In addition to Dead Reckoning, by plotting on the chart by means of course and distance from a known location, you can also do DR by computation. The various methods of DR computation by calculation are collectively called the Sailings. Of the eight different types of Sailings listed by Bowditch, the ones most commonly used are Great Circle and Mercator. For voyages of less than 200 miles, either one will give accurate results, but the Mercator calculations are much simpler. But, for long distances you will need the accuracy of the Great Circle calculations. For those of you who are interested, the Sailings are discussed at length in Bowditch. I would suggest that you take the Advanced Piloting course offered by the US Power Squadron if you want to know more about these methods of DR calculations. Several computer software programs also make these types of DR calculations for you as part of their log-keeping options and for serious navigators they are well worth considering.
