Ugly Paint Touch Up
I just finished painting the interior walls of my house. I needed 7 GAL, so I bought 1 5GAL and 2 1GAL buckets of flat wall paint of the same custom color on the same day from a reputable, national paint store. It was all mixed at the same time, but in 3 separate buckets.
Now I need to touch up a few spots in each room. When I use the paint from the last 1GAL bucket, it is a slightly different color than the rest of the wall, which was painted from the 5GAL bucket. To make the spot go away, I have to re-paint the whole wall.
Why is this happening? What can I do to prevent it in the future?

Bob, believe it or not, touch up is a very complex thing and not as easy as one would think. Ben Moore has white papers on touch up. There are so many variables that can affect touching up, color, paint type, applicator type, length of time, coverage and sealing of the previous coat being touched up, lighting, to temperature. If a wall is painted under certain environmental conditions and touched up under another the likelihood that it will match is slim. I tell guys who work with me, and my customers, there is no such thing as touch up, it's a misnomer, get it out your head. I say that because a lot of painters have a "we'll just touch it up" attitude. Some paints are better than others for touching, but none will be perfect. At the very least you have to give the touch up the same amount of time to dry as the wall you are touching up, as color development is a function of drying/curing time and that could be quite some time. I see you're doing a flip and have a lot of construction going on. When I encounter those situations, I try hard as I can to postpone final coats until practically all possibility of incidental wall damage is eliminated, for the very reason we're discussing. All that said, there are times when I have to touch up and hope it flies, and then there are times when a full wall recoat is required. Use the same applicator, the same source material, try to feather the material out and hope for the best.
Not totally uncommon, but I might ask who was the reputable store?
Most pros know to intermix, or "box" all paints of one color so all material is exactly the same.
Get an empty 5 and pour one to another until all are intermixed. For this exact reason.
I have found that most of the time buying all material at once from a single store the match is pretty good. Sometimes they don't get shaken enough and some tints get trapped in the lid. Even with a single gallon it is good to stir on site.
get a empty 5 gal bucket pour half of paint from 5 gal to other ,then take one gal and put it in one five the other in other five mix .now you have 2 buckets with 3 1/2 gal ,pour one bucket in to other back and forth. what im saying is mix all paint together :whistling2: its possibly their is a slight color difference ,but how are you touching up? .their is a skill to do good touch ups ,first thin your paint with water .straight paint will lay up on wall and you will see another layer of paint .also use a like texture if it a place where you rolled use a roller ,mini rollers work good for this ,brush use a brush. depending on surface and lighting if you look for it you will always see a touch up
Hey CMHbob<
Talk to twenty painters and you'll get twenty different answers. Everything jsheridan says I agree with, however every manufacturer responds a little differently with different line of products . I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for saying this, however touch-up problems are the main reason I refuse to use Benjamin Moore paint. Even Sherwin Williams has many wall flats that won't touch up but others do just fine. As for the difference in colors from one can to another is a human problem. All you can do is get made and tell the store they screwed up. I have ordered four gallons all marked the same, but when I opened them one is pure white. The clerk put the label on all the cans but didn't add the tints in one gallon. This has happened more then once. Frustrating when you have employees waiting while you go back to the store to get the problem fixed. You can't avoid the human factor.
Good one Joe, can I use that one?
The world would be a great place if other humans didn't occupy it:thumbsup:
Feel free to quote me anytime:thumbsup:. Actually, the saying is better when the word people is used in place of humans:yes:.
On topic, I was at BM's tech library and this came up in another unrelated search. I'm pretty certain there is other documentation there as well for those so interested to search.

After doing a lot of reading tonight, I really didn't find any reference to commercial patterns that people may have started with and then modified to make the clothing items on Zam's suit. In particular, the pants, top and vest come to mind.
I did read that back on the original fabric run you all were paying someone's seamstress to draft patterns for you. Is a general pattern still available from this seamstress? Or ZamIAm, do you know what patterns she may have started with to aid in drafting her own? I'm OK with adding in and moving around seams. I just need a good shape to start with as a pattern block. I've found a pattern for Women's riding Breeches I'm considering.
Also These:
STRETCH OF OUR NEOPRENE: What kind of stretch does the neoprene have? Not much? Does it end up being a slight 4 way stretch?
THICKNESS OF NEOPRENE: I'd like to know what the original thickness of the neoprene was before the lycra and nylon were laminated to it.
NEOPRENE FOR MOCK UPS: Because I only have on chance to get this right, I think I'd like to do a mock-up in neoprene if I can afford it. Hence, the above questions on thickness.

FLORENCE---Linda D. Becote, associate professor and technical services librarian in the James A. Rogers Library at Francis Marion University, has been appointed by the president upon the nomination of the library faculty to the Betty Jean Windham Greer Chair in Library Science.
Becote has been with FMU since 1978, serving first as a staff member and then as a member of the faculty. She is now head of technical services where she and her staff are responsible for the acquisition of new books and electronic resources as well as cataloging the library's collection.
"It is a great honor and privilege to be the first to hold the Greer Chair in Library Science," said Becote. "I would like to sincerely thank my colleagues for recommending this appointment."
Grady Greer of Florence established the Betty Jean Windham Greer Chair in Library Science this month, in honor of his wife.
Endowed for $100,000, the purpose of the chair is to honor current or future members of the faculty of the James A. Rogers Library for academic excellence, integrity and professionalism in their field. The awarding of the chair may also be used as a recruiting incentive for new members of the library faculty.
A native of Pamplico, Becote earned a bachelor's degree in business education at South Carolina State College in 1977 and a master's degree in library and information science from the University of South Carolina.
"We are pleased that the Greers have established this endowed faculty chair that will honor Linda's leadership and generous mentoring of colleagues," said Paul Dove, dean of Roger's Library.
Becote served on several library committees at FMU. She is also the president of the FMU African-American Faculty and Staff Coalition, where she has served as vice-president and in various other capacities. Becote has been an adviser for freshmen seminar at FMU as well.
In her community, she has worked with parent-teacher organizations at Hannah-Pamplico Elementary and Middle School. She is also a very active member of her church, Mill Branch A.M.E. Becote is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
Becote's professional affiliations include the South Carolina Library Association and the American Library Association.

Citation: Korenkov, V., King, B., Hirschi, K., Wagner, G.J. 2009. Root-selective expression of "AtCAX4" and "AtCAX2" results in reduced lamina cadmium in field-grown "Nicotiana tabacum L". Plant Biotechnology Journal. 7(3):219-226. Interpretive Summary: Using the non-edible portions of plants as a means of removing metals from the soil is termed phytoremediation. In this work, we have engineered plants to remove the toxic metal cadmium from soils and trap the metal in portions of the plants that are non-edible. The modified plants contain increased amounts of a transporter that can store toxic metals in compartments within the plant cell. In field trials, these modified plants can remove the toxic metals from the soil while the edible portions of the plants show no increased levels of the toxic metal. These field trails strongly suggest this approach can be used to remove toxic metals from soils and keep the toxic metals out of the food supply.
Technical Abstract: To assess the impact of enhanced root vacuole cadmium (Cd) sequestration on leaf Cd accumulation under a low Cd dose, as generally occurs in agriculture, leaf Cd accumulation was examined in field-grown tobacco plants expressing genes encoding the high-capacity-Cd, tonoplast-localized, divalent cation/H antiporters AtCAX4 and AtCAX2 (AtCAX, "Arabidopsis" cation exchanger). It has been shown previously that root tonoplast vesicles isolated from plants expressing these genes, directed by root-selective promoters, show enhanced Cd transport activity, and young plants show enhanced root Cd accumulation when grown in solution culture containing 0.02 micro m Cd, a moderate Cd dose. In this article, we present results that show that the lower leaves of mature plants expressing "AtCAX2" or "AtCAX4", under the control of two different root-selective promoters, accumulate 15–25% less lamina Cd than control plants when grown in the field (3 years, three different collection methods). Reciprocal grafting experiments of AtCAX2 shoots onto control roots (and vice versa), grown in solution culture with 0.005 micro m Cd, indicated that the root controls Cd translocation and accumulation in the shoot in control and AtCAX2 and AtCAX4 tobacco plants exposed to low Cd concentration. The results are consistent with a model in which supplementation of Cd/H antiporter activity in root cell tonoplasts enhances root Cd sequestration, resulting in decreased translocation of Cd to the shoot of field-grown plants. These results suggest that human Cd intake from food and tobacco use could be reduced via the enhancement of root vacuolar sequestration of this pollutant.

Anyone get the Perelli snows yet ? Anyone plan to? As they are not run-flat I am curious if they give a smoother ride. I suspect they will.

The official national Thailand lottery is run by the GLO, or Government Lottery office and is a state run lottery with draws that take place twice a month. The draw dates are the 1st and 16th of each month. If you enjoy gambling and want to keep it legal then the Thai lottery and betting on horse racing are your only officially sanctioned options.

How much does a Thai lottery ticket cost?
Officially a Thai lottery ticket costs 40 Baht but as the tickets are sold in pairs you would be paying 80 Baht for two tickets. This is the official price though and because the tickets are sold by vendors who want to make a higher profit the price you would pay when buying a Thai lottery ticket will almost always be higher than this. Expect to pay between 100 and 130 Baht per ticket depending on where you buy it.
Where to buy Thai lottery tickets
Tickets for the Thailand lottery are bought by wholesalers who in turn sell them onto retailers. These retailers can be found throughout Thailand from dusty roads in rural areas to markets and busy streets of large cities like Bangkok. They are easily recognisable by the thin wooden briefcases that they carry their stock of lottery tickets in. They will set their tables up almost anywhere to sell their tickets. Thai lottery tickets can also be bought at stands that are set up outside convenience stores like Big C and Tesco.
Types of Thailand Lottery tickets
Thai lottery tickets come in two variations. These are the Thai Government Lottery and the Thai Charity Lottery. The tickets cost the same but have different payouts. The Thai Charity Lottery has the higher prize money with a first prize of 3 million Baht. The Thai Government Lottery has a first prize of 2 million Baht. Because the tickets are sold in pairs, both with the same number printed on the tickets, the person holding the winning tickets receives the above mentioned prize money per ticket. That means that the prize money is in fact doubled because the winner effectively holds two winning tickets. You can tell the two tickets apart by looking at the title on the upper left corner of the ticket but you'll have to be able to read Thai.
Thai Lottery 123
Obviously, as with any lottery, there are a lot of checks and balances to ensure fairness and to maintain the confidence of the public who participate in these lotteries. At each draw ten people who are not connected in any way to the lottery are invited to attend the draw to act as witnesses. As mentioned earlier, these draws take place on the 1st and 16th of each month and are postponed to the following day should these dates happen to coincide with a holiday. The people who attend the draw as witnesses inspect the equipment and balls used for the draw to satisfy themselves that everything is on the level. One of the guests is chosen as a Draw Chairman and they select the set of balls that will be used for the draw.
There is one First prize (2 million or 3 million Baht depending on lottery), 5 Second prizes (100,000 Baht) and 10 Third prizes (40,000 Baht). There are 50 Fourth prizes (20,000 Baht) and 100 Fifth prizes 10,000 Baht. There are also 4,000 draws for tickets that match 3 digits (2,000 Baht) and 10,000 draws for tickets matching 2 digits (1,000 Baht). Bear in mind that because of the strange policy of selling tickets in pairs these winnings are in effect all doubled.
If you hold a ticket with the winning numbers you have two years to claim your prize. If you've won less than 20,000 Baht you can collect your winnings from one of the lottery ticket vendors. The vendor will normally take between 1% and 2% of the winnings as a commission for cashing the ticket. If you've won more than 20,000 Baht then you will have to go in person to the Government Lottery Office ,which is in Nonthaburi, to collect your winnings.
Thailand Lottery Result
If you want to watch the draws live they are broadcast on National Broadcasting Services of Thailand as well as Spring News. If you don't have access to television you could also listen in on the radio on Radio Thailand. The winning numbers are displayed on the screen at the end of the coverage and are also shown on the website of the Government Lottery Office.
Thai Lottery Sure Number
In every game of chance people will always look for an edge and the Thai lotto is no exception. Thai people are generally fairly superstitious and look for inspiration for winning lotto numbers or a "Sure Number" from all sorts of sources. Often Thai people pay attention to the details of calamities such as car accidents and then use the numbers from the license plates of the cars involved or the highway numbers as inspiration for what they feel are lucky numbers. Other perceived sources of a sure number are dreams or what they feel may look like a number in the bark of a tree or a report of an animal born with an extra limb. There are even magazines available in Thailand that focus on numerology and advice on winning Thai lottery numbers.
There are a number of websites that claim to offer Thai lottery tips and sure number advice. Some even charge a subscription fee to get Thailand lottery VIP tips. These websites also add a disclaimer saying that they only offer clues or advice and they may be right or they may be wrong. If they manage to predict something close to the winning numbers then they claim that they have special insight. If they get it wrong it's a matter of "better luck next time".
If there was a sure way to know in advance what the winning lottery numbers were then the Thai lottery would have gone out of business a long time ago. Also, you should be sceptical of anyone who says that they have information that you could use to win the Thai lottery. If they have special information about a sure number then why don't they just use that info themselves to win the lottery? While many will continue to look for signs in bizarre places the only real tip that will up your chances of winning the Thai lottery is to buy more tickets.
Underground Thai Lottery
While the 2 official Thai Lotto games are very popular they are outdone by the illegal, but tolerated, underground lottery. The underground Thai lottery is extremely popular. One of the reasons for this is that the odds of winning a prize (1 in 100) are considerably higher in the underground lottery than in the official Thailand Lottery. Of course the funds raised by these lotteries don't go into state coffers or onto charitable causes.
While most of the Thai are superstitious and looking for a sure number there are many others who are more pragmatic and realize the odds of winning big but want to play anyway. The popularity and hype seems to be on the increase for the Thailand Lottery.

From the horse to the skidder, the skidder to the Full Tree team, to the advent of Cut to Length – logging equipment has come a long way. For John Deere, the tradition of logging equipment has been a constant mandate of improving productivity and uptime while keeping operating costs low.
Before mechanization in the forest, loggers used sharp axes and brute strength to fell trees, and loaded them on horse-drawn sleds to be hauled to the river. Skilled river drivers maneuvered the logs downstream at great risks to their limbs and lives.
Steam was the first form of mechanization to modernize the forests of North America. It came in the form of a small steam donkey. The donkey would consist of a steam boiler and a steam engine connected by a winch all mounted on a sled, called a donkey sled. The donkeys were moved by simply dragging themselves with the winch line. The process evolved rapidly, and the donkeys were used for both yarding and skidding.
Forest professionals were trying to find ways to mechanize logging already a decade ago, but the actual development of forest machines started only in the middle of the 1900s. More mechanized forest technologies were being developed in Europe – particularly Finland, where forestry remains a mainstay of the country to this day.
John Deere has been developing and producing forest machines from the start. The company's roots are in the 19th century and the production of forest machines was started before 1950.
Technology including advanced harvesting systems are getting more and more efficient, which not only means cost savings for the logger, but also better stewardship of the natural forest environment. John Deere is doing their part to help expand the future for loggers, and to keep productivity, uptime, and low daily operating costs a priority.

The new guidelines, which will be effective this summer, have a couple of different components that are intended to make it easier for consumers to protect against sun damage. The FDA states that products cannot be marketed as "waterproof"—there is no such thing, they all wash off. "Waterproof" indicates that it won't ever wash off, and that's not true. Products now have to indicate that they are "water-resistant," and whether for 40 minutes or 80 minutes. Every product should be reapplied at least every two hours regardless.
Also, the FDA will require sunscreen bottles to state if it's a broad-spectrum product, meaning it protects against UVA and UVB rays. If a product does not state that it is broad spectrum, then it does not protect against UVA rays. SPF only refers to protection against UVB rays. SPF measures how long it takes for UVB rays to penetrate the skin with the sunscreen applied versus without. For example, SPF 15 means you can stay in the sun 15 times longer than without the sunscreen before the UVB rays begin to penetrate your skin.
UVB rays and UVA rays are both radiation from the sun. While UVB rays are primarily responsible for sunburn, UVA rays actually penetrate deeper into the skin. Both contribute to skin cancer, premature skin aging, and eye damage. UVA rays have shown to contribute to skin cancer and to also cause eye damage.
Sunscreen is not recommended for babies less than 6 months old. Sunscreen that is marketed for children are gentler, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and they may have different active ingredients. Some kid sunscreens contain zinc oxide instead of oxybenzone as the active ingredient. Adults can use the sunscreen marketed for children, and it'll be just as effective.
There have been some concerns raised about the systematic absorption of oxybenzone through the skin, but there has not been any toxicity reported and the FDA hasn't said don't use it. If the consumer is concerned, then he or she should just find a product that is oxybenzone-free. There are many products that contain zinc oxide, but not oxybenzone.
Some bottles print an expiration date while others do not. If there is no expiration date, then you should purchase a new bottle each year to be safe that the active ingredients, like zinc oxide, are actually working.
The product should be broad spectrum, have an SPF of at least 15 and be water-resistant. There are no reports that an SPF of more than 50 is more effective. You also should not underestimate the use of other measures. Kids should be encouraged to wear hats, sunglasses, cover-ups, and to stay in the shade from time to time.

Comprehensive Automation for Specialty Crops is a project focused on the needs of the specialty crops sector, with a focus on apples and nursery trees. The project's main thrusts are the integration of robotics technology and plant science; understanding and overcoming socio-economic barriers to technology adoption; and making the results available to growers and stakeholders through a nationwide outreach program. In this article, we present the results obtained and lessons learned in the first year of the project with a reconfigurable mobility infrastructure for autonomous farm driving. We then present sensor systems developed to enable three real-world agricultural applications—insect monitoring, crop load scouting, and caliper measurement—and discuss how they can be deployed autonomously to yield increased production efficiency and reduced labor costs.

Hey Ryan, did you climb it recently (this summer?)? If so, how was the snow in getting to the climb?

|I just talked over the phone with a local guide company as well as a forest service employee who works in the park. The guide told me that they have been taking people up to the Perch and Finger recently, both sources told me the river crossing was sketchy and to be extremely cautious when trying to cross. Still lots of snow up there and melting fast, not sure if snowshoes/crampons will be needed. Anyone else have some good approach beta?

Mike and Cron-
As of 2 weeks ago the approach was not an issue. We were on snow very little. The stream is easier to cross up higher when very close to the finger rather than trying to cross down lower by the lake. No crampons or axe necessary. Also, we parked at lower trailhead and walked in instead of driving the heinous 4WD road which I hear takes years off your vehicle. We were able to go light and do the route IAD sans camping gear.

|Climbed the Finger last Friday. Approach wasn't an issue at all. Snow is covering the first 20' feet of the climb so it's a bit of a head start. Sliding down the snowfield in the decent gully was fun!

I should add that the description above is pretty good. One thing to note is that the lengths of the last two pitches are much shorter than noted. We easily linked them with one 60m rope and had plenty of rope to spare. This made for a SUPER pitch that started with a splitter hand crack that still has me smiling the next day, then a "no pro" 5.5 slab with lots of exposure, the cool tunnel-through, and finally the exposed and scary "you better not fall here" summit block boulder problem that was both the technical and mental crux of the route. That said, I wouldn't recommend doing this as the rope drag on the final boulder problem was heinous. I ended up pulling up (with great effort) enough slack to climb the entire summit block before I started climbing, which added to the headiness of the finish.
Also, if you want to sign the register, bring a pen, paper, and a ziplock, as the pen was out of ink and all the paper was soaked.

Loved this route a real classic,
Highly reccommend taking a 4 and 5 camalot (new sizes),
and doubles in 1,2, and 3 camalots
P1= 170 feet
P2= 190 feet
P3 100 feet
P4 100 feet
P5 90-100 feet

|Spencer- I think your description of the last pitch is a little off. You didn't see the pin because you climbed the west side of the summit block.... the pin (and route) go up the east side. I assume this is why you didn't mention the "leap of faith" move after the summit block tunnel. Committing, but fun!

|The description is very good except for the last pitch. Do not climb the west face as described in the directions, it is more like a 5.10X. instead traverse to the south and there is a much easier way to the summit with a piton that you can use a protection.

The corner can be done in 2 pitches with a 70 m rope. 1st pitch ends at the small ledge just right of the roof. 2nd pitch goes all the way to the big ledge. If done this way, 2 #4 camalots can be useful if you want to sew up the 2 short, wider sections on P1.
Stellar climb.

Jesse and Ben, The 5.10x comment makes me feel better. I finished on the west side of the summit block and couldn't believe the route got a 5.8 rating, but figured it must have just seemed harder due to the exposure and massive rope drag from linking pitches 1 & 2.
For those that want to try the west side, it's more like 5.10R, not X, as the rope running through the tunnel would catch you as long as you clear the ledge when falling, but you would be taking a huge ride! Fortunately the bottom third is the hard part, and it eases as you go. The problem consists of laybacking up the arete and fighting a barn door over LOTS of exposure.

|Stellar route. Tape is nice for the abundant hand jams. I found a 4 friend (equivalent of old BD 3.5) and a new BD 4 to protect the wider sections very well. Also, retreat is possible from below the summit block (when your GF has a panic attack at the leap of faith and forces you to bail). Rap off the slung chockstone 15ft east of the leap of faith down into chimney. Then walk 25ft to the west to another slung block. Rap 25m down to large ledge and pull rope far to the east to keep from snagging in crack. Then scramble up the obvious chimney/gully to the west to gain the west ridge and the standard descent off 2 slung trees to the north.

|Beautiful route, with P4 definitely being one of the most fun alpine lines I've done! It's possible we went through the wrong tunnel, but there were some huge loose boulders that creaked every time we touched them. Encountered some rope drag issues on that last pitch, as well... I'm not sure that runners would have helped, I think it was just all of the turns that the route took, combined with some bad luck.

7/16/16 Lost Red BD X4 Pitch 3
My partner and I did the open book last weekend 7/16 and I got a cam stuck and left it for him to fidget with and get out. Due to a communication breakdown my partner climbed past the piece and left it without wiggling and attempting a removal.
If you come across the cam and manage to wiggle it out Im willing to offer up a finders fee!! Thanks all and happy hunting!

|This climb was a little sketchy for a couple first-time crack climbers (duh, I guess), and that no-pro section at the top was definitely scary in the snow squall that hit us in the top section (literally, almost got blown off coming off the finger crack). Ha! That said, super fun climb, and I'll definitely be back for Tiptoes.

Six Myths About the Wisconsin ElectionRamesh Ponnuru
June 12 (Bloomberg) -- Elections may not change everything, but they certainly can change the way partisans spin. We've all seen it: Before the vote, both sides agree on its crucial importance. Afterward, the losing side declares it's no big deal.
Last week, Scott Walker, the Republican governor of Wisconsin, beat back an attempt to remove him from office in the middle of his term. The political struggle since then has concerned the meaning of that vote -- and enveloped it in a series of myths.
Here are six of them:
1. Walker's union-busting had nothing to do with the state budget. To hear Walker's liberal critics tell it, the governor used the need to fix a budget hole as an excuse to go after public-sector unions. As Mother Jones magazine put it last year, "The unions are not to blame for the deficit, and stripping unionized workers of their collective bargaining rights won't in and of itself save any money." That's why, according to those critics, calling an election to remove Walker from office early was justified: He had simply acted to weaken his political opponents.
No doubt, Walker did seek to weaken his adversaries by removing what he considers unjustified privileges that state law used to give them. But his labor-law reforms were also part of a budget strategy: The state would give less money to local governments and in return give them more power in bargaining with the unions. Local governments that have been able to take advantage of the new law -- because contracts expired after its passage -- have been able to avoid sharp cutbacks in services.
2. Money is what saved Walker from the recall. Walker and his allies outspent his opponents by a large margin -- and that's the whole story of this race, says Glenn Thrush in Politico. Thrush didn't count union spending in the race, which was considerable. But even if he was right, his logic would be off. Assuming that the side that spent more money won because of it risks reversing cause and effect. If Democrats, particularly the national Democratic Party, had thought they could win the race, they would have spent more money. President Barack Obama and his allies vastly outspent Senator John McCain and the Republicans in 2008, but that's not why Obama won: He raised a lot more money than McCain because he was more popular, and was considered likely to win.
It's one thing to worry about campaign contributions because the contributors might buy undue influence with officials. It's less plausible to worry that voters are easily gulled by whichever side spends the most money -- especially in a race, like this one, where most voters held strong opinions about the issues for at least a year.
3. The Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United -- which affirmed the right of outside groups to spend unlimited amounts on political campaigns -- rescued Walker. Greg Sargent, a liberal blogger for the Washington Post, claims that Walker's victory "shows with crystal clarity that Republicans may very well be able to successfully use the new, post-Citizens United landscape to weaken the opposition in a structural way."
Actually, Walker could legally receive unlimited contributions -- including from out-of-state contributors, one of his critics' bugaboos -- before Citizens United. Before that decision, the Republican Governors Association would have had to run slightly different ads than they ran. But there's no reason to think the decision had a significant effect on the recall race, much less a decisive one.
4. Walker's win didn't mean the public favored his labor reforms. Katrina vanden Heuvel, the editor and publisher of the Nation, posted a message on Twitter on election night saying the "laser focus on collective bargaining" had been "muted." Other Walker critics have pointed to an Ohio referendum in which curbs on public-sector unions were defeated as evidence that an up-or-down vote on Walker's reforms in Wisconsin would have yielded a different outcome.
But the Wisconsin law exempted police and firefighters, and their inclusion in the Ohio law was one of its opponents' chief criticisms. Without that argument at hand, Wisconsin Democrats had trouble getting a majority of voters fired up about the reforms -- as Graeme Zielinski, a Democratic spokesman, admitted during the campaign. Exit polls found a small majority of voters approved of Walker's reforms.
5. The vote has no implications for November. The exit polls showed Obama winning the state 51 percent to 44 percent, and Wisconsin hasn't voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1984. Obama supporters have been dismissing the idea that the state might go red this fall. The exit polls had a Democratic skew, however, and Michael Barone calculates a much closer matchup once it's corrected. The state has clearly been tilting less to the Democrats over time. In this year's election the state senate is expected to flip back to the Republicans. In that case, Wisconsin will have a Republican governor, at least one Republican senator and two Republican legislative chambers. It would be crazy for Obama to take the state for granted, and last week's election ought to add to his worries.
6. Other Republican governors will follow Walker's lead. On one point, it's conservatives who may be deluding themselves. Many of them think that Walker's triumph will now lead other Republican governors to emulate him. They may be overestimating that breed's tolerance for criticism and controversy. A lot of Republican governors are going to look at Walker's experience over the last two years and be glad he survived, but not eager to get themselves compared to Hitler or go through a recall campaign.
It's still liberals who have most misinterpreted the recall campaign. Their last-ditch defense of public-sector-union privileges -- which President Franklin D. Roosevelt rejected as contrary to the public good -- couldn't win the day in a state with as progressive a history as Wisconsin.
Democrats are trying very hard to avoid the implications of that fact.

I agree with you that he has the best car for the past 3 years but so is Webber, then why is Webber no where? maybe because there are no equal treatment? that is a possibility but its also possible that Vettel is a much better driver than Webber. And yes he is in the right team at the right time, and so is Hamilton is 2008, its also true that if he is in a Ferrari or Mclaren he would not have won 3 titles, may 1 but not three. I still believe that Alonso is the currently, just by looking at last year with a verified bad car ( nobody can say otherwise ), he still managed to be 2nd, what if he is on a Redbull, that would be scary indeed. 20 agree 7 disagree

I smell some next door neighbors becoming involved in divorce proceedings, willing or not.
Staying neutral and minding my own business with non family has served me well so far in life.
Leaving a loaded accessible handgun around children is a big NO NO and I'm sure the judge and divorce lawyers would use that information. Being a potential safety issue to the children, I would feel bad if something did happen. That said, not being an immediate threat, I most likely would refer your neighbor to local law enforcement to safely clear and secure the weapon.
But... That's not going to look good in court when they're fighting for custody, etc.
You might be getting yourself into a catch 22 situation if you become involved? Good luck!

'Miss USA' Switched Networks, But Should It Be Retired Altogether?
NBC recently dropped the Miss USA Pageant, but the pageant quickly found a new home with cable network REELZ. However, it seems like this could have been a good time to stop televising the pageant altogether — and probably should have been.
Although the pageant often highlights the fact that it provides scholarships to its contestants and is thus an academic opportunity, this argument is undeniably incompatible with the contest's emphasis on beauty. If the pageant is truly a contest of academic achievement, appearance should not factor into whether or not participants receive a scholarship or have any chance to enter the so-called 'academic' competition in the first place. How does the way one's body looks in a bikini relate to their academic capability?
What's more, the …

Kiev, Ukraine • "I am dying," Olesya Zhukovska, a 21-year-old volunteer medic, wrote on Twitter, minutes after she got shot in the neck by a sniper's bullet as deadly clashes broke out in the center of the Ukrainian capital between protesters and police.
The tweet, accompanied by a photo of her clutching her bleeding neck and being led away under fire, went viral, as social media users around the world presumed she had died and shared their grief and anger.
But Zhukovska survived.
She has become a symbol of the three-month protest of President Viktor Yanukovych's government and a movement for closer ties with the West and human rights.

U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Hollidaysburg, was in town recently telling folks that he is working hard against Obamacare. No surprise. No plan. No clue. Both Rep. Shuster and Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., also voted against raising the debt ceiling, extending unemployment benefits and all bills related to moving our economy forward.
GOP House members have been united in obstruction of any effort to move our economy forward unless it involved a benefits cut for the middle class and a tax cut for the rich. They couldn't even agree to pay the debts they voted to incur.
The reason the House GOP is in lockstep on all issues is because the rich are watching them. Wealthy political donors anonymously put money into political action groups that "score" how representatives vote. This allows the rich to control our representatives by pouring money into candidates against them in primaries. We have our conservative Supreme Court to thank for turning this scourge loose on our democracy.
This "scoring" is not limited to federal representatives. MSNBC reports that these groups are going to prey on state representatives in 2014. Lord knows, our Republican governor and state representatives have done a less than stellar job for ordinary people — Jim Crow laws on voting, attacks on women, education cuts, creating more unemployment than employment, taxing the wrong gas ($3.75 for gasoline the ordinary Joe has to buy but no tax on Marcellus gas profits). Our state representatives have made it clear: They are controlled by the rich and they, in turn, govern for the rich.
Thinking people can defeat bad policy-makers in spite of the terrible practice of redistricting by politicians. We should also be concerned about possible "wacko birds" (a term used by Sen. John McCain to refer to the tea party) taking the place of the bad policy-makers we currently have. Middle-class voters have to avoid electing two types: those who make policy that only benefits the rich and extremists with a narrow social agenda.
The maxim is true: "All politics is local." We can't do anything about changing representatives in other districts or states, but we the people can "score" our representatives and senators and call them out on the excuses they make. The rich could not dominate if we had publicly financed campaigns to level the playing field for all candidates. It's a question of fairness and preserving democracy.

Contemporary American Photography In Germany; 7th International Photo Days In Mannheim/Ludwigshafen
Larry Fink's "Forbidden Pictures: A Political Tableau 2005" was one of the highlights at the biggest German photo exhibition "7th International Photo Days," which was located in the cities of Mannheim and Ludwigshafen.
The Larry Fink exhibition was a major part of a show entitled "Contemporary
American Photography." Around 100 American photographers took part in
this event, the biggest exhibition of contemporary American photography shown
in Europe in memory. The exhibition showed a broad range of styles, themes,
and concepts from the American photographic scene.
"Contemporary American Photography" was arranged by the Cologne gallery owner Tina Schellhorn, who not only wanted to show the visitors a photographic viewpoint but also let them see an interesting mixture of American lifestyles, one that often confirmed prejudices but also broke a few myths.
Schellhorn became acquainted with many of the photographers at photo exhibitions
in Portland and Houston. "The greatest thing for me was that many of the
American photographers came to our Photo Days on their own account and were
always willing to help with workshops and seminars. German photographers are
much more complicated," she said.
Among the shows within the show that met critical acclaim was that of Alejandro Tomás. His series, entitled "Los Ranchero Visitadores," documents a gathering of the rich and famous at a cowboy convention, a world that was quite new to the German audience. Similar work was shown by Dave Anderson, who took pictures in the rural city of Vidor, Texas, where he highlighted activities of the Ku Klux Klan.
Another side of American vision was Lili Almog's "Bed Sequence,"
a portrayal of women between 18 and 76 years old. Lauren Greenfield's
"Girl Culture" showed young girls under the influence of the media.
The themes of the festival ranged from current documentaries on problems like AIDS and environmental damage to essays on social development in the countryside and cities to political satire. Well-known photographers like Steve Hart, Alex Webb, Jeff Mermelstein, and Benedict J. Fernandez were also shown, as well as newcomers to Europe such as Dan Nelken and Maggie Taylor.
In addition to the exhibition of "Contemporary American Photography"
was a second major themed exhibition called "The Art of Being German."
This show was arranged by Hansjoachim Nierentz, the head curator and organizer
of the entire festival. It featured internationally recognized photographers
from Germany, including Bernd Arnold, Regina Schmeken, and Herlinde Koelbl,
famous for her critical images of German political and social life. Many new
young photographers also debuted their work, with many being vignettes of German
living rooms, kitchens, clubs, or public spaces, each of which showed a side
of Germans and Germany itself.

Nicole Scherzinger Pays a Visit to KISS FM in London
Posted Tuesday January 22, 2013 1:55 PM GMT
Making her media rounds, Nicole Scherzinger showed up at KISS FM studios in London, England earlier today (January 22).
The "Don't Cha" songstress smiled for the cameras from behind an oversized pair of black sunglasses as she stepped out of her chauffeured ride and headed inside.
However when she unbuttoned her stylish black and white houndstooth patterned winter coat, Nicole revealed a black top tucked into her black tights, considered by many to be a major fashion faux pas.
Nevertheless, Scherzinger still looked stunning as she continued promoting her brand new single "Boomerang" ahead of her new album's March street date.
Enjoy the pictures of Nicole Scherzinger at Kiss FM in London (January 22).

Modern Home with all the essentials for a family
We were very impressed with Glenachoor. Our family is large...7 of us, so we need space!! And we needed a place near Ballybunion. This home is ideally located and reasonable priced, plus it is newer and has all the needs of an American family!!
We will definitely stay here again when we return to Ireland, as we have grandparents living in Listowel.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I found the bed very hard and the TV in our room had little or no reception.
A great holiday home
We booked Glenachoor for 5 adults. Fabulous beaches only a couple of minutes away in either direction from the house. The house, facilities and view all exceeded expectations. The panoramic view from the lounge and the spaciousness of the house meant that the accommodation was perfect for all of us. Perfect base to explore the area but also to travel further afield, a trip worth doing is to travel via the Tarbert- Killimer ferry and on to Carrigaholt in Clare to go out on the dolphin trip . We loved our time there, hope to go back someday. The dogs loved the garden and the beaches nearby. Thank you to Padraig for the welcome received. Ella, Conor, Bridget, Ken, Jamie , Mikko and Jari — 11 Jul-2015.
We stayed at this beautiful home for 2 weeks. Normally you see pictures of properties and more often than not they don't live up to expectation. Not in this case however, and the photos, as good as they are, do not show just how fabulous this home is. Large, luxurious property, with great attention to detail to make it a really special place to stay. Large enclosed garden for the children to play in, and watching the sun set over the sea each evening was pretty special. Location wise it is perfect. Ballybunion is a sweet little town with a lovely beach and a park for the little ones, which our children took full advantage of. The area is beautiful and we did a few drives out to some stunning places, with scenery to take your breath away. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to all. Book it, you will not be disappointed. Thanks to Padraig for your helpfulness from start to finish.
Great place to relax
A really beautifully designed and furnished house, with fantastic space that allows you your own privacy whilst still having a great communal space for all to spend time together and relax. We were with a group of friends and our aim was to relax and catch up. For us this was the perfect house and place to do this.... Would really highly recommend whether you are a smaller or large group. Great walks nearby and gorgeous scenery.
Beautiful house in an amazing part of Eire
Simply a beautiful house to stay for your holiday. Spacious, 5 Star!! The views are breathtaking too! Location near to shops, bars and one of the best beaches you'll find. Definitely be booking this gorgeous holiday home this year.
A truly amazing experience!!!!
The photos on this site don't even start to pay justice to what a stunning property this is - It really is first class with amazing space and top quality furniture and fittings... incredibly comfortable. It is set in a very beautiful part of Kerry and was a great base for us whether we decided to stay local and wander along the spectacular Bromore cliffs... or of course from which to explore the beautiful Ring of Kerry.
We really cannot recommend enough and hope to be back again!!! Thanks to Padraig and all!!
Activity and Interests
Set back 750 metres from the cliff top at the mouth of Ireland's longest river, the Shannon and located between two of the county's finest beech's, Ballybunion beech and Beale Beech.

Bengals K Mike Nugent (calf) was downgraded to a missed practice on Thursday.
The Bengals expected their kicking decision to come down to a game-time call this week. It now looks like Josh Brown has the inside track to get the nod versus the Steelers.

Search and rescue crews pulled a stranded Davis County man off a mountain Saturday morning, just months after they rescued him from the same area.
The 52-year-old man began hiking the Great Western Trail above Fernwood Park, near Layton, about 5 p.m. Friday but never returned home, according to Davis County Deputy Jammie Embley.
Crews briefly conducted a search for him Friday night, but called it off after the man's family said he had food, water, and adequate clothing to last through the night.
The search resumed at first light Saturday morning, Embley said. By about 9 a.m., an AirMed helicopter was deployed and crews located the man about 10:30 a.m. Embley said the man was checked out by medical teams and released at the scene.

Julian Davies, Professor emeritus at the University of British Columbia and a Fellow of the Royal Society, has authored a humorous post on the Small Things Considered blog on the various methods an attendee of a scientific meeting can employ to enhance "maximum satisfaction and poise" one gets out of such gatherings.
"It is also essential that you pin your name tag in a place where your full name is not readily visible—partly behind your lapel, for example. When you arrive at the reception, circle the outside of the room and pick out a few people that you do recognize and whose name you can recall. Stride boldly up and greet each of them in turn using their name. If you are of the same approaching-senior age group, there is a 50% chance that they will recognize you but not remember your name. Since they cannot see your whole name card, you will likely witness their desperate efforts to decipher your name. You will then begin to feel good!"

When it is time to winterize your boat for the season or you are planning to ship your boat to a new location, you may want to consider using marine shrink wrap to keep the boat in top condition until it is ready to use on the water again. We initially measure the area to be wrapped.
We shrink wrap your boat in a well ventilated area because of the chemicals that will be released during the shrink wrapping process. We then apply the shrink wrap film to the boat, starting from the top and working your way down to the hull, first on one side and then on the other.
We take optimum measures to assist customers in realizing the top deals without decreasing in quality. Our translucent approach helps our customers who would like to buy boat shrink wrappers in our company.
As your discretion is extremely important to us, we focus upon it in an exclusive manner offering you with the best results whenever you expect. Then we apply belly bands which are straps that wrap around the boat, keeping the shrink wrap film tight. This allows for a tighter seal when the shrink wrap process is complete.
We heat the wrap on the top of the boat. We are very careful while shrink wrapping around corners and on any objects that protrude because of a higher risk of tearing in these areas. We check for holes, if present, we repair holes with shrink wrap tape.
We provide the highly efficient and advanced boat shrink wrap recycling program. We offer effective precautions for maintaining the boat shrink wrap so that wrapping will be protected. Checking out several features on an additional basis will ensure that we take all the secure measures without resulting in any major questions. Any information collected will be in the best interests of your confidentiality so that you never feel insecure about loss of data. If you have any doubts about boat shrink wrapper you can directly consult our company. We are willing to help you. The shrink wrap will need to cover the entire top of the boat, including extra height for windshields and other protrusions down to an area on the hull below the rub rail.
Our shrink wrap manufacturer purchase the amount of wrap you need and a heat gun if necessary. Due to ordinary cycle of a hot day and cooling night's moisture content may enter into boat. The boat owner has to concentrate much on boat and he makes sure that the boat is overall dry up to 100%. Any moisture content or humidity in the boat will just turn into its own weather system under the wrap for the entire winter. Water or moisture content in that boat will cause problems to your boat. The best boat shrink wraps are dried in medium sunlight for an entire day, so the moisture content present in the boat will be evaporated. Mostly some moisture content will be formed automatically when you covered the boat with shrink wrap for 1 day.
"Shrink wrapping works great for storage of our boats. We use a UV stable plastic so the plastic with stands the harmful UV rays. "
James Deo D.
"The boat shrink wrapper from your company is so long and it covers almost all the portions of my boat. "
Jassica Patricia C.
"It was a great experience to get your shrink wrapping service for our boats and it was efficiently protected. "
Patric Xavier E.
"We experienced an affordable service. The boat ran great all year without any disparities."

Follow Up: Lessons from Illegal Music Downloads
To curb illegal music downloads, The Economist argues that it is more effective to offer alternative ways of distributing music rather than focusing on litigation and suing users.
After our post last week about the effects of illegal downloading on recorded music and live shows, we noticed the Economist had an article on the lessons we can learn from music piracy.
To curb illegal music downloads, the Economist argues that it is more effective to offer alternative ways of distributing music rather than focusing on litigation and suing users. The rise of alternatives that range from safe and affordable downloads like the iTunes store, to subscription based music streaming services like Spotify, have deterred illegal downloads.
The Economist reports:
All of these different, legal music services offer the celestial jukeboxwhatever you want, right away, from the internetthat made Napster so compelling when it appeared on the scene. True, revenue from these services will be less than from CD sales, but it is much better than nothing. The recorded-music industry will get smallerbut it will not disappear.
That is because there is growing evidence that this plethora of new services adds up to an attractive alternative to piracy for many (see article). In June a poll of Swedish users of file-sharing software found that 60% had cut back or stopped using it; of those, half had switched to advertising-supported streaming services like Spotify. In Denmark, over 40% of subscribers to TDCs broadband-plus-music package also said they were making fewer illegal downloads as a result. In a British poll published in July, 17% of consumers said they used file-sharing services, down from 22% in December 2007. Music executives reckon people are moving from file-sharing networks to Spotify, though they may continue to download some music illegally.
PSFK has previously written about access to music becoming more important than ownership.
Are these ideas and lessons that the movie and video game industries can learn from? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

OTI sniper popping rod

Very nice rod and the two pieces fit together like they should be one. will be used with the Shimano SRG8000SW for YFts
By DAVID
casts far
April 22, 2016
I have used it for casting Halco Max 130 lures. Used for overnight tuna trips out of Galveston, TX. These lures may be a little light for this rod, but I am still able to cast them pretty far even underhanded
Prosable to make long casts because of the length of the rod: 8' very sturdy rod;
Consi feel this rod is a bit too heavy. casting all night took a toll on my shoulders. After my first fishing trip I compared it to other tuna popping rods in it's class and this one seemed to be the heavier than most. For this reason I am only give it 4 stars.

What a rod!
July 28, 2015
I needed a rod to fish for tuna, marlin, amberjack, snapper, etc... in the Gulf off the Midnight Lump and near the offshore rigs. I looked at a lot of rods in this class from every brand listed on TD. This really fit the bill and it doesn't disappoint. Extremely well made and looks great. 8' length was perfect for me - enough to cast popping plugs using heavy duty spin gear 80-100 yards from the boat, but still enough backbone to get the job done. This particular model is slightly more versatile and sensitive than the heavy weight version from OTI in my opinion. But this is a big benefit for anyone who wants versatility and practicality in a rod... I also fish stripers back east, and this rod would easily serve for that species from both boat and jetty inlet. So great value. Its not just a specialty rod, but if tuna is what you are after...it is the goto choice.
ProsVersatile, well built, excellent action for a rod with solid backbone.

sure is better than terez

I practice with poppers and several of my rods this one cast30 to 40 percent farther also lure has better action.

this rod does what it says it will do
November 23, 2014
i test casted this against my other rods it cast futher out , the real differance was how much better the popper worked in the water.after this test i bought another.
Prosthe balance and feel is great

A severe stick for my sever Stella SW20000PG. So you want a spinning outfit...Bad ass....
ProsBeautifully executed. A two piece rod that does not seem like a two piece rod. You could bring anything to the boat with this rod.........
ConsExspensive, The rod butt hypalon is not as beefy as a convention reel stick. No hook saver. Due to the length of this rod, if you hook something large be prepared for a work out.

wow powerful

Tuna Popping Rod
September 3, 2012
Exceptional reputation and quality is validated. It is a bit stiff to throw 70-90g. stick baits as it does not load up while casting, in my opinion. I have not hooked up with it yet but am buying a lighter line-weight rod that will give me more distance with the weights referenced. I target Gulf of Mexico tuna, cobia, dolphin and wahoo and this rod is more than ample to handle the typical fish found offshore.
ProsNice components, nice fabric rod case, two piece for traveling.
Consa bit stiff for throwing average weight poppers and stick baits.

Farther downriver we find Pete Ponds fishing what Garlock says is the most famous smallmouth point on the river.
Pond's' white baitcasting rod is snapping the fire out of a jerkbait. It's nice to see someone fishing something other than a drop shot.
He tells us he has a limit that includes two bass that weigh over 4 pounds each. However, he also has two small bass that he needs to cull badly. After a few more casts, he cranks up and heads for new water.

In the course of writing about different tools, I often make a point of asking about them on various social networking sites. After all, in reviewing a product I'm probably not going to have the same experiences with a tool as someone working day-in and day-out with it.
In some cases, the responses I get include comments about how much users absolutely loathe particular tools, but they are forced to work with them due to their employers' choices.
Have You Talked to Your Team?
There are plenty of teams that are happy with their tools. But it seems there are also many people who feel like they work in spite of their tools, rather than with them. You don't want your team to fall into that second group, so how can you ensure that your team is happy withe the tools you select?
You'll need to get feedback from employees at all levels of organizations.. It's probably impossible to please everyone, but it's a bad sign if your team members are willing to go on Twitter and explain every last detail of what they don't like about the tools that they have to use.
Don't frame this conversation by asking your team what they're not happy about — find out how they think things could be improved. A fair number of the complaints I hear are, at the most basic level, about how things could be made better. This can be an opportunity: Your team sees a problem, but has also identified a solution that you can take advantage of.
A Conversation That Needs to Be Had
You probably already know if your team isn't particularly excited about a particular tool. But it's worth sitting down and actually having the conversation and asking a few simple questions: What could be improved? Are there any simple fixes? Are there any big fixes? Sometimes it's not the case that a tool needs to be completely replaced; it could be a problem with a particular feature, or how the tool integrates with another product or a particular workflow.
You may not be able to act on the information you receive right away. The negative comments I routinely get about certain tools often come out of giant organizations— not exactly companies known for being able to turn on a dime. But knowing that a plan for better tools is in place will improve matters, and even just being heard can help make a less-than-ideal situation more palatable.

Fayette County Is Going To Be Highlighted On National TV
Fayette County is making it on national TV
Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot" show came to Uniontown last week and had more than 220 people from all over turn out for the "town hall" meeting to tell stories about their encounters with Bigfoot.
The show's producers Sean Mantooth told the Herald Standard:
"This is the best town hall meeting we've ever had the sheer amount of stories we had we literally did not have enough time before we had to start wrapping things up, We've gotten a lot of support from the local community. They've been very welcoming to the cast and crew and made it a really good episode for us.
The episode filmed in Uniontown and surrounding areas will air sometime next year as part of the sixth season

Calderon will appear with Obama in advance of the dinner Wednesday and then address a joint session of Congress on Thursday.
This is not to deny that pressure will be mounting as Obama prepares to address a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night.
The last time a president addressed a joint session of Congress on health care, the teleprompter broke.
The president speaks about the American Jobs Act, one day after introducing it to a joint session of Congress.
A joint session of Congress is his best format, and his speech will surely be well delivered.
This assembly of people and Church in joint session assented, and the desires of the people became Acts of Tynwald.
Peleas, the leader of the government, consented to the joint session, but asked that the matter be referred to a committee.
Mrs. Stanton delivered this address before a joint session of the New York legislature in March 1860.

text: I Built it Myself "I Built It Myself" is proudly sponsored by Interlux Yacht Finishes The 26th Annual WoodenBoat Show will once again showcase a crowd favorite: "I Built It Myself". If you've built a trailerable wooden boat that you'd like to show, we would love to hear from you! This land-based display of home-built boats will be located on and surrounding the Village Green at Mystic Seaport, June 30–July 2, 2017. There is no entry fee for the I Built It Myself exhibit, but you must be willing to discuss your wooden boat project with attendees. In the past we've had up to 50 beautifully crafted boats and proud owners/builders. The collection has included kayaks, skiffs, daysailers, canoes, and much more by a variety of designers such as Iain Oughtred, Joel White, Chesapeake Light Craft, Arch Davis, and William & John Atkin. This exhibit always offers plenty of inspiration! Entry Rules: All boats must have a wooden hull. Boat must NOT be for sale. Boat and builder must attend all three days of the show. The I Built It Myself is a land exhibit only. If you would like to put your boat in the water, please contact us for dock exhibit rates. Register for the 2017 "I Built It Myself" Interlux and The WoodenBoat Show would like to congratulate Peter Hrabchak of Dexter, NY whose shellback dinghy RAVEN won the 2016 "I Built it Myself" Award presented by Interlux.
