Grand Banks board will remain after shareholders reject proposalPosted on
The Grand Banks Yachts board of directors beat back a challenge by dissident shareholders to replace all four incumbent directors in a so-called "extraordinary general meeting" Oct. 10 under the rules of the Singapore Stock Exchange, where the boatbuilder is listed.
An average 68 percent of voting shareholders cast ballots to retain the current board, which consists of chairman and independent director Heine Askaer-Jensen, independent directors Basil Chan and Jeffrey Stewart Bland, and chief financial officer and executive director Peter Kevin Poli.
An average 32 percent of those voting supported replacing that board with nominees offered by shareholders Peter Cheng Lim Kong and Kwah Yeow Khong. Cheng Lim Kong recently purchased 10 percent of Grand Banks stock. Under the exchanges rules that entitled him to call the meeting and propose the changes. He offered himself as the nominee for new executive director.
This was a solid vote of confidence in the current leadership, said David Hensel, Grand Banks director of brand and marketing, who spoke with Soundings Trade Only from the companys Seattle office.
Hensel said 80 million out of a total 125 million Grand Banks shares were voted.
It was never clear exactly what the dissident shareholders wanted other than to run the company in a better, more profitable way and to cut costs, Hensel said.
Constituted in November 2011, the incumbent board has been drawing up a road map to guide the company during the next three to four years in developing new models, new marketing and sales programs, closer customer relations and financial strategies, Hensel said.
We feel we have a strong team in place and a very strong plan in place, he said. We encouraged our shareholders to vote down the [dissidents] resolutions and give the board the opportunity to move forward.
Hensel said new models a 43 Heritage EU, 54 Heritage EU, 55 Eastbay Flybridge and 50 Eastbay with new styling and Volvo Penta pod drives have been well received even before reaching the market, with preproduction orders. We feel like were on a good track with our new-model development, he said.
The company also is partnering with Ocean Alexander to sell Grand Banks boats through Ocean Alexander dealerships in Shanghai and Sanya (Hainan province) in China. Grand Banks represents Ocean Alexander at its Gold Coast Australia dealership.
Grand Banks also has opened a dealership in Malaysia, Hensel said.
Grand Banks also made a placement of 19.2 million shares of stock Sept. 17, which were bought by two investors Exa Limited and Koh Cheng Keong to raise money to contribute to the growth and expansion of the company, according to Grand Banks.

Shared neutral on more than one circuit
In my shop I will be putting in a 20 amp duplex receptacle where the 2 outlets are on separate 20 amp circuits. Can I share the neutral wire between these 2 circuits? The 12 gauge hot wire is rated for 20 amps but when you share the neutral for circuits totaling 40 amps, is a single 12 gauge wire OK?
One the same note, if I am wiring a 240V receptacle downstream of a 120V receptacle, can I just use the same neutral/ground or do I need to home run a separate one to the panel?
Thanks for your help :)
I have to agree with nap here. At least I must ask how you plan on "wiring a 240V receptacle downstream of a 120V receptacle".
Nap, I appreciate your concern but please don't insult my intelligence. I have been doing my own electrical wiring for over 10 years. The obvious answer is when in doubt, use a separate neutral wire for each circuit which is what I've always done in the past.
I got my answer.
Now that you cleared up some questions, yes you can share one neutral between two hots as longs at the hots are on two different phases in the panel. Contrary to what most people think when hooked up to two different phases the neutral canels each other out, so if you have 18 on one hot and 15 on the other you will only have 3A on the neutral. If you hook the two hots up to the same phase you would have 33A on the neutral.
You can share the EMT with both plugs. Your 240V plug does not need a neutral and your emt can be used for your bond. So in your pipe you would have 3 hots(2 for the 240V, 1 for the 120V) and you will also have a neutral. This would give you 4 current carrying conductors and depending on where you are you may to have to derate your wires.
You should not be using 2 120 volt circuits to build a 240 volt circuit "down stream". Run separate conductors from a dedicated 2 pole breaker. And I agree with the others, if you would even consider doing when you planned, you need professional help.
Also, a 240v circuit does not have/need/use a neutral. Are you talking about a 120/240v circuit?
A shared neutral (multi-wire branch circuit) circuit is a perfectly safe, common and efficient way of wiring.
The neutral of a properly installed MWBC carries only the current imbalance, NOT the combined current.
I have not insulted your intelligence as much as you have done that to me. I do this for a living and I know what is correct and what isn't here. Especially since you claim to have been doing this for over 10 years, you show an extreme lack of knowledge concerning the question at hand. I knew more than that as a 1st year apprentice.
The statement "I have been doing my own electrical wiring for over 10 years" is pretty damn scary considering the obvious lack of knowledge and expertise that exists.
You can share a neutral between two 120V circuits as multiwire branch circuit (MWBC), with some caveats:
Both of these requirements must be met! Make sure your neutral connections are securely pigtailed at every junction and that your breaker is a either a double-pole or paired single poles with a common trip handle.
I would run a separate circuit for the 240V receptacle. This would allow you to use whatever size breaker (with appropriate wiring) necessary for your 240V application, since the MWBC will be limited to 20A.
I do have a couple of concerns about your proposed set up, though:
You mentioned that you were splitting a receptacle between two circuits. If you are using 20A breakers, you MUST use a 20A receptacle, not a 15A. You cannot place a single 15A receptacle on a 20A circuit (if it is a duplex receptacle, that counts as two receptacles on a single circuit and a 15A duplex receptacle is permitted on a 20A circuit).
The other question is how are you providing GFCI protection to this circuit? You will not be able to split a GFCI duplex receptacle into two circuits, although you could easily gang two GFCI receptacles into a single box and put them on separate legs of a MWBC with a shared, pigtailed neutral.
Please disregard the word "downstream" as I didn't realize it had a special meaning with wiring, and all I meant by that was further down the conduit, but on its own breaker.
Thanks for the info.
Nitpicking. You can use 15 amp receptacles including singles on a 20 amp circuit so long as there are at least two receptacles altogether.
For multiple circuits in a conduit, run one ground wire sized for the largest amperage circuit present. For example for one 30 amp circuit and two 20 amp circuits, run one 10 gauge ground wire.
While a 120/240 volt circuit i.e. a common multiwire branch circuit can serve both 120 volt and 240 volt receptacles, most 240 volt appliances use enough amperes that you would not want to share a 20 amp circuit.
While 30 amp 120 volt receptacles exist for use on circuits of that capacity, you may not connect a fixture not rated for a 30 amp circuit and you may not modify a light or appliance to have a 30 amp plug for use on that circuit.
Shared Neutral
If you insist on using a shared neutral.
There are several points to be aware of when dealing with multiwire circuits.
The first is that the two HOT wires must be connected to opposite legs of your service in the panel. This ensures that the current in that "shared neutral" wire is the difference and not the sum of the currents in the two HOT wires.
To confirm this, you should be able to measure 240V between the red and black HOT wires while seeing the typical 120V between either HOT and the white Neutral wire.
Installing multiwire branch circuits needs to be done in compliance with 210.4 of the 2002 NEC.
The important issue here is ensuring the ungrounded conductors end up on different phases. If not, the neutral currents will not cancel out and will overload the neutral conductor.
However, placing the ungrounded conductors on the different phases also has its problems. If the neutral were to open during operation, you essentialy have placed the two circuits in series with each other. This in effect cause low and high voltages outside of nominal ranges that can damage equipment.
Great care must be taken when installing multiwire branch circuits.
Is all of this worth saving $10 on wire?

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Aside from the hiring of Bobby Valentine, perhaps the most debated topic in this 2012 season for the Boston Red Sox has been finding a place for Daniel Bard. The former reliever excelled in the bullpen as the Red Sox set up man in each of the last two seasons, pitching 147.2 innings while striking out 150 batters and holding a great 2.62 ERA. In 2010 he was arguable the best set up in baseball, and while 2011 was a step back for him, his ability to lock down the eighth inning in tight games was clearly not one of the issues with the ballclub.
However, both because of the desire of the pitcher and the vision of the Red Sox starting pitching outlook in 2012, Bard was stretched out in spring training as a potential starter. From the start he clearly struggled with his command making the transition, and with the beginning of the regular season came a pitcher who seemingly lost the ability to reach the high 90s with his fastball and strike out batters consistently. This year in ten starts (55.0 innings), Bard has struck out just 34 batters while walking 37 and hitting eight, which was highlighted in his most recent start in Toronto.
His struggles prompted a recent demotion to the minor leagues, where Bard is expected to work on his mechanics for at least a few weeks. His reaction to the move by the organization was not exactly positive to say the least:
"It's not my decision. I'm just an employee here. Obviously, I'm not thrilled with it. If it was me making the decision it might have been different. But I tried to be respectful about it. Once I get the anger and disappointment out of the way you just have to try to make the best out of the situation."
What the Sox have now is a wild pitcher with big league potential, pitching with something to prove in Pawtucket. The question of how to turn this Daniel Bard into the pitcher the Sox need begins with the same question everyone has been asking: Is he a starter or a reliever?
The Red Sox bullpen has been tremendous lately (save an 8-6 in 10 innings earlier this week). Thinking that a relieving core led by Scott Atchison, Matt Albers, and Alfredo Aceves will continue to find the magic to shut down opposing hitters through the next four months of the season is probably a bit much to ask, but consider midseason arrivals on their way back to bolster the depths of the team.
The two notable acquisitions to the bullpen in the offseason, Andrew Bailey and Mark Melancon, should be returning to the team sooner than later given Bailey's road to recovery from thumb surgery and Melancon's stellar performance in the minor leagues. With those two relievers added to deepen the pen, it's hard to think there could be a place for Bard there if he is to return to the majors as a reliever.
The starting rotation right now has been stronger than the beginning of the year, when a quality start seemed like a distant fantasy. Clay Buchholz shut down the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, and Josh Beckett and Jon Lester are reliable when it comes to keeping the Sox in games. Felix Doubront starts tonight, and has been arguably the most consistent starter all year long, while the open fifth slot now belongs to Daisuke Matsuzaka, making his highly anticipated return from Tommy John surgery on Saturday.
When Bailey and Melancon return, the current closer Aceves should return to becoming the flexible middle of the game pitcher who can get the call to start every once and a while. If a pitcher was to go down while Bard is working on his stuff in the minors, Aceves or Aaron Cook would likely be the first option to plug the hole in the rotation. I'm not sure how much more confident the team can be that Bard can be put into that situation anytime soon.
Unless Daniel Bard excels in the minor leagues to epic proportions, I'm not sure he should be seen as a pitcher who needs to be in the big leagues anytime soon. I believe the organization should continue the development of him as a starter, and definitively acknowledge that for his future as a pitcher, he will be a always be a starter. Doing so will end the drama of whether or not he belongs in the bullpen or the rotation, and will allow the pitcher to mentally focus on pitching as opposed to the sideshow of questions about his role.
Given that, I was not a believer of Bard as a starter in spring training. I believe that if Bard had been given back the eighth inning or even the closer role after the injury of Bailey, not only would the team be better off but Bard would still be in the major leagues today, and he'd probably be poised for an All-Star caliber season instead of feeling like an employee instead of a pitcher.

text: After a week in the hospital I couldn't take it any more. The doctor told me I needed to be here for at least three weeks before I would recover. I was feeling better but still in a lot of pain and just wanted to go home. I hate hospitals and they are not a good place to be even when you are ill. I also hate being a patient and not being able to move which is frustrating. All I could do was lay in bed and then you start to think too much and get depressed. After some discussion the doctors agreed to let me go home on several conditions. Namely that I continued the rehabilitation therapy process at home and kept up with the medication. I also had to come back to hospital every three days to change the dressing and check the wounds. The doctors and nurses had done a great job of looking after me, but I just couldn't stand being in the hospital anymore. Thankfully I would be going home tomorrow 🙂

Nam Prik Nam Pla (Traditional Thai Sauce)
Recipe by shimmerchk
This is the classic Thai condiment you always find on a Thai table, whether its a restaurant or home. It is spooned onto everything from fried rice to noodle soups. Tightly sealed, this will keep up to 2 weeks. There are many versions of this sauce, this is the one that my family likes. Feel free to adjust the sour (lime juice), salty (fish sauce), sweet (sugar) or spicy to your liking.
Top Review by Busters friend
Tightly sealed in mason jar or tupperware & refrigerated this will keep waaaaay longer - we keep this in the back of the fridge, adding many more sliced peppers & refreshing as it gets low. We love the peppers once they are macerated. Thinking about it we have almost treated this like a starter, just adding lime juice & fish sauce & brown sugar or peppers to maintain ratio of liquid to peppers. That container has been in the fridge since...whoa, I'm embarassed to admit - suffice it to say, a long time & it is REALLY Good! Great source of B vitamins & vitamin C as well! Thank you for posting
Ingredients Nutrition
- 5 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
- 1⁄2 cup fresh lime juice
- 6 sliced birds eye chiles
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions See How It's Made
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until thoroughly blended.
- Store in airtight container up to two weeks.
- Serve with Thai Fried rice, grilled meats and satays, noodle soups or even with plain Jasmine rice.

USF defeated Savannah State, 5-3, before a crowd of 768 at USF Baseball Stadium after taking two by lopsided scores on Saturday. "Anytime you sweep anybody, I don't care who it is, it's good," said head coach Lelo Prado. Chad Taylor walked to give the Bulls their first base runner in the bottom of the first inning. James Ramsay hit a single that advanced Taylor to third base, and Daniel Rockhold followed with an RBI sacrifice fly to score Taylor and give the Bulls an early 1-0 lead. The Bulls added another run in the third inning, Taylor walked, Ramsay singled on a bunt, and both runners moved into scoring position on an error by the pitcher. Rockhold batted in another run on his second RBI sac fly to extend the Bulls' lead.. Kyle Teaf was hit by a pitch, Luis Llerena singled to right field, and Alex Mendez hit a sac-bunt to pick up an RBI and make the score 3-0 in the fourth inning. Ramsay led off the fifth inning with a walk and picked up his first stolen base of the season. Rockhold followed with an RBI double, Putnam singled and Andrew Longley hit an RBI single to continue the hot hitting for the Bulls and increase their lead to 5-0. Savannah State picked up some runs in the top of the seventh inning. Julius Green was hit by a pitch, Todd Hagen hit a single, and both runners were able to score on an error. Joseph McCrary reached on a fielder's choice and Jason Wynn came in to pinch run for McCrary and scored on an error to cut the Bulls lead 5-3. USF starter Andrew Barbosa pitched six innings, allowing one hit, three runs, no walks and six strikeouts. Barbosa (1-1) retired 15 batters he faced after allowing a leadoff single. "I'm happy for him. He pitched five quality innings and that's what we expect out of him," said Prado. The Tigers threatened late but Austin Adams closed the door, pitching two innings with one hit and no runs. "We have a lot of home games coming up, so we have to take advantage of that," said Prado. "I like our attitude, I like the way we're playing and hopefully we'll keep it rolling," The Bulls hope to continue their winning streak against Jacksonville on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at USF Baseball Stadium.

Violated - Poem by Nathan Charles
The time is now to shed the time shared by another. The walk was good, just need time to clear my mind.
I asked, I talked, I explained, and yet my trust was violated. To hide things, and to leave one behind is a violation in the worst way.
To know the dishonor you have brought, and to stand there and try to look me in the eye. You don't deserve the right to see me nor hold me.
Where I lay will always be warm. The place you lay will no longer feel the warmth I once had there. Now is the time the cold will be where I once was.
My old self has been resurrected. I tried so long ago to bury it. Now you have unleashed the one thing I have come to realize I love and hated at the same time.
My path has a new direction.....
Violated no more...

Which oil to use?

I have a 02 745Li. Aside from BMW oil, BMW has approved Castrol Syntec 5W-30 to be used. Have been using it with no problems since 02
Just an FYI. From an engineerinng stand point of view. Remember, these engines are overhead cam. The engineers has formulated the
correct viscosity in light of the fact the oil must get to the top of the motor as quick as possible. This is especially important in getting the lubrication
up to where the cams are. If the oil is too thick, it takes too long to be pumped up to the cams(very oil hungry). My engineering instructors used this
analogy....The oil must be pushed up to the overhead cams. This 10W or 5W is like the difference of pushing a 5 pound weight over your head vs a 10
pound weight over your head. And with overhead cams, you don't want to go too thick. Its 5W for that reason. Too thick and it will take too long to
lube the upper end of the motor. The days of overhead valve motors are coming to an end.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The original is 17' 10". The sail is 14.33 on the luff. The original main that came with that mast was 15 foot. That mast was a replacement for a wooden original on the dinghy I believe. If I decided to, I could cut this one to close to the original mast length I think. I am not sure how far up the slot starts. The specs give 24 inches to the gooseneck position I think.
I just taped the mast I am considering using. It is 19 foot three inches. The fore stay attaches at 14feet 11inches. I could take about 6 inches off the bottom and still keep a stock boom clearance with the gooseneck most of the way down.
If I don't locate a more likely suspect by the time the boat is fully repaired and ready to go, I think I have to give it a try. I did mention that there was gonna be a big fat feller sailing it didn't I???
How much difference does a few more pounds on the mast make?
Sailrite shows the original main as 14.33 feet by 7.5 feet. The sail being used on the mast was a 15 footer, but on the smaller boat it would be more like 16 x 7.5. The original setup was holding the boom above the slot by the luff rope. 14.33 times 7.5 versus 16 x 7.5 and the heavier mast. The Jib shows as a touch smaller than the one with the mast, but not much. Using the shorter boom we are talking 65 or so on the main and 30+ on the jib. Right at 100 sqare feet on a 12.5 foot boat. The original sails show about the same for the standard main and genoa combination. The main and the Spinnaker would be 150 or so.
How much difference does a few more pounds on the mast make?
Does anyone know what the length of the original mast on these boats was?
The foot is a sit over type with a small hook and bolt. The mast uses a heavy center pin from the side. I can mill a bracket to change it over. I just don't want to set up a boat that falls over for the slightest excuse.
Um. Yeah.
Takes me back. Our scout camp had a Puffer (and a dozen Sunfish). Everyone raced to get to the Puffer first.
The Puffer Pages!
55 sq ft main. With an eight foot boom that's a lift of about 13 feet. One for the deck-socket and maybe another 24" to the gooseneck is 16 feet.
Take off another foot if it's a nine foot boom.
Mast length
I have an AMF Puffer hull with no mast. Is a 19 foot aluminum mast too much for that small boat? Making a new boom would let me run sails about the size the boat calls for, but I am sure this mast is heavier than the one that was on it from the factory. I can make a lighter one, but using this one would be easier.

Alex Kavanagh is a pedantic, physics-obsessed geek. He's a teacher who hates teaching; a lover who's just been dumped (again); a writer whose articles all get rejected; an adult who still lives at home and gets bullied at the bus stop by teenagers; and he's just had the worst day of his life. So far, so bad. Things can only get better, right?
While drowning his sorrows he sees an ex from six years ago, Lucy Spiers. The point when Lucy dumped him was the point when his life started to go nuclear. He can't help himself: he tells her exactly what he thinks of her. So it comes as a surprise when they go on a date. He didn't expect a spark to be reignited. Couldn't foresee the power of magnetism. He hadn't realised that he still loved her.
Holy protons, he hopes she's changed.
She's changed all right. For a start, she's actually Lucy's twin sister, Jane...
Cold Fusion is a story wrapped around an enigma. It's a novel about making peace with the past and moving on.
Note: this book is an optional partner to 2000 Tunes. Both are gentle love stories about growing up.
Book Length: 308 pages / 66,000 words
ISBNs: Print 978-1-291-22251-7
Background: Frequently Asked Questions; a talk I gave about the novel
"The writing is wonderful. The dialogue is real and descriptions are poetic. [...] The fact this author writes this well about physics, English, poetry, and art, leads me to believe he either did an enormous amount of research, spoke to someone who was knowledgeable in these fields, or he has knowledge and has studied these areas. As well-written as it is, I can't imagine it's from research only."
-- Linda Burson, Goodreads (7th May 2017)
"Quarter of the way in I realised I was hooked by the story. [...] a well written story that crams a lot into less than 200 pages. So in conclusion another great read and one that whilst relatively straightforward is actually far from it. Unlike some books that are like a jigsaw puzzle where pieces come together I would liken this to a "Magic Eye" image - If you look hard enough you may see a completely different picture."
-- Ian, Goodreads (6th June 2016)
"Cold Fusion 2000 by Karl Drinkwater is a surprisingly powerful perspective on the life of a "loner." Set in England, Drinkwater's dialogue maintains the lively spirit of rural Manchester, creating an other-worldly tone. I appreciated the lesson given that we are never too old to try new things and experience a fresh outlook on life. Normally not delighted with surprises, this reviewer is delightfully surprised with Cold Fusion 2000. I really enjoyed this book."
-- Readers' Favorite (14th April 2016)
"Cold Fusion 2000, by Karl Drinkwater, is a book that must be read to the end. It is a story of love, loss and moving on. As with a Rubik's cube, it is not clear how the puzzle satisfies until the final few twists re-establish order. [...] To talk more of how the plot develops would be to give spoilers. It really is a book where everything happens for a reason. [...] This is a clever book that warns against allowing your heart to be so crushed it becomes a black hole, and how love does not always follow the rules."
-- Neverimitate (25th September 2015)
"Wow ... If you love the Big Bang show, then you'll love this story. Watch out for Lucy as she's a kicker and not at all who... Never mind as that would spoil everything. This is a great love story where two lonely souls find each other. This is one to treasure and read again and again. There are no wasted words here."
-- Full review (16th August 2015)
"Very rarely do I want to re-read a book although after finishing Cold Fusion 2000 I wanted to start again and appreciate it on an entirely different level. Thoroughly enjoyable read."
-- Full review (12th February 2015)
"Intricate layers of family, life and love twist in to Cold Fusion 2000. With its bittersweet ending and complicated characters, Karl writes with truth and hope in this coming-of-age novel. The characters are so ordinary, yet so distinctive and have all had a taste of an epiphany in their time. The past plays a huge part of the novel, but what it truly comes down to in the end is the outlook for the future and the peace that the characters have to make with their own pasts. I was pleasantly surprised throughout the story with every new unveiling, and can say that this is a one-of-a-kind novel that can be interpreted in many different ways and that the reader plays a huge part in what they can take from the enigma-filled novel. A hugely inspiring novel that I adored from start to finish."
-- Pretty Little Memoirs (17th November 2013)
"I was hooked. [...] I don't want to say too much about the book as I don't want to spoil it, but there are clues in the book leading up to a twist at the end. I didn't see the twist coming and only realised what the clues were after I'd read it and started thinking about how we had got there. A great book which I think every reader will interpret slightly differently and get something different from."
-- Sheli Reads. (9th October 2013)
"The characters were not the type of characters that are usually written about in books…they are flawed. They have oddities, a strange quality about them that makes you both love them and want to back slowly away from them at the same time. I loved the interactions and dialogues between Alex and Lucy/Jane and even Alex and his family and coworkers. Very dysfunctional at times and very true to life and caring at others. Realistic and true to life characters always make a story for me, of course, they aren't the only part of the tale, but for me they are a huge part of my reading experience. [...] the characters were so compelling that I had to continue reading. Definitely worthy of picking up and testing the waters for yourself."
-- Doubleshot Reviews (24th September 2013)
"A banger of a read. [...] One gets the feeling from the start to keep an open mind. To tread gently and to respect their reality, whatever it is. Reading 'Cold Fusion, is like landing on the Big Bang set, trapped in Sheldon's mind. Logic and obsessive compulsive behaviours are the norm, everyone else is crazy. There is plenty of light relief, made accessible by the easy to read style, and so called normal characters, Alex calls family. It kept me engaged from beginning to end. By Fusion's end, it was a great relief to see Sheldon, no sorry, Alex, in love with Penny. No, no, not Penny........... You'll just have to read it to get the drift."
-- Full review (19th September 2013)
"So enjoyable, so mysterious. What is the reality? Can we ever really know? Is it what we, the readers, want it to be? Is our esteemed author playing with us or with the characters in this ever so interesting and clever book? It also has all sorts of interesting touches and insertions. I didn't read any of the material about it on KD's blog first and I urge other readers to follow my lead and read it with an open, uninformed mind so as to enjoy its full effect. I guarantee I will be re-reading this, it has that much depth."
-- Full review (15th September 2013)
"At first Cold Fusion 2000 feels a bit like a mash up of The Rosie Project, the Adrian Mole series, with a touch of the humour of The Big Bang Theory, but it is definitely its own book. Opening with a cool time-line of Alex's biggest 'life-events' (complete with song references), I found the book immediately interesting and engaging."
-- Full review. (8th September 2013)
"I warmed to this book. [...] There is a real warmth in this unfolding, and a few enjoyable twists as well. It is quite fun too, to see the millennium period technology (so recent in my mind) in the context of the developments over the intervening years."
-- Full review (7th September 2013)
"It brought back happy memories of millenium era Manchester, and captures some of the joys and frustrations of the time beautifully [...] The story is beautifully told, with multiple layers, while at the same time giving us a straightforward romance firmly rooted in family life, with all it's trials and tribulations - while also operating a shell game worthy of the late lamented Elmore Leonard, where not only does the story have a twist in the tail, but it has an entirely different story going on underneath, yet still in plain sight... This is the type of book that rewards re-reading, as you begin to spot more depth, and notice the clues you missed the first time around. [...] This is the first book I have read by Karl Drinkwater, but it will not be the last."
-- Full review (4th September 2013)
"I didn't pick up on all of the small details until right at the end. Now, of course, the things I missed seem obvious. It's not so much a coming of age story (yes, some people come of age much later than others) as a reminder that we each influence the world we want. And sometimes, answers (and love itself) come from unlikely places."
-- Full review (3rd September 2013)
"I enjoyed the use of poetry and art throughout the book. [...] a surprisingly complex and enjoyable experience. [...] I asked myself if I was keen to reread it. I am."
-- Full review (31st August 2013)
"I found this book particularly funny [...] Furthermore, I really like the style in which this book is written, it makes me want to keep going back to read more. I would recommend this book to anyone who is willing to give it a go. I really enjoyed it."
-- Full review (28th August 2013)
"This was a fun read - a romance with a bit of a difference that had some good twists and turns as well as some humour and poignant aspects. Set in Manchester in the year 2000, I loved all of the evocative references to music and fashion; I was at college that year myself so identified with Alex's younger sister and her own predicament with her exams. There was a lot of attention to detail that made this a really atmospheric read. The characters have a good deal of depth to them too. [...] My favourite character was actually Natalie - a girl who wore her heart on her sleeve. It made me smile to realise that Alex didn't pick up on just what was under his nose - typical! [...] This was a solid, realistic story about love, loss, and the choices we make. Readers will definitely identify with Alex in some way: his constant soul-searching, procrastination and continual remembrance of his lost love."
-- Full review (23rd August 2013)
"Reading about what we used to have, slow (crappy) computers, the first mobile phones, the whole Y2K thingy, and I could go on and on and on....I am part of that generation and it felt like a Back to the Future trip, it was great to see how much Alex foresaw and how much technology has evolved in such a short period of time. [...] this book is way smarter than the average [...] this book is even more brilliant because we were under the skin of a very complex character. I also thought of Sheldon Cooper a lot."
-- Full review (21st August 2013)
"I don't wish to spoil this novel for anyone, but I must say, it's a very good read. The two main characters are stunning in their utterly blatant humanity. They are engaging, absorbing, and wonderful. I found myself losing whole chunks of time in this book without realizing it, that's how entertaining it is. The author is able to capture the complexity of thought and emotion that goes into every moment of being an individual and their relationships with those around them, while maintaining a very charming wit. Very well done. I very highly recommend this book."
-- Full review (20th August 2013)
"I really began to warm to, and feel for Alex as his life at home moved from one disaster to another, and he became more and more alone. The return of his ex girlfriend and all the twists that involved was great, I found myself desperately wanting it to work out for Alex and 'Lucy'. The end was not as I was expecting, it could have gone several ways and kept me guessing right to the end. A good book with twists and turns, and great characters with plenty going on."
-- Full review (20th August 2013)
"I enjoyed this book immensely The main character, Alex, was odd but real. I thoroughly enjoyed his dysfunctional relationship with his family, especially the scene when he is at his family party. [...] I found myself cheering for his relationship with Jane/Lucy [...] I respect Mr. Drinkwater tremendously for his bravery with this view into the themes of closure and moving on. I love novels which change perspectives throughout the story and he uses this format in a new and effective way. [...] A solid, enjoyable read!"
-- Full review (17th August 2013)
"I absolutely loved it, it's really intelligently written."
-- Video review (13th August 2013)
"Although it is described as an adult contemporary, I found it to be much more intelligently written than most contemporary novels [...] The descriptive style made the characters and locations come to life [...] I loved the development of the characters and found each of them relatable in some way, although they were all distinct from each other and completely realistic. [...] One of my favourite things about this book was the level of research that was evident throughout. As someone that has a keen interest in art, the scene in the Whitworth gallery was one of my favourites – the vivid descriptions coupled with the opinions of both characters involved really drew me into the scene and kept me captivated. I finished this book in about a day and I am completely in love with Karl Drinkwater's writing style. At only 200 pages, it makes a short yet thought-provoking philosophical read full of quirky science-fiction references and well-built locations and characters. I would definitely recommend this to adult readers of contemporary literature and I can't imagine not picking this up again at some point in the future."
-- Full review (5th August 2013)
"This was a very clever book, so delightfully different from what I expected. [...] this is not the usual romantic comedy.. [...] There are a couple of interesting twists that lead to an ending that just tickled me! I will read it again (and look forward to reading more by Karl Drinkwater)."
-- Full review (4th August 2013)
"As the story line develops it grabs you and you find yourself completely unable to put the book down. You care about the main character, you care about the story, you are disappointed when you are finished. You long to meet other people who have read it, and discuss the plot and the metaphors at length. If it was a play, I would give it a standing ovation. Bravo!"

"This is almost a coming-of-age story. A reminder that maturity is not all-encompasing, Some things take longer to grow. A look into how powerful a pull our past can have on us and how much it can affect us, but we all have the power to change that. The past does not hurt us because we try to move on, it hurts us because we do nothing. A simple change in attitude can completely alter our perceptions and the way we are perceived by others. A bittersweet, slightly confusing ending, that leaves a little hollowness, along with new, tentative hope. A small hint- the story is not always as black and white as first it seems. You really have to pay attention to the small clues in this book. Remember everything. One tiny, little detail can change how you perceive the entire story. The revelation that comes with understanding, only adds to the bitterness left at the end. There's a few different interpretations of this story, that are each entirely down to the reader. You'll be wondering long after the pages (or in my case iPad) close. This is the perfect re-read. [...] It is the ending that makes this book. A plot that seems so ordinary, and sometimes disjointed, becomes an epiphany, but only for the reader. That is what makes it so good. For the characters, the story is simplicity itself, but for those reading it, it is hours spent wondering. Thinking back, seeing clues that could point in so many different directions. An almost personalised book- each person will get something a little different from it. [...] overall, this is a simple plot about living. Moving on from your past and yourself. In the end, the world is what we make of it. Not positive or negative. A neutral that waits for us to imprint on it."

"Refreshing. Like a few stories rolled into one - the 30-something academic living unwillingly at home, physics obsessed and socially awkward; the identical twins, one of whom broke said academic's heart, the other hoping to heal it for him; the smitten friend. [...] I recently read Geek Girl and The Rosie Project concurrently with this and it's in good company."

"Fascinating, unpredictable outcome with refreshingly intelligent characters. A great companion to a rainy day and a cup of tea. Looking forward to more from this author in any genre."

"Mr Drinkwater has cleverly interwoven an intricate thread around signposts rooted in physics, mathematics, and even neuropsychology [...] The writing is wonderfully warm, descriptive, even faintly blokeish so that I constantly called to mind Simon Pegg in the role of the protagonist Alex. I noticed that the style changed regularly, at times rhythmic for which I comfortably settled into a John Cooper Clarkeish narration, perfect for the turn of the century Manchester setting, and at others more straightforward prose, a clue again no doubt. With a cast of supporting characters which could have been hewn from Mrs Brown's Boys, there are really very few who really matter, namely Alex, Lucy and Jane, and the beautifully portrayed Natalie. Alex is 30 year old teacher, who as a student fell in love and had his heart broken by his muse Lucy. As so often happens, he becomes bitter and no other woman will either do or is to be completely trusted, and so he floats between his work, paternal home and the pub. [...] the characters and relationships drawn are very human and tangible, recognisable to anyone who has loved and lost, then drifted through life whilst others seem to have it all. Equally realistic is the chasing of a muse (in this case a love interest, yet no less applicable to wealth, fame, power, ambition) so potent yet so destructive as to leave one blind to the possibilities which exist close at hand, patiently waiting to heal, soothe and show you the right path to the soul's satisfaction."

"Very Poignant, concise, and perfect; a lot is conveyed in very few words. This particular book was incredibly funny and charismatic with well developed characters. The characters felt real way before the story dives into them. Cold Fusion 2000 is a first-person narrative of a nerdy guy who figuratively is on the verge of willfully putting himself into a coma. That's how I visualized the character's personality anyways. [...] The dialog really won my heart over <3. [...] A Funny, Charming, Engaging, and Delicious little voyage."
-- Full review (21st February 2013)
"It's rare to find a book that makes you laugh and think in equal measure. Cold Fusion 2000 does just that, as Drinkwater explores that time between leaving university and life starting in earnest, a time that should be filled of hope for the future but that all too often is full of longing for the past. [...] The writing evokes a rare sultry summer in Manchester at the turn of the Millennium - sticky buses, sweaty staff rooms, stifling heat. [...] Alex and Jane are great characters. Alex a frustrated physicist, kicking himself about things he should have done. Jane with a joie de vivre, trying to make amends for things another has done. The scenes in which they are together - particularly those set in the gallery and at the house party - are highly charged and full of longing. I read Cold Fusion 2000 on a train between London and the Peak District. I couldn't put this moving account of growing up and letting go down until it had reached its surprising conclusion."

Deterritorializations: Repetition, Stutter, Report (the first of two brief forays) May 1, 2013: The book is liquid dreams. Writing is stone. Writing is breath unheld. The book is air

January 22, 2013
Some call mobile phones the great equalizer. With one click, poor farmers in rural Uganda can have the same access to information as a rancher in Texas. Because of this, many expect the dramatic growth of phones in the developing world to bring boundless opportunities.
But according to a GSMA report released in October, we actually ended 2012 with about 2 billion fewer mobile phone subscribers than previously thought. GSMA's estimate of 3.2 billion subscribers by the end of the year (growing at a rate of 16 % per year) is at odds with another report by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) – one of the main public sources of information often cited for this data – that put the count at 6 billion and growing.
So who's right? The difference lies in understanding what's being counted. ITU totals the gross number of locked and unlocked SIM cards in circulation. By contrast, GSMA makes a distinction between the number of connections (its report cites 5.9 billion mobile connections, excluding inactive SIM cards and machine-to-machine communications) and the actual number of unique subscribers, because many people have more than one SIM.
If we go with the GSMA figure – and many in the technology-for-development (T4D) field do – then what does this mean for the mobile-based initiatives that have been developed for poor and underserved communities? How can organizations leading these efforts design products that take non-mobile users into account? And should they actively promote phone ownership to help more people access these benefits?
Here are a few things we've learned based on our experience delivering these services:
1. Build a mobile+ system
"Technology has positive effects only to the extent that people are willing and able to use it positively." (Kentaro Toyama, Boston Review)
It's exciting to see the jump in the number of poor people signing up for mobile-based services. In fact, some researchers have found that poor people will buy phone access before almost any other necessity. The phones provide the greatest benefit to the poor, however, when services are designed specifically to meet their needs and circumstances. For example, in both our mobile health initiative in Ghana and our microsavings program in India, we learned that it was common for the phone to be shared in the family or for a community to share a single phone. This made it difficult for the pregnant women and new mothers in Ghana to get the weekly calls from the Mobile Midwife service, and kept many Indian women from depositing money into their savings accounts regularly. Those with limited phone experience also had trouble using the phone's features to navigate the systems on their own.
Improving those experiences demands different approaches to service design. One strategy is building human networks to bridge the gap for those without phones. A "trusted intermediary" equipped with a smartphone and data services can become a valued advisor to neighboring households. Grameen Foundation is already doing this in Uganda with Community Knowledge Workers who provide valuable information to poor farmers, and we have started working with the Ghana Health Service to use Community Health Workers in this role. In Uganda, some early, independent results have showed a 17 percent increase in farmers' knowledge of fair market prices – which translates into real benefits for them and their families.
2. Design for the User not the Technology
This intermediary approach doesn't necessarily address the needs of all users. For example, mobile savings clients need to safeguard their private financial information. So, do we fast-track these services for those who own or have easy access to phones and then focus later on those without access to phones? Or do we try to break the "one size fits all" mold and follow Ignacio Mas's advice to change the product to accommodate the behavior of the client?
Adopting the latter approach takes more than simply changing or tweaking a product; it's about researching and understanding the whole customer experience. For example, we discovered that many of the microsavings clients in India know only how to choose the green button to talk to whomever they're calling, and to use the red button to hang up. As a result, they often ask their children to help them use the phone, including making deposits. Grameen Foundation is using trusted intermediaries from the microfinance institution we're working with to help the clients conduct these transactions. This works best, however, when clients have long-standing relationships with an institution and have regular contact with the staff. For more remote locations or those situations where relationships are not as strong, we need different models. One option could involve using agents to conduct transactions and having clients simply confirm them with a PIN code.
3. Improve the Economics of Access
The new figures from GSMA also remind us that billions of poor people have no access to phones. In addition, as our work moves deeper into rural areas, we're finding more people using older phones and systems that don't provide the security they need for financial services, or the data capabilities that would improve their productivity.
So how should the T4D community respond? Do we work with telecommunications firms to help expand access to phones? Or should we focus on expanding options that don't require phone ownership? Is there a third way?
Grameen Foundation is exploring ways to work with existing social enterprises and groups to provide mobile services to their members. We're also looking at partnerships that can help increase the value of investing in a phone.
Another big question is, when does the cost of performing a transaction outweigh the benefits?
Some customers tell us that the cost is too high and the return is too uncertain – "information" alone is not sufficiently compelling to offset the cost of a text message or a data subscription. Others, especially those seeking mobile financial services, immediately recognize the benefit and adopt the services, though cost still remains a challenge for many.
The coming year certainly presents new opportunities and challenges for making mobile phones truly benefit the poor. Grameen Foundation is looking forward to seeing new innovations from across the industry.

So, Ya Like Zombies Do Ya?
Zombies! They are more popular than ever! We even had a 'zombie prom' right here in town recently. What makes these rotting, reanimated corpses so likeable? Good question…maybe George A Romero has the answer. If you don't know who he is, thn you probably shouldn't watch this graphic, gory collection of scenes from movies that feature the undead. Remember, "When Hell Is Full, The Dead Shall Walk The Earth!" Enjoy!

The Royal Albert Hall had been sold out for the past six months — with standing room in the Arena. Bellowhead are the signature group of the English folk revival and this concert marked their 10th anniversary. They are a big band — 11 on stage — and they've always liked larger-than-life gestures. This includes the performance-style of front man Jon Boden, a towering presence on vocals and fiddle, a leg-kicking horn section and album titles such as Burlesque and Hedonism.
Sunday's concert romped through 24 songs from all their albums, from their first, little-known EP, Onymous, through Burlesque, Matachin, Hedonism and Broadside, to a preview of a couple of tracks from the forthcoming Revival. It took two or three songs for lyrics to become audible, but the arrangements are inventive, with punchy syncopations pushing the music forward.
Some of the songs are darkish — like Black Beetle Pies, about exactly that, while New York Girls warns of the tricks of the city's whores. Dance tunes such as Cross-eyed and Chinless break down into different instrumental formulations — brass, strings, saxophone — and several players switch instruments, notably Rachael McShane who plays cello and violin.
Over the years Bellowhead have won eight BBC Folk Awards, usually Best Group or Best Live Act, because they look like they are having fun and know how to create a party. The audience were clearly onside and on their feet by the end.
"We couldn't leave without doing this," Boden laughed as they launched into London Town, a favourite from their first album. There were fireworks accompanying the final musical flourish.

A lot of time people associate Winter time with the color white. That makes sense. White's the color of snow. But when you really look at winter, you see that there are way more colors that are out there than just white. There's cool blues, and reds, and grays. Look at these photos of Nicolas Mueller and Cam Pierce for instance. They're colorful and vibrant, just like winter

Two Sworn Complaints Filed Against Michelle Dunlap
More trouble for the director of Phoenix Animal Rescue.
Two sworn complaints have been filed against Michelle Dunlap.
If you remember TV20 has reported on numerous complaints against Dunlap and her treatment of animals in her care by former rescue volunteers and a board member.
After an extensive investigation, both of the sworn complaints were filed on Wednesday by officers with Alachua County Animal Control.
The felony complaint includes animal cruelty and death and pain and or suffering.
The other complaint is a misdemeanor and deals with unlawful confinement and abandonment of animals.
State attorney Bill Cervone told TV20 it is possible that his office will make a decision within the next 30 days if they will proceed with formal charges against Dunlap.

If you already filed your federal tax return and are due a refund, you have several options for checking on the status of your refund.
One way is to use "Where's My Refund?" an interactive tool on the IRS Web site at IRS.gov. Simple online instructions guide taxpayers through a process that checks the status of their refund after they provide identifying information shown on their tax return. Once the information is processed, you could get several responses, including:
Where's My Refund? is a very flexible tool. Whether you split your refund among several accounts, opt for direct deposit into one account, or ask IRS to mail you a check, Where's My Refund? gives you online access to your refund information. You can even use Where's My Refund? if you filed taxes only to claim a refund of the telephone excise tax.
Where's My Refund? also include links to customized information based on the taxpayer's specific situation. The links guide taxpayers through the steps they need to take to resolve any issues that may be affecting their refund. For example, if you do not get the refund within 28 days from the original IRS mailing date shown on Where's My Refund?, you can do a refund trace online.
The "Where's My Refund?" service meets stringent IRS security and privacy certifications. Taxpayers enter identifying information that includes their Social Security number, filing status and the exact amount of the refund shown on the return. This specific information verifies that the person is authorized to access that account and avoids an unsuccessful response.
"Where's My Refund?" is accessible to visually impaired taxpayers who use the Job Access with Speech screen reader used with a Braille display and is compatible with different JAWS modes.
Another option for checking the status of your refund is by calling the IRS TeleTax System at 800-829-4477 or the IRS Refund Hotline at 800-829-1954. When calling, you must provide the first Social Security number shown on the return, your filing status and the amount of the refund. If the IRS processed your return, the system will tell you the date your refund will be sent. The TeleTax refund information is updated each weekend. If you do not get a date for your refund, please wait until the next week before calling back.

Background: Font color:
Everything you recognize is property of JKR. Everything you don't recognize is property of me. Stealing is bad for your conscience.
During the summer of her 18th year, Rose Weasley found her first love. He was a local boy who lived with his best friend near her neighborhood. She met him while visiting the Potters; she had taken her cousins and brother for a walk near the playground and met Cort there.
It was raining by the time Rose and her cousins got to the playground. James and Hugo decided to play in the puddles and the falling rain, but Rose took Lily and Albus under the big slide to seek refuge from getting wetter than need be.
Rose was the shortest, so she stood closest to the descending end of the slide. Next was Albus, then Lily.
"Apparently, I'm not the only one who favors staying dry," said a voice that echoed beneath the big slide.
Rose jumped. She turned to the source of the voice and was met with a pair of soft eyes that didn't match a muscular physique. If it weren't for this young man's smile, she would fear that he would rip her to pieces with his bare hands.
"I guess not," she said, returning a polite smile. The young man was the tallest of the four of them, and he had to crane his neck around Albus and Lily in order to see her.
"I'm Cort," he said, extending his long arm around Lily and Albus. Lily rolled her eyes.
"Rose." She took his hand and felt him grip it tightly, then loosen. She imagined he was one who didn't know his own strength.
Five years after their honeymoon, Ted and Victoire still had the passion they'd had as teenagers. It was a weekday and the couple had decided to forget that the rest of the world existed in order to spend a secret afternoon in bed.
The sun was shining – the beginning of summer was upon them – leaking through the cracks between the drapes. The drapes were, in fact, shower curtains; the young couple couldn't afford the burgundy ones that fit Victoire's liking.
Victoire's liking, Teddy quickly learned, was most important. Picking out their home, too, was a decision on which Victorie had the final say. For Teddy, life would be about making his new wife happy.
At the moment, he knew what that meant.
Love-making was one of the only activities in which Victoire gave Teddy control. Victorie liked to do things her way, and she felt it was somehow her responsibility to take care of every minute detail. While she tended to the day-to-day, practical items of the agenda, Teddy was the dreamer. Teddy was the passionate one, and she knew that she could trust him with her intimacy, though they were few and far between.
These were the moments when Victoire was allowed to give up all responsibility and let Teddy take care of her, for she knew that he was able.
It started almost instantly. There was definitely an immediate attraction, though Rose couldn't quite understand how this handsome boy picked her over her cousin Lily who, in Rose's opinion, was much better-looking.
It was his eyes that captured Rose. They shined bright gray, almost silver. It was as though Cort were a ghost or an apparition.
Or a fantasy.
The chemistry between them was undeniable, and following their first meeting, he took Rose on several dates.
Cort loved to drink coffee, and he introduced Rose to the new drug. Many of their dates were at various coffee places around the town. They were all muggle places, though, and Rose promised herself that she would take Cort out for a firewhiskey.
"You're really p-pretty, Rose," Cort sputtered after taking a gulp of his coffee.
Rose's eyes widened. Was he saying this because of the coffee? Or was he serious? "Thanks, Cort." She offered him a smile.
"No, I mean… you're really pretty, R-rose." This time, he said it without taking another sip. He leaned over the table and his eyes darted from her right to her left.
He was serious, all right.
She reached out and touched his cheek. He flinched and pulled back. "S-sorry," he said.
"What's the matter?"
"No, it's just – I mean –" His leg bobbed under the table for two. He licked his lips a lot and blinked several times. "It's just that you're s-so pretty."
Rose chuckled. "Thank you. That's sweet."
Suddenly, an idea dawned on her. She downed the rest of her coffee, which had become cold, and said, "Come home with me."
Cort's eyes may have popped out of his head and rolled across the table.
Victoire lay beneath Teddy like a fresh flower that had been picked for a bouquet. She looked at her husband with soft, pure eyes. Though otherwise demanding and harsh, Victoire was angelic during their intimate moments. These were the moments Teddy loved most of all; looking into her eyes as she submitted herself to him, the sun shining in through the makeshift window décor, smelling her hair, her skin. Taking all of her in. These were Teddy's favorite moments.
Idly, he hoped they would still have these moments on weekday afternoons fifty years from now.
Rose's parents thought Cort was the greatest. "I haven't met a more well-mannered boy since Harry," Ron had said.
"He was a bit nervous, though, wasn't he?" Hermione nudged her daughter.
Rose shrugged. "Yeah, but that's what I like about him."
"I know what you mean," Hermione said, eyeing Ron from across the room.
"What's that supposed to mean?" he said.
One evening, over coffee, Cort spilled a secret that she was sure he would have rather kept to himself.
"I thought you would dump me when you found out I'm not as smooth as I look."
Rose laughed. "Why would I dump you? You're the sweetest guy I've ever met."
Cort shrugged and took another sip of coffee. "I thought you'd want someone who's… you know… cool."
"I like you, Cort. I like you just the way you are. I like that you stutter when you get nervous, and I like that you bob your knee when you're anxious."
Cort smiled and leaned across the table, beckoning with his finger for Rose to do the same. He planted a sweet, soft-lipped kiss on her cheek.
That was the night they became official boyfriend and girlfriend.
That was the night that Rose thought would be the best night of her life.
That was the night Rose was sure she'd found love.
