City Pages story a national finalist in GLAAD Media Awards
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamationannounced the nominees
and honorees for its 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards and a recent City Pages cover story made the cut.
It was late November in 2004 and Lauren Wendt was on her way to a Wednesday-evening church service. As she walked up the concrete steps and entered through the white doors of the brick-faced Ascension Lutheran Church, she was ready to pray. She enjoyed her work volunteering for a church-based immigration and refugee service in Maryland, but moving to a new city had made her lonely. Although she thought about dating, she was used to being single--she'd been that way all throughout college.
The walls inside the church were soft blue, the carpet red, and the pews a brilliant shade of colonial white. Gathered inside were about 30 churchgoers in their mid-twenties. A group of skinny boys and girls at the front tuned guitars and set up drums as they prepared to play Christian rock to accompany the service.
After taking the pulpit, the pastor encouraged the parishioners to stand and introduce themselves to each other. Wendt enjoyed this part. She has a firm handshake, a pleasant grip that squeezes without hurting. Her green eyes smiled as she basked in the fellowship.
The service went along at a brisk pace--communion, songs, and sermon. As the band began to play its final song, Wendt rose to her feet. She reached her arms out from her sides, closed her eyes, and began to pray.
She went deep within herself. The music faded. And she heard a voice.
"Go to seminary," it said.
Wendt felt a calming presence descend on her body. The voice seemed to embrace her from head to toe. She was sure it was God.
Then he added: "And you're gay. Get over it."

... It has quite the history; a town founded for a copper mine and then run by brothels and saloons. It was deemed the "wickedest town in the west." It also had a jail which slid from it's original location down the cliff, remaining somehow intact. It took root in the middle of the main drag of the town, so after some time they just pushed it a bit farther so that it would be out of the way.

The ruins date between 1100 to 1300 AD when the Sinagua people built and lived in them. The other ruins we saw also dated approximately within this period.

The International Maritime Hall of Fame announced recently the Georgia Ports Authority's (GPA) Executive Director Doug J. Marchand will be honored as one of its newest members on May 13, 2009, at the United Nations in New York City. The International Maritime Hall of Fame was founded in 1993 and recognizes maritime visionaries, who, through excellence in their company, organization, or services, best exemplify the qualities of futuristic thinking that will guide the maritime industry in the 21st Century.
"By creating unique opportunities and success at the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick, Doug has set the standard in the port industry and developed a model others attempt to duplicate," said GPA's Chairman of the Board Steve Green. "From targeting distribution centers to capitalizing on specialized cargo segments, Doug's excellent management has created an historic track record for the Georgia Ports Authority."
Marchand has served as GPA's Executive Director since 1995. The GPA is a statewide entity that owns and operates deepwater terminals in Savannah and Brunswick and manages inland river barge terminals in Bainbridge and Columbus. During the 14 years of his tenure, the Authority's container and automobile volumes have more than quadrupled. Today, the Port of Savannah is recognized as the nation's fourth largest and fastest growing container port.
As Executive Director of the Authority's $250m annual budget and 1,000 employees, Marchand and his team have transformed Georgia's maritime industry into a dynamic economic engine. He has successfully combined effective marketing strategies and capital investment to achieve results.
Marchand's story of success has been featured in many international publications, including the page-one story in The Wall Street Journal, "How Savannah Brought New Life to Its Aging Port." Marchand has received numerous awards and distinctions during the course of his Maritime career, including Savannah Chamber of Commerce's 2004 Industrial Person of the Year, the Journal of Commerce Leadership Roll in International Trade, and Georgia Trend's 100 Most Influential Georgians for four years running. In 1997, Marchand received Professional Port Manager (PPM) Program Certification through the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA).
Marchand has held leadership positions in the AAPA and currently serves on the Executive Committee of that 125-member organization. Marchand is also a Board Director for the Georgia Freight Bureau, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, the South Atlantic Caribbean Ports Association and the International Association of Ports & Harbors.
Other honorees for the 16th International Maritime Hall of Fame include International President of International Organization of Masters for Mates & Pilots Captain Timothy A. Brown, General Maritime Corporation Chairman Peter C. Gergiopoulos, China Shipping (Group Company) President Li Shaode and Ports America Advisory Board's Senior Strategic Advisor Douglas A. Tilden.
Georgia's deepwater ports and inland barge terminals support more than 286,476 jobs throughout the state annually and contribute $14.9b in income, $55.8b in revenue and $2.8b in state and local taxes to Georgia's economy.

If Schweinsteiger and Robben aren't enough to worry about... here are six other Bayern danger men for Arsenal to watch out for
Arsene Wenger's side have a huge task when they bid to overcome Bayern Munich at the Emirates on Tuesday night.
Here, Sportsmail looks at SIX men who Jupp Heynckes is likely to deploy to make the Gunners' night all the more difficult.
Has had so little to do this season that he combated extreme cold and inactivity against Schalke recently by holding an impromptu practice session with substitute Thomas Muller behind the goal, while play was at the other end.
Proved he can still maintain concentration levels with brilliant reflex save from trademark Diego free-kick against Wolfsburg last Friday.
Man mountain: Manuel Neuer, in training at the Emirates on Monday, will hope to keep a clean sheet
Famed as one of the most attacking full backs around, he still loves to get forward and link up with Thomas Muller or Arjen Robben on the right.
But Jupp Heynckes has made greater stability at the back one of his priorities this season and drilled into Lahm the need to be a defender first and foremost. As a result, just seven goals have been conceded in 22 Bundesliga games so far.
Captain fantastic: Philipp Lahm (centre right) will offer an attacking outlet from the full back position
Has hit peak form at 29 after being the least heralded of Bayern's four main summer signings.
A £4million buy from Borussia Monchengladbach, his development has been such that he was handed a Brazil debut against England at Wembley earlier this month.
Very solid if unspectacular central defender and calm in possession. Surprise packet this season.
Coming of age: Dante has hit peak form since joining the German giants
Signed from Athletic Bilbao for a Bundesliga record 40million euros (£34.4million) after Bayern president Uli Hoeness decided they needed a 'calfbiter' in midfield.
Hoeness feels they paid 10m euros over the odds to trigger Martinez's release clause, but there can be no doubting the versatile Spaniard's impact.
Has added the required bite in a midfield anchor role and seldom wastes possession.
Cultured: Javi Martinez joined from Athletic Bilbao last summer and has shone since his arrival
Consistently Bayern's most dangerous attacker over the past five years, the bad news for Arsenal is he's getting even better with age.
Recently voted the Bundesliga's best player, up to the winter break, by the country's sportswriters and his fellow-professionals.
Turns 30 in April and admits there may not be many more chances to win the Champions League. Faces a court case for allegedly soliciting an underage prostitute.
Danger man: France winger Franck Ribery has been a consistent threat for Bayern
Mario Gomez was rated one of Europe's most lethal finishers, but has been relegated to the bench by this prolific 6ft 2in Croatian front-runner.
Signed from Wolfsburg for £10million, he scored in the sixth minute of the Super Cup against Dortmund and has 15 goals so far this season.
Sharp in and around the box, superior aerial strength gives him the edge over Gomez.
Lethal: Mario Mandzukic has relegated the clinical Mario Gomez to the bench
And another: Mandzukic watches a goal fly in against Wolfsburg in their league clash

To get a http request to the internet, we have to explicitly send that request to the proxy. This packet has to include the FQDN in the request. In essence, we have to use wget to send "Get HTTP://mydomain.com/BigLongFwknopKey"; to the proxy. My server sees "GET /BigLongFwknopKey HTTP/1.1" 404 461 "-" "Wget/1.10.2" I've compared the httpd logs from a valid SPA with the log entry of our SPA going through the proxy.

"The Coming of the Nerdettes"
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Over at technewsworld.com, Katherine Noyes wrote a blog about a recent Newsweek article, "Revenge of the Nerdette." I considered mentioning the Newsweek article last week, but I didn't think it was particularly newsworthy – the concept of "Meet the Nerd Girls: they're smart, they're techie and they're hot" didn't say anything new or revolutionary to me. Basically, it rehashed the stereotype that a person can't be attractive and tech-savvy and intelligent and, *gasp*, a woman. Katherine's blog did a nice job of integrating comments and reactions to the original article, though, so I thought I'd pass it along.comments powered by Disqus

In it, Charlotte.com reports that:This town has full access to Union County's law enforcement resources because it contracts for nine sheriff's officers, and establishing an independent police department in Indian Trail would be costly, Sheriff ...
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Charlotte.com.
#1 Sep 18, 2007
How does Stallings, a town of fractional size compared to Indian Trail,afford to have a police department?
#2 Sep 18, 2007
I don't understand why the town is paying for Union County Sheriff department. What more in services do we recieve than the Union County towns such as Stallings that have there own police departments ?
It seems most towns have gone the way of there own department ( Stallings, Monroe, Waxhaw are a few that come to mind) there must of been good reason for them to do this.
#3 Sep 18, 2007
I would encourage you to listen to what Sheriff Cathey said at the Town Council meeting on Sept. 11. He talked about a lot of the services we receive. http://indiantrail.granicus.com/ViewPublisher...
Some points of fact. IT pays $66,755 per deputy. This includes 8 deputies and 1 Sergeant.
Stallings pays $85,082 per officer, they currently have 20 sworn officers. Stallings spends $1,701,634 for their police department.
These numbers are total public safety budget numbers divided by the number of officers.
The more I research into this, the more I find it to our advantage to continue our contract with the Sheriff. We definatly need more officers. The town and county are working on a grant that will provide IT with 6 more Sheriffs deputies for traffic, which the town will not have to pay for. On top of this, I think we need to add at least 6 more deputies now and work to add more not long after this.
Working with the Sheriffs office will keep our taxes lower.
#4 Sep 18, 2007
Looking at your figures to add another 6 deputies we would be at 1.4 Million. Very close to the 1.7 Stallings is spending for there own department.I would really have to see the pros and cons of each.
But my question really is. What exactly are we getting now ? Don't the residents already pay for the Union County Sheriff department in your County taxes? What does it mean that we are contracting these deputies ? If we just stopped paying wouldn't they have to come here anyway since it is Union County ? I feel like I am being charged twice for the same service.
#5 Sep 18, 2007
The more I think about it we would be paying 1.4 million for 12 officers and a sgt. Stallings has 20 officers at 1.7 million plus a department that is an asset to the town.
#6 Sep 18, 2007
I am not following your math. If we add just 6 officers for a total of 12 and a sgt. it will only cost us $991,518 total. It will cost us $65,121 for every officer we add. The $66k figure is what we are at now, averaging out the higher salary for the sgt. To be at the same level as Stallings,19 officers and 1 sgt. it would cost us $1,317,123 we would save $400K.
If we add our own department, we would have to pick up all the accident calls that the highway patrol currently picks up, which is around 80 a month, this would require about 7 officers just to work accidents.
You are right that the Sheriffs office would provide back up as needed.
We had one of our Sheriffs officers involved in an accident, he has been out for over a month. The Sheriffs department sent us a replacement, had we had our own department, we would just be one short.
Please take the time to listen to the Sheriff, he answers your question about what we get now versus what we would get with our own department.
We will pay taxes to the county, which covers the Sheriffs department, whether or not we have our own police force. Everyone in Union county pays the same county tax, the city rates are different.
#7 Sep 18, 2007
Having contract deputies means that they work only in Indian Trail. These 9 deputies are our police department, without the contract, the county would have 9 less positions. If we dropped the contract, it would slow response times and probably cause an increase in crime. Also, there would be a lot of pressure put on Indian Trail to do something about the crime rate.
Santa Clarita, California has a population over 175,000 and they still contract with the Los Angeles Sheriffs office. Santa Clarita is generally ranked in the top 25 safest cities in the US.
#8 Sep 20, 2007
I was at the town council meeting when Sheriff Cathey spoke. To be honest I had a few issues with it. He was to be at the meeting to give the council an update on what the sheriff has been doing in town ( He had not been there in over a year !)Which was part of why I was there I wanted to hear an actual report on the town. He instead took it upon himself to campaign for the Sheriff's department. I am always skeptical of anyone who has to keep telling me what a great deal I am getting. I found a lot of his facts and figures contradictory.
Let's be honest at the end of the day Sheriff Cathey is a politican and I felt that this speech rather than an update was no more than political posturing.
I really don't have enough information yet to say that we need our own police force. But I do believe it needs to be looked into by unbiased parties.
#9 Sep 21, 2007
This is a hot topic!!!!But lets face the facts,we are not getting what we pay for.Passing an alarm ord,(they will not respond with out a key holder,good news to the crooks,curfew ord,laws already in state statues to cover undisp.jvs,. The numbers are padded on calls,One time sheriff says 10,000 calls in Indian Trail,in paper it said 3400 county wide,You would be real surprised the money paid per officer,broken down its a joke,YOU DO NOT GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!!!
#10 Sep 21, 2007
I agree would like to see some true figures.
#11 Sep 21, 2007
Having contract with the sheriff does not mean that they only work for IT.The shift Lt.or Sgt. can send them anywhere they want,anytime they want.The contract is extra coverage only.If you take the 65,000,deduct guns radars,computers,uniforms,car, car repairs,office supplies,office equip, Each item is figured Every year per officer,but they dont get a car ,weapons,computers,or radars every year.The extra goes where?
#12 Sep 21, 2007
Tonight is a good example of why WE need our own police dept.A car rolled over on Monroe Rd,ejecting 1 person .With EMTs on scene working on 2 critically injured,they requested Monroe Rd to be closed,Indian Trail car on traffic stop at 485,next closest car was in east Monroe at hilltop,other towns dont have trouble getting traffic help for EMTs or firedept,Why should Indian Trail settle for seconds when they can have first,if its money,sell the land they just bought an start there own PD.Theres federal and state grants to help start,also they can apply for more every year.ONLY AFOOL SAYS WE DONT NEED OUR OWN POLICE,I know many others thats tired of paying for NOTHING!!
#13 Feb 17, 2008
Everyone needs to read the misleading article in the E-J today about the EXTRA services we are Getting,HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.Any town with or with out there PD,or contract officers get the Exact same services as we do.So what is the article trying to say?The WHOLE COUNTY and ALL towns get the same thing.
#14 Feb 18, 2008
You are starting to sound like that stupid Hugh Layburn! I don't want my taxes to go up just so we can have "a police department to call our own." Do we not have a good relationship with the Sheriff? Has the Sheriffs Dept. dropped the ball? Why specifically do we need our own police department? Please don't throw out that stupid population arguement. Has the police chief job for IT already been promised out to Stallings PD Chief Larke Plyler? Why the push?
#15 Feb 18, 2008
Hugh has a lot more common sence than some on the board.As far as chief,IHOPE NOT!!!Drop the ball, they cant even see it.You need to get a little taller ,your looking through Mud.
#16 Feb 18, 2008
So again I ask, what problems would we solve by having our own police department versus having the Sheriffs deputies in IT? What is the advantage? It would cost more, so what would be the added cost benefit?
#17 Feb 20, 2008
It appears you are with the DAIOIT,if you enjoy paying 75$ for a 5Cent wing nut,so be it.There are a lot more pro's than con's.Go to county finance dept.get a copy of the expense break down on each officer,{I have one}we could have 4 more with the waste.A past sheriff said No one should have to pay for extra coverage,you pay taxes like the rest of the county,besides it is the responsibility of the sheriff to provide EQUAL PROTECTION for ALL citizens,in towns or not.
#18 Feb 21, 2008
I checked the towns budget,and why is there no money [email protected],are they not as important as law enforcement?
#19 Feb 21, 2008
What is DAIOIT?
#20 Feb 21, 2008
Why are you calling Hugh Layburn stupid? Because you don't agree with him?

This light and refreshing salad is ideal for those days when you want a change from your typical bowl of mixed greens. Sweet and crisp sugar snap peas are the perfect companion to the slightly peppery radishes, lemony dressing and feta cheese. Scatter some fresh torn mint leaves over the salad just before serving. It's a beautiful side dish to serve at a small dinner gathering this summer.
I've been appreciating radishes more and more these days. They are especially good in salads or served on top of tuna tartare with avocado. A quick soak in ice water and the radish slices become delightfully crunchy.
Hydroponic watercress works very well in this salad because of its mild flavor, delicate leaves and stems. If you are on Maui, our local Whole Foods store regularly carries this item.
The sugar snap peas are blanched for 30 seconds then transferred to an ice bath. Once cool, they are sliced in half to reveal the tender peas within.
- Dressing
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt & pepper
- Salad
- ½ cup green peas, defrosted if frozen or blanched for a minute if using fresh
- ½ cup shelled edamame, boiled for 5 minutes, cooled in ice water
- 1 small bunch hydroponic watercress, washed and stems trimmed - optional
- 3 ounces sugar snap peas, blanched for 30 seconds, cooled in ice water and sliced in half lengthwise
- 2 small radishes, sliced very thin, soaked in ice water for 15 minutes
- 1 ounce crumbled feta
- handful of fresh mint leaves
- *Drain and place blanched and chilled vegetables on paper towels, carefully pat dry before using.
- Whisk together Dijon, honey, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. Dressing can be made a day in advance.
- In a medium wide salad bowl, gently mix together the green peas, edamame and watercress.
- Scatter sliced sugar snap peas and radishes over the top of the salad.
- Sprinkle salad with feta and fresh torn mint leaves (tear the mint leaves right before serving as they can turn brown if torn in advance).
- Drizzle salad with dressing just before serving.

Man stabbed in Aiea apartment
Man stabbed in Aiea apartment
AIEA, Hawaii (AP) — The Honolulu Police Department is investigating a stabbing that occurred in an apartment in Aiea.
A 58-year-old man was stabbed multiple times on Wednesday morning. He was taken to Queen's Medical Center in serious condition.
The stabbing occurred at Harbor Pointe Apartments in a unit that the couple owns and had lived in for only three weeks. Police recovered the weapon — a kitchen knife — and the woman was taken into custody.

New Report - Medical Errors Are Killing Us
At first the report reads like a gigantic typo - a new medical study says medical errors are killing 251,000 of us every year. That would make medical errors the third leading cause of death in the nation claiming almost 700 lives a day...more than respiratory disease, accidents, stroke and Alzheimer's.
The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine paints a frightening picture of health care in the US. The study points to everything from bad doctors to communications breakdowns when a patient may be moved from one department to another.
Here in Wisconsin, the problem is compounded by a legal system that favors the medical community at the expense of a patient's legal rights. Under Wisconsin law, it is almost impossible for a victim to go to court if they think they've been hurt by a medical mistake. You can click on this link to a WCLO-AM radio interview with former WAJ President, Dan Rottier, on why the study matters for Wisconsin.
If you are one-of-the-ten cases that ever get to court, be prepared for an uphill battle. Plaintiffs win about 10% of the cases. And if you did win, Wisconsin consistently ranks at the bottom in settlements.

I've been looking at various ways to allow a user to select one or more choices from a list of approximately 29-30 options. I've come up with the following four types, and wonder which is preferred/most usable. See http://workingstorage.com/multiple%20selection.png
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Here's how I would rank each option you have there, along with my reasoning:
Best: #2, if adjusted to break on year boundaries (i.e. always have a the full year in one column, so either have one year per column, or two, or whatever works out, but make sure that the user never has to move past the bottom of one column to find the next value for that year). This option will let users find the years they are interested in most quickly.
Second: #4. I'm tempted to put #3 here, because it seems more functional, but the illustration makes me wonder 1) if all the options are still available here and 2) if all users will understand what the four buttons do. Because of the confusion factor, I'm dropping #3 to last place. Which makes #4 second best, because it is cleaner than #1 (unless #1 happens to fit the rest of the design perfectly).
Third: #1 - by default.
Fourth: #3, save with the caveats presented above.

DEFINITION of 'Ripple'
A term used by "The Dow Theory" author, Robert Rhea, to describe the day-to-day fluctuations in stock market price activity. Rhea wrote that three simultaneous movements of stock prices occur that can be compared to tides, waves and ripples. The Dow Theory, published in 1932, indicated that speculators attempt to ride the tides and the occasional big waves, and that only reckless investors would ever attempt to profit by the day-to-day price changes or ripples.
BREAKING DOWN 'Ripple'
Many of today's technical and fundamental analysts encourage investors to ignore market ripples -the small changes in daily price movement -and instead focus on the longer-term tides and waves. Active traders, and in particular day traders and scalpers, try to exploit these short-term ripples for profit, often opening and closing a position within a matter of hours, minutes or even seconds. Despite Rhea's belief that this type of investing was reckless, it has become an established type of market participation.

Eddie Chambers puts the Heavyweights on blast
By Tommy Allan
Fast Eddie Chambers (36-2, 18 KOs) has today come out swinging at several contenders in the Heavyweight Division. Chambers who decisioned Derric Rossy last time out over 12 rounds in an IBF title eliminator seems to be growing frustrated at the lack of name opponents willing to step up to the plate.
The Philadelphia native had some less than kind words for fellow contenders Alexander Povetkin and Tomasz Adamek in particular.
Povetkin and Chambers fought a close contest back in 2008 which The Russian Olympic Champion edged, but since then it has been Chambers who has done more at the top of the sport with wins over the likes of Samuel Peter and current EBU Champion Alexander Dimitrenko.
Speaking today Fast Eddie had this to say -- Povetkin is ducking out of a rematch ..but the Ring Magazine still has him as the number three heavyweight. Its all politics, Adamak is another opponent who is scared to do any type of business in the ring with me. Besides the Klitchkos me and my bro Tony Thompson are the best Heavyweights. Let us get the second shot at the Klitchkos and you will see better results!
Tomasz Adamek is slated in to face WBC Champion Vitali Klitschko September 10th in Wroclaw Polland, while Alexander Povetkin looks likely to face Ruslan Chagaev for the WBA regular title some time late this year.

Eddie has absolutely NO business putting any HW on blast until he rids himself and the american boxing public of the image of him getting bent over the ropes, face down, with his ass in the air by Klitscko! PERIOD!

that said eddie shouldnt put anyone on blast til he stops quitting anytime he gets hit. how can he talk **** about povetkin? sasha ate his shots and when he returned fire chambers caved completely even though he dominated the fight.
adamek? lol.. dont even go there. adamek is several levels above fat eddie any way u look at it. chambers needs to shut the hell up, hes already the biggest joke in a joke of a divison and hes about to get pounded.. if he doesnt quit again that is.

Meanwhile… N.S.A. Spied on Allies, Aid Groups and Businesses : "Secret documents reveal more than 1,000 targets of American and British surveillance in recent years, including the office of an Israeli prime minister, heads of international aid organizations, foreign energy companies and a European Union official involved in antitrust battles with American technology businesses."

Welcome to the world of Skynet – Every Country Will Have Armed Drones Within Ten Years : "Virtually every country on Earth will be able to build or acquire drones capable of firing missiles within the next ten years.

3. U.S. businesses are being destroyed faster than they're being created : "The American economy is less entrepreneurial now than at any point in the last three decades. That's the conclusion of a new study out from the Brookings Institution, which looks at the rates of new business creation and destruction since 1978."
4. Americans now 'racist' for waving American flag : "What's wrong with these white people?

New Seakeeper gyro ups the ante on boat stability
by Denby Browning Imprint Media on 2 Aug 2011
Twin Disc (Pacific) Managing Director Glenn Frettingham (right) explains the improvements in the new Seakeeper M8000 gyro to Riviera's John Anderson. Twin Disc
The new Seakeeper M8000 gyro stabiliser is 'the most powerful unit on the market on a per-kilogram, per-cubic meter and per-kW basis,' according to Twin Disc's Glenn Frettingham.
The new unit was released by Twin Disc (Pacific) at the Sydney International Boat Show.
The spherical unit delivers 8,000 Newton meter seconds of righting force to stabilise any vessel up to 31.75 tonnes displacement.
Frettingham said the gyro's power comes from Seakeeper's newly-designed, high-strength, single-piece forged flywheel.
The new M8000 spins at 8,000 rpm in a near-vacuum to eliminate the significant negative effects of air drag. Spool-up time to stabilisation is 20 minutes and 35 minutes to rated rpm.
The new model, which replaces the successful M7000, was on display at the Riviera and Sunseeker on-water stands at the Show.
'The new M8000 is easier to install and requires less power to operate,' said Twin Disc (Pacific) Managing Director Glenn Frettingham.
'The gyro motor drive box is now pre-mounted on the unit and pre-wired at the factory, reducing installation labour and wiring. The M8000 is 14 percent more powerful and 44 percent quieter than the M7000A it replaces. The M8000's operating status and diagnostic information are accessed from the display panel and keypad mounted on the boat's bridge.
'Installation is simplified with a new pre-filled, self-purging coolant design.
'Built to last, with minimal required scheduled maintenance, the M8000 also features heavy-duty gimbal shafts and bearings, as well as cast-aluminum saddle beams.
'Unlike fin-based, roll stabilisation systems whose performance decreases sharply at less than cruising speed, the Seakeeper gyro stabiliser works equally well from zero to full speed,' said Mr Frettingham.
Riviera CEO John Anderson said the company is delighted to partner with Twin Disc in displaying the new gyro at the show.
'The Seakeeper has been a strong addition to our client offerings,' he said. 'This new model is easier to install in our boats because it is now a self-contained unit delivered direct from Twin Disc (Pacific).
'Our owners appreciate the fact the gyro works effectively whether the boat is at speed or at anchor or in their marina.
'The improvements in the M8000 will deliver better performance and lower maintenance.'
Mr Anderson said the company had recently installed a larger Seakeeper M21000 gyro in the latest of its flagship 70 Enclosed Flybridge boats.
Weighing only 525kg and measuring 922 mm long, 997 mm wide and 705 mm high, the compact M8000 gyro can be installed as a boat is being built or easily retrofitted into an existing vessel and does not necessarily need to be aligned with the fore/aft centreline of the hull.
'A Seakeeper gyro can be installed to the hull structure in the engine room, lazarette or anywhere aft of midship where there is a minimum area of 800(L)x977(W)x671(H)mm of available space,' said Mr Frettingham.
The unit requires 3KW to spool up and as little as 1kW to operate.
The Seakeeper gyro is actively controlled by state-of-the-art motion sensors and computer processors to optimise torque.

I plan on packing this quietness and wrapping it in a bow for Christmas—let the currents swirl around me and stay the inner course. Will I? Will you? If we both, will that decrease the piper's piping and let our swans a-swimming do so in their own peace?
This holiday, with calendars ending and concurrent thoughts beginning—perhaps the best thing to do is slow down.
Take one mistletoe at a time and kiss the present passionately.
"Know this Primal Power
that guides without forcing
that serves without seeking
that brings forth and sustains life
yet does not own it or possess it
One who holds this Power
brings the Tao to this very Earth
He can triumph over raging fire
or the freeze of winter rule
Yet when he comes to rule the world
it's with the gentleness of a feather."
~ Tao Te Ching

Kate Brenton, Ed.M., RYT, leapt from her home as an English teacher in Philadelphia with family, friends and students she adored to find her new home nested in the Pacific Island chain. Through her move to Kaua'i, she has learned that growing pains are necessary, lychees are amazing and that love comes to you when you surrender to it. Through her induction to Pa Ola Hawaii and adjustment to island living, Kate is committed to awakening the brilliance within through lomilomi, laughter and lattes. When all else fails she grabs her pup, Ahonui, and heads out on the trails. Excited to share what she has learned, is learning and will be forever learning, Kate makes bi-annual visits to the east coast for clients, workshops and satiating her pizza addiction.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Remember the old saying from Henry Ford, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right"?
Well I think you CAN, you can stop living reactively with money and start living the life you really want… confident and in control of your money.
BUT you do need to let go of what my friend and Master Coach Amy Pearson affectionately calls "The Fraud Factor."
