Use the power of creativity to positively transform individuals and communities.
Highly evolved and uniquely conceptualized, our pace-setting Master's, certificate, and doctoral programs in Expressive Therapies provide a meaningful connection between the arts, theory, and practice in clinical training. As one of the most recognized Expressive Therapies programs in the world, our students are expertly trained and qualified providers of mental health services.
One of the distinguishing features of Lesley's Expressive Therapies Programs is our commitment to exposing students to multiple arts modalities. Because we believe an understanding of all the arts in psychotherapy enriches all expressive therapists, we integrate visual arts, dance, drama, poetry, literature, and music into our core curriculum. You'll be well-prepared to utilize an integrated arts approach in clinical work.
When the Expressive Therapies program was founded in 1973, it was one of the first graduate programs in the country to train professionals in this emerging, creative, and vital field. More than 35 years later, the program continues to push the boundaries of expressive therapies knowledge and training. Our extraordinary faculty of artist-practitioner-scholars helps students to develop their identities as artists and clinical mental health providers.
The goal of the Expressive Therapies Program is to give students the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to practice in a range of professional settings, including health care facilities, schools, community agencies, and private practices. The Expressive Therapies 60-credit programs are designed to meet the academic and field training requirements for mental health counselor licensure in Massachusetts (students intending to work outside of Massachusetts should review their state's regulations to determine their eligibility for licensure). Our specialization tracks prepare graduates for certification by national and professional associations.
"It is more than 10 years since I have graduated the Expressive Therapy program at Lesley University. The learning environment at Lesley was a wonderful experience that made me start a Ph.D. program with Lesley, even though I live and work in Singapore. Knowing I am going for this journey with the support of Lesley makes me excited!"

Another small fire, started by someone welding, was reported Wednesday in Gypsum. That fire was also quickly extinguished.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it will revise the prescribing information for sitagliptin, a type 2 diabetes drug marketed as Januvia or Janumet when combined with metformin. The changes will note the incidence of acute pancreatitis in some patients who've taken the drug.
Sitagliptin is taken as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
About 88 cases of acute pancreatitis have been reported since sitagliptin was approved in 2006. About 20% of the cases occurred within a month of drug initiation, and about half of the cases resolved after the drug was discontinued. Sitagliptin has not yet been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis.
The FDA advises health care professionals to monitor patients who are taking the drug for signs of pancreatitis. Common symptoms are abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.Check out Health Bistro for more healthy food for thought. See what Lifescript editors are talking about and get the skinny on latest news.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
For those who are still following at home, this is what i ended up doing: Having heard that Sandbox still had some in stock gave me the confidence to get to work on my existing pads.
The stitching at the top of the earpads (right in the middle) is all that is holding the inner and outer layers together; cutting that allowed me to get enough of a gap to slide through some super thin on-ear earphones (https://www.audio-technica.co.jp/atj...hp?modelId=742). It would have required taking off the entire stitching in order to drop in anything much bigger than that, and it might end up putting a fair bit of pressure on your ears. As it is, these managed to fit on the outside of the padding, so i didnt lose any 'ear space'. These are wired headphones, so for now i just routed the wires under the fitment pads and out of the back of the helmet.
Sound is... Ok... These earphones are designed to be right up against your ear, and with the current configuration they are behind the padding and around 1cm from my ears. Its not super loud, and not much bass... BUT i can hold a conversation with the music going, and i can hear virtually everything around me, which is *exactly* what i wanted. I am now looking for a bluetooth adapter (like the Outdoor Technologies Adapt unit) to complete it all. Though i may just go with this as it is until next season when Sandbox releases the drop-in audio friendly pads.
Thanks, it turns out they do have some in stock... But now my dilemma is that they said they will also be dropping audio compatible earpads next season; that will work with existing helmets.
Damn. Do i wait to get a proper made audio earpad, or go custom now? (chances are if i do custom now, i wont want to spend more on proper ones down the track)
|Try emailing sandbox, Kev is an awesome guy and might have some samples or extras layin around. worth a try....
WTB: Sandbox classic ear pads
Just thought I would try to put this out there. Seems most people use their Sandbox helmets with beanies under them, and take off the earpads. So there might be a few spares lying around somewhere
I want to muck around and modify my sandbox earpads to take drop-in speakers, but would rather do it with the confidence that i have a spare set to go to if i fail.
Sandbox has them listed on their site at CAD$9.95, about USD$9, but they are out of stock. I'll pay USD$10 for them, plus postage to my buddy in Hawaii, or here to Japan depending on how much that will cost
Anybody got a spare set lying around?

The Canisius College men's basketball team wraps up its three-game road swing with a MAAC game at red-host Marist Monday night in the McCann Arena. Canisius is one of three undefeated teams in the MAAC, while Marist enters the game riding a four-game winning streak.
• Canisius closes out its three-game road swing tonight when the Golden Griffins take on Marist in the McCann Arena. The Golden Griffins come into this game tonight with a 3-4 record on the road in 2013-14.
• The Griffs are coming off a 67-63 win at Saint Peter's on Saturday afternoon. Canisius led the game by as many as 24 points in the first half, but the Blue and Gold withstood a comeback attempt by the Peacocks to end up taking the regular-season series from Saint Peter's.
• The Griffs come into tonight's game with an 9-5 overall record and a 3-0 mark in MAAC play. This marks the second time Canisius has started league play 3-0, with the other occasion coming in the 1994-95 campaign. That year, Canisius opened MAAC play with a 5-0 mark.
• Canisius starts this game tonight averaging 80.7 points per game through three MAAC games. The Griffs hold a scoring margin of plus-11.3 in conference games.
• Canisius senior Billy Baron scored a team-high 25 points in the Griffs' win over Saint Peter's Saturday. Baron has scored 20 or more points nine times this season and 24 times in his college career.
• Canisius freshman Zach Lewis made two 3-pointers in the win over Saint Peter's on Saturday, his fourth-straight game where he's hit two treys in a game. His second 3-pointer came with 15 seconds left in regulation time to seal the win for the Blue and Gold.
• Marist comes into tonight's game with a 4-9 record and a 1-2 mark in MAAC play. The Red Foxes have won four straight after defeating Fairfield 75-56 Jan. 2, in the McCann Arena.
• Junior Chavaughn Lewis leads the Red Foxes with his 16.5 points per game scoring average. That ranks seventh in the MAAC.
• Senior Adam Kemp is pulling down 7.3 rebounds per game for Marist, which ranks sixth in the league. He also ranks second in the MAAC with his 2.0 blocks per contest.
• As a team, Marist is averaging 62.7 points per game, which ranks 10th in the conference, but in the team's current four-game winning streak, the Red Foxes are averaging 72.3 points per game.
• The first half has been key to Marist's recent four-game winning streak, as the Red Foxes are out scoring their last four opponents by a combined score of 153-89 in the game's first 20 minutes.
• This will be the 38th all-time meeting between Canisius and Marist, with the Golden Griffins holding a 22-15 advantage in the series.
• The Griffs have won nine of the last 12 games between these two programs, dating back to 2008-09.
• Canisius beat Marist in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., last season by the score of 94-82 to even the series in the McCann Arena at 8-8 all-time.
• These two schools did not play until Marist joined the MAAC prior to the 1997-98 season.

The Ibis Tranny may look like a simple yet beautiful carbon fiber hardtail but look closer and you will see so much more. The Tranny is one of the most versatile frames that has ever been produced – easily switching between geared and singlespeed and travelbike guises. Being made of high modulus carbon the Tranny is of course lightweight but we think you will agree that a frame weight of around 3.1 lbs is pretty special, especially considering how strong it is!
Stiff, light, tough, geared, singlespeed, travelbike – a Tranny can do it all.

Looks like I'll be treating myself with a trip to the land of the Kiwis this June or July. I just have to wait for my summer work schedule to be published. I was thinking of a 8 day trip with 2-3 days or possibly more of duck hunting primarily for grey ducks, spoonies and paradise ducks. I wouldn't be opposed to helping to thin out the mallard and canada goose population.
Are there any guides that are highly recommended for the NZ native species besides the few that come up on a Google search? I'm not much for a volume shoot, more for the collection with those. I have not heard if the North Island is better than the South or vice versa.
Any help planning would be appreciated. It'll be quite the journey from the Great White North!

Ok, I've searched and search, but can't find what I'm looking for.
Can someone post some good clear pictures of the ESB gauntlets? I'm looking for all angles, so anything would be helpful. I've found some on people, but I can't find good shots of all the greeblies, wires, darts, etc... I'm interested in the colors, placement of greeblies, weathering, etc...
It seems there are TONS of ROTJ gauntlets out there, but ESB are tough to find.

Jenelle and David were married on at Juliette Chapel & Events in Dahlonega, Ga. on March 28. "We wanted something that our family from Michigan would never see up north," Jenelle said. "The Juliette Chapel & Events was right in the middle of a beautiful mountain town, full of charm and personality. When we pulled up and saw that we would have room for both an outdoor and indoor setting, we got this overwhelming feeling of a romantic yet rustic atmosphere." The bride wore a strapless lace fit 'n' flare wedding gown, accessorized with a jeweled sash, while the groom wore a three-piece gray suit, accessorized with a black tie. Bridesmaids wore long gray chiffon dresses and carried bouquets of roses. "The days leading up to the wedding the forecast was grim and expected to rain all day, which it pretty much did," she said. "But I look back and think about how fun we had, between standing with my bridesmaids with their purple umbrellas and funny poses to walking across the patio with my husband to take pictures under our clear umbrella, it was perfect." Following the intimate ceremony, 85 guests found their seats via vintage key escort cards. Tables were decorated with white linens, hydrangea centerpieces, votive candles, and mint favor bags. The newlyweds' favorite detail? "Our cake was AMAZING!" Jenelle said. "It was literally the best cake I have ever had. Our decorator surprised David with a groom's cake and catered to my gluten-free/dairy-free needs."

Oregon History: Uncle Sam's Handiwork
Statehood meant that Oregonians had two senators and a representative to make their case in Congress. The congressional delegation delivered. Some argued it was critical to open communications across the new state. The Republican Party was not of a mind to continue projects wholly in the control and labor of federal employees. Its philosophy was to throw as much action as possible into the private sector. Thus between 1865 and 1869 Congress liberally awarded land grants to the State of Oregon to pass on to companies constructing "military wagon roads." Theoretically the routes were to link strategic locations suitable for use by troops during emergencies.
The new roads were the Oregon Central, Corvallis-Yaquina Bay, Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain, The Dalles-Boise, and the Coos Bay. Two provided routes from Willamette Valley points in Albany and Springfield eastward to Boise. A third connected The Dalles via the John Day watershed to Boise. Two ran toward the coast: one from Albany to Yaquina City and another from Roseburg to Coos Bay. Under the terms of the grants, as soon as a company had completed a stretch of road, it could apply to the governor for certification of its success. The governor or his designated official would visit the route. If the road was deemed suitable for wagon use, the company then received three square miles of land for every mile of road. The tally for the five roads ran into millions of acres.
Land-grant wagon roads were founded on speculation and fraud. None of the companies had the experience, capital, or leadership to build satisfactory routes through such challenging terrain. They cleared and carved out traces, leaving many streams unbridged and routes subject to slides and frequent closures. The Oregon Central Military Wagon Road Company was unblushing in its scam. When its surveyors reached the Cascade summit, rather than heading east toward Boise, they swept south through the upper Deschutes and into the Klamath Reservation, cutting a swath of checkerboard lands out of the lush meadows along the Williamson and Sprague Rivers. They moved on toward Goose Lake into Guano Valley, then over the southern slopes of Steens Mountain into the Pueblo Valley before turning northeasterly toward Boise. Their meandering route captured tens of thousands of acres of prime grazing land, dismembered the Klamath Reservation, and ensured a much larger grant than if they had surveyed a route directly toward Idaho.
Wagon road companies locked up land for years. The General Land Office held hundreds of thousands of acres of unclaimed grants. As long as the company or its successor purchasers did not take title, they did not have to pay taxes. The longer they waited, the greater the appreciation of value in timber, minerals, or grazing. By avoiding paying taxes and letting land values increase, the companies--or those who bought them to speculate in the grants--calculated a better return. Further, the companies did not maintain the roads yet dared to demand tolls from travelers. Lamentations of local residents who lived in the alternate sections along the routes finally compelled Congress to investigate and the courts to take back the remaining portions of the grants.
Among the loudest critics of the wagon road companies were land seekers. In the Homestead Act (1862), Congress gave the land-hungry an unparalleled opportunity. For a modest filing fee, five years of residency, and claim improvements, homesteaders could receive as much as 160 acres of the public domain for free. Congress became increasingly generous in giving away federal lands. It passed bounty land acts for veterans of wars, the Desert Land Act (1877), Enlarged Homestead Act (1909), and Stock Raising Homestead Act (1916). Shrewd speculators might accumulate hundreds of acres by working the system. Between 1850 and 1940, millions of acres in Oregon passed from public to private ownership through the land distribution acts promoted by developers of the American West.
Congressional action shaped Oregon in other areas. The coast was a dangerous place where strong winds buffeted the shore. Narrow channels led over fluctuating bars into the estuaries. The headlands were remote, hulking forms on the eastern landscape. Mariners desperately needed services. The bar of the Columbia gained a reputation as the "graveyard of the Pacific." Boats foundered, grounded, and smashed on rocky headlands, taking hundreds of lives. The U.S. Coast Survey continued to chart the estuaries and compile information in the Coast Pilot, an annual publication with data on landmarks, rocks, buoys, and anchorages. The U.S. Light-House Board was called upon to provide more assistance.
On a case-by-case basis Congress appropriated funds for design and construction of important facilities. These included lighthouses: Cape Arago (1866), Cape Blanco (1870), Yaquina Bay (1872), Cape Foulweather (1873), Point Adams (1875), Tillamook Rock (1881), Warrior Rock (1888) at the mouth of the Willamette River, Cape Meares (1890), Umpqua River, Heceta Head, Coquille River (all 1894), and Desdemona Sands (1905). The goal was to create a system of stations with interlocking lights. On a clear night at sea, a mariner might expect to sight at any point a distinctive beacon on shore to pinpoint the location. Fog signals powered by steam engines blasted warnings from a number of the stations to tell captains to drop anchor or beat a retreat until the mists cleared.
In 1892 an appropriation of $60,000 funded construction of Columbia River Lightship No. 50. Anchored off the treacherous bar of the Columbia, the lightship had a lonely crew of eight who, for decades, kept watch, maintained kerosene lights, and fed coal into boilers to power a massive fog signal. Their wave-tossed perch with booming horn drew hardy men who, like those at remote lighthouses, endured modest pay and isolation.
Congress also funded construction of stations and staffing for the U.S. Life-Saving Service. The first station opened in 1878 at the Cape Arago Lighthouse near the entrance to Coos Bay. Numerous shipwrecks and loss of life associated with the export of coal and lumber from the harbor brought federal action. The small building had a surfboat and one oarsman. Launching the craft and rowing to a vessel in distress depended upon volunteers. By the end of the 19th century the U.S. Life-Saving Service had stations at Warrenton, Tillamook Bay, Yaquina Bay, Coos Bay, and the Umpqua and Coquille Rivers. Each had crew quarters, a boat house, and a practice mast for breeches-buoy drill. In the early 20th century the USLSS erected stations at Port Orford and Siuslaw River.
In the 1870s the U.S. Geological Survey began work in Oregon. John Evans, U.S. Geologist for Oregon Territory, had mounted initial surveys of mining areas in 1855-56. In the final three decades of the 19th century the agency inaugurated studies of mining districts to assess coal and gold deposits. Its skilled cartographers also commenced topographic mapping in conjunction with the U.S. Geodetic Survey. These maps, revised at 20-to-30 year intervals in the 20th century, gave form to the land. They provided vital information on roads, settlements, and terrain. In the 1890s the USGS performed a remarkable service. Its employees mounted the first comprehensive assessment of forests in the state. They estimated standing volumes of hardwoods and softwoods, mapped areas ravaged by forest fires, photographed the terrain, and published technical reports on forest conditions and grazing impacts.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs by 1856 had embarked on its mission to attempt to transform Indian tribes into the mainstream culture in one generation. It founded its work upon an agrarian economy regardless of the terrain, elevation, or traditional subsistence patterns of the tribes. Oregon's reservations were Siletz, Grand Ronde, Warm Springs, Umatilla, Klamath, and Malheur. The tribes retained but a fraction of their aboriginal lands. The Nez Perce, whose 1855 treaty reserved their aboriginal lands in northeastern Oregon, were beset by trespassers who, in 1877, provoked the Nez Perce War and the exodus of Chief Joseph's band. These Indians orchestrated a brilliant retreat through the Pacific Northwest, for months eluding the U.S. Army. When they finally surrendered, the government confined them first in Oklahoma and after 1885 on the Colville Reservation in Washington.
Indian agents, subagents, farmers, teachers, and doctors--all in the employ of the federal government--mounted the programs. They created farms and insisted, in spite of the weather, that Indians raise wheat in the boggy soil along the Oregon coast. Hundreds died in this ill-fated experiment. They also attempted to compel the Klamath and Warm Springs tribes to become farmers. The setting for their farms was amenable to gathering root crops or berries but not to cereal or vegetable crop production. Terrible hardship ensued.
In 1879, Lt. Melville C. Wilkinson of the U.S. Army opened the Indian Training School in Forest Grove, on four acres of land rented from Pacific University. $5,000 was provided to start the school. Wilkinson, with the help of eight Puyallup Indian boys began construction on the buildings in 1880. The initial class of students consisted of fourteen boys and four girls. All the students came from the State of Washington, seventeen of them from the Puyallup Reservation on the Puget Sound and one boy from the Nisqually Reservation. These students were taught blacksmithing, shoemaking, carpentering, wagon making, girl's industries and advancement in studies. The local community did not support expansion of the campus. So Henry J. Minthorn, the second superintendent of the school, considered three sites for a new school. Newberg offered 100 acres of heavily timbered land, Forest Grove offered 23 acres with a pasture parcel of 75 acres approximately four miles away from the main site, and Salem offered 171 partially cleared, sparsely timbered land north of town. He chose the Salem site since it was close to the State Capital and had the most acreage, and in 1885, moved the school, changing its name to Chemawa Indian School.
In 1887 the General Allotment Act launched a major assault on tribalism. The law, extended over the next few years to Oregon reservations, provided for dividing up the tribal estate into individual allotments of 80 to 160 acres. The plan was for each Indian to receive a tract, farm it, transform in lifeways, master English and, after the passage of 25 years, gain certification as "competent." The Indian then became a citizen of the United States, received title to the allotment, and could pay taxes on the land! The program fostered a dramatic loss in Indian lands and created a nightmare of checkerboard ownerships within reservations.
The Army Corps of Engineers was also on duty in 19th century Oregon. Its employees mounted river navigability studies on the Columbia, Umpqua, and Willamette and planned dredging and jetty projects at several estuaries. These men charted the rivers, designed improvements and, with federal appropriations, oversaw blasting of rocks and reefs. Between 1878 and 1896 the Corps of Engineers supervised the region's most expensive "pork barrel" project--construction of the massive bypass canal and locks at the Cascades of the Columbia. The Corps also constructed the Yamhill River Locks (1900) and, starting in 1888, initiated jetty projects at Coquille River, Coos Bay, Siuslaw River, Yaquina Bay, and Columbia River. By 1920 the Corps of Engineers had spent $4.7 million on river and harbor projects; local contributions added nearly a fifth more when required by legislation. The flow of federal dollars was an immense benefit to Oregonians, for the state did not have the resources to fund such large-scale projects.
Uncle Sam delivered. Federal projects included land grants for wagon roads, homesteads, and war veterans. Congress paid for soldiers to fight Indians, personnel to manage reservations, funds to build and staff lighthouses and lifesaving stations, operation of postal routes, post offices, the federal court system, customs houses, the General Land Office, mapping and mineral assessments by the U.S. Geological Survey, and updating of navigational information by the U.S. Coast Survey. Uncle Sam was a key player in a state populated by farmers, stockraisers, fishers, miners, loggers and sawmill workers, and small-town business people.

The Better Than Sugar AND Tastes Good
Reviewer1994798发表于 6月 26, 2008 | 已验证购买
Yacon Root syrup is great! David Wolfe (Raw Food demi-god) talked about it recently so I decided to try it. It's NON-glycemic! So it's actually good for hypoglycemics and diabetics. It tastes good like a sweet molasses and can be used in tea (or coffee) and doesn't alter the taste in a bad way like Stevia. If you're a sugar addict then nothing will replace the white drug but if you like natural, healthy, sweet stuff like fruit, yams, honey etc then Yacon Root syrup is a Great choice! I really really hope they come out with a pourable version with a spout. Scooping it out is very messy, gets on the side of the bottle so you have to wipe it up or you'll have ants.
Like the flavour

I havnt used it much yet but I like the taste!! looking forward to make healthy gluten free muffins/scones with them for my kids and to use it on buckwheat pancakes, mm :)
I could eat this right out of the jar

Good and helps control glucose sugar levels. Being diabetic, that is very important. This and Stevia are great for diabetic sweetening.
excellent but expensive
Reviewer2114231发表于 1月 15, 2010 | 已验证购买
Yacon is a super-food, and this is a particularly good quality product. It is expensive, so larger volume jars at a better price would be a good option.
Great product - great price

I use this syrup with Lucuma Powder to make raw ice cream. It is just the right sweetness and flavor.
Simply amazing!

I used this syrup in place of molasses for a pumpkin pie recipe I found and the end result was heavenly. Navitas Naturals Raw Yacon Syrup gave the pie the molasses taste without the bad effects of sugar. I can't praise this product enough. Use with confidence whenever molasses is needed in your favorite recipes.

Yacon syrup tastes great with just about everything. Good (in moderation) for my husband who is prediabetic. My favorite drink: coffee, vanilla hemp milk and yacon syrup. Better than an expensive frapucchino from Starbucks!

Arsène Wenger insists the FA Cup is a major priority for him this season.
Wenger is the only Arsenal manager to have won the competition more than once, having guided his team to four triumphs in his 15-year tenure.
Aston Villa are Arsenal's fourth-round opponents at Emirates Stadium on Sunday and the Frenchman says his desire to lift the trophy remains as fierce as ever.
"If you look at my record, you will see the FA Cup is important for me," he said. "If you look at the record of all the other teams, I think our record is better than all of them over the past 15 years.
"Even last year we went for four trophies. How many teams go for four trophies this season? Nobody.
"I think we always try to go for everything and for a long, long time last year we went for trophies late in the season. Still we will try to do the same and try to win the FA Cup [this year]."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I'll make it easier, I'll add in a few models and take the event out
Prout Quest 31
Prout Quest 33
Prout Snowgoose 34
Prout Snowgoose 35
Any feedback / comparison would be appreciated, also if you prefer one specific one out of these, tell us why
I do understand from previous feedback that the Snowgooses have a big tendency to hobbyhorse, is this also true for the Quest ?
I was pointed out to a Proto Erector 34 catamaran listed at 32000 Euro, as you can see the ad does not list much, neither are there any pictures...
I have contacted the owners and have obtained some pics, here are two of them :
This will not be a cruising cat for us....
If anybody is interested, I can forward all the pictures... (no interior pics)
|I nominate it for a giant plant holder!
|Star Trek shuttle? Is that a monohull or catamaran?
Another Aristocat
Hi all !
If someone is up to a major project (too much for me to handle) ...
I have found another Aristocat for sale in France.
As far as I understand it is an unfinished project which has been abandoned some time ago...
Transoms extended by 3 ft and 2 Yanmar 1GM10 engines on saildrives have been installed, boards have been replaced by keels and it has a raised cabintop. The interior is almost empty. Rudders not fixed on the new transoms, engine conducts to install (fuel lines, cooling water, exhaust, ...)
The owner has a recent (French) survey report available. (I have recieved a copy) The surveyor made an estimate on the value of the boat, this is way too high !!! Therefore the current asking price is way too high too as the seller will find out should someone interested show up...
If interested, send me a PM, I can forward the survey report and the seller's details, if required I can translate...
But expect a lot of work on this one...
Another boat missing in this thread ...
The Aristocat... This is an old ad of one already sold but it has good pictures...
It certainly looks like it is a low budget Cat with cruising capabilities...
Not sure about slapping / bridgedeck height (as they are related somewhere with the Gemini's?)...
One negative point I find is the very narrow passage forward, even obstructed by the boards... (but some were built with keels)
I love the big sliding hatch (maybe because I have one on my own boat )
Has anyone been on one ?
Can you comment on sailing capabilities?
I read they are quite good performers.
We would like to have a look at one to make up our own mind on the designs so if someone happens to know one that would be for sale we would like to hear from it...
I know there is one listed for sale with a custom dog house but the brokers are not up to date, I have already been in direct contact with the owner...
|Unfortunately, a few bad apples spoil the bunch. Hope you have better experiences going forward.
Ocean Winds 33
Hi guys !
This thread seems to die when I'm not around, we spent some time visiting hospitals and doctors ...
Then we saw an ad for a 33ft Ocean Winds Catamaran, listed at 45000Euro ...
By the ad we were led to believe the boat was in reasonable condition, It had recieved two brand new engines two years ago, it had just been out of the water for an antifouling, the deck had been repainted etc...
So off we went, booked a week in Sardinia to go and see the boat...
Where we saw the boat was in terrible shape !!!
Yes it did have new engines, only 3.5 hours, started by the owner without even checking the oil levels (and the boat had not left its mooring for ages)
Yes the deck had been repainted but without anti-skid (plain dangerous, extremely slippery when wet) so obviously the deck needed another repainting with anti-skid...
We went for a test-sail...
No wind instruments operational, display broken...
No boat speed on the log... Depth OK
The owner did not even know how to power up the compass (which seemed to function)
Autopilot not operational
radio non operational
Impossible to fully hoist the main sail (mast slide issue ?)
running rigging in terrible condition requires replacement
problems furling and unfurling the genoa
3 of the 4 deck selftailing winches were not operational, very old winches (Telo 160, 200 and 220) who will need replacement (the working one was already a newer winch, Lewmar 16, too small for this boat, main halyard winch is on the mast)
Sails in bad condition, they had been left on boom and forestay for 4 years instead of being taken of and stored inside... Genoa needed restitching, main maybe too but both sails required a big cleaning job...
Although the rigging had been replaced 4 years ago the attachments to the chainplates requires attention
Owner not aware how the GPS operates, I had my own GPS with me...
When we returned the owner gave me the keys so I could inspect the boat at my own pace.
Fuel smell inside the boat, port fuel tanks were sitting in diesel and apparently already since a long time (fuel hoses, repainting of bilge and fuel tanks
The boat needs a full electric rewiring, household wiring had been used, contacts corroded, log on nav station completely disconnected...
No separate house batteries installed (removed when the new engines were installed)
solar panels not operational
The rudder on starboard side was cracked (for how long?) and requires a big job done...
When we looked at the engines, they obviously looked nice but under the port engine there was water after the test sail, not before ! Where is the leak ???
The fridge not operational on 12V, not operational on gas, mains not tested...
Water gas heater burns, impossible to change the temperature setting.
All rubber gas hoses to be replaced.
Owner was unable to tell us how to light the oven so we don't know if this was functional (guess it's OK)
Owner was unable to explain how to operate the holding tank, head set to 'sea' position and I could not move it to the holding tank position (maybe by trying harder) so I guess these vanes require replacement, how to empty the holding tank ?
Windlass requires overhaul...
and so on...
Needless to say we were not so happy... Owner told us not to deduct all the repair costs from the asking price...
While we were in the harbour the boat got hit by a cowboy in a motor boat !!! We informed the owner who came to the boat and repaired the bow with a gelcoat repair kit left there by the previous owner, without proper cleaning/degreasing etc... We were astonished by his attitude, there were two witnesses on board of his boat when this happened and still he just did a quick and dirty fix...
Anyway, we left home and started to search for repair estimates, certainly a lot of work but might do a lot ourselves trying to keep the price down. (my wife really loved the layout of the boat and that counts)
We then got a message from the owner to look at the ad, he dropped the asking price by 20.000 so was now asking 25.000 for the boat.
We thought this was a reasonable price and replied asking him if he would reserve the boat while we arranged for a survey, we stated we would pay the asking price if the structure was sound (no delamination or osmosis)...
We kept on exchanging some messages and he even proposed himself to phone the yard to provide me a quote.
By today I agreed with a surveyor I would give him a job. We needed to schedule a hauling with a shipyard.
And I now just got an e-mail stating the boat has been sold
I sincerely hope that whoever is buying Atreyu, a 1980 Ocean Winds 33 will read this post so they know the boat they bought is NOT seaworthy and is a lot of time and money away from being so... Whoever this is, feel free to contact me !
The owner has proven he can not be trusted so there might even be a lot more issues than what I already found, after all, I'm not a surveyor...
Needless to say we are really disappointed ...
It was not for now...
The right boat will come ...
I ran across your thread and thought I should comment on the Polycon cat so you will have a better understanding of these boats.
Polynesian Concept Catamarans was founded by actor Buddy Ebsen at the beginning of the 70s
The Polycon 37 was an enlarged and somewhat reworked development of Buddy's original 35' Polynesian Concept that won the multihull class on corrected time in the 1968 TransPac. She also smashed the Isle Of Whyte course record the following year. she was old-school cold-molded, built over a male destructive, just like Ken Murphey's Aikani, or Jim Arness' Seasmoke
Polycons are a C/S/K design, principally Rudy Choy, and the only one of his designs having symmetrical hulls. Warren Seamen, creator of the Malibu Cat, who along with Alfred Kumalai had built Polynesian Concept, did some of the engineering and Schock boats built the female tooling and the first 6 boats. These boats had internal spade rudders, polyester resin, and lower quality coring materials than the boats that came after, but were still ok as they were hand-laid by experienced crews. The boat you showed for $55,000 early in the thread, is a Schock-built Polycon. It has been butchered by adding those two heavy, smelly lumps of iron to each hull, and the drag of two props attached to them rendering it useless as a beach cat - what a waste!
There were an additional 6 boats built in Santa Ana, California in a facility Buddy leased. The glass team was lead by Englishman Jack Holmes - an absolute expert in hand layup. These boats were not all completed on site. A
few were delivered as partially completed 'kits' , though all the critical work was still done in-shop.
I own Invictus , she is hull #10, and has externally-hung high-aspect rudders. She is essentially a 37'6" 6,000lb beach cat, with 2 heads, a galley, and can support a racing crew of 7, or week-long cruses with 4.
Hull is hand-laid glass over Airex PVC core & vinylester resin, and she has African mahogany in her keels to strengthen her for regular beaching. Daggerboards are laminated African mahogany and Shagbark Hickory, with Triax carbon skins.
Internal elemental structures are the same as with all C/S/Ks - 4 hollow-core laminated marine plywood/cedar bulkheads paired into 2 'super-boxes' - Resorcinol glue and bronze ship-nails are used in the assembly of the wood structures, which are then glassed into place. Even by todays standards, this makes a very light, rigid structure.
Contrary to some assumptions made elsewhere in this thread, these are blue-water performance boats. They come from a design heritage that began with the lovely Manu Kai - built right on Waikiki beach in 1947. She survived 48 years of beach charter work in the open waters there, and the C/S/K boats that followed her set every open Pacific course record there was, as well as a double-handed round the world record.
The Polycons have high bridgedeck clearance so they don't pound in a seaway like modern cruising cats do. They have plenty of reserve buoyancy in their bows, and narrow/fine hull profiles with plenty of rocker along the keel line. These are classic Pacific Voyaging Canoe features that adapt the boats well to big wave motion.
Having said all this, now for the down side . . . every boat is a trade off. Polycons are not beginner boats if you intend to push them. They don't have the beam, weight, and frac rig of the modern behemoth cruising cats, so they can become a real handful to the uninitiated in moderate to heavy air. You have to think way ahead. They accelerate like a squid, and can easily be pushed to reckless speeds. If you overtake waves to quickly with apparent wind behind your ears, sooner or later you will boneyard the boat. Stabbing the bows of a 37' cat through the back of a large wave at 18-20 knots is just begging for trouble. The other thing is weight. They don't like it. If you must take potted palms, bicycles and the dumbell set aboard with you, the Polycon is not the boat. And lastly, the space issue; These boats could accurately be classified as 'sportboats' before there was ever such a classification - Basic amenities without performance compromise. By todays cat standards, this is more like a 32' boat that a 37' boat below. There is ample headroom, but forget about the 4 double staterooms. That only comes with chubby hulls and 4-5 times the weight.
Other trivia -
Polycons were designed for single auxiliary 35hp XX-longshaft outboard, or a small single fixed engine with retracting drive leg. These are placed below the center of the cockpit, under a hatch. The fuel was also down in the fresh air under the bridgedeck in a protected alcove. There is no fuel or machinery inside the boat or cockpit.
Under auxiliary power, my boat with 45hp Honda & hydrodynamic extension cruises at 12 knots and has a top speed in calm water of 16 knots. Between 4and 9 knots, the engine cannot be heard, nor is there any perceptible vibration below.
Old war stories -
Invictus finished 2nd behind bob Hanel's 63' catamaran Double Bullet in the 1979 Newport To Ensenada Race. There were almost 600 boats in the fleet.
I am aware of three TransPac races that included Polycons, and one made the California-Hawaii crossing 4 times.
This is a good boat for:
A couple that is physically fit, and grew up racing beach cats or one-design dinghies.
Local races, Pacific passage Races.
3-10 day cruises for two couples or a couple with 1-2 kids.
People who want to experience what 'Jed Clampit', Marshall Dillon, and their Hawaiian surfer buddies were so excited about.
Best of luck on finding your perfect boat - I've found mine.

Will try to give my feedback about the boat...
The boat pictures I got from the owner do not represent the current state at all, as far as I am concerned this one requires a major overhaul...
I guess the pictures are a bit dated...
I also believe it has been pushed hard as the owner told me they only reefed in a gale ("I sailed her without reef up to 7 Bft")...
I don't know what Richard recommendations are but not reefing in a near gale sounds to me as pushing the boat...
Too bad, it was well withing budget reach...

|A 1800 isnt that large. I would paint the underside frist then put in the running gear. You can bag it good and keep most of the overspray off it when you paint the rest of the car. You may want to look at a tintable bed liner for the underside and fire wall.
Ahhhh, the age old question. This is really one only you can answer, how far do you want to go and are you up to the task? It is way less nerve racking to put the drive train in first and not have to worry about that fresh paint on the outside. But the biggest pain is keeping it from getting overspray all over it. You most certainly want the outside completely finished, blocked, ready for a quick sand and paint. But even then it is very difficult to keep that undercarriage free of overspray and sanding dust. But realistically it's the best way to go unless you are making an out and out show car. You can keep it perfectly clean as you do the outside but it's another bit of work to add to the project.
But assembling it all painted isn't out of the question in the least bit.
You won't be painting the underside and the top side at the same time anyway (that is a HUGE undertaking shooting them both at once) so doing the underside then putting the drive train in makes a lot of sense on your typical build.
When to install running gear vs. paint
Hi all: I'm restoring a '64 Volvo 1800. It's on the rotisserie, blasted and primered and I'm currently finishing up the last of the metal work in preparation for mud and painting.
Question: should I shoot the finish coat on the underside and engine bay first and install the running gear? Or should I shoot the whole car and install everything afterward?
I'm thinking the former, as I wouldn't have to worry as much about nicking a fresh finish on the top side during assembly plus it would be easier to move around.
Any thoughts?

Springfield, Ohio – A political advocate of job creation and education, Matthew Shay, Wittenberg University class of 1984, will present the keynote address during Wittenberg's 168th Commencement Exercises on Saturday, May 11.
As president and CEO of the National Retail Federation (NRF), Shay leads the world's largest retail trade association and serves as chief spokesman for an industry that includes more than 3.6 million establishments in the United States, supports 42 million U.S. jobs and contributes $2.5 trillion to annual gross domestic product. NRF embodies the international footprint of retailing by representing retailers and industry partners spanning 45 nations.
During his tenure, Shay spearheaded a new strategic plan for NRF, focusing on advocacy, communications and education in an effort to provide substantial resources to government relations activities on behalf of the industry. The plan was established with a vision of strengthening what the retail industry is capable of and increasing its voice on Capitol Hill. Under his leadership, NRF has advocated to limit debit and credit card swipe fees, convince Congress to approve more free trade agreements and achieve sales tax fairness between online and brick-and-mortar retailers.
Prior to his appointment with NRF, Shay served as president and CEO of the International Franchise Association, where he represented more than 1,200 franchise companies in the retail sector and beyond. He has been recognized by CEO Update as one of the top 50 non-profit chief executives in Washington, D.C., and is a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Association Committee of 100.
"It is with great honor and pride that we asked Mr. Shay to address Wittenberg's graduating class of 2013," said Aaron Long, president of the Class of 2013. "As a truly impactful community, national and international member, Mr. Shay speaks for all citizens when stressing the importance of education and how his organization creates and sustains jobs. His vitality for continued economic growth and innovation with respect to consumer affairs does not go unrecognized. Speaking on behalf of our class, we are eager to welcome Mr. Shay back to Wittenberg University as a highly respected alumnus."
Shay earned his bachelor's degree in political science in 1984. He went on to earn a Juris Doctorate from The Ohio State University College of Law in 1987 and a master's degree in business administration from Georgetown University McDonough School of Business in 2011. Shay will be awarded an honorary degree of Humane Letters during Wittenberg's Commencement ceremony.

Yall bare with me, I'm confusing myself. About 3 days ago I added the second brood box to my 3+ week old package. I had been feeding them sugar water (as of today I stopped) so they pretty much filled the first one up. The next time I read someone says to place it on the bottom because they build down :? Does it really matter?
You definitely want to put the new brood box on the top. They will draw out the comb just fine. Also, the queen will have a tendency to crawl up into the upper hive body. When a majority of the brood is in the upper hive body, reverse the boxes.And it is good you stopped feeding them. Sounds like they're doing fine!
Sterling, switching the boxes is following their nature, especially if you want to enhance brood rearing.
More honey sugar water than brood.
Finnski nailed it. Take a couple of the trash sugar water frames out
. Out of 8 frames only 1- one had almost nothing 2-. One was pretty much sugar water, 3 -one was pretty much sugar water with just a few brood looking cells. 4-8 Two or three were 70 to 80% covered with brood - honey/pollen around the outside of brood. The others were 50, 60, maybe 70% brood with sugar water/pollen surrounding the brood.

Council of Europe: Reports on racism in Azerbaijan, Finland, Ireland and Monaco
Strasbourg, 24.05.2007 – The Council of Europe's expert body on combating racism, the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), today released four new reports examining racism, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in Azerbaijan, Finland, Ireland and Monaco. ECRI recognises that positive developments have occurred in all four of these Council of Europe member countries. At the same time, however, the reports detail continuing grounds for concern for the Commission:
In Azerbaijan, access to public school for children of non-citizens without legal status has been improved. But there are still cases of racist and inflammatory speech or the promotion of religious intolerance by some media, members of the general public and politicians. In general, there is a lack of awareness on the part of the Azerbaijani population on the problem of racism and intolerance in Azerbaijan and of the relevant existing criminal, civil and administrative law provision aimed at combating such phenomena.
Finland has ratified Protocol No.12 to the European Convention on Human Rights and strengthened its legal and institutional frameworks against racism and racial discrimination. But there is a need for a more consistent public commitment against racism and racial discrimination in all its forms in order to promote genuine ownership by society as a whole of the fight against these phenomena. The implementation of the existing institutional and legal frameworks against racism and racial discrimination still needs to be improved, including through evaluation measures.
In Ireland, a National Action Plan Against Racism was launched in 2005, and a number of recommendations made by the Human Rights Audit on the police force regarding combating racism and racial discrimination are currently being implemented. But the criminal legislation has not been amended to include sufficiently strong provisions for combating racist acts which affect in particular visible minorities and Travellers. Further measures are necessary to raise members of minority groups' awareness of existing mechanisms for seeking redress against racism and racial discrimination.
In Monaco, the authorities have enacted a law on freedom of public expression, which punishes incitement to racial hated. But the Principality still needs to adopt anti-discrimination provisions in civil and administrative law as well as criminal law provisions for punishing racist acts. The racist motivation of a crime is not regarded as an aggravating circumstance at the time of sentencing. Procedural safeguards are needed with regard to persons subject to a turning back or deportation order.
These new reports form part of a third monitoring cycle of Council of Europe member states' laws, policies and practices aimed at combating racism. ECRI's country-specific reports are available in English, French and the national language of the country concerned at http://www.coe.int/ecri. They cover all member states on an equal footing, from the perspective of protecting human rights. They examine whether ECRI's main recommendations from previous reports have been followed and, if so, to what degree of success and effectiveness.

Washington • The Supreme Court has devoted decades to giving meaning to the Constitution's promise of equality for all before the law.
Now, as the court heads into the final two weeks of this year's term, the justices may be about to close one chapter of that long story even as they open a new one.
The court is set to decide whether to pull back on 1960s-era remedies for racial discrimination that critics say have outlived their need. One case tests a race-based affirmative action policy at the University of Texas that gives an advantage to black and Latino students at the expense of some white applicants. Another case could end part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that puts the South under special scrutiny for its laws on voting and elections.
At the same time, the court will decide for the first time whether to extend equal rights to gay couples who are married and to gays and lesbians who wish to marry.
In both sets of cases, the justices will consider what the Constitution means when it says the government may not deny to any person "the equal protection of the laws."
That simple command drove the decisions that struck down racial segregation, integrated classrooms and colleges, and encouraged the adoption of affirmative action policies. And the Voting Rights Act finally gave blacks an equal right to cast ballots and to elect their favored candidates across the South.
More recently, however, conservatives have pushed back, arguing that race-based policies are suspect and discriminatory, even if their aim is to benefit racial minorities. And Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has said the Voting Rights Act is less about voting these days and more about what he called the "sordid business [of] divvying us up by race" when drawing electoral districts.
Meanwhile, gay rights advocates have been sounding the call for equality before the law. They have been winning in state courts, state legislatures, at the ballot box and in polls of public opinion. Twelve states now authorize same-sex marriage, twice as many as last year. But they have yet to win a true declaration of equal rights under the Constitution.
That could come soon. The court will decide whether to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act and rule that legally married gay couples deserve equal benefits under federal law. The California case on Proposition 8 asks the court to decide whether gays and lesbians have an equal right to marry under the Constitution.
Both sets of cases on racial equality and gay rights are linked thematically, says Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California, Irvine Law School.
"I do think there is a parallel. I think the Court can regard DOMA and Prop. 8 as the type of blatantly discriminatory laws that were struck down in the race area decades ago," he said. "But affirmative action and Section 5 [of the Voting Rights Act] are different in the view of the conservative majority: they are remedies that are no longer needed."
The cases also offer the justices the choice to rule broadly or narrowly. Because they are closely divided on these issues, they could be in search of narrow options that win over a majority.
For example, the University of Texas case could lead to a nationwide ruling that strikes down race-based college admissions policies, or it could yield a narrow, Texas-only ruling.
Thanks to a state measure known as the Top 10 percent law, the Austin campus has seen a steady influx in Latino students and a slight rise in the percentage of black students. These minority students were admitted because they graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school classes, not because they were given a preference through the affirmative action policy. Because this policy has been so successful in bringing racial and ethnic diversity to the campus, the Supreme Court could rule that a race-based admissions policy is no longer needed or justified in this instance.
Last year, when the court voted to hear a white student's challenge to the University of Texas, many on the right hoped for a broad ruling to void race-based policies. The case was argued in October. The long delay in handing down an opinion has now led many to suspect the outcome will mean much less.
Four years ago, the court under Roberts came close to striking down Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, but stopped short. Even some of the court's conservatives, though skeptical, were unwilling to sign their names to an opinion that voided one of the nation's most effective civil rights laws, and one that Congress had just extended on a near-unanimous vote. This year, defenders of the law hope the court will stop short again.
Like the Texas case, the California case on same-sex marriage could lead to a nationwide ruling, or more likely, a California-only decision.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy and the court's four liberal justices are expected to join to strike down the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Such a ruling would benefit more than 100,000 married gays and lesbians.
But Kennedy and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg have been wary of going too far too fast when society is changing. A veteran of the women's rights movement, Ginsburg has repeatedly said she believes in a step-by-step approach toward full equality, rather than a single national ruling by the Supreme Court.
If so, the justices could decide the fate of Prop. 8 in a way that does not force the other 37 states to immediately change their marriage laws.
Then, with popular support for gay marriage steadily rising, they may wait to see how the issue develops before revisiting it.

From Wikiquote
Herbert Henry Asquith, 1st Earl of Oxford and Asquith, KG, PC (12 September 1852 – 15 February 1928) was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1908 to 1916.

- If I am asked what we are fighting for I reply in two sentences: In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation, an obligation which, if it had been entered into between private persons in the ordinary concerns of life, would have been regarded as an obligation not only of law but of honour, which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle which, in these days when force, material force, sometimes seems to be the dominant influence and factor in the development of mankind, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed, in defiance of international good faith, by the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power. I do not believe any nation ever entered into a great controversy - and this is one of the greatest history will ever know - with a clearer conscience and a stronger conviction that it is fighting, not for aggression, not for the maintenance even of its own selfish interest, but that it is fighting in defence of principles the maintenance of which is vital to the civilization of the world.

Behind a near triple-double from Kim Demmings and two others in double figures, the Wright State women's basketball team pulled away in the second half for a 78-61 win over Urbana Wednesday night at WSU's Nutter Center.
Tied at 17 with 8:59 remaining in the first half, the Raiders scored 14 straight points, six coming from Demmings, to go up 31-17 with 4:247 to play in the period. The lead then seesawed between 11 and 14 before WSU went into the break up 40-26 following a Demmings three-point play in the closing seconds.
Wright State shot 46 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes while Urbana shot 39 percent.
The Blue Knights quickly cut the deficit to 40-37 by scoring the first 11 points of the second half in a 3:38 span and the margin was four until the Raiders extended it to 59-42 with a 16-3 run, including five points each from KC Elkins and Ivory James.
Urbana closed to within nine at 60-51 on a Ciara Geiger three with 7:10 left, but the Blue Knights would get no closer as WSU followed with an 8-0 burst to put the game out of reach.
Wright State hit 13 of 25 shots in the second half, including four of six three-pointers, to finish at 48 percent for the game while Urbana shot 41 percent overall and was 12 of 31 from behind the arc. The Raiders led 42-13 in points in the paint, 21-11 in points off of turnovers and 13-0 in second-chance points.
Demmings near posted a triple-double as she finished with a season-high 31 points along with season bests in rebounds (10) and assists (9). James added 18, 11 in the second half, while Tayler Stanton had a double-double of 13 points and 14 rebounds. Breanna Stucke also had 10 rebounds as WSU led 48-28 on the boards, including 14-3 on the offensive end.
DeVonyea Johnson paced Urbana (2-8) with 20 points and seven assists while Kate Francisco chipped in a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds and Geiger had nine points.
Wright State (4-4) heads down I-75 Saturday for a 2:00 matchup at Xavier. The Raiders and Musketeers will be meeting for the first time since 1999-2000 season.

I am needing to see who needs 100%mohair girths dyed with straps and what sizes. I am going to buy out the local petsmart but I realize that not all of you have one that sells horse stuff and the website dosnt offer them.
I will dye the entire run and and add straps just as you see on the screen used belt.
I understand the frustration of not being able to find what you need to finish your suit and in the spirit of what this forum is all about I am offering up what little bit of spare time I have left these days to round up some belts for you guys. Like a few of you, I was at the back of the line with the Crazy4bobafett belts, I have yet to get mine. I have herd thet they dont take the dye either. This may be becase of how you guys are dying them, I had to simmer my belt in a pot full of water and a botttle of dye for an hour.
Any how, post or PM me with the FINISHED size of what the belt needs to be, keep in mind that it has to go around your jumpsuit and over your cod peice. This tells me how long the rope part needs to be to look correct.
I should be able to nab between 5-10 belts this weekend.
P.S. - It should not cost me more then $30 a belt shipped for a finished belt.
In your measuring, you want between 2-4" of strap in the back.

Robert Frost Byway Council to host public input session
By ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent | March 14. 2013 8:12PM
The byway council includes residents from Atkinson, Hampstead, Chester, Auburn and Derry, with additional participation from the Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission and the Rockingham Planning Commission.
The byway council's purpose is to protect the historic and cultural features along the byway, encourage the public to investigate the historic resources along the byway, encourage and promote recreational opportunities and to promote economic development, said Derry planning assistant Elizabeth Robidoux.
"The purpose of the session is to obtain input from residents and business owners located along the byway," said Robidoux.
She said the input session will also help raise awareness of the byway initiative, identify concerns in the corridor's communities, and help begin the process of developing goals and objectives for the corridor management plan.
"Public participation and input is a vital component and will be a guiding factor as the council begins to develop the corridor management plan," said Robidoux.
In 2011, Atkinson successfully obtained a designation of its Main Street as a New Hampshire Scenic and Cultural Byway, recognizing many historic properties as well as the importance of the corridor as the primary stage coach route between Boston and Manchester during the state's Colonial era.
The Robert Frost/Old Stage Coach Scenic Byway Advisory Council will explore the potential for expanding that local byway into a regional one that also celebrates the life and history of Robert Frost.

Posted by James McQuivey on the CMOs Blog on February 20, 2013
Wednesday night, Sony hosted what was reported to be a crowd of more than a thousand people at a rare, Applesque new-product demo. There it debuted the next-generation Playstation, officially dubbed the PS4. The event lasted two hours and featured some of the most accomplished game developers in the world, all on stage to promise that the PS4 was going to make gaming even more lifelike, more responsive, and more addicting than it already is.
I could have saved the company the two hours and the cost of hosting the event. Because boil Sony's announcement down to its essence, and you get these simple words: Sony believes the future will be like the past and has built the game console to prove it.
Don't get me wrong; the console is definitely next-generation (or at least, the specs are next-generation, since the console itself did not make an appearance at the event). It has stunning graphics and the kind of processing power necessary to create lifelike movement and even give game characters artificial-intelligence capabilities that should make hardcore gamers hungry with anticipation for the end of the year (the most specific Sony got about the release timeframe).
