Posted by Dave Bartoletti on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on August 26, 2012
I've been speaking to more and more clients lately who are not just saving money with cloud computing — they're using the principles of the cloud to completely transform how they source, build, and deliver all IT services. Savvy I&O leaders should look beyond the per-hour savings promised by the cloud to the core tenets of cloud computing itself. How do the public clouds do it? Why can't you?
Well, you can. You can transform your IT operating model from that of widget-provider to a true service-oriented business partner. Forrester writes extensively about how to make the IT to BT (business technology) transition. I recently spoke at length with the IT management team at Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) about their multi-year IT transformation to what they call "everything-as-a-service." I was put in touch with them by one of their primary suppliers, cloud service management and automation vendor ServiceMesh.
We'll be publishing a complete case study soon, but I wanted to share some of the basics here because they outline a strategy anyone can achieve, regardless of your current level of cloud maturity. The bank started by establishing six core tenets to be enforced across all I&O services moving forward, whether hosted internally or externally. These guiding principles neatly summarize the core value dimensions of cloud computing itself:

I've always wondered about this.
Scenario: Let's say someone with an NFA item dies and leaves their entire estate to their children. Now, let's say the children are unable to have the transfer done due being younger than 21. However say that this person would hate to forfeit the NFA item. Is it possible to have this on hold in the keeping of a trust, etc. ?
I wish I had family members as into firearms as me (not that I'm suggesting I want something bad to happen to my family, quite the contrary), but more so I am curious as to how picky the ATF is with issues along these lines.
Thanks everyone.

Nicole Imbraguglio, Psy.D.
Licensed Psychologist
570 New Waverly Place, Suite 210, Cary, North Carolina 27518
As a psychologist, I bring a range of research-supported training to my practice. I am able to provide therapy on several levels in order to meet your counseling needs at this time in your life. You may be looking for a space to be able to talk about topics you find difficult to share with others, you may be looking to make connections between your current life and events that happened in your past, you may want help solving a specific problem, or you may be looking to be challenged to think or approach situations differently.
Lisa Cloyd, Ph.D.
Licensed Psychologist
1903 North Harrison Avenue, Suite 201, Cary, North Carolina 27513
As a psychologist, I believe that it is critical to be aware of best practices and carefully evaluate what are best practices based upon the most recent research. I use my understanding of the research to inform my therapeutic approach. With that said, however, I believe that the most important aspect of therapy is connecting with you - the person seeking help. If you can't connect with me, I can't help you. Please call me to see if we are a good match to help you reach your goals.
Christopher Ricci, Ph.D.
Clinical Psychologist
8009 Creedmoor Road, Suite 104, Raleigh, North Carolina 27613

Katy Sampson, Ph.D.
Licensed Psychologist
Sage Psychology Group, 5001 S. Miami Blvd., Durham/RTP, North Carolina 27703
As a psychologist with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, I provide high quality psychotherapy and assessment services to individuals of all ages. My educational and professional experience have enabled me to develop a unique approach to counseling that is individualized to each person. I offer a down-to-earth approach to therapy that creatively integrates the most up-to-date scientific research with my own sensitivity and insight. I highly enjoy working alongside my clients to find solutions to life's difficulties and feel privileged to be a part of their process.
Gabriella Johr, Psy.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
5001 S Miami Blvd, Suite 325, Durham, North Carolina 27703
My years of clinical training as a psychologist have provided the groundwork for expertise in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment using the most progressive therapies. Clients do best in therapy when they feel understood, gain awareness, and learn about practical solutions to reduce stress. My approach is to highlight how past experiences influence your current decisions, and to help my clients find healthier alternatives. Consequently, my clients report greater life satisfaction when they understand how emotions impact behavior and feel that they have the power to change. My professional satisfaction, as a psychologist, stems from collaborating with clients and being a part of their personal struggle and growth.

Portland Community College has offered the Oregon Leadership Institute (OLI) at Rock Creek Campus as a cooperative program between PCC and the Oregon Council for Hispanic Advancement (OCHA) since 1999.

Today it continues to do so at PCC with over 500 student graduates.

College student mentors commit to facilitate the five OLI Saturday Sessions by enrolling in the Leadership and Mentorship of a Latino(a) Student class.

UK Childhood Expert visits Evenings
October 25, 2012 , 10:55 PM by Amber Tripp
Lindy felt completely unprepared for her interview with Tim Gill, one the UK's leading thinkers on childhood. She hadn't technically been a child for 35 years, nor had she had any children of her own. So she's barely had anything to do with children and childhood for more than three decades. Tim, on the other hand, has spent over 15 years focusing on the changing nature of childhood, children's play and free time and their evolving relationships with the people and places around them. Fortunately, there were many other people, too who had questions and comments for Tim and his work. It resulted in a fascinating conversation about children, parents, grandparents, community, safety, freedom and love.

"8 gallon round feeder"
I have had one of these for 3 months now and really like it. My filly is an energetic eater and it takes a buffeting. It has held up wonderfully, I like the purple as does she, and I am going to get another one for my older gelding that loses feed. I tried it for him and he lost hardly any feed. A good product. Better in my estimation than fortex because one can actually get them clean while the rubber ones you cannot.

21st Amendment
On this date in 1933, the 21st Amendment was ratified, repealing Prohibition, otherwise known as the stupidest law in American history.
The state that put the 21st Amendment over the top? Utah, of course.

Yeah, but my native state of Oklahoma (the National Laboratory for Public Stupidity) did not repeal it until 1959 and did not legalize liquor by the drink until 1987. Some traditions are deep seated there.
Therefore The Flaming Lips were forced to turn to drugs. Hooray!
… you guys didn't have BARS until the late 80s?
This explains much about how crazy all y'all are.
No offense.
oh no, OK has guns all over the place. bars, on the other hand, took a while longer.
… you guys didn't have BARS until the late 80s?
mr. browning's weapon was very popular with the criminal element, especially clyde barrow, who personally loved it.
We had beer bars (3.2 beer only) and "bottle clubs." In the latter, you were supposed to bring your own bottle (which was left behind the bar with your name on it) and the club sold you set ups. Of course all the bottle clubs had house bottles "for guests" and you could generally get a drink anywhere unless they though you were the cops or they just did not want to serve you. The cost of the fines and the liquor license was less than liquor licenses in most states.
My understanding is that Peggy Noonan never does any shows or appearance on this, her favorite holiday.

Yet the other Prohibition continues.
Oh great, now I'm going to have to get drunk on bowling night.
isn't that more or less the reason for bowling night?
Oh great, now I'm going to have to get drunk on bowling night.
I happen to live in a PA town that has remained dry since Prohibition. A couple years ago, the town voted to keep the ban on alcohol sales in place.
There are still dry counties in Texas, Tennesee, and Kentucky (including Monroe County, where the Jack Daniels distillery is).
Counties and municipalities also, Dr. I was in TX a few years ago and needed some wine for cooking. We had to go out of town (Quinlan) to another town nearby and get what I needed at a drive-through liquor store(which don't exist here in CA, AFAIK).
The state that put the 21st Amendment over the top? Utah, of course.
Why "of course"? The stereotype of Utah is that it would never have ratified it, not that it would have been one of the first 3/4 of the states to ratify it.
I think that "of course" was an example of "verbal irony."
Ah. Yeah. I see it now. That makes much more sense than the way I read it.
Utah politicians actually wanted Utah to be the vital state in ratifying the 21st Amendment.
Well, being the state which put it over the top means they were the last of the first 3/4, which is a slightly more unsurprising way of saying it.
the stupidest law in American history
It would be interesting to compare its collateral damage to that of current drug laws.
For the record, I believe I could name off the top of my head 10 laws that were far more stupid.
the law which gave us national organized crime can never be overrated.
For the record, I believe I could name off the top of my head 10 laws that were far more stupid.
and our drug laws (mostly concocted during the same time frame), by most of the same politicians, have been diligently working their way up the stupid ladder though.
How many of them required constitutional amendments? That was an pandemic of stupid.
Many are, of course, built straight into the Constitution. Recognizing that a dispute over whether the particular laws are stupid or evil may arise (and preemptively point out that these are not mutually exclusive categories), I will point to the following five for starters: the Fugitive Slave Act, Kansas-Nebraska, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 for the pre-Civil War period; the Spanish-American war declaration and the Gulf of Tonkin resolution for war authorization laws. The Volstead Act doesn't come close to being as bad as these.
If he could have been bothered to mention this little fact, Romney might have gotten himself elected.
I mean, naturally, that Bender Romney could have gotten himself elected.
The Drone War pissed me off enough that I probably would have voted for Bender Romney. (Just kidding!)
I initially processed this as a comment about George Lucas.
I need some caffeine.
i'm surprised j. edgar didn't throw a hissy fit, and just insist on keeping alcohol illegal, to help keep growing his little fiefdom. guess the guy wasn't as forward thinking on the subject, as we have been led to believe.
He didn't have direct jurisdiction over alcohol after Prohibition:
When the Volstead Act, which established prohibition in the United States, was repealed in December 1933, the Unit was transferred from the Department of Justice back to the Department of the Treasury where it became the Alcohol Tax Unit (ATU) of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Special Agent Eliot Ness and several members of The "Untouchables", who had worked for the Prohibition Bureau while the Volstead Act was still in force, were transferred to the ATU. In 1942, responsibility for enforcing federal firearms laws was given to the ATU.
I get depressed whenever I think of Prohibition, because it makes me think I'll never see marijuana legalized in my lifetime. If the Moral Majority forebears and others who ramrodded Prohibition through could get alcohol–which has been used in almost every civilization in recorded history–banned, purely because they hate the prospect of others using chemicals to feel better, what chance is there for anything else to even get in the door?
Among the people who ramrodded Prohibition through we're the women's movement since alcohol was only drunk by men, women were getting horribly abused by their drunk husbands and had no legal protection. It was a terrible idea but it wasn't just prudes and moral majority types who worked to get it passed
And drinking their wages away as well:
Father, dear father, come home with me now,
The clock in the steeple strikes one;
You said you were coming right home from the shop
As soon as your day's work was done;
Our fire has gone out, our house is all dark,
And mother's been watching since tea,
With poor brother Benny so sick in her arms
And no one to help her but me,
Come home! come home! come home!
Please father, dear father, come home.
Hear the sweet voice of the child,
Which the night-winds repeat as they roam;
Oh who could resist this most plaintive of prayers
"Please father, dear father, come home."
On the other hand, alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs available, and it's legal. Hell, X users can take comfort in that.
I think a good argument for legalizing less harmful drugs is that we might be able to convince some alcohol abusers to switch to less harmful drugs like marijuana or ecstacy.
All states that did not vote to ratify please secede. Better yet, now I know where we can store our ICBMs and nuclear waste.
According to the list of states on Wikipedia that voted no or took no action at all, we fought a war with most of them to keep them from seceding in the first place.
Surprised nobody has mentioned the Ken Burns PBS mini-series "Prohibition":
(torrents available)
oops. messed the formating. That's a link to ImDB, not some torrent site. Sry.
Excellent series with a lot about the different coalitions that led to the passage of prohibition
I'm anxiously awaiting Ken Burns' new documentary on Ken Burns' documentaries.
Say what you will about Prohibition, but it was a godsend for the poor farmers of Appalachia.
[…] Via Erik Loomis at Lawyers, Guns & Money, I am reminded that 79 years ago today, the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, repealing the 18th Amendment and with it, the disastrous policy of Prohibition. Naturally, my thoughts turned to the depiction of banned and controlled substances in SF&F. […]
Way back in the Prohibition Years, Cousin Fred from Buffalo wore his great coat with the big pockets across the border to Canada, even in summer. Usually the border cops winked to locals when they came back but this time, not so. "The stash is under the hood" (specially-built brackets to hold a fifth), said Fred, and jumped out of the back seat as his brothers took the wrap.

I second that vote!
Not to steer this thread in a new direction.....BUT.
I would like to see the statistics on those 3rd world countries on how many of their children actually attend school....If you don't attend,you can't drop out!
lets say 50% of India's children actually attend school and 90% graduate.
That's a greater non-schooled percentage then the(exaggerated Imho) 50% drop-out rate in the US,stated in the above post.Remember that ALL US children HAVE to attend school....
...Even drop-out's can work and many are smarter than the ones that graduate!
P.S. Now I know why,every time I have to call customer service when I have a problem with my DSL I get someone on the other end I can't understand(can't speak a lick of english),has a piss-poor attitude,and never seem to help....why would any company use this sort of person for customer relations/assistance....I don't get it.

PHOTO: Jessica Simpson reveals baby bump in bikini
Listen to Jessica Simpson on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Just five days after she confirmed on Twitter that's she pregnant with her second child, Jessica Simpson is proudly showing off her baby bump!
On Sunday, the 32-year-old singer tweeted out a shot of herself wearing a bikini and an open beach wrap that allowed her to put her bare pregnant belly on display. "Bumpin' and Proud!" Simpson wrote. The fashion mogul has been enjoying a Hawaiian getaway with her fiancé Eric Johnson, 7-month-old daughter Maxwell Drew, her mom Tina, and her sister Ashlee and Ashlee's 4-year-old son Bronx.
Bumpin' and Proud! twitter.com/JessicaSimpson…— Jessica Simpson (@JessicaSimpson) December 30, 2012
Simpson's pregnancy news came as a bit of a surprise since she only gave birth to her daughter – who's nicknamed Maxi – in May, and because she's also a spokesperson for Weight Watchers, the program which helped her drop a reported 60 pounds after her first pregnancy. The companyannounced earlier this week that Simpson will be taking a break from their regimen while she's expecting, but she still plans on eating healthfully. In a new Weight Watchers ad, Simpson notes that, "Being healthy has become a part of who I am, which is great timing because I'm having another baby. I feel like I'm on top of the world!"

Advice seriously needed please,spaying/mange
Lola is now 4.5 months old, has demodectic mange and is on her second week of treatment for it (advantix)
Although no new bald spots have appeared she is still scratching like crazy ,especially at night.
My vet recommended she be treated with Advantix for 3 months.
I was planning of getting her spayed in another month and a half or so but is this a bad idea since her immune system is compromised ?
If I should wait, how long would you recommend ?
Yes I would wait until she's fully healthy, you want them at peak form before any surgery :)
Hopefully she'll be better quickly then you can talk to your vet regarding a spay. I've ways done females at 6 months with no issues, but if you need a extra couple weeks/months it shouldn't make a big difference though you may have to deal with one heat.
What did the vet recommend on how long to wait to spay because of the mange?
Did she have localized mange? If so, that is normally left untreated (or you can treat topically with NEEM and immune boosting supplements) and the immune system will take care of it on its own. It's actually quite common in dogs under the age of 2. Rafi had it twice when he was between 1 and 2.
I agree to wait until she is in perfect health before spaying.
The problem with mange is it's triggered by stress, including a heat in a dog.
So yes, if you can get her clear in a month- month and a half, do spay.
What we do here, though, is give Ivermectin daily until it's cleared and then two skin scrapes past when it's cleared up.
Ask your vet about Ivermectin. It's 1% for cattle but used off label in dogs.
I've not personally heard about advantix for demodectic mange?
Demodectic Mange
Are you sure it's demodex and not sarcoptic?
Was she actually diagnosed w/mange or speculated - you said no hair loss, was this found on a skin scrape or just observation on vets part?
May be heading into hairloss stage.
She's 4.5 months, I am guessing she had a recent rabies shot? was this with other vaccines at the time or within a couple weeks to a month.
Note: THIS is NOT an anti-vaccine blurb, simply to explain how/why mange may have come to fruition.
First, her immune system hasn't fully developed - it is estimated approx. 6 months. When a vaccine is given, it supresses the immune system defences that deal with other pathogens as it works to deal w/invading vaccine virus or bacteria, a weak or underdeveloped I.S. may not be able to manage, so demodex mange - which is already present and normal under most circumstances proliferate because of immuno suppression.
The immune system once it has dealt w/rabies and/or other, may restore (with good nutrition) on it's own and fix the problem.
A little immune support would help too. Vit C if you want to keep it simple, an anti itch bath with a neem shampoo (formulated for dogs) as mentioned by Ruth.
I would wait to spay too...should never have surgery within months of a vaccine or pesticide treatment to be on the safe side and once the immune system is in top form - the adrenal glands are responible for sex hormones and are part of the endocrine (immune) system, as well the pancreas all work in tandom, so it is important to make sure you are comfortable with surgery and there are NO issues concurrent at time of spay - meds, prevention, vaccines, itchy skin, diarrhea.
here is a link from a company I have used products and was recommended by my Vet...it is animal specific and can dose easily by weight (instead of human product) in her food
Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals - HealthyPet
goodwinol shampoo has natural neem oil in it, the neem oil kills the mange mites.. its safe to use to bathe her in and will help kill the demodex mange. i am not sure of advantix killing off the mange mites,i have not heard of that. normally vets do either ivermection shots or orally...
Are you sure it's not sarcoptic mange? Demodex doesn't itch.
Gretchen had demodex starting in late September and by the end of October she was completely healed and had most her fur grown back. I fed a good diet with lots of raw foods and supplemented with Carmen's Sh-Emp oil, Feed Sentials and Sunday Sundae. I also supplemented MSM powder and vitamin C to help take care of it too. The first week I DID do a full dip (Which was the most awful thing I've ever done and I refuse to ever do it again in a full bath) then I just rubbed some of the Mitaban on her bald spots the next "dip" which I hated to do too. She still healed, good nutrition and good supplements gave her the immune boost to fight it off. I was told she'd need 6-8 dip treatments (2 weeks apart from each other) by vet #1 to completely get rid of it too. (I ended up finding a different vet who didn't agree with the chemical dip treatments for localized demodex. He says she looks great now and healed up really quickly and well on her own. :))
Now, if the dog has SARCOPTIC mange then that's a whole different ball game. That will require you to treat all animals in the house for it, clean the house as well as possible, continuously wash all bedding, ect because it can spread to other animals and yourself.
If it IS demodex for sure then does she have localized or generalized mange? Localized will just be a couple bald spots here and there, localized is more than like 3-4 bald spots and will spread to larger patches all over the dogs body if not treated.
Regardless of what it is, I wouldn't spay until she's completely healed. She's still REALLY young anyways.
a huge thank you for all your advice !
I will be sure to hold off on the spaying until she is well enough.
to answer your questions:
the vet did a skin scraping and confirmed it is demodex and it is localized.
She has one bald spot right next to her eye and another on her front leg ( where the vet did the test)
When she was diagnosed, she was actually at the vets for her second round of vaccines which the vet did despite the mange... was that a bad idea ?
Also, as one of you mentioned, I have also heard that demodex doesn't itch but I swear she is scratching herself all over all night and day.
As far as what the vet gave me for her mange... I checked again and it's Advantage multi 55.
I administered her second dose yesterday morning and am supposed to go back and buy more in 2 weeks and keep up the treatment for 3 months.
Does that sound right to you guys ?
Even 2 months later this seems a very young age to spay. You are stressing the immune further because the dog is still in a growing state . There is some question to the wisdom of an early spay because as said by respected vet Dr Zink " Chris Zink DVM, PhD, DACVP, states that females who are spayed early are more likely to develop vascular or bone cancers, and that there is evidence that they may develop endocrine disorders later in life. Males who are neutered early may have more incidence of bone cancer. In the case of both genders, Dr. Zink also reports a higher incidence of hip dysplasia in dogs who are neutered prior to sexual maturity"
Then your dog has demo so is experiencing some immune depression which you should address through nutrition.
Externally , I would use DEFENDEX VETiONX Defendex - Fleas, Mange and Scabies Symptom Relief Treatment Shampoo much much safer than Advantix .
The vet should not have vaccinated a dog with demodex .
borrowed this from "please take a look" thread , pg 7 , Julie 87 , "Yes, poor dog. She is my first personal dog and I will never spay again...I don't get how removing body parts suppose to make them healthier..they say it prevents certain cancers but then again it increases chancer for other diseases...why do it at all... I will deal with her heat cycles and behavior issues but I will never let them spay another dog of mine... but thats already another topic" Quote:

National Provider Identifier (NPI)
The administration simplification provisions of HIPAA require the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to adopt a national standard identifier for covered health care providers. The National Provider Identifier (NPI) will be the standard identifier and CMS is developing the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) to identify providers and assign NPIs.
The NPI is ten-digit number and is used to submit claim transactions to all government and non-government payers. NPI replaced existing provider numbers assigned by these entities and CMS will discontinue the UPIN enumeration process.
Providers who are required to obtain an NPI include:
Each individual practitioner will receive one NPI. However, an organization provider may obtain an NPI for each of its subparts.

Here is my idea, since there aren't that many regulars here with their TT's I think it would be useful to have a thread like this one. I'm thinking that we can each post up pics of our car with your username in BOLD and a short description of your car. It can be your mods and/or a story about your car, similar to the autobiography series VWVortex has.
Only post once so each reply is a regular member for this forum.
I think this thread can be very useful for the people who use this forum. A visitor can see that someone has a mod that they were interested in and can directly communicate with that person about the mod.
so here are the rules again:
- username in bold
- a short description of their car (mods, story, etc.)
- only post once with your car
- please keep the pictures big enough so we can see your car and small enough that we don't have to scroll sideways too much
Here is my car to start:
It's a 2001 Quattro Roadster 225. Desert Green/Green leather interior. I got it after trading in my 04 GTi VR6.

The British comedy "Sightseers" playing at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival follows a couple on a road trip but, boy, does this trip take some dark turns.
The comedy centers on Chris (Steve Oram) and Tina (Alice Lowe), who take a caravan trip through Yorkshire. But the happy vacation changes abruptly when Chris murders a stranger (it's in the trailer), leaving Tina to figure out what future she has with her boyfriend.
Lowe and Oram wrote the screenplay. The movie is directed by Ben Wheatley, and filmmaker Edgar Wright ("Shaun of the Dead," "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World") is one of the executive producers.
The trailer includes a prominent swear word at the end, and the general tone may be too dark for some viewers.
"Sightseers" screens in the Spotlight section of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Please see my posts on page two of this web site. Always happy to discuss my experiences with the S2 9.2C (email@example.com). Please note I will be away from the computer for most of next week, but around after that.
To those of you suffering compression post problems
I should suspect that there is water in your bilge, which is infiltrating from the anchor locker, to the front bilge, then spilling over into the stoareage areas under the setees in the main cabin, and under the are where the compression post is. For years, I would find water in the shallow area under the compression post during our rainy season here in Florida. I always though that, somehow, it was getting in via the mast fittings. Not so. Since I fixed the anchor locker problem there has been NO water EVER in the area under the compression post (thus, no rot in 22 years). See my posting on page two of this site with regard to how to address the leakage problem from the anchor locker.
Thanks Guys and Gals,
You all seem to love the S9.2 in your own way and everyone appears happy with the coastal performance and accommodation she offers in both the aft & central cockpit arrangement. I have still not had the opportunity to see one of these little ships first hand as work is always a priority. The only real response to my question came from Camaraderie whom, I deduce, is talking from the experience and platform of a bigger vessel.
With further research I have concluded that the S9.2 c is not the boat to cross the pond, because of its high volume and cork like reputation. Though my intent is a onetime one way trip I would hate to struggle on the journey due to bad Ocean going qualities, to find that I wish to go further but the boat doesnt.
I have yet to overcome the belief that every boat is a compromise so I am now pursuing a cross section of heavy displacement, Long/Full keeled vessels between 30 & 33ft of which there are few examples. As I have never been a lover of the retractable center plate/board, I have narrowed the field to five or six potentials; Cape Dory 30 & 33, Bombay clipper 31, Westsail 32, Downeaster 32, or the Yorktown 33, Has anyone any views on these???
The Hunt goes on. My present boat Rip Tide will find her way down the family ladder and the new vessel will be named Ebb Tide when I find her
Thank you all
22 Year owner of S2 9.2C with lots of opinions/maintenance experience
Folks. It took me seven years to do it, but I finally found out where that leak in the v-birth (that kept filling the forward bilge) came from. Turns out the anchor locker is a pre-fab unit glassed into the bow. It had seperated from the hull where the drain holes for the anchor locker are. So, . . . when the anchor locker was wet it ended up funneling the water into the v-birth area. Took out the decorative board at the foot of the v-birth and filled the void between the locker and hull with 5200. Voila! The forward bilge has been dry ever since. Perhaps a better fix would have been to construct a threaded tube fitting to go through each drain hole and then bed that in 5200. That, however, is beyond my mechanical abilities. Any questions about S2 9.2Cs? I will be pleased to share my experiences! Love the boat, although there are tradeoffs, . . as with any vessel.
Last Thurs. I hauled our 9.2c for the first time since we bought her last fall. No blisters and there was still zink left on the shaft. Dropped the mast to install mast steps. Also the KBW10 tranny needs to be rebuilt. Hope to get her back in the water next week.
So the list goes on:
1) Bottom prep and paint
2) Tranny rebuild
3) Mast steps install
4) Dripless shaft seal
5) New zinks (including engine zinks)
6) New mast wiring
Important note: When hauling, make sure the strap is behind the prop and just in front of the skeg or too much pressure may bend the prop shaft. There's not enough room aft of the keel and forward of exposed shaft for a hauling strap.
|Gary M
I have an 1984 S2 9.1 that I had to replace the mast step that is a very commom problem with the 9.1s and I assume it is the same on your boat. Check the 9.1 web site, there is lots of info on various issues with these boats. If you want specifics of how I fixed mine, PM me.
I have a 1978 S2 9.2C that I have lived aboard since 2002. I am at the tail end of over two years of a complete re-fit that included a new engine, rigging, sanitation system, hull and deck paint, a complete bottom gel strip (330 blisters) letting the boat dry out for over 8 months before applying 10 gallons (yes 10) of west systems epoxy, 4 gallons of interlux barrier coat and 3 gallons of trinidad bottom paint, new batteries, new dodger and bimini top, and a bunch of other "stuff". I'm right in the middle of replacing the main floor frame under the compression post and let me tell you it is no small job. (of course, to be fair, it seems that nothing really is.) I have pictures of almost everything and if you email me at *** what a bummer!!! I can't post my email address, lets see... okay so I can cheat... it's "mikethecapt" and it's at hotmail, got it? Great! I will be happy to share all I have and all I have learned about this great little boat. I work as a professional mariner and have spent the last 34 years at sea on ships of all sizes and have lived aboard or at least puttered about various small boats my whole life. although this boat is no where as stout as say a southern cross or a westerly, it is more than robust enough to hop up and down the coast or sail the caribbean. With that being said, pick your weather and don't be a fool and you can sail anywhere provided xxxx dosen't happen, but knowing that it can and sometimes will, well that's why it's called freedom. There's a ton of lesser boats sitting on the hook in paridise because there owners didn't know that they couldn't sail them that far. Good luck and congrats on finding what I think is one great little cruiser.

S/V Plan B
|I've heard of this happening, but not to S2s. Usually due to standing water in the bilge which rots out the base. It is a simple fix. Good luck!
|We too just purchased an S2 9.2C this past April. It's a 1983. Appears to be in terrific condition except that the compression post is sinking into the floor... We noticed that the table did not sit down completely on its little hooks. We have had a techy look at it and it appears to be something that can be fixed without huge cost. Has anyone had experience with this issue? I would love to see some pics of the (re)finished product.
S2 9.2c
Hey all,
We just bought a 1977 9.2c. There were no manuals, etc., onboard and the PO was absolutely no help, so it's been an adventure figuring the systems out and bringing everything back to life.
She had been neglected for several years, but after a gentle power wash to remove the Oregon State Flower covering we found her sound and dry. Amazingly, there was no water in the bilge. Good thing, because the bilge pump had been inoperational for years without power.
Following is a list of components we've dealt with and brought back to life:
Engine: 2QM20 rwc. Replaced the tach drive unit after full service
Batteries: New gr27, starting, 2 6v Trojan golf cart, house
LPG: New external hose and 10# alum. horizontal tank
Oven: 4-burner Magic Chef w/oven. Replaced oven pilot
Refrigeration: Addler Barber Danfoss cold plate. Replaced the control module
Hot water: On-demand LPG. Repaired freeze-burst in coil
She sails well and feels solid and responsive. Comfortable for two large adults and the dog.
We'd be interested in communicating with other 9.2c owners.

Looks pretty good. How does that stuff adhear to polymer?
You can sand your sliders of your pistols here,To get the same color of olive.

Duracoat is designed to spray on direct with no sanding or baking. Just spray and air dry. It adheres to wood, plastic, or metal. Surface must be clean and oil free, no other prep is required. I doubt I will paint the slides, I do like some contrast.
I just don't see it, sorry!
Interesting..................if youdid it your self, nice work!
Hud, there is a little more to it than that. If you air dry it it takes 3 weeks to fully cure. You can give it 20 minutes at 110 degrees and it will be fully cured. Surface prep is critical, and next to parkerizing, polymer is one of the best surfaces to shoot on. I have that dark OD on my G22 frame and it shows no holster wear after two years of carry. I had it on my G35 for USPSA and it had tens of thousands of draws with no wear. It's pretty good stuff as far as paint goes.
Whoa those are cool!
Nice looking pistols...

A broken wrist or broken hand is a break or crack in one of the many bones within your wrist and hand. The most common of these injuries occurs in the wrist when people try to catch themselves during a fall and land hard on an outstretched hand.
Risk factors for a broken wrist or broken hand range from participation in certain sports — such as in-line skating or snowboarding — to having a condition in which bones become thinner and more fragile (osteoporosis).
It's important to treat a broken wrist or broken hand as soon as possible. Otherwise, the bones may not heal in proper alignment, which can affect your ability to perform everyday activities, such as grasping a pen or buttoning a shirt. Early treatment will also help minimize pain and stiffness.
If you have a broken wrist or broken hand, you may experience these signs and symptoms:
If you think you may have a broken wrist or hand, see a doctor immediately, especially if you have numbness, swelling or trouble moving your fingers. A delay in diagnosis and treatment can lead to poor healing, decreased range of motion and decreased grip strength.
A direct blow or crushing injury to your hands and wrists can break any of the bones in them. Common causes include:
Participating in certain sports activities or having certain health conditions may increase your chances of experiencing a broken wrist or broken hand.
Certain activities may increase your risk of breaking bones in your wrist or hand, such as:
You may be more susceptible to broken bones if you:
Complications of a broken wrist or broken hand are rare, but they may include:
You may initially seek treatment for a broken wrist or broken hand in an emergency room or urgent care clinic. If the pieces of broken bone aren't lined up properly to allow healing with immobilization, you may be referred to a doctor specializing in orthopedic surgery.
You may want to write a list that includes:
Preparing a list of questions for your doctor will help you make the most of your time together. For broken wrist or broken hand, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor may ask:
The diagnosis of a broken wrist or hand generally includes a physical exam and one or more imaging tests.
During the physical exam, your doctor will check the affected area for:
Imaging scans are crucial to the diagnosis of a broken wrist or broken hand. To diagnose your injury, you may have:
If the broken ends of the bone aren't aligned properly, your doctor will need to manipulate the pieces back into their proper positions — a process called fracture reduction. Depending on the amount of pain and swelling you have, you may need a muscle relaxant, a sedative or even a general anesthetic before this procedure.
Restricting the movement of a broken bone in your wrist or hand is critical to proper healing. To do this, you may need a splint or a cast.
To reduce pain, your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve, others). If you're experiencing severe pain, you may need an opioid medication, such as codeine.
After your cast or splint is removed, you'll likely need rehabilitation exercises or physical therapy to reduce stiffness and restore movement in your wrist and hand. Rehabilitation can help, but it may take up to several months — or even longer — for complete healing of severe injuries.
If immobilization isn't an option, you may need surgery to implant internal fixation devices, such as plates, rods or screws, or bone grafts to maintain proper position of your bones during healing. These internal fixation devices may be necessary if you have the following injuries:
In some cases, the surgeon may immobilize your fracture by using an external fixation device. This consists of a metal frame with two or more pins that go through your skin and into the bone on either side of the fracture.
It's impossible to prevent the unforeseen events that often cause a broken wrist or broken hand. But these basic tips may offer some protection.
Build strong bones by:
Most broken wrists occur when people fall forward onto an outstretched hand. To prevent this common injury:
Wear wrist guards for high-risk activities, such as:

Re: Let's Play
I personally love steampunk art. I did a lot of research for this derby and the current fog looks like nothing I found. It is a disappointment.
Before all the Ramy/Seki fans jump on me, I'm not saying that Ramy/Seki is a poor designer. Rather, I find him/her to be fantastic - these designs included. My problem is that he/she just can't seem to follow the theme on a regular basis. When he/she does, I vote for him/her. Not this week.
I think that Shirt.Woot should start a separate contest entitled "Whatever Anime Ramy/Seki Wants to Draw". That would ensure that the mindless base of voters can buy all the anime their wallets will allow.
The themed derby should be about growing creatively and trying NEW things. Voting should be based, first and foremost, on whether the entry fits the theme. I've seen a lot of people say something to the effect of, "I don't like steampunk, I like Ramy/Seki's stuff..."
Then, please don't vote in a steampunk themed contest.
GMV... good luck kid

Just look at the positive comments and the people that jump to the defence in Ramyb or Sekiyoku's thread to anyone that doubts it. You see a positive comment, hover over the name and see when they joined. 9 out of 10 times they joined after Sept. 23, the date Ramy joined (and coincidentally the time Sekiyoku started winning, after being here since 2006!?!) Sekiyoku's got almost 20 of them in her thread this week, Ramy close to 50 in his two threads. What's amazing is for as many Sept. 2008-April. 2009 join dates you see there's almost never any Jun. July or Aug. 2008 joiners. It's like they just suddenly appeared and Oi! Mosh good! love! Ramyb and Sekiyoku's work the best!!! Check out other peoples submissions, you won't find the same kind of hefty representation from Sept. 23 to today. Couldn't be more obvious there's something wrong here.

I think this design is totally killer. Pretty far from my understanding of what steampunk is, but frankly, very few of this derby's designs tap into the Victorian influence that marks true steampunk for me, so I guess my thought is, at least this one's well done.
Though I, too, could do without the smokestacks. They do seem a touch nonsensical.

as cool as this looks im sorry to say i don't see steam punk in this entry at all B^(
some one said that its steam punk because it had metal wings and that it was powered by steam... sorry but that's not steam punk. Victorian style is no where in this design and steam punk is mostly copper and wood elements using steam and gears to move/power the contraptions.
but at the same time most of the entries in this derby are off the mark so unfortunately this entry much like most of the others wont get pulled.
i had high hopes for this derby but im sad to say i was sorely let down B^(
the design is cool and all but i think you missed the concept of steampunk. not sure where you got your information while looking up what steampunk was but this is more like zoids meets full metal alchemist. it may be steampunk inspired but its just not steampunk and where you said that the red light on the wolf was to show it was powered by a fire... to me it just looks like light reflecting off the sun or what ever it is that's giving off the red light off to the right. to me its not coming from the wolf at all B^( also i have to agree with others that the steam looks more like hair than steam B^(.
i posted the rest of this post on another thread but it applies here as well so ill post it here as well.

Eric Holder: "Fast and Furious" Emails Doesn't Mean Operation Fast and Furious
posted at 9:08 am on June 8, 2012 by Rovin
In Mr. Holder's latest round of testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, the Attorney General "noted for the record" that the internal emails that directly mentions Fast and Furious, does not mean Fast and Furious……it only means/refers to Wide Receiver:
(CNSNews.com) – Attorney General Eric Holder claimed during congressional testimony today that internal Justice Department emails that use the phrase "Fast and Furious" do not refer to the controversial gun-walking operation Fast and Furious.
Under questioning from Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who read excerpts of the emails at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Justice Department oversight, Holder claimed that the phrase "Fast and Furious" did not refer to Fast and Furious but instead referred to another gun-walking operation known as "Wide Receiver."
However, the emails refer to both programs — "Fast and Furious" and the "Tucson case," from where Wide Receiver was launched — and reveal Justice Department officials discussing how to handle media scrutiny when both operations become public.
Three emails all refer to both programs, but Mr. Holder appears to only see one.
Among three of the emails (see Jason Weinstein Email Fast, Furious.pdf), the second, dated "October 17, 2010 11:07 PM," was sent by Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein to James Trusty and it states: "Do you think we should have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura's Tucson case [Wide Receiver] are unsealed? It's a tricky case, given the number of guns that have walked, but it is a significant set of prosecutions." Read all three emails at the CNS News link.
But, of course, this all refers to WIDE RECEIVER, says Mr. Obama's quarterback:
Holder told the committee: "That refers to Wide Receiver, not to Fast and Furious. The e-mail that you [Rep. Chaffetz] just read [between Trusty and Weinstein] – now this is important – that email referred to Wide Receiver, it did not refer to Fast and Furious. That has to be noted for the record."
Chaffetz, after a long pause, said, "No, it doesn't. It says Fast and Furious. 'Do you think we should have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura's Tucson case [Wide Receiver] are unsealed?' It's specific to Fast and Furious. That is not true, Mr. Attorney General. I'm happy to share it with you."
Why Mr. Chaffetz can't/won't just call this what it is…..another futile attempt by Holder pretend that he "wasn't in the game", just boggles the mind. Clinton's famous "is" is has some new company.

Posted by Tyler Shields on September 3, 2013
Starting with the inception of the iPhone in 2007, and the invention of the app store in 2008, Apple, Google, BlackBerry, Microsoft, and a slew of third-party mobile app stores have waged a battle for developers and for app downloads. The winner of the "App War" would go on to win the consumer vote and eventually make a truckload of money both in pure revenue and in an increase in value of their company stock.
All of the fighting has resulted in multiple casualties. BlackBerry couldn't keep up the pace and was eventually chopped off at the knees. Microsoft has yet to gain enough developer volume to be a real threat and will eventually reinvent itself as a new company under new leadership. Third-party app stores are distributed and nimble but really amount to nothing more than splinter groups using guerrilla tactics against the major nation states. They just can't compete in the long term.
In the United States, Google Play and Apple iTunes have become the two superpowers in the mobile app war. With exceptional mobile application uptake, these two players have come to dominate the consumer mobile space. Phones don't sell phones. . .applications sell phones, and these two players have won.

Now Multiple IG-Gate Investigations
UPDATE: Grassley Eyes 'RAT Board'
posted at 2:09 pm on June 25, 2009 by The Other McCain
One of the points emphasized in my special report at The American Spectator:
Those familiar with the investigations (and yes, that noun is plural) caution against personalizing or politicizing the situation. These sources are especially concerned that inquiries by Republican members of Congress should not be portrayed as a partisan "gotcha" game against the popular new president. . . .
Expect the IG situation at Amtrak to make news in the near future, and investigations continue into the ousting of the IGs at AmeriCorps and International Trade Commission, but there's another IG story I'm watching closely:
Neil Barofsky is "SIGTARP," the special investigator general whose job is to keep an eye on disbursement from the Troubled Assets Relief Program, the $3 trillion financial bailout that was rushed through Congress in October. Last week, Grassley sent a stern letter to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, asking about "a dispute over certain Treasury documents that were being withheld from SIGTARP auditors on a specious claim of attorney-client privilege."
At stake in the TARP case — as in the cases of the IGs at Amtrak, AmeriCorps and the ITC — is whether the inspectors generals will remain vigilant watchdogs on behalf of taxpayers or become compliant lapdogs, allowing Obama's political appointees to do as they wish without fear of independent scrutiny.
Given the controversial nature of the TARP — including the public outcry over bonuses paid to top employees of insurance giant AIG, a bailout beneficiary — Grassley is by no means the only member of Congress interested in preserving Barofsky's independence. In April, Geithner was grilled by Texas Republican Rep. Jeb Hensarling and other members of Congress at a hearing after Barofsky reported a "staggering" amount of fraud in the bailout program.
Hensarling is one of the staunchest critics of TARP and, as ABC News reported last week, the Texan sent a letter to Elizabeth Warren, chairwoman of the congressional panel charged with overseeing the bailout, warning that Treasury's actions were a "threat to [Barofksy's] independence." . . .
Please read the whole thing.
UPDATE: Pat in Shreveport:
One of the many things that concerns me about this story is that were it not for people like Stacy, Malkin, York and other diligent bloggers, it would likely be swept under the rug. There's just so much else to talk about! Mark Sanford! Everyone loves a good sex scandal! An Argentina love affair with titillating emails! Sex sells, and that's what will be all over the news today.
Hmmm. Need a sex angle? Amtrak general counsel Eleanor Acheson was Hillary Clinton's college roommate. As Dan Riehl points out, before she joined Amtrak, Acheson was on the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Tuesday, "Eldie" Acheson spoke at the State Department's gay pride celebration. No Argentina angle or titilating e-mails yet, but NTTAWWT.
UPDATE II: Ed O'Keefe of The Washington Post admirably continues bird-dogging the story:
"I kind of get the impression that there's kind of a crusade early on in this administration to, how would you say it, short circuit inspectors general," Grassley said earlier this week during an interview.
Staffers for the Iowa Republican are seeking information into at least five alleged incidents of interference with inspectors general at Amtrak, the Corporation, the International Trade Commission, the Library of Congress and with the special inspector general for the Treasury Department's Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP). . . .
In addition to the five inquiries, Grassley is also concerned with the establishment of the Recovery Act Transparency and Accountability (RAT) Board, the panel tasked with overseeing the distribution and use of economic stimulus dollars . . . an obscure part of its authorizing legislation . . . requires inspectors general seeking information on potential waste, fraud or abuse of economic stimulus dollars to clear such investigations with the board.
"I mean it's irritating," Grassley said, raising his voice, "for a president that ran on transparency and accountability. He ought to be encouraging all this stuff, not being seen as an impediment."
Grassley's not going to let go of this issue — the watchdog bulldog, as it were.
