VandenHurk stays on track for rotation
VandenHurk stays on track for rotation
Although the Marlins were off on Wednesday, VandenHurk drew the assignment of throwing five innings in a Triple-A game in the morning.
Pitching for Albuquerque, VandenHurk got his work in against the Cardinals' Triple-A squad.
The 6-foot-5 right-hander gave up three runs on three hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out five.
In the scrimmage, the Cardinals had power-hitting outfielder Chris Duncan bat every inning, which set up good challenges.
In one stretch of consecutive innings, VandenHurk gave up a single to Duncan and then struck him out. Duncan followed with a double in the fifth inning.
With two outs in the fifth, VandenHurk surrendered a three-run homer to Joe Mather.
Overall, VandenHurk got his work in, and he was able to further refine his breaking ball.
The Marlins have yet to announce their rotation, but the way VandenHurk is throwing, his chances of earning a spot are good.
The Marlins are going with a four-man rotation until April 13 because of two early off-days. At that point, they will slide in a fifth starter.
Competing for rotation spots are Mark Hendrickson -- believed to be the front-runner to start on Opening Day -- Andrew Miller, VandenHurk, Ricky Nolasco, Chris Volstad, Scott Olsen and Burke Badenhop.

Oil mixed ahead of EIA inventory report
Oil prices are little changed ahead of this morning's EIA oil inventory report and after what can only be described as a bearish API oil report last evening (see below for more details). Although the inventory reports are skewed due to the industry's handling of their end of year inventories the simple fact is stocks are building in the US with supply growing at a much faster pace than demand. This pattern is expected to continue according to the latest EIA Short Energy Outlook report highlighted below.
Yes crude oil prices have been trading in an upward trending price channel and both the spot Brent and WTI futures contracts are hovering near the upper resistance level of the trading channel. However, I do not see any major upside momentum that will carry oil prices to significantly higher levels in the short to medium term (barring a surprise geopolitical event).
The market seems to be discounting the bearish current fundamentals... just look at the API data compared to how the market is trading overnight... HO is up after a 5.9 million barrel build in distillate fuel stocks. Rather the market is focusing on what the forward fundamentals might be if in fact the global economy is turning the corner. That said I look at the EIA projection for US domestic crude oil production increasing by 900,000 bpd against a projection of total global oil demand supply growth of about 900,000 bpd for 2013 and it is hard for me to get overly bullish even when looking at projected fundamentals.
With China representing about half of the projected increase in global oil consumption and the US representing a major portion of the projected supply growth the macro fundamentals are now coming down to the US as the incremental supplier versus China as the incremental consumer. With the economic recovery still very fragile... at best there is more downside risk to Chinese oil consumption than there is to US oil E&P and thus oil production growth. I did not think I would be able to say this but the macro global supply and demand is coming down to US and China...the part I did not think I would say is the US part as the production success has been unprecedented.
The EIA released their latest Short Term Energy Outlook yesterday afternoon. Overall I would view the report as bearish from as they increased their projection of US domestic crude production strongly while still forecasting only a very slow increase in consumption over the next two years. On a global basis they are expecting global supply to offset higher global consumption for both 2013 and 2014. Following are the main oil related highlights from the report.
• EIA expects oil markets to loosen in 2013 and 2014 as increasing global supply more than offsets higher global consumption. Projected world supply increases by 1.0 million bbl/d in 2013 and 1.7 million bbl/d in 2014, with most of the growth coming from outside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). North America will account for much of this growth. Projected world liquid fuels consumption grows by an annual average of 0.9 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2013 and 1.3 million bbl/d in 2014. Countries outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) drive expected consumption growth.
• World liquid fuels consumption grew by an estimated 0.9 million bbl/d in 2012 to reach 89.2 million bbl/d. EIA expects that this growth will remain about the same over the next year before picking up again in 2014 due to a moderate recovery in global economic growth; consumption reaches 90.1 million bbl/d in 2013 and 91.5 million bbl/d in 2014. Non-OECD Asia is the leading regional contributor to expected global consumption growth. OECD liquid fuels consumption declined by 0.4 million bbl/d in 2012. EIA projects OECD consumption to further decline by 0.3 million bbl/d in 2013, as modest consumption growth in North America is more than offset by decreasing consumption in Europe. The OECD consumption decline narrows to 0.1 million bbl/d in 2014 as European consumption begins to flatten in response to higher economic growth. EIA projections do not assume any significant deterioration of the economic situation in the United States or the European Union (EU) next year.
• Although supply growth in the United States and Russia during 2012 outpaced our forecast at the beginning of the year, overall non-OPEC liquid fuels production fell below the year-ago expectations. EIA forecasts non-OPEC production to increase by 1.4 million bbl/d in 2013 and 1.3 million bbl/d in 2014, but assumptions about the mitigation of some of the current political impediments to production and the rapid evolution of the North American oil industry introduce considerable risks to the forecast. North America accounts for about two-thirds of the projected growth in non-OPEC supply over the next two years because of continued production growth from U.S. tight oil formations and Canadian oil sands.
• EIA expects US crude oil production to continue to grow rapidly over the next two years, increasing from an average 6.4 million bbl/d in 2012 to average 7.3 million bbl/d in 2013, an increase of about 0.3 million bbl/d from last month's STEO, and 7.9 million bbl/d in 2014. Central to this projected growth will be ongoing development activity in key onshore basins. Drilling in tight oil plays in the Williston, Western Gulf, and Permian Basins is expected to account for the bulk of forecast production growth over the next two years.
• EIA expects that OPEC members will continue to produce at least 30 million bbl/d of crude oil over the next two years to accommodate the projected increase in world oil consumption and to counterbalance supply disruptions. However, OPEC crude supply decreases by 0.6 million bbl/d in 2013 and stays flat through 2014. Most of the decrease in 2013 comes from Saudi Arabia, which responds to non-OPEC growth and increasing production from some OPEC members, such as Iraq, Nigeria, and Angola.
• EIA estimates that OECD commercial oil inventories ended 2012 at 2.67 billion barrels, equivalent to 58 days of supply. Projected OECD oil inventories remain relatively flat throughout the next year and end 2013 at 2.66 billion barrels (58 days of supply). Inventories grow to 2.69 billion barrels (59 days of supply) by the end of 2014.
The API report was simply bearish showing much larger builds of refined products than the range of expectations. The crude oil build was within the expectations for more modest draw. Gasoline showed a larger than expected build in inventory while distillate fuel stocks surged versus an expectation for a smaller build. The API reported a build (of about 2.4 million barrels) in crude oil stocks versus an industry expectation for a modest draw as crude oil imports increased even as refinery run rates decreased by 1.6%. The API reported a strong build in distillate and a build in gasoline stocks.
The API report is bearish as the build in crude oil stocks is primarily a function of end of the year LIFO or inventory management that normally happens every year and is starting to make up for the large end of the year decline already seen. Over the next several weeks I would expect to see crude oil imports and stocks to continue to rebuild as the industry readjusts back to more normal inventory operating levels. That said the fact that there was such a large deviation from the expectations will make this morning's EIA inventory report much more interesting. The oil market is mixed heading into the US trading session and ahead of the EIA oil inventory report at 10:30 AM today. The market is always cautious on trading on the API report and prefers to wait for the more widely watched EIA report due out this morning. The API reported a build of about 2.4 million barrels of crude oil with PADD 2 stocks increasing by 1.5 million barrels while Cushing stock increased by 0.3 million barrels. On the week gasoline stocks increased by about 7.9 million barrels while distillate fuel stocks decreased by about 5.9 million barrels.
My projections for this week's inventory report are summarized in the following table. I am expecting the US refining sector to increase marginally as the refining sector continues to return to normal from maintenance. I am expecting a modest build in crude oil inventories after last week's large LIFO inventory draw, a build in gasoline and in distillate fuel stocks as the weather was still not winter like over the east coast during the report period. I am expecting crude oil stocks to increase by about 2 million barrels. If the actual numbers are in sync with my projections the year over year comparison for crude oil will now show a surplus of 32.2 million barrels while the overhang versus the five year average for the same week will come in around 44.3 million barrels.
I am expecting a modest build in crude oil stocks in Cushing, Ok as the Seaway pipeline has been shut as the operator ready's for restart later this week at an increased capacity of 400,000 bpd. This will be bullish for the Brent/WTI spread in the short term as the spread is currently trading at its lowest level since late October. The slow return from maintenance in the North Sea as well as the evolving situation in the Middle East have been the main drivers that have resulted in the Brent/WTI spread still trading around the $18.60/bbl level as of this writing. The narrowing of the spread should begin to ease once the North Sea returns to a more normal production level, the situation in the Middle East quiets down and the expanded capacity of the Seaway pipeline starts flowing later this week.
With refinery runs expected to increase by 0.2% I am expecting a build in gasoline stocks. Gasoline stocks are expected to increase by 1 million barrels which would result in the gasoline year over year surplus coming in around 6.5 million barrels while the surplus versus the five year average for the same week will come in around 11.5 million barrels.
Distillate fuel is projected to increase by 1.5 million barrels. If the actual EIA data is in sync with my distillate fuel projection inventories versus last year will likely now be about 18.1 million barrels below last year while the deficit versus the five year average will come in around 17.1 million barrels.
The following table compares my projections for this week's report (for the categories I am making projections with the change in inventories for the same period last year. As you can see from the table last year's inventories are mostly in directional sync with this week's projections. As such if the actual data is in line with the projections there will be only small changes in the year over year inventory comparisons for just about everything in the complex.
I am maintaining my view at neutral and keeping my bias also at neutral as the current fundamentals are still biased to the bearish side. However, the technicals are still suggesting that the market could be setting up for a breakout move to the upside as both WTI and Brent are hovering near the channel upside breakout level. There is still no shortage of oil anyplace in the world and a portion of the risk premium from the evolving geopolitics of the Middle East is continuing to slowly recede from the price of oil.
I am maintaining my Nat Gas view at cautiously bearish as the fundamentals and technicals are now suggesting that the market may be heading lower for the short term. I anticipate that the market is now positioned to possibly test the $3/mmbtu support level if the actual temperatures are in sync with the latest NOAA forecasts. As I have been discussing for weeks the direction of Nat Gas prices are primarily dependent on the actual and forecasted weather pattern now that we are in the heart of the winter heating season and currently those forecasts are bearish.
Markets are mostly lower heading into the US trading session as shown in the following table.

For the past couple of weeks, I feel like I have started off these Sunday morning posts by saying that there's not a lot to watch as far as early game injury concerns, but hey, follow along anyway. This week, I don't need any sort of sell. We've got plenty of guys to keep track of this morning -- Pierre Garcon , Julio Jones , Michael Turner, Calvin Johnson and many more. So keep it here until about 1 p.m. Eastern for all of the latest news about those playing in early games.
Players who have already been ruled out for Week 11 include Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Aaron Hernandez, Michael Vick, Jay Cutler and Darren McFadden. For a full list of injuries around the league this week, click the link below to the NFL's official injury report.
-- Julio Jones is active for the Falcons today, but it's not all good news for him. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, it's unclear how much Jones will play with his sprained ankle, and that will depend on game situation. Still, I think you have got to play Julio if you've got him. It depends on your options, but even at less than 100 percent, Julio has a ton of upside.
-- Browns cornerback Joe Haden is out with an oblique injury. Good news for Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and Miles Austin.
-- As expected, Texans tight end Owen Daniels is active after missing Week 10 due to a hip injury. The Jaguars have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends but Daniels is still a fine TE1 today.
-- Bengals WR Andrew Hawkins is inactive due to a knee injury that he most likely suffered in practice late in the week. Still, the Bengals' wide receiving corps is A.J. Green and a bunch of guys.
-- Pierre Garcon is active and will start for the Redskins on a game day for the first time since early October. I don't think you can trust him today against the Eagles. He most certainly won't play a full complement of snaps, but he could definitely give you a solid WR3 during your fantasy playoffs. His return is also great news for Robert Griffin III, who is in serious need of a dependable wideout.
-- Falcons RB Michael Turner is active. He was listed as questionable because of a groin injury. I don't know how much the injury is affecting his play, but Turner is just an uninteresting RB2 today against the Cardinals.
-- Calvin Johnson and Titus Young are ready to go for the Lions. Johnson, who is questionable on the injury report every week, has been in full Megatron mode lately. Young is a WR3.
-- Wide receiver Jeremy Kerley and running backs Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight are all active for the Jets today. Should you care? Do I need to answer that?
-- Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray is inactive, as expected. But his sprained foot is making progress. We'll check back on him in Week 12. Felix Jones is a nice RB2 versus the Browns.
-- After being suspended last week, Rams wide receiver Chris Givens is back and active for today's game versus the Jets. However, he is not a good play.
-- In a couple of late-game notes, we have multiple reports out there stating that Ryan Mathews will start for the Chargers despite having a neck injury that kept him very limited during the practice week. Also, Saints running back Darren Sproles is expected to play, and NFL Network's Albert Breer said this morning that Wes Welker will play versus the Colts today. However, because of his ankle injury, I don't think Welker is a WR1 today.
-- Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is active despite a lower back injury. Maclin always seems to be hurt, but he's a nice WR3 today against the Redskins.
-- Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe is active. He was listed on the injury report with a thigh bruise, but he'll play his usual role. Also, Brady Quinn is active for KC, but Matt Cassel will get another start.
-- Packers running back Alex Green is active after being listed a probable with a knee injury. The bigger problem for him is James Starks as it looks like Starks will get the majority of the carries in today's game versus the Lions. However, he is only a flex option. Green should be on your bench.
-- In other Packers news, Jordy Nelson is active, as expected. He's over his hamstring and ankle injuries. Get him into your lineups.
-- Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss is active. He's purely a last-resort WR3.
-- One more late-game note: Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall is fully expected to start tonight against the Ravens. But since he, Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer will all be getting a decent amount of work, I don't think you can really trust any of them in this favorable matchup. Mendenhall's your guy if you have to start one, but he's nothing more than a flex.
-- Tony Gonzalez and Harry Douglas are active for the Falcons. Obviously, you're starting the former. The latter is very hit-and-miss, but he could see more playing time depending upon game flow and the status of Julio Jones' injured ankle.
-- Brandon Weeden and Trent Richardson, both listed as probable, are active for today's game against the Cowboys. Weeden, QB2. Richardson, RB1. Simple.
-- Panthers WR Steve Smith (probable, not injury related) is ready to go against the Buccaneers. That is one sweet matchup, so Smith is a solid WR2.
Fantasy Analysis:
What was a shoulder sprain with a rib injury for Big Ben quickly turned into a very serious rib injury with a shoulder injury. His dislocated rib will likely keep him out of action for at least 3-4 weeks. Byron Leftwich steps in, and that could be a big problem for the rest of the Pittsburgh passing game. Speaking of which, Antonio Brown is looking to return from his high ankle sprain in Week 13. Emmanuel Sanders will continue to start in his place, but I can't recommend him until we see if Leftwich can stay upright behind that Steelers' offensive line.
Hernandez will miss his sixth game of the season today as he is still dealing with pain in his sprained ankle. This is getting ridiculous. I don't know what it's going to take to get him healthy -- a bye back in Week 9 didn't seem to help enough -- and I have no idea when Hernandez will play again.
Vick is out for Week 11 because of a concussion. He probably won't play next week either as he has yet to even take his concussion tests. Then, once he is clear-headed again, there's no guarantee that Vick gets his job back. Nick Foles will get his first career start today. I don't think the move from Vick to Foles is cause to change the values of DeSean Jackson or Jeremy Maclin all that much. It most likely won't be a downgrade.
In other backup QB news, Jason Campbell will take over for Jay Cutler this week as he is also concussed. Campbell is not on the fantasy radar against the Niners, but I have no fear about starting Brandon Marshall at all. I am a little worried about Matt Forte. Defenses may very well give him nowhere to run for as long as Campbell is playing.
McFadden is still out with his high ankle sprain. Marcel Reece remains the Raiders' lead back, and he is a stellar RB2 today in all formats against the Saints. There have been reports that McFadden could be back in Week 12, but I am skeptical.

Why is it when I shop at some online places they remember my credit card information and at others I have to enter it new every single time? None of the settings on my Internet Explorer change when I go between places. And these sites will remember my account password.
Geoff, that is most likely a security decision made by the online store you're visiting. Some stores choose not to store information such as credit card numbers. Once your information is entered and passed on to the payment processor, it's gone from their system. If their store was ever compromised by hackers like the ones who attacked Target's files last Christmas season, your information would not be there for crooks to steal.
Many users find it more convenient not to have to enter a long string of numbers plus an expiration date and a security code each and every time they shop, but others appreciate the security. My mother-in-law, for example, always tells the customer service rep when she places her order over the phone that she does not want the company to store her credit card information for future purchases.
Whether you prefer more security or greater convenience is up to you.

IMO accuracy is more on the shooter when it comes to handguns. I make smiley faces on targets with my $500 glock 17 for instance, but thats just me. Theres a funny line in the movie Dawn of the Dead (1976) "The only person who could miss with this gun is the sucker with the bread to buy it." -Peter. I don't think buying an really expensive gun is going to be the key to accuracy any of the major lines like Sig, Glock, S&W are legit for accuracy.
G34 would be my recommendation


text: Off of the top of my head, all I could come up with was: Ron Murray? Juan Dixon? I guess Memo was an All-Star last year but... All in all, I don't think that we've been burned too bad by ex-Pistons. It's not like Primoz Brezec went on to become a 20-10 guy and get a shoe named after him.

When Sally Field was cast in Lincoln opposite Daniel Day-Lewis as his first lady, Mary Todd Lincoln, the pair of Oscar winners engaged in a very modern aid to building their relationship - texting.
''We met only once before filming began but he and I had been texting each other - he started it, not me,'' the 66-year-old film and TV veteran admits with a smile.
''He would send me things like little limericks or notes out of the blue, and we began to build a thread of intimacy. But we texted each other totally in character, so that was very hard … to figure out how to use that vernacular, the way they spoke back then, and I would sometimes just be tortured over how I would respond to him!''
The Steven Spielberg-directed drama focuses on the final four months of President Abraham Lincoln's life in 1865, when he tried to end the American Civil War and pass the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery. Field portrayed the woman who had married him at 23, convinced he would one day become president, but had since lost two of their four children before adulthood (another would die of pneumonia in 1871), sending her into a downward spiral that created a complicated relationship for the pair.
Field first became famous at 21 in the TV series The Flying Nun and won two Oscars, in the films Norma Rae (1979) and Places in the Heart (1984). Her best-known films include Sybil, Smokey and the Bandit, Mrs Doubtfire, Steel Magnolias and Forrest Gump, and she also won an Emmy in 2007 for her role in the TV series Brothers and Sisters.
Spielberg first considered her for the role in 2005, when he planned to make Lincoln with Liam Neeson, but seven years later he told her he had doubts about her playing opposite Day-Lewis, who was 10 years her junior when Mary was actually a decade younger than her husband. ''So I begged him to test me, and Daniel flew in and tested with me,'' she recalls.
''I was determined over everyone's dead body … because by then I'd been learning about her for many years and knew what a fascinating woman she was, and Steven and Daniel called me together that night and said, 'Will you be our Mary?'''
Field, a mother of three and grandmother of four, admits it's tough in Hollywood if you are a senior citizen. ''The ageism is just dreadful, as if women have no value after childbearing age. I just say, 'This is what I am', and I'm going to age because that's what I'm supposed to do, so I try to stay as healthy as I can and then find roles that really talk about being an older woman.''
GENRE Biographical drama.
CRITICAL BUZZ The film is a must-see movie - more for Daniel Day-Lewis's Oscar-calibre performance than whether you care about American history or not. Nominated for 12 Oscars.
STARS Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones.
DIRECTOR Steven Spielberg.
RELEASE Thursday.

During the fiscal-cliff debate this fall, Geithner will keep a steady focus on when to pursue an increase of the debt limit, with the goal of staving off a repeat of the panicked market upheavals that caused the Dow to plummet 600 points the last time around.
"Geithner's role is going to be to ride shotgun on the debt limit and make sure that everybody is sufficiently alarmed about that," said Robert Bixby, director of the Concord Coalition, a nonpartisan advocate for responsible fiscal policy. "And that would help bring a negotiation to a conclusion."

On January 29th, sometime 11:00pm, unknown suspects entered the business, Painting with a Twist, 3670 Harden Blvd by going through an access point on the roof. Once inside this business, the suspects cut a hole in the drywall and entered Midas Jewelers, 3666 Harden Blvd. After gaining access into Midas, the alarm was disabled and the suspects gained entry into the safe. An undetermined amount of jewelry was stolen from the safe and display cabinet. An inventory is being conducted at this time and there is no estimated dollar amount available.
Detectives and Crime Scene Technicians processed the scene of both businesses and the rooftop collecting evidence. Anyone with information should contact Det. Neal Robertson at 863-834-6971.

Debating over a '12 Tiguan with the A/T or '12 Passat TDI with the DSG. I don't know much about the DSG but know the Tiguan's are having big problems with shift logic that owners are hating. We have an 09G in an '05 Beetle that has given us LOTS of fit's with it's tempermental valve body. Right now, it's working okay.
I would like to know, between the two, which type of trans should hold up better? I am under the assumption that the DSG is just a manaul gearbox with a fancy clutch and shifting system. To me, it would seem that the DSG construction would hold up better over time than an A/T with the clutch packs and valve bodies and such. Right now we're leaning towards the Passat TDI with DSG, that's why I posted in this forum. I read about a lot of issues with the DSG as well, are these issues with the same gearbox that is in the B7 Passat or is it a different/updated unit?

WTB: Ben Pearson Pathfinder 40-50# Limbs
I bought my son a Ben Pearson Pathfinder with 25-37# limbs. I found that the bow can be upgraded in 10# increments so I figured it was a good purchase since it could grow with him. Well, now that he is ready for more weight, I cannot find limbs. I have visited and/or called 4-5 dealers and no luck. Does anyone have any used limbs in this weight?
If not, I'm going to sell the bow to give another kid a great starter bow.

Invitation to all of a pure heart
nah red, the email address they left is not being responded to. I do presume they decided to just go smoke some more pot instead of building the boat. oh well. :

Invitation to all of a pure heart
Ahoy Light People and other defenders of de light and de silly loking people connected with the original post. Ye look like a bunch of goofy twits and so does dis floating barge.Wot in de heck would ye do in a real blow? As for arguing wit Jeff you''d be wise to mind your silly manners and listen. The original point and the technical point were correct your nuts so leave it at that and go away! Pirate of Pine Island.
Invitation to all of a pure heart
That is precisely the point that I was trying to make. Those kinds of numbers are exactly what I was talking about experiencing in the smaller boats. Tacking through 100 degrees with 5 degrees of leeway, in other words 110 degrees made good, is worse than really dismal pointing ability, especially in those kinds of windspeeds, that sized boat, and at those kinds of extremely slow speeds. While you might tolerate that kind of worse than poor performance offshore, in a confined situation with perhaps a knot or two opposing tide running (which was often the case where I was sailing Wharrams), and given the difficulty in tacking a Wharram reliably and without losing huge amounts of distance to leeward, you would be hard pressed to actually be able to actually make distance to windward.
While I understand that Wharrams are not race boats, to put this in perspective, when I compare the Pahi 63''s performance to a 20 year old 38 foot performance monohull cruiser that was also intended to go offshore in heavy conditions, these numbers are silly. (Using my own boat only because I know these figures from experience) In 18 to 20 plus knots of wind, my boat typically tacks through something approaching 80 degrees and the GPS seems to suggest that it makes something less than 90 degress made good between the tacks, while moving at between 8 and 9 knots. When you add in that no distance to leeward is made on the tacks, this make a very big difference in a confined situation such as beating out a river or clearing a headland or reef.
It just seems that if someone is going to spend the kind of money that it takes to build any 63 foot multihull, then they should at least try to build a design that has decent sailing characteristics.
Invitation to all of a pure heart
As I said earlier in this thread, I have no experience with Wharram boats.
However, the Wharram web site sells reprints of some of his magazine articles. In one of them (Practical Boat Owner, "Nomads of the Wind," October 1994) he describes measurements recorded on Gaia with B&G instruments of true and apparent wind angles and windspeed, and of speed through the water with a "sensitive" log, and using a Sony GPS for position finding. Among the figures given are these:
In true wind speed of 18-22 knots at 50 degrees true wind angle, making 5 degrees leeway with staysail and single reefed fore (Gaia is schooner rigged with equal sized fore and main), Gaia made 6-7 knots through the water. Not racing boat performance, but the Pahi 63 was designed for comfortable cruising. It does go to windward.
In another article reprint ("Going Dutch") Wharram mentions that on one of Gaia''s cruises, two women were at all times able to hoist or reef the main and fore [474 square feet each] without use of winches.
"Letters From James" are posted on the web site. In the April 2002 letter he describes Gaia''s condition at hauling for its ten year refit (it was launched in 1992). He says most dockwalkers still take the boat for being a GRP boat [that seems to be taken for a compliment], after 50,000 miles sailing including an around the world voyage. Although he goes off on short-lived and expensive electronic gear, the boat itself comes off as being in virtually new condition, with no structural or cosmetic problems. He says that Gaia has beat to windward in gale force winds for days and weeks at a time.
It doesn''t sound to me like the Pahi 63 fits within the generalities made about Wharrams in this thread. From what I''ve read in Wharram-related forums and the PCA magazine, some people have problems after launching getting the boats to perform up to expectations. Those who persevere seem to overcome problems and are happy with their boats. Of course those who give up on the boats aren''t likely to be visiting those forums. Overall, correspondents seem quite satisfied and happy to be Wharram sailors. About like my experience with monohulls and beginning monohull sailors.
Invitation to all of a pure heart
I would not call it zero experience with the design in question, but I would say that I based my comments on my direct experience with the quality of Wharram''s design work as compared to the claims regarding them. I know that he has a strong following as well as a probably equally long list of detractors who owned or sailed a Wharram and was not favorably impressed with them. Have you had direct experience that controdicts my experience with these boats? I would love to hear a counter point.
Invitation to all of a pure heart
Based on zero experience with the particular design in question?
Invitation to all of a pure heart
I do have experience with smaller Wharram and have sailed on a couple of them, and even had use of a small one after helping the owner put it back together again. They were next to impossible to tack reliably, they did not point at all, and for all of the hoopla about their supposed speed, they were generally slower than the monohulls that were passing us except in a moderately high breeze (12-15 knots) and then only when on a beam to broad reach. Both of the aka to ama connections that were supplied with the drawings were unreliable requiring frequent repair and maintenance.
In the end the hulls of the boat that I had use of were converted to the outer hulls of a moderately successful trimarran. Because of the construction details of the Wharram, these hulls rotted out quite quickly and were replaced with lighte weight tortured plywood hulls that greatly improved performance when pressed in a breeze.
Based on my experiences with Wharram Cats, I would say that the broad generalities were right on target.
Invitation to all of a pure heart
It ain''t necessary to apologize to me; I didn''t design the boat. Just making the point that generalizations are just that and applying them to specifics, a specific boat design in this case, leaves you wide open if you don''t know for a fact that the particular design fits the generalization. By definition all generalizations are often false, and I believe these particular generalizations to be false when applied to the Pahi 63 design.
My position is not based on personal experience with any particular multihull design, but from reading accounts by people who have built and/or sailed Wharram''s designs including the Pahi 63. My only building experience is with skiffs and dinghies, and my sailing experience is almost entirely on cruising monohulls.
The James Wharram Designs website I referred to doesn''t carry much specifics, but you can order their design catalog, study plans, etc. from the website. That''s how they make some of their money. When you order study plans they usually include reprints of published sailing and cruising accounts by amateur builders, and of course you get plenty of Wharram hoopla.
I first became aware of Wharram''s catamaran designs in the early seventies and thought they looked goofy as hell and couldn''t possibly perform any better than the generalizations you made. I ignored them until a year or two ago, and since then have studied them a bit, including three different study plans and included stories. I regularly visit the discussion forums at wharram.com and themultihull.com. I also get the quarterly Seapeople mag (see pca-seapeople.org).
Since the sixties and seventies those same weird looking designs and the later models (and they keep coming) have established a fine cruising record for safety, comfort, and speed relative to a cruising monohull. In a breeze most Wharram cats will sail faster then most cruising sailors would want to put up with for long on any boat. They won''t go to windward like an ACC boat, but they do go to windward, and in a breeze will go to windward fast -- based on my reading of many satisfied builders/sailors.
And I do breeze up to, don''t I? The boats are plywood and most are epoxy/glass sheathed. The earlier designs especially are designed to be easy and inexpensive to build compared to any other type of boat -- except maybe steel (in my opinion). And they all have a great safety record (did I already say that?). They''re not marina hoppers apparently. Anchor out.
I recommend to anyone seriously interested in a large ballasted plywood dory check out a large nonballasted plywood catamaran. I believe a Wharram cat would be more efficient on any point of sail, and more comfortable. Cost would probably be close if the dory''s ballast was lead -- trading off the ballast for an extra hull -- but I haven''t researched it. You get lots of deck space on a Wharram cat, but the belowdecks volume would take some getting used to. Wharram''s study plans include a materials list.
Invitation to all of a pure heart
I appologize for the barge comment, it was uncalled for. However when I made the sweeping generalizations, both were reletivley well researched. While some catamarans, and some gaff rigged boats do point, most do not do so well.
Have you built or sailed one? Just out of curiousity, so I know what we''re comparing it to, what was the cost to build? Does it compare favorably with other boats (both multi or mono) of the same LOA? LWL?
And finaly, I went back and thouroughly reread the site. It speaks of the evils of computers, and modern urban living. it speaks of the beauty and simplicity of the sea, and it has alot of pretty pictures of the boats, but as far as hard numbers, or even profile and layout shots, I didnt see a single one, so I do feel that some very vital information realy isnt shown on the site. But perhaps I was looking in the wrong places. If so, please direct me to the proper site, as I have eagerly followed the "Badgers" built by people with similar philosophies, but there seems to be a bit more hard facts for those. But once agian, I may not be looking in the right places.
-- James
Invitation to all of a pure heart
When you''re going to apply sweeping generalities to a specific boat you really ought to make a bit of an effort to learn more about the boat than you have.
James Wharram''s Gaia (built to his Pahi 63 design) is reported by those who have sailed on her to be very comfortable, and when thrills become more important than comfort (though the boat was designed for cruising with a dozen or 15 people) it can be sailed faster than any boat approaching its cost.
And it does sail to windward, as well as any monohull costing twice as much to build I reckon, and with a lot more comfortable motion. There is a lot of information available to those interested in the facts, rather than maintaining a particular bias, at James Wharram''s website -- wharram.com
Have fun.

How not to attribute climate change
To show that the equation is close to blowing up (being "ill-defined") their exercise can be repeated for the differences between 19th and 18th centuries (which was not done in the SW paper). A simple calculation for the 19th and 18th centuries is quickly and easily done using results from their table 1 and figures 1-2: A back-of-the envelope calculation based on the 19th and 18th centuries suggests that the transfer functions now would yield an increase of almost 1K for the period 1900-2000, most of which should have been realized by 1980! One problem seems to be that now the reconstruction based on solar activity increases faster than the actual temperature proxy. That would be difficult to explain physically (without invoking a negative forcing).
The SW paper does discuss effects of changes in land-use, but only to argue that the recently observed warming in the Northern Hemisphere may be over-estimated due to e.g. heat-island effects. SW fails to mention effects that may counter-act warming trends, such as irrigation, better shielding of the thermometers, and increased aerosol loadings, in addition to forgetting the fact that forests were cut down on a large scale in both Europe and North America in the earlier centuries. Another weakness is that the SW analysis relies on just one paleoclimatic temperature reconstruction, but using other reconstructions is likely to yield other results.
Looking at the SW curves in more detail (their Fig. 2), one of the most pronounced changes in their solar-based temperature predictions is a cooling at the beginning of the record (before 1650), but a corresponding drop is not seen in the temperature curve before 1650. It is of roughly similar magnitude as the increase between 1900 and 1950, but it is not discussed in the paper. As in their earlier papers, the solar-based reconstructions are not in phase with the proxy data. However, SW argue that by using different data for the solar irradiance, the peaks in 1940 (SW claim it is in 1950) and 1960 would be in better agreement. So why not show it then? Why use lesser data?
The curves in Figure 2 (Fig. 2 here shows the essential details of their figure) of the SW paper suggests that their reconstruction increases from -0.4 to 0K between 1900 and 2000, whereas the the proxy data for the temperature from Moberg et al. (2005) changes from -0.4 to more than +0.6K (by rough eye-balling). One statement made both in the abstract of the SW paper and the Discussion and Conclusions (and cited in the senate hearing) is that «the sun might have contributed to approximately 50% of the total global surface since 1900 [Scafetta and West, 2006 – an earlier paper this year])». But the figure in the SW paper would suggest at the most 40%! So why quote another figure? The older Scafetta and West (2006) paper which they cite is discussed here (also published in Geophysical Research Letters), and I'm not convinced that the figures from that paper are correct either.
There are some reasons to think that solar activity may have played some role in the past (at least before 1940), but I must admit, I'm far from convinced by this paper because of the method adopted. It is no coincidende why regression is a more widely used approach, especially in cases where many factors may play a role. The proper way to address this question, I think, would be to identify all the physical relationships, and if possible set up the equation with right dimensions and with all appropriate non-linear terms, and then apply a regression analysis (eg. used in "finger print" methods). Last week, we discussed the importance of a physical model in making attributions because statistical correlations are incapable of distinguishing between forcings with similar trends. Here is an example of a paper that has exactly that problem.
There is also a new paper out on the relationship between galactic cosmic rays and low clouds by Svensmark. We will write a post on this paper shortly.

Crested Butte Getaway Information
Crested Butte has become so associated with the "extreme" scene in the past decade that would-be visitors might not be aware of the mountain's excellent intermediate terrain. The word itself conjures up images of a hard-charging atmosphere in which people play hard and party hard. Well, that may be true at times, but Crested Butte-the mountain and the town-have a gentler side. The laid-back locals might like wild untamed terrain but the town they live in is authentically Western and about as far removed from frenetic urbanism as one can get.
The resort is a little harder to reach than those along the I-70 corridor But it's just over 30 miles from the Gunnison/Crested Butte Airport, which now has winter jet service, and by no means isolated.
The mountain rises dramatically from the surrounding plain, lending credence to the extreme moniker. But a peek at the trail map tells a different story. About 45 percent of the terrain is rated green or blue. The Gold Link and the new East River high-speed quad serve predominantly intermediate terrain-some ten trails in all-and there are even longer cruisers of the Paradise Express quad. All told there are 340 acres of intermediate terrain.
Beginners have a number of good, long runs to enjoy, but may find the green circle stuff a bit steep. In other words, never-evers should take lessons and stick to the Peachtree lift. The majority of beginner terrain is accessible from the Keystone Express quad, with Houston probably the easiest green after the learning terrain. If you're unsure, take one of the mountain's free tours, available at all ability levels.
Single black diamond terrain is concentrated off the Silver Queen lift, where the runs are long and often bumped-up. But the best skiers and riders head to the double diamond bowls and glades. Get there by turning right off the Silver Queen lift (for one area) or turn left and drop down a bit to the High Lift to access a second area. The greatest expanse of truly difficult terrain requires riding the North Face lift, from where you can drop or traverse into areas that, while named, have myriad lines. All these steep lines require a good amount of natural snow to provide decent cover, and so are better later in the season.
A 400-foot long, 17-foot deep, half pipe with 85-degree walls and the DC terrain park can be found off the Paradise Express lift. There is also the Keystone jib park and the Painter Boy terrain park as well as various jumps, rails and bonks in locations all over the mountain

If you want to see some good soccer, New Berlin West will be hosting the first Mike Dillett Memorial Invitational on Friday and Saturday.
The Invitational will include a some talented teams - Madison West, which is third-ranked in state, Verona, honorable mention in state, Eau Clare Memorial (2010 Division 1 State Semifinalist), Bay Port, Fox Valley Lutheran (2010 Division 2 State runner-up), Plymouth (2010 Division 2 State Semifinalist), Hartford, and the host Vikngs. The tournament begins on Friday at 2:30 p.m. with Eau Claire Memorial vs. Fox Valley Lutheran and Bay Port vs. Verona.
Madison West squares off against Hartford and Plymouth faces New Berlin West 4:15 p.m.Saturday's game times are set for 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
For those of you who didn't Mike Dillett was the former New Berlin West Boys and Girls Varsity Soccer coach who passed away Dec. 21, 2009 presumably from the effects of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a brain disease he was diagnosed with just weeks before his death.
Ryan Otten, the current Vikings coach, had some wonderful things to say about Dillett.
"Mike was a passionate and religious man who warmed the hearts of everyone who came in contact with him. Moreover, not only was he a successful business and family man for many years, but he was a soccer man nearly his entire life."
Mike's soccer career began in 1966 at Pius XI High School. In 1969 he joined the newly formed Milwaukee Kickers. His love of and dedication to soccer was acknowledged in 2008 when he was inducted into the Kicker Hall of Fame. He began coaching soccer at New Berlin West High School during the 2000-01 school year.
"His coaching style drew players closer to the sport," Otten said. "A very composed and calm game coach, he taught his players about sportsmanship and the love of the game. Mike believed in teaching his players about the one thing he epitomized: character."
As Head Varsity Coach of New Berlin West High School from 2000-2009, he not only taught the game but became a mentor of life both on and off the field.
"Not only did Mike experience success with numerous conference championships and a trip to the State Tournament but he will most often be remembered for the integrity to which he approached each game," Otten told me.
"His firm handshake, broad smile and laughter will forever echo in the memories of those who have been blessed enough to call him Father, Friend, & Coach."
He leaves behind his wife Linda, 12 children and 12 grandchildren.

text: Im gonna be back in Camp Pendleton/San Diego for some R&R in November. Stuck in afghanistan now. Planning on getting one maybe two days, if the wife allows it, to do some hunting. Probably looking at going for quail but maybe ducks at lake Henshaw. Anyone know if the quail season is going to be any good this year? I used to have a good spot for them, but last year it was no good. Im hoping there has been some rain to bring the population back up. Well, hopefully if the wife hasn't got my dog too fat and if the population is good it might be a good hunt. Any other suggestions and has anyone heard what the quail and waterfowl outlook is going to be like this year? Any help is appreciated.

Do you have your shirt on? - Adam Dunn to Marty on the Bananna Phone.
I remember awhile back in the middle of the season Brantley and Marty talking about this situation. Brantley made the comment that there may be a contract on the table waiting for him to sign it and hes just waiting until the season ends to do so. Ive never been a Duisty hater and have for the most part thought he does a good job with this group of guys. Id take him for 2 or 3 more years as long as hes healthy. This group of guys responds so well to him if he doesnt come back we better get a "players manager".

-Beano Cook
Another posiibilty that wouldn't surprise me, if Baker should decide to step down, is Bryan Price. The Reds already have his replacement in place with Mack Jenkins serving as assistant pitching coach. Price slides in to the top spot, Jenkins becomes the pitching coach and maybe Corky slides into Jenkins current role (and mentors Mes as well). Nobody really knows, but it just seems like Price is the organization's choice (IIRC he was Walt's only hire among the current staff) and adding Jenkins to the mix to assume some of Price's duties may be a move to free Price for bigger and better things. Just reading the tea leaves and that could be way off base, but its fun to speculate.
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
Once again, I think Reds fans are used to some very inexpensive, ineffective choices. Thankfully, Walt and Bob don't see it that way. Or don't seem to.
The decision to hire Dusty was a realization that you need a proven baseball manager, or if not someone with lots of baseball experience and high aptitude.
I really doubt they will name David Bell as manager of the Reds if a change is made this off-season.
Frankly, I doubt Speier gets the job. Price is more intriguing, he's a possibility. From what I can tell, Price is a very smart, experienced, and able coach.
But mostly, I think the Reds will seek out a proven manager, someone Walt knows from his former life, and simply insist that he keeps some of the Reds better coaches, like Price.
I hope Dusty returns, but if not, look probably for a guy with managerial experience with whom Jocketty has a relationship and who will work with Bryan Price. And look perhaps for David Bell to join the major league coaching staff.
If Dusty doesn't come back - maybe he's wooed back to LA - I fear the Reds will go the Jim Tracy or Bobby Valentine route.
I still say try to lure a guy like Bud Black away from his current job.
If that's not an option, I'd look to Mike Hargrove, Dave Martinez, and Don Wakamatsu.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
The Reds will be fine either way if Dusty stays or leaves, but please oh please make sure Bryan Price stays here! The pitching staff is the driving reason why the Reds are so good right now, and Bryan Price is a key reason the pitching staff is so good. Keeping him should be the front office's highest priority this offseason.

Social Enterprise and Nonprofit Clinic
Clinic students present a legal work shop providing entity choice to entrepreneurs
at The Hive 2.0 in Anacostia.
About the Clinic
The Social Enterprise & Nonprofit Law Clinic at Georgetown University Law Center offers free corporate and transactional legal services to social enterprises, nonprofit organizations, and select small businesses in Washington, D.C. Through the Clinic, law students learn to translate theory into practice by engaging in the supervised practice of law for educational credit. The Clinic's goals are consistent with Georgetown University's long tradition of public service. The Clinic's goals are:
- Teach law students the materials, expectations, strategies, methods, and lexicon of transactional lawyering, as well as an appreciation for how transactional law can be used in the public interest.
- Represent D.C.-based social enterprises and nonprofit organizations in corporate and transactional legal matters.
- Facilitate the growth of social enterprise in the D.C. area.
What is Social Enterprise?
A "Social Enterprise" offers:
- Internal Positive Impact in the way the business or organization operates, treats employees, engages in production, selects materials and other factors of production.
- External Positive Impact in what the business or organization contributes to the environment, the communities in which it operates, and/or humanity.
- Legal & Ethical Accountability in the business or organization's incorporation documents, mission statements, stated values, and governance policies and practices.
Social Enterprises generally:
- Apply entrepreneurial approaches to addressing social, environmental, and human justice issues.
- Have a primary purpose beyond making money for individual owners and investors.
- Set as a primary goal improvement of the environment, humanity, and/or community.
For examples of social enterprise, read these legal case studies developed by Georgetown Law students on behalf of Ashoka, a global nonprofit organization that supports social entrepreneurs.
For Students
The Social Enterprise & Nonprofit Law Clinic gives law students the opportunity to learn the theory, skills, and practice methods of transactional lawyering through reflective, supervised practice for organizational clients. Students learn how transactional law can be used in the public interest.
For Potential Clients
The Social Enterprise & Nonprofit Law Clinic serves social enterprises (see above definition) that are unrepresented given the high cost of legal services; nonprofit organizations and foundations working in a wide range of fields (including health, social services, education, youth development, technology, food safety and security, sustainable agriculture, and civil rights); and select small business.

Initial thoughts on a brand-new CTS-V Wagon
So my dream car is finally here!! (banana doing pelvic thrusts):
OBM, 6 MT, graphite wheels,normal calipers, no sunroof.
A couple of thoughts on the initial experience so far...
- the salespeople seemed really excited by the car. I had at least 4 guys at the
dealership come up and congratulate me, and all four said when they heard about
the Opulent Blue Metallic and dark wheel combo, they weren't sure, but loved it
once they saw it. I think its their first (and last) Vagon in a long time.
- I negotiated pretty hard with the dealer, and made it clear I didn't want any add
ons or upsells at the signing, just the final price. I am NOT gonna pay a lot for
this muffler!!! They were actually very pleasant, and the only thing they offered
was wheel and tire insurance. Any non-wear and non-scuff damage to wheels
and tires, $600 for 5 years. I took it, figuring any damage to a Michelin
Pilots Sport or a wheel are worth close to that.
- I got a $1500 conquest discount for non-GM owners, so that was a nice surprise
- I know there is a lot of debate, but there is a GM-recommended break-in protocol.
Under 4000 RPM for first 1500 miles, and vary speed and easy on the brakes.
I know this has been discussed ad nasuem, but I will have to trust GM's engineering expert
recommendations rather than what some guy on the internets told me to do.
- I didn't know it has reverse gear lockout while in motion. While sitting in the garage
and playing with the gearshift (and also getting high off the new car smell), I was
having dark visions of throwing it from 4th into reverse on a track , and birthing the
transmission out onto the tarmac. Not to worry, as I figured out during the break in.My
other cars all had dog-leg or push down on the gearshift for R.
- the clutch uptake is a lot more sensitive than other MT cars. You really
have to catch it within about an inch or so, or look like a noob. I assume this will get
better as it wears in
- I have skinny feet, but I find it hard to heel-and-toe with this pedal setup. Seems more
like the setup you'd expect on an auto transmission
- this car is vewy vewy quiet
- Not a fan of the electronic parking brake
- complaining about poor gas mileage in a car with this kind of performance is like
inviting your fat super-fun buddy over for the weekend and complaining he drank all
your beer and ate all your food. Its expected, and part of the whole deal.
Overall, I am enjoying it, but can't wait until the break-in period is over.
Re: Initial thoughts on a brand-new CTS-V Wagon
I like everything about this post. Except the lack of pictures. PICTURES.
Definitely stick to the break in period, if not for the engine then definitely for the rear diff. Just take it easy for the first 1500 miles, let everything settle.
Other than that, welcome to the wagon club. Check out this thread, me and FLTRI had a little wagon-fest last Sunday. The CTS-V wagon is one of the all time great grand touring cars.
Congrats and welcome aboard! Love the OBM.
Great write up but you missed the most important part.
Where's the pics?

Re: Initial thoughts on a brand-new CTS-V Wagon
All agreed and many of same impressions when I first got mine. The E break grew on me and I actually really like the auto unlock feature - great for hill starts with the 6MT. As for break in, I suggest it's more for the diff than the motor, but never hurts to be too careful...the next owner will appreciate it!!!

Re: Initial thoughts on a brand-new CTS-V Wagon
I just had my dealer change the diff oil on my 1 year service (I had about 1600 miles on the car). There is a TSB out for this car (and others for that matter) on the rear diff. The TSB says if you notice any slight chatter or groaning, to change the rear fluid. I would do that after the break in if I were you....just listen "real carefully" and you will hear a "slight chatter" on launch, and you will get your diff oil changed for free. Good way to get the break in oil out with the slight metal shavings from the break in of the diff.
No roof, M6 wagon club member as well.

Re: Initial thoughts on a brand-new CTS-V Wagon
I was shopping for OBM, but then decided to go w/Plum... I still sometimes have that weird vibe in my gut that maybe OBM would have been the right choice. I am waiting anxiously for the Vagon to arrive, so I can stop salivating. Thanks for posting your pix and enjoy.
FWIW, I was considering getting a 2013 Vagon with 2,200 miles on odo that came out of Bondurant school. The price was super low. By happenstance, I was at the Barrett Jackson auction a few weeks ago in Florida and they had a C7 Z06 in a booth that got auctioned for $1MM. Went over to see who was dumb enough to do THAT and ran into some guy who just happened to be some top manager from Cadillac marketing. He and I got to talking and I asked him what he thought about buying a track car for $40K with just 2,300 miles. He said he would NOT do it b/c those cars are typically abused right from the go. As in no break in, full throttle acceleration, etc. He said the motor is stout enough to handle it, but the transmission would be his worry. This was the major reason why I bit the bullet and paid $25K more (even w/GMS pricing) for new V. He also did say that this type of use every mile driven is like 20 miles worth of wear and tear.
So, long winded way of saying keep the action calm for break in.

Great write-up and nice looking car! She will be a classic someday, so try to keep it for the long haul!
Re: Initial thoughts on a brand-new CTS-V Wagon
I like OBM in the wagon body. It kind of reminds me of the C5's electron blue that came out in 2002 and I really liked that color a lot and GM sold a lot of Electron blue Vettes. Between the plum and the OBM, I would personally go OBM for that standout effect. The plum is a very stealthy color and is too understated.

There are many professionals with whom I share my name: among them a retired golfer in Warwickshire, a musician/artist in Norwich, a journalist in Houston, the Florida State Attorney … and a much-missed farmer at Brookfield Farm in Ambridge (ref. BBC Radio). I make no claim to share any of their skills, but this is where I make my own contribution to the Web.
I spend most of my time working for the W3C the technical standards body for the World Wide Web. As Data Activity Lead, I coordinate work on the Semantic Web and related technologies. My personal focus is on eGovernment and open data, and I am often involved in EU-funded projects. Previously I've been involved with online safety and mobile Web, areas in which I retain an interest.
When time and opportunity allow I represent Greek strategic Sentiment Analysis company i-sieve Technologies. I work from home in Ipswich (that's the original one in Britain, not one of the various towns around the world in places like Massachusetts and Queensland that share the same name). Apart from when I'm travelling to conferences and such like, this makes it relatively easy to negotiate the path between work and family life.
Going back in time I have had a varied career path that has included work in local radio, advertising and countryside conservation. If you want the full gory details please see my CV or there's the short version. The diary gives a good feel of what I'm up to at any given time.

I've been mounting birds for 45 years. Yeah, pretty much old school, but it worked. I'd done a few ducks and other waterfowl here and there, but never really cared to because of all the extra work. But in the two years I've been reading this forum and picking up tips, my interest in waterfowl has really been rejuvinated! A special standing ovation for Dux, the Waterfowler and of course Pete. And all the others who've contributed tips and tricks that have made mounting waterfowl so much easier.
Following Pete's instructions and a little "backyard ingeniuity, I built a fleshing wheel. This single machine has simplified the fleshing process so much that mounting waterfowl is a breeze. The old scrapers, scissors and scalples are in the trash, for the most part. And the hair dryer trick saved a ton of work! (I don't have a tumbler, nor the inclination to build one when the wife's hair dryer is easily "stolen" )
Like Pete always says, there's more than one way to skin a cat, but learning all these new methods has been fun and helpful.
Thanks again!

Canisius College head golf coach Todd Hummel announced today that David Berkun (Getzville, N.Y./Williamsville North) and Cory Cullen (Buffalo, N.Y./St. Francis) will join the Golden Griffin program for the 2013-14 season.
Berkun was a four-year letterwinner for the Williamsville North Spartans and he served as a team captain during his senior season. Berkun earned all-state honors in the spring of 2013 after he tied for 10th at the New York State boy's golf championship in Ithaca, N.Y., with his two-round score of 154. He was also awarded with the Section VI Sportsmanship Award. The Williamsville North team went undefeated during the 2012-13 season, earning the ECIC North Large School championship while also collecting the ECIC Team title and the Williamsville Cup.
Berkun also earned two varsity letters as a varsity basketball player at Williamsville North. In his senior year, he averaged 12 points per game and knocked down 46 3-point field goals, while shooting 41 percent from 3-point range. He participated in the 2013 International Junior Masters Tournament, the oldest international junior golf invitational in North America.
Cullen earned four varsity letters as a member of the golf team at St. Francis High School and he closed out his scholastic career by placing second at the Monsignor Martin Athletic Association Tournament, which qualified him for the 2013 New York State Catholic Boy's Golf Championship in Pleasant Valley, N.Y. A two-time First-Team All-Catholic selection, Cullen was also honored for his work in the classroom as he was named a Western New York Ad-Pro Scholar-Athlete. He earned three varsity letters as a member of the boy's basketball team at St. Francis, where he averaged 14.1 points and 3.5 assists per game as a senior for the Red Raiders.
Cullen also played in the International Junior Masters tournament in June. He plans on majoring in business management at Canisius.
The Canisius golf team returns four letterwinners from last year's squad, which placed fourth at the 2013 MAAC Golf Championship in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The Griffs' fourth-place finish was the program's best since 1997, and the team also won its third-straight Little 3 team championship in Sept. 2012, by defeating local rivals Niagara and St. Bonaventure.
