Chinese Data Wallops Emerging Market ETFs, Poland a Winner
Just when it was looking safe to head back into emerging-market stocks...
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) had been rallying in recent weeks--it had gained 5.1% since April 15. The data out of China was a tad, well, disappointing, and that's stopped the emerging-market comeback in its tracks.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF has dropped 1.8% today in early trading, and other emerging market ETFs are following suit. The iShares FTSE China 25 Index (FXI) has plunged 2.9%, the Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX) has plummeted 2.6% and the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped Index ETF (EWZ) has dipped 1.3%. Japan was the hardest hit with the WisdomTree Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) falling 8.2%. Among emerging-market ETFs, only the iShares MSCI Poland Investable Market ETF (EPOL) is trading higher as of 9:49 a.m.
The Wall Street Journal explains:
The preliminary HSBC China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index fell to 49.6 in May, compared with a final reading of 50.4 in April. The latest reading is in contractionary territory, as marked by a figure below 50. Anything above 50 indicates growth.
Dig deeper, and there's even more reason for pessimism, says Credit Suisse. That's because as weak as the data was, it's probably not bad enough to force China's government to take action.
That domestic demand slowdown is particularly scary. To be optimistic about China, domestic demand must pick up the slack from slowing export growth. If that's not happening, we'll be talking about hard landings soon enough. Goldman Sachs' Yu Song offered reasons to worry on Tuesday:
...retail sales data and most anecdotal evidence for 1Q suggest that growth in the broadly defined consumption space has slowed meaningfully.
Our view is that the Chinese economy did not see the kind of structural improvement many have been expecting in terms of stronger growth in consumption and in the tertiary industry. But this does not mean that the structure of the economy has worsened: in our view, the transition underway in the services sector as a result of the government's anti-corruption campaign is a long-term positive for the Chinese economy.
Get ready for an interesting summer.

Building Your Own PC
Well, here we are at the end of our computer building journey. This last and final article will explain everything else you need to know to finish creating your own computer. So, with no further ado, let's get started. You won't want to miss this last section, trust me!
Part 13
Today, we are going to go over the process of installing Windows XP. Windows XP was chosen simply because it is the most commonly used operating system today. There are several different operating systems available to you, so if you want to use a different operating system, do so at your own discretion.
Before you can start the installation process, you will need to connect your input devices and your monitor to the back of your computer. This process is easy and you may already know how to do it.
The first step is to connect your mouse and keyboard to the back of your computer. Using the picture above, you can tell it is a simple procedure. The locations it needs to be plugged into are marked on the faceplate on the back of your computer. You should have no trouble identifying the keyboard and mouse slots.
The next step will be connecting your monitor to your computer and giving both your monitor and your computer power. The connection for your monitor that is made to your computer looks like the picture below:
Depending on your monitor, you will have to either plug your monitor into one of the two slots. Hopefully, you won't need any help with plugging the monitor into the wall. After you have done that, you can turn on your monitor.
When we first started this guide and we opened up your case, there should have been a gray or black power cord sitting inside. It looks like this:
As you can see, there are two ends to this cord. One goes to an outlet in your wall and the other connects to the back of your power supply (outlined in red in the picture below).
After you have completed all of that, you are finally ready to turn on your PC.
The first thing you will see when you turn your computer on is a screen like this:
This is what you call a BIOS screen. The BIOS screen will list most of the hardware in your computer, if it is detected. If you did anything wrong in this guide, this screen will let you know about it. Okay, so going on the assumption you did everything right, the next thing you will need to do is insert your Windows XP installation CD into the CD ROM drive. The next screen you will see is one similar to this:
This screen is asking you to press any key if you want to boot up to the CD. You do, so press any key you want. Once you do that, another screen will come up labeled Windows XP Setup. If you look at the bottom of the screen, you will see that it is loading various files. It may take a few minutes for it to complete, so just be patient with it. Once it is done loading, all the necessary files you are going to need will be presented on this screen:
Since this is a new hard drive and nothing is installed on it, you are going to want to hit the Enter key to set up Windows XP. The next screen you should see is this one:
Go ahead and press Enter again. The next thing you will have to do is format the hard drive. Windows will take care of this for you after you select how you want it formatted. There may be several options, but it's best to just stick with the one highlighted below:
You can either do the NTFS (Quick) format or the normal NTFS format. It really doesn't matter. Just make sure you format it with the NTFS option. The next screen will look like this:
This process can take anywhere from five to 45 minutes. After it is all said and done, you will have to reboot your computer. This time, when it asks you to "press any key to boot to CD," do not press anything. Wait for it to bring up the Windows XP installation process.
I will leave that part for you to do on your own. Plenty of documentation comes with your copy of Windows XP to install it, so you shouldn't have any problems. There are several options that you have to configure and I can't go through the whole process for each individual configuration, so just read your documentation and you will be on your way.
Okay, the very last thing you will have to do is install all the drivers that came with your motherboard. If you look at the contents of your motherboard box, you should see a CD labeled something like "Motherboard Drivers." Insert the CD into your CD ROM. Follow the on screen instructions and you will be ready to use your computer however you want!
Congratulations! You have successfully built your very own computer. It was a long process, but you managed. This concludes our series. I hope you all have learned from this and that you will benefit from the information I've given you. I encourage you to look back on all the other sections for continued help and direction on finishing your project. You can find the other parts in the Computer Tips archive on WorldStart's Web site by searching for "Building Your Own PC." I'm glad I was able to spend this time with you all and hope to be back again in the future with other related topics!
Good luck to you and your new computer!
~ Tony Coffee

What Happened to My Fuel Economy?
You notice that suddenly your vehicle seems to be getting worse gas mileage than it did awhile back. Why? What happened?
Like with most things on your vehicle, there can be numerous problems at the root of poor fuel economy. Let's start with the simple ones and work our way to the more complicated issues:
Tires: This one's easy. Underinflated tires mean more rolling resistance (think about riding a bike with a low tire), and more rolling resistance means poorer fuel economy. Check your tire inflation at least once a month, while the tires are cold, using a good quality tire gauge. Even a pound or two of underinflation can be enough to cause problems!
Air filter: The air filter is made of pleated paper or fabric elements which pre ...[more]
How To Maintain A New Car
So you got a new set of wheels – congratulations! You're going to want to hang onto it as long as possible, so you'll want to keep it maintained as well as you can. Here are some suggestions:
First, read the owner's manual carefully and stick to manufacturer's recommendations for service intervals. There are certain things that are critical enough that failure to adhere to recommendations can void a new car warranty. Don't let that happen!
For instance, just about every manufacturer recommends synthetic oil for their engines; it provides better protection in just about every respect, and it's more stable at high and low temperatures. If your owner's manual prescribes a 10,000-mile oil change, stick with that and be sure to use the bra ...[more]
Uh Oh…My Check Engine Light Is On
So you come out to start your car one morning and the Check Engine light on the dashboard comes on…and doesn't go back off again. You can't really notice any difference in the way the car runs and drives, but it's on anyway.
What does it mean?
Since the late 80s, most engine functions have been controlled by a central drivetrain computer. This includes emissions controls, fuel metering and delivery, ignition timing, shift points and many other elements of drivability and performance. The drivetrain computer relies on information from a chain of sensors that monitor exhaust composition, camshaft position, throttle position and many other factors.
The voltage readings from any of these sensors are supposed to fall within a certain range. When ...[more]
Make Sure Your Car's Ready For Winter!
You know that winter and bad weather are coming. Is your car ready? Here's a quick checklist of things to get up to speed on:
Motor oil: Motor oil has a tendency to thicken in cold weather, making it harder to circulate to upper engine parts at startup. If you haven't ever used synthetic oil before, this might be a good time to start. The flow properties of synthetic oil are a lot more consistent, meaning it doesn't thicken in sub-freezing temperatures or thin out when it's hot outside.
Wipers: Even the best windshield wipers only last about a year. If your wipers are showing cracks or chips or losing strips of rubber, go ahead and replace them. Don't forget to refill your washer fluid reservoir…you' ...[more]

Regular, Synthetic or Blend...What Kind of Oil Do I Need?
At one time, there were only a couple of choices for motor oil. Today, that is no longer the case, and hasn't been for quite some time. Here's a quick breakdown of what you need to consider when it's time for an oil change:
- Viscosity: Viscosity is how thick your oil is, and how it retains its pour properties at various temperatures. In this respect, synthetic oil is far superior. Conventional oils will thicken in cold weather and thin out when very hot, while the viscosity of synthetic is much more uniform. Check your owner's manual -- many newer models require a thinner, lower-viscosity oil, which also helps the engine run more efficiently. Viscosity is expressed as a numerical value -- the lower the number, the thinner the oil. Many are designed to work a ...[more]
Questions You Shouldn't Be Afraid to Ask Your Auto Repair Tech
Often, drivers are mystified by how their cars actually work. It's to be expected. Even an older car is a complex machine with many sub-assemblies that all work together to move it down the road.
As a result, drivers tend to be a little intimidated by auto repair and often tend to not inform themselves by asking the necessary questions of a tech or a garage. Too often, that ends up being a big mistake. Here are some examples of the kinds of things you really should know before any auto repair work starts:
- Does your shop work on any kind of vehicle? Of course, most shops can service a product from GM, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota and the other leading makes. Some makes, however, require a lot more training and experience, o ...[more]

Fish Consumption Guidelines
Are Georgia's Fish Safe to Eat?
Yes, the quality of fish in Georgia is good.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has one of the most progressive fish testing programs in the southeast. This is not because Georgia has highly contaminated fish, but because the DNR has made a serious commitment to evaluate fish quality and provide detailed information to the people of Georgia. Review and comparison of data collected nationally on fish tissue contamination that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has assembled shows that the quality of fish in Georgia is similar to that in surrounding southeastern states.
A variety of different fish species were tested for 43 separate contaminants, including metals, organic chemicals, and pesticides. Many of these contaminants did not appear in any fish. However, two contaminants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and mercury, were frequently detected in significant amounts in a few species from some bodies of water in Georgia. Three additional contaminants, chlordane, DDT residues (DDE/DDD), and dieldrin were also detected infrequently.

text: A homer for Simpson By Doug Smock July 6, 2012 Story Share Chip Ellis Webb Simpson blasts out of a bunker on the No. 2 hole, where he saved par. He birdied No. 18 to stand alone in the lead at 9 under par. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS - If Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are just going to hand somebody the proverbial golfing torch, Webb Simpson will happily seize it.Woods, whose recruitment to the third Greenbrier Classic came with great fanfare, fell one shot short of making the cut, managing a 69 Friday to finish at an even-par 140. Mickelson did even worse, shooting his second 71 in a row to finish at 2 over par.Simpson, the U.S. Open champion, fired a solid 66, hitting a 6-foot putt for birdie on the final hole to finish with a 9-under 131. Simpson had no bogeys and four birdies, including back to back on the seventh and the difficult par-3 eighth. After a 2-hour, 25-minute thunderstorm delay, he birdied the par-5 12th and stuck his tee shot on the par-3 18th, which played at a shorter 137 yards.Having shot up to fifth in the world and ninth in the FedExCup standings, Simpson is looking for his fourth career PGA Tour victory and second in three starts. He finished one stroke back in the 2011 Classic, surging to the lead briefly in the final round.It has been three weeks since Simpson's memorable U.S. Open win, when he watched his competition falter from the clubhouse. This time around, he stole the show with 36 solid holes in front of the large pro-Woods gallery."Yeah, I mean, I just seem to enjoy playing with him," said the 26-year-old Wake Forest graduate. "He's great to play with, and he's fun and exciting. At each tournament I get a verse, a Bible verse, and kind of meditate on it, and more than anything it helps me stay calm."It's a big atmosphere out there, so I'm thankful the first two days went well."For Woods and Mickelson, it was the first time they have missed the cut in the same event as professionals. It happened at the 1993 Byron Nelson Classic, when Woods was still an amateur playing in a few pro tournaments. Woods missed his second cut of the season for the first time since 2005, and suffered a setback in his drive to retake the No. 1 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking. He missed the ninth cut in 272 starts as a professional, and missed the cut for the third time following a victory.He suffered bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes immediately after the delay, and couldn't get closer than 32 feet for a critical birdie on the par-5 17th. He would have needed to ace the 18th to make the cut."It happens, you know?" he said. "You miss cuts out here. Been doing it for a long time and I think I've missed nine cuts or whatever like that in a couple years, I guess."Mickelson missed the Greenbrier cut for the second year in a row, and did it with repeated disasters. He suffered a double bogey and two bogeys, and lost a birdie when he was assessed a penalty stroke on the 11th green. His coin slipped out of his hand when he was marking his ball, moving it.He has not played well recently, failing to break par in his last seven rounds dating back to his first-round 79 at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio. He has not missed the cut two years in a row in the same tournament since 2003-04, when he did so at the Chrysler Championship in Palm Harbor, Fla. "I really enjoy the golf course," Mickelson said. "I think it's just a wonderful test, and I have not played very well on the greens both years, but nothing that should have led to these scores." Charlie Beljan, a struggling rookie who played on a mini-tour last year, fired the best round of the day, an 8-under 62. That came after a first-round 70, and propelled him into an unfamiliar stratosphere, one stroke off the lead."Today was the best day of my career," he said. "It was wonderful from the first hole, making birdie, to the last hole I made bogey, but it still didn't matter."I shot 62, which was my career-low round out here. And then to do it on the PGA Tour - each time I tee it up out here is a treat, and then to do something like I did today is really something special."So I'm only halfway there. I look forward to the weekend. I'm sure it will be a zoo and I'm looking forward to it."Jonathan Byrd, Jeff Maggert, Jerry Kelly and Martin Flores are also at 8 under, though Flores has two holes remaining in the second round. He and 11 other golfers were still on the course when the horn blew to stop play at 8:45 p.m. due to darkness.Those golfers included West Virginia Amateur representative Jess Ferrell, who was a respectable 3 over par for the day after a first-round 80. They will return at 8:30 a.m. today to finish their rounds. The third round will follow, with threesomes going off of split tees in an attempt to end by 6 p.m., within the CBS television window.J.B. Holmes and Charlie Wi are two strokes behind the leader at 133, with Bob Estes and five others at 134. 2010 Classic runner-up Jeff Overton led a nine-man group at 135. Steve Stricker, who birdied holes No. 13-17 to make his 300th cut, leads the 136 grouping.Those at 137 include first-round leader Vijay Singh, who followed his opening-round 63 with a 4-over-par 74. The cut will not move from 1-under 139, as 77 players finished at that score or better. Greenbrier pro emeritus Tom Watson is among those making the cut, finishing at 2-under 138. He had four birdies on the front nine to put him in good position when the thunder rumbled.After the storm, he finished a back nine that contained eight pars."It actually helped me," Watson said. "Gave me a chance to get my legs back a little bit, relax a little bit. Plus I had a chance to eat good Greenbrier food out here. They spoil you here."Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

The only reliable .32 I can think of offhand is the Kel-Tec, but these will sometimes need the feedramp polished and the frame/slide mating surfaces smoothed out a bit in order to run 100%. If you don't mind taking the ten or fifteen minutes to do this, you can have a very reliable backup. There are a few others such as the Seecamp and the Beretta Tomcat, but these can at times be very problematic. The Taurus Millenium and the NAA version iare supposed to be decent, but I've not used one of these.
I have to wonder why you would pick the .32 for these purposes. They don't make good plinkers as they are expensive to feed and will not be very accurate. Some can be found in .380 in the same sized pistol, and .380 is cheaper to shoot and more powerful to boot. Also, some .32's can experience rimlock (it's a semi-rimmed cartridge), which will not happen with a .380. Anyway, not to criticize your choice, but just wanted to post food for thought.

I've been restoring my vessel for three winters now. I have been sailing it the last two summers mostly in and around Penobscot Bay, usually solo.
My prior sailing was always regional such as Lake Champlain for 4 years, Chesapeake Bay for 3 years and now the tricky coast of Maine.
None the less, I have never made a blue water trip and am planning to bring my vessel from Maine to Chesapeake this coming fall. I am currently looking for two additional crew members who have some distance under their belts and plan to have a total of three on board.
My objective is to make one push from mid coast Maine to Cape Cod canal in one shot. From there, continue south past Pt. Judith and make the inside passage into LI Sound through NYC.
Next step is Cape May, then Delaware River, C&D Canal and back to familiar waters of the Chesapeake on the way to the Rappahannock.
I've owned several boats over the last 15 years but this is still a major trip for me even though I have hundreds of hours of sailing time.
My vessel has a recent engine, recent rigging, excellent sails, Chartplotter, SSB, VHF, MOB, C.A.R.D., backup GPS, B&G instumentation, Autohelm 4000 with backup in the box, new batteries, dual bilge pumps, two whaler hand pumps, jack lines, harnesses, self inflatable life jackets, tri color mast light and a host of other stuff that came with the boat.
The question is: AM I READY? Any advise out there?
My question is how much bluewater experience and how much heavy weather experience do you have??
If you've never sailed out of sight of land.. it might be worth doing before committing to a longer voyage. Some people wig out if they can't see land... others have no problem with it.
Have you sailed in bad weather? Do you have experience reefing the sails and sailing in heavy weather? If not, I would get practice in reefing your sails and then take the boat out in bad weather, to get some experience.
The New Jersey coast can be very unforgiving and dangerous, given any heavy weather. Most of the harbors are unapproachable in heavy weather, due to the dangerous conditions at their entrances.
How good are your navigation skills... what would you do if the Chartplotter and backup GPS both went belly up??? Do you have paper charts for the areas you want to sail??
Fortunately, a Westsail 32 is a very seaworthy vessel and can take far more than most crew can. Being ready is more a mental game than a physical one... in many ways. If you have to ask, you probably aren't IMHO.
Don..welcome aboard and pay no attention to Grandma Dawg! (G) You gotta get your feet wet sometime and if you pay close attention to the weather and don't try to push anything you will be fine. You have a good boat and if you've been singlehanding a while now in fairly protected water...you know how she handles and are familiar with her nuances. I do have a couple of suggestions though.
1. Don't leave it too late. I would be heading south at the end of August rather than later.
2. Choose a more in-shore route on the first part of your trip to the Canal. The likelihood of bad weather and fog is higher there and there are plenty of places to duck in and it only adds a little to your trip if you don't have to head in to port.
3. Consider going offshore from Greenport LI to Norfolk instead of the coastal route through NYC and the Jersey coast. If you get a 3 day good weather window you can be safe and sound in Norfolk and a daysail away from the Rappahanock and have had a REAL open water passage that is not difficult. The route through LIS and Hellgate in the East River and along the Jersey coast is certainly do-able but will require more time and does not give you a true blue water passage under your belt. Of course...if you want to sight see...that is fine but with a couple of extra crew an offshore end- of- summer passage could be nice.
4. Equipment wise you've made some good preparations. Consider a radar...not just a card..you'll be in shipping lanes. Get third GPS and put it in a box with lots of batteries. I do not see an EPIRB or Liferaft on your list of equipment. What is your plan if you hit something or get knocked down and the boat starts to sink? BoatUS and other places have rentals suitable for short trips.
Good luck and welcome to the board.
I agree with Cam about going the southern route around Long Island. Unless you want to sight see dead bodies in the East River.:D It can be really crowded there with the commercial boats and very nerve racking, but very do able. We made the trip around the tip of LI to the southern shore and further many times in the late summer. As long as you get around by late september, you should be fine. It is a nice stretch of water if you avoid the storms.
About the third GPS... get one that is powered by AA batteries, and get the Energizer Photo Lithium AA batteries, and then vacuum-seal the batteries, in groups of the same size that you need to power the GPS, and then store the GPS and the vacuum-sealed batteries in a box for emergencies. The Photo Lithium batteries have about a 10-year shelf life with littel degradation in performance, and vacuum sealing them protects them from corrosion, water, etc.
Get radar if your boat has a battery bank big enough to handle the load it will generate.
If you plan on doing much bluewater sailing getting an EPIRB and registering it to the MMSI for your boat is probably a good idea. BoatUS has a rental program, but if you rent more than twenty weeks over five years, it is better to get your own, as they charge about $50 per week plus shipping, and an EPIRB is usually good for five years before it requires a battery replacement.
Hello everyone,
Thanks for the great advice and encouragement. Yes, I do have an EPIRB on board and have a 4 man coastal liferaft. I was considering getting a Garmin 76 GPS without the charts as I've heard they are a great little unit.
I do have dead reconing skills and know how to use my hand held compass to triangulate my position. I have all the paper charts from Maine to the Chesapeake. I have sailed my Westsail on the bay in 35 knot winds and have done so solo and practiced hoving to. I have a double reef main, a double reef staysail, a 110 jib on Harken roller, a Yankee, trysail, and code O.
I am pretty stuck on my departure time. I would have liked to leave in August but my wife and I run a seasonal business which continues after Labor Day but does quiet down enough for her to handle it alone.
Saying that, I will look for the first good weather window right after Labor Day. I don't have a schedule or time constraints. My intention is to look for a 48 hour weather window leaving Maine and ride a high pressure system from the north.
Good advice also on the route. A three day passage outside may be prudent to the Chesapeake Bay bridge. If weather cooperates, that would be a good alternative. Part of my desire to go inside LI sound is just the adventure of it and sight see.
I have heard from a couple of my Westsail brotheren who are willing to jump on board. Both are X Navy with years at sea and sailing experience. Both are open to as much time needed to make the voyage and can be ready within a couple days notice.
Having some apprehension is not all that bad. I have a LOT of respect for the sea. I agree that it would have been beneficial to have crewed for others to gain ocean experience but I believe I have the skills to get this trip done.
Again, thanks for your sincere comments and suggestions. I hope to see you out on the water.
PS. After getting the boat down to the Chesapeake, I will drive back to Maine, finish the business commitments, and head back down with my wife to the boat and continue to venture south for a few months.
You sound a lot better prepared than some people here have been, posting similar plans. The weather window will be tricky, given the timeframe, but really, if you have three guys on a Westsail 32, you can "give her" 24 hours a day and still get decent sleeps on a six-on/six off schedule with two people awake at any given time.
I would advise the following: Make sure you can make a PRIVATE sleeping area with strong lee cloths. You are going to have the tricky nav parts at the beginning and the end of your runs...when you are most likely to be tired and anxious.
Have your rigging examined top and bottom for weakness. If the halyard are worn, change them. If they are still good, but have a few years on them, end for end them. Have the righ properly tuned/tensioned and tape cotter pins, etc. Put lanyards and clips on certain tools like needle-nosed pliers and get some of those West Marine rigging knives...at $9/each, you can lay in a store for dropping overboard purposes...
Have your sails examined and perhaps reinforced with triple stitching and chafe pads. Make sure your reef lines WORK when needed, and have preventers and jacklines riggable in a hurry. Rig anti-chafe of your choice on the shrouds. Bring a storm jib.
Have your fuel polished and bring more in lashed jerrycans. Heavy weather moves gunk (the best thing to do would be to have the tanks cleaned out, but you probably don't have time for that!), so bring spare filters, belts, etc. You could just as easily hit 400 miles of light air and want to motor a fair bit.
If you have a furler, service it and make sure the furling line isn't worn. You are intended to ride on a starboard beam or broad reach and this will be a fast run, but you may have to reduce sail often. Make sure nothing catches or squeaks. Bring spare pins, shackle, and Allen keys you can't drop overboard!
You have the wrong boat for a fast passage, but you have the right boat for a safe passage if you get caught out. Carry double provisions and water. This means if you have to detour big time to avoid bad weather, you can head east or south (Bermuda? It's an "out"...carry a chart for it) or just hove to for 48 hours battened down if needed. Make sure your radio's in good order so you can listen to weather and can tell the Coast Guard you are fine if you have to stay out. Filing a sail plan to this end is prudent.
Lastly, if you are personally concerned with going offshore, try to crew this summer on a short passage on a similarly sized boat. That should tell you if you are up to this. Your boat sounds close to being ready as it is.
Good luck...sounds like a blast!
Hello Valiente,
Thanks for taking the time to read this thread and providing some good advise.
I am having a local rigger come by in May before launch to go over the entire rig before she gets stepped. All wire was replaced in 1999 and was stored indoors for three years before I purchased the vessel. None the less, I want someone with experience to go over the rig and running rigging to look for any problems.
Lee cloths were installed on port and starboard settees. The V birth also has lee cloths.
There is lots of spare gear on board for shackles, blocks, spare halyards. Good anchor gear with 44 pound CQR, Bruce 33, Danforth 40, and a Fortress. I also have new anchor rodes. One is 300' high tinsle 3/8" and the other is 90' 3/8 chain with 250 nylon rode. I don't have a storm jib but just had my Hood Staysail modified so it can be reefed in heavy weather.
My fuel tanks were installed new in 1999. The prior owner had these replaced when he repowered. I don't know the condition of the fuel but have run the engine about 130 hours over the last two seasons without a glitch. I just replaced my Racor filters. The vessel has two Racors per tank for a total of 4 filters. The engine is a Yanmar 4jh3e which has 56 HP on a Max three bladed prop. I have back up belts, filters, impellars and just purchased the shop manual for the engine.
I agree that my vessel is not fast but is capable of 140 mile days and has done more than that in the past with the prior owner. Actually, this vessel won the Marion to Bermuda race in 1995.
Filing the sail plan is a prudent suggestion and will be done.
Lastly, you mentioned 6 hour shifts for a three man crew. You also mentioned two men on and one man resting. Could you elaborate a bit more on that?
I am also planning a solo run from Blue Hill Bay off shore past Isle au Haut and then back to Owls Head. I won't be in sheltered waters but will be within sight of land (islands) most of the time. It will give me some feel of ocean swells and steady winds.
My sails are all recent Hood sails with triple stitching and chafe protection.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Thanks for taking the time to read this thread and providing some good advise.
Hey, you are doing what I hope to do sooner! Besides, I have a soft spot for Westsail 32s, thanks to the snarly books of Ferenc Mate.

All wire was replaced in 1999 and was stored indoors for three years before I purchased the vessel.

That's prudent. An effective date of 2002 is new enough to avoid most age and wear and tear problems, but if there's a compromised tang or swage that a dye test would reveal (and that hasn't shown itself because you weren't in offshore conditions), it's best to find it at the dock.
Lee cloths were installed on port and starboard settees. The V birth also has lee cloths.
Nice. I really believe that sleep is probably more important than fuel on passage.
I don't have a storm jib but just had my Hood Staysail modified so it can be reefed in heavy weather.
Ah, OK. Glad to hear you are cutter rigged. I am a big fan of staysails, especially if you can reef them down. Your ground tackle inventory is huge by contemporary standards: Hal Roth would approve!
I have back up belts, filters, impellars and just purchased the shop manual for the engine.
Jeez, I don't know why you are worried...you've hit about every point on my mental checklist!

Lastly, you mentioned 6 hour shifts for a three man crew. You also mentioned two men on and one man resting. Could you elaborate a bit more on that?
Here's my logic for a short but intense passage.
If the passage is three days and you have three men of reasonable stamina and skill, you have 72 hours at hand. I can't recall if you have a windvane, but let's assume conditions are such that you decide to actively steer and trim the sails.
Normally, you'd want four hour watches, but I think if you can do a six-hour watch consisting of three on deck and three below, you can have a six hour sleep for each man in a 24 hour day, plus a three hour nap on a night "dog-watch". This leaves nine "awake and available" hours, of which three are a further deck watch, and six is "light duty/reading/galley". If you have Crew A, B, and C, you stagger B's start time by three hours initially, so that A takes the first trick, B sleeps or loafs until three hours pass, and C starts with "light duty". C cooks for A and B at the three-hour mark, and relieves A at the helm, who goes below and loafs. B then becomes "the active" and available crew, and A cooks or cleans (or plots or fixes) and then retires.
Man...I think I need to draw a diagram...Anyway, the idea is basically that B is the swing shift, and will work half with A and half with C and that no one needs to spend more than three hours on deck and in charge, and of course can call for relief from whoever is "active" below without waking up the guy who is "off". This presumes, of course, that all three can cook, steer and plot...:confused:
I am also planning a solo run from Blue Hill Bay off shore past Isle au Haut and then back to Owls Head. I won't be in sheltered waters but will be within sight of land (islands) most of the time. It will give me some feel of ocean swells and steady winds.

Please post how it all goes. You have a very good start.
Hey Valiente,
I had to read the watch schedule a couple times but it makes good sense. Someone is at full rest for at least 6 hours while one is at helm and the other is standby and relaxing for three hours. It will make more sense when it's on paper.
The Westsail gets launched out of her heated barn on May 29th. I redesigned her cabin over the winter adding more storage cabinets and re working the table from fixed to bulk head mount. New bottom paint is done, zinks are replaced, Max prop is lubricated, seacocks greased, varnish finished.
One more project is to finish converting the Shipmate K-1 stove to propane. Parts are ordered. Can't wait to taste that salt water.

Refugee-farmers offer a moveable feast in Manchester
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader | July 23. 2013 9:31PM
Workers for the The Common Earth Farms farm stand sell fresh vegetables at Sweeney Park in Manchester on Monday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
Common Earth Farms is marketing the food that a handful of refugee-farmers grow on a two-acre plot in Bedford. The food is sold Monday afternoons at Sweeney Park and Wednesday afternoons at Wolfe Park.
The Common Earth Farms was launched by International Institute of New Hampshire, a Boston-based organization that helps to establish refugees in the state. About four refugees work full-time on the farm.
"I can't understand English, so I can't get a job," said Khada Niroula, 51, a refugee from Bhutan. He said the food appears to grow faster in New Hampshire than his native country.
Any customer who uses EBT food stamps to purchase produce will receive a voucher that equals the amount of their purchase, in effect doubling their purchasing power.
Currently, about 75 percent of customers are refugees.
"We're still in transition," French said. "We're hoping once it's up and running it will create more of a customer base."

I recently bought a Kahr CW9 after comparing it to the similarly-sized P9. The CW9 is an excellent pistol at a great price, I bought mine for $379. The CW9 (and the P9) fits my hand and balances much better than the PM9 I've owned for a couple of years, it's not much heavier, carries one more round and is just as slim and concealable as the PM9. The CW9"s slightly deeper grip and longer barrel handle 9mm recoil very well and it's a real pleasure to shoot during extended range sessions; the PM9 tires me more quickly. Both the PM9 and CW9 have been totally reliable, even during the initial break-in periods, and they are great pistols for CC. But, that's not the point of this posting.
The primary differences usually cited between the less expensive, "economy" CW pistols and the costlier, higher-end P guns are the more finely-finished slide, the quality and accuracy of the Walther barrel rifling and the machined-vs-MIM slide release/take down lever. All the other components, including the polymer frame assembly and magazines, are reportedly the same.
However, the prices for these three replacement parts (slide, barrel and slide-release/take-down lever) shown at the Kahr Arms website for both the CW and P series are exactly the same. The only part that costs more for the P series is the SS guide rod, it's about 7X more than the plain, blued carbon steel rod found in the CW pistols.
From everything I've read, these parts are interchangeable. But, even if they're not, the prices of the more expensive P series pistols are primarily justified by the "higher quality" parts not used in the CW series. So, what's going on here? Shouldn't these replacement parts for the P series cost more than the same ones for the CW?

I am currently preparing a workshop on implementing a blended learning approach to EFL teaching contexts. I believe most teachers are aware of the benefits of using technology beyond the classroom but I thought it might be interesting to discuss the barriers to this approach. As an EFL teacher, my own experience has highlighted potential problems such as - providing structure for independent learning, learner confidence and lack of skills, accessibility and aligning online content with in-class content. Is there anything else I should add? Have any of you experienced other problems?
Many thanks,

Re: Hipster Disguise
I see several problems with your design that will probably earn you a rejection. First, the shirt color you're using is not one offered by woot. Second, is that carrot supposed to be on the back of the shirt? Woot doesn't print front and back. Third, if that carrot is supposed to be on the shirt somewhere, there's no text. Fourth, if the carrot/text is supposed to be on the shirt, that looks like it puts you over woot's six color maximum, not to mention it looks like you're using some gradients. Fifth, your comp doesn't match your thumbnail. Your thumbnail makes it appear as if your shirt background is white, as well as the carrot that doesn't appear anywhere on the front of the shirt.

You don't--yet. Maybe later.
This Derby page has tons of shirt designs that are competing to see if they'll be printed. Anyone who's ever bought anything at one of the Woot sites can log in and vote for designs they like. The top three scorers will print next Friday through Sunday.
Ack! This is both cute and pretty, but the backwards notes are making me twitch. Which, given the nature of this particular derby, may be intentional, but ... ack!
I must own this.

Below you'll find an interview with poster/comic/zine creator Mitch Clem. There is also a Wikipedia page about him.
How did you become interested in zines?
I'd gotten into punk rock somewhere in my early teens, and, from there, the transition to zines is pretty natural. It started as would be expected, Maximumrockandroll, Flipside, Punk Planet (realizing now I'm dating myself a bit, as only one of those is even still published). But the zine that really changed things for me was Cometbus. Not even sure how specifically I got into it other than it's just sort of the ubiquitous punk-lit zine, but the first time I read it I was just floored by how much it resonated with me as a writer, and the handwritten pages instilled in me for the first time just how approachable the zinemaking process was. Even though now everything I make is comics, I still consider Cometbus a huge inspiration.
What is your favorite part of zine fests?
Oh my god you guys I've never been to one before! Since all my self-publishing to speak of has been comics, and I've made friends with some other cartoonists, we'd always just go to comic book conventions. Which, you know, doesn't really cater to anything I'm about or anything my art is about. That world's more "hey look at my drawing of an impossibly-proportioned mostly-nude woman holding a light saber in a provocative fashion" type stuff. And, I mean this in the nicest, most open-minded way possible, that shit completely fucking sucks. Eventually I made a cartoonist friend who also makes comics about punk rock and she told me to go to some zine fests or indie expos, and that I'd have a better time. And then this one happened and I got excited! Is there gonna be a ton of Star Wars stuff or what?
What new projects are you working on this year?
Right now Amanda and I are working tirelessly to finish issue #2 of Turnstile Comix, starring a very very exciting band that we're keeping secret as of right now. That is taking up ALL our time. But I have recently started curating the first issue of a project called As You Were, which is a zine comprised entirely of comics by punk rock cartoonists/comickers. Assuming everyone turns in their submissions on time, the first issue should be out soon! Aside from that, the usual stuff: I still do Nothing Nice to Say, my webcomic about punk rock stuff, with my friend and co-writer Joe Briggs, and I still do the autobiographical comic My Stupid Life with my girlfriend and watercolorerist Nation of Amanda which appears in every issue of Razorcake magazine. I also bought some wild berry Pop Tarts, which I feel like should be super amazing and exciting but really taste almost indiscernable from the cherry ones except that the icing is a way more fun color. Oh, and I started making my own cold press coffee, but I'm not gonna bring that to the fest or anything, that's just for me.
What will be on your table at this year's zine fest?
The best thing will be the debut issue of my new series, Turnstile Comix, where we adapt a band's craziest road stories into a comic book that comes with a 7″ by the band. The first issue stars Minneapolis punk rock quartet the Slow Death (featuring members of Pretty Boy Thorson and the Falling Angels and the Ergs). Issue two should be out pretty soon, though doubtfully soon enough to have for the zine fest. I also made a zine collection of some of the recent incarnation of my webcomic Nothing Nice to Say. I may also bring the Nothing Nice to Say book, but maybe not? Oh, and I made some shirts making fun of crust punks which I might bring because it's printed on organic, cruelty-free, USA union-made cotton shirts, so the crusters can't even get mad about them. It's not like they're made out of plastic bags, ya know? I'm rambling. Are you guys getting dizzy too or is that just me?
How long have you been creating zines?
I started my first zine in high school (late 90s). It was called Summer's Over. I published ten issues over the course of five years and then retired it when I eventually started doing the webcomic Nothing Nice to Say. From there it was all webcomics for a number of years, but over the past couple years I've regained a passion of actual print stuff, and have shifted most of my focus there. Boy it sure takes longer to fill a whole bunch of pages of drawings than it does to just scribble out three panels at a time a couple days out of the week! Yeesh.

Like Looking in a Mirror
Sometimes, I treat people who have the same problems I have in my personal life. It's hard. Oh, it's really hard. If I'm really distraught about something and a patient calls seeking treatment with a similar life circumstance, I will sometimes turn them away and recommend another shrink. But I don't always screen so carefully on the phone, and often "I'd like to make an appointment," will simply get a time and date.
The feelings get really complicated here.
If I feel I've had a role in creating my circumstances, then I wonder as my patients seek my counsel, Who am I to be making any suggestions, much less giving advice? Why are you looking to me, I've screwed up the same situations. Oh, you say, Dr. Jeff said on KevinMD that Psychiatrist's Shouldn't Give Advice, but you know, some of us do, and even when we don't, our feelings are often relayed through the questions we ask or the comments we make or don't make, or perhaps by the expressions on our faces, even if we don't say "You should do X." I told a friend once that I feel uneasy, guilty even, in these situations, and he replied, "How do you think I feel?" Did I mention he does family work and was in the midst of a stressful divorce? And I have yet to ask a colleague who also does family work how he managed during the years his own children wouldn't speak to him. Oy, life can be tough, for shrinks just like everyone else.
So perhaps I listen to someone talking about his most personal feelings about a situation, and you know, if I've been there before, perhaps it's good that I can empathize. If I'm in the middle of it, sometimes I listen and the patient's words seem so unreasonable, so unjustified, and yet I recognize them as being exactly my own--it's like having my own anxieties bounced off a wall only to ricochet straight back into my face.
Do I tell the patient that I've been in the same place before? Generally, no. Therapy is about his problems, not mine, and I think in these situations my empathy is clear. I say things that are more poignant and resonant than I might in circumstances where I feel removed. And patients never ask if I've been in the exact same place. On some of the harder things-- things that have no precise quick and easy answer-- I've taken to saying, "Not only don't I know what will fix this, I don't know anyone else who does have the answer." This I can say because I've done my own searching.
I hope I'm reassuring and comforting to people who find themselves in the same places I dwell. Certainly, tripping over a few stones on the path makes one walk a little more gingerly and judge a little less harshly those who walk more slowly. Mostly, though, I worry that I'm a little bit of a fraud just for being in the room.

Titans activate LB off roster exemption — 3:47 p.m.
As expected, the Tennessee Titans have activated starting SLB Gerald McRath off the one-week roster exemption they were given for him. The team had until Oct. 11 to place him back on their 53-man roster. McRath was suspended four games for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances.
Veteran OLB Jamie Winborn, who started three games in McRath's place, was released Saturday in order to make room for McRath.
McRath, who was a fourth-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft by Tennessee, is expected to return to the starting lineup on Sunday at the Dallas Cowboys.

Last week's Champions League Group Stage draw pitted Arsenal with Marseille, Olympiacos and Borussia Dortmund.
The draw signals the return of Euro Watch, our weekly check on the progress of Arsenal's European opponents in their domestic leagues.
Bayer Leverkusen 0-0 Borussia Dortmund
Saturday, August 27
Borussia Dortmund prepared to host the Gunners on September 13 with a goalless draw at Bayer Leverkusen. The visitors were reduced to ten men after 77 minutes when young midfielder Mario Gotze was shown a second yellow card. Earlier in the match the home side had seen a man dismissed when defender Michael Kadlec was shown a straight red. The result leaves the Bundesliga champions fourth in the division table after four matches.
Olympiacos P-P Kavala
Saturday, August 27
The Greek league season began in chaos with three of the 16 teams in the Super League still yet to be decided. Olympiacos' opener did not take place because opponents Kavala were relegated to the fourth division on Tuesday over a match-fixing scandal.
Lille 3-2 Marseille
Sunday, August 28
Marseille are still looking for their first win of the Ligue 1 season after going down 3-2 at Lille. Senegalese striker Moussa Sow gave the champions an early lead but Mathieu Valbuena struck twice to give Marseille the edge just after the hour mark. Aurelien Chedjou levelled within six minutes and Sow converted the winner from the penalty spot with 15 minutes left. Marseille currently sit in 16th place with three points.

Murder: an Overview
Murder occurs when one human being unlawfully kills another human being. See Homicide. The precise legal definition of murder varies by jurisdiction. Most states distinguish between different degrees of murder. Some other states base their murder laws on the Model Penal Code.
Background: Common Law Murder
At common law, murder was defined as killing another human being with malice aforethought. Malice aforethought is a legal term of art, that encompasses the following types of murder:
- "Intent-to-kill murder"
- "Grievous-bodily-harm murder" - Killing someone in an attack intended to cause them grievous bodiliy harm. For example, if a person fatally stabbed someone, even if she only intended to wound her victim, she could still be executed.
- "Felony-murder" - Killing someone while in the process of committing a felony. Note that at common law, there were few felonies, and all carried the death penalty. For example, at common law, robbery was a felony. So if a robber accidentally killed someone during a robbery, the robber could be executed.
- "Depraved heart murder" - Killing someone in a way that demonstrates a callous disregard for the value of human life. For example, if a person intentionally fires a gun into a crowded room, and someone dies, the person could be convicted of depraved heart murder.
These definitions are valuable because they inform subsequent reforms of American murder law.
The Pennsylvania Method
The Pennsylvania Method is a catch-all term for systems of classifying murder by degree. Certain, specified types of murder were first-degree murder, and carried the death penalty. All other types of murder were second-degree murder, which did not carry the death penalty.
First-Degree Murder includes:
- Willful, deliberate, and premeditated murder.
- Particularly heinous types of murder. For example, in the original Pennsylvania statute, this included poisoning and lying in wait to kill someone by ambush.
- Felony-murder, but only for certain listed felonies. For example, in the original Pennsylvania statute, the only eligible felonies were arson, rape, robbery, and burglary.
At present, most states either use the Pennsylvania Method or a similar method to categorize murder.
The Model Penal Code
The Model Penal Code moved away from the traditional common law approach to murder. Under the Model Penal Code, the following constitute murder:
- Purposefully or knowingly killing another human being. This functions much the same as the common law rule against intentional murder.
- Killing another human being in circumstances showing extreme recklessness. This functions much the same as the common law's depraved heart murder rule.
- Felony-murder. The Model Penal Code disfavors but does not eliminate applying the death penalty for killings that occur during the commission of a felony. Instead of framing the rule as a felony-murder rule, it creates a rebuttable presumption that killings that occur during the commisison of listed dangerous felonies show extreme recklessness for purposes of the code's other murder provisions.

It's interesting to read about the fear of litigation come up a few times as a reason for a landlord's refusal. That culture of litigation and fear of litigation does not (yet) exist here down under....It doesn't really make sense to me anyway. Does the landlord get sued if a tenant's dog bites the neighbour? I wouldn't think so.
Has a landlord gotten sued because a tenants dog bites a neighbor? Yes, many times here in the US.
Bernsad you are ABSOLUTELY right!!!! And it's probably more than half our problems. :(
What's the immigration policies into Australia these days ? :-D
As a person with some rental homes, I'm sure the concern of the landlord is getting sued if someone has an allergic reaction in the neighborhood. The landlord is the guy with the assets the lawyers can grab; a house. If you try to put yourself in his/her position, is it worth risking a lawsuit to allow bees on the property? I would say no too (on a small city lot), and I'm a beekeeper. I do have a place with a big lot which I have rented and had bees on; it would be a real stretch for a lawyer to blame a hive 150 meters away from people as being irresponsible.You say the lot is only 700 sq meters? If my math is right, that is only 0.143 acres; that really is a small lot to be keeping bees on IMO. My advice would be to move to a more rural location and ask the landlord if they would allow bees. Most landlords love a good renter that pays on time and are willing to work with you as long as you don't put them at some legal risk. Good luck with your bee keeping. It is addictive.
Just heard back from the property agent that the landlord has changed their mind following further information regarding the hive and bees.He has approved a hive in the backyard. :)
Max how would you like to be sued for $5 million dollars if you're the only one in the area with a bee hive and somebody dies from an allergic reaction? In the USA, it happens! Check out this link: http://www.nctimes.com/news/local/family-sues-vista-over-bee-stings-death/article_ef946fb3-625d-5c0e-b2ea-e7fbbacea4f7.htmlWithin a 5 km radius we still have many feral hives in Australia. While my bees maybe very easy to identify ( the read socks are a dead give-away!) most people would never be able to pin-point the bee with the criminal streak. Dogs would be different deal.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|i open up a credit card with the best initial travel offers every summer (and cancel the old one), so that by the time trip planning rolls around in the fall im able to redeem. impact on credit score is marginal if youve got a history of good credit. saved me $800 on flights last year, half of which wouldve gone towards a riding trip.
I've seen trips on the vacation discount sites pretty cheap lately. For example Jackson Hole 7 nights with airfare, car, hotel around a grand (cheaper if you split up hotel and car rental with your friends). Then lift tickets are $100 per day. So, $200-250 or less per day for everything, plus food and stuff. You can do Utah for about the same or cheaper (lift tickets are pretty cheap at some of the resorts--Brighton and Solitude lift tix are only about $60-70). Summit County area can be done for a little more (search for epic pass info if you want to plan ahead for next year, probably going to get one myself).
Also worth checking out early/late season deals--I have ridden near snorkel-deep Wasatch pow first week of December before.
Doing Jackson Hole next week for 6 nights, 5 days and it is only running me about $1,300, plus food and beer--but I'm using miles to get out there (flights are going for under $300 lately and they have some kind of deal where you can get $200 back on your flight if you book through JH).
Man, I used to go to Snowshoe all the time also. I don't know how much it costs you to drive up there, but a plane ticket out west only costs me about twice the cost of fuel roundtrip from Fairfax to SS. Plus Cupp and Shay's would be about a weak intermediate slope most places out west.

My friend and I will be making our second trip west this week. We are going to be spending about $1000 each for 4 days of riding in the summit county area. That is including a rental car. If you have a group of 4 people that will commit to the trip right now then you can certainly do it for cheaper. If you're staying a full week you can buy early season passes for cheaper then just getting tickets. You also have to have everyone agree on what level of trip they want. Are you staying at the Super 8 like my friend and I am or are wanting a condo in Breck you can walk to the lift? Are you renting the cheapest car like us or do you need an SUV to fit all your crap?
By the way, price out trips to other other places like Tahoe or Utah. Don't just focus on Colorado. Flights into Reno to get to Tahoe can be cheap.
|don't come out here...hellish to get to the hill, no big wide open groomers, short runs and ... well you don't want to hear about the pow
|I'm from the east coast as well and 3 of my buddies and I just went to Park City and spent less than $1000 per person for 4 days of boarding. Depending on what time you can fly into Salt Lake City, you may be able to catch a train that will essentially take you to Park City for like $10. Otherwise, you can catch a shuttle for $70-80 roundtrip that will drop you off and pick you up right where you are staying. There are also shuttles that run pretty much all day around Park City so you don't have to rent a car or worry about cabs.

Thanks for the info and the search is on going.
I guess it also depends on what is important for the trip. If cost is the driving factor, then you might have to cut back on some things. If something else is the driving factor to make it an "EPIC" trip, then just save your money for a couple years and then do that.

I have been told numerous times to go west.
I consider myself intermediate and am looking for wide open spaces and being from the east coast I haven't been in more than 6-10" of powder so back country riding is still a foreign concept.
I have a group of 3 friends that would like to make our first trip out west next season but from what I have found it appears that it will cost us a fortune. I don't mind spending the $ to get there but would like to get the most bang for our buck.
For a group of first timers where should we head? I am open to any and all ideas and not married to the idea of going to anywhere in particular. As far as terrain we are more into the long, groomed, open trails with an option to take a few runs at some powder than free riding in deep powder (at least until we try it once then I'm sure we will become addicts.)
I appreciate any ideas or advice and am still searching through threads on this forum for more information as well.
Anyway, do a ton of research and find deals ahead of time. For flights, check 30-40 days before your trip. That is when I find them the cheapest. If you are gonna be there for a week or so, buy a season pass. I bought the Rocky Mountain Super Pass early last spring for my trips this year. I will use it a total of 9 or 10 times so the $429 pass easily paid for itself. Another reason I bought a pass is so I didn't feel obligated to ride from first chair to close to get my money's worth. I did do that this last trip, but in March my family will be with me, so if the kids are ready to go at 1, then I won't be complaining that I spent $100 to ride for 4.5 hours.
I just flew to Denver from Indianapolis for $139 plus $50 for bags. My brother-in-law and I shared a rental car for $100 and a lodge in Winter Park for $62 a night. Boarded at Winter Park and Copper so the season pass covered the lift costs.
Pretty cheap trip in my book. I'm not saying what I did is the best way, or cheapest, or blah blah blah. Just giving you an idea of what I spent recently to show that it can be fairly cheap if you plan ahead and don't mind spending time to research.
