New Year's Resolutions That Stick
While New Year's resolutions frequently get a bad rap, forming one (or more) is a great way to start making healthy changes or to keep things moving in the right direction. Statistics citing that nearly half of all resolutions fail within six months are frequently thrown around to demonstrate the hopelessness of such a venture, but about half of the New Year's resolvers also manage to make a lasting change. What separates the successful from the sidelines? Setting up the right resolutions and giving yourself the right tools is what it really takes to see a lasting impact from your good intentions.
Make your Resolution Specific. With your Vision Home Fitness equipment, you've already got a good start on keeping your fitness resolutions this year. To make sure you're in the half that succeeds, take the time to make a resolution that sets you up for success. General resolutions such as "exercise more" or "lose weight", without a specific plan for getting to that goal, sets you up to fail. Make your resolution specific and include a timeframe, whether that means eating two vegetables every day or losing a pound each week. You can also set a health related goal for a future point in time, such as running your first 5K this spring, then work backwards with a plan, such as a couch to 5K schedule or an appointment with a professional to get you on track.
Do your Homework. The website Usa.gov is a great resource for tips on succeeding in your resolutions. From eating healthy and getting active, to finding another job, this page offers a list of common New Year's resolutions and provides a direct link to a webpage that will provide you with resources to help meet your goal. Even if you've already got the "eat right and exercise" thing down, you can still find support for activities that can improve your life and health, as well as that of others, such as volunteering (don't forget about the Martin Luther King Day of Service on January 20) or enhancing your education. You can also read up on reinforcing your resolutions and creating habits if you really want to make a change in your daily routine.
Create Your Support Network. Simply creating a broad statement of your intention and posting it on Facebook or sharing it with your spouse can actually have a negative effect. Rather than helping you keep your resolution, this may help you feel that you've already taken some responsibility for the change and leave you feeling a little freer to make bad choices. Instead, create a network of support through people that are as invested in your goals as you are. This might mean setting up an appointment with a nutritionist, personal trainer, or physical therapist if you need support to reach your eating or exercise goals. You can also find group support through a weight loss focused group or like-minded athletes, such as a running group or intramural sport. If you have a friend or spouse with similar goals, setting up times to train together and ways to celebrate and support each other's victories can also be a big help.
Measure and Reward. By creating a resolution that is based on time sensitive milestones, you've created a calendar for measuring your success. Try to find regular ways to reward your good behavior, especially during the first month. By staying with your resolution through the month of January, you're ahead of the crowd. While over a third of resolvers tend to break within the first month, failures happen much more slowly after that. When you set up your rewards, find ways to reward yourself that are likely to keep you moving in the direction of the good behavior you're trying to create. If exercise is your plan, make sure you earn a new pair of running shoes or athletic clothing (or just some new workout music). If you're looking to eat right, maybe you could pay for a share in a Community Supported Agriculture program or a night out at a restaurant with health conscious offerings. Initially start with frequent rewards, every week or two, and start to space out the frequency after the first month as your new behaviors become habits.
Cheers to a happy and healthy 2014!

To balance the budget that quickly with no tax increases and without touching Medicare, Social Security and the defense budget, virtually everything else in the federal budget would have to be slashed between 40 and 50 percent, said Joshua B. Gordon, policy director of the Concord Coalition. . . .
Balancing the budget in a decade poses a host of difficulties, said Gordon, one of Washington's foremost advocates of fiscal discipline.
"If you are not wanting to raise revenues and if you're trying to protect these programs [such as Social Security and Medicare], it really becomes mathematically impossible to balance the budget that quickly," Gordon said. "If you try, you're almost certain to slow the economy, which will mean less revenue, which will make it even harder to balance the budget."
Beyond that, cutting federal spending that quickly would inevitably push many costs down to the state level. Budget experts said that's particularly true of Medicaid, which Romney has proposed turning into a block grant program in which states would get limited federal funds to run their health care programs for the poor.
"The states are going to have an even harder time" under Romney-Ryan plans to reform Medicaid, Gordon said.

Four pre-college students along with two collegiate musicians will share $11,000 in prize money awarded by Legacy Music Alliance to the winners of the 2013 Student Concerto Competition, which just concluded.
The winning students and their schools are: Ayden L.

The top performers at the collegiate and high school levels will receive a $1,500 scholarship, and the junior high school winner will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship to be used toward private lessons or an instrument upgrade.
Three of the Concerto Competition winners – Olsen, Chamberlain and Tueller – will also perform in concert with the Utah Wind Symphony March 28 at the Rose Wagner Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets for the Rose Wagner concert can be purchased through ArtTix by calling (801) 355-ARTS or (888) 451-ARTS or going online at www.arttix.org

Plummeting property values were not even on Howard Kance's radar when he moved into his home in the BridgeMill neighborhood a few years ago, though it was his main concern as he sat in Lancaster County Council's chambers Monday night, Nov. 9.
Joining more than 100 of his neighbors, some spilling out the doors and all clad in red shirts, Kance hoped to urge council members not to approve a proposed industrial rezoning for McClancy Seasoning, an established spice business located directly next to his Indian Land neighborhood, just off U.S. 521.
You inch past a serious wreck on the interstate. Cars and an 18-wheeler sit mangled and steaming. Medics scramble to help the wounded. People are yelling, some are crying.
The troubling scene recedes in your rearview mirror as you rev back up to highway speed and wonder what happened. Was it a texting driver? Blown tire? Road rage? You'll probably never know.
The aftermath of the August collision between Lancaster County officials and the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. has been similarly messy, troubling and hard to understand.
KERSHAW – A former town council member is headed back to town hall as Kershaw mayor.
Mark Dorman defeated Morris Russell, Sonya Poole and Johnny Carter on Tuesday, Nov. 3, to win the first-ever write-in campaign in Lancaster County history.
After the vote was certified by the Lancaster County Election Commission on Thursday, Nov. 5, Dorman had 161 total votes to Russell's 131 votes.
Poole, an at-large member of town council, had 24 votes. Carter, another former town councilman, had 21 total votes.
KERSHAW – A precedent will be made Tuesday, Nov. 3, when Kershaw voters select a new mayor through a write-in vote.
No political candidate in Lancaster County history has ever been successfully elected through the write-in process.
"It's never happened," said local historian Lindsay Pettus.
Four candidates – Johnny Carter, Mark Dorman, Sonya Poole and Morris Russell – have launched write-in campaigns for Kershaw mayor.
Lancaster County isn't the only entity to tighten the purse strings of the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. (LCEDC).
The city of Lancaster hasn't paid its $25,000 membership/participation dues for fiscal year 2015-16 to the corporation, though the organization is seeking its continued support.
At it's Tuesday, Oct. 27 meeting, city council tabled a vote on the city's LCEDC dues until it gets more information.
HEATH SPRINGS – After discussing three landscaping matters in executive session during a special meeting on Monday, Oct. 26, members of Heath Springs Town Council took action on two of them.
Council voted unanimously not to sow winter rye grass on public property and not to pay landscaper Darren Sowell an additional $1,472 for 184 bales of pine straw he placed in the town early this year.
Should the county be compensated for lost tax revenue from several agreed upon, but still unbuilt, condominiums and townhouses inside Indian Land's massive Sun City Carolina Lakes neighborhood?
That question was at the heart of a debate among Lancaster County Council members on Monday, Oct. 26, as they discussed how to proceed with the neighborhood's developer, Georgia-based Pulte Group.
Though he only had three minutes to speak to Lancaster County Council during its meeting Monday night, Oct. 26, John Baker made the most of every second.
As the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp.'s board vice-chairman, Baker was upset his organization's latest audit wasn't included on council's agenda for discussion. And without a designated time to present the audit in full, Baker decided to claim his allotted three minutes of speaking time during the citizen comments portion of the meeting.
KERSHAW – There won't be any buyer's remorse by Kershaw Town Council when it comes to purchasing the old Springs Mills property bordered by Hampton and Matson streets.
That's because it's backing out of the proposed purchase.
After meeting behind closed doors for a briefing at its Monday, Oct. 19, meeting, council came into open section and voted unanimously not to pursue buying the 9.1-acre tract on the north side of the town limits.
Members of Lancaster City Council approved first reading of a measure at their Oct. 13 meeting, to double up on two debts to build up cash reserves for another pressing issue that must be dealt with.
Without a single word, council unanimously voted to spend $330,000 to pay off loans early that funded 2010 improvements to the solid waste transfer station and its share of construction costs of the University of South Carolina Lancaster Native American Studies Center (NASC) on South Main Street.

Lucas: Tracking The Tar Heel Free Agents
By Adam Lucas, GoHeels.com
Not every NBA free agent is named Dwight Howard. Several Tar Heels became unrestricted or restricted free agents this week, giving them the freedom to explore new opportunities--and more money--with other teams. Here's a complete look at the Carolina alums who could be changing addresses:
Wayne Ellington (with Memphis/Cleveland last year): The Cavs did not make a qualifying offer to Ellington, which means he's an unrestricted free agent. Reportedly, Cleveland is still interested in bringing him back. However, it looks like there is competition for his services. Ellington tweeted right after midnight on Sunday--when teams can first contact free agents--that free agency had "just started in a very pleasant way." The Lakers are reportedly one of the teams interested.
Tyler Hansbrough (with Indiana last year): The Pacers made Hansbrough a restricted free agent by issuing him an offer, reported to be $4.15 million, before the July 1 deadline. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll be back with the Pacers, but it does mean they have the right to match any offer.
Antawn Jamison (with Lakers last year): Here's a blast from the past: the Wizards and Jamison reportedly have mutual interest. Jamison played with the Wizards from 2004-10.
Jerry Stackhouse (with Brooklyn last year): The most veteran Tar Heel in the league hasn't officially said he's retiring, but he hasn't officially said he's not retiring, either. The Nets just brought in Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, so if they were to re-sign Stackhouse, they'd have a very formidable 1998 video game squad. Stackhouse has a lot of options beyond just playing. He's expressed interest in coaching, and also might be the next president of the NBA Players Association (he's currently the vice-president).
Marvin Williams (with Utah last year): Williams had an early termination option in his contract, but declined it and will be back with the Jazz in 2013-14. Unfortunately, he'll also miss the start of next season due to surgery on his Achilles tendon.
Brandan Wright (with Dallas last year): It looks like it's going to be a happy summer for Wright, an unrestricted free agent who is poised for a much bigger payday. A half-dozen teams are reportedly interested in the big man.

Aged people need special care to enable them to lead a normal life. Instead of taking them to institutional-based residential or long-term nursing homes, we have home care services for the aged. They need health care from professionals and life help services. Professional help could include psychological assessment, disease education, wound care, speech, occupational and physical therapy.
Why do you need home care services?
Aging people need assistance with daily activities such as laundry, meal preparations, transportation, housekeeping, medical reminders and companionship. This care is an important aspect of the recovery process after hospitalization. Apart from physical assistance, it is essential for friends and family to offer emotional support.
Aging comes with the need for assistance with daily tasks and health care. Practices on aged care Melbourne has will include nursing services to elderly people who live alone but age deters them from performing their tasks as normal. Most families prefer taking them to nursing homes sometimes called care homes for the aged. This can be on a temporary or permanent basis.
One may need assistance due to illness, emergency, disability or needs of their friends, family or career. The staffs at nursing homes are equipped to help with daily activities such as cooking, cleaning and laundry. Personal assistance including grooming and dressing will also be given to your loved one.
Management of nursing homes
These nursing institutions are owned and maintained by personnel authorized by the government to cater for you. The system is designed to ensure that the elderly are given quality care and support when needed. The government monitors the institutions regularly to ensure they meet the agreed standards.
Reasons private home care services are preferred
A lot of older people prefer to live at their residence where they can continue enjoying acquaintance of their community and homes. They feel more secure in their homes hence a care home is not an option for them. As a result, private home care services are preferable to such individuals. If they are given a little assistance in their homes, they can lead a normal life and age gracefully.
Advantages of private home care
Private care services have numerous advantages. They are flexible and do not have contracts hence one has the freedom to change anytime they feel the need. Every service they offer is tailored to the needs of the particular patient. Their services are both long and short term and twenty-four hours to short episodes. They also assist in housekeeping, nursing, and personal grooming among others. Check out Arcare Aged Care
Choosing a home care service
There are many organizations that exist to ensure that the elderly age comfortably. However, it is important that one considers the situation of their patient because every case is unique hence preferences and needs vary. A service plan should be developed to ensure that high-quality care is given to a patient. The major components of the service plan are transport, housekeeping, nursing care, social support and personal care.
Proper research should be done before making a decision on any home care. Nursing homes offering aged care Victoria has now, for instance, present services that enable you to keep updated with your loved one. They examine your patient, consider your needs and present the options available.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Dec 7, 2009.
What you call destiny - I call a steady diet of minutes required.
Lol excatly. Guys, Amir Johnson is a mega scrub lets just face it. Whenever we discuss Amir Johnson I feel like we have to devise formulas to prove his worth. He had the potential, but he never tapped into it and never will.
Amir Johnson farts in elevators.
On the Raptors this year, Amir is 2nd in defensive win shares and 5th in offensive win shares, which places him 5th on the team in combined win shares. In the DWS category, he is barely behind Bosh, even though he has played half the minutes. This category is cummulative and not adjusted for minutes played. On the Pistons this year, Ben Wallace is the clear leader in defensive win shares and Ben Gordon is the leader in offensive win shares. The 5th player on our team in combined win shares is Stuckey (ala, the Pistons' equivelant of Amir). Raptors' stingy D gets an A - thestar.com
It's so funny to me that in a thread where Amir's name has been mentioned in connection with Shaq, Bosh etc, almost 90% of the people preferred Jerebko over him.
If we forget per x minutes, then here is how the totals look for the season so far: Stat: Jonas/ Amir Min: 473/ 400 Pts: 130/ 114 Reb: 91/ 115 Ast: 10/ 8 Stl: 9/ 15 Blk: 8/ 15 PF: 61/ 79 So, if Amir can score 16 points, and get 2 assists in his next 73 minutes, then he will have surpasses JJ's stats in every single category for the same amount of PT (18 FT's, which resulted in about 12 points). I really fail to see how there is a big difference here between these two athletic energy players. You all are just still in your honeymoon period with Jerebko. They are similar as can be. And as crazy as it seems, Amir is actually younger than him.
Defensive Win Shares? WTF is that? I'm with Distance...Amir is getting minutes, he's just not that good! Athletic, yes. Solid professional basketball player, no.
You guys are so touchy feely.
Jerebko can stay on the court? His last 5 games have been impressive. You seriously can't compare a games first season versus 5th year, and 3rd with serious PT. We all saw the adjustments his first few games, and now his teammates are actually passing him the ball at times, and he is still getting used to the NBA. How about this stat, on Jerebkos point total, he has 65, or half of his entire total, in the last 5 games. Call it a hot streak or a fluke, that shows some improvement.
Amir was 17-18 in his rookie year.. And he came to the NBA after played in High School. Jerebko is 22 and he comes to the NBA after played in Europe. THAT IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE for instanse. My vote? Too Early. (But I really like how Jerebko leaves everything in the court every game)
That's because he is starting in place of the injured iron man. If Prince was healthy, Jerebko would have about 1/10th of his current minutes. I'm really not trying to say that Jerbko isn't good. I really like his game and am glad that we have him and that he's getting a chance. But my overall point is that Amir also does a lot of things well. We like the new guy and are over trashing the guy who was fired. I've seen it in the work place a hundred times.
can you do a writeup for me that somehow compares me to Ron Jeremy or Peter North? perhaps put it in a pamphlet form that i could handout to strange women. something about offensive pleasure performance shares..."ladies this guy is really good if you ignore the tangible evidence and read between the lines." man i just need consistent minutes!
If you ignore the stats from the waist down, HarryF and Ron Jeremy are virtually the same player and can play the same positions. While Harry can't stay in the game long enough to qualify for per36 minute stats, his per5 minute stats show that he is very productive in spurts. However, Harry is usually coming in to replace another player, so he doesn't get the benefits of starting.
In the one game between the Nuggets and Lakers this year (a blowout win for the Nuggets in Denver), Afflalo held Kobe to 2 for 10 (20%) shooting on possessions where he was guarding Kobe. It might be a small sample size, but he frustrated the hell outta Kobe. Afflalo is fast becoming an elite back court defender.
i like jonas, he´s in his first nba year and doing his job good!
Another good night from Jerebko.
Yes but what about his defensive win shares?
did Amir EVER play 39 minutes for us? I like our new guys

Virtually all normative and descriptive models of moral judgment view an agent's gender as irrelevant to judgments of moral permissibility — whether an action such as sacrificing one life to save five others is carried out by a man or a woman does not qualify its appropriateness. However, we demonstrate that people expect men to be more utilitarian, than women when resolving moral dilemmas. Accordingly, they find utilitarian behavior more appropriate when carried out by male agents. This research suggests that moral judgment is not only evaluative in scope, but also inferential. Individuals view behavior as a signal about character, and because of their prior beliefs about male and female characteristics, they arrive at different judgments when the same behavior is carried out by male and female agents. This paper discusses the organizational implications of the gender bias in moral decision-making.

GunnersGaming by Betsson, Arsenal's Official Betting Partner, give us the rundown on some of the markets on offer ahead of Monday's match against Fulham...
The last two weeks have shown exactly why the Barclays Premier League is the best league in the world. Everyone dropped points and enjoyed both the highs and lows of a crazy festive period. While the Gunners may have been disappointed with a home draw against Wolves, other results have ensured that ground has been gained on the leaders and we start 2012 occupying the all-important fourth spot.
However, there is certainly no time to be resting on any laurels. The games continue to come thick and fast and the transfer window has swung open. As usual there is plenty of noise but we will have to wait and see whether that results in a frenzy of business. Arsène Wenger won't have Thierry Henry in his ranks for tonight's game, but the Arsenal legend's presence alone is already having a positive impact on both fans and players.
The Gunners make the short trip across the capital today for their second London derby in a row. They ground out a crucial win on Saturday and it will take similar performance to leave the Cottage with all 3 points tonight. The Cottagers have proved a difficult obstacle in recent encounters with the last 2 games between the sides finishing in draws. Indeed Fulham have also drawn both their last outings, including a notable point at Stamford Bridge. The draw is priced at a rewarding 7/3 (3.35)
However, Fulham continue to be unpredictable this season and the Gunners will be hoping to find their hosts in the festive spirit that gifted 5 goals to Man United, rather than the Scrouge like display that earned them a draw at the Bridge! The Gunners have struggled for goals recently, only scoring more than 1 goal in a game once in their last 6 outings. They will be hoping that they can start 2012 in a more positive note and are priced at Evens (2.04) to score more than 1.5 goals.
The festive period pushes squads to the limit and the Gunners will continue to re shuffle their back line with Thomas Vermaelen's injury against QPR. Fulham too are likely to be missing some key personnel with Zamora and Johnson struggling to be fit to take their places in the Cottagers attack.
Robin van Persie broke Thierry Henry's record for goals in a calendar year but fell just short of Alan Shearer's. He will be hoping to maintain that form and make 2012 another record-breaking year. He is 9/10 (1.9) to start the year with a goal. This could be Gervinho's last game before the Africa Cup of Nations so he will hope to leave with his name on the scoresheet and is available at a rewarding 19/10 (2.9)
It is sure to be a tough game and likely to be settled by the odd goal, back Arsenal to win by a one-goal margin priced at 29/10 (3.9) or for better value a 1-0 win priced at 29/5 (6.85) or 2-1 win at 36/5 (8.2)
GunnersGaming would like to wish the team all the best for 2012 and for today's game against Fulham. If you're new to GunnersGaming.com there is no better time to get started. We will refund your first three non-winning bets (up to the value of £25) and double your first deposit in the casino (up to the value of £200) where you could be just one spin away from becoming a millionaire!

text: Jacksons Folly? Still Not Sold on Artest and Lakers Matt Steinmetz - Fanhouse "it has something to do with the assumption Artest is no longer the volatile personality he's been in the past, or the supposition that coach Phil Jackson can keep Artest productive. Those two things aren't locks. Sure, Artest seems to have toned things down in the past couple of years, but we've seen indications during that same period that he can still run right up to the edge at times. That he hasn't gone over recently is no assurance he won't soon. And as great as Jackson is as a coach, he has had times in the past when players have not flourished or responded under him. Heck, Kobe Bryant has had stretches where Jackson didn't get the most out of him. For everyone who mentions that Jackson brought out the best in Dennis Rodman, it also must be pointed out that Jackson didn't get the most out of Isaiah Rider (Remember: "Phillip?") or Mitch Richmond. How did Gary Payton do under Jackson? Those were not dissimilar acquisitions than the Lakers getting Artest." Still Not Sold on Artest and Lakers -- NBA FanHouse

What do you get when you combine people with different backgrounds, ideas, and talents? At Ball State University, it's the Multicultural Center, a place where appreciating and promoting cultural diversity is our goal.
The "Multi," as students call it, brings together students of different genders, races, and ethnicity to discuss social racial, and cultural issues. In addition, the center is a place to get assistance, hang out with friends, study, or hold meetings.
Since its founding in the early 1970s, the Special Programs house, as the center was once called, was Ball State University's response to the request of African-American students who wanted a place on campus that was staffed by people sensitive to their feelings of isolation and alienation.
And though our office has made changes over the years, our goal is still the same. We want to help prepare them for life by engaging them in intellectual discussions and giving them the resources needed to be successful in the workplace.
Part of that help is offering resources such as the staff to guide and counsel students. The facilities which includes a quiet library space for studying, a computer lab, a conference room for meeting, and a fully functional kitchen. In addition we coordinate and host the Excel Mentor Program and monthly programs to celebrate the university's cultural diversity.
As some of our students have said, the Multi becomes a home away from home.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Sweet plan
Sounds like a sweet plan - one that many of us dream of. I wish you all the best fortune in making it happen.
|imiloa - You're right...all the medium/heavy displacement boats discussed in this thread do tend to prefer heavy air and aren't necessarily the best for coastal sailing conditions like those found near my homeport most days. However, I plans to cut the docklines permenantly and head to the Caribbean and then to the west coast and if I'm fortunate, the south Pacific. I'm building an income from an internet business that I hope will provide enough cash flow to finance the adventure. However, the boat will need to be paid for in advance, thus my meager budget of something definately not more than $75k and probably more like $35-$50k.
Sailing qualities
Lots of good information about some of the qualities of PSC boats - I certainly agree they're at the top of my list of quality built, beautiful vessels. There is very little said here, though, about their sailing qualities. I see you hail from Grand Rapids and I'm just across the lake from you. My understanding is that the boats being discussed here are all pretty heavy in displacement and take some serious wind to get and keep them moving. Seeing as we have so many light wind days during our sailing season why would you be considering a boat that, as I've been told, is built for sailing in conditions heavier than what we normally see during our sailing season here? I have always liked PSC boats (especially the Crealock 34) but have been under the impression they just need more wind to sail in than we typically have. Maybe I just have bad information??
Good input Winderlust...thanks!
I'm an Orion fan, but my beef is the price. Most seem to be in the $40-50k range, which puts it in competition with the others (W32, Mariah, Baba 30, V32). If the Orion were in the $25-$30k range, it would be a real bargin over the others and make a lot of sense.
A few others I consider comparable to the Orion (at least in terms of size and seaworthiness) are the Shannon 28, Westsail 28, and Island Packet 27. A few others may qualify too (Southern Cross 28, Cape Dory 28), but I think they are just a step below.
I guess in the end it will come down to budget and getting the most boat for the money if I can put esthetics aside just a bit.
Go for a PS Orion 27'
kwalt, for what it's worth:
I had a PS Orion 27' cutter for 11 years until 1998 when I had to sell her. I would do just about anything now to get one back. Currently I sail a 10 foot dink sloop. I single handed my Orion to Santa Cruse Isl. off Ventura, CA for many multi nighters on hook and got caught in more than one Santa Ana event, 40+ with tight steep waves, in the Channel at night and in the day.
I always felt secure in my Orion, with it's real bilge, full keel and cut away foot. Crealock's name is not on it, but Pacific Seacraft sure learned from their relationship, with him. The Layup, joinery and hardware are classic PS.
There are Orions out there for sale and if you have a chance at one, I believe you will find them the best compromise of space and seaworthyness of any 27'. With good wind, it's a pretty fast little tank. Most do have their share of brightwork above: companion way, dorrad boxes, hand holds, rubrail, railcap, sampsons, etc; for good or bad.
Now for the blemish. A boat of that small stature that was built with much of the heavy stuff needed for a larger cruiser, put to starboard: galley, batteries, diesel fuel, and stuff gave it a slight list to stb. That required 150 lbs of lead bricks stashed low behind the port seatee to stand straight. Lead is pretty compact, as you can imagine, so as a cruiser, I never gave it a thought.
The cockpit is spacious, wine glass transom and good swim later, with a wheel helm. Mine was the standard qtr. berth to port and good size nav station stb; great storage all around. It had a trusty little 27 hp Yanmar and the hank on cutter rig made it a classic sailor, much cheaper than a BCC. Great boat! What can I say it was my only real cruiser. And now, as it turns out, love.

Also, I agree somewhat with your comments on the size of the PSC 34/37 compared to Westsail 32 and Mariah 31, but the latter boats usually lack the essential q-berths (I have seen some non-factory versions with q-berths, but very rarely). And I think you would find that the improved sailing performance of the Crealock designs would be hard to pass-up.
The search is half the fun!
I agree totally about canoe sterns in smaller boats. Interestingly, the W32/Mariah/Baba all seem to carry a wide beam back very close to the very broad canoe stern. Conversely, I think that some of the newer Crealock PSC double-enders seem a bit smallish comparatively. For instance, I find that the PSC 34/37 don't feel roomy enough for their respective LOA's when coming aboard from a W32 or Mariah.
I have not been aboard a Valiant 32 yet. They seem to be quite rare, with only one or two on the market at any given time and none close to me yet. But I don't doubt your take on the cramped cabin given the very dark wood (mahogany?) and smallish portlights.
Something about the Baba calls to me, but then again it is in fact the smallest of the four and feels it in the cabin/cockpit. I'm sure it would be fantastic for just my wife and I but I tend to think it would feel cramped with two kids aboard. Now if I can find a Baba 35 in my price range...
That's a good short-list.
Have you been aboard a Valiant 32 yet? If not, one observation I'll share is that we found the interior to be VERY tight. By comparison, our Dana 24 felt roomier. I know that sounds implausible, but something about the bright, open-layout of the Dana and the dark, cramped cabin of the V32 has an affect.
Over the years, I've increasingly felt that from a space- or roominess-standpoint, it's hard to make a strong argument for double-enders or canoe sterns below the mid-30 foot range. It's just that so much volume is lost by tapering the stern of the boat, that it's difficult to justify it - at least for those of us sailing with family aboard and trying to get the most bang for the buck. It would be a different story for a single-hander or couple.
By comparison, our present PSC 31 feels enormous compared to the V32.
In the almost 2 years since the original post, I've become a huge PSC fan. I could realistically see an Orion, Mariah or the newer 31 being my next boat.
Lately I've been sizing up salty bluewater cruiser in the ~30' range that can be had for around $50k. The boats that have floated to the top of my list are the Mariah, Westsail 32, Valiant 32, and Baba 30. I'm quite sure I'd be happy with any of the four and I can't seem to pick a front runner. The Baba is soooo pretty. The Westsail is soooo stout. The Valiant has a more modern hull/keel and supposedly sails the best. The Mariah seems to be a good combination of the other four, though I think it most closely resembles the W32.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Inside the Victory Lab: Using Data, Experiments and Analytics to Make Campaigns Smarter
How campaigns make assumptions about voters How do campaigns sort through all the disparate data they've gathered about individuals? We'll get an introduction to the predictive-modeling techniques often called microtargeting, and an understanding of how algorithms can churn through thousands of data points to help campaigns draw conclusions about people — both their past attitudes and future behaviors — without ever interacting with them directly.

Since having a crate trained dog is a wonderful thing for the rest of the dog's life, I'm hoping you realized it wasn't the crate that was your issue.
It was that the crate wasn't in your bedroom beside your bed.
A crate trained pup can go ANYWHERE and you don't have to worry about it plus they love their crate. They won't be hysterical if they have to stay at the vets cause they are sick but they will settle into the vet crate. You can take the puppy to any friend/relative/motel to visit because you know they are safe and happy and nothing will be destroyed.
The crate wasn't your issue. It was the fact the puppy felt 'abandoned' in the other end of the house.
|So last night I was so tired - I tied his leash to the bed post-with his bed and some toys and we all slept for 8 hours!!!! This will work.
i put the crate in the livingroom. first night several hours
of crying. second night a hour or so of crying. third night
a half hour of crying. after that all was quiet. i told my
neighbors before we bought the pup that we're getting a pup
so expect some noise and i need their help for training and general
taking care of. when i crated my pup i always said "go to your crate".
as i was walking towards him to pick him up to put him in his
crate i said "go to your crate". when we reached the crate
i sat him down in front of his crate. as i was ushering him in the crate
i said "go to your crate". sometimes i would crate him just so i could
say "go to your crate". keep in mind my dog was 9 weeks old when i
started crate training. one day a month or 2 later i said "go to your
crate" and he got up and went to his crate. after that i started
telling him to go to his crate when he was in different parts of the house
upstairs and downstairs. i finally got to the point where i could leave
the front open while we were in the yard and say "go to your crate"
and he would go. once the crate was put away it was "go to your
bed". "go to your crate" or "go to your bed" comes in handy when
you have visitors.

|A coworker had the same problem, every 2 hours, but the pup really didn't need to piddle, was just lonely. What cured it was that they put the crate in their bedroom next to their bed.
My husband slept with Jake for the first few nights we brought him home.
Then we put his crate in our room so he was close to us. He settled down, but we were still up every 2 - 3 hours for potty breaks. She will get used to it. Good luck!
I thought we were never going to make it through that first month with Jake ... but now he's 11 months old and sleeping through the night with us upstairs at night in the hallway.
Crate training
I'm on the 3rd night with hoping my pup sleeps in her crate. I am hopeful!
The first night she did good. The second night was a nightmare. We ended up sleeping on the couch with her on the floor. She is 8 weeks, so I know we'll figure something out.

Краткое описание жилья
|Harold Road, N8 7DE London, Великобритания
|Тип жилья
|ID жилья
Beautifully decorated with wooden floors, cable tv in living room and wifi throughout. Georgous south facing 50 metre garden with old Oak tree where you can sit and have coffee or summer BBQ. On street parking.
Two lovely double rooms, one with french doors opening out onto the garden.
Crouch End is a trendy village-like area full of boutiques, interesting shops, beauty parlours, hairdressers, cafes, pubs and restaurants. See comedy and movies locally. Very cool area to hang out in. Great hills for running if that's your poison and there's a local 50m outdoor pool if you're a swimmer.
Lovely walks nearby, close to Highgate woods, Hampstead Heath, Kenwood House for outdoor summer concerts and Alexandra Palace for lots of different events. Close to Islington with its Georgian townhouses and beautiful squares. London has great local areas and exploring these can really complement a visit here.
Friendly, knowledgable and well travelled host can help you see another side of London, avoid tourist traps and enjoy the best the city has to offer.
The entire flat sleeps four, two double bedrooms one of which opens straight onto the garden. Please note that if you are taking the entire flat, the price will be based on four people sharing.
See my other posting to rent just a room.
Good transport links to all major tourist sites and a bus direct to Trafalgar Square.
More info about the area below!
Crouch End and environs
Crouch end is a great area. Many of its population come from the creative industries; television, music, film, theatre and publishing who are drawn to the area for its laid back atmosphere and cafe society. The nicest thing about the area is that there are mainly independent shops rather than chains. Shopkeepers know the locals by name and it gives the area a more eclectic vibe. It's popular with young people and with families so it has something for everyone.
You will never go hungry in Crouch End! There are so many good cafes and restaurants, all very reasonably priced. Whatever kind of food you like, you will find it within a mile of the flat. But mostly just a five minute walk. I can recommend places based on your tastes so please ask.
There are also four supermarkets and dozens of small food shops open til late, an organic shop, butchers, fishmongers and wonderful bakeries.
If, like me , you love to shop, there are excellent boutiques to choose from. These range from cheap outlets to designer. Mainly for women but there are also two men's boutiques.
There is a local indoor and outdoor pool, open to the public, which is packed in the summer and great fun on a hot day.
From Hornsey rail station. Walk left from station up the hill. At the crest you will see the police station on the right, cross over and Harold Road is just to the right. This is an overground train just a few minutes from the house that goes to the city and also connects withe tube to take you to the west end or further
Its a five minute bus ride To/from Finsbury Park (W3 bus) to round the corner from the flat. Finsbury Park houses the Victoria and Piccadilly lines which will get you to Central London in 20 minutes. Overground train to the city in 10 minutes and loads of busses.
No 91 bus goes to Trafalgar square via Euston and Kings Cross two minutes from the flat.
No 41 bus takes a local route to Archway.
Other interesting places locally:
Highgate village is lovely with properties dating back to the 1600's. Karl Marks is buried in Highgate cemetery and there is also the very pretty Waterlow Park. The small High Street has some nice shops and restaurants.
Islington is a funky, stylish area selling contemporary furniture, expensive clothes and yet more restaurants. You'll see distinguished Squares of Georgian houses with private gardens. There's an art deco cinema called Screen on the Green where you can watch Indie films on comfortable sofas and armchairs while drinking wine. Who needs a multiplex!
Muswell Hill, not far away, also has an old cinema.
Alexandra Palace is very close by. Events, concerts and circuses are held here and there is also an ice skating rink. Wonderful views over London.
The East End has really come up in the world and has some of London's most interesting places to go; particularly clubs and pubs for 20-35's.
Brick Lane thriving market has great Indian restaurants and a young Bhangra vibe.
On sundays, go to Spitalfields market, a covered market with stall holders galore selling interesting items but my favourite is Columbia Road flower market where traders shout out their prices, musicians play and shops sell quirky goods. Great coffee here too.
Правила ПроживанияSo that you can enjoy the apartment (and I can sleep at night) there are a few things you should know.
Most importantly, this is my home and you are welcome. Please treat it with respect. If you have any problems, then do let me know and I will do my very best to sort it out quickly. Please be tidy and clear up after yourselves.
Please be mindful and considerate of the neighbours. I have good relationships with them and would not wish to upset them. No loud noise after 11pm and absolutely no additional visitors.
Security and safety - non negotiables
The front door to the house and the door to the flat have two locks each. It is vital you double lock both doors every time to arrive and leave. It is a safe area but as in any city, you need to follow basic security. You will be provided with one set of keys. Please do not give them to anyone else.
The back door has keys and deadlocks and should be locked when you leave the house.
STRICTLY No smoking in the building. You may smoke at the back of the garden only.
What I provide
Duvets, clean bedding and towels on arrival.
Tea, coffee, sugar and milk. I have two Italian stove top espresso makers.
Central heating (on a timer morning and evening).

We really enjoyed staying in Rita's apartment. Rita was very friendly and helpful and we did feel at home. The apartment is lovely and we also enjoyed sitting in the garden. The location was very convenient for us and all helped toward a very happy weekend
Many thanks to Rita for such a welcoming and flexible attitude to us. We as a group of men, were delighted to be able to sleep at the flat and have somewhere homely to return to after our all day meetings. The place is certainly handy to get into central London (even if we didn't do so) and to the various airports, notably Stansted. We have no quibbles! Show respect and you get it back! I as treasurer, was delighted to have got this place after searching the various hotels. I wanted flexibility knowing that we would not really be eating in the flat, but the opportunity to do is certainly there. Big thanks to Rita.

(continued from previous page)
In the 1980s, you survived a brush with death when a plane you were on crash-landed. So you created "bucket list" with 101 to-dos, ranging from going one-on-one with Michael Jordan to having a net worth of 100 million dollars – both of which you've since achieved. How many have you completed?
I think I'm at 81. Most recently, I won an Emmy Award, went to the Olympics and traveled to China. So that's pretty good.
Which one of your bucket list items do you hope to accomplish next?
I want one of my teams to win a championship.
I'd cross my fingers for the Capitals, but myself, I'm a Toronto Maple Leafs fan.
[Laughs.] I'm allergic to Leafs.
The Doctor's Check Up on Ted
"This Allergic Life" profiles famous people who live with allergies. The interviewees are role models in their chosen professions, but how are they handling their own allergy management?
Allergic Living asked well-known New York allergist Dr. Paul Ehrlich to grade Ted Leonsis's allergy approach.
Top marks: "It's great that a man of Mr. Leonsis's stature is speaking out about his allergies. He is very aware of the issues around food allergy. The best message he sends is that you don't have to live in a bubble."
Caution ahead: "Mr. Leonsis is prepared. He should remember, however, to always ask about what's in every food he doesn't make himself. Nuts in the chicken salad may not be obvious, but you can't be too careful."
Medication use: "To his credit, he was not afraid to use an EpiPen when he needed it. I just wish he had used the auto-injector immediately instead of waiting until he found a private spot. It's really important to remember that if you decide you need your EpiPen, use it right away, and always let someone else know what's going on, because you might suddenly need assistance."
Note: This article appears in the Fall 2011 edition of Allergic Living magazine.

Arsenal Football Club is delighted to confirm that the Nigeria national team will be the Club's opposition for their pre-season friendly match in Abuja on Sunday, August 5.
Arsène Wenger's team will face the Super Eagles in the National Stadium, with a confirmed kick-off time of 4pm local time.
Tickets details will be announced on Wednesday, July 4 and will appear on Arsenal.com.
The Club last visited Africa during a tour to South Africa in July 1993, and is returning as a result of the fantastic support which exists for the team, not only in Nigeria, but across the entire continent.
The visit to Nigeria will conclude an exciting pre-season tour schedule for Arsenal, who return to both China and Malaysia in July, following the success of last term's Asia Tour.
The Asia leg starts in Kuala Lumpur, where the team will face a Malaysia XI on Tuesday, July 24. The Gunners then travel to China for a match against Manchester City in Beijing on Friday, July 27, followed by a trip to Hong Kong to play Kitchee FC on Sunday, July 29.
All developments and updates regarding Arsenal's pre-season activities will feature on Arsenal.com.

For many college students, earning a degree is about achieving a return on investment in their careers. At University of St. Thomas, the return on investment is in both careers and character.
UST Ranked Top College for Return on Investment
University of St. Thomas has been ranked a top college in Texas for return on investment by AffordableCollegesOnline.org. "AC Online: Highest Return on Investment Colleges in Texas" identifies the 49 colleges in Texas where degrees pay off the most; graduates from these schools earn more over their lifetimes, on average, than graduates from other Texas schools.
AC Online used the following criteria for fully accredited, four-year, not-for-profit institutions
in its college ranking: tuition and fees, graduate's average starting salaries and ROI calculation as provided by PayScale.
Most UST Graduates Employed After Graduation
In UST's 2013 Graduate Outcomes Survey, conducted by the UST Office of Career Services and Testing, 67 percent of graduates with undergraduate degrees were employed three to six months after graduation; 23 percent were attending graduate school, and 20 percent were seeking employment. The survey is compiled three months to six months after graduation with a response rate of 27 percent, as of Sept. 24.
Continue Reading
UST Prepares Students for Careers
Of the survey respondents, 73 percent of 2013 undergraduate students surveyed felt they were adequately prepared for their first career-related position.
Lindsey McPherson, director of career services and testing and dean of students, said critical thinking skills, the ability to write and a foundation in ethics make St. Thomas students attractive to employers.
"Employers need people who are well-rounded and can really think," McPherson said. "The biggest quality that our students have is the ability to think critically across all disciplines. They don't just know their area of study, but they can communicate it and discuss it with others."
Full-time employers for UST students include Marathon Oil, AIG, Baylor College of Medicine, United Airlines and Houston Independent School District.
Character Makes Alumni Attractive to Employers and Grad Schools
McPherson said that UST's core curriculum teaches critical thinking skills and exposes them to subjects outside their major to help prepare students for their careers.
"I think most of our alumni have been successful because of that, and employers come back and say 'I want another employee like that.' Because of their ethics, grounded in philosophy and theology, they are well-rounded students who can look at their work from all facets."
About 84 percent of undergraduates surveyed reported they developed tools that will assist them in effectively dealing with moral and ethical questions.
Of all undergraduates and graduate alumni prior to Class of 2012, top companies that employed graduates include HISD, ExxonMobil, Shell Oil, ChevronTexaco and Hewlett-Packard, according to Office of Institutional Advancement data from 27 percent of the 18,569 graduates at the time.
Class of 2013 undergraduates went on to study at graduate schools including Catholic University of America, University of Texas School of Dentistry, University of Houston Law Center, Rice University, Tulane University and University of St. Thomas. Eighty-three percent of survey respondents felt they were adequately prepared for graduate or professional school.
Small Classes Mean Faculty Invest in Students
McPherson said UST's small classroom environment and opportunities for research help students build strong relationships with their faculty members who can recommend them for jobs or graduate school.
"We have the small hands-on classroom, and because of that, you get to know your faculty, and you get to know their network, and that's something that can be invaluable," she said. "Because they know you, they don't have hesitation in recommending you to employers and to their own network."
In a school where 93 percent of undergraduate students surveyed reported they felt faculty were interested in their success, faculty also invest in the students for a return in their character and careers.
"The more our students go out and impress their employers – which is what they're doing – the more the employers return to recruit our students, so it's a win-win all around," she said.

By Rev. Eric C. Shafer August 2005. Hurricane Katrina had struck New Orleans and help had not yet arrived for several days.

A. There's plenty of American history that we didn't get taught in school — such as how racially mixed our society has actually been. Many mixed-blood families didn't leave as Native Americans were pushed west. Some families, neither "white" nor "black," evolved into a third community, while others blended into one, the other or both populations.
Mixed-blood families today are common throughout the eastern United States, though many have forgotten their heritage as it was never talked about except perhaps as a legend. Remember, only recently has being of Native American descent been accepted and even sought after. In the Midwest the Scotch-Irish and the French make up the largest intermarriage group among Native American tribes. In the mid-South the Scotch-Irish, English, Scots and Welsh intermarried to such a degree that almost all traces of Native American ancestry have been lost as families "passed for white." Families that could not "pass" would either intermarry among each other or often became merged into African-American families.

text: I didn't see another car thread, but if there is one, admins feel free to merge. So it turns out I have to buy a car. I wasn't quite prepared for this, but my 12 year old car gave me a scare yesterday which convinced me that I don't want to spend this entire winter wondering if now is the time my car dies and leaves me on the side of the road. I've never bought a car before and I'm having trouble figure out where to start and what to test drive. The only car I'm sure I'm interested in is the Subaru Impreza 5-door. I do need cargo space, so I'm not interested in a regular sedan. Four wheel/all wheel drive is important to me since I live in New England. Like everyone, I'd like to get good gas mileage. I just got done with school, so I don't want to spend too much. I'm looking at around $20,000 +/- $2,000. And, of course, I'd like a car that is going to last well. I figured that FSU would have some good general car buying advice as well as potentially some suggestions on what cars I should research further or where to start looking. And that there might be other FSUers who will also be car shopping soon.

WEDDING: Emily Hurley and Mark DeVivo
Emily Joy Hurley and Mark Steven DeVivo were married on June 19, 2013, at Graystone Presbyterian Church in Indiana.
The bride's father officiated along with longtime family friend the Rev. Dr. Robert Eyman, of Lafayette, Ind.
Emily, the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Richard Hurley, of Indiana, chose her four sisters to attend her: Rebecca Benson, Brookline, N.H.; Rachel York, Pembroke, N.H.; and Elise and Jessica Hurley, of Indiana. Emily's niece, Madailein Benson, was the flower girl.
Mark is the son of Gary and Susan DeVivo, of Indiana. John Dellape, of Pittsburgh, served as the best man.
