Where were you when??
This is my first earthquake on the second story. We are in Fullerton, pretty close to the epicenter. We are all alive,
How is everyone???
Where were you when??
This is my first earthquake on the second story. We are in Fullerton, pretty close to the epicenter. We are all alive,
How is everyone???
glad you're ok!!! just heard about it!
don't you love California!! they are saying 5.8 im glad you are alright... as good as you are I bet you didn't even miss a stitch!!8)
ha, you are tooo funny! Yes, so far they are not reporting any damage anywhere,
except for pictures off the wall and cupboards opening.
Yet another reason to "get outta dodge" huh?
I won't forget Indiana,
I was driving at the time and didn't feel it but I heard that some buildings close to the epicenter experience gas lines leaking so check yours if you're in close proximity.
I am glad that y'all are all right!!
hm, thanks for the tip, we have the management walking around.
We will keep our eyes and ears open.
We don't get much of that action this side of the pond... But glad folks are ok.
California's Island-ification -- 22% complete.
yeah, time to invest in the ocean front property in Nevada, LOL
we felt it here in my office
wow, even that far north?
it shook for a long time too, at least it felt that way on the second story
What a ride; up, down, up, down, side to side, and repeat. We're about 10 miles from the Chino epicenter and felt it pretty good too. I was on an early lunch and the whole restaurant shook, but nothing broke thankfully.
It looks like Chino broke some water lines and it's starting to build up on some streets and intersections. Nothing we can't handle.
One thing I don't miss from my days in CA... Remember waking up from one when I was a kid and seeing all the dishes and pantry items all over the kitchen floor once! That wasn't much fun to clean up.. though my Mom did get some nice new dishes.
Glad everyone is okay!
It woke us up this morning! It was my first earthquake, I'm living in SoCal for the rest of the month.
Never had it in my neck of the woods...still, am glad you're okay Debbi.
Stay safe.
Deb and everyone,
It is good to read you guys are OK
Have there been any after shocks????
The quake struck while I was taking the bar exam. Nobody really budged. We all just kept writing...so it was an interesting first day of the bar exam to say the least. Two more days to go! Hopefully no more earthquakes tomorrow or thursday.
Sorry I was on tattooine taking care of some business so I didnt feel anything.
But seriously, I didnt feel anything. Hope everything up north is alright and nobody is hurt.
It really was an interesting day. By the end of the day we were laughing about it. My boss told me her official position is jump over the balcony from our second story and aim for a car. It beats dying in a building, should it ever get that bad. I told her, I will take my chance and go down with the ship if necessary. I ain't jumpin'
It was a wild ride!!
I am very glad no one was seriously injured and no serious losses.!!
I heard about the quake yesterday, but I didn't hear where it actually took place. I had no idea it was so close to you. I am relieved to see this thread saying you guys are OK!!!! Good to see you still have power and internet too, so you can keep in touch with your peeps!
It was felt widespread, but no big damage or injuries. Everyone here is calling this a drill.
We need to get prepared. Check this out..... This is very informative....
Some of you may have already read this but READ IT AGAIN!!
My name is Doug Copp. I am the Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of the
American Rescue Team International (ARTI), the world's most experienced
rescue team. The information in this article will save lives in an
I have crawled inside 875 collapsed buildings, worked with rescue teams
from 60 countries, founded rescue teams in several countries, and I am a
member of many rescue teams from many countries.
I was the United Nations expert in Disaster Mitigation for two years. I
have worked at every major disaster in the world since 1985, except for
simultaneous disasters.
The first building I ever crawled inside of was a school in Mexico City
during the 1985 earthquake. Every child was under its desk. Every child
was crushed to the thickness of their bones. They could have survived by
lying down next to their desks in the aisles. It was obscene, unnecessary
and I wondered why the children were not in the aisles. I didn't at the time
know that the children were told to hide under something.
Simply stated, when buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings
falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these objects, leaving
a space or void next to them. This space is what I call the "triangle of
life" The larger the object, the stronger, the less it will compact. The less the
object compacts, the larger the void, the greater the probability that
the person who is using this void for safety will not be injured. The next
time you watch collapsed buildings, on television, count the "triangles"
you see formed. They are everywhere. It is the most common shape, you will see,
in a collapsed building.
1) Most everyone who simply "ducks and covers" WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE are
crushed to death. People who get under objects, like desks or cars, are crushed.
2) Cats, dogs and babies often naturally curl up in the fetal position.
You should too in an earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct.
You can survive in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa,
next to a large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void
next to it.
3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during
an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake.
If the wooden building does collapse, large survival voids are created.
Also, the wooden building has less concentrated, crushing weight. Brick
buildings will break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many
injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.
4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply
roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels can achieve
a much greater survival rate in earthquakes, sim ply by posting a sign on The
back of the door of every room telling occupants to lie down on the floor,
next to the bottom of the bed during an earthquake
5) If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out
the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to
a sofa, or large chair.
6) Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is
killed. How? If you stand under a doorway and the doorjamb falls forward or
backward you will be crushed by the ceiling above. If the door jam falls
sideways you will be cut in half by the doorway. In either case, you will
be killed!
7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different "moment of
frequency" (they swing separately from the main part of the building).
The stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each
other until structural failure of the stairs takes place. The people who
get on stairs before the y fail are chopped up by the stair treads - horribly
mutilated. Even if the building doesn't collapse, stay away from the
stairs. The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged. Even if
the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may collapse later when
overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be checked for safety,
even when the rest of the building is not damaged.
8) Get Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible
- It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than
the interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the
building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked.
9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls
in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened
with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway. The victims of
the San Francisco earthqua ke all stayed inside of their vehicles. They were
all killed. They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting or
lying next to their vehicles. Everyone killed would have survived if they
had been able to get out of their cars and sit or lie next to them. All the
crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them, except for the cars that
had columns fall directly across them.
10) I discovered, while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper offices
and other offices with a lot of paper, that paper does not compact.
Large voids are found surrounding stacks of paper.
Spread the word and save someone's life... The Entire world is
experiencing natural calamities so be prepared!
"We are but angels with one wing, it takes two to fly"
In 1996 we made a film, which proved my survival methodology to be
correct. The Turkish Federal Government, City of Istanbul , University of
Istanbul Case Productions and ARTI cooperated to film this practical,
scientific test. We collapsed a school and a home with 20 mannequins inside. Ten
mannequins did "duck and cover," and ten mannequins I used in my
"triangle of life" survival method. After the simulated earthquake collapse
we crawled through the rubble and entered the building to film and document
the results. The film, in which I practiced my survival techniques under
directly observable, scientific conditions , relevant to building collapse,
showed there would have been zero percent survival for those doing duck
and cover.
There would likely have been 100 percent survivability for people using
my method of the "triangle of life." This film has been seen by millions
of viewers on television in Turkey and the rest of Europe, and it was seen
in the USA , Canada and Latin America on the TV program Real TV

By Rob Kelly
Arsène Wenger believes that the Premier League has undergone a tactical revolution since his arrival in England in 1996.
The Frenchman inherited an Arsenal team accustomed to a 4-4-2 formation but this has been adapted over time into the 4-3-3 system that is utilised today.
This mirrors the change that has taken place across the top flight and Wenger says it has had far-reaching consequences for forwards.
"When I arrived in England I would say there was one rigid formation, 4-4-2," he told the Official Arsenal Magazine.
"Today teams are more versatile, they can go to three defenders, five defenders, they can go to 4-4-1-1, 4-3-3, 4-5-1, all kinds of variants. I think the formations teams use are much more flexible than 15 years ago, more adaptable.
"So yes, evolution has happened, aided by a lot of European games and the influence of foreign players. You can call it evolution, but to reduce it to an overall point you would say the midfield has been strengthened and the attack has been weakened."

Winning at Chess
Lessons from the World's Best Chess Magazine
'The New in Chess Book of Improvement' is a treasure trove of study material and has chapters on attack and defense, sacrifices, material imbalances, pawn structures, endgames and various positional themes. It includes masterclasses by no fewer than eight World Champions: Tal, Smyslov, Karpov, Kramnik, Anand, Topalov Carlsen and Kasparov. But also chess legends such as Larsen, Kortchnoi, Timman, Ivanchuk, Short, Aronian and Shirov. Together they represent an exciting picture of modern top level chess.
The New in Chess Book of Chess Improvement
3 Chess Books - 1 Price
Brought together for the first time in one volume are three books by the titan of chess, José Capablanca. One of the greatest chess prodigies of all time, he evolved the most perfect chess technique seen on a chessboard. A former World champion, and one of the most successful tournament players in the history of the game, Capablanca's uncanny position judgment empowered him to produce games that were masterful pieces of position play, and that culminated often in combinations of startling brilliancy.
Capablanca x3 - My Chess Career, A Primer of Chess and Chess Fundamentals
In "Thinking Inside the Box", Jacob Aagaard describes his chess improvement philosophy, developed over more than twenty years of thinking about one question: How do we make better decisions at the chess board?

I found a bug with the <hask> tag. I put it on its own page so it doesn't ruin my user page.
1 A practical Cont tutorialIt seems to me like
is way simpler than people make it. I think it's just a way to give a name to the "tail" of a do-block.
The question is, what type should
contstuff :: Magic a contstuff = do thing1 thing2 -- Now I want to manipulate the rest of the computation. -- So I want a magic function that will give me the future to -- play with. magic $ \rest -> -- 'rest' is the rest of the computation. Now I can just do it, -- or do it twice and combine the results, or discard it entirely, -- or do it and then use the result to do it again... it's easy to -- imagine why this might be useful. messAboutWith rest thing3 -- these might get done once, several times, thing4 -- or not at all.
have? Well, let's say the whole do-block results in a thing of type
(without thinking too hard about what this means). Then certainly the function we give
should result in type
as well, since it can run that do-block. The function should also accept a single parameter, referring to the tail of the computation. That's the rest of the do-block, which has type
, right? Well, more or less, with one caveat: we might bind the result of
so the rest of the do-block has an
x <- magic $ \rest -> -- ... thingInvolving x
in it that we need to supply (as well as other variables, but
already has access to those). So the rest of the do-block can be thought of as a bit like
. Given access to the rest of that do-block, we need to produce something of type
a -> r
. So our lambda has type
and hence
(a -> r) -> r
magic :: (a -> r) -> r -> Magic a
Magic a = Cont r a magic = Cont
Tada!The thing with
is I could implement it way before I understood it, because the types have really only one implementation, but here's a way of using the intuition above to implement
without thinking about the types too much:
Well, we've got to build a
instance Functor (Cont r) where fmap f (Cont g) = -- ...
value, and those always start the same way:
Now what? Well, remember what
fmap f (Cont g) = Cont $ \rest -> -- ...
is. It looks like
, where
\rest -> stuffWith (rest val)
is the 'value' of the computation (what would be bound with
). So we want to give it a
, but we don't want it to be called with the 'value' of the computation - we want
to be applied to it first. Well, that's easy:
Load it in `ghci` and the types check. Amazing! Emboldened, let's try
fmap f (Cont x) = Cont $ \rest -> x (\val -> rest (f val))
instance Applicative (Cont r) where pure x = Cont $ \rest -> -- ...
We don't want to do anything special here. The rest of the computation wants a value, let's just give it one:
What about
pure x = Cont $ \rest -> rest x
This is a little trickier, but if we look at how we did
Cont f <*> Cont x = Cont $ \rest -> -- ...
we can guess at how we get the function and the value out to apply one to the other:
Cont f <*> Cont x = Cont $ \rest -> f (\fn -> x (\val -> rest (fn val)))
is a harder challenge, but the same basic tactic applies. Hint: remember to unwrap the newtype with
, or
when necessary.
1.1 So what's callCC?"Call with current continuation". I don't really get the name. Basically, you use
like this:
See if you can work out the type (not too hard: work out the type of exit first, then the do block) then the implementation. Try not to follow the types too much: they will tell you what to write, but not why. Think instead about the strategies we used above, and what each bit means. Hints: remember that
ret <- callCC $ \exit -> do -- A mini Cont block. -- You can bind things to ret in one of two ways: either return -- something at the end as usual, or call exit with something of -- the appropriate type, and the rest of the block will be ignored. when (n < 10) $ exit "small!" when (n > 100) $ exit "big!" return "somewhere in between!"
throws stuff away, and remember to use
or similar, as before.
1.2 What about ContT?The thing with
is that it's literally exactly the same trick. In fact I think the following definition works fine:
The only reason the newtype exists at all is to make the kind compatible with things like
newtype ContT r m a = ContT (Cont (m r) a) deriving (Functor, Applicative, Monad) runContT :: ContT r m a -> (a -> m r) -> m r runContT (ContT m) = runCont m
1.3 Some real examples
The examples in the mtl doc are unconvincing. They don't do anything genuinely daring. Some of them work in any monad! Here's a more complex example:
-- This tends to be useful. runC :: Cont a a -> a runC c = runCont c id faff :: Integer -> Maybe Integer faff n = runC $ do test <- Cont $ \try -> case try n of Nothing -> try (2*n) res -> fmap (subtract 10) res return $ if test < 10 then Nothing else Just test
statement is run with
: if it succeeds then we subtract 10 from the result and return it. If it fails we try again, but with
test = n
: note that if this succeeds, we don't subtract 10. As an exercise, work out how to make the function return (a)
, (b)
, (c)
Just 12
Just 0
1.4 Acknowledgements
I think it was sigfpe who made this click for me, after thinking about how this works: Quick and dirty reinversion of control and there's also this: The Mother of all Monads which is more-or-less the above trick but in a bit more detail.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|i had those boots and i had to replace them after only one season. i found that they were to flexible for me (i think this was partially due to the fact that the the speed lace loosened up with every turn i made) and my heel was lifting despite the boots being as snug as possible (toes touching but not bunched). I was having some real problems riding the steeps cuz i had no support or heel hold. To make it through the season my local shop threw a couple makeshift j-bars cut out from foam into the heel to provide a little extra hold. This definetly helped, but it still wasnt good enough for me and i had to replace the boots this season. boy did i notice a huge improvement when i got some stiffer boots with a better lacing system (they are burton and the speedlace doesnt loosen up at all). It sounds like i may ride a little harder than your wife and her problems might be solved with the j-bars, but im just lettin you know i did not have a good experience with these boots, and they really only seemed fit for an absolute beginner.
Since you bought the boots at a local shop, do they have a fit gaurantee? The shop I work at does. I'm not sure how bad your wife's foot issues are, but there are a few things that are easy and then some more that will be harder/require some expertise. What exactly is the difference in foot size, half, 1, more? Most people feet are not the same size.
It sounds like the boots are too big. Could be length, volume or a combo of the two. First thing, if the shop has a boot fitter (generally a ski boot fitter), go to them and they should be able to make things work. Ideally it would be free or cheap (see fit gaurantee above).
If that isn't an option, you might need to do some things yourself:
1) Your wife (and you) need some kind of aftermarket, supportive insole. I have the Superfeet Wintergreen (now they have Hot Pink for the ladys) in my snowboard boots. You just trim the toe of the insole to fit the boot and you are good to go. There are other brands out there too. Just make sure they are supportive, not Dr. Scholes gel. Even better would be to get some type of custom insole. Superfeet, Instaprint and Surefoot are a few brands.
Insoles will make a huge difference in stabalizing the foot and can be used to take up some volume.
2) Use the J Bars mentioned above.
3) DO NOT crank the boots tight, that will just cut off circulation and cause numb and/or cold feet.
4) There are boot heaters that you can buy to keep the feet warm. They are usually used with ski boots, but can easily be used with snowboard boots too. Burton even has a boot this year with the heating element built in.
Hope this helps. In the future, fit the boots to the smaller foot and then make the other boot a little bigger if needed. When you heat mold the shop can put a cap over your toes to add extra space, do that on the bigger foot side and not the small side.
One other thing, it was mentioned to tighten the boot with your weight back/on your heel. It is actually th opposite, you should put the boot on and then flex forward a few times to get your heel set back into the heel pocket. Then tighten. Remember, you ride with your knees bent. The right boot fit (out of the box) should have your toes touching the front of the boot when you stand up straight and your toes pulling back when you flex like you are riding.
How's that for a first post?
|Man damn it! I thought it said "boob problems". My bad.
my left foot is a half sized smaller than my right so i feel for your wife. tbh what ive finally started doing is finding a good pair of boots and buying two different sizes. i shit you not this was my last resort but it works the best. now i know not everyone has the luxury of shop hookups that make it possible to get two pairs of boots for price of one ( btw my hookup is friend based not because im super awesome pro wanna be dude lol ) so you can also check the last years bins and online retailers. id only buy online after trying the boot on at a shop tho and not make a blind purchase.
as far as heel lift.. alot of time with new folks they just dont understand the mechanics of properly putting the boot on. have her standing with pressure/weight on the heel of the boot like she will be when shes riding then tighten the inner liner. thats what works for me. trial and error with tightness of the liner and laces will eventually lead her to the best amount of pressure and tightening to help prevent heel lift.
Actually, we went to two local shops and she tried on everything they had, which wasn't much as far as women's boots go (basically one model from Vans, Burton, Salomon, and K2). The Salomon boots fit her the best, and I made her follow the steps outlined in the guide from this site. I should have mentioned that before. We bought all her gear from the local shop in one pop.
She's still a beginner and chaperones her schools 3-5 grade ski club. I'm pretty sure last year she hung out with the kids during their lessons. She knows what she's doing and just needs little pointers and a lot more practice. Upgrading from rental gear was leaps and bounds good for her because she actually said "whoa, I can actually carve with this board".
The most important part right now is to figure out how to keep her feet warm and in one place in the boot.

Although my first piece of advice would be to return them, take her to a ski store, and try on a few pairs (months and weeks of research is going overboard, but going in blind and ignorant is no better). If their prices are outlandish, just try them on, make anote of which she liked more, and then buy them online.
However, I would suggest you support the local business even if their prices are a bit higher. One day you'll need an emergency piece of gear and if they go out of business because everyone shopped online, you'll be shit out of luck.
On another note: you, your wife, and snowboarding. I have experience in this area. She jumped the starting gun and ordered boots. Don't get down on her for this. She's obviously very excited to get out on the slopes. Foster this and you'll have a snowboard buddy for life. I don't know how experienced she is, but a private lesson is also money well spent. Have patience and don't yell at her. I've seen guys literally call their girls some pretty derogatory things on the slopes while trying to teach them to board, because they're losing patience. That's not how you teach someone to board. Patience, politeness, respect, compassion, and understanding should be your mantra here. It's worth every second of your time once she starts joining you on the slopes.

hey guys,
a regular on DHC down in VA and the divers section but had a question regarding Vermont moose lottery. Was looking at possibly doing the Non-res lottery. Is there enough public land to hunt them without hiring one of the expensive guide services? lodging reasonable? I do not want to attempt it if I can't freelance it but its been a dream to shoot a moose. I do know the chances of getting a tag is pretty slim but if i start putting in now, figured i might get one in the next five years. any advice woud be much appreciated. plan on trying for Maine and vermont if its worth it as to maybe get drawn before I am 60 (31 now)

Re: Recore Entire Deck
Pretty boat!
Re: Recore Entire Deck
A lot more work to do, and off topic - but finally in the water.
Re: Recore Entire Deck
Were you using true fiberglass "cloth"? A better choice is 17 Oz. uncrimped fabric - often called Biaxial. It drapes nicely, wets out nicely and doesn't move around as much as cloth when you roll & squeegee it. It also builds thickness faster.
Re: Recore Entire Deck
I am done fiberglassing!!!!
Conquered major delays:
- I messed up my knee fooling with a tarp tore my PCL (sort of the opposite of a ACL)
- Working in 90 to 100 degree weather with rain almost every day
I have learned that:
- Working with fiberglass cloth is why cuss words were invented. Fiberglass cloth will NEVER lay down the same way twice.
- CSM is a breeze if you dont mess with it too much once down. Rolling heavy CSM too much at the wrong time causes it to break up on your roller and make an awful mess.
- And today I discovered that Love Bugs are attracted to the smell of Polyester resin. Arrggg!!!
I would do it again- but never ever ever ever ever again in the summer time!!!!
P.S. (I did not reuse the old skin - it just didn't look like it would fit right. I laid all new material)
Re: Recore Entire Deck
Have any pictures for us?
Re: Recore Entire Deck
This weekend I will be finishing up the deck repair. It was a big job, but not nearly as scary or messy as it sounded initially. Advice you guys gave really helped with that. Florida summer weather was really the only bad part about the whole deal. Now that I have all these really cool tools, (and a little bit more experience) I think I might be looking to pick up another distressed boat this winter and do this again!

Re: Recore Entire Deck
Well I think I will start with one of these areas, then confirm what I think is under there and go from there. The bow and the center axis seem to be solid glass and the rounded edges are 1/4" solid glass. Seemed like the safest place to start?
(The supply buying is a little confusing. Here in Florida there are several local sources of resin etc. but I am going to have to go carefully on that.)

I really like Gougeon Bros.' West Systems epoxy and use it for critical applications, because I explicitly trust their standards of manufacture. But for bulk work like this, you can save 50% by purchasing discount epoxy (I wouldn't even consider polyester resin for this job.) There are a number of formulators out there -- and that's all they are, because everyone buys their resins and hardeners from the same two sources. They dilute the hardeners and sometimes add solvents to adjust cure rate, flow out, and mix ratios.
HOWEVER: Some of these discounters supply (or sell) pumps for their epoxies that are not metered. That is, they don't dispense the correct amounts of resin & hardener on a one-pump to one-pump basis. Even if they are different colors, or have different numbers on them, the pumps are identical. YOU have to count the right number of strokes, like "Three resin, one hardener." If you are used to metered pumps from top-end vendors like West or MAS, there is room for heartbreak here.
Do not ask how I know this.
Re: Recore Entire Deck

All that marketing is expensive. Their stuff and prices may be O/K for small jobs and hobby stuff but when you get to an industrial strength job like a deck recore the difference in prices can really add up. When I did my deck it cost me about a boat buck - it would have been way more than two if I had used all WEST products.
For a job like you are contemplating, I'd forget about pumps altogether and go with graduated containers for mixing - you'll get RSI pumping that many little squirts.
Aeromarine has a basic website and some cheap-ass Chinese pumps.
So I try to honor WEST's public service with a hundred bux here and there; if nothing else, it's nice to have them around to ask questions of, and to have their product line available locally in an emergency. But when I'm buying two or three gallons at a time, I choose one of the discount houses. These guys will be seeing a chunk of my bank account next month. I've read the formulators' markup on epoxy runs 7 to 15X -- which I agree seems awfully high. But then, I ain't in the business & hesitate to tell people how they should price stuff.
Measuring cups are certainly faster than pumping. If you want real accuracy, speed, and the ability to mix exactly as much epoxy as required, portioning by weight is ideal. A digital scale in a big Ziplock is your friend! Weight ratios are not always the same as volume ratios tho, so you will need the exact numbers from your formulator. IIRC, WEST with special coatings hardener is 3.5:1 by volume, 3.7:1 by weight.

I am a semi-retired Software Engineer considering a new career as a TEFL teacher.
I was recently laid off and have little hope of finding another job in my field.
I am 61 and have a BS in Electrical Engineering and 30 years experience with computers.
I and my wife love to travel and have visited 37 countries. We lived and worked 12
years in Germany. I was a tutor for Literacy Volunteers of America for about a year.
I was a substitute teacher for over a year in the local school district.
We have considerable savings so the money from teaching will be needed but not
Before I take a TEFL course I have some questions?
Are there TEFL training centers to avoid?
Is there a real advantage to taking the course in a non-english speaking country?
What are the realistic job prospects for my age and lack of experience?
Are there short term assignments (3 to 6 months)?
What are the problems with an accompanied spouse?
How much can I expect to earn?
What about health insurance?

I've almost got a finished helmet, people! Anyway, this is a Don Post 95 green interior that I picked up on Ebay a little over a month ago:
Basic DP 95, no serious problems. I didn't have to mess with the actual shape as much as I thought I would. There was a major warp in the back of the helmet, which I here is very common in all DP standards. What I did was leave the thing out in my car for an hour or so on a hot day. When I went to get it the thing was extremely soft. Took it inside, easily bent it into the shape I wanted, and dunked it in ice water. It hardened into shape flawlessly. Not a bad start. What I did after that was got a close hanger, straightened it with a vice, cut it in half, and curved it to fit the shape, then glued the sucker in with welding glue:
Voila, now the base rim of the helmet doesn't move. Anyway, instead of going over my entire painting process, I think I'll just skip on to the good part and show you the picture of the semi-final painted and weathered product. Perhaps a few touchups will be made, but I'm happy with it at the moment:
So there you have it, my helmet. Also notable is that I cut out the plastic that is inside the visor slot of the DP models (using a very small hacksaw blade, and if you try this, be very careful not to cut into the actual helmet) so that it would be easier to get my visor in place, and I need to sand it sometime (you can see the rough edges on the inside edge of the visor slot where I cut). So that's all it really needs, a visor, and I'll be set, at least for now. And, just a bit of eye candy, here's my Helmet on display in the middle of my huge shelf, which I just finished building for all my electronic appliances:
Comments, criticism?

DALLAS -- Embed reports that Frankie's Fun Parks (Raleigh, NC) and S&M Amusements (Pigeon Forge, TN) have installed its card systems in place of traditional redemption tickets.
Frankie's, which operates family entertainment centers in Charleston, Columbia and Greenville, SC and Raleigh, NC, has made the transition to Embed electronic tickets in all four of its locations.
"The conversion to the ticketless system has been one of the best decisions that we have made in the 23-year history of Frankie's," said owner Doug Godley. "Our customers are having a better experience and are spending more money."
The system has eliminated customers' ticket-related complaints, he added, which has been a morale-booster for the staff.
"Our labor costs are much lower because we need about half the arcade attendants that we needed before the conversion," Godley reported. "The annual cost of 150 million tickets is also eliminated. Another unforeseen benefit is that our arcades are much cleaner without all the ticket scraps and dust generated from shredding the tickets."
S&M Amusements (Gray, TN) has installed Embed's wireless debit card system permitting cashless, ticketless operation of the games in its Big Top Arcade in the popular mountain resort of Pigeon Forge. That site also has been equipped with Embed's Redemption Pro technology to manage the logistics of redeeming prizes.
"S&M Amusements is one of the premier operators in this region, and we are pleased that they selected Embed as their system provider," commented Embed USA account executive Phil Showler.
Embed systems provide a total operating solution for entertainment facilities, from admissions control to integrated event scheduling.

A Merry Family Holiday Special
An activity and gift guide designed to bring the family together
The holidays are upon us, and for most of us, that means family time. But all too often that family time is fleeting. Time spent together may be limited to not much more than meals and exchanging gifts.
So what better way to bring everyone together than by choosing gifts that the family can enjoy together? Many outdoor and recreational activities are well suited to getting the gang together, and the holidays are a good time to put a family fun plan into action, a good time to "get in the game" with activities that include all. And if those activities mean getting up off the sofa and exerting oneself a bit, they can be beneficial in terms of health and fitness.
Today, ever more outdoor and indoor activities are geared toward family participation. A wide variety of games, sports, and leisure time activities are now designed to appeal to a wide cross section of adults and children. No longer do we get a sitter for the kids and head to the ski lift without them. Today, it's all about doing it together.
The popularity of family activities is a trend that will undoubtedly improve the quality of life for many Americans. The emotional connection that can be established when a family plays together opens the door to better communication and establishes a high level of trust.

Jingle All The Way
Enjoy winter sports without giving away all your coin.
The classic winter sports scenario is the stuff of fantasies. It usually includes a cold, crisp day spent skiing fresh powder at a gorgeous mountain resort, followed by an evening in front of the fire at the clubhouse lounge. The very thought of it is enough to warm your heart — while putting a chill on your finances. What's more, with airline inconveniences, long lift lines, icy slopes and unpredictable weather, expensive winter vacations often fail to live up to the imagery.
Fortunately, winter fun need not be expensive. The beauty of the season and a full measure of cold-weather exhilaration can be had close to home for minimal dollars. Many winter sports require very little equipment, investment, or travel, yet they can be very enjoyable. Among them are snowshoeing, sledding, and ice fishing.
Snowshoeing? Didn't that go out of style a few hundred years ago? Hardly. Snowshoeing has become one of America's fastest growing winter sports. And it offers a number of benefits that have led to its rise in popularity.
First, a trek on snowshoes gets you moving in the great outdoors, and some of the best places to snowshoe are beautifully remote locations where others have not tread. Unlike skiing or snowboarding, snowshoeing is easy to learn. If you can walk, you can snowshoe. And you can do it for a minimal investment. Snowshoe prices start at less than $100, and even top-of-the-line models are affordable at around $300.
Finally, snowshoeing offers significant health benefits. It's a low-impact sport, so your chances of injury are minimal. Long snowshoe walks build endurance and strength while burning calories. If you use poles while walking on snowshoes, you'll build upper body strength as well.
Yukon Charlie's, a major supplier of snowshoe equipment, says that while poles are not required they're recommended, since they provide balance and stability on challenging terrain, while reducing stress on the knees and increasing overall cardiovascular activity.
Sledding offers much of the speed and thrills of skiing without the expense. If you have a hill near home that gets a good coat of snow in the winter, your entire family can enjoy this winter sport for a truly minimal investment.
H2O Recreation, a major supplier of sleds, says that inexpensive plastic sleds are among today's top sellers.
"These range from the basic round saucer at less than $10 to 39-inch, 48-inch and 66-inch sleds, ranging in price from about $10 to less than $20," H2O says. "They're used for recreational sledding, but also see service for things like hauling wood and ice fishing. They've been popular for more than 25 years."
Inflatable sleds and tubes have come more recently to the slippery slopes. They provide a soft ride, but do not offer much steering control.
H2O says that foam sleds are a fast growing category. They are lightweight and fun to ride. Many come with colorful graphics. They're available in various lengths, and most are priced between $20 and $30.
Among other available snow toys that can provide thrills on hills are snow scooters, which combine a snowboard with a scooter-like hinged handle. Classic wooden sleds are available as well. While more costly than modern alternatives, they are a blast from the past.
Ice Fishing
Ice fishing is a fast growing sport that offers relaxing entertainment for countless anglers. In the cold northern regions of the country, it's not uncommon to see a flotilla of fishing huts out on a frozen lake.
The first rule of ice fishing is "be safe." The U.S. Army Cold Regions Research & Engineering Laboratory recommends that only those in good physical condition should venture out onto the ice, because of the intense exertion that can accompany ice emergencies. Clothing should not restrict your ability to stay afloat. Hip boots and waders are taboo. A flotation vest or jacket is recommended. Ice picks that can help a fallen fisherman grip the edge of an ice sheet can be life savers.
When heading out on the ice, check the thickness every 150 feet or so by drilling a hole with your drill or ice auger. Check it more often if you find that the thickness varies. Determining how thick the ice has to be to support a load is complicated, as there are many variables. You can find detailed charts and specific recommendations on the U.S. Army web page at http://www.crrel.usace.army.mil/ierd/ice_safety/safety.html.
While elaborate ice-fishing equipment is available, you don't need a lot to get started. South Bend Sporting Goods, says her company offers a kit that includes everything you need to start ice fishing. It's called the R2F Panfish Complete Ice Fishing Combo, and it comes with a rod, pre-spooled reel, a tackle box, and more.
Of course, you can't fish until you've cut a hole in the ice. For that you'll need an ice auger. A sled to carry the auger is most helpful as well. An ice scoop — essentially a dipper with holes in the bottom — is needed to keep your fishing hole clear.
The dangers of frostbite and overexposure can be significant for the unprotected fisherman. If you plan on being out on the ice for more than a couple hours, a shelter is a good investment. Frabill, Inc., a leading manufacturer of ice-fishing shelters, says that hub-style shelters are lightweight and range in price from $150 to $300. Black in color, they retain quite a bit of the sun's heat on a bright day.
Whether you snowshoe, sled or fish, you're going to want to end the day just like those folks at the fancy resorts do: in front of the fire with a cup of hot chocolate in hand. It's the perfect conclusion to a great day of active winter fun. And you don't have to travel to Aspen to enjoy it.

Baby Sam's nursery inspiration!

This morning I sat in a comfortable rose colored, Queen Ann chair staring out as the day arrived. I am blessed to be at one of my favorite retreat centers for a three day retreat. One of the blessings of this experience is that I am clueless as to what is going to happen. I am not in leadership in any way and am simply here to receive and be present to whatever has been planned. Just writing those words brings about an 'ahhhh' in my chest. It is a rare and wonderful gift in the midst of Lent to be able to experience this kind of space and time. I am grateful.
Sitting as I did, looking out at the frozen lake now void of the colorful ice houses that dotted it earlier in the year, I watched as the light turned the snowy landscape from darkness to light. As it did, the color blue was opened up in all its various hues…..from navy to steel gray and on into pale blue and then white. It was like watching a color wheel turn. This play of color and light framed perfectly the black silhouette of bare branches that adorn the lakeside, waiting for the spring that is yet to be.
At one particular turn of that color wheel, when the sky was that faint tone of Scandinavian blue, my eyes were drawn to the lace of the branches. What became clear in this light were the many buds that perched on all the skeletal extensions. New life! My heart warmed at the prospect in this still frozen landscape.
Those who know trees will tell you that the buds are there all the time even in the dead of winter. But we don't see them or we forget to look. Within the flow of life in the tree, new life is always coursing, waiting to break forth at the perfect and appointed time. It is their nature. And ours.
My morning devotion from a book by Joan Chittister, ended with the prayer prompt:"Give me, Great God, a sense of the Breath of the Spirit within me as I……..". It is my prayer work to fill in the blank. Just like the trees who appear stark and naked, dead even, that Breath of the Spirit still moves within me. And you. As we walk around in our dailiness, most people cannot see the buds of new life that we wear. But they are there. Waiting for the perfect moment to be nurtured, fed, watered, honored. Waiting to bring forth something that has not been before.
May this day find me, find you, taking the time and space to have a sense of the Breath of the Spirit within so we can prepare the soil of our lives for what is new, what is waiting to burst forth. May this day find each of us looking with new eyes for all that is budding. In this winter landscape. In those we meet. In those places that seem hard and impossible. In those we love and those who are like a splinter in our finger. In the landscape that opens before us this day.
Give us, Great God, as sense of the Breath of the Spirit within us today as we………….
You fill in the blank.
