If you are on the west coast, I would be interested in buying your A4.
Gasoline fuel pumps tend to be "ignition" protected no matter what the application, land or marine. It isn't like alternators, where the marine models have additional vapor-ignition protection. I suppose a pump designed for the land market might have a nice aluminum casing which promptly pits away in salt air, but I don't think an insurer would bother looking all that closely at whether a pump was USCG approved, the claims value on any old boat with an A4 in it just isn't going to be all that high. (And the pump maker could be held liable in any case.)
I'd have to agree with cpaul, that's not one to lose sleep over. But like anything on a boat--and all too much of anything in stores these days--you need to eyeball it and see if it has been built right for your needs.
I'd disagree on the starting fluid, though. Flammable vapors below? No need, just spray the same areas with Windex or plain water, if the engine speeds up then stumbles it has ingested the spray. (Speeds up as the water blocks the leak, stumbles as the water gets into the cylinders.) Some mechanics also use propane from an unlit torch--which works the same as starting fluid, more or less. Still a flammable gas problem on a boat, I'd prefer the spray bottle.
USCG approved Windex, of course. (VBG)
I dont like to disagree with cardiacpaul
BUT if your going with and electric fuel pump it does need to be MARINE AND IT DOES need to be wired correctly so that it ONLY runs when your cranking and uses and oil pressure switch to keep it running after the motor starts
You also need to use real A1 marine fuel line
If you pop auto parts into a marine gas motor and it pops or burns you will have insurance issues and could end up killing yourself
|Let's not forget the A4, like almost all gasoline engines of that vintage, uses a carburetor. Carbs need to be stripped down and rebuilt every 5 years in routine use, more often if fuel has been left in them without stabilant during the off-season. Carbs simply gum up from normal gasoline aging in them (less of a problem since gasoline was generally reformulated by the 90's) and thsat's one advantage of a diesel engine--no carb, fuel injection system instead. Of course when a diesel FI system has problems, they can be way more of a problem than a simple carb rebuild. Catch-22.
No wonder your handle is "cardiacpaul". You might want to calm down a bit before the big one.
I can just see CP sitting at his computer, gritting his teeth, vein popping-out on his forehead, the Cuban glancing at him worriedly--concerned he's gonna stroke out
The above is why I don't spend more time at the MM site. Beside the fact my mad IC engine skillz aren't what they used to be, I fear I'd too-often go ballistic over IC engine n00bs w/o a clue going in all the wrong directions, doing all the wrong things, reporting the wrong things, mis-reporting the things they do get right... Seen it many, many times, over there. Sometimes I read, shake my head, and think "That can't possibly be right."
Not trying to pick on you, chtaylor. You're having iron genny problems and haven't a clue about IC engines. Not your fault--exactly. But what you're going thru isn't your A4's fault, either.
Btw: Water in the oil. I suppose this has been asked, already, but I don't suppose you once-or-twice cranked too long w/o her starting, with the raw water intake open, did you? Check the MM site for how to check for water in the cylinders. It'll come into #4, first, then on to the others. If that's the problem, and it's not too bad, it's pretty easily fixed.
Tho "IC engine mechanic" wasn't on the list of skills at which you wished to become proficient when you got into sailing, that iron genoa is part of your boat, and, if you're like the rest of us, a pretty damn imporant part when you need it. So it would behoove you to become somewhat proficient at it, whether you really want to or not. Life will be easier. Or you could hire it done. Expensive, tho, and if you're out in the middle of nowhere and a minor problem crops up, well... (Not-to-mention that, once you know what you're about, you'll probably do a better job, anyway.)
The good news is it sounds like your A4 isn't in bad shape at all. Just needs the right fixes.
Good luck.
No wonder your handle is "cardiacpaul". You might want to calm down, take a tranqualizer or go sailing a bit before the big one hits you. Also, as I was seeking advice on a decision of whether to have the engine rebuilt or replaced, your insulting critique of my attempts at repairing the engine is irrelevant.
You make an unwarranted assumption that I have a "desire to work on my own stuff".
Nothing could be further from the truth. My only desire is to sail. But since I have not become wealthy in my lifetime, I'm forced to attempt to do my own work. Unfortunately, I was not born with your innate knowledge of internal combustion engines.
Thanks for the responses. Here's a thread that explains SOME of the problems that I have been having with the engine:
At Wits' End - Moyer Marine Atomic 4 Community
Now, I have water in the oil. I checked the entire exhaust system for clogs and now suspect a blown head gasket.
At any rate, I'm tired of spending more time working on the engine than sailing and my disgust level has maxed out.
I understand that the Atomic 4 was, perhaps, a good engine it its day and that the engine is old; but THIS engine is a POS.
Charles Taylor
Charles, a used diesel that hasn't been rebuilt is still an unknown factor. How willing is the mechanic to warranty it? How available is he to come and work on it, if there is a problem?
It does seem marginal on the horsepower, but then again diesels and gas engines have different torque curves as well--so the hp isn't effectively the same. (Well, it is, but the torque makes a difference.) I'm not sure that you wouldn't also need to change the transmission in order to run the diesel at the right speed as well.
If fuel stowage and pricing isn't an issue, a properly rebuilt A4 should be a perfectly serviceable and good powerplant. It isn't unreliable because it is an A4, or because it is a gasoline engine. It is an OLD engine, and that's a problem no matter what the fuel is. Two grand wouldn't be bad, for a complete rebuild, if it was done properly with no corners cut.
The Atomic 4 that came with my 1977 Ericson 32 has been a pain in the rear ever since I bought the boat 2 years ago.
Any thoughts on the pros and cons of rebuilding the Atomic vs. replacing it with the Yanmar would be greatly appreciated.
Personally, as I noted there, I'd prefer to keep the A4. I prefer gasoline-powered engines over diesel.

By Chris Harris
Players and managers both have a responsibility to rid football of reckless tackling, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Arsenal manager has banged the drum against over-the-top challenges for years and his views have won plenty of backing in recent weeks after a string of serious injuries in the Premier League.
Danny Murphy hit the headlines earlier this month after suggesting that "brainless and ridiculous" tackles were inevitable because players were "so pumped up" by their managers before matches.
The Fulham captain urged managers to take responsibility for their players and Wenger understands Murphy's point. But the Arsenal boss insists that players should not be allowed to pass the buck if they commit violent challenges.
"I believe he [Murphy] said we as managers have a responsibility in the behaviour of our team, and I agree, I do not deny it," said Wenger.
"I am not in the other dressing room, so I do not know [what goes on] and I never ask any player if he has been wound up by his manager.
"But as I always say, the referees have the rules for them and [have] to get the game respected and the players have to respect each other, no matter what they are instructed to do.
"I am a strong believer that you are responsible for what you say and what you do. When I make a mistake, I do not look at anybody else to say 'it is his fault' - it is my fault and if I behave wrongly, it is my fault it is not somebody else's.
"If a player does bad tackling, it is too easy to hide behind the manager's instruction because you are responsible for how you behave."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Notification procedures:
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the system manager(s) at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
If notification is requested by telephone, an individual must verify his/her identity by providing identifying information that parallels information in the record to which notification is being requested. If it is determined that the identifying information provided by telephone is insufficient, the individual will be required to submit a request in writing or in person. If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth, along with one other piece of information, such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent in providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Record access procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably specify the record contents being sought. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Contesting record procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Also, requesters should reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting and the corrective action sought, and the reasons for the correction, with supporting justification showing how the record is incomplete, untimely, inaccurate or irrelevant. This procedure is in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)).
Record source categories:
Information in this system of records either comes from the individual to whom it applies, is derived from information supplied by the individual, or is provided by SSA officials.
Systems exempted from certain provisions of the Privacy Act:
Note: When supervisors/managers retain personal "supervisory'' notes (i.e., information on employees that the Agency exercises no control and does not require or specifically describe in its performance appraisal system, which remain solely for the personal use of the author and are not provided to any other person, and which are retained or discarded at the author's sole discretion), such notes are not subject to the Privacy Act and are, therefore, not considered part of this system. If any of the above conditions are violated, these notes are no longer merely personal notes serving as an aid to the supervisor's memory, but become records subject to the Privacy Act.

Sadly only two pics that didnt turn out .
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Got back from camping today Gunther did great. We had to change the plans a bit and ended up going to Pomeroy, WA (nothing is there o.o I got a little bored sadly but when you have to change our reservation the day before to a completely different place you can't complain about your choices). Winthrop, WA was out of water, electricity and gasoline due to the huge wild fire out in Eastern Washington. The campsite was in between Pomeroy and Dayton so really in the middle of nowhere but farmland.
It was adorable watching Gunther try to figure out from a distance what deer, wild turkeys and quails were haha .
We only had one potty accident in the car because we couldn't find a safe place to pull over and pushed it because we were only thirty minutes away but it wasn't that big of a deal, easy clean up. He just is so easily distracted when in a new environment that he forgets to use the bathroom.
He's thoroughly exhausted from the 5 1/2 hour car ride home with three breaks and a zillion things to smell.
He was perfectly behaved though. No barking or anything, just the occasional whine when one of us left. We're all glad to be home and probably won't be hitting up that campsite again. I think three hours is our max travel time for camping.
I only had a few shots of Gunther on his tie out at the campsite (he slept in the tent with us) because I couldn't keep my phone charged.
He enjoyed the river at one of the state parks which was surprising because he hates water but walked in like it was nothing made my day and an excuse to get a kiddie pool.
I wanted to thank you all for all your advice! The glow stick worked perfectly and kept him from getting accidentally stepped on in the dark. I didn't have to worry about keeping him away from the fire due to a burn ban. I had a thirty foot heavy-duty tie out that I shortened by wrapping around trees and used a carabiner to attach it to his leash so he had a decent amount of range inside the campsite. I didn't have to worry about water, brought plenty and still have 2 gallons in the fridge left over.
I'll have pics up tomorrow...well since it's almost 1am, later today then!
I think exposure to nature and the various germs and bacteria they encounter out there from a young age as well as proper nutrition and base vaccinations builds a strong dog that can handle drinking out of a puddle or going for a wade in the swamp without dying.
There are always exceptions to every rule. There are always freak accidents, and genetic outliers. In the end you realize life is just to short, especially if your a dog. They live and thrive in terrible conditions here and around the world. Strong, intelligent, adaptable and resilient.
|I think we got ours at Bass Pro or Cabelas...or search amazon....I can't imagine keeping our dogs out of lakes or rivers...they love swimming....

You've got plenty of risks around K-W for water borne diseases. Fecal matter, algae blooms, giardia, etc., etc. I do not "bubble-wrap" my dog by any stretch of the imagination but that doesn't mean I'm not cognizant of environmental risks. Bacteria can grow in any standing water and it is best to train your dog never to drink water from puddles, ponds or lakes. That way they are at much lower risk of picking something up.
Lol I let my dogs be dogs. I dont fret because they have drunk out of a puddle or jumped in the lake..
The extent of my bubble wrap is not letting them run into the road. All of living is a risk. You can go insane trying to avert every possible instance of danger or risk. Or you can let the dogs enjoy life, be dogs, and still take reasonable precautions. (see not letting the dogs run onto the road)
I find dogs prefer and adjust to the latter. Makes life easier on them and us.
Generally people that are members of the former category seem to have a lot of other stuff going on that negatively impacts or impedes the effective training of said dogs.

We usually go early enough or late enough in the season that we don't always leash her, no other campers around us.
Hi I go camping alot with my dogs kinda prefer to sleep outdoors When I first moved to vancouver Island I got a gsd to camp with thinking from a defensive view There are things in the wilderness that see humans as prey Companionship as well I go by myself Average trip 3 days out by foot 3days back
I would suggest bear bells for the dog's collar (play lots of hide and seek with him Helps the dog to keep me in sight Helps the dog to circle back and check on me Renforces natural unspoken communication so I belive)
We pack lite but the load is divided Tryed a pack did not think much either way Use a ,not sure of the name Two branches one on each side of the dog webbed together on a old modified pulling harness Make them as I need them can adjust the width Native American's used it behind their ponies The dog likes the work We take a break when I need one
Water is not a issue Dogs can drink water that a human could not As long as the water is clean and moving should have little issues Can always boil the water to remove all doubts Feed is 2cups more than normal rations Broken down to feeding each rest stop( I eat and have coffee aprox every 2 hours at the longest The rest for nite feeding)
At the camp when setting up I use a short cable run at first So I can not concern myself where and what the dog is doing and the dog gets the idea of sticking around the camp
(As with hide and seek to get the dog to check on me and sticking arround the camp I encourage the dog to make the connection on their own with little input comand on my behalf)
He may be nervous a bit with all the new stuff But that is good for you You can be come his protector so to speak by showing him all is well
Flea tick and heart worm may be something to look into As for the fire I see stuff like that as a learning curve thing
You should have a blast camping with your gsd

There is an equation that you can use to estimate what size of carb to use based on max RPM and engine size. It is RPM*(Cubic Inches)/3456. If you assumed a max RPM of 6000 RPM for your setup, 6000*427/3456=741cc. This assumes 100% volumetric efficiency, which most street motors do not achieve, so in that case it is a little bit of an over estimate. According to that equation, I think a 750 would work well. If you wanted it to breathe a little more on the top end, you could go with a 800 or something like that.
What carb do you think I should run?
I really like the dual quad set up.
Usually, you would want to run a fairly good sized head and cam to enable this motor to breathe. In your case, if you are limited to a dual plane intake, you might as well match all the other parts up to that intake and buy a smaller head that still flows well. That will make for a very responsive very torquy motor. It will probably stop making power at a relatively low RPM, but it will make alot of power up to there. Below is what I would recommend and an article with a similar setup.
AFR 195cc (street or comp ported depending on how much you want to spend)
Performer RPM air gap intake
XR294HR cam (242 248 @.050 duration .540 .562 lift +1.6 rockers = .570 ..592 lift)
With the size of the motor, I think you should be able to get away with running power brakes, but I would call comp and see what they say. I recommend going bigger on the cam than in the article because I think it matches the motor better.
Here is a similar motor and what it did
AFR 195cc heads
236 244 @.050 .550 .550 lift solid roller cam
single plane with fuel injection
Made 560 hp @ 6200 RPM 547 ft lbs at 4700 RPM
In the article, they used a single plane and fuel injection, but I think your motor should still be around 530 hp at a lesser RPM pretty easily and more torque down low. I think it will fit under your hood. I had a 1972 ventura (same as a nova) with a small block with the performer RPM that fit, but barely. (I had a 3" or 4", not sure which one, air filter with a drop base) I dont know if your block is stock deck height, or if the Perfomer RPM air gap is taller than the Performer RPM. You can see the motor in my photo album
If you wanted to go with a dual quad setup that might fit under the hood, the one below might work, it is not cheap though.
Also, AFR's new heads have 65cc combustion chambers. With those heads and your pistons with a .045 piston to head clearance, you would be right at 10.2:1 which would be about perfect.
Motown 427 Short Block Build
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to finish out a Motown 427 short block (low comp., -20cc Rev Dome pistons). Its going in a 69 Camaro vert. Ive got a Currie 9 with 3.70 gears and a TKO-600 w/ the .64 OD.
The complete crate engine from World has 520 hp and 495 ft. lbs. Id like to build my engine with at least 500 hp and about the same on the torque. One trick is I need to keep this thing under the stock hood and its not a cowl. That probably means a dual plane manifold and if possible Id like to put dual quads on it (just cause I think theyre cool). I also need to be able to run the AC, pwr steering and breaks.
Im confident I can put the engine together I just dont know what heads, cam etc.. to use. I do know Id like to stay hydraulic on the lifters to stay away from the maintenance of adjusting the solids. Any help would be great.

It's so nice to have this little strawberry just hanging from one finger than a folded up bag under your arm that keeps slipping away while you're shopping. They are cute and such a clever idea. Perfect for stocking stuffers and party favors, too!

I purchased these tote bags to have at my church's Strawberry Festival. It was a little time consuming to fold the bags into the little strawberries, but everyone loved them and thought they were adorable. I would definitely get more in the future.

Cute. Convenient. Practical. I give them to friends and co-workers and receive positive comments. For me, it is easy to carry 2 or 3 with me. I use them frequently.

I love these tote bags. They are the perfect size for groceries and miscellaneous purchases. I carry one in my purse so that it is always handy. It is sturdy and holds up well. I gave these as gifts at Christmas. They were a real hit. One friend has attached hers to the handle of her purse, so it doesn't even take up space inside her purse. I ordered these a short while before Christmas. It arrived very quickly in plenty of time.

I bought a bunch of these to use as gift bags for my wedding hotel guests. This way, guests could have a bag they could reuse again and again. These were sooo cute. One of the 30 bags I ordered didn't come with the spring-loaded tie thing, but the rest were fine. The guests all loved them; one friend still uses them everyday. I've been using these now for about 7 months, and one has recently started to tear. My guess is that I overloaded it with heavy stuff. If you use it just to hold veggies and lighter stuff (rather than cans, as I did) it will last a lot longer. Still, it's so cute, and I usually keep a strawberry or two in my purse when I'm doing errands.

Diane Winston is a national authority on religion and the media as both a journalist and a scholar. Her expertise includes religion, politics and the news media as well as religion and the entertainment media. Professor Winston's current research interests are religion and the entertainment media, media coverage of Islam and of changing Christianities, and the role of religion in American identity.
Winston's courses examine religion, spirituality and ethics in relationship to journalism, entertainment media, American history and foreign policy. Her class on international religion reporting has taken students to cover conflict and coexistence in Israel and Palestine, growing secularism in Ireland http://trans-missions.org/ireland/, and elections in India http://trans-missions.org/india2014/. In addition to partnering with Global Post and KPCC, she has helped students place their work in outlets including the Washington Post, the Jerusalem Post, Der Spiegel, Christian Science Monitor, the Los Angeles Times and the Atlantic.
"Hollywood, Faith and Media," her course on how television narratives incorporate religion, spirituality and ethics has hosted writer/directors such as David Shore ("House"), Barbara Hall ("Joan of Arcadia" and "Madame Secretary") and Ronald Moore ("Battlestar Galactica" and "Outlander."). The guest lectures are available on YouTube. Her other courses include American Religion, Foreign Policy and the News Media; American Spirituality: Radicals, Rebels, and Freethinkers, and Jesus is My Homeboy: An Introduction to American Religious History
In her work as Knight Chair, Winston routinely organizes conferences on religion's role in the media. Convenings have explored post-9/11 television and the war on terror; religion and electoral politics; Arab democracy in the post-Arab Spring era; religion and the 2016 elections, and the Syrian refugee crisis. In fall 2015, she organized a Visions and Voices event, "Windows on Death Row" that featured editorial cartoons and art work from Death Row prisoners that illuminated the issue of capital punishment
Winston is currently working on several research projects, including three books: Un/Real Religion: Religion and Reality TV, an edited collection; Lost and Found: Religion in Los Angeles, also an edited collection and A Shining City: Religion, News and Reagan's America. Her other books include: The Oxford Handbook on Religion and the American News Media (Oxford University Press, 2012); Small Screen, Big Picture: Television and Lived Religion, editor, (Baylor University Press, 2009); Faith in the Market: Religion and the Rise of Urban Commercial Culture, co-edited with John Giggie, (Rutgers University Press, 2002); Red-Hot and Righteous: The Urban Religion of the Salvation Army, (Harvard University Press, 1999).
Winston is publisher of Religion Dispatches, a daily online magazine on religion, politics and culture, and she is on the executive board of the International Society for Media, Religion and Culture. Since 2006, Winston has received 14 grants for her work.
Before coming to USC, Winston was a program officer at the Pew Charitable Trusts. Between 1983 and 1995, she covered religion at the Raleigh News and Observer, the Dallas Times Herald and the Baltimore Sun and contributed regularly to the Dallas Morning News. She has won numerous press association awards and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for her work in Raleigh, Dallas and Baltimore. Her articles have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and the Chronicle of Higher Education among other publications.
Winston received a Ph.D. in Religion from Princeton University. She also holds Master's degrees from Harvard Divinity School, the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and Brandeis University.
Program Overview
In today's world, religion plays a crucial role in domestic and international affairs. That's why reporters benefit by understanding the importance of religion, spirituality, ethics and values to both individuals and society.
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, aware that religion coverage requires more than "a few good religious beat reporters," conceived of the Knight Chair in Media and Religion as a rallying point for the re-visioning of religion in the news.
In 2002, the foundation awarded the $1.5 million Chair to the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism in recognition of the school's commitment to enhancing media coverage of religion in the 21st century and raising public awareness of religion's socio-cultural significance. The school pledged to facilitate better coverage of religion, spirituality, ethics and values, and recruited Dr. Diane Winston to the Chair.
The Knight Program in Media and Religion is internationally recognized for its innovative research, practical resources and journalistic training. Thanks to the university's many resources — including the School of Religion, Center for Religion and Civic Culture, the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics, the School of Cinematic Arts, and the Norman Lear Center, as well as local stakeholders such as Hebrew Union College, Fuller Theological Seminary, and the Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Foundation, — the new Knight Program can integrate professional excellence with cutting-edge research. In addition, Southern California's diverse religious constituencies — ranging from long-established Catholic, Protestant and Jewish communities to evangelicals, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims and members of new religious movements — provide the ideal laboratory for the study and documentation of Diaspora religions as well as the more homegrown varieties.
The Knight Chair in Media and Religion participates in a wide range of activities, including fellowships for in-depth, explanatory reporting, conferences for working journalists, community events and resource development. Dr. Winston addresses a host of issues surrounding religion and media through her writing and public speaking, as well as her development of coursework and symposiums. Through these outreach activities, USC Annenberg has become a hub for re-visioning how the press—and society itself—thinks about and reports on religion.
Mission Statement
The Knight Chair seeks to establish the Annenberg School for Communication as a pre-eminent location for the enhancement of religion coverage—not simply confined to the traditional realms of religion reporting but one which proactively illuminates the intersection of religion and all beats, whether politics, environment, education, or entertainment. The Chair will develop courses for journalism students, sponsor public events, and initiate venture projects with local constituencies. The program aims to serve the news industry by working with media corporations and professional journalism associations to create an environment conducive to the critical understanding of religion, spirituality, and moral values as fundamental elements of coverage. In this capacity, the Chair will initiate continuing education programs that benefit journalists.

Colin Van Ostern found home for him when he moved to NH
CONCORD - For decades New Hampshire thrived by attracting young, highly educated people to join the state's workforce, and Colin Van Ostern was one.
Born in California 33 years ago, Van Ostern moved every couple of years with his family until 1993 when he moved to Washington, D.C., on the day former President Bill Clinton was sworn into office for the first time.
"It was an amazing experience to see a million people come out and to see the optimism for our country," he said. "It was really about embracing our county's future."
Van Ostern, who was recently elected as the District 2 Executive Councilor and is a brand manager for Stonyfield, Inc., later served as a White House intern.
His love of politics led him to New Hampshire in the summer of 2001 to be former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen's communications director for her 2002 U.S. Senate campaign.
"Until that point, I moved around my whole life," Van Ostern said. "I.fell in love with New Hampshire and I've lived here longer than anywhere else. I met my wife, Kristyn, here - she also worked on Jeanne Shaheen's campaign in 2001."
The Concord resident did not leave after the Shaheen campaign, but instead went to Dartmouth and earned his MBA while serving as associate director of public relations for the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.
Soon after he graduated, he was offered a job at Apple in California not far from where he went to elementary school. He said he was really tempted because he always loved technology and worked as an intern on a start-up technology firm when he was in college.
"After I went to Apple, I visited the house we used to live in and spent a lot of time thinking," Van Ostern said. "When I got back to New Hampshire, I bought a puppy and proposed to my wife and decided I was going to stay in New Hampshire."
While in New Hampshire, Van Ostern has run his own consulting and marketing firm, Washington Street Consulting, advising nonprofits and small businesses, and was campaign manager for Annie McLane Kuster's 2010 campaign for the 2nd District Congressional seat.
Now his focus is on the Executive Council and his job at Stoneyfield. ?"This is a particularly important time with a new governor, and I look forward to working with her and the other councilors to focus as much as possible on strengthening our economy," he said.
He called Stonyfield a fantastic company to work for and said he is working hard to grow its business, most recently by helping launch Stonyfield YoKids Smoothies - real yogurt smoothies with organic fruits and vegetables - that he said is doing very well.
But he worries the state is not attracting young professionals and their families like it used to when he came to New Hampshire.
"It's a huge challenge for us and something the government can't fix," Van Ostern said. "It has to be driven by the private sector and strengthening communities."
Van Ostern lives in Concord with his wife, son Peter and dog Moses.

The Australian Children's Folklore Collection (ACFC) was developed from research begun in the 1970s by Dr June Factor and Dr Gwenda Davey. It now consists of more than 10 000 card files and other documents listing children's games, rhymes, riddles, jokes, superstitions and other kinds of children's folklore, together with photographs, audio cassettes, video tapes, play artefacts and a number of specialist collections of children's lore. The archive continues to grow and is accessible to researchers. It is utilised by scholars from a variety of disciplines, as well as writers, journalists and others interested in childhood.
The Australian Children's Folklore Collection is the first Museum Victoria collection to be placed on the prestigious UNESCO Australian Memory of the World register.
Donations of material continue to be received, and financial support from individuals and institutions is welcomed.
Play and Folklore was published bi-annually between 1981 and 2016 by Museums Victoria's Humanities Department as forum for discussion about childhood and children's culture. It included articles, letters, memoirs and research studies that examined what children do when largely free of adult direction or control — their colloquial speech, songs, games, rhymes, riddles, jokes, insults and secret languages, their friendships and enmities, their beliefs and hopes. Play and Folklore was previously published as the Australian Children's Folklore Newsletter (1981-1996). Play and Folklore was edited by June Factor, Gwenda Beed Davey and Judy McKinty. Every issue of Play and Folklore is available through Museums Victoria's website.
The Australian Children's Folklore Collection classifies children's folklore as either folklore of children, or folklore for and about children, depending on whether the main persons transmitting the lore are children or adults.
Folklore of children consists largely of play lore, such as rhymes, games, taunts, jokes and riddles. Folklore for and about children consists of those traditional songs, games, finger plays, stories, proverbs and sayings that are passed on informally by adults.

The Collection holds over 10 000 cards and other written material recording children's playlore. Most informants were children, but material has also been collected from adults. The material reaches back to the 1870s, but most was collected after 1970. The material held on cards includes:

This collection consists of interviews with Aboriginal adults and children living in Victoria, collected between 1991and 1997, as well as audiotapes, fieldwork data sheets and photographs. The collection is funded by the Stegley Foundation and some access restrictions apply.
This is a small collection of adult memories of childhood games and pastimes. Folklore collected from adults can also be found in other sections of the archive, including Play Lore, and the audiotapes made by Norman O'Connor and Wendy Lowenstein.
In 1984 researcher Heather Russell conducted an ethnographic study of the playground at Debney Meadows Primary School – a multicultural, inner-suburban primary school in Melbourne. It chronicles playground life, games, rhymes, and the relationships between children. The material includes playground observations, photographs and videos of playground activities and audio cassettes of interviews with children from different cultural backgrounds. The project is documented in the publication Play and Friendships in a Multicultural Playground.

This collection was developed by renowned American folklorist Dr Dorothy Howard during her 10 months in Australia (1954-55). It contains original notes and descriptions of some 1 000 games from all over Australia, dating back to the 1870s, as well as playground rhymes, taunts, jokes and a file of play language and terminology. It also includes Dr Howard's published articles on Australian children's folklore, photographs, play artefacts, memorabilia and correspondence from child and adult informants. In 2005, Museum Victoria published compilation of Dr Howard's articles in Child's Play, edited by Kate Darian-Smith and June Factor.

You're IT! was an exhibition at Museum Victoria's former Children's Museum between December 1988 and July 1993. Written descriptions of games and rhymes were collected from visitors to the exhibition. Other material includes videos, audio cassettes, photographs and playthings related to the exhibition
This collection consists of play rhymes collected for the first edition of Professor Ian Turner's compilation, Cinderella Dressed in Yella (Heinemann Ed. 1969), and for the second, enlarged edition compiled and edited by Ian Turner, June Factor and Wendy Lowenstein (Heinemann Ed. 1978). Included are two audio cassettes of a 1968 lecture on children's rhymes by Ian Turner.
This collection contains material collected and written by undergraduate and postgraduate students at the Institute of Early Childhood Development, Melbourne (now part of the Faculty of Education, University of Melbourne) in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Fieldwork includes research papers, photographs and audio cassettes.
The Regional Collection includes material collected from children in Burnie, Tasmania, August 1990, by June Factor; slides of children's games taken during the Moe Folklife Project, 1995, conducted by Gwenda Davey; and recollections of play and verbal lore collected by June Factor and Gwenda Davey from undergraduates at the University of Queensland, August 1998.
Childhood, Tradition and Change is a nation-wide study that documents and analyses the historical development of Australian children's playlore over a fifty year period. Funded by the Australian Research Council Linkage Project Scheme (LP0663282), with support from the University of Melbourne, Deakin University, Curtin University of Technology, the National Library of Australia and Museum Victoria, research for the project was carried out over four years (2007-2010). Data collection was completed in 2010 and the investigators are now analysing the material in order to produce the first comprehensive national study of continuity and change in children's playlore from the 1950s to the present. A publicly accessible database of games and play documented by the Childhood, Tradition and Change project is available at http://ctac.esrc.unimelb.edu.au/. Videos and oral histories from this project are held by Museum Victoria.
The ACFC holds over 300 folkloric play objects from Australia and overseas. Material includes traditional playthings such as marbles, knucklebones, home-made dried-apple dolls and wire cars.

This collection consists of about 500 items of folklore told to children by adults in Arabic, Croatian, English, Greek, Italian, Macedonian, Serbian, Spanish and Turkish. There is a manual in English and English translations of Italian and Greek material. All items are indexed. It was collected by Gwenda Davey, mainly in 1976 and 1977. The material includes various elements of children's play and lore, such as baby play, ball bouncing, circle games and rhymes, clapping, counting out, lullabies, games, rhymes, poems, songs and stories. There are also two cassettes of Pitjantjatjara songs and stories.
This material, including two videotapes, was collected in the 1980s from both English and non-English speaking communities, mainly by students at the Institute of Early Childhood Development and the Footscray Institute of Technology. Informants have listed their repertoire of folklore in current use, with some instructions, including a more detailed catalogue of the collection.
A collection of beliefs, folk sayings and tales about birth and pregnancy. They are in English, although some cross-cultural items are included. They were collected in the 1970s – 1980s.

Play and Folklore welcomes and publishes contributions from all parts of the world. Two issues, edited by June Factor, Gwenda Davey and Judy McKinty, are published by Museum Victoria every year. These are accessible on the Museum Victoria website at museumvictoria.com.au/playandfolklore
Books, journals, and some audio and videotapes associated with the Collection are housed at the Education Resource Centre, University of Melbourne. Copies of some ACFC audiotapes are held at the National Library in Canberra.

My fellow Fett-Heads,
Since getting my Fett done and approved, I've been going pretty nuts with trying to troop a smuch as possible, so with that and with dealing with my lovely wife's horrible health issues she's been suffering the passed 2 years, I haven't been as active as I wanted to be here. Reading and lurking, but not much time to really sit and post like I used to....but I plan to change that as best I can with as much news and reports of experiences as Fett to my TDH Family.
This is an event that took place Sunday, June 13th, 2010
Yesterday my wife Lisa (working on her Palpatine), our 3 sons and my brother-in-law (working on an RC and TX) Jason and I took part in the Wal*Mart Walk For Miracles at Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
We had raised $300 in donations and pledges under the team name of the 501st Legion and on behalf of the Badlands Garrison membership, because of our previous assistance in helping the local promotion company push the SWIC and them giving my wife and I tickets, we donated 6 Star Wars In Concert tickets to the charity at my wife's brilliant suggestion.
This afternoon, my wife and I received an email from the BC Children's Hospital Foundation in response :
June 14, 2010
Bandlands Garrison
501st Legion: Vaders Fist
Dear Badlands Garrison members:
RE: Donation of Star Wars in Concert Tickets
On behalf of BC Childrens Hospital Foundation and the Walmart Associates of the lower mainland, thank you so much for your generous donation of Star Wars in Concert tickets and your appearance at the 2010 Walmart Walk for Miracles. Your kind gesture will allow us to provide additional recognition to members of the Langley Walmart store, whose associates are very much deserving of such a reward. Indeed, the Langley team has surpassed all other Walmart store teams in Canada for their incredible total fundraising achievement this year. Your donation will allow us to honour these champions for BC kids in such a way that we could not do otherwise.
As you may know, BC Childrens Hospital is the provinces only tertiary care centre for sick and injured children. We see an average of more than 600 patients each day, and 67 per cent of them come from areas outside the city of Vancouver.
By contributing to the success of the Walmart Walk for Miracles through your donation of concert tickets and your time at the event, you are helping to make miracles for the most sick and injured children in our province.
Again, thank you for your contribution to child health. Your generosity is appreciated.
Best regards,
Aaron Sanderson,
Philanthropy Officer
THANK YOU BC FOR RAISING $16,501,473 FOR THE 23rd ANNUAL BC CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MIRACLE WEEKEND!
I hope that you all in the Legion are as proud as we are.
FYI The last picture, the parents actually asked me to aim my blaster at their sleeping child. That was the strangest pose request I have had yet, and there have been some doozies, I tell ya'.

I am a firm believer that if we got closer to full employment wages will rise because employers will have to compete for the labor force.
And Luvin Honey,On the corporate welfare,lets side track a step or two. If someone has a farm have they received government subsidies? Is that not the equivalent of corporate welfare? Not really,farmers have actually been paid not to produce. But since you mentioned the family farm and corporate welfare I figure this is a relevant question.
that is not to say that there should not be some safety net for folks who have bad things happen. it should be limited in amount and time. it should not reward bad behavior. it certainly should not be a career choice or generational life style. as my father said when he kicked my brother out the door "starvation is a great motivator!".
Luvinhoney you have an anticapitalist pro socialist mindset.I have a struggling small, because of the economy, construction business. When I had several employees I paid them pretty good and gave them benefits in the form of health ins. bonuses ect. But i didn't pay them all the same wage because they were not worth the same wage. I had supervisers, equipment operators, truck drivers, labors ect. I try to pay them what they are worth and the fact is some employes are worth more then others. To expect an employer to have to pay everyone the same is not at all fair to the person who tries harder and does a better job then the person working beside him or her. If you paid a minimum wage that was equal to the average family income to a person putting lettuce on hamburgers at Mac Donalds then the price of a hamburger would not be affordable. And that would have the same affect on that persons attitude as The War on Poverty has had on the ones on the receiving end of that Govt. program. Which is. Why should I work any harder or try to learn more when I'm getting the same pay as my boss?
Well luvin honey,if you have children your wanting to leave the farm to ypu'll likely be happy to know your probably rich. And in being rich your children will be able to take a strong swing at the deficit if they inherit the farm. I hope you still feels as good about the wealthy paying their fair share:http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/11/16/ranchers-farmers-brace-for-death-tax-impact/
I am a firm believer that if we got closer to full employment wages will rise because employers will have to compete for the labor force.This is where health care came about as a benefit. But I have also seen people behind the counters at McDonalds and such places that I question if minimum wage may be too much. Most people start at minimum wage and work their way up. The ones that do nothing to advance their position in life are not automatically entitled to the fruits of those who do.But many a libs think the only way you make a good living is stealing away someone elses. I can tell you if I ran a business with employees that worked directly with the public and they came in with a face full of hardware,it would do little to encourage me to hire them. I know it's personal expression and all that,but it would not be the image I would want my business expressing. And many of these kids are the ones getting stuck in low end jobs.
I didn't retire in California Vance and there really isn't much you know about me or my lifestyle. It's people like you and Kathy P that cost you the election with your bitterness and judgement of others. Thanks!
No, it's people like you who spent 24 years on a job and didn't put enough away to care for yourself, so now you want others to use their savings and bail you out. I have never made Tbeek's imaginary 50,000 in one year in my life, and have no retirement income other than SS. I have medical coverage, money in my pocket, food on my table, and a roof over my head. I also have a bit left to leave to my kids. I have no desire to spend that bit on someone who spent all they ever made and have no way to get the things they need now. Nor on those who have never worked and never intend to.PS. I'm also a combat veteran.
I have no problem with bosses earning more than their employees, even far more. But 100s of times more? That's getting downright ridiculous and greedy.
Are you serious? If BB was promised one thing, then had it pulled out and now needs to provide it on his own for his family, you don't think that might affect his ability to save for retirement? Seriously, have you no hearts or compassion at all? If you can say this to BB, it helps me understand the level of bitterness and meanness in this election.
When I pulled $20,000 out of the air, I was basing it on a 2-income family. Many people would be able to live on $40,000/year. Your $50,000 would be much more desirable!

Watknee's Cream Stout Homebrewing Kit from Midwest Supplies
We were recently approached by Midwest Supplies about reviewing one of their many, many brewing kits. While we haven't purchased from this particular homebrewing and winemaking company before, I had heard good things about them, so I figured, sure! Plus it'd been awhile since we brewed, and even longer since using a kit.
Midwest has a very large selection—more than 100!—including kits that are good for beginner, intermediate and advanced homebrewers. I picked the Watknee's Cream Stout kit, a clone of the British Watney's Cream Stout. We've had some tough times with our own stout recipes, so we thought the kit might be good practice, and I've never worked with maltodextrin.
The kit arrived in a perfectly packed box—Midwest doesn't mess around with unnecessary shipping materials! We received the key ingredients of DME, specialty grains, hops, yeast, maltodextrin … and we even got Irish moss, a muslin bag, and priming sugar for when we bottle! The instruction sheet has both a "quick" to-do list (for those of us familiar with brewing) and a longer set of instructions, which are quite thorough.
I'm a sucker for design, but I really like the packaging Midwest uses for their kits. They use almost every available surface to communicate with the homebrewer, providing the kit's info (ingredients, brewing info, etc.), a handy brewing calendar, and at least 4 different ways for customers to get a hold of Midwest if they have any questions.
Since we're pretty busy through November, we're looking to brew this kit in December, bottle before the New Year, and enjoy the stout in January … maybe for my 31st birthday party? So stay tuned!
Disclosure: I received a this homebrewing kit for free from Midwest Supplies. However, my opinions are my own.

Arsène Wenger says it was essential that Jack Wilshere had a rest at the weekend while he continues his recovery from long-term injury.
The England international was left on the bench for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, having started two games in four days against Tottenham and Montpellier.
Wenger is happy with the progress Wilshere is making but believes it is right to exercise caution when it comes to the 20-year-old's workload.
"It's a relief that he's had no setback," the Arsenal manager said.
"He had a little inflammation but I think the rest will help him to get rid of it. Apart from that, he's done very well. He's not played for 17 months, people forget what that means - it's massive. I'm very happy with the way he progresses."
Wilshere's England team-mate, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, started at Villa Park after overcoming a hip injury, and Wenger is confident the 19-year-old will become a top player in years to come.
"He has not played a lot recently," Wenger said. "He lacks a bit of physical fitness, but he tried today. He was dangerous in patches.
"He's learning his job. He's a very talented young boy. I believe he will be a great player. At the moment, he learns his job. He's 19 years old."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
