Home »Yacht Boats »Mainship »37 Motoryacht
Thank you for looking for a used Mainship for sale on Calling All Boats! Let us help you find your favorite used boat. We have a huge database of affordable used power boats and sail boats, such as Mainship and many more. The history of Mainship Corporation dates back to the 1830's and a German immigrant by the name of Henry Luhrs. His entry into the Marine trade began by supplying ships in the harbors of New York City. He eventually came to own his own chandlery and even his own ship, which he named the Sophia R. Luhrs. His grandson, also named Henry, shared the same love of the sea and continued the family heritage by building and repairing boats on the New Jersey coast. About 100 years after his grandfather started his business, the younger Henry opened his; a small yard in Morgan, New Jersey. From these humble beginnings sprang a vibrant and thriving business called the Henry Luhrs Sea Skiff Company. As the business grew, Henry's sons, John and Warren became involved and soon the company was producing over 1200 boats a year. In 1965, Bangor Punta, a huge timber conglomerate made Henry an offer too good to refuse and the company was sold. The brothers, John and Warren, soon struck out on their own and formed Silverton Marine Corporation, the first of the Luhrs Marine Group of companies. Under the guidance of their father, the brothers were very successful. Warren, being an accomplished sailor knew they could adapt their building philosophy to sailboats and Hunter Marine was incorporated in 1973. Hunter is now known as the largest sailboat builder in North America. The international fuel-crisis gave a huge wake-up call to boat builders, and John and Warren saw opportunity in building an economical, single diesel cruising boat that a family could afford. Mainship Corporation was formed in 1977 and soon outgrew the existing facilities. A new plant was built in Marlboro, NJ and was home to Mainship until 1992 when it was moved to St. Augustine, FL. Over 1200 of the traditionally styled cruisers were built before Mainship began building a European inspired line of cruisers in 1988. The new boat line did well for several years, but Mainship's real destiny was to return to the trawlers that made them famous. In 1994, the first new Trawler, a 35 sedan was introduced and the market accepted the new breed with enthusiasm. Today, Mainship Corporation is the leading manufacturer of production trawlers building 6 different models with many more on the drawing boards. Production is split between the St. Augustine facility it shares with the reacquired Luhrs Corporation and a new facility in Salisbury, MD. Today, Mainship, along with its sister companies in the Luhrs Marine Group, is an employee ownership company. This means that all employees want to share in the success of creating value and satisfaction for all the Mainship owners for years to come. If you want to purchase a used boat for sale by owner, you can't find a better place. To search the best used boats for sale, we have a dedicated Personal Agent to track all new used boat listings and keep you informed with detailed information matching your criteria for a used Mainship for sale. We can help you make informed decisions in buying used boats including power boats, sail boats, and personal water craft. Our assistance will help you find the best used Mainship available.

Last week we brought you 10 high-end products from the annual Architectural Digest Home Design Show in New York, and after scouring the show floor for three days we tracked another 16 that you won't want to miss.
Among the nearly 400 premium brands, there were exhibitors showing cutting-edge (and handmade) lighting, appliances, hardware, architectural screens, and many others.
We found a forthcoming French door refrigerator from Sub-Zero (finally!), a fireplace that doesn't need a chimney, and flooring made from 300-year-old pilings from the canals of Venice, Italy.

By Michelle Locke Associated Press
The wine cooler has a bit of an identity problem. Is it a wine spritzer? A wine cocktail? Sangria?
And what about that wild child moment in the '80s when it was the hottest thing on the party scene?
Luckily, this cocktail conundrum is easily solved. As Gertrude Stein might put it, wine cooler is wine spritzer is wine cocktail is sangria.
And the versions being whipped up today have nothing in common with the cheap, mass-produced products of 30 years ago.
Summer is the perfect time for wine coolers. Don't go crazy and uncork an expensive bottle of wine for coolers, but don't use the cheapest stuff, either. For red wines, Spanish wines are, not surprisingly, a good choice since sangria is a Spanish invention. Tempranillo makes a good choice.
Here are a few suggestions to make your wine cooler-spritzer-sangria-cocktail pitcher perfect.
White chiller
4 ounces sauvignon blanc wine
1 ounce silver or blanco tequila
Juice of 1 lime
3 ounces grapefruit soda
Combine all ingredients in a tall, ice-filled glass. Stir gently, then serve immediately. Makes 1 serving.
Watermelon Bellini
3/4 cup watermelon chunks
1/3 cup frozen peach chunks
1/2 ounce lemon juice
6 ounces prosecco sparkling wine
In a blender, combine the watermelon, peaches and lemon juice. Puree until smooth. Using a mesh strainer, strain into 2 sparkling wine flutes, then top with prosecco. Makes 2 servings.
Dark island cooler
1/2 vanilla bean
4 ounces cabernet sauvignon wine
1 ounce spiced rum
2 ounces pineapple juice
Seltzer water
Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a tall glass. Add the wine, rum and pineapple juice, stirring to combine. Add ice and top with seltzer water. Makes 1 serving.
Rose-tinted glasses
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
2 ounces St. Germaine elderflower liqueur
8 ounces rose wine
Seltzer water
2 sprigs fresh mint
In a blender, puree the strawberries until smooth. Using a mesh strainer, strain into a cocktail shaker. Add the elderflower liqueur and rose wine. Add ice, then shake to combine. Strain into 2 tall glasses filled with ice. Top with seltzer water and garnish each with a mint sprig. Makes 2 servings.

Bold top picks. Bold but I would hate it. Do not want Geno, our O will be good this year. Our D on the other hand will be terrible if we cant get some players in this years draft.
First jersey purchased: Jamarcus Russell.
Second jersey purchased: Rolando McClain.
Next purchases: Every Chiefs, Chargers and Broncos player.

Yeah. We don't need a NT at all, but that is a fantastic haul.

I don't like Ansah for the Steelers. Some will though. Good player, not a good fit. I would really like Jones there instead. Reid, Bernard, Hunter, and Okafor are all players I rather have in the second instead of Patton. Especially Hunter if they go with a WR in that round.

Im not a steelers fan but I disagree about him not fitting the steeler 3-4... Ansah came from a 3-4 defense in BYU where he played OLB, DE, and NT
He's versitile and has experience playing standing up. Your definately entitled to your opinion and its ur team so I defer to you
But as a jet fan, id be happy with him at DE/OLB

Nope. Nope. Nope, nope, nope.
NT is not a first round need, especially a guy who will be out of the league in a few years, if he hasn't already died of a heart failure.
This mock is awful. Barkley and Glennon still haven't done enough to show you they are far from top 10 talents? And if you don't mock KC a QB, you need to throw away your mock. Mocking them the second best player at said player's position and an okay prospect first overall, and on the OL no less... They do get Tyler Wilson I the second, but that's absurd. He won't make it there, not even close.

Miles from Ordinary
Reading Level: Grade 6-8
This book is a creepy blend of realistic fiction and horror. Teenager Lacey lives alone with her mentally ill mother. Despite her situation, she struggles to have a normal life, even managing to get a job at the local library. However, the novel's intentional uncertainty creates a foreboding mood. At times the reader even wonders if the voice guiding Lacey's mother really exists or if it is due to her illness. All becomes clear by the novel's end, when Lacey realizes just how alone she really is.

Examine the remaining finish
Check the remaining material to make sure it's clear and particle-free. If the polyurethane has crud in it, try filtering it through cheesecloth. Then try brushing it on scrap wood. If it goes on fine, use it.
If the poly is water-based and too thick, thin it by adding water (no more than 10 percent). You can also thin solvent-based poly by adding up to 10 percent mineral spirits, but only if you live in a state that allows it. Some East Coast states and California prohibit users from adding solvents after the can is opened. In that case, you'll have to recycle the old stuff and buy a fresh can.
Always test thinned polyurethane on scrap wood before applying it to your project. Chances are it will work just fine. But if it doesn't look right, buy fresh material.

Dr. Lawrence Yun, chief economist and vice president of research for the National Association of Realtors, addressed a crowd of approximately 200 people at the Economic Forecast Breakfast held by the Scottsdale Area Association of Realtors.
"We are coming out of it," said Dr. Yun of the current economic condition. "The worst is clearly behind us. The question becomes whether or not it will be a fast, moderate or slow recovery."
During his presentation, he compared real estate trends throughout the country with highlights of the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas. The Phoenix area, he said, has increasingly less foreclosures and a higher volume of home sales. Home sales will continue to increase by 6% over the next couple years due to a projected steady job growth of 4%.
"It is the Best Affordability Condition Index, an index NAR created, which takes into account home value, income and mortgage rates. Right now we are at the greatest high of affordability from at least the past 40 years, since this index was created," said Dr. Yun.
Statistics during the presentation were provided from "Homeownership Matters," the 2012 Public Awareness Campaign for the National Association of Realtors. This campaign states that every home purchased pumps $60,000 into the local economy. For every two homes sold, one job is created and home ownership accounts for over $2 trillion of the U.S. GDP.

INTERVIEW: Bingo Players at Electric Zoo
Listen to Bingo Players on iHeartRadio
Maarten Hoogstraten and Paul Baumer have been rattling the world, as Bingo Players, with their addicting music. Having created some major dance music hits, playing at the biggest festivals across the globe, and running their label Hysteria, Paul and Maarten have proven their drive and passion for what they do.
Recently announced that Paul has been diagnosed with cancer, Maarten has been playing all of their gigs. These guys are amazing, and they never let their fans down, which is why they have such a loyal fanbase behind them 100%.
We got to hang out with Maarten at Electric Zoo in New York City. He talked to us about their single "Buzzcut," the video for the track, revealed a new talent on Hysteria Records, and gave us an update on Paul. Check it out:
Over the summer you put on Bingo Beach at Governor's Island. How was that for you guys, and how do you like playing in New York City?
New York has a special place in my heart. We played Roseland Ballroom before and Governor's Island, our own party. That was, so amazing. Like 3 or 4 thousand people just for me, and the supporting acts, and it was amazing. It was heart-warming to see all the people come out and have a good time. So, it was crazy.
Tell us about "Buzzcut?"
It's hard to tell where it started. We just always start with a melody, and it took off from there. We tweaked it a lot, and it was one of the songs we worked on the most from all the songs we did. It took like four, five weeks even to get to "1, 2, 3 Go!" vocal, it took a week. It sounds stupid but you have to get the right vocal for it, you know? And then [we] released it and it went top 10 on billboards. Really happy with it!
Before you released your official video for it, you had the promo video with Melanie Iglesias!
Yeah, [it was] really cool. To be honest, it was not our idea. Our management came [up] with it, "We have this hot chick who can star in the promo video for, for 'Buzzcut.'" And we were like, sure do it!
The official video that you released recently, is amazing!
We wrote out a contest for people on our Facebook to make a video for "Buzzcut." And, with a prize, of course, money prize. And we saw this one and we thought it was the best one. Although we got like many cool videos. But this one was just the best. And yeah, it was really funny. So, we completely let other people think about the concept for the video. So, that was really cool.
How is Hysteria doing?
Really good. We've been putting more time into the label and it really pays off because all the talent we find right now, we like get like two or three hundred demos a day. We try to pick out the best talent, and we signed a lot of tracks for this year. Some of them already gone in the top 10 of Beatport! And people never heard of the artist. It's one of the things we are really happy about. To give new talent a chance to release their songs, because it's really hard nowadays to get your music out there. We are basically doing the same, what labels did with us five years ago. Had trust in us, trusted our music. We do the same now for other people and it feels really satisfying to do so.
So you're signing a lot of new talent to Hysteria?
Yeah. More and more. Each week we find a new talent. We just signed this 16 year old kid from, I think he's from France. And he's making amazing music and he's only 16.
Well, we are thinking of Paul, and wish him all the best. How is he doing?
He's doing well. He feels good, he's positive. That's one of the most important things you know. He can do some studio work. And he does some office stuff, like doing mails and, is involved with Hysteria Records. But, it's too hard for him to tour right now. So I'm doing all the shows by myself, and hopefully one day he feels good enough to say, "Hey let's go back on the road again." He's still in treatment. But he's looking good.

The Chicago Bears are expected to re-sign free agent quarterback Josh McCown if regular starter Jay Cutler cannot play in Week 11 because of the concussion he suffered on Sunday. The only other QB on the Bears' roster is Jason Campbell and he would be the presumptive starter, with McCown coming in as an emergency reserve. Cutler has not yet been ruled out after missing the second half of Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Houston Texans.
Fantasy Analysis:
McCown was previously with the Bears in 2011 and started two games. McCown bounced around the league during his 10 years. With stints in Carolina, Oakland, Detroit, and Arizona, the ten-year vet hopefully will not need to see the field with Campbell ahead of him on the depth chart. The Bears are 7-2 right now, but Green Bay (6-3) and Minnesota (6-4) are right on their heels. Every win and every loss are critical at this stage of the season so losing Cutler for even just one game can hopefully be avoided. Fantasy owners should avoid Campbell if he is pressed into action.

Eating Disorder Counselor
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
722 Weiland Road, Suite 200, Rochester, New York
Is your relationship with food not what you think it should be? Are you eating too little or too much or do you binge and purging afterward? There are reasons why you do these things and just treating the symptoms is not enough. I provide a safe and supportive place for you to discuss and experience all of your feelings so that you can find the root cause for your behaviors.
Eating Disorder Counselor

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain. Contact email@example.com or 877-606-6161 to learn more about this safe and effective alternative.

You are not alone - most folks have struggled with their weight from time to time throughout their lives. There are many ways that we try to manage the weight, but some are healthier than others. If you are binging/purging, excessively exercising, using laxatives, or restricting your intake of food, I can help. You can't just stop - you have a finite supply of willpower, and it can easily become depleted. Together we will identify dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors, and work to replace them with more productive actions. I will support and guide you along the way in developing a "toolbox" of skills that will reduce your distress and set you on the path to a happier, less stressful life.

Landover, Md. • Robert Griffin III went down, the ball popped out, and the Washington Redskins scored a touchdown.
Look out, New York Giants and the rest of the NFC East. If the rookie quarterback keeps getting those kinds of breaks, it'll be hard to keep him out of the title hunt for years to come.
As it is, RG3 has the Redskins within a game of first place, leading a fourth-quarter rally in a 17-16 Monday night victory over the Giants, giving Washington a three-game winning streak in which it has dispatched division rivals Philadelphia, Dallas and now New York one by one.
"We know that our backs are against the wall," Griffin said. "And even though we won tonight, our backs are still against the wall."
The Redskins (6-6) appeared out of the running at 3-6 a month ago, but Griffin is proving his team can never be counted out when he's on the field.
With the Giants (7-5) losing three of four and the Cowboys (6-6) also at .500, the division is up for grabs.
Griffin did get another of his goals accomplished Monday by assuring Washington will win more games than last season's 5-11 team.
"You can put a check by that one, but there's a lot more goals that this team is stretching for and striving for," Griffin said.
Griffin completed 13 of 21 passes for 163 yards and ran five times for 72 yards, breaking Cam Newton's NFL record for yards rushing by a rookie quarterback.
His top target again was Pierre Garcon, who had eight receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown, showing no signs of the painful toe injury that forced him to miss six of the season's first nine games.
The game's final score was Griffin's 8-yard pass to Garcon early in the fourth quarter, but the Redskins' first touchdown was one of the evening's crazy moments.
On second-and-2 from the New York 28, Griffin ran to his left and was being tackled by Stevie Brown after what would have been a 12-yard gain.
But as Griffin fell with his back to the ground, the ball popped out and went right on the fly to Washington receiver Joshua Morgan 3 yards farther upfield. Morgan then ran 13 yards for the score.
"We didn't run [that play] in practice because we wanted to save it for the game," Griffin said with a grin. "I knew he was going to be there for it."

In the year 2025, a rogue state--long suspected of developing biological weapons--now seems intent on using them against U.S. allies and interests. Anticipating such an event, we have developed a secret "counter-virus" that could infect and destroy their stockpile of bioweapons. Should we use it?

With very rare exceptions, automakers are famously coy about crash dilemmas. They don't want to answer questions about how their self-driving cars would respond to weird, no-win emergencies. This is understandable, since any answer can be criticized—there's no obvious solution to a true dilemma, so why play that losing game?
This Article focuses on one cyberphysical domain — automated driving — to methodically analyze the so-called liability problem. It considers how automated driving could affect product liability, how product liability could affect automated driving, and how each could advance or impede the prevention of injury and the compensation of victims.

"Despite Tesla's claim of a self-driving car out this year, several companies are aiming for 2020 and beyond for a production model. University of South Carolina Assistant Professor of Law Bryant Walker Smith says there are a lot of miles before companies can claim their automated cars are as safe as conventional ones.
""Partnerships will be the key to successfully competing on automated driving – and different companies, from automakers to suppliers to data providers to fleet managers to platform developers, can be valuable partners," Bryant Walker Smith, a law professor at the University of South Carolina and research scholar at Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society, told Forbes."
In 2013, Elon Musk proposed an "open source transportation concept" of levitating vehicles zooming passengers through vacuum tubes at 760 miles an hour. It would be weatherproof, energy-efficient, relatively inexpensive, have autonomous controls. Its impact on urban and inter-city transport could reshape economies and families.
U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, will convene a hearing on Wednesday, November 16, 2016, at 3:00 p.m. entitled "Exploring Augmented Reality." The hearing will examine the emergence, benefits, and implications of augmented reality technologies. Unlike virtual reality that creates a wholly simulated reality, augmented reality attempts to superimpose images and visual data on the physical world in an intuitive way.

The ABA Annual Conference may not have been a lot of fun for, say, an institution on the cusp of a DOE smackdown, but as a member of the press — marked with a bright yellow badge in case (and the "yellow journalism" epithet did not go unnoticed) — it's a pretty good time. With my friends from the LegalTalk Network, producers of Thinking Like A Lawyer, I had the opportunity to chat with experts as they finished their panel discussions.

This week, General Motors announced that it would pour $500 million into the ride-sharing service Lyft, with an aim of eventually producing a fleet of self-driving cars. And the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas was filled with autonomous vehicle tech tidbits from companies such as Toyota and Nvidia. But what might a future in which all cars can drive themselves do to our cities, towns, and society? Industry observers say that while it's clear that there will be robotic cars, it's much less clear how people will choose to use them.

Going back to school would also be fun. There's definitely positives to both sides. I just have to get ready to make a good decision here. I'm pretty open. I like to hear both sides. I'll probably go back to school and have a sit down with our coaching staff. I haven't been able to do that yet. I think it would be good to hear what they have to say."'

It's very easy! Simply add icing color to the batter after it's made and before you put it into your baking pan. We prefer to use white cake mix when we color cake batter because it provides a crisp, true color – yellow cake batter will add a slight yellow cast to the color you are trying to achieve. For examples of cakes we've made with colored batter, check out our Pastel Checkerboard Cake.

These were the things worthy of commemoration in the consulship of Crassus.
Crassus, upon the expiration of his consulship, repaired to his province.
The year of the expedition is known by the consulate of Pompey and Crassus—it was the year 699.
Cicero, Pompey and Crassus all spoke on his behalf, and he was acquitted.
This tribe refused to give hostages, and, inducing others to join them, seized some Roman officers sent among them by Crassus.
His surname is getting as much out of fashion as the "Dives" of Crassus.
To Caesar, therefore, Crassus was invaluable: a firm bond was sealed between them.
Crassus's freedman, I think, spoke without any real sincerity.
Why did those feathers lie like lead and await the arrival of Crassus for so long?
Crassus and Antony carry it on in chief, but Crassus has the leading voice.

How to Get Lucky in 2013
Don't just wait for good luck to come to you; take charge and make it happen yourself. Here's to making 2013 the luckiest year ever!
-Courtney Cachet
If I had a dollar for every time someone told me I was lucky…
Oh, brother… here she goes with her chirpy positivity and "you can do it" attitude straight off of a cheap framed print. I can't stand people like her, all cutesy smiles and energy. Why is she so freaking hyper all the time? She doesn't know anything. Who the heck is she, Oprah?
Luck is a funny thing. Those who have the good kind believe they are lucky. Those who have "bad luck" think of themselves as unlucky. I believe I have extraordinary luck. I am reminded of this every day. I'm not a self-help guru or some Oprah-like person that has The Secret to All Good Things. I have experienced heartbreak, loss, overwhelming sadness and life-threatening illnesses that I pray you never have to go through. And still, I look at my life as one overflowing with good luck. We all have the same story; it's just how you choose to tell it. Tell it to yourself every day—live it, feel it, and breathe it. It is only when you change the way you view your own story that you can change the direction of your life. Seems pretty easy, right? It is—you just need to practice. So how do you do it? I may not know the exact answer, but I do know how I do it.
Always be ready.
There are opportunities waiting around every corner, but you have to be ready to grasp them. The same opportunities are available for all of us, but the lucky ones see them and pursue them. Be open to meeting new people and taking chances. This is key. People always say, "You were in the right place at the right time." That's not true. It's all about being in the right state of mind.
Live an active life.
You will not get lucky sitting home watching TV or always running on a treadmill with headphones on. You have to get out there, go to events, parties, and social gatherings, and talk to people. Be friendly, warm, and genuine. Try different things—don't fall into the habit of always doing the same thing.
Read Why We Need To Bring Back Wrapped Gift — And Lose the Gift Bag!
Build a lucky network.
Stay in contact with positive people and those you admire. Be a good friend, but also be open to meeting new people. The word "networking" has a slightly negative tone to it, like you're always seeking out connections. Think of it more as expanding your life. Lose the negative people in your life quickly—never pay any attention to them. It's a waste of time and only brings you down. They're already there—leave them there and wish them the best.
Do good things.
If you don't believe in karma, then you most certainly don't believe in luck because they go hand in hand. You have to do good things for other people in order for good to come to you. You have to donate your money, your time, and your spirit. You have to give when there is little public glory in doing so. You have to be nice, grateful, and humble. It sounds so sappy, but it is so true: The more you give, the more life will reward you. You have to want good things for others. Don't worry; there'ss enough room for everyone!
Don't listen to the noise.
The luckier you are, the better your life will be. The better your life gets, the more haters will rise to the surface. They get so focused on "How'd they do that?" and clouded in jealousy that they never allow the good luck to come to them. You can't let this bother you. You have to shrug it off and pay no attention to it. There will always be naysayers, and there will always be those who try and bring you down. Don't go for the bait and just keep doing your thing. Try not to be nervous.
I hope 2013 is your luckiest year ever. Happy New Year!
Now go kick some ass.

UK comedian, musician and birdwatcher Bill Bailey is in Melbourne this week as part of his Qualmpeddler tour of Australia and New Zealand. Yesterday he, and fellow comedian and ornithology buff Jeff Green, visited collection stores and exhibitions at Melbourne Museum.

It's all thanks to a timely radio broadcast: PhD student Darren Hastie heard an interview in which Bill talked about being a fan of Alfred Russel Wallace, co-originator (with Charles Darwin) of the theory of evolution by natural selection. Learning this, collection manager Rolf Schmidt sent a message to Bill via his website to tell him that Museum Victoria holds a number of specimens collected by AR Wallace, and to invite him to come and see them.
Bill is not just a fan of Wallace; he is the patron of the Wallace Fund which works to give the great naturalist due credit for his contributions to our understanding of evolution. Bill has spent five years researching Wallace's life and work, which will culminate in a BBC documentary in 2013. Next year marks a century since Wallace's death and, if all goes to plan, will also see a portrait and statue of Wallace erected in the Natural History Museum in London to equal its famous marble statue of Darwin.

Having recently returned from filming the Wallace documentary in Indonesia, Bill swapped tales with ornithologist and collection manager Wayne Longmore about the bizarre fauna found in Sulawesi, Indonesia, due to what is now called the Wallace Line. To the west of the line, Asiatic species predominate, while to the east, Australian lineages appear. Sulawesi is right in the thick of it and its animals are an amazing assortment of both origins. For eight years, Wallace travelled through Malaysia and Indonesia collecting birds, insects and more, and it was his astute observations of the patterns of species distribution that spawned the science of biogeography, and helped him develop his theory of evolution.
Poor Wallace, however, has been obscured by time and the greater profile of Darwin. Said Bill, "Wallace was an extraordinary field naturalist, probably one of the greatest. And he hasn't got the recognition he deserves. He needs to be mentioned in the same breath as Darwin, or at very least get equal billing." Darwin had been working on his theory of natural selection for many years but it wasn't until 1858, when Wallace sent him his own fully-articulated theory, that Darwin was prompted to stop thinking and get down to the business of publishing. The two presented their theory together at a meeting of the Linnaean Society. As Bill said, "at the time it known as the Darwin-Wallace theory, but when it was revived in the 30s, Wallace's name was gone." Jeff in turn suggested that the Australian city of Darwin switch its name to Darwin-Wallace for 2013 for the centenary.
After viewing the Wallace specimens in the ornithology store, Bill and Jeff visited the Science and Life Gallery where the Darwin to DNA exhibition has Wallace-collected skins and mounts on display, complete with his original hand-written tags. Next Rolf took them to down to the palaeontology collections and labs. Rolf reports, "Bill was quite interested in the size and scope of our collection, as well as the stories around the objects (like the Janjucetus skull). He was also rather excited when I let him have a hold of our Darwin barnacle holotype."

Bill's fascination with Wallace is infectious - and he certainly loves museums. He says he always tries to visit the natural history museums of the cities where he performs. We're very glad he dropped in to visit us, and will watch with interest as the Wallace100 plans unfold.

December 2012
Dec. 16, 2012 -- Health insurance options
Since the number of participants seems to be a major factor in health care costs has the university considered partnering with the State of Alaska or perhaps other universities in the Pacific Northwest? It would seem that a partnership would benefit all parties through increased membership.
From Erika Van Flein, Director of Benefits
Self-insurance is usually the best option for a group our size. We pay for our claims and administration of the plans, and maintain control of our plan design. The Joint Health Care Committee had a subcommittee to look into expanding the pool by joining with other groups. The university has also looked into this in the past and has concluded that it would not be beneficial to do so. Complications with funding arrangements, staff benefit rates and contracts with grant-funding agencies all play a part in making this unacceptable.In addition, the other group would have to agree to having UA join them, and so far the State of Alaska has not been open to this idea.
Dec. 16, 2012 -- Popcorn Fridays
Why doesn't the Polar Express office make popcorn on Fridays anymore?
Staff are not available to make popcorn due to a couple of open positions, however any university department or student club can check out the popcorn machine and supplies to make popcorn for staff and students. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 474-7657 to reserve the machine.
Dec. 7, 2012 -- Health care options
Is it true that if the High Deductible Health becomes a Health Savings Account plan that those that do have other coverage (i.e., previously opted out) will not be able to choose this option?Ā Can employees participate in a HSA if they are also covered under a spouses Flexible Speinding Account? Will this option force all those opt outs to have to choose the higher cost 750 plan?
Response from Erika Van Flein, UA Human Resources
We won't be changing the current High Deductible Health Plan. We are working to add an additional plan that will qualify for a Health Savings Account because the current plan's design doesn't qualify.
To contribute to an HSA, you must have a qualifying HDHP. This means the pharmacy benefit must be the same as the medical benefit, meaning subject to the medical deductible and coinsurance provisions. Other restrictions on this arrangement are that you cannot be covered by any other insurance plan, including a spouse's plan, TriCare, Medicare, Medicaid, retiree health insurance, etc. You cannot have anything that could provide "first dollar coverage," and that includes a Flexible Spending Account of a spouse.
The Statewide Voice recently published an article of the proposed changes with a focus on Health Savings Accounts. There are several articles in a series there and more information to come.
Dec. 7, 2012 -- Naturally Inspiring campaign
What assessment is going to be done on the new marketing plan to see if it is working with recruitment? Will it ask if the motto "naturally inspiring" actually inspired them to attend our campus?
From Michelle Renfrew, director Marketing and Communications
The naturally inspiring tagline sets the tone for the current campaign which aims to strengthen UAF's reputation with prospective and current students, alumni, donors, research supporters and other advocacy groups.
What it's designed to do is to differentiate UAF from it's competition and inspire prospective students to take notice of the opportunities that are unique to UAF. The commercial concepts, targeted to reach 18-24 year olds, are designed to support our brand promise and encourage students to find out more.
We will be working with Admissions to see if the naturally inspiring tagline and new view book depicting our brand motivates students to apply to UAF.Ā
Dec. 5, 2012 -- Staff and faculty discount at the UAF Bookstore
Is it true that staff and faculty are supposed to receive at 10% discount on all purchases at the UAF Bookstore? My husband is also a staff member and was told by a Bookstore employee that this has been the policy for some time but that it's not widely advertised or applied. If it's true, we should know about it. Thanks!
Yes, it's true. Faculty and staff do receive a 10 percent discount on all purchases at the UAF Bookstore. However, during the annual customer appreciation sale, Friday, Dec. 7, all customers will receive a 20 percent discount on in-store items. Additionally, if you make a purchase between now and Jan. 2, your receipt will serve as a coupon for a 20 discount on apparel.

Former N.Y. Gov. George Pataki to address USC graduates
Former New York Gov. George Pataki will speak at the University of South Carolina summer commencement exercises for baccalaureate, master's and professional-degree recipients from all eight campuses at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug.6, in the Colonial Life Arena.
Commencement exercises for doctoral candidates will be at 8:30 a.m. at the Koger Center for the Arts.
Pataki was New York's governor during the Sept. 11 attacks. As governor and since leaving office, he has championed policies in renewable energy and environmental fields. He will receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Northwestern University chemist and materials scientist Tobin J. Marks will receive an honorary degree of Doctor of Science degree.
The university expects to award 1,110 degrees from the Columbia campus, including four associate's degree, 536 baccalaureate degrees, one pharmacy degree, one medicine degree, 10 graduate certificates, 425 master's degrees, 28 specialist's degrees and 105 doctoral degrees.
Also receiving degrees will be the graduates of the university's regional and four-year campuses: Aiken, 73 baccalaureate and seven master's degrees; Beaufort, one associate's degree and 54 baccalaureate degrees; Lancaster, 23 associate's degrees; Salkehatchie,17 associate's degrees; Sumter, 14 associate's degrees; Union, eight associate's degrees; and Upstate, 173 baccalaureate degree and four master's degrees.
Pataki was governor of New York from 1995 through 2006, serving during the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York City. Now working as an attorney with the New York law firm of Chadbourne and Parke, he specializes in environmental, corporate and climate change law.
During his tenure as New York's governor, Pataki's initiatives included the protection of more than 1 million acres of open space, the adoption of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, the implementation of the nation's first green building tax credit, and programs to enhance the production and use of alternative energy including biodiesel, ethanol, fuel cells and clean coal.
In 2005, Business Week named Pataki one of the world's top 20 "individuals who stand out for their efforts to cut gases that cause global warming."
He was elected mayor of Peekskill, N.Y., in 1981, and served as an assemblyman and a senator in the New York State Legislature from 1985 to 1994. Pataki earned his bachelor's degree from Yale University and his law degree from Columbia Law School.

(Nov. 16, 2011) On October 12, 2011, the European Commission published its annual overview of the enlargement policy and the progress made by candidate countries in their efforts to join the European Union. The Report on Turkey is composed of 115 pages and covers the period 2010-2011 (hereinafter the Report). (Turkey 2011 Progress Report, Accompanying the Document Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council, Enlargement Strategy and Main Challenges 2011-2012 (Commission Staff Working Paper, No. SEC (2011) 1201 final) (Oct. 12, 2011), EUROPA.)
Progress by candidate countries is assessed based on how they meet the Copenhagen political and economic criteria, which were established by the European Council meeting in Copenhagen in 1993, and the respect shown to minorities within their jurisdictions. Furthermore, in examining the progress made on the issue of transposition of EU legislation by Turkey within its legal system, the Report notes that Turkey has opened negotiations on thirteen out of the thritythree required negotiation chapters. Only one chapter has been provisionally closed. Screening reports on nine chapters are currently discussed at the Council of the EU.
Political Criteria
The political criteria encompass respect for democracy, the rule of law, human rights, and protection of minorities. The Report states that since the Turkish constitutional referendum in 2010 and the elections of 2011, which were conducted fairly and freely, the need emerged to adopt a new Constitution to replace the 1982 Constitution enacted after military rule was imposed. The Report noted that no progress was made on harmonizing Turkey's standards with the EU in regard to requirements on political parties. In 2003, Turkey banned the People's Democratic Party; the country was found guilty by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) of violating the right of freedom of assembly and association. (Id.)
Concerning the new government that took over in June 2011, the Report noted that the government reaffirmed its support of the accession process. A new Ministry on EU Affairs created to deal with accession issues, was established. The Report also noted the developments in legislative reform in the field of public administration and civil service. The Report, however, draws attention to Turkey's failure to amend the Internal Service Law of the Turkish Armed Forces, which deals with the duties of the military and allows the military a wide scope of discretion to intervene in politics. (Id.)
In the field of human rights and protection of minorities, the Report cites Turkey's ratification in November 2010 of the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children Against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse. As noted in the Report, Turkey also ratified the Optional Protocol to the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and three additional Protocols to the European Convention on Human Rights. The ECHR rendered 418 judgments pertaining to Turkey during the reporting period (2010-2011) and found Turkey in violation of numerous rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights. Since October 2010, the ECHR received 7,764 new applications against Turkey, related to the right to a fair trial and protection of property rights. In September 2011, 18,432 applications were pending against Turkey at the ECHR. The Report also notes that Turkey has complied with the majority of the ECHR judgments, but there are still a considerable number of cases on which Turkey has failed to act. The Report mentioned in particular the case of Cyprus v. Turkey, which deals with the issue of missing persons in Cyprus and the property rights of those who were displaced following the events of 1974. (Id.)
On the issue of freedom of expression, the Report states that freedom of the media continues to be an issue in Turkey. A number of journalists are in detention, and those journalists and writers who follow the Kurdish issue are subject to persecution. Turkey's criminal laws on the press remain problematic, the Report indicates, because they limit greatly the freedom of expression. On freedom of assembly, the Report cites some progress as having been made, even though demonstrations are usually met with disproportionate use of force by the police. There are restrictions on the opening of branches of foreign associations; the Minister of the Interior must consult with the Minister of Foreign Affairs to allow the opening of such associations. (Id.)
Concerning religious minorities, the Report states that non-Moslem minorities continue to encounter discrimination and administrative hurdles in the opening and operation of places of worship. Identity cards still state the religious affiliations of individuals. Part of the problem, according to the Report, lies in the denial of permission by Turkish authorities for non-Moslem minorities to operate as legal persons. In addition, the report points out that the Ecumenical Patriarchate is still not allowed to use the word "ecumenical" as part of his title on all occasions, despite the Venice Commission's 2010 conclusion that such a refusal violates the autonomy of the Orthodox Church. (Id.) The Venice Commission, also known as the European Commission for Democracy through Law, is the Council of Europe's advisory body on constitutional issues and was founded in 1990.
Economic Criteria
The economic criteria that candidate countries have to meet in order to join the EU include the existence of a functioning market economy and the ability to deal with divergent, competitive, economic markets within the Union. The Report states that Turkey is to a large extent a market-driven economy "with relatively prudent public finance policy." (Id.) The Report recommends that structural reforms are still needed, however, in the areas of taxation and employment. It also noted that in spite of a worldwide economic downturn, Turkey's economy had grown in 2010 and during the first six months of 2011, because of strong domestic demand. In 2010, the unemployment rate was close to 1.9%, down significantly from 14% in 2009. (Id.)

In today's world, and especially with our professions as Sitepointers, we're surrounded all the time by fancy gadgets and techy toys. Every now and again though, accidents happen, things fall, suddenly stop working, screens crack and other misery that causes bad days and missed deadlines.
This month's challenge, "Electronic Junk". Photograph electronics gone awry!
Post in this thread and we'll have a poll at the end of the month to choose a winner!
Our winner has a choice of any of the prizes below. Runner up receives their choice of our selection of ebooks.
The Rules:ALL WORK MUST BE YOUR OWN.
No goofy Photoshop effects or overdone photo-manipulation. Entrants are allowed to correct colour, contrast, and make minor tweaks such as removing litter or distracting objects from a photo, but no surreal colours or crazy filters.
Help with Uploading:How to upload images and other resources with your post by ralph.m .
So. Get out there. And get cracking!
Hey guys, Have there been no submissions this month? I have a set of a 15 views of 5 macro shots of a partially bad ips pixel arranged in a 3x5 collage that might be interesting to someone who has never seen one. It's not creative, just interesting. The .jpg is 864K, the size is 1110 x 1530. Interested?
OK, I'll post it anyway and you guys can have at it
My IPS monitor has a weak pixel. One day I aimed a macro lens at it and took a few shots. This image shows 3 magnifications of 5 shots. The only difference between the 5 shots is the color of the screen; therefore, they reveal how the 3 segments of a pixel behave. The left images are 1 to 1, the right column is a 100% crop, and the middle column is somewhere in between.... progressive magnifications, if you will. The exposure was determined by the camera. The images are arranged so the pixel elements are vertically aligned. Took a while and a bunch of tries, but it was fun. As you can tell from the left images, the weak pixel is easily overlooked most of the time.
Nice Actually, in the left image I can't see it at all (I thought I did in the top one, but it was just a bit of dust on my screen )
Hmmm. I just opened the original in Windows Viewer and compared it to the size of the posted image. It appears that the upload was scaled down a bit. Original file size is 864KB, the upload is 217KB. I though perhaps the quality had been reduced. Didn't realize the size had been reduced, too. Guess I can zip it and upload the zip if that would be useful/interesting to anyone. Like I said, it's not a work of art, just something interesting. Wonder if the forum will let me upload an ~864K zip.
It appears to have accepted it.
One of the problems I have had this month. The ATI card overheats and keeps restarting the PC; if I am doing any heavy graphics work I have a 10" fan blowing on it which is annoying. I found the Gigabyte card at work and thought that will do until I decide what to do about a new graphics card but that will not run Photoshop which is currently the only image editing program I gave on my PC.
i WANNA SEE DAFT PUNK HELMETS COME ON PPL
Haha! That will be cool! I will be glad too if someone posted at least one here

Julian Ruiz is an English speaker who doesn't know a word of Spanish or any other foreign language.
Yet when the 7-year-old entered kindergarten in Torrance three years ago, he was classified as an English learner - a student not fluent in English.
This shunted him into a category that his mother, Millie Ruiz, says he shouldn't be in, and triggered a dispute with the school's administration.
Ruiz says her son is trapped in the school district's English Language Development program, giving him a label he doesn't deserve.
"There comes a point where we need to introduce some common sense into the whole scheme of things," Ruiz said.
In California, about 23 percent of K-12 students are English learners. Some believe the number is too high.
A 2011 UC Berkeley study concluded that California districts are misidentifying large numbers of kindergarten students as English learners, in part because the test that determines whether they deserve the label is too difficult.
The result: Scarce resources earmarked for the purpose of helping nonfluent students are being spent inefficiently.
"There is that unfortunate opportunity for these kids to be identified as English-language learners and be locked into a program that's not appropriate for them. I guess the criteria needs to be changed," said Gil Navarro, a member of the San Bernardino County school board.
Some English-learner advocates see it differently.
Dan Fichtner, president of a nonprofit support group for teachers of English learners, said it's better to be safe than sorry.
"We believe that it is better to err on the side of being conservative than to make a mistake and lose those first formative years," Fichtner said.
As for Julian - a second-grader because he was held back in kindergarten - he must keep the designation until at least third grade, like all students in the program.
In California, it all begins with a language survey, filled out by every parent sending a child to kindergarten at a public school. It includes four questions:
Ruiz answered the first three questions with "English." But her fourth answer - "English/Spanish" - triggered the language test requirement.
Like about 90 percent of state kindergartners who take the test, Julian failed to score high enough to avoid the English learner label.
Jose Collazo, 22, of Pomona came to the United States with his family when he was little more than a year old. He remained in ESL classes throughout elementary and high school in Pomona Unified.
Collazo took the English-fluency exam four times, and although he was under the impression he had passed, he was never taken out of the ESL program.
That became a problem in high school, he said.
"I didn't understand why my other friends were taking college prep and I didn't," Collazo said.
After speaking to a guidance counselor, he was able to take college preparation classes, but was still required to take ESL courses.As a result, Collazo said, he was unable to take some of the college preparation classes he needed.
In the summer of 2011, Ruiz decided - after two years in the program - she didn't want to participate any longer. She refused to take time off work to bring her son to the district office to take his mandatory annual California English Language Development Test.
The school sent her a letter that Ruiz took as a threat. It said, in all caps: "Please note that your child will not be put on a class list in September if he/she does not complete this testing process prior to school starting in the fall."
Ruiz did not have him tested that summer. That fall, the school pulled Julian out of class to take the assessment.
The results came back a few months later: "No change for this school year."
Staff writers Rebecca Kimitch and Beau Yarbrough contributed to this report.
