Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
I often read about preparations for hurricanes, avoidance, etc... One thing that is always mentioned is to choose a "Good Hurricane Hole". Besides past history reports by sailors of success in specific locations, how do you determine what a "Good Hurricane Hole" is, exactly.
Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
You have to listen carefully for the whispers. Most boaters who find a good spot don't want to divulge it lest too many boats show up.
My insurance company prefers that, in my area, the boat get hauled so that's what we do. I Googled and found lots of information on choosing hurricane holes. |
Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
Yes I understand the reasons why but the heart of my question is what specifically do you look for, what are the key elements to choose to determine a "Good Hurricane Hole" besides the history of success or failure of a specific location. Define the characteristics of a "Good Hurricane Hole". :)
Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
What separates a good spot from bad depends on the nature of the storms and geography of your area as well as the needs of your boat.
Here (Nova Scotia) - hurricanes and tropical storms pack their biggest punch blowing from the East / South East. With that in mind it narrows down the choices. Next thing to consider is the storm surge. That little spit of land can become a frothing reef when there is 6 feet more water than usual. Ideally - I agree with DRferron - and haul out if you can.

Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
There is NO perfect location that provides complete protection from a major hurricane. Even when the boat is stored on the hard, rising flood-waters often inundate storage areas, and in some instances the boats float off the stands. I saw that happen once in a hurricane hole in southeast Florida.
Last year, when a hurricane hit the area I decided to double up the lines, lengthen them so the boat would be able to rise with flood-waters to 10 feet, and hope for the best. The adjacent condos protected the boat from the 85 MPH winds, but when the wind shifted to the opposite direction the lanyard holding my wind-generator blades in place sheared. The wind generator sounded like a jet engine, then one of the blades shattered, throwing the whole thing off balance, vibrating so hard the prop hub shattered like glass, then it just locked up. Repair costs were ridiculous and I gave it away. Flood waters arrived two days later, the result of heavy rains in upstate Pennsylvania and New York. The river quickly rose about 8 feet, parts of houses and massive trees floated downriver in the sea of raging mud. When the water receded, there was 10-inches of mud covering the piers and sidewalks, the marina swimming pool and adjacent pool house were nearly destroyed and most of the slips are now about a foot or two shallower than they were prior to the storm. http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/DSC_0975.jpg This photo was shot as the water was rising. The electric box next to my boat was underwater three house after the photo was taken. Somewhere to the left, there is a swimming pool beneath the muddy water. Several years ago, most of the boats were pulled to avoid hurricane Camile. The water rose to the point where the parking lot for the boats was under 4-feet of water. Fortunately, none floated from their jack stands, but some came close to lifting off and floating away. Good Luck, Gary :cool: |
Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
Hurricane Hole = protection from wind, waves, and storm surge combined with good opportunities for securing the boat (e.g. excellent holding ground if anchoring). So you want to minimize fetch from as many directions as possible or at least certainly from the directions from which you expect the wind to be strongest. The other issue to contend with are the other boats -- you may have a very secure mooring, but if there are other less-well secured boats around you that could break free in the storm, they could total your boat on their way to the rocks.
Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
My boat is moored at the top of Buzzards Bay. One of the worst places in a real hurricane because of the funnel like affect of the bay. I agree with the good advise given above by Catamount.
Too many times I've seen boats that were hauled get more damage than those left in the water. There is no real safe place here in the bay. My hurricane plan these days is to head for Maine. I know a good hole that's much better than anything here in Massachusetts. Why do I know it's good? Because of all the lobster boats that come in and dry out in the weeds. ;) Those guys know what's good! |
Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
One of the things a guy in my marina learned the hard way was to position his boat in such a manner that his mast and his neighbor's mast cannot make contact. During the height of the storm last fall both boats masts slammed together, resulting in serious damage to both masts and their associated rigging.
Gary :cool: |
Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
I'll start by agreeing with Catamount -- minimize fetch from ALL directions. If you get a direct hit (we did) the wind will do a 180 switch as the eye passes, and waves will come from pretty much all directions as it switches.
But as important as that is, remember that it takes everyone in the anchorage to survive a hurricane. By that, again agreeing with Catamount, it doesn't matter how perfectly your boat is prepared if your neighbor's boat isn't . . . and a boat even a mile away can present a hazard if it breaks loose and has a jib come unfurled. Two points from this: you want a location where other owners properly prepare their boats, and offer help if you see someone else needs a hand with getting sails down below, checking a mooring or whatever -- you're not just helping to save their boat, but maybe yours as well! |
Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
Let's me say what I have seen. Many boats will sink an most will drag. How do you avoid a getting caught up by someone elses boat? ancohring away from everyone else and a lot of luck. I think finding a hole or a river is the best if you can especially get deep in the mangroves. This rules out many boats becuse of their draft. Protection from wind on all sides is great, but it is probably the Storm Surge that will get you. Account for that when considering scope. WHen we rode out Gabrielle on the boat, I saw every bit of 4-6'... and that is nothing. But the waves from the gulf side and wind makes that much more treacherous. It was mentioned to haul if you can. Boat US pays for half of this and will even help pay for a Captain to move your boat to get her hauled as I recall. Also, leave the boat. It is said there is nothing you can do in a hurricane if you ride it out on board. I dissagree. You can watch for chaffing and raisinglines. But there will quickly come a point when you cannot get off and you are stuck there and on your own. Most anyone that has ever done it swears they would never do it again. That includes me. Another comment above is making sure you have ownership papers and ID. That is critical. After the storm goes through, assuming you evac'd, they locals law enforcement/Natl Guard will be checking to make sure you are a local or they will not let you back. Ii wrote a long thread about Hurricane Preparation. Guess its getting close to that time of year again. And for all the hype, the real odds of getting hit head on by a major hurricane (or really one at all) is quite small. Hope that helps. Brian |

Mult problems with this type of system First off and auto security system will have to have a bypass or reprogramming mode for service or if you loose the key you have to throw away the car, if there is a reprogram or bypass mode that more than 1 person knows about it'll be on the internet in short order like the software key code crackers. Walmart is pushing the development of RFID for it's stores so that a customer basket can be scanned in mass rather than one item at a time. They were lucky enough to find out that their development was looking at a problem. There is already a scan and reprogram device (about the size of a small calculator) that can change a $37 ham to a $.98 curtain hook. Imagine the havoc that a person with a grudge against Wally world could inflict by randomly reprogramming the tags in a store they would not even have to buy the item just wait for a completely innocent person to put it in their cart. Good thing everyone loves Wally World. A now defunked Chevy dealer in Memphis had a inside man copy the keys for cars in for service and giving them to his buds with the address so the cars could be easily picked up later. The insurance companies know these devices exist but jerk you around on the claims to try to reduce the payout and then wonder why a jury will award huge damages against them, try to find 12 people that don't think they have been screwed by and insurance company over something. Good Luck! BarryH -v mode again |

"Pinch My Ride": modern automotive RFID-security fallacies Wired just ran a good article on RFID keys for cars. While RFID-keyed cars were initially touted as "unstealable", it turns out there are plenty of ways for thieves to steal them, including, in some cases, a secret series of pushes and pulls on the emergency brake that reset the RFID authentication system. Regardless, insurance companies are frequently denying claims.

Frasassi Caves
While most visitors check out the Coliseum in Rome or observe high fashion in Milan, the Frasassi Caves of Italy's northern Marche region remain comparatively empty. "The Marche is one of the least touristed regions of Italy," says Finkelstein. "But one of the most rewarding." Only discovered in the 1970s, the caves are nearly new–at least as far as geological attractions go.

Steamboat Springs Class sizes at Steamboat Springs' two elementary schools could decrease in the 2003-04 school year.
Class sizes may depend on whether the Educational Excellence Commission and its parent group, the Education Fund Board, grant funding for a proposal, authored by the school district's administration team.
The administration team's proposal seeks to adjust the class size formula for elementary schools, but it will not change the formula for middle school or high school classes.
The current formula mandates an average student-to-teacher ratio of 19-to-1 from kindergarten through fourth grade.
Because the formula is an average, some elementary classes can -- and have -- had far more than 19 students.
Such was the case earlier this year when a group of Strawberry Park Elementary School parents complained to the school district about fourth-grade class sizes at the school.
In responses to the complaints, an additional teacher was provided for both Strawberry Park and Soda Creek Elementary Schools through the Educational Excellence Commission's two-teacher reserve fund.
The new formula agreed to by the administrative team would establish a maximum of 17 students-per-class for kindergarten and 20 students-per-class for grades one through five.
The new policy, if funded, comes with a price tag.
The administration team estimates two more elementary school teachers will be needed to meet these maximum class size recommendations, in addition to retaining the two teachers hired earlier this year for Strawberry Park and Soda Creek.
The four teachers will cost the district $196,000.
Mike Loomis, the parent of two Strawberry Park students and a member of the Educational Excellence Commission, said such a proposal would be an improvement from the existing class size formula.
"To me, 20-to-1 is pretty acceptable for some of those grades," Loomis said. "If they're looking at having a maximum of 20 in each grade, that's a lot better than an average."
Superintendent Cyndy Simms, a member of the administration team, warned a long road to funding the policy still lies ahead.
"We are hopeful, but we don't know," Simms said. "It's just the very beginning of the process."
Simms said the school district couldn't afford to fund the proposed policy. Without funding from the Education Fund Board, the policy won't be implemented, Simms said.
The EFB, which handles and allocates revenue collected from the city's half-cent sales tax, must decide how to allocate its funds by March 26. The Educational Excellence Commission is a nine-member committee established by the EFB to recommend funding for class size, pay-for-performance and content standards, among others.
If the EEC decides to fund the administration team's new proposal, the EFB then has the authority to concur with the EEC's decision or cut the funding needed to adopt the new class size formula.
Still up for debate is the ambiguous question of how small is small enough when it comes to class size and whether there are better ways to spend school money to improve education.
School board president Paul Fisher said research shows class size has a profound impact in lower grades but less of an impact in middle school and high school.
"We do have small class sizes in this district" as compared to other districts in the state, Fisher said. "We're still seeing continuous improvement in grades."
Fisher and Simms said having quality teachers in the school district is more important than smaller classes.
"Research will tell you the first thing is good preschool, then good teachers," Fisher said. "Then down the line a little bit comes class size. That's not the board saying it, that's research. We're going to be driven by good research and good data. We constantly seek out the current data."

I believe every law enforcement officer should visit Washington, D.C. during the week of May 15, which is National Police Week. This is the week that law enforcement officers honor their brothers and sisters who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This is the week when all of the fallen officers' families honor their loved ones each year in Washington, DC.

John Masters Organics Birch & Cedarwood Cleansing & Shaving Bar Reviews
Lacks as a shaving bar.
This has a very interesting smell. I like it, even though it seems like it would be better for a guy (because of the woodsy smell). As a soap it does a great job. It's gentle and cleanses very well. However, as a shaving bar, it is lacking. It doesn't get enough lather. It doesn't stop nicks. I would not buy this again to use for shaving. — 4 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Increasing costs and downward pressure on fees creating the perfect storm for hedge fund industry
(As originally published in FEI Canada F.A.R. member e-newsletter, February 2013)
By Joseph Micallef, Financial Services Partner and Canadian Asset Management Industry Tax Leader, Ernst & Young LLP
Ernst & Young's most recent annual Global hedge fund and investor survey — the goal of which is to record the views and opinions of hedge funds and hedge fund investors globally, measure the views of each on the same topics and examine the two groups together — finds nearly 60% of hedge fund managers in North America say the cost of business has increased in the past year. However, it also finds there continues to be a disparity between managers' and investors' views about what costs should be borne by the fund.
Sixty-eight percent of funds reported that they pass along these increased costs — which is up from only 34% in 2011. And, there will continue to be a greater push and pull on this issue of cost allocation for the foreseeable future as investors increasingly show less appetite for costs to be charged to the fund than they did a year ago. We don't see this trend changing unless funds greatly improve investment performance returns.
Our survey also finds that while investors certainly consider a fund's performance when deciding whether to invest or discontinue their investment with a particular fund, it's not — contrary to what most fund managers believe — their top consideration.
Long-term performance is only the fourth most important criteria for investors, after the investment team (82%), risk management policies (70%) and clarity of investment philosophy (66%). And compared to 2011, both long-term and short-term past performance declined in importance for the investor community.
Although investors clearly look at past performance, confidence in the people who will generate future returns is more important, and confidence in the processes that will appropriately manage risk-taking is at least equally important. Transparency continues to be important to investors; leading hedge funds have shown that transparency means more than reporting on holdings and performance and now differentiate themselves from peers by communicating proactively and providing high levels of access to key personnel during due diligence.
The survey finds 84% of investors are inclined to take their assets elsewhere when there are changes in key personnel. This shows that the industry remains largely a people business, and turnover is a communication issue for funds. But managers who communicate openly and honestly with investors about changes in the team and performance issues give investors more confidence about their future returns, which is critical to keeping them from pulling out of the fund.
In December, we brought together managers and investors alike at Ernst & Young's Global Hedge Fund Symposium in Toronto. At the symposium, we discussed the survey results, as well as other issues, including hedge funds having to make increased investments in headcount and technology in order to meet increasing regulatory burden and prepare for expected growth. This, despite the fact that survey results indicate only 10% of investors feel that regulations effectively protect their interests, and 85% of investors do not believe more regulation will effectively prevent another crisis.
The general increase in costs, including regulatory-related expenses, has created more barriers to entry for start-ups in the industry, and we're seeing consolidation among those that don't yet have capital to support investment in new infrastructure.
However, investor support for emerging and start-up funds is increasing. Investors are allocating more to small and new managers, and funds of funds are demanding — and getting — concessions, particularly on fees. But investors and managers are drifting further apart on aligning compensation with risk and performance. This gap between managers and investors on compensation structures is not new, but the fact that it shows no sign of narrowing may become troublesome. In 2010, 94% of managers felt risk and performance were effectively aligned with investor objectives, while 50% of investors felt the same; in 2012, 87% of managers feel this is true, while only 42% of investors agree.
The overarching theme we're seeing is — with the cost of doing business increasing, and investors not ready to foot the bill — conditions are ripe for a perfect storm. But, while this storm is likely to persist in the short term, there are still investments to be found. Managers who are creative about where they seek these untapped investment capital dollars will thrive.

Both England and France have fantastic teams, Scotland showed vast improvement during the autumn internationals and, as I've been saying for the last couple of tournaments, Italy have a great chance of winning at least one game. They have been unfortunate at times and I've no doubt their squad will be competitive. Ireland have been getting consistently stronger and I hope our squad can take another step forward in the RBS Six Nations.
It is a benefit to us that we will play England and France at Lansdowne Road, but only if we perform well in our first couple of games. After that we will have an idea of where we are. The first game against Scotland at Murrayfield will be both difficult and important because they've outclassed us in recent matches, and we must be ready for it.
I'm hoping that I will play some part in the latter stages of the tournament after having an operation on my shoulder, and at the moment I'm working hard to build up my fitness. The final game of our RBS Six Nations campaign against England will be an absolute corker and the sort of match you want to be involved in.
The main thing is that we're still in with a shout by that stage because the tournament is all about winning games and performing throughout the competition. It will be a big day against England, but there is a massive amount to concentrate on before then.

RIP Steve Jobs: Here's to the crazy ones
Image source Designed by Jonathan Mak
Today's featured man is not famous for his looks, his body, or his face. This man is famous for his creative mind. A mind that has changed the way we think, the way we interact, the way we view our entire world.
A man, who would not shy away from the new and extraordinary. A man whose work has left its mark on an entire generation. Who brought design to the forefront of a world that was previously bombarded with the practical, the functional and the tirelessly boring.
Steve Jobs has left his fingerprints behind; you carry them in your purse, wear them in your ears, have them in your hands, on your desks, on the train, in your pocket and both you and i know we'd be lost without them.
So here's to the crazy ones, the square pegs in the round holes. Here's to the late nights at the office and the endless pursuit of perfection. Here's to the guy who was, to put it simply, great at his day job.
RIP Steve Jobs

Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac, is all about reward. Unlike the Aries love of the game, Taurus loves the rewards of the game. Think physical pleasures and material goods, for those born under this sign revel in delicious excess. They are also a tactile lot, enjoying a tender, even sensual, touch. Taurus adores comfort and likes being surrounded by pleasing, soothing things. Along these lines, they also favor a good meal and a fine wine. The good life in all its guises, whether it's the arts or art of their own making (yes, these folks are artistic as well), is heaven on Earth to the Taurus-born.
It's the Bull that serves as the Taurus's mascot, and along with that comes the expectation that these folks are bull-headed and stubborn. Yes, they are. Hey, this sign has a Fixed Quality attached to it after all, so expect that things will occasionally grind to a halt. That said, Taurus doesnÕt start out with the intention of getting stuck. They simply want to get things done, and it's that steady, dogged persistence that winds up being viewed as stubbornness. Bulls are actually among the most practical and reliable members of the zodiac, and they are happy to plod along, as it were, in pursuit of their goals. The good news for Bulls is that once they get to the finish line, they'll swaddle themselves in material goods. A self-indulgent beast? Perhaps, but if you toiled as laboriously as these folks do, you'd need some goodies, too.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, a lovely goddess who didn't deny herself many things. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus was the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Pleasure, and Taurus has pretty much taken up where she left off. Bulls are fond of all things pretty, whether it's in their home, at a museum or on the stage. Life as one sweet pas de deux is how the Taurus-born like it. To onlookers, this may look like so much materialism and blessed excess, but Bulls really aren't interested in living without beauty in their lives. Beauty to the Bull also comes in the way of a happy home life, one that includes a partner and a stable relationship.
Taurus values harmony in their personal lives, so they'll work hard on keeping their mate happy. The Bull's penchant for sensual pleasures, of course, can only help things along! Bulls can also be the sappiest of sentimentalists. Will all this overweening attention to their mate turn a Bull into a possessive mess? Probably not, although these folks do have to manage their tendency to latch on a bit tight. At the end of the day, however, TaurusÕs are true romantics and loyal to the core.
The Element associated with Taurus is Earth. No pie-in-the-sky for these practical folks, since they'd much rather be on terra firma. Bulls tend toward conservatism, and this is often seen in their day-to-day behavior. No far-out schemes (that's Air) or shrieking ultimatums (more like Fire) here. Taurus much prefers to take each day slowly and steadily and work toward their ultimate goal. Along these lines, those born under this sign are happy to stick with their projects until they have reached a successful conclusion. They are also extremely patient and dependable along the way. Does that sound earthy enough? The only kink in this well-oiled chain is the heckler in the gallery that tries to upbraid the Bull. These folks may not have a hair-trigger temper, but it's short enough. Bulls in a hissy fit can get pretty argumentative, but eventually they'll calm down and come back to center, since these folks would much rather be Zen. The Earth in this sign does tend to act as a balancing mechanism so that things never get truly out of hand. For every one person who considers the Bull a pain, there are two who will say 'No way!' and happily take the Taurus' gentle charms any day.
Seeing as how Bulls are generally strong and well-built, it's no surprise that these folks enjoy testing their strength on the field of play. Expect to find a Bull engaged in a spirited game of hoops or mountain climbing. Hiking is also a favorite pastime, since it keeps Taurus close to their beloved earth. Indoor adventures are also favored by Bulls, which is why the opera or ballet is right up a Taurus's alley. When it comes to love, the Taurus-born are devoted, romantic and somewhat possessive. Their sensual nature has a way of erasing any mistakes! Since Taurus rules the neck and throat, Bulls would be wise to keep a silky scarf at hand, ideally in a warm (and soothing) earth tone.
The great strength of Taurus is in their stability, loyalty and dogged determination. Bulls want to get the job done, and they will. What better way to get the riches they so fervently crave?

Drinking on the job
Abby Gillies at NZ Herald reports:
A company has been cleared after firing two senior workers and health and safety representatives caught drinking in the locker room during a liquor ban.
Henry Nee Nee and Andy Nathan claimed they were unfairly dismissed from Auckland-based import and export handling company C3 following the February incident that involved a group of employees drinking on site.
They said they were singled out for disciplinary action because they were union delegates and representatives on the health and safety committee.
Does being a union delegate mean you can drink on the job?
I would have thought being a health & safety rep would require model behaviour.
Nathan denied drinking on the premises and Nee Nee said he had drunk only ginger beer.
However, the investigation concluded Nee Nee had invited a group of six employees to drink beer in the locker room and all five drank 66 bottles of beer between them.
66 bottles between five? That's would be impressive if it were not at work.
In disciplinary meetings, Nee Nee and Nathan admitted they had initially falsely denied their involvement, saying they had acted unwisely.
In April they were dismissed for serious misconduct – a decision they appealed against.
ERA member Eleanor Robinson found that unlike the other men involved in the incident, Nee Nee and Nathan "had tried to mislead C3 about what had occurred … and had not admitted their culpability until the disciplinary meetings on 5 April 2012".
So, as if often the case, it was the lying that got them sacked.
As an employer I'll often only give warnings even if dismissal is warranted. But if an employee lies, that makes it incredibly difficult to ever have sufficient trust in them again. We all stuff up at work from time to time – but lying about it makes it worse.

When it happened, I thought JMU's win over Va. Tech was a bigger upset than Appalachian State's win over Michigan in 2007. Primarily because, while both saw ranked I-A/FBS teams fall to I-AA/FCS teams, JMU and Va. Tech are in the same state. Secondarily because I went to JMU.
The campuses are separated by just two hours of south-by-southwestern Virginia highway. Many folks who hail from the D.C. area, myself included, applied to both schools. Every Duke knows a Hokie, and vice versa. Boone County is 600 miles away from the Big House, so I'm pretty sure that's not happening with App. State and Michigan.
Since JMU's triumph, however, history seems to favor App. State's. Maybe that's because Michigan was ranked No. 5 at the time of their loss and Va. Tech only 13. Or maybe it's because the Dukes didn't get an SI cover like the Mountaineers did. Whatever it was, JMU-over-Va. Tech didn't even top Dr. Saturday's list of the best upsets of 2010.
But the season is over, and all the data is in, so we can quantify this a bit:
Michigan finished 18th in the AP and 19th in the USA Today in '07, while App. St. won the FCS championship.
Va. Tech finished 16th in the AP and 15th in the USA Today in '10, while JMU missed the FCS playoffs.
So there you go. Even putting aside the proximity of the schools involved, the '07 Michigan team was slightly worse than Va. Tech in '10, and '07 App. St. was far better than '10 JMU.
I suppose that's not the way JMU wanted to seize the title of Biggest Upset in FCS History, but they'll take it, and it should be remembered as such.

Hi Everyone,
I'm planning a natural, unmedicated birth with a midwife. She's suggesting that I take childbirth classes and get a doula. We can't afford both a doula and childbirth classes. I've been reading a lot and watching lots of documentaries on natural childbirth to prepare myself.
Do you think it's a better investment to go with the childbirth classes or the doula? I've heard that there's nothing people learned at a childbirth class that they couldn't get from a book. At this moment I'm leaning toward skipping classes & just hiring a doula. Anyone in the same boat or have any thoughts? Thanks for your feedback.

Parmi | #1 draft pick | Jake King is **** | Big Bash League tipping champion of the universeCome and Paint Turtle
A little surprised that Ravi Rampaul was bought for $290,000.
I mean where is now? Is he injured or can't make the West Indies best ODI XI?
Dirk Nannes $600,000 has done very well for himself, he is a top bowler and hopefully he gets a bit more support compared to at the Thunder.
Bollinger will be gutted, I don't think I would have bid on him though.
Guptill unsold at 100k while a guy who no-one had heard of until a week ago breaks 1 mill. Maxwell sure knows timing.
Exit pursuing a beerOriginally Posted by Jimmy Neesham
There have been some really bad buys, and misses imo. Aussies seem to be making bank this auction, and for Maxwell to go for 1 million is crazy...would of been less surprised to see him be unsold for 20k. As much as I think Faulkner, Henriques and Pomersbach are decent players, they all went for way above their worth. The best buys have been Ryder and McCullum. Biggest misses for me are Dananjaya, Phangiso and de Kock, with all three only going at 20k, they were all absolute bargains.
Reckon Ryder was over priced. Looks absolute trash these days from the vision I've seen.
Even more reason why I'm surprised that he went signed. Nah actually slightly unfair, big hitter and decent bowler at times.
Haha. Yeah like a million is heaps for the guy, but he is a pretty decent T20 Cricketer IMO.
Definitely figured he'd go for around the 400K mark.
Also, don't think NcCullum is that great a buy. He will hardly play IMO.
Maybe in the longer forms, but he's perfect for t20's. his hand eye coordination is as good as it ever was, and he can still play all the shots. Good buy imo.
Poor guppy, turned down the ipl cash last year to focus on his intl career and now the ipl clubs won't touch him despite the fact that he hit a match winning t20 century a month ago.

Who "Bleach" More Lisa Hype Or Vybz Kartel??? Serious Question. People are comparing popular dancehall artist "Vybz Kartel" to the late Micheal Jackson. Unfortunately Micheal suffered from serious skin pigment disease; however, Vybz Kartel is nicked named "the bleacher" by members of the "Alliance" due to the fact that each year his skin complexion as gotten lighter and lighter.
Bleaching is very dangerous.

I'm trying to apply a vertical divider line in my header, but I can't figure out how to do it.
I tried borders, but they aren't tall enough.
Is there a better way to make a vertical divider line / vertical rule that is always the full height of my header?
Nope, can't be done... without a little sample code or a sketch, anyway.
Would you mind posting something that we can use to posit a useful response. I feel sure something is possible.
True, it would be beneficial to the community if I at least provided a sketch. Here is a sketch of the layout I am trying to achieve with the vertical rule pointed to.
OK, a sketch was a dumb aid to suggest.
If you will not post code, then how about some supporting information, such as:
What determines the height of the header?
What prevents you from using a vertical border on a contained block?
The issue is obviously not as simple as the sketch suggests. Why not describe the requirements up front so we can at least offer better guesses?
First guess.

Three Days Late
6 comments:
- Henry said...
I was very unhappy about it and wrote to the Bishop's conference.
This is a summary of what I said.
"I attended Mass at my local parish this morning (Ascension Day). It may be of interest to you to know that attendance was much higher than on a normal weekday – indeed, numbers were about what they would normally have been on Ascension Day.
"The Feast of the Ascension has always fallen on a Thursday, nine days before Pentecost Sunday, in accordance with Scripture. The Anglican church celebrates it. In many continental countries, not just Catholic ones, it is a public holiday. It is often accompanied by traditional ceremonies. In Oxford, for instance, the Parish of St Michael's at the North Gate performs the ancient custom of 'Beating the Bounds' on Ascension Day. The clergy and members of the congregation perambulate the parish boundary, passing through and around various buildings, in order to 'mark' the boundary stones. On this day, the door between Brasenose College and Lincoln College is opened, and the procession ends with lunch in Hall at Lincoln College, accompanied by ivy beer. Afterwards, hot pennies are thrown to the children from the tower of Lincoln College into the front quadrangle.
"While I was under instruction in 1975 I took time off in my lunch hour to go to Mass on Ascension Day near my office in Islington. The church was full. And ever after, till I retired, Holy Days of Obligation were an opportunity to go to Mass in the place where I worked and so to make a connection there.This was beneficial in all sorts of ways – for example, passers-by saw crowds of people coming out of a Catholic church on a weekday.
"It seems to me that the decision to shift the Holy Days of Obligation has stirred up a feeling that the Hierarchy is letting its flock down in doing nothing more than planning for managed decline – and this at a time when the Catholic Church in Britain is once again enjoying growth. The situation needs to be reviewed."
People who know me will be aware that I am thinking of emigrating. The dire state of the Catholic Church in Britain (St Mary Magdalen's Parish and a few others excepted) is one of the reasons. And until the present regime, we had a succession of ingorant "modernisers", which made participating in anything more than the bare minimum something to be done out of duty.
Amongst the unpleasant aspects of life in Britain is that apart from a few exceptions like the Oratories at Oxford and London, and the Holy Name church, Manchester, going to Mass has become an ordeal to be endured. A crass translation, rubbishy hymns and vandalised buildings. The philistines have done their worst.
It shouldn't be like this. - 21/5/07 12:13 am
'Unhappy' doesn't adequately express my feelings on having Holy Days shifted. It's no real hardship to pootle off to Mass in the evening on a few odd days in the year. As a person who finds the outward expressions of faith very helpful and beautiful, the candles bells and smells which we also rarely see, shunting perfectly wonderful weekday celebrations to Sunday seems to be another erosion of our Catholic identity...Sigh.

Henry, don't forget Birmingham Oratory!

I went to Mass at St Joseph's and the priest there was indignant about the uproar, saying there was nothing unusual about moving it and that the bishops were right to do so. I have to say I plead ignorance on this but having heard the views of Father and various parishioners, and my friend in the US, I thought it most odd that a different parish priest should be so vociferous in defence of the bishops' decision.

- Henry said...
There are various names for people who defend their superiors' decisions, right or wrong, but all of them would offend.
- 21/5/07 8:13 pm
I have no qualms about removing the obligation to attend Mass on Ascension Thursday;but it does seem a nonsense to have Ascension Saturday/Sunday.
PS Father Ray, you look disgustingly healthy, and possibly espicobale!! - 21/5/07 8:41 pm

In an exclusive preview from our March issue, meet a local family that is raising a little girl born in the wrong body.
During the period in 2005 when Dr. Holden was evaluating Luc and sharing her findings with his parents, Judy sat down to read Luc a bedtime story. They were working their way through the L. Frank Baum series of stories based on his first book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. They were on the second book in the series, The Marvelous Land of Oz. In this installment, the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow team up with a boy named Tip. They discover that the rightful monarch of Oz is a princess, but that an evil witch has hidden the princess, preventing the natural succession for the kingdom. The unlikely band discovers that when the princess was a baby, the evil witch turned the child into a boy. What's more, they learn that that boy is Tip. In the end, thanks to the good witch, Tip is magically transformed into the princess he was born to be. As Judy finished reading the scene, she looked down into the crook of her arm and saw Luc welling up. "This is what you want, isn't it?" She asked. Luc nodded and said, "Yes."
Following Dr. Holden's diagnosis, the Martins took Luc to another psychologist. The family made the change in therapists because Luc had come to think of Holden's office as the site of tests. After a year of follow-up therapy with the psychologist, who supported Holden's findings, the family opted to give Luc a break from the analysis. They decided it was up to them to do their very best as a family to support their child. The Martins had the diagnosis and had been through the counseling—it all made sense to them. It had been impossible for Luc to be happy with the way the world was because he wasn't happy with who he was, or, rather, who he was expected to be. He wasn't a little train conductor. Like Tip, Luc was really a princess.
The Martins read everything they could get their hands on about gender dysphoria and transgender. They found plenty of information about adults and teens, but hardly a thing about children. They found no template, no "right way" to handle a child's transition. Even their pediatrician, Dr. Richker, told them that for him this was uncharted territory. What the Martins found in much of the literature, and in the news, were the true tales of young transgender people who went without support, who were tormented and developed suicidal tendencies, and who struggled to be who they were meant to be.
Judy stopped taking Luc to the barber, and started taking him shopping, encouraging him to pick out whatever clothes he wanted. He picked out dresses and blouses—the most brightly colored, "girly" clothing he could find. One weekday, while Michael was at work and Luc's little sister, Kelly, was at school, Luc put on a purple floral-printed skirt with a matching knit top. He twirled about the house, looking at himself in the mirror. His hair was growing out. For the first time in the longest time, Judy says, he seemed happy. When Michael came home from work, Luc whirled up to the door, eager for Dad's opinion.
Michael stood in the vestibule of their home for a long few seconds. Talking about gender dysphoria and transgender was one thing, but looking at his firstborn, the child he had thought was his son, in a skirt, was another. Judy looked into Michael's eyes, conveying the message: This is our daughter, and she looks beautiful, right? In that moment, it became real. Michael no longer had a son; he had just met his new daughter. "You look beautiful," he said. Michael says it really didn't require much deliberation on his part: "This was my child. I have a wonderful daughter, and I love her." Later, one night when Michael was alone, he cried for the son he had lost, and for a life he knew had just become more difficult for his family.
In those early weeks of the transition, the Martins advised Luc to only wear the dresses inside. Making the transition gradually, they figured, would be best for both Luc and the family. But the dichotomy was hard on Luc. His mood swings returned, and Judy and Michael could think only of her and of her happiness. "We realized this is who our child is," Judy says, "and what are we waiting for?" Judy and Michael realized that Luc wanted a new name, that she needed a new name. They talked with Luc. It didn't take much conversation before Luc became Lucia. It maintained the European quality of Luc; it was something that would be easiest for the extended family to embrace; and it just felt right. "It's quite common for transgender kids to keep some variation of their old name," Lucia told me. "For the people who know me now and call me by my old name, I consider they are calling me, like, Idiot. It's an insult and makes me feel bad."

The Master Mac OS X Secret Keystroke List: Appendix E - Mac OS X: Missing Manual Leopard
by David PogueHere it is, by popular, frustrated demand: The master list of every secret (or not-so-secret) keystroke in Mac OS X Leopard, including all of the keys you can press during startup. Clip and post to your monitor (unless, of course, you got this book from the library).
This excerpt is from Mac OS X: Missing Manual Leopard . Filled with step-by-step tutorials that will have you creating detailed 3-D objects quickly, Google SketchUp: The Missing Manual offers crystal-clear instructions for using every feature. You'll learn to use the basic tools, build and animate models, and place objects in Google Earth, with lots of real-world examples to show you how it's done.
You can find another huge list of keystrokes in the discussion of VoiceOver, Leopard's screen-control feature, on the section called "The VoiceOver Master Keyboard List". For the most part, the following list doesn't include the keystrokes that are already listed in your menus, either—like ⌘-P for Print, ⌘-S for Save, and so on.

Watch this, skip that
"American Idol" 8 p.m., Fox Let's celebrate the end of the beginning, as by the conclusion of tonight's episode we will have the 20 semifinalists in place at last, and it will be the viewers' turn to decide who stays and who goes.
So far, we have been happy with the job the judges have done during these Top 40 rounds, although we wish the performers themselves were more interesting. We haven't picked a front-runner yet, but perhaps he or she will emerge tonight.
"Parade's End" 9 p.m., HBO Tonight's showing concludes this five-part miniseries, a strange, languid and oddly fascinating adaptation of a series of novels by Ford Madox Ford.
"Parade's End" takes place in the same era as "Downton Abbey" and covers the same thematic ground – the emergence of the modern world early in the 20th century and its effect on the tradition-bound British upper class – but the storytelling style is vastly different.
The crux of "Parade's End" is a romantic triangle. Christopher Tietjens (Benedict Cumberbatch) is married to the beautiful but awful Sylvia (Rebecca Hall) when he falls in love with the young suffragette Valentine Wannop (Adelaide Clemens). Christopher's rigid code of 19th century-style honor serves to torment him as his life is gripped by these two thoroughly modern women.
If you missed the first few installments, do not fret. HBO will repeat the series often in the next few weeks, beginning with a complete showing Saturday,
"The Ben Show" and "Nathan for You" 10 and 10:30 p.m., Comedy Central Both of these new shows contain some laugh-out-loud moments, and neither is entirely a waste of time.
Ben Hoffman's sketch show specializes in putting people in uncomfortable situations (auditioning great-grandmotherly types for a foul-mouthed role as a rest-home gangster).
Nathan Fielder's show is a spoof of business-improvement series like "Kitchen Nightmares," with Fielder – "I graduated from one of Canada's top business schools with really good grades" – giving befuddled business owners intentionally bad advice (suggesting a frozen-yogurt shop introduce a poo-flavored treat).
You may spew your evening beverage of choice on the couch at a couple of points in these shows, but both have trouble sustaining 30 minutes, let alone a whole series. Better to watch the highlights online than invest too much time waiting for the occasional gems.

"We seem to use different parts of our brain which are heightened by our surroundings and senses. These parts of our brain are used at different times and it seems we are unable to open one, without closing another. If we could perform this and open every dimension our brain for just an instant I think we would be intrigued by our own power and spiritual influences..."

Antibiotics need to be used the way it was intended. .for Organic to be just that, antibiotics ought not come into play...for any reason!!!
Supporters are now helping to
Campaign won!
In April, we urged organic supporters to sign our petition to end tetracycline use in organic apple and pear orchards—and thanks to your action, we won. With your help, we convinced the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) to stop the use of this antibiotic in 2014. But, there's one more antibiotic that some organic apple and pear farmers still use – streptomycin. Tell the NOSB that…

versification, principles of metrical practice in poetry. In different literatures poetic form is achieved in various ways; usually, however, a definite and predictable pattern is evident in the language. In ancient Greek poetry, the pattern was in the quantity of the syllables, i.e., the duration of the time required to express a syllable. Intricate metrical patterns were devised by the Greek poets and adapted by the Romans. Greek terminology is still used in the analysis of metrics.
In modern languages, stress has been substituted for quantity. The line or verse of poetry is a fundamental unit of meter and is divided somewhat arbitrarily into feet according to the major and minor stresses. In the stanza beginning, "Thirty days hath September," there are four stresses in the first line; there is no unstressed syllable between the second and third stressed ones. The types of feet retain the ancient Greek names: iambus ˘¯; trochee ¯˘; spondee ¯¯; pyrrhic ˘˘; anapest ˘˘¯; and dactyl ¯˘˘ (each "¯" representing a long syllable; each "˘" representing a short syllable). Accordingly the number and type of feet determine the name of the meter, e.g., iambic pentameter, five iambic feet; iambic hexameter (see alexandrine), six iambic feet; and dactylic hexameter, six dactylic feet.
A patterned arrangement of lines into a group is called a stanza. Rhyme, which developed after the classical period, perhaps to reinforce rhythm when the old quantitative verse was no longer used, is an important element in stanzaic structure. Rhyme was developed to a high degree in Romance languages, especially in Provençal and French.
Germanic poetry, entirely unrelated to Greek origins, developed characteristics of its own, many of which are reflected in modern poetry. Anglo-Saxon and Icelandic poetry have strong accents or stresses, usually four to a line; a caesura or definite break in the middle of the line; and a pattern of alliteration (repetition of consonant sounds), usually of three of the stressed syllables of the line, or sometimes of only two. Much of Middle English poetry is alliterative verse, while the rest follows the French forms of rhyme and rhythm.
Chaucer is credited with inventing the first characteristically English stanza form, the rhyme royal. Later popular English forms were the ballad, the sonnet, and the stanza developed by Edmund Spenser, called Spenserian. Blank verse became the great dramatic line in the 16th cent., while the heroic couplet was the dominant form in 18th-century English verse. Modern poets, such as Gerard Manley Hopkins, have recognized both the time and stress measures of verse and have experimented with assonance, alliteration, sprung rhythm, and free verse.
