As the chair of The Concord Coalition's Youth Advisory Board, I am always looking for opportunities to highlight why issues of fiscal sustainability and entitlement reform most significantly impact today's young Americans and future generations. So when Sara Imhof, Concord's Midwest field director, asked me to speak on a panel with Congressman Paul Ryan and former SEIU President Andy Stern, two members of the President Obama's fiscal commission, I jumped at the chance.
Prior to the Oct. 12 event, I was fortunate to share a ride with Mr. Stern, and had a few minutes with both him and Congressman Ryan, hearing their perspectives and sharing some of my own. That includes my hope that the commission will use the opportunity in December, when it releases its findings, at least in part as a teaching moment -- an opportunity to shine a light on our nation's unsustainable fiscal path, the facts of which are undisputed by both major political parties.
I was encouraged to hear Congressman Ryan and Mr. Stern acknowledge not only the gravity of the situation we face, but also the critical need for an "adult" conversation about our policy options going forward.
During the event, I noted how, as a nation, we are passing an enormous debt burden onto young people and future generations of Americans who had no choice in the decision to incur the debt and no ability to oppose it. This country was founded over 200 years ago by individuals who stood up and declared that there were inalienable rights every American had, and set forth principles for how a just government functions. The Declaration of Independence states: "Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." Ask yourself: Have young Americans and future generations consented to roughly 20 percent and perhaps more of their budget, their resources, being taken every year to pay for the debts of prior generations? What right do we have to allocate the resources of Americans 20 or 30 years from now?
I also took the opportunity to highlight the great work many young Americans have done and are doing around issues of fiscal responsibility and civic engagement, including uomegame.com (a free web-based video game that challenges players to pay off their share of the national debt), WeCantPayThatTab.org, Concerned Youth of America and Mobilize.org.
After the event, I was fortunate enough to meet members of the Wisconsin Fiscal Advisory Council and hear about the great programming and work they have been doing and have planned for the new year. These are citizens, in the best, most honorable meaning of the word, coming together to educate others about the current state of our republic.
While it was a quick trip in and out of Milwaukee, it left me energized, particularly for the upcoming Fiscal Solutions Tour stop in Philadelphia.
Thanks again to my Milwaukee hosts and I hope to see some of you at the Fiscal Solutions Tour stop in Philadelphia this week!

Thread: Portland Boat Show 2013
Looking at the Enzos I was a bit surprised at how short they are in the rear by comparison to other hulls. For being touted the surf king, they had pretty close to the same profile/height in the rear as my old MobV (eyeballing it), just more of a sharp V on the bottom.
The years have been kind, it's the weekends that have done the damage.
2001 MobiusV - Loaded with Ballast, Exile, Blood, Sweat & Tears
I went back to the boat show Yesterday on free passes thanks to AWS. Just me and Claudia which is the first time we went on a main day with jsut us. We normally go with a group of people. We were there about 4-5 hours and spent the bulk of it at the AWS booth, and Tige booth.
We did go through the MC booth and talked to the guys there, as soon as they firgured out who i was they didnt talk sales to much. Not sure why? Maybe it was the sweatshirt i was wearing and they had already bashed SC brand for being so much less then MB and MC. They were nice guys though just bad tactics to ever say a bad thing about another brand, my motto is, say the differences, fact only not your personal thoughts when you are selling boats LOL.
I too saw the Black and Green X-Star, this is the second time i seen it, when i was on the SA450 in Oct i saw them lanch it for the first time and it looks better in the water then in a show room, but yea the green is way over the top nausiating.
Hanging out in the Tige booth was a lot of fun and knowing as many people in the Tige world as i do made for interesting conversations with the Tige rep and River City who is now the Tige dealer up here.
The R20 seems to be there big boat this year for sales at the show, followed closely by the RZR <20 ft>
The Z1 wasnt really getting any bites but i think its the 75+ price tage for a 21 footer. The Z3 got lots of attention and possible sale with custom order.
At the SC booth it was madness for a while. They had so much traffic at one point it felt like a night club that you cant walk through with out rubbing everyone LOL.
The White Worlds SA they had was spectacular to look at and got a lot of attention.
Sitting next to that was a Black and grey Supra 21V that looks to be sold at the end of the show to a younger couple. He looks a lot more excited then his wife LOL. Me and him were talking % rates since i just got my loan all done and locked in. <yes that means im a boat owner again>
Next to the 21V was the Infamous Moomba LSV in Black with Blue and looked really sharp.
Then you had the Winner of the Moomba Line the Back and Blue Mojo 2.5
Up till the show they only sold 1 Mojo and it was a 2013 also
At the show they sold 5 more and got some serious intrest in the 2012 White on White that was on display in the used boat section. i think they had it there because it has 170 hours on it lol.
Next to the Mojo they had a nice A22 from Axis, and i have to say in the last 4 years this boat is really starting to look like a family wake boat instead of the orginal plan of hard core take a garden hose to spray it down and walk away approach it started with.
You had the Malibu line sitting next to it, i think they only brough 3 new Malibus to the show. 24MXK, 23 LSV and 30th edition 20FT which i dont recal the tag name but its 90K 20fter with 3 computer screens and surf gate LOL. Its the most pimped out 20fter ive ever seen lol.
In the middle of the display floor was the Nautique line and they had 1 of each including the G25. The only way to see the G25 was to ask and they would take you to its special showing area. The back docks because there was no more roon for it inside LOL.
Over all it was the best time ive had at the boat show and i really enjoyed hanging out in SC and Tige booth. I didnt talk to any potential customers at Tige, but i sent several to the SC booth and even sent some personal friends who are looking at upgrading there I/O to V drive.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.
2013 Mojo 2.5 Skylon Tower. Bestia < Beast >
This also really limits the amount of weight the boat can really have in the rear. At the Polar Bear this boat was maxed out and water was over the rear rub rails. It does throw a nice wave but most of the riders agreed it wasnt as good as the hype on this boat.
Not only is the side shallow but look at the swim deck, that sits in the water with no ballast, so you can see how low it sits all the time.
This boat isnt really designed to have a lot of rear weight, only its factory system and then you can nose or center weight heavy. Also i was hearing a lot of the pro riders are going as fast as 14-16mph surfing now to clean up the waves and make the pockets longer.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

Marios Schwab Spring 2013 | Runway
Marios Schwab Spring 2013
If the tough leather harnesses, aggressively tailored dresses, and sporty black under-eye makeup the models wore during Marios Schwab's Spring 2013 made the designer look as though he's sending women into battle, it's because he is.
"We are warriors at the end of the day, all of us," Schwab said backstage after the show, explaining that this season is for him a reaction to the turmoil that surrounds the women who wear his clothing. And when could those women need shields more than now, with the Eurozone seeking a solution to its economic crisis and political unrest bubbling all over the world?
So to protect his customers, Schwab made pleated dresses that fit close to the body in shapes that resembled plates of armor and embellished shirts and other dresses with a metallic fringe that evoked the feeling of a tribal warrior. His shoes, fringed black leather affairs made in collaboration with Ancient Greek Sandals, helped carry that feeling to the ankle. Lace elements and crystal embellishments added a touch of femininity, but on long shorts that poked out from underneath dresses and skirts, even the sparkle looked like an extra layer of defense.

We purchased our first RV, a 1984 Toyota Dolphin class C motorhome, in November 1995. Because we most always took our dog, Daisy, a golden retriever crossbreed, with us wherever we went, it was natural to include her in the RV.
Daisy was a calm dog, and adapted quickly to the RV lifestyle. We got her one of those water dishes that do not spill — and they really work — so she always had water.
Microwave mishap
We bought the RV so that we could stay in the driveway of my parents' mobile home and be close by them. My mom was in the end stages of cancer.
One day we left their house in a hurry with my dad on board, to run an errand for Mom. Unfortunately, we were in such a hurry we forgot to set the microwave off the kitchen counter. It slid off and partially landed, or shall we say, almost landed, on Daisy. She made a single leap from the back, between the two seats and landed in Dad's lap.
To her great credit, she continued traveling with us, by her own choice. She was leery of things moving, but accepted it with caution.
Potty time
Another great thing about Daisy is that she learned the command "Go potty." It was amazing to us, but she actually learned to go to the bathroom on command.
If we were about to be on a stretch of road where we knew there was no place to pull over, we would let her out before we started, and told her "Go potty." It only took a couple of times, and she learned what to do. And she consistently did it.
Adjusting to new coach
In July 1999 we purchased a new Sea Breeze class A motorhome. Daisy went with us to take delivery on it. Boy, was that a surprise. After traveling in the small Toyota Dolphin for about 40,000 miles, we thought she would be thrilled to have such a wide aisle to be in (she could lie down with her feet straight out).
But to our surprise, Daisy was scared to pieces. She jumped up under my feet in the passenger seat and squeezed herself under the dash, and there she stayed for most of the 150-mile curvy trip home. After a few trips in the Sea Breeze, she got used to it, and was the first one in when the door was opened.
We now have 59,000 miles on our Sea Breeze. So you see, we travel a lot in our RV. Even though I (Rose) still work full time. To put on that many miles in that short of time, you have to be on the road quite a bit.
Final trips
Our most recent trip ended Jan. 4, 2003 . We had Daisy with us. She had been diagnosed with aggressive cancer in early July of 2001. Yes, that's about 19 months earlier. They said she only had a few weeks left to live. So we loved her all the more, and spoiled her totally.
I guess Daisy decided all the love and special foods were too much to give up, so she kept on living, and enjoying every trip. She was with us on a 6,000-mile trip across Canada, down through Illinois and back home to Trinidad, Calif. And she swam -- or at least walked — in every lake and river that we stopped at — and that was a lot of them.
As I said, Daisy was with us on January 4. She was getting weak, and sometimes we had to help her get in the motorhome. But she loved being with us.
The last thing she did on that last trip was to come up and let us know that she had to "Go potty." As soon as we could, we stopped and let her outside. Sure enough, that's exactly what she was telling us. It was the last time she "told" us that. She was very weak and had stopped eating.
We said good-bye to our wonderful, loving Daisy dog on Jan. 8, 2003 . She was 11-1/2 years old — a good age for golden retrievers. We hope she enjoys some great rides in "doggy heaven."
Ziggy's story
We also had a very independent black cat named Ziggy. When we traveled in the motorhome we left Ziggy at home, where he could come and go as he pleased through an open window. My father-in-law lives close by, and he would come and give Ziggy a fresh food and water, and visit for a while.
There was just one problem. Ziggy was a family pet, and we were his family. When we were preparing for a trip, he started getting inside the RV for a while. So, Dick put a litter box in the bathtub for him, and we took him on an overnight trip.
Keeping us company
During the trip he yowled a lot, paced all over, and sat in my lap a lot. We had a harness and a leash for him. So we put the harness on when we left, and he kept it on all the time while in the RV. Plus, we took him on a very short walk. Have you ever tried walking a cat on a leash? Actually many motorhomers probably have. Anyway, that was the first time Ziggy accompanied us on a motorhome trip.
After only two trips Ziggy had became our RV cat, at the age of 15. Yes, old cats can learn new tricks. He always used his litter box in the bathtub. He learned to walk with Daisy without too much complaining, and his favorite napping place was on the bed in back. He also quickly learned that his food was in the "pet locker" under the dining seat.
Squirrel chasing
Ziggy came with us on a two-week trip to South Dakota and parts in between Trinidad and the Badlands: about 4,000 miles. Once, we even let him out without a leash in a high mountain forest campground. He found a squirrel that he tried to race to a tree. He was 18 then, but still ran so fast he almost beat the squirrel to the tree. But the altitude was about 10,000 feet, and he wasn't used to it.
The squirrel beat him. Ziggy walked back to the motorhome, drank some water and "crashed" on the bed. He didn't move for hours. He was really "pooped" out, mostly from the high altitude. Of course, in human age he was almost 100, so that probably was part of it.
'Great cat'
Anyway, Ziggy was a great RV cat. He never missed a trip, by his own choice, once he realized he was going to be left behind otherwise. He was a great friend, a great traveler, and we miss him. He passed away June 2002, immediately after one of our short trips.
We love to travel in our motorhome, and we love to have our little furry friends with us. We make sure they enjoy the ride, too.

1. (For those who have not had children): If you were in a committed relationship with someone nearly as perfect as Edward, how would you react to an unexpected pregnancy?
I love kids and if I was with someone like Edward and I knew I would be with them for a long time, I wouldn't mind being pregnant.
2. Was the pregnancy as unexpected for you as it was for Bella and Edward?
Yes, but I wasn't in as much shock as either of them was.
4. Both Bella and Edward act fiercely to protect the ones they love. Do you think it is right for Bella to protect her baby before considering Edward's needs?
I hate to point this out but blood is thicker than water meaning that the relationship she shares with Renesmee is thicker than the relationship that she shares with Edward. My mom is the same way to a certain extent. She loves my Dad, but I think she'd go through more for me, her only child than for him.

Hi there,
It would be of great help if anyone could help me identify these plants. Sorry some of the images are the wrong side up.
Many thanks!
This plant is a bit over 1m in height.
Looks like tulip foliage, is it?
Is the white flowering plant a white bluebell?
This was taken in a woodland and I am curious to know what the white flowers are?
Is the central plant a lily and what is the other plant surrounding it?
1. Leycesteria formosa?
2. Colchicum maybe (the flowers and leaves come at different times of the year)
but might be Tulipa or Allium; I don't think it is Hosta
3. Viola riviniana; a self-sown derivative of a particular plant that was probably a stronger purplish colour, which would have placed it in the Purple Leaved Group. These are often incorrectly labelled as Viola labradorica.
4. a white bluebell (Scilla)
5. Cyclamen and Dicentra in flower, with Geum and Galium foliage;
can't see enough of the white-flowered plants (but they're probably in the Cruciferae)
6. in the middle: Helleborus?; surrounding: Lilium, maybe (I'm tempted to suggest Alstroemeria, but I don't think it is right)
7. Abies or Picea; need to pull a leaf off and see if the scar is round and flush with the twig (Abies) or squarish and forming a stub (Picea)
Hi Mike,
Thank you very much
You're welcome.
My preceding post was just to get you started, really (apart from 3).
Get back to us if there are any follow-up questions.
Hi Mike & FM,
I agree with your ids for the first four images Mike.
No.5 - I can't see Cyclamen flowers, only Dicentra, but the white flower is the white variant of Herb Robert - Geranium robertianum - you can just make out the 5th petal stuck to two of the other 4 and some leaves below. The rosette of silvery leaves are that of Lychnis coronaria, a member of the Campion family.
No.6 - The large central plant is a Lily, most likely a Martagon Lily or possibly a Turk's cap - which both have the whorls of leaves up the stem, though the leaves of this plant looks more like the Martagon to me. The smaller plants around it could be seedlings, epsecially if the larger plants have been in situ for a few years. A closer pic of the smaller plants would help, but time will tell too... Nice Fritillarias in the background.
As for the conifer, the blunt needles make me favour Abies over Picea, but the needle test will verify :-) I think the conifer in the pic with the violet is a Picea, for contrast...
Hi Jen,
Thanks for your thoughts.
5. The smaller group of pink flowers - yes, OK - no cyclamen (and I did think maybe Dodecatheon for a while).
6. Lilium - OK

A gay Dallas couple's highly publicized Skype wedding has been declared invalid by a court in Washington, D.C., Instant Tea confirmed Monday afternoon.
Mark Reed-Walkup said he and his partner of 10 years, Dante Walkup, were "extremely disappointed" to receive a letter Friday from the Superior Court for the District of Columbia. The letter, shown below, states that the couple's marriage couldn't be certified or registered because all parties weren't physically present for the ceremony.
Reed-Walkup said the letter came as a surprise because a supervisor in the clerk's office told the couple prior to the wedding that nothing in D.C. law would prohibit what is known as an e-marriage. The couple held the ceremony at the W-Dallas Victory hotel, and it was officiated via Skype from the nation's capital, where same-sex marriage is legal.
"It was extremely disappointing. We were very depressed on Friday," Reed-Walkup told Instant Tea on Monday. "We felt like we had covered our bases, and all of the media out there was agreeing. No one was saying what we did wasn't legal, so we felt very confident that we had succeeded, and so it really was a kick in the stomach and it hurt. Having that piece of paper that says you're legally married really means a lot to a couple, at least it did to us. It made a stronger emotional bond that we didn't expect. That same emotional bond that we felt strengthened our relationship was take away on Friday."
Reed-Walkup said he believes someone must have complained about the marriage to D.C. officials after reading media reports about the Skype wedding, which has made international news in recent weeks. But Reed-Walkup said he thinks it's unfair that the couple wasn't notified the court was reviewing the matter until they received a copy of the letter.
"I can only speculate that there was somebody out there motivated by homophobia or politics or both that wanted to see this marriage annulled and prevent other couples from pursuing it," Reed-Walkup said.
"We're going to be talking to legal counsel to see what our options are," he added. "If we feel like we have a strong case based on the information that we received when we applied for our license, we'll pursue it legally. But if it's not a strong case, we're not going to waste time and resources. We'll just take a quick trip to D.C., have her [the officiant] marry us in the airport, and go back to Dallas. We will get eventually married one way or the other through Washington, D.C."
Reed-Walkup said the couple has also withdrawn a discrimination complaint it filed last week against The Dallas Morning News for refusing to publish its wedding announcement.
"Right now legally we don't have a legal marriage, so we felt we could no longer pursue the case with The Dallas Morning News until we get this resolved," he said. "Once we do, we will be back at trying to change the policy with regard to the publication of same-sex weddings."

Toshiba is latest to be affected by Sony-produced notebook
batteries. The company announced on Monday that it would recall 340,000
batteries found in its Dynabook and Satellite series notebooks -- 100,000 of
which were sold in the United States.
It should be noted that this recall doesn't involve
batteries catching fire as in previous recalls. Instead, this recall is related
to the battery packs unexpectedly losing power under normal operating
conditions. Toshiba says that the affected batteries were produced between March
and May of 2006 and free replacements will be offered. Yahoo!

The series of
production problems at Sony comes at a crucial time when the Tokyo-based
electronics and entertainment company behind the Walkman portable player and
PlayStation video game machines has been trying to bolster its brand image
under the leadership of its first foreign executive, Welsh-born Howard
This latest recall from Toshiba brings the total Sony
battery count to more than 6 million following the 1.8 million recalled
by Apple and the 4.1

It's one thing for the NSA to scrape the Internet of private citizens.
That thing would be this: probably wrong but to be expected since we have all of us been cautioned over and over again about not expecting to keep anything private when we go online.
It's quite another for the NSA to spy on heads of government in allied states.
These folks have every right to believe what they say and do will be theirs alone, not plucked from cyberspace by an American agency.
That othr thing is this: clearly wrong and, to put a name on it, stupid.
Stories running today say President Obama did not approve NSA spying on the likes of Angela Merkel and didn't know about it. One would certainly hope not.
But one would also hope heads would roll and that the president would in outspoken language distance himself from what the NSA has been up to.

Productivity of FieldPea (Pisumsativum L.) and Spring Oat (Avena sativa L.) Grown as Sole and Intercrops Under Different Nitrogen Levels
Intercropping cereal grains and legumes has potential as an alternative cool-season forage cropin low-input farming systems. The objectives of this study were to quantify the effects of density, species proportion and nitrogen (N) supply on the biomass accumulation of field pea and spring oat grown as sole or intercrops. Greenhouse experiments were conducted using an additive series experimental design. Treatments included threefertilizer Nrates and 20 density/proportion combinationsin a randomized complete block with four replications. Sole plant densities included 2, 3, 4, 5 plants of each species pot-1 (16 cm in diameter, 16 cm in height). The species ratios per pot for the intercrop included 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 2:2, 2:3, and 3:5 and their reciprocals. Nitrogentreatments included urea at 0, 0.2, or 1.0 g N pot-1in a split application. Plants were harvested and oven dried to constant weight at 46 days after planting. As density increased, sole cropped oat and fieldpea biomass increased. In the intercrop, oat showed greater biomass accumulation at higher N levels, whereas field pea biomass was reduced at the highest N level. In both sole and intercrop, oat was more sensitive to intraspecific competition than field pea. Niche differentiation was only observed at the highest N level. At higher N and lower total density, mixtures yielded more than monocultures, indicating that intercropping of field pea and spring oat may be beneficial. Results from this study can aid in future field research to determine optimum density for each species and N rates to be applied in field pea-oat intercropping systems.

Marlins send star prospect Yelich to Minors camp
By Joe Frisaro / MLB.com
JUPITER, Fla. -- All along, Christian Yelich knew making the Marlins' Opening Day roster was a long shot.
So what the 21-year-old did was make his demotion a tough decision.
The expected, yet difficult, call came on Friday, when Yelich was reassigned to Minor League camp, where he will open at Double-A Jacksonville.
"You come in here with realistic expectations," the left-handed-hitting outfielder said. "I came in here not expecting to make the team, but with the idea of, go have fun, make a good impression and just enjoy the time you're up here."
You can file this roster move under the "life's not fair" category.
The business side of the game, coupled with the organization not wanting to rush the highly touted outfielder, were deciding factors.
Yelich, who's ranked 13th on MLB.com's Top 100 Prospect List, was Miami's feel-good story of Spring Training. The organization's first-round pick in 2010, Yelich was arguably the team's best player since camp started -- batting .364 with a .451 on-base percentage and a .818 slugging percentage.
Along with Yelich, the Marlins also reassigned right-hander Jonathan Albaladejo and catcher Jake Jefferies to Minor League camp. Right-hander Tom Koehler was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans.
The Marlins now have 38 players in camp.
Regarded as a pure hitter, Yelich also showcased some power. In Grapefruit League play, he had the distinction of belting a homer to lead off a game, which occurred on March 2 at the Mets. He also delivered a walk-off blast with two outs to beat the Red Sox on March 11.
Manager Mike Redmond was so impressed, he kept running Yelich out there, giving the hitting sensation as much big league camp experience as possible.
"He had a great spring," Redmond said. "Like we'd been talking about all spring, he was very impressive. Not just on the field, but the way he handled himself. He's a great teammate. He's a great player. His day will come.
"We've talked about him not having an at-bat above [Class] A ball. Just continue to do what he's doing in Double-A."
This spring, Yelich paces the Marlins in home runs (five), RBIs (14) and runs scored (13).
In the end, the fact Yelich hasn't played above Class A made a difference. He dominated there a year ago, and he's continued to hit.
"They said, 'Good, keep working hard, and we're going to get you some more at-bats,'" Yelich said. "It kind of went how I thought it would go. You can't be upset or disappointed in it, because you did a good job, you played well. I feel like I was able to leave a good impression."
At Class A Jupiter in 2012, Yelich batted .330 with 12 homers and 48 RBIs. After the season, he participated in the Arizona Fall League, where he hit .301 in 25 games.
By sending Yelich down now, the Marlins are able to hold off Yelich's MLB service time clock. Clearly, Yelich, a native of Thousand Oaks, Calif., is a big part of Miami's future. If the team waits until around mid-June to bring him up, it will push his arbitration clock back another year.
Delaying the debuts of top propspects is a common practice across the big leagues. In 2010, for instance, the Marlins promoted Giancarlo Stanton from Double-A on June 8. The same day, the Nationals called up Stephen Strasburg.
The reality is that Yelich hasn't played as high as Double-A ball, and there isn't an urgency to rush him. Yelich is a career .322 hitter in the Minor Leagues, where he has 909 total at-bats. A rule of thumb in the league is you know a player is ready when he has 1,500 Minor League at-bats. But that, of course, depends on the player.
"I think the player tells you whether they're ready or not," Redmond said. "Now, it's just a matter of him continuing to do that, to show the consistency. We'll know, when he gets into this Double-A season, how he's doing. He will let us know when he's ready to come to the big leagues."
Comparatively, Mike Trout had 1,117 Minor League at-bats before becoming a fixture in the Angels' lineup last year. The exception to the rule is Bryce Harper, who became a regular with the Nationals last year despite having 461 Minor League at-bats.
"I haven't played above Double-A," Yelich said. "It's a fact. I've been told it for the last two weeks, from everybody."
With Yelich now in Minor League camp, the Marlins will spend their remaining spring games deciding who will play center field. Chris Coghlan, Justin Ruggiano and Gorkys Hernandez are all in the mix.
"It will be nice not having to answer the question, are you going to stay or not?" Yelich said. "I was getting that a lot the last week. It will be go down there and get at-bats every day. I knew this was going to happen. It was a matter of when. It will be good to go down and be with the team I'm going to be with."

... So I went off. =) I was on the train to Harajuku when I realized I couldn't stand being _this_ close to Shinjuku and not actually going there. Shinjuku! Skyscrapers. Packed train station. Cyberpunk. I was thinking of just going there for the train station, actually. ;) Shinjuku gets infamously crowded during rush hour. Not that I was expecting rush hour at 8 on a Sunday morning, but hey. =)
I discovered there that it doesn't pay to get up early, as most shops don't open until 11. Fortunately there were a few small cafes near the wickets. I ordered a set breakfast: toast, soft-boiled egg, potato, and coffee (which I changed to lemon tea)...
As the first (real) stop on my itinerary was more of a teenager's place and I didn't think people would be going about in full costume early Sunday morning, I decided to head to a park near Shinjuku station. Walked around, tried the slides ( =) Kid! ), enjoyed the air, marvelled at how even their homeless people have uniformly blue makeshift housing...
On my way back to Shinjuku station, I encountered a tour group going
into the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. I lined up behind
them and went up to the South Observatory. Surveying the Tokyo
landscape, I realized just how small a city Manila is.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building also has a tourist information center, and I went there to pick up a few maps. The center has a few free Internet terminals, and I thought of looking up Kathy's poi shop. I copied the address into my iPAQ, making sure I had the correct street address. Japanese street addresses are notoriously uninformative, so I wanted to be prepared.
On the way I wondered if then might not have been a good time to buy the one-day pass, but for some reason, I decided not to. (Sacha: next time instinct kicks in like that, it might be a good idea to listen to it...)
I headed off to Itabashi to find Kathy's poi shop. I must've circled thrice before giving up. Foolish me hadn't thought to copy the phone number as well. I took the train back to Shinjuku, trekked all the way back to the tourist information center, copied the address, called the shop, went back to Itabashi, called the shop again, and finally got fetched at the station by one of of the shop attendants. <laugh>
It was so much fun at that shop. I stayed for longer than I intended. The guy was really good at poi! I took a short video. =) You gotta love a shop that has a bin full of practice poi just for fun.
... and, of course, I bought stuff. Officially for Kathy, but I should probably practice with them while in Japan... ;) So, Kathy: you have a fire staff. I had hoped to get a long stave with 10cm wicks, but the only size with new stock was the 1m staff. I figured you'd prefer the 10cm wicks over the 5cm wicks. I also picked up a pair of LED poi. =) Each poi uses 2 AA batteries, so we'll be able to use standard rechargeable batteries. Yay!
The maps I picked up from Shinjuku showed me that the main Kinokuniya store was near Shinjuku Station, so I decided to go there and spend some time checking out the test preparation books. I bought a self-study book for level 3 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test I'm taking this December. I also bought the first volume of Fruits Basket, checking to make sure it had furigana. I remembered liking the anime series. The manga version might be even more fun.
From Shinjuku, I went to Akihabara. I wandered around looking at electronics. Couldn't find a stylus for my iPAQ, though, as the stores I visited didn't stock accessories for my version. I bought a pretty 128MB USB 1.1/2.0 flash disk. It looks like a piece of jewelry. It even comes with a silvery chain. http://www.airlinktek.com or http://www.usbanydrive.com for technical support. I hope the housing's going to last, though; the edges are a bit scary. But it's pretty! And it works with Linux! (mount -t vfat /dev/sda /your/favorite/mount/point) I wonder if Mom would like one...
Didn't buy anything else in Akihabara. (Wow!) The walkie-talkies cost around 10,000 yen each, so I don't think it's worth buying just for the convenience of being able to disappear. We'll just have to agree to meet back at certain places frequently.
Dropped the Tokyo Tower sunset from my itinerary, as it was already somewhat late. Decided to go to Harajuku instead. Must remember not to believe that Discovery features show typical (Sun)day, as most people were rather ordinarily dressed. Did find many strange shops, though, including those that stocked all sorts of costumes and those with all sorts of accessories. Tempted to buy headband with cat-like ears from the accessory store with a Halloween display. Also dropped by Chicago, a thrift shop near the station. Was looking for trenchcoats. Didn't like any of the ones there. Looked at the kimonos, too. A full set will cost around 10,000, but then again, what'll I really do with one? Am thinking of going to one of those maiko/geiko photo studios next time am in Tokyo, as the packages look quite tempting. Might need to wait for my skin to clear up first, as currently have large pimples. Whoops. Must hurry, as promo is only until end of September.
On way home, discovered that there was a comic art exhibition that afternoon. Whoops. Oh well. Couldn't be bothered to figure out exactly where it was, anyway. Also discovered that the International Performing Arts Festival started today. Whoops. This is different from the Street Performers Festival (May). No venue given, though, so will have to call sometime.
Total fare came to juuuust under the cost of the JR Holiday Pass that would've given me free access to local and rapid JR trains, including the train between Tokyo and Yokohama. Guess it all worked out, although all the station-hopping burned originally-calculated margin. My fault--inefficient!
Picked up a copy of the inn and ryokan guide. Am thinking to visit Kyoto / Osaka / Nara to see old structures. Most of these will be temples, though. Hmm. Would definitely like to stay at a ryokan (Japanese-style inn) sometime, though. Western-style hotels are more expensive and less interesting. Maybe a hot spring trip... >giggle<

A couple of days ago, we walked over to the end of the bay at Soufriere and checked out the Hummingbird Resort. It sits right at the water's edge on a not very nice beach with exceptionally clear water. Local guys hang around here and dive off cliffs for money.
Dressed in red shorts so they can be seen from the boats which arrive, two people dive, while several others swim out to the boats for tips.
Meanwhile, back at Malgretoute, our favourite local beach, many sailboats and catamarans were moored and fishermen waited for a bite.
I tried to feed my favourite little beast a piece of apple; he sniffed it but was too shy to take a piece.
We'd been planning to head up to the next bay north around the corner from Anse Chastanet for a while, and today, being a beautiful breezy sunny day, was the day.
Packing up the bags, we headed out and up the steep road early in the morning, trying to avoid the midday heat.
This time the walk seemed less onerous than the first time and before we knew it, we were heading down the hill to Anse Chastanet, along the beach and onto the road leading along the water and below the cliffs towards Anse Mamin.
Anse Mamin is a small black sand bay which is also a part of the Anse Chastanet resort.
When we arrived, there were only a couple of others there; the beach started to fill up around noon, just as the grill was getting going – this place is famous for its great grilled food at lunch.
The water was clear and fresh, the sun was hot, and we enjoyed a lazy St Lucian day. After a beer at the Anse Chastanet bar on the way back, we inquired about a water taxi, only to be told by the bartender, who'd phoned someone, that it would cost $150 US, an outrageous ripoff. I suppose that the boatman thought we were staying at the resort and reasoned that, if we could afford $500 – $1,000 a night, we could afford his ridiculous price … not. We snorted and walked back instead.
The view out over the bay to the Petit and Gros Pitons is gorgeous from this road; down below we could see a convoy of French catamarans making a stately progress through the water along the cliff face.
The view from our balcony at sunset is gorgeous; we love to drag out the chairs and sit watching the action in the streets below and the clouds blow across the blue sky towards the west.
Soufriere has its share of lost souls, some of whom can be seen sitting on the sidewalks below us every day.

On the eve of the 2008 World Series, let us take another look at the numbers.
It is now two days before the start of the 2008 World Series, which will be played at the home ball park of the American League Champion, the Tampa Bay Rays, Tropicana Field, on Wednesday, October 22, at 8:22 pm Eastern. The Tampa Bay Rays will be hosting the National League Champion, the Philadelphia Phillies, a team that has just won only its sixth pennant in its 125-years history. So, how did Charlie Manuel's boys get here, on the verge of possibily winning the franchise's second World Series crown? Let look at the numbers, shall we?
First, let's see how well this team did month by month.
March/April: 15-13
May: 17-12
June: 12-14
July: 15-10
August: 16-13
September: 17-8
Total: 92-70
As can be seen, the team has winning records in six of the seven months shown above, with their best month being September, when the team, with Ryan Howard's resurging bat leading the way, would sprint their way to the National League Eastern Division pennant, and with their worst month being June, which coincided with their bad spell of Interleague play. More on that later.
Another thing that people have said is that you have to win series to win pennants, and the Phillies have also done that. At the end of the regular season, they have ended up with 27 series wins, 19 series loses and 6 series splits. Of their 27 series wins, they have won all of the games (sweep) in nine of them (Colorado (2), Atlanta (3), Washington (2), Los Angeles (NL) (1), Milwaukee (1)) for a total of 28 wins, while in their 19 series defeats they were swept only twice (Los Angeles (AL), Los Angeles (NL)) for a total of 7 loses. Of their 10 series wins during the last two months of the regular season, their most important ones would be the one against the Padres in San Diego as it would help to get the team back on track after having been swept by the Dodgers in Los Angeles; their home sweep of the Dodgers since it would help prove to the team that they can beat anybody at home; their win against the Mets in New York at the beginning of September as it would help the Phillies stay close to the Mets, especially after having lost the previous series in Washington; their four games sweep of the Brewers, as it would give the Phillies the option of winning either the Eastern Division or the Wild Card, putting them in the driver seat of the later as they challenged the fading Mets for the former; their final sweep of the Braves in Atlanta as it would help to build up momentum for; their series win against the Marlins in Miami, in which they would help to kill the Marlins' own hope for the post-season; and lastly, their second sweep of the Nationals which would see them clinch their second straight divisonal crown on the last Saturday of the regular season, while the Sunday win by the rookies and the bench players would help them to maintain momentum going into the National League Divisional Series against Milwaukee.
Another thing that you need to do is to win games in your own division. And the Phillies have actually accomplished that, believe it or not. In fact, they have done pretty well against both teams in their own division and against the teams of the other two divisions within the National League:
National League East: 41-31
National League Central: 27-16
National League West: 20-12
Unfortunately, they have not done so well this year against teams from the American League, going 4-11 in Interleague play.
But, how well have they performed against the other clubs in the National League? The Phillies would end the regualr season with losing records against only two other NL teams, both of them being teams within their own division:
National League East:
Atlanta Braves: 14-4
Washington Nationals: 12-6
Florida Marlins: 8-10
New York Mets: 7-11
Total: 41-31
The Phillies' best record in both the division and against the NL overall was their 14-4 record against the Braves, which included their three straight three games sweeps of the Braves' in their own ball park, something that have not happened to the Braves since they were swept by the Chicago Cubs in 1909, when they were known as the Boston Doves. Their worst record in the division was their 7-11 record against the New York Mets, who won all but the last two series with the Phils, including their series spilt of late August in Philadelphia and the Phillies' 2-1 series victory in New York in early September, including the spilt of a day/night Sunday doubleheader which would keep the Phillies close to the Mets before they would make their final move to win the Eastern Division pennant.
National League Central:
Milwaukee Brewers: 5-1
Cincinnati Reds: 5-3
St. Louis Cardinals: 5-4
Chicago Cubs: 4-3
Houston Astros: 4-3
Pittsburgh Pirates: 4-2
Total: 27-16
Against the teams of the National League Central Division, the Phillies would do rather well, winning most of their series against them. They would do best against the Brew Crew, spliting the series in Milwaukee and then sweeping them in an important August series in Philadelphia that would help propel the Phillies into the lead of the National League Wild Card race, on their way to their eventual winning of the National League Eastern Division.
National League West:
Colorado Rockies: 5-0
Los Angeles Dodgers: 4-4
Arizona Diamonbacks: 4-3
San Diego Padres: 4-2
San Francisco Giants: 3-3
Total: 20-12
Against the West, the Phillies would end the season with a 20-12 record, doing their best against the Rockies, as they would get even with the former National League Champions for losing the 2007 National League Divisional Series by sweeping them in five games, although they would do the home portion of the sweep against a wounded team, while doing their worst against both the Giants and the Dodgers, as they would spilt home series with both teams, winning the series at Citizens Bank Park (2-1 (Giants), 4-0 (Dodgers)), while losing the series on the road (1-2 (Giants), 0-4 (Dodgers)).
Last, and certainly not least, the Phillies did not do very well this year in Interleague play. Lets face facts, people, they stank, as they went 2-4 against two teams in the American League East, and 2-7 against three teams from the American League West, while going 1-5 against two of the elite teams in the American League (Boston and Los Angeles Angels):
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: 0-3
Boston Red Sox: 1-2
Oakland Athletics: 1-2
Texas Rangers: 1-2
Toronto Blue Jays: 1-2
Total: 4-11
With their record against American League teams in Interleague play, it should means that this team might have a hard time with the American League Champion Tampa Bay Ray. But the team that got creamed by the American League in May and June is not the same team that have finished crushing first the Milwaukee Brewers in the Divisional Series and then the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Championship Series, and with little help from either their set up man (Jimmy Rollins) or their biggest offensive threat (Ryan Howard) until the end of both series. This team appears to be a lot more confident now then they did when they faced the American League elite teams the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Angels at home back in June. That might make all the difference by the time the World Series is over.
The Phillies also had a very good home-road split. At Citizens Bank Park, they had a record of 48-33, where they were in a four way tie for the second best record for the National League, while they were 44-37 on the road, the best record in the National League. Overall, their 92-70 record was the second best in the National League, trailing only the Chicago Cubs (97-64) and the fifth best in the Majors. Those two records of success at both home and on the road should help the Phillies when they face the Rays starting on Wednesday.

Does any one know the Blueberry Ice Cream Parlor on Rt 302? Its a good starting location.
Make sure to bring proper foot gear for hiking at the falls. There have been three hikers that have slipped because of conditions and/or improper shoes. The guy from Georgia didn't make it.

Lets set up the start time and place first.
I am guessing this tread has died. Well. Happy riding. I will post some photos from my ride and the hike to the falls.
Yep. I figured I route already how to sneak out by Roundout reservoir, Yagersville, Sundown Peekamouse and etc. to Tannersville.
It might be to much for one after noon but it is worth the try.
I wish I can rid the whole weekend but I am on call on Sunday.
For me the best starting location is Ellenville.
Let me know.

Vital Signs Chart: Consumer Confidence Holds Up
Americans feel better about the economy. The Conference Board's confidence index rose for the third consecutive month to 73.7 in November, its highest level since February 2008. Despite the effects of superstorm Sandy and worries about the looming "fiscal cliff" of spending cuts and tax increases, expectations for future economic conditions improved. Consumers also grew more positive about getting jobs and buying homes.

Alternative Probation Strategies in Baltimore, Maryland (ICPSR 8355)
Principal Investigator(s): Collins, James J.
The purpose of this study was to assess the relative cost-effectiveness of supervised probation, unsupervised probation, and community service. Data were collected from several sources: input-intake forms used by the State of Maryland, probation officers' case record files, Maryland state police rap sheets, FBI sources, and interviews with Maryland probationers. Non-violent, less serious offenders who normally received probation sentences of 12 months or less were offered randomly selected assignments to one of three treatment methods over a five-month period. Baseline data for probationers in each of the three samples were drawn from an intake form that was routinely completed for cases. An interim assessment of recidivism was made at the midpoint of the intervention for each probationer using information drawn from police records. Probationers were interviewed six and twelve months after probation ended. Demographic information on the probationers includes sex, race, age, birthplace, marital status, employment status, and education.

So, actually, I've made a rule for myself: my wishlist can't go over 50, so I have only the 50 most wished figures there, and I can only add to it something if I buy one wished figure or delete something else from the list. But it has already happened to me a few times, that I had 49 or so figures in the wishlist, and couldn't remember any of the figures I wanted to add if I could. So now I'll make a list to follow those figures, it'll be easier to choose. :D

Senior Citizen Pleads Guilty to Having Drunk Sex in the Backseat of a Car
Remember 71-year-old Rita Daniels and her 54-year-old boytoy Tim Adams, who were busted by the cops for having boozy sex in the backseat of her car? Well, they pleaded no contest and were sentenced today.
Daniels was fined $585 for disorderly intoxication at a courthouse in Michigan. Her man copped to the same charge, got a year of probation, 50 hours of community service, and a $785 fine. Wow, he certainly got the book throw at him. Maybe it's because when officers caught him and asked what he was doing he said, "I"m fucking this chick." Yeah, that had to be it. We hope they celebrated their freedom together in the parking lot.

Ahead of Wednesdays press conference, Tom Anselmi gave Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo the heads up there would be a second house cleaning in as many days at an MLSE franchise.
I was surprised, but I think I was surprised in the same way everybody else was surprised, the same way Dave Nonis and Brian Burke were surprised, Colangelo said before Wednesday nights game against Philadelphia.
When they start clearing out cubicles at any business, a tremor goes through the herd.
If Colangelos worried about showing up at the office to find his desktop photos piled in a cardboard box, it doesnt show. He was stretched out courtside during pre-game, shaking hands, looking as relaxed as a new hire.
Ive learned you can never operate out of fear, Colangelo said. I am unaffected by this.
His team added the punctuation, wrestling the somnambulant 76ers into submission in a 90-72 game. It was unwatchable stuff. Coming when there is unprecedented corporate interest in the product, all that mattered was the win.
Clearly, the suits who just got their hooks into this billion-dollar enterprise have begun asserting themselves. Meetings are being taken. Decisions are being made. None of those decisions both sins of action and omission make any sense.
You dont hire a guy whos still working at another construction site to build you a house, a la Ryan Nelsen, the new absentee coach not really overseeing Toronto FC.
And you dont fire the chef 10minutes before dinner service, a la Burke.
A cabal of one per centers behaving like frustrated fans is now running the biggest sports empire in Canada. The only difference between them and you is a) tax bracket and b) you probably have more sense.
As bad as their calls have been to this point, lumping Colangelo into the sacking frenzy would be worse still.
Having kept faith with him this far, and given the emergence of Jonas Valanciunas, DeMar DeRozan, Terrence Ross and Ed Davis this year, this string must be played out in order to be reasonably evaluated.
Yes, I can hear you screaming from here.
Please let Andrea Bargnani drift from your thoughts at this point. Hes drifted from everyone elses at the ACC. You cant put broken merchandise in the shop window. If you want to blame something for that, blame the floor at Portlands Rose Garden.
Even accepting the permanent angst over Bargnani, common sense still dictates Colangelo should not be let go.
More to the point, he will not be. Certainly not yet.
The GM meets with the MLSE board three times a year. The key meeting comes in June, when he lays out his plan for the coming year. For what theyre worth, promises are made. Budgets are set.
Aside from exceeding his financial limits or replacing a head coach, Colangelo is empowered to independently make all basketball decisions after that point.
He meets with them again in October, to provide an update before the beginning of camp.
The last meeting comes in February, a mid-season check-in. That one is still weeks away.
Its not the scheduled meetings that worry anyone. Its the impromptu ones.
Colangelo ran his gauntlet through the board in mid-December, called up after a wretched start to the year to revisit the vision. The clubs sober second thinker, Wayne Embry, was called in from Arizona to attend. It was a Make us believe moment.
And Colangelo is still here.
He received another gesture of public support whatever those are worth these days from the boards point man, Anselmi, Wednesday.
Bryan and his team are also in the midst of a building process, Anselmi told the audience at Burkes auto da fe. As long as we continue to see progress, thats what we want in the process.
Colangelo is in the last year of his three-year deal, with a team option for a further year in 2013-14. Thats still up in the air.
Ive never brought up my situation (to ownership). Its never been brought up to me, Colangelo said, shrugging.
Whats the promise going forward? Colangelo isnt offering one.
A successful year would be making sure we take another step forward in the process of building a basketball team.
The opaque nature of that statement gives you some idea why Bryan Colangelo has a job, and why Brian Burke is looking for one.
They like saying sports is a results business. Thats not true. Theres no business that has a higher tolerance for failure. What it is, is a messaging business. Colangelos signal talent as an executive is the ability to explain what hes doing in a way that makes sense.
Out in the real world, where results actually matter, they wait to see how somethings turned out before they decide whether it works or not.
If it made sense to trust Colangelo to begin a three-year plan, it makes sense to let him get through all three years of it. April is the time for evaluations.
Thats how Colangelo explained it. Thats what MLSEs Star Chamber is going to allow him to do.
We were one for three, the board will be saying to itself in a little bit. Maybe if we owned a baseball team ...

Results 11 to 20 of 30
After rereading your posts, I do not see mentioned whether you are thinking sealed or ported enclosure. Most subs either lean one way or the other, with a few falling in the middle. I would decide on the enclosure type, then go with the sub that is best suited for that enclosure type. The enclosure location will come into play now. The boat may dictate to some degree, which way you can go.
Just trying to offer Eric some application advice, independent of brand, before he puts forth all the effort and makes a mistake. Mike is right in that the brand is irrelevant if the execution is poor.
I've also been to plenty of open/outdoor concerts, with elevated stages, and no amphitheater, and the bass was awful away from the stage regardless of the number of woofer cabinets.....despite the best efforts of the sound engineers. They can only take what the venue gives them. And that scenario actually has benefits that a pontoon would never have.
If you are placing four subs overhead for the sole benefit of those on the upper deck or on the lower deck it would be passable, but if your expectations are to generate bass away from the pontoon you are going to be sorely disappointed proceeding this way.
Ever heard the exile big 12 Eric? It won't disappoint you either. Just throwing it out there.-Jake
^^^^ talk about going off topic and an unrelated plug.
IMO, the Exile BIG 12 is just an okay woofer for what you pay after discount. But there is nothing unique about it. Made in a N. Calif. build house that designs and makes many other brands. Nothing proprietary about the parts other than the Exile dustcap. Some of the specs are useless like peak to peak Xmax (who cares what the maximum uncontrolled excursion is).
Paper cone. Very high resonance for a sound quality sub (absolutely trades off low frequency extension for more peak output over a narrower bandwidth). A 3-inch 4-layer voice coil is going to be hungry so don't expect this sub to rock until you put a ton of power on it. So when you combine this woofer cost with the required amplifier, this will be a long way from bass on a budget.
if you look at the op thread, he wants to add 2 on top and 2 on the bottom. I would think any of the 12's mentioned would add some bass to the system for just chillin on the lake. I put a kenwood 10 in a box on my sis tooner that came out of my old supra and it does a decent job of providing some bass, but like david mentioned, it can't be heard 100yards away. not the goal tho and I'm sure it's not the goal of the op.
at the prices mentioned, I'd pull the plug and play around with them. heck, if the 2 on top do no good, sell them on cl and recoup 75% of your $150 outlay
he did mention that jl is out of the price range for his intended application and so would exile-should leave it at that'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten
Thanks sandm. A reasonable voice.
Originally I was trying to offer Eric some advice with a degree of substantiation but without getting too technical. There is much more here than just 'boundary loading' or other regurgitated stuff that someone read on the net.
Think this through. This is real. There will be a test.
The speed of sound is 1128 feet per second. So let's say we gladly sacrifice all really deep base knowing we are in an open field environment without reinforcing planes. But if we are running a party barge with four 12s we at minimum expect some good Michael Jackson Thriller type bass. Good ole punchy bass. So let's focus on 55 Hz. You are not going to get deeper bass anyway in this situation. Okay, that constitutes a 21 foot long waveform. At half that length (10.5 ft.) when the perception point (your ears) is close to one group of woofers then the output of the two woofer groups are out of phase and directly cancel one another. The cancellation is not as steep on either side of the 55 Hz frequency but the negative impact is still impactful. Does that 10.5 ft. distance sound somewhat coincidental to the distance between the upper and lower decks? Then compound that with the comb filter (cancellations) effects of the water plane and various points of perception. All variables and 90 percent of them are bad. Again, reflected energy out of phase with the direct energy at a given point of perception. The woofers and driving amplifiers will work against a huge acoustic handicap over their entire range where you expect a contribution. Soooo, I recommend a single and collected woofer position as close to the water level as possible (lower deck). Make a controlled compromise. Change the design model a bit and you will be far happier in the end. Seems simple enough to me.
It was a joke to the OP no need to rip me or Exile David! Sorry you felt the need to rip me, I'll pray for you. Thanks.-Jake
Wow! didn't mean to for anyone to get any feathers ruffled, MLA and David both gave me some great guidance with picking out my Moomba's amps, HU and help design my sub-enclosure (which I will finally finish covering this week!) and it sounds great!!
That's why I posted my question for our pontoon boat as I want to get the stereo installed before this next season (April?) and thought that at those rediculously low prices compared to the JL W6s I would just get four - but I am NOT an audio engineer by any means and that is why I do listen to others' input. I am a structural engineer who grew up as a carpenter and I can build (and take apart) anything.
So let's actually get this design started, since I am starting with a blank sheet as I have, well nothing! No amp, no HU, no speakers, no idea what I am doing...
The boat is currently getting repowered (a new 150 4-stroke California friendly Merc) and we are going to replace the front soft canvas cover with a hard deck for more room up top. We can easily have 15 teenagers on a trip.
Anyway throw me some suggestions...
- Go with one JL W6 in a ported enclosure?
- Use 2 or 4 of the Sonix cheapies?
- Keep the enclosure on just the lower deck?
- Bolt the enclosure to the bottom of the upper deck?
- 2 subs next to each other under a seat on the bottom deck?
- Go get some Pork to throw in the WFO (wood fired oven)? (in the backyard not on the boat)
And yes, I have fixed the windshield on the Moomba since that pic was taken!
Thanks, and I look forward to your guy's input, Eric.
Now I've lost interest.
Just kidding. I couldn't stop myself.
It has to begin with the supply.
How about starting with the available amperage supply of the outboard motor alternator/stator.
Considered a Gen? How long will this pontoon be playing in the course of a day?

CUNA Suggests Corker-Warner Bill Changes
Bill Hampel, senior vice president and chief economist at CUNA, told Congress on Tuesday that his trade group supports the Corker-Warner bill's general approach to housing finance reform but he suggested several areas in need of improvement.
"CUNA believes the general approach to housing finance reform embodied in S.1217 to be very well thought out and sound public policy," Hampel told the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs during a hearing on housing finance reform and protecting small lender access to the secondary mortgage market.
"S. 1217 corrects the fatal design flaws of the previous system, while maintaining the effective aspects of that system to create a structure designed to serve borrowers and lenders of all sizes well, preserving a backup government guarantee with sufficient protections that risk to the taxpayer is reduced to nearly zero," the CUNA economist added in his written testimony.
Also Read: Housing Reform Must Include Government Guarantee
The Housing Finance Reform and Taxpayer Protection Act of 2013 would phase out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It would also replace the Federal Housing Finance Agency with the Federal Mortgage Insurance Corporation, which would provide insurance on certain mortgage backed securities and regulate the secondary mortgage market.
In addition, the bill would create a mutual securitization company to help small lenders access the secondary market.
Hampel suggested some improvements to the bill specific to credit unions.
"We believe that credit unions may need additional investment authority in order to capitalize their share of the mutual envisioned by S. 1217, and we encourage the Committee to provide that authority," he said.
"We encourage the committee to include language that would amend the Federal Credit Union Act to consider loans made on 1-4 family residential properties as residential loans as is currently the case for commercial banks," Hampel told the Senate panel.
In addition, Hampel encouraged the senators to support a delay of the compliance deadlines for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's new mortgage rules.
"Largely due to concerns with vendor readiness – a one-year extension of January's compliance deadlines for CFPB's new mortgage rules would be optimal," he said.
Hampel also said the secondary market needs strong oversight.
"We envision a regulator in the mold of the NCUA or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, with direct examination and supervisory authority, given that the full faith and credit of the United States stands behind FMIC insurance, as it does with NCUA or FDIC insurance," said his written testimony.
"The entities providing secondary market services must be subject to appropriate supervisory oversight to ensure safety and soundness, for example by ensuring accountability, effective corporate governance and preventing future fraud. They should also be subjected to strong capital requirements and have flexibility to operate well and develop new programs in response to marketplace demands," he added.
John Harwell, associate vice president of risk management at the $1.8 billion Apple FCU in Fairfax, Va. testified at the hearing on behalf of NAFCU.
Both Harwell and Hampel told the committee they support the creation of a mutual. Hampel recommended that the bill not place a cap on membership in the mutual.
"S. 1217 would cap membership in the mutual to institutions with less than $15 billion in assets. We believe that this cap is far too low, and would suggest that lenders of almost any size should be able to use the mutual, so long as they do not themselves issue covered securities," he said in his written testimony.
"Restricting the mutual to serving just smaller lenders would preclude achieving necessary scale economies. Indeed, it would be desirable for the mutual to be among the largest if not the largest issuer of covered securities," he added.

use any::feature 'say';
from __future__ import with_statement
If you want to use this both on perl 5.8.x and on perl 5.10, then you have to install any::feature [cpan.org] on 5.10.
Wouldn't it be nicer to backport feature [cpan.org] to 5.8, thus: rename any::feature [cpan.org] to feature [cpan.org], and make it only installable on 5.8? (Not sure how the latter would work)
I'm not saying this is the best solution, but it's the solution I like better, among the options that I see.
I thought about that, but somehow it feels wrong to stomp on someone else's namespace; especially it's not clear what would happen if someone on 5.10 (or later) would use "install feature" in the CPAN shell...
Can't you deal with this by looking at $] in your Makefile.PL?

I'm going to be thrilled to see the juggernaught of creativity come game one from the Jets we are going to explode.
I'm going to be thrilled to see the juggernaught of creativity come game one from the Jets we are going to explode.
Behind this OL, Tebow needs to be the starter. Sanchez will get injured. It will happen. Hunter is putrid and Sanchez NEEDS a top flight OL to win. Tebow won't win a championship with what we have either, but at least he can throw some people off and make some moves and razzle dazzle them or something. Who knows. We're probably arguing between 6-10 and 8-8, but whatever.
The lack of offensive talent is really horrible. As of right now we have
Avg to below avg Qb who might be shell shocked to boot
Avg to below avg RB who is slow as crap and cant break anything more then 10 yards
Below Avg offensive line and its getting worse
Horrible Receivers that most people outside of us Jets fan can even name other then Mr Prick Santonio Holmes.
Honestly we are doomed.
Patrick Turner and Jordan White were the starting receivers.
I also hope that you realize that you're saying that you WANT Sanchez to force the ball to a specific receiver.

Company E: 3rd Company E - Henry County Alabama men - Irwin Invincibles, subsequently called Henry Light Infantry - This company was organized in Henry County, Alabama. It was successively designated 3rd Company E, and 2nd Company K of the 25th Georgia Infantry. In December 1861, this company was ordered from Virginia to Georgia by the secretary of war. It arrived in Georgia on January 12, 1862, and went into camp near Savannah, Georgia. It was assigned to the 25th Regiment Georgia Infantry on May 2, 1862. A many of the members of Companies E, and K, were transferred to form 2nd Company I, , which became 2nd Company A, 60th Regiment Georgia Infantry on February 28/March 1, 1863, and Company K, 61st Regiment Alabama Infantry on April 11, 1864. This company appears to have ceased to exist May 2, 1862, but a number of the members are accounted for at later dates. Commands to which they were transferred were not always found..
