It is hot; obscenely hot. Suddenly, Bruce Springsteen's voice blasts through the crackling heat, singing "Born in the USA." It wakes the teenage boy. The first thing he sees when he opens his eyes is a picture of his little sister. For a moment, he is back in Nashville, waking up hungry for one of his mom's famous Sunday breakfasts. Only something isn't right. Where are those wonderful smells of coffee brewing and hash browns frying? And why is it still dark outside? As his eyes adjust, he remembers: he is not at home in his bed; he is in his barracks in Afghanistan. It is midnight, and his platoon is getting ready for a mission. When he opens his footlocker, a family photo reminds him to e-mail his sister: her interview for West Point is tomorrow. Tennessee seems light years away as the young private spends his days and nights defending our nation. Forty-eight hours later, two soldiers knock on the front door of a yellow house in Nashville. When the tall, blonde woman opens the door and sees the uniforms, she crumples to the ground, knowing, before a word is uttered, that her son is dead. This soldier was the boy next door, the boy who delivered your newspapers, the young man who cut your lawn. This fallen soldier proves that my generation is already playing a major role in America's future. His unselfish sacrifice is a mirror of the best of my generation.
I want to remind everyone, that while I stand before you and deliver this speech, my generation is in Iraq and Afghanistan, boots on the ground, fighting a war that will determine America's future. The news footage from Afghanistan is the Reality TV show that represents my generation; not Jersey Shore, not the Kardashians. Young Americans are fighting and dying on the battlefield, coming home to be fitted for artificial limbs, in order to defend democracy and our way of life. It is this generation of selfless young men and women that are playing a major role in America's future. That is why my generation will not allow ourselves to be defined by the media as selfish, spoiled young adults.

While we loved the Quinny Yezz umbrella stroller, we were not that impressed with the Quinny Buzz Xtra that failed to score above average in any metric. This stroller looks like many of the newer products on the market, but somehow it fails to bring all the same convenience and ease of use to the table that we found in some of the competition. This stroller is a below average stroller for an above average price. We had higher hopes for this product than it managed to offer in our tests, given our love of the Yezz. We feel this stroller is not one that most parents will like as there are options that scored higher and cost less.
Quinny Buzz Xtra Review
Pros: Easy to use brakes, one hand unfold
Cons: Hard to use features, heavy and hard to lift
Manufacturer: Quinny
The Skinny
Compare to Similar Products
Our Analysis and Test Results
The Quinny® Buzz™ Xtra claims to be a rugged all-terrain stroller that professes to work in the city, as well as off road. It is designed with never flat, foam filled tires, locking front swivel wheels, and an adjustable handlebar. The Buzz Xtra automatically unfolds with one button push with a hydraulic system using gas springs. It offers a height adjustable canopy with a visor for additional coverage and a storage basket that holds 11 pounds of supplies. The seat can work for babies who sit independently to around 50 pounds, and it is liquid repellent so spills wipe clean. The seat can be used forward or rear-facing with only 2 positions for recline in both modes.
Performance Comparison
The comparison chart shown below shows the overall scores for each stroller tested in this review. The Quinny Buzz Xtra is shown in blue.
The sections below offer detailed information on how the Buzz performed during our tests for each metric. The individual metric performance scores were used to calculate the overall score.
Ease of Use
The Buzz Xtra scored a 3 of 10 for ease of use, which is the lowest score in the group. The high in our tests is the UPPAbaby Vista and the UPPAbaby Cruz that both earned 8s in this metric.
The Quinny has a medium sized under seat storage bin that can hold up to 11 pounds. This bin is accessible from the side and the front, but the not the back which is arguably one of the easiest locations for parents to use. The storage basket height is low thanks to a frame bar that runs across the center of the basket. We had difficulty fitting a small sized diaper bag in the bottom and there was no chance of fitting a standard sized bag or larger. Ease of access is only average on this stroller and we didn't like it as much as the competition. There is no additional storage on this stroller, so parents might struggle with being able to bring enough supplies with a baby on a full day's adventure.
The photos above show the Quinny with an open and closed canopy.
The sunshade on the Buzz is only medium in size and it doesn't list its SPF. It does not offer a peek-a-boo window, but it does have some ventilation. It earned the second lowest score in the group for sunshades with only the Baby Trend Expedition coming in with a lower score.
The Quinny doesn't offer a lot in the way of conveniences; it is missing a parent console and cup holders that many strollers have standard. It has an accessory tray you can purchase, but it would be nice if it offered some kind of pocket for cell phones or keys, but as it is this stroller is a relatively bare-bones option. The Quinny does come with some car seat adapters for some of the major car seat manufacturers.
The Quinny has a padded leg rest with a wide plastic footrest and both are adjustable. The seat back reclines and is about average for difficulty thanks to two separate recline buttons that must be pressed at the same time. We think some parents might have difficulty adjusting the recline from behind when the canopy is folded the seat back doesn't easily fit through the frame to recline.
The Quinny earned a 5 of 10 for maneuverability. The high for this metric is a 9 earned by the BOB Revolution.
One of the nicest features any stroller can offer is good maneuverability and ease of pushing. The Quinny didn't really bring the goods to the table in our tests. This stroller is harder to stop turning making it feel a little like a runaway train. Its smaller footprint does make it easier to get around in smaller spaces, but the frame flexes somewhat when you push it making the Quinny about the middle of the road compared to the competition.
This stroller is hard to push with one hand and even with two hands it is not easy to turn quickly, but the shorter wheelbase does make it somewhat easier to turn sharply. It fits through smaller spaces that some of the competition struggled with, but that isn't enough of a good thing to make up for the struggle we had turning it and moving it across various terrain. This doesn't say much for the claim that this is an all-terrain stroller. We had increased difficulty on plush carpet that indicates that a trail or gravel road might be too difficult to bother with.
For turning off harder flat surfaces onto rougher terrain, the Quinny had some difficulty in our tests. It rolls relatively well, but it will take a little more strength and the double front wheels catch on gravel so badly that we almost tipped the stroller over more than once during testing. But it did perform better in our tests on curbs than most of the competition. This is the one test that helped bump up its overall score to almost average; without this ability, the overall score would have been lower.
The Quinny scored a 6 of 10 for quality; its highest score in any metric we tested. However, this score is still lower than average with several other strollers scoring higher and only 6 out of the 19 we looked at scoring lower. Several strollers earned a tie score with the Xtra, but the BOB Revolution Flex and the UPPAbaby Cruz both earned 8s.
The Buzz has some of the softest fabric in the group made better with its ability to repel water that practically wipes clean with a wet cloth. The fabric feels gentle on skin. The canopy, crotch pad, and shoulder pads are all made from a rougher canvas fabric that seems a little more sturdy than the seat fabric. The storage basket is made from the same rougher canvas and the footrest is a piece of hard plastic. All seem relatively durable and well constructed.
The frame on the Xtra looks like a quality piece at first blush, but it has far too much movement and rattle when in use, making it clear that it probably has too many junction points. The fabric does fit the frame nicely, but it would have been nice to see a higher quality frame with less give and noise.
This stroller has plastic foam filled wheels that can never go flat but fail to really impress. They look nice, but this kind of wheel isn't the best for all-terrain travel further calling into question the claim Quinny is making that this stroller is great for all surfaces. Pneumatic air-filled rubber tires are by far the better option for a smooth ride on rough surfaces. So while you won't need to worry about getting a flat tire, the wheels aren't the best quality and their performance reflects that.
Thanks in part to a frumpy looking canopy and a convoluted frame that seems over the top to some testers, this product is somewhat reminiscent of a red marshmallow in its overall fit and finish. While it certainly isn't the most disappointing in the bunch, and with a cursory glance it seems similar to others in the competition, with a closer look it's disappointing for the price range.
The Quinny offers fairly nice suspension on all 4 wheels and it has a nicely padded seat that combined seem to provide a pretty comfortable riding experience. The larger rear wheels also help create a nicer ride overall, but we think the experience overall would still be improved with rubber tires.
The Quinny earned a 5 of 10 for safety with only the Baby Jogger City Mini GT earning a lower score. The high in this metric is the Baby Jogger City Select with an 8.
The Quinny has single action brakes that are easy to set and release, and are sandal foot friendly. The brakes are stiffer to set than some of the competition, but they are sturdy and we knew exactly when they were set, parents will feel confident the brakes are set after applied.
The Quinny has a 5 point harness that is more difficult to adjust than a lot of the competition we tested, equally so for putting on and taking off. The harness itself is difficult to adjust and the shoulder straps are sewn in place and not adjustable at all. It lacks a crotch strap so parents won't have to worry about this, but they also might not be able to get the best fit for baby given the limitation of the number of adjustments that can be made in both the crotch placement or the shoulder height.
The Quinny also has a buckle that is harder to use than most. The buckle is a nesting one that requires the two sides to be put together before inserting in the buckle. It isn't always easy to accomplish and we suspect even harder with a squirming baby inside. The buckle release button is pretty stiff as well and some parents might have trouble operating it with one hand.
Weight and Folded Size
The Buzz Xtra weighs about 28 pounds 7 ounces which is less than the manufacturer claims (a rarity in our experience). The lightest is the Britax B-Agile 3 and the Baby Jogger City Mini, with both weighing about 17.5 pounds. So while this stroller isn't the heaviest in the group, it is heavier than some of the better scoring products and it might be too heavy for some parents to lift and tuck into a car trunk.
The folded size of this stroller is also not that impressive. Measured it is over 17,100 cubic inches and 25"W x 17.6"H x 39"L. So the combined size and weight of this stroller make it a difficult option if your plan is to commute around town for the day.
The Quinny is not a one-handed fold, nor does it self-stand or offer a carry strap, which is really a shame given the larger size. It does have an auto-lock feature which is nice, but not enough to make up for the rest. There are 2 steps to folding the Quinny, which isn't as much as some, but still more than others. First, you slide the frame release buttons on either side of the handlebar and then press down on the handlebar, which causes the stroller to fold in on itself towards the ground. Folding is easy but not as nice as those that only require one hand and do not require bending over. The unfold is a one-handed operation that requires only 2 steps to achieve and is very easy.
Ease of Setup
The Buzz earned a 4 of 10 for ease of setup. It took us over 11 minutes to get the stroller out of the box and ready to use. The documentation that comes with the stroller is only about average, and we had trouble following them. This stroller took longer to put together than we thought it would by the parts and instructions.
Car Seat Compatibility
Parents can purchase an additional car seat adapter frame that works with Safety 1st Onboard series, Maxi-Cosi Cosi35, Graco Snugride 22, Graco Snugride 32, Graco Snugride 35, Chicco Keyfit 22, Keyfit 30, Combi Shuttle 33, Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 30-30, and the Britax Chaperone. The adapters are not compatible with Safety 1st onboard 22 or Graco Snugride Click Connect car seats.
Chicco Keyfit 30. Connecting the seat to the adapter is easy, but we had trouble getting it installed completely each time. If the car seat is tipped too far back when you install it, it sounds like it is clicking in, but it really isn't. We suggest paying close attention, going slow, and double checking by tugging firmly on the infant seat to ensure a strong attachment. Once again you will need to be careful of your fingers as they can get caught in the adapter as you remove the seat. An injury is a real possibility with the adaptors for this stroller. This seat feels about as unstable as the Maxi and we weren't impressed with either option.
Best Applications
We think that the performance of the Quinny in our tests indicates there is probably not a best application for this stroller. While it looks good lined up next to the competition it doesn't offer enough to merit the larger price tag and its pushing problems had us reaching for other options. While it does offer a certain diversity for seating arrangements with the ability to rotate the seat to face the parent, it isn't enough to make up for the heavyweight, large size, and smaller hard to access storage basket, not to mention other products offer this as well.
With a price tag of $600 on average, this stroller is neither the most expensive or cheapest thing we looked at, but it is more than some of the competition that scored higher and offered more. The Editors' Choice BOB Revolution Flex is almost $200 dollars cheaper and truly is an all-terrain stroller with adjustable suspension, rubber air-filled tires, and larger easy to access storage. There is also the Britax B-Agile 3 a Best Value winner that is significantly cheaper ($230 less) and much higher scoring (18 points) with similar design features as the Quinny but executed better overall.
Other Versions and Accessories
Quinny makes several other strollers including the Yezz previously mentioned. We did not review any other stroller in their lineup so it is difficult to say if they would be more impressive than the Buzz. These strollers appear to be fairly innovative in design and certainly have us wondering if there is another product in the bunch we might love just as much as the Yezz.
Additional accessories sold separately that can be used with this Quinny include Multi-Model Adapter, WeatherShield, Cup Holder, Parasol, Travel Bag, Storage Box, and Footmuff.

Phil Robertson spoke out personally on Sunday for the first time since his controversial comments on homosexuality were made public last week and a bunch of people that had never heard of Duck Dynasty before flipped a lid about it.
In case you somehow missed it because you live under a rock or perhaps were in a coma, the patriarch of one of TV's most popular reality shows ever paraphrased some scripture in which he said that homosexuality is a sin and that blacks could find happiness in Jesus, even under Jim Crow laws.
Then A&E, the network that runs Duck Dynasty, basically fired Phil. Then folks like Sarah Palin and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said that was way uncool, because Phil has a right to his beliefs. Then of course liberals got upset because they thought these people were saying that A&E didn't have a right to fire him.
Of course A&E has the right to act stupidly. Geesh. Doesn't mean they did the right thing.
Anyway, it's been crazy to see the support rolling in for Phil and the whole Robertson crew. When Cracker Barrel said they were going to stop selling the show's merchandise, backlash against the restaurant was swift. Within two days, the company reversed its decision.
"Our intent was to avoid offending, but that's just what we've done," the company announced. "Today, we are putting all our Duck Dynasty products back in our stores ... you told us we made a mistake, and you weren't shy about it."
More from The Stir: Sarah Palin Defends Phil Robertson's Right to Free Speech & So Should We All
On Saturday, Entertainment Weekly claimed that Phil will be continuing on the show when filming resumes in January. The source said, "The network also hopes the media and fan furor will cool down over the holidays and that tensions over shooting future episodes can then be resolved. There's no negotiation to have; we're doing the show."
On Sunday Phil spoke publicly for the first time since the family as a whole put out a press release late last Thursday. He led a Bible study at the church where his eldest son Alan preaches and where it's clear the vast majority of parishioners supports him.
When someone thanked him for his comments, he said, "I didn't think much of it at all, but it seems a lot of other people did."
He also said, "I have been immoral, drunk, high. I ran with the wicked people for 28 years and I have run with the Jesus people since and the contrast is astounding ... I tell people, 'You are a sinner, we all are. Do you want to hear my story before I give you the bottom line on your story?'"
And of course he reiterated that while he does still believe homosexuality to be a sexual sin, he really cares more about people knowing Jesus than whom they want to sleep with.
"I have made hundreds and hundreds of speeches and you can pick them apart and the center has always been Jesus Christ," he said. "Do many people get up and walk out? Yeah, all the time, do I hold it against them? No. Anybody can get up and stop listening. We are all just humans on this planet."
He also noted, "I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater."
Do you support Phil Robertson?

Personal watercraft (PWC) are now permitted to operate within the lakeshore's one-quarter mile water boundary on Lake Superior from the western boundary near Sand Point to the east end of Miners Beach. PWC may be launched from the designated boat ramp at Sand Point. PWC users may beach their craft on Sand Point and Miners Beaches.
In compliance with the State of Michigan's Personal Watercraft Safety Act of 1998 (Public Act 116), personal watercraft may not operate within 200 feet of the shoreline unless traveling perpendicular to the shoreline at no-wake speed.
Personal watercraft will not be allowed to launch or operate at any other location within Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
The second regulation change requires that only electric outboard motors may be used on Little Beaver and Beaver Lakes. Gasoline outboard motors are no longer permitted.

Soft Subtitled: Incredibles 2
Discovery family Film Club
Pixar's classic The Incredibles needs no introduction, and now, after 14 long years, the sequel is finally here! With original writer/director Brad Bird leading the way, the Parr family return to our screens as they once again balance family squabbles with saving the world.
Picking up immediately where the first film left off, Incredibles 2 opens with the super-powered family being attacked by the villainous Underminer. The family is soon approached by Winston Deavour (Bob Odenkirk) who wants to boost the public profile of superheroes. He has a proposition for Helen and asks her to take up her old superhero alias Elastigirl once again. For Bob, aka Mr Incredible, this means staying at home to look after the kids, a task he soon realises requires its own set of super powers, especially when the youngest child, Jack-Jack, has a tendency to teleport and transform into a monster. As Elastigirl is out fighting crime, Bob must deal with the most heinous supervillain of them all: maths homework.
The original Incredibles succeeded in combining a funny, heart-felt adventure for all ages with a smart look at family dynamics, and this film once again explores these ideas. The return of such well-loved characters as the Parr family is always welcome, and even Bob's pal Frozone and the hilarious fashion designer Edna Mode (played by Brad Bird himself) are getting back in on the action. With that distinctive 60s aesthetic, snappy score and gorgeous animation, this is sure to be a super-powered treat for fans new and old. Just remember, no capes!

While the February bar exam may seem eons a way, the time passes quickly and you will be better prepared and no longer suffering from the fear of the unknown. Although a minor setback, failing the bar exam won't completely derail your legal career, just look at Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo and former BigLaw associate Michelle Obama. It's just six months.

You won't psych yourself into panic mode or paralyze yourself with fear, giving yourself a better chance at passing. Take a deep breath and type those essays. Keep it together, think rationally and give it your best shot. You can do this, you can pass.

Respect one another. Debates are great, but attacks are not. Please refrain from posting offensive, obscene, threatening or abusive comments.

In addition, in some cases, if a post is still too vulgar, a moderator may later remove or edit it.
Please note that comments may be edited by the moderator for any reason, including but not limited to language.

Apple's new MacBook Pro with Retina Display is an amazing machine with an astronomical price tag to match. If the new portable workstation feels a bit out of your budget, you may want to check out Best Buy's Apple page. Head there and you'll find the entry model of the new MBP $140 cheaper than its retail price. Best Buy is also taking $50 off the price of the low-end MacBook Airs. Not as good as a student discount from Apple, but better than paying full price.

Sometimes all we need is a simple "Thank You" to express our gratitude. Nothing fancy or over the top. I think I managed that quite nicely with this quick card.
I simply cut my card front on my Stampin' Up! Trimmer. I stamped a Calypso Coral card in the same colour ink using the Six Sided Sampler stamp set and adhered this piece behind the cut card front. I also coloured the two Basic Rhinestones you see on either side of the sentiment with a permanent marker to match my Calypso Coral card piece. My sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso ink using the Sassy Salutations stamp set.

in Concert
Mimi's live act was a combination of her own songs, Richard Fari±a's songs, and
songs by contemporary singer-songwriters, many of whom were friends of hers.
Less frequently she sang traditional folksongs. Many people will be surprised to
find that Mimi had a large repertoire of original songs that were never officially
released on album. The songs listed below were compiled from fans' setlists and memories,
published reviews of her shows, and bootlegs.
Despite her ambition to establish a reputation on her own, Mimi never really
enjoyed performing solo. She often spoke of the loneliness of the touring
musician, and very often employed at least one back-up musician or sought a
partner. Aside from Richard Fari±a, Tom Jans, and Joan Baez, some of Mimi's
co-performers were:
Banana - by far her most frequent collaborator; he played guitar, bass and keyboards
on many of her gigs. See Banana's page for more details.
If you have any info, clippings, ads, reviews, or memories to share, please write

PERFORMING PARTNERS and BACK-UP MUSICIANS:
Bill Amatneek - played string bass with Mimi on some of her late 70s-early 80s performances, and was also part of the house band for Bread & Roses' early fundraisers.
Carol McComb - most famous for her duet with Kathy Larisch as Kathy & Carol, McComb toured with Mimi in the early 70s. People who saw Mimi and Carol together recall that they sounded incredible together. Carol McComb has recorded several solo albums.
Julie Payne - was another member of The Committee. They can be seen very briefly (too briefly, alas) performing "Tears of Fire" in the film Celebration at Big Sur. They toured together, then Julie embarked on her acting career.
Richard Greene - formerly of Seatrain. Backed up Mimi circa 1977.
Martine Habib - also sang with Mimi in the early 70s. She recorded one solo album, and her voice was sometimes compared to Joan Baez.
Hoyt Axton - a good friend of Mimi; they often performed together in the 70s.
John Guth - frequently accompanied Mimi on second guitar on her east coast gigs in the eighties.

The first time through I was 30 when my son was born, and THEN I was one of the older moms in my rural playgroups circles. I was alone in a new town (my mother had passed away a few years before), with an absentee ex-husband, and only The Baby Whisperer to guide me, unless I attended the Better Beginnings meetings and playgroups.
I have done great - a working, single mom for most of my parenting life so-far - my son has made it to 10 and 3/4 without any major scars. R has a manageable education barrier (his hand writing is terrible - identified as a learning disability), but he is super-bright about all things Greek history, and has exactly the right amount of fear.
A new bundle is due in the coming weeks, a new boy, and this time with a engaged, wonderful (first-time) father-to-be.

But she's back to remind us that she's the woman who broke the internet with her naked body and a little childbirth isn't about to change that.
The 35-year-old has posted a full-frontal nude selfie to Instagram to add a dose of filth to our Monday morning.
The picture sees Kim standing starkers in her marble-tiled bathroom with her boobs and bits covered by self-censored black bars.Rocking blonde hair and a pout, Kim captioned the selfie: "When you're like I have nothing to wear LOL."
We struggle to understand how a woman who covered Vogue, is married to a shoe designer and is sister of a supermodel has to replace clothes with nudity, but we'll give her the benefit of the doubt.
Unsurprisingly, the snap racked up over 150,000 likes in less than half an hour, although not all of the responses were positive.

In the past few years, many sailors and sea lovers used Trimaran. This is especially in the case of Victor Tchetchet's Trimaran that is a better and much safer option than any type of a sailboat. So, why do they think so?
What is a Trimaran?
It is a type of boat that comprises of a lot of hulls (watertight body of a boat or a ship). There are basically 2 types of Trimaran; the Open and the Regular Trimaran. On the other hand, these types of Trimaran share the same characteristic. They both have three types of hulls in a Trimaran such as the main hull (Vaka) and the two smaller outrigger hulls (Aka) which function as the float of a boat. This i primarily connected to the Trimaran main hull by means of (Ama) lateral beams.
The use of Trimaran
Some Trimaran is used as a warship and ferries. Yet, Trimaran is mostly a yacht that is driven by sail. This is primarily designed for racing and recreational activities. You can also use a Trimaran for a cruise with your friend or family.
Features of Trimaran
Many boats are great for activities such as fishing and going out in an open sea. But have you ever considered that being out in the ocean or sea is really dangerous. So, the probable solution for this is to take the right and valid information on a boat that you will use.
A Trimaran doesn't need lead ballast just to balance itself. This implies that its specific weight does not reside in the base of any hull. Consequently, each of the 3 hulls of Trimaran holds a number of airtight compartments that provides additional space for storage. This also serves as the main support of the Trimaran. Even if the main hull was damaged badly, the Trimaran will still be steady because of the other hulls.
You can expect to be safe from any forms of danger when you're on a Trimaran. This is because it comprises a wide beam that helps it become stable on the water. The boats don't naturally "heel over" when cruising. Hence, its safety features are demonstrated in the event that your Trimaran turns over.
Comparison to Monohull
Aside from the hull, Trimaran comprises many comparisons to a monohull. A Trimaran holds a less wetted area, a wider beam. Trimaran does not need a weighted keel simply because of wide beam. Unlike a monohull, it usually needs a weighted keel for it to become stable on the water. A trimaran wider beam also maintains its stability in stronger winds. This is able to sail in the shallow part of the water. This also offers an improved straight line performance rather than a monohull.
It is best to take a closer look at the present upgrades of trimaran such as:
Some Trimarans are fabricated to permit them to trail to a dispatch site. Afterwards, they are gathered before propelling. This takes longer than a collapsing framework. However, it is normally lighter and less exorbitant. This can also be utilized for craft with an excess of a pillar for a collapsing framework.
The W17 Trimaran utilizes a number of pivot and lock framework that permits the amas to overlap over the fundamental hull. It is suitable for a craft below 18 feet.
The French organization Astusboats produces a scope of Trimarans through the use of telescopic tubes that associates the floats to the principle hull.
The Dragonfly Trimaran makes use of a horizontal enunciation known as SwingWing. The slight point makes the float folds into smaller, lower piece of the focal hull. Furthermore, it builds its steadiness when in the collapsed position. A comparable horizontal enunciation design is operated as a part of the Seaon 96CRB. This type of structure was initially developed as a part of Ocean Bird design by Westell, John. This is also fabricated by Marine, Honnor.
The Telstar Trimaran employs a one of a kind horizontal folding design of Trimaran. They also use a simple raising pole in order to help in trailer sailing. Furthermore, Telstar Trimaran can be power-driven by an amas extender or can be folded in.
It uses a vertical collapsing mechanism, initially applied on the Trailertri and subsequently on its large portion. All designed boats of Farrier are known as Floats. A whisper additionally employs a vertical collapsing system as Corsair Marine. This operates the vertical collapsing component outlined by Ian Farrier.
What's more? The advantage of Trimaran
There are a lot of pictures of Trimarans scattered on the Internet. These pictures only show a Trimaran drifting upside down while the people on board sit on the inverted Trimaran, just waiting for any rescue to arrive. After seeing these types of incidents, many people usually ask, why does monohull doesn't hold the same incidents as Trimaran does? Actually, there are lesser pictures of a monohull because it usually sinks.
Trimarans are actually lighter. They are less demanding to the jibe and tack. These are a lot better than the sailboats.This higher execution implies in a certain event that a storm comes up while sailing offshore, then Trimaran will have the capacity to get into shore while different boats are as yet battling huge waves farther.
Even at times when you're sailing offshore and suddenly hit something in the water that damages your boat. In the event that the damaged part is the Trimaran's main hull, you don't have to worry. Because even if the main hull is filled up with water your survival is still very high, the Trimaran will just keep floating until rescue arrives.
Surely, if you compare it with a monohull, the chances of survival are minimal. You will have a less option in searching for a rescue. In that particular situation in a monohull, you will definitely be at the bottom of the sea.

Making Waves: Items Needed for the Perfect Beach Day
Allan and I leave for Sayulita, Mexico in 3 days and we are both so excited to be getting away from the daily grind and seeing our old pal, the Sun, again.
We've both learned so much about packing for trips (mainly me, as Allan has always been a better packer) that we've only packed a carry-on bag, each, for our 8 days in Mexico. Gone are the days of paying $75 for an overweight bag at the airport!!
This collage features all the items you need for the perfect day at the beach: The Gnarly Whale's Thai Coconut Beach Waves Salt Spray, a Maaji reversible bikini (any one will do as they are the absolute best bathing suits you will purchase), your favorite sarong, a pair of Sanuk flip-flops (the best ever) and Oscar Blandi's Pronto Dry Shampoo.
I can honestly say there are only three little things missing from this list: One, your favorite book, two, a lip gloss and three, a sunscreen. Place all these items in a beach bag and you are good to go!
What are your must-haves for the perfect day at the beach???
PS - Remember to tune in to the blog on February 2 for Red Lip Gloss' FIRST EVER Blog Sale!

Owning a firearm is a major responsibility and requires significant insurance to go along with that responsibility.
If you own a firearm, it's a good idea to know what kind of coverage is available under the standard home insurance policy. You will need to consider both the personal property and the liability aspects of the policy. The property portion of your policy will cover your firearms if they are stolen or destroyed, whereas the liability coverage applies due to the accidental discharge of a firearm causing injury up to the limits of the policy; typically $100,000 to $500,000.
Like many items that are small, valuable and easily transportable, firearms are subject to a limit. In many cases, the firearm sub-limit is $1,000 – $2,500. If you need more coverage than is normally available on the home insurance, you'll have to look for more specialized coverage. Your options will be to add a "rider" to your existing home policy; or you can purchase a separate, stand-alone policy. Riders are very common for items such as jewelry and antiques. In the case of firearms, you will need to ask your agent just how much coverage you would have. Because of the risk factors associated with firearms, it would be beneficial to purchase an Umbrella policy which provides additional liability protection.
A few tips for firearm storage and safety:
- Store guns safely and securely to prevent unauthorized use.
- Guns and ammunition should be stored separately.
- Use a trigger or cable lock so it can't be fired.
- Store unloaded in a lockable container.
- Don't store firearms where visible.
- Don't store firearms with other valuables such as jewelry or cameras, etc.
- If you have children, be EXTRA vigilant for obvious reasons.
On average, one Minnesotan dies every day by firearms while others suffer injuries. Firearms are the state's second leading cause of traumatic brain injury deaths.

Having been away for my summer holidays I am a little overdue in posting anything on the blog. So today is a bit of a mixed bag but it is all WW2 related.
First of all we have a German 7.5cm Pak 40 Anti Tank Gun from Warlord Games.
Then from Perry Miniatures we have a Kubelwagen recce vehicle.
And last but not least a friend of mine, Dave Green, put me onto some very cheap plastic toy tanks from our local toyshop which at a push are suitable for 28mm. I think these were £3 or £3.99 each, I can't remember but whatever, they are a cheap way of getting some vehicles on the table. So far Dave has only been able to get the Panzer IV's and he said there was a modern tank that they did but I think further enquiries are in hand to see if they do other types.
Some before and after shots with a Warlord Panzer IV on the left.
I know the side panels on the vehicle painted in Panzer Grey is probably not correct for early/mid war but I wanted something with a bit more punch for my early war collection so I am prepared to live with the historical inaccuracy.
I will finish off with a few shots of how the toy tanks fit in with the rest of my 28mm collection and also I wanted to get a picture of those motorcycle combo's that I did a little while back on the work bench.

In the Groove...with Time4Learning
In the groove...
I don't know what has come over this house, but I am loving it. Things seem to be going smoothly and I am not sure why. As some of you may know we homeschool, which is awesome in most aspects. The one downside for us is it can be extremely tough to get the remodel projects done on our farmhouse. Well, I finally broke down and did something. Now I may be jumping the gun on how much I love it and it may be a bit too soon to be singing the praises of it. I signed A up for Time4Learning. I am a major stubborn donkey and obstinate butt and so is A [8 now, gah}. Well lets just say doing school took WAY longer than it should. Also there were a lot of loud voices and tears {on both parties}. I finally just gave up and told myself something had to change.
We have been using it for about a week now and so far there has not but a negative remark about doing school from her, or me. In fact there has even been a couple of days where she is turning the laptop on and doing it as soon as she is getting up...astounding! Our relationship has gotten much better as well.
Time4Learning costs $19.95 a month {you do get a 14 day trial period with 100% money back and each additional kid is $14.95} which okay when you think about it works out to be about the same as curriculum. They grade everything for you and even have scheduling capabilities. If your child is a little behind or ahead on certain subjects you can switch grades up. It is perfect for A since she is such a visual learner. {As we are a Christian family and I am a creationist I do keep an eye on what exactly is being taught.} I love it also because it does read most parts of it to her. She still has a hard time with reading and as soon as she gets comfortable with her and I doing school things together I will bring in a more intense reading time. For now though it has been awesome. What usually would take 4+ hours takes her maybe an hour. All because we fought.
I had an epiphany the other day, I couldn't figure out why the last couple of days seemed to be longer and I was getting more things done. Then it dawned on me. I had not spent those days fighting her to get school done! {Although, part of it may be the book I am reading this month.} Even this weekend, she wanted to do some schoolwork. AMAZING!
If you want to sign up here is referral link, Time4Learning, letting y'all know that I will receive a free month or $25 for each person that signs up and stays on after the 14 day trial period.
