Cal Day is a terrific opportunity to for the little kids in the East Bay community to get a taste of the world class university in our backyard for FREE. There really is something for everyone as UC Berkeley (a.k.a. Cal) opens its doors and gates to families. My husband and big kids have their eyes on auditing another physics class while my little ones want to run around the grounds making slime and looking for doggies and birdies respectively.
Experience it for yourself Saturday April 16, 2016.
Visit the Cal Day planner online. To choose the best demos and classes for your family, you can sort by time, category, or family-friendly. Here are a few activities that stood out for me:
- Pick up your Science@Cal: Passport to Science first. For kids ages 4 to 12, you can get your passport stamped at each of 30 destinations of Cal Day, a great way to guide your day like a scavenger hunt: available 9:00 am-4:00 pm Valley Life Sciences Building, south entrance

I know that's a LOT to take in. And I only named a few dozen activities. You won't get to it all, and that's okay. Work with your child to pick a few events or classes that will best capture her imagination and attention span, then just go for it. See the full schedule of activities. See also tips for your visit.
Off-campus, you will find special discounted and free admission prices at BAMPFA and Lawrence Hall of Science, too.

I'm someone who straddles two cultures that are often mocked by the mainstream media. And sometimes, one even mocks the other.
First, I'm a geek.
Second, I'm also a published romance writer.
When people ask me what my books are like, clearly meaning "oh, those books," I tell them my idea of romance is The Terminator except (spoiler!) Kyle lives at the end.
And like the author of suddenly explosively popular 50 Shades of Grey, I've written an erotica story (Alas, my book isn't on the cover of Entertainment Weekly and movie producers aren't knocking down my door. I know! It's a grave injustice.)
But there's a reason women, especially female geeks, should be paying attention to the inevitable derision engendered by 50 Shades of Grey and the label "mommy porn." Because this is a feminist issue, part of the society in which women's rights are under attack, as detailed in Kay's "Voting Is for the Girls!" post last week.
First, some background. I didn't always think well of romance. Being a girl geek, especially in the generation I grew up, the one right after Title IX, wasn't easy. I liked all things dubbed "boy stuff," from Star Trek to comics to sports. I was a firm tomboy and in reaction to girls who thought I was weird, I took a perverse pride in hating "girly stuff." Anything pink or frilly and especially dresses, bah, I didn't want them.
That included romance stories.
It wasn't until I was an adult that I started reading books primarily shelved in the romance section of the bookstore and that was by accident.
When I started contributing to this blog, I knew I would feel at home, even though I'm a Geek Mom among Geek Dads.
But I've quickly discovered that there are a lot more Geek Moms out there than I thought.
Case in point: this photo was sent to me by Vanessa, a GeekDad reader:
"My daughter recently got into Disney princesses. Then she found my warrior princess action figures. Now she talks about Princess Leia and Xena. I think this is good, at least in geek-land," Vanessa said.
The full post about her three-year-old daughter's love of the new additions to her princess collection is here. Who knew Belle and Aerith could peacefully coexist? And I'm in total envy of her daughter getting to play with Scully and Xena. I'm sure there's a fanfic in there somewhere….
Vanessa said her daughter particularly loves that Aerith rides a giant chicken. Now, if there was only a toy of Wonder Girl riding a giant Kanga. I'd totally buy that for me, er, my youngest daughter.
Sometimes it's hard to find just the right shirt with the right message for your precious little girl, especially when she's a fully capable geek on her own merits, and takes after Buffy or Kim Possible more than Buttercup or Snow White. But the wonderful folks at ThinkGeek are selling this great t-shirt that lets everyone know she may be a damsel in distress, but she's no shrinking violet.
I never knew the source of hardware hacker Ladyada's handle — it's a reference to Ada Lovelace, a 19th century countess with a remarkable affinity for mathematics. Lovelace is credited with having collaborated with Charles Babbage on his Analytical Engine (an early computer) and for helping develop an algorithm whereby the engine could be used to compute Bernoulli numbers. As such, many people call her the first computer programmer, and she's been an inspiration to girls and young women ever since.
Today is Ada Lovelace day, and to honor this proto-nerd, Ladyada of adafruit industries is offering some of her kits for 10% off.
If you know a young woman or girl who just needs that tiny spark to inspire them for a lifetime of science and engineering, fun electronics kits from adafruit industries are a great way to go!
Use the code ladyada when ordering.

From the way too cute file, GeekDad reader Kyle sent this link to a video clip he'd like to share. It shows his one and a half year old daughter, Kathryn, naming off a series of Marvel superheroes (and villains). Kyle says there are currently sixty or so figures in the collection and Kathryn is working toward naming them all. No word on whether the Marvel preference is genetic, although her sister is reportedly a fan of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold animated series, which suggests otherwise. It may be a bit early yet, but I suspect this toddler is in the ideal demographic for Spider-Man & Friends training pants when the time comes…
Here I thought it was impressive that I won a regional science fair at the age of 12. But now comes the story of M.Lavinashree, a girl from the Tamil Nadu state in India, who has passed the Microsoft Certified Professional exam at the age of 9. I first read about this on Engadget last week and was really impressed, but now that I've looked into it a bit further I'm not so sure about it.
First of all, I can't quite tell how old she is: All the various articles about her say she's 9, but the website dedicated to her says she's 8, as does Wikipedia. The video below says she's 9, and appears to be a news report from India, so I'm inclined to believe it. But, the question of her age aside, why do none of the articles about her suggest that she's being pushed too far?
She's obviously a very smart kid, and that's great. But how many kids that age decide to take the MCP exam on their own? And how many families who claim never to force their kids to study put up websites crowing about their kids' achievements the way this kid's family has? Could they repeat the words "child prodigy" a little more often, maybe? Seriously, whether she's 8 or 9, no matter where she comes from, she deserves to be able to be a kid without too much pressure from her family and, possibly, her government.
It doesn't help that this story is being bounced around all over the world. Lavinashree must know that she's become famous, and surely that contributes to the pressure on her to succeed. Here's hoping that she'll ask her family to ease off, and to let her spend some time being a kid—she'll have plenty of time to do all these things when she's older. Being a "child prodigy" isn't always all it's cracked up to be, especially if it involves the word "Microsoft."
As Ken mentioned the other day:
Spacehack is a fantastic new site, billed as "…a directory of ways to participate in space exploration, interact + connect with the space community and encourage citizen science."
Spacehack is the brainchild of Ariel Waldman, recently named one of the most influential individuals in Silicon Valley. Waldman was previously a program coordinator at NASA CoLab, which connects communities inside and outside NASA to collaborate. She agreed to answer a few GeekDad questions about the new site.
GeekDad: What prompted you to set up Spacehack? Did other lists fall short, or was there just nothing like this at all?
Ariel Waldman: It was an idea that was tossed around between some of my former coworkers at NASA and myself. I was part of the NASA CoLab team, whose goal was to encourage collaboration between the public and NASA, so the idea for Spacehack had a strong foundation in that aim. I don't know of other lists similar to Spacehack, unfortunately.
Continue Reading "Behind Spacehack: GeekDad Talks to Ariel Waldman" »
TED just posted a talk by John Hodgman (of pretty-much-everything fame, but most notable as "PC") that should cut straight to the heart of any geek. I could say that it involves lost time, aliens, a summer day, tourism, Liberians, the reliability of buses, and true love, but that wouldn't do it justice. Just watch it, it's only 16 minutes long and available in a variety of handy video formats.

Any ideas? /Roger The main usage of "PUT" HTTP method is to place an object on the server. HTML forms can use either "GET" or "POST" methods to submit their data. "PUT" is reserved for Web Authoring tools, like Netscape Composer. Anyhow, today the prefered method for placing content on the web server is WebDAV, which is present in Tomcat and supported by at least Macromedia Dreamweaver, if not others, by now. As for servlets writing into the WebApp directory tree, I guess they can do that (I haven't checket the specs, but if WebDAV servlet can do it, than any other servlet can). So, there is no need to play with "PUT", since you'll hardly see it from the client, the way you're going. Nix. | |

Last time it was the Tower of Terror, this time it's the sadly now-closed Adventurer's Club at Disney World. Video games as a virtual archive for shuttered theme park rides (or, in this case, nightclubs). It's not the most expected role for the medium, but I have to say, it's definitely one of the most charming. Especially since the interior is so painstakingly depicted. There's love and history at work here, and those two together can do wonderful things.[via Boing Boing]

Fiscal disasters are everywhere, here & abroad. The debt problem won't disappear regardless of the social unrest whether it's in California or Athens.
Looking longer term, without fiscal discipline, it's going to be either inflation or restructuring.
To date, the govts here & Europe have absolutely picked loose monetary policy. Results? Currency debasement, which in & of itself could spell high inflation. In the past 5 years, the USD has declined 31% vs the SWF. The Euro has fallen 22% vs the SWF in the same period. Here in the USA, we're borrowing 40% of our annual spending & overall debt is approaching 100% of GDP (incredible). In a somewhat ironic turn, Swiss officials have complained of late that their currency is hurting their economy (exports). I guess that's the odd effect of running the sole fiscally responsible government entity on the planet.
China's due for a hiccup. They're heavily dependent upon unsustainable infrastructure & construction investment.
JohnnyboyUtah, don't try to understand any of this.
Your local ER is already swamped with people complaining of headaches.

Monitary policy is a big problem to be sure. The American Dollar has lost over 50% of its value since 2001. Mainly due to the Federal Reserve printing more and more money.
China is risking a huge bubble becuase they are growing at an unsustainable rate.
The next major problem looming right after this debt ceiling debate, is Washington wants to pass trade deals with Columbia, South Korea and Panama. We do not need any more trade agreements unless the United State benefits FIRST from the agreement. Exporting more jobs to poorer countries that we cannot compete with is idiotic in the extreme.

Two other major expansions in costs between 2003 and 2008 were Medicare Advantage (the Feds pay a subsidy to private insurance plans to cover medicare) and the unfunded prescription drug benefit. Notably, one of the things that the Health Care Reform Act modifies is the unfunded Medicare Advantage program (this program costs more for the government than Medicare but cost less to the consumer), the so called $500 billion Medicare cut in the Health Care Reform Act that Republican are so opposed to.

The top 1 percent hold somewhere between 35 and 50 percent of the wealth. Go crunch the numbers. It would make a difference.
Social Security recipients have not received COLAs the past couple of years because aggregate price inflation has not increased above the level it was a few years ago. COLA adjustments are made once a year. In Jan 2009, SS recipients received a COLA increase of around 5 percent due to the overall increase in the aggregate price level (CPI) between late 2007 and late 2008, e.g., the CPI increased from 100 to 105 during that time (the large increase was largely due to the huge increase in petroleum). During the past two pricing periods, the CPI had decreased (due again to general decreases in petroleum prices AND the general deflation of prices in the economy like housing), so no COLA adjustments were made (SS checks are not decreased due to decreases in the CPI). This year the CPI is forecast to be around 108 (relative to my 100 and 105 examples), so SS recipients would receive a COLA of around 3 percent. This process is established by law.
One of the proposals floating around in many of the debt reduction plans is changing the CPI used for calculating the COLAs. The CPI being proposed is called the chained-CPI. In recent times the chained-CPI results in a smaller COLA than the CPI set by law -- for this year it would result in something more like a 2 percent increase rather than a 3 percent increase. The chained-CPI, it is argued, more accurately reflects the costs for consumers (and applies "substitution" in the basket of goods purchased by consumers, i.e., consumers will buy more ground chuck than ground sirloin when they have less money or prices increase, so therefor they need less of a COLA [one could also argue that if you provide less of a CPI then you socially engineering SS recipients to buy ground chuck rather than ground sirloin]).
There are plenty of other examples where assertions are not buttressed by the facts, e.g., on unemployment levels stability, "bail outs" (of the financial and automotive sectors), recovery act stimulus money (most of it was in the form of one-time reduced taxes), so on. You are correct that many of these actions were initiated during the prior administration.

Currency adjustments are how free markets operate. China has a rather fixed currency, it does not fluctuate, rather it is at a State-mandated rate. Our currency has been declining and in a sense that is good -- makes the USA more competitive in the export market which means more manufacturing jobs here in the USA -- it also means that jobs have been returning to the USA. Better trade agreements would help on that account as well.
On the other hand, trade agreements are good for markets when they expand markets, i.e., make the pie larger for all to share in.

Declining dollar also makes imports more expensive, such as Oil.
There is no such thing as a free market. Every country engages in protectionism with tarrifs and limits on goods and services allowed in/out of their country. The problem is we do not negotiate our trade deals in good faith for the American people but for American business'. China pays 2% tarrif to export into the US. We pay 20% tarrif to export there. Hardly free and hardly fair to us in being competitive. Our current trade agreement with South Korea allows S. Korea to ship 200,000 automobiles here a year. We get to ship them 20,000. That is not a free market. That is South Korea setting limits in the intrest of protecting their own economy. Something we here in the United states should consider.
Even with a declining dollar to make exports easier to sell abroad, we can still not compete with manufacturing in countries that pay $1.00 a day and are exporting to the same countries we are trying to sell to.

Zroadmap, where to find latest version ipk? |

It seems like the latest version of this application is at the following location:
http://roadmap.digitalomaha.net/download.html However, the arm ipk's there seem to be for familiar and not zaurus rom. Does anyone know whether version 1.0.8 has been packaged for Sharp roms? If not, can someone please compile this (ideally this would be a nice addition to Cacko feed but any location with working ipk would be great). Thanks for any help in finding this. |

Corky, roadmap DOES run without gpsd running. I do it all the time to set up my waypoints before I hit the road.
RoadMapGPS just monitors the satalites that gpsd reports. It will only show something if your gpsd it running. The way I do it is I just start qpegps (the qpegps package comes with gpsd) which then starts my gpsd automaticaly. Qpegps also has a really nice screen that shows the status of my gps with graphs and location info. Then I load roadmap and tell it to start my trip. Works every time. Any more luck on the new roadmap tombraider. |

Go Canada Racing to become GC Motorsports Int'l
February 07, 2012, Team Release, NASCAR.com
Go Canada Racing will become GC Motorsports International before the start of the 2012 season. "The name change is a result of numerous developments in the offseason and more clearly represents our company, our partners, drivers and sponsors going forward," said team owner Steve Meehan. In 2012 the team will continue to compete in the Nationwide Series with drivers from both Canada and the United States. The team will field its Daytona entry with David Ragan, last season's winner of the July Cup Series race. "During the offseason we met with several drivers that we felt could help us build our program and while we are not quite ready to field a two-car Nationwide effort we felt that expanding our format offers tremendous benefit to our team and marketing partners," Meehan said. "We feel incredibly fortunate to have David's knowledge and experience to help launch our 2012 program and hopefully guide the team into the future. "I am really excited to be kicking off the 2012 Nationwide season for GCMI," Ragan said. "I have known many of the team members for quite some time [and] it will be great to work with them again. This group has put together many winning efforts in the past and I plan on being part of their winning efforts in the future, hopefully starting with Daytona." The team will also launch an effort in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series for 2012. GC Motorsports International will team up with Dave Jacombs Racing to form GC Motorsports Canada. The team plans on fielding a two-car effort anchored by two-time series champion Andrew Ranger. Ranger will also return to the Nationwide Series this year to compete in a number of events including the Napa Auto Parts 200 in Montreal. "We feel we have a very formidable program, balancing experienced drivers with younger up-and-coming drivers," Meehan said. "This multi-driver and multi-tier approach to our program will allow us to continue to build a very strong program that will enable an evolution to competing in the Sprint Cup Series."

9 Amazing 3D Pavement Paintings
Pavement art has grown in popularity over the years and there are few major cities left untouched by the paintbrush of these eccentric artists.
Aside from the traditionalist type pavement paintings where the artist replicates famous works of art, there are also those who very cleverly create optical illusions with their paintbrush. Take a look at some of these mind boggling three dimensional
pavement paintings
scattered across the globe.
(thanks Andy)

Faculty: Kessely Hong
Day | Time | Location | |
Term Start Date | 8/31 | ||
Meet Day | T/Th | 11:45 AM - 1:00 PM | Littauer Bldg L230 (HKS) |
Review | W | 4:15 PM - 6:30 PM | Belfer 200 Starr Aud (HKS) |
Whenever you are not operating in isolation, it is not enough to design a technically perfect solution to a policy problem; negotiation skills are critical in gaining support from other stakeholders so that change can be implemented. This course introduces students to the theory and practice of negotiation by emphasizing both analytical and interpersonal skills. Analysis is important because negotiators cannot develop promising strategies without a deep understanding of the context of the situation, and the incentives, interests and alternatives of the other parties. Interpersonal skills are important because negotiation is essentially a process of communication, trust building (or breaking), and mutual persuasion. Through case discussions, we will develop a set of conceptual frameworks to help students diagnose barriers to agreement and develop creative strategies to address them. Through participation in negotiation simulations, students will have the opportunity to learn how to prepare effectively, to practice communication and persuasion, and to experiment with a variety of negotiation tactics and strategies to both create and claim value. The goal of the course is to help students be better equipped to anticipate challenges in advance, to expand their conception of "what is possible" in order to develop creative and wise strategies, to build sustainable coalitions to support their goals, and to gain confidence in advocating for themselves and others.
Students must be available every Wednesday from 4:15 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. (or later as noted on syllabus) to participate in required group exercises. MLD-222M serves as a prerequisite for MLD-223M (Negotiating Across Differences) and MLD-280 (Advanced Workshop in Multiparty Negotiation and Conflict Resolution). MLD-222M may not be taken for credit with MLD-224 (Behavioral Science of Negotiations), MLD-225 (Introduction to the Theory and Practice of Negotiation), or HLS 2195 (the HLS Negotiation Workshop). Because MLD-222M is designed to be similar in content to MLD-220M (the MPP1 required Negotiation module), MPP students may not enroll in MLD-222M (however, MPPs are welcome in MLD-223M).
Mandatory Review Session: Wednesday 4:15-6:30pm (Starr)

Looking for something different, I discovered what is called Automata. Which appears making inanimate objects and making them animate through gears, cams, pulleys, etc. As subject matter, wanted to replicate either me carving or sitting around small camp-like fire. Therefore, the arms are to be added as the animate portion of the project. Originally was going to cut out crude figure of myself, but thought it should have "some detail". One thing led to another and have been spending all the time on carving out very specific details. Peaked interest since not knowing how to carve folds, seams, wrinkles, etc. in clothing. Another exercise in viewing 2D picture and transitioning into 3D in wood, drawing from few problems overcome in carousel carving. Carved two arms and hands before the body. They were carved from poplar. However, scale of size is wrong now that body is carved and will have to recarve them to more closely match scale and in mahogany. Spending so much time carving that haven't even delved into the animate aspect of the project. Kind of afraid of that stage and am perhaps just lingering in the carving stage to avoid the area I fear and do not really understand. |

Love it. Your talent and gift for carving/sculpting here is undeniable. Any chance we could see another photo that focused more on the face? Also, how tall is the figure? Thanks for posting this project. -- www.blackswampwindsors.com |

That's funny you ask about face. Since the face isn't exactly the way it needs to be, I allowed it to be shadowed so as not to accentuate it. Think I got over zealous carving the hood back too far and now it looks like figure doesn't have any ears. Also, since neck is recessed so far back, difficult smoothing out that area. Can't seem to get carving tool in that deep or sandpaper. He stands 9-1/2" tall, er, I mean, SITS 9-1/2" high. Not sure how tall it would be standing. The eyes trouble me the most. They appear to look like ancient cave drawings of former cultures. Had hoped that this larger figure would allow me to carve details in face easier, but still so tiny. Also, took too much off right side of nose. Very dissatisfied with face. Not that good yet. Kind of afraid to shave eyes down further and risk "messing it all up" since the pants came out so well. Although, know that I do have to conquer the face eventually. Currently looking for other things (excuses) to carve or do so as not to have to face my fears. Oh well. Thank you for viewing and your pleasant comments. Will attach facial shot. |

That's a very nice wood sculpture. It seems to convey all sorts of symbolism and meaning – at least to me anyways.

Wow, nice saying helluvawreck. Never heard that one before. So true. Will try to remember it and apply it to my life. Thanks. Thanks also for compliment. I appreciate it. Still attempting to learn how to carve. Very interesting too. There just seems to be something primal, almost sacred about taking a piece of wood and transform it into a piece of art. If watching television the piece is placed close in order to study it during commercials of if show gets too boring. Always asking myself if the wrinkles or folds look believable, realistic; continually critiquing and refining it. Thank you again for that quote from Thoreau. Will refer to it until remembering it. |

I understand the fear of taking it too far and regretting it (in wood and life , lol). But if anything I have learned it is to be fearless and do it. I also had a fear of doing peoples faces, so I recommend attempting with clay first… if can get some I use "Sculpture House Roma Plastilina Modeling Clay" the hardest kind because it keeps great edges. Looks excellent so far. Keep it posted :) -- " 'Truth' is like a beautiful flower, unique to each plant and to the season it blossoms ...

Ah, bullpoop. They're not the greatest guitar players ever, but this is pretty good. Larry Carlton & Robben Ford jam the blues 2007.

A half tuck is a nice way to split the difference and play both sides of this contentious debate. Why choose?
While not a woman, I feel confident in saying that you're going to look like a bit of a tool if you're young and tucking your shirt into your jeans (sans a jacket). Casual shirt + young mane + jeans = untucked. If you're wearing a long, formal shirt untucked with jeans then, well, stop that.
If you're on the other side of ~40 then you'll look fine either way.
Depends on the shirt. If I'm wearing a Polo it's tucked, but if I'm wearing a Robert Graham it's untucked.
Wifey told me that the only time a shirt should be tucked into jeans, is when the guy is wearing a jacket or vest. Otherwise he looks like a farm hand.

Sustainability at USM
USM honored with 2016 Environmental Protection Agency award for food recovery
For the fifth time in three years, the federal Environmental Protection Agency has honored USM's efforts to both reduce its food waste and wisely use the waste that remains. In 2015, USM recovered 5.5 tons more food than it did the previous year. And before the semester ended, the 2016 numbers seemed poised to break last year's record total of 71.3 tons of recovered food, food that was then composted or sent to nearby farms as animal feed.
Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installed at USM's Portland Campus
Now you can charge up on campus! USM has installed an electric vehicle charging station at the entrance to the Portland parking garage.
Ending Food Waste at USM
USM won the EPA Region 1 Food Recovery Challenge award for 2014 & 2015 by reducing the overall amount of food wasted on our three campuses.
Take a Bite Out of Campus: About USM's Food Forest Garden
Located on the Portland campus outside of Payson Smith and Luther Bonney Halls, the USM Food Forest Garden is open to the USM community and the general public to stroll through and munch on any fruits that look ready to pick.

The University's replacement of showerheads in Residence Halls and Athletic Facilities was included in a post by the Sustainable Endowment Institute for World Water Day on various inexpensive and effective water conservation projects on campuses.
USM Wins 2013 Grand eco-Excellence Award from ecoMaine
University of Southern Maine Assistant Director for Sustainable Programs Tyler Kidder and Resource Recovery Supervisor Steve Sweeney were chosen to receive the 2013 Community eco-Excellence Award for Gorham and, then, went on to win the Grand Award as best from 22 communities.
USM Receives Recycling Bin Grant to further recycling efforts during special events on campus
USM received 40 portable waste bins for use at special events around the Portland and Gorham campuses. Used at the Opening Breakfast in 2012, the bins reduced set-up time and, along with clear signage, increased the rate of waste that was recycled dramatically.
Coffee grounds collected and used in USM's gardens
USM has a new recycling program that diverts used coffee grounds generated on campus from the trash to the landscape. An estimated nine tons of grounds will be saved from the trash each year!

I am new to tilt and trim. What is the difference.
No announcement yet.
What is the difference between tilt and trim?
Re: What is the difference between tilt and trim?
Tilt is trailer position, IO or Outboard
Trim is area from full down to up a certain amount to achieve best ride, speed and rpm.Don S.
Please, no PM's (Private Messages) regarding boat/engine problems.
That is what the forums are for.
Only forum/moderator issues will be answered in PM's.
Re: What is the difference between tilt and trim?
I believe that Trim is the angle at which your prop shaft enters the water, in relation to the transom. It's easiest to picture with an outboard. If the motor is straight down and the prop is sticking straight out at 90 degrees to the transom, that's not trimmed at all. If you move the bottom of the motor away from the boat, so the prop is sticking up a little bit, you've trimmed the prop. This gives you more oomph "out of the hole", but reduces top speed and might affect planing ability.
Someone else chime in and correct me if I'm misguided!

Trim is for running-
Tilt is for getting the motor UP for obvious reasons or back down to use the trimsigpic

Re: What is the difference between tilt and trim?
On outboards: some have power tilt (one function) and some have tilt and trim (2 functions). Each has one large centered hydraulic piston. T&T also has two small pins the motor rests against; they extend/retract about 4" when the motor is all the way down against them. They're made to hold agains the running pressure.
I have or had T&T on OMC 55's and a 70 and a Yam 150. But on a yamaha 50 all we have is the tilt. However, we have used it for trim for years of heavy use no problem. So while the trim looks like a good idea I question how necessary it is--of course the smaller the engine the less it would need it, but 50 is a decent size.A man of constant boat tinkering.
Re: What is the difference between tilt and trim?
FWIW trim also refers to proper weight distribution in the boat - so that it sits in the water and runs optimally.
For instance, before running captains should "trim their boat" by making people move from front to back, port to starboard, etc to equalize the load.
A really good book that describes boat terms and concepts well is Powerboat Handling Illustrated by Robert Sweet - it is very well done and easy to understand. I refer to it often.09 Key West 186 Bayreef w/ Yamaha 115 4s
Re: What is the difference between tilt and trim?
the term tilt and trim originated back in the days when you often had two different cylinders/pumps for tilt and trim functions. trim was a low volume/high pressure pump that was for running attitude. tilt was a high volume/low pressure pump that would run it up the rest of the way for trailing. Trying to run tilt while the engine was moving could blow a fuse or a hose.

Public Provision of Pensions: The Doug Purvis Memorial Lecture
Public provision of pensions to the general population comes in a variety of forms. Systems designed around a benefit formula and systems designed around a contribution rate differ in their economic implications and differ in their political settings. Canada has a defined benefit system with fallback automatic adjustment of tax rates. This paper contrasts the Canadian system with the Chilean (privatized) defined contribution system which has received a great deal of attention worldwide. The paper discusses three approaches to cutting benefits if the currently anticipated tax increase is larger than is desired.

Stitched Happy Birthday Card...
Friday, July 5, 2013
Hand Stitched Embellishments
Stitching is making its way back into paper crafting in a big way. It's a show stopping embellishment that's featured in many of my favorite scrapbook layouts these days. I'm super excited to share with you today my try at this technique. I've found that dies (when used in an embossing sandwich) make the perfect stitching templates to follow.
Check it out...
This fun card was created using the Sketched Shapes stamp set a coordinating dies.
The stitching was done with a few fun colors of floss and by using the small triangle die as a template. I'll show you how...
Here's How: Since the Sketched Shapes dies come connected, I first separated the triangle die from the the rest of the die shapes using my hubby's wire cutters. Using a post-it-note I temporarily adhered the die into place and then ran this through my Cuttlebug using the proper embossing sandwich. Depending on your embossing machine, you may need to refer to the instruction booklet for the proper set up. The result you are looking for is an impression from the die not a cut.
I performed the above step 5 times to create the row of triangles which I will now use as my guide for paper piercing. Take Note: The bigger the space between your pierced holes equals less stitching/work for you.
Time for stitching... tie a knot in the thread and hide this on the backside.
Take Note: I've used a backstitch. I'll show you how, but if you need more info many how-to's can be found via the internet. Here's How: Begin with a basic straight stitch from hole 1 to hole 2.
Continue by coming up to the front through hole 3. Next, backup and stitch through to the backside using hole 2 (This is the "back" part of the backstitch).
When complete use a piece of tape to hold loose ends in place.
Things will get messy on the revers side, but no worries this will be covered up. :)
Take Note: Don't be scared... load up on adhesive! This will help keep the stitched panel nice and flat.
One last example for you today. This time around I began like I did on the card above. By embossing the large triangle die, but before stitching I stamped the coordinating image (both from Sketched Shapes).
While I was stitching I threw in a button. Bonus! The sentiment is from the Bigger Blooms stamp set.
That's it from me today. I hope you'll give stitching a go. Have fun!

What a blessing! I think it is going to feel so strange at first. Obviously Gavin is the most devastating loss. But now Sara isn't there with her support (and she must be feeling it, too). Hold tight to each other, you, Ed and Brian. And know that, even though we are strangers, I and most of the people on here would do anything to help you. Right now we are praying for all of you during this tremendously difficult period of grief and adjustment.

Good luck Miss Sara, but as an honorary Leong you've got the protection of one superhero guardian angel on your side, Gavin! You all are in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate through your grief.. And in case no one else has Kate I just wanted to remind u to pay your domain name... Don't want it to get shut down like last year. Just the friendly reminder you had asked for... Last year ��

God be with you Sarah as you enter a new phase in your life. As an honorary Leong, I hope you can keep some form of contact with Kate especially if that is a mutual desire. Neither of you will be able to separate easily, I would assume. It would be nice just to have an. Occasional private message on Facebook is send/receive a cheery card in the mail. To Kate, please pace yourself. People will wait for your replies. Maybe you need to even be very choosy and do a mass message that covers the majority on your blog. You did this for you and when it stops helping you or becomes overwhelming, it's perfectly appropriate to take a step back. No parent can lose a child without experiencing massive amounts of anger and grief. Give yourself the gift of time. THE PRESENTATION VIDEO AND PHOTO ALBUM FOR SARA'S TRIBUTE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND MOVINNG. I'M SURE SHE'LL TREASURE IT AND GAVIN AND YOUR FAMILY FOREVER!!

I just thought I'd let you know Kate... that Gavin was the first person I never met that I loved. Thank you.

Sara, it is obvious how special you are. I wish you all good things in your future. Anyone who has Gavin watching over them will always soar!!

(CNN) - John McCain's campaign announced a shakeup at the top Wednesday, in the wake of growing Republican concern about its ability to compete against Barack Obama.
Campaign Manager Rick Davis said Tuesday morning that senior adviser Steve Schmidt would take over day-to-day operations of the campaign. The Bush campaign veteran will report to Davis, but the rest of the campaign will report to Schmidt, who will be in charge of everything from message and communications, to the political structure and organization to scheduling.
WASHINGTON (CNN) - With gas prices reaching a national average of four dollars a gallon - a record high - John McCain is planning to resurrect his call for a national gas tax holiday, which became a staple of his stump speech in late April and early May.
A McCain aide told CNN's Dana Bash on Monday that the Arizona senator planned to plug the gas tax holiday in public statements throughout the day as a message to voters that he understands the plight of working families in a tough economy.
Before a fundraiser in Richmond, Virginia on Monday, McCain mentioned the gas tax holiday in remarks to a smaller event for about 40 high-dollar donors. "That was derided by Sen. Obama and others as a gimmick," McCain said, but added that working people and truckers would appreciate it.
"I don't pretend that it's an answer to our energy problems," he said.
Gas prices have risen more than 10 percent from $3.671 a month ago and are nearly 29 percent higher than the $3.105 average a year ago, according to AAA figures.
McCain's original gas tax holiday proposal called for suspending the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.4 cent diesel tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Hillary Clinton supported a similar proposal during her Democratic primary bid.
Along with Barack Obama, many economists largely dismissed the notion of a gas tax holiday as a political ruse that would do little to lower prices, but McCain has repeatedly said he does not believe the proposal would be a panacea for America's energy woes.
Instead, McCain argued, low-income families could save some extra cash to pay for their children's school supplies this fall, or perhaps treat themselves to a nice dinner.
UPDATE: Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan blasted McCain for continuing to push the plan.
"By touting a gas tax holiday as part of his proposal for economic recovery in Virginia today, Senator McCain proved he was right when he said he doesn't understand the economy as well as he needs to," he said in a statement emailed to reporters.
DENVER, Colorado (CNN) – A voter at a John McCain campaign event told the presumptive Republican nominee that he needed a "Swift Boats for McCain" group to aid his campaign this fall.
Air Force veteran Clif Sams told McCain that he had done a "damn good job" surviving his imprisonment during the Vietnam War. He then told the senator: "I hope that we have somebody called Swift Boats for McCain come out and help you. You're damn good."
"Thank you sir, and thank you for your service," McCain responded.
In 2004, McCain vigorously defended John Kerry against attacks from "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth," a group which sought to undermine Kerry's Vietnam war record. At the time, the Arizona senator called the ads "dishonest and dishonorable."
Asked why McCain had not had a similar reaction to Friday's "Swift Boats for McCain" comment, campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt said the senator had repeatedly staked out a "clear position" against third-party groups, and "the only 527 activity is against us."
Sams, the Air Force veteran who now sells life insurance, re-iterated to CNN after the town hall that he would like to see a group similar to "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" to help McCain defend himself from Democratic attacks in the general election.
He predicted "there will be a lot of veterans like us who come out of the woodwork this fall" to assist McCain.
(CNN) - John McCain and wife Cindy do not file joint tax returns, and the campaign said Friday they will not release her 2006 and 2007 tax returns along with the candidate's.
The campaign argues that the two keep their finances separate, and that she has privacy concerns for her kids.
The Obamas and the Clintons both file taxes jointly.
Some of Cindy McCain's financial statements have been released as part of regular Senate disclosures.
The McCain campaign notes John Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz, did not release her complete tax returns during the 2004 campaign.
An heiress to her father's stake in Hensley & Co. of Phoenix, Cindy McCain's worth has been estimated to be around $100 million.

Los Angeles: Singer Donna Summer, popularly known as the "Queen of Disco", has died after a long battle with lung cancer. She was 63. Summer, whose real name is LaDonna Adrian Gaines, died at her Naples, Florida home on Thursday. A source to close to the family said the singer was suffering from lung cancer. "Early this morning, surrounded by family, we lost Donna Summer Sudano, a woman of many gifts, the greatest being her faith. While we grieve her passing, we are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy. Words truly can't express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time," Summer's family said in a statement. (Agencies) Latest News from Entertainment News Desk
The five time Grammy award winner was the first artist to have three consecutive albums reach No 1 on the US Billboard chart. Her hits during the disco era of the 1970s like "Last Dance", "Bad Girls" and "Love to Love You Baby" made her an icon, reported website.
Born outside of Boston, Summer was raised by devout Christian parents who introduced her to both gospel and classical music. Summer left home at age 18 to audition for the Broadway production of "Hair" and got a role in the show when it movedto Germany.
The disco diva's last album, "Crayons", was released in 2008. In 2010, she told in an interview that she was working on an album of disco standards. Summer is survived by her husband, Bruce Sudano, three children, and four grandchildren.

by Staff Writers United Nations (AFP) July 12, 2012 Liberia's President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said Thursday that Africa will face more conflict like her country's devastating civil war unless arms trade treaty negotiators produce a tough accord. The Nobel Peace Prize winning president told envoys negotiating a deal that they had "a once in a lifetime opportunity to agree tough controls on the arms trade." "The Liberian experience and other experiences in Africa and other parts of the world show that without such a treaty, armed violence and wars will continue to be fueled by irresponsible arms transfers," she said in a speech by video from Monrovia. Internal wars between 1989 and 2003 left nearly 250,000 dead in Liberia. "Let us make history in the next few days and change the world for the better," Johnson Sirleaf said. She called for the treaty to cover light arms and munitions -- a contentious topic in the 10-day-old talks. The Liberian leader said the world had to avoid a repeat of the arms trafficking which fuelled the final battle for Monrovia in 2003. On top of the deaths, Johnson Sirleaf said that conflict is costing Africa more than $18 billion a year, noting: "This is money our continent can ill afford to lose." The arms trade talks are set to last until July 27 with the aim of agreeing a treaty on the trade in conventional weapons. Negotiations are already struggling however with major exporters and importers seeking to weaken the scope of the accord, according to diplomats and pressure groups. The United States wants munitions excluded while China does not small arms to be in the treaty, they say. Meanwhile, the US representative at the talks, Donald Mahley, objected Thursday to the selection of Iran as one of 14 vice presidents of the UN conference. "Iran's longstanding record of weapons proliferation, illicit nuclear activities, and gross human rights abuses properly disqualifies it from serving in any such position in the United Nations," Mahley said. Accusing Iran of violating UN Security Council obligations by arming the Hezbollah group in Lebanon and the Syrian government, the envoy said "this selection makes a mockery of this conference's underlying purposes and undermines the credibility of the United Nations."

Across a dozen novels of high intellectual distinction and finely-crafted readability, the South African-born writer has often pitched his plot around stories that breed life-changing doubts and disputes. Given this fictional DNA, maybe it's a surprise that his admirers have had to wait so long for a novel of mystery and muddle in the Middle East.
Very much a Cartwright type, Richie Cathar inherits from his hippie-scholar father - a charismatic explorer-historian whose life foundered in drugs and delusions - an ardent curiosity about the age of the Crusades and a sometimes feckless detachment that leaves him alone and adrift in his mid-thirties.
fter a break-up, Richie draws on the remnants of his academic prestige at Oxford to fund a quest for the True Cross – or the relic that the warrior-king Richard Coeur de Lion thought of as that – among the traces of the Crusader kingdoms in Israel. Once in Jerusalem, an intense affair with the Palestinian-Canadian journalist Noor, and a wary friendship with her august, secret-keeping relative Haneen, drag Richie into the potentially lethal intrigues of this city of "ambiguity and disillusion".
As mysteries multiply, and even the good old Templars take a bow, Lion Heart could have buckled under the weight of its thematic armour. But Cartwright plays it cool: this is a novel of dodgy dossiers and tainted texts, of letters, emails and documents that conceal as much as they reveal. Another writer would have given us more of Noor. Deliberately, Cartwright holds their love at a distance, a questionable chronicle like the rest, with only the odd, sumptuous image - as blood-orange juice drips down bare flesh - to remind us of a sensual plenitude beyond the wrangle of interpretations.
Richie the researcher's quest for the treasures of the Crusader art, as "strange, mad, noble and persistent" as their hunger for Jerusalem, begins to shed light. Richie the lover's hunt for his elusive girlfriend, who in Cairo vanishes into the political maelstrom after the Arab Spring, pulls the novel down into a much darker place. If he fails to command the present, Richie can at least tighten his grip on the past - both the post-Crusade wanderings of Richard Lionheart himself, and his own fretful upbringing as a lost child of the counter-culture, and its secular fantasies of redemption and transcendence.
Every life, every story, becomes a palimpsest here: a layered tissue of erasures and amendments, with truths, lies and hopes forever overlaid on one another. As smart and fluent as we expect from Cartwright, and more affecting than its scepticism about our knowledge and convictions would suggest, Lion Heart deciphers with a shrewd eye the nagging riddles of history - and of the human heart.
