LittleGPTracker – music tracker optimised to run on portable game consoles
LittleGPTracker (a.k.a 'The piggy') is a music tracker optimised to run on portable game consoles. It is currently running on Game Park's GP2x & Caanoo, PSP, Dingoo, Windows, Mac OSX (intel/ppc) & Linux (Debian).
It implements the user interface of littlesounddj, a very famous tracker for the Gameboy platform that has been tried and tested by many users over the years, leading to a little complex but yet extremely efficent way of working.
Piggy currently supports 8 monophonic 16Bit/44.1Khz stereo sample playback channels. Additionally, the program can drive MIDI instruments (with the gp32 and gp2x a custom MIDI interface is required).
All versions are available for free ; however, if you like the project and want to contribute, don't hesitate to do a small donation. If you'd like to see the piggy wiggling on your platform, you can try donation too, DS users can forget about it, the console is not powerful enough to drive the piggy as is. The archive containing executables for all platforms is here:

Here's a pic montage of the dude.. but hang on.. have a look at the blaster in the right hand image... Ok let's zoom in..
Oooh.. I'm thinking that's a pump action grip? Whoo hoo it's speculation time!
Cheers Collin for the lead!
Looks like an Elite version of the Barrel Break. The handle kinda gives it away. Although, the grip seems odd, especially for a small blaster.ReplyDelete
Def the Ruff Cut-- it has the Barrel Break's hand grip.ReplyDelete
My guess would be that that's the Barrel Break equivalent, it has the same handle and it's the only shotgun-like blaster Nerf makes.ReplyDelete
Looks like it might be the ruff cut, cant wait for this blaster :)ReplyDelete
That is definitely the strife. Nice barrel break handle too! Ammo holders on the front?ReplyDelete
hoping the ruff cut looked somewhat like the stampede rev from the gameReplyDelete
I'm hoping it's pump-action,
Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to it.
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I saw these pics first and they're not from Tumblr, I saw them on Instagram.ReplyDelete
I was going to say it looks like the ruff cut but it looks like everyone else figured that out, I am not quite sure based of the lock of quality of the image it looks like it has 4 barrels stacked on top of each other. Do you see that?ReplyDelete
actually it appears to be a pump action blaster that has the same rotating cylinder like the swarmfire (looks like it too without the stock)
just my guess though
the other picture clear shows there is not turret, 8 barrels 2 by 4Delete
you're right, and it looks better than I thoughtDelete
It looks like it is pump action. In the first uploaded pic it seems like the handle is pulled back, whereas in the second photo the guy holding it has his hand very far forward - hard to tell if the grip itself is all the way at the front, but it *seems* like it.
Also bear in mind this article where the Ruff Cut and the Stryfe were first mentioned:
"Several models to be introduced next fall are nearly finished—namely the Strife, a semiautomatic pistol, and the Ruff Cut, which is only the third blaster ever that's capable of shooting two darts at the same time. In the Nerf conference room, Jablonski picks up a supposedly functional prototype of the Ruff Cut made of white epoxy resin: "Let's see if she works." He points it straight up and fires a couple of darts into the 30-foot-high rafters.
Full article link here:
I don't know how the mechanism itself would work, but in theory if it fires two darts at a time, each pump primes the next two darts, thus meaning four shots firing two darts per shot.
The UK price list that was leaked called it the Rough Cut 2x4. Wired called it the Ruff Cut.
I was wondering what 2x4 meant and now we see what looks like 4 barrels on the left side of a central divider. Logic dictates there are 4 more on the other side. Since Wired told us that it can fire more than one dart at a time it would appear that each pair of barrels acts like the Barrel Break and can fire two darts almost simultaneously with a long trigger pull. So 2 at a time, 4 times, pump action. Wicked!
*Choke, Choke* Are you serious?!?!?Well, Well Nerf, guess almost all your Elite products are getting spoilt by leaked photos.
IMO, Ruff Cut seems more interesting than the Strongarm. Pump-action and 8 dart capacity, WOO HOO! But it'll probably be detuned for Australia. :( (Why toy laws, WHY?)
I think this is probably the Ruff Cut. Since the Ruff Cut is the new shotgun, I think this could be it.ReplyDelete
Anyone else notice the weapon rack in pic #1?ReplyDelete
SWEET. This is why i read UT! Super excited for this stuff, I'll probably end up buying every single model haha.ReplyDelete
OMG that gun is like a real shotgun ALL MY WANTReplyDelete
The way the front looks on the "ruff cut"... it's almost looks like a hornet remake mixed with a barrel break remake.ReplyDelete
Very good OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete

Museum without Walls: The Mexican Masks
Exhibit - Artifacts | May 13 – June 13, 2019 every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday with exceptions | 12-5 p.m. | 2334 Bowditch (Center for Latin American Studies)
Center for Latin American Studies
Among the cultures of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, masks played a metaphysical function, representing gods and divine creation, as well as demonstrating wealth, societal, and ceremonial status. After the Spanish invasion and colonization, the evolution of masks tracks the hybridization of cultures. The mask is not a set symbol, but rather a feeling or an example. More important than who the mask interpreted was what it represented, often through a dancer. The dancer represented the possibility of instant transformation through the object the same mask could be a Moor in one dance and Jesus in another.
In collaboration with the Mexican Museum, CLAS is hosting an exhibition of 15 Mexican masks from the 19th and 20th centuries. In this collection, we see representations of pre-Columbian American concepts, as well as Spanish Baroque realism. Together, these masks communicate that the human being is diverse behind a wooden face.
Co-sponsored by the Center for Latin American Studies, The Mexican Museum, the Pacific Gas & Electric Corporation Foundation, and the Wells Fargo Foundation, with the generous support of Richard A. Levy, M.D.
Free and open to the public. No tickets or reservations are required, but please call 510-642-2088 to confirm hours of availability.

You know its summer in Durango when the echoes of gunshots ricochet down Main Avenue and the villains, heroines and hesitant heroes of the Henry Strater Theatre elicit boos, yays and hisses from a predominantly out-of-state audience. After the return of Diamond Belle shootouts, Durango Melodrama and Vaudeville is back to herald in the height of tourism season.
This year, The Hank hosts The Two Orphans, an 1874 classic about two young, beautiful and poor girls who fall victim to villainy upon their arrival in Paris. The eldest, Henriette (played by Amanda Grace Marcheschi), is kidnapped, leaving her blind sister, Louise (Rachel Lacy), at the mercy of an evil beggar woman (Rebecca Mason-Wygal). Further villainy, love stories, miraculous revelations and happy endings ensue.
The Two Orphans saw several extended runs throughout Europe and on this side of the Atlantic. It has been adapted into a movie on at least four occasions. The plays classic, fast-paced storyline and perfectly archetypal characters is a wonderful selection for the Straters summer season.
Native to the Durango stage, director Jenny Fitts Reynolds wrangled in a talented cast from all over the country. Those familiar with the Melodrama will recognize a few familiar faces from past years including Lacy, Mason-Wygal, Gabriel Tate, Charles Britton and Julia Goretsky.
Reynolds direction falters only in her ability to bring consistency to the actors performance styles. Where many of the actors give true over-the-top, melodramatic performances, others stick to realism. Fortunately, in this case, the strong story material more than makes up for it.
It isnt until the ensuing vaudeville act that the actors capabilities are truly allowed to shine. A near stoic audience came to life Saturday with the sudden energy, creativity and fun the actors found in their interpretation of this classic American theatrical genre.
It is as though the actors were suddenly unchained and set free upon the stage. In true vaudevillian form, the show is an eclectic mix of song-and-dance numbers, skits and, as always, a bit of vamping.
With a run time of nearly three hours, the melodrama and vaudeville performances are broken into three intermissions with musical entertainment by music director Darryl Kuntz. Kuntz returns to the Strater stage where he once performed with his brother at the Diamond Circle Theatre in the early 1970s.
For Durangoans who have yet to visit Melodrama, The Two Orphans is a good introduction. Written by Eugene Corman and Adolphe Philippe dEnnery, The Two Orphans was once considered the perfect play by some critics. It was so popular that Kate Claxton, the Meryl Streep of her day, performed the role of Louise for nearly 30 years.
The Two Orphans will run through Sept. 22 before making way for the fall season of concerts including Le Chat Lunatique and Finnders and Youngberg, and the annual performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in October.

A. W. Senior and F. Fallside
October 1993
Studies in the psychology of reading indicate that reading probably involves recognising features which are present in letters, such as loops, turns and straight strokes. If this is the case it is likely that recognising these features will be a useful technique for the machine recognition of cursive script. This paper describes a new method of detecting the presence of these features in a cursive handwritten word. The method uses constrained snakes which adapt to fit the maxima in the distance transform of a word image while retaining their basic shape. When the snake has settled into a potential minimum, its goodness-of-fit is used to determine whether a match has been found. The features located by this method are passed on to a `neural' network recogniser. Examples of the features recognised are shown and results for word recognition for this method, on a single-author database of scanned data with 825 word vocabulary are presented. These are followed by a conclusion and pointers to further work.
If you have difficulty viewing files that end
which are gzip compressed, then you may be able to find
tools to uncompress them at the gzip

If you have difficulty viewing files that are in PostScript, (ending

Episode 41: Top 12 Reasons Why Your Pinterest Marketing Strategy Isn't Working
Before we talk about a Pinterest marketing strategy, let's talk about what is Pinterest first? Pinterest is a search engine. It's meant for discovery. This is where people go to find solutions, ideas and inspiration. The internet is swarming with new content each and everyday. Think of Pinterest as "the best of the best on the internet." It's a way for users to bookmark what they've found to be helpful. What does this mean for you as an entrepreneur or marketer? If they pin your content, you are gaining credibility and authority which will strengthen your marketing strategy. Word-of-mouth advertising will always be Pinterest Marketing Strategies That Work effective! If someone is pinning your content, they're endorsing you so their friends, family and followers can discover you as well. You are increasing your total exposure. Pinterest is the perfect way to drive traffic to your site in order to generate more leads and business. One way to get the ball rolling is to make sure that YOU are pinning your content. Currently, I average over 4 million monthly viewers per month on Pinterest with close to a 9% engagement rate! I've used Pinterest to drive traffic to my blog, e-commerce site, appointment booking sites, lead capture pages and even Youtube videos. The possibilities really are endless. If you're thinking you don't have time to learn about another social media site, trust me, I was just like you but this is where Pinterest has proven to be worth it many times over! Having a Pinterest marketing strategy is crucial! Learn more: read the blog here.

Episode 11: Be Unapologetic
We live in a world too busy to concern themselves with your problems but quick to tell you to humble yourself. Maybe this is just my observation, but I see a lot of people saying "be humble" when they really just want you to "be quiet." When exactly are you supposed to speak up? Now let me just say there is a difference between being braggadocious and showing humility. Yet, as SOON as a person cheers or shows an ounce of confidence, it's a problem. For the record: it is ok to celebrate your victories. You worked for them! You've been through Hell for them! You deserve it! Cheer on! If you sacrificed every night to work on your business and finally got your first customer.... If you quit school in order to put your kids through school and now given the opportunity to go back or watch your kids graduate... If you woke up each day, with the weight of the world on your shoulders, thought about seriously giving up and finally one day, you hear a message that says, "don't worry"...

Episode 9: Are You Really Busy or Just Faking It?
There is a difference between being busy and being productive. When I first launched my business, I spent the majority of my time being busy. I really feared failure so I figured doing something, anything actually was considered building my business; however, those things got me absolutely nowhere! I was just wasting time and avoiding the inevitable!

Hey Guys,
I would like to share some information about a production process I have developed this year, together with a local wood carving company (3DWood). We already use this production pipeline daily now, because it has so many advantages; and ZBrush plays a major role! (how could it be otherwise )
I'm going to explain the steps with the help of two models that are available on my website: www.ben-godi.com
1. Digital Sculpting
ZBrush allows me to create and sculpt the model entirely on the computer; from concept to final sculpture. I'm able to change things based on client's feedback quickly, with no need of making laborious changes on a clay model for instance.
What I have to keep in mind is, that the outcome will be a physical object and in this case, an object made out of wood. As you already know for sure, wood consists of fibers that growth in a certain direction. Therefore it's necessary to avoid thin parts that go across that wood grain. They break easily.
When I work with different subtools, I always make sure that the meshes are closed and watertight surfaces and intersecting with each other. You can do that, by starting with a ZBrush primitive for your basemesh and turn it into a dynamesh. A dynamesh will always force a closed surface by closing holes automatically.
2. Preparing for 3D Printing
When I'm done with sculpting, I make use of the "decimation master" plug-in and reduce the polycount. A super-highres mesh isn't necessary for printing. Most of the time I merge all subtool before I export the geometry as an STL file with the "3D Print Exporter" plug-in. I use Magics RP from Materialize to combine all shells to a single shell and to fix mesh errors, in case the model has any. Removing shells is necessary for giving your sculpture a wall thickness later on. You don't have to use an external application for merging shells. Merge all subtools to a single subtool in ZBrush and turn the whole thing into a higres dynamesh (with the project function enabled to keep your details). By doing that, you can get rid of the polygons at the inside of your model. In Magics RP I define a wall-thickness and perforate the sculpture, so the dispensable powder can be removed after printing.
3. Prototype and Production printing
For production on the pantograph (see point 4 below) you need to work on a reference model that is at least twice as big as the final wood figurine. That's necessary for transferring all the small details to the wood and makes it a lot easier to work with, because you must trace the surface by hand on the machine later on. But before I order the big printout for production, I go for a small version, ideally the size the final wood sculptures will be, to see how the model looks as a physical object. Whenever I feel something doesn't look right, I go back to ZBrush and try to fix it (composition, balance...)
I normally use Shapeways (www.shapeways.com) for printing. They have Z-Corp printers for a printout in Sandstone (works great for all prototype models) and big laser sinter machines for printing a very strong nylon/plastic. That's exactly what I need for the pantograph.
4. Production on the Pantograph (3d profiling machine)
I fill the double sized plastic 3D printout with a special resin and mount it on a metal plate. Everything has to be assembled very strong to prevent it from bending or changing its position during tracing on the machine. The tracing itself isn't an automated process yet; you still have to do it by hand. And you have to be super careful. Oh boy, in a moment of carelessness you can ruin a whole row of figures! You start with some bigger milling heads for rough machining and switch to the smaller once for detailing. I use maple wood for my work. It doesn't change its color over the years and allow very fine details.
5. Finishing and Refining
The figures that come straight from the pantograph look great but aren't finished yet. It needs a lot of sandpaper work to smooth the surface. I add details with my set of small carving knifes and boost the once that disappear during milling. Finally I paint the parts I want to be painted and add a thin layer of wax that prevents the wood from getting dirty.
6. The final product
If you keep an eye on some production restrictions, (wood as a living material, the dimensions the pantograph allows, avoiding spots that are difficult to reach with the milling heads) the possibilities are endless!

Missouri Set For Rematch With Ole Miss
COLUMBIA - The Missouri Tigers will put their perfect home record on the line Saturday when the Ole Miss Rebels visit Mizzou Arena.
Mizzou is 13-0 at home this season and 29-1 at home under head coach Frank Haith. The Tigers will try to avenge a Jan. 12 road loss to the Rebels in which the team was held to a season-low 49 points. Mizzou is 1-1 under Haith in return games against teams it previously lost to on the road.
Mizzou will receive a boost this time around with senior forward Laurence Bowers. Bowers, the Tigers' leading scorer, didn't play in the matchup earlier this season, the first of five he missed with a knee injury. Since returning, Bowers has averaged 9.7 points per game, including a 7-point game against Texas A&M on Feb. 7.
For the Rebels, Marshall Henderson leads the SEC in scoring and Murphy Holloway leads the league in rebounding.
The Tigers will look to center Alex Oriakhi to contain Holloway and help maintain Mizzou's status as one of the 7th best rebounding team in the country. The Tigers have outrebounded 18-of-22 opponents this season.
Ole Miss has won three of its last four on the road but has dropped two of its last three overall. With a win, the Tigers will move to 6-4 in the conference and into a possible tie for third place. At 7-3, Ole Miss sits in second place in the SEC and can move into a tie for first place with a win.

Sometimes it takes an external perspective to remind us of our strengths. That's what happened when I sat down to talk to Mort Webster, associate professor of Energy and Mineral Engineering, who recently came to Penn State from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He couldn't say enough good things about Penn State's diverse expertise and strong support for interdisciplinary research.
"[Penn State] is one of the few places I've found anywhere in the world that has expertise across so many areas," Webster said. Because the nature of Webster's research demands interdisciplinary collaboration, he was attracted to Penn State's broad group of faculty experts in wide-ranging fields. That broad expertise and collaborative environment is the only way to solve energy challenges such as climate change Webster said. Prior to making the move to Penn State, Webster was already working closely with faculty from Geosciences, Agricultural Economics, Meteorology, Industrial Engineering, and Energy and Mineral Engineering.
Webster's research focuses on uncertainty in energy and environmental systems especially in relation to electric power systems. He specializes in risk analysis and uncertainly analysis to inform decision-making under uncertain conditions. Uncertain conditions can include future fluctuations in fuel prices, new technologies or changes in technology costs, new regulations or policy, and changes in environment or climate. While it's hard to predict what will happen with any of these factors in 30 or 40, these factors have an immediate impact on decisions that have to be made today. This research can be used to inform various stakeholders, including policy makers, research funding agencies, and industry.
Take, for example, the decision to build a new power plant. A plant built today would be online for at least the next 30 years, but there is no way of knowing what energy will look like 30 years from now. What new technologies will have come to the table? What will climate change look like? What type of power plant should we be building today that will still makes sense 30 years from now?
The overarching question is, "What should the technology mix look like?" Should we be investing in coal, natural gas, solar, wind, nuclear, or something else? The quick answer is that we need a very broad portfolio of research and technologies. Regulatory agencies are proposing regulations that would decide the future mix of energy resources by eliminating funding for certain technologies. Webster said that removing specific resources from the mix is not the answer.
"Nothing is off the table," Webster said. "There are so many directions our energy future could take."
Prior to joining Penn State, Webster was assistant and associate professor of engineering systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2006-2013) and assistant professor of public policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2001-2006). He received a doctorate in engineering systems and a master's degree in technology and policy from MIT, and a bachelor's degree in computer science and engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. He has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in energy and environmental science, engineering, economics, and policy, and has served on several national and international panels, including the U.S. Climate Change Science Program.

Once upon a time, NHL goalies played without masks. Unsurprisingly, their faces often got all fucked up. In 1966, LIFE published an article, "The Goalie Is the Goat," that not only aimed to put a human countenance on "hockey's reviled and bludgeoned fall-guys," but featured a photo of what looked like a modern-day Frankenstein's monster.
This face belongs to Terry Sawchuk [wrote LIFE], a 36-year-old goalie for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Re-created here, by a professional make-up artist and a doctor, are some of the more than 400 stitches he has earned during 16 years in the National Hockey League. Sawchuk has sustained other injuries not shown here: a slashed eyeball requiring three stitches, a 70% loss of function in his right arm because 60 bone chips were removed from his elbow. . . .
The list goes on. The point here, really, is that a certain type of fan is constantly bemoaning the fact that some professional sports seem to have grown less hard-core through the years, e.g, no more NFL players lining up on every snap, on both sides of the ball, a la macho gridiron coots like Bednarik. All right. But if some fool ever starts bleating about how today's NHL goalies are wusses because they wear helmets and face masks — well, maybe a 90 mph puck to the cheekbone or chin of the bemoaner will shut up that nonsense for good.

The aliens were inspired by the 1952 Weird Science No. 16 comic book art by Mars Attacks co-creator Wally Wood and by the 1955 movie This Island Earth.
Critics objected to the violence depicted in the cards when they were initially released.
The Golden Gate Bridge serves as setting for this card. "We tried to pick the iconic landmarks that kids could recognize," Len Brown writes in the Mars Attacks book.
The creative team debated whether Martian martinis should "look a little weirder," Brown writes. They opted for an earthling-style glass.
In the book, Brown notes that British politicians took to the floor of Parliament to denounce this card.
The original version of this card featured "a lot of skin and cleavage," writes Brown. Management insisted on a more modest graphic.
Though Tim Burton pictured tiny Martians in his movie adaptation, Brown writes, "The idea was that they were human sized."
Martians invade one of the the many bomb shelters built during the Cold War to protect inhabitants from Soviet missiles.
American soldiers finally start to triumph over the Martians during the series' last few cards.
America's Cold War paranoia bubbled over in the early sixties when a chewing gum company famous for making baseball cards added bloodthirsty aliens to its repertoire. The Mars Attacks card art, introduced in 1962, proved too graphic for gatekeepers of public taste and Topps Chewing Gum shut down production of the short-lived 55-card series after a Connecticut district attorney complained that the artwork was "unsuitable for children."
Fifty years later, thanks to the Curiosity mission, we know what it actually looks like when human civilization touches down on Mars and it has nothing to do with the swollen-head psychopaths depicted in the "Earthmen Land on Mars" scenario pictured above. But the work produced by writer Len Brown and artist Norm Saunders, collected now in the anthology Mars Attacks: 50th Anniversary Collection — out Monday — continues to pass muster as a lurid snapshot of sci-fi paranoia at its most pulp-fictiony.
Win Mars Attacks Hardcover
Wired is teaming with Abrams ComicArts to give away three copies of Mars Attacks: 50th Anniversary Collection. The 224-page hardcover includes four exclusive bonus Mars Attacks trading cards, commentary by co-creator Brown and Zina Saunders, sketches, concept art and test-market materials. To qualify for the contest, check out the card art in the gallery above. Then, in the comments section below, tell us: If and when aliens finally present themselves to the human race will they look anything like the ones pictured in Mars Attacks?
Deadline to enter is 12:01 a.m. Pacific on Oct. 8, 2012. Three randomly selected winners will be notified by e-mail or Twitter. Winners must live in the United States.
Note: If you do not have an e-mail address or Twitter handle associated with your Disqus login, you must include contact information in your comment to be eligible. Any winner who does not respond to Wired's notification within 72 hours will forfeit the prize.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Farms are fun places — with all that fresh air, sunshine, and room to run around. But they're also places where real work gets done. And some of that work involves equipment that can be dangerous if someone doesn't know how to be safe.
Kids who live on farms really need to know what it takes to be safe. They probably help out on the farm and need to know the safety rules that can prevent injuries. According to the National Safety Council, farming is one of America's most hazardous jobs. Kids ages 10 to 14 are at high risk for injury, often because they take on a job or task that they aren't ready to handle.
If you do work on a farm, listen to parents or other supervisors. Be careful where you play and don't go out to work on the farm on your own. Make sure to keep your family informed about where you are on the farm. If you're helping out, don't try to use equipment or tackle big projects if you haven't been properly trained. If there's a job you really want to do, such as driving a tractor, you'll probably have to wait until you get a little older.
Take a look around any farm. How many different pieces of equipment do you see? And how many are bigger than you are? These machines may look pretty cool, but the bottom line is that kids should not operate farm machinery.
Pickup trucks, tractors, threshers, lawn mowers, and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are powerful machines. But these machines and all other types of farm equipment are not safe for kids to ride on (even with an adult present), play on, or even be around, no matter whether they are in use or not. It's really easy to get thrown from a tractor, thresher, or riding mower.
Here are some more tips to remember around equipment:
One of the coolest things about farms is how many different kinds of animals there are — like pigs, cows, horses, sheep, and chickens. But these animals are different from dogs, cats, or other house pets. Farm animals are often bigger (horses and cows, for instance). And whether they are big or small, they may not be friendly to people. A horse might kick you, for instance. All farm animals need to be treated with respect and care.
When you are around farm animals, be calm, move slowly, avoid making sudden jerks or movements, and always approach them from the front so they can see what you are doing. Don't scream or run around them because it will upset them.
Here's some more advice to follow when you're around animals:
And after you've been around farm animals, be sure to wash your hands with warm water and soap. Animals can carry germs that cause infections. If you get those germs on your hands and then touch your mouth or eyes, you might get sick.
Kids shouldn't be in contact with poisons, chemicals, or fertilizers. But how do you know if something is dangerous to touch or smell? The label may say "caution," "poison," or "danger." Some of these chemicals are toxic (say: TOK-sik) or poisonous.
Stay away from areas where these dangerous substances are stored and never open the containers. If you have younger brothers and sisters, be sure they don't touch these items either. If they have easy access to them, you might want to ask your parents to store them somewhere else, where little hands can't reach them.
Manure (the excrement, or poop, of livestock) is often used on farms as fertilizer for the soil. Although many people consider it to be safer than chemical fertilizers, in large quantities and in enclosed spaces manure can produce deadly gases. Kids shouldn't work with manure or be around manure pits or storage areas.
Besides all the temptations of equipment and animals, farms may have a barn or storage areas separate from the house. They may seem like great places to explore — but you need to be careful there, too. It's easy to fall from ladders and lofts in barns and storage areas. Storage areas should be locked to keep out kids and other people who shouldn't be there.
Never ride on a grain wagon or enter a silo or grain bin. It's easy to be trapped by flowing grain, and the closed storage areas can fill in seconds and lead to suffocation.
Sometimes, even if you follow all the rules, there can be an accident. Knowing what to do in an emergency can save someone's life. Ask your parent about learning CPR. If CPR classes for kids are available in your community, you should be sure to learn these life-saving skills.
If someone gets hurt while using equipment:
Stay on the line until the operator tells you it is OK to hang up.
If someone is hurt while around an animal:
If someone gets hurt by a chemical or other substance, ask an adult to call the poison control center or 911, if necessary. By knowing farm safety rules, you can protect yourself, your friends, and family on the farm.

text: I washed my hands with Russell apiaries last year after I recievedmy order. The quality of their queens is poor from my experience 4 died within a month of getting them and the other 2 one died over the winter and only 1 survived a non weather winter. My other bees might be a little grumpy but I will say this for the girls they produced 275lbs of honey last year and his sunkist queen produced 55lbs of honey. I requeened all my hives with a quality bee of my own. OH I sent e-mails called them and even talked to them on yahoo. They never returned any of my messages and blew me off. Poor customer svc and there is always something wrong weather Etc. Moonbeam strain my bees are out in the sun at daybreak and comeing home at dark I have even been stung when it was dark from a returning bee. Just a fancy name nothing more. I might send him a real queen bee that actually does all the things he says about his. 2 hive bodies on all my hives and 2 supers full of honey. If they ignor enough people maybe folks will start doing the same to them. There are to many reputable queen breeders with I am sure better quality queens. His queens look good on paper I have seen nothing from them that I would call quality. The only surviving queen nothing special and I have givin her the benefit of the dought. I will send her back to him rather than kill her. Send him some toilet paper to go with all that ---- they are shoveling.

Sermon delivered September 9, 2007.
Iwhoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life" (v.16). That love must be very great -- beyond measure and priceless.
What did God the Father give us in His Son Jesus Christ? The name Jesus literally means "God saves." Jesus Himself said, "I am the way, the truth and the life" (John 14:17) and "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12). So, we, the people of God, have been given, in the person and gift of Jesus Christ, the way towards, the truth about, and the light to see the life of salvation. However, we must receive; we must accept this priceless gift. God does not force us to take the gift. In order to receive the gift, to believe in Jesus Christ, there is implied responsibility. This is where the way, the truth and the light come in to the picture.
First, the way implies a path or trail to follow. In the scripture, Jesus says often, "Follow me," and "take up your cross." This of course means, we must go wherever Jesus leads us. Sometimes He leads up on high mountains where we see His divinity and feel His presence ever so strongly. Sometimes He leads us in the "valley of the shadow of death" where darkness and despair loom over us and we feel abandoned by God. In order to follow, we must trust that Jesus knows the best road for our life to take, the one where all experiences lead to the life of salvation.
Second, in order to follow the way or the road, we usually need a map. The commandments of God show us the pathways that lead to harmony, peace, unity, reconciliation and joy. If we follow the streets and highways, our relationships are healthy. If we don't follow the map, we can get lost, spending months, if not years of wasted time looking for joy, fulfillment, meaning and purpose. If we don't follow the map, we can run into rough terrain and dead-ends of painful and damaging relationships with other people and with ourselves.
Third, let me ask the question, is it easier to read a map, drive on a road, or follow a person on a path in the dark of night or in the brightness of day? The answer is simple, daylight makes all of these much less difficult. The Holy Spirit, the Light of Christ, is always shining. It's a light that never goes out. However, we must bring ourselves into the Light. Whenever we sin, when we miss the mark of doing God's will in our life, we slip into darkness. Have you ever heard the saying, "Nothing good happens after midnight"? Sometimes, we get used to the dark, we like the darkness because we can hide our evil deeds. Not in today's passage but a few verses later, Jesus says, "Men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For every one who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed" (vv.19-20). How can we come back into the light? Simple, we return to the light through repentance and confession of our sins and trespasses.
We know that God the Father loves us. He loves us so much He wants to share divine, eternal life with us. He gives this gift through His Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the Cross, to show us the way to salvation. God's gift and Jesus' sacrifice show us that we must crucify our own selfish wants and desires in order to receive the gift. We do this by taking up our own cross, sometimes imposed upon us by the circumstances of life in our imperfect and sinful world. A life of constant and daily prayer enables us to discern how to follow Christ with this cross on our back. The sacred scripture, the Holy Bible, provides the map and the teachings and traditions of our Orthodox Faith provide the key or legend to this map. The purity of our heart, when it holds no bitterness nor resentment towards others, when it is free of the guilt and shame of hidden sins, is like a flashlight to see the map and the headlights to see the road ahead of us, and the sunlight that enables us to see the beautiful landscapes of God's blessings in our life. This is how we believe in Jesus Christ so that we may not perish but have eternal life. Amen!

Chic Gamine: The Girl-Group Sound, Stripped To Its Bones
Once again, you're listening to WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Laura Sullivan. And it's time now for music.
CHIC GAMINE: (Singing) I just wanna be closer, all right, just a little closer, that's right, why can't I feel, oh...
SULLIVAN: This catchy little number is called "Closer," and it's the title track from the new album by the vocal group Chic Gamine. And what you're hearing is just four voices and a drum set. That's it. Consider it minimalist Motown. Chic Gamine is from Winnipeg, Canada, and singer, Andrina Turenne, joins us now from the CBC Studios up there. Welcome.
ANDRINA TURENNE: Hello.
SULLIVAN: For those of us having trouble remembering some of our high school French, what does Chic Gamine mean?
TURENNE: Well, chic as in stylish - so chic - and gamine is - means mischievous young thing.
GAMINE: (Singing) And the moon rise, moon rise, and the sun still sets, but don't forget your heart here, oh, don't forget, oh.
SULLIVAN: Tell me how your band got together, because it seems like kind of an unusual configuration for a group.
TURENNE: Yeah. It is, I guess. But we just have such a love of singing together and harmonies, and so our natural draw was to work together and to see if this configuration could work. And so we have four singers - myself, Andrina, Ariane Jean, Alexa Dirks and Annick Bremault, all four of us from Winnipeg, Manitoba. And then the drummer, Sacha Daoud, is from Montreal, Quebec.
SULLIVAN: Do you ever miss having those huge, soaring horn sections that you hear in Motown music?
TURENNE: Well, we just try to create them with the voices. We enjoy singing those parts. I mean, it's nice to have a full band behind you. But, you know, as the band is growing, we're adding so much more instrumentation. We now have a Moog keyboard that we use for baselines and a lot more guitar.
SULLIVAN: I think I actually hear a whistler on one of these songs.
TURENNE: Yeah, yeah.
SULLIVAN: The song "Don't Think That I Can Stay." And a very good whistler, I might add.
TURENNE: Alexa Dirks. She's a great whistler.
TURENNE: She grew up in Winnipeg, as well, in - just in a different neighborhood. And I remember we heard her sing, and we were just like, holy smokes. Who is this? We need to see if she would be interested in singing with us and starting a band. And so - and Sacha is from Montreal, Quebec, which is a 27-hour drive away, and we asked him to be our drummer.
So from the get-go, it just - it was just like everybody took a chance on this, and everybody just said, OK, we're going to do this, but we don't really know what we're doing.
SULLIVAN: I'm speaking with Andrina Turenne of the Canadian band Chic Gamine. Their first record in the U.S. is called "Closer." I understand you got quite a compliment from American soul royalty. Let's just play a clip of her music first before I ask you about it.
MAVIS STAPLES: (Singing) Help me now I'll take you there, oh, mm.
SULLIVAN: That's Mavis Staples
TURENNE: Oh, man.
SULLIVAN: How did she discover your music? What did she say about you?
TURENNE: Well, we played at the Strawberry Music Festival in northern California probably four years ago, and she was headlining the stage that we were playing on that night. So she was performing right after us. And I've been, like, such a long-time Mavis Staples fan - we all have. So after the show, we met backstage afterwards, and she was telling us, she was, like, oh, you guys were the girls singing?
She's like, you reminded me of my sisters and I singing when we were kids. And it was really, really awesome. And it happened to be that day, my 27th birthday. And I was like, Mavis, that was an amazing show. There's one song, though, that you didn't sing that is my favorite one. And she's like, which one is that, baby? So I told her it was "Let's Do It Again" from this soundtrack of a movie that she did with Curtis Mayfield. So we just sang it. She sang it with me. We sang it - almost all of it backstage.
THE STAPLES SINGERS: (Singing) Let's do in the morning, sweet breeze in the summer time.
TURENNE: And it was the greatest birthday present of all time.
SINGERS: (Singing) All laid up next to mine, sweet love in the midnight.
SULLIVAN: Let me ask you about another song "Paper Moon" on the album.
TURENNE: Mm-hmm.
SULLIVAN: This feels like we're going even earlier than Motown. It feels like we're in the 1950s here.
GAMINE: (Singing) Da-dum-dum-dum, paper moon, why do you shine so soft and bright, swallowing the rays of light and holding them over the night, oh.
SULLIVAN: Tell me about this song.
TURENNE: When we started the band, everybody brought many songs, and we started working on arrangements. And this one is sweet because actually, we were at - my parents have a cabin in northern Manitoba, and we went outside at night for a break, and we actually arranged this one around a campfire under the moon. It was a really, really beautiful moment.
GAMINE: (Singing) So as the day grows cold at night, you rise right out (unintelligible) the lovers who hang onto paper moon, cut out of my heart.
SULLIVAN: So what's going on here vocally? Who's doing what?
TURENNE: OK. So Alexa is doing the bass part, (singing) du-dum-dum-du-dum, and then I'm harmonizing that part with her. And Ariane is singing sometimes with us, and then sometimes doing the harmony on Annick who is singing the lead.
GAMINE: (Singing) And holding them over the night, oh.
SULLIVAN: Some of your songs are in French.
SULLIVAN: Is it difficult to deliver soul music in French rather than in English?
TURENNE: I don't think it's difficult. I think that when you're writing in different languages, there's some languages that are better to say certain things, you know?
SULLIVAN: Like what?
TURENNE: Well, you know, like the song that we have on our U.S. release, "Tristesse Suspendue," is a super beautiful, kind of poetic, like lament, sort of, that for Ariane, when she wrote it, just came out in French.
SULLIVAN: And what is it saying in French? What is that about?
TURENNE: So it's about a sadness, like a sadness that hangs over, like, a cloud. And when you move, it just follows you around, and you just can't sort of seem to get it from under it.
SULLIVAN: So it sounds more French in that light than English.
TURENNE: Yeah. I guess maybe just the way, like, the approach of the way you want to sing it, the, like, language fits it better. But, you know, we're also into the idea of translating some of our songs so that we can do some of the songs in both the French and the English markets.
SULLIVAN: Oh. Does that work? Is that hard?
TURENNE: It works. I mean, we do it to pop songs all the time, so why can't we do it to our own, you know? Like, we'll think of a pop song like, (singing) it's getting hot in here. And we'll say like, (foreign language spoken) and change the words to French.
GAMINE: (Singing) Days and days in the dark waiting for the light that used to be in my heart. Now I'm all out of feelings, so much for happy endings.
SULLIVAN: That's Andrina Turenne of the band Chic Gamine. Their latest album is called "Closer." And you can hear a few tracks at our website, nprmusic.org. Andrina, thanks so much.
TURENNE: Thank you so much, Laura.
GAMINE: (Singing) There's a whole in my heart and I don't need your love to fill it up. You try to make me stay. I want to get away. I want to get away.

Got an aluminum steering tie bar installed. First bad crash, my servo horn stripped. Guess I found my cheap easy weak spot. To be fair the crash involved hard cartwheels of my 30lb truck. Gonna stick with plastic on this one.
Proline Badlands,2085x servo,RPM rear hub carriers,max6 speed controller,Jim's bearings,hinge pins with nuts,Russian indestructable body.
I just got an xmaxx a couple weeks ago after selling off all my ground RC's a few years ago.
I like it! Its bone stock so far. Until something happens.
Made a jump on the weekend, sorry its lame need BIGGER jump haha.

Not sure what happened here,ran the truck maybe less that 5min all of sudden throttle diminished and then no respond and notice the motor wire weren't attach anymore
Anyone tell me what could possibly went wrong here?

Looks like they did not solder the connectors on at all! If you have a good iron you could do this yourself. Need heat shrink etc to.
No Im not. For some reason I thought you were. I see now youre running mod 1.5. I prefer gears very much. I would stick with the leopard motor, I really like mine. If I swapped it would be to a TP motor.
Well my leopard 5892 1340kv crap out on me,it just keeps overheating since the wire connectors came off,I replaced the connectors with new ones I even had someone solder it professionally but it's still overheating
But anyways I ordered 950kv 8pole brushless motor to replace the leopard motor so as for now back to stock motor.

Ordered me fastlanerc billet heatsink with fasltane dual fans and ABC3 complete bearing set
Ordered leopard 58113 V2 motor 870kv
This all took me few days being life has been busy.
Totally Dissembled the xmaxx.
Cleaned all parts.
Installed RC screws stainless screw set
Replaced all bearings with RC bearing set
Replaced front diff oil with 30k weight
Refreashed center diff with 20m weight
Replaced rear diff with 50k weight
Replaced rear hubs with RPM oversize hubs
Replaced spur gear with 46T GDS gear
Replaced pinion with 20T
Added washers for rear bumper screws to wheelie bar (screws were pulling through)
Added synthetic marine grease to all metal on metal gears, except driveshaft and pinion/spur.
Added dielectric grease to reciever box seal.
Placed tape over holes inside rims of stock tires. (Prevent water from getting inside tires)
The RC screw kit left out few screws like steering servo and think something else already forgot lol 95% complete kit, tons of extra screws tho. Few screws were also different length but 1-2 millimeter difference so seems to work fine..
The RC screw bearing kit left out bearings for the wheelie bar wheels 95% complete kit few extra bearings.
Dont think I'm leaving anything out. It was a big project for only having the truck a few months and never taking it apart other than replacing spur/pinion, esc and reciever.

I really like the frame you made. You should consider two fans, and have those two fans get their power from your two Lipo's or BEC...maybe even three fans. It looks like your frame could handle three fans easy. Don't worry about the current drawing from your batteries. The small fans we use for our cooling draw very little current.
The ReglarGuy is kid tested and father approved.
1 the fans are 60x60x40 and my motor is a 56112 so two will run in to the motor wires
2 they are 12v fans they draw 3.5-4 amps and I dont believe there is a 12v bec ( send a link of Im wrong)
3 can I run them on the balance port or would I have to make a splice?

Special Supplement: Small office SANs
Leading vendors are offering entry-level Fibre Channel and iSCSI SANs at record low prices. And you can get a lot for your money.
Storage August 2006 Special Supplement
Prices for entry-level Fibre Channel and iSCSI SANs keep falling, putting them within reach of companies with modest storage budgets.
Even smaller businesses need the benefits that SANs and other networked storage systems deliver, particularly in terms of centralized management and backup. Yet these businesses have favored DAS, which leaves them struggling to manage scattered storage and backup data on isolated servers. That's not only costly, but risky.
"Every small business has some data that is extremely valuable," says Mike Karp, senior analyst, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), Boulder, CO.
The need for capabilities like centralized management and backup, data replication, mirroring and snapshots makes "networked storage necessary in the SMB [small- to medium-sized business] space," says Steve Duplessie, founder and senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), Milford, MA.
Beyond backup, SMBs "need to be able to grow their storage at a moment's notice and without causing application downtime," says Duplessie. "Networked storage enables SMBs to get most of the benefits large enterprises get." And, he adds, "they need to get it without it costing a fortune and without their needing a Ph.D. to plug the stuff in."
Until recently, it wasn't feasible to deliver networked storage in the form of Fibre Channel (FC) SANs to SMBs, especially smaller organizations. But the falling cost of storage, the emergence of iSCSI, and efforts to simplify the management of FC SANs through GUIs and wizards are making SANs more accessible to companies with limited IT resources.
Storage vendors are developing easier-to-use SAN and NAS products and pricing them within reach of smaller organizations' budgets. Even Microsoft Corp. is getting into the SMB SAN game with its Simple SAN initiative. These products are priced low, and features may have been trimmed and offer only limited flexibility/scalability. In addition, SMBs can opt for a variety of small office/home office USB-based storage offerings.
Storage August 2006 Special Supplement
Cost and skill hurdles
Depending on whom you ask, the SMB category ranges from any company not in the Fortune 1000 to mom-and-pop operations. A Harvard Business School program intended specifically for executives at small-sized businesses sets an annual revenue of $3 million as the minimum eligibility size.
A recent survey by the Boston-based Yankee Group gives some reasons why SMBs struggle with SANs:
- Fifty percent of respondents have less than 5TB of storage.
- Forty-six percent employ three or fewer IT people.
- Sixty percent budget less than $50,000 for storage, and 59% spend no more than $10,000/TB.
Those Yankee Group survey respondents willing to spend $10,000 can get quite a bit more. "Today, $10,000 buys 1TB of disk, a couple of HBAs [host bus adapters] and a switch," says Greg Schulz, founder and senior analyst at StorageIO in Stillwater, MN. "And I'm not just talking about little-known vendors--even EMC sells 1TB of storage for that money."
With a storage budget approaching $20,000, an SMB can get a fairly sophisticated FC SAN. "In shopping around, I've seen FC SANs populated with disk drives [that cost] $12,000 to $15,000," says Mike Magaldi, director of technology at St. Mary's and All Angels School in Aliso Viejo, CA. He checked out one FC SAN offering for $9,999, but it didn't come with disks. For $20,000, Magaldi has found a choice of FC SANs that includes sufficient disk and management capabilities, including backup software. The school currently operates an FC SAN built on Hewlett-Packard (HP) Co.'s StorageWorks MSA1000 array. With the help of wizards included in the HP storage, Magaldi set up the FC SAN and backup system. "Wizards helped a lot. I had no idea about LUNs," he admits.
One thing that doesn't come with a low-priced SAN is the help of a skilled storage integrator. "We don't work with companies at the small end of the SMB market. The problem is designing the FC infrastructure," says one storage integrator who doesn't want to get calls from small companies. He recommends considering iSCSI for the SAN because it eliminates the problem of building an FC infrastructure and acquiring FC skills.
Storage August 2006 Special Supplement
Technical skills
SMBs know how to set up DAS as shared network drives and folders in Windows. They also know how to set up an Ethernet network. But creating LUNs on an FC SAN or setting up different RAID levels requires technical skills many SMB companies don't have. "At the least, these companies need software that automatically sets up RAID groups and abstracts LUNs to the familiar drive letters," says Scott Robinson, chief technology officer at Datalink Corp., a Chanhassan, MN-based storage integrator that also doesn't handle small business projects.
That was the case with Freeman Companies, a Dallas trade-show exhibition producer. "We're a small IT shop and had $14,000 to set up shared storage," says Lance Ballew, information services manager.
Having outgrown its 600GB Dell Inc. DAS, Freeman Companies was forced to try something new. After looking at the low-end offerings of Dell and HP, the company turned to Nimbus Data Systems Inc. in San Francisco for two 1.3TB iSCSI boxes.
"I wasn't that familiar with this kind of storage. I had always dealt with DAS. Nimbus Data talked us through it," says Ballew. The Nimbus support team set up a remote WebEx session and even logged on to walk Ballew through the setup. RAID 5 turned out to be simple. "You tell the software how much you want to format for RAID 5 and it just does it," says Ballew.
To save money, Freeman Companies used Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) for replication. "Because we got VSS with Windows Server, we didn't have to buy replication from a storage vendor," says Ballew. However, the firm's old Microsoft Server 2000 cluster didn't work with some of the newer technology because of the way Windows Server looked at the adapter cards. "Nimbus talked me through the problem and then kept calling me back to check that each step worked correctly," says Ballew.
Storage August 2006 Special Supplement
|SMB SAN options
SMB storage options
The newest initiatives come from a broad array of vendors and attempt to alleviate storage complexity for SMBs. The idea is to build much of the capability into the OS, typically Windows Server, and to then provide a GUI and wizards to mask the underlying complexity. What SMBs give up in flexibility and control, they save in not having to hire skilled staff.
FC SAN options for SMBs are limited. But several vendors, such as EMC and HP, offer scaled-down FC SAN-in-a-box products. Lesser known vendors like Winchester Systems Inc. and Xiotech Corp. also offer similar options (see "SMB SAN options," this page). Most of the starter SANs use iSCSI, which runs on an SMB's Ethernet network. "These starter SANs make SANs possible, but you're going to give up some things," says StorageIO's Schulz. For instance, they typically offer limited RAID options, either mirroring or RAID 5, and often don't include remote replication or snapshot capabilities.
The list of vendors offering iSCSI SAN-in-a-box products is growing and includes EqualLogic Inc., Intransa Inc., LeftHand Networks Inc., Nexsan Technologies Ltd., Nimbus Data Systems and StoneFly Inc., among others. "These companies have a lower cost structure than the big vendors so they can offer a low price," says Schulz. The products typically include slower, less-reliable SATA drives but come with RAID protection, a basic GUI setup and management tools.

|Buyer beware
Where low-cost storage vendors cut corners:
For really low-cost SANs, there are "third-tier vendors who may put together low-cost, unbranded components and skimp on burn-in and testing," says Schulz. Some advanced skills may be needed for debugging and compatibility testing of these systems (see "Buyer beware," at right).
Microsoft's Simple SAN initiative promises to drive the low end of the SMB SAN market. "It's because of Microsoft that SMBs will be able to do networked storage," says ESG's Duplessie. "Microsoft makes things cheap and easy compared to the expensive, complicated status quo. [It] can also get the other vendors to play nice. SMBs benefit when Microsoft pulls out the stick."
For SMBs that have standardized on Windows Server, Microsoft offers an array of advanced storage functionality like replication (using VSS), iSCSI initiators and multipathing IO (MPIO) built into the OS. This allows an SMB to avoid purchasing similar functionality from the storage vendor while reducing the likelihood of implementation, integration and compatibility problems. Microsoft's Simple SAN program has attracted a large number of storage companies, including Brocade Communications Systems Inc., EqualLogic, HP, Hitachi Data Systems, IBM Corp., LeftHand, LSI Logic Corp., QLogic Corp. and others.
SMBs can also opt for NAS rather than SAN and still get the advantages of centralized management and backup. The problem with NAS is its file orientation. "Some applications like SQL Server or Microsoft Exchange prefer block storage, not file-based storage," explains Datalink's Robinson.
"You can run database applications on NAS," says Schulz. "You just have to take some precautions as to configuration." The biggest drawback is slower performance. Most small businesses don't run high-volume, high-performance database apps, so they're not likely to notice performance degradation.
Compared to even a year ago, SMBs have quite a few storage options beyond DAS and NAS. Today, they can opt for FC or iSCSI SANs, and choose among the most reputable vendors in the industry. They'll probably still need to spend more than $10,000 if they want an FC SAN, but that price barrier could change soon.

Doubt it.Will Ponting resign the captaincy?
Depends if the selectors decide to disregard his century and drop him for 9 months worth of utterly contempible performances. If so, then technically yes. But we'll see.Will Hussey decide to go out on a high?
As opener? Probably only for a few Tests, but aside from Ferguson and Hodge, are there any serious middle-order contenders?How safe is Watson in the side if he's not going to bowl?
Highly doubtful. They've made some pretty iffy calls, though.Will the selectors fall on their swords?
Clark might on green-tops; Lee might where injury is concerned, even though his time has probably come and gone. We have a young, promising bowling trio now.Will Clark and Lee ever play for Aus again?
Will be an interesting few months in Australia, the media hasn't been paying any attention to this series, so there won't be a lot of external pressure.[/QUOTE]

The revolutionary design of the MAKO® Pro Skiff 17 has made it one of the most popular boats in MAKO history. The Advanced Inverted V (AIV) hull provides the ultimate in smooth performance, plus a quick holeshot, a dry ride and nimble handling and turning. It's ideal for all types of inshore fishing, and the nearly 3/4-ton capacity makes it one of the hardest working boats in its class.The deck and foam-filled hull are mechanically and chemically bonded to become one unitized structure with superior flotation and quiet operation. And it comes standard with a hot-dipped galvanized trailer, a Mercury® outboard and our superior MAKO Assurance warranty.
