Hi all, I thought the discussion developing between Brian and me in the Boom Brake thread was getting a little off topic so I though I would start this one and also have a go at up loading a couple of photos. First photo is Fyne Spirit at anchor in Marlborouugh Sounds NZ, second is me and the admiral (Jane) sailing of Banks Peninsula, and the third was taken in Cook Strait - sailing like a witch - we hit 11.5 knots surfing that day!
I have copied across Brian's last post as a starting point.
[quote]Hi Mike, Michel, etc
Mike, I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier to your various points but my wife and I were busy (fiinally) shifting Paradox from Plymouth to Brighton. What was supposed to be a quick trip turned into a mini-vacation with three nights at anchor in Dartmouth while fog sorted itself out, a couple of nights in the new 2012 Olympic marina in Portland Harbour while strong westerlies damped down (things kept breaking so I was following a policy of 'prudence') and a couple of nights anchored off Poole and the Isle of Wight. We had a couple of days of motoring into light easterlies, and a couple of days of downwind stuff in 10-15 knots. We much enjoyed the boat's performance although, being an 88 build, various things broke or were logged as needing refurbing.
We needed to get the alternator fixed before the trip and replaced the defunct TWC charger with an Adverc which seems to do a fine job of charging the four batteries. The mains charger was bringing them up to around 650 amps but the Adverc gets them up to 720 or so. The fridge has never worked so we used ice. There was a disintegrating cable between the start switch and the starter motor and the starter relay fell apart when touched. The gas system was condemned and replaced. So we've got a good few jobs done already.
Really impresed with the schooner rig - she sails like a witch, as Ian Tew who wrote the books 'Sailing In Grandfather's Wake' about his circumnavigation in a PHS39 says. Also handles superbly under power and the Maxprop (folding) is great in astern. Bit concerend about the Perkins Prima 50 which ran at 80 degrees at 1200 revs, 90 degrees at 1600 and 100 degrees at 1800. Kind of exopected it to settle at 90 whatever the revs?
So overall we are really pleased with our purchase, and very pleased too to be in touch with you so we can bounce ideas around.
You asked how the boombrake is set up. Now that I've used this 'Dutchman Boom Brake' I must say I'm impressed (this is on the main boom). The line is fixed to the port toerail about 18 inches aft of the mast (previous owner's installation). It goes up to the brake which is attached just forward of the kicker fitting (they say you can remove the kicker but I didn't tho' now think I could), two turns round the kind of 'Archimedes screw' on the brake (tried the max 3 but that was too much for the conditions) then down to a block in a similar position on the starboard toerail, then on to a 'handy billy' on the starboard quarter. There's a jammer on the bottom block of the billy but I found it better to use the aft cleat. I was wary of the device at first and avoided gybing, then thought what the heck, ignored the sheet, ducked and watched the main stay upwind. I then took the tension ever so slowly off the billy and was able to control the swing of the boom with ease. This was only in 10-12 knots so it remains to be seen how it functions in heavier conditions. But first impressions are good. The manufacturers say that instead of loosening the billy you can simply pull down on the sheet to auto-ease the friction in the brake. Seemed to make more sense to keep out of the way of the sheet and use the brake's own lines.
I reckon it would be good to have one on the foresail too, probably set up quite loosely, because as you say the foresail does tend to feather nicely once it's swung so far. Each brake would then have three functions - kicker, brake and preventer - it certainly works as the latter.
The model we have is the original; current models come with a knob with which you can get even finer control over the friction - Google 'Dutchman Boom Brake' and you can read the manual. Other manufacturers make rival products; this one is simple and effective it seems.
Thanks for pointing out that snapping lug issue - I'll keep an eye out for cracks.
Paradox has 'stack packs' too. These seem to be more DIY than pro, slung under the booms rather than attached to the stacks, with the cheeks of the sailcovers crudely hung from the lazy jacks. The previous owner clearly let them take the weight of the booms and sails. I was fairly happy to do that on the foresail but not on the main, as the upper part looks a bit dodgy. I left the main topping lift attached and sailed with two reefs in the main to be sure the topping lift didn't rub the sail. It's a pretty heavy boom to be suspended from a dodgy lazy jack.
I think I said that up until Paradox we've sailed schooner junks on western hulls so we're used to well-set up lazy jacks that really can take the weight of the sail and boom. That's the direction I'll be heading I think, although I can see that they do tend to spoil the shape of the Freedom sail. One to think about. If set up properly and run back to the cockpit the windward lazy jack can take the weight and the leeard one can be eased off. Works for junks anyway.
Some kind of stainless hoop over the helmsman's head is possibly a must too. This is pretty standard in western junks to keep the sheet away from the helmsman. Having seen the sheet whip across at what is a pretty low level before I got the brake working, I see it as a real danger. Seems daft to invest in expensive safety gear and ignore this very real hazard.
Regarding terminology, we're schooners, so I think foresail and mainsail is the way to go. To me only a ketch gets a mizzen.
Great to have an electric winch for the sails and another on the anchor - luxury after years of hauling both by hand. Great autopilot too - B & G Helmstar - didn't get to try the staysail or the Hydrovane. The Yeoman Chart Plotter was brilliant. i was thinking of replacing it with a modern chartplotter but having a GPS mouse on a real paper chart is so much better.
Keep in touch,

Hi Brian, great to hear from you and to hear about Paradox. You covered a lot of ground in your post and I will respond when I have a bit more time. Your engine temp is a concern though, it should be no more than 90. I would suggest a quick visual check of the raw water discharge at the exhaust, and if it looks like a reasonable flow, check thermostat, then heat exchanger tubes. Something must be disrupting the flow of either FW or Sw somewhere. The other possibility/concern may be propeller pitch. The M50 develops its full power at 3000 rpm and the prop should be pitched to allow this to happen. For us this gives cruising revs of 2000 -2500 -5.5-7.0 knots depending on conditions. If she was seriously overpitched (say) limiting revs to 2000 rpm max, then the engine will be seriously overloaded as you approach those rpm and might overheat. Typically their would be quite a bit of black smoke too. With the Maxi-prop that could well be fixed by taking off a bit of pitch.
BTW I used to live in Shoreham (Old Fort Road) in the 1960s. Do you reach your berth through the Adur river mouth and the locks at the Brighton end? As I recall the tides were 24 feet and you could only come and go on the high tide. I will be in touch soon. Kind regards,

Best & Worst Case Scenarios: 2014 Packers Inside Linebackers
In our best-case scenario, A.J. Hawk is named to the Pro Bowl. But in our worst-case scenario, Brad Jones loses his hold on a starting job.
It's time for the eighth annual "Best & Worst Case Scenario" series, a feature that goes back to the days of the old RailbirdCentral.com domain.
I attempt to take a look at what is the very best possible season a player is capable of producing, and on the other hand, what would happen if a player fell flat on his face (without assuming they suffer a season-ending injury). These are intended to be extreme scenarios on both sides of the spectrum. More than likely, each player is going to fall somewhere in the middle, but every now and then, they just so happen to come to fruition.
As one final note, I also try to take a look at what these scenarios would be from an individual standpoint and not necessarily what's best (or worst) for the team.
A.J. Hawk
Best-case scenario: As usual, Hawk provides all the intangibles you could possibly want. He's the leader and captain of the defense, directing traffic and effectively communicating to the rest of the team, just as he's done for years. But as he becomes surrounded by better talent, his level of play is as good as its ever been. Thanks to the defensive linemen keeping blockers off him and a solid inside linebacker next to him, Hawk finishes the season with four or five sacks, one or two interceptions, one or two forced fumbles, leads the team in tackles, and of course, plays in all 16 games. Name recognition helps him get to the Pro Bowl, but his play is deserving of the honor.
Worst-case scenario: Hawk's leadership is the best thing he provides, because the impact plays are missing from his game. Not even a drop in weight can prevent him from being a step slow. The effort is there, but by season's end, Hawk only has a sack or two, zero interceptions and zero forced fumbles to show for it. He also checks in with less than 100 tackles for the first time since 2011. Throughout the year, the Packers figure out ways to get Hawk off the field, particularly in passing situations, where he can't be exposed.
Brad Jones
Best-case scenario: For the first time in his career, Jones starts all 16 games and looks like the linebacker the Packers always hoped he'd be. Part of being effective is just staying healthy, but Jones is finally experienced enough to figure out the mental part of the game too. He sets a career-highs in almost every statistical category, comes up with more than 100 tackles, has five sacks, forces at least two fumbles. Jones is the most effective and reliable inside linebacker on the roster.
Worst-case scenario: From a talent-standpoint, Jones is the same linebacker he's always been: average and inconsistent. He's in no danger of losing a roster spot as he's definitely an NFL-caliber player, but at some point mid-season, the Packers decide they can do better in their starting lineup. Jones is benched in favor of either a Jamari Lattimore or Sam Barrington. From that point forward, Jones sees only limited playing time on defense.
Jamari Lattimore
Best-case scenario: Entering his fourth season in the NFL and his third consecutive as an inside linebacker, things start to click for Lattimore. No longer is he the player caught out of position like he was last season. Lattimore uses his athleticism to make plays, and eventually takes over a job in the starting lineup. It may not come Week 1, but when Brad Jones can't consistently play at a high-level, Lattimore is installed as the starter, a job he doesn't give up.
Worst-case scenario: Special teams is Lattimore's biggest contribution to the Packers. He's actually a decent special teams player, but that only gets him so far. Lattimore only receives sparse playing time on defense when injury necessitates, but he can never claim a starting job. Hawk and Jones are inserted right back into the lineup as soon as they're healthy, and in due time, Sam Barrington becomes the preferred option off the bench.
Sam Barrington
Best-case scenario: Bolstered by impressive play in the preseason, Barrington becomes a player the Packers can't afford to linger on the bench. During the exhibition season, Barrington is seemingly making tackles all over the field in addition to making sacks, grabbing interceptions and forcing fumbles. He might bide his time on special teams early in the season, but the Packers start to find a role for Barrington on defense by mid-season. In due time, he leapfrogs both Jones and Lattimore on the depth chart.
Worst-case scenario: Lingering hamstring problems from last season don't help Barrington's bid for a roster spot in 2014. He begins training camp with the second-string defense at inside linebacker, but before long, he's been surpassed by rookie Joe Thomas and relegated to third-string duty. When Barrington can't make any measurable impact in the preseason, the Packers have part ways with the second-year player. He's released at the end of camp.
Joe Thomas
Best-case scenario: One of the pleasant surprises of training camp, Thomas seems to impress at every turn. He catches eyes at both training camp practices and in preseason play alike. Thomas performs like a player years ahead of his time, solid and reliable, the type of player the Packers aren't afraid to give playing time despite being just a rookie. Making the 53-man roster, Thomas' contributions as a rookie are primarily on special teams, but it appears as if he could play a much larger role in the future.
Worst-case scenario: Thomas looks athletic and moves well, but it's partially due to the fact that he weighs only 227 lbs. No one can knock his effort, but when he gets playing time in 11-on-11 situations, whether it's in practice or a game, his size betrays him. Thomas gets knocked around. As much as the Packers like his athleticism, they know they need linebackers that can take on 300-pound offensive linemen, and Thomas just isn't that type of player. He makes it to the final cutdown date at the end of camp but can't make it any further.
Jake Doughty
Best-case scenario: Coming from the ranks of Division I football, Doughty appears better prepared for the NFL than Thomas. Not only can he handle being a leader and making play calls for the second and third string units, he's a tackling machine with a nose for the football. Doughty impresses in preseason and action on both defense and special teams, the latter being his key to a roster spot. He, perhaps surprisingly, gets the final roster spot among the inside linebackers ahead of players like Barrington and Thomas.
Worst-case scenario: Doughty is overwhelmed by the NFL game. He's the type of player that only gets fouth-quarter playing time during the preseason and doesn't look as if he belongs even among the third-stringers. When fellow rookie Joe Thomas outplays Doughty, there's no reason to keep both of them around. The Utah State product is sent packing when the Packers have to cut down their roster to 75 players.
Korey Jones
Best-case scenario: It's difficult for Jones to make much of an impact being so far down the depth chart, but he quietly and solidly does his job. By no means does he stand out, but when he's out on the field during the preseason, he carries out his responsibilities. It's enough for him to escape the NFL's first cutdown date to 75 players, getting to stick around until the end of training camp and hopefully catch the eye of another NFL team because there's no room for him in Green Bay.
Worst-case scenario: Signed just days before the start of training camp, Jones finds himself behind the eight ball. He wasn't afforded the luxury of being with the team throughout the offseason program, and it shows. Whenever Jones receives playing time, he seems unsure of himself and his responsibilities. Jones hits the waiver wire before the end of training camp.
Next in the series is the cornerbacks.

Hawk and Jones best case stats look surprisingly similar to Hawks stats last year.
August 02, 2014 at 01:59 pm
I like what I'm hearing about our secondary. House and Richardson seem to be stepping up their play along with Hyde and Hayward. And Dix seems to be adjusting. I believe an argument could be made that this is the deepest, most talented secondary the Packers have had.
I also like what I'm hearing about Raji, Daniels, and Peppers so far. Like most Packers fans, I'm waiting for Datone Jones to make an impact. He seems to have the right attitude and it's only a matter of time.
With Peppers and Matthews coming off the edge, I like our front five. This year it looks like the big question will be: Can our inside linebackers play to the level of everyone else on defense?
IMO regardless of how well the rest of the defense performs if we don't improved play from our ILBers this year, it will be very difficult for us to win two playoff games.
I hope the best case scenario for at least two of the ILBers in this article comes to fruition. We then might have a serious shot at getting to another Super Bowl.
August 04, 2014 at 09:26 pm
ILB is definitely the Achilles Heel of the projected defense. If one or two of the young guys looks capable in the preseason, perhaps we should start one or both in week one just to give Hawk and/or Jones something to think about. Of course, if we don't get better NT play, it won't matter. Hopefully, Raji will handle the double teams better than Pickett did last year. A lot of "ifs" up the middle of the front seven.

Are Publishers Putting Too Much Stock In The iPad, Or Are They Just Doing It Wrong?
from the either-way-their-hopes-are-too-high dept
Jim Lillicotch points us to a post by MediaPost blogger Steve Smith, who was surprised by his 18-year-old daughter's immediate dismissal of the iPad. It may be, as he speculates, an omen of the device's future in general, but he also makes some points specifically related to the publishing industry that are worth highlighting.
"I need a keyboard. Even my phone has that." It is really all about input for her, and her focus on interactivity underscores a glaring limitation of the iPad. It is primarily a media consumption device, not an interactive device. Publishers think of digital merely as a delivery vehicle, but users think of digital as a communications and interactive platform. After a life of leaning in, why would she want to lean back and consume content just to make media companies' business models work for them?
Smith lists several drawbacks to touch-screen tablet input that probably haven't occurred to those who, like me, have never gotten the chance to use one. I still think that with the right interface and after some design iterations, iPads (and other tablets) will be excellent interactive devices, but Smith is dead right in his assessment of how publishers view them. The iPad magazine demos that some have shown off are compelling and cool, but they are mostly one-way media. This is exacerbated by the obsession with native apps, which Smith notes are much less likely to explode on the iPad the way they did on the iPhone:
Unlike the iPhone, where an app can clearly trump a mobile Web site experience, the iPad makes full Web browsing much more viable. Early audience research I have seen suggests that for even those interested in the iPad, Web browsing and email are rated far above app downloads as the device's main attraction. And so, publisher apps will be competing with their own Web sites.
This is a point we've made before: everything in these fancy magazine apps can be replicated in the browser (there is one small problem to do with scrolling that remains, but even that has nearly been solved). Publishers should be working to ensure that their product—whether it's books, magazines or newspapers—is available on every platform with minimum hassle, instead of building closed apps that frustratingly trap the user. Nobody is loyal to one publication anymore, and nobody wants a dozen different news and magazine apps littering their tablet or smartphone—they want to browse the web the way they always have. It's time for publishers to stop trying to alter user behaviour, and start learning from it.

Obama "reiterated US support for Israel's right to defend itself, and expressed regret over the loss of Israeli and Palestinian civilian lives," according to a statement on the call from the White House.
"The prime minister expressed his deep appreciation to the president and the American people for the United States' investment in the Iron Dome rocket and mortar defense system, which has effectively defeated hundreds of incoming rockets from Gaza," the statement said.
Israel was condemned on Thursday by much of the Arab world while securing Western backing and pressing its biggest air assault on Gaza for years.
IThe Israeli airforce launched three raids on targets in the Gaza Strip early on Tuesday.
Military commander of Hamas Ahmed Al-Jaabari was killed in an airstrike on the Gaza Strip on Wednesday. Islamist Hamas said Al-Jaabari, who ran the organisation's armed wing, Izz el-Deen Al-Qassam, died along with a passenger after their car was targeted by an Israeli missile.
Hamas has governed Gaza since 2007 and does not recognise Israel's right to exist. It has been emboldened by the rise to power in neighbouring Egypt of its spiritual mentors in the Muslim Brotherhood whom it views as a "safety net".
An emergency UN meeting concluded Wednesday without a decision and clear signals of concern over the first escalation of Middle East violence since the 2011 Arab Spring altered the political map of the historically volatile region.
British Prime Minister David Cameron told Netanyahu he was "extremely concerned" by violence in Gaza and urged him to do all he could to avoid civilian casualties.
French President Francois Hollande meanwhile held talks with Morsi on the phone, expressing France's "deep concern" and calling for "restraint", the president's office said. – Reuters, AFP, AP

By MATTHEW BARAKAT , 04.07.2006, 02:55 AM
One boy wanted to become an astronaut so he could go into space and find his daddy in heaven. One girl lost her father, a hero firefighter, before she was even born.
The tales of pain and devastation wrought by the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were told Thursday as prosecutors opened the second phase of their death-penalty case against Zacarias Moussaoui. Dozens of equally painful tales are expected as the trial continues.
In this second phase of the trial, prosecutors are seeking to prove Moussaoui deserves execution by highlighting the personal toll inflicted on so many on Sept. 11.
Moussaoui, the only person in this country charged in the Sept. 11 attacks, was found eligible for the death penalty Monday when a jury concluded that he directly caused at least one of the deaths on that day.
Courtroom observers and some jurors were shaken as they heard some of the victim-impact testimony.
An Nguyen was 4 years old when his father, Khang Nguyen, was killed at the Pentagon. Prosecutors showed a picture of An standing at the Pentagon gates a few days after the attack, looking for his dad.
"He became heartbroken, quiet," said An's mother, Tu Nguyen. "He didn't have enough words to express his feelings."
When An was told his dad was in heaven, An decided he wanted to become an astronaut, "so he can go into space and look for his daddy," she told the jury.
Moussaoui made light of the testimony he heard.
"No pain, no gain, America," he said at the end of Thursday's hearing.
The government's first witness, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, became choked up when he described how his longtime secretary Beth Petrone Hatton lost her husband, firefighter Terence S. Hatton, in the attacks.
A few days after Terence Hatton died, Beth Hatton learned that she was pregnant with the couple's first child.
Emotions increased when a picture of the baby girl, born in May 2002, flashed on courtroom screens.
"Terry's going to grow up without a father ... without a very special father," Giuliani said. "You can't replace that."
Bolding is mine. I hate this bastard. I hope we do execute him. Slather him in pig's blood and let a woman inject him.

Get ready to enjoy an all-day jam of live music when a wide variety of blues groups and musicians takes the stage at Reeves Park on Sept. 7 to celebrate Phoenixville's 4th annual Blues Festival.
Festival organizer and Phoenixville resident Jim DiGuiseppe said those planning the day always strive to mix a blend of different Blues genres performed by local, regional and national talent.
'This year I believe we have our best line up ever. We attended the International Blues Competition in Memphis in January and scouted a few performers who we were lucky enough to secure for this year's festival,' said DiGuiseppe.
This year, 4,000 to 5,000 fest-goers are expected to attend the Saturday festival, which will begin at noon and end at 10 p.m. The event is free to the public, and blues revelers are encouraged to bring canned goods as donations, instead of paying admission.
Said DiGuiseppe, 'The festival continues to be free to the public (because we) receive sponsorships and personal donations to make it happen. We will continue to support PACS (Phoenixville Area Community Services) and are asking for canned donations as the 'price' of admission. Our pre-party to be held at Club 212 the night before (the festival) is our biggest fundraiser and open to the public.'
Blues Festival is a rain or shine event, and although there is a hurricane rain date set aside for Sept. 9 the organizers are not expecting to need it.
Headlining the festival this year is Albert Castiglia, who can be heard on the Sirius Bluesville channel. He has played with blues legend Junior Wells, and will be performing from 7:20 p.m. until 8:35 p.m. The show will close with the Tribute to the Allman Brothers band performed by the group Hotlanta.
'We also have a harmonica clinic with harmonicas for sale and a roving brass band to play between sets. A full list of performers is available on our website and we encourage folks to come out early and stay for the day,' said DiGuiseppe.
The grounds of Reeves Park will be populated with many different vendors selling art, music memorabilia, jewelry and other wares, for people to peruse. There will also be food vendors offering BBQ, shrimp, grits, pizza, funnel cake, water ice and much more.
'We are really excited by our varied vendors and products,' said DiGuiseppe. 'This year we opened our vendor applications to allow for a few more vendors than we had in the past. Two of our performing groups also make and sell guitars and will have booths set up showing their craft. We also have Blues artists, music, jewelry, hats and many other vendors lined up.'
Festival artwork on posters and t-shirts created by local artist Sean Halloran will also be available.
'Our 'swag' has created a collectable among area residents and sells out most years,' said DiGuiseppe.
DiGuiseppe said Reeves Park provides the perfect backdrop to the festival and can accommodate the expected crowds and vendors. This year, the stage will have a new look.
'The Steel City Blues Society, in combination with bricks donated by McAvoy Brick Company, is just finishing off a new façade on the band shell. We are really looking forward to unveiling the new band shell look at the festival,' he explained.
Proceeds earned at Blues Fest go toward supporting programs in the community, including the Give the Gift of Music, PACS, Paint the Town Pink, the Phoenixville Library and other programs.
'For the first three years we have been able to provide over $30,000 back to the community. Give the Gift of Music is a scholarship program for underprivileged youth who want to experience music and we assist with lessons and instrumental rentals. Some of the recipients will be playing at this year's festival as the Blues Kings,' DiGuiseppe said.
Blues Fest continues to add flavor to an already flourishing arts and culture scene in Phoenixville, and DiGuiseppe has heard time and time again that the borough residents and event organizers appreciate having a unique and successful annual showpiece event like Blues Fest.
'It's nice to be able to provide such a great community event in a local setting. We often receive emails and messages from 'out-of-towners' indicating how great Phoenixville is and how much they enjoyed what we do. Being able to bring great talent to the event and have the band shell as a backdrop really adds to the atmosphere,' said DiGuiseppe.
More information and the complete lineup list of performers is available at www.pvilleblues.org

Vault 21 is a Vault-Tec vault that was once hidden under Las Vegas, Nevada. It has since been converted into a hotel/casino and acts as one of many sources of income for Mr. House and his young New Vegas empire.
Located in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, Vault 21 was a unique Vault experiment: everyone in the vault was equal, it was created with a perfectly symmetrical layout, and the dwellers settled their differences via games of chance. Reliance on luck to solve problems created what might be considered the perfect realization of anarchy: a society in which everyone is equal and no one has an advantage over the others. Vault-Tec ensured that every person admitted to the vault when it first sealed was a compulsive gambler and were unable to decline when Vault-Tec personnel running the vault informed them that this was how the vault was to be run. The original dwellers then passed on their lifestyle to their children and so on.
However, as with all utopias, the peace was not lasting. Sometime between 2271 and 2281, Robert House planned an occupation of Vault 21. The inhabitants split into two opposing groups, one that supports House's occupation, and one that resists it. As is tradition, they settled on gambling to reach a consensus. The game they played to settle the deal was blackjack and almost the entire vault was in attendance. After hours of grueling bets, the supporters of House won against the opposition, and Vault 21's interior was stripped of its useful electronics and equipment and partially filled in with concrete, forcing the dwellers to resettle in the wasteland and on the Strip. At Sarah Weintraub's and Michael Angelo's (a.k.a. Sheldon Weintraub) insistence, House left the topmost level intact and allowed the Weintraubs to establish a hotel there, which became another source of income for his fledgling empire.
Vault 21 is one of the extremely rare experimental vaults which successfully protected its inhabitants while fulfilling the parameters of its experiment. The experiments in most other Vault-Tec vaults ended up killing or permanently altering their inhabitants or forced the dwellers to abandon. Although Vault 3 was a control vault, intended to recolonize the surface after an extended period of time, when its door was opened the Fiends slaughtered its residents and took over.
The vault's main blast door has been transformed into a sign advertising the vault/casino. "Vault 21" is emblazoned on it in neon lights. The vault entrance is an above ground building which contains the Vault 21 gift shop. It is run by one of the only two native residents to have remained, Sarah. Stairs lead from the gift shop down into the vault.
The vault has been converted into a casino and hotel. There is a central atrium with gambling tables, a hallway with living quarters, including Sarah's room and a guest room that the player can rent. Another door leads to the cafeteria/diner. The lower levels were filled with concrete by Mr. House and are inaccessible except for the maintenance level, which is accessible from the basement of The Tops, where the Chairmen appear to have tried to break in. This level consists of a long hallway with a few small rooms branching off of it. The elevator in Benny's suite leading to it is locked unless he is attacked in the Tops Presidential suite, and the tunnel ends in another locked door.
- Sarah Weintraub
- Carlitos Wayne
- Martina Groesbeck
- Doc Mitchell (formerly)
- Michael Angelo (formerly)
Notable lootEdit
- Snow globe - The Strip - Behind an average locked door in the northeast-most room (Sarah's room). In the same room, there is a hard-locked dresser beside the bed with 270 caps and several clothes.
- An oversized toy car and a sensor module - Found in the hotel lobby.
- Strip letter 1 and Strip letter 2 - Can be found in guest rooms in the southeast.
- Strip letter 3 - Can be found in the guest room just west of the inaccessible door to the south.
- Vault lab uniform - Occasionally sold by Sarah.
Related questsEdit
- The background music is Serenity, which was originally used for Modoc in Fallout 2.
- If you have started The Finger of Suspicion, then there will be three Omerta thugs threatening Martina Groesbeck in one of the rooms.
- The Tops houses an elevator that goes down to the basement and connects via a blown open wall to the service areas of Vault 21. This elevator is normally locked and unable to be picked, but is automatically unlocked if Benny is given the chance to flee when confronting him at The Tops.
- There is a locked door at the end of a hallway in the vault that can be unlocked using console commands. An invisible part of the Vault will appear if you walk a little forward. There are no lights and this part ends-up with two staircases leading to nowhere.
- Although the theme of this vault revolves around gambling, and there are gaming tables around, it is not possible to gamble in this location.
- The doormat at the main entry of the gift shop is the same as seen in Fallout 3's Vault 112, located in front of Stanislaus Braun's Tranquility Lounger.
- No doors in this vault feature a gold stripe and the number 21, but instead are all marked "No Access". The same is true for Vault 3.
- A picture showing James and Catherine (The parents of the Lone Wanderer from Fallout 3) can be found beside a bed in Sarah Weintraub's room, although their likeness simply seemed to be recycled for that photograph like other Fallout 3 assets were.
- The lights in the vault appear very dirty and rusted, and are actually the models seen in ruined vaults, such as Vault 34.
- The eastern billiards room contains a jukebox named "Jukey The Jukebox". Other than the name, it doesn't appear to be special in any way.
- If you leave items in the locker of your room and later get the reputation of "Wild Child" for The Strip, then you cannot rent the room or retrieve the items.
- Players may make this their personal vault/home once they are given a room by Sarah.
- Vault 21 is the only known vault that does not still possess its cog-shaped blast door. Instead, the door was converted in to a sign advertising the hotel.
- Oddly enough, the current entrance to Vault 21 leads all the way to the gift shop without any apparent modifications. This would mean that, unless the current access stairs were added for the vault's hotel conversion, the gear door and entrance chamber were entirely above ground.
- If you look to the right when you walk in, you will see Vault 101's bulletins on the wall with only a couple of changes made to it, such as the Vault 101 bake off ad being changed to Vault 21.
- There is a working light switch in the player's hotel room.
- The sub-basement hallway tunnel appears incomplete when seen in the GECK, there's also a door that supposedly leads to the hallway, but it's blocked by a large chunk piece.
- There is a slightly undersized terminal in the gift shop.
Vault 21 appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenesEdit
- Vault 21 was designed by Jorge Salgado.
- Vault 21 is geographically situated in the same real world location as the former Las Vegas Hilton, now Westgate Las Vegas, which contained a municipal fallout shelter in real life.[1]
- Vault 21 may be a reference to the card game "Blackjack", where 21 is the highest sum and its limit, usually declaring an instant victory. This supports its gambling theme. It could also be a reference to 21 as the minimum legal age a person must be in order to drink and gamble, therefore reinforcing the main theme.
- Vault 21's lower levels being filled with concrete may be a subtle reference to the Silver Slipper Casino, as it was rumored that the mechanized slipper at the front of the casino was filled with concrete by Howard Hughes, the man who was the basis for Mr. House.
- James Garcia created the 3D model of the neon sign letters.[2]
- The computer in Sarah Weintraub's room contains an email from a Charlene Tann who mentions her husband Biff Tann.[3] This may be a reference to the Back to the Future trilogy, in which the antagonist is named Biff Tannen.
- The vault guest terminal advertises pool sets in the gift shop with the line "Hustle it like Minnesota Fats!" This is a reference to the novel The Hustler by Walter Tevis and its 1961 film adaptation, starring Jackie Gleason as Fats.
- PC Playstation 3 Xbox 360 If you take the tour with Sarah Weintraub, your companions may disappear and not reappear when you exit the vault.[verified]
- PC Playstation 3 Xbox 360 Sarah may not recognize Vault 21 jumpsuits as vault gear, but will trade for them normally at the usual price.[verified]
- Xbox 360 Sometimes when you take the tour with Sarah Weintraub, she will walk with you out of the gift shop and then stay still above the stairs leading to the hotel part of Vault 21 and will be unable to talk to.[verified]
- Xbox 360 Vault 21 has a high probability of causing the game to freeze during loading screens.[verified]

#1: A DJ's main squeeze
There is a growing infatuation with DJs' wives and partners. The limelight splashes over them: @ISABELADRIAN – Steve Angello's wife – is a fashion designer, author, and celebrity icon in Sweden; @DOUTZEN – wife of Sunnery James – is a Victoria's Secret model, and mom, as well as the face of multiple brands, including L'Oreal and charity ambassador for Dance for Life ; @TINYDANIELA is Tommy Sunshine's wife, former professional dancer and currently a working visual artist; and @RACQUEL_NATASHA – Avicii's girlfriend – a prominent fashion and lifestyle blogger. Let's see what level these power couples take it to next.

#2 The Rise of the Event Photographer (again)
The event photographer superstar watch is back with vengeance. @RUKES, @LIAMUNDERWORLD, @NICKYDIGITAL and @MR_650 share tens of thousands of followers on Instagram, documenting the life of the party- either on the road, from backstage, or from the audience. Sure @KirillwasHere can claim the invention of the champagne shower, among other wild and hilarious tricks, but these new-comers are making their own mark on the scene with an up close and personal and exclusive insight.

#3 Giving Back to The Crowd with Interesting Visuals
Let's start some healthy competition between DJ's by upping the anti of their set design, shall we? Three years ago, every night at the Coachella Music Festival, United Visual Artists redesigned the main stage as both a platform for performance and a standalone light and sound sculpture with experimental music. More recently, Installation artists like ConfettiSystem are starting to emerge in the nightlife scene creating, cheerful sets for artists such a Solange and the PS1/MOMA Summer Warm Up Series.
#4 Getting Intimate
A lot of DJs are beginning to try to do smaller venues at less crowded night clubs. For the fans, among a smaller crowd, it is easier to get a drink, and to feel a stronger connection to the DJ. Skrillex is partnering with Sirius to do small intimate tours and so does contribute to this intimate trend. Kaskade and Dirty South did a redux and #YourCity Tour in Cielo – a smaller dance club in Meatpacking than his previous tour at MCU park in Coney Island. Smaller venues in New York with great line-ups also include: Le Bain, Output and Verboten.
#5 Digital Meetups and Party Planning
People are meeting fellow party-goers on social medias such as Meetup.com, Reddit or Tastebuds.fm. Typically, they meet at a restaurant or bar, get to know each other, then hit the club together. Tastebuds.fm is a dating site that matches partners based on music preferences. Musical taste has become your main compass to party through the night.

Don't Replace Your Carpet! Utilize These Superb Advice To Get An Established Carpet Cleaners Company!
Should you really engage a professional to shampoo your carpet or try performing it yourself? For those who have a big region of carpeting at home, the charge and results may vary a whole lot. This information will provide you with some valuable information portland window cleaning that will help you make the best decision for your particular situation.
Take into consideration your pets as well as your children before you have your carpets cleaned. Although many companies have changed their ways, other people are still using chemicals which can be hazardous to the fitness of animals and children, which will have their face in the carpet. Determine what they normally use before you allow them to clean your carpets.
Verify the warranty on the carpets before you will have a cleaning company do any stain treatments. You could possibly void the warranty if you apply a stain treatment to some types of carpet. This may prove both costly and damaging.
For those who have a grease stain on your rug, sprinkle some flour onto it and put a piece of paper on the flour. This process will pull the grease out from the carpet and on the paper within a half-hour. Act immediately when this happens, as you do not want the grease to put in.
Keep in mind that certain chemicals might be harmful, so inquire about these. Read any cleaning product labels and consider "green" solutions like baking soda, salt or rinsing the carpet.
In order to keep the look and quality of your carpet you should tackle stains once they occur. The more time they sit, the harder it will likely be to have them out. Keep a trusted rug cleaning solution on hand so that you will not be in danger of possessing a stain remain to the lifetime of the carpet.
You may want to move furniture yourself prior to the upholstery cleaning company arrives. Although some companies do this free, many do impose a fee in the event you ask them to get it done to suit your needs. As expensive as rug cleaning could possibly get, you will want to do what you may can to save.
Baking soda is an excellent ingredient to mask unpleasant odors. Many deodorizers employed by pros are a combination of fragrance and baking soda. Save some money and simply use baking soda. If you prefer fragrance, add essential oils for the baking soda, and spread the baking soda on wax paper so that it can dry.
Look out for the "upsell". This is a common tactic of a number of carpet cleaning companies. Your carpet cleaners cost can snowball as a result of additional products available at time of service. Parts of high traffic, stain guard, and spot treatments along with many other options might be offered in the evening has started, driving your cost through the roof.
Utilizing a carpet shampoo machine takes lots of time and effort, and you might not view the results you want. Would it be really worth the extra expense to employ a professional rug cleaning company? Your best option for an individual else is probably not your best option to suit your needs, so adhere to the tips you read in the following paragraphs making your best decision.

This group does not have any discussions yet.
The first essay in my book, Pot Stories, the one with the marijuana plant to the right, deals with Cardinal Ratzinger's intervention in the American presidential election of 2004. Thanks to his clever manipulation the American bishops and public opinion, a virtual imbecile became "our leader" ("tyrant" is not the word, I prefer "imbecile" As atheist comedian, Doug Stanhope says: What the fuck do we need leaders for?). The country has been suffering ever since and still involved in a meaningless and surreal war in Afghanistan, while Iraq will never be the same. A trillion dollars, the estimated cost of the war, could have been used for human needs—like feeding the hungry and housing the homeless, as well as building schools, hospitals and fixing the infrastructure.
The outcome of the story is the headline: THERE ARE NO PRIESTS LISTED ON THE NATIONAL LIST OF SEX OFFENDERS. Read the essay for the whole story; I couldn't have made it up.
What are the chances of sending pedophiles of the clothe to jail if we can't even get them on the sex offender list?
One thing is for sure, we'll have to break down the hypocrisy and dishonesty of Congress and then enact fair laws. Imagine, just two congresspersons, Pete Stark and Barney Frank, both out of office, had the gumption to declare the truth about their disbelief. That's out of 535 congresspersons altogether. And that's when about 15%, at least, of the general American population state NONE as their religion. We would expect 80 senators and representatives; we have zero.
It's pretty clear it's the system itself that's debauched, not only the priesthood.
Don't need hell, really. All we need is this:
Hell will seem tame, given those conditions.
I am not a Catholic Atheist, I'm a Prostentant Atheist. I was raised in a Southern anti-Catholic, antisemitic, rascist, and non-denomiational church. Literature on sexual malfeasance of priests and nuns was a part of my daily experience just as I first read the Protocols of the Elder's of Zion as the truth about the worldwide Jewish conspiracy and that Martin Luther King wasn't a 'real Christian'...just like President Obama isn't to this day by these people.
Growing up in the home of a self-ordained preacher and suffering sexual, physical, psychological and mental abuse by my father, my mother and my only brother...being considered the 'problem child' for having what I know now to have been a perfectly normal sexual life...being victimized then blamed for the 'problem' of me being normal in a family of people sick and twisted by their religion.
At least when a priest abuses you he's a 'spiritual' father in name only and not your biological father.
Prison for predatory priests? Of course. Just as a priest who robs a liquor store should be...and has a lot better chance of being... held accountable for his crime.
People who cover up for the crime of another aren't 'protecting', that's too kind and inaccurate. They are accomplices, before and after, to the crime. They are co-conspirators. The same racketeering laws used against the Mafia should be applied. Their crime is worse because they cannot even hide behind the rubric of sociopathological mental illness. What they do is cold-blooded and without excuse.
Jail them, if you can. Put them away from polite society in a place where they cannot ruin the lives of innocent children. A 'No-Kill' shelter would be an apt analogy if it wasn't offensive to the animals to lump them together with these creatures.
But the brutal fact is you cannot even get these virginfuckers to admit they've done anything wrong.
God, I miss believing in Hell!
Thank you Joan for your kind reply. Since we veered from the subject of imprisoning priests, I sent you a personal note elsewhere.
ooppss. That should have been: support of victims of crimes is one step.
Problem predatory priests abuse our children and must be stopped. Further, they must be held accountable for their crimes. Now, how does one support that effort while not personally affected by it. Obviously, letters in support of victims of crimes is one stop, and gathering petitions for changes at the legislative level is another. Speaking out and joining with others in support of accountability and making our demands for transparency understood. Withholding funds to churches is for others to do since I am an atheist and have not supported church activity for years; however, I can make my thinking known in a public and private way.
Darn it Dogly, you are right! Being in the matrix, I did't question and I should have. Good for you for standing up to me and challenging me on my value system. You are absolutely correct. Thank you very much.
I was born into a farming family and spent part of my life living above a butcher shop; I went daily to the slaughter house and did my chores. I don't have the sensitivity to cruelty that I can now develop.
Yes, I participated in animal experiments. I observed as animals sufferd. I caused some animals to suffer. For that I was wrong. Your powerful words, sharp rebuke and clear expression of disdain has my attention and my respect. Thank you.
You say "we" still use these training techniques. No, not "we". I spend my life trying to stop you. You are not "pleased"? You say these studies were "forced", and that your husband also "had to" . No, you each chose to abuse and torture sentient beings for your own interests. There is an ethical answer. But ethics are required to choose it. Less selfishness and more compassion and empathy would help. If something is cruel, the fact that it is useful to you does not make it ethical. No excuses!
Dogly, yes, we did, and they still do use these training techniques. I am not pleased about that; I learned first hand how easily depression can be taught. It opened my eyes to the whimpers I used to hear from both my grandmothers and mother. Depression, anxiety and learned helplessness go together.
When I received my training, research on prisoners of war from WW II, Korean War and Viet Nam war were forcing studies of depression and its causes. Basic research on pigeons, dogs, monkeys, octopus, fish, helped to broaden understanding of the links between the brain and body, heredity, environmental stresses and physical pain.
When my former husband was in dental school he had to learn how to use anesthesia and they used dogs. Well, would you rather he learn on human beings? What is the moral answer? What alternatives are there?
Torture? Yes! Do we need to repeat torturing any living thing to understand depression or learned helplessness or anxiety? No, watching films demonstrates the principles.
Sorry, I couldn't find any of the films used in my training, and maybe it is just as well. It is heartbreaking to watch a baby monkey deprived of mother love clutch to a piece of carpet for comfort.
Making animals depressed IS a torture technique.

text: At first blush, I thought the ADT purchase price for FirstService's security business was something of a steal. They paid (an announced) $187 million for a business that did roughly $200 million in revenue last year (theoretically - it's not broken out on FirstService's financials). So, less than 1x 12 months trailing revenues, that's pretty good, I'm thinking. But then Frank Brewer said that only about 10-11 percent of that revenue was service-based. So, that's $22 million on the high side, which is just $1.83 million of RMR (theoretically - hard to know what of that is contracted and what is one-time fees). So, if you calculate as a multiple of RMR, you've got $187m/$1.83m of RMR, which leaves you with a multiple of 102x. Obviously, this isn't an RMR-based business, and ADT is keeping the management (FirstService Security CEO Frank Brewer will be the head of a new integration division at ADT) and a lot of clients and expertise, but there's still no guarantee that SST and Intercon will continue to create new business at their past rates, and there's likely to be at least some attrition in the sales and engineering forces, as there can be during an acquisition. Now I kind of wonder if ADT overpaid a bit, especially in this economy. Money people, feel free to tear me down.

News, reviews and photographs of Modern Fashion Dolls including Kingdom Doll, Fashion Royalty, Sybarite, Tonner Doll, Gene Marshall, Barbie and my own experiences as a doll collector.
The Bottom Line
So what's their problem?
*Separate yourself from the product. It's not about you. Face the fact that nothing is perfect and no one is 100% correct either. Move on.*
7 comments:
There have been many times that I've looked at publicity photos and passed...then seen a "real" photo on your site or another collector's and changed my mind.ReplyDelete
You would think they would appreciate constructive criticism from someone who obviously KNOWS what they're talking about. If they want a automaton, they should put you on the payroll!ReplyDelete
You annoyed someone with a review Terri? Bad for them. If they cannot learn from criticism let them be. I got lots of flak for my Tonner presentation in my blog from die-hard Tonner fans who think all product is perfect. Well we beg to differ. Keep up the good work.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous2/19/10, 2:48 PM
Stratos - your "review" was a straight up trashing of the entire line, what did you expect? Don't start off a review saying you're going to talk about what you liked and then proceed to talk about how you hated everything. If you hate everything, just be honest about it instead of some pretense of objectivity. Tonner is FAR from perfect but that was just a bitter and meanspirited review.ReplyDelete
Terri, you offer very thoughtful and reasoned commentary and it's too bad that some companies are not equipped to deal with that.
nicolars, since I mention at least ten dolls/outfits I like from the 2010 line up I don't find it trashing. I will not say more since this is Terri's blog, if you want to discuss it more, e-mail me.ReplyDelete
- Marina2/19/10, 7:20 PM
We all know what the problem is, Terri. It's a lack of discernment on the part of many fashion doll collectors, coupled with an agenda and/or industry connections, that requires these people to attempt to control all discourse. Collectors who are TRULY passionate about this hobby understand this, and turn to blogs such as yours (and Stratos') for your take on the current releases. Please keep up the good work!ReplyDelete

Note to marketers only - There is a growing interest in silver. It's no secret that prices have been rising due to limited supply and more demand. Yet, only 4% of the population currently own precious metals. You do the math.
More and more people are becoming interested in owning silver. They need to know about the program where a little can give you a lot of silver.
SilverSnowball is a smart way to begin. Feel real money in your hands again. And if you share the good news you can create a steadily growing stream of highest quality .999 fine silver delivered to your door.
|I understand that I will receive monthly One 4 Bit (1/2 Oz) .999 Walking Liberty
Brilliant Uncirculated Silver Round. ("Rounds" look like "coins". The difference is to
be called a coin it must be government issued while rounds are privately minted.)

Silver Snowball Silver Subscription
Price $35.50
When you combine economic reality of the Dollar losing value; with increasing prices on food, gas and goods; and the shortage of silver…
It creates The Perfect Storm...
And, where there is Crisis there is Opportunity.
Special Timely Notice - There have been periods of very high demand for silver coins and rounds and very little supply. Shortages have occurred and could happen again at any time. At Silver Snowball we continue to keep the silver coming to you without any delays.
How To Get Silver At Lower Prices - The price of your silver acquired goes down as you find people who purchase silver through your website. That's because if you include the free bonus silver you earn along with the silver you purchase your total cost per ounce of silver received is going down. There is no limit how low the price can go.
Many members are receiving these "discounted" silver rounds based on our simple marketing / silver bonus system - essentially paying MUCH LESS than getting silver elsewhere. Although we can not know how successful you will be and not every person who joins finds subscribers, we can say that our simple silver getting system works for those who work it. And, there are many who purchase more than one 4 Bit Walking Liberty Silver Divisible a month, happy to just build their collection of silver with our convenient purchasing program.
And on top of all that you receive SSB News - our monthly newsletter that said two weeks after the stock market made its all time high that stocks could crash by 50% within two years. We were a little conservative with that call since it only took a year. What's the value of saving our subscribers half of their retirement savings? (No guarantees that every forecast will be correct but many are.) And members rave about our superb, responsive, caring and fast customer service. We answer our emails and phone calls. We want you to succeed.
Here's what Michael Maloney, the author of RichDad's Advisors Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver, had to say when the chart was "only" at $1.5 trillion in late 2008:
"[This is] a chart of the monetary base (all paper dollars and coinage in existence). It took 200-years for the monetary base to go from $0 to $800 billion, but in just the past 3-months it has grown from around $800 billion to $1.5 trillion, and by the time you read this it will probably be surpassing $1.6 trillion. That's double the number of paper dollars in existence since last summer!"
It turns out Mike was a little too conservative as the more recent chart below shows the monetary base has hyperinflated to 1.7 trillion, with no signs of stopping.
What might the above chart mean for you? Here's what Brent Harmes wrote in an issue of the GoldSilver Newsletter:
In Mike's book he shows how past precious metals bull market have continued until the value of the gold ounces held by the government rises in price to equal the value of the currency supply at the time. And this has not even come close to happening yet.
What he (Mike Maloney) said in the newsletter:
And it could happen very quickly. No one knows exactly how this will play out.
We want to point out that the historical relationship between gold and silver can reach 16 to 1, meaning that it would take 16 ounces of silver to buy one ounce of gold. At Silver Snowball we've got nothing against gold. But . . . theoretically speaking since we don't have a crystal ball, and there are no guarantees that history will repeat itself like it's done over and over, it implies that if gold were to go to $10,000 an ounce due to the hyperinflationary looking explosion of the monetary base as shown in the above chart it would mean silver could go to $625 an ounce.
Or, if the monetary base were to reverse its 50 year trend (possible if the U.S. government stops spending any money and eliminates all U.S. debt), silver might pull back in price. Or, when the public finds out silver is more rare than gold (according to Ted Butler there is about 4 times more gold than silver in the world since silver has been mostly "used up" as an industrial metal) perhaps silver could someday be worth as much or more than gold.
According to CPM Group, the total global inventory for silver bullion is 1.9 billion ounces. This includes 711moz in futures exchanges, 38moz government stocks, 941moz in coin form and the rest in inferred & unreported private holdings. Based on the CPM estimate Dr Alex Cowie, the Editor of Diggers & Drillers writes "The world�s silver bullion would fit in a cube measuring just 17.9 metres on each side." What might happen if some (or a lot) of the many silverless people in the world suddenly decided they wanted some of that "cube" of silver? Do you think your silver might become worth more? Isn't it a good idea to get some NOW?
Again, we are not offering a prediction or investment recommendation...
Our only recommendation is if you like the idea of getting some silver today and want to build a growing collection you should join Silver Snowball.
Join our Silver of the Month program. Get silver. Earn silver. Be in the growing silver business. Start your SilverSnowball rolling and create an avalanche of silver.

EMINA-2: Advancing the European Multidisciplinary Initiative on Neuroacanthocytosis: Dissecting the molecular pathophysiology of Chorea-Acanthocytosis
Neuroacanthocytosis (NA) syndromes are a group of rare disorders displaying neurodegeneration and misshaped spiky red blood cells (acanthocytes). NA syndromes include Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc), McLeod syndrome (MLS), Huntington's disease-like 2, and pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) with ChAc as the prototype of this disease family. The European Multidisciplinary Initiative on Neuroacanthocytosis (EMINA-1) funded by the E-Rare-program 2009 provided detailed clinical characterization of the different NA syndromes and collected valuable brain and muscle tissue samples of ChAc patients.
Based on the successful EMINA-1 network, the EMINA-2 consortium brings together 5 Young Investigators from leading European laboratories (Austria, The Netherlands, Germany, Israel) in the fields of human cell models (induced pluripotent stem [iPS] cells), neurodegeneration, erythrocyte biology, as well as murine and Drosophila ChAc models with the aim to explore in depth the molecular pathophysiology of ChAc and translate this knowledge into new curative therapeutic approaches.
