I'd be interested, price depending. I'd like to see just the brass ring available. If not that, then the switch/ring combo.

Interested in kit!
I'm interested in a G2/3 tailcap with a McClicky!
Okay, now I feel like a total noob.
Could someone please enlighten me as to what the advantages of this upgrade would be? (clearly I'm not reading enough CPF lately)
Mucho thanks
I am interested in at least two installed in Z41's with and alternative boot color.
You should also explore at the very the possibility of offering these for the large button tailcaps as well.
Very interesting. I'll probably pick up some up ...depending on the price (can't have too many spares)
We hope to have upgrade kits available in the next 2 weeks.
If these prove popular, we will ramp up production accordingly.
As with all our stuff, the goal is continuous availability with the highest possible quality.
You are welcome to order one to try out and then return under our guarantee.
Kits will be in the low $20's.
We have no immediate plans to offer just the rings, but they would be in the $10's (teens).
Extra boots will be offered for a nominal price and all kits will include one of any available color.
These kits replace the twisty mechanism with one that operates like a traditional flashlight, press a little for momentary, press a lot (until click) to keep it on. Complete clicky metal tailcaps are available, but for $40+.
These cost less while maintaining the original look and color match. Particularly useful with custom hosts and G series lights. Putting a Z59 on a G2, for example, can double its price.
These also work specifically with the McClicky, the preferred clicky mechanism of CPF.

I would be in for at least 2 or 3 kits.
TigerLight Vers II, ASP Triad, SF Z2, M3, L6, A2, Inova T2,**9-11-01 "Let's Roll"**
I should be running in the neighborhood of 3.5 amps.
In Post #17, I wrote that the McClicky switch specs are claimed to be 12V, 4A, 10000 cycles. 3.5A could be ok, depending on what voltage you will apply.
One kit please , good work guys
Sounds like a definite upgrade, thanks for the information.
I will take a complete z41 with McClicky Tailcap as soon as you are ready to sell them.
New to being a Flashoholic but have always had a taste for the good stuff. I edc a Malkoff MD2 with M60W or Surefire C2 with m61. XM-18 along with Victorinox cybertool 29 and Leatherman crunch.
Sure thing!
A few more images to share
I'd be interested in the kits
Z41 HA not regular sorry forgot to clarify.

With a part like this it's not a question of if you want one it's just how many do you want.
Interested in 1 Z41 in HA-III grey with clicky installed.

Within reason.
I´m interested in the Mc Clicky Kits.
Very cool - I'm interested in a McClicky kit (or perhaps a turnkey switch) as well as an 18650 bore job on my 6PL ... when can I sign up for both?
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
bore batch C to include clicky upgrades.
You'll just send in both and get the body back bored and the Z41 back with clicky installed.
wrong thread!

'SNL': Mick Jagger Performs Rolling Stones Songs with Foo Fighters and Arcade Fire
Mick Jagger was joined by other rock luminaries including Jeff Beck, Foo Fighters and Arcade Fire during his stint hosting the season finale of 'Saturday Night Live,' where the Rolling Stones frontman proved adept at not just music, but comedy and political punditry as well.
The boys who fight foo and Arcade Fire joined him for a medley of '19th Nervous Breakdown' and 'It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It),' while Arcade Fire also backed Jagger on 'The Last Time,' 'She's Like a Rainbow' and 'Ruby Tuesday.'
The latter songs were done during a graduation-themed sketch likely meant as a farewell to 'SNL' cast member Kristen Wiig, the 'Bridesmaids' mastermind believed to be exiting the show for greener pastures.
Jagger also deadpanned during a karaoke bit while others did Stones songs, and teamed up with Beck for the bluesy 'Tea Party,' which Jagger wrote about the upcoming election.
"If you want to sleep in the West Wing, you got to strategize a bit," Jagger sang. "Who will be the president come November? Well, it's anyone's guess … After six months, he'll be screaming, 'Get me out of this mess.'"

Obese Guantanamo inmate loses court fight on care
MIAMI (AP) — A federal court has declined to get involved in a dispute over medical care for an obese prisoner in declining health at the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
Lawyers for Tarek El-Sawah were claiming that doctors at the U.S. base in Cuba were not adequately treating the Egyptian prisoner for ailments that included a lung condition and possible heart disease. They said his health was so bad it was interfering with their ability to represent him in a challenge to his confinement.
Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled the threshold hadn't been met for the court to intervene and that the military had addressed the medical concerns. The ruling was publicly released in recent days.
Marine Lt. Col. Sean Gleason, his military lawyer, said Tuesday that the 400-pound prisoner's health has shown improvement.

May is National Bike Month, a celebration of all things cycling, so it seemed like the perfect time to chat with our great cycling advocacy partners who work hard to make riding bikes better. Every week this month we will introduce you to a different group that is making a difference here in the US. First up is Andy Clarke, President of the League of American Bicyclists.
What's the goal of your organization?
The mission of the League is to lead the movement to create a Bicycle Friendly America for everyone. We believe that bicycling brings people together, and that as more people ride life is better for everyone; communities are safer, stronger and better connected; and our nation is healthier, economically stronger, environmentally cleaner and more energy independent. We want everyone to enjoy the benefits and opportunities of bicycling. I've been with the organization for more than ten years, and I feel like our mission is more relevant and valuable now than ever. ( I can't speak for the entire time since we were founded in 1880!)
What projects are you working on currently?
Today, we aim to achieve those goals through advocacy, education, and promotion. We have a national advocacy presence in Washington DC where we work with Congress and the Federal agencies to ensure funding, policies and programs are in place to build a more bicycle-friendly America. We run the Bicycle Friendly Community (and Business, University and States) program that recognizes cities for their work but more importantly provides a roadmap or blueprint for becoming much more bike-friendly. On the education side, we run the only national certification program (with curricula and materials) for bike education experts — we currently have around 2,000 active League Cycling Instructors sharing their passion and knowledge for safe cycling with anyone that will listen!
Events like National Bike Month, Bike to Work Day, and the National Bike Challenge fall into the promotion category along with the extraordinary volume and variety of rides that our 900+ affiliated local clubs and advocacy groups put on year-round. The National Bike Challenge has to be the most inspiring way of getting more people riding. Every year we are blown away by the stories of lives transformed by participation in the Challenge. We love it and hope you are signed up and part of the Challenge. And as if that weren't enough, we are also actively engaged in promoting greater participation by women in bicycling, the bike movement, and the bike industry.
What actions can I take locally to make the experience of cycling better in my community?
In each of those areas, there are ways for individual cyclists and local organizations to plug in and take action. You can sign up for action alerts — both national and local "calls to action" when we need the voice of cyclists to be heard — or attend the National Bike Summit each March to be part of the advocacy team. We have scorecards you can use to do a quick analysis of your community or business to determine how bike-friendly they are; every BFC and BFB application generates specific feedback — we encourage you to join your local advocacy group to get plugged in there. If you can't stop talking about bikes and bike riding and safety…maybe you need to share that passion with others by becoming an instructor. If you aren't quite ready for that, the classes those LCIs teach are full of great advice whatever your level of experience.
Having said all that, there are TWO really simple things you can do to make your community more bike friendly. Number one: ride your bike. Number two, write to your Mayor, County Executive or Council member and tell them you care about bicycling and want bicycling to be better. Throw in a couple of specific examples of improvements, and you are on the way!

In our modern city life, it is almost impossible to tread a single step without taking the help of certain technological boons, and one such is credit card - a small rectangular piece of plastic, which has revolutionized the entire spectrum of monetary transactions throughout the globe. The credit card serves a lot of purposes, the basic one being to ease the burden of carrying hard cash everywhere, and to transact without cash. This concept of digital money has not only eased business and boosted global trade and commerce, but also has helped the end users, i.e. us. Just imagine the situation we faced even a decade back, standing at large queues at bank in order to withdraw a meagre amount of our hard earned money. And the process not only involved standing at queues, but involved quite a bit of complex paperwork as well, keeping aside the precious working hours wasted in this process.
The arrival of credit cards not only eased all of these mentioned problems, but it also opened a whole new world of opportunities in front of us. In this article we will discuss about that topic. As the rapid popularity of credit cards spread like wildfire throughout the globe, one after another key banking player introduced the system for their customers, which further boosted their prospects. In a very short span of the time credit cards became a global phenomenon.
Coming to the Indian scenario, ICICI Bank gained the most out this situation as it captured the nascent market with all its strength and might. Even in face of growing competition from other banks, ICICI Bank has been able to maintain the edge till now, and whatever might be the place. Credit cards by ICICI are all time favorites for customers. This is because of their immense experience in creating and advertising credit cards in the financial market.
Credit cards are classified according to the added benefits they command apart from serving their prime purpose. We all know that platinum is the most expensive ornamental metal that we have at our disposal, dethroning gold and silver. Thus it is very easy and simple to deduce that a credit card belonging to the platinum range commands much more benefit than a gold or silver range. And not only has that, the platinum range credit cards also enhanced the social stature of the person owning it, increasing his social value. Apart from the classification in accordance to metals, the credit cards of the visa series are highly flexible and can be used anywhere in this world. For example a couple from Gurgaon, on a vacation in Paris can use their visa credit card to buy stuffs from Paris, without even changing their money into local currency.
Apart from this ease, credit cards also bring a lot of hidden gifts, such as guaranteed discount on dining bills from selected restaurants; e-commerce sites regularly give discounts on purchases using a credit card. And in this ball game, the credit cards from ICICI Bank commands much more benefits, due to their tie-ups with a large number of restaurants, e-commerce sites and travel chains such as Makemytrip, Domino's, Pizza Hut and so on.
So to simplify things, it can be said that the ICICI Bank credit cards not only ease the burden of carrying hard cash with you, wherever you go, it also brings in a lot of added benefits in form of customer loyalty. If you are from a metro city like Gurgaon, then to experience all the nuances of the ever glowing city life, you must have it .

I haven't seen anyone yet say don't socialize the dog/puppy. No one has said that's a bad idea. What I saw was one persons preference when choosing a dog for a specific purpose. I think the information here on why socialization is a good thing...is a good thiing.
While I don't think what you are doing can hurt, this kind of stuff is not something I am into for pups. But I recognize that I come from a totally different viewpoint than rescue.
Best of luck with the litter. I hope that all this socialization and exposure gets you what you are looking for.
airwalk wrote:I guess I read it differently. I don't read that as saying it's a bad idea...it's just not the way she works with or chooses pups. That's kind of why I think this is getting too personal.
True temperament flaws can't be undone...simply coping skills taught.
airwalk wrote:Christine, you're right you ended up teaching Mick some amazing coping skills and were able to get him to a place where he could be treated; however, you must admit that was with conditions. The primary one being that you were right there with him.
While you can help train and teach coping skills and desensitize, it is frankly way easier to train if you begin with the best raw dog you can find.

Regarding working dogs: I see a lot of people who wash out dogs with "environmental issues" because they either have no idea how to train or don't want to be bothered with it. Most people these days are just into drive manipulation and don't want to problem solve, hence the second the dog shows any issues it gets washed out. Dog sport competitors go through prospects like crap through a goose. The new dog is the greatest, awesome genetics, naturally full, hard grips, environmentally sound, etc. Then six months down the road the dog is sold or retired because of a "genetic" issue...but the NEW dog is the greatest, awesome genetics, etc. Silly, really, because I've seen dogs with all kinds of "issues" who show no interest in bitework at all explode at 18 months into solid workhorses.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (Apr. 21, 2008) — Seven students at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University have been selected as 2008-2009 North Carolina Albert Schweitzer Fellows.
The students, who just finished their first year of medical school, will commit to a year of service with a community agency, devoting more than 800 hours to local communities lacking access to adequate health services.
Below are the students' names and their service projects:
--Ashley Alexander and Ying Zhang will create a series of therapeutic programs to improve the quality of life and emotional well-being of adults undergoing cancer treatment in Greenville and staying at the Hope Lodge.
--Anita Unnithan and Brandy Edwards will develop and implement a first aid program for children ages 8-11 at various community sites throughout Greenville such as the Summer Significant Academy Club of the United Way. The purpose of START (Stop, Think, & Act Responsibly Today) First Aid is to introduce topics such as emergency action steps, rescue breathing, the Heimlich maneuver, how to stop bleeding and treat wounds as well as self-protective measures in a hands-on, interactive manner.
--Brandon Yarns and Nancy Shinouda will develop and conduct a pediatric pre-operative class and tour at Pitt County Memorial Hospital for children scheduled for surgery to lessen their fears or anxieties concerning the surgical experience.
--Laura Wolfe will create an after-school program at the Little Willie Center for children to learn to plant and grow a vegetable garden and incorporate healthy habits into their lifestyles.
"There is a big need in eastern North Carolina for controlling obesity and getting more exercise, and also I think there's not a lot of opportunity to get fresh fruits and vegetables," Wolfe said.
Seventeen other graduate students from health professional schools in North Carolina also received fellowships. Schweitzer Fellows continue their education while participating in the entry-year of the Schweitzer Fellows Program.
The first U.S.-based Schweitzer Fellows Program was founded in Boston in 1991, and the second was in North Carolina in 1994. Other programs are in Baltimore, Chicago, New Hampshire/Vermont, Pittsburgh, the Delaware Valley and San Francisco. Nearly 240 North Carolina Schweitzer Fellows have completed the program.

RIM Loses Another Patent Case, Told To Pay $147.2 Million
from the live-by-the-patent,-die-by-the-patent dept
Of course, what some people forget is that RIM brought much of this on itself. Before NTP even came on the scene, it was RIM who started suing a bunch of other companies for patent infringement, based on its broad portfolio of patents around wireless email and mobile devices. On top of all that, RIM's business is collapsing. The company is fighting for relevancy as its latest operating system has been delayed -- and there's growing evidence that even once it comes out, no one's going to care about it.
RIM can try to put a nice spin on things, but it seems clear that the company is in serious trouble. Perhaps, next time, it will focus on improving its products more than getting caught up in the patent game. Yes, many of these more recent lawsuits came from it getting sued, but there's no doubt that RIM drew a lot of attention to itself early on with its own patent lawsuits against others.

Soma-An Experience in Psychoacoustic Healing- Cassette
Sale Price:
This item can not be gift wrapped.
Soma- An Experience in Psychoacoustic Healing by Tom Kenyon M.A. "Psychoacoustic" audio processes elicit powerful physical and psychological responses. More than 15 years of clinical experience led Tom Kenyon, musician and psychotherapist, to breakthrough discoveries in the use of music for relaxation, enhanced well-being, inner exploration and physical and emotional balance. Soma incorporates embedded "Bio-Pulses" into a calming ambient soundtrack. These subtle pulses of osund are designed to stimulate your brain to produce alpha and theta brainwave states, associated with deep relaxation, meditation and creative dream states. Vocal "toning' techniques create a resonance which expands the inner field of awareness for creative processes. Soothing musical timbres and harmonic intervals based on ancient Greek models are combined to enhance healing. Finally, Kenyon uses "essentic musical forms" to elicit emotions such as love, joy and compassion in the listener. The physiological changes that occur with these emotional responses have been associated with enhanced immune function and deep relaxation.

She Won't Let the Sea Swallow More Lives
Yayi with a photo of her son
I am standing on the beach in Thiaroye-sur-mer, a destitute fishing town near the Senegalese capital, Dakar. Littered with fish heads, broken shoes, plastic buckets and filthy rags, the beach looks like a dump. At the ocean's edge, colorful canoes sit in a neat line on the sand. In years past local fishermen brought home their bounty in these boats. Now desperate Senegalese take them on harrowing, often deadly voyages on the open Atlantic Ocean in search of jobs. For countless young men, these fragile vessels have become floating coffins. I stare at the tiny boats they call pirogues in disbelief; I just can't imagine sailing an angry ocean on what looks like a bath toy.
Yayi Bayam Diouf, 49, looks out at the horizon. In February 2006 her 27-year-old son, Alioune Mar, set off, hoping to reach the Spanish Canary Islands hundreds of miles away and from there, make it to mainland Europe. Yayi had mixed feelings about her son's choice. She knew his trip would be treacherous, but "we didn't have any jobs here," she explains in French. Hours before Alioune Mar's journey, Yayi spoke to him by cell phone. "He asked me to pray for his safe passage," she says.
Yayi learned of her son's death days later, when a cousin in the Canary Islands called her with the news. Spanish patrols had found her son's wrecked boat split in two. "Shoes and cooking gear were floating in the water," Yayi says. "But everyone in the boat had been swallowed by the ocean." By everyone she means 81 young men from Thiaroye. The oldest was 30 years old.
Yayi's cousin had asked her to inform the other families. First she told town officials, who made an announcement at the local mosque. Then she went door-to-door, grieving with neighbors for children she had helped raise. That nightmare experience galvanized Yayi, who is now fighting to keep the next generation of Senegalese home, safe and hopeful for the future.
According to the International Organization for Migration, nearly 32,000 illegal immigrants (mostly young men from West Africa) arrived on the Canary Islands in 2006, with many others dying at sea. From Thiaroye alone, says Yayi, almost 400 men died or disappeared during doomed sea voyages in the past year; another 200 were caught by Spanish authorities and returned home, alive but destitute. Smugglers who organize the illicit boat trips might charge the equivalent of $1,300, or about six months of wages. The job seekers and their families often spend all of their savings to pay for the trip.
Only deep misery could provoke such an exodus. Unemployment in Thiaroye, a town of about 45,000, is estimated at 80 percent, about double the national average. Fishing was once the backbone of the country's coastal economy. Then, in the early 1980s, Senegal reached a fishing agreement with the European Union, which brought massive foreign trawlers to the waters off West Africa. "Everything changed," Yayi says. "Some people keep fishing, but our equipment can't compete." Families just can't survive.
In this Muslim community, 95 percent of men are polygamous. Yayi's own father had four wives, and she grew up in a house with more than 20 brothers and sisters. "Many families have more than 60 members," she says. When fathers retire, emigrate, get sick or die, the eldest son is often responsible for supporting his entire family—these young men make up most of the passengers in the smugglers' boats. As one young man who tried to leave last year said, "I have four sisters and a little brother, and I am the breadwinner. I didn't want to stay here to do nothing."
Among the few women who have attempted the dangerous voyage is Awa, a 24-year-old hairdresser. "I was more afraid to stay than to leave, even in that fashion," she says. Many of her fellow passengers died during the 10-day journey. Awa was plucked from the water by authorities and sent home. She shrugs as if shaking off the hopelessness that characterizes the youth in the village, but comes to life again when we talk hair—she hates mine. "How can you live with so many curls, is what I wonder," she says. When I leave, my heart breaks as I see in Awa's stare a longing for the freedom I enjoy. In two days, she seems to be thinking, you will be in the West and don't even know your luck.
Yayi mourned her son's death for 40 days, feeling a whirlwind of pain and anger. "All through that process I saw that boys kept leaving," she says. Fed up, Yayi spoke out. First she met with the all-male town council, something no woman had done before. After losing her only son, Yayi had no fear left. "I told the council what they didn't want to hear," she says. "Emigration is killing us."
Since the male town leaders were doing nothing, Yayi decided that it was up to women to solve the problem. So she created the Women's Association Against Clandestine Emigration. Two years later her group has 357 members, mostly mothers from Thiaroye who have lost sons at sea. Many women say they feel guilty for having helped fund the trips that killed their children, and with Yayi, they are determined to prevent more dying.
Yayi's association began to patrol the beach and report smugglers to police. "Because of our work, five men are in prison," Yayi says. The women also meet weekly with young men to try to persuade them not to risk the perilous journey to Europe. So far, Yayi says, her group has convinced more than 300 youths to stay in Senegal. And her work is gaining notice; Yayi has spoken at conferences in Madrid, Dakar and the Canary Islands about the dangers of illegal migration, and is lobbying leaders in West Africa and Europe for small business loans that could give young people an incentive to stay home.
To help employ impoverished mothers and widows of men who died at sea, Yayi also started a small mussel-selling business. The women work as a team, gathering, cleaning and cooking mussels; then they sell them and share the meager profits. "There are things Africa can teach the world," Yayi tells me with pride. "Togetherness is one."
In Yayi's office her son's photo hangs above her tiny desk. Outside in the yard I can hear the rhythmic banging of the women's small machetes as they clean mussels. At lunchtime everyone sits on the floor and eats handfuls of a spicy rice and fish dish. As we eat, a woman starts dancing with no music. And when her tears start, it feels like a hundred hands want to reach out and dry them.
When Cheikh, 21, was sent home by authorities in 2006 for the second time, he went straight to Yayi. For hours she consoled him by saying that he could be valuable to his country. Yayi is convinced that the solution to poverty in Senegal is for young people to stay and work. But jobs are scarce, and many who leave make a better living in Europe. On one dirt street I notice a two-story home with arcade windows under construction. "Some of us make it," says Cheikh, explaining that the owner works in Italy. What Yayi is up against can be summarized in the motto of would-be immigrants: "Barcelone or Barxax," or "Barcelona or Death." Still, Yayi got through to Cheikh, who is now an ally in her efforts. "She is my lifeline," Cheikh says.
In late afternoon the village is bathed in a golden light. With Cheikh, I meet Bara, a man in his thirties who is set to leave by boat the next day. Despite Cheikh's protests, Bara says he must go to feed his family. "How do you feel?" I ask. "In charge," he replies.
Back at Yayi's home, which she shares with her two adult daughters, Yayi feeds goats that belonged to her son. I tell her that I once hosted a French radio show about immigration. I loved reporting on the irrepressible ebb and flow of humanity across the planet. I met immigrants who were dreamers and adventurers; others who were fleeing hunger, war or political repression in their native lands. All were resilient survivors.
I remember one guest on my show, a Senegalese immigrant who read aloud this story: "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle; when the sun comes up, you'd better be running." Yayi laughs, a generous but pained laugh. "The question is, what are we running after? What about we start running after our own assets?" she says, meaning the ones found at home, in Senegal. These were the words of a grieving mother, echoed by more grieving mothers who pray the continent will listen to the silent plea of those who died at sea. As Yayi told me: "In the end, they were looking for dignity."

Melges 32 Magic at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week
21 August 2012
For the second year the Audi Hamilton Island Race Week has kick started the 2012-13 Melges 32 regatta schedule. It's hard to top a regatta that has everything, great atmosphere, entertainment, friends, family, quality competition, tight one design racing in an amazing location. The Melges 32 is like a pig in mud racing around the islands of the Whitsundays.
Last Sunday evening, Angus Reid, owner of Maxstar was awarded winner of the prestigious Melges 32 Asia Pacific Cup for the 2011-12 Series. Hamilton Island Yacht Club hosted the Melges cocktail function. Chief Executive officer of the Island and Olympian Glen Bourke presented the trophy to Angus Reid. In his speech to competitors, Bourke described Hamilton Islands commitment to supporting the One Design aspect of this premier event.
This years Audi HIRW is the first in the 2012–13 Cup series. The race schedule is broken into the Melges 32 Asia Pacific Cup Series, eight windward/leeward races over three days. The Hamilton Island Race week incorporates the Denman Island passage race, two days of short round the island races followed by the Molles Island race to finish the regatta on Saturday.
Heading into the regatta competition was always going to be tough, 2012 Australian Champion Noel Leigh Smith's Desperado was looking to add to his mantle. Reid's Maxstar wanted the win that eluded him at the Nationals. Melges 32 Australasia Fleet President Kim Williams' Rock and Roll was looking to kick off the series in front. Stefan Walker and Mike Turner aboard Sticks from Gosford Sailing Club had the momentum of Olympic gold in their camp. Stephen O'Rourke's Panther was racing in his second Melges 32 regatta and Tasmanian boat Greg Prescott's 2 Unlimited were looking to dominate from the outset.
Race one of the Asia Pacific Cup, for the Melges 32 fleet started on day two with overcast skies, the breeze certainly showed up for the start of the windward leeward series 12-15 knot building breeze out of the Southeast. The first start was away at 12.50pm, Prescott wasted no time in getting to the front of the fleet in the unsteady shifting breeze, they lead at the top mark and extended down the run playing the shifts and setting a high standard for their competitors in fleet management and crew work. Greg and his team sailed to victory followed by O'Rourke, and Williams in third place.
Race two and again team Prescott showed a clean pair of heals leading Reid, the current APC holder to victory in a building breeze by 32 seconds followed in third place by the Australian Champion Smith, a further four seconds behind.
Race three and Prescott turned up again with another strong display to lead Reid home by another healthy margin followed Williams.
Race three saw an end to day two of racing with the Melges 32 fleet heading back to the island wondering how to break Greg Prescott, and the 2 Unlimited team domination of the days sailing.
Day three and race four of the Regatta saw a forecast SE –ESE 16 -22 knots, clearing showers. Racing started at 11.10am, 2 Unlimited with Darren (Twirler) Jones calling the shots backed up by a keen young crew drew every ounce of speed out of the boat. Prescott found his way to the front of the pack again to win over Reid by 24 seconds, and then Smith with the fleet slowly closing the gap to the runaway Tasmanian team.
Race five finally broke the Tasmanian streak, Williams set up a dominating victory with a 50 second win over Prescott followed 13 seconds later by the O'Rourke crew.
Race six and seven saw order return to the Melges 32 fleet, Greg and the boys scoring an 8 second victory over Reid in race six and led Smith over the line in race seven.
Race eight showed that the Prescott and his 2 Unlimited team were human after all with a complete form reversal and their worst result for the series. Finishing on a high ahead of Smith and Turner was Reid.
The 2 Unlimited team achieved their goal, six wins from eight races dominating the Cup series, the Hamilton Island Series continues.
Lay day tomorrow and teams can enjoy the beachside pool party, the Audi Q3 Drive Experience, a pearl discover session, the Moet Chandon lunch or just relax and regroup for the remainder of the regatta.

Md. Woman Arrested After Pit Bull Attacks OfficerWALDORF, Md. (AP)
The Charles County sheriff's office says a woman was arrested after ordering her pit bull to attack an officer.
Authorities say they received a call on Tuesday about a woman with her pit bull who refused to leave the lobby of a doctor's office in Waldorf. Officers arrived and asked 21-year-old Courtney Jones of Upper Marlboro to leave.
But officials say Jones refused and officers escorted her outside. They say she suddenly stopped and ordered the dog to attack. The pit bull began biting the officer's foot, which was protected by a boot.
Authorities say Jones kicked and yelled during her arrest, and shattered the rear passenger window of the officer's cruiser.
Another officer took control of the dog.
Jones faces first-degree assault, reckless endangerment and other charges.

Employment conditions
The French System
France has both State and privately run schools. Both types of school are open to French and non-French children.
French state schools are secular, free of charge and compulsory for children aged 6 to 16 years. (Nursery from age 2/3).
State Education and Private Education
State education is free, and the school your child attends will depend on which area (district) of Lyon you choose to live in.
In state schools teaching is always done in French except at the International school of Lyon situated at Gerland. For those children who do not speak any French, state schools will require for them to follow 'adjustment classes' before following the normal curriculum. Please note that not all schools offer this type of class.
Private schools are fee paying and on average 260 Euros per month. As well as the traditional private schools where all teaching is done in French, there are a number of private schools where teaching is given in other languages and where teaching methods vary from the state school.
More information - International schooling in Lyon.
Those coming to Lyon with children may find it useful to contact the Cultural Department of the French Embassy in their own country to find out about the French system and how the level of classes in French schools corresponds to that in your own country.
The Economic Development Agency for Lyon and its Region (ADERLY) published an excellent guide following a study carried out in 2003 on the schooling needs of the international community in Lyon and its surrounding area. It gives information on all the international schooling options from nursery to secondary education levels; it also provides lots of useful - general information about schooling in France.
You can access the International schooling guide through the 'publications' section of the ADERLY website.
In addition, you may also visit www.islyon.org. This is the web site for a new privately run International School which opened its doors in September 2004. This school was founded in response to the growing demand from expatriates in Lyon and the surrounding area.
It is open to children from preschool (age 4) to 12th grade (age 18) all teaching is in English and the curriculum leads to British IGCSE's (10th grade) and to the International Baccalaureate (12th grade).

Ashli's Teeny & Charming Mud Room
We're all about home improvement projects on a budget--especially when the small space has to think and act like a big room. That's why we had to share Ashli's entryway turned mud room. As the only entrance to her home, it needed to do more than just act pretty.
For starters, Ashli and hubby tore off the bi-fold doors (which took up too much room in the 4x5 space). Going vertical (yay!), they picked up a super affordable shelving unit from Home Depot. The next step-- make it attractive with wicker baskets, uniform wood hangers and painted green stripes (love). The family also added a personal touch to the entryway mirror, thanks to some vinyl decals from Etsy. A pebble boot tray and some awesome hooks from IKEA round out the teeny-yet-welcoming spot. And not to worry, Ashli breaks down each purchase on her blog so you can replicate the must haves.

Gisele Bundchen: Samba Supermodel!
Gisele Bundchen shows off her dance moves on a Carnival float on Sunday (March 6) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The 30-year-old supermodel sparkled in a metallic mini with a matching headpiece while doing the samba.

Terrafugia flying car is as fast as a Porsche - at stopping
- Image 1 of 3

Terrafugia Inc., makers of the Transition flying car, said the long testing process required for Federal Aviation Administration certification is going well, but not necessarily quickly. The vehicle, which can be driven on the road, has folding wings, control surfaces, instruments and a propeller that allow it to fly like other light, general aviation aircraft.
The company said a number of small problems have slowed its test program, but the snags are minor and not unusual for a new aircraft in development. Tests have also revealed areas where the Transition excels, such as braking. The company said the flying car, or roadable aircraft, stopped from a speed of 60 mph in 110 feet on dry pavement. That puts it in the running with top sports cars like the Porsche Carerra and Cayman.
Terrafugia attributed the vehicle's braking performance to its light weight, four-wheel disc brakes and grippy tires. The Transition weighs less than 1,000 pounds empty and even at its maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds it weighs less than half as much as the Porsches.
"It handles really well – especially considering it's an airplane. It's fun to drive!" said Andrew Heafitz, vice president of engineering for the Woburn, Mass., company.
But when will it hit the road? Read more at The Wall Street Journal

U.S. pork exports in May 2009 were expected to be the most impacted by the H1N1 Flu Outbreak Virus, but the negative fallout was less than some analysts predicted, according to an analysis of USDA data by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF).
All volume and value totals are for pork plus pork variety meat unless otherwise indicated.
Pork and pork variety meat exports for May reached 316.8 million pounds valued at $342.6 million. Totals are down 9% in value and 9.5% in volume from April, and down a substantial 24% in value and 27% in volume compared to May 2008.
But USMEF pointed out that May 2008 was a historic high point for U.S. pork exports, and no one expected those levels to be repeated, even before the flu outbreak slowed demand and closed major markets for U.S. pork.
When compared to May 2007, pork exports in May 2009 actually increased 43% in volume and 36% in value, and surpassed the volume and value achieved in any single month of that year.
During the first five months of 2009, exports dropped 4% in volume to 1.7 billion pounds and 1% in value to $1.8 billion from the same period a year ago. Total percentage of pork production exported at 23.3% is similar to last year's pace.
"Certainly we don't like to see a decline in pork exports for any reason," says USMEF Chairman Jon Caspers, a Swaledale, IA, pork producer. "But considering the blow we were dealt by the H1N1 Flu Outbreak Virus, on top of an already shaky global economy, the May results were not as lackluster as some had feared. But now we need to put these trade suspensions and other barriers behind us and work aggressively to ensure that these effects don't linger."
Caspers praised those markets that remained open to U.S. pork and worked to correct misinformation that attempted to link pork consumption with the flu outbreak.
"USMEF worked very closely with the governments of Mexico, Japan, Korea and many other countries to keep these markets open and to ensure that their trade policies remain science-based," Caspers says. "Despite considerable pressure in some of these countries, most remained fully open. Consumer demand took a hit in the early stages of the outbreak, but seems to have bounced back fairly quickly as people became better informed about the safety of U.S. pork."
Total pork exports to Mexico declined about 15% from April, while volume at 75.5 million pounds was still 18% higher than in May 2008, noteworthy considering that Mexico was regarded as the epicenter of the flu outbreak. For the first five months of the year, Mexico has boosted purchases of U.S. pork by 48% in value and nearly 60% in volume over the same period in 2008.
Japan remains the leader in U.S. pork sales, surpassing last year's record pace for the first five months of the year by 4% in volume (423.4 million pounds) and 17% in value.
Also recording growth during the first five months of 2009 were Taiwan (up 75% in volume and 63% in value), Australia (up 33% in volume and 35% in value), the Caribbean region (up 56% in volume and 53% in value) and Central and South America (up 25% in volume and 37% in value).
Large reductions occurred in the Hong Kong/China market (46% in volume and 48% in value), and Russia (34% in volume and 35% in value).

Jim Domke and The Shooter's Bag Concept
"I designed my first Shooter's Bag to solve a problem, without a thought that I might actually end up in the photo bag business. As a staffer at the Philadelphia Inquirer, I needed a bag I could work out of fast, and on the run if need be. Most bags are designed more like carrying cases or storage devices, with way too much bulk and padding. This is not only awkward and unnecessary, but takes away utility, speed and capacity. The bag I created had the necessary cushioning, yet tons more room. It was designed so that I could get at my equipment instantly, without having to take the bag from my shoulder. My colleagues liked my ideas and so did thousands of other photographers. What started out as a kitchen table experiment is now a line of intelligently designed and executed bags and accessories that are recognized throughout the world as the photojournalist's choice. Thank you for considering Domke; an American-made camera bag of the very highest quality."
Canvas, for a classic look and feel:
If your tastes lean towards the traditional and understated, then all-natural canvas is probably for you. Soft, supple, heavyweight cotton canvas molds around its contents, hugs your body, and has a smooth texture that's friendly to both equipment and clothing. The fabric is naturally water-resistant, and we add a repellent treatment in the dying process for an extra measure of protection. Still, canvas is a "breathable" fabric, so the air in your Domke Bag stays dry even in the most humid environments. Finally, canvas has a character all its own; as your Domke Bag ages, it softens and wears like a favorite pair of jeans. And new or old, a canvas Domke is the ultimate in discretion - the bag that doesn't shout "cameras!"
Or Ballistic Nylon, for a more "high-tech" approach:
Our 1050 Denier Ballistic Nylon is the super-tough, water-resistant fabric used in everything from expensive luggage to bulletproof vest exteriors. It has a more pronounced texture than canvas, and features a beefy, weatherproof urethane coating. Tough-as-nails Ballistic Nylon keeps its shape and sheen even after years of hard use, yet when incorporated into the flexible Domke design, is still soft and hip-hugging.
Tough, street-tested hardware:
When it comes to keeping it all together, we use only the strongest buckles, adjusters, rings and clips. Most of our bags feature "bomb-proof" steel snaphooks (a Domke hallmark), with welded steel rings the most pilfer-proof closure short of a padlock and other elements of composite hardware made of DuPont Delrin.
The Gripper. Domke's original non-slip shoulder strap:
We custom-weave twin tracks of high-friction rubber into some of the thickest, toughest cotton webbing on earth. The result is The Gripper Strap the strap that stays on the shoulder to keep your bag where it need it. It also surrounds the bottom of the bag for maximum security and end-to-end support.
The patented Padded Insert System.
The heart of a Domke Shooter's Bag:
Another Domke exclusive, the Padded Insert System organizes and protects your gear with less fuss... and a lot less bulk. Interchangeable, compartmentalized inserts let you custom-tailor your Domke bag to suit any application or equipment combination. And unlike the flat walls, hatches, floors and bridges you find in other bags, these inserts are complete, self-contained storage components. Which means you can move or remove any Domke insert without having to empty it first!
F-2B Original Domke ( Available in Ballistic-Black only ).

The Iced Rum Cocktail
I wanted a nice cocktail with a Pacific Island flair. I thought Rum and Pineapple Juice would be a good starting point for a such a cocktail. The addition of a bit of Lemon Juice to provide a touch of citrus bite would, I think, complete such a cocktail. I try to keep things simple, and delicious.
The Iced Rum Cocktail
(Photo Courtesy of RumConnection)
2 oz White or Amber Rum
1 1/2 oz Pineapple Juice
1/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Simple Syrup to taste
1/2 Glass of cracked Ice
Pour the first four ingredients into a metal shaker with ice
Shake until the metal shaker frosts
Strain everything into a suitable glass half filled with cracked ice
Garnish with fresh Pineapple

Who says shoes should have all the fun? These awesome, fun-colored laces add instant style to your favorite pair of boots. Perfect for adding a small-but-still-noticeable dash of color, these waxed cotton wonders will earn you compliments both in and out of the office.
I bought these to throw a splash of color on my boots, but they aren't long enough to lace up the front. I even tried them on my Chucks, and they only made it about halfway up before I wouldn't have enough room to tie the laces.
These look great shoelaces, but I wouldn't call them Boot Laces.
These were a stocking stuffer for my brother. He's a city rat that loves lace-up boots. He said that Benjo's stand up to the daily wear of winter weather when riding a bike through the city. He ended up buying two more pairs. They're extra-long which works for boots. I think they're a great value.5
I needed new laces for a pair of low cut boots, and these added a splash of color to an otherwise boring shoe. I got the navy laces, which now seem to be unavailable. 1 star off, however, due to the packaging; as another reviewer noted the laces do not come easily out of the wrapper and do remain a bit sticky afterwards (though the residue seemed to roll off with some effort).4
I wanted some good red laces for my Red Wings. The color is perfect but I was dissapointed that the packaging (the sticker wrap that holds them) take way too much effort to get off of the laces. Honestly, I spent the better part of an hour peeling off the remnants with my thumbnail. Also, the length is a problem. I have the typical cut at the ankle length red wings and it barely get to the top eylet.3
These boot laces are both strong and effective as well as stylish and colorful and will add a little extra zing to those fashion forward boots. Great quality product. The only downside would be that they can be a little long for smaller boots with less holes or hooks for laces, such as ankle boots. Still great!5
I bought these thinking I could use them in my Wolverine or Red Wing boots and they are extremely short. I can only wear them in my chukkas. I should have paid more attention to the length I suppose but they are not for most standard boots The color and quality are nice though for the price.3

Blayman Stands History
Blayman Music, Inc., is the manufacturer of the world-renowned Blayman Musical Instrument Stands. During his tenure with the Metropolitan Opera, Mr. Blayman created the Blayman Stand to support and protect the instruments of discriminating professional musicians. These stands have been the standard of excellence now for over 30 years.
"I have been using a Blayman stand that holds a bass clarinet + 4 soprano clarinets. It never, never never absolutely never falls over and holds lots of things besides what I use it for. It is safe, easy to work with, allows FAST changes from one instrument to another, etc. Herb Blayman makes his bass clarinet stand to have two wings. Each wing can have a number of attachments. I have an E-flat peg and three B-flat pegs, but he also has flute pegs, oboe pegs, etc. .... So in the space of about 1 foot square, I have a bass clarinet and 4 clarinets. His stands are not cheap and they weigh a ton, but they serve the purpose for which they were designed quite nicely." -- Daniel Leeson, Former Bass Clarinetist with the San Jose Symphony Orchestra; Author, Lecturer, and Mozart scholar.
"I have stepped on (and snapped out of all repair) my last portable instrument peg!! I know they slip conveniently into the bell of my A clarinet, but maybe I'm willing to deal with the increased weight of a more substantial peg. Does anyone have suggestions on make/model? -- "Jeff"
"I bought my Blayman stand because my piccolo once slid off my lap while I was playing my flute! I like the stability of the base, the flexibility--I have pegs for an alto flute, flute, and piccolo-- and the simple, elegant design. All three of my instruments stand at exactly the same height, and the pegs unscrew easily for packing up. Every flutist who does some doubling should have one."

SC Alligator gets stay of execution
SC Alligator gets stay of execution
Charlie the Gator has received a reprieve and will be able to continue his life in a swamp on the South Carolina coast.
Port Royal Councilwoman Mary Beth Gray-Heyward wanted the 12-foot gator moved from the town's Cypress Wetlands, worried that it could attack a child.
Town engineer Tony Maglione said Charlie would have to be destroyed if removed.
But the town council decided Wednesday to allow Charlie II to remain.
The town will post signs warning people about the gator and will get more from the state Department of Natural Resources.
Gators that are relocated tend to return to their original habitat.
The gator is named Charlie II after another 12-foot alligator that has lived for decades in wetlands at Joint Base Charleston.

|Armonk SeniorNet Learning Center Fact Sheet
Page 1 of 21. Armonk SeniorNet is sponsored by the Town of North Castle, a Town of approximately 12,000 inhabitants in Westchester County, NY approximately 35 miles north of New York City. Armonk is one of three Hamlets in the Town, and the seat of Town government. Armonk is within the commuting belt of New York City, and is the home of several large corporations, including IBM Corporate HQ.
2. We "went live" October, 2001
3. This start of operations was proceeded by initial funding and equipment from SeniorNet HQ and initial training of volunteers by John Bonilla (Sandy Krasner's predecessor)
4. At 12/31/01 we were 17 trained volunteers, we had given 12 courses (Computer Fundamentals, Introduction to Computers, and Windows 98) to a total of 50 students
5. Seven courses were scheduled for January – February, 2002, including the introduction of an Advanced Word course, with Quicken and TurboTax courses contemplated as well
6. Our student enrollment was growing via favorable word-of-mouth
7. Our Learning Center is prominently featured on the Town web site, and we were undertaking a wide-ranging newspaper publicity campaign
8. November 15, 2002 I hosted what would be our first annual Volunteer Recognition Luncheon and All-Hands Meeting
9. As I reported immediately afterward to our Town Supervisor in our annual "Progress Report" –
a. 170 individual seniors have taken courses with us in our first year of operations.
b. Since we have many students take more than one course with us, we have had 240 students in courses.
c. We are currently teaching 5 courses; Computer Fundamentals, Introduction to Computers, Exploring Windows, Advanced Word, and Quicken.
d. All this takes place in our nicely fitted-out SeniorNet Learning Center in Town Hall Annex which is equipped with 8 new IBM computers, color printers, and the latest software which was provided through SeniorNet by our sponsors, IBM, Verizon, and the Benedict Foundation.
e. The Town provides the room, prepared and painted it and provided attractive carpeting and tables as well as upgraded electrical service, an air conditioner, etc. (We funded this with internally generated funds from student fees)
f. At our startup one year ago, SeniorNet also provided initial startup funding, volunteer training, and provides us via their web site master copies of excellent course manuals which we copy without charge and distribute to students as part of their course fee.
g. We are currently 21 volunteers.
h. Most of our volunteers act as instructors and/or coaches in our classes.
i. Others keep our computers and software up and running despite hard use by students, schedule classes, students, instructors and coaches for those classes, arrange publicity, etc.
j. Many volunteers handle more than one activity.
k. Our publicity has included coverage in newspapers, magazines, and a brochure we developed and distribute and periodic mailings, etc. We are on the Town of North Castle web site, and articles on us have appeared twice in the Town magazine and we are also in the North Castle Recreation and Parks Department 2002/3 Guide.
l. Many of us attended the May 24 SeniorNet Annual Conference held at Verizon HQ in Valhalla. It was a very interesting and useful day. Topics covered included information on courses, techniques, technical aspects, as well as a very useful opportunity to meet volunteers from other Centers and exchange helpful information. We plan on attending again.
m. We have accomplished all this and provided this valuable service to the community at unbeatably low cost to students while still showing a positive net cash flow to the Town, necessary to cover our low operating costs (thanks to an all volunteer staff) and provide for future equipment replacement.
n. Looking to the year ahead, our plans include the following -
o. Our high-speed cable modem service was installed November 15, and SeniorNet has provided us with a new cable Router. Our Lab Team will shortly get this all hooked up to permit all 8 computers to access high speed internet and e-mail.
p. This will enable us to roll-out an Internet and E-mail course that is the one most-requested course by seniors. We anticipate this will materially increase our student days beyond the excellent record of last year.
q. While maintaining our current course offerings, we will be also be adding a TurboTax course shortly, and our Curriculum Committee will be exploring adding a PhotoShop Elements course. Other courses will be added over time.
10. Following our 2nd Annual Volunteer Recognition Luncheon in November, 2003 I reported the following to our Town Supervisor –
a. 185 individual seniors have taken courses with us in our second year of operation, an increase from the 170 last year.
b. Since we have many students take more than one course with us, we have had over 230 students in courses this year.
c. We are currently teaching 8 courses, up from 5 last year; Computer Fundamentals, Introduction to Computers, Exploring Windows, Advanced Word, Internet/E-mail, PhotoShop, TurboTax and Quicken. Installation of our high-speed cable modem service last November and SeniorNet providing us with a new cable Router enabled us to introduce our Internet/E-mail course at that time.
d. All this takes place in our nicely fitted-out SeniorNet Learning Center in Town Hall Annex which is equipped with 8 IBM computers, color printers, and the latest software which was provided through SeniorNet by our sponsors, IBM, Verizon, and the Benedict Foundation.
e. This year we have started to see some of our IBM-donated machines now two years old experience hard drive crashes, and we have learned that IBM donated non-standard machines for which we cannot seem to get warranty service and so we have replaced the hard drives on three of the machines and we are in the process of replacing the hard drives of the remaining machines.
f. We also obtained from SeniorNet an additional better IBM machine that we are using solely for administrative purposes, and purchased some Norton diagnostic software we use in effecting these computer repairs.
g. We also added additional RAM (Random Access Memory) to bring all the machines up to a higher standard, so that we now have some very capable machines.
h. I also obtained $300 additional cash support from SeniorNet HQ to help cover the costs of this additional RAM, and Armonk Lions has expressed interest in helping support our good works, and recently presented us with a $100 check, which we hope will be just the first such partnering.
i. Likely in 2005 we should replace our machines, probably with Dell machines. While this will give us better hardware, they will come with Microsoft XP instead of the ME operating system we have been using, which will cause us to redo some of our courses and manuals and other work.
j. We plan to increase our course fee to $45 from the current $40 for courses beginning January 1, 2004 to help provide the funding for these replacement machines.
k. We are currently 25 volunteers.

Op ed
She woke up at midnight, screaming "Mommy ... Mommy, I've lost my eyes!" It was dark, and because she could not see anything she thought she had lost her eyes. This is my little sister, Nour (meaning light in English, age 9). My mother had to light a match to prove that she could still see. Nour is an example of the thousands of Palestinian children who are living in fear in Gaza as a result of the military operation "Summer Rains," which is the largest operation after the withdrawal from Gaza in September 2005.
June 25, 2006, was a significant day for Palestinian people. Palestinian resistance groups captured an Israeli soldier (Gilaad Shaleet, age 19) from a tank while he was serving in Kairem Shalom military camp. Palestinian prisoners were delighted that an Israeli soldier was captured in the hopes that they would be released from Israeli prisons in an exchange operation. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, there are 9,400 Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli prisons, including 330 children and 120 women.
Four days later, on June 29, the Israeli forces sent thousands of troops, backed by warplanes and tanks, into Gaza and sent fighter jets screaming over the Gaza sky. The forces entered the area of the international airport (the only airport in Gaza Strip) and destroyed the runway. Israeli F-16s fired at least nine missiles at Gaza's only power station, cutting electricity to the majority of the Gaza Strip and left Gaza in darkness. The air strike also affected water supplies to the Palestinians because water pumps in Gaza are powered by electricity.
The F-16 jets also destroyed three main bridges connecting the north and south parts of the Gaza Strip. That was the day of my best friend's wedding. When I spoke to him, he told me that he wasn't able to leave Rafah (South of Gaza Strip) to meet his bride from Gaza City (the North of Gaza Strip).
The operation this summer was focused on southern Gaza, where my family lives. I was very worried about my family because I am studying in the United States at American University and cannot do anything to help them. I had to check the news many times a day and call my family daily to make sure they were okay. I haven't even been able to stay in my room in Washington, D.C., for five minutes without air-conditioning; I could not imagine my family living without electricity and water for the whole summer. Recently, they have had power for two hours a day. When I call, the voices of my brothers and sisters are not the same. I can feel that they are tired and living under pressure as a result of the war. I did not know what to do or how to help them, in the light of the shortage of water, electricity and nutrition. I found myself very depressed and I had to go to a counselor for psychological support.
My friends from home tell me, "Never miss Gaza." They tell me not to come home. My family tells me, "We are very happy that you are not home now." This describes clearly how dirty the war is.
Mohammed Abu Asaker is a graduate student in the School of International Service.
He is a Palestinian from Rafah in the Gaza Strip in Israel.
