Nociceptors—Noxious Stimulus Detectors
Neuron, Volume 55, Issue 3, 2 August 2007, Pages 353-364
Clifford J. Woolf and Qiufu Ma
SummaryClinical pain is a serious public health issue. Treatment of pain-related suffering requires knowledge of how pain signals are initially interpreted and subsequently transmitted and perpetuated. This review article is one of three reviews in this issue of Neuron that address our understanding of the pain process and possible solutions to the problem from both cellular- and systems-level viewpoints.In order to deal effectively with danger, it is imperative to know about it. This is what nociceptors do—these primary sensory neurons are specialized to detect intense stimuli and represent, therefore, the first line of defense against any potentially threatening or damaging environmental inputs. By sensing noxious stimuli and contributing to the necessary reactions to avoid them—rapid withdrawal and the experience of an intensely unpleasant or painful sensation, nociceptors are essential for the maintenance of the body's integrity. Although nociceptive pain is clearly an adaptive alarm system, persistent pain is maladaptive, essentially an ongoing false alarm. Here, we highlight the genesis of nociceptors during development and the intrinsic properties of nociceptors that enable them to transduce, conduct, and transmit nociceptive information and also discuss how their phenotypic plasticity contributes to clinical pain.

TRPA1 Mediates the Inflammatory Actions of Environmental Irritants and Proalgesic Agents
Cell, Volume 124, Issue 6, 24 March 2006, Pages 1269-1282
Diana M. Bautista, Sven-Eric Jordt, Tetsuro Nikai, Pamela R. Tsuruda, Andrew J. Read, Jeannie Poblete, Ebenezer N. Yamoah, Allan I. Basbaum and David Julius
SummaryTRPA1 is an excitatory ion channel targeted by pungent irritants from mustard and garlic. TRPA1 has been proposed to function in diverse sensory processes, including thermal (cold) nociception, hearing, and inflammatory pain. Using TRPA1-deficient mice, we now show that this channel is the sole target through which mustard oil and garlic activate primary afferent nociceptors to produce inflammatory pain. TRPA1 is also targeted by environmental irritants, such as acrolein, that account for toxic and inflammatory actions of tear gas, vehicle exhaust, and metabolic byproducts of chemotherapeutic agents. TRPA1-deficient mice display normal cold sensitivity and unimpaired auditory function, suggesting that this channel is not required for the initial detection of noxious cold or sound. However, TRPA1-deficient mice exhibit pronounced deficits in bradykinin-evoked nociceptor excitation and pain hypersensitivity. Thus, TRPA1 is an important component of the transduction machinery through which environmental irritants and endogenous proalgesic agents depolarize nociceptors to elicit inflammatory pain.

Role of ionotropic cannabinoid receptors in peripheral antinociception and antihyperalgesia
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, Volume 30, Issue 2, 1 February 2009, Pages 79-84
Armen N. Akopian, Nikita B. Ruparel, Nathaniel A. Jeske, Amol Patwardhan and Kenneth M. Hargreaves
AbstractDespite the wealth of information on cannabinoid-induced peripheral antihyperalgesic and antinociceptive effects in many pain models, the molecular mechanism(s) for these actions remains unknown. Although metabotropic cannabinoid receptors have important roles in many pharmacological actions of cannabinoids, recent studies have led to the recognition of a family of at least five ionotropic cannabinoid receptors (ICRs). The known ICRs are members of the family of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and include TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV4, TRPM8 and TRPA1. Cannabinoid activation of ICRs can result in desensitization of the TRPA1 and TRPV1 channel activities, inhibition of nociceptors and antihyperalgesia and antinociception in certain pain models. Thus, cannabinoids activate both metabotropic and ionotropic mechanisms to produce peripheral analgesic effects. Here, we provide an overview of the pharmacology of TRP channels as ICRs.

- The nervous system detects and interprets a wide range of thermal and mechanical stimuli, as well as environmental and endogenous chemical irritants. When intense, these stimuli generate acute pain, and in the setting of persistent injury, both peripheral and central nervous system components of the pain transmission pathway exhibit tremendous plasticity, enhancing pain signals and producing hypersensitivity. When plasticity facilitates protective reflexes, it can be beneficial, but when the changes persist, a chronic pain condition may result. Genetic, electrophysiological, and pharmacological studies are elucidating the molecular mechanisms that underlie detection, coding, and modulation of noxious stimuli that generate pain.

J Brand proves that the denim movement toward straight and skinny is hardly a trend. With an absolutely clean, anonymous back pocket and sophisticated lines, these jeans are already a classic set for the ages.
Fantastic pair of denim leggings. Material is thinner than the black Citizens Avedon Skinny Slick & Seven's Gummy Gwenevere. This pair also has a wider leg opening which makes them easier to pull on. Super stretchy and comfortable. Runs true to size. I bought my normal size 26 and they fit perfectly. Although since I'm short, I will need to hem them. Perfect to wear under knee boots. I also have the 901 style in Sable & Seal. I'm obsessed.
I love this pair of jeans! The material is soooo soft. It feels like you're wearing nothing. It's very lightweight, you can wear it in the summer. But still thick enough to wear with a sweater tunic during winter. This is a must have for every girl's wardrobe. The only thing I don't like about this is the waist runs a little big for me. I don't have a gap around the waist or anything. It's just a little loose. But I love, love, love this pair, so much that I ordered another pair! Try it, you will not regret it.

Thank you for FP newgrounds. You guys are awesome to make all things possible.
The original animation by Josh Wimble dared me to do this remake. I was hoping someone would have eventually done a remake because the original was so moving. So here I present my version and hope that all who have seen the original will be moved once more.

BACVA Releases Results of Destination Review
For Immediate Release: April 18, 2007

Sara Hisamoto
Baltimore Area Convention & Visitors Association
BACVA Releases Results of Destination Review
(BALTIMORE) - The Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association (BACVA) met with its members today to review the findings of a recent destination review that was commissioned by BACVA's president and CEO Tom Noonan in February. The review, conducted by the third-party sales and marketing consulting firm, Frontline Inc., included more than 100 interviews with stakeholders and meeting planners who were asked about their perceptions of the destination, BACVA, the Baltimore Convention Center and the city's overall hotel community.
"When I was named President and CEO of BACVA three and a half months ago, I thought it was important to get a sense of the perceptions regarding BACVA and the challenges and opportunities facing Baltimore as a destination," says Noonan. "It's really a knowledge-seeking effort that will enable us to judge with clarity whether we are on the right track and, if not, what we need to do to get there."
Today's presentation, titled "Building the Future of
Destination Baltimore - A Sales and Marketing Review," focused on how
BACVA can further succeed with convention sales and marketing. The review also
looked at how Baltimore stacks up against its competitive set and what it would take to
make Baltimore a more competitive destination. A consistent theme from the
meeting planners interviewed was that they want to deal with a city and a
bureau that provide a seamless, one-stop shop for booking business.
"We assess our progress every day and adjust strategies
accordingly, but it is important that we bring our partners to the table to
gain their insight so together we can create a strategic plan for the
destination and a road map for the future," says Noonan. "This process
is an important step in achieving that goal."
Frontline made several key recommendations that include:
Have more hotel representation on the BACVA Board
Establish committee structure and goals for Board
Increase BACVA budget
Increase BACVA sales staff
- Create Baltimore Convention Alliance between BACVA, Convention Center and Baltimore hotels to attract more citywide conventions
- Create leisure marketing attractions committee to collaborate on marketing efforts
- Develop "backyard marketing" initiative to engage large corporations in the sales and marketing process
- Streamline the sales process between BACVA and the Baltimore Convention Center to create a seamless, coordinated sales effort that offers planners the one-stop shop they need and want in a destination
- There would be one board that would have oversight of BACVA and the Baltimore Convention Center
- Reach out and attract visitors from emerging and underserved markets
- Create a new citywide customer service program that reaches all hospitality partners from frontline staff to taxicab drivers
Not all of the Frontline recommendations are under the direct
control of BACVA and, therefore, will require input and direction from other
city agencies. Those dealing directly with BACVA will be reviewed by the BACVA

The Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association (BACVA), a membership-based
organization, is the official destination development and marketing leader for
Greater Baltimore, responsible for generating incremental economic benefits to
the community through the attraction of convention and leisure visits.

GE Capital Cons Cardco Complaint - Unethical Practices - Credit Card - Financing
Review by
This lender never ceases to amaze me in their
creative efforts of theivery.
Both my husband and I have had numerous
problems with only ONE lender out of the many we have
done business with in the past and currently.
Upon our shopping for a camera, we stopped in to
HiFi Buys. We happened upon a great deal on a
returned item and decided to purchase it. When
HiFi Buys offered a desirable financing option,
we opted to go with their financing. Unfortunately,
it was with the DREADED GE Capital Cons Cardco.
We gritted our teeth, and against our better judgment
decided to proceed with the financing, even though
we both remembered numerous problems we had
experienced with this lender over the years.
And HERE AGAIN, in this instance,
we have confirmation that they appear to be dishonest
lenders. And due to our experiences, we feel their
business practices are unethical.
Here is our most recent bad experience with them:
This time upon our balance being due and wanting to
avoid finance charges, I not only read the bill sent
to us, I CALLED AND CONFIRMED all information with
their customer service dept. The man confirmed the
amount due. He also verbally provided me the address
we should send the final payment to, which was:
PO Box 9001557 Louisville, KY.
I made an extra trip to our post office for this
delivery. I mailed the payment out on the 8th, and
the payment was due on the 14th. Since we had
had problems in the past, i sent the payment via
CERTIFIED MAIL, paying several extra dollars for
this service.
It turns out that the USPS tracking provides this
information: that the payment was received on the
16th - - and HERE IS THE KICKER... on the USPS receipt
confirmation for my certified mail the address is in
LONGWOOD FLORIDA, NOT KENTUCKY as i had addressed.
SO, they received it in Kentucky, THEN they sent it on
it's way to Florida, causing considerable delay in
receiving our payment. They are now communicating
that we owe the full finance charge.
I am disgusted!
Although there is a possibilty that this still MAY
be resolved, we will be canceling any and all
finance (credit) options through this company. We
have experienced these types of problems for ages,
but this was the straw that broke the camels back.
No matter how desirable a finance option may be,
it is not worth dealing with these people!
Our advise to you would be to avoid this lender
at all costs!

Manchester United faced disappointment as the club's Premier League title challenge finally came to an end at Old Trafford yesterday, despite beating Stoke 4-0.
A comfortable 4-0 win at home to Stoke counted for little as news filtered through of Wigan's capitulation at Stamford Bridge, meaning Chelsea bring to an end United's three-year reign as champions.And there was further cause for upset in Manchester as striker Wayne Rooney limped off with a groin injury – just a month before England kick-off their World Cup campaign. Darren Fletcher and Ryan Giggs put the hosts in the comfort zone before the break, although by then, Ferguson already knew United's fate.'It was always going to be hard for Wigan to get something,' said Ferguson.'When we heard they were down to ten men all our hopes evaporated. I am not going to agonise about where it went wrong.'You could talk about a lot of things and the decision at Stamford Bridge was a bad one that turned the whole thing round. But you can't agonise over these things. Sometimes you get the breaks, on other occasions you don't.'But we applaud Chelsea winning the title and I applaud Carlo Ancelotti. We know how hard it is to win the league.'As bit-part players on a day when they had little to lose or gain, Stoke did not put up much resistance. Danny Higginbotham prevented a certain goal for Nani by turning Rooney's cross into his own net.And after Rooney had walked off, his chances of the Golden Boot gone as well, replacement Park Ji-Sung rounded off the scoring with a firm diving header.Afterwards, Ferguson attempted to draw the sting out of the inevitable next round of Rooney fitness scare stories. 'He has aggravated his groin again,' said Ferguson. 'I don't think it is serious. I think he will be okay for England.'

The Ministry of Oil of the Republic of Iraq, Royal Dutch Shell plc (Shell) and Petronas Carigali (Petronas) have signed a 20 year contract to provide technical assistance in the development of the Majnoon oilfield.
Rebuilding Iraq's energy infrastructure 'Iraq's oil and gas reserves are among the largest in the world and we look forward to applying our experience and technology to support ongoing efforts to rebuild the country's energy infrastructure,' said Shell's CEO, Peter Voser.
Shell, as lead operator, will hold a 45% share with partner Petronas holding 30%. The Iraqi state holds 25% of the participating interests in all licences.
The consortium targets a production plateau of 1.8 million bpd of oil, up from a current level of approximately 45 000 bpd. Majnoon, located in southern Iraq, is one of the world's largest oilfields. The signing follows the contract award on 11 December 2009 and the approval of the Iraqi Council of Ministers on 5 January 5 2010.

Swiss pastry chefs bake their way into record book
Around 100 people, most of them pastry chefs, pulled together the 4.2-tonne mille-feuille pastry, breaking a record set in Belgium 20 years ago by nearly 200 metres, ATS said.
After scrutinising each inch of the flaky, layered cake to ensure it was held together as a single block, Guinness judge Anna Orford declared the new record, to cheers from around 2,000 onlookers gathered at the Palexpo centre in Geneva.
A total of 250 people had helped prepare the feat over the past six months, according to Gilles Desplanches who initiated the project to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his pastry shop.
The giant pastry, consisting of 864 litres (228 gallons) of cream, 576 litres of milk, 600 kilos (1,323 pounds) of flour, 432 kilos of butter and 360 kilos of chocolate fondant, will be sliced into 30,000 pieces and sold.
The expected 100,000-Swiss franc (83,000-euro, $105,000) proceeds will go to an organisation combating breast cancer, ATS reported.

Was kinda bland. Very good, once couple small changes made. I used half- half and half and half heavy whipping cream for a slightly thicker and creamier consistancy, also you HAVE to salt (a good amt) and pepper to taste.
My husband asked me to make beer cheese soup. We thought this recipe was very good.
My dad wanted this beer cheese soup and so I tried this recipe.... It was terrible, very bland, almost no texture, and the beer was overpowering. Even when I added extra cheese and salt and pepper it was still bland. My dad and I were very disappointed!!!!

GAINESVILLE - There are times where no sports cliché can do a game justice. A game that started with an alley-oop pass and reverse dunk by the top-rated junior in nation, South Atlanta's Derrick Favors.
Buford vs. Putnam County
DUNWOODY - When the final buzzer sounded in the Dunwoody High School gym Friday night, it signaled the end of an era for Red Elephant basketball and the beginning of retirement for longtime coach Jerry Davis.
ROSWELL - Blessed Trinity had the perfect solution to stopping Chestatee leading scorer Parker Smith: Prevent him from getting the ball, and when he does get the ball, don't let him get off any uncontested shots.
Dawson County's early lead came by surprise, but wasn't enough for a first-round upset over Class AA No. 3-ranked Greater Atlanta Christian, as the Tigers fell 82-58 on Friday night in Norcross.
West Hall's Colby Yates (130) and Buford's Scottie Forrester (145) will wrestle in the state finals tonight at the Arena at Gwinnett.
GAINESVILLE - Lakeview Academy's boys basketball team is making plans for something totally revolutionary after Friday's 80-62 first round playoff win against Bremen: A second round playoff game.
FLOWERY BRANCH - Connor Shaw couldn't hold his emotions back any longer. The normally composed Falcons guard couldn't stop smiling after Flowery Branch (25-3) won its first playoff game in school history, 68-59, over Southside on Friday night in Flowery Branch.
The Lady Knights began Region 7-AAA play with a 5-1 win against White County on Friday night in Oakwood. Kat Sheridan scored the lone goal for the the Lady Warriors (0-2). Caitlyn Harper was credited with the assist.
Prep basketball, first round playoff action
Due to field conditions at Monroe Area High School, tonight's Chestatee soccer game has been postponed.
The War Eagles will travel to Monroe on Wednesday. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
Chestatee vs. Blessed Trinity
Stand on any spot on the court at the Gainesville High gym, facing the front entrance, and look up.
Riverside advances to elite eight
Lakeview Academy's Chelsea Waddell scored in the second half, but it wasn't enough for the Lady Lions (0-1) in a 3-2 double overtime loss to Saint Francis on Wednesday in Gainesville.
COLLEGE PARK - North Hall's girls basketball team played with all the heart and effort its coach Kristi House could have hoped for in Monday's second-round playoff game at Woodward Academy.
BUFORD - Chip Ness tried to do a bit too much in the opening round of his Class AAA traditional wrestling championship match against Towers High's Derival Stevenson. Luckily, it didn't cost him.
The upset loss that Johnson's boys suffered against Shaw in the first round of the 2013 state playoffs weighed on coach Jeff Steele for the past year.

Winemaker notes: "The 2011 displays a dense, saturated purple color. Delivering its signature spice right out of the blocks combined with intense, briery, black currant, blackberry and black cherry fruit. The layers of vibrant, dark fruit intermingle with hints of pepper, cedar, mocha and sasparilla building in complexity. This is an intensly fruited, rich, medium-full bodied, mouth-filling Zinfandel with a voluptuous texture and medium to fine grain tannins. The intensity builds toward the long finish where the wine becomes smooth and supple."

We arranged to meet up i was nervous but excited i didn't think anything would come of it i just saw it as a bit of fun. We clicked straight away and i fell head over heels (i fall in love way too easy)so we have arranged to meet up again on friday, i cant wait. Hes so fit. He looks a little like justin Timberlake with the shaved head and goatee :] so i'm loved up. Who knows if it will lead to anything i really don't know...Saturday night i went out with some friends, Ann, Stacey and Becky. I spent way too much on drink as always.When we were in the last club i was just getting down from the dancefloor to go get a drink and this guy grabbed me and said "you are lovely wanna dance" so i said yeah and then he just grabbed me and snogged my face off i was really shocked. I though he looked foreign and then i started talking to him and i couldn't understand him. All i could make out was that he was from Brazil. So it was quite funny at least i can say i have kissed a Brazilian:]...that sounds quite rude!lol. Then after that he wouldn't leave me alone and i was really starting to get quite scared i was looking for my friends and i couldn't find them but then i spotted one of my exes Alan. I looked over to him and said "help me" and i think he knew this guy would not leave me alone. Alan came over and then this guy said "is that your boyfriend?" so i said "yes" and he walked off and left me alone. After that Alan started dancing with me. Next thing i knew Alan grabbed me and kissed me and said he would have wanted me and him to get serious. I was shocked once again. He walked me and Ann home. He was supposed to be going night clubbing but he couldn't get signed in without his friends and they had gone and left him. He didn't have a taxi booked till 2am so i made him come back to my house. When we got home i phoned up and had to rearrange his taxi for him because he was that drunk. But it was a fun night. Sunday was boring as usual, i was working. Then i was at college all day yesterday and work last night. And today i really need to get caught up on college work or i'm gonna get thrown out :[ i have missed loads. I'm having my hair done on thursday i might get it cut really funky :]

A best-fit rigged body model can be generated for a user based on body measurements provided by the user.

Emitting a perfect sense of balance and good fortune, one particular Ventura home uses key elements of feng shui to help produce an enchanting oasis.
From the lush landscape surrounding the home to the amazing ocean view, every feature was designed to help cater to the mind, body and spirit.
This two-story, five-bedroom, three-bath home at 268 North Linda Vista Ave. features 3,888 square feet of living space and sits on a 9,060 square foot lot.
The exterior of the Ventura hillside home is private, but welcoming.
From the color of the home to the paver-stone driveway and sidewalk, the feel is earthy and in tune with nature. The vegetation surrounding the property is plentiful and highlighted by two large palm trees and a vast amount of soaring bamboo trees. Standing among the trees, a large Chinese gate conceals a set of stairs leading up to the front door.
Inside the front entryway, high ceilings greet guests, along with a large number of imported artwork from around the world. A wide fish tank is embedded within a wall farthest from the front door.
Imported stone flooring from Italy is found throughout much of the home, including the entryway, kitchen, and living room space. Keeping with the key elements of feng shui, the tile is light and airy.
The majority of the home's bedrooms are found on the first floor, including the large master bedroom. Unlike the flooring found in the entryway, light oak colored hardwood fills the wide-open space. The windows in
the room allow for plenty of natural light and offer a small glimpse of the ocean view. The walls are clean and simple, absent are the moldings that would normally be found around windows and door entryways. It's refreshing and adds to the serene feeling of not only the bedroom, but also the home.
In the spa-inspired bathroom, hardwood flooring is replaced by the same stone flooring found throughout the home. Included in the master bath: a separate shower, two separate vanities and a walk-in closet. But the biggest eye catcher in the room: an extra large tub with jet features and view of private patio. The large windows and doors allow for plenty of sunlight. The tub is modern and enveloped by the same stone found on the floor. The tub easily is one of the most relaxing features of the home and is perfect for long bubble baths accompanied by a glass of wine.
Walking out to the private patio, across the way is a large water fountain and pond. Aligned to each side of the fountain sits two large torches that when lit resemble tiki torches. A small enclosed off area to the corner of the space is large enough to accommodate some exercise equipment, including a treadmill and weights. Adding to the spa inspired feel of the master bath, a dry/wet sauna is found to the right of the patio area.
Back inside at the front entryway, a staircase leads upstairs to either side of the home. To one side of the staircase is the office studio. Instead of stone or hardwood, the flooring is replaced by light colored thistle carpeting. It's double-padded and perfect for bare feet. Much like the rest of the home, this space greatly benefits from the natural light and features plenty of nooks, perfect for extra storage or for displaying numerous pieces of art.
The final bed and bath of the house can be found on the second floor and, much like the other rooms, is unique in it's own way. From the lighting to the rice-papered wallpaper, it's an ideal room to accommodate any guest.
From the final bath, a door leads out into the large cook's kitchen. Among the numerous features, the biggest is the large granite countertop. There's enough space to entertain party guests, but manages to keep a family-friendly charm. The bamboo cabinets provide plenty of storage space and continue with the feel of being close with nature. Among the other features in the space a 48-inch dual stove/oven, built-in refrigerator covered with the same bamboo as the cabinets, prep-sink, beverage refrigerator and wine cellar/bar area.
From the kitchen the dining/living room is large and easily can fit any size of furniture. A gas fireplace in the far corner of the room gives out a comfortable amount of heat and, because of the orange-colored sand brought from Arizona, is really enjoyable to watch. Much like many of the other rooms in the house, this space benefits from numerous windows, making light a non-issue. From the far corner of the room, the view of the ocean and surrounding area becomes a bit clearer, but is unable to compete with the view from the outside deck area.
Two large doors separating the kitchen/dining room space from the deck easily slides into the wall, making it look seamless. The outside space is covered again with the same colored stone found through the home and kitchen/dining room. From the motorized awnings to the spacious Jacuzzi, this space is perfect to enjoy during any time of the year. The view from this location is by far the best and can be enjoyed outside or even from the kitchen. Along with the view of city and the ocean, two of the Channel Islands, Anacapa and Santa Cruz, are in plain sight.
The residence's other features include security, custom built doors and windows, two-car garage, recessed lighting throughout the home, and custom built surround system that can be accessed from any major part of the house. Despite all the numerous features in the home, they don't overwhelm the space or make it feel cluttered. The uninterrupted flow and natural elements that envelope the home gives off a feeling of coziness and serenity.
The property currently is listed at $1,599,000. To make an appointment to view the property, contact Realtor Jacqueline Moran with RE/MAX Gold Coast Realtors at 216-1740 or by e-mail at email@example.com. Online visit www.268lindavista.com.

Smart Hospital Sponsorships Lead to Community Engagement
I recently ran a road race sponsored by a local hospital. The organization is small and I hadn't noticed them sponsoring any events in the past, so it was nice to see them taking a positive step in the direction of community engagement.
The hospital, however, made some rookie mistakes in the lead-up to the event and on race day by missing opportunities to promote positive brand awareness.
It did not disseminate health information to participants before the event, nor did it have a large brand presence on the day, other than a few small signs and their logo on participant T-shirts.
Since sponsorship often comes with a cost, it's critical that hospital marketers take advantage of all possibilities that effectively communicate an organization's brand and mission.
I've been following three hospitals that have done sponsorship right.

Lets choose SmackDaddy's new boat...

Lets choose SmackDaddy's new boat...
Okay crew, it's time to rally behind one of our wounded comrades. For those of you who didn't hear, Smackdaddy's beloved SmackTanic sank. Details here:
The Saddest Day of a Sailors Life
I don't know about you guys, but when a sailor's boat sinks it's a H-U-G-E deal. Thankfully I haven't experienced this feeling (yet) but I
come back to my wooden boat in the yard to find an 8ft crack in the hull. I knew she would never sail again and I wept like a little girl. Really, I did.
I, for one, think that SmackDaddy has done a lot for SailNet. He's started some interesting threads and with a teflon-like quality has avoided the mud slinging matches with good cheer and quick wit. He encourages the SailNet-lings and doesn't feed the trolls.
SmackDaddy hasn't logged on to SailNet in five days.
Anyone else notice the difference around here?
How can we help?
I think we can do two things:
First, we can buy some BFS gear from his site.
If everyone who enjoy's smack's contribution bought a BFS beer cozy, I think he'd be well on his way to a new boat. Even if the financial contribution is small, it'd be a real show of support for a fellow sailor who loves sailing and SailNet. Spend your coin here:
BFSshop.com, is the official home of BFS Gear for Big Freakin Sails!
Second, lets help him pick a new boat.
Boats represent dreams, future or present and I think we all know that. Smack needs to have a new boat to keep the dream alive and let's start by helping him choose one with this thread. All ideas and contributions are welcome. Catamaran or mono? Fin or full? Contributions from Smack himself are welcome but will probably be ignored since we all know that SailNet knows all.
So, knowing Smack as we do. What boat should he get for his ocean-going next boat?
"True, your boat will outperform mine to windward, but my boat will always outperform yours at anchor." --MedSailor

Area Manager: Tips and Tricks
From waze
The following information is using descriptions and images from a prior version of the editor and has not yet been fully updated. There should be enough similarity to still make this information helpful to the reader.
Area Manager: Tips and Tricks
This is just a very rough start on providing documentation for Area Managers. Below is the verbage from the original post on the need for this kind of FAQ. Feel free to modify this if you are an area manager. Some documentation on Wiki editing is on another page.
Below are some examples of topics for a tips and tricks section
- How best to define, find and remove unneeded junctions, including stray ones
- How to fix complex freeways / motorways with intersections with multiple levels, bridges, and complex ramps
- What does clicking 'locked' do when you have edited a road
- What to do if a user (or area manager) frequently makes bad updates
- What if your area manager does not reply to your repetitive emails
- How to find what users have changed in your area, since you last looked at update maps
- How can I determine if two roads are really connected correctly
- Are there any short cuts that help me do map editing more quickly and easily?
