When it comes to offshore trolling, twin-diesel inboards have long reigned supreme, proven to lay down clean trolling alleys and raise fish. For many veteran trollers, there's nothing better. Or is there?
The advent of diesel pod drives from Mercury Zeus, Volvo Penta IPS and ZF Marine has introduced major advantages. Unlike the straight-shafts, twin pods can swivel independently, providing directional-steering thrust that results in superb control. An integral joystick allows for precise low‑speed maneuvers.
Thanks to horizontal thrust (versus the downward-angled thrust of inboards), less drag (as a result of less running gear) and twin counter-rotating propellers (for less prop slippage), pods are also more efficient than straight-shafts. You don't need as much horsepower to cruise at the same speed as with inboards. That also equates to more miles per gallon.
On the Troll
Yet, do pods troll well? Do they lay down desirable wakes? Can they raise fish?
The answer to all three of these questions is an unequivocal yes, according to Paul Spencer, founder and president of North Carolina-based Spencer Yachts. Established in 1996, Spencer builds custom sport-fishing boats from 37 to 87 feet in length. In recent years, Spencer has equipped a number of boats with pod drives, giving the builder a chance to compare the two types of propulsion systems.
"To me, pods fish every bit as well, if not better, than inboards," says Spencer.
It starts with the trolling alleys, which tend to be cleaner with pods than with inboards, he says. Less hardware in the form of prop shafts and rudders also means less turbulence, less white water, and cleaner wakes.
Also, because pods provide better steering control, a helmsman can shut down one engine and troll on the other, eliminating 50 percent of the prop wash, Spencer explains.
Raising Fish
Determining whether pods raise fish as well as inboards is tough to quantify. Yet Spencer points to successful boats as evidence that pods can hold their own in competition.
"One of the first boats we built with pods was a 49-footer, and it was among two pod-drive boats that competed in the Custom Boat Shoot-Out in Abaco, Bahamas, which was limited to 40 boats," he says. "While neither won, one boat led for a while, and both placed near the top."
Spencer also proudly points to the biggest sport-fishing boat his company has built, the 87-foot Betsy, which has four 1,150 hp Caterpillar C18 diesels, each connected to a ZF Pod 4000 drive. In 13 months, the crew of Betsy caught and released more than 250 blue marlin, most of them in waters off the Dominican Republic, he says.
Betsy also proves that super-yachts are not exempt from marlin fishing, and pod drives are the reason. Spencer explains, "It's far more maneuverable than the same-size boat with inboards." Pods allow the captain to keep a hooked marlin where it can be fought from the stern.

Londonderry church turns up the heat for Habitat for Humanity

Batches of hot and hotter chili, vegetarian and grilled steak chili, green and even white chili from 22 local cooks were set out for sampling on tables that wrapped around the church hall.
A crowd of kids and adults went from pot to pot tasting as many versions of the dish as they could get to.
"We charged people to enter their cooking, and we charged people to come and eat," said event organizer Lee O'Connor, who was clearly pleased with the dynamics of chili cook-offs.
The church raised about $1,000 to buy materials for Greater Manchester Habitat for Humanity's renovation of a three-family home at 50 Hosley St. in Manchester. Church members have helped with some framing for the house, but that job was cut short.
"Sometimes work goes a little faster than you expect," said Habitat for Humanity coordinator Liz Rakich. "We ran out of materials."
Church members decided to move the project forward by raising some cash for supplies. When it's finished, 50 Hosley St. will be three new condos for families that fit the organization's income guidelines.
"We're helping other people help themselves," said O'Connor. "It's a great way to make a difference."
And a great reason to shout out to local chili cooks who, like others on the Granite State chili circuit, are particular about their recipes. O'Connor enlisted three celebrity judges to pick a winner of the cook off.
State Sen. Sharon Carson, Lt. Jon Cares of the Londonderry Fire Department and Dan Mancini, owner of Halligan Tavern in Derry, tasted and re-tasted before declaring the Chunks of Burning Love chili and Sweet and Kicky the top two entries.
"I have just one word for all of them - awesome," said Carson, who added that her district had the best cooks around.
"And it's great to see people coming together for these community activities," she said.
Cares, a self-acknowledged "chili snob" said people always find their own twist when cooking chili.
"I had a couple of favorites," said Cares who admitted he really doesn't think chili needs much in the way of vegetables. Meat and spices pretty much do it.
"I make chili and corn bread at the firehouse," said Cares.
He also cooks up his specialty, chicken Cordon Bleu, for fellow firefighters.
Husband and wife competitors Jon and Fay Morlock whipped up individual batches of chili for the cook-off.
"I wanted to make something different, so I made a chili verde," said Fay Morlock. "It doesn't have any red peppers, just green peppers."
Jon Morlock took a more traditional route.
"Mine was a Texas style chili with grilled steak," he said, adding it wasn't over-the-top hot. "But it had a lot of chili peppers that I ground up myself."
Whether it was green, white, red, hot, mild or sweet, every batch seemed to have a following. Still, there were a couple food critics in the crowd.
Peter Henry of Derry said the cooks did a good job but there was one minor problem.
"It just wasn't hot enough," Henry said. "Chili isn't chili unless it clears out your sinuses."

Andy Murray will have more time to rest than the other top 5 ATP players.
And it's rest that the Brit apparently needs.
The No. 4-seeded Murray lost in a marathon match today to No. 16 Richard Gasquet of France. The three-hour match ended with a final score of 6-7 (7), 6-3, 6-2.
The long match brought pains to Murray's back. His back, he revealed today, has been injured since December.
From the ATP:
"It was long match and I had a sore back towards the end but I was expecting that coming to the tournament," he said. "I didn't take a break because I've been training and playing a lot but the muscles are more tired and fatigued.
"I don't want to go into detail here about it and the treatment but it's been there for a while - since December. You wait for the right moment and then there is the French Open and then Wimbledon and then the US Open coming up and there is not much time for rest - anything goes. The best time to do it is now so when the French Open comes up I will be in peak condition."
That peak condition will need to be at Murray's side in nine days.
Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer all advanced. On the women's side, Venus Williams defeated 2011 U.S. Open Champion Sam Stosur in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3. Stosur was the tournament's No. 5 seed. Williams' little sister, Serena, Petra Kvitova and Maria Sharapova also advanced on Day 5.

Why is the SF housing market "positive?"
It's been a long, long time since anyone said that traffic is terrific. When there are too many cars on the road, it's considered bad, not healthy -- even if the boom in single-occupant auto travel is a sign of a recovering economy and lots of job creation.
So why do newspaper reports still talk about a "positive market trend" when home prices reach levels that no middle-class people can ever afford? Why does the Chronicle run a quote like this ...
Steve Berkowitz, CEO of online listing company Move Inc., said the region "is seeing a real stabilization and a really positive market trend. There is a very solid market in all the Bay Area counties."
... without any indication that soaring housing prices are bad for most people who want to live in the area, bad for businesses, particularly small businesses, that have trouble paying employees enough to afford to live near where they work, bad for the environment (when people have to move further and further from their jobs to find affordable housing) and generally bad for the region?
Yes, it's good to see that people who were underwater on their homes are getting back into the black. But for the most part, what we're seeing is the affordability of homes soar way beyond the reach of the vast majority of people who work in San Francisco. That's not "terrific." That's terrifying.
other people who are more progressive, so your "sample2 is skewed.
I do not know a single San Franciscan with children who approves of SF's school bussing policy.
and they hate the lottery system, not because they cannot afford a home. Marin is FULL of former San Francisco families who left for exactly that reason.
exercising options, saving yearly bonuses or borrowing from family members. I know, having sold a home in San Francisco and thus having access to the financials of those making offers, that lots of people have a lot of money saved up they can use for a down payment. If it's your first home you can use 401k or IRA money tax-free, as an example. It's also possible to get a loan without putting 20% down - you just have to pay mortgage insurance, which in the grand scheme is not a lot of money.
But I do recognize that yes, the large down payment can be a hindrance. If you're a teacher or public safety official you can get help with that.
The reality is not what you state Lucretia, most people as in 90% save when they can. When people are forced to spend over 30% of their income on housing and in SF it's about 50% in addition to schools, summer camps, after school programs transit etc., most people do not have the money to "buy-in" to the local market driven solely by real estate values which are based on speculative driven interests. I worked over 15 years renting and saving, utilizing whatever I could to make finally a down payment in 2010 at the market low. I was lucky, as I had saved, most families do not have the ability to save, and we need to develop housing that allows people the stepping stones for home ownership in the existing communities. The reason St. Francis woods and Miraloma Heights etc is so expensive is that many cannot save, and keep their jobs in such a changing economy. If you consistently have to move, or have a change in family status (child or care of loved one, or loss of someone) your situation changes, and due to the changes in the housing element we are not enforcing the need to build EQUITABLY rental and for sale housing at a 50-50 level. That is why when Avalon properties built on ocean ave, most local families could not afford the rents.......meaning they will not be able to stay in the area as development pressures push further into the western side of SF
"Bank of Mom and Pop". I know I did, although I did repay them eventually.
Lenders don't like people borrowing the deposit, but their checks for that are fairly perfunctory - they still only ask for the last 2 months of bank statements and, as long as they don't show large sums coming in, you're good to go.
People in SF often prefer to spend 50% or more of their net income on housing. That is their choice - they are willing to invest more in housing here, and less on other things. And, for the last 50 years, that has paid off as RE has probably gone up 100-fold since WW2.
The "Bank of Mom and Pop" has nothing to do with meritocracy and everything to do with birth lottery.
billionaires who were born poor, so clearly there are other more important factors that determine success.
And whining with envy isn't one of them.
You raise irrelevant issues. And make insulting charges like "whining with envy" in response to reasoned argument.
I suspect that you are the same commenter as anon and are responsible for about 25% of all comments on this website.
I also suspect that if you stopped posting comments, these comment pages could be as productive a forum for discussing issues as one could expect on the internet rather than the "cesspool" you have made a big contribution in creating.
If the birth lottery was the issue, then people born poor would not become rich, and those born rich wouldn't end up poor. But both of those things happen, indicating that your highly convennient and self-serving theory is wrong.
Oh, and yes, it does sound like envy.
contributions to these comment pages. If you are consider criticism to be insult, I can't help you.
I'll leave it at that. I don't want to reopen a discussion of the realities of social mobility where you counter statistics and empirical data with slogans, mythology and actual insulting language.
proud and stubborn to ever admit when you are wrong.
The topic here isn't anyone's posting style but the economy and housing, which you have not addressed.
Hi people if you can't earn any money online try - bluehand roulette system - it earns me extra money everyday,
just google it
According to the Chronicle business page, some 30 percent of home purchases are "investments" -- not owner-occupancy -- and it's much higher in SF. Speculators are driving up housing prices.
people buy a home because the title transfer documents do not ask for that information. A mortgage lender may make the loan subject to residency but that's a separate issue, and about one third of properties are bought with cash anyway.
Even if a home isn't bought to live in, that doesn't mean it is a speculation (not that there is anything wrong with speculation anyway). For instance, I might buy a property to rent it out, either long-term or via AirBnB. Or I might want family to live there so they can be close by. It might be for an ageing parent or a student child.
Many reasons. And even if as speculation, that only exists if there is the promise of higher prices, so it is RE inflation that drives speculation and not vice versa.
How does anyone know if the home is bought as an "investment" (which is a totally amorphous term anyway - isn't every purchase an "investment?) or whether the owner intends to occupy? There's absolutely no way to know that other than realtor gossip. All cash deals are commonly used in San Francisco by both those who intend to occupy and absentee owners and even property "investors" use financing vs. paying all cash. Tim's claim is wrong.
Regardless anyway - a sale is a sale - the medium used (CASH) is the same whether one is an "investor" or intends to live in the property full or part-time. Both benefit the economy the same exact way.
one purpose, that purpose can change at any time. I might leave my main residence and rent it out or do it up for resale. Or a rental that I have might become my home, perhaps to establish it as a primary residence to get a CGT exemption.
In fact, I know people who sell every two years to get that CGT exemption and then move to their next unit, renting out those they do not live in. It's fluid and nobody can credibly claim that X percent of SF homes are bought for investment, speculation or anything else.
Again, some places are bought as second or vacation homes, and may switch to a main residence at a future time.
There is no more single family housing market in SF. Everything is commercial real estate (except for a few enclaves, such as St Francis Woods). The proliferation of conversions of single family homes into multiple family units (illegal in-laws and "Richmond Specials", without penalty, including reassessing these properties to market value has changed the dynamic of real estate. Now, prices are based solely on how much revenue can be generated per square foot. Families can't compete against speculators and developers. Everything is now rental stock. They triumverate of Affordable Housing advocates, Chinese investors and the Residential Builders Assn have destroyed the housing market for average families in SF.
Glen Park, Midtown Terrace, Forest Hill, Mt. Davidson, St. Francis Wood, Ingleside, Diamond Heights, Excelsior - most of the Sunset etc...
"even if the boom in single-occupant auto travel is a sign of a recovering economy and lots of job creation."
Now back to reality:
Sharp increase in US jobless benefit claims
"A string of negative economic figures released this week point to continuing stagnation in the US in the midst of a worsening slump internationally. The US Labor Department reported Thursday that new claims for unemployment benefits jumped by the highest amount in six months. The same day, the retail giant Walmart said its sales tumbled unexpectedly in the first quarter of the year.
Signs of growing economic and social distress in the US coincide with an accelerating downturn in Europe and slowing growth in China. On Wednesday, the European Union's statistics agency said that the economy of the euro area contracted for the sixth consecutive quarter, after having posted record unemployment rates earlier in the month."
If businesses are doing better because of increased efficiency and productivity, then it's entirely possible that more can be produced with less people, meaning higher profits and higher unemployment.
That in turn is an indicator that pay levels are too high in the US, hence other trends such as immigration, outsourcing, imports and a falling dollar.
useless spam filter still blocking any commenting?

Ah, so no links of any kind can be added. Fuck it. Waste of time to post.
Just enter the letters and numbers.
The Financial Press–A Disinformation Machine — Paul Craig Roberts
Anyone who thinks an economic recovery has been ongoing since June 2009 can cure themselves of the delusion by looking at this chart:
can look at all the evidence it isn't just by contacting the Flat Earth Society. They know the truth!
It's just that simple - Steve Berkowitz is thinking like someone only concerned with profit and stock prices. It literally turns people into a commodity. There's no room for humanity in such an equation. Instead of prices being based on Lbs of human renters, it's measured in square footage of occupied space by the dehumanized unit of expectable profitability.
that leads to higher incomes, dividends, rents and other forms of income.
The Slate article previously linked is a hoot for all of its flawed assumptions (eg, building more units for global investors will help middle class affordability; temporary construction jobs to build investment baubles for the wealthy is somehow a long-term sustainable economic model, etc.)
But commenter Jack Crisp has it right (substituting SF for NYC):
"SF needs more foreign property owners that:
-Don't pay income taxes (in the US) since they don't live here.
-Treat their property as an off-the-books income source by charging massive rental markups to SFers unable to find alternative housing (since it was all bought up by the global elite).
- Let a property management company run their uninhabited units as illegal hotel rooms by renting to tourists on AirBnB and the like but again, not paying any hotel taxes to the city."
The least wealthy 80% of SFers are in the same economic situation as the local residents of Hong Kong, NYC, London, Shanghai, Singapore and a few dozen other global elite cities where the very wealthy park and extract wealth from the local population. Instead, housing should be dedicated to the people who live there 24/7, not for the global elites to maximize their cash flow by charging exorbinant rents and high purchase costs that makes the 24/7 residents much worse off financially.
The increase in wealth by global elites from their real estate investments only attracts more investment capital that eventually leads to even higher rents and higher purchase prices as more and more full-time residents are squeezed from the market. The additional thousands of new high-paying jobs hired by local companies also distorts the housing imbalance in many of these cities, including SF and the Bay Area.
Limiting housing purchases to full-time residents, and adding exorbinant capital gain taxes, transfer taxes, and gross rent income taxes on foreigners who purchase any housing zoned for single family ownership, will help bring the housing costs into a much better balance for the people who live and work in the area. The residents' increased wealth will benefit the local economy too since they'll have more purchasing power with less of their income spent on housing. Requiring large companies to build new housing for their new hires would also help create more long-term housing balance.
Easy. Buy the homes at a market price and then lease them to whomever you wish. Otherwise you have that pesky Constitution to deal with.
Basic fact of why people want to spend the money to live in the city. It is not the schools, it is not the open space, clean streets, quiet living. No it is the high end trendy places, good food, city living. Views, art, culture, music, you can be hip, cool and live in a flat. Mostly likely you will commute or start up a small business.
If you want to start a family, you can either send you kids to private school or sell your home in the city to another young hipster. You take the money and move to Cupertino, Palo Alto or Piedmont.

Overall This Is My Most Favorate Vehicle I Have Ever Owned. It Is Perfect. — I absolutely love my Yukon XL. Its beautiful. It looks like a million bucks. GMC went out of the way to make a great truck. I have a TV which is wonderful for my kids. I have leather seats that are heated. That is wonderful in the winter. I have alot of room for me and my passengers plus I have alot of room left for suitcases for travel. For a big truck my gas milage is reasonable. The same a a mini van and I have a much much better vehicle. Also i have alot of storage inside my truck. The stereo system is rockin and last but certainly not least I love my on star. Maintainence has been routine only. The cars acceleration is satisfactory along with the breaking and handling. I love my truck.

Will carry a big load, great vacation car with extra room on roof rack, kids loved the DVD., we loved the OnStar and XM, great ride and handling
3rd seat is heavy to remove
Great All Around Family Car — We towed this behind our motor home, like it wasn't even there. This gave us extra carrying capacity for antiques hunting. Very comfortable ride and easy to get in and out. The heated seats are a real plus even here in Texas in the winter.

Some may possibly argue that the best forex tactic would be the monthly, the weekly or the each day trade. Other folks might say the ideal foreign exchange technique is the intraday trading, and the fact lies somewhere between the middle.
The truth is that there is earnings in any forex method as extended as you are well aware of the components that will influence the market movements at any given time, and you have a clear comprehension of the basic and specialized concerns that support your fx tactic.
Some traders base their foreign exchange tactic in lengthy time period investments (regular monthly or weekly positions), although other individuals will create their fx method close to day-to-day or intradaily positions that might be open up no for a longer time than a several hours or even minutes (this traders are identified as scalpers).
A binary options strategy extended term fx approach will most likely generate you a hundred or two hundred pips in one trade, but that is in all probability all you will obtain inside of a month or a week if your foreign exchange approach gravitates all-around regular or weekly positions, But on the other hand, a properly carried scalping currency trading method can provide a lot of tiny 10 or twenty pip trades during a day, that means that probably you can total anything at all in between 80 to one hundred sixty pips in a single day utilizing this forex trading approach.
The intraday forex trading approach benefits from the simple fact that the foreign exchange industry, no matter whether going up or down inside of any particular currency pair, will often make tiny fluctuations that you can earnings from utilizing an intraday forex strategy.
Nevertheless, which forex method you apply will rely drastically on your binary options strategy private expense design and also on how significantly time to spare you have in the course of the day in purchase to adhere to the market and catch the most worthwhile entry details.
I have turn into a enthusiast of the intraday fx tactic among other points simply because of its profitability and the simple fact that I have some time to spare, but mostly due to the fact I get assist from a application I acquired a handful of months back, which areas and closes trading orders by itself dependent on the marketplace trends that typically could come about during the night.
This signifies that even when I am not close to my pc, I preserve investing all day and all night extended, taking edge of each and every minor window of chance that may possibly open up to scalp a couple of pips out of the binary options brokers industry. With this strategy, my intraday currency trading approach provides about one hundred twenty pips each day, which in my distinct situation signifies I make about $three,000 per thirty day period with a 5,000 investment.
So the intraday currency trading strategy can in fact be the most rewarding one particular, but it will need that you stay incredibly attentive at what is heading on inside the industry on a moment by moment basis, unless of course of course you have a software package that stays on guard although you are fast paced with your work or anything at all else that may possibly retain you from continually examining the industry tendencies.
If you are pondering about the computer software I use to assist me with my intraday fx approach, I will only inform you that it does get the job done and that its known as the FAPS.

Derivatives of the Foreign exchange buying and selling method are spot buying and selling, futures buying and selling, forwards buying and selling, alternatives investing and swap trades. Several inexperienced Foreign exchange traders are likely to concentration on spot investing. Spot transactions are more than-the-counter transactions, dealt with outdoors of an organized exchange.
Spot Trading - Spot buying and selling in the Foreign exchange trading process is what is termed Forex. A Forex currency trade is a straightforward simultaneous transaction that entails the trade of one currency for a different. Foreign exchange currency trades may possibly be settled within just two days, besides in Canada where exchanges may possibly be settled inside of a single-day.
There are two events and two positions with any trade. The party who offers a commodity retains a limited place. The social gathering who receives the sent commodity retains a extended situation. In other phrases, the vendor retains the short placement and the customer holds the extended placement. There are no limitations and limitations in Fx spot investing as prolonged as there are events prepared to a trade and liquidity in the currencies becoming traded. Spot trades incur a transaction cost per trade called a margin or disperse. A margin is calculated as the big difference involving the current bid selling price and the inquiring selling price.
Forwards Investing - A forwards trade is a trade in which the traded commodity has a date of delivery some time binary options trading in the long term. Ordinarily, a forward agreement may have a date of delivery 1, two, 3, six or twelve months into the potential. Traders use forwards to get benefit of curiosity charge variations in between countries and this distinction is normally factored into the cost of a forwards trade. The price of a ahead is established by the big difference in curiosity costs offered by the countries whose forex is concerned in the trade. The expense of a ahead could be higher or decreased than the latest spot price tag of a currency. When a larger cost is billed for a forward, it is termed a premium whilst a reduce cost is a discount.
Futures Trading - A futures trade is similar to a forward trade wherever a buyer and seller trade currencies for a predetermined price tag, at some time in the long term. The variation in between a futures and forward trade is that futures are traded on a controlled trade and forwards are not. Futures trades incur round-turn commissions that are typically larger than the margins required for spot buying and selling. You need to make a deposit on futures to serve as a margin or bond for the trade. If market place celebrations point out that a forex will enhance in price more than the time period of a long run, a decreased binary options strategy cost will have more value when it is traded. The variation in between the value for a long term and the marketplace price of currency is extra or subtracted from the margin price. You ought to replenish any loss in margin in purchase to proceed to maintain a situation in the trade.
Options Trading - Alternatives are a kind of forex trading wherever you are granted the choice to invest in a specific volume of forex prior to a specified date. Selections differ form forwards and futures because choices give you the suitable to get or not buy. Commonly, traders will seek out alternatives when there is an indication of stability in currency trade costs whilst speculators may believe the threat in hopes of producing a earnings. As a buyer, you are needed to spend a top quality for possibilities and that top quality is forfeited if you fall short to training the choice. Top quality prices are established primarily based upon how likely the current market perceives that the option will be exercised. Premiums may possibly be calculated as the difference among the present spot selling price and a long term strike cost or they may be include more complex calculations, based mostly on current market problems and the timeframe prior to the expiry date.
Possibilities involve each a phone and a put. The appropriate to get forex is a call option even though binary options the right to offer forex is place option. The selection to acquire US dollars and market Japanese yen, for case in point, is a yen phone and dollar set. The price that the customer agrees to fork out is named the strike price tag or exercising selling price and the sum of currency that may possibly be acquired or sold is known as the principal. Choices may be ordered on an trade or about-the-counter and then purchased and resold. US type possibilities are obtained on an exchange and have a strike price tag, expiry date and contract measurement. Alternatives bought more than-the-counter are bought in interbank. Alternatives offered in the interbank current market are commonly European design options where the terms of the agreement are negotiated involving the vendor and customer.

By contrast, 11ac can support as many as eight spatial streams. Yet no one expects to see that many, at least not soon and possibly ever. "Handheld clients in 11ac will probably continue to be single stream, because of size and power constraints," says Greg Ennis, technical director for the Wi-Fi Alliance, the industry group that's creating an 11ac interoperability testing and certification program.
Broadcom's Bekis says that most of the chip vendor's customers see three streams as offering the best cost-benefit trade-off. But he emphasizes those will be three 11ac streams, for a total capacity of 1Gbps compared to 300Mbps to 400Mbps for a three-stream 11n implementation.
One effect of 11ac that's not been widely noted is that 11ac radios can save battery power. Apart from efficiencies derived from advances in silicon processes and power management, 11ac's power boost is due to one simple fact: Because it can move the same amount of data so much faster, the radio shifts back into low-power mode much faster as a result. Broadcom, for example, claims its 11ac combo chip is six times more power efficient "than equivalent 802.11 solutions."
That doesn't mean your battery will last six times longer, but depending on your data behavior, it can extend battery life and give mobile device designers a bigger "power budget" to work with.
The IEEE draft specification has already gone through several rounds of balloting, says Greg Ennis of the Wi-Fi Alliance. Final IEEE approval isn't expected until early 2014. But products based on the draft are already shipping: Both Netgear and Buffalo Technology released routers in May.
The WFA plans to launch its 11ac certification program in early 2013, and products are expected to be announced if not shipping within weeks after that.

We were headed to the Dirty Truth, but they are too cool or to sophisticated or something to have a playoff Baseball game on the tube..so just a few doors down this place met our needs for a decent TV, decent beer and a bite to eat.
Basically its a sports bar, with about 12 mediocre, but not terrible taps...60 minute IPA, SNPA and a few from the Berkshire Brewing Co. were the "highlights", as I recall...we tried some pizza, which was pretty lausy. But hey, most pizza in Mass. sucks IMHO. Decent enough place to watch a game on several large flat screens, you will find something worth drinking, food is not going past typical bar grub.
One note, its an oval bar with a large open area in the middle, the two female bartenders were done up, all sexy like, approaching a strip bar athmosphere...I dont know maybe I need to get out more often...

Went here a few times when I lived in Northampton, mostly when my friends wanted to go and I tagged along. It is usually quite busy and has aloud atmosphere, dark lighting and some TVs with sports on. The bar is in the center of the room with ample seating all around it. Dark and loud.
The selection is decent, I mostly remember macros as well as Guiness, Arrogant Bastard, Dogfish 60 Minute and local things like Berkshire. A large selection of spirits and cocktails, full bar. The bartenders are usually quite fast and attentive. Doesn't cater to beer nerds but mostly pint glass pours.
The overall mood of this place seems like one where singles go to mingle in Downtown Northampton. The crowd is usually college aged or a little older and not the BA type. Not a bad place but I would rather go to many other places in the Northampton area.

This bar is directly connected to Fitzwilly's, but the two bars couldn't be more different. The Toasted Owl is really a sports bar. There are several big HD T.V.s on the wall, as well as booths with their own small flat-screens. The whole bar is wood paneled, and small owl trinkets and a few pictures round out the decor. The large oval shaped bar sits in the middle of everything, leaving only narrow passages on either side of it to get to back of the bar and to the bathrooms (which are pretty grimy). This makes things feel tight and claustrophobic when the bar gets packed. The crowd is young, mostly college age people and a few thirty-somethings, many of whom are regulars.
Service is good. The bartenders are all young busty women clad in tight black tank-tops. They are friendly and attentive. At times you can find yourself waiting a bit for a drink when it gets crowded, but the staff really does the best they can.
The selection is better than your average bar, but nothing impressive. They have Arrogant Bastard, Harpoon IPA, Dogfish Head 60 minute, Long Trail pale ale, and seasonals from Sam Adams, BBC, and other locals on tap most of the time. There is also a small bottles menu with a few other craft options. The beer usually always tastes right, though I did have a bottle that was well past its prime once.
I like this place, and I find that I spend more of my time here than any other Northampton bar. It can get packed and raucous at times, but take it for what it is and you will have a good time. It's a great spot to bring the guys and cause a little mischief (just a little). Having said that, there are times when I do get sick of it and need to stay away for a month or so. I always find my way back though.

There not too long ago and I have been there a couple of times with friends. Connected with Fitzwilly's restaurant and right off route 9, the Toasted Owl is more social than cozy.
On a sports night or a weekend night, I would not expect many seats available. This place gets packed even though its a medium sized place. Quasi-rectangular long bar in the center with some seatings on the side, I have been lucky sometimes and been able to sit or I have been standing. Some high chair tables near the the window and some booths to the side that even have small TV's to them. They built the place with lumber and wood, giving it a somewhat cozy illusion. But this place is definitely for a fun, social time.
Beers are decent in selection. Many BBC brands and usual suspects like Guinness. The food there is pretty good. Their food is the same level of deliciousness as Fitzwilly appetizers. I have had personal pizzas with the wife a couple of times and they are pretty good.
Waitstaff come around here and there but they need more people I would say. But even with more staff, the crowded nights would still be a hassle.
For Northampton, its not bad in price and its decently social. I would recommend it but I would suggest a few other places if your in the area.

We used to live within walking distance to this bar, and it was a place we went to to seek out good food, beer, and atmosphere. I watched the Red Sox take the 2007 World Series from this bar. Therefore it holds alot of sentiment for me.
Besides that the beer offerings here are not to bad. Most of it consists of majorly sponsered imports, but good imports still. Also they offer a few of the Berkshire Brewing lineup. My favorite being the Steel Rail Pale Ale.
Their Buffalo wings are some of the best I have had in a long time. My girlfriend and I are kind of wing nuts, afficionado's, connoisseurs, or what have you. Either way their wings are dynamite. They have a taco special that is a great price but not that great on quaulity. Still worth it either way.
Atmosphere is nice, lots of dark wood, the bartenders are semi-knowledgeable. Not too loud, which is nice.
Would definately recommend.

This was my first visit to Northhampton and I was pleasantly surprised. A sort of oasis in the sticks.
The Toasted Owl rests comfortably off a main drag, so to say.
Not to small, not too big, with a very comfortable decor. Low Lighting, round bar, some extra seating. Went on a Red Sox v. Yankee night, so seating was scarce. The layout is a little hard to figure out. Old mill, yet trendy, nice wood inlays and moldings.
Three different Berkshire Brewing Co. on Tap, Steel Rail, River Ale, Lost Sailor IPA. Other Offerings included, Red Tale, DFH 60 minute, Magic Hat, Guiness, Harpoon IPA, Spaten, and I think some Paper City.
Also, the Toasted owl is connected to Fitzwilly's which is more of a resturant, but also has a nice bar and similar tap offerings. So you get two good beer bars in the same trip.
I hope to return if I am in Northhampton again.

Good location, decent menu, pleasant crowd. A bit overcrowded even with respect to the general hip-to-hop packing of NoHo locations. Nice wooden round-tables with good chairs but again a bit packed together making it difficult to move around in. The only real complain was the bar service as the poor waitstaff is at the mercy of tenders who keep pouring the wrong pint. The menu is OK but not fantastic. The pricing is about the same but perhaps a little better than other places in NoHo. Kept clean, easy on the brain, and generally a good place.

Cool circular bar lends a nice roundtable feel, or makes the bartender the monkey in the middle, depending on your point of view. Layout makes conversation easier for those notoriously reticent New Englanders. The huge, high ceiling and a massive mirror make the space seem even larger than it is, which comes as a welcome change from other area bars that feel like they were constructed by burrowing creatures (not always a bad thing!).
Beer: Nice selection, about 16 drafts, with New England beers well-represented: three BBCs (including for winter Cabin Fever), Allagash, Long Trail, Magic Hat (#9, sadly), plus DFH 60. There are only a couple macros wasting tap space. $3.50 - $3.75 for pretty much everything you'd want to drink.
Burgers are a great deal here, running around $3 for a decent burger and a side of fries. The house spicy ketchup rocks. Really, this is something that keeps me coming back.
The mini tvs in two of the booths are a bit much for my tastes, but if you like the idea of sitting inches away from a tv, knock yourself out. Only on airplanes, I say. Still, it's a welcome addition to the Valley's landscape.

reviews & comments (35)
This was quite good made just as the recipe is written although I did thicken the gravy at the end with some of the flour. Next time, though, I'll try some of the additions/substitutions other reviewers made which I'm sure makes it even better.
I agree with others...easy & delicious. As others suggested, added garlic to mushroom/onion mixture. Used 1/2 C dry white wine to deglaze pan and then added 1/2 C water. I also added 1 jar of Heinz Pork Gravy and a tablespoon lemon juice, then added the chops back in to cook. Yes...watch your cooking time. My thick chops cooked in 10 minutes. Quick n delicious!
This was excellent and easy. Used wine to deglaze then added balance of chicken broth (instead of water). Added garlic to the mushroom and onion mixture. Will make again. May even consider adding marsala wine next time.
Delicious and easy! Used portabellas, since thats what I had on hand and threw in a good chunk of minced garlic. Also went with chicken stock instead of water to add a little extra flavor.
Great recipe! We did add some wine to the pan before adding the meat back in, but besides that followed the recipe. Excellent and easy.
Good and easy. I did as others suggested and added some wine. Also threw in some lemon juice, extra rosemary, minced garlic, and black pepper. All in all, this was an easy, basic, and tasty way to serve chops.
I agree with many of the previous cooks that this is a fabulous recipe, IF you make a few changes. I agree whole-heartedly that you MUSTreplace the water with either all stock or half wine and half stock. I recommend using a wine-stock mixture and deglazing the pan with the wine first. I also removed the pork from the sauce at the end, reduced the sauce slightly, and then added a few tablespoons of cream to make a lovely sauce/gravey. Beware the coooking time -- our chops were done in about 12 minutes -- not the 30 recommended by the recipe. That said, we like our chops medium and gave them plenty of resting time. One more tip -- I was using the more expensive boneless loin chops. To make them as tender as possible, I brined them in a solution of 1 tablespoon salt to 1 cup water. I also added an equal amount of sugar to the brining liquid, plus several cloves or garlic, a handfull of peppercorns, a few bay leaves, and a sprig of rosemary. I brined them for about 5 hours in this mixture (four and a half inch chops took about 5cups water and 5 T salt/5 T sugar plus those other add ins.) I have to admit, the chops had been in my freezer for over 6 months and they came out as tender as if they were freshly bought. This is a great recipe with these mods.
Made this with some modifications and turned out fabulous! I deglazed the pan with white wine after browning the chops, added garlic (3cloves) when I put the rosemary in, and also used half chicken stock half whipping cream instead of water. I also grated a small amount of lemon zest on top of the dish once plated to cut the heaviness of my cream sauce. Served with a "dirty" garlic mash potato and some crispy green beans. Even baby liked it! I know it has deviated from the recipe a fair bit but it did improve the flavor profile as some people felt it was too simple. Personally I agree that the most simple can be the best but I love to morph the recipes into something of my own. Happy Cooking!
I tried this once & thought with some work it might be worth keeping. Second try was better but I still wasn't impressed so won't do it again. I didn't dredge the chops in flour as you're too likely to burn the flour when trying to brown the chops; otherwise I pretty much followed the recipe although I did use white wine rather than water. The recipe calls for too much liquid. I thickened the sauce a bit the 1st time but didn't bother the second time. Reducing the cooking time by 5 -10 minutes helped but smothered/braised still equals boiled meat and that's not my favorite.
I love this recipe and have now made it several times. Sadly, my husband really dislikes mushrooms, so I make it sans-mushrooms and it's still delicious. The pork chops always have great flavor, I love the rosemary, and the sauce cooks up nicely. We love gravy, and so I always pull the chops out towards the end, throw in some extra flour, and use either beef broth or water....I also love using wine to deglaze the pan. This is simple recipe with ingredients I always have, so that's an extra bonus! I like to serve it either mashed potatoes or over rice and some sort of vegetable or salad....delicious and easy. Another thing I like about this recipe is that it is an easy recipe to have fun with and change up. :)

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

History | Were Paterson FC the first stateside association football club?
- Peter Seddon, compiler of the British Library's authoritative Football Compendium, has uncovered the oldest known photograph of an England national association football team. The picture, taken before a match with Scotland, dates to 4 Mar 1876. FA historian David Barber said, "I have to say that it is an extraordinary find. I have never seen anything close to 1876."
- David Wangerin, author of Soccer in a Football World: The Story of America's Forgotten Game (When Saturday Comes, 2006; Temple University Press, forthcoming), writes that research on early American and Canadian association football traditions refers to a Paterson side, the Caledonian Thistles, that played organized fixtures in 1884. Wangerin references the self-published work by Melvin I. Smith, Early American and Canadian "Football": Beginnings through 1883/84 (1stBooks, 2003). Smith dates the first report of an American association game in a non-scholastic context to 15 Nov 1879: a 6–6 draw between Brooklynites Foot Ball Club and Bostonians Foot Ball Club. The full provenance of Wright's team, Paterson FC, is not known or whether it correlates to the team referred to as "Thistle" or the "True Blues."

AFSP Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk by Truckin for Michael - about 1 year ago
"These shirts were designed in memory of my brother, Michael, for the 2013 American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk. On the evening of Sat, 01 June we walked 17 miles thru the streets of Washington, DC to bring awareness to mental disorders and suicide prevention. Over 2000 walkers participated plus several hundred volunteers. We also walked in memory of other friends, family, and co-worker's loved ones lost to suicide under the "never to be forgotton" on the back of our t-shirts. The sleeve included an image of my brother and our team name, Truckin for Michael. I recently reordered these t-shirts to share with friends and family; everyone absolutely loves them. CustomInk was amazing from day 1 and helped me every step of the way to make this the best t-shirt we could have. We received rave reviews during the walk and also referred CustomInk to everyone who inquired. I will most definitely work with you again. Thank you!!"

Police arrested a pet owner animal cruelty charges after he allegedly put his dog in the back of a U-Haul truck.Police say 50-year-old Jerry Mason stopped at a BP gas station in Cartersville with his cocker spaniel Scotty in the back of a metal box U-Haul truck.John Artemis first saw a frantic woman at the back of the truck at the Cartersville gas station. Then he saw a man trying to pull the dog free from a lawn chair."I asked him to stop and he didn't listen to me, so I had to pull him away because he was hurting the dog," said Artemis.Artemis says he untangled the lifeless canine from the chair and carried it to the blacktop. He says he then poured jugs of water over Scotty to cool him down."I was out here pouring gallons of water. I couldn't tell you how many, it had to have been a hundred gallons," said Artemis.John Artemis said that as he was trying to douse the dog with water, he noticed that snipped at him in self-defense, which he tried to take advantage of."So every time he lifted his head up to try to bite me, I'd pour some water," said Artemis.Artemis said that he called 911. Animal control took Scotty to an animal hospital. Cartersville police took the dog's owner, 50-year-old Jerry Mason, to jail, charging him with animal cruelty."I asked him, 'Didn't you know it would get hot back there with all the reports of animals dying in locked cars.' And he said, 'Well I didn't think an hour was too long of a time for the dog to be back there,'" said Lt. Mark Camp of the Cartersville Police Department.Camp says Mason told him that he placed Scotty in the back of the truck when the dog became unruly in the cab. Mason was traveling from Savannah to Kentucky, according to police."If you own a dog, that's like your child. You just took another child in. They can't help themselves," said Artemis.A representative from Bartow County Animal Hospital wouldn't discuss specifics of the dog's injuries.Police said that it will be up to the courts to determine if Scotty is returned to his owner. Mason remained behind bars at the Bartow County jail on Monday.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Served on-tap in a narrow pilsener glass. An odd glassware choice for the style for sure.
Cloudy pale straw in the glass with decent but short-lived white head. The nose suggests mellow oranges and pepper spice, perhaps touches of ginger. Flavor follows suit. Round orange fruit shot through with pepper and ginger on a grainy wheat base. Chewy but light body with appropriate carbonation. A nice Belgian wheat from 5 Seasons.

Big creamy white head with an appropriately cloudy and pale yellow body. Nose is faint hint of coriander there. The taste is a bit sour up front followed by crisp wheat and light coriander, The citrus tastes more like lemon peel than orange peel though. Estery.

Appearance: Pours a lightly hazy, golden-yellow body with a thin, white head.
Smell: Delicate wheat nose, very lightly tangy, precedes fruity, slightly sour scents. Particularly distinct are the orange peel and spice notes.
Taste: Soft wheat and light pale maltiness with a pinch of table sugar. White peach fruitiness seasoned with coriander. Bitterish Curaçao orange peel taste. Slight perceived sourness. Light, though balancing bitterness. Drying, lightly crisp finish with a lasting spice note.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Ample medium-high carbonation.
Drinkability: A good, enjoyable witbier to gulp down on the 5 Seasons outside patio on a sultry summer night.

Color is a somewhat cloudy amber gold with a thick but not persistent head. Aroma is strong, very wheaty and malty, with strong lemon hints. Flavor is rich, wheaty-malty, with some hop edge to it. Refreshing, smooth, this is a great beer for late summer and early fall.
