It's not easy being unemployed or under-employed, but you are definitely not alone. Even with a highly positive new jobs report just out and the country apparently on an upswing, an unemployment rate of 7.7 percent means a lot of people still need jobs.
But that doesn't mean the situation is hopeless for anyone. If you're spent on looking for available jobs in your current locale because it seems like the well has dried, you could be right. Some states have higher unemployment rates than others, and you could be stuck living somewhere that's not helping you. It might be time to relocate.
The Labor Department announced that the U.S. economy added 157,000 jobs in January. The unemployment rate inched upward by a tenth of a point, to 7.9 percent.
Job postings are up around the state of Maine. The CareerCenter and the Department of Labor said Androscoggin County is just one county of many in Maine seeing a significant increase in postings. This is good news, but it is not the whole picture.
Retailers are competing hard to get inside your wallet this holiday season, and as a result, there are big savings to be found in checkout lines all across the country. We know a few ways you can take advantage of this.
The median net worth of working-class Americans is now lingering at a 43-year low of $57,000.
Lawmakers in Texas are exploring affordable-education options for people under the financial hammer of the nation's exploding tuition rates. The most controversial option is a bachelor's degree for $10,000, which would cover tuition costs and textbooks.
For those holiday shoppers wanting a second chance at the deals they might have missed over Thanksgiving weekend, Cyber Monday awaits. And while there may be a bit less hand-to-hand combat involved, industry experts say that Cyber Monday is great for bargains—as long as you know where to look.

Build your skill and have some fun!
MagnetBall is played by bouncing iron balls straight at red magnets to get points. Each ball falls from above by gravitational force. You must bounce the ball using a steel bar. The bar is controlled by your finger sliding over the iPhone/iPod screen. Control can also be had by using a multi-touch interface. This will give enhanced angle and speed control. If you like a challenge, this is it!
This game has many levels. You must avoid penalties for missed balls to advance. Difficult magnet locations and external forces make successive levels more challenging. Bonuses are awarded for reaching a level without losing any balls.
Enough talk! Let's play MagnetBall now!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

How You Can Help
The Village Improvement Association (VIA), a charitable, non-profit organization, began a $250,000 Capital Campaign in 2011 to expand their clubhouse at Boardwalk & Grenoble Place. The little clubhouse nestled behind the dunes, was built in 1926 at the cost of $2, 644.88. At that time, VIA membership was small, the women fit comfortably in their new surroundings and held meetings, art classes and shows in it. But in the present day with 220 active members, the clubhouse could not accommodate membership meetings, various functions and many fundraising efforts in a clubhouse with a maximum capacity for 100.
Expansion feasibility studies headed by then VIA Vice President Carolyn Billingsley considered the size of the meeting room as well as updating the kitchen, storage space, and a handicapped accessible bathroom. Also important to the planners was consideration for building as "green" as possible. In 2010, the members gave their approval to a clubhouse expansion.
In many building circles, $250,000 would not seem a large amount for construction. The women who, for 102 years, have raised money with bake sales, high teas and other events, felt they could not bake that many cookies. The Capital Campaign Committee under the leadership of Theda Blackwelder, began seeking funding from foundations, corporations, members, the city, county and state officials and the general public.
These dedicated women have nearly met their fundraising goal. It is expected that the remaining amount on the mortgage will be raised and paid by 2014.
Special thanks to Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control for a grant to install solar panels on the VIA roof. Thanks to the Welfare Foundation, the Crystal Trust, Lowell II Foundation, and the Sussex County Council members George Cole and Joan Deaver for their generous grants.
The Clubhouse renovation was completed in April 2013.
To help complete the Capital Campaign fundraising goal, you can help by giving a donation, buying a brick or attending a fundraising event. Inscribed bricks are available for $150, activities planned for the year that benefit the Capital Campaign include a Fashion Show in April, a Designer Show House in May and a Chicken Plunge and Beach Party in September. Check our website for details on each of these events.

Movie 43 2013
From the pages of my great-great grandfather's diary, Catharinus Johannes Hasselman; scholar, explorer and truth seeker.
August 5, 1834
Have finally arrived in Italy. After a harrowing journey I am more than ever determined to find out if the reports that have reached me are true. Could it be that the tome that is allegedly hidden underneath the ruins of the old Roman town Alveus Arbor really illuminates the nature of all evil? I am eager to find out. I…
The 6th Day 2000
This was critically panned when it came out but I found myself oddly attracted to it. Probably the fact that its an Arnie film and I just can't say no to them. However, whilst not a great movie, I felt that this was better than the reviews had made it out to be. I do enjoy this film, but due to its universally panned status it is one of my guilty pleasures (see my guilty pleasures list for more like…
The 6th Day 2000
part of midnight movie madness
Ok, so this is what you get when you watch films sleep drunk.
Thought this was about clowning.
Thought it was one of Ahnold's lost comedies or something.
Well, actually, that isn't too far from the truth......
Laughably bad.
The 6th Day 2000
My favorite part is that they thought the XFL would have been the sport of the future.
The 6th Day 2000
Ever since the 90's Arnold Schwarzenegger started to make less and less sense. Not being far enough removed from 80's to understand what made his movies great, his last great movie was in 1991. After that came a collection of progressively worse action movies.
Somehow I had missed this Arnie flick, but after watching it, I think I'd probably have enjoyed it, had I seen it back then, after all, I was 9.
The concept is pretty interesting, but the…
The 6th Day 2000
At the end of the film, Arnold says to clone-Arnold, "That's enough philosophy for now." That's pretty much the mission statement of the movie. Don't go with the interesting ideas, just throw a few punches, shoot a bunch of baddies, and blow up a building. We don't even get any good action sequences involving the two Arnolds teaming up and finishing each other's one liners.
Some Like It Hot 1959
"My mashie!"
#38 on Berken's Favorite Movies Of All Time
I have to be honest about what drives me to take a look at these older films - about 80% is a genuine hope to get the same enjoyment out of them that other people have clearly had; yet, at the same time, about 20% is driven by a burning desire to tear a hole through the received wisdom that has these films consistently ranked as the untouchable greatest of…
The Cell 2000
Imagine "Silence of the Lambs" filtered through the fever dream of someone who has spent too much time in a bazaar in Marrakech, and you will have an idea of what "The Cell" has in store for its audience. Combining the stylized, pan-cultural aesthetic of Tarsem's Singh's imagination with an already interesting concept, the film is an effective, sometimes disturbing, thriller. It is slowly paced, but completely engrossing and visually stunning.
Immortals 2011
I just can't help myself, I love Tarsem Singh. His visual palette is just completely different than that of most directors. Immortals is no exception. He gives this film a unique aesthetic, conjuring up some scenes and scene transitions that are completely out of the box.
The problem here is the script, however. The idea is sound, trying to provide some sort of origin to mythology, but the execution is a bit out of tune. It plays out like a…
Celeste & Jesse Forever 2012
When Harry Met Sally is one of my all time favorite movies, so I feel like the romantic comedy genre has the potential to produce some truly original and stunning pictures. I wholeheartedly believe Celeste and Jesse Forever continues in that tradition: to present real and flawed characters, make you like them, and force them to live life the way normal people live it. I don't know how this movie manages to feel so realistic when the scenario is basically…

Link Roundup on Rizzo Tees – What I'm Reading 4/21/10
Playing the part of Internet DJ, here's a sampling of what I've been reading the past few days.
1.) 50 minutes of Peter Shankman – how can you go wrong? Peter talks about self-promotion, and it just so happens that his Help a Reporter service allows us to easily do just that. If you're not using HARO, start today! I have used it several times with great success. Every single opportunity doesn't result in a "hit," but you will respond to enough chances that you'll start getting press attention.
2.) Can the Care Bears really teach us about being a successful entrepreneur? Entrepreneurship is about hard work, good product, good timing, and confidence. I have low points in my own entrepreneurial life… times when I wonder if its all going to work… times of true stomach-churning self-doubt. If you can't handle watching the 5+ minutes of Care Bears, just know that you have to believe in yourself in order to make your own luck, and eventually succeed.
3.) The difference between salad and garbage is….. timing! Sonia Simone at Copyblogger reminds us that direct marketing can completely flop if not truly targeted. Additionally, becoming an expert in a very specific niche can turn into successful inbound marketing, which I'm finding is a much superior way to market my product than outbound marketing.
4.) Chris Brogan implores you to stop adding him to your email newsletter. Bottom line – spamming people is bad. I am certain that I have, at one time or another, marketed myself in a way that could be construed as spammy. Maybe it's one extra tweet about one of my products, or a Facebook wall post about my bacon t-shirts on a bacon fan page. Brogan talks about the rash of email newsletters he receives that he's relatively certain he didn't subscribe to. Marketers of Earth: you are just pissing people off with this! Maybe there's an argument that for every 10 people you piss off, you're reaching 1 person with your MLM message…. volume = $$$. It's the v1agra spam email mantra – carpet bomb the Internet with your wares and sales will come. It's a sucky life to live – don't market your product in this way!

It's Enviro Groups vs. Ranchers in LCP Showdown
Marin's version of the Local Coastal Plan, which is presently in the revision process, is shaping up into a battle between the local environmentalist movement and longtime ranching families. Both groups were well-represented on Monday at the Marin Civic Center as the County Planning Commission conducted an LCP meeting that focused largely on issues of agriculture, mariculture, and farmworker housing.
Planners Say No To "Domestic" Well Water in Bolinas
The Marin County Planning Commission turned down the application of Bolinas property owner Marc Dwailebee to turn three approved agricultural wells into wells that could be used for drinking water.
Dell'Osso to Take Reins at the Point Reyes National Seashore as Acting Superintendent and Will Likely Oversee Release of the Draft General Management Plan

Salmon Fishing to Return after Two Year Haitus
After two years of being prohibited to fish for salmon off of California's coast, the Pacific Fishery Management Council has approved three options for fishermen that would begin this Spring. As if that weren't enough, the fishery council also announced that they expect to see the return of a possible 245,000 chinook salmon to the coast – compared to the record low return of 39,000 chinook that returned last year. KWMR Reporter George Clyde met up with local recreational fisherman, Tom Baty of Inverness, at the Marshall Boatworks on Saturday.
Statwide Ballot Initiative to Save Parks has roots in West Marin
There is no question that California's state park system is in real trouble. A proposed ballot measure that is presently in the signature process is helmed by Bolinas resident Ken Masterton, and is getting help from dozens of locals. KWMR reporter Mark Dowie interviews retired state park ranger Carlos Porrata about a statewide ballot initiative he is involved with that could help save the struggling state parks.

Shoreline Dist. Sends Layoff Notices to Teachers; Looks at Reducing Hours of Principals
The Shoreline Unified School District has sent layoff warning notices to the five full-time teachers and is looking at reducing the hours of principals in its West Marin schools. We talk with Shoreline District Superintendent Dr. Stephen Rosenthal about what it all means for students in West Marin.
Study Says Climate Change Killing Local Shorebirds
Are the Western Snowy Plover and an array of other shorebirds native to West Marin in danger of extinction due to climate change? The answer is yes, according to a report that was issued last week by the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife Services. KWMR's Marc Matheson provides details of the report, and we get reaction from John Kelly of the Audubon Canyon Ranch's Cypress Grove Research Center in Marshall.
Memorial Service Plannned for Missing Nicasio Woman
A memorial service of sorts is planned this weekend for 77-year-old Silvia Lange, who went missing in late January after a walk on a beach at the Point Reyes National Seashore.
It's Pledge Week at KWMR
A message from KWMR News Director, Alex Horvath.

went to one in DC last summer ..very cool....Please locate one on Hertel :)..best of luck!
TCBY has been doing this since 1981.
Yeah, this trend is pretty late to Buffalo, Cleveland has had multiple chain and local self-serve yogurt places for years and even they were late to the trend. I think all we've really had were the two places out in Amherst.
But I'm still excited for this, no longer have to go out to Transit to get some yogurt!
Even Pittsburgh has many of these concepts. In Shady Side/Squirell Hill area alone (similar to Elmwood area) they have Razzy Fresh, Happy Berry, Tutti Frutti, and tons of others.
this new craze seem pretty familar to me too, I can swear I have had frozen yougurt at regular ice cream stands for about the last 15 years.
Or any city slightly larger or more modern than Buffalo or even YogenFruz in the Galleria
Or Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt (sweetfrogyogurt.com), which I frequented when I lived in Virginia this past summer. It's a great concept and very popular in these areas.
I love your ideas! Especially karate studio or dance studio. Look at what Bike-or-Bar has done for EV; bringing in people from outside Elmwood Village who then wander down for a post-workout pick-me-up. I've seen this myself - shocked to bump into a friend at Acropolis who lives out in Clarence and came all the way down just for her weekly workout at Bike-or-Bar.
I was shocked to discover that both Chow Chocolate and Dolci are turning into frozen yogurt shops. But I suppose it will all work itself out and another business will bite the dust in the next year or so. Best of luck to them both.
Totally original idea...unless you have been to Florida recently: http://cocoyogurt.com/
Here is what I don't get...I know that people who own buildings can do what ever they want but how about advising some of them that over saturation will lead to a short lived business....This cant work...FROZEN YOGURT, ICE Cream and gelato...Yotality, Fowlers, Whit rabbit, Gelatario Luca, and there is at least one more that I am missing....2
The old Dolci and the old Chow Chocolat spaces would be ideal for something new...Full Bakery, butcher, karate Studio, dance studio etc....I know this is scattered but just suggestions...
Good luck to all of the new frozen yogurt places, I didn't know that this was a hotbed market at the moment...
since catchy new neighborhood nicknames are popular at bro, i propose calling the blocks of elmwood from breckenridge to potomac the ice cream district.
it is an amusing exercise to name all of the places where you can get frozen desserts in any form: pints, cones, on a stick. who wants to try it? mobile vendors (bike or truck) don't count.
I'm not sure teeth "sweat"...
Sweat is a salty liquid that comes from the body's sweat glands.
"It began with an accident, a sweat tooth and a dream."
I hope a dentist can help with that.

How the Test is Performed
How to Prepare for the Test
How the Test will Feel
Why the Test is Performed
This test is done to see if your clot-dissolving (fibrinolytic) system is working properly. Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) or another clot-dissolving disorder.
Normal Results
The result is normally less than 10 micrograms per milliliter (mcg/mL).
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The example above shows the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Increased FDPs may be a sign of primary or secondary fibrinolysis (clot-dissolving activity) due to a variety of causes, including:
- Abruptio placentae
- Burns
- Congenital heart disease
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
- Hypoxia
- Infections
- Intrauterine fetal death
- Leukemia
- Liver disease (See: cirrhosis)
- Portacaval shunt
- Preeclampsia
- Recent blood transfusion
- Recent surgery that involved a heart and lung bypass pump
- Renal disease (See: kidney failure)
- Septicemia
- Thromboembolic states
- Transplant rejection
- Transfusion reaction
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

Coral Springs will host its first 2009 Business Plan workshop Tuesday, July 1, 2008, starting at 4 pm in the Commission Chambers at City Hall, 9551 W. Sample Road. The workshop will also be televised on CityTV channel 25 on Advanced Cable Communications.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the financial strategy proposed by the City Manager to address the challenges of property tax reform, economic recession and inflation. The workshop will also highlight next fiscal year's initiatives and capital projects, which are consistent with customer needs and expectations, as well as the City's Strategic Plan.
This workshop is an important part of the City's budget process because it gives the City Commission the opportunity to discuss potential changes in service levels and address long-term needs of the City in relation to emerging issues identified earlier in the strategic planning process. A second Business Plan workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, July 22 at 5 pm in the West Wing Conference Room at City Hall.
In September, the City will have two public budget hearings, which are tentatively scheduled for September 12 and 16 at 5:15 pm. The adopted millage and assessment rates will be adopted at this time.

Blag Hag has moved!

What's in a name?
Our name.
Our student organization is officially the Society of Non-Theists. When I co-founded this club two years ago, the name seemed like a good idea. One, we thought "atheist" provoked a negative reaction from most people. Not just religious people, mind you - but secular people who didn't want the consequences of labeling themselves an atheist. We figured by toning it down a bit we'd be able to slip under the radar - have events and start dialogs before people actually knew we were mostly a bunch of atheists. Pete Stark had just used the term non-theist, so we thought that was a good stand in. Two, the vagueness of "non-theist" allowed us to use it as an umbrella term. It wasn't just a club for atheists, but for agnostics, humanists, or whoever else wanted to come.
But the more I think about it, the more I don't like it for many reasons:
1. Non-theist really isn't an umbrella term. The prefix "non" is effectively equivalent to "a", so it's just a silly way of saying atheist. The only reason it works as an umbrella term is because no one really knows what it means. Which leads to my second point...
2. No one really knows what non-theist means. We've slipped under the radar a little too much. I think a lot of students don't discover our club because it doesn't have "atheist" or "secular" right in the name. This is especially problematic on the student organization website Purdue has. There's no way to search in the descriptions of clubs - just for words in the name (it's an awful, stupid system). So if someone searches for atheist, nothing will come up. They'll only find us if they happen to browse through the Special Interest category of clubs, which is another debate in our group. Do people look for atheist groups in the Religion category, or would an atheist never bother to click Religion?
3. My ideology has changed since I first formed the club, and now I think it's wrong to shy away from the term "atheist." There's no reason to be ashamed of it, and people are going to keep treating it like a negative term if even us atheists won't use it. If anything we need to have organizations that proudly call themselves atheist, so people can see us volunteering and holding insightful events and smiling and laughing and just being good, normal, human beings.
If I had a time machine, I would go back and rename the club something like Purdue Atheist, Agnostic, and Secular Students - PAASS. It's inclusive and has an acronym you can actually use and say - unlike SNT. Hell, I have a hard enough time saying Society of Non-Theists without developing some kind of lisp. But the problem is I don't have a time machine, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to change the club name now. Granted, we've already been around for two years, but I don't know if it's worth the confusion to go around changing a name. There would certainly be people who would think we're some different club, and then there's the whole business of our website and email having non-theist in it. I guess those wouldn't be too bad to change, but it would still be annoying.
So, am I over analyzing this? Is non-theist a fine word or should we have more atheist pride? I guess I should really be asking the club members rather than random internet people, but consider this more me talking out loud.

non-theist means not a theist.ReplyDelete
atheist means atheist.
Ergo, all atheists are non-theists. However, not all non-theists are atheists.
i thought you would understand the difference, considering there are seperate wikipedia articles for the two:
if you push for a name change you run the risk of alienating those that don't consider themselves atheist, as well as those who don't want to be associated with the negative stigma that goes with the label atheist.
if you want to change the name, change it to 'purdue free thought/thinkers' and become part of an organization that's nationally recongizable.
I think the decision about whether or not you should change your organization's name basically resides upon how much work it would be to change everything from "Society of Non-Theists" to "Purdue Atheists, Agnostics and Secular Students" (ie. how long it would take to change all the eMails, accounts, website name & URL if applicable, etc.). If it's easily done without too much collateral, then I'd say go for it; if it's too much of a hassle, just stick with "Non-Theists" (which isn't that bad anyway; plenty of groups choose to use "non-theists" instead of "atheists").ReplyDelete
As you said: never be ashamed of proclaiming yourself to be an atheist. The only people who will see you in a negative light after that are the very folks you wouldn't want to have anything to do with in the first place, and they'd likely be a minority. Plus it could very well incite more closeted atheists to join up, which is always good.
I agree with Joé but my point was this: while you shouldn't be ashamed of declaring yourself to be what you are, you shouldn't make that decision for other people.ReplyDelete
Okay, I've read that wikipedia article multiple times before this post...and I guess nontheist is technically different. But almost no one else has read that article, so they just see it as another way of saying atheist.ReplyDelete
You do have a point about not declaring it for other people. I guess I just think making it more obvious would potentially show those people that it's okay to call yourself an atheist. I dunno, like I said, just thinking about it.
We're going to talk about names at the SSA conference :)ReplyDelete
I suggest Secular Student Alliance at Purdue. Go SSAPs! Hmm...
Many atheist groups use the term "naturalist" to be more inclusive and avoid certain negative connotations.ReplyDelete
Personally, I don't think a name matters much. A context is the most essential thing that gives meanings to a word.
You know, you could use SNOT as the abbreviation for "Society of NOn-Theists". Doesn't seem particularly attractive, though.ReplyDelete
I certainly believe atheist is always the best word to use, but then I think a lot of people who call themselves agnostic, humanist, blah blah blah are really atheists who don't want to use the name. Whatever. We're the Kent State Freethinkers and I guess it's alright. I wasn't there at the beginning though, so didn't have a vote.ReplyDelete
Also, damn it, I need to get my stuff in for the SSA conference. Hell, I only live 2.5 hours away, if I don't go people are going to be pissed.
You're not overanalyzing it ;)ReplyDelete
I like PAASS, if for no other reason than the nice acronym. I also think it's a more descriptive and obvious name for the group, which could help in publicity and helping prospective new members to find you.ReplyDelete
VOX was a confusing club name because it means "voice," which I always had to explain was short for "Voices for Planned Parenthood." Things would have been easier if PP had thought of a more obvious name.
If you really think you want to change it, you should definitely do it sooner rather than later.
I also like PAASS!ReplyDelete
It took me months to come up with a name for my group here in Fredericton. The parts of the name were practically staring me in the face:
Fredericton Freethinkers!

Consult your ASIS dealer regarding a
suitable trailer as there are numerous considerations to take
into account to make the correct selection. The trailer should
comply with local regulations and may require an independent
breaking system dependant on the total weight of the boat and
trailer. The beam of a boat exceeding a certain width is
considered a 'Wide Load' and requires special placarding. ASIS
boats being much lighter than fiberglass or aluminum boats of
similar length generally require a smaller more economical
trailer system. Full inflatable have carpeted 'runners' while
RIB's require load bearing nylon rollers supporting the keel
and carpeted runners supporting the chimes in a level attitude.
Beach launching trailers have a split pivot system to allow the
bow to be scooped up and guided by rollers into the centre
Brief crew and passengers by explaining the
location and use of all PFDs to passengers and crew especially
passengers that may be new to the vessel. Children, elderly and
passengers that cannot swim should always be wearing PFD's.
Also explain routing and basic emergency procedures and
distress call procedures.
ASIS boats are manufactured to meet the
highest standards specified for safety on water.
Consideration and pre-launch checking of the
following will ensure the safety of all concerned.
Plan and equip for variable conditions.
It is the duty of the Skipper of the boat to
carry the appropriate safety equipment for the trip with the
ability to deal with the following conditions.
Man overboard (MOB) situation – Requires
carrying of personal floatation equipment, PFD's, a 'lifeline'
to throw to the (MOB), and passengers should be dressed to
minimize hypothermia. ASIS consoles have dry and wet storage
areas and tubes can be fitted with 'Pouches' to carry safety
Fire at sea - an appropriate fire
extinguisher should be fitted. ASIS consoles can be ordered
with recesses for fire extinguisher bays.
Fuel flow breakdown or loss of propulsion
can be prevented by checking tanks, filters and lines prior to
launching, in the event of power loss at sea check the above
and clean or replace where necessary. Oars, ground tackle, sea
anchor and signaling devices should be carried as they may be
required. Carry a safety grab-bag containing signal flares, 'V'
sheet, heliograph mirror, torches, and sunburn barrier, insect
repellent and thermal blankets.
Injury at sea. Carry a first aid kit, and
CPR manual specifically related to the activity.
Electrical problems. Battery condition and
location of all fuses should be known to the skipper. Marine
wiring can be isolated using a battery isolator switch and a
series of inline fuses and switches for each electrical
circuit. ASIS consoles are designed to provide mounting
solutions for all necessary gauges, wiring, switches and fuse
Water leaks or ingress – If water
unexpectedly enters the boat, bale the water overboard using a
bucket, electrical or hand pump after checking to ensure the
drain 'Bungs' are in place.. ASIS boats have self bailer system
which will self drain the deck if you are in a forward
Weather Conditions – As conditions at sea
vary be sure to get a forecast that deals with changes in sea
conditions or reschedule your trip accordingly. Consider
personal requirements to protect against cold, rain and sun as
well as sufficient water and food.
Information Resources – Check with your ASIS
dealer as well as Local Authorities regarding local
requirements and seamanship practices. Experienced ASIS staff
and dealers have a wealth of information; feel free to talk to
Regular Inspection – Regular unscheduled
inspection of your ASIS hull and tubes in transit by trailer
and before launch are beneficial. Pre-departure check for signs
of storage damage and continuously check during road transport
to ensure that no damage is being inflicted by trailer tires.
High fuel odor must always be traced to determine the source
and cause.
Pre-Launch Passenger Briefings – it is
essential to inform all passengers of the safety rules to which
they are required to comply; they should also be shown the
location of PFD's (personal floatation equipment) and other
safety equipment on board or inside the ASIS console.
ASIS trailer launching consists of
pre-determined steps in preparing for the launch, care and
consideration should be given to additional differences at the
launch site and the duties and actions required by the launch
personal must be conveyed by the skipper prior to
Stop clear of the boat ramp in the level
preparation ready area. All equipment must be transferred and
secured in place in your ASIS boat taking care to ensure that
the recommend payload is adhered to. Passengers must be safety
briefed and checked to ensure personal comfort and any specific
needs of passengers including clothing for warmth and comfort.
Passengers are to stand aside while the designated trained
launch crew remove all tie-downs between the trailer and the
stern, and then remove the safety chain at the bow. With the
ratchet on and the primary winch cable in place, check that the
bungs are in and tight. Make sure the fuel is connected the
electrical power is switched on from the primary battery switch
and the engine primed, remove engine locks and chocks and set
engine lock out switch to 'run'. Insert the ignition key and
check the ground tackle is accessible and can be deployed
quickly if required. Check that the propeller is clear as well
as the bow & stern mooring lines are secure and accessible.
Walk down to the ramp and assess any VARIABLES such as ramp
width depth, and slipperiness, tidal currents, angle of the
ramp, submerged hazards, wind and boarding location for
passengers. Return to passengers and check their readiness to
board and advise boarding location.
Each trailer has an optimal depth for launch
and for recovery, this is with the stern roller or guide just
below the water level. Having the stern roller guide deeper is
not better as the boat will tend to separate vertically rather
than slide back onto the rollers. A crew member should be
placed as observer, at the driver's side of the ramp with a
clear view of the launch area and clearly visible by the
driver. In 4WD clear the area visually then reverse at a
constant slow pace taking note of any hand signals by the
observers. Stop the vehicle at the pre-set launch depth. With
the observer standing downstream, if any current or wind is
present, secure the bowline in hand, release the ratchet and
release the primary winch cable from the bow to trailer.
Holding the bowline, push the boat off and allow it to slide
clear of the trailer. Assist the observer to secure the boat to
the shore before driving away. In unstable conditions of wind
or current the skipper should board the ASIS and remain at the
controls, starting the engine before releasing the bowline.
Secure the winch cable onto the trailer. drive clear of the
ramp and park the trailer.
ASIS recommends that safety be the primary
consideration in all your boating activity. ASIS boats are
manufactured to exceed Lloyds Specifications for materials in
all aspects of construction, design and buoyancy. It is
therefore incumbent on the owner and the operator, to equip any
ASIS inflatable boat with all necessary SAFETY equipment
relative to the conditions and the nature of the operation
being conducted. Over and above the requirements of local and
international maritime law, it is the responsibility of the
Captain of the vessel to exercise his Duty of Care in the safe
and sensible operation and take all reasonable steps to ensure
the safety of crew and passengers at sea. All manufacturers'
placard limitations must be adhered too in full. ASIS
inflatables should only be fitted with accessories approved by
certified ASIS dealers, in a manner which complies with
practices laid down by ASIS. Boating safety is the
responsibility of every person engaged in boating, and every
person boarding a boat must take a pro-active attitude to learn
and understand the factors which may affect their personal
safety at sea.
ASIS asserts that coastal navigation is a
skill acquired by practical experience as well as the
assistance of a compass which when fitted should be checked for
inherent deviation with the deviation correction card being
placed next to the compass. Your ASIS Dealer will be happy to
inform you about the deviation as well as any suitable
navigation courses available.
Skippers should ensure that they have at
least two navigation methods available in order to cross check
one against the other while eliminating user error. Despite the
High accuracy of GPS it is susceptible to user error and a
second confirming navigation method will always prove
Official marine charts should be carried and
the traditional dead reckoning (DR) should be observed
recording departure times as well as direction and course data,
in addition to GPS navigation data. Tidal prediction charts
should be studied to ensure safe passage in shallow waters.
ASIS have the knowledge and experience to
provide protection to maps and instruments as well as
windscreen design and console layout for optimum ease of
operation during navigation.
Well., two is really the practical minimum.
Two blades are also very efficient. As more blades are added,
efficiency drops, but so does vibration. Three blades is pretty
well the standard, with fours, fives and sixes used in
specialized installations, such as racing.
Another simple one. It is the outside circle
made by a rotating prop.
A little more technical this one. In a
perfect world, with no losses, pitch is the theoretical
distance your boat would move forward for one revolution of the
prop. Along with diameter and material, there are usually
variables by which you select a prop. (More of that later.)
The familiar 'Mickey Mouse's Ear' shape for
a prop blade is not the only one available. Contour is the
blade shape, looked at along the shaft axis.
Consider the cartoon artist drawing Mickey
Mouse. If Mickey suddenly accelerated, the ends of his ears
would be drawn stretched back. That is positive skew. Negative
skew would be his ears overshooting when he stopped. Large
amounts of positive skew help shed weeds and allow cleaner
entry for a blade that breaks the surface.
They rake if they're being drawn back by the
forward speed of the boat. So, instead of a flat arc for the
blades to rotate in, an overall dishing effect from hub to tip
produces a cone. Zero rake is a flat disc, flat rake is like a
Chinaman's hat and curved rake is like his wok! Rake helps
reduce cavitation and ventilation. Because of the props extra
grip, the front of the boat will lift more, a problem for light
The trailing edge of the prop blade is
usually turned away from the boat slightly. This is cupping.
The amount can be tweaked to fine tune your peak RPM. Cupping
produces similar benefits to Rake and adjusting it should be
left to the experts.
The material your prop is made from has a
great effect on your choice. Plastic is cheap, but flexible and
prone to serious, as in throw away, damage. Some `plastic'
props get around this by having replaceable blades. This also
allows easy pitch changes. Next, and probably the most common,
is aluminium (alloy). These give good service at a relatively
low cost. Repairs can be made to minor blade `dings' making
this a good all round working prop. Stainless steel is the
choice for the more serious performance user. Stainless props
are harder wearing and grip better due to less distortion. They
are also much more resistant to damage due to ventilation and
cavitation. On the down side is the higher initial cost and
greater mass. The cost factor is straightforward. The extra
mass means harder loadings on your gearbox. With more weight to
kick into life, the drive dogs in your gearbox take more of a
battering. Also, more energy is stored in the prop so that
changes of throttle setting again produce additional loading
and gear train.
The outcome of both of
these is very similar. the prop loses grip, your engine
revs rise (with the associated roar) and forward thrust
The cause for the two problems is very
different. Ventilation is air from the surface or exhaust
getting drawn into the prop. Cavitation is water vapour boiling
out and again reducing the ability of the prop to thrust
correctly. when the vapour condenses, the resulting implosion
erodes away the metal of the blade (cavitation burn).
Ventilation can be greatly reduced by a
plate built into the drive leg (often wrongly called the
cavitation plate) and a slight flaring of the hub to reduce
exhaust feeding back into the prop. Cavitation is most likely
due to poor blade design or blade damage. The solution is

MADISONVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)-- Labor isn't anything new for these inmates in Monroe County. A few inmates were helping build a new flag pole Monday afternoon that will soon stand tall outside the Monroe County Sheriff's Department.
"They made their way in here...now they can pay back a bit to society," said Chief Deputy Bryan Graves.
Many have been doing that by picking up trash along highways and parks, and soon, many will become gardners, too.
Graves said the price of produce has gone up and continues to rise. That's why the department decided to create a new inmate garden.
"We can either ask for more money or we can try to produce the produce ourselves," he said.
The project is stil in its early stages but Graves told Local 8 News that have a plot of land behind the jail.
"The good news is we won't have to ask for anymore (money)," he said. "Any shortfalls will be covered by the inmate garden program."
The produce that isn't used will be donated to local non-profit organizations.

At 6-8 he causes all kinds of match-up problems for his opponents and has been described as "not flashy, just productive." Barnes is a force on the offensive and defensive boards and has the ability to take the ball coast to coast at any point.

Well guys, I am back! Finally came back from my reservist (that is 2 weeks of my life wasted) and will be continuing to do some more reviews. This time, it is the Nestle Bliss Low Fat Yogurt Drink – Guava flavoured! I have to admit, I used to hate yogurt drinks since they are just to "sticky" for me. I am not talking about Yakult or Vitagen, but real yogurt drinks – aka diluted yogurt. These felt a little weird to me as well. But as I continued to consume them, I find that after a while, they do taste quite decent. Maybe they just need a little getting used to. I had always felt that yogurt was meant for eating. And the new flavours really help a lot on my little conversion. Furthermore, they are now readily available in our local supermarkets.
I have reviewed the Cucumber Lime flavoured yogurt drink from Nestle previously. Now this is the Guava flavoured one. As with the Cucumber Lime yogurt drink, this is still quite interesting. Although I would not say that the Guava drink is better, but it is quite close. Thumbs up for Nestle to come up with unique flavours. I think we are all bored with Strawberry or Blueberry flavoured yogurts already. Come up people, we need more variety!
Here we have the Nestle Bliss Low Fat Guava Flavoured Yogurt Drink!
Yes, this is "low-fat". The "low-fat" label sells, so manufacturers have to make low fat yogurts/yogurt drinks. For me I think that low fat milk is more harmful than full cream milk. Health conscious people will have to read up more on what is really "low fat" milk. This low fat craze has to stop. It is hurting our health.
Some nutritional information for you. Nothing too impressive.
Ahh….the ingredients are Guava Juice Concentrate, sugar, milk solids, Inulin, Fructose, Stabiliser, Citric Acid and Mixed Live Cultures (l.acidophilus, Bifidobacterium and s.thermophilus). Again, nothing too special about the ingredients. I was hoping for more variety of lactic cultures (probiotic) to boost our health, but that would be probably out of Nestle's league. Anyway, at the very least, they have l.acidophilus culture in the drink. This is manufactured in Malaysia. Yes, it weighs 700g but I guess the majority is just water? Interesting enough, the ingredients list does not state "water". Hmmm……
Same thing – Inulin is prebiotic, which are non-digestible stuff, providing stimulation for the probiotic cultures in the yogurt drink. In other words, they are good for the lactic cultures.
Anyway, I hope that you have enjoyed my little review. If you have not tried yogurt drinks before, perhaps it is a good time to do so. Nestle do have a nice selection of flavours for you to choose from. I really like the cucumber lime one.
