CHEERS to Salem police Sgt. Michael Wagner and Officer John O'Donnell for their rescue of a bald eagle caught in a trap. Cheers also to James Ransom of Methuen and a friend who were scouting possible hunting areas when they found the eagle.
The eagle was caught when it was feeding on a skinned beaver that had been placed as bait in the trap. There was nothing illegal about the trap, which was properly registered.
The eagle's leg and wing had become entangled in the trap. The police officers placed a blanket over the eagle and donned heavy gloves to work on freeing it. The eagle had only a minor cut on one talon and quickly flew away after the blanket was removed.
Wagner said the call was among the more memorable and rewarding he has had in his career.
"I wouldn't call myself an animal expert, just an animal lover," Wagner told reporter Doug Ireland. "I would do anything to help a poor animal in distress."
The eagle itself turned out to have an interesting story. The bird was banded and the serial numbers there led to the discovery that the eagle had been hatched in 2005 near the Scituate Reservoir in Rhode Island. The eagle, believed to be a female, is part of one of the 35 nesting pairs living in New Hampshire.
Well done to those who helped rescue this majestic bird.
JEERS to the twisted tales told by speeders.
Leonard Thomas Jr. of Methuen told a New Hampshire judge he had been speeding because he was rushing to get a part to fix a malfunctioning freezer at the Tuscan Kitchen restaurant in Salem. Thomas had been stopped on Route 28 traveling between 62 mph and 67 mph in a zone where the speed limit is 30 mph. That level of infraction normally would result in up to a 30-day suspension of a driver's license.
Judge Robert Stephen told Thomas that while saving the restaurant food was "a noble purpose," it did not meet the emergency test under New Hampshire law.
When Stephen asked the officer who gave out the ticket what excuse Thomas had given, the officer replied that Thomas had said his shoelace was caught on the accelerator.
Whoops! Seems there's a bit of a discrepancy there.
Still, the judge was willing to give Thomas a break and reduce the offense so he would not lose his license — until police prosecutor Jason Grosky asked him to look closely at Thomas's driving record. Thomas had a record of speeding in three states that Stephen deemed "incredible."
Stephen suspended Thomas' license for 30 days.
And so justice was served.
JEERS to poor care of veterans' graves.
All too often, we hear reports of poor conditions of the graves of veterans and non-veterans alike in local cemeteries. The latest comes from Elmwood Cemetery in Methuen, where people attending a Veterans Day ceremony were upset that veterans' graves were left covered with leaves and without American flags.
"The cemetery looked disgusting," said City Councilor Tom Ciulla at a recent meeting. "Veterans were crying actually looking at the gravestones. … Children, families, they were very, very upset."
DPW Director Raymond DiFiore said the graves were supposed to be cleared and have flags placed but there was "a miscommunication." Methuen Veterans Services Director Thomas Hargreaves said he will communicate plans to the DPW for next Veterans Day and Memorial Day two weeks in advance.
We owe our veterans at least this much: that their graves are presentable when we hold ceremonies to honor their service.

Is Rainforest Sunrise usually late to emerge? All surrounding hostas are well on their way and RS is only about two inches out of the ground. All hostas were planted at the same time. I've just never had one that was so slow to start and it was very small last year compared to similar size ones. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
My Rainforest Sunrise unfurled before Loyalist and American Hero. My last two were Mountain Snow and On Stage. And, the only one that has yet to unfurl is Rhino Blue, it's up to four shoots so far, but none have unfurled. Gesila |
It was one of the last to come up for me this year. Tropical Storm was slow as well. My last ones to unfurl are Tokudama F, Manhattan, Heatwave, and Rosedale Spoons. |
On Stage is still not showing. |
Mine is planted near a Golden Tiara, The Razor's Edge, Pineapple Poll, Journey's End and Paradigm and emerged last. It was still ahead of Fragrant Bouquet but not by much. Late is all relative! |
Mine is planted in pretty much full sun, next to August Moon, and in front of Key West. Out of a little over 200 hosta it was one of the first up and completely unfurled. I still have a few dozen that are just starting to unfurl. Rainforest Sunrise has been up for probably two weeks or more. |

My Powder Blue was SO SLOW .. I thought it would never show up, easily 5-6 weeks behind the first ... |
My On Stage is a little slower emerging than most, but 2 weeks ago when I visited my darlings I saw it popping through the poppys, which will be dieing back soon. I hope to get home and take a couple of Pics in the next couple of days. (see my new post on growing hostas with poppy). Les |

gallery Stylish Coachella Performers Coachella has undeniably become less about the music and more about the party — as in, who's DJing, who's sponsoring and what time does the open bar close. But despite the corporate fanfare that now surrounds the desert music fest, there's still some killer live music to be found on the Polo Fields in Indio — and with it comes equally-as-rad costume choices by those who are actually performing. While the parties are indeed a fashion show spectacular, we looked toward the tunes for our latest Top 10, and discovered a crop of authentically-cool Coachella performers who brought their own brand of style to the stage.

I just improved our ventilation by replacing my Nico vent with a new one. The new model has a sleeve inside which can be extended to make the seal very watertight from waves washing across the deck. This Nico is in our head. Right now the day/ night Nico are on sale at WM ( $40 off)
and cheaper than anywhere else
In addition we also bought a seperate Stailess Dorade from Vetus * was so impressed with T37Chefs I had to get one) and installed that with a mushroom vent inside/ under it which can be tightened down from inside the boat and makes it waterproof.

Record number of candidates
There is a record number of candidates seeking a seat in the assembly this year, but at least some Omanis are skeptical that assembly members and those who aspire to join them have a genuine desire to improve the country.
"All the members have personal interests. The majlis is a game," says recent university graduate Azzan al-Hilali, adding that members don't make a sincere effort to represent the people. "They earn enough money to widen their homes, and after four years they're finished."
According to Sayyida Tamadhir Al-Busaidi, director of the elections department in the Interior Ministry, 1,133 candidates have registered to compete for the 84 seats in Saturday's election.
But Mr. al-Hilali says the increase in numbers is only due to a desire to hold higher government positions in the future.
"The reason why there are so many candidates is because they want to become ministers," he says.
In an unprecedented move, the sultan selected seven former majlis members to hold minister positions in a cabinet shakeup earlier in the year.
Skepticism about the assembly
Until the majlis is given the new powers promised by the sultan, the majlis doesn't hold explicit power; its authorities include the ability to question government ministers and review government policy. Political parties are banned in Oman and individuals run independently for various districts around the country.
Murshid Al-Harthy, a university student, said the effectiveness of the majlis depends upon the motives of the members.
"It depends on candidates [being] willing to push themselves," he says. He adds that he won't vote because he doesn't know enough about the candidates.
Hamdan Al-Siyyabi, a soldier, is more optimistic about the majlis' actions.

Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life (8 entries)
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
How is BioLogos different from Evolutionism, Intelligent Design, and Creationism?
We at BioLogos believe that God used the process of evolution to create all the life on earth today. While we accept the science of evolution, we emphatically reject evolutionism. Evolutionism is the atheistic worldview that says life developed without God and without purpose. Instead, we agree with Christians who adhere to Intelligent Design and Creationism that the God of the Bible created the universe and all life. Christians disagree, however, on how God created. Young Earth Creationists believe that God created just 6,000 to 10,000 years ago and disagree with much of mainstream science. Supporters of Intelligent Design accept more of evolutionary science, but argue that some features of life are best explained by direct intervention by an intelligent agent rather than by God's regular way of working through natural processes. We at BioLogos agree with the modern scientific consensus on the age of the earth and evolutionary development of all species, seeing these as descriptions of how God created. The term BioLogos comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word), referring to the opening of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."

Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
The Doctrine of Creation in Historical Perspective
Christians have lost their ability to speak the "faith given to the saints." The problem is that the historic faith has become fragmented.
Series: The Human Fossil Record (19 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?

Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes (5 entries)
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology, Part 3
We find no compelling evidence that the earth's geological features can be explained by a global Flood. Here we consider three lines of evidence: global salt deposits, the order of deposition of sediment layers in the Grand Canyon, and the sequence of fossils in geological strata.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".

Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.

Think you're faster than Ted Ligety? Of course you don't. But if you want to get a sense of how much faster he is, jump in the NASTAR course at your local hill. Ted won't be there. But he raced against a guy who raced against a guy who will be there.
Dribs and drabs. Some snow guns here, a new groomer there, fresh carpet for the base-lodge bar...
Is this really how pampered we've become? Eastern skiers, after all, always prided themselves on being a little hardier than the rest. Rain, wind, frigid temps, and brutally cold lift rides—always just part of the experience.
Now Okemo and Leitner-Poma have teamed up to bring us…what…the ultimate high-speed sixpack for wussies, with heated seats to warm our buns and an orange-tinted bubble enclosure to keep out the wind, rain, and good old New England sleet.
Got a friend who needs to learn how to ski? A spouse or significant other? A friend of your kid's? Maybe it's up to you to turn them on to the sport you love, and there's no better time than January, National Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month.
I'm about to talk about Stratton Mountain, the ski resort that's just 10 minutes from where I grew up in Vermont, and I know what you're thinking: Ice. Bitterly cold temperatures. Liftlines crowded with New Yorkers and Bostonians. Terrain that's, well...the place is known as "Flatton."
Yes, it's all those things. But it's also my home ski area, and here's why I love it.
I'd like to thank all the guys—students at Norwich University, all pushing retirement age by now—who gave me shoulder rides to the top of my local hill in central Vermont. I was five, too small to hold down the poma platter. They made a little boy with a runny nose very happy. Man, how I loved to ski when I was five.
Lovers of Burke Mountain, now Q Burke, can't be blamed for being a little nervous about the transformation beginning to take place at their home hill.

An artist's rendition of Hitchbot on the road
Seeing as self-driving cars won't be a reality any time soon, robots need to find an alternate means of travel for the time being. Case in point, the HitchBOT, a tiny, rainboot-wearing robot who is looking to travel across Canada by (you guessed it) the time-honored tradition of hitchhiking. Even so, he's probably less eccentric than your average itinerant: With bright yellow Wellies strapped to his feet and a cake-saver helmet, HitchBOT has a bucket for a body and pool noodles for limbs and looks something like a child's storybook or TV show... which is kind of the point.
The brainchild of Dr. Frauke Zeller of Ryerson University and Dr. David Harris Smith of McMaster University, the HitchBOT was designed to travel some 6,000+ km from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design to Victoria, British Columbia, by means of friendly strangers. He comes fully equipped with 3G, GPS, WiFi and solar panels, so the hitchBOT team can track and receive texts/photos highlighting the droid's progress and deliver the updates to his quickly growing circle of fans. The robot will depend on the goodwill of travelers when he runs out of juice—once the energy from the solar panels is used up, all it takes is a simple connection to a car's cigarette lighter to reboot.
The droid is pretty limited when it comes to mobility—his only moving part is his arm—but can sit thanks to a retractable tripod. A car seat is attached to his torso for easy buckling. HitchBOT can also speak English (along with a few sentences of French) and has access to Wikipedia for small talk topics. You could do worse when it comes to a road-trip buddy.
But he's more than just an entertainment device: HitchBOT will collect stories from travelers and people around the world, as well as record the journey online. The intent of the project isn't just about miles covered, it's also looking to redefine the way humans and robots interact. A release from the HitchBOT team—which is adorably styled in first person—explains more:
I hope that my hitchhiking trip will allow me to meet many interesting people, see beautiful places and learn more about humanity. I want to take my time and also meet a variety of people, so I hope those I meet will be generous and understanding. I think my trip will lead to conversations about how robots and humans can live in harmony, and I hope that humans and robots can learn to trust each other as a result of my journey.
The many parts (and style choices) of HitchBOT
It's a fascinating and altogether optimistic take on the ongoing debate about whether or not humans will accept robots as peers: "This project takes it the other way around and asks: can robots trust human beings?" says Dr. Zeller. It's a certainly bold experiment, but it's not without precedent: It's like a scaled-up version of Kacie Kenzer's winsome Tweenbot, yet another hapless automaton who relied on the kindness of passersby:
There's no set route or schedule for HitchBOT's journey, but you can follow along online, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Starting July 27, if you see a child-sized cyborg chilling on the side of the road, give him a lift—and for the love of the motherboard in the sky, record the experience and share it with us non-Canadians.

text: Greetings Bold Type readers, This month's theme "Valentine's," and author/performer/actor Barry Yourgrau has taken it upon himself to entertain you with two of his highly original, dreamlike short stories. Specially chosen for this holiday of the heart, Mr. Yourgrau's perverse sense of humor and unique metaphorical prowess in these stories are a delight to read. Be sure to check out his wonderful audio readings of the stories and special Valentine's Day message to Bold Type readers. The other authors in this issue are a diverse lot, and none of their books fall into the category of Valentine's fodder. Sheri Holman's tale of a 15th-century religious pilgrimage and the mystery surrounding the stolen remains of Saint Katherine of Alexandria is absolutely enthralling. Ben Anastas' debut novel, An Underachiever's Diary, is a hilarious manifesto chronicling the misadventures of a charming anti-hero who takes enormous pride in his own mediocrity. The Other Side of the River, by renowned author and journalist Alex Kotlowitz, presents the problem of race in America through the prism of a young man's murder and its effect on two neighboring Michigan towns. It is a brilliant study in race relations that challenges our own assumptions and misperceptions. An illuminating author essay and interview further delve into this seemingly unconquerable societal disease. Don't miss this month's audio offering with readings from Holmand and Anastas, as well as an excerpt from the audio edition of The Other Side of the River. In other non-Valentine's buzz, New York's literati recently convened on the trendy downtown bistro Balthazar to toast Nobel laureate Toni Morrison and celebrate the release of her new novel, Paradise. The star-studded event was attended by the likes of Sam Shepard, Erica Jong, Joan Didion, Jay McInerney, Charlie Rose, former NYC mayor David Dinkins (who looked absolutely dapper), Ashford & Simpson, and others. Ms. Morrison, who has a tremendous presence in person, was serenaded by a saxophonist while the paparazzi did their thing and guests beamed. Some vied for the author's attention, while others were happy to simply partake in the open bar, but everyone had a wonderful time. Happy Reading! Larry Weissman Bold Type Editor |

4 tongue in razor toothed cheek...owensouthwood | 09/02/2011 | See all owensouthwood's reviews (77)Firstly you do not need a special TV for this. It comes with the red/blue glasses and includes both 2D and 3D version of the film. Personally I watched the 2D because I don't want the colour all spoiled and I think movies should stand on their own merit, not the 3D gimmick.Piranha is great fun actually. It is very hard to stop yourself liking this movie. Yes it is somewhat cliche and cheesy but it knows it, and doesn't take itself seriously at all. There are some really great scenes with really gruesome gore. Pirahna has its tongue firmly in its razor-toothed cheek, and if you keep this in mind you'll enjoy it that much more.Kelly Brook can't act for love nor money, but she looks GREAT on screen in her skimpy red bikini. The other nobodies are disposable fishing bait, with the possible exception of the hero family who you actually want to survive. The rest are obnoxious drunk teenagers and it's genuine fun watching them getting (or becoming) their just deserts.Great entertainment for horror fans, but definitely too gory for some. It actually contains one of the most memorable horror scenes I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of horror films!Piranha is no masterpiece of cinema, but I loved it for pure entertainment and gross-out silliness, humour and great special effects. I hope they make another one.

Dont expect miracles though. Dont get me wrong its still bloody good!!Not only does it capture you by the complete 10/10 gore value, it also has the 10/10 boob value for that different type of audience.Very well put together, making you jump and cringe with disgust in some places. The acting was superb.With a very good ending. Be warned now it is somewhat gorey!!Recommend!!! 4/5

If you big into horror then this is an absolute must have in the collection. The story is quite simple really a small town is invaded by killer piranha after being released from their underwater prison during an earth quake!! The mayhem starts and its non stop gore and bloody violence as they chomp their way through everyone!!! Its good old fashioned trashy horror with allot of charm, and i think allot of people will enjoy this film more than they think!! Kelly Brook is an awesome part of the movie too for the guys of course showing off her fine naked body!! I urge everyone to see this movie its 100% pure entertainment from start to the twisted end!!
4 seriously..what were people expecting?skeletor | 24/12/2010 | See all skeletor's reviews (49)Top 100 DVD Reviewer a life changing thriller with academy award winning acting?It's a 90 minute thrill-ride with gore, babes and laughs!An earthquake disturbs the floor of a giant lake and a giant school of marauding piranhas make a feast of anyone daring to enjoy it's cool and inviting waters.They head for a huge spring break festival that is taking place on the lake and what follows is a major gore fest that had me and my friends laughing one minute and going " ugh!! " the next!A local guy named Jake ( Vampire Dairies' Steven R.McQueen ) meets up with a former flame and gets involved with the making of a porn flick that is being filmed on the lake directed by slimy and eccentric producer Derrick Jones ( Jerry O'Connell ) and starring busty beauty Danni ( Kelly Brook ).However things turn tense and exciting the moment they realise they are being rounded up as lunch by our toothy critters circling in the waters below.Another sub-plot invloves Jake's mother, Julie Forester, the Deputy Sheriff and a mad marine biologist, Carl Goodman ( Christopher Lloyd ) who obtain one of the piranha as a live specimen.This was great fun and one thing i can recommend is that it is definately NOT a film to watch when enjoying a late night takeway or food-fest as it is, in places, VERY GORY!Disconnect your brain and enjoy!
4 A GORY PORNO!!!PATCHES1989 | 18/12/2010 | See all PATCHES1989's reviews (518)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer This could be seen as a mans ideal movie and as a guy i can agree with that as it does exactly what it sets out to do. It is a camp B-movie horror that has an enormous amount of blood and x rated nudity...maybe a little too much at times. Due to the camp nature of the film it also provides plenty of laughs and in 3D it really works well. Enjoy

148 teaching positions will be cut in Tulsa
By KWGS News
Due to funding cuts, 148-teaching position will be eliminated at the Tulsa Public Schools. Tulsa School Superintendent Doctor Keith Ballard blasted the legislature at last night's board meeting saying "this is what smaller government looks like."
Tulsa Classroom Teachers Association President Lynn Stockley says the legislature can't just keeping cutting and the administration can't keep adding to the teachers' plate. She says educators are demoralized by the cuts and increased requirements being placed upon them.
It does appear the TPS will be able to accomplish the cuts without lay-offs. They simply will not hire replacements for teachers that retire this year.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The large, two-day free health clinic sponsored by the National Association of Free Clinics (NAFC) in Kansas City on Wednesday and Thursday is not just for the sick but also for anyone who is uninsured and has not seen a doctor recently. All participants in the health clinic will receive preventive primary care.
"Many people who attended the three previous large free clinic events this fall in Houston, New Orleans and Little Rock found out they had health issues they didn't know about," NAFC Executive Director Nicole Lamoureux said. "Our physicians at these events dealt with multiple health conditions that saved people's lives. We expect much of the same will happen at the free clinic at Kansas City's Bartle Hall."
At the one-day free clinic in Little Rock on Nov. 21, doctors found that more than 90 percent of the more than 1,000 patients had three or more life-threatening conditions, such as cardio-vascular disease, hypertension, diabetes and pulmonary disease. Similar results were found among more than 1,000 patients at the free clinics in New Orleans Nov. 14 and in Houston Sept. 26.
"In addition to providing needed care, these clinics connect the uninsured with safety-net providers such as free clinics near where they live for regular treatment on an ongoing basis," Lamoureux said.
Uninsured residents of the Kansas City area should call 877-249-5030 toll-free as soon as possible to schedule appointments for the free health clinic at Bartle Hall on Dec. 9-10. Walk-ins will be accepted, but they will be seen on a first-come-first-served basis, so scheduling an appointment is the best way to avoid a long wait.
Several hundred doctors, other medical providers and non-medical volunteers are expected to participate in the C.A.R.E. (Communities Are Responding Everyday) Clinic sponsored by the NAFC. They will provide care for a wide range of medical issues

Shaffers: Library still needs work
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
To the editor:
We have an "impressive" library in Maybell?
I'm sure the board of directors were impressed. But, they didn't look close enough. We in Maybell are pleased and lucky to still have a library in Maybell.
The major problem with this is the fact that it isn't user-friendly. The engineer of this project lacked a lot in the thought department.
The books are jammed into one trailer with narrow, dead-end aisles, and jammed into the shelves very tight.
Then, at least half the books are end-wise rather than with the bindings and names showing.
Also, the bottom shelves are very difficult to access so close to the floor.
Did I also mention with the aisles so narrow and the lighting poor it makes it difficult?
I think the board of directors should take a closer look. We are older patrons and maybe a bit cranky, but there is more room.
Why not spread it out a bit?
Diane and Albert Shaffer

Yeah you had an accident that could happen to anyone. It sucks but does happen, even to the most experienced folks.
As far as your outboard.... What I would do is pull it off the boat take it home and get an old oil barel mount the engine to it so you have water cooling then you can do whatever repairs needed right there next to your doorstep.
Don't worry about the bow, take the boat to a boatyard to look at the mast. That collision could cause damage to the chain plates, deck, rigging, not to say it did, just that it could and you should have an expert look at it. For what it is worth there is a guy selling an Catalina 22 mast and rigging for 275 on craigslist in the sf bay area right now.
Don't kick yourself in the butt. It happens just fix the damage

Several weeks ago I went mountain climbing. Not really, but I did volunteer to take part in my church's Project Beautiful work day. One of our mission goals is to bring beauty to our community in small ways, be it picking up trash, pulling weeds or painting houses. I can't remember the last time I volunteered to do anything involving manual labor, especially in the hot humidity where I might get sweaty and/or dirty. If it might mess my hair, I tend to avoid it.

"Nancy is a rat fink," he said.
It's true.
Season 6 of AMC's "Mad Men" ended recently with the main character, Don Draper, finally (Hopefully) hitting rock bottom. For the first five seasons, the Madison Avenue ad man of the 1960s was the man every other man wanted to be and the man every woman wanted to be with. Smooth, handsome, supremely talented at his job, he could charm his way into or out of anything. At the same time, Don Draper lived a lie. Born Dick Whitman, he grew up dirt poor in a Pennsylvania whorehouse, the son of a prostitute.

Great price Easy ordering process Super fast shipping

Users of heavy rackets- do you keep a spare racket in your bag which is lighter?

I quoted this because it's also happened to me. Sometimes I'm "off" in one way or another and switching to a different frame can effectively reset my synapses a little bit. I've switched to a slightly lighter frame a few times, but I've switched to a heavier option, too. An alternative racquet doesn't necessarily need to be significantly different to be plenty useful, I think.
Sure, I have my go-to frames, but I have a few different ones that I also like a LOT for one aspect or another. Sometimes if I'm not clicking, grabbing a different racquet out of the bag can jolt my awareness or timing so that I might feel a little more functional on the courts. While I don't do this constantly and I also understand that hitting the ball well is about me and not the racquet, I've definitely felt better here and there after making a mid-outing racquet switch.

Overall Experience
Stop over on our way to northern MD
ByMik in NC
January 09, 2015
Chose this facility because it was approximately halfway on our journey north and pet friendly. Turns out the location is in nowheresville, i.e., no amenities close by, unless one considers an "Irish" fast food outlet a place to get dinner after a 5 hr drive. Staff was very pleasant and helpful but the room was stinky from unknown food odors, carpet was filthy and the kitchen and bathroom floors were STICKY to walk on and also FILTHY.
There is a sister facility nexy door which you might want to look into. On the way back we bypassed this place.
excellent staff
January 05, 2015
A1 hotel and staff, need a choice of pillows though
Great Service
December 26, 2014
Great experience, the room was very comfortable and the customer service was execellent
Nice Hotel Under New Management
December 08, 2014
I stay at this Hotel when ever I am in Richmond. My company tries to put in a up scale Downtown Hotel but I, myself don't like stress of downtown parking one way streets, and other things. This hotel is on the South-side and have never had a problem there. The Staff, in-particular Barb and Erica, will do whatever it takes to make you comfortable, happy, and will go the extra mile to assist you, The best part they do it with a smile, make you feel at home, and never make you feel it is an inconvenience. The hotel does need to updating and cosmetic work in the rooms, like shower heads, update the phones so you can get your messages, and new carpet throughout, but hat is about it. If they are still going to have smoke rooms then they should put really good exhaust systems in those rooms so the rest of the hotel does not smell like smoke. I am a smoker but do not smoke in the rooms nor do I want to stay in a smoking room, don't like that smell. Over all it is a nice hotel and would recommend it.

"Our second quarter results keep us on track to achieve our full year objectives," said Tyler Painter, CFO of Solazyme. "Our operating and capital expenditures remain within our expectations. As we near the commencement of production at Moema and Clinton, our commercialization path is supported by a strong capital structure and a supportive group of partners."
Recent Business Highlights
- Solazyme Continues to Expand Disruptive Technology Platform: Solazyme has demonstrated the ability to produce high-value erucic acid through its proprietary microalgae platform. High erucic oil is the second oil in the suite of tailored oils being developed under the JDA with Mitsui, with myristic oil being the first. Erucic acid is commonly found in some rapeseed and mustard seed oils and is currently used mainly as an emulsifier in multiple industries including cosmetics and as a plastics additive.
- Finalizes Commercial Supply Terms with Sasol: Solazyme and Sasol have finalized commercial terms for the supply of an algal oil rich in erucic acid for production of behenyl alcohol. The companies also signed a letter of intent to expand the relationship to a broad collaboration, including joint manufacturing and marketing of multiple tailored oils.
- Rapidly Establishing Commercial-Scale Capability to Produce Nutritional Products: Solazyme is establishing new large-scale manufacturing capability for high protein and high lipid products that were previously part of the Solazyme Roquette Nutritionals joint venture. Production of both products is targeted to begin at Solazyme's Peoria facility this year.
- Solazyme and AkzoNobel Enter into Joint Development Agreement: Partnership targets the development of advanced tailored oils and commercial sales for the specialty surfactants and paints and coatings markets. The agreement is centered on a shared commitment to the production of high-performance triglyceride-based products that improve upon the performance of plant oils and animal fats.

Chevrolet Suburban Power Steering
I need some help, I have a 2001 Chevy Suburban with 47000 miles on it. I went to drive it yesterday and it is hard to turn. There is a little fluid leaking from the under part. I am thinking it is the power steering due to it being hard to turn. Does anyone know if this is true and if it is, could this just be due to low fluid? And if not, does anyone know the price range for fixing the power steering in it?
maad4 Posts: 2I have a 2000 Sub 2500 4x4 and recently experienced a power steering squealing problem. After taking it to the dealer they informed me that the pump was bad. Unwilling to pay them the $675.00 dollars to replace it for me I decided to start calling my buddies. Sure enough one of the had a friend who worked for an auto parts supplier and got me the pump for about $80 bucks with exchange. The job took me about 2 hours and I had to borrow a pulley remover from Autozone but it saved me almost $600 bucks. The job is a little messy but so what thats 600 bucks. By the way the squealing went away and it is a lot easier to turn.

Let's do the math. You have power steering fluid leaking from the unit under your vehicle. Your steering is now hard to turn. Answer: Obviously if the fluid is low on fluid the unit will not perform properly. How much to fix? Best to get an estimate from a good indie repair shop. That will be cheaper than going with a dealer. The PS unit normally is an easy fix or replacement. -

cleudard Posts: 1I have a 2000 1500 burb 4wd 5.3. My steering used to get hard only in the summer when the car was hot. The problem went away the rest of the time. Well, it is summer now but I'm getting tired of this problem. The pump is probably 4 yrs old & there are no leaks. Is this a variable assist system? Is there a speed sensor used?
Is there a P.S.filter where I can't see? Or do I just need to bite the bullet & throw another pump at it? -
arrie Posts: 312Power steering system consists of two parts. One is the pump and the other is the power steering unit.
You say turning left is light as it is supposed to be but turning right is a work out.
Obviously pump is working as left turn is ok so you need to look at the power steering unit, i.e. possibly replace it. Should not be too expensive job either.

paul120 Posts: 1On my 2002 Suburban, lately the power steering has started to go light (as if over-assisted) when on the road, both low speed and highway. It may get light so that it is hard to control, or even so light that you can spin the steering wheel with one finger and feel nothing. My friend with an 01 says they notice the same issue. What's up?
staceyrena Posts: 2
blackpacific1 Posts: 27We have the same problem. In turns the power steering will suddenly become over assisted. It happens both left and right. I have the power steering pump out while replacing the intake manifold gasket, and I plan to replace the corroded power steering hoses, but I don't want to replace the pump unless it is the problem. Any insight would be appreciated.
sharp_1 Posts: 1I've been having the same problem for about 2 years now on my '02 Suburban. I've also had the hard right turning problem for about the last 3 years and for the last 5 years have been dealing with a seemingly loose steering linkage (feels like a small knock in the wheel when going over small bumps).
All of which I have brought to my dealer for diagnostics:
1) The loose linkage was "repacked" with grease about 4 years ago under warranty and came back about a year later after the warranty ran out of course.
2) The right turning issue was diagnosed as a bad steering gear which would entail replacing the steering box at a price of well over $1K
3) The free feeling wheel I was told is related to the steering gear box. Dealer told me none of the items are safety issues but would cost $$$$'s to repair.
So, at 158K miles, I have made the executive decision not to do any steering repairs until either something starts leaking on my squeaky clean garage floor or I hit a tree. We'll see how that goes...so far so good!!!
We still love our Suburban by the way...it's by far the best out of the 5 we've had to date. -

dsharpless Posts: 5Edit to posting #16.
Drove vehicle on highway today. Wheel turns right okay, left with very little hangup at highway speeds. when stopped at idle, wheel very hard if at all turning left and turns fine to the right. If u give it throttle while sitting still and turning left the wheel snaps loose and u can turn the wheel. the steering column area inside the vehicle makes a moderate to loud noise while trying to turn left sitting still (like air pressure escaping.) Hope this helps! Thanks for the Help. -
dsharpless Posts: 5Well I thought I'd try something diff and go online and ask for some help diagnosing
something in the car repair world that I haven't fooled with much. This is my 3rd online repair site and no answer from anyone. I guess this world will never change! There is nothing free anymore, not even info. Maybe my wife will hit a tree and I will kill 2 birds with one stone. Don't have to fix power steering and she'll be gone. Damn thats wrong! Have fun all u backyard mechanics.. -
nikkita123 Posts: 1Hi we were leaving church this morning and the power steering just stopped working. There was no warning of any kind. There seemed to be a bit of an alignment issue but nothing sever. When warm the fluid level reads at the cold level not the warm. If there was some power fluid still in the SUV would the power steering just stop working?
Should i go buy more power steering fluid? or would that be a waste of time? -

dsharpless Posts: 5Hey Dan, It does turn one way not the other right! I pretty sure mine needs a steering gear. I read( maybe it was here) if it turns one way or the other then the pump is working. There is an EVO switch on bottom backside of pump and a mechanic told me to unhook the switch and I should have power assist. This is the same mechanic that told it may need a rack. I DON'T HAVE A RACK! He also told me it may need a pump after I told him I replaced the pump yesterday. Ill definitly keep u in mind when I fix mine. I used to do alot of mechanic work but never did much steering, so this one's got me stumped. Oh, unhooking the switch didn't help. The gear is gonna run me $215.00 from pep boys or auto zone here in Annapolis, Maryland.
arrie Posts: 312Power steering working in one direction but not in the other means the pump is working, i.e. if the pump is out it does not work in either direction.
If you are a hands-on self mechanic like I understand from your post try to disassemble the steering gear if you have time for that. Why I suggest this is that at least in my Tahoe there is some kind of a limit switch built in the gear. When I turn the wheels all the way right or left I hear some sort of a click or pop sound and power steering assistance stops. This obviously is to stop power steering from forcing the steering linkage against the end of travel limits.
If this limit switch gets stuck it means that power steering assistance does not work in direction the switch is at.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you anything more about this as I have not had any problems with mine.

dsharpless Posts: 5Thank you Arrie for getting back to me. Sorry if i sounded like a real [non-permissible content removed] but I Don't have much patience. I just want to fix it and move on to something more fun. Pretty much ur telling me I need a gear and everything I've read and my suburbans symptoms it all points to gear. My luck if I tear it apart all those little ball bearings will go everywhere around the worm gear. Take Care and Thanks Again!
mainard Posts: 1While out in the woods, I slid into a rut and it messed up the steering somehow. When the wheels are straight the steering wheel is upside down. It still dives fine and handles well. There is no play, no wierd sounds and there is nothing bent underneath. Besides the steering wheel issue the only other issue that I noticed is that it won't turn all the way to the right. Anyone have any idea?

geardriven Posts: 1I recently purchased a 1999 Suburban for weekend lake duty. The truck had a nasty steering fluid leak and I quickly found it to be the steering gear. Additionally, when test driving I noticed that the steering was too tight at 12 o'clock and constant input had to be given to keep it staight. I realized that the previous owner or a shop may have over-tightened the gear adjustment. Anyway, I replaced the gear and pitman and upon completion my truck drives MUCH better, tracks straight, and no leaks. THE PROBLEM, crooked steering wheel (11 o'clock while straight). I didnt notice (couldnt have) this before due to the goofy steering adjustment.
While I would think that I may have mis-aligned something during the replacement its kinda hard to do. The pitman can only be wrong 90 degrees at a time-so thats straightforward. The connection for the column to gear input shaft seems to be the more likely culprit but it only seems to go back on when the flat (keyed? bevel?) area on the spline matches the column joint. AM I RIGHT ON THIS? Can the column and gear input be a spline or two off? With the 11-12oclock steering wheel it could not be more than a spline. Again, it just didnt seem to want to mate back up any other way.
Yes, I marked them when removed but used new parts so had to transfer the marks from the old parts the best I could.
If the mentioned spline CAN BE INDEXED, do I need to do it at the column or by turning the rest of the steering. I realize the precautionaries (air bag) of turning the disengaged column-but 1 degree? I strapped the wheel during replacement but really dont understand the risk or whether a 1 spline index change would matter.
janssuburban Posts: 1Turned on cold 2002 suburban with no prior steering problems. Turned wheel hard right to back into driveway and power steering failed. Any fuses or simple possible fixes far fairly handy owner ? What would likely cause such a failure? Guessing its related to my maxing the turn . Any help would be appreciated.
01sub Posts: 1My 01 had the same problem, it all started with old pump and replacement blowing seals, then steering was to loose feeling. Seals in steering box started leaking,all caused by the speed sensor valve in powersteering pump. $10.00 part, hard to get to!!! To much pressure is causing your problem, replace before it blows out all your seals!
leahbrown Posts: 1My Suburban drives just fine, BUT it does have a power steering leak. That's not the problem though. The problem is from time to time when you steer to the right it seems like it get's stuck on something. I give it a little jerk to the right and it works past it. Completely lost here folks on what it is and what to do short of going to a mechanic which I do not want to have to do. If anyone could help us out it would be greatly appreciated thanks so much! ~Leah~

Sounds like you are trying to run INF from inside UT..this won't work.
If you installed the game with the UMOD there should be a new folder in your startmenu with a shortcut to play INF, it runs from it's own .exe (this all assumes you're on a PC, if you're on a Mac then there's still a separate launcher, but one of the Mac guys will half to give you the answer, I haven't installed 2.85 on my Mac at work...yet )  |

Hello & Welcome!
I have always felt a draw to contribute my energy and passion to something bigger than myself; to moments that people share that last a second but live on in their life stories for generations. This draw to human interaction involving relationships, culture, and moments in time is what led me to study anthropology in college and is what later led me to find my passion in photography.
Being a photographer allows me the opportunity to see another's worldview and examine how at the end of the day, we are all humans weaving our own stories.
What I will do for you is capture those moments and tell your story in the most genuine way possible.
It will be honest. It will be you.

Wal-Mart creates fund to back US manufacturing
WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc, the world's largest retailer, said on Thursday it has created a $10 million (S$12.7 million) fund to support manufacturing in the United States, and that one of its bicycle suppliers plans to start production in the U.S. this year.
Bill Simon, Wal-Mart's US president, said at the United States Conference of Mayors' winter meeting in Washington, DC, that Wal-Mart and its philanthropic arm, the Walmart Foundation, will provide the funds for the five-year program, offering grants to innovators in U.S. manufacturing.
The announcement was the latest in Wal-Mart's year-old push to boost U.S. manufacturing. It has vowed to buy an additional US$50 billion in US-made products over the next decade.
A number of the company's long-time suppliers are returning production to the United States, as rising wages in China and elsewhere have made offshore production less lucrative.
