The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Fleeing Haiti, family gets hit by Chile quake
`My God, I left my country and I didn't die, but I'm going to die here!'
SAN BERNARDO, Chile - The Desarmes family left their native Haiti two
weeks after the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake, joining the eldest son in
Chile for what seemed a refuge from the fear and chaos of Port-au-Prince.
Their sense of security lasted barely a month. It was shattered at 3:43
a.m. Saturday when one of the most powerful quakes on record shook a swath
of Chile.
All the Desarmes' immediate family survived both quakes. But twice cursed,
the family now sleeps in the garden of a home that the eldest son, Pierre
Desarmes, found for them just south of the Chilean capital of Santiago.
They fear yet another temblor will strike.
"I left my country and came here because of an earthquake," Seraphin
Philomene, a 21-year-old student and cousin of Desarmes, said Wednesday.
"And here, the same thing!"
"My God, I left my country and I didn't die, but I'm going to die here!"
Pierre Desarmes, 34, managed to get his family out of Haiti thanks to
personal contacts at the Chilean Embassy in Port-au-Prince and the Chilean
armed forces. Nine members of his family - his parents, two brothers and
their families, and three cousins - arrived in Santiago on a Chilean air
force plane Jan. 23.
Desarmes, the lead singer of a popular Haitian reggaeton band in Chile,
still gets choked up when he recalls seeing his family for the first time
stepping off the plane.
"I saw them but I didn't believe it. I said, 'My God, they're here.' It
was a very difficult moment," he said, speaking in French in the garden of
the house the family now calls home.
"Each time I think about it, I get sad, because I realize I was able to do
this because I was here. But there are so many people who are there and I
don't know what's going to happen to them."
Deeply unsettled
His relatives had to leave Haiti with only hours' notice, receiving
instructions on where to go via cell phone text messages from a relative
in the United States who was in contact with Desarmes in Santiago.
Philomene didn't even have time to pack, dashing to the Chilean Embassy
when she received word the family had been cleared to fly out.
Saturday's earthquake has made a difficult transition even more traumatic.
"When the aftershocks come, they refuse to stay in the house," Desarmes
said, sipping a Coke at a table in the garden, his relatives sitting
"I have to talk to them all day long telling them: 'There are no problems,
it's a country that's prepared for earthquakes, it'll pass, it's not so
bad.' But they don't hear me. Psychologically for them, they're still
really affected by it."
Desarmes' brother, Stanley Desarmes, 32, is deeply unsettled. The father
of a 2-year-old girl, Nelia, who plays in the yard, he worries for his
family's safety and is thinking about uprooting them again to move
somewhere with less danger of earthquakes.
"I don't know what I can do, but staying isn't possible," he said. "I
could die and I could lose my family. I have to leave. I don't know where,
I don't know how. But I don't want to die with my family here."
Philomene, his cousin, plans to stay, hoping to bring the rest of her
family to Chile. She was the only member of her immediate family to get
out because she was living with the Desarmes in the Haitian capital to
finish her studies. Her mother, father, two sisters and a brother are
still in Cap-Haitien, a town in northern Haiti about 90 miles from the
"I've had no news from them," she said, choking up.
`God is looking out for us'
Reached late Wednesday by The Associated Press in Cap-Haitien, Philomene's
father, Luigene Philomene, was elated at the news that his daughter was
safe. He said he hadn't heard from her since before Chile's earthquake and
had been trying to reach relatives in Port-au-Prince for an update.
The elder Philomene said when he heard that his daughter had been in the
Chile earthquake he thought of a Haitian saying that loosely translates as
"we saved her from the river and she ended up in the sea." Now he feels
she has divine protection and the 43-year-old said he would eagerly join
his daughter in South America if he could.
"God is looking for out for us," he said. "Our family didn't die in Haiti
so they aren't going to die in Chile either."
Francius Pierre, a cousin of Seraphin's in Port-au-Prince, had already
learned from a brother that his relatives in Chile survived. Pierre, a
university student who injured his knee in the Haitian quake, said
Seraphin and his other relatives moved from Haiti for safety.
"If they knew something like this could happen again they never would have
gone," he said.

It may be too little, too late for the Red Storm to find themselves in the field of 68 NCAA Tournament teams come March, but they aren't going down without a fight.
In typical St. John's fashion, the Red Storm took down one of the best teams in college basketball on Sunday at Madison Square Garden, defeating the 12th-ranked Creighton Bluejays 70-65, pushing the Johnnies' record to 15-9 and 5-6 in Big East conference play.
It seems like the Johnnies defeat a top ranked team at least once every season despite being underdogs, and the Red Storm couldn't have picked a better time to pull the annual upset.
With seven games left on the schedule, including four at home and two within two hours of New York City, the Red Storm need to come away with at least five wins to find themselves on the tournament bubble.
Twenty wins is known as the unofficial benchmark for being considered a strong contender for the NCAA Tournament, and anything less than five victories will most likely leave the Johnnies on the outside looking in.
On Sunday, the Red Storm certainly looked like a team that belonged in the tournament, a miraculous turnaround from their January struggles in which they dropped five straight contests.
Creighton's Doug McDermott is, without question, the best player in the Big East and is arguably the best player in college basketball. He torched St. John's on his way to 39 points two weeks ago. He leads the conference in scoring. Despite McDermott's freakish ability to move without the ball, get open and score, the Red Storm were able to hold him scoreless for the final eight crucial minutes of the contest.
The Johnnies switched on screens and pressured him so much that McDermott wasn't even able to attempt a shot during those final minutes.
After the Creighton star made a layup for his 24th and 25th points with 8:40 to go to give the Bluejays a 59-57 lead, the Red Storm's offense kicked into a fifth gear.
Junior guard D'Angelo Harrison, the Johnnies' best offensive weapon, scored 10 points in the final eight minutes, with two of his baskets either tying the game or giving the Red Storm the lead.
His three-pointer with two minutes left gave St. John's a 65-63 advantage they would never relinquish.
Harrison, who sits third in the Big East in scoring with 18 points-per-game, finished with 19 points while center Chris Obekpa finished with 11 points and six rebounds.
Rysheed Jordan, who was named the Big East Rookie of the Week after scoring 18 points against Providence on Feb. 4, finished with five points, five rebounds and seven assists.
But it was the defensive prowess of the Johnnies that fueled the upset of Creighton, at least Doug McDermott thought so.
"They did a great job of taking me away," McDermott said. "They were really disciplined a lot more down the stretch, so you've got to give them credit."
Red Storm coach Steve Lavin, who two months ago was the subject of whispers regarding a potential coaching change in the near future, has firmly reattached himself to his position as coach for right now. If he leads the Johnnies to an NCAA Tournament berth that many experts before the season believed would feature the Red Storm, his job is more than safe.
"I think this group is developing at a nice rate," Lavin said. "The hardship we faced earlier in the season seems to have forged a certain strength. We haven't achieved anything of significance, but tonight's win is another hurdle that has been cleared and an indication that this team is improving."
The Red Storm were set to cross the Hudson River to visit Seton Hall on Thursday, followed up with duels against Georgetown and Butler at Madison Square Garden on Sunday and Tuesday respectively.
The Johnnies' struggles began in earnest during their loss to Georgetown on Jan. 4, as St. John's found themselves down by more than 30 in the second half of that game. If the Red Storm can upset Georgetown, Queens has a real shot of being represented in the NCAA Tournament this year.

Full-length antibodies have captured a significant fraction of the sales volume and value of the biopharmaceuticals market. With increasing knowledge, however, it has been recognized that full-length antibodies may not always be necessary or even desirable. Antibody fragments provide the opportunity for new therapeutic possibilities. Moreover, antibody fragments have the potential for simpler, high-yielding production processes, which can translate into a lower manufacturing cost-of-goods and extended therapeutic benefit. This article discusses the structure and production strategies available for various types of antibody fragment therapeutics.
Antibody fragments, on the other hand, can provide highly specific binding as well as a number of therapeutic advantages including: flexibility in structure: a diverse range of binding structures can be assembled from antibody-binding domains giving bispecific or greater binding possibilities per molecule enhanced penetration of tissues (particularly of solid tumors) because of their smaller size elimination of immunogenicity to the Fc region (fragment structures can be designed without an Fc region) simpler production systems. Fragment antibody production is possible with microbial systems such as E. coli and yeasts, translating into lower cost-of-goods (CoGs) and wider application of the benefits of such therapeutic molecules.

16 Flirty Text Messages To Drive Him Wild With Desire!
By Sean Jameson
Keeping a relationship fun, exciting and hot is crucial if you want that initial spark to never, ever fade. That's why I have put together this list of fun, sexy, flirty text messages to use on your partner whenever you feel like things are getting boring.
(P.S. If you want to learn my best dirty talking tips & techniques, you'll find them in this powerful video. Enjoy!)
Remember: just because this is a list of text messages, it doesn't mean that you can't use them to flirt with your man over Facebook, email, IM, Twitter or even when talking on the phone.
Before I actually get to the list of flirty text messages to use on your man, I need to give you a little disclaimer first. This is just so that when you do use them, they are super effective and also to make sure that you don't accidentally misuse them.
The most important thing to know when using a text message to flirt with your man is that it should be used as a spice, not as the main course. What I mean by this is that you should use them sparingly. If every second text message you send your man is a sexy text, then it's quickly going to get boring and they will lose their intended effect very quickly.
The next thing that you must understand is that flirty does not necessarily mean filthy. Sure, some flirty text messages that you can send will sound a little risque, but they don't have to. In fact, you are going to quickly discover that the more subtle your message is and the more that it's filled with innuendo, the more powerful that it will be.
Lastly, you will find that sending your man a flirty text message can be the perfect way to build anticipation and keep him thinking about you for a long, long time before you even hang out together.
By the way, if you are looking to learn how to give your man an incredible oral sex, you may be interested in watching this tutorial video, where I'll teach you everything you need to do to blow his mind.
So now that we have covered some of the important things to keep in mind if you want these flirty text messages to be effective, let's learn exactly what to send.
- Why do I always think of you when I'm trying to concentrate on studying...Grrr, hate you so much right now!
- What would you do if I told you that I have an identical twin sister?
- Had trouble sleeping last night, needed you there snuggling me.
- Would you be mad if we made Saturday 'Naked Day'?
- Should I wear a short skirt tonight or a really short skirt?
- If you could only do one thing sexually with me for the rest of your life, what would it be?
- I think I just saw you or someone that looked just like you, are you wearing a green turtleneck today?
- I'm thinking about becoming celibate for the rest of my life, what do you think?
- What would you like me to wear tonight?
- I had a dream about you last night, it was hot!
- Do you think you could beat me in an arm wrestle?
- I've got a surprise for you later, I think you're going to really like it ;)
- I was thinking of dressing up in something hot tonight, what would you prefer, maid or nurse?
- I'm wearing a colored bra today, guess what color!
- Explain something to me—what's the big deal with threesomes?
- Stop thinking about me! It's hard isn't it ;)
Please don't think you have to use every single one of these flirty messages on your man. Just pick and choose the ones that you like and use them. If you are just starting a relationship with your man, then you probably don't want to use any of the more risque or sexual text messages at first. Lastly don't be afraid to change, adapt and modify these messages slightly to fit your life and your man. So you could change 'studying' to 'working', etc.
More Firty, Dirty Talking Tips - The flirty text messages you have just read are some of my more basic ones. If you want to learn my more advanced and 'out there' examples, along with how to give great oral sex, then you'll find everything on the Bad Girl's Bible site. Click here to find out more.

6 Reasons To Date A Guy Who Lives With His Parents
By Denise Ngo
So you've met a great guy. He's handsome, he's well-educated, he runs marathons, and he can even assemble an IKEA bookshelf in under an hour. Like most things in life, though, there is a catch: he still lives with his parents. It's not even as if he's 22, his parents are sick and need extra care, or that his bachelor pad just happened to burn down, leaving him out on the streets. Apparently, he just really enjoys being around Mom, Dad, Rusty the dog, and having immediate access to homemade cannoli.
Deal breaker? Don't act too fast. Dating an adult male who still lives with Mom and Dad certainly has its perks, including the following:
1. Clean laundry!
We've all dated that guy who will play Halo for five hours straight, but who somehow can't afford to spend two hours doing his laundry. Maybe his mom is a laundry monger, or maybe she just complains about the scent of sweaty clothes before you do, but chances are, a guy who lives with Mom will wear a crisp shirt and a fresh pair of jeans every day. If you're lucky, they might even be starched and ironed. Isn't it nice cuddling with someone who smells like fabric softener instead of the men's locker room? 10 Items Of His We'd Like To Toss
2. Less competition from other women.
Let's be real: a 28 year-old male who still lives at home isn't exactly a hot commodity. So what? Do you really want other women clamoring for dates with your Chris Pine look-alike? Why Geeks Are The New Chic
3. The possibility of being caught in the act is thrilling.
You'd be surprised how creative this guy is at finding ways to sneak around the parentals. He knows what time they sleep, and he knows what time they putter around the upstairs hallway near his bedroom. He also knows how to shut doors quietly, tiptoe around the squeaky stair, and silence a barking dog. Sure, sexytime might take place just 20 feet away from his sleeping parents, but when it comes to the fine art of secrecy, dating a guy who still lives with his parents is the closest you'll come to dating a ninja.
4. Indirect access to an extensive DVD, music and book collection.
While the average boyfriend's DVD collection would consist of South Park, Rambo, and The Godfather I – III, the combined tastes of at least three different people guarantee that in Mom and Dad's house, there will be something that you'll like. Plus, isn't it refreshing to visit your guy and hear someone other than Young Jeezy playing through the speakers? 7 Book Characters Hotter Than Edward Cullen

Chair, Department of Medicine: Robert A. Phillips, M.D., Ph.D.
Lenox Hill Hospital, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, is a 652-bed fully accredited not-for-profit acute-care hospital and a teaching affiliate of NYU Medical Center. In addition to serving neighborhood residents and visitors, the hospital provides specialty services and tertiary care to people from throughout the New York metropolitan area and beyond.
Founded in 1857 as the German Dispensary, today's 10-building Lenox Hill Hospital complex has earned a national reputation for excellence in patient care, physician training, medical research, and community outreach.
Under the leadership of Dr. Robert A. Phillips, the Department of Medicine plays a key role in maintaining Lenox Hill Hospital's tradition of excellence in medicine and its commitment to medical education and scholarly activity.
Encompassing 18 divisions, as well as Centers of Excellence and numerous general medical and medical specialty outpatient programs, the Department of Medicine is responsible for a total of 324 inpatient beds and some 515 attending physicians. Recent clinical milestones for the department include the opening in late 2003 of an ACE (Acute Care for the Elderly) Unit, a 12-bed Medical Intensive Care Unit, a six-bed step-down unit, and an academic hospitalist service.
In 2004 new Division Directors were appointed in Gastroenterology, to develop the interventional Gastroenterology service, and in Neurology, to develop an epilepsy program and to expand stroke services.
The Department of Medicine at Lenox Hill is actively engaged in promoting research and scholarly activity. Current departmental investigations include many active clinical trials in cardiovascular medicine, hypertension, gastroenterology, geriatrics, nephrology, hematology/oncology, and medical informatics.
Funding for these investigations has been provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIDDKD and NHLBI), New York State (Early Clinical Research Investigator Program-ECRIP), various foundations, and both the pharmaceutical and device industries.
With 88 residents and two chief residents, the Department of Medicine is also firmly committed to developing new curriculum and innovative clinical, academic, and community service opportunities for the Internal Medicine Residency Training Program.
The department has taken a national leadership role in implementing new core competencies that train residents in quality improvement, systems-based practice, and practice-based learning and improvement. The department has also significantly strengthened its commitment to the Lenox Hill community by fostering the involvement of medical residents in health-promotion programs directed at public school students, homeless women, and senior citizens.
A formal institutional affiliation between Lenox Hill Hospital and New York University School of Medicine was established in 1993. Since then, the close working relationship between NYU and the Department of Medicine at Lenox Hill has been continuously expanding.
First-year NYU medical students participate in an ambulatory experience at Lenox Hill, while second-year students rotate through the hospital's Medical Service. Third-year students rotate to Lenox Hill Hospital as part of the clerkships in Internal Medicine and Intensive Care Medicine.
The department's faculty and residents are actively involved in teaching, precepting, mentoring, and evaluating third-year students during their clinical clerkships. The rotations at Lenox Hill are directed by Medical Student Coordinator John O'Grady, M.D., who has been recognized on three separate occasions for his outstanding work with students.
The Department's Chairman Emeritus, Michael S. Bruno, M.D., has served as an Associate Dean of NYU School of Medicine since 1991. The Department of Medicine at Lenox Hill also collaborates with NYU School of Medicine to provide mechanisms for implementing curricular changes in postgraduate medical education. In particular, the department is assisting NYU in exposing medical residents to new competencies of practice-based learning and improvement and systems-based practice.

I recently moved from extract to all grain brewing and have been experiencing problems with beer that has a hollow or watery taste after fermentation. All my number look right throughout the entire process however the finished product lacks the flavor characteristics I am looking for. I have been using a single step infusion mash at approximately 154 F for 60 to 90 min and using iodine to test for complete conversion. After boil my OG is right on and after fermentation my FG is always close. Has anyone else had a problem like this?
i have been having the same problem - depending on the style i have taken to adding extra crystal . my last ale i also mashed at 156-157 and noticed better mouthfeel and aftertaste
simplified signature: beer, wine, cheese in various stages of production
Maintaining mash temperature is the toughest part of all grain. Since it is easy for temperatures to drop a little on the edges of the tun, mashing at 154F can result in thinner, more fermentable worts. Slightly higher temperatures will reduce the beta amylase activity and give you better mouthfeel and more body. Your attenuation will be slightly lower.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Are you sure your thermometer is reading true? Could be that you are actually mashing at a lower temperture than what you want. How much are you sparging? and what is your final wort volume?
How do you BBQ an elephant....first you get your elephant....
I've had the same experience recently. I switched from extract to all grain, and mashed at lower temperatures to get a higher alc content. But some of my beers, especially the lighter ones just don't have any pizazz! Watery. I've decided to up my mash temp a few degrees to give me more body. That's what I really like in beer.
david brings up a good point about the edges cooling faster than the center. What kind of MT do you use (cooler/keg/bucket)? Do you stir and let rest for a few min before taking the temp reading? A few degrees has a big effect on the final beer.
Although it is no substitute for improper mashing, you could always adjust body by adding specialty grains, etc. Using some crystal or some malto-dextrin will increase mouthfeel and body. Additionally, don't rely upon the tasting of your uncarbonated beer at bottling time. Carbonation will add a certain degree of mouthfeel and perception of body - so, a beer that is watery at bottling time may be perfect when you drink it.

That looks like silver to me. Am I missing something?
How is that possible? Why is he not gold or plat level?
Dodging games will drop your ELO but not affect your W/L.
so he was 800 elo before the reset then had a losing spree after the reset now hes finall playing champs hes good at and winning case closed
Let me break this down for you: He was low last season and thus had low seating this season. He lost most of if not all of his placement matches. (First matches worth significantly more elo than others) He now is constantly duo-queing with someone lower elo than himself. Thus, even though he's spamming wins like a boss at this point, he is still relatively low and now only gets like +5 or +8 per win due to his "down-queing." (when you duo with someone lower than you, you lose more on loss, and gain less on win) Simple really, kid needed to play harder and have a good duo for his placement matches. And he needs to either solo que or play with someone higher elo than him.

The bright side (if there is a bright side) is that Warren will be able to speak more freely if she's not the head of the agency, and we could use some adults in the conversation right now.

EUGENE, Ore. - The bees are busy among the colorful flowers at Alton Baker Park and so is Richard Golden.
"You can see we're going to get a bumper crop," Golden said while examining his tomato plants.
Golden has already grown a few impressive indigo bell peppers and he's waiting to see red among his beefsteak tomatoes.
"We expect to be canning and jarring and filling up cabinets. There are that many tomatoes there," Golden said.
His cucumbers will soon start producing, but Golden says he stays cool as a cucumber by staying out his plot during the heat of the afternoon.
"Watering late and night so the water stays in the ground longer. And the longer they're hydrated, the better they'll do," Golden said.
This is something I should've done a long time ago, but I'm going to install a soaker hose to help water some of my fast growing plants right down to the roots. This will come in handy during some of the dry spells during July and August.
"I think once plants are established, I believe you really only need to do a good watering once a week or so," gardener Leonard Epstein said.
Epstein is well covered with a hat and sunscreen to avoid any burns. But he says the key to a bushel of sugarsnap peas comes from laying the groundwork.
"A lot of it is preparation of the soil, having some good mulch to begin with," Epstein said.
If you're still putting in transplants, they may require more frequent watering until the root systems are established. Vine plants will do fine in the heat, including watermelon, squash and cucumbers. But onion bulbs and cool weather plants can have a tendency to bolt under intense heat.
Here's some piece of mind if you can't bring yourself to check on the garden in 90 degree heat. Most plants shut down when the temp rises above 90. And anything you do in the garden could add more unnecessary stress.

A strange place for someone like Heisig. The silence is so deep, the hills roll so softly, a stream, the Havel, snaking though them. Now in spring, it swells far beyond its banks, flooding meadows, fields and pastures, making it impossible to say where land ends and water begins. The overflowing landscape spills into his studio, lapping at the large windows. Only his canvases remain untouched. "Everybody thinks I'll suddenly become all romantic here in the middle of the countryside", Heisig mutters. But idylls are not my thing. I'm far, far too angry."

Sometimes this voice is raspy, sullen, and shy. She says she won't come out to play today. Other times she struts like Jumpin' Jack Flash. She has a statement to make, a performance at stake. She feels a quickening like before stepping out on stage. Like a wild cat just released from her cage. She lets the words be free from preconceived notion. No approval or applause necessary, no narcissistic need to satisfy.
She knows if it speaks to you, you will hear it resonate within. She doesn't expect you to understand unless you want to. She plays dyslexic scrabble and turns the gram-o-phone up loud. As a girl she laid by the hi-fi-delic stereo and imagined a miniature concert inside the speaker. Inside the velvet undergound her riff played on and on.
No stage fright, she bends over with her denim rock n' roll ass and plugs in the antique white Fender Strat and tells the whole world ...
Hey, Hey, You, You Get Off of My Cloud ...
She kneels and feels the ecstasy of the solid body electric. She tells the truth. The electrical current is wound through the strings. She finds home at the fifth fret. She combines the A minor penatonic scale and plays a melody in time with the beating of her heart. She exhales stretching the fascia over the muscles and bones of her rib cage, the curve of her breast.
The skin she resides in is her own, no reveling in Revlon, no plumped up collagen lips, no masquerade, no wolf in sheep's clothing, no fashion parade, no emperor's new clothes, no debutante ball. This ain't no dress rehearsal. This is it. The time is Now.
There's nothing like it in the world; nothing like the exhilaration, the sonic buzz. In this moment you will answer for nothing, to no one. In this terrain there is no counting of votes or casting of ballots. Here the muse knows the solitary companionship of One. The tribe can wait while the writer wrestles with words. The hush of intimate communication trumps and precedes the mass, the media. It all starts here. Whispering within and walking where love has not yet dared.
Sometimes those who know the darkness are closest to the light, like a moth fluttering near the bulb, like the Phoenix, like Icarus' scorched wings from flying too close to the sun. Like VanGogh fearing to steal its radiance.
The muse knows the Virgin Mother, Mother Nature's fortunate son, Mary Magdalene and Proud Mary. She hears Garland and Holiday. Channels Grace Slick, Patti Smith and Chrissie Hynde. She knows Brando, and Elvis and Hud. She has lived In the Heat Of the Night, On the Waterfront and East of Eden. Far beyond the drama and boredom of Wisteria Lane and Melrose Place.
She hears the harmonica blowin' in the wind and the sound of the drum beat now calling ...

Jeanette: A little bit of Patti lives in all of us that love her. :)
Linda: Yup, before I'm too old. Ian Anderson said "you're never too old to rock n' roll, if you're too young to die." So I guess there's still time.:)
Beautiful. Let's just say it has a certain resonance.
AND you had a Strat. I am envious. Well ... sort of. I'm an acoustic guy, really -- four, six and 12-strings. Favourite riff of all time is the opening to "Night Moves" (if only 'cause I can play it pretty good).
Joan: are you wearing your Italian boots? :)
Boanerges: G-F-C-F-G? still have the Strat btw ...
Dr. S: "I live on an apartment an the ninety-ninth floor of my block": ... Hey, hey, you, you...

More Akin comments on abortion emerge
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill touted a $5.8 million fundraising haul for her re-election campaign Wednesday as Republican challenger Todd Akin sought to raise cash amid new attention to his remarks about abortion.
McCaskill's campaign promoted her quarterly fundraising totals as a record for a Missouri Senate candidate nearing an election. The Democratic incumbent raked in the cash during a period in which Akin lost the financial backing of top national Republicans because of his much-criticized remarks about women having biological means of averting pregnancy in "legitimate rape."
Akin, who has until Oct. 15 to report his quarterly fundraising figures, was in Washington on Wednesday for a series of fundraisers. But his campaign was again beset by remarks he made about abortion — this time, as video of a 2008 speech Akin delivered on the House floor was recirculated online.
In that address, Akin equated abortion providers to terrorists and suggested that it was "common practice" for them to be "giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant." On Wednesday, Akin's critics sought to link the remarks to his "legitimate rape" comment, which he made while explaining his opposition to abortion.
Akin has repeatedly apologized for his rape remark and acknowledged he was wrong. There is no medical proof that women's bodies repel pregnancies in cases of rape.
But there have been reports that physicians purported to perform abortions on women who weren't actually pregnant. In 1979, Chicago physician Arnold Bickham had his state medical license suspended after he acknowledged defrauding the federal government. He had been accused by Illinois officials of preforming abortion procedures on women who weren't really pregnant and before anesthesia had fully taken effect.
In defense of his assertion, Akin's campaign released a statement Tuesday from Abby Johnson, a former director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas who quit in 2009 and now speaks against abortion.
"I can attest that when I served as director of Planned Parenthood in Bryan, Texas, we often scared women into getting services they did not need — including abortion — so we could collect the fees. This included women who were not pregnant and women who were in the process of miscarrying," Johnson said.
But a Planned Parenthood spokeswoman in Missouri said Wednesday that Akin's assertion was absurd and that its clinics never perform abortions on women who aren't pregnant.
"That's just an absolutely ridiculous claim," said Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Michelle Trupiano. It "just goes to show how extreme Todd Akin is, and he's not in touch with what happens in women's lives."
Akin's comments were made on Jan. 22, 2008, as anti-abortion lawmakers spoke on the House floor on the anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that women had a legal right to abortion.
During that speech, Akin described abortion as "un-American" because it runs contrary to the fundamental right to life described in the Declaration of Independence. Akin said he believed Americans would someday view the current era of legalized abortion in the same way they now view the era of legalized slavery — as inherently wrong. He referenced the nation's fight against terrorists, adding: "We have terrorists in our own culture called abortionists."

PlayStation Official Magazine June 14 - Issue 97
Huge exclusives, brand new reveals, gigantic features, no-holds-barred reviews and the biggest debates on PlayStation topics!
In PlayStation Official Magazine June 14 Issue 97:
The new issue of Official PlayStation Magazine contains something for everyone this month: huge exclusives, brand new reveals, gigantic features, no-holds-barred reviews and the biggest debates about the hottest PlayStation topics.
We've travelled around the world this issue to bring you hands-on impressions of Bungie's Halo-beater Destiny, Codemasters' latest racing simulation GRID Autosport and Ubisoft's incoming hack-'em-up Watch Dogs. We've also peeled back the covers on Sony's brand new online zombie survival epic H1Z1, and taken brand new peeks at The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Dragon Age: Inquisition – and spoken with the dev teams about the challenges involved with topping Skyrim.
On the subject of The Elder Scrolls, we've dropped in on The Elder Scrolls Online and have some worries about the direction it's taking on PS4. There are no such worries about Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, however, which we review this month along with Trials Fusion, Child Of Light, 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, Fez, Octodad: Dadliest Catch and many more.
Our big features this issue focus on cover game The Order: 1886 (for which we've got more access to Ready At Dawn's shooter than anyone else on the planet) and PlayStation's biggest and weirdest 'WTF' moments.
Elsewhere in the issue we feature The Last Of Us: Remastered, Assassin's Creed Unity, Sportsfriends and ex-Uncharted director Amy Hennig's new Star Wars game.
And as a special bonus, we wrap things up with a massive free gift for everyone: the ultimate PlayStation Pub Quiz book. Are you the biggest PlayStation fan that's ever lived? Now you can prove it with over 760 questions designed to test your knowledge to the extremes of PlayStation history.

Re:Too much good content is deleted at Wikipedia. (239 comments)
You are right, the whole "notability" standard at Wikipedia has been f'd up for years. Someone notable today, may be much less notable than someone from 100 years ago, but the person from a century ago might not be as notable to people today. Instead of trying to build a repository of accurate knowledge and information, Wikipedia is more concerned about building up fiefdoms of power for the editors and managers, which is too bad.

Anyone who wants to have even more centralized data storage of personal, private information just doesn't care about data security.
Re:And how does it get these domains? (62 comments)
They just need to register ONE of them to reestablish contact. They might even be able to use "domain tasting" to register a bunch and then cancel within 5 days.
1960s? (140 comments)
"astronauts used in trips to the moon in the 1960s."
Just one point about the summary, not just the 1960s, there were more trips to the moon using Apollo in the 1970s than in the 1960s:
1960s Apollo moon trips: 8, 10, 11, 12 (2 landings 11, 12, and 2 circumnavigations)
1970s: 13, 14, 15, 16,17 (4 landings, not Apollo 13 obviously)
(There were other Apollo missions that were not moon trips, 7, 9 for example that were in earth orbit, Apollo-Soyuz etc).
Re:Guilty (207 comments)
It has been going on a lot longer than Nixon. Look at FDR and the court-packing scandal for example. Look at the Commerce Clause cases which eliminated the concept of "enumerated powers."
Re:Does it really cost $100k? (461 comments)
You are right, kind of like Critter 592 (ValuJet). Went into the Everglades in Florida like a lawn dart.
Re:Gun + BC client = $1,000,000,000 (390 comments)
Ask the USA too. "Long term stability" and "dollar" do not go together for many decades now.

He was storing them at Gox?
Re:Sounds like he visited torproject.org recently. (547 comments)
OR they did use it in this case, realized it wasn't a "real" threat and so did not pass along the information to the local police.
Re:can I just say (475 comments)
We've been hearing this on Slashdot for 3.5 years now and during the time bitcoin has gone from well below dollar parity, to here.
Re:Sell now. (371 comments)
This sounds like a copy and paste from 2011 on Slashdot.org. It is a good thing that people listened and didn't buy in at $1 or $3 or $0.10.
Re:Of course not (365 comments)
Don't forget to add things like LISP, snobol, prolog, Pascal, Modula-2, SML, APL etc.
Re:"Free market" scare quotes (345 comments)
And if he is really concerned about the "free market" not doing enough, there is always the option of starting a competing service that is more "free market" and responsive. Yes, that costs something, but that is the nature of the "free market" - it isn't free to everyone, someone's time costs something, always.
Re:Honor him by fixing corrupt transplant matching (24 comments)
Perhaps prioritizing based on when a person registered themselves to be a DONOR would be helpful too. This would encourage people to be donors and eliminate some of the issues for matches because there would be many more people who were donating.
E.g. Someone registered to be a donor when they were 18 and needed something at 60, would be placed ahead of someone who registered at 59.5 (or not at all) and needed one at 60. This would encourage many, many people to donate, alleviating the shortage and finding many more matches. It would likely result in the time of registration rarely or never coming in to play.
And then... (48 comments)
And then you'd get part way done and the government would want it an ounce lighter, 1.23 inches shorter, and
You see, this was not COTS, but custom.

I'm posting this early because my DD and her family are coming for the weekend. I plan to spend all my time holding the baby. She is 2 months old and we haven't seen her since Christmas week. Jen sends pictures almost every day but that's not same! We had another big snowstorm this week, about 6 inches, and now we are in the middle of a thunderstorm. My sun porch is going to flood when all this snow melts. Spring can not get here soon enough for me! Are you quilting or sewing this weekend? Linda OH |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, yes, yes. My husband is out of town for two weeks, I have no commitments and we're supposed to get up to 12" of snow over the next 24 hours. Sounds like a quilting weekend for me. I sewed all the January lotto blocks together last night and washed the border fabric that I bought this week. I'm really starting to love this quilt. I hope to get the top finished this weekend. I still need to find backing fabric. I bought some WOW fabric to make the PP hearts and the March lotto blocks. Can you believe I've never used any before? I need to get moving on the monkey appliques. I just haven't felt in the "applique mood" lately. Lots of projects and a whole weekend to quilt. Yay!! |
Lois, I made the monkey quilt and felt the same way about the applique. It was not hard and went together quickly. I wondered why I waited so long to start it! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Peekaboo Monkeys
OMG Linda, that new baby is 2 months old already?!?!?! I can't believe it! I'm planning to go to a quilt show on Sat. I need some recharging. I was so looking forward to starting a new project after Celtic Solstice, but working on it last Sunday I just felt blah about it. So, hopefully Sunday I'll be ready to work on it some more! Donna |
Thanks for the encouragement, Linda. I needed that. Your quilt turned out very cute. Have fun with your baby granddaughter. I love holding them when they are so little too. They smell so wonderful - usually. |

I've done quite a bit of sewing today....at least for me. I've discovered when DH is out of the house, I sew more. If he's sitting in the living room, I'm sitting with him....which, isn't all bad because we enjoy each other's company, but I don't sew much. Today I have the blocks almost all sewn together for a top (haven't been able to think of the name of it) and have quite a bit of Film at 3 put together. I found some really long white strips laying on my sewing table and can't remember what I needed them for so am afraid to use them......sigh. Yes, I plan to sew this week-end. :-) SharonG/FL |

Friday I have an eye exam and know they are gonna' dilate my eyes, so pretty sure I won't sew Friday unless it is very late that night. Hoping Saturday and Sunday to work on my SBS corner blocks "Irish Chain", I have 1 completed and have fabric cut for 3 more. Linda I hope you get lots of enjoyment from holding your grandbaby. I agree with Lois, babies smell so good. One of my nephews is 1 and he is so sweet when comes up to you and wants sugars, he is the youngest, all our babies are growing up. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend. Best to you, |
i'm hoping to give it a try. the cast came off last week and i have to wear a brace for another week, then i'm home free. i cut out a bunch of squares to make half sq triangles right before i broke my arm, so i think i will be able to work on those for dd depresion quilt even with the brace. however, i would give up quilting to hold a grandbaby anyday! |

I plan to get the borders on my Celtic Solstice and my Irish Chain this weekend. Hopefully I can find the time to load a quilt on the frame. I also want to make sure I have plenty of handwork prepped as my husband is having surgery on March 5 and I will be cooped up at the hospital for a few days. Jackie |

I'm with Linda... I get to see my new (1 month old) grandson tomorrow. I'll have to fight to hold him since none of my kids nor Great Grandma have seen him yet and will want their turns too! I have two small projects in the works. One needs four corner blocks and the rest of the border added, and the other is in the beginning cutting stages. I'd like to work on both of these, but I've been 'blah' lately. Staying up late watching the Olympics hasn't helped, and stress over medical stuff adds to it. DH is gone all day Sunday so I'll be home with the kids, so maybe then I can be productive. Have a good weekend, everyone! |

Working on my SBS blocks last week and this weekend. I am making 4 pink/purple Irish Chain 6" blocks for my corner blocks. I have finished the first 2 blocks and will be working on the next matching 2 this weekend. Best to you, |

Have fun you Grammies that get to hold grandbabies today. Babies are so snuggly and calming to this gramma. The Geezer and grandson, Bubb, have had to make an emergency trip this morning to northern GA to take, not only tires, but wheels, to the son-in-law, DD and grandgirl who went to the cabin for the week-end. As they traveled through Atlanta, a crate or pallet flew off a truck, hit another car and then got them last night. They limped on the donut tire for a couple hours til they reached their cabin. We're thankful they weren't hurt and there wasn't an accident. But.....wooohoooo, I'm alone all day today and until they get back tomorrow so don't have to think about what to cook and can sew, sew, sew. Yaaaaahoooooo! SharonG/FL |
My weekend ended up starting on Friday, inadvertently. Thursday afternoon, evening and night, we had a fairly substantial heavy, wet snowfall, about 10-12", along with driving 30 mpr winds. Then the temp started to fall and it was a mess. We live in an area where we have old overhead power lines and tons of mature trees, so we always have power outages - so many, in fact, that we just installed a new natural gas powered generator that automatically starts up when the electricity goes off. Thursday evening the power went off about 8:00 or so, and our new generator kicked in. I noticed that it sounded like it was running a little unevenly, but at least I had light, heat and flushing toilets. I was quilting away when I heard beeping and a woman's voice. "Warning. Carbon Monoxide." I went down the basement and I could smell exhaust, probably from the generator (which is outside). I immediately called the gas company and my husband who is in Colorado. I opened doors and windows and the snow was being driven into the house. Mike called a friend of ours who began digging out of his driveway so he could come and help me. I bundled up and went to sit and wait out in our solarium which is unheated and separated by a door from the rest of our house. The generator meantime had stopped working (good thing, because I didn't know how to shut it off.) The gas company and our friend Ron got there in about an hour and confirmed that it was the generator and made sure it wouldn't go back on, and I spent a dark, chilly, flushless, and mostly sleepless night. I was mostly bummed that my quilting weekend was turning into a bust. I couldn't get to work because of the 18" snowdrifts in the driveway. But miracle of miracles, the power was restored by 8:30 Friday morning, and the cause of the malfunctioning generator was found to be snow and ice driven into the filter, which caused excessive CO to be present in the exhaust. We do have to do find the leaks into the house and spray insulating foam into them though. I'm certainly glad I was awake when the power went off. I don't know if I would have heard the downstairs CO alarm if I was asleep. The one outside my bedroom needed new batteries, and we hadn't installed them. Lesson learned. Oh, and you're supposed to replace CO detectors every five years so the gas company tech told me. I'm feeling pretty damn lucky, and I've been quilting up a storm. I've gotten the top to Peekaboo Monkeys almost done, I made the PP lotto block and the weekend's just beginning. Yahoo! |
You are so lucky, please, please install new batteries now. |
Oh so lucky!! Our regular smoke alarms get new batteries when we change from EST to DST and back again. But I guess everyone does that. Our furnace died about three weeks ago but we were lucky to get it back on in about 13 hours. As for quilting, I had a little talk with myself this morning and told myself that I could NOT start a new project until I had finished up at least one, better yet, two of the UFO's in the pile. So I checked them all (8) and found one already quilted, just needed binding. So that is done. i have pulled out binding fabrics for the rest and i think maybe 2 will need a border. Fabric for those pulled too. Tomorrow will be another quilty day. Doesn't it feel good when you finish one up??? Theresa |

Lois, So very glad you're ok. I hate being flushless! Having the generator come on automatically is a cool thing, though. SharonG/FL |

Hi there! Welcome back to The Work Week. I know, yes, it's a short week which means you'll be getting a lot of posts like this: "Ueereeiiiiiiiiii AHGGGhhHHHHH Ppffppttttttt" They're open to interpretation and should be noted at such.
Today, though, today I will spare you the screeching that is mah brain yelling, "Undefined Object In Gems." (If you can help me with that, bygod, let me buy you a beer.)
Today I will spare you the 115 photos we took at the In Law's house for Baby O's first birthday party.
Today I will spare you the long drawn out discussion about family and fulfillment and blahblah mushass blahblahblah.
Today, I will highlight only this:
#Life#Getting to know me#Depth and Faith We have a bedtime routine like most everyone we know. There is some wrestling involved (playfully with LB and out of necessity with the baby). There is tooth brushing, a story or two and a bedtime kiss. Some nights Daddy or I will sit in the small chair next to LB's bed for five minutes. This helps with the transition for our anxious child and she has come to expect and rely on this time. It's five minutes. Five out of our entire day. Some days I feel compelled to run out of their room and start working. Most days I feel the messy kitchen getting grimier and hear the TV blaring. There is chaos and disorder. It bugs me. I like lists. I like things picked up. I like my alone time. Tonight, as I lay my daughter in bed, I let her know I wasn't going to...

It's a mixed blessing. I love my job. I love coding. I love being a nerd. I love being a mom (most days) and I love my kids. What a curse to have so many wonderful things in my life. I mean, really, who can complain when the sun is out, the house is clean, the clients are poring in and the work is wonderful? Lemme try. My daughter has anxiety. I don't know what there is to be anxious about at three. My toys! My bed! MY HAIR. It's everything: the panties that must be pink, the bed that has to be perfect, the barrette that has to be blue with a bow and on the left side. She's high stress. She worries when I'm upstairs and she's not. She freaks her shit out when I go lay her brother down in his crib because MommyICan'tSeeYou!! God...

This one is for my Brother-In-Law who was deployed on May 3rd. This is the only website he can get to for a piece of home. Apparently group websites like flickr, myspace, facebook and twitter are off limits but blogs about farting and being driven crazy by two small children are a-ok. Who knew? A lot of people talk about supporting our troops but wish we'd spend less on our military. A lot of people say they love our country but vow to vote in someone who will take the last bits of what makes us unique away. A lot of people want to thank the people who fight to keep us the United States Of America but don't know how. Here's your chance. This is a Russian roulette of blog posts. Take your pick! 1.

The speedy destruction of the wicked, and the preservation of the godly.
- This psalm is almost the same as the last five verses of Ps 40. While here we behold Jesus Christ set forth in poverty and distress, we also see him denouncing just and fearful punishment on his Jewish, heathen, and antichristian enemies; and pleading for the joy and happiness of his friends, to his Father's honour. Let us apply these things to our own troubled circumstances, and in a believing manner bring them, and the sinful causes thereof, to our remembrance. Urgent trials should always awake fervent prayers.
Psalms 70:1-5 . with a very few variations, as "turn back" ( Psalms 70:3 ) for "desolate," and "make haste unto me" ( Psalms 70:5 ) for "thinketh upon me." It forms a suitable appendix to the preceding, and is called "a Psalm to bring to remembrance," as the thirty-eighth

This Forum will take on the difficult challenge of coming to terms with the practice of genocide in the 20th and 21st centuries. In anticipation of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, and recognizing its components as a prototype for the Holocaust, we will examine both the particularities and universalities of genocide. Because genocide is encompassing of societies and nationalities, the problem of memory, reconciliation and recovery will be a significant focus of the Forum.

2004 Dodge Durango SLT
ProsThis SUV is in great condition. The interior is like new and except for a few minor scratches/dings the exterior is very good. Inside its very roomy with all the options anyone could want and the V-8 Hemi is hugely powerful and surprisingly quiet on long trips. The DVD player is great for the kids and I love being able to hook up my iphone to the seriour stereo. ConsLike all big SUVs, the gas milage is an issue (15 - 17 mpg average) but that's expected in this type of vehicle.
Very Clean, Well Kept Large Suv With All The Amenities — Loved the look and feel of this SUV. Lots of power but nice comfort features within. My wife feels very safe being "above the traffice" as she says and never has to worry about getting on the highway. Plenty of room for the kids in back and the DVD player keeps them occupied. Heavy duty towing package pulled a large trailer or 24 ft boat and trailer, no problem. Also, when doing work around the house the folding seats gave huge cargo room for trips to Home Depot. Primary Use: Family transportation

2004 Dodge Durango Limited 4WD
ProsGreat vehicle I truly enjoy driving this in all weather conditions, very comfortable ride, Can tow up to 7500lbs, so can be used to pull a camper, Consrear tailgate rusts out.
Very Good All Around Vehicle — Wish that they would of stayed with this style, I would of considered a new one if it was the same as this one. Vehicle could handle anything I would pull and handled excellent in the snow. When my other 4x4 couldn't get through the snow this one would with ease. Dodge screwed up when they changed this one. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

2004 Dodge Durango SLT 4WD
ProsGreat car with plenty of room for a large family. Handle very well on rain and snow. Perfect to travel safely with your family ConsGas consumption
Great Car Overall — Excellent for the price I have a trailer that I use to haul construction materials when doing small project on the house. I used this to haul everything that I needed for the job. You can pack the trailer and drive the car and not even feel that you are towing something. This car is a lot of fun Primary Use: Family transportation |
2004 Dodge Durango Limited 4WD
ProsSpacious and comfortable interior, and a very agressive appearance. ConsNot strong enough engine, lack of gizmos, and weak build quality.
Over-rated, But Not Dissapointing... — Its a very good looking car, very aggresive and vulgar. Best looking in silver,black and white. Sadly though your wife wont find it very stylish and so it ownt fit her.It is a very very good off-roader. However, the 335HP 5.7 Hemi isn't exactly economical or friendly to the enviroment, it only does 12MPG or less, and it doesn't deliver enough power or torque to the Durango because it weighs a 1000 tons! It simply weighs too much fir its engine, but still the engine can get you anywhere you want but not so quickly. Its not as sporty as Dodge say, and thats why yhey should have built an SRT version to give it a sporty attitude and performance. Its was faster than most of its competitors in its day. The leather interior is very spacious and comfortable, it can easily take 9 people in comfort. Yes, I did say 9! But the frint console is a bit dull, and lacks the options and luxuries that you would find in a Mercedes or a Lexus, but its the sportiest, in an Aluminium trim. Its a very cheap car, but the money you saved on buying it would be spent on gas or fuel for it. Its DVD that is set in the back is an advantage as it entertans your kids in long-distance cruises, which the Durango is perfect at, because the engine almost becomes silent, and thet tires too. It is better than its Japanese rivals that are weaker, smaller and more expensive. Its build quality is very weak, it starts squeaking and screeching after only 2 years of regular usage. One last problem with the Durango, is that it doesnt look as civilized or as prestigous as a Range Rover or a Lexus, and so it isn't the car to buy if you work in an office or in any high-class firm! |

AP News
Miss. coastal shelters opening to those staying
GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) — Officials in Mississippi's most populated coastal county started transporting people with special needs to shelters Tuesday as the Gulf Coast prepares for Tropical Storm Isaac.
Harrison County Emergency Operations Director Rupert Lacy said early Tuesday that nearly 600 people had signed up for the county's transportation list, though some have made other arrangements. The people who sign up don't have cars or can't drive.
Lacy said four shelters were to open in Harrison County at 8 a.m., including one for pets.
Coastal residents Charlotte Timmons and Brenda Batey took a sunrise walk on the beach before heading home when it began to rain. The retired women from Long Beach said they have prepared their homes and won't take any risks, but they think Mississippi will be spared the devastation of some past storms.
Both women lost their homes to Hurricane Katrina, which leveled much of south Mississippi seven years ago Wednesday. If it looks like the storm will strengthen or take a more direct aim at Mississippi, they will move out of harms way.
Since Katrina, people have a more cautious attitude toward tropical weather, perhaps so cautious that there's a danger of complacency setting in after near misses, Timmons said.
"It's like crying wolf," said Timmons, a 63-year-old retired media manager. "If they make such a big deal and start moving people out (too soon) and then it fizzles, people might not leave the next time," Timmons said.
But she also said she understands the need to sound alarms because of those people who refuse to evacuate even in the worst of situations.
As Isaac pushed closer to shore, bands of rain began to pelt the Mississippi coast. Mandatory evacuations had been ordered in low lying areas in Jackson and Hancock counties. Many beachfront businesses were closed. Harbors were mostly empty, other than disabled boats that couldn't be moved. In Pass Christian, a sail boat had washed aground near the beach and bobbled in the surf. Many houses were boarded up.
At least two casinos had closed in Harrison County and two others were shut down in Hancock County.
Water was creeping into a parking lot that faces Biloxi Bay and some was washing into the parking garage of the Palace Casino in Biloxi.
Timmons and Batey said they have friends who just can't understand why they moved back to the coast after Katrina. But they can't imagine not taking early morning walks on the beach.
"People say, 'Why do you still live there?' You can't explain it," said Batey, a 60-year-old retired language teacher.
Lacy, the emergency agency director, said Isaac's projected path had been pushed to the west, but that doesn't mean Mississippi is in the clear. It may not be a Katrina, but there will be strong winds, coastal flooding and rivers could spill out of their banks.
"It's that hurry up and wait. I hate to say it that way but it is one of those that is a big concern for us," Rupert said.

(pull up a picture and help me out again) Now put a 12' RIB on the foredeck. The 20hp, 4stroke, outboard can go on the stern rail. The gasoline jerry jugs should be kept close by too. Are the bicycles on the stern rail also or are they in bags in the forepeak. This cruising boat will need extra water. Are the jerry jugs properly tied down along the deck or are you using a water maker? Don't forget the extra diesel to run the charging system to make that water. You will be arriving at an anchorage. Don't forget the stern anchor, and you'd better be prepared with a third anchor because s### happens. All the other stuff, the other 2000#s can be put away - somewhere. All in all you should just about be ready. Too bad all of that stuff is all above the waterline. Like anti-ballast. If you think you are ready, then go. It's too bad though that you have had to add 60 seconds per mile to your trip. What's the PHRF again?
PCP, I know this was all very childish but please be honest with me. Is the Bavaria Match 42 that is in the ARC+, however it may be configured, really as fast as the empty, crewed, Bavaria that is frequently raced?
Another exercise would be to visualize the very same kind of outfitting but on the smaller , modern, boats. If you do, you will visualize a slow boat. And Yes, it will be slower than a Laurin, or Westsail 32.
I don't know if you guys believe in all the crap you have being posting but the truth is that a Bavaria Mach 42 is much faster than a Malo 43, so much faster that any comparison in what regard speed is ridiculous even on a cruising configuration. The difference in rating (PHRF) would be like 50 points or so.

RAWLINS, Wyo. — Charles "Doug" Douglas Dowlin, 67, passed away suddenly but peacefully in his home on June 24, 2011.
He was born in Helena, on August 21, 1943, to Floyd and Annabelle (MacKerlich) Dowlin.
Doug was a loving son, father, grandfather, brother and caring friend. He was a longtime Rawlins businessman owning and operating Dowlins' Express and Hyland Enterprises trucking companies for 35 years. These ventures allowed him to positively impact many individuals as well as the community as a whole. He never passed up a mentoring opportunity and was an amazing role model of his theories. He practiced what he preached. His interests included farming, flying, reading, motor sports especially snowmobiling, and seeking adventure in the great Wyoming outdoors with his family and friends. He also enjoyed his memberships in the Rawlins Elks Club and the Rawlins Flying Club.
He spent most of his youth in Butte, until moving with his family to Whitehall, where he graduated from high school in 1961. Upon graduation he attended college at Montana School of Mines for one year. He then set out to seek other opportunities.
