No financial crisis ?
Hi ,
I'm looking around for an used sailboat and extremely surprised about the stable prices fact on the situation that you get houses in Fl for any price! And all the house prices dropped down immensely . Sure that you will find good deals on used sailboat but not so indicating as houses! As well good deals you found also before the crisis. Could somebody tell me why is this ? Thanks :cool: |
Re: No financial crisis ?
Because houses were an asset bubble that inflated and then burst. Sailboats are expensive, but never entered bubble territory. Stop looking for an absolute steal of a boat and look for a clean clean clean boat that is in your price range. You'll come out ahead in most cases when you factor in the time wasted.
If you're scraping the bottom of the barrel price wise, I strongly suggest downsizing the boat you put yourself into or chartering. I can point you to at least a half dozen blogs where someone bought a project boat only to let go of the dream after spending thousands of dollars and unbelievable amount of labor time getting their project up and going. |
Re: No financial crisis ?
Good answer, Owl! After studying up on slip and yard fees here I've decided to wuh.....wuh.....hang on, I'll get it out.....wait.
As painful as it is, my heart tells me to keep saving, keep looking & keep quiet....although I've been whining about my decision since I made it. On a positive note, now my wife doesn't know what to do....and I quote, "I might as well just let you by a boat so you shut the %@#* up!" Aaaahhhh.....comfy couch ;) |

No financial crisis ?
Thanks for the reply which makes sense.
Re: No financial crisis ?
Sounds like you might want to look at trailer/sailers.
Though some can be in pretty rough shape, once in a while there's a pearl out there. I waited and looked for about 2 years before buying my boat. Not a trailerable boat at least not to put in and haul out. It is nice and "needed" nothing, but of course I love her and will be adding, refitting, polishing and fixing things from here on out. Had a trailer built for it, it cost me just a little over storage fees for two years... The boat is most of the time the cheaper part of sailing. Docks, slips, mooring, storage, putting in and out can add up to quite a bundle every year....not to mention all the little stuff that you have to replace, maintain. The incessant wish list of gadgets and gear... Some good little sail boat that live on trailers can be quite a bargain when you add everything up. |
Re: No financial crisis ?
i've been down this road before though, so i'm not worried about never getting there. some things take time though. |
Re: No financial crisis ?
If you've never before personally owned a vessel or motor-home, starting out with charters is the better plan. You gradually widen the adventure, chartering locally for a Summer (or the best season locally), then go further and further afield.
Wives like vacations where they can get away from their 'second job', so a crewed charter for the first big two-week outing may please. Also it builds confidence that Jaws won't leap from the mysterious briny deep to seize the happy splasher. Having your own hole-in-the-water is best a destination arrived at when you know more about what it is you don't know. Then you can savour your busted knuckles and empty wallet with the proper ironic resignation. |

Contents Notes | Data on the field-to-stream transport of sediment and chemicals from an agricultural watershed were collected in a three-year study to provide information for testing and evaluating mathematical models under development for predicting agricultural non-point source pollution. These models are prepared as tools to evaluate the effectiveness of different farm management practices in controlling losses of nutrients, pesticides, and sediment in field drainage to receiving waters. In the study, data were collected for small corn, soybean, and pasture fields; for two larger mixed-cover watersheds; and at three drainage-stream sites. During the study (1976-1978), annual rainfall (753 mm) and streamflow (124 mm) averaged a little below normal. Sediment losses were also low because of a lack of intense rains, averaging 2.6 t/ha from row-crops and 0.9 t/ha from the watershed as a whole. Soluble chemical losses (NH4-N, NO3-IM, PO<-P, Cl and TDS) in surface runoff were less than that deposited with rainfall. Because IMO3-N, Cl and TDS were concentrated in subsurface drainage, losses from the watershed as a whole due to streamflow (surface plus subsurface drainage) were significantly larger than losses from surface runoff alone. Average annual pesticide losses from the field were least for the shortest-lived herbicide (0.2% of that applied) and greatest for the most persistent (1.6%). No runoff event occurred within a week of application. On the basis of percentage applied, losses or export from the watershed as a whole were about 25% of the losses from the two individual fields studied. With the exception of the strongly adsorbed paraquat, at least 80% of the losses occurred in the water phase as opposed to that adsorbed on sediment. | ||||||||||||||||||

Hi, I created a lacto culture by following the directions in Alferman' Imperial Berliner Weisse (http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f72/alfe...weisse-255777/). I have a nice 1/4 inch pellicle layer right now and it smells like corn and sourdough bread. Is there a timeframe where this culture will be at it's peak? If I wait until Sunday or Monday to brew will this be too long to wait? Do Lacto cultures go bad? This is my first sour beer, so any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!
Sounds like it smells the way it should. I'm not sure when it will be at its peak but it won't go bad any differently than yeast starters. You'll be fine waiting.
Thank you! I ended up using it yesterday and the airlock is bubbling beautifully right now!

The surface temperature of the Greenland ice sheet is among the most important climate variables for assessing how climate change may impact human societies due to its association with sea level rise. However, the causes of multidecadal-to-centennial temperature changes in Greenland temperatures are not well understood, largely owing to short observational records. To examine these, we calculated the Greenland temperature anomalies (GTA[G-NH]) over the past 800 yr by subtracting the standardized northern hemispheric (NH) temperature from the standardized Greenland temperature. This decomposes the Greenland temperature variation into background climate (NH); polar amplification; and regional variability (GTA[G-NH]). The central Greenland polar amplification factor as expressed by the variance ratio Greenland/NH is 2.6 over the past 161 yr, and 3.3–4.2 over the past 800 yr. The GTA[G-NH] explains 31–35% of the variation of Greenland temperature in the multidecadal-to-centennial time scale over the past 800 yr. We found that the GTA[G-NH] has been influenced by solar-induced changes in atmospheric circulation patterns such as those produced by the North Atlantic Oscillation/Arctic Oscillation (NAO/AO). Climate modeling and proxy temperature records indicate that the anomaly is also likely linked to solar-paced changes in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and associated changes in northward oceanic heat transport.

Kojima makes a statement about nuclear warfare with MGS V's Mother BaseMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's Mother Base will serve as more than just a center of operations for Snake; it'll double as a launching pad for Hideo Kojima to make poignant statements about the cycle of war. According to an interview with The Guardian, Kojima said that as The Phantom Pain progresses and Mother Base increases in size, other nations begin noticing it, possibly perceiving it as a threat, and eventually attacking it. He gives the player an emphatic way to deal with this situation. "At this point I give the player the option to think about acquiring a nuclear weapon, in order to deter these attacks, a kind of threat. It illustrates the cycle of nuclear weapons, what inspires people and nations to enter into that system. It's something that you can only really do in video games," Kojima stated. It's unknown if the player will be given the freedom to actually push the big red button, or if it's solely a fear tactic. If it's the latter, it'll most likely be an effective strategy -- and one that aptly comments on the subject of proposed nuclear warfare from decades in the past through the foreseeable future.

8 Top Teen Retail Stocks: Report Card
(Teen retail report card updated with Pacific Sunwear of California and American Eagle Outfitters earnings results.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Teen retailers were in the spotlight this week, as investors looked to second-quarter earnings reports to shed light on the all-important back-to-school season.
The market, however, was disappointed with the sector, as outlooks for the second-half of the year were muted -- with deep discounting across the board and rising sourcing and labor costs expected to weigh on teen retailers' margins for the remainder of the year.
"It is becoming glaringly obvious to us that the short-sighted inventory buying binge and subsequent 'planned' deep discounting of Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) and American Eagle Outfitters (AEO - Get Report), in the face of one of the most economically affected sectors in the economy, has managed to destroy any potential for even the better-run teen players, who maintained inventory and expense discipline, to register strong results," Brean Murray analyst Eric Beder, wrote in a note.

Rana Plaza building collapse, April 2013
On 24 April 2013 an eight-story building housing several garment factories collapsed in Savar, near Bangladesh's capital. The death toll reached over 1,100. The building Rana Plaza housed Phantom Apparels Ltd., New Wave Style Ltd and New Wave Brothers Ltd. garment factories which reportedly supply major brands including Benetton, Dress Barn, KiK, Mango, The Children's Place, Primark and Wal-Mart.
Reports made the connection between alleged substandard construction and the triggering of the deadly collapse. Workers in the building alleged that it had developed severe cracks the day before but they were reassured by a factory manager that it was safe to enter. Trade unions and labour rights organizations such as Clean Clothes Campaign, IndustriALL Global Union and International Labor Rights Forum called for immediate action on health and safety from international brands that used suppliers in the building, and asked them to sign on to a Bangladesh fire and building safety agreement. There were also calls for the Bangladesh Govt. to allow workers' freedom of association. This page tracks developments immediately after the building collapse, and over the period that followed.

The official launch date for "Heavenly Nostrils" is tomorrow! But I have snuck in a day early, because I never do things by the rules. Also "snuck" is so a word.
Go look! And then read it every day!
having trouble subscrbing to the RSS feed – it is coming up as a 404 error on feedburner.
RSS feed isn't working, but I've put it in my daily bookmarks. Been looking forward to this for ages! So excited for you.
Nice start.
Technically because of timezone difference you released it on 23rd here, so no sneaking for you!
The net was down on Monday & Sunday was the youngest's birthday so I finally got on this AM & instantly bookmarked the site.
Looking forward to at least as long a run as O&M, maybe even with the blue string going mainstream.
It's been such a long road, hasn't it? It's too bad it took so long, but I don't think any of us realized how stubborn resistance would be to recognizing new talent through the turn of this last century. I'm so glad it's finally coming together.
Go Dana – stick to your guns. "Snuck" is absolutely a real word. I want to form a defence league to protect the rights of poor, abused "snuck" from all the snobs who just want to shoot people down. We have the advantage of heavy artillery – "snuck" is attested and supported by the Oxford English Dictionary.
EH-veh-buddy muzz geh STOOOOONED!
How many newpapers are carrying the strip right now?
None yet! We're doing the online launch first; I'm hoping to snag the newspaper launch slot they'll have in a few months. The strip being a big hit online would really help.
I remember you from your "Ozy and Millie" days, and I'm enjoying the strip so far. Gonna track it.
So, if Marigold and Princess Celestia were to fight, who would win?
Did you ever get that slot?
It looks like she's set for a newspaper launch later this summer. Fingers crossed!

My 10 year old brother handed me a pack of condoms and said "here, i don't wanna be an uncle yet."
You must be Logged in to post a comment
And why does a 10 yr old have condoms?
Parents obviously put him up to it...
HAHAHAHA! sounds like something id do.
10:59 707 is nor cal there smoking weed and yes the parents are possibly loaded....sorry your from Kansas or some other shit hole
12.22- a state that gave him an education. Try it.
Smart kid
Yes, totally believable that a 10 year old could get a hold on condoms and know what they are, unless the clerk and your parents were so fucking wasted when he asked about them and if he could buy some. What the fuck are you smoking?!
There's no age limit to buy condoms.
Even your 10yr old brother knows you're a whore.
Smart kid...
Precocious little bastard. I don't believe it actually happened.
I agree with 7:39. It was probably the parents that put the kid up to this.
This is bullshit. No way.
Wow lol in my area code too!
So fucking fake.
That's a smart young man.... He's not ready to share
Your brother has brains.... Unlike you
I could see my brother doing this.

He wants to be the DADDY
Sounds like an awesome brother
Totally agree. Parents put him up to it

Hey kids!
Can you draw better than I can? (probably)
Can you make your better-than-mine drawings move? (presumably)
Would you be interested in working with me on an animated series? (hopefully)
So, I've written 15 episodes (a full first season) of a science fiction comedy/drama series set in present day (or very near future) New Mexico, the title of which is "Familiar". I've got a full voice cast who are working like busy beavers recording their lines. I've got music and sound folks. All I need is someone (or a group of someones) to animate the damn thing.
Series rundown:
- 15 episode first season with the possibility for future seasons. Season one episodes are roughly 8 minutes each.
- Large cast of very distinct characters, all of whom are human or indistinguishable from humans. (Actually there's a dog involved as well.)
- The series is very dialogue heavy with few action sequences. Lots of lip-sync.
I have some rough character sketches if you'd like to have a look at them and profiles aplenty. For more details, character sketches/profiles and episode scripts, please send me a PM and I will send you some more concrete contact information.
I'm afraid I will not be able to pay you.

Could you say a 'pitch' or a synopsis or people know the general "feel" this series is going to have?
You can't know what you don't know if you can only use yourself as a reference point.

I've been a car-camper and bushwalker for over thirty years. Mostly I do day hikes as my passion is photography, which means I walk very slowly! I've returned to walking after some years away due to injuries and I'm learning to use Ultralight gear (and my hammock!). I've traveled most of eastern Australia, walking in landscapes as diverse as tropical rainforest, snow fields, beaches and deserts. My fortieth birthday was spent trekking in Nepal which was a truly life changing experience.

The Tilley Hat. It's spoken of with an almost hushed reverence it seems: the Tilley hat (hereafter called the Tilley, or the hat) appears to have something of a cult following among hat wearers. In fact, I became aware of the brand some years ago when I first returned to walking and camping. It was loud and clear: Tilley was the hat to own. Funny thing was, I never did get around to buying one as I was a bit skeptical about how well a hat bought online would fit. When I was offered the opportunity to test a Tilley hat for BackpackGearTest.org, I was over the moon. At last I'd get to experience the joys of owning my own Tilley.
Selecting the size for my hat was made very easy thanks to clear instructions on the website, and I'm pleased to say despite my anxiety about ordering online, my hat fits perfectly! It arrived in a large box, which really surprised me: The hat sat in the box in all its glory - no squashed and wrinkled apparition, here was a Tilley hat ready to wear right out of the box, so to speak. Attached to the hat were a few cards and labels, one stating the hat was "proudly made in Canada, where we can keep a watchful eye". Another explains that although the hat is rated at UPF 50+ in terms of blocking harmful UV rays, it's still important to wear sunscreen and sunglasses. Inside the hat was an instruction booklet and eight "Brag Tags" which request the person being presented with the tag to buy me a beer because I'm wearing a Tilley hat. It will be interesting to see if that happens during my test phase. Tilley are happy to send me more, free of charge, once I've given the standard eight tags away.
Caption: 2 Some of the tags and information which came with my hat.
There were no loose threads and every seam looked well finished.
This Tilley hat is in a multi-camouflage print, which gives it a military look. This is compounded by the ability to snap the brim up on one, or both, sides. With one side snapped up, it looks like an Australian Army hat, so it looks right at home here. The hat looks quite tall, but that's because Tilleys are designed to be worn low on the head and should be touching the eyebrows if worn correctly. I'm not used to wearing a hat so low, but it immediately felt comfortable to do so.
There are two large brass grommets on each side of the hat and these are for ventilation. There is also a brass press-stud on each side of the hat which allows the brim to be snapped up. I know the reason the military snap the brim up on one side is to allow carrying of a rifle without it banging the hat brim all the time, but I have no idea why someone would want to snap up both sides, other than as a style statement.
Caption: Large ventilation grommets, press-stud and wind cord grommets
The brim is listed as 2 3/4 inches (7 centimetres) at the front and back, and 2 3/8 inches (6 centimetres) at the sides, although mine is a little larger, which is still not a large brim. However, because the hat is worn so low, it feels like a much larger brim. The brim is stitched with concentric circles radiating out from the centre like ripples on a pool. I'm guessing this is to give some strength to the brim and to stop it being very floppy. I'll be interested to see how this works with use. Commonly, I stuff a hat in my pack when not being used, but the instructions recommend filling the hat with socks or other soft items, to help it keep it's shape and stop it wrinkling. Perhaps the fashion-conscious backpacker wouldn't be seen with a wrinkled hat, but I'm less concerned about that!
Caption: Detail of the rings sewn around the brim
Inside the hat is a sewn-in patch with information about the hat and washing instructions in both English and French. Another small patch provides a place to write my name and contact details.
Up in the crown of the hat is the 'Secret Pocket" which is held closed by a hook-and-loop tab. This pocket could be used to hold some emergency cash, cards or anything small. Opening the pocket reveals the closed-call foam located in the crown of the hat, and allows the whole crown to be used for storage.
Threaded through two smaller grommets on each side is the wind cord. The way this is configured is to provide two loops that hang down from the hat, rather than a single chin strap. The idea is that this can be used with one strap under the chin and the other behind the head 'Mountie' style. The recommendation is to use both straps if it's windy, or just the rear strap in gentle breezes.
The hat came with a folded booklet which is filled with humour. That was perhaps the first thing I noticed on the Tilley website - the humour. It's lovely to see a company that doesn't take themselves or their products too seriously. All the information is in the instruction booklet, but it's presented in such a readable way it made me actually want to read the booklet from beginning to end, rather than feel I was enduring the instructions out of duty. This instruction book is simply fun!
The first page gives a little history of the Tilley's development. The second page explains how to tell which is the front of the hat (both sides look similar), how to use the wind cord, how to retie the wind cord knot if needed, and a disclaimer about how the hat floats in most conditions, but can still be swamped and sink. The third page contains detailed washing and drying instructions, how to stretch the hat if it's a bit small, and information on UV protection. The last page has some usage ideas, information on both the insurance and guarantee and a little about how the company started. This page also has contact information for the US, UK, and 'World headquarters' in Canada.
Apparently, my hat is insured against loss in the first two years with a no questions asked discount of 50% off the current price of a replacement hat. Not many companies are that generous! Obviously, if I'm wearing the hat in a tornado without my chin strap, they won't cover that as it's my fault, but if it's otherwise lost, stolen or destroyed, I'm covered.
There is also a lifetime guarantee (the brochure says, "Yours, mine, or its (the hats) life") against the hat wearing out. Simply pay the shipping costs and Tilley will send a replacement. That's also an amazing offer!
A hat is a hat right? Nope! The Tilley is worn quite differently to most hats: it sits very low on the head. When I first put the hat on it felt a bit strange to have it sitting across my eyebrows, but after a few minutes it began to feel very natural indeed. The fit is also quite loose (Tilley recommends being able to fit two fingers inside the brim) so it's held on by gravity rather than pressure on the head. That feels really nice! Many hats feel like they squeeze my head if they are tight enough to stay on, but Tilley decided it was not the best way and came up with the wind cord to keep the hat on rather than pressure. I love it! I'm also pleased to report that the instructions for selecting hat size on the website were clear and easy to follow. My hat fits exactly as recommended.
Caption: Various views of the Tilley on a test dummy
The press-studs on the side are easy to use to turn the side brims up on either side, or both sides. They require a firm pressure to engage, so won't pop out unexpectedly.
I was a little concerned to find a piece of closed-cell foam in the crown as I get very hot, especially in the head. I wonder whether this will insulate the hat and keep the heat in, or whether the ventilation grommets will be enough to keep my head cool. It's something I will be paying close attention to during this test.
Putting the hat on requires a bit of juggling to get the wind cord in the right place, but I'm sure I'll get more used to that with more experience. The option is to use both wind cord loops, only the back loop, or the front loop. I can also use neither of them by tucking them into the crown. Adjusting the loops is very easy thanks to a knot which appears to be a double fisherman's knot - it simply slides the two ends of the rope closer or further apart without needing to be retied. Once fully adjusted, the wind cord feels very secure on my head, much more so than just a single strap.
I was wondering how such a low-riding hat would work with sunglasses or reading glasses and I'm pleased to say that so far, it manages both very easily.
That concludes my Initial Report on the Tilley LT3C Snap-Up Camouflage Hat. I'd like to thank both Tilley Endurables and BackpackGearTest.org for the opportunity to test this item. Please check back in around two months for my Field Report.
[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] - Hi Kerri,
Let me do this real quick. (I am heading out with the kids for an overnighter in an hour, my Tilley will be along.) Nice job on the IR, edits are below. Have fun testing it.
***Tilley are happy to send me more, free of charge, once I've given the standard eight tags away.
EDIT: Tilley "is" happy to send (or, the Tilley folks are happy to send)
***The brim is listed as 2 3/4 inches (7 centimetres) at the front and back, and 2 3/8 inches (6 centimetres)
Edit/comment: standard form is to use a hyphen on fractionalized inches, (2-3/8) or to turn them into a decimal (2.4)
***the instructions recommend filling the hat with socks or other soft items, to help it keep it's shape
EDIT: to keep "its" shape
***Opening the pocket reveals the closed-call foam located in the crown of the hat,
EDIT: closed-cell

This Friedrich PTACs was designed for simple maintenance with easy access to their internal parts. A durable exterior blends with its reliable interior to provide years of efficient cooling and heating:
Note: If this is a new installation, you need to purchase a grille and wall sleeve separately. There are 2 grille options: the standard Friedrich grille and the heavy-duty aluminum grille.
Friedrich PTACs now offer a universal heater cord—so you can exchange a smaller heater cord if you don't need the 30-amp, 5kW heat output that comes with this model. A 20-amp, 3kW heater cord is available for purchase and is commonly used for hot states that rarely need heat.
Powerful room cooling is backed by trusted Friedrich construction and easy-to-use features with this model.
