Now you can export all your documents, spreadsheets, presentations and PDFs from Google Docs in a ZIP archive.
The most difficult part is to select all your files: you need to go to the "All items" section, scroll down to the bottom of the documents list, click on the checkbox button from the toolbar and then on "select all visible". Google Docs uses "infinite scrolling", but it's not smart enough to select all the documents from a view.
After selecting all your files (or only some of them), right-click and choose "export". A dialog lets you choose the download format for each kind of file: Microsoft Office formats, OpenOffice formats, PDF or some other formats.
Click on "continue" and Google starts to compress your files and create an archive. If you have a lot of documents, Google can send you an email when the files are zipped.

How to put on a successful wine-tasting party
The simple answer is: Invite some friends over, then open several bottles. While this works, a little planning will make your wine party successful.
Here are a few tips you can use during the holiday season or anytime of the year.
Use a theme: If you and your friends are wine aficionados or strive to be, putting on theme-based wine parties is a superb way to learn about different wines in a hurry. Here's how it works: Set a theme such as "Walla Walla Valley Syrah" or "North Willamette Pinot Noir."
Next, find up to a dozen friends who want to join you.
Why a dozen? Because you can get a dozen two-ounce pours out of a bottle of wine, which is a pretty good taste.
Then assign each friend to bring a bottle of wine. They can decide what to bring or you can give them a list from which to choose. When everyone arrives, open the bottles and enjoy.
There are any number of themes, everything from specific areas of Napa Valley to wines of Israel.
Make it blind: We love tasting wines blind because when you do not know who made a wine, that is a great equalizer. You won't be influenced by price, pedigree or how good looking the winemaker is. The idea of doing a blind tasting will challenge you and your friends to look at each wine in a different light.
We recently put on a Pinot Noir challenge, pitting the wines of Oregon vs. California.
We had people there who were quite sure Oregon makes better Pinot Noir, as well as fans of California wines.
We've also put on a blind tasting that included Syrahs from Washington, California, France and Australia. The goal was less about how to choose the best wine but rather to understand the differences between the four regions.
Go dark: Riedel, the world-famous wine glass producer, makes black glasses, and they are beautiful. The purpose is to mask the difference between white and red wines, which doesn't sound hard until you try it.
Use a red that isn't too tannic (Cab Franc, for example) and a white that isn't too aromatic (Semillon, Viognier or Chardonnay). Put them side by side and let someone taste. Most people will guess wrong as often as they get it right. One of our most memorable wine tastings was with black glasses.
Theme the food, too: We conducted a dinner party with friends that was built around Petite Sirah, the bold wine found primarily in California but also is an up-and-comer in Washington and Oregon.
Each couple was assigned to make a dish that would pair well with Petite Sirah. It was a memorable event with delicious food, wonderful wines and great friends.
End the night on a high note: Have a treat for your guests at the end. This could be a special older wine or a rare bottle or even an ice wine. It will help create a great memory of the evening.
Have the right gear: Regardless of the theme of your wine party, make sure you are properly equipped. You'll want to make sure you have at least two glasses for each guest.
You know those little charms that are sold at winery tasting rooms? They actually come in handy at an event like this to make sure everyone keeps their stems straight.
If you're serving white wines, have some ice buckets to keep them at the proper temperature. And include a few dump buckets so nobody feels compelled to drink everything in their glass.
Don't forget to have plenty of water and coffee all evening long.

You may have seen rock legend Patrick Simmons and his wife Cris riding their Harley-Davidsons at a motorcycle rally over the past few years. He's been spotted in Sturgis, and Daytona. Simmons is an original member of the legendary band The Doobie Brothers.
While the group has undergone personnel changes over the years and hasn't released any new music their fans haven't forgotten them. Last month the group released World Gone Crazy, their first new album in over ten years. Produced by Ted Templeman, their producer throughout the 1970's, the new album combines vintage Doobie Brothers harmonies with the latest recording technology, keeping the sound both classic and fresh. "It's the best thing we've done musically in forever," says founding vocalist Tom Johnston in a recent interview with Billboard.
The album features standout tracks like single "Nobody," a remake of a song from their 1971 debut album (watch the video), ballad "Far From Home," "Don't Say Goodbye" with guest vocals from former member Michael McDonald, and "I Know We Won," a duet with legendary musician Willie Nelson. A special deluxe edition of the CD includes a 30 minute, career-retrospective DVD, featuring interviews with the band members and footage from the band's nearly 40 year career. Both editions are available now in stores and online, with a special deluxe bundle that includes a tour t-shirt available at DoobieBros.com.

Holiday Gifts for People You Hate
This Christmas, you may be obligated to buy gifts for people you don't like. You could give a generic box of candy, but why not embrace your inner Grinch and turn the season into an opportunity? The secret isn't to give a bad gift; it should be nice enough that they'll have to say "thank you," but pointed enough to make them stop and think. So, no matter the social situation that has required you to show up bearing gifts, you'll be able to have the last laugh.

Get an alert when we add new styles of Katin! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
In the late 1950s, Nancy and Walter Katin were in the business of making canvas boat covers, and the $7 billion surf wear industry of today was all but unimaginable. Yet one day a young man came into the Katins shop in Surfside California, complaining of the difficulty in finding a pair of swim shorts durable enough to stand up to the then-quirky pastime of surfboard riding. Walter went to his sewing machine and with of the sturdy boat canvas and whipped up the first pair of Kanvas by Katin surf trunks. The surfer was stoked.
Word of Nancy and Walter's creation quickly spread up and down the coast, and the Katins were suddenly in the surf trunk business. The American surf wear industry was born. By the time the sport of surfing boomed in popularity in the mid-1960s with the Gidget/Beach Boys-era, Katins were firmly entrenched as the grooviest surf trunk around. The Katins kept making their high quality surf trunks, selling them from the surfside store and through a network of surf shop dealers all over the western hemisphere. From the sixties to the seventies, virtually every top surfer wore Katins and all were proud to appear in surf magazine ads for their favorite trunks.
"Quality, durability and good looks has long been the Katin motto and it's our attention to detail which continues to separate Katin from the rest of the surfing pack."

Retroviral vectors that express shRNA for gene knockdown are available with a constitutive U6 promoter with or without a fluorescent protein reporter. For inducible expression of shRNA see our tetracycline inducible shRNA product page.
RNAi-Ready pSIREN-RetroQ Vectors are retroviral expression vectors based on our Q-Series of retroviral vectors, which are designed to constitutively express an shRNA from the human U6 promoter. These systems are ideal for shRNA delivery into hard-to-transfect cells. Package your RetroQ vector using the Retro-X Universal Packaging System to generate the optimum retrovirus for your cell type.
These vectors are available with Living Colors Fluorescent Protein reporters (Cat. Nos. 632455 & 632487).
Retroviral transduction enables you to deliver shRNA into 100% of of your target cells, which means that you can achieve knockdown of gene expression in the entire cell population rather than a just portion of it. Even the most efficient plasmid transfections leave a percentage of cells untransfected and thus with no gene knockdown. shRNA delivered using virus therefore increases the dynamic range of knockdown experiments.
Please see the product's Certificate of Analysis for information about storage conditions, product components, and technical specifications. Please see the Kit Components List to determine kit components. Certificates of Analysis and Kit Components Lists are located under the Documents tab.

Reds, Red Sox to close out brief two-game series
Clubs will cross paths again in August at Great American Ball Park
The Reds and Red Sox have barely seen each other over the years -- with only two regular-season series played against each other in 2005 and '08. After all the advanced preparation, this week's series wraps up quickly with a second game on Wednesday.
"The benefit of the system that everyone has access to is that you don't have to see them personally," Red Sox manager John Farrell said on Tuesday. "It is there to use at your disposal. It'll give us a starting point. This is a two-game look. We'll see them later on. You are going to use and employ the info you have. As we have done before, we adjust in-game if that is required."
Boston will visit Cincinnati for another two-game series from Aug 12-13. The Red Sox last came to Great American Ball Park in 2008. The Reds were swept in three games the only other time they played at Fenway Park in the regular season.
Only a handful of active Reds players -- including Brandon Phillips, Brayan Pena and Ryan Ludwick -- had played a game at the historic ballpark before Tuesday night. Several players took a tour of Fenway early Tuesday afternoon while others took a chance to go inside the Green Monster in left field and take pictures.
"It's a little intimate clubhouse, and the walkway from the clubhouse into the dugout is phenomenal," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "It's an old tunnel dug out from underneath. It's terrific. Certainly, the history and the great games that have been played here, the big Green Monster, the fans, the changes made to the ballpark and also playing the World [Series] champs, it's a great opportunity to come in here and get this experience.
"We're used to going to Wrigley. We all love going to Wrigley Field, but we go there nine or 10 times a year. Now here we are at Fenway, which some people are doing for the first time or maybe the only time in their career, and it's a great experience, a great environment."
Red Sox: Peavy perfect vs. Reds
While the Reds and Red Sox aren't entirely familiar with each other, starter Jake Peavy has a very good track record vs. Cincinnati from his National League years with the Padres.
Peavy, who is 1-1 with a 2.87 ERA this season, is 6-0 with a 2.14 ERA in 10 career starts against the Reds. That also includes two complete games. It's his best ERA among teams he's faced at least three times, and the second best ERA vs. Cincinnati among active hurlers (minimum 50 innings pitched).
This season, Peavy is coming off back-to-back quality starts. His last time out vs. the Rays, he allowed two runs and three hits over 6 1/3 innings but took a 6-5 loss on May 1.
Reds: Hamilton still day to day
Rookie center fielder Billy Hamilton hasn't started a game since he sprained two knuckles on his left hand on Thursday vs. the Brewers while making a diving catch. Hamilton was re-examined on Tuesday at Fenway Park, but the Reds are not putting him on the disabled list.
Hamilton was unable to swing a bat when he tried out his hand on Tuesday afternoon.
"It's all about the pain," general manager Walt Jocketty said. "There's nothing, from what I understand, more he can do to damage it. It's just being able to tolerate the pain."
The Red Sox still have to be prepared for Hamilton, who is likely available to pinch-run.
"This is a guy who comes along only every so often," Farrell said. "You have to think back to a guy like Rickey Henderson who has stolen the number of bases he has. That is a quick reference to a Hall of Fame player, but when you see a guy steal [155] bases in the Minors, it is eye popping. The ability to impact the game with his legs is clear. Even though he's not in the lineup [Tuesday], we know that he will factor into things if a pinch-running situation occurs."
Worth noting
• During his third rehab assignment outing, but first with Triple-A Louisville, Reds closer Aroldis Chapman made 33 pitches in only two-thirds of an inning. Chapman allowed five earned runs and four hits with one walk, one hit batter, one wild pitch and one strikeout.
• Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz played in his 2,000th regular-season game in the big leagues on Tuesday.

Came home from the usual run of errand stops on Monday and my wife had strategically placed the cardboard shipping tube and USPS boxes where I would see them as soon as I walked in the door — after all these years, she knows me pretty well and besides, I think she secretly delights in watching me well-up and squeal like a little girl now and then.
I think it is some kind of subliminal test she conducts (perhaps without even fully realizing she is doing it) to affirm my manhood and fitness as a mate — "yup, he broke down over new fishing gear. He's obviously a hunter/gatherer, interested in providing food for the table and he can be sensitive as well — baby daddy material — and he's all mine!"
Anyway, my new Pflueger 9-ft, 8-wt fly rod and Okuma large arbor reel along with some Cortland 8 wt sinking tip line had finally arrived from Troutlet.com.
I say "finally" but it is in the same way as one would shout "Finally!" after winning a huge, undeserved jack pot or something. In actuality. my new rig arrived in about a week from the time I ordered it online. Quick, efficient, and right to the door — not that I mind rooting around the local fly shop for hours at a time, but a week's wait is a good trade off to jacking up the credit card bill to just under the national debt of Chile.
Needless to say, I spent a very pleasant evening setting up my new rig and getting it ready for it's maiden voyage. After some careful negotiating with the missus it was determined that we would go to El Dorado Park in Long Beach where she could ride her bicycle and I could hit the small lakes that dot the park.
Next morning I christened the tip of my new rod in coffee (since I don't drink anymore) and off we went.
The new rig performed admirably and I was able to reach areas that i could not get a fly to before. The cool part was the way it handled the big bass flies with ease, tossing them out past the algae and weeds. The weather had taken a turn toward hot and windless and and the fish had all seemed to hunker down for the day. No one was catching anything anywhere.
Nevertheless, I was quite pleased with how this new rod, reel and line looked, felt and cast. Since it is bigger and stiffer than the rig I normally use, at nine feet, it took a little practice for me to get used to it. I spent a little under an hour casting at the ducks and stuff until I was comfortable with it.
So far, I think I got a great deal and I can't wait to take it out to the beach, which is what I purchased it for in the first place.
Who says you can't have Christmas in June!

How you die -- and what it costs -- depends largely on where you get care. That's the revelation of a major national database widely regarded as the best hospital-by-hospital look at the cost of dying.
It shows that Bay Area residents are about twice as likely to die in a high-cost, high-tech intensive care unit as people in Minot, N.D., or Portland, Ore. But they are far less likely to get ICU care than residents of Manhattan.
Within the Bay Area, the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care depicts hospitals' widely different approaches to care for dying people: Hayward's St. Rose Hospital ranks twice as high as Stanford in "intensity of care," a measure that considers the amount of time that dying patients spend in the hospital and the aggressiveness of physician services.
Major differences appear even within cities: In San Jose, Regional Medical Center and Good Samaritan Hospital are 15 miles apart -- but Medicare spent an extra $23,000, or a third more, per patient in their last two years of life at Regional than Good Samaritan, because of different care strategies.
America's varied landscape of end-of-life experiences reflects different philosophies in how aggressively hospitals combat death, concludes Dartmouth's 2011 analysis. While some hospitals marshal doctors and devices to postpone death even when death is clearly certain, others favor care options that let the end of life proceed in comfortable settings, or even at home.
"We think that science drives clinical decision-making," said Dartmouth investigator Dr. Elliott Fisher. "But those decisions are sharply conditioned by how many beds are in our community and how our physicians have become accustomed to treating seriously ill patients.
"In the topsy-turvy world of health care, doctors and hospitals have a very powerful influence on how you are treated," he said.
Geographic and institutional variations in care are the subject of this installment of the ongoing series on the Cost of Dying. To understand those patterns, there is no better source of data than the Dartmouth analysis, which reveals patterns of care that patients and families can use to weigh where physicians are likely to be more, or less, aggressive.
Subjective decisions
California law states that physicians can not be required to provide medical care that they believe will be ineffective. But textbooks offer no standard formula for end-of-life treatment, and it can be hard to predict who will benefit or be harmed.
If patients have not specified in writing their end-of-life wishes in advance, their fates rest on doctors' accumulated subjective decisions about treatments and tests to order or to resist.
"These differences pan out because the way we practice is different," said Dr. Steven Pantilat, director of UCSF's Palliative Care Program. "It's not the patients."
For more than two decades, the Dartmouth Atlas Project has documented glaring variations in how medical resources are distributed and used in the United States. The project analyzes Medicare's billing records to obtain information about national, regional and local markets, as well as hospitals and their affiliated physicians. It aims to boost understanding of our health care system and forms the foundation for many efforts to improve care across America.
The project has its critics, who say its death analyses ignore the people who are still alive thanks to aggressive doctors.
Higher-spending hospitals seem to save more lives, according to one study of heart failure patients at six California teaching hospitals.
That finding is missed in the Dartmouth work because it focuses only on dead patients, according to author Michael Ong of UCLA. "For physicians, patients and patients' families, survival is a critical concern," he wrote.
But its supporters say the data shine a harsh light on "do everything" impulses in hospitals, which can prolong suffering or dying.
One end-of-life analysis is based on billing records of Medicare patients in their final two years of life between 2003 and 2007, the most recent years for which information was available. It assesses each hospital on an "intensity index," based on hospitalization of patients before their deaths.
Another analysis focuses more narrowly on care for people who died of cancer. It asks: In their final month of life, did they stay in the ICU, or have hospice care? Were they given chemotherapy or life-sustainers, such as ventilators and feeding tubes?
Among the findings revealed by the Atlas' data:
To ensure fair comparisons among regions, rates were adjusted to remove differences because of age, sex and racial compositions.
Intensity of care
Health care for elderly Americans at the end of life has been changing.
Dying patients are spending fewer days in the hospital and more time in hospice, investigators said.
But for patients who are hospitalized, the data show an increasing intensity of care -- with more doctors' visits and greater reliance on the high-cost ICU.
This holds true even for Bay Area hospitals like Stanford and UCSF, with strong palliative care programs that offer on-site relief from the pain and stress of a serious illness.
When 76-year-old Sarah Kyung Lee, of Foster City, fell and hit her head while on a walk in March, she was taken to Stanford, where she received IV lines, a urinary catheter and daily blood draws. Because she is a frail woman, with lifelong heart problems, the hospital sought to monitor her closely.
But her son, geriatrician Dr. Sei Lee of UCSF, insisted the hospital release her. So she was sent home to her board-and-care facility.
"It was exhausting, continually trying to prevent care that was too aggressive," he said.
She recovered in her own quiet bedroom, with a Bible, family photos and homemade Korean food.
Stanford Chief Medical Officer Dr. Norman Rizk responded that some families would be uncomfortable with the early discharge of a relative. "We acknowledge there is a wide variety of sentiments about the levels of care appropriate for elderly patients," he said. "Care cannot be generic; it must be about personal preferences."
What's happening is that "end of life is becoming more health care intensive," said Judy Citko, director of the Coalition for Compassionate Care in California. "It's a natural progression of two trends: People are living longer with more chronic conditions, and there are more things that the health care system can do."
Yet with all our new tools, it's harder to know what helps, and what doesn't, she said.
"For example, there are a lot more chemotherapy options," she said. "But there's not a clear demarcation when the transition occurs from chemo that has a good chance of being helpful to chemo that is a complete long shot."
Culture and resources
The Medicare data don't examine how hospitals help -- or don't help -- patients make these choices. And it doesn't reveal reasons for the variations in medical care at the end of life.
But research by Dartmouth and others suggests that treatment trends result from different medical cultures and resources.
In medicine, supply drives demand. So regions with a lot of doctors tend to have more hospitals, offer more medical services and charge more.
"The most expensive piece of medical equipment is the doctor's pen," which signs orders for hospitalizations, tests, treatments and referrals to pricey specialty doctors, writes Atul Gawande, author, public health researcher and surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
When a city or hospital has a lot of empty beds, local physicians unconsciously adapt to this higher capacity and admit more patients, the Dartmouth team said. Research at Dartmouth and elsewhere shows that when ICU beds are readily available, less severely ill patients fill them and stay longer.
Imagine that a patient's chronic condition worsens; if the nearby hospital has a lot of room, a doctor may reason it is safer and easier to treat them there.
But if the hospital doesn't have available beds, doctors may look harder for stay-at-home alternatives, said UCSF's Pantilat.
This explains the differences in care between San Francisco and Los Angeles. "In the San Francisco Bay Area, where hospitals are fuller, we see less intensive care than in L.A., where beds are readily available," said Maribeth Shannon of the California HealthCare Foundation in Sacramento.
Medical school curriculums also drive regional differences: Medical residents often practice where they studied, reinforcing the region's culture of care.
End-of-life training
At UCSF, medical students hear lectures in pain management and palliative care and participate in discussions about dying.
They even get lessons, using paid actors, in how to break bad news. Studies show that doctors who don't feel comfortable discussing end-of-life options are more likely to propose more treatment, no matter how futile.
The hospitals that take the time for vital conversations are the ones that keep dying patients out of ICUs, off ventilators and free of desperate chemotherapy, Pantilat said.
They give patients impartial and accurate information about end-of-life choices. They describe options of palliative care or hospice. They mention the complications of treatment. They probe families' goals, such as pain control, dignity and quality of life.
Those are some of the steps being taken by Daly City's Seton Medical Center, which in 2007 ranked high among Bay Area hospitals for its frequency of treating end-of-life patients in its ICU.
"We began to realize that we were protracting death, not ensuring life, and that wasn't right," said Seton Chief Medical Officer Dr. Irwin Shelub. The hospital hired a palliative care coordinator and chief medical officer. It insists on frequent family conferences. It has even put into place a "Medically Ineffective Care" policy, which forestalls unnecessary or ineffective care.
Under the policy, when Seton's medical team agrees that a patient would be better served by "comfort care," it meets with family members to say so. If the family disagrees, the hospital has the authority to discharge the patient and helps families find another facility.
"We've dramatically changed our direction," Shelub said. "We don't want to engage in futile care."
Even more ambitious city and statewide efforts are happening outside the Bay Area.
A model of "low intensity" end-of-life care, Gundersen Lutheran Health System of La Crosse, Wis., encouraged every city resident to complete an advance directive, written instructions specifying patients' end-of-life care preferences.
The result is that doctors there can tailor their treatments to each patients' desires. It also has hired social workers to talk with patients and families about end-of-life options and provide other support.
Oregon, which also ranks low in intensity of care, has a tradition of debating end-of-life issues. So residents know they have choices, said the California HealthCare Foundation's Shannon. The state recently pioneered an electronic registry for more than 120,000 POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) forms for the aged or very ill, in which patients set highly specific limits on the kinds of care they desire.
"The best places have a system in place -- so that patients can make their preferences clear, and physicians feel trained and supported," said Dartmouth's Fisher.
"That's how people get the right kind of care, when it matters most."

text: TRUCKEE, Calif. - A nice sunny day it was not. Nevertheless, 750 people registered and 609 reached the finish line of the Great Ski Race on Sunday, despite a wet mix of rain and snow that made for challenging skiing conditions."It was definitely kind of brutal," said Genevieve Evans of Carnelian Bay, who finished seventh among women and 62nd overall in a time of 2 hours, 3 minutes and 43 seconds. "Definitely slow. I crashed a lot. But it was fun."The annual fundraising race, which begins at the Tahoe Cross Country Center in Tahoe City and ends 30 kilometers later at the Cottonwood Restaurant and Bar in Truckee, returned for the 36th year after it was canceled in 2012 due to a lack of snow. The main fundraiser for the Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue Team, it remains one of the largest cross-country races west of the Mississippi, second only the Boulder Mountain Tour in Idaho.All race records were safe given the conditions Sunday, which varied from a wet snow at the higher elevations to a drizzly rain in Truckee, which caused many spills on the mushy snow. Brian Gregg of Minneapolis powered through the slop to claim the overall win. He posted a time of 1 hour, 34 minutes and 43 seconds, which was more than 25 minutes off the course record of 1 hour and 7 minutes. Spencer Eusden of Soda Springs was not far behind, crossing the line in 1:35.12, while Marcus Nash of Truckee rounded out the top three in 1:35.31.They were trailed by Reno's Wyatt Fereday (1:36.15), Truckee's Donatas Ereminas (1:39.32) and Truckee's Katerina Nash, who finished first among woman and sixth overall in 1:39.49. Last year's winner, Tav Streit, was eighth in 1:41.11.Beth Taylor of Soda Springs was the second woman to finish and placed 15th overall in a time of 1:45.05, while Caitlin Gregg, the wife of Brian Gregg, was the third woman and 24th overall in 1:50.12. Holly Whitney (1:55.46) and Cathy Howard (1:59.00), both of Truckee, were fourth and fifth, respectively, in the women's field.The soggy weather did not prevent the hundreds of cross-country skiers and spectators from enjoying a festive party at the finish line, which also spilled over to the dry confines of the Cottonwood as racers poured in."I just like the atmosphere," said Gus Johnson of Tahoe City, who competed in his fifth-ever Great Ski Race. "It really is a great race. And it draws a lot of fast people from out of town, so it's kind of fun to mix it up with them."Johnson, who placed 27th overall in 1:54.29, made a point of entertaining the crowd with a one-footed finish before he skidded to a crashing stop."I knew I wasn't having a great race, so I figured I'd finish in style," Johnson said. "So I took off one ski and went across the finish line before wiping out, which is pretty expected at the finish line of the Great Ski Race."Johnson wasn't the only one to go down in the final descent into the finish area. Many of the racers struggled to hold it together, which is typical given the tired state of their legs, but was that much worse Sunday in the slushy snow. "I just tucked all the way through the finish line, because I've never done this before and didn't know what it was like," said John Gerstenberger of San Francisco. "And when I saw there wasn't much room to stop I just threw it on my back in the turtle position. It worked out all right."Find complete results at www.farwestnordic.org.

There is probably nothing that bothers me as much as when people don't accept answers to their question and give no explanation whatsoever. Did you find an answer by yourself? Post it! Did you find all answers unfit? Leave them a comment, so they can know what you're still missing.
There really is no excuse to just leave them sitting there for more than, let's say, a week. Any more than that's just being a dick to the people that went out of their way to help you, as well as harming RPG.SE as a whole.

Well folks, the action keeps getting better, and the group continues to grow! This month we had 9 "attendees" and several more visitors at the pool. Lots of boats in the water, others under construction to be viewed, and a good time had by all.
Curtis came over from the Philly area with 2 tiny subs, an Alfa and a highly modofied Wally World USS Dallas.
Bill Gleaves from TF 50 brought his USCG rescue boat to patrol in case anyone needed assistance
Jeff had his beautiful Seehund along, running to perfection and looking sinister in camo (which works!)
Garry had his Engle fleet boat along, who's electronics had just arrived back from Germany. He's making progress, and I'm sure it will be a work of art when completed. Here's a serious looking group pondering the internals:
A bit later, Garry seems pleased with the results of the conference, while Don's looking rather smug!
Don also brought a tiny skimmer / buzzbomb / waterbug of some sort!
Curtis had some stick time on my Holland, and seems here to be hoping to not be overrun by Bill's rescue boat!
I had the aformentioned Holland along, and also Batfish and a PT.
Joe came all the way up from Huntington only to discover that the lid to his watertight compartment for his Krick U-25 was at home on his workbench. DOH! Joe, make a checklist, bud.
Bob and Jim were watching, and scheming of what to bring along in the future. Bob has some BIG boats, and Jim's got a fish (seriously) under construction. Here's the obligatory group shot:
If you're not in the picture, well, you're really missing out on a great time. See you all next month!

Reunions on tap as Saunders, Rangers visit Halos
Ex-Angels lefty eyes strong start vs. former Texas star Hamilton's club
Joe Saunders is done settling for OK.
In his mind, the Rangers left-hander has already done it too many times this season.
"The last few starts have been decent, but they could have been better," Saunders said Wednesday. "That's the goal, not to have an OK start, but a good start."
He'll get his next chance Friday, when the Rangers head to Anaheim for the opener of a three-game series with the Angels.
Saunders pitched for the Angels from 2005-10, and he was an All-Star in '08 before being traded to Arizona. When he takes the mound Friday, he'll certainly see a crop of fresh faces.
"Every team switches and changes so much, there are not many left. I think [Jered] Weaver, [Howie] Kendrick and [Erick] Aybar," Saunders said of his former Halos teammates. "That's pretty much it. Same stadium, new team."
In his most recent start, the 33-year-old gave up eight hits and two earned runs in six innings Saturday against the Mariners.
With his previous start falling on Saturday, Saunders will have had five full days of rest. Friday's game is the seventh of a nine-game road trip to the West Coast for the Rangers. The focus, Saunders said, is on pounding the zone early.
"The challenge is going to be strike one. That's the goal, throw strike one and get ahead ... be on the offensive," Saunders said. "Controlling the count is big, and getting early outs, going on the attack and being aggressive, attacking the strike zone and going right after hitters."
The Rangers will meet up with left fielder Josh Hamilton, who played for Texas for six seasons before heading to Anaheim -- a team that Texas manager Ron Washington knows is on the rise.
"They are getting their team back together. Albert [Pujols] is healthy; Hamilton is back. Adding those two really helps," Washington said. "Their pitching is better. They're tough -- they have always been tough as far as I'm concerned."
The Angels have won eight of 16 in the month of June, following a 5-3 loss to Cleveland in 10 innings on Thursday. The Halos will enter this series in second place behind the A's after a road trip in which they dropped two of three to both the Braves and Indians.
Garrett Richards is starting the series opener for the Angels. The right-hander was originally slated to start Thursday, but the postponement on Wednesday pushed C.J. Wilson back a day. Richards is having an All-Star-caliber season, with a 2.87 ERA, 87 strikeouts, a 1.10 WHIP and just two homers allowed in 87 2/3 innings. Catcher Hank Conger certainly thinks so.
"Personally, for me, quality-wise and stuff-wise and everything, I think he's an All-Star pitcher, and that's just how I feel about it," Conger said. "I think by the time this season is over -- not to put pressure on him or anything -- you're going to look back at his numbers and you're going to be like, 'Wow. That's a really good season for a guy who's in his first year of being an everyday starter.'"
Angels: Calhoun finding a rhythm
In a single game, Angels right fielder Kole Calhoun raised his batting average from .256 to .276 after going 4-for-5 with a homer, two RBIs and three runs scored against Cleveland on Tuesday.
Calhoun is finding a groove offensively, something he initially struggled with after coming back from an ankle injury he sustained in mid-April. Calhoun, a .288 career hitter against lefties, has historically been strong against southpaws, which bodes well for him when Saunders takes the mound Friday.
"He really started getting into his game when he hurt his ankle," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "When he came back, there's no doubt that he wanted to pick it up as fast as he could where he could contribute, and I think he got a little bit too big with his swing. But I think he's definitely found a comfort zone."
Rangers: Moreland likely out until the spring
After flirting with the idea of forgoing ankle reconstruction surgery for a simpler procedure that would only sideline him for three to four weeks, Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland will indeed undergo surgery Monday. He's expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season, and he should be ready for Spring Training next season.
Moreland has been on the disabled list since June 8, and he'll end his season hitting .247 with two homers and 23 RBIs in 52 games. Dr. Robert Anderson in North Carolina will perform the surgery.
Moreland missed time each of the past two seasons because of hamstring problems, and the Rangers believe that his ankle may have contributed to those issues.
"He has also had lower back stuff that we really didn't talk about that he played through," general manager Jon Daniels said. "In talking to him, this might put an end to the issues he has had to fight through."
Worth noting
• Adrian Beltre enters Friday's opener with 2,495 career hits. He needs five more to become the sixth third baseman with 2,500 hits. The first five are George Brett (3,154), Wade Boggs (3,010), Brooks Robinson (2,848), Chipper Jones (2,726) and Buddy Bell (2,514).
• The Angels have dropped seven of their past eight meetings against the Rangers, and they went 4-15 against them last year.

Ancient defense tower becomes a sleek home
Article Summary
British home designer Duncan Jackson recently joined forces with architectural firm Piercy Conner to transform an 1880 defense tower in Suffolk, England into a stylish and accommodating home. The defense tower, being a historically-registered building, was transformed whilst maintaining its structural appearance and integrity. The project came with a list of obstacles, including the tower's round structure, minimal windows, 12 foot-thick walls and wetlands environment. Despite these hurdles, the joint venture successfully created a contemporary home with an abundance of light, warmth and a streamlined interior design.

Profiling the ten most populous cities in the United States during ten critical eras of political development, Cities in American Political History presents a unique singular focus on American cities, their government and politics, industry, commerce, labor, and race and ethnicity. Cities in American Political History analyzes the role that large cities from New York to Chicago to San Jose, have played in U.S. politics and policymaking. Each entry is structured for straightforward comparison across issues and eras. The city profiles include basic data and statistics for the era and are accompanied by maps of each era and the largest cities at that time.
Guest curated by graduate student Katie Wills
Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.
