How to fit and repair taps
New basin taps are a great way to upgrade your bathroom. Look out for versions with an eco click mechanism, as they'll help you and your family control how much water you use. If one of your taps is dripping, try to fix it promptly - otherwise it'll stain your bath or sink and cause erosion inside the mechanism of the tap.
Practical planning - Bathrooms
Whilst planning your bathroom it can be easy to forget those little practical details. Think about the kind of look you want to achieve but also the space you are buying it for; a family bathroom will have different needs to a downstairs cloakroom.

Pork Pie | The Pork pie hat is recognized as the hat choice of many Jazz and Blues musicians in New Orleans. Its name has a very literal meaning. The food sellers would take old dress hats, trim off the damaged brim parts and re-loop the hats over pie trays. The hat is similar to a fedora but with a flatter design. The pork pie style hat is one of those classic iconic styles that will always be a part of Americana history. Pork pie hats nowadays are available in a variety of crown styles, and brims ranging from very stingy to more formal widths. We carry summer straw, diamond crown, short brim, and striped styles. Our pork pie hats are made of felt, wool, tweed, polyester and wool. Every hat tells a story. The pork pie hat has come a very long way, and the design may have changed but it is still a very popular hat style. |

Voices of Practitioners: Teacher Research in Early Childhood Education is NAEYC's peer-reviewed, professional online journal. Its main purpose is to provide a vehicle for publishing the research of early childhood teachers, who are often underrepresented as authors in the educational research arena. This publication includes informative articles, resources, and tools to promote the participation of early childhood teachers in teacher research.
In teacher research, teachers engage in the systematic study of their own practice. Deeply involved in the daily lives of children and their families, teachers provide a critical insider perspective through publishing their investigations and reflections on life in their classrooms.
Voices of Practitioners includes four sections: Teacher Research Articles, What Is Teacher Research?, Actions and Reflections, and For the Teacher Educator. In What is Teacher Research? the articles describe the meaning of teacher research. Actions and Reflections highlights the wide range of early childhood teacher research initiatives and inquiry communities through brief summaries. For the Teacher Educator offers practical information and stimulating discussions about teacher research issues for early childhood teacher educators who want to incorporate teacher research into their programs and support teacher research in early education communities.
Teacher research is important to the early childhood profession. Teachers grow more competent when they examine their questions about teaching and learning, reflect with colleagues, and make improvements in their teaching practice. Their research benefits the early childhood field by contributing to the knowledge base on how young children develop and learn and by providing insight into the role of the teacher.
We are currently seeking submissions. See the submission guidelines to submit to any of the sections.

Doctors said Lani is "never going to achieve anything." She defies their low expectations every day. She is a graceful gymnast and leads by example, mentoring other athletes.
Lani is a Special Olympics gold medalist many times over and a source of inspiration to her friends and family.
Remember Lani DeMello? She was born with intellectual disabilities and a heart defect, and her doctors didn't believe that she was ever going to amount to much. As they discharged Lani from the hospital as an infant, doctors told her mother, "Take her home. She's never going to achieve anything." Flash forward 25 years and Lani is a Special Olympics gold medalist many times over and a source of inspiration to her friends and family. Now, when not competing, Lani gives back to the community both through her work at a local health clinic and as a Special Olympics coach, serving as a mentor and role model to other athletes.
As a young girl, Lani showed an interest in dance and spent several years taking classes at a local ballet studio. Ana recalls watching her daughter's recitals and straining to see Lani at the back of the stage. Although she tried hard, Lani could never quite keep up with the other dancers and was never given the opportunity to shine. Then, when Lani was 13, a friend recommended that she sign up to participate in Special Olympics. There, Lani finally had the support she needed. The change, Ana says, was almost immediate. At Lani's first gymnastics competition, she won almost exclusively gold medals and, for the first time in her life, realized her own potential.
From that day on, Ana and her husband Donald made the commitment to drive their daughter 52 miles twice a week to the nearest gymnastics training facility in Georgia. To them, the commute was nothing if it meant that they could bring happiness and achievement into their daughter's life. Now, 52 miles seems insignificant when compared with the distances that Lani has traveled to compete nationally and internationally. Ana says she is still astonished at the opportunities her daughter has had in her life. "When you have a child with an intellectual disability, you think your world is going to be closed. Special Olympics has opened a whole new world for Lani and given her opportunities that we never dreamed would be possible for our daughter."
This summer, Lani will be traveling to the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Athens, Greece as an intern for the Special Olympics International Technical Delegate for Rhythmic Gymnastics, Cindy Bickman. There, she will be assisting Cindy with logistics and helping to prepare other athletes for competition. This should be a piece of cake for Lani – four years ago she received her coaching certification and has been assisting with the Georgia gymnastics program ever since.
The DeMellos are thrilled about this opportunity and are confident that their daughter will be an asset to the team. "Lani is such a great assistant," Ana says with pride, "She can be the performer and she can be the cheerleader." For her part, Lani is looking forward to sharing her experience and skills with her peers.
Unwilling to miss the action, both Ana and Donald will be accompanying their daughter to Greece to support her in her new role. While Ana performs her duties as the official hair and makeup artist for the U.S. gymnastic team, Donald will be helping to cheer the athletes on.
When not coaching or training, Lani applies her incredible discipline and drive to pursuits outside of athletics. Once a week, she works at a local health clinic pulling charts and interacting with patients. Ana says that employment brings Lani a lot of satisfaction and gives her the opportunity to display all the skills she has developed through Special Olympics. "Special Olympics is at the root of her success in a job environment. She is great at dealing with people and talking to people of all circumstances."
What does the future hold for Lani? The DeMellos have no doubt that their daughter will continue on her road to success, both as a coach and an athlete. Still, they maintain that Lani is more focused on the present and on doing her best each day. Regardless of what lies ahead, there is one thing, Ana says, of which they are sure. "Without Special Olympics, none of this would have been possible."
For every athlete like Lani DeMello there are many more we have not yet reached. Help us reach out to one more person who wants to participate in Special Olympics. Donate today.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.

KSwiss Women's BigShot Shoe Review
If we told you the KSwiss BigShot might be the shoe to help you hit bigger shots, you'd probably ask, "how can a shoe help me hit bigger shots?"
Well, this KSwiss aims to deliver speed. Big time speed. To achieve this lofty goal, KSwiss has equipped the BigShot with a Ballistic Propulsion Plate to help keep you on the balls of your feet. Then there's the Guideglide system in the midsole to keep your feet stable while in motion. Plus, there's loads of mesh beneath the Dura-Wrap and a lightweight heat-welded TPU support system to lock in the feet. The shoe also promises durability, with a six-month guarantee and plenty of toe protection from a solid layer of Dura-Wrap at the tip of the shoe.
So did our testers find themselves speeding around the court and hitting bigger shots? After a couple months of testing, here are our testers' findings.
Comfort - Score: 4.2
On the comfort front, the BigShot offered our testers plenty of cushioning. The Superfoam cushioning system helped create a comfortable shoe for Brittany. She said, "I found these shoes to be very comfortable right out of the box. There is a lot of cushioning, especially on my heels. I did not experience any blisters, pinching or ankle rubbing."
Carol was impressed by the fit, saying, "I felt there was ample room for my high arches and wide feet, and there was good heel support. My feet were comfortable across the ball of the foot and through the arch."
Socks raised an issue for Kana, who stated, "Overall, the shoe was really comfortable. The toe box was a little shallow at first, but it opened up after a few sessions. I noticed the ankle collar was wider than other shoes, making it wrap around more toward the anklebone, and the grip material inside went all the way to the bottom. This combination made the shoes 'eat' my lower cut socks, so I had to wear higher socks. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it made it difficult to wear the socks I am most comfortable with."
Kimber was also comfortable. She said, "These shoes were comfortable from the beginning. The heel was snug, yet there was adequate room through the forefoot. At no time did the shoes pinch or poke my feet. The lower heel rake hit my Achilles tendon in just the right spot. The tongue and internal padding also contoured to the shape of my feet. After several sets of play my feet felt padded and comfortable. My only complaint with this shoe was that I needed to compensate for the wide toe box by lacing the top of the shoe very tightly to keep my feet from sliding forward. This caused the top of the shoe to buckle and dimple. If I loosened the laces my feet would jam into the tip of the toe on any forward motion."
Ventilation - Score: 3.6
While they loved the cushioned feel of the BigShot, most of the team felt ventilation was a trade-off. Kimber said, "The downside to more padding is less ventilation. The sides of the shoe provided great structure and stability, but not enough airflow to keep my feet cool. I wear a mid-weight sock for extra cushioning and usually don't have issues with my feet overheating, but on the warm days on the court my feet were too hot. The vamp is perforated with mesh, but still not very aerated."
Carol agreed, saying, "The webbing looked like it would be nice and airy, but my feet still felt hot in the BigShots."
Carrying an extra pair of socks to the courts, Brittany also concurred. She said, "I wasn't overly thrilled with the ventilation in these shoes. My feet tend to sweat a lot, and I didn't feel there was adequate breathing. My feet did get hot when I was playing more competitive matches, and I would need to change my socks after playing."
Kana, though, disagreed. She said, "The shoe has a lot of mesh in the toe box and tongue, which I favor in shoes as it keeps them pretty breathable."
Arch Support - Score: 3.9
Though the arch sits slightly below medium height in the BigShot, our team had mixed feelings on support. Carol said, "The support was not bad. I usually have to put arch supports in, and I probably would if I continued to wear these shoes, but I was impressed with the arch support. I have unusually high arches."
With medium arches, Kimber thought there was room for improvement. She said, "There didn't feel like there was much in the way of support through the arch. My arch is medium height and is not a troublesome spot on my foot, but after pounding on the court awhile I felt some extra support in the arch would have given me more comfort."
Pleased with the comfort, Kana said, "I felt like the arch support was just the right height, and placement of the arch was right for my feet."
Brittany, on the other hand, said, "After playing in the shoes several times I felt the arch was just a little high for my medium arch foot. While the arch was a little high, the shoe was still comfortable and pain free, and did not affect my play."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 4.0
The BigShot is equipped with Guideglide in the midsole and TPU midfoot support straps in the upper. Kana was generally pleased with the support and stability, saying, "At times I felt like my foot would slide a little in the shoe when making tough cuts on the court. I figured it was due to the flexibility of the mesh. I liked the combination of mesh and DuraWrap, it kept my foot comfortable while maintaining stability."
Agreeing, Carol said, "I certainly felt secure. My foot did not move around, and I felt very stable. It was a huge plus to feel very stable and secure after my back surgery."
With a narrower foot, Brittany struggled. She stated, "The shoe was wide for my narrow foot, so I had to tie my shoes as tightly as they could go to prevent my foot from sliding around in my shoe while I was moving on the court. Even after tightening the laces there was still plenty of room in the shoe, and my feet still slipped while I was playing. However, the shoe came up high enough around my ankles that I never felt like I was going to roll my ankle."
Kimber also noted a wide fit, saying, "I appreciated the stabilizing features on this shoe. The wider forefoot base kept my feet steady on the court. I do not have a tendency to roll my ankles, but this shoe would be a good choice for those who do. The curved edges of the sole kept the shoe from catching on the court and gave play a fluid feel. The shoe is solid, but the toe box is too wide for me."
Sole Durability - Score: 4.1
The BigShot has the Aosta 7 outsole and also carries a six-month durability guarantee. Our team was pleased with the performance in this category. Brittany said, "The durability of this shoe was great compared to the Nike Lunar Speeds that I wear. After a couple of weeks of playing the shoe started to smooth around the side toe area."
"There wasn't much wear at all except at the outrigger," said Kana. "Looking at the shoes, one wouldn't be able to tell how many hours I've put on them."
Carol reported good durability as well, saying, "The soles did not really show much wear for the time that I wore them. I played in them for about 35 hours."
Also a fan of the durability, Kimber said, "The outsole was beefy, but not clumsy. The shoe seemed to wear fairly evenly, though the bottom of the big toe is always the first to go in my shoes."
Toe Durability - Score: 4.2
Our toe dragging testers were pleased in this area as well. Kimber said, "The DuraWrap guard on the top of the shoe provided that extra protection for those of us who are toe draggers. The material KSwiss used will hold up and maintain the new look of the shoe longer than most, I think."
Brittany agreed. She said, "I drag my right toe when I serve so I saw some rubbing in that area. The top cap of the shoe is very thick, so there was plenty of material left for me to burn through."
Traction - Score: 4.5
A mix of tread patterns aids the traction of the BigShot. Kana played with ease. She said, "The traction was good on court. I didn't experience any difficulties starting and stopping or making aggressive direction changes."
Traction was a standout feature for Kimber, who said, "The traction was definitely a strength of the shoe for me. Recently, the courts have been moist and were somewhat slippery, but the varied tread pattern provided great grip. Throughout my hours of play with this shoe, slipping or sliding was never an issue."
Carol said, "I thought the grip was great, and I felt very stable and sure with my movement."
Preferring a lower ride in her shoes, Brittany had mixed feelings, saying, "I would say the traction on these shoes was OK. I felt balanced on the court when starting and stopping for balls. However, I felt slightly impaired with the thick outsole because it was as if I were sitting high above the court, which made changing directions awkward for me."
Weight - Score: 3.6
Weighing 13 ounces (size 8.5), the BigShots had the testers wishing for a lighter ride. Brittany said, "These shoes were heavy for me; I prefer a lighter weight shoe. While the thick sole was great for durability, it also meant I was clunking around the court and moving a little slower."
Longer matches weighed on Carol, who said, "Herein lies the problem, these shoes have a lot going for them but they were just too heavy. I felt it was a chore to run in them. When I first started playing it was OK, but as time progressed it became really tough. I was not picking up my feet and was not moving well. I actually weighed these shoes against my favorite New Balance shoes, the 900s. The KSwiss weighed 14 ounces in my size and the New Balance weighed 11 ounces (both weights include my orthotics). The weight hampered my maneuverability."
Kana agreed, saying, "I was surprised at how heavy this shoe felt considering the amount of mesh used. Sometimes the more cushioning a shoe has, the heavier it feels. It made me feel a bit slower than usual."
But for Kimber, the weight felt good. She said, "The weight of this shoe is comparable to the shoe that I normally wear. KSwiss shoes can be heavy, but they did a good job decreasing the weight while maintaining the structure and integrity of the shoe."
Overall - Score: 3.9
Though lighter than most KSwiss tennis shoes, our testers still thought the BigShots were too heavy to maximize their speed on the court. In the end, though, the BigShot pleased our testers with its comfort and its overall stability. They noted that there is no break-in required to reap the benefits of this comfortable shoe. The shoe offered durability and cushioning not often found in lightweight shoes. The shoe also offers a great fit for wider feet. While it may have fallen short in the speed department, the BigShot proves to be a winner for those seeking comfort, stability, durability and traction.
Brittany "I liked the cushioning and support the shoe offered. I also liked how there was no break-in period."
Carol "The shoe is roomy, has good arch support, and feels solid, stable and secure."
Kana "The comfort was excellent."
Kimber "I appreciated the padding and the thick outsole. The comfortable sole cut the pounding on the court, and the dependable traction gave me confidence. The simple cosmetics also appealed to me."
Brittany "The shoe was too heavy for my liking, and I'm not a fan of all white shoes. The weight and wide fit were big negatives, and I would not recommend it to anyone who has narrow feet."
Carol "The weight was a huge issue and the reason I stopped using them. Age and previous health problems (back surgery and slipped vertebra) could certainly factor into this, but whatever, they were too heavy for me."
Kana "The shoe felt a little bulky, and the heel could've been narrower to prevent my socks from being pulled down."
Kimber "My only complaint with this shoe was that I needed to compensate for the wide toe box by lacing the top of the shoe very tightly to keep my feet from sliding forward. This caused the top of the shoe to buckle and dimple. If I loosened the tie, any forward motion would push my feet into the top of the shoe and jam my big toe."
Compared to other shoes or brands
Brittany "The Nike Lunar Speed 2s are narrower and lighter than the KSwiss BigShots, and that shape fits my foot shape more. The Nike Breathe Free II has similar high comfort and cushioning levels that I like when I am playing, though."
Carol "I really, really thought these shoes were going to be my new favorites. They were roomy, comfortable, supportive, stable and very secure, but the weight really hampered my maneuverability. As soon as I switched back to my New Balance I felt like I was in ballet slippers."
Kana "Even though the adidas Barricade 6.0 weighs almost an ounce heavier, the BigShot felt just as heavy. It could be the wide profile of the shoe made it a little bulkier to move around in, as the Barricade feels narrower. I favor more flexible shoes like the BigShot, which was more comfortable."
Kimber "The BigShot, as with most KSwiss shoes, runs wide. The padding and the comfort of the insole and the outsole is comparable to the Wilson Tour Vision. The Asics Gel Challenger 7 and the Nike Lunar Speeds were lighter, but not by much. This is a nice, lighter weight shoe that will make the customer with a need for a wider toe box very happy."

Note: Not everyone is a chocolate fanatic, and these sweet, buttery gems are not to be resisted, on Valentine�s Day or any other. They�re perfect to serve with coffee at the end of a nice dinner. Be careful not to overcook the caramels or they will harden long before they burn. Also, if they spread once you�ve cut them, not to worry, they�re delicious anyway.
Yield: 16 caramels
Vegetable oil
1� cups sugar
� cup light corn syrup
1 cup heavy cream
5 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon fleur de sel, plus extra for sprinkling
� teaspoon vanilla extract
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with pan with parchment paper, allowing it to drape over two sides, then brush the paper lightly with oil.
In a deep saucepan, combine � cup water, sugar, corn syrup and bring them to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the mixture is golden brown. Swirl the pan, don�t stir, and watch at the end because it burns easily.
In another pot, bring cream, butter and 1 teaspoon fleur de sel to a simmer over medium heat. Set aside.
When the sugar mixture is done, turn off the heat and slowly add in the cream. It will bubble violently then subside. Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon and cook until the mixture reaches 248 F on a candy thermometer (about 10 minutes). Pour the caramel into the prepared pan and refrigerate until firm, about two hours.
When the caramels are cold, turn them out onto a cutting board and remove the paper. Cut the square in half. Starting with the long side, roll one piece into an 8-inch log. Repeat with the second piece. Sprinkle logs with fleur de sel, cut each log into 8 pieces. Wrap in parchment or glassine paper and serve individually.

Just like old times, San Francisco 49ers fans have hit the jackpot with their team -- but they'll need to strike gold themselves to come along for the ride.
As the Niners faithful celebrate the team's first trip to the Super Bowl in nearly two decades, longtime fans fresh off the sticker shock of high ticket prices in the team's new Santa Clara stadium are now facing more huge costs to see their team play for the NFL title.
A small, lucky group of season-ticket holders on Tuesday morning won a lottery to buy a pair of face-value tickets for Super Bowl XLVII at $850, $950 or $1,250 apiece. Like the rest of us, the remainder of those season-ticket holders were left to scour the Web for resale tickets averaging more than $3,000 per seat.
"We love our team, but you know -- we're just not willing to pay that kind of money," said season-ticket holder Sharon Osgood, 49, of Hayward, who already paid thousands of dollars for seats at the new stadium but didn't win the ticket lottery. She's hoping the resale prices drop so that she, her boyfriend and family can take their RV to the game in New Orleans.
Some die-hard fans have already decided the best seat for the big game against the Baltimore Ravens on Feb. 3 will be on their couch. But many others, like Joseph Nguyen, have already booked their flight and hotel -- hoping to get tickets later.
"They're asking for an arm and a leg; that's why I don't have tickets yet," said Nguyen, a 26-year-old season-ticket holder from San Francisco who also bought into the new stadium and didn't win the Super Bowl ticket lottery. "I could eat a little less or travel a little less, and I'll be OK" financially.
The 49ers and Ravens each received 17.5 percent of the tickets for the game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, while the host team -- the New Orleans Saints -- got 5 percent. The remaining NFL teams each received 1.2 percent, and the NFL keeps the rest.
The NFL said there will be fewer than 73,000 seats available, meaning the 49ers, in all, received fewer than 13,000 tickets.
The 49ers first gave tickets to their corporate sponsors, staff, players and such and reserved some tickets to sell as part of travel packages, while the rest -- an undisclosed amount -- went to season-ticket holders through the random drawing.
Fans with 50-yard-line seats since the Kezar Stadium days who also plunked down thousands of dollars for seats in the new stadium had the same odds as new season-ticket holders up in the nosebleeds.
Several fans who contacted a reporter or commented on social media said they were frustrated because they had stuck with the team through thick and thin but could not afford to see the team's biggest game of all.
Their remarks echoed a similar sentiment seen after the Niners last year released ticket prices for their $1.2 billion new stadium, which is under construction and set to open in 2014. At the Santa Clara stadium, fans must pay a new, one-time seat license fee of $2,000 to $80,000 per seat, and then buy season tickets at $850 to $3,750 a year, or about double the price at Candlestick Park.
The team said it has sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of seat licenses in the new stadium and that it had made as many Super Bowl tickets available as possible -- especially considering that the NFL has control over pricing and availability of tickets.
"The Super Bowl is obviously a tough ticket, and it's a high-priced ticket so we recognize that as well," said Jamie Brandt, the team's vice president of ticketing and suites. "I think for the Super Bowl our goal is to try to make it as fair and equitable as possible."
While seats are still available at the new stadium, the waiting list for tickets for the team's final season at sold-out Candlestick Park continues to grow as the 49ers have continued their exciting playoff run.
On Tuesday, SeatGeek and TiqIQ -- sites that track online ticket sales -- reported that Super Bowl tickets were selling for an average of $3,000 to $3,300 on the secondary ticket market, a drop of about $200 in two days and less than the last two Super Bowls. Ticket holders on StubHub were advertising more than 4,000 seats, with some as cheap as $2,100 while suites were on sale for more than $100,000.
A 49ers official package offering air travel, a three-night hotel stay and an end-zone ticket was on sale Tuesday for $8,410.
"It doesn't even give a chance to little blue-collar families like us," said San Mateo resident Desiree Finau, 33. But "I am a die-hard, and I will support them no matter what."
Tickets prices are expected to drop as game day nears, but the entire game day and travel package will still be several thousand dollars.
As Burlingame business owner Ron Rosberg, 73, who couldn't afford seats in the new stadium and didn't win the lottery despite having 18 season tickets at Candlestick, put it: "You could imagine how many Costco big-screen sets you can buy" with that.

I figured this would become a Phoronix article. Anyway, I'm the author of the GLSL IR to TGSI translator that this article is about.
Not sure why Michael didn't mention my name a single time in the entire article, though.
Phoronix: A Mesa Branch Provides GLSL IR To TGSI Translator
What's been talked about extensively and for quite a while but not acted upon too much is ridding Mesa of Mesa IR, it's intermediate representation used internally by core Mesa and its drivers. It was also talked about as a possible summer project of replacing Mesa IR with GLSL IR. Now though an individual has begun gutting out Mesa IR and providing a direct GL Shading Language IR to TGSI (the Gallium3D IR) translator...
I figured this would become a Phoronix article. Anyway, I'm the author of the GLSL IR to TGSI translator that this article is about.
Not sure why Michael didn't mention my name a single time in the entire article, though.
Best of luck in this effort! Once you have something that's somewhat testable, let Michael know so he can put out an article about it. I don't know if you will need to write driver-specific code for this work (for r600g, r300g, i965g, svga, nouveau, etc) -- but if not, I will be able to help test on r600g/evergreen and i965g and svga. And if you do need driver-specific code, be sure to ask the individual driver maintainers to take a look and see if they can help with that.
i'll test it with my rv620 chipset (r600g) .
Thanks for your works !
Hi, this is great news!
But what are the main differences between the Plombo and the LunarGLASS versions?
Think of a line between the common code in Mesa and the HW-specific driver code.
Plombo's work is "above the line", shortening the path used to generate TGSI from GLSL by going from GLSL IR directly to TGSI rather than the current GLSL IR => Mesa IR => TGSI path.
Most of the LunarGlass work so far has been "below the line", implementing a more flexible mechanism for converting and optimizing a HW-independent IR (such as TGSI) into HW-specific instructions.
I've just pushed to my branch again. Before, the translator still generated Mesa IR that wasn't ultimately used, but still depended on some information from it. Now, that information has been moved elsewhere in the translator, so I was able to remove the generation of Mesa IR instructions completely.

Another successful patrol is logged and the boats are back in the yard. Attendance was good (many new faces) and the number of running boats increased greatly over last year. Most of all it was the people -- who provided the hard work that made it all happen, and the wonderful fellowship that makes meeting so enjoyable.
Bravo Zulu to:
Gail Phillips who got all the boats back online on Saturday, and constructed both the nav course and the sharpest looking frequency board in the r/c sub fleet.
Carl Dietz who kept us well fed and hydrated, informed in the event run-up and handled airport shuttle duties beautifully.
Rich Allsmiller who provided a stunning 2 hour presentation on the Disney Nautilus and the legacy of Harper Goff and Tom Scherman. A truly great new pal.
Wayne Frey who was once again a driving force in the event, helping us plan and execute as well as the always ready rescue diver/underwater photographer.
Heading to the barn: Rich Allsmiller, Paul Crozier, Wayne Frey, Gail Phillips, Carl Dietz, Don Baker, Jeff Porteous.
Rich schools Carl and the group on Nautilus details.
It was a great time and a pleasure to be a part of. Looking forward to next year!

Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine (9780939616626)
Publisher: Eastland Press
Binding: Hardcover
Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine demonstrates how a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between organ and channel theory can lead to more precise diagnoses and better clinical results. The book is a collaboration between Wang Ju Yi, one of modern China's most respected scholars, teachers, and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, and his American apprentice and practitioner, Jason Robertson.
While most textbooks focus either on the functions of the organs in basic physiology or on the uses of the channels in treatment, this book shows the essential relationships between the two. Theory and practice are connected through a detailed discussion of a channel palpation methodology developed by Dr Wang, which leads to more precise and effective point selection, location, and technique.
Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine was developed during Mr Robertson's apprenticeship with Dr Wang in Beijing, and is presented in a unique and highly readable format that preserves the intimacy of dialogue between apprentice and teacher, with questions and answers, narratives and case studies.
