Product Details
Dodge Magnum R/T 2005-2008, Force II™ Stainless Steel Dual Cat-Back Exhaust System (817405) by Flowmaster®, MILD SOUND. Super 44 Series Mufflers. Dual Rear Exit. 2.5" Tubing. 4" Logo Embossed Tips. Includes Scavenger X-Pipe. The Force II Series is designed for a moderate or mild performance tone experience (depends on application and exhaust type), suitable for everyday street driving. The character of the exhaust sound still has the deep, rumbling tone that signifies power, but at a more subdued decibel level that gives a pleasant performance character to driving without being tiring.
- Available sound levels: Moderate Sound / Mild Sound (depends on application and exhaust type)
- Suitable for Everyday Driving
- Increases Power
- Increases Torque
- Every System Tuned on Dynamometer
- Perfect Fitment
The Force II system can improve power, torque, responsiveness and mileage for any vehicle and bring true performance rumble to everyday drivers. The performance character of the sound is unmistakable, without being aggressive. It is a power sound that is perfect for long distance or commuter driving, a sound that shows off the muscle of the engine without tiring the driver or drawing unwanted attention from neighbors and law enforcement.
All Flowmaster exhaust systems give the same improvement of performance. All Flowmaster exhaust systems produce a beautiful deep performance tone. Choosing between the five different exhaust systems is not a technical decision – it is all up to your personal taste. It's A Sound Decision™. The racing origin is evident in every Flowmaster exhaust system. All the five series of systems are tuned for maximum performance. They differ in technology and tuning, and thus in tone and character, giving you a performance engine sound to your personal liking.
Flowmaster exhaust systems employ two unique technologies, the patented Delta Flow and the Laminar Flow. They give different characters of sound and can be tuned to achieve the desired exhaust note. Flowmaster Exhaust System Technology is so versatile and gives such a high degree of control that it is used both by racers, who want maximum power, and by the U.S. Air Force in Stealth applications, where maximum silence and minimum heat emissions are prime considerations.
Be it for a domestic or import truck, SUV, off-road warrior, daily driver, muscle car, euro-spec cruiser or sport compact vehicle, Flowmaster technicians personally hand select the right muffler, tubing size, resonator, and tip to make the process easy for you. Best of all, Flowmaster stainless steel exhaust systems are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty; ensuring that your exhaust will last as long as you own your vehicle. If you choose aluminized steel products, Flowmaster backs them up with a 3-year warranty.
887.27Brand: Flowmaster Part Number: 817405 UPC: 700042022458 This part is compatible with 15 vehicle(s)Flowmaster® has its roots in solving the engine noise problems encountered by California racers in the 1980s. In 1983 Flowmaster's founder, Ray Flugger, created his first patented design of racing silencers, which dampened noise with minimal loss of power. Ray attached handles to ease carrying the square shaped race mufflers through the race pits, and the mufflers became known as the "suitcase mufflers." Today, the innovative Flowmaster mufflers are the result of years of development with top race engine builders, thousands of hours of dyno research and "real-world" on-track testing.

Gorgeous, but don't count on multiples matching. Ok, we needed 2 sinks for a master bath remodel, and so I selected Qty 2 and hit order. Well, these 2 sinks could not be more different. They are the same size and that is about all they have going for them. One sink is such a pale peach color it is almost white, and looks kind of like marble. The other sink is a dark, dark chestnut brown and is more "splotchy" in coloration but beautiful nonetheless. I don't think we are going to return, as we have "his and hers" vanities and so the sinks won't be right next to each other. We're using a marinace granite, which is very different and modern so we think the non-matching sinks will add a modern flair as well. For those of you who want perfectly matching sinks, you may not want to gamble on this.

Classic sink I ordered this sink to place on top of our expresso brown vanity and it had the effect that I wished for: it popped. I also replaced my faucet with a rubbed bronze one with a porcelain handle and this trio works great. The look is updated but still classic.

Do yourself a favor and buy different hardware The sink is beautiful. The hardware is crap. Thin metal that bends! Took over 8 hours and 2 trips to the hardware store to install. Probably spent an additional $** in parts.

Beautiful Sink Was looking for a bathroom basin for my log home. After on line shopping for three days and sticker shock, I stumbled across this one. More uniform than the natural stone free form ones that I had found, but has beautiful color variation and placed on a rustic reclaimed wood table looks totally custom. Copper faucets added to the look! Definitely a win-win purchase. Great size both in depth and width. I would highly recommend this basin/sink. Can't go wrong with Travertine.

Questions & Answers
Hi tonit69t, we were able to verify this information with our support team. For a sit above the counter top style the mounting ring sits between the vessel and the granite. For a sit below the counter top style the plastic mount(not included) can serve as a cushion, mounted around the inside of the counter top hole. We hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Recessed this basin about 1" to accommodate the faucet. The ring was used more like a rubber washer under the basin and above our wood counter top.
"Light travertine stone" and "travertine sink" are presented as options, and I must select one before adding to my cart. What's the difference?
Hello, the Travertine sink is the darker sink and the Light travertine is the 3rd picture of the lighter sink.
We have this sink; however, its drain does not appear to "pop up," or close in any way. The "umbrella" that covers the drain is polished chrome and is in rough shape. It looks as though the previous homeowners may have used an abrasive on it and removed some of the finish.) That just screws off -- can we purchase a replacement? We'd like it in oil-rubbed bronze, instead, too. :)
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Is any mounting hardware included? If not, what is the reference number for the hardware?
The mounting ring and pop-up drain are included with the bowl. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
What is the weight of the sink?
Unfortunately, we only have the shipping weight of this item which is 25 pounds.
In the item photos shown, of the 3 images, the one to the far right appears lighter. Is this the image for the option
The option is Travertine, and colors may vary based on the screen.
How thick is the stone?
The stone is 0.75 inches thick.
Does this sink have gold tones in it?
The travertine could have some gold tones to it. The image should be accurate according to the reviews.
What cleaning methods and products are suggested for this sink?
Travertine Sinks should only be cleaned with mild soap and warm water. Harsh abrasives and scrubbing pads should not be used as these products could scratch or dull the finish of your sink. Dropping a large heavy object in or on the sink could cause the sink to fracture or crack. Treat it like the fine piece of stone that it is. Periodically sealing the sink with stone sealer will preserve the natural finish of the stone.
What kind of pop up drain is included (i.e. brushed nickel, chrome, oil rubbed bronze, etc.)?
Pop up that is provided is Polished Chrome.

How to Install Vessel Sinks
Style and luxury can be added to any bathroom by installing a vessel sink. Two installations are popular: You can either rest the bathroom sink directly on the countertop or cut a hole in the countertop and lower the vessel down so that the sink bowl is partially recessed. Once you've installed the countertop and sink faucet, you'll be ready to install the vessel sink itself.
How to Install a Bathroom Sink
Replacing old bathroom sinks can give new life to your bathroom. Whether you're installing a new undermount sink, vessel sink, basin sink or a regular vanity sink, most of the steps will remain the same. If you're installing a pedestal bathroom sink, however, not all of these instructions will apply. All you need is a few tools, your new bathroom sink and a few detailed steps to replace that old sink and give your bathroom a whole new look.
Matching a Vessel Sink to Your Bathroom
Part of the challenge of remodeling is blending fixtures and hardware, such as a bathroom sink, with other elements of your room decor. Unique bath fixtures, such as vessel sinks, can introduce special challenges. A vessel sink is not meant to blend into the countertop as other bathroom sinks do. It's often a focal point for the room. Below are some tips on incorporating a bathroom vessel sink into your bath decor.
How to Buy the Right Drain for Your Bathroom Sink
A new bathroom sink can completely transform and update your bathroom.

FAQs about Bathroom Cabinets
Let's face it. For the most part, bathrooms are not designed with storage in mind. There usually isn't any more storage than what the shelves behind the sink mirror can hold.

Why You Need a Corner Cabinet
In a perfect world every bathroom would be luxurious and spacious and you'd have no need for a corner cabinet. However, chances are your bathroom isn't as big as you'd like it to be. Whether you're single, newly married or have a few kids you really need space, especially in the bathroom. The perfect answer can be found with a bathroom corner cabinet.

Thomas Gathu was born in Kenya at a time when children with intellectual disabilities were usually shunned, hidden – or worse. Yet his family saw that he had special gifts. When Thomas found Special Olympics, those gifts became talents.
His family tried to help him learn. But when he started his schooling, his life became a nightmare. Thomas was punished and insulted because he was slow to write and learn. He performed well below other children. Teachers did not want to try to teach him. Students made fun of him. His family also suffered from the mockery. The head of the school eventually recommended that his parents send him away, which was hard on everyone. But soon, he found Special Olympics and whole new paths to success opened up.
Thomas Gathu overcame problems as a child to grow up a well-loved coach and Special Olympics gold medalist.
Thomas Gathu could run – and ran fast. He'd never really tried to race before! He worked, trained and learned perseverance through Special Olympics. He gained confidence, as he perfected his new skills. Soon, other people saw what he could do – and how he could do some things even better than they could. Their prejudices about people with intellectual disabilities started to fall away. Thomas was proof of how many hidden talents people with disabilities can have. Through Special Olympics, Thomas learned discipline, gained physical strength and even began to build leadership skills. Now a grown man, Thomas has been able to work as a physical education teacher. He has served as a spokesman for people with intellectual disabilities, even addressing a gathering of 350,000 people in Paris. He has also become a beloved coach with Special Olympics Kenya, where the younger athletes see him as a true role model who understands what they are going through.
Today, he has a message to families of people with disabilities: "Do not hide your special children. They are part of us," he says. "Denying them play, exposure and association is violating their basic human rights." Thomas teaches his athletes to strive for excellence – get out of the blocks fast and finish strongly. That's because he believes most races are won off the start or with a strong finishing kick. And Thomas is out there, showing them what to do, running alongside his athletes to encourage them each step of the way. His athletes alternate days between running hills for strength and endurance and running short sprints to increase speed and explosiveness out of the blocks. He adds weight training into the regimen, especially for the sprinters so they can use their strength to get a good start in the race. Nutrition is another key factor, especially in Kenya, so that is something else that Thomas teaches. He encourages a high intake of milk for bone strength, and foods low in fat for energy.
Thomas gives much of the credit for his success to his mother, who never gave up on him, as well as his father. "My papa always told me that to do well, you have to work hard -- because challenges will always be there." But he also is appreciative of the new world that Special Olympics opened up for him, giving him hope when he had so little.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!
Stay in touch! See inspiring stories, photos and videos in our Special Olympics newsletter.
Today, the Templeton Foundation gave its most prestigious award to my hero, Jean Vanier. For Linda and our children and me, he has also been our retreat leader, our teacher of humility, our guide.

Longtime spiritual leader and Southern Ute Tribal Council member Edward Bent Box Sr., died Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2012, in Asheville, N.C. He was 92.
A member of the Moache-Capote Bands of the Ute Nation, Mr. Box was born April 1, 1920, the eighth of nine children born to Jacob and Bertha Bent Box, in Bayfield. He attended the Allen Day School and the Albuquerque Indian School through the 12th grade.
In 1941, he married Dorothy Burch in Aztec. After 33 years of marriage, she preceded him in death in 1974.
In 1942, during World War II, Mr. Box enlisted in the Navy. He served as a motor machinist's mate second class in the South Pacific during the Solomon Island Campaign. He was honorably discharged in 1946.
Mr. Box worked at La Plata Motors in Durango as a Ford mechanic after the war. He also was a disk jockey for KIUP (AM-930) and was the first radio announcer to broadcast in his native Ute language in the Four Corners.
His family said people also will remember him for playing saxophone in an all-Native American band known as "The Pine River Boys."
Mr. Box served 16 years on the Southern Ute Tribal Council. He also served on the Committee of Elders for the American Indian Science and Engineering Society.
One of his greatest passions of the last 60 years was traditional Indian flute-making. He loved to "make wood sing," his family said. Mr. Box was a member of the Indian Arts and Crafts Association, Southern Highland Craft Guild and the International Native American Flute Association.
Known as "Red Ute," his Native American name, he began to follow the traditional spiritual path of the Ute People in 1952 by entering the Sun Dance Lodge on the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation in Towaoc. He danced there annually for four years before being asked in 1956 to lead the Southern Ute Sun Dance by the late Sun Dance Chief and Tribal Elder Edwin Cloud in Ignacio. Mr. Box served the Ute People for 42 years in this capacity before choosing his successor, Neil Buck Cloud, in 1994. As Mr. Box was still living when Mr. Cloud retired, he appointed Kenneth Frost as his final successor in 2010.
Mr. Box also served as chief of the annual Bear Dance Ceremonial for the Southern Ute Indian Tribe for 38 years. Upon his retirement, he appointed the late Gerald Howe and Rudley Weaver as his successors in 1999.
In 1990, he married Diane Colbath in Durango. The couple moved to Asheville in 2000.
In addition to his first wife, Mr. Box also was preceded in death by his son James Lloyd Box Sr.; and grandson Jimmy Paul.
He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Diane C. Box of Asheville; son Edward Burch Box, also known as "Eddie Box Jr.," of Ignacio; adopted son Jeffrey James Creeden of Asheville; 10 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; four great-great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members.
According to his wishes, cremation took place at sunrise on the fourth day after his death. He once said, "I want to leave this world the same way I came into it – in a very humble way." His ashes will be scattered at a later date.
A memorial celebration of life will be held at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012, at the Sky Ute Casino and Resort Events Center.

When people think of heirloom-quality instruments, they think of Folkcraft. Here's why: Our instruments are handmade in the United States of America, not in a cheap overseas factory. Our instruments are crafted one at a time, not on an assembly line. Our instruments are made of solid woods, not out of plywood.
Folkcraft instruments are made with pride and tradition, using the same methods as our founders used in 1968. Folkcraft Instruments is a family business, with two generations of luthiers putting their skill and experience into every instrument they create.

As asset liability approach (ALM) to asset allocation
Click here to download now
Overview: All insurance and pension organizations share a common goal - to optimize the strategic asset allocation (SAA) of the fund to match the market risk profile of the liability it is backing. The reasoning behind constructing such an asset mix is to align the investment profile of the fund with the liability portfolio, thereby limiting the downside risk. Additionally, the SAA portfolio can provide guidance to portfolio managers on acceptable risk-tolerance levels.

Multifunction Calibrator Plus TC and RTD and Communications
Includes CA71, communication cable, data logging software, 120V power supply, instrument case with magnetic backing, and NIST traceable certificate
Multifunction Calibrator. Sources And reads mA, T/C, RTD, V, mV and Frequency with built in continuity checker. Includes rubber boot, leads, hands free carrying case and FREE NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration.
Fluke Connect ProcessMeter/Temp Measure
Multifunction Calibrators include two or more of the following: temperature, pressure, frequency, signal, HART capability. Save money as well as space in the toolbox by purchasing one instrument with multiple functions. Functions of temperature, pressure, and voltage/mA signals are discussed at length here Products > Process / Calibration Following is a discussion on HART Communications What is a HART Communicator vs. HART Multifunction Calibrator? And what is HART anyway? HART is a digital communications signal riding on top of a 4-20 mA signal, short for Highway Addressable Remote Transmitter. It was developed by Emerson Process/Rosemount and later made public, so now all major instrument manufacturers support the standard. You may see other protocols such as Fieldbus (more popular in Europe), CANBUS (popular in automotive and production line manufacturing), BRAIN (proprietary to Yokogawa), but HART is the king in process instrumentation. Smart pressure transmitters, temperature transmitters, flowmeters, and other instruments with HART capability give access to anyone with a HART communicator to basic to advanced configuration parameters. Setting up ranges, units of measure, tag labels, input filter/dampening, square root extraction of differential flow measurement devices like orifice plates are all possible remotely from anywhere on the 4-20 mA loop. Hazardous area transmitters become much less expensive because keypads or alternate interfaces suitable for use in explosive atmospheres are not needed. A HART Communicator is used to communicate with the transmitter. Emerson still makes them, model 475, which we carry at TEquipment. We also carry Meriam's MFC HART Communicator. A HART Communicator is not a calibrator. Re-ranging the URV and LRV (upper and lower range values) of a transmitter is not calibrating. A HART Multifunction Calibrator has the capabilities of a HART Communicator and a multifunction calibrator may also store the measuring instrument configuration files. FAQ: Can I get a NIST certificate for my HART Communicator? Answer: No, but you can get one for a HART Multifunction Calibrator. A HART Communicator is an instrument configuration tool like a universal TV remote can be configured to operate your TV. Stored in memory are device specific drivers so it can communicate with over a thousand registered instruments. HART protocol has a standard set of menus, so basic tasks can be performed and thousands of instruments use them. If you need to drill deep into a very specific capability of your instrument, then you will need its device driver (DD). The HART Communication Foundation now maintains this list and any HART Communicator or Multifunction Calibrator manufacturer will install the latest set when you purchase. These do not change frequently, but it is always a good idea to get the option for 3 years of no charge upgrades for the Emerson 475 HART Communicator. Hart Multifunction Calibrators from Fluke as of this writing are no charge downloads to update the device firmware. Martel Electronics makes a HART Multifunction Calibrator too, but it has loaded only the basic/universal HART commands so upgrades are not needed. Meriam's MFC HART Communicator and HART Multifunction Calibrator as of this writing include at least 3 years of upgrades at no charge. If you will be using more than just the basic commands, then regardless of model, do check the supported devices list before purchase.

Procaster Closes on <GO LIVE> and setup
I have recently began to use Livestream again after about a year's hiatus because of military deployment. I have previously used Webcast and Studio but decided to try Procaster in order to make local backup, since I have continuous failures recording at Livestream.
We are running a Windows XP/SP3 system with a quad-core i5 and 12G memory. When I tried to use Procaster from an earlier installation, it would close if I clicked on <Preferences> on the main screen. It would open <Preferences> if I clicked on the <*> at the top left. However, while it showed my video source selections, clicking on any of them except a third-party webcam interface would cause Procaster to close, also. None of these issues occurred when I tinkered with it a year ago. So I uninstalled Procaster and downloaded and installed the latest version. Same results, only worse: now Procaster would not even allow me to use the webcam interface, and closes when I choose *any* of the the three video sources (webcam, capture device, vMix). Am I missing something obvious (or not-so-obvious)? Any suggestions? Webcast and Studio have been working O.K. ... well, as much as they ever work O.K. Aboonah |
Welcome back. What type of capture device are you using and what is your VMix device? There is a strong possibility these devices are not supported, have you tried unplugging everything except your webcam and opening Procaster after that?
Ernie Livestream Support |
Procaster Closes on <GO LIVE> and setup
We use a USB capture device and vMix would best be described as a commercial version of Procaster...it's a software-based video/audio mixer: a been-around for a few years and updated regularly product like the new Livestream Production Switcher software I received a sales-pitch for today. Both the USB device and vMix worked with Procaster when I used it previously. I have not tried using a web-cam by itself because we don't even own one! The webcam I mentioned in my original message is a software web-cam interface that provides special effects. If it's worth noting, all three of those work fine with Webcast and Studio.
We want to use Procaster to get local recording since we can't be consistent results saving on the Livestream end, and we want to have mobile-viewing capability. LATER EDIT: Since writing the above, I have installed Procaster on my Win7 machine in my office, along with vMix, and an USB capture device. Procaster complains that Adobe Flash is needed for Chat (which is irrelevant to our needs) but it otherwise works: it streams video from both the USB capture device and from vMix (fed video from the USB device). Procaster shows CPU at no higher than 44%. BUT: Procaster will crash - in its message: <Procaster has stopped working> - after a while...times vary. Aboonah Last edited by aboonah; 12th February 2013 at 19:20. |
I'd suggest opening a support ticket so we can get your Procaster logs and see exactly what's causing the crash. Please include all relevant details regarding the issue and the exact specifications of your encoding machine.

A local graduate of Gaithersburg's L'Academie de Cuisine is bringing some spice to the world of handmade chocolates.
Gaithersburg resident Phyllis Farzan said she started out at L'Academie with intricately-designed cakes and towering pastries, but they weren't her favorite type of food.
"I always gravitated toward the chocolate," she said.
Last year, Farzan started a home business called Papillon Chocolate Studio. She experiments with flavors like honey, cinnamon, passion fruit and marzipan and chocolates from France, Belgium, Switzerland and the U.S.
A few months ago, she started selling the small, truffle-sized chocolates on Saturdays at Montgomery Village's farmers market. She said she brings about 15 different varieties of her chocolates to sell there.
A variety that combines apricot, walnut and dark chocolate has been a "very popular" one at the market, Farzan said. A truffle she calls "Double Shot," which has a coffee flavor and a single coffee bean on top, is also a crowd favorite.
"I want them to taste good, but I want them to be beautiful as well," she said.
One of her truffles has small pink flower petals drawn on top with a green stem. That variety, called "Taite's Charm," is named after a 7-year-old Montgomery Village resident.
Tammy MacLaren, Taite's mother, said her children spotted Farzan's chocolates at the market. After one of them struck up a conversation with Farzan, they were fast friends.
"They fell in love with the chocolate lady," MacLaren said. Taite likes coffee and mint, Farzan said, so she tried to craft a truffle that included those flavors. The end product included hazelnut, dark chocolate, mint and espresso.
Taite's brother, 9-year-old Griffen, also got his own chocolate. Farzan created "Griffen's Grand Caramel" with cinnamon, espresso and dark chocolate.
Her four children are loyal customers, MacLaren said. When the market was open on Saturdays, they would start talking about it on Thursdays.
One of her children "once weeded the backyard to earn enough to buy Phyllis' chocolates," MacLaren said.
Farzan said her holiday-themed varieties will include combinations of cloves and figs with chocolate. She said mixing flavors and trying new things are what she enjoys about her business.
"It's just something that I've really loved doing," she said.
To learn about additional venues to purchase Farzan's chocolates, contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

When demons walk the streets, the cops need to recruit more demons!
In a town where humans and demons co-exist, it takes more than a normal police force to maintain the peace. Enter the Hiizumi Life Counseling Office, a fantastic foursome of unique teenagers, each gifted with an amazing super power! Since it sometimes takes real demon-fire to fight demon fire, the first three quarters of the team aren't exactly human: Ao, a cat-eared telepath; Kotoha, a half-human conjuror; and Hime, descended from a dragon (and the town's acting mayor), all of whom also happen to be delightfully female.
Rounding out the group is the token male and human, Akina, the office director and "Oyakume," capable of banishing spirits permanently (and from their point of view quite fatally) via a process called tuning. They may not look as impressive as some other superhero teams, and they certainly don't have the most dynamic name ever, but come hell hounds or high water, but they will defend their city!
Contains episodes 1-12.
Special Features: Clean Closing and Opening Animation.

Disneyland Park
Kids, Tweens, Adults, All Ages
Explore winding passageways where the tale of Princess Aurora and the evil Maleficent is told through spellbinding dioramas. Inspired by the original Eyvind Earle artwork used in the film, the classic attraction's fantastic 3-dimensional displays feature interactive moments and stunning special effects. Don't miss the climactic scene featuring Maleficent's transformation into a fire-breathing dragon!
If you're unable to—or you'd prefer not to—take the stairs, you can experience a high-definition video version of the attraction on the ground floor. Please contact a Cast Member if you are interested in this version of the attraction.
The attraction is located inside Sleeping Beauty Castle, which opened on July 17, 1955 with Disneyland Park. The castle's design was based on the real Bavarian castle, Neuschwanstein. Guests could not actually walk through the castle's interior until 1957. The famed drawbridge has only been lowered twice—once at the opening of the park in 1955 and again in 1983 at the rededication of Fantasyland.
Get ready to be dazzled as Sleeping Beauty Castle magically transforms—glistening and gleaming with sparkling Diamond Celebration enhancements!

Sorry for the delay in the report guys, been hectic around here. Anyway, the Feb SubComEast outing had a decent turnout. A couple of folks missing, a couple new people attending, and the usual good time was had by all.
Jeff had his beautiful Seehund along, which ran to perfection. I'm jealous!
Curtis had a small issue with his small Alfa, hopefully he'll get it resolved soon. Here he and Jeff are examining the inner details....
Don once again had his small, speedy skimmer craft along. He steadfastly refused to "pull the plug" and take it deep
Garry had his Engle fleetboat along, with the mechanicals recently arriving back from Germany. Hopefully soon we'll be treated to the sight of it's maiden voyage. Garry's working intently on it, and it should be stunning when done!
A few of the Task Force 50 guys dropped in, but no one with operable boats this time.
I had my Holland and Batfish along, they're both such nice travelling companions. Here's a decent shot of Batfish.
And of course, the group shot. New Guy Ron to the left, talking to Don. Curtis, Jeff, and Garry seated, doing the group driving thing with Jeff's Seehund. Off to the right, Jim is giving sub driving lessons to the son of his co=worker who stopped by.
And so goes another chapter in the life of SubComEast. If you missed it, you missed a good time!
See you next month!

Tillman, Stras square off in Battle of Beltways
Showalter to match wits with Williams, who played for him in Arizona
In the three years that Buck Showalter served as Matt Williams' manager with the D-backs from 1998-2000, he saw the player's understanding of the game. It's no surprise for Showalter that Williams is in his first season as manager of the Nationals.
"He was a student," said Showalter, now the Orioles' manager. "The way he played the game, he was a good teammate. It doesn't surprise me at all."
Mentor and student will face off for the first time as managers in opposite dugouts on Monday when Baltimore opens a four-game, home-and-home series at Nationals Park in Washington.
In the opener, Williams will send his team to the diamond with Stephen Strasburg on the mound. Despite some inconsistency, Strasburg has still been one of the best starting pitchers in baseball. In his last start, the right-hander allowed just one run on five hits with eight strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings.
"I was able to command the fastball a little bit better," said Strasburg, who is 7-6 with a 3.53 ERA this season. "They were fouling them off. I wouldn't say they were great pitches. I was able to execute the pitch a little bit better. I had them put it in play and make weak contact."
The O's will counter with Chris Tillman, who was their Opening Day starter. Tillman (7-4) has posted a 4.21 ERA this season, but the Nats will provide a challenge. Washington has scored four or more runs in four of its six games since Bryce Harper returned and brought the Nats back to full strength.
It will be exciting for Showalter to go against his former player -- especially since it's just for one series.
"Be happy for him after we get done," Showalter said. "I'd hate to have to play them much more than the four games we have it."
Nationals: Harper still searching for his groove
For the second straight day on Sunday, Harper found himself battings sixth in the order. The outfielder has yet to find a rhythm since returning from the disabled list, and his struggles continued on Sunday.
Harper went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts to drop his average to .190 since being activated on Monday. He has collected just four hits during that time and only one has gone for extra bases.
"I think it's going to take a little time to get back into it," Harper said. "I'm trying to have good at-bats and not chase bad pitches. I'm trying to get in a groove again and trying to get going. With two months off, it's kind of tough trying to get back and do things."
Orioles: Despite strong start, Gausman's future up in air again
Kevin Gausman gave Baltimore 5 1/3 strong innings again on Sunday, but with Bud Norris scheduled to return from the DL on Tuesday to start against Washington, the rookie could head back to the Minors.
Norris' return will give the O's a six-man rotation, so the club could opt to send Gausman down to add some bullpen depth and recall Gausman after the All-Star break.
"We could send somebody out, like we did just about every other year to make sure we've got some depth in our bullpen and really not lose anything and still be able to get back before the 10 days are up post All-Star break," Showalter said. "We could, not saying we're going to. We'll see how the next few days go."
Worth noting
• Baltimore has only faced Strasburg once. The righty allowed three runs (one earned) in five innings of a win on May 20, 2012, and hit a home run.
• The O's lead the Nats, 26-20, in the eight-year history of the Beltway Series.

Pet supplies retailer Zooplus grows web sales 35.5% in Q1
Total sales in 2015 are expected to reach $811 million.
"Affluencers" are affluent consumers who influence others like them.
You know that certain customers are more valuable to your bottom line than others. But do you know who your most important customer segment is?
The Affluent Influencer, or "Affluencer," is a key demographic for online retail brands. This group combines affluence (household income of $100K+) with influence (the ability to affect the purchase decisions of others) and has great potential to increase awareness of and affinity for your brand.
In our recent whitepaper, Affluent Influencers – How Marketers Can Understand Their Generational Differences and Tap Into Their Authority, we took an in-depth look at this pivotal audience segment. For online retailers, getting Affluencers to talk about your brand is all about driving engagement through relevance by:
Adding relevant variety to your ad creative
Our research looked at Affluencer values, preferences, and behaviors across three generations: Millennials, GenXers, and Boomers. Though they share many commonalities, each generation also has unique needs. For example:
Testing is critical to ensure that you are putting the right message and creative into the market. Vary headlines, images, media types, messages, and more, adapting presentation for different devices. Running the same creative month after month creates a virtual blind spot—change things up frequently. Consider rich media units to boost interest and prolong engagement.
Also, focus on creating well-integrated campaigns. Tying traditional and digital media together—such as using print to drive traffic to a web site or landing page—creates the kind of immersive and convenient experience Affluencers expect.
Increasing the breadth and depth of your content
Those who give advice must also consume advice. Affluencers are respected "experts" because they are well informed. Buying guides, Q&A pages, advice columns, and other informational content represent an important content marketing opportunity to feed the Affluencers' desire for knowledge and know-how.
Creating a valuable "resource library" of content that helps educate, inform, and entertain your customers facilitates the research and conversion process and improves the customer experience and your customer relations. Mr. Porter and Zappos are just two examples of brands that have embraced this approach with great success.
Remember, the Internet expands Affluencers' reach exponentially with just one click. Make sure it's easy for them to engage with and share your content.
Ensuring multi-device support
Mobile is a huge opportunity for forward-thinking online retailers to outsmart the competition.
Though mobile device shopping is clearly here to stay, not all marketers are doing it and not all those who are engaged know how to do it well. It's more than just responsive design. It's about creating a smart mobile experience with relevant features that align with the preferences and needs of Affluencers. Make it easier for the mobile shopper to research product by delivering accessible local store inventories and detailed product descriptions. Keep in mind readability requirements on a smaller screen by including large images.
Using data strategically
Increase your marketing relevance by using research findings and your own data to create highly targeted customer profiles. For example, our research found:
Put your data to work before the sale by segmenting your online advertising not just by demographics, but also by location, behavior, interests, and other relevant information.
Affluent Influencers are customers with better-than-average benefits.
Not only do Affluencers buy your products, they also convince others to buy your products. Make sure that your marketing is designed to reach this critical audience through targeted relevance, and watch your business boom.

Here they come; inmate transfer begins
Ready or not … here they come.
On Saturday, Oct. 1, the criminal justice system in California began one of the most drastic and controversial overhauls in recent history.
As a result of Assembly Bill 109, many felons deemed "nonviolent" will be serving their prison sentences in county jails instead of state prisons.
For cash-strapped rural counties like Plumas, the added burden could be staggering.
Over the past several months, the county has been trying to scrape together enough money and additional manpower to deal with the expected influx of prisoners and parolees.
The sheriff predicts the jail will fill up quickly.
The chief probation officer is scrambling to hire extra staff.
The understaffed district attorneys office could face the awkward position of having to decide which criminals should go to jail.
The county's health care system could end up taking care of more inmates with mental health and substance abuse problems.
"The criminal justice system as we know it is undergoing some of the most significant and radical changes in our lifetimes," District Attorney David Hollister said.
Hollister and Sheriff Greg Hagwood have been canvassing the county in a series of townhall meetings to inform residents of the changes, and ask for their help at the same time.
Hollister conducted the most recent townhall meeting Wednesday, Sept. 28, in Quincy.
Hollister and Hagwood are also members of the Plumas County Community Corrections Partnership Executive Committee, tasked with forming a plan to deal with the inmate surge.
The executive committee includes Superior Court Judge Ira Kaufman, Public Defender Doug Prouty, Alcohol and Drug Programs Administrator Mimi Hall and Chief Probation Officer Sharon Reinert, who chairs the committee.
The committee has been working on an action plan that will go to the Board of Supervisors Oct. 18.
To help cushion the financial blow, the supervisors have pledged to transfer $1 million from the county's Mental Health fund reserves for inmate-related mental health costs.
That's because the state is giving Plumas County just over $200,000 to pay for the inmate realignment. Many county leaders agree the eventual costs will be much higher.
The implications for Plumas County may not be fully realized for years.
Following are some highlights and statistics from the implementation plan compiled by the Community Corrections Partnership Executive Committee:
History of AB 109
Between 1973 and 2009 the nation's prison population grew by 705 percent.
In California, the state prisons were operating at more than 170 percent of capacity. And with a recidivism rate of 70 percent, the prisons were bursting at the seams.
In 2009, a panel of three federal judges ordered California to reduce its prison population to 110,000 from 156,000. The official state prison capacity is 80,000.
In May, the Supreme Court upheld the federal ruling. The court ruled for the state to reduce its prison population to 137.5 percent of capacity by May 24, 2013.
The result was AB 109.
Elements of AB 109
Redefining felonies: The definition is revised to include certain crimes that are punishable by 16 months, two years or three years in jail. Serious, violent and sex offenses will continue to be served in state prisons. However, some offenders will be put on probation rather than parole supervision after being released from prison.
Local post-release community supervision: Many felons released from state prisons beginning Oct. 1 will be subject to community supervision by an agency approved by the Board of Supervisors. The county's understaffed probation department is expected to fill that role.
Revocations heard and served locally: People who violate probation or parole will serve time in the county jail (up to 180 days).
Changes to custody credits: Inmates will now be able to earn four days of credit for every two days served. Time spent in home detention is credited as time spent in jail. As a result, inmates could serve just half their sentence in actual custody.
Alternative custody: Eligible inmates will be placed on electronic monitoring instead of spending time in jail in lieu of bail.
Target population: Inmates released from state prison to community supervision will be the responsibility of the county probation department. These felons can have serious or violent offenses in their criminal history.
Community based sanctions: The county is authorized to use a range of community-based punishment and intermediate sanctions other than jail time alone or traditional routine probation supervision. The offenders might be picking up trash or pulling weeds.
County jail could overflow
The Plumas County Jail has 67 beds to house inmates.
However, the facility is outdated and has safety and housing issues for its staff.
The 67-bed capacity can shrink substantially depending on the fluctuations of male and female population. Problem inmates can make the jail's capacity even smaller.
And according to information from the district attorney's office, 34 defendants were sentenced to state prison in fiscal 2010-11.
Had AB 109 been in place, 24 of those people would have remained in the county jail. Of those 24 inmates, the average sentence was 24.33 months.
During the same time period, 455 defendants were sentenced to the county jail as a term of probation. Their average length of stay was 39 days.
The jail also houses inmates being held for probation violations, parole revocations, warrants, immigration holds and other offenses.
The state has estimated Plumas County will assume responsibility for approximately 69 additional offenders by June 30, 2013.
Many local criminal justice officials believe that number will be much greater.
