You have a great idea here Archangel. It would be great to have such a list at my fingertips. I have to agree with CaptainForce though because I think almost any boat on the market can qualify as a potential liveaboard. I've been researching various boats that will work well as both a liveaboard and cruising platform that will work well for me. Almost invariably the advice I get from those who have lived aboard for many years has been to define the geographical area of use and create a list of "must have's" as well as a budget. Be practical and realistic. Then look for boats that fit that bill. Get actual experience, talk to others with similar cruising goals and find out what works and what don't.
As I have went through this process I have found that choosing the right boat for me is a very personal thing. I have seen lists of boats that have been catagorized by their intended design use, by their capabilities as offshore boats, and even lists that place each boat manufacturer into a catagory based on their general cost and they don't consider age, condition, or location. But never a list as you propose.
A list I would REALLY like to see is one catagorized by intended use, with sub-headings for general geographical location. Under each catagory would be a list of desired features for each type of use, ie. liveaboard, coastal, offshore, extended voyaging. Frankly, since I intend on going offshore, the hardest part of my research has been to try to figure out what boat features, equipment, and capabilities qualify a boat to achieve this. Then, keeping in mind I will also be living aboard when not cruising, I need to figure out the best boat features for that catagory, then search for boats that will be safe and comfortable for both worlds and that will also please my eye.
There are so many variables and cost has become a much smaller piece of the puzzle than I originally thought. I will be watching your thread though, in hopes that it will grow into the useful tool you want it to be. I wish I could contribute but I don't feel I have the practical experience to do so.
Best of luck.

Allenton firefighters test new tool
UPDATED 9:41 PM CDT May 18, 2014Firefighters say ''dry sprinkler' could help reduce fire damage
Video TranscriptSHANGHAI. FIREFIGHTERS IN ALLENTON ARE TESTING A NEW TOOL THAT COULD HELP THEM FIGHT FIRES MORE QUICKLY AND CAUSE LESS DAMAGE. DURING A TRAINING FIRE, THE DEPARTMENT USED A DRY SPRINKLER POWDER AEROSOL OR D-S-P-A TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE DEVICE HAS TO BE DEPLOYED AND THROWN INTO THE FIRE. FIREFIGHTERS SAY IN LESS THAN 8 SECONDS, THE POWDER REDUCED THE HEAT FROM 800 DEGREES TO 200 DEGREES.

Need advice on skilling and builds

Need advice on skilling and builds
So, I am currently working through the Dilithium Exchange and Earning Zen thing for a Retraining Token and curious as to what to do with my build for when I hit RA (expecting to have the Zen by then for the token) to best take advantage of the four ships I will be fielding at the time with the future ships I intend to get. So I will put out what is needed and hoping to get some help in figuring out what skills and to what as well as if my BOffs need retraining in (some do as they are redundant). Now some of the retraining of my BOffs I can do on my own. Loadouts on the ships are still being looked into and planned out so any advice you can give would be appreciated.
Me: Engineer Captain
Idea: Jack of all Trades Healer/Buffer/Hitter/Tank mainly solo but once I get a better PC (playing on a Toshiba NN550 right now) I would like to join on STFs and what not. I also want to be able to switch between the ships.
Ship 1: Assault Cruiser
Ship 2: Long Range Science Vessel
Ship 3: Support Cruiser Refit
Ship 4: Mirror Universe Advanced Escort
Planned Future Ships:
Long Range Science Refit (With both special consoles)
MMSV Rademacher (with all three universal consoles)
I plan on buying all three around my Birthday and Xmas as I was born in December.
Builds of the ships: Weapon loadouts are being worked on still but I know I want Combat Impulse Engines with Turn Rate increases and Positron or Graviton Deflectors and Regen or Covariant Shields. Consoles though will vary between the ships. Cruisers will be more defense oriented with armor and shield boosting consoles as well as Emergency Forcefields, SIF Consoles, and Bio Consoles. RCS Console will be on the Support Cruiser to boost it's turn rate. I am also looking into EPS Consoles.
Prefered Kits: Demo, Turrets, Generators, Drones
MY BOffs (By Area)
Andorian Female Commander> TT1 / FAW2 / APB2 / AP02 (Plan on replacing)
Human Female Commander> TorpSpread1 / APD1(Plan on replacing) / APD2 / APO3
Betazoid Female Commander> THY1 / APB1 (Plan on replacing) / APD2 (Same as before) / DPB3 (Not using Mines)
Saurian Female Lieutenant> TT1 / CSS1 / CRS1 / DPB3 (No mines so replacing it)
Vulcan Female Commander> ET1 / RevSP1 / EWP1(Plan on Replacing) / Aceton Beam3
Borg Female Commander> EPtA1 / APtS1 / APtEB2 / Aceton Beam3 (Needs Replacing)
Rigelian Female Commander> EPtW1 / EPtS2 / DEM2 / BP3
Trill Female Commander> ST1 / TSS2 / PSW1 / GW2
Bajoran Female Commander> TraB1 / HE2 / SS2 / VM2
Klingon Female Commander> TracB1 / TykR1 / TracBR1 / VM2 (Plan on replacing)

But blocks can be so boring. The standard block eraser has evolved into other interesting shapes in Japan. The Kokuyo Kadokeshi 28-Corner Erasers was the winner of the 2002 Kokuyo Design Award. A normal eraser has eight corners, but this eraser from Japan has 28! It allows a user to never be without an eraser corner again!
In recent years we have also seen an outcrop of "precision" erasers, or erasers that are finely shaped to erase tiny areas. The Tombow Mono Zero is a great example of a precision eraser. It has an amazing 2.3 mm diameter and is also available in a 2.5 mm x 5 mm rectangular shape.
Perhaps the most beloved of plastic eraser inventions is the Japanese novelty eraser. The eraser manufacturing technique has been perfected such that these adorable erasers are beautifully detailed, yet work just as well as any normal eraser. The Iwako Sushi Novelty Erasers at JetPens are just one example.
See all the eraser and correction products available at JetPens here. Find one that's right for you!

Hastings (D-FL) announced today they will host a hearing: "NO WAY HOME, NO WAY TO ESCAPE: THE PLIGHT OF IRAQI REFUGEES AND OUR IRAQI ALLIES" Thursday, July 22, 2010 2:30 p.m. The Kennedy Caucus Room, 385 Russell Senate Office Building The hearing will focus on the plight of the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi refugees who continue to languish in Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) partner State, Jordan, and in Syria and other countries in the region. The Commission will review U.S. Government efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to Iraqi refugees and assess the impact of this massive population displacement on the stability of, and U.S. interests in, the region. The situation of our Iraqi allies, particularly those who have risked their lives to work for the United States in Iraq and who are now considered "collaborators" or "traitors" and are marked for assassination by terrorist groups, is more precarious than ever as the planned withdrawal of U.S. forces accelerates. This hearing will assess our government's strategy to assist U.S.-affiliated Iraqis who are subsequently being placed at risk. Witnesses scheduled to testify: • The Honorable Eric P. Schwartz, Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration • Ambassador L. Craig Johnstone, President, Refugees International, ad interim • Mr. Kirk Johnson, Founder and Executive Director, The List Project to Resettle Iraqi Allies • Michael A.

Laura Boggs, "rogue" Jeffco school board member, mum amid teachers-union complaints: "Boggs Watch" newsletter to continue
The tales of Jefferson County School Board Member Laura Boggs' "disruptive behavior" around town, including an instance where she reportedly called school "stupid," rallied a good crowd for Thursday night's school board meeting.
There, the teachers-union group that publishes "Boggs Watch," an e-mail newsletter chronicling the official's alleged shenanigans, received a standing ovation from attendees for their prodding of the district board.
As Kerrie Dallman, president of the Jefferson County Education Association, puts it: "Oh, it was great."
She adds, "There was a good turnout of community members and teachers and students. And the board, I think, embraced their leadership role."
Citing protocol that defers public comment to the board president, Boggs didn't say much last night, Dallman says, and she hasn't yet returned phone calls from Westword. We'll update this blog if and when she provides comment. Dave Thomas, president of the Jeffco Board of Education, has also not returned calls left at his office.
The most recent issue of "Boggs Watch" details several incidents of alleged impropriety. Most prominent was a teacher's complaint that, on March 4, Boggs took over his classroom during a lesson on acronyms to write vertically on the board an acronym of her own: S-C-H-O-O-L. Witnesses says she declared that "S" is for "stupid."
Earlier this week, Boggs denied doing anything wrong, saying that she didn't call school stupid. She also stressed that she didn't crash a private teacher's union bargaining meeting in February, as "Boggs Watch" had said. According to Boggs, she accidentally stumbled upon the meeting at Wheat Ridge High School as she was dropping off enrollment paperwork for her son.
But Dallman says that isn't the case. "That's so bizarre because, you know, the library is so far and beyond the office where one would drop off papers," Dallman maintains. "The fact that she told you that she was just there to drop off papers, or that God must have written stupid on the board -- it really leads me to question her integrity and her ability to lead this district."
Dallman formally addressed the board Thursday on behalf of the teacher's union, urging that the board revisit its norms for board-member behavior and address the incidents involving Boggs.
"It's my expectation that they (the board) establish our call for board norms for board members interacting with schools and students," she says. "We addressed our concerns professionally, and it is our expectation that the board will address those concerns."
But what of the entertaining hit "Boggs Watch?" There's no issue next week because schools will be out for spring break. But Dallman admits, "We'll probably have some more issues."

Is it Okay to Date a Non-Catholic?
Before I met my husband Brian, I dated guys all over the faith-spectrum – from Catholic gone atheist, to non-practicing Protestant, to Catholic-ish, to Evangelical, and some in between. During this time I realized how much faith affects our life, from the little things (the sign of the cross before meals) to the big things (sex before marriage).

Linda Meyer: Fox provides news others won't touch
I've noticed quite a few people hate Fox News. I'm sure it's mostly Democrats. I was a Democrat until King Obama was elected. Now I'm an independent. I vote for whoever I think is qualified. But I digress; back to Fox News.
They tell you information that the local channels don't even touch. I was watching the Kelly File and found out that our government pays top Muslim leaders hundreds of thousands of dollars in farm subsidies. The funny part is they don't have any farms. How do they do that? Can I tell the government that I own a farm? No, I'm just one of the little people that pays for their subsidies. What is that old saying, "The government of the people ..." Yeah, right.

COLUMBIA — Chris Belcher, superintendent of Columbia Public Schools, announced Wednesday he will retire at the end of the 2013-14 school year to accept a position with MU's College of Education as an assistant teaching professor of leadership and policy.
On Monday, he talked about his time at the School District, his accomplishments there and his thoughts regarding the future of education in Columbia.
The following are excerpts from that interview.
As far as your accomplishments here at Columbia Schools, which ones are you most proud of?
You know, I think if you had to pin it down, I think we've really reconnected with the community, and I think we have public support and good public dialogue about our programs. And that's what I felt was lacking when I came here. Now that doesn't mean everything is going super great, but I think it means that people see that we're open, that we have discussions, that we really focus on serving the parents and the students and the community.
It's about going to functions and listening to the needs, about trying to solve complex problems that may not make everyone happy. We're taking them on, and we're having public forums for that. I feel like that's sort of been the hallmark that you'll hear people say here — that we've really engaged with the community, the parents and the students.
When you first came to Columbia, you identified the achievement gap as the biggest problem the district had to solve. Has it improved?
No. I think that's a disappointment, but Columbia is just a mirror of the national problem.
We have started a lot of initiatives that may be a year or two away from producing some benefit. We spent a lot of time reorganizing the entire secondary structure. We had to build a building. We had to redesign our middle school model. We had to reorganize staff, change boundaries, bus times and start times. But ... because of the change, we now have six middle schools that are smaller learning environments. They have a much more personal feel. Part of the achievement gap is relations with students — that we know how to guide them and gear them toward higher student achievement.
I think that's going to pay huge benefits, and we're already seeing lower discipline issues and a better organized environment for learning.
Do you think the federal or state government can do anything to improve education?
We as a state have, I think, often abdicated our responsibility for public education. I've been here five years. There's been a decreasing state fund base every year I've been here. As a state, we're in the bottom 10 percent of states in state support for public education, which simply means local has to pick up more of that support. So you get a much broader range of resources in the schools. So what you tend to find is the more wealthier areas — where people can pay more taxes — support schools, the others don't, and you get disparities.
I think that's inexcusable. I think we have to say, "It doesn't matter where you're born in the state of Missouri. You should get access to a high quality education."
We've put no money behind teacher training and preparation. We've talked about it for 30 years.
If you really want to change the system, you have to do what Finland does, which is invest in the resource of developing teachers. Make it a job with prestige and good compensation, and then you have to build it from the base up.
How do you see your new opportunity at MU as a way to help improve education?
I've had a lot of opportunities, and I've taken them. Sometimes it was stressful. I've had experiences in rural schools and suburban schools. I've worked with personnel and curriculum development. I've worked with classroom management. I've had this really broad set of experiences, and that's why I think my last five years have been the most successful.
I was in a place that needed someone to have that broad overview to get things done.
The idea of starting my second career in preparing school leaders is very exciting. I will take what I have learned and what I have been exposed to to new, young leaders. I know how stressful that is. We talked about the resource issues in Missouri, and training our leaders is really important — to have them go out to be the champions for the kinds of things we're talking about. It has to be broader than one or two voices in the state; we have to start organizing as an educational body.
Supervising editor is John Schneller.

ask your guest about these tax reform ideas
1. Tax private equity and hedge fund managers and their income at the highest possible rate; raise the highest rate.
2. Social Security: do not pay out to people earning over $500,000/yr after retirement.
(Perhaps let them consider their payments tax deductable contributions to help the entire country.)
3. Lower the payroll taxes on 95% of workers. To pay for this realignment of funds, raise the payroll tax on workers earning over, say $250,000. For the past 8 years the rich have been given tax breaks and regulatory breaks that allowed them to amass millions. Now it's time for the middle class, whose increased productivity has not been rewarded, to get some breaks.
4. Income tax: increase tax exponentially and on a sliding scale for people earning over $500,000 and raise the rates so that rates go up commensurate with total income. Include stock options and benefits when calculating the total income.

PLEASE!!!!!??? Our nation needs his leadership in this vital area which is at a critical juncture.
Hillary Clinton is a hawk and should not be Sec/State.
She should stay in the Senate and work on universal health care. Bill Richardson should be Sec/State. He
is a fair negociator and could work with all sides on a question. He is not an ideologue. He has proven his capabilities as a diplomat and conciliator.
If you're following the cabinet selection process, check out http://www.fantasycabinet.us
It allows you to browse departments and nominate then appoint people to your own fantasy cabinet.
As appointees are officially selected and more and more people create cabinets, your choices will be factored into a scoring system. The prize: fame and fortune.
New Sec. of Tech - Dr. Langdon Winner, professor of Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
He's a PhD in political science who teaches engineers about how to make technology based on desired social impact and how social forces affect technical decisions. He was my professor for multiple classes in college, and I can think of nobody more qualified for such a post.

Transportation Sec.
Earl Blumenauer Member of Congress from Portland Oregon. Head of the House Bike Caucus.
Was instrumental in getting a light rail extension in downtown Portland while the Feds(current administration) just wanted to pay for BRT.
For State: Susan Rice, Obama's foreign policy adviser - because after four years of the werong Dr. Rice, it's time to bring in the right one!
For Treasury: any economic reporter or guru (Jane Bryant Quinn, Suze Orman) instead of the tired old bankers who don't know what they're doing.
Attorney General: Laurence Tribe of Harvard.
Labor: Andrew Stern of SEIU.
HUD: Ron Kirk, former mayor of Dallas - or Michael White, former mayor of Cleveland.
Transportation: Thomas Downs, because we need Amtrak up and running with bullet trains.
Homeland Security: Joe Lieberman.
I don't think Obama should nominate members of the Senate or the House of of Representatives unless there is absolutely no one else as good or better. He's going to need all the intelligent, capabile Congressional support he can get.
Richard Holbrooke - Secretary of State
Laurence Tribe - Supreme Court
Education - Jeffrey Canada
Transportation - Janette Sadik-Khan. In fact, I can't think of another candidate with such a fresh and smart view of transportation.
Defense - Colin Powell, but definitely not for State.
For Secretary of the Treasury: Brooksley Born, head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the federal agency that regulates options and futures trading). She "was the oracle whose warnings about the dangerous
boom in derivatives trading just might have averted the calamitous bust now engulfing the US and global markets. Instead she was
met with scorn, condescension and outright anger by former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan, former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and his deputy Lawrence Summers."

November 13, 2008
I would like to propose a new Cabinet position:
The Secretary of Peace
For this position I would nominate the Dalai Lama
This idea was first proposed by Dennis Kucinich at a conference at Town Hall (I believe in 2003 or 2004)
The Dalai Lama talked with different panels that were brought together by Tibet House. On the Media Panel were Amy Goodman, Kucinich and Al Sharpton.
Kucinich said that if he became President he would create a Cabinet position for Peace. I think this is a great idea, and that the Dalai Lama would be a perfect candidate for the job.
Treasury: Paul Volcker
State: Colin Powell
Defense: Robert Clark
Energy: Al Gore
Attorney General:Alan Dershowitz
Ag: Michael Pollan! Everyone go to change.gov and write him in!
I would like to se4e Colin Powell in charge of veterans' affairs; I would like to see Dr. William Cosby somewhere in an important edeucation spot.
Education :Caroline Kennedy
Defense: Chuck Hegel
HUD:Jimmy Carter
Energy: Boone Pickens or Al Gore
Sec. of State:Bill Clinton
Health:Hillary Clinton
Veterans:Bob Kerry
Treasury:Warren Buffett
TOM FRIEDMAN for Full Time CONSULTANT on EVERYTHING
Department of Education - William Ayers
Despite his history of radicalism in the 1960s, Ayers is a prominent theorist in primary and secondary education. He's written many books on educational theory, and is highly qualified for the position. The appointment would be great payback for staying out of the limelight during the campaign.
Transportation: Janet Sadik-Khan
Energy: Bill McKibben
- Robert Reich - Sec. of Labor
- Colin Powell - Sec. of State
- John Stewart (ie. of The Daily Show) - Press Secretary
- Laurence Tribe - next Supreme Court appointment
Oops, I meant RFK Jr. for Interior.
And not McCain for Veteran's Affairs
I like someone's suggestion for FDA: Ralph Nader
Good one about Palin for Russian Ambassador!

I'm so glad people have suggested Paul Krugman for Treasury Secretary. He was smart enough before he got a Nobel!
Dept of Peace and Nonviolence: Samantha Power, George Mitchell or Dennis Ross
(Kudos to Dennis Kucinich for championing the legislation (HR 808) to create the DoP but he is not the right person for the role.

TREASURY SECRETARY: Sheila Bair, current head of FDIC
Robert Kuttner made a compelling case for her: she's a Republican who has been critical of the bailout for Wall Street and worked to prevent foreclosures.
McCain is a TERRIBLE choice for Veteran's Affairs.
Although he is a veteran and former POW, his voting record on behalf of veteran's issues is dismal. It's so bad that the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) recently rated him only 20% in favor of veteran's issues. And just last month the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a "D" on their grading scale that looked at 10 key military/veteran's issues.
A much better choice would be Colin Powell and this is an appointment that he might be more open to accepting.
Sec of State: Hillary Clinton
Defense: David Petraeus

Fed Chairman: Any qualified financial expert who has not profited from hedge funds, derivatives, or mortgage bundling...
Hillary not for Supreme Court.
In her early years as a Senator, didn't she co-sponsor a bill for a flag burning amendment to the Constitution?
samantha power: secretary of state
denis kucinich: head of department of peace
al gore: energy czar
howard dean: health secretary - considering it was his 50 state strategy was what got obama elected, he really should get some recognition..
Definitely not Joel Klein for Education Secretary!! Rudy Crew, Linda Darling Hammond, Diane Ravitch, James Hunt - ANYONE but Klein.
Secretary of State: Colin Powell
Next New Supreme Court Justice: Hillary Clinton
AIDS Czar could be Helene Gayle - an African-American woman who has tremendous international experience as well as having been at the CDC and Gates Foundation - she could finally get a national AIDS programme running for the USA. Someone of substance in this position could really shift the epidemic globally.
Ron Paul Fed boss...then he can abolish the Fed and save the country...
sec. of treasury/commerce - david walker, formerly of GAO.
since bloomberg is running for a 3rd term here, no sec of treas, but david walker has been talking about the creadit problem for years.

Keep Gates at Defence
State: Les Aspin (still around?)
Energy: Al Gore
Labor: Tom Harkin
Treasury: Bloomberg
Veterans: McCain
Attorney General: Dukakis!
Michael Pollan is so knowledgeable, but he should be an adviser to the secretary of ag, who should be someone with some experience with sustainable agriculture, and an interest in changing the broken system we have now, but who has government level experience in getting things done (but not lining his/her pockets with lobbying money). and NOT Tom Vilsack, he is cooperate AG all the way.
Michael Pollan should definitely be invited to consult on the garden that should be placed on the White House lawn.

Why do you think he's not among President-Elect Obama's Economics Brain Trust? I know he was a strong Hillary supporter, but many of those in the economic inner circle are Friends of Bill. Why not include the advice of this Nobel laureate, too?

Diane Ravitch for Secretary of Education
She is totally non-partisan having been Asst Secy of Education for the first Pres. Bush and an appointee of Pres. Clinton to the National Assessment Governing Board. She is a fellow of both the liberal Brookings Institution and the conservative Hoover Institution.
She believes in high standards, and no gimmicks.

One truly hostile post from Sunset Park above, and an awful lot of mainstream thinking.
All those who supported the invasion of Iraq need to be "off the table" (and certainly not in the new cabinet). When the American people (and people throughout the world) who marched against the invasion on Feb 15, 2003 knew that Iraq wasn't a threat, and these folks claim to have been hoodwinked by Bush (and Powell must have had a gun to his head that made him lie to the UN?), these are clearly not people who should have any power in this government. Too many of them have colluded in the past 8 years of destruction.
[[BL Moderator Writes: Okay. Any specific suggestions of who should be in the cabinet, then?]]

Kansas Lakes, Wildlife Not Out Of Woods On Drought
(AP) – Despite cooler temperatures and more frequent rains, Kansas wildlife and health officials say it's too early to tell if the more favorable weather conditions will translate into a better spring and summer for state lakes and wildlife populations after years of severe drought.
The impact has stressed Kansas wildlife while reducing recreational opportunities through frequently high levels of blue-green algae at lakes and reservoirs.
Wildlife officials say the drought conditions created a two-year spike in the number of cases of hemorrhagic disease cases in deer spread by biting midges. More than 1,200 cases were reported in 2012.
Recent rains are helping lakes, particularly in the eastern counties, return to normal levels. Those lakes that are dry or nearly dry will take two years to refill and restock with fish

"Stylish figures to use as a guide for drawing.…"
My teenage son is doing his art GCSE and he was really impressed with Adam and Rover, he thought they helped him get the proportions of his figure drawings right. These two shiny figures were handmade from stainless steel with aluminium rivets so they won't rust and are able to be manipulated into a variety of poses, Adam and Rover are highly pose-able, both have fourteen points of articulation.
