What are the drawbacks of keeping a swing keel lowered at all times?
SailNet repsonds:Thanks for the question. The main disadvantage to keeping a swing keel lowered at all times is draft. If you keep your keel down all the time, you won't be able to enter shallow anchorages. Of course with the keel down your boat will track better and you'll be able to point better, but you'll also lose speed off the wind.
We firmly believe that usekeeping your boat activeis the best form of maintenance for systems aboard a boat. A swing keel left in the down position all the time is more likely to attract sea critters to the area inside the centerboard trunk for a home, which will later make it increasingly difficult to retract the keel. Also, the further the keel is down, the more cable or line you'll have exposed to the water, and therefore the more of it that is exposed to corrosion.
The other disadvantage is that you won't be taking the full use of your boat's abilities. For additional information regarding swing keels, you might want to have a look at what Tom Wood had to say in response to a similar question not too long ago: Swing Keels and Centerboards.
Good luck.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Time to go. Past time to go, but Jolie turned back towards the cabin, her rubbersoled snow boots scrabbling for purchase on the icy step as she pulled the door closed and locked it. Everything was as it should be inside the cabin. Clean, tidy and utterly impersonal. Mission complete.
Climbing into the ski mobile's driver's seat, Jolie headed for the gondola next and went through the process of getting the box off the sled and into the waiting ski gondola, grimacing as the box took yet another beating for her efforts. From there she headed for the ski field control tower and parked the ski mobile in its spot beside the door.
The ski mobile rig was Hare's. So too was the heavy coat he'd insisted Jolie put on before he let her head for the cottage. The twoway radio in her pocket was his too. It had crackled to life a few minutes ago with Hare in his official capacity of skifield manager telling her to make swift with the time because the weather was getting worse, the last gondola ride down mountain was leaving five minutes ago, and she'd damn well better be on it.
Everything in its place, she unhitched the sled and stored it in the lockup. Everything in its place—a little phrase Hare rammed home to every employee on the mountain. Everything where it ought to be or you could get the hell off Silverlake Mountain and go down and work the bars and restaurants and ski lodges of Queenstown instead.
'Is it done?' Hare murmured as she slipped into the control room and shut the door behind her.
'It's done.' Jolie set the ski mobile keys on the key rack by the door, and the twoway back in its charger on the counter. She pulled the cottage keys from her pocket and held them out towards Hare. These ones had no hanging spot that Jolie knew of. 'Mama said to give you these, as well.'
When Hare rubbed at one of his arms rather than take them, Jolie set the keys down on the counter. Frankly, she never wanted to lay eyes on them again. She could hardly blame Hare for wanting the same.
'Never did sit right with me, that arrangement,' muttered Hare.
'Yeah, well, you're not exactly in the minority.' A truth for a truth and only for Hare. Everyone else got defiant and hostile silence—a defence mechanism that predated her teens. 'But it's done with now.'
Death had a way of finalising things.
'How's your mama holding up?' asked the big man. 'She at the funeral?'
'No,' said Jolie wearily. 'Of course she's not. She was heading out to walk alongside Lake Wanaka for a while instead. Reckons she'll say goodbye to him there.'
'She working the bar this evening?' asked Hare and Jolie nodded.
'Yes. You're invited to come down and drink to the dead tonight, by the way. Discreetly, of course, but it's on the house. It's the wake you have when you're not having a wake.'
'She loved him,' said Hare gruffly. 'You give her that, if nothing else.'
'I know. It's just—' Bitterness didn't become her; Jolie tried her best to avoid it. But she'd just spent an afternoon removing all traces of her mother from James Rees's selfindulgent life and remembering in the process exactly how much her mother had given up for him and what she'd received in return. 'I know.'
Not Hare's fault, Jolie's foul mood. Not his fault that he'd been the unlucky employee charged with running herd on young Jolie that first time Rachel Elizabeth Tanner had gone up to the high cabin to be with her married lover. Not Hare's fault he'd been stuck with Jolie every time after that until Jolie had deemed herself old enough to not need a babysitter any more.
Hare had taught her to ski, taught her the mountain and kept her safe from everything but bitter reality.
Nothing could keep her safe from that.
Things had changed for Jolie after James Rees's affair with Rachel Tanner had come to light. Jolie's friends had not remained friends and she'd never really got the hang of making new ones. And when the boys had started to notice Jolie—and they had—Jolie had discovered that former friends could turn into jealous and angry enemies who knew exactly where to hit so as to make the hurt go in deep.
'You gonna stick around Queenstown for a while?' asked Hare. 'Help your mama adjust?'
Jolie shrugged. 'I can stay a couple of weeks. Then I'll have to get back to work in Christchurch.'
'Heard you landed a drawing job there.'
'I did.' Sheer bloodymindedness and talent had got her a job as a graphic artist for a film special effects company. Sheer bloodymindedness and talent kept her there. The payoff being that she didn't have to deal with reality on a daily basis. Reality was overrated.
'Could you do it from here?'
'Why would I want to do that?'
'I don't know.' Hare seemed to hesitate. He scratched his head and pulled a frown. 'Might be different for you here now that James is gone.'
'I can't see why. Hannah's still here. Cole's still here. James's widow is here.' The reclusive Christina Rees. 'And they still own half the town. They've never been inclined to make anything easy for a Tanner.'
'Wasn't easy for any of you,' said Hare gruffly. 'Could be a good time to let go of old grudges.'
'Now you're being rational,' said Jolie. 'Interaction between Tanners and Reeses is never rational.'
'Doesn't have to be that way,' said Hare.
'Yeah, it does,' she said softly, and opened up to Hare because the big man had always been kind to her and knew more of the real Jolie Tanner than most. 'Hare, I don't want to come back to Queenstown. All I ever did here was hide myself away from other people. Put on masks so that people would see what they expected to see. A young girl completely at home in a bar full of strangers. The defiant daughter of James Rees's mistress. A siren in my own right, fully comfortable in the role. All of them masks, whereas in Christchurch ' Jolie shrugged awkwardly. 'I've finally gathered the courage to step out from behind the masks and just be me. I kind of like being me.'
'You're making friends, then?'
'Not quite.' Another awkward shrug. 'Not yet. But at least I don't have enemies. That's something, right?'
'Right,' said Hare gruffly.
Now she'd embarrassed him. And exposed herself. Not a place of comfort. Definitely time to flee. 'You ready to send that gondola downhill yet?'
'Just waiting on another passenger.'
'Who?' The ski field had been closed since lunchtime on account of the unpredictable weather. Jolie figured that all the other employees and skiers on the mountain would have headed downhill hours ago. All except for Hare, who lived on the mountain in a cabin half a kilometre away from the main complex.
'Cole who?' But Hare wasn't answering. Nor was he looking her in the eye. Jolie's stomach began to churn and churn hard. 'Cole Rees is here on the mountain?'
'Came up a couple of hours ago. He's up at the lookout.'
'Doing what?'
Hare shrugged.
'But how can he be here?' She'd planned her foray to the cabin for a time no member of the Rees family would be anywhere near here. 'Why isn't he at his father's funeral?'
'Didn't ask. The man wasn't looking for conversation, Jolie. He was looking for space.'
And now he'd be sharing space with her all the way back down the mountain. Just Cole Rees and Jolie Tanner and a box full of evidence of her mother's twelveyear affair with his father. 'Great,' she muttered. 'That's just great. Any chance of rolling another gondola around so that Cole can ride down on his own?' The ski lift consisted of several eightberth sky gondolas and was a twelveminute ride, top to bottom.
'None,' said Hare. 'Blizzard warning just came in. You're lucky I'm prepared to run this one.' He looked out of the tripleglazed window of the control hut and nodded once. 'Time to go, girlie. There's Cole.'
Jolie followed Hare's gaze. And there he was. Cole Rees, large as life. Striding down the lookout path towards the gondola, his raven hair windblown and his pretty face set against the worsening weather. A man so reckless, unpredictable and downright sexy he made Jolie's insides clench. And that was before she factored in his hatred of all things Tanner. 'Great,' she said grimly. 'That's just great.'
Jolie grabbed a ratty sheepskin hat with earflaps from the assortment of old lostandfound attire hanging on the back wall of the tower and jammed it on top of her beanie. The hat wouldn't be missed, and, besides, she'd give it back. She added a thick black scarf and lostandfound ski goggles to the ensemble while Hare looked on, deadpan.
'I take it you're keeping my coat,' he said.
'I'll give it back tomorrow.' Not for the first time today, Jolie gave thanks that she'd worn her oldest ski gear. Unisex attire purchased years ago during a mercifully brief phase in which she'd attempted to downplay her looks and her femininity. Her ski boots were black, chunky, overworn and all about getting the job done. Nothing feminine about them either. 'Hair,' offered Hare.
'Oh.' She took off the hat and goggles, twisted her auburn tresses round and round and then up beneath the beanie, and then jammed the hat back on her head. Her red hair was a legacy from her mother and truly distinctive. Men were fascinated by it. Hairdressers wanted to bottle it. Jolie had no complaints of it, truth be told, but right now she wanted it hidden. She pulled the hat's earflaps down. 'Better?'
'You look like E.T.'s Alaskan cousin,' said Hare. 'I take it that's the point?'
'Yes,' she said, snapping the goggles down over her eyes.
'Or you could be yourself,' murmured Hare. 'No, I really couldn't. Meet JT. J for Josh. He works for you.'
'Go,' said Hare with a roll of his eyes. And as Jolie leaned in to embrace her old minder and mentor, 'Well, don't kiss me!'
'Suit yourself.' Jolie gave him a manly thump on his arm instead. 'We going to see you at the bar tonight?'
'If the weather clears,' said Hare gruffly, glancing at his computer screen and the satellite weather map currently dominating it. 'Which it won't. Tell your mama I'll be down for that drink tomorrow night.'
'Will do.'
'And tell her I'm sorry for her loss and mind you say it right.'
'I'll say it right,' said Jolie, with a catch in her voice on account of Hare's deep understanding of her mother's position. Brazen bar owner Rachel Tanner—the bar reputedly a gift from James Rees—would get little sympathy from anyone on account of James's death. Instead she would grieve for her lover in lonely silence. 'I'll practise beforehand.'
Hare just rolled his eyes again and looked out of the tower window and up at the sky. 'Kia waimarie, little one.' Good Luck. 'Keep your head down. And close up behind you as you go.'
Hare waited until Jolie was out of the door before rubbing at his aching arm again and letting out a sigh. The girl wasn't wrong to want to avoid Cole Rees on this of all days, but whether she could was a different matter altogether. Chances were that at some point during the ride down the mountain Cole Rees would look twice at the youth who rode down with him. Chances were that he'd start adding up the inconsistencies.
Hare employed teenagers on the mountain if they had the experience and steadiness he was looking for, but he didn't take them that small. Ever.
Nor did they come with alabaster skin, a delicate jaw and, if a man could get past those lips—and some couldn't—eyes the colour of snow clouds.
It'd be Jolie's eyes that would give her away. No one had eyes like the Tanner women. Not that colour. Not that challenge that lurked in their depths. A siren's mix of sensual selfawareness shot through with aching vulnerability.
Fact: a man could get lost in such eyes and never surface.
He'd seen it happen.
And witnessed the carnage it had caused. 'Eyes down, girlie,' he whispered. 'You give that boy a chance.'
Cole Rees put his head down and quickened his stride as he headed for the ski gondola. The weather matched his mood: filthy and unpredictable, his emotions a roiling mess of sadness and regret, anger and defiance. He hadn't been able to sit through his father's funeral, not all of it. The glowing accolades had turned his stomach. His mother's genuine grief had fuelled his fury. His sister's anxious pleading for him to please not make things worse had only cemented his decision to get the hell out of there before he cursed his feted father to rot in hell for eternity.
There would have been no coming back from that.
His mother the society maven would have crumpled completely.
Hannah, his sister, was stronger than that. Hannah would have made him pay dearly for subjecting the family to yet more scandal.
Only the gossip mongers would have been satisfied, but not for long. They never were.
He'd wanted a woman to lose himself in—and there were plenty around—but even that small comfort reeked of his father's legacy. Of thoughtlessness and recklessness and appetites not easily sated. And maybe Cole had outgrown thoughtlessness a few years back, and maybe he did his best to check his recklessness, but on that third count he was as guilty as sin.

What a wonderful story. It's so different from other Harlequin books I've read to date. No alpha male BS, no wimpy heroine. They cut to the chase, they don't dance around. The story reflects modern day relationships... how it flows and all. None of that "ohhh I must resist you..." It made me curious to look up the author's profile ( which I will do after writing this review) to see if she's perhaps younger and more in tune to how dating goes these days. It's great to see romance unfolds earlier rather than in Chapter 13, which most HQ authors do. What's even better is when 2 people are direct to the point instead of hiding their feeling until the end. Thing is that's how it is today, well generally I supposed. Kudos to the author! I will read your other materials again.
The story is sad, funny and relateable! A must read! It will make you laugh and you'll find yourself saying "That's what I'll say to Cole too if I was Jolie!"

Its always hard for me to see people that are so inocent suffering for no good reason. Jolie when she was 12 was hurrying to catch up with Hannah but Hannah was not waiting for her as usual. Hannah and her big brother Cole would not look at her or talk to her, infact Hannah got all their friends to dump Jolie too because her mother was having an affair with Hannah's father.
Now thier dad was dead 12 years later and Jolie was up to their ski lodge and cleaned out all her mother's stuff from the cabin on a day of funneral so she would not run into Cole or Hannah.
The Gondal ride last of the day was only Jolie and Cole was up their she was warned. So Jolie borrowed someones goggles,hats scarf she was already in borrowed man's coat.
Jolie answered Cole in short answers in deep voice and always looked away from him and it was short ride but all of a sudden the ride stopped and they could not get answer from emergency phone and no cell service. They saw one avalanch but missed them but the second caused the gondola to fall. Cole had head injury so Jolie got him mad so he would keep going till they climbed back up and broke in kiosk.
Cole finally realized who she was after she saved his life. Cole for years had fought wanting her. He asked for one kiss and ended up too close. Finally they were rescued.
Cole realized how unfair he had been to Jolie and saw a lot of that he liked. Cole was now head of his dad's many businesses and trying to keep ski resort to reopen. Cole wanted to keep seeing Jolie and went and flew up to visit every weekend for a month. Cole wanted more. Jolie was afraid that their family and town would not let them.
I enjoyed this romance they had. Jolie was a strong woman and would not give up on herself or Cole. Jolie did not want any thing from Cole's dad will in fact she gave it back to him.
Would love to see Hannah story someday. I was given this ebook in exchange for honest review.

I have tears in my eyes as I write this because the ending of this story was so beautiful, romantic and it made me feel like I needed to hug somebody. I simply had to write this review right away. If a reader is looking for a book with characters they can believe in, then The Man She Loves to Hate is a winner.
The title can be a bit misleading, making a reader think it's going to be full of angst, darkness and over the top conflict. It's not. In fact, it's about hope, redemption, determination and a celebration of life. Oh don't get me wrong, there is a deep emotional conflict that colors and influences some of the actions in the book but what I found gratifying is the hero and heroine not succumbing to its poison. I am thrilled that Ms. Hunter wrote a story that is focused on two people falling in love in spite of and despite the past, the community perception of the heroine and the legacy of the hero's father.
I loved how the author set up Jolie and Cole to meet again later in life in a situation that stripped away all of those nasty lies and gave them an almost clean slate to work with. It was the first time either saw each other for who they really were or who they could be, if they could only break the shackles of their mutual painful past. And what I liked was their willingness to try. That took guts, courage and of course, a healthy dose of lust and passion didn't exactly hurt.
I liked Jolie a lot. I got the biggest kick out of her job. What a fun profession, although it's clear from the book that she worked hard at it and it's not without challenges as well as triumphs. She got there on her own through sheer determination and grit. The heroine is a strong character despite her internal doubts and insecurity. Jolie hides them well but the reader will see so much more. I enjoyed the creative outlet that the author gave the heroine when emotions were at a fevered pitch. It was insightful, fascinating and actually entertaining. And I adored (and I know I wore a loopy grin) when Cole made his comment about how he wanted one of the pictures to look.
As for Cole, I have to give the guy credit. Okay, more like Ms. Hunter, because she created a character worth rooting for, and worth admiring. Cole knows the score. So much is at stake and it's not just his heart. And yet, the blinders come off throughout the course of the story and his worth as a hero grew before my eyes. He used to be just as cynical and condemning as the rest of his family and peers until that fateful day. His whole world turned on its axis when he figured out that the situation wasn't exactly what he was told. Since he was a kid, he'd been hurting inside - bleeding for what he thought was lost. As an adult, Cole found out some truths and I was so proud of him when he stood up for what he knew was right and for what he wanted. It was such a powerful moment in the book and Ms. Hunter did it justice.
The ending and wrap up is what bowled me over. Everything that happened before fed into that ending making it one of the most poignant and beautiful reunions of two lovers ever. The dialogue, the passion, and the vibrant feelings - the author brought them all to life, and it left me blubbering into a tissue with happy tears misting my eyes.

Would not recommend
Not ready to open....
This place will be a nice hotel at some point but it wasn't ready to open. No soap, iron or working internet in room. Parking was disorganized and disconnected from hotel. And construction started outside my room at 7am in the morning. I tried to
cancel my second night but the hotel [...] wouldn't allow me. I ate the money for the second night and stayed elsewhere.On the positive side of things, the staff was very helpful and really tried to do the best they could with what they had.
Make sure you get a room INSIDE
Huh. I'm not sure what to make of this place. If they dont give you a room in the ACTUAL hotel address, then it's not really a hotel at all (at least where we stayed, which turned out to be an apartment down the street from the actual "hotel"
address). it turns out that we were given a sort of studio apartment which is quite a ways away from the hotel lobby. This sort of odd set up was kind of ok for us this week since we are here for business / leisure and were pretty flexible but if I was travelling for business and planned on having certain amenities that you usually need when on the road for work, I would be sorely disappointed. Like I said, we were quite a ways down the street from the rest of the "hotel" or what is the lobby. The hotel address is Terrasse St. Denis, which if you google it, is an offshoot of the very busy and very loud Rue St Denis. Our room (studio apartment) was right ON St. Denis (with the bed in the front window), across the street from a very loud club. i would never want to stay here if I needed to sleep with the windows open. There was a full kitchen, as in it has appliances, and was in a separate space of the apartment, but it's not really outfitted with all the necessities. there's a coffee maker, but no complimentary coffee or even coffee filters. There are empty salt and pepper shakers. Empty. There are wine glasses but no water glasses. There's a dishwasher but no dishwashing liquid or sponge or dish soap. There's a beautiful dining room table and some cheap dishes, but no napkins or even paper towels. So picture having to use toilet paper for dinner napkins the first night you're there. we did finally get hand soap on the second day. there was no garbage can in our bathroom. There was no iron or ironing board, no hair dryer. There was an ipod player and clock but the ipod player sounds tinny and cheap and the clock feature was actually broken. The back window didnt close and no one fixed it for three days. the window finally got fixed (and we got our room moved) when we found a JUNKIE ON THE FIRE ESCAPE AND THE WHOLE BACK AREA LITTERED WITH SYRINGES one morning. yeah, it's like that.if you stay here, plan on having to go to the store and spend quite a bit of $ on the basic necessities that you would need to stay in a place like this.The room looked nice and it had large, heavy furnishings that looked expensive, but someone just overlooked alot of details other than decorating. if you look close, there's even some oddities there; an antique-looking chair that's about to fall apart, a bedside table that leans at a very precarious angle, a dresser that is propped up on one side by scraps of wood blocks. For real.it' ON Rue St,, Denis, so if you want to be in the middle of the nightlife, this is a great place to stay. but you should know that this is not the best area of town and there are some rather unsavory looking people around and that if you are staying in one of the "upgraded apartments" that's not actually in the hotel, then you may find one of them right out your back door.to be fair, the room that they moved us to inside the actual hotel building was very, very nice, but I would never risk booking here again and having the possibility of winding up with the sort of place we stayed in for most of our stay.
bring your own coffee, coffee filters, hand soap, dish soap, sponges, hair dryer, salt and pepper, cooking oil, paper towels, dinner napkins etc, or you will wind up spending LOTS OF $$$$ to make your unit live-able.

And if can show an optional and custom message por non-registered users like: "You need to be registered for fill this form". It would be great and really needed.
I'll wait for this feature.
Thank you so much.

James Van Derhoff -outgoing Chief Information Officer
When he started at the State Department, there were typewriters. Now, the lines of communication depend on technology and Van Derhoff says it is a change that should be welcomed, not feared. Despite natural, and necessary, concerns about security he thinks there is a lot more capability out there than we realize, for example technology that will make the screen of your PDA go blank if you leave it in another room. He also thinks that some of the problems agencies have now, with some feds more reluctant than others to embrace technology, may pass since the younger generations are becoming accustomed to constantly incorporating new technology at a rapid pace.

Gear Question
Is this wind and water resistant? What do...
Is this wind and water resistant? What do you recommend to go with this if not? It has to be cheap (30 bucks is somewhat ok) but good.
This will be water resistant and will block the wind somewhat. I'd just my jacket up a little more to block the wind if I were you!
Sandy Brown
Like knanier said, it is somewhat wind/water resistant, but the most important aspect is that it BREATHES! It won't create that evil icky ice/snot dam in front of your mouth and nose, but will keep you warm and dry!

How Chuck Jones Defined America Through Cartoons

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds
By Tom Sellar
One satisfied customer, Mr. A.S., writes from Stockholm: "Human beings are to be pitied. Duties are always loathsome and painful. All pleasure is sin and must therefore be punished, yes! But isn't it through suffering that we gain redemption from sin? And doesn't death give us deliverance and set us free? Farewell!" Mr. A.S. said a good deal else as well, and said it in a fascinating, complex fashion, but since he died in 1912, we've shortened his remarks here; nobody likes a whiner. Wilson has made his dream life much easier. It's all about modeling, you see: people posed on ladders, or artistically raising and lowering stylized pump handles. When the excessive elegance demands low-comic relief, there are life-size cow sculptures and Spike Jones sound effects. As a concession to Mr. A.S.'s anguish, Wilson occasionally has one of the posed figures scream or cackle for no reason, or interrupts Michael Galasso's graceful music with an earsplitting crash. But these things fade away so smoothly in the general atmosphere of pointless gesture and lavender light.
Are there sin and suffering, guilt and recrimination, ironies that wound and acts of love that injure others? Only in the dim and quickly vanishing supertitles. Is Mr. A.S. happy? Well, they say in Stockholm that he turns over in his grave once a year anyway, since he wanted to be buried in Paris. The company of the Stockholm Municipal Theater (Stadsteater) is well-trained and attractive, unlike the talentless German screamers Wilson often inflicts on us, but if you've seen an average Stadsteater production of A.S., you know that a thorough Wilsonizing can seem a considerable improvement. It may not bring the dream to life, but it does at least bring it close to the spirit of today's international shopping chic. Mr. A.S. probably never guessed that the dream he struggled to set down on paper with such passionate precision would one day be on a continuum with the men's wear envisioned by Mr. G.A. of Italy, the exhibition of which is Wilson's latest artistic achievement.
By Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, co-conceived by them with Eric Idle
Richard Rodgers Theatre
Broadway and 46th Street
So why should your dreams be exempt? After all, if you're prepared to accept their irrelevance to the ultimate result, Wilson can market them as easily as anything else. His time is limited, and he receives better offers daily, so don't delay. Operators are waitingto put you in touch with the biggest and chic-est operator of them all. And after that, your dreams will never mean anything to you again. But when you've got cutting-edge fashion, who needs dreams anyway?
Have they told you the tale of the musical Seuss
That took millions of dollars and months to produce?
It's a curious creature, half whippet, half ox,
All covered with glitz, always hungry for yocks,
Quite noisy, but cheerful and quick with its tongue,
To irritate grown-ups and puzzle the young.
Now the Seuss began life as a stack of old books
(Each of which had distinct individual looks)
Till some folk came along from the land of Showbizz
And said, "We could grow these tomes into a great Whizz!"
So they locked the books up in a big mirrored room
Till they melted together in one giant bloom.
Then they potted it nicely and called it a show,
And said to it, "Now off to Broadway you go!"
But the Seuss was unhappy all crammed in a pot
So it whined, and it kicked, and it blew cold and hot
Till the good folk of Showbizz cried, "What can we do?
We must stick it in place with our old Showbizz glue!"
(They had pink-slipped the trainer who trained it up, too
And the draper who'd made sure the creature was clad.)
In their frazzled state, they hardly knew what they had!
Was it plant? Was it beast? Or was it perhaps human?
Would it rise in the East, or screech like Margaret Truman?
They pinched it, they stretched it, they opened its thorax,
They painted its leaves, and they cut off its Lorax.
They made it reduce, and they speeded it up
Till it flaps like a goose and it yelps like a pup
And they started it on the Try-Anything Diet:
Slapstick, parody, satirewhat's that? Let's try it!

Product description
From the bestselling author of "Drive "and "A Whole New Mind "comes a surprising--and surprisingly useful--new book that explores the power of selling in our lives. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in nine Americans works in sales. Every day more than fifteen million people earn their keep by persuading someone else to make a purchase. But dig deeper and a startling truth emerges: Yes, one in nine Americans works in sales. "But so""do the other eight." Whether we're employees pitching colleagues on a new idea, entrepreneurs enticing funders to invest, or parents and teachers cajoling children to study, we spend our days trying to move others. Like it or not, we're all in sales now. "To Sell Is Human" offers a fresh look at the art and science of selling. As he did in "Drive "and "A Whole New Mind," Daniel H. Pink draws on a rich trove of social science for his counterintuitive insights. He reveals the new ABCs of moving others (it's no longer "Always Be Closing"), explains why extraverts don't make the best salespeople, and shows how giving people an "off-ramp" for their actions can matter more than actually changing their minds. Along the way, Pink describes the six successors to the elevator pitch, the three rules for understanding another's perspective, the five frames that can make your message clearer and more persuasive, and much more. The result is a perceptive and practical book--one that will change how you see the world and transform what you do at work, at school, and at home.

Magic, memorable and so spectacular Sunday Express
Theatrebreaks.com says The 'grandaddy' of West End musical theatre, a show not to be missed in your lifetime
Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical version of The Phantom of the Opera, the story of the haunted Paris Opera stage, is a must do Theatre Break in London for any lover of music at its best. When an unknown singer is tutored to become the leading lady by a mysterious masked man, there are bound to be fireworks and even murder!
The Phantom of the Opera Theatre Breaks are the jewel in the crown of London's West End as well as being seen in 119 cities in 24 countries and played to over 80 million people. Awards include the Laurence Olivier and Evening Standard Award for Best Musical and seven Tony Awards.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's most romantic of musical Theatre Breaks is based on Gaston Leroux's gothic novel of life beneath the stage of the Paris Opera where a mysterious masked man falls in love with Christine, a young singer, who inspires "the music of the night".
Argentinian singing star Gerónimo Rauch (pictured right) has taken over the lead role of The Phantom. It's only a shame those dreamy eyes are hidden behind a mask! Previously he played Jean Valjean in Les Miserables at the Queens theatre.

With the #Occupy movement continuing to gain steam and the global political mood seeming to grow more turbulent with each passing day, remaining neutral is no longer an option. On newly-released promo single Us vs. Them (W.A.R.), Booth fave Shane Eli throws in his lot with the 99%, delivering an aggressive yet poetic account of the battle against tyranny over his own hard-edged, rock-meets-opera (yes, opera) production. While this joint isn't attached to any larger effort, fans can look forward to two new projects from Shane Eli—The Flip and Enough Love—in the near future.

A Met Council project started early in one Minneapolis neighborhood. When crews began to tear open the road at 1 a.m., people from as far away as four blocks complained.
Joshua Carlson lives near the construction zone. "Nobody in the neighborhood has any idea what's going on."
Tim O'Donnell, with Met Council Environmental Services, says the project needed to coordinate with another project in the area. He says due to the small window of opportunity, the project actually had to start early.
That was before any neighborhood informational meetings could be held.

My dogs have benefitted from this but it's expensive to continue on a regular basis. However if your dog is having problems I highly recommend it.
Pros: Excellent benefits
Cons: hard to find good technician

I found a vet recommended accupuncturist but they were about two hours away. We did weekly appts. and I did notice a difference. We have used the chiropractor and accupuncture on my 12 year old shepherd mix. She did not like the accupuncture at all but she is a good sport! I think that these alternatives are really worth checking into!!!
Pros: A great service
Cons: again hard to find around here.

The Angels and Tampa Bay Rays will be the first teams featured on a new behind-the-scenes style show called 'Caught Looking.' Film crews from MLB Productions are "embedded" with the Angels and Rays for this weekend's four-game series in Anaheim.
The result will be the first one-hour episode of 'Caught Looking' scheduled to air next Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network.
[caption id="attachment_124643" align="alignright" width="224"] Rays IF Elliott Johnson[/caption]
The show is designed to "give viewers an inside look at what goes on behind the scenes during a pennant race." A different series with playoff implications will be featured in each weekly episode through the end of the regular season.
The Angels-Rays series certainly qualifies as having playoff implications. The Rays currently hold down one of the two wild-card spots in the American League with the Angels one of three times bunched within 1 1/2 games of a playoff spot.

New Translation of German
Book Links Hitler to Satanism
For years the debate has raged: to what degree did the occult influence Adolf Hitler?
New publishing house COTUM (Catalog of the Universal Mind) has released an English-language edition of Magic: History / Theory / Practice (137 pp., softcover, $18.95), the first English-language translation of a book originally written by Dr. Ernst Schertel in 1923. Schertel sent a dedicated copy to Hitler, and the book was later found as part of Hitler's library – complete with his bookplate and extensive annotations.
Magic: History / Theory / Practice covers a range of esoteric territory, with an emphasis on the demonic. Schertel says near the end of the book: "The first and only important thing is communion with the demon."
Considering historical events the passages Hitler highlighted in the 1920's are rather disturbing, they include:
"False images are necessary for the recognition of truth."
"He who does not have the demonic seed within himself will never give birth to a magical world."
"Satan is the beginning…"

Study: Pterosaurs used 4 legs to lift off
Dinosaur-era pterosaurs, often referred to as pterodactyls, used their
arms as well as their legs to leap into flight, a computerized model suggests.
In fact, pterosaurs — believed to have died off 65 million years ago in the same cataclysm that killed off the dinosaurs on land and plesiosaurs at sea — had much stronger
arms than legs, which is the opposite of the way birds are built, Michael Habib, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins University medical school's Center for Functional Anatomy and Evolution, wrote in a study published in the German journal Zitteliana.
The difference between pterosaurs and birds with regard to critical mechanical properties is very, very large, especially when you're talking about the big pterosaurs, Habib said in a statement.
As the size gets bigger, the difference gets bigger too, he said.
His model indicated that Quetzalcoatlus pterosaurs, for instance — one of the largest known flying animals of all time, with a 35-foot wingspan — couldn't possibly launch themselves using their hind legs alone.
But by folding their wings and balancing on their
knuckles, they could push themselves off, almost like a leap-frogging long-jump, he said.
Then, with wings snapping out, off they'd fly, he said.
Using all four legs, it takes less than a second to get off of flat ground, no wind, no cliffs, Habib said.
This was a good thing to be able to do if you lived in the late Cretaceous period and there were hungry tyrannosaurs wandering around, he said.
Habib's research was funded by the Jurassic Foundation, a non-profit organization providing funding for research on dinosaur paleobiology.

I'm not planning to take anything apart. I just want to know if it's doing what it's supposed to be doing. I can also e-mail Norman, if no one here happens to know. I have other Norman packs, so I know how they work in general, combining the output of multiple capacitors or distributing the output among multiple heads.
The total output of a 202 pack is 200 W-s, and I can measure the relative flash output with a flash meter, so the 100 setting is like 100+100, where I can get 200 W-s through one head plugged into one output with the other one empty, or 100 W-s through each of two heads by plugging one head into each socket (or two into one socket with a splitter).
An interesting aside is that one head is more efficient than two. I can get about 1/3 stop more light from one head at 200 W-s than from two heads at 100 W-s each, though of course two heads at lower power give a shorter flash duration, if that's useful. I haven't tested this with my other strobe units, I suppose because I don't usually need to worry about getting 1/3 stop more power, but next time I do need lots of power from my big studio strobes, I'll check.
The "30" setting seems to be 66/33 as Mike suggests, but my question for anyone who actually knows this pack is whether it should be that way (and I could see why it might be), or should I have it checked out.

Carter fenced in a rectangular plot of land and then divided it into two halves by putting another fence along the main diagonal. This diagonal fence measured 41 metres exactly.
Martindale also fenced in a rectangular plot of land in a similar way (including the diagonal fence) but his rectangle was one-third greater in area than Carter's plot and used less fencing.
In both plots all the the dimensions (lengths, widths and diagonals) were a whole number of metres.
How much more fencing did Carter use than Martindale?

Satellite TV Providers in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
The introduction of high-definition TV vastly improved the quality of shows and attracted subscribers even as disposable income dropped during the recession; over the next five years, the industry will face escalating competition from other media, resulting in companies using aggressive marketing tactics that are expected to cut slightly into industry profit. For this reason, industry research firm IBISWorld has updated its report on the Satellite TV Providers industry.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 07, 2013
The Satellite TV Providers industry has posted solid growth over the past five years, supplying a variety of programming to a broadening subscriber base willing to pay a premium for in-home entertainment. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Kevin Boyland, new networks, more channel offerings and bonus features have continued to strengthen the industry's appeal to consumers, even as disposable income dropped during the recession. For example, the introduction of high-definition (HD) TV not only vastly improved the quality of programming, but also attracted new subscribers to higher-margin programming packages. Higher spending on industry services is anticipated to result in annualized revenue growth rate of 4.5% over the five years to 2013. In 2013 alone, revenue is expected to increase 1.8% to $39.8 billion as more consumers subscribe to satellite TV.
High initial fixed costs, which major players have largely already paid off, are a defining aspect of this industry. Progressive technologies, such as new data compression formats, have advanced the quality and speed of direct broadcast satellite (DBS) transmissions, increasing the medium's marketability, continues Boyland. With satellites already in orbit, the industry's two main players, DirecTV and Dish Network, only incur low costs per additional subscriber. However, as internal and external competition heat up, providers may be unable to pass on increasing programming costs to customers, which may dampen profit growth. Similarly, amid heightened competition throughout the broadcast distribution sector, the cost of acquiring and maintaining subscribers has increased, pressuring profit growth. The Satellite TV Providers industry has a high level of concentration. Over the past five years, the top companies have successfully expanded their scope and revenue by offering an increasing array of services and continually improving their quality. These two major satellite providers feature about 200 HD channels and various on-demand services, such as digital video recorder (DVR). This industry is highly concentrated because larger corporations are better equipped financially to develop, launch and maintain satellites.
Due to high start-up costs, regulation and intense competition, few small producers have managed to develop a niche market. Such companies typically vie for specific target audiences, such as religious or immigrant viewer groups, by providing channels specific to their audiences' interests or culture. These smaller players are able to survive in the industry, but do not compete directly with its major players. Consequently, IBISWorld expects industry concentration to remain high over the next five years. Over the next five years, the industry will face escalating competition from other media. Therefore, more aggressive marketing tactics are expected to cut slightly into industry profit. However, the ability of major players to continue developing ways to retain and attract subscribers will determine industry revenue growth. Although still a developing trend, selling advertising space via online content offered to subscribers on an on-demand basis has the potential to provide a new revenue stream to satellite TV providers moving forward.

When life is falling apart, God will carry you through.
It has been said that everyone is either entering, in the midst of, or just exiting a trial. Popular author and pastor Max Lucado has discovered that at any given point, almost everyone is dealing with something. Whether the loss of a loved one, marriage issues, illness, job loss, or the stress of everyday life, people everywhere need the assurance that God will carry them through.
Through decades of betrayal, abandonment, and false accusations, Joseph never gave up on God or His purpose. And Joseph continually trusted the sovereignty of God as Master-weaver of his life. In"God Will Carry You Through," Max invites readers to do the same--to let God's message through Joseph guide His children through tough times today. Laced throughout Joseph's story are personal testimonies by everyday people who discovered for themselves that "God had carried them through" as well as quotes and Scripture passages for meditation. This book is rich in hope for finding peace and reassurance through whatever challenge you face.

#2 After Uttar Pradesh's Governor BL Joshi, Chhattisgarh Governor Shekhar Dutt resigns
Chhattisgarh Governor Shekhar Dutt has resigned from his post today. Dutt's resingation comes two days after Uttar Pradesh Governor BL Joshi put in his papers on June 17, following controversy over central government's consideration to replace seven governors, who were appointed during Congress led UPA-II tenure, before their term comes to an end.
#3 What is ISIL, the jihadist group that threatens to fracture Iraq and the Middle East
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which dealt a spectacular blow to Baghdad's Shiite-led government by grabbing Iraq's second city Mosul and has since rapidly advanced across the country, now poses a threat across the Middle East. Known for its ruthless tactics and suicide bombers, ISIL has already controlled the Iraqi city of Fallujah for five months, and is also arguably the most capable force fighting President Bashar al-Assad inside Syria.
#4 How Chile send Spain packing from FIFA World Cup
In the last World Cup, Spain did lose their opening match but eventually bounced back to go on winning the title. But this time, it was not destined to be like that and their 1-5 humiliation by the Netherlands, their worst defeat since the 1-6 loss to Brazil in 1950 World Cup, was followed by defeat at the hands of Chile
