Re: Lack of Confidence
These people are giving you advice that is good but not great because you are already confused and uncertain. You need to be told in Barney style steps that a 5 year old could not mix up. I will help you with what I THINK is your biggest immediate concern which is electrical since you need lights, music is nice, and batteries ran down are very expensive to replace on a small budget.
Step 1. buy a 10$ volt meter tester. It has an analog rectangular plastic piece with a series of lights from red red yellow to green green. It has a black alligator clip and a red pointy thingy piece like what you insert into corn on the cob ends.
step 2: look at your solar panel. find the fuse box. open the fuse box. Touch the volt meter to the black and red terminal points (where the black and red (negative and positive) wires are connected to the actual circuit panel breaker. Touch the volt meter to these terminal points (metal on metal) and check the reading. If yellow or red it means the problem is your solar panel. Since you have three- I think this will not be the issue but test them anyway.
Step 3: trace with your hand the wires from the solar panel down to where they reach your batteries. YOU SHOULD have a regulator (a small box that you plug in the black and red wires from the solar panel to the regulator) the regulator is what then transfers via another set of black and red wires to your batteries to prevent over charging. If you DO HAVE a regulator- check again with the volt meter where the wires from the solar panel plug into the regulator box. If all good next follow the wires from the regulator down to the first battery they are attached to since you said you have three batteries.
So- right now you have solar panels with wires going to a regulator or directly to the first battery in series since a parallel series will jump your voltage up to 36- series keeps voltage at 12 while allowing equal consumption of power across all three batteries.
So touch with your new 10$ volt meter the first battery where the regulator output wires are attached (if you have a regulator) if green then proceed. If not then you have your culprit.
Assuming your green or have no regulator then your batteries should each be tested one at a time by touching the black alligator to the NEG terminal post and the red pin to the POS post. if even one of the batteries is reading below 12.5 it needs to be replaced because it will ruin the other two batteries in months. If you get two good batteries and one red or yellow this is probably your problem. Disconnect the bad battery and go with two until you can afford a third.
If all green so far move on- You mentioned no inverter but Im inclined to think you have one if your running a CD player. If you do repeat steps for the regulator to make sure inverter is inverting properly. If green proceed. If no inverter proceed.
Step 4: trace the red and black wires from the THIRD battery in series to inside the boat cabin. The black and red wires will MOST LIKELY read to an ON/OFF switch which acts like a master breaker for a house. Flip on house has power. Flip off house has no power even though the house is STILL HOOKED UP to the electrical grid (in your case the batteries). Touch the volt meter like all the other steps to the backside of this on/off switch and make sure you are green. If you are not this is your problem. Replace. If green proceed.
Step 5: Now you will have the red POS wire leading from the on off switch to either an amp/voltage meter (just like a fuel gauge showing empty or full) or it will go to the circuit breaker or panel w.e. you call it. If you have a volt or amp meter test exactly like you did the on/off switch. if green proceed. If not replace or for now simply disconnect and proceed to step 6.
Step 6: The red POS wire will not go to the top or bottom depending on your setup of the first fuse of the circuit breaker. This is the thing with tons of wires coming in and out crossing over and looks like a jumbled mess to anyone not familiar with it. The black wire should go to the first hole of the TERMINAL bar which is a strip where each NEG wire will be plugged in to. So fir instance you have one light in your system. Well starting at step 6 you will have one red wire going INTO the circuit breaker plugging into a fuse. Then it will be connected ACROSS to the other side of the breaker (usually breakers are labeled like cabin lights, running lights, bilge pump, blower, ect.) so you will have one red wire going in to the fuse and one small wire going across to the other side and then another red POS wire LEAVING THE BREAKER going to the ONE light bulb.
You need to test each side of this breaker panel by touching the red pin to the metal point where you plugged in the red wire, and touch the terminal bar which is always near by with the black alligator to make sure you have current running through. If you do test the other side. If you do not take out the fuse which is push in and replace it. Then retest. You should be green if you were not before. now test the other side where the red wire is LEAVING and make sure you get a reading which you should since the fuse is working it will at least be carrying current TO THE LIGHT. the next culprit will be the light its self.
Step 7: trace the red wire going to the light bulb and look at the light bulb- the bulb itself has a tiny resistor inside and at the top has a filament which glows when current is passing through it which causes light. If the filament is burned or broken the light bulb needs to be replaced. If the bulb test good then the positive end of the system is GOOD.
Now the black wire will be leaving the other side of the bulb. Red goes in, black goes out. Trace black back to the TERMINAL BAR and touch the bar with black and the blub with red and check your reading. If all good- proceed to light two.
Repeat this SAME process on every light, fan, electronic equipment connected to the terminal bar and circuit panel until you find the short in the system.
If it IS the mast light it should not be shorting your system like this. However I recommend you hire a rigger to climb up the mast the first time or better yet- take down the mast and rewire the whole thing, anchor light, mast light, spreader lights- this also gives you a chance to inspect the upper rigging and make sure it is all good to go- this is what I would do. Its really not a big deal and not very expensive.
Hope this helps.

Defeat is followed by blames and it is likely to be evident during the Western Maharashtra convention of the Congress party to be held in Pune on Thursday (July 24). All the party big-wigs in the region including Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and former Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde would be attending the convention.
The party would be organizing region-wise conventions to review the preparedness of the party for the ensuing assembly elections in the state. The Democratic Front Government of the Congress-NCP alliance would complete its term in first week of December 2014. Taking in to account the fact that election code of conduct could come in to force anytime after the end of this month, Congress is organizing these conventions in all the regions of the state.
The convention of the Western Maharashtra is being titled as Sankalp Melawa by the party but it is likely that defeat of Sushilkumar Shinde in his hometown Solapur, criticism of Chief Minister Chavan by none other than Minister Narayan Rane who has resigned as a Minister, party's debacle in the state which was evident when it could win only two seats in the state and other issues are likely to surface during this convention. Despite the fact the party leaders are taking all precautions to prevent any anti-voices during the convention, it would be interesting to see if Shivaji Nagar MLA Vinayak Nimhan attends it with show of strength. Nimhan was considered as staunch supporter of Narayan Rane who later came close to CM Chavan is reportedly in contact with BJP leaders and BJP state unit president Devndra Fadnavis had to explain party position on these reports.
The state unit president Manikrao Thakare, AICC in-charge of Maharashtra Mohan Prakash, Minister for Forests Patangrao Kadam, Minister for Cooperation Harshawardhan Patil, Minister of state for Home Department Satej Patil, former Minister Anantrao Thopte, state unit women's wing president Kamal Vyavahare would address the party workers.

When K.P Rajachandran Nair from Thrippadapuram visited the city Corporation office to secure a building permit a few weeks before Onam this year, he was in for a shock. He was refused a permit and asked to come back after a few days.
When this repeated on the second visit, he went digging for reasons and found that a large area in Attipra, where his land is located, and surrounding wards has been marked 'Proposed IT-based enterprises' in the draft master plan for Thiruvananthapuram published late last year.
"My family has been living in this land for many generations. No one asked our opinion before making those markings in the master plan. This is also against the promise given by the government during the land acquisition for the third phase of Technopark that no more land will be acquired in the area," says Mr. Jayachandran Nair.
He approached the local residents' association with the problem. When the association conducted an enquiry, many others voiced similar complaints. "Some of us have parted with our land many times over the past decades, for the university, Technopark, and for road widening. We are not against development. But it is hard to part with your last piece of land and livelihood. Even if we are given compensation, it is hard to start afresh. Also, how is it that the borders of this zone passes just clear of two apartment complexes located near our houses?" asks Ramlal, a resident of Kallingal.
1,500 families
Soon, the Attipra Janakeeya Samara Samithi was formed to take up the issue. The response they got from the authorities was that the area was not for immediate acquisition. "The whole area is densely populated. More than 1,500 families will be affected by the move. Now that the land has been marked thus, even if the people want to sell the land, no one will buy it. And without building permits, nothing can be done on the land. If the land is not for acquisition, they could have just marked it as residential area. The draft plan should have been discussed in the ward sabha and our objections should have been recorded," says Vasumathi P. Nair, convener of the Samara Samithi.
In the master plan, this area is marked with a grid pattern over a pink coloured area. It lists these 'Proposed IT based enterprises' under a category called special use zones. The plan further says that 'if the development envisaged does not start within seven years of sanctioning of the plan, the Corporation can release this land for a use decided in consultation with Chief Town Planner.'
'Insufficient time'
Attipra ward councillor M.S. Sangeetha, who was criticised by local people at a meeting of the protest committee on Sunday, says that the councillors were given only four days to discuss the master plan at the ward sabha. "Since the document is in English, we had to go through each section and find things relevant for our wards and translate it. No discussion happened in any ward because of this. It will now be presented in the next ward sabha for discussion," says Ms. Sangeetha.
However, M. Vasudevan, Senior Business Development Manager of Technopark, told The Hindu that land acquisition had been completed for the next phase of development. "This area has not been marked for acquisition. The problem arose because of the demarcation in the draft plan," he says.
The Corporation council had unanimously decided on September 28 to give permission for buildings under 3,000 sq.ft in areas near institutions such as VSSC, Technopark, and Brahmos, where these problems cropped up. But the decision is yet to be implemented.
"It is impossible to give bulk permissions now as suggested by the council. Individual cases have to be cleared by the council. The permits will be issued in any case. But there will be delay. Such areas are not for acquisition, but are marked for the safety of these strategic installations," says K.S. Jayachandrakumar, Executive Engineer (Projects) of the Corporation.
According to sources, a meeting chaired by the Chief Minister a few weeks ago had recommended all such cases to be cleared before December.

Fabregas signs 5-year deal in $42 million transfer
BARCELONA, Spain Cesc Fabregas' long awaited return to his boyhood club finally was finalized Monday when he signed a five-year contract with European champion Barcelona.
"It took a lot of years, months, days to get here ... it's nice to be home after eight years," the former Arsenal captain said in Catalan during his presentation to fans at Camp Nou, where he repeatedly kissed the Barcelona crest on his new No. 4 jersey.
But while the 24-year-old Fabregas said it was one of the happiest days of his life to once again don Barcelona's burgundy and blue, he acknowledged it was also bittersweet that he didn't leave Arsenal as a winner.
"I gave everything. But it didn't show in the club because I really only won an FA Cup," Fabregas said. "One of my biggest regrets is not leaving Arsenal with a championship."
Fabregas joined Arsenal in 2003 as a 16-year-old prospect from Barcelona's La Masia academy. Within a month the Catalan playmaker became the youngest starter in Arsenal's history at 16.
The major titles, however, never came.
"It wasn't really the losing, it was the routine. Year after year, it was always the same story," Fabregas said. "Fighting until the end only to see we didn't have the energy, in the semifinals, the finals, to arrive in the final sprint."
Fabregas, a member of Spain's 2008 European champions and 2010 World Cup winners, said his goal is to "triumph in Barca, to add my part to make this team stronger."
Fabregas trained with his new teammates later on Monday, getting his first taste of where exactly he will fit into Barcelona's talented squad, which already includes Lionel Messi, Spanish teammates Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, and fellow newcomer Alexis Sanchez.
A set starter with Arsenal, Fabregas accepts he'll share playing time at Barcelona.
"This is the most difficult challenge of my life," Fabregas said. "When you play with great players you learn a lot. I'll work hard for the team, with humility, to earn my spot in the team and I won't stop until I do so."
As a youngster, Fabregas played with Messi and defender Gerard Pique on Barcelona's youth teams.
Barcelona hopes it has found the natural successor to the 31-year-old Xavi and the 27-year-old Iniesta, and a possible mentor for 20-year-old Thiago Alcantara, who should also get minutes this season in midfield.
Barcelona said it paid 29 million euros ($42 million) to Arsenal, with provisions to increase the amount to 39 million euros ($56 million).
Fabregas himself will pay the Gunners 1 million euros ($1.4 million) out of his salary for each season of the deal, and the Spanish champions will pay up to 5 million euros ($7 million) more depending on trophies won.
The contract includes a buyout clause of 200 million euros ($286 million).
Fabregas announced his desire to move back to Barcelona after the 2009-10 season, but Arsenal refused to sell its captain, and Fabregas agreed to stay for one more year.

Treaty of Doak's Stand
The Treaty of Doak's Stand (7 Stat. 210, also known as Treaty with the Choctaw) was signed on October 18, 1820 (proclaimed on January 8, 1821) between the United States and the Choctaw Indian tribe. Based on the terms of the accord, the Choctaw agreed to give up approximately one-half of their remaining Choctaw homeland. In October 1820, Andrew Jackson and Thomas Hinds were sent as commissioners who represented the United States to negotiate a treaty to surrender a portion of Choctaw country in Mississippi. They met with tribal representatives at Doak's Stand on the Natchez Trace. They met with the chiefs Pushmataha, Mushulatubbee, and Apuckshunubbee, who represented the three major regional divisions of the Choctaw. Chiefs of the towns and other prominent men accompanied them, such as Colonel Silas Dinsmore.
Dinsmore was a former US Indian agent to the Choctaw; his passport ruling in 1812 had stirred a brief controversy with Jackson. Dinsmore was at the negotiations to settle a land claim; he believed the policy of the American government toward the Indian tribes was a harsh one. His attitude suggested a potential confrontation, but Jackson paid no attention to him.[1]
The convention began on October 10 with a talk by Jackson (whom the Choctaw nicknamed Sharp Knife), to more than 500 Choctaw. After his proposal to exchange Choctaw land for territory in present-day Arkansas, Pushmataha accused Jackson of deceiving them of the quality of land west of the Mississippi. Pushmataha said, "I know the country well ... The grass is everywhere very short ... There are but few beavers, and the honey and fruit are rare things." Jackson finally resorted to threats to pressure the Choctaw to sign a treaty. He shouted, "Many of your nation are already beyond the Mississippi, and others are every year removing .... If you refuse ... the nation will be destroyed." On October 18, 1820, the chiefs signed the treaty.[1]
Article IV prepared the Choctaws to become citizens of the United States when he or she became acculturated. This article would later influence Article XIV in the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.
|ART. IV. The boundaries hereby established between the Choctaw Indians and the United States, on this side of the Mississippi river, shall remain without alteration until the period at which said nation shall become so civilized and enlightened as to be made citizens of the United States, and Congress shall lay of a limited parcel of land for the benefit of each family or individual in the nation. ...
—- Treaty of Doak's Stand, 1820
The preamble begins with,
|WHEREAS it is an important object with the President of the United States, to promote the civilization of the Choctaw Indians, by the establishment of schools amongst them; and to perpetuate them as a nation, by exchanging, for a small part of their land here, a country beyond the Mississippi River, where all, who live by hunting and will not work, may be collected and settled together. And whereas it is desirable to the state of Mississippi, to obtain a small part of the land belonging to said nation; for the mutual accommodation of the parties, and for securing the happiness and protection of the whole Choctaw nation, as well as preserving that harmony and friendship which so happily subsists between them and the United States, James Monroe, President of the United States of America, by Andrew Jackson, of the State of Tennessee, Major General in the Army of the United States, and General Thomas Hinds, of the State of Mississippi, Commissioners Plenipotentiary of the United States, on the one part, and the Mingoes, Head Men, and Warriors, of the Choctaw nation, in full Council assembled, on the other part,: have freely and voluntarily entered into the following articles, viz ...
—-Treaty of Doak's Stand, 1820
The terms of the treaty were:
1. Choctaw land (in Mississippi) ceded to the U.S.
2. Boundary of western land (in Arkansas) ceded to the Choctaw nation.
3. Marking of boundaries by Choctaw appointed guide.
4. Boundaries may not change until the Choctaws are civilized and enlightened so as to become citizens of the United States.
5. Corn, Blankets, kettles, rifle guns, bullet moulds & nippers, and ammunition given to Choctaws, who moved from ceded territory to lands west of the Mississippi River (Oklahoma), for one year.
6. U.S. agent appointed, goods and supplies to be sent, and a blacksmith will be appointed to Choctaws in ceded lands. Property of removed Choctaws to be sent to them.
7. Selling of Choctaw lands to support Choctaw schools on both sides of the Mississippi River.
8. Annuity of $6000 US annually for 16 years for discontented Choctaws.
Andrew Jackson, Thomas Hinds, Apukshunnubbee, Pooshawattaha, and Mushulatubbee.

Big Inning, Double Plays Burn Boilers in Loss at Indiana State
April 23, 2014HOOSIER SPORTS 365
TERRE HAUTE, Ind.-- Indiana State scored six times in the second inning to build an early lead and Purdue baseball had multiple base runners in an inning only twice on the night, leading to a 10-3 final in favor of the Sycamores Tuesday evening.
The first seven batters of the bottom of the second reached base safely for ISU (26-12). It marked the ninth time this season an opponent has scored six-plus runs against the Boilermakers (9-27) in an inning. Starter Brett Haan(1-3) hit the first two batters of the frame with the first two pitches he threw. Two singles and two walks kept the line moving and led to the extended rally.
Purdue loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth and eighth innings, but ended up hitting into double plays to cut short both rallies. Those turned out to be the only innings in which the Boilers had multiple base runners, as they were limited to just five hits by ISU pitchers Tyler Lunsford and Nick Kolarik. Lunsford didn't give up a hit until the fifth inning. Kolarik (4-1) retired seven consecutive batters beginning with an inning-ending double play with runners on the corners in the top of the fifth.
Adam Dressler allowed three inherited runners to score in the second inning, but was able to put up a couple zeroes in the subsequent frames while retiring nine of 10 hitters from the second through the fifth. Matt Frawleyworked a hitless eighth inning.
Jacob Hayes' two-run single with the bases loaded was the big hit of the second inning. It came on the heels of bases-loaded walk that forced in the third run of the rally. Hayes finished the night 3-for-5. Indiana State's No. 8 and 9 hitters were a combined 5-for-10 with three RBI and three runs scored.
Jeff Evak was the lone Boilermaker to finish with multiple hits, highlighted by an RBI single off the glove of a diving first baseman with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. Steve Maniago picked up an RBI when he was able to stay out of a double play on a grounder to second base. But Brandon Kriegwasn't as fortunate on the ensuing comebacker.
Evak had a bunt single to lead off the top of the eighth. After a hit-and-run single for Maniago and a walk to Krieg, Purdue again had the bases loaded in a 10-2 game. Cody Stronghit into a 6-4-3 double play after ISU shortstop Tyler Wampler made a nice sliding play on a ball hit near the second base bag.
Ted Snidankowalked and scored in the fifth inning and doubled in the top of the ninth for his first extra-base hit as a Boilermaker.
Purdue returns to action Wednesday when it hosts Illinois-Chicago at 5 p.m.

Healthy Greek yogurt cheesecake (no crust)
Community Recipe from
- cooking spray
- 3/4 cup(s) sugar, plus more for dusting pan
- 3 cup(s) Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 cup(s) marscarpone
- 3 tablespoon(s) confectioner's sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla
- Directions:
- 1
- The day before, make the cheesecake. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bring a kettle of water to a boil. Grease a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle with sugar, tapping out excess. Wrap foil around the outside of the pan so it comes up the sides (this prevents the water bath from seeping into the cake).
- 2
- In an electric mixer, beat the yogurt, mascarpone, sugar and confectioner's sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, scraping down the sides. Beat in the salt and vanilla. Transfer to the springform and set it in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to rise halfway up the springform. Cover the roasting pan with foil, tenting the foil so it does not touch the cheesecake. Bake for 20 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for 20 minutes more. Uncover and continue baking, until the cake is puffed but not cracked, jiggly but not liquid in the center, for about 25 minutes more.
- 3
- Cool cake in the roasting pan until the water is lukewarm, then cool on a rack. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove sides from springform.

Tech demo 0.3 (final)Oct 5, 2011 Demo 1 comment
Requirements: a computer capable of running Source engine games, Source SDK Base 2007. If installer doesn't work as supposed, uncompress it manually to...
Puzzle based modification for Source engine. Two world dimensions + two timelines, simple but unusual game mechanics.
Requirements: Windows, Steam, Source SDK Base 2007 (comes with any Valve game, including free-to-play TF2)
12 comments by R_Yell on Oct 5th, 2011
This is all... for the moment. I tried to get you a polished and clean final release. Thank you all for the feedback and help received, too few for my needs but useful in any case.
Regarding bug department, a couple of serious bugs have been fixed: energy balls not able to hit bot instances and a player speed decrease after reload. Pretty nasty ones yeah, should be all fine now.
There are some new features too. First one is stats tracking. Getting along with puzzle game development is pretty hard if you have no precise data to improve the player experience. Therefore, I implemented a simple system which collects variables like time spent in each puzzle, reload amount, instance switches, deaths, etc. Then it gets emailed back to me, I plan to create some statistical data based on it. If results are meaningful, I'll share them with all of you.
There also was needed something I call 'gel door'. It is a new multipurpose object that separates physically rooms, or different areas of each room. Only specific classes can go through each gel door, so player knows which bot class is meant to get you out of a room. This device also prevents any object to be carried away. Visual contact isn't possible through the gel door either.
Most levels have been reworked, partially or totally in some cases. I'm aiming for a better learning curve and higher coherency among puzzles. A new kind of puzzle is also introduced: the dual maze. As some sort of sadistic last challenge, player must get out of a very special labyrinth. Part of the complexity is it shifts around you because your own moves transform it dynamically. It's so complex and confusing that I created this video, I get lost around the middle for a bit ^^ This isn't the only solution, by the way.
There could be a final post describing my experience with the tech demo if I see it fits somehow. For the moment that's all I can offer, hope you enjoy it and please don't stop mentioning the old videos looked much better than this. I couldn't live without it :p

i love the look of it
jello = awesome
awesome = :D
:D = track
Looks cool.
Loving that jello in the source engine, how did you pull that off? Did you just use the physical properties of the Half Life 2 Matress?
I'm actually surprised the engine simulates it so well. It's a ragdoll, similar to the mattress yes.
Thanks to all watchers and sorry for showing this weird teaser heheh. It's some sort of initiation. It isn't like this is the best thing I got just I'm trying to follow an order.
Sounds very good, but difficult to pull off.
I wish you the best of luck, and I'm now watching.

WHITE HOUSE NOTEBOOK: Tutu welcomes Obama 'home'
Monday - 7/1/2013, 11:00am EDT
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) -- Retired archbishop Desmond Tutu locked eyes with President Barack Obama on Sunday in an emotional moment between two men who have been pioneers for racial progress a world apart.
Tutu greeted Obama with a "welcome home" to the continent where his father was born, and pleaded with the U.S. president to be a leader for peace, especially in the Middle East, who can make all Africans proud.
Obama was visiting the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation Youth Centre, an after-school program in a community where many young people are infected with the virus that causes AIDS. Obama praised Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who helped bring an end to South Africa's racist apartheid rule, as "an unrelenting champion of justice and human dignity."
Tutu then spoke of Obama's re-election last fall as America's first African-American president. "You don't know what you did for our psyche," Tutu said. "You won, and we won."
"Your success is our success. Your failure, whether you like it or not, is our failure," Tutu said, reaching out to touch Obama's arm. Obama chuckled and threw up his arms as if acknowledging his fate.
"We want you to be known as having brought peace to the world, especially to have brought an end to the anguish of all in the Middle East," Tutu said. "We pray that you will be known as having brought peace in all of these places where there is strife. You have brought peace and no need for the Guantanamo Bay detention center" in Cuba, where the U.S. has detained dozens of suspected terrorists.
In a diplomatic tour full of scripted formality, the 81-year-old archbishop spoke so slowly and passionately that many in the room who work at the center or the White House were moved to tears. "We are proud of you. You belong to us," Tutu concluded.
Obama also may have appreciated such affirming words at a time when he seems to be under constant criticism at home. Obama rose and helped Tutu to his feet, and the two heartily embraced, with the click of media cameras the only sound in the room.
Obama gave lessons in stage performance to an aspiring teenage rapper after meeting 15-year-old Aviwe Mtongana, who was making music on a Tutu center computer.
The boy identified himself as a rapper and Obama urged the boy, also known as Katmeister, to "give me a little sample."
Mtongana initially demurred, then pushed back his chair and stood up. A grinning Obama said Mtongana must need to "loosen up," and the president demonstrated stretching out his arms like a boxer preparing for a fight.
Mtongana let loose a brief rhyme. "Hell on Earth, what you gonna do? Watching TV, you watching Scooby-Doo. Saying the punch line, he's not cool," he began.
"Heading to the goal with something failing, now you face the hardest living," Mtongana continued. "Getting out there is not pimping, the real way is through rapping."
Obama declared the performance "outstanding," but offered a word of advice.
"You've got to drop the mic," he said, holding his arm out to the side and opening his fist as though he were dropping a microphone on the ground.
Obama prematurely aged his daughter Malia by a few days.
He said in a speech at the University of Cape Town that she is "now 15." But the fact of the matter is Malia doesn't turn 15 until Thursday. She was born on the Fourth of July.
Malia might have appreciated the premature aging, since most teens cannot wait to grow up.
Before the speech, Obama and his family toured the Robben Island prison where Nelson Mandela spent nearly 20 years as a political prisoner before he was released and elected South Africa's first black president.
Obama spent more than 20 minutes inside the tiny cell that housed Mandela for 18 years.
After his family left, Obama remained alone inside the cell that now is a monument to Mandela, a man Obama says is a "personal hero." The president gazed out of a large window with thick white bars. He picked up and examined a small, metal bowl that sat on a small, wooden table before turning his attention to a thin mat with pillows and a brown blanket, on which Mandela would have slept.
Obama visited Robben Island in 2006, when he was a U.S. senator, but the tour was a first for his wife, Michelle, and daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Robert Esterday, My fathers suitcase
Addedby Gerardine Baugh
I remember when my father took me to the Chicago Tribune to see the presses where the paper was printed. I was so in awe and looking upward at the noise and movement that I nearly stepped on the chain that ran along the flooring taking the papers and boxes through the presses to the loading dock.
He loved to get my mom mad by telling polish jokes. With little kids he like to show them how his thumbs could pull apart ( joke from the three stooges) he made paper trees , paper hats. He was a gentle soul, he loved his wife, Gloria and his kids and he died to early at 73.

WACO, Texas (AP) -- Some 2,000 people have turned out to welcome home the NCAA champion Baylor women's basketball team. The crowd is inside the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas. The Lady Bears beat Notre Dame 80-61 on Tuesday night to cap a 40-0 season, the first in NCAA history. Baylor athletics is on a great run and school President Ken Starr referred to that. Quarterback Robert Griffin III won the Heisman Trophy last season, and now the women's basketball program has its second national title.

Based on his potential, I would put him a top 30-50 at best considering how competitive tennis is now. He just got some luck in Toronto where almost all top players withdrew, and Madrid which was a blue clay (no explanation needed).
Also, the courts got much much slower and players like Tipsarevic and Simon just took benefit from it.
Tell me which part you don't agree with
Pretty much all if it
Based on his potential? How do you rank players on an unquantifiable basis like potential? Everybody has an opinion there, but IMO it's unquestionably better to rank players on achievement(if a player can achieve more, they should, and if they don't, it's their fault and we shouldn't up their ranking because they should have, but didn't, do something).
Courts are slower than they were 15 years ago, yes. It's the same for everybody, and everyone has to compete under the new environment. We don't rank players based on how they would have done in 1990(or whatever date you liked better). We need to rank them on what they achieve today.
That covers Madrid, as for Toronto -- almost all the top players? 7 of the Top 10 played. By what logic, precisely, does 'almost all' mean 30%? That includes Gasquet by the way, who made the final -- which means he was that much worse that Tipsarevic the rest of the year to still be ranked below him.
Having said that, let's look at the players you mentioned:
Tipsarevic: Slams(1 QF, 2 R16, 1 other); Masters(2 SF, 2 QF, 1 R16, 3 others); 500(2 QF); 250(2 W, F)
Wawrinka: Slams(3 R16, 1 other); Masters(1 SF, 1 QF, 4 R16, 3 others); 500(1 QF); 250(1 F, 1 SF, 1 QF)
Slightly worse at best in every single category. Just no. If he doesn't skip a couple of masters and plays another 500 or two, he'd have a chance, but Tipsarevic got deeper into Masters/Slams consistently.
Raonic: Slams(2 R16, 2 others); Masters(2 QF, 1 R16, 5 others); 500(1 F, 1 SF); 250(1 W, 2 QF)
Too inconsistent at the Slams and Masters. Same song, different verse.
Gasquet: Slams(4 R16); Masters(1 F, 1 QF, 2 R16, 4 others); 500(1 SF); 250(3 W, 1 F)
He's got the best argument, as he's the one guy actually in the ballpark(which is why he is less than 9% behind in points, just 245 pts). The big difference is he exited early at too many Masters. One could possibly make an argument for him being ranked higher, but it's very thin as when you can't make the round of 16 in half the masters you enter(and never progress past that mark once in a Slam either), saying you should be higher than #10 in the world is a pretty big stretch.
Nishikori: Slams(1 R16, 3 others); Masters(3 R16, 5 others); 500(2 W, 2 QF); 250(2 SF)
Been a Kei fan for years, love watching him play. This is irrelevant. He missed a Slam and didn't get past the third round of two others. He also missed a pair of Masters and didn't get far in most of the ones he entered. Sensing a pattern here? Inconsistency and injury. Done very solidly in the 500/250s, but needs to step it up in the big events on a regular basis. Hasn't done it yet.
Almagro: Slams(2 QF, 1 R16, 1 other); Masters(1 QF, 4 R16, 3 others); 500(2 SF, 1 QF); 250(1 W, 1 F).
Interesting case here. Slightly better in Slams, considerably worse in Masters. Less than 600 points behind, which he could get if he would be more consistent.
Not going to go through all of them in the sake of brevity(they're similar) except to LOL @ Gulbis. Rotterdam and Delray Beach(both in the last month -- good on him--) are the only events in the past year that he can claim to have won consecutive matches in other than Challengers. A guy who has to qualify for a 250 event should be ranked in the Top 10? Uh, wut??
So yeah, I respectfully disagree with pretty much everything you said.

About Bullitt Reservation
Let your eye drift across a broad swath of what was once cropland and pasture to the nearly unbroken forest canopy beyond.
Once a poor farm, and then later part of the country retreat of first U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union William C. Bullitt and his daughter Ann, this eye-pleasing blend of fields and farm buildings, mixed woodlands, and streams forms a crucial link in almost 3,000 acres of protected land.
Deer and bear are among the wildlife emerging from the forest to feed and frolic, while the fields nurture orchids and butterflies. This ecologically rich property also shelters state-protected species. Poland Brook and its feeder streams provide habitat for a variety of fish and freshwater insects and plants.
The Trustees are designing trails to both showcase the reservation and connect to a larger network of footpaths in Ashfield and beyond that lace this lovely part of the Pioneer Valley.
When to Visit
Year-round, daily, sunrise to sunset. Allow a minimum of one hour.
Renovating the Bullitt Farmhouse
Click here for a short slideshow of the Bullitt Farmhouse's Deep Energy Retrofit.
After the renovation was finished, we enlisted the help of our friends at Hilltown Tree and Garden to transform the outside of the building into an oasis of colorful berries, swaying grasses, stately trees, and wildlife-friendly plants.

Property History
Property Acquisition History
In March 2009, fulfilling the conservation vision of its former owner, Anne Bullitt, the William C. Bullitt Foundation generously donated 262 acres to The Trustees, who will care for and maintain the property, forever preserving it from development and establishing it as a new reservation to be enjoyed by the public.
This 262-acre parcel was part of the 365-acre former estate of Ambassador William C. Bullitt, and his daughter, Anne Bullitt. William C. Bullitt (1891–1967) was an American diplomat, journalist, and novelist, and is best known for his role as the first U. S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union and his service as the Ambassador to France, which began in 1936. Abundant with a mix of forests, fields and streams, which provide natural habitat for numerous wildlife and a diversity of species, the property was enjoyed as a summer home by the Bullitt family for many years. It was the wish of Anne Bullitt that the Bullitt property be conserved and the legacy of her father be carried on at the site for the community and future generations to enjoy. Thanks to the generosity and foresight of the Bullitt Foundation, 103 acres of the former estate had previously been preserved through a conservation restriction donated to The Trustees of Reservations in 2008.

'John Axelrod first came to my attention with his mesmerising performance, together with Samuel Pisar, of a reworked Leonard Bernstein Kaddish Symphony. There's something about his conducting that cuts directly to the heart of a piece, allied to a real and profound sensitivity. He is also, though many don't realise it, one of the most quietly influential conductors working today, with many brilliant younger artists under his wing and a slew of important commissions to his name, with the likes of Wolfgang Rihm, Gabriel Prokofiev and Alexandre Desplat.'

I had a 76 Mac 2-22 until a couple of years ago. The keel winch is a stock item. Check Northern tool or Harbor freight. Make sure you get the self braking model, I think about $75.00. Check Idasailor for the rudder. IMHO, the biggest issue with Macgregors is that the foils are not well shaped. My original teak (?) rudder rotted and broke. I replaced it with a blade from Idasailor, and it made a huge difference. If you can, fair the swing keel. I never did mine, but I think it will make a big difference. Blue Water Yachts sells parts for older Macgregors, and I got a lot of kits from Catalina direct, which were designed for Catalina 22s, but fit easily with minor adjustments. Other being a satisfied customer, I have no relationship with any of those folks, but they helped me a lot with my boat. Good luck, and sail a lot. I had my 2-22 for 10 years, and found the best "upgrade" was more time sailing, you learn a lot, and have fun!

@Don92649 you are correct it i is the static cling that occurs when

Thor Meets Captain America
|David Brin
|Science fiction
Publication date
Thor Meets Captain America is a science fiction and alternate history novelette by David Brin. It was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novelette in 1987[2] and also won a Locus Award in 1987 in the novelette category.[3] The graphic novel The Life Eaters is based on the story.[4] This story was first published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in their July 1986 issue which was titled Hitler Victorious.[5]
The title is a pun on the Marvel Comics characters Thor and Captain America.
Just as World War II began to turn against them, the Nazis were suddenly championed by the Norse pantheon. However, Loki joins the Allies, and they prepare a last-ditch sneak attack against Valhalla called Operation Ragnarok. The story follows Captain Chris Turing, who is part of the team which is going to attack Valhalla and starts out with them traveling to their attack destination in a group of submarines hoping that what remained of the United States Surface Navy would be able to distract the Nazi and Norse pantheon forces. Originally the plan was for Chris' team and their commando escorts, but Loki informs Chris that he will accompany his troops to Gotland. Due to Loki's previous actions in aiding the Allies and the way he ended the Holocaust by saving the inmates of the concentration camps, Chris agrees and convinces Major Marlowe to allow it.
While waiting for them to get to their destination, Chris recollects his memory of World War II and how the Nazi Party was about to be defeated by the allied forces until they received the aid of the Norse pantheon. Loki notices Chris and allows the captain to ask the Norse God three questions. Loki answers the questions asked, and in one answer mentions how he does not think that he is older than Chris and also implies that the Nazi extermination camps were established for reasons other than for "Nazi racial purification." The group arrives at Gotland, and during the operation Loki disappears and Thor defeats the troops.
The survivors of Operation Ragnarok are taken prisoner after the failed mission and are given to Thor by his father Odin. While in custody, Chris recollects more of his memories of World War II and recalls how as a child he wished that he would have an event like the war that he could partake in like his father did. He ends up discussing the history of World War II with his captured troops, and ends up being taken to be interrogated by Thor and argues with the group about the way the United States should have simply bombed Germany in order to end the war as soon as possible.
After this conversation, Chris is taken to be interrogated by Thor. At first, a Nazi starts interrogating him, but after the captain successfully angers the interrogator through verbal banter Thor interrogates him. Thor tries to get Chris to reveal the whereabouts of Loki, but the captive captain does not tell him and does not know. O'Leary ends up insulting Thor, insisting that they are aliens, and as a result Thor orders his death before revealing that the Norse pantheon were invited "upon the wings of death itself."
O'Leary later tells Chris that Loki told O'Leary to tell Chris an answer to one of his questions: Necromancy. Chris realizes that the Death Camps were built not for "racial purification", but for human sacrifices to fuel magic. The captain also realizes that the Norse Gods were created by Necromancy due to Loki's admission that he is actually young. After realizing that he has gained superhuman powers from Loki, Chris attacks the guards and dies in an attempt to resist the Norse Gods after managing to destroy Odin's Spear. In doing so, he hopes that his actions will give hope to other heroes who will eventually rise up to overcome the Nazis.
Author's notes[edit]
In the author's notes for this story, David Brin records that he was invited by Gregory Benford to write a piece for an alternative history collection, entitled "Hitler Victorious", but voiced the opinion that he could not think of a single event which, if altered, would have let the Nazis win the war, and, contrariwise, that they had required a number of lucky breaks to get as far as they did. Benford's reply was "I bet you could think of some premise that would work, David". This story was the result.[6] Brin also notes in the afterwards of his story that he wrote this story as a possible explanation for why the Nazis "do so many horrible, pointless things".[7]

Testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) should be
done at the same time any
sexually transmitted disease (STD) is diagnosed, as
well as 3 months and 6 months after diagnosis.
If you have
syphilis, talk to your health professional about the
additional risk of being infected with HIV. It is very important that you be
tested for HIV.
The most effective treatment of HIV-positive individuals who also
have syphilis is currently under study. HIV infection makes it harder for
antibiotics to treat syphilis. This is why it is important to get checked again
after antibiotic treatment.
The genital sores caused by syphilis also make it easier to transmit
and acquire HIV infection. Areas of the United States that have the highest
rates of syphilis also have the fastest-growing HIV infection rates in
childbearing women.
