Another thread got me thinking about signalling. With the wide spread use of the VHF radio, this topic tends to get short shrift these days. After watching "The Perfect Storm" last night, and watching their SSB antenna carry away, I thought I'd post some thoughts.
Most yachts, after their VHF is kaput, are reduced to waving their arms. This is probably not the most effective form of communication available. Sound and light signals have long been used for this purpose. In fact, under the COLREGS, the use of the VHF does not relieve a vessel of sounding required signals. I'm not going to discuss flag signals as they are not practicable on most yachts. But, if you've got a suit of 'em, and more importantly need them, they are certainly effective.
The incident that brought proper signalling home to me was one involving professional mariners exclusively. I was Chief Mate in a vessel anchored off Little Creek, Virginia. We were shaping up for the shipyard and had previously off-loaded our cargo of military supplies with the exception of 1,500 tons of ammunition forward in No. 1 hold and 20,000 tons of JP-5 fuel carried in the double bottoms. We were awaiting a berth at Craney Island to off-load the fuel. I had just lain down in my bunk when I heard the danger signal being sounded on the ship's whistle. "Whistle" is probably a misnomer as it is an air-powered horn that can be heard for miles. I could hear it plenty well from my bunk, one deck below the bridge deck. I went running up to the bridge in my shorts to confront a beautiful moonlit night, virtual unlimited visibility, and the spectre of an SL-7 container ship(owned by the Navy but manned with merchant marine officers and crew)at a distance fo approximately a mile and on a course that would either collide with our bows, or pass close aboard and fouling our anchor rode. The Third Mate, on anchor watch, had been attempting to reach them for some time on the VHF radio. I immediately called the engine room and told them to get an engine on line, at which point the Captain arrived on the bridge. The Third Mate was dispatched to the bows to tend the anchor while I continued to attempt VHF contact. The Captain sounded the danger signal a number of times on the ship's whistle. There was no response and the vessel continued on what appeared a collision course. The Captain instructed the Third Mate to veer the chain. The Third Mate (an acomplished sailor) was green and proceeded to drop the starboard anchor. We now had 5 shots out on the port anchor and the starboard at short scope; a more effective fixing the vessel to her position could not be imagined! I would add that we were displaying the required anchor lights as well as deck illumination required by the COLREGs. The SL-7 never did respond and failed to clear our bow, stoving in about 15 foot of it. Fifty feet further aft and I might not be writing today. I vaguely recall remembering my Dutch mother's instructions on the wearing of clean underwear, although I didn't think it would have been of much consolation to either of us had things turned out differently!
At the Board of Inquiry the pilot was dismissed with no charges as he is held to be only an advisor to the Captain. The Captain of the SL-7's defense amazingly centered around our use of the danger signal. A careful reading of the COLREGs/Inland Rules reveals that the danger signal, five short blasts of approximately 1 second each, is used only when underway. This was sufficient to result in a "warning" being placed in the Master's file and no other action. Had the "allision" resulted in more serious consequences I doubt he would have gotten off so lightly.
The appropriate signal to have sounded would have been "Uniform". "U", in Morse Code, is two short followed by one long, and signifies, "You are standing in to danger". Lima or X-Ray could also have been reasonably used in the circumstance described.
The point to this long thread is that signalling is little understood, even, on occasion, by professionals. Nevertheless, it may be your only form of communication in a dire situation. Dire situations are not the time to be learning signals or acquainting one's self with their sending. The most obvious methods of signalling available to the yachtsman are sound and light. This is actually much easier than might be thought, you probably already have the gear on board. A compressed air horn, with spare cartridges, is sufficient for sound signalling. It should be borne in mind that the COLREGs desire a minimum of manoeuvering sound signals in restricted visibility so as to avoid confusion. Of course, this does not include the required signals sounded in restricted visibility. Restricted visibility is not fog only and the requirements do not end if you are out of the area of restriction but still near it. Light signalling can be accomplished with a large lens diametered flashlight. It will prove unsuitable, in most instances, for daylight signalling, unlike the signal/searchlights found on Navy and merchant ships. For night-time signalling it is excellent as it can be pointed in the direction desired. It should never be pointed toward the pilothouse of any vessel as a searchlight in an attempt to attract attention. This is against the regulations, although I have seen references to doing it in sailing magazines by those who should know better. You may wish to attract attention, but the attention you attract may be useless if you have destroyed the night vision of the attractee! Shine it up on your sail and flash it on and off. An item I strongly recommend, which is usually only carried by Naval vessels, is a colored lens for your signal light. Red works well, but can be confused with other lights. Amber is an excellent color or a version of orange. Colored plexiglass works for this and you can just tape it to the light without having to re-engineer your large flashlight. The purpose of this is for more effective signalling. You can attract another vessel's attention with a flashing white signal light, but it is difficult to read code off a white light at sea in the dark. You have to send your signal much more slowly or the glare will confuse the dots from the dashes. The amber color maintains visibility and is distinguishable and distinct in it's unique color.
The single letter signals, as well as multiple letter/number signals, and their method of transmission are found in the "International Code of Signals". Mine is a 1969 edition known as h.o. 102. I am sure it is still published, probably with the same 102 number, by whatever the latest name the old DMAHC is operating under today. It is a thin volume, 8x11 and 3/4 inch thick, and covers most all of which one needs for signalling, including radio procedures. Laminated cheat sheets are readily available but not a real substitute for the book. Mastery of morse code, while desirable in a perfect world, is not required and included in the book. I believe having the book, and a familiarity with it's contents, is sufficient for the sailor. Those moored in an anchorage with like minded sailors can become quite proficient over the course of a few evenings spent signalling each other across the water. Those more fanatical may be intirgued by the semaphore signalling instructions contained therein. Navy signalmen communicate, while alongside another vessel, by semaphore, without the flags, such important details as what kind of Captain they have, the quality of food, and the possibilities for sexual congress in the next port-all without anyone else, other than another signalman, knowing what they are saying.
As with navigation, there were ways that things were done before everything became possible with a $199 black box, and sometimes it is desirable to have a familiarity with those methods. When they become necessary to use it is usually an inappropriate time to learn them or wish the proper equipment was available. Alpha Romeo

Now that was funny! - by Bandit5906
you were clear the first time...maybe I wasn't - by GaryO
Let me be clear: the American founders did not romanticize war, because they knew what the consequences of perpetual war were, and it is very disturbing to refer to military casualties as sacrifices, as if they are to please a God of War of the state. - by Cannabal
Oh, I could make this all messy, so easy. But, just gonna say, I hope you and yours find comfort in those 'informed' words, Cannabal. We've risked our lives for you to express them…IF, you are a US citizen, or a friendly. No more replies from me on this. - by GaryO
That's right, boys and girls: if you sacrifice yourself to the military-industrial complex, the thugs of capitalism, and no-account tools called politicians, you, too, can get your own fancy gravestone. - by Cannabal

Madison Bumgarner endures tough time
Giants' 20-year-old lefty will begin season in minors after having an ineffective spring
Originally Published: April 2, 2010By Jorge Arangure Jr. | ESPN The Magazine
Nobody was surprised when the San Francisco Giants sent down Madison Bumgarner to the minor leagues this spring. Though greatly gifted, Bumgarner was never able to show the velocity and command that had made him such a coveted player in the Giants' farm system.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Bumgarner was considered the Giants' next great ace, the complement to Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain, which would give the Giants the most formidable rotation in the majors. Bumgarner was known to have ...

I am wondering why I can't get many videos to play from Plex on my Dish Hopper. Some work, some do not.
Example: If I "Plex It!" on this page (http://www.eliomotors.com/videos/) I get the first video added to my Plex queue. However, when I go to the list on my Hopper, the video has a '?' symbol, and it will not do anything.
This video () will play from my Plex queue on my Hopper, but it is squished on my 4:3 TV.
I saw another thread regarding a similar issue on a DirecTV box. I wonder if there is anything new on this, or some ideas on how to make things work.

Philadelphia public school students will be sitting in classes for an extra day in June, officials said Friday.
The final day of school is now June 18 for students and June 19 for staff, Philadelphia School District spokesman Fernando Gallard said. That's one day later than initially scheduled.
Snow closed schools three times this winter. Officials made the call to keep spring break in tact and add time in June, Gallard said.
Kristen Graham
The Philadelphia School District is projecting a budget of $2.9 billion next year — a forecast that banks on $264 million in new city and state money that is not assured.
The School Reform Commission was set to adopt a "lump sum" budget statement Thursday that would pump more money into city classrooms rocked in recent years by cuts. It would represent a 10 percent increase over last year's spending plan.
But the plan relies on $159 million in new money from the state and $105 million from the city, sums that have been proposed by Gov. Wolf and Mayor Nutter, respectively, but which would have to be approved by skeptical lawmakers.
Kristen Graham
The Philadelphia School Partnership has awarded $375,000 to four city schools - two public, one charter and parochial - to spur turnarounds, pay for training, and create supports.
Saints John Neumann and Maria Goretti Catholic High School is getting $150,000 for its turnaround planning, PSP said on Wednesday. Roxborough High will get $145,000 for a turnaround, Wissahickon Charter will receive $56,625 for leadership and teaching coaching, and the Workshop School, a project-based public school in West Philadelphia, is to get $23,200 for technology improvements and an academic intervention program.
To date, PSP has given out $35.8 million to city public, parochial, charter and independent schools. It says it has helped move 16,000 students into better educational opportunities.
Kristen Graham Inquirer Staff Writer
Education is the most important issue to Philadelphians - more important than crime, jobs and the economy, a new study released Monday by the Pew Charitable Trusts found.
City residents who had an opinion also overwhelmingly - by a four to one margin - favor eliminating the School Reform Commision, want an elected school board, and "have an extremely low opinion of the performance of the public school system."
Philadelphians are mixed on charters - they view them generally positively, but most back the idea of spending more money on traditional public schools instead of creating new charters.
Kristen Graham
HARRISBURG - Pennsylvania's system of funding education is broken, and the courts must order lawmakers to make it right, attorneys for school districts, parents and organizations who have sued the state told a panel of judges here Wednesday.
The suit - brought by school systems including the William Penn School District in Delaware county and parents including two from the Philadelphia School District - holds that Pennsylvania's education funding system is "irrational and inequitable."
Lawyers for the state told seven Commonwealth Court judges that Pennsylvania must only keep public schools open to meet its constitutional obligation.
Kristen Graham
Laying out his vision for the Philadelphia School District on Wednesday, William R. Hite Jr. said the school system must narrow its focus, think hard about equity, and even outsource some of the things it does now.
The superintendent wants to give full autonomy to the strongest district schools, and turn some struggling ones over to private providers who would run them on a contract basis.
The school system's main focus must be neighborhood schools, where the majority of its students are educated, Hite said.
Kristen Graham
The Philadelphia School District and its largest union are back at the negotiating table, the gulf between the two sides has widened, officials said.
Bill Green, who was recently ousted as School Reform Commission chairman in favor of Marjorie Neff, said he believes the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers has been emboldened by their strong ties to Gov. Wolf, and by his removal.
"Our negotiations with the PFT have gone backwards, not forward," Green said on Monday. "I'm afraid that they are getting encouragement for that intransigence by this action."
Kristen Graham
Gov. Wolf, in a stunning move, is stripping Bill Green of his chairmanship of the School Reform Commission.
Marjorie Neff will be the new chairwoman of the five-member governing body of the Philadelphia School District. Wolf will announce the move on Monday.
Green will fight the move in court.

What a fantastic place to stay. Very convenient to ski fields and Wanaka town itself only a few minutes drive away. Facilities are great and apartment is well laid out and allows loads of space. The hot pools are fantastic and our kids loved them. A terrific place to stay and we would highly recommend to anyone going to Wanaka.

Great apartment unfortunately the 'hot pools' were not hot or warm - a big disappointment considering we went there for the 'ten hot pools'. Feeling totally mis-led and even after complaining they heated a few spa pools warm to hottish so the big pools were not hot and one was mild ("semi-heated" they said at reception? what's that?). Seems that off season they turn down/off the heating and don't advise you so you still pay a premium, stay out of town and can't use the facilities.

ERISA plan sponsors, and employers more broadly, have been anxiously awaiting two rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court that they hope would clarify the ability to enforce class action waivers in arbitration agreements. Yesterday, the Court issued the first of these decisions in Oxford Health Plans LLC v. Sutter, a case in which Sutter alleged on behalf of himself and a class of health care providers that Oxford and other insurers had breached their contract and committed various state law violations. The Supreme Court determined that an arbitrator had interpreted the arbitration provision at issue as allowing class actions and thus there was no basis to conclude that the arbitrator had exceeded his powers.
Although the decision does not expressly address the underlying issues that employers and ERISA plan sponsors had hoped it would, the Court's decision may be most important for what was not said. In particular, the Court's decision to leave intact an arbitrator's ruling that allowed a class action to proceed in arbitration and not comment (or even suggest) that a prohibition on class action waivers would be inappropriate could be a signal that the Court would enforce an appropriately drafted arbitration agreement that requires the arbitration of all claims and, at the same time, precludes class action arbitrations. There remains hope that the Court will further address this issue in the second ruling expected by the end of the Court's term this month. That case is American Express Co. v. Italian Colors Restaurant and there the Court is expected to address in an anti-trust action whether a class action waiver is enforceable even if plaintiffs could demonstrate that the practical effect of enforcement would be to preclude them from vindicating their federal statutory rights. Stay tuned . . . .

Europe needs civic solidarity of the kind that Barack Obama built in the U.S. to restore trust in the Union and the euro
As we stare at the euro crisis, it is useful to mark the similarities and differences with America's response to the global economic crisis that hit home in October 2008. The "Yes-we-can" civic solidarity built by Barack Obama for America was crucial in the mobilisation to address the banking crisis. Trust personified by him was built by the combined impact of the moral overtones of fundraising for his campaign, the strategic "audacity of hope" of the American people to resurrect the economy and then by the emotions that brimmed over when the meek and humble turned up to vote on a cold day for an African-American President.
Obviously, the euro crisis is vastly different from the rude shock America woke up to. The specifics of a mutually reinforcing sovereign debt crisis and indebtedness of the banks in Europe are different from the situation where the Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan had grievously looked away as the bubble of dubious derivatives had bloated up. Nevertheless, there are similarities. Though the European problem has been dubbed a sovereign debt crisis because it has escalated to that, governments did not start it. Increase in debts in Spain and Italy before the recession in 2008 had little to do with governments.
Interest rates had fallen in southern European countries when they joined the euro and it was the private companies and mortgage borrowers that basked in the sunshine of loans. Their economies grew rapidly. A huge infusion of liquidity by means of unregulated derivatives in capital market banking — practically six times the value of primary collaterals — increased the risks banks were taking. The differences in competitiveness between European Union members played its part as Germany and Poland gained immensely from the excessive imports of southern countries, lubricated by derivatives-inflated loans from French banks. A debt-driven boom encountered global recession. Unable to adjust exchange rates in the face of external trade pressures, the less competitive countries suffered greater unemployment than the others. Their governments then tried to mitigate hardship by spending massively from their national budgets instead of reining in the huge risks banks were taking. Ultimately, any significant price shift in securitised debt created a major ripple effect ending in a demand for liquidity much faster than the banks could recapitalise by their earnings to pay up on demand.
Three points
To address the issues in the U.S., the "defaulters-pay" argument of the capitalist creed was tempered by the stakes of U.S. citizens in global assets dependent on the value of the dollar. Bailouts for banks were approved on the understanding that the free market would eventually have to redeem itself by proving it could drive success at the frontiers of new technologies to stimulate growth; till then, the banks were to be helped by taxpayers who were persuaded to do so, by extension of health care to them. It seemed a fair manoeuvre and there are glimmering signs of the economy turning. For Europe, it might be tempting to think in terms of shaking it out of a socialistic creed of overly benevolent welfare states by demanding more toil, tears and sweat from workers; for several reasons, this would be a charge in the wrong direction.
For one, it is difficult to say whether the problem in Europe is due to its soft states or its welfare orientation; the state has been far softer on companies and banks than common citizens. Second, we can't overlook the fact that the overall volume of trade within Europe has risen substantially ever since the union; someone must have worked to produce all that. Third, more national governments of northern Europe reneged on the convergence criteria of a public debt cap even before the recession hit them than from the south who piled up sovereign debt after the recession.
For resurgence of trust in a union and the euro, of the kind that happened in the U.S., people in Europe will also need not only strategic, but moral and emotional reasons to repose that trust. Their strategic reason cannot be simply the benefits from a common market. In the long march to the European Union, the rise to power of Solidarity in Poland and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990 was the defining moment. The Maastricht Treaty in 1992, with its several pillars and convergence criteria, sealed the union on the basis of the idea of tempering extreme forms of nationalism and securing an enduring peace after suffering a thousand years of frequent wars.
Distinct culture its strength
The motivation to take each other's interests into account while legislating and the will to a secular, not chauvinistic, foundation along with a belief in social justice, are not grounded in political alignments but in the idea of civic solidarity. Europe's strength is that the distinctiveness of its culture is to be found no longer in a Christian political formation but in civic consciousness at the level of its towns, cities and islands. The yen for peace and the moral moorings of voters in Greece prompted them on June 17, 2012, to vote for repaying loans to stay with the euro. But the emotions aroused by human suffering due to worsening unemployment cannot be overlooked and the pound of flesh has to be cut without spilling a drop of blood.
Unfortunately, this does not seem likely. The pledges at G-20 by many countries to shore up the capital with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to help in the euro crisis were disappointing. Neither was the problem of the volatility in currencies addressed nor can the tinkering by IMF, in tandem with the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), to try and impose the strict conditionality of gradual reduction in debt-GDP ratio, help matters much. The funds available with ESM are a meagre €500 billion. Bending the rule that only governments can borrow from it to allow banks to borrow directly is not a healthy development; long-term refinancing operations with banks, like has been done twice before, ought to be undertaken by the European Central Bank, not ESM.
If the European Central Bank does not stand behind the euro, who does? Another option, of further lowering of interest rates by the European Central Bank, sounds promising, but since confidence has been eroded in the south, the greater gainers would be in the competitive north where loans would be more freely given by banks. The idea of floating eurobonds, or pooling of European debt, appears to be the only way out. Yes, Germany would have to accept higher interest rates than otherwise while the southern countries enjoy lower rates than they face now, but Germany is also the greatest beneficiary of trade within the EU and should bear the burden.
Instead of refusing to consider it because Germany thinks it is dangerously close to monetary financing of the member states which is prohibited by the treaty governing the euro, German Chancellor Angela Merkel needs to say "Yes, we can." That would generate a trust among the Europeans, not just their governments, that their lives, not paper treaties, count for far more in the Union.

When a Regional Director of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) found that scholarship football players at Northwestern University were employees entitled to vote on union representation, many media reports treated the case as a victory for the union. But as one Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra said, "It ain't over 'til it's over." The union scored first, but the game has not been decided.
On April 9, 2014, Northwestern requested a review of the decision by the NLRB, arguing that the players are students, rather than employees, and relying on prior NLRB decisions holding that graduate students were not employees. According to Northwestern, the Regional Director's decision "was flawed because it overlooked or ignored key evidence that Northwestern presented showing that its student-athletes are primarily students, not employees." Predictably, the union disagreed: "Northwestern's entire position in this case is a castle built on sand."
Northwestern's arguments based on previous decisions affecting graduate students may not be well-received by the NLRB, which currently has strong pro-union leanings and often discards its own precedents.
The election is set for April 25, 2014. Scholarship football players who have eligibility remaining may vote. The face of the union, former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter, has exhausted his eligibility and will not be able to vote. Many former players and alumni oppose the union, and appear to have some support among current players.
Elections do not often end the matter; if the eligible voters reject the union, the union might accuse Northwestern of unfair labor practices—a matter to be decided by the NLRB and perhaps the courts.
If the union wins the election, Northwestern could challenge the result by declining to bargain with the union—a "technical refusal to bargain"—to draw an unfair labor practice charge under Section 8(a)(5) of the National Labor Relations Act. The NLRB typically rejects the employer's arguments in defense of a technical refusal to bargain, but an adverse decision by the NLRB can be reviewed by a federal appellate court that may be more receptive to Northwestern's arguments based on NLRB precedent.
The decision in the Northwestern case directly affects only private universities that grant football scholarships, and factual differences may limit the application of the Northwestern decision. Among such private universities, there is likely to be wide variation in the time commitment required of football players and in the nature and extent of university control.
Public universities are not subject to NLRB jurisdiction, but are subject to state laws. Ohio's legislature has responded with proposed legislation to nip any treatment of scholarship athletes as employees in the bud. Ohio House Bill 483 provides that athletes are not university employees. The relevant provision, section 3345.56, reads: "a student attending a state university . . . is not an employee of the state university based upon the student's participation in an athletic program offered by the state university."
Seasoned labor lawyers immediately reacted to such legislation by invoking the hallowed principle of "preemption" and arguing that federal labor law almost always displaces state law. However, for public universities, such legislation would be effective in defining employment status and the inapplicability of state laws governing unemployment compensation, occupational health and safety, workers' compensation, derivative state liability based on employees' acts or omissions, and other matters.

Marseille - Former All Black star Jonah Lomu has claimed more than 550 000 euros in backpay and damages from his one-time French club Stade Phoceen, his lawyer explained to the labour relations board on Wednesday.
Lomu played for Stade when they were known as Marseille-Vitrolles in 2009, competing in the Federale 1 (third) division.
The New Zealander was 34 years old at the time and, at the tail end of his career, only played a few games for the club, which has since gone into administration.
Lomu's lawyer, Assia Bennezzar, said the former wing's complaint had been filed on October 30 and went before the labour relations board on Wednesday.
Regarded as rugby union's first global superstar, Lomu rose to prominence with his devastating performances in the 1995 Rugby World Cup and also played a major part in New Zealand's 1999 campaign.
He still holds the record for most tries at the World Cup, with 15 in total, and scored 37 tries in 63 Tests for New Zealand before illness eventually cut short his playing career.
Lomu was diagnosed in 1995 with the rare kidney disorder nephrotic syndrome and underwent a transplant in 2004, receiving an organ donated by friend and New Zealand radio broadcaster Grant Kereama.
But he revealed last month that that donated kidney had failed and he needed a new transplant. He was later admitted to hospital to undergo dialysis treatment before being released.

Re: Bilge pump non return valve.
Also just came across this from Rule:
"The Rule Pumps FAQs.
Can I install a check valve on the pump discharge?
Check valves are not recommended
Why doesn't Rule Pumps want check valve on the pump's discharge?
Check valves are prohibited by the American Boat & Yacht Council for use as an anti-siphon device-and with good reason: They're notorious for failing in both the open and the closed position, which respectively leads to flooding or failure to pump. If the valve is close to the pump, the pump may not be able to overcome the weight of the water on the other side of the valve, rendering the pump ineffective
Why does my automatic Rule Pumps turns off if I install a check valve on the discharge of the pump?
The automatic bilge pump turns on about every two and a half minutes to "check" for high water. If water causes resistance on the pump, it continues to pump until the resistance lowers. With the check valve installed at the pump, it cant feel the weight of the water, and shuts off, allowing the bilge to fill with water!"
They must have read my mind....

Humane Society of the United States
|Humane Society of the United States
|Wayne Pacelle
|Year created:
The Humane Society of the United States was originally started in 1954 as the National Humane Society. It was started by a group of members that broke away from the American Humane Association over a dispute involving the use animals from the pound and local animal shelters in private biomedical research. As a result, the HSUS's first legislative action was to regulate animal experimentation and advocate for humane slaughter. Co-founder Fred Myers said, "every individual person, and particularly everyone who endorses the use of animals in research, has a moral obligation to know the facts and to do all that can be done to protect the animals from preventable suffering."[3]
The HSUS is led by President Wayne Pacelle. The group is run by Parcelle, along with other members of the executive team and the Board of Directors.[4]
The Humane Society lists their issues on their website. They are as follows:[5]
- Fur
- Animal cruelty and fighting
- Factory farming
- Wildlife abuse
- Wildlife management
- Captive wildlife
- Threats to wildlife
- Pet protection
- Animals in laboratories
- Equine protection
- Animal rescue
- Opposition
2014 elections
The Humane Society worked with several other groups to collect enough signatures to place a Michigan wolf hunting referendum on the November 2014 ballot. The referendum would ban wolf hunting in Michigan.[6]
2012 elections
The Humane Society spent a total of $419,000 in the 2012 election cycle. The breakdown by category is as follows:[7]
- $239,000 in contributions to candidates
- $10,000 in contributions to leadership PACs
- $12,500 in contributions to parties
- $170,000 in contributions to outside spending groups

Even in tennis, I would like the rounds of 64 & 32 played at a host, then the 16 & 8 played at another, then the final four be at the championship site where the singles and doubles tournaments are. I'm sure it would get more attention to tv if it were more isolated and concrete. Realistically, OU could even start the singles and doubles the day of the finals with players not represented in the championship.
I'm all for that. The 16 and 8 round should be at different sites. Let the college sports fans have a chance to see college tennis at its finest in more places. No need to stay holed up in one place for two weeks.
A tennis final four would have more meaning as well.

Cutting diet/keeping up with calories
Cutting diet/keeping up with calories
I need a little advice from you guys that have ran affective cutting diets and training programs. I understand calorie deficit is pretty much the one way road to getting shredded but my question is how in the hell can you determine how many calories you have used in a day. I mean there are so many different factors in play. I don't want to calorie deficit and hurt my gains due to the fact I work my ass off in extreme heat all day before the gym. How could I determine how many calories I use a day to in turn ensure how many would be the right amount to take in??

Try the "my fitness pal" app. It's not gonna be 100% spot on, but it's decent.
I'm aware of that app. But the thing is that app can't tell me how many calories I'm actually burning while at work and throughout the day. That app only tells me what's going in

I would have to know because if im burning way too many calories throughout the day versus what I take in than it will drastically affect my muscles and I will lose muscle mass. I understand anybody has to sacrifice some muscle mass but I want to do a proper cutting cycle. I don't feel like I'm overthinking it at all I feel like to get the best out of cutting or bulking the more precise you are the better your results...
Let's say hypothetically I take in 4000 calories a day and I want to cut. So I work my way down to 2700 calories. That might be the perfect thing for someone that works in an office or inside or just for some individuals. But there are other factors than that. Let's say a roofer who competes on the side was doing a cutting cycle. Obviously the roofer would have to take in more calories during the day to maintain and probably should take in more carbs in his cutting diet versuses someone who is sedentary all day long. So in my personal situation, I work in a tyvek body suit sweating my ass off in temperatures up to 125 sometimes for 8 hours a day. Half the damn cutting diets I've seen I know if I tried I would fall out in the middle of the day. So this is why I want to know.
The calculators are really just an educated guess.
The way you determine your caloires is by keeping a food jounal (like my fitness pal). I assume currently you are eating enough calories to sustain your current weight correct? If so you track your food intake for a few days and then average it for you maintenance. If you see yourself gaining weight then scale back the calories.
Nothing is really exact bud. It is all really like self experimentation

5. August 2014: Megascale icebergs run aground: Finding the deepest iceberg scours to date provides new insights into the Arctic's glacial past
Bremerhaven, August 5, 2014. Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), have found between Greenland and Spitsbergen the scours left behind on the sea bed by gigantic icebergs. The five lineaments, at a depth of 1,200 metres, are the lowest-lying iceberg scours yet to be found on the Arctic sea floor. This finding provides new understanding of the dynamics of the Ice Age and the extent of the Arctic ice sheet thousands of years ago. In addition, the researchers could draw conclusions about the export of fresh water from the Arctic into the North Atlantic. The AWI scientists have published their findings in the online portal of the scientific journal Geophysical Research Letters.
"Whenever icebergs run aground, they leave scours on the seabed. Depending on their depth and location, those markings may continue to exist over long periods of time," explained Jan Erik Arndt, AWI bathymetrician and lead author for this paper.
It is traces exactly like this that he, together with three colleagues at AWI, discovered on the Hovgaard Ridge. The Hovgaard Ridge is a plateau in the deep Arctic Sea, located a good 400 kilometres off of Greenland's eastern coast. Found at a depth of 1,200 metres the five lineaments are the deepest iceberg scours found to date in the Arctic. The scours are as much as four kilometres long and 15 metres in depth. "Such scours are a window into the past. Thanks to these iceberg scours we now know that a few very large, but also many smaller icebergs, passed across the Hovgaard Ridge," the scientist said.
The discovery of the scours on Hovgaard Ridge was fortuitous and by no means the result of a defined search. Jan Erik Arndt and his colleagues discovered the lineaments when examining bathymetric data from the year 1990. The data were collected by the research ship Polarstern while preparing cartography for the Fram Strait. "When we examined the data once again and in greater detail, we became aware of the scours. Given their depth, it quickly became clear that we had found something very interesting," says Jan Erik Arndt.
The scientists today work with better hardware and software than what was available in the 1990s. This new technology allows closer scrutiny of the old data. That is why the scours have surfaced on the scientists' monitors only now, 24 years after the data were collected.
The scientists can, however, only roughly bracket the period within which the icebergs scoured the ridge crest. It is clear, however, that it must have taken place within the past 800,000 years. Since sea level during the glacial period was a good 120 metres lower than today, the icebergs reached to a depth of at least 1,080 metres below sea level. Since about a tenth of an iceberg will, as a rule, be exposed, AWI scientists estimate the height of the iceberg to be roughly 1,200 metres – about three times the height of the Empire State Building. "To calve such megascale icebergs, the edge of the ice sheet covering the Arctic Ocean must have been at least 1,200 metres thick," Jan Erik Arndt notes.
Today scientists search in vain for such megascale icebergs. "We currently find the largest icebergs in the Antarctic. The very biggest reach only 700 metres below the water's surface," noted the bathymetrician. One remaining riddle is the birthplace of the massive icebergs that scraped Hovgaard Ridge. The AWI scientists suggest that two areas off the northern coast of Russia are the most likely sites.
The researchers are interested in these scours not only because of the size of the icebergs. The traces have caused a flare up in the old discussion about how fresh water was transported from the Arctic and into the Atlantic Ocean. In the past, some scientists assumed that thick sea ice was primarily responsible for fresh water export from the Arctic. The newly discovered scours, however, support another hypothesis: Large icebergs drifted southward through the Fram Strait, carrying large volumes of frozen fresh water into the North Atlantic.
Numerous studies make the increased imports of fresh water responsible for the end of North Atlantic deep water formation at the close of the last ice age. As a consequence, the Gulf Stream ebbed, making for drastic cooling in Europe. Since the currents in the Atlantic are an important engine, driving the global system of circulation, the effects were perceived around the world. "The fact that icebergs of this order of magnitude were driven from the Arctic is clear evidence that icebergs played a more serious role in freshwater imports than what we had previously assumed," Jan Erik Arndt concludes.

Today the biggest icebergs are found in Antarctic waters. Their bodies reach a water depth up to 700 metres, which means that they are much smaller than those massive giants that left the newly discovered marks on the Hovgaars Ridge. (Photo: Frank Rödel, Alfred-Wegener-Institut)

Dithranol up to 2% in hospital treatment I have had Dithranol as an ointment pre-mixed by the hospital pharmacy for three times now during my stays in the dermatology dept. of an university hospital in imy home country Germany. They do the short-time variation of the therapy over here, which means that the Pso lesions are treated with Dithranol in the morning. A fixed time of 20 minutes later, I used to shower away the stuff, follwed by application of skin care stuff. The strength of the dithranol is increased every 2 days: you start with 0.1%, then 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2%. Dithranol is a medication that proved very effective in fighting my Pso. I can tolerate the more potent concentrations of it, while I heard from many people they had to end the therapy with less powerful ones. It is not very expensive and keeps its strength. There are no know side effects inside the body. This is balanced by two of the disadvantages of dithranol: It cures the lesions, but if applied too much to the healthy skin, it will make it look like you have a nasty sunburn around the lesion. It also seems to be a rather potent colorant. Which means you should do the therapy with the stronger concentration with an own set of (old) clothes in order to avoid nasty stains in a characteristic brown-purple color everywhere on the closet's content. Those last for years of doing laundry... Dithranol is well-known since around 1920. It is one of my favourite therapies because it works so very good for me. But I would prefer some other therapies for home use.

Some claim the keel stepped masts allow for greater tuning and hence better speed than the deck stepped sister-ships. However, our deck stepped version seems to be as fast as our neighboring sister-ship with the keel stepped version (we have the same I & P measurements) when we are both flying the same sails and we and our neighbor seem to have equal skill managing/racing the yacht. In either case, the yachts are very fast compared with yachts of similar size. We both tend to walk away from the fleet following the start of a race and are well away by the 1st mark such that we essentially raced one another. Our neighbor now has his boat in Trinidad, having sailed her down last year, so we are without competition.

Inter Milan are chasing Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky.
The Italian champions are long-term admirers of the Arsenal midfielder and believe they can test Arsene Wenger's resolve to hang on to a player who has suffered continual injury problems during his 18 months at Emirates Stadium.
Inter enquired about Rosicky's availability during the summer when they were touting Brazilian striker Adriano to various Premier League clubs, says the Daily Mail.
The Serie A leaders wanted Adriano to go out on loan to Arsenal and exchange him for Rosicky, who they have targeted as an eventual replacement for Luis Figo.
That offer was rejected but the Italians hope Arsene Wenger could be persuaded by another bid - of £10 million - for a player who has been hampered by hamstring, groin, thigh and ankle injuries during his spell in London.

Bugs: Cure Ground Mission
First off the collumn you have to scan before you can start the transformers wont pop up the option to scan without a lot of jumping around right next to it.
Then the first ground turret would not come down at all after 6 attempts. We got it almost down to zero but at soon as the cover shields popped up even with a clear shot we did no damage and it healed back to full.
So we skipped it and went on to the second set of transformers. The high health of the turrets even on normal made it impossible to split up and cover the transformers from workers with both turrets firing at us. We almost got the shield down but by then only one person was left alive at the last transformer and workers got the first one down. That was the closest we got.
Cure ground normal feels too much like an elite mission. The turrets need to be fixed. They are far too tough even with 5 players laying into them and even then wont go down at all.

Hello Local Business Owners! Yova is getting ready to introduce our line of Bubble Tea (aka Boba Tea) this weekend!! If you haven't had it, its time to try something new - you can add it to your favorite smoothie (my personal favorite is the Lemonade Chiller with the Strawberry Popping Bubbles), or add it as a FroYo topping.
We are also introducing a few more tea options; Thai Iced Tea (sweet with a softer 'chai' taste to it) and a new concept of customizing your own flavored hot or iced teas.
Things are changing and I hope you'll find some time to stop in , check us out and offer any suggestions on how we can better serve the community!!
Thanks for reading ;)
Hello Everyone,
Just getting started here on, Live Here Oak Park. Just wanted to say hello to fellow small business owners and let you know about my company. I co-own an online custom printed apparel company. If you are looking for some t-shirts to help market your company or have a need for quality business shirts, check us out online: www.mrcreativitee.com.
We also have a Free T-Shirt give-a-way going on for 10 free printed shirts. Check out our Facebook page if you are interested.
I look forward to participating in the Live Here community!
Dave I can't figure out how to respond to you. Online vs in store vs. serving to go vs packaged products all get different tax rates . . .
You don't charge tax to someone who is purchasing your product on-line from a different state unless you have a retail outlet in that state.
You are responsible for the tax rates - have that accountant in place before you sell your first cup o tea. It will be a lot easier to have that accountant in place at the get go - so that you can reference it at your first audit. :) And yep - they audit.
Hello everyone! Even though it feels like Summer is far, far away, Yova is getting into the Summer Spirit with our $1.00 FroYo Promotion. Every Sunday our 5oz FroYo is only $1.00!
We are also planning our first Art Event for the weekend of June 4-5. Any suggestions on how to create a fun, exciting and successful event?
Good to hear Brian! Please stop in and vote on which blend you like the best!!
Hey everybody this is a great deal and a great chance to update your head shot. I know I need one, getting a photo without my son's ear in it is probably a great idea
Hi Everyone,
I know I sent a message to everyone, but I thought I would repost on this wall. Yova Coffee Shop is in need of more artwork/photos done by local artists/photographers. If you or someone you know would be interested in displaying and selling their pieces, please feel free to contact me directly at email@example.com. Also - if the St. Patty's Day spirit moves you tomorrow please stop in for a Shamrock Jubilee Shake!!!!

I have a lot of games I liked, but two of my favorites are Soldier of Fortune II, which I play WAY too much, and Allegiance, an online spaceship sim-type game that noone here has probably heard of.
Allegiance was without a doubt my favorite game ever. But since it wasn't popular, the online support fell apart.
Also, for nostalgia sake, FFVII. Best game ever created.

Tachyon: The fringe.
This was the biggest suprise in my gaming life by far! Bruce the man Campbell is the main character voice over and he is friggn hilarious. It is the typical space pirate turning for the greater good in a quest to save civilization but the story and flight design are fantastic, it is just enough yet not too much.
If you can still get your hands on a copy it has a serious loyal following with seasoned pilots that are incredible to just hange back and watch in a dog fight.
I am still waiting for a solid F1 game
June 28th, 2004 #12
Cool. I like the all the games mentioned. Anybody remember "It came from the desert" on the old Amiga system? I loved that game, shooting giant ants and crap! :machinegu
A thought....I;ve noticed this about game lately. Games used to be much harder... Think about it, most old games required you to have super fast eye to hand reflexes, you only had 1 type of gun, 3 lives and one hit would kill you. Most of the games you play now, you have a health bar, a ton of weapons and can save the game at least 3 times a level. Thank god for online gaming or we would all suck! LOL!

Glad to see Baldurs Gate 2 Popping up so much, guess what mine starts with then
Baldur's Gate 2, especially Including TOB
Diablo 2
Age of Empires 2
Warcraft 3
Chrono Trigger
Unreal Tournament
And then Theres all the Half life Mods which i no longer really enjoy
Earth Special Forces Half Life mod
Natural Selection
Ofcourse CS, but now makes me shudder to think about it
I'm currently playing through Planescape torment and loving it although i dont think its fair to put it on until i have had a chance to reflect and let it mature in my brain, like a fine cheese.
