Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
With many employers setting aside budgets for specific projects, working on a temporary or interim assignment can be a great way to end up with a full-time position. During the interim period it's important to show the company that you're irreplaceable, writes WSJ's Melissa Korn. Additionally, Ms. Korn recommends that employees tell supervisors right away about their intentions in obtaining a permanent spot?
Here, Ms. Korn shares more advice on how to end up in a full-time role.
As the economy eases into recovery mode, more companies are temporarily filling holes in their work forces before making permanent hiring decisions these days. But with the right moves, a temporary employee can make that job permanent.
Job searching online can make you susceptible to unexpected pitfalls. Some companies can see if you're frequently re-submitting your resume, and others can track your cover letters for every position to instantly pick out any discrepancies — especially if you refer to each position as your "dream job," writes WSJ's Sarah E. Needleman. Applying for every posting despite your qualifications is another common problem. Filling out an online application online may only take a few minutes, but the practice can annoy company recruiters.
Here, Ms. Needleman shares more advice on common mistakes when job hunting online:
There's been no shortage of warnings about the career dangers of posting racy content on sites like Facebook and Twitter. Yet many job hunters still don't heed that advice, and others don't realize they're doing just as much damage by doing things like bending the truth or spamming their résumés. Recruiters say such faux-pas can result in immediate and lasting career damage.
"You're going to be remembered—and not in a positive way," says Colleen McCreary, chief people officer for Zynga Game Network Inc., a San Francisco developer of social games including FarmVille. "Recruiters move around a lot from company to company, and that can carry on with them for a long period of time."
Understanding how the hiring process works can give you a leg up on the competition. For one, it can help you see the intent of each interview and give you a better idea of how to prepare for each round, writes WSJ's Sarah E. Needleman. If you're asked to do a second phone interview after an initial screening, but don't quite understand why, it's important to know that hiring managers will make "a second call before scheduling an on-site meeting to dig deeper," writes Ms. Needleman.
Here, Ms. Needleman reports on what goes on behind the scenes when you apply for a job:
Many employers start filling vacancies below the executive level by using a team of recruiters or human-resources personnel to weed out applications that fail to meet a job's basic qualifications. "They should only be removing candidates who are a clear miss," says Peter Leech, chief marketing officer for Onlineshoes.com, a small Seattle e-commerce company.
Having good relationships with recruiters can make it easier to find a new role. But keeping in touch with a busy recruiter can be difficult. To continue the relationship, it's important to convey the value of your experience, say experts.
"It needs to be a win-win relationship from beginning to end," explains Jason Hersh, managing partner of recruiting firm Klein Hersh International, a member firm of the MRINetwork.
Here, Mr. Hersh gives advice on maintaining recruiter relationships.
How can a candidate begin to build a relationship with an executive recruiter?
Just like approaching an employer, make sure that you aren't blindly sending resumes to recruiters who don't work with candidates in your field. Unlike employers, recruiters often share resumes with each other, and a poor approach to a recruiter could have repercussions far beyond just that one submission. Candidates should do some due diligence to find executive recruiters that specialize directly in the industry and/or discipline that he or she currently works in. When a recruiter who specializes in your industry calls, there should be an open conversation regarding insight and referrals, even if the executive isn't actively looking in the marketplace.
What common mistakes do candidates make when trying to build a relationship with a recruiter?
Sometimes candidates' expectations on timing can be misaligned, especially if the recruiter doesn't specialize in their industry or discipline. While you are working closer with a recruiter than you would a hiring manager, don't cross the line. Don't contact them just for an update; make sure you have more to contribute to the job search as well.
How important is the rapport that a senior-level job hunter builds with a recruiter?
One primary advantage you have from working with a search consultant is that you will have the opportunity to be more open and honest about your situation and seek advice for how to present it to employers. A recruiter will be able to help you better explain touchy subjects, like being laid off, leaving a job or extended unemployment.
Liz Ricossa, was a corporate lawyer at Freshfield Bruckhaus Deringer LLP in London until June 2009. Ms Ricossa, 29, was previously a lawyer at Allens Arthur Robinson, Sydney. She earned a Bachelor of Laws and International Business at Queensland University of Technology and is currently completing a Masters in Media and Communications at the University of Sydney (part-time, externally). Ms Ricossa now lives with her husband in New York.
As a new resident with no prior U.S. work history, I was surprised by the subtle cultural differences I would need to overcome to tackle the job-hunting process.
I quickly learned that job hunting consisted of more than just relying on recruiters. My prior job in the U.K. had required little effort aside from securing a decent recruiter and then ensuring that I emailed and telephone stalked them regularly for job leads. The U.K. market is generally so reliant upon the use of recruiters that some companies only accept applications that have been previously vetted by a professional.
Initially, I became disheartened, especially when my family questioned why I wasn't hearing back from recruiters. However, after reading several career Web sites, I soon realized the lack of formal structure in the U.S. job hunt and that I could not rely on a recruiters alone. That meant plucking up the courage to "sell myself" to companies directly. After overcoming the initial shock, I realized that having such control over my search could be a very liberating experience. It soon became obvious that obtaining work would be just as much about "who you know" as well as your skills. Unlike in the U.K., my job search could not be based from my living room, I had to go out and meet people. I was soon shocked that the direct and open attitude of Americans also transpired to networking for jobs.
Just because you lost your job doesn't mean you need to land in the same role you left behind. Instead, it's possible to use your resume to craft a compelling story for your career transition, writes Elizabeth Garone in the most recent installment of Resume Doctor. Here, Ms. Garone asks three experts to weigh in and improve the below job seeker's resume.
• The Job Seeker: Mark Peterson, 47, of Woodbury, Minn., was laid off in July from a senior project manager/sales position at a small commercial-construction company where he had worked for 19 years. Though he was hired in November as a senior project manager for a rival firm, the contract job is commission-based and doesn't include medical or other benefits. He says the position is unlikely to yield a salary anywhere close to his prior annual income of around $125,000.
• The Objective: Mr. Peterson is seeking a mid- to senior-level executive position in facilities management. Mr. Peterson would like to stay in the Minneapolis metro area and is seeking a minimum annual salary of $85,000, significantly lower than his previous salary but on par with what he expects in the current economy. If the economy were to improve, he says he would be looking for $100,000 to $125,000.
"Any company that has a large campus or multiple buildings to manage could work well for me," he says.
For many employers, presenting a resume with too much experience can cost you the job. To get your foot in the door, it's important to present a streamlined resume to potential employers. When constructing a resume, job seekers should "consider reducing emphasis on or eliminating impressive achievements which might be viewed as outside the needs of the current job, along with removing more high-level awards and recognitions," Joyce K. Reynolds, an executive business coach, says. Here, Ms. Reynolds shares advice on how job seekers can streamline their resume.
How do people with many years of experience streamline their resume?
One of the most effective ways to 'streamline' a resume is simply present a bullet point list showing skills and areas of expertise in a category at the head of the resume, [instead] of using high-powered language to describe prior responsibilities inside each job description. It's better to show more relevant, rudimentary skills up front on the list when using this technique. Titles can be more modestly stated; areas of expertise should not be omitted. Using more basic, direct and low-key language in the resume can also be helpful. Backing down from 'led' to 'handled,' for example, presents modesty and de-emphasizes what might be an unsuitable level of prior responsibility or present the candidate as over-qualified. While perhaps more modestly stating prior positions, it is not smart to downgrade one's experience. It will come off as dishonest.
Can simplifying a resume attract employers?
Carefully and honestly done, there is no harm in simplifying a resume in order to get in the door. But any distortion of the facts is unwise and unethical. Hiring professionals are smart enough to quickly see through that kind of dishonesty. In fact, it's often better to be open about the possibility of being over-qualified. When approached directly by the candidate, this issue can be more easily mitigated with reasonable follow-through statements. For example: selling the value of their experience to potential teammates and the organization; indicating that they'd like to return to a more 'hands-on' situation, would enjoy learning in new areas; or are seeking a less stressful position.
With so many qualified professionals still seeking work, even the slightest misstep can cause you the job, writes the Journal's Joann S. Lublin. During the screening process, it's best to pay attention to even the smallest details — think through potential cultural differences, be aware of eye contact, and avoid rambling replies. Keep in mind that anxiety about being out of a job for a long period of time can also add to the potential for mistakes.
Here, Ms. Lublin gives advice on how to avoid small interview errors:
Here's an important New Year's resolution for job hunters: Sweat the small stuff.
Minor missteps can derail your search. With U.S. joblessness still rampant, numerous hiring managers are knocking applicants out of the running over the slightest mistake.
While contacting recruiters during the week between Christmas and New Years may seem like a wasted effort, there are plenty of other ways you can build up connections for the job search. Attending holiday parties or speaking with family and friends about your search can help build your network during this time, writes WSJ's Sarah E. Needleman. It's also a great time to reconnect with contacts with a quick holiday card.
Here, Ms. Needleman shares advice on job hunting over the holidays.
Learning from criticism can be especially helpful in your job search or consulting opportunity. In these situations, getting honest feedback from recruiters or hiring managers is rare, so it's important to use all opportunities to find out how to improve. WSJ's Alexandra Levit tells readers to put themselves out there, and "learn to listen carefully, accept constructive criticism, and look for ways to grow from it."
Here, Ms. Levit shares advice on how to cope with job criticism:
Putting yourself out there — in your career or otherwise — means that some criticism is bound to come your way. What's really important, though, is not what is said but how you cope with it.
Some people pretend it's not happening. Others deny responsibility or respond by being defensive. People with the most successful careers, however, learn to listen carefully, accept constructive criticism, and look for ways to grow from it.

Looks like Amazon is going after the .author domain.
A top level domain is the stuff you see at the end of a website link – like .com, .co.uk, .org. ICANN, the ones in charge of this kind of thing, are allowing companies to apply for new TLDs, and there's something of a rush on them right now. I'm glad Amazon is getting this, though still wary. Mostly I'm just happy that AuthorHouse or any of the big publishers aren't getting it.
Here's a few others:
No one's applied for .writer yet. I wonder if there's an opportunity there?

Our versatile defender endured mixed fortunes in his nation's tournament opener against Algeria earlier this week, recovering well from a first half penalty decision that went against him to help the Red Devils ensure they didn't concede a second goal.
As he prepares for his country's second match in Group H, kick-off 5pm, the 27-year-old says he's aware of Russia's strengths.
"They are always very good technically, physically as well," he said.
"They have a European style and they always do well. They will have players from a very strong Russian league and they could make an impact in the group."
Mousa Dembele and Nacer Chadli could also feature against Russia, with Belgium's third group match against South Korea still to come on Thursday.

The Guilderland wrestling team represented Section II well at Saturday's Mahopac Invitational outside Newburgh.
The Dutchmen had eight wrestlers finish in the top six of their weight classes and placed sixth out of 15 teams, most of which were from Section I. Middletown took the team title with 264.5 points, while Guilderland finished with 129 points.
"It was not a bad tournament," said Guilderland coach Don Favro. "It was interesting to see some teams we've never heard of before."
Lightweight Josh LoGiudice was the lone individual champion for Guilderland. LoGiudice defeated Fox Lane's Brandon Fay 8-0 in the 106-pound finals to continue his strong season.
Mike Lainart and Andy Cummings reached the finals of their weight classes. Lainart lost to Byram Hills' Jon Errico 11-0 in the 120-pound championship bout, while Cummings was pinned by North Babylon's Rodney Green in the 170-pound final.
Brian Knodler (145 pounds) placed third for Guilderland, while Elijah Clemente (152) and Colton White (182) were among the group of five Dutchmen who finished between fourth and sixth place in their weight classes.
Guilderland's focus shifts to the Section II tournaments, which begin next weekend with the Class A championships.
"I would say we are on target to wrestle our best at Sectionals," said Favro. "Things are coming together just like we planned."
LoGiudice and Lainart -- both of whom reached last year's state tournament -- are considered to be among the top contenders in their weight classes entering Sectionals.
"Josh, we feel, should win the section," said Favro. "Mike will have a tougher road, but we think he can do it."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sailing Sailing Sail on a small ship as seen from below History Throughout history sailing has been instrumental in the development of civilization. The earliest representation of a ship under sail appears on an Egyptian vase from about 3500 B.C.[1] Advances in sailing technology from the Middle Ages onward enabled Arab, Chinese, Indian and European explorers to make longer voyages into regions with extreme weather and climatic conditions. Improvements were made in the design of sails, masts and rigging, and navigational equipment became more sophisticated. From the 15th century onwards, European ships went further north, stayed longer on the Grand Banks and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and eventually began to explore the Pacific Northwest and the Western Arctic.[2] Wooden sailing boat Sailing is the art of controlling a boat with large (usually fabric) foils called sails. By changing the rigging, rudder, and dagger or centre board, a sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails in order to change the direction and speed of a boat. Mastery of the skill requires experience in varying wind and sea conditions, as well as knowledge concerning sailboats. Current use While there are still some places in Africa and Asia where sail-powered fishing or transport vessels are used these craft become rare as outboard and modified car engines become available even in the poorest and most remote areas. In most countries people enjoy sailing as a recreational activity. Recreational sailing or yachting can be divided into racing and cruising. Furthermore use of sailboats can be divided into long-distance sailing (also blue-water sailing or offshore sailing) and daysailing. The Physics of Sailing Introduction A sailing vessel moves forward because of the reaction of moving air on its sails. Since the dawn of history this vital technology has afforded mankind greater mobility and capacity for fishing, trade and warfare. From moving the stones of the great pyramids from Aswan to Giza to allowing man to migrate throughout Polynesia to Nelson's defeat of the French and Spanish navies at the Battle of Trafalgar, mankind's history has been intertwined with this seemingly simple technology. Energy capture 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sailing direction perpendicular to both opposing forces. Depending on the efficiency of the rig, the angle of travel relative to the true wind can be as little as 35 degrees to over 80 degrees. This angle is called the tacking angle [1]. With a 35 degree tacking angle on either side of the wind, it is possible for a sailboat to sail directly over 290 degrees of the compass (360 - 2x35 = 290 degrees). Tacking is essential when sailing upwind. The sails, when correctly adjusted, will generate aerodynamic lift. When sailing downwind, the sails no longer generate aerodynamic lift and airflow is stalled, with the wind push on the sails giving drag only. As the boat is going downwind, the apparent wind is less than the true wind and this, allied to the fact that the sails are not producing aerodynamic lift, serves to limit the downwind speed.[5] Some non-traditional rigs purportedly capture energy from the wind in a different fashion and are capable of feats that traditional rigs are not, such as sailing directly into the wind. One such example is the wind turbine boat, also called the windmill boat[2], which uses a large windmill to extract energy from the wind, and a propeller to convert this energy to forward motion of the hull. A similar design, called the autogyro boat, uses a wind turbine without the propellor, and functions in a manner similar to a normal sail[3]. Close-hauled in 1873 The energy that drives a sailboat is harnessed by manipulating the relative movement of wind and water speed: if there is no difference in movement, such as on a calm day or when the wind and water current are moving in the same direction at the same speed, there is no energy to be extracted and the sailboat will not be able to do anything but drift. Where there is a difference in motion, then there is energy to be extracted at the interface, and the sailboat does this by placing the sail(s) in the air and the hull(s) in the water. Sails are airfoils that work by using an airflow set up by the wind and the motion of the boat. The combination of the two is the apparent wind, which is the relative velocity of the wind relative to the boat's motion. The sails generate lift using the air that flows around them. The air flowing at the sail surface is not the true wind.[3] Sailing into the wind causes the apparent wind to be greater than the true wind and the direction of the apparent wind will be forward[4] of the true wind. Some extreme design boats are capable of traveling faster than the true windspeed on some points of sail. The sail alone is not sufficient to drive the boat in any desired direction, as a sail by itself would only push a boat in the same direction as the wind. Sailboats overcome this by having another physical object below the water line. This may include, a keel, centerboard, or some other form of underwater foil or even the hull itself (as in catamarans without centreboard or in a traditional proa). Thus, the physical portion of the boat which is below water can be regarded as functioning as a "second sail". Having two surfaces against the wind and water enables the sailor to travel in almost any direction and to generate an additional source of lift from the water. The flow of water over the underwater hull portions creates a hydrodynamic force. The combination of the aerodynamic force from the sails and the hydrodynamic force from the underwater hull section allows motion in almost any direction, except straight into the wind. This can be likened, in simple terms, to squeezing a wet bar of soap with two hands which causes it to shoot out in a Effects of wind shear Wind shear affects sailboats in motion by presenting a different wind speed and direction at different heights along the mast. Wind shear occurs because of the greater friction presented by water surface slowing the flow of air, a difference in true wind creates a different apparent wind at different heights. Sailmakers may introduce sail twist in the design of the sail, where the head of the sail is set at a different angle of attack from the foot of the sail in order to change the lift distribution with height. The effect of wind shear can be factored into the selection of twist in the sail design, but this can be difficult to predict since wind shear may vary widely in different weather conditions. Sailors may also adjust the trim of the sail to account for wind gradient, for example using a boom vang.[6] Points of sail Further information: Points of sail The points of sail are the most important parts of sail theory to remember. The wind, irons, or no go zone, is about 45° either side of the true wind, for a racing hull and sail plan optimized for upwind work. More commonly and on cruising sailplans, the best angle achievable upwind is 50° to 55° to the true wind. A boat cannot sail directly into the wind; attempting to do so is called 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sailing Using a series of close-hauled legs to beat a course upwind. The points of sail. A. In Irons (into the wind) B. Close Hauled C. Beam Reach D. Broad Reach E. Running luffing. There are 5 main points of sail. In order from the edge of the no go zone to directly downwind they are: • close haul (22° to the apparent wind) • close reach (half way between close hauled and a beam reach) • beam reach (90° to the apparent wind) • broad reach (22.5° away from directly downwind sailing) • running (directly downwind) The sail trim (and, on smaller boats, centre board/dagger board position) on a boat is relative to the point of sail one is on: on a beam reach sails are half way out, on a run sails are all the way out, and close hauled sails are pulled in very tightly. A large proportion of the skill of sailing is in trimming the sails correctly for direction and strength of the wind. will cover a distance through the water of over 1.4 miles, if it can tack through an angle of 90 degrees. An old adage describes beating as sailing for twice[7] the distance at half the speed and three times the discomfort. How closely a boat can sail into the wind depends on the boat's design, sail shape and trim, the sea state, and the wind speed. Typical angles to the wind are • about 35° for modern racing yachts which have been optimized for upwind performance (like America's Cup yachts) • about 42 to 45° for modern cruiser-racer yachts (fast cruising yachts) • about 50 to 60° for cruisers with an emphasis on interior space, ease of handling and often low draught rather than sailing performance, and for boats carrying two or more masts (since the forward sails adversely affect the aft sails when sailing upwind) • close to 90° for square riggers and similar vessels due to the sail shape which is very ineffective when sailing upwind Beating A basic rule of sailing is that it is not possible to sail directly into the wind, simply because the angle of attack of the wind on the sail would be zero. This is easily understood by looking at a flag flapping in the wind (zero angle of attack) and generating no thrust. Generally speaking, a modern boat can sail 45 degrees off the wind. When a boat is sailing this close to the wind, it is closehauled or beating (beating to weather). Because a boat cannot sail directly into the wind one can only get to an upwind destination by sailing closehauled with the wind coming from one side, then tacking (turning the boat through the eye of the wind) and sailing with the wind coming from the other side. By this method of zig-zagging into the wind it is possible to reach any destination directly upwind. For a yacht beating upwind to a mark at a distance upwind of one mile, it Reaching When the boat is traveling approximately perpendicular to the wind, this is called reaching. A 'beam' reach is with the wind precisely at right angles to the boat, while a 'close' reach is halfway between beating and a beam reach, and a 'broad' reach is a little bit away from the wind. For most modern sailboats, that is boats with triangular sails, reaching is the fastest way to travel. The direction of the wind is ideal for reaching because it will maximize the lift generated on the sails in the forward direction of the boat, giving the best boat speed. Also when reaching, the boat can be steered exactly in the 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia direction that is most desirable, and the sails can be trimmed for that direction. Reaching however may put the boat on a parallel course with the waves. When the waves are steep, it may be necessary to sail closer to the wind to avoid waves directly on the beam. At beam reach the keel counteracts the sideways force of the wind therefore keeping the boat stable and moving forward. Sailing Basic sailing techniques Running Sailing in front of Helsinki, Finland. 8mR Sagitta (Camper & Nicholson 1929), a true sailboat with no motor, lowers its mainsail after a training session before returning to its mooring with the foresail only. Trim An important aspect of sailing is keeping the boat in "trim". To achieve this a useful mnemonic (memory aid) is the phrase: Can This Boat Sail Correctly? This helps the crew to remember these essential points; • ourse made good - The turning or steering of the boat vessel using the wheel or tiller to the desired course or buoy. See different points of sail. This may be a definite bearing (e.g. steer 270 degrees), or towards a landmark, or at a desired angle to the apparent wind direction. • rim - This is the fore and aft balance of the boat. The aim is to adjust the moveable ballast (the crew!) forwards or backwards to achieve an 'even keel'. On an upwind course in a small boat, the crew typically sit forward to reduce drag.When 'running',it is more efficient for the crew to sit to the rear of the boat. The position of the crew matters less as the size (and weight) of the boat increases. • alance - This is the port and starboard balance. The aim, once again is to adjust weight 'windward' or 'leeward' to prevent excessive heeling. The boat moves at a faster velocity if it is flat to the water. • ail trim - Trimming sails is a large topic. Simply put however, a sail should be pulled in until it fills with wind, but no further than the point where the front edge of the sail (the luff) is exactly in line with the wind. Let it out until it starts to flap, and then pull it in until it stops. • entreboard (Daggerboard) - If a moveable centreboard is fitted, then it should be lowered when sailing "close to the wind" but can be raised up on downwind courses to reduce drag. The centreboard A Thistle running downwind with a spinnaker. Sailing the boat within roughly 30 degrees either side of dead downwind is called a run. This is the easiest point of sail in terms of comfort, unless in a small dinghy, where cramp can set in. It can be, however, also the most dangerous since deathrolls leading to turtles are very common in high winds. When sailing upwind, it's easy to stop the boat by heading into the wind; a sailor has no such easy out when running. Severe rolling is more likely as there is less rolling resistance provided by the sails, which are eased out. And loss of attention by the helmsman could lead the boat to jibe accidentally, causing injury to the boat or crew. (A preventer can be rigged to prevent damage from an accidental jibe.) Alternately, if there is a sudden increase in wind strength, the boat can round up very suddenly and heel excessively, often leading to a capsize in smaller boats. This is called broaching. 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia prevents lateral motion and allows the boat to sail upwind. A boat with no centreboard will instead have a permanent keel, some other form of underwater foil, or even the hull itself which serves the same purpose. With a daggerboard, on a close haul the daggerboard should be fully down and while running over half way up. Together, these points are known as 'The Five Essentials' and constitute the central aspects of sailing. Sailing Sail trimming Reducing sail An important safety aspect of sailing is to adjust the amount of sail to suit the wind conditions. As the wind speed increases the crew should progressively reduce the amount of sail. On a small boat with only jib and mainsail this is done by furling the jib and by partially lowering the mainsail, a process called 'reefing the main'. Reefing means reducing the area of a sail without actually changing it for a smaller sail. Ideally reefing does not only result in a reduced sail area but also in a lower center of effort from the sails, reducing the heeling moment and keeping the boat more upright. There are three common methods of reefing the mainsail: • Slab reefing, which involves lowering the sail by about one-quarter to one-third of its luff length and tightening the lower part of the sail using an outhaul or a pre-loaded reef line through a cringle at the new clew, and hook through a cringle at the new tack. • In-mast (or on-mast) roller-reefing. This method rolls the sail up around a vertical foil either inside a slot in the mast, or affixed to the outside of the mast. It requires a mainsail with either no battens, or newly-developed vertical battens. • In-boom roller-reefing, with a horizontal foil inside the boom. This method allows for standard- or fulllength horizontal battens. Mainsail furling systems have become increasingly popular on cruising yachts as they can be operated shorthanded and from the cockpit in most cases, however, the sail can become jammed in the mast or boom slot if not operated correctly. Mainsail furling is almost never used while racing because it results in a less efficient sail profile. The classical slab-reefing method is the most widely used. Mainsail furling has an additional disadvantage in that its complicated gear may somewhat increase weight aloft. However, as the size of the boat increases, the benefits of mainsail roller furling increase dramatically. An old saying goes, "The first time you think of reducing sail you should," and correspondingly, "When you think you are ready to take out a reef, have a cup of tea instead." A Contender dinghy on a reach. Sail trimming is a large subject and is a matter of debate. The most basic control of the sail consists of setting its angle relative to the wind. The control line which accomplishes this is called a "sheet." If the sheet is too loose the sail will flap in the wind - which is called "luffing." Optimum sail angle can be approximated by pulling the sheet in just so far as to make the luffing stop. Finer controls adjust the overall shape of the sail. Two or more sails are frequently combined to maximize the smooth flow of air. The sails are adjusted to create a smooth laminar flow over the sail surfaces. This is called the "slot effect". The combined sails fit into an imaginary aerofoil outline, so that the most forward sails are more in line with the wind, whereas the more aft sails are more in line with the course followed. The combined efficiency of this sail plan is greater than the sum of each sail used in isolation. More detailed aspects include specific control of the sail's shape, e.g.: • reefing, or reducing the sail area in stronger wind • altering sail shape to make it flatter in high winds • raking the mast when going upwind (to tilt the sail towards the rear, this being more stable) • providing sail twist to account for wind speed differential and to spill excess wind in gusty conditions • gibbing or lowering a sail Hull trim Hull trim is the adjustment of a boat's loading so as to change its fore-and-aft attitude in the water. In small boats, it is done by positioning the crew. In larger boats the weight of a person has less effect on the hull trim, but it can be adjusted by shifting gear, fuel, water, or supplies. Different hull trim efforts are required for different kinds of boats and different conditions. Here are just a few examples: In a lightweight racing dinghy like a Thistle, the hull should be kept level, on its designed water line for best performance in all conditions. In many small boats, weight too far aft can cause drag by 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia submerging the transom, especially in light to moderate winds. Weight too far forward can cause the bow to dig into the waves. In heavy winds, a boat with its bow too low may capsize by pitching forward over its bow (pitchpole) or dive under the waves (submarine). On a run in heavy winds, the forces on the sails tend to drive a boat's bow down, so the crew weight is moved far aft. Sailing Most of the above effects can be used to right a heeling boat and to keep the boat sailing efficiently: if however the boat heels beyond a certain point of stability, it can capsize. A boat is capsized when the tip of the mast is in the water. Yachts are traditionally divided into non-capsizable (which means that they have a heavy keel which in normal weather should stabilize the vessel) and nondrowning (which usually means that the vessel has a centerboard and even in normal circumstances can be capsized, but will not sink). Heeling A ship or boat leaning over to one side under wind pressure or the action of waves, is said to 'heel'. As a sailing boat heels over beyond a certain angle, it begins to sail less efficiently. Several forces can counteract this movement. Sailing hulls and hull shapes Further information: Hull (watercraft) Boats heeling in front of Britannia Bridge in a round-Anglesey race 1998 • The buoyancy of that part of the hull which is being submerged tends to bring the boat upright. • Raising the centreboard can paradoxically reduce heeling, because it increases leeway. • A weighted keel, which can in larger boats be canted from side to side, provides additional force to right the boat. • The crew may move onto the high (upwind) side of the boat, called hiking, changing the centre of gravity significantly in a small boat. They can trapeze if the boat is designed for this (see Dinghy sailing). • The underwater shape of the hull relative to the sails can be designed to make the boat tend to turn upwind when it heels excessively: this reduces the force on the sails, and allows the boat to right itself. This is known as rounding up. • The boat can be turned upwind to produce the same effect. • Wind can be spilled from the sails by 'sheeting out', i.e. loosening the sail. • The sail shape can be altered to reduce its efficiency, e.g. tightening the downhaul (see list of nautical terms) • The sail area can be reduced. This manoeuvre is known as Reefing. • Lastly, as the boat rolls farther over, wind spills from the top of the sail and the angle of attack lessens the wind's force. Musto Performance Skiff Sailing boats with one hull are "monohulls", those with two are "catamarans", those with three are "trimarans". A boat is turned by a rudder, which itself is controlled by a tiller or a wheel, while at the same time adjusting the sheeting angle of the sails. Smaller sailing boats often have a stabilising, raisable, underwater fin called a centreboard (or daggerboard); larger sailing boats have a fixed (or sometimes canting) keel. As a general rule, the former are called dinghies, the latter keelboats. However, up until the adoption of the Racing Rules of Sailing, any vessel racing under sail was considered a yacht, be it a multi-masted ship-rigged vessel (such as a sailing frigate), a sailboard (more commonly referred to as a windsurfer) or remote-controlled boat, or anything in between. (see Dinghy sailing) Multihulls use flotation and/or weight positioned away from the centre line of the sailboat to counter the force of the wind. This is in contrast to heavy ballast that can account for up to 90% (in extreme cases like AC boats) of the weight of a monohull sailboat. In the case of a standard catamaran there are two similarly sized and shaped slender hulls connected by beams, which are sometimes overlaid by a deck superstructure. Another catamaran variation is the proa. In the case of trimarans, which have an unballasted centre hull similar to a monohull, two relatively smaller amas are situated 6 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia parallel to the centre hull to resist the sideways force of the wind. The advantage of multihulled sailboats is that they do not suffer the performance penalty of having to carry heavy ballast, and their relatively lesser draft reduces the amount of drag, caused by friction and inertia, when moving through the water. Sailing the rudderpost. In modern parlance, a brigantine is a vessel whose forward mast is rigged with square sails, while her after mast is rigged fore-and-aft. A brig is a vessel with two masts both rigged square. As one gets into three or more masts the number of combinations rises and one gets barques, barquentines, and full rigged ships. A spinnaker is a large, full sail that is only used when sailing off wind either reaching or downwind, to catch the maximum amount of wind. Types of sails and layouts Further information: Sailboat Sailing terminology Further information: Glossary of nautical terms Sailors use traditional nautical terms for the parts of or directions on a vessel; starboard (right), port (left), forward or fore (front), aft (rearward), bow (forward part of the hull), stern (aft part of the hull), beam (the widest part). Vertical spars are masts, horizontal spars are booms (if they can hit the sailor), gaffs (if they are too high to reach) or poles (if they cannot hit the sailor). Traditional sailing off the northern coast of Mozambique. A traditional modern yacht is technically called a "Bermuda sloop" (sometimes a "Bermudan sloop"). A sloop is any boat that has a single mast and a headsail (generally a jib) in addition to the mainsail. The Bermuda designation refers to the fact that the sail, which has its forward edge (the "luff") against the mast (the main sail), is a sail roughly triangular in shape. Additionally, Bermuda sloops only have a single sail behind the mast. Other types of sloops are gaff-rigged sloops and lateen sloops. Gaff-rigged sloops have quadrilateral mainsails with a gaff (a small boom) at their upper edge (the "head" of the sail). Gaff-rigged vessels may also have another sail, called a topsail, above the gaff. Lateen sloops have triangular sails with the upper edge attached to a gaff, and the lower edge attached to the boom, and the boom and gaff are attached to each other via some type of hinge. It is also possible for a sloop to be square rigged (having large square sails like a Napoleonic Wars-era ship of the line). Note that a "sloop of war," in the naval sense, may well have more than one mast, and is not properly a sloop by the modern meaning. If a boat has two masts, it may be a schooner, a ketch, or a yawl, if it is rigged fore-and-aft on all masts. A schooner may have any number of masts provided the second from the front is the tallest (called the "main mast"). In both a ketch and a yawl, the foremost mast is tallest, and thus the main mast, while the rear mast is shorter, and called the mizzen mast. The difference between a ketch and a yawl is that in a ketch, the mizzen mast is forward of the rudderpost (the axis of rotation for the rudder), while a yawl has its mizzen mast behind Rope and lines Standing rigging (on the left) and running rigging (on the right), on a sailing boat. Rope is the term used only for raw material; once a section of rope is designated for a particular purpose on a vessel, it generally is called a line, as in outhaul line or dock line. A very thick line is considered a cable. Lines that are attached to sails to control their shapes are 7 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia called sheets, as in mainsheet If a rope is made of wire, it maintains its rope name as in 'wire rope' halyard. Lines (generally steel cables) that support masts are stationary and are collectively known as a vessel's standing rigging, and individually as shrouds or stays (the stay running forward from a mast to the bow is called the forestay or headstay). Moveable lines that control sails or other equipment are known collectively as a vessel's running rigging. Lines that raise sails are called halyards while those that strike them are called downhauls or cunninghams. Lines that adjust (trim) the sails are called sheets. These are often referred to using the name of the sail they control (such as main sheet, or jib sheet). Sail trim may also be controlled with smaller lines attached to the forward section of a boom; such a line is called a vang, or a kicker in the United Kingdom. Lines used to tie a boat up when alongside are called docklines, docking cables or mooring warps. Some lines are referred to as ropes: A bell rope (to ring the bell), a bolt rope (attached to the edge of a sail for extra strength), a foot rope (on old square riggers for the sailors to stand on while reefing or furling the sails), and a tiller rope (to temporarily hold the tiller and keep the boat on course). A rode is what keeps an anchor attached to the boat when the anchor is in use. It may be chain, rope, or a combination of the two. Sailing bowline in particular is essential. By also learning the clove hitch and "round turn and two half hitches," one can easily cope with all of the knot requirements of a boat. A more complete grasp of knot-tying includes mastery of the following knots: • bowline • clove hitch • round turn and two half hitches • rolling hitch • figure of eight • reef knot • sheet bend • stopper knots Additional knots are available List of knots Even experienced sailors may forget their knots if they are not performed on a regular basis. Forgetting how to tie an important knot can damage a boat or cause injury. • http://www.tollesburysc.co.uk/Knots/ Knots_gallery.htm (Some of the important knots) Sailing regulations There are three basic rules for avoiding a collision at sea, but this is a simplification of a detailed set of regulations: 1. A yacht using sails as motive power on port tack[8] gives way to one on starboard tack.[9]. 2. The more maneuverable vessel gives way to the less maneuverable vessel. It is generally assumed that this means that power 'gives way' to sail, but this is not always the case. It is prudent for a small sailing vessel to stay out of the way of large power driven ships by making an early and obvious alteration in course to signal both recognition of a potential collision situation and that avoiding action has been taken. It is mandatory, by port and harbour regulations, that sailing vessels shall stay clear of shipping in a buoyed channel. 3. If a collision is imminent both vessels must take avoiding action even if one vessel (this is the 'standon' vessel) would normally take no action. Not to do so, if there is an opportunity, may make the sailor the guilty party at an inquiry. The use of the term 'right of way' is borrowed from yacht racing environment, does not appear in internationally recognised rules for vessels not racing and is inappropriate to all other vessels and situations. Power driven vessel A that is on a potential collision course crossing the port side of power driven vessel B must give way. Sailing boats with their sails set on the same side of the boat, require that[10] the windward boat shall give way to the leeward boat.[11] Vessel A overtaking vessel B normally must keep clear of them . Head on collisions are avoided by vessels both turning to Starboard. Other terms Sailboat on a mooring ball near Youngstown, NY Walls are called bulkheads or ceilings, while the surfaces referred to as ceilings on land are called 'overheads'. Floors are called 'soles' or decks. The toilet is traditionally called the 'head', the kitchen is the galley. Lines are rarely tied off, they are almost always 'made fast' or 'belayed.' Sails in different sail plans have unchanging names, however. For the naming of sails, see sail-plan. Knots Knots are among the most important things a sailor needs to know. Although only a few are required, the 8 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If these rules are not followed in a yacht race, a protest may be called by one of the skippers. A hearing of protestor and protestee by the protest committee panel will decide who wins the rule breach. However there are many other rules besides these, that are applicable and sailors are required to know these, which are fundamental boating safety rules including: • The "rules of the road" or International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) set forth by the International Maritime Organization are particularly relevant to sailboats because they may be sharing the same body of water as powered vessels, who are bound by the COLREGS. • The IALA International Association of Lighthouse Authorities standards for lateral marks, lights, signals, and buoyage and rules designed to support safe navigation. • The SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations place the obligations for safety on the owners and operators of any boat including sailboats. These regulations specify the safety equipment needed and emergency procedures to be used appropriate to the boat's size and its sailing range. • When racing, all sailing vessels must follow the Racing Rules of Sailing promulgated by the International Sailing Federation as well as any prescriptions (additional rules) given by the national governing body and organisation running the event. When a boat that is racing encounters one that is not, the racing boat must comply with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea with respect to the non-racing boat. It is the custom amongst sailors that a sailing boat cruising will not normally get in the way of a racing fleet. Similarly, all sailors give way to divers' boats and fishers for reasons of safety & courtesy. After sunset all boats racing are bound by the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) rather than the Racing Rules of Sailing. Sailing U.S. Sailing team at the World Military Games Sailing Competition, December 2003 Sailing Association (in the USA and some parts of Canada). Under these conditions, sailboat racing can be comparable to or less expensive than sports such as golf and skiing. Sailboat racing is one of the few sports in which people of all ages and genders can regularly compete with and against each other. Most sailboat and yacht racing is done in sheltered coastal or inland waters. However, in terms of endurance and risk to life, ocean races such as the Volvo Ocean Race, the solo VELUX 5 Oceans Race, and the nonstop solo Vendée Globe, rate as some of the most extreme and dangerous sporting events. Not only do participants compete for days with little rest, but an unexpected storm, a single equipment failure, or collision with an ice floe could result in the sailboat being disabled or sunk hundreds or thousands of miles from search and rescue. The sport of Sailboat racing is governed by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), and the rules under which competitors race are the Racing Rules of Sailing, which can be found on the ISAF web site. As well as these there is the "mini transats" in which very small craft and a solo sailer cross the Atlantic Ocean. The Vendee Globe is another race for larger boats. Other races include the Fastnet race from Cowes, around the Fastnet rock just of the coast of Ireland and back again to the Plymouth. There is also the Sydney to Hobart race. Other race much important is Valtur World Cup for Amateurs disputated in Pollina (Italy) in 2001. Sailboat racing Sailboat racing ranges from single person dinghy racing to large boats with 10 or 20 crew and from small boats costing a few hundred dollars to multi-million dollar America's Cup or Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race campaigns. The costs of participating in the high end large boat competitions make this type of sailing one of the most expensive sports in the world. However, there are relatively inexpensive ways to get involved in sailboat racing, such as at community sailing clubs, and in some relatively inexpensive dinghy and small catamaran classes.

Leftover Breast Milk? Waste Not, Want Not
Friday, October 15th, 2010
These days, everyone is looking for ways to go green. Whether it's by shopping organic, recycling batteries, or carpooling to work, people around the world are trying their hardest to preserve the environment. Well, Parents.com's very own Julie Knapp, writing for our friends over at Inhabitots, brings the "waste not, want not" philosophy to new levels as she ponders the use of breast milk in recipes the entire family can enjoy. (After all, some research suggests that adult consumption of breast milk may be beneficial to the treatment of cancer, diabetes, and diarrhea.) From yogurt and butter to risotto and French toast, Knapp tosses out ten clever ways to use leftover breast milk, a controversial practice that's already taken off in Switzerland and China.
Knapp's headline asks the burning question: "Yum or Yuck?" Click through the slideshow here and then tell us: What do you think about using breast milk in adult food? Let us know in the comments below!

Chance to heal some wounds
16 local football teams take night off with the bye
At 5-0 and on a hot streak, the obvious conclusion is that this might not be the best time for state-ranked Calallen to have a bye.
Longtime coach Phil Danaher thinks it is.
"I like where the open week is at this season," he said. "We've gone five games and have five more before the playoffs start. Last year we had our bye the second week and ended up playing 16 games. It's a bit of an interruption, but still worth it because it gives the kids time to recover."
The Wildcats are one of 16 area teams off tonight, including District 31-4A mates Alice, Flour Bluff, Kingsville, Robstown and Tuloso-Midway. In 30-4A, Beeville, Gregory-Portland, Miller, Moody and Rockport-Fulton are all off, while Port Lavaca Calhoun takes on Sinton in one last non-district game.
Other teams taking a break this week include Agua Dulce, Aransas Pass, Benavides, Mathis and Odem.
Coaches with the Panthers and Owls say they were ready for some time off.
"We've had a couple kids that haven't been able to go full speed the last couple weeks, but this should help us get them back," Aransas Pass coach P.J. "Bootsie" Larsen said. "That's one good thing about the bye week."
Odem coach David Kleinhans shares the same view.
"It's great when you have the opportunity to heal up some wounds," he said. "This year we're in a situation where we have a young team that's had some injuries. It's a good thing we have this extra week. If you have a lot of momentum and nobody hurt you probably don't want it."
Like Aransas Pass and Odem, Calallen also has several injuries to deal with. Although Danaher doesn't mind the players getting some rest, he is concerned with the team losing its focus.
After gaining a mediocre 210 total yards in a 28-7 win over San Benito to open the season, Calallen finished with 344 against Laredo United. The Wildcats broke the 400-yard mark in beating La Joya and have continued to improve.
Calallen exploded for nearly 500 total yards in blowing out Rockport-Fulton 67-7 before amassing 488 last week to rally past rival G-P.
"It's good because we need to get well and bad because we were on a pretty good roll," Danaher said. "If we're not careful we can take a step back."
Most teams alter their routine to make sure it doesn't happen.
Calallen took Monday off and practiced in only shorts, shoulder pads and helmets on Tuesday. The team went full pads on Wednesday and Thursday and might skip practice today, although Danaher plans on scouting a future opponent.
Danaher likens it to a balancing act.
"We do enough to keep the kids sharp," he said, "but yet do as little as we can to get them well."

Lawmaker: Expect energy costs to soar
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 06/25/2013 @ 8:36 pm In Front Page,Money,Politics,U.S. | No Comments
President Obama has vowed to lead the international effort to combat climate change, and he is not waiting around for congressional approval of his agenda.
The president said climate science is settled, and he will enact major policy through executive actions that will bypass the scrutiny of lawmakers. He claims the planet is warming, making severe weather events so much more common that urgent action must be taken.
Obama rejected skepticism about climate science, saying, "We don't have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society.'"
Reducing "carbon pollution" is at the heart of the Obama plan. In addition to doubling investments in clean energy technology, the administration will seek to impose tougher emissions standards on conventional, coal-fired power plants.
One of Obama's climate advisers is even publicly embracing the idea of a "war on coal."
Harvard University Center for the Environment Director Daniel P. Schrag told the New York Times, "The one thing the president really needs to do now is to begin the process of shutting down the conventional coal plants. Politically, the White House is hesitant to say they're having a war on coal. On the other hand, a war on coal is exactly what's needed."
But Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, told WND this approach from Obama should come as no surprise.
"This administration has pursued a war on coal, with the Stream Buffer rule that has gone through a couple of changes," Hastings said. "It would essentially strangle the coal industry."
He also said further crackdowns on coal production and coal-fueled power plants would be economically devastating.
"These jobs are very good-paying jobs. In a sluggish economy, that's the last thing we need to do is to take good American jobs away from Americans. And yet, that seems to be what this administration is doing," he said.
Obama and his allies blame fossil fuels for threatening Earth's climate, but Hastings said that position ignores the benefits of using our own resources and fails to consider the clean technologies already put to use in the energy sector.
"Let's talk about the abundance of coal we have in this country, for goodness sake. And let's talk about the technology. We have proven time and again that we can burn our fuels in a cleaner, more environmentally friendly way," he said. "We have proven that over the last half-century, and there's no reason to believe we can't do it again. But to simply say we're not going to burn any coal at all does not make any sense to me at all."
In addition to lost jobs, Americans in many parts of the country could face much higher energy costs as more and more coal-fired power plants risk closure under tighter environmental regulations.
"There's no question that they would go up because at the same time that the president is strangling the coal industry, he is attempting de facto to do exactly the same thing with oil and natural gas production, especially on federal lands," said Hastings, who is among the House Republicans championing the Offshore Energy and Jobs Act, a bill that supporters say would create 1.2 million jobs.
Hastings said the bill is in response to Obama closing access to 85 percent of the areas off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts that were identified for potential energy exploration.
"What we say in this legislation is that this president and future presidents shall offer leases where they know there are known resources. What a novel idea: offering leases where you think you can get oil and natural gas," said Hastings, who noted that additional domestic production is also a positive step away from dependence upon foreign oil.
The chairman said it is possible that increased exploration could mean another disaster like America saw in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, but he said safety standards make such an event very rare and energy companies have already developed faster, more effective response plans in the event of another crisis.

Today ground beef is used in all sorts of dishes, from meatloaf to tacos, and Americans consume approximately 13 billion hamburgers a year.

Starting to paint
Greeting CA. In college I came to my senses and took art classes but they were all drawing and digital. I usually color in color pencil and have tried in soft and oil pastels, thinking it was a good bridge to painting, but failed miserably. So I never got around to learning to paint. The only painting I did was in color theory, but it was more so mixing colors and doing color exercises, not making proper "paintings".
I have the acrylic paint, oil paint, thick paper, and brushes. Now all I have to do is learn to use them. So were do I start? And I mean from the absolute bear basics. I tried painting the other day (a garbage can from life) and I mixed the colors (they turned out sort of accurate I guess) but I could not fashion it into an actual "painting." How do you get from mixed colors and blank paper/canvas to painting.
As seen in my sketchbook, I'm capable of painting digitally, if you want to call them paintings.Love means never having to say "you're a special snowflake."

Mandriva Linux 2008 Online
French Linux distributor Mandriva releases new downloadable Mandriva 2008 version.
The distribution includes the KDE 3.5.7, Gnome 2.20 and XFCE 4.4.1 desktops, kernel version 126.96.36.199 with the fair scheduler integrated. Mandriva includes a preview version of KDE4, following the course taken by OpenSuse 10.3 and Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.
All told, Mandriva keeps to the cross-desktop menu and user standards introduced to facilitate software development for Linux. Besides Open Office 2.2.1 Mandriva adds Compiz version 0.5.2 for 3D effects on the desktop. The release notes no longer mention Metisse, Mandriva's own desktop effects. The Draknetcenter tool manages network connections ousting the previous menus.
The developers have also reworked hardware detection and Mandriva now identifies sound and graphics cards more reliably. A new ALSA driver integrates the latest sound hardware. The distribution relies on X.org 7.2 with the XrandR 1.2 framework for graphics. Windows converts will appreciate the Transfugdrake wizard, which helps users import documents. Finally, the Krandr KDE tool gives users the ability to setup various displays in a GUI front-end.
Mandriva Linux 2008 is available for downloading by Bittorrent.

Day 4
Batesville to Beebe, day four. Well there was plenty of gravel and a bit of riding on top of levies.
I have found that the gravel work best by picking a line about 200 feet or so out in front of me and looking at it, I then just ignoring everything in between what I have seen at the 200 foot mark and my front wheel. That and I have been keeping the bike at right about 41mph, it seem to float just about right.
We got out of Mississippi without any incidents but shortly after making it into Arkansas after blowing the first turn we got back on the purple line and it was taking us down some nice tarmac. We were just cruising along and coming up on this place.
We came to the first intersection in a long time and I see a car coming from the right. I was already moving pretty slow and when I saw the car I grabbed too much front brake and down I went. I managed to disengage myself from the bike and do a tuck and roll. Esp41 decided since my bike was laying in the street that we would just pick it up instead of taking pictures
The Klim Badlands jacket and pants did their job and I came through it with narry a scratch or a scuff of the jacket and pants.
We got back on the road just in time to see the first rice patty, and another and another and at least one more. We took a couple pictures of the pumps they use to flood the fields.
Some of them look like diesels and others look like big V8 motors
Next up was a sign on the side of the road. Esp41 blew past it without even seeing it and I decided to circle back and grab a photo of the sign.
The whole time there I was thinking Its a Trap.
Apparently esp41 was thinking the same thing as he told me over the coms that this would be a great way to get a nice formerly shiny bike easy peasy. Well we got there and the place was closed as it was Sunday and we were there before 11.
We also ran into a nice farmer who was nice enough to turn on the ADVrider shower for us.
It was a long hot day for us. We are not trying to Iron Butt the TAT by any stretch of the imagination. So towards the end of a long day I caught my bike trying to get in a nap.
I had just barely blown a turn and was coming to a stop while waiting of esp41 to catch up, next thing I know my bike is lying on the ground and I am standing next to it
We had been planning on doing more camping, but are really whipped at then end of the day and a hotel has been how we have been doing things. We will break out the camping gear out west I am sure. We are averaging around 70 bucks a day on costs so far for each of us. This is the all in cost, fuel, food, and lodging.
At the end of the day after showering I discovered I had not escaped my little off entirely unscathed.
I have shot some more video and will try and put it together tonight but the internet sucks here so it might not make it up just as it took me 20 minutes to get the photos up.

Germany is on track to begin operating leased Israel Aerospace Industries Heron 1 unmanned air vehicles in Afghanistan in March, with its first personnel having completed training on the system.
The German air force says an initial eight personnel completed their instruction on the Heron in Israel in January. This covered activities such as air vehicle and sensor operation, plus support. The work started late last year, it adds.
To be used in support of Berlin's contribution to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, the Heron UAVs will provide near real-time surveillance services from mid-March. The vehicles are being fielded under a one-year lease deal signed with prime contractor Rheinmetall Defence last October.
The German air force stood up its first UAV squadron at Jagel air base on 5 February. The site will also house its future fleet of Northrop Grumman/EADS Eurohawk signals intelligence aircraft, due to be delivered from 2011.
With a 16.6m (54.5ft) wingspan and a maximum take-off weight of around 1,150kg (2,540lb), the medium-altitude, long-endurance Heron 1 can fly for over 24h above 30,000ft. Operating range is roughly 400km (216nm), according to the German air force.
Germany is not unique in fielding a Heron 1-based surveillance system in Afghanistan. Versions of the IAI UAV are also being used by the Australian, Canadian and French armed forces.
Germany's deal also includes an option for a two-year extension and is understood to cover the use of three air vehicles and two ground control stations.
Berlin has a longer-term requirement dubbed "Saateg" to acquire a new intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance UAV capability.
