The Coolest Jointer on Earth
Best Uses
Comments about Bench Unit:
Holy smokes...a portable jointer! This accessory allows the larger Festool planer to be *transformed* into a mini-jointer. I'm uncertain why the angle stop is a separate component since, realistically, you'd use it with the bench. So, that's needed too. But, wow, what a cool set-up.
I wish I'd known about this before investing in my Bosch planer. At some point, I'd like to have this tool to use as planer and jointer...someday soon...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Held at Seaside Lagoon in Redondo Beach, the festival will span the entire weekend offering various other musical acts, fashion shows, dance performances, wakeboarding demonstrations and, of course, all the lobster you could possibly ever want.
While all the other activities sound like fun, for you B&B fans, it's all about seeing Ronn rock out! Player is scheduled to go on stage at 8:00 PM on Saturday where fans will get to hear Ronn play bass and contribute his vocals to, among others, their #1 hit "Baby Come Back".
Soaps.com is thrilled Ronn has gone back to his musical roots with Player and would love to hear from any of you who happen to catch him perform!
For more information go to the Lobster Festival website.

North Carolina eliminated Wolfpack from the College World Series 7-0 Thursday night behind the big bats of Michael Russell, Colin Moran Mike Zolk and the pitching of lefthander Hobbs Johnson.
Johnson pitched 8 1/3 shutout innings before leaving with a 7-0 lead and two runners on in the ninth.
The Tar Heels broke a scoreless tie when they got to Wolfpack ace Carlos Rodon for single runs in the fourth — an RBI sacrifice fly by Russell — and fifth innings — an RBI single by Moran.
Russell broke open the game with a two-out, two-run single off State relief pitcher Ryan Wilkins in the top of the eighth. Zolk immediately extended the lead to 6-0 with a two-run double off D.J. Thomas, who'd relieved Wilkins.
Moran singled in the seventh run in the top of the ninth.
The win came in the fifth meeting between the Tobacco Road rivals this season and gave the Tar Heels the overall edge 3-2.
The Tar Heels, 2-1 in the double-elimination CWS, move on to play unbeaten UCLA (2-0) at 8 tonight in a game that will be televised nationally on ESPN.
UNC must beat UCLA twice, tonight and in a final game Saturday, if necessary, to advance to Monday night's best-of-three CWS championship series. UCLA moves on with a win either tonight or Saturday over the Tar Heels.

Miller and Rogel Score in WU's 2-1 Victory over Pacific
SALEM, ORE. -- Lauren Miller (Jr., F, Portland, OR/Grant HS/Northwestern State, La.) and Kelsey Rogel (Jr., F/D, Tacoma, WA/Bellarmine Prep) each scored a goal, leading Willamette University to a 2-1 victory over Pacific University in a Northwest Conference game at Sparks Field on Sunday, Oct. 7. All of the scoring was in the first half, as goalkeepers Kelli Gano (Fr., Portland, OR/Cleveland HS) of Willamette and Sydney Vincent of Pacific shut down the two offenses during the final 45 minutes.
Willamette, which has won three of its last four games, improved to 4-5-1 overall and to 3-4-1 in the NWC. The Bearcats have earned a 3-1-1 record since starting the season 1-4. Pacific fell to 4-7-1 on the season, 2-6 in the NWC.
Miller opened the scoring at 16:18 on a 6-yard shot near the right post. She scored after receiving a pass from Brittney Hewitt (Jr., MF, Portland, OR/Central Catholic HS). Hewitt entered the penalty box from the right side, then crossed the ball to Miller, who was making a run toward the post.
Kaleigh Stubblefield scored the tying goal for Pacific on a 40-yard free kick at 29:37. Her kick went over the outstretched arms of Gano, who jumped in an attempt to push the ball over the crossbar, but wasn't able to reach the shot.
Rogel provided Willamette with the go-ahead goal at 40:11. She tapped the ball into the net near the right post, following a crossing pass from Selena Levy (So., D, San Anselmo, CA/Sir Francis Drake HS). Levy began the play with a free kick from 23 yards out on the left side of the field.
Pacific held a 17-14 in shots and achieved a 6-5 edge in shots on goal. The Boxers outshot Willamette 8-7 in the second half. Gano finished with four saves for Willamette and Sydney earned three saves for Pacific.
Willamette concluded the game with a 7-6 lead in corner kicks. The Bearcats had just one corner kick in the first half, but claimed a 6-2 edge in corners in the second half.
The Bearcats remain at home on Thursday, Oct. 11, when they will host George Fox University. Game time for the NWC match is set for 7 p.m. (PDT).

text: Sexual Harassment and Academic FreedomAcademic freedom is broadly defined to include all members of Southern Polytechnic community - students, faculty, administrators, and all other employees. It is recognized that academic freedom is not a license for a single group or person to act without regard for another. Rather, true academic freedom requires an environment in which no person is intimidated, exploited, or coerced. Sexual harassment, in any of its many guises, inhibits academic freedom. The University's policies and procedures for dealing with sexual harassment have been designed to ensure the academic freedom of everyone while protecting the rights of all.

Introducing The Bible Tablet
What is The Bible Tablet?
Imagine if you could...if you were able to read and study from all your favorite versions of the Bible, Commentaries, Devotionals, Dictionaries and Lexicons, Books and Teachings, and Biblical Maps; in over 20 different languages? What if you had a custom set of Apps that can help you on you better to learn, live and study Bible Principles? What if you could watch your favorite videos, listen to your favorite music artist, play your favorite games, and see and talk with with your family and friends from anywhere in the world? What if you could download all of your favorite apps from the Android Market, download and read all of your favorite books? What if you could have an unlimited number of Christian resources that will help you in every facet of your Christian walk?...all from the palm of your hand? Well...Now You Can!
The better question may very well be what isn't TBT? In essence what TBT is, is a lifestyle Tablet for the Christian Community. No matter what your need or interest is, whether it be financial advice, health advice, spiritual advice, love interest, shopping, reading, listening to music, watching videos, sharing and giving to those in the Christian community, it all exist in TBT. Instead of searching over and over, we put the resources in one place, TBT. TBT App allows you to reach out and connect with other like minded people. We start you out with the basics, and you can add or leave out as needed.
TBT is an Android based Tablet that runs on a super fast processor that has it's own proprietary apps. Those Apps are: The Bible Tablet (TBT App), Touch and Agree (TAAG) App, My Daily Walk App, God's Promises and Principles (GPP) App and the Find A Church Today (FACT) App. You can read more about each App below.
In addition to our proprietary apps that make up the foundation of TBT, you can use and download any of the 100,000's+ Apps on the Android Market Place. You can be as exclusive or inclusive as you would like.
TBT is the first in a series of Lifestyle Tablets developed by IW1. These are not your ordinary run of the mill Android Tablets. They were custom designed and developed to easily compete with the iPad, Motorola Zoom, Samsung Galaxy and other Tablets on the market. And if you don't think so, just look at the comparison of the TBT to any of the other popular Tablets on the market and you'll see for yourself that the only thing you are sacrificing is price.
Please scroll down and read all about TBT, what it is to you, what it can do, and if you're a Church Organization, please read about our TBT Mission Program. We are all about spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the four corners of the World.
You'll hardly know it's there - compact and extremely lightweight!
The compact, lightweight The Bible Tablet is small enough to stick in your pocket, purse of backpack and take with you anywhere you go! It's about a half inch thick and weighs less than 2 pounds." Also can you remove the sentence: 'It measures 7.67' x 4.72" with a 7" brilliant color screen. That's lighter than an iPad! It's amazing how much power can be packed into one little tablet. Take it with you on the plane, to the coffee shop, on trips, around for the day while you're running errands or just use it at home in any room of the house. This is mobility at its best!
Free Japanese Mesh Case with each order.
The Bible Tablet Custom Android Apps
The Bible Tablet comes with 5 custom Android Applications. These applications are only available with The Bible Tablet.
God's Promises & Principles (GPP)
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." Isaiah 55:11
There is nothing in your life that will ever happen to you that God doesn't provide direction for, or promises you the outcome, as a believer in Jesus Christ. The GPP app has over 100 Topical categories and over 1200 verses for you to get answers to the question in your life.
Touch and Agree (TAAG)
"Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 18:19
The TAGG APP is an IM and Video Conferencing App that will allow you to reach out and touch anyone in your network. Whether it's your prayer partner(s), friends, children, family, or someone on the other side of the world that needs prayer, this is the app for you.
The Bible Tablet (TBT)
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
The Foundation of TBT, is TBT App. TBT was developed in conjuction with the Sword Bible Project. TBT allows you download any number off Bibles in translations that work best for your development in your Christain walk. You can download Bibles, Commentaries, Dictionaries and Lexicons, MAPS, Daily Devotionals, and Christian Books in over 20 different languages. So it doesn't matter what part of the world you're in, or what language you speak, you can read, study, learn and know the word of God.
My Daily Walk
"And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, so he may run that reads it." Habakkuk 2:2
One of the important things in your Christian Walk is writing down the things you have gone through, the things God's has pulled you through, and the things he speaks into your life. You will find at your time of need, you can look back and see, that in Christ, you were never alone.
Find A Church Today (FACT)
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Hebrews 10:25
The FACT is we all need encouragement. That encourage comes from being with and fellowshipping with like-minded people. When you don't have a church home, you're are stunting your spiritual growth and understanding. The purpose of the Church is theencouragement of one another, as well as worship to God. "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:24-25)
It doesn't matter if you have a Church home, or looking for a Church home, or maybe away on vacation or working, use this app to find a place to worship.

CIS 223 is a continuation of CIS 123 – uses Microsoft Excel Comprehensive
1) The textbook used for CIS 123 Fall 2013 is from the Pearson Publishing companies Go! series. CIS 122 uses Microsoft Excel 2010 Comprehensive.
2) MyITlab software. The license is good for one (1) year for many Pearson publishing courses using MyITlab. With one copy of MyITlab you could take all of the CIS OE\DE courses. providing you finish all those courses within one year from the time you install MyITlab.
MyITlab provides the appropriate Microsoft software to complete the course within its shell. Consequently, students can do all the exercises to complete the course without purchasing the necessary Microsoft office application software. If a student wants to use the actual MS office application software they would have to purchase it separately or as a package with the textbook from the bookstore (see options below).
Pearson can bundle all of the Microsoft office applications (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Access) with textbooks. The license on the software is only good for 180 days.
Pearson is not allowed to sell the MS office applications unless it is bundled with a textbook.
The appropriate Microsoft (MS) office application for this course – E.g. for CIS 122: Microsoft Word (appropriate version e.g. Word 2010 or Word 2013, etc.), for CIS 123: appropriate version MS Excel, etc.
You will notice that there may be up to five (5) different packages available for this course:
Bundling of the software (MyITlab and MS office applications) with the textbook provides a more favorable price than purchasing them separately and the bundled package has a different ISBN than the textbook alone.
Consequently, we suggest that you order the material from the LMC Bookstore.

The first drug to treat the underlying disorder instead of the symptoms of Fragile X, the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability, shows some promise according to a new study published in the January 5 issue of Science Translational Medicine. Researchers from Rush University Medical Center helped design the study and are now participating in the larger follow-up clinical trial.
The data from the early trial of 30 Fragile X patients, found the drug, called AFQ056, made by Novartis Pharmaceuticals, helped improve symptoms in some patients. Patients who had the best response have a kind of "fingerprint" in their DNA that could act as a marker to determine who should get treatment.
"This is an exciting development. It is the first time we have a treatment targeted to the underlying disorder, as opposed to supportive treatment of the behavioral symptoms, in a developmental brain disorder causing intellectual disability. This drug could be a model for treatment of other disorders such as autism," said pediatric neurologist Dr. Elizabeth Berry-Kravis, a study author and director of the Fragile X Clinic and Research Program and the Fragile X-Associated Disorders Program at Rush.
The drug is designed to block the activity of mGluR5, a receptor protein on brain cells that is involved in most aspects of normal brain function, including regulation of the strength of brain connections, a key process required for learning and memory. Fragile X patients have a mutation in a single gene, known as Fragile X Mental Retardation-1 or FMR1. The mutation prevents FMR1 from making its protein, called FMRP, such that FMRP is missing in the brain. FMRP normally acts as a blocker or "brake" for brain cell pathways activated by mGluR5. When FMRP is missing, mGluR5 pathways are overactive resulting in abnormal connections in the brain and the behavioral and cognitive impairments associated with Fragile X.

The Lions Drafting Strategy: Take Everyone!
Categories: Follow That Story, Sports
It looks like the Detroit Lions, who own the first pick in the NFL draft, may be planning on taking Jason Smith, the offensive tackle out of Baylor. It's upsetting for Rams fans -- because some want to see them draft him at #2.
I covered Smith not too long ago, when I previewed the offensive tackles available in the draft that the Rams might consider taking with their top pick. I liked him then, and I like him now. If he's gone, it's really going to hurt my feelings.
|Via Y Chromosome
But wait, there's more! Chris Mortenson, the ESPN guy who's always just sort of hanging around in the background of all the shows, is convinced that the Lions are taking Matt Stafford, the QB out of Georgia. Now we're talking. They take Stafford, the Rams can get whichever of the OT's they prefer, either Smith (my choice), or Eugene Monroe (also a good pick), from Virginia.
Then again, the Lions are also rumored to be negotiating with pretty much everyone's agents, so these may not be the most ironclad reports you're ever going to see. Such is the nature of the draft nowadays, I suppose.

Rounding out the Grand Final were Ithaca's first boat in fourth at 6:39.16, the second boat from Williams in fifth at 6:42.00, and the first boat from the University of Puget Sound in sixth at 6:47.47.
Finishes in the Grand Final resulted in the top six places in the standings, while results in the Petite Final filled seventh place through 12th place. Each of the seven NCAA member institutions selected for team berths in the regatta raced two eights during the competition. The two at-large selections, Willamette and Washington College (Md.), each raced one entry.

March 12, 2011
STILLWATER, Okla. – The Lobos lost another nail-biter to Oklahoma State, this time in extra innings, as the Cowboys won in the 11th inning, 4-3.
The Lobos' offensive came out of the gate swinging in the first inning as first baseman DJ Peterson brought home the Lobos first run of the game with an RBI single down the left side, scoring junior Kyle Stiner from third, giving the Lobos the early lead, 1-0.
Oklahoma State answered back in the bottom of the second as designated hitter Jared Womack scored on second baseman Dane Duren's sacrifice fly, tying the game up at one a piece. On the very next at-bat first baseman Zach Johnson ripped an RBI single to left field, giving the Cowboys a 2-1 advantage.
For the second-straight game, the Lobos received another strong performance from the starting pitcher position as freshman Jake McCasland lasted six innings, giving up three earned runs on seven hits while striking out four.
Oklahoma State sophomore pitcher Andrew Heaney had a nice day on the mound for the Cowboys as he threw for 6 1/3 solid innings, surrendering two earned runs while giving up four hits to go along with six strikeouts.
Heaney's day came to an end in the seventh, however, as the Lobos used some great instincts on the base paths to tie the game at three a piece. After the first two Lobo batters earned walks, Head Baseball Coach Ray Birmingham decided to have Ben Woodchick lay down a sacrifice bunt, that, in turn, advanced both runners. After the sacrifice, Heaney was replaced by Oklahoma State relief pitcher Chris Marlowe. Birmingham's decision to play some small ball ended up paying off as Marlowe threw a wild pitch, scoring Alex Albritton from third and advancing Sam Wilson from second to third, closing the gap to 3-2. After striking out the next batter, Marlowe threw another wild pitch, bringing home Wilson, tying the game at three a piece.
New Mexico's sophomore right-hander Bobby Mares would come on in the eighth to replace McCasland. Mares fared well as he shut out the Cowboys for three innings, unfortunately, Oklahoma State got to Mares in the bottom of the 11th as shortstop Hunter Bailey scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of first baseman Zach Johnson, giving the Cowboys the win, 4-3. Walking Bailey early in the inning proved to be a costly mistake for Mares and the Lobos as Bailey got to second on a fielder's choice, and then to third on a throwing error by third baseman Quay Grant, eventually scoring on the sacrifice fly to end the game.
New Mexico's Mares (1-3) was issued the loss and Oklahoma State's Marlowe (1-0) was credited with the win.
This was just the second extra-inning game for the Lobos this season. They are now 0-2 in extra inning games this year after today's loss. The loss puts the Lobos at 3-12 on the season, while the Cowboys improve to 11-3.
The Lobos will try to leave Stillwater, Okla., on a good note tomorrow as the Lobos battle the Cowboys at 12 p.m. MT.

Medieval Jewish Philosophers on the Reasons for the Mitzvot
Jewish philosophers since ancient times have explained the system of mitzvot, and individual commandments, in terms that made sense to their contemporaries.
By Rabbi Ronald H. Isaacs
We Also Recommend
Rabbi Isaacs explains the need to offer a rationale for the mitzvot as a response to the hostility or curiosity of non-Jews. In many times and places, though, the worldview of the surrounding culture was adopted by at least some Jews, and the effort to explain the commandments was therefore as much a matter of encouraging Jews to maintain Jewish practice as it was to explain Judaism to those outside the Jewish community. Reprinted with permission from Mitzvot: A Sourcebook for the 613 Commandments, published by Jason Aronson Inc.
Jewish religious philosophers, especially in the medieval period, began to probe for the purpose and meaning of the commandments. Most of their investigation was generally conducted independently of any definitive study of the commandments. It is difficult to ascertain with certainty the reasons that prompted the Middle Age scholars to steadfastly begin to explore commandments. Some have suggested that one cause may have been apologetic. That is to say, with rabbinic leaders being confronted with anti-semitic attacks, they felt that an intelligent reply would reduce the weight of the misrepresentation.
The following section surveys some of the important philosophers and thinkers who paved the way for a comprehensive series of rationales for the commandments.
Hellenistic Literature
The need for a rational explanation of the commandments was expressed for the first time in the Hellenistic period, a time when the Jewish people were profoundly influenced by Greek culture. The explanation was motivated by a desire to present Judaism to the pagan world as a legislation intended to produce a people of the highest virtue. For example, in the Letter of Aristeas, the dietary laws (kashrut) and other commandments, including the wearing of a prayer shawl and the affixing of a mezuzah to one's doorpost, were explained as having the purpose of awakening holy thoughts and forming character.
Philo, a first-century philosopher, whose Greek writings focused primarily on the Five Books of Moses, offered one of the first systematic treatises for the reasons behind the commandments. He categorized the commandments into the following four categories: beliefs, virtuous emotions, actions symbolizing beliefs, and actions symbolizing virtues. In his explanation of various rationales for the commandments, he often used the allegorical method of interpretation [explaining the Bible's words as an extended metaphor, not to be taken literally].

Wind energy drive flows in Panhandle
Companies to spend $3.3 billion to fuel farms
AMARILLO — The Texas Panhandle's wind energy industry is about to be blown away.
An international mix of companies has committed to more than doubling the region's production capacity by spending more than an estimated $3.3 billion on construction of wind farms in the next two years.
The area currently has the capability of producing about 1,500 megawatts, but that will go up by another 1,644 megawatts if projects now under contract go through.
Cross Texas Transmission and Sharyland Utilities are approaching the end of construction of transmission lines that will take locally produced electricity to places like Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston. That has lit the fuse, and wind farm developers and the transmission companies have begun filing agreements with the Public Utility Commission of Texas making some of their formerly closely guarded commitments public.
Cross Texas has finished its Phase I construction from near Childress to south of Pampa and then to the White Deer area.
"Cross Texas Transmission is working with (the Electric Reliability Council of Texas) and other transmission service providers to schedule the energization of these facilities. Cross Texas' Phase II facilities are approximately 70 percent complete with construction," said Cameron Fredkin, director of project development at Cross Texas. "Completion of the Phase II facilities is expected late summer or early fall."
The company is building more than 200 miles of line at a cost of about $425 million. It has used local companies for some of the engineering, construction and supplies as well as other needs.
"Local companies and many others throughout the state of Texas and United States have played a large role in the success," Fredkin said.
Sharyland is making progress on several segments of 300 miles of line it is building in the Panhandle and South Plains, including the one running north and then east from Hereford to White Deer. Other segments include White Deer to Silverton, Silverton to Cottonwood and Silverton to Hereford. The company expects to meet the Dec. 31 deadline set by the state for putting the lines into service.
The estimated cost is about $630 million.
On Thursday, crews were working with a helicopter between Hereford and Wildorado, preparing towers averaging 125 feet high for the lines they will hold.
"Helicopters allow the wires of the transmission line to be strung quicker than using bucket trucks from the ground. We use them for hanging insulators and the stringing dollies (large pulleys that hang temporarily from the bottom of the tower arms)," Sharyland spokeswoman Jeanne Phillips said.
Workers attach the rope to the cable that carries the electricity and use a powerful reel to pull the cable through the pulleys.
As the construction wraps up, the focus turns to securing customers.
"A couple of customers have signed interconnected agreements to connect wind energy facilities to the Cross Texas Transmission system," Fredkin said.
Sharyland is also making progress with four agreements filed, Phillips said. These are EC&R Development, whose parent corporation is headquartered in Germany; RES America Developments, based in England; Spinning Spur Two, a partnership of an Austin company and a subsidiary of a French company; and Mariah North West, a partnership of Parmer County landowners and businessmen and a Norwegian company.

For example, the company recently cut about 800 hours of programming from A&E and History, and its deal with Epix is no longer exclusive. However, Netflix points out that among the top 10 TV shows, six are available only on Netflix, and not Hulu, Amazon Prime Instant Video, or HBO Go. The company also points to two numbers suggesting that customers are still happy with the service — per member viewing is up ()

Read Poems by
Dimitris Varos
Greece you are waiting for me.
With white speechless marbles
within the August heat.
With sullen and loveless areopagites
carving my name on sea-shells.
Hypereides, you liar.
Praxiteles, oh so blind.
You Xenocrates, son of the *****.
And me that I was thought
I would return bearing banners
to rebuild your Thebes.
A roar under the earth.
Ashes in the wind.
Athens rises in the sky
and charges against me.
Why should I be afraid?
Why should I run for a shelter?
I don't want you to cover my eyes.
I want to see the terror in yours,
when after the execution
you'll find me at the exit,
waiting for you
with a molotov cocktail in my hands.

How good are you at keeping watch? What makes a valuable underway watchstander? Are you wondering why you weren't invited back after that last passage? Here Captain John Jamieson gives ten golden rules about how to be the best watch keeper and a good friend to your crew mates (even if there is only one). Check them out to see whether your watch keeping skills need upgrading:
Watch keeping skills - alertness is the key
The mandatory skills for a watch-keeper are to be able to scan the horizon with binoculars, track sighted vessels and adjust sails and rigging.
Here are the ten top rules to get yourself prepared to stand watch aboard any vessel, anywhere in the world:
Rule 1: Get Rest:
For day watches, take a short twenty minute nap within an hour of your watch. This will keep you alert for several hours. If you have a late night watch that extends into the early morning hours, hit the bunk early to be well rested for watch.
Rule 2: Wear the Right Gear:
Layer for warmth on a cold watch. Bring foul weather gear with you no matter the current weather. Squalls can come out of nowhere and you want to be ready.
Rule 3: Hydrate and Snack:
Dehydration causes seasickness and fatigue. Drink water and increase your intake of minerals and vitamin C (buy packets, such as 'Emergen-C'). To keep alert, eat light snacks on watch instead of heavy meals.
Rule 4: Follow the Skipper's Standard Operating Procedures (SOP):
Most skippers have standard operating procedures that tell you when to keep the log (once an hour or once per watch), when to wake him or her, and safety procedures on watch. Alert the skipper if you are in doubt or have a question that affects the safety of the crew.
Rule 5: Scan the Horizon:
Use binoculars to scan 360 degrees around the horizon. On a black night, the horizon can be tough to find. Look just beneath the lowest layer of stars. Scan just above the line of the horizon. Studies have shown that this technique helps you pick out hard-to-see objects in low light conditions.
Rule 6: Check the Course:
It's easy to forget about the course if you're on autopilot. Those silent crewmembers do tend to wander sometimes like a sailor with one-too-many rum punches! Check the compass course every 30 minutes to make sure you stay on the sailing course.
Rule 7: Use Electronic Tools:
International law makes it quite clear that all lookouts must use electronics--if installed--to help avoid collisions. This includes AIS and radar. Many vessels have stand-alone radars or integrated chart plotter-radar systems aboard. Switch to the radar mode to scan for vessels you may have missed with binoculars. Use both distant and close range scales.
Rule 8: Keep the Log:
Log navigation, weather, and engineering data into the ships log at least once per watch. Write down Latitude and Longitude, course, speed over ground, sails hoisted, and weather data. Keep a separate engineering log section for water temp, oil pressures, amperage, fuel tank level, and fresh water tank level.
Rule 9: Put on the Kettle:
Keep on good terms with any oncoming watchstander with a hot pot of water, ready to pour into a mug for coffee, tea or soup. He or she will appreciate this kindness more than you can imagine.
Rule 10: The all-important Briefing:
Before you go below, give your relief an easy-to-remember summary. Has the wind shifted? What speed are you making good? Have you sighted any vessels and where are they now? What weather can he or she expect on watch? Keep it simple and clear.
Practice these secrets of collision avoidance and watchstanding from the moment you cast off that last line. They will keep you, your crew and the yacht safe and sound on the waters of the world to enjoy safe, worry-free sailboat cruising.
These tips are from Captain John Jamieson's highly popular eight-part 'Offshore Sailing' series, which you will find at www.skippertips.com In this series Captain John, with 25+ years as a master mariner, shows you the skills you need for safer sailing anywhere in the world.
Letter from reader:
Sender: Alex Blackwell
Message: Hi there
This is an article that is very close to every long distance cruiser's heart. I heartily agree with all the points raised - even with putting on the kettle towards the end of each watch.
However, I am surprised that John did omit what on our boat is the most important rule of all:
The number one rule of sailing (and watch keeping) is: Stay on the boat.
It may appear self evident, but when sailing short handed, or in any schedule when only one person is on watch, the others have no way of knowing if there is a MOB situation.
We therefore have a sub-rule that nobody goes out on deck without being tethered while at sea. We have the first pad eye positioned just below the companionway and have a tether attached for an emerging person to clip in to without fail. Jack lines and pad eyes are then strategically positioned from bow to stern. A correlary to this sub-rule is that nobody leaves the cockpit without another person being on deck.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Exclusive! Caroline Manzo's Kids Reveal That Dina Will Be at Their House for Christmas!
The last time we heard from Caroline Manzo — on the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion, which aired in mid-October — she was heartbroken over the rift in her relationship with younger sister Dina. It was a rift she put squarely on the shoulders of co-star Teresa Giudice, who she blamed for filling Dina's ears with lies about Caroline.
Happily, however, it looks like relations between Caroline and Dina are finally on the mend. Wetpaint Entertainment can exclusively reveal that Dina will be joining the rest of her family for Christmas Eve at Caroline's house. We caught up with Caroline's three kids — Albie, Chris and Laure — at Z100's Jingle Ball presented by Aeropostale in NYC on Dec. 9. When we asked if Dina would be spending the holiday chez Manzo, all three nodded their heads vigorously.
"I'm sure she will," Lauren told Wetpaint Entertainment. "She's part of the family. At the end of the day, we're family and we love each other, no matter what happens on the show."
"Christmas Eve is bigger for us than Christmas Day," Lauren continued. "My mom is one of 11 kids. We have everyone over and we have a five-course meal and tons of presents. The whole great room is filled with presents. We open them the next day and the last one we open is always the biggest. As everyone saw, last year our parents gave us these," she said, showing off her diamond bracelet made up of five entwined circles, one for each of her parents and the other three representing herself, Chris and Albie. Both brothers also proudly sported theirs.
The siblings were less enthused when talking about Season 4 of the series, which wrapped at the end of summer. "It's funny, but Season 4 is going to go a little bit backwards," Albie explained. "They showed some of the footage in Season 3 – the part where the cookbook comes out. But Season 4 had already been shooting and starts even before that. The cookbook isn't what started all the problems, it actually came in the middle of all the trouble. So in Season 4, you'll see all the events that led to it."
As for the annual Posche fashion show, Lauren says bluntly, "It was a disaster," How so? "Let's put it this way. The fashion show happened the night before the Season 3 reunion was shot." The climactic Season 3 reunion saw Caroline, Melissa, and Kathy all furious with Teresa — and was so ugly that Jacqueline couldn't even bring herself to attend. "Based on that," Lauren says, "you can pretty much put two and two together if you want to know how the fashion show went." Yikes!

Recreational reptiles, working girls, party row entertainment, and the old favorite, lotlizards, refer to one of many sources of the negative stereotypes that curse the industry loved by many. Granted, if there wasn't a market for prostitution in the truck stops, this post would not be necessary.
The term "lotlizard" is the most common trucker lingo used to describe these people; something rarely mentioned when the transportation companies attempt to glorify this industry in their efforts to attract much needed new drivers. Many of the families of potential quality professionals are discouraged by this and other not so favorable negative images given to us all from the media. Truth is, most of the perpetrators contributing to the demand side of this illegal activity, represents a very small percentage of the drivers. This has been the same for at least the 20+ years I have been as a trucker.
Companies should concentrate their focus (at the very least, exert more effort) informing the public that majority of the modern truckers are some of the hardest working, family oriented men and women in the country.
A few years ago, there was an episode of the television show Cops (the exact date escapes me) where a sting operation was featured arresting drivers at a Petro Fuel Center soliciting staged lotlizards. The show projected an image that a majority of the drivers parked there strictly were there to seek the services of the "working girls" slithering around the back rows of the lot. No wonder the public views us the way they do.
If this Petro was as bad as portrayed, this driver would have never went past the fuel islands. To this day, many of us who frequented this truck stop are disappointed any litigation was brought forward by either Petro, of some of the trucking companies involved in the sting.
Many of these women (and men) who venture around the lots are victims of abuse, drug addicts, abducted minors forced against their will, or runaways wanting to make a "trade" for money to buy something to eat; most actually need help to escape a bad situation.
There will always be lotlizards, something that will never disappear entirely, but the promotion of the up-side of the industry along with greater efforts to create a more positive image of the typical truck driver, is the only way we all can do to reverse this raw deal we combat daily.

East Lansing police confirm to wilx.com they are investigating a fight that happened late Saturday night involving as many as eight members of the Michigan State football and hockey teams. A. J. Sturges, a sophomore defenseman from Madison, Wisconsin, is hospitalized at Sparrow in fair condition after an apparent punch put him down. MSU athletic department officials say they are cooperating fully in the probe and no names have been formally released. Police say their investigation may well last into next week before recommendations are given to the Ingham County prosecutor's office. Others involved had minor injuries but did not seek treatment. Several fights occurred throughout the residence where Sturges and other MSU hockey players are living this year. Stay with News 10 and wilx.com for more details as they become available.

What Did Alyssa Milano Get For Her 40th Birthday? A '90s Prom!
Believe it or not, Alyssa Milano is turning 40 on December 19. The Who's the Boss? and Charmed star had a surprise party on December 14 in West Hollywood, attended by famous friends like Ludacris and Brian Grazer.
The party, thrown by her husband, David Bugliari, was prom-themed, one guest told Us Weekly, "because Alyssa didn't have a prom and hers would have been in 1990s. Everybody dressed up and everyone got a corsage when they walked in."
Maybe proms should be the standard for 40-year-olds, instead of teens, since adults are less likely to be self-conscious shuffle-dancers and awkward gropers. Anyway, happy birthday, Alyssa! Sounds like a fun party.

Whatever the reason, ending a marriage may be a very painful process. The spouse was unfaithful, suffered from addiction, or was abusive to your client or the children. While in California we do not assign "fault" during the dissolution process, the circumstances leading to the end of the marriage often leave the parties angry, hurt, sad, and sometimes with a desire for revenge.
Some family law attorneys adopt their client's attitude toward the opposing side and add unnecessary gasoline to an already blazing fire. In fact, when seeking representation, your client may think what's needed is a lawyer who will destroy the ex.
While every client needs a zealous advocate, the "fight" is between the parties. Lawyers are officers of the court and we owe each other a level of professionalism. We are charged with candor to the court and we should carry this out with respect for each other. When met with a constant barrage of insults and accusations, it is tempting to respond in kind - but that is what civility is for.
Unrealistic demands, arbitrary deadlines, flat out lies - these are just a few of the things one sometimes receives from opposing counsel as a family law practitioner. We must resist the impulse to respond angrily when opposing counsel resorts to name calling and casting blame. Instead, focus on a resolution for the parties who are in the middle of ending their marriage. A lawyer who adopts a client's persona will approach a spouse accused of cheating as a "cheater," a husband accused of abuse as a "criminal," a wife accused of addiction as a "low life." This does nothing to resolve the issues at hand.
If the parties share children, the way they (and their lawyers) conduct themselves during the process may be the difference between exclusion from or sharing in important dates in their children's lives moving forward. Will both parents be able to attend graduation, watch their daughter walk down the aisle, or will the animosity be so high that the children will forever have to choose which parent will share their special days? Choose to rise above the emotion and do what is best for your client in the long run.
No one wins in family law litigation. In civil litigation, there is a plaintiff and defendant and at the end of the case, one of the parties prevails. But in a family law case, at the end of the case there are two separate parties who have worked to divide their assets and time with their children. No one "prevails" - there is no crowned victor. Lawyers should educate their clients on the most equitable resolution and advocate for their protection. Encouraging a client to "destroy" their ex-spouse does nothing but increase the legal costs and animosity.
With civility and by focusing on the issues to be resolved - custody, property, and support - we can work to a resolution that allows both parties to move forward with their separate lives.

Edited 18 July 2014 by Benedetta Piantella
In this lab you will find some of the components you'll use frequently when making electronic circuits. For more on any given component, please check out its datasheet.
A datasheet or spec sheet is a document (printed or .pdf) that describes the technical characteristics of a sensor, electronic component, product, material or other. It includes details on how to use the component in a circuit and other useful design info on how to integrate it into a system together with specifications on performance and other characteristics that are important to know.
Voltage regulators take a range of DC voltage and convert it to a constant voltage. For example, this regulator, a 7805 regulator, takes a range of 8 – 15 volts DC input and converts it to a constant 5-volt output.
Note the label on the regulator that reads "7805". Check the label on every component. This physical form factor, called the package, is used by many different components, and not all of them are voltage regulators. This is a TO-220 package.
The 7800 series regulators come in many different voltages. 7805 is a 5-volt regulator. 7809 is a 9-volt regulator. 7812 is a 12-volt regulator. All the regulators of this family have the same pin connections. In the image above, the left leg is connected to the input voltage. The middle leg is connected to ground. The right leg is the output voltage.
3.3V regulators are also common. Note that these ones don't have the same pin configuration as the 7805 regulators!
LEDs, or Light Emitting Diodes, are diodes that emit light when given the correct voltage. Like all diodes, they are polarized, meaning that they only operate when oriented correctly in the circuit. The anode of the LED connects to voltage, and the cathode connects to ground. The anode in the LEDs in this photo is the longer leg on each LED. LEDs come in many different packages. The packages above have built-in lenses.
These LEDs are the cheapest you can buy, and they're not very bright. You can get superbright LEDs as well, which are much brighter. If you're working on applications that need very small light sources, you can also get LEDs in a surface mount package.
LEDs can only handle a limited amount of current and voltage. The details should be covered in each LED's datasheet, but if not, here's a link to a handy LED current calculator. For most common LEDs running at 5 volts, a resistor between 220 and 1K ohms will do the job.
Solderless breadboards are reusable prototyping tools for electronics that allow you to build and experiment with circuits simply by plugging components in and out of its rows and columns. They come in different shape and sizes.
Resistors resist the flow of electrical current. When placed in series, they reduce the voltage, and limit the current. The bands on a resistor indicate the resistor's value. Here's a handy resistor color code calculator.
Potentiometers are variable resistors. The two outside terminals act as a fixed resistor. A movable contact called the wiper moves across the resistor, producing a variable resistance between the center terminal and either of the two sides.
Trimmer potentiometers are designed to be mounted on a circuit board, difficult to turn, so you can use them to adjust a circuit. They're handy to use as physical variables, to tune your project.
Switches are one form of digital input. There are many kinds of switches. The two most useful categories are momentary switches, which remain closed only when you press them, and toggle switches, which stay in place after you switch them.
Photocells are variable resistors whose resistance changes as the light hitting them changes.
Thermistors are variable resistors whose resistance changes as the temperature changes.
Capacitors store electrical energy while there's energy coming in, and release it when the incoming energy stops. They have a variety of uses. One common use is to smooth out the dips and spikes in an electrical supply. This use is called decoupling.
Ceramic capacitors are cheap and unpolarized. They generally have very small capacitance values. They're useful decoupling caps in a low-current circuit. You often see them used to decouple the power going into a microcontroller or other integrated circuit.
The number on a ceramic cap gives you its value and order of magnitude. For example, 104 indicates a 0.1 microfarad (uF) cap. 103 indicates a 0.01 microfarad cap.
Electrolytic capacitors can generally store more charge than ceramic caps, and are longer lasting and more expensive. They're usually polarized, meaning that they have a positive leg and a negative leg. This is because current flows more efficiently through them one way than the other.
An electrolytic cap will have a + or – on one side, as shown here.
Diodes permit voltage to flow in one direction and block it in the other direction. LEDs are a type of diode, as are the 1N4001 diodes shown here. They're useful for stopping voltage from going somewhere you don't want it to go.
Zener diodes have a breakdown voltage past which they allow current to flow in both directions. They're used to chop off excess voltage from a part of a circuit.
Video: Schematics 3 – Transistors
Transistors act as electronic switches. When you put a small voltage across the base and emitter, the transistor allows a larger current and voltage to flow from the collector to the emitter.
A servo motor is paired with an encoder (e.g. an Arduino) to provide position/speed readings and control messages in a feedback loop. This loop is used to precisely control of the servo's degree of rotation.
DC motors utilize induction (an electromagnetic field generated by current flowing through a wire coil) to rotate a central shaft. You can reverse the direction that the shaft rotates by reversing the leads powering it.
Gears can be used to change the speed and torque of motors.
An H bridge is an electronic circuit that enables a voltage to be applied across a load in either direction. They are often used to control the direction of DC motors.
Like transistors, relays are electronic switches. Electromechanical relays contain a small coil that, when energized, creates a magnetic field that moves a small metal armature to open or close an electrical contact. Relays can handle higher current than transistors and can be used for AC or DC loads. However, because they rely on a physical mechanism, they are slower and more prone to wearing out. If you want to control a relay with the Arduino, you will need to use a transistor as an intermediary because most relays draw more current than the Arduino's output pins can supply.
Screw terminals are electrical connectors that hold wires in place with a clamping screw. They allow for a more secure connection than female headers and more flexibility than soldering a wire in place.

Updated: 02/25/2013 10:46 PM KSTP.com By: Beth McDonough
The first legislation in the country dealing with trademark bullying is on the table in Minnesota. That's because three small businesses are fighting to keep their names and their livelihoods.
One man has turned to lawmakers at the State Capitol, hoping Minnesotans will help to take care of their own.
Robert Linden is just one man on a job site in Excelsior. But his story speaks for so many other small business owners in Minnesota. Linden runs a spray foam firm called: Thermal-Wise Insulation.
He built a steady business as the name caught on with local customers. It also caught the attention of Questar, a large out-of-state company that happens to share a similar name for one of its programs: Therm-Wise. Although there's a small difference in name, Questar believes it's a big enough deal, it's suing Linden alleging trademark infringement.
Linden says legal bills are killing his bottom line. His business is suffering, sales are down 70 percent from last year. You could hear it in his voice as he testified at the State Capitol Monday.
Lawmakers listened. One is even proposing an alternative dispute process that would take less time and less money, perhaps saving dollars and just as importantly, jobs.
Rep. Joyce Peppin, District 34A says, "small companies just don't have resources to fight large companies when it comes down to trademark dispute."
"I'm intrigued of the David versus Goliath story where a bigger brand entity says hey, stop what you're doing," says Jim Lantz, a filmmaker. That's why he brought a film crew to Minnesota, to point out the struggle of one business owner, who insists giving up the firm's name isn't an option for him, "if it saves one person from what I'm going through that would be enough for me," according to Rob Linden.
There's a federal court hearing in April between Robert Linden and Questar.
We asked Questar for reaction to the proposed legislation. While the company can't comment to the specific lawsuit against Linden and Thermal-Wise, Questar spokesperson Darren Shepherd told us "we are very supportive of anything that makes the process simpler and less expensive, but protects our trademark."
