|Pitching with Pritch
Get going to get better
By Larry Pritchett
This week is going to be busy. We are actually on our way to Kansas to take care of some family business and it didn't dawn on me that we might not be back in time to get this week's efforts in on time-and you know how editors are about deadlines. I would rather get things done on time than face the boss' wrath.

Thank you, Janet, and good morning everyone. Welcome to Shippensburg University and welcome to the Ship family. To the new students in the room, were glad youre here and were looking forward to getting to know you! To the parents and others who have joined us, were pleased that youre also here today as we begin your students immersion into university life.
This morning Ill share some information with you about the Universitys mission and culture, and about the academic and student life youll encounter at this place we affectionately call SHIP. Listen and watch for the SHIP words that capture some of the many experiences you may encounter at Shippensburgwords like scholar-SHIP, intern-SHIP, leader-SHIP, champion-SHIP, friend-SHIP, and partner-SHIP.
During orientation, we try to help you navigate through some of the complexities you may encounter as a new student at a university. We hope to make your experience as comfortable and as meaningful as possible.
Please pay close attention to the information thats shared with you today and DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS
You will find Shippensburg University is a very student-oriented place. My job, and everybody elses job on this campus, is to serve you and we really mean it! We strive to make the environment very personalized and your SHIP experiences here as individualized as you are. Well get to know you by your name, not by a number, and well help to fulfill your dreams and expectations.
We are committed to your success. In doing so, we encourage you to think about success, not as a destination, but as a journey. Youre taking the first step today on a major, exciting, and adventurous set of experiences that will help you for the rest of your life. We know it might be very exciting, but it may also be a little scary thats ok. Its new, its different, and we are right beside you and behind you to make your time here very successful.
One of the very special things about Ship is that we value diversity and human understanding. Its a place where everyone is welcome. We have students from all over Pennsylvania, all over the United States, and indeed from all over the world. We pride ourselves on creating a community within our society where we respect each other, we understand each other, and we appreciate our differences. The only thing that differentiates one student from another is his or her academic performance not race, not gender, not sexual orientationnot anything else. We believe a diverse community helps our students prepare to live in an increasingly complex global societya world where you will come in contact with, and work for, people from many different backgrounds and parts of the US and the world.
This institution is nationally recognized for its emphasis on teaching and learning and for its talented faculty. Our faculty members have teaching as their primary responsibility. They are also involved in scholarship, research, and community service, but their major focus is on teaching and your learning experience.More than 85% of our faculty members have doctorates in their respective academic disciplines - an unusually high number for an institution with a mission such as ours. We purposely hire the most talented and qualified faculty to work with you. This is a place where facultyassistant, associate, and full professorswill be in the classroom with you, right from the start.
The personal attention you receive from faculty often creates relationships and friendships that extend over a lifetime as our faculty members often stay in touch with our graduates through professional school and into their careers.
We know that hands-on experience is an effective way to learn. We take learning outside the classroom into the real world. This helps transfer theory into practical experience. It also motivates students to be more interested in the subjects theyre studying. Well do this through field experiences and internships.
We have placed our students in internships with businesses, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. And parents, you will be happy to know that very often internships lead to job offers.
Our students also participate with faculty on research or scholarly projects. Pictured here are Grant Izzo of Mt. Wolf and Larry Ashton of Downingtown who partnered with biology professor Tim Maret on examining the effects of timber harvest on small mammals in Michaux State Forest. They found that timber harvest does not have a negative impact on small mammal populations. Many students attend academic gatherings or meetings around the country to present their research findings with their faculty. Students also choose from a growing number of study abroad opportunities that help them gain a whole new perspective on the world and themselves. Ship has agreements with schools in the British Isles, Australia, central Europe, and a number of other places. We also just sponsored and lead the State System of Higher Education Honors Program trip to Belgium and France.
There is no question that the talents and gifts this incoming class brings to Shippensburg are impressive. But lets be sure to keep things in perspective. Although you are some of the best and brightest students from your high school class our SAT scores and GPAs are up this year, so are many other students coming this fall. This means that the academic competition here will be much more challenging than what you may be used to and that youll find the academic standards in the classrooms much higher than in high school. You may find that you need help in a course or two. Weve made a serious commitment to provide you with academic assistance and support. Everyone struggles at times. I changed my major four times while in college and still graduate in four years. I wasnt afraid to ask and I encourage you not to be afraid to ask for help, and dont wait too long to ask. Your academic advisor can help. Each of you will be assigned an advisor who will assist you as you move through the institution academically. Another resource is the Library/Learning Center where our reference librarians can help you with research and other assignments. The Learning Center, which is located in the library, has a wealth of academic support services. Our Counseling Center staff is also available to help you with any personal issues you may experience, so dont be afraid to take advantage of them. Keep in mind nobodys perfect. Im certainly not!
Some of you know a little bit about the history of the institution and I suspect we have a few alums in the audience accompanying their sons or daughters. Perhaps some of you know that this institution was founded in 1871. It was an outgrowth of the interest of several businessmen in the Cumberland Valley who wanted to create a school to train female teachers for the area. They actually sold stock and, with the money they raised, they built Old Main and hired a principal. The school was named the Cumberland Valley State Normal School. We moved from being a normal school to a State Teachers College in 1927, to a State College in 1960 when we diversified our curriculum and moved heavily into the liberal arts and business, and in 1983 we became Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania with three colleges: Arts and Sciences, Business, and Education and Human Services. In 2021, only 11 years from now, Shippensburg will celebrate its 150th anniversary.
As you walk around campus, you will note that were in the midst of several campus improvement projects. The main entrance at Prince Street is impressive thanks to a gift from the Class of 1959. Major renovations to Dauphin Humanities Center added space for the College of Arts and Sciences. Reisner Dining Hall was just expanded and renovated as a dining facility like no other. Current and future projects in our master plan for facilities on campus include the on-going renovation of Lehman Library, an addition and remodel to the Huber Art Center, the expansion doubling in size of the Ceddia Union Building, and construction of new living and learning residence halls that construction should begin in 2010 for the opening of Phase I in the Fall of 2011. Every project is approached with our students in mind because we are committed to providing the resources they need to succeed at Shippensburg University.
Parents, I want you to know that we intend to encourage your students to get involved in activities outside the classroom. I know this runs counter to some of your thinking, but we know from our own research, as well as national data, that students who get involved in some co-curricular activities are generally more successful academically.
Pictured on the left is Mark Messick, a junior from Middletown who is majoring in supply chain management with a logistics concentration. Mark has been a Resident Assistant since the second semester of his freshman year. He is member in the Shippensburg University Band, the ROTC and is a volunteer fire fighter for the Lower Swatara Fire Department. Last summer Mark worked at the Reading Airport, a job he landed based on the skills he had learned in his major.
Last year our students helped make a difference by volunteering more than 14,000 hours of community service. You will be given information about many of our student groups and organizations and youll be able to sign up for those that interest you, whether its cheerleading, the band, intercollegiate athletics, the school newspaper, campus television, Big Brother/Big Sister, clubs for your academic major, and many other kinds of groups. These groups provide an opportunity for leadership and for broadening your SHIP experience.
Ahhh, residence hall living. You know, it took us about three months to find a room this clean. The parents here know what Im talking about. Actually, youre going to find the residence life program on this campus provides a very supportive and caring environment. This is where many of you will find lifelong friendsin your roommate or in one of the student groups you may join. You will hear much more about Residence Life in other sessions later in the day as well as information for those of you living off campus.
Our food service is managed by Chartwells, an international company that specializes in providing food for college students and has a reputation for doing it very well. In addition to the two student restaurants on campus, youll find a QUIZNOS, STARBUCKS, AND CHICK-FIL-A.
We know you are looking forward to moving to campus in August. Were looking forward to it too and want to make the day go smoothly for everyone. You will soon be receiving instructions for move-in day that will include the time you should check in and the route we recommend you travel based on your residence hall. We ask that you please adhere to your check-in time and recommended route. We know youre anxious to get here, but if everyone shows up at 8 a.m., there will be major congestion
and that means longer waits in traffic, at elevators, and in front of the residence halls. Please help us by sticking to your assigned check-in times and travel routes; with your help, well be able to make move-in day less stressful for everyone.
Another aspect of campus life we value greatly is a sense of community and citizenship. This is a place where we support and care for one another. Its not a place where arguments or disagreements are resolved physically. Its a place where we get involved in rational dialogue, we build consensus, and we move ahead. You will get copies of the student handbook, the Swataney. In it you will find the Student Code of Conduct, which lays out the set of expectations we require you to meet, not just here on the campus, but in the surrounding communities. I urge you to read it then read it again and keep it close at hand. Ignorance of the code will not be a viable defensive if you are facing disciplinary action.
You are an EMERGING ADULT, you have responsibilities, and we expect you to be a person of good character and to behave that way. Frankly, 99% of our students do just that. But there are some who occasionally stray from that path and get themselves into difficulty. There are two areas where you can get into deep trouble very quickly.
The first is involvement with illegal drugs, on or off campus. If you are found guilty in a campus hearing for any drug violation, the sanction is immediate suspension for a minimum of one academic semester and possibly permanently. Dealing drugs will mean permanent expulsion PERIOD no exceptions one strike and youre out.
Second, if youre under 21, dont drink alcohol. It is not permitted on campus regardless of your age and if you are caught on or off campus using alcohol illegally, it could result in suspension or other serious disciplinary sanctions. Our discipline code contains a long arm clause so if you are charged by local authorities, you will not only face the local magistrate, and you will also face university disciplinary procedures.In both cases your parents can be notified immediately; there are no secrets here in this regard. You need to understand whats expected of you as a student of good character on this campus.
Safety and security are clearly major concerns for us. With 17 officers, we have one of the largest police forces in the region. They are all state certified and trained police officers that maintain bicycle patrols, foot patrols, as well as, vehicular patrols. They are always visible and can be very helpful when you need assistance. We also work with our students to provide an evening and late night ride service on campus if you need it. In addition, we have special emergency phones, as well as video cameras, located around campus, which we use to help provide you with the safest possible environment we can.
Our collective goal is your graduation. Here are a handful of our 56,000 alumni living and working around the world.
In a few years we hope we will be projecting some of your pictures up on this screen as distinguished alumni. There is a lot of talent and promise in this room and one day soon you will be proud alumni of Shippensburg University!
The goal is graduation. During your progress toward this goal, you will have an opportunity to grow and develop in many positive and distinct ways. Were going to get you interested in things that you never thought could be interested before, and when you leave here, youll go on and do some very special things in your life.
All we ask is that you bring your commitment to work hard and to use the skills and talents that you have, and well provide the resources and the support services to get you through to commencement. Were here to help you on your journey to success and to help you write your own Ship story.
Ive enjoyed the opportunity to speak with you and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. Thank you for your attention, thank you for choosing Shippensburg University; and good luck to the new students. Have a great day!

WASHINGTON (AP) - An effort to overhaul the military justice system to stem the tide of sexual assault has gained a crucial conservative backer in the Senate.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky announced his support on Tuesday for legislation sponsored by Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York that would remove commanders from the process of deciding whether serious crimes, including sexual misconduct cases, go to trial.
That judgment would rest instead with seasoned trial lawyers who have prosecutorial experience and hold the rank of colonel or above.
Paul joined Gillibrand at a Capitol Hill news conference along with other Republicans and Democrats who back the measure. The effort now has the support of 33 senators.
The Senate could decide the issue later this month if lawmakers consider a sweeping defense bill.

LJ might not be the fastest, but he's gettng attention from the Broncos.
Iowa State's Leonard Johnson a better cornerback than his speed suggests - The Denver Post
Glad to see he is getting some love. Can Mods fix the spelling?
Its beyond pride. Its a restored trust. Theres a confidence again, a passion that teeters on swagger. More than anything, (Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads) has restored the Iowa State it factor, the steadfast belief that it is great to be a Cyclone...the mans enthusiasm is genuine to the core...
columnist Sean Keeler, Des Moines Register
Way to go LJ
Definitely want to see Leonard in Denver.
I'd love to see any cyclone be an NFL starter...just so I can see or hear them say "*insert player here*, Iowa State*" on TV.

The final piece to the dream team?
"Success isn't owned. It's leased, and rent is due everyday" -J.J. Watt
I think the key for LJ will be to land on a team that really needs CB help and to hit the ground running.
I think his combine dropped him a few rounds and because of that teams will probably value their higher picks more when training camp comes around. He needs to be on a team that really needs CB help. Then he can get the practice reps he needs to prove how good of a player he is.
I think it he actually gets a chance that he could start for a lot of teams. His potentially low draft selection will put him in a tough position for getting that shot.

That would be awesome. Might have to buy a new Broncos jersey!!!
What better person to help teach LJ the CB position than Champ Bailey. LJ to Denver YES PLEASE. I'm still ticked that Denver let Reggie get away.

I was just thinking this morning that Broncos could use some secondary help and that they should pick up LJ. That would be awesome!
Some of those scouts said he had "horrible speed" at the combines. And I guess that seeing the numbers, I wouls somewhat agree. I would really hope though, that NFL scouts are smarter than just looking at numbers. Just get some game film on the guy and you would see why you want him on your team. Hell, just put in the video of ISU beating OK St. and you'll see a good reason why ISU won that game.
I understand that good college player doesn't necessarily translate into NFL talent, but with who LJ faced last year, I have a tough time believing he wouldn't be a good get. Yeah, you've got to have speed to keep up with the receivers, but that position is so much about angles, anticipation and positioning that if you look soley at the numbers, you might be missing a great football player.

I'm pretty sure the Cowboys cut Terence Newman because they are looking at LJ.
Wouldn't that **** off a bunch of you...

I have never liked the Cowboys, even when everyone jumped on the bandwagon with the Big 3.
However, if they were to draft LJ and he has a chance to start for them, I will have a lot more respect for the Cowboys. I will probably try and watch them on TV as well.
I wont say that I will become a Cowboy fan, because that might make me throw up, but they will deffinitely move up a few slots in my book.

Born March 21, 1962 into an Irish-American family in Commack, Long Island, O'Donnell was the middle of five children. Her mother died when she was 10 years old - a devastating event that would inform almost every aspect of her adult life. As with all good clowns, O'Donnell channeled her pain into comedy, developing her brazen, unabashed style while still a Long Island high school student. She dropped out of college, opting for the less-than-glamorous life of the stand-up circuit. Honing her craft further on the road, she went on to make her TV debut on "Star Search" in 1984, winning the syndicated show's comedy competition five times by decade's end.

Baldwin gains steam down stretch
1 2 Next page >
If there's a keyword that's starting to define Baldwin on the hardwood this season, it's balance. On offense, three players hit double figures in a 76-33 victory over East Meadow last Saturday, while the Jets were the second consecutive team the Bruins (10-2 overall, 7-1 in Conference AA-II) held below 35 points.
"We're playing good ball right now," Baldwin coach Darius Burton said. "We changed our press up to adjust to our personnel. We're catching people off guard because they know what we normally do."
East Meadow was held to seven points in the first quarter and just five in the third, and guard Cody Zafran, who scored a game-high 24 points in the first meeting back in December, was limited to just six in the rematch. "We wore them down with defense," Burton said. "We got some big pressure on the ball and everyone helped and communicated."
The aggressive defensive effort was fueled in part by senior Eric Mack, whose first season in the Bruins program has already been record-breaking. Mack scored seven points and grabbed eight rebounds, but it's his eight blocks that jump off the stat sheet, much like he does the court. Through a dozen games, Mack has already blocked 69 shots—shattering the previous team record of 58—and averages a healthy 12 points and 10 rebounds per game.
"He's a difference-maker," Burton said, noting that it's not just the blocked shots, but how Mack blocks them. "He's blocking shots but keeping them inbounds. He trails people, he's blocking his man, he's blocking on 2-on-1 fast breaks.
"We can extend our pressure, get up more and take chances more."
Senior Elijah MacMillan scored a game-high 12 points, while senior point guard Travais Hylton scored 11. Junior Jordan Williams turned in a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

The ebb and flow of the waves of the sea are in a constant state of balance, complementing each other perfectly to form the ceaseless rhythm of the ocean lapping against the shore. Your skin is also in a state of balance related to its acidity or pH, but unlike the balance of the ocean, the content of your skin has the potential to become skewed. As a result of these changes to the acid-base balance of your skin, the tissue can become oily, dehydrated or irritated all over or in patches or splotches. The Thalgo Toners and Clarifiers collection uses ingredients sourced from the sea to help your skin become perfectly balanced just like the tides.
The products in the Thalgo Toners and Clarifiers collection use marine plant extracts to make tiny adjustments to the pH of your skin. Although these changes are subtle, the effects of the Thalgo Toners and Clarifiers are noticeable and profound. Regular use of the Thalgo Toners and Clarifiers range provides you with a more even skin tone and texture for a radiant complexion.
Help your skin regain the balance necessary to look its best with the Thalgo Toners and Clarifiers collection. The lineup of products in the collection evens out your skin texture while promoting the exfoliation and rejuvenation of cells. The toners and clarifiers produced by Thalgo form a vital step in any healthy skin care regimen and are available in a variety of formulations, so that you can find a selection ideal for your skin type and tone.
Thalgo Pure Freshness Tonic Lotion uses gelidium sesquipedale extract derived from nutrient-rich red algae as its primary ingredient. Suited to use on complexions with normal and combination skin types, the toner moisturizes the skin tissue while balancing its natural acid-base content. Grapefruit extract found in the lotion provides the added benefit of age-fighting nourishment to prevent fine lines.
Thalgo Cocooning Tonic Lotion envelops sensitive skin in a soothing, healing layer of natural ingredients, including gelidium sesquipedale extract. The toner is designed to provide the maximum level of hydration for parched skin and includes date extract to soften and heal troubled tissue. All of the ingredients in the clarifier were selected for their ability to produce maximum results without irritating even the most sensitive skin types.
Thalgo Super Lift Tonic Lotion is the perfect toner for mature skin thanks to its unique formulation, which actually firms the skin the moment it is applied. Mango extract in the formula partners with gelidium sesquipedale extract to hydrate, balance and tone sagging, dehydrated tissue.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this Helsinki Commission hearing on combating trafficking for forced labor purposes in the OSCE Region, including the United States.
Trafficking in human beings is an egregious human rights violation and a serious transnational crime facing governments all over the world. According to a 2005 International Labor Organization report, of the 12.3 million victims of forced labor, approximately 2.4 million were trafficked for forced labor purposes.
Trafficking for forced labor is a major problem in many OSCE countries. In Armenia, for example, both men and women are trafficked for forced labor, while an International Organization for Migration (IOM) report asserts that 38 percent of trafficked persons assisted by IOM in Belarus were male victims of forced labor. Although the U.S., like many other OSCE states, continues to be challenged by limitations in the systems utilized for data gathering in human trafficking cases, we have seen progress in our anti-trafficking efforts. In one significant case, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, working with the FBI successfully investigated and prosecuted organized criminals who were trafficking Eastern European women into the United States to work as exotic dancers in Michigan. In his book Nobodies: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy, John Bowe describes three cases of forced labor in the U.S.: in Immokalee, Florida, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Saipan (a U.S. commonwealth in the Western Pacific).
Trafficking for forced labor frequently involves physical and psychological abuse of the victims; generates millions of dollars in illicit financial profits to the perpetrators, which are often organized criminal groups; and leads to thousands of migrants crossing international borders with fraudulent documents.
Trafficking in persons for forced labor purposes is less understood than trafficking for sexual exploitation because it has largely remained a hidden form of exploitation. However, it is no less serious. In the OSCE region, it has accelerated in recent years as a result of the economic disruption caused by the collapse of Communism in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, as well as the wars in the former Yugoslavia. A high worldwide demand for women and children as sex workers, sweatshop labor and domestic servants has fueled the market for forced labor. At the same time, increasing restrictions on immigration to many destination countries, including the United States and Western Europe has led many migrants to turn to human traffickers, despite the risks involved.
The OSCE demonstrated its commitment to combating trafficking in human beings in 2003, with the adoption of the OSCE Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings. Among other requirements, the Action Plan calls upon member states to make forced labor a crime by incorporating the definition of human trafficking contained in the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children. The establishment of the position of Special Representative and Coordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings has given greater focus to addressing this critical challenge in the OSCE region.
Since the adoption of these anti-trafficking protocols, the OSCE participating states have made significant strides in combating the sexual dimension of human trafficking. But there is a growing consensus that more needs to be done to understand the scope and challenge of humans trafficked for forced servitude.
Presently, many member states have not adopted legislation to specifically address trafficking for forced labor purposes. In addition, much of the resources and early anti-trafficking efforts have been directed at identifying and prosecuting sexual trafficking cases. The U.S. Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, which was authored by Helsinki Commission Ranking Member Christopher Smith, includes in its definition of human trafficking, "the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor services, through the use of force, fraud or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery."
Yet, we have seen relatively few prosecutions of forced labor perpetrators. A September 23rd Washington Post article on the subject of human trafficking raises several questions which are worthy of examination: Are there in fact, significant numbers of trafficking cases that go undetected? Or do we simply not have a full grasp of the scope of human trafficking? Or conversely, how reliable are trafficking statistics?
This morning, we examine these issues as we hear from two expert panels on efforts to combat trafficking for forced labor purposes in the OSCE region. We look forward to the testimony of three key U.S. government agencies, represented by Ambassador Mark Lagon, from the. Department of State, Ms. Charlotte Ponticelli, from the Department of Labor; and Mr. Michael Feinberg, from the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement. We are also grateful to have the participation of Ms. Eva Biaudet, the OSCE's Special Representative and Coordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings, Mr. Roger Plant, of the International Labor Organization, and Mr. Kevin Bales, of Free the Slaves. The witnesses bios are available at the entrance.
Without objection, your prepared statements will be entered into the Record. Please summarize your oral testimony. Ambassador Lagon, you may begin.

My lab & GSP passed on 4&5yrs ago & I haven't bird hunted enough since moving to the city to feel the need to replace them.......so we're left with these 2 ferocious beasts...
Toby (YorkieXShih tzu)
Toby & Koda (YorkieXPoodle)
Cool thread. I love dogs.
He does, and in my case, with very little effort.
My lab Maverik and my daughter after a dove hunt a couple of falls ago when we lived in Nebraska. It was a first dove hunt for both of them. He's been a great dog. Good with my kids and great in the field. His first two falls in Nebraska he got doves, grouse, pheasants, ducks and geese under his belt. Hoping to get some sage grouse, and chuckers out here!
This is Jazzie. We got her from the Humane society when she was about a year and a half. She has finally started to calm down a little and has mostly stopped chewing on everything. She is tons of fun and very protective over her house... unless you have food then everyone is best friends. I had to put the picture of the "cone of shame" on here. One of her best pictures yet!
Funny story about her... the first time we took her to go swimming she was actually scared of the water. She wouldn't get in it at all. I finally picked her up, tossed her in, and we still can't get her out of the water now! Who would have though there would be a lab that would be scared of water... no problems now!
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.

to Le Creuset and just about anything else you could want. So the starter set I am giving away looks a little something like this:
It comes with a big canning pot-holds 7 quart jars! A rack to hold those 7 jars in the pot, a strainer/colander, TONGS(very important!) two sets of them, a jar gripper thingy, a magnetic wand to fish lids out of hot water with and the all important mega funnel for pouring boiling hot sugar and fruit mixtures in to sterilized jars. I picked this out last week and one lucky ducky reader will be on their way to eating their harvest through the winter.
But then I discovered at a critical point in my jelly making season I was OUT OF PECTIN. Not good! I quickly ordered more and dropped them a note telling them it was critical and I was in DIRE need of good pectin. The wonderful Workstead Industries that sells Pomona Pectin understood my predicament and I had my pectin in 4 days. That is some customer service, just one of the MANY reasons I love Pomona Pectin. The others can be found here and here and here. Basically I love their pectin because you don't have to use the store bought pectin that requires you to use 5 cups of juice and 9 cups of sugar. Yes you read that right almost double the amount of sugar to juice. cough. I like that you can add as much or as little sweetener as you like. They encourage you to play around and make up your own recipes. And you can use honey or any other kind of sweet stuff you want. Yep they rock. I asked if they wanted to add a box of pectin to my canning set up giveaway and you know what? They sent me a box to share with you!
|I buy mine in 1/2 pound packs
|this is a good start for a normal person
That's a 9 piece canning set and a box of pectin that makes 2-4 batches of jelly or jam. Because I love you that's why!
So pop on over to Pomona Pectin and tell me what jelly or jam you'd be make first with your new canning set up from CSN, that's entry number one, just leave a comment. You can earn additional entries by:
- adding me to your blog roll-leave a separate comment
- following me-leave a separate comment
- participate in next Monday's Just Another Meatless Monday-leave a separate comment
If you are local come on down to NonEssentials in Palmer tonight, that is Thursday September 9th 6-8pm! They are having a little thingy thing with Neal's Yard Remedies NYR, yeah I could use a little radiance especially with BlogHer Food coming up. I'm going to need a WHOLE load of help, ha! Organic and natural skin care for beautiful glowing skin, I could REALLY use some of that, couldn't you? That's NonEssentials in Palmer with Neal's Yard Remedies NYR, tonight be there or be square!

2009 Dodge Challenger - A Challenging ProjectWritten by on June 20, 2011 What Late-Model Upgrades should we perform next?
The new Dodge Challenger really hit the mark in terms of retro-appearance, Hemi performance, and luxury car amenities, so it's no wonder you see more and more Challengers on the road these days. We loved the look of the '08 SRT models but decided to wait until the '09 R/Ts were available to make our purchase, setting the goal of outperforming an SRT model with our R/T. We've really enjoyed driving our Challenger over the past year or so, and it has responded well to the upgrades we've performed so far. This month we'll update you on what we've done to our Challenger, and would love to hear your feedback about what kind of late-model tech you'd like to see in the future.
After taking delivery of our '09 Challenger R/T, we were impressed by the overall performance, feel, and quality of the vehicle. Daimler/Benz had a big influence on the original LX platform cars, but we weren't sure how much of that refinement would carry over into the Challenger. Though its marginally shorter wheelbase does make ride quality slightly stiffer than Charger, Magnum, or 300 models, the Challenger is comfortable and handles well in stock form, but who wants to leave anything stock? With a mere few thousand miles on the odometer we began installing items like a K & N cold air system and Magnaflow cat-aft exhaust system that wouldn't void our warranty. And while the car responded well to these upgrades, we felt it needed additional power and a better look, so we kept modifying our car.
The biggest difference in the performance of our Challenger came when we installed Procharger's centrifugal supercharger kit on our 5.7 Hemi. This was a fantastic modification, providing an additional 100 rear-wheel horsepower while retaining the car's stock idle characteristics and drivability. Best of all, the supercharger is quiet and fits completely under the hood, so there's no external indication that our car is packing a much better punch than it did in factory form. The Procharger kit for the Challenger and other LX platform cars installs easily in a weekend, and definitely wakes up the already potent Hemi engine. To monitor boost and fuel pressure, we also installed an A-pillar gauge pod from Razor's Edge Motorsports to house our Procharger instruments. So with an extra 100 or so horsepower on tap, we decided to turn our attention to the aesthetics and handling of our late-model project car.
Externally the lines of the new Challenger are great, imitating the E-Body in overall form though the two cars are not dimensionally close whatsoever. Dodge does offer several stripe kits for the R/T model, but ours came without stripes installed. We contacted Graphic Express, who offers several stripes and accent decals for the new Challenger, and installed a '71-style R/T stripe and hood blackout on our silver car. To match the black accents, we had our rear spoiler painted in matching matte black by JD's Paint and Body shop. Eventually, we installed a shaker fiberglass hood and scoop system from Classic Design Concepts for a truly retro look. Though we like the factory stance of the Challenger, we felt the ride height was just a little high for our taste, especially given the high waistline of the car, so we decided to lower the Challenger but wanted to do it correctly.
Summit Racing Equipment already stocks lots of new parts for the LX Mopars, and sent us a lowering and sport suspension kit from Eibach. This kit not only improved the looks of our Challenger by lowering the car about an inch and a half, but also improved the car's handling characteristics dramatically. The Eibach suspension kit comes with new struts with more aggressive valving, and larger diameter sway bars as well. Our friends at Inline Performance Specialists made short work of the suspension upgrades, which required the removal of the entire rear subframe in order to install the rear sway bar. The Eibach suspension upgrades, along with a bumpsteer kit and adjustable sway bar end links from Razor's Edge Motorsports, made a noticeable difference in the handling of our car, without negatively affecting ride quality. The car really turns heads now as well, with the visual upgrades and lower stance.
Next we moved to our car's NAG1 automatic transmission, ordering an upgraded transmission and converter package from Gearstar Performance. We've obviously got plans for a more powerful engine in our car's future and wanted to be sure the transmission was up to the task. Gearstar Performance offers several levels of modification for the NAG1, upgrading our transmission not only to handle the abuse our supercharged stock Hemi will give it, but also readying our car for even more power in case we build a bigger Hemi for our Challenger.
So far, we're happy with our new Dodge and are enjoying the looks and performance of the upgrades we've performed so far. It's great to be able to jump in a new Dodge car and do a burnout with the rear wheels, which until lately wasn't possible. But with our car driving and performing better than it did new, we have to consider what to do next. Should we upgrade the independent rear suspension with new axle shafts and a new differential? What about upgrading our car's disc brakes? We're also considering lightening our car up as well as improving safety and stiffening the suspension with shock tower braces and maybe even a rollbar before building a new engine.
Your FeedbackHere's your chance to offer your opinion about our late-model tech. What types of modifications and upgrades would you like to see in the pages of Mopar Muscle Magazine? Are we building our Challenger the way you would do it or are there things we can do better? In upcoming issues we're planning to upgrade the brakes of our car and show you some tricks that will lighten up your LX Mopar, followed by an engine swap or engine build to make even more power. Let us know how we're doing and share your thoughts about late-model tech by going to www.moparmusclemagazine.com. We'll listen to your opinions, and your input will help us provide a magazine that appeals to the owners of both new and classic Mopars!

When the new Challengers hit the dealerships, we waited until the '09 R/T models came in before getting ours from Citrus Dodge in Dade City, Florida. These cars are very nice performance vehicles in stock form, but we couldn't wait to begin modifying ours.Dodge really hit the mark with the new Challenger, building a car that looks much like the older version from a platform that is dimensionally much different......Side by side the differences are apparent, but when driving our new Challenger we're still surprised by how many people believe it's an older car.Even in stock form the new Challenger is a good performance car, offering rapid acceleration, nice handling......And more creature comforts than were dreamed of when the original Challengers came out. Even at a hefty 4100 pounds, R/T models will run easy low 14-second quarter-miles.Compared to other late-model offerings, the new Challenger is somewhat large by comparison. From the driver seat, however, the car handles nicely and feels lighter than its 4,000 pounds.We wanted to set our car apart from other Challengers on the road, so we took it to Graphic Express where they installed vinyl side stripes and hood treatment...
One of the first upgrades we performed on our Challenger was a cold air intake from K & N. This modification was good for an improvement in horsepower and torque and gave our engine a more throaty sound.We had our chance to race an SRT-8 Challenger press car at Lakeland dragstrip one evening, giving up about a half second to the larger displacement 6.1-liter Hemi. This inspired us to give our R/T more power for a rematch....We installed a Magnaflow cat-aft stainless steel exhaust incorporating an X-pipe system on our Challenger, netting a few more horsepower and lb-ft of torque.When it comes to adding power, a supercharger can really boost performance (no pun intended). Our kit from Procharger included everything we'd need to force-feed our Hemi, providing 5-6 psi of intercooled air, resulting in more power to the wheels.On the chassis dyno the Procharger parts really woke our Challenger up, providing an additional 100 rear-wheel horsepower. Best of all, the Procharger system can be bolted to a stock engine, provides no loss of drivability or idle quality, and the power is there when you need it.We all want our car to stand out, and we felt a shaker style hood would be a good look for our Challenger.Fortunately Classic Design Concepts offers a fiberglass hood kit with a shaker scoop. We had JD's Paint and Body shop apply the silver hue before bolting the kit on our car.
We wanted our car to handle better and have a lower stance, so we took it to Inline Performance Specialists and installed an Eibach sport suspension kit from Summit Racing Equipment......This suspension system, along with a Razor's Edge bumpsteer kit and adjustable sway bar links, helped us achieve both goals without sacrificing ride quality.The NAG1 automatic transmission installed in the new Mopars is actually a pretty tough unit derived from a Mercedes automatic transmission.Gearstar Performance builds them even tougher, however, and provided us with one of their bulletproof NAG1s along with a converter to better match our combination.With our performance modifications thus far, our Challenger has run some really low 13s at Gainesville Raceway, at over 110 mph. While this is a good starting point, we want our car to be quicker, so what should we do next?

Hi everyone!
Sorry for my english, it if far from perfect so please, forgive me any mistakes For a while, I'm creating a fantasy world. For now it is only a hobby, but hopefully one day i will start writing books using this world as a lore, but for now i just need map which will help me find place for all this baronies, cities, castles and villages. I want to ask you for something which is quite simple to draw (I hope so - it is still too hard for me). I need a draft of quite long and thin peninsula. It should look a bit like Scandinavia but directed to the north-northern east. I want only an outline: no names, no cities, no rivers, mountains, forests, countries, (I will add them by myself) etc. just shorelines. It is quite similar request to this , but i have more specific needs.
1. As I said it should be peninsula,
2. curved a little bit - like a "(",
3. directed to NNE,
4. proportions and size roughly like the Scandinavia,
5. connection to the main continent should be thinner becouse of:
6. long bay separating the peninsula nad the continent,
7. shape of the continent doesnt really matter as long as it is on the southern borders of the map
8. visible part of it shuld be like 1/4 or 1/5 of the peninsula,
9. there may be as many islands as you want just dont make them too big,
10. There should be some deep fjords on the eastern shore but western should be simpler,
11. oh and whole draft should be quite realistic.
This is propably all, but if you are not sure if you know how should it look then please, ask me before you start drawing. What about size - bigger is better, also more complex is better, but as long as I'm not paying for this I won't demand much

6 Tips for a Healthy Holiday Season
While the holidays can be fun, they can also be a time of sickness and poor health. The House Plan Shop encourages you to review the following tips for a healthy holiday season.
- Keep Warm – For most parts of North America, the holidays come with the changing temperatures and cold weather. Cold temperatures can cause serious health problems, especially for the elderly and infants. Dress warm using several layers of clothing and stay dry. Don't forget to cover your head and hands.
- Wash your Hands – Keeping your hands clean is one of the easiest and most important steps you can take to avoid getting sick and prevent spreading germs to others. Airports, shopping malls, grocery stores and restaurants are filled with germs, and they are all places we seem to spend more time than normal during the holidays. Wash your hands often with soap and warm, clean running water Scrub for at least 20 seconds. If clean water and soap are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Remember Food Safety – When preparing holiday meals, cookies and other edibles keep you and your family safe from food-related illnesses. Wash your hands and food-prep surfaces often. Avoid cross-contamination by keeping meat, seafood, poultry and eggs (and their juices) away from ready to eat foods. Thoroughly clean cooking utensils, pots, pans and dishes in between uses. Cook foods to their proper temperatures. Refrigerate leftovers immediately. Do not leave perishable foods out for more than two hours.
- Manage Stress – The holidays are a time of fun and cheer so don't let them take a toll on your body and health. Keep a relaxed and positive outlook on all holiday activities. Avoid over commitment and manage your time between home, work and fun. Also, manage your holiday budget and do not overspend. In addition, get plenty of rest.
- Eat Healthy, Be Active – Moderation is the key to following a healthy diet during the holidays. Substitute your favorite piece of fruit for candy. Eat small portions so you can enjoy a small taste of all of your favorite holiday meals. When it comes to dessert, choose one or two of your favorites from the plethora of sweets and treats at holiday parties. Make an effort to schedule a half hour of exercise every day. Also, encourage your family to participate in fun, healthy activities…and a little fresh air will do everyone some good. Take a walk through the neighborhood with the kids after dinner to look at holiday light displays. Go sled riding. Organize a family game of football or kickball before dinner.
- Medication Management – It is easy to get off track, change your schedule and skip your daily routines during the holidays due to so many different special activities and gatherings. If you take daily medications, it is important to stick to your medication schedule. Take medications on time as prescribe. Do not make changes in how you take medication. If you always take your medications with breakfast, make sure you continue taking them with breakfast. If you are traveling out of town for the holidays, don't forget to pack your medications. It is important that you do not skip doses.
Keep these health tips in mind to ensure you have a happy and healthy holiday season.

I have a test server that has worked very well, and I have put a fair bit of work into the mailing lists, resources, users, etc. I am planning the move to a production server and would like to be able to 'copy' the test server instance of zimbra over to the production server (new hardware) rather than re-enter all that data on a new instance of zcs.
I didn't see anything in the wiki about 'moving servers', so I thought i'd post here, to ask for help.
The hostname for the production server will be the same as the test server. However, the new server will have more memory and a different IP address.
So here was my initial idea on how to do this (please shoot holes in it!)
- Build production server
- Install zcs
- stop all zcs services on both servers
- change MX record to point to new server (ttl is min)
- delete /opt/zimbra on new server
- copy /opt/zimbra/* from test server to new server
- reboot and cross fingers...
Does zcs contain everything in /opt/zimbra/* besides the /etc/init.d script? Can you just move a server like that?
Thanks for any advice and or pointers to the proper way to do this.

Moss pollution remediation
this wiki
- Solar cooked charcoal PET bottle Moss Garden Kids Project
- Moss fights back against smog.
- http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn22313-scattering-moss-can-restore-key-carbon-sink.html
- Step back in time to before flowering plants to help the planet recover from urban smog.
PET MOSS Smog Remediation Recipe
Zeolite, charcoal, moss, rainwater, PET bottle.
Small airborne particles of dust and pollution are trapped by the moss.
Moss manages humidity during the day, as in a rainforest,
absorbing and releasing water vapour as it soaks up water, and dries out.
The moss builds a mound above the waterline in the PET bottle.
The charcoal and zeolite mix needs to be level and even with the edge of hole.
- Pack dry sticks in a metal tin as tightly as possible.
- Heat wood in the closed tin to approx. 300 degrees Centigrade in a solar cooker.
- (Somewhere between 200 C for a couple of hours and 400 C for half an hour will do).
There is a good explanation of the overall benefits of turning woodchips or other biomass such as corn cobs to charcoal on the .Solar Fire open source web page
- The wood will give off smoke and water vapour below 200 C unless the lid is very tight..
- Wipe the pyrex bowl lid to remove moisture and soot if its building up on the inside, before it gets too hot to handle.
- Over 200 C approx. the wood is carbonizing.
- The time and temperature needed to turn the entire contents to charcoal depend on the wood used, the size of the sticks and the solar variables like cloud cover.
- Over 400 C approx. the wood which is now charcoal ignites and burns to ash.
- Best to leave one set up for a whole day first time, with enough mirror capacity to get over 200 C for a couple of hours, but less than what it would take to set it alight. Same as with cooking food, you're cooking the wood.
- This is the solar pyrolysis process.
- The wood doesn't create embers, when there is no air flow in the tin, there isn't enough oxygen for it to burn, and under 400 C it is less likely to ignite. .
- Sit an oven thermometer on top of the tin under the pyrex, so you can see the temp climb.
- Remove tin from pyrex bowls in the evening or next morning, when cooled.
- When you open the cooled tin the heat from the sun has turned the sticks to charcoal.
- You can do a drawing with them, and/or the following project.
- Solar cooked charcoal retains the tar in the tin and on the charcoal, making it a bit sticky to handle. As the temperature increases the stickiness decreases. Many Australian seed pods such as gumnuts and banksias, are germinated by fire, so putting them in the solar cooker will result in seedlings in the PET moss garden.
- Charcoal improves the soils ability to grow plants AND captures carbon dioxide, it is cabon sequestration.
- You can help cool the planet by putting charcoal in the soil.
- Terra preta owes its name to its very high charcoal content, and was made by adding a mixture of charcoal, bone, and manure to the otherwise relatively infertile Amazonian soil. It is very stable and remains in the soil for thousands of years. Its called Biochar in English speaking countries.

PET bottle guerrilla garden
- Just crush the smaller pieces of charcoal in the tin a little bit, add zeolite and rainwater, stir..
PET bottle = Soft Coke or soft drink bottle.
- Cut a hatch or hole in the body of the PET bottle.
- Inside put your mixture of charcoal, zeolite and rainwater.
- Top with moss from round the garden, not off concrete, off the soil or the shady side of a tree!
: Moss and zeolite are both hydrophilic, they love water.
- The PET bottle will create a mini micro climate, which will form condensation inside the bottle to run down to the moss.
- While the moss is getting established it would be ideal if the PET bottles are close to a pond, in a greenhouse, or shady place. Water them with rainwater when it begins to dry out.
- In a dry zone your Moss PET bottle can have a hatch opening, or use a wide mouth bottle to begin with, placing the moss with chopsticks.. Close the lid, your moss can go a couple of weeks with the lid closed, in semi or full shade.
- Tie your Moss PET bottle on a wire fence in partial shade, or the shady side of a building.
- Hang square shape PET bottles through a fence or railing, tying the lids or handles together.
- Check the moss to see if its soft and green each day. If it has drived out spray it with rainwater from a spray bottle.
- In arid areas the PET bottle can be used with just the cap taken off once a week when watered.
- In high rainfall areas the PET bottles can also be used with the cap taken off once a week, to stop mosquito larvae germinating in them.
- Seedlings and grasses that pop up can be transplanted out to tubes or into the ground nearby.
- Charcoal is also a natural bioremediation tool to trap nutrients and pollution particles. Moss grows well on charcoal. Moss eats smog, removing fine particles from the air. Its the air equivalent of a fish tank filter, which sometimes uses zeolite also.
This Zeolite Charcoal Moss recipe is useful for Guerrilla Gardening sites alongside busy roads in industrial areas, in shady places, on railings and walls that don't get much sunlight.
These PET bottles can be put on window sills on the shady side of the street, on balconies, or stuck through balcony and stair railings. A few of these will help get that 'Rainforest' clean air happening.
Chernobyl 25 years after the nuclear reactor accident has bioaccumulation of radiation in the moss, and in the forest. It won't go away for 250 years, so our kids, grandkids and great grandkids are gong to have to know about where the radiation is in the enviroment, how to avoid it, how to deal with it, or else there won't be a 4th generation. It will take up to 30 generations of avoiding contamination in humans before they will be safe from genetic damage.
The 2010 study on urban air across Europe below explains how Moss bioaccummulates..

Mushrooms and fungi bioaccummulate the most, then animals that feed on them. Some moulds and fungi use the radioactive energy to grow inside the core of the blown up reactor.
PET Project Results
UNCANNY TERRAIN Film about Fukushima
- The PET bottle moss will bioaccumulate smog particles, and should be disposed of in an appropriate Council waste stream, when the project is completed, or when the PET bottle is full of moss.
- If you are living in an area where there has been radioactive fallout, your moss will accumulate radioactive particles.
- If fungi or mushrooms grow in the PET bottle DO NOT EAT THEM.
- === ZEOLITE use in Japan===
- Zeolite is a natural bioremediation tool to trap heavy metals, radiation particles. It is used in Fukushima on the fields and in the town to rehabilitate the soil.
- Zeolite has a lattice of positively charged particles that trap smog particles, and radiation particles FROM THE AIR.
- Zeolite is used in disposable nappies and is hydrophilic, it attracts water molecules.
- Fukushima-diary has an update on the radiation fallout situation in Japan.

FUKUSHIMA Organic Farmers continue to fight on.
- Here are some recent images of the Children and farmers of Fukushima.
- A film in English is being made about their situation, and their determination to carry on.
- Bioremediation of fields with zeolite and special organic mycoremediation with fungi and composting is being tried by the farmers, so that the micro organisms consumer the radioactive isotopes and render them neutralised in the soil, so the plants are less radioactive. They are trying very hard to make their community safe, with plantings of sunflowers, mustard and other accumulator plants.

I've penned another column at Campus Reform. This week, it is centered around a video from Portland State University featuring MSA and SJP students denouncing a pro-Israel event hosted by the College Republicans.
Here's an excerpt:
College is meant to be a place where free speech comes alive. Different viewpoints are supposed to be welcome and intellectual diversity celebrated.
For at least one loud minority on college campuses, however, the rights and the privileges afforded by the First Amendment only extend to those who share their exact beliefs.
Let me give you one recent example.
The College Republicans of Portland State University, hosted a viewing of the 2005 documentary film "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" only to leave after the pro-Palestinian group attempt a hostile takeover of the event.
Before the event began, pro-Palestinian activists attempted to route the event by storming the stage making loud announcements about a competing event in the hallway outside where students could "meet real Muslims."
When the documentary ended things got worse. The "activists" yelled, shouted and attempted to pick fights with the organizers. The scene was reminiscent of feeding time at the zoo.

Just installed the latest version (congrats on this first non-Beta version).
A few comments:
- Preview pane: Good fix, I can see the messages in FF 1.5, and the Preview Pane has finally fell into place;
- Calendar i18n: I'm not certain if this is related to bug 5245, but the behavior of a new appointment is quite erratic, when the browser default language is something else than English (I use French). When setting up an appointment, using the small calendar to input the begin and end date, the month and day are reversed, which means a meeting on the 01/02/06 (February the first) would be created on the 02/01/06 (January the second). Quite a problem, since the French and European users will have to set their browser default language to English if they want the appointment system to work properly. Furthermore, in one instance (I could not reproduce the bug), setting a single appointment on a single day (no "repeat") did produce a whole month of daily appointments! My hunch is that this problem is related to the Calendar "interchangable day-month" bug somehow.
- Calendar appointment status: When setting up an appointment, and inviting someone through the "attendees" field, the said appointment instantly becomes "accepted", without the return mail being received.
- SMTP default port: I would suggest that further versions of Zimbra use 587 as a default port for SMTP, so that users may use their favorite client behind any blocking-the-port-25-to-prevent-spam type of ISP.
Having said that, all kudos to the Zimbra team (and in particular those with the difficult job of answering all of our posts) for this incredible software :) .

Beach Boys push historic status for Trestles
SACRAMENTO Trestles in north San Diego County may become the first surfing spot listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, a move that has drawn the support of the Beach Boys who were inspired by the San Onfore beach culture.
The State Historic Preservation Commission Friday unanimously declared Trestles to be eligible for the designation, citing the area's history and contributions to California culture.
The application submitted by the San Clemente-based Surfrider Foundation must still be approved by the National Register of Historic Places.
The decision came after the commission heard testimony from critics, who claimed that the surf spot's place in California history is exaggerated, that a listing would interfere with military training at Camp Pendleton and the request is a political move to erect another barrier to extending the State Route 241 toll road toward San Onofre.
Supporters said Trestles deserves a special spot in history given its role in surf culture since 1933. Trestles, which is actually the umbrella name for a handful of surf-friendly wave breaks, is just south of the Orange County line along San Onofre State Beach.
Two members of the Beach Boys, whose songs played a big role in defining Southern California culture, sent letters of support.
"The California surfing lifestyle, attitude and culture that started a national trend and reached a worldwide audience is deeply rooted at Trestles and San Onofre," wrote Mike Love, lead singer.
He told commissioners that the lyrics penned 50 years ago in the top hit 'Surfin' USA" lyrics were drawn from their experiences on San Onofre Beach.
In his letter, Bruce Johnston, who joined the Beach Boys in 1965, recalled being chased by Marines because they were trespassing to surf the breaks at Trestles from 1959 to 1961.
"Trestles still rocks in 2013," he wrote.
The National Registry of Historic Places confirmed Friday that no other surfing location has qualified for listing, either in California or Hawaii.
"Its an affirmation of the cultural impact that surfing has had on the world," Jim Kempton, president of the Oceanside-based California Surf Museum, said after the state commission vote.
During testimony, supporters showed old-time photographs that seemed straight out of Hollywood's surf-movie stereotypes of 15-foot boards, "Woody" station wagons and people playing ukuleles around bonfires.
Commissioners spoke little, but one did address the Marines concerns about being required to consult with the commission before launching new initiatives and training that may affect Trestles.
"It is my understanding that the consultation process is just that. You need to consult … In the end you can say we're hitting the beach," said Donn Grenda, a commissioner and adjunct professor at the University of Redlands.
In his testimony, Marine Col. Eugene Apicella, deputy commander at Pendleton, warned that a listing could hamper training exercises, particularly when it comes to amphibious landings at beaches along the north end of the base.
"We don't have the ability to predict any action when we need to conduct an operation," Apicella told commissioners.
But they do try to notify the public, as is with the case with an upcoming exercise.
"That is without oversight regulation," Apicella said. "We coexist right now. There is no need for additional regulatory oversight."
Mark Rauscher, coastal preservation manager of the Surfrider Foundation, said those who enjoy the sport "have a great working relationship with the Marines" and "we don't see this listing as impacting them whatsoever."
After the meeting, the Marines issued a statement that said, in part:
"Since 1942, the Marine Corps has used the waters and beach areas within the boundaries of the proposed Trestles Historic District for military exercises and training.

Spencer 70 Enclosed BridgeBy Capt. Bill Pike
Super Star
Spencer Yachts and Volvo Penta build a custom battlewagon that does it all.
I love stuff that's new and different. And from the hints I'd gotten from the guys who had designed and built her, the triple-IPS Spencer 70 Enclosed Bridge was going to be unlike any custom sportfisherman I'd ever sea-trialed. Not only did she showcase the very first high-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS III propulsion plants to appear onboard a recreational vessel, she also sported a host of other new technologies (see "Proud New Owner," this story) that were both advanced and unique. Indeed, as I neared the big battlewagon's teak transom, emblazoned with a giant marlin and the catchy moniker PentaGone, I spotted the antenna for Volvo's new Dynamic Positioning system up on the roof of the bridge enclosure. With any luck I figured I'd have a chance to check the system out during the day ahead.
Ed Szilagyi, general manager of Volvo's Boat Engine Integration Center, the engineering facility that had labored so long and hard with Spencer Yachts to launch this boat, welcomed me with an uneasy look. "We've got a problem, Bill," he said. He explained that while departing a slip the boat had occupied during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the 70 had touched bottom, damaging her propsets. "And scheduling issues make it impossible to wait for replacements," he added. "We've gotta test today."
I empathized, of course, having run aground a few times myself. And I agreed to proceed with the sea trial as well, based on Szilagyi's assurances that the only major performance parameter to be affected was top speed. "What we're seeing is a two-knot drop at WOT. That's all," he promised.
His statement turned out to be spot-on. When we later zoomed up and down a Palm Beach stretch of the ICW, I recorded an average top hop of 36.3 knots, or 41.8 mph, exactly two knots under the 38.3-knot average top speed Szilagyi showed me on Volvo's own sea trial report. Moreover, the fuel burn I recorded at WOT was 2.1 gallons less than the amount shown on the report and the top-end rpm was considerably below spec as well. These last two details, in league with the drive-train vibration I felt and heard throughout the engines' rpm register, served to convince me totally—the damaged IPS Q6 propsets were indeed robbing my test vessel of WOT speed.
A second major-league parameter soon announced itself with unequivocal excellence, however. Whether at low rpm or high, the 70's slipperiness was a real eye-popper. More to the point, even at top speed she turned in an operating efficiency of .32 mpg, a figure that exceeds the efficiency of a comparable conventionally inboard-powered 70-footer we recently tested by almost 30 percent. And although such economy is undoubtedly due to the characteristic efficiency of pod propulsion in general, high-tech construction is also involved.
The 70 is super-light. In fact her full-load displacement is just 98,000 pounds (about 12 tons lighter than that inboard-powered 70-footer), thanks mostly to longitudinally framed major components (hull, deck, and superstructure) that all are laminated with epoxy and cored with Corecell; varnished teak furnishings (doors, cabinets, tables, etc.) that are cored with Tri-Cell; and engines and fuel tanks that are significantly reduced in size thanks to the increased efficiency of IPS.
Driving the 70 in the open Atlantic in four-to-six-footers felt like playing in a slick-calm lake with a gigantic $5.7 million toy. Thanks to her electric steering system, I
S-curved the big beauty up-sea with thumb and forefinger alone, zestfully bopping back and forth across the axis of the waves. While going down-sea and then side-sea, the boat almost steered herself. And doing a simulated fish-chasing backdown demonstrated the lithe responsiveness of Volvo's Sportfish Mode with a vengeance.
As I zoomed inbound through Lake Worth Inlet en route back to our marina, the combination of the 70's lovely nose-up balance (running attitudes above 1250 rpm held steady at 4.5 degrees), her wheelhouse's lofty wraparound visibility, and the navigational ease that four large Nauticomp flat-screens (with cartographic, FLIR, radar, ISIS, Octoplex, camera, and other capabilities), sent a shot of fast, freedom-lovin' fun spiraling up my spine.
Lake Worth's Parker Avenue Bridge shortly put to rest the issue I'd wondered about before I had come aboard: Volvo's Dynamic Positioning System. Due to a glitch in the bridge, we were constrained to wait almost an hour for an opening. While a more conventional vessel might have required loads of throttle-jockeying and cartography-watching to hold station during such a long period, the DP system (with two GPS receivers that work in conjunction to maintain both station and heading) kept us electronically spotted with near-silent, seemingly unmoving precision, despite a significant current.
"I better take the helm now, Bill," said Szilagyi with a grin, pointing at a shoal guarding the marina's entrance. "It's shallow up there, and I'd rather take the responsibility."
He soon had the Spencer 70 docked in a cramped and oddly situated slip without any trouble at all, thanks to his position at one of the five strategically positioned IPS joystick docking stations onboard.
"Speed, wicked economy, back-down agility, and great handling," I synopsized shortly after, "I gotta tell ya, Ed—we're talkin' a true super star here!"

Proud New Owner Clint Moore
Volvo Penta Of The Americas
Clint Moore, president and CEO of Volvo Penta of the Americas, is not only proud of his new vessel's powerplant but also of several other features. "I wanted a unique platform for our latest version of IPS—a yacht disguised as a fishboat," he told me.
To see what he means, even a quick tour of the 70's four-stateroom-five-head interior will suffice. Topside, the wheelhouse is self-sufficient for safety's sake, with a dedicated Mastervolt battery bank and charger for electronics. On the main deck, the layout offers a galley/dinette that's socially synched with the saloon, thanks to input from Volvo consultant Mike Meyer. On the lower deck, optional hull windows (with insulated glass that nixes heat transfer and boosts air-conditioning efficiency), a separate room for rods and reels, and top-shelf Grohe plumbing fixtures create an aura of luxury. And on deck, a truly cool feature—an anchoring system at the bow that hides behind a set of automatically folding doors. —B.P.
