Re: Why are there so many Hunter haters?
Gee, guess my 2001 Hunter must be super special as I never have had any problems with any part of the boat that Hunter built. My problems are always with those name brand accessories installed on the boat, and even those have been less problematic than my last boat.
Re: Why are there so many Hunter haters?
I'll chime in with $0.02
This year, I have been working at a SailTime/sailing school/charter outfit, and many of the boats are newer Hunters, ranging in model year from 2004-2013, and in length from 33-41 feet. There are several Catalinas in the fleet as well.
My limited experience is that there seem to always be problems with the Hunters; the electric heads don't work, the in mast furler jammed, something happened with the engine, and it won't start... Typical charter stuff, but there seems to be more of it with the Hunters.
Looking at the build quality, I am disappointed with the amount of veneered MDF instead of Marine-Ply on the Hunters. The 2013 boat had bilge pump issues that required me to muck about in the bilge. I couldn't believe the amount of sawdust that I assume was left in the bilge by the manufacturer prior to delivery. Guess why the bilge pump burnt out?
There is also a mid-2000s Hunter 41 that, prior to joining the fleet, had suffered a moderate grounding with the PO, resulting in THE GRID SEPARATION that Paulo had written about in his earlier posts. (That's one more for your count...) I understand that the school owner picked the boat up for cheap, but has invested a lot of the technicians time and money, essentially rebuilding the boat from the grid system up. Each step has been inspected, and signed off on by a surveyor, and I believe that this particular boat is in better condition than when it left the factory.
In contrast, I feel that the construction and sail handling of the Catilinas, is better - IMHO. The Catalinas also seem to have more demand for charter than the Hunters.
Personally, I much prefer the straight forward mainsail handling of my '87 O'day 35, to the Selden in-mast roller furler, and (obscured) arch mounted traveler on the Hunters.

They both hold 200 gallons of water as well. The newer Hunter Passage models hold only 75 gallons of fuel and offer only as an option the larger fuel tanks. I have yet to find one outfitted with the larger tank. This tankage really helps in long passages and was well used during the Caribe 1500 rally from Hampton Va to Nanny Cay, Tortola. Also this years caribe 1500 had a Hunter Passage 420 which arrived in the middle of the fleet standings. Many boats had breakdowns, even the snob appeal boats ie Oyster, Tayana. Island Packet, but nooooooooo not the Hunter!!! I have had mine in 60 knot gale winds and she was rock solid. Yes she creaked and squeaked but so does most every boat in 25 foot seas. We sailed her with only a small piece of furled jib and the strain on the furling line was incredible. We lost part of our SSB antenna and the Magma grill cover. We saw 12 knots in a hull designed for 8 maximum. We were in a broad reach thus allowing the foresail to give us the stability that was needed. Both the rig and the hull were rock solid..........one cannot go wrong using this as both a live aboard and a bluewater sailor. Any further questions PM me.

Regarding being more or less offshore capable than European boats you would need to compare boat for boat. Certainly that are some European production boats more offshore capable than the Hunter, others will be similar.

Re: Why are there so many Hunter haters?
i really don't understand why everything turns into a fight on this site however, like i dont think hunters are bad boats its just that i don't like them i don't understand why people feel the need to take that as a personal attack. I respect that people don't like my boat and i mean i don't think my boat is the best boat its just the best i can afford, which to be fair pretty much excludes all newer boats because i have a small budget. i don't jump on bandwagons either i recognize a lot of people here like cal's but the only cal i have been on was a 46 and it was an awful boat so i don't particularly like cal's because o that either. bad impressions tend to stick. It doesn't mean your boat is bad or less good I was simply trying to share my personal opinion i am sorry that some people on the site took that as me attacking hunter i certainly am not just stating my opinion in what i perceived to be a non accusatory non threatening manner.

As for why the safety placards, stove shielding, and vhf specs are different here...I have no idea. But that difference in how they're equipped doesn't mean the US Hunters are "built differently" or any less capable offshore than the European boats (at least the way I read it). That was my point.

Re: Why are there so many Hunter haters?
oh and to add to that i do not hate hunter, never said i did, just don't feel as comfortable and confident in them in storm conditions than i do in other brands boats wether thats because of a legitamite concern or not, i do not know because I am not a yacht designer, i have an understanding of fundamental physical science concepts but not the more minute things that some of the rest of you know about, my observations aren't meant to be scientific but just my personal experience. Also i would consider a cherubini hunter and i actually looked at a 33 when i bought my boat.

Re: Why are there so many Hunter haters?
to be fair the hunter 380 i sailed was poorly maintained and an ex charter boat but i still believe theres a lot of things that the eu standards don't address because for the most part they test wether the boat is safe to take across not whether the voyage will be pleasant, beamy boats with open interiors are a lot more tricky to move around in in bad weather, although that could be because i am used to my own fairly narrow boat,I do have to say the electrical and plumbing installations n production boats including hunters are a lot better than a lot of good brands older boats. high freeboard and the b&r rigs are two other things i dont like about hunters,
although alot of modern boats have high freeboard ive noticed that hunters for the most part have considerably more freeboard than alot of catalinas that could be untrue, its just something i have noticed from seeing them on the dock, we dont have many hunters in the marina my boat was at but when i sailed in toronto there were quite a few, i just think that the fit and finish and the construction of hunters while it may be good enough to make them safe for one or two ocean passages wouldn't hold up for extended offshore use like a najad would. My opinion is really formed off that one experience i had, i put more stock in what i have personally experienced than in what the literature or the data or posters say about a boat, I don't think that a hunter would fall apart going across an ocean but i think a hunter under 35 or 40 feet probably would after extended offshore use, just things like cabinetry and bulkheads not being tabbed is kind of worrying but maybe what i experienced was a fluke.
i do know a guy who made it across lake huron in a hunter 22 in 7 or 8 foot waves with the mast down so maybe your right. I don't think my boat without the modifications i have done would withstand multiple ocean passages either, but there are boats that would and i have heard really good things about the passage series of hunters, again this is only really based on the one negative experience i had with the 380 which i believe was designed before glen henderson it was introduced in 1999 according to sailboat data. that being said the 290 i sailed seemed pretty decent but i never experienced it in bad weather so i assume being of the same vintage it would have similar issues that the 380 had, the 39 i sailed however was actually pretty nice with the exception of the b&r rig which i dislike, it had a nice cockpit, and a well organized galley, I'm just biased towards c&c's rustlers hallberg rassys najads and a few other brands. hunters are just not a boat i like, i dont like the beneteau oceanis series either, i love beneteaus first series though, just personal preference, feeling and one bad experience really.
We all have preferences and jeff h knows alot more than i do about yacht design all i know is my gut feeling and in some way gut feeling is actually an important measure because if you feel comfortable on a boat your more likely to be a good sailor because you feel more confident, and in the end 75 percent of everything is the person not the boat, which is why i said that for my purposes hunters dont fit the bill but other people may feel more comfortable on a hunter than a hallberg rassy. i don't own a boat from any of the brands i mentioned btw but those are the brands i'm saving up for because those are the boats i feel comfortable in for now i sail the boat that i have now which is the most comfortable boat in my price range.

The Arkansas Arts Center, the state's premiere center for visual and performing arts, presents the 55th Annual Delta Exhibition, on view Jan. 18 - March 10 in the Winthrop Rockefeller Gallery.
As one of the most anticipated Arkansas Arts Center exhibitions of the year, the 55th Annual Delta Exhibition provides a unique snapshot of the Delta region by showcasing innovative and provocative two- and three-dimensional works in all media. With almost 800 entries from artists with ties to Arkansas and surrounding states, the exhibition represents the dynamic vision of the artists of the Mississippi Delta region and offers visitors a glimpse into the contemporary art scene.
"We are pleased to welcome back this important annual exhibition that celebrates the work of Arkansas artists as well as artists from our neighboring states," said Arkansas Arts Center executive director Todd Herman. "The Delta exhibit allows us to provide a unique opportunity for Arkansas Arts Center visitors to understand fully the tremendous talent that is conveyed through these works and experience a sense of regional pride."
Originally presented in 1958 as the Delta Exhibition of Painting and Sculpture, this juried exhibition reflects the region's strong traditions of craftsmanship and observation, combined with innovative use of materials and an experimental approach to subject matter.

Wow...... I really enjoyed it! http://www.seobrizz.com
Man ain't it mean, strangest
Man ain't it mean, strangest things you ever seen Oh, look at how they swing, would you look at how they swing? Embedded they go, no i live down low am gone by sundown, they dodging 5-0 is this how the hook goes, ive been listening for a while and this is what i made up of the hook on strange fruitation.
Tampa Bay rapper... The All City Chess team, they about to prove, when they step in the booth, they make the right moves, you got a low IQ if you not feeling this song, your the type of dude to get killed by a pawn, or jumped by a rook-e, look b, I'm like the price on the head of a bookie, I'm the wrong that makes things right, I'm the dark soul that you can't see at knight, I'm tip-toeing into the queens home, and after we bone, I'm overthrowing the king's throne, but that's what happens when you disrespect faith, life is just a chess game until its checkmate.
Toronto rapper.. All City Chess, yes, the undergrounds the best, Got the queen on a tee that's wrapped around my chest, And yeah music I am making, but the fame will not be taken, And my soul rejects everything that can be labelled mainstream, And they will not bombard me, As long as god guards me, And i be shooting bullet after bullet like a starmie, I guess, nothing less than a Spirit Bomb can harm me, the way I'm speeding hard, please hold onto rooves and ledges, And I'm muslim, so no hogs unless they're blue and in the hedges, We went from backstreet boyz 2 Men with Jagged edges, not my fault they follow everything I say just like a reverend, Can't you see that I am beaming, I'll be leaving any second, Send me up to heaven where the rivers flow with honey, And every girl is stunning, and every day is sunny, And it will never rain because there are no clouds above me, no crooked cops, the dance moves the only man that's running, uh.
While the world is listening to soulja boy...its sad really...Lupe!!!!! Performance in South Africa perhaps???
it is refreshing to see young artist who still have passion for what they do and who they do it for Big up lupe!!
Lupe is the most talented underrated, overlooked artist out. I saw him at house of blues in las vegas where i live. I have seen a lot of rappers out here and he was by far the best show. He truly cares about his fans and speaks a good message. Big fan! keep it up. LASERS
Once again, Lupe proves that his lyricism is incontestable. I'm beaming is just another great track to be added to his collection. Big ups to Lupe for the Trilly and Truly collection as well... I like the fact that he actually based the clothing line off of his beliefs. Not many people bring significant ideals to clothing.
i know he dont get as much attention as he deserve but lupe will always be one of the greatest rappers to have been around. L.A.S.E.R.S. forever!!!
this song is siiiick!! i mean really ... lupe is a true lyricist!!! cannot WAIIIT for this new album!! saw lupe at the Greek with Erykah Badu ... and he rocked it
yo lupe is like one of the all around greatest rappers iv seen in a while man, his rhymes are mind blowing, but he also teaches u value he shit aint sending bad message and he got killer clothing line that have manning behide it. who is fuckin with lupe. fnf up
Man That B.M.F (Building Minds Faster) Is One Of The Dopest Songs I Have Heard In A Minute. Props From A Truly Humbled Fan.
I makes groove man. This song is good to dance with your girl. Its a got a mellow beat that will make you want you girl so badly. Together with the groovy rapping. Its awesome guys.
He's Lupe.... ... thats all there really is to say lol..... my Favorite artist of all time literally... and its not just his verball skills that makes me admire him its his whole style in General... I see that as a way to carry myself.. I call That Success..
Lupe Fiasco is the fuckin best, i'm from fuckin New York n im feelin this shit.every thing he do ,you already knw he gonna kill it

I really do need help on this please.......
The Leben site specifies 6L6 and EL34 valves as being suitable for the CS600.
Below is extracted part of a review of the Leben CS600
"For the tube-rollers, there are cathode resistor and plate switches which can be toggled in various combinations to allow for a wide array of driver tubes. You can use most of the 6L6 and EL34/6CA7 families of tubes. If you are fine with keeping the top cover off, you can tube-roll with even more variety of tubes, such as KT-88s, 350Bs, etc. (should a wad of cash fall from the sky and land on my head, I would like to try Western Electric 350Bs in Leben CS-600"
Clearly this suggests KT66, 88 and etc ! Could anybody please clarify/confirm that it would be cool and the gang to use these as alternatives.
I've been a bit high maintenance of late, clearly in need of attention . I'll back off for a bit after this !
Cheers all.
And this is a genuine plea for help, not a backhanded way of saying "I've just bought a Leben CS600", which I have . It's the little things.....

File Explorer (previously called Windows Explorer) helps you work with files and folders on your OneDrive, PC, and network.
Open File Explorer by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering File Explorer in the search box, and then tapping or clicking File Explorer.
The Computer location is now called "This PC," and you can still use the Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos folders to save your files. You just browse to these folders differently in File Explorer. To browse the locations on your PC, including the folders that used to appear under "Libraries," expand This PC in the left pane.
Here's a typical window with its parts:
1. Left pane
Use the left pane to get to all kinds of locations: your OneDrive, folders on your PC, devices and drives connected to your PC, and other PCs on your network. Tap or click a location to view its contents in the file list, or tap or click an arrow to expand a location in the left pane.
2. Back, Forward, and Up buttons
Use the Back button to go back to the last location or search results you were viewing, and the Forward button to return to the next location or search results.
Use the Up button to open the location where the folder you're viewing is saved.
3. Ribbon
Use the ribbon for common tasks, such as copying and moving, creating new folders, emailing and zipping items, and changing the view. The tabs change to show extra tasks that apply to the selected item. For example, if you select This PC in the left pane, the ribbon shows different tabs than it would if you select your Pictures folder. If you don't see the ribbon, tap or click the Expand the Ribbon button in the upper right or press Ctrl+F1.
4. Address bar
Use the address bar to enter or select a location. Tap or click a part of the path to go to that level, or tap or click at the end of the path to select the path for copying.
5. File list
This is where the contents of the current folder are displayed. It's also where your search results appear when you enter a search term in the search box.
6. Column headings
In Details view, you can use the column headings to change how the files in the file list are organized. For example, you can tap or click the Date modified heading to sort by date (with the files you worked on most recently at the top). If you tap or click the column heading again, the files are sorted with the oldest ones at the top. Press and hold or right-click a column heading to select other columns to add. To learn how to switch to Details view, see the next section, "Change the view."
7. Search box
Enter a word or phrase in the search box to look for an item in the current folder. The search begins as soon as you begin typing—so if you enter "B," for example, all the files with names starting with the letter B will appear in the file list.
8. Status bar
Use the status bar to quickly see the total number of items in a location, or the number of selected items and their total size.
9. Details/Preview pane
Use the details pane to see the most common properties associated with the selected file. File properties provide more detailed info about a file, such as the author, the date you last changed the file, and any descriptive tags you might have added to the file. If you don't see the details pane, tap or click the View tab, and then tap or click Details pane.
Use the preview pane to see the contents of a file, such as an Office document, without opening it in an app. If you don't see the preview pane, tap or click the View tab, and then tap or click Preview pane.
When you open a folder, you can change how the files look in the window. For example, you might prefer larger (or smaller) icons or a view that lets you see different kinds of info about each file. To make these kinds of changes, use the View tab.
File Explorer isn't designed to let you manually arrange files within a folder. For advanced procedures on how to do this in some views and locations, search
the Microsoft Community.
Depending on how many files you have and how they're organized, it might be a lot of work to always browse to each particular file you need. To save time and effort, use the search box to search for files.
The search box is located at the top of every window. To search for a file, open a folder as a starting point for your search, tap or click the search box, and start entering your search term. The search box filters the current view based on the text that you enter. Files are displayed as search results if your search term matches the file's name, tags or other properties, or even the text inside a document. For more info about searching in File Explorer, see Search for files in File Explorer.
You can create folders to help organize your files. You can even create folders within folders (sometimes called subfolders).
Tap or click the Home tab, and then tap or click New folder.
You can often print files directly from File Explorer, but it's best to open the file you want to print in an app and use the app's command for printing. This way, you can check and change print options if you need to. If you can't find the print command in the app you're using, try pressing Ctrl+P.
The most common way to create new files is by using an app. For example, you can create a letter in a word-processing app or a movie file in a video-editing app.
By default, most apps save files in common folders like Pictures and Music, which makes it easier to find the files again next time.
When you no longer need a file, you can remove it from your PC to save space and to keep your PC from getting cluttered with files you don't need. To delete a file, find the file and then select it. Tap or click the Home tab, and then tap or click Delete.
When you delete a file, it gets moved to the Recycle Bin, where it's stored temporarily. Think of the Recycle Bin as a safety net that allows you to recover files or folders that you might have accidentally deleted. To open the Recycle Bin in File Explorer, enter Recycle Bin in the address bar. Occasionally, you should empty the Recycle Bin to reclaim all of the storage space being used by files you don't need anymore. To empty the Recycle Bin, right-click or press and hold it, and then tap or click Empty Recycle Bin.
To open a file, double-tap or double-click it. The file will usually open in the app that you used to create or edit it. For example, a text file will open in your word-processing app. If you want to open a file in a different app than the one you usually use, select the file, tap or click the Home tab, tap or click the arrow next to Open, and then choose the app you want to use.
If you have a CD or DVD burner on your PC, you can burn discs using Windows Media Player. For more info, see Burn a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player. Note that Windows Media Player isn't included in Windows RT 8.1.
To rename a file or folder, select it in the file list, tap or click the Home tab, and then tap or click Rename.
For info about copying and moving files and folders, see Copy or move files and folders.
For info about zipping and unzipping files, see Zip and unzip files.

Mayor Bill de Blasio just tapped this former head of Catholic Charities Neighborhood Services in Brooklyn and Queens to lead New York City's Department of Aging.
Ms. Corrado kicked off her career with Catholic Charities as an older adult program director before working her way up to chief operating officer.
As a 22-year member of the Catholic Charities community, she brings to her new position our legacy of rebuilding lives, always with compassion and dignity.
Ms. Corrado said her focus would be making the city a better place for the aging where almost a quarter of senior citizens live at or below the poverty line – even with social security benefits.
"This is unacceptable," she said. "Our seniors deserve not only respect, but the care and support of our city agencies."

Commercial Drones Are Legal, Federal Court Says
A federal administrative court judge has determined that drones–aka unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs–can be used for commercial purposes because the Federal Aviation Administration has no regulations on the books that prohibit such uses.
Vice.com reported that the judge made the ruling last week in a case involving a photographer who had appealed a $10,000 fine for using a drone to shoot a video commercial, allegedly in violation of FAA rules.
The FAA immediately appealed, explaining in a statement that it "is concerned that this decision could impact the safe operation of the national airspace system and the safety of people and property on the ground."
The FAA had fined photographer Raphael Pirker for unauthorized commercial use of a drone in 2011, after Pirker had used a remotely-controlled aircraft to produce a video commercial for the University of Virginia. Pirker had piloted the aircraft in the vicinity of the university, located in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Pirker, owner of UAV video production company Team Black Sheep, won his appeal of the fine on the grounds that a drone is in the same class of aircraft as model airplanes, which the FAA has never regulated. (The FAA has asked model airplane operators to fly the planes under 400 feet, and to stay away from airports, but those rules are strictly voluntary.)
The administrative court ruling means that photographers can use drones for commercial purposes, at least for now. But with the FAA opposed to unregulated use of drone aircraft in the US, it's a safe bet that the agency will try to impose new administrative rules–or seek legislation–to restrict the use of drones in the near future.

Rea, O'Connell Help Men's Swim/Dive Team Past Columbia On Senior Night
In their final home performance at DeNunzio Pool, seniors Mark O'Connell and Ian Rea helped lead the five-time defending Ivy League champion Princeton men's swimming and diving team to a 186-94 home win over Columbia in the Tigers' regular season finale.
Rea was impressive in winning a pair of events. He took the 50 free in 20.44, topping teammate Harrison Wagner by .31 of a second, and he won the 100 fly in 48.61. Teammate Oliver Bennett finished second in the 100 fly in 49.16.
While Rea won two swimming events, O'Connell won the 1-meter diving competition with 322.72 points. He nearly pulled off the double, scoring 347.92 points off the 3-meter board, but Columbia's Micah Rembrandt took the win by less than a single point.
While those senior wins may have been the most memorable, it was a deep team effort for Princeton that helped the Tigers win their sixth meet of the season. The effort started in the 200 medley relay, as the quartet of Michael Strand, Teo D'Alessandro, Brooks Powell and Wagner took the win in 1:29.50.
Freshman Lance Rutkin (9:26.58) and sophomore Zach Ridout (9:26.95) were 1-2 in a thrilling 1000 finale, while freshman Julian Mackrel won the 200 free in 1:38.16. Sophomore En-Wei Hu-Van Wright won the 100 back in 49.66, edging classmate Brooks Powell (50.08). Another sophomore duo posted a thriller in the 100 breast, as Byron Sanborn (57.00) edged D'Alessandro (57.30).
Junior Caleb Tuten took fourth in the 200 fly in 1:51.14, but Mackrel came back with a win in the 100 free in 44.83. Sophomore Andrew Helber won the 200 back in 1:49.91, and Tuten bounced back to edge senior Eric Materniak in the 200 breast; Tuten won in 2:02.30, while Materniak was second in 2:04.00.
Freshman Jeffrey Williamson won the 500 in 4:35.02, and D'Alessandro took the 200 IM in 1:49.63. Princeton rounded out the night with a win in the 200 free relay, as the quartet of Hu-Van Wright, Connor Maher, Jeremy Wong and Brooks Powell posted a win in 1:22.31.
Princeton is now off for three weeks, and will return to Blodgett Pool, site of the thrilling 2011 5.5-point Ivy Championship victory over Harvard, for the 2014 Ivy League Championships.

Full SubmissionDear UNCSD Secretariat, I am writing in support of three billion young people who are worried about their ? and their planet's ? future. Joblessness brought on by over-exploitation of our Earth's resources and inadequate democratic decision-making is a clear indication that the status quo is unsustainable. I am calling on governments to respond to this emergency in full measure when world leaders meet next year in Rio de Janeiro to discuss the fate of the planet. Exploitation of scarce ecological resources has led to corruption, global inequity and a damaging pattern of "brown" investments, and it cannot be the basis for ensuring secure employment for the next generation. Meanwhile, governments and consumers consistently fail to recognize that our planet has boundaries, exacerbating them through perverse subsidies and an unsustainable food system that cannot meet our growing needs. These trends must change. First, we need all world leaders to recognize the urgency of the situation by attending the Earth Summit and educating their publics about the dangers of not acting. The United Nations should urge Presidents and Prime Ministers from every nation to commit resources and attention as early as possible in preparation for their participation at the Earth Summit. Second, when world leaders come to Rio, they must deliver more than another agenda with lofty goals for a distant environmentally-responsible future. Young people from 118 countries recently called out the challenges with the hundreds of existing commitments, pledges, treaties and action plans. In their "Bandung Declaration", they highlighted "weak implementation, corruption and the lack of transparency and accountability" as key failures of the international system. The Earth Summit, these young people demanded, should generate real actions on the ground from national and local governments, corporations, communities, and civil society organizations. I agree, and the United Nations should create a global registry of sustainability actions to track our progress and ensure we are holding everyone accountable. Third, governments need to enable young people to take the lead in creating a green economy. Youth around the world are increasingly disenchanted by high Unemployment, corruption, massive subsidies to established industries, and lack of corporate responsibility. To overcome this unlevel playing field, governments need to make investments in education and training and in creating employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for young people. We cannot wait another generation for sustainability: the time for talk is over.

Farmer's Wife—Week 7
Checkerboard: I'm loving how this one turned out with the darker green background. I had originally planned to use the light green gingham, but realized there wasn't enough contrast with some of the prints and changed my plan.
Calico Puzzle
Buzzard's Roost: I'm not a huge fan of this block in general, but I guess it's okay in these fabrics.
Seventeen done now! I'm hoping to do another extra one next week, which means I can miss a week in August and still be on track.

I love the blocks. Thanks to you, I have bought the book and started on the QAL. I have a lot of catch up to do. Right now, I have 5 blocks done, but all the templates from 1-50 printed, glued onto template plastic and cut out. Tonight, I have the dining room table again, so I will be able to cut some of the fabric out.
Thank you for being such an inspiration!!!!

Yet again for BB7's!!
I've tried Avid elixirs and Usagis. I like the BB7s with speed dial levers better than my hydraulics.
I can work on them myself without making a greasy mess with oil all over the place. I can adjust them on the trail with a multi-tool... try that with hydraulics.
They're easy to setup. Screw the pads in to the rotor, tighten the post mounts. set the cable screw, dial the pads back. Viola!
They're genius in design because of their simplicity.

For one thing, rallies are all about hope, and Mondays are, well, not. Another thing, nothing - not even the environment - looks its best on winter Mondays, so inspiration is lacking at best.
But today at 9 a.m. environmentalist Tim De Christopher's trial began in Salt Lake City, so it was heartening to see 300-400 people marching from Pioneer Park to the Federal Building, singin and chanting in the cold in his support.
DeChristopher, remember, is the young man who sabotaged the oil and gas lease auction by bidding on more than a dozen drilling parcels near Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. He won the auction, which itself was later declared illegal, but had no money to pay the $1.8 million tab. And no intention of paying - his intention was to thwart global climate crisis, save national park lands, and put a spotlight on environmental issues.
It was an act of pure civil disobedience, and the legal arguments are tangled as they always are. Check out the Tribune for details.But the spotlight part worked.
Artist-naturalist Carel Brest Van Kempen carried a banner.
Preparations for the march went on all weekend - banner-making, speech-scheduling, song-planning. Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul and Mary fame) flew in with his daughter to lend a supporting voice. Actress Daryl Hannah came to march. Utah author Terry Tempest Williams joined in. And tons of Unitarians - DeChristopher has received a lot of support from minister Tom Goldsmith's congregation - walked and sang.
Mothers with babies in backpacks, businessmen in suits, retirees and cheerleaders all participated, singing protest songs from generations ago: "We Shall Overcome;" "This Land is Your Land;" "Blowin' in the Wind."
But local activist and antiquarian bookstore owner Ken Sanders who marched with the crowd had the best suggestion for appropriate music."We should be singing 'Walk Like An Egyptian.'"

Exterior equipment pockets are accessible while wearing a backpack and are purpose-built to secure your radio and extend your cell phone's battery life while protecting it from moisture. The stretch powder skirt features clip-in integration to seal out wind, the cold, and moisture, whether you are skiing in whiteout conditions or you wipe out on the slopes.

GORE-TEX® Performance Shell: Specifically engineered to form an impenetrable barrier against wind and water while maintaining breathability, this waterproof material uses a two-layer construction for a lighter, softer feel – and in a three-layer construction for a more heavy-duty alternative.


text: May 29, 2013 10:23 King of jazz Dr. Lonnie Smith tours New Orleans King of jazz Dr. Lonnie Smith tours New Orleans Dr. Lonnie Smith Dr. Lonnie Smith Dr. Lonnie Smith Shruti Chowdhary| Special to theadvocate.com May 1, 2013; 3:51 p.m. Comments Musician Dr. Lonnie Smith didn't come from a wealthy background, but there was no shortage of music in his childhood. He grew up in Buffalo, N.Y., in a family with a passion for singing gospel and classical music. It's wasn't until Smith was 9 years old that his curiosity led him to play his first instrument. "I went to visit my aunt, and she had a piano," Smith said. "I was in the third grade, I was a little kid. Got up on the stool and you know your feet don't touch the floor. The first song I played, it was a classic called 'Crying in the Chapel.' I still remember the keys and everything. My mother and aunt came running out. They didn't know who was playing the piano. It was me. They could not believe it." Smith couldn't afford a keyboard of his own then, so he stuck to singing. He continued to captivate his family and friends with his voice until high school where he found another instrument. "I picked up my friend's trumpet in class and played it," Smith said. "He took me down to the band room and pushed me in. The band master said, 'What can I do?' I said, 'I'd like to play an instrument.' My classmates were peeping through the window. All the saxophones and trumpets were rented out, so he gave me a cornet. Next class, I went to band rehearsal and I played it. He said, 'Looks like we got a star right here!'" Smith continued to follow his first passion and became an organ maestro. He eventually linked up with the legendary jazz guitarist George Benson in the mid-'60s. The two played together in the George Benson Quartet with Jimmy Lovelace on drums and Ronnie Cuber on baritone saxophone. Benson went on to win 10 Grammy awards and received his own star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. Smith built his career on a vintage Hammond B3 organ. It's a scarce instrument to see outside of big churches, but it is an instrument that has become a staple for Smith in his performances. "It's an extension of me," he explained. "That instrument gives me all the elements in the world. From the thunderstorm, the rain, the ocean, the sun, the rainbows. It's an orchestra. Sometimes a pianist will come up, and I'll say, 'Have you ever played organ? Sit next to me right here.' They'll sit down and I'll play it. Then I'll tell them to touch it and say, 'What do you feel? Don't you feel that vibration that comes from the Leslie speaker?' The organ just speaks to you." Smith often collaborates with other musicians on his records and live performances. These artists come with their own styles, which add a deeper dimension to each song. "I can stick with my idea, or I can hear what they're playing, and we can make music together," Smith said. "They might play something which inspires me. That's the greatest thing about musicians. They listen to each other and respond." In his free time, Smith teaches young musicians from all around the world about jazz through the Jazz Foundation of America and Jazz Organ Fellowship. "I think [today's] musicians are very talented," Smith said. "The only thing is that they have to play life in their music. How did things go that day? Play that, instead of just simple notes." Smith added that while it's great to know music theory, in order to touch people a musician must play from his heart. Dr. Lonnie Smith is stopping by New Orleans between Jazz Fest weekends. He will perform at Jazz at the Sandbar on the campus of the University of New Orleans on May 1 and Snug Harbor on May 2. For more information on Dr. Lonnie Smith go to http://drlonniesmith.com/.

one of my friends parents spent 500 pounds on their wife for valentines. expensive hotel, expensive dinner, expensive jewellery OH AND OF COURSE A BIG ASS CARD SAYING A LOAD OF LOVE CRAP
The valentines dance was crap.

No surprise there.
I went because I felt like dancing. But no one was, anyways, all they did was giggle and flirt with their boyfriends or if they didn't have any, were trying to get one.
My school sucks so much fucking dick.
ok pretty much anyone who isnt me needs to stop pretending they hate their school
Your school isn't full of niggers, muslims, bosnians, and emo faggots. Or stupid fucking immature guys that hate you.
if you hated your school you wouldnt go to the dances and you wouldnt talk about it so much aside from simply saying "its fucking gay"
The only reason I like my school a little because some of my "friends" are there.

Wanted: Cool Single Climbing Buddy
You've had the same climbing partner for three seasons; learned to deal with their peculiarities, even grown to love their dog. It's a marriage made in crag heaven. Then one day they meet their next significant other- their new climbing partner. That's it. That's all it takes. It's a break-up and the best way to get over it is to move on with someone else. The downside of rock climbing is that it's like tennis. You need a partner to play. Fortunately, there's always some signature climbing festival that sprouts come spring. Climbing fests are like speed dating events where after a ding of a bell, you've sampled the lot and usually found yourself a new partner, (and a new water bottle, chalk bag and routes to climb). You've also had one hell of a great time. After all, you're hanging out with a few hundred of your peers, climbing all day and rocking out all night. Read More

2011 Ski Season Continues or Why We Ski In May
Here it is folks: Utah has received 701'' of snow YTD or 58 feet. Alta enjoyed a 200-inch base for closing weekend last weekend while Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort broke a 40-year mark and set a record for most snow received in a single season (690 inches and still counting). With these kinds of numbers, ski areas may be fighting for bragging rights as well as next season's pass sales. Read More

Miami residents are tops among 20 U.S. cities for lifting amenities from hotel rooms, according to a recent LivingSocial Travel Escapes survey.
A whopping 52 percent of Miamians surveyed admitted to having sticky fingers when staying in a hotel abroad compared with 39 percent of Americans overall, the survey revealed.
Just what are they walking away with?
Thirty-seven percent of Magic City residents said they pilfer towels; eight percent bath robes; seven percent sheets, and six percent the remote control.
Survey results revealed Miamians also take more vacation days – 21.4 days a year compared to the national average of 14.8 days. They also spend more time abroad – 7.4 days versus the national average of 3.7 days.
Turns out Miamians aren't nature freaks and are least likely among those surveyed to go camping, but they rank No. 2 for volunteering while on vacation.
Some other notable survey findings include:
Americans say they are the world's worst tourists
78 percent of Americans have visited at least one foreign country
61 percent have traveled to multiple countries
36 percent have traveled to four or more foreign destinations
The LivingSocial survey was conducted last month by Mandala Research among 4,000 Americans in the top 20 media markets, and 1,600 respondents in Canada, Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Manfrotto Launches New Camera Bag Lines
Manfrotto has just unveiled two new lines of camera bags, a Pro line and a 12-model Advanced line for more casual photographers who want to be able to carry both camera gear and personal items.
The Pro line features 14 different models in various sizes including: four holster-style bags, five shoulder bags, a trio of backpacks and two roller bags. During a pre-release presentation about the new Pro line, Manfrotto emphasized the sturdiness of the camera dividers offering extra protection internally as well as the Exo-Tough construction of the outer design of the bags.
The former, which Manfrotto calls its Core Protection System, provides more rigid interior dividers, while the latter is compressed layered foam front of the bag, for example. The outer shell is very stiff so Manfrotto used extra padding on the inside of the bag so the gear is further protected from the Exo-Tough structure—which comes in handy when someone accidentally steps on the bag (which has happened to me at Fashion Week).
Be sure to check out the camera bag roundup in the December issue of PDN for a closer look at one of the shoulder bags but, meanwhile, we can say from some hands-on time with the bags, that these are sturdily built and designed with pros in mind. Depending on the individual style of each new Manfrotto bag, you'll find an assortment of features such as tripod holders, comfortable straps, plenty of room for accessories and tablets/laptops, reinforced feet, rain covers and some nice little touches inside.
Prices start at about $65 for the smallest Holster bag and go up to $370 for the largest Roller. Check the Manfrotto website for more information.

Squash Battles Past Yale Again, Claims Third To Cap Ivy Championship Season
Princeton, whose one-year reign as national champion ended Sunday when top-seeded Trinity reclaimed the crown with a 6-3 victory over Harvard, showed the type of resolve Sunday that helped the Tigers win their second straight Ivy title. Despite trailing in three of the matches it ultimately won, Princeton raised its winning streak over Yale to three with the Sunday win.
Princeton led 2-1 after the opening shift, which began with a 3-0 victory for sophomore Tyler Osborne at the No. 3 position. Yale won 3-0 at the six spot, but freshman Michael LeBlanc overcame an early 1-0 deficit to sprint past Joseph Roberts at the ninth spot.
The second shift was one of the most exciting shifts of the season for Princeton, as each of the three matches went the distance. Yale took two of the three, including a 13-11 win for Charlie Wyatt over David Hoffman at the No. 8 spot. Sam Fenwick defeated Princeton co-captain Steve Harrington, who rallied out of a 2-0 deficit, 11-8 in the fifth to earn Yale its third win, but Tiger sophomore Samuel Kang dominated his final game 11-3 to defeat Hywel Robinson at No. 2.
With the match even at 3-3, Princeton swept the final shift to clinch third place. Senior Todd Harrity, one day after his impressive 3-1 victory over 2012 national champion Ali Farag, defeated Kenneth Chan in three games, while freshman Vivek Dinodia also defeated Eric Caine in three games at No. 7.
Junior Dylan Ward, who played a five-game marathon Saturday, came back Sunday and played five more before taking out Neil Martin 11-9 in the fifth to clinch the 6-3 win.
The national individual championships for both the men's and women's teams will be next weekend at Trinity. Check back with GoPrincetonTigers.com later this week for full previews.
Princeton 6, Yale 3
1) Todd Harrity (P) d. Kenneth Chan 8,3,8
2) Samuel Kang (P) d. Hywel Robinson (7),5,6,(8),3
3) Tyler Osborne (P) d. Richard Dodd 6,9,8
4) Dylan Ward (P) d. Neil Martin (9),8,6,(4),9

A+D Salon #4
On October 8th, Angeleno held our 4th A+D event of the series, where attendees arrived chauffeured by BMW to two houses designed by Richard Neutra for journalist Josef Kun in 1936. The houses boasted magnificent views of the city while incorporating the restored exquisite detail of Neutra's style. While being treated to cocktails and hors doeuvres, guests were able to immerse themselves in two works of sublime architecture and receive tours from the building's new homeowners.

I hope you are all basking in the good name of Our Lord Jesus Christ and not becoming servitors to idle, vain Gluttony.
I hope you are all basking in the good name of Our Lord Jesus Christ and not becoming servitors to idle, vain Gluttony.
excuse me but where is the bold in CHRISTmas!?
I heard a store clerk say "Happy holidays." So appalled
everyone should be celebrating christmas really. not as a christian holiday but as a general western cultural tradition.
The Jews I know meet I up and celebrate Festivus during Christmas
festive late december celebrations have always taken place, dont let savvy church marketing steal it from the rest of you
Yeah, me and my dad brewed homemade glogg for winter solstice this year. It was very potent.
Is that legal?
Brewed meaning cooked a bunch of already fermented alcohol with other food items
I almost committed suicide. i've been having a terrible year too. the only reason i couldn't was because I tough it when I'm sick.... and couldn't find a bottle of pills to swallow. The windows to my barracks don't open wide. there's nothing for me to hang off of. I lent out all my knives to friends to use for their Christmas meals. And there isn't any electrical sockets in our bathrooms.
so i pretty much drank myself to sleep afterwards. i was a mess and still am as i post this.
but now that i look back, i don't know what i was thinking. i've been through a shit ton of abuse. i wanted to live back then, why do i want to throw all that effort away.
i'm going to set an appointment with a psychologist later today.

Jesus Leo. Please get some help. You can't die yet, I just got a new 3DS, I need somebody to visit my new Animal Crossing pad.
Damn Leo, terrible to hear, not sure what to say other than get help ;[
i'm gonna get help. getting it off my chest kinda helped too. i'm gonna attempt to post everyday. winter is always the most depressing season for me.
i usually never celebrated thanksgiving and christmas, well, participated. i was usually left out of it. i've always seen other people. this year it felt even worse because i thought i was completely alone.
but my friends randomly invited me to their party and even got me a gift. i never got a gift on christmas where someone actually thought of what i might like. i usually got a present from a stranger, the standard basketball or an etch-a-sketch, if i got lucky that year. but i didn't need those growing up.
no one wanted to play basketball with the foster kid. and the etch-a-sketch was usually broken by other kids or my foster siblings...
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
If you're ever on leave in the states you should come out this way Leo. Well put ya up for a couple of nights give ya some good southern cookin and force ya to rp with us and play zombicide and kingdom death (when it finally ships that is)
Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."
i wont. but, if i did have a bottle, i don't think it would have turned out good. that's all i'm saying about that.
but today i've been playing pokemon. sucks that the pokébank is down. damn it japan!
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
I came here to post that I hoped everyone had a great Christmas...
I just hope you're doing better now Leo <3 Like Kirbx said, PD is always here for you

Managing Personal Fame and God
Does My Work Give Credit to God?
"Knowing someone" has taken on a new dimension. Facebook and the internet make it possible for a person to spread themselves in many directions. I have to confess that I get a thrill seeing all my stuff pop up when I Google "Ramona Taylor artist". But at the same time it bugs me when I meet someone who knows who I am and I am confident that I have never met them. I recently read an interview of Dakota Fanning she said often she would meet people who would say on introduction, "I know who you are." Dakota exhorted that she would still like the opportunity to introduce herself. I think the ability to put so much of ourselves out on the social network, makes it possible to relate to what Dakota is talking about. While those who know Dakota may only know her by her public profile, it can be the same for all of us. And in a sense it can feel like a double life. (A real life and a media life).
I have to ask myself if I live a double life. Am I using the gifts God has given me for personal gain or for Him? It is when I am in this dilemma that I wonder if I am even being used by God.
So I put myself in check. Of course I am a sinner, to say otherwise would be lying, and I am reminded each time I sit in an award reception hoping for a prize, that my heart (motives) are often impure. I am unstable when I am seeking recognition from the world and the desire to Glorify God. Not that fame is bad.. (more…)

Back Story: Sometime last week after I got off the train at Nostrand Ave. (Brooklyn) on the way to work I stopped to chat with one of Jehovah's Witnesses while waiting for a light. Right before I crossed the street and left the corner, I heard someone bark that he had a bike he was selling. I asked how much and he responded something unintelligible but as I was running a bit late for work I kept walking. He caught up and asked me if I was interested, I asked again and he said, "Well lets start at $30." After a brief haggling session I rode off on my brand new old bike for $21.
It's a nice bike. An old-school cruiser type deal. I'll show you guys later when I'm not lazy. The only thing wrong with it is a chain wrapped around the body that doesn't impede performance. (Explained away by him allegedly doing some work in a home and after looking at it in the basement, it was given to him by the landlord. Corroboration: he said he had to screw the back wheel on by hand and well, the back wheel was indeed screwed on by hand. Legit!)
I've tightened what needs to be and added a small bolt to the peice that keeps the back wheel aligned and rode it a few times already.
Now I'm about to really put it to the test. A small trek, 10 miles through Queens to Roosevelt Island. Google maps says it'll take me about 1.15 hours provided I don't get lost.
Wish me luck!
