A few days ago I posted something about feeds working in Mac but not in Windows. Well, it isn't solved or anything, but I'm over that; I have a bigger problem.
I am a member of a site which needs a valid RSS feed address, which I once had when I was using Blogger but disappeared when I switched to WordPress. So, my membership is threatened and if I don't show them a valid feed address in a week or so, my membership will be gone.
My problem is -probably- about encoding. When I use FeedValidator to check my RSS Feed, I get this;
• Your feed appears to be encoded as "UTF-8", but your server is reporting "ISO 8859-9"
• line 1, column 33: XML parsing error: <unknown>:1:33: XML declaration not well-formed
The thing is, I have to use ISO 8859-9 (or Windows-1254 or ISO Latin 5) because UTF-8 causes some serious problems in my blog. Weirdly enough, nothing like this happens to my friends whom which I don't know what kind of server software they use, but happens to me with both an Apache installation my hosting company offers and an Abyss installation at home...
http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fiyiinsan.net%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-rss2.php#l1 is the feed validator address.
And for more information, iyiinsan.net/wordpress/feed/ doesn't "exist".
It looks like I need a *lot* of help...
Thanks in advance to whom all can answer...

Arcadia Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- Does the play suggest that, if Thomasina had not died so young, scientific knowledge would have developed differently? Why or why not?
- What might Hannah mean when she says, "it's wanting to know that makes us matter" (2.7)?
- What would happen to the play if Thomasina and Septimus were switched, if he was the genius who died an early death and she was the one left behind, obsessed with continuing his work?
- Why have the same tortoise in both eras? What about the same Gus/Augustus?
- If Arcadia were a movie and had actual locations other than just the one room, what difference, if any, would it make to the story and its meaning?
- There's plenty of conflict between Classicism and Romanticism in Arcadia. Does one side win at the end? If so, which one? Which characters are classicists and which are romantics? Do any shift sides over the course of the play?
- How would Arcadia be different if it were a novel instead of a play?

Lemon Ice Box Cake
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 30 mins
This recipe was given to me by a co-worker - and my family went wild for it! It is a cross between a lemon cake and lemon ice box pie - a true winner!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (18 1/4 ounce) Duncan Hines lemon supreme cake mix
- 1 1⁄3 cups water
- 1⁄3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 3⁄4 cup lemon juice
- 1 (8 ounce) whipped topping
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease and flour 2 (8 or 9 inch) round cake pans.
- Prepare cake by mixing together eggs, water, and oil with electric mixer.
- Place batter in pans and bake 28-30 minutes.
- Allow cake to cool 15 minutes then "flip" cakes out of the pans.
- Allow cake to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, blend together, the lemon juice and 2 cans of condensed milk until thick and smooth.
- Reserve 1/2 of this mixture (about 1 1/2 c) to be used later.
- Place the remaining mixture between the cake layer
- With the remaining mixture, combine it with the whipped topping- this is to be used as frosting.
- Place both the cake and the frosting in the refrigerator about 30 minutes, this make the frosting easier to work with.
- Frost cake with frosting and place back into frig - this cakes is even better if kept in the frig overnight.

Very good cake. I made it for a party and the guests loved it. Note: if you make it on a hot day, allow more than 1/2 hour of refrigeration time for the cake and frosting to get really cold. Then, after it is frosted, keep it refrigerated.
I made this for Thanksgiving dinner, because DH does't care for pumpin and hates sweet potatoes. This cake was loved by everybody, most agreeing that, while it looks like cake, it tastes like lemon merangue pie. Very easy to make. The hardest part was keeping everybody out of it until the next day, when it had rested in the fridge for a day. Easy to make, this is a wonderful make-ahead dessert. Thanks for the great post, Bichonlady! We will enjoy this often!

Chris Ingalls: An excellent collaborative effort that seems completely natural. Producer the Bug teams up with grime MC D Double E and it's a deft pairing. Everything clicks. The Bug's stuttering beats and blips are a perfect foil for D Double E's rapid-fire rhymes, creating a contemporary urgency. The arrangement is dense and stuffed with interesting sonic choices - there's something new to discover on each listen. [8/10]

decker.'s rock draws from blues, garage-rock revival, and psychedelic—all genres stemming from a dusty, down-home electricity. "The Holy Ghost" stomps in double time, driving 12-bar blues marrying frenetic guitar in an explosion of weariness. decker.'s harried twang holds down center stage, wildly gesticulating in a way that mirrors the live-wire guitar solo midway through. It's stressful in the most enticing way, driving full speed towards a wall and living off the thrill of being so close to the edge.
If you've ever complained about people tagging music which ends up being too straightforward for your taste "psychedelic rock", the Dan Ryan might be something you'd like. "Tomorrow Forever" is all whimsy and LSD-fueled glee, trance-like drums falling into line behind off-kilter synths and inseparable waves of guitar. There's more than a little Beatles influence, inspiration taken from Harrison's journeys in Asia and the sonic collages on the group's later albums, but that influence is used in novel ways. It's exceedingly trippy, not in the "man, this light show is so trippy, man" sense, but truly in the scatterbrained, wildly colorful acid sense. Things are all over the place, and that's just fine.
Andrew Keoghan's Every Orchid Offering is a mélange of tangential genres. There's a touch of baroque chamber pop a la Son Lux, a smattering of off-color indie pop of the Dirty Projectors' style, and snippets of the hyperprocessed muzak of vaporwave. It's blocky and pleasantly unwieldy, a definite boon in a style of alt-pop which prides itself on its obtuseness. Weird pop is always intriguing, since there's so many ways its weirdness can manifest — and the teetering disco of Every Orchid Offering is certainly a satisfying implementation.
I'm staring at my local gym leader's cp 1323 Exeggutor and struggling to understand the popularity of Pokémon Go. It's been a few weeks since the game came out and I just don't get. My day job is literally to get this kind of stuff, to understand what makes a trending game interesting to the millions of people who play it, but it's hard. As someone deeply embedded in the games industry, I've never felt more out of touch. Maybe I'm getting old.
Alright, well to be fair, I do understand the basic allure of Pokémon Go. Pokémon is a huge franchise with a lot of nostalgia attached to it. It's no surprise people familiar with Pikachu and the gang are checking out the app. I also see why the quirky ARG overlay of Pokémon sitting on your coffee table or something is funny in a gimmicky sort of way—hey, look, it's Koffing in a vape shop. Hell, I can even see why folks rally around the fictional teams of Valor, Mystic, and Instinct. We're all familiar with group mentality and the sorting hat.

DVB standards are currently being implemented in various countries, not only in Europe, but also around the world. In order to meet various consumers' demands, the DVB standards support interactive services. Among the interactive broadcasting services, DVB-RCT based on OFDM can be used for interactive broadcasting service in terrestrial broadcasting network. To improve the DVB-RCT system performance, a combining of MIMO signal processing with OFDM is very efficient solution. To detect the received MIMO signal with low complexity, an efficient detection technique with K-best scheme is proposed in this paper. The proposed technique can overcome the limitations of K-best scheme which are performance limitation and high complexity.

King Curtis, Percy Sledge…now we're talkin'!
The definitive alterna-babe of the '90s is having a birthday: Juliana Hatfield turns 49 today. We don't know how she feels about it, but if you're a member of Generation X, this information should make you feel very, very old.
35 years ago today, Stevie Nicks released her first-ever solo album, kicking off a career which has resulted in 10 top-40 singles and more than a few classic LPs.
Stevie Nicks's evolution from a member of Fleetwood Mac into a solo artist in her own right was one which came about organically: when you're part of a band that has three songwriters, it's hard to keep things fair and spread the wealth while still providing space for all of the material that was being written. As a result, Ms. Nicks took some time during the sessions for TUSK to record demos for a solo project, but that was in '78, and when TUSK was released in '79, she was decidedly preoccupied with touring behind that album.
Okay, okay, we know "Doing a 140" doesn't have even remotely the same ring as "Doing a 180," but what can we tell you? These particular reissues are on 140-gram vinyl rather than 180-gram vinyl, so we felt like it was better to be factual. It's just the right thing to do, you know? (Also, it's the legal thing to do, so there's that as well.)
Oh, and if you've looked at the words "Earth, Wind & Fire" and thought, "Ah, I've already got a best-of collection," then reconsider your position at least long enough to keep reading, because you might be surprised at what you'll learn.
47 years ago this summer, Neil Young joined forces with David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash, adding a letter to an already-familiar acronym and, for whatever tension it might've brought to the existing trio on occasion, resulted in some of the greatest music of the rock era.
As a result of his membership in Buffalo Springfield, Young and Stills were certainly intimately acquainted, and in a very real sense, it was Stills who was responsible for Young's introduction into the collaboration. Not just because of the fact that he already knew Young, but also because it was his work on Crosby, Stills, and Nash's debut album in the studio, most of which he did by himself, that left the band in need of some assistance to reproduce the material live.
If you're a big Air fan – and by the capitalization of the word, hopefully you'll realize that we mean the French musical duo consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel, as opposed to, say, the stuff you need to breathe – then you probably recall how we released TWENTYYEARS, their first-ever anthology, on June 10. If so, then you'll probably also recall that when we issued the set digitally, on 2 CDs, and on 2 LPs, we teased about how we had something very special coming out on July 22: a limited-edition, numbered Super Deluxe Edition of the set, one which would feature 2 CDs, 2 LPs, and a bonus CD featuring remixes that Air had done for other artists.
Remastering Supervised By Jimmy Page With Previously Unreleased Recordings
CD, Vinyl, And Digital Formats, Including Super Deluxe Boxed Set, Available September 16
If absence makes the heart grow fonder, then the hearts of Ronnie James Dio's fans have surely been beating our of their chests since 2010, when the man who once fronted Elf, Rainbow, and Black Sabbath came to the end of a valiant battle and succumbed to stomach cancer.

Brandon Christopher Newman, 27, received 22 years in prison after being found guilty of two counts of vehicular homicide, serious injury by vehicle, driving under the influence and reckless driving.
Newman was driving in foggy, damp conditions on Harlem-Grovetown Road early May 13 with his brother, Cameron Newman, 23, of Harlem; Mallory Jason, 19, of Martinez; and Sarah Boykin, 16, of Richmond County, when he lost control of his Dodge Quad Cab truck and hit a pine tree, police said.
The wreck killed Newman's brother and Jason. Boykin was seriously injured.
"This is a terrible tragedy," Superior Court Judge Carl Brown said. "The loss is sustained by everyone."
Newman apologized for his actions before he was sentenced.
The jury of eight women and four men deliberated for more then six hours before reaching a verdict.
The trial was Newman's second. The first, in November 2008, was declared a mistrial when the jury could not reach a unanimous decision.
Assistant District Attorney Adam King said the verdict "finally provides accountability" for Newman. He asked for the maximum sentence on behalf of the Jason family.
"I love my daughter. She was snatched away," said Jason's father, Jerry. "That was the worst day of my life."
"I know their pain," said Newman's mother, Crystal Bradford. "I lost a child that night. It is devastating."
Victor Hawk, Newman's attorney, contended that he lost control of the truck after being bumped from behind by a friend. He also claimed during the trial that blood-alcohol measurements were skewed and that an accident reconstruction was not accurate.

Excellent cookie. I have made these for years! It is easier to handle the dough if you refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes (for best results an hour). Thanks for posting!
These are really good cookies. Needed a Russian cookie for my sons project at school and tried these. I wish the recipe had made more for us to keep some at home! The only problem I ran into, and only because I didn't read the entire recipe beforehand, was the confectioners sugar measurement. I added the half cup of sugar to the batter, then noticed the instructions after the cookies are baked, to roll the cookies in confectioner's sugar. I then put about 3/4 cup sugar in a bowl for rolling. I became worried that I was maybe supposed to set some aside from the 1/2 measurement. They turned out great with the 1/2 sugar added to the batter, but the recipe could have been a tad more clear on the sugar measurements. Otherwise, great cookie! Oh , and I used pecans because I had them in the house. I just wanted to add, that after my son came home yesterday, he had a few recipe requests for this cookie from teachers and students. So it was a hit!

Off-duty Decatur Co. Sheriff's investigator makes meth bust
There are 27 comments on the WALB-TV Albany story from Jun 7, 2010, titled Off-duty Decatur Co. Sheriff's investigator makes meth bust. In it, WALB-TV Albany reports that:
DECATUR COUNTY, GA An observant Decatur County Sheriff's investigator made a meth bust on his day off.

I say he has a good observant eye to notice something like that. Great Job!!!

#2 Jun 7, 2010
Why was the investigator in a county vehicle on his day off?
United States
#3 Jun 7, 2010
You ask the stupid ignorant question of why? So he can do what he did, idiot. Get a friggin life
#4 Jun 7, 2010
Where did it say he was driving a county vehicle? Chances are that he called a marked car to make the stop for him. I doubt seriously that every detail of the arrest was included in that story.
#5 Jun 7, 2010
Aka 1, i asked that investigator and guess what, he was on his personal vehicle. You shouldn't be so quick to assume. Grow a set next time and call and ask him. Bet he will answer you just like he did me.
#6 Jun 8, 2010
well county vehicle or not.....look what he got off the street!!!!so in other words if they are off duty and in a county vehicle and saw some one trying to sell or use drugs with your child, then they should ignore it because they are "off" duty? yea rite!!! you must be a user or a seller? hummmm
United States
#7 Jun 8, 2010
I don't see what the big deal is by him asking if he was on a county vehicle on his day off. It is our responsibility to question the actions of our public workers and elected officials! In this case, I do not believe there was any wrong doing, but I do know that these people are not perfect and mistakes are made. Anyone who jumps on someone for asking a simple question is either law enforcement themselves or people that don't understand these people work for the taxpayer and are not above reproach.
Great Job to the investigator who was very observant and made the bust. It is amazing to me that the same people are the ones getting arrested over, and over again. They can't seem to figure out that they are being watched and is just a matter of time before they go down.
#8 Jun 8, 2010
Excellent example of great police work. I dont give a darn if he was in a county vehicle, his vehicle, bicycle, he can use my truck. As long as this great work continues. If he was in a county vehicle, which on this day he was not...he was still doing his job. At least he didn't ignore it. Great Job. You call can sit outside wal-mart and look at people and just about pick out the meth makers. I hope they all get caught like this.
Waterloo, Canada
#9 Jun 8, 2010
It wasn't that aka 1 asked, in fact he\she didn't, he\she ASSUMED instead of asking and THAT is the problem. There is no problem with questioning, its when you assume the answer that problems are created. I'm not law enforcement, I just happen to possess the backbone to ASK the question, and hear the answer before passing on false info. I'm smart like that.
United States
#10 Jun 8, 2010
Why ask such a stupid question to start with? Just to keep conversation going. Let it alone, to bad many more are not taken out just by observing.
#11 Jun 8, 2010
He could have been the on call investigator. They get woke up all hours of the night and have to respond. Thus, the county vehicle. It is common for those on call or that have to respond at night to be able to take their work vehicle home. When a crime occurs minutes make the difference in results. No one wants a deputy to have to drive to the office and switch out vehicles then track a suspect. It actually makes sense to have a work car.
Waterloo, Canada
#12 Jun 8, 2010
"Same cop" "off duty" "his truck" made cases like this before. Infact does it often so I read. Sex offender incident few weeks ago on bainbridgega. Aka 1 should ask a few cops. You and your kind make me sick aka1! Cops like this don't deserved to be put on trial for going above and beyond. They can use my vehicle. Oh, guess you would find something wrong with that too.
Waterloo, Canada
#13 Jun 8, 2010
AKA 1 we haven't seen you do anything. If I had to guess you're a deputy or police officers posting under that name. That would make you a officer without a pair.
#14 Jun 8, 2010
the big deal is....it doesnt matter what he was driving a meth head is off the streets!!!!!!!!
Waterloo, Canada
#15 Jun 8, 2010
Well all I did was asked a simple question. I read the story from walb.com . In the report it states that the deputy was on his day off. Then he followed the person and pulled them over. if it was his day off why was he on the county vehicle. I have some concerns as a TAX PAYER.
#16 Jun 8, 2010
You are a moron...stupid moran. The only thing you need to be concerned with is when is your next bowel movement going to take place and if you have enough TP to do the job cause you are really an ass
#19 Jun 8, 2010
AKA 1, maybe your question could have been worded differently and you wouldn't have caught so much hell. You didn't ask IF he was driving his work truck on his day off, you asked WHY he was driving his work truck on his day off. The latter makes the claim that in fact he was driving his work truck on his day off and you just want to know why. I too think it is good to question the people who work for us in the proper manner.
There are LOTS of law enforcement that take advantage of what they have at their disposal and should be held accountable, but THIS officer is not the one to be questioning. He is an assset to our county and we all should be appreciative of him and hope that the FBI or GBI don't steal him away from us.

Per capita for a town of our size, yes, we do have alot of people who are uneducated and have simple thinking processes. But for those of us who are many notches up the totem pole of intelligence, we know which posts are stupid and which ones are relevant. Ignore the stupid ones and let those people bash it out amongst themselves. Trust me, it works everytime. Go back and read but just a few of the topics and you will see what I mean.

So...you may have noticed that I have a new fetish for white backgrounds. The fact is, I have found that you can still get really brightly colored images, and have a wider variety of possibilities, with a white background. Hopefully, you don't dislike white backgrounds...and if you do, I'm sure I'll tire of them eventually, LOL!
Thanks for taking a look!

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I've really been interested in historical stories more and more as I get older. I was fascinated with this story and what happens to Chinese women back in the 1800's. These women were pretty much raised to become a match for someone so that they will go to that family and pretty much not come back to their own natal family except for certain holidays. They are worthless to their own family because they are a "burden." They learn to take care of a house and have babies and that is their only purpose. The foot binding just sounds absolutely horrible. I can't even imagine going through it.
When I read things like this, I wonder if these practices are still going on. This was a very beautifully written story about two women who are "sames" and how their lives progress from being born until they die. I really enjoyed the story and will probably read more of Lisa See's work.
Last night I watched Grandma. Starring Lily Tomlin, Julia Garner, and Marcia Gay Harden, Grandma, released in 2015, depicts the misanthropic yet philanthropic Elle (Tomlin), a poet in the layered throes of letting go, and her granddaughter's attempt to raise the money Sage (Garner) needs in order to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Currently broke and with credit cards cast to the wind (literally made into a wind chime), Elle stirs up the ghosts of relationships past and old debts as she seeks out the necessary 600 dollars with Sage in tow. An indie-style 'dramedy,' Grandma possesses a charisma and wisdom that is encouraging and impacting. All the more so because Tomlin is a comedic power and genuine badass that I really admire.
Watching this movie when I was about halfway through See's Snow Flower and the Secret Fan leant its own bit of added punch to both movie and novel as personal experiences always do. I deeply believe that interpretation through our experiences lends a complexity to reading that has no equivalent. It makes each reading of an old favorite something newly intense and poignant and it points out parallels and thoughts that might change and should grow in depth through our years of reading and living.
One of these thoughts so vividly sparking in my head while finishing See's novel was the astonishment such a movie would cause in past generations. The upset it would have caused a decade ago, the vitriol it has probably even been met with today. That's not to say that the issues brought to the fore in Grandma are one sided representations; the wisdom of the movie is that many sides of one issue are spotlighted, unapologetically and with great empathy.
So, does a movie like Grandma mean progress from a history of women-centric binding, both physical and metaphorical? I believe so and I kind of held onto that a bit as I traveled further into the Rice and Salt Days of Snow Flower and Lily, the Sitting Quietly of Lily alone with her regrets. Because there was an immense disquiet that settled on me while I read of the torturous foot binding tradition of earlier pages and a life raft of modernity was comforting. A disquiet born of modern privilege, a shallow pool that tepidly cools the "big, flapping feet" of the white American woman as strongly held onto as Lily's memories of cool river water lapping at unbound feet. And yet just as tenuous as such a memory because similar traditions still exist and women, people, still remain bound.
And even though so many thoughts were pulled out from the cloths of foot binding and the travails of Elle and Sage so that they're still rumbling around up there in my head, there were many more to be had.
The writer of Grandma, Paul Weitz, has written this movie to include an encouraging amount of empathy for all characters involved. Which brings to the fore part of See's novel and even a question included in the discussion section at the back concerning the fact that though the language of women, Nu Shu, was to be between women solely and never touched by men - there were men that knew of its existence. In the discussion question it is asked why the reader thinks these men allowed its existence. In the book, it is posed that these men didn't think women had anything of value to say either emotionally or as creative individuals with personal experiences. Fast forward to today and we have a man that has written and directed an empathetic portrayal of a still largely considered "women's issue" that is mainstream enough to be perceived as both relatable drama and comedy. We can watch a movie in which powerful and talented women give voices to this portrayal.
And yet... One of the hardest hitting issues of See's Secret Fan, the issue of the relationships between women, almost dampens the thrill such progress holds. Because it is still such a prevalent issue. After all it was mothers that bound their daughter's feet, tied their corsets, and told them they were worthless branches amongst the solidness and visibility gifted to the opposite sex. Women criticize other women, girls bully other girls. Black and white, right? Be nice and positive to other women in order to gain progress. Simple. But even this simplicity enforces the idea that all women are alike, that all women should like and nurture others. As if we're all both bonsai tree and gardener.
What I'm getting at, what I'm doing a horrible job of getting at, is that both See's novel and Grandma reflect the history and humanity of women in a multitude of thought-provoking ways. And while each of the parallels my parallel hunting and consuming brain has drawn in the above rambles is representative of power and progress, the real progress, the real power, has always been in the the provocation of thoughts. The propagation of words, ideas, experiences. Whether in the phonetic calls of two young girls bound to their fates or the actresses that can now lend voices to a part or in the click of a woman's fingers on a keyboard as she reviews a book (albeit poorly) in a space that she can, equally, express thoughts.
See's book is powerful. It made me think on so many levels; it made me cherish my place in time all the more while breathing life into those that came before me in a truly impactful way. It is enjoyable historical fiction that possesses the best thing about that genre, the taste of reality, the gravity of real presence.
One of the best books I have ever read, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan opened up new worlds to explore about older chinese practices and life. I am sad it is finished.
This was a beautiful and moving story. I absolutely loved it.
I absolutely loved this book especially the description of nu shu, I found the descriptions of foot binding very interesting and I'll never complain about sore feet again.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0812968069, Paperback)In nineteenth-century China, in a remote Hunan county, a girl named Lily, at the tender age of seven, is paired with a laotong, "old same," in an emotional match that will last a lifetime. The laotong, Snow Flower, introduces herself by sending Lily a silk fan on which she's painted a poem in nu shu, a unique language that Chinese women created in order to communicate in secret, away from the influence of men. As the years pass, Lily and Snow Flower send messages on fans, compose stories on handkerchiefs, reaching out of isolation to share their hopes, dreams, and accomplishments. Together, they endure the agony of foot-binding, and reflect upon their arranged marriages, shared loneliness, and the joys and tragedies of motherhood. The two find solace, developing a bond that keeps their spirits alive. But when a misunderstanding arises, their deep friendship suddenly threatens to tear apart.

"Auburn Hills, Michigan USA" Auburn Hills by GypsyMan
Auburn Hills Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 17 photos
Auburn Hills, Michigan
Auburn Hills is a city in Oakland County, Michigan, United States. The population was 19,837 at the 2000 census. Auburn Hills is home to the United States headquarters of DaimlerChrysler, the Walter P. Chrysler Museum, Volkswagen of America, as well as The Palace of Auburn Hills, home of the Detroit Pistons NBA team.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 43.0 km� (16.6 mi�).
I have been working and living in this ?village? city since 2000. The city of Detroit is a 40 minute drive on the freeway. The city of Windsor, Ontario is an hour away, a great place to party. I love living here because of the short commute to the office (4 miles), although the winters can be long and cold.

F18 the Hot new Capricorn (Part II)
by John Curnow on 5 Nov 2012
In Part One, we saw how multihull designer Martin Fischer and PSA's Chris Caldecoat had set out to build a better mousetrap for the F18 cat class. Not only was the it perfect pairing of talents, but the result would seem to be pretty perfect, too - Speed, strength and agility. Now just like the larger of their feline counterparts, these are somewhat mandatory prerequisites for a high speed, twin-hulled sailing machine.
Chris commented, 'When we started out, we were thinking that the new boat should be a bit like Henry Ford's early cars and borrow parts from all over the place. Early on, the feedback was that customers were going to want it to race, full tilt boogie, straight out of the box. So we've spent the money and built a better product.'
'If you add volume and size, you do get weight, so we had to look at the vessel from a holistic point of view and find the areas where there was the potential to get some of the mass back. There are new sails and a new mast section on which to carry them. The result is an overall weight saving. So too, we have hollow beams, which whilst being bigger are stronger than before, are now also lighter.'
Interestingly, the early craft had hulls made from 6mm core and they are now 12mm, which prompted Chris to say, 'They are so stiff, it's not funny!'
Martin went on to explain some of the elements in greater detail, 'Chris has worked a lot on the structure of the vessel and we did make a few, but very distinct changes. That new section we designed for the beams is much bigger and stiffer. It's very important to have a stiff platform and Chris also did lots of testing on the way the fibre was laid up for the hulls, with the result being an extremely stiff platform.'
'The same principles apply to the daggerboards, which Chris built in plain carbon with a press, which allows for much higher pressure than you get with a normal baking system. As a result, they can be long, don't break, are very stiff and we can even make them thinner. Right now, they are the thinnest in the class, to my knowledge, which is an advantage in terms of drag.'
'There is also a complete new rudder system. The rudder blades are the same as on the Phantom, which is also a new boat that I designed and just won the Worlds some six weeks ago. The rudder heads come from England and are really very nice', commented Martin.
'We also worked quite a bit on the so-called, Ackerman effect. With a catamaran, when you go around a corner, the radius of the inner hull is smaller than the radius of the outer hull and therefore the angle of the rudders has to be different, just like on a car. We ran a detailed analysis on that and found that the setup for the rudders could be improved. According to the sailors who've tried these new rudders, the boat tacks much better now', explained Martin.
'Speed through a tack is critical, especially racing at a World Championship with 90 boats in the fleet. It is absolutely crucial to have good tacking capabilities.'
Having designed, sailed and observed many of the cats out there, how does Martin feel the new Capricorn compares with another of his creations, the Wild Cat? 'The Wild Cat is extremely quick in light to moderate conditions, say up to 15 knots of wind, but if it is blowing 20 knots or more, then downwind it is an extremely difficult boat to sail well. It can be sailed quickly, but it is very difficult, especially for the bare away at the top mark, as the tend to nose dive.'
'The level of design today in the F18 Class is such that you can no longer design a boat that is quicker in all conditions. You have to make a choice and we made the choice to have a boat that was a bit more taut in stronger winds.'
'The new boat is much easier to sail, so you'll be able to maintain a higher average speed, whilst taking fewer risks and on average, that all pays dividends. I reckon it will be the better all-round boat. It might be that in the very light stuff it won't be the quickest boat, but it will be much easier to handle than the Wild Cat. The racing will tell all.'
'You'll be less likely to see the new Capricorn doing wild things at the bare away and we saw a massive example of how that can come very unstuck, just recently with the Oracle incident. Of course the top crews in F18's can manage the Wild Cat, no problem, but it is difficult. With the Wild Cat you are much more on the edge than with the new Capricorn ', Martin finished by saying.
There are four or five pre-production Capricorn in circulation at the moment and PSA is open to hearing from some local sailors that want to get involved with the new Capricorn and help push the development along. They'll be happy for that, as they are keen to get the tweaks done and move to the final specification for the production vessels sometime in December, with the Australian Championships flying up quickly behind that, in January 2013.
Accordingly, Chris says, 'We are making an open offer to come and purchase a boat and trade in/trade out with us, whilst we nail the last bits. But with our great result at the NSW F18 titles on the weekend we have already received a flood of orders'
Since 1973, Performance Sailcraft Australia has been based out of 2 Catamaran Road, Ourimbah, NSW, 2258. In those days, it was all Hobie Cats before Laser, RS and the Byte CII became the mainstays. The Capricorn 2 has been the first cat to leave Catamaran Road in around 25 years, and yes, the PSA team are pretty happy about that.
'For this part of the world, we'll sell and support the new Capricorn directly out of this factory, with the PSA trucks and trailers providing regatta support. We are a production boat facility and this vessel very much fits our company ethos. In full flight, we make five Lasers a day. With the new Capricorn, the team have been able to tinker and work away at improvements, which is something you obviously cannot do with our other craft, so it has brought a renewed joy to the factory floor.'
European and US distribution agreements are already in place and they hope to sell very significant numbers in both those markets.
Martin concluded by saying, 'I am really happy that Chris has launched this project. I am really hoping that he will reach the top and I am optimistic about that actually happening.'
Given the recent 1, 2, 3 result at the weekends F18 NSW State Championships, (second place was an earlier Capricorn with the latest appendage upgrades) you'd have to think that they are being guarded with their enthusiasm.
That Chris actually took out the title certainly augurs well for both he and the craft itself.
Ultimately, you get the notion that Martin is so very perfect for cats, which would be just like many of his fellow countrymen.
Now in conjunction with Chris Caldecoat's dedication to the F18 box rule and being out on the water, it's more than a perfect match, so we expect this cat continue will continue to get the winners hat.

Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Time to Work Overtime on the Economy, Not Mandates

It's getting difficult to know what to think when President Obama says he wants to create jobs and then repeatedly throws up barriers to job creation.
The Affordable Care Act — Obamacare — is going to make employee benefit costs skyrocket when its requirement for mandatory health coverage for most full-time workers takes effect next year. The Congressional Budget Office says his proposed increase in the federal minimum wage would put half a million people out of work. And now he wants to give overtime to many white collar managers and professionals as if they were blue collar employees who work by the hour. Where does it stop?
The White House hasn't given us enough details to know exactly what the overtime proposal would do. But we do know overtime rules underwent a comprehensive overhaul only 10 years ago, and that the reevaluation of workforces and job classifications by employers in every sector of the economy was a massive undertaking that consumed considerable resources.
At the time, there was a need for an overtime update. Wage levels that allow exemption from overtime had not been updated in 30 years and job descriptions for managers and professionals dated from the 1950s. Trial lawyers had seized on the lack of clarity, and overtime lawsuits had tripled.
At this point, however, overtime is a matter of settled law. Millions of workers are happy because they are receiving overtime and businesses are happy because they are avoiding lawsuits. To force businesses to go through another overhaul this soon would create administrative burdens that would distract from efforts to create jobs during our nation's still-struggling economic recovery.
The President has a very laudable goal in trying to close the gap between America's wealthiest individuals and its poorest. And despite the contradiction between his words and policies, we believe he is serious about trying to create jobs. But instead of initiatives that artificially drive up payroll costs and make it harder to hire, we need policies that promote true economic growth. If the economy grows, jobs will grow with it.
One example of pro-growth policy is the comprehensive tax reform legislation proposed by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp. Under his plan, many tax breaks that benefit only a few industries would be eliminated in return for lower tax rates for all businesses — and for individuals as well. According to the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, the Camp bill would boost GDP by $3.4 trillion over 10 years, create 1.8 million jobs and raise take-home pay for a family of four by $1,300 a year. Which makes the most sense in today's economy? Policies that result in job losses, or those that result in job gains?
Washington needs to stop working overtime on mandates — and start working overtime on putting people back to work.

AT&T keeps a diverse eco-system of OSes and it's getting ready for Windows Phone 7 to join the party. The WP7 powered HTC T8788, which is bound for AT&T, was photographed sliding open to reveal a surprise.
The HTC T8788 will inevitably receive a more memorable name but it's got a feature that will make it even more memorable. It's a side-slider, so you'd expect a QWERTY keyboard to pop up when you slide it out.
The HTC T8788 has a slide out loudspeaker
So, what does the lower half of the slider hide? A speaker - so the HTC T8788 should be one serious multimedia phone. It has a kickstand on the back too.
There's no info on pricing and launch dates yet.
How to connect my phone to computer. iam tried but only charge will be in raising, but not connected to phone.
How download the application of this phone plzzzzz reply any one .....
u like the phone because,is very smart and quick in doing more of staff.

Beautiful Cuba , July 2016
Joanne Butcher
Our experience with Intrepid was excellent. This was our first time traveling with them and our destination was Cuba. We were a party of four, two parents and two adult children (21 & 26). Our agent at Intrepid was fast to find the perfect tour for us with regard to our dates and requirements. Once agreed, she was efficient at securing all flights and other relevant arrangements. The tour itself was totally amazing. Everything was perfectly arranged. Our accommodation was of a high standard, considering our destination. Our tour guide was exceptional, with a wonderful personality, full of joy, knowledge and helpfulness. The tour gave us a wonderful experience of life in Cuba, with diversity of locations and activities. Our transport was very comfortable and our driver was excellent. An excellent experience with one exception only ... Cubana airways are not too reliable! Our flight out was cancelled and we had to make alternate arrangements as we had a deadline to meet. This aside, I cannot recommend this tour and Intrepid travel highly enough.

Crucially, the markup inserted in IE is missing the closing < / a > tag. In FF this problem does not occur.
I suspect something is amiss with the Javascript in the file inline-uploading.php. I've tried to look at it but it makes my head ache.
Can anyone else varify this bug?

The biannual European Biogas Conference covers a broad range of topics related to biogas, from production to utilisation, with plenty of room for networking between representatives from research, industry and production. There will be an exhibition and a poster session.
Topics include European policy issues, biomethane, digestate use, sustainability of biogas and bioeconomy. With this event we strive to unite biogas experience and share latest information on policies, industry developments, innovation and legislation.
1 October 2014, Reims, France
This workshop aims to identify workable solutions to the major hurdles and concerns hampering the development of the biobased chemicals sector in the EU. We are especially interested in views on 3HPA, succinic acid, PDO, furfural, and isoprene as we consider these chemical building blocks to have the highest potential for deployment in the EU.Input from market, policy and technological experts within the area of chemical building blocks is crucial to allow us to develop recommendations which best answer the needs of industry.
Chemical building blocks provide routes to a wide range of different products and chemicals and, in turn, an astonishing range of different downstream uses. Industrial biotechnology offers the potential for developing biobased chemical building blocks that can have new or improved functionalities compared to those which can be produced from fossil fuels or traditional chemical routes. Despite this potential, significant hurdles to the production of biobased chemical building blocks using IB processes exist in the EU.
