Tested by Capt. Bob Smith
Maxum's new lineup for 2004 was open for inspection by their dealers recently in Ft. Myers, FL at the Sanibel Harbor Resort Marina. We were invited along to test several of their new models and as soon as we could wrestle away the boats from the dealers, we were off running up and down the intercoastal waterway having a blast and getting some great information for you. My test boat was the 2700 SE, which has a distinctive design and equally agile ride.
The 2700 SE is 28'1" long overall and 29'2" fully rigged. She carries a beam width of 9'5" and weighs 7,400 lbs with her standard engine package. Her hull commands a draft of 22" and with the drive down, she only needs 39" below her hull. She can carry up to 89 gallons of fuel and has a fresh water capacity of 30 with a 20-gallon waste water capacity.
Maxum uses the beam forward design which increases entertainment space in the cockpit and enhances room below. You really end up feeling like you have a boat of much larger size than the 28 feet she is. Entering the boat from the fixed pier was ok, but the arch got in the way with its swept back design. There is a good handrail to hang onto and non-skid for sure grip under foot, but remember to duck on entry! The arch has two JBL speakers and two lights mounted in it. The step down to the swim platform was a good one, so boarding from a floating dock is the easiest. There is a storage bin in the stern for fenders and wet lines, as well as a handy rail for balance while hanging out on the stern platform.
The stern platform is 23" deep and has a telescoping ladder with handrail so you can get yourself out of the water without help from aboard. The stern cockpit area has two facing benches with a removable table that fits into the engine hatch. Cup holders and a convenient drainable box with a lid are to starboard and a wet bar is to port.
Engine Access
The engine hatch has two pulls, but really only one is easily reached or necessary. Room down around the engine is fabulous. It's deep and spacious, and when it comes time to do some engine service, you will appreciate the room here.
The Helm
Back up topside, you have lots of seating room including a port side sun lounger and wide helm bench with slide adjustment and bolster. The U-lounger in back has a filler cushion to make that space another large sun bathing area. Cup holders and top side storage is plentiful. The helm had complete instrumentation including a Danforth flush mount compass, digital depth indicator and full analog gauges as well as a 12vdc outlet for portable devices. The tilt wheel was padded and had power assisted steering.
Three steps lead up to the wide dash and on through the walk-through windshield. Out front is an anchor station with roller and hawser pipe for line going into the locker. A large translucent bow hatch breaks up the expanse forward. The windshield is a wraparound green safety glass and has a starboard mounted windshield wiper.
The Cabin
Back down to the cabin, the entry is through a sliding door and down three steps. You need to prepare to turn to port for the last step or you will take a 20" step down to the floor of the cabin if you step straight ahead. You have about 74" of headroom in the cabin and 39" at the head of the bunk under the cockpit. There's an abundance of light and room in this layout. The galley is to port with sink, cook top and microwave. The refrigerator is a dual voltage refrigerator so you can keep things cold underway as well as at the docks. The full wet head has lots of room for a stand up shower. There is plenty of room to sit around the table in the bow area, and room enough for two couples or a small family to sleep overnight in the cabin. There are over 100 standard items and another 37 optional items you can choose to add on to this model, many more than I can talk about in such a small space.
I enjoyed taking her out for testing and the helicopter shoot. She drove through the bumps with ease and handled well in turns. In tight turns, she lost some speed, but that is expected. I got a lot of extra looks from the boats passing by. We found she was out of the hole in only 7.2 seconds and was passing 30 mph in only 13 seconds. Trolling along at idle, she burns .9 gallons per hour and at cruise she is turning 3500 rpm at 24.1mph. At cruise she is burning about 10.2 gph and has a range of 189 miles. We found top end turning about 4800 rpm, which burned 21.1 gallons per hour at 38.5 mph. At top end you can expect to run about 146 miles on the tank. Sound readings ran from a low of 62 at idle to a high of 90 dBa at top end.
Maxum's 2700 SE has a powerful yet agile ride that is matched with artistic design for a lifetime of family enjoyment underway. She has plenty of room topside for entertainment during the day and lots of room below for a comfortable weekend on the water. If the cruising lifestyle is in your future, be sure to take a close look at Maxum's 2700 SE.

Valentine's Day (Weekend Whine)
Hallmark, if you read my blog (which is really hypothetical in nature because I'm totally certain that you do) please do not take offense to this posting and most importantly, accept my apology for any decrease in your 2010 sales because of this blog posting. I genuinely hate it when I single-handedly take down Hallmark sales, really I do.
Anyway. I think that most of my angst is because I'm too old/too long married to appreciate Valentine's Day. It must have served its purpose back in my younger years because hubby and I have always exchanged Valentines, but in the last decade (or two) they've become perfunctory, a card or flowers given out of expectation. How lame is that? Valentine's Day between two long-time lovers should not be just a day, but a daily expression of love. Honey, I remembered to pack your blood pressure pills. Sweetheart, I know that you get wigged out when I invite people to our house unexpectedly, so I didn't. Dear, thank you for driving me to Walmart tonight because I didn't want to go alone. Darling, thank you for the best soup I've ever eaten. Honey, thank you for not committing me to a mental institution. These are the true Hallmark moments of long lasting love.
Look not for the beauty, nor flawless of skin
but look for the heart that is loyal within.
For beauty may fade and skin grow old,
but the heart that is loyal will never grow cold.
I love you Dave. Forever and for always. (But if you could just loosen the straps on my straight jacket just a bit, I could hug you honey)

Mags, sometimes ~ even on days of national love ~ we need to whine. So consider this quote:

nice post... my wife and i decided years ago we would only do home made item exchanges. What really matters is the time and thought in a gift, not the price.

Even when I was in a new relationship, I could never 'get' Valentine's Day! It was only fun when I was a child and we had a party at school. Those are my best memories of Valentine's Day. We should have been celebrating Chinese New Year!

Thank you all for you kind comments and Happy Valentine's Day from my heart to yours.

Moogie led us all to believe you did speak French and you blew it.
I say the same thing about Mother's Day and Father's Day. They are more for the kids, then the parents, which is not bad.
I would hate to think I am only worthy of motherhood and wifeliness one day a year.
After, Buddy Joanne, laughed at us, old-timers, I am going on a rampage. You can join me.

Schmidts Have Their Say on North Korea
Two weeks ago, Google Inc. executive chairman Eric Schmidt's trip to North Korea made headlines for its very happening. This weekend, Mr. Schmidt and his daughter Sophie, who was part of the delegation, posted some thoughts and impressions of the trip online.
The post by Mr. Schmidt himself underscored the let-the-Internet-run-free message that he delivered in Pyongyang and that he announced to reporters in Beijing after leaving North Korea. He noted that it wouldn't be difficult technically for North Korea to let its people access the Internet.
But, as he did in Beijing, he stayed away in his post from discussing the political and other considerations that are at work.
He also shied away from describing the trip itself. As a result, his daughter's post, for many North Korean observers, is by far more interesting to read.
It's full of little details, the kind of interesting things one tells to friends about a trip that wind up, in the case of North Korea, being all the more compelling.
For instance, she described the unrelenting cold, felt even in the showcase capital by a party of guests who are international celebrities. And she noted the lack of street-level commerce and commercial signs in Pyongyang.
Then there was this, "Ordinary North Koreans live in a near-total information bubble, without any true frame of reference. I can't think of any reaction to that except absolute sympathy."
Though Ms. Schmidt began her blog post by noting that "the longer she's away from North Korea, the less sure I am about what any of actually meant," she conveyed its essence in a few sentences that she called "top-level takeaways."
She wrote:
"Go to North Korea if you can. It is very, very strange.
"If it is January, disregard the above. It is very, very cold.
"Nothing I'd read or heard beforehand really prepared me for what we saw."

AUSTIN (December 12, 2012)—The Texas Association of Business called Wednesday for a dramatic rollback of the state's new, tougher high school graduation standards amid outcry over the standardized test known as STAAR.
The TAB said Wednesday the state should scrap STAAR exams in world geography and world history that had been required for graduation.
The group also backs a three-year transition period giving current students a reprieve from STAAR's full consequences.
Students began taking STAAR last school year and the association has been among the exam's biggest supporters, maintaining that high academic standards are necessary to prepare Texas students for demanding future jobs.
Association President Bill Hammond acknowledged that the new plan could be seen as a retreat, but said "it gets us to where we need to be."

In Theaters This Week
Of all the great film directors, Alfred Hitchcock has been perhaps the most elusive.
Unlike Orson Welles, he was never larger than life, nor did he have the colorful backstory of a John Ford or a John Huston. That said, he certainly created a public persona. But in a Hollywood defined by the glare of the publicity spotlight, Hitchcock was a private man completely consumed by his work.
As a result, books trying to get at the real Hitchcock largely have tried to define the man by his movies, resorting to some serious psychobabble. It was probably only a matter of time, but in the space of a few months, two movies have tried to paint a portrait of the filmmaker who gave us "Vertigo," "North by Northwest," "The Man Who Knew Too Much," "The Birds" and -- of course -- "Psycho."
The first effort, HBO's "The Girl," focused on the making of "The Birds" and Hitchcock's relationship with its star, Tippi Hedren. As seen largely through the lens of Hedren's memories, this Hitchcock was a psycho letch and voyeur who abused his star as, it is suggested, he abused all his golden-haired leading ladies before. It came off more tawdry than insightful.
Now, along comes "Hitchcock," which picks the making of a different film ("Psycho") and a different relationship (Hitchcock's wife of more than 50 years, Alma Reville) to try and find the essence of the man. It fails just as badly as "The Girl," although in a much more stylish manner and with considerably better actors on hand to divert our attention from the lame storytelling and lack of insight.
The sad thing is that there is a good movie buried somewhere in "Hitchcock." The book on which it's based, Stephen Rebello's "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of 'Psycho,' " is a lively, entertaining read about the way films were made in the late 1950s and early 1960s and about the problems the director had -- despite coming off a big success with "North by Northwest" -- getting the movie made.
Throughout "Hitchcock," there are fascinating peeks into the filmmaking machinery as Hitchcock (played by Anthony Hopkins under a ton of makeup, prosthetics and a fat suit) and Reville (Helen Mirren) struggle to get "Psycho" past the studio bosses and censors.
Of course, the issue was that "Psycho" is essentially a horror film based on the real-life and very macabre murders of Ed Gein. His crimes were so compelling in their way that Gein would later inspire films ranging from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" to "Silence of the Lambs."
Hollywood was just horrified that a prominent director would take on such a bloody project. At one point, Hitchcock's longtime assistant Peggy Robertson (Toni Collette) says to him, "This is so unlike you."
"That, my dear, is precisely the point," the director replies.
But to director Sacha Gervasi and script writer John J. McLaughlin ("Black Swan"), the process of making "Psycho" isn't enough. So they have layered onto his obsession with the film (Gein, played by Michael Wincott, pops up in Hitch's imagination throughout the movie), his obsession with cool, blonde actresses (see "The Girl") and a budding affair between Reville and "Strangers On a Train" writer Whitfield Cook. It's a melodramatic stew thrown together with precious little finesse and zero insight.
You have to feel sorry for Hopkins, who struggles mightily but, with nothing solid to work from, can't come close to creating a fully realized character. Mirren looks absolutely nothing like the unglamorous real-life Reville, who did play a critical role in the director's career, but at least she escapes with her dignity somewhat intact.
It's actually the supporting cast that fares better. Michael Stuhlbarg (Arnold Rothstein in HBO's "Boardwalk Empire") has some nice moments as Lew Wasserman, Hitchcock's agent and later a big studio boss. James D'Arcy ("Cloud Atlas") has one convincing scene as "Psycho" star Anthony Perkins; Collette manages to bring some life to Peggy Robertson.
In addition, Scarlett Johansson gives a snappy performance as Janet Leigh, bringing a sense of reality and Hollywood glamour to the part. When she's on the screen, the film almost comes alive.
However, the bad in this film far outweighs the good. Hitchcock once famously said that a good filmmaker should always "always make the audience suffer as much as possible." Unfortunately, I don't think he meant the kind of suffering "Hitchcock" inflicts on its audience.

I have had two charlie horses in the past two weeks. One swimming and one running. What is going on? Am I working too hard...or is it a nutrition thing?
Aside from the obvious stretching more (multiple times throughout the day), drinking enough, having enough potassium make sure you are getting enough Calcium and Magnesium in your diet. A vitamin supplement geared specifically at Calcium & Magnesium is generally available at GNC and other heath stores. I experienced plenty of cramps / Charlie horses when I first started. It made me rethink my workout routine, so I switched to a ratio of 5:1 bike to run, for example if I biked for 30 mins I would transition to the treadmill for 5 mins, and over time I increased the overall time for both and slowly I noticed that my calf muscles didn't cramp. This ratio change to my workout coupled with the extra nutritional intake of Calcium & Magnesium reduced my cramping; note, everyone's body chemistry is different and we all react differently to workouts and vitamins. One last thing I tried that I felt helped with preventing cramps was the use of compression recovery socks (I have a pair of Under Amour socks but there are many brands available 2XU, Zoot, etc…while there isn't enough scientific evidence to prove compression socks/pants work I felt they made a difference physically in recovery time and mental preparation for the next workout). Best of luck to you!! (you didn't mention where the cramps where but I hope this helps)
i agree with what was said already... when i was a soccer player ( many many moons ago ) we would eat bananas everyday during the season to raise our potassium levels to avoid cramping... also i dont know why but i only drank water and lots of it, it seemed like i would cramp more if i drank the sports drinks??? like i said i dont know why and maybe it is just me but thats what worked... good luck
excellence is obtained by those who care more than others think is wise...
who risk more than others think is safe...
and dream more than others think is practical
Back in my more fit days, I had similar problems while swimming in my upper calf muscle just below my knee. Tended to hit me early in a workout while doing flip turns (relaxation of the muscle after effort during the swim).
Diet was always the fix for me. I stretched a ton before hand but it wouldn't prevent it from happening if I wasn't eating well. Making sure I was eating more banannas and drinking more milk was my unscientific but effective solution to the problem.
Yep you guys are right...I have been asking around, and the universal answer is drink water and eat a bananna. Shoulda known better
Charlie horse is a bruised muscle...cramps, where the muscle balls up can be caused by lack of ellectrolites (Gatorade) Sometimes too much water can flush these, I like low sodium V8 and bananas/yogurt.

Some years of the Wood County Democrat of Quitman (1950 to 1987 plus 1993 and 2005) are searchable online. The most complete decade is 1951-60. Only a few years/issues of the other decades are made available. Some searches require you to be a paid subscriber of a web service, and some are free.
Google News Archives (http://news.google.com/archivesearch) has a free search of the 1951 to 1960 Democrat as well as the year of 2005. The easiest way to search Google's News Archive contents is to go to the Small Town Papers site (http://www.smalltownpapers.com/newspapers/newspaper_pages.php?id=413). In the search box near the top of the page, type a surname, city name or other word which might have appeared in the newspapers. For example: typing the word funeral, turned up 603 results most of which were obituaries/funeral notices. While on that page, by clicking and dragging you can read other news items and on additional pages of that issue of the newspaper. Typing funeral and a year ( funeral 1956) yielded funeral notices of papers of that year.
Footnote.com (http://footnote.com) has the Democrat for searching and the digital images for the years 1951-60, 1979, 1984, 1986, 1993, and 2005. A one-year membership is $79.95 paid in full at the time you subscribe, or you can pay $11.95 monthly. The yearly option is better if you will be keeping the service for a whole year. There is also a 7-day free trial. You have to give a credit card number, and if you don't cancel before the seven days is up, your credit card will automatically be charged for a one-year membership. There is a convenient link on your account page to notify them to cancel before your card is charged.
While both Google and Footnote say they get their search data from smalltownpapers.com, if you subscribe to the latter site ($25.00 a year) you only get to access the 2005 Democrat newspapers.
Offline searching is available on the microfilm reader at the Quitman Public Library. Ask for the microfilm at the library desk. Although the microfilm collection at the library has some skipped issues, it starts in 1917.

The Vengeance 1500 USB Gaming Headset: intense, immersive sound for gamers who care about audio
Corsair Vengeance 1500 provides amazing sound, superior comfort and features the power of Dolby Headphone multi-channel audio built-in. Experience immersive multi-channel gaming the way it was intended from the 7.1 / 5.1 Dolby Digital USB sound processing. Impressive 50mm audio drivers and high-sensitivity noise cancelling mic provide high bandwidth audio quality and clear in game chat. Large diameter, circumaural earcup design with micro fibre covers and memory-foam pads give you comfort even in extend hours wear.
Vengeance 1500: Dolby Headphone multi-channel audio built in.
If you have onboard sound, the Vengeance 1500 provides easy one-cable USB connection and Dolby Headphone technology that lets you enjoy multi-channel games the way they were meant to be played. Dolby Headphone is compatible with any game with 3D audio, and helps reduce "headphone fatigue" while delivering the accurate 360-degree audio imaging you need if you're playing to win.
The results of obsessive audio engineering
Amazing sound
The massive 50mm drivers greatly reduce the overloading and distortion that can occur with gaming headsets that use 40mm drivers. You get more accurate sound reproduction (particularly for the all-important low-frequency effects). You hear more audio, more cleanly, and you get a competitive advantage
Superior Comfort
The extra-wide, extra deep earcups don't just help things sound great -- they feel better, too. The memory foam earpads with microfiber covers provide a comfortable and reliable fit that conforms to the shape of your head without binding or pinching.
Intense, Immersive Gaming
The circumaural, closed-back design blocks distracting sounds and keeps your head in the game, and the extra-large inline volume and microphone control is easy to grab and use when the action heats up -- you don't need to take your eyes off the screen.
Whether you're barking instructions to your teammates or chatting with old friends, you deserve to be heard. The unidirectional, noise-cancelling microphone is tuned to capture your voice loudly and clearly, while screening out distracting background noises. And, it flips out of sight when you're not using it.
Corsair audio: a sound philosophy
Comfort, fidelity, and playing to win
At Corsair, we believe that you need more than just dramatic audio. You need the comfort that allows you to play or talk for hours without thinking about what's on your head. You need fidelity that gives you a listening experience that's not just immersive -- it must also be true to the source material. And, of course, you need the detailed positioning and situational awareness that lets you play your best.
The Corsair Advantage
With a long history of building enthusiast-grade memory and components, we've earned a reputation for quality, compatibility, and performance. Need help? We're available by phone call, email or web forum.

Worth every penny!
Reviewed by Sam. Review Posted 30/10/2012
These are absolutely brilliant headphones. The quality is everything you would expect from Corsair. The fit and comfort is just right, with no pinching, slipping, or creaking like some of their rivals offerings. The sound quality is also as good as you'd expect with plenty of adjustments available via the simple control panel. They lost a point on ease of use though, as the driver software that includes the sound control panel software is not included with the headphones. You need to first realise it's needed, and then go and find it yourself on the corsair site. In summary, a very decent headset in every way, and worth every penny in my opinion.

Reviewed by Jack Thompson. Review Posted 23/01/2013
I was initially a bit hesitant about spending so much money on a headset and almost cancelled the order. However upon receiving it I could not be happier. I've had probably an average of 2 hour a day usage for the past month since purchasing with some sessions lasting up to 7 hours.
The headset itself is beautifully designed and after going through many Creative and Logitech headsets I have come to appreciate the incredible build quality of the product compared to any other headsets I have seen. I personally find the headset extremely comfortable and I feel no ear ache (often associated with other headsets) even after using it for very long periods of time. The microphone quality is as you would expect - top notch, people have even commented on how much clearer my voice has become over Skype (in comparison to my last headset a Plantronics Gamecom 780). The 7.1 surround sound is just awesome; can't say more really.
In short just buy it. You will not be disappointed!

A friend of mine has an ADSL account with BT/Yahoo here in the UK. For some reason BT/Yahoo feel compelled to supply (nay insist upon) a customised version of I.E. as the browser for their customers. Okay so first things first: why choose I.E.? If you are thinking it's for that old chestnut of greater compatibility with a higher number of websites, think again. That argument would work if your customised browser was simply IE rebadged and to all intents and purposes presented as IE. This monstrosity doesn't -- it presents as a BT/Yahoo browser based upon IE. Thus some of the IE compatibility works and some doesn't. But there's more -- much more.
Some sites will detect you as using IE and recommend you download their toolbar (Google for one). Leaving aside the can-of-worms that is whether such toolbars should be installed at all, with this browser you can't because the toolbar will install itself on the default (and don't forget impossible to remove) installation of IE. So your customer clicks the "download the Google toolbar" button, follows the instructions and restarts their browser.
No toolbar, no handy gadgets, no "powerful tools".
Also many of the features of the Microsoft offering are missing so all those handy guides out there that tell you how to do things in IE -- don't work in this thing.
A specific complaint
This all came to my attention because of a specific issue my friend was having. Prior to that they had soldiered on in a world of fudge and making-do because they figured that's how it was with "the Internet". The issue that finally got to them was that every time they went to a particular section of the BT/Yahoo home pages, they were presented with an error message. It turned out it was a javascript debug message -- we have all seen them and most of us know what to do with them (ignore them generally) but to a non-techie end-user it might as well have been written in martian. After it kept happening they called me in.
I told my friend to contact BT/Yahoo and tell them the specific advert we suspected as causing the problem. BT/Yahoo said it was an issue with the PC. Nope -- we checked that. Then they said it was the browser version. Nope -- we updated it to their latest version (based on I.E. 8). Then they said it was not their fault but they'd look into it. No, my friend didn't fall for that one either. My friend rang Dell -- the PC supplier. But this was outside their remit and so they charged £40 for the support. The "support" amounted to a hill of beans (as Bogart would say). So back to BT/Yahoo and so-on and so-on.
What am I ranting about?
So am I ranting about the script error? Not really, as painful as it is it could be worked around. Am I ranting about IE per-se? not really although it has again proven it is unfit for purpose in my mind. Am I ranting about the BT/Yahoo browser? Not in so many words. The browser is a terrible mish-mash of IE -- with the appearance and functionality of IE 5. Slow, cumbersome, poorly thought out and ill-conceived. It has the hallmarks of "that will do" decision which has never been re-visited.
Welcome to the future - free software
Now there will be those who will be saying that you can get similar experiences with free software. With some products that is the case, but with things like browsers I have found you can often get timely and -- shock -- helpful help. Yes some of that is via end-users on forums and the like but the difference is that the advice free software forums tends to give is generally not of the kind that helps you work around the software. I suspect I am not alone in this, but my experience of free software products (particularly the better known ones) is that they tend to get things right more often than their proprietary counterparts. Certainly the free software browsers I've encountered do not give the kind of horrid experience this pile of rubbish does and here's the real nub: if they did we -- the users -- could do something about it other than run away (although I'll admit sometimes that is the correct response).
I've since discovered that for all of BT/Yahoo's posturing, you are not required to use their horrible browser. You can use alternatives and so -- for a number of reasons, my friend is soon to enter the wonderful world of free software when I install Firefox and AdBlock for them. And then they go back to browsing again and not waiting for "customer support" to get back to them.
That's it for today. Rant mode off!
Sounds just like AOL
Sounds just like the sort of deal my mother got with America Online a few years ago: a customized (amazingly awful) browser and low-end internet service. It was also pretty bad (she long ago switched to a more generic internet service and a Mozilla-based browser running in Debian, BTW).
I think they do it primarily to force users to see advertisements, which probably account for more of their revenue than do the subscription fees. This is obviously not in the customer's best interest, so they want the software to be a proprietary black box that the customer can't (or at least won't) try to tinker with.
There may also be a perception that having one client-side software system will minimize their own tech support costs. I think it's unlikely that this actually pans out in the end, because the reduced variety of clients has to be weighed against the inevitability that such a custom-made client is going to be buggier to start with (but this is an old engineering lesson that people just keep on having to re-learn).
The "real" problem is accepting a "too good to be true" deal like that without thinking about the consequences -- if the subscription fees are not enough to pay their bills, then the company is clearly planning to make their money in some other way. It's a matter of caveat emptor to check for such catches.

It's a matter of caveat emptor to check for such catches.
Caveat emptor is pretty much a fact of life these days but in this case the browser is not even mentioned as part of any deal. I suspect most people signing up to BT as their ISP do so because BT is the biggest name in the UK telecoms market and it seems simpler to keep everything in one box. They aren't aware of course that the BT that supplies their phone line (and even the backbone for the broadband) is different to the one that would be their ISP.
So the case is that many people just sign up for "broadband" with a company they've heard of and insert the CD they are sent according to the instructions. Then they get a "BT/Yahoo Internet" icon on their desktop. It very much resembles the way AOL imply that you must sign on before you can access the Internet from a PC connected to one of their routers.
BTW AOL still do the same thing - at least here in the UK they do. I have another friend who uses AOL (last one - I have weaned the others away) and I probably do more support for them on their broadband than anything else. You can use other browsers but it's patchy at best and it drives me nuts.

Perfect knowledge in the market
Yeah, this is one of those examples of why the "perfect knowledge" assumption in first-order free market economics doesn't really work out in real life: knowing that the price is too low is too difficult for the majority of the market. You need expert knowledge of an industry which is constantly changing in order to know that.
Clearly that answer doesn't help anyone but experts.
This is also the root of the problem for "end user" support with free software: you can get lots of help and make free software work, but only if you have a relatively "expert" level of knowledge of the field.
Trying to make things both simple and reliable in this intrinsically complex and incompletely-predictable area of technology would be difficult even if everyone were perfectly cooperating. As it is, with competing self-interest thrown into the mix (which is true, though less problematic, even for free software), the results are understandable. Frankly, it's amazing this stuff ever works.
The real innovations in this field aren't to do with technology itself, but rather in how we use it to allow people to organize themselves to overcome the detrimental effects of self (versus group) interest.
In the proprietary world, the main "sin" to be overcome is greed ("what's in it for me?"), while in the free software world it's "sloth" ("why should I spend my time on that?"). I think it can be argued that the latter is a better enemy to have, but both are troublesome. :-)
Are you sure it's proprietary ?
From what you write about that browser, I'm fairly sure it's a rebranded (poorly) IE.
Check out IEAK http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/bb219541.aspx
Maybe you can build a clean version for your friend?
yes it is
Well if it is just IE rebardned, it's still proprietary but in addition, this is still more than a simply IE rebranded. I've encountered plenty of those browsers before - which start with IE, a different icon and default title.
Not this one, they've added bits, taken bits away and - here's the crucial bit - you have to agree to an EULA (not from MS) before installing it. In addition there is a significant wait between say IE8 and the next version of this browser.
I'm not sure that replacing a number of proprietary-based headaches with different ones will help here. Firefox will do them fine and so far has not caused any issues.

Virginia Commission Approves First Wind Farm in State
December 31, 2007
Virginia's State Corporation Commission (SCC) has granted approval to the first wind-powered electric generation facility in the commonwealth, on condition that environmental impacts are minimized. The decision will move the state closer to realizing the renewable energy potential of its wind resources, rated as good-to-excellent by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
Highland New Wind Development, LLC, based in Harrisonburg, is planning to build and operate the wind farm on 200 acres in Highland County. The site is on a mountain ridge in north central Virginia, near the West Virginia border. The $60 million facility will include 20 turbines that will produce up to 39 megawatts of electricity.
The conditions of approval include post-construction wildlife monitoring by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The monitoring plan includes daily monitoring of bird and bat mortality at 10 randomly selected sites at various times of the year. Highland Wind will pay for the monitoring and any mitigation measures necessary to protect the avian species.
For more information, see the SCC December 20 press release (PDF 25 KB), the SCC order (PDF 1.1 MB), and a wind resource map of Virginia, created by DOE's Wind Powering America initiative. Download Adobe Reader.

Bomb threat forces Sarasota courthouse evacuation
Published: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 10:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 11:36 a.m.
A bomb threat directed at a Sarasota County court early today caused officials to evacuate buildings and nearby offices as they searched for potential explosives, authorities said.
The bomb threat came in shortly before 9 a.m. today, specifically noting a courthouse, causing law enforcement to search both the main courthouse building at 2002 Ringling Blvd. and the court administration building at 4000 Tamiami Trail in Venice.
Both courthouses were empty and closed for Good Friday, but nearby offices were alerted to the threat and chose to evacuate while the search for explosives was conducted. Those buildings included The Historic Courthouse, Downtown Sarasota Terrace Building and Sarasota County Justice Center.
Streets near the courthouse also were closed.
No bomb was found, but police declined to provide further information about how the threat was issued.
Police continue to investigate the bomb threat.
A bomb threat forced the evacuation of the Sarasota County Courthouse earlier today.
Emergency crews responded to the scene, ushering workers out to nearby streets as a precaution.
The scene was cleared within minutes, and employees were allowed back into the building.
Because it is Good Friday, court was not in session.

Johnny's Car Wash is sold
Published: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 11:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 11:38 a.m.
SARASOTA - The iconic Johnny's Car Wash and Detailing Center has been sold to a Bonita Springs-based company after being family owned and operated for more than 55 years.
Johnny's will remain open and will continue to operate with the same staff, the new owners said.
Steve Anderson's father opened Johnny's in 1957.
The sale of the business on Tamiami Trail, adjacent to the Westfield Southgate Mall, closed on Dec. 31 for an undisclosed price, said new owner, Randy Nychyk, who owns the property with his partner and cousin, Tim Nychyk.
"We're not a multi-national company, just two cousins who got into the business 12 years ago," Randy Nychyk said. "We knew the original owners since we started out, so when they were interested in selling we were the first folks they called."
The new owners built and opened their first car wash, Bonita Bubbles, in Bonita Springs in 2002. Since then, they also have acquired Cousins Carwash in Largo in 2010.
Nychyk said there are no immediate plans to continue to expand in the Southwest Florida area.
Johnny's Car Wash and Detailing Center offers full-service car washes, vehicle detailing, window tinting and paintless dent removal services.
The Andersons still own and operate two self-service Sparkle Car Wash sites in Sarasota, on Bee Ridge and Clark roads, said Steve Anderson, who is with St. Petersburg-based Anderson Ventures Inc.
"We are ready to look at new endeavors," Anderson said. "We feel as though this new family that's come in will continue on in a positive way."

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - The Snowmass Village Town Council voted on March 18 to allow dogs on leashes on the north Rim Trail for a temporary period of time.
The north section of the trail is currently closed to dogs, based on a restriction in the planned-unit development for the Horse Ranch neighborhood that is meant to protect wildlife habitat. The restriction formerly was not enforced, and many residents have campaigned to open it to canines.
The council had been considering amending the PUD for some time. However, at their March 18 meeting, the officials decided to declare a temporary moratorium on the rule in order to test compliance with a leash law.
A trail that would connect the north Rim to Sky Mountain Park, where dogs are prohibited, is planned, but Pitkin County open space officials have expressed that they want to see compliance with a leash law on the town-owned trail before they build it. Town Attorney John Dresser suggested a temporary moratorium would allow the council to test compliance and prove to the county that it can enforce a leash restriction before taking "the full step."

These otters are the smallest of the world's 13 otter species.
Indonesia, southern China, southern India, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia
Freshwater streams, rivers, and creeks as well as coastal regions, often near dense foliage
Webbed paws and great manual dexterity allow otters to grab a variety animals living near the water's edge, including crabs, mussels, frogs, and snails.
After a gestation of about 60 days, females give birth to a litter of up to six pups, usually one or two.
These otters live in family groups of about 12 individuals.
Although these otters are not listed as endangered, they are seriously threatened by rapid habitat destruction, hunting, and pollution. Scientists consider them an indicator species—their population indicates the general health of their habitat and the health of other species in their habitat.
Small-clawed otters have a vocabulary of a dozen or more calls, including a distress call for when they're in trouble and need help.
A family of small-clawed otters live at Asia Trail—a mated pair and two litters of offspring.

Outgoing Eurobodalla general manager Paul Anderson has labelled the community "vitriolic" only days after announcing his resignation from the shire's highest paying job.
Mr Anderson announced his resignation on Friday, after accepting a job as Gosford City Council's CEO.
Speaking after the announcement, he said there was a particular nastiness and intolerance expressed by some in the community and that the Eurobodalla was more "vitriolic" than others he had experienced.
During his time, he said both he and council staff had received personal threats.
Mr Anderson acknowledged some of the tension existed due to the pressures of development, which he said were inevitable.
"The trick is to manage that growth and development in an effective manner," he said.
"What you need is the right mix between preserving the Nature Coast and inevitable growth."
Mr Anderson's resignation comes just five months after he signed a contract to remain in his position for another five years.
In June the former council controversially voted to renew Mr Anderson's contract - a decision the Eurobodalla Ratepayers Association lobby group slammed, saying it should have been a decision for September's new council.
Former mayor Fergus Thomson was left to defend the move, claiming the council risked losing Mr Anderson if it didn't offer the new contract.
This week he said there were no hard feelings that Mr Anderson had pulled the plug regardless.
He confirmed that Mr Anderson was able to break the contract if he decided to leave before the five-year term.
"If council wanted to break the contract, they too have clauses to break the contact," he said.
"But, in this case, Paul has chosen to move on. To get to be general manager at Gosford is a big feather in his cap. He made a significant contribution in the time he was here. You can look at it two ways, you can make a substantial effort in five years or you can make no contribution in 20 years.
"We very much wanted Paul to stay."
Mayor Lindsay Brown said the former CEO of Gosford finished in June and the council had been looking for the right general manager.
Gosford is one of four "highly sought after" councils in NSW that "don't come up very often", according to Cr Brown.
"There's disappointment that he's chosen, but we are mindful we are in a very competitive marketplace," he said. "Good general managers don't come along very often and when you do have them, you take them."
Cr Brown stuck by the former council's decision to renew Mr Anderson's contract for another five years.
"We wish to send him the message and send the community the message that we had the best general manager in NSW that suited the Eurobodalla," he said.
"Bearing in mind, when Paul signed the contract, it was with the intention of staying in the Eurobodalla."
Cr Brown also said that decision was about trying to stop other councils coming to talk to Mr Anderson.
"We were trying to stop other councils coming and talking to Paul. If you give your general manager a 12-month contract, there's a chance other councils will see and think, 'this is a fellow that we can come and have a chat with'."
Cr Brown confirmed there would not be a "golden handshake" as when Mr Anderson's predecessor, Jim Levy, left.
"Council resolved for that not to happen again," he said. "We're not involved in any of the ways it's been done in the past."
Cr Brown said the council would decide who to employ as the next general manager.
Only two councillors have experience interviewing and employing a new general manager – Rob Pollock and Fergus Thomson.
Meanwhile, Mr Anderson said he couldn't turn down the opportunity to work at a much larger organisation, going from a council with 400 positions to one with 1200.
To help counter the negativity surrounding council, he also urged people who were happy with council's performance to be more forthcoming in publicly expressing their support.

Study Abroad
Getting Started
With more than thirty locations around the world, Anderson University offers you a wide range of opportunities to live, learn and serve internationally. For short term learning-service programs we offer the Anderson University Tri-S program. For semester or summer study, you will want to consider one of the Anderson University endorsed study abroad programs. Your Anderson University education can have a global perspective and help you to:
- develop a greater understanding of world affairs
- broaden and diversify undergraduate education
- build cross-cultural awareness
- experience unique opportunities for personal growth
- enhance professional and career opportunities
As you begin to think about study abroad, consider the following:
For a successful study abroad experience, you must plan early – at least a year before you plan to go abroad. Early application to some programs is essential for acceptance. Communicating and processing documents always takes longer than expected.
Study abroad programs vary, so you should have clear objectives in mind when selecting a program. Consider these questions:
- Will you want to receive academic credit?
- How will the courses fit into your degree program?
- Are you primarily interested in general studies, or in studies related to your major/minor?
- How fluent are you in another language? Would you like your classes to be taught in English or the language of your host country?
- With which kind of housing are you most comfortable – a host family, student residences or independent housing?
CONSIDER YOUR STUDY OPTIONSAnderson University maintains working relationships with a number of study abroad and USA off-campus study programs. Students are encouraged to give priority consideration to these endorsed programs. AU is also a member of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities, which operates programs both for study abroad and in the U.S.A.
In addition to academic year study programs, you may also want to consider summer study opportunities. Study abroad programs and foreign universities offer specialized summer study, ranging from several weeks to three months.
Academic credit for study abroad is never automatic. All study abroad and arrangements for academic credit must be approved before the student begins the study program.
There are two options available to students regarding academic credit for study abroad and USA off-campus study. First, students can enroll in a study program with registration at Anderson University. Students would receive AU credit (a letter grade) for courses taken in the study program. The second option is to enroll in a study program without registration at AU. Students would then receive transfer credit for courses taken in the study program.
COST AND FINANCIAL AIDPrepare a comprehensive budget. The study program you choose will provide you with information on expenses such as tuition, books, lodging and meals. Be sure to include other costs, such as round-trip air transportation, local transportation, medical insurance, visa fees, vaccination/immunization costs, additional travel costs related to your study program, and personal expenses.
Anderson University financial aid for on-campus study does not automatically transfer to study abroad or USA off-campus study programs. However, a student may be eligible for a grant from Anderson University specifically designated for study abroad or off-campus study. See Financial Aid for Study Abroad for additional information.
Make an appointment to meet with the Director of the Center for International and Intercultural Studies for specific information related to programs and procedures. You will also want to meet with your academic advisor early in the process.

what does it mean under the status description: "local version empty"?
Great App
Most Have
There are a great many GUI wrappers of defaults/pmset/nvram/sysctl and other command line tools, but this is one of the best. It is safe (doesn't do things you don't explicitly tell it to, and it de-authorizes itself on quit, so there isn't a lingering do-anything permission laying about. Recommended over Cocktail, MacPilot, Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner. And, it's totally free!
Used it to clear my system caches because I've having a problem connecting to a specific wireless network. Fixed the problem!
2.1 requires 10.6 Snow Leopard. 2.0.5 is the latest version for 10.5.
Can change screen capture format from png to jpg, pdf, etc.
Using it (previous version) on 10.4 and I tell you, this app rocks! Excellent mainly for laptops (not usually to have it on 24h/7d). Runs the maintenance scripts when you want them to run, make some UNIX features visible (no Terminal needed) but is better to repair permissions with your Disk Utility (not a law).
Unfortunately no more upgrades for Tiger.
This is typical 'bling'. Switchers who have bought RAM Optimizer Pro and stuff on Windws (or even used XP-Antyspy and stuff) will love this, but, I'm not complaining: after all there is added value as some of its functions are sometimes even, if rarely, of real use and you get it for free. Yo. But why does it need an installer, again? If you prefer it less esoteric 'applejack' is the way to go. Also, log files are there for a reason!
OnyX is a great utility for all OS X users to have.
Excellent program. Downloaded this in a desperate last bid to get my mac in shape after frequent spinning beachballs and crashes.
Since installing and running a few scripts/cleanups I haven't had a single problem. Highly recommended!

The word on the street is that Bytex intends largely to re-do clan wars for coming eras. As such, this thread will give information on what changes should be made. Feel free to contribute your ideas.
Changes taken from thread:
1. (make it possible to conquer another clan's city, e.g. by not resetting repair costs)
2. (clans should receive prizes for participation and not just the top-3 clans)
3. (either make it easier to declare — e.g. more deputies — or change declare phases so they are not so annoying for clan leaders)

With general public having unrestrained access to military type weapons, we have created a situation where criminals, the mentally ill and others have guns that are more powerful than our police officers. Even if teachers are armed with hand guns their efforts will be futile in light of assult rifles (or similar type of guns) and body armor. Guns and young children is a deadly mix. Many innocent ones will be at risk. The idea of arming teachers and other school employees is insane.

Dear Friends and Family,
Yes, it is that time of year again.� I�m so happy to send you our annual holiday newsletter and tell you about all the great things our family has done the past twelve months!!
I�m sure your family has done great things, too, but since they are probably not as great as ours, feel free to just send us a regular holiday card with a photo of your kids!� Of course, I�m sure your kids are not as good looking, smart, and talented as our kids, but we would love to get your photocard anyway so we can add it to the mantel with the hundreds of other cards we get each year that make us look extremely popular.

So here is what our humble gang has been up to:
Last summer our son took up surfing and after a few weeks, he got good enough to tackle some big waves.� He managed to catch an 85-foot swell in Portugal, but was disappointed because the world record is 90 feet.� Still, he said it was a pretty gnarly ride and there was an added bonus when he wiped out and inadvertently discovered the lost city of Atlantis.
Our daughter is a little more restrained in her pursuits.� After returning from camp, she completed an Ironman Triathalon before spending a few weeks volunteering to help build Orangutan dwellings in Borneo.
She loved the experience and hopes to return next year after she gets back from�running with the bulls in Pamplona.Meanwhile, back here at home, even my brilliant kids couldn�t stop us from losing power during the recent Nor'easter. Although my husband was forced to work by candlelight, he still managed to finish his tests on a vaccine that will cure feline baldness. Hopefully the lights will stay on when he goes to present his work at the World Cat Healthcare Conference this spring! LOL!!As always, I was happy to stay here and man the homefront while everyone else was out saving the world! �The good news is, without any distractions, I was able to finish creating the world�s first everlasting toilet paper roll.
