The aftermath of the Mackinac Race wreck of the chartered 1D48 WhoDo shows a heck of a lot more damage than just a mangled rudder post; we don't yet know how much of the blown out bow above and the torn off rudder was part of the sinking, damage from the wave action on the bottom, or salvage damage, but it's nasty! SA'er 'blunted', sailing aboard the mighty Melges 30 Peerless, said there were 'things available to hit on the field'. "We passed at last one 4-5′ long log, that was 14″ in diameter. That would have had our rudder akimbo had we hit it at the speed we were going at the time."
All involved in the WhoDo mess would've likely wished she sank in the 200 feet of fresh water she sat in when SA'er 'peacefrog' and the crew of the C&C 30 CityGirl made the rescue; as it was, Whodo later drifted in and settled on one of the few shallow spots on a deep stretch of Michigan coast and came to rest with half her mast in the air. After an airbag lift, she was towed into the Michigan shore and now sits in Harbor Springs.
For a very, very rare look at a fresh catch of sailors straight after a rescue, check Russell Madsen's video from City Girl. Very cool shit and well done to all!
Thanks to SA'er M54Kings for the photo above, with more aftermath shots in the thread here. Here's a link to some local media on the rescue and more.

Clean Report
A YUUUUGE thank you to the more than 300 of you who attended the 9th Winter Anarchy drunk-a-thon at the Bottom Lounge last weekend, and to the dozens of volunteers, sponsors, and of course Morgan Kinney for putting it all together. We're proud of the roughly $7000 you all raised for the Skin Cancer Foundation, and we're even prouder that we found a way to help an important cause a little bit while having a good time with great people and giving away some creative and awesome prizes. We'll have important news for the 10th Anniversary of Winter Anarchy in the next few weeks; whether you're a sponsor or a partygoer, you most definitely will not want to miss it.
There are still a few Special Edition 2016 Winter Anarchy tees left; if you pick one up before Monday, Morgan will throw in a new SA alloy buckle belt with it. All profits go to Skin Cancer Foundation.
Show Off
Key West and Chicago's Strictly Sail show were the industry's 'must attend' winter events for years. The boat show, though, wishes it only contracted by the third that Race Week did over the same period of time. Plagued by America's general move away from boat shows and an expensive show at logistically difficult Navy Pier, Chicago's big event moved last year away from downtown, becoming the tiny third wheel in the ironically named 'Chicago Boat, RV, and Strictly Sail Show' at the huge McCormick Place convention center.
The sailboat industry was, quite literally, a side show, and few vendors had any optimism at all about making any kind of money there. It remains a convenient spot for many industry workers to work out deals and check in with far-flung friends, but with fewer exhibitors than ever, there aren't many out-of-towners coming in anymore.
For locals, it's another story; a great excuse to break up the coldest part of the winter with a few drinks and a peek at the few interesting things there; the full J line up, relatively new dinghies from Melges and RS, and a few bits of hardware and software scattered around. Area Yacht Clubs were looking for members and promoting their races, while a few MCSA university teams showed up to find supporters and recruit sailors. But the show was dominated by the ACWS Chicago booth that was loaded with the baubles and trinkets to suck almost any sailor in. VR goggles with the full AC45 onboard experience loaded in, a one-on-one match race game complete with carbon wheels, and even a long line to take your selfie with the real America's Cup, which somehow managed to look gaudy even against the backdrop of a tiki bar set on a fake beach under a plastic palm tree to the sound of a live Jimmy Buffet impersonator.
Don Wilson's ACWS organizing group included a diverse mix of volunteers doing their best to spread the message, and heavily discounted tickets seemed to be selling at a brisk pace. It's a very different place from Newport, but the pride amongst many local sailors that an America's Cup(ish) event was coming to town reminded me of Rhode Islanders just before the Volvo. Will the windy city turn out 130,000 fans for the ACWS like Newport did for Brad Read's Volvo? Not a chance. But if the weather doesn't make a complete mockery of the silly two-day format again, the event could easily hit her smaller targets and be considered a home run by AC teams, hospitality sponsors, and the City. There's also another reason to go: It could be the last time anything like it sees freshwater. Alternatively, it could be the pioneer event that opened Chicago to inshore racing's upper echelons. It's no secret that Wilson has big aspirations in the sport, and both his passion for racing and his bank balance are both off the charts. That's a potent combination that's brought the billionaire commodities trading genius plenty of success on Melges 24s, Farr 40s, and match racing boats, and last week Wilson helmed his M32 cat to victory in Bermuda against three pro helmsmen. Could we see a Chicago America's Cup team some time in the next decade? Sure. And you can say you knew them way back in 2016.

We opened our Youtube digest this morning and saw this video pop up, and it took our breath away. Not because it's great – though it is – but because it's the sailing media's version of a unicorn: An AC promo that doesn't suck! When we did some digging, we found out why: Rather than the budget-cut shit from the AC media folks that occasionally floats across a Facebook timeline, this one comes from Don Wilson and his CMRC team, and they tapped the talents of the overall 2015 Volvo Ocean Race OBR winner Matt Knighton to produce it.
It's a sign that Chicago won't let the incompetence of the ACEA get in the way of what we predict will be the shining gem in the otherwise snoozy and unfollowed ACWS; the 2016 qualifiers in Chicago. Wilson doesn't fuck around, and neither does his crew – now they just need to pray for a big June wind.
When the ACWS inevitably disappears, we're glad to know that Chicago has seen the sowing of the seeds of its high-performance cat fleet…just don't let Chris drive.

Long before she was the CYC's head of Comms, sailing cheerleader Morgan Kinney was sharing her passion with the Anarchists. She continues with this great story from last weekend's Chicago Yacht Club hosted IFDS Blind Sailing World & International Championship, presented by Wintrust. Here's her report, with gorgeous shots from Zachary James Johnston, with more here.
Fourteen teams from as far as New Zealand came to town for four days of racing in hopes of winning the Squadron Cup for their country and being crowned the new World Champion. Each boat had visually-impaired skippers and main trimmers, and two sighted crew – one tactician and one jib trimmer. Teams were then divided into three classes dependent on the extent of their vision loss, ranging from completely blind (Blind 1) to legally unable to drive (Blind 3).
In true Chicago fashion, the fall weather was completely unpredictable and two days of racing were canceled due to no wind, storms, high winds and higher waves.
After no wind and looming storms canceled racing on Thursday, Friday's course featured 22 knots of wind and six foot waves. Teams raced four to five races in their respective sections while I sat in awe, getting soaked onboard my 12′ photo boat. All I could think was how tough it was to just chase these yachts around the course; in the meantime, they were expertly sailing over, around, and through the huge waves. "It's a lot about the feel of picking the bow up and knowing how to drive to that," explained 2013 Blind Sailing Champion Lucy Hodges (GBR). "Downwind was a huge amount of fun. If you caught the wave just right and come off the top, you were surfing down to the finish."
Dave Allerton (NZL), remarked, "That piece of sea out there is more than just a lake – you could fit the whole country of New Zealand in there." When fellow Kiwi skipper, Russell Lowry heard that Saturday's wind and waves were supposed to be heavier and higher, he declared, "Bring it on, Chicago!"
And that, the Windy City did… Eight foot waves and 30 knots of breeze from the northeast squashed all hopes of another big day of racing.
With only one day left in the competition, the pressure was on the Chicago Yacht Club Race Committee to make up for the two days lost. With calmed seas and a rotating breeze, RC started firing off races one after another until a fourth race was started and promptly abandoned due to a sudden 90 degree wind shift. As boats reached back to the start line, our watches read 1:15 P.M., and we were looking at a 2:00 P.M. cutoff. Race Committee attempted to save the race and run one more, but the wind had died.
Duane Farrar (USA) was crowned the 2015 Blind Sailing World Champion. It wasn't easy for Farrar, though, as Canadian David Brown was giving the American a run for his money. "The Canadians were very competitive, and we started the day in a virtual tie with them. Before we got enough races for a drop, we were just about a point apart," said Farrar. "We smoked the fleet in what turned out to be the last race of the day. We really needed that race to solidify our position."
Despite earning top slot in two out of three classes, the US lost the Squadron Cup to Team GBR. This is the fourth time that Great Britain has won the Cup in 18 years. Hodges, who was on the team the last time they won in Japan, said, "It was a very close running this time around – USA put on a really great performance. It will be great to take this Cup to Houston for the next running of the Cup in 2017."

With Great Lakes ice cover now at 88% – 2% more than even the cold and icy 2013-4 winter – it may seem like the hundreds of thousands of Midwest sailors will never even get soft water. But if the lakes do thaw out before July, there's some damned good long distance racing ahead thanks to the 500-plus boats that will race the two Mackinacs this year.
Chicago Yacht Club cemented their role as one of the forward-thinkers in offshore American sailing yesterday, announcing their amendment of the Chicago Mac rules to award the overall first-to-finish trophy to the first boat instead of the first monohull. That's 65 years of historical mistake they're rectifying, and it's about fucking time. In doing so, they make the countries other big-fleet distance races – The Cruising Club of America's Newport Bermuda Race and the Transpac – look positively mesozoic.
And while The Transpac does give a multihull trophy (first awarded in 1997 to Bruno Peyron in Explorer) the TPYC's most prestigious trophy – the Barn Door – goes not to the first boat to finish, and not even to the first monohull to finish…instead, they give it to the tortured category of 'first non-power assisted yacht to arrive that isn't a multihull.' That makes sense </sarcasm>. But hey – at least the Transpac allows multihulls to enter. The Bermuda Race doesn't even do that.
On the other side of the lake, we've heard (but not yet verified) that Bayview's 'Easy Mac' – the shorter, more sheltered Port Huron-Mac – has opened up its rules as well, allowing smaller, more sporty boats to compete on the 200 NM shore course. Melges 24s at dawn, anyone? More smart thinking from adaptable Midwesterners, and more inclusivity on the water – never a bad thing, and a good explanation of why there are 500+ yachts distance racing over two weekends on the Lakes. Nice work, Detroit and Chicago!
In a final bit of excellent Great Lakes news, the CYC also announced that 2015 would be a Super Mac year – that means the most intrepid teams will race from Chicago to Mackinac and then continue right through the finish line, sailing another 200 miles to the riverine entrance of the Port Huron Yacht Club. We called it 'five hundred miles of freshwater hell' when we ran it aboard Bruce Geffen's Nice Pair the last time the race was held in 2009 – here's a full account of that one.
Where else in the world are you going to get a 500 mile course through water you can drink? Check the CYC website for more info over here.

A coiled-up fireball of enthusiasm and intensity and one of the smartest sailors you'll ever meet, Matt Scharl defies labels; the 43 year old commodities trader and math wiz is also a fitness freak and adventurer – and he looks about 20 years old. Despite his financial acumen, Matt spends much of the months between June and October farming soybeans on his own acreage in the middle of Michigan. The longtime shorthander has either won or broken a record for just about every singlehanded race in the Great Lakes, mostly on his neon-green former ride Gamera, an F-25C Corsair. He's also done well in the double handed Atlantic Cup, winning the last edition in a hard-fought battle and setting up his next big adventure – the Route Du Rhum.
With SA Favorite Mike Hennessey (Dragon) pulling his long-anticipated RdR plug after losing months due to his well-publicized prang of a well-known brick, just two American skippers are left to represent the USA in the world's most famous singlehanded transoceanic race, both in the Class 40. Since one of them sounds French, we'll focus on Matt's attempt at the ultimate singlehanded glory outside the Vendee Globe. He checked in with us a few hours ago from due East of Newfoundland; track Matt right here.
Picture the scene: Lying back on your Fatboy thinking about taking a nap, but it just won't come. Pan out a bit and you realize that you're on the ocean, on a boat with every ounce of weight stacked in the back, beam reaching at 13-18 knots on a Farr designed Kiwi Class 40…it's a Bodacious Dream, no doubt, and the song with the line "How Did I get Here?" comes to mind.
Flash back to Nov, 2012, while Dave Rearick was prepping for the round-the-world Global Ocean Race. I had lunch with Jeff [Urbina, BDX co-founder] one day, mentioning the Route Du Rhum as a possibility once Dave finished his circumnavigation. He thought "Why not? The boat will be there anyway." When the GOR got pushed back a year or two and Dave went off to fulfill his lifelong dream of solo circumnavigating, I figured the Route Du Rhum opportunity was gone for four years, at least. Then I was told that Dave would be finished in time for me to do the Route Du Rhum.
Upon Dave's return, the boat's been gone through with a fine-toothed comb. Parts replaced, fixed, and purchased to get up to snuff for the most competitive race on the calendar. I worked hard to secure sponsorship, getting some personal support and help from friends and family as well as Chicago's excellent Skyway Yacht Works, but was disappointed to find that, other than those mentioned above, none of the many companies I spoke to saw the value in such a sponsorship. To those who did, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I left alone (not counting my monkey mascot) on Monday for my qualifying passage between Rhode Island and France, and it gives me some time to learn the boat better, test sail combinations and in general get a feel for longish time spent alone. Anyone who knows me knows I spend plenty of time alone, but this time it's been a little different – I'm leaving behind someone recently met but very special, thankfully she is very close to me in spirit even if I cannot feel her touch.
It took a few days to get in a rhythm, but I'm starting to feel it, moving well, motivated by making as much speed as possible. Thanks to an overheating generator I am learning to love the whine of the hydro-generator, even if that's had mounting issues too – fortunately, my Macgyvering skills are up to snuff thus far! I generally hate deliveries – hence the trailerable trimaran I owned for years – but this is different. I am not delivering to St. Joe's or Mackinac City – I am delivering to the Queen of solo racing; to crowds of over a million spectators; to the land where tiny frenchmen race 140-foot trimarans across the ocean alone. I am delivering to the Route Du Rhum, and that's just fine. I couldn't really believe it before, but I can now.
A final note: Without the extreme generosity of Gaye and Jeff, there's a whole pile of guys around the world – as far away as Finland and New Zealand – who are able to do some of the greatest adventures and races in the world. None of us – especially me – will be able to ever thank you enough. We'll try, but it will still never be enough. So thank you.
I'll be speaking to Mr. Clean later in the week via Satphone for a Sailing Anarchy Innerview, so feel free to post in the Route Du Rhum thread or hit my Facebook Page if you have anything you'd like me to address.

Monday sucks. And Tuesday is only slightly less sucky. These videos might be the cure. Today weve got high performance boats, low performance boats, crashes, flooking around, and kids – lots and lots of kids. Welcome to Video Anarchy.
Mac Art
A little production value can do wonders to transform some basic GoPro video into something quite beautiful, as the boys and girls from Froeter Design showcase in this video of the Chicago Mackinac aboard the Beneteau Chief.
Check Yourself
You've seen the scores of young Anarchists (and these kids have been SA junkies since about kindergarden) Ian and Nicolas representin' enroute to their US Youth Nationals. Here's the movie. Turn down the music unless you're nostalgic for your dentists' soundtrack…and here's an audio interview with the nippers.
Swedish Bikini Team
The 'new age' of video storytelling has slowly crept into the top end of sailing, with producers (and those who pay them) finally understanding what we've been screaming about for years: You have to put the audience right there in the trenches with the subject or you're just wasting your time. We've seen plenty of nasty pictures come out of the Brazil test event, but for many Olympic hopefuls – those without the runs, at least – it was an amazing adventure in one of the world's most exciting countries. Above is a look at the beauty and skill of the Swedish team, and no dirty water. Thanks to Swedish mothy Magnus Gravare for the heads up.
Joie De Vivre
Another essential aspect of video storytelling is about charisma; the camera loves those who have it. Example? This excellent Team GBR/Volvo Cars-sponsored Rio Test video from our old friends Richard Langdon nd Rachel Jesperson, focusing on always-smiling and ultra-charismatic silver medallist Luke Patience. Also starring in this one are his excellent Aberdeen accent and a couple of Nacra 17 sailors. Have a look at two more charismatic intros from the same team over here.

As the second Mac gets set to begin tomorrow, Our old pal Petey Crawford jammed together a video from the light air/downwind start of the earlier race, Bayview's Port Huron-Mackinac. Bora Gulari returned from Sardinia for a couple weeks to give Phil and Sharon O'Niel's TP52 Natalie J her fourth straight overall (Cove Island Course) BYC-Mack win, and we've got an interview coming up with the rock star soon…for now, enjoy the stylings from Penalty Box.
UPDATE: Tim Lewin asked us to point out that, while Natalie J won four straight Cove Island overalls that she sailed, she actually didn't go macking in 2013 because she was on the Transpac. Last year, Sledgehammer, a J/120 won the Overall for Cove Island.

After a five-year hiatus from covering the Midwest's second-biggest freshwater distance race, we're heading up to Port Huron, Michigan for the start of the Bayview Mackinac Race tomorrow. With Luna Rossa Challenge's Bora Gulari aboard the TP52 Natalie J, Annapolite-turned ocean racer Ryan Breymaier joining the F-31 Cheekee and a pile of fun boats including the old VO70 Il Mostro, there will be plenty to see, and you'll be able to watch all the action via Sailing Anarchy's Facebook Page starting around 10 AM EDT tomorrow.
Years of live coverage of the Chicago Mackinac and the 4 hours we'll be spending on the water tomorrow have reminded us of conversations we've had over the years about the start of the Mack races, and a basic question we still don't know the answer to: What is the purpose of starting each section separately, with the slow boats first? Sure, we understand that the slow boats will get there a bit sooner compared to the fast boats, but that seems like a silly reason for expending all the extra resources to involved in banging off 15 starts rather than a single one. Think about it; that's 15 starts at 10 minutes each, or nearly three hours of starting. The format guarantees a weaker experience for spectators (who rarely want to sit around watching 6-10 boats sail off a line every ten minutes), a tougher day for the Race Committee, a long, long wait for the racers on the water, and perhaps most importantly, a poor spectacle for the TV, print, and online media so important to getting new interest and keeping sponsors happy.
Think about the incredible action at a Sydney-Hobart start, with simultaneous guns over just three lines and course boundaries for spectators for a mile or so up the course to guarantee tacking or gybing in close proximity to the fans; contrast this with the Macks, where the Coast Guard sets a cordon to keep powerboats half a mile from the starting lines…not that there is much to see anyway. Nearly no boats chase the Mack fleet…because it's already so diluted at each start that there's not much to chase.
Our suggestion for the BYC and Chicago Macks: Four simultaneous starts: One for racing fleets, one for cruising fleets, one for multihull fleets, and one for shorthanded fleets. Win, win.

Politics in the Past – Barry Goldwater
My very first election was the 1964 Presidential election between Barry Goldwater and Lyndon Johnson. That's over 50 years ago. My favorite for president at that time was the Republican, Barry Goldwater. I have never read anything then or since that has changed my mind about the Senator from Arizona. My respect for the man… Read More »

Heroes and "Arranged" Marriages: Today's Front Pages
It's the Friday before a big holiday weekend. You're slogging through the workday, and you just want to get things done. You're going to put things through with the minimum amount of effort. That's what I think is happening with today's front pages of the tabloids. Both concentrate on one story (OK, so the Daily News puts a small strip on Willie Randolph on the bottom) and keep it simple.
The News is imploring its readers to "HELP FIND MY HERO!" with a snapshot of a shirtless, tattooed surfer who came to the rescue of boater Brian Jordan when he almost drowned off Coney Island Saturday. Jordan tried to reign in his speedboat after it came untied from the pier. As he tells the Daily News, "I wasn't wearing a life vest and I jumped in the water fully clothed." The mystery man pulled him from the water. Another stranger who helped Jordan snapped the picture of the unnamed hero. The News put him on the front page. Apparently Jordan wants to treat his benefactor to a big lobster dinner at his family's Sheepshead Bay seafood restaurant. What I want to know is, how would you feel if you walked down the street and saw your mug plastered on the front page of the paper because of your random, anonymous act of kindness? Would you be irked or ecstatic? I'm not sure myself, but the cranky part of me is leaning toward "irked."
Meanwhile, the Post provides us with one of their fabulous photo composites on page one. We get Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as the toppers on a wedding cake with the awkward pun, "MAN AND VICE." The peg of the story is the increasing call in the Democratic party for Obama to make Clinton his veep, as it would unite the party and help him win states like Kentucky and West Virginia. Inside, the paper concentrates on a war of words between John McCain and Barack Obama about a GI benefits bill. The headline "Off on the wrong foot" refers to a photo of Hillary Clinton in which she's wearing two different shoes at the same time. While this may hint at her absent-mindedness, a rep for the senator notes she sprained her ankle and is wearing a brace.
These are just some things to ponder while you slog through this last workday before the unofficial start of summer.

Hi Roney!
Im gonna buy my new laptop that ill be using for 3d design and games, i want a laptop cus' ill be studing out of my country and i need something kind of portable... i know you dont talk about laptops but i hope you can help me... i wanna know which one of these three models ist the best...
Asus G53jw, MSI GX660r or the Sager NP8130
i hope you can help me to choose, thanks and have a nice day!!!
I would personally go with the sager 8150 laptop. You can upgrade the gpu in it to a gtx 485m which is the fastest gpu right now unless you do sli. Also the sager 8150 has the new intel chip in it the 2nd generation i7 sandy bridge. Finally it is lighter then the Asus G53jw and the MSI GX660R
I would go with the ASUS notebook. I have heard very positive reviews of all their ROG series notebooks.
if u know some store on houston to buy it tell me please ive alreade seen that model and i think its great but... i just have 1450 USD.. :S
Your best bet to buy any of them is online
Yea, those Asus gaming notebooks are sweet and I'd get one if I were looking for a gaming laptop.

The Starting Gun? 0 commentsNov 26, 2013 10:45 AM | about stocks: APEOF
As I suspected a few months ago, Americas Petrogas (NYSE:BOE) was severely undervalued. Even today, with prices in the Vaca Muerta area anywhere from $7,500 to $10,000 per acre, BOE and others, like Madelena Ventures (MVN), are still not recognized for their core value, namely their acreages.
In the last 24 hours, it seems a deal between Repsol and Argentina has been sent to the Repsol board and the Reuters article below hints at board acceptance.
Given the activity in Neuquén to build towns to house oil workers, and with the YPF impediment out of the way, or nearly so, it seems the lid can come off in terms of attracting the investment the area needs.
It is ironic this is happening with Axel Kicillof becoming the "economy minister" in Argentina, as he was instrumental in the YPF nationalization last year. Maybe both he and CFDK have seen the light of day. She is no longer wearing all black in honor of her deceased husband. A change of tune in Argentina?

Donation links on Curse.com
As just about everyone knows, recently Blizzard released a new policy that covers standards addon developers must adhere to in order to ensure their addons will not be blocked from running in the game. Part of this policy said that you cannot solicit donations from within the game as it is considered to be a form of advertising.
Yesterday, we pushed an update to Curse.com that displays donation info on the addon details page and download pages to support authors who have spent their free time enriching the gaming experience for everyone.
For Users
Not everyone is able to donate, and even if you can doesn't mean you have to by any means. However, for those of you who can afford and are inclined to donate I'd recommend asking yourself a simple question:
When you setup a new copy of WoW or clear all your addons. What addons must you have before you're willing to play?
Those are the addons I'd personally consider donating to.
For Authors
To setup donation info just follow the steps below.
- Go to your project's page on CurseForge or WowAce
- From the actions select "Edit donation info"
- Complete the form and hit the "Edit donation info" button
From all of us at Curse.com, I'd like to thank all the addon authors out there who spend so much time developing addons that makes all of our gaming experiances that much better.
Happy Coding!

Re: USB friedDoreenpv Jul 4, 2011 11:12 AM (in response to rajjer)
Wow this is a first for me. I have never read on here or else where of this occuring. Call CS and see what they have to say. Not sure who is responsibile for your lappy. But part of owning the NC, one usually owns a lappy to perform certain functions.
I know I would be livid if it happened to me.

I doubt it!
Cover up, come on...be serious!
It sounds like your laptop does not have 'too much current' protection, meaning that your laptop doesn't shut off devices that try to draw too much power. The NC, if the battery is low, can TRY to draw up to 4 times the amount of power that a laptop USB port can provide. Most laptops have circuits in them that prevent problems like yours if something trys to draw too much power.
Re: USB frieddeemure Jul 6, 2011 9:09 PM (in response to donc13)Well, I wonder if there may have been some static build up or something. This happened to me sort of with an iphone and a desktop pc. Plugged it into the usb and there was a slight static arc. Didn't fry the usb, but did fry my ethernet for some reason. Eventually, the usb started to have problems.
Re: USB friedMark_OB1 Jul 7, 2011 9:05 AM (in response to deemure)
This will probably seem strange to most people, but if you look in the manual for your laptop or desktop PC, it will probably say to turn the computer OFF before plugging in or unplugging your peripheral devices, including USB ports.
The fact is that most of the time, this is unnecessary, and you can plug and play all day long with no ill effects. And most people do so, and ignore the warning advice with impunity. (Assuming they ever bothered to read the warnings in the first place. Which most do not.)
But it's also possible that due to the angle of insertion or other factors, you can create 'bad situations' with the power circuits... either shorting something to ground, or pushing voltage somewhere it doesn't belong. When this happens, sometimes the protective ciruitry built into the PC or other device will save you. And sometimes, it won't.
In that final, unpleasant situation, that's when the PC vendor will ask, "Did you turn off the power first, before plugging in, as directed?"
In this case, my question would be if you plugged your USB cable into the PC first, or the Nook first? If the former, I can easily see this happening, since the NC microUSB is an extremely poor design.

Re: USB friedrajjer Jul 8, 2011 7:24 AM (in response to rajjer)
Thanks all for the help. It was an older Dell laptop. Also, I did plug the usb in first then the nook. The ports are still fried and wont work with anything. Kid at Christmas. Yes-sir re-bob! But what kills me is that B&N tech support won't even answer my email. Not so Noble after all are they?
Re: USB frieddeemure Jul 8, 2011 7:43 AM (in response to rajjer)
Emailing BN is pointless. If they answer, it will be to tell you to call. No use fuming about that, they just are not set up to help that way. If needing CS, call and be sensible about it. As with any company, try off-peak times, be prepared to wait, and when connected, ask if you are connected to US customer service. If they are in the Phillippines, they pretty much only have standard answers with no variance. They probably answer calls for many companies. It is possible to get tech support in the US by asking, specifically.
But, no they will not fix your laptop. Of this, I am certain. There are warnings and waivers all over the place that use of any device is the owner's responsibility. As well, there are possibilities that your older Dell laptop just coincidentally decided to break at that very moment. Unlikely, but there's no way they would know for sure when and how the damage occurred.

Every Language has its own set of Rules called Syntax, Eg if In sentences "Comma" or "Full Stop" when not positioned properly or using improper grammar will change the whole meaning of the Sentence, Similarly if any typing error in the way the code has to be written is Syntax error. Logical error is human error . To master any language first and foremost you have to understand the Syntax properly.

Business community joins forces to prepare for disaster, emergencies
With the threat of a hard winter looming and the perpetual possibility of a severe earthquake shaking the region, several Island businesses have banded together and are making strides in preparing for emergencies and possible disaster.
In recent years, many Islanders have taken steps to become prepared, but until this fall, those efforts focused mostly on homes and neighborhoods. Now, at the urging of Debi Richards of the Chamber of Commerce, Vashon's preparedness groups and other volunteers, emergency preparedness is taking root in the heart of town and beyond as business owners take a hard look at what they need to do.
Richards, the chamber's executive director, has been the driving force behind the efforts. Her awareness of Vashon's vulnerability was raised last year, she said, when she attended a groundwater tour on the Island, followed by meetings with VashonBePrepared, and began to realize the implications of a disaster on the Island.
"No one is coming to help us, and we are on our own," she said.
Given her position with the chamber, her thoughts turned to Island businesses and what they might face in an emergency or worse.
"I thought someone needs to lead the charge to get businesses organized," she said.
In October, she called a disaster preparedness meeting for businesses, which several Island preparedness officials and volunteers led, including Fire Chief Hank Lipe, Rick Wallace, vice president of VashonBePrepared, and Joe Ulatoski, considered the grandfather of Island preparedness.
The meeting was well attended. "I was amazed at the level of interest on the part of businesses," Richards said. "They understood the message and wanted to take action."
Borrowing from VashonBePrepared's Neighborhood Emergency Response Organizations, or NEROs — groups of neighbors organized to check on one another in a disaster and report to officials — Richards divided Vashon into eight business communities based on their location, with the intent that businesses in those groups will get prepared and organized and plan to check on one another and report to officials if a disaster strikes.
Of the eight neighborhoods, three have made considerable progress, Richards said.
Each business that attended the fall chamber meeting received a disaster preparedness packet tailored to business needs, and the three active groups are working on several of the to-do items, including completing forms that list contact information for the business owner, skills people have that might be useful in an emergency, contact information for all employees and the location of shut-off valves and safety items. The information will be posted in each business.
Each business will also be responsible for checking on two designated businesses nearby. In a disaster, one leader from each group will report in with neighborhood damages and injuries, streamlining the influx of calls to disaster officials.
"They will not have 100 phone calls," Richards said. "They will have eight."
Businesses are also encouraged to create a full plan for disaster, including determining critical operations, establishing plans for communication after a disaster and maintaining a backup of electronic records.
One of Vashon's leaders in business preparedness is Sawbones Worldwide. According to Human Resources Manager Tom Beall, the company has taken preparation issues seriously for at least a decade and is participating in this new effort as well. Currently, 140 employees work there, and the company has enough food and water for every employee for three days, as well as a considerable supply of other emergency supplies, including blankets, first-aid kits, camping stoves and flashlights. Two of their three buildings have a generator, and Beall hopes to have a third generator online within three months — so that in the event of a prolonged power outage, each building could function 24 hours a day, the company could continue to meet its obligations and staff could continue to earn their paychecks and have a safe, warm place to stay if they wished.
Beall, who is serving as the neighborhood captain for businesses on S.W. 188th Street, which includes the tofu maker Island Spring, the Sheffield Building, the Open Space for Arts & Community and the Beauty Nook, noted that representatives from those businesses have been meeting this fall and winter and are making some progress.
"I'm really happy to see this being done," he said. "It's easy to sit down and say this is going to happen. It's so much better when it's actually being done."
In town, Jan Lyell of Barber and Beauty Shoppe has stepped forward to coordinate efforts in her neighborhood, which extends from S.W. 174th Street northward.
"I think it is important that the businesses get together and plan," she said. "It is not a matter of if, but when."
Lyell, who works by herself, said she is heartened to know that in a disaster someone from Edward Jones and Fair Isle Animal Clinic would check on her.
The neighborhood businesses have more work to do, but Lyell noted they have made progress already, and even if disaster would strike today, they are better prepared than they were just months ago.
Across town in the 100th Ave. neighborhood, Karol Lake of Lake, Kennedy, McCullough CPAs has also stepped up and begun contacting business people, most of whom have been receptive, she said.
She was inspired to act after watching a presentation by Wallace at the chamber disaster meeting. A vibrant graphic from the U.S. Geological Survey showed that a quake in the Cascadia subduction zone or the newly studied Tacoma fault could carry severe repercussions for Vashon; nearly the entire Island was colored red to indicate severe shaking.
"It was like a bull's eye on Vashon," she said. "It is right under our feet, and no one is going to come. … It got my attention."
Wallace, well versed in the possibilities of disaster and its likely effects in this region, said there could be a considerable economic impact if Vashon experienced a disaster. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, he said, 40 percent of businesses fail after a disaster and do not come back.
"These businesses are the beating heart of the Island," Wallace said.
He also noted that some do not believe there will be a large earthquake any time soon. But everyone believes that there will be hard winters here in the next few years, he said, and preparations for those events help with larger ones.
"If you prepare for a tough winter, you're a lot of the way prepared for a tough earthquake," he said.
At Vashon Island Fire & Rescue, Chief Lipe said he's pleased the business community is taking action and noted he and others in the preparedness community will assist in whatever ways they can to continue the process.
"I am very excited — exuberant, I suppose — that the business community has embraced this planning effort," he said. "It's people that make the difference. That's what is so special here. The people are making the difference."

... Rusk to Palestine. It was started in 1881 and built by the inmates at the Rusk Penitentiary.
The Rusk Penitentiary is now the State Hospital. Anyway, the train runs on Friday and Saturday from Rusk to Palestine and back. We left here at 11, arriving at the Palestine Depot at 12:30 then left there at 2 and arrived back here at 3:30. About the only thing I have to say is, Don't expect much. The train ride is OK. But there is nothing on the website to tell you ...
Change # 45
... get a few holes in.
We have a very nice site here. It's shady. We have a concrete patio with a picnic table. The only negative is we can't put out the main awning, but then since it's shady, we don't really need the awning. Haven't tried the pool yet, but we definitely will several times before we leave here. And talk about small world, the manager here was stationed with 54th Eng in Wildflecken, Germany. ...
Old things
... the town itself is almost as old as the USA, guess we couldn't have the original buildings.
After walking around for a bit, we got back in the car and drove around looking at different
buildings. By then it was time to head back "home" and get ready for dinner.
After dinner we took a trip to DQ for some ice cream because we didn't go yesterday when we said we would.
Tomorrow we pack up and head for Rusk, TX and a few days of ...
Visiting with friends
... their hours on the doors are Mon-Sat 10-5. So we just looked around outside. Nothing else was open. After looking around the museum we drove over to Sam's and had a hot dog then to Walmart for a few things.
Now we're back home and watching TV and relaxing. Tomorrow the guy who is repairing the windshield is supposed to be here about 9 am. After he is finished, we will be visiting some of the sites here in Nacogdoches.
... I told Bob to stay on 59 because I did not realize that we were at the split. Well since we were headed for Nacogdoches, I called a fellow Renegade who lives and works there to see if he could recommend someone to fix the windshield. He did so we called him and went by his business. He said he could fix it, but not until Monday. We went in search of an RV park and ended up here. The other two we saw were, um.....NO!! So we will stay here ...

The MA Source™ feature lets you automatically populate your equipment or parts database by using related information directly from leading MRO parts databases. When creating a new part, you can use the search feature to locate the part in the MRO database. When you locate the part you need, simply click copy to CMMS and your part record is automatically populated with the parts data.
MA Source™ also lets users quickly search and procure indirect inventory spares from the worlds leading iMRO parts distributors, directly inside the CMMS. And when you find the part you need, you can sync the information back to your CMMS so you'll know what to order in the future. The new parts procurement feature helps you achieve those savings gains without having to invest ridiculous amounts of time and money in bloated and expensive ERP systems.
Amazon added to MA Source
Amazon has recently been added to the MRO list of suppliers in MA Source™. This means you can search through Amazon's list of industrial equipment, tools and spares right from inside your CMMS. To access Amazon's mro database, simply type the name of the part you need in the MA Source™ toolbar at the top of the CMMS. You can then click the Amazon tab to access the Amazon database. MA Source™ presents all the information available for that part directly inside your CMMS
Compare – Delivery, Price and Convenience
With the addition of Amazon to MA Source™, it is now possible to compare products across multiple vendors inside your MA CMMS application. Our goal is to make MA Source a valuable tool to help our customers select the right parts and supplies at the right price, saving you time in a clear and unbiased way. We plan on bringing a wide range of MRO suppliers in one place so you don't have to search multiple websites to find the right product. The more the service is used, the more mro vendors we will bring online. And we won't charge you a penny for using our MA Source™ service – it's completely free. Test it out for yourself. When viewing parts, click compare items to compare prices across multiple vendors.
Have Your Say!
At Maintenance Assistant, we love listening to our customers. Our valued customers can suggest new features or feature improvements in the feature request forum directly in the CMMS. Now, we're also giving MA CMMS customers the opportunity to suggest their preferred suppliers directly in the MA Source™ section of the CMMS. Simply click the + tab to suggest your preferred vendor. The biggest compliment your could give us is to recommend MA Source™ personally – next time your chatting to your MRO vendor contact, suggest they get listed in MA Source™ today!

Travelers Checks
Tuesday, March 13, 2007 at 22:02
I was trying to decide on the type of cash to have on hand when I visit Panama. Are travelers checks widely used in Panama? Or, do they prefer cash and credit cards?

You best bet is some cash... always take some small bills... I couldn't buy a $5 tourist card at the airport with a $20 and you need that to enter!
A credit card is good for hotels and some restaurants and a ATM card is good for getting cash when you need it.
Panama uses US dollars so there no exchange issues.

Yes, cash is the way to go and small bills. It seems that people really don't have change. So you should probably bring bills from $10.00 and less. Also, include your debit card because Panama has lots of ATM machines.
Wednesday, March 14, 2007 at 11:57
You will probably have to cash the travelers checks at a bank as some businesses don`t like to accept them (takes up to 21 days in Panama to clear a travelers check). Travelers checks are the safest money document to travel with, but be prepared to stand in line and at some small banks.

Yes, it's important to have cash with change. The last trip that I went on I had problems getting change because I just had big bills. I really regret not leaving a tip for this one guy.

By doing so, you can really cut down on transportation costs and time. You may also want to book a hotel that offers free wifi just in case you need to get some work done.
If you are traveling for vacation, figure out which attractions or landmarks you want to see and book a hotel that is within close proximity. Although hotels near attractions might cost a little more, you may find that spending those extra few dollars is worth the convenience. You can even find hotels that align with your interests. For example, if you are looking for a relaxing vacation, a spa hotel may be the perfect choice for you.
You'll also want to determine which type of accommodations will suit your needs before booking a hotel in Ellmau. If you're traveling with the kiddos, a family friendly hotel will offer larger rooms and more sleeping arrangements.
