[quote user="Shockeyitus"][quote user="lawl"]Zero interest in hightower.[/quote]
zero interest? If you can follow up with more details as to why, that would be great.[/quote]Bama ran a 34 D, Hightower will go to a 34 team IMO. Might be able to play in a 4-3, but I think he's a better fit in a 34. Had a pretty serious knee injury back in "09" as well, so I'd be concerned. As far as talent though, it's all there for Hightower.

OTHER RANKS – LEST WE FORGET - Monday, 5 November 2012
The power of sound is the focal point in capturing the heroism and sacrifice of those serving under the British flag, in a new exhibition at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.
Marking the museum's month of Remembrance, Other Ranks is the work of renowned sound artist Amie Slavin, who is blind.
The multi-sensory, sound-based installation aims to portray Army life to those on Civvy Street, in a vibrant and unique way.
Amie said, "If a picture can paint a thousand words, then a sound can trigger a million mental images. My aim, in producing sound-centred work, is to stimulate an absorption in and appreciation of the many and various ways in which sound can be used to represent and illuminate ideas, issues and voices. I hope to make my audience laugh, cry and think, through their ears – so to speak."
Amie has been working on the Other Ranks project for the past four years. She captures the relentless pounding of marching soldiers' boots to form a poignant backdrop to the installation.
Using 16 wall-mounted speakers and four subwoofers, Other Ranks broadcasts the sounds of soldiery; marching, drill exercises, handling weapons, tackling an assault course and training in urban warfare. All the while, the sound of an endless parade of marching feet is intended to turn museum visitors' thoughts to the people who wore those Army boots – each the hero of their own story.
On the floor, small lanterns draw people's eyes down as they listen. Underfoot, hundreds of photos, uploaded to the project by members of the public, carpet the floor, representing both the human cost of warfare and its destructiveness.
Amie added, "Other Ranks owes its existence to many contributors and friends and I am grateful to Royal Armouries, and to the British Army, for helping to make this project a reality.
"A project of this scale and scope requires a lot of research and preparation. The bulk of the work has been spent in pursuing every sound, every voice, and every piece of proffered advice or wisdom and by seizing ruthlessly on anyone not quick enough to stay out of reach!
"I've been on four different Army camps and visited a TA veterans' group. I've recorded in the street, in fields, backrooms and a mocked-up Afghan war zone.
"Some guys will talk about almost anything and are eager to do so. Others are wary of speaking out of turn or of causing me distress with what they say. For example, I spent some considerable time and effort attempting to persuade someone to give me a good old-fashioned Army dressing-down. Two chaps very kindly had a crack at it for me but one eventually admitted it was just impossibly difficult to stand in front of a female civilian – my gender was more inhibiting than my disability, apparently – and deliver a proper telling-off. Both spoke to me in gently firm and moderate language instead."
Other Ranks forms part of the Royal Armouries' Inspired by …….project. It is set to run until the end of March.

Hair transplantation is the most common cosmetic surgery procedure requested by male patients. The commonest cause of baldness is genetic. Depending upon the severity, male baldness is classified into 7 grades. Hair falls from the front and the centre of the head, but even in the cases of extreme baldness, hair loss does not occur from the back and sides of the head, as these hairs are permanent and are not influenced by the gene that causes baldness. Hairs are taken from the sides and back of the head and hair transplant or grafting is done to the bald area by Follicular Unit Transplant Technique(FUT) and single hair grafts.
Hairs in the scalp are arranged in Follicular Units, and each unit has 1 or 2 hairs, sometimes 3 and very rarely 4 hairs. In the Follicular Unit Transplant Technique(FUT), hair follicles in these units or grafts of 1, 2, 3 or 4 hairs are transplanted in the bald areas. The harvest from the donor area can be by the 'Strip technique' or by Follicular Unit Extraction technique ( FUE ). The 'Strip technique' is used by 90% surgeons all over the world and is the most common and effective method for harvesting large number of grafts, esp. for a big area of baldness. FUE can harvest limited number of hair follicles and is used for cases with smaller areas of hair loss. Moreover, FUE is a blind technique and causes damage and loss to 10 to 30% permanent hair follicles, and this is an irreplacable loss to the patient, who already is deficient in hairs and cannot afford to lose any permanent hairs. Dr. Manoj Khanna does "Trichophytic closure" in all cases using a special personalised technique, which makes the scar in the donor area difficult to visualise a few months after the procedure. Scarring is much more in FUE where multiple dot scars like a Chinese checker-board are visible when you shave the head. For FUE surgery, you have to shave the entire head which makes it is apparent that something has been done for 2-3 months, unlike in FUT where nobody can make out anything even immediately after the procedure. Dr. Khanna has designed a special instrument called the "Kolkata Slit" which is being patented and is very useful for Hair Transplantation. Dr. Manoj Khanna does both Strip technique or FUT, and Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE, depending on the choice of the patient and the requirement and need of the case.
The transplanted hair are permanent, grow like normal hair and need haircuts later. The transplanted hair never fall and grow continuously at a rate of 1-2 cm per month like other hair. Shampoo and oil can be applied & they can be combed to the style of your choice. The entire procedure is done under local anesthesia while the patient is fully awake. There is a cable TV set up in the Operation Theatre, and the patient watches television or listens to music whilst the Hair transplant surgery is being done. 4 to 6 people work at the same time, and it takes 3 to 6 hours for a sitting of hair transplantation to be complete. The patient goes home immediately after the operation. One or more sittings may be required, depending on the severity and extent of baldness. Usually, a maximum of upto 6000 to 7500 Follicles can be transplanted in one sitting by the 'Strip Technique' which makes it most cost effective. This is in sharp contrast to the FUE technique, where not more than 1500 to 2000 grafts can be transplanted in one sitting by the best of surgeons anywhere in the world. If required, the next sitting can be done after 6 months. Anyone can do 4 to 5 sittings at the gap of 6 months each to cover a big area of baldness.

Anthony Wedo, CEO of Buffets Inc., goes undercover at Ryan's restaurant in Lake Charles. (Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Friday, October 18, 2013 2:25 PM
By Warren Arceneaux / American Press
Buffets Inc. CEO Anthony Wedo spent time working at the local Ryan's restaurant, which his company owns, for an episode of the "Undercover Boss" television series that will air at 7 p.m. today on CBS.
Restaurant manager Ernest Williams is also in the show.
"As a new CEO, I want to learn what the truth is. I think that is a powerful thing that the show does for you," said Wedo, who had been in is post six months when filming began in the summer.
"I don't go into the stores as the CEO; I go as Mike Davis. That gives you a much different reception. People are much more willing to open up to you — tell you what the real truth is."
In Lake Charles, Wedo, posing as an unemployed construction worker, worked as a floor manager and dishwasher, and at other locations he was server and cashier. He said he learned a lot about each job, including how outdated the cash register system is. Wedo said he plans to spend $3 million to upgrade it.
"But the big learning for me were the personal stories behind our employees — the things they have to deal with in their lives outside of work," he said.
"What I want to do now is continue taking care of the families that take care of us — our employees and their families. We are continuing to work on identifying and helping those families that are in need."
He said he was awed and humbled by the dedication of the employees he met and that he continues "to follow up with how things are going with them." A few company employees will receive prizes on the show.
Wedo said the biggest benefit of going undercover was learning what the company's needs are.
"As the new guy coming in, trying to reinvent our brand, the thing I need is honest information to understand what to do," he said. "I am really happy I did it. I am able to understand exactly where we are in our businesses and how to fix them."

I understand the reason for anthony wedo's departure in June of 2015 was because of embezzlement is this true?

Title: Ryan's Buffet
When you have a place like Pitt Grill or Golden Corral, why would you go to Ryan's. I have not eaten at Ryan's in Lake Charles in about 15 years. "NOT WORTH IT" Don't waster your time an money.

Title: Ryan's Horn-Lake, MS.
I ate at the Horn-Lake Ryan's last summer in June. It was the worst food I ever tried to eat, and the place smelled like a garbage can, my wife and I got up and left before we got sick, I contacted them about a refund, and the finally sent me one refund, not two, that I paid for. I have contacted them a few times but will not refund the money for my meal.
I guess this Anthony Wedo, is not telling the truth, he will not make it right...lies lies
Posted By: Sylvia A. Cook On: 7/31/2014
Title: Hope the fix is right
We use to have the family meet at Ryans's in Beckley, WV on occasions, Loved the food, and everything that was right for the family gathering, But the last two times we went, we all got sick, and before we could leave the rest. we all took to the bathroom, and that wasen't pretty, had to get there fast, and then the mess that was in the restrooms, oh, my God (after reporting) in the bathroom would make you sicker, so we decided never go there again,, I sure hope you will clean up that mess there, something is wrong when you get sick before you finish a meal. And a clean up crew needs to keep the batherooms clean at least at meal times. Just saying. Would like to be able to enjoy the time there again.

Title: U think that was bad
Ryan's Horn lake,MS is 500 times worst!!!!
Posted By: MB On: 1/27/2014
Title: Unbelievable
I've never been to Ryan's before, but saw it featured on "Undercover Boss". I have to wonder how this man is a CEO? There was just something about him that seems off.
I understand he was frustrated with the attitude of one particular worker, but his own attitude left much to be desired. Maybe the young man was having a bad day and he also sensed that Wedo had some issues with him, so he was rude in return. Sometimes people need to realize that even if you are a CEO of some company, that doesn't make it OK for you to be condescending and push others around. I'm not excusing the worker's attitude at all, but I could tell that Wedo was on a power trip despite the fact that he was supposed to be "undercover".
I also didn't like the way he spoke to Ernest Williams. Williams is clearly overwhelmed by his own responsibilities and is doing the best he can. He is not some young kid...he is probably older than Wedo, yet Wedo was talking to him like you would talk to an undisciplined child. Look, I understand his frustration and his desire to have the restaurant uphold certain standards. But it's not some upscale place. And if you show attitude to others, expect them to respond in a similar manner. He was complaining about the guy's attitude but he was also very rude to the workers who were attempting to "train" him, in addition to doing their own tasks.

Title: employee un equality
i just saw the show of undercover boss with the CEO of RYAN restaurants. it was unfair how he gave the gifts at the end of the show. he gave a African american male that showed him how to cook a great steak with love and professionalism, $10,000 for a used car. a hispanic girl that trained him how to use a cash register with a smile , was given $15,000 for a 4 year college. not even a public school will cover the tuition with that sum of money. here comes the funny part. he gave a white women that showed him less professionalism than the other 2 employees , a house and paid of her car.
did race played an issue? it was a slap in the face for the hispanic girl and the african american male. i would have quit and work for burger king instead.
Posted By: David Moss On: 1/24/2014
Title: The real CEO G Wedo
This CEO was a former "Mitt Romney" equity manager??? Look at his resume, I would believe nothing he says.
Anyone making money on putting people in debt is a loan shark and not to be trusted.
Anyone also making money on a hog trough buffet to make obese Americans more obese is a criminal. Obesity along with the non organic foods they promote is toxic and the number one cause for huge heath care cost.
Posted By: Debra Wawarofsky On: 1/21/2014
Title: Wow love the food. BUT
I only have one fabulous buffet close - Conroe TX the food is fabulous and the wait staff awesome - when I found out that theses wonderful folks who have been Ryan's for years may have manditory Christmas - I was sick - what a way to tear loyality - volunteers were used this year for Christmas and I feel should always be the case --give them some family time!! Ugh sad sad sad

He should have come to Ryans here in town.......I wonder if he would have cleaned that nasty kitchen up? Fixed the A/C? Yeah I know AP, you're not gonna' print this. But you should, maybe the kitchen might get cleaned.


text: I looked over the new Diablo Sport website and like the changes. I went to the forums to look up how to setup the AFM on the intune and got lost. I also guess there are other parameters that I would like to record to. Like MPG's. The computer in my truck is pre - MPG's recording and I assume there is some way to calculate this with the data from the Intune? There are android and iphone apps that will record MPG on my truck. What are some other popular things to record and where is a forum on how to setup the Intune to record them?

text: Because I had the great good fortune to have a brilliant stunt double, he was called Michael Byrne, who did all the really serious work. I had to learn the moves, so that they could cut away and the close-ups looked convincing and so on, but all the skill really was Michael�s and not mine. And indeed in that fight Sam Jackson, who was also very good and worked very hard, and was very, very patient with me. The day we did that fight I also had to do the scene at the opera so it was a very, very busy day.And it�s all extraordinary when you�re doing these movies, you think �My god, this doesn�t come out for two years! Maybe we can do it tomorrow!� But no, the pressure is always to get as much done as you can, for financial reasons, in the course of the period that you�re there. But that also made it kind of exciting, really, because you don�t have too much time to stop, to think and work out the detail. And so you�re pushed back on your instincts and as an actor I always really like that because I think, with any luck, that�s where the best acting can come from.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney devoted 2012 to running for President of the United States. Romney's ideas for recovering the economy and reducing the national debt moved him into the national spotlight. During the primaries, he defeated many Republican politicians to earn the party's official candidacy. On August 30, 2012, during the Republican National Convention, in Tampa Florida, Romney officially accepted the Republican nomination for President. He selected Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. On Election Day, Romney received more than 58 million votes. But more Americans voted to reelect President Obama.
Romney was born on March 12, 1947, in Detroit, Michigan. He is the youngest of four siblings. After earning business and law degrees from Harvard University, Mitt Romney spent most of his career as a successful businessman. Romney also helped organize and steer the 2002 Winter Olympics, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Romney's work on the Olympics helped him gain national recognition. He served as governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007.
Romney and his wife, Ann, have five adult sons and 18 grandchildren. Romney is active as a Mormon, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS). His role in the public eye has helped many Americans learn more about Mormonism.
For his willingness to serve the nation and his commitment to the political process, Mitt Romney is a nominee for TFK's 2012 Person of the Year.

CSPD Prohibits Officer From Coaching
Decision designed to protect kids from future coaching misconduct
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The aftermath of the Josh Carrier child abuse case appears to be a factor in a Colorado Springs police officer being banned from serving as a volunteer girls' basketball coach.
In an exclusive report Thursday, KRDO NewsChannel 13 learned that Bill Walsh, a Colorado Springs policeman assigned to Cheyenne Mountain High School as a resource officer, no longer coaches as he has for the past three years.
The decision, which came from the police department and is being honored by the school, apparently is an effort to avoid a repeat of the Carrier case. Carrier, a former resource officer and volunteer coach at Mann Middle School, was recently convicted of molesting boys on the wrestling team. The city faces paying civil damages to the victims in the case.
A family with two girls who were coached by Walsh, confirmed the decision. Christine Uveges said her daughters Olivia, a sophomore, and Melissa, a senior, liked and respected Walsh and feel it unfair that he's no longer allowed to coach at the school.
"Mom and Dad and I had talked about (Carrier), said Olivia Uveges. "I didn't think it would come to our coach not being able to coach our basketball team because of it. We can't stop people from being coaches because of one incident that happened, and let it ruin. Because there's people like Officer Walsh who love basketball, and love helping other people."
Christine Uveges said she understands the concern that the Carrier case generated, but she questions the decision.
"My personal feeling is that there's got to be another way," she said. "Because if we start down this path, what will we do with Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and high school sports? We've had friends that have committed these kinds of issues. So when I say I'm hypersensitive, I'm very hypersensitive and on the ball about it. But we can't have eunuchs teaching our kids. We have to have real people, good people."
The family hopes that other people will defend Walsh enough to reverse the decision and allow him to resume coaching.
Police, School District 12 and city officials declined to elaborate on the decision. As a result, it's unclear how many other school resource officers may be affected.

For those who care about the details of their eyeshadow, MAKE's Matte Finish ticks every box: (1) the formulation is smooth and consistent; (2) it may take a few layers of application with a brush to achieve the pure pigment color in the compact, but that also allows for more subtle, less intense application of color and easy blending; (3) there is no transfer or "fallout" to the upper cheek or lower lid; (4) pigment is true and long-lasting throughout the day; and (5) when used with a quality primer, no creasing.
I currently own both Purple Sage (available here), a deep, muted purple that adds drama with my fair skin, and Poppy (not currently available on Birchbox, but along with many other colors for purchase on MAKE's own site), a bright orange that really makes my blue/green eyes pop. Most importantly for buying online, MAKE describes both the primary color and the undertone with admirable specificity, making it so much easier to match shades to skin tones and eye colors.

Our assignment was to deliver the Whitbread entry America's Challenge to Southampton UK from Newport RI in time for the start of the Whitbread Around the World Sailing Race scheduled for September 21st. Race rules actually required all boats to be in the UK by September 1st, but we were unsure if we could get to the UK by that date as it was already August 18th when the boat was finally ready to depart.
Great circle distance from Newport to Southampton is 2880 miles and rhumb line is 3300 miles, so sailing a great circle saves over 400 miles. However, Weather-specifically low pressure systems, and Gulf Stream current play a role in route planning. We did not intend to break records on the trip across, just deliver the boat to the UK intact, though as quickly as possible, so our strategy was conservative.
After reviewing Jenifer Clarks Gulf Stream Analysis, and weather forecasts our initial plan was to sail over the top of the Bermuda High-pressure system staying close to the north side of the Gulf Stream. We would adjust our course north or south as weather systems came through. What we did not want were low-pressure systems coming through to our south, which would give us east and northeast winds on the nose.
We departed Newport on the afternoon of August 18th just behind a departing cold front. We had west and then north winds at 15 knots for the first two days. A good way to start a voyage.
However, on the third day (21 August) winds began building from the east and northeast as a Gale approached us from the west. We soon realized the Gale would be passing almost directly over us and with building winds and seas slowing forward progress we elected to head SE to sail beneath the low and put us into an area of south and SW winds.
We fell off and put the wind abaft the beam on the portside, which quickly allowed America's Challenge to pick up speed and begin surfacing down eight and ten ft seas. Boat speed averaged near 12 knots but there were consistent speeds in the high teens and low 20s while surfing.
While running off that night we began to hear a loud crackling sound, and though we investigated at length, its source could not be found. We did agree the sound was loudest under the aft deck near the rudderpost.
This crackling sound, which imitated that of a massive electrical short circuit, continued for several hours that night and then abruptly stopped. The following day we were still investigating the reason for the sound when a crewman happened to look through the hull viewpoint next to the rudderpost and immediately noticed the reason for the previous nights sound-the bottom quarter of the rudder was missing.
We quickly surmised the crackling as the sound produced by the cored rudders skin and foam tip separating and peeling off the rudder body. Now, not sure of the rudder's integrity, we sailed cautiously for the next few hours as we monitored and examined the rudder through the viewport. We soon agreed the remainder of the rudder would probably remain intact, as we could see no further separation or renewed crackling.
We continued on with winds now abaft the beam as we hugged the top edge of the Bermuda-Azores high. We dipped to 38N in the process of sailing below east ward moving low pressure systems, and though this took us off a great circle path we had consistent winds abaft the beam and averaged over 250 miles each day. If we had been further north wind and seas would have been forward of the beam and progress significantly slowed.
To keep speed up in light air we continually shifted water ballast and sails to produce the minimum amount of wetted surface and keep the boat level. Sail bags were moved from below decks to the gunwale and then back again. With the seemingly unlimited sail inventory we had aboard this was a laborious task.
Many of the larger sails required half the crew to move, and as sails became wet their weight seemed to increase exponentially. There was a noticeable increase in speed when the boat was kept level and weight distributed properly.
Sailing flat is physically and mentally less stressful on a crew and therefore less tiring. Sailing flat often increases speed by more than a knot, and sailing faster than surrounding waves has many benefits. It reduces the opportunity of being pooped or broached and makes the boats motion less jerky.
Working at the navigation station was never a problem due to heel or speed, though I will admit that to see GPS SOG readings of 25 knots can make you wonder, but only momentarily, what might happen if the boat slams into a sleeping whale of floating container. I elected to spend little time contemplating this and instead banged away at the computer keyboard.
GPS Blank
One morning about half way through the trip, while downloading weather charts via the SSB and watching a satellite image scroll down the computer screen, the GPS display went blank. The screen did not go dark as occurs when normally shut down, but stayed lit without a display of numbers or letters.
Turning the unit on and off numerous times, and following the manufacturers restart and reprogramming procedures had no effect on restoring the GPS operation. The only entry in the units troubleshooting manual that appeared to address this problem told us to return the unit to the manufacturer! We continued to search for a solution and finally, many hours later, saw the display briefly return when the connection at the antennae was jiggled.
Disconnecting the antennae connections showed salt water corrosion and a loose crimp fitting, so the fitting-along with 6 inches of cable-were cut off and a new one attached. Failure of the first fitting was due most likely to the antennae being mounted less than a foot above the deck on the boat's stern where it was being frequently immersed in salt water.
We had a plastic sextant and Celesticomp calculator aboard, so I knew we could rely on that for the remainder of the trip, but the GPS was the heart of the electronic charting, communications, and performance sailing systems and was needed for running these programs.
Sail Handling
Though this was a racing boat there were procedures and techniques that cruising sailors could use. For example: when a spinnaker is dropped the a tag line leading from the spinnaker clew to between the boom and loose footed mainsail is used to pull the sail below. By pulling the spinnaker through the slot between the boom and loose footed mainsail the sail is collapsed, flattened and restrained.
Once the sail is below it is stretched from bow to stern and then rebundled using yarn stoppers. A closed loop line, resembling a pulley clothesline, is used to extend the spinnaker so that a crewman need not drag the sail up to the bow.
EPIRB Loss
We regularly had water coming across the deck when winds were over 15 knots, and water coming across the deck always came through the cockpit on its way out the open stern. On one night while we were surfing down waves with water continually filling the cockpit the 406 Epirb mounted on the underside of the mainsheet traveler was washed overboard.
Owing to darkness no one on deck saw or realized the Epirb had been swept away until we received a message on our Inmarsat C asking if we were OK and requesting that we check our Epirbs to determine if they were onboard. We quickly determined the on-deck Epirb to be gone.
We e-mailed back that all was well aboard and that our on-deck Epirb had been washed overboard. Fortunately we had a second Epirb below. This incident makes clear that Epirbs mounted on deck need to be both easily deployed but also protected from seas that could wash them overboard.
For those who can afford to do so a second Epirb mounted below decks might be a good investment, especially if your vessel will be venturing to remote or rough weather areas.
Several countries, including USA, England, Germany, Spain, New Zealand and Canada picked up the Epirb signal. They all queried us within a few hours of the Epirb being swept overboard, and so we were impressed by the response time.
Our Inmarsat C and B system worked fairly well thought there were bugs in both software systems that caused us to become frustrated on numerous occasions. When the systems worked they were superb but numerous messages going out from our C system never reached their destination. This was not due to any failing in the Inmarsat C system, which I have used with pleasure many times previously but with these systems particular software and, I think, with the placement of the C antennas.
Both C antennas (we had two systems aboard) were mounted on the stern adjacent to the corner lifeline stantions. These stantions and their stainless steel wire may have been causing some signal reception and sending problems. Problems with our GPS reception may also have been related to its antennae being mounted below and near stainless steel lifelines and next to a stantion. An arch or pedestal may be a better place for these type of antennas, as it places them away from sources of possible interference.
Vang Explosion
Three times during the passage our vang exploded and each time it was due to failure of a block within the vang's multiple block and tackle system. The vang was designed as the weak link in the boom-gooseneck-mainsheet system, and its failure prevented worse problems had the gooseneck, or mainsheet failed. All three vang failures occurred under similar conditions of dynamic loading, brought on when waves were contrary to the wind and the mainsail and boom were undergoing cyclical loading as the boat accelerated and decelerated.
Fortunately no-one was near the vang the times it failed, so there were no Injuries. I examined what pieces could be found of the destroyed blocks and was reminded of the tremendous forces developed when vangs, as well as sheets, halyards, preventers are under load.
Wear and tear of active sailing induces great stresses on deck hardware and produces a belief that blocks, shackles, pins can never be too strong or robust. The bigger the better, but there always needs to be a weak link in a system, and the weak link should be selected so its failure will: (1) do the least harm and (2) prevent further problems. In this case the gooseneck, mainsheet and preventer were all designed to be strong and the vang selected as the weak link since its failure would preserve the boom and gooseneck and be the easiest to fix.
Mainsail Blowout
When just 60 miles from Southampton we were sailing on a beam reach with a full main and jib. Seas were short, sloppy and confused and we regularly felt the boat lurch as cross-seas slowed our progress.
Each time the boat shook the mainsail, which was eased out to port, would slap against the spreaders. A particularly large set of cross-seas caught the boat and as the boat slowed the mainsail-still full of wind-slammed hard against the port spreaders and immediately split along several of its upper horizontal seams.
Since a repair job would have taken several hours we doused and main and continued under jib and "iron genoa." It was the stresses of 12 days of hard sailing exacerbated by slams against the spreaders did-in the mainsail. A lesson to Remember-keep the mainsail off the spreaders.
Onboard Equipment:
We carried paper charts for the passage but we relied on electronic charts and Navtrec software for daily navigation. A noon fix was plotted each day on paper chart #4090 (North Atlantic Plotting Chart-Canada) along with a DR plot. With the GPS coupled to the ProBox computer our position was constantly updated. An electronic log was also kept using the Navtrec program with position and other navigation information entered automatically every hour.
We had the ability and processing power to run numerous programs Simultaneously. For example we often ran concurrently:
We did not run the computer continuously to minimize power consumption though maximum power consumption was around 6 amps, and average consumption close to 3 amps.
We had a laptop onboard as well which we was used more for keeping notes and composing e-mail, but the processing speed of the installed ProBox made it a much more efficient machine for all applications.
We arrived in Southampton on the evening of August 31, meeting the race deadline for arrival by several hours! We covered nearly 3500 miles in just over 12 days, which gave us a daily run of around 290 miles. Our best days run was 359 miles, and we had several days where 320 miles was the average. We encountered half a dozen gales during the trip and fortunately were able to position ourselves on the south side of all except the first so that we experienced winds abaft our beam. The strongest wind experienced was 40 knots and the minimum 10, and when I compared these figures with the Pilot charts after the voyage found that our experience fit within the average conditions shown on those charts.
I attribute our ability to make consistent daily runs to several factors:
Whitbread 60's are impressive in their ability to sail fast in both light and heavy wind and surf when off the wind. They are however hard on their crews, granting few-if any-concessions to their mental and physical needs.
Most striking is the lack of ventilation.
There are no deck vents-either Dorades or Nicro-Fico flush style-to bring fresh air below. There are small vents located in the cockpit protected by clamshell covers that allow a slight amount of air to come below. Most times these vents are capped however since water washing though the cockpit easily goes through these openings drenching the adjacent bunks-and off watch crew!
Lack of ventilation brings about a below decks environment that varies from being too hot, too cold, but always damp.
There are no portlights or avenues for natural light to penetrate below so lighting is all artificial and minimal in the vein of keeping unnecessary weight off the boat. I found that working below for hours on end at the navigation station caused me to feel much more fatigued than expected. Many days I regularly took aspirin to deal with headaches.
These boats are fast and feel extremely seaworthy in heavy weather conditions. Their speed and maneuverability are an asset when moving through a seaway as they allow movement through wave trains and minimize-or even prevent-being broached. Americas Challenge never buried its bow coming down a wave and tracked well on all points of sail.

Police began investigating former Pueblo teacher a year before she resigned
PUEBLO, Colo. - Police reports indicate accusations against a former Pueblo teacher were first investigated by officers in September 2012.
According to reports obtained by KRDO, a parent complained to South High School Principal Aaron Bravo about Larisa Oringdulph in September 2012. The parent told Bravo she heard Oringdulph was having inappropriate relationships with students. Bravo told the parent "he had already taken care of the problem." The parent wasn't satisfied with Bravo's response so she reported the incident to police.
Police interviewed several students in October 2012 who admitted they had been to Oringdulph's home. Oringdulph told police she had invited many students over to her house. She said her husband and her children were always there and nothing inappropriate happened.
Police asked Oringdulph about a text message she was accused of sending a student, asking if he was going to buy porn when he turned 18. Oringdulph admitted she sent him the text. She told police "she did not mean anything by it, it was just a big day."
Oringdulph told police the accusations were rumors that she believed started because of conflicts between the dance team and the cheerleaders. At the time of the investigation, Oringdulph coached the dancers, the Pepperettes, and assisted with coaching the cheerleaders.
A year after police finished their 2012 investigation, more accusations were made and police began another investigation in October 2013. During the 2013 investigation, Oringdulph admitted to kissing and sexting with a male student.
School policy prohibits teachers from texting students unless approved by an administrator. Pueblo City Schools administrators won't comment on their policy.

I just looked at with a magnifying glass. It's a B.
sounds like a colt part the old colts had rubber over metal for the stock --not the plastic we see today.
really old ones were two position-- i guess it was just too much work to drill a couple extra holes--LOL
damn tan --you eyes must be getting like mine--LOL
Yes they are, time for a new set of glasses.
After work I'll post a picture of it. It feels almost like some kind of pot metal and has a texture to it.
Pretty cool though because I forgot I even had it. Complete w/spring and buffer.
I hope you can figure out what it is, sounds like something a collector would like to have

Reviews of this property
We spent five days in Malta and we had a really confortable stay.
The house is in a very good location in Valletta, it is close to all the interesting places in the city, also it takes just five minutes to get to the bus station where you can take most of the public buses, and it is located in a really quiet street so you can rest.
The house is provided with all the things that we needed during those days: all kind of kitchen stuff, towels, washing machine, television, internet and even plug adapters. We stayed there in a really hot week but we were able to rest due to the air conditioner.
We truly recommend it.
We had a nice stay in your appartment in Valletta. Everything we need was there. It was clean. The location off your appartment is very good.
Thank you we could stay there!
Apartment was spacious and comfortable. It has a great location next to the harbour with a short walk into the centre. We received a warm welcome and really enjoyed our stay here.z
very welcome! we had very good days in malta! c the apartment was exactly how the photos! I Just recommended
très bon accueil! on a passé des très bonnes journées a malte! l appart c était précisément comment les photos ! je peux Just le recommandé
The apartment is comfortable, match the photos and very well equipped. Our host, very welcoming, friendly, available, and gave us plenty of explanations on the island for sightseeing. Perfect stay. Only negatives: apartment a little wet (only 1 window), bar beside a little noisy at night.
L'appartement est confortable, correspond aux photos, et très bien équipé. Notre hote, très accueillant, chaleureux, disponible, et nous a donné plein d'explications sur l'Ile pour les visites. Sejour parfait. Seuls points négatifs: appartement un peu humide (1 seul fenetre), bar à coté un peu bruyant le soir.
House in excellent position, well organized and furnished, but there is only one window for the whole house.
The host is very friendly and helpfull.
Comfortable, very attractive decor. Superbly well equipped. Warm welcoming hosts. Convenient five minute walk to the heart of Valletta. Beautiful views of Grand Harbour just nearby from Lower Barakka Gardens. We would definitely return.
By barraka to lower garden, clean, spacious, all within walking distance.
Friendly welcome by cousin in the adjacent cafe.
Recommended for all visitors.
Tegen barraka lower garden aan, schoon, ruim, alles op loopafstand.
Vriendelijke ontvangst door neef in het ernaast gelegen cafe.
Aan te raden voor alle bezoekers.
The property meets almost all of the description given by Wimdu (Apart from the wrong house number given, It has to locate very difficult and unnecessary!).
The apartment was clean, spacious, fully equipped and comfortable.
The new devices were consistently fully functional in good condition and all. Only the shower is very difficult to use because of their small size, for those with more than 185cm tall.
The central location at the entrance of the Grand Harbour and right next to a bar and restaurant was ideal for us.
Weak points of the apartment are to enable the nightly noise from the guests of the adjacent bar and the difficulty of ventilation and natural light through a window.
Especially to be highlighted are the great helpfulness and friendliness of the landlord and his family.
Die Unterkunft entspricht nahezu vollständig der durch Wimdu gegebenen Beschreibung (Abgesehen von der falsch angegebenen Hausnummer; das hat das Auffinden sehr und unnötig erschwert!!).
Die Wohnung war sauber, geräumig, komplett ausgestattet und komfortabel.
Die durchweg neuen Geräte waren in gutem Zustand und alle voll funktionsfähig. Lediglich die Dusche ist wegen ihrer geringen Größe für Menschen mit mehr als 185cm Körpergröße sehr mühsam zu benutzen.
Die zentrale Lage am Eingang des Grand Harbour und direkt neben einer Bar mit Restaurant war für uns ideal.
Schwachpunkte der Wohnung sind die nächtliche Lärmbelästigung durch die Gäste der benachbarten Bar sowie die Schwierigkeit, Luftaustausch und Tageslicht durch ein Fenster zu ermöglichen.
Besonders hervor zu heben sind die große Hilfsbereitschaft und Freundlichkeit des Vermieters und seiner Familie.
