What if there were a way for a lot of people to add a little bit to the bounty? What if anyone could use paypal or something like that to add a dollar or five or ten to the bounty? Collectively, this might be minimally valuable to a few people, but if a lot of people added just a little to the pot, the pot could get very enticing. No need for the honor system, just create a 'product' on paypal to put the donation to. Have it expire so that people get refunded if there are no takers after so much time has expired. Perhaps I do not have a handle on how these things work, but it seems to be something worth exploring. As more people come across the idea that there is a pot for someone to deliver something valuable, they might feel better about adding a few dollars to the pot, knowing they will get it back if it is not delivered.
just a thought

100Amp Service
I have 100Amp Service to my mobile home and have 2 extra spaces. Am I able to power a 100Amp subpanel to a new room next door from that main 100amp service? In the new room there will be two 20amp recept circuits, two 15amp circuits for lighting and a 30amp #10-3 wire for a printing cutter that requires a 3-phase which i will get a converter to single phase double-pole 30Amp breaker.
Maybe he was hoping there has been advances in electrical distribution.
Yeah that was me and forgot I asked that question already sorry. But Ive finished up everything else and decided to upgrade my service to a 200amp Service Panel to feed the shop and mobile home. I hate to feed a 70Amp subpanel from the existing 100amp panel inside the trailer cause I will need a double 30amp breaker in the sub at the shop. So I slapped the 200amp main meter onto the shop and will run #4 thhn to feed the trailer.
So my next question is: The trailer has a 100amp breaker inside the panel, and the 200amp will have a 100amp breaker for the trailer. Can I feed the trailer with those two 100amp breakers or would i need a main lug 100amp panel inside the trailer ? Thanks so much for your time.
You do not have to change the panel inside your trailer, but you do have to make sure the neutral and ground are not bonded. They usually aren't in trailers, but check to be sure.
The 100 A breaker in you trailer panel is fine, but if you use #4 THHN to feed it, the breaker in the 200 A panel can't be over 85 amps. Since you'll have a real hard time finding a breaker that size, it will be 80 A. Go with #3 and put it on a 100.
Good luck with that single-phase to 3-phase converter.
I'm trying to get wrapped around what you have done to tell if you are code compliant. Mobile Homes are a different duck as far a dwelling service rules in general. So let me see if I have this straight.
1.) Your service equipment is located on a detached shop in the form of a 200 amp meter/main breaker panel. The utility has run an underground or overhead to that 200 amp meter main panel.
2.) From that 200 amp panel you have installed a 100 amp breaker and ran a feeder to a 100 amp main breaker panel inside the mobile home.
3.) Are you sure you don't have a meter pedsestal or meter on a pole and then power is ran to the shop 200 amp panel from it?
4.) Just exactly what did you do to get 200 amps besides hanging a 200 amp panel?
5.) Have you had this inspected? Because this is a very unconventional method for a mobile home service. Just curious
6.) How many wires did you run in the feeder to the mobile home?
Can you please correct or verify 1 and 2
Can you please answer 3,4,5, and 6 for the moment.
1 and 2 is what Im trying to do. I have the 200A main/meter on the detached shop, and have #4 thhn copper stranded wire to feed the mobile home which has a 100A main Panel inside with a 100A breaker in it. Right now the 200A Panel hasnt been energized yet by the utility company. The mobile home is currently hooked up to a meter disconnect on a pole outside which is 100A. But when the utility company comes back, they are going to disconnect that 100A meter and run their new wire underground to the detatched shop 200A Square D meter Panel. From there I will run the #4 wire underground to the trailer 100A Panel. I talked to the utility guy and he said that would be fine but I needed to dig the trench which I have completed today. I thought that since the current service has #4 stranded thhn wire from the 100A meter outside to the 100A panel inside, I would be able to use a 100A breaker from the 200A meter to feed the trailer. I forgot to ask the utility guy that and they are supposed to come hook it up on friday. I live in a very remote area in Northern Az. and it is a b*tch to get a hold of these utility people so I wanna make sure I have everything correct and ready by the time he comes back. I do have the #4 wire already which I will run the two hots and neutral with and a #6 for the ground. So there will be those four wires going thru 2" PVC. from the trailer to the shop. And I have 2-1/2" PVC from the shop to the utility main pole. I also drove the 10ft copper ground rod at the 200A Panel. So...those are the only two panels I will be using. Hey Thanks alot guys you are great.!!!
I'm not sure why you just didn't use a meter main at the pole and feed the shop and the mobile home from it. Also did the utility say you have a 200 amp service? Anyway I'm assuming that there is no local inspection. Since I'm not familiar with what the Arizona folks allow I will assume they will let you sub-feed the mobile home from the shop service equipment. If they are allowing the dwelling ampacity table to be applied to the #4 thhn on a sub feed then you are ok with that for 100 amps.
Yeah I thought about feeding the shop from the existing 100A meter main but I plan on adding onto the shop with a bigger structure and thought this would be the best time to just upgrade to 200A. I also might build another structure or offices. Yeah theres no inspection out here, but the utility(APS) will always tell you what you can and cannot do.
#4 THHN is ok for your 100 amp feeder, but not for underground installation. Not for direct burial or inside buried conduit.
Hi...what do I need to power the trailer cause i already buried the #4 thhn in 2" conduit from the 200A to the 100A panel inside the trailer. But I havent hooked it to the trailer panel as of yet as its still powered by the 100A service. The utility company is supposed to come and energize the 200A main and disconnect the 100A service on friday. So basically its just a service upgrade. Thanks!
Wire with a W in it. THWN XHHW. Underground conduit is considered a wet location. Look closely at your wire and see if it is multi rated. THHN/THWN. Hopefully you will see the W.
#4 thhn wire is too small to feed a 100 amp SUB-PANEL, which is what you have. you need #3wire for that. You will need 3 runs of 3awg, 2 hot and 1 neutral, and 1 run of 6 awg for the ground. You say you have already run 2 inch conduit, lucky you the required wires wii fit in that pipe, just pull out the old ones and pull in the new ones. 4awg wire is the proper size for service entrance conductors for 100 amps, but in your case the panel in the trailer is now a sub-panel and the bigger wire is needed
So I should use a smaller breaker then in both panels right? since the 4 is already ran. I'll check first thing tommorow to see if the w is there, I think there are both thhn and thwn.
The wire will be dual rated but you can check for piece of mind. I apologize I should have stated thhn/thwn. What wire twister stated is true. Table 310.15(B)(6) for dwellings must be allowed to use #4 awg copper at 100 amps. Some local authoritys don't care in a situation like yours and will allow the #4 at 100. However the NEC does not allow it on sub feeds so follow wire twisters advice. Or you can install a 90 amp breaker in the 200 amp panel to protect the #4 feeder to the mobile home panel. You do not have to change the 100 amp main breaker in the trailer panel.
around here they would not let you sub-feed the trailer from another building electrical system. In my experience the mobile home would not be required to have a driven electrode for grounding. For mobile homes this is usually done at the service equipment.

Letter from Principal Kami Tomberlain
Dear Pioneer Families,
Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year! We're hopeful that each of you will have a pleasant summer and come back to school in August ready to learn and play with your fellow Pioneers.
We do have a few administrative changes for the coming year. Our long-term Assistant Principal, Cathleen Rodriguez, has a new job at the district office and will no longer be with us daily. Our new Assistant Principal, Yukari Salazar, will be a familiar face to many of you. She's been teaching Japanese and leading the World Language department at Cupertino for over ten years. We are thrilled to have her on our team. Mrs. Salazar (Gr-L) will be overseeing athletics and activities; Mr. Walczak (A-Go) will take on the role of Scheduling and Guidance Assistant Principal. Rounding out our team will be Mr. Wright (Sh-Z) and Mrs. Nafrada (M-Se). Our returning Assistant Principals will continue supporting their alpha groups while Ms. Salazar will take over student support for those formerly seen by Mrs. Rodriguez.
Also new this year are traffic guidelines designed by the city to reduce congestion on Finch Avenue. Drivers who are dropping off students in the pool parking lot may only turn LEFT on Finch. Those dropping off students in the bus circle may only turn RIGHT on Finch. We will continue to have a crossing guard on Finch and also at Stevens Creek. Please be mindful of pedestrians and bicyclists as you drive near campus.
Additionally, we will begin construction this fall on a new classroom building at the back of campus. The building, set to open in December of 2017, will house 30 classrooms, including 6 science labs and one Robotics lab. We are excited about this new addition to our campus, though we will be maneuvering around construction fences again for about a year. Those classes formerly housed in building 600 will be relocated for the next year and a half—as soon as the portables are delivered to campus. Drama, Academic Communication, and the Visually Impaired program have already moved so that there's less disruption for those students. We remain grateful to the community for the bond support that allows us to house our additional students effectively.
Summer is a great time to get prepped for the school year in a variety of ways. I tell the students that to be a true Pioneer, they need to work hard, play hard, be kind and live with integrity. Summer is perfect for setting goals in those areas, making some "new year's resolutions," (mine are always timed with a new school year rather than the turn of the clock in January), acquiring supplies, developing positive habits, and making memories with friends. We encourage all of our young Pioneers to get involved in school activities as well as academics. Summer is a great opportunity to research options and make a game plan, whether your student is an incoming 9th grader or an upperclassman who hasn't yet found his/her niche. There are activities to suit every taste, from sports to performing arts, service clubs to interest clubs, competitive groups and groups that just hang out together. A trip to our website (http://www.chs.fuhsd.org/) would be super start—as would a chat with your neighbors about their experiences at Tino.
Our academic theme at Cupertino High School is that "all means all." We expect all of our students to learn at high levels and will provide the time and support necessary for students to reach those heights. Students are expected to do their work, ask questions, monitor their learning, and get help when needed. The staff provides a variety of resources for student assistance, from office hours to tutorial to afterschool workshops or labs. Additionally, there are school-wide support systems in place such as the Student Center for Success and Admin Tutorial. Parents will be kept updated on student performance largely via our School Loop system. If you would like to volunteer as a parent tutor to help students reach their goals, please contact Mr. Geoff Wright at firstname.lastname@example.com. Our academic support systems rely heavily on parent volunteers, so if you have time to give and a passion for learning, we have a place for you!
I also encourage parents to get involved in other ways at Cupertino High School. We have an active Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) that coordinates a number of events each year and could use your support and assistance. There is an elected School Site Council. Booster groups for activities such as sports, performing arts, cheer, dance, and speech always need help as well. Please find ways to get involved—at the level that suits you. We value parent help!
The school office will be closed for the month of July, opening again on August 1st. If you need assistance prior to August 1st, please contact our district office at (408)-522-2200. The receptionist there can direct your call.
Have a wonderful summer! We'll see you all on August 8th (Seniors & Juniors) or August 9th (All new students, Freshmen, & Sophomores) for Pioneer Days and then again on August 15th for the First Day of School. Until then, enjoy your PDF (play time, down time, family time).
With Pioneer Pride,
Kami Tomberlain

Compare Jet Ultra lilac Deals
The Samsung Jet Ultra is an ultra-thin (11.9 mm) dinky device, although it does weigh in at 110g. It features AMOLED (active matrix organic light-emitting diode) touchscreen technology for its 3.1-inch, 480 x 800 pixels high resolution display: this is the latest thing, suitable for ultra-thin devices because it does not require a backlight. The Jet now comes with iPlayer for the ultimate in entertainment.
It's as much a phone for the way it looks as the actual hardware – the full QWERTY keyboard is a bit tricky to use, for example, in landscape mode. The 5 megapixel camera is good value with dual LED flash, geo-tagging, image stabilization, face detection, Smile Shot and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), plus a music player and D1 video recorder (30fps), with DivX/XviD support, Wi-fi and GPS.
Quad-band roaming and 3G HSDPA for fast internet browsing, an accelerometer for screen auto rotate and turn-to-mute, an electronic compass and FM radio with RDS – all add to what amounts to a "tick most boxes" package – including a standard 3.5mm headphone jack on the top, just like an iPlayer.
The Jet makes use of Cube-style menu interaction, run by a 3D-cube style button on the front, which has the same kind of functionality as the menu button on S60 devices. The Jet's TouchWiz 2.0 interface has Motion UI and Media Gate 3D: an intuitive six-sided cube interface that you flick on screen for quick and easy access to six key multimedia features, such as Photo album, Music player, Video player, FM Radio, Games and internet.
There is 2 Gbytes' internal storage and a hot-swappable micro-SD card slot for up to 16 GB additional capacity. All in all, the Jet lives up to its billing.

Claude Julien: Bruins 'optimistic' about Patrice Bergeron
|05.13.11 at 1:23 pm ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien has been asked about the status of Patrice Bergeron ever since the 25-year-old went down with a concussion in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and he has yet to offer any update aside from that Bergeron is feeling better. Friday was no different, though Julien did share a laugh with the media.
"Well I think, I don't know if you guys share a conference before I get here and say who's asking the question today, but I am getting that question asked everyday," Julien said. "I think he's improving — he really is improving. We're optimistic about him. As Peter [Chiarelli] said, we knew he was going to miss the start of the series and how much he is going to miss, I can't tell you right now. But he is on the right track and we're staying positive.
"Again, I say that every day. I'm not going to say much more because when it comes to concussions you have good news and you have setbacks and you have all kinds of things that can happen. I'm not going to stand here and change my tune every day except to tell you that right now that's going in the right direction."
Through 11 games, Bergeron leads the B's with 12 points this postseason. Julien offered on Thursday that the center had not been doing any sort of workouts.

Awesome. Congrats. Have not trapped in years. Motivates me
That is about the cleanest coyote I have ever seen. Good job! He looks so innocent. The only thing better than a dead coyote is a soon to be dead coyote!
Thank you!! I agree! Lol he was cute but much cuter after he was dead! Lol
That is a good looking Coyote, nice and pale. Did you use a dirt hole or scent post set ? How's the fur prices in Wyoming ?
Congrats man!
A bonafide city boy...that calls the Backcountry his "hood!"

text: TYSONS CORNER, Va., Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroStrategy ® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced the general availability of MicroStrategy 9.3, the new release of the Company's core platform. A Sophisticated BI Platform that Makes Business Intelligence Easier and FasterMicroStrategy 9.3 includes dozens of powerful new capabilities and improvements to MicroStrategy's data discovery software, Visual Insight; increased support for advanced analytics from 'R' – an open source language for predictive analysis; and improved connectivity to Hadoop. In addition, MicroStrategy 9.3 delivers a high speed "Google-like" search experience and introduces an innovative, new administration product, MicroStrategy System Manager, for automating manual, multi-step processes. Taken together, these enhancements ensure that business people receive critical business information at the right time for making better business decisions. "The MicroStrategy 9.3 release is a big advancement for a firm already providing leadership in the analytics market," said Tony Cosentino, VP and Research Director of Ventana Research. "Given the firm's advantage of being an enterprise platform and moving into discovery tools with Visual Insight, it is likely in a better position to expand than many of the discovery players trying to move upstream into an enterprise role. The fact that the company has built the platform from the ground up also gives it an advantage over some of the larger players with less organic strategies." Fast, Intuitive Data Visualization and ExplorationMicroStrategy Visual Insight 9.3 includes new features that make data exploration and dashboard-building simple and fast. Three powerful new visualizations – density maps, image layouts, and network diagrams – combined with a repertoire of 300+ analytical functions allow for easy analysis of data stored in any type of data source: relational databases, multi-dimensional databases, Hadoop distributions, Web Services, and personal data stores, such as Excel files. "MicroStrategy's new release (9.3) of Visual Insight provides self-service capabilities to add to this BI platform vendor's proven set of enterprise offerings," said Dr. Carsten Bange, Founder and CEO of Business Application Research Center (BARC), a leading European independent software industry analyst firm. "Providing business users the ability to explore their data and generate analyses on their own without IT involvement reduces the bottlenecks in report creation and increases user satisfaction and adoption." Kendra Burgess, Product Manager at Dell, observes: "MicroStrategy 9.3 has great enhancements across the platform that will make MicroStrategy hard to beat. With improvements to overall usability, Visual Insight, Data Import, and automated administrative workflows, MicroStrategy 9.3 opens up more possibilities to deliver dashboards and data exploration." Extraction of Business Insights Stored in Apache Hadoop and SAP HANARecognizing that Big Data is now a critical competitive asset for organizations, MicroStrategy 9.3 includes the ability to unlock business insights stored in Apache Hadoop and SAP HANA data sources. MicroStrategy 9.3 lets business users build reports, perform analysis and conduct visual exploration without requiring any expertise in either technology. The MicroStrategy 9.3 platform includes a Hive Thrift connector for Apache Hadoop as well as a new connector for SAP HANA. Using MicroStrategy's MultiSource Option and In-memory technology, organizations can easily merge Hadoop and SAP HANA data with other data sources, resulting in high-performance data analysis across multiple data sets. "Data scalability with MicroStrategy's ROLAP engine and tightly integrated in-memory cubes has long been a differentiator, but in 9.3, the vendor adds support for SAP HANA, Hadoop and Hive. MicroStrategy is a company continuing to improve on an already solid product and innovating in multiple areas," said Cindi Howson, President of the BIScorecard, a leading resource for in-depth BI product reviews, based on exclusive hands-on testing. Teradata Vice President for Global Alliances Rob Berman observes: "We've been partners since 1995, and during that time, MicroStrategy has had a history of exploiting the unique capabilities of the Teradata platform to its fullest. As such, it should be no surprise that the new 9.3 upgrade continues this history of highly optimized technical integration to Teradata's analytic platform for business intelligence and has expanded its world-class performance and scalability by also leveraging Teradata's columnar storage option. In addition, MicroStrategy has increased compatibility and optimization with Teradata Aster for Big Data analytics." An Expanded Analytical Function Library with Computations Available in "R"MicroStrategy 9.3 expands its analytical function repertoire with an additional 5,000+ computations available within "R" open source project, the most widely used statistical computing language. Companies can create business KPI's using the full computational strength of "R" and then apply those computations on their Big Data using MicroStrategy's reports and dashboards. A New "Google-like" Metadata Search Engine MicroStrategy 9.3 delivers a high speed "Google-like" search experience that lets business people find answers quickly. In enterprises with diverse deployments, there can be thousands of reports and dashboards that contain answers to innumerable business questions. The challenge is enabling any business user to find the report or dashboard that contains the answers he wants, without having to open countless reports. MicroStrategy's new search engine solves this problem by providing business people with an easy search capability that immediately identifies all reports and dashboards that contain the answers they need. MicroStrategy's new search feature also lets users create new reports by auto-completing search entries for the user, thus speeding up and simplifying the process. "MicroStrategy's new Search interface, along with other improvements, will definitely appeal to our customers, facilitating user adoption and delivery of powerful dashboards and analytics across their organization," said Matt Cox, Lancet Care Team Lead at Lancet Software. Automated BI Administration with MicroStrategy System ManagerMicroStrategy 9.3 also introduces an innovative, new administration product, MicroStrategy System Manager, for automating the many manual, multi-step processes required to manage a BI ecosystem. For instance, MicroStrategy System Manager is able to automate the migration of BI application changes from the development and testing environments into the production environment. It can also automate the incremental refreshes of cached data, as well as execute large-scale scheduled report distributions as soon as new data is available. MicroStrategy System Manager, the first of its kind in the BI market space, saves BI administration teams thousands of hours of manual effort, provides better performance for users, and significantly reduces administrative costs. "MicroStrategy System Manager has greatly simplified our BI administrative processes by creating and automating workflows that integrate MicroStrategy and non-MicroStrategy processes," said Matthew Pitt, MicroStrategy Administrator at dunnhumby. "We see significant gains and cost savings by codifying standard processes, such as automatically configuring new environment builds and enabling LDAP, as well as automating change control across development, test and production environments." Albert Sanchez Casals, MicroStrategy Service Owner at Swisscom AG, Business Intelligence Operations, notes: "MicroStrategy System Manager will allow Swisscom to automate workflows, such as the replication of MicroStrategy metadata objects from one environment to another, while developers will be able to manage development and test workflows on their own, thereby saving a lot of time."

text: I have asked about several restaurants over the last two years so I hope you will be patient as I ask about another! We love the atmosphere in San Angel and DS 4 would really like to eat there on our upcoming trip. DS avoids dairy, gluten and food coloring. I have to avoid a lot of foods with the more difficult ones to avoid being dairy, soy, gluten, egg, tomato, garlic and peanut. I have had great experiences at many places but would like to give San Angel a try. I'm VERY EASY to please- I would be happy with some chicken or steak sautéed with onions and peppers and oilve oil over some lettuce. My big question is: has anyone had a multitude of allergies accommodated safely there? I don't need anything fancy- just safe food. Thanks for any reviews!

Monday's announcement by Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) of its intent to begin the development phase of a medical school campus in central Wisconsin is being hailed as good news for the region by Ministry Health Care.
"As a major provider of health care services in Wisconsin, we are excited about this important initiative by the Medical College of Wisconsin, stated Michael Kryda, MD, Vice President of Medical Affairs for Ministry Health Care. "This new program has the potential of complimenting the already long-established medical education programs within our system as we continue to address the need for additional physicians in the many communities we serve across the state"
MCW's Board of Trustees last week authorized its leadership to enter into the development phase of establishing the two community-based medical education campuses in Green Bay and Central Wisconsin with a goal of admitting the first group of medical students to the new campuses as early as the summer of 2015.
Milestones that must be achieved before student recruitment will begin are relevant to accreditation, funding, faculty recruitment and development, formalized agreements with local health care systems and academic institutions, MCW faculty approvals, and the creation of local residency programs.
"More than seventy-five percent of Wisconsin residents who receive both their medical education and residency training in Wisconsin choose to remain in the state," stated Dr. Kryda. "With a known shortage of physicians, locating this program in the heart of our service area provides a prime opportunity to showcase our personalized approach to patient care."
Ministry Health Care is an integrated Catholic health care delivery system serving over 1.1 million people across Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota. Ministry operations generate over $2 billion in annual operating revenue with 15 hospitals, 47 clinics, and nearly 12,000 employees including a medical group with 650 physicians and advanced practice clinicians.
Ministry was founded by the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother and the Wheaton Franciscan Sisters more than 120 years ago to further the healing ministry of Jesus by continually improving the health and well-being of all people, especially the poor., Ministry is ranked among the top 20 percent of health care systems in the country according to Truven Health Analytics (formerly the health care business of Thomson Reuters). Ministry's parent organization, Marian Health System, operates 36-affiliated hospitals and more than 150 clinics in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Kansas.

Reflections by an old fart
Hi, everyone,
I went down to help a couple of young kids help launch a small powerboat at the local ramp recently, which led me to thinking about my own youth and boating, in general.
The 'Bilge Bug' bit me, hard, when I was a 13 year old kid. Dad worked in a Lincoln-Mercury dealer as a body & fender man, and I spent my Saturdays from the time I'd been about 6 going to the shop and watching, learning and being a typical kid asking the guys "Why...?" (and being a nuisance!)
Anyway, one Saturday morning when I was 13, an insurance adjuster snagged my Dad and me. He knew I liked to tear things apart--I was always VERY good at that--and put them back together again. (Not always so good at that part...'Hey, Dad! I don't know what's next.") Well, the insurance guy says, "I have a brand new Merc outboard motor that got sunk about two minutes after the guy launched his new boat... Long story, I'll skip this part. Anyway, the engine had gone swimming at Long Beach Marine Stadium the very first time it had gotten wet. The insurance company just bought the guy a whole new boat. That was cheaper than fixing the other brand new boat.
The adjuster sold us that motor for $20 bucks. Bear in mind that this was 1961 and twenty bucks was a good chunk of change. We took it home, and built a 2x4 rack to put the thing on. Then Dad says, "Knock yourself out. I don't know a thing about outboards, so you're on your own."
I went to the library and found a book about outboards and read it. While I was reading, I tore the engine apart, being careful, because I wanted it to run again. The rings had rusted to the cylinder walls, naturally, so it took a little judicious beating to get them out. I mowed a few lawns, washed a few cars, whatever, and bought new rings, a gasket set and some other stuff and put the engine back together. I didn't mention this, but it was a 75 HP Merc. One of the old, pretty ones with the tall, black housing and chrome strips on it.
Anyway, I got it all back together without any left over parts (one of my major problems with most things!), and it was time to test it. Dad comes up with a 55 gallon steel drum from work, and we lift the motor up using the garage rafters and lowered it into the barrel, and the jury rigged mount.
Like I said, Dad didn't know anything about outboards. All I really knew was the mechanical part that I'd just learned. That made for an interesting first run.
We filled the drum up with water. Mom came out to watch. The next door neighbor came over to watch. My best buddy rode his bicycle over to watch. We had a nice little crowd in the garage when I hit the START switch.
Whine, whine, whine, sputter, ROAR!
Do you have any idea how far a 75 HP outboard can launch 50 gallons or so of water? I guess I didn't mention that this was one of the old style Mercs. It didn't have a transmission. When the engine started, the prop spun. Period. Oh, yeah. I guess I didn't mention we'd put the prop on the motor, too.
Well, the engine roared, emptied the drum all over all of us, and I managed to get it shut off before I wrecked it again!
I admit I still remember laughing at several things that day. The look on Dad's face--amazement that the thing actually ran, and surprise at the speed with which it emptied that drum. My Mom, who's carefully coiffed hair 'melted' into a soggy mess. Our little mutt, Dutchie, who ran from the racket like someone had shot at him. Finally, my buddy who was laughing so hard he almost fell down.
Dad's only comment was, "I'll be d******. It runs."
So we had this fire breathing Merc and nothing to put it on. Dad, always eager to find ways of keeping me busy and out of mischief, brings home a set of Glen L plans for a little 15 foot, flatbottom runabout that could be built with almost nothing but plywood and fiberglass. No trick, since Glen was in Bellflower, California, which was where we lived, too.
Pop gives me the plans, and it was off to my room where I put on a stack of 45 RPM records on the old Admiral record player, and buried myself in the plans.
It took me a week to get a pretty good handle on the plans. The following Saturday, after work (and I really was working by then. I could remove and replace bumpers, fenders, hoods, etc., with little more than an careful eye and helpful word from Dad), we took the old International Harvester pickup to the lumber yard and bought some of the lumber to start building the boat.
Mom's beautiful 1959 Mercury car got evicted from the garage to make room for the new project.
I spent the next year and a half working in the garage when I could. Dad helped when he could, but he didn't know much about woodworking and not much more about boats, in general, even though he'd served in the Navy during WWII. But he helped me by encouragement, keeping me company, and making me quit when I was getting mad (not hard to accomplish. 1/2 Irish, 1/4 German and 1/4 Cherokee!), frustrated, or just plain tired. Poor Dutchie, who was 'my' dog had learned to stay near the garage door if he didn't want fiberglass resin in his fur, but he kept me good company when Dad wasn't there. My Mom was not happy about the whole thing. Dust. Rude chemical smells. Loud noises. Things I learned from my Boatswain's Mate Dad's repertoire of things you wouldn't say in church coming out of my mouth as the batch of resin I'd mixed went off too fast.
Finally, thanks to Dad's welding skills, a trailer was built from this and that, and the boat was turned right-side up. Quite a feat, and I'm pretty sure the garage rafters were never built to carry the load, but they held, somehow.
Saturdays after work, Dad and I would go to Marine Stadium and other boating places so I could look at finished boats. This had a couple of effects. I got ideas about how things should look, and more importantly, I got to spend time with Pop, doing guy-things. (I didn't realize that part until many, many years later, btw.)
Hardwood was (and still is) expensive. Mow more lawns, wash and hand wax more cars. Paper routes. I did it all, because the Bilge Bug had me good. I was thoroughly infected.
Mahogany trim on the rails, a sheet of teak and holly plywood for the little foredeck area. Mahogany veneer plywood to make what you could see pretty. Lots and lots of clear lacquer. I was (and still am) better driving a spray gun than a brush. The seats frames got made and covered in resin to protect the thin plywood, and then they went into the back of the old IH pickup, and it was down to Tiajuana, where upholstery work was very, very cheap.
With the seats in place, lots of pretty wood covered with (literally) gallons of clear lacquer, and a beautiful candy-apple red paint job on the hull. (Like I said, I was handy with a spray gun), my little 15 footer was finally looking like a right proper little boat.
I spent the last couple of months before launching working to buy such things as life jackets, chrome cleats, steering and engine controls and installing them.
Finally satisfied that things were as good as we could make them, Dad and I went and fought the battle with the California DMV to get the home-built boat registered. If you've ever lived in CA, you feel my pain.
Tacky looking vinyl letters and numbers uglifying the otherwise beautiful bow of my candy red hull, it was time to put the boat in the water the very first time.
Timing was special. My birthday fell on a Saturday in late June, and the weather would be perfect. Dad and I got up, went to work, came home, and hooked the trailer up to the old Harvester and it was off to the Long Beach Marine Stadium for the launching.
I remember this ancient old guy watching me as I did my final checks, walking around and looking at every detail. I remembered the story of how I'd come by the black beauty hanging on the back of the boat, and had no intention of suffering the same fate. The old guy, who was, I remember vividly, smoking a pipe walked up to me and said, "She's beautiful."
I remember almost bursting with pride. Here's this salty looking old man telling me something I had built with my own hands was beautiful. Never before or since have I ever been so happy. I told him that I'd built her myself, and Dad just nodded, proud of me and the boat, to verify I was telling the truth.
Then the old man said something I've never forgotten. "Son, there are two kinds of people out there. There are boat owners, and there are sailors. You always want to be a sailor. Bon Voyage, and have fun." He walked back to his car and sat to watch our maiden cruise.
Everything worked perfectly. That was my 15th birthday, and I ran that little boat whenever I could until it was stolen a few months before I joined the Navy when I was 18.
The thing I remember best about all of it was the statement about boat owners and sailors. I'm the old fart now. I try to make the kids understand that if you're going to the sea, even in a little boat, you should be a sailor. It doesn't matter if you're driving a hopped up runabout like the one in my story, a day sailor, or a big boat like the 56 footer I captain now or the big sport fishing sedans my colleagues run. You can be a boater or a sailor, and it's always better to be a sailor.
Hope you've enjoyed this tale, and being the old fart that I am, I'll tell you this: There are boat owners, and there are sailors. Try to always be a sailor.
Take Care...

Great story Gary, Thanks for sharing it. The weather forcast here in the Annapolis area is so bad I left the boat at the dock today.
That was a piece of literary art....just as good as any closing story in any fishing rag I read.
You just might have missed your calling....on second thought no ...you did not...your a Sailor...
Thanks for sharing that
Well said... thank you for sharing that... ;)
Great story! I bet you could get it published!
A neighbor gave me an old Scott-Atwater outboard to fix when I was a kid. I took it all apart, made new gaskets for this and that, then put it all back together. It never did run again, but perhaps that had something to do with the extra parts I had left over. Glad you were more successful!
Well spoken, well said. Keep being a sailor, but I was thought 'old farts' were just dust plumes.
Great story, Reminds me of my 16 foot boat sitting in my parents barn. 23 years ago my dad presented me with a book of plans. He was amazing with his hands, he could make or fix anything. Anyway, we spent a year and half every possible evening and weekend building this boat together. As you said, quality father son time. Teaching me how all the different tools worked, how to have patience, and pace yourself. Now years later, it hasn't seen water in a few years and desperately needs some attention. I hope my summer slows down soon so that I and my 5 year old daughter can work on it together. My dad left me one last father son project which I hope to finish someday, we were working on the last two frames of a beautiful 16 foot centerboard sailboat when he passed away. Thanks for reminding me of all the time in the shop.
Great well written story, even made my coffee taste better reading it. Thanks Captain, for sharing.
That was quite and accomplishment. I very much appreciate you taking the time to share it with us.
This was another reminder as to why I keep hanging around Sailnet.
Great story! You really should see about getting it published.

Continuing with their affixation with vintage and classic styled runners, Japanese brand nonnative has lined up with American running brand Brooks on their 80s icon, the Vantage Supreme. The focus of the shoe revolves strictly around the Vantage Supreme's 80s silhouette and quality perforated upper. The end product is quite similar thematically to nonnative's pairing with New Balance on the M1700C. Look for the nonnative x Brooks Vantage Supreme to be available in black, brown, gray and purple at honeyee store.

Well, personally I love some of the ideas herein, but they don't pass muster under the laws of the USA.
I also agree that it is a right.
What we do need, however, is more educated and intelligent voters at the polls. Voters that have studied the issues and can make an intelligent voting decisions based on the facts.
A compulsory vote might accomplish the above (the counter argument being they already vote), and one could argue that masses of idiots voting might well just cancel each other out (the law of large numbers, and even odds).

Its Been 2 Months Since my Butt Augmentation. Half of my incision is healed but the other part keeps leaking! I take 2 different antibiotics a day and I clean the incision. Im getting so so tired of the leaking fluids. Ive had it stiched about 3 different times now. What else can I do?? I cant get them taken out because I don't have time off of work anymore. It was all used up for the operation.
Why Is My Incision Still Leaking?
Doctor Answers 2
Leaking incision after butt implants
I recommend a follow up with your surgeon. He or she may need to culture the draining fluid to see if it is a seroma ( no infection so negative cultures) or a true infection, for which you may need intravenous antibiotics for salvage or implant removal. If it is a seroma a drain may need to be replaced. Good luck and take care!
Web reference: Http://www.drlacerna.com
Buttock augmentation fluid leak still at 2 months
Assuming you had buttock implants placed, persistent fluid leaking out of the incision at 2 months post-op is usually not a good sign. For me this is usually an indication that something is going on in and around the implant that may require removal sooner than later. If this is indeed what your operating surgeon is suggesting than I would follow his recommendation to have them removed. Glad to help... @drrryanstanton

At least three people were stabbed in a parking lot at Sports Authority Stadium Field at Mile High on Thursday night, after the Denver Broncos' 27-20 defeat by the San Diego Chargers. A police spokesman, Steve Warneke, said three males were stabbed, and a fourth may have been stabbed, but that person left the scene.
Police had several people in custody on Thursday night and were not looking for other suspects. None had been formally charged as of just after midnight. Police said that the incident was called in at 9.55pm.
Warneke described the scene as "very chaotic" and said police did not yet know what led up to the fight or whether the men had attended the game. The Denver Post reported there were multiple eye-witnesses. Warneke said one person was initially in critical condition, but all were conscious and talking.
The stabbing is just one of several recent incidents involving football fans. Earlier this month in Kansas City, Missouri, a man died after an altercation in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot during a Chiefs game against Denver. In September in San Francisco, a teenage fan suffered a concussion and a broken arm and nose at Candlestick Park after police say he was attacked during a 49ers' game against Indianapolis.

2008 Summer Seminar
June 23 - July 18, 2008
A four-week faculty development seminar for Chinese professors and postgraduate students will be held at Calvin College in the summer of 2008. The seminar will be directed by Del Ratzsch of Calvin College and Michael Murray of Franklin & Marshall College.
While popular disputes concerning the relationship between science and religion have been most visible in the United States, the underlying issues are relevant to scholars in science, religion, and the humanities globally. Scholars from all three areas are in substantial disagreement about whether or not their disciplines can and do overlap and, if so, how. All of this highlights the need for careful reflection by scholars in these areas on the nature of scientific inquiry, its deliverances, and its potential to displace
religious and philosophical conceptions of the world. This four week seminar will focus on these and related issues. In particular, we will focus attention on historical and contemporary philosophical
conceptions of science, the role of philosophy and theology in the rise of modern science, and historical and contemporary approaches to science/religion relationships.Instruction will be in English.
The seminar will feature a different distinguished visiting lecturer each week representing both the sciences and the humanities. The confirmed lecturers are Alvin Plantinga (Notre Dame, Philosophy),
Owen Gingerich (Harvard, Astronomy), Richard Swinburne (Oxford, Philosophy), and John Polkinghorne (Cambridge, Physics). Following is the dates and times of each weekly public lecture:

I love following your column and making your delicious recipes. But when you have a contest that involves facebook, you leave out a lot of us who don't use facebook. I can't use it due to privacy issues with it, because my husband works for the government and we can't use it. So, I'd like to appeal to you to have other avenues that those of us not on facebook can use, such as you did with the pintrest. I hope we have an equal chance to win. Thank you for your gift to all of us that love your recipes.
Thank you for having this chance to win, I so need a new blender!

Recently started on the Paleo Diet. My current blender is having a hard time processing the Green Smoothies. Sure could use the Blendtec's power.
Oh wow….to win this blender would be awesome. I had ordered a Vitamix a few weeks back and then canceled it because I didn't feel I could really afford it. Right now I am using an inexpensive blender to make smoothies. I am just not sure how well it will do green leafy vegetables, all I have done is frozen fruit. I have got apx. 100 lbs. to lose….this would help SO VERY MUCH!

In an exclusive interview with NBC News today, George Zimmerman's wife, Shellie, discussed her recent altercation with her husband, and expressed doubts about the outcome of the Trayvon Martin verdict.
Two weeks ago Zimmerman called police after her husband allegedly punched her father in the nose, smashed her iPad, and motioned toward what she believed was a gun. She says she "saw a look in his eyes I've never seen before" on that day. She also said that she regrets not having pressed charges against Zimmerman, but was told by police that she would have been taken to jail if she did because she's currently on probation after pleading guilty to perjury charges.
In her interview, she also says she now has doubts about the Trayvon Martin verdict.
"I think anyone would doubt that innocence. Because I don't know the person I've been married to."
Zimmerman's lawyer has been trying to serve her husband with divorce papers, but hasn't been able to track him down.

We all have our traditional kosher favorites — and for many this means Ashkenazic fare such as slow-roasted brisket, lokshen kugel, perhaps cholentssw and blintzes. Unfortunately, such kosher classics aren't always the best choices for us as we get older, especially if they are not prepared with seniors' dietary needs in mind.
"Age 50 appears to be the time when some of our nutritional needs change," says dietician Toby Smithson, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and founder of DiabetesEveryDay.com.
As our metabolisms begin to slow down, we need fewer calories. Yet at the same time, we still need food that is high in nutrients.
The challenge, then, is to get all the nutrients we need without overeating. If you are physically active, great — though most people are not scaling the same number of mountains at 60 or 70 that they were at 30. There are also specific vitamins and minerals we need more after we hit 50, Smithson says, notably potassium, calcium and vitamins B12 and D. We also need fiber, but slightly less than we do when we're younger.
Sodium is a concern in the opposite direction: too much can contribute to high blood pressure, and we need to significantly reduce consumption as we get older, to about three-quarters of a teaspoon per day (1500 milligrams). That includes both what we add to our plate and what occurs in foods naturally.
Too much sodium is a concern regarding blood pressure, and potassium helps blunt sodium's affect, Smithson explains. Calcium, coupled with vitamin D, helps with bone strength, and vitamin B12 protects against anemia. Fiber serves multiple purposes, helping with digestion and heart health, and helping to prevent certain kinds of cancer. Good sources include fruits and vegetables, as well as whole grains like oatmeal and brown rice.
As the population ages — and more and more people are living on their own, with family far away — both Jewish and secular organizations are offering food services to older adults. Kosher Meals on Wheels, for example, is a federally subsidized program that supplies a daily meal to those 60 and older who cannot easily get out of the house. In San Francisco, it is offered through Jewish Family and Children's Services.
And low-cost, on-site kosher lunch programs featuring nutrionally balanced fare are offered at most Bay Area JCCs.
In Skokie, Ill., Ted Starcevich is the program manager of home-delivered meals and Kosher to Go for CJE SeniorLife, an organization that serves older adults in the Chicago area. From 300 to 400 kosher meals are delivered to clients daily, often by volunteers who stay to visit as well.
The menus, all taste-tested by Starcevish and his staff, are sent to a state dietician for approval. "Sometimes the state dietician will come back and will tell us to switch the apple on Tuesday with the orange on Thursday, for nutritional balance," he says.
Neal Drobnis is coordinator of the Kosher Nutrition Program of Jewish Family Service of Rhode Island. The program provides both home delivery and a senior café.
"The Jewish Federation has been really supportive of this program," Drobnis says. It offers kosher lunches daily for a $3 donation and provides transportation. Most guests are in their 80s. Café meals are all kosher, as are the delivered meals, and meet federal guidelines in terms of nutrition.
"Seniors try to stay away from salt and use salt alternatives," Drobnis observes. "Everything is low sodium. In general, they stay away from sugar as well. We try to have a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables. For carbs—grains, pasta, bread—we try to use whole grains when we can. It can be very difficult with the budgetary limits to have brown rice or whole wheat pasta."
The National Osteoporosis Foundation indicates that our vitamin D needs can almost double once we hit 50, to 800 to 1000 IU per day.
"Vitamin D is needed to help keep bones strong along with calcium," Smithson says. The primary natural source of vitamin D is sunlight, but how our skin absorbs it can depend on where we live, if we use sunblock, and how much time we spend inside, an issue for shut-ins.
If you don't spend much time in the sun, you may need vitamin D supplements; check with a health care provider for the best balance. Kashrut can be an issue for some vitamin D supplements. Smithson notes that there are two kinds, D2 and D3, and "D3 is derived from ultraviolet irradiation of a substance derived from sheep's wool."
In general, the most efficient sources for the nutrients we need as we get older is food, rather than supplements. Supplements should do just that—help with what we're getting from food already. Food has the added advantage of being good for multiple nutrients. Dairy products, for example, contain both calcium and potassium.
Other good sources for potassium include beans (think cholent) and fruit, including dried apricots, prunes and raisins (tzimmes, anyone?). Dates are also a good source, along with pistachios and other nuts. (Nuts can be high in fat, so moderation is key.)
It's possible to fit a healthy diet into a kosher diet — for the most part. Brisket isn't the leanest cut of meat, but it can be reserved for special occasions. "Unfortunately the leanest cuts of beef are not kosher, so we need to have a stronger focus on cutting back on our sources of fats, especially saturated fat," Smithson says.
"Many traditional dishes can be modified," she advises. "Dishes like lokshen kugel can be made with a heat-resistant sugar substitute and egg whites to make it more heart-healthy and diabetes friendly."
"The best advice is to modify recipes, watch portion size, and add more vegetables to your meals," she adds.
Good advice as we head into our 60s, 70s and 80s. And if we make it to our 90s, that may be the time when we no longer have to worry about moderation, and we can have a second helping of brisket.
Suggested kosher menu for a day
Toby Smithson suggests the following sample kosher menu.
Breakfast: oatmeal, a glass of skim or 1 percent milk; 1 cup of berries, and a slice of whole grain toast with tub margarine, almond butter, or peanut butter
Lunch: tuna fish salad with reduced fat mayonnaise; 1 slice low fat cheese; 2 slices whole grain bread, 1 cup baby bell peppers, 1 peach or nectarine.
Snack: 3 graham cracker squares, 6 ounces low-fat vanilla yogurt sprinkled with cinnamon and chopped almonds.
Dinner: 3 ounces baked skinless chicken breast with rosemary; 1 medium sweet potato; 1 cup green beans; an orange.
Suggested heart-healthy Shabbat meal
l Chicken soup with whole grain noodles
l Cholent with more beans than meat
l A green leafy salad with bite-sized raw vegetables
l Baked sliced apples with cinnamon and sugar substitute.

Let's be real about fighting extremists
Page Tools
THE Prime Minister's meeting yesterday with 14 Islamic leaders increases hope of an end to the mutual suspicion and conspiracy of silence that until recently condemned mainstream Muslims to a lonely battle against extremists in their midst. It took the tragedy of last month's London bombings, with its confronting images of cricket-loving home-grown terrorists, to focus attention on the painful struggle of Australia's overwhelming majority of moderate Muslims, all too often sandwiched between an increasingly fearful public and radical elements adept at exploiting a perceived sense of injustice. Respected clerics, such as Sheikh Fehmi Naji el-Imam, should feel comfortable marshalling the moral support of the public at large when fighting extremists for control of Preston mosque. Islamic educators should not be quietly worrying about the toxic rhetoric of some visiting imams. Australia's Islamic community may be understandably reticent about airing dirty laundry, but with moderate Muslims the world over bearing the brunt of a deadly campaign of terror, tribal loyalty is no longer an affordable luxury. "There are a number of people in our community who are a danger to all of us not many, but some," John Howard said. "And we have an obligation to try and identify them, to neutralise them, to prevent them influencing others, particularly the young, and in the process to learn from the experience of working together effectively." The Age would add that while we must strive to marginalise the extremists, it is in our interests to ensure we embark on this process with realistic expectations and responsibilities properly apportioned.
The power of yesterday's summit lay mainly in its symbolism of a united front against a common enemy. Muslim leaders had the opportunity to publicly affirm their commitment to democratic ideals, and to tell the Federal Government how it could help crack down on the preachers of hate. The Government could in turn reassure ordinary Muslims, however devout, that they are regarded as equal and valued Australian citizens. It was also encouraging to hear the diversity of views on controversial subjects, such as the Iraq invasion while accepting that harmony at home should never be contingent on foreign policy decisions. But the politics of inclusion and exclusion, particularly regarding the summit's guest list, is an inevitably tricky affair. The entire point of the exercise is to devise ways of delegitimising extremists and yet there is always the risk that this snub might have the unfortunate effect of boosting the street cred of extremists. In a practical sense, the problem is circular: mainstream Muslim leaders have no direct authority over many of the radical imams accused of fomenting hatred, so measures designed to isolate those imams (such as the system of accreditation floated at the summit) risk being ineffectual. This is by no means a case for abandoning the summit's aims; it is merely a call for perspective. We should be wary of setting up Muslim leaders for failure by expecting them to police a 350,000-strong community of more than 60 ethnicities. If we do that, the larger battle for hearts and minds risks being lost in a tide of recrimination.

Library will benefit from challenge grant of $10,000 to boost parents fund
A group of parents of current students and alumni will contribute an additional $10,000 to the parents fund if the fund-raising goal of $96,000 is met by the end of the 2009-10 fiscal year. The fund supports the Transylvania library and last year paid for more than one-third of library acquisitions.
"It's very exciting," said Lori Burlingham, assistant director of development, who coordinates parent programs.
"The $10,000 challenge is in addition to what these parents have already given. Many other parents have also committed to increase their support to help us meet the challenge."
The parents fund exceeded its goal of $93,000 during 2008-09 by raising a record $100,595, and Burlingham hopes that trend will continue. "We'd love to see the fund exceed the $100,000 mark again this year," she said.
Gifts to the parents fund for the next three years also will count toward a challenge grant from the James Graham Brown Foundation for library expansion. The grant will be applied toward establishing an endowment for the acquisition of books, periodicals, and on-line resources to support student and faculty study and research.
The library is a vital resource for Transy students, circulating nearly 9,000 books and periodicals annually. More than 50 databases, 15,000 on-line journals, and 60,000 electronic books expand the library's holdings beyond the space constraints of the library building and are becoming ever more important. In 2007-08, for example, students and faculty members accessed electronic databases nearly 236,000 times as compared with 54,000 times in 2000-01. Subscriptions to these databases typically cost $2,500 or more per year.
For more information about the parents fund, or to make a contribution, go to www.transy.edu/giving or call Burlingham at (859) 281-3564.

We recently completed our spring portion of the With You All the Way tour. We spoke to about 15,000 kids, all of them overseas. This portion of the tour had somewhat of a bittersweet ending. The good news is that we get to rest a little bit over the summer. The bad news is that we are going to miss being around this brave group of kids for a while. Plus, a number of bases we visited are closing or consolidating, which means big changes for the military and many of the families.
We were in three cities in central Germany, Weisbaden, Heidelberg, and Stuttgart. The Heidelberg area is home to two elementary schools, Manheim Elementary school and Patrick Henry Elementary school. Manheim Elementary is closing its doors this year. Due to the army drawdown and plans for realignment in Europe, schools and bases are closing down. It has been open since 1946, and in the early nineties it had about 2,000 students. Today, there are only about 200, and those kids will be moving somewhere else next year. In fact, many are having to move now, back to the states. Many more know they are moving soon, but don't know where they are going.
We spoke to one little girl, who towards the end of the presentation, finally had the courage to say something. Her dad was currently deployed, and she and her mom were having to move to Colorado in the next couple of days. She was petrified, and rightfully so. I can't imagine have my family be uprooted to a somewhere far away while I was deployed to Afghanistan and not able to offer any help. However, because the little girl had the courage to speak up, we were able to offer some assistance and expedite shipping of her USO family empowerment pack so she could have it for her travels.
Patrick Henry Elementary school is also going to close soon. These families are really in a state of flux because they know they are going to have to move but don't know when and don't know where. Living in this state of uncertainty is causing much stress on a lot of families. We had two great presentations at Patrick Henry. The kids were so engaged and had plenty to say. One thing that stood out in particular for me though, was a shy little girl in the back who had the courage to raise her hand. We ask the kids what they learned during the video portion of our presentation. So she felt the need to say something. I asked, what she learned and very quietly but confidently said, "You don't have to be in a special group to be special." Wow, I hope everyone can learn from that.
[caption id="attachment_6976" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Trever Romain consoles a young girl during his With You All The Way tour in Vicenza, Italy, recently.[/caption]
We spent our last couple of days in Stuttgart. We had no idea how big Stuttgart was. There is about 5 million people in the city and surrounding area. Stuttgart is a beautiful city. It is where old meets new. Buildings that are 700 years old living happily with very modern buildings. We went to a school called Patch Elementary, on the Patch military base, which is a large army base. We had some really good presentations again. But we want to leave you with one email we received from a mom. It really makes us feel good about what we are doing and how important the work the USO is doing for military families:
Dear Mr. Romain. Thank you for coming to Patch Elementary School in Stuttgart. My son did not stop talking about your visit all the way home in the car. Then something happened when we got to the house. You see my husband was hurt and he lost part of his leg and my son seems ashamed and angry about what happened. He always wanted to take his anger out by himself and stay locked in his room alone and did not want to deal with his dad. And it was so hard for my husband. He said that kind of pain was worse than his injury. Today when he came home my son wrote a letter to his dad and said he loved him and wanted to help him get better. I'm not sure what you said to him but thank you and Mr. Woody and the USO for your presentation and for helping our kids on the bases. You just don't know how much it means to us. I cannot thank you enough for your help.
- Trevor Romain, Performer, Author & USO Supporter

New Zealand is in for an interesting summer of cricket, with the Black Caps set to face alleged match-tamperers Pakistan in Twenty20, Tests and ODIs.
The Black Caps have struggled for form in recent outings and were humbled by cricketing minnows Bangladesh, who whitewashed them in a one-day series.
John Wright has replaced Mark Greatbatch as coach. He has said his focus is on running a team "that fights."
