Alan Krause traveled a great distance from his home in Steamboat Springs this month to give away $50,000.
Krause is president of natural resources, industry and infrastructure for MWH Global, an environmental engineering firm with clients on six continents. Krause was in Pakistan this month to hand deliver a $50,000 check for earthquake relief to President Pervez Musharraf.
MWH has been working in Pakistan for more than 50 years. The company is working today on several reservoirs, for hydroelectric power and irrigation, that figure prominently in President Musharraf's vision for meeting his country's water needs for decades to come.
Krause guesses that most Americans, focused on news stories of Islamic extremism, grossly underestimate the sophistication of Pakistan and its leaders, as well as its rapidly growing economy.
"It's a strange place to work -- it's a crossroads for (American interests)," Krause said. "The U.S. is an incredible supplier of everything for them right now.
"Our company is going to continue to invest in Pakistan -- we have through a number of governments."
Krause's primary office is in MWH's Chicago headquarters, where he oversees a $250 million budget and 2,000 employees in 53 offices around the world. Yet, the company maintains a growing office in Steamboat, and Krause is happiest when he's in his office in the Pine Grove Center. It's a location that allows him to spend the lunch hour training for Nordic ski races.
"This office had a turn down after 2001, but it's growing again, and we're looking for engineers," Krause said. "We have about 30 people right now."
John Redmond is manager of the Steamboat office of MWH. Pat Corser, who oversees global mining work for the Steamboat office, recently returned from a visit to a gold mine in Romania. Engineers in the Steamboat office also are consulting on projects in Peru, Indonesia and Australia, Krause said.
The story of how one of the country's largest engineering firms (it did $1 billion in revenues last year) came to have a presence in Steamboat is a little different from the now familiar saga -- "corporate executive buys vacation home in ski town, begins to commute electronically." Krause came here about 15 years ago to assume leadership of a much smaller engineering firm, ACZ Inc. The company changed its name to TerraMatrix in 1993 and was subsequently merged with Montgomery Watson and, finally, Montgomery Watson merged with Harza Engineering Company -- thus the name MWH.
Krause, while remaining in Steamboat, took on increasingly bigger roles and more responsibility with the engineering giant that had acquired his little company. MWH employs more than 6,000 engineers and scientists in civil, structural, mechanical and geotechnical engineering. The company was ranked first in the world for consulting engineering services in the hydropower field by Engineering News Record magazine.
Harza joined two British engineering companies in 1957 to work on the Mangla Dam in Pakistan. The company's relationship with Pakistan's version of Americans Bureau of Reclamation has continued since.
The Web site of the Pakistani government reports that the country has significant water resources but insuffi-
cient storage capacity. Out of 77 million acres of irrigable land, just 44.4 million acres are being irrigated.
Krause said the country has very little oil and is nervous about its dependence on foreign energy. Musharraf has set a goal of flipping Pakistan's reliance on petroleum for 60 percent of its energy and on hydropower for 40 percent to 60 percent hydro and 40 percent petroleum by 2020.
Pakistan has ample opportunity to create new reservoirs on tributaries of the Indus River, Krause said. However, the Pakistani government's Web page says it has not built a new dam in 30 years.
"We are moving from a water-abundant to water-scarce country," Musharraf's Vision 2020 plan reports. The Pakistani president thinks his country must add 18 million to 20 million acre-feet of storage by 2020 to avoid severe water shortages.
MWH is consulting on two dams, Kalabagh (due to be completed in 2012) and Bhasha (due to be completed in 2016) that would help realize that goal.
Krause said his company is committed to building water storage and resource extraction projects around the globe in sustainable ways. He doesn't argue that new dams on tributaries of the world's great rivers, such as the Indus, don't negatively affect watersheds. But before you can understand the incredible thirst for resources in developing nations, you have to visit them, he said.
"You've got to go there and see it," he said.
When the effects of renewable water projects are compared with those of burning low-quality coal, for example, large hydroelectric projects look more desirable, he said.
In every country where it works, MWH prepares detailed environmental impact statements for its clients. Large, publicly held natural resource extraction companies are more interested in sustainability, both resource and social sustainability, than most people give them credit for, Krause said.
"They understand that they can make a lot of money today, but it will disappear down the road if they don't deal with sustainability up front," he said.
To be sure, those publicly held companies are driven by the quarterly earnings report and the goal of performing for shareholders, but if those goals lead to sustainable projects, it's beneficial to society, Krause said.
One of his clients is working to find ways to spread the wealth of a copper mining project in Peru to indigenous people, he said. And it isn't an easy problem to solve.
Globally, half of MWH's employees are natives of the countries where they work. The company's goal in Pakistan is to have a Pakistani staff so that it isn't perceived as an American company.
Earthquake relief
MWH manages a philanthropic arm called the MWH Caring Foundation.
When Krause learned the unofficial death toll in last year's earthquakes in northern Pakistan was 87,000, but the unofficial count was 120,000, he decided to ask his company to make a donation. He was determined to ensure the money went to earthquake relief. For that reason, he sought a meeting with Musharraf.
The two men discussed natural resources policy and MWH for about 30 minutes, Krause said.
At the end of their conversation, President Musharraf offered assurances that the $50,000 from MWH would go to its intended cause.


text: Maine's first same sex marriages will take place Saturday.It's the first day that will be legal in Maine.Several town offices around the state will be open to facilitate marriages."The city clerk's office will be open tomorrow from 6a.m. to 8a.m. to process marriage license applications for all people who are consenting adults, over the age of 18, regardless of orientation,†says Joe Baldacci of the Bangor City Council.Maine voters made it legal in November for the state to recognize same-sex couples as legally married as of December 29.Many town offices around Maine will be issuing legal documents.In honor of the new law, Bangor will be offering services to marry people on the spot."All are welcome who wish to get married tomorrow and there will be some volunteer notaries, in case they are needed to officiate and perform ceremonies, so, for those two hours we will be implementing the new law for the first time,†says Baldacci.The usual $200 marriage fee will be waived.The offer is good to anybody that wants to get hitched Saturday.The marriage license does cost $40.Everyone wishing to get married should make sure to bring to correct documents with them. "What they'd need to do is to bring their IDs, photo IDs. If there's been a previous marriage for either one, they would have to show us how that marriage ended, whether it was divorce or death. They would have to be a resident, one of them would have to be a resident of Bangor, or if you're coming from another state, you can come to any town office within the state," said the Deputy City Clerk of Bangor, Diane Lovejoy.She thinks the day will be a milestone for many.â€I know many of the couple I have spoken with have been together for many, many years and this kind of makes it fun for them. That's kind of nice that we were able to do it,†said Lovejoy.Sue Estler and Paula Johnson of Orono know what it feels like to wait for many years."Well, after 24 years, we're getting married tomorrow,†said Estler.Getting married was something they never envisioned a legal wedding back 20 years ago."It was beyond what we could have imagined at the time,†said Estler."Mostly, because I think people have difficulty wrapping their heads around it. You know, the same-sex idea, "said Johnson.They'll be married at their home in front of family and friends. Doing so on the first day the new law is recognized will always be a reminder of how far their relationship has come."Obviously, Maine people have come to understand in a very different way and accept our relationship in a different way,†said Estler."It feels really good. Really, a big, big change,' said Johnson.

Mediterranean Style Greens
Mediterranean Style Greens
Chef Jonathan Bohn, Decoy Bar and Grill
Serves two
3 heads assorted seasonal greens, rinsed, ribbed, and chiffonade
4 cloves garlic, sliced thin lengthwise
2 C extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, or olive oil blend
1 T crushed chili flakes
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Salt and pepper, to taste
Start by heating up 1 C of the oil in a large sauce pan on high heat. Add the greens slowly, being careful to avoid grease splatters. Add salt and pepper, and stir the greens until they are evenly covered with oil. Cover and reduce heat to medium high. Let cook for five minutes, then stir and recover. Repeat this process until the stems of the greens are tender when squeezed between the fingers. Remove from heat and place greens in a serving bowl, piled high. Place the pan back on the heat and add the rest of the oil. When the oil has started to heat up, add the garlic and chili flake. Use a spatula or tongs to keep the garlic and flakes frying gently in a pool of oil. It also helps to tilt the pan to collect the oil in one spot. Let the garlic fry gently until it is translucent, and the flakes have infused a rust colored hue to the oil. Cut the heat and pour the mixture over the greens. Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy!

John McCain says he was a puppet for the Republican National Committee and therefore should not be held accountable for a presidential campaign commercial that used the popular song "Running on Empty" by Jackson Browne without permission.
But the Los Angeles federal judge presiding over the copyright-infringement case was not buying it. The judge refused late Friday to remove the Arizona senator from the lawsuit in which he and the Republican National Committee are accused of violating the rights to Browne's 1977 hit.
Here's what McCain told the judge (.pdf) handling the case:
I was not involved at all in any way in the writing, creation, production, distribution or dissemination of the video, nor do I have any knowledge whatsoever of how this video was written, created, produced or disseminated or who was involved in any aspect of the writing, creation, production, distribution or dissemination of the video. I was completely unaware that this video even existed until I was informed of it after this lawsuit was filed.
Despite McCain's claims of being a hapless dupe for his party, U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner said (.pdf) the RNC and McCain were so intertwined — what the judge called an "agency relationship" — that McCain stays in the case. The judge wrote that, even if McCain's statement were true, "once an agency relationship is established, the principal is liable for the acts of her agent, even if the principal does not expressly authorize or instruct her agent to take any action."
The judge also did not agree with the Republicans and McCain that Browne's lawsuit was bogus. Among other things, the judge kept the lawsuit alive to give the defendants a chance to demonstrate how using about 20 seconds of the song in the commercial was a fair use.
The August commercial was broadcast on YouTube and cable television. It played Browne's music in a McCain commercial criticizing Barack Obama's energy policy. The song was purchased on iTunes.
Browne claims that the commercial falsely suggested he endorsed McCain and the Republican Party. "Nothing could be further from the truth," Browne said.
The judge scheduled an April 20 hearing to determine how to proceed with Browne's lawsuit. The ad initially ran in Ohio, but the Ohio Republican Party was removed from the case.

Lindsay Lohan Wants Her Sex List Stories Made Into A Book
- Peter Black , Design & Trend Staff Writer
- Aug, 05, 2014, 05:39 PM
- email@example.com
The world may get to experience Lindsay Lohan's drinking, drugging and sexing adventures in book form.
According to the Radar, the 28-year-old starlet is determined that the masses know of every exceptional detail of her extraordinary life, having already "held meetings at major publishing houses in London recently," an insider said.
Lohan's tales of horrid debauchery apparently impressed the publishers. According to the source, "The stories she promised the literary agents made their jaws drop."
Indeed, Lohan has been known to tell extravagant tales of misery and woe, although it's unclear which, if any, are true. She certainly isn't afraid to make herself look like a complete fool, as evidenced by her release of her celebrity sex list.
"She's prepared to put everything out there, and has already proved she's not shy with the list of men she claims to have slept with," said the insider.
Several of the men on the list vehemently denied Lohan's claim to bang. James Franco even wrote a short story about him and the "Mean Girls" actress NOT having sex.
Lohan won't write the book; she believes that only the world's most famous authors are worthy of penning her tales of lascivious depravity. If she can't get E.L. James ("50 Shades of Grey"), Lohan figures she will have to settle for J.K. Rowling.
"It may seem unlikely, but she thinks she's in with a shot of getting (Fifty Shades of Grey) E.L. James to work on it - they met recently at the Chiltern Firehouse and got on well," the insider said. 'Another pie in the sky idea was that she might persuade J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) to work with her."
The book could prove an essential paycheck for Lohan, who is apparently broke from partying like a maniac in London, where she is starring in David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow."

Sarah Stewart, a recent graduate of the University of Florida, has joined our staff as a feature writer. Sarah is a sports junkie who loves the Gators and college football. She will be writing feature stories about potential recruits, plus in the fall she will be covering the Gators nationally ranked soccer team as well as Florida's volleyball team, which will be a serious contender for the 2005 NCAA championship. Sarah has written for the Sebastian Sun, Press Journal (Verob Beach), Orange & Blue magazine, and the Independent Florida Alligator. She was also a National Merit Scholar, so we're excited to have her join us.
In the next couple of weeks, we'll be announcing some other staff additions to go with our already strong staff of Franz Beard, Bob Redman, Mark McLeod, Larry Vettel, David Shepherd and Brady Ackerman.
We'll also be rolling out several new features including Gator oriented blogs such as We Are The Boys which covers Gator football. We're currently beta testing some new features that will revolutionize the way collegiate sports are covered. We're always breaking new ground for you.
This year Gator Country will cover Florida football and basketball like never before. Our always great recruiting coverage will only be better thanks to our new staffers and our increased coverage from Scout.com, proud sponsors of the US Army All-Ameircan Game in San Antonio, the dream game for every high school football player in the nation. Our increased staff will allow us to cover all Gator sports. Gator Country's goal is that every Florida fan anywhere in the world can turn to our site to find reports and analysis of every Gator game or match. If the Gators play it, no matter the sport, our goal is to be there to give Gator fans the best possible coverage of our Florida teams and athletes..
So, please welcome Matt Zemek back and give a good Gator Country welcome to Sarah Stewart.

Woes of the Traveling Athlete
Staying fit while on vacation is always a struggle. You're out of your element, your schedule is different, you don't have your usual equipment, you probably want to be lazy and skip it. But you don't have to. I firmly believe that continuing my routine on vacation is how I avoid the dreaded vacation weight gain.
When I'm traveling I do my best to pick hotels that have a gym. I do my research and book accordingly. It doesn't always work that way. When there isn't a gym option and maybe the weather is a little iffy, I have two choices. The first is to suck it up and go for a run in the rain anyways or to do a workout in the hotel room using the Nike Training Club app.
What are the woes of a traveling athlete? Sometimes it can be a hassle to make it work. First, you have to plan ahead. This could mean figuring out gym access, running routes, researching places to hike, etc. Second, sometimes you DO need a break. So plan that accordingly, too. What are some of the other challenges I've noticed? See below:
All of the casinos I've stayed in have had pretty decent gyms in the hotel.
The woe of Vegas? BESIDES the decadence and overindulging…You almost always have to pay extra to use the gym. The last time I went to Vegas I paid to use the gym and was glad I did. Michael was usually staying up late playing poker and I'd get up at my normal time and have a good hour or so to kill. I headed down to the gym and got my workout out of the way.
Vegas is a good place to stay fit, ironically. If you don't want to spend the money on the gym access, you can always go for a run on The Strip. That was a GREAT experience for me! So much fun! We were staying at The Palms and I just went for a run around the hotel. I got to see things I normally wouldn't see by doing this. If you're not a runner, don't worry. You will get TONS of exercise simply walking everywhere in Vegas. The Strip is deceptively long and you end up walking probably 10 miles a day.
Running along the beach in Kona was amazing–one of my favorite memories of our trip to Hawaii beside swimming in the ocean (so much better than the pool at the gym). If running and swimming aren't for you, what about kettle bells?
The woe of Hawaii? Michael decided to bring his 20 pound kettle bell to Hawaii with the intention of working out in the morning, which he did a few times. He packed the kettle bell in his carry-on and had no issues going through security on the way to Hawaii, but returning, the Hawaiian TSA was very concerned about it. They wanted to know what it was, why he brought it and eventually made him take it out and check it like a suitcase. He was annoyed at having to pay TWICE for the luggage when he could have put the kettle bell in his suitcase and save $20 and he was also worried that he wasn't going to get the kettle bell once we arrived in Portland. We stood at the baggage claim for a long time before it finally came out. A lone kettle bell with a tag on it.
I love Austin. What a cool city. The culture, the food, the sites. There is so much to do and see there and I definitely felt like I was "at home." People say that Austin is just like Portland, but hotter, and I felt like that was a pretty accurate statement the few times I've been there.
The woe of Austin? THE FREAKIN' HEAT. Wowza. It was so hot every time we've been there (which is twice, LOL). The last time we went there for our anniversary after Michael's sister's wedding it was in 107 degree territory. That was way too hot for me to go for a run, or for us to really go for a hike (which we did do a small hike once), so I had to think of something else I could do. I found Barton Springs, which was a natural spring they turned into a "pool." It was a nice alternative to a sweaty, dizzy run in 100 degree heat.
Make It Work
The good news is that you can usually make SOMETHING work. It may not be ideal (like doing crunches in your hotel room) and it may not be what you wanted to do (like weight lifting, but there's only cardio machines available). My motto is that something is better than nothing. Even if it's an evening walk or a quick swim in a hotel pool, doing something to move your body will make you feel better.
So what are some of the fitness hassles and challenges you've encountered while traveling?

I still brag about going to the states for 3 weeks and losing weight. My tips
– walk everywhere, or take public transport. You see more, you meet locals, and you get exercise
– find a supermarket and buy fresh fruit for your snacks. Saves money, too!
– order a starter and a side salad. It's plenty of food
– try the local food, but not for every meal. I picked what was important to me (In 'n' Out burger, OMG) and ate healthy the rest of the time
– ask for everything in a small. The thing that threw me off is that I was automatically given a large for everything. Even more concerning was that what I thought was a large wasn't even the biggest size. Yikes. Kids size, small, snack size, are all words to look for.
– eat a big breakfast, a snack, and dinner. Worked for me, plus there was more time for sight seeing!
Hope that helps someone!
I don't get to travel a whole lot, but these are some good tips. I can't believe they charge you extra to use the gym! What a rip-off!
I don't worry about gym workouts when we vacation. I know we will be getting tons of walking in, since that's what we do. If we have a hotel with a gym, that's a bonus, but we don't look for that because we like to stay in bed and breakfasts now if we can, which usually don't have gyms LOL!
We brought our bikes on our long vacation earlier this year, and honestly it was kind of a PITA. We researched some trails ahead of time, but the hassle of packing and unpacking the bikes from the car each day was not really worth the amount of riding time we had.

Govt may take final call on coal price pooling on Monday
Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia recently had said that coal pool pricing may lead to revision in power tariffs.
New Delhi: The government may take a final decision on Monday on blending of prices of imported coal and domestically-produced fuel or price pooling of coal. "The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) may meet on April 22 to discuss coal price-pooling," a government official said.
Price-pooling is the averaging of prices of domestic and imported coal to get a uniform feedstock price. Finance Minister P Chidambaram had earlier said the Cabinet will take a view on price-pooling of coal to address the fuel supply issue.
Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia recently had said that coal pool pricing may lead to revision in power tariffs.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs in February had approved in-principle the price pooling mechanism. A final decision on the issue is pending due to differences between the ministries of coal and power on how the impact of higher imported coal prices will be shared between Coal India (CIL) and power companies.
The Prime Minister's Office had earlier directed CIL and Central Electricity Authority (CEA) to work on pooling coal prices to ensure 80 per cent supplies to power plants.

Masking jape
BBC Sport Online picks out some of the quirky, offbeat or plain daft stories doing the rounds.
Masking jape
Charlton fans did not get any chance to use their Zorro masks, which were issued to the 4,000 who travelled across London to watch their fourth round FA Cup tie against Fulham on Sunday.
The plan was the brainchild of the Addicks' supporters club as a mickey-take of Fulham striker Facundo Sava - the master of cunning disguise.
Sava puts on a mask pulled from his sock every time he scores, with Premiership fans first witnessing the celebration during Fulham's 1-0 win over Charlton in October.
Charlton boss Alan Curbishley, who insisted his staff wouldn't be joining in, said: "It will be nice just to see it if we do score, but it's just a bit of fun.
"Our fans have been fantastic this year and it will help make an atmosphere there."
The good news was that Sava didn't score - the bad news was that Charlton didn't either as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat.
Franziska van sea-sick
Five-times European swimming champion Franziska van Almsick has revealed she is scared of water.
Sea water, that is. The German claims she's not keen on taking a dip in the ocean because she doesn't know what's lurking underneath the surface.
Van Almsick, who won five golds at the 2002 European Swimming Championships, told German women's magazine, Gala: "I am terrified at having to swim in the open sea."
"I would never dare to go that far out from the shores, because I am dead scared when I don't know what's underneath my feet."
Speaking to German women's magazine, Gala, she added: "I get shivers already imagining that a slimy fish could touch or even attack me."
Van Almsick has just filmed a TV commercial which shows her swimming from Europe to the US.
It's amazing how a wad of cash can help soften the blow.

371 project faces hit from potential state shutdown
The Highway 371 project is ahead of schedule, but a state government shutdown could change that.
The $8.4 million road improvement project between Baxter and Nisswa was scheduled for an Aug. 31 completion date. Anderson Brothers Construction of Brainerd, the primary contractor for the project, was on track to have paving completed between July 4-8. Now Anderson Brothers and other contractors across the state are advised to plan for an eight-week shutdown.
"With the state talking about shutting down, that is going to impact our schedule because we won't be able to do any work out there at all," said Mike Niemi, Anderson Brothers project manager. "That will greatly impact our project and our company as a whole."
Next week, instead of moving forward with the road construction, efforts will be on wrapping things up for the traveling public. So — just in case the shutdown happens on July 1 — road projects will be ready to sit idle for an indefinite period of time. How big of an impact depends on how long the potential shutdown lasts.
If the days add up, contractors from a variety of projects have told the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the shutdown may lead to layoffs.
For Anderson Brothers, there may be other county projects to work on, but any that have state involvement become a problem. Without state inspectors to authorize work at the job sites, contractors could not expect to complete work and get paid for it.
At MnDOT about 10 people are working on the Highway 371 project. Wednesday marked a flurry of meetings MnDOT planned for a possible shutdown.
Paul Konickson, MnDOT project engineer, said there are many unknowns. Contractors have asked if they will be held to completion dates and possible penalties if deadlines can't be met with lost work days. Konickson said it's one of a number of questions they can't answer yet as much is still up in the air.
The shutdown comes with added cost. Temporary striping used for the road construction for the Highway 371 project will be replaced with a heavier, more permanent striping so it will last longer without maintenance. Konickson said he couldn't say exactly how much that will add to the project's cost. Three center turn lanes north of Nisswa — at Roy Lake Road, County Highway 29 and County Road 168 — won't be started.
The turn lanes are the biggest delay so far as work would have started on those projects without the specter of the shutdown. Anderson Brothers put a lot of resources into the project to get it done to beat the summer rush.
Crews began resurfacing the highway — from just south of Highway 210 in Baxter to Nisswa on May 9.
This project also includes constructing shoulders and turn lanes, upgrading traffic signals and closing median crossovers.
To be most efficient and avoid summer traffic, night work on the project in Baxter was set up to run from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily with no construction on weekends.
Even a rain-soaked spring and early summer hasn't delayed the project, until recent days.
"We've been pretty fortunate," Niemi said. "It's rained on the weekends and not during the week."
The Highway 371 contract allowed Anderson Brothers to bring back a full complement of workers this spring. Subcontractors have also been busy with work. Crow Wing County previously stated there may be county projects .
Niemi said it's the unknown that puts everything in limbo.
"We can't really go anywhere because we don't know how long the shutdown is going to last," Niemi said. "With the uncertainty of that, it's tough to make a decision on what we can or can't do."
Highway 371 is a highly visible project, but the proposed shutdown will cover a lot of ground. Judy Jacobs, MnDOT communications specialist, said a shutdown means permits MnDOT issued for events on state highways are no longer in effect after July 1 whether that's a Fourth of July parade or volunteers who pick up and bag litter.
Niemi said: "It's going to affect a lot more people than just road construction."

Salon cushion redo
Hello everyone, to catch u guys up, we bought our 42CC Beneteau a few months ago and getting ready to leave for the Bahamas. We are docked in Kemah TX, Waterford Marina. After spending the last 3 months getting use to liveaboard,I have a major issue that needs correcting before leaving. Even though the cushions in the salon area look and feel wonderful, they are sooooo uncomfortable. I do not sew. What has others done to make the cushions more comfortable?
Re: Salon cushion redo
Change out the foam. It is not cheap though. Use two different density foams. The top layer should be less dense. Check with Sailrite. They can help you out with this.
Salon cushion redo
Thanks for the info, but has anyone totally removed the salon table and place 2 chairs in the place of the salon table? If so, do you have pictures of the end results and how did you accomplish this?
Re: Salon cushion redo
Keep in mind that you can use any upholstery company to do the change - it doesn't have to be a marine related company.
Opening up your cushions on the back and changing the foam is not near as bad as having them remade. Check for a local "JoAnn's" or whatever your area has for a major sewing shop and make a visit, maybe they have a bulletin board that has folks listed that do that kind of work on the side. The folks at the sewing store can give you advice and how to's if you want to do it yourself - right up to what kind of foam, in what thickness and layering you need to get the cushions to be what you want.
IF you want to re-do the cushions Beneteau builds in the US, and may have shared out patterns. Check around and see if they have a company that works with them and you may find a less expensive option.
When we had our previous/previous boat redone (a hunter) we found a company that did the entire set from bow to stern for 1800 bucks, quality work and everything fit exactly because they had the pattern already.
Salon cushion redo
Thanks chuckles, i will look into it, but do you know anyone that ditched the salon table and just made 2 comfortable chairs or recliners that would not interfere with the items that are under the cushions?
Re: Salon cushion redo
CaptainsWench ....
You are suggesting if I'm correct that it is not really the quality of the cushioning but the overal design of the seating, as in it is not close enough to a proper sitting room lounge chair ?
I'm not at all sure what you are planning but there are a number of European builders who have chairs to starboard and settee/dinette to port. Two builders to check out would be Malo (http://www.maloyachts.se)and Hallberg Rassy (Hallberg-Rassy - Sturdy construction, superb craftsmanship and signature seaworthiness).
Otoh, if what you are planning is what it seems on the surface I confess that to me it sounds really dumb but maybe I am misunderstanding your intentions.
Re: Salon cushion redo
We looked at a whitby 42 that had one of the settee's pulled out and two (seriously) automobile seats installed (seat belts and all).
Not a look I favor.
Pulling out the table means you are pulling out the only large flat space available. Not a option I'd like either.
Re: Salon cushion redo
if you do want new foam, check out THE FOAM STORE. they have the best prices I've found around here(kemah). Is the seatback too striaght, or the bottoms too shallow? Maybe you could go with thinner foam in the backs, or cut to a wedge shape. That would need only minor adjustments to the covers. For extending the bottoms....it can be done. As for the other. I don't have a table; I can put out lawn chairs in my salon. I'm thinking of hanging a disco ball up in here; but, what I really, really want is a table! just sayin...
Salon cushion redo
No chuckles, trying to get cushions more comfortable as in a chair would be. I was afraid if the cushions were thicker, then the table may be in the way. I think we will try getting thicker cushions as you suggested. Thanks
Salon cushion redo
Thanks Mark, but I do want new foam.

Lean Back and Shop: How the iPad is Disrupting Retail
If you want to understand how the iPad is changing the ways people shop, take a look at fast-growing online retailer Fab.com. Their CEO Jason Goldberg reported that they expect each new iPad user to bring in twice the revenue of non-iPad users. Moreover, Goldberg said that a sale results 6.5% of the time after a user opens the Fab iPad app, an impressive rate.
Fab is not an outlier, as many other retailers are seeing big growth in sales on the iPad. Comcore just announced an 'inflection point' for mobile commerce with one third of visitors to the top 50 retailer websites coming exclusively from mobile, while tablets index 50% higher than smartphones for browsing apparel and home furnishings categories. Last holiday season, IBM reported that the iPad made up nearly 10% of online purchases of retail products. Meanwhile Adobe has reported that shoppers are three times more likely to make a purchase when shopping with a tablet.
After the iPad's launch three years ago, some of the first retail companies to take advantage of this new shopping platform were flash sale sites like Rue La La and Haute Look. These companies realized early on the importance of mobile devices, due to the nature of their business: time-sensitive emailed deals that motivated shoppers to buy immediately using the device in hand. These companies soon learned that Apple's iOS made up to 90% of their mobile installed base, so as iPad ownership grew, these mobile-savvy companies quickly responded by building iPad-optimized websites and apps.
Why do Apple iOS owners buy more than Android and other phone owners? First of all, there are demographic reasons. Apple devices are more expensive and their owners generally have greater amounts of disposable income. Another factor is that Apple owners are often interested in product design, which lends itself toward purchases of high-ticket items in apparel and home furnishings. Furthermore, the more intuitive user interface of Apple devices can make it easier for non-technical people to navigate through the shopping and purchase process.
Let's examine why the iPad produces so many more sales than the iPhone. One obvious reason is that the large and densely pixeled screen allows for a deeper examination of products such as enhancing product photos. Second, location matters, since most iPad purchases happen at home: there is something comfortable about the experience of swiping a screen while leaning back on a sofa or chair. In fact, the touch screen's tactile feel may be the closest thing that technology can offer to touching actual products in a store. While the precise causes for the iPad's shopping success are still being deciphered, the numbers make it clear that neither the PC nor the phone can compete.
In terms of what retailers are doing today, iPad innovation has just gotten started. Many of the current iPad apps have a conventional e-commerce web-style design focused on search and category browsing. For the largest retailers with catalogs of hundreds of thousands of items (think Amazon or eBay) this may make sense, but more specialized retailers are discovering creative ways to engage their customers while shopping [delete "while shopping" since obvious]. Some apps use 3D imagery that allow the user to rotate the product and view from any angle. Others are integrating video clips of the product being worn or used by models. There are iPad apps that allow users to photograph themselves and see an overlay of the product on top of their own image. The camera can also help users with color and pattern matching: a user can photograph an item in their home and view matching items that are for sale.
A side benefit for retailers who offer shopping on iPad is the ability to learn detailed information about how consumers shop. When users touches the screen to zoom in on a photo, they are leaving a record of precisely what aspect of the product they found most interesting (a handbag versus a shirt, for example). This data can be used to provide immediate personalization of the shopping experience and can also be rolled up into historical 'big data' sets for backend business optimization of everything from pricing to inventory management to product selection.
What's the takeaway for the retail industry if iPad users are converting into shoppers at three times the rate of other users? By optimizing their iPad strategy, the largest retailers may soon see a jump in hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

text: Hey TDH! Got an armor question. Been debating how I'm gonna attach the armor to the vest and what not and I really got into the idea of using magnets (like RKD) so as not to put any holes in the vest. I've heard it's much more successful than Velcrow (which people seem to avoid) but I would like to know "how successful". Does anyone know how sturdy the magnet system is and how well armor stays in place? If anyone has a different idea that may prove better is welcome to chime in but I'd really like to use magnets if they are strong enough!

Two ideas. One is to put the locals in a separate .do file
which you can -include- ; see the brilliantly outlined details
Another solution is to use something like this bit of code which
will write out all of the current locals to a file which you
can then -include- in order to recover them.
*------------- save locals ------------------
capture log close
log using mylocals.txt, text replace
macro list
log close
file open logfile using mylocals.txt, text read
file open mylocals using mylocals.do, text replace write
file read logfile line
while r(eof)==0 {
local lname : word 1 of `line'
if strpos("`lname'","_")==1 {
local lval : subinstr local line "`lname'" ""
local lval=trim("`lval'")
local lname : subinstr local lname "_" ""
local lname : subinstr local lname ":" ""
file write mylocals "local `lname' " _char(34) "`lval'" _char(34) _n
file read logfile line
file close logfile
file close mylocals

Hi Statalisters,
I'm looking for a way to preserve locals while writing or debugging a
do-file .
An example:
I create a series of graphs in a loop.
Graph parameters are provided by locals
which are set inside the loop or somewhere else in the do-file.
Graph layout sometimes needs a lot of fine-tuning and visual checks.
Before running the graph again I have to redefine locals either
by running the whole do-file or by temporarily defining all locals
just above the graph command. Both alternatives are not very convenient.
A complementary command restores the locals and makes them available for
the graph.
Anything already available or any ideas (beside "use globals")? ;-)
Stefan Gawrich
Simple code example
sysuse auto, clear
local filename "auto.dta"
local foreign = 1
forval x = 1/5 {
lpres // preserves locals for the session and breaks at run 1
To run while working on the graph:
lrest // restores locals
hist length if foreign == `foreign' & rep78 == `x', ///

Dalton McGuinty Always Did the Right, Not Easy Thing
A man who did the right thing, not the easy thing. That's how I'll remember Dalton McGuinty's time in office. From social to fiscal policy, this remains true of Ontario's 24th premier.
Despite the initial unpopularity of the measure, McGuinty's Liberal government introduced a harmonized sales tax, reducing government bureaucracy and creating thousands of jobs in the process. Unthinkably, Tim Hudak's Progressive Conservatives opposed the measure while refusing to pledge to repeal it if they were to form a government.
The HST did more than generate much-needed additional revenue for a cash-straddled government in the wake of a recession. It also created a more collaborative environment for federal-provincial relations.

Instead of a system of "watertight compartments," Queen's Park and Ottawa are now capable of sitting down and negotiating change when need be. This will be particularly important as a demographic shift is about to take hold, rendering Canada's population collectively older -- a culture of cooperation will be needed if the provinces and the feds are to sit down to reform health care and other services together to make them more affordable for the taxpayer.
The HST killed Gordon Campbell's premiership. But Dalton McGuinty stuck with it. And Ontario has now recovered 134 per cent of the jobs it lost in the recession in additional to competitive corporate tax rates to boot.
It is no secret that the province of Ontario is cash-straddled. Every province will be short on revenue in the coming decades as the cost of health care, in particular, increases. Yet Dalton McGuinty understood one of the key tenets of governance -- short-term pain for long-term gain. A similar philosophy was visible in the Liberal government's difficult choices to balance the federal budget in the 1990s, a move that is largely responsible for the country's strong economic performance today.
In this instance, Premier McGuinty made the strenuous decision to increase taxes in order to make important investments in health care. Ontario now has the lowest surgical wait-times in the country, giving the province much-needed breathing room when it comes to the complicated choices that will need to be made over the coming decade when it comes to health care reform.
Yet it was not merely pragmatic decisions that characterized Premier McGuinty's tenure. Liberal values also defined his government, even after it was reduced to minority status.
Despite the controversy of the measure, Premier McGuinty made it clear that gay-straight alliances must be permitted in all school receiving public funding. McGuinty was prepared to lose political allies in order to do the right thing, something that has also clearly been the case with regards to freezing public sector wages. This is yet another vital quality that only true leaders possess.
Finally, political expediency was abandoned in favour of values-based decisions by McGuinty when it came to national issues as well.
While federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair -- a Quebec MP and the supposed leader of the province's federalist forces -- refused to even state that he'd prefer the victory of a federalist party in Quebec's recent provincial election, Dalton McGuinty openly came out in favour of Jean Charest and Canadian unity.
Brushing aside the political popularity of the Harper government's tough-on-crime positions, McGuinty stated with pride at the federal Liberal Party biennial convention this past January that at a time of decreasing crime and increasing global economic competition, the smart decision made by a government is to invest most heavily in education and not in building prisons.
McGuinty said it himself the night he was elected to a third term as premier: Liberalism is still alive in Canada. Thanks to McGuinty's accomplishments as premier, liberalism over the long term in our country has been given the ability to thrive.
When you lead Canada's biggest province for nine years you're bound to have some missteps. Former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty has had his share of scandals and mistakes. We highlight a few that caused him more headaches than usual. Photo: Ontario Liberal Party
Back in 2004, a relatively new Liberal government under Premier Dalton McGuinty was forced to go back on a campaign promise not to raise taxes and instituted a health premium of between $300-$900. Photo: Alamy
In 2006, the Liberals tried to announce a new $46-billion energy plan that would see renovations of many of Ontario's power plants. But the plan became a problem for the Liberals when the Globe and Mail revealed that the government tried to exempt their plans from environmental assessments. Photo: Shutterstock
The government's plans to modernize medical records in the province ran into massive scandal when reports of overspending, waste and possible conflict of interest were revealed at eHealth, the agency responsible for building a new electronic records system. The scandal forced the resignation of Health Minister David Caplan. Photo: Shutterstock
Dalton McGuinty and the Liberals were criticized for laws giving police greater powers to ensure security during the G20 in 2010. The laws were seen by civil rights groups as draconian. Andre Marin, Ontario's ombudsman also criticized the government calling the laws and police action a massive violation of civil rights. Photo: AP Files/Carolyn Kaster
Ontario's air ambulance service, Ornge, caused another headache for McGuinty's Liberals after reports of financial irregularities, cost overruns, huge salaries for managers being kept secret and reports of kickbacks began to emerge in the media. Photo: CP/Globe and Mail
Hobbled by scandal and facing a resurgent Conservatives in the 2011 provincial election, the Liberals cancelled two power plants in the GTA despite the fact it would cost taxpayers several hundred million dollars. Ontario's auditor general estimates those costs could climb to $1.1 billion. Photo: Michelle Siu/CP
