Stupid Boat Tricks
The 4th of July thread got me thinking. I have the perfect slip for the 4th of July. Unfortunately, a nice doctor from Alabama chartered my boat this week so I won't be able to use the slip or the boat.
First boat tricks.
When in my slip and sitting in the stern, I can look at a boat ramp. Actually, 6 lanes into the water about 200' away. Normally just a few boats at a time using the ramp. However, on the 4th of July they start lining up about 6:00 AM and by 9:00 the line is about a mile long. Tempers tend to flare, people do great jobs of backing up and into things, husbands yell at wives, wives tell their husband endearing things at many different decimal levels, fist fights break out, police show up, at least two people get put in police cars for a ride to the station, and the fun goes on. All of this is finished by about noon and things settle down for a few hours. Now remember, this is in the morning and only about 30% are drinking that early.
The real fun begins about 9:00 PM when the crowds really get thick to pull the boats back out. Now there are nice people mixed into this crowd, but by this time a much higher percentage has had more than one drink. In some cases the only reason they are pulling the boat out is because they ran out of beer. The fights begin again, at least one car ends up much wetter than planned, divorce proceedings begin for some, a few more take a ride in a police car, and by midnight things quiet down again.
Is it boating or the holiday that brings out the best in these folks. Happy 4th of July. I will celebrate it on land this year.Have a great holiday and visit your local boat ramp for some entertainment.
Tom, I invite you to see the 4th July fireworks from my boat, come along no problem.....been here before, "Minha casa é sua casa"....
At least we drink and behave!!!
If you go to visit Giu to see the fireworks, bring a tv... since you'll need it to watch the fireworks... ;)
We call that spot here the entertainment dock:D
Stupid boat trick # 2. My boat, but a charterer on board. Could be titled "Took the class, but common sense cannot be taught".
Family chartered my boat a couple of years ago. They had taken ASA courses, but were still green. They were supposed to stay in the bay, but asked to leave for a couple of days. They at least asked, and were told fine, but anything over 15 kts. stay tied to the dock. Fair enough.
Three days, no wind. Their one week of sailing was not going well, but they did motor to some nice sites. Day 4, winds SSW at 10-12, forecast for 20-25 in the afternoon. They were excited and got out sailing in the morning. Not too eventful, having a good time, winds beginning to build. And build. Finally decided that the winds were getting a little too strong so they dropped sail and began motoring. So far, so good.
Now, winds from SSW have a fetch of about 90 miles in the bay they were in. Waves are building and building. Daughter decides she wants to go swimming, and they are on vacation, so why not. Waves in the neighborhood of 6' at this time. They motor over to a beach where they THOUGHT they saw a 70' yacht anchored earlier. Now, there are charts aboard, but they were never touched. Why confuse things with facts when you think you saw a big boat anchored over there earlier. Got into about 20' of water and threw the anchor out.
Now, here if where it gets really interesting. The area they were in had three shelves. One at 50', then a 150' shelf of 20', and then 2' and stone.
So, they throw out the anchor and it is not setting. Did I mention 6' seas and building? It drags, and drags. They then decide that this is not going to work so attempt to pull up the anchor. Wife cannot handle it (why do men send their wives to handle the anchor while they hold the wheel?) so husband puts engine in neutral and starts forward to help her. Now remember, she is on the bow and the waves are over 6' at this point and it is shallow. She is getting beaten up pretty badly. However, taking the boat out of gear loses all control and the boat settles back. First thing that floats away is the rudder as they back into the shallows. Next they land on the keel. This is one time that a wing really comes in handy. Remember that anchor hanging off the bow? It keeps the boat feathered into the wind and she settles on her wing and keeps moving back. Perfectly balanced! UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN. The entire rig shudders each time a wave lifts her and lets her down. For four hours this goes on.
Now, fortunately, this has a happy ending. Nobody was killed, and the boat floats today. Imagine if they had somehow set that anchor and the little girl went over the side. If she got back to the boat and tried the stern ladder she would most likely have been killed by the stern crashing down on her. The whole rig could have come crashing down on them with all that stress. The boat could have falled off her wing and one of them caught under 12,000 lbs of boat in 2' of water. And lots of other scenarios.
A great team of people got the boat off safely. It was so shallow that the tug could not get any closer than 200' in those seas. They continued to build during their work. They got a bridle on the boat and pulled each time the waves lifted our boat. Slowly but surely they got her off and towed to a marina. Minus a rudder and with a much smaller keel ( remember the stones on the bottom, they acted as a grinder on the keel), and a few gouges in the glasswork. Three months later, and lots of surveys, she has a new rudder and keel, glasswork fixed, boat sound.
Oh, after the charterers were saved by the salvage guys, they talked to the charter company. They wanted to know how long it would take to put a new keel on so they could continue their vacation. After all , they had three days left of their vacation.
Common sense cannot be taught, you have to figure it out! Some never do.
Ouch...just remember in the race between man and God, where man makes something more foolproof, and God makes a better fool, God is winning, and he doesn't even have to wait to replace his fools, he just upgrades them on the spot.
The real fun begins about 9:00 PM when the crowds really get thick to pull the boats back out. Now there are nice people mixed into this crowd, but by this time a much higher percentage has had more than one drink. In some cases the only reason they are pulling the boat out is because they ran out of beer.
How about when that afternoon T-storm kicks up and they all try to pull their boats out at the same time?
I never thought about it before, but sounds like the boat ramp antics are the same all over the country.!!
You're a braver man than I. But then, I actually like my boat.(g)
How old do I have to get before I can acquire your sang-froid? Or, are you married to your insurance adjuster? Great tale and, like you, I thank God it ended "well".
Your tale of the boat ramp, I imagine is fairly universal, as we had the same situation on the lake where I used to be. Watching them pull out after the fireworks was a traditional event for us, as the ramp was right next to the marina.
Your other tale, proves once again that having a piece of paper that says you are competent, does make it true. Certified intelligence is no match for real life experience and knowledge.

The Israeli company ReWalk Robotics will sell public shares for the first time for a device that enables people with spinal cord injuries to stand and walk.
The company, which changed its name from Argo Medical Technologies to the name of its major product, announced this week that it will make an initial public offering on the NASDAQ next month.
The ReWalk device, a 44-pound exoskeleton that allows individuals with spinal cord injuries to walk, stand and sit with minimal exertion, was featured in 2010 on the popular television drama "Glee" while undergoing clinical trials in the United States.
The company recently received approval for the device from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for home use. It is already in use in Europe.
The ReWalk, developed by Argo and released in September 2012, is the brainchild of Amit Goffer, an Israeli computer scientist and inventor who became paralyzed after a 1997 car accident. Although he cannot use the ReWalk himself because he lacks the use of his arms, he began designing the device with the help of a $50,000 grant from the Israeli government because he was frustrated at the lack of alternatives to a wheelchair.
The device functions through motors attached to the legs that can propel a disabled person at a slow walking speed. A tilt sensor, the same technology used on Segway electric transporters, can sense whether the user wants to move forward or back, stand or sit. Poles are used for added support.

Brett Lee has been challenged to prove, against Zimbabwe today, that he belongs in Australia's best one-day team, and last night held an 11th-hour discussion with mentor Dennis Lillee in an effort to get his career back on track.
It took until late yesterday for Lee, who declared after losing his way during the Sydney Test that his first priority was to ask the fast-bowling legend for help, to succeed in contacting Lillee, with whom he still hopes to discuss his bowling face-to-face in the coming weeks.
Lee's NSW bowling coach, Geoff Lawson, said that if Australia's fastest bowler did not recover from his form slump in the next few matches he would be forced out of the national squad to work on his deficiencies in domestic cricket. Captain Ricky Ponting, while confident Lee would get back to his best, admitted his wayward form a fortnight ago had not justified his selection.
"You'd have to say he's more than likely to get back into very good form. Having a low-pressure game against Zimbabwe is the perfect time to be doing it, and if he doesn't do it in that arena, he will be back in state cricket doing it," Lawson said.
After enduring a horrendous fourth Test, during which he was plagued with a no-ball problem and finished with match figures of 4-276, Lee publicly turned to Lillee, who believes Lee can still be a great fast bowler.
"I'm quite happy if he wants to talk to me. It's always been an open line - it's part of my job with Pace Australia, apart from the fact he's a friend as well," Lillee said. Lee had tried to contact Lillee without luck before yesterday.
Ponting acknowledged factors beyond Lee's control, including the death of his grandmother and a heavy domestic workload on the road back from injury, had contributed to his bowling problems, and expressed confidence the 27-year-old would recapture the brilliant form that took 22 wickets during the World Cup, where he was Australia's most destructive bowler.
"If he's bowling as well as he can I think he'd be in most sides' first XI, as we saw in the World Cup, and I'm hoping he can get back to that sort of form over the next few weeks," Ponting said.
Asked whether Lee had been bowling well enough to be picked in Australia's best team, Ponting said: "He probably wasn't a couple of weeks ago and that's why we decided to give him a rest. I think he was a bit tired, which was hindering the way he could bowl and the way he could perform. We've given him a little bit of time to recover and I'm sure we'll see him perform better over the next couple of weeks."
Lawson believes Lee represents a classic argument for Australia to employ a full-time bowling coach. "Every other country has got one and most of them are Australians. They've got all this technology sitting in their dressing room, which could have been used to show split screens of what he was doing right, these things can be sorted out in the short term," Lawson said.
"That's the bizarre thing I find, that given all the staff they've got they don't have people to actually tell batsmen and bowlers what they're doing wrong or right."
Lee has come under scrutiny from bowling experts, including former Australian speedster Jeff Thomson, who suggested he may have suffered from being considered an automatic selection in most Australian teams and had to become a smarter bowler.
Lawson said Lee was not at the top of his form when he was recalled for the Boxing Day Test, but at the time it was probably a logical selection. "He may well come out tomorrow and knock 'em over."
Ponting said a refreshed Lee did not need to be told how to bowl at the brittle Zimbabwean top order. "If he gets the ball in the right area, on a good line and a good length, using his pace and swing then I'm sure he's going to take wickets."
Australia, virtually assured of a place in the final, will rest Jason Gillespie and Ian Harvey against Zimbabwe, which has lost to Australia and India by 99 runs and seven wickets respectively in the first two matches. Spinner Brad Hogg, whose place in the West Australian team has been under threat, has a chance to impress the national selectors ahead of next month's Sri Lanka tour.

Leicester City Football Club was formed in 1884 and actually stood as one of the biggest clubs outside the Premier League, and there's little doubt that when Leicester City was promoted from the Championship back in 2014, many a Leicester fans were left ecstatic! Considering their history, the team can boast playing at their previous ground Filbert Street for an impressive 111 years until Filbert Street's eventual closure forced the team to move in 2002, to what is now called the King Power Stadium. Get your Leicester tickets right here on Ticketbis!
Leicester City's fairytale triumph last year read like a book but this year's story has been equally enthralling. Tickets for a Leicester City 2016/17 match could provide you with access to matches that may prove pivotal to Leicester's future. The team are embroiled in a relegation battle only a year after spectacularly winning the division last season and have lost popular manager Claudio Ranieri. Fans certainly believe the loss of star midfielder Kante has proved crucial as well as the drop in form of striker Jamie Vardy and playmaker Riyad Mahrez. A comprehensive victory against Liverpool February 27th has boosted morale but will it prove suffficent to beat the drop? Buy your Leicester City tickets and see their survival attempt!
Founded in 1884 by a group of former Wyggeston School students, the club eventually joined the Football Association in 1890. Leicester City's distinctive royal blue kit has been a constant for most of their history, however, the iconic fox featured on their emblem, was actually introduced in 1948, due to Leicester's history regarding foxes and fox hunting. Then known as Leicester Fosse, due to financial difficulties the team was forced to disband after the league was resumed after the First World War. However, ever unperturbed the club reformed as Leicester City Football Club and enjoyed a moderate level of success in the '20s, before a downturn in performances saw the following decade spent mostly in Second Division. 1949 saw Leicester City's first ever FA Cup Final appearance, although they lost 3-1 to Wolverhampton Wanderers. 1957-1969 is widely considered to be the club´s most successful period, representing the longest time they have stayed in top flight football. The club has long been associated with crisp manufacturers Walkers, and the company was their sponsors from 1987, until 2001 when they were bought by Thai travel retail group King Power. Considering Leicester City's Premier League 2016-2017 win, Leicester City tickets are almost guaranteed to be in high demand! Can Leicester keep up their phenomenal performance once again? Find out and buy your Leicester tickets now, in just a few simple clicks!
Oddly enough, despite their historic time away from the Premier League, The Foxes can still boast impressive silverware to their name, now adding their first Premier League title win to the mix. Prior to 2016, their highest ever finish was second in what was then known as Division One back in 1929. They also hold the joint-highest record for second-tier titles, after having topped the Second Division an impressive 6 times and winning the Championship title in 2014. Leicester has lifted the League Cup on 3 occasions, the last time being in 2000. Throughout their history they have always fallen short of achieving an FA Cup title, being runners up in 1949, 1961, 1963 and 1969.
Originally called Walkers Stadium, Leicester's decision to move to the stadium in 2008 was originally seen as a dangerous move as the team fell into relegation at the time of purchase! Considering that the stadium's construction put the team into £30 million worth of debt! Of course, all financial woes soon subsided when the team was acquired by billionaire Thai Vichai Raksriaksorn, and now King Power Stadium can boast some of the best facilities in the area! Featuring four separate stands: Marks Electrical Family Stand (North), The Air East Stand (East), The Spion Kop (South) and Upton Steel Stand (West), there is also an Away section between Marks Electrical Family Stand (North) and Air Asia Stand (East), and all reports of the section seem to agree that the stadium's atmosphere is certainly worth the journey! As far as nearby waterholes, the Holiday Inn Express' Soaring Eagle Spur Steak & Grill, can't be any more ideal with the pub situated a minute away from the stadium!

BeschreibungThe present study was conducted to elucidate the effects of River Rafting on the adjoining forest, wild life and economic growth in context to government and local inhabitants from Kaudiyala to Rishikesh stretch of Ganga in Uttarakhand. The study has largely relied on primary survey (floral study, wild life and economic growth) and secondary data collected from different government departments. In all instances, both primary and secondary data sources were used in various analysis. The results and analysis revelve that under the grab of white water rafting the less disturbed area in Uttarkhand has also come under the threat of human desire. The dominant trees species of the study area were Acacia catechu, Anogessius latifolia, Bauhinia vahli, Bombax ceiba, Ficus religosa, Shorea robusta, Holoptelia integrifolia, Toona ciliata. Volume Analysis of different transects in the study area reveal that the quantity of wood volume is inversely proportional to number of tourist at most of the rafting sites.

With four games to go it appears that the Mets starting outfield is done for the season. Jason Bay is struggling with a sinuous infection and both Duda/Pagan are experiencing residual headaches but haven't been diagnosed with concussions.
Angel Pagan had a very disappointing season in terms of expectations, this was suppose to be the season in which he took over center field and not just served as the fill-in for Carlos Beltran. In 2010 Pagan played in 151 games while hitting .290 and playing solid defense. He seemed to have erased all those concerns over mental errors which plagued him in Chicago and the injury concerns which hindered his first two years back in NY.
But instead of expanding upon what appeared to be his breakout season, he has regressed and it now appears that 2010 was the aberration. Pagan hit a mere .262 which when averaged with his .290 from the year before makes him a .275 hitter ( which coincides with his career average). Now a .275 switch hitting center fielder with speed isn't such a bad thing but Pagan hasn't just struggled at the plate. He has once again had mental lapses where he's taken bad routes to balls or pulled up when it appeared that he could/should have made the catch. At times Pagan has appeared to be playing it safe and/or conservative which is the opposite of what got his nickname "Crazy Horse".
What's been more profound then his offense or mishaps catching the ball is his throwing, he has been absolutely atrocious throwing the ball in every aspect of the game. From inaccurate throws, short throws, missing the cut off man, throwing to the wrong base, and hesitating to the point where the runner advances. He's been so bad throwing the ball that you almost wonder if he's hiding a shoulder injury, while that would give him a pass for his throwing issues it would bring back the injury concerns.
In my opinion at 29 y/o Pagan is what he is and will cost between 3-5M through arby. I think he has too many holes to pay that much and is more of a platoon partner or 4th outfielder then a full time starter. The more he plays he becomes an average hitter, who doesn't use his speed as effectively as he could on the bases and is possibly an injury risk. More importantly I'm concerned with his mental lapses, at times it appears that the game is moving too fast for him but for a team trying to change a losing/lackadaisical culture these fly balls where he's pulled up when it seemed like a dive would have made an out is disheartening. I would non-tender Pagan you can find this type of performance from a multitude of players on minor league invites while taking a look at several center fielders in-house.
In Bay's case were stuck with him, unless we trade for another equally bad contract in the hopes that a change of scenery will help both players. Bay and A.J. Burnett are owed almost identical money and have struggled equally as much with their current teams, these are the only type of deals you could make for him. At least Bay has been a solid corner outfielder, who makes good plays and has a good mentality for the clubhouse. Also in the second half his bat has shown signs of life hitting .313 in Sept. and maybe the changes to Citi will help his power numbers, which will hopefully get him to stop the constant tinkering he's been doing to his approach at the plate. There were rumors that earlier this season he was having trouble with his peripheral vision post concussion, Bay's not one to use excuses so we'll never know but his pitch recognition seems much better. Next season I'd put Duda behind Bay in the line-up, give Bay the protection of a home run threat and hope pitcher's are more aggressive to Bay allowing him to get his bat going early ( Bay#3, Duda#4, Wright#5).
Lucas Duda has given himself a shot for next season, I'm reluctant to consider these one dimensional guys legitimate power threats until we get a bigger sample pool. It seems like every few years a Butch Huskey comes along but don't get me wrong I'm intrigued by Duda and want to see more. If I'm tepid about his offense then I'm outright concerned about his defense for a full season in right field. There was a report that the outfield maybe less strenuous for Ike Davis' injured ankle, if thats the case I'd much rather see them flip Davis to RF and Duda to 1B. Davis was drafted out of college as a legitimate corner outfield prospect, it was the Mets who decided to make him exclusively a 1B. I would think 1B would be easier on the ankle but there was at least one reference that indicated just the opposite. If Duda is our starting RF then your going to need a late inning defensive replacement, which also means you will be pulling your biggest power threat out of the line-up regularly late in games...

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola: 5 insanely cool scenes
Kapur easily scores one of his career's most delightful acts in what can only be termed as absurdist cinema.
New Delhi: Did you know Pankaj Kapur is a teetotaller in real life? You wouldn't if you saw him teetering drunkenly at the edge of a village well, barking obscenities at it and getting offended that it was answering back.
There are several spoilers ahead. So if you haven't seen Vishal Bhardwaj's Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola, do come back to this write-up later once you have.
For those who do not care about spoilers, there are several scenes that teeter on the brink of greatness but they dissolve before your eyes as Bhardwaj cannot decide whether to give in to the absurd, romanticise Maoism, play safe with a bankable lead pair or make a seriously political film.
Enter Pankaj Kapur.
The man who made Jahangir Khan a legend, Kapur easily gives one of his career's brilliantly delightful performances in what can only be termed as absurdist cinema.
Scene 1: Landowner Harry Mandola has a side to him known to all, feared by the people of the village named after his forefathers and occasionally indulged by his educated driver Matru. The slightly cruel and mostly money-minded Mandola sparks terror in the hearts of those around him when sober. But down a few drinks he becomes the amiable Hariya, forgetting his bearing and instigating the villagers to raise a cry of revolt against him. In slurred speech, the ridiculously drunk Kapur then bursts into a war song and leads a protest march to his own mansion to demand the land rights of the peasants. Kapur is unfettered in his madness and the scene gets better when he dives drunkenly into his pool, emerges sober and sets out with a glint of steel in his eyes to meet these unfortunate villagers, shotgun in hand.
Scene 2: The two-seater plane he has taken for a joyride catches fire and like a character straight out of a Gogol or Kakfa novel, Mandola, drunk as ever, reaches around at the back of his seat to get one last drink before he and Matru jump to safety, parachutes strapped to their back. He has a cigar in hand and looks around for a box of matches, notices the flaming tip of the plane and reaches out to light his smoke.
Scene 3: The slightly slimy and deliciously nasty Deviji, the chief minister of Haryana, played by the brilliant Shabana Azmi matches Kapur wit for wit as they flirt in the corn fields. The sensuality of the two ageing characters, united in their lust for power and money, is underplayed by the sheer charm of a recovering drunk and a plotting antagonist.
Scene 4: A quiet, emotional scene between Mandola and his daughter Bijlee on the day of her wedding when the father in Harry has an internal debate with the ambitious industrialist in him on whether to trade his daughter for the greater good (as per his conviction) of the village. He's fooling no one and a disappointed Bijlee reads his thoughts as if they were etched on his forehead.
Scene 5: All his moments facing Gulabo, the pink buffalo, are delightful. In reality, buffaloes aren't much of a threat to anyone, but to Kapur they symbolize the inner demons he has been keeping at bay for years. We are given a hint during a tirade by his daughter on her mother's untimely death. As Kapur fights his alcoholism he also wrestles the devil in him which threatens to spring forth the moment he lets his guard down.

My Mini Black and Tan Dachshund is losing hair on his belly and I'm not sure what is causing this or what to do?? help
I have a black and tan short hair dachshund who is a little over 1 years old. About 4 months ago I noticed the fur on his belly begning to thin, and over the course of the past months his hair on his belly and behind his ears has almost completely disapeared. At first we thought this was due to a food allergie, so I switched him from Science Diet to Blue Buffalo, it seemed that some hair was starting to grow back in the first few weeks but then this stopped. Nothing else has changed except for the fact that he is losing hair on his belly and thining out on the sides of him as well. I'm not sure what to do, and can't afford expensives tests right now...any advice? I hear that hair loss among dachshunds is common so maybe someone can tell help me figure this out...

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
dachshund losing hair; oh, poor kid - you are on a good dog food now;
***it could be environmenal allergies....
You could have the vet do some basic blood work to check for Thyroid problems...
It won't cost much - Just put a limit on your vet.
Tell them I can spend 200.00 on blood work and NO more... or even 150.00
JUST an idea:
You can also try this skin supplement - our clinic has had great luck: see here:
Good luck guys...

There is a hairloss pattern common (unfortunately) amongst dachshunds. I might suggest you go over to AKC,org, find the parent club for dachshunds and you will probably find helpful information on their webpages. I know other breed clubs such as the poodle do have listings of common health problems and some solutions for them on their parent club website.
Good luck.

It is a common problem with some breeds and not due to allergy, illness or poisoning (as some nuts will try to tell you). It is inherited, so your dog should be nuetered if not already. If he is from a breeder, inform them so they don't breed his Sire and Dam again.

My dog is a short hair daschund too, and she has no hair on her belly either. It's natural for daschunds to lose/not have hair on their belly. Many short hair daschunds shed A LOT. The hair loss behind his might be due to shedding.

Railway minister Pawan Kumar Bansal's nephew Vijay Singla, booked on Friday evening on bribery charges, had allegedly demanded bribe of Rs10 crore for the post of member (electrical) on the railway board, and negotiations were on with arrested senior railway official and railway board member Mahesh Kumar, as the post is yet to become vacant.
This was revealed in the remand application submitted by the anti-corruption branch of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) seeking two-day transit remand of Kumar, who was arrested on Friday evening, soon after he landed at Mumbai airport.
Acting on the plea, a special CBI anti-corruption court on Saturday remanded Kumar to two days in transit custody so that the central agency can take him to Delhi, where it has registered an FIR, and produce him before an appropriate court there.
According to the CBI, Kumar was appointed as member (staff), railway board, just two days ago and he was allegedly negotiating with Singla to continue to hold the post of general manager, Western Railways.
Kumar had allegedly agreed to pay an amount of Rs2 crore for the simultaneous post of general manager (Western Railway) and Singla had allegedly received first installment of Rs90 lakh paid in Chandigarh on behalf of Kumar, the application stated.
The CBI claimed that Kumar had handed over the first installment to a middleman, Manjunath, who passed it on to one Sandeep Goyal. Goyal in turn paid the bribe amount to Singla. Manjunath is said to be a businessman from Chandigarh.
On Saturday, Kumar's counsel M Janardhanan urged the special CBI court to allow Kumar to get admitted to a hospital as he was suffering from chest pain, and offered that the bureaucrat on his own will remain present before the concerned court at Delhi. CBI opposed the move stating the medical report of Saint Georges Hospital, where he was examined, did not indicate any ailment.
The special court rejected the plea and remanded Kumar to two days transit custody saying the CBI would take him to a hospital, if required.

Still Waters
When the Clyfford Still Museum gained access to the modern-art luminary's personal collection, the curators got more than they bargained for. In addition to Still's abstract-expressionist masterpieces, the museum's archives host the entirety of his personal record collection — hundreds of vinyl discs that range from classical orchestration to Southern gospel.
"He liked his music as interesting as his art," says museum spokeswoman Irene Weygandt. "And he listened to music while he painted. While we can't be certain which songs contributed to which works, I think we can all agree that music has an emotional impact on us, our art and our worlds."
On Thursday, Colorado Symphony Orchestra resident conductor Scott O'Neil will explore the connection between art and music in a talk on Still's classical collection. O'Neil poured over Still's musical influences to prepare for his presentation, which will feature audio samples. Museum organizers plan to dissect the other genres in Still's collection at future talks.
The lecture, called "Still's Music Collection," begins at 6:30 p.m. in the lobby of the museum, 1250 Bannock Street; admission is $10. For more information, call 720-354-4880 or visit www.clyffordstillmuseum.org.

I can only give you suggestions:
from within Stata, try -foreach- to automate the seven steps as a .do file, once you got this to work, turn it into an .ado file, then all you have to do is to call the .ado to get the job done the next time you need to update.

Just get Google to do the work for you
You've collected all this data that we've been unable to convince the electorate to allow us to record on them without huge political agro? If you could just give us all the details, that would be perfect.
Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal on Monday became the latest law enforcement official to order Google to give a detailed accounting of the information its Street View cars surreptitiously sniffed from unsecured Wi-Fi networks over a three-year period. In a letter to Google officials, Blumenthal demanded they …
You've collected all this data that we've been unable to convince the electorate to allow us to record on them without huge political agro? If you could just give us all the details, that would be perfect.
... by it's absence from any calls for the data to be handed over/investigated.
you'll never win with google this way.
what you need to do is tax them.
You see, googles adwords/adsense have the ability to really devastate small businesses world-wide.
Say you own a joes coffee shop in a small town in Kentucky. Starbucks or another big coffee corporate wants to run joes out of business. If Joes relies on internet orders Starbucks could buy keywords that would take away Joes searches and give them to google. The higher bidder will win.
So if google is able to manipulate markets like this, they should be taxed accordingly.
I think im on to something here, it's the only way you'll get them. Just remember what happens when tax is thrown around at amazon, it's the end of the world.
Makes sense to me, if you want to build a house or buy land here in the states you pay for your footprint. Whens google going to pay for theirs?
If I go around war driving and capturing all data and get caught I'll get thrown in jail..
Large company?? oh lets share the loot and pretend we're doing something about it...
Also would it be unreasonable to assume that the kit doesn't discriminate between unencrypted and encrypted traffic? it could just be capturing encrypted and unencrypted traffic and they are just saying well we can't read the encrypted stuff anyway..
Given that a lot of traffic in general is already to google whether it be from it's services (search, email dns etc) or from ad-sense or analytics and since it knows what the traffic is to itself could it not correlate that with the encrypted captures and could give it a hand in deciphering the encrypted stuff also? It would have to sync the stream to an accurate time source - and it definately has that as there's an active gps recording position at the same time.
Paranoid ? That's what they were saying when the Germans were poking around google asking what they've been up to then suddenly this came out...
... but the UK gov't / ICO opts for a telling off: "You've been very naughty boys. Now, promise to not do it again, and hop along now."
Utter fail. When will somebody PLEASE replace the ICO with something that has grown balls and some teeth?
Don't see the issue myself. If they have been war driving, they've done nothing more than see what is publicly available to anyone. If they've not piggybacked, then I cannot see a crime here.
People just causing a stir about nothing. There's more important things going on in the world.
They were capturing data...
Google Jedi: "You don't need to see our documentation"
Law Enforcement Officer: "We don't need to see your documentation"
Google Jedi: "This is not the company you're looking for"
Law Enforcement Officer: "This is not the company we're looking for"
Google Jedi: "We can go about our business"
Law Enforcement Officer: "You can go about your business"
Google Jedi: "Move along"
Law Enforcement Officer: "Move along"

The Motorola Motoluxe (also known as XT615) is a mid-ranged Android smartphone that was announced in January this year. It was initially launched in black finish, but recently, the company has come up with a white version of the Motoluxe.
It looks like in recent months, many flagship smartphones have launched a white version, which offers users another choice if they don't like the original finish. The origin of a white phone traced back to the Apple iPhone, and after that, we have also seen the white Xperia arc S, Lumia 900 and the Droid Razr. The Motorola Motoluxe (also known as XT615) was first launched in black, and recently the white version has popped up in the market; price-wise, it is similar to the original black Motoluxe. From the above picture, the white finish is mainly at the rear and both sides of the phone. For those who are interested, the Motoluxe is powered by 800MHz processor and 512MB RAM (with 1GB ROM). It features a 4-inch FWVGA LCD display, 8-megapixel rear and 3-megapixel fron cameras, runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS and Moto Switch UI. Unfortunately, the mid-range phone is available only in some countries, and in China, it is priced at around 2335 yuan (or US$370).

A Task represents an asynchronous operation. Managing threads is a tedious job. Tasks provide more features than threads such as continuation. They also provide easier exception handling, and return values which makes Tasks easier to use. Tasks use threads behind the scenes to accomplish the job. Tasks were introduced in .NET Framework 4 and were enhanced in C# 5.0
By default, Tasks use pooled threads. Unlike foreground threads, a pooled thread is a background thread which ends as soon as the main thread in the program ends.
Creating a Task is quite straightforward. Just call the static Run method with an Action delegate or an equivalent lambda expression:
Task.Run (() => Console.WriteLine ("Hello Task!")); // Hello Task!
The previous code is equivalent to the following:
new Thread(() => Console.WriteLine ("Hello Task!")).Start();
If you are using .NET Framework 4.0, you cannot use the Run method. You can use Task.Factory.New method:
Task.Factory.StartNew (() => Console.WriteLine ("Hello Task!")); // Hello Task!
Task.Run returns a Task object which can be used to track the progress of the task:
void Main()
var task = Task.Run ( () => Console.WriteLine ("Hello Task!"));
Console.WriteLine (task.IsCompleted); // False
The previous returns false because the task has not completed yet. The Wait method blocks the current thread until the task completes:
void Main()
var task = Task.Run ( () => Console.WriteLine ("Hello Task!"));
task.Wait (); // Wait until task completes
Console.WriteLine (task.IsCompleted); // True
A Task can also return a value. The generic class Task<TResult> Run method can accept a Func<TResult> delegate or an equivalent lambda expression:
void Main()
var task = Task<int>.Run ( () => 1000);
Console.WriteLine (task.Result); // 1000
The property Result holds the result and accessing this property implicitly waits for the task to complete.
Tasks propagate exceptions. This means if the code in a task throws an unhandled exception, the exception propagates to the caller of the task.
void Main()
int i = 0;
var task = Task<int>.Run ( () => 1 / i);
Console.WriteLine (task.Result); // Exception
catch(AggregateException ex)
if (ex.InnerException is DivideByZeroException)
Console.WriteLine ("Division by 0");
Console.WriteLine (ex);
The exception is wrapped in AggregateException in order to fit well in Parallel programming.
A continuation tells a task to do something else whenever it completes. It is normally implemented using callbacks. There are two ways to implement continuation. The first one is by using an awaiter object (this is only available since Framework 4.5)
var task = Task.Run (() => Enumerable
.Range(1, 1000000)
.Count (n => (n & 1) == 0)); // Count the even integers between 0 and million
var awaiter = task.GetAwaiter();
awaiter.OnCompleted (() => {
int result = awaiter.GetResult();
Console.WriteLine (result);
The method GetAwaiter returns an awaiter object. The awaiter.OnCompleted method tells the antecedent task to execute a delegate whenever it completes or faults.
Note that the result was accessed using the GetResult method. We could have accessed it using task.Result. The difference is that if GetResult is called and the antecedent task throws an exception, the exception will not be wrapped in AggregateException and this makes the exception handler code cleaner.
The other way to attach a continuation method is by calling ContinueWith. The method ContinueWith returns a Task object, so the result can be accessed via the property Result:
var task = Task.Run (() => Enumerable
.Range(1, 1000000)
.Count (n => (n & 1) == 0)); // Count the even integers between 0 and million
task.ContinueWith ( t => {
int result = t.Result;
Console.WriteLine (result);

Ripoff Report
wowpcfixInternet USA
WOW PC FIX, WOWPCFIX.COM RIP OFF BUYER BEWARE SCAM Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Good afternoon. I wanted to take some time to comment on my horrific experience with WOW PC FIX that still continues to this day. On November 17th, I was attempting to install additional music production software on my lightening fast home computer. As expected with this kind of software, I ran into an installation issue. Upon researching the issue, I came across WOW PC FIX.
I connnected with these guys and was told by a Salesperson that I could get this problem resovled and even get a tune up on my machine for $350. I was told that they could gain remote access to my machine and do a tune-up that would take a few days. I agreed and I wish I never ran into these folks.
Two days into the tune-up, I come home to find my comupter is completely offline. My internet was completely knocked out. And, to this day, it is still out. I had several tech folks call me, none of which seemed that knowledgeable. In additon, I had two of them hang up on me and even go so far as to question my knowledge of how computers work. In general, these tech contacts seemed very, very unprofessional. No one seems to be on the same page. Folks call and ask me the same series of questions. I ended up feeling like I was working for them as opposed to them serviding my account. I do account management and tech support for a living so this was very alarming to me.
I also found it alarming that a tech person told me "the work order I have says your computer was freezing and you wanted to uninstall Norton security." I never agreed any of that and I never said my cimputer was freezing. The lack of communication is alarming.
After spending close to three hours with tech folks running me in circles, I demanded a refund. Keep in mind that I had to request and was promised this refund no fewer than six times. To this day, I still have yet to receive a receipt for service or evidence of my refund.
My internet is still out as well. I was simply told "sorry for the inconvenience." I have a music production business I am trying to get off the ground and that has been stalled for two weeks thanks to WOW PC FIX. This company has had a material effect on my business and I hate this company for that. I despise this company. In addition, my software problem is still not resovled and my computer runs significantly slower to the point that it is essentially broken. My computer is in much worse shape than before I hired them.
Keep in mind that their tech people tried to blame me for the issue. The time and money I have lost with them is unaccpetable. As amends are not made, I am considering legal action at this point. They broke my computer and have yet to make amends. I have to stay calm even when I write this. I am furious to this day and I have had to call Best Buy with hopes that they can fix what WOW PC FIX broke. And I am paying Best Buy as well. I hate this company with a passion and I am determined to make sure amends are made. I am not letting this issue go until a resolution is complete.

Favorite Dave Navarro Album – Readers Poll
Dave Navarro celebrates his 45th birthday today (May 7). The six-string icon has carved out a legendary and unique career, having been a member of Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers, as well as working with artists such as Marilyn Manson, Guns N' Roses, Nine Inch Nails and even pop artists Christina Aguilera and Alanis Morissette.
Jane's Addiction's first album, a live effort was released in 1987, followed by their first proper studio album, 'Nothing's Shocking,' in 1988. As one of hard rock's most celebrated bands, Jane's Addiction unfortunately went through almost as many hiatus' as they've written albums, their latest being 2011's 'The Great Escape Artist.'
In 1993, Navarro joined yet another popular rock band, Red Hot Chili Peppers. His tenure in the band lasted five years and resulted in the guitarist lending his skills to the 1995 album 'One Hot Minute.'
Navarro formed various side projects during his career, such as Desconstruction with fellow Jane's Addiction member Eric Avery. The band released one self-titled album in 1994. The guitarist also began The Panic Channel in 2004 along with JA drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Chris Chaney. The Panic Channel also released a solitary album, (ONe) in 2006. Navarro has also released two solo albums — 1995's 'Rhimorse' and 2001's 'Trust No One.'

Neha's one of those ladies that can pull off any look……on anyone else this would border on tacky.
This woman can do no wrong …when it comes to sartorial choices at least
She looks really beautiful, despite the sloppy drape. It was the same in the Masaba saree too.
sure shot stunner !!!
awesome pic
She looks amazing! Neha's one of the few genuinely fashion forward people in the industry, and one of the VERY few people who wear the clothes/labels, rather than it being the other way around!

Body washes are known for their superior lather and their ability to clean your skin without drying it out. And this shower gel delivers on both counts. But what really sets it apart from the pack is its amazing smell: grassy, spicy, and citrus-forward, with a hint of wood.

While writing game reports and stories about the variety of sporting events we cover, I am supposed to remain objective and report on facts alone. At times that can be difficult. When I am at games and I feel that our team or a member of our team has been on the receiving end of anything that I don't think is right, I am upset. At least I am upset on the inside, but on the outside I try my best to keep my emotions to myself.
The Marion County High School football team headed to Somerset to take on Southwestern Friday. After a hard fought, close game throughout, the Knights were defeated by a touchdown pass by the Warriors with less than a minute remaining.
"The kids played hard with a great effort throughout the whole game," Head Coach Jeff Robbins said. "The intensity was much better throughout and it was our best defensive effort of the year."

The Marion County High School golf team played two matches last week. One match was against Mercer County and the other match was against Nelson County and Green County.
In the match against Mercer County the Knights came out on top 180 to 199. Individual scores for the Knights were Logan Medley and Mason Gadberry each with a 44, Evan Dye with a 45, and Casey Lee with a 47.
"It wasn't pretty golf on either side," Head Coach Chad Spalding said. "Mason had a good round, just had one bad hole."
