Anita always wants to compete for attention between the two boys. She makes nasty comments to family members, suggesting that her son is ignored while mine gets all the attention. No one says anything to her because they're afraid of her "blowups." I don't know how much longer I can live with this. It is hard enough watching my son slip away a little more each day, but having to deal with this has pushed me over the edge. How can I handle a crazy in-law in this situation? - FALLING APART IN ILLINOIS DEAR FALLING APART: Please accept my sympathy for the heartache you are experiencing. It's a shame that no one in the family is willing to point out to your volatile sister-in-law that the "annoyance" she's feeling is selfish and insensitive. However, because no one is, it might be better that Anita be excluded from family gatherings in which she might feel her son is getting short shrift. And you should ask the person who is repeating her complaints to you to please stop sharing them. That should solve your problem. DEAR ABBY: I am a married man, but not happily. I have been taking the kids on play dates with a neighbor woman who has been kind enough to meet with the children and doesn't seem to care too much that I'm a guy. As you can imagine, most women will not bother to befriend a man they know is DEARABBY DearAbby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles 90069, or visit her Web site at www. DearAbby. com. married. She has two kids who are close in age to mine. She is 19 years younger than I am and lives with her boyfriend. I have fallen in love with her. I know I can't tell her, and I doubt she feels the same toward me. When we part, we do hug each other. It makes me feel fantastic, something I haven't experienced for a long time. Should I continue getting together with her or should I avoid her? I feel both happy and sad when I see her because I realize she is basically out of reach. -- PERPLEXED IN WISCONSIN DEAR PERPLEXED: You feel lonely and isolated. It is understandable that you would be drawn to whatever warmth you can get, but this young woman is not the answer to your problem. Call a halt to this relationship so that you can work on your real problem -- which is your unhappy marriage. Once you sort that out, everything else will fall into place. But continuing to see this woman as things are will only perpetuate your pain. ;

I was wondering what everyones take on photoshop elements was. Obviously it is a watered down version of PS CS but I was wondering if you could do things like:
raw editing
blur tool
touch up tool
text for sigs
I'm looking for a software sweet I can touch up small trouble spots in my pics, do cropping, apply borders and a copyright sig. My raw processing program is pretty good but won't touch up small arears, only apply changes to the whole photo.

Allied Forces Act 1940
|3 & 4 Geo. VI c.51
Status: Repealed
The Allied Forces Act 1940 (3 & 4 Geo. VI c. 51) was an Act of Parliament of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed in late 1940, after the fall of France.
The Act gave legal authority for the recognised sovereign governments of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, Norway and Poland – all countries then under German occupation – to raise, equip and maintain independent armed forces on British soil. A sixth country, France, was provided for by authorising the activity of the Free French forces under General de Gaulle. The forces would be fully independent, under their own operational command and military law, though in practice it was expected that the British high command would direct general strategy and control joint operations. The Act would later be extended to cover Luxembourg, Greece and Yugoslavia.
It allowed these nations to remain active and independent allies in the war, rather than simply providing manpower and moral support to the United Kingdom and the remainder of the British Empire.
|It was essential that these foreign Governments, after being invited to come to this country, should have their own national armies here. These armies are the symbol of nationhood to millions of people and to their enslaved countrymen throughout Europe. I trust that, when the time arrives to which the Prime Minister pointed yesterday, and when there is a great resurgence in those countries, these armies will be the spearhead of the Forces of liberation and will see them through their present perils and trials.[1]
After the Act was passed, national units were quickly formed or reconstituted; by late October, the size of the Allied contingents serving with Home Forces were given as 18,000 Poles, 15,000 Norwegians and 3,000 Czechs, as well as around 3,000 Belgian, Dutch and French soldiers, as well as a large number of naval and air-force personnel.[2]

Stunning actress Tracy Coogan has just wrapped up shooting her new movie, Dark Woods. This mystery thriller follows a couple who move to a secluded cabin in the woods to cope with a terminal illness of the wife. As the wife's condition drags her deeper into dementia and darkness, the husband's friendship with a local teenage girl takes a dangerous and obsessive turn. Tracy is an Associate Producer on this movie so we thought we'd have a chat with this very interesting lady.
ZH: You were born in County Meath, Ireland; did you always know that you wanted to be an actress?
TC: I think so, I wasn't very confident about it when I was younger but I loved creating these stories for myself, creating my own world. I watched all the old movies with my mother. She loved Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, Vivienne Leigh all of them.
ZH: Did your parents encourage you?
TC: My mother always supports me and encourages me. My dad is my dad. He worries about his daughter. He supports me too, for sure but he would also like to have me back in Ireland near him.
ZH: How did you end up in New York?
TC: I was sponsored over by a modelling agency. I was part of this modelling convention and I was one of six who represented Ireland. I went there for a summer and that was it, I knew I wanted to live there. When I got back to Ireland I told my dad and I worked on getting my papers in order and then the next year I was living in New York. I'm a free bird, I needed to fly!
ZH: What was it like working in theatre at that time?
TC: Theatre is great. I loved being on stage and feeling the energy of live audience, even the little ladies with their candy wrappers. It's amazing. Very exhilarating.
ZH: How did you make the move into movies?
TC: I was really lucky, I was written in into this short film called "Dryads" I was in class and Brian Prozak was producing and directing "Dryads" he really liked watching me work and so he wrote me into the script. It went to a few festivals and I really enjoyed it. I would play around with the camera also with my friends and I also remember when I was little playing around with the camera after school. I remember my teacher drove by and I was filming her and she smiled for me. It s was funny because I had no film in the camera but I'll never forget it. It was kind of my joke on her. It always makes me laugh when I think about it. I can still see her face.
ZH: How different was it from theatre work?
TC: Theatre is live; it doesn't get much better then that. Film, you get to do it again and again if you need to, it doesn't get much better then that.
ZH: One of your most famous movies over here in the UK is the fright flick Zombie Honeymoon, what was that like to work on?
TC: I loved it. Dave Gebroe the director of Zombie Honeymoon, is a dream to work with. He really trusted us and let us go when we need to and pull it back if it need it. He's supportive and enthusiastic and such a hard working guy. There were defiantly tense moments but it all tied into the movie perfectly.
ZH: It's gory and bizarre, was it hard to keep a serious expression whilst acting?
TC: It was like there was a veil over me. Graham and I played it like it was terminal dieses, like cancer or aids so I never even noticed the zombie after a while.
ZH: It has a huge following, were you aware at time of shooting that it could become a cult favourite?
TC: I think Dave had a good idea that it may have a life like that but not until the first day of shooting did it hit me that we had something really different and special.
ZH: Your next horror movie was The Devil's Dungeon, how did that experience differ from Zombie Honeymoon?
ZH: Tony Todd has a role, did you get to meet up with this horror legend?
TC: No, unfortunately but I did get to work with graham Mctavish form the new Rambo movie who is an awesome actor.
ZH: Would you like to do more horror work?
TC: Yes, I like this genre and I think people are really finding great ways of telling compelling stories through this genre.
ZH: Do you have a favourite horror movie?
TC: I really like Rob Zombie's Devils Rejects and of course Friedkin's the Exorcist.
ZH: So what's next for you?
TC: I am currently in pre-production for dark woods I'm an associate producer on the

A high tunnel construction workshop will be held at Saint Joseph's College to educate participants on how to properly build high tunnels, also known as "hoophouses." It will be a hands-on workshop where participants will learn from an expert how to build a high tunnel. The moveable, inexpensive structures offer many benefits to vegetable and fruit growers.
The construction workshop will be held July 30-31 from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm CDT on Monday and 8:00 am to 4:30 pm CDT on Tuesday. Breakfast and lunch will be provided on both days, and dinner will be provided on Monday. The workshop will be held in Rensselaer, Ind. at Saint Joseph's College at the end of Daugherty Road, just west of campus off of Sparling Road, and led by Four Season Tools Agricultural Specialist Mike Bollinger. The cost of the workshop is $35.
A high tunnel is a passive solar greenhouse that extends the growing season for warm and cool-season crops in both rural and urban settings. Their use offers the opportunity for higher yields, reduced weeds, and premium prices for out-of-season produce. The high tunnel that will be constructed at SJC is a moveable V-track system designed by Four Season Tools.
The construction workshop aligns with SJC's recently developed "Hoophouse Farming Eduventure," an innovative start-up business and educational collaboration in organic hoophouse farming that uses hoophouse technologies for four-season vegetable production. As one of three winners of the Ball Brothers Foundation Venture Fund competitive grant program, SJC received $25,000 in seed funding for start-up initiatives to stimulate creativity and innovation and to foster competition and collaboration among Indiana's 31 independent campuses.
The sponsors of the workshop include the Jasper County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of Jasper and Newton Counties, Purdue Extension-Jasper County, the Jasper County Economic Development Organization, and SJC's Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) chapter. The latter two connect well with the intention of the Ball Brothers Foundation Venture Fund grant award, which aims to strengthen the local economy while providing fresh, locally grown food to the Rensselaer community.
"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to bring together area farmers and students who share the goals of growing healthy food in all four seasons while strengthening their business operations," said SJC Associate Professor of Education and Project Coordinator Dr. Lana Zimmer. "Building a high tunnel is the first step to achieving those goals."
For more information on the workshop or to reserve a space for the workshop, contact Dr. Lana Zimmer at email@example.com or 219.869.1926. Reservations can also be made for a limited number of rooms that will be available on campus for $30 per night.

How fine words leapt from mouths of Labor gods

Content over rhetoric ... the master speechwriter Graham Freudenberg outside the Whitlam Institute at the University of Western Sydney in Parramatta, where he gave a class yesterday. Photo: Tamara Voninski
The great political speech is not dead, just struggling to be heard above the 20-second grab, says the "Ian Thorpe of political speechwriters", Graham Freudenberg.
Paul Keating, the former prime minister, has said that if Abraham Lincoln were to make the Gettysburg Address now, "the chances are the journalists wouldn't report the speech but the doorstop that followed it. And the first question they would ask is, 'How come you're talking about democracy and freedom when there's a war going on?' "
But Freudenberg said those who believed oratory was fundamental to political discourse should not be too worried by TV grabs. Parliament was still the greatest forum for the speech and, if there was a decline in debate there it was because parliament was not being exploited properly. Freudenberg, who, as a boy, while his parents were out, would recite the speeches of 18th century statesman Edmund Burke, has written for the Labor leaders Arthur Calwell, Gough Whitlam, Bob Hawke and Neville Wran and still writes occasionally for Bob Carr, was speaking at a political speechwriting masterclass at the University of Western Sydney's Whitlam Institute.
He described his work as craft rather than art and insisted on the primacy of content over rhetoric. The Gettysburg Address was only 268 words but it represented the distillation of years of work by Lincoln, revealing "a relentless flow of logic".
The "It's Time" policy speech of 1972 was being written from the time Whitlam won the Labor leadership in 1967. The anti-Vietnam War speech that Freudenberg wrote for Calwell in 1965 drew on research carried out by Whitlam dating back to 1954. Freudenberg drew parallels between this speech, generally considered one of his best, and Labor's difficulty today over Iraq - how to oppose a popular war without denouncing the US.
"It was almost inconceivable that anyone would suggest in 1965 that the US would be humiliated in Vietnam," he said. "History rewarded that speech; the voters didn't."
He defended today's politicians - "better educated and more professional". And he defended plagiarism. "Any speechwriter worth his salt will plagiarise the great."
But he warned of the need for accuracy, quoting a former prime minister, Bill McMahon, who in 1971 fumbled a plagiarism of Brutus from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. McMahon said: "There comes a time in the life of a man in the flood of time that taken at the flood leads on to fortune ..."

A Favorable Signal for Stocks
By Paul Cherney
All of the following comments are based on S&P 500 quarterly data back to September, 1957. There were 183 quarters in the study.
Monday is the last trading day of the quarter. I calculated gains and losses for the very last trading days of the past 183 quarters. Only 27 out of 183 showed a close with a loss or a gain of more than 1.00% for the day (that's about 15% of the time).
The S&P 500 is up about 15% for the quarter (with just one trading day left to go). I filtered for quarters which had a 10.0% or greater advance at the end of each quarter. There were 21 quarters that met this filter. I then filtered for the performance in the S&P 500 in the quarter following quarters which finished with 10% or greater gains. Seventeen of those 21 quarters were followed by another quarter of gains, so 81% of the time, the S&P 500 managed to post an additional gain in the following quarter.
The four losing quarters which followed a quarter of 10.0%+ gains were the quarters ending 6/30/61 (down 0.65%), 9/30/75 (down 11.89%), 6/28/91 (down 1.08%), and 3/28/02 (down 0.06%).
The average of all gains plus losses in the quarters following 10% gaining quarters was a gain of 4.14%. With money market funds yielding under 1.0% for an entire year, this average of 4.14% for a quarter of a year is a compelling case for many to shift some assets back into equities.
Resistance: The S&P 500 has immediate intraday resistance at 984-995 and 993-1003, which makes 993-995 an especially thick area of resistance. Next resistance is 1010-1015.12. The bigger picture of resistance, which was established by price action in June, 2002, is that the S&P 500 has a band of resistance at 1008-1041 with a focus of 1020-1031.
The Nasdaq has immediate intraday resistance at 1641-1660.47 and 1658-1669, which makes the 1658-1660.47 area especially strong resistance.
Support: The Nasdaq has support at 1620-1610 then 1603-1584.
Immediate intraday support for the S&P 500 is 982-972. There is a broad band of support at 973-947.
Longer-term support for the S&P 500 is 948-927; for the Nasdaq, 1558-1478.
If the short-term, intraday supports start breaking, a price trip back to these longer-term supports is likely.
Cherney is chief market analyst for Standard & Poor's

Thanks oklahoma Suzie, I am new to all of this and want a good and dependable machine. I want to be able to make quilts and clothes for my kids. thank you
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thanks oklahoma Suzie, I am new to all of this and want a good and dependable machine. I want to be able to make quilts and clothes for my kids. thank you
Oklahoma, unfortunately the new Singers aren't nearly as good as the older ones.
So true. Remember, the salesman told me these machines don't break, they are made of space age material. In 1970 they called plastic "Space Age " material. There are plenty people around who will tell you that these particular machines do break and are a waste of money. The older machines are made of better stuff.
there are several good embroidery machines out there. Janome or Viking are excellent machines (I don't sell them) I just buy them LOL but I would go to a dealer who sells machines. Try them out and know that your dealer will stand behind it if something goes wrong. However I have had my two embroidery machines back only once for general cleaning etc. One I have had for 10 yrs and the other for 2 years. Good Luck in whatever you decide Marge
I love Janome sewing machines. I had a Memorycraft 4000 for many years and upgraded to a 4800 8 years ago. It has never let me down.
Thank you all for your help!! Like I said this is all new to me and now I can't wait to get started!! :D
Many years ago I purchased one of those machines. (Of course, without the serger features.) It is a very sturdy machine. I even used it to teach a class at a local fabric store. It does well on mending and hemming jeans. I have another machine with electronic features, but I still use the "school machine" for heavy duty sewing.
The old Singer machine that your mother etc...had were
wonderful machines, the new ones don't measure up IMHO. I have Singer machines from the 20s-60s and they are wonderful; they have no plastic parts to wear out.
I used to sell new Singers and they are loud and don't really like to sew anything heavier than 2 layers of quilt fabric. The new Vikings are great machines, even the low end Emerald line will sew circles around the current crop of Singer machines.

Most of the time I find ways for you to blow off 30 minutes or so of work. Today however, I have found a way for you to waste away an entire 40 hour work week and be entertained and informed at the same time. All of that sounds like an infomercial doesn't it? So Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame used to have an interview program back on ABC in 1957 and 1958. He gave those interviews to the University of Texas and they are all online. I tried to embed them, but I am lazy and there are lots, so you will just have to click over to their site. If you click the link for Gloria Swanson's video it should pop up, but if not, you can click here to see the entire list of interviews. You have to watch the Anthony Perkins one. Oh, and if you can't understand what they are saying, if you click on the T button on the video box, up pops a transcript.
Gloria Swanson, one of Hollywood's most spectacular stars, talks to Wallace about why she is not making films, sex appeal, Hollywood in the 1920s, marriage, plastic surgery, and cancer cures.

It's an unfortunate side effect of human consciousness that occasionally pretty strange thoughts enter your head. Only the other day I spent at least thirty seconds seriously considering the viability of savoury boiled sweets; bacon gobstobbers, that sort of thing. The fact that they don't exist must reflect some perceived lack in demand. Or no company bold enough to break prevailing confectionary conventions.
Thankfully I'm not the only person whose imagination has wandered into the world of food. It still saddens me to remember reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and having to be told chapter by chapter that each of Wonka's sweets didn't actually exist (as if studying for my A levels wasn't trying enough). With that in mind, and with this being the festive season, where lists and food are two of the key themes (along with Jesus), I've compiled a list of my top ten favourite fictional foodstuffs.
1. Chocolate salty balls. Matt Stone and Trey Parker's South Park has produced numerous highlights over the years, but having creating a fictional foodstuff that resulted in a chart-topping hit, they proudly head this list. The recipe for the balls is précised in the verses of the song, but the voice of Chef, Isaac Hayes, managed to release a cookbook on the back of the song's success. Oh, and there's supposed to be some sort of double entendre involved but I haven't yet picked it out ...
2. Tomacco. When Homer moves to a farm and mixes tomatoes, radioactive materials and a fag butt, hilarity is bound to ensue. Who says the Simpsons has strayed too far from the heart-warming realism of the early series? Not everyone's idea of a dream snack perhaps, but a vegetable that satisfies nicotine cravings deserves some mention. Linked above with an unusual soundtrack.
3. Scooby snacks. Possibly the most famous of the list, Scooby snacks (an element of the programme so prominent it features in the theme tune, linked above) make regular occurrences in the legendary cartoon as the crime-solving pooch's favourite treat. Speculation that they were a euphemism for narcotic substances was refuted by the show's creators, who insisted that they were merely caramel flavoured dog biscuits. Unfortunately the Fun Lovin' Criminals ignored these claims in their drug-referencing 1996 hit of the same name.
4. Soylent green. An entire film based on a fictional foodstuff? Sounds strange, but this 1973 Charlton Heston movie was exactly that. Citizens of a futuristic society all clamour for one mysterious substance - soylent green. But what is it made of? Still disconcertingly prescient today, if only to warn us of our over-reliance on GM foods. Or something.
5. Manna. One of the oldest on the list, manna features in the Old Testament as a magical substance sent by God which kept the Israelites going through their travels in the desert. Would it be better than Pringles though? As it's not readily available today, we'll never know.
6. Ambrosia. Possibly preceding even manna, ambrosia is not only a popular brand of custard and rice pudding, but also (coincidentally) the name given to the food of the Greek gods. It also bestowed immortality upon the consumer, something an aptly named band achieved in writing this classic 80s love song.
7. Butterbeer. The Harry Potter series was responsible for many positive things. It got kids interested in reading books. It got adults interested in reading kids' books. What wasn't so universally appreciated however was JK Rowling's subtle reinforcement of Britain's youth boozing culture, as Harry and the gang knock down pint after pint of delicious 'butter' beer. Is it a coincidence that Rowling holds shares in numerous major lager manufacturers? The bizarre tribute act linked here may offer some clues.
8. Everlasting gobstoppers (after 4min 30s). Youths of today would be unimpressed with the prospect of a boiled sweet that lasted forever, but the 60s were quainter times. An everlasting gobstopper then would be the equivalent of a never-ending bottle of Smirnoff Ice or a Nintendo DS with infinite battery life today. Roald Dahl deserves a special mention for his many contributions to the field, this time from Willy Wonka's factory, and probably his most famous edible creation.
9. Crunchy frogs. One of the few Monty Python sketches which wasn't about dead birds, this is considered a classic by fans of the cult comedy troop.
10. Pan galactic gargle blaster. Douglas Adams' cult classic The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy states that drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is 'like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.' Something a few of us might feel waking up on New Year's Day, perhaps.
Sort of 11. The replicator. Strictly speaking this isn't a foodstuff so is a bonus entry on the list. This gizmo, featured in the different series of Star Trek, uses transporter technology to dematerialise quantities of matter and then rematerialise that matter in another form. In other words, it can create any item of food or drink you want, at the touch of a button! If you're intrigued by the absurd level of detail found on the linked page, this video explains how, supposedly, one day this machine could become a reality. Supposedly.
By definition there is an infinite variety of fictional foods in cyberspace and the space between our ears. What are your favourites? Perhaps your parents told you that perfectly ordinary foods had extraordinary properties (like Popeye's spinach), or do you bend the truth for the good of your own children?

Interactional competence in a paired speaking test : features salient to raters
May, Lynette A. (2011) Interactional competence in a paired speaking test : features salient to raters. Language Assessment Quarterly, 8(2), pp. 127-145.

(PDF 97kB)
Accepted Version.
Paired speaking tests are now commonly used in both high-stakes testing and classroom assessment contexts. The co-construction of discourse by candidates is regarded as a strength of paired speaking tests, as candidates have the opportunity to display a wider range of interactional competencies, including turn taking, initiating topics and engaging in extended discourse with a partner, rather than an examiner. However, the impact of the interlocutor in such jointly negotiated discourse and the implications for assessing interactional competence are areas of concern. This article reports on the features of interactional competence that were salient to four trained raters of 12 paired speaking tests through the analysis of rater notes, stimulated verbal recalls and rater discussions. Findings enabled the identification of features of the performance noted by raters when awarding scores for interactional competence, and the particular features associated with higher and lower scores. A number of these features were seen by the raters as mutual achievements, which raises the issue of the extent to which it is possible to assess individual contributions to the co-constructed performance. The findings have implications for defining the construct of interactional competence in paired speaking tests and operationalising this in rating scales.

Rotorua student Kaitlin Cotton says helping others is a reward in itself.
The Year 13 student at Rotorua Girls' High School recently received a Community Leadership Award for her service to the school and the community.
Kaitlin had been part of the Rotorua St John Cadets since she was 10 and throughout the years has completed 21 achievement badges to reach the second highest cadet rank of sergeant. She was also involved in the school's Stage Challenge, student council and assisting with the Wearable Arts and Hair competition. As a first aid certificate holder Kaitlin worked at Rotorua events, such as Raggamuffin, as part of the first response team. She said receiving the award came as a surprise but her family were pretty proud of her achievements.
"They think it's cool and said, 'No one in our family have had this before'," Kaitlin said.
Having grown up in the St John Cadets, she is now teaching other young people the values she was taught.
"At the St John Cadets it's a safe place and we welcome everybody. I've learned so much such as self discipline and confidence," she said. "I don't really feel like what I do is community work for me, it's hugely rewarding and I'm just giving back what I've been given."
She credited the help of divisional manager of the Rotorua St John youth division Annette Binnie in the success she achieved.

On Sunday, mommy noticed I had green goop in my left eye...she wiped it out, but kept an eye on it. Monday morning I was all crusty too, so she went to work and called Dr. Jeri when they opened. They said there were no appts. till Friday, so mom went ahead and made one, but when my skinsis got home, she said it was worse, so mom left work and met me and my skinsis at Dr. Jeri's. I was such a good boy, laid at mom's feet, while all these kitties and little foofoo dogs came in, I only barked at one but was a good boy! Dr. Jeri and Jennifer looked at my eye and said I had an infection but didn't know what could of caused it! Mom said I was her expensive boy for the month of July, cause this was the 4th time I had been to the vet! Yikes! I got meds my eye, and a follow-up on Wednesday! Daddy took me in for that one...everything was looking good, and healing. Daddy told mom on Wednesday night how good I was at Dr. Jeri's, that I just sat in the waiting room with him, laid at his feet, was a good boy in the little room, got cookies, did some dancing for them! Mom says she does not understand how anyone would give me away but she sure is glad they did and that she found me cause I am the best boy ever!
Well, what a weekend we had! We all had so much fun with Jasmine and her family! Her peeps are awesome! Her skin pup is a cutie patootie! We didn't have our wedding ceremony per se, but we are committed to each other. It was just such a busy weekend that we couldn't get it together in time! I miss her, she is so beautiful! She did bring this little pain in the butt to us tho, and then left her! BOL Rory is our new Rott 'n' lab sisser from WA. She is a beauty for sure! Hopefully, she will fit right in! So far, so good!
I miss my Jasmine....
I did it again! Mom tries so hard to keep an eye on me when I am around a pool, but I am such a spaz...get it??? Chaz??? Spaz??? hehehe Anyhoo...We were at our friends house for the 4th of July, and I was lifeguarding around the pool as usual, I even jumped in a few times to try and save Ande (she didn't need it, just likes to swim and splash). At home mom will put me in the house after a while, or make me sit in the pool with her so my feeties get a break so my padst don't get sore. She made me sit down quite often at the party, but I was walking gingerly by the end of the day. She and Shelley put some cream on my feet hoping it would be better by the next day. Well, the next morning, I couldn't walk, so mom found a doggie urgent care and off we went! I apparently rubbed more off then normal, so they put some healing cream on me, bandaged up my feeties, and mom took me back to where we were staying. I am feeling better, I go see our vet this morning...I am walking a lot better, so hopefully the bandages can come off and stay off...will keep you posted! Mom says she will never forget my water mukluks again...I told her I was sorry for being such a spaz, she told me it is ok, cause I am her spaz!
Chaz the Spaz who loves Jaz!

New male fragrances that aren't endorsed by David Beckham are pretty rare these days, so it's refreshing to see a magazine like Monocle decide to make one. Given the care they've taken in designing their magazine and website, it's an almost certainly that that Hinoki will be given the same amount of care and attention.
COS in Monocle magazine
Now that COS is a success, with three more stores set to open this year, it's nice to look back on what they wanted to achieve and whether they did so. Thankfully, this Monocle.com video allows you to do just that. For those who haven't read Monocle magazine, it's basically an international current affairs magazine with a website that has clearly been designed with the magazine, not as an afterthought.

I have been playing and writing music since my teen years. Before I was good at song-writing, I was a decent violin player. Then I learned about music theory and music composition. I learned how one style of music was different from others, such as classical versus rock 'n roll. As I developed my song-writing skills, I was able to develop my own style.
Similarly in stock picking, one learns the fundamentals such as sales and earnings growth, gross margins, etc. When one gets proficient at stock picking, a unique style emerges. Take the Gardner brothers. David's style of investing is Rule-Breaking companies. While Tom's investment style is Rule-Making companies.
While I was a music major in college, I was one of the few song-writing students. Most of the other students were far better musicians than me. Put sheet music in front of them, and they would play the notes perfectly. I liked to play around with the music, to improvise.
My musician friends would most likely be at home with mechanical investing. Show them what notes to play and they play it well. A mechanical investing strategy shows you what stocks to buy, and then you buy them. But you can choose different styles of mechanical strategies to suit your taste. There's the value style with the Foolish Four and PEG. Or there are the growth styles such as the RS26 and Keystone.
What if you're not musically inclined? You don't have to create or play your own music. You can listen and buy music created by others. Walk into a music store, pick up a CD from the shelf and take home the product.
If learning how to pick stocks is not your thing, then mutual funds are the perfect product for you. Like getting a variety of songs in a music CD, you get a variety of stocks in a mutual fund. The index fund is the preferred product for Fools, of course. It's been on the top 10 charts for years (beating 90% of the other stock mutual funds). Best of all, it's not likely to go out of style.

Cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Additional adoption events to be announced. For more information, please call Leigh @ 442-234-8405 (cell)
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a cat or kitten versus getting cats for sale or kittens for sale from a cat breeder? When someone is breeding kittens, they are creating new cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of cat or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a cat for sale from a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a cat or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

according to this review - first one I have seen.
In Short: Not only the worst PlayStation Move game but probably the worst motion-controlled title ever. Riding through traffic on a real chair would be more entertaining.
Pros: The idea sounds like it would be quite fun if it were an ultra cheap download or a mini-game in some other title. (And it had a completely different control system.)
Cons: Comically awful control system that combines the very worst of motion controls with a horrendously overcomplicated set of inputs. Everything else.
Score: 1/10

- A 41 percent reduction in central line-associated bloodstream infections since 2008, up from the 32 percent reduction reported in 2010. Progress in preventing these infections was seen in intensive care units (ICU), wards, and neonatal ICUs in all reporting facilities. A central line is a tube that is placed in a large vein of a patient's neck or chest to give important medical treatment. When not put in correctly or kept clean, central lines can become a route for germs to enter the body and cause serious bloodstream infections.
- A 17 percent reduction in surgical site infections since 2008, up from the 7 percent reduction reported in 2010.This improvement was not evident for all procedure types, and there is still substantial opportunity for improvement across a range of operative procedures.
- A 7 percent reduction in catheter-associated urinary tract infections since 2009, which is the same percentage of reduction that was reported in 2010. While there were modest reductions in infections among patients in general wards, there was essentially no reduction in infections reported in critical care locations.
CDC report highlights areas for improvement in an effort to protect patients ATLANTA, Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Hospitals in the U.S. continue to make progress in the fight against central line-associated bloodstream infections and some surgical site infections, according to a report issued today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Catheter-associated urinary tract infections remained unchanged between 2010 and 2011. "Reductions in some of the deadliest health care-associated infections are encouraging, especially when you consider the costs to both patients and the health care system," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. "This report also suggests that hospitals need to increase their efforts to track these infections and implement control strategies that we know work ." The report looked at data submitted to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), CDC's premiere infection tracking system, which receives data from more than 11,500 health care facilities across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. The number of infections reported was compared with data from 2010, as well as with a national baseline. Patrick Conway, chief medical officer of the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) said, "The significant decrease in central line and surgical site infections means that thousands of patients avoid prolonged hospitalizations and the risk of dying in the hospital. Providers, working with CDC and CMS, are fulfilling Medicare's quality measurement reporting requirements for hospital infections and demonstrating that, together, we can dramatically improve the safety and quality of care for patients." CDC reported for 2011:

Once you've decided that a graduate degree is the right choice for you, it's time to begin your search for the perfect school. The process of gaining acceptance into graduate school is one that can take a fair amount of time and money. With the cost of application fees, postage, transcript handling fees and the sheer amount of time that it takes to complete all of the paperwork required for grad school, it's important to narrow down your choices to about half a dozen schools.
When choosing which schools to apply to, the most important thing is to find a program that fits your ambitions.
If you're going for your MBA or a Master's degree for professional reasons, you'll want to find a school that has a solid department overall.
If you plan on an academic career and a doctoral degree, or are in a research heavy field, then it is a good idea to look at the specific research interests of professors, as you will usually have a close student-mentor relationship.
Once you've found a few schools with respected departments in your field of study, make sure you have a clear idea of all of the deadlines and requirements.
Find out the testing dates of any standardized test you need for your field of study.
Most graduate programs require statements of intent or purpose, transcripts, samples of your work or research, letters of recommendation and standardized test scores.
Be aware that different universities have different requirements, and you want to allow yourself plenty of time to get the materials you need together in order to make deadlines.
While researching all the schools and options available can take time, it's worth it in the end. Good luck with your search!
If you are curious about what an MBA is, you have come to the right place to have your questions answered. The acronym MBA stands for Master of Business Administration, which means that an MBA degree is a Master of Business Administration degree. If you graduated from college with an undergraduate degree in any field of business and you want to continue your education, an MBA would be one of the best choices that is available to you.

Well, in addition to people who are interested solely in continuing their education (as mentioned in the first paragraph of this post), there are a lot of benefits that come with obtaining an MBA. Obviously, one of the most common reasons that people pursue an MBA is to secure a better job. Once you have an MBA, you will most likely have a shot at obtaining jobs that were not previously available to you (such as those that are at executive levels). However, it's important to remember that an MBA is not a magic solution to taking your career where you want it to be. As many business schools that offer MBA programs will tell you, the MBA isn't the end of your journey, but instead is a means to an end (and by end, they are obviously referring to the point you want to reach in your career). In addition to the prestige of having an MBA, you have to keep in mind that it comes with many additional benefits, such as opportunities for expanding networking with other professionals.
A Masters of Business Administration or an MBA is one of the most useful degrees available for anyone wishing to go into a business field. This allows them to get into fields where money is often dealt with and can easily give them a chance at working hard into a higher level of business when applying for a career at any business. An MBA basically trains you in business and allows you to further yourself up the corporate ladder to better business positions. It does not really give you any advances in management as you may think it would, but a business education is very important when you wish to work in business.
A degree in MBA is usually very useful when you want to work in a big business or simply to start your own business. You will learn everything that you need to know for your business needs and will be able to apply them when you start your business. It is important to remember that an MBA can only get you so far, the rest is up to you as a person and how well you work in your business environment to succeed. It is very common for people to get an MBA and waste their time because they do not understand what it is.

Unless you want to really put your resources and priority into your education online, you can get your degree of MBA in very little time. This means that you can take advantage of what the MBA has to offer right away and advance your career in the business world without having to take as long in conventional universities or colleges of business.

You will be able to apply for executive positions with an MBA. An MBA does not automatically mean you will get a better job but it raises the bar to getting a more prestigious job.
An MBA will definitely give you an edge for administrative positions. Some questions to ask your self is are you going to work full time while getting your MBA? Will your present company pay for any of the tuition? Will they save your job if you have to go do a full time Internship? Will you get a promotion with an MBA? Are there jobs out there for MBAs?
You cannot go wrong in getting a Master's degree in any field. You will be able to work full time and go to school in the evening, as many schools can accommodate working students. It's a hard grind to work full time and go to school especially if you have a family. It is a little easier if you are single.
Having some business experience is helpful to get into MBA programs. It is more difficult for people who go right from tier bachelor's degree to graduate school. If you want a job in management or administration you need an MBA.
Enrollment into MBA programs depends on the economy. Basically, if enrollment goes up, the economy is down. There are different specializations of MBA degrees in Quantitative Analysis, Economics Marketing and Organizational Behavior.
Many people think that an MBA will help them to succeed in business. While this is generally not true, it does offer a proper backing to allow for management opportunities and business knowledge that may not be possible for a normal employee to know without having been schooled for an MBA. The most affordable MBA options are available online and can be done in the student's free time. The beauty of this type of schooling is that it could be done in conjunction with the current job that the student holds. This type of degree can also be accelerated as long as the student focuses and takes the time to really dedicate their time to getting their degree. In other cases, a student may need a longer time to complete their learning so they can take as long as they need with an online course for an MBA.
Traditional methods of earning an MBA may take too long and some people simply do not have the time to enroll in a traditional college or vocational school. There are plenty of great reasons why these individuals will want to look into options available online because these options will be able to lower the costs of getting an education while providing a feasible way to earn an MBA while working. The MBA degree program really gives a person the credentials to work in a management position that they would normally not be able to manage due to the fact that their education background does not prove their abilities. Even management professionals that have been promoted before these options were available are being urged to gain the proper education or risks of being replaced by another highly qualified individual may occur. There are plenty of great options available online for studying and receiving an MBA degree in less time!
There are many benefits in earning a Masters of Business Administration degree, both tangible and immeasurable.
The most obvious is that an advanced degree will often result in increased compensation. Some companies have strict salary regulations, and an advanced degree can earn you a higher spot on the pay scale. In other cases, the chance to apply your new skills can result in internal promotions. Or your new degree can make you eligible for jobs in different fields, opening up new opportunities within the company you already work for or allowing you to branch out in a completely new direction. Research shows those with an MBA earn substantially more money and have higher positions than those without, and usually move much more rapidly up the promotion ladder.
But perhaps even more important are the intangible benefits that a Master's degree offers. The ability to solve problems in new and creative ways increases both your productivity and the productivity of your department and company. Many Master's Degree programs will help you become a much more effective manager by teaching you how to get the most out of your people and how to build an effective team. The time you spend in classes will allow you to look at situations from a new perspective.
Different MBA programs specialize in different aspects of the business world, such as accounting, human resources and marketing MBAs, while other programs are more generalized. Choosing a specialized MBA program allows you new opportunities for growth, while a generalized one provides you with the flexibility to move in any direction you choose. And no matter which program you choose, don't underestimate the confidence that successfully completing an MBA program can provide!
Distance Learning – Online MBA Programs
While a few institutions are experimenting with distance learning in other fields, the most common and accepted online Master's programs are for MBAs.
Why get an MBA online?
There are many reasons to choose an online program, rather than a traditional brick and mortar school, to earn your MBA degree. The most obvious is convenience. Online MBA programs are usually much more flexible. Instead of regularly-scheduled class meetings, you have the opportunity to do work when you have the time. And because you both study and learn from home, you not only cut out commute time, but you can fit your studies around work and family obligations.
There are other benefits to an online MBA program. Classes are often accelerated, allowing you to complete your program more quickly. Because geographical boundaries are not an issue, they often have a larger variety of classes to choose from. And because your classmates may be from any of the 50 states – or even from a growing number of foreign countries – you can gain a truly global perspective through your interactions.
There are many things to consider before you begin your online MBA program. In order to make sure that your studies will be a success, a candidate should be:
An online education isn't right for everybody. But for a growing number of students and employers, it is the perfect choice.
Scholarship or grant applications can be quite difficult and complicated. Definitely not only does just about every distinct scholarship body would like different things, nevertheless not one of them manage to set the actual deadline schedules for that exact same week, which without doubt would certainly confuse an individual a lot more! When you find yourself applying regarding college, it could possibly appear to be you're going round within an countless circle, attempting to complete duties which you have already begun yet relatively getting nowhere. It's rather a chore simply to complete a single application to your college, aside from make out several regarding scholarships at the same time. On the other hand, assistance is taking place and you may help make life much easier for you using these simple guidelines:
Examine just about every application very carefully.
Each and every scholarship or grant needs something unique simply because absolutely no two would be the same, which means you can not simply complete one with regard to them all and wish that you'll have a measure of success. It doesn't work that way. There's always something different anticipated of you, no matter when there is a word limit on your own personal record as well as a lesser number of words of is suggestion. Unless you see clearly and comply using the rules then your application will probably be dumped immediately.
Prepare yourself ahead of time.
Even ahead of you start to explore scholarships in depth, you need to practice your own personal statement. Style is essential which means you must write it out the summer months before you decide to apply to make sure that you have it absolutely correct. If your personal record displays you then it really is ideal for your applications. Hold the actual copy of the draft you had written and then make use of that as a basis on which to make your own actual personal statements with regards to applying for real.
Use and work with the particular space you could have.
Attempt not to make use of extension sheets with scholarship applications considering that the probability will be that staff or assessors are certain to get bored to death half way through. Make an effort to maintain each of the selective information into a minimal however include as much activities as possible as you can within your list. You might actually put in a few straight into your personal statement in case you use up all your space. On the other hand, unless you have sufficient space then omit those that usually are not that important, and prepare this out ahead of time since there is nothing worse that Tipp-ex marks with an application.
Have a look at the things they want.
It is best to take a look at exactly what the provider connected with the scholarship or grant is actually asking and provide them the things they want. Do not ever lie when using application form but orient your characteristics to your benefit and advantage. When they are seeking an individual along with personality then connect that within your way of writing. If they're searching for honesty then point out a good example of the idea. Constantly backup whatever you need to state by simply tailoring whatever you recognize about yourself to the things they are trying to find in you!
Often provide your main reasons why you would like to study a particular subject.
A lot of individuals take the fall out at this stage as they do not explain their particular good reasons for planning to take a specific subject. There has to be a good reason behind your own choice yet neglecting to communicate the idea or screwing up to put your reasons over in a very reasonable or logical and effectively-reasoned approach can eventually make sure that you drop in the final hurdle!
Examine and Read it through.
Never send out an application form for any scholarship without having to read it trough first. Ensure that you include and point out exactly what you would like to say as well as in a transparent and brief but logical approach so it will be easy to read. If this passes your own decisive eyes then It should surely pass theirs as well!
Situations these days, a lot of people would choose to earn a lot more than what they are receiving. It is simply realistic that they actually do. A number of them make use of part time work in order to earn a bit of extra. However you will find individuals that choose to engage with a master associated with business administration or MBA degree.
There are tons of thoughts and ideas going around about this issue. A few believe that whenever they come with an MBA written on their resume, it could possibly bag them a much better or higher paying work. Although some people might think that practical knowledge, besides education, is the vital thing. These are classified as the people preferring to have years on a job or in the workplace, instead of spending time within an academic institution.
Filter systems get the most away from all possible worlds right? Some enroll online with regards to MBA and they make this happen when they are working. Thats given that they dont actually mean to transfer jobs. They simply wish to continue earning when they are pursuing a college degree that could give a secure plus more financially stable future.
Applying for an internet MBA is usually suggested to parents who work from home most likely to manage your children in order to manage your home. If you think maybe regarding it, pursuing an MBA on the web is quite beneficial to the average person while he gets to do more with out sacrificing much.
Revive think of it, MBAs are necessary for whoever has been used by more(a) three or four years. There's truth for the belief that having experienced the running atmosphere, the employee knows better on the subject and not simply those who are taught in some recoverable format.
Those who pursue MBA following college are occasionally encouraged. But realistically speaking, marketing and advertising if they do venture out there in the real world first before they enroll themselves in another university.
When producing an essential decision in your life such as pursuing an MBA online or not, its safer to come up with a pros and cons list. We have now provided you with such:
1. It will help you in staying competitive. An MBA provides each student a good sharp edge. Automobile employer is looking for you to definitely work under him, naturally he prefers anyone who has an MBA. Another edge of applying online for an MBA allows you to gain experience with the task place yet still find out more about businesses, marketing along with other fiscal transactions as part of your sparetime. Thus, about to catch within the losing end after you apply for a position both of you contain the education and the experience.
2. It doesnt matter when you pursued it online or otherwise not. Statistics show that those with MBA degrees have high-paying positions in management. It also signifies that there're getting higher salaries.
3. Obviously, pursuing a web based degree, the benefit could be that the student could be located around the globe knowning that wouldnt be described as a problem whatsoever. A student interacts while using faculty through email. His schedule is under her own control. Provided that he passes the prerequisites, then there wouldnt be any risk.
1. Online or not, pursuing an MBA is pricey. The irony is that those who usually hope MBA are individuals who need extra revenue. The reason they desire extra revenue is that they use a family to support. Whenever they would really need to join a class, regardless of whether its online, they'd must really ponder on the matter whether they can shell out that much cash. The amount would they gain from this investment?
2. Because there is no monitoring, students is often lax on the subject of submitting papers and needed requirements. If you find no self-discipline, than the will not likely work.
3. As convenient as getting MBA on the web is to the modern times, there are still some successful and high-paying companies who prefer the more common classroom set-up. That is certainly something trainees need to remember.
If your person is resolute to pursue a web-based MBA degree then he should carefully look at the universities who provide the best and trusted accredited quality education. The University of Phoenix is a.
Ultimately, its always the persons choice. Also, thatever decision he arises with, there would always be benefits and drawbacks, but then again, how can you gain something when you are not willing to invest?
Web based Education and learning : A Very Good Option for Businesses Than In-House Executive MBA Programs
Many businesses related companies offer professional MBA programs for their senior professionals by means of an affiliation with a traditional college or university. While most of these programs are geared toward those who do not would like to take a break from their professions and then enroll fulltime, they are definitely not exclusive in their objective. With the demand of online MBA programs increasing, it appears only a matter of time before E-MBA programs might find a decline in quantity.
The main advantage of an executive MBA program is the fact that working people may use prior business experience toward their college degree. Though online courses generally tend not to recognize past experiences as credit toward the completion, a few help to make exceptions. In the past, E-MBA programs were the only process working professionals can acquire an MBA without full time enrollment. Online offerings have presented many more options for those in this particular situation over the last several years. Even though the end result of either decision will probably be a good education for the postgraduate student, online offerings are a better choice for businesses.
Whenever businesses and organizations affiliate with a university or college to be able to offer an E-MBA program, they are really essentially guaranteeing themselves of executives with the exact same learning experiences, apart from chosen quantities. Mainly because companies are better having many executives with impartial experiences that can be brought to the table compared to a combined conscience that details one institutions training methods, a lot of companies are deciding on for allowing their people to enroll in the online MBA program of their own individual decision.
The totally obvious instant benefit is the fact that companies can utilize several different approaches when marketing, trouble solving, or simply carrying out company affairs. Since the different curriculum and instruction may vary extensively between one online institution along with the next, there is certainly a much better opportunity that relationship between executives will result in the best possible ideas, solutions and policies. Additionally, online MBA programs afford executives the ability to interact with other students who originate from different backgrounds both socially along with the job market as well.
Executives have to depend on their online alternatives for group projects rather than their colleagues, which is often the scenario in E-MBA programs. Having conversations with various students who hold differing experience levels and an unfamiliar viewpoint can provide enrichment and knowledge that staying within a close knit group simply cannot. Businesses who care about well rounded professionals would do well to take note.

- - No Engine Sailing .. thoughts .. (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/59672-no-engine-sailing-thoughts.html)
No Engine Sailing .. thoughts ..
I've got my eye on a nice 30' boat. She is in very good condition, hull/deck..
rig/sails/ground tackle .. but :: she has an old, original Atomic 4 gasoline engine. Been there, done that, not going back . NEVER. Since she is a 4 hour drive from home base, kinda puts me at a big disadvantage. For fun, and some knowledge, I called a local re-power marina. $10,000 .. That was for a small diesel, and to get it in place, and maybe the price would be a little more..
I mulled and sculled .. Then I thought :: $12,000 sure would buy a pretty good zodiac/with outboard .. In fact, a second hand sure dingy with second hand outboard !! Heck, for a couple of thousand I'd find something very sweet. So, I got thinking .. no inboard. Use just the push dingy. A no inboard motor sailor. At least until boat is back at home port. Anyone do anything like this?
Is there some work around, besides the AT4? Is there a little engine that could be placed where the AT4 is now? Something simple? I love the boat, but I am not living with another Atomic 4 engine, no way. Those aren't engines, they are diseases. I hate the ... things. Had three cruising boats with the AT4, big pain in the ass..
No engine? Any thoughts ? Work around s ?
Check out "Wind and Tide: An Introduction to Cruising in Pure Sailing Craft" by Jermone FitzGerald ISBN 0-595-21733-8. That entire book is about sailing without an engine, it is definitely done, I don't know by how many. The author doesn't even talk about using a dinghy with a motor, he talks about having oars and/or a sculling oar to move the boat when it must move without sail power. Check it out, it is worth reading, lots of interesting information. Chapter 1 - "Why Choose to Cruise in an Engineless Sailboat ?"
One especially interesting thing in the book is the argument that sailing without an engine actually makes the boat sail better because it doesn't have all that weight in the back of the boat.
But you keep looking at boats with A4s in them. there are thousands of boats out there that can't be given away. keep looking!
I'm with Denise on this one - keep looking.
The idea of a motorless existence may have some superficial attraction, but it sure wouldn't be for me. On the basis that, no matter how careful and well prepared you are, there is always that outside chance of ending up in a situation where the motor is going to save you from death or, even worse, a wrecked boat. The rest of the time, a motor just makes simple things like docking that much easier.
With a bit of patience, you should be able to find something you can fall in love with which also has a nice Yanmar, Volvo or Universal diesel to aid propulsion.
When you can call the shots, using a tender as a "pusher" can work. When was the last time you called all the shots? I can just imagine you wanting to get into a harbor over a bar in a building 4' sea, trying to jump into the dinghy and tow yourself in before it gets too rough or dark or dangerous to make it that day. We had friends who had to heave to for three days outside a port once, because it was too rough to run the channel -- and they had a 50' schooner with an inboard. Sailing is about reducing the chances of drowning when you can. This is one of those chances.
I have to agree with MP. The Atomic is the bomb, and a great motor. To have the skills to sail without a motor is great, but there will come a time when you wishede you had one. Even Lynn & Larry have taken a tow........i2f
Don Street has sailed Iolaire a 46 footer for 50 odd years all over the Caribbean and around the Alantic circuit without an engine.
I believe he has finally relented and installed an electric jobbie though.
If the question is just to do the delivery, then do a repower, I would say go for it in most instances. If there is an area that you will definitely need an engine because of something like current, then think twice but if it is a relatively easy sail, do the delivery.
There are a few options for getting limited propulsion. One is using an inflatable as a yawl boat. I think that a lot of people would be shocked that all but 3 of the Maine windjammers have no inboard engines and use yawl boats and they are operating commercially. The other option would be to mount an outboard bracket on the stern and use that for the delivery.
For a permanent fix, neither of those two options are ideal unless you are a purist and don't want an engine. I suspect that you would really miss the inboard quickly if you went engineless. There is also the cost of the repower to consider.
I just can't let all of this go by without poking a stick at it. :D
