Pantry drawer slide recommendations?
1 Attachment(s)
I'm building my own kitchen cabinets and so far, so good (see the attached photo). These are face frame cabinets, and I'm basically following the method described in Udo Schmidt's fine book.
The face frames are constructed out of 3/4" birch and the boxes are 3/4" birch plywood. The face frames are (mostly) 1.5" wide (2.5" at the top and also where some of the cabinets join together).
Anyways, we want to have pullout "drawers" in the pantry and I'm having a hard time figuring out which slides to use. I want them to be bulletproof, self-closing, and soft-close would be very nice. I plan to have 5 pullouts in the pantry (3 in the middle section and 2 in the bottom part) and I don't mind spending a bit on the slides. Also, space is at a premium in our small kitchen, so I'd prefer not to waste any more space than necessary.
Your recommendations and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
I use Fulterer #FR771 panty slides, The entire unit with 5 baskets slide out with the door and has soft closing. If you want individual pull outs, which are much less convenient than go with Blum blumotion slides.
could be done. No real benefit. The slides I mentioned come in almost every height. I did make one cabinet with two pullouts tied to the door face. These need to be perfectly laid out to pull out smoothly. Not worth the effort. Having all separate pullouts is less convenient unless you memorize where you store everything. The space lost by the slides is more than the space lost by the fulerter units.
Thanks again. It looks like the Fulterer unit you mentioned needs 59mm on top and 80mm, which is about 5.5":
Since I currently have 2 separate pantry openings (about 28" on bottom and 35" on top), that seems like a lot of space to give up. I guess I can pretty easily modify my design to get one large opening, in which case the space is less of an issue.
OK, so here's one more question. The Fulterer website indicates that spaces wider than 18" or higher than 72" should have 2 of these slides. My (modified) space will be about 65" high and about 23" wide. Based on your experience, do you think it is really necessary to have 2 of the slides (assuming the weight doesn't exceed the 275 lb limit)?
you already have a cabinet made, use units that fit into these openings. like this one on the same site.
I have built my own kitchen cabinets with pantry pull outs as well as appliance lifts, and soft closing drawers. All of the neccessary hardware I got from Lee Valley tools. My research found that these gave me the highest load bearing as well as the overall endurance. For me I have found them to be the best value. Nothing worse than having your lady load the shelves to the max, ( as they always will) and having the system fail twist or worse yet collapse.
I buy mine in kits, with the baskets. Making individual boxes and getting them to attach balance and adjust is more than it is worth. Is this for your own kitchen? If so, you may accept the individual Blum slides and pullouts. And try to make them work together with a test door front. It will work, just a lot of tweaking. But the Blum can be adjusted many ways.
you might want to check this out
21" slides. I use undermount for these reasons... they work much smoother and I get more side to side space and I have more adjustments available. Only need to deduct 1/4" clearance. Side mounts need 1" less. You are using face frame so you loose at the frame also. I make frameless cabinets. Rockler just started stocking some new full extension soft close slides that looked interesting.
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately we do not provide the manufacturer information to anyone in order to protect our suppliers after a considerable investment in sourcing different products from around the world. The only exception to that rule is when the supplier name is on the product, or the packaging material, and in this case, it is not.
We can tell you the country of origin for these slides is Taiwan

All I can say is I have used these in the 100's and not one was faulty in any way. Have not had a problem returning anything to them either, as they do stand behind their products. If you do not feel comfortable then maybe Lee Valley is not a store you should deal with.

In Brno, we first visited the Roma Musuem and the modernist Tugenhat Villa, which was built in the 1930s and is still decorated with period pieces.
Afterwards, we ventured out of the city to the Moravsky Kras region full of underground caves. It was another one of the neatest things we did on the trip. We got to walk through stalactite and stalagmite formations and then take a boatride through rivers in the underground cavities. I would highly recommend this if you like the outdoors!
I truly enjoyed exploring the city itself the most, the town square and its adjoining streets were lovely and had the old feel of Prague without all of the crowd.

Tarot Card Meanings: Understanding the Ace of Cups in a Tarot Reading
The Ace of Cups is the card of emotional rebirth. It represents the spiritual aspects of love and commitment. Its tarot card meanings often refer to love, joy, happiness, and feelings of well-being.
Upright Ace of Cups Tarot Card Meanings in a Tarot Reading
The upright Ace of Cups often signifies new beginnings, particularly with relationships. This includes engagements, marriages, and pregnancies. The Ace of Cups often brings news of all types of beginnings such as the birth of a new relationship, children, a new found inspiration, or a new creative endeavor. It also indicates spiritual enlightenment and intuitive development. It assures one that they will and can experience true love. This is the type of love that brings joy, happiness and fulfillment.
When the upright Ace of Cups comes up in a tarot reading, you can anticipate that your feelings and emotions will be deeply affected. The Ace of Cups often suggests that you may be entering into a new relationship that could lead to marriage, commitment, friendship or deep attachment. If you are in a relationship, you will discover a new level of intimacy and acceptance with your partner. If you are still single, you may soon meet Mr. or Mrs. Right. Love is in the air. The Ace of Cups can also indicate a pregnancy.
In a Tarot reading, an upright Ace of Cups refers to abundance in all areas of one's life. Investments and projects will flourish. No matter which career path you choose, success is sure to follow. The Ace of Cups can also refer to a new creative partnership or opportunity.
Reversed Ace of Cups Tarot Card Meanings in a Tarot Reading
In a reversed position, the Ace of Cups can indicate the loss or separation of a relationship. In most cases, however, the Ace of Cups usually refers to matters that affect one's heart. You may be experiencing some discord or disappointment with your partner or friendships. Perhaps your relationships are not fulfilling you emotionally. A relationship may lack the commitment that you seek. You may be experiencing feelings of sadness and loss. There may be issues or trauma from your past that is preventing you from feeling happy and secure in the present.
In a Tarot reading, the Ace of Cups can sometimes indicate that you are avoiding getting close to others. You may be unwilling to accept love from others. You may feel rejected or manipulated. Perhaps you are having marital problems and your heart feels heavy. In some cases, an Ace of Cups can warn you that your behavior may be self-center or too egocentric.

Thanks so much for your follow-up.

Probably special order unless the parts manager keeps tabs on new bulletins.
Does this also solve the difficulty in filling the tank?
I don't get any "thumping" noises from the gas tank. When the tank is about half full I hear gas sloshing around for a brief second, only while backing out of my garage. I never hear it while driving or any other time. I heard the exact same sound with my last car. Again, I only heard it while backing out of my garage. For those who do hear a thumping noise I'd suggest getting this fix. Personally, I think I'll pass on this one, as I don't feel I really need it. I'm curious to know if the added baffles will decrease the fuel capacity. If the exterior dimensions of the new tank are the same, it would have to.
GM has the newly designed gas tanks out and installed mine the other day, along with the fuel sending unit. All is well, and no more thumping at 3/4 full tank.
I really enjoy my 2010 SRX and love the drive, style, etc. One thingI find irksome is that when I fill the tank, I hear a thumping noise from the rear whenever I drive over bumps, railroad tracks, etc. When I turn the car off, I'll hear a few thumps from the rear after the engine shuts down. Once I burn off a few gallons, the noise goes away until the next fill up. I've read in a few other posts that I'm not alone with this (reassuring, I guess) and that some dealers have said this is a gas tank issue and there is no fix.
It's something I can live with, and I've also tried filling it less than full to avoid the issue. My main concern is that this may lead to other issues down the road.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Have you taken your SRX to the dealership yet concerning this issue? I see that you said that some dealers have said it's a gas tank issue, but I wasn't sure if you were talking about the forum posts you read. If you would like to work with a dealership concerning this issue and would like my assistance, please feel free to private message me. I would be more than happy to assist you in working with the dealership. I would need your name, contact info, VIN, mileage, and dealership you would like to work with. Thank you very much for your time.

I had my tank replaced under the service bulletin several months ago. No problems since then!
Hi SoCal,
Was the replacement covered by warranty?
Glad to hear the dealer replaced your tank under the service bulletin months back and your vehicle is driving properly since. I am happy you have been satisfied with the dealership you were working with minus the distance. Continue to enjoy driving your SRX and don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns!

Any safety concerns with this or is it purely cosmetic/noise ?

1. Wear A Sleep Mask (Even If You Think They Make You Look Like A Huge Nerd)
"Hey, look at the businessman nerd wearing the sleep mask! Ha ha! Yeah! Let's make fun of him for looking like a nerd! Except wait: he's asleep …can't hear our insults and teasing … hm, it seems to be a pretty deep sleep … relaxed face, breathing calmly … probably already in rapid eye movement sleep, probably getting lots of energy right now … energy he could use for doing business … or having fun … maybe windsurfing … and he looks like a newborn babe, tranquil and beautiful … oh crap, I bet he's having some really awesome dreams right now, too … probably dreaming about baseball … and babes … or maybe dinosaurs! Oh no! I'm jealous as hell at this cool nerd for dreaming about dinosaurs!!"
Congratulations, in-flight bullies, you've learned the golden rule: there's nothing nerdy about getting a good night's sleep.
2. No Caffeine
Urban legend has it that teenagers love energy and hate sleeping. When I asked a local cluster of teens about this, they spit mouthfuls of caustic energy drink at me, which is Teen for "Myth Confirmed." Ergo, if you want to sleep on a plane, don't be a teen: avoid caffeinated beverages for at least 6 hours before the flight.
3. Fly Direct If At All Possible
Sleeping 2.5 hours then 2.5 hours more after waking up DOES NOT EQUAL 5 HOURS OF SLEEP. Sleep math is different than normal math and I'm not a professor but imagine me "being real" and sitting backward on a classroom chair as I explain this to you in grainy '80s educational footage: you need to sleep at least 4 hours at a time for it to have any meaningful effect. If you try to string together small naps, you will be a mindless golem the next day, incapable of using anything but the simplest buzzwords at your chosen place of employment/education/bodybuilding. If you are already a golem, then go ahead I guess, save $30 bucks by doing a layover for a few hours in Denver. But for everyone else: fly direct. It's book smart … and street smart!
4. Burning The Midnight Oil? Make Sure Your Computer Is Charged
Nothing ruins a midnight cram sesh like a computer that does not turn on. Our pals at Virgin America offer outlets in every row, so if you're flying with them, no sweat. But with anyone else, be attentive and keep your monitor brightness low, or else you'll have to resort to a pen and notepad to do work, which is fine … if you're a crazed neo-Luddite serf!
5. Pick Your Seat Wisely
Pick your seat with an eye toward your sleeping idiosyncrasies. Some folks need silence to fall and stay asleep, so they should steer clear of the jet engines. Other people like lots of legroom and sleep sitting up: they should try to get an exit row seat. Still other people are vampires. They can only sleep in coffins, which can be checked at the gate. Ha ha! Just kidding. Vampires are folkloric beings.
6. Go To The Airport Tired
Go to the airport tired. This should be obvious, but if you're going to fly red-eye and go to work on Monday, the worst thing you can do is have a lazy Sunday topped off with a half-dozen afternoon naps. Get up early the day of your flight, exercise, think about exhausting things (economics, lumberyards) and try to remain active.
7. Make A Good Playlist
If you're going to listen to music, make a good playlist ahead of time. If you trust shuffle, then don't blame me when you are snatched from dreamland by the bass cannons of Admiral Dubstep. And if you're flying Virgin America (Sponsor plug! Hi guys!), they've got a pretty fantastic bunch of music you can pick and choose (free-of-charge) with your in-seat entertainment system.
8. Bring Earplugs (Just In Case)
Earplugs are a great backup just in case you're next to a crying baby. And under normal circumstances, they provide you the greatest level of silence possible. All it takes is two earplugs to create a Zen-like headspace that will allow you to think with the greatest possible clarity about which fellow passengers you'd hit on if you were standing next to them at the baggage carousel.
9. Wear Comfy Clothes & Slip-Off Shoes
Wear comfortable clothes, and shoes that you can take off easily. This is not the time for high fashion, this is the time for the closest socially acceptable equivalent of pajamas. Or wear actual pajamas. Wear a burlap sack. Nothing matters. There are no rules, anywhere. Just remember that I love you.
10. Bring A Pillow (They Are So Comfortable)
Bring a pillow. Yes, they can be bulky, but if the great pain in your life is complaining about the bulkiness of a pillow, please send me a postcard from Heaven, because I want to see what kind of stamps God uses.
11. Have A Drink
When all else fails: have a drink or two. Plenty of fellow passengers will be doing the same, either to relax, or to calm their nerves, or possibly just because they like the taste of gin. Maybe all three! A drink is a great way to start a conversation, too, so don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with any imbibers within close proximity. And lastly: cheers to you, red-eye flyer! May sleep come easily, and may your dreams be calm and undisturbed by mid-flight turbulence.

Almost every weekend, I try to go for a hike somewhere in the Bay Area -- deep redwood forests, marshy fields, ocean vistas -- I get to see it all. And oftentimes, I wish that I had the talent of a landscape/nature photographer so I could capture the visuals that I come across -- a sleeping lizard, a lush waterfall, or an intricate leaf. Taking a look at photographer
Michael Myers' images brings it all back. His landscapes and wildlife photography are vibrant and intimate -- he captures the beauty and wonder of the great outdoors. (See his work at mmyersphoto.com.)
"I noticed early on that I was inadvertently framing images void of artificial, human element," says Myers. "If it does have something man-made, it is antique, rustic and weathered, like an old, barbed wire fence."
Myers explains that when he's out taking photos, he's inspired by the flow of nature around him and the surprise of each moment.
"I love being in the field and becoming part of the landscape," Myers says. "It is amazing what happens when you have the patience to let nature come to you. People often ask how much time it took me to get a particular shot and I don't know how to answer, because when I'm out there, especially with my camera gear, I honestly don't know what happens with time. Plus there's usually more to it than just the single image they are seeing."
He started this work about 15 years ago and one of his favorite aspects is what he calls "finding an animal's personality."
He says, "From an environmental and ethical perspective, I don't impose stress upon an animal so I'm able to witness its unaltered behavior. From an artistic and technical position, I hope to frame and capture that unique moment in time. There is a level of intimacy involved when photographing wildlife. The animal has to be comfortable with your presence and that has to be reciprocated, or you're not going to get that type of shot."
Take a look at Myers' work during a co-op show the first weekend of May with the locally based Young Love Collective from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 4 at El Dorado Studios, 1021 El Dorado Avenue in Live Oak. He also has a show up at the Soquel Water District Gallery until May 17.
In recent columns, I've talked about my visit to Enter Through the Gift Shop at the Tannery. But what I haven't mentioned is the artists whose work has been showcased in the adjacent Santa Cruz Institute of Contemporary Art gallery. While her installation there has now come and gone,
Crystal Kamoroff is not to be forgotten. And really, who could forget an artist who chooses not to hang things from the walls, but rather from the rafters? Her Kamoroff's ladder installation was recently shown at the SCICA gallery's recent Alter Eco exhibit.
"Working at the SCICA was a great outlet for me," says Kamoroff. "It really could not have come at a better time as my current studio and workspace is quite small. The gallery is an invaluable venue both to emerging and established artists providing a serious space to explore and present new ideas and art."
As a mixed-media artist, she says, "I am very influenced by materials and they play a significant role in my work. I am endlessly motivated by transformation, metamorphosis, and re-invention both physically and spiritually. I love working with multiples, repetition and layers. Gravity, weight, buoyancy, flight, falling, suspension, bridges, gaps, and space all factor into the equation. Sensation and perception are key components. Art begins with visual perception, making sense of the world."
She started investigating this approach to art about 12 years ago when she dropped out of art school and moved to Santa Cruz. Once here, she started participating in Open Studios which she says, "It was a huge catalyst in my life and led me to continue studying and exploring the possibilities of sculpture."
Her work evolved from sculptures on the floor, to hanging them from walls, and finally to suspending items from the ceiling (which of course led to the ladder installation at the SCICA gallery). "Work existing in and taking up space while incorporating space seemed to be the ultimate task for providing a full sensory experience," she says.

In their introduction to the Winter Olympics in Sochi, NBC referred to Communism as "one of modern history's pivotal experiments."
Video: WATCH NBC Gush Over Communism
NBC's commentators are horrible
I have boycotted this station for about a year now, I refuse to give them any ratings of support, they are in bed with Obozo and looking at this commercial it seems as if they are trying to glamorize communist, to hell with them.
We the people have more power then we think, boycott this local news media and watch their ratings go down and they will loose billions this will hurt them in their pockets and it speaks volumes
I haven't watched anything on NBC or any of it's affiliates for about 5 years now,NOTHING,no football,news,nothing!!! MSNBC makes me wanna puke in their faces!
I too do NOT watch any leftist media, they make me wanna puke too. It is good to see that many Americans everyday are waking up and are realizing that the media is NOT being honest with them
At least now we have a better understanding of NBC. They are ignorant to history. At least the REAL history.
Since I like the truth and facts, I don't bother with this station.
In fact, it's why I have no television service at all.
All I need is the internet. Everything I want to see or learn is there.
NBC National Brotherhood of Communists!. Doesn't obama know Communism failed?

Longtime Superior Court Clerk Robert Muh to Retire in January
North Country courts will transition to regional clerk system
CONCORD, September 8 — Attorney Robert B. Muh, who has been clerk of the Grafton County Superior Court since 1987, will retire in January 2011 after 27 years of service in state government. Before joining the court system, Muh worked for four years in the criminal division of the New Hampshire Attorney General's office.
Superior Court Chief Justice Robert J. Lynn announced that following Muh's retirement, Coos County Superior Court Clerk David P. Carlson will be named regional clerk serving both at the Coos location in Lancaster and at the Grafton County Superior Court location in North Haverhill. To help facilitate the transition into a regional clerk operation, Muh will manage the Coos County clerk's office in Lancaster from October through December while Carlson works as clerk in the Grafton County courthouse.
Lynn praised Muh for his tireless dedication to the Superior Court. "Bob is widely respected by the bar and the public for his knowledge of court rules and procedures, his friendly easy-going style, and his willingness to go the extra mile to be helpful to people in need of assistance. His retirement will be a real loss for the superior court," Chief Justice Lynn said.
Carlson's assignment as regional clerk is part of the Superior Court's long term plan for consolidating the management of the smaller superior courts throughout the state. Currently, the Cheshire and Sullivan County Superior Courts are managed by a regional clerk.
Chief Justice Lynn expressed confidence that Carlson's assignment as regional clerk would bring to the North Country more efficient and coordinated scheduling between the two courts and more effective use of staff and judicial resources, while also helping to reduce personnel costs. He noted that Carlson will be working with veteran deputy clerks Rose Tucker in North Haverhill and Lana Lesperance in Lancaster, whose extensive experience in court operations will ensure a smooth transition to the regional clerk system.
Carlson, a member of the New Hampshire Bar since 1983, was in private practice of law for 18 years prior to assuming responsibilities as Clerk of the Coos County Superior Court in 2001. In recent years, in addition to his management responsibilities, he has played an active role in the smooth transition of the Superior Court to the Odyssey case management system.

Hi, I hope someone can help with this.
I am having quite a bit of ankle pain. It is more behind the outside bone. It has also buckled a couple of times in the last month. I have not injured it in anyway (well, before it started hurting) I sometimes literally cannot walk on it it hurts so bad and then it settles down and is barely noticeable.
I hope this makes sense

Man indicted for installing keystroke logger
A US man has been indicted on federal wiretapping charges for allegedly installing a device to trap keystrokes on a colleague's computer.
Larry Ropp, a former claims adjuster for an insurance company, was indicted on March 25 for allegedly installing a KEYKatcher keystroke logger.
A federal grand jury in Los Angeles indicted Ropp on a single count of trying to intercept electronic communications. The keystroke logger was allegedly installed on the PC of a secretary to a vice president at the Bristol West Insurance Group.
The KEYKatcher can be plugged in between the keyboard cable and computer keyboard port. It stores every keystroke in for retrieval later.
Ropp is said to have become fed up with anti-consumer practices at the company. It was alleged that he hoped to feed information to lawyers who are leading a class action suit against the company for premature termination of policies.
Ropp believed the secretary in question had access to high-level information, including client lists, and he claimed he wanted to get the client list to aid in adding members to the class action suit. After Ropp was sacked, he asked a friend to retrieve the device from the computer.
The friend notified company officials, who then called in a computer forensics investigator and the FBI.
Ropp claims that he had good motives for what he was doing, however federal prosecutors say that does not mean that he can break the law. "It's irrelevant, even if the employee were a saviour." says U.S. Attorney Jim Spertus.
The case has raised legal questions because the charge requires that the suspect listen in on conversations between two parties. The KEYKatcher only records activities of one party.

It is about money. The same goes for hospital privatisation, ID cards and Blair's love of such exotics as the G8 and the International Olympic Committee. As Deep Throat said, follow the money. Yesterday's Barker report on English (not Scottish) planning reeks of it.
Kate Barker's first report two years ago, on house-building - also for Gordon Brown - was pure socialism. It tried to predict how many Britons "needed" to be housed in the style to which she considered them entitled and said the government should meet that total. Demand and supply would be brought into equilibrium not by price but by central diktat. Housing norms were drawn up for each district, as if people were immobile and incomes never varied. Lenin would have approved; the Home Builders Federation was overjoyed.
Barker's second report, on planning, is a shameless capitulation to her former employer, the CBI. That body is outraged that local people sometimes obstruct its property-developer members (whom Barker treats as synonymous with "economic prosperity"). Already the government has scrapped county planning and replaced it with regionalised Whitehall targets, under the draconian Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act - the most centralised planning regime in the free world. What remains of local discretion, so-called local development frameworks, apparently needs further curtailment.
The report complains that England is the most densely populated country in Europe, "but" has the most protected countryside. (The use of "but" is significant.) While Barker makes sensible proposals for simplifying planning control, she is almost exclusively concerned with securing more dispersed offices, warehouses and housing estates primarily in the south-east, which is where most planning refusals occur. This concern is obscured by 220 pages of turgid euphemism about "a more positive planning culture ... a more explicit role for markets ... a more positive approach to green-belt review" and ending control of "commercial micro-generation". In other words, long-term land use should be dictated by short-term labour costs. In such a context it is hard to see the point of local planning; the report could come down to one line: abolish it.
What puts Britain top of the world economic league is "quality of life", yet this quality has to be defended against philistine reports such as this. While roughly half of England and Wales is subject to some form of rural protection, the implication is that the other half, of which a fifth is urbanised, should be deemed available for building. The report treats rural Britain as if it comprised only the environs of ministerial cottages in the Chilterns and Cotswolds. The phrase "the Essex countryside" is presumably a contradiction in terms.
Planning is most efficient when predictable. Barker's planning is an open invitation to developers to try their luck. The way the big supermarkets have exploited John Prescott's already more flexible approach can be seen in every medium-sized town in England. The idea that any proposed building to which local people object should be fast-tracked renders half of rural Britain vulnerable to "hope-value" speculation.
It is simply untrue that British planning is slow. It is sometimes ponderous, but so it should be when firms such as Vodafone and Dyson demand green-field sites with threats to go abroad, and often then decamp. Planning may not have the backhander speed of some foreign regimes, but 80% of applications are approved within two months. Of course the CBI wants no delay at all, but don't we all? How many decisions does Whitehall take within two months?
Planning delay occurs where a developer (notoriously Tesco or a public body) comes up against local opposition, usually by demanding green land. But such contentious development is bound to take time: it is changing the face of Britain for ever. Time spent on decisions such as Heathrow and Sizewell B was outrageous but could have been limited by Whitehall and that most superfluous of professions, the planning bar. Does Barker really think the "Gherkin" inquiry in the City was too slow, or that for the 50-storey Vauxhall tower, about to loom over the Palace of Westminster? The latter was simply announced by Prescott, against his inspector's advice.
The report offers no vision of the landscape of England and Wales, merely what business wants. Every goal is directed at "streamlining" construction. The bias in favour of development will lead only to uncertainty as disempowered locals fight bloody battles over sites that were once safeguarded but are now thrown into play. People will defend their fields, woods and hills as fiercely as they now defend their hospitals. Ministers and officials may be happy for southern England to sprawl like Connecticut or San Diego but the public (not to mention the planet) may beg to differ.
The guardianship of rural Britain - which is what this report is really about - needs inquiry, especially following this government's courageous changes to farm subsidy. Cities are awash with derelict gasworks, harbours, railway yards and factories, and are eager for high-density renewal. This will not come if new building is directed to nibbling at green belts and beyond, to motorway corridors and "new towns" where quick profit beckons. One day the splurge of hypermarkets and warehouses will go the way of petrol stations. They too overrode the planning system for "economic growth". Their carcasses litter the countryside. We can surely be more sensitive and sensible today.
Land-use planning is the defining activity of politics. Through it people express how and at what pace they want their communities to change. This is not nimbyism but democracy. Brown proclaims economic independence in Europe. Why should some such autonomy not be enjoyed by Britons in the evolution of their homes and neighbourhoods? This report drips with contempt for such localism. The landscape is a serious topic. It cannot be stamped all over by CBI skinheads.

Re: Morgan 30 re-build
I would suggest a Morgan owners group. There is also a separate section of Sailnet for Morgan questions. This was an old thread. For more general questions post in Gear & Maintenance etc. You will find tons of helpful people here, I did.
Re: Morgan 30 re-build
Just bought Morgan 30/2. Needs alot of work. Any owers out there who could answer some questions?
|We just purchased a Morgan 30/2 a few weeks ago. How is or did the rebuild go?
Thanks for the news Jeff.. I'll make sure and have a REALLY good look at the keel/hull join. I did expect it to be a bit moe fragile than most because of it's Shark Fin setup. Didn't make much sense to me to configure it this way, but there you have it.
The boat is not intended to do any offshore stuff, just cruise around the gulf and discovery islands and maybe puget sound a bit. So I'm not worried about the lacking of strngth for that purpose.
However I do take the information about the flexible topsidesa nd b'head separation seriously. All will be re-tabbed. This unit is just starting t show signs of tabs separating - so they all must be re-done.
Thanks again... Pic's to come.
I remember these boats. They are a big cousin to the nortorious IOR era Morgan 27's and kid-sister to the Morgan and later Heritage one tonners. Like the M-27's, these boats were notorious for fragile keel to hull joints. They were also known for large amounts of topside flexure, bulkhead separation, and rudder post issues. The M-27's that I knew well were all raced pretty hard, and generally needed to be beefed up early in their life with the addition of additional frames, and tabbing in these critical areas.
These were good boats upwind, but were hard boats to sail downwind or in a beam chop as they tended to roll steer badly. They took big comparatively skilled crews to sail well, especially in a breeze. Not exactly good boats for offshore or short-handed sailing. Certainly an interesting piece of yachting history. Just be careful with it.
Hello again.. and Merry Christmas.
We have been very busy with this boat. Thus not having so much time to come and post. Had some very interesting revelations.. but first.. a bit about the history. She was built by Morgan in the early 70's. This model is a '73 (I think) built for the racer/cruiser market. VERY wide at 11/6" for a 30' LOA vessel, with about 2 inches of tumblehome on the hull. The exit is almost double ended and is extremely hydrodynamic. Especially with the "Sharkfin" Keel arrangement.
The hull is a solid layup and in very good shape. deck is balsa core with an interior liner. As you may have seen from the photos on the blog, she doesn't have much of an interior. No hull liner, but the bulkheads are very solid and in great shape.
Can't say that much for the deck though... Turns out someone cut a hole in the foredeck to make an anchor locker, never finished it properly and left the deck core exposed. I started the "tap test to see what was up, marking the good parts... then stopped. Why? There were none. So we started cutting the deck away to see and there is so much wet and rot the whole deck core has to be replaced. Fun fun fun fun fun. Don't cha just love old boats?
We will be updating the site over the next few days and then we are going sailing for a few more while the kids are out of school. Then we'll be in a new year...
Thanks for the welcomes and look to see much more of us int he new year.
Welcome to Sailnet...
As for posting photos...the easiest way to do it is to get a photobucket.com or flickr.com account and upload the photos there...then use the icon to link the photos in your post.
Well, so you don't feel ignored. Congrats! Welcome to Sailnet! I'm not familiar with M30 construction and was wondering, did you remove the hull liner if it has one? OK get back to work! Keep us updated! like the site you made too! Oh, theres a guy that just got a Morgan for free and he's been making posts on another sailing forum about his project. It was a sunk at the slip boat I think.
good luck!
Morgan 30 re-build
Hi everyone.. we have just taken delivery of a Morgan 30 for a complete rebuild and we want to share it with the world and thought this would be the best place to start. So please go and have a look at our developing web page to see an almost day by day re-fit of this neat little cruiser/racer.
The re-fit is complete from stem to stern and is going to incorporate several new ideas such as LED lighting package and a new engine capable of running bio diesel. There might even be a hydrogen supplementation unit added to the diesel as well - Diesels LIKE hydrogen - but this is dependent on some criteria that may be beyond our control.
I'd post some pictures here, but, I'm not sure how to yet .-)) I'm pretty new at this Sailnet forum so more will be posted as I learn. In the meantime, the link is in my signature. This is going to be fun!!! We start fresh on Monday. Look forward to hearing feedback from everyone on this.

The Lancaster County Animal Shelter has been shut down and quarantined, and it will accept no strays until further notice, County Administrator Steve Willis said Tuesday.
He said the shelter has been working for about two weeks to contain an outbreak of some undetermined respiratory virus, but has not been successful.
"We are closing the shelter, not taking any dogs or cats in and not letting any dogs or cats out," he said.
Two dogs roaming miles from home ravaged a herd of goats owned by an elderly Kershaw couple, killing or seriously injuring nearly a dozen of the animals, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office report.
Wayne Bartell, 75, of 6820 Hanging Rock Church Road, called 911 about 7:45 a.m. to report he'd shot and killed one of two dogs he'd caught inside the goat pen behind his home. The other dog, he said, had escaped and run off.
Fort Mill-based Unique Loom is expanding its operations to Indian Land, creating 245 new jobs there over the next four years, and moving an additional 90 positions from Fort Mill.
The company, an online distributor of home furnishings products, has leased the vacant Defense Ventures building at 793 Fort Mill Highway, according to Jamie Gilbert, Lancaster County's economic development director.
Alan Williams, director of the Lancaster County Animal Shelter, squatted beside one of the temporary pens holding the 25 quarantined animals under his care.
He shook his head as he talked about the dog inside, one of two that came to the shelter three months ago after a drug bust left them homeless. They were emaciated, dehydrated and full of parasites. Williams and his assistant nursed them back to health.
The dog wagged his tail wildly at the sight of his caretaker.
INDIAN LAND – The Indian Land Lady Warriors, with their deft feet, wrote some ILHS girls soccer history on Monday at the Reservation.
The Indian Land girls, in their first season in Class AAA soccer, made it memorable with a 5-0 win over Pendleton to earn a first-ever state title match bid.
Dr. Jonathan Phipps is making the leap to a school district four times the size of Abbeville County's, and with vastly different problems.
In rural Abbeville, his biggest challenge as superintendent was dealing with tight budgets and crumbling buildings from the 1950s. In Lancaster, his biggest job will be constructing new schools fast enough to keep pace with the Panhandle's explosive growth.
More than 600 people met Tuesday night in Indian Land to hear supporters and opponents of the Panhandle's two incorporation efforts explain their differences on the region's most contentious issue.
Taking the stage for the event at Transformation Church were members of the pro-Panhandle incorporation group Voters for a Town of Indian Land, the Incorporate Van Wyck Committee, and anti-incorporation group No Town of Indian Land.
HOPE in Lancaster has added two new programs – the Senior Food Program, designed to immediately help the elderly poor, and the Bounce Back Program, for anyone going through a financial struggle.
KERSHAW – Spurred on by the closing of its competitor in Lancaster, Kershaw's town-owned bowling alley is raking in the revenue – exceeding its budget by 48 percent so far this fiscal year.
"It's a wonderful thing to see people enjoying themselves over there," said Kershaw Mayor Mark Dorman.
The town has operated the six-lane Kershaw Bowling Alley at Stevens Park since 2005, but this is the first time in many years that it has been in the black.

Free two-week karate classes offered at Kenaki Karate during National Autism Awareness Month received such a big response, the classes were expanded through the entire month of April.
Held at Kenaki Karate's four locations – Lancaster, Indian Land, Chester and Kershaw – Kenaki not only had full classes, but also experienced a record-breaking attendance day, with nearly 100 students simultaneously on the floor at the Lancaster location.

Comfortabel and clean appartment. It was very quiet. Supermarket is around the corner and tram is in walking distance. Our first experience with Wimdu and we are very happy.
A fantastic apartment in a great location -- excellent link to the super tram straight to Alex! Very clean and spacious in a lovely building. Quite and peaceful. Highly recommended.
Good comunication, kind host. Apartment was clean and beautifull. Same as description.
Great flat to stay in, with close access to transport, nice area, good location. Would stay again on return to Berlin. Thanks Uwe
We stayed almost a week in Berlin and used the apartment for breakfast and a last drink. Our kids (age 11 and 12) had the separate room, we had the big bed in the living. Smart solution: normalily with a 2room apartment the parent ends up on the sofabed! It was very quiet and clean. Prenzlauer berg is a relaxed area, nice shops, good coffee and close to public transport.
Great place for 3-4 persons, right in the cosy area of Prenzlauer Berg, close to cool shops, trams, U-bahn etc. The apartment is quiet in a preserved beautiful building, the bathroom is big, and the are beds comfortable. Modern style kitchen, higly appreciated. We really recommend this object to anyone.
Nice apartment in the middle of beautiful Prenzlauer Berg. There are great restaurants right outside down the street, a park and access to public transportation nearby. The apartment faces the back of the house which is a typical enclosed space with windows and balconies facing each other. One does not have traffic noise but the noise from conversations on balconies across from you can be even more annoying. This is only an issue on warm days in the summer when people have parties on weekends which spill over on the balcony. If it gets too much just step on your balcony and ask them to go inside. It worked for us but we had to do it at 11 pm and again at 1 pm. the first night. The second night was fine. The apartment has an entry hallway, a living/bedroom/kitchen all-in-one, a separate very small bedroom with a loft bed. The bed in the main room is comparable to a queen size bed with two mattresses (typical for German beds) and very comfortable. The beds in the small bedroom are narrower and only suited for very slim persons (not taller than 5'8") or children. This bedroom has a door and a window. In this bedroom you will also find a travel cot for babies and a high chair for toddlers. The curtains in both rooms are darkening curtains since there are no blinds or "Rolladen" in the building. The kitchenette is very basic and good for preparing breakfast. There is a fridge, toaster, coffee maker, hot water maker. The bathroom is spacious. The apartment is on the fourth floor (3. Stock) if I remember correctly. There is no elevator! Parking is possible in front of the house for 1 Euro per hour. The owner will explain to you where to find free parking nearby but don't count on using your car every day for outings unless you want to spend a half hour each evening finding a new free spot to park you car and walk another 15 min. back to the apartment. There is no parking garage available.
Overall, we were very happy with the apartment and would rent it again.
Super stylisch apartement,
while a bit outside from the city center there are plenty of regular connections (train or bus) to the center so that it is not a problem.
Cozy,well-equipped and clean flat. Close to the tram and the S-bahn.
The area is quiet but full of bars, restaurants, cafés and supermarkets.
Very reccomended!

Manufacturers sometimes include substances in their propellants that are intended to reduce the flash signature. However, not all manufacturers include it and I can't tell you who does and who doesn't. I wouldn't be surprised if most don't. Even if a company does include flash suppressant, it won't completely eliminate the signature.
Basically if you want to know what your flash is going to look like with a certain type of ammo, you'll need to test it yourself.

"This is the cutting edge of health. This unexpected, brilliant movie offers us a prime front seat experience of insight and wisdom on healing ourselves through healing our unresolved emotions."
Product Added
The Cure Is… is a groundbreaking film that will forever change the way you look at your health. For decades, many believed genetics to be the most significant factor in determining whether we obtain a disease or not. Bruce Lipton, PhD, one of the first to clone stem cells over 44 years ago, states this is completely false.
Producer: David Scharps, David Fortney, Brett Carr, Chris Toussaint
Director: David Scharps, David Fortney
Starring: Dr. Bernie Siegel, MD; Marianne Williamson; Gregg Braden; Bruce Lipton, PhD; Dr. Joel Fuhrman, MD; Dr. Sue Morter; Paul Chek; Tony Horton
Our human body is brilliantly designed for vitality and longevity. Why then is our health and life expectancy declining? Have we lost our connection to our natural way of living? Is it possible there is a powerful and effective means to address our health and disease that can assist us in tapping into our natural healing capacity of our profoundly powerful human body?
Most experts universally agree that eating a healthy diet and exercising often are key components to our longevity and wellbeing. Now, experts are focusing on a new health paradigm that is shattering the way we look at our health and that is:
"What we hold in our thoughts, beliefs and unresolved emotional conflicts maybe one of the most significant factors in determining our health and wellbeing or whether you experience disease in your lifetime."
The Cure Is... unveils one of the most profound ancient health formulas to be released in over a century. Amazing true stories, woven with testimonials from top scientists, doctors and evolutionary leaders creates a mind-blowing journey of self-discovery that will radically shift the way you look at health and disease forever.
"This is the cutting edge of health. This unexpected, brilliant movie offers us a prime front seat experience of insight and wisdom on healing ourselves through healing our unresolved emotions."
"This movie does for health what The Secret did for wealth."
"One of the most inspiring and through provoking films I have ever seen."

Underlying inflation climbed just 0.3 per cent in the September quarter – its smallest increase in a decade – dragging annual growth below the mid-point of the Reserve Bank's 2 to 3 per cent target band and fuelling speculation of an imminent rate cut.
Headline inflation rose 0.6 per cent to reach an annual rate of 3.5 per cent, as big falls in the price of medicines, fruit and vegetables helped offset rises in the cost of electricity, water, overseas holidays and clothes.
Following the inflation reading investors raised the odds of an official cash rate cut on Tuesday from 75 to 100 per cent and the dollar fell 0.5 of a cent against the US currency to slip below $1.04.
The prospect of the first rate cut since the depths of the global financial crisis more than two years ago could be a welcome fillip for Labor, which is languishing in the polls.
Mr Swan seized on the number to claim the government's fiscal policy had helped give the RBA scope to cut interest rates.
"The government through fiscal policy has put in place the quickest return to surplus seen in our history," he said. "What that means is that there is more room to move when it comes to monetary policy for the Reserve Bank."
Mr Swan said: "There would be absolutely no excuse for the banks not to pass on any rate cut that was delivered by the Reserve Bank should they choose to do so, absolutely none whatsoever."
But the banking industry tried to temper rate cut expectations, warning that bank funding costs were up because of the European sovereign debt crisis.
"If instability in Europe and the consequent high cost of money internationally remains the case, that will continue to put upward pressure on bank funding costs, as they replace existing loans that mature," said Australian Bankers Association chief executive Steven Münchenberg.
The inflation result will give the RBA confidence ahead of its board meeting next Tuesday that inflation pressures are more moderate than earlier feared, providing it scope to ease monetary policy if necessary.
Europe's unresolved sovereign debt crisis adds to the case for a rate cut, with mounting concerns that a meeting of European leaders overnight would fail to deliver a breakthrough.
Many economists expect the central bank to cut the official cash rate from 4.75 to 4.5 per cent next week, though several warn such a move is far from certain, particularly because of the resources boom.
Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that although electricity and water charges jumped by up to 8.6 per cent in the September quarter, and the cost of overseas holidays rose 5.1 per cent, other living costs fell. Medicines were 5 per cent cheaper last quarter, computer and television prices fell 3.3 per cent and the cost of fruit and vegetables dropped by up to 2.5 per cent.
Food prices eased following a volatile few months in which wild weather, including Queensland's floods and cyclone Yasi, devastated many crops.
But in the 12 months to the September quarter food costs were up 6.4 per cent, the biggest rise of any of the main expenditure groups, with bananas accounting for much of the 66 per cent jump in fruit costs over the past year.
The underlying inflation measures are less affected by such volatility and show price pressures are moderate, and the RBA appears increasingly comfortable with the inflation outlook.
The central bank indicated at its October 4 board meeting that if the September quarter consumer price index confirmed price pressures were more moderate than had been feared, that would "increase the scope for monetary policy to provide some support to demand, should that prove necessary".
Though the central bank remains confident about the country's growth prospects, particularly given the unabated strength of emerging Asian economies, the RBA may consider it has room to ease some of the pressure on households and businesses without risking an unsustainable surge in inflation.
UBS chief economist Scott Haslem said the result suggested inflation would not move much above 2.5 per cent over the next year, casting doubt on the need for the RBA to keep monetary policy at its current mildly restrictive level, particularly given concerns about Europe's debt crisis. "With rising concerns about progress to a solution in Europe, and emerging large price falls on bulk commodity markets, we believe the likelihood of a November rate cut from the RBA has risen significantly," Mr Haslem said.
Housing Industry Association senior economist Andrew Harvey criticised earlier ABS inflation data for giving misleading readings on how severe the inflation problem was and said the latest results gave the central bank ample scope to ease interest rates.
"This raises fresh questions over the RBA's retention of a tightening bias over much of 2011 but, more importantly, it leaves the RBA with plenty of space to cut rates by the end of this year," he said.
But other economists think the RBA is unlikely to move so quickly, arguing that although the improved inflation outlook has increased the scope for monetary policy to ease, by itself it is unlikely to be enough to convince the central bank to act.
TD Securities strategist Roland Randall said the necessary trigger for a rate cut was likely to come from a sharp downgrade in the nation's growth prospects stemming from a spike in unemployment or a collapse in business investment rather than easing price pressures alone.
"So far the data have not suggested any urgent need to support the economy," Mr Randall said. "In the past month retail sales, home loans, employment and the terms of trade have all provided upside surprises. Offshore, data from China and the US has also been generally better than expected."
JPMorgan chief economist Stephen Walters said although the case for a rate reduction had become stronger, low inflation readings would have to be accompanied by "bad news offshore before the RBA will cut".

Herbert Lom, Inspector Clouseau's Supervisor, Dies at 95
Herbert Lom, who played the twitching, exasperated Parisian police inspector driven to the edge of madness and beyond by Peter Sellers's Jacques Clouseau in the "Pink Panther" movie franchise, has died. He was 95.
He died today in his sleep, the Associated Press reported, citing his son, Alec. The Czech-born Lom lived in London, where he moved from Prague on the eve of World War II.
Sellers, Lom and writer-director Blake Edwards teamed up for five of the "Pink Panther" comedies, which followed Sellers's cheerily bumbling Clouseau on a search for a missing diamond.
Lom's character, Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus, had the thankless task of overseeing Clouseau's inept investigations. Dreyfus ends one movie strait-jacketed in a sanitarium, using his toes to scratch "Kill Clouseau" in crayon on the wall of his cell. In the next movie, "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" (1976), his character suffers a complete breakdown and emerges as a super-villain.
Sellers and Lom, two comic actors with the talent to pull off slapstick farce, made "a hilarious team," critic Vincent Canby wrote in the New York Times in his review of the 1976 movie, which was nominated for a Golden Globe award for best comedy.
Lom made more than 100 feature films and long expressed mixed feelings about being primarily remembered for his "Pink Panther" affiliation.
Costly Roles
"I miss the Panther," Lom said in a 1986 interview with the Sunday Mail, a U.K. newspaper. "It was great fun. They asked me to play Dreyfus because I'm a serious actor. I did it straight, and I know being associated with crazy comedy has cost me lots of other parts."
Lom wrote a 1993 novel, "Dr. Guillotine," a fictional account based on the real-life physician-lawmaker whose work on a more efficient method of execution during the French Revolution earned him a place in the dictionary.
For 25 years Lom owned a Christmas tree farm in Kent, southeast of London, according to the Sunday Mail.
Herbert Charles Angelo Kuchacevich ze Schluderpacheru was born on Sept. 11, 1917, in Prague to what he later called an "aristocratic but not wealthy" family.
He made his debut in Czech films in the mid-1930s. In search of better acting opportunities, he moved to London in early 1939, just months before Nazi troops invaded Prague.
Wrong Papers
His girlfriend, Didi, a Czech Jew, accompanied him but was turned back at Dover because she didn't have the correct papers. She ended up perishing in the Holocaust. Lom's parents survived to join him in England, even though his mother had Jewish ancestry.
In wartime London, Lom joined the BBC as an announcer for its Czech and German service. On screen, he landed roles including that of Napoleon Bonaparte in "The Young Mr. Pitt" (1942) -- he'd play Napoleon again in the 1956 film "War and Peace" -- and the starring role of twin trapeze artists in "Dual Alibi" (1946).
Though he would make his name in Pink Panther comedies, Lom early on played a series of sinister film characters -- a confidence man in "Beautiful Stranger" (1954), a disturbed gangster in "The Ladykillers" (1955).
"In those days, to English eyes, all foreigners were villains," Lom, who became a British citizen but kept his Czech accent, explained in 1986.
Musical Role
The American songwriting duo of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein invited Lom to audition for the London production of "The King and I" in the role of the King of Siam, which Yul Brynner was playing on Broadway. Lom performed the role to strong reviews from 1953 to 1955.
His return to movies in "The Ladykillers" paired him for the first time with Sellers, the zany comedian who several years later introduced Inspector Clouseau in "The Pink Panther" (1963).
The swiftly produced "Panther" sequel, "A Shot in the Dark" (1964), added Lom as Dreyfus.
Lom said a wink from Sellers, in character as Clouseau, gave him the idea to add the twitch that became a Dreyfus trademark.
"I started winking out of nervousness and couldn't stop," he told the Independent, a U.K. newspaper, in 2004. "It wasn't in the script, but Blake Edwards loved it."
Sellers and Dreyfus teamed up for three more sequels -- "The Return of the Pink Panther" (1975), "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" (1976) and "Revenge of the Pink Panther" (1978).
Clouseau Endures
After Sellers died of heart failure in 1980, the franchise continued, with Lom reprising his role three more times.
"Trail of the Pink Panther" (1982) used previously deleted footage of Sellers as Clouseau from the previous movies. "Curse of the Pink Panther" (1983) revolved around the disappearance of Clouseau, and "Son of the Pink Panther" (1993) paired Lom's Dreyfus with Clouseau's illegitimate son, played by Roberto Benigni.
The "Panther" franchise extended beyond Lom's involvement as well. Steve Martin played Clouseau and Kevin Kline played Lom's role, Dreyfus, in the 2006 remake, "The Pink Panther."
In 2004, still acting at 87, Lom appeared on U.K. television as a grudge-bearing French professor in Agatha Christie's "Marple," the Independent reported.
Lom was married three times and had three children and seven grandchildren, according to the Independent.

I've inherited my grandmother's car and started driving again after a five-year hiatus. I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know what a "tune-up" entails, and how often one is required. – Emma in Comox, B.C.
The modern "tune-up" is much less intensive than the days when car engines required frequent adjustment for everything from spark plugs to ignition timing and fuel-air mixture.
Since the 1990s, vehicles are heavily monitored and controlled by computers and sensors, and to a great extent "tune" themselves (until the dreaded "check engine" light comes on).
These vehicles, however, still require regular maintenance. The manufacturer's recommended intervals can be found in the owner's manual. Each make, model and year is unique, and maintenance requirements will depend on what you drive, how often, and under what conditions.
What's now advertised as a "tune-up" at repair shops coast to coast is designed to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently. This usually consists of changing the spark plugs, inspecting and replacing air and fuel filters as required, and in some cases extras such as fuel-injection service.
"A tune-up is one of the more major service intervals, whereas something like an oil change is done on a routine basis – two or three times a year depending of course on mileage," says Peter Block of Victoria Transmission and Auto Care.
"As for a tune-up, which includes changing the spark plugs, different vehicles have different servicing requirements. Some have really long life plugs, and some are shorter life. With a little Kia for example, the tune-up maintenance interval is 60,000 kms or less, whereas a lot of the premium vehicles can go up into the 100,000-km mark before a first major tune-up."
Maintenance items are often discovered on checks conducted during a good-quality oil change. When it comes time to replace the spark plugs, in many cases the air and fuel filter have already been looked after.
"It varies per driving conditions, but a fuel filter should be changed every 25,000-40,000 kms. On the average vehicle, you'll get between 15,000-20,000 kms from an air filter. But if you're driving a lot of gravel or dusty roads, you're going to change it a lot more often," says Mike Salkus of Speedy Auto Service in Victoria.
Here's hoping your granny's glove box (or attic) contains all the vehicle maintenance records. These should provide you and a reputable mechanic with a clear picture of the vehicle's history.
"Just like going to a doctor for the first time, you can get an idea what's been done to the vehicle, and more importantly, what needs to be done," says Block. "There are things like timing belts on a lot of vehicles for example; it's not considered a tune-up item per se, but it is considered for replacement at around 100,000-120,000 kms."
In the absence of a maintenance paper trail, have a reputable shop check your vehicle to see if it is indeed time for a tune-up, or any other servicing. Odds are you'll be pleased with the findings. After all, there's good reason why "little-old-lady-driven" vehicles have a certain cachet.

We have just come out of a presidential election. Some Christ followers are happy, some are not, some have concern, and some continue to live in fear. I do not have a problem with concern, but I do have a problem with fear. Fear has the ability to imprison the faith and hope within us. Without faith, it is impossible to please God, and it is impossible to live in the overcoming power of the Kingdom of God within us. God is much bigger than who is in charge of our nation or any nation. Whoever is … [Read more...]

God is Not in Control By Robert Ricciardelli
Presuppositions are not absolute truthThe title "God is Not in Control" may at first glance shock you, but let me explain. There are many believers that have fallen into a deterministic world-view. This view presupposes that all things regarding the people of God have already been determined, and that He is in control of all things. This presupposition directly opposes the reality of what the Word of God actually teaches us about the Father and His choosing to give freedom of choice to His … [Read more...]
Overcoming Our Presuppositions by Robert Ricciardelli
Locked and loaded in our presuppositions can cut off meaningful conversations, relationships, and truths that might be discovered through the perspectives of others. The suppositional truth we have adopted may not be absolute truth and if we become constant learners, we will evolve towards greater truth and understanding of God, ourselves, and the world around us. We must be willing to challenge our belief systems and allow for the Spirit of God to sweep away the false from our minds to make … [Read more...]
Living What We Preach by Robert Ricciardelli
Fusion with God and His ways is radical because it confronts our being, the very place where illusion and ego are generated. It touches the unconscious where most of our wounds and needs for healing lie. As we allow our minds and hearts to be healed and renewed it is likely to produce next generation Christ-like leaders. It will have little to do with being ordained, or being charismatically powerful or popular. We need teachers, but we mainly need teachers who are first of all living examples … [Read more...]
Spirit of Love, Power, and a Sound Mind by Robert Ricciardelli
So many people today are living with less than God's best because they've allowed fear to take root in their lives. Fear brings torment, can paralyze us, and keep us from our upward calling. God has not given us a spirit of fear but He has given us a Spirit of love, power, and a sound mind. God's power in you is greater than any power that comes against you. You can make the choice today to close the door on fear, and meditate on the promises of God. Listen for the Voice of Truth that overcomes f … [Read more...]
The Power of Treating Others Well by Robert Ricciardelli
The way you treat others has a direct impact on the effectiveness of your prayers, and the prayers of those who live righteously are powerful. When we aren't treating others with love, honor, and kindness, then we aren't allowing His righteousness to operate through us. We will realize a major power shortage in prayer and in life when we do not treat others well. We should seek wisdom and understanding in considering the needs of others. Forgive others, treat them kindly, and the power of God … [Read more...]
The Unshakeable Kingdom by Francis Frangipane
As the year 2011 comes to a close, it is hard to be unaffected by the massive earthquakes that occurred these past years. Remember, it was just 2004 when the great South Asian Tsunami roared along the Indian ocean, suddenly rising and striking the coastlines of nine nations. Over 250,000 people died and millions more were left grieving and homeless. Scientists tell us that this great disaster not only changed the landscape of Asia, it actually caused the planet to wobble on its axis.But the … [Read more...]
Your Greatest Hiding Place by Robert Ricciardelli
Have you ever felt like hiding under a rock, or just getting away from it all? Sometimes we need a place of safety, a place of rest when we feel overwhelmed by the circumstances of life. God has the perfect hiding place for you, where the enemies of your soul can never find you. You no longer have to hide in your work, relationships, or addictions, for God has given you the perfect hiding place, Himself. He is your Rock of Refuge, and you can call upon His name at anytime as He is always with … [Read more...]
Hope for Despairing Christians by Tony Campolo
Hope for Despairing Christians In A World That is Getting Worse and Worse by Tony CampoloBy Tony CampoloFor many Evangelical Christians, the normative attitude is to view world history with despair.

Virtualization (the underlying foundation of a cloud) introduces a set of challenges to how one should monitor the performance of the infrastructure and the applications. These challenges are:
- Unlike physical systems that are mostly dedicated to specific applications, virtual systems are both shared and dynamic. This makes inferring the performance of the infrastructure by looking at resource utilization statistics ineffective. Leading edge Infrastructure Performance Management vendors like AppFirst, Akorri, CA|NetQos, Virtual Instruments and Xangati are taking an Infrastructure Response Time approach to this problem that avoids the issues of relying upon resource metrics, and provides a true picture of how the infrastructure is actually performing.

Dear P1 Member,
This is the final PoliceOne Technology newsletter of the year and the decade.
Throughout December, we've been featuring commentary and analysis that looks back at the past and ahead to what's on the horizon. Today, we contemplate how some of the seemingly unrelated developments in law enforcement technology in 2009 might tie together in years to come.
— Doug Wyllie, PoliceOne Senior Editor
