My Boat Won't Back (in a straight or controlled line)
Over the last few years, I've seen lots of posts with this or similar complaint. And, I've watched people struggle at backing into slips, even when the boat will back fairly well. Some boat designs may not back well, but I would like to suggest a slightly different technique which might make you happier with your boat.
I may be suggesting something that will not work, but try it and maybe it will.
When I was negotiating to buy my boat (Catalina 320), I went to a boat show to see a competitive boat. The Catalina dealer had single handed a new Catalina 42 into a tricky docking arrangement at the show docks. I inquired how he was able to do it. He said that it was easy. The trick to controlling in reverse is to get the boat going. Once you get sufficient speed in reverse, the boat responds to the rudder in going backwards. just like it does going forward. It looks neat to drive in just past your slip in the traditional manner, turn away, then throw engine in reverse and back into the slip. To do this consistently, you have to know your boat well, adjust for wind, current and other variables. But you don't have to do it this way (at least not on my boat and the C42). Nearly all boats have prop walk...it has to do with the geometry of the prop, the surrounding boat and discharge stream of water (if the discharge is up and against the boat, and forward, then you get significant walk --- you get prop walk going forward, but the discharge is more into the rudder and away from the boat, and you just don't notice it as much because you correct for it with the rudder).
The dealer said, don't worry about prop walk. Well away from the dock, put the boat in reverse, increase power gradually, and get the boat moving in reverse. Gradually increase throttle and speed so that eventually the rudder takes over and controls the boat direction inspite of the prop walk. Keep the speed above this level, and just drive the boat in reverse. The dealer said that he just stood in front of the wheel and drove the zig zag course necessary to get into his slip. This is the technique that I use now. It looks a little strange because I will back down a long fairway and simply drive down, and turn into the slip going backwards. If you have a line handler forward, you can dock without even touching the pilings. If there is a crosswind sufficiently high, or going downwind, I have had to abandon this techique on occasion and dock bow first, but otherwise, it makes docking really easy. Once you start into the slip, lock the wheel brake down to prevent damage to the rudder (it can slam into the stocks if not restrained). You lock it down just enough to hold the rudder, but so you can still override the brake to control the rudder in docking. My C320 is a wing keel and is really quite maneuverable, so I'm sure that it's easier for me, but I believe many of you who say your boat won't back, it may be because you haven't tried this technique. If you try it in open water, you'll not damage anything and you'll learn if it is possible. And if your boat really won't back using this technique, then learn the back and fill technique that power boats (with small rudders) typically use. In regards to locking the wheel/rudder with brake, don't do this until you are nearly in your slip, because you loose rudder/wheel sensitivity and can't respond to wind shifts well unless you have the sensitivity. Also, many boats (mine anyway) will lay beam to the wind if you just let it go. Before you start trying to back, put the boat in this position relative to the wind. If you try to head into the wind, like you would if you are dropping your sails, the wind, the boat's natural tendency to fall off beam to wind, and prop walk will conspire to spin you around and out of control. Putting the boat in the position where it naturally wants to go, minimizes this tendency. If the boat is going too fast when you approach your slip, simply shift momentarily into forward to check your speed, but not long enough to stop the backward movement and rudder control. Also, you can shift alternately in and out of gear to control your speed. And going backwards first, if you need to abort, shift into forward and hit the trottle. You'll be surprised how well you can get out of a messed up approach. And if you do miss the approach, don't try to correct. It's going to get screwed up. Abort, go out and start again. Good luck.
We use basically the same technique with our Catlaina 30. Once she is moving in reverse, I have complete confidance that she will go exactly where I point her.
When making the transition to reverse, I steer about 20 feet to the right of the line I want to steer in reverse, then take off the last forward speed with a shallow left turn, leaving the boat about 30 degrees to the expected direction of travel in reverse. Once in reverse, slowly increasing throttle pulls the stern to the left and back in line with the intended direction of travel. As water starts to flow under the boat, a little left wheel helps to couteract the prop walk. The swing slows, the boat moves backwards, and after that, it's just driving.
We used to have some real docking disasters trying to reverse and back into the slip from the fairway. Now we reverse in the basin, back all the way down the fairway, and turn right into the slip.
I've only docked stern-first once, and it was quite frightening. I noticed that my boat will steer in reverse if it is going fast enough, but the turning radius is terrible. There's not nearly enough space for me to use that technique to get into my slip. The trick I used in my trial by fire was to put it in reverse at high throttle until I get moving, then give it a quick burst in forward with the wheel turned hard in the way I want to go (actually I think it might be the opposite way... I do it automatically). The burst of forward causes the stern to quickly swing without killing the backwards momentum. It's almost like a stern thruster. Since this has to be done multiple times, I don't even bother straightening the wheel before going into reverse again, since at this low speed the rudder has nearly no effect.
Most boats will turn quite tightly in one direction and horribly in the other... you might want to take you boat out and see what the case with it it. Sometimes, doing a 270˚ turn is easier than doing a 90˚ one.
We've used the same technique for years and you are correct that the key is to get the boat moving. I will also note that when we switch from forward to reverse, we use significant throttle to stop any remaining forward motion and to get the boat moving in reverse. My wife has a tendency to forget to throttle up when in reverse, so I gently remind her beforehand that idling in reverse is useless.
Another tip is to make sure that the engine is in neutral before switching to reverse. Shifting directly from forward to reverse can kill a transmission. We coast parallel to the slip and while making the 90 deg turn to back in, bleeding off forward speed. Only when we're lined up with the slip (offset to starboard 1/2 boat width to account for prop walk) do we put the boat into reverse.
I do not like to stand in front of the wheel facing aft because then all the engine controls are reversed and it's hard for me to reach the shifter and throttle. I prefer to face forward and look over my shoulder. Just remember to turn the wheel in the direction that you want the stern to go. For tillers, point the aft end of the tiller where you want the stern to go. It's that easy.
Also, you really have to make sure that the boat is making way in reverse before turning the wheel or tiller. If you're not actually moving backwards, the boat is not going to go where you want it to.
One other thing,
Lots of boats are geared such that in reverse, the maximum prop rpm (i.e. at maximum engine rpm) is less in reverse than in forward. In my boat, maximum prop rpm is only 75% of forward rpm. So when, one shifts to reverse, you really need to apply lots of power. It'll sound like something should be happening with all the noise, and it will eventually. Just be patient because there is a big argument going on between the prop and rudder as to who is going to be in control. If you have much forward speed on when you go to reverse, this is going to take a bit of time, but eventually the boat will start to move in reverse. Until these forces resolve the situation, it's better to just keep the rudder admidships. Putting on lots of rudder until the boat is moving, is just going to cause the rudder to act as a brake against that initial backing movement and aggrevate the prop walk issue. And don't worry about the boat walking around. Once you get moving, you can correct this with the rudder. That's one of the reasons to start this process outside the fairway, where you could conceivably get into a position that you can't get out of. Outside, you don't have to worry about it. And also, you don't have to worry about where current and wind are moving you before backing movement is established.
Part and parcel of 'getting the boat moving' is resisting the impulse to put the helm over for the turn before steerage is attained... doing so simply puts the brakes on and increases side motion in many cases.
Keep the rudder centered until it will actually do something for you.
Also, once you know how much propwalk rotation you'll experience, simply point the boat at an angle such the the propwalk will straighten you out about the same time you start moving and having steerage.
All that said, though, there ARE some (actually many)designs that will not respond to any of these techniques. A short cord fin/spade rudder is always going to do OK in the right hands
A new type of race: Backing a single screwed boat around salom pilings and the fastest times. Lets say a two mile distance overall.
Once you get the boat going with sufficient speed to maintain steerageway; you can eliminate prop walk by putting the transmission in neutral.

Go Jude!
Are you sorry yet, David Safier, that you decided to "hold your nose" and help Ducey et al. get Prop 123 passed?
Looks a lot like all the sophisticated politicos in your network who like to talk about "wedges" and levers and believe they know how to pull strings behind the scenes, patching together big scary "NEXT STEPS!" coalitions etc., ad nauseam, and trying generally to play hard ball with the big boys have ended up with quite a bit of egg on their faces.
Too bad you joined them and helped them embarrass themselves, or now you would be in a good position to make the point that the right way to build coalitions is basing them on sound principles, not on inadvisable concessions made to bad actors.
Check a recent article in the newsweekly "Economist" for an unbiased review of vouchers and tax credits used around the world for education. The basic thrust of the article is that vouchers & tax credits do work - where there is strong central control. Netherlands is a case in point - number 7 overall in the world (US is 39th), vouchers are used there in religious and sectarian schools but the central government plays a strong roll in ensuring a quality education.
I think i found some, can i send you a pic?
Thanks for the excellent article. As someone who has lost more than one person to suicide, I really appreciate the frank treatment of this issue.
Don't think McSally is much of a lay....
(your subhed...)
Sally ability to get things done, you mean like Trump has. Revoking all the life saving laws for EPA, you mean revoking AHC She is just another TRASH Republican who needs to be defeated. What has she actually done to HELP AZ citizens? NAME ONE.
Several times back in the past (i.e., before the attack) I can remember listening to our Representative Gabrielle Giffords live on local radio, being interviewed and taking calls. Gabrielle took all calls without hesitation and spoke up on a range of issues, even those that were personal to the caller. In a soft voice, Gabrielle spoke with strength and sincerity. With so many people in office today, such courage and common sense have evaporated.
Ah, so Rodney Glassman has resurfaced
"And for the desperately poor people of her district?" They just finished 8 years with the fantastic Obama economy. What else could they need?
And now you link Koch with the Russians? You do know the Kochs opposed Trump, or do you?
Everyone else has dropped the Russian fake news. You might as well join them.
I don't believe that it was McSally's pestering of the Air Force that saved the A10 and, other than a weak vote of support for the Sonoran Corridor project, she has brought NOTHING of value - - not even on the conservative side - - to southern Arizona. And for the desperately poor people of her district? Also, NOTHING of value. Face it! She is just a certain vote for the Koch/Exxon/Putin wing of the Federal Government, which serves only corporate greed and the idle rich. Time to send her back to New Jersey.
Since you're bringing up challengers to Congresswoman McSally, may I note that I'm also running? If you want a representative that will spend less time fundraising and more time talking and listening to constituents, visit my website, check me out, and get in touch. I sincerely want to hear from you. https://charlieverdin.com/
Oh yeah, I forgot. She voted to let coal companies pour their waste into streams, voted to let people with mental challenges purchase guns, voted to bring back lead bullets, which leach into the ground and poison birds who eat other animals hit by those bullets, and generally roll back all things that are trying to keep corporate greed from destroying the planet.
McSally also voted to defund Planned Parenthood and repeal the ACA numerous times without a viable alternative. She voted in favor of plan that would take healthcare from millions of people who desperately need it so the uber-rich could get the $200,000 tax refund they so richly deserve (insert sarcasm here). She voted to let Cox and Comcast sell your web viewing history because, well, the cable companies make a $40,500 contribution to her. She has been and will always be a paid for shill for the Koch brothers.
For all of you that hate corporate welfare, didn't the city and the county just approve a million of our pothole repair dollars to an airline for non stop flights to NY? Please make them one way flights and take the politicians with you.
Based on the ROI (return on investment), I am pretty sure that electing politicians to any office -- federal, state or local -- amounts to crowd-sourcing careers, income, benefits and retirement of said politicians with little else to show for the common constituents.
Now, if you are a special interest lobbyist, corporation or major donor, America has the best politicians you can buy, but don't ask the Russians right now, I think they are having buyer's remorse.
I've demonstrated outside McSally's office, but I'd call myself a constituent, not a political opponent. Isn't there an interim between elections when a representative should be thinking about keeping promises (McSally did promise to only support a health care plan if it provided better and more affordable coverage than the ACA), addressing constituents' concerns, and even keeping her oath to support the Constitution?
I agree with a second chance but not a fifth Kate Hyde.
Thank you for the jobs creation aimed at folks with a past record. Everyone deserves a second chance!
No net every scientist sir. Hundreds if not thousands have recanted their opinions based on peer review.
"The survey found 97% agreed that global temperatures have increased during the past 100 years; 84% say they personally believe human-induced warming is occurring, and 74% agree that "currently available scientific evidence" substantiates its occurrence."
By the way, 100% of scientists polled believe that temperature measuring devices have improved accuracy dramatically over the last 100 years and that the increase amounts of paving and concrete may have contributed the most to low level increases.

ShenDrones Krieger
ShenDrones Krieger
The Krieger is the quadcopter distilled down to its roots, a simple X quad made for FPV. The DTF200 model spins 5" props while the DTF225 spins 5" or 6" props. Both sport 4mm thick arms. FPV cam tilt angle is adjustable without tools. With much of its mass closer to its CG, the Krieger is quick and nimble. And with its minimal frontal area, the Krieger has far less drag than a typical 5" H quad, resulting in much higher speeds.
Our team at NextFPV have built and flown this frame and must say it's one of our favourites for super sonic speeds and superb preditable handling. Team it up with your favourite set of 2205 or 2206 2300KV motors spinning the Gemfan 5x4.5 bullnose prop with a Tattu 1550 75c battery powering this rig for the ultimate speed demon, race winning combo.
Field adjustable camera tilt allows the camera angle allows the racer to bring the tilt down to learn the track if need be, then crank it up when your ready to decimate the competition. To sum it up its a perfect outdoor long course racing weapon.
Note: a fairly meticulous build, taking care to depin to reduce clutter with good cable management is recomended. The FXT795 video transmitter slots in nicely while giving easy access to channel selection. The Foxeer HS1177 camera held in with generous lashings of hot glue does the trick nicely, leaving access easy access to change the camera from the rear if need be.

Celebrating Special Moments
Every relationship and long-term partnership has its special moments — from anniversaries to new homes to childbirth. These happy occasions are an opportunity for partners to celebrate their life together and use their milestones as a way to strengthen their connection. The following sections give some specific tips for using certain milestones as a way to enhance and empower your relationship.
An anniversary is a time to celebrate and renew your commitment to one another. In addition to the romantic dinner, gifts or other planned activities, set aside a few hours for just the two of you to communicate. Taking time during the week of your anniversary to talk openly and honestly about your future together shows a strong commitment to keeping the relationship solid.
Here are some possible topics for discussion:
1. Your Favorite Things: What are the things about your partner that you treasure the most? Take this time to thank your significant other for adding such value to your life.
2. Make It Even Better: Talk about one or two areas of your relationship or current lifestyle that you have been meaning to work on or that you feel could be improved. Discuss ways you both can make your relationship even stronger by focusing on these areas. Make a commitment to doing those things over the next year. Realize that even the best relationships can be improved and use your anniversary as a time to make resolutions.
3. Dream Together: Both of you should spend time talking about your personal dreams and goals for the future and then discuss how you can help each other make them a reality. Remember that a strong "we" is made of two strong individuals. Focus on growing both your relationship and your lives.
New Home:
Moving into a new residence is definitely a big change. Whether it be an apartment in another neighborhood or the first house you own, relocating to a new home is a great opportunity to empower and grow your relationship. Here are some tips for making sure relocation strengthens your partnership:
1. Plan Together: Even if one person is handling most of the arrangements for moving and settling into the new home, agree to do the major planning and decision-making together. Set regular "meetings" to discuss the status of your move and share opinions. One person carrying all the weight for a move and setting up shop in a new home can create resentment and stress during a time you should be celebrating a great transition.
2. Make It Yours: A new home can sometimes mean new furniture and accessories and, before you know it, you feel like you're in a foreign space. Make sure to dig through boxes and pull out personal mementos that are familiar to both of you. Take time to make the decor echo your connection and commitment to one another.
3. Acknowledge the Transition: A new home can often mean a new neighborhood, different jobs or major changes in lifestyle. Make sure you pay attention to how these changes affect your partner and take time to talk with them about the transition process. Being supportive and communicating openly can ensure that your move is truly a positive milestone in your lives.
New Baby:
Whether it's your first child or third one, a new addition to the household is a major transition. Celebrating this addition and growing your family together is so important, but don't forget to make time to continue to grow as a couple and make decisions about the household. Think about scheduling the following into your daily and weekly routines.
1. Parenting Meetings: In many households, each partner might handle different aspects of the parenting responsibilities. Regardless, you need to be making decisions together. Set aside time — a few minutes in the morning or one night a week — where the two of you can sit down and update each other on your thoughts and feelings about your child(ren), share observations and make decisions about raising your family.
2. Time for Yourselves: Once dirty diapers and daycare enter the picture, romance can often seem a thing of the past. Make an effort to not let this happen. Whether it's once a week or once a month, make a commitment to set aside time to spend together and rejuvinate your spirits and your connection to each other.

Brown Envelopes
Unlike the previous two letters from the DWP both advising me of 'urgent' changes to phone numbers, both of which caused me to dislocate my fingers trying to open them, I know is different because it is so bulky. It's an IB50 Incapacity for work form. I haven't had to fill out anything like this since the DWP sent me a letter several years ago telling me I no longer needed to send in sick notes from my GP.
I have until the week before Christmas to return it, although I of course won't find out the decision until weeks in to the New Year. I feel a bit sick, and very scared. I'm not even sure it's been sent to me correctly yet. Quite apart from being genuinely entitled to all the benefits I receive, I would give anything to be able to support myself financially by working and not to have to rely on this humiliating, degrading and terrifying system. It angers me to think of all the money this and every other government waste on so called 'welfare reforms' none of which provide any realistic opportunities to help disabled people into work.
Oh, and just in case you'd not already guessed, none of the questions on this form have altered. Those about whether you can walk more than 400m or climb a flight of stairs are still there, and there is certainly no mention of desks or mice, but then you didn't really think there would be, did you? This really is all about frightening genuine claimants into saying the wrong thing and cutting benefit rates that way.

I hate those sort of envelopes. I received one yesterday wanting to access me for my housing benefit, giving me two weeks. Because I'm self employed, I have to give them my entire details for the last year. urgh!

One wonders if they'll manage to send all your details to various fraudsters as easily as the Child Benefit people. Grrrrrr!

The new 'desks and mice' forms don't start until 2008. As an existing claimant you'll stay on the current system unless your claim is refused and fails at appeal, however don't be surprised if you get another IB50 between now and the new forms. My guess is they'll try and kick as many people off the current system as possible so that they'll need to start again under the new system.

It must be so utterly frustrating to know that you'd give anything to be 'normal' and you haven't chosen the life your leading right now.
It is very unfair.

Vi, ugh. Good luck with it, sounds like a nightmare!
Cake, yes, that is a bit of a worry.
Clairwil, ty, I agree with you, especially as I've not had an IB50 since the first one I filled out (my GP was rather scathing in his letter to them about my future work prospects) The new system is really scary.
Casdok, thank you
Kim, thank you x
Pixie, yes it can be frustrating at times, mostly because none of this had to happen, and the system is very unfair, but I'm just as 'normal' as anyone else ;) BG x

i saw a politican on the news the other day saying that they were looking to "help" 20 000 people off the sick list a year.
that's a quota isn't it.
it asks no questions like are there 20 000 a year we can get off the list? it's just get them off the list so we can save money.
i thought we'd got past that kind of thinking years ago.
Shows what I know.

~The Life After~
Alex let out a jaded sigh of relief when the girl finally stopped struggling and fell limp in his arms. This day had not started out nearly as well as he had planned. Borris was seriously wounded, and the stranger was dead… all to rescue a girl who claimed she didn't want to be. If it hadn't been for the bruising to her neck and the guilt on the stranger's face, Alex would have left her with him. If she'd just gone willingly, no one need have been hurt at all, but she had fought so hard to stay… until Alex's hand had been forced. He hoped it was worth it.
Chink looked like he was doubting the same thing as he rubbed the back of his chainmailed head gingerly. "Ow! I've ne'er seen a girl fight so 'ard to stay with such a villain."
Alex shook his head. "I don't think he was a villain in her eyes, Chink. At least not today. Today, we are the bad guys."
There was a huff from his friend that he understood without need for words but Chink growled them out anyway. "You seen what 'e done to Borris! I swears, if that cur hadn't fallen in the fire, I would 'ave torn 'im limb from limb!" Alex shifted the weight of the girl to his left arm so he could put his hand on Chink's shaking shoulders. The big man's face was screwed up in a scowl, moisture welling in his eyes that threatened to crumple his pride. "If Borris don't… if he…" Unable to finish voicing that Borris might not make it, he hardened his features with fresh anger and snarled the end of his threat. "I'm gunna track down 'is wretched spirit an' do it anyway!"
Alex tried to reassure his friend, "Don't worry; Borris is strong and the knife hit nothing vital or he wouldn't have been able to ride out of here. Nivia will see to him when they arrive. I know how stubborn my brother is. Too tough to kill. He'll be just fine." Chink nodded, satisfied in Alex's confidence but in truth, the rhetoric was for more than Chink's sake. If Alex could convince himself that his words were true he might just make it to Nivia's without becoming hysterical.
"What do we do with her now?"
"Grab their packs. We're taking her with us to Nivia. Perhaps the old woman can convince her it was for the best." Because heaven knew he'd had no luck of it.

text: "To deny your impulses is to deny the very thing that makes you human" Born and bred in Johannesburg, South Africa, my life has been filled with incredible adventure, unforgettable memories and moments along with real elements of danger. I have travelled extensively through Africa and a bit of Europe when I emigrated to the UK for several years, but found myself not myself as I am a true 'African' girl and returned home to South Africa where I currently reside. I have always thoroughly enjoyed writing and often kept journals from a young age about my experiences through life growing up – truly entertaining reading and 're-living' those experiences so many years ago…ah to be young and innocent again! With my massive interest in writing, I decided I wanted to take it further than just simply jotting down thoughts and feelings in a journal. So, I decided to sign up and enrol at the SA Writers' College to strengthen my writing ability and home in on different styles of writing.

Chapter Three, Part One: Blue ShiftMature
"Doctor this is very far from Wonderland!" Clara calls, as the fall steals her breath and the walls of the SHARDIS's gullet make for interesting dinner theatre, surrounding her on all sides with paintings of a running woman in blue whose dark eyes seem to follow her descent in a spiral of nauseous unprivacy.
Her skin feels hot as she plummets; her hands grapple with the heat of being swallowed by a giant woman-shaped ship with abandonment issues and stalkerish tendencies.
She contemplates the bottom, imagining it to be a lively affair of grating and acid and crunching and placid deniability coated in white goo.
Gravity, however... well it has other ideas.
Clara's bum strikes heavy on a pile of books, slightly singed and recently; she can tell from the smell of charcoal rising from them. Not to mention the sordid affair of their crispy black pages. The covers are blank, giving no more of their names when she picks them up then a pile of ashes would of its former shape. Her fingers rub her backend, patting away as she scrambles up and onto her stockinged feet again. Black stockings, red dress.
She sighs.
"At least it isn't Trenzalore!"
A buzzing sound ingratiates itself, building and building until she can hear it in her ears instead of merely close by.
Her dark eyes flip back and forth, trailing imaginary shadows in the candlelight splaying on the walls like the consulting posters of some forgotten medical experiment.

Piecing Together the Phantom Puzzle
After the mercenaries had exited Brin'tac and the others remained behind to discuss their situation alone. Brin'tac was the first to begin speaking. "Our situation looks grim, my friends, but I do have confidence that this Gariss person is doing what is best for us. I think we should continued to follow his leadership until we've escaped this planet. Now, however, I'd like to discuss with you all the events that have brought us here. I believe that if we work together we might be able to solve this mystery."
Geldar nodded. "Agreed."
"Now," said Brin'tac, "we know that this Vlagari was Wraith, the same individual that kidnapped my family and murdered Master Jin Tai Lo. We also know that he was the Dark Jedi involved in the Wookiee-Trandoshan Conflict. Vlagari is also the assistant to the aide that replaced the aide that replaced me, who had mysteriously died."
"So it's safe to say that Vlagari was responsible for the death of the aide that had replaced you," stated Satchal flatly.
"Fairly safe," Brin'tac replied. "However, that aide didn't die except by natural causes."
"Or so it seemed," Satchal replied. "He gave us an illusion back on Darga Prime, and the Dark Side is very deceptive. It wouldn't be hard for him to give anyone a heart attack."
"Do you think he's the one who killed Savor Kibbs then, back on Naboo?" wondered Lialla.
"Most likely," Geldar answered. "Kibbs' death was too strange and coincidental. Chances are Vlagari was there."
"Same thing with Pent on Coruscant," said Tso. "Remember, he died the same way right when we were interrogating him."
"So what does all this mean?" Tarrsk wanted to know.
"It means that the Sith have some ties to politics," Brin'tac said confidently. "They wanted to get me and my successor out of the way for some reason."
"And Master Lo," added Nyarchagga.
"Not likely Master Lo," Brin'tac corrected. "He got in the way, according to what the evidence shows. I also think Kylarra Tharn got in the way as well which led to her demise. There was some other interest that the Sith had in both the Wookiee-Trandoshan Conflict and in taking my place as the Senator's aide."
"Let's not forget that there was some sort of interest in the Flail organization too," said Tso.
"And what was their purpose again?" Lialla inquired.
"They were attempting to kill Supreme Chancellor Vallorum," Geldar told her.
"They were also working for Sidious, according to Kibbs," Nyarchagga said. "That was the Dark Lord of the Sith that he said was the master and genius behind everything."
"Then the answer is clear," Kradlo, Tianti's assistant interrupted as the idea struck him like a bolt of lightning. He moved forward to stand in the center of them all as he held his balding head as if he had just built the first hyperdrive. "Senator Ay'laya was a strong supporter of Chancellor Vallorum. However, after you left your position and we were hired on Ay'laya began to see how the Chancellor was failing in his position and pulled out his support. We've even begun to see a change come over the Senator of late, as if a dark cloud were passing over his eyes. This Sidious must have wanted the Supreme Chancellor out of office."
"But why?" wondered Tso. "It's not like Sidious has replaced him. Palpatine has."
Kradlo gave him a look that was the Anomid's best attempt at a raised eyebrow. "Palpatine is a puppet. Everyone knows that the Senate elected him into power because they wanted a pushover in office. Greedy lawmakers only want someone they can control, and Palpatine's that person. He's a pawn in Sidious' plans, can't you see that?"
Brin'tac shook his head as everything came into focus. "Vlagari needed to get into a position where he could use his Dark Side powers to influence Ay'laya so that he could strip the Supreme Chancellor of his strongest support."
"But what does that have to do with the Trandoshan-Wookiee Conflict?" Tarrsk inquired.
Brin'tac turned toward his friend, his eyes alight with enlightenment though his face dark and foreboding. "The delegates from Kashyyyk were also some of the strongest supporters of Vallorum. With the Conflict going on between the Wookiees and the Trandoshans those delegates would not have time to concern themselves with the affairs of Vallorum. They would have their own problems to deal with."
"Then Naboo was just a stage to set up Vallorum's fall as well," Lialla interjected as everything became clearer for her as well. "That's why the Sith Lord Maul was there. He wanted to help set the stage to prove that Vallorum couldn't handle the conflict and new leadership was needed."
"Precisely," said Brin'tac. "This Sidious is indeed a genius."
"Okay," said Satchal as he tried desperately to keep an open mind through all this. "I understand where you're coming from in all this, but where does Master Lo's death come in, and why did I have those dreams about Bher Nagg Rouge?"
"Wraith needed someone to pin the crime on, and since Master Lo had freed Tso you were the next best target," Geldar responded.
Brin'tac added, "Your master must have learned something from the Bothan spy he had contacted, and had gone to discover the truth. Wraith and his cronies killed him to keep him from discovering more."
"What about Creed?" Tso asked.
"Creed was talking too much," said Geldar. "That much was told to us by the pirate we captured near Darga Prime. Wraith went there to kill Creed and Master Lo got in the way."
"Are we sure that was the real villain who killed my master?" Satchal wondered. "He seemed to flee at the first sign of combat with us. Someone who killed Master Lo should have been more than a match for all of us, don't you think?"
"Perhaps," said Geldar, deep in thought.
"But Wraith didn't kill Master Lo alone," Brin'tac reminded them. "He had those pirates aiding him."
And with that said a deep silence hovered over the lounge. At last, Nyarchagga broke the silence by asking, "Can someone put this in Dug, please? I still don't understand how you've worked this all out."
Brin'tac turned to him with a warm smile. "Master Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith, arranged to remove Supreme Chancellor Vallorum from power. He used the Flail organization on Coruscant to set up a frame job against the Chancellor. In order to successfully do this he had to remove Vallorum's strongest supporters so he had a conflict created between the Wookiees and the Trandoshans to remove all Wookiee support of Vallorum. He then arranged to have my family kidnapped so he could move his servant Wraith into close enough proximity to Ay'laya to remove him from supporting Vallorum. He knew I'd chase after my family and leave my position to find them. He then had Savor Kibbs, the former leader of the Flail, frame Vallorum to destroy his reputation. Kibbs then left the organization and killed all of their leaders in an 'accident.' He left Pent in charge of it to further cause Vallorum trouble, which is how we got involved in the situation."
"Shortly after all of this, Sidious manipulated the Trade Federation to attack Naboo so that he could use the conflict to prove Vallorum was incompetent as a leader. He succeeded and managed to get him kicked out of his seat replacing him with someone more easily controlled and manipulated."
"Senator Palpatine," added Kradlo.
"To keep everyone quiet, Wraith assassinated Pent and Kibbs with the Force," Geldar put in.
"Creed knew a lot of this," Brin'tac continued, "and Wraith was going to kill him as well, but Master Lo learned of his presence on Darga Prime and intercepted him."
"Which is why he died," Satchal said almost despondently.
"And my mother died while interfering with the Trandoshan-Wookiee Conflict because she had gotten in the way," Geldar said with almost the same emotion.
"And my crew was killed to frame me for Creed's murder which never happened," Tso added.
"And Satchal's dreams were given to him to make it seem that he was the one who'd done it all," Brin'tac concluded with a final, dramatic sweep with his hand around the room.
"And now we're all here because he's stranded us here to die," Lialla decided to add after everyone had fallen silent once more. "We know too much."
"Which was why they set us up," Tarrsk growled.
"An almost perfect conspiracy," Brin'tac said, unable to hide his admiration for the crime in spite of his disgust for the person who'd thought it up.
"Almost," said Nyarchagga. "Except that we're still alive and we're going to get off this natural freezer unit to pay back this Darth Sidious and his clan of would-be Jedi."
Satchal couldn't help but smile at the Dug. They were inspiring words, which were unusual coming from Nyarchagga, and they lifted his mood a bit. "Right. They obviously underestimated us or we wouldn't still be here. Gariss and his mercenaries were hired to kill us. I think we managed to mess up Wraith's plans, and he stranded us here instead. We gave him something to worry about."
"Indeed," said Brin'tac. "I agree. He seemed to have fled prematurely."
"The only thing that I don't understand is why Master Orruwarr left me to this task alone," Geldar said after losing himself in thought for a time. "I still have no idea where he's gone or why."
"That will be a mystery to solve for another day," Brin'tac replied as he put his hand on Geldar's shoulder. "I'm sure Orruwarr knew what he was doing."
"In the meantime we need to work together to get this ship flying again," Tso said, feeling a sense of exhilaration after they had figured out so much. Now things looked better. Now they had a purpose and a reason to get off Hoth. They had to return to the known galaxy and tell everyone about Sidious and his plans. "Don't worry, my friends. I will get us out of here."
"That I have no doubt," said Brin'tac with a smile. "We will return to the known galaxy, and together we will find my family and bring Sidious and his minions to justice!"

Churchill during the war must be the most thoroughly ploughed field in British biography, but the incomparable Max has achieved a near-miracle. His account of the great warlord is excitingly told and, as Andrew Roberts has pointed out, endowed with "fresh stories".
It is a portrait in the round of a man who "thrilled to the cannon's roar", yet was deeply moved by the cost. With forensic skill, Hastings exposes Churchill's defects: "dictatorial, eloquent and muddle-headed," according to Leo Amery.
We learn of the "second Dunkirk" in 1940 when Churchill would have condemned 200,000 men of the British Expeditionary Force to "death or captivity" were it not for Alan Brooke's insistence on retreat. Yet Churchill took the right decision. This is a terrific portrait of a flawed giant.

What would happen if you Tasered an elephant?
QuoteWhat would happen if you Tasered an elephant?You would have the animal welfare group all over your back []

But my point was that Tasers work by deploying electrodes that embed themselves into the skin in order to make contant. I suspect that most of an elephant's hide will be too think for a Taser electrode to penetrate, although I have no objective data...!
Tasers work by passing electricity between two electrodes that pierce the skin. This disrupts nerve and muscle activity, leading to temporary stunning. In practical terms, contact between each electrode and the salty extracellular fluid within the tissue enables a current to flow, depolarising nerve and muscle cell membranes to produce pain and collapse.

Call it cowardly but I didn't care. The medication just sat there, obviously doing nothiing but nothing except for the stomach cramps.
Taking medicine for pain I discovered meant to take it if you wanted further pain.
She had left, I don't blame her, the pros had outweighed the cons. Ironically, the drunken backflip that had destroyed my leg on that concrete form had initially been to impress her. What she had got instead was a frantic, terrifying ride in an ambulance with me. My blood was on her hands.
And then the depression, the muting, need for sleep that shut her out of my life because I couldn't deal with one leg, let alone the crimson guilt I had sprayed on her. No job, no girl, no leg.
"Try to cheer up", she had said. And then started talking about paralympics. The Special Olympics. I snapped at her.
"Next time you have one leg, can I give you advice?"
And she was gone. And all I had to stare at was the bottle of pills that only caused me further pain. It was 2:00. I had been alone all day, immobile, immobilized, immune.
I took 4. Then 3 more. Then said f*ck it, and dumped the whole pile down my throat with the flat soda on my nightstand. Not even out of spite or wishing that people would miss me, when it gets to that point, it's sheer carelessness. And I didn't care. And I'm waiting to sleep.

Musso Ice Product Makers Critique
Musso Lussino is an Italian maker of ice cream devices and make stand by yourself self chilled equipment. Most other machines, even the completely automated, counter major products come with a canister which is made from double walled metallic and is also stuffed that has a liquid that needs to be frozen just before you may use it. This freezing will take nearly eight hrs meaning that you have to plan nowadays to help make it tomorrow http://www.dessertmenus.com/dq-dairy-queen-blizzard-prices-flavors/.
The majority of people take in ice product for a spur of your instant issue, and the counter-top kinds really never function below unless you keep the canister completely while in the freezer, occupying 50 percent of it. The Musso devices won't need to have any pre-freezing and just usually takes all-around 5 minutes extra to generate. They've two products and both are reviewed below.
Musso Lussino 4080 product
This can be their dwelling model and is produced completely of chrome steel. Even the paddles within are of chrome steel so there is not any doubting their high quality. This product also can make ice cream in thirty minutes and just involves which you put with your elements and change it on; no pre freezing. The only real issue is usually that this model fees $700. At this selling price you'll be able to go try to eat out as an alternative to making it in your house. In the event you such as house manufactured variety better the quaint ice and salt combination functions at the same time as this but at 1/3rd the speed.
Musso Pola industrial product
That is their commercial model and after once again is simply a far more robust version in their home variation. Additionally, it has a larger sized potential but at $1200 it definitely actually pricey. In the event you have a parlour, you might consider this, but like a house product this really is just not going to operate.
As talked about already Musso will make very superior ice cream makers, however it is their value that places people off. Get them only if you really think that the convenience that they offer is one area that you choose to definitely need.

Welcome to my website. In my musings, I cover far ranging topics through the prism of my philosophical/spiritual outlook. From long term care, and especially person-centered care, to music (Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, and the Blues), to spirituality of all sorts, to food and many others, I hope my pithy commentary can be stimulating and, perhaps, even controversial in its approach to topics.
Since retiring from the active role of leading Pinon Management, I have encountered new challenges and opportunities. I have battled cancer and recovered. I continue to contribute what I can to the dialogue of long term care and life in general through my hopefully wizened perspective.
I currently am doing this through several modalities. I have recently published my memoir, Oh Mercy! Additionally, in conjunction with others I am working with Metropolitan State University of Denver creating a masters program for long term care leadership.
Enjoy, I welcome your comments.

|[PATCH] validator: create jar-with-dependencies that actually runs
|Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:08:19 GMT
hi all, i've just had a need for the ODF validator, tried to build it from source and failed miserably. using "mvn install" i got some weird JEE .war thing, a .jar file with the sources (the point of which escapes me), and a validator-with-all-dependencies.jar file. the latter looked promising until it became apparent that it didn't, uhmmm, include the actual validator classes, so it didn't run. attached is my attempt to fix this; i failed to somehow add extra files to the existing "assembly" thing so just copied its definition from the maven website and added the target/classes, which seems to work but is likely not the best way to do this (please note that i know absolutely nothing about maven). one annoyance i have with the maven build is that it appears to download the ODF schemas from the OASIS site over and over again on every "mvn install", never noticing that they already exist on the filesystem. i remember a time when the validator was built with ant when that didn't happen. well back then one had to download all schemas once manually which is hardly convenient, but subsequent builds were much faster. also i've noticed the lack of a .gitignore hence the second patch. regards, michael

He will die, he will die now
~Maximum Ride~
I banged my fist on the glass table. "We will hunt her down if it's the last thing we do in our lives." I shouted.
"Max they could have killed her by now, or restored her body..."Keira whispered.
"No!No!She doesn't deserve this! She doesn't belong in this world and she certainly doesn't belong there!" I screeched. Keira's eyes frequently stared from me to my fist.
"Then how do you suppose we all get to Sinicon and get her without being caught, without leaving our city alone and without getting killed hm?" She asked sarcastically. "You can't go alone." She hissed.
"Well what If I have to?!"
"Even if you have to, do you have a plan of getting in?Do you?!" I sighed down at the floor and slumped back in my chair.
"No."I whispered.
"And if the girl is already dead then what is the point of going to get a dead body and getting killed for just a ragged, dead, ugly,body?!" I growled under my breath and she whispered,"Even if she was alive...she would have been either restored into another person or an outsider by now."
"What do you suppose we do then?..." A long silence filled the room of workers.
"We leave it. We get on with our lives and let them be, there is nothing we can do-" She sighed.
"I am doing nothing but that. Anything, just get her back safely. I'm going alone. Just because you don't like the girl doesn't mean we should let her die." I hissed and banged the table again.
"I'm coming with you." Shua looked at me certainly.
"Alright, me and Shua can go alone while you take care of Echobon, let no-one in, let no-one out. Understand?" Everyone nodded apart from Keira. I looked towards her, her hand was on her face and her red hair covered her in dismay. "Are you coming?" I asked. She looked up, her red eyes filled with tears. She nodded lightly.
"You stay here now little kitty, don't move," The bald man chuckled as I was tied onto a chair.
" If I'm going to die...do it quickly, I don't want a long and painful death." I tried to look like I wasn't bothered by this, but the truth is I am extremely scared out of my leather suit.
"Ok." He smiled and walked away with the other ginger man around the corridor. I fidgeted around in the seat, pulling the wires that were scratching my hands and trying to pull them out. Since when do people tie you up with barb wire instead of rope?! Oh no...I knew why.
I cried silently, bending my head back so the tears rolled over my ears and onto my short hair. This would be painful. Very painful.I huffed, they wouldn't do this, I was too important, I just had to suck it up and live with it. Who was I kidding, we all know that I can't do this.
Then he walked in, Chiaki. The handsome man who I thought I knew more than this. He silently walked towards me, playing with a lock of my short hair. i stayed frozen, my breathing becoming heavier by the second.
We stayed there for a while until we both new he had to break the silence. "I don't want to do this," He whispered.
"Then why are you doing it?!" I hissed back.
"You are the only person who has been to Echobon and knows the information to it. We need you to be truthful and tell us everything." He asked me politely but I decided to make a witty remark.
"Well this is a big mistake. Do you know why? You restored my body, and I knew quite a bit about Echobon before and now, I know a little that isn't important whatsoever. Your mistake.Sorry."
I could have sworn he whispered damn it. "Do it." he nodded his head in the direction of the wall behind me. Sparks blew up the wires and shocked me harshly. I shivered and screamed violently as I fidgeted around the chair trying to get them off of me. It stopped after 10 seconds of eternal pain. "So what were you saying?" He asked. My breathing was heavier than before and If I bit my tongue right now I'm sure it would bleed.
"Hurt me all you want but I'm not saying anyth-" I screamed in pain as it shocked me again. He stopped it and Chiaki bent down in front of me.
"Tell me." He spat. I could feel dribble coming down my mouth and my hair was making pop noises. I couldn't think let alone speak. "Alright then, turn it to 60 vaults. Leave her to die."
"Wait!" I screamed. He smiled and the man who wanted to electricute me sighed.
"All I know is...they have sagaii girl festivals, they have offices, and they all go around wearing funny leather suits," He looked at me strangely."Oh yeah and there was an intruder alert, but it was a while ago." I sighed.
"Put her back in the cell," he breathed. They undid everything and held me tightly, pushing me along towards the cell. The bald man and the ginger man took me, chattering endlessly about stupid things. I knew what to do. When we came around the corner and we were about to walk towards my cell, I flung the fat one around and slammed him to the ground stamping on him, then grabbed the scrawny one and banged his head onto one of the bars on the cells. When they both were out completely out of it I took their keys and ran up to the girls cell. I quickly scrambled through the keys and undid the door, grabbing her hand and pulling her past mad men and screaming children.
"What are you doing?!" She cried.
"Getting you out of here that's what I'm doing." I replied as we ran around a corner and an alarm sounded noisily. We stopped dead. Chiaki was in front of us. His black hair and dark eyes dangerously close to our faces.
"Where do you think your going?" He asked over the alarm. He tried to grab my arm but the girl next to me had something in her hand and slammed him around the head with it. I looked to the ground to see Chiaki, unconcioussness overwhelming him.
"Uh..." I looked at her and Chiaki, completely confused.
"I want to get out too! Come on!" We ran through empty corridors, passing the red lights above us that sounded even louder than before. We stumbled around nervously running away from guards and running away from danger as we know it. We were in a maze of madness, searching our way out.

In the Heart of the Sea Parent Review
This new spin on Moby Dick is more in keeping with today's environmental sensibilities, but this adventure movie may leave audiences feeling lost at sea. Violence and other story details get gruesome.
Movie Review
In 1851, Herman Melville published Moby Dick, a work of fiction that would eventually become a classic. The novel was said to be inspired by the author's own experience aboard a whaling ship and the horrific circumstances surrounding the 1820 sinking of the Nantucket Essex. The 2015 movie, In the Heart of the Sea, goes at this adventure the other way around. It recounts a fictional meeting of Herman Melville (played by Ben Whishaw), an aspiring writer with a fascination for fish stories born out of his own ocean experiences, interviewing the last living survivor (Brendan Gleeson) of the Essex, hoping to reveal the real events of the ship's fateful voyage.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
If this seems a rather convoluted way to dramatize a true history, you are right. My best guess is the screenwriters chose to tie these stories together because they saw parallels between them. Yet viewers familiar with the book will undoubtedly notice a course correction between the themes presented in the 1800s and those of the new millennia.
Told through the eyes of Tom Nickerson (Tom Holland/ Brendan Gleeson), the narrative is shared in various pieces describing the journey. The first introduces Captain George Pollard (Benjamin Walker) and his first mate Owen Chase (Chris Hemsworth). Chosen to helm the expedition because he comes from a well-established family that has made its fortune through whaling, Pollard brings no experience to his position. Accepting second-in-command because of financial necessity, Chase is a well-seasoned seaman even though his father was a farmer. Their clash of egos takes its toll on their shipmates. This is dramatically demonstrated when Pollard heads recklessly into a storm to prove his superiority, and runs straight into danger for the crew and vessel alike.
Next, the men encounter their first hunting opportunity. Pursuing the mammals of the deep with an unholy joy, the creatures are harpooned willy-nilly until one is speared enough times that blood spurts through his blow hole. Although the fishermen are in peril too, the real loser is the bull that is killed and butchered. This gruesome procedure is depicted in some detail, along with the decision to force Tom to crawl into the putrid carcass of the whale in order to collect as much oil as possible.
However, their prey is becoming increasingly scarce, so the Essex decides to go where few sailors have gone before. Ignoring warnings, they set out 1000 leagues along the equator in search of a breeding ground. Their excitement at finding a large school of sperm whales is dampened though when one of the hunted takes exception to their pillaging and turns and attacks them. A monster as big as the boat itself, the whale quickly splinters the ship and drowns the men's hope of returning safely home.
All the action sequences stop now, as the script wallows in the doldrums of survival at sea, with depictions of starvation that eventually lead to cannibalism. (This is described but not explicitly shown). Other concerning content consists of frequent profanities, an on-screen shooting and portrayals of drinking.
Considering the money spent on special effects, the talented cast and the gripping source material, this film ought to be a thrill ride from beginning to end. Unfortunately, it is not. Perhaps the problem is the frequent breaks in the plotline. Or maybe it is an unexpected twist that throws off the anticipated momentum.
Even those who have never cracked the cover on Moby Dick know that it is a "Man versus Nature" story. But this modern rendition drifts far way from the old themes. Carried on the changing tides of popular opinion, Man, despite being hampered by the human foible of revenge, is no longer the protagonist facing off against the enormous forces of nature. Instead, Man is the antagonist greedily reducing nature of its bounty. (And there are some strong comparisons between the whale and petroleum industries.) While this sympathetic slant may be more in keeping with today's environmental sensibilities, posting this message in the middle of an adventure movie may leave surprised audiences feeling a little lost at sea.Directed by Ron Howard. Starring Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy, Benjamin Walker. Running time: 121 minutes. Theatrical release December 11, 2015. Updated May 12, 2016

Learn more about the real Nantucket whaling ship: The Essex. This shipping disaster also inspired Herman Melville's novel and the movie Moby Dick.
How does the script compare the whale and petroleum industries? What fuels man's greed for oil? What environmental costs are ignored? How might the sympathy for whales felt by today's world help to foster a similar feeling for other ecological causes?
Pollard preaches man's superiority and his responsibility to conquer the world. How has that sentiment changed in the last 200 years? What is the modern view of man's responsibility? Do you think these attitudes might change over time as well? Do you ever wonder if we are just shifting one problem for the next, the way energy needs were shifted from hunting whales to drilling for oil?
From the Studio: In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. "In the Heart of the Sea" reveals the encounter's harrowing aftermath, as the ship's surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their captain searches for direction on the open sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great whale down. © Warner Bros

"Luke! Are you even listening to me?" My annoyingly older sister, Vanessa, put her hands on her hips and gave me the evil eye.
"Hardly." I admitted sourly. I had stopped listening an hour ago, sick of this day-long shopping trip I had been forced into. Nothing better to do, I was looking into a store window that was tinted enough to give me back my reflection. I liked the way that I looked- my black hair grown out long enough to almost cover my blue-green eyes. Well, they were more blue today because of my navy blue shirt, but they changed with whatever I wore. My smile was bold, and took up most of my face. I moved my hair around, trying to get it to sit perfectly. Once that was done, I smiled at myself. "Wow you look extremely gorgeous!"
"I swear, you are the hardest person to live with, just because you are so full of yourself." She grabbed a fistful of out of the back of my shirt and pulled me into another store.
"Hey! Get your hands off me!" I pulled away from her, which was fairly easy seeing that I was way taller than her. That was a good thing about being tall, it gave you the upper hand in most situations. "Have you got it into your thick skull yet that I'm 16? I don't need to be pushed and pulled around like a five year-old." I scowled as I brushed off the part of my shirt that had gotten into her clutches.
"Then act like it." Vanessa retorted.
"Then act like it." I mocked back, making my voice as annoying as possible.
She sighed. "Seeing as your going to be no help here, why don't you just go start the car? I'll finish up here and then you can pick me up at the entrance."
"Don't be surprised if I leave without you." I said sarcastically, as I headed out the store and made my way to the exit. As I walked, I begin to get angrier and angrier. Vanessa had no right to boss me around. I was practically an adult- I could make my own decisions.
I walked through the automatic doors, and thought I heard my name, but I wasn't sure.
The night air hit me, and with it a voice also, this time distinct. "Luke..." Looking around, I saw that I was alone, which seemed odd for a mall.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something shimmering on the ground. "What's this?" I bent down to take a closer look. It was a blue gem- a blue topaz to be exact, my birthstone, the birthstone of December.
Right as it made contact with the flesh of my palm, I felt a flash, as if lightning had struck me, yet I felt no pain. The shock knocked me off my feet, leaving me on my back.
I looked around to find I wasn't in the parking lot anymore, or anywhere that I recognized. Yet I still had the blue topaz in my hand. I placed it in my pocket and took a look around my surroundings. It seemed that I was in a field, and the only significant sight was a house, with bright lights shining.
Seeing as I really had no other choice, I moved toward the house, and cautiously knocked on the front door.
A girl greeted me, she had glasses on, which went over her brown eyes. "Hey, I'm Zoey. Why don't you come in?" She opened the door wider and I could see I was in a room full of bewildered looking people; I would fit right in.
"I'm Luke." I stated simply, before taking a step inside.

It's now been half a year since the Christmas holidays. Those care-free days of lounging on the beach and escaping on excursions now seem a lifetime ago, as we've settled into the familiar grind of daily work life. Fortunately, the school holidays are here again and hopefully you'll be free to do a bit of travelling.
Roy Morgan recently found that full-time Australian workers have an average of 21 days leave each, just in time for the holidays — in fact 28 percent have more than five weeks' worth. If you're one of this lucky percentage, you might be thinking about grabbing your credit card, booking flights and packing a bag.
In preparation, we've assembled a few top tips for using your credit card and keeping costs down when you're on foreign shores.
Do the appropriate checks
Your credit card will not only allow you to make purchases overseas, it might end up being an emergency fall-back. You don't want to pull it out only to find that you can't use it for whatever reason. Check the expiry date and make sure it doesn't correspond to the date you're travelling. If your card doesn't have a PIN, you might want to add one before you go — they don't accept signatures everywhere overseas.
Additionally, make sure your card isn't prevented from making overseas purchases. Often, credit card holders will lock in-store international payments so there's no chance of it being used without their knowledge. If you took this step, then make sure to unlock it before you go, otherwise you might end up using more of the funds in your savings account.
Inform your credit provider
Before you leave, get in touch with the credit card issuer and let them know that you're going away, where you're travelling to and what the dates are. Ideally, you could simply print off your itinerary and give it to them. It couldn't hurt to provide a phone number as well.
Most cards have automatic fraud detection systems that can put a block on the card if they detect anything suspicious. Doing this will prevent your card from being mistakenly blocked. Not only that, but if something suspicious does happen with your card, your provider will be able to better detect it.
Be careful with fees
Whether it's a coffee in Prague or a pretzel in Cologne, whenever you pay for something overseas with your credit card, there's a chance you'll get charged a fee. This is because each of these transactions could require a currency conversion, which some providers add a charge on for, usually around 2-3 percent. It sounds small, but it can add up if you're swiping left and right. Same goes with cash advances, which have higher fees if you're doing them overseas.
Try to limit how much you use your credit card when you're in a foreign country. Also, look for ATMs that are compatible with your particular card, so as to avoid an extra charge on top. Finally, consider carrying out a credit card comparison on some of the top cards for overseas spending to find a card that has low or even no foreign transaction fees — they do exist!
Use a special travel credit card
Taking more than one credit card — or at least, more than one form of money, such as travellers cheques and foreign currency — is a good idea whenever you travel. Look for cards that are specifically tailored to international purchases to really make the most of this strategy.
Travel money cards are a popular option for jet setters of all kinds. With this card, you pre-load spending money before you jump on the flight, choosing different amounts in different currencies and locking in the exchange rate. You just have to do some strategic spending — if one currency 'bucket' runs out of funds, the card will automatically transfer money from another, charging you a fee in the process. It just means you need to stick closely to your holiday budget.
Additionally — or alternatively — compare the credit cards out there and find ones with travel perks that you can take along. A card with complimentary travel cover could be a useful thing to have.

Following the recommendations in Speaking Up for Justice, Part II of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 includes provisions that enable a court to appoint an intermediary to assist vulnerable or intimidated witnesses, including children, to give their best evidence in criminal proceedings.
As a first step, the intermediary project group taking forward the implementation of this measure is keen to hear from barristers who have had experience of questioning a client or a witness with a communication disability and children, with the assistance of a communications facilitator or intermediary, in a judicial or other similar formal setting.
You may be aware of locally agreed guidelines or protocols, or assisted in drawing up policy for the conduct of such work.
We would be very interested to see any guidelines or protocols or to hear about your experiences, including your views on the categories of witness most likely to benefit from such assistance.
The project group wishes to draw on existing good practice in the use of communication facilitators or intermediaries in judicial or other formal settings.
The information obtained from this collection of resources will be used when developing guidance and identifying the training needed, both for intermediaries working in criminal courts and also those whose questions are being conveyed through the intermediary.
Please contact me at the address below with information or your suggestions. I would be grateful to receive any responses by 15 March 2000.

Thousands are expected to take to the streets of east London on Saturday to oppose a demonstration by the far-right group the English Defence League.
The Metropolitan police announced earlier this week that the EDL's planned protest would be prevented from entering the "heart of Tower Hamlets" and would be subject to strict controls.
But local politicians and anti-racist campaigners say they are still expecting thousands to demonstrate against the EDL.
The counter-demonstration is supported by the Tower Hamlets mayor, Lutfur Rahman. He said that while he welcomes the police decision to restrict the EDL to the outskirts of the borough it did not go far enough.
"Allowing it to go ahead risks community cohesion, could result in disorder, threaten public safety and risks the threat of violence to property, police personnel and the local community," he said.
The call for an outright ban was echoed by Rushanara Ali, the Labour MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, earlier this week.
The EDL, which has held a series of violent and provocative anti-Muslim demonstrations in towns and cities across England since it was formed, has been accused of using the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich in May to garner support.
In June, a mosque and community centre in Muswell Hill, north London, was burnt to the ground and the letters EDL scrawled on the walls.
Weyman Bennett, of Unite Against Fascism which is helping organise Saturday's counter-demonstration, said: "We need the maximum unity to oppose the attacks on Muslims and to keep the EDL out of Tower Hamlets."
The demonstration has the support of several major trade unions. Len McCluskey, general secretary of Unite, said: "The EDL has nothing to offer the people of Tower Hamlets but hatred and fear. Not the jobs, hope or strong communities, the very things I saw people striving for when I visited the area and the east London and Brick Lane mosques earlier this summer."
He said Unite was calling on its members to support the counter-demonstration. "Unite urges the biggest turnout this Saturday for the UAF/United East End community mobilisation to keep Tower Hamlets safe."
Chief Superintendent Jim Read from the Met said the force had tried to balance the right to protest with the need to protect the local community when it took the decision to restrict the EDL demonstration to the outskirts of the borough.
"The communities have made it clear to us the impact that groups expressing extreme views has upon them. We have listened to those concerns, and we will keep working with all our communities."
He added: "These conditions prevent the EDL from entering the heart of Tower Hamlets, residential areas and religious premises which would have been unnecessarily intimidating and likely to cause disorder and disruption."

A handyman is a person skilled at a wide range of repairs, typically around the home. These tasks include trade skills, repair work, maintenance work, both interior and exterior, and are sometimes described as "odd jobs", "fix-up tasks", and include light plumbing jobs such as fixing a leaky toilet or light electric jobs such as changing a light fixture.
Handyman projects
The term handyman increasingly describes a paid worker, but it also includes non-paid homeowners or do-it-yourselfers. Tasks range from minor to major, from unskilled to highly skilled, and include painting, drywall repair, remodeling, minor plumbing work, minor electrical work, household carpentry, sheetrock, crown moulding, and furniture assembly (see more complete list below.) The term handyman is occasionally applied as an adjective to describe politicians or business leaders who make substantial organizational changes, such as overhauling a business structure or administrative division.
Many people can do common household repairs. There are resources on the Internet, as well as do-it-yourself guide books, with instructions about how to complete a wide range of projects. Sometimes the fix-it skill is seen as genetic, and people lacking such skills are said to "lack the handy-man gene." One trend is that fewer homeowners are inclined to do fix-up jobs, perhaps because of time constraints, perhaps because of lack of interest; one reporter commented "my family's fix-it gene petered out before it reached my generation." A primary rule for all do-it-yourself repair work is focus entirely on one thing at a time. For example, focus on getting a nail; then focus on hammering the nail; but don't try to do both tasks simultaneously. In this manner, injuries and mistakes are avoided.
Generally the job of paid handyman is low status, a semi-skilled labor job. It's a less prestigious occupation than a specialist such as a plumber, electrician, or carpenter. With the emergence of large national chains, and effort is being made to change that perception, by emphasizing professionalism and the fact that a handyman is actually a technician with multiple skills and a wide range of knowledge. At the same time, unpaid homeowners skilled at repairs are valued for saving money. And handyman tools sometimes become useful in different places: for example, when a proper neurological drill was not available, an Australian doctor used a handyman's drill in 2009 to open a hole in the head of a 13-year old boy to relieve pressure after a brain injury; the boy's life was saved.
Handyman businesses
Market estimates
An estimate was that in 2003, the market for home-maintenance and repair spending was up 14% from 2001 to 2003. Another estimate was that the market in the United States was $126 billion and was increasing by about 4% annually. American homes are aging; one estimate was that in 2007, more than half of all homes are older than 25 years. And, as populations worldwide tend to become older, on average, and since increasingly elderly people will be less inclined and able to maintain their homes, it is likely that demand for handyman services will grow.
Independent operators
Many towns have handymen who work part-time, for friends or family or neighbors, who are skilled in a variety of tasks. Sometimes they advertise in newspapers or online. They vary in quality, professionalism, skill level, and price. Contractors often criticize the work of previous contractors, and this practice is not limited to handymen, but to all trades.Handymen have advertised their services through flyers and mailings; in addition, free websites such as Craigslist and SkillSlate help customers and handymen find each other.
Franchise businesses
In 2009, there were national handyman service firms which handle such nationwide tasks as public relations, marketing, advertising, and signage, but sell specific territories to franchise owners. A franchise contract typically gives a franchise owner the exclusive right to take service calls within a given geographical area. The websites of these firms put possible customers in touch with local owners, which have handypersons and trucks. Customers call the local numbers. Typically these firms charge around $100/hour, although fees vary by locality and time of year. In many parts of the world, there are professional handyman firms that do small home or commercial projects which claim possible advantages such as having workers who are insured and licensed. Their branch offices schedule service appointments for full-time and part-time handymen to visit and make repairs, and sometimes coordinate with sub-contractors.
One Lehman Brothers executive, after being let go from the Wall Street firm, bought a Union, New Jersey franchise from a national handyman firm. A franchise was approximately $110,000 with a franchise fee of $14,900, according to a spokesperson for a national handyman franchise.
Some see a benefit of franchising as "entrepreneurship under the safety net of a tried-and-true business umbrella" but forecast a 1.2 percent decrease in franchise businesses during the 2008-2009 recession. In 2005, according to a survey released by the Washington-based International Franchise Association showed 909,000 franchised establishments in the United States employing some 11 million people. Franchises offer training, advertising and information technology support, lower procurement costs and access to a network of established operators.
Franchise handyman firms sometimes pitch clients by asking prospective customers about their unresolved "to-do lists." The firm does odd jobs, carpentry, and repairs. Trends such as a "poverty of time" and a "glut of unhandy husbands" has spurred the business. Technicians do a range of services including tile work, painting, and wallpapering. One firm charges $88 per hour. The firm targets a work category which full-fledged remodelers and contractors find unprofitable. A consumer was quoted by a reporter explaining the decision to hire one firm: "'I couldn't find anyone to come in and help me because the jobs were too small', said Meg Beck of Huntington, who needed some painting and carpentry done. She turned to one franchise firm and said she liked the fact that the service has well-marked trucks and uniformed technicians and that a dispatcher called with the names of the crew before they showed up." There are indications that these businesses are growing. There are different firms operating.
Other competitors include online referral services. In addition, some large home centers offer installation services for products such as cabinets and carpet installation. Sometimes homeowners contact a professional service after trying, but failing, to do repair work themselves; in one instance, a Minneapolis homeowner attempted a project but called a technician to finish the project, and the overall cost was substantial.
Assessment of handyman options
How well do the franchise chains perform? One Wall Street Journal reporting team did an informal assessment by hiring "handymen all over the country and asked them to fix a wide range of problems, from a relatively routine leaky faucet to a sticky door." The reporter concluded that "with few licensing requirements and standards for the industry, prices are all over the board." One quote was ten times as large as another. Further, the reporter concluded "A big corporate name is no guarantee of quality or speedy service." One corporate firm took three weeks to fix a stuck door. Service varied from spotty to good, with complaints about unreturned phone calls, service people standing on dining room chairs, leaving holes between wood planking, but liked getting multiple jobs done instead of just one. Customers liked handymen wearing hospital booties (to avoid tracking dirt in houses).The reporter chronicled one experience with repairing a water-damaged ceiling. A franchise firm fixed it for $1,530; a second (non-franchise local handyman) fixed a similar ceiling for $125. The reporter preferred the second worker, despite the fact that he "doesn't have a fancy van -- or carry proof of insurance." Tips for selecting a good handyman include: ask questions, get written estimates on company stationery, make sure handymen guarantee their work, pay with credit cards or checks because this provides an additional record of each transaction, check references and licenses, and review feedback about the contractors from Internet sites.
Legal issues
Generally, in the United States, there are few legal issues if an unpaid homeowner works on a project within their own home, with some exceptions. Some jurisdictions require paid handypeople to be licensed and/or insured. New Jersey, for example, requires all handymen who work in for-profit businesses serving residential and commercial customers, to be registered and insured. Often handymen are barred from major plumbing, electrical wiring, or gas-fitting projects for safety reasons, and authorities sometimes require workers to be licensed in particular trades. However, minor plumbing work such as fixing water taps, connecting sinks, fixing leaks, or installing new washing machines, are usually permitted to be done without licensing. Many handymen are insured under a property damage liability policy, so that accidental property damage from negligence or accidents are covered.
Distinction between handyman and general contractor
It is generally assumed that a handyman, being a jack of many trades, performs the work himself. The general contractor, on the other hand, hires more specialized subcontractors (or handymen) to perform some or all of the construction work.
List of handyman jobs
The list of projects which handymen can do is extensive, and varies from easy-to-learn tasks which take little time such as changing a light bulb, to extensive projects which require multiple steps, such as kitchen remodeling. Here is a partial list:

When this season was first established, the IDFG took a long, hard look at when snow geese were arriving in Idaho during spring to determine whether or not it would make sense to have a season. The framework for light goose hunting ends on March 10, so if snow geese arrived after March 10, there was no point in having a season. Light goose hunting in the Pacific Flyway, which includes Idaho, cannot occur after March 10. In the end, the IDFG decided not to open a season in most of eastern Idaho because geese typically did not start arriving until after March 10. If we notice that snow geese begin to arrive in eastern Idaho earlier in future years, this is something we may have to revisit.
