Recommend cruising boats
Greg--You ask the age old question!!! Yes, there are other boats that would qualify for your cruising plans in your price range...probably LOTS of other boats. If you have an affinity for the IP and Tayana boats, you might want to check out Hans Christians, Babas and Pandas. I have a predilection for those type of boats...my second cruising boat was a Hans Christian 36 and my current boat is a Baba 30. One note, however, is that these boats are brightwork-intensive. The 3 years I spent in the tropics on my 36 was partly torture because of what the sun did to the varnish, and I could never seem to keep up. Some buddies of mine who have a Tayana 37 painted their bulwarks (after laying down quite few coats of varnish first) and so far, so good.
By the way, one boat that I suggest you check out is the Freya 39. Check out John Kretschmer''s words about this boat at http://www.sailnet.com/collections/articles/index.cfm?articleid=jkrets0060 (toward the bottom of the page). By the way, he has good things to say about the Rafiki 37 (a boat I''m not familiar with).
Two places to check out possible candidates:
Sailnet''s Boat Check area has owner reviews on a whole bunch of boats, and most owners are reachable by email. So if you see a boat that intrigues you, you can see if there are reviews for that model.
John Neal''s list of boats he considers good offshore candidates is a good jumping off place, as long as you keep in mind that John is a deep blue water cruiser, and if you will be staying closer to land, your choices might be broader. His list is at http://www.mahina.com/cruise.html#boats4cruising.
Good luck!
Trish Lambert
Recommend cruising boats
We are looking for a used cruising boat about 37-40 ft with a wide beam. Ideally it would be capable of sailing in the Carribbean and perhaps beyond. So far we have liked the Island Packet 35, the Tayana 37 and perhaps a Morgan 38. Are their others that we should investigate? Our price range is about $75,000 - 125,00 max.

I'm (still) using OneTab to keep control of my tabs in Chrome. I wrote about it previously; it's an extension that suspends the processes of tabs you mark as inactive, so that they can be restored quickly. As a bonus, it's good at keeping things out of working memory, so you can have a system with "only" 2 gigabytes and still run Chrome without endless swapping.
The Internet, in its infinite wisdom, has a lot of things competing for our attention. The only problem is that it's easy to save a tab group but as hard as ever to really mark a tab as closed. I'm sure there's some stable working set that I should keep going, but it's also satisfying to decrease the n by closing tabs.
Previously: OneTab, a Chrome extension to reduce system memory usage.

|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Dexmedetomidine Group
Dexmedetomidine given as 2mcg/kg bolus over 10 minutes followed by 1.5mcg/kg/hr infusion for duration of scan. The bolus may be repeated up to 2 times at any time during the sedation in the event that adequate sedation conditions (minimum Ramsay Sedation Score of 4) are not achieved. In the event that dexmedetomidine is unable to achieve motionless conditions, after a total of 3 boluses, 0.5 mg/kg IV pentobarbital may be administered at q1 minute intervals up to a maximum of 2 mg/kg, per established protocol.
Drug: Dexmedetomidine
An initial bolus of 2 mcg/kg of dexmedetomidine will be administered over 10 minutes. This bolus can be repeated up to 2 times if sedation conditions are not achieved. Once successful sedation has been achieved, a 1.5 mcg/kg/hr infusion is initiated until the MRI is complete.
Other Name: Precedex
Active Comparator: Propofol Group
Propofol bolus at an initial dose of 1 mg/kg over 1 minute then up to two additional 1 mg/kg boluses may be administered (total 3 mg/kg) - each over a one (1) minute interval, waiting 30 seconds after completion of each bolus to reassess sedation level. Once a minimum Ramsey Sedation Score 4 is achieved, an infusion at 125 mcg/kg/min is initiated. It may be titrated to 300 mcg/kg/min. If there is movement or awakening the patient may be rebolused with no more than 2 doses of Propofol at 1 mg/kg over 1 minute, in the same dosing manner as described above, waiting 30 seconds between doses. If adequate sedation is not achieved, 0.5 mg/kg IV pentobarbital may be administered at q1 minute intervals up to a maximum of 2 mg/kg.
Drug: Propofol
An initial bolus of 1mg/kg of propofol will be administered over 1 minute. This bolus can be repeated up to 2 times if sedation conditions are not achieved. Once successful sedation has been achieved, a propofol infusion of 125 mcg/kg/min is initiated until the MRI is complete.
Other Name: Diprivan

This is a discussion on Ammo galore on Gunbot! within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I don't know if you all have looked today but holy cow I have never seen so much 9mm ! Maybe just maybe the times ...
I don't know if you all have looked today but holy cow I have never seen so much 9mm ! Maybe just maybe the times are changing ..Finally for some calibers I also am seeing a sharp decline on the local front of the Ammo Gougers ! Hey time to get a real Job !! Hope it was worth it .
I would rather die with good men than hide with cowards

O!, for a few 2000rd cases of that reloaded stuff I had back in the 1990's @ $120/case. It almost makes me cringe that I didn't pick up another half-dozen cases at the time. Ah, well. Can't have everything.

Looks like they are finally catching up some. Material prices have gone up too though so I guess we'll just have to see if they ever come back down to last November prices. The .22 LR is still expensive. Does anyone think it will get back to the $20 range?
The three most important components of stopping power are: bullet placement, bullet placement, bullet placement.

I've been monitoring Gunbot and I also am pleased that 9mm is headed in the right direction for both supply and price. Last year I was buying 9mm at 18 to 22 cents per round. I'd love to see it back there, but 30 cents is half of what it was going for two months ago
Bear in mind that .30 is for reloads. I did see some new stuff for .26 yesterday but it didn't last long. They have some new for .31 this morning in lots of 1000.

A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Spoke too soon. Aim surplus has some PPU 10mm for less than $19 a box + shipping
To keep things in perspective I was in Walmart just now and low and behold a Box of Federal 9mm 115Gr FMJ RN was just sitting there, along with some 40 and 45 :) The first time I have seen that in 6 months ! $ 13.97 + tax was $ 15.10 - So .30 cents a round is reasonable at this time for this location for 9mm Range stuff . Personally I don't care for Winchester WB if you can find it , that is a bit cheaper .
A month ago, 9mm under 35 cents a round only popped up a few times a week and was only in stock for about 3 min. It's definitely getting better, I got 250 rds of UMC Remington for 28cents/round yesterday. Still a ways to go, but getting better.

April 12, 2013
Site: Lincoln, Neb. (Nebraska Tennis Center)
Score: #24 Michigan 5, Nebraska 2
Records: U-M (12-7, 7-1 Big Ten), Nebraska (10-11, 2-6 Big Ten)
Next U-M Event: Sunday, April 14 -- at Iowa (Iowa City, Iowa), 11 a.m. CDT
LINCOLN, Neb. -- The No. 24-ranked University of Michigan men's tennis team ran its winning streak to five matches with a 5-2 victory at Nebraska on Friday night (April 12) at the Nebraska Tennis Center.
U-M won the doubles point for the second straight match, earning victories at the top two positions for the dual's first point. U-M's sophomore pairing of Alex Petrone (Staten Island, N.Y./Laurel Springs Prep) and Michael Zhu (Princeton, N.J./Keystone National) cruised to an 8-1 win over Bradford Zitsch and Dusty Boyer at No. 2, before senior Evan King (Chicago, Ill./Kaplan Prep) and Alex Buzzi (Key Biscayne, Fla./Gulliver Prep) secured the point for the Maize and Blue with an 8-5 decision over Andre Stenger and Eric Sock at the top of the lineup.
The Cornhuskers kicked off singles play with a victory at the No. 2 position, but the Wolverines responded with straight-set victories at the No. 1 and No. 5 spots to jump out to a 3-1 advantage.
King provided Michigan with its second point of the match with a 6-4, 6-2 triumph over Stenger at the No. 1 spot. With the win, King -- who comes in at No. 13 in the latest ITA singles rankings -- improved to 18-1 in dual-match competition. Shortly thereafter, Buzzi won his fifth singles match in a row, extending U-M's lead with a 6-2, 6-4 decision over Sebastian Florczyk.
Vlad Stefan (Bucharest, Romania) clinched the match for Michigan, rallying for a three set win over Tom Blackwell at No. 3. After dropping the first set, 3-6, Stefan found himself down 4-3 in the second set before winning three consecutive games -- including a break at 4-4 -- to force a deciding third set. Stefan and Blackwell held serve throughout the final set before Stefan broke Blackwell at 5-4 to secure the dual for the Maize and Blue with a 6-4 victory.
Redshirt sophomore Justin Rossi (Novi, Mich./Laurel Springs HS) claimed the final singles match off the court, putting together a late comeback to earn a 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3) victory at the No.6 singles position. Down 5-1 in the third, Rossi won five of the next six games to force a tiebreaker. With the breaker tied, 3-3, Dzulynsky was assessed a game penalty for an overruled call, which resulted in a loss of tiebreaker and therefore the match.
The Wolverines will wrap up their road trip on Sunday (April 14) against Iowa. The match is slated to begin at 11 a.m. CDT at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Complex in Iowa City, Iowa.
Following are match-by-match results:
No. 1 -- No. 13 Evan King (U-M) d. Andre Stenger (Nebraska), 6-4, 6-2
No. 2 -- Dusty Boyer (Nebraska) d. Alex Petrone (U-M), 6-0, 6-1

SAN DIEGO -- After batting practice, Raul Ibanez didn't think the ball would be carrying at Petco Park on Saturday night.
He was wrong.
Seattle and San Diego combined for a ballpark-record eight home runs, with Ibanez and Kenji Johjima hitting two solo shots apiece in the Mariners' 9-5 victory over the Padres.
"In fact the wind was blowing in and I didn't think things were going to fly," Ibanez said.
Jamie Moyer (5-6) allowed two runs and four hits in seven solid innings and had an RBI single, improving to 16-7 in interleague play.
Mike Piazza, Ben Johnson, Eric Young and Mike Cameron homered for the Padres.
Both of Johjima's homers, his seventh and eighth, came off Chan Ho Park (5-4) on first pitches and highlighted two-run innings in the fourth and fifth. Johjima added a two-run double in the ninth for a career high four RBI.
Ibanez homered off Park in the fifth, and added his 16th of the season off reliever Brian Sikorski in the seventh.
"I was missing location with my fast ball," Park said. "The base hit from the pitcher hurt me a little bit along with the three home runs. I threw two fast balls hit for home runs hit on the first pitch."
The 43-year-old Moyer's hit came in the fourth and gave the Mariners a 3-1 lead. It was a single to right that scored Jeremy Reed after Johjima hit his first homer earlier in the inning.
"Every squirrel finds a nut," Moyer said of his first hit and first RBI since June 18, 2004, at Pittsburgh.
The Mariners built their lead to 5-1 with two runs in the fifth with Ibanez hitting his 15th home run, a 412-foot shot into the Padres bullpen in center and Johjima following one out later with his second of the night into the left-field bleachers.
Four of Johjima's eight home runs have come against the Padres. It was the rookie's first multiple homer game.
Ibanez completed his fifth multihomer game with his 16th in the seventh to make it 6-2 after Johnson hit his homer in the bottom of the sixth.
Piazza gave the Padres a 1-0 lead in the second with his 10th home run, a 401-foot blast into the third deck of the Western Metals Supply Co. building in left.
"I guess it's a hitters ballpark," Moyer joked. "Solo (homers) are really killers the way I look at it. I didn't think I threw as well as I did the last outing (one run in eight innings against the Giants). But I got outs when I needed them."
Eddie Guardado, who came on to relieve Moyer in the eighth was greeted by back-to-back homers by pinch-hitter Young and Cameron to pull the Padres to 6-4.
Seattle added three runs in the ninth on Richie Sexson's RBI single and Johjima's double. Johjima finished with a career high four-for-five and four RBI.
"We made a lot of mistakes to him tonight," Padres manager Bruce Bochy said. "We threw quite a few balls right in his wheel house. Give him credit. He's not missing them."
However, Johjima suffered a bruised left quad when he took a batted ball just above his shin guard from the bat of Johnson. Johjima is listed as day-to-day.
The Padres had opened the bottom of the ninth with four straight singles off J.J. Putz, the last by Josh Barfield to make it 9-5. However, Putz then struck out Josh Bard, Mike Cameron and Johnson with the bases loaded to end the game.
Piazza has 407 career homers, tying him for 40th on the all-time list with Duke Snider. ... The previous record for most home runs in a game at Petco Park was seven done twice, once on July 2, 2004 against Kansas City (Royals 2, Padres 5) and May 4, 2005 vs. Colorado in 12 innings (Rockies 3, Padres 4). ... The last time a Mariners pitcher had a hit and an RBI in the same game was Gil Meche on June 24th last year against the Padres at Petco Park. Moyer's last hit was a two-run single on June 18, 2004 ... 1B Sexson went 1-for-5 and is 2-20 against the Padres this season. ... Moyer has pitched into the sixth inning in 15 of his 16 starts. ... Park is 0-2 with a 12.20 ERA in two games against the Mariners this year.

This year's fundraiser is set for Saturday, August 24 at the Currahee Campus of North Georgia Technical College and is scheduled to start at 6 p.m.
The August 24 date is a new one after it was originally postponed back in June.
Humane Shelter Board Secretary/Treasurer Angie Garland said organizers are looking forward to a wonderful evening.
"We are going to have dancing, a wonderful meal, a live and silent auction (with) a fun, secret auctioneer," said Garland. "I think everyone will be impressed. We need everyone to come out. All you have to do is call me. You can pay at the event. We just need to know you are coming."
Proceeds from the event benefit the shelter.
Garland said this is the organization's major fundraiser for the year.
"This is our annual big event and the shelter needs so much and we need the public's support," said Garland.
In addition, Garland said the event will serve as a chance for the public to meet the new shelter director, Jeff Roberts, who started earlier this month.
"I am so thrilled and the public is going to be thrilled with Jeff and his vision for the shelter," she said.
Roberts said he is also excited to be at the event.
"I am looking forward to meeting people in the community, letting them know the vision of the organization," said Roberts. "We rely on the support from the community. I am hoping we will have a great turnout."
Tickets are $45 per person.

Kate Gosselin to Star in a Dating Reality Show?
Though she's been out of the spotlight for awhile, Kate Gosselin is single and ready to mingle, on TV of course.
The 37-year-old reality mom has signed to do a dating show and is shopping for a network to pick it up, according to E! News.
A source tells E!, "She is ready to find love again and to move on from her past. She's excited, this is a chance to start something new."
It was way back in 2009 that Kate filed for divorce from then husband Jon Gosselin, turning "Jon & Kate Plus 8" into "Kate Plus 8," which only lasted two seasons before being cancelled.
The mother of sextuplets and twins has been preparing for her foray into the public dating world by doing some competitive running. On Sunday, the blonde beauty tweeted, "Chicago.... Are you ready? Who's running the @RunRocknRoll 'mini marathon' with me???? See you there!!! Ready to Rock! So excited!"
A report says the former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant came in 184th place in the race.

Male vs. Female Doberman Pinscher
Is One More Aggressive or Trainable?
During our years of breeding, the biggest question our Doberman puppy parents posed was whether to bring home a male or female. The consensus among these people was that a female would be easier to train and less likely to show aggression.
However, also during our years of breeding and our current training and handling of the Doberman Pinscher, we have not found this to be the case. If any difference with regard to aggression was observed, the female puppies, being smaller than the males, had to be a little more aggressive to keep from being pushed around by their larger litter mates.
Both male and female Dobermans are strong willed and highly trainable. A strong will is important in a dog because once it is properly trained the strong will turns into obedience. Besides being highly intelligent, the Doberman's voracious need to please his handler contribute to his high trainability - both male and female.
The main difference between the male and female Doberman is size. The male is much larger than the female, often by two or more inches of height and 20 to 30 pounds in weight. Much of this size is due to increased muscle mass in the male. Healthy male Dobermans are muscled like body builders while the females are more smooth and elegant.
Additionally, we have an opinion on a difference between male and female Dobermans based on the many Dobermans we have raised and worked with. We have found that the females are a bit needier of affection while males are more independent and a little goofier.

|John Julius LeMoyne (father)
Francis Julius LeMoyne (September 4, 1798 – October 14, 1879) was a 19th-century American medical doctor and philanthropist from Washington, Pennsylvania. Responsible for creating the first crematory in the United States, he was also an abolitionist, founder of Washington's first public library (known as Citizen's Library), co-founder of the Washington Female Seminary, and an instrumental benefactor to the LeMoyne Normal and Commercial School (now LeMoyne-Owen College), to which he made a $20,000 donation in 1870.[2] He graduated from Washington College (now Washington & Jefferson College) in 1815.[3]
Fearing that decomposing bodies in local cemeteries were contaminating the water supplies and making the citizens sick,[4] Dr. Lemoyne set out to build the first crematory in the United States. The crematory was finished in 1876 on his own land, perched atop a location known locally as Gallow's Hill. The first cremation took place on December 6, 1876. In 1901, after 41 more cremations were performed (with Dr. LeMoyne being the third), the crematory was closed.
Today, the structure can be found in the same location off of South Main Street.
Lemoyne House[edit]
The LeMoyne house, built by father John Julius LeMoyne in 1812, was a stop on the underground railroad. It was Pennsylvania's first of six National Historic Landmarks of the Underground Railroad to be registered.[5] It still stands today at 49 East Maiden Street, near the campus of Washington & Jefferson College, where it has been converted into a museum. The house also serves as the center of the Washington County Historical Society.[6]

Olmert Warns of Israel's End If Two-State Solution Isn't Found
Posted on Nov 29, 2007
If Israeli and Palestinian officials can't find a way to establish a Palestinian state, the state of Israel won't survive, according to Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. These words of warning came on the heels of Olmert's meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and President Bush in Annapolis, Md., during which the three leaders laid out plans and set goals for formal peace talks.

YET another compulsive LIAR at work here, "BEEN AROUND FOR thousands of years" IN YOUR IMANGINATION,
its never done you people any good.
BTW Israel does have more than 300 nukes and you people are dying to kill the neighbouring muslins so what's stopping you, you "chosen People" never shrunk from killing the palestinians why dont you proceed with the rest of your dream to annihilate the rest of the planet and find out what it actually means to do that.
ZIONISM is the way to DESTRUCTION OF JEWS, ALL SANE RABBIS AGREE TO THAT< ITS A SICKNESS OF POWER HUNGRY MINDS AND THE BRAINWASH BEING CARRIED ON FROM ONE GENERATION TO ANOTHER.

If Bush can convince Israel of the Holiness of Capitol Hill, Israel can have it. Hell, it's of no use to us.

I notice this phenomenon among commenters where some cherry pick comments and repeatedly quote them. It often skews the context in which they are written as seemingly intended by the offender. Is this what some of you have resorted to? An uneducated attempt to alter the authors words or intent?
Not to pick on you Non Credo, you are just the most prevalent offender on this thread. I find cyrena far more offending along with Ernesto and some others in your hate bash clique.
Try a little originality every now and then. Dazzle me with your brilliance; dont try to baffle me with your meaningless banter.

This is just another case of the WOLF bleating like a sheep trying to throw people off course by pleading innocence which the WORLD hardly believes at all any longer.
Another Angle to the whole situation is that if there was a meeting to improve my house and I was told specifically to stay away from the meeting I do not think that the results would be great, same is the case of straying away from HAMAS, it is only and only Israel's fault that HAMAS has WON, Had the Israelis ever been a little GENTLE or NICE or HUMANE maybe the Palestinains might never have Elected HAMAS BUT as usual Israelis believing in might is right managed to worsen the situations and by fixing this meeting through their American slave GWB sans HAMAS, the ELectyed power, they are making things worse for the next comming years and THAT IS WHAT I CALL PROGRESS.

Welcome to Israel
A political state by day, a religious state for tax purposes, an extradition-free refuge for its citizens who commit crimes elsewhere, but always, the exhausting, manipulating and misunderstood victim that demands to be treated as the exception and always at the expense of others. Nice legacy
By Rhonda, November 30, 2007 at 9:16 am Link to this comment
Here we go again with Olmert predicting the total destruction of Israel…..If he sees the 2 state solution as so very essential, why doesn´t he try harder rather than refuse to discuss any substantive issues? As occupier of Palestine why does he continue to oppress the people so terribly, when he is supposed to provide support? Why won´t he acknowledge the Arab League plan that has been offered for five years?
There is something wierd in the Israeli mental that continues to see Jews as victims. The real victims are the Palestinians, and I see that Olmert still wants their total and complete submission to Israel or annihilation. And this from the Jews persecuted so horribly in WWII?
By Jaded Prole, November 30, 2007 at 4:54 am Link to this comment
So, by "Israel" Olmert means an ethnically pure Jewish state. It seems his plan would be to assign an area that can be called Palestine in which all Palestinians (including those who are Israeli citizens at present) will have to live. If that is his intent, than it would be best if these talks collapse. A one state solution is far better that apartheid and a bantustan.
By 1drees, November 30, 2007 at 12:14 am Link to this comment
Its just another Typically Zionistic speech to the world by Olmert, I mean Zionist speeches to Zionists are way different they go like "we own America and Americans know it" and another went like "any representative that dares to oppose Israel will be run out of office and that will certainly be his last ever term in office",
By thomas billis, November 29, 2007 at 10:55 pm Link to this comment
What is Olmert trying to do?To make a statement like that gives anyone in the middle east who does not want Israel to succeed more incentive to kill the peace process.I do not think Annapolis has a chance in hell of succeeding but it looks like Olmert wants to guarantee that failure.

Petronilla (29 June[1]/11 August[2] 1136 – 15 October 1173), whose name is also spelled Petronila or Petronella (Aragonese Peyronela or Payronella,[3] and Catalan: Peronella), was the Queen of Aragon from the abdication of her father in 1137 until her own abdication in 1164. She was the daughter and successor of Ramiro II by his queen, Agnes. She was the last ruling member of the Jiménez dynasty in Aragon, and by marriage brought the throne to the House of Barcelona.
Petronilla came to the throne through special circumstances. Her father, Ramiro, was bishop of Barbastro-Roda when his brother, Alfonso I, died without an heir in 1134, and left the crown to the three religious military orders. His decision was not respected: the aristocracy of Navarre elected a king of their own, restoring their independence, and the nobility of Aragon raised Ramiro to the throne. As king, he received a papal dispensation to abdicate from his monastic vows in order to secure the succession to the throne. King Ramiro the Monk, as he is known, married Agnes of Aquitaine in 1135; their only child, Petronilla, was born the next year in Huesca. Her marriage was a very important matter of state. The nobility had rejected the proposition of Alfonso VII of Castile to arrange a marriage between Petronilla and his son Sancho and to educate her at his court. When she was just a little over one year old, Petronilla was betrothed in Barbastro on 11 August 1137 to Raymond Berengar IV, Count of Barcelona, who was twenty-three years her senior.[4] At El Castellar on 13 November, Ramiro abdicated, transferred authority to Ramon Berenguer and returned to monastic life.[4] Ramon Berenger de facto ruled the kingdom using the title of "Prince of the Aragonese" (princeps Aragonensis).
In August 1150, when Petronilla was fourteen, the betrothal was ratified at a wedding ceremony held in the city of Lleida.[5] Petronilla consummated her marriage to Ramon Berenguer in the early part of 1151, when she reached the age of 15. The marriage produced five children: Peter (1152–57), Raymond Berengar (1157–96), Peter (1158–81), Dulce (1160–98) and Sancho (1161–1223). While she was pregnant with the first, on 4 April 1152, she wrote up a will bequeathing her kingdom to her husband in case she did not survive childbirth.[6]
While her husband was away in Provence (1156–57), where he was regent (since 1144) for the young Count Raymond Berengar II, Petronilla remained in Barcelona. Accounting records show her moving between there and Vilamajor and Sant Celoni while presiding over the court in Raymond Berengar's absence.[7]
After her husband's death in 1162, Petronilla received the prosperous County of Besalú and the Vall de Ribes for life. Her eldest son was seven years old when, on 18 July 1164, Petronilla abdicated the throne of Aragon and passed it to him. When Raymond Berenguer inherited the throne from his mother, he changed his name to Alfonso out of deference to the Aragonese. The second son named Peter then changed his name to Raymond Berenguer.
Petronilla died in Barcelona in October 1173 and was buried at Barcelona Cathedral; her tomb has been lost. After her death, Besalú and Vall de Ribes reverted to the direct domain of the Count of Barcelona, her son Alfonso, who by 1174 had bestowed Besalú on his wife, Sancha.[8] In the Ribes, the local bailiff, Ramon, had carved out for himself "a virtually independent administrative authority" there. He had conducted an inventory for Petronilla after Raymond Berenguer's death, and his son and namesake was in power in 1198.[9]
Historical significance[edit]
In 1410, after the death of King Martin without living legitimate descendants, the House of Barcelona became extinct in the legitimate male line. Two years later, Fernando of Trastámara was enthroned per the Compromise of Caspe. Although Fernando triumphed mainly for political and military reasons, the theoretical basis of his candidacy was inheritance in the female line, for which Petronilla served as the precedent. He was the closest relative of the late king, but they were related through women. His chief opponent, Count James II of Urgell, was related to Martin more distantly, but in the male line. In Catalonia there were indications that women were forbidden to hold comital office, but in Aragon there was no legislation on the subject. In both places there were a few cases of women who had passed on their right to their sons, most importantly Petronilla.
There is a long debate whether Petronilla was the true ruler of Aragon. Some claim that Ramiro II gave the kingdom of Aragon to his son-in-law and that the presence of Petronilla was secondary. According to Jerónimo de Zurita, there was a clause in the pact with Ramon Berenguer stating that if Petronilla died, Aragon would pass to the children of Ramon Berenguer through a future second marriage. In any case, there is insufficient documentation to make a completely conclusive statement about the question and the Compromise of Caspe confirmed the legitimacy of female transmission.[10]

CANADA STOCKS-TSX may open higher, investors eye Italian elections
Feb 25 (Reuters) - Canadian stocks looked set to open higher on Monday, tracking global markets, helped by speculation that the United States and Japan will offer ultra easy monetary policy for some time, but uncertainty about the outcome of the closely-fought election in Italy could keep a lid on gains.
* Sales of BlackBerry's make-or-break line of smartphones are running faster than expected, and the company has increased production too keep up, its chief executive said in a newspaper.
* Suncor Energy Inc and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd : Shares of the two companies could gain more than 25 percent in the next year, helped by valuable asset bases that may attract activist investors, Barron's said in its Feb. 25 edition.
* Italians voted for a second and final day in a general election on Monday with a surge in protest votes increasing the risk of an unstable outcome that could undermine Europe's efforts to end its three-year debt crisis.
* Japan's prime minister is likely to nominate an advocate of aggressive monetary easing - Asian Development Bank President Haruhiko Kuroda - as the next central bank governor to step up his fight to finally rid the country of deflation.
* China Petroleum & Chemical Corp (Sinopec), Asia's largest oil refiner, will buy a 50 percent stake in Chesapeake Energy Corp's Mississippi Lime oil and gas properties in Oklahoma and Kansas for $1.02 billion, a Sinopec source said.

Three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson's son hasn't even played a varsity season in his young football career, but received his first two Division I scholarship offers on the same day this week.
Keyshawn Johnson Jr. announced offers from both Florida State and Arizona State on his Twitter account Thursday. He reportedly played for Mission Viejo (Calif.) High's freshman team this past fall.
Congrats to my son @keyshawnnnn on his first scholarship offer from Florida State! #Noles— Keyshawn Johnson (@Thromedamnball) March 20, 2014
Johnson's scholarship offers only reinforces how good Mission Viejo's varsity program was last season. The Diablos finished 11-1 after losing to perennial powerhouse Mater Dei in the sectional quarterfinals, and not even Keyshawn Sr. -- who served as an assistant on the staff -- could convince head coach Bob Johnson to keep his Division I-bound son on the varsity roster as a freshman.
Still, Keyshawn Jr. managed to turn heads at his father's Team 19 7-on-7 workout last month.
"Johnson's son by the same name is still young, but he already has really good size and very impressive hands," Rivals recruiting analyst Adam Gorney said. "The 2017 prospect from Mission Viejo has very nice hands just like his father and he made his mark during the workout. His speed isn't excellent yet, but he's also going against players much older than him so he will improve throughout the years."
The elder Johnson, who also contributes to ESPN's NFL coverage, was an All-American at USC.

"I grew up in Fairmont, MN where I found my passion for the industry working for a local nursery when I was 10 throughout high school. I took 3 years off to serve my country in the United States Navy. After returning I went to college at Anoka Community College for Horticulture and Dakota Community College for Business. After College I found my home in Rochester where I worked for local landscaping companies and met my wife. In 1986 we opened our first Landscape Nursery and when our children went off to college we sold it. Not long did we find that the Landscaping industry was all of our passions and we opened Family Tree Landscape Nursery. I have been doing estimates locally for 20 years and counting."
"I was born and raised here in Rochester where I started working in the industry at the age of 16. After graduating Mayo High School I went to college at Rochester Technical College for horticulture and went to University of Minnesota, Waseca for landscape design. I met my husband while working at a local business here in Rochester. We got married started a family and opened our own Landscaping Nursery. Family Tree Landscape Nursery is truly a family business."
"I have been working in the family business for as long as I can remember. My passion for the industry started at a young age. After graduating from Century High School I went to Minnesota State University, Mankato for 2 years where I took business classes. After the two years at Mankato I went to Rochester Community and Technical College for Horticulture. I was active in the Horticulture club and graduated with honors. I am Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association certified. I am the garden center manager."
"I have been working in the family business for as long as I could hold a hose and water the green houses. When I graduated Century High School I went to Winona Technical College where I studied Retail Sales/Management. After Winona I went to Rochester Community and Technical College for Horticulture: Landscape Design/Golf Course Management and Floral Design/Green House Management. I was active in the Horticulture club. Like my parents I also met my soon to be wife, Danielle in the industry. I have been installing landscapes since I was 16 years old. I specialize in concrete edging."
"I grew up in Wells, MN and went to college at University of Wisconsin, River Falls for Landscape Design. While there I was active on the floral judging team. After River Falls I went to Rochester Community and Technical College for Landscape Design/Golf Course Management and Floral Design/Green House Management. I was active in the horticulture club as well. At RCTC is where I met Travis and plan to marry him in September. At Family Tree Landscape Nursery I install and am the landscape designer."

The Kerrville Folk Festival kicks off this week. That means a few out-of-town acts stop by the big city before heading "home." Among them you'll find Santa Fe's Bill Hearne, who started out in Austin in the late Sixties. Always an interpreter, never a writer, his recent disc A Good Ride features his dulcet tenor rendering Gordon Lightfoot, Hoyt Axton, and Delbert McClinton with sometimes colorful, other times pensive results. In person, he's as pure as today's Americana can be allowed. – Jim Caligiuri

Utterly despicable and cowardly if true. And these are the folks the anti-gunners want everybody to put their safety in the hands of?
NYC Subway Hero Says Police Initially Left Him to Fend for Himself Against Killer - FoxNews.com
New evidence shows two police officers who were aboard the subway car where the attack occurred locked themselves into the safe confines of the conductor's cabin because they thought the suspect, Maxsim Gelman, was reaching for a gun as he approached Joseph Lozito, Edmond Chakmakian, Lozito's attorney, said.
...a grand jury member told Lozito that jurors were appalled when they heard a police officer's version of the story...
"The juror said cops locked themselves inside because they thought Gelman was going to pull out a gun," Chakmakian said. "What were the police officers waiting for, an engraved invitation?"

Each fall, the organizers of this unique event invite some of the worlds top skippers to compete on Virgin Gordas North Sound sailing aboard the BEYCs fleet of Freedom 30s. Along with Cayard and Coutts, the so-called junior roster includes JJ Isler, Peter Isler, and Peter Holmberg. Joining Musto and North in the Masters division are Rod Johnstone, Butch Ulmer, and Tom Leweck.
According to event organizer John Glynn, "The theory is that our guests get to crew for whomever they want. Its the Walter Mitty experience of sailingthe average Joe Sailor gets to rub shoulders and go sailing with the best sailors on the planet."
Now in its 14th year, not only does the event introduce BEYC guests to some of sailings finest talents, it also gives them what is likely their first taste of Triple Racing. Under this novel formatcreated by legendary racer Paul Elvstromthree boats go head to head around a short course with only the winning boat scoring a point. "We think it combines the best aspects of fleet racing, match racing, and team racing," said Glynn. "Imagine a start with Peter Holmberg, Russell Coutts, and Paul Cayard, thats going to be cutthroat. Glynn explained that the organizers use a rabbit start instead of a countdown start and windward gates as well as leeward gates. "It makes for a much better event for spectators," he continues, adding that they even spice it up with on-the-water color commentary by Ken Legler from on board a spectator boat alongside the racecourse.
This year the event will offer a new twist: after the winners are determined in the respective divisions, each "Junior Sailor" will pair up with and crew for a Master skipper in the Team Trophy competition. "We used a random draw," said Glynn, "but somehow we managed to pair Paul Cayard with Lowell North [who sailed Star boats together years ago], Russell Coutts with Tom Leweck, Peter Holmberg with Rod Johnstone, Peter Isler with Keith Musto, and JJ Isler crewing for Butch Ulmer. As a special treat, 2000 Olympic gold medalist in the LaserBen Ainslie of Great Britainwill also be on hand to rotate through the boats as crew.
Want to share the fun? Log on to SailNet each day this week for updates of the activity, along with photos of the racing. Action at the SailNet Pro Am Regatta at the BEYC starts today (Tuesday, November 7) and culminates on Friday with the Team Trophy.

Another high-end innovation that helps explain the £8k price is a newly developed phosphor material process technology, which joins forces with a new optical filter system to produce a much wider colour gamut than usual. So much so, in fact, that the 65VX1000E's colour range is claimed to be pretty much as extensive as that found in the professional digital cinema world.
Then there's the screen's use of extremely powerful 18-bit signal processing, designed to deliver a huge 7,160 steps of light-to-dark gradations and, we'd presume, immaculately smooth, stripe-free colour blends.
Another intriguing, humble and yet sensible touch for a screen aimed at as high an end of the market as the 65VX100E is the option to turn off its internal video processing. This enables you to enjoy, more purely, the benefits of an external video processor such as, say, the DVDO iScan VP50Pro we reviewed a few weeks back.
Finally, the 65VX100E sports a really extreme amount of image fine-tuning options - including a decently sophisticated colour management system - tucked away within the surprisingly straightforward on-screen menus. These adjustments should be easily numerous enough, I would have thought, to satisfy all but the most extreme and anal of custom installation tweakers.
So far, the 65VX100E has done enough to at least start to turn me around on its price. But it's still definitely time for the fine specification talk to end and the business of wowing me with its pictures to begin.
At which point I might as well lay my cards straight on the table and say that I am writing this review from a position of already being officially wowed. With knobs on. And that's saying something considering that I'm looking at it immediately after also suffering wowage at the hands of JVC's sensational DLA-HD350 projector a couple of days ago.
Seriously, there's simply nothing about the picture quality produced from the 65VX100E that's anything less than stunning - and in some areas, it's truly groundbreaking.
This latter description certainly applies to the TV's colour response. For I really have not seen a more realistic colour palette on a TV before. The subtlety with which the 65VX100E portrays even the finest of colour blends is unprecedented, for instance, having a particularly profound impact on skin tones so that they look so real you feel you could reach out and stroke them - were you so inclined…
Also nothing short of mesmerising is the exquisite amount of fine detail in the picture. Inevitably for its money the 65VX100E is a Full HD screen, so I'd kind of expected its 65in size to reveal every last detail in any HD picture I cared to throw at it. But I wasn't prepared for how completely free of video noise its pictures were, a fact which takes the impression of clarity to a level I've honestly not experienced before on a flat TV.
This huge TV really, really loves the smaller things in AV life, and it's this more than any other single factor which makes it stand out from the mainstream hordes.
How does this compare to the Pioneer Kuro KRP-600?
That's a good question 'mobies'. This Panasonic is 5" larger to start with but I'm sure it'll be a difficult comparison to make. This is a reference monitor but whether its black levels are the same or better than the Kuro's is up for debate.
Yep I would also like to read a comparrison with the Pioneer model.
Well, having a look at the far more technical review over at the AV Forums - http://www.avforums.com/rev... - reveals that the Panasonic behemoth doesn't have a colour management system ;-( So, if it was my money I'd still go with the Pioneer Kuro.

February 19 marked Michael Krueger's 22nd birthday, but instead of a celebration, Krueger's family is busy trying to determine the Lee's Summit man's whereabouts after not being seen or heard from since Feb. 15.
Dave Krueger, Michael's father, said the family has not seen the former Lee's Summit North High School student since watching him perform with his rock band SOLUS Feb. 14 at the Aftershock Rock Club in Merriam, Kan. After performing, Michael Krueger and a band mate spent the night at a community center in downtown Kansas City where the band often practices.
Early the next morning, Dave Krueger, a teacher in the Blue Springs School District, said he received a text from his son saying he was driving home; however, Michael never made it. Dave Krueger later filed a missing person's report with the Lee's Summit Police Department Feb. 16.
"We're hanging in there," Dave Krueger said in a phone interview Feb. 19 with the Journal. "There are highs and lows. This is the fifth day. (Law enforcement officials) haven't heard anything. I'm trusting that they will do what they do, but at the same time I'm trying to get the word out."
Michael Krueger is a 22-year-old white male, 5 feet, 10 inches tall and 150 pounds with blue eyes and brown hair.
According to the Lee's Summit Police Department, Krueger was last seen Feb. 15 driving a white, four-door Honda CRV bearing Missouri license DD9-U9N. The vehicle has two stickers in the back window; one has the word "Solus" on it and the other says, "Support Local Music."
"The whole Kansas City music community has (helped spread the word)," Krueger said. "It's a pretty tight-knit group. It's a big group, but it's a pretty tight-knit group and they have also helped spread the word."
Krueger said the family and his son's band mates have taken to social media to help spread the word about Michael's disappearance. The purpose is to get as many people as possible to recognize a picture of Michael or of the vehicle in which he was driving.
"I put something out on Twitter yesterday and it's already been retweeted like 300 times," Krueger said. "On Facebook, I put it out there and it's already been shared hundreds of times – and that's just from mine. Instagram has had lots of sharing. We are at least just trying to get his picture out there."
If you have any information on Michael Krueger's whereabouts, you are asked to call the LSPD TIPS Hotline at 816-969-1752.

Edit: Unfortunately on the forums you can't post links with javascript as their href. So simply make a new bookmark with whatever name you want and use this as the address.
javascript:(function(){ location.href = '?html5=true'; })();

Anyway, not bad, just … expect something more advance/smart in terms of usability.Side topic, any mbp users experience noise fan when watching HD video?
Flash uses more hardware resources than html5 video. You might reduce the heat (and therefore fan speed and noise) by always using the html5 video of youtube videos when possible. Just opt in here https://www.youtube.com/html5
I love to use the light-weight version of youtube. Loads fast & decreases distractions (fewer video recommendations on the right) https://www.youtube.com/feather_beta

@revaxarts Maybe there is a solution to make the script update itself or at least make it notify me that there is a new version to download. Maybe this tread could help. Thanks.
Auto update would be a nice feature but because I have to use GM syntax because of the same origin policy it will not work on all browser I try to support (especially Opera )Maybe I find a solution which works on all browsers…
Aight. Thank you very much!
Maybe there is a solution to make the script update itself or at least make it notify me that there is a new version to download. Maybe this tread could help. Thanks.
- "edit item description"
- "edit profile page"
Cool. Definetely useful.
Maybe this is too difficult or not needed but a "Preview this post" button/function would be awesome.
Anyway, thanks for this extension!! Really appreciate it!
Is it that every item on VH that we see will have and have to have a smaller preview video soon? Or is it just a "feature" for authors to make their products be more attractive to buyers?
(So only authors who are willing to put the extra effort in their products will get the extra benefit of probably increasing sales?! I mean, it isn't that unfair to say that "we reap what we sow".) Or how did you lay out this new function in the beginning?
Maybe interesting or useful:

Eastern Michigan University
University Advising and Career Development Center
Why can't I register?
- You were admitted or re-enrolled for a term, but did not register and need to update your admission.
- You have been academically dismissed and need to be readmitted.
- You are trying to register before your appointment time.
- You have an academic or financial hold.
- You are a new undergraduate or second bachelor's student and have not contacted the University Advising & Career Development Center
- All new students need to meet with an Academic Advisor in their program of study prior to registering for their first semester at EMU. To determine which advising office to contact, see here.
- You have not registered for eight or more consecutive terms and need to re-enroll.
How do I determine my class level?
Exactly when you become a sophomore, junior, etc. can be confusing but can be important to know when determining registration and course opportunities. Credits are determined by the units of work completed. One credit hour is the credit granted in a course that meets 50 minutes per week for 15 weeks. Credits earned on the term or quarter-hours basis at other institutions are converted to EMU credit hours by multiplying by two-thirds.
Class levels are determined by the academic hours completed as follows:
Class Semester Hours Freshman 0-24 Sophomore 25-55 Junior 56-84 Senior 85 or over

Labour has deliberately toned down its attacks on bookmakers in a bid to build cross-party support ahead of Wednesday's opposition-day vote to curb the spread of high-stakes roulette machines from betting shops, which campaigners say cause crime and lead to addiction.
Echoing a resolution that was passed by the Liberal Democrats in their party conference last year, Labour will ask MPs to back a motion that would "give local authorities the powers they need to respond to concerns from their local communities and stop the proliferation of fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) and betting shops".
However, senior Tories and Lib Dems said that while they were sympathetic to Labour's case, the government would wait for a key report – supposed to be laid before parliament early this year – into the machines before taking action.
Ed Miliband has warned that FOBTs – where punters can bet up to £300 a minute – are already "spreading like an epidemic". In the space of a decade high-speed, high-stake machines have spread throughout the country and there are now more than 33,000 in the UK, yielding bookmakers more than £1.5bn. A number of councils, of varying political complexions, have passed motions to ban bookies from the high street.
Labour will seek to build bridges with MPs from all sides of the house by retreating from tougher language used by Miliband last month. John Whittingdale, the Tory chair of the culture, media and sport committee, said that while he would not be supporting Labour for the moment – he does "have some sympathy that local authorities should be given the ability to determine whether or not large number of bookmakers should be opening. Some of my Conservative colleagues share that view."
Tom Watson, the former Labour chair who has led the parliamentary campaign against FOBTs, said that the motion had been inspired by the Lib Dems. He pointed out that the machines were already disrupting community life, noting that there were concerns that they were being used for money laundering and that police were called out on average 165 times a week to bookmakers in 2012-2013.
"I hope the sensitive wording of the resolution will be enough to get that section of the coalition to back the resolution," Watson told the Guardian.
Charles Kennedy, the former Lib Dem Leader, told the BBC's Daily Politics that although he "was in sympathy with [Labour's] argument", his party was committed to waiting for the conclusion of research – commissioned by a charitable trust, funded by bookmakers – into the effects of FOBTs before taking action.
However, a precursor to that work warned that researchers had found the initial results to be "data rich, information light" and this "provides insight only into a very narrow range of issues – namely those of financial transactions" rather than that of how players can get addicted.

Sen. Bob Corker co-authored an opinion piece in today's Wall Street Journal, criticizing President Barack Obama's approach to addressing the proliferation of nuclear weapons across the globe.
The article, titled "'Nuclear Zero' offers nothing worth having," was written with Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.). It argues that although Obama's assessment of nuclear proliferation is a threat to national security, it is misguided in its suggestion that the U.S. nuclear arsenal be gradually dismantled.
"Nothing demonstrates the hollowness of the disarmament dream as clearly as the international community's inability to keep regimes such as North Korea—and soon Iran—from acquiring nuclear weapons," it reads. "The recent North Korean nuclear test clearly and dangerously demonstrated how little regard rouge states hold for a nuclear-armed U.S. Why would they be more intimidated, much less moved to disarm themselves, by an America that was whittling away its own nuclear superiority?"
It also argues that reducing the nation's nuclear cache may add to the global instability it seeks to avoid.
In 2010, Corker was one of only 13 Republican senators to support the New START Nuclear Arms treaty with Russia, which at the time he said he approved after concerns were addressed.
To read today's op-ed by Corker and Inhofe, click here.
On Monday, Corker's office issued a statement announcing his support of a resolution to condemn recent nuclear and missile tests by North Korea. The resolution calls for new sanctions on the dictatorship and suggests additional steps must be taken by the international community to prevent the country from acquiring further nuclear technology.

Siding Estimating???
Here's my situation. I have an area that shaped like a "TRIANGLE" that are 24ft. wide by 10ft High. I wanted to find out HOW MUCH it will cost to cedar side it. Asssume that the cost was .60 cents per/ft for a 1/2"x4" bevel cedar siding.
Any idea how I can calculate how many boards and how much will it cost me? Please show me the formula how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
24 x 10 x .5 is your area. (120 SF)
I'd figure you'd need about a 15% waste factor, but I'm no expert.
Figure 140 SF worth of material. How much coverage do you get with the material?
Here's a simple drawing of what I'm looking at doing.
Here's what I figured out...
480/2=240 sq.ft
1440 sq.ft x .60=$864???
I gave you the area in my last post, where do you get 480 from?
Explain your formula a little better if you would.
well, I used formula A+B=C??
Here's my second attempt?????
(24ft x 10ft)=240 sq/ft.
Since the width of the wall is 24ft. wide and it cost .60 cents per/ft. I take 24ft. x .60 cents = $14.40.
Since I have a 10ft. High wall. I need to convert 10ft. into "INCHES" [120"] to determine how many boards I need? 120/4 = 30 baords.
To find out the total cost I take $14.40 x 30= $432????
Is this even correct?
Try it this way. You have 120 SF of area. Call it 140 SF with a healthy waste factor (15%).
Your boards will probably need a 1" lap. This means you basically cover 3" with each row of boards. (1" of each board is "wasted" or hidden", so we pretend that each board is actually 3" high. comprende?)
Instead of trying to figure a triangle, change it to a rectangle or square.
14' wide x 10' high would be 140 SF.
10' = 120"
120" / 3 = 40 rows of siding 14' long to cover your area.
40 rows x 14' = 560 lineal feet of siding.
560 x 0.60 = $336
Or convert your lf cost of .6 to a sf cost. 3" of cover so it'll take 4' to cover a sf..
.6 x 4 = $2.40 / sf
2.40 x 140sf = $336
Just another method of what Kevin K did.

Why? Because shopping with your kid goes like this.
Our first stop yesterday was Joanns. Coop was good to start. Hanging in the cart, reading a book on how to perfect cupcakes. I was picking out some fabric and doing some major debating on exposed zippers. As I'm waiting in line at the fabric cutting counter, Coop let's out a scream.
Like ridiculously loud. Red face and clinched fist loud. I was mortified.
He is usually good in the store...not today. I leaned down to ask him why he was screaming and he did it again. This time I put my hand on his mouth to muffle the noise because yes, it was THAT loud. Everyone was looking at me.
I refused to leave because I was next in line! I gave Coop some stern talking to and threatened not to give him his candy cane once we got in the car. Okay quiet. Got to the checkout. He screamed again. Threw his jacket on the ground. I was deathly pale and sweaty.
What the frick are you supposed to do in these situations?
In the car, I told him how sad he made me and how unacceptable his behavior was. He cried and said "sorry, mommy". Fine. We'll try again.
Next up, Trader Joes. He loves this store because they have the little carts. He got his cart and said, "I don't need help, Mom." Fine. I was still annoyed and didn't want to do anything to make him scream again. He went up and down the aisles saying "ooh, lets try this" and putting it in his cart. Haha, just like mommy. I only needed one thing, (cough, cough...almond champagne) so we were out pretty quick.
On to Target. I told him I had to look in the clothing department first and told him he has to be good or else we wouldn't look at toys. I went into the dressing room. As I'm trying on pants, he starts singing...LOUDLY. "Oh, baby I'm a rock star" was blaring out of our room. He seemed to put just the "oh, baby" on repeat for what seemed like forever. Once we came out, of course the attendants were laughing and talking to him.
We managed to escape with one ripped open package of animal crackers and loads of sweat and embarrassment.
Because this little man can sure give me a run for my money.

That is all fine and dandy, but why does the model show up on Vodafone's system? Speculation is that this is now the BlackBerry Magnum/Dakota which is supposedly a touchscreen version of the Bold 9780.
Considering the lukewarm (at best) reception for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 which has just had its price cut to $100 as we reported, perhaps RIM's best bet is to focus on those devices that require a touchpad, and leave the finger-centric touchscreen models to others.
