Good article, thanks. Looks like the book from which it is excerpted will be a good read as well...
It could be worse!
I suppose
Lengthy but a good read. Thanks for posting.

"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again."
Nearly all so-called "gun control" laws in the United States have come about as a result of efforts to deny arms to minorities (slaves, then freedmen). Permits to carry, licensing schemes, registration schemes, these all have deep roots in pre-Civil War history. Following the Civil War in many parts of the country (the deep South undeniably, but also in many states of the industrialized North) there were many, many local and state laws passed in attempts to prevent blacks (and other minorities) from arming themselves in self defense, nearly always promoted as public safety measures.
Passage of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution (essentially extending civil liberties under the Bill of Rights to all states) was done in large measure as a means of assuring that black citizens were not deprived the right to keep and bear arms (see period commentaries as well as the Congressional Record of the times).
"Gun control" has always been about "people control", and it has always been about one group of people demanding control over the lives of other people. The cast of characters has changed but the overriding imperatives have not. There will always be those who are convinced that they are intellectually and morally superior to the common man, and there will always be those who believe that they should control the lives of others (for their own good, of course). There is little difference in the outcomes when comparing ruthless dictators ruling solely in their own interest and idealistic utopians set upon perfecting humanity on earth; the results will always be tyranny and destitution, as well as a permanent underclass.

Seven West Media commercial director Bruce McWilliam sent a scathing email to Attorney-General George Brandis asking him to ''do your job'' and hold federal police accountable for a dramatic raid of the network.
The AFP exercised search warrants on the broadcaster's Sydney offices last week due to speculation Seven had paid convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby up to $2 million for an interview, which could put her in breach of the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Evidence of a deal with Corby has not been found and the AFP was forced to apologise on Friday for stating a Seven legal representative, Justine Munsie, had been ''reasonably suspected'' of committing an offence.
The AFP said it was a ''word processing error''.
Mr McWilliam, a former partner at law firm Allen Allen & Hemsley, said the raid was unnecessary, given Seven had complied with a production order asking for documents in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act, in an email also sent to several other high-level federal ministers.
''As a lawyer will you please do your job and demand some accountability from the AFP who should have simply asked for the documents referred to in the search warrant, given full compliance with the production requests, rather than wasting public resources on a 'raid' on a television network,'' Mr McWilliam said to Senator Brandis in the email. ''We have people here swearing affidavits that criminal offences have been committed. Convincing magistrates to sign search warrants (and court orders) against a public company and its reputable lawyers. Where does this stop?''
The email came after a remarkable week where Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull was revealed to have spoken with Mr McWilliam moments after the raid, Seven chairman Kerry Stokes threatened to resign from the Australian War Memorial Council, and Seven chief executive Tim Worner sent a letter to the AFP asking why the raid had occurred. Mr McWilliam said it was time for Senator Brandis to take action.
Mr McWilliam said Seven would take the matter to the Federal Court seeking a review of the reasons for the search warrant.
''Since the AFP said that neither our solicitor nor Seven is suspected of a criminal offence and since they also said Seven was co-operating with the production orders, what was the actual reason that justified the AFP saying it needed a search warrant?'' he said.
''We accept their offer to have the record corrected before the magistrate who issued the search warrant. We are seeking the real grounds.''

The technology rumour mill often has a nasty habit of putting 2+2 together and getting 4 and sadly that isn't exactly how the industry works.
That said, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster is putting his head on the block this week after conducting his own research into US iPhone availability. Speaking with Fortune magazine, Jaffray said he spoke with 20 Apple stores across the US and found not a single iPhone in stock. Zip.
In fact, even online, Apple is quoting a five to seven day wait for its uber-handset - something which seems extreme given the plentiful supply at all other times, including launch. Naturally enough, Jaffray then called on his industry contacts (and no doubt read recent reports) and concluded that US inventory is being cleared out to make way for a 3G version in May or June (I'll be June!).
Now fair dues to Jaffray, he's done his research but I suspect Apple will offer both EDGE and 3G editions of its handset - at least initially - so there shouldn't be such need to scale back availability to this extent. Instead I suggest Apple is merely supplying partners around the world first (AT&T, O2, T-Mobile, Orange, etc) to hit targets, though some cut backs with the inevitable upgrade on the way won't hurt it at all. Stay calm people, stay calm.
In related news, both research sites ChangeWave and iSuppli Corp have given Apple's handset the big thumbs up. The former has discovered that user polls indicate 79 per cent of all iPhone users are happy with their expensive purchase compared to just 54 per cent with runner up BlackBerry. LG and Sanyo came joint third on 40 per cent with Nokia (37 per cent), Samsung and Sony Ericsson (33 per cent), Motorola (32 per cent) and Palm (22 per cent) rounding off results.
As for iSuppli, it learnt that iPhone owners spend just 46.5 per cent of their time talking compared to an industry average of 71.7 per cent on rival models. Internet access, iPod use and emailing also scored at 12.1 per cent, 11.9 per cent and 10.4 per cent verses just 2.4 per cent, 2.5 per cent and 2.8 per cent respectively from rival models.
That's some pretty impressive convergence Apple, take a well deserved pat on the back. Now get that 3G model out!

Danaus erippus
|Southern monarch
|Male, La Plata, Buenos Aires province, Argentina
|Scientific classification
|D. erippus
|Binomial name
|Danaus erippus
(Cramer, [1775])
Danaus erippus, the southern monarch, is a milkweed butterfly (subfamily Danainae) in the family Nymphalidae. It is one of the best known butterflies in South America. Its genome is nearly identical to D. plexippus, but the two are incompatible, and therefore considered separate species.[1]
Danaus erippus is included with other Nymphalidae, the largest family of butterflies with about 6000 species distributed throughout most of the world. It has a reduced pair of forelegs, is brightly coloured, and is included with popular species such as the emperors, admirals, tortoiseshells, and fritillaries. Its wingspan reaches about 110 millimetres (4.3 in), with an easily recognizable orange and black pattern. Until 2007, this butterfly was treated as a subspecies of Danaus plexippus. These species are very similar, but D. erippus usually has an orange trailing edge of the forewings, while in D. plexippus it is black. The lineages of the two species are thought to have separated about 2 million years ago.[2] The colour of the wings in males of the southern monarch is paler than in the females.
Though, not as well known as the eastern North American monarch migratory phenomenon, it has been observed to move in a consistent spring/autumn manner by flying south in the autumn towards colder latitudes for the winter.[3][4] Massive overwintering roosts have not yet been found.
Larval food plants[edit]
D. erippus differs from D. plexippus in that it utilizes host plants that are not in the genus Asclepias including: Astephanus geminiflorus, Cynanchum boerhaviifolium, Cynanchum atacamense, and Tweedia birostrata. There are only 12 Asclepias species in South America: A. barjoniifolia, A. boliviensis, A. mellodora, A. candida, A. "flava", and A. pilgeriana. Larvae do feed on the introduced A. curassavica.[3]
This species can be found in tropical and subtropical latitudes of South America, mainly in Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and southern Peru.

Thick cuticular exudates on the surface of adult females of the sugar beet cyst nematode, Heterodera schachtii Schmidt, 1871, were named "subcrystalline layer" by Schmidt (1871, 1872). The layer was thought to be a byproduct that was produced by an outside organism such as a fungus (Brown et al. 1971). This concept has been altered because exudates are produced on the cuticle of the same species feeding on host plants grown under monoxenic culture conditions (Zunke 1985). Recent ultrastructural studies of second- (J2) and third-stage juveniles (J3) of H. schachtii support the concepts that the exudate is produced by the nematode alone and that the cuticle is a relatively porous structure providing continuity between secretory granules in the hypodermis and fibrillar exudates on the cuticle surface (Endo and Wyss 1992).
This study was initiated to elucidate formation of cuticle exudations in the soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines, and to compare the results to those obtained for H. schachtii.
Fibrillar exudates were formed on the cuticle surface of parasitic H. glycines second-stage juveniles during feeding on soybean roots. The accumulation of cuticular exudates was correlated with the fibrillar and porous nature of the epicuticle, exocuticle, and endocuticle. The apparent source of the exudates was the hypodermis, where coalesced secretory vesicles were assembled by Golgi bodies and transferred to the inner surface of the apical membrane of the hypodermis. Products of the secretory vesicles were apparently released into a secretion accumulation zone at the base of the endocuticle by some mechanism and then extruded through and onto the cuticle surface.
Golgi bodies occurred in large expanded regions of the hypodermis, especially in the hypodermal cords where prominent nuclei and other cellular components were located. During ecdysis of the J2 cuticle and early stages of third-stage-juvenile cuticle formation, fine reticulate material accumulated at the secretory-excretory pore. Concurrently, moderately electron-opaque material occurred in the invaginated cephalic region and in the space extending between the molted J2 cuticle and the entire J3 body.
The transition from J2 to J3 of the soybean cyst nematode is accompanied by fundamental changes in the accumulation of electron-opaque material in the invaginated anterior region of the developing J3 (Endo 1985). During molt, the boundary of the electron-opaque zone merges with the widening zone between the J2 cuticle and the J3 body, which is bounded initially by the membranes of the hypodermal cells. Investigations are needed to determine the relationship between the reticulate material formed near the secretory-excretory terminus and the accumulated electron-opaque material within the invaginated anterior of a developing J3.
Ultrastructure of the cuticular exudates and related cuticular changes in juveniles of the soybean cyst nematode are shown in figures 156157, figures 158-160, figures 161-163, figures 164-165, figures 166-167, figures 168-171, figures 172-175, and figures 176-178.

Principles of Tidal Sedimentology

Tidal inlets are highly dynamic systems marking positions along barrier coasts where dominant wave and longshore sand transport processes are juxtaposed with a tide-dominated regime in which onshore-offshore sand movement is manifested in the formation of flood- and ebb- tidal deltas. The morphodynamics of tidal inlets and distribution of their associated sand shoals are governed by the tidal prism, wave versus tidal energy, and the regional geological framework. Sand that is delivered to the inlet channel via longshore transport can be sequestered in the backbarrier, moved onto the ebb-tidal delta, or can bypass the inlet. Such bypassing is accomplished through wave and tidal processes and ultimately results in the landward migration and welding of large sand bar complexes to the downdrift shoreline. Tidal inlet-fill deposits typically exhibit a sharp basal contact with underlying units and consist of a fining-upward sequence in contrast to the generally coarsening-upward barrier lithosome. The preservation potential of inlet and associated tidal-delta deposits is high in regressive sequences, but relatively poor in transgressive systems due to the shallow nature of inlet-fill deposits compared to the base of the erosional wave- or tidal- ravinement surfaces. Exceptions occur in paleotidal inlet regions having large bay tidal prisms and deep inlet channels. Although tidal-inlet deposits have been reported in the rock record and may serve as important petroleum reservoirs, to date they are not readily recognized. High-resolution geophysical and sedimentological research of both active and relict inlets is providing a wealth of information necessary to improve the inlet facies models for ancient sedimentary sequences.

As you probably realise not all the matches are full matches. I don't have much time to write a full match, so from now on I'll just write the last 10 lines or something...
10 lines is better than no match :P

Just some growing pains, they will get it under control....
This is a discussion on wisconsin DOJ not meeting the deadline for applications submitted,read all about it. within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Concealed carry: Wisconsin Dept. of Justice not meeting concealed carry deadlines - WITI...
Just some growing pains, they will get it under control....
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
When you go from no permits allowed to anyone legal can have one, your going to get swamped. Just wait until Illinois comes around, you want to see a flood.

Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid... Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
All the extra days off from the holidays won't help the process, in my area Dec. 26th and today, the 2nd, have been "holidays" to most local governments...might be the same out there. Definitely annoying...
Almost 65,000 applications in less than 2 months, and over half that number issued. When you throw in 2 holidays during that period, I think they're doing OK. Every new program is going to have growing pains.As of Dec. 28, DOJ had received 64,832 applications, issued 36,373 permits

While the difficulty in meeting the timeline is understandable given the sheer volume of applications, it is noteworthy that the state earmarked only $236k to hire extra employees to process permits which have already generated $3.2 million in processing fees. Of the extra employees authorized, only half were hired. In the meantime, current employees are working OT in an effort to get the job done.
The state dug its own hole by refusing to accept and process applications prior to Nov 1. I recall that when Iowa went shall-issue, thousands of applications were submitted before the law became effective, giving Iowa more time to process apps; many permits were issued immediately after the effective date.
I know it's little consolation to those waiting, but in reality I think that they are doing pretty good. I believe in Michigan they are allowed to take 30 days to get the paperwork done, and we have had shall issue for a while now. I am also glad to see that the number of rejected applications is so low. I think that shows that they are trying to be fair and not requiring absurd things, like, if you don't put a period after your middle initial when you sign the application, but do when you print yoru name, it gets rejected and you have to start over.
Hang in there brothers and sisters in arms! You will get there!
Anti gunners are already trying to figure out how long it will take to get them all back next year when they repeal it.
As of now they getting better at it 50K issued number climbing everyday but we need to get more signed up or were going to lose it.

Whole House Fan - Creative Ventilation Solution or Bad Idea?
I'm new to the forum so hello all...glad to be here. I recently purchased a 6,000 CFM whole house fan for a 1,500 square foot town house.
After doing some research), I realized I a 6,000 CFM fan need 1,152 square inches of Net Free Ventilation Area (NFVA) in the attic (i.e. 1,152 square inches of ventilation). I only have ~650 and, according to my HOA's rules, adding gable/roof vents is not an option.
To the Point:
I have a large spare bedroom that is not in use. It has two large closets and two windows. My plan is to increase my ventilation by installing one 256 square inch register in the ceiling of each of these closets.
Something like this:
When the fan is in use, I will open the windows in the spare bedroom and close the door, thereby transforming its windows into exhaust vents. When the fan is off, I will simply close the registers.
Would this be a good idea? Or should I just cut a big hole in the drywall separating my attic from my neighbor's and double my ventilation? (kidding! :laughing:)
And how will you seal them well enough in the winter? or don't you need heat in the area you live in.
Close the register (using built in lever) and cover Battic Door velcro-attached R8 Insulation. It's possible to cut this stuff to size with scissors.

This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool.
This part works with the following products: Washer.
I removed 3 of the 4 hinge screws. The fourth, I had to drill out. Rust had frozen it. I used 'liquid wrench', let set for about 2 hours before I used the drill. After, drilling out the screw, It was an easy job. I recommend that the 3 pieces attached to the lid be installed prior to shipping. I almost ruined the door closed post trying to remove it from the old lid.Had I damaged that, my washing maching would have been out of commission for another week awaiting delivery of that part.Duane

Called the FORTIS exoskeleton, the suit developed by global security and aerospace giant Lockheed Martin is unpowered, lightweight, and increases the wearer's strength and endurance.
Although the uses of this type of suit are practically endless, it will be used primarily in the Navy shipyard by maintenance personnel who operate heavy tools and machinery.
The exoskeleton works by transferring the weight of heavy loads from the operator's body directly to the ground. It works effectively in both kneeling or standing positions, and allows flexibility of movements for the operator.
Similar to the suit being developed by DARPA, the exoskeleton will help stabilize and reduce stress on the joints, while creating easy and fluid movements. The possibilities of use by the suit can extend to the battlefield in the future, but for now it will be primarily used by Navy maintenance personnel.
"Ship maintenance often requires use of heavy tools, such as grinders, riveters or sandblasters," Adam Miller, director of new initiatives at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, said in a statement. "Those tools take a toll on operators due to the tools' weight and the tight areas where they are sometimes used. By wearing the FORTIS exoskeleton, operators can hold the weight of those heavy tools for extended periods of time with reduced fatigue."
FORTIS was created to work with the natural movements of the body through its ergonomic design, so movement will remain fluid and flexible, so operators won't be hindered by wearing the suit. Not only will the suit allow operators to work longer and more effectively by reducing fatigue, it will also help prevent injuries. The exoskeleton also adapts to different weights and heights.
While wearing the suit, operators can effortlessly hold objects up to 36 pounds without muscle fatigue or injury. This advantage will help maintenance personnel who work with heavy tools operate the tools as if they are weightless.
The U.S. military has been on the lookout for strength enhancement technology since the creation of DARPA's Warrior Web program in September 2011. With increasing weight on the soldier's back, the military has been looking for ways to reduce weight and help soldier's carry it.
"The load is a critical issue," Lt. Col. Joe Hitt, a former Warrior Web program manager, said in May when DARPA announced the development of a lightweight undersuit for soldiers. "In Warrior Web, we want to explore approaches which make that kind of load feel, in terms of the effort to carry it, as if its weight has been cut in half. That's the goal."
The goals of such suits as the FORTIS exoskeleton and Warrior Web's undersuit are to reduce injuries and fatigue associated with heavy lifting.

…are Catholic and Enjoying It.
The good cardinal follows up here.
An aside: Laurie Goodstein's remarkable provincialism is on display in the opening graf of the NY Times piece. Goodstein, whose normal job is editing reality in order to paint the loathed Pope Benedict XVI as an evil monster, writes:
The comedian Stephen Colbert and Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York bantered onstage Friday night before 3,000 cheering, stomping, chanting students at Fordham University, in what might have been the most successful Roman Catholic youth evangelization event since Pope John Paul II last appeared at World Youth Day.
Actually, outside of the epistemic closure bubble of the NY Times, it turns out that millions have also turned out to hear Pope Benedict too. In fact, the same day New Advent ran the link to the NY Times story about Colbert and Dolan, Pope Benedict was addressing a crowd of youth six and a half times the size of the one at Fordham.
In a speech to at least 20,000 Lebanese youth tonight, both Christians and Muslims, Pope Benedict XVI tackled the elephant in the room during his fourth trip to the Middle East: Despite decades of papal appeals, so far nothing has stopped a steep decline in the region's native Christian population.

Sodium nitrite, dissolving in concentrated H2SO4
Posted 11 September 2006 - 10:37 AM
If I, however, add NaNO2 to concentrated H2SO4 (98%), then no gas is produced. Even if the stuff is heated gently, hardly any gas is produced and the solid completely dissolves. The liquid becomes colorless.
When I add this liquid to water, then it starts bubbling heavily and I get the well-known brown plume of NO and NO2.
My question is: What happens with the nitrite ion in sulphuric acid? Why don't I get NO2 + NO? Is some interesting sulphur/nitrogen/oxygen compound formed?
- 0
Posted 11 September 2006 - 11:15 AM
EDIT: after thought here, how about: H2SO4 +NaNO2 --> Na2SO4 + HNO2 although I`m fairly sure it can only exist in soln though???
again, purely speculative.
- 0
Posted 11 September 2006 - 11:09 PM
I suppose that concentrated sulfuric acid may be powerful enough to oxidize NO2- to NO3-. Upon heating, however, I would still suspect NOx to be formed so obviously that doesn't explain anything.

actualy it was the NO2 bit and Nitrous acid thinking that got me started, and when you said about possibly forming something with the Sulpher, I figured Nitrosyl *something* (sulphide maybe... naah, it would be sulphATE).
this is all I can find on it of any real help: http://www.chemicall...LFURIC ACID.htm

And undoubtedly there are more blue gasses, but they will be less common. In my home lab I have made gasses with yellow, brown, red, orange, green and purple color, but up to now no blue gas, so I'm definitely going to try this reaction next weekend.

I use to use NO+ salts occasionally to produce M-NO complexes. They are very interesting as the NO ligand can act as a 3e donor or a 1e donor and so have always been of interest to those studying catalytic mechanisms.
NO+ salts are both air sensitive and moisture sensitive as the NO+ cation is both oxidising and reducing

I did the experiments with colored gasses. First unexpected thing that I observed is that it is important to have a small amount of water present. E.g. when NaCl is added to a notrosyl/sulphuric acid solution, then only HCl is produced. If a small amount of water is present (e.g. wet NaCl), then a nice orange/yellow gas is produced. This gas is ONCl.
I did the same experiment by adding NaBr (also wet). This produced a chocolate/brown very dark compound in solution, and a dark brown gas. This gas is very heavy and can be poured out of the test tube and see really nicely see it falling downwards. This is an indication of large molecular weight. I think that the brown compound is ONBr. It definitely is not bromine, because that does not have a chocolate/brown color, that is much more red.
With dry NaBr, I get HCl and orange/red/brown fumes of Br2. The color of these are quite different from the color of the chocolate/brown compound. A small whiff of this dark brown gas (done by moving the hand along the open end of the test tube towards my nose) has a weak smell, totally different from the smell of bromine (once you have smelt bromine, you recognize it for ever).
Most funny result with NaBr is that even on strong dilution, this dark brown compounds still exists. As a counter test, I did an experiment by adding NaNO2 to a dilute solution of H2SO4 and KBr. This results in formation of the dark brown compound, even in water! Under these conditions, the color is dark brown/green, very different from the color of bromine in water.
With NaSCN, a lot of a colorless gas is produced and the liquid starts foaming a lot, and an orange/yellow solid is produced. The liquid itself turns grey/blue and turbid, but that color is transient. In contact with air, the colorless gas turns brown, so it at least contains NO, it may even be pure NO. The orange/yellow solid is insoluble in any aqueous solvent, either acid or base. Only with strong scrubbing, it could be removed from the test tube.
Finally, I did experiments, hoping to get blue ON-CN. This gas, however, is not formed. The solid NaCN is covered by a dark brown/black layer and the solid hardly further reacts. There is some formation of gas. I did not dare to take a small whiff of this. When a small amount of water is added, then I just get copious amounts of brown gas, indicating quick decomposition of the nitrosyl to NO + NO2. This brown gas could contain some HCN as well, I have been overly cautious while doing this experiment and did not smell anything.

"With nitric acid itself, sulfuric acid acts as both an acid and a dehydrating agent, forming the nitronium ion NO2+, which is important in nitration reactions involving electrophilic aromatic substitution. This type of reaction where protonation occurs on an oxygen atom, is important in many reactions in organic chemistry, such as Fischer esterification and dehydration of alcohols."

- 1536 CUDA Cores

Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
This review is from: ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Got this to replace an aging GTX 560 Ti.
Slotted it in, booted up, global driver picked it up and I was good to go within minutes. No additional setup required.
VERY quiet. Not hearing the GPU fans roaring when under load was a breath of fresh air.
It's a big. Had to rearrange the drives in my tower in order to give it enough space. Minor detail, but make sure you properly account for its dimensions if you don't have much breathing room.
Other Thoughts:
If you're trying to choose between the 770 and 780, get the 770. Best bang for buck and you won't be missing the extra power from the 780 for most practical gaming purposes.

Be the first to review
READY IN: 7hrs 15mins
Recipe by Seasoned Cook
WONDERFUL FLAVOR!! Cool, soothing and almost taste like a dreamsycle! This salad has always been a hit at our family gatherings. Goes well with any entree. It makes a very pretty salad when served on a lettuce leaf. (Cooking time includes refrigerator time.)
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (1/3 ounce) packages orange gelatin mix (jello)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 (11 ounce) mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 (8 ounce) pineapple tidbits, drained
- 1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Directions See How It's Made
- Dissolve packages of orange gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water and stir well. Add 2 cups of cold water and stir.
- Place gelatin mixture in a medium size bowl and allow to get cold in refrigerator. When gelatin mixture is slightly beginning to set around edges of bowl (test frequently -- you do not want it to completely set) remove from refrigerator.
- With an electric mixer beat softened cream cheese in a separate bowl and add small amounts (starting with tablespoons full) of gelatin mixture while beating. This will insure the mixture to be smooth.
- By hand, stir in drained mandarin oranges and drained pineapple tidbits. Stir in mini marshmallows. (If you elect to use crushed pineapple, drain extremely well.).
- Pour into a 2 or 3 quart pyrex dish and place in refrigerator. Let mixture get completely cold for at least 6 hours before serving.
- Cut in squares and serve salad on lettuce leaf.
- Note: If you want more of an orange flavor, use 3 ounces of cream cheese.
- Enjoy!

Re: How to find the right live aboard
Insulation , mandatory in my northern latitudes can still make a huge difference in winter, in yours. It can be added.
Re: How to find the right live aboard
My wife and I live on a 36' Holliday Mantion, Fiberglass Houseboat and we love it. It will handle the bay in any conditions
And is a lot more live friendly then most boats. I'm yanking the motor (indoard outboard). And installing 2 outboards I can raise out of the water and easily maintain, Being we live in the bay salt water which will deteriorate anything you put in it, including your out drive .
We also have a lil 27' Oday Sloop sail boat at another Marina we call our guest home / inlaw unit / office / kids college dorm ,,, you get the picture, and at $230 a month it's worth every penny. We stay there more in winter cause it takes less than 5 minutes and toasty warm.
Don't buy a wood boat unless you have plenty of time for the maintainence And plenty of Money. I made that mistake my first boat.
Came down to a girlfriend or the boat,,,,,she won!
We love boat life it's like being on permanent vacation. Although ther are adjustments like living simple and not excessive, No complaints, hope this helps
Dan Dayton
Newbie here,
I'm also shopping just now (and learning) would just like to say good luck to bombadil420 and a well done to everybody who posted, some really good and very useful advice for newbies!
|After you spend a day or two looking at as many different (OEMs, sizes, models, years, etc) boats as you can, You and your wife should seperately make 2 lists. List 1: Things (roller furling main, walk thru transom, wheel steering, air conditioning, etc) I want on the boat, list 2: things I don't want on the boat. When done, compare and negotiate down to 2 combined lists. Then continue the shopping using the lists as a guide.
Go to local boat sellers and arrange to view in person (Not over the internet) lots of different vessels. you then get to see what size, quality and refinements you require.
internet pictures can be old so do not give real view of vessel.
Seek hard you find the vessel for your needs and wants.
I moved aboard my boat a couple of months ago. There's already a wealth of good advice above, so I'll try and be succinct.
1) Look at boats in the 29-36' range, maintenance doesn't scale up with length, it scales up with area. A 36ft boat isn't half again as much work as a 24ft, it's closer to double.
2) Smaller is also less boat to clean and keep tidy.
3) Smaller is also less berthing fees. My marina has a completely different (and much higher) tariff after 10m.
4) Don't start by taking all the luxuries, hobbies and possessions in your life and trying to see what you can lose to fit them into a boat lifestyle. Instead start at a blank, figure out the bare minimum of what you need to life comfortably and then see what you can budget in afterwards. Build it up slowly, carefully assessing each item, be brutal.
5) Read these two threads Living Aboard Cheap and Boat Inspection Trip Tips.
6) Get out and look at boats, look at as many boats as you can find in your price/size range. At first you will see a lot of awesome boats, try not to get over excited. Agree to nothing without sleeping on it.
7) Find likely marinas, get details of their tariffs. If you're a little geeky, like me, throw together a quick spreadsheet, adding each possible boat and adding on the insurance, berthing costs and the cost of any work that may need doing, be generous. Compare it to your expected income, the less money you spend on the boat the more money you have for luxuries, trips and savings etc.
8) Look at some more boats. You'll know the one when you find it, I did
9) Get it done, I'm wondering now why it took me so long.

We live in Sacramento, California, so the majority of our time spent aboard our home would be on rivers. Any advice?
and let you know that I lived for 15 years in Sacramento ... and now liveabord a Cal 28 on San Francisco Bay ...
First off ... experience on the water ... and actual time spent on a boat ... how much time have you spent aboard ... it is a very rewarding experience ... much different than in an apartment ... and very rewarding in it's own way ... if you have little to none ... I would highly suggest that you spend time aboard ... both power and sail ... with friends (if they have any) ... if not ... take some time and visit Sacramento Yacht Club or Capital City Yacht Club or River View Yacht Club ... it will let you see potential 'homes' ... lifestyles ... and where you might possibly be keeping your boat
As you will have 100's of miles of delta to explore and enjoy ... see if you can hook up with someone there to spend a weekend on the delta and see if a power or a sailboat makes more sense for you ...
Start reading Latitude 38 and possibly hook up with the Delta Do-Dah which starts end July.
Once you get a feel for the kind of boat you think you would like to live on ... look at boats .. and more boats .. and more boats .. with a keen eye as to space ... privacy ... storage ... comforts ... maintenance
Keep good records as to what you think you want ... what you see you like ... and DON'T like ... and don't be afraid to change your mind
Be realistic with regards to how much time you will spend ... out on the water ... for this will make a marked difference in the boat you end up initially purchasing.
Take classes at the USCG Aux in Sacramento as this will not only add to your education but also give you valued contacts.
Also look at where you will keep her (another reason to start spending time at yacht clubs and marinas ... but don't forget there are also some private moorings available on the river ...)
REMEMBER ... that this is a BUYER'S market right now ... and that you can do very very well in San Francisco purchasing a boat ... for example on Craigs List there's a beautiful Cal 30 for sale ... blue water boat with many upgrades .. well maintained ... for $3700 ... or this 36' Bill Garden 36 with asking price of 13.5K
I would highly recommend getting immersed in the culture ... for it is a culture ... learning as much as you can ... about what you want and what makes you happy ... and not being afraid to take the 'plunge' if you find that is what you want to do.
Also remember that maintenance aboard is something mandatory and not merely an option ... you don't have to be a skilled craftsman (tho yes it helps) ... you need to be willing to learn ... and put the time and effort into it ...
Finding a balance between what makes you happy initially ... what you will enjoy living on ... and what you can afford ... is rather difficult ... especially when there are two of you ... so communicate ... especially the things that you dislike.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
My wife an I have a Bristol 29.9 (30ft). There is a v-berth, large head (the bigger the better for women), a good sized salon, gally and quarter berth. It has plenty of storage for us as well as the dog (sheltie). Some would say the boat is too small that a couple needs a 35 to 40 foot boat. If you are going to spend most of your time at the dock or day sailing on the weekend then that may be fine for you. However if you intend to sail in blue water 30 to 35 is more than enough. Additionally blue water boats vs near coastal cruisers are two completely different boats as well as two different types of sailing. Your big roomey bay boats do not provide much in the way of comfort in rough water. They tend to have too much free board and bob like a cork. Then there is the beam and openess of a costal cruiser. You can pick up a lot of speed down below with a 12 to 14 foot beam and I can say from experience the other side of the boat comes at you fast and does not provide a soft landing. Where as a blue water boat is typically less roomey less beamey but provides a smoother ride with more hand holds (a good thing). Moving from a studio apartment is a good start, it will have more room than most boats but still better than a 2000 foot 3 bedroom house. I would recomend finding a boat that you think is a little too small (it's not). Then you and your wife go thru your closets ect. and toss 1/2 of everything there. Wait a month and do it again. Then when you move on the boat you will only need to do it one more time. It is NOT about a minimalists lifestyle or learning to do without it is learning more about what you NEED vs what you want. Someone once said if it's not on the boat you don't need it...
Just my thoughts.

RED WINGS 5, DUCKS 1: Justin Abdelkader had his first NHL hat trick, Pavel Datsyuk had a goal and two assists, and Detroit ended Anaheim's club-record 13-game home winning streak.
Detroit began a four-game road trip with the first of back-to-back games against Pacific Division leaders, who beat the Red Wings 5-2 in their only other meeting on Feb. 15 at Joe Louis Arena.
The teams meet again on Sunday at Honda Center.
Jimmy Howard allowed fewer than three goals for the eighth time in his past nine starts and had 33 saves.
Teemu Selanne scored for the Ducks.
CAPITALS 6, JETS 1: Alex Ovechkin scored two goals and Braden Holtby made 30 saves and Washington beat Winnipeg.
Brooks Laich, Troy Brouwer, Jay Beagle and Mike Green also scored for the Capitals and Mike Ribeiro had two assists as Washington picked up a much-needed four points in two nights thanks to the Jets. Dustin Byfuglien scored Winnipeg's goal in the third.
BLUE JACKETS 5, FLAMES 1: Nick Foligno scored twice in a club-record 51 seconds and Columbus scored three goals in a 1:15 span of the second period to beat Calgary, extending its franchise-record points streak to 12 games.
Artem Anisimov, Colton Gillies and Jared Boll also had goals and Sergei Bobrovsky continued his strong play with 24 saves as the Blue Jackets, last in the NHL on Feb. 24, ran their record to 8-0-4 in their hot streak.
R.J. Umberger and Derek MacKenzie each had two assists.
The two goals by Foligno and one by Anisimov in 75 seconds also were the fastest three goals by the Blue Jackets.

Singer-Songwriter Tina Dickow hails from Aarhus. Having decided to plot the 'indie route' in her native Denmark, Tina released her first album 'Fuel' in 2001 to critical acclaim. Not happy to rest on her laurels, Tina's wanderlust took her to London where she embarked on two years of musical isolation and discovery. Along the way, she was invited to feature on Zero 7's second album 'When It Falls'. Featuring on two tracks, Tina went on to tour the world with the band. In the midst of this, Tina found time to write, record and release a second album ('Notes') and an EP that was released solely in the UK and North America ('Far'). This activity culminated in signing a major record deal with Sony in the UK. Tina went on to record what would be her most successful album to date ('In The Red'). The album was produced by Chris Potter (best known for his work with The Verve). With the Sony/BMG restructuring, Tina became a pawn in the merger and the newly formed Sony BMG gave Tina back the masters for her to release independently. Since then, Tina has never looked back. Picking up several music awards along the way, Tina continued to tour extensively, signed a licensing deal with Universal in Germany and gathered further critical acclaim from all quarters. Tina is now about to release her 4th studio album ('Count To Ten') and already the critics and media are sighting this recording as her most important and personal release to date.

Co-Counseling (Re-evaluation Counseling or RC) is a grass roots, low-cost, and reciprocal form of counseling that offers an alternative to traditional talk therapy. The methodology provides a safe and supportive environment for developing personal awareness and releasing distress. Sometimes called Peer Counseling, it involves both people taking turns acting as the "counselor" and the "client." There are multi-month trainings for learning and practicing the process. Through these you can find others with whom to share counseling.
Co-counseling focuses on identifying patterns of distress and releasing them through emotional and physical discharge. It is particularly useful for understanding subconscious, deeper beliefs, feelings, and perspectives that prevent us from moving forward. It can help us to become more aware of noticing when we are triggered by others and offers methods for dealing with these issues in a positive way.
