MMSI into Icom IC-M504
Hi all,
I'm confused, which at my age doesn't take much, about entering my MMSI into my VHF. Our boat came with the radio, therefore, I don't know how many different MMSI numbers have been added. The manual says that, "This code programming can be performed only twice." After that it can be changed only by a dealer or distributor. So if I have entered a MMSI issued by BoatUS and then get one issued by the feds if we decide to sail out of the country does that mean I could be hung up for a period of time if for instance we are in the USVI?
Any opinions and/or advice?????
Re: MMSI into Icom IC-M504
An MMSI stays with the vessel when sold, so if you entered one from BoatUS, it should have been the first. If it already had one, that number should have been transferred, rather than getting a new one. (I admit that the BoatUS MMSIs are a little "different"; I teach the ROC(M) course for CPS, and in Canada only Industry Canada issues MMSIs, which are indeed permanent to the vessel.)
So, chances are the MMSI already in the radio is its first, unless the radio was purchased used (given the number of non-DSC VHF radios out there, and how long sailors tend to keep equipment, I'd say it's unlikely) for that vessel.
That means that you should be OK for one more change, unless the boat/radio came with an MMSI which you replaced with another, then intend to change one more time.
(end opinion)
(begin advice)
What you could do is take the radio to an ICOM dealer who can factory-reset the MMSI (thereby zero-ing out the "only twice" counter) now, then program in your BoatUS MMSI. That will be the "first entry", leaving you with one more available for if/when you get an FCC MMSI.
Or you could get an FCC MMSI right now, do what it takes to program it in (via a dealer reset if necessary), and not worry about it again.
Re: MMSI into Icom IC-M504
Thanks Redline for the input and great info. Can't for the life of me understand why there are two sources for MMSI but 'it is what it is.'
Re: MMSI into Icom IC-M504
In the USA, Boat US took on the issuance of MMSI numbers for recreational boats. They did it as here in the USA, you don't have to have a radio license issued by the FCC to operate a VHF as long as you are staying in USA waters or you are not communicating with foreign flagged vessels. Hence the two numbering entities.
When I switched MMSI numbers, I was able to change the MMSI number on the radio (second entry) and canceled my Boat US number on line. It's pretty easy to do.
Re: MMSI into Icom IC-M504
I'm aware that the BoatUS number can only be used for radios that will stay within US waters. However, I have never seen any indication that radios with the BoatUS (domestic US) MMSI cannot communicate with foreign flagged vessels. Could you please link a source for that information?
In the Delaware River and Chesapeake Bay we get foreign flagged vessels all the time. Inability to communicate with them is a pretty serious safety deficiency.
Re: MMSI into Icom IC-M504
There are two different issues here.
The first is the MMSI number differences between a Boat U.S.-issued one and one issued by the FCC. The first type is not entered into the ITU international database and thus is not available to, e.g., foreign search-and-rescue entities.
I know of no specific prohibition to a boat with a Boat U.S. - issued MMSI communicating by voice with a foreign vessel.
HOWEVER, there is a prohibition of communicating with foreign vessels or in other countries without having two things:
1. a commercial radiotelephone Operator's Permit; and
3. a Station Lcense for the boat.
Both of these (the Permit and the License) are issued by the FCC upon application. Along with their issuance, you automatically are assigned a MMSI number, and this number should be used in your VHF, HF, AIS, etc.
So, strictly speaking, if you're off Cove Point in the Chesapeake and want to talk with a foreign-flagged LPG carrier via VHF you need to have the FCC-issued operators permit and station license.
At least that's the way I understand things.
Re: MMSI into Icom IC-M504
Having said this though, I know that US flagged boats frequently communicate with the commercial vessels, most of whom are foreign flagged, and with the occassional visitor migrating south. It hasn't been enforced.
Re: MMSI into Icom IC-M504
Can you post a link to this regulation?
Re: MMSI into Icom IC-M504
Re: MMSI into Icom IC-M504
Take Five,
Don't overthink this. It is what is is. Either follow the law or don't.
BTW, in my judgment -- over 50 years of sailing on the Chesapeake, 100-ton license, etc., etc. -- there is absolutely no reason to call a tanker, anyway.
Stay the hell out of their way. You can see them even if they can't see you. And, you have plenty of time to make necessary course changes to stay clear.

A United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) Certified Tennis Professional, Palladino has worked as a tennis instructor in West Michigan for the last 20 years since his collegiate playing career ended in 1987. As part of a reorganization plan, he will take over both the men's and women's tennis positions in a joint role. The men's head coaching role has been vacant since the resignation of former head coach Jan Talian in January while previous women's head coach Jing "Amy" Sun will now serve in a teaching capacity and direct summer camps for Ferris' Racquet and Fitness Center along with the school's Professional Tennis Management (PTM) program.
"Alex is well-known across West Michigan and throughout the Midwest in the tennis industry," Kirinovic said. "We are extremely lucky to bring someone with his tennis knowledge and ability to our university.
"Personally, he was an NCAA champion and understands the work that is necessary to prepare oneself to reach those heights," added Kirinovic. "He also understands how to teach the skills needed to improve the level of play on our teams. With all this being said, I am happy to have Alex leading our tennis programs."
Palladino, who competed at the NCAA Division III level for Kalamazoo College from 1984-87, led the Hornets to back-to-back NCAA-III National Championships his final two years under head coach George Acker. He captured NCAA-III national titles in doubles play while teaming with Jim Burda as both a junior and senior. Twice, he reached the NCAA-III championship match as a singles player at Kalamazoo.
While at Kalamazoo College, Palladino earned four varsity letters and also claimed the school's Most Accomplished Athlete Award as a senior. He competed at both the top singles and doubles flights as a collegian. In addition, Palladino was a four-time All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) selection and named league MVP his final campaign.
Since finishing his collegiate career, Palladino has served in a variety of tennis roles. He spent two years as a teaching professional in Chicago and five years at the East Hills club in Grand Rapids. In 1986, Palladino became the Director of Tennis at the Michigan Athletic Club in Grand Rapids where he worked until 2001 when he moved into a similar role with the Champion Health and Fitness Club in Rockford. He's also worked as the tennis director at the Kent Country Club in Grand Rapids.
"I'm extremely excited about the future and the opportunities presented here to build our program at Ferris State University," said Palladino.
As a professional player, Palladino has won the adult men's Midwest Indoor Championship seven times, traveled on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Satellite Circuit and earned victories over players ranked as high as #145 in the word. He has twice been honored as the United States Professional Tennis Association's (USPTA) Midwest Player of the Year and been recognized as the West Michigan Adult Player of the Year several times.
Palladino began playing competitive tennis at the age of 11 in Kalamazoo and entered his first tournament one year later. He qualified for the Midwest sectionals as a 15-year old and advanced to the USTA Junior Nationals when he was only 16 years old. He was twice ranked in the Midwest section's top five players and finished among the top 24 players nationally prior to his collegiate career.
A 1984 graduate of Kalamazoo Central High School, Palladino was an all-state player and team Most Valuable Player Award recipient during his prep playing career. The three-year letterwinner placed among the top eight finishers at the state meet his junior campaign for the Maroon Giants. He graduated from high school a semester early to enroll and play that spring at Kalamazoo where he advanced to the NCAA-III singles national championship match as a 17-year old freshman.
Palladino continues to play men's "open" events and has recent wins over top graduating players from both Michigan State and Western Michigan University.
Besides playing tennis, Palladino's hobbies also include playing the guitar and creating stained glass windows. He graduated from Kalamazoo with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and art in 1987.
Palladino is married for the former Mona Bidwell. He has a son, Jordan, and two daughters, Bailey and Leah.
The Ferris State University women's tennis team officially opened the 2007-08 campaign by taking part in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Great Lakes Championships this past weekend (Sept. 14-16) in Indianapolis, Ind. The men's squad begins its season this weekend (Sept. 21-23) at the ITA Great Lakes Championships at Midland, Mich. FSU's women's team has presently made 12 consecutive regional trips to the NCAA-II Tournament while the men's program has reached the regional tourney 10-straight years to date.

Got my first rifle at 15, bought my first handgun at 18, used it for self defense for the first time at 22. (Bunch of rapists were closing in on me and my girl friend.)

blakebcg -
I don't know FL law so I won't comment on it but just because you're 18 doesn't mean that you'll never have to defend yourself. I certainly did at that age but I was in the Military.
Since your dad owns a LARGE gun shop you should tell him that he can get a space to advertise on this site. We'd be glad to have him & he'd be sure to get lots of exposure here.
Normally Hopyard is more reserved, I'll have to assume he didn't mean to come off so overbearing.
I absolutely support your right and your duty to protect yourself, at 18 or 81.
This being said, from a guy not too much older than you, hear this:
I've had a gun in my car since I was 19, I used to work in a fairly unsavory part of town. Even just a few years later though, I look back and see a completely different person than I am now, I was stupid at 19 (to put it bluntly). I would just like to drive home how possessing a weapon changes your responsibility to yourself and everyone around you. The younger you are, the more likely you are to do something incredibly rash, and nobody I know of is any exception.
So whether you have a gun or not, remember, don't go stupid places, do stupid things, or be near stupid people, ever.
And if you do have a gun, something any young man would be wise to keep fresh in mind is to stay cool, calm, and collected, be smooth. If you're in an argument with a coworker, a girlfriend, a parent, a stranger, and you have a gun in your possession, GET AWAY. When tensions are high, having a gun around to possibly escalate the situation in a moment of poor judgement, is the worst thing that could happen. Remove you and your gun from the situation, or remove the situation from you and your gun, whichever is appropriate.
Now that I've said that, I welcome you to the forum and hope you continue to learn and provide for the defense of you and your loved ones.
What do you drive? I'm kind of car guy, as are many of us, and we could possibly help you decide on a proper location in your car to stow your weapon.
That's a good idea, I'll print that out. I wasn't aware I could just have it encased in something. I might just zip it up in a bag and leave it in the side pocket of my door.Quote:
I urge caution before carrying concealed for anyone, especially someone so young, as one might make make rash decisions that will affect you for a lifetime. Be safe; be careful.
There is no need to place your registration elsewhere. If stopped, simply advise the LEO that your registration is in your glovebox as well as your firearm. Ask him how he'd like you to proceed. You might consider keeping a copy of the "conveyence" statute and the state's definition of "securely encased" as many LEOs, like your father, are not aware of this legality. Rather than argue the point, should you run across one of these "less-informed" officers, show him the statutes and ask him to read them before things proceed too far.
I would never pull a gun on anyone because of an argument or a confrontation i could get away from, and a big reason for that is actually because I'm 18. I should have a pretty long future ahead of me, and I dont want to spend it in a locked up room. There are times, though, I wished I had one. Just 3 months ago I turned down a road that I'm very familiar with, and there was a car just parked in a turning lane. I drove passed the parked car, and next thing I know there are headlights in my rearview flying up to my car. I thought it was an undercover cop and I was speeding or something.. I stopped at light and got a glimpse at the guy behind me and realized it was a red infinity G35, so it definitely wasn't a cop. I was freaked out. The light turned green, and I made a right turn, another right turn, and another right turn and the guy was still behind me; I was being followed. I road around hoping to run into a cop (I would've driven to the police station but It was too far, I had barely any gas left), so I just drove and cut around corners like a maniac until I lost him.
To answer your question, I drive an E92 BMW M3 convertible.
Love the ride height on those, perfect wheel fitment from the factory.
Only M3 I've been in had a flip open pocket (maybe it was an ash tray?) just in front of the shifter, if you had a pistol in a gun rig, that might work out well for you. I remember the door pocket being too close to the seat, seems like it might be awkward.
In my car, I made an attachment point on the center console near my knee, had to drill some holes, but it's a Pontiac, and I have spare panels. IDK if I could do that in a $70k car though.lol
Florida also recently passed a Bill, they WILL issue conceal carry permits to members of the Armed Forces stationed in Florida regardless of age. But those permits would only be good in the state of Florida.
IS this what you are talking about?
790.062 Members and veterans of United States Armed Forces; exceptions from licensure provisions.—(1) Notwithstanding s. 790.06(2)(b), the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services shall issue a license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm under s. 790.06 if the applicant is otherwise qualified and:
(a) Is a servicemember, as defined in s. 250.01; or
(b) Is a veteran of the United States Armed Forces who was discharged under honorable conditions.
FS 790.06 requires an applicant to be 21. I don't see any military exception to age listed. I would verify this with the Dept of Ag & CS.
Welcome to the forum.
You are 18 and appear to have a good head on your shoulders so take this as friendly advice from someone who has been around for awhile. Forums are a good place to gather opinions of other firearms people but are a poor place for legal assistance. You have already experienced why it is not a good idea to place too much trust on what you read from us.
I for one will not spend a single dime defending myself in court or to a LEO for any bad advice. You on the other hand could disqualify yourself from ever being able to own a firearm. And you could be seeing your 21st birthday from jail.
You get what you pay for as far as legal advice goes. Get your legal opinions from a attorney that understands self defense law and is practicing such. The cost of a consultation may be $100 or so but the value of our opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it..$0.00.
What is perfectly legal in one state could be a felony in another. We are from all over the globe but even if we were living next door to you we probably have no real defensible experience on what FL law is.
Just because someone quotes a statute or post the text of such, doesn't necessarily mean that it applies. An example is that a municipality could have much more stringent laws. Illinois and Chicago come to mind.
A LEO (law enforcement officer) is a poor place to gather legal advice. No knock on them, and I have some good friends that are LEO, but that is not their field of expertise.
As you have seen above, not everyone has the ability to stay on target or even understands what you are asking.
I hope you get the answers you desire from the right source to be legal and safe.
Keep coming back and ask all the questions you want, but always remember. It's our opinion.

President Obama Visits Electric Car Plant and Promotes Spending Towards Goal of 1 Million Plug-in Cars by 2015
President Obama has mentioned before it is his goal to see 1 million plug-in cars on US roads by 2015. On Thursday he visited Southern California Edison's Electric Vehicle Technical Center in California. The facility is an experimentla electric car plant that maintains more than 300 electric and gas electric cars.
There he said "our greatest discoveries are born not in a flash of brilliance, but in the crucible of a deliberate effort over time" and that "often they take an investment from government. "
He acknowledged that "Japan is producing the batteries that currently power American hybrid cars."
He said "We can remain one of the world's leading importers of foreign oil, or we can make the investments that will allow us to become the world's leading exporter of renewable energy."
Obama also reiterated his pledge stating "we will put one million plug-in hybrid vehicles on America 's roads by 2015. "
He took the opportunity to announce a new $2 billion grant program under the Recovery Act "that will spark the manufacturing of the batteries and parts that run these cars, build or upgrade the factories that will produce them, and in the process, create thousands of jobs right here in America."
As well he introduced a $400 million "down payment" on preparing electric car infrastructure, and mentioned the $7500 tax credit already earmarked for the first 500,000 buyers of a company's electric cars.
Meanwhile, back in DC the Auto Task Force is apparently nearing a framework that could be in place as early as next week for restructuring GM and Chrysler and defining how the governemnt will help, though bondholders and the UAW are still wrangling over their mandate to reduce the automakers debt to them.
And so it seems from this economic catastrophe, government intervention, and fantastically enormous spending, shall rise something positive, the electric car.

SOURCE Awards
SOURCE Awards National Lighting Design Competition
Now in its 41st year, the SOURCE Awards competition is open to all lighting designers, architects, engineers, professional designers, and consultants who use Eaton's lighting fixtures in an interior or exterior design project. Students currently enrolled in any of these disciplines are also eligible to enter projects based on conceptual lighting designs utilizing Eaton's lighting fixtures, and are judged in a separate student category.
The competition requires the primary and predominant use of any or all of the Eaton's product lines, and this year the competition seeks a creative use of fixtures providing energy-efficient design solutions in addition to standard projects.
Projects are judged on the blending of aesthetics, creative achievement, and technical performance and the degree to which the lighting met project constraints and design concept goals. There will be no minimum or maximum number of awards given, as each project will be judged on its own merit. Award categories will include: Winner, Honorable Mention and Award of Recognition.
Over the competition's 40-year history, winners have been awarded over $1,000,000 million in addition to receiving industry wide recognition. Past entry applications have included commercial offices, retail stores, galleries, libraries, banks, restaurants, convention centers, entertainment facilities, and residences.
The SOURCE Awards competition was created to furthering the understanding, knowledge and function of lighting as a primary element in design.

Tiling inside a fireplace
My fireplace walls seem to be so cold in the winter that I am sure I am losing a lot of heat thru them so I would like to insulate them further by tiling over the refractory stone bricks that line the inside. I want to get fireproof tiles, preferably 1" but don't know what tiles are made of fireproof material suitable for withstanding the heat of a fire. Can anyone help?
Puting a layer of tile on the fireplace is not going to insulate it appreciably, and finding appropriate material and applyiong it is not going to be easy. If the fireplace is cold when not in use, are you making sure the damper is shut? How about making a 'door' that can be stored behind the couch or wherever and then tucked into the fireplace when not in use?
The damper is closed and secure. It is the walls that seem to be letting in the cold air. I built a 2" screen and lined the back with foam insulation so I could press it against the brick fireplace front and that helps but it is such a hassle to move it when you want to build a fire because it is so heavy. I found fireproof mortar on the net but no tile that assures me they are fireproof. Today I am going outside to see if there is something that I can do from there to seal the mortar or the bricks. If anyone has any other suggestions, please speak up. I want to accomplish this before cold weather sets in. Thanks.
If it is a masonry fireplace, the thermal mass of the unit will not cause any heat loss at all. If it is an older fireplace, or you can feel a draft at the throat, then you have damper issues.
You can buy firebrick in a 1-5/8" thickness, called "splits", but they will add neligible protection against heat loss, since you already have 8-24" of masonry behind them.

I've bought a vintage Longines solid 18k gold from mid 60s in Rome recently. If anybody know something about this watch I would be grateful!
What I come up with is that it's a cal 370 movement (a mediocre movement?) and it's from around mid 60's. More it's keeping time very good.

Every winter the NZ International Film Festival (NZIFF) brings the best and brightest of world cinema straight from the international circuit to the giant screens of New Zealand. NZIFF is run by charitable trust, NZ Film Festival Trust, and held annually in Wellington (from July 26) before travelling to a further 10 towns and cities around the country.
NZIFF is essentially a non-competitive Festival with a single competitive section the 'NZ's Best' short film competition. We encourage developing filmmakers by providing this showcase of the best in NZ short filmmaking talent through audience engagement and peer participation.
NZIFF is built on the principle of sharing box office income with filmmakers, providing one of the few opportunities around for filmmakers to launch their works locally and earn a few dollars in the process.
Wellington venue & booking info: Screening at cinemas around Wellington: Embassy Theatre, Paramount, Penthouse, Roxy Cinema, Soundings Theatre Te Papa, NZ Film Archive, City Gallery. Full programme will be announced Thursday 27 June and tickets will be on sale from Ticketek outlets from Tuesday 2 July.

By JAMES P. DAWSON ();
January 28, 1940,
, Section Sports, Page S7, Column , words
Fred Apostoli, California, who formerly held the world middleweight title, will make another attempt Friday night to demonstrate he is of light heavyweight championship caliber. In a bout scheduled for fifteen rounds in Madison Square Garden, the likable ring warrior from the Coast will resume hostilities with Melio Bettina, rugged Beacon, N.Y., southpaw.

Scouts are looking
There are 25 comments on the The Indianapolis Star story from Jul 19, 2007, titled Scouts are looking. In it, The Indianapolis Star reports that:Who will be the next big hoop star coming from the north suburban area? Stephan Van Treese of Lawrence North has gotten offers from basketball programs at Indiana, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Purdue and ...

Kyree Jones is now at LN? So let me get this straight. He was at Belzer, which feeds LC. He moves to Chicago for a year or two, and tranfers back into LN's district. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame the kid, it was a good move on his part. But situations like this is making Blake Ress and the IHSAA look like the fools that they are.
#2 Jul 19, 2007
what about Walter Offut from Warren Central? I think he should be included, since he has already been scouted by Ohio State and other schools
#3 Jul 19, 2007
Surely you don't think that so many Lawrence North players are being scouted because the coach is so good! Well, he is good at SOMEthing -- recruiting. How many of those players used to live in Terre Haute? LN is the most crooked high school basketball program in the state!
#4 Jul 19, 2007
No, no, no, you're all wrong!! It just happens that ALL the 7 ft. kids in Indiana live in Lawrence North's school district. There wouldn't be anything going on there would it? Couldn't be living in a rental property owned by the coach... could they? Sounds like you're all trying to find something, where nothing exists!!
#5 Jul 19, 2007
What about Carmel??
Lets see, Stuart Douglas transferred for Hamilton Heights JUST for basketball. Last year, Jake Kelly who is going to Iowa transferred from Marshall, Ill and the Carmel administrators gave him mom a job at the school. Jordan Brewer, great player who transferred from Pike but is going to end up playing football at Purdue. The kid Newton, I don't remember his first name transferred from Pike. Need I say more about the good recruiting they do at Carmel. And, that being said, they still never win at anything except for swimming and golf.
#6 Jul 19, 2007
What's this?.... people say Warren is recruiting football kids? Say it's not so!! Just like LN basketball, it just so happens that every kid with speed and size is finding a good community to live in Warren. They don't cheat. They don't recruit. They don't put kids in special ed so they can't fail and thus remain eligible for football.
Wait, they do cheat... channel 13 caught that on tape.... they do recruit too.... well certainly they don't manipulate the system so that kids are put in special ed... oh wait,.. they do that too... I think that is why the coach who left for Oklahoma got fired.... uh .. asked to resign there, because they wouldn't put up with that nonsense.
#7 Jul 19, 2007
What's the matter with you people? Why can't you just be happy these kids are being recruited for college? Who cares where they live? Parents are going to locate their kids where the best programs are. Sounds like sour grapes to me.
#8 Jul 19, 2007
Hey Dope- I can't tell you about the other stuff, but the Newton kids father is Asst. Principal at Carmel HS. has been for years, not just recently.
They chose to build a home in the community where he works-what's wrong with that?
#9 Jul 19, 2007
no sour grapes, just saying how did the best programs get to be the best programs? They cheated. I'm ok with opening things up and saying go where you want to- they do that in Florida and Georgia, but as long as we have the rules, follow the rules.
#10 Jul 19, 2007
You're right. Morgan Newton's move to Carmel is legit...
#11 Jul 19, 2007
LN has 6 players on their roster 6'7" or taller... SIX! LC's tallest player, I believe is 6'6". Anyone with half brain have to wonder how this is happening. And Jones, who is a hell of a player, and who's dad, I believe is a college coach, was in the LC feeder middle school. Now he's at LN? LC fans should be livid.
#12 Jul 19, 2007
maybe you should get your facts straight about warren central and what goes on there. first, yeah maybe they were caught on tape practicing, but i bet you a million bucks that numerous other highschools practice illegally too, actually i can name at least two. also, warren does not cheat, sorry that you are angry that your team hasn't one four straight state championships. kids are not put in special ed that don't need to be there, and nothing is done that's against the rules at warren. did they cheat in 1984 and 1985 when they won back to back state championships? oh okay just wondering, get your facts straight man and then say something.
#13 Jul 19, 2007
one more thing buddy, kevin wright left tulsa because he didnt want to be there and actually has a better job, once again you have no idea what you are talking about
#14 Jul 19, 2007
I Guess Warren Central recuits Football Players, North Central Recruits Tennis and Swimming Athletes etc. Get a grip build a bridge and get over it. Great Athletic programs attend to attract athletes that want to excel in the field of sports.
#15 Jul 19, 2007
Spew the Warren, we didn't do anything wrong line, please! Get over yourself, buddy. It has long been said there was funny stuff going on at Warren. Many said that the reason why Kevin Wright left Warren to go to Tulsa Union was because there was some scrutiny of the practices going on there at Warren in the first place. Why would you leave Warren with a huge upside in National prominence to go to Union? Especially when you had the team that you did returning at Warren? The final #3 ranking by Warren last year is higher than any that KW had, so, are we to assume that Coach Tutsie just did a better job?
Sure, they had a national program already at Union, KW didn't have to teach-he was just the football coach and Athletic Dir.- he got a 100K job etc. Sounds like a pretty decent job to me!!
I guarantee you he isn't getting 100K as an assistant football coach. My father, until recently was an assistant at a Top 20 national football school and he wasn't getting anywhere near that-but I'll bet you think Western Kentucky is paying out that kind of money-huh? They just made Div-1, you dumba--, he also didn't have that job before he was fired... err resigned from Union. He did some inquiry as to jobs in the Indianpolis area (HSE, but that wasn't very attractive because they actually wanted him to teach! Not be just the football coach- Imagine that!)before going to WKU.
FYI, there were many kids in the "assisted" program or whatever you call it at Warren and maybe they needed to be in the program, but that does not change the facts that they must take a test to be admitted to the program, the testing was administered by the head football coaches wife and once admitted to the program, you really have to try to fail in order to not stay eligible. Maybe it's on the up and up- just like all the 7 ft. kids in Lawrence North is on the up and up too!
You are Wright about one thing...ooopps,(Freudian slip) right about one thing, KW didn't want to be there. He got there and there was turmoil from the start. His single wing one-dimensional offense sputtered badly. They got their ass handed to them on national TV.(It is a lot harder to run that offense when the other teams have really good players too!) Changed the offense quickly, and meandered to a lame record for the returning state champions! He sure was impressive! He tried the same s--- with the testing out there and the school board blew up! Before you run off at the mouth that nobody knows anything etc. My wife's uncle was/is a head coach in the area. The football coaching community is small out there, believe me everyone knew what was going on. Liz felt uncomfortable because of the heat on Kevin and wanted to go. Union was happy to accommodate.
College is where he should be anyway- he can recruit there without having to worry (unless he breaks those rules too)
But it looks like you have a good handle on the situation all the way from NC. Damn your good!
United States
#16 Jul 20, 2007
Boys, Boys! Why are you so upset? We all know how the IHSAA deals with things, the same as the NCAA.
THEY DON'T! And they do not want to until someone forces their hand. Do you really think the NCAA wanted to get involved when Kelvin Sampson cheated at Oklahoma? Do you really think they want to deal with Ball State? Of course not. They turn their head and hope it goes away until someone dumps it right in their laps!
#17 Jul 20, 2007
By the way- when you have "won" four championships instead of "one" four straight state championships, maybe you'll go to class too! Or are you won, oops, one of the special ed kids two, oops, to, oops, I mean, too! See what talking about Warren does to my writing skillz.... skills. Maybe I should go back to skool... err.. school at Warren and get a gud edumakation!!! You're still the smartest guy in Boone, NC though aren't you, Doctor!
#18 Jul 20, 2007
sorry i made a spelling error. actually i lived in indianapolis my entire life, just graduated from one of the top 20 liberal arts university's in the nation and now am working in the sports world, but i dont need to justify myself to someone like you who has absolutley no idea what they are talking about. its okay some people will just stay angry because their teams have never won a state championship or have never done anything that spectacular. get over yourself man, you are just envious of warren and their success, and really with kevin wright you have no idea what you are talking about. get your facts straight.
#19 Jul 20, 2007
Yeah, I guess recruiting out of 5th Grade is a real big issue in Terre Haute North or South is a real serious issue.
#20 Jul 20, 2007
Dyjuan Lewis is a hard working kid from pike high who gives you 100% on the court and is a good academic student in the class room on the court he has a good driving game thats helps him score easy buckets against bigger defenders because of his size he is also working on his jumpshot and has phenomenal defense man to man

Light-Weight Glasses Cure Jet Lag
Re-Timer spectacles emit light to reset the body's internal clock to advance or delay sleeping patterns.
Re-Timer glasses function as a wearable green light device to reset the body's internal clock by emitting a soft light onto the eyes. Invented by sleep psychologists at Flinders University in Australia and developed through 25 years of research, they help reduce jet lag, increase energy during long winter months, overcome sleeplessness, and manage fatigue if you're a shift worker.
The glasses have an ergonomic and lightweight design, with a rechargeable battery in the frame and a USB cable for charging. Their chief inventor, Professor Leon Lack, said the light stimulates the part of the brain responsible for regulating the 24-hour body clock:
Body clocks or circadian rhythms influence the timing of all our sleeping and waking patterns, alertness, performance levels and metabolism. Photoreceptors in our eyes detect sunlight, signal our brain to be awake and alert, and set our rhythms accordingly. These rhythms vary regularly over a 24-hour cycle. However, this process is often impaired by staying indoors, traveling to other times zones, working irregular hours, or a lack of sunlight during winter months.
He recommends wearing the glasses for 50 minutes every day for three days either in the morning to advance the body clock, or at night to delay it. Gizmag notes that the Re-Timer costs $258 from the website, which also offers a frequent flyer calculator that works out when to use the device to counter jet lag from your flight. Check out the video below for more info:

A leading life, and property and casualty insurer, American International Group (AIG) declared that it will redeem its outstanding 3.65% notes worth $500 million next month, much earlier than the scheduled expiry in 2014. The redemption date as settled by the company is Sep 9, 2013. American International will pay a principal amount of $1,000 and accrued and unpaid interest to the registered note holders on that date.
American International is focusing on deleveraging activities for some time now. The liability management initiatives of American International have helped it reduce debt by $931 million in the second quarter of 2013, reported recently. This included the $750 million 6.45% junior subordinated debenture redemption made by the company on Jun 17, 2013. As a result the debt to capital ratio of the company stood at 0.30x as of Jun 30, 2013, representing an improvement of 3 percentage points from that of 0.33x at year end 2012. The $500 million note redemption is expected to reduce the debt burden of the company further thereby improving its debt to capital ratio going forward.
The note redemption is also expected to reduce the interest expense of the company. In the second quarter of 2013 American International's interest expense declined 9.9% as a result of its debt reduction initiatives. Also, the redemption of the notes earlier to the scheduled expiry date signals the solid financial position of the company.
The financial strength of the company is also reflected by the regular dividend distribution and share buyback programs. On Aug 1, 2013, American International declared a quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share that is payable on Sep 26, 2013 to shareholders of record as of Sep 12, 2013. On the same date it authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program.
American International currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Among other insurers in the industry, AXA Group (AXAHY), CNO Financial Group Inc. (CNO) and Eastern Insurance Holdings Inc. (EIHI) all carry a favorable Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and appear impressive.

We can't promise you that we'll feature every car that gets submitted, but we encourage you to be creative with your answers, as that's always a good way to score some brownie points with us. Quality photos won't hurt your chances any, either, so please include up to five with your submission. Next up, and winner of this week's NGP Racing $50.00 gift certificate is VWvortex reader: KEINREISAIRKEWLD Q: How long have you owned this car? A: It's been titled since the summer of 2000. But this is not a car that we purchased – we built it from the ground up. Q: Is there anything unique about the history of this car? A: The one point I have always mentioned to everyone I have met is that she was built from the ground up in our garage. Tubes cut, bent and welded all within the confines of a garage being shared with my father's 1963 Beetle and my other toy at that time, a 1967 Myers Manx fiberglass dune buggy. Q: What was your objective with this car? A: In two words: road trip. I wanted a car that I could drive across the country with, get good gas mileage and really see what America is like. I have driven to Wisconsin before and have seen the plains of Indiana, but didn't smell the harvest being sowed. I have seen the waterfalls on the sides of the cliffs through the Blue Ridge mountain range, but wanted to feel the weather change between turns and have the water splash in my face – I want to be able to experience everything that makes this country great. Q: What tuning style would you describe this car as? A: My style. I have no really apparent style to lay claim to. Maybe clean or sand sport? I only design a car that I can tastefully build. Q: Who helped you build this car? A: Terry and Bonnie Coppens (my parents), Jim and Ray Neideheiser, and many of the good folks from TheSamba.com for when I could not find the answer myself. Q: What makes your car special? A: Ho about the fact I have driven just around 30,000 miles and have never had a problem with tuning that couldn't have been fixed with a flat head screwdriver? Q: What is your favorite part/feature/function? A: The engine, by far. She went from a humble 1600cc single port with just enough power to get out of her own way to one fine beast. She's now a healthy 2,276cc dual-carbureted hellion. She displaces more cubic centimeters than my Jetta and is more fun to drive. Q: Who or what inspired the direction of modifications on this car? A: It would have to have been my good high school buddy who rode a motorcycle everyday to school. He'd always be bragging about how every day, whether it be hot or cold, dry or raining, he would be able to experience what everyone else was merely seeing. Q: What don't you like about this car? A: I never thought of storage when building this car. Of all things considered, the glove box by far is the one thing I miss the most. Q: What would you change if you could? A: Nothing, except for a glovebox. I built it to tour and have fun with. I have never regretted any decision made when building up my toy. Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, how satisfied are you with the outcome of this project? A: By far a 10. This is the only toy I have that I can take my friends with or take with me on a road trip. Q: What would you do to the car if money were no object? A: I'd run a 5 speed transmission and a turbo set up for the engine. Q: Who has been your biggest critic of this project? A: My mom, by always asking why I did this and that. Q: What do your family and friends say about this car? A: Friends: That's legal for the street? Parents: So when are we gonna be able to go out this weekend?? Q: What is your favorite place to drive this car? A: The Tail of the Dragon, at a cruising pace. Q: What is your ideal day with this car? A: Driving up and down A1A in Florida, just taking in the fresh beach air. Q: Who gets to drive this car? A: Three very close friends. Me, Myself and I. Q: If your car had a motto, what would it be? A: "Get Railed!" Q: What was your previous project? A: My Myers Manx. Q: What is your next project? A: A 1966 Beetle Convertible – color to be decided. Q: What one word best describes your car? A: Wow.

Rerouting vent, changing pipe type
Hey guys, I would like to reroute the vent pipe as it runs horizontally thru my attic. It is copper and the outside measures about 2 1/16" or 2 1/8". I just want to reroute it over to the side so that it doesn't run right across the open area where I'd like to put flooring down.
My plan was to cut the copper pipe, take it to the scrap yard, and replace it with PVC pipe (and pocket the rest of the scrap money) :thumbsup:
What PVC pipe should I use for this? If I use 2", then the outside diameter of the PVC would be bigger than the OD of the copper. I was planning on using a Fernco/NoHub to connect the copper to PVC on each side.
easily done, there is a nohub made specifically for this. you can also use a 2x1.5 fernco. its a little tougher to get on, but it'll go. the nohub you should be able to get at any plumbing supply (HD probably won't have this)
Ok, great, so if I go to a plumbing supply house they will know exactly what I mean?
I kinda figured that I wasn't the first person to try and do this so there had to be an easy way out. :thumbup:
you'll ask for a 2" plastic by 2" copper nohub coupling. I've seen one parts house that didn't know what a nohub was, when I called it a shielded coupling he jumped right up and ran to get it :thumbsup:
Thanks for the info!
I looked them up and they are listed for copper to cast. Will this work for copper to PVC? I assume the outside diameter of cast is about the same as PVC?
You might want to check local code for the vent pipe size. In my town, they want 3" protruding up from the roof.

the difference in size on a 2" pipe is really small, it'll work just fine. it only really matters for 3" and above
Thanks guys!

What Happened to Sudan and the People? (Part One)
In the 70's when Yugoslavia not only still existed, but its economical and political might and international fame were at their highest peak, the agricultural expo in my hometown of Novi Sad was the second most important exhibition event of its kind in Europe.
My mother was working as an official interpreter for the Hungarian delegation during the exhibition, so we would daily accompany her with my uncle; and every day I would hardly wait to cross the gates, and leaving the two grownups behind separate my way from them and rush to the Africa Hall. And every day I would enter the Africa Hall with the same excitement, as if I was seing it for the first time; the kind of excitement only the 7-8 year-olds can feel. Even if blindfolded I would have found my way to the Sudanese booth.
And there I was already expected, just as one would expect the arrival of a British train with minutely precision. Expected by Sudanese whom I previously knew and knew not: my father's fellows since their days at university from some decade ago, or so; Sudanese officials from the embassy, and the members of the delegation which brought the exhibition material from the fatherland; and of course those who came just to attend for fun and pleasure, the Sudanese studying and working all over Europe, who would gather in Novi Sad for this occasion. The European Union did not exist yet, but travelling all across Europe was easy those days for the Sudanese, their passport was highly respected, just as their country was; visas - if required at all - were easily obtained at the border crossings, as one was travelling.
The Sudanese booth, beside the standard semi-processed and processed agricultural and food items, was fully packed with colourful, and for the European eyes exotic produce: raw cotton, arabic gum, sesame, raw husked peanuts, mangoes, pineapple, hibiscus, myriad of spices, sandalwood, and all those hides and skins: lion, tiger, crocodile, snakes, antelope, zebra... A kid's heaven! How proud I was as I kept observing the astonishment, amusement and admiration in the eyes of the local and from faraway visitors. For many of them it was the first time to see and to be able to touch most of these goods. How lucky and privileged I felt for belonging to both worlds: of the host and the exhibitor.
There was a small but well organized Sudanese community in Novi Sad, of students and mainly doctors who remained after completing their studies. And they were highly regarded by the local population, which rightfully considered them as kind, well educated people who are perfectly clean, not implying to the immaculate personal hygiene and appearance rather than the internal qualities: honest, straight-forward, helpful and generous. And it was so easy to communicate with the Sudanese: all of them friendly, easy going; those living there for some time spoke fluently Serbian or Croatian, the newcomers had very good command of English.
For many years to come the exhibition and the embassy were my only links to the fatherland, other than my father and his small, ever-reducing circle of friends who remained there. Speaking of the embassy... Situated in the most luxurious area of the capital Belgrade, a palace that only the embassies of the UK, Germany, US and the USSR could compete with.
Then in the 80s, as I grew into a teenager, all of the sudden the Sudanese booth disappeared from the expo. In the following year the embassy was gone too... In the next two decades I've interacted with many Sudanese, mostly with expatriate family members, colleagues and friends in the UAE, but it is that early picture of Sudan and the Sudanese people that was imprinted in my brain as an adolescent, that remained of prevailing influence. So when I set my foot into Sudan for the first time in my life, it was that idealistic picture that I have compared everything to.
As we were approaching Khartoum, it was long after midnight when the airplane began descending, and my senses were telling me that something is not right. The year was 2004.

The year of the 'do little' Parliament
Dear Editor,
There is no shortage of goodwill in Guyana, especially at this time of year. Just turn the pages of this newspaper for the past week and you will see stories of people giving to the less fortunate, the elderly and to children. There are many more acts of kindness being displayed throughout the holiday season but which are not reported. To those who are extending a kind hand to others, we say well done.
For if that show of human compassion helps to change the life of just one person for the better, it would have been worth the effort. However, the spirit of giving has not been made easy for many because of the poor state of the economy.
In fact, there were many others who had wanted to give but were not able to do so because they could hardly provide for themselves. This is the sad state the poor and the working class found themselves in and the regime has not done anything to improve their lives.
We would be remiss if we did not express our deep concern for the future of the country and for the poor and the working class, especially for the fact that not much has changed during the past year for them. From all indications, this was a very bleak Christmas for many who are becoming poorer by the day.
During the last elections campaign, the vision of the three parties was presented to the nation. Now one year later we can safely say that none of them has delivered 10% of what they had promised the voters. The worst offender remains the government, since much more was expected from the political group which got the largest bloc of votes and as a consequence, executive power. Instead of delivering on their promises to reduce crime and illegal drug trafficking, end corruption, create jobs and develop the economy, government officials have been mired in one corruption scandal after the other but not a single individual has been charged.
Since taking office, the minority PPP regime has spent valuable time defending the incompetent Minister of Home Affairs, the fact that millions of taxpayers' money is unaccounted for by NICIL and the secrecy surrounding the building of the Marriott Hotel with taxpayers' money. It is now beyond a shadow of a doubt that President Donald Ramotar's policies are hurting the nation economically, socially and politically and for this reason we have concluded that he is a failure. He has not outlined the direction in which he wants to take the country or how he intends to lead.
What really is the vision of the people of Guy-ana? Their vision is to have a bright future, a reduction in crime, corruption and illegal drug trafficking, and to have a good and transparent government that will govern in the interest of all.
Their ambition is to build a strong middle class by accelerating human development in such a manner as to move a significant number of persons from the working class into the middle class. Even though the PPP's principle mantra is to provide opportunities, create jobs and provide safety for the people, among other things, they have not done anything so far other than to misuse state resources, and to help themselves, their relatives, friends and business buddies.
One year after the 2011 elections, the working class is further away from new opportunities, and continues to live in a very unhealthy, unsafe, corrupt, and crime-riddled society, thanks principally to the policies or the lack thereof by the government. But what have APNU and the AFC done to bring the PPP regime to the table of reason? Very little! They have not passed a single motion in parliament demanding a living wage for the workers, a reduction in the VAT to help the poor and the working class, jobs for the youths, a reduction in the Berbice River Bridge toll, and an increase in the old age pension from $10,000 to $15,000 per month. They have not been able to apply pressure on the minority PPP re-gime to establish the Public Procurement Commission and an Anti-Corruption Agency to name a few. Yes, the government got a knee-jerk reaction from the majority opposition on the 2012 Budget cuts, and if it wasn't for the diligence of the AFC exposing the APNU/PNC backroom deal they were about to make with the PPP on the Linden electricity rates, we suspect the PPP would have more money than they needed to squander. Of course we got the Rohee saga and a motion about the Marriott Hotel. But these are not enough as a scorecard for the 12 months of salary and duty-free concessions that each Parliamentarian receives. Why do the people of Plastic City continue to live in such wretched conditions and why are the residents of No 30 Village still without electricity?
The majority opposition is only as good its actions in Parliament to hold the regime in check. Parliament is not a chamber to draw a salary or to get fat on free food; it is a forum to change lives or rather to improve and not make worse the lives of the poor and the working class. It is beyond logic that the majority parliamentary opposition has not to date successfully piloted one motion which can reap rewards for the poor and the working class. Not one! We know that the PPP would not because they have abandoned the poor and the working class for their wealthy business buddies, or in French parlance, the nouveau riche.
Thus our classification of the 10th Parliament as a 'do little' institution is based on its outcomes and the performance, especially by the opposition.
Soon taxpayers may find it fitting to describe that Parliament as a waste of taxpayers' money rather than an institution to advance the betterment of the people. As the year closes, it is only appropriate for the parliamentarians to take stock of their year in office and truly ask themselves, what have they really done for the poor and the working class of Guyana? Well it is time for another parliamentary recess! Happy New Year to all.
Yours faithfully,
Asquith Rose

The Maine Municipal Association wrapped up their two-day conference Thursday.
Elected officials and other municipal employees were among those at the Augusta Civic Center for the annual convention. The hot topic of the two-day event; balancing budgets without cutting vital services and doing it with less money.
"At what level do municipal services reach a point where you can't go much lower without giving up things people expect to receive?" said Peter Nielsen, President of MMA and the Town Manager in Oakland.
Calais Mayor Marianne Moore also knows all too well the difficulties of balancing her budget without cutting necessary services.
"You know we're all faced with that same reality," Moore said. "Plus you're seeing your healthcare costs go up. you're seeing your fuel. The normal expenses have gone up and you're losing your revenues as well. So we're all faced with trying to make a balanced budget without having to reduce services."
Explaining some of those tough budgeting decisions to residents can be difficult which is why these folks are urging people to get more involved in the process.
"I mean I had a city council meeting last week that had 185 people at it," Moore said. "Like I said it was refreshing to see them come out and get involved and find out what's going on in the city."
The civic center was also full of vendors offering goods and services to municipalities. Nielsen said it's opportunities like this that allow private sector businesses to network with municipal leaders fostering potential business relationships.
"Well the importance to the Maine economy is evident all around us here. There's a lot of interplay between the businesses that are here and municipal officials that come seeking services with paving, with banking, with insurance with all kinds of supplies that municipalities need. There's an awful lot of people who depend on local government for their livelihood in the private sector," Nielsen said.
Organizers of the two-day conference say more than 2,000 people attended the event this year.

Gees...I am going to have to refresh/re-do my victim list so I can do some more baking.
You guys that can bake this stuff and then they disappear.......yeow.......maybe if I put them out on the street and marked them 'free'..........
My postman did thank me for the cookies though......I wonder...........04-07-2010, 10:09 PM #48
frugalfanny - I'm like you...I bake but its just my dad and I that eat them and we don't eat sweets very often so the baked goods will last eons lol.
Palooka - those bars sound yummy and it uses whole wheat flour! I'm debating on making those for April's challengeSponsored Links Remove Advertisements04-07-2010, 11:20 PM #49

OMG hahahaha - frugalFRANNY!! I'm sorry lol
Palooka - do you make them as the recipe listed or have you tweaked it? The one review said it was doughy...thats one thing I don't like/want and then another review was using apple sauce to make them chewy. Not sure which route I should try if I do try.04-08-2010, 12:36 AM #52
I've never made them but this recipe could sure be tweaked. I would use the banana for the fat replacement and not the peanut butter.04-08-2010, 01:14 AM #5304-08-2010, 01:35 AM #5404-11-2010, 09:25 PM #55
Ok...so for April's baking challenge I made 100% whole wheat almond & cranberry biscotti cookies. They didn't turn out as well as I had hoped but are still edible. The recipe I used could've used more almond flavoring and more sweetness. I did sub Splenda in for white sugar.
I need to re-make the biscotti again with my tweaks as well as my zuc bread from last month but I think my dad used the last of my zucs the other night for dinner!04-12-2010, 12:15 AM #56
They look yummy. How much Splenda did you use?04-12-2010, 01:27 AM #57
Original recipe said 1/3c sugar and as per the Splenda directions: use half in Splenda what the recipe calls for in regular white sugar.
I think I'm going to use the whole 1/3c of Splenda b/c honestly it tastes like over dried bread nuggets with chunks of cranberry & almond slivers in it. Can't taste the sweetness til you hit a cranberry. I need to ramp up the almond extract as well.04-12-2010, 01:33 AM #58
I love almond extract. Really didn't know how yummy it made things taste until I bought a cupcake cookbook.
I think Splenda can really be tricky with baking.04-12-2010, 01:50 AM #59
