One-Touch Call Block With dedicated Call Block buttons on both base unit and handset, it's easier than ever to block telemarketers, robocallers and others — even while the phone is ringing or while talking. A simple push of a button instantly registers the unwanted number into the phone's 250-number call block database, and you can manually register any number, any time you want.
Talking Caller ID When a call comes in the handset will announce the name of the caller.
Clearly Hear Who's Calling with Noise Reduction Whether someone's calling from a busy city street or inside from a raucous room, Noise Reduction automatically suppresses background interference while also enhancing voice tones for clearer, more comfortable conversation.
Keep Tabs On the Baby Day or Night With the built-in baby monitor, you'll always know your child is safe in their crib or room. When the child wakes up or starts crying, a monitoring handset in the baby's room sends an immediate alert to the system's base unit, and to any phone or cellphone number you store in the handset for optimal peace of mind in or out of the house.
Keep Talking When the Power Goes Out The phone's powerful battery backup system keeps you connected in the event of a power outage. And when you keep a charged handset in the base unit, you'll have up to 7 hours of talk time of battery power backup for making and receiving calls during power outages using other cordless handsets in the house. (Two AA-size rechargeable Ni-MH batteries not included.)
Find Household Keys in an Instant With a small, optional detector device on your household or car keychain, this Key Detector-ready phone system lets you quickly locate misplaced keys when you need them with a button on the cordless handsets.
Big, Bright LCDs for Maximum Readability Clearly and quickly see numbers, alerts and calling info in any light conditions on the base unit's large, high-contrast 2.5-inch LCD and on super-clear handset LCDs.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Complicated Menu The phones work great, the call block button is fantastic , the only problem for us older folks is the complicated menu to retrive blocked numbers, missed calls etc for the initial setup I had my 16 yr old grandson enter all my numbers of relatives, friends into groups etc

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great phone I love this phone!! I was so tired of getting pesky phone calls every 10-15 minutes all day, that I had to get something to solve this problem. I feel very powerful blocking all the calls. It's also a very good system.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Use of Menue I've had the phone system for about a week now, and like it very much. The only feature I don't like is having to enter codes to access many features. However I may be doing something wrong. If there is an easier way to access some of the features I'd appreciate a response. Thanking you in advance.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from works good, but has shortcomings A lot better range than previous Panasonic phones I have had. The range extender makes it even better. I miss that it has no indicator light on the handsets to alert you at a glance if you have a message on the answering machine. I also would like to know the IQ of a design engineer that designs a phone that if set face down on a desk--It presses the buttons!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Perfectly Fine Base unit mounts to wall closer than virtually all other wall mountable phones. Handsets are comfortable, clear conversations, no interference and very long range. If you follow the instructions, it's not hard to make adjustments to settings. I really like the simplicity of blocking unwanted calls -- press a button on the handset and that's it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Despite all the negative parts of comments I read this unit does everything that we wanted it to do. My wife has a hearing problem but she can hear just fine with this phone.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Easy to Set Up Phones These phones replace an older version. They were easy to set up and even though I am hearing impaired I can use them successfully. They arrived promptly and in excellent condition. My only negative is the date and time must be re-set almost after each use. It loses minutes with each phone call. I wish they had a clock that set automatically once a phone call was received and the time held. With the time being off you can't be sure recorded messages were actually received when the recorder says they were. Other than that they would rate Excellent from me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Phonebook transfer Just got it and found I cannot transfer my phonebook from my old Panasonic to this. BIG disappointment. Loved my old phones and replaced because I figured it was due. Now I will have to spend a LOT of time copying all the 160 plus numbers.

Underground Brands : The Rise Of The Designer Capitalist?
NY Magazine carries a very important look at the activity and motivations of counter-culture capitalists in the US called 'The Brand Underground'. While we think author Rob walker is a tad too romantic when he suggests that modern bohemians are actually underground hustlers like aNYthing's A-Ron who are making dollars from sales of items created by their wry neo-brands (fueled by the internet); there is a huge amount of insight about modern entrepreneurs and tomorrow's business world.
And guys like A-Ron are supposed to know that better than anybody. Which is why the supposed counterculture nature of his brand might arouse some suspicion. Manufactured commodities are an artistic medium? Branding is a form of personal expression? Indie businesses are a means of dropping out? Turning your lifestyle into a business is rebellious?
And yet thousands and thousands of young people who are turned off by the world of shopping malls and Wal-Marts and who can't bear the thought of a 9-to-5 job are pursuing a path similar to A-Ron's. Some design furniture and housewares or leverage do-it-yourself-craft skills into businesses or simply convert their consumer taste into blog-enabled trend-spotting careers. Some make toys, paint sneakers or open gallerylike boutiques that specialize in the offerings of product-artists. Many of them clearly see what they are doing as not only noncorporate but also somehow anticorporate: making statements against the materialistic mainstream — but doing it with different forms of materialism. In other words, they see products and brands as viable forms of creative expression.
And on the meaning of these neo-brands from Daniel Casarella of Clothing brand Barking Irons:
It is often said that this generation of teenagers and 20-somethings is the most savvy one ever in its ability to critique and understand commercial persuasion, and it is probably true — just as it was true when the same thing was said of Generation X and of the baby boomers before that. (And it will no doubt be true when it is said, again, of those now in middle school.) But understanding or "seeing through" the branded world is not the same thing as rejecting it. What bothers Casarella about mainstream branding are big, blatant logos that turn the wearer into a walking advertisement and are supposed to function as simplistic "badges." That approach, he suggests, is what makes big brands as shallow as most Top 40 music or Hollywood movies. It is not that these forms are inherently bad; it is that they always seem built for the lowest common denominator, and the contemporary consumer demands more — more originality, more sincerity, more not-in-the-mainstream, a greater goal than just making money. That is what he sees Barking Irons as doing in the realm of the brand.
Barking Irons does have a logo, but it appears inside his T-shirts, where only the consumer sees it. That's the way, Dan Casarella maintains, to make a deep connection. If it seems a little incongruous to combat superficiality by way of T-shirts that retail for $60 or more at Barneys or A-list boutiques, well, in his view, that's the best place to find an audience that "gets it." When Casarella declares that his project is part of a "revolution against branding," what he really means is not the snuffing out of commercial expression but an elevation of it.
On the training you need to run a neo-brand:
It is impossible to overstate the number of tiny streetwear brands with names like Crooks & Castles or Married to the Mob that are working variations on this territory. And it is easy to see the attraction for the new upstart branders that seem to jump into this realm every day. You don't have to worry about the credentialing procedures that now define the traditional high arts, like getting a master's degree from a well-connected art school or hobnobbing on the writer-retreat circuit. For people like Ben and Bobby Hundreds (or the Casarellas or A-Ron), you don't even need to study marketing. Their apprenticeship was the act of growing up in a thoroughly commercialized world.
Much of this sentiment reminds us of something David Gensler wrote about in his magazine, Royal Magazine – a journal he claims to have created for Designer Capitalists. He said,
"The money made me do it."
Welcome to a new era, a time of limitless luxury never before seen by any other generation, anywhere, at any point.
Through the aid of technology, we can access a truly global market, command a massive audience, and shatter the control that the old, dying corporate machine has on youth culture.
Enter the new Designer Capitalist. They are the vanguards of a new wave of thinking, a cut and paste aesthetic, and new methods of production, marketing and distribution.
For PSFK, it's as if these brands and 'hustlers' are taking advantage of a huge failing by larger brands to remain connected to their customer base. Large brands have become 'corporate' and 'soulless' with every move being analyzed to understand the impact on marketshare and bottom-line – not on the relationship between brand and consumer. These neo-brands and their designer capitalists believe that the brand is at the heart of their organization and it's this concept that motivates their products, marketing and fuels the tight-relationships they have with their consumers.

I recently finished up casting over 20 dozen foam decoy heads from a 5 gallon kit of 12 lb density two part foam. The heads are a mix of puddlers, divers, and some goose heads. After some research I decided to use a restle coating on the heads.
The coating is simply placing a glue on the head and then spreading a coating of fine wood dust or fine ground corn cob over the glue. You hang the heads to dry. Once they are dry you dilute the glue with water at a ratio of 60 percent to 40 percent and brush on another coating of glue.
The Restle Coat leaves a very hard, tough textured finish on the heads.

A Livingston County native who became a police officer died following a weekend shooting in Norfork, Va.
Brian Wayne Jones, 34, a Norfolk police officer, was fatally shot after responding to reports of a man shooting at cars along a street late Friday. He was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, where he died Saturday. (Obituary, 8A)
Jones and an off-duty police officer exchanged gunfire with suspected gunman James Brown, 29, who attempted to escape in his vehicle. Brown was later fatally shot by officers. One of the bullets from Brown's gun struck and killed Mark Rodriguez, 17, who was sitting in his own car, according to The Virginian-Pilot.
Jones was a five-year veteran of the Norfolk Police Department. He was assigned to the traffic unit, crime prevention unit and the third patrol division and a member of the Norfolk Police Honor Guard. Jones was a member of the Norfolk Fraternal Order of Police 3 Commodore Lodge and attended the Potters House Church in Norfolk.
He was the son of Gary and Charlotte Jones of Salem and grew up in Livingston County. After graduating from high school, he joined the U.S. Navy and served from 1999 to 2007.
Jones was a member of Lola Pentecostal Church in Salem, beginning as a child in Bible class, and preached for the congregation when he visited his hometown, according to family friend Robert Arflack. He said Jones was doing what he loved and grew up with the dream of becoming a state trooper.
"He was just a lovable guy, everyone loved him," he said. "He was an all-around great Christian man, who loved his wife, kids and his job."
Jones leaves wife Rebekah Jones and children Bryson Jones, 8, Mariah Jones, 6, and Kyler Jones, 3, all of Norfolk.

Roane County - Mountains near Spencer
Two experienced hunters have claimed to have encountered a strange beast in the mountains around Spencer W.Va. On a winter hunting/camping excursion they were awakened one night when the beast wandered down the hillside and into their camp making a blood-curdling demonic growl. While debating as to who would go to get a gun out of their truck the beast moved on into the night unseen. Tracking at daybreak they followed the beast's path through the brush but soon lost the trail. They estimated by its tracks and the trail it left that it was very large and probably walked on two feet. Many who heard the tale believed it to be untrue until another person encountered the beast nearly 20 years later in the mountains just south of the hunters' camp.

The Chiefland Police Chief awarded one city police officer with the Medal of Valor on Monday, for his actions during an attempted traffic stop in the early morning hours of Feb. 26.
Chiefland Police Officer Kyle Schultz attempted to stop a silver SUV for a traffic infraction near southeast Fourth Avenue. The vehicle continued onto southwest Second Drive when a back-seat passenger fled the scene, according to a press release from the Chiefland Police Department.
The District 1A-7 softball tournament, hosted at Chiefland Middle High School, kicks off Monday April 24 and finishes with its championship game on Friday April 28 in Chiefland.
The Lady Indians are coming off back-to-back district championships and three-straight Class 1A state titles.
In 2014, CMHS lost in the district finals to Dixie County, before knocking off the Bears 3-2 in the regional playoffs, setting the stage for the team's first state championship.
Facing a 6-2 deficit, the Chiefland softball team poured on five runs in the third inning and then eight in the fourth en route to a 16-6 win against Dixie County last Thursday.
The Lady Indians trailed despite getting a solo home run from Lauren Parker in the opening inning and doubles by Emily Hallman and Macie Thomas over the first pair of frames.
An inning that included a little bit of everything from the Chiefland offense helped catapult the Indians past Dixie County for an 11-2 win in district play last Tuesday in Chiefland.
Chiefland, which collected a 7-4 win at Newberry Monday, finished 1A-7 play at 4-6 and sat at 8-6 overall heading into its game at Alachua-Santa Fe on Tuesday.
The Bears were 4-5 in district action (11-8 overall) before their final district tilt Tuesday versus Bell.
The Chiefland softball team had some regrets coming out of its second meeting with Trenton last Friday.
The Lady Indians failed to score nine of their base runners in the final four frames, as they again struggled to put runs on the board against the Lady Tigers even when the bats were warming up.
But when it comes to the rivalry clash between the reigning three-time state champions and the newly-minted No. 1 team in the state, respective sides will take what they can get.
The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Tri-County Chapter 63 is sponsoring a Poker Run and Raffle to raise money for our local veterans.
The event will be April 22 starting at Beef O' Brady's of Chiefland with a few stops before it ends at Willard's Restaurant & Lounge in Morriston. There is still ample time for businesses to become serious supporters by donating a product or a monetary donation.

A thunderstorm flooded Chiefland High School's campus April 4, leaving water inches deep on all the sidewalks, parking lots and other walkways such as the field leading to the ag shop.
It is possible there was as much as 7 inches of rain that day and while it caused many issues for students and teachers throughout the day, Chiefland High School did everything possible to keep their students safe and dry.
Two people were killed April 14 when the driver of one car ran a stop sign and crashed broadside into the driver's side of a second car.
Jessica Lea Raquet, 32, and Joy Lea Raquet, 55, both of Homosassa, were pronounced deceased at the scene by Levy County Fire Rescue. A third occupant, 9-year-old Mylea Raquet, was transported to Shands in serious condition, according to a press release from the Florida Highway Patrol.
The 2017 Suwannee River Livestock Show and Sale surpassed 2016 totals with $926,080 paid to FFA and 4-H exhibitors.
The two-weeklong show concluded March 22 with an auction of 357 hogs and steers. The total number of livestock sold was down from 385, but more than the $918,000 sold the previous year.
Marti Smith, Suwannee River Livestock Show and Sale bookkeeper, said there were 233 hogs, 42 fat steers and 82 feeder steers sold this year. That does not count other livestock, such as sheep, that were sold, but not at the auction.
LIVE OAK — Area residents and governments will have the opportunity to review updated mapping information to better prepare and protect homeowners and communities in the event of flooding.
The Suwannee River Water Management District, Federal Emergency Management Agency and Florida Department of Emergency Management are hosting open house meetings for residents and officials in Dixie, Levy and Taylor counties during the month of April to review the proposed Flood Insurance Rate Maps and answer questions.

Compare Volkswagen Garages and Specialists in Balham with Who Can Fix My Car.
Very nice guy that provided quick replacement of a window regulator on my Skoda for the price quoted. Would definitely recommend and will be using him again.
The service I recieved was really good but they weren't able to fix the fault
Very happy with the garage!
good efficient service with pick up and drop off and constant updates.
Had a service and MOT done by Ross Motors and I can highly recommend them, great customer service and honest talking. I will definitely go back when needed.
Good team, the only problem that i don't like , it's the 2 hits that i have on my car. And they didnt Told me that the dmg the car. I saw that when i just arive home.
I had to cancel the appointment. Nevertheless, I have been there a couple of times and they are always so nice and friendly they are just amazing. See you next time.
Roberto was very helpful and found that the advice I'd been given by Halfords was incorrect - and that all my car required was a very simple fix. Thoroughly recommended.
I highly recommend using this garage, Roberto was very friendly and really helpful. I handed my car over in the morning and it was ready for collection a few hours later. I was kept informed about the work that was needed and at what cost before it was carried out. After the work was done Roberto showed me what was done and made sure I was happy before I left.
Eagle Autos were fantastic from the beginning, from the phone to meeting in person. They were helpful by explaining my problems in detail and making it easy for me to understand. Much to my surprise they finished the job on my car very quickly, And I could feel all the improvements the moment I drove away from the garage. I won't be going to anyone else for future problems. No.1 garage!
Very good. Would recommend. Very friendly staff.
Extremely professional, nice and friendly an cost-effective! They did an amazing job and the AC is now working perfectly. Definitely the place where I will take my car next time.
I spend over 700£ to fixed my problem for warm start problem and non of the local garage tried to figure out but i came through mc auto and found the problem and fixed the problem easily i would definitely recommend this garage to my friends
Excellent friendly service. The garage pointed out an additional problem that could be fixed at the same time but put me under no pressure to do.
Very friendly staff, and efficient.would recommend to friends !! Always Keeps You Informed excellent price and never ever try and rip you off.
The best garage in the UK.. Affordable prices with the best service.. thanks a lot Carl, Winston and Ringer.. you guy are angels
Took the car to Exxcutive Motors in Camberwell and they took my steering wheel off and made the car worse than it was before and when i asked them to fix it back they couldn't now i have to spend £2000 to reset my ecu and get everything sorted out again I WOULD NOT USE THEM AGAIN
Yes prompt service and reasonably priced.
Terrible service. Scammers never did the work. They just polished my old parts and pit them back on.
Executive Motor Service was quick, reliable and cheap and very friendly team. Took my car in on the Thursday afternoon and the job was done by 12 pm Saturday afternoon. Looks brand new and no extra cost definitely recommend these guys Darren C
Got car MOT'd and serviced by Sloane Services. It was more expensive than the online quote, but that was because it needed two new shocks and two tyres, and fitting the shocks was a lot more labour. So it was good value, and it was done to time and they were a pleasure to deal with.
Helpful at providing advice!
Nice people, happy with the work, would use again
Polite and friendly. They were readily available and serviced my car in just a couple of hours. They did replace the wiper blades without first asking to an additional cost of £50 which was annoying but i suppose they needed a change. All in all, a useful service. Thanks.
Excellent service and really good value. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone who requires some body work. They were great.
Friendly and efficient service, wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Paul was really helpful and had the fan and re-wiring done within a couple of hours and I picked my car up the same day. They also cleaned it for me which was an added bonus and greatly appreciated! Im sticking with this garage from now on!
Like most car owners, I have my preferred garage but tried Paul and his team when my usual place couldn't urgently schedule a repair to pass an MOT. Paul took the car in the next day, talked me through the whole process, gave me options and completed an excellent job exactly when he said he would. Would highly recommend.
I have used Paul and Central Car Care a number of times now. They offer a fantastic service and nothing is too much of an issue for the customer. The only surprise is the cost, given they are in Kensington..... always value for money! Thanks again.
Tried the suggested remedies but didn't solve the problem.

Does Your Company Have A Customer Experience Strategy? No, Really
Posted by Harley Manning on September 5, 2012
Here's a typical conversation we have with businesspeople when trying to gauge the level of customer experience maturity at their company:
Forrester analyst: "Do you have a customer experience strategy?"
Manager: "We sure do!"
Forrester analyst: "Great! What's in it? What's the intended experience that it describes?"
Manager: "Well, uh, hmmm… You know, maybe we don't have a customer experience strategy."
The fact is, people at most companies are in the same boat as that manager (or director or VP or SVP or…). Why? For the most part, it's because it never occurred to them that customer experience – like other business disciplines such as marketing and branding – requires a strategy to keep it on track.
Here's why your organization needs a customer experience strategy: Without one, you'll tend to mix and match best practices that may be great for someone but don't align at all with the customer experience that you want to deliver.
People love those genius bars in Apple stores, right? And Apple is known for delivering a great customer experience. So why doesn't Costco put genius bars in their stores? Simple: A genius bar provides an experience that aligns with Apple's overall strategy of differentiating through innovation but flies in the face of Costco's overarching strategy to be a cost leader.
That type of mistake may seem obvious. However, our research uncovers missteps like that one on a regular basis. For example, we profile wireless services company T-Mobile Germany in our new book, Outside In. At one point, it had call center agents spending extra time trying to "delight" customers – even customers with low-cost plans. Guess what giving a high level of personal attention to customers with bare bones products accomplished? It confused the heck out of them. (And a smart executive at T-Mobile figured that out and changed the strategy.)
How do you know when you have a real customer experience strategy and that you're using it to stay on track? You just need to be able to answer "yes" to these four questions:
1) Does your customer experience strategy describe the customer experience you want to deliver – in detail?
2) Does your customer experience strategy align with your overall company strategy?
3) Does your customer experience strategy align with your company's brand attributes?
4) Have you shared the customer experience strategy with all employees (e.g., distribute documentation, conduct training sessions)?
For an example of how Holiday Inn used customer experience strategy to re-invent and save an important part of its business, check out this video by my co-author, Kerry Bodine. And if you'd like to share examples of how you've used CX strategy to help your business profit, drop us a line – you could end up as the subject of an upcoming post!
Customer Experience Day
Comment from Zippy Shell (not verified) on Thu, 03/07/2013 - 11:38
Great article! When developing a customer experience strategy, a business has to consider their overall brand voice and business strategy. Consistency is one of the most important aspects of brand voice and messaging. One thing many business should consider when developing their customer experience strategy is working a customer experience day, or customer appreciation day, into the budget. When a business hosts an event, or sponsors one, it allows the chance to talk with their customers in a friendly and informal environment. In giving your customers a positive experience that they will remember, the business can increase brand awareness as well as loyalty. Grow your business and have fun at the same time!

Re: Ranger 23 Keel Wobble Advice
Sal, I understand what you are saying. I have a few things to check into:
First: Keel Bolt Tension (although I think it is OK)
Second: check the Rigging Tension.
Third: Assess how much flexing to too much (this is the tough part).
Forth: Assess the integrity of the existing fiberglass (may require a moisture meter).
Fifth: After I have checked into the above items, determine if I have to reinforce.
Sixth: If I do reinforce, determine flexing needed in the structure (just glass/glass and stringers/appropriate area to grind down and build up)
Seventh: Buy a different boat?
The good news is that I have the winter to figure this out. I do appreciate all of the help that this forum has offered as well as the people who have even offered to take a look! This forum clearly has a great group of people!
Re: Ranger 23 Keel Wobble Advice
exactly sal...
|Sal Paradise
Re: Ranger 23 Keel Wobble Advice
I'm not a naval architect, but I am an architect and I do bit of structural design. If in fact your hull is flexing transverse about the keel and you find nothing obviously loose or broken, and you decide to repair it yourself - you do not want to creat a short ( or narrow) , stiff repair. That could propogate a crack right where the stiff repair ends. You want to spread the bending moment out port to starboard and allow the keel bending moment to be spread until the stress is low enough to be transferred into the original hull evenly. That means the repair is going to be wider.
Re: Ranger 23 Keel Wobble Advice
This is some interesting advice. I must admit that I didn't think about the rigging. I do tend to run the rigging pretty tight, however, it is worth checking into. I will also double check the keel bolts this weekend. Also this boat has a deck stepped mast. The step on the R23 is on a solid fiberglass beam, (not cored with wood)
Harmonic, any pictures of the work that you did? It sounds like what I have been considering. I grew up doing glass work, however, I am thinking of that as a last resort.
Re: Ranger 23 Keel Wobble Advice
Another resource for this question may be found over on the cruising forum of sailing anarchy. I recall a guy who goes by memopad has a ranger with the same problem and posted about his experience. Boomer is on the same forum and had a lot of time on Rangers too.
Re: Ranger 23 Keel Wobble Advice
Aha! Thanks for revealing the the secret to Leon Hillman's much vaunted racing success, the wobbly keel. I'm in the market for a hot boat but Yachtworld.com doesn't support a "wobbly keel" search.
Re: Ranger 23 Keel Wobble Advice
truer words have never been spoken...(the part about yogi, not me! jajaja)
good stuff lillia28
Re: Ranger 23 Keel Wobble Advice
Sounds like a man who knows what he is talking about.
As Yogi said
In theory, theory and practice are the same thing.
In practice, they aren't.
Re: Ranger 23 Keel Wobble Advice
here is my take on it...definetly DONT have to listen or whatever...
I had this exact same scenario on my Islander excalibur 26
the excalibur 26 was ahead of its day back in the 60s, in fact it was the little sister to the cal 40, another LIGHT displacement boat in its day...
when I redid the rigging on my excalibur I took the boat back to my dock and almost had a heart attack when I got off the boat(unrigged)
this is an important point
the keel on the excalibur 26 is deep, thin and quite big...
when I would walk on the side decks I coul not only feel the keel wobble but the bilges would move and creek...in other words the floor boards where either getting moved side to side...or up and down...depending on how extreme the angle was...
so I had a friend move aroound on the boat and I could see the whole bilge and keel move laterally!
I got so freaked out I did nothing for like a month...
sooooo I called one of the best surveyors in town...he took notice of it...then said RIG THE BOAT
step the mast and tension rig CORRECTLY per lapworth specs...
and guess what?
all movement gone
what happens is the thin (light displacement for that time fiberglass work) simply softens up a bit...
my boat had no keel bolts, basically the keel is hanging...the glass just works over 40 years and its not as stiff as it used to be...
I know this can seem as heresy but that does NOT mean your keel will fall off, with keel bolts even less....
just make sure yours bolts and nuts are up to spec and torque and take some test sails with correct rigging tension...
again this is just some advice to take doesnt mean it its exactly what you have going on but...take it with a grain if salt if you will...
if you do want to fix the flexiness there are a number of ways to do so...layup in the bilges and stringers...or even on the outside...etc...
remeber however that some fixes have adverse effects...too stiff here you crack somewhere else, to loose here and something gives...stiff and stronger is not ALWAYS better...there is a happy medium...
good luck
Re: Ranger 23 Keel Wobble Advice
Do a google search on Ranger 23 hull. There is a thread on sailboat owners that describes something similar. Also check the R23 group on Yahoo. I have a feeling this is not unique to your boat. There may be proven fixes.
in Spurr's Guide he discusses ways to avoid "oil canning" or "panting" of the hull, which if I understand correctly is the walls of the hull flexing in and out. The would wiggle the keel. The "cure" is to bond in some longitudinal stringers, such as wood battens or stiff PVC hose, to give the sides more strength. It doesn't sound difficult, or expensive, just labor intensive as you have to clear the liner away to get at the hull. If it is in fact a common issue, and the boat has survived all this time, leaving it alone doesn't sound so bad. Can you get in touch with the original owner? He may have some in sights. If the boat is not leaking, and the hull is otherwise in good condition I don't think it is a terminal issue. My first post on here was about an O'Day 28 that had sat on the hard so long, the stands pushed the starboard quarter into a decent sized dent. The yard owner and several on here suggested it was no big deal, and in fact after I passed and another bought it, the hull "popped" on launching, and the boat is sailing fine. The more I research, the better I feel about this. Assuming you don't mind the work. If you dangle a cold Guinness in front of me, I can be talked into almost anything.

text: BLUE BELL, Pa., Nov. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that Air China Cargo, China's flagship airline, has successfully transitioned to the Unisys Logistics Management System (LMS) delivered by Unisys client TravelSky as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. Air China Cargo is also using TravelSky's new booking and shipment management portal, China Cargo Sky Portal, that is based on the Unisys Cargo Portal Services software. As the two portals share the same core software, Unisys and TravelSky are able to interconnect them to offer clients access to more carriers and forwarders in a one stop air cargo booking site. With the addition of Air China Cargo, Unisys logistics solutions are used by carriers that move about 30 percent of the world's air cargo. TravelSky is the leading provider of information technology solutions for China's air travel and tourism industry. It operates the Unisys Logistics Management System (LMS), In-transit Service Manager (ISM) and Cargo Portal Services (CPS), which TravelSky offers to China's airlines via a SaaS model from a Unisys secure private cloud environment hosted in Beijing. Air China is the first TravelSky client airline to sign up for the new SaaS cargo services. Unisys provided implementation, business process engineering and training services, and customized LMS to meet local rules and requirements for domestic cargo shipments within China. TravelSky managed the localization and integration of systems such as the Air China Cargo flight operation system and Chinese Customs. "The software-as-a-service model enabled us to quickly transition to the Unisys cargo system in just six months," said Raymond So, vice president operation and services, Air China Cargo. "This helped minimize implementation costs and allowed us to start using the new logistics solutions sooner. The intuitive design of the system made it easy to train our more than 1,000 users. Operationally, the cutover took just two weeks as we decommissioned our old system and took new bookings on the new systems. The transition went very smoothly thanks to the support from TravelSky and Unisys."


text: KANSAS CITY, Kan., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- While flowers, dinner and chocolate work as gifts for some couples this Valentine's Day, one Kansas City couple had a very unique gift experience. Taesha Benson granted her boyfriend, Travis Spire-Sweet, the ultimate gift of love: her left kidney. Travis, an acupuncturist, had suffered chronic kidney problems since birth. Having been born with only 25 percent of a functioning kidney, Travis wasn't expected to live past his first birthday. After learning to cope with chronic pain and discomfort, Travis became an advocate for other patients suffering from kidney disease. He had been on the deceased donor list for more than a year. Now, thanks to the donation of Taesha's kidney, which was a perfect match, Travis can look forward to a healthier and longer life. It's estimated that 69.3 percent of patients who received a kidney transplant are still alive five years after their surgery, according to 2009 statistics provided the Department of Health and Human Services. The kidney transplant surgery was performed last week at The University of Kansas Hospital, and both Travis, age 30, and Taesha, age 32, are already home from the hospital and recovering well from the procedures. Even beyond their relationship, Taesha knew being a living donor was the right decision for her. "Initially you think, 'How could I do that? I don't have it in me,'" she said. "But over time I got to know Travis and his love of life. Not many people come along who have his integrity, character, and optimism. Travis just happens to be my boyfriend. He has provided me with a new love of life." February 14 is universally recognized as Valentine's Day, but few are aware that National Donor Day is also celebrated that day. Established in 1998, National Donor Day is a time to raise awareness about the importance of organ and tissue donation. According to HHS statistics, an average of 18 people die each day waiting for transplants because of a shortage of donated organs. But thanks to living donors like Taesha and the compassion of deceased donors, each day an average of 79 people are able to secure life-saving organ or tissue transplants.

Sheryl Crow: "I Have a Brain Tumor"
Grammy award-winner Sheryl Crow recently announced that she has been diagnosed with a common form of brain tumor called a meningioma.
The 50-year-old released the news on Monday night (June 4) to a Las Vegas reporter, but thankfully, the tumor is benign.
"I worried about my memory so much that I went and got an MRI. And I found out I have a brain tumor," Crow told Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Doug Elfman.
"And I was, like, 'See? I knew there was something wrong,'" she joked. "I haven't really talked about it...But it's benign, so I don't have to worry about it. But it gives me a fit."
A rep for the singer added , ""[Crow] has no symptoms and everything is fine. It was a random mention during the [Vegas] interview. It was not meant to alarm anyone. She is doing great and is healthy and happy."

Ratings for Dr. Edward J. Zampella
Memorable doctor, start to finish.. at a difficukt tome,was really a rock.
I had cervical spine surgery and Dr. Zampella was excellent at explaining the what and why, spent whatever time was necessary with me. The outcome of the surgery was very good although I may need a second operation (which I was told up front). His follow up and bedside manner are quite excellent.
Dr Zampella diagnosed and operated on my brain tumor. I was paralysed before the surgery, but regained full use of my arm.He was kind, compassionate, and was always there for me. Another surgeon had told me my tumor was "inoperable". I heard recently that Dr Zampella was sick himself. I pray that he will be better so that he can help others like he helped me.
Dr. Zampella gave me my life back!! GOD BLESS HIM!!.. I met him and he explained to me what I had and how I could fix it. I had 2 herniated discs pinching on my sciatic nerve. he operated on me and i was walking with no problems to the bathroom 4 hours after i got to my room and i was back at work for my 3rd week of being operated. It is now my 5th week after surgery and am able to live totally better. He has followed up with me to see how I am feeling and always answers any question i have. May god bless him!!
DrZampella gave me my life back, I was nearly crippled from spinal stenosis. He operated on me and I was home in 72 hours. The relief of pain was miraculous.
Excellent and caring physician. He listened to me, examined me and my MRI, then arrived at a diagnosis. I was scared to death about my surgery, but he took the time to reassure me. I had the surgery and was back on my feet in no time. I love this man!!!!!!!!!!

"Pretty good recipe, although there was not enough liquid in it to get it to boil...I ended up adding another cup of water to provide more liquid. The flavor was pretty good, albeit a little spicy. A great way to prepare zucchini!"

Before I experienced my first black man, I, probably like a lot of white wives, had a secret fantasy of being fucked by a one. My husband & I were having problems and one day I posted my secret desire on a Yahoo group.
I received a number of responses but one man stood out. He was mature, also married and seemed very sweet. We exchanged a few e-mails before finally agreeing to meet.
Our first meeting was to be for coffee only at a restaurant far from both of our homes. We were both very nervous but I was very taken by him. In spite of our coffee only agreement he invited me to his home.
I had to duck down in the car seat till we pulled into his garage and the moment the garage door shut his hands were all over me. We kissed and he played with my tits.
I was soon naked from the waist up and thought he was going to fuck me right there in his car. However he took me inside the house and finished undressing me in the kitchen. Naked he lead me to a bedroom and had me lay on the bed.
He kissed me some more, all the while playing with my titties & pussy. Finally he went down on me and ate my pussy till I had a huge orgasm. I then preformed oral on him till he mounted me and gave me one hell of a fucking.
I would have loved to have had him fuck me again but he was concerned about some one coming home. I put my jeans & panties back on and we went back to his car. I put my bra & blouse back on.
I then ducked down in the seat again (I was so tempted to suck his cock while he was backing out of the drive but thought better of it) and he drove me back to my car.
He fucked me weekly after that for months, but then for reasons I still don't understand he just stopped. I hope my next encounter with a black man works out as good as my first black man!

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
It is possible to remove silicone oil from behind the retina although it can be very difficult.
I think the reason your retinal surgeon is not willing to do more surgery to remove any remaining subretinal oil is that your retina has experienced significant injury and it is unlikely that you would regain useful vision even if the silicone oil is removed.

The Importance of History & Life Lessons From Sao Paulo [PechaKucha]
The international design hub shares a presentation from a Brazilian entrepreneur who discusses what you can learn from your own past both personal and career-wise.
History is important, we can surely all agree on that, but with his presentation (from PKN Memphis Vol. 2) Justin Thompson wants to make sure we all get the message. Entrepreneur and graphic designer Gustavo Garcia uses his presentation (in Portuguese, from PKN Sao Paulo Vol. 10) to teach us 10 important life lessons, regarding work, jobs, life, career, and more.
The new posters on the Tumblr blog today are for PKN Moscow Vol. 19, PKN Columbus Vol. 22, and PKN Champaign-Urbana Vol. 10, which is the beautiful fully illustrated poster you see above.
Today we'll point you to photos from last month's PKN Tokyo Vol. 93, taken as always by Michael Holmes — we have galleries up on both Facebook and Flickr. Our Vol. 94 is coming up — on Wednesday of next week (July 25) — and since August is always a skip month for us here in Tokyo, it will be our last PKN of the summer.
It's a quiet Wednesday with no PKNs happening tonight, but tomorrow (July 19) you can look forward to St. Albert's very first PKN, as well as a special edition PKN in Chicago (more details in this post).

To All, pls give me the reason why sub clipping, it is overpowering or what?, I have 2 subs rated power 400w nominal, model TS-W306C pioneer. It was hook up to my GM-X924 with 150w RSM X 2, my freind say it's good but for me I think it is under powering, Now I change my Amp MRD-M605 Alpine rated power 400w RMS - 4ohm @ 14.4V and 600w RMS-2ohm @ 14.4v. My HU is also pioneer DEH-8650 and the RCA out put level is 6.5V. Even when I put the gail level of my Amp to 2.5V the clipping is still there when my main volume is at 50%. there is many adjustment in the amp but when I put the gain into 7V and the Bass EQ is in the highist level, No clipping but it's useless my Amp I'm not happy because I can not hear the power of the Amp. Pls give me the advice what I should do, replace the sub? or what. Thank's in advance

Curly bangs?
My hair is just below chin length with side-swept bangs that are about nose-length when totally straight.
For the past month or so, I've been wearing my hair wavy--which is how it is naturally in the winter--and straightening my bangs. I like how it looks, but I am getting a little sick of it. It usually looks like this:
(That was taken on vacation in Florida, so it's a little curlier than usual).
Anyway, I just bought some re:coil, though, and whoa is my hair curly! (No pic yet...) I really like it curly, but I can't get my bangs to look right. They look kind of strange straightened with the rest very curly, but they don't curl on their own, either.
Any suggestions on how to get my bangs to be curly? Any pics from people who wear their bangs curly?
I don't have pictures but I also have bangs that I normally blow straight. Now I am letting them go curly with the rest of my hair but it takes time. I guess blowing them straight for so long they have to learn to curl again. I started just pin curling them about 2 months ago and now they are pretty much curling on their own. Sometimes better than other times, but adding a little extra product helps too.
I agree that it just takes time for bangs that have been straightened for a long time to re-discover their own curl. If you used to blow-dry all of your hair straight, remember how long it took for the rest of your curls to re-emerge? Give your bangs a little time and little more pampering and an extra little boost of curl product, and they'll come around. :wink:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: would you buy a "holed" boat?
I would have no problem buying a boat with a hole in it. But that isn't to say I would even take a free boat with a hole. Depending on the extent of the repairs, and the other things wrong with it, while it may be possible to fix a boat from any condition, that doesn't mean it is economical to do so.
For instance, post Katrina my uncles Trip 40 was found in the parking lot of our yacht club. The boat was literly in three pieces, the keel snapped off, the transom was crushed by a tree, and the mast was wrapped around a light pole. This is all reparable damage, but a good used trip was $40,000 and the repair bill would have been more than a new one.
My fathers boat, an Irwin 54' looked pretty good. Just a lot of road rash, the dolphin striker pulled out of the boat, and a broken rudder. We passed on buying it back from the insurance company, but a guy bout it at auction for around $20,000. Since then it has had over $400,000 spet restoring it. While a good boat of the same year would cost 250-300. But as the work progressed they kept finding one more thing wrong with it....
On the other hand, a member of my club just bought a new j-22. It was at nationals this year and got T-boned. Went to Donnie Brennon (US Olympic teams boats right) for a $6,000 repair, and now the boat is in perfect shape.
To me it really depends on the extends of the damage, the cost of the repair, AND the amount a comparable boat in good condition would cost. Sometimes free boats really aren't free.
Re: would you buy a "holed" boat?
Buying a damaged boat would not put me off at all, but the whole point of buying a damaged boat is to get it for nothing, or next to nothing. Most times these boats are not economic to repair because it includes labor costs.
Lots of people abandon boats and the yards get them for free. Rather than repair a hole, I'd look for a good boat that just needs some clean up that is selling at auction at a boat yard. I wanted to bid on a Tartan 10. I was out of town for the auction. The fellow got it dirt cheap, cleaned it, repainted the boot and cove stripes, gave it some bottom paint and had a very nice boat for cheap.
For repair work, I have had my best success restoring a trailerable boat at my home.
Buying a project boat? I'd think seriously about investing in a trailer or modifying a used trailer for my purposes. Getting a new one built is expensive though. If you see a boat with a good galvanized trailer it is worth a lot. I once saw a triple axle trailer carrying a Catalina 30. It was a great idea and for someone keeping a boat for a long time, it saves a lot on storage. That boat is a bit too slow for me, but the idea has merit.
Doing your own work makes a difference but it has to be done fast. Yard fees will eat you alive. Moving the boat to you residence might be expensive in the short term, but cheap in the long term. Buying a set of poppets or building or modifying a trailer makes this easier too. Factor in the cost, but also consider the value of being able to store your boat at home. Even a boat on a trailer stored at a marina is cheaper than normal dry storage. They can stuff a trailer between two other boats and the yard is using space it could not otherwise use.
Any fiberglass boat can be repaired. I would avoid wooden boats, cold molded, or strip planked, etc.
The key is to pick a good boat to start with. A LeCompte Medalist is a good choice because the hulls are strong. Sabres are well built boats.
In some cases stripping out the entire interior is faster than trying to repair something.
A bigger boat? It is better to have help to get the hole fixed. Finding help is difficult and slow. Workers don't care about your yard fees, they charge a lot and don't work quickly. So the best help would be people you hire directly.
Then try to launch it quickly. It is cheaper to keep a boat in the water than in dry storage. Finish off the inside later.
Re: would you buy a "holed" boat?
denise, I once had a serious bid in on a Sabre 38 that had been storm damaged, a big flap knocked open by a seawall or piling after a hurricane.
What you have to do is figure the price of a proper repair, the inconvenience of it, the likelihood of making it right (often 100% with fiberglass) and then adjust the price. In my case, I'm pretty damn sure the guy who outbid me was nuts, there were just too many uncertainties about what the total repair would get into.
Way before that, I walked away from a "bargain" on an Albin Nimbus, where the PO had quite literally taken a chain saw to one of the ribs in the hull, apparently for better bilge drainage. I'm sure it was repairable, but I really didn't want to know how having one rib stiffer, or not as stiff, as the others might or might not affect the keel and the hull. And I didn't want to know where else his chainsaw might have gone.
Now a boat that looked DROPPED...I'd also pass on that one, no real telling where there's broken glass fibers inside the hull as things flexed.
It really all just depends on the uncertainties and the costs. Hey, maybe there's a reality TV show to be had in this. You know, like American Pickers and Pawn Stars and the storage locker buyers? "Treasure Ship!" :-)

The go fast boat had the whole bottom delam at high speed and sunk in California. These guys bought the salvage and toally reworked the transom and put a brand new bottom on her with with fiberglass mat, fiberglass cloth, resin, filler, gelcoat, and hard work. Looks brand new.
It's amazing what you can do with fiberglass.
I am doing some small hole repair on a Hobie 16 that I own. One's around softball sized. Then a couple of golfball sized holes as well. Very easy so far. They say the hard part is the prep. So I have that part all done. I start laying glass very soon. Hopefully next week.
I found a site called US Composites. They have very inexpensive resins, fillers, and gelcoat. Try them at: Fiberglass , Composites, Carbon Fiber - U.S. Composites, Inc.. You can find great deals on fiberglass cloth on ebay. Search: "fiberglass cloth"
I'm telling everyone I know doing fiberglass repair about these guys. I have no idea if you are considering doing it yourself or not but you never know. Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Now let us consider cost, the other area where you are badly mistaken. First, you can find holed boats for NOTHING. So the cost to repair is your only cost. That is much less than buying two or three other used boats, which will also need work--that much is certain.
If anyone is considering repairing a damaged boat. Start with a smaller boat, and when you find out how easy or hard, depending on your point of view, you can decided to take on bigger jobs.
Let me make one more point. There are lots of boats that were not designed all the great, but you can make changes to them to make them great boats. For example, changing dead-lights to portlights, installing a spade rudder, lengthening a boat or adding a scoop transom.
So ignore the above poster. He is one of the "Can't do it people, who has to convince everyone else not to do something, simply because he can't." There is nothing you can't do, up to and including building a boat from scratch.
would you buy a "holed" boat?
You should be able to fix up the wooden boat with 2 rolls of duct tape and 3 gallons of paint. I don't even think you could tell it was not new. Mind you, you will want to prep the surface really well. Maybe wash it or something...I don't know but the point is should'nt take more than $50 bucks. Looks like a bunch of minor cosmetic work to me.
|Our organisation turned the rusted out hulk lying on the bottom in the first picture back into the ship in the second picture. Anything is possible with time, money and a little skill.
|Or perhaps you'd like something in more traditional wood construction.
No hole reportedly - just a weeping cutlass bearing that was ignored for a couple of decades.

seek- the second red one isnt bad
Seek, a lot of people write that name. Just like that too...
I actually know someone in my city who writes almost the same kind of hand and a very similar throw to what you posted in the other thread.
I still think SEEB rocks that 'SEE' combo so hard that you don't have a chance in hell to work them letters any harder. Until then, your shit's gonna' just look like somebody elses. You got a lot to live up to.
Res, you need to paint one of those. Seriously. They're so clean.
Outta' respect I smash wack toys; put 'em out their misery and send 'em to that upper room. Knock! Knock! Who? Death, mothafucka'! BOOM!
Before I bang, I go and get high, homey.
here some sketches.. and my stuff for me and REWT's exchange....the fliks are shitty had to use my phone...its hard to tell but the last two are filled in silver and its hard to get a desent flik of it... and there is little shaded blue spot all through the black areas... wish i had a camera that didnt f*** up all the time lol but oh well...
*KRON- good letter structure but your lines are a little sloppy... work on your steady hand. but nice letters...
*AKOS- i like most of your stuff but work on your S's a bit... other then that good stuff...
*ABEONE- i like the character, but work on your can control. and with the sketches i like the styles but work on your fills...
*CYTO- the first e is kind lost... make your letters stand out... but then again maybe its just me.. but try to make your letters stand out... good style but needs work...
*DROPING- good style you need a little more hand control...your lines are a tad bit shakey
*RSE4- fill them i wanna see the rest of it lol
Weak's just sayin' that cause he likes the credited bite on the background.
Repetition is key. Memorize that shit. Then paint it.
And remember, you'll never progress if you don't paint. So paint. Even if it sucks. We learn from mistakes.
Outta' respect I smash wack toys; put 'em out their misery and send 'em to that upper room. Knock! Knock! Who? Death, mothafucka'! BOOM!
Before I bang, I go and get high, homey.

We (originally my fathers) used to have a beautiful Colt Python, .357magnum. I think it had a 6in barrel, honed trigger (2lbs). Was absolutely beautiful.
I rarely ever shot the thing and when I did it spit a lot of gun powder out of the cylinders. I traded it in for a Sig Trailside thinking it would see a lot more use and I would become a much better shooter w/ the extra range time. Trailside sucked.
Now I don't have a Trailside or a Python. :(
Just venting.


text: I started off trying to make an EE-3, but ended up making an EE-3 like blaster. It's made out of an old west style toy gun, an old wild planet spy listener, some vacuum cleaner attachments, and tape. I now it looks barely anything like an EE-3 but I made it from things I found around the house, and it took no longer than twenty minutes. I'm looking forward to find out what you guys think. I took off the stock and the fore grip and taped them together to make a longer stock.
