Pacific Symphony Presents HOLIDAY ORGAN SPECTACULAR, 12/17
Cascading notes swirl in a reverberating mural of majestic sounds as the William J. Gillespie Concert Organ fills the concert hall with the nostalgia of holiday classics during Pacific Symphony's annual "Holiday Organ Spectacular," part of the Pedals and Pipes series. The evening ignites with the talent of virtuoso organist Todd Wilson, Broadway soprano Lisa Vroman and accompanying Symphony principal musicians: Timothy Landauer, cello; Benjamin Smolen, flute; Barry Perkins, trumpet; and Mindy Ball, harp. Visiting the Symphony for the fourth year, Wilson, head of the organ department at The Cleveland Institute of Music and curator of the E.M. Skinner pipe organ at Severance Hall, also performs organ works by Bach, Widor, Carter and Purvis. This concert takes place one night only, Tuesday, Dec. 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets are $15-75; for more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.
"The music for this concert covers the gamut from warmly expressive to thrillingly virtuosic, and shows off every aspect of the great C.B. Fisk organ-every tone color from softest to loudest," says Wilson. "The pipe organ is a natural medium for holiday music and is a ready partner for voice and instruments. We have a number of fresh, new arrangements of holiday favorites on this year's program, and there is sure to be something to suit every taste!"
The program features treasured Christmas songs "The First Noel," "Ave Maria," "O Holy Night," "The Little Drummer Boy" and much more! Decorating the concert hall with good cheer, the audience is invited to join in singing along to popular holiday favorites "Deck the Halls," "Angels We Have Heard on High," "Silent Night" and "Joy to the World." Symphony musicians and Vroman guide the audience in an acoustic display of holiday fun.
"It's a real pleasure to collaborate with these superb and versatile performers," enthuses Wilson. "Lisa Vroman sings everything from the classics to Broadway with style and a real communicative flair. Barry, Mindy, Tim and Ben are all top-notch musicians and the variety of instrumental colors combines with the organ in all sorts of beautiful and exciting ways."

got around to installing my last energy suspension bushing from the master pack purchased a while ago. the front shifter bushing. a one piece unit made of really hard poly. the trick is using a old bearing race to guide the bushing into the shifter shaft. with a press. worked great with a bit of lube. that coupled with the group n' rear bushing, tic trans cross member bushings and clunk killer kit, and a torque solution pitch stop(saw a beatrush the other day. should have, ya.) but it's all working quite nicely. the only Really noticeable nvh came from the pitch stop. and honestly, its kinda cool and only noisy at startup.
the gears all line up and shift well but i see the added increase of force(or patience, my preferred)from the stiffer bushings. no complaints. my car stopped thrashing about on pull away from a stop sign from sloppy marshmallow bushings and a torn pitchy. sense of speed is a bit off to now because there isnt the terrific JERK when rowing gears. there is soooo much less driveling slop. almost none. its great! i am topping out at 5500rpm though, old motor. yay, another job complete and noticeable difference!

Higgs pens new deal
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Cheltenham Town goalkeeper Shane Higgs has signed a new three-year contract.
Cheltenham Town goalkeeper Shane Higgs has signed a new three-year contract with the Gloucestershire-based club.
The 29-year-old will remain at Whaddon Road until the summer of 2009 after establishing himself as Cheltenham number one.
Robins boss John Ward was delighted to secure the services of the former Bristol Rovers and Worcester City custodian, claiming he has one of the best shot-stoppers in The Football League.
"I believe that Shane is one of the best goalkeepers around and he has already more than shown his worth in League One this season," Ward told the club's official website.
"We've got a very good goalkeeper in his prime playing for us over the next three years.
"We've had no interest from clubs in higher divisions, which really surprises me.
"I still think people see Cheltenham as an unfashionable club, although that is to our advantage in this case.
"Having said that, I know that Shane is very happy here and that he will always give his best for the club."

I don't want to add fuel, but Its hard not to compare this & the Solarbotics version and not notice how close the two are. There are differences; but compare with open eyes.
If the guys at Solarbotics created a v2.0 with these same additions, everyone would jump on it as a clone, and I think the same should be said in reverse.
Carbon Film resistors - the SB version doesn't use current monitoring - the resistors are there to limit LED current and to tie enable pins high.
30V Diodes - yep, this is what they are. Standard 5818 diodes - substitutable with 1N4007 if preferred for the 1000V reverse breakdown voltage. (Hobby robotics I seriously doubt run any risk of popping those diodes. They are only there for Back-EMF
Bigger - allows for standoffs. The SB is labeled as 'Compact Motor Driver' - size is a consideration.
We use the SB version in my robotics club and love it. I think Cana-kit could have given a nod in their direction as inspiration - at the very least.
No public wish lists :(

Compelling Media, Powerful Stories
Media matters when it is compelling. To tell a powerful visual story that stirs the heart…To shape a bold narrative that persuades the mind…To drive knowledge that demands action… In American University School of Communication (SOC) Film and Media Arts division, that's exactly what we teach you to do.

Or you can bring your creativity into play and stretch your capacity in experiential education and persuasive play research, applying game design to non-game contexts as a developer of games for change and rhetorical play.

Our faculty have won Oscars, Emmys, Peabody Awards, and more!
Classroom in the Wild
Michael Rice, SOC/BA '20
I felt I got four years of experience in a week's time.
Michael Rice endured blustery winds and bitter cold on the Chesapeake Bay to create a video about the harsh beauty of the landscape and the harm wildlife faces today. The mentors he found through Classroom in the Wild not only coached him in camera techniques, but gave him life tips on time management, marketing, and careers. The experience taught him to collaborate, problem solve, be persistent, and never give up. Michael learned the importance of creating art that makes a difference. For him, that's what makes a filmmaker.

Anybody got any suggestions? I'd like one that works like a car with an auto cutoff when the brakes are engaged.
Anybody got any suggestions? I'd like one that works like a car with an auto cutoff when the brakes are engaged.
Mine is the breakaway brand that you can either cut off with your thumb or when you pull the front brake it cuts off.
Here is a link to what some have done. I know epiphsis installed it on his X.
+1 on the Breakaway.
OK, so it doesn't hold your speed constant up and down hills, but it does lock the throttle. Really helps to give your right wrist a break once in a while, especially nice on longer cruises.
Accutronix operates like the one on your car. About $120 from amazon.com
Is this the cruise you're talking about?
Now selling for $90. Read the reviews...there's a biker review there.
Perhaps, the bannersyuma site gives good "play by play" instructions for this unit.
Looks like a great system.
I am currently installing the Audiovox Electronic Cruise on my bike!!! I am close to being done. I will hopefully be installing the tank back on my bike tonight, and doing a test ride tomorrow. I have turned on the key and was able to get the little green light to light up.
I will be doing a small write up about it in a new thread when completed, and of course I will have a few pictures to show.
I have used this link as my bible for the most part!!!
I have kept my tool compartment intact (did not remove the battery box). I am not going to use a vacuum canister (yet). If I do, I will mount it under the bike behind the Fatty Bar (will be hidden).
Not hard. It is time consuming, but not hard. I was going to order the Breakaway, but for half the price, I went with the electronic unit.

HELP!!! Antenna removal ???
Okay, so I'm buying a Thule box today and want to install my sharkfin antenna. The instructions say to "remove the old antenna". Okay?, I unscrewed the mast, but how do I get the base off? Does the base unscrew from the roof? What am I missing
Re: HELP!!! Antenna removal ???
I haven't installed the sharkfin, so i could be wrong on this. I thought the sharfin plugged into the OEM base and simply went over it.
Re: HELP!!! Antenna removal ???
Dogface is correct, only thing removed for sharkfin is mast, then SF pigtail mounts to mast bolthole with provided bolt and entire SF covers OEM base.
Re: HELP!!! Antenna removal ???
I'm the idiot, screws into base
Re: HELP!!! Antenna removal ???
How easy is it to get it off/on? The thing is, if I end up buying a WK2, I would have to get rid of the antenna on the way home, because the thing wont fit in my garage! :)
Will it look very ugly driving without the antenna? Does anyone have pictures? I am guessing I would probably order sharkfin after getting the jeep, or just in case if I don't get it in time.
Re: HELP!!! Antenna removal ???
Mate it just unscrews by hand, it is very easy to remove the mast.
Re: HELP!!! Antenna removal ???
Thanks, I just found the topic where he posted pictures of it, although he doesn't have the one with mast off but it seems easy enough. Isn't there anyway to bend the antenna? I mean the least they could have done was to offer a foldable antenna so we could actually fold it if needed.
Re: HELP!!! Antenna removal ???
did you receive an answer as to how to remove the base from the roof?
Re: HELP!!! Antenna removal ???
I saw somewhere that to remove the base you have to remove the headliner. But again the sharkfin sits on top.

Chihuahua Temperament
What's Good About 'Em,
What's Bad About 'Em
Chihuahua Temperament, Personality, Behavior, Traits, and Characteristics, by Michele Welton. Copyright © 2000-2016
Chihuahuas are comical, entertaining, and loyal little dogs, absolutely brimming with personality – often a quirky and eccentric personality unmatched by any other breed.
Other than that generalization, Chihuahuas are extremely variable. You can find individuals who are lively or placid. Bold or timid. Feisty or mellow. Confident or nervous. Stubborn or eager to please.
How a Chihuahua turns out depends mightily on the genetic temperament of his parents and grandparents. In other words, entire lines of Chihuahuas are social or antisocial, and if you bring home an individual who has inherited genes for a bad temperament....well, let's just say it's not a wise thing to do. Socialization and training often can't overcome bad genes in a Chihuahua.
But socialization and training are still extremely important! In fact, as long as your Chihuahua has inherited genes for a normal temperament, how you raise him will determine how he turns out.
Chihuahuas do not have a particularly good reputation among the general public. Ask a few people, "Do you think Chihuahuas are nice little dogs?" and see how many of them exclaim, "No! They're nasty little things who bite!"
I have to say that this reputation has some basis in truth. As I explained, Chihuahuas often inherit genes for a bad temperament.....because so many people breed Chihuahuas whose temperaments are bad. In addition, many people treat their Chihuahua like a stuffed toy or doll, or as a substitute for a human infant. They tote the Chihuahua everywhere in their arms, don't teach any commands, laugh at signs of aggression, make excuses for bad behavior, and soothe and coo over the dog constantly.
It's no wonder so many Chihuahuas are neurotic! They're made that way by their owners. All dogs, whatever their size, must be taught how to walk on their own four feet, how to do what they're told, and how to get along peacefully with the world.
Now, "getting along peacefully" doesn't always mean that a Chihuahua LIKES everyone. On the contrary, many Chihuahuas are naturally suspicious toward strangers. But they can be suspicious without letting everyone within earshot know it, or without progressing to threats. It's up to YOU to draw and enforce the line.
Similarly, while most Chihuahuas get along great with other pets in their own family, they tend to raise a ruckus when they spy a strange dog. Again, YOU have to put a stop to this from day one or it will get out of hand.
Fortunately, there also exist Chihuahuas who are standoffish, but who will eventually approach people in their own good time, especially if the person isn't pushy or insistent. And some Chihuahuas are very friendly right from the get-go and will go to anyone.
Chihuahuas do seem to recognize and prefer their own breed, so it's a great idea to keep two of them. They keep each other company when you're gone, they play together, clean each other's ears (Chihuahuas can be obsessive ear-lickers!), and keep each other warm by snuggling together.
Chihuahuas adore warmth, oh, yes! They will seek out the tiniest sunspot in which to bask, and they tunnel under blankets and towels. You have to be careful whenever you sit down on your sofa or bed, as there could be a Chihuahua tucked under there!
The most difficult thing to teach a Chihuahua? Housebreaking. Chihuahuas can be VERY difficult to housebreak – one of the most difficult of all breeds – especially in cold or wet weather. Consider an indoor litter box, or a doggy door that leads out to a covered potty area.
If you want a dog who...
- Is small and easy to carry
- Comes in a variety of sizes, coats, and colors
- Is oh-so-funny and entertaining in quirky ways (hard to describe – you gotta be there!)
- Is very loyal
- Is a great traveler
- Doesn't need much exercise
- LOVES warmth
- Lives a long time
A Chihuahua may be right for you.
If you don't want to deal with...
- The fragility of toy breeds (see below)
- The fine line you need to walk with toy breeds, where you need to protect their safety, yet require them to stand on their own four feet and be well-behaved
- Notorious housebreaking difficulties
- Suspiciousness, shrillness, and highstrung temperaments in some lines, or when babied or spoiled or not socialized enough or made to behave
A Chihuahua may not be right for you.
- choosing the RIGHT breeder and the RIGHT puppy
- or choosing an ADULT dog from your animal shelter or rescue group – a dog who has already proven that he doesn't have negative traits
- training your dog to respect you
- avoiding health problems by following my daily care program in 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy
More traits and characteristics of Chihuahuas
If I was considering a Chihuahua, I would be most concerned about...
- Fragility. Too many people acquire a toy breed puppy without understanding how incredibly fragile a toy breed is. You can seriously injure or kill a Chihuahua by stepping on him or by sitting on him when he's curled under a blanket or pillow, where he frequently likes to sleep. And Chihuahuas can seriously injure or kill THEMSELVES by leaping from your arms or off the back of your sofa. A larger dog can grab a Chihuahua and break his neck with one quick shake. Owning a toy breed means constant supervision and surveillance of what's going on around your tiny dog. Chihuahuas must always be kept on-leash -- they are just too easy to injure when not under your complete control.
Chihuahuas are NOT suited to young children, no matter how well-meaning the child. Children cannot help being clumsy, and that a child meant well is little solace to a Chihuahua who has been accidentally stepped on, sat on, rolled on, squeezed, or dropped onto the patio. Most Chihuahuas feel overwhelmed by the loud voices and quick movements that children can't help making -- and stress and fearfulness (even defensive biting) may be the result.
- Housebreaking issues. As a behavioral consultant, I would put the Chihuahua on my Top 5 List of "Hard to Housebreak." If you live in a cold or rainy climate, housebreaking will be especially difficult, because Chihuahuas hate both the cold and the rain. A COVERED potty area is strongly recommended. Sometimes a doggy door is necessary so your Chihuahua can run outside the moment he feels the urge in his tiny bladder. Read more on housebreaking your Chihuahua.
- Socializing your Chihuahua not to threaten strangers. Suspicious by nature, Chihuahuas need extensive exposure to people and to unusual sights and sounds. Otherwise their natural suspicion can become shrillness or downright nastiness. Many Chihuahuas will put on a display of excited ferociousness (aka "they pitch a fit"!) when other people or animals approach what they consider to be "theirs." Which, for some Chihuahuas, extends to the entire street. It sounds funny, but it's not, because if you don't curtail it, your Chihuahua may end up suspicious of everyone in the world, which is a short step to biting them when they unwittingly instrude on "his space."Read more about attitude toward strangers and other dogs.
- Barking. Chihuahuas are often too quick to sound the alarm at every new sight and sound. You have to be equally quick to stop them. If that training is to be successful, your Chihuahua needs to respect you so that he stops barking when you tell him to.
A Chihuahua who respects you will do what you say and will stop what he's doing when you tell him "No."
My book Teach Your Dog 100 English Words, gives you a unique vocabulary to use with your dog AND teaches my Respect Training Program. Your dog will look at you when you speak and do what you say. Not just when he's hungry for a treat or feels like it. But all the time. Because he respects you.
- Shedding. Chihuahua shed! Because they're so small, their shedding is not usually a big issue for people, but I did want to make you aware that Chihuahuas shed! since many potential owners have been misinformed that Chihuahuas are "hypoallergenic" or "light shedding." This is not true at all. If you come to my house on any day of the week, you will leave with dark gray hairs on your clothes....dark gray hairs that belong to my Chihuahua, Mouse. Once again, Chihuahuas shed!
Now, how MUCH they shed depends on what kind of coat they have.
Chihuahuas, you see, come in four coats:
- Short coat, double. This is a short outer coat, plus a woolly undercoat for insulation. Because of the two layers, this coat sheds more than
- Short coat, single. With no undercoat, this coat looks and feels sleek and sheds less than a double coat.
- Long coat, double. Long outer coat, plus wooly undercoat. This coat needs the most brushing and combing, takes more blow-drying after a bath, and sheds a good deal. Some of these dogs are so bushy they resemble Pomeranians.
- Long coat, single. This "long" coat is typically shortish on the body, with feathering restricted to the ears, backs of the legs, stomach, hindquarters, and tail. A single longcoat is much easier to groom than a double longcoat, and sheds less than a double coat of either length.
- Finding a healthy one and keeping him healthy. Chihuahuas are more prone to injury resulting from their tiny size, rather than to illness or disease. But they ARE very prone to loose knee joints (which can require expensive surgery) and to dental disease (their mouth is too small to provide firm footing for healthy teeth). Other health issues in Chihuahuas include corneal ulcers, collapsing trachea, and liver shunt. To avoid these problems, you need to buy your Chihuahua from a person who can pass the "14 Family Companion Guidelines" in my book, Dog Quest: Find The Dog Of Your Dreams. If they're not following these guidelines, it's a big risk to buy a puppy from them.
Once you have your puppy home, you need to keep him healthy by following the 11-Step Health Care Program in 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy.
If you want your dog to live a long, healthy life and seldom need to visit the vet, this is the book for you. How to prepare healthy meals, getting only the right vaccinations (not the ones that are either useless or risky), preventing fleas, ticks, and heartworm safely, getting dangerous (to dogs) products out of your home, healing or improving current health issues, and much more. This is my best book, and bargain priced, too!

Long Form Online Music Magazine Will Contain Absolutely No Advertising
Two traditional journalists take to the web to raise funds to produce, 'Uncool,' a slow media driven publication.
In an applaudable move to counter the fast-paced world of content creation, two music journalists are crowdfunding on Kickstarter to launch Uncool, an online platform to showcase long form writing with one catch: there are no ads.
David Greenwald (Billboard, GQ) and Daniel Siegal (Rolling Stone, LA Times) have partnered to bring back the authentic approach of slow media in music journalism.
Traditional advertising dollars align with frequency of posting, unique users and time spent on a site, alongside other measurable factors. This publication goes against every one of these rules by providing one in-depth feature each week, a minimum of 3,000 words per story (up to a whopping 10,000 words) and a respectable price tag provided to each writer. Ambitiously targeting a goal of $54K they want to fund their inaugural year to instigate a proof of concept and use the 12 months ahead to qualify for value-added subscriptions and an e-book model that places the writer as an equal to the publisher.
Their campaign statement reveals more:
We want to run the kind of work you'll take the time to sit down with, digest and think about for a while, not skim in a frenzy of headline clicks. We also want to showcase compelling photography and art, to balance out our thousands of words and examine music from every angle. UNCOOL is going to be completely advertising-free, so we'll never worry about cashing in on SEO pageviews or impressing a sneaker company. Our goal is to fund our first year of work right now, with your support.
The welcome back lash to the effects of information overload is thankfully revealing more examples of how giving us less can give us a whole lot more music to our ears.
Check out their video below:

- - Question about Sparkman & Stephens 32 (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/29029-question-about-sparkman-stephens-32-a.html)
Question about Sparkman & Stephens 32
I came across an interesting looking S&S boat on yachtworld, it has a very diffeent looking cabin, the companionway seems to extend half way into the cockpit...
any idea what I'm talking about?
Is this a good boat? It's selling for $1,500. Needs work... lots.
It probably is a good design but your looking at a major rebuild,tens of thousands of dollars. I've bought a hurricane boat that looked alot better than this and it took two years and a good sum of money. I bought it from these people also,
$1500 sounds great, but first estimate what it will cost to (time, effort and money..) to bring it up to sailing condition or what you would want in a boat, then double that amount -because its always more than you expect.. and then ask your self would you pay that amount for the boat?
This is an old IOR race boat. In near perfect shape it is worth perhaps $10,000 to $15,000. After a quick look at the photos, assuming that you are really tallented and can do the work yourself, and that you have a free spot to store the boat while you restore her, you could spend a lot more than that in materials and manufactured parts alone simply putting the boat back together and after a year of hard work or more realistically dragged out over several years, you will still end up with a pretty mediocre boat.
I'd buy it and re sell the winches and what ever I could salvage on ebay. Still make over what you paid for
"Still make over what you paid for"
Not in the US. Here, you'd have to pay early to have the hull ground up and carted away as hazardous waste, after you hauled the keel away to the scrap metal dealers. It's a shame to see a boat in that shape but unless you have idle land to park it on and spend a long time working on it...Ouch. Quite an ambitious project but I suspect that one will become landfill.
So how do you get rid of a boat you don't want...and no one buys it??? You have to do what, exactly?
If you own the property, you can leave it where it is and ignore it. But, if that property is a boatyard...then you are losing money because the space it occupies may be worth $5,000+ per year as storage for another paying customer.
So how do you get rid of it? Well...first you need to chop it up, crush it, bring in some big equipment or a dozen men with Sawzalls. Costs money. Or you can push it off into the water, oops, MARPOL violation, costs money. Or you can try to bury it, if you can find a landfill to take it, and with all the concerns about toxins and the like...You can't give it to a landfill unless you remove the lead keel, the bottom paint, and any other toxins first.
So, you have to try finding some sucker to buy it, who thinks they can fix it up for less than the cost of buying a boat that's in sailing condition.
I'm not saying there are no real bargains, but usually when there's that much damage you can see, there's more you can't. And unless someone is already skilled at fiberglass repair and hull painting, doesn't mind scrounging for rigging and sails that might or might not fit, trusts the home-painted engine...Some folks can get a bargain, more can get burned.
Usually we put an ad on eBay and sell it to some Portugee looking for a bargain priced boat in America.<G>
Guys, thanks for the messages, but I wasn't looking to buy this particular boat - I just wanted to learn more about its design, as I had not seen it before, and it looked pretty unique...
S&S were, and are, designers not boatbuilders, so anything you see listed as an "S&S" is not necessarily a production boat. It may have been built one-off to suit someone's particular ideas or to test a solution to some set of racing rules. You might be able to contact them to find out why that particular boat was built, and whether they considered it a success for that purpose.

I never go a single week, without finding something new that needs attention. 18 months is a lifetime on a boat. As mentioned, an insurance survey is a different beast.
Re: How long is a survey good for?
Plaster, if a survey was any good in the first place, the surveyor competent and honest, it was good for about ten minutes. As soon as the surveyor walks away, that's that. In eighteen months someone can hit a rock, break the rigging, let the bilges fill up with water and start rotting out the boat. The chainplates can leak, the engine can be overheated and blown, the rudder shaft can be bent. Rats can eat the sails while a tree falls on the lifelines and bends the stanchions.
How long is a survey good for? How long is a piece of string?
And it isn't just your ten grand at risk. If you start to do a little work here and there, wind up putting in another grand or two, contract for a year at a marina, then find out there's a major problem and you're going to have to pay to have the boat hauled away because they are treated as hazmat at regular landfills...You could easily wind up putting $15k plus at risk here.
If you don't know boats, and can't get help from someone who does, a survey is worth considering. If you will be insuring the boat then your insurer may also require a survey from a specific list of surveyors they have approved. If you've had a survey done but they require someone else, you wind up buying two surveys.
Re: How long is a survey good for?
An 'insurance survey' is a bit of a 'rubber stamp' for people renewing their insurance. Nowhere near as thorough as a proper survey.
Your own insurance company may accept the insurance survey since it's less than 5 years old, but if you're financing the bank may not. It also won't really tell you what you need to know about the boat to make a fair decision on purchase, esp as a 'first time buyer'.
Bottom line the 'right thing' to do is get a proper purchase survey. Buying a boat without a thorough inspection of the underwater bits is a risky maneuver.. ask yourself can you afford to throw away the $10K if you buy wrong??
How long is a survey good for?
I'm look at buying a boat in the under $10k range.
One boat I found was already surveyed 18 months ago buy the owner for insurance purposes.
No bottom inspection was done and just visual on engine.
This is a 30'er.
Should I accept the old survey or get another or just get the bottom checked and the engine ?
First time buyer

Not going to be able to chase white birds this spring and these dang things cost too much to ship. Any takers?
139 Northwind Snows with stakes/supports
35 Converted, Canada to Blues with stakes/supports
9 Northwind Hovering Snows with stakes/supports (1 extra without support)
Total 184 decoys for sale! (2 heads short)
Most of these have original Northwind supports, some are homemade using strips of corrugated plastic that I had laying around. The homemades are not consistent in length but did help a little when the wind would die down. They are duct taped around the sharp edges so they wouldn't wear holes in the bodies.
The bodies that are blues were Canada Northwinds that I repainted.
18 of the snow bodies are Mallard drake Northwinds that were turned inside out and painted with black tail feathers to make into Snows. Still usable as Mallard drakes if you so desire.
Most of the heads have factory, but some were repainted to make into snows or blues.
Decoys were used last spring on 12 hunts, some are muddy and two or three have very small holes. All in all they are in great condition, before last spring I think they were used only a few times. $225, located in Bozeman.

Why does the display work without a Vcc-connection (only GND and RX)? I found and tested this example in "Environmental Monitoring with Arduino" from MakerPRESS, page 21.
I had the same effect. After reset the display get dark. If the example starts only random pixels like a noise. I bought the board last week.

|I've got some friends who swear by VPP2. I'd point out that the historical data it is based on is just that, historical data, and while it may be accurate a majority of the time, it isn't always the case.
|Ask the question on the SSCA board. I know there are some users there and several have crossed more than one ocean using it. Also there is an existing thread on this topic so do a search.
Virtual Passage Planner
Has anybody used this programme and actually put the results of the predictions to the test?
I have used it for a little while now but really just as a what-if tool for fun more than for any real purpose. Now I find myself planning a significant voyage and I start to wonder whether the predictions are any good.
Not that I have any reason to believe they're not. It's just that on my last ocean crossing I used an Admiralty routing chart for info and weather predictions and the information on the chart was not correct at any time throughout the entire 6500nm voyage.
The voyage I may be contemplating is somewhat hazardous and is VERY weather dependant and the sources of weather data in the area are a little thin on the ground. And the predictions I'm getting appear too good to be true.
I wonder whether the wind and current data on VPP is derived by data supplied from the British Admiralty. It could be NOAA. I then get to wondering why it would be any better/worse.
So . . . does anyone believe the stuff that VPP tells them - more importantly, do you have good reason to believe?

text: 7 Things The Act Of Killing Taught Us About Indonesia's Bloody Past January 19, 2015 There has been a cultural turning point in the perception of Indonesian history. We are now living in a post The Act of Killing Indonesia. The Oscar nominated documentary by filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer, probes into the atrocities committed by the gangsters who aided and abetted Suharto's military coup in 1965.It is the most important movie about Indonesia's bloody and misrepresented historical episode, and such is Joshua Oppenheimer's desire for the truth to come to light, the entire movie can be watched for free here. It is a must watch for all concerned about Indonesia's past, present, and future direction. Here are 7 things we learned from The Act of Killing:Article Submitted by Jimmy Thoriq 1) 500,000 - 1,000,000 Indonesians murderedDuring the 1965 coup, up to 1,000,000 suspected "Communists" were murdered in state sponsored genocide. Amongst such huge numbers, we must remember that every single statistic had dreams, a face and a family they left behind. Families who deserve justice for what they suffered. www.o-cinema.com 2) US involvementIndonesia had the 3rd largest Communist party in the world by 1965, behind only USSR and China. In a Cold War context, the US was seriously considering going to war with Indonesia to temper the rise of Communism and making it the Vietnam war before 'Nam. But what is better than invading a country and dispensing with a Democratic base that you don't agree with? Getting the local right-wing force to do it for you. www.genocideindonesia1965.blogspot.com The C.I.A would send intel about who to kill and who was a 'threat' - what this led to was the killing of everyone who wasn't supportive of the new regime. 3) Hollywood CinemaThere is a deeper cultural and psychological root to the genocide. Anwar and his cronies hated Sukarno's attempts to ban American movies, as they were owners of local cinemas (the irony of certain western films being banned today, not least The Act of Killing, should not be lost). What Anwar and his fellow gangsters would do is watch a violent American movie, walk out mid-film, and consciously reenact the cinematic murders on someone they disliked. The psychological persuasion of Hollywood entertainment was a glamourous inspiration for the manner and even timing of when they felt an unquenchable blood lust, and how they would conduct it. www.plasticpodcast.com 4) Proud of KillingsWhat is perhaps most chilling about the whole movie, is the perpetrators pride in the killings. They boastfully retell and reenact their murderous feats. It is the fear they have instilled in their regional centers of power that ensures they can maintain that stranglehold. www.theactofkilling.com 5) Ideological excuseThe timeless ideological reasoning, and geopolitical context of "Right vs. Left" was an excuse used after the fact to justify killing for local power/promotions. Killers imposed an image of an enemy onto those they killed as a justification for their acts. There is no denying that what emerged from the ashes of a Left-leaning government was a Right-wing authoritarian state. Though the murders that took place were conducted by ruthless and power hungry Gangsters wanting to consolidate regional power, far away from the epicenter of the coup de'etat in Jakarta. www.wikipedia.org 6) Gangsters Another curious aspect is the interpretation of the term 'Gangster', defined by high ranking officials as 'free men'. This comes from the Dutch preman, meaning 'free man'. The Dutch would use these Indonesian preman to illegitimately brake up opposition - like a local unsecret police - and give them more autonomy than the people they were oppressing. Think of Samuel L. Jackson's character in Django Unchained - a black man suppressing the slaves for his masters- and you have an idea of what the preman were for the colonial Dutch. This form of organization was greatly tempered after 1945, but endured a renaissance when when the powerful were in a position and environment to capitalize on the weak. www.sensesofcinema.com 7) Pancasila ParamilitaryThere is a paramilitary force in Indonesia that is 3,000,000 members strong. They are the private military force that defends the Pancasila doctrine, denouncing any opposition to their power as being 'Communist'. It played a major role in the 1965 coup, and still serves to maintain power across Indonesia. www.endgenocide.org When we seriously consider the reality of Indonesia's past, the origins of our Crony Capitalist present becomes self evident. A deeply rooted corrupt politics finds its birth in the way the state apparatus came into being. American involvement in the coup, and continued support for an undemocratic democracy in return for resources and geopolitical alliance, cannot be separated from the ongoing disenfranchisement of the Indonesian multitude. The destabilized perception of what happened during Suharto's military coup is beginning to become clear. Fortunately, the new Jokowi regime is a clear jettison from the old days of authoritarianism. What happens in the post The Act of Killing Indonesia, however, remains to be seen. For it is unravelling before our very eyes.

- - Bulge on Elbow (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/420761-bulge-elbow.html)
Bulge on Elbow
My Zeus has just developed a bulge on his left elbow, front leg.
It's about the size of an egg if you include the underlying bone and muscle. It doesn't envelope all of the leg at the joint, just mostly the back of the elbow.
It does not appear to hurt and can be manipulated and palpated without any indicating of pain. And, the dog readily lays on a hard surface using the elbow and it's bulge as support for his weight.
Any thoughts what this might be?
How large is he? Spending lots of time in crates or on hard floors?
Maybe a lipoma, a fatty deposit?
Lipomas in Dogs: Benign Fatty Growths
My brother's dog had one for years, and was only removed because it got so big they worried about it. But they did have it checked out right away when they noticed it. I'm sure you'll be doing the same. Good luck with Zeus, and hopefully it's nothing to worry about.
Was thinking more hydroma
Zeus was about 102 lbs. the last time we went to the vet.
But we've recently put him on half rations to try to take some weight off him. So, he's probably under 100 now but not much.
He's one of the giants and his Sire is 145 and the dame 125.
The mass is about the size of an egg if you include the bones and flesh of the leg which it surrounds.
He does lay around a bit. And, he chooses to lay on the cool concrete of the back patio and on the cool tile in the house most day unless it's cold. But his outside pen has straw bedding in it about 15 inches thick and his inside, night crate has a large pillow in it.
I'll look up hydroma as it does seem to be fluid filled.
Yeah its sounding like big dog problems.
as many joint issues as giant breeds can have you may want to have it checked to rule out elbow dysplasia
The painless mass simply reabsorbed on its own.
Many dogs develop these hard tissue spots on their elbows due to the way they lie down. Some of them do it gently and slowly, some of them just drop their body down on the ground like a sack of potatoes. And, if the surface is hard, they develop these "camel hard spots" on elbows. Though, in your case, not the skin apperance, but the size of an egg would worry me. I do not know if skin cancer can occur due to a mechanical coercion in case he has hurt himself on something sharp, whether it could be some infection.

Will a poor cover letter hurt your employment chances?
In a word – yes.
Most of us are so focused on our resumes, we put little to no thought into a strong and effective cover letter.
Don't Make These Mistakes
As a hiring manager, I've had applications where the cover letter is a simple note stating, "Here's my resume. I need a job." Trust me, I found that particular candidate less than compelling. Because of the 'letter's' brevity, I didn't waste too much time on the applicant's resume.
Another candidate sent me a cover letter she'd written for a job in the auto industry. Given that I don't hire for auto industry jobs, I was mystified as to why she hadn't bothered to rewrite the letter for our job opening. Again, her lack of attention to detail colored my response to her resume.
I did not invite either of those candidates to interview.
Another Cover Letter Mishap
Another type of cover letter I truly dislike is when a candidate tells me something I already know. The wording might go something like this: "ResumeEdge is one of the leading resume writing companies on the Internet with certified writers in 40+ industries." How true that is. However, I already know what ResumeEdge does. I work here. What I want to know is the candidate's skills, knowledge and abilities.
An effective cover letter should interest the hiring manager or recruiter in your professional background as it pertains to that particular job opening. A one-size-fits-all cover letter won't work. An interview-winning cover letter will entice the recruiter or hiring manager to read further.
Tips for an Effective Cover Letter:
1. Make certain you address your cover letter to an individual, preferably the hiring manager or recruiter. If you don't have a name, don't make the mistake of addressing the letter to 'Dear Sir or Madam' or worse, 'To Whom It May Concern'. That's tantamount to getting a letter addressed to 'Dear Occupant'. Search the internet for the hiring manager's name. Call the company and ask for it. If that fails, then don't put a salutation on the letter.
Begin this way (after the date and where you're sending the letter):
RE: Job posting (here you'd put whatever the job title or number is)
After that line, go directly into the body of your letter.
2. Write a compelling first paragraph to paint yourself as the perfect candidate for that particular position. Make certain this paragraph doesn't use the exact wording as your resume's opening summary. Reading repetitive data becomes boring and you lose your edge in the hiring manager's mind.
3. Bullet the middle of your letter with additional skills/knowledge/abilities that perfectly meet the job's requirements. You may want to try a T-style letter here. That is, create two columns. Column One (to the left) will be titled – "Job Requirements". Column Two (to the right) will be titled – "My Skills". As closely as possible, you'll match your skills to the stated job duties.
4. End on a proactive note by writing, "I'll be contacting your office within (give a time period) to discuss this opportunity." In this job market, you can't sit back and hope good things will happen. You must make certain they do.
5. Proofread your finished letter carefully to avoid grammatical mistakes or spelling errors. A cover letter is the hiring manager's first impression of you. Therefore, its contents must be flawless.
A strong cover letter gives a hiring manager or recruiter a glimpse into your attention to detail, your past achievements and how well you'll be able to handle the job. Don't submit a letter that's written for everyone with little to no detail. The more effort you put into your cover letter, resume and job search, the greater your rewards.
