Domestic Violence Awareness Month
The National Coalition for Domestic Violence created and observed the first Domestic Violence Awareness Month in 1987. Since then, communities around the country have been increasing public consciousness about Domestic Violence and honoring the lives of victims and survivors. This month, we are highlighting several local organizations working to prevent violence and protect victims.
Alternatives for Battered Women
Alternatives for Battered Women exists to enhance the quality of life and empower individuals affected by or at risk of domestic violence. ABW is the only licensed provider in Monroe County of shelter and services for women and children who are affected by domestic violence. Among the many offerings at ABW are
- A 24-hour hotline, providing access to the shelter, information, referrals and counseling.
- A 38-bed emergency shelter for victims and children (both boys and girls, up to age 18). Residents receive safe housing, counseling and education, information, access to multiple support groups, assistance and planning for the family's future housing needs, and legal information.
- Walk-in counseling. Short-term counseling is available in an emergency.
- Family programs are available for children and their parent residing in the shelter, including counseling (both group and individual), information, referrals, social and recreational activities.
- Transitional Support Services includes our non-residential programs, and include small group counseling sessions, topic-focused groups, open community support groups, and individual counseling.
- Court Advocacy is a collaborative program between ABW and Legal Aid Society of Rochester which provides assistance at the Hall of Justice to victims of domestic violence as they navigate the legal system to pursue an Order of Protection.
- Our Education and Prevention program reaches out to students in middle and high schools and college, to help them learn how to form healthy relationships, and identifying abusive behaviors. This program also provides short-term education in area high schools for students deemed to be high-risk.
- A Speaker's Bureau that offers individualized presentations to community groups, professionals and others, about domestic violence and agency services.
Alternatives for Battered Women is a founding member of the New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence; the Rochester/Monroe County Domestic Violence Consortium; a member of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence; and a member of the LGBTQ Domestic Violence Service Providers Network.
Safe Journey
Safe Journey has served over 2,000 women since its inception in 1998. This non-profit, non-residential facility helps women who have experienced domestic violence and abuse to rebuild their lives. Located in Fairport, New York, Safe Journey offers a number of services to survivors of domestic violence including safety planning, individual counseling, community resource coordination, resettlement support and life skills training. The center also provides teen violence prevention and education services. The mission of Safe Journey is not only to help women survive, but to thrive and move forward in creating a life that is stable and peaceful. Safe Journey staff members travel to various community organizations and youth groups, educating individuals on domestic violence prevention. The organization also provides resources for those trying to help a victim.
Rape Crisis Service
Rape Crisis Service of Planned Parenthood of the Rochester/Syracuse Region believes every person should be free from sexual assault and/or sexual harassment. To this end, the program assures personal support and advocacy for survivors and significant others of sexual assault and violence. Rape Crisis Service provides crisis intervention and support services to women, children and men who are survivors of sexual assault and to their families. Trained counselors are available 24-hours a day, seven days a week to provide information and support, enabling the client to make informed choices concerning medical, legal and counseling needs, while offering advocacy and information about their rights. Counselors also offer short-term counseling sessions and legal and medical accompaniment. Services are free and confidential. Their regional Rape Crisis program currently serves five counties: Monroe, Genesee, Livingston, Orleans and Wyoming. Among the many offerings the service provides are: support through medical exams and treatment, court accompaniment, advocacy and support during interaction with law enforcement, individual consultations with professionals, community education programs and professional training programs. Staff members and trained volunteer counselors support victims in the areas of medical needs, psychological support, police intervention and legal prosecution. Information provided through prevention education and professional training programs increases awareness and improves societal response to sexual violence in the community and creates a society less vulnerable to sexual violence.
Stand Up Guys
Stand Up Guys is a local non-profit, founded in 2005, which seeks to educate men about the issue of gender-based violence. They work to educate men about violence against women and children while promoting community safety, justice, and equality. They hold events at schools and organizations throughout the community in order to spread their mission and share prevention techniques and information. Stand Up Guys recognizes that the majority of perpetrators of domestic violence and sexual abuse are men, and that only women tend to work towards ending domestic violence. Stand Up Guys believes in men standing up and speaking out about domestic violence as, not a women's issue, but a community issue. They aim to engage well intended, non-abusing men in the dialogue which will help to end the vicious cycle of domestic violence and sexual abuse.
Family Service Rochester
Family Service Rochester was founded in 1965 as a nonprofit organization with a staff of three and the mission to support and enhance the dignity and quality of life for individuals and families in our community. For the past 15 years, Family Service Rochester has sharpened its focus to working with families with serious child welfare and/or family violence concerns. Major service expansions have been in the areas of child maltreatment, child welfare, children's mental health, domestic violence and providing our services to ethnically diverse populations in our community. Family Service Rochester provides domestic violence support groups for men, women and children. Today the agency provides more than 30 programs to meet ever-changing community needs. Our staff of over 85 provides a wide range of human services that educate, strengthen, support, protect and empower individuals and families in our community.

Look Who's on the Red Carpet Now
Comedian and red carpet connoisseur Joan Rivers needs no introduction, but in the gratuitous spirit of the great lady, we'll give you one. She's had ups (including a primetime TV show), and she's had downs (when that TV show was cancelled due to her late husband's bad behavior, and his subsequent suicide). She has no shortage of fans, and no shortage of enemies (in the form of celebrities with their ballgowns between their legs). Above all, she has got a lot of hussle—no one's doing this comedian any favors, especially not booking agents. And now, Joan has a new documentary, A Piece of Work, chronicling a year in the life of show business's hardest working woman. Stylist and mega-fan Mel Ottenberg chases her down mid-publicity tour, hoping to get her to talk about who looks fat on the runway. Strangely, Joan's more interested in talking about small insects and baked potatoes:
MEL OTTENBERG: Joan, you're so busy today. It's great.
JOAN RIVERS: No complaints.
OTTENBERG: What're you doing?
RIVERS: What didn't I do! I wrote jokes, I wrote a foreword for a friend's book, I just picked out some costumes for Vegas, and I'm getting ready to go to the film festival tonight.
OTTENBERG: Your film's showing tonight?
RIVERS: It's showing tonight.
OTTENBERG: At Tribeca tonight?
RIVERS: Well, one of the showings is tonight.
OTTENBERG: That's fantastic! Lets talk about the movie. I watched the preview online; it looks really amazing.
RIVERS: Oh, thank you, thank you. That's great to hear. We didn't know what the reaction was going to be.
OTTENBERG: Well, I want to watch a year in the life of Joan.
RIVERS: Yeah, but we've seen a lot of those "in the life of" stories, and you learn nothing about the person, you see nothing about the person and what the person really is about.
OTTENBERG: And do you think you got something different?
RIVERS: Oh, I think that she got something different. That's causing the stir, because I don't think they expect it to be what it is.
OTTENBERG: And what do you think they got?
RIVERS: I don't know what they got. I'm always very honest. What's kept me going for 46 years in this business, is don't ever lie to your audience. And if you hate something, you hate it, and if you like something or somebody, you like it, but tell the truth. And most celebrities have that thin veneer that they will not break for you.
OTTENBERG: You've offended the country so far that they can't deal with you, and you're still there to tell the truth, and people do need that.
RIVERS: The emperor has no clothes. And at different times people get very angry with me, and that's where my expression, "Can we talk?" came from, because I used to turn to the audience and say, "Can we talk, here?" And I never realized I was saying it, but that always meant—
OTTENBERG: Straight talk.
RIVERS: Come on! No, so-and-so isn't gay! What're you, crazy? Can we talk here? That's the kind of stuff. Yeah, so-and-so isn't a Nazi. Mel Gibson—really good person? So that's what's kept me going, I think.
OTTENBERG: Who came up that I'm thinking about in the tabloids these days? It's all about Suri, Lindsay, the Kardashians—
RIVERS: It's all about poor Lindsay, which is so sad. Poor Paris Hilton, who's been totally forgotten.
OTTENBERG: She has.
RIVERS: She's just been overtaken by the Kardashians. I think they're fascinating because there's three of them, and so there's always something happening. Tiger Woods was a joy. God gave all comedians Tiger Woods. That was our Christmas present from God.
OTTENBERG: Um, what's your diet?
RIVERS: My diet, which is coming up as soon as I finish with you... I eat a lot of baked potatoes, they're wonderful, full of minerals, and not that fattening. And then I throw stuff on them, so you're very full.
OTTENBERG: So you're not on South Beach or low-carb?
RIVERS: I can't be bothered with that.
OTTENBERG: Are you into sugar? Do you cheat or are you really hard-core?
RIVERS: I cheat all the time. I'm an M&M girl. They should send me money.
OTTENBERG: Amazing. Did you get any new work done for the premiere tonight?
RIVERS: No! [LAUGHS]
OTTENBERG: Can we talk about it? Lets talk. I mean, what's up? Nothing new?
RIVERS: Nothing new, nothing new. I'm wearing a lot of jewelry tonight, and I can't wait because Rex Reed is going to interview me, and he's an old friend, so I know it's going to be fun.
OTTENBERG: Are you wearing Joan Rivers QVC, or something else?
RIVERS: If it isn't real, it's Joan Rivers.
OTTENBERG: Amazing. And wait, which one are we going with tonight? Real or Joan Rivers?
RIVERS: I don't know, but probably Joan Rivers. Because the Joan Rivers, you know, fake is always bigger and flashier!
OTTENBERG: I love it. Who's fat? Lets talk fat. I really want to hear you talk who's fit; I really want to hear you talk who's fit on real-time. This is my dream.
RIVERS: On what?
OTTENBERG: On real time. I mean, I'm on the phone with Joan Rivers. I want to talk some shit.
RIVERS: I'm very in to ants now.
OTTENBERG: Ants?
RIVERS: I read a wonderful excerpt from a book on ants, and I am now throwing food all over the place onto grass to take care of the poor ants. Very boring, but...
OTTENBERG: Boring, but you know, whatever, life changes. Your interests change. The red carpet is boring, but it has to be discussed.
RIVERS: No, the red carpet's wonderful. Constantly new people.
OTTENBERG: You love it. I miss you on it.
RIVERS: Yeah, but I love the way we're doing it now. We do a fashion review the next day. You can be so much more honest! Because you don't have to lie to Gwyneth Paltrow's face and say, "Don't you look nice," and then the next day just knife her in the back. I mean, that's just wrong, and I found it very upsetting. I will be on the carpet, at BAFTA, which is the international awards, in England.
OTTENBERG: How did you feel having the lens turned on you? What did you think about having people in your face all day long for a year? That's a long time.
RIVERS: Well, they become invisible, and they become family. When they finally left, I couldn't say goodbye. I was so upset because they were just there the whole time. I'd get up in the morning and Seth, the sound guy, would hand me my mic, and Charles, the photographer, was right there.
OTTENBERG: So warts and all, the embarrassing moments, all there.
RIVERS: That was the deal I made with them. It's got to be the truth. Some of the shots, I don't know if I would have put that in, but otherwise what's the point in complaining? Then go on the Biography Channel and have a bunch of people say how wonderful you are. You can always find someone that's gonna say you're wonderful.
OTTENBERG: And what's your mood like these days? Are you happy? Sad?
RIVERS: The glass is always half empty. All good comedians are manic-depressive. I just read today that Sarah Silverman growing up was on like 16 Valiums.
OTTENBERG: Any parting words of wisdom, Joan?
RIVERS: Parting words of wisdom are: trust nobody.
OTTENBERG: I love it. I love it, and good luck to you with this movie.

I'm using the Gravity theme and pre-packaged Gravity child theme. After installation I received a warning message: This theme is broken. The parent theme is missing. Please install the "Gravity" parent theme.
I attempted to resolve the issue by changing the URI path in the headers of both the parent and the child themes; however, it did not resolve the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, have you tried contacting the theme developer via their support?
All the best.

Classic Bucks County charm abounds in this river front antique stone farmhouse. The original portion dates back to 1762, yet no modern convenience is missing in this fully renovated and updated Pennsbury SD home. Enjoy high ceilings and huge, Victorian style windows in the large formal living room, rustic exposed beams in the dining room which opens out onto the spacious outdoor terrace and the fully fenced grounds which include many fine plantings, gardens, and both lawn and woods. The updated designer's kitchen features built in SubZero fridge, Thermador stainless steel double oven, and Miele dishwasher. Lots of counter and cabinet space, the kitchen is adjacent to a large butler's pantry with farm sink, exposed brick, laundry (with a chute from the second floor!) and tons of additional pantry storage. Also on the first floor is an office with full bath, which could serve nicely as a guest room. Up either of two staircases and you will find three bedrooms with three full baths. With several doors, there is flexibility in creating a master suite on either side of the house, and the middle bedroom features a wall-to-wall built in bookshelf, ideal for incorporating into a master suite as a library or sitting room. The third floor features another bedroom or bonus room, making the layout of the house very flexible for a variety of preferences. Second washer/dryer in the basement, dumb waiter, and whole house generator with some service to the detached carriage house, which offers three garage bays and convenient powder room on the ground floor. The fully finished second floor of the carriage house, currently tenant occupied, is a one bedroom dwelling with a large, open living space. Enjoy the passive income generation, or use it as a home office, in-law residence or guest suite. Across the road, you have a private gate leading to the path down to the Delaware River with Riparian rights. Just minutes to the main roads to I-95, New Jersey, Philadelphia and NYC, yet set on a most bucolic country setting with a view out of every window, this property is the best of both worlds and ready for its next steward in more than 30 years.

text: The Series 3 does support MPEG4/H.264, it just needs a software update to support it. I think it was in Australia where several years ago their Series 3 boxes were updated to support MPEG4/H.264. But then the S3 is a old product now. I would think they would want thier customers to purchase a Series 4 or Series 5 TiVo. So I don't see much incentive for them to put out an update so the S3 boxes work with H.264.

The core idea behind Real World Web Services is simple: after years of hype, what are the major players really doing with web services? Standard bodies may wrangle and platform vendors may preach, but at the end of the day what are the technologies that are actually in use, and how can developers incorporate them into their own applications? Those are the answers Real World Web Services delivers. It's a field guide to the wild and wooly world of non-trivial deployed web services.The heart of the book is a series of projects, demonstrating the use and integration of Google, Amazon, eBay, PayPal, FedEx, and many more web services. Some of these vendors have been extremely successful with their web service deployments: for example, eBay processes over a billion web service requests a month!The author focuses on building 8 fully worked out example web applications that incorporate the best web services available today. The book thoroughly documents how to add functionality like automating listings for auctions, dynamically calculating shipping fees, automatically sending faxes to your suppliers, using an aggregator to pull data from multiple news and web service feeds into a single format or monitoring the latest weblog discussions and Google searches to keep web site visitors on top of topics of interest-by integrating APIs from popular websites most people are already familiar with.For each example application, the author provides a thorough overview, architecture, and full working code examples.This book doesn't engage in an intellectual debate as to the correctness of web services on a theological level. Instead, it focuses on the practical, real world usage of web services as the latest evolution in distributed computing, allowing for structured communication via Internet protocols. As you ll see, this includes everything from sending HTTP GET commands to retrieving an XML document through the use of SOAP and various vendor SDKs.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Real World Web Services is a domestic pigeon (Columba livia). There are more than 150 breeds of domestic pigeon, in a variety of sizes, colors, and patterns. The typical domestic pigeon is distinguished by its blue and gray plumage. As adults, domestic pigeons are approximately 12 to 14 inches long and can weigh up to 3.5 pounds. Their traditional diet consists primarily of seeds and whole grains,and they can travel far from their nest to locate food. Domestic pigeons reach sexual maturity at five to seven months of age. They mate throughout the year but predominantly in the summer months. The female pigeon lays two eggs each mating cycle, and the male and female birds take turns sitting on the eggs to incubate them until they hatch.The domestic pigeon is thought to be the first bird tamed by humans. The first domestic pigeons were bred about 6,000 years ago from the rock pigeon, which lived in the wild in Europe, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia. The domestic pigeon was first brought to North America in the early 1600s. Today, American domestic pigeons thrive in urban areas, where they have become comfortable amid the bustle and noise of city life and have adapted their diet to survive on leftover scraps of human food.One of the most famous breeds of domestic pigeon is the carrier pigeon. Bred for the pigeon's exceptional homing abilities, the carrier pigeon has been used since ancient times to transmit written messages fastened to its body. When dispatched, the carrier pigeon can travel at a speed of 45 miles per hour, and despite traversing extremely long distances, it instinctively returns to its home coop. During World Wars I and II, carrier pigeons saved hundreds of human lives, intrepidly flying through combat zones to deliver crucial messages at times when radio transmissions weren't feasible.

Review of Real World Web Services
By Val
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Real World Web Services:
You would like to concretely jump into the web services movement but all you can find are the same old books with invariably repetitive and boring toy examples, such as the infamous StockQuote and Wheater web services. Don't look any further and grab yourself a copy of this book. Will Iverson takes a significantly different approach and shows you how to build concrete web services applications by leveraging existing web services APIs provided by important industry actors, such as, Amazon, Google, eBay, Gracenote (CDDB), FedEx, PayPal, Interfax, etc. What's more, the author does not limit himself to presenting dry facts about how to work with those web services. Instead, he elegantly demonstrates how to compose them in order to create competitive analysis, list auctions and estimate shipping costs, integrate billing with faxing technologies, syndicate searches, aggregate news from different sources using Quartz and RSS, build a custom CD catalog, dig out and deliver hot news, automatically create daily discussions on Blogger and LiveJournal, and much more. Basically, this book provides exactly what is often missing from other tomes while managing at the same time to stay extremely simple and straightforward, yet very complete and accurate. I would definitely advise it to any Java developer who is eager to start writing effective and working web services code. More reviews on Val's blog (http://radio.javaranch.com/val)

Another tip: Walkthroughs tend to confuse when,there is change of roles.There are two guys .Some action can be done by a specific guy only ...so if the stuff given in Walkthrogh manual does not wrk,try changing the character by clicking face icon at bottom left and try again :)

I was wondering why ppl were saying itz tough n blah blah only until i entered sewers.It really got mad,frustrated n all that
Few tips for new players to your sufferings lessen
1.Dont simply refer to walkthrough in gamefaq,itz not for this gameThere is a walkthrough which is posted in most walkthrough sites.That seems fine in the begining .But lots of errors ,you will go mad in the sewers .So ,also keep a walkthrough from http://walkthroughs.homeip.net/text/waynesworld.aspx .Refer both prefarably the second .If you dont download the linked one,you may leave the game in between or will start searching for some reliable manual afyer ur "common manual" has drained you
2.Save often
3.If there are multiple files for eg. Ww,ww2 ,wwk etc ...dont go for ww.bat because this has lots of bugs, the broadcast room will not ve shown at all n stuffs like de...better play with ww2.bat .If that gets stuck,you need to close and open wwk.bat (itz fast a bit ,use this where both ww & ww2.bat are buggy.(dont foget dat previous tip " save often " )

I believe there's a mathematical equation awaiting discovery that could explain all these homemade tacticool sniper rifles. It's probably something like the height of the scope over the bore times the number of Picatinny rail slots divided by the cost of the scope times 3.14 equals the creator's degree of idiocy.

Two Peas in a Dopapod
Two Peas in a Dopapod
Last Friday, December 4th at the Charleston Pour House, Charlestonians were treated with a powerhouse opener followed by a local favorite- Dopapod.
The Nth Power kicked off the show, an explosive quartet hailing from all over the East coast like Vermont/New Hampshire, Virginia. The opener simply blew everyone away. It's hard to believe they've only been jamming together since 2012 at New Orleans Jazz Fest. Funky soul/rock innovators similar to the likes of Dumpstaphunk, these guys channel the legendary qualities of their influences like Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind and Fire and The Roots. This band is worth going to a show to see Nikki Glaspie their female powerhouse drummer do her thing and add her extra bit of spice. The power of love was oozing from this groovy quartet with gospel roots. Percussion and guitarists, Nick Cassarino and Weedie Braimah, were also on point. The crowd's energy was high as the anticipation built for the main act—Dopapod.
Boston-born quartet Dopapod, has been ever on-the-go, attending music festivals and concert venues alike nationwide. They have dope-afied festivals like Gathering of the Vibes, Bonnaroo, Mountain Jam, Burning Man, Bear Creek and Werk Out. Possessing a killer dynamic, their newest album yet, Never Odd Or Even (2014) is non-coincidentally their best yet. Compositionally more complex, this album was the spark that launched them into this next year of touring. With Rob Compa on keyboards, Chuck Jones on guitar, Scotty Zwang on bass and Luke Stratton on drums, they have just enough of every sound without overdoing it.
Stopping in Charleston during their Southeast Fall Tour 2015, the four put on a mind meltingly impressive light show, which paired well with their genre-defying sound. Taken on a spiritual journey, the crowd was along for the ride from start to finish. Jammin' all set long, these guys disregard all stylistic boundaries. Having generated a huge following from touring across America, their non-stop touring for the last three years has been rigorous but has seasoned these guys to their full potential. Soon they will be the next Dave Matthews Band, a jam band that made it big with top radio hits left and right. Dopapod comes to Charleston quite often, so if I were you I'd keep a lookout for their next local show in or around the Holy City.

Helen C. Newberger, 88, of Shalersville, passed away September 30, 2013. She was a red haired North Dakotan who captured the heart of Ohio fly-boy George Newberger at a picnic in 1943. They shared the picnic of life for 66 years, following their marriage in 1947. Helen encouraged her three daughters to pursue their educations, careers, travel, and most important, their families. She relished watching her five grandchildren follow those goals. Helen worked in the Ohio school systems for most of her career, where she was a champion for those students who often got overlooked. She loved coffee and believed it is an official part of the day. She shared her coffee and contributed to her community at the Annevar Garden Club, the Ladies Guild, the funeral luncheon and Dust Busters at Immaculate Conception Church, and Hope Circle at Portage Methodist Church. When you asked her opinion, you got it; when she gave her word, she kept it. She loved her family and friends without judgment and forever. Left to carry on her spirit and cherish their memories are: George Newberger, children: Nancy (Bob) Polz, MaryLou Newberger, Deborah (Terry) Call; five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; her sister, Kay Hinchman, and many nieces and nephews.
Calling hours will be from 2 - 4 and 6 - 8 PM Wednesday, October 2, 2013 at Shorts Spicer Crislip Funeral Home Ravenna Chapel. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 AM Thursday, October 3, 2013 at Immaculate Conception Church with Fr. William Kraynak officiating. Burial will follow in Riverside Cemetery in Shalersville. In Iieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Robinson Visiting Nurse and Hospice, or the charity of your choice. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.sscfuneralhomes.com.
(Shorts-Spicer-Crislip 330-296-6858, RC 10-1-13)
My condolences to the family. Helen was a huge part of my childhood. I have many fond memories of spending time with the family. I miss getting together with the pot luck gang and am sorry I have not been able to visit up north more often. You are in my prayers.
To all of the family and friends of Helen;
I am thinking about everyone of you during this time of sorrow! I feel bad that I have not been up there much lately. I know that you all remember all of the great times that we had as kids growing up with Helen and the whole gang! I remember Helen as always being pleasant, positive, and fun loving!
Dave Plute
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Of all of our losses. Aunt Helen was a bright star on an otherwise dark sky. Shine on Aunt Helen Shine On,
My condolescens to those left behind to carry on ....
Lucy Crissinger and
Kyle Crissinger
Our deepest thoughts and prayers are extended to the family. May memories ease your sorrow and may time bring you peace. Dennis & Leanne Chalker
Uncle George and Family, We are so sorry for your loss as well as the loss to all of those who were fortunate enough to know Aunt Helen. You are all such a large part of our lives as we were growing up and still are today.
We will be keeping All of you in our thoughts and prayers.
God bless,
Love, Mike, Vicky, Zach, and Juliana Howe

Don't put ANYTHING else on your face today...just apply a light moisturizer and let your face heal/rest. Likely, the redness will go away on its on. As far as the pimples, nothing is going to get rid of them by tomorrow. And adding anything else will likely inflame your skin more and make the redness and stinging more intense.
I know that's not what you want to hear, but I hope your skin calms down and gets better.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Try J-27 or Laser 28 for much better performance than the Tartan 30, which is really long of tooth. They should come in for far less than $30K.
|Baboon - thanks for the suggestion. Have tracked down a couple tartans in my area that I'm going to take a look at. Like the idea of the tall rig for those light days. Thanks again.
|The Tartan 30 has a big deep cockpit and sails well. It would be tight for 4 overnight, but with kids probably ok until they get older. Singlehanding in any of these boats can be a challange since all are old and tend to lack self tailing winches, control lines to the cockpit etc. Finding one in good shape with the right upgrades can be a challenge. The T 30 was offered with a tall rig which has some advantages in light air.
|You might look for a Pearson Flyer. I've seen several for sale in New England that are well within your price range. They have a huge (8') cockpit with real seat backs, good for family daysailing. The interior is spacious but not much there other than settees. It's not a cruising boat, but you could certainly weekend on it. Good light air boat, good boat to start racing on. The big issue on these boats and on similar boats (J/30, J/29) is going to be finding one that has been well maintained or rehabilitated. The cheaper examples of all of these boats will likely need a lot of work (core replacement, rigging updates).
I'd agree that the Tartan 30 is a much better choice than the three you've got listed. A Cal 27 or Cal 30 would be a good choice too. While a lot of people like the J/30, I'd point out that a lot of them were raced very heavily, rode hard and put away wet... leaving a nightmare of issues for the next owner. Of course, that could also be said of the Cals...
If you're really looking for speed and performance, then a Corsair 28 might be a better choice... Multihulls do far better in light air and have performance characteristics that a monohull would be hard pressed to match.
You may want to check out the boat evaluations done by Good Old boat magazine. They also occasionally have boat comparison articles written by Ted Brewer where he compares 3 older class boats of a similar type. these articles are right up you alley for the question you asked. Critical to light air prefoprmance appears to be the sail area to displacement ratio. It's also critical that the boat suitable light air/racing sails. Often you have a roller furl which is a comprimise.
From my very limited experience in Penobscott Bay I'd look for a boat with a radar and possibly a class 2 AIS set although the latter is new and I don't have expereince with them.
|Thanks for the responses. I looked at a couple of Tartans online and they look interesting and in the right budget. Going to a yard next weekend to look at a Tartan 26 for 5,500 - guessing from the price that I can count on a lot of work. May be a bit small, but interested to check it out.
|My experience with a Cal 27 and a Tartan 30 are that the are good light air boats if the sails , especially the jib, are in good shape. 7 knots true will move them along ok. With your budget you could buy one in reasonable shape and repower, if you don't like the a4. If you use the a4 make sure you get a CO detector. My daughter was napping below when mine went off because of a leak in the exhaust manifold. Very glad I had it.
The three boats that you've mentioned aren't stellar light-air performers. We were in Penobscot Bay for about three weeks this summer, and can identify with the light air issue. A Pearson 30 or similar-sized but more modern C&C would provide you a much larger range (and enjoyable sails) in light air. A J/29 or J/30 would get you into the racing scene quickly, but might not have the daysailing cockpit space of other designs like the Tartan 10. (That design's great cockpit is offset by its accommodations below deck.) In Penobscot Bay there are likely some Sabre 34's, but that may be getting too big or expensive (and they might not be as quick as a J/30). Everything is a balance, so finding the right boat for you depends what you're willing to compromise on.
Need Help with an Upgrade
Hi all, I am just starting to do some research on potential upgrades for my Pearson Ensign. I'm looking for something in the 28ft-32ft size range under $30k. Having read a number of threads, I've seen that it's generally helpful to give a fair amount of background in order to generate relevant feedback (I say that as an upfront apology for what will probably be a long intial post )...so here goes:
I would cartegorize myself in a lower intermediate level with respect to sailing expereince/knowledge. I have a reasonably good understanding of basic sail trim concepts, but am not particularly rigorous when it comes to applying that knowledge (I'm looking to change that). I don't race and almost all of my expereince has been as a daysailor within enclosed bays on the Maine coast (mostly Penobscot Bay) where there are a lot of light air days in the summer (5-10 knots) together with pretty flat sea conditions (usually no more than 2ft-4ft waves).
I anticipate that the boats primary use will be as a day sailor and that I will frequently have several people on board (including my kids who will be 7,5 and 4 next summer), but also anticipate singlehanding frequently. I would like to take a couple of short cruises (1-3 days) each years and learn to race - if I had to choose, I would take speed and performance over cruising comfort.
Given the boat's likely primary use as a daysailor, I would define comfort by spacious cockpit and not the cabin. Given the age of the kids, I'm hoping to find a reasonably deep cockpit, but am not wedded to it.
I would like a sloop that performs well in light air (5-10 knots), points well, is highly responsive, fast and generally "fun to sail". As a point of reference, I find the Ensign a little sluggish (although I do love it).
Mine tend to run a little traditional - undercut stern, low profile doghouse..I'm a littel worried that this aesthetic may run counter to what I outlined in the "sailing" department above.
Improve my sail trim skills
Start racing
Teach my kids (my sister just got a Herreshof 12.5 which the kids will start on, so this would provide a step up for them down the road).
JeffH posted a very useful list on an old thread which I spent a fair amount of time looking at. The boats I find appealing from that list are:
C&C Redwing 30
Irwin Citation
Alberg 30.
What are people's opinions about the boats I listed above in the context of the criterea I outlined?
How do the boats compare to one another?
Are there other boats that people would recommend?
Appreciate any feedback - thanks!

History of Britain, by Simon Schama, (29hrs 20mins, BBC, £49.99)
"It's the way you tell it" is a dictum that applies as much to history as to jokes. Simon Schama's televisual way of describing, re-enacting and reassessing the history of Britain went down famously with critics and viewers recently, though I sometimes wished he'd spare us the scenery and get on with the story.
Eureka! This is Schama the consummate storyteller spinning yarns about the key players and events of our past and giving us a coherent picture with all the dots joined up - from the seaside villages of prehistoric Orcadians circa 5,000BC to the crowds thronging London for the funeral of Princess Diana.
Historians are as individual as chefs. Churchill's History of the English Speaking Peoples is as weighty as the author. Norman Davies's Europe: A History has so many inserts and footnotes that I lost the plot. Schama concentrates on characters: he's the master of the thumbnail sketch. Here's the turbulent priest: "Becket was the first Londoner to make a serious mark... with an instinctive flair for... display and costume, the getting and spending of money, theatre and even though his stomach was delicate, fine food and drink. He was street smart and book smart, a big league performer."
And Lord Curzon: "Someone described him as having the complexion of a milkmaid and the stature of Apollo. The viceroy's bearing was conspicuously erect, the ramrod posture only partly the effect of the steel and leather back-brace he had been forced to wear since adolescence. Every day he composed himself into an expression of stoic indifference to discomfort. It was the perfect pose of paramountcy - the burden that weighed but did not crush." Schama wisely declined to read the book himself; his voice is too light and chatty for an epic. Timothy West's - clear, measured and intelligent - hits the spot exactly.
Selections from the Diary of Samuel Pepys, (4hrs, Naxos, £11.99)
With all the praise heaped on Clare Tomalin's recent biography, it's easy to forget that the masterpiece is the diary itself. These delightful excerpts will whet your appetite for the complete work. Pepys reveals himself as ambitious, gregarious, libidinous, sentimental and, above all, honest. Michael Mallone's reading encompasses it all.

Boyfriends, Burritos & an Ocean of Trouble (Real Life)
by Nancy Rue
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book was really a good book. Makes u stop and think and even gives a bit of suspense in te mix.
Nancy Rue's YA books are like a breath of fresh air in Christian young adult fiction. While there are several good CF YA authors already in place, her stories are not just fluff and romance. She takes serious subjects and puts it in a teen's perspective with situations and answering questions that no one else pays attention to.
This book does not shy away from realistic issues that teens face. I'm sure that there are probably some parents who will think that this book is too mature for their teens and while it is their right, I believe that learning about how to handle this kind of situation will benefit teens. Bryn has found herself in an abusive relationship with almost no one to turn to. Many teen girls are either in this kind of relationship currently or have had abusive boyfriend in the past but never told a single person. The story shows the helplessness, fear and shame that comes with being in this situation. The behavior that she has to put up with is unbearable and even though I don't condone physical abuse from both sides, I really wanted this guy to feel the same pain and agony that he put on Bryn.However, there is some hope for Bryn as she finds this in her new relationship with her grandmother, the new guy she meets, and surfing.
I was particularly excited that parts of the book took place in my hometown area of Virginia Beach. I love seeing places I know show up in books so it was a very nice surprise and Rue portrayed our area very nicely. And kudos for mentioning burritos!
Some might complain that this book is preachy due to the Christian overtones found in the overall story and in the book that Bryn finds. However, I am going to have to disagree with this. Yes, I read a lot of Christian books and am a practicing member of the faith. BUT for a young adult fiction book, this story features so much more than just religion. Bryn is obviously going through A LOT of emotions and is involved in a dangerous situation with no one to turn to and almost no help in sight. It's her choice to turn to her faith to put her trust in and the way that Rue handles it is not at all in your face or proselytizing type of way. Pretty much all I can say is a quote from 12 step programs: "Take what you like and leave the rest." Because what Rue says in this book is something that a lot of teen girls need to hear but no one ever tells them and you can choose what you want out of this book. HIGHLY recommended.
Unlike other Christian fiction books I've read, this one has a heavy dose of Jesus. Not being Christian, I did find it a little preachy and skipped some pages. For those of you who do enjoy that element in Christian fiction, this is the book for you. All others, try it on for size — but it's not for everyone. ... please read the full review at: http://tipsyreader.com/books/reviews/book-review-boyfriends-burritos-trouble/
Do you remember the "ABC After School Special"? It was a program that dealt with real life situations that no one talked about. This book reminds me of that series. "Boyfriends, Burritos & an Ocean of Trouble" deals with teen relationship abuse - something that most of us don't even think about, let alone consider.
The main character, 15 year old Bryn O'Connor, dates her "dream guy" who ends up being the boyfriend from a nightmare. He's controlling and abusive but even worse, popular. When it comes to light Bryn is being abused by him, no one believes her and she walks from one nightmare into another.
This is a wonderful book that I would highly recommend giving to every teenage girl. Bryn is a wonderful role model, going from meek to a strong character. She learns about love, trust and taking risks, both in her physical and spiritual life.
If there is one book your teen needs to read this summer, this is the one!! It's not only well written and entertaining, but really has a powerful message about relationship abuse.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0310714850, Paperback)Secrets? Bryn O'Connor is good at keeping secrets. But when a car accident reveals her boyfriend's abusive behavior, the truth is unleashed. And it starts a tidal wave of trouble in Bryn's life: enemies who were once friends, a restraining order violation, and her world unraveled. If that weren't enough, her grandmother Mim arrives, attempting Mexican cuisine and insisting that Bryn try surfing. It's all too much! Even Bryn's habit of daydreaming won't offer an escape this time. But could a mysterious book she found hold the secret to riding a tsunami like her life?

Yayi International Inc. (YYIN.OB) Reports Strong Profit in Fiscal 2009
Yayi International Inc. (YYIN.OB) Reports Strong Profit in Fiscal 2009
Yayi International Inc. reported net income of $5.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in fiscal 2009, which ended October 31, 2009. In fiscal 2008, the company earned $1.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
Revenues for fiscal 2009 were reported at $24.8 million, up 14% from $21.8 million in fiscal 2008. The company attributed the revenue increase to an increase in volume, offset by a slight decrease in average price realized.
Li Liu, the CEO of Yayi International said, "We are pleased to report solid revenue and impressive gross and operating margins for our most recent fiscal year. Throughout the year our main focus has been on laying the foundation for repositioning our "Milk Goat" brand and expanding our production and distribution channels, while educating both our distributors and consumers regarding the benefits of goat milk."
Yayi International Inc. provided sales guidance for fiscal 2010 of between $43.9 million and $58.6 million. The company is expanding capacity by adding production lines to its facilities in Tianjin and Shaanxi, and expects this capacity to lead to higher revenue later in fiscal 2010.
Yayi International Inc. is a producer of goat milk formula products for infants and children. Its products are distributed through 3,600 retail outlets in China.

Target: United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack
Goal: To protect against any future incidences of genetically engineered crops appearing where unintended.
The genetic engineering of crops in any manner is a difficult topic filled with passionate viewpoints on both sides. The waters of this grow even murkier when factoring in genetically engineered crops for human consumption. Regardless of how one feels personally about the allowance of genetically modified seed crops, one thing is certain: they must be stringently controlled and regulated so as to ensure no one is subjected to them who does not wish to be. Sadly this has not proven to be the case, as genetically engineered grain from the company Monsanto was found contaminating an unwitting Oregon farmer's fields. The ramifications of this are most concerning.
This is not the first red flag raised by Monsanto. The company exercises dubious business practices earning it the title of "most evil corporation of the year" by NaturalNews. The company's ruthless business endeavors, such as the purchase of Delta and Pineland (the leading producer of cottonseed) to allow an overwhelming market share, have led to massive crop shares that have placed Monsanto's genetic material in roughly 95 percent of commercial soybean and 80 percent of commercial corn crops. Through fiscal bullying and a dominant market share the company has swatted away free-market competition. Even more critical has been the company's policy of aggressive proliferation of GMO seeds while opposing open pollination. This policy is directly tied to the company's irresponsible handling of sensitive crop materials, thus allowing genetically modified materials to begin appearing in unintended locations.
Rather than accept accountability Monsanto chief technology officer Robb Fraley declared that sabotage was a strong possibility. The lack of accountability goes hand in hand with the ruthless business practices enacted by Monsanto. Now is the time to stand up against Monsanto and its harmful business practices before the impact on our nation's agricultural industry becomes irreparable.
Dear Secretary Vilsack,
When a company has grown too large and too reckless it is harmful to both the micro-economy of that corporation's specific field and the macro-economy of the nation itself. Not only does it harm the free market, but also leads to dangerous and irresponsible business practices which stress results over ethics. Monsanto has become a corporate juggernaut in that economically powerful but ethically unscrupulous guise. The company projects an outward message of improving lives and agriculture through genetic engineering to mask the unsavory practices with which it conducts its business.
By buying up massive market shares the GMO-seed (genetically modified) proponent has laid waste to any measure of competitiveness within several crop markets, putting their genes into as high as 95 percent of a given crop (soybean in this case). In any other industry a market share that high would have already resulted in antitrust prosecution. The huge financial power that results from this high share creates a continuing chain, as witnessed by the 2006 purchase of the leading cotton seed producer to allow them to become a dominant force in yet another seed crop market. By pairing unrivaled expansion with the zealous espousing of their pro-GMO stance, the company has also aggressively worked against open pollination.
A result of this reckless and aggressive promotion of their seed has been the unintended proliferation into farms and fields where they were not originally planted. This happened in an Oregon farmer's fields where the genetically altered Monsanto grain was found interspersed within his own. Rather than accept culpability the company's chief technology officer alluded to sabotage as a means of separating Monsanto from fault. This cannot be allowed to continue. Monsanto's reckless and harmful corporate practices must be stopped before they cause irreparable damage to the nation's agricultural industry.

Like mixing chocolate and peanut butter, you've probably been tempted to try taking a picture of something on your CRT TV's screen with your digital camera. And while chocolate and peanut butter is a delicious combination, you may have had somewhat less successful results with your TV/camera experiment.
You probably got a picture that looked something like this. What happened? Well, a standard TV image is rendered from the top to bottom of the screen, one line at a time, about 30 times per second. So it's easy to see what went wrong: the picture was shot with a shutter speed that's too slow, so it caught the TV in the act of drawing the picture. Specifically, it caught the electron gun aimed somewhere in midframe, repainting the image, with a band of fading phosphors visible.
Shoot It Slow
Actually, the solution is simple. To catch a solid, complete image of the TV screen with your digital camera, you need to use a shutter speed of less than 1/30 second.
The easiest way to do that is to set your camera to its shutter priority mode (usually indicated by an "S") and use the camera controls to change the shutter speed until you see a speed of 1/15, 1/20, or 1/25 in the viewfinder. You'll probably find that choosing 1/30 on the nose is a little too fast; you'll still get a blank band somewhere in the frame. Go too slow, though, and the picture will start to blur simply from the motion in the video. I've found that 1/15 or 1/20 to be just about ideal for most situations. Here's a photo I captured at 1/20; it's a dramatic improvement over the first example, since I captured the entire image.
What if your camera doesn't have a shutter priority mode? Well, try the program mode. Usually, you can shift the shutter speed up or down by using the camera's controls--the aperture setting will change as well, ensuring that the exposure stays correct. Another alternative is to see if your camera offers a slow-shutter scene mode.
Mind the Details
That's the technique in a nutshell; now you know how to make a photographic record of the next time the Eagles concert airs. Then again, you could probably just buy the DVD instead. A better use of this newfound skill might be to add graphical punctuation on media commentary on your blog--or you could photograph your kid's high score while playing Zelda on the PlayStation.
But to get the best results while photographing images on your television, you should keep a few things in mind. A tripod will help get better results, for instance, since you're shooting at fairly slow shutter speeds and a shaky camera will make a blurry picture.
Also, shoot at night with the lights out, or draw the curtains during the day. Direct light on the TV screen will result in reflections and glare that can wash out the picture and create distractions.
Digital TVs Are Easier to Shoot
One last note about digital TVs, such as LCD and plasmas. These newfangled gadgets don't draw the picture on the screen in the same way as old CRT-based TVs. They create the picture using a mode called progressive scan, which means that the entire screen is refreshed simultaneously--no scan lines. So you don't have to worry about using a slow shutter speed on such TVs. Here's a shot of a plasma TV, taken at 1/60.

George Michael Suffers Cuts and Bruises Following M1 Car Crash
George Michael was a passenger in a single-car accident which took place in U.K. on Thursday, May 16. Daily Mail reported that an air ambulance took him to a trauma center because he was suspected having a head injury. Michael thankfully only suffered minor injuries and was released from hospital after receiving treatment.
A spokesperson for Michael, Connie Filippello, confirmed that the singer was involved in an accident. "George Michael was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a traffic accident yesterday evening. No third party was involved," Filippello said. She added that Michael had "superficial cuts" and was "fine" after the crash.
Michael's boyfriend Fadi Fawaz made a similar statement to the news outlet, "He is perfectly fine. Of course I was worried, but I have spoken to him and he is good. He suffered a few bruises but there is nothing to worry about. I have no idea what happened, I wasn't there."
Ambulance spokesman Gary Sanderson revealed the situation after the crash, "The man who we believe to be in his 40s sustained a head injury and following treatment, stabilization and immobilization by land and air ambulance crews, he was flown to hospital for further care."
A police spokesman said that the case is being investigated and he would not reveal further details, including the identity of the driver. "The exact circumstances of what happened are unclear at this time and until further investigations have been carried out it would be inappropriate for us to comment further," he said.
In September 2010, Michael was arrested in Hampstead, north London and was given an eight-week jail sentence after crashing his car into a store. He was also fined as much as 1,250 pound sterling and banned from driving for five years.

Let Nothing Disturb You
As Elizabeth Scalia reminds us today, St. Teresa of Avila said,
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things pass away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
He who has God
Finds he lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.
So easy to say; so hard to live. True, though.
