Do women actually consider the severity and trauma effects of of such a brutal and violent experience on not only themselves, but their fellow sisters? There was this straight up dykin' chick who came into my "preparing niggas for college class." This idiot hoe actually had nerve to enough to say that, "you don't have to show intimacy through sexual intercourse. You do it other ways such touching and mutual masturbation." I'm like "what the fuck?" That's the equivalent of coppin' a bag of sour diesel, going to Juan'em at the bodega to get a blunt, rollin' up the blunt, then puttin' the blunt on the coffee table and just looking at it. Y'all all know what's going to happen to that blunt, you've going to take that muthafucka to the head on be "on one." This fool ass dykin' bitch wench was encouraging young and impressionable women to knowingly put themselves into dangerous situations. How dykes express intimacy isn't the same in the normal heterosexual world.
Also, you have to factor in all of the false rape allegations that have come down through the years. Kobe, the Duke Lacross team, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, and Greg Kelly, (NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly's son,) these are the high profile cases we know about. Just thing about about the poor dudes who don't have the power, influence, and money to "lawyer up," and took the plea deal, or lost at trial. Also adding insult to injury, are women's organizations such as N.O.W. who want to claim that there's a "stigma," and these supposed victims need to be protected. Okay, cool, if there's a stigma to rape and women want it to be taken seriously, shouldn't feminists be the first ones demanding that women be prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law? Shouldn't feminist align themselves with men's rights advocates demanding that filing a false rape allegation be classified as a "hate crime?" Then there's the press that withhold these malevolent and vile creatures from the public that only goes to facilitate this nonsense. The alleged prepetrator has his identity known and is reputation smeared, while the lying bitch gets to hide behind the cloak of anonymity, even after the allegations are proved false. If you remember in the Duke case, (as with any false rape case,) the press will still refer to the mendacious hoe as the "victim." If there was no rape, what is the purpose in not revealing her identity.
As usual, it's us men that are held to higher standard and level of responsibility. We're suppose to acknowledge that "no means no," and for the sake of our personal freedom, it's on men to take all of the necessary precautions to in order to prevent becoming the victim of a false rape allegation. However, women bare none of the responsibility in regards to putting themselves into a situation in which a rape can occur, hell as I previously stated, they falsely accuse you of the heinous act with impunity. If women are going to hold the severity and rape in such a low regard, then ole Rex will treat rape will even less severity and seriousness. For Rex to be more concern about a situation more than you are is a twisted and perverse situation that Rex isn't going to entertain or be a part of.

Our Year 'On the Road': Creating New Ways of Thinking and Making in L.A. | KCET
Our Year 'On the Road': Creating New Ways of Thinking and Making in L.A.
Developed as a year-long series of architecture, art, and design events intended to frame a moment in time within the contemporary context of the city of Los Angeles, On the Road, titled after its nomadic events and L.A. street named programming, is a collaboration between like-minded thinkers, makers and doers in Los Angeles: Courtney Coffman, Jonathan Louie, Danielle Rago and James Michael Tate. Born out of a shared desire to create a platform for new ways of thinking and making in Los Angeles, that engages a discipline and culture with contemporary ideas about architecture, design, and art, we formed the group in May 2013, and soon after began our journey On the Road.
Story continues below
Since day one, we have put a definitive one-year time frame on the project, as our aim is to have a set number of high impact bespoke programs, rather than an indefinite number of events that eventually fizzle out over time. The year-long series can be seen as a single performance, with a series of acts artfully documented by Form Follows Function, as well as other artists who have donated their time and craft to the documentation of the otherwise fleeting events. Organizing events that vary in scope, format and scale, we are interested in exploring various formats for display and exhibition outside of a traditional white-cube gallery space, and in various sites and distinct venues throughout the city of L.A. From parking lots to highway medians, and residential streets and mailboxes, sites vary based on the intention of each program.
Temple @ Alameda
Our inaugural On the Road event took place on June 2, 2013, and was situated at the intersection of Temple and Alameda Streets in Downtown Los Angeles. The one-day exhibition took the form of five U-Haul trucks, parked in front of MOCA's Geffen Contemporary. With the back doors wide open, invited participants treated the trucks as a base scaffold, installing projects in, on, and around the trucks. Instigated as a response to MOCA's contemporary architecture show, titled "A New Sculpturalism," part of the Getty's Pacific Standard Time initiative, "On the Road / Temple @ Alameda / 20130602" featured work from studio practices formed within the past five years -- practices whose work echos and extends the rich history of experimentation in Los Angeles, for artists and architects alike.
Interested in dialogues rather than conflict, On the Road attempted to bridge the lineage, from MOCA's "A New Sculpturalism Show" to a new group of emerging architects and artists, whose work is in its early stages of forming a clear position. Projects exhibited ranged from analytic explorations in architecture to more conceptual projects driven by philosophical pursuits to more temporal ephemeral pieces that existed only for the duration of the event. On the Road hopes that our programs support the development and refinement of one's position about their work.
ON THE ROAD PROJECT: 20130825 GLENDALE @LA CLEDE from FORM follows FUNCTION on Vimeo.
Thank You For Coming
While our first program was large in scope and scale, our second program quite literally borrowed our name, On the Road. We situated the project in a way that it would bookend the physical space of Thank You For Coming's restaurant in Atwater Village. We chose to have the event occur during their dinner hours, which began in the late afternoon and ended an hour or so after the sun when down. The notion of time passing, relationships between things, and physical boundary -- threshold conditions -- were primary drivers.
While the open kitchen and dining area of the restaurant is a defined space, we hoped to expand the site for one evening by incorporating the Glendale Boulevard highway median that sits within six heavy lanes of traffic, as well as the quiet, more remote exterior space in the back of the restaurant. We envisioned this site as an expanded threshold, a continuous space with different qualities and environments, as visitors moved from the front to the rear. Challenging the concept of physical boundary, our program invited three artist collectives to explore and exploit the spatial conditions within the threshold through diverse artistic mediums. They were also encouraged to respond to the interior programming at the artist-run kitchen, which at the time was Jason Metcalf's Special Meal, a project that prepared and served the last meals of death row prisoners to the restaurant patrons. Projects shifted across the three varied sites, from a highly reflective sculptural work positioned on the median, to performance pieces enacted in front of a live audience of restaurant patrons, to a zen sound and light projection occurring in the intimate space of the rear yard.

West of La Brea
Now in its third iteration, our next event will take place on Sunday, November 17, from 10-4 p.m., as a decentralized drawing exhibition at various residential sites on the Westside of Los Angeles. We chose the area West of La Brea because of the way it captures the essence of how the single-family residential unit has been so impactful and fruitful to producing the identity of Los Angeles, as well as its architecture. Participants are asked to directly engage with and respond to a residential house -- either iconic, or part of the vernacular landscape of Los Angeles -- through the medium of drawing on a standard 4x6-inch postcard, to be reproduced 150 times, and placed in the mailbox on the morning of November 17. While this container was once an essential component of the house, digital forms of communication have all but rendered the letterbox obsolete. Emphasizing a distribution system outside of the institution, as much as our program exists outside of an institution itself, On the Road participants will engage this traditional format of communication. A map posted online (seen below) for visitors to navigate the various sites will allow the public to move at will, between some or all of the sites, pulling postcards from the various mailboxes, and curating their own collection -- simultaneously engaging both the physical and representational object of the house.
Engaging with architecture, as much as with each other and the City of Los Angeles, are the motives and intellectual rigor behind our year-long program. On the Road has been and is very much a movement in direction, with a conversive group of colleagues; acknowledging that there are shared interests and overlaps, but also distinct personalities and pursuits. We see the program as a vehicle for advancing the positions of young architects, artists, and designers, and at times blurring their distinctions and encouraging them to carpool.
On the Road: West of La Brea will take place on Sunday, November 17, from 10-4 p.m. at various locations. More details can be found here.

I remember the movie "What Women Want", a romantic movie directed by Nancy Meyers and starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt.
Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) electrocuting himself on a little accident with his electric hairdryer during his shower. A somewhat chauvinistic advertising executive Nick, suddenly turning haywire and enables him to hear what women think (his target market customers).
Nick realize that his "gift" let him know the best insight from his target customers. He listen those noise carefully to help the business decision on developing corporate products.
Life is becoming so beautiful if marketers have a "gift" like Nick. All sound from their customers mind are clearly speakable, all product will meet what customer need, and we all can say a good bye-bye for word "complaints".
Unfortunately, it's only happen on movies, because in the real world customer mind is a big mystery, and everyone willing to pay a big cash just to hear a lil part of that valuable voices.
On the movie nick become so dizzy when he walk through a room with a full of woman, because everybody mind on those room is speak and event yelling to him. It is pretty the same when we talk about social media where your customer, client, partners, employees or event competitors are talking.
if you ignore them, a thousand meteors will fall from the sky to crush your bone… hehe…
When people talks, it is time to you to start listen them, if you do nothing, you'll gonna miss a bunch of good opportunities or event worst to late to knowing that your company is facing a huge management crisis.
Thing will be very different when you take a good listen to your market where ever they talking, including at social media, but remember to take a good listen, and be prepare with a good strategy to decide what topic to listen first.
For last but not least.

The Estelle located in the middle of a long stretch of shoplots up at Northcote was to be where we would have dinner.
Apart from the complimentary items, we were impressed with how understanding these people were. When I called for a booking, I was told there were 2 slots; 6.15pm and 8.30pm. We took the earlier option and hoped that 2 hours would be a long enough time to catch up and eat up (if they attempted to kick us out).
Thankfully, they did not mention to us at all about vacating the table because we were starting to sweat when one of the guests was stuck at a traffic jam and she eventually arrived 45 minutes late.
Our first meal was a beet root salad with goats curd rolled in black sesame. Simple and matter of fact probably required very little cooking. However the key to the dish was the simplicity and it was a good start to eat the contrasting flavour of vegetable and curd together.
It also reminded me of Esquire, a place in Brisbane that has a similar concept in terms of food but in a more formal dining environment.

I was treated to a very illuminating tour of Amsterdam a few weeks ago, by Pascal van den Noort from Velo Mondial. He showed me something about Amsterdam that I really hadn't noticed myself, despite many visits, and which runs counter to idealised notions of european modelled good urbanism.
Stop reading for a moment, and go type "Copenhagen" into Google Maps. Zoom in a little. Note the main streets. Now click on the bicycling layer. You will see the protected cycle tracks and the main roads are aligned. Cyclists have the same image of their city as everyone else.
Now type in "Amsterdam" and follow those same steps. You will see significant networks for cyclists and networks for drivers are quite often out of alignment.
There are the streets we all rave about, where the car is the guest or where there are safe cycle tracks, but there are also car-centric streets where the cyclist is deliberately made to feel very unwelcome.
Copenhagen has far fewer bridges than Amsterdam, and a lot of large perimeter blocks with no lanes cutting through. Were it not for the limited number of thoroughfares via which all modes of traffic have to be funnelled, I think they would have decoupled bike routes from car routes and gotten cyclists away from the the fumes and the noise. In some ways they are decoupling the two, gradually, with non-vehicular bridges and park connectors, but those are exceptions to the general rule.
And that rule is a compromise solution. Sure, you can post-rationalise it as giving everyone the same "image of the city". In his 1960 book of that title Kevin Lynch said a man [sic] would need to know his city by the same pathways as everyone else to "operate successfully within his environment and […] co-operate with his fellows" (Lynch, 1960, p.46). That's fine while ever you're taking about cyclists and pedestrians who are engaged with their surroundings. But drivers are only looking at road signs and each others bumpers. Their blurred image of the city might as well be of an underground tunnel.
For now though, let's just allow drivers to keep the streets they have turned into Vegas, with their big signs, petrol stations, and metered parking spaces in front of their horrible shops. I've seen too many ideologically driven, but misguided bicycling advocates, campaigning for years for bike space on those streets. Their "big win", after years of campaigning, is usually the kind of unwelcoming door-zone cycle track that Amsterdam would provide on a street where cyclists aren't meant to feel welcome.
The way forward is by decoupling, finding what I call the city's natural cycle space layer, and accepting that cyclists will have an alternative cognitive map of their city. I'm so glad to see London finally looking to formalise the networks of backstreets and waterways that long-term bike commuters have known for so long.
Speaking now to the entrepreneurs among you: you should be developing property and opening up shops along those cycle space routes. I'm not sure how you will pay me for this advice. You'll think of something.
I'm sorry to any regular readers who may have been disappointed by the infrequency of my posts lately. If you look at my news page, you will see I've been pretty busy; let's be frank, my big idea of making bicycle planning the focus of my work as an architectural theorist and designer, has taken off big time.
As for my writing time, in coming months a lot of it will be spent working on my next book, that I met with my publishers last month to plan. You can help me that, with intelligent feedback on blog posts. Most of the comments I get are retarded 😉

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: VHF Output
There may be a problem with the cable that you are using between the radio and your antenna meter. I suggest that you try another jumper cable. If the reading is still low, you should consider the possibility that your meter is not working properly. Borrow another meter from someone and compare readings.
Re: VHF Output
You're making a number of generalizations which aren't accurate.
Whether or not the VHF has regulation is not in question. The microcontroller driving the menu, the screen, backlights, audio amplifier for speaker, beeper for registering button presses the serial interface to external GPS's, the flash memory for storing settings etc. etc....these internal devices all require various regulators to create whatever voltage(s) they each require - probably linear because they're low power but perhaps one or more bucks to knock down the bulk of the voltage more efficiently. The only question, because I don't have the analog/amplifier or VHF radio experience say with certainty is how would the amplifier react.
As for mass market devices well those cheap compact Apple imitation square AC USB chargers use high frequency switching supplies for a few bucks. This dual usb car charger is $5.54 putting out 2A@5V and certainly isn't using a linear regulator which would mean 2A@12V in for a loss of 14+ watts - not in that small package (I have this in my boat). So you're completely underestimating the prevalence and low cost of various regulators, as well as their outright necessity for modern low voltage electronics.
For example something like the victron battery monitor won't have anything that internally runs on 12V. It's all regulated down. This generally applies to other marine instruments. For what it's worth I've designed 50A shunt sensing 12V current measurement circuits.
Again, we're largely wasting everyone's time with this debate except for the small area where this stuff intersects debugging marine equipment. The point to what I'm saying is that with modern digital based equipment, input voltage issues are farther down on the priority list of debug than they might have been in the past. Not to mention the fact you keep glossing over which is that all these radios are specified to operate between 10V and 15V - if 10+V is getting to the VHF when transmitting at full power that's in spec (if and only if it's 10+ volts WHILE transmitting and drawing full power). The next logical debug step is to look elsewhere. Of course starting the engine to raise the input voltage is low hanging fruit and I don't discourage it.
The fact that two entirely different radios measure the same (how close was it actually?) output power calls the tester in question more than anything else. It's kind of like measuring two cars maxing out at 35Mph with the same speed gun and concluding the gas is bad. Two different radios would have significantly different reactions to low voltage/high resistance input power which makes seeing the same output power pretty unlikely.
Edit: This picture actually shows the IC and inductor for the internal 10W buck conveter (DC-DC) of this $5 usb car charger.
Re: VHF Output
"Buck converters (step-down), boost converters (step-up) and buck/boost converters (anything to anything) aren't special. They're in almost every electronic device over a few watts.... on the oder of $15 in lowish quantities."
Actually, not. First of all, dcd-dc converters of any type are not used in anything like a mass or majority of consumer electronics. Bulk regulators, when needed. But anything more? No, not without a real need. You go add $15 worth of components, or even $5 worth of components, to a VHF that is designed to sell for $100-150. You'll bump the retail price by $20-30 and lose market share, that's the reality of the mass market. If you can knock one buck, one dime, off each board? That's sometimes the difference between success and bankruptcy. That's just the way it is. And there are engineers who are hired specifically to say "OK, we've got this, what can we knock out of it?" including electronic components.
What you would like, has been proven impossible in the mass market. In a $500 VHF, sure, you could expect that. And we could all buy bespoke suits instead of khakis. Ain't gonna happen.
"A cheap incandescent flashlight won't have regulation but a good LED one will." Not really. Many LED flashlights have no regulation, they rely on the battery voltage being the limit and don't regulate anything. SOME use upconverters, in order to get a 4.5V white LED running off a single AA cell, but that's because it has to be done that way--not because someone wanted to spend the money doing it. Others use *power* regulators, simply because using a power regulator on a $10 prime LED can double the operating life, and some folks will pay for that. Again, it is not mass market. Like a Bose stereo, they ay sell a lot of them, but it is not mass market.
"but being able to put out 25W on your VHF at 11.5V in a boat is a pretty damn good reason for regulation. " Not really. If all you can supply is 11.5 volts, the "operator" has already failed to maintain their nominal power supply. That's user error, failure, and not common operating mode. In order to make that happen with an ordinary regulator, you'd have to design the whole radio to work at 10.5v,not 11.5, then add a regulator which only had a one-volt power drop in it. Oh yes, all regulators consume power and further reduce source voltage, until you get into dc-dc converters and then again you drive the costs up AND you create RFI in the radio itself, which makes a bad thing even worse.
You think you can do a DC-DC regulator to make your VHF happy with 11.5 volts for under $15? Great, wire it up, hook it on! But the industry has good reasons for not doing it, starting with that HUGE $15 extra cost, from their point of view.
Sure, there are all sorts of new poewr supply chips on the market now. They still cost money. They still need engineering expenses. They still need HEAT SINKS which means more space and more money again. You're not going to do the job with a 2mm x 2mm chip.
And coming back to the most important point of all: 99% of the buyers have no need for it, no understanding or appreciation for it, and no budget for it. Did I mention, "Ain't gonna happen." ?
For those buyers who want better emergency operation, buying a $20 dedicated VHF battery and mounting it behind the radio will do very nicely. It will buy you more protection that any regulation of the vulnerable ship's power system.
But coming back full circle, if you've tested two radios and both put out the (curiously same) 15W of power...I'd look to what you are feeding them. Especially since both are being degraded to the same power level, indicating that's all the power they can find on the DC line. tell me how easy it is to improve the electronics--when the way simpler problem of wiring is still apparently in the way?
First fix it. Then worry about whether it needs to be improved.
Re: VHF Output
Buck converters (step-down), boost converters (step-up) and buck/boost converters (anything to anything) aren't special. They're in almost every electronic device over a few watts. Not just because of efficiency but because efficiency means less heat and thus smaller size (dissipating heat takes size). I've designed them and specified them and a 5W fully integrated (mosfet/inductor included) buck starts at a couple bucks in low quantities. A 25-50W converter, non-isolated, fully integrated is on the oder of $15 in lowish quantities.
As a neat aside there is a simple device called a Hydraulic ram that can literally move water upwards and is exactly analogous to a step-up DC-DC boost converter.
A cheap incandescent flashlight won't have regulation but a good LED one will. Sure if there is no reason for regulation there will be no regulation but being able to put out 25W on your VHF at 11.5V in a boat is a pretty damn good reason for regulation.
An MPPT controller is a buck/boost or perhaps a more exotic topology or variant, marinized and controlled by a microcontroller with a special charge algorithm. The expense results from the standard combination of ruggedization and low quantity production and perhaps an emphasis on efficiency adds a bit more cost. But the power conversion involved, variable dc-dc by itself isn't especially expensive. This is why it's so common.
If the lawyers really looked over the manual AND the performance does significantly degrade while still within the stated operating range of 9.5-15.8V THEN there would be a problem. Hence why I still suspect it's unlikely.
Note, all this stuff I'm talking about has come down in price significantly over the years along with everything else computer related. Power supply design used to mean discrete op-amps and lots of other chips. Now IC's 2x2mm include all the control circuitry for 50W+ supplies and their higher frequencies cut down the size of the inductors, capacitors or transformers needed. So perhaps in years past nothing I'm saying now applied.
Back to the thread I do agree that checking the voltage is a good idea. Certainly outside the stated operating range all bets are off. But if I saw 10 or 11V while transmitting at full power I'd look elsewhere for the problem. Hence why I asked why you thought otherwise.
Re: VHF Output
"obviously you can get any amount of power from any voltage or convert one voltage to another if needed." No, you can't. There are separate limits on voltage and current, depending on source and other physical limits (like wire size and length). While you can convert voltage to current and vice versa, you need special equipment to do that with DC circuits, or transformers to do it on AC. Since we're talking about DC here, the answer is that you can't convert voltage to current, or vice versa, without considerable extra expense. Think of what an MPPT solar controller costs--that's active conversion.
"Nothing is stopping them at the least from throwing a DC-DC on the front end."
Wanna add even 1/4 of that MPPT cost to your average VHF radio?
"Also it's unlikely for circuits to run off external voltages directly." Unlikely only if you don't know about electronics. While some circuits are regulated, there is no reason to internally regulate devices that are powered from a specific and limited DC power source. Got a flashlight that uses 2 D cells? No need to regulate it, you KNOW it is running off 3VDC maximum and the amperage doesn't matter, the bulb will self-limit that.
Same thing for a DC car stereo or a VHF radio. Regulators cost money AND consume power AND take up space in the product AND add to warranty costs because anything can and will fail in some percent. Vendors know--for a fact--that a "12VDC" system is going to be regulated to a maximum of 14.4 volts, by industry convention. And that a dead battery will limit the lower end to about 12 volts at any effective power draw. So there's no need to regulate the equipment, because your alternator already is regulating it. Yes, that regulator can fail too and when it does, it is expected that everything running off it will have failures.
So the way these things are done? Unregulated, and that's plenty good enough. Your problem has got nothing to do with regulation or power conversion, you've probably got a simple problem of old cheap wiring, or wiring that was botched. And those problems can kill any electronics, no matter how many redundant layers of "protection" you add onto them.
"This ...doesn't suggest by itself that output power would go down at lower voltages. " You're reading a CONSUMER manual designed to help you operate the radio, not an engineering course. Odds are there's a section up front from the lawyers, telling you not to operate it in a bathtub or the rain, but very little about what lightning and alternator failures and other issues can do to the radio. And they've got no reason at all to confuse you with technical graphs showing how the circuits degrade once you go outside the operating parameters. Moisture? Temperature? Dew point? They'll all affect operations, just like high or low voltage will. See the graph anyplace that tells you how much they'll affect it? Or even operating limits?
And do you think anyone wants to scare the customer by confusing them with numbers, like, "This product will suffer an additional 10% total harmonic distortion when operated on 11.9 volts, and 20% harmonic distortion plus blah blah intermodulation and frequency splatter at 11.5 volts..."
Oh yeah, that would help everyone.
If you want technical information, look to technical sources, not a consumer manual. Look to technical radio reviews. The ARRL has them for members, for ham radios, and they're very explicit about these issues. For marine radios...damfino who does lab reviews of them.
Re: VHF Output
Ok. Just piques my curiosity because obviously you can get any amount of power from any voltage or convert one voltage to another if needed. Nothing is stopping them at the least from throwing a DC-DC on the front end. Also it's unlikely for circuits to run off external voltages directly. Except for special cases most chips run from 5V or lower (usually 3.3V, 1.8V, 1.2V or less) so all electronics in a 12V application have some form of regulation that usually leaves them immune from reasonable changes on the input. That said I know little about VHF amplifiers specifically and their voltage needs.
I just skimmed the manual for one random radio (UM380) and it does repeatedly cite 13.8V, but it's done in the context of specifying current. I.E. 6A @ 13.8V when transmitting at 25W. This implies current might vary based on voltage but doesn't suggest by itself that output power would go down at lower voltages. Anyway, fairly minor detail.
Re: VHF Output
"How come you're assuming this?"
From comments and instructions from various radio manufacturers, and observing the operations (including power output) of various transmitters operating at reduced voltage or restricted amperage.
In order to get power out, you need power in. The amount of amplification is fixed, so if there's not "enough" power in, you'll get less power out. Often stated in transmitter specs, where they'll say the rig is designed for 13.8 volts (typical "12" volt radios) or in the case of very good equipment, it may actually be rated for full power at 12 volts or less.
And fwiw, at 9 volts, or even 11 volts, you can expect significant distortion and other problems, not just a weak signal.
We had an old VHF that was refusing to transmit. I figured, old transmit button, something's worn out, fix the button. Autopsied the button, couldn't find any problem. DID find a punked out fuse connection--and that's all it took to stop the radio from transmitting completely.

Re: VHF Output
If two different radios each showed as 15W when connected to the same power line, that would indicate you are not getting enough power to the radio. Could be undersize wire too long, could be crud at connections, could be other issues but wiring sounds like #1.
Try getting a 20-30W light bulb, a cheap incandescent bulb, and hooking it up where the radio goes. Use a dmm to check voltage and amperage, because "filament" bulbs are self-limiting and if it says 25W on the bulb, it will damned well draw 25W from the lines if that is available. If you don't see it drawing that much power, you have a supply problem.
Re: VHF Output
Thanks all, I guess I should test the radio with the engine running although I keep the boat plugged into the dock so I should have full power. I also tested another spare radio and it showed 15w. I'm just hoping that something else is not damaged that I overlooked. If my antenna cable was damaged would the tester show a good antenna? Rick

An important goal of this blog is providing useful information to women. It is clear to observers of the human condition that female members of this planet are in need of advice on how to conduct themselves when on a date. It is important for women to understand their conduct toward males can result in damage to themselves if they fail to meet high standards of proper decorum. So, in hope of assisting our backward thinking female readers, we present some words of advice from English Judge Mary Mowat. Judge Mowat told the Oxford Mail that her years of presiding on cases dealing with rape had led to certain ideas that would prevent such violence against women.
1. The problem with rape cases is it consists of "one person's word against another, and the burden of evidence is that you have to be sure before you convict.
2. The only way to reduce the act of rape is when woman "stop getting so drunk." In other words, to prevent a penis penetrating your body is to cease DRINKING!
3. According to Mowat, it is difficult to convict a rapist if women keep on saying, "I can't remember what I said." So, women keep sober, write down everything you say to the man during the date, and judges like Mowat can be prepared to urge conviction.
We intend to publish a "rape journal outline" that women can carry with them at all times.
Remember, WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING YOU SAY!

He was not an important Egyptian political leader or excellent student or prominent businessmen, just an ordinary man who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Egyptian security police grabbed him, punched and kicked his body before finally shoving his head against a marble shelf in a cafeteria. The official police report said Khaled Said died of asphyxiation by swallowing narcotics. Unfortunately, for the Egyptian government the blooded battered face of Mr. Said is now all over the Internet and no one believes he killed himself. Mohamed ElBaradei, former UN nuclear chief, has joined in protests against the Mubarak government for its atrocious civil rights abuses. Hopefully, if there is the slightest chance of an honest election for president, ElBaradei will take on the authoritarian ruler of the country.
Egypt remains an important hope for Middle Eastern peace if it can become an economic giant and use its influence in the cause of peace. It needs leadership like that of ElBaradei who has a humanitarian grasp of the world and seeks creation of a democratic society.

When will Cars Fly?
It used to be that a flying car only seemed possible in the movies. These days, however, the world is closer than ever to experiencing this mind-boggling phenomenon. Cars may be flying sooner than you think.
The sky is the limit
The futuristic automobiles could be on the road – or sky – by 2017. As Forbes reported, Juraj Vaculik, CEO and co-founder of Slovakian company AeroMobil, made the announcement at the 2015 South by Southwest, held in Austin, Texas, that a car with stowable wings could be out within two years.
"A car with stowable wings could be out within two years."
Not only does the company expect to bring its project to fruition sooner than expected, it also anticipates commercializing the product a lot earlier than planned. People who have a knack for fancy cars and an interest in technology might soon be able to park the hybrid vehicle in their garage at the estimated price of a few hundred thousand dollars.
A race to the top
Turns out, AeroMobil isn't the only company working on a flying car. Terrafugia is also known for being at the forefront of this ground-breaking technology. In 2013, Business Insider stated that the company, which was founded by five MIT-trained engineers, was well on its way to releasing its first model, the Transition, a small plane that also drives on the road.
To come up with the Transition, the engineers started by researching possible roadblocks to flying. They came up with four issues including price points, weather, airport travel and where to land the vehicles.
Once they identified these obstacles, they created Transition so it can fly at 100 miles per hour, get 20 miles to the gallon and drive at up to 35 miles per hour. Similar to AeroMobil's brainchild, Transition also has wings that can fold, making it easy to store the vehicle in a garage.
The next best thing
Several other companies are rumored to be working on futuristic automobiles. It's to be seen who will win the race to commercialize the flying car. However, in the mean time, the world can tide itself over with the XTI Aircraft, touted by Popular Mechanics as "better than a flying car."
According to Popular Mechanics, the XTI Aircraft isn't quite a flying car. It's a small jet that promises to bring people from point A to point B. Created by David Brody and a team of aviation experts, the TriFan 600 has two gas-turbine engines, two wing-mounted fans and can reach a speed of up to 400 miles per hour and an altitude of 30,000 feet.
Questions will arise
With so many players in the game, it's inevitable that the world will see a flying car within the next few years whether it's 12 months or a decade from now. The real question is – then what? In the same way that Amazon has had to navigate the choppy legal waters of delivering packages via drones, aviation experts who've invented flying cars will then be left with a number of decisions.
Flying car companies will eventually have to learn how to offer drivers insurance and mitigate risks associated with flying and driving. It might be a rocky road to meeting stringent requirements that must be met for a car to get on the road and a plane to get in the sky. But it will happen.

Daily Summary on USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CAD and RMB
• US releases a string of strong data output
• GBP weakens to 2-month lows
• JPY tumbles with equity sell-offs as markets look to higher-yields
USD – The most significant US data releases this week are on the housing market, consumer confidence, and the second release of GDP. Home prices rose in the 12 months through March by the most in seven years as the recovery in residential real estate gained momentum. The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values increased 10.9% from March 2012, the biggest 12-month gain since April 2006, after advancing 9.4% in February. In May, confidence among U.S. consumers climbed to the highest level in more than 5 years as views on the economy and labor market improved. The Conference Board's index rose to 76.2, the strongest since February 2008, exceeding the highest estimate in a survey of economists. The gain in sentiment coincides with rising property values and stocks that are providing a boost for household balance sheets at the same time as the job market heals. On Thursday, the 2nd release of GDP will be reported with a revision to the data not expected. However, it will still be interesting to see if market expectations are met and if the strong figures from the first quarter are indeed kept unchanged. The US dollar is deriving support from rising US yields on the back of heightened expectations that the Fed will soon taper QE, with 10-year yields moving back above the 2.0%-level for the first time since mid-March. Incoming economic data releases will be important to determine the timing of tapering although today's releases of US house price data for March and consumer confidence for May is unlikely to materially alter tapering expectations.
EUR – The euro is largely range bound ahead of a holiday shortened week. US markets resumed trading after the Memorial Day holiday with the single currency in the lower end of recent ranges below $1.29. Although market focus remains on the possibility of further interest rate cuts to boost the economy, the ECB is also exploring other ways to kick start growth. ECB policymaker Ewald Nowotny commented today that the central bank is also exploring ways to boost banks' liquidity including reviving the asset backed securities market and lowering markdowns on assets used as collateral in an effort to get more money circulating through the economy. The unconventional approaches maybe timely for Europe as it remains mired in recession. The euro zone Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) registered only a slight increase in May at 47.7 last week, remaining well below the 50 threshold denoting expansion for the 16 straight month. On a more hopeful note, Consumer Confidence in the region improved slightly to -21.9 also in May from -22.3. Given this, the euro is likely to remain under pressure until signs of a turnaround emerge.
GBP – The pound weakened to near 2-month lows, currently trading at 1.5062. The UK returns from a long weekend and news flow has been limited. The weakness in the pound is due to positive news coming out of the US as residential property values increased 10.9% and US consumer confidence index rose to 6.2, the strongest level since February 2008. Tomorrow brings the UK nationwide house prices and Friday will contain mortgage approvals and Gfk consumer confidence figures.
JPY – The Japanese yen tumbled as global equity markets leaned toward higher-yielding trades. BoJ policy makers are trying to provide support to the equity markets while limiting volatility in the JGB. Markets are watching the Japanese equity market causing the JGB to rise above 1.0% on 10-year yields, which ultimately weighed on Japanese stocks. Analysts expect the yen to remain weak due to BoJ's aggressive monetary easing and equity selloffs. The yen currently trades at 102, weakening from last week's climb close to 100.
Commodity currencies – The Australian dollar traded just 0.6% from levels last seen in 2011 on speculation the Federal Reserve may begin tapering quantitative easing after US data showing improvement in residential real estate and consumer confidence. The one month volatility of the Aussie versus the US dollar is near its highest point in a year. Demand has been down for the Australian and New Zealand currencies due to a slowdown in Chinese growth which will reduce the antipodean countries' exports. China, Australia and New Zealand's largest trading partner, is releasing a PMI reading on June 1. If this release contains negative data, it could further push the RBA for another rate drop in their next meeting. The Canadian dollar is also falling for a 3rd day against the US dollar. Tomorrow's BoC announcement will be the last led by departing Governor Carney and no major shifts are expected from the meeting.
RMB – The yuan closed on a weaker note today in China after the fixing rate was set lower. The onshore market (CNY) closed at 6.1215, down from Monday's close of 6.1211, while the offshore market (CNH) hit 6.2189. Despite the pause in the appreciation trend, expectations remain for China's currency to continue gaining ground with the PBOC already lifting the yuan to a series of record levels this year and pushing the currency to new highs 7 times this month. Premier Li reiterated yesterday that China will continue to move forward on market reform as PBOC is takes steps to expand the yuan to a fully flexibe currency with expectations for the central bank to further widen the 1% (rise and fall of the) trading band currently allowed. Moody's also reiterated that China's 2013 GDP will come in close to 8% and that GDP will remain in a 7 to 8% range through 2017. The market will, however, keep its eye on this week's PMI figure due out on Friday to assess the effect on not only China, but how commodity currencies like the Aussie might fare.

Canada Conservatives cling to surplus pledge despite watchdog report
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's Conservative government insisted on Wednesday it would balance the country's books this year despite a watchdog's report that said economic weakness would turn the narrow budget surplus the Conservatives pledged into a billion-dollar deficit.
The Conservatives, facing an Oct. 19 general election, have repeatedly cited their plan to deliver Canada's first budget surplus since the financial crisis as evidence of their strong economic credentials.
But the office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO), which has a mandate to provide independent analysis to lawmakers, forecast on Wednesday a deficit of C$1.0 billion ($770 million) for 2015-16, after using up the budget's C$1 billion contingency reserve and factoring in other economic developments.
The government's budget in April had projected a C$1.4 billion surplus plus the reserve. The economy has since been struggling due to sharply lower prices for oil, a major Canadian export.
Defending the government's target, Rob Nicol, spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, noted there was already a budget surplus of C$3.95 billion for April and May, compared with a C$1.15 billion deficit for the same period in 2014.
He did not say whether the government would implement more spending cuts to ensure a surplus, but Liberal legislator Scott Brison said: "With the economy flat-lined, with the economy actually shrinking, it's not a time to cut further."
Brison declined to say if the Liberals would run a surplus this fiscal year if they win October's election.
The left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP), leading in many opinion polls, said the Conservatives have staked their brand on a balanced budget. Continued...

Apply – Skilled immigrants (Express Entry)
If you have been invited to apply for permanent residence, follow these steps:
1. Fill out the online form
When you sign in to your account, there will be a link to apply for permanent residence under Express Entry. You can save the information in this online form and go back to it as often as you need to until you are ready to submit it.
Your Express Entry invitation to apply will be valid for 90 days.
All of your answers must be complete and true.
You must fill out all the mandatory fields in the form. You will not be able to submit your application until these fields are completed.
When you have completed the application, the system will generate a personalized Document Checklist for you. It will show all the supporting documents you need to upload.
In the case of work experience and police certificates, it will show each employer and country you need to get documents from. For the police certificates, there will only be one upload field so be sure to include them all together.
2. Get all the documents you need
Using your Document Checklist, get all the documents you need to include with your application.
You must be able to make electronic copies of your supporting documents using a scanner or camera.
Once you have your documents ready, upload them.
Some things you will need to attach copies of are:
- your valid passport (we do not accept expired passports or other travel documents)
- your language test results
- your valid written job offer from an employer in Canada, if you have one
- your provincial nomination, if you have one
- in some cases, proof that you have enough money to support yourself (and your family members in Canada, if any are coming with you)
- any other documents on the Document Checklist, and
- your Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report, if you included the results in your Express Entry profile.
If your passport will expire within six months from the day you apply, you should renew it. Then, update your passport information in your application. This will make sure it is valid when we process your application.
Note: you need an ECA if:
- you are being invited to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (it will tell you this on your invitation letter) and you were educated outside Canada, or
- if you were awarded points for your foreign education (no matter which program you were invited to apply under).
We need copies of these documents to support the claims you made in your Express Entry profile.
You will also need
1. Medical exams
Do not complete any medical exam until you get an invitation to apply. You must have a medical exam before you can become a permanent resident. Your family members must also have one, even if they are not coming with you.
We will not approve your permanent resident application if your health:
- is a danger to Canada's public health or safety, or
- would cause too much demand on health or social services in Canada.
When the panel physician completes the medical exam, they will either give you an information printout sheet, or an IMM 1017B Upfront Medical Report form. You must provide a copy the document they gave you when you apply online.
Note:The results of your exam must be valid at the time you submit your application for permanent residence. For this reason, it is a good idea to complete the exam as close as possible to the date you submit your online application.
2. Police certificates
To immigrate to Canada, you and any family members 18 and older must include their police certificates as part of the application for permanent residence.
If you have a criminal record, you may not be allowed to enter or stay in Canada. People who pose a risk to Canada's security are also not allowed to come to Canada.
3. Pay your fees
You will have to pay:
a) The processing fee for you and your family members.
When you apply, you need to pay for everyone who will come to Canada with you on your application.
You must pay these fees online through your account using a credit card.
If your application is not complete, we will inform you and return your processing fee.
We will not return the processing fee once we have begun processing your application.
b) The Right of Permanent Residence fee
The right of permanent residence fee is $490.00 per person. There is no fee for dependent children.
You will need to pay this fee if we approve your application.
Note: paying this fee early can help speed up the processing of your application, so it's a good idea to submit it when you apply.
If you don't pay it when you submit your application, you must pay this fee before we issue any permanent resident documents to you.
We will refund this fee if you withdraw your application or if you do not use your visa.
c) Other fees

What characters are allowed in mathematica variable names? i.e. how
In other languages like C++, _ is a kosher character to be in variable names. It is not in mathematica, so things like "my_first_variable" don't work. I have been using a ` to separate out the words to get things like my`first`variable, but now realize it is creating other issues due to the scoping it introduces.
Are there are other characters I can use to separate out words in variable names?

No experience delivers the natural beauty and adrenaline rush of ziplining through a forest, except maybe getting fired from a cannon through a landscape painting. Feel the rush with this Groupon.
$46 for a Zipline Tour of the Canopy for One ($95 Value)
The Legacy Deluxe tour is made up of nine ziplines, including two that sail directly above Lake Lanier. The tour also features a pair of sky bridges and navigating platforms nestled in the forest's canopy.
Before the 2.5-hour excursion begins, a professional guide helps groups of up to eight people suit up and complete a thorough safety check. Upon returning to the ground, each guest receives a T-shirt. Participants must be at least 8 years old and weigh between 50 and 250 pounds.
Lake Lanier Canopy Tours
Anyone with a compass and a good pair of shoes can walk through a forest. Lake Lanier Canopy Tours' guides make it their mission to give lovers of the outdoors a unique view of nature from ziplines and sky bridges that snake through the treetops around Lake Lanier Islands Resort. All in all, 30 ziplines stretch above terra firma to form several distinct paths for exploring the canopy. The Lakeside tour follows four sky bridges and several ziplines that pass over Lake Lanier itself, and the Legacy Night tour takes riders equipped with headlamps and lanterns across seven ziplines. The company's most adventurous excursion, the Pine Isle tour, makes its way across a total of 11 ziplines, including the Duals, twin lines that send riders side by side for 1,500 feet at speeds upwards of 50 miles per hour.
Professional guides accompany every adventure to make sure participants are safe as they soar down the lines, traverse sky bridges, and negotiate with eagles for permission to use their trees. All of the tours are designed and built by Association for Challenge Course Technology professionals, and all gear, decks, cables, helmets, and harnesses are certified for safety.

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis: Signs, symptoms and therapeutic management
Schmid, Katrina L. & Swann, Peter G. (2001) Vernal keratoconjunctivitis: Signs, symptoms and therapeutic management. Optometry Today, 41(4), pp. 24-26.
Allergic eye conditions are particularly common anterior eye problems and their incidence seems to be increasing. Vernal keratoconjunctivitis is a potentially severe, chronic, allergic condition, that typically occurs in males, commending between eight and 12 years of age. The cornea may ultimately be involved and visual disturbances can follow. Here we briefly review the current understanding of why vernal keratoconjunctivitis occurs, and provide some management options when these patients present to your practice.

Presidential campaigns are full-time activities, and some folks are already speculating about prospects for 2016 -- including fans of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is the latest supporter to say that Clinton -- who lost to President Obama in the 2008 Democratic primaries -- should try it again in 2016.
"Why wouldn't she run?" the former speaker of the House told the San Francisco Chronicle. "She's a magnificent secretary of State."
Also: "She's our shot" in 2016, Pelosi said.
Some supporters of Vice President Biden are also talking about him for 2016. And Governors Andrew Cuomo (New York) and Martin O'Malley (Maryland) are also discussed as potential Democratic candidates in four years.
First things first, however.
Obama faces a tight re-election race against Republican Mitt Romney.
Democrats, meanwhile, are trying to win back a majority in the U.S. House -- perhaps giving Pelosi another term as speaker of the House.
The Chronicle, however, reports that "Pelosi is waving off questions about whether she would return as speaker if Democrats regain control of the House."
"All that matters to me is the Democrats win," she told the paper. "We'll see after. But that's so much less important than the Democrats winning."
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David

Your diet is very healthy!
It doesn't look like a lot of food, but you did get up at noon, so... Also, doesn't look like enough protein, but again, hard to judge because you got up so late.
How do you make your own yogurt? And what is queso fresco? (recipe).
I am a big fan of dark chocolate... I can only ever find 71% cacao though. I also just love vermicelli.

text: 1. You know what your partner needs to feel loved -- even if those needs are different than yours--Some people feel loved when their partner brings them a cup of coffee in the morning. Some need their spouse to tell them how beautiful or handsome they look. Others require sex and physical forms of affection. The point is each of us has different preferences when it comes to giving and receiving love. We have to teach our partner to love us and not expect them to read our minds. 2. You fight, but you do it productively--Conflict is a natural part of any relationship, but how you handle those disagreements can predict whether or not you'll be together in the long-run. How both of you behave now when you have a disagreement also says a lot about how you will or won't resolve problems in the future. A good relationship is one where the two of you fight fair. In other words, you don't curse, scream, talk down to each other or dismiss each other. 3. You get a confidence boost from your mutual physical attraction--Feeling sexual attraction and sexually attractive is huge. This helps boost your self-esteem. 4. You two are different enough to keep things interesting, but you're on the same page where it matters most--They say that opposites attract, and while that might be true at first, it's not a long-term predictor of relationship success. It's okay to have different interests or movie likes, but similarity in key life values (views on money, religion, how you raise children) is what keeps people together over the long-term. 5. Your family and friends give the relationship their stamp of approval—Your family's approval of your significant other does matter. High levels of social support from your nearest and dearest are crucial to a happy marriage. 6. You feel comfortable getting a little adventurous between the sheets--Couples in secure relationships can combine spontaneous acts of intimacy with tender expressions of their love. The best recipe for great ongoing sex doesn't seem to be finding more manuals to get bigger and bigger orgasms but tuning into each other and feeling safe enough to go with the thrill when it comes. 7. You are willing to put the "we" before the "me"--A commitment to doing what is best for the relationship is a strong predictor of future marital satisfaction. People who are marriage-minded should look for a partner who talks and thinks in terms of "we" not "me." Someone who talks about shared dreams, shared values, and a willingness to put the relationship above his or her desires. Couples who put their marriage above their own desires are more likely to flourish. 8. You find yourself missing your partner when he or she isn't around—It's important to miss your partner when he or she is away. If they are "out of sight, out of mind"' that's not good. But if you have an emotional response to him or her being away, it's a signal that you really want to be with him or her.

I just purchased a pair size 2, and would like to learn how to knit with them and need a tutoral of some sorts. Any suggestions?? I would love to make a wrist warmer but I'm open to other suggestions
try Knitting Pattern Central. They have LOTS of patterns.
Knitty Gritty just had Marnie McClean on making wrist warmers and making fingerless glove. you might want to check out www.diynetwork.com and search for Knitty Gritty.

Some may feel differently, but for me, I think size 2's would have been difficult to work with if it were my first time to try dpn's. :?? That may be just me, though.
By the way, before I could afford to purchase needles, I made my first few pair of dpn's out of dowel rods, following Amy's video instructions here (bottom of page).
Silver's Sock Class is an excellent tutorial for learning to knit on dpn's, even if you don't wish to make socks.
This is also a great tutorial for using double pointed needles. Her sock pattern is super simple to follow, even for a beginner.
Both sites offer good quality step-by-step photos.
