there will be no hoards of zombies and if there are already attacking your psy ops failed
My advice worry about things that actually have a real probability of happening
This isn't quite psyops, but I'm wondering if there's a way to use it defensively: Infrasonic sound just below the threshold of human hearing (which seems to be about 20 Hz) appears to induce feelings of fear and awe in some people. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infraso..._to_infrasound).
Imagine a hidden subwoofer emitting this freaky frequency in the middle of that grove of hanged bears Rover mentioned!
Now I'm thinking of hiding a subwoofer somewhere in the shrubbery near my front door to see if infrasound will scare away door-to-door salespeople...

Hah that's awesome. My 9/12 group was JUST talking about this last week.
We came to the exact same conclusion, some ideas were even more graphic and disturbing!
We group ordered signs and sticker to put on boxes, doors, gates, trees etc.
One thing you might do for your signs to make them believe, is double them in spanish, even other common languages. Govt does it enough that even people who can't read those languages will recognize it as coming from some authority.
Like an EPA/CDC sign stating contamination area or biohazard/spill cleanup ongoing with dates and times you could write in. Makes it look official.
That's what we're doing. Very convincing.

"Normal" looters would be easily discouraged, as we saw in New Orleans with the "Drunk rednecks with guns; you loot, we shoot" sign, but in a true societal breakdown, people may become extremely desperate and not easily dissuaded when their own kids are starving because of their lack of preparation.
Unfortunately, it may, in the worst cases, take extreme measures to convince people to keep moving. I know the heads-on-sticks idea was an attempt at humor, but similar tactics may be necessary. I doubt I'd risk breaking into the open to start chopping people up, but leaving headshot bodies where they fall may be a decent warning. Sort of a more graphic version of a sign I saw at the entrance to a ranch in AZ. The sign read "If you can read this, you're now in range".

i had bunkers with pipe sticking out and some times would put emtie shells near the gate
when i refer to zombies, there are a few government agencies that have three letters and are very likely to show up and kick in a Veteran/survivalist door, zombies seem to be a proper term. when i work on range cards i refer to dead space as zombie space...
In passing I've met gentlmen that,simply stated they would use their military training in explosives to keep people off ther property. they wouldn't elaborate on where they could get the materials ,but I suspect they had a plan.
I get nervous reloading, I can't even emagine playing with explosives, one wrong move and it's all for nothing.
As for booby traping , my memory is not as good as it use to was, I don't think it would pay off well in the long run ,How do you test it to know if will still work ??
I'm sure tha poeple that build this stuff professionally have sacrificial means of testing, but in the long run, there is too much that can go wrong, one way or another.
I would die if a little child were hurt from such a device I made or knew of it's existance and did nothing to prevent it .
However I was watching the book of ELI last nite and thought the trap door was a great idea.
But auto matic devices do not discriminate, and I have a problem with that .
As for visual , I remember as a kid we were visiting some csusins in a remote area and we went hiking around and they showed us a shallow grave with a guy's shoes toes sticking out of the ground and a grave post ,and even though it was a phoney I found out later, as a kid it still buggs you.
no trespassing
hang no trespassing signs with human silhoutte targets below that u have used for chest and head shot grouping...
Molotov cocktail. Simple to make, easy to use, and a 1969 FBI training tape exists on YouTube. I say this for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Don't try to build or use one.
Put up signes that say " No Gun Zone", that'll keep the rascals out, right?

Heard of this a few years back from an LEO. Would caution that to do this is a crime and this is for informational purposes so that one can be watchful as to what the nefarious neer-do-wells may try.
3/4 in pipe with a shotgun shell inside, inserted into a 1 in. pipe with a cap and a sharpened 1/4" bolt in the middle of the drilled cap for the primer trigger.
The whole mess buried but some protrusion covered by foliage, so that when a person steps on the slightly protruding pipe, the shell is triggered and boom, no more foot.
Sounds terribly dangerous so look out for these anti personnel booby traps when scouting unknown territory. Very common with M-Jay growers and one never knows where these dopers are growing. They often plant many of these as they are so cheap and effective. One injured takes out 3 fighters. Ingenious bastids.
The Psyop effect of this device will deter those who hear about it. So if you should encounter the commonly sold 3"x3" "MINES" signs, perhaps you should take heed.
Jus sayin...
Was thinking that you could stake those triangle shaped yellow radioactivity warning signs like the ones staked around Chernobyl but I thought, what if someone has a geiger counter? Chances are a lot of preppers (both the good and not so good preppers) have one so it'd be an easy bluff to call.
What wouldn't be so easy to test would be biohazard warning signs. Place them all around the perimeter and at the main entrance place something like a hastily discarded rubber hazmat suit stained with chicken blood.

In an elongated WROL period, PSYOPS is possibly an effective deterrent.
My Uncle was a part of the Operation Phoenix in Vietnam. It was essentially an intelligence gathering, counter-terrorist organization. Lot of stuff they did that wasn't particularly honorable (such as torture and assassination of VIP civilians in the North Vietnamese infrastructure. Horrible as it sounds, ironically, it was one of the few ideas that worked in Vietnam.
When I was a kid, my Uncle taught me an important lesson about violence - if you are not tough and deliberate when the chips are down, you will neither live nor win when your life is on the line.
Keep in mind that in WROL, there is no Geneva Convention, and your enemies will most likely have no sense of honor or decency. So any advantage, to include more extreme methods of PSYOPS might be necessary to protect your life. I won't go into details about methods PSYOPS because they are probably pretty grotesque to some folks on here, but I hope to God I would never have to do such things in my life.
Go to the local beauty school and get the practice heads. We use them as targets, and at Halloween we gore them up and use them as decoration. Freaks people out. I think goring a bunch of them up and placing them on spikes outside your home would be an effective way to deter people. With the appropriate signage, maybe a few small dead animals in the bushes to give the stench of death you could make a very powerful presentation. If things got ugly, throwing some real ones up, or impaling a dead body near the perimeter would send a strong message. I have seen a lot of harsh stuff overseas, seen plenty of gutted animals, the thought of seeing a bunch of heads on pikes or impaled bodies gives me the heeby geebies.
IF you do anything with any dead bodies of any kind, remember the risk of disease and cross contamination....
To a lone wanderer, that will scare them off and to innocent people who might otherwise be able to help you it will definitely scare them off. A violent show of force just might invite the very kinds of people you want to keep far away though.
In a SHTF senerio, assuming you are not dealing with mindless zombies, a sniper is a great at the moment psy ops tool. The enemy tends to be a little slower at attacking when their buddies head goes poof right next to them at 500+ yards. I would assume most hunters would have enough practice over the years to hit a target at 300+ yards without breaking a sweat.
After the first week of shtf, and a few get sniped, everyone is going to know not to be in open country, in daylight. At the least, if they are so exposed, they will know to keep moving, at varying speeds, and zigzagging a litte bit. Enough to make you miss, way too often. Then, you've wasted a rd of ammo, made a lot of noise, ticced -off some dangerous people, and they will be hunting you. Bad idea, all around. Better to just not be detected, I think!
Large groups wont last more than a month, because of infighting over meager spoils. merely stepping on the pipe won't set off a shotgun shell. have you seen how strong mainsprings have to be for shotguns, guys? You'd have to arranges something different, like a tripwire and rattrap striking a firing pin sort of deal, with the pipe set up horizontally, like a claymore. or have the pipe deal 10" or so down in a hole, and his entire foot-leg would have to drop in, with all of his weight on it.
the desperation and lack of information of shtf is going to mean that psyops are not going to work, guys. By the time the attackers are aware of the threat, they will be all over you. Having them die after they kill you doesn't help you any. :-)
Punji sticks would be a good option. Hidden pits of sharp sticks. The Vietnamese put fecal matter on them so that even if the victim survived, they would have some nasty infections to overcome. Making explosive devices is not that hard either; especially in a SHTF scenario, you can disguise a IED in a coke can or a used MRE package.
SHTF scenarios, PSYOPS can work. It all depends on how far you are willing to go to achieve security; however, you might lose who yourself in the process. I will say that it also depends on your area of operatoin.
You can't just do these atrocities (the PSYOPS I have in mind) and then just turn it off; elite soldiers, highly trained, still suffer from PTSD, other mental illnesses. Survival is paramount certainly, but how do you re-adapt if rule of law is restored?
The best way to avoid that situation is to make sure that it doesn't happen (as best as we can). As I said, I'd be a much different person in an extended WROL/SHTF; using lessons my Uncle Virgil taught me, I'd make a living nightmare for anyone who tried to disrupt/threaten my survival.

Cadillac Audio, Video and Security Systems Discussion, Mid-80's Bose systems? in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; I'm looking for some specs on the mid 80s Bose systems. I have a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado, My factory headunit ...

Mid-80's Bose systems?
I'm looking for some specs on the mid 80s Bose systems.
I have a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado, My factory headunit gave up the ghost a long time ago and I recently installed an aftermarket headunit. I believe my speakers each have their own amps, the rear ones appear to at a cursory glance although I haven't taken a closer look.
Most discussion I see here is on 90s model Caddys with Bose systems and I'm seeing a lot of secondhand info but not much real specs or technical info.
I've gotten my aftermarket headunit working with the Bose speakers (smooth sailing once I found out about the remote amp trigger wire), sound isn't great but they are 20 year old speakers. I haven't really noticed much distortion in the signal, more like the EQ across the spectrum is not balanced (some frequency ranges appear diminished, almost like a phasing issue.) and the right side channels, both front and rear, appear to be weaker than the left side channels.
However, I'm concerned about the Ohm levels and wonder if the Bose system from the mid 80s is similar to the systems from the 90s models and if I need any converters in my setup to prevent damage to my headunit.
I'm looking for specs, from what info I've come across so far, I gather at the very least, the headunit would send too hot a signal to the factory Bose amps on each speaker, which would mainly cause distortion and only cause damage at high volumes. But at worst, the ohm difference could fry my headunit.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some actual specs I could read and understand? I'm considering maybe wiring up some extra speakers in series to balance out the ohms and add sound reinforcement. In theory this would work but I'm guessing I'm missing something that's Bose specific, since I haven't seen anyone here suggest that as an alternative to outright replacing the entire system.
So, anyone that has any advice or can point me to some actual technical info, it would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Mid-80's Bose systems?
The 80's Bose system was still powered by 4 mini amps each outputting only 50 watts back then as opposed to the 100 watts the newer ones did. All Bose speakers, and by all i mean throught Boses history in car audio, operate at 1 ohm. You can use the new hu with the stock bose but your risking frying the bose amps or worse yet your new hu. By adding speakers all you do is DECREASE the ohms of each individual speaker therefore only creating more risk. You best option DUMP THE BOSE. Cut the wires right before the amp, use the two speaker wires, tape off the power and ground for the amps and connect the speaker wires to the new speakers. Trust me it will be a huge improvement especally over 80's Bose.
Re: Mid-80's Bose systems?
well, actually, increasing or decreasing ohms is determined by how you wire up the speakers, wiring in series will typically increase the ohm load, wiring in parallel would decrease the ohm load. there is still the matter of wattage to take into account but the info you provided gives me a good jumping off point.
one thing i'm unclear on here is that if the speaker is 1 ohm, that means the bose amp is rated for a one ohm load. typically that means it is capable of handling a slightly higher ohm load, probably 2-4 ohms but that depends on the amp itself. in any case, changing out the headunit would not change the ohm load, it just changes the level of the signal going to the amp.
is 1 ohm referring to the speaker or the amp? my understanding is the amp wouldn't be expected to provide an ohm load to the headunit, the distortion is just an artifact of sending an amplified signal into another amplified signal, similar to how guitar amps have multiple gain stages to add distortion. i could be wrong on this but, as a musician, i've never had to deal with ohm loads from amps connected to amps, only speakers connected to amps.
I know the door panel speakers are shallower than standard aftermarket speakers so i don't want to have to replace those unless i can find some the same size.

Re: Mid-80's Bose systems?
I agree. It won't hurt your headunit unless you run it for a little while, but it's not worth the risk. I hooked one Bose speaker up to my home theater and it did alright for about 10 minutes. Then my amp started making funny sizzling sounds, so I disconnected it. 1ohm is almost a direct short, so it's sorta like crossing the speaker wires. Not all of the speakers Bose used in cars are 1 ohm, the mid 90's Acura's used a 2 and sometimes 4 ohm speakers. All of the GM ones are the Bose only speakers usless you get a converter for your HU.
Re: Mid-80's Bose systems?
sry i neglected to remember bose in other vechicals i ment 1 ohm always for GM. As for the ohm load i suppose you could say the bose amps are "1 ohm stable" im useing that term VERY losely, however is it really worth the risk. I did the same test JC316 did with my home system. Sure it worked for awhile then the reciever shut off completely. I had to unplug it and plug it back in to even get the thing to power back up. In short why risk it? if youve changed the hu then obviously your not in it for the stock look so get some decent speaks and run them instead pioneer are very shallow built with flush tweeters so those would be rather god for your front speaks.
Re: Mid-80's Bose systems?
cool, thanks for all the info, i'll look for some pioneer speakers. i do plan on upgrading everything eventually. i didn't pay much for my current headunit because i wasn't sure if there was any electrical problems contributing to the stock headunit dying or not.
if it works for now, as it seems to be and i don't experience any problems, i'll hold off on replacing the speakers for a few weeks and save up for some really good ones.

ok good luck

This Tux" Package
Some eTuxedo formalwear history…we started in 1996 with a Bill Blass pure wool tuxedo which we sold for $169.99. Over these passing years the company which produces the Bill Blass tuxedo traded the Bill Blass license for Haspel. Same firm, same tuxedo, same price, different name. There are a few differences; the Haspel tuxedo includes a fabric upgrade. We were able to move from a plain weave fabric (just like the rental tuxedos) to a softer, tighter, nicer, pure wool gabardine fabric. The rest of our original writeup still rings true today:
Arguably the finest dollar for dollar value you will find
anywhere for a quality tuxedo. This Haspel 100% pure wool
tuxedo is designed for a single owner, not rental use. Why
does this matter? Rental tuxedos are designed to take the abuse
of prom season, wedding season, charity season, and all the
dry cleanings in between. They are constructed with the formalwear
version of heavy armor to look good for the next rental. This
armor makes the garment stiffer, heavier, and less comfortable.
If you don't need to dry-clean your tuxedo 52 times a year
you will feel much better in a "retail" (rather than rental)
tuxedo. This tuxedo will easily fill the needs of an average
user. Unless you want a more luxurious garment or are accustomed
to a higher-end suit, this tuxedo will probably take care of
your needs.
This is a classic 2-button, notch lapel, side-vent tuxedo with flat front slacks.
The coat is fully lined and has two breast pockets and one
lower "phone" pocket. The slacks are lined to the knee for
comfort. Pant has a 2 inch letout in the back for a tailor to make easy adjustments. This tuxedo comes with a set size pant. For the
price, this is a terrific, solid tuxedo. Need something
a tad more luxurious? Check out eTuxedo's

Backer Board Around Tub Deteriorated
I noticed a tile in my shower was loose, so I figured I would pull it off and reattach it. When I pulled it off I found water had gotten behind the tile and deteriorated the backer board behind it. So now there is nothing to attach the tile back too.
Do I have to replace the entire wall of backer board? Then re-tile? Or is there a way to replace just the lower portion for the tiles to attach too?
I'm sure there is no leak as the board is intact and fine above.
What exactly is behind the tile? You say "backer board", but it's a generic term. What is it made from? Concrete, sheetrock, James Hardie board?
Something caused the substrate material to fail. Make sure you identify the source of the water intrusion before sealing it back up. As far as how high to go, go high enough until you have solid material behind your tile.
how old is your home? are you sure it's now green board?

More from Ralph Graves
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
In this short video, Chris and Ralph will give you a quick tour of the popular Logitech® Squeezebox™ Duet, a wireless digital music player that lets you listen to music stored on your PC from any room in your home.
Video Transcript
Ralph: Hi, I'm Ralph.
Chris: And I'm Chris. And we're here in the Crutchfield studio to show you the Logitech Squeezebox Duet. This is a really neat system.
Ralph: It is. And it addresses a problem that I have, and I suspect a lot of other people have, too. I have a lot of music stored on my computer, but my computer is in the den. My sound system — my really good sound system — is in the living room.
Chris: And that's where you want to listen to music, with your family.
Ralph: Exactly.
Chris: So here's your problem solved. All you do is download the free software from Logitech. You hook this tiny receiver up to your —
Ralph: My good sound system.
Chris: Your good sound system in the living room. And use this controller to control your music from the couch or any other room in your house.
Ralph: Now, this connects to my computer via...?
Chris: Through a Wi-Fi connection, so it's all wireless. What it does, is it automatically reads — as soon as you hook everything up and download the software — it finds your songs that are on your computer.
Ralph: One of the things that I like about this is it not only accesses the music that's on my computer, but also anything else that my computer can access over the Internet.
Chris: Right. Internet radio stations or online music services like Pandora and Rhapsody. Really great.
Ralph: Right.
Chris: This controller is so cool. It's got a great big screen that's backlit, and a scroll-wheel that's really intuitive. You can select songs to add to your favorites. You can search for songs. It also displays album art.
Ralph: Right. Basically, the information that you would see on your computer if you were playing music.
Chris: Exactly. Exactly. But this way, it's in the palm of your hand.
Ralph: Oh, I like that.
Chris: You can really easily expand this system, too, if you want to get another little receiver. They come separately, and you can hook it up to a table radio or any other powered speaker in your house. And you can also get extra controllers. They work with the Squeezebox Classic as well, and also the Transporter — the high-end system.
Ralph: Nice.
Chris: So pretty soon, you have them all over your house.
Ralph: Wonderful. And there you have it — the Logitech Squeezebox Duet.

Downtown cafe opens for breakfast, lunch
At just 22 years old, Theresa Crouse is taking on the challenge of running her own restaurant.
Crouse's Cafe, at 660 Philadelphia St. in Indiana, opened Monday.
The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch, with its specialty being breakfast, Crouse said.
"We're really good at breakfast," she said. "That's what we want to get going."
Crouse recently graduated from Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina. Before attending the university, she had worked in various positions at other restaurants her parents own, including Crouse's Diner in Lower Burrell and Theresa's Royle Allegheny in Kittanning, which is a restaurant and lounge.
[PHOTO: Theresa Crouse and her father, John, worked in the kitchen of Crouse's Cafe, which opened last week. Photo by Jamie Empfield.]
The family, she said, has been in the restaurant industry since 1976. As business owners, they've owned Theresa's Royle Allegheny the longest, having started the restaurant and lounge about 10 years ago.
In school, Crouse studied economics and management — degrees that would help her get a head start in her career as a business owner.
For now, her father, John, is helping her get the business started. He's currently helping out at the restaurant as a cook while the business searches for cooks and servers. They're accepting applications for both positions.
The menu features classic breakfast items, such as a dish offering bacon, eggs and toast, as well as some originals such as the Cafe Mess — eggs, home fries and sausage fried together and then topped with sausage gravy, and The Royal Breakfast — two eggs, home fries, ham, bacon or sausage, toast and a pancake.
If combinations aren't your thing, Crouse's has a full menu including pancakes, waffles, breakfast wraps, a la carte items and more.
Breakfast and lunch can be ordered at any time. The lunch menu features classic diner-style items such as BLT and other deli sandwiches, soups, hamburgers, and hot sandwiches and melts. Crouse's also offers a variety of salads.
In addition, the restaurant offers new specials daily, and different kinds of homemade pies and soups.
The decision to start the place began when the family was looking to open a third location.
"We saw that it was for rent (the building on Philadelphia Street) and we were looking for another location," Crouse said.
"I know there's a lot of businesses (in Indiana), so hopefully we can get (their customers) to come in, get some locals, some college students."
The restaurant is a good fit for Crouse — she said it fits her lifestyle.
"I get to meet a lot of people," she said. "I like the business part of it too … you make your own hours, make your own decisions."
The restaurant is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. According to CrousesCafe.com, online ordering is something that will be offered in the future.

Tobold is discussing different ways to make grouping in WoW more attractive and prominent pre-endgame (or at least pre-60).
I really like this idea: Tobold's MMORPG Blog: The flexible solution
We already have a faction of time travelers, why not add a new faction of level travelers? Whenever a higher level player would join a lower-level dungeon group, he would gain reputation points for every kill and badges from every boss to make up for the lack of interest in the low-level loot that drops. The players in the group that are actually of the level of the dungeon don't get the points and badges, but the loot should be more interesting for them. The reputation and badges could then be used in the usual way to buy recipes and gear for the high-level characters which is actually useful at their high level.
Removing the group XP penalty and replacing it with a slight XP buff when grouping would be a good thing too. 99% of the time a group is not as efficient as a single person. When I sit down to play alone, I can begin playing immediately. When I play with my wife we have to meet up, then there are sometimes delays when one or the other of us gets sidetracked by gathering/a quest the other doesn't have/life in general. When I play with my static group there is by definition always one person who is the last to be ready to go and that delays the other four. In a raid…well I won't even touch on the exponential number of delays there, especially since most raids are at the level cap anyway. The leveling guides that I've seen all boast/recommend that solo is the way to go. Why not make it that playing with a good group levels you faster? It's a lot more fun to play with others but trying to level that way, especially with any drop quests, sucks.

Offshore Safety Made Simple

This article was originally published on SailNet in September, 2000.

If you love sailing, but fear the longer passages, read on. Extensive experience has taught this author what's important about the basics of personal safety.

I heard from a cruising friend of ours recently who called to say that she and her family had decided to give up their life afloat and return to life on land. When she told me that they were "back for good," I was really surprised. Her family had spent almost two years cruising in the Caribbean, and by all accounts they loved the free-footed, tropical lifestyle.
"It was great until we started doing the longer passages," my friend recounted. "I just couldnt cope being awaken at night by my husband stomping on the foredeck over my berth, and finding the boat out of control because he hadnt reefed for the line squalls. I became paranoid that he would be lost overboard since he refused to wear a safety harness, and that I would wake up with the boat hitting a reef and be unable to get the kids to safety."

It was an unhappy account, particularly since I knew she was a very competent sailor. But sadly this is not an unusual story. In my first article about our recent one-year sabbatical sailing around North and Central America, I mentioned a safety briefing we gave our crew before we headed out of the Straits of Juan de Fuca into the Pacific Ocean. We frequently have guests aboard our Beneteau 38 Bagheera. In the past we ran charter yachts in the Caribbean, and now we lead charter groups worldwide and do deliveries on a regular basis. Over the years we have found that, whatever the sailing background of those joining the boat, a briefing before departure with an explanation of our rules is invaluable for crew harmony, efficiency, and safety in all conditions. The briefing generally takes at least an hour, but differs in length and scope depending on our plans and the skills of the crew joining us. A local race or short coastal passage requires less equipment, preparation, and crew knowledge than an extended passage offshore, where a crew must rely entirely on its own resources.

It's important to have safety gear that works, and even more important that the crew knows how to use it, be it a flare, or a strobe, or any safety item.

At least a day before starting a passage we allocate time to familiarize any new crew with the gear we carry on board, outfit them with personal safety equipment, and instruct them in the location and use of each item. Emergency procedures for persons overboard, flooding, or fire are discussed in detail as well as safety rules that must be followed in routine fashion. For us, these procedures have stood the test of time and over 90,000 miles of cruising and racing, and because most are rooted in common sense, we find that once we establish the rules, there are seldom any disagreements between our guests and ourselves.
Harnesses and Tethers We use these items every day on Bagheera when offshore because our philosophy and commitment to each other is to stay on board. In particular we have agreed that safety harnesses should always be worn at night, when alone on deckincluding while in the cockpit and definitely when going forward. (On Bagheera, we only allow that when another crew member is on deck to watch and assist.) We also mandate that harnesses be worn at all times in rough weather by anyone coming up from below. This is usually when the wind is over 20 to 25 knots; although it is also contingent on the point of sail, ambient climate, and the water temperature.

Safety harnesses come in a variety of forms from basic straps to a combination of life jacket- harness and wet-weather gear-harness combinations. It is worth buying the best, and to determine what works, we always examine the webbing strength, the stitching, and lastly the fit/comfort as factors in choosing harnesses. Sailors should consider the different climates involved in their cruising plans when setting out to purchase safety gear. Because we often sail in the tropics, we favor the inflatable vests that have a with built-in harness. In our safety check we make sure these fit each crew member securely. The straps must always be snug and tested for clothing of different thicknesses. Their weight should also be considered, particularly in combination units since a heavy harness and tether can lead to neck and back pain.

It's important to regularly inspect the stitching and the hardware on safety harnesses. The ones being used above also serve as life vests, which deploy with the pull of a string.

A waterproof light (strobe lights are very useful if they're within your budget) and a whistle should be permanently attached to all safety harness. Customizing your harness with a crotch strap is also recommended since it is possible to slip out of a safety harness while being hauled back on board. We had a friend who was tragically lost off the South African coast while his wife was trying to haul him up their boat's high topsides. Since then we have heard of several other cases where this has occured, and there is particular mention of this problem in some of the accounts of the tragic 1998 Sydney-Hobart Race.
The tether must be strong and connected correctly to the harness, usually through two rings. Clips vary in quality and type and must be secure, yet still easy to undo. For this reason we prefer the double-gated Gibb snap hooks that are easy to operate and do not open when jammed or twisted on a pad eye attachment point, as can happen with a single snap hook. When going forward, many sailors use a tether that has two attachment hooks or use two tethers with a hook at either end so they can be hooked on at all times. And in the cockpit, it is useful to have at least two pad eyes located conveniently for attaching safety harness tethers, or a short jackline for comfortable maneuverability while on watch.

While you're pondering onboard safety equipment, it's important to remember that the load on these devices can be hugeoften many times the weight of the person. The Ocean Cruising Club suggests that the minimum breaking strength of tethers be 4,950 pounds, and that they should be able to withstand a constant load of 3,300 pounds. This organization also recommends that all the sewing in harnesses and tethers be lock-stitched.

Jacklines Most offshore vessels are rigged with lines or solid strands of webbing that run along the deck fore and aft and are attached by shackles to strong points at the bow and stern. And most designs for jacklines stipulate that the lines terminate well forward of the transom so that a person who goes overboard cannot be dragged behind the boat, increasing the potential for drowning. With the tether from the harness clipped into to a jackline, sailors can make safe, easy maneuvers on deck in most conditions.

"With the tether from their harness clipped into to a jackline, sailors can make safe, easy maneuvers on deck in most offshore conditions."

Two materials are commonly used for jacklines and each has its pros and cons. Traditionally, stainless steel wire is the norm. This provides a strong line that will not stretch or deteriorate in the sun, although when stepped on, it can skid underfoot, leading to accidents. In contrast, flat nylon webbing does not skid, but after a period of time it will deteriorate due to UV rays and become unreliable. Also, most webbing tends to stretch when it's wet and shrink when it's dry. The disadvantage of this stretching, particularly when under load after a person has gone over the side, was again dramatically documented in reports of the 1998 Sydney-Hobart Race.
We use stainless steel jacklines on board Bagheera because we feel more confident in their performance. We were, however, given some webbing jacklines last year and decided to put them to the test. The stretching soon became evident and because a friends webbing had just failed, we returned to stainless steel. When wearing shoes we are careful not to tread on the lines, but find skidding is not an issue with our usual bare feet. The best solution is probably stainless steel wire inserted inside tubular nylon webbingwhich is something we hope to try when we have the time.

Life jackets for youngsters are an onboard essential. This particular one could be improved with a crotch strap to keep the jacket on if it is ever used to lift the wearer out of the water after an unintended plunge.

Life Jackets There are many different types of life jackets. At purchase time it is important to check their suitability for offshore cruising and for the climate you anticipate. A life jacket that is comfortable in cool conditions may be unbearable in the tropics. Each person on board should be allocated a life jacket for his or her size and weight. On Bagheera, the rules for wearing life jackets follow the same procedures for safety harness usewhen on deck at night, when alone on deck, when going forward, or in rough weather.
When purchasing life vests remember that having one for each person is also necessary in the dinghy. Cheaper ones for this purpose are advisable since they are often subject to theft. A storage bag for the vests that are kept in the dinghy can be useful; we have one that is an integral part of a padded seat for our little dink.

Experienced sailors know that there's a vast amount of safety equipment available on the market. But cruisers who are planning to go offshore should provide themselves with the best quality gear that the size of the boat and the budget will allow. You'll find that the quality of life rafts, the performance of flares, the effectiveness of fire extinguishers, and the strength of safety harnesses all vary. Detailed research is usually the best way find the gear that will function best, but don't be disuaded by expensive safety gear. Like most cruisers, we too have a finite budget for our sailing adventures, but we've learned that safety equipment is the wrong area for cost-cutting.

Re: Re: Logscale Tick Function
Oops again because previously tics was not specified and now logtic is not
specified, so your examples still don't work.
In any case, the Presentations package does have a CustomTicks command that
allows log scales with any combination of labeled and unlabeled ticks and
complete control over the tick sizes, positionings and labeling format.
David Park
djmpark at comcast.net
From: M.Roellig [mailto:markus.roellig at googlemail.com]
oops! Typo on my side. The examples should read:
LogLogPlot[x, {x, 10^-3, 10^5}, Ticks -> logtic]
LogLogPlot[x, {x, 10^-3, 10^15}, Ticks -> logtic]
LogLogPlot[x, {x, 10^-3, 10^35}, Ticks -> logtic]
since i named the function logtic :)
On side remark: The function is not working well if the min and max values
less thansay a few dex apart, e.g. compare:
LogLogPlot[x, {x, 100, 700}, Ticks -> logtic]
(* with standard tic function *)
LogLogPlot[x, {x, 100, 700}, Ticks -> Automatic]
My function reasonably places the subticks, but fails in labeling so
you get a plot with
nice but meaningless ticks. The standard labeling algorithm is better
here, but still
fails in placing the sub(sub)ticks. I will try to improve it, but feel
free to send me your ideas.
On the strange uneven tick lengths:
>Looks uneven to me as well, but since the ticks are very small, this
>may be a pixel rounding problem. Your ticks seem to be a bit uneven as
That's true and this is like it is supposed to be, because I use the
exact same
tick lengths like the standard LogPlot, This seems to be a rendering
not a problem of the Graphics Primitives.
On May 25, 12:17 pm, "w... at wavebounce.com" <w... at wavebounce.com>
> Sir, this does not work on my WinXP M7.01 -- I get err message "Expected =
a list of tick specifications".
> Whether it works or not, I sure don't understand your use of Ticks->tic. =
I can't find that tic is defined anywhere, certainly in the main Module.=
Could you please give me some idea of how this works? Thanks, Rob

How can I ever trust Hugh's recipes again after reading that he puts Emmentaler in cheese fondue? Every self-respecting fondue eater knows that all Emmentaler achieves is a stringy fondue. It's because of this knowledge – how cheeses work together – that the Swiss have maintained a stable democracy for 150 years.

While I won't deny that the recipes are good, why do we have to read about celebrity chefs swanning off to the Alps to cook for overprivileged families in a resort that 90% of the population could never afford to get to. Insensitive, Daily Mail-inspired celebrity aspirational claptrap.

Simon Hattenstone says his partner is vegetarian, before noting that for dinner she chose "turbot and white truffle. Diane says she'll have it without the truffle". Unless she also had it without the turbot, I'm puzzled by his first assertion. Has he known her long?
Daniel White Ely, Cambridgeshire
Your food and travel special was the most enjoyable edition I've read in a long while: it was exactly the kind of escapist travel-writing that you yearn for at the end of a bleak British January. Which made your London-centric insistence on only providing flight information from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, etc a real pain.

Were many others out there inspired enough by Tales Of The Unexpected (Space, 30 January) to fit a utilitarian tub in their relaxation space? No, me neither. Ach, so conventional.

I'm intrigued by the thought of Simon Callow sharing his bed with "two splendid boxers". Are they amateur or professional?
Carrie Smart London WC2
Your article on sleeping positions overlooked the Junior Spacemaker, well known to parents: child, toddler size upwards, enters bed by one means or another in the middle of the night; half an hour of kicking and punching sees adults in extreme Cliffhanger position, not daring to move in case they wake the very happily sleeping infant.
Mu Tucker Leeds
After seeing last week's letter professing "outrage" at the mobility scooter in the 16 January Your Pictures, my mother and I rushed to the website to see what the fuss was about. We still don't get it. Two members of our family are registered disabled, and if there's one thing a mobility scooter grants the owner, it's freedom.

Hurray for Victoria Moore's article listing supermarket wines to avoid, and why. Can this be a regular feature? And can you persuade your financial gurus to tell us the products they wouldn't touch with bargepoles?

2007 Gold & Silver Shovel Awards
Area Development's annual Gold and Silver Shovel awards honor states that have generated top job-creation and investment projects across the nation. These states are highly active in business development, from conducting foreign trade missions to crafting innovative incentive packages and work-force development programs - all of which attract new companies, stimulate investment, create jobs, and strengthen tax bases.

Gold & Silver Shovel Award Winners

Silver Shovel Award Winners:
Over 10 Million Population
Silver Shovel Award Winners:
3 to 10 Million Population
Silver Shovel Award Winners:
Under 3 Million Population
We are pleased to recognize the successes of these states with our 2nd Annual Gold and Silver Shovel awards. Area Development contacted all 50 states and requested verifiable information about the top-10 job-creation and investment projects initiated in 200. Only those projects that actually got under way, i.e., broke ground or expanded and initiated new hiring were considered.
Each state was then rated based on five weighted factors: projects' direct job-creation numbers; the number of new jobs per capita; amount of companies' investment; number of new facilities (either new to the state or new locations within the state); and the number of projects creating high value-added jobs. Georgia received the highest weighted overall score to take home the 2007 Gold Shovel award.
The remaining states were then ranked in three population categories: less than 3 million, 3 to 10 million, and greater than 10 million population. The three states with the highest scores in each category received runner-up Silver Shovel awards. In the "under 3 million" category, the award recipients were Kansas, Nebraska, and Utah (Kansas also won last year). The top finishers in the "3 to 10 million" category were Alabama (last year's Gold Shovel recipient), Kentucky and Wisconsin (tied), and Missouri. Michigan and Texas repeated as winners in the "greater than 10 million" category, with the third Silver Shovel award in this population category going to Pennsylvania.

Game publisher Nippon Ichi Software began streaming a teaser trailer for the Makai Senki Disgaea 4 Return (Disgaea 4 Return) PlayStation Vita game on Wednesday. Character designer Takehito Harada is returning in the franchise's latest installment.
The original Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten video game revolves around Valvatorez (Valvatorze in the Japanese version), a vampire demon who used to be extremely powerful and feared.

Along with his werewolf servant Fenrich, he aims to overthrow Hades' government. Later on, he meets Fuka, a Prinny who was only given a Prinny hat due to shortages of Prinny hide, Emizel, the Netherworld President's spoiled son, and Vulcanus, a mysterious angel who has an eye for money.

Jay Leno 'Tonight Show' goodbye gets more viewers than first farewell
By Eric Kelsey
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Jay Leno's send-off as the host of NBC's late-night talk show the "Tonight Show" drew 14.6 million viewers, Nielsen Media Research said on Friday, topping the audience that bid adieu to the host when he left the show for the first time in 2009.
Leno's emotional farewell on Thursday was the comedian's fourth-largest "Tonight Show" audience since he took the reins from Johnny Carson in 1992.
The finale attracted the same number of viewers who tuned in to watch Leno interview U.S. President Barack Obama in 2009, in what was the first ever appearance of a sitting president on a late-night talk show.
Carson, who led the show for 30 years, attracted 42 million viewers for his final show in 1992, in an era when broadcast television commanded far greater audiences than today.
Viewership of the "Tonight Show," which has been the top-rated late night show under Leno's guidance since 1995, was also helped on Thursday by NBC's lead-in coverage of the first day of Winter Olympics.
Leno, 63, was given a star-studded good-bye with comedian-actor Billy Crystal as the featured guest and surprise appearances by Oprah Winfrey, Jack Black, Carol Burnett and Kim Kardashian, among others.
Audiences during Leno's final week rose to nearly 5 million per episode compared to the season average of 3.9 million.
Guests on the show in the past week included actors Sandra Bullock, Matthew McConaughey, comedian Jimmy Fallon, former NBA basketball player Charles Barkley and musical performances from country singers Blake Shelton and Lyle Lovett. Continued...
