About damn time.
The sad part of this is loosing the blood tree as dps, but honestly getting a clear view of the what the trees are about is WAY more important.
Love ya Blizz!

This SUCKS. I love blood dps and the general playstyle. Especially the dual death rune rotation it has versus the crappy blood strike single cycle frost/unholy have. Playing frost especially as dps is like sucking on broken glass.
Why not stick with frost for tanking and make it not suck in terms of always waiting for any damn runes with no RP or being RP capped with all runes available because the rotation is spiky and way too random and terrible?
BTW, SCREW dual weilding, why did that ever get shoved into any tree? DKs are big old sword/whatever swingers the end. The DW/hit gearing mechanics in this game suck in general.
Its so obvious that blood should have remained the physical oriented tree, unholy stays the magic damage focus tree and frost gets a giant overhaul to make it actually fun to tank in. What a cluster**** this will be.
PS, the on-hit removal changes will suck for war/druid and take a year to patch, thats a promise.

That's cool i guess..

At first i was concerned about what this would do to my tanking build for heroics, but then i looked at the tree and the only tanking talent that is really mandatory for Frost DK in deep tree is frigid deathplate, so if that's high up in blood i won't particularly be concerned.
Hooray, finally Blizzard does what I've been quietly complaining to myself and my friends about for months.
Well i think its pointless to say that DK is if you all remember a first Hero class, but blizz down ranks him to ground. It was then you have a chance of choice wich tank tree you would or could be, but this change making us to be only 1 build for tanking its nosense. I think blizz just cant stand and see that DK still are unique in something and in further future they will give us shields and 1H weapons
Looks like we'll have just another warrior clone. Class designer, kill yourself.

in before waves of QQ;
I'm an experienced Death Knight both Tank and DPS, played a DK as main consecutively since basically the Alpha, and here's my honest opinion; I'm fine with this.
I've been a blood tank for a while now, and I think it's the one that works for the best imo, with the selfhealing and easy executable rotations, I was blood dps for over half a year and it was ok, it was fun but in a way pretty boring and singular, so I'm pretty happy with this, was expecting something like this to happen imo ever since the announced passive bonuses for each tree, since I figured that'd get rough with three tanking trees..
It was a nice niche at first, and let us always remember frost and unholy tanking in our hearts
Tank/Dual Wield DPS/2h+Pet DPS
at least DK's are a bit dumbed down for the newbies now, less DK nubs in pugs! yay!
Skysin/Xavius EU
frankly i like this change ive seen so many debates on which is bettter tank for dks and im glad it can be put to rest ohwell guess im gonna have to get use to another tree for my dk but ohwell ;D
I'm... wary of this. I have spent a good while now waffling between blood and frost tanking (and 2H vs. DW tanking within Frost) before finally settling in on the damage-reduction approach of Frost 2H and the AOE threat potential.
I guess when they say "cool tanking abilities" from Frost they are talking about more than UA and Frigid Dreadplate. Blood needs something that can replace the lost AOE threat burst of Howling Blast.
I'll be pretty upset if they don't change up the trees so I can pick up Howling Blast to tank with. And I'll be a little upset if they don't make it so I can still dual-wield tank (not that I do now, because of my available weapons, but I wanted to be able to once I got some better 1handers).
If both are off the table I'll be very upset.

·My Youtube channel·
they will change presence (frost is tank, blood is dps)??
they move: Icy talons, unbreakable armor, frigid dreadpalte and howling blast to blood???
I think its a good change. This will make balancing so much easier.
I understand all of this actually. I understand the need for a solid tanking tree, and I understand that the tri-spec thing was just an experiment really, and I'm glad they understand that people will be disappointed because of the ability to tank or DPS in any spec.
I admit that I am disappointed, for the first time in this game, actually. Which is hilarious because people rage delete/quit all the time over minor changes, and something this big just made me a bit sad. But anyways, I've LOVED Blood DPS. I did Blood DPS and was proud of the DPS I pulled in the raids I went to. I don't mind frost, although I never DPSed as it yet, and unholy just didn't suit me, but Blood...oh god, I loved Blood. And yes, I know that I still will be able to tank as Blood in Cataclysm, which I will, and it'll probably play similarly too. Which is great.
But I'm a DPSer at heart to be honest. I do have classes for the other roles, but I love to DPS if I can. The whole thing is needed and I'm overall okay with the change, sure.
What pisses me off is their comment. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. Maybe I am the minority, but it was absolutely unnecessary and THAT is what pissed me off in the entire post.
"We understand it will be met with some disappointment from... or those few of you who really liked Blood DPS."
Maybe I'm overreacting, but...those FEW of you? Was that really needed? Like, at all? I know that blood wasn't that popular of a DPS tree, but I liked it and I kept up easily. So why must they rub the shit in my face by saying "YES IT WILL DISAPPOINT PEOPLE WHO LIKE VERSATILITY AND THE TRI SPECS, OH AND DID WE MENTION THAT THOSE SMALL AMOUNT OF YOU THAT LIKE TO BLOOD DPS TOO, YEAH YOU WILL BE DISSAPOINTED."?
No crap. Like, seriously, that's so blatantly obvious that people who Blood DPS would be disappointed that it doesn't even need to be stated. It was literally, to me, just a "HAHA SUCKS TO BE YOU B**CH", which is just oh so amazingly professional of them to say.
I don't know, maybe it's because I actually am raging, in a different way, over the first change I disliked, but the comment just...really got me steamed. So obvious, SO unnecessary, and really just a laugh at the expense of those who did Blood DPS.
*Sighs* Guess I better learn how to DPS as frost. No way I'm going Unholy.
I liked THE tri tank. Unholy reallly worked well for AoE tanking. You saw a lot of unholy tanks for sarth3d in 3.0 because of their CD's. It's kind of funny you never saw a lot of frost tanks. But the class was a great tank overall.
Before u read, this is a Q.Q!
I've never wined about a nerf or tweak or anything from Blizz since the game exists.
I love playing blood how it is at the momeny, I hate unholy and frost! I love the idea of keeping myself alive with offensive abilities! I was completely happy :O Now my class/spec is gone =\ I can't go unholy/frost cause I hate em, so I have to go and play my 80 druid.. Wich means all my hard achievements etc are gone! even my what a long strange trip its been =( Make achie account wide(with the name of the first character to earn it underneath it, and otherwise the char ur on, if that one has it) or please let blood be able to dps >.< I love dpsing as blood! Thats my WoW! Sad
Ty for reading my QQ
Personally, I think this will be a good change for DK's. Mostly for the new player coming in and wanting to play a DK and tank, yet not understanding how they currently work. My DK was the last toon I leveled out of 8 total level 80s. I never had any desire to level one until I got bored and basically leveled him here and there when all my dailies were done and I didn't have anything else to do on my 3-4 "mains". I found that leveling a DK is super fun since you never die and can just pull everything. You add their super OPness at the lower levels with the BoA items (weapon, chest, shoulders) and it's just a darn killing machine. Anyway, I noticed people getting DK's and thinking they could take with them just because they had 1.5k more health than others around their level bracket and the reality was, they couldn't tank and most of the people playing DK's, pretty much grinded to 55 just so they could play the DK class. I know this isn't the case all the time, but it is atleast 50% of the time.
I'm not good at playing my DK and I have some decent gear now. I don't fully understand the runes and I always feel like I'm idle and w/o runic power. It's probably because I haven't taken the time to ask questions or research the class. I love tanking on both my warrior and my paladin (sometimes my druid, but rarely.. I'd rather HoT the 5man and afk while on follow ) and it's really easymode with those guys and they have so many utilities to aide in the damage they take and threat. I built up a tanking set for my DK and I just can't seem to get enough threat generated because it's like fishing in a sea of DPS talents in order to find what works for tanking. I understand that was sort of the point and I think it's a fun idea. They're unique and it has worked. I know several very good DK tanks but they tend to be mana sponges or at least that's what it feels like when I'm healing one. Having their own dedicated tanking spec will give them utilities like paladins and warriors. Maybe not the same exact things but tanking specific defenses and cooldowns. I play Blood and I'll miss playing that when I'm bored and nothing else to do. I've tried out Unholy lately and it's not terribly bad... I've always had a fascination with the thought of spreading disease and plague across the land to render my foe helpless (which is why I play a Warlock as my main). I've heard Frost is alot of fun so I'll just wait for the changes they have in mind for those 2 dps specs. I'm sure it'll be awesome, lets just wait for official news to break before we freak.
I know it's hard to, trust me. I'll probably freak out when something happens to my Warlock that I don't want to, but I trust Blizzard and even if I don't agree with them all the time, I know they're doing it for the good of the game and it could all be changed in the future. Lets welcome their ideas with open arms and see where they take it thru Beta. Lets utilize positive attitudes and talk to the Dev team like they're human so they listen to them. Disrespecting them in the forums and screaming curse words does nothing and they don't respond well to those types of attitudes. Lets use the suggestion forums for what they're there for.
Sorry, I'm pretty hyper tonight and I'm sure they is WAAAY too long for anyone to find any interest in reading. I'm pretty talkative in real life too... and in vent, I never shut up. <3
Ok, I'm over it! I'll be unholy

Per practice and with unobstructed view Henderson kept going for third. The throw from Bobby Indeglia got there about the same time and Crusader hitting star Anthony Critelli got the tag down. For good measure Critelli went back into foul ground for a reaching grab of Jacob Robson's lined fly to finish out the victory.
Holy Cross (1-2) bounced back from the 8-4 loss in Saturday's opener. Rea had owned the first game with a pair of two-run homers, and in the rematch he again set the offensive pace. His single in the first inning scored State's initial run, and a three-run blast in the fourth had the home team ahead 6-5. But the 3-of-4 day with another four RBI and two runs went for naught in the win column.
"That's hard to deal with," said Rea.
This loss was as harder or harder for Coach John Cohen to accept. Though, giving away the lead late and not coming through in the last chance weren't foremost on his mind. "The ball game was lost in the first inning," he said after Holy Cross scored three times in their first turn. To be sure Mississippi State came right back with two runs, tied things up in the second, and had the lead into the eighth.
Yet Cohen was correct, because such a stumbling start was unnecessary. "Walk, walk with a freshman," the coach said. "Hit by a pitch, an error, a blown double-play, and we don't keep the ball infield. We were playing catch-up from the very beginning."
Freshman RHP Austin Sexton was pinned for the three runs, on just one hit and that safety ought have been knocked down at the worst to limit damage. It was by Critelli, of course, and went for two RBI. This was after all the preceding stuff Cohen counted off, with the error on the first at-bat and that by new 3B Reid Humphreys. It was Sexton's walks though that led to true trouble as designated hitter Jack St. Clair's grounder to second-side was not rolled into a double-play that would have ended the inning.
Instead one Crusader scored and Critelli had his first chance to shine. He would come up three more times and collect hits in all of them.
HC starter Collin Manning was actually hit harder in his first, or two-thirds of one. LF Jake Vickerson led off with a walk and was balked a base. He took third on a fly-out, then scored when Rea lined a single to centerfield. With two outs and a full count Henderson went the other way with a grounder that got through the right side for a single and RBI, as Rea came home.
A walk of Humphreys stuffed the sacks and brought in righthander Ben White. He was facing first-time college batter C Cody Walker and coaxed a 3-1 fly out to strand the trio. But White put the tying Bulldog on base with a leadoff walk of SS Matthew Britton in the second. A second balk bit too, even though first baseman Bill Schlich did rob Vickerson of a double with his diving-to-bag stop and tag. It was still just one out with Britton scoring from third on a grounder by CF C.T. Bradford, batting second this game. White had to strand a pair after singles by Rea and 2B Brett Pirtle just to hold it even 3-3.
Sexton was lifted after a leadoff walk of the #9 batter in the second with RHP Preston Brown getting three outs. The third inning was another matter.. A grounder off freshman Humphrey's glove was good for a leadoff double, and with one out Indeglia singled to the right side. It might have scored Cipolla anyway, but Henderson made it easier by letting the roller go through him for a two-base error. Critelli got his third RBI of the game with a bounced double down the well-beaten third-base line for a 5-3 lead.
Brown hung a couple of zeroes on the top line, aided by a fifth-inning double play. He also was put in winning position by Rea. A leadoff walk of Britton and Vickerson single had two on, and Bradford bunted both into scoring positions. The Crusaders may have considered putting Rea on anyway but let White pitch. His 2-1 offering was driven on a line deep into the Left Field Lounge for the 6-5 lead. But, critically, the rest of the order didn't follow up as White stranded a pair of Dogs in the fifth after an error and plunking.
LHP Evan Mitchell took over in the top of the sixth with Critelli on again. Second-sacker Pirtle made a great reaction to an odd short-hop to start the double-play, and Mitchell left two on bases in the seventh. But Crusader reliever Justin Finan sat six of seven Dogs and stranded Henderson on third base in the seventh to stay within a run.
The Crusaders put that tying runner on in their eighth with a one-out single by, of course, Critelli. Mitchell got a rare balk call to put him in scoring position, and with 2-2 count RHP John Marc Shelly came into toss two more balls. Soon as Holy Cross put a pinch-batter up, lefthander Connor Perry, the call went to ace closer Jonathan Holder. He got a called strikeout, but Lovullo evened the score with a single to center scoring pinch-runner Escobar. Andrew Barry put his team ahead 7-6 with a base hit to right.
Now pitching, Escobar had one out when Vickerson's drive to center was off Cipolla's glove and Vickerson got into second safely ahead of the throw. That was as far as things went because this time Rea was intentionally passed with two outs and Pirtle grounded to second. Holder retired the side in the ninth.
Escobar got his first save with Finan (1-0) the win on 3.0 scoreless innings with two hits and two strikeouts. Shelly took the loss on just those two pitches, charged with the winning runner. Holder lost a second save of the young season, and Cohen said the veteran is dealing with an unspecified finger problem. At the same time there was nobody else Rea wanted on the hill.
"You never look down on Jonathan Holder," he said. Brown had the longest stint, 4.0 innings with two runs on five hits and two strikeouts. Cohen said though the righthander had less than 50% first pitch strikes, which was something of a troubling trend against the right-side loaded Crusader order with the breeze going out to left.
"We just pitched away from contact in this ball which is now who we are as a pitching staff," said Cohen. Both teams had ten base hits and all six of State's runs were earned. Three of Holy Cross' scores weren't due to the two official errors and other missed plays that don't show on a stat sheet. Some of this was to be expected in a squad still testing individuals and combinations of defenders only 9 days into a schedule.
At the same time the necessary early-seasons shuffles can cause issues, and is. "We're just not in synch with what is going on, nobody is really in synch," Cohen said. "We're not in rhythm at the plate, we're not in rhythm defensively. And we're playing ball clubs that can beat us and that's exactly what happened."
Now 4-3 for the first time since 2010, the Bulldogs are aware how dangerous it is giving away these games so early. Co-captain Rea downplayed concerns regarding end-of-schedule tournament hosting and such. "But we definitely want to bounce back and that's something great teams do. I don't know if we're a great team yet so we're waiting to see how guys are going to bounce back and it's going to be real important."
The series concludes with a noon Sunday game. RHP Dakota Hudson (0-0) will make the second Sunday start of his freshman season, while Holy Cross will again throw a righthander at State.

Moonlight on the Marsh lectures tackle hot environmental issues
Florida has been making headlines this year with one environmental news story after another: red tide, invasive species, pollution that threatens tourism. The Everglades Wetland Research Park at Florida Gulf Coast University will tackle these timely issues and others of regional and global concern in its second "Moonlight on the Marsh" lecture series beginning Thursday, Dec. 12.
Distinguished scientists from the United States and abroad will share their expertise in the public lectures at the research park, which is at FGCU's Harvey Kapnick Education and Research Center at the Naples Botanical Garden, 4940 Bayshore Drive, Naples.
"Moonlight on the Marsh" was launched last year by renowned wetlands researcher William J. Mitsch, Ph.D., who was appointed director of the research park and Juliet C. Sproul, chair for Southwest Florida Habitat Restoration and Management.
"The inaugural year was quite successful, with an all-star cast of scientists and engineers suggesting how we can protect and clean up the environment," Mr. Mitsch said. "The 2013-14 series is even better and will focus on some of the gigantic ecological and environmental issues we have in Southwest Florida. Experts will talk about red tide, beach pollution and invasive pythons in the Everglades. We also have two presentations on wetlands and how they can provide important ecosystem functions."
Ulo Mander, professor of landscape ecology and geography department head at the University of Tartu in Estonia, will launch the lecture series on Dec. 12 with a presentation on water quality improvement with wetlands.
Other talks in the series are:
¦ Thursday, Jan. 16, 2014
"Algal blooms and red tides: What's manageable and what's not," by Hans W. Paerl, Ph.D., professor of marine and environmental sciences at the University of North Carolina Institute of Marine Sciences, Morehead City, N.C.
¦ Thursday, Jan. 30
"Who is polluting the beaches? Understanding contamination sources, health risks and protection of beach water," by Jiyoung Lee, Ph.D., associate professor of environmental health science, College of Public Health, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.
¦ Thursday, Feb. 13
"Reclaiming, using and protecting wetlands: The Dutch approach," by Jos Verhoeven, Ph.D., professor of ecology and biodiversity, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
¦ Thursday, Feb. 27
"The problem of invasive pythons in the United States," by Michael E. Dorcas, Ph.D., associate professor of biology, Davidson College, Davidson, N.C.
All lectures are at 7 p.m. in the Kapnick Center auditorium. Seating is limited and can be reserved for a $5 donation. Call 325- 1365 for reservations or more information.
The Everglades Wetland Research Park is dedicated to research on the wise management of freshwater and coastal ecosystems of Southwest Florida and to protection and enhancement of wetlands and water resources worldwide. Details are on the park's website, www.fgcu.edu/ swamp. ¦

In desert valleys, grassland prairies, and alpine meadows, wildflowers are the color-saturated harbingers of spring—nature's guarantee that the days are getting longer and, eventually, warmer. And like a modern-day rite of spring, we celebrate wildflower festivals in small towns and national parks across the US. Here are 10 recommendations for seeing wildflowers in all their glory, in all their different habitats. Just remember to look and not touch—picking flowers from national parks is illegal, after all. —Deb Hopewell

Oh, that Steve Jobs. He sure likes to throw around his "magic" to make things look like more they are.
At Apple's special event yesterday, the Turtlenecked One tossed out some strong accusations about Android and how Google might be distorting the platform's sales figures.
"We think some of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers," Jobsy said. "We think we are ahead of everyone."
Mr. Apple went on to proclaim that his company is activating 230,000 new iOS devices every day. As is frequently the case, however, you can't take Jobs' words at face value.
Apple vs. Android Activations
Jobs' hope, of course, was to quiet some of the attention surrounding Android's astronomical growth. During a Q&A session with reporters last month, Google CEO Eric Schmidt revealed that 200,000 new Android devices were being activated every day.
Google now confirms that that figure, in contrast to what Jobs implied, does not include upgrades. A spokesperson tells me it also factors in only devices that utilize Google services, meaning the total number of handsets in circulation is actually even higher.
Whoops -- sorry, Steve-O. You might have looked into that a bit more carefully before sounding the Apple alarm.
[Get Android Power delivered. Follow @AndroidPower on Twitter or subscribe via RSS today.]
Decoding the Apple and Android Numbers
Even if you forgive his incorrect upgrade assumption, Jobs' assertion that Apple's "ahead of everyone" is pretty misleading. Jobs' 230,000-activations-a-day number covers all iOS devices, meaning it includes iPhones, iPads, and iPods. (But not iCarambas.) The Android sales figures focus solely on phones.
Talking about sales of smartphones powered by a particular platform and talking about combined sales of phones, MP3 players, and tablets are two very different things. Most independent mobile market analyses focus on the former; comparing apples to apples, so to speak, is the only way to have a consistent and meaningful comparison.
That distinction aside, it's been almost an entire month since Google mentioned the 200,000-Android-activations-a-day figure. Based on recent growth trends, it'd be surprising if that number weren't now higher.
Consider this: In February, Google said it was activating 60,000 Androids a day. In late May, the number was up to 100,000. One month later, in June, it had grown to 160,000. And then in August, it reached that aforementioned 200,000 milestone.
Since then, three out of four of Samsung's Galaxy S phones have hit the U.S. market. We saw the introduction of Motorola's Droid 2, the successor to the hottest-selling Android phone to date. And other popular Android devices continue to sell out as quickly as they're made. All put together, one would imagine the number of daily Android phone activations has well surpassed Apple's (nonphone-specific) 230,000 mark.
[UPDATE: Android steals more market share from Apple in August]
Of course, regardless of which platform is in first, second, or third place, what really counts as a consumer is which device you like. And obviously, numbers alone don't dictate financial success; Apple could be in fifth place and it'd still be turning a handsome profit. (A fiercely loyal fan base goes a long way.)
That said, sales and market positioning are significant in terms of analysis and assessing a platform's ability to attract users. I know Steve Jobs is all about big, bold proclamations and not-technically-untrue-but-definitely-misleading statements -- but come on, Steve: Leave the "magical" logic to the marketing department. If we're going to talk about statistics, let's stick to reality.

Insulating an unheated crawlspace
Hi guys,
I have seen all sorts of contradictory advice on the internet about the best way to insulate an unheated crawlspace. Let me give you the details of my situation.
I'm in Calgary, Canada so cold winters. The crawlspace is under an addition to the house. Originally this addition, but not he crawlspace, was heated with a second furnace and the duct was run through a hole cut in the dividing concrete wall between the original basement and the crawlspace. We've since consolidated the furnaces back to one although the duct still runs through this cutout and through the crawlspace, and the wall has since been finished on the basement side. That may be unnecessary information but I've provided it nonetheless.
The crawlspace is unheated and unventilated with access through an exterior opening approximately 2'x4'. This opening is covered with what is essentially a 'plug' constructed of wood and weatherstripping that fits snuggly into the opening.
I understand that I need to start with 6mil poly on the floor (which is dirt) and running up the walls, but what I'm confused about is whether to insulate the joists above the crawlspace or the walls, and what material should I be using?
Thanks in advance,
IMO the easiest is sprayed foam...acts both as insulator and thermal break. You have addressed the vapour rising from the floor but you'd still have to address the vapour getting out which means having a vb on the underside of the floor. Complicated. Look into Tiger foam tanks...
Ok, so assuming I don't want to use sprayed foam, what are my other options.
Then, 6" fibreglass - or mineral wool - batts on the underside of the floor you walk on, 2" rigid polystyrene boards on the crawlspace walls and poly on the floor.
Thanks for that. Can you explain the logic behind insulating the walls and the ceiling? I've seen articles that say insulate the walls only and others that say insulate the ceiling only, depending on whether it's vented or not, but I haven't seen anything recommending insulating both.
Are there water pipes or drains in the crawl space?
Do you know how cold it gets down there?
No water pipes but there is some duct. The addition contains a bonus room and a bedroom. I'm not sure how cold it gets, I've only been down there in the summer, but the floors of the rooms above it feel colder than the rest of the house.
It has 6 mil poly laid on the ground and held in place with stone weights.
I insulayed the inside of the concete blocks with R12 ROXUL insulation. ( We are lucky here in Canada that this insulation is available. It doesn't seem to be avail. in the US)
The insulation is held in place with insulation mounting pins. These pins have a perforated base and a gob of construction adhesive is placed on the surface and is pressed onto the concrete as required.
Once the adhesive has set up, the Roxul bats are pressed onto the pins. Then 6 mil poly laid over the top and pressed onto the pins as well.
Spring keepers are then pushed onto the pins to hold the plastic and insulation in place.
These pins are very sharp, so I bent the ends back in towards the wall to avoid accidental contact.
Roxul is is the ideal insulation as it is non-absorbant,and is very reasonably priced.
In Canada the crawl space should be conditioned. In the summer A/C will reduce the humidity and of course in the winter keep the floors warm.

I am new to the forum and to shooting hand guns. I tried several guns over the weekend that included the Glock, HK and Sig. I really like the way the Glock 17 felt and handled and am considering it as my first purchase.
I live out here in Orange (Southern California) and would like to know if any one could recomend a shop with good prices. Whats a fair price for a Glock 17? I looked online and the prices are really good compared to the shops I have been to but then I found out the transfer fees are about $150. Could anyone recomend an line shop and an FLL for the transfer?

Hidden compartment in car
I want to build a motorized compartment in my car. Can anyone help me
more details needed.
Yes, we can. Help us help you.
Hidden from who? The cops? :clap:
What do you plan to put in it? Does it have to be relatively air tight? Etc. How do you plan to get to it? From inside the car or out?
All Wheel Drive 4 Seater Ferrari
I just paid $295,000 for the new Ferrari FF, 4 passenger, all wheel drive vehicle. The dealer is refusing delivery because I want to be able to pull a work trailer or aluminum fishing boat. He will not tell me where I can get a trailer hitch powder coated in a matching color. He says adding one would deteriorate from the Ferrari image? I figure it is my car. Should I ask for my money back? I have already ordered magnetic signs for the side of it.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe was my second choice but they want to sell me the picnic set for the trunk. I won't be able to fit paint cans in with it in the way.
Does it have the LP grill?

Here is the picnic compartment for the Rolls. No grill. But I still have a copy of "Manifold Destiny" which has great recipes for cooking directly on your engine.
Don't know about the compartment that you are looking for but a friend of mine had a late 60's or early 70's Plymouth Valiant (can't remember the exact year) that had ventilation doors under the front dash on the drivers side and front passengers side. Each side held a six pack of beer. They used to get ice cold when we were driving around on winter nights. Love those old Mopars.
Come here to east Slovakia and you can get a lot of tips from Ukrainian cigarette smugglers!

... but I couldn't find Lz Holtzman's opening statement on video. Have you seen that yet?
C-SPAN has the entire hearing:
I found her statement at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dohgkV53tBQ.
... but I couldn't find Lz Holtzman's opening statement on video. Have you seen that yet?
An abbreviated version of Lz Holtzman's opening statement appears in 'Historic Hearing on Impeaching Bush-1/2', a production of Democracy Now, the following YouTube link:
I have not checked the DemocracyNow.com website, however, the host of the above YouTube 2-part series mentioned that more complete coverage was on their website
Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz tackles the extensive and abusive use of signing statements by the Bush Administration Link CLICK HERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQScXo7lawQ
Does anyone know what Bruce Fein said regarding the fallacy that there wasn't enough time left to impeach Bush? Didn't Ms. Holtzman say we could do a Twofer?
If they would just quit fucking around. Time is not the problem... that's just an exscuse they get away with because people don't know any better. Shame on the people!
They got a law passed in a day Guys from fruition to being signed by BUSH! The Terri Shiavo Law. THE CONGRESS TIPPED THEIR HAND WITH THAT ONE! Passing a law is much much harder than an impeachment hearing. Time is irrelavent with these guys. They take as long as THEY want. And when you have six months to investigate a crime that's already been investigated.... been confessed to on national television ... and when voting for them takes what.... an afternoon when a photo opp is involved. Its pretty pathetic in my oppinion to then turn around and say there just isn't enough time to save the constitution! We should start putting all our flags at half mast until they actually do their jobs and quit fucking us over!
So we don't have enough "time" to get them impeached huh? How long is the statute of limitations for TREASON? Our own leaders have betrayed our country and our constitutional rights!
they attach a country who waS NOT A THREAT MTO US,,,they are responsible for the DEATHS of over 4000 of our young people,, they are responsible for thr deaths of 100's of thousands of IRAQ people. they have destroyed our country and our good name.. they must take the blame for what they have done,, M.B.
I think the inclusion of Vincent Bugliosi may have compromised the panel's credibility among many viewers. That Bugliosi is more publicly appreciated for his crime novels than his expertise on the powers of the presidency and Bush's alleged transgressions may effectively obscure his political activism to a majority of Americans. Such a situation may render his testimony as unauthoritative to many unsavvy viewers.
Man......that entire hearing was wonderful!! Loved every minute!!! So....looks like we're going somewhere now!! Shame on Pelosi for trying to "silence" what would've come out without her "orders".
My only question?....How come nobody asks about Bush's Skull & Bones affiliation at Yale? He took an oath to uphold their "agenda", whatever that is....I hear it's all about death, death, death!!! Seems to me like he took that "oath" more serious than the oath of upholding the U.S. Constitution, which is "just a piece of paper", according to some reports that actually quoted him.
Hmmmm....I wonder? Next question......
How come the so-called "secret societies" in America are allowed to be "secret" when their organization's symbolism is all about "middle east", "far east", "egyptian", "arabism", "sheikism", "ancientism", "muslimism"?
I mean, I heard of a secret society called "The Order of the Sudan Temple". When I lived in N. Carolina, I saw quite a few license plates of members advertising their affiliation. Can somebody tell me, what would a bunch of uneducated hicks from New Bern, North Carolina want to join an organization called "The Order of the Sudan Temple" for? The license plate had arabic symbolism on it, i.e. two Arabic swords crossed over each other...like it was "Aladin" & the "Arabian Knights" iconic. What the .....is that? But the ones with those license plates are as "country" & "backward" as anyone you'd ever want to meet? I WONDER?????? Can somebody explain this to me?
Why would a bunch of old men in N. Carolina give a shit about "the sudan"? They don't even know where it is....or do they?
I don't recall for sure if there's a direct connection between Skull & Bones and the Masons, but it seems like I recall that. And since a good number of past Presidents have been tied to the Masons, this bit of "trivia" may still have value. Same principles apply.
The penalty for betraying a fellow Mason is DEATH. Betraying the Presidential Oath of Office ... well ... I don't know who we could count on to uphold the Presidential Oath if doing so could get them killed by their fellow Masons.
Kind of a serious conflict of interest there for any President who's a Mason

......Ballots in at least nine counties Tuesday include non-binding questions asking voters whether they would support the legalization of concealed weapons. Advocates hope passage would send a message to lawmakers that there's support for so-called concealed carry.
......But Illinois is the last state where concealed weapons are illegal and Gov. Pat Quinn has promised to veto any measure to legalize concealed weapons.
My Comments: I'll be looking to see how this did in the post election turmoil........ I'm glad to see that even people in Illonois are getting fed up and making noise on this issue! Go!

2002 Saab 9-3 SE Audio question
Hello all
I think this might be my first time posting (or second) so please be nice
I want to replace my standard premium audio setup with a new receiver.
I was specifically interested in these two
I really like the first one.
My question, can I do it? I'm sure you guys have answered this question before and I did try to search the forum but was not able to figure this out so I apologize right now.
Does the car come with an amplifier? If so, do I need to bypass this if I put in this new car stereo?
Do I need a special fit or will a DD fit in my car?
Will someone be kind enough to help?
Thanks in advance.
A double-din radio has been installed in some 9-3 with success , but it requires some degree of DIY work. There's a writeup Here. There is a factory amp that drives the front door speaker. It uses an 8-pin plug for the stock head unit but an adapter can be made. a wiring harness for the rest can be found here. just choose "9-3 99-02" and "Wires Only" in the drop-down menus. Good Luck.
Hello, after an exhaustive search through this forum i am in need of an answer. I recently bought a 2002 9-3 SE (my first Saab) and i'm trying to determine what the deal is with the front door speakers and factory Amp. I want to buy a new head unit from Crutchfield but in order to get the right unit and know what i'm getting myself into i need to know whether my car is a 4 speaker set-up or 6 with an Amp.
I've listened and i can hear no bass or sound come from the front door speakers, yet from what i've read from my search here on the forums is that "all US 9-3 SE models have the 6 speaker set-up." So i'm confused.
What does the 2002 SE come with?
-If there is no Amp or front speakers then i'm going with just the head unit.
-If there is an Amp and no speakers, but the wiring is there, i'll get door speakers.
-If there is an Amp and speakers, then apparently something needs fixing in order to get sound out of those door speakers.
Thank you.
Audio Upgrade
What i found out is that the 2002 9-3 SE does not have the cookie cutter configuration that people allude to. The Audio set-up depends on whether or not you have a premium package or not. The tell tale sign is whether or not you have fully leather seats and digital climate control. In line with those packages come door speakers that are either installed (with the premium sound package), or pre-wired (if no premium sound package).
I have a 2002 SE with leather trimmed seats (fabric down the middle), and knobs for climate control. These version does not come with pre-wired door speakers. From all the research i did it also looks like installing those speakers is pain mainly due to running new wires.
I ended up installing a sub in the back, replacing the front (windshield) speakers with mid range and tweeter component speakers and leaving the rear componenets. Installing the new head unit and power to the sub was such a pain in the **** i gave up on the pain of replacing the 6X9's.
I recommend getting the head unit adapter from geniunesaab.com and a wiring kit from cutchfield.
If you have fully leather seats your door speakers should be already wired.
Saab Wiring is a PITA
Yes, I agree with you, understanding the wiring of this car is a pain in the butt. I do have the premium package with the digital climate control and leather seats. So, it's wired and has speakers in the door. I already tore out the Saab factory amp so, I am already on my way... As far as I got figured out is... all I need is to find the damn wire that heads to each door. I think I', going to run the DS tweeter wire under the steering wheel, then up to the tweeter spot and tap into this line and patch it into the door speaker (right before it heads through the door). Again, the trick is goingt o be tracking down this wire. OPh yeah, adding crossovers in the PS kick panel. ...not sure if I ever should have started this.
You clearly know more about car audio than i do. This was my first time dabbling with it. I'm surprised you can't find the wires to the door speakers seeing as you removed the amp. I thought that the amp powered the door speakers so they should be right there. If i had the premium package i would have left the amp in place, used the wire kit which included an adapter for the amp. I would then have replaced the speakers in the door re-using the wire, and then run the amp and sub from the trunk like i did. The main theme being reusing whatever wire i could.
Running wire to the back isn't very easy either as the panels at the base of the door can't have screws on them for convenience, instead they have plastic snaps that often break and getting them back into place was a pain. Running the power through the fire wall took as much time as the rest of my install.
And good luck with the head unit. The fit kit from Genuine Saab is on back order. I used the fit kit that was sent from crutchfield which isn't made for the 9-3. I had to cut the fit kit and it looks OK, but clearly not professional.
I still love the car though. Thing is built solid, no rattling even with the sub cranked, which came as a big surprise.

"I'm a movie director. My job perhaps indirectly influenced my daughter's choice to work in hospitality, because of all the trips I took with my wife and our three children. Clemence has always been very attentive to the beauty of the hotels we stayed in and the way they were operated.
During her last year of High School, she was able to persuade us of the relevance of her choice of undergraduate studies as she had already discussed this with:
- friends already attending Vatel,
- friends who were already Vateliens, and
- family members who were already in this line of work.
After having talked with her, my wife and I browsed through the Vatel in France Internet site and looked through the Vatelien Success Stories where alumni present their background and functions.
We understood that at Vatel, Clemence above all, would learn how to manage teams and thus have a global employment passport, allowing her to work in many different fields.
She was still hovering between Vatel and other schools, but the Marco Polo exchange program totally convinced her. Even before applying to Vatel Paris, she was already looking at the different places Vatel Schools were operating throughout the world to choose one of them.
She finally decided on the Vatel Buenos Aires Campus in order to improve her Spanish. She went to that school for her 2nd year in March 2016 and then came back to Vatel Paris to finish her Bachelor Vatel."

A Fool's Garden
Every spring I pull into my driveway thinking to myself, "Oh no, it's time to plant flowers again." I hate planting flowers. I suppose that's why last year I put my wife in charge of it.
"Why," I ask my brother (and personal landscaper), "do we purchase flowers every year that will only die in a few months?" But then my neighbors' daffodils began to bloom and sway in the breeze. My own hastas recently poked through the loosened earth. Then I began thinking about my investments in terms of these flowers.
I pondered annuals and perennials, plants and fertilizer, and lots of work vs. perennial bulbs that seem to take care of themselves. My investments, like perennial bulbs, seem to manage themselves over time. Every year they seem to mature and display a fuller beauty. Why on earth would I want to invest in a company only to have to fertilize it, water it daily, make sure it has the right amount of sun, and based on the conditions even uproot it only to plant it again during better conditions. Heck, I don't uproot my own flowers to replant them regularly. That would kill them. Oh, I guess that's my point.
But those perennials. Oh, those perennials. I plant them once. I wait. They bloom and blossom while I take a walk with my wife, while I play with my daughter, while I dream about my next child on the way. Meanwhile our family celebrates Halloween, the holidays, and the coming of spring. And our beautiful perennials have not only blossomed, they have spread, reproduced, and doubled in beauty.

Next Boston Lisp Meeting: Monday October 27th 2008, 6pm at MIT 32-124
NB: ITA Software, a fine employer of Lisp hackers (disclosure: I work there), is kindly purchasing a buffet to accompany our Monthly Boston Lisp Meeting. Anyone who attends is welcome to partake. We appreciate it if you let us know you're coming, and what food taboos you have, so that we can order the right amount of food. Tell us by sending email to boston-lisp-meeting-register at common-lisp.net. We won't send any acknowledgment unless requested; importantly, we'll keep your identity and address confidential and won't communicate any such information to anyone, not even to our sponsors.
Tim McNerney will give a talk about Verifying the Correctness of Compiler Transformations on Basic Blocks using Abstract Interpretation.
Tim McNerney, currently software engineer at ITA Software, will discuss some work he did years ago at Thinking Machines Corporations on a native code parallel Fortran compiler for the Connection Machine. The compiler used abstract interpretation to verify correctness of some program transformations relating to register allocation. This actually helped systematically detect and eliminate a class of subtle bugs that was previously crippling the compiler.
The Lisp Meeting will take place on Monday October 27th at MIT, Room 32-124.
As the numbers indicate, this is in Building 32, on the 1st floor. That's the Stata Center, the funny looking building at the corner of Main St and Vassar St. Note that this location is different from the usual location in adjacent building 34.

Clemson Basketball: Tigers Topple Wake ForestFebruary 28, 2011
With their 63-49 win over Wake Forest this past Saturday, Clemson's men's basketball team took another step toward gaining a berth in the NCAA tournament.
The Tigers could not afford a loss to the lowly Demon Deacons, who had only one ACC win to their name. However, Clemson knew it would be a tough matchup, as they had won only three of the past twenty meetings with Wake Forest.
Down 9-8 early in the first half, Clemson took the lead for good on a 14-2 run. Clemson hit four straight shots and held Wake Forest to one of eleven shooting, forcing three turnovers during the run.
The Tigers then went cold for the rest of the half, shooting just one of seven from three-point range and going scoreless in the final four minutes of the half. Luckily, the Demon Deacons were cold as well, shooting just seven of 29 for 24.1 percent in the first half, allowing the Tigers to lead 33-20 heading into the break.
The Demon Deacons came out of the locker room with a sense of urgency to begin the second half, and trimmed the Tigers' double-digit lead to just nine at 39-30 with 16 minutes remaining.
Jerai Grant answered back for Clemson with a tough put back while getting fouled, and made the free throw to extend the lead back to twelve. Two minutes later, Tanner Smith hit the first of three consecutive three-pointers from himself, Demontez Stitt and Milton Jennings. Those three baskets put Clemson up 53-38 and the Tigers were able to maintain the lead the rest of the way.
Clemson played solid defense all game long, holding Wake Forest's leading scorer Travis McKie to just five points and twelve rebounds. "He really didn't get anything," Coach Brad Brownell said.
"Our guys were locked in. I thought Devin had him early, and then it was Tanner's turn on him. We kept running fresh guys at him, and the pressure seemed to bother him a little bit."
Stitt said that holding McKie in check was another indication that the players believe what Brownell preaches about defense.
"Coach Brownell does a great job and he preaches it every day," Stitt said. "He doesn't like to let teams score. When you have players that buy into the system and frustrate guys trying to score, your defensive intensity and your defensive pressure goes up."
Grant and Stitt led the Tigers with 14 points a piece, and Grant also pulled down seven rebounds. Booker played well also, registering a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Smith helped out with nine points and seven assists, and Jennings added eight points off of the bench.
"This was just a blue collar win," Coach Brownell said after the game. "We were aggressive defensively, maybe not at the start of the game but shortly thereafter. We missed some layups there in the first half, but we really approached the game the right way and we forced Wake out of the things they like to do offensively."
Clemson will continue their run towards the NCAA tournament this Saturday when they host Virginia Tech for Senior Day at Littlejohn Coliseum. The tip-off is set for 12 p.m. and the game will be televised on ESPN2.
Come out and support the Tigers' senior basketball players, as they compete in the last regular season home game of their career.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States, taking more lives yearly than the combined efforts of floods, lightning, tornadoes and hurricanes.
With thousands of workers experiencing heat-related illnesses – sunburn, heat cramps, heat exhaustion & sunstroke – conditions that can quickly become deadly, knowing how to avoid them is crucial for any individual – from farmers to construction workers – working outside in the heat.
The following 3 tips provide the essential information needed for staying healthy & safe even while working for any length of time outside in the heat.
- Hydrate. Drinking lots of water is crucial for preventing serious illness and even death when working outside in the heat. Individuals should drink lots of water even if they don't feel thirsty with non-alcoholic and decaffeinated liquids also being beneficial. Avoid caffeinated drinks, which have the potential to dehydrate.
- Protect. Protection while outside in the heat involves wearing the following items regularly: safetyglasses with UV protection, sunscreen, brimmed hats and loose & light clothing. Protection also means taking regular breaks and using cooling fans whenever possible.
- Educate. Know what triggers heat illness. Culprits include high temperatures, direct sun or heat, limited air flow, physical exertion, poor physical condition, some medications & bulky clothing.
Also, be aware of the signs and symptoms of heat-related illness, which include dry, hot skin, no sweating, mental confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures and convulsions. Knowing these simple facts helps workers not only act when necessary to prevent a condition from worsening but also keeping it from happening in the first place.
For individuals who need to work in the heat, beating the heat requires a partnership. When workers and employers both understand the potential for heat-related illness and even death, prevention becomes a key focus when temperatures rise.
Employers can provide water, breaks, safety gear & education while workers can avail themselves of the resources and take responsibility for their own safety. At the same time, each person can watch for the signs of heat-related problems in others and add a layer of helpful accountability.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- On Thursday, the Lady Vol golf team took a break from finals and studying to team up with the First Tee of Greater Knoxville.
The First Tee is a non-profit organization designed to help youth build character through the game of golf.
A total of 20 youth were on hand for a fun-filled afternoon at the Wee Course as the Lady Vols walked them through the basic components of golf.
"We're thrilled to do community service but if we can help out in golf specifically, we're happy to do that," head coach Judi Pavon said. "The First Tee program is for kids who maybe couldn't afford to play golf in other ways because it's such an expensive sport."
"They have these clinics for these kids ages 5-18 so today we were excited to be able to come out and work with them, talk about being a college golfer and then help them with their golf games," Pavon said.
First Tee's program director Reggie Newton got his start as a First Tee golfer and is grateful for UT's golf programs helping out.
"It's tremendous," Newton said. "I don't think the kids even realize how big it is because as a former college golfer, I know how busy those teams are and they're both highly ranked teams. It takes a lot of time and dedication for them to come out for one day and give us their time. It means a lot. It just shows that they care about the kids too and about the next generation of golfers."
"More important, it gives them somebody to look up to. They look up to me because I'm a coach, but when you see someone who's doing exactly what you want to do, their eyes light up and they listen. It's invaluable."
Tennessee heads to its 21st straight NCAA Regional May 9-11 in Auburn, Ala. UT has earned six top-10 tournament finishes, including two top-three finishes this season.

1995 325i. need some buyers advice.
i know theres a craigslist add for this, but im selling my 525i
in hopes to get something 3 series, specifically e36! so i came by this:
and i was wondering what you guys would think of it.
im going to see it in person tomorrow. and from past experiences
anything to do with timing, or vanos (which i know limited amount about)
is a bad idea. tell me what you think. :dunno:
Lower chain tensioner is really easy on that motor, and if you want to do the vanos stage two rebuild (replaces sprockets upperr tensioner and vanos seals) there are a bunch of good DIY writeups online. Right after I bought my m3 the timing chains started to make alot of noise also. I did the lower chain tensioner and a vanos seal replacement, and it sounds like a new motor. If you are handy with a wrench, i would try to pick that up for about 1k. Good luck.
Can he drive it......?
success. ive been slacking on going to see it, ill probably do it sunday. i looked up parts for the vanos, and i didnt see anything in the cheap range. he also told me id be better towing it home haha.
if the timing chain is loose can you drive it is what i meant.
Drive it home, is it safe. know what i mean now?
Looks like it is good for the price !
The seals, anti rattle kit, special socket, and vice covers are about 80 from beisan systems
The rest of the timing tools (yes neccessary) can be found in a package deal on ebay.
All in all, could be done for about 300.00

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Sooner or Later (a boat)???
Lattitudes and Attitudes bulletin board.
More of a cruiser orientated group with a broad spectrum of members, including the venerable Dr J Drake.
A fun site with the odd pearl of wisdom.
Sooner or Later (a boat)???
OK I''ll bite... What was the other list where most of the responses were "hold out for the bigger boat"?
Sooner or Later (a boat)???
When you are sailing for a long time it sometimes seems as easy to handle a big boat as a small but when you are new to the sport, the greater manueverability and smaller momentum of a small boat is really is easier for the novice. More significantly the smaller boat, especially if fin-keeled, spade ruddered and tiller steered, gives a lot more input so that the novice will develop better boat handling skills more quickly. In my opinion 27 feet is about the upper limit to provide a good learning platform.
Sooner or Later (a boat)???
Lots of good advice and ideas so far. Sailing a "small" boat first seems to be a consensus. But I would not consider a 27, even a 25, a "small" boat. Smaller yes, but not small. I can guarantee you would not find it any more difficult to sail my 37-footer. Excepting, of course, the inboard compared to an outboard. So I do not feel that should be part of the formula.
As for lake sailing versus your ultimate sailing grounds. How long before you realize you really want to be out there with the big guys? I think that you can underestimate the work and stress of changing boats that quickly, especially when one has poor sails. And I hope you are not feeling obligated because it is a friend''s boat. This decision is too big for that. Best of luck.
Sooner or Later (a boat)???
RobGallagher wrote: "If by some chance you don''t fix or upgrade anything and sell the boat for what you paid for it, write a book. We will buy it!"
That is VERY funny! LOL
Sooner or Later (a boat)???
The Catalina 27 you are considering has an outboard so you might also consider a 25 with a pop top and enclosed head (less $$). The 27 and the 25 are both fun boats to sail and good for a weekend. I like the 25 better, small boat feel (on the helm) and with the pop top it seems almost as big down below as my C&C30.
I don''t know where you sail, but, the outboard could give you problems motoring in less than ideal conditions.
Research BUC, Yachtworld, Sailnet etc and go look at some other boats to get a good idea of a price. Beware, you are doing business with a friend and a "fair deal" is when neither the buyer or seller is happy with the price. 8000 seems like the upper range for a 27 w/ an outboard.
Expect to spend money on the boat, that is why we call them holes in the water.
Don''t expect to get back what you paid for it or put into it in a couple of years.
If by some chance you don''t fix or upgrade anything and sell the boat for what you paid for it, write a book. We will buy it!
Get your own survey done.
Thats my .02 cents worth. Best of luck to you,
Sooner or Later (a boat)???
Due to the long drive to the lake - I would not want to buy anything that I could not comfortably spend a couple of nights aboard with the wife (probably a dog too).
Don''t have the truck etc. to do a trailer boat - but would be getting a great deal on the slip so that would not be too much of a problem.
I guess I like the C27 enough to keep it until I can get the cruiser - just would like to get the cruiser when able for lifestyle reasons - but it wouldn''t kill me if it took a few extra months to sell the C27. The lake sailing idea is a stop-gap as I live inland and its the easiest option for getting on the water until I buy the coastal boat. So learning the sailing grounds is not a factor at all.
Sooner or Later (a boat)???
You state that the boat had a recent survey and you trust the surveyor. He should have assigned a value to the boat. At least my surveyor assigned a fair market value.
I might go farther and suggest that you get a catalina 22 or equivalent. You can probably get one in reasonable condition for $5000 or less. With a trailer it would be even easier to sale and take to other lakes etc. We towed a 22'' Helsen behind a light truck and this is simular to a C22. The best thing about a trailerable boat is being able to move it around. We moved ours to 4 lakes over several years and usually took it on a vacation once a year. The larger the boat the more you are stuck in a particular lake. We now have a 32'' boat in the ocean. I do miss the simplicity of parking a trailerable at home to do work. Plus to move the boat a couple hundred miles takes a week instead of a day.
Sooner or Later (a boat)???
I think that one point that you may be understating is for most, if not all people, learning on a small boat will make them way better sailors and accellerate the learning curve, and one thing that you are over stating is the importance of learning the sailing ground that you will ultimately sail on. I have sailed the Chesapeake for 20 years and I am still learning the sailing ground that I sail on. That is a big part of the fun of sailing.
Sooner or Later (a boat)???
Well this is interesting,
I posted this exact question on another website as well - there is a definate difference in the types of reponses.
While this board is mostly of the "get the small boat to learn on for a year - you''ll be better off if you buy carefully (don''t pay too much)" philosophy, the replies on the other board mostly say "hold out for the big boat and save the money to learn then".
This must be a reflection of the people on each board - but I''m still trying to make sense of the difference.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for the responses.
So after more research and much thought - here''s where I am in my thinking - comments welcome....
It seems to come down to trying to put a monetary value on a years worth of experience - a form of balancing act - whats it worth???
Heres my initial Pros and Cons list:
I will probably triple my sailing time on the water. (compared to sailing OPB''s)
I will get to learn a lot more about sailing, anchoring, navigation etc. while on a cheaper easier to sail vessel (some say you get to be a much better sailor with respect to boat handling by learning on a smaller vessel).
The logistics of sailing on weekends etc. will be much easier with a place to sleep overnight (80 mile drive each way to the lake).
I will probably loose $2k to $3k on the whole deal if nothing big breaks.
This would translate into a 3 to 5 month delay in purchasing the big boat.
I would be learning on a lake, while the big boat would be on the coast - I won''t be gaining any local knowledge of my ultimate sailing grounds.
I may get stuck for even longer while trying to sell the smaller boat. This may not be a huge deal as I can be flexible, unless I am trying to grab a rare find. Also, the longer I sail the smaller boat, the more money I will accumulate, all be it at a slower rate.
These are the main issues - excluding some important intangibles - sunsets on the water - lifting of the spirit as I get to anchor out at an island for the night after a day of sailing etc.
At the moment I am completely undecided, but I do know that I cannot pay the current asking price for the boat as I will loose come the resale time.
I believe I will wait a while to see if my buddy can get the money he wants for the boat. If he decides it would be better to sell - I may make an offer which would hopefully allow me to resell for close to the same price in a year ($6500).
That way hopefully all I will lose is the slip fee and a years worth of running costs (about $2000).
While it is almost impossible to put a price on experience and other intangibles - I feel that losing any more money in the deal would not be worth it.
Any other comments are most welcome and thank you to everyone for their input.

After a bit of soul searching you've decided that you're able enter the world of no strings sex; that you can feel good without feeling bad! Where do you go from here? Next step is to lay a few ground rules. After all, casual sex isn't dating. You're intention is not a relationship.
1) Enter a no strings encounter with intent; the intent is to feel good and have a good time…NOT to find a spouse. Remember why you are there and don't change the deal.
2) Keep it a one-time engagement. No digits, no email addresses. Anything past 2 hits you're entering friends with benefits territory and well, that never works out!
3) If you feel a connection and want to keep the option open for your no strings encounter growing wings, drop a hint that you want to meet again to see where it goes; if they take the ball, run with it. If they let the ball drop, you have your answer. Don't get bitter and don't cause drama. Try to remind yourself the intent of the encounter was mutual gratification not wedding bells. Thank your "date" for a great time and move along. Serendipity was a movie, not a flight plan!
4) What if you've got it all under control and escape the heat of the moment with your plan to move on intact, but wait, they're into you. Now what? If you've already got one foot out the door and you don't see a future with your recent conquest, don't feel guilt and never feed the drama. Think of it as a catch and release program and they will just have to swim on. Thank them for the compliment but make it clear that you're just not willing to take it to the next level. The "it's not you, it's me" routine. This is when you'll be glad you followed #2!
Can a genuine no strings encounters happen? Definitely! Just be aware that even with the best of intentions feelings can form under such intimate circumstances. Be kind and treat others how you would like to be treated; however, all while making your feelings {or lack thereof} clear. For me the only pure no strings encounters are single act plays! There is no act 2; strictly a one night stand. Anything more, is something more! The next level is a forward to a different play entirely.

Fire scorches apartment in Ballard; leaves residents without a home
April 6 -- At approximately 9:30 a.m., over 12 units and at least 40 Seattle Fire Department personnel responded to a fire at the Telemark Apartment complex (2850 N.W. 56th St.) in Ballard.
By the time SFD arrived the inferno was blasting out from a second story window. According to Battalion Chief, Paul Atwater, firefighters had trouble finding the unit that was burning when they first entered the building. He said that the heat and smoke were "intense." Once they found the unit, they were able to knock the fire back before the flames spread to other apartment units.
As a precaution, firefighters removed all material that caught fire to prevent smoldering and restarting the flame. Charred boots, books, clothing and a master's thesis smoldered in the pile.

In a fire such as this, SFD personnel remain at the scene for another 10 hours after the flame is extinguished to ensure it does not restart.
The Telemark has 24 units, and no tenants were injured during the fire. The two residents of the apartment that caught fire are staying with family while repairs are made.
Chief Atwater said the cause of the fire was electrical.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
At first glance the gustatory enticements on this stretch of Biscayne Boulevard seem flatter than the landscape. The eye gets caught on the bright ubiquitous colors and familiar logos of McDonald's, KFC, Subway, and Taco Bell and sees little else. But the neighborhood also boasts eateries that speak not to the comfort of national fast-food dining but to the richness that waves of immigrants have brought to Miami's cuisine. Within a few blocks there is Honduran, Nicaraguan, Peruvian, and Haitian cuisine served at the kind of down-at-the-heels-looking joints that you pray have great food. Housed in a building with a lime-green shingled awning on the corner of 30th Street and Biscayne Boulevard, Delicias del Mar Peruano offers fresh seafood seasoned with lime, basil, mint, garlic and other pungent flavorings. Portions are large enough for two. The fiery jalapeño salsa with sliced baguettelike bread is worth a visit alone. The restaurant prepares six kinds of ceviche, heat adjusted to order; seafood soup (with octupi, large shrimp, and mussels in a clear broth); and perfect arroz con mariscos (shrimp with yellow rice) with flaky rice and just-cooked shrimp. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, just like a neighborhood restaurant should be.
The sun may have set on the British Empire long ago, but one of its key rituals continues weekdays at the Biltmore Hotel. The rapacious guardians of civilization knew that whether it be the languid tropics of the colonies or the drizzly comfort of hearth and home, nothing beats a good cuppa as the day turns dozy around midafternoon. Beneath the vaulted ceilings of this grand hotel's lobby, for an hour and half starting at 3:00 p.m., the tradition continues as high tea is served. It all begins with the raw materials from a 115-year-old English tea company. A gracious attendant wheels in a cart filled with teas accented by exotic flavors that carry names like Imperial Gunpowder, Afternoon Darjeeling, and Tippy Assam. The last of these is harvested each year, between April and June, from the Brahmanputra Valley in northeast India. Off to the side a woman plays piano softly. The server pours the tea into china cups, through silver strainers that are then placed into individual silver bowls. She brings fresh fruit and a selection of crustless finger sandwiches that range from salmon to cucumber. Next come wickedly rich scones made of fluffy shortbread dusted in powdered sugar. A dish laden with whipped butter and a complete selection of fruit preserves complements the pastries. At this point, rather than risk the perils of overindulgence, pause and appreciate the beautiful orchids atop the five tables, the plushly comfortable chairs, and, of course, more of that delightfully calming elixir. The last course arrives as if by magic, a plate brimming with confections: little macaroons, diminutive lemon tarts, and mini-pecan pies. When the $15 check comes, it seems a small price to pay for the burden of being civilized.
Just the name, written in big old-fashioned script above the entrance to this 32-year-old bakery, makes you think of sweet treats. And here there's an abundance of just about every Latin-American-style treat that can be baked. Homemade tamales simmer in a crockery pot by the cash register, and periodically a kitchen helper carries out fresh loaves of Cuban bread. In the morning and afternoon, people stop in on their way to or from work to pick up empanadas or pan gloria, maybe some pasteles de guayaba, cookies or cupcakes for the kids. The cakes at Bon-Bon are beautiful (it's best to order first and pick up later to ensure freshness), and the pies are dense and heavily crusted. The chocolate, coconut, and almond brazos -- a rolled log of cake that looks like an arm -- are festively decorated and even more fun for the palate.
Since Miami no longer is the nation's southernmost city but Latin America's northernmost, a yearning for Old South Florida cuisine rarely becomes urgent. But after a day gaping at gators in the Glades, nothing hits the spot like cracker cuisine, primo of which is barbecue. And the primo place at which to get it is the Pit, conveniently situated at the outskirts of the Everglades on the Tamiami Trail, miles before the road morphs into Calle Ocho. The décor in this small spot is perfect for a Florida barbecue joint: rustic wood booths inside, tiki-hut-covered picnic tables outside. And the food is even more perfect. This is genuine you-can-smell-the-smoke-for-miles pit barbecue, cooked slow over smoldering blackjack oak. The tender yet toothy ribs are terrific. But hard-core classicists order the $3.95 triple-winnerer: juicy pulled pork topped with crunchy, slightly sweet chopped coleslaw right on the sandwich, just like in North Carolina. And for noncarnivores, there's elegant fried fresh catfish. Among side orders, lightly floured crisp real onion rings are required eating, as are tangy-sweet barbecue beans. For dessert skip the overly sweet key lime pie and order another beer, since the Pit has imported Beck's and some Hank Jr. (or Senior) on the jukebox.
Molina's has a large and dedicated fan club; it's certainly among the best Cuban restaurants in town. Thus Molina's black bean soup, as a staple of any Cuban cuisine, has to be perfect, and it is. Very hearty, a nice thick broth enriched with just enough of the right seasonings to complement, not overpower, the succulent legume.
When Picanha's opened a couple of years ago in the former Tark's, which was attached to a Dairy Queen, we thought it would be another restaurant serf, dredging the lower realm of the dining public for customers. We're not ashamed to admit we were wrong about this honest Brazilian eatery, which is named for the cut of rump roast called a pincanha. Indeed the eatery was so successful with both Brazilians and the uninitiated alike that it recently took its meaty linguincinha sausages and rich prawns sautéed in palm oil and coconut milk to a more conducive venue: the former Mark's Place. Now the Grille is even more packed, especially on Thursdays for Brazilian-style karaoke and caiprinhas, and on weekends for executive chef Edson Milto's traditional feijoada. And here we thought nothing could ever take the Place of Mark's.

Power hour gap plays only get alerted in chat since they're often more volatile.
This is my flagship service and core strategy in which you'll receive 3 – 5 swing trade alerts per week by email and text in real-time. I also spend a considerable amount of time teaching this strategy.
Almost all of the alerts come from my daily watch list. In predictable markets my daily watch list goes out the night before, in volatile markets early the morning of. The goal is to provide working professionals with an active swing trading strategy designed to produce profits year in and year out simply trading 3 – 5 times per week with 1 – 4 day hold times.
I specialize in liquid nano, micro and small cap stocks i.e. anything under a market cap of $2 billion, a price between $.01 and $10 with a Beta of 1 or higher.
My profit goal is 5 – 10% rinse and repeat. I'll definitely let a bull ride for 20 – 30% but in general I'm paying myself around 5 – 10%. which would be between $1,500 – $5,000 on the winners for me. Video lessons teaching the strategy are the foundation of this service so please study them.

DO NOT attempt to day trade if you are new to trading. Again, I can't say this enough and experts agree with me, if you are new leave day trading and options alone. Swing trading works! Leave day trading for the pros. If you want to be a pro, great, but build a foundation first.
Here are the 7 biggest mistakes I see beginners make.
Even if you only plan to mirror my trades, understanding what I'm looking at makes the process smoother. My system is simple but takes a little time to learn. The harder you study the more sense it will make which will add a lot of confidence in the trades you make.
