Hatch Fan wins sailing innovation award
by Sail-World Cruising on 1 Feb 2013
Taku Hatch Fan at work SW
A product which was made a new Product of the Week by Sail-World Cruising back in October has just won a 2013 Pittman Innovation Award. It is the Caframo Taku Hatch Fan.
While wind scoops work wonderfully in a breeze in an anchorage, and some of the better ones even work to the wind in a marina, if there's no wind and you don't go to air-conditioning, this hatch fan could be your answer.
The 12-volt Taku is designed to provide both powerful ventilation to remove hot, stale air from the cabin and quiet circulation to move air throughout. A unique locking suction cup mounting system allows the fan to be installed directly on hatch glass in seconds with no hole drilling or fasteners required. This means you can store it away when sailing and simply put it up when in a marina.
The pivoting fan head can be swiveled to allow the Taku to exhaust stale air out of the cabin or to draw fresh air in through the hatch. The fan head can also be swung down into the cabin, allowing a cooling breeze to be directed wherever it is needed.
In powerful Air Blast Exchange mode, the Taku will circulate air in or out of the cabin at a rate of over 500 cubic feet per minute (CFM). At the medium Comfort setting, the Taku can re-circulate fresh air in a 36' boat eight times per hour – the optimum air volume change rate recommended by the Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology.
Easy to use, push button controls operate all fan functions and the built-in LED cabin lamp. When not in use, the Taku can be folded up out of the way and locked into its yoke against the hatch glass.
Powered by an ultra-efficient, long-life, fully sealed, brushless motor that draws less than one amp at Comfort mode settings, the Taku has been specially-designed for the marine environment, with ball bearings, stainless steel shaft, UV- resistant plastic and EPDM suction cups.

Low DSC connect rate-Sailor irresponsibility or technological failure?
Is the low take-up of available DSC connection to radio because of sailor irresponsibility, or is it more complex?
Recently we published a story about how few yachts had their Digital Selective Calling (DSC) equipped VHF radio connected to their GPS so that their position would be recorded in an emergency. The tone of the article suggested that the low take-up was an indication of the irresponsibility of sailors, but responses to Sail-World after the article suggest that the situation is more complex than this

Sailor's aid or sailor's nightmare - the tides explained
It's not surprising if you don't exactly understand tides - it took a lot of figuring out over the ages
As sailors, we all know that tides come twice a day, vary according to the moon, and, depending on where you are sailing are either unimportant, reasonably important, or critically important to a successful completion of your voyage. But why the moon? and if the moon only circles the earth once a day, why are there two tides? Here, Grant Headifen of Nauticed, explains

TechCrunch has a post this morning from digital music veteran Michael Robertson on Apple's "Secret Cloud Strategy" and the importance of the software technology that it acquired from Lala. "An upcoming major revision of iTunes will copy each user's catalog to the net making it available from any browser or net connected ipod/touch/tablet," Robertson writes, adding that more than 100 million iTunes users will be able to upload their catalogs to the net with a simple "An upgrade is available…" notification dialog box.
Software is dandy. But as we've previously noted, that kind of storage requires a ginormous data center – which Apple is already busy building in Maiden, North Carolina. For those just joining this story, here's a summary of our reporting on Apple's move into the clouds.
- Is an iTunes "Reboot" Driving the iDataCenter Project?
- The iDataCenter and the Cloud
- Maiden iDataCenter Will be 500,000 Square Feet
- It's Official: Apple Data Center to North Carolina
- The Apple-Google Data Center Corridor
- Apple iDataCenter set for Maiden
- Apple Moving Quickly on NC Project
Will Apple have anything to say about its cloud computing ambitions in its hotly-anticipated product announcement Jan. 27 in San Francisco? Who knows. Speculation is already out of control, with most of the focus on the expected rollout of a tablet computer. But Apple's plans for its huge new data center won't remain secret forever.

Game 1: Box Score
Game 2: Box Score
KISSIMMEE, FLA. – The Penn softball team (3-8) dropped a doubleheader to Tennessee-Martin (13-6) on Thursday afternoon at the Rebel Spring Games in Kissimmee, Fla. Alexis Borden through a one-hitter in the early game, striking out 11 batters over eight innings, but the Quakers would fall in extras, 1-0. Penn would take a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth during the second game, but was unable to hold on, falling 5-2.
Game 1:
WP: Kenzi Tate (7-1), 8 IP, 7 H, 2 BB, 8 K
LP: Alexis Borden (1-5), 8 IP, H, BB, 11 K
Neither pitcher allowed an earned run in the first half of the doubleheader, as the only run scored would come on a fielder's choice in the top of the eighth inning for Tennessee-Martin. Borden had the second-best outing of her career as a Quaker – she threw a perfect game last season against Cornell to win the Ivy League South Division title – as the sophomore struck out 11 batters over eight innings of work. She allowed just one hit, a bunt single in the top of the fourth inning, and was flawless from then on in her fifth complete game of the season.
The only run that scored came with a runner already in scoring position in the top of the eighth inning. According to the international extra innings rule, a runner is placed at second base to start the first extra inning. Additionally, if a runner placed on base without having actually reached safely (hit, walk, etc.) scores a run, the opposing team is charged with the run, but not the pitcher.
Unfortunately for Borden, Penn was unable to produce on offense when it counted – with runners on base – and totaled 12 runners left on base at the end of the game. Despite that, a few Quakers did have solid days at the plate. Brooke Coloma and Stephanie Caso each went 2-for-4 and Kanani Datan went 2-for-2 with a walk.
Game 2:
WP: Casey Vincent (5-3), 7 IP, 4 H, ER, 2 BB, 6 K
LP: Amanda Gisonni (0-2) 2 IP, 3 H, 4 ER, K
Things began quietly in the second half of the doubleheader, as neither team scored until the bottom of the third, when the Skyhawks got one across on two hits. That would be the only run Lauren Li (3 IP, 4 H, ER, 2 K) would allow in her three innings of work in the start. She would be replaced by Gisonni who allowed one hit and no runs in the bottom of the fourth.
Penn would then score two in the top of the fifth, getting Li off the hook for the loss. Korrine Raby (0-for-2, BB, R, K) would walk to lead off the inning, and then Jessica Melendez (0-for-2, K) would drop down a sacrifice bunt to advance Raby into scoring position. Karina Rios (1-for-3, R) would reach on an error by the Skyhawk pitcher, advancing Raby to third. After Rios stole second, Li (1-for-3, RBI) would hit a single through the left side to bring Raby home. Caso (0-for-2, RBI) would reach on fielder's choice in the next at-bat, scoring Rios.
That would be the extent of Penn's offense on the day though, as Gisonni would be charged with four runs in the bottom of the sixth. The freshman would load the bases, giving up two runs, and would be relieved by Lindsay Mann (IP, 2 H). The senior would allow two more runs to score – both charged to Gisonni – and Penn would enter the top of the seventh needing three runs to extend the game. Rios would reach after a one-out single, but the threat would stop there as 5-2 would be the final score.
Penn will finish up its stay in Florida tomorrow with another doubleheader. The Quakers will play a South Dakota in the early game at 11 a.m., and follow that up with a matchup against Akron. The Coyotes defeated the Red and Blue, 9-1, in their first meeting on Tuesday. Live stats for both games will be available HERE and you can also follow @UPennSoftball for in-game updates.

Big 12 Women's Basketball Preview
It's a new year, and despite a tough game last night, there is work to be done and much to look forward to as this young K-State team looks forward to the Big 12 season ahead.
"I thought we had moments in this game that showed the kind of basketball team we could be, but those moments were brief in relation to the full 40 minutes," head coach Deb Patterson said. "We've got to keep building on those positive and those good moments, and eliminate the mistake-filled moments."
There is no easy game when it comes to Big 12 play, Patterson says, and the team's upcoming schedule is among the toughest in the conference.
Here's a look at each Big 12 women's basketball team and how the teams have fared so far this season:
No. 9 Baylor (11-1, 1-0 Big 12) suffered its solo loss in a 133-130, four-overtime game to Kentucky. While the Bears may not have a perfect record, there is no doubt the team is among the top threats in the nation. K-State travels to Waco, Texas, on Jan. 22, for its second matchup against the Bears.
No. 11 Oklahoma State (12-0, 1-0 Big 12) has overcome tough nonconference opponents like Michigan State and Georgia Tech. The Cowgirls held on to their perfect record by defeating Texas last night in its first conference game of the year. K-State plays Oklahoma State for the first time on Jan. 8, in Bramlage Coliseum.
No. 14 Iowa State (12-0, 1-0 Big 12) has overcome teams like Cincinnati and Iowa in nonconference play. The Cyclones stayed perfect last night by defeating TCU, 71-49. The Wildcats face the Cyclones for the first time this season on Jan. 18, in Bramlage Coliseum.
No. 25 Oklahoma (7-4, 1-0 Big 12) has had perhaps one of the toughest nonconference schedules as it has taken on teams like Louisville and Duke, while its key victories were wins over Gonzaga and Wichita State. The Sooners will travel to Manhattan on Jan. 11, to take on K-State in Bramlage Coliseum.
Texas (9-4, 0-1 Big 12) is sitting just outside the top 25 polls as it is receiving votes in both the AP and coaches' polls. With one of the conference's toughest nonconference schedules in matchups against both No. 5 Tennessee and No. 4 Stanford, the Longhorns will be well prepared for the toughness this year in the Big 12.
West Virginia (12-1, 1-0 Big 12) is on a 12-game winning streak after beating Kansas, 65-55, last night in its first Big 12 game of 2014 and is also receiving votes for the AP Top 25 poll. The Mountaineers' solo loss was to Ohio State in their first game of the season. K-State plays the Mountaineers on Feb. 8, in Morgantown, W. Va.
TCU (9-4, 0-1 Big 12) fell to Iowa State last night. Much like K-State, its nonconference schedule was a mix of both good and bad. A late-season opponent, the Wildcats don't play the Horned Frogs for the first time this season until Feb. 19, in Fort Worth, Texas.
Along with K-State, Texas Tech (6-6, 0-1 Big 12) and Kansas (7-6, 0-1 Big 12) also entered the 2014 calendar year with winning records, which meant the Big 12 has every team competing at a high level. Among the nation's toughest conferences, the Big 12 was the only conference that contained two teams with undefeated nonconference records.
"I think every team we line up against (in the Big 12) is going to be this way. The names will change, but they're not going to back down," Patterson said. "If you don't play with toughness, they'll get to the foul line. Defensively, they'll tear you up if you don't really have a presence. So I don't look at Baylor a lot different than anyone else in this league, quite frankly. This league is full of teams that, with their own unique style, will put it to you if you're not tough and fierce."
The Wildcats' next Big 12 matchup is in Austin, Texas, as the Wildcats are set to face the Longhorns in a 2 p.m., contest on Sunday. The game will be aired on the Longhorn Network.

Last minute tips for parents when the SHTF
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Gradual Decline
While it's possible that when the SHTF it will occur all at once, I seriously doubt that will be the case. Most of the time, when anarchy raises its ugly head, it comes on through various signs, ratchets up, and then enters our awareness.
We're conditioned by Hollywood. A film must tell a story that will be compelling and make a return on its investment. There are very few films, made by a dedicated group of artists, that are made to tell a story to inspire or educate or to simply evoke an emotional response. The only way such independent films can be made is if those same investors can or will make other money in blockbuster films.
In Hollywood, we see a story that takes place over two hours. There isn't time for a gradually developing story. Such a story would be boring to most of the audience. Even the medium of television generally tells a compelling story within an hour frame work, though many have a gradual overarching theme.
As such, we're conditioned to expect a sudden change in any disaster. That's how it is usually told and revealed on the screen. That portrayal is false. Things don't generally just happen. An earthquake could destroy suddenly, but clues generally occur, infrastructure is not properly built, and preparation not made, and all of these contribute to it.
Do you see any signs that a looming earthquake, such as we have not ever seen, may be coming? Have you built up any infrastructure to help you cope? Have you prepared in any way that is adequate to the task?
Fear is the least effective motivator of preparation. Why is that?
Part of it, is that is foolish. Bad things happen. Sometimes they happen randomly. Assigning import to random events and making a conclusion based upon it, is extremely flawed.
Fear generates exhaustion. Every time you spike your adrenaline, you get a burst of energy, but then, tiredness follows. Do a cycle of this over and over in wasted fear, will lead to exhaustion and a lack of resolve in preparing.
Buying odd things that we do not need, will not help us, and may waste our income, is not preparation. Many of us have less income today than we normally do. Our spouses are watching, as are our children. Wasting money and effort at this point is folly. Suddenly buying a year of rice or beans if our families do not eat rice and beans will strike them as odd behaviour. It is.
I eat what I buy. I don't buy food that is expensive generally. I might on rare occasions. I eat rice and beans to save money. It is ordinary behaviour for me. Eating prudently and not wasting God's resources is a life choice. That hasn't happened suddenly, but gradually, and goes back to my early adulthood.
What does preparation mean?
People think preparation implies a future event. NO NO NO. We should be constantly preparing. It is about the now, not the future.
Living in the now implies the importance of the present. What is occurring now is vital. The person in my life is important now. My friends are important now. The people I disagree and don't get along with are important now. God is important now. Jesus is important now.
You are preparing yourself to be the best you can be now. Every act is important now. The kindness that you fail to offer up without hope of return is important now. Lavishing affection and love and friendship on your loved ones is important now.
The skills that you learn today are not set. We all can learn, and we constantly are learning, in a dynamic way to improve ourselves now. Anyone who think they've got it all figured out, don't need to change, and have done enough, have lost the WAY. They are far more lost than anyone lost in the woods.
Figuring out that you have lost the way, or that you are not doing enough, is preparation. You prepare yourself moment by moment. You learn to hunt now so you can take care of yourself and loved ones now. You identify the plants in your immediate area, look for more, read books, take classes, talk to wise ones, because you wish to live more fully and completely in the love of the Source...NOW.
You take care of the body that the Source gave you, right now, not waiting for a more opportune moment to do so. With every breath, you draw closer to a final time to be with the Source. Now is the time, not later as you grow weaker.
You know what folly is? We want to be accepted by people and valued and loved. That is all good. We want however for them to like and love us BEFORE we transform into whatever better self we can be.
Do you do that with the ones around you? Do you accept them for who they are, and who they are becoming? Or do you wish they would get over themselves and grow up?
A lot of people criticize others. They see the things in themselves that they most despise, project that in the things that others do, and hate them for it. Why? It is wasted effort.
What possible importance is that? Spend that time which is now wasted, make yourself better, now.
If you don't like someone, what they represent, and its perceived affect on you, then do something now to minimize their effect on you. There will always be _____. I hope and pray that my limits of wisdom don't ever obfuscate the fact that whatever philosophy or spiritual beliefs that I possess are NOT so superior that I am the pinnacle of the Source's creation.
There are billions of souls on this planet. Someone is better than you. Get over it. If someone is better than you, you are better than someone else. Who cares? Who is better is not important.
A huge amount of time, effort, and money is spent on adoring some entertainer or sports figure. Do a little reading. They often have so much attention, so much adoration, so much wealth, that they self-destruct. The illusion falls away. They were not better than us. Instead we often feel a momentary sadness for their tragedy. More money, lavish lifestyles, and more adoration doesn't make us happier.
When you adopt a sense of the now, and are constantly preparing to make yourself better, you spend a lot of time thinking. The more that you prepare, the more you wish to pass along the information. You realize how important these skills are. You realize how inadequate you are to the task. You realize the immensity of Creation. The interconnectedness of all things.
You become aware of a deep abiding Love and Grace. I call that the Source. It is a well of living water. Sometimes I wake with tears of gratitude. I feel so humbled that such a Presence knows my name.
Is it a delusion? If it is, and I live my whole life being kind, as good as I can be, share my love without hope of return, and teach others about the Source, but don't impose my will on them, what does it matter if it is a delusion?
What is a greater delusion? Taking money from another to have more toys is far worse. Despising another based on who they love, what they believe, and imposing my philosophy and spiritual beliefs on them. That is a wretched delusion.
You cannot change the past. We have very little control of the future. You can only prepare for the now. Live in the now. Teach your children to love completely now. Do it yourself.

No sacrifice for speed
When we learned Océ had a new, large, Arizona UV-cure printer, the 550 GT, we were curious as to its place in the product line. Arizona UV printers have always been perceived as mid-range devices, that is, the machines are well accepted in high-quality, medium size shops. We discovered the new printer was built for the next level up. Meaning, if you're after a fast, versatile printer that will produce large, high-quality prints, then you may have found it. And, expectedly, we found that Océ hadn't compromised anything to attain the high speed.
Océ said, "The Océ Arizona 550 GT is the fastest yet, printing twice as fast as other Océ Arizona models and with image quality superior to all competitive systems."
Specifications and features
All of Océ's Arizona, UV-cure, flatbed-printer models are solidly built. They have a robust vacuum table and a gantry that looks like it could take down a house.
A gantry can be the weak point in flatbed printers, so a durable one indicates long and rewarding use.
The 550 GT measures 14.3 ft. wide x 6.5 ft. deep, and it stands 4.5 ft. high. Add the optional roll-media kit, and the depth increases to 7.5 ft. It weighs 1,179 lbs. without the roll-feed option and 1,598 lbs. with it. The printer requires two, 208 to 240VAC lines at 60 Hz each, single phase, and 16A circuits. It has its own vacuum pump, so there's no shop air requirement.
You can configure the media table's vacuum system to handle three zones. A foot pedal allows additional control.
The printer incorporates an LCD monitor and mouse. Its interface has six modes that range from print-job setup to maintenance functions. Further, via the monitor, you can track job statistics as well as ink levels and UV lamp usage.
Most instructions are entered via mouse clicks, but a virtual keyboard pops up for alphanumeric entries. The printer comes with both a USB interface and a 100 base-T Ethernet connection that will support gigabyte speeds.
Onyx ProductionHouse RIP software is an available option.
The Arizona series is a great flatbed platform producing unsurpassed image quality that most other competitors do not even come close to.
It's shortfall is the Roll Media Option as it is very selective when it comes to suitable media. I suggest that you read Oce's own bulletin on the matter that you can find here;
The lack of built in vacuum on the RMO makes printing difficult on most media that gets affected by heat including self adhesive vinyls, Synthetic paper and Adhesive Polyesters to name a few.
Make sure to test your selection of media prior to committing to this otherwise fantastic machine.
Also make sure that it works at full width of the RMO and can handle the weight of the rolls that you want to use.
We are looking forward to the day when Oce will turn the this machine into its full potential and become a true production machine in all aspects of the word.

All of the stories you have heard about unscrupulous used car salesman apply here. Their techs are not trained on the equipment and then they will send an "expert" to assess the problem and they will blame yo or your company for your problems with their equipment. Absurd.

Here, we have a flawed work that clearly shows how Manowar have grown. The production, while being significantly cleaner than Kings of Metal, is wonderfully heavy, with a solid bass and gritty guitar, with wonderful licks courtesy of David Shankle. The drum sound is monumensious, and the performance is bone crushing.
Aside from that, what makes Manowar great? Is it the endless posturing on how metal they are? No, and that's the flaw that grew out of proportion on Louder Than Hell -- a belief that someone possesses a quality simply because he says he does. Manowar are no more metal here than they were on Kings of Metal, yet here, they seem to be more obsessive about it; even on the songs where the subject isn't metal. The lyrical content is matured, approaching other subject areas besides vikings, odin, and battle, like the Cherokee, for which Manowar were brave enough to admit they were pretty good fighters. But behind all that, what's really here? An album with lots of headbanging moments and plenty of anthemic songs, plus an outstanding drum performance. Isn't that what Manowar have always been about?
But, alas, there's the song "Achilles, Ecstasy, and Agony in 8 parts." This song would've been a wonderful, albiet schmaltzy, but overall very epic and incredible if it was a.) at the end, and b.) without the incessent soloing, and c.) not quite as jarring and abrupt. If Manowar had explored the idea enough, it would've made an excellent, albiet not as long song.
So, what we have here is a bunch of great, NEW ideas (that they would milk for another decade), but haven't quite been used correctly. Think of it as Manowar for the 90's. Sadly enough, it would end up being by far Manowar's best CD of the 90's, with Louder Than Hell, too inconsistent to hold much value to anybody who actually appreciates Manowar not for being metal, but for being epic and glitzy.

Muslim outrage spreads across Arab world
CAIRO — A once-obscure anti-Islam video continued to provoke outrage in the Arab world on Friday, with violent demonstrations spreading to more than 20 Arab nations.
At least four deaths resulted from clashes outside U.S. and other embassies in several Arab capitals.
Egyptians — the first to protest the mysterious video — massed for a fourth day here. Held back from the U.S. Embassy by a stone street barricade, they fought with Egyptian police firing hundreds of volleys of tear gas.
Egyptian media reported that a United Nations peacekeeping base in Egypt's Sinai peninsula was attacked by Bedouin tribesmen, who have clashed in recent months with Egyptian soldiers. A watchtower was torched, and three peacekeepers — two Colombians and an Egyptian — were injured, according to reports.
The unrest erupted on Tuesday when an Egyptian mob assaulted the U.S. Embassy, painting anti-American and pro-al-Qaida graffiti on walls and replacing the American flag with an al-Qaida banner.
Hours later, U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three embassy staffers were slain during a protest at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
U.S. and Libyan officials believe Islamist terrorists executed that attack, perhaps to mark the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. Libyan authorities have arrested four suspects.
The United States sent additional Marine Corps guards to Libya, ordered warships into the area and reportedly increased unmanned aerial surveillance flights across the region.
On Friday, protesters torched three American restaurant franchises in Tripoli, Lebanon, while a mob broke through a security fence and into outbuildings at the U.S. Embassy in Sana'a, Yemen.
Despite the violence spreading from North Africa to Indonesia, some analysts have noted that the mobs are not extraordinarily large by regional standards.
Egypt's ruling Muslim Brotherhood at first called for nationwide protests for Friday, then urged its supporters to refrain from marching or attacking foreign embassies.
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy waited for more than 24 hours before issuing a tepid initial response to the unrest, never mentioning the U.S. Embassy.
In his bid to head off the violence on Friday, Morsy said, "It is required by our religion to protect our guests and their homes and places of work."
He called the killing of Stevens unacceptable in Islam.
"To God, attacking a person is bigger than an attack on the Kaaba," he said, referring to Islam's holiest site in Mecca.
The unrest here is especially significant: As the most populous Arab nation, Egypt has enormous political influence regionally. It also is widely known as America's No. 1 Arab ally, pocketing more than $1.3 billion annually in U.S. aid.
Several hundred demonstrated in Cairo's Tahrir Square, where crowds numbering in the hundreds of thousands helped depose Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Some threatened foreign journalists, and one man waved a photograph of slain al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
Just blocks away near the U.S. Embassy, hundreds of mostly young men massed and fought ongoing battles with Egyptian security forces.
"Maybe this popular pressure will make the government react," said Muhammed Abdullah, a bearded protester holding a sign that read, "The people want to expel the U.S. ambassador."
Protesters and police heaved rocks at each other over the hastily built barricade blocking the street to the embassy. Police sprayed high-pressure water at men scaling the wall and fired thick clouds of tear gas.
"I am here to defend the Prophet Muhammad because they are insulting him!" shouted Mahmoud Abdel Azziz, a government worker.
He called the Internet video "a huge insult to Islam." Yet like many protesters, he admitted he has not seen it and did not know that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had denounced it.
"We will not forgive what has happened," said fellow government worker Eid Muhammed. "I want this film to be pulled off the Internet and for the U.S. Congress to draft a law to punish those who insult religion."
Pointing to boys fighting with police, he added: "Our religion is not like this, but you made us do this."
"Obama, we have more Osamas!" shouted another man.
At midday, protesters tried to outflank security forces to reach the U.S. Embassy, provoking clashes along the Nile's corniche. Police fired volleys of tear gas, forcing the nearby Semiramis Intercontinental Hotel and Shepherd Hotel to lock down.
"I am here to make my prophet victorious," said Muhammed Nasoud, a medical lab worker. "We love everyone, but the American administration encouraged this film. That shouldn't be shown – this is not freedom!" Then he raced away as police fired more tear gas.

One of America's most distinctive indigenous musical styles, barbershop quartet singing, has maintained a following for the last century because of its smooth sound, durable repertoire and the way it evokes nostalgia for old-time Americana.
Tucson is currently serving as host for the 2012 Midwinter Convention of the International Barbershop Harmony Society, a gathering of barbershop harmony groups of all ages from around the globe.
Joining us to perform in the AZPM Studios is the Tucson-based quartet Touch of Grey, comprised of Jim Hart (lead), Ken Sylvia (bass), Don Lightfoot (tenor) and Bill Archambeau (baritone).

I have a 1000w phonics digital 4 channel amp with 2 10" alpine type e subs. I am aware that a mono amp would be more appropriate for this application, but this is what I have for now. Everything worked just fine for a while (bridged to all 4 channels), and now the amp won't turn on at all. Now that the subs are disconnected, and I have moved the ground to a much better place, the amp still will not turn on (even without the speakers connected). Also, my signal cables are run on the same side as the power and remote (didn't find out that this could be a problem until after everything I installed everything). I plan on getting a mono amp at some point in the future (when I can afford to), but I would just like to get these subs moving in the meantime. Any ideas?

Woods still in Buick driver's seat for now
By Ian O'Connor, Gannett News Service
TULSA Vigils should be kept, prayers should be whispered,
candles should be burned from Peekskill to Pearl River. For anyone who plays
golf or drives a Buick or knows someone who does both, the final round of the
U.S. Open will be an exercise in helplessness and hope.
Tiger Woods could wake up Monday morning, curse the sudden
void in his trophy case, and wonder, "Why in the world should I spend the next
six days of my life in Harrison, N.Y.?"
He might even call another legend who can't break par,
Michael Jordan, and ask for the name and number of the 52-year-old umbrella
salesman who just busted Jordan's ribs with a simple weekend warrior nudge.
"Hey MJ, maybe he can, you know, drive a cart over my big toe."
Here in the brutal heartland heat, the Buick Classic has
reason to sweat. If the soon-to-be dethroned king of golf decides to come down
with a callous or cold sore or hangnail, the Westchester Country Club might
as well be the Westminster Kennel Club.
Woods has the power to let the dogs out, to let them chase
the Buick without any Tiger on their tails. It probably depends more on his
mood bad hair day or good hair day than the millions upon millions
his sponsor is paying him to push tickets, sell cars and inflate stock.
For Woods isn't coming back from nine shots down to win
the U.S. Open and advance his historic streak of major championships, no matter
how many times he insisted yesterday that he still has a chance, that "anyone
who's within 10 shots of the lead can still win."
Tiger played his own tail off at Southern Hills yesterday
and still only managed a 1-under 69 to finish at 4-over, leaving the Open to
the faceless legion dueling Sergio Garcia and birthday boy Mickelson. This development
begged the following question:
When Napoleon lost Waterloo exactly 186 years ago tomorrow,
did he see fit to march on White Plains?
Perhaps he was too busy fleeing to plan the attack. Tiger
Woods? He'll have plenty of time to draft his letter of withdrawal, to describe
the physical pain or mental fatigue that would regretfully, of course
force him to spend the week in Aruba with the supermodel of his choice.
After all, Jordan won't be around to play in that Wednesday
pro-am with Woods and Mayor Giuliani, not after his body reminded him he can't
be Kobe anymore. Tiger can't even count on Westchester's own William Jefferson
Clinton showing up with his driver and stogie; Clinton wouldn't want to do to
Tiger's woods what he did to Agassi's racket.
OK, OK, I know Woods has committed to doing the Buick rain
or shine, Open trophy or no Open trophy, DiMaggio streak or no DiMaggio streak.
But that was before he started playing in more sand than a kid building a castle
at the beach. That was before Tiger started missing fairways, missing greens,
missing putts missing everything but deep rough and low limbs.
"Not that far behind, only eight back," Woods said before
getting the news that he was actually nine back. "In a U.S. Open that's not
really as much as you might think. If I was playing in the Bob Hope, eight back,
you're not looking too good."
Same goes for the Buick Classic. The lower stakes and easier
conditions of everday Tour life allows the Paulsons and Waldorfs and Frosts
to bully the bullies before Grand Slam reality comes crashing through the walls.
Woods lives and dies for the majors. With apologies to my man Ralph Branca and
the good Mr. Mara, Westchester Country Club is an off-Broadway stage, a nice
jazz club dressed up as Carnegie Hall.
But it's looking a tad better than Southern Hills right
now. Until further notice, the Buick Classic can claim itself a bigger event
than the national championship because Woods is in the Buick and he's out of
the Open.
That's how golf tournaments will be measured for the next
quarter century. Woods is the world's most famous athlete and one of its five
most recognizable citizens. Once he dropped out of serious contention yesterday,
the U.S. Open became the Advil Western Open or the John Deere Classic
take your pick.
"I hit a lot of good shots today," Woods said, "and I hit
just so many beautiful putts that just didn't go in, that were just grazing
the edge."
NBC must've been thrilled. These near-misses surely cost
the network a few zillion viewers for today's final round, when America was
ready to jump right from the Lakers to a one-man fast break.
"I'm really not that angry at myself because I've tried,"
Woods said.
The network suits will be less forgiving. Only they won't
be half as angry as the Buick officials who sold tickets on Tiger's name, and
the local folks who rushed to buy them (never mind us rambling journalists pouring
blood into that special section), if Woods decides he can't possibly inspire
himself to play after surrendering one of the greatest streaks in all of sports,
right there with Edwin Moses' hurdles and Joe D's bat.
Tiger usually takes weeks off after the majors. This time
around, he committed to giving Buick some bang for its buck.
That was then and this most definitely is now. John Daly
once bailed on the Buick after getting ugly on a plane.
Would the genteel Woods find some other way to pass the
Buick to Garcia, Duval and Els? Once the Yanks are done sinking the Mets, would
Woods dare leave the metropolitan area with a crater in its sporting soul?
Tiger will likely honor his word. But the mere threat of
a sore throat or a sprained toe should have every golf fan and Buick owner from
Peekskill to Pearl River lighting candles and saying prayers, hoping Woods chooses
four rounds in Harrison over first class to Aruba.

The Barbell Coffee Drinking StrategyPosted: December 27, 2012 | Author: Greg Linster | Filed under: The Barbell Strategy | 3 Comments »
Every since I first read The Black Swan I've tried to apply the barbell strategy (i.e., a form of hedging using asymmetric diversification) to as many areas of life as I can possibly apply it. In other words, the barbell strategy is a strategy in which you insulate yourself from negative Black Swans (extremely low probability events with devastating consequences), all the while still taking a small gamble to reap the benefits of positive Black Swans (extremely low probability events with an exponentially wild payoff).
Let me illustrate this concept as it would pertain to investing. A barbell strategy in investing would include a portfolio that is made up of mostly (say, 90%) hyper-conservative investments and a small portion (say, 10%) hyper-risky investments, with absolutely no midlevel-risk. Not only does the barbell strategy apply to investing, it is equally applicable to diet and fitness. [1] Allow me to share an anecdote about my own experiences applying the barbell strategy with diet and fitness.
Prior to reading The Black Swan I was into triathlon. As a former competitive athlete in college, the sport helped fill a void in my life. However, I also naively thought that all of the chronic training was not only making me more aerobically fit, but healthier too. What a foolish belief that was! [2]
Rather abruptly after reading The Black Swan, I had an epiphany of sorts. I realized how chronically tired I had become and I decided to quit "training". While formally training, I ate quite a bit and frequently (usually six-times a day) all the while staying relatively lean. Luckily, I had read Loren Cordain's book The Paleo Diet For Athletes long before I started seriously training, so at least most of the food I was eating was of a high quality (wild game, veggies, fish, grass-fed beef, fruit, quinoa, and some rice).
After I decided to quit training I was worried that I could I never maintain a lean physique without rigorous aerobic efforts (i.e., the opposite of the barbell strategy). After-all, the only time in my life I had achieved a level of leanness I was happy with was when I was training hard. Then again, I had never used a barbell strategy when it came to diet and fitness either.
Here's what I decided to do: I ditched my training logs and quit doing any formal training all together. I started walking a lot and would go to the local park near my house to do intense 10-15 minute workouts that included sprints, pull-ups, burpies, jump-squats, and push-ups (the kind of stuff I did to get in shape for lacrosse in college). I would also intermittently fast (up to 24 hours a time) and vary my protein intake greatly every day (I also quit drinking a "recovery shake" 30 minutes after every workout), all the while still eating a Paleo-ish diet (albeit, I wasn't too strict about this). To my surprise, I not only didn't gain weight, I actually became leaner and stronger following this barbell strategy.
Sometimes we miss the most obvious things. Until very recently, I missed two obvious places in which I should be implementing the barbell strategy in life. It's fair to say that I simply have not been critical enough of my own habits. I've been blindly following "the expert's" advice that an alcoholic drink or two a day (in other words, drinking in moderation) is better for your health than is binge drinking, which only naturally makes sense, right?
Well, it made sense until I read a profound thought in Antifragile that Taleb attributed to Rory Sutherland (another thinker I greatly admire). [3] Sutherland suggested that the optimal policy for consuming alcohol would be to drink liberally a few days, coupled with several days of abstaining entirely. Chronically consuming alcohol every day, even if it's in moderation, is similar to chronic cardio in this respect.
This idea is dangerous, particularly because alcoholic drinks have an interesting property in that the amount of harm (or potential harm) they can cause doesn't scale linearly (particularly with the hangover part). For example, the eighth beer you drink in an evening is going to harm you (and make your hangover worse) much more than the seventh one. Anyone who has been hung-over, I'm going to assume that means all readers of this blog, has intuitively understood this at some point in their life.
According to this line of logic, I'm going to suggest that drinking slightly beyond moderation (a healthy buzz, 3-4 glasses of wine or beers for me) is healthy if it is followed by several days of absolutely no drinking. If this sounds like hormesis, it is. [4]
Anyway, after I read this section of the book, I quickly realized that if this were true of alcohol, it's probably applicable to coffee consumption too. Accordingly, I engaged Rory Sutherland on Twitter with the following question: Should one use a barbell strategy with coffee consumption too? I'm sure you can guess what his response was. [5]
Alas, since I love to drink coffee daily, I knew before I asked the question that I wasn't going to like the answer. However, not only do I not like the answer, but I greatly fear that it is true (perhaps ignorance is bliss). Going a day without a coffee is tough (I'm slowly working my way up to several days), but the Stoics were right. Nothing makes you appreciate something you enjoy like fasting from it for a while — nothing tastes better than that first cup of coffee after a day away from it. Of course, I suspect there are some health benefits too.
[1] I want to make the following point clear: while not applicable to everything, the barbell strategy is still a brilliant heuristic (i.e., a rule-of-thumb).
[2] I don't necessarily mean to discourage anyone from triathlon as I certainly understand that there are psychological reasons for competing in grueling endurance sports too. This reason is why, at least partially, I was drawn to the sport.
[3] Check out Rory Sutherland's website here.
[4] See my post on "Why I Practice Hormetism".
[5] Here is the Twitter conversation.

Could you please define chronic training? What did your training look like, before you quit and made the change? I thought cross training – biking, jogging, swimming on different days in a week and not doing one of those more than twice a week is a good way to build in some variance. But, I guess your point is more about intensity and then extended periods of rest. Even for jogging, intervals is a good way to build speed, which is consistent with the high intensity idea? I've only gotten around to moving from a completely sedentary lifestyle to cardio 5 times a week, and now I read this! 🙂 I guess this comes into play only after a basic level of fitness is achieved and not at low levels of fitness?
@shaviv:disqus Thanks for the comment. You bring up a great point about the nebulous nature of some of the words that are used by fitness enthusiasts. I'll attempt to clear up some of the confusion for you; however, don't let this post deter from you becoming active!
For starters, I should define two phrases I use in the essay: "chronic training" and "chronic cardio". When I was chronically training I was doing something (running, swimming, cycling, lifting weights, or yoga) almost every day (I'd say at least six days a week on average). For example, I was doing at least a 45 minute run (or what some people would call a "jog") six days a week, and it often was my second workout of the day. Needless to say, I didn't have much of a social life because when I wasn't training I was either at work, sleeping, eating, or laying on the couch.
When I say "chronic cardio", I'm talking about efforts that are "moderately hard". I realize that this itself is also a vague phrase, but it's going to be different for everyone depending on their fitness level. For an aerobically fit person, this can be anything from their marathon running pace to their 10K running pace. Easy running (or what some people would call jogging) is not necessarily chronic cardio and some people can run/jog marathons without engaging in chronic cardio. However, I prefer the beauty of walking and hiking to this type of easy running so I've stopped doing it altogether. So to reiterate what my point from the essay, I do a lot of walking, hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, easy cycling, etc., and a few bouts of very intense stuff anaerobic stuff — that's a barbell strategy applied to exercise.
Thanks for the clarifications. I spent some time looking at the references and other stuff on the web, so I get the gist of it now. There are many ways to look at it and incorporate it, especially given the unique circumstances of every individual. But, its a worthwhile idea.
And about coffee, it was interesting to me because I came to the same conclusion last month, mainly because of the addiction (non-serious though it might be) and de-sensitization effect you've talked about. I guess my argument was, what's the point of drinking it every day if doing so reduces the enjoyment one gets outs of it. Better to drink in bursts and enjoy each burst.
