The was the funniest episode yet! It was a nice break from the macabre.
Nice episode. The husband was never dead, and was mistaken for someone else. Interesting twist ending that debates the question of is it better to be a dead hero or a live coward. No supernatural elements.
A couple's wedding plans are disrupted when the bride's supposedly dead husband returns from the Spanish-American War.
Dianne C.
A Spanish War widow is remarrying after three years. Her fiancé is rich, well connected, and, it appears, had a hand in her dead husband's military assignment. But so did she, and when the dead husband appears to them, they search their conscience, and explore the possibilities for their continued happiness.
Joseph E.
Jack Grimes is Robert "Bobby" Halstead, who fought in Cuba with Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders. But Col. Roosevelt thinks Bobby is Billy Holmstead. Is it better to be a dead hero, or a live coward?
A good silly episode, but it makes you wonder about the fiancé with his idea to fix the situation and why she decides to marry him after that. Besides that it seems like everyone ended up okay in the end.

DORSET soldiers who lost their lives on the North West Frontier in India 115 years ago will be remembered at a service in Dorchester.
Members of the Royal British Legion and the Royal Naval Association will join members of the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment Association at the Tirah Memorial in the Borough Gardens at 11am on Wednesday October 24.
They will remember the 23 soldiers from the Dorsetshire Regiment who lost their lives during the campaign from 1897 to 1898.
Nick Speakman from the Keep Military Museum said: "In 1897, following serious unrest on the North West frontier of India and a series of attacks on forts, a large field force of 36,000 British and Indian troops was sent to the region to restore order.
"During this campaign Private Sam Vickery was awarded the Victoria Cross for gallantry." If the weather is wet on the day the service will be held at the Keep Military Museum.

|Conch Shell Mace
|Volume #36, Naruto Chapter #326
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #79
|Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Game
This mace is Kotetsu's tool that he usually stores in a scroll and summons in battle when necessary. It resembles a conch shell with numerous sharp protrusions all over its surface and a marking in the centre that resembles an eye. Its hilt is wrapped in bandages, and a chain connects the mace to the base of the hilt. Kotetsu uses it in combination with Izumo's Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field, making it easier to deal a devastating blow after the target is immobilised.
In the anime, it was shown that the protrusions on the mace can spread or integrate to form wing-like appendages that enables it to soar into the sky and evade attacks from the opponent. Even while separated, Kotetsu seems to be able to retain control with the mace's trajectory through the use of hand gestures. While it is underground, it can assume a form that has its protrusions folded against itself, this is likely to make it easier for it to move underground.[1]

Canberra's clear, clean, babbling Cotter River! In the news 100 years ago this month (in 1913) and in the news today.
To 1913 first.
Recent columns have reproduced defamatory (but very funny) cartoons from The Bulletin of 100 years ago defaming the Cotter River, water supply of the federal capital city site, of which the Sydney weekly disapproved. The Bulletin accused with doctored photographs and with cartoons that the Cotter ''Creek'' was a miserable trickle. A city there, The Bulletin said, would die of thirst. Today, of course, we know that a mighty dam is needed to store the Cotter's abundant and tasty waters.
Now a fossicking reader has come across a piece in the Queanbeyan Age of almost exactly 100 years ago. It is written by ''A Visitor'' who goes into bat for the river and against the truth-manipulating Bulletin.
After praise of several local beauty spots A Visitor notes ''The Capital Territory provides another valuable trout stream, the Cotter River. By-the-bye I have for some time been a reader of The Bulletin, and occasionally I have noticed illustrations depicting this stream as a trickling flow of some few inches in width.
''Altogether the artist, whoever he may be, has endeavoured to bring ridicule on what is to be the supply for the Capital City … I visited the locality for myself during the recent holidays.
''As I stood by the bank of this stream, saw, tasted, and appreciated the beautiful clear stream with a flow sufficient for the needs of a second Sydney, I exclaimed to my pal, 'Oh! that I had The Bulletin artist here, how I would like to sit on his chest, in the middle of the stream and baptise him in the name of falsehood and misrepresentation.''
Now, whether or not A Visitor saw them (for they are cryptic creatures) we know there were surely Murray River crayfish there enjoying the clean loveliness of the Cotter River on whose banks he stood.
For leaping forwards to the Cotter of today, on Tuesday the Australian National University announced the findings of a survey, carried out in part in the Cotter, that has discovered more Murray River crayfish than expected in Murray-Darling waters.
We spoke to Dr Chris Fulton of the Research School of Biology at ANU, and without prompting he rhapsodised that the upper Cotter (above the dam, below the dam is a more complicated saga) ''is a beautiful river … an iconic, beautiful montane stream''.
The presence in its waters of so many healthy crayfish is part of the testimony to the river's health.
He and his colleagues had been worried by an apparent decline of crayfish in the Cotter but the use of a new research tool developed at the ANU, baited underwater video cameras (it makes film stars of the crayfish), seems to show that the Cotter was probably always healthily crayfish-rich after all.
"When we used the cameras, we found five times more crayfish [in the Cotter and other rivers] than we did using traditional hoop-netting methods … This suggests the old netting method has been underestimating how many crayfish are in our rivers,'' Dr Fulton told us on Tuesday.
He sounded as enthusiastic about 2013's Cotter as the very impressed A Visitor was about the ''beautiful clear stream'' it was, contrary to the fibs of The Bulletin, in 1913.
Expressions of love for our floodlit oval
On Tuesday Manuka Oval's wondrous floodlights enjoyed their first, full, magical turning of dark night into luminous day, illuminating the night portion of the match between the PM's XI and the West Indians.
Perhaps it's because Gang-Gang has been so enthusiastic about the grand but dainty new floodlights that the column is receiving many more messages in praise of them than in condemnation. Perhaps the burghers who hate the newness the six pretty 47-metre sculptures impart to the city's skylines are resigned to them now, the way Parisians who hated the new Eiffel Tower adjusted to the fact that it was there to stay.
Here are two poems by readers, in praise of the new floodlights. One suggests, quite rightly, that the lights have the endorsement of the greatest sportsman ever to play at the hitherto Dickensian oval.
Claudia Hyles' poem is a reverent adaptation of Thomas Edward Brown's famous, staccato little poem My Garden. She wonders, though, if with the decline of the fly population people may have forgotten the ''Canberra salute'' she mentions.
My oval is a lovesome thing, God wot!
Green grass,
Tall trees,
Immense fly swat -
The veriest pursuit
Of the Canberra salute.
Guarding goal, pitch and wicket
Football and cricket
And any other game.
A glorious flame.
Here is the poem from reader Emily Gibbs. No prizes for identifying the famous work hinted at in it's opening line.
I love a floodlit oval,
A green for sweeping fours,
No shadows here; it's bright as day,
While Fingo* keeps the scores.
The illuminated Bob Hawke stand,
A thrilling PM's eleven,
In light we revel: a day/night match,
Bradman's smiling up in heaven.
*The oval's heritage-treasured Jack Fingleton scoreboard.
An earlier column's comparison of Canberra burghers' rage against the lights with rage against the new Eiffel Tower reminds a reader of the way in which one of the Eiffel Tower's most furious critics, aesthetically sensitive writer and designer William Morris, spent so much time at the tower's restaurant, dining and writing.
When asked why he was there so frequently he seethed that it was the only place in Paris he couldn't see the ''colossal vulgarity'' of the tower from!

Pub brings a wee bit of fun to Bakersfield
Omar Oseguera
March 14, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
McMurphy's Irish Pub is celebrating St. Patrick's Day in its own traditional style.
Angela Crawford, owner of McMurphy's Irish Pub, located at 14 Monterey St, said that every year they throw a big party for St. Patrick's Day.
"It's tradition to throw a party. Every year we have a DJ, beer pong, a live band and we serve corned beef and cabbage all day long."
Crawford, who is part Irish, said that St. Patrick's Day is their busiest day of the year.
"During a regular day we serve about 30 people during lunch hour, but on St. Patrick's Day we are crazy busy," Crawford said.
McMurphy's Irish Pub has been in business for almost 40 years and has many loyal customers.
Bobby Armendariz, 56, has been coming to McMurphy's for six years and said that it is a really great place to eat.
"I've always liked the food because there's always something different I can try. It's a good neighborhood pub with friendly faces," he said.
So putting Armendariz's words to the test, I decided to try bangers and mash in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
Bangers and mash, also known as sausages and mash, is made up of Irish sausages, sour cream potato cakes and cabbage with bacon.
The dish originated from the English but then became popular with the Irish.
As for what makes a traditional Irish dish, Russell Meyers, chef for McMurphy's Irish Pub, said that the dish must have some kind of potato and a large pint of beer.
"Potatoes are the basis for a lot of Irish meals, just because it was considered a poor person crop," he said.
"And the beer, well, everyone loves a good beer with their meal. It's standard to get a pint of beer when you order a meal," he said.
Meyers said that the dish is relatively simple.
"It only takes about 20 minutes to make," Meyers said.
"Just boil some potatoes and cook some sausages and you're ready to go," he said.
The California School of Culinary Arts in Pasadena is where Meyers learned to cook traditional dishes like bangers and mash.

How did you calculate standard deviation for MOV in the 11th highest peak thread? You said you were calculating it w.r.t. the mean of the other teams. Does that mean you calculate the average MOV of the other 29 teams, calculate out the variance of team 1's MOV w.r.t. the mean and then find out the standard deviation via square root?
I believe you are referring to the Walton discussion.
I replaced the Blazers MOV with the MOV with Walton in, then I calculated how many SD they were from the league mean MOV (slightly above 0.00). Based on that I got around a 2.7 SD for the Walton Blazers.

*pain (It's Not What You're Thinking) - Poem by Jane Meyer
So much depends on pain,
For pain is a warning,
It lets us know when we get too close,
To that flame that's bright and burning.
Pain gives us caution,
Lets us know we've gone too far,
Reminds us to bend head,
When we walk under that bar.
Pain helps us learn,
Teaches us that when,
We prick ourselves it hurts,
And we don't do it again.
Pain discourages death,
It makes us think twice,
Can give us enough time,
To listen to good advice.
Without pain there is no joy.
It balances things out,
So much depends on pain
Something the world can't live without.

Transatlantic R&R: Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Review by bottomfeeder
Overall Member Rating
Transatlantic R&R
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
A bit about me: I'm a divorced mom of 2 grown sons, road warrior by profession, who just loves to travel even on my vacations. I've done a number of cruises with my family but this was my second-ever solo cruise, and my second-ever transatlantic. My first solo cruise was a westbound transatlantic last fall on the Constellation. I'm pretty boring on my cruises--I like to rest, eat good food and drink good coffee, read, relax on my balcony, and listen to interesting speakers and good music while on the ship. Celebrity allows me to do all of these things in great comfort and style. Also, I'm a cheapskate--hence my forum name--and I HATE paying any more than absolutely necessary for anything.
Since I live in Florida now and only need a 1-way flight for a transatlantic cruise, I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out the best transport options to and from the More cruise. I ended up driving to a nearby airport, parking in long-term parking and then renting a car and driving to Ft. Lauderdale in it. I chose a rental company that had a free shuttle to the port, and one-way rentals don't have an extra drop-off fee in Florida like they do in most places. Then I flew back to my local airport from London at the end of the trip. For what I spent on the parking and the car rental, I could have probably spent a night at a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale that offered free cruise parking and a free shuttle to the port...but then I would have had to make the 4 hour drive home from Ft. Lauderdale after my flight instead of the 1 hour 20 minute drive home from my nearby airport. So I think I made the right choice and would do that again given the flight arrival timing.
I left home on that Saturday morning at about 8:30 and arrived at the ship at about 1:30. The check-in line was very short and I was on the ship within about 15 minutes of entering the terminal. A painless check-in experience!
I had booked a concierge class room on a great weekend sale--wanted the extra cruise point that came with it to push me into elite status with Captain's Club. While I like the expanded room service menu and the balcony footrest on the S-class cabins, I would not normally pay a whole lot extra for them...so in future I'll probably book a regular balcony unless the price is almost the same. I watched the open cabins in my class like a hawk prior to the cruise and was rewarded by noticing one of the extra-large balcony cabins (1075)come open and moving my reservation to that cabin. (Worth mentioning that I did not have the 1-2-3 deal that many onboard had, but since I am not much of a drinker and since I'm sailing solo it would definitely not have been wise for me to pay the higher fare it would cost in order to get the 1-2-3 deal.)
I certainly didn't need the giant balcony but it felt so luxurious to have it! The location was also great, right near the elevators but noise was not a problem at all. Cabins above and below. The only downside (and it was minor) was not being able to see out to the front of the ship unless I leaned way over the edge of the railing, since I was on the back of the front "hump."
After checking out my cabin and meeting my businesslike but efficient housekeeper and her assistant, I headed up to the Aqua Spa Cafe to get something to eat--I didn't want to eat a heavy lunch that late in the afternoon, so the options at the Aqua Spa Cafe were just right. I had no problem finding a seat in the solarium. I spent some time wandering around outside--it was a gorgeous day--then headed back to my room to put my wine and Diet Mtn. Dew (that I brought onboard with me) in the fridge and enjoy my extra-large balcony while reading Celebrity Today and planning my evening. (I brought 2 bottles of wine onboard and that was the only alcohol I drank on the cruise except one glass of wine for the captain's toast at the theater--didn't even touch the free bubbly that was in my cabin.)
That night I went to the dining room (I had Select dining) a couple times and the line looked pretty long both times, so after checking out the menu and deciding there was nothing I couldn't miss I ate in the Oceanview. I ended up having dinner in the Oceanview about half the evenings, and one night I went to Bistro on Five, just because I didn't feel like getting dressed up and making conversation with others! Yes, I'm quite the introvert! When I did go the MDR I enjoyed meeting my tablemates and I didn't have an unpleasant experience with anyone there. The food and service were just fine every time as well. It really was just my introversion that kept me away!
I had lunch in the MDR once (requested a table to myself and read my Kindle during lunch that day) and it was also good. I never did get to the MDR for breakfast on this cruise--on vacation I'm just not an early bird unless I have to be up for a tour!
I ordered room service for breakfast 3 times, and while it was always on time, 2 of the 3 times they forgot one of the items in my order. That isn't something I've experienced before, so I probably was just unlucky this time. Knowing how hard the housekeeping staff works I didn't complain or request that they bring the item--it isn't as if I was starving at all! And breakfast on my giant balcony was a great experience even without my eggs, or without my smoothie.
The service at Bistro on Five was very attentive--there were only a couple other tables in use at the restaurant while I was there--and the food was well-prepared but I didn't find it that special. I may have just been jaded by that point in the cruise after so many days of eating so well!
Dinner at the Oceanview, as many have noted, has far fewer options than breakfast or lunch, but I could always find plenty that was appealing at any meal. I especially loved the bread puddings they had at lunch time and I enjoyed ice cream almost every day. I ate so well and so much that by the end of the cruise the only comfortable pants I had were my stretchy knit ones!
The last few days of the cruise, after I'd run out of the Diet Mountain Dew I brought, I purchased the premium non-alcoholic package. I really enjoyed having multiple nonfat double lattes every day, a nonfat mocha in the morning with some pastries, and a bottle of San Pellegrino at night after a virgin pina colada. I do think I got my money's worth there, and the Cafe al Bacio coffee drinks are far better than the "free" coffee, but if I have the package for the whole cruise (which I did on my previous cruise) I just have too many calories' worth of drinks each day! So in future I'll likely do what I did on this cruise and just purchase it for the last few days of the cruise if at all.
I enjoyed the show in the theater most nights--some more than others of course. I also appreciated all of the different musical options around the ship in the evenings (and often during the day too, since we had so many sea days.) This was my 2nd cruise with Perry Grant onboard, and while I attended his main theater show and one of his Sky Lounge performances, he's just not my thing. I enjoyed what I saw, but I'm afraid I'll never be one of the Perry groupies who were so numerous on both my recent cruises. Obviously he has a large and passionate fan base among Celebrity cruisers though! Sue, the CD, was on my last cruise as well and I do think she does a great job.
I really enjoyed a lot of the speakers' presentations as well. I wish I had attended the painting classes--they sounded really interesting but I just never got there. I also, somehow, never made it to one of the hot glass shows although I was hooked on those during my last S-class cruise. I also didn't make it to the Captain's Club Select events I'd signed up for--I actually went up for the cocktail party but when the elevator door opened and I saw the crowd, I changed my mind! Not worth waiting through that throng just for a free drink and a handshake with an officer! (I wanted to mention that I appreciated having the speakers' presentations available on the TV so I could watch the ones I had missed--great idea!)
Not too many details worth sharing about my trip. I just relaxed. Spent a bunch of time sitting on my balcony staring at the waves, a bunch of time reading or watching CNN (the Boston bombing happened while I was on the cruise and I got hooked on that coverage,) a whole bunch of time eating, got a lot of sleep. Listened to a bunch of speakers expound on various topics like the history of humanity's relationship with dogs, piracy, the lives of various classical composers, the early years of the Beatles from the point of view of a British photographer who spent lots of time with them, etc. Watched the different evening shows and some of the other music around the ship. Didn't go in the pools at all, and went in a hot tub only once.
I did miss the fabulous t-pool that the Connie has, but overall I like the S-Class ships better. Newer, a little fancier, and more options.
At the ports, I didn't even get off the ship in San Juan (wasn't feeling too great that day) and in the other two ports I just walked around and window-shopped.
So there you go! That's my vacation. Met some interesting people at dinner but mostly stayed on my own.
I had decided to spend a couple days in London after the cruise. I took a cab to the National Express depot, then waited for 2 hours for my bus (I was worried about how long disembarkation might take, but it went VERY fast since the customs official was onboard and did all the passport stuff on a sea day.) I had group 2 for disembarkation and there was NO line for the taxis and the luggage area was not crowded at all either. The bus was comfortable and by far the least expensive way to get to London from Southampton, but dragging my 2 suitcases, rolling laptop bag and purse through the London Underground and the streets of London to get to my hotel was AWFUL! Luckily there were some kind passers-by who helped me by carrying some of my bags up or down staircases for me. I don't know how people in wheelchairs or on crutches could navigate the Underground at all. (This was completely my fault and I have learned my lesson--next time I do this I will pack a lot less! I didn't wear a lot of the clothes I brought on the cruise anyhow!) In London I went to the British Museum on Friday and saw the special exhibition on Pompeii and Herculaneum... and then went to the V&A Museum on Saturday and wandered through all the Medieval and Renaissance galleries. I was going to do a London Walk on Saturday evening but my muscles told me to stay at my hotel, so I watched tv and surfed the net instead. I'm that boring! :)
My conclusion is that my future transatlantics will include ports on the other side of the Atlantic rather than on this side--they just interest me a lot more! I liked getting to England and being able to have a couple of non-jetlagged days there, but if I do that again I'll pack a lot lighter. And I should really think about shorter cruises so I don't gain quite so much weight per cruise! In general I think making the trip from east to west is better because you get a bunch of 25-hour days instead of a bunch of 23-hour days! Plus you get the nasty long flight out of the way at the start of the trip instead of having it at the end.
I'm very happy with Celebrity's "product" and will definitely sail with them as often as possible in future. The Eclipse, like her sisters, is just lovely and classy and very well-designed. I had a wonderful cruise. Less

Head of the Trent is an annual regatta held on the historic Trent Severn waterway in Peterborough, Ontario. Participants race along the scenic Trent Canal and Otonabee River in a 5km head style race. The regatta draws competitors primarily from Ontario, Quebec, and the northern United States, with international clubs also participating on occasion. It is regarded as one of the premier events for fall rowing in the region, and competition for entries has grown increasingly more vigorous in recent years. Over 2,000 athletes in over 400 boats race throughout the day making the regatta one of the largest single-day regattas in North America. The regatta coincides with Trent University's homecoming celebrations, and provides a unique atmosphere of spectators, festivities and activities. Crews are often cheered along by revelers at the finish line and some of the more narrow portions of the course. This year's regatta will be held on Saturday October 1th, 2016. The registration period for the regatta will run from Wednesday August 24th through to Friday September 16rd at noon.
The canal will open following passage of the last boat of each previous division through it. It will close twenty minutes after that point in time. Boats are encouraged to get on the water prior to the canal opening to enable quick movement through the canal as soon as it opens. Crews who do not proceed through the canal within the prescribed time period will be disqualified from their event.
Race Starts
Please remember that rowers are not permitted to race in back-to-back divisions (Rule 1a). Dock marshalls will be watching for this and disqualify boats that are in violation.
Athletes are reminded that while race officials will be in the canal, all safety marshalls on the course have the power to ensure safety and monitor adherence to the rules of racing. Marshalls may bring penalties or disqualifications as appropriate so athletes are reminded to treat all safety boats, race officials, and fellow competitors with courtesy and respect.
No oarsperson, whether university, club, high school, recreational or independent may compete in successive divisions. This rule does not apply to coxswains.
All universities will be guaranteed entry with their administration fee of one boat per event for all university events (with the exception of the new event described below). Second entries may be acquired only as numbers permit for the university novice eights, university heavy fours and university heavy double events. Any university that is not a member of the OUA will be able to register for university events according to the fee schedule assessed to clubs. Entries for non-OUA universities are guaranteed in the same manner as for OUA universities. Entries must be received by Friday, September 16th at noon. After this date entries will be accommodated as space allows on a first-come, first-served basis — there is no guarantee of entry acceptance after September 16th.
The Club Coxed Four Men and the Club Coxed Four Women events are restricted to club entries only. No university crews, whether representing a university or a club, are permitted to enter these two events. Universities are welcome to enter the other club events following the procedure detailed for club entries. J.V. events are restricted to one crew per university and to a maximum of 10 crews for each event.
All Boats which finish within 5% of the previous year's winning time will be guaranteed an entry into that event, as well as the winner of the over 60 sub-category of the Grand Master Singles. Guaranteed entries are not given in recreational events (see 4.b). The entries will be granted to the individual in single events and to the club, school or university in all other club events. Entries are only guaranteed provided they are received by Friday September 16th at noon. Individuals and crews that qualify for this entry guarantee are shown on the regatta's guaranteed entry list as posted on the website.
All non-guaranteed entries for club and high school crew events (i.e. 2X, 4+, 8) must be prioritized by the registering club during the registration process.
Eg. If a club wishes to enter 20 events and has 3 guaranteed entries from the previous year's performance, when submitting entries the remaining 17 entries must be ranked, by priority, 1-17. Entry to specific events will be a factor of both the priority given and the demand for entry into that particular event and division. Where several equal priority ranked entries result in an excessive number of entries in a specific event, a random draw will be used.
For club single events, entries will be requested on an individual basis. Individuals may enter themselves or clubs may enter on the rower's behalf. Clubs DO NOT include singles entries in their crew prioritization. Individuals are encouraged to identify their club affiliation, but may enter as "independent." Individuals who qualify for a guaranteed entry must register within the registration period to receive this guarantee. Individuals who are not guaranteed an entry will be selected by random draw.
Entries must be received by Friday, September 16th at noon. Confirmation of crews that have been accepted for each event will be posted on the Head of Trent website September 19th. Following this, should there be any Club or University events with available entry space, entries will be accepted on a first come first served basis until Friday, September 27th, at which point all entries will close.
For crew events, entries may only be made by clubs, universities or high schools recognized by the Head of the Trent. New clubs or universities interested in attending the regatta must express interest to the regatta committee to be added to the registration list. To request addition to the list please contact Andrew Joyce.
A signed Release, Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement form with original witnessed signatures must be provided for every participant in the regatta. Minors (age 17 and under) must use the Parental Consent Release, Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement form, requiring the signature of a parent or legal guardian. Any participant without a signed Release and Waiver form presented to the Head of Trent will not be permitted to race.
|Club Eights
|Coxed Fours
|Alumni Eights
|Scratch Fee
Entries from OUA universities are subject to a single administrative fee of $250.00 which covers one entry in each university event.
Entry fees will be required from all university crews entering club events and all non-OUA member university crews entering university or club events.
Entry fees are payable by credit card online. Single entries must be paid during the registration request process. In the event that we are unable to accomodate an entry, the full registration amount will be refunded to the credit card. Clubs and universities must pay the invoice before the day of the regatta in order to receive their regatta package. Any club, university or individual that scratches an event after entry confirmation on September 19th will be charged a flat scratch fee of $75.00 per entry. Boats which are not scratched until the day of the Regatta will be charged both the entry fee for that event plus the $75 scratch fee.
Bow numbers will not be issued until all applicable entry fees have been paid.
All entrants for the Masters events must be thirty (30) years of age or over at some time during 2016. Grand Masters entrants must be 50 years of age or over during 2016. No age category handicap system will be observed in the Masters events. The fastest Grand Masters (men and women) who are 60 years of age or older will also receive winning medals. Entrants wishing to compete for this award must declare they are age 60 or over in 2016 where specified on the entry form.
Recreational boats are defined as having a mix of male and female members, or to be of particularly young or mature age, or to consider themselves "recreational" by nature. This means competitive masters or university crews cannot enter this category. First place awards will only be given to crews considered by the judges to be recreational. In keeping with the spirit of recreational rowing, no crews will be guaranteed entry the following year. All recreational events will be run on the short Head of the Trent course, starting from the area referred to as "The Wall." Recreational crews will be directed to and marshaled from this area.
All athletes competing in the high school events must be currently enrolled in high school. High school athletes may compete representing their school or compete as a composite high school crew for their club.
All divisions will start at or close to the times noted. Canal closure preventing late crews from proceeding up the course will therefore be strictly enforced. Crews MUST race in their division to be eligible for an award. Crews will be provided with a bow number; a plastic "slot" will be required to secure the number to the boat.
The following clubs/universities are to use the Peterborough Rowing Club boathouse parking and docking facilities:
All others are to use the west bank of the river next to the University Athletic Complex. Boat trailers will be directed where to park in this area by Head of Trent staff. Cars with single sculls may park in any of the three locations.
Race instructions and bow numbers are to be picked up at the Regatta Headquarters located in the University Athletic Complex. Bow numbers will only be provided upon payment of appropriate fees.
Proceeding to the start, crews will be required to move through the canal narrows and down the course at a reasonable pace. Crews that fail to do so may be penalized race time by officials on the course.
Once through the canal narrows, boats proceeding to the start cannot turn around at any time until they have rowed past the start line. Boats failing to obey this rule will automatically be assessed a 20 second penalty against their race time.
During the race, normal head race rules will apply (with exception of the Canal Narrows area). Crews being overtaken are required to give way to passing boats. This may require altering course or line, provided this can be done in a safe manner while remaining on the race course. In situations where the crew being overtaken cannot alter course in a safe manner to accommodate the overtaking crew, the overtaking crew must adjust its course to allow safe passage of both boats.
Of particular note during the race, no passing is allowed in the Canal Narrows between the marker buoys. At the entry buoy, a regatta official will dictate the order of crews based both upon their position and relative speeds. The canal narrows will be monitored by regatta officials. Boats passing within this restricted area will automatically be disqualified. This rule CANNOT be waived at the discretion of competitors. Boats seen to be impeding the progress of other crews through poor steering or following too closely will be subject to penalty or disqualification at the discretion of the judges.
There will be a meeting for coaches and coxswains at 8:15am at the Trent University Athletic Complex on race day. Important information and last minute instructions will be announced at that time. A representative from each club/university must plan to attend.
After returning to the dock, all boats are required to return their bow number to the dockmaster before leaving the dock. Individuals or crews not returning their bow number will be charged $10.00 per number. This fee must be paid prior to receiving entry numbers for the subsequent year.
Crews may not cross the short line of buoys extending from the west side of the canal. Boats are asked to stage themselves towards the north in the launch area (in the direction of the university library) and proceed in a straight line into the canal when it opens for the division. Crews crossing the buoy line, thereby cutting the corner into the canal, will incur a 10 second time penalty. All crew members should be rowing when passing through the canal.
Any athlete, club or university that scratches an event after entry confirmation on September 19th will be charged a flat scratch fee of $75 per entry. Boats which are not scratched until the day of the Regatta will be charged both the entry fee for that event plus the $75 scratch fee.
Registration will run from August 24th at noon through to September 16th at noon.
All athletes must complete a release form and submit this prior to competing in the regatta. The forms must be submitted to the regatta registration desk located in the Trent Athletics Building. Forms can be obtained online and brought to the registration desk at the regatta. Alternatively, they may be picked up at the registration desk the day of the regatta and returned before you row.
Athletes applying for entry into single events will be required to complete an online release and will not need to submit the paper based disclaimer. The online release must be completed before single entry applications will be accepted.

Ask the Administrator: The Case of the Slippery Stipend
A nervous correspondent writes:
I am a regular reader and occasional pseudonymous poster, and am faced with an ethical dilemma. I wonder if you and/or your readers have a suggestion:
In my program, we ask students to do some work for credit. It's entirely independent of a class and they work one-on-one with a professor. At the end of term, we pay the professors a very small stipend for their contribution. We also ask for a copy of the work the student has done and (separate) signed statements from the students and the professors that verify the work was done. For the most part, the students are very honest and admit when they don't do the work. My problem is that I have a (small) number of professors who said the student did the work (and thus triggered the system by which they get the small stipend) but the student confirmed that they did not.
What's the best way to approach this? I am having a hard time trying to figure out just how to begin that particular email. I rely on professors' good will to continue working with students to ensure the life of the program, and also need the program to maintain a good reputation among students and professors on campus.
You've hit on the eternal dilemma of the honor system: not everybody behaves honorably all the time. But heavy-handed surveillance comes across as insulting to the folks who do behave honorably.
Luckily for you, you have at hand a reasonable excuse for knowing that you're being lied to. You mention both that you "ask for a copy of the work the student has done" and that some "student[s] confirmed that they did not." So if a professor puts in for a stipend, and you don't have the required work (and you do have a student admitting not having done it), I think you're on solid ground to start asking questions. I mean that literally: ask questions.
Readers of a certain age - - we know who we are, and there's no need to press the point, thank you very much – will remember Columbo. His shtick was playing dumb and asking series of questions that would inevitably trap the perpetrator. (Think of him as Socrates turned detective.) The virtue of this approach is that it's less directly confrontational. You might not get the professor's back up too early, and it allows for the possibility of someone admitting an honest mistake ("I got the names mixed up"). It's always possible that what looks like self-serving deception is simply sloppiness; by starting off with indirect questions ("Do you know why we never received a copy of the work? Do you have it?"), you leave open the door for more innocent explanations.
The bane of my existence is the miscreant-turned-amateur-epistemologist. "How did you know that? What right did you have to gather that information?" I don't walk the hallways with a clipboard and a checklist, noting who is in which classroom when, and I wouldn't want to work anywhere where someone did. But not doing that makes it harder to document the folks who don't show up for work, since it's easy for them to claim that they're being singled out.
In your case, you have easy answers for those questions.
I'm not sure I'd start with email, though. If you know the professors well enough, I'd probably start with a face-to-face meeting at which you ask them to explain an incongruity. Then follow up with something in writing – a memo or an email – summarizing what you remember the meeting to have covered. That way you'll still have a written record, but the somewhat less threatening style of initial approach might yield better results. You'll be able to read body language and vocal expression, for one thing, and it's harder to simply ignore someone right in front of you than to ignore an email. ("What email? I never got an email.") It will also reduce the likelihood of getting into one of those maddening series of escalating evasions with cc's to all and sundry.
What I wouldn't do is go in with guns a-blazin'. Sometimes incongruities are simply that. Leave open the possibility, at least initially, of an innocent explanation. Signals get crossed, misunderstandings happen, and we're all only human. If you ask for the professor's help in explaining an incongruity, rather than starting off with an accusation, you're likelier to hear the embarrassing-but-not-criminal explanation (clerical error, misplaced benefit of the doubt, etc.) that would otherwise get hidden under a brittle and bitter defensiveness.
(Besides, unless he's truly sociopathic, a professor who dodges a bullet with some flimsy-but-not-disprovable cover story once will probably toe the line a lot more closely after that. In the long run, you get most of what you want, even if you have to pretend credulity in the short run. I've had to settle for that more than once.)
And yes, some people are ethically challenged. But it's probably best to save that as the 'residual' explanation, to be used only when all else fails.
Good luck. Even handled perfectly, this won't be easy.
Wise and worldly readers – what would you suggest?
Have a question? Ask the Administrator at deandad (at) gmail (dot) com.
I think in many cases, people who try to game a system, don't always fully know how that system works or where the checks and balances are. They think they're getting away with something, but are actually quite exposed.
Are the professors unaware that a copy of the student's work will be requested, let alone that a signed confirmation from the student attesting to this is required? If unaware, then they probably figure they're getting over. If not, then that's just ballsy. Furthermore, if the stipend is not that much, they probably figure "What's the harm? They'll never miss it."
Also, I agree with taking the Columbo {wink} apporach. I have found that when you "eyeball" someone in person, it is less easy for them to bluster, embellish, be evasive, or prevaricate as they might do in an email. You will probably nip more nonsense in the bud speaking to them in person and using the soft touch.
Sounds sensible; you must have read this book.
You may also have some who have been "supervising" students one-on-one all this time without ever actually interacting with them, and this is the first time they've had a student who didn't finish the work, which presents a somewhat different problem.
I'd go in expecting human error or laziness rather than shadiness -- but of course be ready for the shadiness.
(And yeah, sometimes it's worth accepting not challenging the explanation that's obviously fake, but quietly dropping that person in the future.)
In this case, perhaps the professor is simply confused about what the terms for the stipend are. Of course, it is also possible that the professor is unaware of how little the student did; while this may be negligent, it is not necessary fraudulent, depending on the policy.
For example, there could be a general announcement that student completion rates are lower than desired and, to address this, the "authorities" will henceforth be requiring evidence of student completion as a condition of stipend payout. This has no implied presumption of guilt or innocence -- only a new mechanism to help students. It doesn't really matter if that was the rule before; this will serve notice that enforcement, in pursuit of the greater good, will tighten.
In that case, faculty who feel they should receive a stipend even for incomplete student work can raise that concern in that context, and that concern could be discussed on its merits.
If a prof is instructing the student, giving him/her lab time, etc., but the student flakes out at the end of the semester and doesn't finish the report, the prof basically just got stiffed. I doubt I'd accept independent-study students under those conditions.
Either the student has completed and submitted this work to the professor to turn over to the Dept. for verification or they haven't. In this case the student admits that they did not complete the work, however it appears that the instructor has said that they did.
That is a discrepancy that needs to be cleared up, and then perhaps clarification for the future as to what is required in order to earn the stipend.
In the program I completed, instructors serving as thesis advisors were provided written terms that they had to sign before they would be officially approved to assist a student. These terms spelled out very clearly what was expected, and that if they did not comply they risked forfeiting the compensation.
Embarrassingly, that interpretation didn't occur to me. It sounds plausible, and may very well be right. If you went in with guns a-blazin' and this turned out to be the answer, you'd wind up as embarrassed as I am.
Sherman -- yup, I've read that. Good catch.
Speaking purely from a personal standpoint, if you're going to pay high school teachers bonuses for having bright students, then professors should get the same "luck of the draw" consideration :-/
Personally I'm opposed to this style of incentive pay. I have one young lad I've brought up from a 40% to a 60% in less than half the course — that took a lot more work then the boy who always scores 99%, but I'd be rewarded for the luck of having the latter and not for the work I put into the former.
If the stipend is being paid only for successful completion of work, and the professors in question dod perform their side of the bargain (spent time and effort) they might well feel that they earned the money — that they successfully completed the work they were being paid for (mentoring, proofreading, lab time, etc.), and so honestly stated that the work (their work) was completed.

For the second year in a row, Subway in NYA was chosen out of out 230 stores for a customer service award.
Rachel Scherber, operations administrator for the Subways in Norwood Young America, Waconia and Watertown as well as new Franchisee of Lakeside Subway in Waconia credited the staff in getting the award, calling it a team effort.
"It doesn't mean the store has a good franchisee, manager or staff; it means they're all good," said Scherber. "In my opinion, of the awards given, this is the most rewarding one to get. It signifies that everyone is working together and customers are getting the best of everyone."
She added that is extremely rare for a Subway to receive the award two years in a row, and that the presenter of the award said that "walking into this store is like walking into Cheers."
Explaining the process, Scherber said field consultants nominate different stores and then the winner is chosen by the local development agent's office. Some of the things taken into account for nomination are number of corporate complaints, customer survey scores, feel of the restaurant while the field consultant is conducting his inspection and number of customer compliments.
Scherber said she is humbled to work with the staff at Subway who make the difference, including Store Manager Teresa Siewert who has been on board since shortly after the restaurant opened in October 1999.
"She has seen that store grow tremendously over her time with us," said Scherber. "She is dedicated to her staff and store and it shows. Teresa is always making sure everything is working properly, even down to every light bulb being lit. She takes the time to make sure each customer's experience will be the best…there is so much more to managing a Subway than one would think."
Other Subways employees make a difference too.
"The sandwich artists are also second to none; many of them of worked for us for many years," said Scherber. "Each of them are vital to the customer experience and they are another major reason this Subway is so successful."
In addition to crediting the staff, Scherber thanked customers as well.
"The NYA Subway exists in a community where small town still lives," she said. "Thank you to our customers. Without them we wouldn't have jobs. We look forward to serving the community and surrounding areas for a very long time."
NYA Subway wins service award
For the second year in a row, Subway in NYA was chosen out of out 230 stores for a customer service award.

Spicy Avocado Soup
Be the first to review
READY IN: 2hrs
Recipe by Matt Handley
This spicy avocado soup blends the spiciness of Habañero pepper, Wasabi, and Horseradish, with the rich, creamy texture of Avocado. The resulting color and texture is a rich green soup with a bold, spicy flavor.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 avocados
- 1 onion
- 1 habanero pepper
- 5 ounces flounder fillets
- 1⁄2 cup pinto beans
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- 2 tablespoons wasabi mustard
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- First, prepare the Pinto beans according to the directions on the packaging. This may require an overnight soak. When cooking the beans, only cook them about halfway. You can prepare the stock as they cook.
- Next, prepare the stock: Fill a large pot with 6 cups of water, and bring to a low boil. Coarsely chop Onion, and add to pot. Cut up 1 avocado into large pieces and add to pot. Cut the top off of the Habañero pepper, and add to pot. Break flounder fillet into small pieces, and add to pot. Whisk 1 tablespoons of Wasabi mustard into the pot. Add 1 tablespoons of Horseradish to pot. Finally, add the partially cooked pinto beans to the pot. Now, let the whole mixture simmer for about 1 hour.
- While the stock simmers, you can prepare the base: Cut up the 2 remaining avocados and place in a blender. Add another 1 tablespoons of Wasabi mustard to the blender, along with 1/4 cup of water. Scoop out the other avocado and the Habañero pepper from the stock pot, and add to the blender. Blend these ingredients until they are fully puréed. You may need to add another 1/4 cup of water.
- Now, strain the stock through a colander to remove the onion, fish pieces, and beans, but KEEP the strained liquid. That is your stock. You can discard the onions, fish, and beans, or use them in another dish. I added them to some whole grain rice for a healthy, fiber-rich side dish.
- Pour the strained stock back into the large pot. Put it on medium-low heat, and gradually whisk in the avocado purée, until fully blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Tip: If the soup is too thin, let it simmer for a while and it will reduce and get thicker. If the soup is too thick, you can add a bit of water.

PFC William Clayton Clark
Jun. 29, 1916
Garvin County
Oklahoma, USA
Nov. 22, 1990
Linn County
Oregon, USA
That's my Dad on the left. The picture was taken with a buddy of his when they came home from WWII. If anyone knows who this gentleman is, please contact me.
After 23 years it is still painful to talk about my Father's death. He was the greatest man I have ever known. He was my best friend. We shared secrets and many laughs. I am 54 and have never known such a good friend as my Dad.
He was born in Lindsay Oklahoma on June 29th 1916 to Andrew and Nannie Clark. He was raised with Sheb Wooley that was years younger. Sheb wrote the song "The Purple People Eater" and would remain my Dads good friend for a lifetime. When we moved to Alaska Sheb would come stay with us and created the character of "Ben Colder". When he would visit, he always included us in his shows.
When my Dad was 12, during the dustbowl in Oklahoma, his family traveled west to the orange groves of southern California. He was the oldest of 3 brothers. Delbert, the baby and
the middle child. Lloyd and my Dad looked so much alike. (In his later years he was visiting his Brother Lloyd. A neighbor came over and was startled. "Lloyd, I just saw you leaving the house!" "No, that's my Brother Bill".) Since times were hard, Dad dropped out of school in 5th grade to help support the family.
PFC William Clayton Clark was one of the few survivors that made it off the island of Iwo Jima after the first attack. He was knocked out and pulled out from the dead that covered him. I only learned this at the gathering after his funeral. My Family told me he suffered from survivors guilt. He would never speak of the war or the battles he went through.
All 3 boys enlisted in the war of WWII. They were all stationed in separate parts of the world. By coincidence, they were all discharged the same week. Grandma removed the star from her window that showed family members were away at war. "Pop" was quietly thrilled his boys were all home, safe and sound. So one day, the first week they came home, the brothers painted "Pops" car pink! Grandpa came home from work, saw his car, and in his Oklahoma drawl, calmly asked, "Now what ja'all go and do that for?" He was just glad to have all his boys home safe and sound. They could have done anything at that point and got away with it!
About the same time, my Dad went to a USO dance. This is a story my Aunt told me over and over. He came home from the dance and told a story of meeting a gorgeous red head. She danced like an angel and Dad was walking on air. 2 weeks later he married her.
They moved to Sacramento. My Mom worked in an office building in Sacramento while Dad built homes. One day, the Postman came in and was ashen white. She asked, "Vic, what's wrong"? He replied, how do you go about adopting a baby out?! My Mom replied, "We would love to adopt the baby". That's when I came into existence. They always told me I was special since they had "chosen" me. When other kids would tease me about being adopted, I would tell them, "My Parents chose me, your Parents got stuck with you!" Mom and Dad also encouraged me to look for my biological family and last year I found them.
As soon as I was adopted, my Parents left California and moved to ALASKA! Dad was stationed at Elmendorf Air Force Base in the Civil Service. In his spare time, he built our house as well as other homes. We lived in Anchorage for 14 years. My Dad taught me how to fish and goldpan. We went camping all summer long. Everyday was an adventure! I was the light of his life and adored him. I've included a picture of my Dad and I at Portage Glacier outside of Anchorage. Dad also taught me how to play poker at the early age of 4. We kept a jar of pennies and were always playing.
In 1974 Dad retired and we moved to Tangent Oregon. I always had a passion for horses and animals so my Parents bought a small farm where I could enjoy these passions. We had horses, cows, dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, and every other animal you can think of. The farm came with an antique Allis Chalmers tractor. Dad would plant our garden every year plowing the ground with the old tractor. My Dad also taught me woodworking which is one of my passions that I make money at today.
I married at 19. Though the marriage did not work out, it produced a Son. Dad fell in love with this beautiful little boy. Mom and Dad would watch him when I went to the local college for my classes. After I finished my schooling, I couldn't get a job. The economy had bottomed out in Oregon. Our next door neighbors suggested that I move to Las Vegas where they had come from. Though I couldn't fathom leaving my Son, I left to seek employment. I did quite well, and my Son did also being raised on the farm. I missed my family terribly and they would visit me often in Las Vegas. My Son eventually came out to Las Vegas and resides there to this day.
On November 22, 1990, Thanksgiving morning, my boss called me into his office. My Mom had called him. After he had me sit down, he told me, "You're Dad had a massive heart attack, and passed away this morning." I screamed and cried. My Mom had made the right decision. She knew I couldn't handle this alone. I immediately flew home and tearfully helped plan his funeral. The holiday season has never been the same.
I was not the only one that couldn't handle the news. Mom was so angry about my Dads passing. Her Husband of 47 years. We laugh about it now, but Dad's favorite holiday was Thanksgiving. He loved the first big feast of the season!! Mom had cooked all night long to please my Dad. She was angry that he couldn't have waited until after he ate to pass away!
My Dad was a friend to many, (I wish I knew who this was in the picture with my Dad), especially the men he fought along side with in WWII.
Dad had a special way of walking onto a car lot and making a deal. His favorite car was the 60's mustang. He bought 5. A 64, 65, 67, and 68. He bought me a 69 candy apple red mustang when I got my drivers license. You can see in one of the photo's the first brand spanking new Mustang my Dad bought in one of the photo's with the 4 of us. In the picture, he looks like he's feeling pretty cool!
Dad taught me so much. He taught me how to laugh, love, and especially, how to fish! He taught me many other things also that make up who I am today. It's been 18 years, but I can't stop thinking about my Dad. I still cry and dream about him. He was my best friend ever. He comes to me in dreams to let me know he's O.K. He has left me little gifts which I keep in a "treasure chest". The last gift was a dozen yellow roses where I park my truck when it was in the shop. I was telling my Husband how much I miss my Dad and stories of him the night before. The next morning when I was leaving the house, I discovered the roses. This Man was one in a million. He was the first to go out of his Brothers though they have all passed away now. Heaven is so much richer. I miss my Daddy and look forward to seeing him again.
William Clayton Clark was one of God's best creations. I Thank God that he is my Dad. That is the best gift God ever gave me. My Dad. The Love of my life.

Foolproof Ways to Buy Excellent LPs
What do I mean by excellent? How can anything be foolproof? And why would anyone care about LPs in the 21st Century? When I say an LP is excellent, I mean that it has a high signal-to-noise ratio when played back on a system maximized for CDs. No matter what kind of music you listen to, the LP must be quiet and undistorted. "Excellent" means top-notch listenability on a modern audio system. "Foolproof" means that the record has functionally perfect surfaces. These are a real challenge, but through much experience and great expense, I have found three ways to guarantee it:
All other acquisitions must be played before buying if you want results like the ones described above, and that's largely impossible unless you are a record dealer.
As for why anyone should care about LPs in the 21st Century, it is because vinyl is the only non-compressed music medium for home playback. Compression is a killer of definition and pitch. LPs are capable of making music with the warmth and life of the original. Music is always changing in note and pitch. Its constant reforming of notes makes the LP, a medium that has unlimited sampling, the best choice for most realistic home reproduction. It makes sense to be a collector of LPs in the 21st Century. However, for best sound and most satisfactory listening in the years ahead, you must be selective. If you want complete satisfaction for every dollar you invest, you must follow the three rules. You don't have to. You can buy cheap and pray, hoping to upgrade your LPs over time when you get lucky. You can also, for big bucks, buy unsealed, supposedly top-shelf vinyl and pray some more. I've done both, and both yield disappointing results.
A record-cleaning machine like a VPI 16.5 is a minimum investment for the LP hobby. Without a machine, you can forget about used LP acquisition. Cleaning machines even improve the midrange and signal-to-noise ratio of new vinyl, so are worth owning regardless. However, you can clean damaged or worn LPs 'til the cows come home and still be disappointed when trying to enjoy the music. Recently, I ignored my own rules and purchased five clean, original Mercuries, the 9-LP Von Karajan 1963 Beethoven cycle on DG Tulip label, and the 9-LP Solti 1973-75 Beethoven cycle on London FFRR, 23 records in all, for $800 plus tax. I closely examined the LPs by eye. The artwork and inside literature were beautiful. The LPs looked nearly unplayed by all the usual signs—label scratches, etc. All were cleaned on a VPI 16.5 with the latest and best L'Art du Son record cleaning liquid from Germany. The results are as follows:
Sibelius, Symphony 2, Paray (Mercury SR90204). Moderate to high tick and pop distortion. The right channel has an Indy 500 race encoded in it due to some gross playback once upon a time. $100.
Rimsky-Korsakov, Sheherazade, Dorati (Mercury SR90195). Moderate tick and pop distortion, not gross but distracting. Some inner groove crunching. $100.
Mozart, Symphony 41, Schmidt-Isserstedt (Mercury SR90184). Low to moderate surface noise with some occasional crunching and thumping. Some high frequency loss due to normal wear. Not as new as it looks, but serviceable. $100.
Dvorak, Cello Concerto, Dorati (Mercury SR90303). Constant moderate to high surface noise, though ticks and pops are low. Some crunching on crescendoes. $100.
Moussorgsky, Pictures at an Exhibition, Dorati (Mercury SR90217). Cover in worst shape but record in best shape. Low but constant surface noise. Inner grooves distort significantly. Occasional thumping. $100.
DG Beethoven set. Quiet as a mouse. Very low constant noise with some ticking. A few scratches, but most do not intrude. Only the 5th and 7th are noisier than I'd really like, but acceptable. $200.
London Beethoven set. As clean as the DG and sounds better. The 5th is a bit noisier than the others, but well taken care of. I like it. $100.
So even having the eye of an audiophile semi-expert can't save me from buying losers. I recently came across sealed Mercury's at $75-100 each, and they were terrific and clean. Box sets are often unplayed or not played in their entirety, so they may be worth buying. Even shredded boxes may contain gold inside. The biggest problem is that the LPs containing the most sought-after music usually have the most damage.
The major problems in collecting vintage vinyl are twofold—vintage records are not getting any younger and hi-fi systems are improving dramatically. One used record store I visited used Bozaks with the tweeters disconnected for auditioning. The amps were very old Mac MC240s. Every record I tried had almost no surface noise. Miracle system you say, horseshit says I. The only way to be sure is to buy sealed and do not play them until you are safely home.
I've tried the $3 thrift stores. They generally suck. The measure of success is whether a track or two is playable. Sure, lightning strikes, but not often enough. Some friends recently bought a ton of used pop and jazz vinyl that tended to be better than their classical counterparts. This may have something to do with the recorded velocities of horns versus violins, electric guitars versus acoustic guitars—you tell me. None of these records were without ticks and crunch, but it was less noticeable.
Our systems are improving quickly. Phono stages and cartridges are still improving—shockingly so, I think. Listen to the new E.A.R. 324 or Art Reference phono stages. They are more detailed, revealing, and commandingly musical than $6000 units just five years ago. Cartridges are outperforming their predecessors by wide margins, tracking (and revealing distortion) better than ever. The mantra must be: Sealed! Sealed! Sealed! Who knows, this may have the added effect of bringing down used LP prices. It will certainly encourage the reissuers to reproduce more great vintage recordings, done right this time!
I am an audiophile and a music lover, not an archeologist. Let other guys gather every LP around until their shelves runneth over. Not me. I'm in it to hear the notes just as clearly and musically as when the LPs were produced, maybe even better! I wish there were cheap shortcuts to this hobby, but they remain elusive. You pay less, you get less. There's no free lunch—just more noise and less music. If this talks you out of the search for all the used vinyl in the universe, you are probably better off. Buy the reissue LP goodies. They're really superior, and may be the truly authentic rarities of the future. I know one thing: They are our only real hopes from now on.

This chapter describes how to install and configure the Cisco MDS DMM software. The required tasks are described in the following sections:
•Installing Cisco MDS DMM Software
•DMM Management Installation and Configuration Tools
The Cisco MDS DMM feature runs on the Storage Service Module (SSM) in a MDS 9000 series switch.
The DMM software package is included in the SSI image as a part of the SAN-OS or NX-OS.
For information on how to install the SSM image, refer to Cisco MDS 9000 Family Storage Services Module Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.
You can use the Cisco MDS DMM software without a license for a period of 120 days.
To purchase a license for DMM, use one of the following product identifiers for the MDS 9500 family:
•M95DMMS1K9 perpetual license for one SSM.
•M95DMMTS1K9 time-based license (one SSM for 180 days).
Use one of the following product identifiers for the MDS 9200 family:
•M92DMMS1K9 perpetual license for one SSM.
•M92DMMTS1K9 time-based license (one SSM for 180 days).
You may purchase a DMM license for an SSM in a fabric that does not have a Fabric Manager license. In this configuration, you can open multiple fabrics in Fabric Manager and use the DMM functionality. Full Fabric Manager functionality is not available. For example, performance manager, desktop client remote login, and web client fabric reporting are not available without an Fabric Manager license.
For more information about installing or upgrading software licenses, refer to Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Licensing Guide.
Note If the DMM license for an SSM expires, all scheduled and in-progress jobs will continue to execute. You cannot create new jobs with an expired license.
Cisco MDS DMM supports a CLI tool and a GUI tool for configuring and managing data migrations. The tools are described in these sections:
The Cisco MDS DMM feature uses the CLI on the MDS switch and on the SSM.
No DMM-specific tasks are required to install or configure the CLI. For additional information about the CLI, refer to "Related Documentation" section on page -x.
The Cisco MDS 9000 Fabric Manager, a Java-based GUI, manages Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches using SNMP. The GUI for the Cisco MDS DMM is integrated into Fabric Manager.
To use the DMM GUI, complete the following tasks:
•Configuring SSH on the Switch
The DMM GUI software is bundled into the Fabric Manager software package.
For information about installing Fabric Manager software, refer to the Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
The DMM GUI communicates with the SSM using a secure shell protocol (SSH) connection. Before using DMM, you need to enable SSH on the switch that hosts the SSM.
For information about configuring SSH, see the SSH chapter of the Cisco Fabric Manager Security Configuration Guide and the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Security Configuration Guide.
SSMs and the supervisor module in an MDS switch communicate over VSAN 1 using IP. You need to configure an IP subnetwork for VSAN 1 on the MDS switch.
SSMs communicate with their peer SSMs using the management IP network (See Figure 2-1). Each DMM-enabled SSM on the management IP network must have a unique subnetwork address configured for VSAN 1.
Configuring IP over Fibre Channel (IPFC) for an SSM consists of the following tasks:
•Create the VSAN 1 interface and configure an IP address for this interface.
The IP subnet can use a private address space because these addresses will not be advertised. As noted, the subnet number needs to be unique for each SSM-enabled MDS switch that is connected to the same management IP subnetwork.
•Create a CPP interface (with an IP address) on each SSM on the switch.
CPP IP addresses needs to be in the same subnet as the VSAN 1 interface.
•Configure zoning.
The CPP interfaces and the VSAN 1 interface need to be zoned together.
•Enable IPv4 routing.
•Configure the default gateway for each CPP interface.
Configure the default-gateway for the CPP interface to point to the VSAN 1 IP address, so that all IP traffic from the CPP interface is routed to the management interface.
•Configure static routes as required to access the peer SSMs.
Configure static routes in the switch to each SSM-enabled peer switch to enable routing of packets between peer SSMs.
Figure 2-1 IP Configuration
The following example is based on the configuration and subnetwork numbers shown in Figure 2-1. The example shows the configuration for MDS switch 1:
•Create VSAN 1 and configure it with an IP address:
MDS-1# configure terminal
MDS-1(config)# interface vsan 1
MDS-1(config-if)# ip address 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.0
MDS-1(config-if)# no shutdown
MDS-1(config-if)# exit
•Create the CPP IPFC interface, and configure an IP address:
MDS-1(config)# interface cpp 8/1/1
MDS-1(config-if)# ip address 10.10.1.6 255.255.255.0
MDS-1(config-if)# no shutdown
MDS-1(config-if)# exit
•Configure a new zone to include the pWWN of the CPP interface on the SSM and the VSAN 1 interface on the supervisor:
MDS-1(config)# zone name DMM_IP_MGMT vsan 1
MDS-1(config-zone)# member pwwn 22:00:00:20:37:39:15:09
MDS-1(config-zone)# member pwwn 21:00:00:e0:8b:05:76:28
MDS-1(config-zone)# exit
The zone created for the IPFC interfaces must be added to the existing zone set in VSAN 1 and the zone set must be re-activated to include the new zone. If a zone set does not exist in VSAN 1, create a zone set. Add the zone to the zone set and activate the zone set.
For additional information about creating and activating zone set, refer to the Cisco Fabric Manager Security Configuration Guide and the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Security Configuration Guide.
•Enable IPv4 routing:
MDS-1(config)# ip routing
•Configure the default gateway for the SSMs:
MDS-1(config)# ip default-gateway 10.10.1.1 interface cpp 8/1/1
•Configure static route to access the peer SSMs:
MDS-1(config)# ip route 10.10.2.0 255.255.255.0 172.22.43.94
You can also create a host specific route to point to the ipfc interface on the peer:
ip route 10.10.2.1 255.255.255.255 172.22.43.94
The following example shows the configuration for MDS switch 2 (see Figure 2-1):
MDS-2# configure terminal
MDS-2(config)# interface vsan 1
MDS-2(config-if)# ip address 10.10.2.1 255.255.255.0
MDS-2(config-if)# no shutdown
MDS-2(config-if)# exit
MDS-2(config)# interface cpp 8/1/1
MDS-2(config-if)# ip address 10.10.2.7 255.255.255.0
MDS-2(config-if)# no shutdown
MDS-2(config-if)# exit
MDS-2(config)# zone name DMM_IP_MGMT vsan 1
MDS-2(config-zone)# member pwwn 22:00:00:20:25:19:25:11
MDS-2(config-zone)# member pwwn 21:00:00:c0:7d:76:04:15
MDS-2(config-zone)# exit
MDS-2(config)# ip routing
MDS-2(config)# ip default-gateway 10.10.2.1 interface cpp 8/1/1
MDS-2(config)# ip route 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.0 172.22.43.95
For additional information about configuring IPFC, refer to the Cisco Fabric Manager IP Services Configuration Guide and the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS IP Services Configuration Guide.
You can use the CLI or the Fabric Manager GUI to enable the DMM feature. The two methods are described in the following sections:
•Enabling DMM with Fabric Manager
To enable DMM on an SSM and to provision ports to use the DMM feature, follow these steps:
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# ssm enable feature dmm module slot
Enables DMM on the SSM module in the specified slot.
switch(config)# no ssm enable feature dmm module slot
Disables DMM on the SSM module in the specified slot.
Step 3
switch(config)# ssm enable feature dmm interface slot/port - port
Enables DMM for the interface in the specified slot and port range.
To enable DMM for an SSM and MSM using Fabric Manager, and to provision ports to use the DMM service, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand End Devices and then double-click the Intelligent Features folder in the Physical Attributes pane.
Choose either SSM or MSM to provision DMM.
a. For SSM, click the SSM tab.
You see the set of configured services in the Information pane as shown in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2 SSM Tab
b. For MSM, click the MSM tab.
You see the set of configured services in the Information pane as shown in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3 MSM Tab
Step 2 Click the Create Row icon (third button in the tool bar, directly above the SSM or the MSM tab).
You see the Create SSM dialog box shown in Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4 Create SSM Dialog Box
Step 3 Select the switch and SSM module where you want to enable DMM.
Step 4 The Use All Ports on Module check box is checked by default. DMM does not support provisioning a subset of the ports on the card to use this service.
Step 5 From the feature drop-down list, select dmm.
Step 6 Click Create to enable the DMM service.
When a migration job is created, you can configure the migration rate as fast, medium, or slow. Use the CLI or the Fabric Manager GUI to configure the values for these rates, as described in the following sections:
•Configuring Migration Rate Using the CLI
•Configuring Migration Rate Using Fabric Manager
To configure the values associated with the fast, medium, and slow migration rates, follow this step:
Step 1
switch# config t
Enters the configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# dmm module module-id rate_of_migration fast rate medium rate slow rate
Sets the migration rate for the specified SSM module. The migration rate has a range of 1 to 200 and the units are megabytes per second (MB/s).
The default values for migration rate are as follows:
•Slow: 10 MB/s
•Medium: 25 MB/s
•Fast: 60 MB/s
The following example sets the fast migration rate to 100 MB/s for the SSM in slot 4:
MDS-1(config)# dmm module 4 rate_of_migration fast 100 medium 25 slow 10
To configure the values to associate with the fast, medium, and slow migration rates, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand End Devices and then double-click the Intelligent Features folder in the Physical Attributes pane.
You see the SSM services in the Information pane.
Step 2 Click the DMM Rate tab.
You see the set of configured services in the Information pane as shown in Figure 2-5.
Figure 2-5 Configuring Migration Rate
Step 3 Click in the table cell that you are configuring (Fast, Medium, or Slow).
Step 4 Enter the new value for the migration rate. The units are MB/s.
Step 5 Click the Save button to save the configuration values.
Note While configuring DMM with two hosts accessing the same storage port on a per job basis, the rate limit that gets applied will be the lower configured rate as the configured rate is the total bandwidth per existing storage port and not per job. Hosts with active sessions will have this bandwidth shared between them.

A variety of energy stocks are facing a new threat, and for once, we're not talking about increasing regulation or potential fracking bans.
We're talking about the rise of activist investors.
According to ratings agency Moody's, the energy sector will continue to be a hotbed of activist activity going forward, and the number of targets in the sector could intensify this year.
Activist investors and hedge funds — like Carl Icahn or Elliott Management — have set their sights on several "bloated" energy firms that need … er, a slight push in the right direction. As they see it, many independent energy stocks have simply not delivered on their promises, debt levels are too high and production has been too low. The nagging result, of course, has been sagging share prices.
But by implementing new cost-controls and execution methods, as well as spinning off noncore assets, these activist investors hope to right the ship at several of these energy stocks. (Or at least make a quick buck via hefty special dividends.)
While that does reek of short-term thinking, there's no denying that, on occasion, meddling by activist investors does help the individual investor. So, here are four energy stocks to keep an eye on, as they're either already or soon to become targets for activists:

An online rant taking aim at "shirtless men" looking for fights at a music festival has gained support from more than 45,000 people.
Maroochydore's Joel Bevilacqua took to Facebook on Saturday to share his frustration after a fight broke out at the Stereosonic electronic music festival in Sydney.
The 20-year-old journalism student hit out at men who took any opportunity to take their shirts off to "show off" their muscles.
He also took fire at those who attended festivals simply looking for a fight as he was sick of seeing pointless violence in the community.
When the Sunshine Coast Daily shared Mr Bevilacqua's rant online readers jumped to support it.

Israeli authorities responded to PCHR demand
Ref: 12/2014
Date: 12 February 2014
Time: 09:00 GMT
Concerning "Pillar of Defense" Victims, For the First Time Israeli Committee Headed by General Doron Almog Initiates Investigation in a Case Followed-up by PCHR
For the first time concerning operation "Pillar of Defense" victims, the Israeli authorities responded to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights' (PCHR) demand and initiated an investigation in the case of targeting the photography section of al-Quds satellite channel. The Israeli authorities formed an investigation committee headed by Israeli General Doron Almog and the legal advisor of the Israeli Ministry of Defense. On 10 February 2014, PCHR's lawyers received a request from the liaison office at Beit Hanoun (Erez) crossing that the witnesses – eight staff members from the photography section – should testify before the committee.
On 11 February 2014, only six victims: Darweesh Bolbol, director of photography section; photographer Mohammed al-Akhras; photographer Khader al-Zahhar; assistant photographer Omar al-Efranji; sound technician Hussein al-Madhoun and driver Hazem al-Da'our headed to Beit Hanoun crossing to testify. Lawyers Mohammed al-Alami and Mohammed Bseiso from PCHR accompanied the victims.
The case relates to the attack that took place on 18 November 2012, when Israeli warplanes fired a number of missiles at al-Quds channel's photography section in a building in Gaza City. As a result of the attack, the section was partially damaged while eight staff members inside sustained various wounds.
The eight victims empowered PCHR to follow up the case. On 08 January 2013, PCHR filed a complaint to the Israeli Military Prosecutor of Operational Affairs calling for initiating a criminal investigation in the attack. On 12 May 2013, PCHR received a positive reply from the Military Prosecutor that an investigation in the attack would take place and that a committee headed by a senior officer would be formed for that purpose.
It should be noted that Israeli forces launched a military offensive on the Gaza Strip (14-21 November 2012) codenamed operation "Pillar of Defense", during which hundreds of victims were killed or wounded.
From the very beginning, PCHR documented the Israeli violations and crimes against Palestinian civilians, built 79 legal files and contacted the Israeli Military Prosecutor. PCHR received 24 negative replies and 2 replies on initiating investigations in 2 incidents related to targeting journalists, including journalists working at al-Quds satellite channel.

Obama If Trayvon
March 23, 2012 by staff
Obama If Trayvon, President Barack Obama spoke in unusually personal terms Friday about the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager in Florida, a case that has roiled civil rights activists and a suburban Orlando community. "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," Obama said, vowing to "get to the bottom of what happened."
Obama expressed sympathy for the parents of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was shot on Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., a suburb of Orlando, by a neighborhood watch volunteer who said he was acting in self-defense.
"I can only imagine what these parents are going through, and when I think about this boy, I think about my own kids," Obama said, calling the case a "tragedy."

text: Saw this car for sale - 2.0T Quattro S-Line - but I'm not sure about the rear bumper. Looks a bit different from the usual S-Line bumper or is it just me....? Also, anyone know the paint code for Misano red (and where to find the code on the car - I want to check if this is that colour). Cheers. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif
