This invention relates to systems for lashing or affixing components to a piece of material such as a belt or an interior or exterior wall of a backpack or a piece of luggage, and in particular to improved lashing system for lashing any of a plurality of types of components to a piece of material with releasable connectors.
A growing number of persons in this country and others are engaged in outdoor recreational pursuits. These includes hikers, runners, cyclists, skiers, climber, fishermen, hunters and the like. One characteristic common to many of the participants of these various activities is the need to carry equipment or supplies for use during the activity. This equipment or supplies may includes a squeeze bottle for water or other fluid for the participant, a pouch for carrying sunglasses or other types of eyeglasses, a pouch for a camera or lens, a pouch for carrying ammunition, a pouch for carrying fishing supplies and bait and the like. With each of these pieces of equipment or supplies, it is desirable to have them readily accessible to the participant.
Pockets defined in clothing worn by the participant have long served this need. However, as clothing for each of these outdoor activities has become more specialized, pockets have been eliminated in many instances. Typically, the participant in one of these outdoor activities carries a backpack with shoulder straps, a fannypack, a lumbar pack, or some other type of equipment bag. Unfortunately, by carrying equipment and supplies within such packs and bags, the participant must usually take the bag or pack off and unzip a pocket to gain access to the equipment. This is undesirable since the participant may desire quick and ready access to the equipment such as a waterbottle for use during the activity.
For this reason, specialized and dedicated pockets for equipment such as waterbottles have been designed for the external surfaces of backpacks, fannypacks, lumbar packs, and waistbelts. Alternatively, releasable pile and loop connectors have been utilized on waistbelts with the matching portion of the releasable connector on the piece of equipment such as a waterbottle. However, excess weight or other forces may cause the piece of equipment to become unintentionally detached from the waistbelt. Unfortunately, none of the approaches described above offer the flexibility to securely store any of several different components of equipment on a given location of an exterior surface of a belt, backpack or lumbar pack.
A somewhat related problem exists in the interior of backpacks, travel bags and luggage. Within such bags, it is often desirable to attach smaller containers or interior wails to the interior surfaces of the bag. Such arrangements are convenient to organize the interior of a bag and/or to segregate components of equipment therewithin as necessary. The closest attempt to solve this problem known to the applicant is done on a smaller scale in camera bags. Such camera bags may cover all of the interior surfaces of the bag with one of the mating surfaces of a releasable pile and loop connector. Vertically-oriented interior walls are then provided with mating surfaces for the releasable pile and loop connector so that they may be placed in any position as desired within the bag to create separate compartments. Unfortunately, in a larger-scale bag such a system will require a large mount of the releasable connector material. More importantly, it is undesirable to have large exposed portions of the releasable connector material tier snagging and interfering with clothing and equipment stored within the bags. Most importantly, the interior walls in camera bags provide only cushioning and compartmentalization.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel system for selectively attaching components of equipment to pieces of material, be they exterior surfaces of outdoor equipment bags or interior surface of travel bags. The walls can not support weight.
It is another object of this invention to provide a lashing system for components of equipment which provides a secure means of fastening the components to a piece of material.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a system for lashing components of equipment to a piece of material wherein any of several different types of components are selectively and easily attachable to the same portion of a piece of material.
It is still further an object of this invention to provide a lashing system for securely and conveniently attaching containers and/or interior walls to the interior surfaces of a bag.
It is still further an object of this invention to provide interior and exterior walls and panels for bags which are load-bearing.
Additional objects, advantages, and novel features of this invention shall be set forth in part in the description that follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the an upon examination of the following description or may be learned by the practice of the invention. The objects and the advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
To achieve the foregoing and other objects and in accordance with the purposes of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the lashing system for selectively attaching a component to a piece of material includes a pair of anchors attached to the piece of material at a spaced apart relationship. The system also includes a pair of releasable connectors located on the component to be lashed to the piece of material. The pair of releasable connectors are attached to the component with a releasable connector on either of opposite sides of the component. One of the mating surfaces of each connector is attached to the front surface of the component while the matching mating surface is attached at a terminal end to the back side of the component. The free end of the matching surface may then be manipulated to engage with the anchor and then attached to the corresponding mating surface on the front of the component to securely lash the component to the piece of material.
Another aspect of the lashing system of the present invention includes the capability to selectively add a panel to a bag. A first and second anchor are attached to the bag in spaced apart relation from each other and the panel is connected thereto by a pair of releasable connectors attached to the panel. Each releasable connector includes a first mating surface attached to a side wall of a panel and another mating surface attached to a terminal end of the panel and having a opposite free end which may be threaded through the anchors and extended to attach to the other mating surface on the panel. These panels may be oriented vertically or horizontally and attached to the interior or exterior of the bag.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of the specifications, illustrate the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and together with the descriptions serve to explain the principles of the invention. In the drawings:

FIG. 9 is a from view of the interior surface of the travel bag of FIG. 6, showing the connection of the component to the travel bag.
FIG. 10 is a from view of the interior surface of the travel bag of FIG. 6, showing the connection of a relatively larger component to the travel bag.
The improved lashing system 10 of the present invention allows for the secure and interchangeable attachment of any of various components 12, as illustrated by a sunglasses carrying case 32, to the exterior surface of a lumbar pack 14, as shown in FIGS. 1-3. The pack 14 is provided with a plurality of anchors to which the component 12 may be lashed. The component 12 is provided with a pair of releasable connectors 18 mounted thereon for engaging with the anchors 16 on the pack 14.
The lumbar pack 14 includes a first fabric strap 20 stitched to a back surface 22 thereof. A second fabric strap 24 is stitched to a side panel 26 of the pack 14. The anchors 16 are retained on the pack 14 by the fabric straps 20 and 24. The anchors 16 are preferably in the form of plastic loops 28 held in a vertical orientation.
Each of the plastic loops 28 are held in place at a predetermined position along the fabric strap by stitching the fabric straps 20 and 24 to the back and side panels 22 and 26, respectively, on either side of each plastic loop 28. Thus, the stitching is located on either side of and adjacent to the plastic loops 28 of a pair so as to hold them in the predetermined position. The loops 28 are located in pairs for engagement with the component. Preferably, the plastic loops 28 of a pair are positioned at intervals of four and one eighth inches apart. Between the loops 28 of adjacent pairs there is a loop-to-loop spacing of three-quarters of an inch. The alternate spacing between plastic loops of four and one eighth inches and three quarter inches may continue across any given panel of the lumbar pack 14 or any other pack or belt as desired to receive a plurality of such components 12.
As can be seen in FIG. 2, the component 12 includes the carrying case 32 onto which the releasable connectors 18 are mounted. With the sunglasses case, the carrying case 32 features a front panel 34, a back panel (not shown), and a side panel 36 with a zipper 38 installed thereon. This side panel 36 is attached to both the front panel 34 and the back panel. A bottom panel (not shown) also is attached to the front panel 34, the side panel 36 and back panel. An elongated, fixed portion 40 of the releasable connector 18 extends horizontally across the width of the front panel 34 of the carrying case 32. The fixed portion 40 is preferably composed of pile material 42 of the releasable pile and loop connector 18. A flexible, moveable portion 44 of the releasable connector 18 includes the loop material 46 of the releasable connector 18. This movable portion 44 is stitched at a terminal end 47 thereof to the back panel of the case 32. A free end 48 of the movable portion is free to be extended across the side panel 36 to engage with the fixed portion 40 of the releasable connector 18. Importantly, the releasable connector spans from the back panel to the front panel of the component. The other releasable connector 18 is installed on the opposite side (right or left) of the carrying case 32 and has similar components (not all of which are shown).
The component 12 can be attached to the lumbar pack 14 by threading each of the movable portions 44 of the releasable connectors 18 through the corresponding spaced apart plastic loops 28 of any pair of loops. After the moveable portions 44 are threaded though the loops 28, the moveable portions 44 may be folded around the component 12 and engaged with the fixed portions 40 of the releasable connectors 18 so that the pile material 46 may engage with the loop material 42 of the releasable connector. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the sunglasses case component 12 can be lashed to a pair of the anchors 16 while a second component 49 such as a waterbottle can be lashed to another pair of anchors 16 which are also provided on the back panel 22 of the pack 14. The waterbottle 49 includes a pair of releasable connectors 18 which are installed thereon and function like the releasable connectors 18 described above for the sunglasses case component 12.
It can be appreciated that a plurality of different types of components (not shown) which have roughly the same shape and configuration and include a pair of releasable connectors 18 can be lashed to the lumbar pack 14 by engaging with the anchors 16 on the lumbar pack 14. Examples of other types of components which may be lashed to the lumbar pack 14 include an ammunition pouch, a rifle butt-carrying pouch, a mesh pouch, a camera pouch, a lens pouch, and a general purpose pouch (none of which are shown). Some of these components, for example the ammunition pouch, may require a third releasable connector 18, as shown in FIG. 3, a fixed portion 40 of which extends vertically on the front panel 34. The movable portion 44 is fixed at one end to the back panel and positioned to stretch across the bottom panel. This releasable connector 18 can then engage a third anchor which is spaced vertically below the first two anchors.
While not previously mentioned, most of the components 12 are flexible and compressible to some extent. Thus, the component can be compressed a desired amount depending upon the amount of overlap of the portions 40 and 44 of the releasable connector 18.
The lashing system 10 of the present invention may, of course, be utilized with a variety of different types of support members. Instead of the lumbar pack 14, a standard backpack with shoulder straps may include such a lashing system 10. Further, a fanny pack or a waistbelt may include such a system 10. Further, a side loop 45 (FIG. 1) on the pack 14 may be employed along with a loop 41 on a waistbelt 43 provided as a part of the pack. A component can be thus lashed between the belt and the pack to make the component accessible to the user while wearing the pack. The system 10 may also be employed for lashing components to most any support surface or material desired.
A lashing system 50 is utilized to lash components to the interior surfaces of a backpack, travel bag 52, or suitcase. The travel bag 52, as shown in FIG. 6, includes a plurality of plastic loops 54 which serve as anchors. Each plastic loop is attached to an interior surface 56 of panels 58 of the travel bag 52 by a flexible loop of fabric 60 stitched to the panel 58. These plastic loops 54 are installed in a horizontally-oriented configuration with one plastic loop 54 being mounted at a vertically spaced apart distance of approximately four and one quarter inches. Horizontally spaced apart at a distance approximately eight and one half inches are another pair of vertically spaced apart plastic loops 54. Together, these four plastic loops 54 are arranged in a rectangular shape on the panel 58 of the travel bag. These four plastic loops 54 provide the mounting structure for a relatively large component 62 such as a dop kit (FIG. 4). The dop kit 62 is provided with two pairs of releasable connectors 64 which each have a fixed portion 66 having loop material thereon and a movable portion 70 having pile material thereon. The locations of the releasable connectors 64 on the dop kit component 62 correspond to the locations of the plastic loops 54 on the panel 58 of the travel bag 52 (FIG. 6,7, and 9).
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, the component can be a cosmetics case 74. The cosmetics case 74 is provided with two pair of releasable connectors 64 located to correspond with the location of the plastic loops 54 on the panel 58 of the travel bag 52 as was the case with the dop kit component 62.
Similarly, a component 76 which is approximately twice as long as the cosmetics case 74 and dop kit 62 may be provided with four pair of releasable connectors 64, as shown in FIG. 8 and 10. Such a component 76 will extend along the entire width of the panel 58 to engage with a similarly situated set of four pair of plastic loop 54.
FIG. 7 illustrates a vertical interior wall 78 installed within the travel bag 52. The vertical interior wall 78 is provided with releasable connectors 64 which engage with a pair of vertically-oriented plastic loops 80 provided on a side panel 82 of the travel bag 52. The movable portion 70 of the releasable connector 18 may be attached to the side seam (not shown) to increase the strength and profile of the wail. It is also possible to provide a horizontal wall 96 as desired. In the case of horizontal walls 96, the loops will be oriented horizontally. The wall 96 can also be used as a panel within the interior of a backpack 90 to compress a sleeping bag in a bottom end thereof, for example. A walls 94 may also be provided as a panels for the exterior of the backpack 90 for strapping and carrying fire wood or game on the exterior of the backpack. A matrix of the loops 28, 54, and 80 will be provided across the interior and exterior of bags and packs for engagement by such walls, panels, and components.
As is also shown in FIG. 7, a mesh component 84 can be used to carry wet objects such as a swim suit. The mesh component 84 has two pair of releasable connectors 64 for lashing to the previously discussed arrangement of four plastic loops 54 on the panel 58 of the travel bag.
The foregoing is considered illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to as falling within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims which follow.

This looked cool too http://www.marinedepot.com/AquaMaxx_...FIMTEP-vi.html
Hello guys what's a good glue for aquascaping? Don't want to use epoxy. Ordered this from marine depot, thoughts?? http://www.marinedepot.com/EcoTech_M...M15981-vi.html
Are you using dry rock or cycled rock ..? I used the emarco cement on dry work and worked awesome
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Someone said the reef welder worked great on their rock. However, reef welder itself isn't tacky, it just forms. So you may want to use super glue with the reef welder to bind the rock to the reef welder.
120 Gallon tank with stuff that I'll eventually kill =/
Just curious, why no epoxy?
I used the 2 little fishes grey and worked good, but jw if you choose not to for aesthetics or another reason
(Note, it did freak out my skimmer for 2 days haha)

What's Iceland like in January? What's Iceland's weather like in January? What does Icelandic landscape look like in January?
January is the height of winter in Iceland, and although there has been a massive surge in tourism in recent years it is still considered to be off-season. This results in much fewer people being at popular locations around the country, but it also means you'll almost definitely be travelling to Iceland when there's plenty of ice and snow around and snowstorms may hinder your travelling schedule.
- See also: What to do during storms in Iceland
However, when the sky is clear, the Northern Lights can brighten the dark and long nights (January, along with December, is the month with the shortest daylight hours of the year in Iceland).
And in some years, such as in 2017, the winter arrives late and there's hardly any snow on the ground for weeks. This can be seen in this gorgeous aerial picture of Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon in south Iceland above, but overnight, a thick layer of snow can cover the entire ground.
In this article, you'll be able to see Iceland's beauty through pictures taken by Radka Valova. She travelled to Iceland in January 2017 and was kind enough to share her photos with Guide to Iceland and give us permission to post them here.

Gullfoss Waterfall in January
Above is an aerial picture of the Golden Falls, or Gullfoss. This is probably the most known natural attraction in Iceland, as the popular Golden Circle is named after this waterfall.
In wintertime, it is clad in snow and ice, and although there was no snow in Reykjavík in January 2017 you can see a thin layer of snow here, a mere 90-minute drive from the capital.
During the coldest months, the path leading to the waterfall is often closed off due to heavy snow and ice - you wouldn't want to slip and fall next to this thunderous waterfall! Therefore people gather at the viewing platform next to the path as can be seen here.

Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach in January
Reynisfjara beach is a stunning location in south Iceland, no matter what time of the year. But Reynisfjara is also a life-threatening location, especially in January.
During winter months the (almost constant) wind in Iceland can get even more powerful, resulting in a number of storms occurring each winter. On especially windy days, the waves of the Atlantic Ocean turn into a breathtaking force of nature as the surf breaks on the picturesque rocks on Reynisfjara beach.
It's possible to spend hours here mesmerised by the sheer force of nature. However, it's also possible to be suddenly swept away out to sea by a large wave, or even a sneaker wave that seems to come out of nowhere and climbs much further inland than the rest of the waves.
All throughout the year, you should be extremely careful at this location, as a number of unsuspecting people have drowned here - even on calm days. If you visit this location in January, be extra careful and always stay at least 20-30 metres away from the surf.

Dyrholaey Cliffs in January
Dyrhólaey, or Door Hill Island, is a beautiful location in south Iceland, right next to Reynisfjara beach.
Be aware that on top of the cliff it's likely that it will be quite windy, as you are right next to the sea and have no shelter. But this also results in unobstructed views to all sides.
You can catch some stunning sunrise or sunset photos here over the endless sea, admire the crashing surf, the long stretches of black sand beaches or admire the rolling hills and farmland that vanishes into the towering glaciers inland.
On the pictures you see here you can catch quite a bit of colour, as this was an unusually warm January. Don't be surprised if the roads are covered in much more snow than this during this time of year.

Glaciers in Iceland in January
January is the perfect month to visit Iceland's glaciers. Above you can see Svínafellsjökull glacier, a glacier tongue that's a part of the much larger Vatnajökull glacier. Svínafellsjökull glacier tongue is a popular destination for glacier hiking.
The blue colour of the ice is strong when the fresh snow is compressed and becomes a part of the glacier.
You can often see the vivid blue colour in cracks on the glaciers, but the best way to admire the stunning blue colour of the ice is by going inside a glacier ice cave.
Entering ice caves is only possible when the weather is cold enough for the ice to be stable, if it gets too warm then it melts and the caves fill up with water.
Therefore it's most likely that you can enter glacier ice caves between November and March, making January the ideal month to explore this amazing natural phenomenon. Note that it's necessary to go with a guide, as you need to go with someone that knows the area like the back of their hand. You don't want to fall into a crack that's obscured by fresh snowfall!

Iceland's Contrasts in January
Iceland is a land of endless contrasts. You'll find these contrasts in the weather, as well as on the ground. Even with a blanket of snow, you can still find the contrasts in the Icelandic landscape.
You can, for example, be standing on a black sand beach, with the blue ocean in front of you, a lava field covered with snow behind you and the green Northern Lights dancing above you.
- See also: Weather in Iceland & Best Time to Visit
Or you can find yourself in a geothermal area, where the ground is too warm for any snow to settle and the bubbling hot springs are centred in a ground rich with natural elements, lending it its vivid colours.
Above you can see the warm crater Víti, or 'Hell', in Askja volcano. This crater is situated in the Icelandic highlands and is under normal circumstances not at all reachable during wintertime in Iceland as all highland roads are closed during winter.
Radka was extremely lucky to be able to visit this location in January, and only able to do so due to the spring-like weather conditions.
Although Iceland is not as cold as most people assume, clear roads and green landscape as can be seen above is not the norm in January, but it does happen from time to time. The weather is always very unpredictable in Iceland and can change every few minutes.
- See also: What to pack for travel in Iceland
What to Be Aware of in Iceland in January
To be perfectly safe when driving around the countryside make sure you check the road and weather conditions before you get behind the wheel, and we would always advise people to rent 4x4 cars during wintertime in Iceland.
- See also: The ultimate guide to driving in Iceland
- Find 4x4 rental cars here
The cars pictured above are wrecks from road accidents in Iceland, that are situated just outside Reykjavík by the road heading south. Their display serves as a reminder to always drive safely in Iceland. On a sign below each car, people can see in numbers how many people have died on Icelandic roads each year.
That shouldn't deter you from hitting the road, however. If you want to drive yourself you'll be rewarded with gorgeous scenery and the freedom to choose your own itinerary, away from the crowds.
But if you're not used to driving in snow and ice, then we wouldn't recommend trying it for the first time in Iceland. If you want to let someone else do the driving and simply enjoy the views on the way, then there are plenty of winter tours available as well.

And if it's culture you're looking for, then be sure to check out the music festival Dark Music Days, held annually in Reykjavík in January.

Willowglass — Willowglass
((Not on label) WGCD001, 2005, CD)
by Paul Hightower, Published 2006-05-01Willowglass is the solo project of Andrew Marshall who has opted for the D.I.Y. approach to his debut recording. Helping him out is drummer Dave Brightman, a move that spares the listener programmed drums typical in one-man-show efforts like this. Marshall proves himself to be proficient on keyboards, guitars (electric and acoustic), bass as well as flute though whether or not he can sing remains to be seen as this album is entirely instrumental. He won't turn any heads with blazing solos and fiery technique, though that's not due to lack of skill. Rather, he seems to be intentionally going for a more pastoral and broadly symphonic approach, perhaps influenced by the Yorkshire countryside he calls home. The musical reference points won't be hard to spot, namely Anthony Phillips and the more pastoral side of classic Genesis, reaching all the way back to songs like "Stagnation". Mike Oldfield may also have been an influence, at least his technique for building long-form instrumental works. When the flute and Mellotrons crank up one can also detect similarities with older Italian sympho groups and the more intense guitar solos reveal time spent listening to IQ's Mike Holmes. The writing throughout is solid, the playing exceptional, and the production clean so there's not much to dislike about this album unless you just don't care for classic symphonic prog or anything overtly retro. There's already a surplus of quality albums of this sort on the market, though this is still good enough to earn a recommendation.

Mumbai: A few days after Ratan Tata handed over car keys to the first Nano customer on 17 July, Tata Motors Ltd beat Street expectations to report strong net profits and its highest ever operating margin.
Lower steel prices and a higher price tag on new car models helped the country's largest auto maker by stock market value earn net profits of Rs513.76 crore for the quarter ended June. Operating profit as a percentage of sales was 11.4, an improvement of 430 basis points over a year ago. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.

The first quarter results do not include the financial performance of struggling UK-based luxury car brands Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR), which Tata Motors bought from Ford Motor Co. in June 2008 in a debt-loaded deal. Tata Motors ended the last fiscal with consolidated losses of Rs2,500 crore, the first in seven years, after JLR sales tanked amid the global recession. Net profits in 2007-08 were Rs2,200 crore.
"This is our biggest Ebidta margin ever. The challenge is to see if it can be sustained in the forthcoming quarters," Ravi Kant, vice-chairman of Tata Motors, told journalists at a post-results conference. Ebidta, or earnings before interest, depreciation and taxes, is another term for operating profits and is an important measure of corporate profitability.
Kant also said Tata Motors has engaged global consulting firms KPMG and RolandBerger Strategy Consultants GmBH to help cut costs and turn around JLR operations.
In a conference call with analysts, Tata Motors' chief financial officer C. Ramakrishnan said the company has a combination of quarterly, half yearly and annual contracts with suppliers to help it benefit from lower input prices in the forthcoming quarters.
A 25% rise in sales of light commercial vehicles, which offer higher margins, also boosted profits. Commercial vehicles contribute Rs2 out of every Rs3 Tata Motors gets as revenue.
The company sold 127,340 vehicles during the first quarter, down from 133,709 vehicles in the same period a year earlier. The volumes were primarily dragged down by the exports, which declined 43% owing to adverse market conditions in South Africa, West Asia, Russia and Sri Lanka. Car sales declined 10% in the domestic market to 45,846 units, despite the excise duty cuts on cars announced by the government to stimulate the economy.
A Mint poll of five brokerages on 15 July had estimated the net profit would halve to Rs124 crore from a year ago. "The numbers, margins in particular, have come as a positive surprise," said Jatin Chawla, auto analyst at IIFL, the research division of India Infoline Ltd. Tata Motors shares were up 0.39% to Rs374.95 each, even as the benchmark 30-share Sensex was down 3.92%. The earnings were reported 5 minutes before the stock market closed for trading.
Financing, too, played a role. Tata Motors has repaid $150 million (Rs723 crore) of the outstanding $1 billion short-term bridge loan that was rolled over earlier this year, said Kant. Tata Motors also used the proceeds from the sale of a 1.5% stake in group firm Tata Steel last month, he added.
On the possibility of future fund-raising through a global depository receipts (GDRs) issue or stake sales in other unlisted group firms, Ramakrishnan said the company will look at raising capital "at the appropriate time".
The Mumbai-based auto maker, which took a bridge loan of $3 billion in March 2008 to fund the purchase of Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford Motor, completed the final stage of the rollover at end-May.
The company had unveiled its world truck series in May. Ravi Pisharody, executive director, commercial vehicles, Tata Motors said the company would begin to sell world trucks by next month. The company increased its market share in commercial vehicles to 67.4% during the quarter compared with 61% over a year ago, despite a marginal 1.1% growth in domestic sales to 72,216 units.
The company said that in response to infrastructure development, government stimulus packages for the automobile industry and Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission initiatives, the truck and bus segment is slowly recovering. The signs of recovery are more prominent in the north and east, while western and southern regions have yet to stabilize.

Dear RDR Members,
As we open the New Year so far it does not look good for our lake. The current elevation is approximately 725, with the top of the dam and our launch ramp around 800ft. We are basically out of launch ramp. Small fishing boats with 4 wheel drive vehicle can still be launched but that is about it. We have had only about 1/2 inch of rain since 1 October 2013, the beginning of the rain season. No large storms are forecasted in the next 10 days. The lake release is at the minimum of 60 CFS but the water is still going down with nothing coming in. Lake San Antonio is below minimum pool and there is no launching of boats. We will need numerous good storms with a lot of rain between now and April if the lake is going to be useable this coming season. Pray for another "miracle March" as we had a few years back.
Nacimiento Regional Water Management Advisory Council (NRWMAC) -. This organization has been around for awhile and Norm Flowers was active in it. RDR now has a member on the Board. The purpose of the organization is coordinate with county and state organizations that impact decisions about Nacimiento's water release and put forth recommendations to preserve the lake. The Council is made up of representatives from participating communities and private owners around the lake. They also interface with the state and county's mussel program leaders.
Docks – those owners that have a dock on the point are reminded to send a request to the board, with required paperwork, to continue to moor their dock for the coming year. Dock approval is on a yearly basis by the Board. Docks must be kept in good condition and moored properly. The request should be received by the Board by 15 Feb, 2014, so that permission forms required to register with Monterey County can be mailed out the beginning of March.
If we do get the much needed rain owners must be ready to tend to their docks as rapidly rising water can set a dock free or have it become a navigational hazard.
The group heading up the co-op dock is moving forward with their request to Monterey County to gain permission to moor their dock on the Point. The Board has given preliminary approval to the group awaiting the County's decision and comments, final location definition and final structural plans.
Launch Ramp – many thanks to Bob Boals and Jerry Reese who worked hard with their equipment to add rock along the left side of the ramp on the curve. This will help with erosion and help control the drop off where some trailers bottomed out last year. More rock will be added to the ramp in the future.
Aluffo Road – Depending on the rain, major work is being planned for the road from the launch ramp up around the big curve. The road has many widening cracks and there is shoulder deterioration. The work will most likely cause road closure to the launch ramp for short periods of time. When we have a schedule of closures we will send out an email to all owners.
2014 Dues – This year's dues will again be due 1 April 2015. The notice will be sent out in Feb. Please ensure we have your proper mailing address. The dues for this year will again be $425, $300 for RDR and $125 direct pass through for SNRA dues.
Mussel Inspection Program – The required 21 day current mussel inspection certification is still in effect for all boats to launch. There is some confusion with the state CF license sticker as it came with an addition sticker for the mussel program. That sticker only means you paid your fee to support the State's mussel program. It does not relieve the requirement for the current 21 day certification be in your boat when on the water. The inspection is community and launch ramp specific. You cannot leave the community and launch elsewhere even with a current certification unless your boat and trailer have been banded.
We highly encourage all RDR members who store their boats on their property to sign up for the Resident Program. You go on SLO County website and fill out the application, submit the required paperwork. Once accepted you will be notified of a mussel awareness class you must attend to receive your Resident sticker. With the sticker you are no longer required to have 21 day inspections. If you must take your boat in for service it can be banded and as long as it is intact when you return your sticker for no inspections is still valid. One of our mussel inspectors can do the banding and validation. We really need as many people to sign up for this as possible as we have had an enormous burden on our volunteer inspectors last season. We even had some boats launch without the certification because they said they could not find an inspector. Not only do they risk a $2000 fine but more importantly they risk having our launch ramp closed. As stated in RDR rules and regulations members are fully responsible for ensuring their guests have a valid certification prior to using the RDR launch ramp.
Bad News. Recently lake Piru in Ventura County was found to have a quagga mussel infestation. They had an active mussel inspection and banding program at the public ramps. We don't think they have any private ramps. The county and state are still deciding what to do including maybe closing the lake. It has also been rumored that because of this Lake Cachuma may be considering re-instituting their 14 day quarantine. That will mean you must have your boat inspected, banded and stored at their site for 2 weeks before you can launch. Pretty drastic but it is an example of how serious the problem is and what steps counties and the state may take. For lake Nacimiento the county and state mussel coordinators are developing a response plan if mussels are found. It is unknown at this time what that plan is but it could include some of these measures. NRWMAC is working with them and will let us know when the plan is put out.
Fire – RDR remains in a severe fire hazard area with the lack of rain. Even small camp fires can pose a real risk as was evidence in the Glendora fire. SLO County is not issuing any private burn permits at this time. They do issue special Ag burn permits but they do not apply to RDR. There should be absolutely no burning within the confines of RDR at this time.

The Stanislaus River is a 65-mile long waterway that flows from the Stanislaus National Forest in the Sierra Nevada, through New Melones Lake. Downstream from New Melones Dam, the Stanislaus flows through two more dams, Tulloch and Goodwin. Downstream from Goodwin, the Stanislaus River flows past Oakdale, Riverbank and Ripon, emptying into the San Joaquin River.
The Stanislaus River provides irrigation water to about 55,000 acres in Escalon, Ripon and Manteca. The Oakdale Irrigation District provides agricultural water to about 62,000 acres in Stanislaus County and San Joaquin County. Agriculture in San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties is worth more than $6 billion a year. Farming has been a tradition in Stanislaus County for over 150 years, growing over 200 commodities. The value of agricultural commodities produced last year in Stanislaus County was $3.8 billion. Over 20,000 acres were fallowed in 2015 due to a lack of water. You cant grow crops without water, but our water situation isnt just about crops, its about our drinking water and how much we will pay for it. Its also about how much money we pay for electricity. Can you afford to pay more? Do you want to pay more?

Study Abroad, Kalu Yala, and a Federal Financial Aid Scam?
Over 4,000 miles away in Panamas Tres Brazos rainforest, construction is underway to build a jungle town. At first glance
Kalu Yala
looks like paradise with thatch roofed huts, a farm to table kitchen, a large garden and running water. Jimmy and his father Sandy Stice are real estate developers from Atlanta Georgia and
Kalu Yala is a for profit business designed to make millions off the $200,000 homes
they plan to build and sell on the 7,000 acres they own of lush green rainforest.
The Kalu Yala Institute sits directly in the middle of Kalu Yala which allows anyone to start a business and have full access to student interns for business support, their expertise, to troubleshoot, test products, etc. One of the start ups is called
Media Arts.
- a living laboratory in the middle of the jungle. The founder and CEO of Media Arts is
Carly Schwartz.
Kalu Yala is a study abroad program that college students apply to. Tuition per semester is currently
$6500 to $7,000
and can be paid for with
federal financial aid
, or out of your own pocket. Once accepted, students live, work and study on the premises through The Kalu Yala Institute. There are 3 semesters a year. Each semester costing $500 more then the last. Students also receive college credit from the college or university they attend in the US. Students are required to work clearing land and building the infrastructure needed to build
and American tax dollars are paying for what some have called
slave labor.

Sciatica is a set of symptoms, most often caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve on either the left or right side. Sciatica is a common form of lower back and/or leg pain and responds well to Chiropractic care.
There is no reason to suffer needlessly from Sciatica. Sciatic pain can be debilitating and can make working difficult, especially if your occupation requires you to sit or stand for long periods of time. Pain medicines simply mask the pain and do not treat the underlying root cause.
Sciatic pain generally responds well to proper Chiropractic care. The focus of our practice has been to restore our patients to a pain-free and active lifestyle. Our 30+ years of treating patients with chronic pain has equipped us with the expertise to custom tailor a treatment program that best serves your needs.

The very same day, I received an email from legal assist, asking for help. A client emigrated from Cape Town to the US in November 2016. All the family's belongings, household goods, documents, clothes and shoes, kids' toys, irreplaceable personal items, computers and backup discs basically "my family's whole life, was packed in nine big boxes, to be shipped to Florida. We have been assured that it's safe as it's registered," Mike Honsa, the chief executive of Honsa Group, said.
He posted the valuables with the SA Post Office (Sapo) on November 7, 2016 by registered mail. But all attempts to trace the parcels failed "as the Post Office website was down and the links to tracing were broken".
He started his enquiries in February 2017 after nothing arrived - just to realise there was no way to trace his belongings.
"Customer service doesn't answer calls and the line disconnects after 12 minutes," he wrote. "All emails were ignored (although I've got proof they had been opened and read). At the very beginning, a Jim from the Post Office replied once, telling us the parcels are still in Cape Town (three months after being posted), since the container is not full yet."
Honsa hired a lawyer but that "also got nowhere" (various unsuccessful attempts to get hold of any person in charge at Sapo failed) and then he emailed me. "Please help: I paid the Post Office to steal my stuff." Any editor will open an email with such a heading.
The lawyer's take on the story was shocking: "The Post Office has no contract with any shipping agent to deliver any goods in the US, since November 2016. Why did the Post Office accept the shipment and the payment of R10 500, knowing that it can never be shipped? This is pure criminal and fraud at its best. These people think they are untouchable," he wrote.
This is where the good news kicks in. I happen to know the current chief executive of Sapo quite well. As business and financial markets editor at my previous employer, I often reported on the successes of Standard Merchant, Brait and Purple Capital, headed up or founded by Mark Barnes.
Needless to say, one email to Barnes, and I was answered within a few hours by Barnes himself.
Barnes went all out to find the family's valuables.
Read also: Sapo to launch as bank
Mark Jansen van Rensburg, the acting senior general manger: operations at Sapo, confirmed the following:
Dear Adri
With regard to the email from Michael Honsa:
Mr Honsa's items are safe and are part of the lodgement being handed over to a newly appointed shipping agent in Cape Town. Indications are that they will be shipped during this week, latest next week. Just awaiting confirmation from the shipping agent which ship has loading space.
Mr Honsa's items just missed the shipment to the US on November 24, 2016. These items just missed this consignment. Shipping agents in Cape Town are normally awarded the shipping of mail from Cape Town to five destination countries, namely: US, Canada, UK, Netherlands and Germany. An extension was made to their contract and the last shipment sent with the previous shipping agent was shipped to the UK and Germany on March 14 and 15, 2017.
Where the SA Post Office does not have a contract, shipping agents are appointed on a quotation basis. I would like to apologise for the inconvenience on behalf of the SA Post Office.
Mark-Anthony Jansen van Rensburg
Acting Senior General Manager Operations
I suppose Dr Du Plessis is right: it is who you know. What is concerning is that the very same Sapo might be responsible for paying out social grants. Trust can only be earned. I trust that Barnes will get it right. Only time will tell.
