That is so pretty. I am always happy to discover that I have the stamps you used ( soon I will have the new incentive). I have a request.
I love your flowers and I have lots of them but hardly any baskets. (maybe none). I know that there are some baskets and wheelbarrows and such scattered among some of your flower sets ( the ones I do not have). We need a set of fabulous baskets, and vases and all kinds of containers. That would be awesome!

I just love this idea Melanie. You'd think I'd have thought of it already since I do a lot of triple stamp cards, they just look so pretty. Apparently I've gotten so used to doing them I'm in a rut and not seeing straight. Thanks for the inspiration. Always need my Melanie fix, so I never miss a video.

I am 18 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. I have been growing a lot lately and definitely starting to feel movement, like kicking and flipping. These boys are very very picky about what I eat. I was running errands all day and had the feeling that I had to eat something immediately. The only thing around was McDonalds. I hate eating McDonalds even though their fries are so yummy. I had some fries and chicken nuggets. I got home a couple hours later, cooked dinner and before I could serve dinner, I was throwing up allll the McDonalds. Today, I visited a friend at her job which is an amazing tea shop with delicious organic teas. She treated me to an iced jasmine oolong tea. By the time I drove home and got in the house, I threw it up.....every drop. And this is not just ANY puking, but violent projectile puking. Horrible!!! I'm terrified to eat or drink things when not at home, not sure if I am going to reject it or not.
I have my next doctors appointment on Monday (in 2 days) and I am going to bring this up to the doctor. I have my monthly ultrasound in a couple weeks with the high-risk specialist. Im anxious to see my boys again, just to make sure everyone is growing in there.

Revolutionary design and approach.
The BRAHMA is based on the now legendary GAIA mouthpiece, but with an emphasis on the core tone. It is truly innovative with its baffle/floor shape, window shape, transition from flat to rounded inner side walls, and our revolutionary True Large Chamber. While maintaining Theo WanneTM quality, its lower price point makes it financially viable for most musicians. It is fully machined from a solid rod of real premium hard rubber; it is not a molded resin or plastic. With many patents behind their products, Theo WanneTM mouthpieces are among the highest quality and most innovative in the world.
Core Sound Series mouthpieces introduce a new design concept to the Theo Wanne mouthpiece family. This series emphasizes the center, or core, of the musician' tone.
The BRAHMA is the most versatile mouthpiece in the Core Sound Series. It is not an Otto Link copy. Its unique rollover baffle, square window, and special ˜short™ True Large Chamber gives a traditional, vintage, warm sound but adds a big, core tone.
Like Theo Wanne' other mouthpieces, the BRAHMA uses his incredibly advanced CAD manufacturing techniques. However, a new proprietary manufacturing methodology has allowed him to offer this series at an even more competitive price.
With their unique core-focused tone, Theo Wanne legendary quality, and a new competitive price, the Core Sound Series mouthpieces are an excellent value in the professional mouthpiece market.

Comments about Theo Wanne BRAHMA Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece:
The Brahma *6 is very easy to blow and it has improved my tone from top to bottom on my Yamaha 62-II. The high notes don't sound thin like they did with my stock mouthpiece. It's easier to play in tune too. I'm very pleased with the Brahma and with Musician's Friend's great service!

6.2 Security
Internet security concerns both client and server security. However, webMathematica is a server technology. Consequently, there are no special client security issues relating to webMathematica JSPs. Of course, you still need to consider client-side security, but Mathematica does not introduce any special client security issues. The real issue is the security of the server.
IMPORTANT SUMMARY: If you do not have time to read all of this security section or you are unsure about some of the terms, try to remember one important rule about security. NEVER use
; instead always use the secure function
Running a general computation system like Mathematica inside of a web site presents many potential security hazards for the server. Mathematica contains commands for examining and deleting files and for launching arbitrary processes. A number of security features are built into the webMathematica tools, but these are designed to work in conjunction with other standard security features. If security is important to you, study and use features such as firewalls, trusted hosts, and HTTP-specific security features.
A major danger to any Mathematica site is that someone will try to send commands to Mathematica that may breach the security of the server. These commands can be sent as the value of input variables passed in from the server. The previous section on Interpretation of Input discussed how input is interpreted by the system. This section concentrates on the validation process. It is possible for the system to receive input such as:
ReadList[ "/etc/passwd"]
Run["telnetd -d"]
Even if used as an argument to a seemingly harmless Mathematica command, they still pose an attack.
Try using one of these as an input in an example, such as http://localhost:8080/webMathematica/Examples/Expand.jsp.
This type of input fails because input values are sent to Mathematica by the server as strings. In the Mathematica kernel, they should be processed by special functions, such as MSPBlock or MSPToExpression, which provide a secure way to interpret input. In addition, a security feature is built into the Mathematica command ToExpression that prevents inadvertent calls that bypass the security system.
6.2.1 MSP Function Validation
The MSP functions MSPBlock and MSPToExpression are provided to work with input to a webMathematica site in a secure way. These functions parse the expression but validate it before allowing it to evaluate. If validation succeeds, the input can be used for further computation. If it is not validated, an MSPException is thrown. Here is an example of how this works.
Hold[Throw[{$$e, "ReadList[\"/etc/passwd\"]"}, MSPException["SecurityError"]]]
The message about an uncaught Throw arises because there is no Catch statement. A default handler will catch any exceptions that are raised when a page is processed; typically, it inserts some suitable text. It is also possible for an author to catch these exceptions and issue some special error message.
Important: Security Warning
If you want your pages to be secure from attack, it is important you understand what your pages are computing. In particular, commands that open, close, or carry out other operations on files should be dealt with carefully, as should any commands, such as Run or LinkOpen, that start processes. If you use ToExpression, exercise caution as described below.
The Validation Process
The validation process works in a straightforward manner, and you can customize it to give more or less security. You can investigate its operation in the following steps:
First, load the MSP Mathematica application and then lock down the security model, which cannot be modified after SetSecurity is called. When the server initializes Mathematica, it calls SetSecurity.
Now you can test expressions for validity. A first example shows a harmless mathematical expression that is found to be secure.
InsecureExprQ[ HoldComplete[ Sin[6]]]
Here is a less-than-friendly expression, the sort of thing that could be sent as an attack.
InsecureExprQ[ HoldComplete[ Run[ "telnetd"]]]
Validation works by collecting all the symbols into a list and steadily reducing the list. If any symbols remain after reduction, the expression is not secure. The reduction process works with lists of symbol and context names that can either be allowed or disallowed according to the following steps:
If AllowedContexts is a list, remove symbols with contexts on this list.
If AllowedContexts is not a list, remove symbols with contexts not in DisallowedContexts.
If AllowedSymbols is a list, remove symbols found in this list.
If AllowedSymbols is not a list, remove symbols that are not in DisallowedSymbols.
If no symbols remain, the expression is secure; otherwise it is not secure.
These tests allow you to be restrictive or flexible. If you use the allowed lists, you are restrictive and have more security, whereas if you use the disallowed lists, you are less restrictive with less security. It is up to each individual site to decide the appropriate balance.
When the server is started, a default security model is installed. This default security model looks like this:
HoldComplete[Plus, Times, Power, Sqrt, Log, Exp, HoldComplete, ∞, , , °, GoldenRatio, Catalan, EulerGamma, OutputForm, StandardForm, List, Sin, Cos, Tan, Sec, Csc, Cot, Sinh, Cosh, Tanh, Sech, Csch, Coth, ArcSin, ArcCos, ArcTan, ArcSec, ArcCsc, ArcCot, ArcSinh, ArcCosh, ArcTanh, ArcSech, ArcCsch, ArcCoth, True, False, Derivative, D, Dt, ⅈ, Greater, Less, GreaterEqual, LessEqual, Inequality, Equal, Re, Im, Abs, Sign, Conjugate, Arg, Round, Floor, Ceiling, Max, Min, Mod, Quotient, Not, And, Or, Xor, AiryAi, AiryAiPrime, AiryBi, AiryBiPrime, BesselJ, BesselK, BesselI, BesselY, Factorial, Binomial, Multinomial, Gamma, Beta, LogGamma, PolyGamma, LegendreP, SphericalHarmonicY, HermiteH, LaguerreL, Erf, Erfc, Erfi, InverseErf, InverseErfc, ClebschGordan, ThreeJSymbol, SixJSymbol, Zeta, FresnelS, FresnelC, CosIntegral, SinIntegral, ExpIntegralE, ExpIntegralEi, SinhIntegral, CoshIntegral, HypergeometricPFQ, Hypergeometric0F1, Hypergeometric1F1, Hypergeometric2F1, HypergeometricPFQRegularized, MeijerG, MSP`Security`Private`AppelF1, EllipticK, EllipticF, EllipticE, EllipticPi, JacobiZeta, EllipticNomeQ, EllipticLog, InverseEllipticNomeQ, JacobiAmplitude, EllipticExp, DiracDelta, UnitStep, DiscreteDelta, KroneckerDelta, Identity, Function, Slot, GrayLevel, Hue, RGBColor, CMYKColor, Automatic, None, All, Null]
This model will allow any symbol in Global` context, in addition to a number of specific symbols. This is a fairly restrictive model that provides a higher level of security.
6.2.2 Setting Your Own Security Model
You can make your own definitions for MSP`Utility`AllowedContexts, MSP`Utility`DisallowedContexts, MSP`Utility`AllowedSymbols, and MSP`Utility`DisallowedSymbols. These definitions should be placed into a file in the /WEB-INF/conf directory and the name of the file set by the configuration parameter SecurityConfigurationFile. For example, if the configuration information is in a file called SecurityConfiguration.m, the following should be added to MSP.conf.
A sample security configuration file is shown below. This only allows symbols in the Global` context in addition to Plus, Times, and Power. This is a particularly restrictive security system that might be appropriate in some circumstances.
MSP`Utility`AllowedSymbols = HoldComplete[ Plus, Times, Power]MSP`Utility`AllowedContexts = {"Global`"}
As described in the section on Multiple Kernel Pools, it is possible to use different configuration details for different request URLs. Each pool has its own configuration file and its own security system.
When each Mathematica kernel is launched, these four security parameters are sent to the log system.
You can test your security model from within Mathematica. You first need to have installed the MSP Mathematica application into your Mathematica layout. This installation is not necessary to run webMathematica; but it is necessary if you want to use the functions in an interactive session of Mathematica. It is described earlier.
You can then run the functions from within a Mathematica session. First you need to load the MSP application.
Now you need to place your security configuration into a file and then load this into Mathematica. Here the example has used the configuration information shown above and the file is placed into the C:\Temp directory.
SetSecurity["C:\\Temp", "MySecurity.m"]
This input passes the security model since it contains symbols in the Global` context and Plus.
MSPToExpression[ "x+y"]
However, this input does not pass the security system since it also contains the Sin symbol which is not permitted by the security system.
MSPToExpression[ "Sin[x]+y"]
Hold[Throw[{"Sin[x]+y", "Sin[x]+y"}, MSPException["SecurityError"]]]
When you have determined the appropriate security system you can place your security configuration file into the webMathematica/WEB-INF/conf directory and set the SecurityConfigurationFile parameter of MSP.conf.
6.2.3 ToExpression Validation
It is possible that someone developing MSP scripts may not fully understand the security system. They may decide to call ToExpression directly on an input variable, which would bypass the security system and pose a potential danger. To provide security for such events, ToExpression is validated if it has a first argument equal to any of the inputs sent with the request. In this way, the security system will validate a computation such as the following.
<msp:evaluate> val = ToExpression[ $$num]</msp:evaluate>
If the value of $$num passes the security test, ToExpression works as expected. However, if the security test fails, a security exception will be thrown.
You can disable this security test by setting the Mathematica variable MSP`Utility`CheckToExpression to False. In addition, you can disable the test in MSP.conf.
It is probably an exceptional site that disables this security feature.
Of course, if the string input to ToExpression comes from an input sent with the request, but is modified in some way, the call to ToExpression will not carry out any validation. Due to this, it is highly recommended that you never use ToExpression, but instead use MSPToExpression.
6.2.4 Access Restrictions
You may wish to restrict access to certain parts of your system such as the Kernel Monitor, which is provided for monitoring and debugging your system. In this case, refer to the Site Administration section on Logging and the Kernel Monitor. The section on Apache and Tomcat describes how this can be when webMathematica is used from the Apache web server.

Just acquired an 18 month old rifle at a very silly low price.
There is a possibility that the owner thought it was duff.
First groups were like wild womans sh**e.
By a proscess of elimination I found the silencer was clipping.
Tried it on another rifle , same story.
Looks like a HW but cant find any marking.
Anyway seems a shame to bin it and I would not pass it on while it's clipping.
If I had the face turned to remove a high spot would this work or is it likely to be the whole thread which is duff?

The plan, spanning from 2018 to 2057, is the first ever long-term development agenda Ghana has ever had.
Financial analyst, Sidney Casely-Hayford has described as "defunct" the 40-year development plan by the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC).
The plan, spanning from 2018 to 2057, is the first ever long-term development agenda Ghana has ever had. It will bind governments to a vision lasting till the country turns 100 years as an independent nation.
Speaking on Citi FM's The Big Issue, Mr. Casely-Hayford stated that the plan will not work because it was obsolete.
According to him, the world is fast-changing and considering the fact that continuity will be a challenge, there should not be a 40-year plan.
"We don't have any determining situation that whatever goes with this long development plan must necessarily be adapted by any party that comes to power," he noted.
READ MORE: > 40-yr development plan is a 'joke' - Franklin Cudjoe
Mr. Casely-Hayford suggested that the future development should rather focus on championing the proportional representation system instead of the winner-takes-all.
"I believe the acrimony that we are creating with this two-party state that we have simply because we are doing this first-pass-the-post system and representation in parliament must stop. For any system to work properly, that is the first thing we need to correct," he said.

In addition, the financial analyst intimated that regions should be made to administer themselves.
"If we want to plan for anything, let us plan that we will have a regional autonomy in this country. The idea that we have a national central government system that controls all the purse money is wrong. Anybody who is going to represent you in a district, municipality must be voted for so we could hold them accountable," he observed.
"The problem is not because we haven't recognised the decentralisation laws. The problem is that we still continue to hold on the most important ingredients for development in the economy, which is the cash in a party name, guides as government and give to those we think should benefit and later get votes from them during elections. We are being stupid," he fumed.

This is Part 2 of a series on my stolen laptop.
Having my laptop stolen from my car left me feeling violated. I'm sure there is only slight resemblance to suffering personal violence, but the experience gave me greater sympathy for victims of violence. The daze. The fear. The uneasiness in innocent situations that would not have bothered me previously.
The incident also affected my immediate family. My wife drove the car that night, taking our youngest daughter out on a date. They were uneasy about leaving a car with one window missing, so they parked right in front of a restaurant window and sat at that window. And watched the car as they ate. And felt uneasy.
The theft occurred over lunch on Friday. The following Monday, I went out for lunch again, this time with no laptop in the car—because I didn't have one. Although the lunch was with my agency recruiter (technically my employer), the conversation became quite spiritual, and she surprised me with this challenge:
"Have you prayed for the thief and forgiven him?"
This took me aback because the thought had not occurred to me, even though forgiving one's enemies is one of the primary practices of following Christ. I had just finished reading The Shack on Sunday, so as I drove away from lunch, I followed the example of the book's main character and said aloud, "I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you."
…Bear with me as I digress for a moment. It will come full circle.
At work, I was asked to implement a feature, an extension of something that had been done before. But I didn't want to simply copy the previous work and change a few things; that's fine as a starting point but you can't leave it that way. Besides, the original code was already full of copy-and-paste repetition in extraordinarily long functions. I wanted to do it right.
So I spent four days doing it right: two days on Mac, two on PC. I started with the large copy-and-paste version but carefully decomposed it into ten functions. My goal was to leave useful, expressive code that could be reused the next time (and eventually retrofit the old code). I completed my work by early Friday evening—the same day that my laptop was stolen. I had suffered loss, but at least I could feel proud of my work.
When I looked at the code on Monday morning, I found that my boss had quietly reverted all of my work and replaced it with copy-and-paste code. I expected him to say something: "It wasn't working and I had to get it working, so I took drastic measures." Some kind of explanation.
I got nothing. My art had been replaced with his crap. Four days of work gone without a word. My boss simply gave me my next assignment. Oh yeah, I feel motivated now.
…Now, what does this have to do with my laptop being stolen?
On Monday afternoon, I took my first steps toward forgiving the thief, and prayed for him. But on Monday night, I was still ticked at my boss.
And God said, "Let me get this straight. You're more upset about your work being wiped out than about your laptop being stolen?"
"You're a jerk!" I replied with a laugh. Ha ha. I knew he had me.
But I still could not forgive my boss.
Who do you still need to forgive? What are you going to do about it?

Easily simulate process I/O for both classic I/O, CHARM I/O, and Ethernet I/O cards for non-intrusive, rigorous control system testing prior to field commissioning, without any changes to your control system configuration. After developing and testing your software configuration in DeltaV Simulate, you can transfer the configuration to your online system using the standard DeltaV export/import utilities.
DeltaV Simulate uses the same configuration and operator graphics as on your online DeltaV system, and is easily integrated with dynamic process simulation to provide a realistic training environment. Process simulation may be done using DeltaV function blocks or by incorporating an OPC-compliant process simulation package such as MiMiCTM.
New plant start-ups and major DCS upgrades cost millions of dollars. Significant savings can be realized by reducing the time to reach full plant operation and by avoiding start-up incidents. DeltaV Simulate minimizes delays and incidents by providing an independent control simulation platform for implementation, testing, and training prior to start-up.

June 24, 2011
In the continuation of our scouting/stats series, and with the news getting better every day on the labor subject, it's time to talk more actual football! Today, we're going to feature a full team of underrateds — those players who impressed us through the 2010 season, who could do even more in future seasons, and just don't get the credit we feel they deserve. Here's our offense (defense is here):
Quarterback — Shaun Hill(notes), Detroit Lions/Kyle Orton(notes), Denver Broncos
Don't look now, but Hill might be this generation's Scott Mitchell. He was better than bonus baby Alex Smith in San Francisco, and last year in Detroit, he was more efficient than the injured Matt Stafford per Football Outsiders' advanced metrics. Of course, the Lions are looking to Stafford to be their quarterback of the future, but if he should prove to be as injury-prone as he has been, the Lions are in good shape with Hill as their backup. Orton put up some ridiculous numbers over the last two seasons in Josh McDaniels' offense; the challenge now will be for him to either do it in a different style of offense in Denver following Josh McDaniels' departure, or do it elsewhere in the league. But while everyone's talking about Kevin Kolb(notes), it's Orton who's done far better in a high-speed offense.
Running Back — BenJarvus Green-Ellis(notes), New England Patriots/LeSean McCoy(notes), Philadelphia Eagles
Funny how all the talk in New England was about little Danny Woodhead(notes), when Boston Legal was the one ripping things up. Just one year after dousing himself in End Zone Repellent before every game, Green-Ellis hit the end zone 13 times and finished third in FO's cumulative efficiency metrics. Yes, there's always a slight debit to running backs in New England's system because the passing game opens things, but Green-Ellis still went above and beyond in the Patriots' new fast-break offense. McCoy may be the best overall rushing/receiving threat in the game right how, helped as he is by opposing defenses trying to figure out what to do about Michael Vick(notes).
Wide Receiver — Mike Wallace(notes), Pittsburgh Steelers/Brandon Lloyd(notes), Denver Broncos/Stevie Johnson(notes), Buffalo Bills
Wallace got some props for his great 2010 season, but not nearly enough — he was the most efficient in the NFL per FO's metrics, and he helped the Steelers' offense further graduate from old-school smashmouth to new-wave pseudo spread.
No receiver was a better vertical threat than Lloyd, who finally transcended an early career that had people wondering if he was ever going to get it. According to STATS, Inc., 1,221 of his 1,448 receiving yards came before the catch, which led the league in a landslide (Roddy White(notes) was second with 1,008 yards before the catch) and set the Broncos up to upend secondaries with a true downfield weapon.
And given the lack of explosiveness around him, Johnson has to be named as one of the league's best young receivers. Johnson was the other kind of receiver — the guy who would pick up the short pass and make plays. Four-hundred-nineteen of his 1,073 receiving yards came after the catch, which was one of the highest totals for non-running backs.
Tight End — Jacob Tamme(notes), Indianapolis Colts/Marcedes Lewis(notes), Jacksonville Jaguars
The Colts' most efficient tight end last year? No, it wasn't Dallas Clark. Tamme was the beneficiary of the slot tight end role after Clark's wrist injury, and he really stepped up in the second half of the season against some tough opponents. Lewis does get some media love, but just three tight ends caught 10 touchdown passes last year: Antonio Gates(notes), Rob Gronkowski(notes) and Lewis. People know how good Gates and Gronkowski are -- public perception seems to lag behind in Lewis' case.
Offensive Line
Left Tackle: Eugene Monroe(notes), Jacksonville Jaguars — In FO's Adjusted Line Yards metrics, the Jags ranked very highly in most power stats, and were very strong to the left side. Monroe sometimes gets debited for his pass-protection, but FO's metrics tell us that he reduced his blown blocks total from 9.5 in 2009 to 6 in 2010. One also had to look at the quarterback when discussing pass pro, and David Garrard(notes) clearly has a problem pulling the trigger on pass plays designed for a quick release.
Left Guard: Wade Smith(notes), Houston Texans — The Texans have improved their red-zone and short-yardage efficiency in the last couple of years, and Smith is as responsible as anyone.
Center: Nick Hardwick(notes), San Diego Chargers — San Diego's run game was a disappointment in 2010, but the one place it worked was right up the middle; the Chargers averaged 4.34 yards per carry in the mid-guard area, the only one of five rushing zones in which they ranked in the top 10.
Right Guard: Josh Sitton(notes), Green Bay Packers — Yes, he's a name to a degree, but the tape tells a story that needs to be told more often — this guy is a beast. If you don't believe me, check out what Ndamukong Suh had to say about Sitton when I talked with the Lions' terrifying tackle in February. If Sitton is the best guard Suh has faced … well, that's good enough for me.
Right Tackle: Sebastian Vollmer(notes), New England Patriots -- Vollmer moved to the right side to replace the injured Nick Kaczur(notes) in 2010, but if you get a chance to watch the Houston grad at left tackle in his rookie year of 2009, definitely check it out — especially his performance against Indy's Dwight Freeney, where he shut the dominant pass rusher out while replacing Matt Light(notes). He's the NFL's best swing tackle, and he's going to be much more in the future.

Discussion in 'Watercraft' started by kelly cunningham, Jan 27, 2008.
Nope, we're a private company, not government. So doesn't qualify.
Sorry to hear that Kelly. That is one thing that I really love about spending tiime in Montana, You can trust a man on his word. Karma, he will get his someday.
Didn't they used to be a sponsor on an Oregon based fishing site?
Not sure that's correct. I suspect what you have is a 'money judgment' (correct?) and you can 'foreclose' on this any time you can identify an asset. Check with the local Sheriff's Dept as they're usually the one's who put the hammer down and grab/hold the asset(s).
If you want to wait that long, you'll have to renew the judgment every (typically) 7 years.
This company didn't sponsor a board that I know of (they tried on my steelheader board, but were turned away). They company you're thinking of is Waterready and they were doing ifish.
I guess the good news that if you do maintain the lien for 50 years and it accrues interest at 9% annually, your $1,400 lien will be worth $104,100.53 (no joke). So if you maintain the lien, it at least is a decent long term investment. Basically... don't forget to renew the judgment.
I think Fred Evans is on point. If you can do it at low enough cost and effort to make it reasonable, consider a foreclosure action on the property on which you have a lien. The property normally then would be sold at a sheriff's sale (public) and you would claim the proceeds of the sale up to the amount of your judgment and, hopefully, costs.
Ole River Runner again. Thanks, Chris. I wonder if all the guys on Mountain Buzz know about this.
He's made recent posts on there trying to pick on Streamtech. Since that forum caters mostly to the Colorado area, and non fisherman, most don't realize who he is or what he's up to.
I've also seen him posting on various Oregon Craigslist regions about his "pro' raft frames.
California law may be different, but probably not significantly in these actions. Getting a judgment is where we usually stop because prosecuting a judgment can be expensive and time consuming and for $1,400 at stake I know I would not do it because I'd have practically no net recovery. Ours are usually in the mid five figures and I know if I push hard enough most will go BK so there's not much point in light asset cases. Over the past four or five years, we've obtaining judgments well in excess of $1M and nearly all have responded with a bankruptcy filing as usually we were one of several creditors.
Getting a garnishment here is difficult. It may not be elsewhere. We were granted one recently and it took about a week for the BK to happen.
Again this is California, and going BK here is about as eventful as a trip to Walgreens and takes about as much effort. I think people from the Northwest have a little more pride and fighting spirit, so you might actually get paid someday if he doesn't go chapter first. Here, I would bet strongly against it. $1,400 is a sting but the loss isn't going to change your lifestyle. I'd consider writing it off, moving on, and hoping some day you get a call asking for payoff instructions. That is my $.02 which probably approximates the value of my judgments;-)
Afterthought: Another thing that separates the great state of California from others is that if this thread were in a general forum down here, you would probably find a plethora of people defending the frame builder. They'd suggest that he might be shouldering personal issues far more serious than your $1,400, or that a man has to feed and clothe his family first, or that he his welding equipment might not meet OSHA standards and he cares for his employees first, or that he may have discovered that his shop wasn't fully green and chose not to further pollute the earth of which we are all stewards.
Yep, world's largest insane asylum, and one where the inmates are actually in charge. A good dose of ebola would probably go a long way toward curing that... Just sayin`
I never knew the last name (Hawthorn) until seeing it here but I have spoken with a James several times at this company and I assume it is the same person. Although we did have some great discussion on product ideas, frame materials, pontoon materials, experiences with other business, the guy seemed like a decent dude while on the phone. I heard lots about the former Whitewater Fabrication that went out of business with some of the same people going to this new company.
That's a better rate of return than I can get anywhere. Maybe I should go for one!
Why doesn't this guy get his own company on solid ground, add his product line and get his half finished web site up and running? Seems that would be a better approach than taking shots at other manufacturers. I guess one's approach can speak volumes of one's intent and practice. Still, I'd like to see another player in the game of cool watercraft. I'd even like to get my hands on a set of those tubes to try them out. Can't see any other items besides the tubes because the rest of the prodcuts are not yet available or have not been added. I'll happily keep using my boats from other companies, all have full web sites and great products.

Today on this 2009 Nissan Rogue, we will be installing Hidden Hitch part number 87457. This installation will also apply to the Draw-Tite part number 75606. Looking underneath the vehicle at the driver side frame rail, you can see here that there are three existing weld nuts in the bottom of the frame. Into these weld nuts we will be using the 12 mm bolts along with the conical tooth washers. That setup will be the same over here on the passenger side. But you will note that we have, not only an existing tow hook that is taking up the first two holes at the rear of the frame, but we also have an existing bolt here at the forward side as well. So the tow hook which consists of two bolts here at the bottom of the frame and two bolts on the side of the frame will need to be removed before we can get started. And then we will also want to remove the bolt at the more forward side as well.
With all the bolts and the tow hook removed we can go ahead and put the hitch up into place. And again, we will be using the new hardware that is provided with the hitch installation kit to hang the hitch up in place. With all the bolts in place you can go ahead and torque them down. You want to check with the directions to verify the appropriate torque rating for each individual bolt. Now that we have all the bolts torqued down our installation is complete. This will conclude the installation of hitch part number 87457.

Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev was sworn in for a new five-year term Friday after securing a devastating victory in an election criticized by international observers.
The 70-year old former Communist party boss is now entering his third decade of rule over this oil-rich former Soviet nation, which he has led unchallenged since it gained independence in 1991.
After Nazarbayev's swearing-in, the government tendered its resignation as required by the Constitution, setting the stage for a possible Cabinet shake-up.
Government critics desribe Nazarbayev as an authoritarian leader, although he insisted in his inauguration ceremony that he would usher in a new era of democratic reform.
Thousands turned out to greet Nazarbayev and waved flags as he arrived for the ceremony at the Independence Palace in the capital, Astana.
Nazarbayev said Sunday's election, in which he received 95.6 percent of ballots cast, was a vote for stability and prosperity in the Central Asian nation.
Emphasis will now be placed on enhancing democracy and increasing fairness in the country's justice system, he said.
"We have to find the optimal way of empowering parliament, increasing the government's responsibility and improving the electoral process," he said.
While growing oil-fueled prosperity and political stability have guaranteed Nazarbayev a genuinely high degree of popularity in Kazakhstan, the scale of his victory and the high turnout of 90 percent in the election surprised many international observers.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's election-monitoring arm said the vote was marred by numerous cases of ballot box-stuffing, voter intimidation and a lack of transparency.
Prime Minister Karim Masimov thanked the president in an official statement announcing the government's resignation.
"It is important that the head of state won these elections so confidently. He has a new mandate for the continued development of our country," Masimov said.
The presidential administration has given no clear signal of what changes it might effect to the incoming Cabinet, but many political observers have predicted that Masimov, who has served as Prime Minister since early 2007, could be replaced.
Kazakhstan has much to do if it is to live up to Nazarbayev's promises to boost democracy.
Nazarbayev's Nur Otan party holds every seat in the lower house of parliament and lawmakers last year named him "leader of the nation" - a title that gives him the right to approve important national and foreign policies after he retires and grants him lifetime immunity from prosecution for acts committed during his rule.
Programming on state television Friday indicated there is little intention of pedaling back on what some have described as a creeping cult of personality devoted to Nazarbayev.
In one program broadcast after the inauguration, young children extensively extolled Nazarbayev's virtues as a guarantor of stability.
"He does everything, even though his job is difficult, he works so that everything will be good for us," one unnamed preschool student told Khabar state television.

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Casablanca for 6 nights from 20 December.
As widely reviewed, it is a great little hotel with attentive staff and excellent facilities.
It is right at the heart of where you want to be but once inside, you could be a miliion miles away from the bustle of Times Square.
My girlfriend suffered from a heavy cold during the latter part of the stay so my ability to access the orange juice 24/7 was greatly appreciated.
The rooms are small but then it is a base. Apart from sleeping at the hotel, most people won't spend more than a couple of hours a day in their room and they are attractively and comfortably furnished.
A nice touch was from Raymond on the desk who persuaded the hotel manager to purchase "The Grinch" for the CD library so that we could watch it on Christmas Day....an old tradition! It was only a small gesture but typical of the care given to all guests and their needs.
If you want somewhere which is convenient yet intimate and quiet, you should look no further than the Casablanca. It is excellent value for money and an ideal base for Christmas in the Big Apple!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Experience the magic of Times Square just steps from our door, and then escape from it all at this oasis of hospitality, The Casablanca Hotel. Guests are welcome to unwind in Rick's Cafe with complimentary refreshments 24 hours a day, including the Library Hotel Collection's signature Continental Breakfast Buffet each morning, wine and cheese receptions each evening from 5PM-8PM, and coffee, tea, cookies and fruit served throughout the day. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel and bottled water is provided daily. ... more less

Just ask them if their glass overflows when the ice in their drink melts.
Send the DUmmies over the edge by responding that you told your grand kids to only rent apartments above the 5th floor! Liberals, having a poorly developed sense of humor and an overdeveloped sense of self-righteousness, will likely blow a fuse at this point. Lots of fun!
You should have told them that, unlike their grandchildren, yours would be smart enough to start wading towards the new shoreline when the water reached their knees.
You know what I have told the True Believers when they say something like that? Simple.
I tell them that if it is that bad and getting worse as fast as they believe, then they should start enjoying life, because it is way past time for anything to help. Start partying and prepare to kiss your butt goodby.
It won't help, but it is fun to imagine the little greenies' heads exploding like the guys in Mars Attacks.

Going to millenium stadium in july where best to take motorhome? Cheers Scotty
Do you know if your vehicle is LEZ compliant as this will make a difference to where you can park without being fined.
Use the checker below
Isn't the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff?
There is a caravan site next door to the Swalec stadium five minutes from the millenium stadium .i believe council owned , google caravan sites Cardiff.
It's not cheap but you are very central ,the site is in a huge park .
I know a funster will come up with a wild camping spot soon
Hope this helps
Regards Dave
Pocana fields next door almost.
The best stadium in the WORLD, bar none..
The true home of Rugby.....
I would not disagree re the stadium. But on a visit had a wry smile when they said that they have never been beaten on their home turf. The reason being it is shipped in from Holland. They have thousands of sheep eating the stuff, ship it in from Holland? :Blush:

Business Continuity ManagementBusiness Continuity Management (BCM) is a holistic management process that enables companies to ensure their stakeholders' interests and to build assets such as reputation and brand equity.

"Doubt is our product," a cigarette executive once observed, "since it is the best means of competing with the 'body of fact' that exists in the minds of the general public. It is also the means of establishing a controversy."
In this eye-opening expose, David Michaels reveals how the tobacco industry's duplicitous tactics spawned a multimillion dollar industry that is dismantling public health safeguards. Product defense consultants, he argues, have increasingly skewed the scientific literature, manufactured and magnified scientific uncertainty, and influenced policy decisions to the advantage of polluters and the manufacturers of dangerous products. To keep the public confused about the hazards posed by global warming, second-hand smoke, asbestos, lead, plastics, and many other toxic materials, industry executives have hired unscrupulous scientists and lobbyists to dispute scientific evidence about health risks. In doing so, they have not only delayed action on specific hazards, but they have constructed barriers to make it harder for lawmakers, government agencies, and courts to respond to future threats. The Orwellian strategy of dismissing research conducted by the scientific community as "junk science" and elevating science conducted by product defense specialists to "sound science" status also creates confusion about the very nature of scientific inquiry and undermines the public's confidence in science's ability to address public health and environmental concerns Such reckless practices have long existed, but Michaels argues that the Bush administration deepened the dysfunction by virtually handing over regulatory agencies to the very corporate powers whose products and behavior they are charged with overseeing.
In Doubt Is Their Product Michaels proves, beyond a doubt, that our regulatory system has been broken. He offers concrete, workable suggestions for how it can be restored by taking the politics out of science and ensuring that concern for public safety, rather than private profits, guides our regulatory policy.
Named one of the best Sci-Tech books of 2008 by Library Journal!
Despite the overwhelming evidence that tobacco use causes lung cancer and other forms of the disease, the American tobacco industry vigorously denied for decades any cancer link, hiding the facts and attempting to discredit the growing body of medical and scientific evidence. Michaels, a scientist and former government regulator, identifies many other harmful industries in the nation that are using similar tactics. He points to the chrome-plating, lead, and rubber industries, which in many instances knowingly expose workers to toxic substances and produce harmful products. These businesses, like the tobacco industry, continue to deny and attack the findings that show their harm. They label such findings as "junk science," and they hire product-defense consultants to shape and skew the scientific literature, create uncertainty, and influence policy decisions in their favor. To protect against such tactics, Michaels discusses a number of ways to strengthen the nation's court system and regulatory agencies. This insightful, well-written, and well-researched book is an essential read for anyone interested in occupational health and safety and public health.

Two nights ago (2nd Oct 2013), I was very lucky to see beautiful auroras throughout the night. Earlier that day all odds were against it.
Being filled with clouds, the weather forecast was not encouraging, but for some reason the skies cleared by nightfall. My car had two surprises in store for me: two flat tires which I apparently am to blame for due to my photo excursion the weekend before. Back then I hit a big rock driving through a narrow forest road and when I checked all seemed fine. The air slowly left and – looking now back – I'm glad it happened in my home yard and not in the middle of no-where at night!
After fixing the car, I left home at 9.30pm driving towards this lake North of Oulu. When I arrived, the show already started. Half of the sky was filled with a thin layer of aurora-fog which didn't move. In the middle of it was a strong green arc. It didn't take long and the lights started to dance in all directions. One hour later I saw already three coronas. Because of that aurora-fog most photos were more or less green. That's when I knew this would be a different night than usually.
I had a lot more time just to enjoy auroras and didn't concentrate too much on taking pictures. In future, I might just do that again. It's just so different when taking the time and watch, sucking in the atmosphere, the movement of the lights and the many different shapes. The silence paired with auroras was overwhelming and for a while I held my breath and listened to – nothing.
At some point the 'Earthly' fog came in made the place looking even more mystic. There was no moonlight, only auroras and the fog. At times there were only weak Northern lights and it was very dark. When bright auroras appeared I could recognize even details on the ground. What didn't change was the dance right above my head, an extraordinary display of green flickering. At one moment the sky was almost black and a split-second later some parts where lit up, another split-second later it had a different shape or place.
I don't think any of today's cameras can capture details of this sort of display. I'm glad they can't, because I can just stare up in disbelief. To me these auroras are completely random, totally unpredictable and breathtakingly mesmerizing. Just writing about it and thinking back, makes me at a loss for words, again.
To capture auroras with a vast field with sparse, tall trees has been a long dream for me. I've been a couple of times at such a field, but the photos didn't bring out the atmosphere as I hoped. Two nights ago the auroras looked to be perfect and I went to a field, leaving the dancing lights behind me. When I got to that place I immediately knew 'this is it'. Just the atmosphere I hoped, I couldn't believe it. But enough writing, let photos speak for themselves.

Good morning everyone. There's no Monday's Mandala this week as a zendala dare wasn't released at The Bright Owl. Instead I thought I might share my tiger. This was created from a template drawn by Ben Kwok at Ornation Creation, a Facebook Group. I am a huge fan of Ben's work and I aspire to be as good as he is one day. It has taken me 12 hours to finish the zentangle drawing, the longest I've ever worked on one project and I have loved every minute of it. I'm hooked and I'm going to start another one as soon as!!
Enjoy your week everyone
Stay beautiful

Valentine's Day is THIS WEEK but don't worry, it isn't too late to get your special someone a delicious and thoughtful present.This mini heart shaped cake is PERFECT. It is approximately 4 inches at its widest and can be made with any flavor of cake. This cake can also be decorated to fit your personality and taste.
This particular cake is simple and modern. It is covered with smooth white fondant then strategically decorated with bright fondant ribbon roses.
These roses are super fun and elegant and can even be eaten by a fondant lover!
I love how sleek and elegant the ribbon roses.
The cake was a vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting and blackberry filling. It's the perfect size for two to share!
To order from Pastry Shells, contact me at email@example.com.
Photography Side note:
I'm currently taking a basic DSLR photography class in hopes to improve my blog pictures! These aren't perfect but I'm going to keep trying! My main troubles are with editing the pictures. What kind of editing software do you use for your pictures? Is Photoshop really a good investment? Also, any advice for editing pictures for food blogs are welcome. I use iPhoto and have a Nikon D3100 35mm with macro lens attachments (so much cheaper than the actual lens). Can't wait to hear your feedback! Thanks!

Music News understands that the singer, born Paul Blake, died at the University hospital of the West Indies on Thursday night after a battle with kidney disease. He was 51.
IRIE FM's veteran Broadcaster Bob Clarke says Frankie Paul's contribution to the entertainment industry is immeasurable.
Meanwhile, Mr. Vegas and Tanto Metro are some of the entertainers who have sent messages of condolence via social media.
On Instagram Tanto Metro wrote: "Thank you for your musical contribution that you have entertain us with; throughout your lifetime you left a legacy of hits that we will always be singing R.I.P my friend."
While Mr Vegas wrote: "Another Great silenced!! R.I.P Frankie Paul!!"
Frankie Paul rose to prominence during the 1980s with songs such as Sarah, Worries in the Dance and I Know The Score.
Last week, Frankie Paul's family was seeking financial assistance for the singer who had been in the hospital since April of this year.
The singer's last interview with IRIE FM was during the E-Buzz on October 5, 2016 with Dj Bones and Kshema Francis. At the time, Frankie Paul spoke about a charity concert to raise funds for his prosthetic leg and his illness.
Frankie Paul's last recording was titled "Alive and Well."

I was massively touched to get this email, the person concerned said:-
I recently purchased two copies of your "Breasts: Sexy, Sacred or Secular?" to give as gifts to my wife's surgeon and radiation oncologist. Yesterday she had a partial mastectomy for breast cancer, and we thought your books would make unique thank-you gifts for people who are so involved in breast cancer treatment at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida USA.
Isn't that touching?

Paranormal Parenting Activity
Being a parent is scary, mostly because children are terrifying, and not just in that nightmarish "standing silently next to your bed in the middle of the night" kind of way…
All sorts of crazy, unpredictable, and unbelievable things happen when you have kids in your life. (You know what they say: Parenting is like a box of chocolates, NOT ALL OF THAT IS CHOCOLATE OMG DON'T EAT IT!)
Not all of it makes sense.

Hey Chowhounders,
So I tried looking for a Father's Day post, but with no luck. It's a bit on the late notice, but I'm just wondering if there are any recommendations for a nice lunch around Dundas Square (more specifcally, the Canon Theatre)? Or perhaps an afternoon tea around 3 or 4pm?
I'm not so concerned about cost, but something that's quiet with a nice atmosphere and good service. I'm also not really looking for anything Father's Day themed, just a nice lunch/afternoon tea sort of thing.

If there was ever any doubt that we are neighbors with the rest of the Pacific Rim, it washed away this week when a large section of dock from Japan came ashore on the Oregon Coast. It is, apparently, the first of the flotsam and jetsam from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
While everyone knew this would happen, it still raised a host of questions.
How did something this big andndash; and obviously a maritime hazard andndash; escape notice until it hit the beach? The ocean is obviously too big to monitor that closely.
What kind of critters and bugs did it bring with it, and are they a hazard? Lots andndash; maybe billions andndash; so the dock was given a thorough cleaning before they could infiltrate our edge of the vast ocean.
Should we be worried? Or is this all a part of a natural process that should be left to Mother Nature? No one knows.
How much more is out there, and when is it coming to our beaches? Since this dock is the first major find, it's very hard to know. This is earlier than first predicted.
Is it radioactive? No, but they tested it right away.
Here's the best advice from NOAA; you can find more at http://marinedebris.noaa.gov/info/japanfaqs.html
Use common sense if you find something on the beach.
If it's normal litter (bottles, cans, buoys), pick it up and trash it. If it looks hazardous andndash; chemicals, something large like the dock, something organic andndash; call 911 to file a report.
If it looks like a personal keepsake that might be returned to its owner in Japan, report it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
And no matter what kind of debris we find from the tsunami disaster, it can all be a very grim reminder that thousands of people died in March 2011, and thousands could die here if and when we have the major earthquake that everyone knows is coming.
