Hi all,
Can you give me an idea of a typical "structure" of a VHF call between friends.
I know most of the lingo, but I want to know if you really say "Over" after every comment to signal the end of that comment?
Hi all,

Among the great unwashed, the difference between VHF and CB has blurred. THey don't hail correctly. Closest they get is something like, "Chuck, you there?" They gossip on 16. And because they don't say over, they sometimes both talk at once, which is ok since they are not listening anyway.
Unless both parties have duplex, say "Over".
Thanks Ian,
I know the proper protocol and how that differs from CB. Just wasn't sure if the etiquette wanes-specifically re: "over"-when it's just between friends/family.
Thanks for the prompt reply!
An example.
Me: Slow motion, slow motion, slow motion this is Sailboat Andrea Lynn, over
Dave: This is slow motion. Switch to 68, over
we both switch to 68 and talk about what ever we are doing e.g. racing, raft up, etc.
Me: Andrea Lynn out.
Dave: Slow motion out.
We switch back to 16 and continue monitoring there.
Occasionaly though we skip the "over" when it's quite obvious that we are through saying something and it's the other's turn to say something back.
What Ian said. According to the USCG Boating Skills and Seamanship, 12th Edition, Chapter 13, page 10:
"OVER"- "This is the end of my transmission and a response is expected. Go ahead, transmit. Omit when clearly not needed"
"OUT"- "This is the end of my transmission to you. No answer is required or expected"

There was supposed to be an earth shattering KABOOM!
Roger Roger, whats yer vector Victor.
Maybe it's the Ham operator in me, but I think proper protocol should always be used. It just makes communication clearer and more accurate, and that after all is the whole point.
One of the great unwashed raises his hand. In a conversation between friends on a proper working channel, "over" would be redundant.
I'm assuming you know that "over and out" should never be used. I usually say "Standing by 16" .
Your protagonist is Canadian as I remember, most non U.S. sailors have little time for the U.S. coast guard, and they, the USCG are amongst the worst abusers of the VHF system. One spectacular example being the fact that they use a working channel, 22 Alpha, that foreign radios don't have.
May the flack begin.
Thanks all.
Now, how about some help re: VHF range?
I found the formula and online line of sight calculators and such, but I don't know about antenna heights and horizon figures and such. So. What could be a possible maximum range for communication via VHF?
No, no different in Canada as far as I know. The other thing you should know is that far offshore, say a 100 miles or so the "no conversation on 16 thing" is generally disregarded, I'm with Ian on this and find that a bad practice. I'll generally "switch".
I'm guessing VHF''s bought in Canada will be of the U.S. type, if it was made within the last couple of years and has DSC it will know when it is entering International waters and will annoyingly beep for the operator to switch it over.
Does your protaganist have a SSB and is he listening to Herb http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Hilgenberg
Gareth, I know about Herb... Yes, he IS listening to Herb.
Single-sideband thingy, right? modulator? transceiver? Would a (poor) salty sailor use one? I guess he would. What do you think?
Hard to answer, as it is due to a combination of transmitter power, antenna height and antenna range.
VHF is generally for short range "local" communications. According to my source mentioned above, the USCG BS&S manual, average ship-to-ship is 10-15 miles, with a handheld VHF tranceiver being considerably less. (ch 13-2)
Bill R
There was supposed to be an earth shattering KABOOM!
Yes SSB's are going out of fashion now, in favour of Iridium Sat phones and internet. Herb is lamenting that he's not as busy as he used to be. So your guy would be right there. The RTW racers are no longer required to have SSB's so it would be a nice touch if your man got his cheap from a distance racer.
You do know that Herb is quite conservative, he'll tell people to hove to, if they're going to encounter more than 25 knots, even if it's from the right direction. He'll get irate when people disregard/disobey his advice. Makes for a lot of fun.

Certain shore stations have amazing range due to high towers, great power and wonderous sensitivity. On the tugs we could talk easily to others up to about 20 miles off but could talk to our NYC base from Buzzards Bay and beyond.
If you monitor 16 you'll often hear the CG side of a chat and not the boat. In Hyannis we can easily hear CG stations from Long Island Sound to Boston, sometimes to Portland. But never the boat.
One of my pet annoyances - actually two interrelated - is the folk who use 16 as a non-emergency call-up frequency in US waters. The other thing, since I've only one radio and scan 09-13-16, is the dinks who want a radio check and don't say who or where they are or what channel they are on.
Then there's the folk who manage to sit on the mike key so we hear their cockpit chatter, the stereo, and other noises too intimate to mention.
This is all very interesting.
So, conversely, what's the best long range solution? Sat phone? Cell?
On a perfectly clear day the normal range of a VHF radio is 10-14 miles, assuming, that the antenna is at the mast head. From a handheld radio you might be pushing the range, assuming 1 or 5 watt radio, to be between 3-5 miles with the radio at deck level. If you double the power of your radio, the maximum increase in signal that you might expect would be 1 "s" unit on the radio. The maximum power for the VHF marine band is 25 watts.
Normal range , for every have a very high gain antenna, like 9 db, you are actually raising the radiation pattern above the horizon and directing the energy upward into the atmosphere. Aboard a boat, a 3-4 db gain antenna should be the most ever used in an omnidirectional pattern.

I can't always help switiching up to listen in on conversations between fishing boats.
"Ya Joe, where you? Ovah."
"'Bout the same place as last week. You? Ovah."
"Maybe five miles south of the other place. Any fortune? Ovah."
"Hardly even a by-catch. You? Ovah."

"You bet. Kara Dawn returning 16."
By Wednesday both boats are easing back at the town dock laden down to the stern ramp. Some think their pessamistic lying is to decieve other fishermen but we know that they were just being sure that the sea gods and goddesses don't overhear and mess them up.
Don't bother with 'over'. When you stop talking it means you're finished. Just keep it short, clear and concise.

So yes. Plenty of folk manage incomplete and actually pointless non-communication by deleting the "over" just as plenty of folk defy spelling and punctuation norms and still imagin they communicate. We who are dyslectic and struggle with it will try everything for clarity. Over.
I heard somewhere that handheld VHFs and masthead antennae can get slightly better reception in a horizontal plane rather than vertical. If so, why?
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
A vertical antenna will emit a vertically polarized signal....when the signal gets 300 wavelengths from the source, the pattern may actually be circular, or twisted. For instand...signals rotate in free space, like a corkscrew.In a fixed short distand, the antenna may radiate a vertically polarized signal......but away from the "action" or in free soace, the signal tends to roll, or corkscrew. At 160 mhz the signal will start corkscrewing at around 100-300 meters from the source. The anomalies in the atmosphere help also.

The language between boats at sea can be colloquial. However, the message between the Coast Guard or another government agency and a vessel will be very formal and succinct, and a situation can often dictate this procedure from anyone.
But as you move down the food chain from there, it can become more casual.
Between professional mariners, fishermen and towboats having a late night gam offshore all bets are off, except - Individuals often use an expression like OK or Aye rather than the formal Over to indicate end of speech and expecting a reply (they know they are using a radio!)
I used to love listening to those guys when I had the middle watch.
They were poets and genius and the best story-tellers (liars) I have ever heard, and they were all anonymous, just a voice in the dark wheelhouse.
Communication between weekend warriors can be absurd - no clue - no rules at all.
Here as an example of formality, is a procedure for radio communication used in search and rescue
My experience suggests that at 5 W power HH VHF's from near-water level are limited to about 3 nm maximum to another similarly-located HH VHF. As a longtime paddler, I know that to reach out in an emergency I have to get to the beach and raise my elevation. Standing on the beach and using a HH 5 W VHF, I've carried on good transmissions with a base station at about 30 ft elevation off an 8 ft whip at a distance of 8-10 miles. Use of the radio while on the beach is not legit except during an emergency; the couple times I have had to do this, neither the USCG nor the CCG cared or asked.
Re: International/Canadian channels vs US channels: every VHF I have owned (including HH's) has had a mode selector which will shift the frequency matrix to each of those choices, as indicated on the display. Isn't this now more or less expecte on new radios?
I never hear "over" locally (Columbia River commercial shipping and barge traffic, primarily; also USCG exchanges with vessels in distress, except for the use of "break" and "break break.") I believe the latter has the same meaning as "over." No idea why "over" is not in use.
Another local usage is this way of clearing a channel after concluding use: "Shipshaft clear; standing by, chanels 16 and 13." This seems a good way to tell everyone you are done with the channel, and which channels you will be monitoring.
When sailing in Herrington Harbor near Deale, MD I would sometimes hear a hail for the St Michaels water taxi. Since that is some 15 - 20 miles away from my location I knew immediately that they were using the 25 watt setting instead of the 5 watt setting like they were supposed to. It was funny.
That's what happens when you let someone that grew up with a CB to have a new toy without any education....they think they need high power to talk over top of everyone else. I would be anchored Poplar Island with the VHF on monitor and the volume turned down, and could not hear the radio at St. Michaels because all the weenies in Annapolis had their radios on the hi power setting.

not as a general rule after 100 wavelengths or thereabouts....however...you can never tell what the orientation will be at your location, sometimes you can hear perfectly well, but it you tilt the antenna, especially with a handheld, you may notice a slight, or not so slight increase or decrease in gain. That's why many commercial systems use antennas with cross or circular polarization, something that you cannot get with a "whip" antenna.

"If you live life right, death is a joke as far as fear is concerned."
Brand name...ICOM is probably the most popular.....
SSB stands for single sideband, developed by a radio amateur named Art Collins, Collins radio......it is a modulation technique where the main carrier is suppressed and one sideband. A radio transmission consists of a signal generated, commonly called the carrier, and then amplitude modulated. The signal of modulation is symetrical around the carrier, resulting in the intelligence or information being transmitted twice at the same time. The Intelligence on the upper sideband comprises 25% of the energy expended in transmitting the signal, the lower sideband is 25 % and the carrier is 50%. Since you only need to transmit the intelligence, special filters or techniques are used to "filter out" the carrier and one sideband. In commercial radios only one sideband is transmitted, but on amateur radios this is selectable. The benefit is that all this signal processing may be done very efficiently at very low levels with a minimal amount of power. When you need to really transmit the signal a long distance you must amplify it. If you use a 200 watt amplifier with conventional "amplitude modulated" signals, only 25% or 50 watts will contribute to the end transmission. By eliminating one sideband and the carrier the entire 200 watts may be used to transmit the information/intelligence. By selecting the proper frequency range and the time of day or night, 200 watts will transmit around the world. A good antenna is half the project. I carried a pair of Icom 735 radios, 100 watts each, o0n my boat around the world, before that a Sideband engineers SB-34 rated at 60 watts. I could reach net control in Hong Kong from anywhere between Hawaii and the Atlantic under good conditions, usually late evenings or during the night.
At night the atmosphere cools, and there is above the earth a layer of ionized air, called the Kennelly-Heaviside Layer...During the day it's usually about 250 miles up...during the night it comes as close as 50 miles, and depending on the frequency, or wavelength of the radio signal, it will bounce between the eart to the Layer, to the eart to the layer on around the world.

On the river tugs, we never used "over." there's a little burst of static when the mic is unkeyed that takes the place of "over." Mind you, witht the handhelds on HI power I had all of 5 watts to broadcast with; on rainy or snowy days, or during sunspot activity,they won't reliably broadcast from the head of the tow back to the boat (1000-1600 ft.). Made me wonder just how well I was really being listened to.

Didn't see a previous thread about this, so I thought I'd take the liberty of starting a new one, since we're no longer in it.
Nice job by the Toffees today, sans Landon, to take care of business. It's obvious he's kick started their season.
Tim Howard is amazing. I'm glad he's OURS! Another well deserved clean sheet for America's number 1 keeper. I find myself watching Everton just to watch him.
If Everton keep winning their should-win games and throw in an upset or two against the big boys, or make it to Wembley, Moyes should be a shoe in for mgr of the year. We should've tried to steal him when Hughes walked. Imagine what he could do with some semblance of a wage budget.

BREAKING NEWS: House Approves Budget Agreement, 332-94
Washington, DC Thursday, December 20, 2012
House Speaker John Boehner pulled the second of his "Plan B" measures due to "lack of support of our members to pass [it]," he said in a statement issued on Thursday.
"Now it is up to the president to work with Senator Reid on legislation to avert the fiscal cliff," the Speaker wrote.
Members were expected to begin debate on H J Res 66, the Permanent Tax Relief for Families and Small Business Act, after passing the Spending Reduction bill. Instead, the Speaker called a meeting to assess support for his measure and then unexpectedly recessed the session. Members later returned to work on unfinished business and hear farewell speeches from retiring representatives.
The House will meet for a pro forma session on Friday at 2pm.
Earlier in the session, the House passed HR 6684, the "Spending Reduction" bill, by a vote of 215 to 209.The first of two measures related to Speaker John Boehner's "Plan B" tax proposal, HR 6684 would put off the sequestration, or automatic spending cuts, for one year, replacing it with other spending cuts.
H J Res 66 would permanently extend the Bush-era tax rates for everyone on the first $1 million of earned income. Those earning more than $1 million would pay a higher tax rate.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had said that Democrats would not vote for Speaker Boehner's "Plan B" proposal. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said he would not bring up the proposal if it passes in the House.
President Obama had vowed to veto "Plan B."

HOF: Tim Raines
December 28th, 2009 | by Ray Flowers |Hall of Fame talk is starting to heat up with the announcement of the 2010 inductees mere days away (January 6th). Some players eligible for the first time include Barry Larkin, Andres Galarraga, Fred McGriff, Edgar Martinez and Roberto Alomar (you can read my thoughts on Alomar in Who Am I?). Other players who return hoping to pick up the required 75 percent vote this season include a host of some of the who's who in the game the past 30 years: Andre Dawson, Bert Blyleven, Lee Smith, Jack Morris, Mark McGwire and Tim Raines. The last name on this list is who I'm going to focus on in this piece.
Long considered the best leadoff man in the National League during his career, Tim Raines had the misfortune of being the second best leadoff hitter in the game when he played. Mind you, there is no reason to hang ones head when you are #2 behind the man widely considered to be the best ever to fill the roll in Rickey Henderson, but clearly Raines falls behind Henderson in almost every way you can possible think of. Here are each man's career bests in the 5×5 categories.
Raines: .334-18-68-133-90
Mind you the numbers are pretty close, but when we move to the realm of their career totals, the gap does widen.
Raines: .294-170-980-1,571-808
Henderson: .279-297-1,115-2,295-1,406
By the way, Henderson scored more runs and stole more bases than any man who ever lived.
Still, like I said at the start, the decision to vote for Raines shouldn't be about Raines vs. Henderson, it should be about how Raines staked up against the competition. In this respect, he did very well.
Raines was named to 7-straight All-Star teams (1981-87).
Raines finished in the top-10 in AVG four times (led league at .334 in 1986).
Raines was top-10 in runs scored eight times (led league twice – 1983, 1987).
Raines led the NL in steals 4-straight years (1981-84). He also finished in the top-10 seven other times.
Raines finished in the top-10 in hits six times.
Raines finished in the top-10 in triples nine times.
Raines finished in the top-10 in OBP seven times (led league in 1986 at .413).
Raines finished in the top-10 in OPS four times.
Obviously Raines was one of the most effective players in the game for the majority of a decade as he enjoyed some tremendous success with the Expos. All told, that success led to some marks that clearly place him amongst the all-time greats that the game has ever seen.
Raines scored 1,571 runs, the 50th best total ever.
Raines produced 2,605 hits, the 73rd best total ever.
Raines stole 808 bases, the 5th best total ever.
Raines produced 1,636 Runs Created, the 53rd best mark ever.
Raines produced a 280.9 Power-Speed Number, the 28th best mark ever.
Yes, Mr. Raines was one hell of a player.
So why has he failed to break even 25 percent in the HOF vote in his first two go round in the voting process? My guess is that Raines fails in the most basic of comparisons – he simply wasn't the best at what he did during his career failing to live up to the impossibly high standards of Henderson. Is that fair? Certainly not. There are a plethora of players enshrined in the Hall who may not have been "the best" when they were playing, just think of the comparison of Yankee teammates Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Should Gehrig have been denied admittance to the Hall since he wasn't even the best player on his team? Of course not.
In the end I have no idea why Raines has gotten such little respect for what he accomplished as he was clearly the best leadoff man in the National League in the 1980′s. It might take a while for Raines to get his due but I certainly hold out hope that one of these years he will be recognized for what he was, and that was one of the best players every to hit atop of a major league lineup.

Texas Foundation To Sell Matisse Bronze Sculptures
As a bit of a consolation prize the Kimbell will receive two other sculptures from the Burnett Foundation, Henry Moore's Figure in Shelter, and Fernand Leger's La Fleur qui Marche. Both of these used to be on the Kimbell lawn and are now in storage while the museum begins preparation for the construction of its new building. The new structure designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop will allow the Kimbell for the first time to exhibit most of its permanent collection while also hosting major special exhibitions and will also add studios, classrooms and an auditorium. That building is set to open in 2013.
Sotheby's will sell the Matisse Backs as a group but a date has not been announced yet. Some speculate that the pieces will go as a group to another museum, perhaps one with deep pockets like the Getty or an omnivorous collector like Roman Abramovich or Eli Broad.

Out of nowhere, a Buffalo Bills player made noise at the Super Bowl. Like everything else involving the team it meant nothing to anyone outside of Bills country. But when Stevie Johnson talked last Friday about his willing failure to annually follow the Bills' off-season workout instructions, we heard. And pondered. And discussed.
I think Johnson made himself look bad by those comments. You don't want to be a slacker, and you especially don't want people to know you're one. Johnson was all but boastful. At the least, he thinks it sounds cool not to try your best. At worst, he believes it is cool. Neither is right.
But it's not him I care about here the most. It's the Bills.
First on Johnson though: Most of us can't from personal experience relate to what's in these workout manuals, or know much about the level of physical conditioning common to most pro athletes. So let's, if it's not too big a stretch, put it into terms most of us can relate to. Let's go back to school.
Johnson, blending his admission with his previous results, comes off as a B-plus student capable of better. But hey, B-plus still is better than most. Good enough to get you into college, give you some options, maybe earn you a small scholarship.
Let's meet another student though. For the heck of it, let's give him a name -- a random name plucked from thin air. How about, oh, Wesley Welker?
Welker is maybe a C student with a bonkers work ethic. His talent takes him only so far but his hard work does the rest.
(In terms of the real Wes Welker, a player who went undrafted, then cut, then traded, we're talking five seasons of at least 1,165 yards and two first-team All-Pro honors. And yes, people who comment on everything, I know who his quarterback is.)
Johnson is being defended by fans on the basis of his being the first Bills receiver in history to have two (let alone three) consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. To me, his good numbers are not an excuse; rather, they're even further a call to criticism. One of the few good players the Bills have did not best prepare himself for any of the last three seasons, and he admits it. Am I supposed to be more bummed out if it's a backup safety here? I need Johnson to set good examples, and I need him at his best for that is how games are won in sports -- by the performances of your best players. He matters.
As if consecutive seasons as good as Johnson's means anything on a league-wide scale. In 2011 Johnson ranked 19th in receiving yards, and in 2012 he ranked 18th. That means about half the teams had someone that did better.
How would Chan Gailey respond to all this, if he didn't know it already? Thanks a lot, Stevie. How might Russ Brandon react, himself not only the Bills' CEO but also once an undersized college wide receiver? How much money are we paying him, again?
Johnson is now an established good player, a veteran. He's someone whose lead new young players will follow. Is the refusal to follow the team's off-season instructions -- and the brazen act of touting it publicly -- what the Bills want from a leader?
Their actions will tell us.
Players come and go. We only attach to them because they play for our teams. So it's not Johnson that matters here, it's what the Bills do about a player who found it appropriate to tell the world that when it comes to preparing himself for upcoming seasons that he's bigger than the team.
If I'm a football fan in Baltimore or San Francisco I'm laughing out loud. Thank goodness for teams like ours, I'd think, that there are low-standard teams like Buffalo.
And if I'm Doug Marrone, I'm putting a stop to that yesterday. Because now that reflects on me.
If you're trying to get a team of football players to "buy in" as the saying goes, you can't have leaders sloughing off. In my opinion Marrone needs to make this clear. If he does it by straightening out Stevie Johnson in a way that restores Johnson's credibility, great. If he does it by trading Johnson, I may not agree with it but at least I'd respect it.
Marrone may or may not understand the depths to which the Bills have sunk. It's possible that as a first-time NFL head coach he's starry-eyed even by arguably the league's lowliest franchise. It's also possible that as a rookie he's not inclined to ruffle feathers. And there's a good chance he thinks his ability to develop players and out-maneuver opponents on game days will alone make him a winner. That's how coaches are.
But I'd like to see him go further. I don't want to have to wonder this season whether key players on the team don't think enough of its place in the league to give their all. I want to assume that they are. I don't see how the Bills, a small-market relic of a franchise, can win any other way.
And what Johnson said Friday is yet another example of why success last came around so very, very long ago.

I bought this ring as a wedding ring and it was really small and dainty. It weighs nothing! Don't do it., Save your money and buy something worth your money.
This small, pretty ring is very delicate and is perfect for me, I don't like flash and I have been wanting a pretty diamond ring for awhile. I got married with my husband's mother's ring, and it's pretty, but very very plain and is a soft 24k gold band, so I can't really wear it daily. I wanted something to say "married" but not something that would catch and rip my kid's hair out when I was combing through it. it is like a petite magical princess ring.
My husband got me this ring and I absolutely Love it! It's small, but very sparkely and quite pretty. Dainty, if you will. Definetely says "I'm married." But isn't big and gaudy. Not "fake" looking. Totally satisfied, perfect for this price range.
The ring set arrived right on time. Looks exactly like the picture and everything is what we paid for. Very sparkly set. I am happy with our choice in this set over a band. Every describes it as "very sweet". Perfect for small hands.
I asked for gift wraping and all I got was was a ring box in a brown box. No wrap but there was a note stating gift wraped for you by M**** C
Really impressive and quality really good very impressive and got the message across she loved it that and the price are awesome
I got a size 6.5 and it looks really good. I didn't want a bulky ring...I work with kids and I'm a mom so I'm constantly on the go and did not want something that would snag on things or I have to worry about when doing various activities. Kind of small but the prefect size for someone who doesn't want a flashy ring and has a busy lifestyle.

text: by Elizabeth Ruiz San Antonio police are asking for your help in the search for an elderly man who's been missing for nearly 3 months. Officer Matt Porter told 550 KTSA News that 75-year-old Florentino Gutierrez was last seen November 1 in the Woodlawn Lake area. "He's 5-foot-9, approximately 170 pounds. He has brown eyes and collar-length gray hair,' said Porter. Gutierrez also has a mustache and a goatee and his right eye has a slight deformity. "The Missing Persons Unit has exhausted all of its leads and is asking for public assistance, at this point," said Porter. Gutierrez reportedly chose to live on the streets, but kept in contact with family members. However, no one has heard from him since November 1. Anyone with information is asked to contact the police department's Missing Persons Unit at 207-7660.

Canton tops Yazoo City for district title
By JOFFRE WASHINGTON
For the Herald
The atmosphere for the District 3-5A championship game this past Friday between the Yazoo City Indians and the Canton Tigers was at an all-time high. With the district title on the line as well as the chance to host a first round North State game, the third meeting between the two rivals was guaranteed to be a barn-burner.
The game stayed close for a half, but the Tigers rallied in the third quarter to steal the game's momentum en route to a 50-39 victory. With the win, Canton gets to stay at home Tuesday and will host the Oxford Chargers. The Indians (21-9) traveled to Columbus to face the New Hope Trojans.

"Hooray for WV for keeping within a budget"
To my knowledge Todd has never reported a News stories about any West Virginia lottery budget problems so your remarks about this article are not even close to being defined as hyperbole. Bet you added the juvenile smilies to make this response about the article appear even more lame than your last two.
If you were not so pretentious and condescending, you would understand that my hyperbole was directed at Government in general.
Government at every level does not function in a fiscally sound manner.
Juvenile and lame would be most descriptive of your personal attack on me!
dpoly1 - Playing the lottery to save the jobs of those that build, transport, sell & maintain luxury items! -
Eschew Poverty ........... Vote Conservative!
I would be quite pleased with a $56,025,000 wire transfer from the Pennsylvania Lottery next week!
Green with money is the way to go ......................
I concur with dpoly1 "Government at every level does not function in a fiscally sound manner." and this is true no matter HOW you define 'fiscally sound'!!!
"If you were not so pretentious and condescending, you would understand that my hyperbole was directed at Government in general."
If the topic was government in general, I wouldn't have commented, but this article is about a state lottery that has a $81 million surplus.
"Government at every level does not function in a fiscally sound manner."
That may or may not be true, but there are plenty of other places where that subject can be debated. You won't find any state lotteries running in the red so that type of remark is unrelated in a thread about one state lottery showing a surplus on a message board with lottery related topics.
"Juvenile and lame would be most descriptive of your personal attack on me!"
It's common for people that can't take constructive criticism try to pretend to be the victim and that too is unrelated to the topic. Are you one of those posters that because you can't relate to a topic, try to turn it into your personal soapbox?
Bet you're not aware of the fact many years ago the West Virginia Lottery (an agency of the government) partnered with the horse racing industry and placed a few video poker, keno, and other video gaming machines at WVA racetracks and shared the profits. Over the years the number of machines expanded and today each track has a full service Vegas type casino. The horse racing industry that was the bottom of the barrel is now thriving.
If the statement you're agreeing with is true, how do you account for the $81 million surplus?
I was congratulating WV for running the WV Lottery in the Black!
While commenting on the general state of fiscal irresponsibility at every level of Government.
You remain pretentious and condescending .......................................................................... typical liberal ...............................
Hey DP! Good luck with MM tomorrow evening. How's your health situation doing? Hope all is well.
Thank you! My health has been terrible. Our only activity this summer was a Pirates game. I didn't make it past the third inning. They took me to first aid for oxygen. COPD (from industrial exposure) is an incidious disease. Humidity has been off the charts here along with record temps. A nice win would help me out. Best wishes to you!
I'm very sorry to hear DP. I'm familiar with with this condition, and it must be a challenge to just go through the every day routines.
I've heard oxygen therapy and exercise programs are beneficial, hopefully their coming up with some new drugs to counteract.
Hope you get your big win soon!
Take care my friend!
Thank you, you are most kind!
I don't qualify for oxygen, but it really helps ............. so, I keep playing
I do try to make the best of each day though ............ it is the only way that I have made it through 26 years of illness .............
Just dreamin' about Saturday's Powerball and the approximately $56,025,000 wire transfer for a Pennsylvania winner .............. I still just play for fun .............
best wishes to all LP members .........
"I was congratulating WV for running the WV Lottery in the Black!"
Three days later and you still haven't read the article. It gives some of the reasons why the lottery had a surplus "We had anticipated that the competition from Ohio would have accelerated and come on board in December. It did not start until June," and "Musgrave said West Virginia's tracks also benefited from the mild winter." Simply put, they underestimated the amount of lottery revenues and you're congratulating them for being wrong.
The Pennsylvania Lottery had net revenues of $955 million which is about 50% higher than WV.
"While commenting on the general state of fiscal irresponsibility at every level of Government."
Can't give your comment on "fiscal irresponsibility" any credibility when it's a known fact you're prone to make comments on articles you haven't read or can't comprehend. Your comments are totally unrelated to state lotteries in general because everyone of them is running in the Black.
"You remain pretentious and condescending"
Because I read the article, you didn't, and I pointed out why your comments were unrelated to it?
If you want to discuss non-lottery stuff, get a gold or premium membership and start a blog.
"typical liberal "
Wrong again and probably why you always pick the wrong numbers and never win the lottery. Nothing wrong about buying a couple of tickets and dreaming, well worth the price, but if you want to win the lottery, making off topic remarks won't help you accomplish that.
I expect you to stop your personal attack on me!
If you want to engage in personal attacks, kindly blog on an MSNBC Blog!
Your lack of respect and inability to comprehend post-secondary rhetoric is sophomoric at best.
Todd will decide if I my posts are inappropriate, not you.
"I expect you to stop your personal attack on me!"
This isn't your grade school playground where you just make up any accusation hoping the playground monitor will take your word for it.
From the Lottery Post rules:
"No thread hijacking: Stick to the topic. If you want to post something unrelated to a particular discussion thread, then start a new topic in the appropriate forum."
"No personal attacks. Criticize ideas, not people."
I criticized the fact you went off topic by making a lame remark and using large bold font won't change the fact you did and won't prove you were personally attacked. Maybe on your playground you could change the rules saying after three strikes you're out, but here you tried to change the rules, were called out, and can't take the criticism.
You're not the only one that went off topic on in this thread, but are the only one that can't take constructive criticism and continues off topic by making absurd and false accusations of personal attacks.
Have anything factual or constructive to add to this discussion?
Probably not.

-Mosquito Lagoon Show and Tell Fishing Seminar, MINWR, March 2; On-the-Water Show and Tell Seminar, March 3
Monday- Tom Van Horn invited me to accompany him on a fishing trip to the St. Johns River. We launched at CS Lee Park. It was good. We used the 1.5 inch Creme Spoiler Shad to good success, catching shad, crappie, bluegills, and redbellies. I also used the bamboo to get a bunch of fish. Don't get to use that rod very often. We saw Ron Presley out there, they were doing well too. We had a good time.
On Tuesday Walt and Walt (Capt. Walt Czekaj, runs a fishing boat on Long Island, http://captreefishfinder.com/) joined me for some Mosquito Lagoon fishing. It was steady if unspectacular all day, with plenty of shots at big seatrout and tailing redfish. The fish weren't very bitey, but we got several of each, both on fly (small white Clouser Minnow) and on the DOA Shrimp. It was a good day.
Wednesday Capt. Chris Myers invited me for a day's Mosquito Lagoon fishing. There were lots of tailing redfish. It was hard getting a bite. I had a crab pattern and a shrimp pattern in them several times without success. We did get some on a bunny strip fly that Chris tied. We were off the water at about 1 PM
Thursday Tom Van Horn joined me for some Indian RIver Lagoon scouting. We looked in Dummit Cove to Black Point, to the west side of the IRL between the Praxaire plant and Little Flounder Creek, and on the east side between the golf ball and Haulover Canal. Save yourself some time and trouble and go fish elsewhere. We hardly saw anything.
We went through the canal and looked in a couple spots in the Mosquito Lagoon. At the last one we found a few reds, a bunch of nice trout, and one flounder that Tom fooled with a jerkbait. Even though you don't often see the words "flounder" and "catch and release" in the same sentence, he let the fish go.
Friday fly caster Jim Coraci from the Garden State joined me for a Mosquito Lagoon half day. The weather, as it has been most of the week, was spectacular. The tailing reds were out in force, and, like Wednesday, were very hard to catch. Jim did get a slot fish on a crab pattern. He followed it up with a seatrout on a minnow pattern.
Son Alex met me at CS Lee Park for a couple hours of shad fishing. They were chasing minows. In spite of trying all kinds of flies I could not get one. Alex got two on a pink microjig. I did get a nice striper/sunshine bass on a black wooly worm, the first I've ever gotten in Florida. We also got assorted sunfish and a small largemouth bass. There were a lot of people out enjoying the day.
Saturday fly fisher Chad Wiersma, from Seattle, joined me for some Mosquito Lagoon fly fishing. It was slick calm. The redfish were tailing. They had their radar on. In spite of lengthening the leader, using smaller, lighter flies, going even more slowly than I usually do, etc., we did not get a bite from a redfish. He had two seatrout eat and missed both strikes. Ouch. A sad thing, a fishless day.
And that is this week's exciting version of the Orlando Area Saltwater Fishing Report.
Life is great and I love my work!
Life is short. Go Fishing!

Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) 6 Released
Kevin Fenzi, one of release-engineers for Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) and long time member of the EPEL Fedora Special Interest Group (SIG) discusses the EPEL 6 release.
The Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) project is announces the release of EPEL 6. The EPEL project is a volunteer-based community effort originating from the Fedora project. EPEL creates a repository of add-on packages that complement the Fedora-based Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its compatible spin-offs, such as CentOS and Scientific Linux. Since the EPEL is part of the Fedora packaging community, its packages are 100% free/libre open source software (FLOSS).
EPEL 6 features include rt3 (The Request Tracker Bug and Ticket tracking system, as well asit's 90 perl packages dependencies), trac (Project management system, along with many plugins), haproxy, varnish and lighttpd proxies and web servers, backupPC, rdiff-backup and other backup clients, a large stack of Ruby packages, spamassassin plugins, clamav and other mail server and filtering solutions, rkhunter and chkrootkit security scanners, collectd, munin, nagios and cacti monitoring solutions, over 600 perl packages and more.
Fenzi tells Linux Pro Magazine Online that the ability to leverage a collection of high quality, well maintained packages ready to be used on those platforms are but a few of the benefits EPEL brings to RHEL, CENTOS, and Scientific Linux Users. "Additionally," Fenzi says, "the ability to join our community and help maintain or fix those packages. So, you can collaborate with all the other users of that software and save time, money and effort.
When asked, "What served as the catalyst for this project?" Fenzi responded "The EPEL project was born when Fedora maintainers realized that the same infrastructure that builds and maintains packages would be great to also maintain add on packages for RHEL. Much of the early need was driven by what Fedora infrastructure needed on the RHEL machines that built and maintained Fedora. From there things have grown to a large collection of varied packages."
This is a community based project and there are some Red Hat developers who are working on EPEL; however, Fenzi stated as far as he knew they [the Red Hat developers] were working on EPEL in their own time not as part of their jobs.
Fenzi says what excites him most about the EPEL project on both personal and professional level is the company he works for makes extensive use of EPEL packages, so it's helpful to them on a day to day basis. "I will be excited when the Xfce desktop packages are all in EPEL. We don't have them in now at launch to allow time to update to the newly released released 4.8 version. I'm happy to see packages I maintain used widely and others contributing to them," he added.
"We are a very open project and welcome any new contibutors," says Fenzi about the EPEL Community, "and getting involved is as easy as joining the mailing list and the #epel IRC channel on freenode.net."
