Learning Drupal Fundamentals
Many of you already know what a huge Drupal fan I am, but on October 19th I am going to show you. I hope you'll join me for a two hour online class about the fundamentals of building a Drupal site. This class is ideal for those of you who are just getting started using Drupal, or who are curious about why and how you should use it. As I am sure you know, Drupal is behind some pretty large-scale web sites and applications, and you've probably spent some time visiting Drupal sites such as Ubuntu.com and SpreadFirefox.com. I'll show you the basics of getting a Drupal site up and running so you can start on the path to use Drupal's flexibility for your own projects.
Since many of you have your own open-source projects to promote and support, but may not be as well-versed in web development, I will create an open-source project site for the Billix distribution to demonstrate site building. When you'd like to expand beyond your SourceForge page, you can turn to Drupal.
Drupal Fundamentals
Drupal is a leading content management platform used to build everything from small-scale blogs to major media and government agency sites, as well as complex enterprise applications. We'll show you how to put its power and flexibility to use on your own project. This online class will cover the basics of building a Drupal site, including essential module selection, configuration, and theme selection and modification. Using an open-source project site as an example, we will go through the major points essential to getting your first Drupal site online. We will demonstrate installation, basic architecture, content types, content display and layout.

I'd also like to thank our sponsor, Codero, for helping to make the class possible.

Can't find it on the link given.
Thank you I await for that intro to drupal. I recently started using it in my Ubuntu desktop. I know it is server sided and I am a little nervous of what to expect upon running it on a hosted site. I know in ubuntu I usually go to localhost/drupal6, but what will happen upon installing it on a hosted site. I hope that upon going to a website drupal will take people directly to the index page. Little nervous specially since my boss wants me to learn it and put content in production very soon.
its easy
when you place it on your hosted site just install it to your root html directory and then edit your .htaccess file to make index.php your directory root page instead of index.htm etc.
there are some great tutorials here as well http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast
Please record :D

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Book facts
"Mercury: An Intimate Biography of Freddie Mercury" by Lesley-Ann Jones (Touchstone) 350 pages, $26 "40 Years of Queen" by Harry Doherty (St. Martin's) 92 pages, $35 |
If you've been looking for the book that answers the question "What world-famous pop star named Farrokh Bulsara was born into a Parsee family in Zanzibar?", then look no further. That and every other fact of Freddie Mercury's over-the-top life are now related in a biography by Lesley-Ann Jones.
If you never thought of him as Zanzibarian, that's because Mercury went out of his way to keep his origins a secret. His early years can't have been easy: When he was 8, his parents sent him to boarding school in India. As a teenager there, he formed his first band, the Hectics, but when his grades slipped, he returned to Zanzibar to finish high school. After he moved to England and became a success, relatives and schoolmates complained that Bulsara (wanted nothing to do with them.
In London, his great pal was Reginald Kenneth Dwight, who also took on the name of a Roman god when he became Elton Hercules John. Both were devoted to their mothers, both studied piano at an early age, both were bothered by their appearance and developed an outlandish look to disguise self-perceived ugliness. And each, writes Jones, "was confused to say the least about his sexuality."
Fortunately, Mercury was anchored throughout his career by bandmates who would have appeared able and intelligent in any profession, particularly in the anarchic world of rock 'n' roll. The other three members of Queen were honors students at different universities. In the words of one observer, "They genuinely liked each other's company" and thus avoided the rifts that fractured many bands.
Not that they were choirboys. One album-release party that "could only be described as an orgy" featured "drag queens, fire-eaters and female mud-wrestlers, strippers and snakes, steel bands, voodoo dancers, Zulu dancers, hookers, groupies, and grotesques, some performing unimaginable and possibly illegal acts on ... each other."
Fans looking for more on the band's nothing-succeeds-like-excess lifestyle will relish Harry Doherty's "40 Years of Queen." It's a coffee-table book described as "an official publication ... approved at every stage by the band." Doherty's prose is less frank than Jones', but his book's lavish photos do a better job of conveying the antics of that crazy time.
Freddie spent many of his nights prowling the gay districts of the world's capitals. He may have been infected with AIDS before the disease had been identified. He was diagnosed in 1987 and died in 1991, and he and the band continued to work together to the very end.
Like most rock bios, "Mercury" tells a lot about the musician and not much about the music. Jones toured with Queen and had unrivaled access to them and their circle; her best quality as a journalist is the way she spotlights the canny assessments of industry insiders. Future fans may or may not decide that "Bohemian Rhapsody" is little more than a six-minute oddity, but few groups have seen their hits cross over the way Queen has: "We Will Rock You" was adopted as an anthem by both the New York Yankees and the Manchester United soccer club, and "We Are the Champions" seems destined to be sung in sports arenas forever.
While details remain fuzzy, there is talk of a biopic in the works starring Sacha Baron Cohen in the title role. The king of comedy as the queen of camp: that seems royally right.

All this money wasted on traffic control systems. Millions and millions of dollars. They should consider this - experiments have been conducted in many cities in Europe, when traffic lights are eliminated, intersections become dramatically SAFER and FASTER. They also look better, save fuel, carbon emissions (if you're into that) and decrease wait time. We can keep dumping money into this pit for the benefit of the traffic control companies - OR - we can learn from cities that have tried this.

Founding Farmers - DC
Online Reservations
This is my third visit, and continues the trend of fabulous food, good service, and friendly surroundings. I will definitely be returning, and encouraging my friends to do so!
Loved the meatless bacon burger! My friend with numerous food allergies had no problem. The waitress was very knowledgable and helpful in making sure her needs were met. The booth at the bar was very noisy, but not as loud as other places I've been. Hope our next visit they will have dill pickles, not just sweet. And, please have a couple vegan desserts.... Highly recommend. Also, make reservations, they are busy!
My husband and I have been wanting to go here for a while but have never been able to get the time, or remember to make a reservation far enough in advance to go, so when my Mom and sister came in to town it was our perfect opportunity to do so. I can definitely say that FF lives up to its hype in the food department! Although I was disappointed that the ppt pie and pot roast were sold out by the time we got there, the prime rib and salad I shared with my mom was amazing and perfectly cooked, not to mention our great starters and drinks! My husband's rib eye was amazing too and I loved how generous the portion sizes were for the price! My only complaint was the 20min wait time past our reservation. Overall:Awesome meal!
Been here for lunch and dinner about 5 times. My guests and I invariably rate the food as excellent or even outstanding (fresh, really tasty, nicely presented). The diverse menu is great too, with something to please everyone. The only reason I don't come here all the time has to do with the fact that they aren't perfectly set up to handle the crowds at peak times -- reservations are hard to get; at peak times they have problems managing the crowds at the front door and (if you are here on a business lunch) that can be somewhat annoying; and service can be erratic (one time is great, next time we're there, we can't even find our server for a long time). Definitely worth going to, and you will enjoy the meal.
Parents from the Midwest came to visit and it was a good place for them. Food was good and drinks were unique. Arrived a little early and they were able to accommodate.
If you are looking for a fun and exciting menu selection then Founding Farmers is your restaurant! We loved the unique menu offerings and the food was very good. We also all had plenty to take home for left overs which is always a great treat. The service was fast and with a smile and the prices were very reasonable.
Had an early dinner, very nice. A good selection of wines by the glass; some spiced popcorn to nibble while waiting, then quick service for burgers and a vegetarian cauliflower steak - a little less cooked than cauliflower should be, but a nice pesto on top and red sauce on the bottom. Servers were prompt, helpful, and smiling. We've eaten here at least a dozen times, and it's always been great. Don't forget to get reservations! Otherwise the wait can be a bit long during peak times.
The plate of turkey and vegetables was beautiful and tasty - all 5 or 6 vegetables and stuffing were delicious and the turkey was good. But the desserts were the low point. My pecan pie was cloyingly sweet and had a terrible color and texture. Others commented that their pies weren't the best either. Too bad because otherwise it was a lovely traditional Thanksgiving dinner with a great prix fixe!
T-day...big plates, great food, fast service, good wine, great company, lucious deserts...I even liked the brussel sprouts!
The food was amazing and the service impeccable - even on a super busy holiday! I can't say enough about Founding Farmers and what a memorable meal this was. Highly recommended!
We totally enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner. It was so tasty and generous portions. The service was great. We all loved the traditional flavors of our favorite Thanksgiving foods.
My family and I decided to put tradition on hold this year and go on a sight seeing vacation in Washington D.C. I searched the internet for places for thanksgiving dinner and decided to try the founding farmer due to proximity to my hotel. The service was excellent. Even with a packed house they made sure a server was always present to make sure you had everything you wanted. The restraint itself is what I would call Neo-Farm house. The food was excellent. I didn't like everything but I don't like everything at a thanksgiving dinner anyway. The best thing on the plate was the turkey. So juicy and delicious. We were there for almost 2 hours. Each course was always served promptly yet we never felt like we were being rushed.
Made our reservation well in advance and arrived a few minutes early. They seated us within a couple of minutes. Fortunately we were seated upstairs where I find it to be quieter than the main level, although every time someone opened the front door, the cold came right up to our table. The servers were extremely pleasant, as usual, and a bit festive which was nice considering they were working on a family holiday. The food was good and I was happy to have choices that meant I wasn't stuck with turkey. They had a plateful of sides that automatically came with the meal and, if you didn't like something, they would leave it off the plate and fill it with the others so you still had a nice portion. I always enjoy Founding Farmers.
Jovial atmosphere, servers seem genuinely happy to be working here, which results in upbeat, knowledgeable service. The food is of very high quality, locally sourced (with no preachiness), and well-balanced flavors. Portions are generous, but not frighteningly large. The warm cast-iron cornbread skillet with honey butter is great to share. I rarely order salads at restaurants, but here the clean, lively flavor of the greens tossed with perfectly-balanced vinaigrettes, beets, and roasted nuts are not to be missed. The butternut squash and sage ravioli, turkey sandwich, and even the vegan meatloaf, which admittedly sounds dubious, are all excellent. The chocolate cake indeed tastes like chocolate (many do not) and is satisfying. Great spot!
I setup a surprise birthday dinner for my brother here and it was the perfect spot for a group of 14. Great food and drinks and solid service.
Visiting from out of town and friend recommended Founding Farmers. Menu looked good so I made two reservations one for dinner and one for breakfast. So glad we did. Food was excellent and staff was very nice. Now I just need to get my hands on the red velvet pancake recipe.
Great food at an area of DC that is near the White House. k street and a brisk but pleasant walk to DuPont Circle. Wonderful concept of all farm fresh food locally sourced and all prepared right there nothing processed. And it was open the day after Thanksgiving. has great hours.
I love dining at Founding Farmers but their reception area is always overcrowded and uncomfortable. We had to wait 10 minutes just to check-in for our reservation. The team should look at arranging the entry way, because almost ever time I go to Founding Farmers there is an uncomfortable wait in the waiting room, almost always behind schedule. Staff is generally pleasant about it, which is a plus.
Founding Farmers is the perfect place to host out of town guests. The menu is just foodie enough, but still readable so everyone feels comfortable here. I think one would be hard pressed to find better service anywhere in the District. Dining at Founding Farmers makes you feel as though you've been invited to dinner at the very hip home of kind Midwestern farmers--they're happy, friendly, welcoming, and most importantly, serving you their very best bounty.
Love the food every time I come. There is something for everyone on the menu. Unfortunately, every time I come even though i have a reservation my party has to wait before being seated. This time we waited between 20-30 minutes after our reservation time. And this happened the last time I had a reservation too. It's frustrating, and it has happened enough that you would think they would figure out a way to change their system. Once you are seated the service is usually good and the wait staff is friendly. And the chicken pot pie is delicious...
My wife, our adult kids, and I came here for brunch. The food was great with a diverse selection and ample portion sizes. Shrimp and grits was too watery for my tasted, but other than, no food complaints. If you like spicy drinks (I do), try the Bloody Mary. The glass rim has a blend of spices which (I think) includes celery salt, pepper, and chili powder. We were seated in a booth near the front door on a cold day and unfortunately, people were not using the revolving door to keep the warmth in, so we would get frequent blasts of cold air. Still, we had a great time.
My parents visited from out of town and I took them to Founding Farmers. I had been here years ago for lunch and remembered enjoying it so I thought I'd try it again with my parents. We all really enjoyed our meals (rotiserre chicken, straw & hay pasta, and butternut squash ravioli) we also tried their cornbread which is more like a corn casserole than just straight up cornbread, either way though it was delicious. We especially enjoyed the honey in the butter, delicious! Our server was fantastic, very helpful and attentive. The only complaint we had was that it was chilly at our table, so much we had to wear our coats. We didn't let our server know so maybe it could have been resolved. All in all my parents loved it!
We had a big group and they accommodated us very well. Food and service was wonderful as always.
The food was fabulous, however I would be hesitant to go back because of the poor service and long wait. I definitely would not go back on a weekend night.
Our Missouri guests called their brunch selections outstanding, a perfect farmer's breakfast. My Italian husband ate Yankee pot roast for the first time and found it delicious. I found the butternut squash ravioli excellent as usual. But best of all was the outstanding service. We would like to praise the enthusiastic GWU freshman who seated us and the lovely young woman server who was efficient, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant was packed, the day after Thanksgiving, but all employees were calm, unflustered, efficient, and polite.
This was by far the best breakfast I´ve tasted in the US. Fresh food and really good quality.
Very nice establishment. A bit loud due to the huge bar on sight which as the night goes on makes for some crowsing issues. Food was very tasty.
I give it a great rate, but not outstanding because the brunch selection I ordered ran out (Mushroom, cheese tart) when the server placed my order @ 1:30 pm. I ordered my second choice - Stuffed French Toast with strawberries and cream. It was delicious.
We wanted to take our newlywed friends out to dinner and decided on Founding Farmers. While my boyfriend and I had not dined there before, the newlyweds were regulars. The service was great and the food was delicious. We ordered small plates of the fried green tomatoes and cornbread. The cornbread was so scrumptious with morsels of sweet corn embedded. For our entrees, I had the crabcakes and my boyfriend had the chicken and waffles. Not only did he clean his plate, he ate my leftovers! The serving sizes were plentiful as I definitely could not eat my entire entree. We also had a great sauvignon noir from an Australian vineyard...very very good. All in all, it was a great experience and we definitely plan on coming back.
Lots of healthy choices that do not compromise on taste. I highly recommend trying Founding Farmers restaurant!
The Yankee pot roast was so tender I never needed the knife. The vegetables were fresh and expertisely prepared. The roasted corn was the best my wife has ever had. It was just a sensational experience and your sodas were delicious.
We have decided to make this our Saturday after Thanksgiving tradition! The Bloody Marys are delicious, the bourbon selection is extensive and the food is heavenly! We have to remember reservations early though. The list fills up fast at FF and we particularly like this location.
The service was phenomenal! Our waitress took a lot of time with us, even though we were a large group. I ordered the traditional breakfast and the flavor of the leeks in it was too strong for me, but I tasted everyone else's meal and most of the food was great! Definitely order the Pastrami hash and the Beignets!
When you 1st sit down, order a Deep Blue Sea. When it arrives, whatever else is happening just gets better.
My experience was good as a first time patron. The wait area could be improved, but the service from the door staff was pleasant. The server was busy assisting a larger table so another server started our drinks and appetizers. Overall I was pleased with the food and would try it again.
A reason...this place is good! It was my third time here and hubby's first. The first two times I thought my meal was okay but I think I ordered the wrong dishes for my preferences. We got the starter salad and I ordered the vegan cauliflower steak and both were yummy. Must order corn bread - it melts in your mouth. Would definitely go back soon.
Have tried to dine here for awhile - reservations are essential. Locally grown fresh food - one of the best hamburgers I've had in years. Really interesting décor, mostly Prohibition era and a great bar. Portions are hearty, not overwhelming. Summer is crazy with lots of outdoor dining - not to be missed if you're looking for a comfortable, interesting place to people-watch.
I finally had the opportunity to go to Founding Farmers after 1.5 years in DC. It was absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic! While I wasn't crazy about the crab cakes and my uncle's ribs were not mind-blowing, the rest of the food was perfect! The chicken and waffles is most notable! It is quite noisy though so I don't recommend bringing people hard or hearing - or you can request to sit upstairs where it is quieter. The beer and cocktails were very tasty as well.
The noise level was extrmeely loud. However, it is worth it since the food and service were so outstanding!
Great food, appetizer was delivered in record time however dinner was a bit on the slow side. Drinks are pricy as well.
The flat breads are amazing and the ahi poke tuna salad is terrific.
Have yet to have anything at Founding Farmers that was not delicious! From the original drinks to the hearty menu, I have alwasy enjoyed my meal.
A great experience. Having dined at the Founding Farmers in MoCo a few times for brunch, I was excited to try the dinner selection - and it was wonderful all around...as always!
We were a group of 24 women and everyone had a great time - food was wonderful, the service was great - friendly and no hassles about splitting checks, and the tables are comfortable. thanks
The food and service was very good but it's the second time i bring a group of 5-6 people and we have to wait for at least 30 min before getting a table despite the fact that we made a reservation and were waiting for just one person . This is very uncomfortable and should be improved.
Great food at a very reasonable price. Would def go back
We had two meals at this restaurant.Both were very enjoyable good choice of food on the menu good drink Selection .Portions were very generous in size and the staff were thoughtful and helpful. Go there if you are ever in DC you will not be disappointed ,
Every time I go to DC I have to eat here. The food is always great and the atmosphere charming.
I went to dinner with my husband and young daughter. The server was super friendly and took time to answer our questions. Everything we ordered was wonderful. My husband had beef and I had fish and both were fresh and delicious. Definitely save room for dessert- my daughter had a chocolate shake and it was awesome. I would definitely recommend Founding Farmers, for the dining experience and in support of their mission.
The ethics of eating naturally, locally, and sustainably have rarely seen better. The place is beautiful, the crowd fun, the food delicious and varied (from hamburgers and chili to grilled fish to steaks and great salads and veggie options), and the people warm and true believers in what they do. Hard to get in, it's so popular. Go late, after Kennedy Center or something. Do not miss it.

Faculty Excellence at UMUC
Faculty Interview
Nicole Lynch
Hear the audio clip on building enthusiasm and community. (1:49)
Interviewer: | Please tell us about yourself—what made you decide to teach at UMUC? What kind of work do you do when you are not teaching at UMUC? Are there any life experiences that have influenced your teaching at UMUC? If so, please share one story. |
Nicole Lynch | Prior to joining UMUC, I completed a three-year NIH post-doctoral fellowship with the University of Maryland Medical School at Baltimore, had three young children, and taught online classes. I was torn between the love for my career and the love for my family. Teaching for UMUC offered me both a career and the flexibility of being present at home with my young children. My stepsister had been teaching at UMUC for several years and she spoke highly of the academic rigor and integrity of teaching online for UMUC. I applied and was hired to teach at UMUC over five years ago. UMUC has been a great fit for me professionally and personally. Like our students, I balance a career, parenting, and community responsibilities. My three sons are involved in many sports and educational pursuits that keep me busy outside of the online classroom. Additionally, I am very passionate about volunteering in my children's public school and currently serve on the PTA Executive Committee as VP of Health & Environment. In previous years, I served as VP of Academic Affairs and as PTA Co-President. |
Interviewer: | How would you describe your teaching style or philosophy? What experiences or person(s) have influenced your style or philosophy? |
Nicole Lynch | My teaching philosophy can be summed up in the words of William Butler Yeats, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." It is my passion to create a learning community that inspires life-long learning and encourages perseverance. To develop this environment in the online classroom I strive to be accessible and to communicate clearly using innovative teaching resources. I encourage students to make course material relevant to their life through practical application. My mother has been a community college instructor for 40 years and I loved learning about the positive impact she had on her students' lives. As I grew up, her students would frequently stop us in public places and tell me about the difference my mother made in their lives. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to follow in her footsteps and make a difference in the lives of adult learners. |
Interviewer: | What do you think it is about your teaching style that appeals to students? |
Nicole Lynch | First, I am accessible. Students often comment that they appreciate my prompt response to questions as this encourages continued momentum in completing assignments. Second, the videos and podcasts that I create of me talking about our assignments and introducing course topics allow students to see the human side of an online professor. I think the use of multimedia can give students a sense of connecting to their professor while appealing to various learning styles. Finally, my approach in teaching courses is driven by academic content and practical application. In EDCP 100: Principles and Strategies for Successful Learning, I challenge students to examine their values and skills to promote personal success as a student. While in Gerontology classes, I challenge students to apply health theories not only to the aging population, but also to their personal health. The relationship between health, productivity, and life satisfaction often becomes a memorable part of our conference discussion because the course information is relevant to the student's life. |
Interviewer: | Do you teach face-to-face, online, or both? Do you have a preference between teaching face-to-face and online? If so, please explain. |
Nicole Lynch | I teach online.I do not have a preference. I see the benefits of both methods of delivery and love that in this digital age we can offer choices and flexibility for our students. |
Interviewer: | Please tell us about your chosen discipline-i.e., what made you interested in the area initially? What do you do to stay current in your discipline? What do you like best about teaching in your discipline? |
Nicole Lynch | My love of physical activity pointed me to major in exercise physiology; my parents' encouragement in education inspired me to become a professor; and the fond memories of my beloved grandparents influenced my desire to study aging and the field of gerontology. The passion I have for helping adult students achieve successful learning experiences lead me to teach EDCP 100. I often find myself doing literature reviews using the UMUC online library to answer students' questions and post current studies on select topics in our Conference discussions. The UMUC online library is an outstanding resource for faculty and students. People generally strive to be life-long learners and to age gracefully. EDCP 100 and gerontology courses provide research-based knowledge about topics that are of personal interest to students. I like that there are practical applications in both disciplines to help students achieve personal success in life. |
Interviewer: | What is the most challenging to you in teaching in this area? What teaching strategy do you use when you encounter the challenge? Are there any special challenges in teaching this subject matter online? If yes, please explain what could be done to meet the challenges. |
Nicole Lynch | Student retention is always a concern in 100 level classes. The strategy I use to address this challenge is empathy. I tell students during the first week that I am "here for you" and that I do not want to lose anyone this semester. I reach out to non-participating students by email throughout the semester. When students respond I consider the situation on a case-by-case basis and make adjustments to help students to successfully learn course objectives. Crafting conference questions that allow each student to uniquely answer the questions and apply course material can be a challenge. To meet this challenge I encourage students to apply their life experiences to the course material and to dig deeper into the subject matter by using the UMUC library to relate a scholarly article to the topics of interest. |
Interviewer: | What suggestion would you give to students who are interested in majoring or working in your discipline? |
Nicole Lynch | For students interested in the gerontology discipline, I encourage them to spend time with older adults to understand the issues in our multi-disciplinary field. Serving as a volunteer in organizations that service older adults can help students to consider a variety of career opportunities. |
Interviewer: | In your opinion, what makes UMUC the college of choice for students? |
Nicole Lynch | UMUC is the college of choice for students because UMUC offers:
Interviewer: | In your opinion, what makes UMUC the employer of choice for future faculty members? |
Nicole Lynch | UMUC is the employer of choice for future faculty members because UMUC offers:
Interviewer: | What suggestion would you give to new faculty who are interested in teaching in your discipline at UMUC? |
Nicole Lynch | I believe that effective teachers can exemplify a variety of teaching styles. My suggestions to new faculty are to:

We notched 9.7 and 10.2 in a Freedom 28 heading into Halifax (didn't we Hywl and Emily??)
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
We never clocked it, but my 20' Tornado used to regularly and rapidly overtake the Manly Ferry - and it runs at 18 knots. I guess 30 knots. Less sail area too!
Nice shot Jay
Carpe the living sh!t out of the Diem
I'd rather look back at my life and say "I can't believe I did that" instead of being there saying "I wish I'd done that"
It was a hairy day. The committee boat got rammed! Those who tried to fly chutes blew them out. There were several dismastings as well. We had to pick our way between the breaking swells in order to come about. In the picture, we had just done that. The crew was letting off on the lee running back so that the main could be slacked off.
It was the harbor dept. that clocked us that day. As we came into the bay they wanted us to slow down! During the race, the fin keelers were on there ears while we were drinking beer and eating ham sandwiches and I steered with my knee. The boat has proven to have incredible balance, stability and speed. After that, I dug out a set of small area storm sails, given to me by a friend. We flew them in a Santa Ana on the day of the big Malibu Fire and still made a honking 8.5kts. This is a 10,000lb. displacement hull that was designed by Matt Walsh in 1932. All I did was to tweek it a bit with a full rebuild and a new rig.

i'll just add....great name
"It is a test of my new photo service to see if this would print."
It only shows up as a gray picture, no colour???
How's this for color?
Jay - very pretty. Both shots
"Always be nice to those younger than you, for they are the ones who will be writing about you" -- Cyril Connolly
The origional boat, with its fractional rig and minus the modified after quarters, was match raced against the international champion R class sloop "Pirate". The "Common Sense"#5 was skippered by her designer builder, Matt Walsh. Over a fifteen mile windward leeward course CS5 beat "Pirate" by thirty two minutes.
I fixed a black and white tv for a neighbor once. I was finishing up right as our oldest son got up from his nap. I thought he would be all impressed that his dad could make a tv work again, but he looked quizzically at it and said "but everything is all gray". We had to stop and think to realize he had never seen a black and white tv before.
I will be finishing a set of construction plans for the Common Sense Sloops this winter.
And that's not a commercial?
Here is another shot taken on a less windy day.
How many times I stopped to admire both Red Witch and Wanderlure II when walking by back in the late 70's. Absolutely flawless!
Back then you could count the number of woodies in Newport Harbor on two hands. Tioga, Kelpie, Spike (occasionally), Newsboy, Sally, even Wild Goose were there, but Red Witch was always the star of Balboa Island.
Feel free to post more pix, Jay!
"And then I think , who cares, we're just anthropological curiosities a mere second away from turning into fertilizer, might as well scratch and listen to music we like." John B
Thank you for your kind words. The boat has always been a labor of love. She is a boat builders, "Saturdays child", always worked on during slow periods. Filled with dry rot and broken frames 95% of the origional boat was replaced. As a result of a collision with a motor vessel she now awaits another restoration in Port Townsend where I am, currently, building a new boat shop.
Where abouts in PT is Red Witch? or your shop? I am heading across the sound over there this weekend to work on another boat and would love to actually see her in person if I run into some down time...
And just to make sure the point is driven home: what a stunning boat!
While I would welcome you to visit the shop, I am currently in California working on a special project. I will be back in town in a few weeks.

Report: Orioles have interest in Hamilton
The Baltimore Orioles have plans to pursue arguably the top free agent on the market this season, Josh Hamilton, according to Jon Paul Morosi of Fox Sports.
Hamilton, who is reportedly seeking a contract in the neighbourhood of $175 million over seven years, hit .285 this year with 43 home runs and 128 RBI for the Rangers.
The Orioles, coming off a surprising season finishing with a 93-69 record, are also considering outfielder Cody Ross to play left field.
The addition of Ross or Hamilton would be a major upgrade over Nate McLouth or Nolan Reimold heading into 2013. Centre Field is set with Adam Jones, while right field is patrolled by Nick Markakis.

Dead stars could be the future of spacecraft navigation
Published by University of Leicester Press Office for University of Leicester in Central Government and also in Education
Scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the University of Leicester have been commissioned by the European Space Agency (ESA) to investigate the feasibility of using dead stars to navigate spacecraft in deep space. The findings of the research will advise ESA strategy and if feasible this technique may in future revolutionise the way spacecraft navigate in the outer Solar System and beyond.
Spacecraft navigation currently relies on radio transmissions between a distant craft and a network of ground-stations on Earth. This means that the craft has to wait for an instruction from Earth to guide it through space and with the large distances involved this could take hours, days or even longer. This time delay affects a spacecraft's ability to react rapidly according to its location. Furthermore, the ground infrastructure is increasingly difficult and expensive to maintain due to the size of the radio antennas.
Scientists at NPL and the University of Leicester are exploring the use of X-rays from dead stars, called pulsars, to allow spacecraft to navigate autonomously. Pulsars are highly compact and rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit intense electromagnetic radiation observed as pulses, similar to the rotating beam of light seen from a light house. In some cases these pulses can be highly regular, making them suitable sources for navigation using a technique similar to GPS.
"Using on-board X-ray detectors, spacecraft could measure the times of pulses received from pulsars to determine the position and motion of the craft. The University of Leicester will use their experience in X-ray astronomy to come-up with potential designs of the device and NPL will develop timing and navigation algorithms to determine the potential accuracy of this technique. Funding received from ESA will allow us to investigate the feasibility of using these dead stars and the potential navigation performance that could be derived," says Setnam Shemar, leading the project on behalf of NPL's Time and Frequency Team.
Dr John Pye, University of Leicester Space Research Centre Manager, who is coordinating the work at the University, said: "In 2010, the University celebrated 50 years of space science in Leicester. The success of this study relies on the University's long-standing expertise in X-ray astronomy and in space-science instrumentation."
At the University, the XNAV study team involves six members of staff from the Space Research Centre and the X-ray and Observational Astronomy Group, both within the Department of Physics & Astronomy. The Leicester tasks include investigating the properties of X-ray pulsar stars to allow selection of ones with the best potential for use as "navigation beacons", and investigation of suitable telescope designs for fitting to deep-space missions. Development of a similar light-weight X-ray telescope is currently being led by the University for flight on the European Space Agency's BepiColombo mission to Mercury, due for launch in 2015.
The traditional form of ground-based space navigation can only support a limited number of spacecraft as only one set of measurements can be processed at any one time. If feasible, this new technique could allow a greater number of complex space missions to take place simultaneously in deep space as craft become capable of navigating themselves.
Results from the investigation will advise ESA on technical strategy and if successful, pulsar navigation could in the long-term reduce costs and limitations associated with ground-based technology. Such a method, using pulsars as nature's own GPS in space, might one day enable humanity to navigate far beyond the outer reaches of our Solar System.
The contract is being carried out under the General Studies Programme and funded by the European Space Agency.

Thefabricator.com Media Center
Are you looking for a unique way to showcase your new products?
Multimedia advertising is quickly becoming a required part of the overall marketing mix for companies today. Using an integrated approach to your marketing plan allows you to target prospects at different points in the buying cycle. Some prospects use trade magazines, some use the Internet, and some use word-of-mouth. By using various forms of media, you better position your products to reach buyers where and when they are looking for information. And, ultimately, when they are ready to buy.
The video medium is vital to your success due to the popularity of web sites like YouTube. One important feature of using a video to promote a product or service is its viral marketing appeal, meaning viewers can e-mail or share the video with colleagues. Your company's video will appear both in your company's showroom and in thefabricator.com Media Center.
To maintain viewers attention through this visual medium it's best to keep your videos 3-5 minutes in duration. Submit your hi-resolution video as a .MP4, .mov, .wmv, or .flv file. Videos are displayed at approximately 480 px by 270 px, but can also be viewed in full-screen mode on web pages and mobile devices.
Note: Total length of video will determine monthly rate. Contact your regional sales representative for more information.
Webcasts offer a unique way to showcase your new products and services to an interactive audience from the metal forming, fabricating, stamping, tube and pipe, and welding industries.

I have been trying to get one for a while. A prominent employee that is active on twitter asked me to DM him my address but I think he has forgot to send them. Not important enough to bug him about it - I am sure they are busy, lol.

Actually, I think it is a great marketing opportunity for RIM to provide such stickers to the user base now more then ever. Recall how Apple placed a couple of stickers in some of its products.

Okkervil River, The Stage Names
Album Review
(Jagjaguwar, CD)
Beauty in human failings is a theme that has been explored countless times since the dawn of artistic expression. From Greek tragedy to Shakespeare to Appalachian dirges to good old-fashioned country murder ballads, the fatal flaws and inherent vulnerability of human existence is fertile territory for poetic examination — so much so that few dark corners of our fallible souls remain untouched. So how, then, does one breathe new life into subject matter so profoundly panoptic and, frankly, overdone? Write what you know, that's how.
With their fifth full-length album, The Stage Names, Austin's avant-folk septet Okkervil River has crafted a majestic ode to the frailties of a subject no doubt near and dear to the hearts of many reading this review: musicians and scenesters.
The album leads off with "Our Life Is Not a Movie or Maybe," which could reasonably pass as a missing track from Elvis Costello's brilliant pop opus, Brutal Youth. It's a deftly constructed realization that, for all of our brooding metaphoric agony, problems we poetically inflate remain essentially just regular problems. In their words, "It's just a house burning, but it's not haunted."
The album twists and turns through stylistic changes but remains tightly coiled around its opening sentiment. The bouncy r&;b-tinged "A Hand to Take Hold of the Scene" sounds like sad-sack Conor Oberst fronting early Camper van Beethoven.
"Savannah Smiles" is a heart-rending lament of the pain one discovers upon realizing one's child is no longer that person in tattered old photos. I don't have kids, and after listening to this I'm not sure I want to.
The album's centerpiece is the following track, "Plus Ones," which gracefully weaves quirky pop references around the pitiable story of an aging scene hanger-on. "And no one wants a tune about the 100th luftballoon / that was seen shooting from the window of your room, to be a spot against the sky's colossal gloom / and land, deflated, in some neighbor state that's strewn with 99 others." It's the sort of song that Old 97's front man Rhett Miller wishes he could still write.
Okkervil River approach their subjects with incisive wit and affectionate understanding. You know these people. You've seen them at the clubs, in the coffee shops, sifting through the used bin of the fading indie record store. Perhaps you're one of them. One of us.
If so, you'd do well to pick up a copy of The Stage Names. Better yet, you could commiserate with the band and any scenesters with enough cash for a ticket this Monday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge, where Okkervil River plays with idiosyncratic singer-songwriter Damien Jurado. We're all getting older. Now we have the soundtrack.

Alan was interviewed by Carl Greenwood on 30 November 2005. The interview took place at Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade watch house and lasted 22 minutes and 18 seconds.
A memorable call out
"I mean, we once had three Polish trawlers went aground on the south side of the causeway at St Marys Island"
I mean, we once had three Polish trawlers went aground on the south side of the causeway at St Marys Island. That was an interesting one. They thought that the St Marys Lighthouse was the Blyth Lighthouse on the end of the pier, so they went between the light and the shore side, and three of them ended up on, stranded. That was an interesting night, sending lifelines across just in case anything happened, because it was a stormy night.

However, less than two hours after this bombshell (while the West campaign sought an emergency hearing), the Democrat-run election board announced "preliminary" results from the recount.
These "preliminary" results showed Allen West losing even more votes!
One must seriously consider if it is even remotely possible for Colonel Allen West to ever receive a fair and accurate recount from this "banana republic" of an election board.However, Allen West has another option outside of Florida. This is what I call "The Nuclear Option".
Under the Federal Contested Elections Act, Congressman Allen West can take this election to the U.S. House of Representatives, who have the final word."
You posted this elsewhere. The House of Representatives is not going to get involved in this in favor of Allen West. You need only to read the statute to understand why.
Move. On.
