Awesome bbq set! I bought them for my botfriend for fathers day and he loves them! The Craftsman quality is great as usual!
Very sad when i bought these for my father for christmas and thought i got a nice made in america gift only to find made in taiwan on the handle.Very misleading with the handle being in traditional colors of a american tool only to be tainted with asia stamped on the side. they might as well be selling these at harbor feight r some other cheese ball tool company. I would have thought with all the interest i have paid on my sears card all these years they would have invested in the USA

Awesome set at a great price. Reminds me if when I was younger and my dad's tool sets. I've always owned craftsman tools and will pass the tradition down to my children.

About webtrees
webtrees is the web's leading on-line collaborative genealogy application. It is open source software, and costs $ zero - yes, that means totally FREE!
All you need to use it is a website with PHP and MySQL installed.
It works from standard GEDCOM files, and is therefore compatible with every major desktop application; and it aims to be efficient and effective by using the right combination of third-party tools, design techniques and open standards.
Transferring from PhpGedView
Moving all your important data and configuration settings from an existing PhpGedView ("PGV") setup to webtrees is a quick and painless process.
webtrees has an easy-to-use "wizard" to transfer most of your information, assuming your PGV install meets certain requirements.
See our WIKI page for further details and the few exceptions.
So why not give webtrees a try? There is nothing to lose and a lot to be gained!
1.5.1 and 1.4.5 released 01 Dec 2013
webtrees version 1.5.1 is now available for download. This release contains fixes for 35 reported bugs and one new feature - an online upgrade utility. If your server has the necessary permissions, this could be the last time you need to upload a new version. Many of the fixes in 1.5.1 have been backported to a new 1.4.5 release.
It has been discovered that webtrees versions 1.4.3 and earlier are vulnerable to a type of attack known as "cross-site request forgery". If you are logged into your own site, and you then visit a malicious website controlled by an attacker, the attacker will be able to perform certain actions on your behalf. These include: creating user accounts, uploading media, changing content, etc.
You are therefore strongly advised to upgrade as soon as possible.
Until now, webtrees has required PHP-5.2 or later. However, PHP-5.2 is obsolete and has not received security patches for nearly three years. It also prevents webtrees from using a number of standard PHP libraries, as these are increasingly requiring PHP-5.3. Therefore this and future versions of webtrees will also require PHP-5.3.
If your server still runs PHP-5.2, then you cannot install webtrees 1.5.1. Instead, you should install version 1.4.5. This contains the security patches plus a small number of bug fixes. I'll continue to provide security/critical fixes for the 1.4 branch.
Note that it is harmless to accidentally install webtrees-1.5.1 on a PHP-5.2 server. You'll simply get a message telling you to re-install the appropriate version.
See the wiki site for upgrade tips! (wiki.webtrees.net/en/Upgrading).

Post subject: PID auto-tuning
Hello Friends!
I have recently had a little extra time to actually sit and play with the OpenServos, installed inside a
TowerPro MG995
servo. I quickly realized that I have no clue what values to set to the P, I, and D registers. The values that Mike Thompson gave me (0x0600, 0x0800, 0x0000) cause the servo to operate
as expected. The servo moves to the commanded position, overshoots, then overcorrects, then overcorrects again, causing the servo to "bounce" around the position I want. This overcorrection repeats and decreases over a period of about 2 seconds until the servo finally settles at the commanded position.
After searching the OpenServo forums and Google, I am begining to have a grasp of what the PID values do to the action of the servo. What I am also learning, is that even though it is possible to tune the PID values to a specific load, these values will need to be re-tuned for different loads. I am specifically involved in this project to develop a bipedal robot, which will have varying loads on the servo because of differing movement speeds and momentums.
I am curious to know if anyone in the community has any experience that they may be able to relate to this problem, to help develop a solution so the OpenServo can auto-tune itself to varying loads.
It is also entirely possible that my understanding of PID is wrong, and that if I tune the servo for one load, it should work across most/all loads. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks a lot. Talk to you soon.

Hi jay,
I have a little I can say on this subject, but I don't have all the answers. Maybe someone else with a more biped specific knowledge base can chip in.
I see that you have looked into what PID is and how to tune it for a specific load, so I won't go into that. Instead I will give you some ideas based on my experience.
As you know I have a rather large robot arm. The loading of the arm varies in a number of ways, including how far the arm is extended, what it is holding, and the angle from ground. The motors behave in completely different ways depending on these factors.
I deal with the most obvious one with a patch to the OpenServo codebase. If the motor is moving against gravity it uses one set of PID values, and the other way uses a different set. I dynamically change the PID of my larger shoulder joint on the fly by using an autotuning PID function. This monitors the movement of the arm at quick intervals near the end of it's travel, and updates the PID to iron out the oscillations based on a look up table. The last PID tuning method I use is completely manual. After taking a few (hundred) samples of the movement, I manually tune the PID to sit between a "island of sanity" where any oscillation is negligible.
The sort of load differences you will encounter will differ for each segment of your biped. For example, the legs and ankles will have more loading than the torso elements. With that in mind you should be able to find an optimum for each area of your biped in this "island of sanity". I can't see the amount of loading difference being a major problem for you, as the loading will only vary by a nominal amount. With that said, there is a lot you can do to help yourself here. A few examples are given above. The PID values are only 6 bytes, so it is not bus intensive. You can send new PID values after a position write based on what type of motion you are doing.
I hope my rambling makes some sense.

I think I've seen mention of using look-up tables elsewhere in this forum, and I had hoped to avoid using this method because it's not as universal as full auto-tuning. I will take your advice, though, and use the look-up tables (you'll probably be getting a flurry of e-mails from me when I begin to write the code.
) This will work for what I am trying to do, although I think it would be of great benefit to this project and to the world if someone were to develop or discover an OpenSource PID auto-tuner that didn't rely on manually setting up a look-up table.
In fact, after doing a little research, it seems that auto-tuning algorithms are very difficult to create, and the few companies that have developed them have put copyrights and patents on their implementations. It is likely that the high-end digital servos from Futaba and HiTec are using proprietary auto-tuners. I think that if we bounce this around the community for long enough, someone will eventually solve this problem. I realize that this will take a long time, but it's just something to think about. Anyone else's thoughts are still appreciated.

When the time comes to that I have some tools that will help out.
This runs 50 iterations of a movement and was designed to tune the PID according to a rule set. The rules change each P I or D value according to the many methods I have seen for PID tuning on the net. The screen shows the last measurements from the servo and the time taken to transfer the data. The red line is the line used to calculate the new PID values to be sent over on the next run.
Most of the screenshot is meaningless to anyone but me at the moment, but I am sure you get the idea.
The above screenshot only works with my Gumstix communicating over ethernet at the moment, but I can polish this up in time and get it OSIF ready. Removing the random comments and changing the buttons to a more formal wording would be a good start

Having this tool work in conjunction with the OSIF will be extremely useful to anyone using the OpenServo. I have only one request: Please leave in the "Tune me baby!" button.
I can't believe you just have code like this lying around. If you packaged it right, there are a ton of motion control engineers who could benefit from this app. Bravo. E-mail me if you can get it to work in XP.

(Pre-caveat: I may have no idea of what I'm talking about.)
I'm a newbie in control systems having received all of my electronics training in digital. Everything I say here may be wrong.
My (limited)study to date leads me to believe the situation we have here (one set of PID gains not working for all situations) is an indication of a non-linear system.
A first order solution is the lookup table approach, which works well as long as the different regimes are easily identified and the system approximates a linear system while in a given regime.
A more complex solution is an adaptive control system. Here's where my knowledge (or delusion) goes to zero (or infiinity!). I'm attempting to grind my way through math I forgot 25 years ago to understand how these work. I think this is what I eventually want to implement, but I plan to step my way through successively more complex solutions until I'm happy with the results.

Elizabeth Warren's recent fiery speech on wealth creation has received plaudits from the left and grief from the right. But what few have addressed is the underlying substance of her words: her claim that it is not entrepreneurs who create wealth. They play a role, she acknowledges, but the credit really belongs to all of us. And that becomes the rationale for why those folks deserve to pay a premium in taxes - we deserve a share of their wealth because we helped create it. It's a beguiling idea, but Warren is wrong.

Bryce's New Love
Back in early May, I received a direct message from @Tollytots informing me that I was one of their April giveaway winners. (You should follow them too, maybe you will win!) I had no idea what I won, but since Tollytots makes several adorable dolls, I knew that it would be something Rylie would love. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and found the Singing & Storytelling Belle inside.
We got Belle out and both Rylie and Bryce had fun listening to her and the other Beauty and the Beast characters sing and tell stories. She is a really cool doll and I figured that Rylie would play with her non-stop, but I had the wrong kid in mind. You see, Bryce immediately fell in love.
Later on in the day I was in my room getting ready for whatever activity we had planned that day, and when I came out, I saw Bryce and Belle watching TV together in Rylie's princess chair. Bryce decided that she needed to look pretty for their movie date, so he brushed her hair while they watched.
Since then, Bryce and Belle are always together. They cuddle up on the couch to watch TV at night...
...and then Bryce snuggles up with her while I tuck them both in when it is time for bed.
Belle usually rides to school with us in the morning and keeps Bryce's seat warm until I pick him up in the evenings. She often has her own chair at the dinner table too. One afternoon he was playing quietly in his room and when I went in, Bryce had Belle cradled in his arms and was giving her kisses. He is going to be a very attentive husband one day, don't you think?
Belle hasn't replaced Bryce's best friends Buzz, Woody and the rest of the Toy Story gang, but he always makes time for her. Even though Bryce is a true rough-housing boy, he will occasionally play with dolls with Rylie. I guess that is what happens when boys have an older sister. But this is something more. This is love.

Fortification of rice
Rice is the dominant staple food crop of approximately half of the population worldwide. Micronutrient deficiencies of public health significance are all widespread in most high rice consuming countries and rice fortification has the potential to help aid vulnerable populations that are currently not reached by wheat or maize flour fortification programmes.
Rice can be fortified by simply adding a micronutrient powder to the rice that adheres to the grains or spraying of the surface of ordinary rice grains in several layers with a vitamin and mineral mix to form a protective coating. Rice can also be extruded and shaped into partially precooked grain-like structures resembling rice grains; that is then blended with natural polished rice.
Further research is required to build the evidence-base on the use of fortified rice and to develop global technical guidelines for rice fortification.

The group became a quintet upon Ellington's exit, and also changed their name to the Dramatics. They migrated to the Sport label and in 1967 released their first single to hit the charts, "All Because of You," which peaked at number 42 on the R&B charts. However, in spite of the exposure and limited record sales, some groupmembers became discouraged, which facilitated a major personnel change. William "Wee Gee" Howard replaced lead singer Reed, and Willie Ford of the Capitols replaced bass Rob Davis. Also during this time, the Dramatics had signed with producer Don Davis' production company.

Using Debt Smartly: Nonprofit Lines of Credit and Loans
The Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF) and New York Nonprofit Press recently teamed up for a web chat to discuss nonprofit lines of credit and loans. When should a nonprofit apply for/use a line of credit? What do lenders look for in an application? What is the difference between a line of credit and a bridge loan? Panelists addressed these questions and more during the live web chat.
Check out the web chat here.
Resource: NFF Portfolio Manager, Barbara Libove's article in the New York Nonprofit Press offers guidance on how and when to use a line of credit appropriately and effectively.

Colchicine has been used to treat gout since at least 550 AD.1 Its anti-inflammatory effects have been a focus in cardiology for a decade, but colchicine(Drug information on colchicine) is also now considered a conventional treatment for acute pericarditis, regardless of cause. Animal studies suggest it may also have anti-atherosclerotic actions, a matter which needs to be clarified. First clinical results are also promising in patients with acute coronary syndromes.2
Perhaps because most patients with acute pericarditis are fairly young and have few comorbidities, adverse effects from colchicine for this indication have been surprisingly rare and mild. Cardiologists unfamiliar with the drug may be unaware of its volatile potential for toxicity, which has been documented since at least the 17th century and which I have summarized in a review in Anti-Inflammatory & Anti-Allergy Agents in Medicinal Chemistry.1
Although rheumatologists and primary care physicians use the drug routinely to treat gout, they too may be insufficiently alert to its deadly properties when ingested at high doses. The prevalence of life-threatening events (suicide and even perhaps murders) with colchicine is likely to be underestimated. It is possible commit suicide by taking only one month's supply, especially in the case of renal impairment.
Mode of action:
Colchicine binds to tubulin, inhibiting polymerization of microtobules and acting as a "spindle poison" with an impact on all dividing or migrating cells.
Its main action in gout appears to be direct inhibition of migration of inflammatory cells including neutrophils. It may also have direct anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting key signaling networks (mainly IL-1, IL-6, and TNF).
Quickly absorbed in jejunum and ileum, it can enter almost all tissues and is excreted in breast milk.
Peak plasma levels are reached 2 hours after oral administration. However, colchicine can accumulate in monocytes to reach concentrations higher than plasma levels, making it difficult to predict concentrations in subsets of inflammatory cells.
Toxicity and adverse effects:
Life-threatening poisoning is rare, but the potential is worthy of concern. A dose of 40 mg can be lethal. There is no antidote.
Initial signs are similar to typical GI adverse effects. Multi-organ failure can follow within days.3, 4
Poisoning may produce life-threatening systemic effects:
• Nausea and vomiting
• Bone marrow suppression leading to sepsis
• Adult respiratory syndrome
• Direct cardiotoxicity
Treatment is supportive. Anti-colchicine antibodies have been shown effective,4 5 but are not commercially available.6
The focus on adverse effects of normal doses centers on pregnant women and fetuses. However, a recent large study found no increase in abortions or congenital malformations among offspring of women treated with colchicine for familial Mediterranean fever, compared to those of pregnant women with or without the disorder who had not taken colchicine.7
Suggested contraindications:
• Avoid if possible: protease inhibitors, statins, cyclosporine, anticoagulants
• Contraindicated: Macrolide (telithromycin, azythromycin, clarithromycin(Drug information on clarithromycin), dirithromycin(Drug information on dirithromycin), erythromycin(Drug information on erythromycin), josamycin(Drug information on josamycin), midecamycin, roxithromycin(Drug information on roxithromycin), troleandromycin, spiramycin(Drug information on spiramycin)), pristinamycine, verapamil(Drug information on verapamil)
• Creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min (recent dosage)
• Severe hepatic dysfunction
• Uncontrolled or unexplained anemia, thrombocytopenia, or leucopenia
• If possible: Pregnancy, risk of pregnancy, breast-feeding
• History of an allergic reaction or significant sensitivity to colchicine constituents (rare)
Recommended monitoring for toxicity
Evaluate renal function and blood cell count before treatment, during the first month, and whenever initiating a new drug likely to induce interactions or if any clinical events occur involving hepatic dysfunction or renal impairment.
Also check the biology before the first treatment if the patient is likely to present with hepatic dysfunction.

Clarksville, TN – A group of very special USO soldiers and their families from Fort Campbell recently enjoyed a delicious holiday meal and a visit from a jolly old elf while celebrating a wonderful cause.
As the soldiers, families and children (approximately 130 people total) arrived at the Wyatt-Johnson Subaru-Hyundai-Mazda dealership, they were greeted by Santa's helpers (aka Wyatt Johnson employees) and were served a traditional Christmas meal catered by Margie Johnson. The group feasted on ham, turkey with all of the fixings, and a variety of delicious desserts.

Everypony slowly emerged into Ponyville's central plaza. Nopony seemed to be missing - perhaps the culprits, seeing Princess Celestia herself in their midst, had given up? But that didn't change the fact that they still had to be punished. The grim task ahead of them weighed heavy on everypony's heart; a mistaken accusation could lead to an innocent pony getting banished, and would also be one less pony for the culprits to drive out. But where could they possibly begin?
Celestia emerged from Town Hall, where she had been given the finest quarters available, and slowly walked out onto the porch. Any hushed mutters were silenced as soon as she sat at the top of the steps as she would upon her throne. Her eyes were closed, deep in thought, and she let out a small sigh as she spread her wings and opened her eyes. The investigation could begin.
It is now Day 1. This phase will end at 10 p.m. PST on Nov. 17th.

When he's not practicing medicine, Dr. Louis "Andy" Davenport feels the need – the need for speed.Davenport has an unusual side job for a physician in Kyle: He's a fighter pilot, flying F-16 jet fighters for the Texas Air National Guard. To his surprise, he opened last week's edition of the Hays Free Press and saw a story and photos about one of his old F-16s. The decommissioned jet is getting a paint job in a Buda shop."I immediately recognized it and said, 'Oh my gosh, that's my airplane,'" Davenport said.It wasn't just the type of airplane he used to fly. He piloted that exact F-16, blue and yellow color scheme and all."I was actually the last one to fly that particular airplane on its last official mission before it was retired," he said. "I've flown that plane a lot, actually."The F-16's final mission came during an April 2008 event with Gov. Rick Perry.The plane's unique paint job commemorates the 90th anniversary of Ellington Field in Houston. Ellington's F-16 program was canceled in a base realignment soon thereafter, and Davenport left Ellington for the Air National Guard's 149th Fighter Wing's unit in San Antonio.One of Ellington's legacy F-16s – the one featured in the Aug. 3 edition of the Hays Free Press – was sent to Camp Mabry in Austin. The jet is being painted by Aguirrie Paint and Body in Buda, and on Sept. 10, it will debut as part of a new exhibit at Camp Mabry titled "9-11 and Beyond: The Texas National Guard in the War on Terror."Davenport, whose military rank is major, flies at least five missions each month. Not surprisingly, his call sign while in flight is "Doc."Though it might seem odd to combine medical and aeronautical pursuits, it made sense for Davenport. He specializes in internal and aerospace medicine and applied to become an astronaut.Davenport was asked if he would try to participate in any future space expeditions as a NASA astronaut."I don't think so," he said. "I was really excited about (President George W.) Bush's mission of going back to the moon and beyond, but these missions are no longer being considered in the immediate future."President Barack Obama canceled the previous administration's plans to send astronauts on moon missions by 2020. Instead, he is offering incentives for the private sector to develop the next generation of spacecraft while calling for a mission to Mars.As for Davenport, he moved to Kyle last December with his wife Meredith, who is an OB/GYN with Hays Women's Health."Meredith and I have committed ourselves to Kyle and the local community, so I don't see us picking up and moving again," he said.Read more at the Hays Free Press http://haysfreepress.com/archives/22220#ixzz1YSY2j0Wu

Employees at Emergency Management Services and Montana Highway Patrol in Butte do not have enough office space. They proposed a construction plan together that will give them room to stretch.
"We need a new emergency operations center because the current offices in the basement of the courthouse that have been designated as an Emergency Operations Center just don't work for us," said Roger Ebner, coordinator of Emergency Management Services. "They are too small. We don't have the right equipment. It is ineffective, inefficient."
Butte's Emergency Operation Center has been in the basement of the courthouse for nearly 20 years. Space is a big issue, but technology is a bigger one.
"We don't even have back-up generator power, so if we need to respond to help people and it's at night, we're here in the dark," Ebner said.
The ideal place for Butte's Emergency Operation Center is the current Butte Drivers Exam Station and Montana Highway Patrol facility. Montana Highway Patrol needs more space too, according to Captain Gary Becker of the Montana Highway Patrol.
The Montana Highway Patrol District Office was built in 1973. It was spilt in half for the DMV when licensing became a civilian task.
"If we get four or five people in here they are stepping over the top of each other," Becker said. "The layout of this building just does not facilitate us being able to have something that's functionally operative."
The main workspace is meant for 14 state troopers. There are only four work stations. The remaining troopers must either stand or work off four file cabinets in the center of the room.
"If we need to do some training we have to go try and find some place that we can rent for hundreds of dollars to do the training, or we have to go around begging to be able to do training," Becker said. "We shouldn't have to be doing that as a state agency. We should be able to do our training in our own facility."
The current proposal states Butte-Silver Bow would pay for their half of the building and the State of Montana would pay for the Montana Highway Patrol portion. Each portion is about $1.6 million. The total cost of the project is approximately $3.2 million dollars.
"Right now we don't really have the ability to warn the residents in the most efficient and effective way," Ebner said. "A new facility will allow us to have the software, the hardware, the equipment in order to have mass notifications systems, the proper equipment for the responders to meet together and try to make decisions on how to respond to a large scale disaster."
Butte-Silver Bow has approved 90 percent of their share of the construction cost. The State of Montana is still in the process of approving their half of the cost.

It is the press that has taken these charges and accusations and blown them up without any kind of skepticism whatsoever - blown them into realities and treated them as if they were true.

Reporters no longer ask for verification, thus they print charges no matter how outlandish they may seem, and once having done that, when the truth comes out, it's buried in the back page or never makes it on the air at all.

This climbs a rising traverse on a dike just out of the river. The first pitch can be done during low tide. The name refers to the result of trundling a large block just above the first belay and one just below it. Pitch 1: There is a fun move at the first bolt. The crux is at the 4th bolt. It can be easier 5 feet right of 4th bolt, but we did not clean it that well. Pitch 2: Begin just left of the anchor. Short cruxes are encountered at each bolt. The crux is at 5th bolt when the climb steepens. A red Alien may be placed before the 5th bolt. Originally the climb went 25 feet above the current anchor, but that just created rope drag and poor communication. You can either lower/rappel to the river or traverse right into the woods at the level of the first belay anchor, depending on the water level. Gets good early morning sun if the rest of Castle Rock is too cold.
Begin 20 feet right of Subterranean Homesick Blues. You can use the first bolt of SHB as a directional belay anchor so the belayer does not get pulled into the water in case of a fall. If the water is too high, the top of the first pitch can be reached by traversing in from the right.
Pitch 1: 5 bolts to a 2-bolt belay. Pitch 2: 5 bolts plus optional red Alien to a 2-bolt anchor with chains.
Nice effort, you guys. On May 12, Strappo flawlessly led pitch one and styled through the crux high step on pitch two, which I dogged on lead. 10b for the first pitch, 10a for the second? Strappo and I both commented that this west-facing wall holds tremendous opportunity for new routes, once it begins to clean up with traffic.
Routes right of The Big Splash= from a high ledge a seam up to a hand crack is "Flaming Dog Poo" 5.10ish? (hard start) further right is a nice overhang to dihedral that I cleaned and tried a couple times, then abandoned because somebody else put twelve bolts on the thing.
Dirty, discontinuous, and a few nice sections. But not enough to make a nice route of it.

Studying how the mind and brain work sounds like it ought to be about as futile as trying to grab handfuls of air. Yet psychology, neuroscience and related fields have made amazing progress. This special issue introducing Scientific American Mind reviews just a sliver of the discoveries that investigators from around the globe have made about the workings of our inner lives. The breadth of subjects tracks the vastness of thought. Several of our authors grapple with supremely tough questions: How does the gray matter in our skulls give rise to self-awareness? How can we have free will if our brains are bound by predictable mechanisms? How does memory work? Other articles describe how new genetic and biochemical findings elucidate causes of mental illness but also pose ethical quandaries. They illuminate mysteries of sensory perception. They explore how understanding of mental function can help us deal with mundane issues, such as solving problems creatively or making our arguments more persuasive. And a few celebrate the strange, unexpected beauties of the human condition.- The Editors

Cher Oncle, Cher Papa: The Letters of Francois
and Berenice Chouteau
by Dorothy Brandt Marra (Western
Historical Manuscript Collection-Kansas City, 404 pages, $24.95 paper)
Life on the American western frontier of the 1830s comes alive through this collection of letters from François Chouteau, Pierre Chouteau, Sr.'s eldest son by his second wife, and François's wife, Berenice Menard, to her father, Pierre Menard. Marra does an excellent job of placing each letter in context, explaining the myriad names and references and concluding with fifty pages of glossary. This mostly business correspondence concerns François and his activities as part of the American Fur Company's Western Department, headed by half-brother Pierre Chouteau, Jr. At the future site of Kansas City, François traded with the local Kansas tribe and the newly arriving tribes displaced from the east.
A sub-theme centers on the family's place in the beginnings of Kansas City, describing Berenice, the children, and their challenges. Marra emphasizes how well suited Berenice is for this life on the frontier. As the daughter of Kaskaskia's Pierre Menard, she grew up with American Indian trade concerns and was accustomed to having Indians appear on the front porch looking for her father.
The letters bring to life the tensions between the Indian trader and the Indian agent and underscore the changing nature of American Indian policy as the United States replaced traditional presents with "annuities." The tribes François dealt with were the same ones his father and earlier French had befriended. His concern for fairness reveals why the native nations preferred to deal with the French. This commerce proved a struggle, because too many traders competed in this limited market.
Scholars will find the book highly valuable for its detailed examination of Indian relations and the fur trade. General readers will enjoy its view of the joys and sorrows of life on the frontier.

CHICOPEE — Despite the effort of junior Ciaran Dillon-Davidson, the Amherst Regional boys swim team placed third at the Western Massachusetts championship meet Tuesday at Chicopee High School.
Minnechaug ran away with its sixth consecutive title with 345 points. Westfield (288) earned the runner-up spot, while Amherst collected 249.5 points. Belchertown (108) was ninth.
Dillon-Davidson finished with one individual title and one relay title. He nearly had two individual firsts.
In a high-profile early event, Northampton's Colin Machat went head-to-head with Dillon-Davidson in the 200-yard freestyle.
Through the first 150 yards, Dillon-Davidson stayed within a second of Machat, who lengthened his lead over the home stretch and finished first in 1 minute, 45.88 seconds. Dillon-Davidson (1:47.11) was second.
Dillon-Davidson later repeated as champion in the 500 free and swimming the anchor leg of the Hurricanes' winning 400 free relay team.
He assumed control of the 500 free at about the midway point and came in at 4:50.41, shaving nearly four seconds off his winning time (4:54.3) in the 2012 meet.
"After the second in the 200 free, I was very motivated to win that 500 free and take a title home," he said.
"Ciaran's extremely talented and he keeps getting better," Amherst coach Keith McFarland said. "I expect him to perform better at states than he did (Tuesday) and better next year."
The 400 free relay proved to be a thrilling conclusion to the meet. Top-seeded Amherst was a few strokes behind Westfield when Dillon-Davidson hit the water. He caught up then took the lead over the final lap.
"We really wanted to win that being the top seed, and we were nervous because of the strong competition," Dillon-Davidson said. "I just thought about swimming my fastest, and it was different because I don't think we've ever been down going into my leg."
Amherst's team of Marc Klepacki, Eric Chen, Alan Tang and Dillon-Davidson had a time of 3:22.17. That quartet also came in third (1:43.33) in the 200 medley relay.
The 400 free "was a really nice way to finish, and it was a gutsy swim because we kept falling behind," said McFarland.
Both Klepacki and Tang earned 32.5 points apiece for Amherst. They tied for second in the 100 fly at 55.14. Klepacki came in third in the 50 free at 22.78, and Tang placed third in the 100 breast at 1:03.9.
The Hurricanes swam with extra inspiration on Tuesday after the Amherst girls were denied the opportunity to compete in Monday's girls meet.
"In this meet we wanted to swim for ourselves and also our girls, so we're glad to be able to pull out a good meet," Dillon-Davidson said.
With only two seniors set to graduate, the boys team will return a deep and talented squad next year in hopes of claiming a sectional crown.
"We're pretty young and just about the whole team's coming back," said McFarland.
Matthew Quinney of Belchertown placed fifth in the 200 IM, and teamed with Andrew Burns, Sam Scudere-Weiss and Robbie Lewis for fifth in the 400 free relay.

Towing Capacity
Whether seeking a suitable tow vehicle for a travel trailer or searching for an RV that can be safely towed behind an existing vehicle, remember all vehicles are assigned a maximum towing capacity as determined by the manufacturer. Virtually all makers publish an annual towing guide to bring clarity to the weight limitations of each model, including the all-important GCWR, (gross combined weight rating). Engine size, horsepower rating, transmission, axle and differential specifications, chassis and suspension construction, plus cooling and braking capacity all factor into a safe towing equation.
The same goes for towing a vehicle behind the motorhome. Stay within the limitations and excursions will be safe and enjoyable; providing the correct towing equipment is utilized. Let's take a closer look at the various towing configurations.
Dinghy Towing
Towing a small car behind a motorhome, dinghy towing, remains very popular since a smaller second vehicle allows for side trips and errand running while eliminating the need to break camp, disconnect all the utilities, secure the contents for travel and deal with the hassles of setting up camp again upon the return. Equipment-wise, there are three basic ways to tow a dinghy; tow trailer, tow dolly and tow bar.
Tow Trailer
The tow trailer is simply a flat bed trailer that allows the vehicle to be fully loaded into or on it. It is the least popular method mainly because of the bulkiness of the tow trailer itself. The advantage? The car is completely off the ground; absolutely no tire wear or the need for any modifications to the car.
Tow Dolly
With a dolly, the wheels of one axle only are placed onto a specially designed, single axle trailer. This is a popular method used primarily with front wheel drive cars. No other major equipment is required and no further modification to the dinghy is needed. Some are equipped with interesting features such as auto-steer and brakes.
Tow Bar
The most common method of towing a small car, however, is with a tow bar. This allows all four wheels of the dinghy to remain on the ground resulting in less tongue weight on the motorhome and easier coupling and uncoupling. In most cases, additional equipment is necessary and modifications may have to be made, but the good news is that almost any small car can now be safely towed. The add-ons that may be necessary include a speedometer disconnect device, a transmission lube pump or a drive shaft disconnect coupler. The choice of dinghy will determine exactly what additional equipment is required.
Tow bars come in many styles. Self-Aligning – which allows a hook-up by one individual. Just get close enough behind the motorhome and make the connections. When pulled forward, the tow bar locks into place automatically.
"A" Frame – a rigid frame design that folds upright or detaches when not in use. It's better for two people to make this connection since the dinghy must be in an exact position for the coupler to mate with the ball mount. Though less costly, it is more cumbersome and harder to stow when not in use.
Dinghy Mounted – can be either the "A" frame type or the self-aligning type, but is mounted on the front end of the towed vehicle.
Motorhome Mounted – is a self-aligning tow bar mounted on the rear of the motorhome. Lighter and easy to use, the motorhome-mounted bar eliminates the need for a standard ball mount. Plus it keeps the front end of the dinghy looking sleeker and cleaner when not being towed. It seems to have become the preferred method today. Because of the plethora of products, make an informed buying decision by investigating all the options.
Regardless of which type or style of tow bar you choose, a base plate must be mounted on the towed vehicle. Most manufacturers design base plates for specific vehicles in kit form, complete with all the necessary hardware and written instructions. Choose the one that is the least noticeable on your particular dinghy. Non-obtrusiveness is a good thing.
Conventional Travel Trailers
To tow a conventional travel trailer, a hitch is a mandate. Trailer hitches are rated by "class" according to weight capacity. The higher the class, the more weight that hitch can carry.
What most call "the hitch," is actually comprised of several components. Weight distributing hitch assemblies include three main components; the receiver, ball mount and spring bar assembly. Several manufacturers produce a myriad of weight distributing hitches, so again, due diligence is due!
Sway Control
RVers neutralize adverse trailer sway by adding a sway control device to the hitch configuration. A friction type sway control is produced by many manufacturers and seeks to control the sway once it is initiated. It connects the tow vehicle ball mount to one side of the trailer's "A" frame.
An alternative design is the Dual Cam High Performance Sway Control produced by Reese, which makes rigid the connection between tow vehicle and trailer on both sides of the "A" frame. The advantage of this is that it mechanically works to combat sway and maintain a straight towing line from the first onset of the sway.
Newer techniques of sway control have been introduced over the years and include sway control methods manufactured into the hitch design itself. Some quite interesting advances have focused on preventing sway rather than simply controlling it. The Hensley Arrow is but one example of this mindset.
The PullRite method of towing a travel trailer transposes the entire design into an upside down version of a fifth-wheel hitch of sorts whereby the pivot point is moved from behind the tow vehicle to a point just behind the rear axle. A PullRite foregoes the necessity of a separate sway control device altogether. Regardless of design or application, controlling or eliminating sway is tantamount to safe trailer towing.
Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailers
But can a short-bed pickup tow a fifth-wheel trailer? Thanks to many hitch manufacturers the answer is yes. Multiple designs are currently available from an assortment of manufacturers, making fifth-wheel towing plausible for even those with a short bed.
Brake Controllers - Travel trailers, fifth-wheels and even some tow dollies have brakes; predominantly electric brakes. A true proportional brake controller is always preferred over timer-based controllers.
Supplemental Braking - If a towed dinghy weighs 40% or more of the motorhome's gross vehicle weight or if the car itself weighs close to 2,000 pounds, it is recommended to install supplemental braking. Though no Federal Law exists as of yet, many individual states and Canadian Provinces have laws requiring additional braking if the towed vehicle exceeds a certain weight. It is often emphasized that while state and provincial laws may vary, the law of physics is non-negotiable and very finite.
Electrical Connections - all towed vehicles must also be equipped with running lamps, stop lamps and turn signals. Be sure the two vehicles are wired accordingly and remember to check all lamp functions daily. Also, travel trailers and fifth-wheel trailers must contain a fully charged battery for the breakaway switch to be operable.
Safety Chains - use quality safety chains. Chains are crossed under the coupler area of the towed vehicle and secured properly. Be certain there is enough slack in the length of the chains to accommodate the tightest of turns, but not so much that they drag on the pavement.
Additional Cooling - with added weight behind the tow vehicle, an auxiliary transmission cooler is cheap insurance and a heavier radiator could be a mandate with some heavy trailers.
So, do some homework, think safety, equip properly, hitch up and tow! You'll soon discover what millions of RVers already know! And remember, RVing is more than a hobby, it's a lifestyle!
