like the little Honda, seem much quieter in the store than they do on the bow of the neighbors boat in an anchorage.
Just saying'.
Would throwing a bucket of seawater at it make it quieter?
All in all, they may be better than the gensets with an exhaust at the waterline. Heard stories of people rowing over at night and shoving a potato into the exhaust pipe.
Got one of those. We set it on a thick foam mat to run it, which makes it a lot quieter. But we never run it late in the evening, and certainly not all night.
hi-jack alert!
my mom has sleep apnea and thus sleeps with an oxygen mask that must be plugged in. She and my dad live in North Ontario off the grid so they rely on a generator running for 12 hours through the night to make sure she wakes up. (Yeah, not the smartest parents but fortunately I don't believe in genetics.) The kids don't want to visit because of the constant infernal ruckus. I want to buy the folks a small, quiet, reliable generator. 1k watts is more than enough. Do the sages of the forum have any advice?
Is this generator out in the back yard? If not, it should be. Put a heavy wall between it and the house, and that ought to knock the volume down to a tolerable level.
Yep. Get some deep cycle batteries & an inverter/charger. Charge the batteries with the gen. - run the inverter @ night. Night time will be silent. No pollution (air or noise).
You can get a couple of 8D's for $800 or so, an inverter charger for $800 (for example, 10 sec. of googling turned this up: http://www.donrowe.com/inverters/trace_series.html), & $100 for miscellaneous fuses, cable, etc. A few years down the road, get some solar panels to charge the batteries & you'll hardly use the generator all summer.
Yes, I live off-grid. I have more batteries, but even with just a generator (no solar or wind), during the summer I can run the gen for 2 hrs. every 3 days & run lights, TV, radio, computer, water pump, whatever. I do have propane for hot water, stove & fridge though.
There have been lots of discussions about the various merits of available 'suitcase' generators. If it matters that it keeps going (David's mum) buy a 4 cycle Honda...and park it a bit away from the house. I have lived a few times 'off the grid' and nothing beats a Lister diesel. For the anchorage, that would really get your neighbours cannons out. A few years back, I fitted a 'Sailor Silent Set' 3.5kva to our company yacht. Basicly a BMW (Hatz) single diesel running a Markon alternator. Double skinned housing plus some carefull thought on the intake air and exaust system. Most noise was the splashing from the water exiting the skin fitting. The old Onan it replaced was not something you would run at night.
Something a bit odd here, I looked at my post and there was an extra 'and Honda', assumed brain failure and went back to correct it. But I didn't type it in the original post?? More new tech glitches?
I barely use mine (Honda 2k), but when I do need it, I am glad I have it. As does Wox, I find the biggest issue is vibration, not noise. They are not silent but good reliable daytime runners. A clever friend made a sling for his and suspends it from his yard, a great solution for killing the vibration. I run mine on the swimstep and...surprise...put a rubber mat under it. It is not a 100% solution, but it is a cheap, reliable way to solve a particular problem. You figure out workarounds with them. If you want to borrow mine for a weekend to see if it is a solution for you, PM me.
Thanks for the idea, andrewe. The folks only live in the wild six months out of the year. Will the batteries survive the winter, unattended and unjuiced?
If you are only running the sleep apnea machine a much cheaper inverter will run it, better to get a larger capacity one though, because as noted other loads will be put on it. I think they are now 95% efficient
As to Ron !! original post, "thus spake the man with a 6_71
You flatter me. It's only a 3-71. But point taken. However I did some experimenting out in the dinghy yesterday and altho the 3-71 is loud inside the boat, it is surprisingly quiet outside. When standing beside it on the dock it's hard to tell it's running, and 50 yards away in the dinghy I couldn't hear it at all. But the Honda generator on the bow of the Bayliner could easily be heard more than 100 yards away. But as others have pointed out, that was probably because the deck of their boat was acting as a resonator.
It's my experience that those little Honda generators aren't that load. A good portable stereo system can more than drown out the racket from the generator.

"never send a ferret to do a weasel's job.."
I have experience with CPAPs.
They dont draw much power. Figure about one amp at 12 VDC. Figure a total of 8 to 10 amp-hours of 12 VDC power needed per night. With a typical 75-amp-hour lead-acid deep-cycle battery figure about 4 nights use before a recharge is required.
The cheapest, most reliable way of powering one off the grid is to get a 12-volt cord for it and run it directly off 12 VDC battery. (***)
Almost all these run on 12 VDC. They have an internal power supply to convert 120 VAC to 12 VDC. There is no need to go to the expense and complexity of an inverter to convert 12 VDC to 120 VAC so the machine can convert it back. I believe all CPAP makers market a 12 VDC cord, which bypasses the internal converter. Figure around $25 for the Respironics cord, $100 for the ResMed cord.
A small quiet Honda or Yamaha 1000 watt generator and a small battery charger will recharge the battery. Figure charging a couple of times per week with 4 or 5 hours of charging, depending on the amp-rating of the charger.
(***The ResMed VPAP Adapt SV is an exception. In the unlikely event that your mother has one of those, you need a good pure sine wave inverter rated at least 300 watts. This machine runs on 30 VDC. ResMeds very expensive 120 VAC to 30 VDC converter is engineered to fail in the real world.)
A small solar "topping up" charger should keep the batteries OK for part of that time, get one of the smart ones that won't drain the batteries if there is a storm. Otherwise just haul the batteries back home with you and keep them charged up.

Without loosing patience, a practitioner of no-logs keeps developing the argument or the story that s/he started to share. The practitioner has to go on and discover feelings, impressions, imageries, stories, anecdotes, examples, to make it increasingly difficult for the listener to say "I didn't...".

As some may have noticed, Google launched something that is unusual for the company: A game. A mobile alternate reality game, to be precise. See allthingsd article for a bit more information. In my opinion this game is most interesting to people who are mildly interested in geo-caching. You spend most of the gaming time either looking for the right "portals" (geo-location that is an interesting place for one reason or another, many located at sculptures, murals or (more scarcely) interesting local businesses), or trying to solve the puzzles that appear in the game itself or on http://www.nianticproject.com/. I was one of the beta testers and really enjoy the game, especially in areas with more players.
As the game is most fun when people coordinate a bit, I started a google group for the munich area for one of the two teams (the enlightenment), but I will only let people enter that group who can be verified to be on that team.
On a side note: I still have a few invites to the game left, so if you are interested, please leave a comment and enter your gmail.com email address (you need a Google account to play anyway) while doing so. I will send out invites in the order I received the requests (which I admit might not always be the same in which they were submitted. First come first serve and no guarantee to get an invitation though. Your email address you enter when commenting isn't shown to anyone and I don't share them with anyone but the game (and thus Google).
EDIT: So short time went past, but I already ran out of invites (note that I didn't approve comments that really only were like "please send me an invite", but still did sent one out). Feel free to still ask me for an invite, I will send some out as I get new ones, but this might take anything between a few days and some weeks.
PS: For the lucky ones who got invites: You don't strictly need to do the training offered when you start the game for the first time, but I strongly encourage you to do so.
PPS: I'm opening my group to any enlightened players in Germany. I will share some useful information about some game details there in the near future (nothing company confidential of course, just information anyone can gather in the game or from the published information).
EDIT: As noted before, I don't have any more invites to give away. As I still get like 4 requests for invites per day, and now have more than 30 unfulfilled requests pending (with no new invites to give in sight), I'm now disabling comments.

THE COAST DAYLIGHT – THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TRAIN IN THE WORLD – Southern Pacific's famous streamliner between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Train Town Video Productions Presents a railroad video featuring Southern Pacific's Daylight 1937-1957. Considered the most beautiful train in the world – covering some of the most spectacular scenery in America. The down home music in the video hardly represents this sophisticated train. It was anything but "country"!
The Daylight had its inaugural run on March 1, 1937 and was hauled by GS-2 steam locomotives. It was the first of the Daylight series that also included the San Joaquin Daylight, Shasta Daylight, Sacramento Daylight, and Sunbeam. The Coast Daylight ran behind steam from March 1937 until it was dieselized on January 7, 1955. After dieselization, the train continued to run until May 1, 1971 when Amtrak took over service and rerouted their Coast Daylight to Oakland. [Read more...]

Codemasters to close RF Online in the West
As confirmed by the official RF Online site, the MMO is to close in Europe. From the post:
Our licence for RF Online is due to expire shortly and unfortunately, despite several weeks of negotiations with CCR, the Korean developers of the title, we have not been able to reach an agreement to renew the contract.
This means that Codemasters will no longer have the right to operate the service in the Western territories it currently provides service in and therefore we are obliged to shut down all associated game services before the licence expires.
The last full day of service will be 9th November, 2008. All RF Online world servers will shut down on the morning of Monday 10th November, UK time.
More through there. Thanks, Blue.

When choosing rental accommodation in Amsterdam, apartments offer great value for money. HouseTrip offers a number of quality Amsterdam apartments, many of them overlooking the picturesque canals. Choosing self catering Amsterdam accommodation also means you can take advantage of the excellent Noordermarkt Farmers Market, a great way to experience true local life. Plus, HouseTrip makes booking holiday rentals easy – in as little as six clicks.
Think Amsterdam, and images of tulips, clogs and windmills might spring to mind, or perhaps girls in windows and smoke-filled coffee shops. But there's far more to the capital of the Netherlands than its enduring clichés. Attracting over 4 million international tourists each year, visitors discover a city of immense beauty, from the 165 sparkling canals to the green glory of the Vondelpark. Visit Prinsengracht 263, the home where diarist Anne Frank and her family hid for two years during the Second World War, catch an eyeful of art at the Van Gogh, Rembrant or Rijksmuseum museums, or perhaps take a tour of the Heineken Brewery. Most tourist attractions are within half an hour's walk of each other, with almost all the action focused in the Old Centre, and a boat tour along the grachtengordel (girdle of canals) that guards this area is a definite must do. Plus, if you choose your Amsterdam accommodation right, the end of the day doesn't have to mean the end of your sightseeing – there are lots of Amsterdam apartments overlooking the canals available to rent. Don't forget to also check out our Amsterdam food guide, which is jam packed with helpful hints and tips from locals as to the best places to experiences local food while in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam is at its best from May through to August, when the weather is mild and you're most likely to come across a festival or parade of some description. Winter can be lovely too, particularly if it freezes enough to allow skating on the canals. If it's at all possible though, time your holiday for Queen's Day on 30 April, when the city erupts into a giant orange party come garage sale.
Just 18km from the city centre, Schiphol is the fourth-busiest airport in Europe. Visitors can also arrive into Amsterdam via train or motorway. Once you're there, foot or pedal power are your friend, particularly as you can cross the Old Centre in 30 minutes and be in the city's outskirts in double that.
Amsterdam is a HouseTrip Green City. Click here to view our infographic.
No problem. We'll email you right now so you can set a new one.

By Brian R. Ballou and John R. Ellement Globe Staff
CONCORD -- Waltham Police Chief Thomas M. LaCroix allegedly assaulted his wife and a female neighbor during two separate violent incidents Tuesdayin Maynard where he lives, a Middlesex prosecutor said today when LaCroix was arraigned in his bed at Emerson Hospital.
LaCroix was arrested by Maynard police Thursday around 4:30 p.m. and has been placed on administrative leave with pay, according to Mayor Jeannette A. McCarthy and Maynard police.
According to Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Suzanne Kontz,paperwork filed in Concord District Court and Maynard police, LaCroix assaulted his wife, Andrea K. LaCroix on Tuesday, an attack that required her to get medical treatment at Newton Wellesley Hospital.
Kontz also said during LaCroix's arraignment in his hospital room that after her husband allegedly attacked her, Andrea LaCroix went to a female neighbor's house. That female neighbor returned with Andrea LaCroix to the LaCroix home - where Thomas LaCroix allegedly attacked the neighbor.
Only limited details of the incidents were made public today because the police report and most records were impounded. No official explanation was immediately provided for the gap of time between the violent incident -- Tuesday -- and LaCroix's arrest on Thursday.
In one document made public, 40-year-old Andrea LaCroix was identified as one of the victims and prosecutors said they wanted a court order for her medical records created at Newton Wellesley hospital between June 11 and June 14.No description of Andrea LaCroix's injuries were disclosed.

Version September 2010 OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION Faculty Advisory Council Cost of Textbooks & Alternative Learning Resources Discussion Paper BACKGROUND In December 2006, the Chancellor convened a symposium to investigate methods of reducing the burden of textbook costs to students in the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education. The symposium was exploratory and provided a forum for various stakeholders to present ideas and opinions regarding the selection, publication, pricing and distribution of educational materials and resources. The issues discussed included financial aid restrictions on purchasing, editions not always changing substantively, whether one text may apply to more than one course, departmental responsibility in the selection process, long-term professional value of the text, and how students use texts. In March 2007, the Oklahoma Student Government Association (SGA) passed a resolution for the Council on Student Affairs (COSA) requiring institutions to provide information regarding textbooks 14 days prior to start of class. In May 2008, the Student Advisory Board (SAB) and Faculty Advisory Council (FAC) passed a joint resolution for the State Regents requiring the same information as the SGA and provide at least one copy of each textbook on reserve in the library. In October 2009, SGA passed additional resolutions including that all campuses libraries should have copies of all required texts and that textbooks be available in a digital format and housed on campus network servers. In March 2010, SGA recommended that Oklahoma sales tax be removed from all textbook (and other required reading material) purchases. In May 2007, the Oklahoma Legislature passed H.B. 2103 (see relevant sections attached) to reduce textbook costs by having governing boards adopt policies for bookstores, faculty and staff; work with bookstores, publishers, students and faculty; and restrict what employees and bookstores may receive from publishers. The legislation went into effect as of November 2007. In July 2008, Congress completed reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA) by passing the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) Effective July 1, 2010, institutions will be required to disclose in their course schedules, "to the maximum extent practicable," the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) of every required and recommended textbook and supplemental materials and retail price information. Lacking accurate information about the ISBN number at the time the course schedules are set, the institution is permitted to indicate that this information is "to be determined." Publishers are required to provide faculty with information on price, copyright dates of the three previous editions, any substantial revisions between a new edition and prior iterations, whether the textbook is available in any other format and at what price and to supply textbooks in bundled and unbundled formats. 1

Join the call for all college & university presidents to divest from fossil fuels and move to 100% clean energy.
Groups across the country are organizing to make their campuses leaders in the fight against climate change.
Add your campus!
I, along with four other students from BEAM (Bates Energy Action Movement), met with President Clayton Spencer last Monday to present our case for divestment from the fossil fuel industry over a 5 year period.
On Friday night, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC or UofI) became the latest school (of the 300+ campuses working on fossil fuel divestment) to pass a student-wide divestment referendum. With all votes tallied, they had won with 6-to-1 in favor of divestment.
Bottom line: 86% of the voting student body demonstrated their support of coal divestment at UIUC!
UIUC Beyond Coal celebrates referendum vote with 200sqft banner on campus
Crossposted on NRDC's Switchboard.
Last Friday night I went to the supermarket to buy several five gallon jugs of water. Being a longtime environmental advocate, it felt wrong to be buying bottled water. But more than that, it felt strange to be buying water to meet the drinking needs of fellow Americans. Many assume that in the wealthiest country in the world, everyone has access to all of the potable water they could ever need. But that's not necessarily true for many people living in shale country. The next day, I and 30 New York college students would be visiting Pennsylvania to see how fracking is threatening American communities and, more immediately, to deliver clean drinking water to people that have been living without it for some time.
Four years ago, students at the University of North Carolina -Chapel Hill helped pioneer campus coal work for the nation and today the Beyond Coal group continues that leadership pushing for coal divestment.
After 2 years of student pressure surrounding divestment, the UNC Chapel Hill Board of Trustees Finance & Infrastructure committee agreed to meet with students from UNC Beyond Coal Wednesday to discuss moving the University's endowment holdings out of the coal industry and into clean energy.
(meme by Allyse Heartwell / Fossil Free)About a month ago, we started to get out the word about a social media experiment - what if we took one day to double the size of dozens of divestment facebook pages? And here we are: Today is that day - Sep 18th - Divestment Double Down Day!

We wouldn't mind swimmin' with these fishes.
Check out Histiophryne psychedelica, a new species named for its crazy tan and peach stripes, and lackadaisical style of getting around the seafloor, which resembles hopping more than swimming. The fish is described in this month's issue of the journal Copeia.
No other fish is known to "hop," study co-author Ted Pietsch, a curator of fish at the University of Washington's Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, said in a statement. Divers first spotted the fish in January 2008 in the harbor of Ambon Island, Indonesia.
The fist-size fishies are covered with thick folds of skin that scientists think protect them while they're hunting for food amid sharp coral. Their tails are curled to one side, which may affect their ability to steer—hence, their bouncing mode of transportation.
Like chameleons, members of the anglerfish order typically change their color to blend into their environment—but H. psychedelica doesn't. David Hall, another co-author, believes the trippy fish may instead be mimicking corals.
Psychedelic, man!

But we've already talked a lot about the -- President Obama can't raise enough money through his tax plans to cover all the spend it.
At means he could pursue other ways to increase revenue come again -- carbon tax be among them joining us now is sandbags.
-- American action.
-- so Sam we know the president wants this thing he tried desperately.
Even -- Democrats holding both houses of congress however he couldn't get it -- try to pursue it in his first year of his second term.
Well there's certainly a lot of revenue out there a lot of projections are if carbon is -- when he.
Dollars per tonne of carbon it could generates.
Roughly trillion dollars over the next ten years of course that.
Figure between dollars would increase but.
I think it's pretty tough for Republicans to swallow another trillion dollars in revenue.
From a carbon tax so -- don't think it's very likely.
To get sixty votes in the Senate's or for speaker Boehner from Ohio which is a big.
Coal producing area which could be hit hardest by carbon tax I don't think it's likely that you -- right here is that.
Here's another scenario though there that the president knows how to maneuver and I think the one way he's gonna maneuver.
Is to kind of go against some of his environmental friends at least a little bit we saw one environmentalists on this show just moments ago say.
He was in favor of China moving towards natural gas rather than coal.
The president may sort of swallow his distaste for the fossil fuel part of of natural gas in order to be able attacks at war.
If he says go ahead just.
-- like crazy get as much natural gas is possible but we the government get to keep a lot of that by taxing it more maybe he'll go down that.
Well it would benefit.
Natural gas industry much more than cold is natural gas is about half its carbon intensive.
As coal is but.
In order for conservatives to.
Tolerate a carbon tax they would also have to get revenue neutrality that is they would want that trillion dollars back.
Somehow either through reduced corporate payroll taxes and they would also want to rescind the EPA current regulations on carbon so you wouldn't want.
EPA regulations on carbon and an additional apartment.
Sam this is a little different variation of the carbon -- when I'm suggesting is the president might pull the EPA off of natural gas producers a little bit give them a little room to produce even war.
With a proviso that the government gets to take more in terms of taxes so.
It's -- it's it's a higher tax on carbon but focus specifically on one section of the industry.
Well I mean and that's definitely a possibility but again I don't see for example.
Progressive ceding the ground on and heavy regulation.
For fracking -- the -- -- finalize rules and the Bureau of Land Management which is -- department of interior.
Is also set to finalize rules soon for federal land so I don't see significant regulatory pullback and that's what I think consumers would have to get at minimum.
Sam on the other hand I gotta say with the the president knows how to take advantage of what he sees this as sort of distractions of the Republican Party is -- Whether John Boehner keeps his job as speaker -- a whole lot of questions about whether that the Tea Party is has been decimated by -- whether they.
Rise up against -- the president may try to push some through.
Real fast -- -- effect.
Well it would it's -- -- -- not make things any easier for for speaker Boehner but I think there is.
A carbon tax and the next go around and -- -- thirteen self.
I think it will -- to drive a wedge in the caucus even further but I don't know that you'll see.
A ton of Republicans jump on board for carbon tax I don't I don't you won't have a lot of Republicans -- -- it but I think -- you'll find the president pushing in that direction.
Maybe focus narrowly on natural gas production thank you -- -- it's good to see you my friend appreciate it except me out -- -- --

Recapture spiritual health in Lenten season
For centuries, Christians have used the Lenten season to fortify spiritual health. The Christian church has developed a variety of "disciplines" or spiritual "workouts" to help people renew their personal spiritual life. These also allow people to prepare for baptism and to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter.
For centuries, Christians have used the Lenten season to fortify spiritual health. The Christian church has developed a variety of "disciplines" or spiritual "workouts" to help people renew their personal spiritual life. These also allow people to prepare for baptism and to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter.
Spiritual insights and habits gained during the six weeks of Lent can then be applied very successfully to the rest of life through the miracle Jesus Christ's resurrection.
Christ Lutheran Church in Superior invites people to rediscover some of these helpful disciplines during this Lenten season.
In addition to the regular 8 and 10:30 a.m. Sunday services, two midweek Vespers services are available each Wednesday at 12:15 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. during Lent. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday — Feb. 13.
Week by week you are invited to meditate on the incredible events and personalities through which God first brought His saving love into the world. Midweek Lenten services continue every through March 20. The theme is "God's Good and Perfect Gifts," and examines the passion and death of Jesus through the insights of the prophet Isaiah. Soup and sandwich suppers are served at 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday with a free-will offering to support various mission projects.
Another Lenten option is to explore the Christian faith with Pastor Schoessow in a small group study of Christianity. This study is modeled after the ancient practice of instruction that preceded baptism into the Christian faith. Bring your thoughts and questions to this series that will stretch your faith and mind. The small group study meets at 6:30 p.m. each Tuesday in the church library. An independent home-study course is also available.
Or join a Bible study on Sunday at 9:15 am or Wednesday at 10 a.m.
Still another opportunity is to make an appointment for a "conversation with the pastor" during Lent. We make appointments to see experts in medicine for the health of our bodies and minds. You are invited to consult with our pastor about your spiritual health and use the discipline of personal confession and absolution.
Lent is an excellent time to reconnect with the ancient Christian practice of alms giving or helping those less fortunate. This year, the emphasis at Christ Lutheran is alleviating hunger. Donations for the local food shelf will be received during Lent.
The congregation hosts Ruby's Pantry the third Thursday of each month and the youth will conduct a 30-Hour Famine in which they fast for 30 hours and gather donations to help alleviate world hunger.
Or you may wish to culture the discipline of fasting and prayer. There are numerous aids to private and personal reflection and growth during Lent. A number of free resources are available. Contact the church office for a copy.
Christ Lutheran Church is just east of the Mariner Mall at 320 N. 28th St. E. For information, call 715-398-3680.

Typical lefty response. Expecting conservatives to do all the work for the feckless lazy lefties.Originally posted by GePap
Where was the poly thread about this conservative commentator that got paid $250,000 by the Department of Education to speak for No Child Left Behind? Anyone?
I mean, with all the salivating we had from the right about CBS, one would think the keepers of "journalistic integrity" would have loudly jumped out to denounce such a grievous act, like the Government paying commentators with taxpayer dollars to shill for their own policies...
So, where was the thread?
I'm glad you finally rose to the challenge. (Likewise I finally rose to the appearance of a response)
Now that you have finally brought this travesty to life, Boo to Armstrong and more importantly to the crooks in the Department of Education

With stunning dresses, impeccable performances and thought-out answers, six contestants vied for the title of Miss Fullerton Saturday night.
"We're looking for someone who wants to do the community service, represent the city and really go out and work and prepare for Miss California," said Kathi Hikawa, executive director of the Miss Fullerton Scholarship Program.
"I am so excited. I've done it before and I know this year is going to be better," said 16-year-old Avalos, 2013 Miss Fullerton Outstanding Teen. "I'm going to give it everything I can to make Fullerton proud."
Avalos, who has been crowned Outstanding Teen for Garden Grove, said she has felt her confidence grow over the years.
"I started out as a 14-year-old," Avalos said. "I didn't really know what I was doing. My talent wasn't that great and I got better. Now I won the talent award."
Avalos danced to "Don't Rain on My Parade."
Avalos is a sophomore at Bolsa Grande High School and hopes to become a psychologist or counselor who helps people with drug addictions. Her platform is substance abuse prevention.
Both Thomas and Avalos will be expected to spend 500 hours this year attending Chamber of Commerce meetings, city events and participating in fundraisers.
Thomas, 20, is originally from Fresno, but is currently a student at Cal State Fullerton.
A theater major, Thomas sang "Stormy Weather" for the talent portion of the evening.
The most difficult thing for Thomas was the onstage interview.
"I am notorious for saying something that my friends can make fun of for the next three months and tonight I went off stage and air punched, because I said something right," Thomas said.
Thomas was asked whether she believed pageants are demeaning to women and how she would change the perception of people who felt that way. She said she would invite those people to pageants to show them that the women who go up on that stage are elegant and smart.
Thomas said she looks forward to being involved in the Fullerton community.
"I hope to be as visible in the community as I can," Thomas said. "And sing at baseball games and football games and any event that will let me sing, because I love to sing."
Of the six who competed, the judges selected Cal State Fullerton student Salisha Thomas to be this year's Miss Fullerton. Alongside Thomas was crowned Jazmin Avalos, who is this year's Outstanding Teen.
Though Thomas has competed in pageants before, this was the first time she was dressed in a sash and crown.
"I've seen the growth in her, her talent, her poise, her maturity. It's all grown," said Thomas' mom, Gail, of Fresno. "It just came together tonight."
Saturday was a night of firsts for the 11th annual Miss Fullerton and Fullerton's Outstanding Teen Scholarship Program.
This is the first year the program held open pageants for Miss Anaheim Hills and Miss North County – giving the title winners the opportunity to compete in Miss California in June.
Katie Wayland, 19, of Orange, was selected as Miss Anaheim Hills and Bree Morse, 21, of Garden Grove, was selected as Miss North County.

Recently a member of the Highlands Council was quoted as saying that the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act took people's property without compensation in violation of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article 1 Paragraph 20 of the New Jersey Constitution. According to a post in the EnviroPolitics Blog, Richard Vohden referred "to the devaluing of property values for those unable to subdivide or sell due to the law, Vohden said, "If that's not a 'taking,' I don't know what a taking is."" The Council's newest legal counsel has also repeated this sentiment. These are very unfortunate statements and just wrong on the law.
f the Highlands Act has devalued the property why is it not a taking? The Highlands Act, especially in the Preservation Area, required much more acreage to build on. In essence it created minimum lots sizes, which are large. It is this large lot sizes that some believe have taken their land. This is what Vohden is referring.
To understand why Vohden and others making the same claim are wrong you must understand takings law. The basis for takings laws can be found in the U.S and NJ constitutions. The Fifth Amendment of U.S. Constitution provides, in part: "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without compensation." Article 1, Paragraph 20 of the New Jersey Constitution provides: "Private Property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation." New Jersey Courts have determined that the New Jersey Constitution and the U.S. Constitution protect this right equally.
The New Jersey Supreme Court and the Federal Courts have ruled that the 2004 Highlands Water Protection Act is not a takings. But Vohden's statement is repeated often enough by people affected by the Act. I suspect that as we rebuild from Sandy, if we are to do it right, people along the coast of New Jersey may be saying the same thing.
When does a law or regulation take private property? I would start out by noting that for many years legal scholars and courts did not believe that the Constitution protected against "taking" of property through regulation. It was originally thought that the only taking the constitution protected against was a physical taking by the government. That thinking has evolved and probably will continue to evolve.
Currently, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that regulations that impact property are not a taking just because the regulation may have an impact on the value of the property. The Court has said in numerous cases, "Government hardly could go on if to some extent values incident to proper could not be diminished without paying for every such change in the general law." Everyone's ownership of land is subject to the reasonable exercise of state's authority. At one point the Court would look to see if the regulation addressed a noxious and harmful uses of the property. A property owner has never been able to use their property in a way to could harm another's property. If the regulation addressed a noxious or harmful use of the property than the courts would not find a taking even if the property had no use after the regulation.
When a regulation takes all value from a person, the Court has indicated that is a regulation that has the same effect as a physical taking and will require compensation under the Fifth Amendment with one exception. The Court has said that a state could avoid payment when the regulation controls an aspect of ownership that was not part and never was part of the property's bundle of rights. A property owner could not flood his neighbor's property so a regulations or a statute that prohibited such a use, even if that was the only use of the property would not be a taking.
When a regulation does not take all economic value from the property as a whole the court will take a look at whether the regulation substantially advances a legitimate state interest. If the legislation substantially advances a legitimate state interest than the Court is unlikely to find a taking. The Supreme Court in Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Commission set out some items to look at in these situations:
- Degree of harm to public lands and resources or adjacent private property
- Social value of the claimants activities
- Suitability of the activity to the area
- Relative ease with which the alleged harm can be avoided through measures taken by the claimant or the government
- Whether the use has be historically engaged in by surrounding properties.
In light of the criteria above, the Highlands Act clearly does not violate the criteria. The Highlands Act was enacted to counter the damage that unrestrained growth was having on the State's water supply. This unrestrained growth was impacting not only the quality of water but the quantity as well. There were no realistic alternatives to protect the water quality and quantity other than to protect the lands that recharged the waters. I would also argue that historically development in the Highlands area was very spread out and low intensity. It was only in recent years that development concentrated in the area. To sort of wrap this up, the Highland Regional Master Plan requires land within the preservation area and not part of a sewer service area to have large lots. Is that a taking? Under current constitutional law, the answer is no. Attacks against the Highlands Act have been unsuccessful in State as well as Federal Courts.
The lessons we have learned in the Pinelands and the Highlands may help guide us as we hopefully address our coastal region. Hopefully the State will put into place regulations to protect the coastal region. If that occurs I would suspect that we may hear the same false claims as in the Highlands. Luckily no matter how many times it is said, mere regulation of property is not a taking.

The American Bar AssociationHouse of Delegates passed a resolution on Feb. 8, 2010 at their Midyear meeting in Orlando urging the US Senate to ratify the Convention commonly referred to as the Rotterdam Rules. Thank you to Warren Warwedel, President of the Maritime Law Association of the United States for pointing this out. The ABA noted in its report that The Rotterdam Rules . . . set forth, with greater clarity, the rights and responsibilities of the interested parties. The Rotterdam Rules will provide greater harmony, efficiency, uniformity, and predictability for those involved in marine shipping.
Okay Senate, can we stop debating health care for just 5 minutes and let Toyota cool their heels while we get this done?

Known as the "Gateway to New Hampshire," Salem is one of the Granite State's finest communities. Part rural landscape, part small town atmosphere, residents living in Salem apartments for rent love their way of life here. With plenty of outdoor recreation, a pro-business attitude and ideal location near Interstate 93, there are many reasons why this charming community has seen its population grow more than four percent from 2000 to 2010, according to City-Data. Great schools, easy access to Boston and a highly motivated workforce are just some of the reasons why Salem is a great place to live, work and play.
Like many other small towns in New Hampshire, Salem was settled by English immigrants as early as the the late 1600s. The areas around Rockingham County were also central in the events that lead up to the American Revolution, with many of these early residents volunteering for the effort. Today, Salem remains one of the most popular places in New Hampshire because of its family-friendliness, low crime rate and wonderful community events. New Hampshire is known for its beautiful fall foliage during the autumn months, and residents and visitors still flock to the area because of its stunning landscapes.
One family-fun attraction near Salem is Canobie Lake Park, an amusement park located on serene Canobie Lake. Complete with roller coasters, carousels, a wet and wild water park and a fantastic Center for the Performing Arts that features arts, dance, music and theater, there are plenty of ways to have fun in Salem at this attraction.
Other attractions in the area include the more than 100-year-old Rockingham Speedway, featuring thoroughbred and greyhound races. Another popular place is America's Stonehenge, considered one of the country's first astronomically aligned calendars.

Back to Basics: Interfaces
When it comes to object-oriented programming there are few concepts as basic and important as interfaces. Only recently though, and at a snails pace, have .NET developers started to take advantage of the simple benefits interfaces have to offer. This interest stems from the core role interfaces play in some pretty hot topics, including: dependency injection, unit testing and mocking (to name a few).
