Breaking news: we just heard that the Office of Management and Budget has delayed the first deadline for NIH grantees to report their use of ARRA funds.
Instead of July 10, the quarterly reports are now due on October 10, 2009, reflecting spending through the end of September. Expect more guidance on reporting from NIH soon.
On June 10, 2009, NIAID held the second of its two annual planning and policy retreats, the Summer Policy Retreat. Here are some highlights.
Barring a shot of new funding, several factors are converging to push NIH paylines to unprecedented lows.
While a lot can happen from now until we see next fiscal year's budget, some dark clouds on the horizon could mean rough seas for scientists in FY 2010.
Barring a shot of new funding, several factors are converging to push NIH paylines to unprecedented lows. For one thing, we expect government deficits to dampen prospects for significant increases in the NIH budget.
On top of that, competition for NIH funds will be fiercer, with more applications and investigators going after a stagnant pool of dollars. Starting in FY 2010, we expect thousands of unfunded Challenge Grant applications to flood the system as new R01s and R21s, driving down success rates. And more new and existing investigators will be recompeting when their funded four-year—and two-year ARRA—grants expire.
Another uncertainty is the impact of the new peer review system on scores. Though NIH will develop guidance for peer reviewers, we don't know how applications will fare under the new scoring scheme compared to the old one. We can't predict reviewer behavior as much as we may try to shape it to meet the goals of peer review.
An even greater unknown will arrive starting with the January 25 receipt date (May for AIDS applications) when shorter research plans will force investigators to leave out or summarize much of the detail they had been including.
The cumulative result of these factors: even funded investigators should expect an annual loss of buying power since budget increases are unlikely to keep up with inflation.
Here's our advice for dealing with this exacting forecast:
Executives and managers heard an array of presentations, including several from the Office of Science Management and Operations on increasing Institute effectiveness and heightening efficiency by reducing administrative costs.
A focus on NIAID's ongoing collaboration with the Department of Defense looked at our partnership with DoD, including the Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program and National Interagency Biodefense Campus.
Reviewers are emphasizing overall impact, so be sure to take the new focus into account when you write your applications.
NIH's entree into the new peer review practices is going full steam ahead.
Under the new system, NIH is more strongly emphasizing an application's overall impact, as reflected by its changing the term "priority score" to "overall impact score."
And while only a few reviewers have used the new scoring scheme, so far, they've adjusted well, at least in our experience at NIAID. In their first meetings, reviewers used the full range of scores and edited scores and critiques after the meeting if their opinions changed.
How reviewers react to the new approaches can affect review outcomes, so be sure to take the new focus and practices into account when you write your applications.
As we told you above in Paylines and Progress Take Center Stage at Executive Retreat, we still do not know how the upcoming shorter research plans will affect reviewer behavior. But we will advise you as best we can and keep you posted when news comes in.
For more information on the NIH peer review changes read our articles "Inside the New Peer Review," "Watch a Video on Enhancing Peer Review," and "Learn More About Peer Review" as well as the Extramural Nexus article "Need Help Interpreting the New Review Scores?"
From now on NIAID's Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases will solicit collaborative research partnerships using research project grants, such as R01 and Small Business Innovation Research awards, instead of cooperative agreements.
For your next grant, you will submit applications electronically.
This change applies to many areas of research, including biodefense and some clinical projects. It's good news for small businesses, which will now compete against other small businesses, not larger companies.
The new change does not affect the scientific and technical aspects of the research, just the following administrative processes:
While cooperative agreements enable our staff to be substantially involved in the research, we now feel that much of the research community is experienced enough to make that measure unnecessary. Of course, we may still have exceptions.
Go to two of our new RFAs: Partnerships for Biodefense Food- and Water-borne Diseases (R01) and Partnerships for Biodefense Viral Pathogens (R01). Check back soon for two more.
For more information, see the April 24, 2009, Guide notice. If you have scientific or technical questions about this topic, contact Dr. Michael Schaefer at 301-451-3758 or email@example.com; for general questions, contact Dr. Anna Ramsey-Ewing at 301-435-8536 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you have a bar to award and haven't submitted documentation to get your bar lifted, contact your program officer now.
Our program officers work with NIH's Office of Extramural Research to get your bar lifted before the end of the fiscal year, but we need your paperwork immediately if we don't already have it.
You should always try to resolve bars to award as quickly as possible, but in most years you could wait as late as August and still have a chance to get your bar lifted.
This year, it's a different story. The large number of ARRA applications has stretched NIH to the limit, and it just cannot respond as quickly as usual.
For applications with a bar, this creates a race against time—and that race is coming down to the wire.
Don't wait. If we can't get your bar lifted, you run the risk of getting a restricted award that prevents you from spending until you can resolve study section concerns about your application.
Even if you have all your paperwork submitted before the end of the fiscal year, it could take several months for NIH to review the documents—possibly leaving you unable to spend money until December or later. Your program officer or grants management specialist can tell you more about this possibility.
For ARRA grants, we aren't making restricted awards under any circumstances—for either FY 2009 or FY 2010. If you can't get your bar lifted, we won't fund your application.
If you haven't tended to this matter yet, do it now. Read our Bars to Grant Awards SOPs to find out what you need to do and learn more at Know What a Summary Statement Means in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
LRPs can repay up to $35,000 of your educational debt each year.
As we've told you before, NIH's Loan Repayment Programs can repay up to $35,000 of your educational debt each year if you're an eligible doctoral-level researcher.
NIAID supports both the Clinical Research LRP and the Pediatric Research LRP. NIH just renewed those programs in these notices:
Read Loan Repayment Programs and NIH's Loan Repayment Programs Extramural Programs for more information. We last told you about LRP in the August 7, 2008, article "Get Your Education Loans Off Your Back."
If you have experience in basic immunology and the HIV-1 virus, consider being part of a multidisciplinary effort, the B-Cell Immunology Partnership Program For HIV-1 Vaccine Discovery.
Published on June 16, 2009, a new RFA solicits applications in two areas: 1) identifying new HIV-1 envelope immunogens and immunization strategies to induce broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies and 2) using basic B-cell immunology research to study how the induction and regulation of immune responses leads to an HIV-1 broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibody response.
This multiproject cooperative agreement program will support a partnership to communicate ideas and progress among PIs awarded from this announcement and PIs with existing awards in the program.
For the new RFA, you can request up to $1 million in direct costs in any year. NIAID anticipates using $3 million in annual total costs to make two or three new awards.
To apply, send an optional letter of intent by November 4, 2009, and submit your application by December 4, 2009.
It can't happen without you! To keep the biomedical science enterprise in gear, NIH depends on the generosity of dedicated people like you to serve on its peer review committees.
When you volunteer, there's something in it for you too: being a reviewer gives you an inside perspective of peer review, like what reviewers look for in an application.
At NIAID, we are always seeking qualified people to serve on our review committees. If you're interested, email Ed Schroder in our Scientific Review Program at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information see Thank You Members of NIAID Peer Review Groups and Advisory Committees.
Being a reviewer gives you an inside perspective of peer review, like what reviewers look for in an application.
NIH is expanding its pilot that allows reviewers on chartered NIH study sections to submit an R01, R21, or R34 at any time, regardless of standard receipt dates.
Starting July 15, 2009, NIH is extending this privilege to regular appointed members of these advisory groups: NIH Boards of Scientific Counselors, advisory boards or councils, and the NIH Peer Review Advisory Committee. Of course, there are still timing considerations, so be sure to read the details in the June 25, 2009, Guide notice.
Learn more about the reviewer role at NIH's Guidelines for Reviewers, which has templates and examples of critiques.
Fellowship applicants, bid adieu to paper applications and say hello to electronic forms.
You must submit your fellowship application electronically starting with the August 8, 2009, receipt date (or August 13 for F31s).
You must submit your fellowship application electronically starting with the August 8, 2009, receipt date (or August 13 for F31s). We reported this change on April 17, 2009, in "NRSAs: Fs Go Electronic, Stipends Go Up, T32 Review Criteria Go Down."
Submit electronically even if you previously sent in a paper application and are now resubmitting.
NIH made the transition official in its June 12, 2009, Guide notice and reissued funding opportunity announcements to reflect the move. For NIAID, these FOAs are:
Keep in mind that you have some steps to take before you can submit electronically, including requesting an eRA Commons account. Learn more at Get Ready Now to Apply Electronically in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
To help ensure that your application is problem-free, carefully read the instructions in the relevant FOA and the SF424 (R&R) Individual Fellowship Application Guide. You may want to pay close attention to the section on reference letters. For a brief summary, read Writing a Fellowship Application or the Fellowship Grants SOP.
This scenario may hit close to home: your application misses the payline, and it is either your last allowed resubmission or has problems you can't fix. Now what?
If you think that simply rewording your title or Specific Aims will pass muster, think again.
You'll need to create a new application—with the emphasis on new. Since non-new applications are withdrawn and not peer reviewed, it's important to understand what NIH means by "new" and why changing a word here or there won't be enough.
NIH defines a new application as "substantially different in content and scope with more significant differences than normally encountered in a resubmitted application." That means major changes to all parts of the Research Plan, including the questions asked, outcomes examined, or both.
For more information, see Options if Your Application Isn't Funded in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
If you think that simply rewording your title or Specific Aims will pass muster, think again. NIH will go over your application with a fine-toothed comb, screening it several times to determine whether it is actually new or just another version of an already reviewed project.
You'll have to pass multiple checkpoints. The Division of Receipt and Referral in NIH's Center for Scientific Review completes the first check while scientific review officers, peer reviewers, and program staff perform subsequent checks.
Bottom line: be sure the changes you make adhere to NIH's definition of "new." If you need help, touch base with your program officer to discuss your approach.
Feel free to send us a question at email@example.com. After responding to you, we may include your question in the newsletter, incorporate it into the NIAID Research Funding site, or both.
"Can I revise and resubmit my F31 application and if so, are the due dates the same as for a new application?" --Katrina Gwinn, Baylor College of Medicine
According to the Executive Summary in the F31 program announcement, you can resubmit. Learn about NIH's resubmission policy by reading the October 8, 2008, Guide notice.
In a nutshell, it says:
As for due dates, go to Standard Due Dates for Competing Applications. New, renewal, and resubmissions are due April 13, August 13, and December 13, and be sure to submit your application electronically. See the Fellowship Grants SOP for more information.
The shorter 12-page research plan will affect R01s starting with the February 5, 2010, receipt date or May 7, 2010, for AIDS-related applications.
NIH is phasing it in gradually, so some announcements may require the 12-page limit before then. Be sure to check the SF 424 Application Guide for your funding opportunity announcement.
For your other question, NIH hasn't provided details yet, but check for new information at Enhancing Peer Review at NIH.
If you submitted your R01 application on February 5, 2009, or later, you may resubmit once at any time. If you submitted earlier, you may resubmit twice until January 7, 2011. This rule applies to all R01 applicants, not just new investigators.
If you want to learn more about resubmitting an application, you may want to look at Part 6. If Not Funded in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
To be eligible for most career development awards, you must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. The one exception is the NIH Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00). That said, keep in mind the following:
For more information on this award, read our Pathway to Independence Awards (K99/R00) SOP.
If you have any further questions, please contact email@example.com.
Go to the following to learn more about the F31:
NIH has more than one F31 opportunity, but NIAID participates only in the diversity announcement cited above.

Great scouting report ....... Hate that red tide ...... Glad u got sum
Armed with croakers, spot, squid and pigfish, headed out of LC, bypassed the 1st and 2nd due to the number of boats, then straight to the 3rd. 10-15 south winds, I think a little higher at times, made for a slow ride. Tried both oceanside and bayside of the 3rd for nada. Headed to the fourth, same thing, nothing to show. Headed to the highrise, tried a couple drifts, then around the pylons for a skunk. Back to inside of the 3rd, then at the bend still no flounder. Getting late in the day, boats thinned out around the 2nd so decided to do some drifts oceanside of the second. First drift, we're on the board finally. Subsequent drifts also produced. 3 flatties 20-25"s. Should have parked here from the start. A little rough coming in. Red tide pretty much everywhere we went. Seen a lot of boats at the first and second any additional reports?
Great scouting report ....... Hate that red tide ...... Glad u got sum
Damn, serious movement to find the fish--Glad you got a few, and with some size. Was the tide moving out when you picked up the fish at the 2nd? And no fish at High Rise, hmm? Historically, this time of year is hot up there.
Way to stay with it and keep looking. Glad it finally paid off.
Weekend Mistress
Mike, way to hang in there until you found some. When are we taking your boat offshore out of OI or HI?
I dont stray from the No neck very much, but some years back I fished for flounder at the second. Is it still a conveyor belt? I remember you get in line for the drift. Get your baits down quick and then depending on the tide your drift was only a minute or so over the nice patch of bottom and then you wait in line again.
Very few boats at the second when we finally arrived. No real current, mostly wind driven drift.
Mike, just returned from travel, heading out again on the 16th (Sept. we slow down). May do the flounder thing again this weekend. Sunday looks better than Saturday.

Fine looking boat!
Everett, WA
Il colore del cielo, la forza del mare.
I got to take the D. St. D. with Shane for a spin, which delighted me. Though I don't want to put words into anybody's mouth, the sprit rig is temporary, and the rig planned (at least by Clint) is a balanced lug with mizzen. The boat, even with the sprit, moved right along-- canvassed appropriately and she would be speedy for sure. The stability (that's me on the gunwale) is awesome, which one would expect. I could climb right up to the bow or hang over the transom and feel right at home. Throw in some classic New England lines, and this New England boy is in loooo-oooove! I am quite taken with her. Sails good, rows good, can carry me and nothing else or carry a load with style. Doesn't seem to be a rocket-science build. What's not to love?
Good design by Clint Chase, and beautifully put together by ShaneFromMaine for prototype numero uno. This one figures large in my future stable. I was impressed.
. . . .the rig planned (at least by Clint) is a balanced lug with mizzen.
That sounds like a great plan! With my favorite rig in her, this could be my favorite dory ever!
If this post did not meet your needs, please consult this thread for more options.
I got the chance to sail the Deblois two weekends ago at the CLint Chase/Walter Wales talk.
the boat handled the breezy conditions wonderfully, with four aboard the dory slid along well with little heel in the 15-20+ mph wind and no reefs.
we were tweaking the sail shape a little and it was better when Shane tightened the snotter, I wonder if you could attach the snotter lower on the mast Shane? mabey right at the top set of reef cringles. this might tigeten the lower luff of the sail a little more.
The hull performed well throwing back the chop and making fine speed.
Another dory, I think a Gardner recorded design, possibly a Hammond, was sailing for the first time and sliceing along nicely as well
[QUOTE=keyhavenpotterer;2766410]very taken with these photo's of Clint's new dory design.
What kind of wood did you use for the model?
I made the model from 1/4" birch ply, the profile lifted off the 1/4 scale lofting and the molds lifted off the 1/4 scale body plan, and pine for the battens, scaled to be the same width as the laps. I drew the hull round sided at 1 1/2" = 1' and then redrew at quarter scale round sided. Made the model, lined off the planking, then transferred the new plank lines (the inside lap lines, actually) back to the 1/4 scale lines plan. Then made a new table of offsets and handed those and drawings to Shane. He drew the body plan out direct and made the frames, a couple molds, and stem/transom. He did a great job with the lines.
I can't wait to make the refinements to the design. More sea trials are necessary, but I know mine will be with a lug and mizzen. That said, I like the look of the boat with the sprit very much, more than I thought I would. Shane's sprit sail is from a John Dory we built at Compass Project. He saved a lot of money by reusing that sail, so I just drew that into the plan. The mizzen helps replace the lost sail area. 90 SF would be good, but a good sailor (like Christophe!) could probably just take the GIS lug (105) and step it for some serious fun. I'm all for using sail rigs in more than one boat if possible.
From the photos it looks like you located the CB just about in the center of the hull and the mast looks to be stepped about at the foot of the stem. It appears that the CE of that spritsail is well forward of the CLR of the hull. How is the balance with that arrangement, and how much weather helm does she carry, if any?
You are very observant, Terry! I mentioned that the boat was drawn with a mizzen and Shane has been sailing without it on account of the fact that he has not gotten around to making a mizzen and says the boat balances fine. When I sailed it there was a lee helm. So with the mizzen -- if the next builder follows the plan -- it will probably be just right. I'll also have a plan for just a sprit sail and no mizzen in which case either the Daggerboard will be moved fwd. the right amount and/or we'll rake the mast aft. I think a small sprit mizzen would be great for the boat. I was thinking of a lug main with sprit mizzen...I drew one of these for a Beachcomber and thought it looked dandy.
A little lee helm without the mizzen is a good sign, and I bet she balances out with the additional sail. Instead of messing with the board location, why not add another step just in front of the case? Ross Lillistone has multiple steps on his new Periwinkle design that permits a wide variety of sail options, including using the mizzen as a storm sail in a forward step. I do believe the Beachomber would be terrific as a lug yawl, but that CB would need to be more in the center.
The way the step is now, it is elongate such that the mast rake can be changed but it does not seem to make a big difference in balance, but I have only sailed the D St D once but it was in a lot of wind, so the feedback was good. I may do what you say, but I like the gated partner and ability to lift the mast into position. The Culler way is to have a filler block in the partner that can be reversed to allow for two positions. That is one reason I like the idea of a larger mizzen, that it can be used for a storm sail or, coming home downwind, you can row and have the sail up....motor sailing! I am trying to work a bit with Maine Island Trail to see what their members would like. They did think a motor well option would be good. OK, I guess, but not what I was thinking. I envision a downeast cruise in this dory for two, I designed it with this in mind, as well as spirited dory sailing. I think the Storer style foil adds a lot to the D St Dory performance...it's actually the same daggerboard (and similar trunk) as used in the Goat Island Skiff. The foil can be seen in the other thread. It is quite amazing what a foil like this does for the performance of a boat like a sharpie or a dory, both not thought of as 'performance' boats.

Ok hopefully this works. Sometime technology can get the better of me. Clint sent me images of some rendering for the Deblois Street Dory. They look sweet and I thought you all might be interested. He has the plans into cad, and in the next week or two should be able to start cutting kits and patterns on the CNC machine. I have the plans already and love this boat. Lug Yawl sail plan looks very cool in the drawings. I can't wait till she is in the water. Well here are the images. I hope.

Great job, Clint! That is a very above-average dory in looks alone! Do you plan to plank it five strakes or use the benefits of plywood to just keep a one-piece big garboard? It'll look great with the lug-yawl rig too!
If this post did not meet your needs, please consult this thread for more options.
It is the best modern set of lines for a traditional Swampscott style dory I have seen...
and I have looked at dorys by international small boat designers and major ply boat kit manufacturers.
Clint got some important design aspects right that allow the D.Street hull to ring true, where other modern designs are flat, just a little off, when compared with the great historic hulls.
Have to agree with Dan.
It's hard to say what precise combination of elements makes a boat look right, but you know a good one when you see it. There's a zillion dory designs out there; most are mediocre, many are terrible, and just a few are exceptional. Clint's is a keeper.
After hours of head buried in my CAD files, it sure was nice to get this feedback. Thanks guys. Next week I put together another 1/4 scale model like the one in post #1 but with NC cut planks to test the computer model. 3D CAD is powerful stuff, but wood is good. The real model will be an important test.
It might be too soon to ask, but what are your aims for this design?
Exclusive builder? Plans? Kits?
The proportions and curves are like music It really is a beaut!
I have a set of plans and Clint an I are discussing a kit. The plans are extremely detailed with a few different sail plans. The kits are not ready to be cut quite yet but soon. He should be able to cut some kits with in the next month or so. Give or take a little.
I know they are not exclusively builder plans but I think and Clint correct me if I am wrong, these plans are for Clint to use with his family row/sailing the east coast.
The only hitch is the name.
The average Wyoming knuckle-dragger would say Dee-blow-iss or Dee-bloys.
Most people uneasy with French wouldn't try to say it at all. Or they'd call it the D-Street Dory.
Whereas Goat Island Skiff presents no problems whatsoever.
why does everyone call it a GIS then?... must be those knuckle-dragging french speakers who are uneasy with English!
Dee-bloys is right, right?, thats how I say it, and I've never been to Wyoming...
there's no need for the correct French pronunciation of a street name in Portland Maine, mabey if Deblois st. were in Montreale you would have a point.
if your embarased about pronunciation call it a Swampscott dory.

James I believe he designed it to not only be build in plywood but also traditional lapstrake. Get on it. I really want to see that. If you build it I will trailer mine to Anacortes and sail with ya. What about Clint Chase Dory. The CCD for short. CCD is kind nice.

I can't see the screen....my head is so big, now.
James, Yes, a 5th plank is in the model so it can be built trad. The planks are a bit wider than say the Gardner dory, because I am biasing it a little more towards plywood and NC cut plywood for that matter.
Oh, and Deblois Street Dory sounds much cooler than Chase Dory. The name stays, boys! You think Deblois pronunciation is bad, you should hear the calls I get about Vivier's boats and the attempted pronunciations there...hey I live in Maine, half American, half -French Canadian. We say
"Duh-bloy". 'Duh-bloy' Street Dory.

The typical mistake modern designers make with a dory sheer is actually too much spring/ shape to the sheer strake.
With the D Street Clint has managed to resist the temptation of making his dory look like a little viking ship, or as a builder at Lowells called them "Bannana Boats"
A Swampscott type (unlike the banks and more so St. piere) should have a relatively flat sheer. The shape of the sheer has nothing to do with aestetics and everything to do with the arc formed by a relatively straight sheer plank bent around four frames at the angle dictated by the shape of the frames. The banks and St piere have more shape to the sheer because their sheer planks are at a greater angle than the Swampscott type.
The Sheer on the D Street looks about right, If I was building it I might give that sheer strake 3/4" more width amidships, flatening the sheer by that amount.
another major design cue that Clint got right, and designers like Bolger and Oughtred have missed, is the transom angle relative to the stem. They should be similar angles for a banks style and similar or a more upright transom for the Swampscott type, Clint got this, thats why the D street really does have the right look when compared with historic hulls.

Dan, You have a good eye. I actually lowered the sheer amidships about that much! Maybe it was 1/2" but I saw what you are seeing, too. I'll take a look at that...good to have other eyes. I felt the DSD #1 had a little more freeboard than really needed, which is why I did it, but didn't want to reline the whole boat. So I took it out of amidships and a touch out of the ends.
In CAD, I am still adjusting to the fact that one works in full size. You move a line and it look like you have made a big move. Then you check, and it is off 0.103.
This week I will put the physical 1/4-scale model together. Oh, one thing to recall is the lines in the model thus far are not plank lines but lap lines, the inside top corner of the underlying plank. So, all the lines will lower by the lap width, when layed out for cutting. Right now, I have a "stitch and glue dory"!
Are your CAD lines drawn to the inside of the planking Clint for cutting frames or are those fullsize plank patterns?
Dan, the lines are the inside planking lines. Built a ply cut model, quarter scale. Will share pics. The sheer strake will be widened. Otherwise no significant changes. I may bump sheer up amidships just a touch. Before modeling in computer, I did actually deduct about 1/2" from sheer amidships, so I may go back somewhat. Nice thing about computer models is the changes could be made lickety-split.
Clint and Shane,
That really is a good looking dory. Lean and mean. I can't wait to see the lug yawl rig. Great job!
Jim L.
Wait so who's going to add to the fleet of Deblois St Dories in time for the racing series this summer? I'm a very very beginner sailor but i think that I stand a decent chance in the Portland Maine D St Dory Class races starting this summer...maybe if somebody starts building one right now though I could have some competition? With fancy CAD inspired micro sheerline adjustments and everybody's favorite lug rig DstD#2 could be a real show stopper.
Honestly I couldn't be happier with "Solomon" (my dory, named after my late Grandfather--tradition thrown into the wind i know!) Anybody who finds themselves in Portland once the weather warms up is certainly more than welcome to take the boat out for a test sail/row. I have very little experience sailing small boats so i will refrain from putting my foot in my mouth with commentary in that regard but one thing that i have really loved about this boat is that in calm weather the boat rows fine solo but can also be rowed tandem or with 3 rowers. With three sets of oars the boat moves along really well.
I did some micro adjustments, as Shane put it. Bumped up the sheer strake widths a bit. All just visual mods at this point.
The physical modeling is a key part of the process. When the boat was being drawn by hand (pencil & paper!), the quarter scale model helps design the hull and lay out the lines. That was this model:
Now we do another 1/4 scale model to check the 3D CAD model:
An explosion! The hull is exploded and each part unfolded onto a 2D plane. Now comes nesting of all the parts. Parts are clicked and dragged to fit onto sheets. I do not have nesting software, so it is done manually.
Here I start the process of nesting the parts.
Parts can be nested more tightly than doing it the old fashioned way, saving a number of sheets of plywood.

The following is sincere, not criticism. I quote:
"Clint got some important design aspects right that allow the D.Street hull to ring true, where other modern designs are flat, just a little off, when compared with the great historic hulls"
This seems like reinventing the wheel to me, as yet a non boat builder. Other posts comment on the lack of eye appeal of modern dorys. I realize all this is subjective, but if the traditional dory has it right, what is the goal of a new design? Is it adapting a proven design to modern build methods, desire to sell plans or boats?
By the way, I really like the looks of this boat, it definitely gets my attention, and I will show it to a friend who is looking around for a summer build project.
You actually identified one reason yourself here . (I really like the looks of this boat)
One would have to admit that this is a particularly good looking hull.
The lining off is superb .
Traditional work boats designed to carry a load don`t make the best recreational craft either .
When Bolger designed the Gloucester Gull, or Light Dory , he did not set out to reinvent the wheel either, just make it better.
HH. Payson said :Just about everyone agrees that with the Gloucester Gull, Phil Bolger created the perfect rowing dory.

The "designed to carry a load" argument does not hold water when considering the Swampscott type designs.
Most swampscott type hulls were actually designed with good rowing and sailing as the primary concern and carrying a load was secondary but important... as it is today if you want to carry a market gunner safely to the Cape Anne ledges in 1911 or a family to a beach or camping gear to a site in 2011.
Clint has a nice dory precisely because he has gone out of his way to look at the old lines and not stray far from them, You can see many similar shaped and dimensioned hulls flipping through old photos of Newengland shore line.
It should be obvious to all that the Bolger "light dory" or Glocester Gull" 'has its roots with the banks dory not a Swampscott.
A design most certainly designed to carry a load.
My point was that Bolger took that boat and improved it.
Bolger took a burdensome Mule and turned it into something else , not re - invent it.
The argument more than" holds water !"
Clint took that Swampscott and retained that "good rowing and sailing " and ( to my eye ) he improved it. He also, like Bolger , did not re- invent it.His boat may well be remembered , in the future , as an incremental , evolutionary improvement , in the tradition of Chamberlain and others before him.Most swampscott type hulls were actually designed with good rowing and sailing as the primary concern and carrying a load was secondary but important.
The original poster questioned the issue of re - inventlng the wheel.

My inspiration for the D' St. Dory was my constant reading and looking at The Dory book. Sam Mannings illustrations are really what inspired me to draw a dory, a Swampscott type, but one with a little more waterline beam/initial stability for bringing out kids and family, but one that stilled looked like a Swampscott. As you increase beam you start to lose that look, I learned. The DSD is about as much a sailing dory you can get without becoming like a Mower dory or X-dory type. I nearly did the Alpha-Beachcomber, but my wife felt it was a little much. We settled on 18-19' size. The Culler dory was the only one of a Swampscott type in this size range, until I learned of a shrunk down Beachcomber at Mystic. That is a lovely boat and I plan on measuring it and getting it drawn. Ultimately, I was drawn to draw a Swampscott myself. I don't really need to have one myself, just the satisfaction of the drawings and seeing others enjoy the boat. It is a terrible amount of fun, even if there is a little bit of reinvention, or not.
I welcome the debate...dories are worth talking about.
I really enjoy reading about your process , Clint.
I find it quite inspirational.Your documenting about modeling in particular.You have done a fantastic job refining the lines.
It`s certainly still a Swampscott , but one of the best looking ones around.
That photo of you on the gunwales says a lot. It can be quite difficult to refine lines and not wonder too far off
the intent.
I appreciate your skill and abilities.

Buca di Beppo - Chandler
Online Reservations
I cannot recall the name of our first course, but it was absolutely delicious. It was chicken with artichokes and capers. My son and I would return again, especially for that. Our reservation was in a quieter spot and I much appreciated that as I have a hearing loss. The waiter was most helpful and very kindly took two photos of us. Thank you for a great Easter.
Quick stop for lunch at Buca and another good experience. Buca's normal portions are over-sized (family style dishes), so I chose one of their lunch selections. Reduced down, the portion size was just right for me. Our server was very friendly and the service was quick. Definitely recommend Buca for either lunch and/or dinner - it's a family favorite.
The service was attentive without being smothering, the food arrived promptly and was delicious. We had a reservation ,but we were seated early so that's a plus.
We had a great Mothers Day with you. We drove over 25 miles to visit your restaurant for the first time and it was completely with it. We got great deals, amazingly delicious food and the servers were excellent. We will be back!
Great place to go with a large group, family and kids. Food is also in proportion for large groups also.
A great mothers day dinner with family, made reservations on OT for 4:30, all set, showed up, had table waiting for us in a packaed restaurant, table was in lounge which was great smaller room, much quieter!!!. Service was supberb, quick , food was out fast and was great.
I went there with my wife for her birthday. I told them the occasion, and they were on it, cake and the works. I like the way when you enter the place, they take you through a tour the kitchen. Ya, the kitchen you see all of the place on the way to your table. I think that was great.. Now the food, we could not eat all of a small order, and it was very good. This is a good place to take your family, and friends, the more the merry. I like this place
Or waiter was not the best. he forgot drinks and did not check up on us. it was like when he was only there for the job. not the best people person. he was ok. but it could have been better. hid whole attitude was a little off. almost like he did not care. it may have been an off day. we all ha e them but mabey he needs a little reminder that his of days need to be left in the kitchen...not at the table.
First time at this place and I loved it! We loved it! Took my husband for Fathers Day and he, the kids and myself couldn't be happier with our meal! Loved that the servings were for two and we took the extras home....that went over well later on when we were all looking for a little more of that delicious food. Great place to go with family or for just me and my husband....which is what I plan on doing in the near future! :P
This was my 3rd time eating at Buca, I got The linguine frutti de mare and it was AMAZING!
The food was good.. but normally great.... usually go to BDB in california so maybe that is part of it?? The dishes were bland... lacked umph!
Decent food for the price, the waiter didn't seem happy to be there, but he was still on top of everything.
Service was excellent, the server was good-natured and and did a great job. The food was excellent as usual. We brought our own birthday cake in and this was welcomed by the restaurant. I very much appreciated being able to do that.
Service was good. Decor is nice but food was just okay.
Though we ordered light, the staff was excellent, just the right amount of attention and not intrusive. We shared an apple-Gorgonzola salad with chicken added, bread and drinks. After a slight mix-up on the order, the server took care to explain how she had adjusted our bill. After a late lunch, we lingered to talk and catch up with things, eventually moving to the bar, and the servers continued to be attentive and non-intrusive, allowing us to continue our visit comfortably. I would recommend Buca di Peppo as a comfortable family kind of place for lunch, and beyond.
The food was delicious, our waitress very attentive and prompt in getting us our drinks and anything we needed. Great job!
Food and service is great have just about order everything on the menu....have just about taken all my family and everyone can't wait to go back if they havnt already. Have also dinned with my friends and co workers and they are hooked too. This is a great place for special occasion have had two birthday dinners that were great. And don't forget takeout makes a great at home dinner.
We celebrated our daughter's 18th birthday "family style" with lots of cousins, aunts and uncles. The food was delicious and the atmosphere perfect for spending time together. Thank you for a memorable evening. We can't wait for the next gathering.
The food was tasty and very authentically Italian. Family style eating is great for a birthday or other celebration and when we asked for a round table, we were quickly accommodated. My only complaint would be that a complimentary dessert (just a single serving) should be offered to the birthday person! It would have been a nice gesture. Crazy kitschy decor was fun!
Family dinner of 6 for my Mother's 96th birthday. Comfortable round table in a corner (we were originally put in a booth seating 6 but it would have been cramped and our request for a different table was accommodated). Server was helpful, attentive, and at the same time gave us sufficient privacy. Food was excellent. Everyone at our table remarked about the excellent food and service. We will definitely go back!
I come to Buca Di Beppo every year to celebrate my birthday and I'm never disappointed! The food, service and atmosphere are always amazing! By far my favorite restaurant!
Been there numerous times now....love this place....larger portions work for my family....we order to or 3 items we all like and share all the way around! Great food, great service, great place to eat! :)
Great for family gatherings and groups. Food good.
We had a location with a round booth and room for 2 high chairs. The kids were in a great location where other patrons weren't subjected to their activities at the table. The wait staff were accommodating and our waitress charmed the boys. The food was traditional Thanksgiving fare, but the green beans were scrumptious as was the stuffing, which I normally do not like. A+ on every aspect of our experience, including the two changes made to reservations with various employees on the phone. Everyone made our Thanksgiving a pleasant and tasty treat.
We booked for Thanksgiving brunch. It was busy but the servers were great. The food was great as there were choices on either a traditional Thanksgiving fare or Italian. The Thanksgiving was really good, especially the dessert cannoli's!!
Food very good lots of it cheeesy garlic bread yummy n fun to eat in the kichen

Unofficial Release problem
Cyrus 01 Nov 2007
I get an unofficial release warning when I run AP (not apup). How do I check for the update which failed validation? If there is no way to do so currently, perhaps a small BV script could be written to do so? Any advice would be appreciated.
Renato 01 Nov 2007
I guess that you've executed apup.exe and then AutoPatcher, right? If so, there's the reason. Those new modules weren't included in the verification file (xp_core.rti). Don't worry, it's normal. When we release the next version, it will be signed as official.

In other words - must simplify for AIM readers - opposing the Medicaid expansion means South Carolina still gets uninsured using the ER for free ( driving up our premiums) while we do NOT get the benefit of the health care reform which pays that cost.
With stiff necked Haley, we still get to send our tax money in to Washington, but instead of our money paying for uninsured South Carolinians our money will pay for poor in Virginia, New Mexico, etc.
And we will STILL have to pay higher premiums here because of stiff necked Haley.

While Hamas and Israel have been throwing deadly sticks and stones at one another yet again, and causing the deaths of many civilians caught up in the mess seemingly without end, all over the world there is another silent army connected by the Internet, working tirelessly to another end. The rockets and bombs from the Gaza protagonists have been fuelled by self-righteousness, and aided and abetted by long-held enmity and strife over real estate, ideology and misconceptions about God and whose side he is on. The Mosaic commandment, "love they neighbour as thyself" has been forgotten.
Getting back to this unseen society, neither Mr Bush, nor the Israelis or for that matter Hamas are aware of its threat to the bellicose men of this world. No, it is not a religious order or an armed struggle. My wife belongs to this covert group and receives packages regularly from around the globe. Our post office mistress, if I may use this antiquated name, often recounts to me that she has received yet another parcel of "crack" as she has often heard my wife calling her secret packages.
On Friday I went to the post office with her to get a parcel. When she got back in the car, I saw it had foreign stamps on it and a green label from Customs. She unwrapped it hurriedly and then streaked with joy. "You'll never guess what this is, Roger!" she exclaimed. I add here that it is my job usually to guess the species whence the stuff comes. I made some outlandish guesses all to no avail. "It's musk ox. This is the crack of the knitting world". Now I never would have guessed musk ox. Angora, yes, mohair, yes, llama, yes but musk ox, no.
She belongs to an international internet group of knitters and our house is, dare I mix metaphors, awash in wool and even some wool that has not been washed or is "raw". I have occasionally unwittingly opened a cupboard to find myself on the floor under half a ton of wool. Now she is no ordinary knitter but a "black belt" knitter of socks using five thin bamboo needles and daily she communicates with fellow knitters across the globe. They are mostly women but even knitting knows no gender boundaries. For non-knitters the five knitting needles are removed before you wear them lest you end up in an orthopaedic ward.
I don't know if you know what a musk ox looks like but is a great hairy sullen-looking beast with long curling horns that is usually found up to its waist in snow somewhere near the Arctic Circle. We Australians are used to scenes of shearers hunched over, holding a sheep between their legs while with one hand they shear off the wool in one large connected layer we call a fleece. Now if you try that with a musk ox you'll soon find yourself in an ambulance. I leave the rest to your imagination and you will see why musk ox wool is so dear.
The prevailing spirit of this coven of knitters is their generosity. When my wife was having treatment for breast cancer over eighteen endless months, one lady from Scotland sent my son a maroon Harry Potter jumper/sweater she had lovingly knitted complete with his initial, "K" on the front. Daily emails from fellow knitters kept my wife afloat at times I thought she'd sink under the appalling and seemingly endless burden of her treatment.
As a sailor who loves the hand-knitted cabled Aran jumper I wear at sea, I pay tribute to the women of Norway, Scotland, and many nearby islands who until recently, knitted their fishermen kinsmen jumpers with special patterns to identify them and also their bodies when they were lost at sea. Sleeves were reknitted when they wore out and they were passed on from father to son.
With regards the Vikings, the cloth they used for sails was not linen or cotton but wool from a special sheep with very oily fleece, and made by women on a loom. This had special properties of water resistance and stretch which imparted to the sail a curve which in turn allowed the longship to point closer to the wind than any ship for hundreds of years after.
If only the leaders of Hamas and the Israelis could settle down to some sock knitting for their children instead of the rampaging of indiscriminate fire and brimstone of their anger, and trade wool and advice. It is impossible to knit in anger. It is an act of love and patience, done in contemplation and not without its mistakes and undoing at times. The end-product is warmth and loving which clothes and comforts the soul. It is a complex art that would befuddle the minds of most world leaders and is folly to the haughty. It is no small matter to make something in three dimensions with a bend in the middle for the heel and to fit the foot of your child or husband. Indeed "turning the heel", as knitters say when they fashion the heel, requires serious intellectual function including memory, mathematics, geometry and physics, not to mention physical skill, the right tension etc and much more than is required in the aiming of a rocket by computer or the dropping a bomb from ten thousand feet using GPS.
There is a hymn I sang today which ends like this:-
"Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind and fire,
O still small voice of calm,
O still small voice of calm."

Creating Images with openSUSE Build Service 1.5
The newly released version 1.5 of the openSUSE Build Service (OBS) will enable developers to build not only software packages but entire distributions.
Besides exporting ISO images and FTP trees, OBS 1.5 can create installable images, such as the live CDs and DVDs.In addition, the new version can create images for installable USB sticks, Xen images and VMware images.
Like SUSE Studio, the new capabilities of the Build Service can be attributed to KIWI.
OpenSUSE 11.1 was the first release to be built entirely using the Build Service. Version 1.5 also comes with some experimental features including support for cross-architecture for ARM and package download on demand.
An abundance of articles dealing with the Build Service can be found on the openSUSE Wiki.

Price is a sensitive issue when it comes to top products and it's no different with notebooks. It's in fact, a little more difficult when it comes to notebooks because the competition between brands that produce a line of similarly priced and spec'd notebooks is so hot that choosing between them is a painful task. Toshiba as a brand, isn't as popular among the public as say, a Dell, Lenovo or HP, but like we've seen in the past, there are products that can possibly match up or even be better than most of the mainstream products by popular brands available in the market. Toshiba's Satellite line of notebooks have been around in the Indian market for ages, and their M840 is their sub-45k offering, which we'll be reviewing today. Design and build quality The review unit we received, came in a unique greenish-blue colour, which I didn't partucularly like, but some at our labs sure did. The finish is glossy and it's predominantly plastic, so it doesn't have a premium, solid feel to it. The same finish is carried on to the front, along the trackpad and the panel below the keyboard, which doesn't really look nice. A slightly contrasting colour and finish would have been better. A USB port on the left side The look isn't the only problem, it's also the strength. It's not the sturdiest notebook of the ones that sells around the Rs. 45,000 mark, but it is lighter - much lighter. Most of the notebooks in this price range weigh around 2.4 to 2.6kg. The Toshiba Satellite M840 in comparison, is a mere 2.1kg. So, if you're looking for a light notebook specifically, this should be one to consider. It's also smaller and thinner, so putting it in a bag and carrying it around is easier than the larger 15-inch screen notebooks. This particular one comes with a 14-inch screen. The hinge that holds the screen up isn't particularly strong. It's decent but there's some wobbling that can be seen if you were to tap it a bit. Features What the Satellite M840 lacks in build quality and design, it makes up in features. There's a Core i5 2450M processor in place of the Core i3 processors that you find on notebooks priced around the Rs. 40,000 mark. This should help boost performance if you're using applications such as image and video editing tools and if you're going to be encoding lots of media. Unlike the more expensive ASUS K53S, the Satellite M840 only has a 500GB hard drive and no discrete graphics solution either, but then it's also around Rs. 4,000 cheaper than the ASUS notebook. You also get USB 3.0 capability. Audio and video connects on the other side The keyboard layout is different from other notebooks. They aren't a major issues but something worth noting, if you're thinking of buying this notebook. The keys are spaced out quite a bit, and they are quite slim and thin. They lack a chunky feel to them and feel extremely light. |

How We Test
The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There's a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they're buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.
Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn't fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
What do the ratings mean?
Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
1 - 3
The product is bad in almost every aspect. We strongly advise against purchasing this product.
4 - 6
An average product that isn't the best you can buy, but isn't the worst either.
7 - 8
Product with this rating is highly recommended because it's priced sensibly, has a good set of features and performs well.
9 - 10
Exceptionally excellent product with features and performance unlike any we've seen in the past. A must-have for everyone!

Changed trans & transfer case fluid, changed the oil, installed new rear glass shocks, upgraded interior lights to LEDs, upgraded headlight wiring harness, new 100/80w H4 halogen bulbs. Oh yeah installed my new Spidertrax spacers too. Was checking out what's involved in changing the RMS and found half the oil pan bolts less than finger tight. Tightened 'em up and decreased everything, that ought to slow the drips sown a little! Last weekend I changed the fluid in both diffs and gave her a tune up. Purrs like a kitten now So far I've installed XRC bumpers front & back, pocket flares, touched up the paint (still need to plasti dip the bezels, door handles, and mirrors)' relocated the mirrors, added tactical bags, seat covers, and Qtec floor liners to the inside. Replaced all 4 rotors with Black Magic parts, and added a Dynomax cat back exhaust. I've had this rig less than two months and I will keep it for as long as I'm able to drive, or she still rolls, whichever comes last!! |

Being stupid (of course), tried to put a front wheel up on a large drift wood log while wheeling on the beach, but mis-judged the wheel placement, came off the log, and found myself high-centered on the front diff.

Eagle Eye Type LED Rock Lights Quote:
I wanted to improve lighting under the Jeep for off roading at night. For the front I installed two small but bright 3 watt Eagle Eye type LED lights inside front fender flares. Theses light were less than $5 a pair shipped from Ebay. They are waterproof and built to hold up to exterior locations. Here is the LED light above the front tire mounted at the bottom of the fender. I drilled a small hole,and attached the light with a wire tie. For lights under the center of the Jeep I mounted four more of the same lights on the frame, two on each side. That makes a total of six lights. Since the 6 lights together only draw less than 2 amps, I put them all on one circuit. Here is how I mounted one light on frame. It's tucked up just behind the front tire. The frame already has a small opening and I took a step drill to enlarge that opening enough to pass the stem of the LED light through. This location is good as it keeps the light up high and fairly well protected from bushes, rocks, squirrels or whatever else gets ran over. Here is the LED light mounted on the frame just in front of rear tire. Again passed the stem bolt of the light through the enlarged opening in the frame. I ran wire enclosed in a loom from the lights and connected to the door switch circuit inside the cab using a relay. This allows the LED lights to come on when the door opens. I also added a rocker switch to be able to manually control the lights. The rocker switch for the lights is mounted on the passenger air bag switch plate. This plate can be pried up with a small screwdriver. I installed the rocker switch near the bottom of the plate. This should be a three position switch so the lights can be on/off/auto with auto being on the door switch circuit. And here is how the lights look at night in the snow. The eagle eye type LED lights also come in 6, 9, and 10 watt versions. I've order a couple 9 watt lights and will install them under the rear bumper when they come in. I'm expecting them to be a lot brighter. I have had these lights on for a couple months and they survived hunting season. I have not had any problems going through brush, snow, gravel roads, or water. The do get dirty though and need to be wiped off after a real mudd'in. |
cozzmo21 | Agreed, that looks sick dude, would like to do something like that to mine. Sick! | |
Rude Dog | Tell more . The brand, how many lights used? Etc. | |

Most helpful review
good film
By titch392000 from North East Lincolnshire , 20 Oct 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
It was great to see Sandra Bullock doing a thriller. Although it is a little predictable, it is still very enjoyable. It's worth renting if you want something a bit edgy without being too hard to follow.- Was this review helpful to you?

(119)Solid little thriller, saved by its cast
By TheWatchman (753 reviews) from Suburbia , 11 Oct 2013Murder by Numbers is a pretty run-of-the-mill sort of thriller: two spoilt, rich teenagers decide to commit a murder and see if theyre smarter than the cops. Unfortunately for them, the cops are Sandra Bullock and Ben Chaplin and these two just wont let go. So its a cat and mouse sort of game between the two pairs. Like I say, it doesnt sound like anything that special and its not. However, the film is raised above average by the stars. Sandra Bullock acts out of her kookie-comedy kind of comfort zone. You may expect her to fall over or hit her head on a frying pan, but she never does she plays it straight all the way through. Plus the two kids are kind of creepy and you will be rooting for Sandra and Ben to bring them to justice. And thats about it. If you like either Sandra Bullock or a better-than-average cops hunting killers kind of film, you should like this at least enough to give you a couple of hours entertainment.- Was this review helpful to you?

Fire crews tried hard to keep a boat fire from spreading at a South Florida dock Wednesday (1/23).
The fire started on one boat docked in Downtown Miami, Wednesday afternoon then quickly spread to another..
At first firefighters were worried there might be passengers on the boats but it turned out no one was on board.
Crews were able to stop the fire at just the two boats. So far they don't know the cause.

Virgin Blue Regional Routes 1st Birthday Sale
Thursday 5 February 2009: To celebrate the first anniversary of the launch of Virgin Blue services between Canberra - Sydney and Canberra - Coolangatta, as well as Port Macquarie – Sydney and Albury – Sydney, Virgin Blue is launching an internet only '$1 for one hour' sale today, Thursday 5 February, 2009.
One thousand seats will be on sale for just $1* (inclusive of taxes) from 8.00pm (EST) for one hour or until sold out for flights across the four city pairs Canberra – Sydney, Canberra – Coolangatta, Port Macquarie – Sydney and Albury – Sydney.
Following the introduction of Embraer E-Jets to its fleet in December 2007, Virgin Blue concentrated its resources on launching regular jet services between major city centres and key regional ports in a bid to revive competition for travellers.
The addition of flights to these markets was the first time an executive-style jet aircraft service had been offered on these routes which were traditionally serviced by turbo-prop aircraft.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "It's obvious travellers to and from these regional ports appreciate the comfort, convenience and affordability of regular jet services as our services have been well supported.
"Importantly these services have also helped by providing a critical link to major business centres such as Sydney and beyond as well as giving a shot in the arm for the tourism and business sectors of these regional areas."
Currently Virgin Blue operates eight return flights each week day between Canberra – Sydney, double daily flights between Port Macquarie – Sydney and Albury – Sydney and daily flights between Canberra – Coolangatta.
Since launching services to Albury and Port Macquarie Virgin Blue has also progressively added 14 connecting flight options to enable Guests a wide range of network connecting options to each of these ports.
Lead-in fares on most of these routes have also decreased over the last year giving travellers even more reasons to pack their bags.
"Virgin Blue has proven that not everything in the market gets more expensive with time, by introducing some decent competition on these routes we've encouraged other operators to lower their fares to remain relevant which has resulted in more affordable travel for all," Brett Godfrey finished.
*Seats are limited and may not be available at peak times or on all flights. Checked baggage charges will apply. Pre-pay $8 online for up to 23kg of checked baggage per person per one way flight, or pay $20 at the airport for the same allowance. Fares are one way on the net. You cannot cancel these fares and obtain a credit for use later. Fares are for travel from 29 April, 2009 - 25 June, 2009. Visit www.virginblue.com.au for more information.
