Kid Nation Party Leads To CurfewOctober 3, 2007 08:20:24 by Joe Blackmon
On the third episode of Kid Nation, the kids threw a big party at the
town saloon, where they chugged root beer. Tired out from the party,
several of the kids struggled to get up the next morning. Greg banged
posts and pans to wake everyone up. The town journal suggested to the
town council that they create order in the town and institute a curfew.

for dinner. The town council decided to let the town members vote on
whether or not to kill any chickens, and the town voted in favor of a
chicken slaughter.

Will Kid Nation Controversy Lead To Blockbuster Ratings Or Cancellation?August 25, 2007 03:35:22 by Joe Blackmon
The new CBS reality TV series Kid Nation is receiving the type of
controversy-driven publicity that would make Michael Moore turn green
with envy. A parent has complained about conditions bordering on abuse
and neglect, the New Mexico Attorney General's office is investigating
whether state laws were broken, and the Smoking Gun has published the
show's contract with parents.

Kid Nation Cast AnnouncedAugust 15, 2007 11:24:11 by Joe Blackmon
CBS introduced today the 40 kids who will participate in KID NATION,
the new reality-based series which premieres Wednesday, Sept. 19
(8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. KID NATION features 40 kids, or "Pioneers," who will have
40 days to form a new society in a ghost town that died in the 19th
Century. These kids, ages 8-15, will spend more than a month without
their parents or modern comforts in Bonanza City, N.M., attempting to
do what their forefathers could not – build a town that works. They
will cook their own meals, clean their own outhouses, haul their own
water and even run their own businesses – including the old town saloon
(root beer only). They'll also create a real government – four kid
leaders who will guide the kids through their adventure, pass laws and
set bedtimes. Through it all, they'll cope with regular childhood
emotions and situations: homesickness, peer pressure and the urge to
break every rule they've ever known.

text: It's often said that the enemy of the good is the great. In situations where continuous improvement is a "do-or-die" way of life – for example, a Cold War military-industrial complex – the life of a merely-satisfactory design is nasty, brutish and short. Such was the case for the U.S. Air Force's B-36 Peacemaker bomber. The Soviet equivalent? Comrade Sergei Simonov's "Samozaryadniy Karabin Simonova, 1945," known to the world today as the SKS carbine.

Written by Dylan Callaghan
(August 19, 2011)
There's spoiling the plot of a new movie and then there's just not being a very nice person. This makes discussing British author David Nicholls' film adaptation of his bestselling novel One Day awfully tricky.
Let's start with what we can say: the film stars Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess and is a love story of the largely unrequited kind spanning some two decades. Our star-crossed lovers are Emma (yes, Emma) and Dexter who meet the night of Emma's university matriculation, July 15, 1988. From there we follow as they again and again just miss their destined connection by the very flailing clumsiness that accompanies only the truest love.
In a fresh narrative device, the storytelling is pinned to that same July 15 each year. Where 19th-century England has served as the backdrop for so many of One Day's classic predecessors, (Nicholls was actually adapting Thomas Hardy's Tess D'Ubervilles for the BBC when he began writing the novel), here we are treated to many of the same themes – class, materialism and virtue – played against the contemporary zeitgeist of the last two decades.
So it's a lot about love with a good bit of class politics as well.
Nicholls spoke with the Writers Guild of America, West Web site about his unique narrative hook, the Tess-influenced writing of the novel and its adaptation, and why, though he insists he harbors no ill will toward them in real life, he always writes posh private school boys as capital jerks.
I understand you wrote this novel while working on an adaptation of Tess?
That's right. I was doing Tess for the BBC, and I was writing this alongside. I can never write an original novel and an original screenplay at the same time, but I find the process of [doing an] adaptation and writing fiction actually complements each other.
Is it a sort of shadow relationship when you're writing a novel and adapting another one, in this case one of the best novels ever written? Is there osmosis between the two?
It does feel a bit as if you're using different parts of your brain. It's very hard to write a novel and not put a lot of yourself on the page. Part of you is going to come up, part of your experience, your past, and your opinions. Writing a novel is very immersive and very up and down, good days and bad days. But adapting a book, especially a wonderful book like Tess, and doing a very faithful adaptation, feels more editorial, more structural and technical, I suppose like more of a craft.
How cognizant of making this into a film were you during the writing of the novel?
Genuinely, not a great deal. It wasn't something I thought about. Once I'd worked out the story, it felt absolutely like a novel… there seemed to me to be a great many practical difficulties in putting it on the screen. Expense was one issue, because it jumps all over the world. Casting was going to be an issue because it's very hard to find actors that can play that age range…
Twenty years.
Convincingly, yes. Genre was an obstacle. I knew that it wasn't going to be a conventional romantic comedy, even though it has kind of a classic romantic comedy premise, you know? It's the When Harry Met Sally, will-they-won't-they-get-together? thing, but going in a very different direction. So it seemed like there were all kinds of reasons why it wouldn't make a good movie. In reality, actually, most of the people who saw the manuscript passed on it as a movie. People thought that the device of the same day for 20 years was a literary device rather than a cinematic one. How do you tell the audience it's the same day and why do you show the same day?
How long was that first draft?
It was about 122 pages. We inevitably had to trim that down and trim it down. I'm sure I must have done 25 passes on the script. The biggest challenge was to try to get rid of any sense of episodes, of it being 20 short films, trying to get the action to flow smoothly, choosing which set pieces to play at length and which set pieces to treat very economically.
We really focused in on seven or eight big confrontations and used the years in between more to establish situations and information rather than playing them at length.
So you had seven or eight kind of tentpole years and then the rest as the ether?
Exactly. We realized we couldn't have 20 equally-sized chunks, that some years would have to last 45 seconds and others would have to last 15 minutes.
From a creative standpoint, what aspect of Tess, if any, do you feel inspired or fueled you in the One Day endeavor?
The main influence is that the idea for the structure of One Day came from a passage in Tess that I'd read some time ago but that had really stuck in my head. It was just a paragraph that I thought contained a germ for a very interesting structural approach.
Is that the one where she's looking in the mirror and imagining…?
That's right. It's a hard one to talk about too explicitly because I don't want to give away the ending, but it's a thing about realizing that there's a specific day in the calendar that we pass through each year without realizing it. That seemed to me a terrific starting point for a novel.
But that aside, there isn't a great deal of Hardy influence in the novel. I love Thomas Hardy, but he's a lyrical, poetic, and descriptive writer. He doesn't write particularly fluent dialogue. It can be a little stilted and stagey.
The only real cross-fertilization was perhaps how Hardy is very obsessed with notions of fate and predestination, how a chance remark or a letter undelivered, an accident of fate, can alter the course of life. In Tess, it's a dance. At the end of her life, she realizes that if she'd been chosen for a dance with Angel Clare her life would have turned out differently.
That's an idea that finds its way into One Day.
Another interesting parallel is that One Day is also a tale of class.
All British writers have to touch upon class because it's such a prevalent part of our society more than almost anywhere else in the world. How where you come from affects who you are is a common theme you find in British literature. You find it in Tess and Great Expectations. Certainly there's a lot of that in One Day. I'd written before about university and class and education and the relationship between the two in my first novel, Starter For 10. That was a book very much concerned with class and education. There's a bit of that, certainly in the opening, of One Day.
Also, when you're writing a modern love story, you have to find the barriers, you have to find the obstacles. What are the obstacles now as opposed to the 19th-century? Class is again an abiding theme. It's something we're acutely aware of, especially early on in our lives. It just seemed natural for that to be a part of the relationship between Emma and Dexter.
To what extent did you set out to say something about class or do you simply set out to write and then see what it says?
I certainly don't set out with an agenda or a political axe to grind, but inevitably your opinions find their way onto the page and your experiences very much find their way onto the page. I was interviewed the other day and the interviewer said, "You really hate posh people, don't you? You really hate privately educated men, more specifically." Looking back through the books it's certainly true that privilege is shorthand for arrogance and vanity and insensitivity. That's not something that I've ever set out to consciously put on the page because it's not necessarily something I think is true in real life. I don't think all privately educated upper-middle class men are arrogant idiots, but somehow it finds its way onto the page. I don't know why that is.
Well maybe there's just a little bit of truth to it.

Shay just returned from a three-week stay in Paris, France. She brought back photos, video footage and great stories from Paris for the San Franciscan.
Paris can be an obsession. Some Californians, especially Bay Areans, are called back to Paris year after year by a silent calling that draws one back to this unique, beautiful city. There is no more romantic a place on earth than Paris, but what is really interesting is the obvious difference between the California culture and the Parisian culture. When living in Paris, even for a short time, one realizes the lifestyle differences between San Francisco and Paris. Does lifestyle affect our relationships? Of course it must.
I like to take a humorous approach to pointing out our differences. For example, if most San Francisco couples lived in the postage-stamp sized apartments typical in Paris, we'd lose our minds. Typically, middle-class Californians begin their relationship in an apartment, but as the family grows, they move to larger diggs in the suburbs. In Paris, there is no such thing as the "burbs." Parisians, who work in Paris, live in Paris and the choices in abodes are slim. However, a large percentage of apartments are owned by the dwellers; something not so common in San Franciso among the middle-class.
Parisians, don't expect much in the way of apartment or the amenities inside the apartment that Californians would take for granted. They are not conspicuous consumers as we most definitely are. Closets are tiny in their apartments; we are talking really tiny. Why? Because the French don't buy tons of clothing; they prefer quality to quantity.
Then there is the question of the European appliances. They use a machine that washes and dries clothes all in the same machine. Sound like a good idea? Not so much. I've never personally understood this contraption nor have I gotten it to wash and dry my clothes without either frying or not drying the clothing at all. The first video I've posted here will give you a look at this goofy wash/dry machine. Take a look:

07/21/2009, San Joaquin/California Delta
Well I've been telling my parents about how great sailing is for a couple of years and when we were power boating we took them out for a couple of evening runs which they really enjoyed. So when my Mother who will turn 70 next month said that she was going to be spending a week at a genealogy convention in a small town about an hour from where I live I invited her to an evening of sailing.
She told me that she would love to and asked if she could bring a friend, of course I replied the more the merrier. Well the appointed day came last night and my Mom and her friend Caroline showed up about 2 in the afternoon we stayed at the house and visited for a little while then caravaned down to the boat.
I got to the boat a little earlier than my Mom, her friend and my wife Pegirae, the first thing I realized was that it was really blowing and there weren't any other sailboats out.
Well I went about washing the dust and spiderwebs off of the boat, and getting it ready for the trip. One of the first things I did was to get the 80% storm jib out and get it hanked on, I also put the reef in the mainsail. I figured the worst thing that would happen was that we would poke our nose out of the harbor and turn back, then have dinner at the dock. Not quite what I had in mind, but I wanted my mom to have a good time.
While we were visiting I explained to my mom and her friend the physics of a sailboat, how it is normal for them to lean over (a lot sometimes) and how if everything is working correctly the weight of the keel will bring the boat back up every time, I'm sure glad I did that.
We motored out of the harbor into some pretty fierce winds, but with the smaller sails the Catalina took them in stride, she leaned over and took off. I didn't have the sails trimmed for best performance I had them trimmed for decent speed and the comfort of my guests and it seemed to work. we stayed at about 20% lean most of the night and while we had some interesting tacks (4 people in the cockpit while trying to single hand can be interesting) we had a good sail to Fisherman's Cut where we dropped anchor and had a great dinner of warm sourdough bread and pasta salad.
The only hitch of the evening came when I tried to pull the anchor, and ended up pulling up about 70lbs of sea grass, and mud. The anchor was so heavy and the wind was blowing so hard that I had to leave the anchor tied off just above the chain rode, and motor out into the middle of the San Joaquin river to keep from being blown onto the rocky side of the levee.
Well once out in the relatively open river I had to pull the anchor up while trying to balance on the bouncing bow of the boat, I finally got it on board fully engulfed it's green muddiness. I pulled the sea grass off in hunks and was finally able to extricate the anchor, get it into it's locker and shove the rest of the crap into the river. At that point the sun was starting to set, so we headed back to the harbor, the wind at our backs doing 7knots SOG at some points in a beautiful sail. My mother and her friend left very impressed with sailing and hopefully the have a good memory that will stay with them for years. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures from last nights sail.
But after the last couple of sails it was nice to have a sail where most everything went well.
07/11/2009, Sacramento
Does anyone else notice that not very many people are posting? Must be because of the summer weather we are all out sailing instead.
Hey Nate good to see you I was wondering what happened to you, how was the time on the Tall ship?
Great show again this year.
06/02/2009, California Delta
So it looks like I'm finally getting some sailing in!
Last Weekend Memorial Day, we were still pretty much recovering from the scorching weekend before and while Pegirae (my wife) had started out with wanting to spend the entire weekend out on the boat, we ended up just going down Saturday and doing some small projects. I finally rigged the Reefing lines on the Mainsail and put in the Mast Gates that I had purchased at Catalina Direct a couple of weeks ago. Also my friend Bill had given me an old Horse Shoe style throwable PFD and rack that I rigged up to the stern railing. I finally changed out the old rusty Honda 3 gallon gas tank for a new plastic 6 gallon tank and new fuel line and priming bulb. Toward the end of the day Pegi decided that she was ok with going out, she had spent the day keeping me company and reading down in the cabin. So I rigged up the 80% storm jib, put a reef in the main and motored out. The wind was blowing at about 30+ mph and Pegi is still recovering from the head injury I gave her back in April so the Dr's have told her they don't want her sailing because of the way the boat will heel. So I try to keep the boat flat while she is on board. Well the wind was blowing so hard and we picked up about 1000lbs of sea grass with the keel on the way out that when I tried to tack the boat went into Irons then jibed around. I just couldn't keep enough forward momentum to complete a tack. So after several failed attempts I turned and ran with the wind so that I could figure out how to clear the keel in the high winds without being blown aground while I was raising and lowering the keel. While I was trying to get a grip on the situation the boat had several accidental jibes one that about swept me over the side. I decided that it was just to wild to be out there pretty much single handing, so I dropped the sails and motored back into the marina. Praise God the motor seems to be working reliably now and that the P.O. ran all of the lines back to the cockpit.
So Sunday came with no time on the water, just relaxing at home. My friend Mike called and said he was moving his Chris Craft Commander (35' sport fisher) back from Glenn Cove marina down at the Carquinez straights to Sacramento. He asked if I wanted to come and help.
I told him sure but we had plans to meet up with Bill and the other guys in my "Brotherhood" (a church men's group that meets at my house every week) at the sailboats in Isleton at 3pm to spend the afternoon evening sailing. He assured me that the trip would only take about 4 hours (actually took a little over 7). So we met up at 8am, then drove down to the Vallejo. We got the boat out of his slip at 10am at the bottom of low tide, we were actually dragging the boat across the mud bottom on the way out. Once out in the strait's we headed upstream through Suisun bay, and up the Sacramento river, we finally got into Sacramento at around 5pm. The guys had been calling me throughout the day to make sure we were still on for sailing, I finally told them to meet at my house and carpool down and that Mike and I would head down as soon as we got to Sacramento.
Mike on the Bow of the "River Otter"
A shot of the "Robert E Lee" a paddle wheeler that the owner has been trying to restore for the last few years, looks like he sank at the dock. The had pumps going trying to refloat the boat.
We finally made it to Isleton about 6pm, and had the boat out on the water in about 20 minutes a new record.
Bill had 3 other guys out on his Ericson 36 and was headed back to the Marina to meet us when we caught up with him. The wind was blowing around 25mph and Mike and I had the Catalina smoking, however once bill and the guys turned around and got their Jib up, the passed us like we were anchored. We spent the next hour chasing them back down to Fisherman's cut where they had dropped anchor, we rafted up next to them, then while tying lines between the boats one of them caught on my winch handle, pulled it out of the winch and into about 15 feet of water - crap. Oh well the sea grass was too thick and the water to deep to try and swim for it, so I wrote it off and just another sacrifice to the River. We had a great time hanging out, made dinner then split back up and headed back to the marina. Once we found the marina in the dark (no moon) and put everything away, I had to drive Mike back to Vallejo to get his car, I finally got home about 1:30 Tuesday morning.
This Last weekend I didn't even try to get down to the boat, just kind of chilled for the weekend, but I finished up a big project Monday and my job for today canceled so I called my employee John and asked him if he wanted to take the day off and go sailing. He enthusiastically agreed (he had been sailing with us the prior Monday for the first time) and brought his younger brother along. We took off to the boat and got on the water about noon, the winds were sweet, at about 25-30mph. I put up the 110% working jib and the main with no reef. The boat was heeling pretty well, got the rail wet a few times but it was a lot of fun, running at between 5-6 knots.
John leaning over and running his hand in the water, the water line is usually a good 3' below the rail, gives you an idea of how far we were heeling.

John and Alex at the helm with the Antioch Bridge in the background, the winds were starting to kick up over 30mph at this point.

Yours truly at the helm on our way back into the marina.
A great shot of John as we sailed into Owl Harbor after 5 hours of sailing and almost 26 miles logged.
We worked our way down river toward Antioch as we got closer to Antioch the wind and waves got bigger, finally about 3:30 with the bridge in sight we turned around and headed back. The wind was on the beam so we were on a nice broad run the boat was still heeling pretty far, so I got up and put a reef in the main. I really like the way the rigging for this is run, I can pull both ends of the sail down to the boom from the gooseneck at the mast. we were almost pulling 7 knots on the way back, what a ride!
We decided to go down False river instead of heading back up the San Joaquin, then up Fisherman's Cut. We had a great sail day, and I'm totally sun burnt, just to exciting to slow down and put the sun screen on:)
Here are some pic's from the day.
Technical notes:
The outboard is running great, changing the tank out and rebuilding the carburetor seems to have done the trick.
At one point today the boat was heeling so far over that there was water about an inch up the cabin windows!
about that time I noticed water coming from my newly rebuild faucet! Apparently the boat was leaning so far over that the water tank (on the starboard side) was actually above the sink and faucet and was pushing water out the faucet into the sink where I had stored our wallets and other items we wanted to keep dry, thankfully we didn't have our cell phones there.
Only a couple of things ended up on the cabin floor this trip I think I'm finally getting the hang of where to store stuff so that it doesn't fly all over the cabin when sailing in decent winds.
05/20/2009, California Delta
Well after a late start on Saturday we made it down to the boat. Pegirae and I were set to spend a great 17th anniversary on the water. Well we didn't make it down to the boat until late afternoon, and I decided to just motor up to Potato Slough our destination for the weekend. We arrived and found another sailboat there, we anchored nearby and chatted with "charles" for a while before I went below to get dinner ready. It was already hot in the cabin even with the front hatch open and the companion way open. I had finished my propane conversion of the old alcohol stove but could'nt find the gas line for the stove before we left so I ended up using the cheap "wall-mart" camp stove which was a little scary because the grate was not flat and the hot pots kept wanting to slide off any time the boat moved.
After a nice Italian (spaghetti) dinner with a celebratory glass of wine to toast our 17 years together in marital bliss, just the two of us and about a million mosquito's and other flying bugs (they got in before the netting went up) we settled down to our first night at anchor. Even at eleven pm it was still about 80+^ on the boat thank God for the forethought to get insect repellent because I was not sleeping under the covers that night.
About 3am I changed my mind because the boat was finally cooling down to around 30^ below, actually about 60^ but laying in bed with no cover at 3am it felt like 30^ below. We woke with the sun, this has not been a problem before because when we spent weekends on the boat over the winter the sun came up at a respectable hour, and the cloud cover usually enabled us to ignore it and go back to sleep. Not so Sunday morning we were up at six, hit the air pump on the mattress, answer natures call and sneak back to bed for another hour of sleep, by then the cabin was warming up to a nice high 70's temp wise.
I do have to admit this was the earliest we actually got up and got sailing. We had a light breakfast of Honey Do Mellon, I got out the cleaning bucket and cleaned the bow decks, then pulled anchor, pulling up all kinds of mud all over my newly cleaned decks (perfect). After breaking out the bucket, rinsing off the mud, then motoring out of the anchorage (the Honda worked flawlessly this weekend). We headed over to Franks Tract, the winds were very light and I pulled out the asymmetrical spinnaker we got with the boat. I had only used this sail once before and the winds were so light then, it was useless. I've been Leary of using this sail because of the reputation spinnakers have if you are single handing, but the sail worked great, the winds were just light enough that I was able to tack without going forward and "chuting" the sail through the tack, I just tacked, let the sail lightly shift sides, then when everything was clear adjusted the sail, and off we went. We were pulling a steady 3 knots in about 7mph of wind
We sailed around Franks tract for about 1 1/2 hours, I was able to actually use a bungee cord on the tiller and go below for visits (escapes from the sun) for up to 5 minutes without having to go above and adjust course. There were only power boaters out and we had the open areas of the tract to ourselves.
To make a long story less long, oh yeah too late. We got off of the tract and I pulled the chute down over the spinnaker leaving the main up, but pretty much just motored down false river, and up fishermen s cut, then accross the San Joaquin, dropped anchor and went swimming because it was so freaking hot, over 100^,
after finding out how badly the boarding ladder and railing were designed we headed back to Owl Harbor and home. When I was loading the boat up at the end of the day I looked at the digital thermometer and it read 111^ in the cabin, I would have taken a picture but I was too busy sweating and trying not to pass out.
Here's a Google earth track of our weekend sail,
the kicker was that on Monday my friend bill went sailing with a couple of other guys and the temps were in the mid 80^ and winds over 30mph, wtf???? Oh well here's hoping for a better sail this weekend with memorial day and all.
Well I know I haven't been posting much lately, I did get out sailing a couple of times since April, but not much. The winds have picked up for the most part, this weekend however they are supposed to be light and it is supposed to be HOT! over 100^. This is Pegirae and my 17th anniversary so we are going to do our first weekend on the boat anchoring out. Wish us luck and I promise to update when I get back.
Curiosity has gotten the better of me, looking at your pic... With the sails down, and in the lee of the docks, I am trying to ficure out the rather extreme list on your Cat there...
We tied an extra line to the mainsheet halyard and pulled the boat over to about 30^ from the other dock, if you look in the top right corner of the picture you can see the line. Then I took my pressure washer and sprayed most of the gunk off of the bottom of the boat. Saved $300.00
04/12/2009, San Joaquin River
Well after heading down to the boat early on Saturday and spending the day cleaning it up. I pulled the old brown carpet out to shake it out, then decided that the white fiberglass floors look so much better, so I took it up to my car to save as a future template if I want a different type of carpet.
I got the boat cleaned up but my wife decided that she was going to drive her own car down and meet me right before my client and her boyfriend were due to arrive, as it happens she ran out of gas and arrived about 45 minutes after my client Kimberly and her boyfriend Vince.
Now let me make myself clear, I become friends with some of my clients/customers it is one of the things I love about my job and I became fast friends with Kimberly, she is just that type of person, very open, friendly, funny, etc. So when I bought the Catalina and was telling her about it she asked if I had considered renting it to make up for the loss of income from the slow down in home remodels. I pretty much said that I would never rent the sailboat, and the list of people that I would loan her too was very very very short. Then I asked her why and she told me about how she wanted to surprise her boyfriend on his 40th with some kind of cruise. I told her I would be happy to take her and her boyfriend out for a dinner cruise.
That was two months ago, she has been so excited about the evening that she was willing to go out if it was raining (the weather report was iffy).
But as it turned out yesterday was beautiful and even though the winds were light, it was going to be a nice sail day.
Kimberly and Vince showed up at 4, they brought the food and drink and we spent the next hour just kind of hanging out at the dock. I hanked the jib on at the dock so I didn't have to worry about it on the river, warmed the outboard up (still finicky) then after my wife showed up we cast off and motored out of the marina. I raised the sails going out of the harbor as the wind was on the beam and kind of motor sailed out. Just at the entrance to the harbor the wind picked up and the boat started healing lifting the outboard out of the water, so I shut it off. As soon as the outboard shut off the wind died a little and I think we were dragging half of the underwater weeds in the harbor off of my keel and rudder. the wind started to push us into the marsh at the entrance to the harbor and of course the outboard did not want to start.
I asked my wife to grab the tiller while I messed with the outboard, then turned facing aft grabbing the starter rope and giving it a hard fast pull. I felt my hand hit something hard and turned around to see my wife kneeling in the cockpit holding her head. Rather than move to the other side of the cockpit, she leaned over and without thinking of what was behind me I nailed her good. She was seeing double and had a horrible headache but did not want to go back in, and actually soldiered through the night, without showing how much pain she was in.
Here is a picture of our route. The first push pin is where we ran aground and I hit my wife, the second is where we dropped anchor, had dinner and watched the sunset.
Once we got the outboard running, and out of the mud, we motored/sailed over to the floating channel marker that the local sea lions call home and let Kimberly and Vince say hello and get some pictures.
Then we headed down wind and up river with the returning tide, considering we were still hauling a small forest on the keel I think we made decent time, the temp was dropping fast though, so I put the pop up camper canvas on, and actually dug out the propane tent space heater I keep on board and Pegi (my wife) Kimberly & Vince went below while I manned the tiller. We arrived at potato slough dropped anchor and had some awesome chicken wraps that Kimberly had prepared, hung out, talked and enjoyed each other company. Then watched the sunset, hung out some more, then I hauled the anchor and motored back home.
Of course the moon did come out last night, just not until about 10:30, and it was dark, luckily I brought the GPS and the channel is well marked. The new lights worked great though, and I really really love the new deck light. It made hauling anchor and putting the boat away a lot easier.
Here are some pic's from the sail.
Pegi and Kimberly coming down to the boat.
Kimberly at the tiller.
Kimberly and Vince at sunset.
Sunset at potato slough.
Mount Diablo in the distance.
Pegi and I in the Cabin.
Kimberly and Vince in the cabin.
Well hopefully this is the start of a great season, the outboard still needs some fine tuning and now a new spark plug and wire since I had to take the motor cover off on the way back (to tap the carb and get it to start) when I was backing into the slip the dock caught the outboard and broke then end off of one of the spark plugs and wire ends, not a big deal I need to change the plugs anyway, and I got the new timing belt so I will probably do that repair at the same time.
Well until next time.

How Much Does a Mink Coat Cost?
A mink coat is a coat that is made from the hide of a mink animal, which is a member of the weasel family. While there is a great controversy surrounding mink coats because of animal rights, those that wear one love it for its warm feel and luxurious look. While a mink coat may represent some sort of wealth, the price for one has greatly gone down over the past few years. The cost of a mink coat is going to greatly vary depending on the quality of the coat, the brand, the size and the merchant selling it.
How much is it?
- Some of the main factors that can influence the price tag of a mink coat can include the size of the coat, the quality, the manufacturer, and the colors.
- On average, a mink coat can vary from $100 to as much as $10,000 for an authentic coat that is made by a major designer. Lower-end mink coats often tend to have a "mink look" but are not made from an actual mink hide.
- Like clothing, designer labels can have a large influence on the price. For a higher-quality brand that is quite popular, it is not uncommon to see a mink coat fetch price tags that reach $20,000 or more.
- Dyed mink coats tend to be considered a lower quality coat, while a higher quality coat will not have the dye.
- On websites such as eBay, there thousands of listings that have mink coats available for purchase. While a majority of them are used, the average price tends to be within the $500 to $4,000 price range.
What are the extra costs?
- For higher-end coats that cost more than $5,000, the seller may often offer an appraisal to give you a true value of what the coat is currently worth.
- Since mink coats need to be handled with proper care, a mink coat will require special dry cleaning.
What is going to be included?
- A quality mink coat will have a pelt label on the interior of the coat. This label is going to ensure you that the coat has met certain standards. Look for pelt labels assigned by organizations such as the North American Fur Association, the American Legend Mink Cooperative, or the Saga Furs of Scandinavia.
Tips to know:
- A female mink is often going to have fur that is softer and lighter than a male mink.
- The average mink coat skin can last more than 20 years, making it one of the most durable skins on the market.
- Try to find out how much leather was included with the coat. Mink coats that have a lot of leather can often have less fur as well. It is also best to find out where the coat was made. Lower quality coats are made in countries such as China and are not comparable to the quality of mink coats made in countries such as the United States.
How can I save money?
- If you want to ensure that you are purchasing a legitimate fur coat, make sure that you meet with a furrier. These furriers are going to be able to match you with a quality coat that is made from higher-end, real fur.
- Since the real fur is going to be the most expensive, consider going with an artificial fur. From a distance, the coat will look the same; the cost, however, can be up to 80 percent less.
Average Reported Cost: $0
Less Expensive $1 $1.5K $3K $5K $6.5K More Expensive $8k

Slim WinsletKate Winslet has dropped three dress sizes - because she was sick of thin actresses scooping all the top movie roles.
The star - who once vowed to keep her curves - has reportedly cut all wheat and dairy products from her diet in a bid to lose the pounds.
A source revealed: "Kate's family were pretty alarmed last time they visited her in the States - she knew the calorie content of everything.
"She's finding it frustrating that slimmer, often less talented girls are getting the big roles."
The source also hinted the 'Titanic' beauty feels pressure to look good for her husband, director Sam Mendes, who has dated a string of beautiful women including Calista Flockhart and Rachel Weisz.
The insider revealed: "Rachel is doing really well at the moment. In August, Sam and Kate saw her on David Letterman's TV show and Sam mentioned how good Rachel looked. It was just a throwaway comment, but any woman whose husband talks about their ex in glowing terms must feel some insecurity."
The source added to Britain's Grazia magazine: "Sam has always found Kate's normality a breath of fresh air. But in show business, success isn't measured by normality. And Sam is ambitious for both himself and Kate. She is absolutely obsessed with Sam and determined to make their marriage work."

So I am expecting a 2 weeks wait between 1.9 being released and us updating Sanctuary, then starting Frontier in the same week. Wait for Bukkit and mods has been worse in past versions. Hopefully it won't be a bad one this time.

hmmm, so see waiting say 3 weeks (given the 1.9 is meant to be out in a week* and then we may find we are in the same boat as we are now....
I say wait and for everyone just to man up

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. Just wondering - are the 1.8 maps currently looking comptiable with 1.9?
If IIRC, the original world4 map was generated in 1.8. Then, it was upgraded to 1.9, keeping the same map (this was when world4 was first started), and I never heard if there were any map issues where the borders met. Does this mean that there aren't any? And if so, is it possible to add, say, another 200 blocks onto each side of the Sanctuary world in the meantime, if it's going to be a long delay for 1.9?
If the maps aren't compatiable, please disregard this, as it would just create larger borders for us to have to "fix" later on. Although, with the endless-ocean bug, it sounds like the entire seed engine's going to have to be reworked anyway. ><
|18th October 2011, 01:47 PM

Various of the recent fixes by Mojang have had to do with strongholds. Some people have reported the portal room of a stronghold being cut in two by a ravine, thus preventing a portal to the End being created. Since I imagine that a lot of the fixes may relate to things like that, if we expand immediately, we may miss out on these fixes and just get the bugs. Consequently, if we were to expand the border, it may have to be a temporary fix.
Note that at the moment, the generated world for Sanctuary is a lot bigger than the map you see. If we just extended the border, we wouldn't need to generate any new land as we still have enough 1.8.1 land from the early explorers who went too far. However, in the future we may need to prune the land back to the present border and regenerate it. But that decision need not be made until we actually decide to permanently expand.
That is a rushed answer. Excuse me if it is confusing.

1.93 resulted in huge oceans I mean 5000+ block oceans that resulted in much unused space, generally the biome's worked well but it was not ideal with the ocean issues.
As for hte upgrade? when 1.9.4 came out the whole world was reset to make use of the new items.

I f you've ever installed your own deck or hired someone to build an addition on your house, you know construction projects never go smoothly.Imagine being Scott Paul.He's the man in charge of Bank of America Stadium's three-year, $125 million renovation project. And according to the Panthers' director of stadium operations, the first phase is 95-percent complete."It's gone as good as it could," Paul said after updating the media Wednesday. "Of course, there's going to be hiccups, and there were."But Paul added that phase one is within its $65 million budget, and it's on schedule.The update came exactly one month until the stadium reopens to the public. Because of the construction, and an international soccer match scheduled for August 2, the Panthers have had to do some schedule shifting.The annual Fan Fest will be July 25, before the team heads to training camp in Spartanburg the next day. Players won't practice, but they will be in attendance.(7/17/14 UPDATE – The team has decided to hold a two-hour practice)"We felt it was important that we open up the building to Panthers fans first, before the soccer match," Paul said.Among the improvements fans will see are two new HD video scoreboards. Stretching 63-feet high, and 212-feet long, they're 2 1/2 times bigger than the boards they replaced.The ribbon boards encircling the middle of the stadium have also been switched out with bigger boards and better technology.There are also four new escalators, and the improved sound system is nearly ready to go full blast."The goal of this project was to improve the fan experience. We want them to feel like most everything they can get at home, they can get at the stadium," Paul said. "By enlarging the video screens, improving the sound system, giving them more engagement opportunities on our video boards and ribbon boards, and giving the folks that have upper level seating an opportunity to get up there easier; all those factors we hope improve the fan experience."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers and other officials fighting over gun control invited the husband of a woman who was killed in the Connecticut school shooting to attend President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night.
But Bill Sherlach declined.
He says he'd rather work within a group to see the gun issue addressed as part of a comprehensive effort to reduce violence, than become the nationally televised face of tragedy. He also doesn't want to be part of the heated rift over gun control that politics and dueling news conferences seem to inflame.
Victims of tragedy long have played major roles in the nation's most dramatic public policy debates, and there are few more bitter or expensive ones than this year's legislative battle over gun control.

Rajon Rondo admitted what many of his detractors have said for a long time. "I'm a sore loser," the Boston Celtics guard said at Thursday's practice. "It's tough to lose." With that in mind, Rondo hopes to see an end to the Celtics' four-game losing streak on Friday when they host the surging Indiana Pacers. Boston has fallen by an average of 19.8 points per game during its skid.
Former Celtics swingman Tony Allen scored a season-high 15 points as Memphis handed Boston its eighth loss in 10 outings with a 93-83 decision on Wednesday. Indiana is headed in the opposite direction, winning nine of 11 to climb atop the Central Division. Paul George led the way in the Pacers' last victory, collecting 29 points and 14 rebounds as Frank Vogel's charges posted an 89-81 triumph over Washington on Wednesday.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, CSNE
ABOUT THE PACERS (19-13): D.J. Augustin is settling into the starting role in the wake of an injury to George Hill (strained right groin). Augustin scored 10 of his season-high 18 points in the fourth quarter - and improved to 14-for-16 from the line in the last two games. David West, on the other hand, is just 6-for-19 during that stretch.
ABOUT THE CELTICS (14-17): Despite its losing skid, Boston can wrap its arms around one positive as Avery Bradley turned in a fine effort in his season debut on Wednesday. "Avery was terrific on the ball," coach Doc Rivers said of Bradley's defense. "Avery's going to help us; you could see that. And that'll be immediate for us." Bradley was sidelined seven months following a pair of shoulder surgeries.
1. Despite leading their division, the Pacers are averaging just 91.8 points per game - which is third-worst in the NBA.
2. The teams split four meetings last season - with Boston winning the last two.
3. Indiana swingman Sam Young has been ruled out indefinitely with a left ankle sprain.
Who will win this game?
Jan 04 2013 Indiana 75 @ Boston 94
Mar 06 2013 Boston 83 @ Indiana 81

Eugene food cart owners want outdoor seating
- Written by OBM Team
- Published in High Five
- 0 comments
Eugene city officials removed outdoor tables and chairs from the downtown area last year, but new food carts want them back.
As new food carts open up at the Broadway Plaza in an attempt to revitalize the struggling district, the issue with outdoor seating has come up again. Opinions are mixed among the small business owners who run the carts.
The question is: Should there be tables and chairs for the food cart customers and, if so, who should provide them?
Some cart owners say the city — which wants to revitalize the downtown — should help by providing the tables and chairs.
Other cart owners oppose that idea, saying that if the city provides the furniture, the vendors can't limit who would sit there. That could open the door to loiterers and other non-customers taking over the seating — something the Eugene Police Department opposes.
Read the full story at The Register Guard.

Iplay shorts
These shorts would be a five star if the fit wasn't a bit too small! I ordered a large (18 month) for my 10 month old, thinking he would grow into them but they just fit him! At 14 months he has definitely outgrown them. I am going to order another pair in a larger size because I do love them! He is in the 50th percentile, so apparently very average in size:)
Fit: Feels too small
Too small
I have to exchange these. I ordered size medium (12 mos) for my almost 6 month old son. He's a little chubby but not huge. These looked way too small. However the quality seemed good. I really hope we can get a bigger size and I anticipate that this will be a good product!

Ghost Hunters: Spirits Of Children
October 28, 2009 09:16 PM by Ryan Haidet
Halloween is just days away, and the team from Ghost Hunters took their search for spirits to Briarhurst Manor in Manitou Springs, Colorado. When they arrived at the beautiful location, their tour guide told them stories where guests had spotted a skeletal-like woman, the sounds of phantom voices and a vase that flew across the room. Guests have also seen a young girl playing around the grounds in addition to full-bodied apparitions and shadow people. What would their investigation reveal?
Lights Out
Jason and Grant kicked off the investigation by asking the spirits questions. Almost immediately, Jason thought he was hearing the sounds of a creaking board above him, which motivated them to investigate the attic where kids used to play when it was rainy. They believed a creaking board upstairs was definitely the same sound they heard when down below. Shortly after that, they challenged the ghosts to run in the attic above them. They suddenly heard what they believed to be similar to the sounds of somebody running around.
Amy and Kris went into the attic to investigate the strange sounds that Jason and Grant had been hearing. They took a seat and did an EVP session to try and elicit some of the ghostly voices of some of the children. "If you're here can you touch one of us?" they asked. But nothing happened, so they called it quits in the attic and moved on to something else in the investigation.
Red Wall
Jason and Grant continued their investigative work by heading upstairs to check a bathroom. Before they opened the door, there was the sound of a young girl's voice. It really didn't seem to phase them much, which took me by surprise. So instead of further investigating the noise, they decided to simply enter the bathroom where they solved the issue of red coloring that was seeping out of wallpaper downstairs — a red cleaning agent in the bathroom above had been dripping down causing the issue.
As they kept on doing their investigation, Jason and Grant continued to hear the voice of a female with no obvious sign of origin. So they tried to track down the source of the sounds. With flashlights in hand, Jason and Grant went to an office filled with computers, but they didn't hear the voice again.
Analysis & Reveal
After they wrapped up the investigation, Steve and Tango analyzed all of the evidence. Every time I see the evidence analysis, I can't help but think the same thing — that must be extremely boring. Just saying.
In the traditional reveal of evidence, Jason and Grant showcased some of the haunting moments they experienced during their investigation. Not only did they capture the voice of a female, but there was an EVP of a man who sounded like he was humming.
Certainly some creepy stuff captured, but nothing incredible. With Halloween later this week, I wish they would've really gave us a scary episode.
Oh well. Better luck next week.

Former Herd Sires
| WILLIS 10H WC 0601 ET (EPDs) is an embryo bull we raised. He developed into an
impressive, pigmented sire sure to sire desirable females. We used him as a
yearling. Sold to Walker Herefords, LaGrange, Texas.
| Feltons 666 (EPDs) was a trait leader in three of the four ecomomic indexes
measured by the AHA. A super low birth weight bull. An injury cut his
service here short, but we were fortunate to have kept some outstanding
daughters. These daughters have developed into small efficient calf producers. He was a thick made, aggressive breeder, the kind you like.
|WILLIS 51M 494 (EPDs) is a 51M son we raised. He exhibited extreme muscle and thickness. We have several cows by him that we are very pleased with. We no longer own him but the influence of 494 and his mother will influence our herd for years to come.
|BJH 51M LEADER 71U (EPDs) is a bull purchased in the Blue Jacket dispersal. We have never assisted a 71U calf at birth. He is the best calving ease bull we have ever used. Witherspoon Nizhoni Herefords from Washington state raised several 71U calves from cows purchased in the BJH dispersal that performed with the best in his herd. We use him in a linebreeding program with 51M daughters. We are looking forward to these heifers coming into production.
|BJH 25K PROSPECTR 51M (EPDs) has become the foundation sire of our herd. Purchased from Blue Jacket Herefords in Eudora, Kansas as a yearling, 51M has influenced our herd more than any sire. Many of our cows are daughters and granddaughters. We have tried some limited line breeding crossing 51m daughters with our top 51M sons with outstanding results. He has been used by some of the top herds in the nation, Gerber, Knoll Crest to name a few.
|BJH 80L DYNAMO 48P (EPDs) is another Blue Jacket sire that has produced some outstanding females for us. Positive traits include light birth weights, fast growing calves, cows that milk and plenty of eye pigment
To see the complete pedigree and current EPD's go to www.hereford.org and click on "Pedigree and EPD Search"

Mexico says truck driver had marijuana as cargo
TIJUANA A tractor-trailer driver hauling onions between Mazatlan and Tijuana was also carrying a hidden cargo of nearly 23,000 pounds of marijuana, the Mexican military announced yesterday.
The drugs were seized on the highway between Mexicali and Tijuana at the checkpoint known as El Centinela. The driver was taken into custody and turned over to law enforcement authorities, according a military communiqué. It did not say when the arrest occurred.

The Script EP
Released By: Epic Records
release description
There is a whole lifetime in these songs," says guitarist Mark Sheehan. "We don't write them in ten minutes. A song takes nurturing, it is an evolving thing. This is a journey, we are in constant change, constant motion. I can't ever put my finger on what exactly The Script is, I don't even think I should, all I know is that it is something that touches me deep inside, and seems to touch other people when we play."
The EP features the trio's second single 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved' and the hit 'We Cry', which was a top ten airplay single.
