Death of an Email Address
A long time ago, in another lifetime, I worked in the rapid prototyping industry. Where many science fiction fans only dreamed of the day they could walk up to a computer and say, "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot," I could do it for real. Only, it took hours to generate the tea cup, and the moment any hot water hit it, it would melt from the heat. But the process worked.
I was proud of the work I did. For a while I was one of the few people in the world who could take someone's engineering drawings, create a 3-D model in a computer and have it generated into an object hours later. The downturn in the economy that got me into the field also left many engineers out of work who turned to doing the same kind of work. I have to admit, I was somewhat outclassed out of work. My last claim to fame was I had a knack for creating stable models that could be tessellated for stereo lithography work where others could not.
I created one of the first commercial web sites on the new [then] World Wide Web. With it, I created my first personal email address. It was mine! Not something that was handed out or assigned.
While involved in this field, I was a participant on the Rapid Prototyping Mailing List (RPML). The mailing list was highly active and ideas and networks spread far and wide.
Stupidly, people didn't heed the warning about protecting their computers with anti-virus software. The RPML gained the ignominy of being at the top of the list for the spread of junk email and email-spawned worms and viruses. Junk emailers (aka "spammers") discovered the list and began using it to pump junk email far and wide.
The junk took over and the RPML succumbed to it like the victim of a virulent cancer.
More important to the junk emailers wasn't so much the delivery of garbage, but the harvesting of active email addresses. Did you ever get one of those emails forwarded from a friend saying, 'Oh my God! Pass this on to ten people and you'll get a winning lottery ticket!'? At the head of this email being forwarded were hundreds—if not thousands—of email addresses. Obviously your friend didn't send it. Ever wonder who creates these things?
The people who create these emails are the very same vermin who run junk email businesses. They use them to harvest email addresses. They know thousands of well-meaning people will forward a heart-rending email about helping "Ailing Annie" collect a thousand stuffed animals before she dies from [insert horrible disease here] to many of their friends. As time goes by, the email will eventually make the rounds and get sent to the malfeasant who created it, and he now has thousands of email addresses collected to which he can send more important emails about deals on V•1•a•G•r•4 and potentially lucrative monetary transactions from Nigeria.
Once your email is on one of these lists, it will never, ever, escape. Even if one junk emailer is murdered by one of his colleagues, the list will pass to someone else and through that individual to others. Ad infinitum.
Still, I held onto the email address and I've continued to use it for years. Almost 18 years, in fact.
It was always getting flooded with junk email on a daily basis. The record, set back in 2000, was 7823 junk emails in one day. That whole week was nuts.
There was always an ebb and flow to junk email. It would reach annoying peaks and then back off for a while. Like the smell from a leaking sewage pipe, it just never went away. In recent years, I began to debate whether or not it was worth keeping that address active.
Last year, I received an email threatening that they would put my email on the junk email lists unless I paid them a sum of money. Written in very bad English, might I add. I actually laughed out loud. The stupid dip shits should have considered the fact that the email address in question was already on all the junk email lists. I ignored it. Nothing ever came of it.
Recently, an uptick in junk email got me thinking about retiring the address again. I admit, it was a fairly clever campaign. The flow started with just a few emails here and there, and slowly increased over time. It reached a point where I realized I was receiving an average of 30 junk emails an hour. The junk email filters were handling the vast majority of it, but there were enough getting through that it was starting to be annoying.
I came to the conclusion that it was time to retire that address. I unplugged the accounts from the email server.
For the first time in nearly 18 years, my email has been quiet for an entire evening.

State of the Franchise: Bengals a sneaky sleeper in 2019?
This is the article from the Athletic. So you don't have to get their app to read it. Good read. CINCINNATI – The question asked by nearly everyone even remotely interested in Bengals football this offseason stems back to an original root question: How will Zac Taylor make the Bengals different? Answering the question ranges from difficult to impossible. He's yet to go through a training camp, much less a game as an NFL head coach. Nobody really knows what he will be like or how this team will perform under his direction. As for where he's taken this team and its players, only seven people can provide the most accurate view of the dynamics at play within the Bengals right now. They call themselves The Mobile 7. They are the seven holdover coaches from the last staff: quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt, quarterbacks/wide receivers assistant Dan Pitcher, special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons, special-teams assistant Brayden Coombs, secondary coach-safeties Robert Livingston, secondary coach-corners Daronte Jones and wide receivers coach Bob Bicknell. Those seven represented the Bengals at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, in January while the organization was in limbo awaiting Taylor's arrival and the establishment of the rest of his staff. They all still had one year on their contracts and nobody knew exactly what was coming next — only that they would be here for it. They stood with their feet squarely on the ground as the Bengals organization underwent arguably the most dramatic transformation in club history, a process that swept through like a tornado. The Mobile 7 were then joined by 16 others, led by Taylor, and began the rebuilding process together. I talked to each about how the process played out and what they've witnessed from the moment Marvin Lewis was let go through the final practice of minicamp Thursday. The conversations filtered into five main buckets: Effect of the unique fallout, Taylor's traits and impact, a focus on situational football, tangible impact on players and an interesting view of the future. This is an oral history of six months of dramatic change from those at ground zero. The Mobile 7 formed on the trip to the Senior Bowl the week of Jan. 21. Taylor was hired Feb. 4. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo was hired on Feb. 21. The entire staff didn't meet together for the first time until the NFL Scouting Combine a week later. That's a lot of moving parts. Coaches hanging in limbo happens across the NFL every January. So, as distinctive as the Bengals' situation was this year, it was also an understood — if dreaded — part of the gig. Van Pelt pointed out that his high school-age daughter wrote a paper about how challenging January can be on coaches and their families. They get it. Van Pelt: It's never a comfortable situation when you aren't quite sure what is going to happen. There's about a four-week period of hell for coaches and coaches' families where you are not quite sure what is going on. That was typical. Lot of emotions and just uncertainty. Pitcher: We joke about it. It felt like we were in limbo for a really long time. Fortunately, I'm grateful I had a chance to stay. I know the guys that are here feel the same way. It was an uneasy period of time, and it's hard when you develop close relationships with guys you respect a lot. Assistant special-teams coordinator Brayden Coombs. (Isaiah J. Downing / USA Today) Coombs: That's hard because those guys are friends and a lot of them are good coaches. It's part of this business and happens every year with my friends across the league, but it had never happened here for us. So it was the first time going through that. It wasn't, "You still have a job." It was, "You are still here until the new coach gets here." It's nice to be kept, but a lot of us were getting interviews from other teams. I know of at least three guys that had slips in for them. That part was frustrating. We don't even have a boss right now and you are not promising me a job, but stopping me from going to this job. That's part of the business. We signed a contract. You want that contract. But guys were frustrated. It's hard. It was my first time going through that. Jones (laughing): There's only two types of coaches in this world, right? Eventually, you are going to be in that position. In Mobile, Jon Gruden was coaching the East team, and during a press conference, he mentioned his quarterbacks coach was joining the Bengals as an offensive coordinator. It was the first staff leak as the Mobile 7 still hadn't officially been told Taylor was the head coach. Coombs: Mike (Brown) did everything by the book. He would not tell us so we didn't know. … We had seen (the leaks) and kind of knew, but that's when we were like, this is where it's going. When we were all down in Mobile. Livingston: That trip was a weird trip, and the next few weeks were weird with (preparing for) the draft and free agency. … Granted, once everything got set, there were some long days and you felt like you were behind a little bit. But I think everybody did a great job of knowing this is what is going to have to be done. Was it normal? No. Was it something I will probably always remember? Yeah. One theme remained consistent as the seven assessed what unfolded during the offseason program that concluded Thursday. A clear emphasis on situational football emerged. Taylor stressed the need to plant the seed for any type of situation that could present itself during the season. The NFL has never been more situational than it is today, and that's a key component of the coach's offseason strategy. This goes from a simple situational time-and-score to odd special-teams scenarios to how to throw the ball away to waste the final five seconds of game clock. Specifically, Taylor added responsibility for Pitcher to be in charge of teaching and working through situations in the offseason and during the year. His specific role on game day hasn't been nailed down yet, but all signs point to focusing on situation management in the booth. Pitcher: It's something I was excited about when Zac asked me. It's been a good opportunity for me to study some different things and make sure I know this is an area we need to be prepared for and be able to relay that to the team and have a platform to do that has been pretty cool. Livingston: Those guys are really thorough in how they think about it. They have done a great job in the meeting, showing things. This is 2019, people got to see it. Here is a play from 2015, Raiders versus Chiefs, this is what we are talking about when you do get in that situation. In 2015, the Toro Toro field goal we had at the end of the Seattle game. Coombs: Do it now, so we have done it and it's on tape. He'll be able to refer back all of August saying, "We are going to do this and here's when we did it before." Now once they have done it and seen it on tape, next time it should be that much sharper. Refer back to the tape. Boom. Clicks. You can't do that stuff in Week 1. Taylor speaks often about communicators and organization, offering buzzwords not often uttered around Paul Brown Stadium in the past. The average age of the staff dropped 10 years per person. That alone made this a new generation at the helm and that meant new ways to get the point across and expectations of ways to keep everyone in the loop. Coombs: We are way more advanced, technology-wise. We communicate like 30-year-olds communicate. Still, a positive tone and coaching style stand out above the rest. Van Pelt: I like the way Zac has really slowed down the teaching process. If there is a mistake made, it's not the end of the world. It's "Let's coach through it and make sure everyone is on the same page." That's really been the thing that has stood out to me is the way he's really in the teaching progression. He takes time, goes slow, not in a hurry. We are all going to get it at the same pace. Alex Van Pelt joined the Bengals' staff in January 2018. (Bryan Woolston / AP) Livingston: The schedule is completely different. We are on the field later. It's completely streamlined. We all went out there for that first practice and were like, "Whoa." It was eye-opening. Coombs: "To me, the entire football operation, everything we are doing now, whether it's on the field, meetings, practice, schedule, meals, everything we are doing is very intelligent. Everything is very planned out, prepared and there is logical reasoning. This is the specific reason why we are doing this. It's easy for me. That's how I'm wired. I don't just do something because this is how we have always done it or this is the way we are doing it. Then he goes next level and in the meeting explains it to the players. This is what we are doing. This is why. For them, that makes things so easy. You eliminate them saying, "This is stupid, why are we doing this?" Bicknell: I would never compare. I just know Zac has a really clear understanding of what he wants to do and an unbelievable way of teaching it. Our players really were responding to his overall thought process. He's a special coach. Simmons: There's a very clear and concise vision about what the expectations are. Not that there wasn't before, but I think sometimes it becomes difficult when you are in the 15th or 16th year of something there is enough carryover from year to year you don't want to bore the guys who have been here, but when you are talking about vision you are only talking to a select few people. It's difficult to do when you have heard the same message. It's all new. So it's all fresh. So there is a heightened sense of awareness for all those things. All this minutia goes back to making impressions on the players. Their responses to the changes have been expectedly enthusiastic. There's been noticeable new energy that you would expect, and a complete remodel of the entrance to the locker room made the feel of the place different from the moment they walked in the building. Meanwhile, competition at practice and in meetings brought about the Mobile 7 unanimously mentioning the energy in the building. In their minds, there are multiple reasons for it. Some obvious, others not so much. Livingston: I walked out of the cafeteria two weeks ago and it's like, whoa, four new TV screens here. Where the players walk in, it catches their attention. It's not bland. Zac and the Browns have done a great job of putting money into right here. Simmons: You don't always know what's coming next. Sometimes that's OK. That's a good thing. It's invigorating that way. I think the players have done that also. Because they don't always know what's coming next, either. It's like starting over, square one. A lot of history they developed with the old coaching staff, the skins on the wall with the old coaches, they don't have those anymore. So it's out now and they are trying to prove themselves once again. Whether it's Carlos Dunlap or A.J. Green or Dre Kirkpatrick or whoever it may be. Or a college free agent. They are all trying to come out and work their tail off to impress a new set of eyes. This will be Darrin Simmons' 17th season with the Bengals. (Kareem Elgazzar / USA Today) Jones: The holdover coaches are much in the same position as the veteran players. It's new and it's unknown and then once you get comfortable and get a feel for what is established, here we are all on board. Technically, none of (the veteran corners) went through a coaching change in college, either. Alabama (Dre Kirkpatrick) with Saban. Michigan State, (Darqueze Dennard). Those guys didn't really go through a coaching change. So, for a lot of those guys, even though you are an eight-year vet, it's your first experience from college and the pros in terms of a coaching change. So it's all new to them. Coombs: High energy. The relaxing on some things that were uptight about before that aren't necessarily important but just old-school mentalities of things like tuck your shirt in. Taking that stuff off their plate. Now, what you do get from him is laser-focused on football. That's what you want. Simmons: He's been super positive with the players. It's been very clear the expectations of exactly what's expected and what's not expected. That was the same thing when Marvin first came here, too. That's what sparked this place when Marvin came. I would expect the same thing is going to happen right now. It's clear, it's concise, and he's very positive. That's something that's new, refreshing and would stimulate anybody to go out and perform their best. It does the same for me. Nobody knows how this will turn out. We can break down the new and the old ways of preparing a team for the season, but if Taylor and this staff can't find a way to win games, nobody will care. And understandably so. These coaches feel optimistic about the direction of this team. The opinion was unanimous and is likely universal across the league in June. There's a new sense of excitement over the future circulating, but all were clear to pay due respect to Marvin Lewis. Different is new. Different brings a certain set of issues to deal with, positive and negative. Still, the unknown carries a definitive feeling of possibility while the coaches figure this thing out on the fly. Simmons: You need to learn what his mindset is. What he's thinking, how he sees things going forward. What is his anticipation of how he wants it to be. It puts a lot of thought through my head because when you have done it the same way for 16 years it's cool to see a different way, a new way. Bicknell: There are talented people that are coaching here and the leadership is a very, very positive, energetic environment here right now. So it's a lot of fun to be around. It's year to year, you have to stay healthy and all those things have to happen. The talent we have on this team, we stay healthy and do the right things we will have a chance. Bob Bicknell scurries out of the way of wide receiver Josh Malone during training camp in 2018. (Kareem Elgazzar / USA Today) Livingston: I will love Marvin for the rest of my life. Paul Guenther, all those guys. They gave me a chance and the Browns have been unbelievably loyal to me. Duke Tobin. They gave me a chance to do what I want to do. Talk about being invested, this is all I have known. You go back to the highs here have been euphoric. I will never forget 2015 when we were rolling. The lows, obviously, were really, really dark. But it keeps you where you can still see the sun. I know what it's supposed to look like. I have been there when it's been really good. I know what it would be to get back. Mr. Brown deserves this more than anything and the city. You think back to that playoff game in 2015 and I know it's like a cuss word now, you aren't allowed to say it. But this place was rocking. I've never heard anything in this place like that playoff game. That's our challenge, to get back to that and get everybody in and pulling the same direction. This can be a special place. This can be a special building. Obviously, special ownership. Now it's our job to do that for them.

I hope the guy has a great season and helps us win at least a playoff game. But, I've seen this movie before. I just hope he stays healthy and retires while he can still walk under his own power.
Of all the things Bengals fans should complain about, this isn't it.

When examining where Pennsylvania's 21,000 registered sex offenders live and work, one central Pennsylvania county leads the state, according to a USA Today Network analysis.
Data gathered Monday from the Pennsylvania State Police's Megan's Law website and the U.S. Census shows that registered sex offenders live and work in Dauphin County at approximately twice state average rate.
Among possible contributing factors to Dauphin County's high rank: Opportunities for employment in the capitol region, aggressive prosecution of sex offenders in the county and robust victim services that may lead more victims to come forward, said Jennifer Storm, Pennsylvania's victim advocate.
Storm spoke positively of law enforcement and victim's services in the county.
More: Number of registered sex offenders on the rise in Pa. (But that's not the bad news.)
Other Pa. news: 7 Lancaster Co. puppy businesses are 'horrible,' says Humane Society
The U.S. Department of Justice estimates less than a third of sexual assaults are reported, so a higher concentration of sex offenders in an area could signal better reporting and enforcement.
Storm acknowledged there may be other factors at play.
While Pennsylvania State Police Communications Director Ryan Tarkowski did not have information on a possible cause for the high rate, he encouraged the use of the Megan's Law tool and victim resources.
"By knowing the offenders who are in the area where you live and work, it can allow you to make educated decisions," Tarkowski said.
Coming in second and third: rural Potter and Cameron counties. Ranked 10th: Dauphin County neighbor Cumberland County.
Here's how central Pennsylvania counties ranked:
1.) Dauphin County: 2.92 registered sex offenders per 1,000 people
10.) Cumberland County: 1.95
24.) Lebanon County: 1.69
26.) Fulton County: 1.61
27.) York County: 1.60
34.) Franklin County: 1.43
39.) Adams County: 1.34
49.) Lancaster County: 1.21
Statewide average: 1.50
County totals were taken from the Pennsylvania State Police's Megan's Law website. Offenders who live and work in different counties or had alternate addresses would be listed in all relevant counties, according to Tarkowski.
Totals do not include incarcerated offenders.
Population data taken from 2010 census. Population changes and regular updates to sex offender location data may affect rankings.

10 TIMES THE ACTION GENRE SCHOOLED HATE
Troy-Jeffrey Allen February 9, 2018
BooksComicsCultureGamesMovies5 Comments4479 views
Currently, there is a deep, unmistakable panic surrounding the dangers of right-wing racial ideology. Needless to say, these concerns aren't new. And while the entertainment industry has long had its own issues with representation, it has also given those who support anti-discrimination some much needed catharsis over the years.
World War II serves as the clearest and most obvious example of this. The Hollywood propaganda machine during the war effort was not shy about turning the tables on Nazism by creating fictional heroes who pushed back. But the notion that superheroes and action stars could be used to promote the smiting of racism didn't end with the war.
Here are 10 of my favorite moments where pop culture took the fight to the bigoted oppressors and won!
10. Django
Let's start with something fairly recent. When Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained initially hit theaters, Minister Louis Farrakhan called the film "preparation for race war." That's a bold statement from a man known for making bold statements. But it's also a testament to how visceral a work of fiction can be when it isn't neutered by a studio but allowed to ruminate — unfiltered — inside the collective consciousness.
9. Bad Boys II
Michael Bay received a lot of flack for his admittedly goofy use of voice actors in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. But let's not forget that this is the same director that cold-opened Bad Boys II with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence shrugging off an assault by the KKK. A version of the above clip was used as the hook in Bad Boys II's marketing strategy. It sure as hell worked too. The movie went on to gross $273 million worldwide. Apparently, a lot of us really enjoy seeing racists getting shot in slow-motion.
8. The Nation of Domination
From a period in time that the WWE seems to want to forget. Of course, I'm talking about "The Attitude Era". That extremely popular chunk between 1996 and the early 2000s when the WWF/E brand was everywhere. However, there was that slightly awkward point where Vince McMahon's wrestling organization was transitioning into what he would inevitably call "crash TV". Part of that stumbling block was The Nation of Domination, a black "militant" wrestling stable featuring powerhouse Farooq, Olympian Mark Henry, D-Lo Brown, the man that would later be popularized as "The Godfather", and…The Rock. Yes, currently the biggest superstar in the world, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson got roped into a weekly race conversation on national television. One where the exceptionally popular Degeneration X gave them push back. It was awkward, it was often inappropriate, but it also could be pinpointed as the moment Johnson found some trajectory as a showman. The Nation of Domination was an understandably short-lived experiment, but it gave birth to the smack talking, animated persona that would catapult The Rock's career in the world of wrestling.
7. Black Panther vs. Red Skull
In an early 2000s arc written by acclaimed comic book writer Geoff Johns, The Red Skull discovered that his greatest enemy isn't Captain America…but two brown fists. In Avengers: Red Zone, Nazi madman Red Skull attempts to frame the African Nation of Wakanda for a terrorist attack on Mt. Rushmore. However, Skull soon finds out that advanced African monarchies don't like being used as pawns. Wakanda's king, Black Panther, promises to break Skull's jaw when it's all said and done. And that's exactly what he did.
6. Machete
Director Robert Rodriguez called it "Mexploitation", but his 2010 film Machete feels less and less sensational as the years go by. Especially, when you consider the fact that Danny Trejo (as the title character) is going up against a white politician obsessed with protecting U.S. jobs from immigrants, border security, and supplanting Obama-led "change" at all cost. Played by Robert de Niro, Senator McLaughlin wasn't intended to be a Trump surrogate, but the rallies, the double-speak, and the nonsensical catch-phrasing are straight out of the MAGA playbook.
5. Raiders of the Lost Ark/Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
While Indiana Jones may occasionally battle Thugee cults and Russian clairvoyants, he's known primarily for punching and shooting Nazis while en route to his next archeological find. However, Jones' best put down of fascism goes to his father (played by Sean Connery) in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. More professor than an action hero, Henry Jones, Sr. makes it a point throughout the film to rely on what is written as opposed to fighting it out. It serves him well in a particular encounter where he reminds a Nazi general that goose-stepping morons "should try reading books instead of burning them." And, truth be told, isn't knowledge the greatest enemy of ignorance?
4. Batman vs. Bruno
Admittedly, Bruno, Frank Miller's Neo-Nazi/Bridgette Nielsen lookalike is probably as much a not so subtle dig at angry feminist as it is a jab at right-wing extremism. But we're going to focus on the latter half and not as much the previous. Originally introduced in Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley's The Dark Knight Returns comic series, Bruno is a machine gun-wielding mad woman who runs interference on behalf of The Joker. But, c'mon…she's going up against Batman. A character that's been around long enough to have taken down not just neo-Nazis but regular old World War II Nazis as well. Bruno never stood a chance.
3. Lethal Weapon 2
'80s action movies are often accused of upholding Reagan-era values over progressive ones. However, for every John Rambo film where Sly Stallone guns down foreigners, there is a film like Lethal Weapon 2 where the main protagonists go up against racial oppression. Mind you, in the most absurd, slickly produced way possible. Lethal Weapon 2 sees LA cops Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Murtaugh (Danny Glover) once again biting off more they can chew when they encounter some unsavory business involving South African diplomats. As a way of sending a warning sign to the two Sergeants, these Apartheid-loving, Afrikaans-speaking asshats storm Murtaugh's house, tie up his Cosby-like family and drop a few racial slurs on their way out. But that's okay. As you can see in the above video, Glover gets his revenge in the end.
2. Boss Nigger
Yep. That's the title. And, of course, it came from the wild days of the Blaxploitation era. Starring football star-turned-filmmaker Fred Williamson, Boss Nigger is considered to be an even greater influence on Django Unchained than the Django spaghetti western series. Williamson and D'Urville Martin (the director of Dolemite) play a pair of bounty hunters who shoot their way to becoming the law enforcers of a small town lousy with racist white people. Mowing down and/or outsmarting all opposition, Williamson and Martin aggressively enforce"Black Man's Law", issuing fines for anyone who drops an n-bomb in their presence. Equally ludicrous and cathartic, Boss Nigger remains a controversial film but is totally worth hunting down to experience.
1. Captain America #1
Captain America #1 was an immediate smash hit when it hit stands in 1941. Largely because of its eye-catching cover featuring the very fictional title character slugging the very real Adolf Hitler in the jaw. Written and drawn by Jewish creators Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, the comic was released at the height of the war effort and is quite possibly one of the most imitated images in comics.
While it sure is cathartic to see the good guys put boot to racists, it is important to understand why these narratives had to exist. Be sure to take note of the impact made by the very real men, women, and children who have actually risked their lives to guarantee us all equal rights. Remember that fiction can collide with history…but history should never collide with fiction.
Ah. What the hell? Here is a bonus round from the first-person shooter Wolfenstein! Keep fighting the good fight, kids.
Okay. One more. From 1980's Blue Brothers.

" The absurdity of Williamson's excited warning tends to erode his reputation for high intelligence, but then it is only too often, as observed in the analysis 'Clever Sillies', that "the most intelligent people are more likely than those of average intelligence to have novel but silly ideas, and therefore to believe and behave maladaptively.

TDLC Summer Internships:
Supporting High School, Undergraduate and Graduate Research and Training
"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn."
Educators have demonstrated the power of Benjamin Franklin's famous quote. Learning from real-life experiences, also known as "experiential learning," has been shown to be a very powerful tool for teaching.
The Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center (TDLC), positioned at the cutting edge of science and brain research, is in a key position to offer training to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, especially those under-represented in science. A few of the associated programs include:
The UC-HBCU Initiative (Historic Black Colleges and Universities)
UCSD Howard Pathways Program
UCSD Summer Training Academy for Research in the Sciences (STARS) Program
The Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) , and
The Preuss School Internship Program
These programs are especially significant as our nation's educators, scientists, and policy makers realize the need for improved STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education for students, to improve our nation's competitiveness in technology development. Recruiting talented and enthusiastic students, and offering them training and experience, is critical for the continued success and growth of universities, and our country.
Illustration of a TDLC Internship
No where is the enthusiasm and talent of interns more evident than in TDLC Acting-Director Andrea Chiba's lab. Her three summer interns – Robert Moore, Vivian Phillips, and Andrea Elser – eagerly share details of their project. The team is studying prosocial behavior (empathy) in rats. Vivian, a freshman neuroscience major from Agnus Scott College, explains: "We are attempting to replicate a study which found that rats will release another rat trapped in a restrainer, and will do so even if there is food available only to the free rat." (Bartal, Decety and Mason, Science, 2011)
Unlike the initial study, this new study adds several elements. Robert, Andrea and Vivian take turns explaining: The rats will first be video taped in an open enriched environment in order to determine their social interactions and how those factors might influence whether or not the freerat will act altruistically. Once they have a good measure of what causes the free rat to release the trapped rat, they will attempt to elicit the empathic response towards an artificial life form – iRAT – a navigating robotic rat. This may involve iRAT emitting smells or sounds such as distress calls.
Fellow scientist, Dr. Laleh Quinn, Ph.D. -- faculty in the UCSD Department of Cognitive Science -- is leading the study and has been an invaluable mentor to the interns. She adds, "Ultimately we intend to record brain activity from regions thought to be involved in social behavior to more fully understand how the brain encodes empathy."
The three interns talk in a fluent, interwoven way, with a seeming unspoken understanding of who will speak next. Their excitement, enthusiasm, and closeness is palpable, as they commiserate about some of the humorous/frustrating challenges they tackled, such as figuring out how to paint the backs of the rats so they could be identified in videotape. "They really learned how to trouble shoot and think about how to make these experiments work, and make them better," Laleh shares. "I'm just amazed at how well they've done in two months. They work great together."
This cohesion and teamwork is especially impressive, in a group coming from such diverse backgrounds and interests. Robert Moore, a senior at Howard University, is a summer scholar on an HBCU grant from the Office of the President, who learned about the internship through the UCSD Howard Pathways Project. He had no background in neuroscience, but comes from a family of teachers. In addition, his father, who works at the Howard University Medical School, encouraged him to explore the program. "I want to be a neurologist," Robert shares. "I hope to have an M.D./Ph.D. degree – so the exposure to research was great. I wanted to find out where I should start."
Vivian Phillips, a freshman at Agnus Scott College, showed an early interest in neuroscience. In 6th grade, she read a book called "A Mango-Shaped Space" about a 13-year-old girl living with synesthesia. From then on, she fell in love with the brain and the field of neuroscience, and became the co-president of her high school neuroscience club at The Bishops School. It also helped that her mother, Veronica Henson Phillips, heads the STARS program at UC San Diego and helped introduce her to Dr. Chiba's lab.
Unlike Robert and Vivian, Andrea Elser's connection with the Chiba lab came about more randomly. "I babysat for a neighbor who knows Dr. Chiba. My neighbor said, 'You are both named Andrea, you both went to Berkeley, you are both in Cog Sci, you should talk to her!" Andrea, a cognitive science major at UC Berkeley, contacted Dr. Chiba about internship opportunities, and the rest is history!
Benefits of Internships
Internships are beneficial to students and to the universities that offer such programs. For Vivian, Robert and Andrea, all agree that the experience has helped guide their future paths. They were able to take what they learn in class and apply it to real world situations. They were exposed to research protocols, coding, and trouble-shooting, and gained experience in the field to help them better determine what they like and dislike. They will also become published authors listed on any published paper about the project they participated in, and Robert presented a PowerPoint Presentation about their project at The UCSD Summer Research Conference. The internship experience gave them a chance to 'try out' the field, gain confidence in their own abilities, and discover innovative ways to overcome obstacles and determine future research areas they would like to explore.
"This internship experience has really helped me a lot," Robert shared, "and I have met great people that love science as I do." For Vivian, it helped to cement her dream of one day being able to run a lab like Dr. Chiba ("She is a Super Woman!"), to study brain disorders. "Science is definitely becoming merged with engineering and technology," she adds, "so the coding I learned in the lab was really helpful for me. And I kind of got over my fear of rats, too!" For Andrea, the experience broadened her perspective. "I actually started off interested in people and mental illness. This internship is a stepping stone to see if I want to do research in the future."
An important part of a university internship experience is the ability to provide devoted, talented mentors such as Laleh, who has spent substantial time with Vivian, Robert and Andrea in the lab. Andrea Chiba shares, "The general scientific climate is so competitive these days that it is really wonderful that there are still high level research scientists like Laleh who are willing to slow down and devote large chunks of time towards teaching aspiring scientists the intricacies of research. It is a labor of love, not just for the students, but also for the future quality of the larger scientific community."
Additional Summer Internship Examples at TDLC
Summer internships like the program offered in Dr. Chiba's lab occur in many TDLC labs. In Jim Tanaka's Center for Autism Research, Technology and Education (CARTE), middle school student Elliot McSmythurs has joined their Let's Face It programming team. The TDLC-associated center examines the cognitive and neurophysiological processes underlying face recognition. Jim has recruited Elliot to help program software for the application and shares that, "He is doing some amazing things for us. Elliot happens to be on the autism spectrum so it is cool that he is helping code up software for other Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) kids. Elliot is a real whiz kid."
And in the UCSD Cognitive Developmental Lab, Gedeon Deak took on CSUSB student Vanessa Carlos through the UCSD STARS Program. During her eight-week internship, Vanessa began coding for the Gaze and Point project, and helped with both analysis and reliability. "This experience helped me to further ground my determination in attending graduate school and achieving my Ph.D. in cognitive psychology," she shared. "I greatly enjoyed my experience at UCSD and plan on applying there, as well as a wealth of other schools."
Another type of internship offered through TDLC is the Preuss Internship Program. The Preuss School, jointly chartered by UC San Diego and the San Diego Unified School District, is a middle and high school dedicated to providing an intensive college preparatory education for motivated low-income students who will become the first in their families to graduate from college. Preuss seniors who are interested in TDLC-related topics spend around 13 weeks assigned to a TDLC lab. Gary Cottrell first hosted a Preuss intern in his lab in 2005, providing his student the opportunity to study neural networks. Other TDLC investigators, including Andrea Chiba, Javier Movellan, and Gedeon Deak, have also hosted Preuss interns.
Internships Benefit Universities
In addition to helping students, internships also benefit the universities that offer these programs. Students share enthusiasm, creativity and new viewpoints with the internship labs, and then they return to their schools eager to share their experiences in the field. In the case of the interns in Andrea Chiba's lab, all three seem invigorated and plan to continue their studies in neuroscience or cognitive science. In fact, several hope to apply to graduate programs at UC San Diego in the future. "I love this school!" Robert adds, "It's probably top three (in my choices)."
"They have been great," mentor Laleh from Dr. Chiba's lab candidly exclaims. "I don't know what I'm going to do without them!" From the look on everyone's faces, the feeling is mutual.

Lawyers are not immediately recognized as the most creative souls on the planet but some of the best lawyers I know definitely have the the creative spark. I have seen many who were classic doodlers, photographers and painters. Some of them were also the most creative in the courtroom and ultimately very successful in winning cases. That's why I am intrigued by the Iowa Creativity Summit that is scheduled for March 1st at Drake University (Olmstead Center). Your registration includes dinner and two workshops led by best selling author Matthew E. May. The evening program begins at 5:15 p.m. and ends at 9:45 p.m.
This is a great opportunity for business leaders and employees to familiarize themselves with the creative process. As the program says, creativity isn't just for marketers or designers, it's for everybody. Even lawyers and entrepreneurs!

HOME > EDITORIALS > September 2018
From the Editor - September 1st , 2018
Greetings once more! After missing an edition in July thanks to the intervention of a three week absence on vacation, I've now managed to get two straight editions out on time! I had to prepare this edition a few weeks early due to a trip to Alberta in mid to late August, but here it is anyway! It may be missing a few items of late news, but I'll fit them in next month.
The extreme heat which we've experienced this summer has prevented me from keeping up with the testing schedule which is an essential activity in support of new articles. Consequently, my feature article this time is one of several which I wrote up some time ago and have intentionally kept "on the shelf" for use in situations like this when I fall behind. Hopefully we'll get some cooler weather soon which will allow me to get caught up. However, I suspect that with climate change relentlessly pursuing its unchecked course, we'd better get used to this...............here in British Columbia, we now have the worst wildfire season on record, surpassing the previous record set last year. And there's still no end in sight as we enter September.......
On a more positive note, I'm glad to report that the level of reader engagement with this site held up quite well despite the missed July issue and the competing diversions of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. In July 2018, the last month for which complete data are available at the time of writing, the number of hits rebounded somewhat from the June figure of 434,688 to 458,957 in July. This confirms a continuing high level of site visibility.
The best news was that this translated into a total of 15,206 actual visits in July. This established a new record for monthly visitation, slightly topping the previous mark of 15,144 set way back in December 2017. Clearly those hits translated into a considerable level of interest.
Oddly enough, the increased visitation did not translate into a commensurate increase in the number of pages viewed. On the contrary, the total number of pages accessed actually declined sharply, falling quite significantly from 83,005 in June to only 68,983 in July despite the increased visitation. To me, it seems probable that the major cause of this decline was the absence of any new information in July thanks to the missed issue - people may have been checking in to see what was new and gone away disappointed after finding that nothing had changed. Sorry about that!
It would appear that the new articles each month may be responsible for more of the traffic here than I'd realized. Perhaps everyone who's still interested in model engines has already read the entire contents of the site and is therefore chiefly looking for new material, which wasn't there in July.
It's also possible that people using the site are becoming more focused on specific topics than on merely browsing for their own enjoyment. Perhaps the site is being increasingly used as a reference rather than as a browsing site for readers' entertainment.
Regardless of the reason, the net result was that the average number of pages accessed per visit fell sharply from the June figure of 6.9 to only 4.5 in July - those visiting the site evidently found less to hold their attention. It's been a while since a number this low was recorded. Once again, it would appear that people looking for information on this site were either seeking new material or knew exactly what they were looking for. August may tell the story, since new material did appear that month. We'll see how that month unfolds....................
Despite my repeated admonitions not to do so, people are continuing to try to register on this website. As I've previously stated repeatedly, this has absolutely no effect - it's simply an artefact left over from the generic platform's intended use as an on-line sales site. Since this is not a sales site, the registration feature is redundant and I make no use of it whatsoever. Before anyone asks, I've explored the possibility of removing it, but it can't be done without extensive (and very expensive) modification to the otherwise very useable platform. So the bottom line remains - please don't bother registering! Doing so simply creates unnecessary cyber-clutter, which I don't need! This message clearly needs to remain a regular feature of these Editorials...........
Along with the continued use of the website, the correspondence from my valued contacts around the world has continued to pour in unabated. During the past month I've heard from Andrew Boddington, Maris Dislers, David Burke, Steve Thomas, Jesus Delgado, Steve Webb, Peng Han, Steve Hainsworth, Ed Holly, Luis Petersen, Peter Valicek, Paul Rossiter, Mike Conner, Tom Coletta, Steve Archambault, Tim Dannels, Miles Patience, Ken Croft, Kevin Richards, Graham Podd, Dave Zwolak, Pat O'Donnell and Walter Barbui. Sincere apologies to anyone whom I may have inadvertently missed in the crowd - it can be hard to keep track! The blog site has also continued to justify its existence by generating a fair amount of traffic - thanks for that.
Peng Han, owner of the CS company of Shanghai, China, contacted me (and a few others) with the welcome news that after several years out of the business he is re-entering the specialist model engine market with a new brand - UNICORN. He will also continue to supply a number of the former CS diesel models. He has maintained the supply of spare parts for those models all along.
No-one who has been following evolving market conditions can be in any doubt that this is a labour of love rather than an attempt to generate large profits. Indeed, Hans (as he likes to be known by his overseas friends) tells me that he fully recognizes the present market limitations and is making a come-back purely because, in his own words, "I cannot give up my engine dream". A true enthusiast, as I have frequently said before! His intention is to build engines of unusual and innovative designs in relatively limited numbers under the new UNICORN marque primarily for the collector and engine enthusiast markets, as well as to resume supplying certain CS diesel classics. Welcome news indeed!!
I gather that much of the machining for the new UNICORN models will be contracted out, while the established CS plant will function as the development centre for new models in addition to supplying some of the previous CS diesel designs.
The first product of the new venture will be a long-stroke valved exhaust two-stroke FRV glow-plug model of a parallel design to that of large two-stroke marine diesels. Massive torque development potential there! The engine is primarily intended for collectors and engine enthusiasts, but is reportedly suitable for flying models in the .40 cuin. displacement category. Stay tuned for further details...........meanwhile, the attached G/A drawing shows the general layout.
The production of a limited number of examples of this fascinating powerplant is planned for this Fall. The first production examples will likely be completed by the end of September. If any reader is interested in obtaining an example, you can contact Hans by email to register your interest.
Motor Boy Ken Croft wrote in to express his sympathy for Peter Valicek in dealing with the loss of his faithful feline companion Felix, as reported last month. As a fellow pet owner, Ken can empathize. Thankfully, Ken's canine companions Louis and Lara, both Miniature Schnauzers, are very much alive and well, as proved by the attached photo taken by Ken's Belgian friend Willy Biesemans. Lara's name has an air of inevitability about it - she simply had to be Lara Croft, didn't she?!?
Ken was also kind enough to share a recent experience which should serve as a warning to those of us invloved in the construction and/or restoration of model engines. Specifically, his tale emphasizes the need for extreme caution when considering the purchase of machine tooling through the Internet.
Although he now lives in South-West France, Ken was previously a resident of the UK. At that time he had a small but extremely productive little workshop with a mill/drill, a Delapena [Sunnen] bench hone and a nice Myford S7b lathe. At his latter-day French residence he was down to a vice, bandsaw and small bench drill for household projects.
Although he no longer has any desire to get back into engine building with its attendant hours spent hiding away in a workshop, Ken found himself rather missing having a lathe. Just wanting something to fiddle with in the boring winter nights, perhaps at most turning out a few motor parts, he began casting about looking at available mini-lathes and the like.
Ken's preferred UK supplier is Warco, who had a small Chinese-made lather that looked as if it might suit. However, Ken came across another UK company called Chester who had the same small lathes at slightly lower prices. After looking over their web-site, Ken made contact with Chester.
Mini-lathes usually come with a little 3" 3 jaw chuck but sometimes a 4". However, the Chester offering not only claimed to have a 4" 3-jaw, but also a 6" 4 jaw. A 6" chuck is huge for such a small lathe, to the point that Ken frankly didn't believe it. Still browsing their web site, he looked at little vertical milling slides for the mini lathe. A medium slide was a recommended accessory for the chosen lathe, but when Ken looked at their range of slide sizes in a different area of the site, the small one was recommended for the mini lathe. A very clear conflict ..............
Still on their web site, a pop-up appeared saying their chat-line was live. Ken typed some questions, but after about 30 minutes there was no response. Clearly not live at all! Some time after Ken had closed down their site, an email massage eventually came through with an apology. It seems that in reality the mini lathe comes with two 3" chucks, not a 4" and a 6", and the medium vertical slide recommended for the mini lathe is also wrong - it should be the small size.
The conclusion which Ken passed along is that anyone trusting to unchecked web site information and placing an order could be in for some surprises. In the cited example, one has to wonder what other mistakes were hiding. Ken emailed back saying that they need to get their web site in order, and that since he was located 1468 km distant from their premises (too far away to risk delivery errors), they would not be getting his order.
Some may wonder why Ken was looking to buy from the UK when he lives permanently in France. Quite simply, the price in France for a bare lathe is significantly higher than for the exact same lathe in the UK, fully equipped with two chucks, two steadies, two centres, a faceplate, and maintenance tools, including shipping to Ken in France. Even Ken's local equipment supplier knows that, and it turns out that on the lathes he offers, he too has a similar number of factual error in his advertising!
There's some good advice there for anyone either selling or buying a lathe (or indeed any other machine tooling) via the Internet. Sellers really need to ensure that their promotional information is both complete and factual, while buyers should be wary of accepting promotional details as being accurate without making direct contact to check up. Treat the whole process with a great deal of caution - rectification of any "anomalies" following delivery can be an agonizing process!
My valued Italian correspondent Walter Barbui really bailed me out during August. I've been preparing a review of a well-tweaked Barbini B.40-based "special" which came my way some time ago. This engine may be an ex-Cesare Rossi unit if the "C-R" initials engraved upon the custom-made crankcase are anything to go by - the Rossi brothers are known to have been Barbini users prior to 1958.
I had tried to test this unit, but suffered a failure of the circlip which retains the needle roller big end bearing. Result - a case full of tiny rollers! Hearing from me regarding this problem, Walter was kind enough to get in touch with Bruno Barbini, who was able to supply the required replacement parts. It would be hard to overstate my gratitude to Walter and Bruno - the test is back on track, and an article will appear here in due course. Hopefully the problem will not recur .............
Turning now to the lead article for this month, I've reached back to the shelf and pulled out an article written earlier this year about one of the first 1 cc diesels to appear on the British market - the Kemp 1 cc FRV model from around April 1947. In keeping with my usual practise, I've held this article back along with a few other completed write-ups to be used in situations where either my testing program falls behind (as in the present case) or time pressures simply preclude the preparation of a new article for a given edition. In this instance, both of those conditions applied!
The Kemp 1 cc diesel was the second model engine design to fly off the drawing board of Harold Kemp of Gravesend in Kent, England. I've written previously about Kemp's first design, the 4.4 cc Kemp K4 diesel. The Kemp 1 cc model represented Harold Kemp's attempt to tap into the British "small engine" market which was relatively poorly served as of early 1947. At the time of its release, Kemp was still very much in "catch-up" mode in terms of model diesel design, the result being that the engine was a relatively modest performer. However, it ran very smoothly and was built to last. It seems to have remained in production for some ten months or so, during which time over 800 examples were manufactured.
For next month, we return to Eastern Europe duing the Iron Curtain era to take a look at the Tono range of model engines produced in Czechoslovakia (as the Czech Republic was then) at the instigation of František Starý and Velké Ćermné of Vysoké Mýto, a town in the present-day Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. Manufactured from the late 1950's through to the mid 1960's, these excellent engines never made much of an impact upon the international marketplace since they were never exported in any quanitity. However, their qualities are such that they richly deserve an honoured place in the history of model engine manufacture in their country of origin. Next month's feature article will amply back up that claim!
I think that's it for now. I'll be back to you with another issue on or about October 1st, 2018. Meanwhile, best wishes for continued enjoyment of our shared addiction, and may the heady aroma of diesel fumes or burning nitro assault your nostrils frequently.............. !

Quick-broil Tuna
This method of broiling allows you to broil without oil, and it is very fast and efficient, sealing in the juices of the fish. Preheat broiler on high and place an empty pan under flame to get very hot, about 10 minutes. Use a stainless stell pan that has a metal handle, so it doesn't burn. Prepare fish and when pan is very hot remove from broiler and add fish. Place back under the broiler and cook for just a few minutes depending on the thickness. Keep in mind that it is cooking rapidly on both sides so it is done very fast, usually in 3-5 minutes, depending on thickness.

Activities in London
Windsor, Stonehenge and Oxford Day Trip
Our guide Alex was wonderful !!!
10 Anónimo
10 hours - 11 hours
Book a full day-trip from London to discover three of the most fascinating places in England: explore Windsor Castle, the Queen's favorite castle, visit Stonehenge, one of the world's most famous prehistoric monuments and Oxford, one of the oldest cities in England.
Oxford Bridge of Sighs
St George's Chapel, Windsor
Visiting Stonehenge
Panoramic views of Oxford
Board on a comfortable coach at 8:30am at central London and relax until you get to Windsor Castle. It will only take one hour to get there.
Very near London, Windsor Castle is the largest occupied fortification with an 800-year-old tower. It has been built in a privileged location and is surrounded by a magnificent garden. While you visit the Castle, you will understand why Queen Elizabeth spends all her weekends in this beautiful royal palace. You'll be able to explore its rooms, admire its works of art and visit St George's Chapel. One of the Castle's highlights is Queen Mary's Doll House, a beautiful toy house built between 1921 and 1924 and which even had hot water and electricity.
The next stop will be Stonehenge, the United Kingdom's most renowned megalithic monument. It was built with 40-ton prehistoric stones over 5,000 years ago. To this day, this landmark is a mystery, as it is not clear how it was built or what purpose it had.
The last stop of this day-trip is Oxford, one of the oldest cities in England and home to one of the most prestigious universities in the world. You'll be able to admire "the city of dreaming spires" and visit the Bodleian Library, one of the most ancient libraries in the world. The charming streets and squares of Oxford will not leave you indifferent.
You'll be back in London around 6:30pm and you can either get off at Kensington or Victoria Station.
Windsor Castle is a working royal palace and planned closures may suffer alterations. The bus will stop at Victoria at the end of the excursion as long as there is no traffic that stops this due to a lack of time. The castle will be closed to the public on the following dates:
On the 5th of May, and the 14th and 15th of June, the castle will be closed.
On the 17th of June, the castle will close at 3 pm. Last entry will be at 1:30 pm.
Seniors over 60 years old
Children 3-16 years old
10 - 11 hours.
The activity takes place with a guide that speaks in english, although it may occasionally be done in two languages.

Everything was perfect. I'm fron Chile and This is the second tine that I've take this tour. First one was last Augost in Summer with one of my kids and now in February (low season) with the other. Both times the tour was excelent, we had enough tine to walk around Oxford, to visit windsor Castel and Stonhenge. The guide was really good both times too. Totally recomended!
I travelled with teenagers
Rosa Mary
Nos resultó difícil ubicar el punto de encuentro, es una plaza cubierta que tiene varios puntos de salida, casi no llegamos. Por el resto bien Matt y Antonio muy agradables.
I travelled with friends
More time into the coach than visiting the places. Not enough time to enjoy them
I travelled with small children
It was all ok, but I would prefer that the guide would be with us in each of the activities and not leaving us by our own. I understand it was the way the excursion was established but I would prefer to know it in advance.
The guide was excellent and very clear. The whole service was very good.

Max Racer: Podium in Warroad!
Another weekend is in the books. This weekend we were up in Warroad, Minnesota, for round six of the USXC series and it was a rough one.
For starters, I seemed to have caught the bug going around and felt like complete garbage the days leading up to the race. I kinda just huddled up in the trailer with a bottle of DayQuil the whole weekend, until it was time to go race. I've raced under the weather before so there was no worries.
We had the best snow conditions we have seen so far this year, which is great but it also made for some deep holes and whooped out sections.
We decided to run in the I500 open class this weekend, which is just another Semi Pro class. That was the first race for me on Saturday morning and I honestly don't have much to say about it. The sled handled amazing and I came home on top by 34 seconds! I did start in the first group of riders to go out which was to my advantage. I got out front early, didn't have to fight through any snow dust, and was able to pull away. It was just a very smooth race.
Next up was the Semi Pro Improved class. This time I didn't have the luxury of starting up front. It's was brutal fighting through the snow dust with some really fast riders but I was still able to pull off a 4th place finish. I was really happy with how I rode on Saturday but Warroad is a combined two-day race.
Sunday morning's first race was the I500 open class again. I got off to another great start and made a few passes really early. Everything was going good until I made a stupid mistake and came off the sled. It all happened so fast, I just got crossed up in the bumps and dumped it. I got back going as quick as I could and rode really hard the rest of the race trying to make up time. Unfortunately, my mistake cost me and I ended up in 2nd place on the weekend. I missed the overall win by two seconds! I'm still having nightmares of me flying off the sled and it rolling away from me. I had to let it go because it was time to focus on the Semi Pro Improved class.
Again, I got off to a good start and made some good passes. I felt good on the ZR all weekend and it handled really well on the rough track. I tried to run a smart race and finished in 4th place on Sunday, giving me 4th overall for the weekend in the class.
Overall I'm happy with the weekend to come home safe and healthy. It's crazy how fast the year has gone. Next weekend we head to Naytahwaush, Minnesota, for the last round of the series. This has always been one of my favorite tracks so I'm looking forward to this one. The weather is gonna be great so come on out to the races!


It kind of was. And, I kind of weeped about it. First follower to catch and comment on the "torch" snafu (trust me, you'll know it when you see it) wins a shout-out in the next video. And, question of the day: WHAT BROKE? Enjoy!
Also, many of you asked, so shall you receive! I have added a one-time donation option (right side-bar) to our Give the Gift of Cruising campaign on Patreon. I will convert all one-time donations into weekly contributions toward our campaign goal. Only $18 to go. I have a feeling we're going to meet our first mark this week. Who's excited?! Me! Me!
Get inspired. Get on board.

Hey Bill! Thanks for the comment. We were torquing to 250 (whoa!). I know, but 'dems the specs. And, I assume it was a tool designed to do that because we borrowed it specifically from a friend of ours who is a mechanic with the very purpose of torquing to 250. I felt terrible that we broke it, but it was a Stanley and he said they have a lifetime warranty so he actually ended up with a newer socket out of the deal. Ha! Thank the ever-lovin' stars above it was NOT a keel bolt! Appreciate you watching! Was great to meet you this past weekend too. Tell Jean hello!
Well won't you just go figure. Your keel has a smile, That is what we call it. You do see that a lot on bolt on keels. You have to remember that a boat is a dynamic thing. Things are always moving and giving and working a little while you are out there. Remember all the creaking sounds that you had in that video under way. Keel bolts do need to be checked on occasion. Looking for pit corrosion and then just give em all you have to tighten them down, I would liked to have seen you with a mask on. Not good breathing in that lead ya know!!
Most of the time it is just the fairing compound that has cracked and that is what you are dealing with by grinding it open.
Now I hope that you did not break the bolt off, that would not be good. Sounded like the torque wrench gave. But that is what they do when you have the proper torque reached. They snap indicating the set torque is reached.
It will be worth it, There is no free ride to the end of the rainbow.
Rick! So much to say. And, I just saw your donation. With that, I'm going to declare the goal reached and will register it on my Patreon page for a social blast tomorrow. THANK YOU!!! How exciting. I'm so excited to share Pam with you all, her wonderful knowledge and enthusiasm for cruising and help one of my Patrons truly realize their dream. What an awesome journey to launch and share! You have made that possible!
Now back to these bloody bolts. You sure know your stuff Rick. Yes, I have now learned this is probably something that should be done every 3-5 years. I had no clue initially. I would have thought they were permanent. But, you're right, everything on a boat shifts and bends (more than you would think). It shocks me to see how flexible the mast actually is. By using GFlex Brandon ensured our keel will now be flexible but still strong as well. And, you're right about the wrench. We broke the torquer (that's an Annie word today — on the house) on it. I did hear the clicks on the other when we reached their max but this was an all-out SNAP! It was a friend's and I felt horrible, but he said it was a Stanley and they honored the lifetime warranty on it, so he got a new torque wrench out of the deal. All things seem to work out, huh? So glad to have you following along. Thank you again for the contribution. You've made it happen. Next video should be announcement of the winner! Yay!
Rick, I just transferred your donation to a $5 weekly contribution toward my Patreon campaign so you'll get my weekly Patreon posts as well. What?! More Annie in your inbox. That's freaking right! Thanks again. Enjoy the additional posts.
My parents went through a really bad storm with hurricane level winds one summer. When they pulled their Catalina 30 out in the fall, the keel had dropped on it's bolts a full inch. The dealer came immediately and torqued the bolts up to spec pulling the keel back into position. No questions of out of warranty or any charge. We were told they just loosened up, but I don't see how that's possible since the nuts were epoxied in the bilge. I can not see any way they could have turned. I always wondered if the bolts weren't solid in the lead casting. If they had lost the keel I doubt they would have survived the storm. After the repair, my parents were promised all was well, nothing to worry about. They retired shortly thereafter and sold the boat.
Wow. Interesting story, thanks for sharing Steven. Loosening of the keel bolts we were told is pretty common and that you should check them every couple of years. The keel falling off is pretty rare but possible. So glad your folks were okay!


I will definitely say a prayer. That is so hard.
Your picture is gorgeous. Really stunning!
Great shot! I'm such a slacker. I haven't sent Christmas cards out in years. A goat obsession-the truth comes out!! LOL. That's so cool that you got to meet some other bloggers.
What a fun Fall Day!!! And the picture is fab - as always!
That photo of you and your hubby is gorg!!! BTW, where is your leopard print scarf from?

Realogics Sotheby's International Realty (RSIR) presents the Market Report: Puget Sound Real Estate Trends & 2015 Year in Review, a comprehensive look at the 2015 real estate market in an exploration of seven key counties of Western Washington: King, Snohomish, Kitsap, Pierce, Jefferson and Island counties, as well as 29 neighborhoods for our current and prospective clients. The report touches on macroeconomic trends, the primary demand drivers influencing our regional real estate market in addition to micro markets that vary greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood.
The year 2015 witnessed white-hot real estate conditions throughout the Puget Sound not seen since before the Great Recession. Prices of real estate throughout the Puget Sound catapulted higher in 2015, the result of tight supply and an influx of new buyers. A similar trajectory is expected in 2016: expanding demand, anemic supply and developers playing catch up to increasing homeownership levels.
The Puget Sound region has taken a different path from other boomtowns in North America whose economies are based on resource extraction (e.g., oil), financial intermediation, or entertainment. Seattle's aerospace industry has gradually yielded its eminence to the service expansion and new product development cycles of the information tech industry and their secondary employment effects on IT contractors, food & beverage businesses, and real estate developers.
Besides drawing new residents domestically from other U.S. states, the Puget Sound benefits from the state's importance as a gateway to trade with Asia, as well as from international air travel to and from Sea-Tac International Airport. The Sound's proximity to international communities across the broader region from Vancouver, British Columbia to Los Angeles and San Diego is also a factor, as is the superior quality of life in the region and its comparative affordability in respect to those other markets. The international eminence that results from these features of our local economy has allowed the area to attract growing numbers of immigrants from overseas and recognition as a global gateway city.
As always, for the most current market information around the corner or around the world, reach out to one of RSIR's Global Real Estate Advisors by visiting www.RSIR.com.
