Q: How to delete clock signal on chisel3 top module? I have a blinking led design who use a differential clock input (xilinx AC701 kit).
To instantiate the Xilinx differential buffer I'm using a BlackBox as explained by jkoening here:
class Top extends Module {
  val io = IO(new Bundle{
    val clock_p = Input(Clock())
    val clock_n = Input(Clock())
    val led = Output(Bool())
  })

  val ibufds = Module(new IBUFDS)
  ibufds.io.I := io.clock_p
  ibufds.io.IB:= io.clock_n

  val blink = Module(new Blink)
  blink.clock := ibufds.io.O
  io.led := blink.io.led

}

That works, but On the Top verilog module I have a useless clock input :
module Top(
  input   clock,
  input   reset,
  input   io_clock_p,
  input   io_clock_n,
  output  io_led
);
...

Then on the target only io_clock_p and io_clock_n are used for clock input. clock signal is useless. Is there a proper way to hide it ?

A: After discussion with Chisel3 team a feature has been added to support this.
The solution is to use a RawModule:
class Top extends RawModule {
  val clock_p = IO(Input(Clock()))
  val clock_n = IO(Input(Clock()))
  val led = IO(Output(Bool()))

  val ibufds = Module(new IBUFDS)
  ibufds.io.I := clock_p
  ibufds.io.IB:= clock_n

  withClockAndReset(ibufds.io.O, false.B) {
    val blink = Module(new Blink)
    led := blink.io.led
  }
}

A raw module has no implicit signal, and name are reflected «has it» in verilog generated file, no «io_» in prefix.
The source code of full blinking led project is available on this github project (blinking led project : blp).
Here is a french description of how to do it. To use this feature, last git master version of chisel3 must be used.

A: There is currently no way delete or even rename clock and reset on Chisel Modules. They are always there. Since Chisel uses positive-edge clocks, you could consider removing io_clock_p and using clock instead.
This is an oft-requested feature so it may be added in the future, but it is not currently supported.

That is how Sky shareholders feel as Murdoch controlled 21st Century Fox raised the bidding once again for Sky, eclipsing U.S. cable network Comcast's £12.50 bid with an all cash offer of £14.
The fight for Britain's leading pay-TV group is part of a bigger battle being waged in the entertainment industry as the world's media giants splash out tens of billions of dollars on deals to be able to compete with Netflix and Amazon. If true, this would be in violation of security rules and may well block - or at the very least stall - Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox and its precious entertainment assets.
Under the terms of the increased 21CF offer, Sky shareholders will be entitled to receive £14 in cash for each Sky share and this increased price includes an amount in lieu of a final dividend for the financial year ended June 30, 2018. Wright's predecessor had previously indicated the deal could go through if Sky was ultimately sold to a third party, like Disney. Take a look at Sky today. Comcast's sweetened offer values Sky at £26 billion, or about $34 billion.
Murdoch owns major British newspaper titles The Times and The Sun and critics say obtaining full control also of the rolling television channel Sky News would give him too much influence in the news business. "We will be posting our offer document to Sky shareholders shortly".
Fox said the performance of Sky since 2016 justified its new bid. Comcast is said to be ready to negotiate with the feds on the number of Fox RSN's it would have to divest as some of them may overlap with Comcast's NBC Sports regional networks.


Joshua Seftel is a 2017 Emmy nominee and Peabody Awards Finalist for creating the landmark Vox series Secret Life of Muslims. The timely and poignant set of documentaries has had more than 35 million views since Election Day. His 2016 award-winning documentary The Many Sad Fates of Mr. Toledano, produced with Morgan Spurlock and Steve Tisch, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was the most viewed New York Times Op-Docs of the year.
Seftel's first foray into narrative film, Breaking the Mold, gained cult status on the film festival circuit and caught the attention of filmmaker Alexander Payne, who championed him as a director. Seftel went on to direct the political satire War, Inc. starring John Cusack, Marisa Tomei, Hilary Duff, Joan Cusack, and Ben Kingsley which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Seftel also directed the breakthrough Emmy-winning series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and is a contributor to Ira Glass' This American Life, CBS Sunday Morning, and The New York Times. In his free time, he co-hosts a comedic web series with his 80-year-old mother about which The New York Times wrote, "the word 'droll' seems as if it were invented for these two." Seftel lives in Brooklyn with his wife, filmmaker Erika Frankel, and their daughter Lillian.

Do not be surprised when you see a big pop up with a rabbit when you visit DBS Multiplier website. There will be a change in the Terms and Conditions Governing Accounts (Applicable to Individuals) effective 1st May 2019.
One kind member had shared in my telegram chat on what's the main changes. It's a public chat where all are welcome to join and discuss financial matters.
The revised Terms and Conditions can be found here.
M.1.4 (New) No difference from what it is right now, which is you can't simultaneously hold the Multiplier Account and be enrolled in the POSB Cashback Bonus. I suppose they are just adding it into the black and white.
M.1.5: (New) Additional terms to the same as M.1.4. Basically, DBS can close either your Multiplier Account or de-enroll you from the POSB Cashback Bonus if they find that you have both.
M.2.2: Removed the $50,000 cap stated in the previous T&Cs. Maybe it is to later match the $70,000 SDIC cover.
M.2.5: Added the reference to switching to the POSB Cashback Bonus for the preferential interest. Which means that if you switch before you are credited the bonus for last month, you WILL NOT receive last month's bonus.
M.3.1: Added the line: "Modifications to the calendar month of which an Eligible Transactions was recorded is not allowed." Possibly for the avoidance of doubt.
Because M.3.4 contain many clauses, I've highlighted only the material changes.
M.3.4.1: Credit card spend: Nothing substantially different except they added the clarification under point (d) that reversed transactions do not qualify under credit card spend.
M.3.4.2: Home loans: Added that only Singapore residential home loans qualify.
M.3.4.3: Insurance: Removed the clause that the policy must be after its free look period, and clarified that the Policy Sign Date will be taken as the date of purchase. They also changed that if the policy has more than one holder, only the primary policyholder will be accorded the Eligible Transaction (previously was all policyholders). Lastly, they changed that premiums after ANY modifications to the policy will no longer qualify as Eligible Transactions.
M.3.4.4(a): Dividends: Added that SGX dividends credited into the Multi-Currency Settlement Account qualify (I assume this include non-SGD denominated dividends?). Previously, only SGD dividends qualify.
M.3.4.4(c): Unit Trust RSP: Added where a monthly deduction fails, subsequent RSP deductions will cease to qualify under Eligible Transactions.
M.3.4.4(d): Online equity trades: Added that contra trades, sell trades, and Electronic Payment of Shares (EPS) will not qualify under Eligible Transactions.
M.4.2: Replaced "relating to any services available under the Multiplier Terms" with "relating to the Multiplier Account". In practical terms, not a material change.

The New York Dolls are a protopunk group formed in New York City in 1971. Though they found little success during their initial run, the New York Dolls prefigured much of what was to come in the punk rock era and even later; the Dolls' over-the-top crossdressing influenced the look of many glam metal groups, especially that of early Mötley Crüe, and their shambling, sloppy but highly energetic playing style set the tone for many later rock and roll bands.
Chrissie Hynde once commented that every punk band ("And I knew them all") had both New York Dolls albums, illustrating the Dolls' influence. In 2004, the three surviving members reunited for some work. In 2006, now down to two surviving members, the band released a new album, One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This. Two albums followed after this, Cause I Sez So in 2009, followed up by a revamped lineup for 2011's Dancing Backward in High Heels.

For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. — Psalm 11:7 (KJV)
We are a group of ordinary people who love the Lord and His Word. All of our services are filled with Bible teaching. We major on Bible teaching. We also love to fellowship through our potlucks and other gatherings. You will find a friendly, caring atmosphere and a warm welcome. We love singing the old hymns and learning from in-depth preaching of the Word of God. We know your life will be enhanced by the inspirational music and spiritual food you will receive. In all that we do here, we try to keep Christ first. We have structured our ministries with classes and services to minister to the whole family.
Pastor Floyd Radebaugh was born and raised here in the Marion area. He came to know Christ as a young boy. After graduating from Pleasant Local High School, he planned to go to Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. He had decided to work a year to raise funds and during that time was drafted into the United States Army. While in the Army he served a tour of duty in Vietnam.
Vivian was raised in Vidor, Texas. She was saved at a young age and had dedicated her life to missionary work.
Pastor went to Baptist Bible College after being discharged from the Army. It was at Bible College that he met Vivian. They were married in May of 1971.
After graduating from Bible College, Pastor and Vivian went to Stilwell, Oklahoma, to work in a church newly formed by Vivian's father, Windel Ex. Pastor served as the Youth and Bus Director as well as the Choir Leader. God greatly blessed and the church and youth department grew. In 1975 God called Pastor to come to Marion and start the Calvary Bible Baptist Church.
Pastor and Vivian have four grown children. Jim is married to Pam and is a pilot. They have two children. Shellie is the wife of our Youth Pastor, Ken. Michael is married to Jennifer and he is the pastor of Mountain View Baptist Church in Cedar City, Utah. They have three children. Sherrie is married to Kevin Wade and is a substitute pianist and teacher at Bible Baptist Church in Marysville, Ohio.
Youth and Assistant Pastor
Kenneth and Shellie Wert work in our Youth and Junior Church ministries. Ken also works as visitation director. He grew up in the Bucyrus area and graduated from Wayside Christian School. Shellie grew up in our pastor's home and graduated from Emmanuel Christian Academy in Marion. Ken worked for Gaylord after graduation. Shellie attended and graduated from Massillon Baptist College with a degree in Christian Education.
Ken and Shellie were married in 1995 and worked for six years as volunteers in the youth department here at Calvary. Ken earned from Andersonville Baptist Seminary by correspondence both Associate of Theology degree and Bachelors in Theology degree. In 2002 Ken came on staff as Youth Pastor and Visitation Director.
Ken and Shellie have four children: Nathan, Daniel, Emily, and Verity.
These two ladies help keep the church running smoothly and in order.

We believe every word of the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the only guide for faith and practice. We believe God has preserved His Word for us in the King James Version and we use no other.
We believe in one God existing in three distinct persons, The Father, The Son, and The Spirit.
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith. God through His Son,
Jesus, has done the work of salvation and all who place their trust in Christ have eternal life and cannot lose their salvation.
Eternal Destiny
We believe in a literal Heaven and a literal fire hell. All who reject Jesus Christ will spend eternity in a Lake of Fire. Those who have trusted Christ as their Savior will spend eternity on a New Heaven and Earth.
We believe that every believer is sealed by the Holy Spirit at salvation. Each believer is gifted by the Spirit with abilities and talents to further the work of Christ. We believe the gift of tongues has ceased and is not to be practiced today. We believe in prayer for healing and that the apostolic gifts of healing have also ceased.
We believe that Satan is a fallen Cherub who continues to deceive and blind eyes to the truth.
Our music is very conservative and non-contemporary. We have dress standards for all who serve in specific ministries of our church.
We are an Independent Baptist Church fellowshipping with churches of like faith and governed only by this local congregation.

Our Church History
Our very first service in 1975 was held in a rented building in Caledonia, Ohio with 14 people present. In 1977 we purchased a small building at the present location. In 1979 we added a new auditorium and Sunday school addition. We soon had to expand the auditorium and add a new Sunday school addition. The Sunday School addition was completed in 1984. In 2001 a foyer and drive-through were added and in 2008 a Bus and Storage Garage was built. We also added a Playground area for the children, a concrete basketball court, and a place to park RV's for our missionaries. We tiled, leveled and reseeded our ball field. We continue to make improvements to our property and facilities.

Q: String encoding issue in Ruby In ruby 1.9.3-p484 I have to construct an SMPP package, but when I pass the constructed packet's content in string to the method that delivers it, a strange \xC2 value appears in the content. Having investigated the issue, I found the following interesting gotcha:
"\u008E".force_encoding("BINARY")
 => "\xC2\x8E"

Why does \u00BE become \xC2\8E when I want to use binary encoding? Why not \x00\x8E?

A: this is a binary representation.
 Take a look:

At Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:21:31 +0900, Heesob Park wrote in :

I noticed String#inspect results \x{XXXX} for the encoding other than

Is there any possibility that \x{XXXX} is accepted as an escape
  sequence of string?
irb(main):004:0> a = "\xC7\xD1\xB1\xDB"
This is in binary representation.
irb(main):010:0> a1
  => "\x{B1DB}"

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/3619
It's on a codepoint representation.

A: Because it is just forces text in binary encoding, and you have seen it as it is stored in memory. And it is stored in memory as an mbcs(Multi-Byte Character Set) data. And for chars over \x7F it become at leat two-bytes representation. So you can see:

You will support the monitoring and management of subcontracts for the supply of production services including, but not limited to, graphic design, editing, proof-reading, and indexing of the report.
You will support the production of report derivative materials (e.g. brochures, infographics, slide decks) to communicate the report's findings and reach out to stakeholders (policymakers, business, environmental NGOs, and the general public).
You will provide support for other projects or activities within the WGIII TSU as directed by the Head of TSU (Operations) and WGIII Co-Chairs.
You will have experience working in an editorial and/or project manager role, in a position such as Publication Manager, Editor, Editorial Officer, Editorial Manager or Associate Editor, Publications Officer, Production Manager, Production Officer, or similar.

After weeks of sometimes-testy talks, a tentative deal has been reached between Senate and House negotiators over new legislation aimed at fixing a veterans affairs health program scandalized by long patient wait times and a cover up of delays.
Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, who heads the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, and his House counterpart, Republican Representative Jeff Miller, are expected to outline the agreement at a news conference at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, their spokesmen said.
"Miller and Sanders continued negotiations on a VA reform package this weekend and made significant progress toward an agreement on legislation to make VA more accountable and to help the department recruit more doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals," their offices said in a statement.
The VA has been rocked by a scandal over cover-ups of months-long waiting times for medical appointments at its clinics and hospitals across the country. In Phoenix, doctors have alleged that some 40 veterans died as their names languished on secret waiting lists while officials misrepresented wait-time data to meet targets for bonus compensation.
The controversy led to the resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki in late May.
With time winding down before Congress begins a five-week recess on Friday, pressure has been building to reach a deal on a measure aimed at eliminating long waiting lists at VA hospitals and clinics.
Negotiations on the measure had broken down last week as Sanders and Miller rolled out competing proposals with a $15 billion gap between them.
The proposal introduced by Sanders on Thursday would provide less than $25 billion in new funds for VA healthcare, with $3.3 billion offset by other savings in the department's budget.
Miller came back with a plan for $10 billion in emergency funds, with other budget needs to be settled in the fiscal 2015 VA spending bill later this year.

White Drug Crime? What's That?
SourceImages Getty, Composite Sean Culligan/OZY
By Joshua Collins
Justice is not nearly as blind as it should be.
In the dusty parking lot of an isolated honky-tonk in the remote regions of the Rocky Mountains, I handed a trumpet case containing $30,000 to a complete stranger.
The girl, perhaps 20, and looking every bit the part of the stereotypical mountain girl with hip-hugging jeans and cropped dirty-blond hair, told me to wait. She jumped into her SUV and sped down the dirt road, disappearing into the jagged peaks of the horizon in the high plains of South Park County, Colorado.
It was my introductory foray into drug smuggling, and I had no idea what I was doing. In theory, she would come back with 30 pounds of high-grade marijuana that I would then drive back to Brooklyn. At least I hoped she came back, because the money wasn't mine.
"Every time I hire a Black man, he gets arrested," one of my long-term clients, a Black man who ran a marijuana delivery service in Bushwick, told me. "Give me dorky-looking white kids with glasses."
I walked inside and ordered a beer. My nerves needed it.
It was 2009, and that day was the beginning of a four-year run in which I and a few friends would organize a smuggling network that transported marijuana from California or Colorado to New York, where we sold it wholesale. By the end of that period, I was selling 20 pounds a week and had built a stealth marijuana grow house in the basement of a factory in the Brooklyn Navy Yards.
We didn't get away with it because we were particularly clever. We got away with it because in most of the U.S., if you weren't Black, you were invisible to the justice system.
We were also lucky. Mountain Girl did indeed return, and with buckling knees, cold sweats and a 1,800-mile white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel, I transported a trunkful of felonies across two-thirds of the country before selling it in Brooklyn, where it was worth almost $90,000.
I had doubled my partners' money, and after some operational costs, made a nice profit for myself. For a kid who had been squeaking out a living as a perennially broke touring musician living just across the street from the projects, it was a lot of money.
As I looked for clients, which in Brooklyn at that time wasn't a difficult task, I watched the public housing block from my bedroom window. Often sitting next to 20 to 40 pounds of marijuana, I realized I had it a lot easier than the Black teenagers hustling $10 bags in the projects for pocket money.
Plainclothes cops and uniformed patrolmen couldn't get enough of those kids. Between aggressive "stop and frisk" strategies, surveillance vans and plainclothes cops easily spotted by their identical costumes (white guys in Timberlands, with sunglasses, black leather jackets and Yankees caps), it was an around-the-clock operation.
When I walked past those same officers, often with multiple felonies on my person, they ignored me completely. If their goal was to get marijuana off the streets, they failed completely. But I don't believe that was their goal at all. The same war on drugs that allowed us to profit off of an easily grown plant criminalized impoverished Black communities and excluded them from the profits.
While they chased teenagers, we expanded. We graduated to commercial shipping, buying used cars whose panels we stuffed with contraband and paid a third company to transport them east. Our problem wasn't a lack of supply but rather a need for more customers.
"I can't hire Black men. Every time I hire a Black man, he gets arrested," one of my long-term clients, a Black man who ran a marijuana delivery service in Bushwick, told me. "Give me dorky-looking white kids with glasses and bike helmets. No one even glances at them."
Our employees and partners were white too. A Black man can't drive a car with 100 pounds of marijuana through the great plains of Kansas. Nor can he walk into a commercial shipping hub in Northern California to send custom tables packed with marijuana to Manhattan without drawing suspicion. He can't receive those shipments at a safe house in central Brooklyn and transport them back to Bushwick for distribution. But I could, and did. I was one of the invisibles.
I have friends still in jail from that period, and with one exception, they are all Black.
Eventually, I decided I'd had enough. The risk didn't justify the reward. I put half my savings into a bar as a silent partner on a handshake deal. I used the rest to organize one last shipment, giving the money to a longtime partner up front.
He disappeared and I never heard from him again.
A year later, the owner of the bar sold my share to an investor who was willing to sign contracts and show where the money came from. I could do nothing. What option did I have? "Hello, police? Yeah, these guys stole all my drug money. Could you get it back for me?"
And so I left the hustle as I started: with nothing. But I went on to start a new life with a clean record and my freedom, a luxury most of my Black friends from that period were never afforded.

Connecting a GigE Vision device to a computer means plugging both into the same Ethernet network.
It is recommended that the connection is as simple as possible. To achieve best performance use direct connection with a crossed Ethernet cable or connect the camera and the computer to the same Ethernet switch (without any other heavy traffic routed through the same switch).
The device and the computer must reside in a single local area network and must be set up for the same subnet.
GigE Vision® is designed for 1 Gb/s networks, but it is also possible to use 100 Mb/s connection as long as the entire network connection have an uniformed speed (some custom device configuration might be required when the device is not able to detect connection speed automatically). It is recommended however to avoid connecting a device to a network link which is faster than the maximum throughput of the whole network route. Such configurations require manual setting of the device's transmission speed limit.
GigE Vision® protocol produces a specific type of traffic that is not firewall friendly. Typical firewall software is unable to recognize that video streaming traffic is initialized by a local application and will block this connection. Adaptive Vision's GigE driver attempts to overcome this problem using firewall traversal mechanism, but not all devices support this.
It is thus required to enable incoming traffic on all UDP ports for Adaptive Vision Studio and Adaptive Vision Executor in a firewall on your local computer.
For information how to enable such traffic in Windows Firewall see: Enabling Traffic in Firewall.
In most situations a GigE Vision device is able to automatically obtain an IP address without user action (using DHCP server or automatic local link address). It is however recommended to set a static IP address for both local network card and device whenever possible. In some cases (e.g. when preparing the device for operation in an industrial network) it might be required to access and set/change the device's network configuration for a proper static IP address. Most suitable for this purpose will be a software and a documentation provided by the device manufacturer. When these are not available Adaptive Vision Studio offers universal configuration tools available from the GigE Vision Device Manager (see: Device Manager section).
Network video stream is divided into packets of a specified size. The packet size is limited by the Ethernet standard but some network cards support an extension called jumbo packet that increases allowed packet size. Because a connection is more efficient when the packet size is bigger, the application will attempt to negotiate biggest possible network packet size for current connection, taking advantage of enabled jumbo packets.
It is possible to connect multiple GigEVision cameras to a single computer and to perform image processing based on multiple video streams (e.g. observing objects from multiple sides), however it can introduce multiple technical challenges that must be considered.
In such configuration it is required for the computer hardware to handle concurrent gigabit streams at once. Even when separate network cards are able to receive the network streams there still may be problems for the computer hardware to transfer data from the network adapters to the system memory. Attention must be paid when choosing hardware for such applications. When given requirements are not met the system may observe excessive packets loss leading to the video stream frames loss.
Although diagnostic tools will report network throughput utilization to be well below system limits it is still possible for short burst transfers to temporary exceed the system limits resulting in packets drop. To overcome such problems it is required to not only ensure camera framerates to be below proper limit, but also to limit the maximum network transfer speed of the device network adapters. Refer to the device documentation for details about how to limit the network transfer speed in specific device. Usually this can be achieved by decreasing value of parameters such as DeviceLinkThroughputLimit or StreamBytesPerSecond (in bytes per second), or by introducing delays in between the network packets by increasing parameters such as PacketDelay, InterPacketDelay or GevSCPD (measured in internal device timer ticks - must be calculated individually for device using device timer frequency).
Special care must be taken to assure that all the cameras connected to the switch (when all transmitting at once) do not exceed transfer limits of the connection between the switch and the computer, both average transfer (by limiting the framerate) as well as temporary burst transfer (by limiting network transfer speed). Network switch will attempt to handle burst transfers by storing the packets in its internal buffer and transmitting packets stored in the buffer after the burst, but when the amount of data in burst transfer exceeds the buffer size the network packets will be dropped. Thus it is required for the switch buffer to be large enough to store all camera frames captured at once, or to limit transmission speed for the switch buffer to not overflow.
It is important to note that the maximum performance of the multi-camera system with shared network switch is limited by the throughput of the link between the switch and the computer, and usually it will not be possible to achieve the maximum framerate and/or resolution of the cameras.
All above recommendations must be considered for such configuration. Because under synchronous triggering all the cameras will always be transferring images at the same time the problem of momentary burst transfer is especially present. Care must be taken to limit the maximum network transmission speed in the cameras to the system limits and to give enough time between trigger events for the cameras to finish the transfer.

LETTER: Straightening out the Water District
I wish to thank Sen. Marc Pacheco and Rep. Patricia Haddad for holding the public forum on July 18 and listening to our angerand frustration over Water District taxes we feel should not have been assessed.
The article in the paper on July 19 states that the Dighton selectmen added the provisions that increased the boundaries of the Dighton Water District from 500 feet to 1,000 feet and finally to 2,000 feet from a hydrant. This is not so. The selectmen had nothing to do with it. The previous District Commissioners made these rulings.
We now have a Commissioner who has read the District Charter, and has jumped into this problem with both feet. Mr. Patrick Menges said he would do his best to straighten this mess out if he became a commissioner. We voted him in and he is trying to keep his word. I fully believe that he will do the right thing. We just need to give him a little time. He will not leave any stone unturned until he is finished.
I have thanked him in person but feel the need to thank him publicly. Thank you, Mr. Menges, for doing what you believe is right.
I would also like to thank Paul Joly and Sue Medeiros, as I have spoken to both with my concerns on this matter. Both were very professional and courteous toward me at all times.
In regards to the comments made by Mr. Glenn Jefferson: With no disrespect to you, Mr. Jefferson, I understand where you are coming from in your thoughts on the water district. But put yourself in my situation. I believe you would be doing the same as I am, fighting for what I believe is right. You said at one point, who is going to pay for the water used in case of a fire at someone's home outside the district. I pay fire protection in my property taxes. I don't think the fire department cares where the water comes from.
In some situations on my end of Elm Street, the water may come from Somerset, depending on the size of the fire and the ease of getting to the nearest hydrant. I have no problem if the Water District wishes to have the fire chief estimate the amount of water used and bill either my insurance company, or me, a fair amount.
I cannot see property owners outside the district paying anywhere from $200 to $700-plus per year just to say I have water reserved for a fire. As for the town taking over the district, there is somewhere between a $7 and $8 million dollar debt that the town would have to assume. I did not create this debt, the Water District did when they built the treatment plan.
According to the Charter of 1950, anyone outside the Water District did not have a vote. At some point it was decided that everyone can vote. From what I've been hearing and reading, I might have been right. Ifyou are not in the district, you do not have a vote. (In the past year, the people beyond 2,000 feet that were put out of the district no longer had a vote.)
A lot has to be done to straighten this mess out. Again, I would like to thank Patrick Menges for taking on this task.

Born 27 May 1948, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, Copland was a part of the vibrant music scene in Philadelphia as a saxophonist before going to New York where he met John Abercrombie and also played with Chico Hamilton, and others. He experimented with the electric alto but gradually became dissatisfied with the direction his music was taking and, leaving New York, quit playing the sax in order to study piano.

Jean Carne (b. March 15, 1947) is an American jazz and soul singer known for her unique vocalising and her impressive interpretative and improvisational skills. Early in her career, her name was spelled as Jean Carn.
Carne was born Sarah Jean Perkins in Columbus, Georgia and was raised in Atlanta. Her talent as a singer became evident from an early age and was encouraged by her parents. Carne's singing ability was so striking that at the age of four she became a member of her church choir. Carne went on to learn to play the piano, the clarinet and the bassoon, mastering all three.

Laurent De Wilde, the Mid-Atlantic piano player of the year, is a graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure. This school and a few others like it are called Les Grandes Ecoles and they are comparable to the Ivy League. They produce the elite in this country. And so it seemed appropriate to ask De Wilde: "What's a nice guy like you doing in a métier like this?" He replied with a very American have-a-nice-day croon: "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

He studied piano and music theory in his own country, but in the 1960s came to the US to study at the Berklee College of Music.


Frankly, your only real choice is between an outboard engine and no power at all. And for a sailboat auxiliary, the outboard engine is not an efficient motor. Its main advantage is that it can easily be removed and taken to the dealer when it needs servicing. Just as well, as the average outboard is a pesky beast, and seems to require constant attention. It is also easier to get at the propeller to unfoul a tangle of line than it is with an inboard motor. And there is less danger of explosion than with an inboard gasoline engine.
There are a couple of points I'd like to make before discussing shaft length, HP, propellers, brands, etc.
If you are going to be sailing in any sort of wind or seaway, disconnect the hose at the tank. Otherwise, gas will leak out when the boat is heeled When the hose is connected to the tank it depresses a small valve on the tank in order to allow air to enter. Unfortunately, it also a allows gas to leak out!
Never store your motor with the lower unit higher than the top unit, as cooling water can drain into the cylinders. Also, we are advised that motors are best stored in a cold place during the winter. Seems that many dealers spray your motor with a very fine film of oil to prevent rusting. If you store your motor in a hot place this light film drains off; and you loose this protection.
If you leave your outboard on the transom bracket during the summer, theft becomes a problem. I know, it happened to me! At best, all you can do Is discourage the would be theft. Nothing is foolproof, other than removing it and locking it in one of the sail lockers. There are, however, several things you can try. First, chain your motor to the boat with the heaviest chain and the largest padlock you can find. This in itself is a problem, because I have not yet found a way to chain it to the bracket that permits raising the bracket without disconnecting the chain. You could weld a ring to the bracket and fasten your chain to that. Secondly, re-paint your motor in non-standard colors. The best job is one that makes your motor look about 20 years old. Failing that, try purple - or some other bizarre color.
has a large, slow turning propeller. However, our Owner's Manual advises that the large blade fouls the rudder. At any rate, the British Seagull is reputed to be difficult to start; and their small, self contained fuel tank must be difficult to refill underway.
We are left, then, with one of the popular American (or Canadian), under 10 HP motors. The choice is not great. OMC (Johnson and Evinrude), Mercury, and Chrysler. Plus an odd assortment of dubious value.
The final choice is a matter of personal preference, of course. But the following table may help you make that choice. Prices given are list price on last year's models, so they are probably all a little higher now. With a bit of work, you should be able to get up to a 20% discount on list.
OK - what horsepower? One thing I do know, a 91/2 OMC with the stock propeller will push a Tanzer 22 through the water faster than the 6 HP. Hull speed is a function of the waterline; and is 1.34 x square root of the waterline length, in knots. In our case, that works out to about 6 knots, or nearly 7 MPH. So, no matter how much power we provide, the hull will not go much faster than this through the water. All we can hope to do is get the boat up to hull speed, with enough power left over to overcome wind resistance. Present indications are that this cannot be done with the OMC 6 HP, regardless of which propeller you use.
Speaking of propellers, you should not use a bronze one. 1) It is too heavy for the light weight motor. 2) It will bend - not break - if hit, and throw your motor out of balance, creating a chance of serious motor damage.
The stock propeller supplied with the OMC is designed to propel a lightweight boat through the water at planing speeds. This, by the way, IS the only propeller made by OMC for their 6 HP motor. If you want another one, you'll have to get it from the Michigan Wheel Corp. in Grand Rapids. There seems to be no appreciable difference in speed through the water between the stock propeller (2 x 8" x 7/14) and the no. 424 Michigan (3 x 8" x 4/14). However, with the stock prop., your motor will run much slower than it was designed to. Maximum horsepower is developed around 4500rpm; and you will need the 3 blade model to reach this. We have had two 6 HP Evinrude motors tank tested with the no.424 prop. Under static conditions one motor reached 4100rpm; and the other 4400rpm. On the boat one can expect to get another 200rpm. So, though the motor may not give much more in the way of boat speed, it does allow the motor to run at its correct rpm range. It will therefore be easier on the motor. The Michigan Wheel Corp. will also change the pitch for an additional (unknown) charge.
The OMC motors have always been popular with sailboat owners because of their light weight. If, however, you can accept the relatively heavy (71 lb) Mercury 7.5 HP as your auxiliary, I suspect that it will provide all the power you need. In fact, the Merc 4 will just about hold its own with an OMC 6. The Mercury has a always had a good reputation for good gas economy - an added bonus. The 7.5 Mercury is reported to produce more power than any other motor in its class.
The only other motor that seems interesting is the Chrysler 9.9 Autoelectric. This motor is the only one under 10 HP I know of that can be equipped with a generator - plus, of course, the electric start. If you have been caught out at night with a dead battery and no running lights, then you know how useful it would be to be able to recharge your battery away from shore power. Because of its battery, which should be located near the motor, it would seem that this engine is more suited to the cruising sailor. The racing skipper may very well shudder at the excess weight! This motor is available with the longer shaft (about $30 more), and Chrysler have several different propellers available.
An 8000 lb 29 footer, powered with the Chrysler 9.9 will out perform a Tanzer with the 8 HP Chrysler. This 29' boat was using the optional 2 blade heavy duty sailboat prop. If we take the power to weight ratio, the 3000 lb Tanzer should be more than able to hold its own with an 8000 lb boat - especially when one considers that the 29's top speed under power was only 6 knots, well below its maximum hull speed.
I am forced to conclude that if one wishes to reach maximum speed under power, something bigger than a 6 HP is needed. Part of-the problem, I'm sure, is that a motor mounted on a transom bracket is not going to give you the best results. Whether it is because the prop. is not deep enough in the water, or is operating in disturbed water, or is located too far aft, I don't know. Probably a combination of all three. So, until something better is available (wankel, maybe?), we're forced to choose between a light weight unit which is adequate under most conditions, and a heavy, more expensive motor with the reserve power that is needed upon occasion.
will contain errant flames while you panic. On the bottom side of the tray may be glued some rubber strips - which will prevent the arrangement from sliding around under any conditions short of a knockdown. On the headliner over the stove, an asbestos mat fastened with velcro (not so irrevocable as glue) will give fire and excessive heat protection. Keep a pan on the burner when lighting, to control the flare up.
Several publications are a must if you plan on doing any cruising on the east coast. For $2 get the Boating Almanac, Vol.I; Mass. Maine, New Hampshire. For $3 get the Waterway Guide, Northern edition. (Ed. note: see also other article on Maine).
The Almanac lists all the launching facilities, ramps, etc., for the area. We used the ramp at the Riverside Anchorage, Glenhaven Circle on the Saco River. They have about 9' of water at high tide - none at low. However, since the 1972 edition a new ramp has been built on the south side of the Saco River, somewhat downstream; and it's supposed to have enough water to be used at all times. It looks first class. Riverside charges $1 for use of the ramp; but you're on your own as far as launching is concerned.
I must admit that anchored amongst the other boats ours looked pretty good!
Saco Bay offers good sailing. It is protected by Ram and Eagle Islands at the southern end; and by Bluff and Stratton at the North. This is the home of Old Orchard Beach, a busy resort area known to generations of Montrealers. If you want to anchor and row ashore, don't forget the ten foot tide. To be on the safe side, anchor in something over 15'at high tide.
Avoid Prout's Neck Yacht Club. The clubhouse is most attractive, and the members are friendly; but their moorings are unprotected. The guest mooring is halfway across the Atlantic. We spent a rough night there, enveloped in fog - we couldn't even see the Yacht Club. By the way, they charge $3.50 a night!
Eastward around Cape Elizabeth and Portland Head - into Casco Bay. Up Hussey Sound to Falmouth Foreside. Here you will find Handy Boat Service, the Maine Tanzer 22 dealer. There are good moorings, though somewhat exposed; and a launch service. One toot of you horn brings the launch out to ferry you ashore. It is a well equipped marina - you can buy almost anything there; and there is a good restaurant. If you prefer to anchor out, the northeast Bay of Great Diamond Island offers a sheltered anchorage.
If you have only one day to visit Casco Bay, spend that day at Jewel island - an old World War 11 Coast Artillery station. The observation towers still stand, and your kids will love exploring. Anchor in the cove at the western tip and walk across the island to the Punch-bowl - a natural swimming spot warmed by the sun a low tide.
I was not too impressed with Bailey Island, though Mackeral Cove is well sheltered.
Quahog Bay offers a lovely, protected anchorage. Except for the tide, it could be a Laurentian lake.
South Freeport is my favorite spot in Casco Bay. The Marina there has a mobile lift, and it was here that I had my boat lifted onto my trailer. $29l Gerry Baker at the Harraseeket Marine Service is the man to see. It is a well equipped marina, and just beside it is another marina. Between the two you should be able to get just-about anything. According to the Boating Almanac, they have a ramp there; but I don't remember seeing it.
Next summer we plan to cruise further eastward. I'll report back to you about this time next year.
Woolsey Vinelast is recommended by Club veterans as the best for Lake St. Louis.
Wet sand with no. 240 wet/dry sandpaper, leaving only the anti-fouling paint which clings firmly to the hull. If most of the hull is bare after sanding, apply one thin coat, followed by a second regular application. Apply using brush strokes parallel with the sheer, working horizontally around the hull from boot top to keel.
The Manufacturer informs us that one quart is sufficient.
The beauty of Maine lies in its 5,000 miles of coast line, its rocky shores, its numerous islands and harbors, and its usually steady but gently winds.
The hazards are lobster buoys, fog, rocks and tides.
The lobster buoys are both a help and a danger. They are helpful in that one usually finds them fairly near shore - say within a mile. They are seldom in water shallower than 4-6 feet, and they show the direction of the tidal current. They are a menace because one's propeller can easily become wrapped with the line which connects the lobster pot on the bottom with the buoy on the surface. Where the tidal rise is considerable there may be two buoys for a single pot so that there is a connecting line between the two buoys. At high tide one of these will be deceitfully below the surface; and when the tide is low, one may be fooled into thinking that the second buoy is attached to a separate pot.
The old fashioned, full keel, conformation of a sailboat bottom is unlikely to ensnarl a lobster pot, because the propeller is nestled between the aft end of the keel and the rudder, so that the line misses the turning blade. Fin keels and spade rudders don't protect the propeller.
Another kind of snarl occurs through a change in wind direction while one is at anchor. This time your anchor line may become snarled. We have been cruising the Maine coast since 1928, and there has never been a summer when we failed at least once to find a lobster pot fouled with our anchor line. We see at least one modern sailboat in every harbor which has got its propeller fouled.
60 degrees or less, so a skin diver's suit is advantageous. You also need a skin diver's sharp knife. Don't cut the line unless absolutely necessary, unless you want an accurately aimed bullet through your hull (or head) from a justly angry lobsterman. Lobster thieves are a distressing modern trend along the coast.
One nice thing about fog in Maine is that most shorelines are steep, so you can usually see the land (rocks) before you hit. The trick of fog navigation is accurate knowledge of where you are when the fog sets in, and of the direction you are going, the distance, and the set of tidal current. It is ESSENTIAL to have a properly adjusted compass, a deadly accurate distance log and a horn - not only for other boats to hear, but to get echoes from steep shores. The "Whistlern radar is very useful, and cheaper than ordinary radar sets.
It is never foggy when the wind blows from the NW; and It is seldom, if ever, significantly foggy when the wind is SW. There is always mist, and often fog, when there is an eastwind. It is important to listen to regular weather reports - and to accept some harbour-bound pea soup days.
Charts showing the direction of tidal currents in Maine are not really adequate. Generally, the flood goes east, and the ebb goes west. The further east you go, the greater the rise and fall - and speed - of the tides.
Blanchard's Cruising Guide is almost a necessity. The Eldridge Tide and Pilot book is entirely adequate, easy to read, and full of useful information such as radio beacons, etc. while Blanchard's sometimes suggests the current direction, you more often than not must guess its direction from lobster and navigational buoys and from the configuration of the land. In addition to these publications, compass, distance measuring log you need to have a depth sounder - or lead line. A radio direction finder is highly desirable.

If you take your boat to Lake Ontario, the first problem you encounter will be finding someone to lift your boat off the trailer, or finding a ramp with enough water, if you trail the fin keel model. It seems that most yacht clubs bring in a mobile crane once a year to launch all their bigger boats. After that you are on your own - which can be expensive when it means getting the use of one of those cranes at so much per hour!
The public ramp at Port Hope had 5' of water this summer ('72). The fin keel model needs exactly 5' on the regular trailer sold by Tanzer Industries. Therefore, you can launch there, despite what the local experts will tell you. If you have a good long line on the trailer, and let it roll well into the lake.
Just around the corner from this ramp is the Port Hope Yacht Club - friendly very small, limited facilities. An overhead railway passes nearby; and just to the west some factory hisses. A noisy overnight berth.
Go down the lake about 6 miles to Cobourg. Here, the harbor is sheltered quiet and looked after by the Sea Cadets at the Skeena Marina (as is the ramp in Port Hope). Water and gas are available, but little else. Cobourg is a delightful town, and the natives are friendly.
From Cobourg, your next stop eastward could be the marina at Brighton; but the Trenton Yacht Club on Baker Island in the Bay of auinte seems a better choice. Going through the Murray Canal is pleasant; the swing bridges operate until 8 PM and will open for you.
From Trenton, east down the Bay of auinte is great sailing - except for the Ywick Bridge at Belleville, which opens only every half hour. There is a good marina at Deseronto.
Picton, at the head of Long Reach has a most hospitable Yacht Club close to the town. It also seems to be the favorite town watering spot and cars and people come and go all night long. It is somewhat noisy.
Eastward from Picton, down Adolphus Reach, to Kingston, where the Kingston Yacht Club lives. It is very friendly and mooring is free the first night - $1 a night after that. It's a good hike into town, but the Centennial Marina is in the center of town for those not prepared to walk. We spent three days at the Kingston Yacht Club waiting out Hurricane Agnes, and enjoyed every minute of it.
The 1000 Islands will be covered by someone else; but if you like watching ships go by, spend a night at Stovin Island, near Brockville. Moor on the south side - two locations are available. The Seaway channel is very close on the other side of this small island. You can almost reach out and touch the boats as they pass. Great fun for the kids. And parents, too!

On yesterday the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway took place in the Kansas City area with a beautiful home valued at approximately $425,000 as the grand prize. Hermes Landscaping was so thrilled to be the professionals who actually did the landscaping for the property, as the giveaway was a fundraiser to help the kids of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. When planning this project, we thought about all four seasons. For the summer, the home's landscape features gorgeous blooming roses, purple salvia and even yellow day lilies. In autumn, there will be purple ash and the evergreen shrubs are perfect for winter.
The home, located in Creekmoor, a Cooper Community, in Raymore, Missouri, was built by Summit Custom Homes.
Though the free tours for the home are over, if you would like to see a virtual tour of the home, just visit StJude.org. Contact Hermes Landscaping to design and plant your home's dream lawn!

Climate Change Stole the Show at the Golden Globes
Filed to:Golden Globes
The Golden Globes are usually all about who wore what and who did or didn't get snubbed. Or so it seems. I never watch it. Ha! Perhaps I should've this year because something else was front and center: climate change and the Australian bush fires.
A few celebrities used their time on stage—whether it was accepting an award or giving one—to highlight the climate crisis, particularly the way it's currently manifesting in the form of flames in Australia. And they didn't stop there, laying out what we must do to address it. After all, the climate crisis is already here for those who have lived through such terrifying fires. And that includes even famous people.
There was actor Russell Crowe who couldn't be in California to receive his Golden Globe for his role in The Loudest Voice, a drama focusing on former Fox News CEO and alleged sexual harasser Roger Ailes (oh, and Ailes is also a huge purveyor of climate denial), as he dealt with the tragic bushfires in Australia, where he lives. Instead, actress Jennifer Anniston gave a speech in his place:
"Make no mistake. The tragedy unfolding in Australia is climate change-based. We need to act based on science, move our global workforce to renewable energy, and respect our planet for the unique and amazing place it is. That way, we all have a future."
He wasn't the only Australian resident who shared a message on the climate crisis, either. Actress Cate Blanchett, whose role in the mystery movie Where'd You Go, Bernadette landed her a Globe nomination, used her time on stage to also discuss the deadly fires in her home country and thank the volunteer firefighters who are putting their lives at risk to combat the flames.
There Is No Safe Global Warming
Safety is something we all crave. It's human nature.
"I wanted to do a special call-out to the volunteer firefighters who have been at the center of battling the climate disaster that is facing Australia," she said. "And of course, when one country faces a climate disaster, we all face a climate disaster. So we're in it together."
Indeed, we are. However, my favorite words were from actor Joaquin Phoenix, who left with a Golden Globe for his role in Joker. Say what you will of the film, but Phoenix's speech didn't hold back. And celebrities with their mansions, bougie ass outfits, and luxurious lifestyles are in many ways fueling the climate crisis. Phoenix got into all that, calling on the rich and famous to do better.
"It's really nice that so many people have come up and sent their well wishes to Australia, but we have to do more than that," he said. "It's such a beautiful gesture. Together, hopefully, we can be unified and actually make some changes. It's great to vote, but sometimes we have to take that responsibility on ourselves and make changes and sacrifices in our own lives. I hope that we can do that. We don't have to take private jets to Palm Springs for the awards sometimes or back."
Agreed! Private jets emit up to 40 times more carbon pollution than their commercial counterparts to say nothing compared to even less carbon-intensive forms of getting around like public transit. Given rich people's outsize carbon footprints, it's just one area they could cut back.
Speaking of, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association also served a vegan, plant-based meal—a chilled beet soup and wild mushroom risotto—which was a first for any awards show. I applaud the Golden Globes for highlighting the 7.1 gigatons of carbon a year are released each year from raising and eating livestock. But this is as good a time as any to remind you all that though individual actions—even those taken by celebrities—play an important role in addressing the climate crisis, veganism alone won't save us from climate hell. Still! We need systemic changes to our food system (and transit and, well, every system), and the vegan meal is a good reminder of that.
This mushroom risotto looks so damn good.
The rich and famous have a tremendous platform to not only raise awareness on climate but to also take action. Sure, that may involve donating millions of dollars as Leonardo DiCaprio likes to do, but it's also about taking steps to do your part and changing the system at large that encourages this type of wasteful behavior in the first place.
