Stirling Castle - Douglas Garden - FURTHER INFORMATION
Stirling Castle - Douglas Garden - Stirling visitor guide showing a virtual tour of 'Stirling Castle - Douglas Garden' linked to an interactive map with local and travel information. 360° panoramas from Stirlingshire.
Douglas Garden lies behind the Chapel Royal next to the Inner Close of Stirling Castle. It is a small, peaceful garden surrounded by high walls. The garden is named after William Douglas, the 8th Earl of Douglas.
William Douglas was murdered by James II here on 21 February 1452. James II had raided the Douglas lands while the latter was on a pilgrimage to Rome. James II later extended in invitation to William to visit him in Stirling under conduct of safe passage. There he demanded that William terminate his league with Alexander Lindsay, the 'Tiger' earl of Crawford. William refused and James then killed him with his own hands. Aided by his courtiers, he threw William Douglas out of a window into the gardens below.

Tool list
Good flash light
Something soft to plug toilet hole, I use half of a nerf football
Small instrument screwdriver -- flat blade
Flexible reach and grab
Small mirror on stick
Allen wrench 5/32"
Needle nose pliers
Disposable gloves
Dow Corning 111 silicon grease or other good silicon grease
Lime-a-way or CLR or plain vinegar
Disposable sponge or cloth for cleaning
INSTRUCTIONS Without pulling unit off floor
1. Remove lid that will expose inner works.
2. Look to see if yours has an on/off switch or wires only that feed 12VDC to unit.
3. Look on right side of toilet (facing unit) and you will be able to see flapper crank, clevis assy and timing cam.
4. Once you have these items identified you can start.
5. Before adjusting anything, I highly recommend that you make sure your seal adapter, flapper , flapper sealing surface (black rubber seal) is free of calcium/lime build up. You can use any number of calcium/lime removers, CLR, Lime-a-way, or plain vinegar. Actuate the flush handle, kill power with flapper in the open position. With the flapper in the fully opened position, you can put on your rubber gloves and be able to clean the seal adapter, of any build up. (this is the surface that the black rubber seal mates to , it's called the seal adapter in your book, and is glued to the porcelain) Put your cleaner on a sponge or cloth rub around on the lip of hopper, let it set and work, if needed. You may have to do this several time, specially if it's been a while since it's been done or you have been in an area with "hard" water. This area is often neglected as most people clean the toilet bowl and flapper face then flush, which leaves the seal adapter to build up calcium/lime. Once you have this completed, feel of the hopper seal, it should be smooth with the seal ridge running completely around the face. You can use your flashlight and mirror to inspect the seal, but feeling of it works best. It it's not smooth, or you can feel a crack, this could be your problem,
Now that you have checked and cleaned the mating surfaces, lubricate the black seal with Dow corning 111 silicon grease or any other good silicon grease. Turn your toilet back on, and fill with water. Is it still leaking?
If it's just dripping I would give it a day or two and see if it quits. If it's trickling let's adjust.
6. Actuate the flush handle, watch the timing cam move. When it gets approximately ½ way around kill the power by either pulling the 12VDC feed or turning off the switch. This will take the tension off the flapper and spring that is located inside the clevis assy. You may have to do this several times before you can get it to stop I a good spot. Now you can plug the open hole with something soft and round, (remember the nerf football), to keep stink in tank and not in nose. I try to do this with my black water empty, it makes it easier to hear if the toilet is still dripping, after adjustment, plus it helps with the smell.
7. Take a small instrument screwdriver and remove the retaining ring from the clevis pin. This "E" ring is stainless steel, so when you drop it yo will have to fish it out with a reach and grab, you will need a mirror to find it. Anything you drop won't go anywhere except around the base of the toilet because the floor is sealed off.
8. Remove clevis pin, use needle nose pliers, as need be. It will just slip out because you have removed the tension.
9. Look down on the end of the clevis assy between the 2 yoke halfs and there will be a socket headed shoulder bolt. Insert the 5/32" allen wrench and turn clockwise to increase spring tension. Don't turn more than ½ turn at a time because too much tension and the spring will bottom out, resulting in a broken timing cam, once you flush the unit. The factory says don't tighten up more than 3 complete turns.
10. Put clevis pin back in, but leave retaining "E" ring off and run the toilet through a couple of cycles to achieve proper water level. Let set for a while to see if you have gained ground. Listen for drips, you may have a slight drip but not a trickle. If it's a drip, it may seal off in a couple of days. If the H2O still trickles out remove the pin again and repeat step 6 & 8, making another adjustment on the shoulder bolt as in step 9. This is why we didn't install the "E" clip back yet.
11. Once you are satisfied that you have the leaking stopped, actuate the flush handle and kill the power just like in step 6, now you can put that devil of a "E" retaining clip back in place. Needle nose pliers work good for this.
12. If you run out of adjustment, and the toilet is still trickling, you will need to order a flapper replacement kit Part 90066-3, ( this kit includes flapper, hopper gasket, and new bolts), by contacting: Microphor at www.microphor.com
Click on rv/bus
Click on micro flush parts online ordering (you can look at the parts without ordering)
Or you can call 800-358-8280 they are very helpful, and will ship to you.
We don't have any association with Microphor, we've just found them very helpful.
13. When or if your mh sits for several months you should put silicon grease on the black ring to help prevent it from drying out. We have found that leaving our flapper in the open position helps reduce problems and extends the seal life. Yes, once again place that half nerf football in the hole to reduce odors.

On July 7, 2014, the first lecture in the Summer Intensive Series was given by Dr. Richard N Zare on the 'Applications of LIF to Chemical Analysis'. The talk started with Jess Matthews, Associate Dean and Director of Stanford Summer Session, giving the students a brief background on the speaker. Richard N. Zare is the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor in Natural Science at Stanford University. He was also named Chair of the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University in 2005. Professor Zare is renowned for his research in the area of laser chemistry, resulting in a greater understanding of chemical reactions at the molecular level.
Dr. Zare started the lecture by describing the first LIF (Laser Induced Fluorescence) experiments, and then proceeded to talk about the laser in more detail. He explained the basics of radiation processes, practically demonstrating the experiments for which the students were keenly waiting for. In his presentation, he connected various aspects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. As the audience comprised of students from different backgrounds and fields, Dr. Zare kept the technical aspects of the experiments short, focusing more on the uses of LIF in chemical analysis through his live demonstrations. The experiments enabled the students to understand the underlying principles of LIF, and see the transition of the applications of LIF from gas to liquids and solids. Dr. Zare also addressed some of the current challenges related to the world's energy supply, fossil fuels and global warming explaining his views on it.
All in all, it was quite an interesting lecture for everyone, and definitely a food for thought for many students studying chemistry, and those considering a research in this field.

Help! I'm making a graduation cap and I froze candy melts for the top flat part of the cap. Came out perfect but I needed to cut to size and it cracked! Is there a way to fix this b/c I'm covering with a thin layer of fondant. I don't want to start over if I don't have to.
Nevermind guys. Looks like I fixed the problem. I melted more chocolate and brushed it on where it was cracked and "glued" it back together. Popped it in the freezer again for a couple of minutes. Worked like a charm. Whew!
For future refference, you need to cut the chocolate before it's completely hard.
or maybe invest in some square shaped chocolate molds. You can melt the candy melts and just pour them in until hardened. pop them out and youve got your square.
A heated knife blade will allow you to cut chocolate as well, but don't do it when it's totally frozen. Let it warm back up, and you can cut it that way.

#1: so what do you do during the day after you've fixed your hair
I work an odd job and am on call a lot. So after I fix my hair in the morning I can easily get bored waiting on a call and go lay down and watch tv. laying down makes my hair look terrible, when you guys fix your hair and then mess it up, do you just spray with water to get it going again?


text: I had to say I was so proud of my husband yesterday. He so wanted to have Kona's ears cropped. The vet said he would do it. My husband wanted a look but after reading many of the comments on this board, talking to other owners, etc. he came to the conclusion that at 5 months she is in a time when she shouldn't go through any stressful events and said he realized that the cartilege is probably formed. I thought this was going to be a losing battle for me to keep Kona the same way she is, but yesterday Carl came through. I gave him a kiss and told him I was proud that he was leaving Kona the way she is and not doing something to boost his ego. As Carl said, he couldn't bear to see his girl in pain just for him. He is a softy when it comes to animals, and his soft side came through.

VILLAGERS near Burnley have more than one reason to be cheerful for the forthcoming bank holiday.
Not only is the Cliviger Music Festival returning to the Mount Lane field, offering two days of music and merriment.
But there is also another outing for real ale lovers as a beer festival takes over Ninos at the Fighting Cocks, in Red Lees Road, over the bank holiday weekend.
Joanne Doherty, one of the music festival organisers, said: "Due to the success of last year's event there will be lots to entertain over the two days including a local DJ, several live bands,singers and, back by popular demand, 'Elvis'."
The Elvis in question will be Burnley's own Jared Warne, who has won international honours with his portrayal of The King.
Jared will be appearing on stage on Sunday, alongside Madom Red, Kayleigh Bannatyne and Steeros.
Before the line-up on Sunday there will also be a 'Picnic and Praise' event, held in conjunction with local churches, which starts at 11am.
Meanwhile more than 20 real ales, artisan lagers and ciders have been lined up for Nino's big bash, which is being held over four days, from Friday to Monday.
An outdoor marquee and live music are also planned, alongside same tantalising fare, with admission £3 with a programme.

Mick McCarthy apologises to Wolves fans after 5-1 defeat to West Brom
Mick McCarthy apologised to Wolves' fans after their team lost 5-1 to West Brom â but insisted he remains the right man for the job.
Wolves dropped into the Premier Leagueâs bottom three on goal difference after Peter Odemwingie hit the second hat-trick of his career for the Baggies at Molineux.
A section of Wolves fans vented their anger at the directorsâ box towards the end of the game and a couple of hundred protested afterwards by the Billy Wright statue.
Boss McCarthy said: âIt was one of the most disappointing afternoons of my career. I apologise for the performance and Iâve never done that before. The way we capitulated in the last half-hour is not associated with my teams.â
When asked if he was still the right man to lead Wolves, he added: âI always feel Iâm the right person to do it. Iâve not got a message for the fans. Iâve apologised. That is all I can do. Thatâs how badly I feel about it.â
He received support from Baggies boss Roy Hodgson, who said: âI think Wolves will stay up if they keep their heads because they have an outstanding manager and an outstanding owner [Steve Morgan].
âI feel sympathy and empathy for Mick. I think heâs done an excellent job. People should be careful what they wish for.â
Jonas Olsson and Keith Andrews added to Odemwingieâs treble after Steven Fletcher had pulled Wolves level just before half-time.

A guide to Mouth Ulcers
Most of us get mouth ulcers from time to time. They are those painful sores that can appear on the inside of the cheeks, lips and gums that look a little bit like blisters or heat lumps. They are often also called cankers.
No-one is 100% sure what causes mouth ulcers. What we are all agreed on is that they can be very painful. The inside of the mouth is one of the most sensitive and tender areas of the body. Mouth ulcers constantly seem to catch on our teeth, become inflamed when we eat and irritated when we drink. They often appear in clusters too, which makes things even worse.
For some people – perhaps as many as one in five of us – mouth ulcers are not just a one-off that causes us discomfort every now and again. They are a constant worry and a chronic, recurring problem. For chronic sufferers, mouth ulcers return on a regular basis, stay for longer and can often be much larger than usual. The worse cases can involve people having more than ten ulcers in their mouth at a time.
Sounds nasty, doesn't it? Well, it most certainly is. For chronic sufferers of mouth ulcers, life can become difficult during an attack. It can become very difficult to eat, drink and talk. It makes every day a torment and a trial, whether you are trying to talk to business contact on the phone or eat a pizza in a restaurant. It can make people depressed, anti-social and irritable.
There is no medical consensus on what causes mouth ulcers. However, most doctors agree that they are not contagious. The most likely is that they are an allergic reaction or that it is our auto-immune system over-reacting. On other occasions, they can simply be caused by damage to the inside of the mouth. As it is so tender, even brushing too hard may be enough to harm the cheek or gums.
As there is no real understanding of what causes mouth ulcers, as you can expect, there is no defined approach about how to treat them. Ultimately, however, you just have to tough it out. If ulcers are very painful, most people will try gargling with soluble aspirin or rinsing your mouth with iced water. You should also try to avoid eating anything which might unnecessarily inflame your ulcers – hot, spicy foods and hot drinks will probably fall into this category for most of us.
There are also a number of over-the-counter treatments for mouth ulcers. While there are different brand names, the majority take the same approach which is a gel containing analgesic. You may have to try a few until you find a brand that works for you.
If treating them is not a great success, how about preventing them. Is there anything that you can do to prevent mouth ulcers? Most doctors will recommend eating a healthy diet that gives your body an abundance of vitamins and minerals. This will usually include lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Taking vitamin supplements may also help while some sufferers recommend natural live yoghurts and pro-biotic products.
You must also make sure that you maintain a good oral hygiene and health programme. For a start, you must make sure that you are not using any products that irritate your mouth. Use a softer toothbrush and try and find a toothpaste that is less abrasive. Similarly, you may find that an alcohol-free mouthwash is the best choice (or no mouthwash at all). Make sure that you visit your dentist regularly, so that you dentist can help to remove plaque and debris from your teeth. This will stop the build-up of bacteria that can damage your gums.
Finally, if you do suffer from mouth ulcers on a regular basis, it is important that you consult your doctor rather than suffering in silence. There are a number of conditions of which mouth ulcers can be a symptom. These include immuno-deficiency diseases and mouth cancers, so you should always seek a professional opinion and advice from your doctor or your dentist.

Hockey East Votes to Accept UConn
by Mike McMahon/Staff Writer
Hockey East members voted on Wednesday to formally accept Connecticut as the league's 12th member, according to multiple sources.
According to sources, the league will formally invite the Huskies to join the conference, at which point it's expected that UConn will swiftly accept the invitation. A formal announcement could come as soon as Friday, however, is likely to occur next week.
UConn will become the league's 12th member, with Notre Dame joining the conference beginning with the 2013-14 season. It's unknown, as of now, when UConn will join the league, but sources indicate it could be 2014-15. That would allow more notice to Atlantic Hockey, UConn's current home, and more time for the Huskies to secure a better playing facility.
As CHN first reported, Hockey East officials visited UConn in March. Last month, Hockey East commissioner Joe Bertagna told the Associated Press that expansion plans included UConn.
The Huskies are currently a member of Atlantic Hockey.
The seismic shifts in the college hockey landscape, that created the Big Ten and NCHC as of 2013-14, left Notre Dame looking for a new home. Once Notre Dame settled on Hockey East as the 11th team, it was no secret that Hockey East preferred to add a 12th to go with it, to keep the conference membership at an even number.
Connecticut became the natural choice to join its fellow New England state schools — Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts and Mass.-Lowell. But there have been many questions over UConn's facility, which is a small on-campus arena that is not desirable for Hockey East play.
It is unknown whether that situation has been definitively addressed, but clearly UConn's answers were enough to satisfy Hockey East officials. Playing at the nearby XL Center in Hartford is considered one possibility, in lieu of an upgrade to the on-campus facility.

Sting Performs 'Demolition Man' for David Letterman
Apparently Sting doesn't want his 60th birthday to ever end. Just a couple days after celebrating the milestone — and marking 25 years as a solo artist — with an all-star concert celebration in New York, the former Police frontman turned up on CBS' 'Late Show with David Letterman' Monday to tear through the tune 'Demolition Man.'
Backed by a guitarist, bassist, drummer and lively three-piece horn section, Sting rocked 'Demolition' with a level of funked-up energy not often seen by people half his age. Sting originally wrote the tune for Grace Jones, who recorded it for her 1981 album, 'Nightclubbing.' It then showed up on the Police's 'Ghost in the Machine' later that same year (does that mean he covered his own song?).
Sting's birthday concert at New York's Beacon Theater on Saturday featured a slew of guests, including Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Will.i.am and Rufus Wainwright. Sting himself performed several Police classics, solo songs like 'All This Time,' and an acoustic 'Message in a Bottle,' plus a duet with Springsteen on 'Can't Stand Losing You.'

I have a confession to make: I am picky. Not about everything, but there are some things that I simply need to work for our family, and I won't stop until I've found what will work best. This is the case with finding a playground that Elvie will enjoy, but that I like, too. Obviously, we are not going to the playground so I can play, but I think that, as with many things, where I take my toddler to have fun doesn't have to be completely void of anything enjoyable for me. If I really don't like going, chances are we won't go as often, or if we do go, we won't end up staying long.
What I was looking for in a playground wasn't any big mystery, but it took us awhile to find one that truly worked for both Elvie and me, not to mention her big sister. The funny thing is that I never would have thought the playground that has emerged as a clear favorite for all of us would be the playground. But when I think of what I really like about it, it all makes sense. Here is my list of what I was looking for in a playground, along with photos of Elvie having a ball at our favorite one.
Finding Our Favorite Playground
I may be picky, but we still found "the one."
Easy for Elvie to Navigate
Many playgrounds are simply so large that Elvie will see something she wants to do, but she can't figure out how to get there. Our favorite playground is small – even smaller than I imagined would be good for her.
Easy for Me to Supervise
I love it when a playground is mostly fenced in, and it's fantastic when there are plenty of places that Elvie will enjoy that are easy for me to see and to get to if she needs me. While I will offer her help if she needs it or run to comfort her if she gets hurt, I like to let her explore a little on her own, without me hovering over her and impeding her exploring progress.
Near a Coffee Shop
This serves multiple purposes, not just my need for a delicious beverage to sip while the kids play. A good coffee shop will not only serve up the joe, but there will be snacks for the kids if we stay out longer than anticipated, as well as a bathroom that is nearly always cleaner than the ones at most parks.
Has a Safe Spot to Stow Our Stuff
We've always got a ton of stuff with us, especially if we get snacks beforehand. I like to have a good spot to keep our stuff so I don't have to lug it all over the playground with me, where I know it will be safe and also easily accessible.
Kids of All Ages
Because there's a wide age gap between my girls, it works best if the children who tend to frequent the playground are a wide variety of ages. Then someone is always coming along that can be played with, even if the friends we have just made have to go. Elvie loves seeing babies and toddlers, but she also adores older kids. I've found that she's happiest when there are some of each with her on the playground.
No Sand
Most kids love to play in the sand, and Elvie is no exception; however, she loves to eat it, and I want her to do more than just try to sneak handfuls of sand into her mouth. If we go to a park that does not have sand, she's a lot more likely to play than to try to get herself what she considers to be a tasty treat.
Soft Surfaces in Case of Falls
While I do love a good old school playground with old fashioned equipment, Elvie is a daredevil, and it's more important to me to keep her from visiting the ER than it is for there to be the kind of stuff that parks had when I was a kid. I love the spongy surfaces they use now; I know that my little risk taker will be safer while taking her risks.

NEW YORK ( Real Money) -- A couple times a week, I check my sector scans to get a sense of which are home to the largest number of top-performing stocks. For the past several weeks, the number of companies from the health care sector has far outweighed the runner-up consumer sector.Earlier this week, I wrote about a couple of smaller stocks with charts showing some potential, but the leaders run the gamut when it comes to market cap. One longtime standout that remains a winner is Alexion Pharmaceuticals ( ALXN), which is up 30% so far this year. Between July and March, the stock notched gains every month. It's not surprising to see the shares finally in consolidation mode, having pulled back from their March 23 all-time high of $95.01. This is another example of a recent theme in the market -- that is, winners being rewarded. Alexion only corrected 15% from its high and, as of Thursday's close, after regaining some lost ground, was trading about 2% below its peak. It's currently hovering above its short-term five-day exponential moving average. Thursday's heavy-volume price gains on the major indices were encouraging from a technical standpoint (no comment on the global macro implications) but still not enough to confirm a new uptrend, particularly in an environment where news from Europe can drag stocks back down in a heartbeat. Alexion would be in a buy zone in a confirmed market uptrend. I continue to like the prospects for this stock, but with the whipsaw market action still very much present, the risk profile remains too high for new buys. The maker of treatments for autoimmune disorders and other conditions is expected to report its second quarter in July. Analysts have pegged earnings at $0.37 per share on revenue of $262.05 million, which would mark a gain of 28% on the bottom line and 41% on the top line, for a continuation of the trend of double-digit gains in both categories. Another big-cap leader that has been correcting is Intuitive Surgical ( ISRG), a maker of robotic surgical devices. Here, the 2012 gain is 14%. The stock was climbing at a solid rate in the early months of this year, but corrected 9.5% in May.

Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price has been named chair of the Community Leaders of America, "the national caucus of Republican mayors and city council members," according to a statement released today (Wednesday, Jan. 20), by the CLA.
"Up until just over two years ago there was no national strategy focused on supporting conservatives running for mayor and city council. CLA's commitment to supporting these Republican officeholders and candidates is unrivaled, and I'm proud to continue that record of support in the elections ahead," Price said in the CLA statement. "I look forward to working with my fellow conservative municipal elected officials to take advantage of the opportunities to grow and expand the Republican Mayors and City Council caucus."
Outgoing CLA Chair Richard J. Berry, mayor of Albuquerque, N.M., praised Price as "one of the hardest working mayors I've had the privilege to work with over the years," and said her "focus on the issues has made Fort Worth a national leader when it comes to health, jobs, safety, and community engagement."
Price, a Fort Worth native, was first elected mayor of Cowtown in 2011, just two years after a raid by Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agents and some Fort Worth Police officers on a gay bar called the Rainbow Lounge made international headlines. Although municipal elections in Texas are nonpartisan, Price's status as a Republican was well established — she had served as treasurer of Tarrant County for several years, and those elections are partisan — and the city's LGBT leaders initially worried that she might derail progress toward LGBT equality the city had made since the raid.
But while she hasn't been actively promoting LGBT issues at the city level, Price has pretty much stuck by the promise she made during her first campaign to treat everyone equally and fairly. She has served as grand marshal of the city's annual gay Pride parade, and last fall helped kick off Tarrant County Gay Pride Week, among other things.
"I am the mayor for everybody," Price said at Pride Week festivities.
When I got the email with the statement from the CLA, I decided to check into that organization's mission and goals. After all, Republican organizations overall are not known for being particularly LGBT-friendly. So I sent CLA an email:
"I am editor of Dallas Voice, and I received your email regarding Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price being named chair of your organization. Can you tell me where CLA stands on issues related to LGBT equality? Thank you."
I quickly received this answer:
"Hi Nash – thanks for the note.
The Community Leaders of America (CLA) is the caucus of America's local elected Republican leaders with representatives from every state and from communities of all sizes. CLA was created as a direct response to the lack of a unified national strategy supporting Republicans running for local elected offices.
"Unlike their state and federal counterparts, America's local leaders live and work in the very communities they represent. Their constituents are the families they see in the work place, at the grocery store, or out and about in the community every single day. Choosing to push a problem in need of a solution off to another day, or legislative session, is not an option for these local leaders. They must govern and lead practically, in a principled, efficient, and effective manner. These selfless individuals, and the communities they represent, are the ideas engines that will help propel America down a path where every community has the opportunity to thrive and prosper for generations to come.
"Ben Cannatti
"Political and Communications Director
"Community Leaders of America"
So yeah, I still have no idea what Community Leaders of America thinks about us LGBT folks. But I am going to give Mayor Price the benefit of the doubt on this one. After all, she hasn't done us wrong so far.

I t can be awkward meeting someone new, so I'll try to make this as comfortable as possible. Monday is my first day officially on the job as the editor of The Herald. Most readers, print and online, probably are saying, "What? Who's this guy?"
Well, for the past seven years I've been the editor of the Santa Cruz Sentinel, a sister paper to The Herald. And yes, I'm still the editor at the Sentinel as I take on this assignment.
One question I've been getting is, what about the local Opinion pages?
I have an answer for that. I'm pleased to announce that Shanna McCord is joining The Herald team today as Opinion Page Editor. In her post, Shanna will write editorials and oversee guest editorials, columns, political cartoons and letters to the editor. She'll also serve on The Herald Editorial Board.
McCord, 41, was raised in Salinas and graduated from Notre Dame High School. Her journalism career includes reporting on Monterey County topics at KSBW and KION television stations before arriving in 2004 at the Santa Cruz Sentinel, where she has been a reporter covering a variety of beats.
She has also worked for the San Diego Union Tribune and the North County Times in Escondido.
Her goal is to create a dynamic editorial page that invites rigorous debate on the many issues impacting Monterey County.
Here's what she told me about her new assignment: "I look forward to serving my hometown newspaper. I welcome the community's input and involvement in continuing to make The Herald a place people can turn to for the best in local news."
Shanna can be reached at email@example.com.
So you might ask: What, another Sentinel person? Does that mean the Sentinel is merging with The Herald? Nope. We share a publisher, an ad director and several administrative functions — but our news and advertising staffs remain separate and distinct, and will stay that way.
The Herald will remain a valuable and trusted local newspaper and digital news and information provider put out by a talented and committed staff. It would be foolish to blend two newspapers, in communities that have as many differences as similarities. The result would be a lukewarm, unpalatable and character-less "product" that would please no one.
That isn't to say things aren't changing. They are. The move to digital, whether on a traditional website or mobile devices, continues apace. The name of our parent company, Digital First Media, tells you a lot about our emphasis today, and about where we're headed. We're not ignoring our loyal print audience, of course, but our audience today wants their local news, features and sports up to the minute and in a format they can access wherever and whenever. It's the world we live in today, and newspapers ignore this at their peril. We plan to be around a long time.
So what else is changing at The Herald? You may already know that next month, all the newspapers in our group — including the Sentinel and The Herald — will be put together at a "production hub" in Chico.
This move is happening to increase our operating efficiency, by standardizing many of the things we all do on a daily basis and allowing us to concentrate on providing a more comprehensive and compelling local news report. These changes will allow us to interact more with you, our readers and online viewers — to hear what you have to say and to give you better platforms in which to say it. Video also will be a big part of the dotcom Herald world.
Our goal is to provide you both a snapshot of life in and around the Peninsula and to provide context and analysis of what is happening around the county. Newspapers can remain relevant and vital if they help people sort through the increasing information clutter that seemingly climbs out of smartphones and tablets and threatens to take away any semblance of serenity and understanding. Too much, too often, in too many venues — we need to help cut through all this.
At the same time, we know you depend on us to cover your communities — to be your watchdog on government functions, to celebrate your triumphs and bring meaning to your morning when that's needed. We want to feature fascinating local people and not drone on about another agenda-driven government meeting. Monterey County is a world-class destination, with some of the most beautiful coastal areas on the planet. It's home to rich agricultural lands and a heritage unrivaled in our state.
Food, wine, recreation — these are a part of the story we want to tell.
And we won't back away from taking on tough topics, even when we have to take an unpopular stance.
Reporters have digital tools at their disposal today that allow research-driven, in-depth reporting we couldn't do when I started out in journalism. Any newspaper worth its salt needs to provide this kind of investigative and enterprise reporting — and to present it in modern formats easily accessible to you, the reader.
Some of these changes will happen relatively quickly; others will take some time. We hope you're ready to take this journey with us.
Don Miller can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Former Eternal singer, Louise Redknapp is expecting her second child with husband Jamie Redknapp, after 4-weeks of trying, and is due in November.
"It was just absolute shock when I found out,' she says. 'It took me 4 years to have Charley and so this time, after just a month, it was very unexpected. We had talked about having another baby and we kind of expected the same problems as last time."
Redknapp, 33, underwent laser surgery for endometriosis, before conceiving her now three year old son.
"When I did the pregnancy test, I nearly fell off the chair. The doctors don't know why it has been so much easier this time – it's just the luck of the draw I guess."

When Grammy Awards producers learned of Whitney Houston's death less than 24 hours before the live telecast, they scrapped parts of the script, added performances and puzzled over how best to honour the Grammy-winning singer who died unexpectedly at age 48.
Host LL Cool J said that addressing the Grammy audience at the Staples Center after Houston's death was "definitely the most challenging moment I've faced in my career."
He decided to open with a prayer, and producers agreed, though none could recall another network TV event that began as such.
This and other last-minute changes made to the 54th annual Grammy Awards are chronicled in a new documentary, "A Death in the Family: The Show Must Go On," which premiered on Monday at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
The screening of the 25-minute documentary and 14-minute highlight reel of past Grammy performances was also a not-so-subtle push for Emmy votes.

It was more than 40 years ago that economist Milton Friedman described the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as "pure and unadulterated socialism." He noted that the embrace of CSR by businessmen helped to "strengthen the already prevalent view that the pursuit of profits is wicked and immoral and must be curbed and controlled by external forces. Once this view is adopted, the external forces that curb the market will not be the social consciences, however highly developed, of the pontificating executives; it will be the iron fist of government bureaucrats."
In fact, a new "iron fist" has emerged in the intervening period to "curb the market." It belongs not to bureaucrats but to radical environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs), who have achieved a stunning amount of boardroom influence. They have done this, paradoxically, by learning from Prof. Friedman, and in particular by exploiting what might be called "Milton's loophole."

Kelly Resigns From College Hockey Inc.
CHN Staff Report
Paul Kelly, the one time head of the NHL Players Association, has resigned his post as Executive Director of College Hockey Inc.
College Hockey Inc. was created two years ago by the Hockey Commissioners Association to be the marketing and educational arm of college hockey. The hiring of Kelly made an immediate splash in hockey circles because of his name.
According to USCHO, Kelly was forced to resign by the Hockey Commissioners Association, the group that is ostensibly his boss, because he was reaching out to athletic directors in an attempt to seize more power.
CHN sources said that similar issues have arisen in the past, but didn't rise to this level.
The position was created to assist in marketing, and to educate the masses on the benefits of college hockey. However, the role is limited because the schools and conferences still have authority over most matters, which was a source of frustration for Kelly, sources indicate.
Kelly could not be reached, but in a text message to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, Kelly said., "Time to move on. I told them I'd give them two-three years to get the entity established and operational. It's been 28 months and it's time for a new challenge. Although I did enjoy being of service to the college; great group of coaches, media and other personnel."
The commissioners put out only a brief release.
"The HCA would like to thank Paul for his service to CHI and wish him the best in his future endeavors," HCA President, and ECAC commissioner, Steve Hagwell said in the statement.
However, the statement also said that the commissioners may choose to "chart a different course" for the position. The HCA has not said anything about a replacement, but may hire someone in the interim.
Kelly was head of the NHLPA for two years, even meeting with the Hockey Commissioners on several occasions while in that role. He was ousted by the union's executive board in 2009 in a clandestine vote.
Prior to that, Kelly practiced law in Boston for 25 years, representing a variety of NHL players during that time.

After the 4th shinobi war there was a time for peace but there was a new perspective emerging among the Daimyo. After seeing the likes of Uchiha Madara, Uzumaki naruto, and the Kages in action at full power and the effects of those battles the Daimyo realized that the weapons and tools they had used for decades were beginning to be to powerful to keep under control. While Uzumaki as Hokage lead the villages in a reduction in military power the Daimyo began plotting with each other trying to devise ways to keep the shinobi under their thumb or in the worst case eliminate them.
Weapons developed by the Daimyo's engineers could put more power into the hands of a typical soldier than previously but things were still not ripe for change. The drawdown of forces was good from the perspective of the Daimyo but that didn't stop the fact that there still existed the possibility of individual Shinobi that could devastate armies single handed. The Daimyo made there move as Uzumaki Naruto arguably the most powerful Shinobi alive was reaching his eightieth birthday and was putting decades of knowledge and research to use to use to pacify the tailed beasts once and for all.
The attack came hard and fast with the Daimyo sending out there newly armed rifle troops the all of the major villages. The shinobi caught unaware took heavy casualties and while the troops posed little threat to Uzumaki himself it was wnough for him to lose control of the vast forces he was manipulating and most of Konoha was wiped from the map in an instant. The other villages were forced to disband and flee the Daimyo tha wer continuing to gain power.
For eighty more years the Shinobi waged guerrilla war and infiltrated the normal society and in time their moment came as well as with subtle pushes the populace revolted against the Daimyo overlords in a new revolution. The war with the Daimyo was both good and bad for the shinobi, the were recruited by the revolutionaries and some even decided to fight on the side of the Daimyo with cash being more valuable than the previous enmity. On the positive side the Shinobi were no longer hunted and on the other those in the revolution knew how dangerous they could be and after the hard fight of revolution decided to never bow down again.
The new Society is a unique one. Shinobi clans hold power in all its forms though are carefully watched. There is no longer a formal village system based in a single location instead there are loose and ever shifting alliances of clans. Shinobi work on both sides of the law. Ancient scrolls and artifacts coexist with Skyscrapers and Airplanes.

Having a health condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, or depression used to be a problem if you were shopping for health insurance.
That's all changed with health care reform.
Health insurance companies now can't turn you down or charge you more for health insurance just because you have a medical condition. They also can't make you wait before getting or continuing treatment, and they can't drop your coverage.
These protections all come from the Affordable Care Act.
How do I know if I have a pre-existing condition?
Pre-existing conditions are health problems you already have at the time you apply for health insurance. They can include:
- Life-threatening illnesses such as cancer
- Chronic conditions such as asthma, depression, diabetes, and heart disease
- Short-term things, like back injuries or pregnancy
Will health care reform laws make it easier to include a child with an ongoing health problem on my insurance plan?
Yes. As part of the Affordable Care Act, since September 2010, insurers are no longer allowed to deny health coverage to children younger than 19 because of a pre-existing condition.
Will needing insurance coverage for a pre-existing condition make me have to pay higher premiums?
Starting in 2014, health plans can no longer use pre-existing conditions as a reason to charge you more each month for your premium.
Health plans will be allowed to adjust premiums based only on:
- Whether you have an individual or family plan
- Where you live, since medical costs are higher in some areas than others
- Your age
- Your current and past use of cigarettes or any other tobacco product
What should I consider when shopping for a plan if I have a chronic condition?
- Drugs: Check your plan's drug formulary, a list of prescription medicines a health plan covers, to anticipate your drug costs.
- Self or care management: These programs are covered under plans bought through the Affordable Care Act Marketplaces.
- Doctor visits: Consider how often you'll need to visit the doctor, including any specialists, for your condition. Make sure they are in your network to avoid higher out-of-pocket costs.

All of the deciduous tress that have set their foundation into the lines of our property many moons ago, have once again lost all their leaves in preparation for another winter. The seasonal ritual of changing color, drying up, and falling has finally come to an end, and it makes me a little sad that I am no longer needed outside. My garden is slowly going into hibernation, and I have to force myself to leave the house once and a while, so I will not also fall into the same fate. Last month I purchased a leaf blower to keep up with the autumnal demands. It's another purchase that solidifies my responsibility as a homeowner. I've been trying to come to terms lately with the responsibilities that come along with owning a house. Dealing with my fears of being an adult, and all the things associated with that. Entering this new stage in my life, I feel overjoyed that we have a place to call home, somewhere to make memories, space, a yard etc, but I worry that we will fall into the house 'trap' where all free time and money go directly into it, leaving less time for the things that we enjoy most - travel. Brent and I have talked a lot lately about refocusing our energy and time. Spending less time working on the house, and more time getting out there and doing things. This weekend, instead of spending it renovating the bathroom, we are taking a much needed trip to a spa in the Columbia Valley - Skamania. I have been busy planning a few small trips this winter, and just the process in itself seems to be working at lifting my spirits. I'm trying to do as much as possible to rid myself of this funky feeling I have been experiencing for awhile, and all the small steps are really helping.
Tartine Booke No 3, roasted winter vegetables + chickpeas, and crazy good vegan caesar salad that I need to blog about soon. Some times we just need to distract our minds from those negative thoughts and pour all that energy into something wholesome and good for the soul, which may or may not included a lot of chocolate. It's all about perspective.
serves 4
1 head of cauliflower, chopped into small pieces
1 15 oz can (1 1/2 cups) of chickpeas
10 sage leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tbsp olive oil
4 servings of pasta (2 cups dry)
salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese, grated
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Place the cauliflower and chickpeas on a baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the sage, garlic and oil. Drizzle over the cauliflower and chickpeas and then toss. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, until the chickpeas are slightly crunchy, and cauliflower is soft and golden.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook the pasta until al dente.
In a large bowl, toss the pasta with the vegetables. Add more olive oil if the pasta seems too dry. You want a nice oil sheen. Season with salt and pepper, and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Turnplay brings the nostalgia of vinyl recordings to the iPad
In the past year, we've written about quite a few music apps and streaming services. Most of them have clean, minimal interfaces, both on the desktop and iOS. But what about a music player with a perfectly executed skeuomorphic interface for the audiophile in all of us, which works exactly like a record player should?
Meet Turnplay. This beautiful iPad app is designed to reproduce the experience of listening to vinyl recordings on a high-quality turntable. And beautiful is an understatement. The amount of effort put into this application is simply amazing. I asked Denis Pakhaliuk, CEO of Ramotion, how the app was created:
The turntable was designed to incredibly high standards. Our designers used Technics SL 1200 as a reference and recreated it in 3d, rendered it, used this render as a reference and then recreated all shapes in Photoshop. We took everything we've learned about making GUI interfaces and iOS development and implemented it in TurnPlay.
In my opinion, this is the best skeuomorphic interface for listening to music on the iPad today. From the detailed scratches on each record, to the precise virtual mechanics of the stylus' arm, and to the virtual shelf for selecting your tunes, you can plainly see how dedicated Ramotion is as a design company.
But that's not all. The functionality of the app is quite solid as well. You can add a track from your music library to the turntable queue easily, and navigate through the recordings you've selected on an elegantly rendered wooden shelf. Scrubbing over the currently playing record gives you accurate audio feedback, reflecting on which track you're currently playing. You can also adjust the rotation speed and key, but there isn't a volume slider (you need to use the setting in the multitasking tray or the volume rocker on your iPad for that).
As I said before, Turnplay is quite realistic. There's an on/off switch in the turntable view which actually stops the turntable, and you can't play music unless that switch is in the on position. Small touches like these make the experience lifelike, blurring the gap between physical and digital media. I can almost guarantee that if you give this app to a senior citizen who's unfamiliar with newer music interfaces, but can identify with a vintage record player, there will be little or no explaining needed.
Apart from the interface and functionality, why would you want to use Turnplay as a music player? The answer is simple. It's very authentic. You can hear the crackling noises of the vinyl woven between the melodies of your music, adjust the RPMs, and create all the scrubbing and scratching effects you want, just like the real thing. True audiophiles might say the sound quality isn't as good as a physical record player, but when connected to some good external speakers or headphones, it produces respectable sound.
If you're someone who enjoys a great combination of great design and your favorite music as much as I do, get Turnplay for your iPad. At a great price of $1.99, why pass it up?

Senate Republicans have a choice today: they can stand up for working families during the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression, or they can cut the safety net out from under millions of Americans in the middle of the holiday season. These benefits don't just help individual workers and their families, they are also one of the most effective ways to keep our economy growing. With polls showing that Americans overwhelmingly want these benefits extended, Republicans are on the wrong side of both the policy and public opinion. It's time for Republicans to stop playing politics and start standing up for hard-working Americans.
In 2010, Unemployment Benefits Contributed $68 Billion To The U.S. Economy. In this year alone, close to 9.5 million workers have collected unemployment benefits from the federal government. Data analyzed by The National Employment Law Project and the Department of Labor demonstrate that these benefits have contributed an estimated $68 billion back into the U.S. economy. [The National Employment Law Project: Briefing Paper – Out Cold for the Holidays, 10/27/10]
Every Dollar Spent On Benefits Increases GDP By $1.60. Unemployment benefits are effective tools for economic growth. In a November report, the Joint Economic Committee cites an estimate by the President's Council of Economic Advisers that every dollar spent on these benefits increases the gross domestic product by $1.60. [U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee, November 2010]
Senate Republican Whip Says Unemployment Benefits Are "A Disincentive" For Those Who "Seek New Work." Senator Jon Kyl said on the Senate floor that unemployment insurance "doesn't create new jobs. In fact, if anything, continuing to pay people unemployment compensation is a disincentive for them to seek new work…I'm sure most of them would like work and probably have tried to seek it, but you can't argue that it's a job enhancer. If anything, as I said, it's a disincentive." [Congressional Record, 3/1/10]
Republican Senator Believes Congress Should Have Cut Off Unemployment Benefits In May. Appearing on CNBC in May 2010, Senator Gregg was asked when the government should end unemployment claims. Gregg responded "Yeah, right now…it's important to do that up to a certain level, but at some point you've got to acknowledge that we're not Europe." [CNBC, 5/24/10]
Voters Believe Benefits Should Continue Until Unemployment Rate Decreases. 67 percent of voters think the federal government should continue to provide benefits until the unemployment rate comes down substantially. [Hart Research National Survey on Unemployment Benefits, November 2010]
Strong Support For Continuing Unemployment Benefits. 60 percent of voters believe that Congress should continue the current program of federal unemployment benefits for workers who have exhausted their state unemployment benefits but still cannot find a job. [Hart Research National Survey on Unemployment Benefits, November 2010]
Extending Benefits Through 2011 Creates Jobs At Lower Cost Than Bush Tax Cuts for Upper-Income Americans. "Spending $65 billion on unemployment insurance extensions will increase GDP by an estimated $104.7 billion, which is roughly 0.7% of our $14.7 trillion GDP. This increase in GDP translates into 488,000 payroll jobs." Whereas "extending [the Bush tax cuts] for the next 10 years would add about $3.8 trillion to a growing national debt that is already the largest since World War II. About $700 billion of that reflects the projected costs of tax cuts for those in the top 2 percent of income-earners." [New York Times, 8/10/10; Economic Policy Institute: A Good Deal for All, 11/4/10]

This handful of cover tunes offers more hits than misses.
Corinne Bailey Rae
The Love EP
US: 25 Jan 2011
UK: 14 Feb 2011
Corinne Bailey Rae's "Love EP" is exactly what the title suggests: a short, five-track collection of love songs. There are cover versions of Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover", Bob Marley's "Is This Love", Tanya Donnelly's "Low Red Moon" and Paul McCartney's "My Love". However, the standout of the record is easily the final cut, a thirteen-minute live version of "Que Sera Sera" which features a soulful duet with John McCallum. The song starts slow, builds to a rousing climax, then fades away to a four-minute coda at the end. It's a lovely rendition, and the singers' voices intertwine beautifully.
Elsewhere, results are mixed. Prince's tune kicks off the set and is heavy on the synths, blotting out Rae's fine but delicate voice. "Low Red Moon" is unexpectedly rocking, with blasts of fuzzy guitar; again, Rae gets a little lost, but the song is undeniably catchy. The other songs are softer—"Is This Love" might be too soft—and bring the vocals right up front in the mix. If nothing else, Rae is to be commended for branching out and trying new styles, but it's that final song that really makes this record worthwhile.

And if I am correct, the stack temp is usually lower than the stove top temp meaning that my stack temp probobly is about 50 to 100 degrees lower. This is more than enough to warm my 1800 SF home. I would be really curious to see what your stove top temp is. The magnetic thermometers are about $10.

My gf's parents have an old (and cold) cottage with a large iron fireplace (grate?) in the living room which seems to cost them a fortune to run over the winter but they have no other heating source in that room. Anyway, my plan is to make them a heat exchanger / manifold to sit under the coals connected to a blower of some description to make the most of it but I worry the temps could melt the stainless steel tubing I plan to use and start spitting out molten metal!
Am I worrying over nothing?

KarenHansen's Review
This is the best mussel dish I have ever had and all of my guests agree. However, it is VERY time consuming to make. The glazed Celery root and braised onions required a lot of prep, just cutting the celery root and peeling the pearl onions is challenging. There is a lot of reduction but this gives the flavor to the base which is more like a seafood stew. I always double the recipe and put half of the glazed celery root with the braised onions in the freezer and for another meal I throw in some shrimp and put it over pasta. If you make this all at once it takes well over 2 hours so usually I make the celery root and braised onion the day before. Then when my guests arrive I basically put everything together, cook the mussels, serve a salad, and have plenty of sour dough bread. It is a delicious and very filling meal.

Gingerbread Cookies
How to Make It
In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat molasses, oil, brown sugar, and egg until well blended.
In a medium bowl, mix 2 3/4 cups flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Stir into molasses mixture, then beat until well blended. Divide dough in half, gather each half into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
Unwrap dough. On a lightly floured surface, with a floured rolling pin, roll one disk at a time to about 1/4 inch thick. With floured 3- to 4-inch cutters, cut out cookies. Place about 1 inch apart on buttered 12- by 15-inch baking sheets. Gather excess dough into a ball, reroll, and cut out remaining cookies.
Bake cookies in a 350° regular or convection oven until edges begin to brown slightly, 8 to 10 minutes; if baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Pipe Powdered Sugar Icing over cookies as desired.
Powdered Sugar Icing: In a bowl, stir 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons water, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Tint to desired color by stirring in food coloring, a drop or two at a time. If icing is too thick to work with, stir in more water, a few drops at a time; if too thin, stir in more powdered sugar. Makes 2/3 cup.

Be careful near the monument — often home to a beehive.
Arroyo Seco Loop off Highway 79
The Canyoneers 1:30 p.m., Sept. 20
Artist Jaimie Warren (New York City) will undertake a month-long residency at Helmuth Projects this August. Jaimie Warren is looking for 40-60 volunteers to commit to a performance-based project for her residency at Helmuth Projects. Warren will direct and orchestrate all volunteers in a sing-along performance that will be filmed and photographed, and be presented in a final exhibition.
Warren is known for constructing elaborate sets to create her ironic and insightful photographs. While in San Diego, Warren will work with volunteers and participants from the public to create a new work that continues her foray into remaking existing art historical images.
Specifically, the artist will reimagine a 15th-century religious painting, replacing angels and saints with important and infamous characters from the life of pop-star Michael Jackson. Warren will draw collaborators from an open, public call for participation and work with them to create the costumes and sets necessary to stage the recreation, which ultimately becomes a photograph and video.
The residency will culminate in a solo exhibition of Warren's work, curated by Alexander Jarman. After being exhibited in a group show at The San Diego Museum of Art in the summer of 2013, Warren worked closely with Jarman and Helmuth Projects' Joshua Pavlick to conceive of a project that would allow her more time and greater exposure in southern California. The result is You Are Not Alone, which will feature a handful of works from throughout Warren's career as well as the debut of the photograph and video that resulted from the residency. Multiple programs, as well as a new publication, will accompany the exhibition.
Exhibition opens Friday, August 29.
1827 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, 92101

Rep. Doug LaMalfa today voted for the House Republican budget plan ("Ryan Budget"), which balances the federal budget within the next ten years. The Ryan budget, H. Con. Res. 25, saves billions by eliminating spending caused by the Obama health care takeover, reducing bureaucracy and protecting defense funding.
"We took action today to move our country toward responsible, long-term budgeting with a plan that actually balances. The Ryan budget rolls back the President's health care takeover, putting health decisions back in the hands of individuals and families," said LaMalfa. "It is simply irresponsible and immoral to continue piling up debt that our children will be forced to pay back, and this budget plan takes the first step to lifting that burden from future generations."
"Despite raising taxes by $1 trillion, the Senate Democrat budget never balances and the President has dismissed the very thought of balancing spending to revenue as ridiculous," added LaMalfa. "I didn't think it was ridiculous when President Clinton worked with a Republican House to balance the budget in the 1990s, and neither do the millions of Americans who've seen their share of the national debt grow by half in just four years."
The House also passed H.R. 933, known as the Continuing Resolution, which funds government operations through the end of the fiscal year while reducing spending by $85 billion dollars and protecting defense funding from automatic cuts.
"The continuing resolution makes smart reductions in spending, prevents new spending for the President's health care takeover, maintains a strong military and ensures the government continues to provide essential services," LaMalfa stated.

Megayacht Industry Grows in China
More builders and brokers are building a presence in the Far East.
April 23, 2011
Five years from now, if you ask me to look back and say when the yachting industry began to make a serious impression on the psyche of China's elite, I might say 2010. Or maybe 2011, just to be safe.
More than 250 members of China's jet set converged recently by private plane and chauffeured BMW on Hainan Island, which hosted the second annual Hainan Rendezvous on the South China Sea. The weekend gave vendors a chance to show China's highest high rollers some of the world's finest fineries, from watches to automobiles to, you guessed it, yachts.
It's an interesting location for the yachting industry to mark a new waypoint. Yes, international-caliber yachts have been built in China for some time now—noteworthy brands with high-quality reputations include Marlow, Kingship, and Cheoy Lee—but the local cruising scene is not nearly as developed as the shipyards. Blame it on the relative lack of marinas, the strict cruising regulations, and the visa requirements that make bringing a foreign crew into the country akin to succeeding in international espionage. And yet, this past weekend saw dealers on Hainan Island's docks with new Sunseeker and Azimut motoryachts in the 40- to 100-foot size range.
An Azimut 43 Flybridge Yacht was the first yacht sold, but, not to be outdone, Sunseeker's representative told The Wall Street Journal that he expected to sell six boats once the weekend's receipts were totaled.
In general, reps spent the weekend offering tours, signing deals, and introducing China's hobnobbers to the concept of cocktail hour on the aft deck.
And megayacht sundecks have begun to make an impression, too.
The largest motoryacht on display was the 213-foot Benetti Ambrosia, brokered by YPI Group—which just announced a partnership with Olivier Besson to create a new division called YPI Asia. Two offices will serve what the brokerage firm sees as Asia's most promising regions: in and around Aberdeen, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen, China.
"I have been in China for over six years working with clients who need and use business jets and yachts," Besson says. "Right now there is a significant and growing demand amongst wealthy Asian people, and in particular Chinese people, to properly enjoy yachting. Over the last few years they have had a glimpse of the benefits owning a superyacht can bring—and they like what they see. A completely new infrastructure is now being constructed throughout China so the country can welcome and accommodate the biggest and best yachts."
It will be interesting to watch not only how China's infrastructure develops to please this new yachting set, but also whether the budding cruising class will affect conditions on the South China Sea itself. While YPI Group is already calling the Hainan Island area "the Chinese Riviera," the South China Sea has long been known as a haven for piracy. Luxury yachts have learned in recent years, while trying to move between the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean Sea by way of eastern Africa, that pirates are just as willing to attack a megayacht as they are to go after a supertanker. (Read "Megayacht Iindustry Concerned About New USCG Piracy Warning")
It's a noteworthy fact that's not to be overlooked, but if more yachts are indeed able get to this new Chinese Riviera (which sounds so darn pleasant, doesn't it?), then China just may become the yachting industry's newest hotspot by 2015. Or maybe 2016, just to be safe.

This is a popular recipe among readers. Denise Young of Brooksville makes this for family gatherings, while Alice Carter of Seminole uses bagged slaw mix, which I did, too. One bag of slaw is approximately 7 1/2 cups. Betty Sileo of Seminole found the recipe on the Top Secret Recipe website (topsecretrecipes.com). Tampa resident Kathleen Kirk has the Top Secret Recipes cookbook, which includes the recipe. Other readers who also shared the recipe are Oldsmar residents Joan Burger and Patricia Lacourse, Pat Koster of Largo, Vera Baker of Sun City Center and Marjorie Dahl of St. Petersburg.
A wire whisk works well for combining the dressing ingredients. It is important to refrigerate this for the recommended time or even overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
