German authorities knew about the theft of the digital identities of 16 million internet users in December, but kept it quiet as they claim they needed time to make "necessary preparations", it emerged on Wednesday.
Millions of accounts containing passwords and email addresses were hacked by an unknown group, the Federal Office for Online Security (BSI) said on Tuesday.
But BSI President Michael Hange told Bayerischer Rundfunk radio victims were only now being told because authorities had needed time to make preparations.
That included setting up a website where people can check whether their details were among those stolen. The site, which went live on Tuesday, quickly crashed as 300,000 internet users attempted to see if their email addresses were among the ones hacked.
"We needed time to set up a process in line with data protection regulations and we also worked together with a provider," Hange said.
BSI said it had handled around 12. 6 million online queries and informed 884,000 affected users in Germany by Wednesday.
Justice Minister Heiko Maas, who is also responsible for consumer protection, has described the scale of the hack as "incomprehensible."
However he steered clear of laying blame on authorities for not making the hacking public sooner, stating he was "not familiar with such processes."
But he added: "If a tip is received and there is even a small chance that it's to be taken seriously, that must be communicated quickly."
"It's not just a case of computers being infected but about the theft of entire digital identities," Hange told the Tagesspiegel newspaper.
And Interior Minister Thomas de Mazière praised the BSI's "well-prepared operation".
The BSI said the theft had was discovered by criminal investigators but declined to say how or which authority had conducted the probe.

If the site does match the users email address as one of the 16 million stolen, then the BSI said the users computer was likely infected with malicious software.
Half of the accounts ended in .de meaning they were German-based, Tim Griese from Frankfurt-based BSI said on Tuesday.
Affected users are being warned to change all of their associated passwords, including those used to access social networks and for shopping online.
"In principle every form of abuse of data is possible," Thilo Weichert, Schleswig-Holstein state data protection officer, told the Berliner Zeitung. "We need to take this very seriously."

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
Poured in my recently purchased Fox Hole Tavern pint glass. It's a deep gold color, almost orange. A nice white head.
I'm getting nice ripe tropical fruit on the nose along with sweetbreads, like sugar cookies and a touch of pine.
Fruit is subdued on the palate. A shock of piney hops on the front. next we have a great, rounded maltiness that transitions into some more piney, bitter finishing hops.
Very pleased with this effort from Anchor. Refreshing, crisp, but not crazy hoppy.

Very tasty, very unique beer. The nelson sauvin hops were a good choice, really good that they used it for glittering as well as aroma.
Anchor are truly artisans with this offering, pours hazy golden with a nice foamy head, nice spicy notes, good use of balance in the ingredients. I wish they brewed this year-round.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a hand glass.
A: Slightly hazy golden hue. Pours a 2 finger, frothy, white head. Craters slowly and unevenly, leaving a cratered surface and dry residue behind. Pervasive lacing.
S: Soft hop notes, sourdough bread.
T: Crisp hops, strong bitterness, yeast, grapefruit pith, and a little fruit sweetness.
M: Very crisp, a little thick, pungent finish remains on the palate.
D: Sip and savor, especially due to bitter character.
Atmosphere is really nice. Thick, frothy head, and lots of persistent lacing. Nose is piney and doughy. Piney hops with characteristic citrus pith and a bit of a yeasty character balanced with a slight fruity sweet note. Overall, this is a good quaff.

As other reviewers, I like to return to Symphony's flagship restaurant for many years. It's a hidden gem and insiders make it a busy place at any time. I've visited it for lunch on Wednesday, 20/11/13 and had marvellously/delicious lambchops with herbal, buttery potatoes. Fingerlicking good. But please sharpen the steak knives!
So I looked forward to the next day's lunch and ordered fried chicken with salad and french fries twice, one as a take away for my husband. The restaurant was full, so I prepared to wait. I was surprised to get my plate already after 10 minutes. The chicken though was visibly burnt and very dry - don't know how many times re-heated in the microwave! The french fries were cool and unappetising too.
After complaining, I only had to pay for the take-away chicken, which looked much better outside and was only a tad red still close to the bone. I wonder if the same cook prepared the food on both days as the quality was so far apart. So what shall I say? The praised consistency from other reviewers is definitely not there any longer, but I still hope that measures are taken to rectify such servings. A maitre d' might be needed to check the quality of the food before it's presented to the guests. Service is professional and good as always.
For the time being, I'll avoid this restaurant and see what others in Male can offer.

Cedar Creek Falls Trail is a 4.50 mile out and back trail located near Julian, California that features a waterfall. The trail is rated as moderate and primarily used for hiking. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
NOTE: Following the death of a 16-year-old boy who fell into the swimming hole, this trail has been CLOSED by the U.S. Forest Service. It is to remain closed until April 1, 2012 or until officials settle on a safety management plan.
Drive to Pine Hills Road, which intersects Highway 78 about 1 mile west of Julian, and turn south. After 1.5 miles on Pine Hills Road, bear right on Eagle Peak Road. After 1.4 more miles, veer right again, staying on Eagle Peak Road. Next comes 8.2 miles of progressively poorer dirt road, parts of which become slippery and muddy in wet weather. At the end, you come to the Cedar Creek Falls Trailhead (Adventure Pass (parking permit) required by the US Forest Service on all national forest land.

I've done this hike a few times, long before the "short" route was opened then closed then opened again... Maybe???? Anyway, it was a beautiful hike. Now, it's lost its appeal to the careless who hike to the falls and leave their beer cans and whatever trash they brought with them along the way... Sad to see...

Really nice trail. If you start from the trailhead at through the neighborhood at 15519 Thornbush Rd. Ramona, CA 92065, there is a parking lot, bathrooms, water, trash, and picnic table. The $6 permit from recreation.gov must go a long way! Every 1/4 there are sign posts, and according to them, it's 2.85 miles from parking lot to the waterfall. 5.7 miles round trip. The trail is very well maintained. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the temp was only ~70, so no concern about overheating. It had just rained a bit so the water was flowing at the waterfall! We didn't jump in and I heard the water was freezing from the college kids that had taken a dip. With complete disregard for the signs that say "don't climb the rocks," one guy went up, jumped off a rock and took two 15' pencil dives into the pool at the base of the waterfall. He said as long as you kick your legs out when you hit the water, your butt only hits the ground a little. I'll pass. I'm against hitting bottom when jumping into water. It wasn't very busy the day we went either. We probably saw about 20 people total. Ok for your dog as long as it's not too hot outside. Ours was fine.
As for the permit, about a 1/2 mile before the falls, you cross a firetrail at the bottom of the valley. There was a forestry truck parked there, but I didn't see a ranger nearby. But I bet they often check to see if you bought the permit.

Great hike, and well worth the $6.00 permit. Unlike Kate in the last post, we were met by a Forest Service Ranger while we were actually in the falls area and everyone there needed to produce their permits. Because the trail host's had made us get the permit, we avoided a possible $75.00 fine and worse, the misdemeanor criminal charge that goes with it. DON'T risk it for $6.00.

I hiked this in the late afternoon in November. It took about 1 hour, 45 minutes. Great hike, and wonderful views. If you want to get all the way to the waterfall, you need a permit that costs $6.

WATER! Drinking water that is. This trail is so easy going down, that you forget you have to climb back out. But coming out, you need a lot of drinking water. The Trail hosts warned us they didn't think our group had enough with us, but we knew better. Well, we were wrong. Three of the four in our group ran out. Thank heavens they have drinking water available by hose spout by the outhouse. The permit to hike is easy to get in advance at www.recreation.gov , and make sure you get it, or you will be buying it over the phone and delaying your hike by 15-20 minutes, as we saw another group having to do. We heard the hosts telling them that without the permit, there is a $75.00 fine and a criminal misdemeanor charge on you record. When we got near the falls, there was a Forest Ranger stationed there that day, so DON'T RISK IT, GET THE CHEAP PERMIT! $6.00 covers up to 5 people. ****Oh, and signs are EVERYWHERE posting NO Alcohol, and NO jumping from the cliffs. We found there is a service road at the bottom, so Rangers and Law Enforcement have a relatively easy way to either be there, or just show up. While we were there, TWO walked in to check for violations. And there were only about 15 people there at that time, so they must really be watching this area. The trail is wonderful in and out, and it was really nice to hike a litter free trail. So people, keep packing out what you pack in. We are sorry we missed seeing the waterfall and being able to swim in the pool, but the pool is low and green, and the waterfall is DRY. We will be back sometime to see that with water running.

A lot of fun! It's just short of 6 miles round trip and we did it a few days ago when it was cool so it worked out great even though the water wasn't flowing. It's easy to get to but you go through Ramona not Julian like others have suggested. Don't forget the permit; $6 for the both of us through recreation.gov. I could see if it were a hot day you would need a lot of water because it's uphill...gradually...but still uphill the whole way back. The trail is well groomed/marked so no issues there. Hope this helps!

Awesome waterfall, best in the spring and early summer. You can climb up the left side off the waterfall and jump into the water.

Fun hike down with great scenery! Approximately 1200 ft elevation gain on the way out. Ensure plenty of water. They do check for permits, so ensure you purchase yours at recreation.gov.

Fun on the way down. Towards the end of the hike is when it become difficult to ride due to the amount of rocks along the path. Wasn't too bad riding back up the trail. Little to no shade along the trail so be careful when hiking in the summer.

This Is The Most Shocking Part Of Bernanke's Case For Quantitative Easing
Submitted by legalizeliberty on Thu, 11/04/2010 - 14:39http://www.businessinsider.com/bernanke-quantitative-easing-...
What's amazing about the latest bout of quantitative easing is the total lack of pretense. By that we mean Bernanke isn't even pretending that that QE would actually benefit the real economy.
We noted yesterday that buy concentrating buying at the short end of the yield curve, Bernanke was punishing savers (pinning short-term rates to the mat) and bailing out banks (keeping the yield curve steep).
But check out this line from his op-ed in the WaPo yesterday:
This approach eased financial conditions in the past and, so far, looks to be effective again. Stock prices rose and long-term interest rates fell when investors began to anticipate the most recent action.
Amazing. Bernanke's evidence of success is the market pump-up. There's not necessarily anything real behind it (though the economy is improving, at least against expectations), but Bernanke's just happy to see the market rise.

March 29, 1996
By: Dr. Jack Down, Ph.D. and President of Citizens Against Repressive Zoning (CARZ) and Contributing columnist
The Greens are organized! Look how they combined to beg for funds this year when they discovered they were losing financial ground. The U.N. is organized! Look at the enthusiasm rounded up to celebrate its 50th anniversary. And in spite of its inability to do much of anything right, the federal government has a certain amount of organization, especially when it protects various agencies backsides, and as these agencies protect each other.
In contrast, personal and property rights people are NOT organized—-and worse, seem to fight organizing. There are hundreds—yes, thousands—of such groups fighting the good fight. There is one that is watching the Adirondacks. Another is concerned with the unconstitutional taking of property to create biking trails from old railroads.
Yet some miss the point entirely.
One wrote to me that he would never consider helping any agency that wanted to protect junk cars sitting in a yard. But even a junk car has been found in a federal court to be protected by the Constitution. How does one define junk? And on and on.
There are a thousand points of light lighting a thousand little niches but, unfortunately, this is self-defeating. We need a huge light: a bolt of lightning! Is there a big picture to unite all these groups?
Yes, there is, and the other evening the Mid-Michigan Libertarian Party meeting heard what it is from Shelly Waxman of South Haven. Shelly is an attorney who has made a career and reputation defending people who found their constitutional rights abrogated. He knows his subject and believes what he says.
He said (and I paraphrase). We are inundated with Befuddle speak, psycho babble and political correctness by our media. It is difficult to see the big picture. Libertarians' (and I add, property rights groups') outlook is too narrow. We all see ourselves as intellectuals and spend endless hours on the smallest details when we should be focusing on Freedom and its opposite, slavery.
There are many kinds of slavery. There is slavery of the mind that is fed by the mass media and also grows in little minds with attention only on the self. Then there is the slavery of economics fed to us by our governments, who prevent us from acting for our own needs through
excessive rules and regulations, controls and confiscatory taxation.
There is even benevolent slavery where the whip is made of easy living and silk and increasing control, and these all mean that the real whips and chains are still to come.
He asked if the crowd could fathom the symptoms of this slavery and went on to outline some: excessive taxation for starters; largest per capita prison population in the world and getting worse; voluminous laws and regulations making citizens into criminals; unnecessary governmental layers; a growing national police force arming small town police departments with armored personnel carriers, heavier guns and sophisticated criminal investigative processes. These, he said, all point to the slavery that is coming.
This all hypnotizes us and keeps us from seeing that big picture; thatour disquiet and discomfort is all about one thing: FREEDOM! Did you see the movie "Braveheart.' Perhaps it was corny, but Mel Gibson great cry as he died, FREEEEEDOM should ring in our ears.
It, Waxman said, is the only thing worth fighting for. Somebody pays for every law. Everylaw is a restriction of Freedom. Laws should not be passed wholesale as they are now. They are not "packages". Laws should only be passed for a limited period of time and the major job of our legislators should be the repeal of laws, aportion of their job totally ignored presently. Most of our laws should not be simplified, but should be obliterated.
It is not a matter of reform; it is a matter of repeal.
And, what do we do? We inform our legislators. We push them. We join together and get our story straight and unified, all aimed at the simple truth of Freedom is not a myriad of petty causes. We join together and put the fear of God into those bureaucrats who would be
the whip-master.
We join and support every group that can help accomplish this. We support those who fight for the Second Amendment. He specifically suggested we buy guns and register them so "they will know we have them. " We fight and if necessary go to jail so we can fight further. We support the jury system and take our seat on it whenever we can, remembering that law nullification is a legitimate function of every jury. Nullify all unreasonable and unreasoning laws.
We clog the legal system until "they" have no time for two-bit actions. We stop following the Establishment press and find those that are honest and willing to fight for our freedom. We support each other, and we do this in unification, not as a thousand groups groping our way.
These are lessons the fragmented property and personal rights groups would do well to follow. Thank you, Shelly Waxman, for saying it so clearly.
SHELLY'S COMMENT: Oppression (tyranny) is accomplished through laws. We have reached a critical mass because of the volume of laws we have. There is no check on the passage of laws. It is what legislators do. It is their living. That is why I have concluded that a REPEAL movement must be started in order to prevent further bloodshed. It is something on which all libertarian groups can FOCUS.
It can and should be started locally at the municipal and township level. You just cannot believe how many stupid laws there are in your local ordinance books. Laws should only be passed for an emergency and for a stated period of time. What should be getting just ONE ordinance or law repealed is a MAJOR accomplishment. Try it. Once the legislators repeal just one and get applause from the masses, they may try it again and again and again. Hopefully!

I don't see how adding more reserves to the banking
system, which is already flush with reserves is going to make banks use these reserves to create more checking account balances to loan out. The fed is in a trap because buying federal debt to add reserves drives down interest rates (or keeps them from increasing) and low interest rates discourage banks and everyone else from lending. Add in the fear factor and we will march down the contraction spiral.
The banks already have tightened lending standards and it is only the government that is now doing the borrowing.
But if the Republicans are really serious about stopping QE and stopping the runaway government, all they need do is refuse to increase the debt limit and this would force sharp cutbacks in spending. The federal government would not be able to legally increase debt, so they would be forced to cut spending to match revenues. They would not necessarily default on existing debt because they could be able to refinance existing debt, so long as the total debt outstanding did not increase.
I think you will find that the Republicans are like the Wizard of Oz, all smoke and mirrors, and have no intention of reining in the federal government. When they vote to increase the debt limit you will have all the evidence you need to know that they are just as much scam artists as are the Democrats.
Remember Richard Nixon's old saying about looking at what he did, not listening to what he said, and apply that next January 3 when the new Congress is sworn in.
"Bend over and grab your ankles" should be etched in stone at the entrance to every government building and every government office.

It's called the "greater fool" scam
They're trying to create a stock market bubble so they can dump their T-bills on the newly bubblized stock market "rich" suckers. If the fundamentals say only fools are buying now, then what they need is some greater fools in the future. So they're attempting to manipulate the market to trick people into being those greater fools. This will be the greatest pump and dump in the history of the world. Bigger than the last pump and dump, i.e. mortgage backed securities.
With commodity prices rising at a faster rate than equity prices the banksters (and their bitches: politicians) will soon be complaining about shortages and hoarding. They're punishing savers within the system now. When the system starts to fail more, they'll blame savers outside the system. Hence the 2nd Amendment.

Pathfinder International recognises the importance of engaging with the wider community, including opening dialogues with religious leaders from different faiths as well as Hinduism. Encouraging them to advocate projects in their communities, such as Prachar which focuses on girls' reproductive health and empowerment in Haryana, they have found a shift in negative perceptions and reductions in early marriages and pregnancies.

Mobiles to Give Reproductive Health Info to Young People
Yesterday, at the International Conference on Family Planning, which is being held in Addis Ababa from 12-15 November, Pathfinder International's technical advisor Cllie Simon said young people themselves helped identify the major barriers they face in accessing contraception. The organisation then designed two distinct mCeans! messages: one for those who are parenting and one for those who are not. Simon said: "We did it with the youth, by the youth, and for the youth."

As youth are more interconnected than ever, it is easy for them to pass on information to each other. Pathfinder is one organization now focusing on a digital strategy, and its new text messaging service was also discussed at the conference today.
Using Mobile Phones to Give Young People Full Access, Full Choice
Pathfinder International, for example, has taken advantage of the mobile phones' popularity in Mozambique to reach out to young people. The organisation has introduced mCenas!, which means mobile scenes, the country's first-ever youth-centric text messaging campaign. It delivers information and stories about sex and contraception to young people at the touch of a button.

The Dukuza Clinic: Providing Care for Young Mothers in South Africa
Here, a staff of only three nurses deliver babies, provide AIDS testing and counseling, educate patients about family planning, and care for TB, diabetic, epileptic, and trauma patients, among a long list of other tasks. Dukuza serves between 100 and 200 patients each day, and with the current AIDS epidemic, pressure on the clinic to serve more patients grows.
After Women Deliver: Ensuring Evidence-Based Investments in Sexual and Reproductive Health
When Just Saying "No" Is Not Enough
Investments in family planning—whether at home or abroad—just make sense. Women who have access to a full range of effective contraceptive methods and reproductive health services are better able to protect themselves against HIV, more likely to get further education, and better able to earn a good living to support themselves and their families.
Pathfinder's Purnima Mane on Family Planning, Saving Lives, and Social Media
"Our main agenda item (at Women Deliver) is to focus on the countries in which we work. To ensure that the unmet need for family planning is something that's being addressed and learning how we can partner with others working in the same area. And also making sure we're highlighting young people." -Purnima Mane
Women: Producers, Not Just Reproducers
Pathfinder's President Purnima Mane said while better maternal health is a moral and ethical goal in its own right, a stronger economic argument will perhaps bring more pressure to bear on governments, donors, and the private sector to follow through on their commitments. She cited Pathfinder's SCIP project in Mozambique as an example of a cross-sectoral intervention that combines health, environment, and economic development efforts and improves accountability through close interaction with community and government leadership.

The room was big and nice comfortable bed. Nice little chicken could have used a bigger fridge but it would have taken up to much space bathroom was nice and clean.
After reading some really bad reviews of this place, I called to get more information. The Prospector only manages 30 owner condos out of the 330 units overall. The condo was very nice and we liked the location.
Location, outdoor hot tub, comfortable bed, room decor
Nice enough place- clean and comfortable. Television, air con/heating, balcony, nice area. A bit pricey, but I was booked there during Sundance.
I like Park City and the deal for the night was a good one.
We had a large comfortable room with a kitchenette, a deck and beautiful view out our sliding door. There was a gas fireplace burning in the corner when we moved into the room. We stayed for New Years Eve and would like to return to the Prospector and stay longer.
we enjoyed the whole stay. would stay again, bus was nice didn't have to find parking. staff was so nice and helpful.
We enjoyed privacy we wanted. Close to stores, mountains, enjoyed quaking aspens back of the room we stayed. A cool weather and clean town. Many good shops. Park city is our favorite place to stay and visit my children living in SLC.

Saudi Oger readying $7.2 billion projects
sweimeh (Jordan), May 16, 2009
Saudi Arabian construction company Saudi Oger said on Saturday it had $7.2 billion in building contracts under execution and planned to expand into Bahrain and Oman to diversify its revenues.
Ali Kholaghassi, vice-president of privately-held Oger, told Reuters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Jordan, that investors and homebuyers were still in 'sit and wait' mode, although banks had started to resume lending.
Confidence would return once wealth funds and private equity come back to the market, said Kholaghassi, who is banking on new business resulting from Gulf government plans to keep public spending expansionary during the downturn.
'Today it's a question of how desperate a person wants to sell and how eager a person wants to buy,' Kholaghassi said in an interview.
'Is it the bottom?... You have a few days of green and then decline, so there is much confidence building needed.'
Oger, a diversified holding group with operations in telecommunications, utilities and real estate, is controlled by the family of late Lebanese prime minister Rafik al-Hariri.
The company has about Dh12 billion ($3.27 billion) of projects under execution in the United Arab Emirates, $1.3 billion in Jordan and SR10 billion ($2.67 billion) in top global oil exporter Saudi Arabia, he said.
'We are working to expand into Bahrain and Oman in the next 18 to 24 months,' Kholaghassi said, shrugging off a downturn in real estate markets that has hit the Gulf, particularly Dubai.
Oger stands to benefit from a Saudi pledge late last year to invest $400 billion over the next five years to build infrastructure in the world's top oil exporter.
Saudi Arabia, facing a budget deficit this year after oil prices slumped off record peaks last summer, is tapping into massive reserves to keep its economy moving during a global recession.
'We are looking at transportation projects, two airports and we are building universities,' Kholaghassi said.
Saraya IPO
Kholaghassi, who is also chief executive of Saraya Holding, added that the Jordanian-based company was holding off on plans to sell shares to the public and list on the Nasdaq Dubai stock exchange until market conditions improved.
Saraya would later seek to raise cash through a private placement or tap debt markets, he said.
'There has been a drop in sales in residential (units) and it does have an impact on our financial requirements,' Kholaghassi said.
Deutsche Bank had been advising on the deal, although it had yet to value the company.
Kholaghassi said less than half of Saraya's $250 million fund launched last year with Arab Bank had been invested and the firm had no immediate plans to set up a new fund.-Reuters

Storrs, CT (Sports Network) - Stefanie Dolson's 23 points led the way as No. 3 Connecticut blasted DePaul, 91-44, on Sunday.
Bria Hartley totaled 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists for the Huskies (22-1, 9-1 Big East), who held the opposition to 26.2 percent shooting in the rout.
Megan Rogowski had 12 points, while both Megan Podkowa and Jasmine Penny totaled eight points each for the Blue Demons (17-7, 6-4), who had won four of their last five but were hampered by arriving at Gampel Pavilion just over an hour before tip-off.
The game, which took place less than 24 hours after a blizzard slammed into New England with anywhere between one and three feet of snow, belonged to the hosts from the outset. UConn raced out to a 15-3 advantage in the first five minutes and never came close to trailing.
It was 52-27 at the break, and the Huskies reached a game-high lead of 47 points with 8:26 remaining on a Moriah Jefferson triple for an 81-34 game.

Sail-World.com : New Zealand's National Sailing Day - be in it!
New Zealand's National Sailing Day - be in it!
'Howick Sailing Club in action' .
New Zealand yacht clubs and their sailors are getting ready - or some are - for the first ever National Sailing and Boating Day. On 16th February, there will be a grand push to entice more people onto the water - whether you've any experience or not in the sailing world.
Sponsored by Volvo, large and small yacht clubs are getting involved, encouraging everyone within range to check out their local yacht club. You can be involved by encouraging others to take up the challenge and give sailing a try.
For instance, there's the Motueka Yacht & Cruising Club, and there's no-one keener than member Ross Loveridge: 'We often think, 'Wow! We're having so much fun doing this - why aren't other people?' he told Yahoo Sport.
The club is situated on the doorstep to Abel Tasman National Park, and Ross says the setting for cruising is among the best - yet many locals haven't experienced it.
'We've fun a few things over the years to get people involved and enjoying it too, but without a lot of uptake. With the impetus of Yachting New Zealand behind it, maybe we'll drive the idea home a bit more,' he says.
He says the club has a very social atmosphere, with less emphasis on competitive sailing.
'We're a small club, and our sailing times are dictated by the tides. But it's a great club, and it would be great if more people knew about what we did,' he says.
Meanwhile, further North, Howick Sailing Club has been through a quiet patch in terms of members, and hope to use the day to draw more people through their doors.
'It's little steps at the moment - but having these kinds of days are really important. We're a small club with limited personnel, and we're just trying to make the day a fun event,' says Sheryl Lane of Howick Sailing Club.
She says the more support for open days like this, the better.
'We've been much bigger in previous years, but it's just been a bit of a quiet time. The concept of boat ownership and maintenance has changed, and we have to change with it.,' she says.
She says the main thing is letting people find out for themselves if they want to be a part of it.
At Evans Bay Yacht and Motor Club in Wellington, plans are underway to provide the general public with every opportunity to find something in their club that suits them.
Sailing coordinator Steve Hold says Evans Bay is the only yacht club in Wellington to provide either a dinghy, trailer sailor, or keel boat division.
'This enables the public to pick a division that suits their aspiration' he says.
He says the introduction of this event to Yachting New Zealand's calendar is a big step forward.
'It will ensure members of the public, no matter their situation, will get a chance to sail on a yacht. This may be the catalyst to start their sailing journey via local yacht clubs,' he says.
By having information on courses available, and members on hand to create a welcoming atmosphere, Steve hopes the public will also make the most of the day.
Opportunities for non-sailors are also important to promote, as he says there are always administration or support roles needed.
The key is now to keep spreading the word, and for people to find out what their local yacht clubs are doing for the day.
With the knowledge that curious sailing folk across the country are doing the same, hopefully the unique sport and lifestyle will be that much more accessible.
So if you know fellow New Zealanders who haven't sailed, but might enjoy it, encourage them to get along to their local yacht club on February 16.

Bad Karma as roving American cruising sailor fined in New Zealand

Eversheds, a firm which promotes itself as a great place to work, has made its Nottingham-based legal systems team redundant.
Of the nine lawyers and staff, three were given statutory redundancy, three took voluntary redundancy and three resigned.
An Eversheds insider said: "How can you reconcile the firm's vision and values with only offering statutory redundancy after eight years at the firm?"Eversheds managing partner David Gray has stated it is the firm's vision to be a "great place to work" and has instituted a vigorous system of values, including a claim that "we will take care of each other and we will treat everyone with respect, fairness and courtesy".
The redundancies are a result of the departure of the group's only Nottingham partner, Paul Llewellyn, to Reed Smith's Coventry office earlier this month.
Eversheds says it hopes to keep the team's clients, which include Boots, Halfords, Nottingham City Council, Royal Mail and 3M.
Claims management head Brendan Padfield said the Nottingham group brought in £1.9m at its peak, but recently this had fallen.
Padfield said: "Paul's departure caused us to review this unit. It is not a decision that's been taken lightly at all, but it was an inescapable decision." He denied there was a conflict, saying: "We're still committed to having a great place to work." He added that the team had declined offers of relocation.
The legal systems group has 545 people in Ipswich, Cardiff and Newcastle. The group carries out bulk litigation, recovery and debt work for corporate clients.
