chapter accomplishments
2014 Quarterly Chapter Meetings were held in January and April. The January meeting was focused on Beach Preservation and the April meeting was centered around Rise Above Plastics and Hold On To Your Butt. Both meetings attracted close to 100 attendees.
2014 The chapter held three Core Volunteer Orientations and trained 75 volunteers.
2014 The chapter hosted two Advocacy 101 Trainings and trained 28 activists.
2014 The 14th Annual Art Gala attracted 450 attendees and raised over $32,000 to support the chapter's mission of protecting oceans, waves, and beaches.
2014 The chapter celebrated the 10th Annual International Surfing Day on June 20th in Ocean Beach with a family-friendly event featuring free surfboard lessons, a showcase of local surfboard shapers, and an outdoor screening of the Endless Summer as this year marks the 50th anniversary of the classic film. Twenty people took advantage of the free surfboard lessons and there were over 300 people in attendance during the movie.
2014 From January-June, the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter in partnership with San Diego Coastkeeper held 80 beach cleanups, including both public and private cleanups. During these cleanups, 3,863 volunteers removed 5,671 lbs of trash including 34,398 cigarette butts, 11,240 pieces of styrofoam and 3,073 plastic bags from San Diego County Beaches and surrounding areas.
2014 The annual Morning After Mess beach cleanup series was held on July 5th at the Ocean Beach Pier, Belmont Park, Crystal Pier, and the Oceanside Pier. In three hours, 648 volunteers removed 1,410lbs of trash and 326lbs of recycling including 14,796 cigarette butts, 489 plastic bags and 983 pieces of styrofoam from the beaches and surrounding areas. Here are the links to some media coverage of the event: UT, NBC7, 10News, and the OB Rag.
2014 The chapter's Hold On To Your Butt committee installed 15 ashcans in Mission Hills, Clairemont Mesa (SDG&E), and Oceanside. The committee also replaced 4 existing ashcans in Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, and Hillcrest.
2014 The chapter hosted a free screenings of the award-winning documentary Bag It at Bottlecraft and 50 people attended.
2014 The chapter's Rise Above Plastics committee held their annual Rise Above Plastics Day where 30 volunteers distributed 5000 free reusable bags across four locations in the City of San Diego.
2014 The chapter's Ocean Friendly Gardens committee ran a Hands On Workshop in Carlsbad where 12 people attended and learned about water savings and pollution reduction strategies for our landscapes. This was followed by a Garden Assistance Party where volunteers returned to the site of the Hands On Workshop to transform a traditional landscape into an Ocean Friendly Garden!
2014 The chapter committed to provide in-kind work to participate in a statewide grant to further Direct Potable Reuse and public acceptance of recycled water.
2014 On June 26th the San Diego Regional Board approved a new National Pollution Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the International Boundary Water Commission, South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant for the first time in 18 years. After years of challenges and mishaps the plant is finally in compliance with secondary treatment standards. Obviously, a new updated permit is a win in general, but Surfrider and others requested that additional state-of-the-art monitoring be added to the new permit. The Regional Board agreed due to the unique circumstances surrounding the Tijuana River Watershed, and said it would take two years to develop such a monitoring framework. When the new monitoring is in place, we look forward to the increased information about the near shore environment in this sensitive area.
2014 After three appearances before the California Coastal Commission, the Commission approved an application by the Bannasch Family Trust in Solana Beach to "maintain and expand" their seacaves, but not without significant conditions. Surfrider has been engaged on this issue since the early 2000's with concerns over the use of "erodible concrete" and concerns that the deed restriction prohibiting a seawall for this property was being circumvented by the seacave expansion. While it would have been better for the Coastal Commission to stop this project in its tracks, two conditions were added to this project making it a win for the beach going public. If the "erodible concrete" ever sticks out more than 6 inches from the adjacent bluff, that portion has to be manually removed by the applicant. Furthermore, the applicant has to prove, prior to installation, that the "erodible concrete" will erode at a rate similar to the natural bluff (i.e. within 20%) before the new project can be installed. So if the concrete does not actually erode, it can't be installed. For more information click here and here.
2014 After more than two years of collecting data, the San Diego County Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation published their second annual report on the Surf Monitoring Study. The study was designed to track changes in how five local surf spots responded to the large influx of sand from Regional Beach Sand Project II (RBSP II). For the complete study and more background info click here.
2014 Surfrider has long opposed seawalls because they nearly always lead to the destruction of our public beaches in California. The chapter's Policy Manager and key volunteers led the most recent effort to persuade the California Coastal Commission to ensure that seawalls are periodically reviewed to assess their need and to balance that against their impact to public beaches. This action was necessary because the Commission last year unexpectedly abandoned its previous policy that automatically required seawall permits to expire after 20 years, triggering a review requiring property owners to justify the walls. Surfrider San Diego successfully argued that permits for seawalls should not be allowed to exist in perpetuity without some review of their impact. The Commission decided that seawalls (both new and existing) would be reviewed when homeowners wish to expand their beachfront homes or make significant improvements that expand the life of existing coastal structures. This policy victory occurred in conjunction with the Commission's finalization of the Land Use Plan Amendment for the city of Solana Beach, the lone city in San Diego that has yet to comply with the landmark 1976 Coastal Act by adopting a Local Coastal Plan (LCP). With this decision Solana Beach is one step closer to finally having a LCP. For more background click here.
2014 We can't really call this a victory, but at least we made sure our environmental concerns were heard! After receiving comments from more than 200 San Diego County residents and sharp criticism from at least five environmental groups, the County Water Authority decided on March 27th its staff had drafted a nearly perfect Master Plan and Climate Action Plan. Given the Water Authority's history of ignoring critics, few were surprised. San Diego Surfrider had a moderate request: Do a regional assessment of all local water supply options before locking the region into a pattern and practice that gives priority to high-cost, high-energy desalination, i.e. converting seawater into drinking water. Surfrider also pressed for greater conservation goals. While the region has cut back by 24 percent compared to 2007, Surfrider believes a 35 percent reduction over 20 years is possible. Australia did it in 10 years, why not San Diego? The Water Authority's Climate Action Plan fails to fully account for the impact of greenhouse gases that will be spewed by power plants supporting desalination plants, which need massive amounts of electricity. But don't throw up your hands in frustration. You can help by urging your Mayor to appoint more progressive representatives to the Water Authority.
2014 Surfrider was tracking the initial proposal for desalination rate allocation because of the possible implications on potable reuse, and we issued this press release. On March 27th, by a very slim margin the proposal to assign the desalination costs to the "fixed costs" for water agencies was shot down, and those costs have temporarily been assigned to the "supply rate" where they belong. This issue is not completely over, as this will have to be addressed again when the Fiscal-Year 2016 rates are updated. Hopefully these issues will be addressed in a more comprehensive manner by then.
2014 Surfrider San Diego participated in a very successful Oceans Day 2014 in Sacramento where almost a hundred coastal activists met with elected officials to educate them on the challenges currently facing our coasts.
2013 The Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter and San Diego Coastkeeper held 42 public beach cleanups and 20 private cleanups. During these cleanups, 6,489 volunteers removed 9,544 lbs of trash including 58,236 cigarette butts, 16,158 pieces of styrofoam and 4,418 plastic bags from San Diego County beaches and surrounding areas.
2013 The November Coastal Commission meeting was an important one for us, with several of our priority issues on the agenda. Our efforts helped deter the Commission from making a bad decision regarding the 20-year limit on seawall permits. Instead the Commission continued the items to January of next year so that the larger policy issues can be fully considered, before they make a new precedent.
2013 A reduced size ACOE beach nourishment project for Solana Beach and Encinitas came back to the Coastal Commission for round two. While the project was ultimately approved, Surfrider helped add important conditions to reduce the projects impacts on important surfing resources and marine habitat.
2013 The 4th Annual Tijuana River Action Month drew 2,723 volunteers who collected 51,575 tons of trash and 185 tires, created 2,800 eco-bricks from re-used solids taken from the river, installed 120 native plants and restored 11 acres of the Tijuana River Watershed.
2013 Surfrider Foundation volunteers distributed 600 free reusable bags during Rise Above Plastics Day in Chula Vista and Barrio Logan.
2013 The chapter hosted four free screenings of the award-winning documentary Bag It, co-hosted two screenings of the documentary Plastic Paradise and held screenings of the films Watershed and Shored Up.
2013 The chapter's Hold On To Your Butt committee installed 23 ashcans throughout the communities of Barrio Logan, Downtown, North Park, Oceanside, Mission Hills and Ocean Beach.
2013 During the chapter's annual Hold On To Your Butt Awareness Day in August, volunteers distributed approximately 600 pocket ashtrays.
2013 The Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter and Oceans Friendly Gardens committee received two OBie awards from the Ocean Beach Town Council for volunteer service and being green.
2013 The 14th Annual Art Gala raised over $25,000 to support the chapter's mission of protecting oceans, waves and beaches.
2013 The chapter celebrated the 9th Annual International Surfing Day with a paddle-in movie featuring the classic surf movie Gidget (1959) at the Lafayette Hotel.
2013 The 22nd Annual Paddle for Clean Water drew close to 1000 ocean enthusiasts to paddle around the longest cement pier in North America and raised over $6000 for clean water initiatives in San Diego County.
2013 The chapter held six Core Volunteer Orientations and trained 159 volunteers and 42 volunteers attended Advocacy 101 Trainings.
2013 The Ocean Friendly Gardens committee installed a beautiful new Ocean Friendly Garden in the Sunset Cliffs/Ocean Beach area.
2013 The Solana Beach Land Use Plan (LUP) was finally adopted by the City Council as modified by the Coastal Commission in March 2012, a huge victory for us years in the making! Click here to read more.
2013 When tremendous unintended consequences struck Imperial Beach following the placement of sand from Regional Beach Sand Project II (RBSP II), we were able to use the data from our Surf Monitoring Study to help validate the locals' experience of the negative consequences. We appeared before the Imperial Beach City Council twice with significant activist support. Click here for more.
2013 The chapter helped orchestrate a press conference with the San Diego Mayor and City Council confirming Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) as a policy direction and the City's willingness to provide the necessary leadership.
2013 The IPR demonstration study was accepted as complete by the City Council and they committed to seven next steps for IPR thanks to lobbying by Surfrider and our fellow stakeholders.
2013 Surfrider played a key roll in a very successful Regional Water Quality Control Board hearing regarding the MS4 (stormwater) permit. Surfider had a great presence at the hearing and more than 25 activists gave public comment. After the very long two-day hearing the Regional Board postponed their decision until the May meeting.
2013 Following the very powerful April hearing, the Regional Board unanimously adopted the new MS4 permit without the "safe harbor clause"; a major victory for water quality as the new permit represents a paradigm shift in stormwater management from an action oriented approach to an outcome oriented approach.
2013 Following the LUP adoption in February, the City Council of Solana Beach decided to pursue specific amendments to their LUP to clarify a few key points. Surfrider was able to influence the LUP amendment hearing and successfully combated the Bluff-top-homeowners efforts.
2013 Along with the support of Surfrider Foundation global headquarters and our partners, approximately 300 activists attended the June Regional Water Quality Control Board meeting to combat the latest version of the 241-toll-road proposal and Save Trestles yet again. The TCA was attempting to build the first 5-mile segment of the ill-fated toll road. After hours of public testimony, the Regional Board denied the proposal with a 3-2 vote.
2013 Along with our partners, the chapter was able to help convince the California State Legislature to continue $1 million in annual funding for maintenance of the Goat Canyon Sediment Basins. This funding is critical in addressing the trash and sediment issues on the international border at the most critical input: the end-point of the Tijuana River Watershed. This location supports extraordinary recreational opportunities, outstanding examples of our State's most valued natural resources, such as the Tijuana Estuary and the California State Marine Conservation Area of the Tijuana River Mouth. Without the funding for maintenance the sediment that would have built up would have devastated the watershed, wetlands and water quality.
2013 At the July Coastal Commission meeting we experienced a huge under-dog victory as the Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) beach nourishment project for Encinitas and Solana Beach was voted down by a 8-3 vote. The Coastal Commission sent the ACOE and both cities back to the drawing board demanding a reduced size project to limit the anticipated negative impacts.
2013 We were successfully able to get all three phases of Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) added to the near term goals for San Diego's Long Range Water Master Plan, instead of just the first phase, as was originally proposed.
2013 Our Chapter hosted a Coastal Act training with former Coastal Commissioner Sara Wan, almost 30 activists and government officials now have a better working knowledge of the Coastal Act.
2013 Beach Preservation experts completed our first annual report on our Surf Monitoring Study and continue to work with the Coastal Commission to require this type of monitoring for all future large-scale coastal projects. Click here for more.
2013 The chapter served a 12-month term on the City of San Diego's "Water Policy Implementation Task Force", contributing important recommendations to improve water management in our region and advocating for the benefits of integrated water management.
2012 Beach Cleanups: 4,308 volunteers collected 7,594 lbs of trash.

2012 Our film, The Cycle of Insanity: The Real Story of Water, becomes part of the curriculum in Professional Certificate in Water Management and Landscape Sustainability Online, SDSU.
2012 After a 16 year long campaign to ensure that seawalls along Solana Beach were properly mitigated, the Coastal Commission approved the City of Solana Beach's Land Use Plan that included a 20-year review of seawall permits and also set an 18 month timeline for the City to finalize their study to determine land lease and mitigation fees that ensure the public is properly compensated for the lost of public sandy beach.
2012 Recycled Water Study is completed and accepted by the City of San Diego. This study is a key step in moving toward Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR), and details the costs and benefits of implementing 100 mgd (million gallons a day) of IPR to offload the wastewater being discharged off of Point Loma.
2011 Beach Cleanups: 3,619 volunteers collected 5,474 lbs trash.
2011 Successfully advocated for three Low Impact Development (LID) additions to Point Loma Nazarene University's plans to deal with run-off.

2011 Successfully advocated for the Solana Beach City Council to add language to "keep public land public" to their draft Local Coastal Plan before submission to the California Coastal Commission. This important distinction is crucial in maintaining and protecting public land (i.e. beaches and bluffs).
2011 Successfully advocated for a reduced amount of sand for Regional Beach Sand Project II (RBSP II). The California Coastal Commission also agreed with our suggestion to require surf spot monitoring as part of the Coastal Development Permit (CDP) for RBSPII.

Atmospheric DOUBLE-WHAMMY: fertilizers deplete ozone, add to warming
A new study poses a problem for biofuel proponents and agriculture alike: excessive and careless use of fertilizers has been fingered as the driver of growing atmospheric nitrous oxide concentrations. The study, published in Nature (abstract here), drew on the 40 years of atmospheric samples collected by CSIRO (the Commonwealth …
Oh look, yet another scare story from the CSIRO... *yawn*
I guess they felt in this weeks staff meeting that people weren't sufficiently scared about future droughts and heat waves since we've had one of the coldest and wettest summers on record and this may have had too many people laughing at them.
This goes doubly so over their 2008 predictions of the drought then being the new normal, since then we've had 3 or 4 years of flooding in different parts of Australia.
Mother Nature: <too many to count>
" growing atmospheric nitrous oxide concentrations." At least we'll all go laughing when we go!
It's my anaeshetist's gown.
Would this be the "warming" that stopped happening 10 years ago perhaps?
When Liebor gets punted into the political wilderness next year, the first thing the LNP should do is dismantle the CSIRO, they are clearly now little more than a political propraganda machine these days.
But why stop there?
Once they're done scrapping the CSIRO, move on the the Australian BoM. That could be a warm up for going to war with the following list of science organisations which warn us about AGCC:

Every time I see Dr. McCauley work it is worth fifteen hours of graduate level music class. He has the ability to teach and inspire like no other person. He is an incredibly dynamic teacher and the students got so much out of it."
--Steven Rapp, SHS music teacher commenting on guest conductor funded by SEF grant
"Without the SEF grant supporting the
Quintessence Literary Magazine
at SHS, students would miss out on the opportunity to celebrate each other's work."
mma Cramer, Editor-in-Chief, 12th grade
"The new books SEF funded for our mystery unit are like birthday presents to our readers. There is an energy and excitement when I tell them we have new books for our classroom library."
--Dana Folk, 3rd grade Washington teacher
"Human Rights Day was an eye opening experience and introduced me to real life events as they are actually occurring. To be exposed to someone like Ron Haviv and his images was a learning experience that I will never forget."
--Matthew Miller, 12th grade
"Due to the pace and demands of the curriculum, it is easy for a teacher to rely on 'that's the way it has always been done.' Whereas, I perceive SEF as the Jiminy Cricket on my shoulder, a source telling me to make a change, a wise decision to benefit and impact our future, our children."
–David Mimnaugh, 4
grade Lincoln-Hubbard teacher
"The Science Research Program gives me the unique opportunity to explore my interests in depth, which I would be unable to do otherwise. I have been able to research a topic that I'm interested in and create an authentic project around it. Going to the science fairs was an excellent experience."

A Feather in your Nightcap
By Lou Bustamante
The last few years have been a breakout for Italian amari, those inky and viscous digestive herbal liqueurs. Yet despite their rising popularity (especially with folks working in the hospitality industry), the appeal may be more in the camaraderie that comes with the dare of drinking something so bitter.
The recent spate of newly released spirits serves to remind us that an after-dinner drink need not be punishing: A glass of good whiskey or a clean, well-made fruit cordial can provide closure to a meal without any bravado necessary. Here are my picks for the best of the new crop—spirits to be lingered over, with great conversation.
Old Pulteney Navigator Single Malt Whisky Old Pulteney, based in Wick in the Scottish Highlands, designed its latest release, Navigator, as an homage to its town's seafaring past: Wick was once renowned for its herring industry. There is no age statement, which means there's a big mix of different ages of whiskies, yet that doesn't mean it lacks flavor. Aged in a combination of used Bourbon and Sherry casks in a barrel warehouse near the sea, it's redolent of salt water and coastal grass, with a balanced sweetness, almond nuttiness and plenty of malt flavor.
Imported by IBHL USA, NY; 40% abv, $49
Talisker, known for producing a powerfully peat-smoked whisky from the Isle of Skye, has introduced an even more intense edition: Talisker Storm. Unlike their other offerings, it bears no age statement, allowing master distiller Mark Lochhead to favor barrel choices over age. The result is a dram with a concentrated smokiness. It's remarkably balanced, with enough sweet butterscotch and sea spray aromas to tame the smoke.
Imported by Diageo, Norwalk, CT; 45.8% abv, $66
The devil was once chased into the Bowmore barrel-aging warehouses, where empty casks were being filled with whisky bound for the mainland—or so the story goes. In the Bowmore Devil's Cask, the barrels are first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks, where this Islay whisky stays for ten years. It's smoky and intense, a savory whisky with a dark roasted-meat quality and tart sweetness.
Imported by Campari America, San Francisco, CA; 56.9% abv, $89
While brand new American oak casks are required to make Bourbon whiskey, used Bourbon butts are far more common in Scotland. Distillers will tell you that's because the used barrels impose less oak influence on the whisky, but Glen Garioch Virgin Oak dispels that theory. The oak is there in herbal, cinnamon and vanilla flavors, but it's plenty balanced by savory, dark-roast malt notes and violet fragrance.
Imported by Campari America, San Francisco, CA; 48% abv, $109
Distilled from a blend of peated and non-peated Scottish malted barley, this Speyside whisky is a fascinating blend of grain, fruit and smoke. Aged for most of its 17 years in used Bourbon barrels, it gets finished in Tawny Port casks. As soon as it's poured, a sweet incense-like smoke aroma puffs from the glass. Its flavors are both toasty and jammy; it recalls grilled fruit, like peaches and berries caramelized over a wood grill, with malt and a hint of oak spice holding it all in balance.
Imported by Anchor Distilling, San Francisco, CA; 50% abv, $99
Despite the impish green devil painted by Leonetto Cappiello on the label, Maurin Quina is a French apéritif, not absinthe. It's made by mixing a sweet white wine with neutral grape brandy infused with wild cherry and cinchona, then further fortifying it with cherry brandy, lemon and cherry juice. The result comes in bright cherry flavors braced with a quinine backbone—delicious alone on the rocks, but even better when stirred into your favorite whisky cocktail.
Imported by Anchor Distilling, San Francisco, CA; 16% abv, $34
It takes 35 pounds of pears to make just three-quarters of a liter of distillate for Pür Likör Williams Pear Liqueur, an intensity borne out in its perfume and its fresh, juicy pear flavor. The Spice Blood Orange liqueur has a good dose of cinnamon and clove flavoring the citrus, in a way that makes it a perfect dovetail to drinks that use sweet vermouth and bitters. Add a nice pour to your Manhattan for a little more orange and spice. These are just two of the six flavors from Pür Likör, a line made by a third-generation distiller in Germany's Bavaria.
Imported by Braverman, San Francisco, CA; Spice Blood Orange and Williams Pear liqueurs both 25% abv, $28/375ml
Since 1998, Laurent Cazottes has been making what are possibly the most painstakingly crafted liquors you can buy. He begins by growing his fruit biodynamically on his estate in Villeneuve-sur-Vère, in the southeast of Bordeaux. Then the fruit is hand-harvested, peeled, cut and seeded. A portion of the prepared fruit is crushed, fermented and distilled to make an eau-de-vie, while the remaining fruit is steeped in grape eau-de-vie for at least six months. Then the two are blended together to make an incredibly rich, clear snapshot of orchard fruit. The CImported by USA Wine Imports for PM Spirits, NY; Quince and Cèdrat both 18% abv, $65/375mldrat (citron or ethrog) is beautifully golden in color, fragrant with sweet and floral citrus peel, and redolent of both candied and fresh citrus. The Quince is amazing—tart, bright and pure. These are two liqueurs you'll want to enjoy simply, on their own.
Imported by USA Wine Imports for PM Spirits, NY; Quince and Cèdrat both 18% abv, $65/375ml
Giffard Liqueurs have been around since 1885, when French pharmacist Emile Giffard was looking for a way to incorporate the cooling and digestive properties of mint into a spirit. Recently, with the help of Erik Hakkinen, head bartender of the Zig Zag Café in Seattle, the liqueurs have finally arrived from the Loire Valley to the United States. Made by extracting fresh fruit in sugar beet alcohol with no artificial inputs, these are higher proof, less sweet and more intense than most. The Abricot du Roussillon in particular is a standout, extravagantly fruity and tart; also try the Banane du Brésil, an intensely tropical elixir that tastes like creamy ripe bananas drizzled with caramel. Use these in place of crème liqueurs in cocktails for a flash of flavor without the cloying sweetness.
Imported by Back Bar Project, Seattle, WA; Abricot du Roussillon and Banane du Brésil, both 25% abv, $29

The Virginia Farm Bureau Federation is forecasting an increase in acres devoted to cotton. The traditional Southern crop could increase from 10 percent to 12 percent this year in southeast Virginia.
The Farm Bureau's Spencer Neale says the forecast reflects a rebounding economy as people begin to purchase more clothing. That demand drives up the price of the crop.
A crop that used to cover 100,000 acres dropped to 60,000 acres a couple years ago. That figure could grow to 70,000 acres in 2010.
In 2008, Virginia cotton growers generated more than $36 million in cash receipts. Measured by acres harvested, cotton is still among Virginia's top 10 crops.

White Tea, like the green tea from which it comes, is considered to be one of the healthiest beverages on the market today. Legends of China will provide you with the finest tea leaves for your tea drinking enjoyment and good health.
Our Bai Mu Dan White Tea (also known as "White Peony") is grown in the mountains of the Fujian Province in China and comes from the tender young buds and leaves that remain after the legendary silver needle white tea has been harvested. White tea undergoes very little processing and the absence of this (steaming, rolling and oxidation) leaves the appearance and cell structure of the leaves basically unaltered. This purity may be what some researchers have said might cause white tea to have a greater concentration of antioxidants than all of the teas that originate from green tea (camellia sinensis). White teas have all of the benefits of green tea and are the most delicate of all, their taste being subtle, complex and mildly sweet.
Just before water comes to a full boil, pour water over the tea bag and brew for 3 to 4 minutes.

main index
A Micro Monarchy is the setting (or a mentioned location, or a background for a character) used for a tiny (and usually, but not always, modern) country, that is under a monarchy, albeit usually a liberal, modernized one. If the monarch has the title of Prince, it's called a Principality. The make-up of the country will include ancient castles that are juxtaposed with modern day architecture of the surrounding buildings and — if it's a European state — the typical modern European car. Despite its size, it will usually have a decent economy, often based around one product that it is known the whole world for, or massive tourism to its historical sites. The nation's defense forces will only consist of ceremonial knights, palace security, and local police, and they will rely on some more powerful neighbor for defense. If they ever are attacked in earnest and their neighbors let them down (or, even worse, the neighbors are the attackers), expect it to be easily conquered, with its inhabitants becoming either dead or oppressed, or, if they fare better, members of La R�sistance. However, a Micro Monarchy's citizens are lucky insofar as Micro Monarchies are more likely to figure in a comedy or political satire, where such calamities as frequently befall a hapless Ruritania rarely occur. This sort of setting has a tendency to be inherited by a long lost princess who has never even heard of the place before. Compare and contrast with Land of One City, which may or may not be also a Micro Monarchy; as well as Ruritania, which is just a fictional Eastern European country, Qurac which does the same for the Middle East, and Bulungi which covers Africa: All these can be Micro Monarchies too, but don't have to.

Zermatt, according to some reporters, is as near as anywhere to perfection, so long as you are an intermediate or advanced skier. With vast and varied skiing that extends via a link with Cervinia into Italy, along with awesome scenery, Zermatt really is a great resort. The only downsides: a lack of choice for beginners and a bit of a trek to the lifts at times.
With amazing restaurants both on and off the mountain, a beautiful town that is traffic free apart from the electric taxis and great nightlife to suit all tastes, life down in resort isn't too shabby either. Add to this some great accommodation and good shopping and its easy to see why Zermatt is often described as "the perfect ski holiday destination". Only downside: as with a lot of Switzerland, it's not cheap.
A mild and sunny weekend was felt by all resorts across Switzerland. Temperatures reached +10°C at mid-mountain level and are predicted to stay well above average throughout the start of the week.
Good skiing was however still available on the upper areas and glaciers of many resorts across the country. Zermatt (5/155cm) had 22 lifts open on Monday and the skiing conditions on the Plateau Rosa were great under sunny skies.
The glaciers at Saas Fee (15/237cm), Flims/Laax (0/125cm) and Engelberg (0/118cm) were also open for skiing, although it was not possible to ski back to the resort at any.
Several resorts opened a few lifts and pistes over the weekend, but will remain closed during the week. This includes Wengen (0/30cm), Andermatt (10/230cm) and Verbier (0/60cm) who all plan to open again for the weekend of 29th and 30th November.
If conditions permit many resorts, including Adelboden, Arosa, Lenzerheide and Samnaun, are scheduled to open on Saturday 29th November.
The weekend brought high temperatures to many resorts across Europe with some seeing as high as 10C. The high temperatures are expected to continue throughout the week so do take this into account when heading out to the slopes.
The forecast across Europe this week is quite varied with Austria expecting lots of sunshine, with the odd patch of cloud early on. It should be a great week for skiing in Austria with great visibility and don't forget the sun cream.
On the other hand a large weather front is predicted to develop over Italy, France and Switzerland and as a result each country is expecting clouds to move in over the next couple of days. This emergence of cloud cover is expected to bring light snowfall, with the glacial resorts of Italy forecast to receive the most, particularly in Cervinia with up to 7cm being predicted.

Apr 28, 2011The best side scrolling shooter for the past 10 years hands down. Only problem is its very difficult but challenge is a good thing, right? As with the older 16 bit side scrollers this still looks beautiful by todays standards add in the twist of changing your ships colour to avoid being hit and losing a life to that of the bullets either black or white, both are fired at the same time on many occasions and you add a very original challenge and new depth to this genre. This is the pinnacle of this type of game, nothings even come close for 10 years.… Expand
It's undoubtedly hard, but looks, sounds and plays wonderfully, both alone and online through Xbox Live. Download this baby immediately.
You're likely to have as much success doing this as trying to watch a 3D movie without the free Sugar Puffs glasses - it amounts to much the same thing. [Issue#32, p.116]
It is extremely challenging and if you don't get too frustrated it will also be tons of fun; either on your own or with a friend. It is classic side-scrolling gaming at its best.

With the recent rain throughout the state, Gov. Mark Warner suspended the water restrictions he implemented a few months ago.
But, the City of Waynesboro has decided to keep its restrictions in tack.
City officials says because they do not have a real way of measuring its underground water levels, Council at the advice of City Manager Schuyler Giles decided to keep the water restrictions in place.
Giles say with the winter months upon us, he did not feel the restrictions would cause a major imposition on the public. Giles says despite the recent rains, he does not think the ground water has had a chance to recharge yet.
"I feel it is smart for us to keep the restrictions in place to see if this latest trend of rain wood continue or snow to help recharge the ground water," said Giles.
City Council has agreed to look at the water restriction issues again in late March or early April.

How long will your camera last? We can tell you
Given they live in our handbags and rucksacks – and aren't strangers to a splash of liquid at a party or a roll in the sand on holiday – I'm always amazed at just how resilient cameras are. I picked up my first digital camera half a dozen years ago and despite banging around a dusty drawer for the last few years it will still take a picture when called upon.
And so it should. Most of us use our cameras pretty infrequently, only switching them on for a special occasion. But just how long should you expect your camera to last fault free and which brand is best?
TV reliability – find out how TVs brands fared in our reliability series
How long will your camera last?
As part of our annual reliability survey we asked over 7,000 people about their current and previous cameras. They told us if their camera had developed a fault and when the issue developed. This lets us compare different camera brands and see which ones are more likely to develop a fault.
And our survey shows…
As expected our survey shows cameras are, in general, pretty durable. An astounding 88% of cameras made it through five years of life fault free – that's nearly nine in ten. Stack this up against TVs (which we profiled last week) where only 81% of sets were fault free over the same period.
Incredibly, top performer Panasonic (90%) also came up trumps in our TV survey. It just goes to show that some brands do put more effort into making products that are built to last.
While most camera brands came out on the right side of robust there are a few stand out names to avoid. Casio (78%) came bottom of our table, so it's perhaps unsurprising that the brand makes very few cameras these days. Established name Kodak (82%) is more disappointing, but again, the brand is leaving the camera business behind.
What can I do if my camera develops a fault?
If you find your zoom won't zoom or your shutter won't shut, you can exercise your rights under the Sales of Goods Act. Read our guide to returning goods that develop a fault to find out how.
Join us at the same time, same place, next week to find out how long your DAB radio will last and which brand came out on top.

I've had a Nikon for 17 years and it's still going strong. I do take photos on my phone but when I want to take a really good picture of something special I'll always use the Nikon. I paid a fortune for it (at the time) but it has never given me a problem
I have a Panasonic and it has been going brilliantly for years.
My Minolta (Sony) Dynax 9 is faultless after 17 years. Minolta even gave it a free checkup when it was 5 years old, as part of the warranty!
More recently I bought a Canon Powershot S95 which broke just over a year later and was replaced with a Powershot S100, but that broke while on holiday last May – it was less than 2 years old. I now have a Powershot S120 that's still working after 2 months! I wonder if it will last the year?
Cameras and radios are one of the few tech products that still seem to be built to last. Tablets, laptops and everything else new seems built to fail fast so you have to buy a new one.
other way round.built to last two years because lots of buyers will refresh within two years.
problem being,if everything was built to last 20 years and folk only refreshed every 20 years,there just are not enough folk buying through the refresh gap for firms to remain in business,how do they generate income with almost zero sales except every 20 years.
sorry,but we cannot have it both ways.
markets are not set up to run like that,and folk would not stand for it,try telling an applee or samsung fan boy that they are going to have to stand in a line at a shopping mall fir the nect 2 decades before he/she get their shiny new toy.
i wish you luck with that one.
folk want faster and faster turnover for slightly better tech each time.
Its just cost me about £185 to have a Canon 24-105mm EF USM zoom lens repaired by Canon, because the camera body was reporting 'error 01′ (No communication). A simple search on the internet reveals this issue has inconvenienced a lot of people – it must be a design fault or error.
It does seem digital cameras are very robust but then perhaps I have been fortunate. My Canon HSX 50 superzoom I have been using for around seven months and I am well past 26,000 photos without any problems. Given that it has been operating from freezing to 38C with high humidity I am very impressed. One of my concerns was whether condensation would be a major problem however this is not been the case.
There is a very slight grinding sound with the zoom now but writing the camera off if necessary – 30000 pennies for 20,000+ shots would not be to much of a hardship.
We also use a a Olympus SP810UZ which was our primary travel camera and has been to Uganda, Brazil and Canada and taken over 10,000 photos. No problems at all.
but it will not last much longer with most cameras.
the top end will stick to same build quality,but just like most other consumer devuces,they are designed and built to only have a limited lifespan,mid range and cheap device firms rely on turnover of bulk numbers,whats the point of making a device last 5 years when,A)it will be seen as outdated after 18 months and thete is good chance that users will replace every 2 years anyway,firms like samsung,lg etc have gone from annual product line refresh to a 6 month turn over, so this problem will only get worse.
national panasoniic/panasonic/technics holding firm,matsushita,have always had a wonderful approach to quality,my lds 553 radio/cassette is 34+ years old,been serviced multiple times and is still going strong and makes modern kit look like its made from clingfilm and a bit of glue.
just a pity they have had to cintract product ranges over the years.
brliant firm,panasonic,pity the same cannot be said about my very,very pricey olympus dslr…

It isn't always easy to turn down a request to be friends—especially in the context of online social networking. That was one finding of a recent study by security research firm Sophos. The trouble is, according to security experts, a growing number of networking messages are coming from scammers, phishers, and malware distributors.
Sophos created two fictitious profiles for the study. Daisy, represented by a picture of a rubber duck, was 21 and single; Dinette, posting a picture of two cats on a rug, was 56 and married. Sophos sent 100 friend requests from each profile to random contacts in similar age ranges.
After two weeks, 46 and 41 percent of requests were accepted for Daisy and Dinette, respectively. Dinette actually gained 49 new friends, as some users friended her on their own. The amount of new friendships generated in the study, conducted in Australia, was comparable to that of a similar England-based 2007 Sophos study. The new study shows how social networkers remain vulnerable to a variety of scams, says Sophos senior technology consultant Graham Cluley.
In 89 percent of cases, "Daisy" was able to learn her new friends' dates of birth. "Dinette" could so 57 percent of the time. E-mail addresses were discoverable in 100 and 88 percent of cases, respectively. Gleaning such information frequently serves as a "starting point" for further scams such as phishing and social engineering, according to Paul Ducklin, Sophos head of technology in the Asia Pacific region, who conducted the study.
In some cases, hackers will use basic information to try to break into other accounts. "Friends," claiming to be in trouble, will sometimes ask for money; others will send links to Web sites that download malware. Hackers frequently gain access to one social networking account and then contact many of that person's friends. About 21 percent of networking users have been targeted by phishing and other attacks, according to Sophos.
Many people should ask themselves whether it's necessary to post information such as a date of birth or e-mail address, Cluley says. Although users are required to provide a date of birth when registering with Facebook, it can be hidden with the site's privacy settings. Users might also consider providing false information or revealing only a birth year, Cluley says. People might also reconsider sharing their e-mail address, as people can already be contacted via social networking.
As a rule, people should avoid posting anything online they do not want public, according to Cluley. Hacking aside, social networking and other sites have numerous privacy-related risks, he says. A site could accidentally leak data, for instance.
At least one analyst says some users are starting to exercise more caution in the broad range of information they post. Job applicants, for instance, particularly younger ones, are realizing that many potential employers are viewing their networking pages, says Claire Schooley, a Forrester Research analyst. "Many are realizing it's time to clean up [their] Facebook."
Online friending should be more selective, say Ducklin and Cluley. In the study, the younger group had 220 friends on average; the older group had 932. But no one has 932 "true friends," says Ducklin. A friend is someone you "know, like, and trust.... Not merely a button you click on."

DEFINITION of 'Corporate Refinancing'
The process through which a company reorganizes its debt obligations by replacing or restructuring existing debts. Refinancing may also involve issuing equity to pay off a percentage of debt.
Debt is replaced or refunded by a company with money that is raised by issuing or creating other borrowing. In restructuring, a company works with its creditor to change the terms of a loan; these terms can include the reduction of interest rates, the improvement of covenants or the extension of the loan's terms.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Corporate Refinancing'
Corporate refinancing will often come about if a company is unable to meet its current obligations and needs to restructure the terms of its existing debt arrangement. This usually involves lowering the interest rate and extending the time to maturity. This happens most often when a company is near bankruptcy or is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Refinancing will also occur when interest rates have fallen in the market, as the lower current market rates allows a company to cut down on the overall costs of debt a company faces. One way a company can achieve this is by calling its redeemable or callable bonds, then reissuing them at a lower rate of interest.

What right do you have to judge me? Surely by now you should be looking deeper than outward appearances.
And yet somehow all you can see is how you look.
I know it doesn't match who you are. It's the incongruence of it that causes you such a problem isn't it?
This outward appearance gives away your secrets doesn't it?
It's like a scar. It shows that you have been wounded. It shows that you are weak.
But you know, a scar can also show that you have survived. And scar tissue is thicker. Scar tissue is something to be proud of. It shows that you won in the end.
Maybe that weight that you see doesn't really give away your secrets.
Because it doesn't matter. How you look doesn't matter.
You keep telling yourself that and it's getting easier to believe.
Dear fat person in the mirror…so what?
Everyone is different shapes and sizes. It only matters if it matters to you.
Why can't you just let it go?
When I turn away from you I'm fine. You have no power over me. Without you glaring at me I am who I am supposed to be.
But when I let you glance at me you sneer in disgust.
Who are you to judge me?
I am ok with who I am. Why are you not?
Do you not realise that how you look is not who you are? It doesn't matter to anyone else so why should it matter to you?
But it does matter. It matters a lot.
Because you know why you have more weight on than you want. You know why you can't lose it. And every time you look at me, you remind me. You remind me of why you need the weight to protect you. You need the protection. It stops people getting close. It stops people seeing you for who you are – a woman. Even the phrase "woman" still catches in your throat. There is so much risk to that word.
If you weren't a girl then it wouldn't have happened.
And despite everything that has changed this remains.
Dear fat person in the mirror…it's ok to let go now.
It is safe to be you without this protective layer. I can see that, why can't you?
Please, I'm begging you, let me be free to be me.

Duck in St. Louis
- s
- shannoninstlouis Apr 16, 2007 07:09 PM
I'm looking for a good place to buy duck in St. Louis, breasts or legs for confit. I just bought Sunday Suppers at Lucques and am dying to do some of the duck recipes. Mid county or city places would be most helpful!
I can't think of a single time in St. Louis I've ever seen duck available for home use, where you didn't have to buy a whole bird unless it was already confit. That said, Even Dierberg's, etc in nicer locations carries frozen duck. Whole Foods definitely does. I've seen it in Global Foods in Kirkwood.
I do vaguely remember seeing breasts at Whole Foods frozen many years ago, but I'm not entirely sure I'm right about that. I recall it being ridiculously expensive.
I have seen duck at Soulard, and I know some people that show up at Kirkwood Market sell duck, so I don't know if any of those types of people will sell you certain parts or not. I would assume not, because then what would they do with the rest of the fowl?
Good luck, and let us know what you find out.
I agree with bobzemuda, unfrozen duck in St. Louis is very hard to find. My best guesses would be Soulard Market or one of the Bosnian places in Bevo.
I just got through making duck and goose confit,and I used the whole ones,rendered the fat and the skins for the confit,made stock out of the rest and froze it for later use,you have to have the grease anyhow,do you realize how exspenive it is to buy???
Let me give you a tip, in the future buy your duck at Christmas and store it in your freezer,I've found that Wal-mart lower's their price on the geese to 99 cents after New years and that's when I buy and buy ha-ha as much as my freezer will hold, the folws are encased in fat that it will hold in your freezer for a long time. Good luck on your confit. Store the confit in your freezer in the fat for what you don't want to eat right away.
I could swear I saw duck at Schnucks but now you've got me questiong myse;f. I can hook you up during next hunting season. We killed just shy of 500 this year and have been happily enjoying the bounty ever since. We typically breast them out but I can change that and bring you the whole shebang if you'd like.
re: DetectDave
That is definitely an interesting offer, as long as it's not for all 500! I'll have to let you know closer to the season.
re: DetectDave
I think Schnucks and Dierbergs carry fresh duck prior to Thanksgiving. You could probably order one if not.
re: DetectDave
Once you bone out the breast what do you do with the rest of the duck? Seems like a waste if you're pitching what's left. Maybe you can figure out something to do with it.
On a somewhat similar note, I bought an elk from a farm in IL in March. Butchered it myself and kept the liver to try. I thought it might taste like venison liver, which I don't care for, but was pleasantly surprised. It was quite mild and tasty. Every bit as good as cow liver if you care for liver at all.
re: shannoninstlouis
I may be going off a deep end here, but you have a chance this weekend to get impeccably fresh duck if you are willing to work a little bit. I'm also going off a deep end by telling you about a swap meet for birds and animals ... check out www.mbaba.org for more information. The fun kicks off around 5:30 AM and is over when the animals run out, which usually means a falling off around 10:30 AM.
This swap meet is intended for people who breed poultry and fowl (as well as other animals), and the reasons behind the interest in the birds are diverse. My only advice, don't go up to the prettiest bird and say that it looks yummy.
While in Whole Foods yesterday, I noticed that you could purchase a package of two frozen breasts. It was around a lb for i believe $15.
Hi Shannon,
I agree with the others who've posted that Soulard and sometimes Whole Foods have fresh duck. Farrar Out Farm will be offering fresh ducks soon at the Kirkwood Market. Their phone is 573-824-9933.
Whole Foods carries Moulard or Muscovy ducks, while I'm pretty sure that the ducks at Soulard are good old Long Island ducks, which are fine; they just don't have the super-sized breasts of the other breeds.
My advice would be to buy two or three ducks. Have the person at the meat counter cut them up for you - that way you'll have the perfect serving for a few dinners for 4 or 6 PLUS all the skin and excess fat for rendering the fat, which you need for the confit, anyway.
In my opinion, you're better off cooking the legs separately from the breasts anyway. The legs need long cooking, while the breasts are very nice quickly grilled to medium or medium rare.
I've seen frozen containers of duck fat at The Wine and Cheese Place, but it's pretty expensive considering how much you need.
Good luck! I really love that cookbook, btw. I'm looking forward to eating there someday.

Chino, CA
If you love airplanes and other flying machines, Chino has a lot to offer you. The city is home to not one but two air museums, making it uniquely equipped to educate and entertain anyone who is interested in flight. The Planes of Fame museum has locations in other parts of the country and offers Chino residents the opportunity to learn more about World War II aircraft and aircraft carriers. Additionally, the Yanks Flying Museum offers Chino residents the opportunity to see multiple planes of different sizes and uses from different eras throughout history. Veterans and active-duty military personnel can go to Yanks for free.
In Spanish, "Prado" means "meadow", and this park can be thought of as a meadow of recreational opportunities for Chino residents. There is a huge array of options to choose from in terms of outdoor entertainment, including biking and walking trails, fishing ponds, campgrounds, a disc golf course, two 18-hole golf courses, a shooting range, and an archery range. If taking it easy is more your style, you can also use onsite picnic and meeting facilities at Prado Regional Park. You can enjoy the park's picnic shelters to host a family cookout the provided BBQ grills.

The reunification of an Iranian family at Bush Intercontinental Airport is the starting point for the English-language opera The Bricklayer, which is making its premiere with this production by the Houston Grand Opera. It's based on a short story by Iranian-American author Farnoosh Moshiri, whose own life supplied much of the plot line, said Evan Wildstein, producer of HGO's Song of Houston: East + West Initiative.
In The Bricklayer, the characters Mr. and Mrs. Parvin join their daughter and granddaughter in Houston after the 1979 Iranian revolution. Their son has been executed and the Shah overthrown.
Wildstein was charged with pulling together all the pieces of this effort: story, music, writers and performers. The music for the piece is a blend of western and Persian. "Composer Greg Spears — he's really interested in older Russian troubadour music — so he set himself the challenge of either doing the Eastern tonalities in the singers or in the instrumentation," Wildstein said. Spears settled on the Persian ney, an inblown sort of bamboo flute, which plays throughout the opera. "When you hear the ney, it's a very sort of Eastern, relaxing tone," Wildstein said.

Members of the Iranian-American community met with HGO during pre-production. "They didn't want us to tell a sob tale," said Wildstein. "But the intensity behind the experience of Persian Americans is just tremendous." 8 p.m. Wortham Center, 501 Texas. Additional performances are scheduled for other dates and locations. Through March 20. For a full schedule, call 713-228-6737 or visit www.houstongrandopera.org. $12.50.
