The FineTobaccoNYC Team
Matthias founded FineTobaccoNYC in 2010. Originally from Portland, Oregon, he enjoys spending his spare time discussing politics, playing the guitar and piano, teaching Argentine tango, and smoking quality cigars. Matthias discovered and fell in love with fine tobacco in 2007. He also enjoys learning about the culture, history, and etiquette of fine tobacco. He loves hanging out at cigar lounges in the city, but will always take a relaxed evening at a park with friends (when weather and the law permits).
Some of his favorite cigars are the Hispanola Trabuco, the Camacho Triple Maduro, and the Reinado Habanito. FineTobaccoNYC is a natural extension of his love of cigars, pipes, New York City, and people. Email me.
David Alicea is a professional cigar broker and has worked in the industry for many years. 14 years ago, David was hanging out with a co- worker at the time who liked cigars. He suggested the Padron 2000 natural robust size to smoke, and although David had no idea what to do with the cigars, he loved the experience and set himself to learning as much as possible about cigars.
That road has provided a lot of new experiences, flavors, and aromas. Opus x, Padron, Davidoff Millenium, Don Carlos, Rocky Patel 1992 vintage, Don Pepin blue label, Tatuaje Black, to name a few! After a few years the tobacco industry, David decided he needed to go back to my true passion which is art. But he still enjoys meeting new people, hearing stories and most of all smoking.
Kelvin Batista is a cigar enthusiast who discovered the marvelous world of cigars over ten years ago and has been captivated ever since. Among other things, he brings a fresh perspective and serendipity to FinetobaccoNYC, including in depth cigar and cigar related reviews as well as event planning. Kelvin has a passion for bringing people together to promote and preserve connoisseur culture in New York City.
James Bollen is originally from Missoula, Montana. In his spare time, he enjoys reading at coffee shops, discussing philosophy and politics, and discovering new places in the five boroughs. His first encounter with cigars was at the New Orleans Jazz Festival. A few years later, he smoked a Montecristo White Rothchilde.
Since then, he has enjoyed learning cigar etiquette and history, the cigar making process, and about cigar body, flavor, and aroma. He frequents different cigar lounges around the city to relax and hang out with friends. He enjoys FineTobaccoNYC because it works to spread knowledge of places to smoke in the city and to build friendships in the cigar community. His current favorite cigars are the Gurkha 1887, Illusione, and Graycliff Red Label PG.
Tim Wainwright is a jack of all trades: student, political activist, entrepreneur, geek, and wanna-be connoisseur of all things refined and good (in the truest sense of the word). He was first introduced to the lifestyle of a gentleman by his father, an English preacher with a fondness for the old-school, hard knocks, Port, and the occasional cigar. He gave Tim his first cigar when he was 16, and bought him his first pipe shortly thereafter.
Since then, Tim says he has made small but significant steps in advancing his pallet. He enjoys the Rocky Patel Decade, the Oliva Series G, and the Diamante's Chisel. He enjoys Latakia and English blends of pipe tobacco.
Interests include: Coffee, Movies, Kindness, Writing, Social Media Marketing, Improv Acting, Charity, Sticking it to the man, shootin the j, fine dining, monocles, sailing, fencing, boxing, being a man, God, Church, panache, savoir-faire, and devil-may-care attitudes. Disinterested in: Adults who are still teenagers, big-government conservatism, people who say they hate to read, making fun of the little guy, and MTA service changes.
Ronnie Parisella's first cigar was an Ashton Maduro that he purchased from Barclay Rex on Broad St. downtown. He has never walked into a humidor and failed to learn something useful. He loves listening to guys argue about cigars as well. He says it is all about taste.
Additionally, Ronnie was appointed the chairman of the New York Chapter of the Cigar Rights of America, more commonly known as the "CRA." "Cigar Rights of America was founded on the principle of fighting for the freedom to enjoy cigars. CRA is a consumer-based, non-profit public advocacy organization that works with local, state and federal governments to protect the freedoms of cigar enthusiasts."
Ronnie is also heavily involved in the Information Technology industry. Hea was recently highlighted as a top Information Technology Entrepreneur and as a leading CTO under age 40 by VAR Business Magazine. His work as a technology leader has led to him being a frequent commentator on IT best practices for small and mid-sized businesses.
Christian offers a perspective of cigars ranging from vintage pre-embargo smokes, hard to find cigars as well as current releases. His 16+ years of smoking and love of travel have taken him on cigar journeys here and abroad. From smoking HERF's in friends backyards to smoking Montecristo #2's on the terrace of the Hungarian Palace Hotel in Lido Italy, Christian takes the "everyman" approach to cigar smoking being it all about taste and enjoyment of where you are or who you are with.
Said journey also led him to become one of the first Cigar Rights of America Ambassadors for NY State. Attending the CRA Freedom Tour in August of 2008 Christian was immediately inspired to fight for the beloved cause of the right to enjoy a cigar. Christian can be seen attending various cigar events in NYC and Long Island spreading the word of CRA and its mission.
Christian's passions also span the world of fine wines, foods and spirits. From Bourbons to Bordeaux Christian has had the opportunity to taste various vintages and bottlings. As a member of the American Sommelier Association Christian has had the pleasure of attending wine seminars as well as visiting several wine countries on his vacations. These things as well as dining at various Michelin stared restaurants demonstrate his motto that "Taste IS life".

House Haller by Haller Jürgen and Peter Plattner
Haller Jürgen together with Peter Plattner designed the House Haller in Mellau, Austria.
House Haller by Haller Jürgen and Peter Plattner
The vision was a customised building, incorporating the impressive panorama at the foot of the Alps with a lifestyle demanding variable solutions. The owner's specifications were a house combining living and working areas under one roof.
The entire design of this compact house conforms to the location and it was built into the slight decline. As the hill side of the house is embedded, the east facing cellar area could be naturally illuminated and used as an office, for example. This office has direct access, via covered outdoor steps between the main entrance and the carport. Due to its ideal positioning, the building profits from the optimal use of the mountain sunshine.
In spite of being highly original and very chunky, looking almost fortified, the building does not appear out-of-place in its surroundings. The nearby 150 year old, heritage-protected, typical Bregenzerwald farmhouse is reflected in the Haller house. Local tradition has been reinterpreted, focussing on aesthetic details without cutting back on functional aspects.
The entrance area is generous and includes a guests' cloakroom. It is also possible to enter the house or the office from the double garage. The central staircase divides the ground floor into a living area and a kitchen/eating area. The bedrooms and an extra bathroom for guests are situated on the first floor. The owner's bathroom has a separate terrace, which is ideal for relaxing and enjoying the magnificent views. The ridge and pitch of the roof give each first floor room an individual character.
The internal walls and ceilings are covered with local silver fir wood, which gives the rooms a cosy feeling despite the large glass windows. The outside façade and the roof have been finished with local silver fir shingles. Here we can see how the architect as made use of a single material, testing its possibilities and confinements. What was once considered confined to traditional buildings appears here as experimental.

Beautiful structure and interiors. I was surprised at how much it was in harmony with the neighborhood. Perfect use of wood, glass and geometry to create a unique but livable home.

Just amazing building. The plan shows it focuses heavily on the work space as owner's specifications.
If Haller Jürgen and Peter Plattner design a family house, it would be the greatest.

You just don't hear enough songs these days from a dog's perspective, so here come the funked-up dudes who backed N.E.R.D. with a whimsical throwback tune that humps the line between novel and novelty. The quirky falsetto verses are almost too goofy, but when they give way to a rollickin' piano-pop chorus, Spymob are barking up the right tree.

DC law firm Paul, Hastings is putting on an "Executive Telecom Briefing" on "Telecom & Photonics Opportunities In The Obama Stimulus Plan".
The brochure falsely says that: "The Obama Stimulus Package includes approximately $800 billion in new investment designed to boost the U.S. economy over the next 24 months." It's designed to make the depression worse, is what it's designed to do! It goes on: "More than $30 billion will be specifically directed at Telecommunications, Photonics, and Information Technologies (TPIT). Another $30 billion will be spent on related activities that could directly and indirectly give a further boost to TPIT. Are you ready to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity?"
To assist you in coming to grips with, and understanding, this opportunity, Information Gatekeepers Inc (IGI), in cooperation with the Paul Hastings LLP and Information Age Economics (IAE), is planning a series of telecommunications and photonics executive briefings.
There are several lively topics, including "Green Photonics," "Overview of the Political Environment Under the Obama Administration," and my favorite, "How to Proceed to Get Your Share of the Stimulus Money." The ad gushes that the following "should be interested": "Equipment suppliers; Service suppliers; Systems integrators; Contractors and Sub-contractors; Consultants; Lawyers."
I can't help but imagine the sound of hog-callers going SOO-WEE! SOOOO-WEEEEEEE!! calling pigs to the trough.Update: Yet another one: The Stimulus and Beyond: Navigating the Brave New World (HT Stephen Fairfax)1:35 pm on April 8, 2009 Email Stephan Kinsella

|I have looked at the Coastguard map, and compared the distances between stations, for instance along the English Channel (yes, I know a lot of traffic goes through that but there is also a lot of traffic via the north west coast of Scotland too - and the distance across the Channel isn't the distance into the North Atlantic) and rather than close either Stornoway OR Shetland, I would have thought they could have done with another one on the isle of Barra, to 'fill the visible comparison gap'. Yes there are a few more bases on the RNLI station's map, which I also looked at (remembering it is a voluntary/charitable organisation) but the Coastguard fulfils many other things including advice to 'travellers'. If I was one of those 'travellers' I would want someone who is likely to be more familiar with the local area than someone miles away in Belfast or the Shetlands. I know that is important to save money as organisations have to make ends meet, but I think that ultimately it is more important to save lives than money. Surely there must be another way to make a saving than by closing or minimising the usage of this very important base.
|My son-in-law flew the Stornoway Coastguard helicopter for five years, and I know from him how important it is to have local people coordinating search and rescue on the west coast. We encounter problems with Ambulance Control in Inverness who sometimes send emergency ambulances to the wrong part of Skye (the name may be similar) because of lack of local knowledge.
|There is no strategic rationale behind this move, local knowledge saves lives and the position of Stornoway makes it difficult to replace without endangering lives and shipping. The cost to the environment from a preventable accident will far out-way any spurious savings from consolidating the resource. Shetland is thus equally valuable.
|Total Madness to consider closing Stornoway & Shetland With thousands of miles of intricate and complicated coastline it defies logic to even consider contemplating closure of either of the stations in question . The waters of the Minch, Pentland Firth, Orkney, the Outer Hebrides are the cross roads of the world in maritime terms. Are we really paying for those that make such ridiculous decisions
|I live near the coast in the south of England and hope to move to the Islands later this year. I am an active sea kayaker and understand the importance of the coastguard and paddle secure in the knowledge that they are there for me if something goes wrong. They are the real fourth emergency service and must be treated as such by the current government. Cost cutting cannot be done at the risk of costing lives
|Reduction of any aspect of HM Coastguard cover in the area of The Minch is unwelcome, unwarranted and potentially dangerous. Closure of Stornoway goes even further and is totally unacceptable in an area busy with large commercial shipping, fishing vessels, ferries and the massive amount of yachts. No closure!
|Local knowledge is absolutely essential in correctly identifying locations in an area where place names which are gaelic or of gaelic origin can easily be confused. This essential feature can be provided only by Stornoway coastguard.
|There are many other areas in which money can be saved but this would be a real danger to life. The recent incidents involving the ditched Tornado etc show how vital it is to retain a full time local presence with the local knowledge thus available together with speedy response.
|The events over the last few weeks has all but proved that the Western Isles MUST retain this vital emergency service who do a fantastic job 24 hours a day 365 days a year. The lads and lassies who provide the service in the Western Isles be it in the air or on land are worth more than their weight in gold and any so-called MP's trying to run this country!
|Having a friend break her leg two thirds of the way up Sgurr Choinich (Torridon) in winter conditions we were EXTREMELY grateful to Stornoway Coast Guard and the helicopter crew who got her off quickly and efficiently. The planned closures leave big holes in the cover and ability of the remaining locations to offer a comprehensive service.
|Centralising the Coastguard stations can only lead to disaster. The local knowledge makes a huge difference, and the technical challenges with centralisation could mean that many incidents will not get the support they would now. I was rescued by the coastguard a couple of years ago, and the local voice made a huge difference.
|The government should not forget that we are a maritime nation and the coastguard service should be sacrosanct. Stornoway coastguard must be open day and night as traffic does not stop at night. An accident of a major scale would cost much more than the savings now.
|I have a business that takes the public on sea trips in the area covered by Stornoway coastguard, if it was to be reduced or even worse closed my safety and the safety of my passengers would be greatly effected along with all other sea farers, i understand that money has to be saved but the closure would without a doubt cost LIVES, don't let people die for a budget !!
|I believe Stornoway Coastguard should be saved as it covers a coastline of disproportionate length and is involved in the routing and support of vessels through some of the UK's most treacherous waters. Furthermore the team in Stornoway are multilingual which is important when dealing with both Gaelic and English place names. I have always found the team in Stornoway to be helpful in providing information to me as we have sailed the Minch.
|I am a local sea kayaker and former Coastguard employee. He planned closures will directly affect the safety of recreational seagoers. The local knowledge within existing MRCCs has been responsible for the swift resolution of countless incidents, which otherwise may have turned out less fortunately. When I worked at MRCC Stornoway, the most difficult calls to handle were the ones that came from outside our patch- local knowledge made all the difference. The watches at MRCC and round the country are dedicated, professional and work long, antisocial hours for little pay. What do they give in return? A world-class maritime SAR service that has saved so many lives.
|regardless of any financial incentives to do so there is NO substitute for local knowledge. Please give this decision your fullest consideration and listen to the people who currently offer a superb service. My grandson works on one of the fishing boats and I would be horrified to think that such a centre of expertise as the Stornoway coastguard station was going to be closed. If the people who sit in offices making these decisions spent just a day with the people who rely on the current services, they would not dream of axing them.
|What evidence exists that operational testing of the proposed new systems for Scotland have taken place. What happens if the new systems fail when operated by only one remaining centre. The importance of local knowledge being retained cannot be overstated and the absence of this knowledge can make the difference in a life or death situation. The Stornoway coastguard station should not have its level of service reduced and should be retained as a 24 hour operation.
|Stornoway coastguard have proved their local knowledge to be indispensable when our club had it's only call out of 12 years. I doubt that someone in Aberdeen would have been able to piece together the hypothermic ramblings of a distressed paddler and have worked out where they were on the multi-indented coastline of Skye so quickly without local knowledge. A helicopter saved his life. With all respect to the professionals in Aberdeen, our member may well have died that day.
|Taking the public out to sea every day through the summer it is good to know we have back up from our local coast guard if we needed it. The local knowledge of the Stornoway coastguard is such an asset to us and the whole Island which is dependant on the sea for many jobs, tourism and even just travel to main land. We need to know we're safe at Sea by having people with experience and knowledge of where we are not the other side of Scotland.
|The government proposals to chop so many coastguard stations is astonishingly short-sighted and distinctly life-threatening. They seem to forget the UK is an island with only one tenuous land link to the Continent. The nation requires as many eyes and ears as possible to watch over our seas and coasts, especially in these years of terrorism events and threats. I feel this is penny-pinching for its own sake. As regards closing either Stornoway or Shetland, where's the local professional backup for 24/7 RNLI & CG Helicopters based there? They MUST keep both stations 24/7 as they cover the largest - and some of the most dangerous in the world - sea areas & coastlines of the UK. now they want to replace professionals with electronics and beefed-up volunteers. Have you told them about the VHF blackspots in your areas, and as for mobile phones...we all can't afford Immersat sets. Having sailed up and down the west coast of Scotland, and beyond, for the last 30-odd years in a number of yachts - the last 20 out of Ullapool - it is ALWAYS reassuring to hear the local CG station on the radio and to know if you are in difficulty, and you need help or rescue, they will know where to find you with their specific local knowledge. Again, we don't all have DSC sets yet. If the worst comes to the worst and they go ahead with their Whitehall madcap schemes, I
|It is very distressing that our government in London appears to be so unaware of the geography, climate and nature of the seas around the North of Scotland that it could even dream of such decimation of the Coast Guard service in Scotland. Are the lives of those who earn their living from the sea and of others who are currently served by the Coastguard service of so little importance?
|My operation relies on Stornoway Coastguard on an almost daily basis. They are an integral part of our standard operating procedures and safety policy and provide a hugely important and thoroughly professional service to all users of the maritime environment in this geographical area. To reduce or remove this service would be an act of the utmost folly and would lead to loss of life sooner rather than later.
|Not much point in having a Day Station - the sea doesn't go to sleep!!! Keep Stornoway - it covers a huge area.
|as a fisherman, this governments just putting another nail in our coffin, but this time there really doing it, putting our lives in danger by there insanity.
|i have called Stornoway coastguard twice last year for divers suffering from the bends and the response time was amazing i can not consider them not being there
|I have actually been in the control room at Stornoway Coastguard as a full scale emergency has been unfolding. As well as the high level of professionalism and skill from the team on duty, what struck me was the value of in-depth LOCAL knowledge and how this can help save lives. In 2010, Stornoway Coastguard undertook 183 operations, the most in a single year since it was established 25 years ago. It will be too late to realise what a mistake closing it will be once environmental damage is done or when lives are lost. The Government may think that they will be making savings but the cost, in reality, could be very high.
|I strongly support the retention of Stornoway Coastguard Rescue Co-ordination Station and furthermore that it should remain a 24-hour operations station. I feel the plan to reduce the number of stations around the British Isles is fundamentally flawed and poorly thought out, the emphasis being on saving money rather than saving lives. Stornoway CG cover the busy shipping lanes of the Minch and west of Hebrides, as well as providing essential cover for the NW of Scotland. It is unfeasible that the same level of knowledge and operational excellence could be provided from Aberdeen.
|As a frequent sailor and sea kayaker in this area I rely on Stornoway coastguard for vital local knowledge and accurate weather and safety information. With smaller radios, it is often impossible to hear or contact any other stations and they lack the local knowledge I am looking for. Kayakers especially will find their safety compromised in the remoter parts of the Western Isles - an area growing rapidly in popularity with this sport. A reduction in use will impact on a fragile economy just beginning to benefit from more visitors by kayak and yacht. I also value the wildlife of this coastline. The potential for a marine disaster is high with a consequential impact on wildlife, fishing and local communities. There have been close shaves. A 24 hour maritime centre in the Minch both increases the chances of avoiding an accident and is best placed if anything were to happen minimising the risks to all. This marine biodiversity should continue to receive the highest level of protection available at times when it is already under stress from human mismanagement of fishing and pollution. It is this kind of service I pay taxes for - and would pay more taxes for. Please retain this centre.
|As a visiting small boat sailor who is getting to know this area, and knows how lonely it can feel when things turn difficult, I'd like you to maintain the reassurance of having 24 hour local cover from Stornoway Coastguard. The absence of night cover with local knowledge for coordinating rescues alarms me. These are some of the most testing waters around the UK and a local station must be essential for maritime safety.
|I regularly sail in the waters covered by Stornoway Coastguard and have firsthand experience of how important it is for the area. Any downgrading of the station could have serious ramifications the more so in the light of the massive future west coast development of marine based energy generation. These activities will greatly increase marine traffic.
|The UK government must be stupid to think that all THREE of the coasts of Scotland can be covered by one coastguard station in Aberdeen. The minimum needed is one on the East Coast, one on the west Coast and one to cover the Orkneys and Shetlands.
|Having worked within the Minch and associated areas covered by the Stornoway Coastguard for the last 25years) and having on numerous occasion's needed their assistance, co-operation, and co-ordination in situations which could otherwise have ended in serious injury or fatality!!! . I personally think that the loss of local expertise, knowledge, and 24 hour coverage would amount to sheer folly, resulting in an increased rise in the fatal outcome of many incidents.
|If Stornoway was to close lives will be lost because of lack of local knowledge in an emergency. I am greatly indebted to Stornoway coastguard for probably saving the life of my 19 year old son who had a serious heart problem while fishing in the Minch. The speed with which they reacted and airlifted my son to hospital made all the difference between life and death. I fear this speedy response will be lost if station was to close
|Stornoway has so much coastline to cover. Local knowledge is paramount...how can someone in Aberdeen know where all the ins and outs of the western isles and northwest coast of the Mainland. It's ridiculous to even think of it. All it would take would be one incident and a misunderstanding by someone in Aberdeen trying to understand gaelic and it could all go downhill.
|This proposal is flawed and obviously it was drawn up by MCA management looking for brownie points ,see me what I have done to save money, they have little or no maritime knowledge and their aim is look after number 1. Where do they propose to get the additional staff required at Aberdeen MRCC when at this time it has a 30 to 40% staff turnover. What about local knowledge there are many headlands, islands etc with local names not marked on maps or charts and additionally many places have the same names , for instance there are 5 Pabbay islands in the Hebrides chain. Keep Stornoway as a 24 hr station guarding the west coast and the north west approaches to the UK , mariners work 24/7 not daylight hours The average time for incidents in the Stornoway area is around 3 to 4 hours and not a 10 minute smash and grab as happens in southerly stations.
|I have no doubt that I owe my life to Stornoway Coastguard and Stornoway Coastguard Helicopter. These plans show little appreciation for the need for rescues to be coordinated with 100% clarity and speed.
|When I get a "shout" I want to know asap, where I am headed and vital time could be lost with the communication side of things, that's when lives can be lost. Think of this going over the radio to someone in ABERDEEN " I am in loch Bun Abhainn Eadarra" or " I am 2 miles off Gob Rubha Bhalamuish Bhig" !!!, WE NEED FOLK FROM THE WEST COAST, ON THE WEST COAST, LOOKING AFTER THE WEST COAST
|What are they thinking about, as an ex Coastguard Watch Officer I know that local knowledge combined with the vast amount of Search and Rescue Skills save lives. Yes in theory the technology makes it possible to co-ordinate all rescues from a single centre, what next, MRCC Delhi staffed by call handlers working from a scripted check list? Technology has its place but cannot replace the highly trained Coastguard who knows the area and all of its meteorological and tidal anomalies, a skill that can only be developed and maintained by working within that area.
|The Northwest corner of the UK is surely a strategic location for a 24Hr station let alone daylight only. If closures must take place surely it is more sensible to relocate to the 'corners' of the country where shipping have to pass whether going North, South, East or West? Obvious to the four 'corners, Stornoway, Aberdeen, Dover and Falmouth. Aberdeen(safe) - vital for Oil/North sea. Dover(safe) - Channel separation system/English Channel. Falmouth - provides worldwide SAR through satellite systems and have a good knowledge of international SAR/Southwestern approaches to the UK. Stornoway - provide cover to the North Atlantic UK SAR area and cover the most remote coastline of all the UK. The Northern and Western Isles should be left with the status quo due to the extremes of weather all year round. Assistance to these areas depends greatly on local knowledge which cannot be transferred to an IT system as things change daily and even hourly in some locations.
|This possibility, if it comes to fruition, would be an act of folly. While it may seem like a good suggestion as discussed in a comfortable office, I rather suspect that the seamen about to enter the North Atlantic or Minch waters as their vessel sinks from under them would hold a markedly different viewpoint.
|As a long standing member of the Stornoway coastguard helicopter crew I believe that the Stornoway coastguard station is a vital link for the west side of Scotland. To have no link is a backward step and will result in difficulties co-ordinating between the auxiliary coastguards, RNLI and the coastguard helicopter. It is imperative that this link remains intact otherwise unnecessary casualties may be the end result of this closure.
|The Atlantic coast from Cape Wrath to Northern Ireland has to be one of the most treacherous sea areas in Europe if not the world and closing a base which covers a majority section seems madness to me.
|The Coastguard Operations Room is not a call centre. Local knowledge is a vital part of this service and its importance should not be underestimated. Their excellent personal relationships with Coastguard volunteer teams, lifeboat crews and other organisations helps them save lives - please don't let us lose this!
|I have spent 36 years in Caledonian Macbrayne serving as Master of the various West Coat Ferries since 1980. I am very concerned that the whole of the West coast of the UK may be left without a Coastguard station in the aftermath of such closures. It may well be the case that technology is advanced nowadays but there is nothing like local knowledge when lives of seafarers are in danger. This local knowledge assists in making quick decisions in dire emergency situations and in my opinion is instrumental in saving lives when minutes and even seconds are of vital importance. I feel that the "need" to have 2 stations in the South of England makes a strong case to have 2 full time Stations in Scotland one East and one West. This would be best served by Stornoway serving alongside Aberdeen to redress the very substantial imbalance the proposed closures and the future plan will cause. The Minches are a vital part of the ecology of this nation and the closure of our local station in my professional opinion will have a potentially detrimental effect on this
|As a leisure boat user out of Applecross I value the Coastguard presence at Stornoway, the local knowledge and experience and the regular weather updates. I would lose a lot of reassurance if it were lost and would be hard to persuade that this constitutes an improvement more than a mere cost saving at the expense of service and in this line of work that could mean lives.
|This proven, cost effective service covers the North West cost of Scotland and the NW SAR region, its contribution and that of its staff to maritime safety and cannot be disputed or underestimated. Knowledge, familiarity, expertise and skills are of fundamental importance in any emergency, the local knowledge, familiarity, expertise and skills applicable to this vast SAR area even more so; given the adverse, time critical scenarios to which this station responds. In these scenarios the things in balance are lives, shipping and the environment , not something easily understood or conveyed in the bottom line of a balance sheet, or political agenda. Any reduction to this service will unquestionably put lives, shipping and the fragile marine ecosystem of this remote and world renowned area at risk, and as can been seen in most maritime disasters the costs of which vastly outweighing any savings potential. These points cannot and should not be brushed aside, failure to address them would further illustrate the lack of understanding and cognisance of the real issues, that preempted this initial decision and exposes it for what it real is, ie hasty and ill considered, driven purely by short term fiscal constraint, rather than properly considered long term maritime and environmental safety.
|It is unbelievable that the powers that be are contemplating closing Stornoway Coastguard. I sailed on the West Coast for 30 years and fully appreciated the valuable service that Stornoway and Clyde Coastguards provide. It was a shock when Oban Coastguard closed a number of years ago and took with them their extensive local knowledge but not to have a Coastguard station on the North West coast is unthinkable. This proposal beggars belief. Perhaps the Government Ministers responsible for the proposed closures should be put in a small boat in the Minches on a dark night in a Force 8. Good luck with your campaign.

Posts tagged: Liberty Lake jobs
Express Scripts Inc., a national pharmacy benefits manager, is cutting back its Liberty Lake workforce by 100 jobs, but plans to leave 200 others in place.
This is the second major job reduction in Liberty Lake announced this week. Earlier, Utah-based Vivint said it will close down its Liberty Lake call center, cutting an unspecified number of positions.
Express Scripts' Liberty Lake office, at 23102 E. Appleway, has been an intake or front-end pharmacy center since the 1990s. Express Scripts, based in St. Louis, acquired it in 2012 by buying the assets of Medco Health Solutions, the original pharmacy benefits manager in that building.
Express Scripts negotiates drug prices for large employers and major health insurers and fills orders for their members and employees.
Express Scripts is the largest pharmacy benefits manager in the country, with 29,000 workers nationwide.
Announced earlier this year, its corporate restructuring will convert the Liberty Lake operation from an intake pharmacy to a customer prescription and insurance-coverage review center. As a result it will need fewer workers, said spokesman Brian Henry.
Starting Monday instead of having 45 registered pharmacists, Liberty Lake will have 36 pharmacists, along with roughly 164 other workers.
Front-end pharmacies receive prescriptions faxed or emailed in bulk from insurance providers, government agencies and others. Those high-volume prescriptions were verified and processed, followed by workers transmitting the prescriptions to company fulfillment centers.
Workers at those sites shipped the prescription drugs to patients across the country.
Preparing for the shift two months ago, the company offered 200 of its 300 Liberty Lake employees jobs within the new division or taking a severance offer. About 100 took a severance package, Henry said.
The other 100 who didn't take the severance will fill similar or different positions in the newly realigned coverage-review unit, he said.

[Final Post] Blog has been migrated to Tumblr platform
Hello Readers,

Doodling is NOT injurious to work
Heard this amazing TED talk a few weeks ago and was just thinking about how people keep up creativity at work after staring at the same desk and computer screen for years. Things change, but something they might not, that's when you have to take charge and change them yourself. And doodling is a fun way to get yourself back in the game, back in action and fill yourself up with that lost enthusiasm.
Do watch it if you ever doodled in your life and if you love your job but are waiting for something to happen to get you motivated.

Seattle's cheesesteak scene gets a look from our Philly native
Nancy Leson surveys Seattle's Philly cheesesteak scene.
Seattle Times food writer
Go ahead, Seattleites, duke it out over who has "the best Philly cheesesteak in town." As a Philadelphian born and raised, I say that honor is in the dual-fisted grasp of the beholder, who (trust me) has a line of grease running down her arm.
So, yo, let's get this straight: This ain't that, ah-ight?
Instead, I offer a look at a quintet of Seattle-born steak shops whose names inevitably come up when folks talk about Philly's signature sandwich. Which, done right, is a marriage of thinly shaved beef, chop-chop-chopped on a flat grill, bolstered with cheese and bound by a crusty Italian roll.
Speaking of cheese: Feel free to order "wit Whiz" — the same stuff you find smothering a heap of cheap nachos — but I find the practice appalling and prefer provolone. As for "chicken steaks" (most places have them): Be my guest, but count me out.
Calozzi's Georgetown
7016 E. Marginal Way, Seattle, 206-762-1777; www.facebook.com/calozzisgeorgetown. Hours: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday.
Fans of Al Calozzi's Pioneer Square shop (closed in January) were cheered to hear the South Philly expat will be slinging steaks in Rainier Square by month's end (look for it at 1306 Fourth Ave., Seattle). Meantime, I found Al at his friendly new Georgetown spinoff, where he's keeping things small, with only four cheesesteak options, a handy walk-up window and a handful of stools at the counter. I opted for "The Steak Sandwich," a classic plain jane (jazzed up with diced cherry peppers), and a pizza steak with mozzarella (lightly sauced with marinara). Verdict: Great rolls. Plenty of (too) finely chopped steak.
The Original Philly's
3019 Martin Luther King Jr. Way S., Seattle, 206-723-7445. Hours: 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Saturday, noon-7 p.m. Sunday.
Loud, unkempt and slow. My order (three half-sandwiches) took more than 30 minutes to fulfill. I should have had a beer. But I later shared the goods with my South Jersey cohort who deemed the meld of meat, cheese and peppers a righteous reproduction of the real deal. Verdict: Call ahead for takeout and have the "Deluxe," stuffed with hoagie-fied garnishes plus mushrooms, peppers and onions.
Philadelphia Fevre
2332 E. Madison St., Seattle, 206-323-1000; www.phillysteakshop.com. Hours: 11 a.m.-8 p.m. daily.
Old-timers remember this place from its heyday, when wisecracking Philly expat (and former owner) Renee LeFevre imported Amoroso's rolls for her steaks, her Philly accent making me feel nostalgic. I still feel at home sitting at the long counter where I can plainly see that the clunky rolls are from Franz. And now that I'm done complaining, I'll insist the young guy who cooked my steaks did so with great care and pride. Verdict: Bring the family, sit in the diner-esque dining room and order a honking "Fevre Special" outfitted with a plethora of peppers and a double dose of beef.
Philly Boys Cheesesteaks
3201 Fourth Ave. S., Seattle, 206-414-7707; www.facebook.com/PhillyBoysSteaks. Hours: 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday.
Philly boy John Schofield is a mechanic turned meat man. As owner of A.C. Automotive, he's the brains behind the Cheese Whiz-colored Philly Boys cheesesteak truck. Formerly parked in his lot, it's now out and about, since John went brick-and-mortar — adding a spiffy little steak-shop where you can fill up while you tune up. Verdict: Stick with the cheesy classic and those fabulous hand-cut fries.
Tat's Delicatessen
159 Yesler Way, Seattle, 206-264-8287; www.tatsdeli.com. Hours: 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday (and three hours before kickoff on Sounders Sundays).
For years I've been carrying on about their Tat'strami sub (think: Pastrami cheesesteak, add coleslaw and Russian dressing), but the few Philly steaks on the long sandwich menu — plus a large selection of Tastykake — gives Tat's the right to hang Philly team jerseys right next to Seattle's. Verdict: Crusty rolls hold the perfect mix of meat, cheese and condimentia. Great atmo for eating in, plus the steaks are so good I downed one for breakfast.

Lake County council looks to cut part-time workers' insurance
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent November 8, 2012 5:04PM
Updated: December 10, 2012 6:24AM
CROWN POINT — About 30 part-time county workers, including public defenders, may lose their insurance benefits April 1.
The Lake County Council is considering a move that would eliminate health insurance coverage for any employee who works less than 35 hours per week. The majority of those workers are the county's public defenders. A handful of others include the council and commission attorneys and members of the Board of Elections, none of whom currently take the insurance. Council members were planning to take action on the measure Tuesday.
Councilmen Michael Repay, D-Hammond, and Daniel Dernulc, R-Highland, said the move is part of the six-point budget reduction plan that council members came up with during this year's budget process. In lieu of insurance benefits, the county would take some of the money it pays for benefits for those employees and convert it to their contract pay.
"It is something that will save our county money," Dernulc said.
Currently the county pays about $18,000 a year per employee for insurance. Officials are considering bringing all public defenders to the same pay rate currently proposed at $28,500. Pay for public defenders ranges from about $8,000 to $23,000 depending on the court and how it has managed its budget.
By eliminating part-time workers from the self-insurance pool, the county will reduce the amount it pays in premiums even with the raise, and the county also will limit its exposure to claims, further reducing costs.
Insurance benefits have long been a perk used by the county to retain public defenders who are paid at a much lower hourly rate for the position than they would be anywhere else.
Ray Szarmach, council attorney, said the ordinance to eliminate the insurance will be the only one considered by the council next week. Council members will then have until April 1 to determine how they would like to further compensate those part-time employees like the public defenders in lieu of the insurance.
He said this is the first step in dealing with the county's troubled self-insurance pool.
"The big picture here is the self-insurance plan must be overhauled," Szarmach said.

FLIFF On Location: Grand Bahama wraps 3rd year with record number of Bahamian films
Actress Joelle Carter was this year's FLIFF Star on the Horizon honouree; and in her company was the legendary drive-in cult classics filmmaker, William Grefe; film actor, director, Diego de la Texera from Puerto Rico; directors, Jayce and Tiffany Bartok; film distributors, Scott Mansfield and Jere Rae-Mansfield of monterey media; and naturalist and underwater photographer, Jonathan Bird.
"FLIFF On Location: Grand Bahama was unforgettable! The hospitality, atmosphere and unique experience will be one we remember forever. As filmmakers, we seldom are allowed to decompress and relax in order to find our creativity again, and this is exactly what happened when we landed in the Bahamas with other like-minded individuals. We established lifelong friendships and learned from the local filmmakers and our hosts. We will not soon forget the generosity that was displayed." - Tiffany Bartok, producer/director
This year's international films offered a rich selection of entertainment. Films featured were: A Perfect Man (Netherlands); Jonathan Bird's Blue World series (USA); Broche Del Oro (Puerto Rico); Chasing Shakespeare (USA); Free Ride (USA); Girl on a Bicycle (France); Little One (South Africa); Sammy 2: Escape from Paradise (USA); The Rocket (Laos); and They Came from a Swamp (USA), as well as a selection of foreign short films.
"FLIFF on Location in the Bahamas was the best film festival we've attended as it had the perfect balance of location, people and hospitality. It was great to see the Bahamas filmmaker competition and hear how it has grown over the past three years. The smiles on the faces of those at the wrap party were wonderful!" - Jonathan and Christine Bird / Jonathan Bird's Blue World
This year saw a significant increase in submissions from The Bahamas, proving that festivals such as this do nurture and encourage the growth of this industry. Two of the Bahamian filmmakers also traveled ti screen at FLIFF in Florida which is also significant for the country.
After the festival closing film, awards and congratulations were handed out by Craig Woods, Bahamas Film and Television Commissioner and Betty Bethel, General Manager, Ministry of Tourism Grand Bahama to the following:
Open Category: Winner, Passage, directed by Kareem Mortimer; 2nd Place, Womanish Ways, directed by Marion Bethel; and 3rd Place, Crave, directed by Bruce Russell.
College Category: Winner, Rhythms of the Bahamas, Brittany Ambrister, College Of The Bahamas; 2nd place, Father May I , Sloan Smith, College Of The Bahamas; and 3rd place, Drip-Color My World , Aryana Joy Roberts, Full Sail University.
High School Category: Winner, Happy 40th Bahamas, George McInnes, Lucaya International School 2nd place, The Good Samaritan, Joanne Petit Homme, Eight Mile Rock High School; and 3rd place, Jane Cartwright , Wiaja Hepburn, Eight Mile Rock High School.
"My hope for Bahamian filmmaking is that people keep doing it, keep pushing the boundaries, and recognize the value in films," said film commissioner, Craig Woods.
"'Three times is a charm' is most appropriate for this year's event as the wrap party on Sunday was symbolic of the growth of this festival," said Bahamas tourism general manager, Betty Bethel. "Year 1 we crept, year 2 we took baby steps, and here we are at year 3, standing firmly on the discovery of young, talented Bahamian filmmakers, who will be the catalyst to re-introducing Grand Bahama Island to the world, as a sustainable movie destination."
Festival organizers wish to thank all those who came out to support the filmmakers and make the festival a success. There is no doubt that film development has the potential to enhance the local economy, and the Ministry of Tourism intends to build on the success of FLIFF and develop a formula that combines attracting film projects as well as leisure visitors to the island. The increased number of local filmmakers and trained crew base present in Grand Bahama Island, and The Islands of the Bahamas, shines a favourable light to encourage more major and independent film projects.
FLIFF On Location is a collaboration between the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and Grand Bahama Island Tourism Board, and was made possible through the generous support of the Pelican Bay Hotel; TheBahamasWeekly.com; Mackey Media Ltd; Bahamas Celebration Cruises; The Grand Bahama Port Authority Limited; Grand Bahama Island Tourism Board; FLIFF; and the Grand Bahama Ministry of Tourism.
More post-event remarks from the international FLIFF filmmakers:
"It's rare that a film festival can bring together such a wonderful group of international filmmakers in such a singularly beautiful place as Grand Bahama Island, but FLIFF On Location: Grand Bahama did just that. Intimate exchanges with Bahamian Filmmakers inspired and put into focus why we create. I look forward to my next visit back to Grand Bahama Island." - Jayce Bartok actor/writer/director, The Cake Eaters, Fall To Rise
"FLIFF on Grand Bahama was simply lovely. I was inspired by the Island and calmed by the laid back lifestyle. Mostly honored to be invited, and so grateful to have met so many creative artists. Thanks to Greg and Bonnie, The Ministry of Tourism, Terrance Roberts, Craig Woods and all involved for there efforts to keep independent film alive." - Joelle Carter, actor and FLIFF 2013 Star on the Horizon Honouree
"Perfection! Thank you for inviting us and showing us the wonderful hospitality of the Bahamian people. The Festival was a hugh success because of all of you." - Grace and William Grefe, director, THEY CAME FROM A SWAMP
"On behalf of Monterey Media and "Girl on a Bicycle" I wanted to extend my thanks and congratulations to the gracious Bahamian people. The beautiful Bahamas' warm welcome was felt via our lovely accommodations at Pelican Bay Resort, colorful entertainment, thoughtful attendees and the most gracious of festival volunteers. We were honored to be included and share our comedy with a truly appreciative audience." - Jere Rae-Mansfield, CFO & Co-Managing Founder, monterey media inc
"It is the best festival in the world!!!! Thanks to all for an unforgettable sojourn in the pristine Bahamas...and especially to Greg and Bonnie, angels of hospitality..." - Diego de la Texera, actor in BROCHE DEL ORO (Puerto Rico)

#3: I'm thankful for my amazing extended family. They're there for the every day things, like kids' soccer games, Sunday dinners, and babysitting, and they're there when life throws a wrench in our plans, offering an ear to listen, a ride home, or a warm place to sleep.
#4: I'm thankful to have a job. Even though there are times I'd rather be anywhere but there, and there are days when I have the rudest customers ever (ahem, yesterday.) But I'm glad to have a way to help my family financially.
#5: I'm thankful to have a roof over my head. We're in the process of moving and the stress of packing up everything we've ever owned is making me realize just how much we have. We're so lucky to be able to buy whatever we want, when we want (within reason, of course.) So, we've been downsizing our things, donating what we can, hoping that someone else can benefit from it.

I had the opportunity to photograph a really sweet (27 year old!) horse named Gigi last weekend. Her owner put out an ad online hoping to find someone who could shoot a few portraits of her, so I was lucky enough to be the one she selected to do the job. When we got there, Adam and I took her out of the stable and walked around, trying to find a good spot. With a little help from the woman in charge of the ranch, we were able to pull her away from the delicious grass she kept chomping on, and eventually got her to pay attention to me long enough to snap some photos.
She was really curious and kept putting her face right up against the lens.
Isn't she the best? Being around horses is so calming to me; I didn't want to leave! Adam promises that we can have a farm someday, so maybe I'll have my very own Gigi in 10 or so years? Here's to hoping... ;)

Cheats, Codes & FAQs
Easily win)
When you finish the game you will be given the option to choose a cheat. Teleportation allows you to move around the ring without being touched. If you choose this cheat simply set the fight to one round and land a couple of punches (be winning at the time) and teleport for the remainder of the match. If you do this you will easily win every match.
Easily win)
If you easily want to stun your opponents (all three weight classes) use the following process. When creating a character simply give him the Body Blaster technique as his special move. During a match throw a couple of punches and wait for the CPU to get close and throw a punch. Use the Body Blaster option and repeat as necessary. In a couple of times (one if you are in the lowest weight class) you will easily stun your opponent and eventually win the match. Also the backhand (elbow) followed by the Body Blaster move is a great move in you are in a tight squeeze.
Construct a better created character)
If you create a boxer remember to set his heart, power, and speed at a high level. Of the three it is most important to set the heart at a high level. If you do this and jab many times it will work rather nicely.
