I have such fond memories of being with my grandparents, Louis & Celina Ollivierre, on Petit Nevis, while the whale was being butchered. There was much commotion as people piled home made charcoal and gathered sticks to stoke the fire pits for cooking the whale meat. The men would butcher and the women would cook. I would hang around the fire near grandmother — I called her Mama — and when I was hungry she would hand me a calabash bowl with a bit of corned whale meat; maybe some cassava farina — farine in the Bequia creole — and corn cou-cou. The meat was cooked in large cast iron pots and my grandmother would spend the day storing the pot. Always stirring.
Watching this 60 minute documentary, I could feel and smell the salty breeze that constantly filled the air on Bequia. Life was simple but it was paradise. I miss it.
The documentary has been been released on DVD and I bought a copy. I am so excited to share some of my family's legacy with my kids.

There are many times when writing when I want a decent picture to complete my post. A a photographer I tend to use my own images. I either capture a new one specifically for that post or I use one from my Lightroom catalog. However, occasionally I don't have anything in my portfolio that meets my needs and I may not have the time to create one.
For many bloggers doing their own photography is a chore. They either lack the time or the skill to create an image that meets their needs. Some turn to sock photography web sites and are disappointed. Many stock photography websites are either too expensive or have nothing but images of staid looking characters in suits.
Inexpensive or free stock photography sources was a recent topic of discussion on the Desk community. There are a growing number of websites offering amazing free stock imagery. Someone started a list of sites that offer free stock images. Some sites on the list were decent but I found many lacking. I did my research and found several site that have free stock images that in my opinion are high quality. These photographs are free from copyright restrictions or licensed under Creative Commons, which means you can copy, change and distribute the images for commercial purposes, all without asking for official permission. Here's my list.
Of course having access to multiple sources of good quality stock images present a new problem. Choosing. With so many images available it easy to get caught up in find the perfect image for your post. When I first tried using these stock image sites I spent almost 30 minutes looking for an image to use on a post that took me almost as long to write. That's not efficient. Why waste thirty minutes of creative time on a treasure hunt? First you have to search the online stock image archives, then download and image. Then you resize and upload to your blogging platform, insert image and publish. This takes time away from writing and increases time to get your writing published. So I came up with a strategy to help with that.
When you have time, when you are not writing, you can visit these free stock web sites and download some of the images that you find compelling. Don't worry at this point how you will use that images. Just download it to a folder on your computer. If you want to be really efficient, upload the images to the media library of your blog host. You might want to categorize the images and add ALT tags and titles. Then when you need an image for a post, choosing will be easier and faster.

Gov't Docs Reveal Canada's Net Neutrality Enforcement Failure 109
from the stop-or-we'll-say-stop-again dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
We have more than 100 years of evidence wrt the effectiveness of regulations.
Are there ANY successes? How do these successes compare to the failures, e.g. the 100s of 1000s of people that the FDA's regulations kill every year via inhibiting the development of new drugs and protecting drug manufacturers from competition and the resulting high prices.
Money buys power in all times and places. So far as I can see, the only way to prevent that is to limit the power of the gov to the absolute minimum that is consistent with civilization. We should be experimenting with that lower edge of gov power, as the "sky's the limit" edge we are on has proven a failure in all cases it has been tried in.
It's very simple: Have the laws on the books, but don't enforce them. That way, congressmen / MPs can go back to their district / riding and announce that they've gotten some law passed to deal with a problem, but your pals in industry don't have to actually deal with the law.
There were lots of laws that the SEC and Federal Reserve could have used to squash down much of the real estate bubble. They didn't use them. After the fact, there were people and organizations who had committed criminal fraud, and the "Justice" Department has refused to investigate them. There were laws on the book that the MSHA could have used to prevent the Upper Big Branch Mine disaster in West Virginia. They didn't use them, despite lots of evidence that the owner of the mine routinely violated the law and then bribed the judges in the state to ensure that they were effectively immune from lawsuits. There are laws on the books saying that torturing people is illegal. A few grunts have been prosecuted for it, but those giving the orders have gotten off without even a cursory investigation.
Sad to see Harper go that route though. I thought the Canadians had more resistance to the blending of corporate and government power that's so prevalent in the US.
How many QA engineers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 3: 1 to screw it in and 2 to say "I told you so" when it doesn't work.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes important improvements to Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D) such as reducing expenses for seniors in the donut hole now and eliminating the gap altogether by 2020. Seniors now receive additional savings each year on their prescription drugs until the donut hole is closed. The ACA also provides additional assistance for low-income beneficiaries. Since the ACA was established in 2010, more than 8.2 million people with Medicare saved over $11.5 billion on prescription drugs.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
RMs of Carter and SFX's resolution passed at AMM 2012 convention
Members of the Association of Manitoba Municipalities recently passed a resolution asking the provincial government to take on responsibility for processing emergency volunteer workers' injury compensation claims.
The resolution was sponsored by the municipalities of Cartier and St. Francois Xavier and voted on at the AMM's annual convention.
SFX reeve Roger Poitras said it was drafted in response to a situation in 2011 in which two volunteers in his municipality and one in Cartier were injured while sandbagging during spring flooding along the Assiniboine River.
The volunteers' compensation claims were processed by the municipalities, and as a result, the rates they pay to the Workers Compensation Board increased.
"We feel that the province should be responsible for volunteer compensation claims," Poitras said.
Because of the claims filed, Poitras said the WCB levy for his municipality rose from 79 cents per $100 of municipal payroll, to $1.07 this year, and will increase to $1.32 in 2013.
CAO Robert Poirier said the cost increase was $1,237 this year and will be $1,156 in 2013. However, a portion will be paid back through the Cartier, St. Francois Xavier and Headingley Emergency Measures Office.
The resolution, along with others passed by AMM members, will be sent to the provincial government.

Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, has said he will be traveling to Cuba again to undergo a third round of radiotherapy in the hope of beating his cancer diagnosed last year.
"Tomorrow night I will again fly to Cuba to continue my battle for my life and health," the Venezuelan leader told state television on Friday.
Chavez made the announcement after spending some time with family members in his native state of Barinas in the west of the country.
He said he will meet with Vice President Elias Jaua, Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro and other members of the cabinet before the departure.
Chavez, 57, who is facing a tough re-election fight this year, is expected to complete five weeks of radiation treatment in Havana, but return home for brief periods during that time.
He completed the first two rounds of treatment in Havana, where he had surgery last month to remove a malignant tumor in the same area where another tumor was excised in June 2011.
Officials in Caracas have never specified the type of cancer the president has, but insist it has not spread to other organs.
Emotional Chavez
However, Chavez broke into tears on Thursday when he went to church in Barinas accompanied by his parents, children and other family members.
He explained later that emotions caused by the proximity of his loved ones had overwhelmed him and he could not hold back tears.
"It was a spontaneous, sentimental thing," Chavez said on Friday. "My father and mother stood next to me. And suddenly we took each other's hands.
"My mom gave me her hand with such tenderness, and dad gave me his ... And because of this tears rolled down my face."
His prior stay in Havana lasted exactly five days, allowing him to head off criticism that he had left Venezuela without permission from the National Assembly, which must authorise a president's absence if it exceeds that length of time.
The cancer comes at a difficult time for Chavez, who is in the thick of what is expected to be a tough reelection campaign. He has ruled out the possibility of a replacement candidate.
Chavez faces a stiff challenge from 39-year-old state governor Henrique Capriles, who was chosen to represent a unified opposition in primaries earlier this year.
Some 18 million Venezuelans will be eligible to vote in the October ballots.

Everton 1 West Ham 0 match report: Returning Romelu Lukaku rides to Everton's rescue
On-loan striker came off the bench after a month injured to land the killer blow and earn Everton the three points
This was a story of two big men. Each began on the bench, each had a chance to win a game that hid under a cloak of mediocrity. Romelu Lukaku took his, Andy Carroll did not.
Statistically, this was a dead cert. Everton had taken more points from West Ham than from any other Premier League club but these had to be dragged from the pitch. Since Lukaku had suffered an ankle injury in the Merseyside derby, the thinness of the resources available to Roberto Martinez had been exposed game by game.
That Everton had been challenging for a Champions League place was a remarkable story, that they were attempting to do so without a specialist centre-forward was quite another.
Had Martinez possessed greater depth in attack, the games at Tottenham and Chelsea that have probably put an end to those Champions League dreams would probably not have been lost. Instead, Everton had to rely on Lacina Traoré, an on-loan forward who had not started a game since October, arrived injured, and broke down again almost immediately.
Lukaku could not have returned quickly enough. This fixture was David Moyes' last after a dozen years at Goodison and, for the first time since what was an independence day of sorts, his successor's progress was being questioned.
But for the after-effects of a chest infection, he would have started against a West Ham side that had won their last four games while conceding a single goal. Mostly, marshalled by James Collins, the kind of no-nonsense central defender that Sam Allardyce adores, they had kept Everton at bay. This was despite first-half statistics that showed West Ham completed a bare 54 passes before the interval – just over one a minute – and had 25 per cent of the ball.
However, aside from one dazzling dance through the West Ham defence from Gerard Deulofeu that spawned a shot the whole Main Stand at Goodison thought had gone in – and which still produced gasps when it was replayed on the big screens – Adrian's goal was not seriously threatened.
Everton attacked more intently after the interval with some lovely interplay between Leighton Baines and Steven Pienaar that finished with Adrian at full stretch pushing the ball on to his post.
Carroll, who had come on after 28 minutes when Allardyce's patience with Carlton Cole's inability to push West Ham out of their own half snapped, unleashed a vicious drive that sent Tim Howard reeling back as he pushed it over the bar.
That, as their manager acknowledged, was the sum total of West Ham's threat, although Allardyce who can sense injustice as keenly as Hercule Poirot could sense a clue, thought Gareth Barry should have been sent off for bringing down Kevin Nolan just outside the area.
"We didn't even get a free-kick," he shrugged. "Everton had their chance, Lukaku put it away and it's a shame. It's cruel this league. Everton didn't really trouble us but they did enough to win this game and at this stage of the season that is all that you want."
Allardyce had just taken off his full-back Guy Demel who, recovering from tonsillitis, was not quite able to last out the afternoon. He had been off the field for a minute when Everton broke through with Lukaku, almost on the penalty spot, meeting Baines's cross fractionally before James Tomkins could block it. Relief exploded around Goodison.
"What pleased me was that we never got emotional, we never got frustrated and we never allowed ourselves to be exposed," said Martinez, who remarked that Lukaku's injury during the 4-0 defeat at Anfield in January was "the best thing that could have happened to him".
That would have caused a severe arching of Lukaku's eyebrows but what his manager meant is that it allowed a man who is still only 20 to take stock of his situation. "He was leading the line for the first time in his career," said Martinez. "He was suffering from the demands of the league and we will see the best of Romelu now that he is fully refreshed."
Everton (4-3-2-1): Howard; Coleman, Stones, Distin, Baines; McCarthy, Barry; Deulofeu (McGeady 73), Osman (Lukaku 59), Pienaar; Naismith (Barkley 85).
West Ham United (4-2-3-1): Adrian; Demel (Reid, 81), Tomkins, Collins, McCartney; Noble, Taylor; Downing, Nolan, Jarvis (Diame 66); C.Cole (Carroll, 28).
Referee: Jon Moss.
Man of the match: Leighton Baines (Everton)
Match rating: 5/10

Holcomb injury reduces Cleveland's options
Kelly Holcomb's injury and Tim Couch's contract may force the Browns to take a serious look at Drew Henson.
When vice president of player personnel Pete Garcia and quarterbacks coach Steve Hagen went to watch Henson work out for representatives of 20 teams, the company line was they were just there because they study all of the good prospects and there was a chance he could be available in the draft if a trade is not reached. But that was before backup Kelly Holcomb had surgery on his throwing shoulder.
There goes Plan B. The Browns were cautiously confident they could get Tim Couch to take a massive pay cut to return as the starter next season. If that strategy failed and Couch had to be released, their fallback plan was to give the job to Holcomb, who has one more year left on his current deal. But the surgery to repair his torn labrum will keep him shelved for four to six months.

The companies also have "mobile cell towers" — trucks that can act as replacement antennas in areas where towers go out and prove hard to restore.
Telecommunications landlines are less susceptible to power outages. The lines carry all the power corded phones need to function, and phone companies have massive battery banks and generators to back them up. Cordless phones won't work without power, though. Phone service from cable companies is also dependent on power, but most companies supply backup batteries to power the phones for some hours in an outage. Verizon's "FiOS" fiber-optic landline service is also dependent on power and backup batteries.

Summer Sailstice News & Stories
Win $250 in March from West Marine
It's March. Spring is around the corner (we hope). If you're not already in the midst of a project we're sure there's a boat project in your not-to-distant future. Boat covers will be coming off, boats pulled out of sheds and the spring buffing begins. This year, along with your boat project you can add a chance to win a $250 gift certificate from West Marine as they've launched a "Do It Yourselfie!" Promotion.
Beware the Tides of March
A thousand years ago, Cnut the Great was a pretty popular guy. He'd not only stopped the Viking hoards from invading England, he eventually became king of the North Sea Empire, which included England, Denmark, Norway and part of Sweden.
Sailing In the City By the Bay
Sailing is fun anywhere, but for location-location-location, it's hard to beat San Francisco Bay. In the summer, this natural amphitheater boasts afternoon winds in the teens or '20s (and sometimes more) every day. And you can't look in any direction without witnessing spectacular vistas, from the Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz to the place sailors call the City Front. The currents can be tricky and wind is chilly, but for most sailors, the challenges only enhance the experience.
Start Sailing Now - Who You Gonna Call?
It may interest you to know that of all the myriad avenues just a phone call away for new sailors – sailing schools, yacht clubs, community programs, dinghy days, local marinas, individual fleets, special events (such as, ahem, Summer Sailstice), and of course family and friends – the first call many newbies make is to a sailing magazine. Especially regional sailing mags, such as SpinSheet (spinsheet.com), the excellent monthly for and by Chesapeake Bay sailors.
IL - Chicago Sailing Celebrates Sailstice
Chicago sailing has been providing access to sailing since 1986 and, as they say on their site, they firmly believe that sailing is more than just sport, it's a way of life. With their commitment and obvious enjoyment of sailing on Lake Michigan it's also great to see them celebrating Summer Sailstice with local partner the Columbia Yacht Club. Here's a pic and story from their site:

Summer Sailstice Words of the Week – Familiar Phrases
Many sailing words have made their ways into everyday language. But you might be surprised at how many phrases you hear every day also came from shipboard life. Here are a few – and pay attention to how many are related to flags. In the days before radio, they were the main way ships communicated with each other and the shore.

Real trivia buffs might even know that Kentucky was the birthplace of, among others, Abraham Lincoln, Hunter S. Thompson and Johnny Depp. What you would likely not hear mentioned much, if at all, is that Kentucky is a terrific place to go sailing.
Kennedy's Childhood Sailboat up at Auction
This looks cool. Beetle Cats are one of the great classic classes from the Northeast and here's one with a unique pedigree - a Kennedy original.
BOSTON, MA – (February 10, 15) John Jr. and Caroline Kennedy's childhood sailboat will be part of an upcoming live auction event by Boston, MA based RR Auction.
New Orleans Home of Sailing Saints.
New Orleans was the site of a gathering of US Sailing 'saints' - the people who are on the front lines of sharing sailing with the youth of America through community and youth sailing programs. The three-day event, called the US Sailing National Sailing Programs Symposium, is a professional development opportunity for anyone who runs or teaches a sailing program.
Summer Sailstice Word of the Week – Lee
Lee" has a myriad of meanings these days – alleys, blue-eyed girls, a brand of jeans. It was a type of medium tank in World War II. And it is a common first and last name over much of the world.
In the sailing world, "lee" has only one connotation – toward or on the downwind side of the boat. Ergo, "leeward" is the opposite of "windward."
The word is thought to have originated from and Old Saxon (and French, and Norse) word meaning, literally, "shelter."
Dinner And A Movie
While sailing is the main focus of Summer Sailstice, doing something 'sailing related' counts, too. For example, last year, Tom Perry was planning to go sailing on his home waters of San Francisco Bay aboard his Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 52.2 with his girlfriend, Barbara. Then again, being a sailing school instructor, he sailed a lot already. So he was open to other ideas.
Our One Bridge Fiasco
San Francisco's 'Three Bridge Fiasco' run by the San Francisco Bay Singlehanded Sailing Society at times resembles San Francisco's sometimes 'loopy' Bay to Breakers Race. A few serious racers mixed in with hordes of people just out for a good sailing parade. With an entry list of 365 boats it was truly a Bay sailing spectacle which, with our ongoing drought, was held in near perfect weather. It had everything but wind.
The West Coast's Wackiest Race - by Scuttlebutt Sailing
Scuttlebutt editor Craig Leweck tells of 'the fiasco' - now with 369 boats signed up to start on Saturday:
If the mission of an event is to maximize participation, the first step might be to throw out the highly refined race management manual. Setting perfect start lines for perfect windward-leeward courses is fine for the hard-core racers, but not as much for the casual competitor.
Pet Projects
Did you catch the news item about the "pet" stingray that entertains visitors to a marina in New Zealand? These days, Brutus attracts almost as many stingray lovers as berthers to Gulf Harbor Marina, on the North Island. One of a group of rays that have cruised the harbor for years, it's only in the last year in a half that Brutus has realized that being really friendly has it perks.
Summer Sailstice Destinations - Hobie Island Club Bulgaria
Wondering what to do for the upcoming Summer Sailstice? In the next few months, we'll feature some fun stuff other people have done in the past that may give you ideas for this year. First up, one of the best-kept secrets in sailing – Bulgaria.
Winter Solstice GoPro Winner!
We had some good entries for our Winter Solstice GoPro Prize contest and the winner is Dana from Seattle!
She shares her tale:
Dark and Stormy Sail
Word(s) of the Week: Starboard and Port
And Therein Lies the Confusion The language of sailing is confusing enough to newbies, but there were times when it was confusing to longtime sailor men, too. Consider exhibits A and B: starboard and port.
Maiden Voyages - Terrific or Terrifying? It's Up To You
Many people new to Summer Sailstice ask the same question: "What exactly do I do?" Our answer is simple: "Go sailing." That's it. On June 20 – the longest day of the year (aka the Summer Solstice), just cast off the docklines and go. It doesn't matter where or for how long. If you sign up on the website here, you become eligible to win some cool prizes.
Other People's Boats - Cruising With TSC, Inc.
Among the early sign-ups for Summer Sailstice 2015 is The Sailing Club, Inc., homeported - sort of - in Morristown, New Jersey. (More on that in a minute.) This will be TSC's second year with Sailstice, and the 2014 plan worked so well, they're going to do the exact same thing this year: On Saturday, June 20, Depart Rock Hall, MD, in chartered boats, head to the Miles River on the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay, and pick a good creek for a raft-up.
Summer Sailstice Word of the Week - Gam
Raft-ups are one of the most popular ways to celebrate Summer Sailstice. Tying a bunch of often-dissimilar boats together in rows – or the ever-popular circle - takes a bit of finesse, but the social and photographic aspects are worth it, even if a bit of gelcoat gets chipped here and there. If you celebrate that way this summer, use lots of fenders and please send photos.
Growing Participation - Midwest Women's Sailing Conference
One of the best things about Summer Sailstice is connecting with all the people and organizations who are introducing new people to sailing. The Midwest Women's Sailing Conference is one of those great organzations and the Milwaukee Community Sailing Center is one of the great facilities.
Solstices – Ours, Mine and Theirs
If you're aware enough of Summer Sailstice to have visited this site, or participated in past Sailstices, you're aware of the simple concept: get as many people as possible out sailing on the weekend nearest the Summer Solstice, which takes place June 20-21 in the northern hemisphere.
Nautical Wheelers
When the founders of Summer Sailstice conceived the idea back in 2001 of getting as many people as possible sailing on the first day of summer - aka the Solstice – they never specified it had to be on water. While the vast majority of participants do partake in boats, last year a group of fun-loving speed freaks folded the Sailstice into their annual Roundup racing series, sailing on a "lake" that hasn't seen significant water since mammoths waded in for a drink.
Tallship Volunteers - If You Come, They Will Build It
Ratty, the resident boat expert in Wind In the Willows, said it best: "There is absolutely nothing half so much worth doing as simple messing around in boats."
So how do sailors mess around in boats when they're not sailing? Well, one way for upwards of 150 folks in and around the San Francisco Bay Area is joining the volunteer crew building the tallship Matthew Turner, currently under construction in Sausalito.
New York Times Sailing Video Report IMOCA Ocean Masters
We're always happy to see positive and inspiring news of sailing in the major media. So, it was terrific to find on the New York Times home page today, November 21, 2014, a feature, 17 minute video of the New York-Barcelona IMOCA Ocean Masters race from reporter, Chris Museler, who was 'embedded' aboard Hugo Boss with American sailor Ryan Breymaier and solo sailor Pepe Ribes - who both teamed up for the double-handed race.
Sailboat Rescue
One of the best opportunities for new people to get into sailing is to visit 'Craig's List' and restore a boat that's been languishing in a field. Yes, it might require some parts, some work and some elbow grease but many of today's sailors started when 'do-it-yourself' was the only way go.
Massapoag Sunfish Fleets Celebrated
The longest day of the summer brought a mixing of finishes in the Sunfish fleet today. For the first time in almost a year, the Laser fleet showed up just to make things interesting. There were extreme wind shifts. There was carnage at the starting line as boats were starting and finishing at the same time. There were number scores and letter scores, a disqualification, and almost everyone who showed up took a first.
Save The Date - 2015
September 23 is the fall Equinox and, for many, the 2014 sailing season is winding down. Read our fall newsletter with a look ahead to planning your weekend of June 20, 2015 Summer Sailstice sailing.
Otherwise we hope you're out sailing today for Bart's Bash or have some other great reason to be on the water this weekend.
Summer Whale Tales from Monterey Bay
Summer Sailstice participant, Esta Lee Albright, sailed his Ranger 26 'Valkyrie' out of Monterey Peninsula Yacht Club to enjoy some summer sailing after the Sailstice. There was much more to enjoy than just sailing:
Burgas Bay, Pomorie, Bulgaria – "Hobie Island Club Bulgaria!"
Burgas Bay, Pomorie, Bulgaria – "Hobie Island Club Bulgaria!"
"Even after a deadly storm in Varna the night before our sailing plans- we firmly decided to sail from Sunny Beach to Pomorie for the annual regatta and take part in Summer Sailstice 2014.
Summer Sailstice 2014 Aboard Sirocco, a 43' J/130
Every year in June our club, Oceanside Yacht Club, schedules a cruise/race to Dana Point, California which is 21 miles north of our harbor. As luck would have it, the 2014 edition of this event fell on the Summer Sailstice weekend. When the club received the notice announcing this year's Sailstice, one of our members entered the club's cruise/race on the event website and we signed up,
Gilligan's Island, Puerto Rico "Hobie Island Club Puerto Rico!"
LOCATION: Gilligan's Island, Puerto Rico
"Summer Sailing Get-a-way!"
Captain Gilberto "Tuto" Rivera said, "We Sailed out to a well-known, offshore area called Gilligan's Island.
It's been amazing being part of a worldwide event such as Summer Sailstice. Coming from such a small island on the Caribbean, makes us feel proud of doing what we love."
Fun First: Second Annual Galiano Sailing Regatta
Summer Sailstice mission is to showcase the full spectrum of sailing which, for just about all participants, is a form a recreation. It's a race, a cruise, an adventure or challenge but as a foundation to it all is satisfaction, enjoyment, pleasure. Summer Sailstice booster, Liz Chandler, passed on a notice of race she received from the Pacific Northwest which goes for the fun first.
We're on a Sailing Mission…Why?
Sailors are the same everywhere and so incredibly different. In a social environment you discover most sailors participate with passion they want to share – often with endless stories at the bar or more often by introducing friends, family and others to sailing. Yet, once they get to the dock, how they sail – race, cruise, tall ship or dinghy tends to splinter them into minute factions with narrow interests to promote. How are they the same?
Winner of Nautical Jewellry

All Day Long - Cruising Compass from the Pacific Nowrthwest
Cruising Compass Editor Andrew Cross recalls Summer Sailstice 2013 as he looked forward to 2014:
Cass Gidley Marina Celebrates With Movie Fundraiser
Cass Gidley Marina, a Sausalito community sailing center used Summer Sailstice as an opportunity to raise funds to support boating access on the historic Sausalito, California waterfront. Sausalito has a long and storied sailing heritage but, like so many once busy waterfronts, many local residents don't have easy access or know how to get from the land out on to the water. Cass Gidley is a new community sailing center helping change that so more people can get out on the water.
East Coast Sailing Association Celebrates with Five Organizations
We thank Joe Coleman for sending in the story from the East Coast Sailing Association.
Sailing Education Adventures in San Rafael Celebrates Their First Sailstice
Sailing Eduation Adventures has been teaching sailing to Bay area youth for over 30 years. Their mission statement, 'Sailing Education Adventures (SEA) is a non-profit community organization dedicated to promoting sailing through affordable instruction and related on the water activities,' has been fulfilled many times over with many alumnae continuing to sail for a lifetime.
Hobie i12s Kayak Winner!
Mark Bewley signed up for the first time to help inspire his family to join him for the sailing celebration. When he signed up Mark said, 'Sail a Hobie Tandem Island with my wife and 3 kids. Never boated before but now I'm hooked. Always looking for new areas to explore along coastal Virginia and NC.' It worked and Mark has now added another Hobie to his fleet by winning the Hobie i12s sailing kayak!
2014 Summer Sailstice Celebration Cruise was a "hail" of a good time.
Read the Hampton Yacht Club newsletter below for the full account of a adventuruous Chesapeake gathering. The Hampton Yacht Club encountered hail, 60 knots of wind, rain and other potential obstacles to a good time. Did that stop them? Not a chance. Sailing celebrations often require some patience, perserverance and optimism. And that's what makes it worth it. Read the tale:

Is It Worth It? - Breast alternative
Breast enhancers are silicone lumps you stuff down your bra to give instant cleavage. Lucy Williams enjoyed the boost
While breast enhancers as fashion accessory are a relatively new phenomenon, originally only available to the elite, it seems that even mere mortals can now embrace the dizzy heights of bounce and uplift. Compared to implants, enhancers come without health risks and can be worn whenever the mood takes you. They may be expensive when compared to the padded Wonderbra, or ever faithful rolled-up-socks, but they are durable, easy to wear, waterproof and won't burst.
Monique enhancers mimic your breast using hypo-allergenic, dermatologically tested medical-grade silicone. What is more, they are covered in a silky film which looks, bounces and - importantly for those first-date blunders -- feels like real breast tissue. However, in a clinch d'amour, it is worth remembering that when the bra comes off, so do the "breasts".
Of course, we're not all looking to make it to DD, and Monique has cleverly provided four distinct shapes, 27 sizes and two colours (and a variety of comedy names) including Push 'N' Up, Push 'N' Out, You Plus (one-and- a-half cup increase) and Push 'N' Plus (three cup increase).
The Push 'N' Up and Push 'N' Out are pink, diamond and oval shaped. In contrast, the You Plus and Push 'N' Plus mimic real breasts with added nipple and aureole. I tested out the You Plus and was surprised by how comfortable they were, and also the way they warmed to my body temperature. In fact, I forgot I was wearing them.
Jill Kenton, the manager at Rigby and Peller, believes Monique's enhancers "are worth the cost because they look so real. Padded bras fade into insignificance, because they look fake." Beneficial for women who need to boost their confidence, and those who want to experience being Pamela Anderson... even if it is just for the day.
Monique is at Victoria Court, 7 Holybrook Place, Glasgow G42 7HB, tel. 0141 424 4042

Initial room was claustrophobic - low ceilings, tiny room not like advertised (got the business executive), nothing executive about it. No hot water in shower. They only let me change rooms the following day. NOTE: The bathrooms do not have a wall, they are glass. I repeat, they are glass. Part of it is translucent, the other transparent. Your partner can be in the room and see your feet dangling from the toilet seat - I don't find that us British are as 'open' in this regard as the French. WARNING: do not order room service, it is outsourced, overpriced and absolute crap. It takes an hour and half to arrive. Find another hotel.

U. of Maryland Didn't Keep Copy of Big 10 Contract
March 25, 2013
The University of Maryland at College Park doesn't have a copy of the contract it signed to join the Big 10, The Washington Post reported. The Post filed an open records request for the contract, and was told that the university didn't have a copy. The Big 10, which is not subject to open records requests, keeps all such copies. Maryland officials said that not keeping a copy was in line with Big 10 policies, which are designed to reflect that most of its members are public universities, subject to open records requests.

It is just as important for your dog to have a regular bathing and grooming routine as it is for him to have a balanced meal, comfortable housing and plenty of water and exercise. Dog grooming supplies, such as various shed control tools, sprayers, bath tubs and dog nail trimmers are available to keep your dog clean, presentable and looking his best. From moisturizing dog shampoo to pet bathing gloves, there are various items that make dog bathing simple and hassle free. There are even dog nail trimmers and accessories that safely keep your dog's nails clean and at a manageable length. Although bathing may not make the top of your dog's favorite things to do, it must be done which is why there is a wide range of dog grooming supplies that cater to the needs of every pooch. Regardless of your dog's age, hair type, size or breed, you will be able to find the dog shampoo and accessories that best suit him and his grooming needs.
Dogs with medium to long hair are prone to matting and tangling, which is why frequent brushing is important. Various dog grooming supplies, such as slicker wire brushes, mat removing combs and detangling conditioners can help with matted and tangled fur. To clip your dog's fur and trim your dog's nails, there are various coat clipper kits and dog nail trimmers available that are simple to use. If trimmed improperly, your dog's nail quick may be cut accidently, which will cause bleeding. Fortunately, there are various styptic powders available to stop the bleeding and aid with healing. While there is dog shampoo specially formulated for various canine skin and coat needs, there is also a variety of towels and dryers to aid in quickly drying your dog's coat after bathing.
Waterless dog shampoo is a great item that keeps your dog's coat clean and conditioned without having to be rinsed off, while there are other shampoos and sprays formulated to control fleas and ticks. To remove loose pet hair around your home, various dog grooming supplies can be used. Meanwhile, removing loose hair on your dog can promote a clean and shiny coat. From special skin and coat massagers, special shower heads and dog nail trimmers, keep your dog clean, happy and handsome using the supplies that best suit his grooming needs.

One strange thing: No book teaches you how to play against 2.f4 in the French
Hmm, C00: French, Labourdonnais variation. Most common next move is 2... d5 (according to http://www.365chess.com/opening.php?m=4&n=209&ms=e4.e6.f4 )
IM pfren
I guess Naka picked 2.f4 against Seirawan mainly to surprise him.
It worked fine, actually, but black's opening play was quite questionable.
kavanam wrote:
It gets one very brief paragraph in McDonald's How to Play Against 1 e4. Vitiugov's book has about a page on it which is the most I've seen in a French book.
Okay thanks for all your recommendations!! Due to my poor decision making skills I have decided to buy Vitiugovs, Moskalenkos (Flexible French), and Antics and Maksimovics books!
Happy reading! This will take you a while. Might I suggest that you start with the Flexible French? Moskalenko's book is very insightful, gives a lot of explanation and is fun to read as well.
Thanks! And I'll never get through all of them.. I think I'm going to compare their views on lines that I'm unsure about, and after that look at lines I find interesting!
Eingorn's "Rock solid repetoire for black" covers most of the French lines you were interested in, and also something against 1.d4 built around 1...e6. Doesn't cover Rubinstein, of recent books think only Vitugov's "French reloaded" does, which you know about already. Vitugov doesn't show anything amazing but it is hard to do so with an opening like the Rubinstein.
lol thats true enough
I think the best book for players looking for an intro to the French is McDonald's 'How to Play Against 1e4.' I have read it and he explains the main ideas and provides a basic but very workable French repertoire. I have a few other books on the French but my plan is to stick with the lines in McDonald's book for 1 year. Then I will add more lines as needed.....kind of like growing into an opening........
I think the best for players looking for an intro, is McDonald ideas. My plan is to stick with McDonalds for 1 year. Then I will add more as needed.....kind of like growing.

See the remarkable, rock-hewn 2nd century B.C. caves of Ajanta adorned with exquisite paintings and sculptures of Buddha and view the impressive temples and monasteries of Ellora, home to the renowned Kailasa Temple.
Formally known as Bombay, exhilarating and charismatic Mumbai is the most populated city in the world, India's financial powerhouse, the home of Bollywood and the setting of the hit film 'Slum Dog Millionaire'.

Rare moon halo on show
Gippslanders were treated to a rare sight in the night sky at the weekend.

The moon was ringed by a halo or corona which is more likely to be seen around the sun during the day time.
Adrian Fitzgerald from the Bureau of Meteorology at the East Sale RAAF base said he was sent a photo of the phenomenon by keen photographers Erin and Rick.
"It's rare for two reasons," Adrian told ABC Gippsland's Mornings program.
"We require cirrus stratus (cloud) for that to occur. That's the high level, light, thin, veil cloud you see during the day.
"That's not a common cloud."
Adrian said the cloud was made up of ice crystals rather than water.
"The ice crystals act like prisms and they defract the light in such a way that you get the ring," he said.
"It's also even more uncommon at night because you need a high moon illumination, so we were close to a full moon on Saturday.
"You had the event of a full moon occurring and cirrus stratus at the same time."
