The goal of the ICARUS program is to provide climate models with sufficiently reliable estimates of radiative forcing by airborne particles so that remaining uncertainties in forcing no longer limit quantitative evaluation of climate change. A prime responsibility of the ICARUS organizational structure would be to ensure integration among field and laboratory measurements, model development, and model evaluation.
Prior to the present report, many studies have been recommended to reduce uncertainties about direct radiative effects of airborne particles and to permit responsible estimates of their indirect effects. Appendix A gives an incomplete, but illustrative, list of such recommendations, generated during the past quarter century. It is our opinion that currently the greatest need is for administrative leadership in executing a program on aerosols and climate. Thus, we recommend both an administrative strategy and a research strategy, because it is our firm conclusion that developing and applying an effective administrative strategy is equally critical to specifying needed research. To accomplish this goal and achieve the needed integration, the following actions are recommended.
Past failure to undertake needed climate-aerosol research has been caused, mainly, by inadequate coordination, stimulation, recognition, and encouragement. What is needed, as a start, is to stimulate U.S. aerosol and climate scientists (generally affiliated with separate agencies) to pull together as a team. Therefore, as a first step in Action Item 1, we recommend that the four federal program managers who requested this report define leadership for U.S. climate-aerosol research by forming a Science Team and an Executive Committee for an ICARUS program.
We expect that these four managers can immediately create this ICARUS program, but, to empower it fully, ICARUS must be organized as a component of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). We therefore recommend that, as soon as possible, ICARUS be recognized as an integral part of the USGCRP. Thereby, no doubt, ICARUS would receive USGCRP guidance for agency representation, Science Team, and Executive Committee membership.
It is appropriate that (1) the ICARUS Executive Committee include government representatives from at least the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

These seem to be the new thing in the US. Not sure if you guys have them in the UK.

Manila City Hall denies being bankrupt
Manila City Hall officials denied reports that the local government was bankrupt and that it failed to remit taxes and employee contributions to PhilHealth, Pag-Ibig and the Government Service Insurance System.
City treasurer Marissa de Guzman said she had written to the Commission on Audit (COA) seeking a clarification about a recent audit report that made such findings as quoted in the media.
In a statement on Thursday, she expressed surprise at the report and insisted that the city "was clearly updated in its payments … up to August 2012."
City accountant Ma. Lourdes Manlulu also said the city had never been delayed or remiss in remitting the taxes withheld for the Bureau of Internal Revenue and other contributions deducted from employees' salaries.
However, a legal staff member of a minority councilor, who asked not to be named, told the Inquirer that she and her colleague discovered that their PhilHealth payments were not updated when her coworker's child got sick and the PhilHealth card was rejected.
She said they had to go to the PhilHealth office to make voluntary contributions.
Ricardo de Guzman, chief of staff of Mayor Alfredo Lim, doubted the news report quoting the COA, calling it a smear campaign.
"Clearly, there is politics behind this. (The news report) said it is quoting the COA website but if you try and open the website, it is 'broken' or unavailable," De Guzman said in the statement.
The Inquirer checked the COA website and after several tries managed to open and download the 2011 annual report on the Manila city government.
Item No. 18 under Significant Findings and Recommendations of the audit report says: "The funds withheld for the BIR, GSIS, Pag-Ibig and Philhealth in the amounts of P237.826 million, P97.664 million, P0.172 million and P20.794 million, respectively, were not remitted on time."
Item No. 12 states that the city's available cash of P1.006 billion is insufficient to cover its liabilities, including the remittances, amounting to P3.553 billion.

Authorities: Bunker of Wash. fugitive surrounded
NORTH BEND, Wash. Authorities on Friday surrounded an elaborate, underground bunker believed to be that of a gun-toting survivalist suspected of killing his wife and daughter nearly a week ago and then holing up in the woods of Washington state.
They pumped tear gas into the structure in the Cascade foothills east of Seattle and heard movement inside, but the dozens of officers were not entering the bunker because they believed its occupant was heavily armed, and that it might be booby-trapped.
Sheriff's officials said later Friday they weren't sure the gas penetrated deep enough to reach the person inside, who they believed was 41-year-old Peter Keller. They also believed the person inside likely has a gas mask.
As darkness fell Friday night, Seattle SWAT team officers arrived to relieve a King County SWAT contingent that had surrounded the bunker.
Photos of the bunker "don't do it justice," SWAT officers told sheriff's spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West.
"They said the fort appears to be amazingly fortified," she said.
While officers got one main hatch open, they believe the bunker has multiple levels as well as multiple entrances, West said.
Keller has not been seen since a fire at his North Bend-area home Sunday led responders to discover the bodies of his wife and daughter. The two had been shot to death.
"It's a very extreme tactical situation," King County Sheriff Steve Strachan said. "Time is on our side. We're not going to do anything rash."
West said evidence found in Keller's home helped authorities locate the bunker, dug 20 feet into the side of a ridge in an area of dense vegetation, at noon Friday. Officers were able to pinpoint the location after enhancing a blurry photograph found on a hard drive in an open safe in Keller's house, she said. The photo included a view from the bunker in which buildings in nearby North Bend were visible, along with a set of power lines.
Detectives triangulated the rough area of the bunker and were confident they had the right location after receiving tips from people who had seen Keller's faded red pickup truck parked at the trailhead, West said.
Two experienced trackers were sent to the area and found tracks that appeared to have been made by someone carrying a heavy backpack.
SWAT teams went into the woods at 5 a.m. and could smell wood smoke from the wood stove in the bunker before they could see it, West said.
The bunker was found at about the 1,350-foot level, several hundred yards due east of a trailhead at Rattlesnake Ridge. It had several entryways and ladders.
"This isn't a hole in the ground. It's an elaborate structure," Strachan said.
Court documents described Keller as a loner who has a survivalist mentality and has been stockpiling supplies in the woods.
An arrest warrant issued Wednesday accuses him of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree arson.
The fire at Keller's home was stopped before the house burned down, and authorities said they found seven gasoline cans placed in different areas of the home.

MUSIC: Truth Be Told -part 1-
by, 3rd November 2012 at 09:52 PM (966 Views)
I'm not quite sure if anyone has heard of this EP, or any of the songs in it, much less the artist. Are any of you familiar with American singer, songwriter, and pianist Greyson Chance? No? If not, well, that's okay - this blog post talks about him, more specifically about his latest work: his EP, Truth Be Told Part 1 (which means his sophomore album is Truth Be Told Part 2).
Yes, I did say "sophomore album." His debut album, Hold On 'Til The Night, was released August 2, 2011 when he was just 14. So, his new EP of his is pretty good - he's finally found his own style, which is just great.
One thing that makes me like his compositions is the meaningful lyrics. All of his songs have deep messages hidden in them - some emotional, some inspirational, but they're all beautiful in general. On top of that, his voice is powerful and just as meaningful. The emotion he puts into the vocals complements the song further. You could hear the effort he puts into his voice; he performs whole-heartedly, giving out his best, pouring out his emotion.
Truth Be Told has these songs: Sunshine and City Lights, You Might Be The One, Leila, California Sky, and Take My Heart. They're all well-written songs, brilliantly crafted. In fact, Michael Warren co-wrote two of the songs - You Might Be The One and Take My Heart.
My favorite from the EP is Take My Heart. It is a song that I can relate to, and the meaning the song has is very sweet and loving. It talks about pouring out all your love for one person, even if you do not have "enough" money. Money isn't everything, basically.
Here's a lyric video of the song. Take a listen if you've got the time :>

|Guy Boucher confirms Dwayne Roloson will start, Sean Bergenheim still questionable
|05.26.11 at 7:17 pm ET
Lightning coach Guy Boucher confirmed Thursday that Dwayne Roloson will be his starting goaltender in Friday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. Boucher has started five of the series' first six games and was pulled in two of them. He made 16 saves in Wednesday's 6-4 win in Game 6 and has just a .851 save percentage in the series. Asked Friday whether Roloson would get the nod, Boucher replied, "yep."
Boucher offered an update on forward Sean Bergenheim, who has nine goals this postseason but has not played since leaving Game 5 with an undisclosed lower-body injury.
"Well, he's seeing our doctors again today," Boucher said Thursday. "He's going to have another evaluation tonight and tomorrow morning. And we'll see, but right now it doesn't necessarily look like something positive for us."

|Claude Julien says he isn't concerned with what Guy Boucher is saying
|05.26.11 at 4:06 pm ET
BEDFORD — One day after a complaint about officiating may have suggested Guy Boucher could be getting to him, Bruins coach Claude Julien said Thursday at Hanscom Field that he is not concerned with what the Lightning head coach is saying.
Boucher called referee Eric Furlatt "lopsided" against the Lightning prior to Game 6 in Tampa Bay, and after a game in which the Bruins weren't satisfied with the four penalties called against them, Julien said that "hopefully what was said [by Boucher] didn't have any impact" on the officiating. Boucher fired back in his press conference by pulling out the box score and counting that the Bruins were penalized less than the Lightning.
After the team landed in Bedford, Julien declined to take the semi-war of words any further.
"I'll tell you what," the coach said. "I've been around this game too long to worry about what's going on on the other side. Right now I'm focused on our team. It's as simple as that."
Game 7 will be played Friday at TD Garden.
|Horton squirts fan, throws water bottle
|05.26.11 at 4:02 pm ET
The internet is going crazy over this video, which features Nathan Horton squirting and then throwing a water battle at a fan, who threw what appeared to be one of the clapping devices given away at St. Pete Times Forum at David Krejci after Game 6.
As has been documented many a time, Horton is one of the friendliest people you'll meet, but when people go after Krejci or Milan Lucic, he loses his mind.
|Bruins land in anticipation of Game 7
|05.26.11 at 3:50 pm ET
BEDFORD — The Bruins landed at Hanscom Field Thursday afternoon as they return to Boston for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals vs. the Lightning. Here are some photos of them landing, taken by an extraordinarily untalented photographer who should probably stick to writing. Either way, here they are. Taken just before interviews took place/were devastated by loud engine noise.
|It's official: Everyone's complaining about Eric Furlatt
|05.26.11 at 12:02 am ET
TAMPA — Bruins coach Claude Julien said he "disagreed" with the officiating in Wednesday's Game 6 loss to the Lightning. The Bruins had five power plays to the Lightning's four, but players and the coach took issue with some of the calls. What made matters worse in Julien's eyes were the fact that the calls came on the very day that Tampa coach Guy Boucher called referee Eric Furlatt "lopsided" in favor of the Bruins this postseason. Entering the game, Furlatt had called 24 penalties on the Lightning, as opposed to nine on the Bruins.
"What was more disappointing is probably the fact that I don't know if I agree with those calls," Julien said when asked about special teams. "Hopefully what was said today didn't have any impact on that, because if it did, I'd be really disappointed. You look back at those, and you get an opportunity to look back at them, and it's really, really tough to swallow."
Boucher fired back in a unique way, actually picking up the game sheet to present his counter-argument when asked about Julien's words.
"Well, first of all, I was asked that," he said. "I didn't bring it up myself. I was asked, and people put numbers in front of me. Those were the facts and the numbers. If you're asking me," Boucher said as he took out the box score and began reading off it, "the power plays are 5-4 for them today, and they were 3-0 for them to start the game in the first period. It was 4-1 for them before we got our other power play, so I don't know, who had the advantage today? We had less power plays than them."
The Lightning went 3-for-4 on the power play, while the B's were 1-for-5. Tampa was called more often, but Bruins players felt the calls against them may not have been legitimate.
"Well, I mean, it seemed like some of them were just makeup calls because we had a bunch of [power plays]," a frustrated Milan Lucic said. "You'd hope it's not the time of year where there's makeup calls like that. You can't let the refs get to you. You don't want them to be difference, and you want to do whatever you can to work past that. We don't want to make excuses because of referees, but then again, we have to do whatever we can to not take penalties."
|Bruins can't close out Lightning despite David Krejci hat trick
|05.25.11 at 10:46 pm ET
TAMPA — The Bruins and Lightning are heading back to Boston to decide the Eastern Conference finals, as a hat trick from David Krejci was not enough to propel the B's into the Stanley Cup Finals — instead, it was a 5-4 loss in Game 6 Wednesday night.
After the Bruins erased an early 1-0 Bolts lead with goals from Milan Lucic and Krejci. Tampa would come back with three unanswered goals before a back-and-forth third period left the B's down by one following Krejci's third goal.
Teddy Purcell did most of the Lightning's damage to Tim Thomas, opening the scoring just 36 into the contest and giving Tampa a 3-2 lead 13:35 into the second period. Purcell now has six goals this postseason, three of which have come this round.
Thomas made 21 saves for the Bruins, while Dwayne Roloson stopped 15 of the Bruins' 19 shots.
Game 7 will be played at TD Garden on Friday.
– Another goal allowed very early for the Bruins. Krejci was set to take the face-off against Vincent Lecavalier and was tossed from the dot, allowing Lecavalier to go against Chris Kelly. The Tampa center won it cleanly, allowing for Purcell to blast one past Thomas. It was the Lightning's second goal in the first minute of a game this series, and third goal in the first 1:09. Amazingly, it was the only game in the aforementioned three that the Lightning won.
– Yes, Eric Furlatt was officiating and the Lightning were penalized more than the B's, but it was Tampa that won out when it came to actually capitalizing. The Bruins' power play looked improved with Zdeno Chara in front, and Krejci scored his second of the game with the B's on the man advantage in the third, but the Lightning went 3-for-4 as opposed to Boston's 1-for-5.
– Once again, the Bruins simply couldn't build momentum at St. Pete Times Forum. After blowing a 3-0 lead in Game 4, the B's blew a 2-1 lead in the second and got no boost from Krejci's goal that brought them within one in the third. Martin St. Louis scored 29 seconds after Krejci's tally.
– Taking an interference penalty with 13:02 remaining in a game in which your team is trying to make a two-goal comeback probably isn't what you want to do if you're Tomas Kaberle. The polarizing defenseman did just that in the corner on a play that left Ryan Malone bloodied. Kaberle actually had a good night defensively, but the penalty won't help his reputation around Boston as a bust of an acquisition.
– Krejci's hat trick gives him five goals in six Eastern Conference finals games. The dominance from the second round hasn't been there, but the numbers have been.
– Say what you want about Lucic disappearing this postseason, but he always smells blood when his team has a chance of ending a series. Lucic had a pair of tallies in Game 4 against the Flyers in the second round last year, and had three goals in Games 6 and 7 combined against Philly last year. Taking Games 6 and 7 against the Habs this year into consideration, Lucic now has 6 goals in the last six games in which the Bruins could eliminate an opponent.
– Dennis Seidenberg had a big play for the Bruins on a play in which the Lightning could have made it 4-2 late in the second. A Marc-Andre Bergeron shot yielded a rebound that Steven Stamkos tapped toward the net with Thomas out of position. Seidenberg literally put his foot down, stepping in front of the puck before it could hurt the B's and starting a circus that landed Andrew Ference in the box for cross-checking Stamkos. The Lightning would score on the power play early in the second period on a goal from Stamkos, thus making the transaction a wash.

My GardenII
The garden is doing well but I just had a depressing set back today. I just noticed that my first ripe tomato has been partially eaten. I decided to let the tomatoes ripen on the vine. Last night or today, it finally completely ripened and just a moment ago I looked and about 4/10's of it have been eaten away. I suspect a squirrel. I've read that they will do that and some people are of the opinion that it is to quench thirst, i.e., the water. This tomato is very large, I'd say a little bigger than a baseball but not as big as a softball.

Letter: Kane transportation department commended for Bliss Road work
Thank you to Kane County's Division of Transportation's John Guddendorf, and the many different crews working with John, for the excellent road work done on Bliss Road starting just south of Interstate 88 and extending past Bliss Woods Forest Preserve.
John kept the community informed throughout the entire project and listened to what each resident had to say about the job. The crews all worked hard in some pretty hot weather, kept delays to a minimum, and kept a safe and clean roadway at all times.
Thank you to John and to all involved in this project for proving that local government can get the job done quickly, efficiently and leave us with a beautiful roadway.

Adobe sneak peeks amazing "de-blurring" plug-in for Photoshop
By Vincent Rice
October 11, 2011
Adobe showed what it calls a "sneak peek" of some technology at last week's MAX conference, that may or may not make its way into a future version of Photoshop (we're pretty sure it will). It's a method for de-blurring photographs by analyzing them and constructing the motion path that the camera lens followed to create the original blur. Using some highly advanced magic, the resulting blur can then be removed to an impressive degree - blurred text, for instance, becomes readable.
The algorithm seems to work on low resolution phone pics just as well. Now, when they say "enhance that section right there" in just about every modern police procedural TV show, it might actually mean something.
Peter Elst captured the "sneak peek" presentation in this video:
So all those CIA, MI5, etc. spy movies were correct all along!Astroyny
Stunning plaugin!Kirill Belousov
Now you can find out the license plate number of the Jerk who almost wiped out your writer!!!Jason Woods
Would be nice if the before and after images were available to show the improvement.
This reminds me of how the FBI un-swirled the face of a pedophile and used the corrected photos to catch him. He figured the using the swirl effect on his face would make it impossible to identify him. If he\'d spun it a bunch more or simply used the smudge tool to mess it up more it would have been impossible to un-do the swirl.
They went public with the corrected image as a last resort because the FBI didn\'t want to reveal it was possible to do that.Gregg Eshelman
Still, you won\'t be able to read the license number off the plates of a car in a photo that\'s 10 by 10 pixels wide :)Doru Negru

Tom Baker talked about his book The Medical Malpractice Myth, published by University of Chicago Press. In the book he argues that the real problem with America's medical liability system is too much medical malpractice rather than too much litigation and that recent rises in medical malpractice insurance premiums were caused by economic cycles instead of increasing claims. He criticizes proposed and implemented liability reforms and offers an alternative in the form of evidence-based medical liability reform that seeks to decrease the incidence of malpractice and also protect doctors from rising premium costs.
Following his remarks, Professor Baker was joined in debate by a panel moderated by Professor Klick. Using charts and graphs, the panelists discussed topics including increased litigation rates, payouts, and jury verdicts in malpractice suits. After their discussion, the panelists responded to questions and comments from members of the audience. close

One of the greatest skills that a jewelry designer can develop is restraint. With the overwhelming array of amazing beads, findings, and components that are readily available, I have found that the most difficult part of designing a new piece is choosing just a few of these items to use. I am always tempted to use as many of them as I can! At times like these I have to remind myself that sometimes the most striking pieces (and most of the pieces that make up my own jewelry collection) are ones that only use a few different components, and allow the materials to carry the design. I just finished the necklace pictured at the bottom of this post and realized that it is a great example of an instance when less really is more.
I found these natural agate gemstones from Rings & Things in our stash and immediately fell in love with them.
The organic look of their unfinished edges and the high sheen of their polished facets makes for a naturally stunning combination. Since these details could easily be lost in a busy design, I knew that I would need to limit myself to choosing just a few simple materials to pair them with. I dug up some fire agate pebbles from Bead Trust and a dainty glass-pearl chain from MK Beads. A few wrapped loops later--voila:
I had enough of the pearl chain to leave the necklace fairly long. I like the dramatic effect that the length lends to the finished design--and not needing to fumble with a clasp in order to put it on is definitely an added bonus!
I might have to debut this necklace at happy hour this evening!
Until next time,
love the necklace, sometimes its hard to leave the materials alone and not make it too busy- simple is sometimes the best
Love this! So simple!!!

HARROD – Allen East is coming off a 4-6 season (2-6 in the Northwest Conference) and is looking to take it to the next level in 2014.
"We only have 13 returning letter winners," Allen East coach Mike Abbey said. "But, a lot of those guys played on both sides of the ball. We have to replace Ross Stewart our fullback. We have a couple guys vying for that spot. So, that's probably the main spot we have to fill."
Last season, Stewart was a workhorse for the Mustangs, rushing for 1,508 yards on 240 carries and 17 touchdowns.
"We lost a couple linebackers also," Abbey said. "But our strength is probably our returning linemen. We only lost one lineman from last year. So, that should be a strength for us."
Senior Jacob Sherrick (6-foot-3, 285 pounds) is one of those returning linemen.
"We have a good, solid core coming back — me, Garrett Heuerman (6-3, 292, Sr.) and Travis Wireman (5-10, 190, Sr.), three seniors, who all have started three-plus years," Sherrick said. "We have a lot of experience. We have another guy coming in, junior Austin Louth (6-0, 265). He looks to be real solid. So, we have just one spot to fill. We know it (the offensive line) is going to be our mainstay and will be solid every night."
Heuerman feels the Mustangs can compete in the upper echelon of the NWC.
"We only had one guy who graduated last year (on the offensive line). We're looking for that to be our strength this year," Heuerman said. "That's where we would like to be. The NWC is a very tough league. The teams that are going to be at the top will be at the top. We're hoping to be in the mix this year, definitely."
Allen East will also have its signal-caller back, Tanner Stippich (6-1, 171, Sr.). In 2013, Stippich completed 28 of 65 passes for 463 yards, four TDs and two interceptions.
"He's a senior this year. He had a great summer and should have a nice season," Abbey said about Stippich.
Allen East has traditionally been a running team over the years. However, the Mustangs look to be a threat in the air as well.
"We might look to throw it around a little more this year," Stippich said. "We really worked hard at it (passing) this summer. So, we're looking to improve on that part of our game this year."
Despite having its quarterback and most of its linemen back, the Allen East coaching staff still faces the huge task of replacing Stewart in the backfield.
"Logan Schick (6-1, 181, Jr.) looks like he might be right there (to take Stewart's spot)," Abbey said. "He had a knee surgery last year. The other guy is Izak Ackerman (5-10, 200, Sr.). He actually played guard last year when we had a guy blow his knee out. He's going to try his hand at fullback this year. We have a sophomore, Johnny Brinkman (5-9, 185), a big, strong kid. So, those are the three that are looking to fill his shoes."
The halfback positions could be filled by several different athletes. Spencer Miller (6-0, 180, Soph.), Caleb Smelcer (5-9, 147, Soph.), Trevor Smelcer (6-0, 167, Sr.), Cody Musselman (5-8, 146, Jr.) and Johnny Brinkman will all have an opportunity to play at the halfback spots.
Allen East will stick with the hybrid Wing-T offense with plenty of motion in the backfield.
Abbey is hoping his underclassmen can find their roles and contribute right away.
"We have 16 freshmen and 16 sophomores. So, we have a couple really good classes of underclassmen," Abbey said. "We have eight seniors this year. They're great leaders. This is their fifth year with me. I coached junior high football when they were eighth graders and I've been the head coach now for four years. I know them and they know me quite well."
Defensively, the Mustangs will employ a 5-3 look.
"We're pretty much a 5-3. It's more of a run league now," Abbey said. "If you don't stop Bluffton's run or Ada's run, even though they run a spread, they'll run it down your throat."
The numbers are up and the enthusiasm is running high at Allen East.
"We've had a really nice summer," Abbey said. "We had 36-40 guys out here everyday for lifting. We have 50 on the roster. So, this is the first time in many years that we've gotten to that 50-mark."

More than ever I feel the need of having Thee close to me. "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong. Corinthians 12:7-10
Monday, 29 August 2011
And for my next trick.......
1 comment:
I simply accept Church teaching on these matters. I am blessed to be affirmed as a woman, in spite of any attacks the world and the church members have thrown at me.ReplyDelete
However, some women seem to take on board not being able to have the man's role as a personal rejection, the deeper fear being that maybe God himself rejects them.
If a woman's true value in God was affirmed at a public level in the Church, I think all the fighting about being a priest etc would fade away.
Put it this way, what Our Lady has given to me, I wouldn't swap for all the tea in China (and I am particularly partial to tea).
Mary will tell a woman and a girl, who she is, in God's eyes. Unlike the flattery of a man or the esteem of position, this inward affirmation of your being, will not fade or tarnish like worldly trophies.
Seek it. It's there. Don't miss out, all that glitters is not gold, as the bible says.
And you men! Meditate on what you find least pleasant to be teased about. Whenever you next mock or join in with other's mocking (especially priests) of women and they show hurt feelings, don't poopoo this. Think how you might react in a similar position. Remember you are aware of your value, some women are not. Make them aware. You are responsible, as God's other Christ's on earth(if you are ordained etc). Ask Our Lady to protect them. Fast for them. Love them as Christ does.
Now everybody get on with it. Oops! Did I just type that out loud?

Playing it Straight making a return
Anyone remember this incredibly trashy yet highly addictive show from 2005? It was a cowboy themed dating show hosted by June Sarpong where if the woman chose a straight man in the end the two of them would walk away with £50,000 each. However, if she chose a gay man she'd get nothing and the gay guy would get it all. I just remembered it earlier today so did some online searching for it and it seems to be making a return after all this time!
It's now hosted by Jameela Jamil, narrated by Alan Carr and is on E4 instead of Channel 4 (makes sense I guess :D). It starts Monday 9th of January.
Anyone else remember this show? Excited for it's return? It seems the theme has changed to a Spanish one as well.
Oh yes, total trash and I loved it!
"It's time for you to leave the Hacienda ... but before you go, I've got to know ... "
I remember it totally! Thought it was great.
I even mentioned it in The Bachelor thread earlier this year :D
Complete and utter rubbish but enjoyably so :)
The 2005 series is available on 4od/youtube and have watched the first 3. Some of the guys are absolutely smoking hot (The two Danny's, Ben and Marco to be precise). Am hoping that's going to be a main draw for this series as well :D.
As a gay guy as well I should really be offended by the concept of the show. It reinforces gay stereotypes to the extreme, in some ways mocks the seriousness of coming out and portrays the gay contestants as sleazy little game players as opposed to the straight ones who are "in it for love". But I really don't care, absolutely loving it!
I find even the concept offensive, tbh. Whether it's 'enjoyable' or not is irrelevant.
Watched the last few as well, it has an absolutely hilarious ending. Would definitely recommend :D.
Would also like the singing man/bard/whatever to make a return. "Is there something about..."
Just seen the advert for it on E4. 9pm Monday as mentioned above.
I remember the first one and parts of the US one.
Cheap, tacky yet light entertainment. :D
Must be better than Sorority Girls though.
Bump. It's on now on E4.
Watching :D
None of them have appealed to me so far, ha...
I think most of the gay-looking ones will turn out to be straight (like last time) :D
Loving this already. Cheese at its finest. :D
So glad they kept the hacienda theme and the bloke singing at the start!
My initial predictions are:
Fletcher - Straight
Sam - Gay
Levi - Straight
Sven - Straight
Filippo - Gay
Kyle - Straight
Dean - Gay
Danny - Gay
Leroy - Gay
David - Straight
Andrei - Straight
Wonder how many I'll get right. :p
Who's the guy in the dress? I reckon he is trying too hard...
- Levi (Gay)
- Kyle (Straight)
- Sven (Gay)
- Danny (Straight)
- Leroy (Gay)
- David (Gay)
- Fillipo (Straight)
- Dean (Straight)
- Andrei (Straight)
- Sam (Gay)
- Ben (Straight)
Reckon one of the twins will be straight and one gay (and am hoping for an elimination where they are the last two left and she has to choose)
So far I like the woman more this year than in the last series. I can't even remember the woman in the American version but some of the guys were really, really hot. :)
I've got to say that the girl Cara isn't all that pretty imo. I thought they would have found a girl a little more pretty. :o
I knew Filippo would turn out to be straight :) Same as last year - the super 'gay' one turned out to be straight!
I didn't think the second guy would turn out to be gay! :D My gaydar is not good.
I wonder why Fletcher left. Perhaps he was gay but had second thoughts about revealing it on TV? I wish they had told us. :(
Ahhhhh, Bradley from the US one.... :D
Alan Carr was fab on it. :D
Fletcher - Gay
Sam - Straight
Levi - Straight
Sven - Gay
Filippo - Gay
Kyle - Gay
Dean - Straight
Danny - Gay
Leroy - Gay
David - Gay
Andrei - Straight
I know one of the twins so here's a spoiler:
Sam is gay. He's also one of the most vile, horrible people I've ever met in my life. Was quite funny seeing him on this show as he's nowhere near as nice as he comes across on tv. The big shock...his twin brother Ben is also gay. This is where I think she'll mess up as I bet she's expecting one of them to be gay and one of them to be straight.

Tullian Tchividjian
When a lot of Christian's think about "spirituality" they tend to think of it monastically, individualistically. In fact, in his…
For every head-scratching page that Robert Capon writes, he pens a a mind-blowingly insightful one. Some of the best paragraphs I've ever read on grace come from Capon. As far as I can tell, he holds some wild ideas about the atonement. So, as with anyone, you have to discern the meat from the bones. But it's worth it. The following paragraph on preaching made me sing:
I think good preachers should be like bad kids. They ought to be naughty enough to tiptoe up on dozing congregations, steal their bottles of religion pills…and flush them all down the drain. The church, by and large, has drugged itself into thinking that proper human behavior is the key to its relationship with God. What preachers need to do is force it to go cold turkey with nothing but the word of the cross–and then be brave enough to stick around while [the congregation] goes through the inevitable withdrawal symptoms. But preachers can't be that naughty or brave unless they're free from their own need for the dope of acceptance. And they wont be free of their need until they can trust the God who has already accepted them, in advance and dead as door-nails, in Jesus. Ergo, the absolute indispensability of trust in Jesus' passion. Unless the faith of preachers is in that alone–and not in any other person, ecclesiastical institution, theological system, moral prescription, or master recipe for human loveliness–they will be of very little use in the pulpit.
May God raise up a generation of preachers who storm the the gates of worldliness with "It is finished."21 Comments
What powerful words! May God give us the bravery to own the foolishness of the cross alone! God help us!
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
It's also perfect for the 'yeah butt"-ers, and the 'how-to' ers.
After all, "you just can't live any way you want, can you?" (as they do anyway)
Yes, this might make it easier for those of us "grace/gospel convinced" individuals to find the right church!
I know, just as we're not perfect, there are no perfect people or churches -but to be in a church on the right footing, so that law and grace or mixture aren't alternatively preached each week, sounds amazing. (… and in any church or person, there is good! just gets tiring sorting thru all the time).
And he prayed to himself ' I thank you that I am not like the 'yeah butt'-ers and the 'how-to' ers, that I am not like those who don't have the gospel the right way I do. I am thankful that I take the sacraments twice a months and I go and sin boldly.'
Boo yah!! Capons view of the parables are fantastic!
I too, am thankful that I know (by God's grace) that I am a sinner and am not on the spiritual/ladder climbing project with the 'yeah-butt ers. And that I'm able to return to my baptism, daily. And that the Lord gives me forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation, in the sacraments!
Thanks be to God!
Oh those peaky sacraments.
Maybe Jesus should never have commanded them for us. (?)
What powerful statements by Robert Capon. I just couldn't agree more. He really nailed it. It is my desire that all the legalistic and moralistic do-more-try-harder-preaching of those who think they understand law and grace but in fact don't be crushed and burnt by the holy blood-drunken flames of the it-is-finished-gospel, for the glory of HIS kingdom!
[…] Preachers Should Be Like Naughty Kids by Tullian Tchividjian […]
Need the gos pill
The difference between grace and glory may not be as great as one might imagine. The nature of both is the same. Grace is glory in the bud; glory is grace in the flower. The Christian, therefore, has something of heaven now. God purifies the streams by, regenerating the fountain. I watched the recent sermon today on But… God pt.2 That was a Holy Ghost moving attention get'r. I mean if the people in that congregation didn't feel the Holy Spirit moving in that place then maybe you should get an assurance call an ask can I get a amen! I can tell you it really had an impact on me. I was there at the beginning of this series an try to make there as often as I can but…I admire you on your "getting involved" tactics, very admirable and one is certainly not slack here as one might think. I did go there just to see what goes and maybe meet you in person but…The other day I was listening to Irwin Lutzer and you would think you guys were trading notes. He also said verbatim …it's not about us it's all about Him, couldn't help but think of you and I think you made that point quite clear in your last sermon. well enough said… know that I pray for you and yours.
For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you. James
Because of Love
If you preach about the Cross
It will never bring a loss
Since the Man on the cross
Is the only saving boss
Out of love He was cursed
Tortured at the very worst
Passion made His body burst
Resurrected He's the first
Who calls out for the One
And depends on the Son
May be sure the deed is done
Cause the race's already won
Please don't stop "singing the gospel", Tullian

Sounds all well and good, but do these naughty children preachers know the difference between the Cross and worldliness?
[…] Preachers Should Be Like Naughty Kids – Tullian Tchividjian pulls a great quote which, I think, challenges preachers to be willing to make the tough leadership decisions in stimulating their congregations out of complacency. The beauty is in the analogy, and if I describe it to you it will give too much away. Just trust me… this is worth a read. […]

Enter the dream-like world of Coastal Cabins
Coastal Cabins are a young indie rock group out of Minneapolis composed of Jack Ross and Robert Marston. The duo just released their self-titled debut EP last week. Its delicate arrangements and rich vocals immediately caught my attention. Ross and Marston are students at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, who met in high school and bonded over their shared love of music and songwriting while working at a grocery store together.
Their sound belies their youth, and their songs have graceful depth that is refreshingly rare for a debut -- especially when you consider they recorded it on their own and self-produced the material as well. It's easy to imagine hearing a lot more from Coastal Cabins in the near future. Gimme Noise is happy to spotlight these talented young musicians and their story, as well as their gorgeous debut EP.
Gimme Noise: So how did you two meet, and how long did it take for you to start making music together?
Jack Ross: We met early on in high school, but became friends while both working at a local grocery store. We had talked about music with each other, and after learning that we were both writing our own music we thought it would be a good idea to start collaborating.
Robert Marston: It's hard to say how and when it all really started. When we were somewhere around 15 we started writing together. At the time we didn't necessarily think it would turn in to anything. "In a Glass Dream" was actually one of the first attempts we ever made at a complete song. The original song itself was thrown away but we kept the name for our EP for a little bit of personal nostalgia.
Many of the songs on your debut EP began as home recordings -- what were those initial sessions like, and how easily did those tracks take shape?
JR: I had been recording things on my own since I was about 12, and that's always just been the natural way of doing things, for myself at least, when it comes to making music. I had been recording things at different times for different songs on the EP, just adding parts as I went. There was never any structured time or "sessions" for any of the songs, basically when I just felt inspired enough to record a guitar part or a drum part, whatever was ready to be recorded at the time, I would do it. All of the tracks on the EP took shape this way, just adding things as I went until I felt each song was complete.
RM: I had never done any serious recording until we started working on this EP. I had fiddled around with some different software and such but never had the ambition to make something complete. The creative parts of the project were all fairly balanced, but the production side was almost entirely Jack. But hey, I'm learning.
How long have you been working on the five songs that make up your debut?
RM: We started writing "Fourth Street" almost two years ago now, of course the song grew and changed as we started to figure out who we wanted to be as musicians (not that we really know), but the basic ideas of the song are all the same. The gap in time between some of the writing definitely contributed to the different vibes that come through on certain tracks from the EP and it was something that we thought about a lot, even sort of worried about as we started wrapping things up.
JR: The bulk of the EP was written the past few months, since about April when we started recording things with the intention of creating this EP. Most of it just came together as we went, as sort of a continuous writing process, but other things came together rather quickly. Funny story, we had started writing another song that we had always intended to be on the EP, and I had recorded an acoustic guitar track for it back in May. But as time went on, we had focused most of our energy on the other songs and kind of just left that song to be figured out near the end of recording this EP.
However, as we approached our final mixing session near the end of July, we still had no lyrics for this song and we just didn't know what we wanted to do with it. We tried out a couple different approaches, but nothing was working and we didn't want to force it. So we ended up just saying screw it, let's write something new, which is how the opening track "Beach" came together. That song was written and recorded in about a day (the lyrics came from a different song I had written back in high school), and we recorded the vocals just hours before our final mixing session. Sometimes pressure becomes the best motivator, and that song ended up being the first song on the EP. I got about two hours of sleep that night...
How did your material evolve once you headed off to Luther College? Did having the Jensen-Noble Hall of Music at your disposal help these songs grow in scope and depth?
JR: Things evolved quite a bit once we were at Luther. That's sort of how the idea came about to expand our sound by adding instruments such as trumpet, saxophone, and cello. We had met so many talented musicians that it really wasn't hard to say, "Okay, well I know so-and-so and he's awesome at trumpet, let's try bringing some trumpet into this song." Having Jenson-Noble at our disposal was a huge privilege, we recorded all of the piano on the EP (notably on "In a Glass Dream," where we both played two grand pianos side by side) there. Honestly, just being surrounded by such a strong musical environment there had the greatest effect and influence on our sound, it gave us the opportunity to expand beyond what we had available to us at home.
Luther prides itself on having a strong, world-renowned music program. How has that environment enhanced and encouraged your musical ambitions as well as your sound?
RM: I actually enrolled at Luther to study music, and I'm fairly set in my ways. I'm a choir geek, and the program there is perfect for me. All that being said, whether you're into choir, band, or indie rock the culture surrounding music down in Decorah (where Luther is located) provides you with an outlet for it. There are tons of crazy talented people, and it forces you to better yourself. Not only that, but in a place like that you're constantly talking with people about new music that you've heard, and it opens your ears to a lot of cool new tunes that can be inspiration for a song of your own down the road.

AyurNatural Beauty Announces the Addition of Several New Items to its Lineup of Ayurvedic Products
The e-commerce site added the new products in response to the growing trend of online shoppers seeking natural remedies.
Cape Coral, FL (PRWEB) August 28, 2013
AyurNatural Beauty, a website that specializes in selling top-quality Ayurvedic products for the hair, face and skin, has just announced that it has added six new items to its already-expansive line-up of products. For example, Tropic Isle Living's Cerassee Bush Bath and Shower Gel is one of four new shower gels that is now available from AyurNatural Beauty; a leave-in conditioner and a hair moisturizer were also just added to the company's inventory.
Clay Russ, owner of AyurNatural Beauty, says he decided to expand his inventory due to the growing trend of online shoppers who are seeking natural remedies. Women today are in search of affordable alternatives to overpriced cosmetic brands and ineffective treatments for their everyday ailments, he notes, and online beauty and health forums provide additional insight into the needs of these women.
Clay says he pays special attention to these forums because the candid exchanges help to show exactly how natural remedies are quickly becoming a viable alternative to traditional health-care and department store beauty products.
For example, one of Clay's customers, who frequents a forum specializing in hair growth tips and other cosmetic advice, shared how she used natural products to solve her daughter's skin problems. "My [daughter] had a rash on her arms, legs and face a few weeks ago…I didn't know what to do for her, then it occurred to me to use the Neem powder…Rash was gone overnight and never came back. Absolutely amazing!" For the forum poster, and for many other women, accessibility and remedies that are void of harmful side effects are primary factors involved in their decision to select natural remedies, including Ayurvedic products.
"These products cost so little, yet have provided wonderful results to many," said Clay. "That's why I wanted to be sure that these ingredients were accessible at prices that most women could afford." Clay also went on to say that many women are also faced with rising health costs which has lead them to actively search out alternative solutions for their health problems.
In the U.S. alone, the natural and organic market grew from just $190 million to $318 million in less than 10 years, according to Policy Innovations, an online magazine on global trade and commerce. The Internet helps bring rare and largely unavailable products to the doors of many people who would have previously gone more traditional routes. In addition, the wide range of products and their varied applications may also account for the phenomenal growth the industry has seen.
Luni Latortue, a forum participant and another one of Clay's customers, uses a popular import from India as a natural alternative to coloring her hair. "I just used the Indigo powder…and it's the best I've ever used. It rinses out very cleanly." As an online retailer, Clay says that fast shipping and attentive customer service helps him put his customer's reservations at ease and it also allows him to introduce them to more natural and organic health and beauty products.

A Cloudy, Cool Afternoon, Some Rain Tonight
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) – Clouds will thicken up this afternoon with maybe a sprinkle or flurry but we should stay mainly dry. Temperatures will reach into the lower 40's for highs.
Rain will begin between this evening with a few brief burst of moderate or heavy rain then wind down during the wee hours of the morning. Most areas will pick up about 1/4 to 1/2″ of rain. There may be a bit of wet snow mixed in far northern and some elevated locations could see a coating – 1″ of snow with the highest amounts in the hills north of Route 2. However, this storm is mainly rain as a southerly flow takes over.
Clouds will be followed by some partial sunshine tomorrow. An isolated pop-up shower or two is possible during the afternoon tomorrow as spring begins. The vernal equinox is tomorrow afternoon at 12:57 PM! Tomorrow will actually feel like spring with highs near 50!
Friday looks bright and a bit cooler. After highs near 50 tomorrow readings will stay in the 40s on Friday.
For the big weekend ahead in Holyoke, another weather system will track to our north Saturday. This means rain showers develop Saturday morning and last, off and on during the day that should end sometime Saturday afternoon. Highs Saturday will reach close to 50. It will only rain briefly and will NOT be a washout. Most of Saturday it will not be doing anything. Clouds clear Saturday night as it turns brisk and cooler. Right now, we can expect a mix of sun and clouds for parade day Sunday. It will become quite blustery during the day with a passing flurry possible. Highs will be near 40 but wind chills stay closer to 30 throughout the day!
Have a great afternoon!

NEW YORK (AP) — The underground acrobats who flip, somersault and pole-dance among New York City subway riders as trains roll are drawing a new audience — police officers.
New York City police to subway acrobats: Sit down
The New York Police Department is cracking down on the subway showmen who use the tight quarters of the nation's busiest transit system as moving stages for impromptu — and illegal — pass-the-hat performances. More than 240 people have been arrested on misdemeanors related to acrobatics so far this year, compared with fewer than 40 at this time a year ago.
Police Commissioner William Bratton acknowledges he is targeting subway acrobats as part of his embrace of the "broken windows" theory of policing — that low-grade lawlessness can cultivate a greater sense of disorder and embolden more dangerous offenders.
"Is it a significant crime? Certainly not," Bratton said recently. But the question is, he added, "Does it have the potential both for creating a level of fear as well as a level of risk that you want to deal with?"
The subway acrobats say they're just out to entertain, make a living and put a little communal levity in New York's no-eye-contact commuting.
"We all, as New Yorkers, get these force fields around us. We just try to go inside the train and change the vibe," said a performer named Besnkheru, who, because of the crackdown, spoke on the condition that his full name not be used.
Hopping on and off trains one recent afternoon, Besnkheru sang to amplified recordings ranging from Michael Jackson to Latin jazz while his performance partner, Domingo, danced, clowned and used the car's bars and poles like playground equipment. Sometimes, he dangled upside down with his head within a foot or two of a rider's face.
The pair got some glares but many smiles — some from passengers who initially seemed determined not to look — and several dollars.
"It's such a part of New York culture," said rider Joli Tribuzio, an actress.
But other passengers resent becoming a captive audience for acrobats and break-dancers in a cramped subway car.

Rejecting appeals to call off his fast, an adamant YSR Congress Party president, Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy continued his protest for the sixth day on Friday in the Osmania General Hospital, even as his health deteriorated, posing a risk to the functioning of his kidneys.
Mr. Reddy launched an indefinite fast from Sunday morning after his mother Y.S.Vijayamma was forcibly shifted to a hospital on the fifth day of her hunger strike in Guntur recently. Both of them have been demanding the Centre to maintain status quo if it was not in a position to render justice to all the regions while bifurcating the State.
A spokesman of Osmania General Hospital said that the YSR Congress leader refused to take glucose or IV fluids in spite of repeated pleas by the doctors. His condition was being closely monitored as glucose levels went down, while ketone bodies shot up. His blood pressure was under control even as he was reportedly feeling weak.
Meanwhile, the Political Affairs Committee of YSR Party met here and urged Ms. Vijayamma to appeal to Mr. Reddy to call off his hunger strike keeping the larger interest of the people, who need his leadership.
YSR Congress leader, Konathala Ramakrishna hit out at the jail authorities for not informing Mr. Reddy's family members when he was shifted to the hospital around midnight.
The CBI court reserved its orders to Saturday on a plea by Y.S. Bharathi, wife of Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, to allow her as an attendant in the hospital to take care of her husband.

Man-on-Moon July 20 40th Anniversary Shows NASA Dream 'Weak' for 40 Years Since, Says Robert Weiner; Russians Poised to Beat U.S. to Mars, Venus, Pluto
WASHINGTON, July 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — As the July 20 fortieth anniversary of earthlings' first moon landing approaches, former White House Spokesman Bob Weiner and Policy Analyst Zoe Pagonis urge NASA, "Focus on the dream of traveling to other planets and reverse NASA's satisfaction with the mundane."
Weiner and Pagonis assert, "The news for NASA now is a pale comparison to 1969."
"Forty years later, we have to ask, what happened to man and woman on Mars and Venus? By now we thought we'd even reach Pluto. Yet after a few repeat moon missions, we just stopped leaving earth. The man-on-the-moon July 20th 40th Anniversary drives home that NASA's dream has been weak for the forty years since the landing. No one then thought we wouldn't be on Mars, Venus, and even Pluto by now."
"Commuter shuttles to a space station close-in and use of robots have been a sad substitute. It wasn't and isn't all we can do — we saw that's nonsense with our own eyes. Man on the Moon was the most profound scientific achievement of our lifetimes — and was too long ago."
"President Obama told shuttle Atlantis astronauts, 'It is a high priority of mine to restore that sense of wonder that space can provide.'
According to Weiner and Pagonis, "Returning to the moon is no longer wonder. We already did that forty years ago; the wonder is gone."
"When our supply of everything from oil to food to water is in peril, shouldn't we be exploring the virtually limitless resources of other planets to see if there are compounds that might be useful beyond our wildest dreams?"
"Russia is poised to beat the U.S. with a plan, Mars 500, just as they did in 1957 when they launched Sputnik and placed Yuri Gagarin in orbit. It took us a decade to catch up. Hopefully we won't have to repeat this. We need a get-there mentality with time frame," Weiner and Pagonis conclude.

Officials: US Border agent shoot teen at bridge
EL PASO, Texas A U.S. Border Patrol agent shot and killed a 15-year-old Mexican boy after a group trying to illegally enter the U.S. threw rocks at the agents at an international bridge near downtown El Paso, authorities said Tuesday.
The shooting, which happened Monday evening, drew sharp criticism from Mexico, where the government said Tuesday that "the use of firearms to repel attacks with stones represents disproportionate use of force, particularly coming from authorities who have received specialized training."
According to the FBI, Border Patrol agents were responding to a group of suspected illegal immigrants being smuggled into the U.S. near the Paso Del Norte bridge, across from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico around 6:30 p.m. Monday.
One suspected illegal immigrant was detained on the levy on the U.S. side, the FBI said in a statement. Another Border Patrol agent arrived on the concrete bank where the Rio Grande would be if there was water flowing, and detained a second suspect. Other suspects ran back into Mexico and began throwing rocks, the FBI said.
At least one rock came from behind the agent, who was kneeling beside the suspected illegal immigrant he had prone on the ground, said FBI spokeswoman Andrea Simmons.
The agent told the rock throwers to stop and back off, but they continued. The agent fired his weapon several times, hitting one who later died, said the FBI, which is leading the investigation because it involved an assault on a federal officer. The agent was not injured, Simmons said.
Border Patrol Special Operations Supervisor Ramiro Cordero said preliminary reports show that Border Patrol agents on bicycle patrol "were assaulted with rocks by an unknown number of people."
"During the assault at least one agent discharged his firearm," he said. "The agent is currently on administrative leave. A thorough, multi-agency investigation is currently on-going."
Chihuahua State officials released a statement Tuesday demanding a full investigation into the death of the boy, identified as Sergio Adrian Hernandez Huereca.
The boy's sister, Rosario Hernandez, told Associated Press Television News that her brother was playing with several friends and did not plan to cross the border.
"They say that they started firing from over there and suddenly hit him in the head," she said Monday.
His mother, Maria Guadalupe Guereca, told Milenio TV in Mexico that her son had gone to visit his brother, who handles luggage at a border customs office. While there, he met up with a group of friends and they decided to hang out by the river, she said.
"That was his mistake, to have gone to the river," she said. "That's why they killed him."
She said he ran and hid underneath one of the bridge's pillars upon hearing gunfire.
"He was a boy, and even then they killed him," she said. "I ask that they punish them. ... They left me without anything."
Sergio Belmonte, spokesman for the Ciudad Juarez mayor, said state justice officials have the body and are performing an autopsy before releasing the body to the family.

Re: How do you feel about catamarans?
Blue water multis are a different animal. Just like there are coastal, blue water and high latitude monos same applies. Issues with increased frontage have been discussed when a new production cat ran into trouble on an earlier thread. Issues of flat or decreased height under the bridge deck of some multis has been discussed as well. The Chris White boats are built in Chile. Hull #1 was sailed from there to Annapolis for the show. Around the CAPE to my understanding. They saw some weather but did fine. There is no reason a properly executed multi would not be as safe or safer than a mono in blue water.
In past heard an axiom in weather "you take care of a multi and a mono takes care of you". I think this was alluding to the relative ease of various storm tactics for monos compared with multis. There is nothing comparable to dropping sails - throwing out the series drogue - putting in the boards and going down below - without ever leaving the cockpit ( which I and many mono sailors can do) when setting up a multi to find its way. I would think setting up a parachute with a bridle off the bows of a cat in a storm would be more problematic. Still as more multis come into use storm tactics for them continue to be refined and again they can be just as safe. I'm not cued into the details but believe some advise running off or other tactics rather than the old storm sea anchor strategy of the past and would like to hear more about this from more knowledgeable people.
I was fascinated by the Neel boats as unlike most tris there is considerable usable space below. They do not run into the same issues as cats in a sea way which have the bridge deck brought forward to expand room below. One still runs into the issue of expense. To be safe in blue water a cat needs to be >40-45' and strongly constructed using high tech materials. This results in expense of roughly double that of a mono the same size. Admittedly you get much more room below but most of us don't need or want 3-4 staterooms. Operating costs are higher as well.
If I had a spare million I would be all over getting a multi. They are great boats even for doing all the capes. They are just not a viable option for most of us even those buying new boats.

Fairfax, Virginia - This week's edition of Curator's Corner is one of the rare occasions a National Firearms Museum curator isn't actually featured. Tonight, Cliff Burgess from NRA Office of Advancement introduces us to Manny & Kristy DeLaCruz with GunAuction.com and the NRA Firearms for Freedom program.
NRA Firearms for Freedom lets members donate their firearms to further support the NRA and the freedoms for which it stands. These generously donated firearms are then auctioned off with the proceeds going to help the NRA.
One of the program's most impressive donations is a beautiful custom Arrieta 20 ga shotgun donated by Lewis Evins of Olathe, Kansas. Evins delivered the gun to Burgess earlier this year at the NRA Annual Meetings in St. Louis and it's a sight to see. Featuring Demi-Bloc fine steel barrels, hand detachable double safety locks, double radius Holland selective ejectors, gas escape valves and an articulated front trigger, you will soon be able to bid on this fine shotgun at GunAuction.com.
You'll find the full story on this Arrieta and NRA Firearms for Freedom during tonight's episode of Curator's Corner on NRANews and SiriusXM Satellite's Patriot AND Patriot Plus.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 - 7 nights
Our Orlando luxury villa offers accommodation of the highest standard, and is truly a 5 star executive home with a unique feature being its homely and welcoming atmosphere. The home features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, private heated pool with privacy surround, games room and sleeps 8 plus baby. The home is ideal for 2 families.
You could not select a more perfect, sought after location. The tranquil surroundings of Rolling Hills are only 2 miles from the entrance to the Disney magic. Golfers will be delighted to find two Greg Norman courses and a David Leadbetter Golf Academy at Champions Gate. Even closer is the up-scale resort of Reunion, home to 3 championship courses. So close, you can return to your luxury home for relaxation by the poolside , before returning to the magical evening entertainment, batteries recharged.
Patio and Pool Area are south facing ensuring you capture the best weather all year round. The pool is heated (an extra cost applies). The pool is fitted with automatic cleaning and filter equipment. The whole of the pool and patio area is fully screened to enable you to enjoy the pool and outdoor life long into the warm nights without having to worry about things that fly. The pool area is equipped with loungers, tables and chairs. A covered lanai with dining table and chairs also gives lovely shade when needed.
A separate hot tub / spa is freshly filled on guests arrival. An additional charge is applied for heating this.
Had a fantastic 2 weeks staying at Derryline Manor, Rolling Hills. Kids loved the pool and the games room was great. Good way to chill after a busy day at the park or shopping. The villa was in a great location, minutes from Disney and not far from Universal. Restaurants were just minutes away by car. The Outback is great but for good family food the Cracker Barrel is a must. The villa was very comfortable as was each bedroom. The kitchen had everything you needed for cooking and overall the villas was fantastic. Garden, pool were all well maintained during our stay. Would have no hesitation in recommending villa and would not hesitate to book again.
I stayed in Derrylin Manor for just over a month! It was brillant. The house is suituated 5 minutes from the everything you'd want to see!(Disney land, shoppng, resturants). Its spacious and got everything you need!
Highly recommened it to anyone wanting to visit Orlando, Florida!
This is a lovely Villa in a excellent location and was very clean and well maintained and had all the facilities you require to make you feel at Home
There was 6 of us who stayed and there was plenty of room for us all we all had a great time.The Villa is located in a lovely area and is less than 10 minutes to the Disney parks.
We really enjoyed coming back from the parks and relaxing in the pool and sitting in the Hot Tub.
The Formasa Gardens Shopping Centre is just over a mile away has everything you could need a supermarket and restaurants.
We would recommend the Outback Restaurant it serves excellent steaks.
The booking process was very simple and the owner was very helpful.
We would definitely return to this Villa if we were go Back to Florida and I would have no hesitation in recommending this Villa to my family and friends
Just a 30minute drive from the airport, how brill after a long flight. The villa was a great base, only 10 minutes from the gates of Animal Kingdom, it allowed us to go to Disney early in the morning, come back when it rained in the afternoon and go back later again in the evening..... we made sure we got value for money from our tickets!
The children had great fun in the lovely pool and also used the games room when it rained.
The extra luxury touches in this villa compared to others that we have stayed in previously made all the difference, leather safas, big screen TV, a good selection of DVDs, books and games and fantastic king beds......my wife also thanks you for the straighteners in the bathroom!
Restaurants locally were great as TGI's, Olive Garden, Longhorn, Outback and many more are within 5 mins drive .... we actually walked to Outback and TGI's some nigts - footpaths all the way!!!
I will definitely be recommending this villa to any friends going to Disney or golfing in Orlando and hopefully everything going to plan we will be back ourselves in 2 years time.
Once again thanks so much for facilitating a fantastic family holiday.
