Our clients include surfers, skiers, snowboarders and skaters, as well as sponsors and leading apparel companies. Our attorneys serve in positions with industry organizations such as the Association of Surfing Professionals.

Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, Surfline
Shop-Eat-Surf creates a good source of timely information about the industry. The site makes all types and size companies feel part of a community where everyone is stoked to hear about other companies successes and ideas. It is always a good daily read.- By Ted Li, VP of North America, Oakley

PCC Board of Trustees
Board report
The board met March 31 and heard a report from PCC's independent auditor on the 2014 financial audit. The annual report with 2014 financials now is available on our website and in our stores. The board also discussed plans for the annual meeting.
Management presented monitoring reports on 2014 operations toward achievement of PCC's Ends policies. Excerpts of the reports will be published on our website and in the Sound Consumer in August.
The next regularly scheduled board meeting will be Tuesday, May 26 at 5 p.m. at the co-op office. Member comment period is at 7 p.m.
Next board meeting
The next board meeting will be on May 26 at the business office at 5 p.m. Member comment period is at 6 p.m. Member comments are limited to 3 minutes unless additional time is previously approved by the board chair.
2014-2015 nominating committee report
The chair and several members of the committee want to share with members some thoughts as they conclude their work on next year's slate. The committee thanks the members who applied for board service and they encourage members to look for information on the candidates during the next few months.
The nominating committee was very pleased with the caliber of applications we received for the 2015 election cycle. It was an honor to meet several dedicated PCC members interested in serving on the board of trustees to hear about their personal values, qualifications and experience. We have selected a slate of candidates that best complements the existing board and that we feel will make excellent contributions to the board's work in the coming years. — Julie Tempest, committee chair
This is my first year being on the nominating committee. The process has been a great learning experience and the interested parties that we have had the pleasure of interviewing have been top-notch. PCC is lucky to draw such talented applicants. — Sara Walsh
This was my first year serving on the nominating committee and I'm thankful to my former colleagues at PCC who encouraged me to volunteer my time. I've felt so inspired getting to meet the great number of people who share our passion for sustainable foods and PCC's long-term health. It speaks to the strength of the co-op's mission and shared sense of purpose that so many extraordinary members of our community are drawn to serve on the board of trustees. — Karen Gaudette Brewer
Three PCC trustees, Maggie Lucas, Karen May and Sandy Voit, attended the annual Consumer Cooperative Management Association (CCMA) held in Madison, WI in early June. At CCMA, speakers and trainers from outside the food co-op sector supplement the contributions of local and national co-ops. The CCMA attendees are primarily managers, staff and board members of food co-ops, although other types of co-ops were also represented. There were more than 500 attendees from approximately 140 co-ops.
There were two full days of workshops (ten tracks offered at six sessions) on ensuring food access, developing leaders, strategic thinking, growth/expansion, and governance. There also was a day of educational tours, from local food co-ops to the Krusenbaum family dairy farm (a member of the Organic Valley Cooperative).
Lucas noted, "I came away from this half-day tour amazed at the complexity of managing a dairy herd under the organic standards and so grateful that there are famers willing to do this challenging work. We learned about the homeopathic remedies used by the vets who care for these animals, the micro-hornets and grazing rotation used to help reduce the pesky fly population, and the ultra high level of care taken to test the products for highest quality."
"The Organic Valley Cooperative embodies the cooperative principles we want to support," Lucas continued. "It requires all members of its highest leadership to be participating farmers, and chooses those leaders via democratic vote. Standards and policies likewise allow input from all the co-op's members and are rigorously enforced. Member farmers are guaranteed a fair price for their product in advance, which is a tremendous benefit in an industry so much at the mercy of the market. Organic Valley is a great example of cooperative principles in action bringing a valuable product to consumers. As a PCC member I'm proud that we partner with Organic Valley, and I feel lucky to have this choice when I shop."
The annual conference is rotated annually among East/Central/West regions. Next year the conference will be in Boise, ID.

2004 Outlook
Birkel made an immediate impression as a true freshman and was one of five rookies to see playing time in 2003. However, he played in just four games as his season was cut short with a foot injury. This spring, Birkel saw limited practice time because of illness.
2003 (Freshman)
Before Nebraska (Lincoln Southeast HS)
Birkel finished his senior year at Southeast with 31 catches for 747 yards, an average of better than 24 yards per catch. He caught 10 touchdowns for the Knights, who captured the Class A state championship. Birkel also started at defensive back and finished with 38 tackles and three interceptions for Coach Chuck Mizerski's team.
Birkel earned first-team All-Nebraska honors from the Omaha World-Herald and was a first-team Class A all-state pick. The Lincoln Journal Star tabbed Birkel to its super-state squad as a receiver.
Birkel also won all-class gold medals in the 100-, 200- and 400-meter dashes at the 2003 state track meet. He won the Class A 100-meter title in a time of 10.744, while capturing the 200 in a time of 21.598. He added a title in the 400-meter race in 47.763 � the second-fastest time in state history. Birkel also played a starting role as a guard on Lincoln Southeast's state runner-up basketball team in 2003.
Birkel began his high school career at Lincoln East, where he earned honorable-mention all-state honors in 2001, with 14 catches for 329 yards and five touchdowns. He added 67 tackles and five interceptions for the Spartans, before transferring to Southeast. As a sophomore, he finished fourth in the 100 and third in the 200 at the state track meet. In addition to starring for East's track team, he also earned two letters in basketball for the Spartans. He committed to Nebraska after attending the Big Red Football School in 2002, and chose Nebraska over Kansas State and Iowa.

Re: Problem with new batteries keeping the charge
I was told by a battery distributor that for wet cells, some companies actually fill with a different electrolyte (different sg) depending on the climate in the area they are sold to. So if you have "New England" batteries, or "Tropical" batteries, even allowing for temperature corrections there is apparently some difference in what the "right" sg should be, depending on how they were initially filled.
If you really want to keep tabs on the batteries, there are also electronic capacity testers now
Amazon.com: battery capacity tester: Automotive
Amazon.com: battery capacity tester: Automotive
Some under $50 and that's a third option. If the tester agrees with the rating, you know they're probably just fine.
I just find anytime I mess with testing sg, there's a new hole burned through something shortly after. And if the electrolyte hasn't had time to equalize in the cell, which can take hours, then you need to suck it up, squirt it back, swirl it around...and let it stand to get the air bubbles out too. SG isn't a panacea either.

They don't make them like this anymore. Point of fact, they never did; Godard's Contempt is a once-a-century cultural constellation. Inexplicably underwritten by gauche producers/foils Carlo Ponti and Joseph E. Levine, JLG undertakes an adaptation of Alberto Moravia's 1954 novel of romantic fatalism. He keeps to the book's storyline: the corrosion of a young marriage, which becomes a self-analytical detective story in the "intellectual" husband's niggling insistence on finding exactly where things went wrong. Godard replaces Moravia's first-person interiority with a real sense of domestic life; the film's famous second movement is a quietly virtuosic half-hour of Michel Piccoli and Brigitte Bardot bickering all through their apartment, built around the mechanics of sharing a bathroom. Piccoli plays a scriptwriter just brought onboard a screen version of The Odyssey by philistine producer Jerry (a very funny Jack Palance, with the wedge head of a grinning excavated idol) to break an impasse with the director (Fritz Lang, as himself) over artsy dailies. The Babel of international co-productions lends itself to a tangle of dialogue in French, Italian, German, English, and American, in which proverbs, poetry, and bad jokes are translated for exchange. Identified in its trailer as a "New Traditional film," Contempt conflates the Mediterraneans of antiquity and Alfa Romeo, with enough omnicultural reference points to support a slab of footnotes. It's the intersection of pedantry and absolute sensuality. It's Bardot, age 28, preserved in cheesecake inserts. It's light filtered through cypresses at Jerry's vacation villa (Casa Malaparte, on the bluffs of Capri, a favored getaway spot for venal emperors). The film swells to a masochistic luxuriance; beneath it all are the weeping string arrangements of Georges Delerue, returning with the persistence of an inconsolable fixed idea: "What happened?"

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Castille Paris
33-37 Rue Cambon, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 1st Arr. (Musée du Louvre/Les Halles)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
It doesn't get much more central than this for a Parisian hotel, around the corner from the Ritz, just off the Jardin des Tuileries, the Champs-Elysées, and everything that's anything on the Right Bank, big and small — including Coco Chanel's original atelier, which is still right next door. The setting is right for a classically Parisian hospitality experience, and the Castille doesn't disappoint on that score.
We don't mean "classically Parisian" as a euphemism for something like "cramped and frilly" — the Castille's rooms are generous in size, and after a 2005 refurbishment there's a clean contemporary edge to the décor, a certain simplicity which complements the patterned textiles, the 18th- and 19th-century artworks, the marble baths and the historic black-and-white photos of the city.
The restaurant, L'Assaggio, gives a focal point to the subtle Venetian influences that run through the Castille, and centers around a patio which offers sheltered al fresco dining in the summer months. There's a fitness center and sauna, and a bit of meeting and events space as well — the Castille isn't quite a fortress, but it's more self-contained than many Parisian hotels. Add the many charms of its privileged location and it's hard to think of anything that's missing.

It's too bad he wont be in the Senate but he'll actually be able to pull the conservative movement back towards classical liberalism at Heritage. All the nutkickers who can't stand his military stance are seriously flawed. He's supported this movement at many turns. He's said a few times that he'd rather the debate be between conservatives and libertarians than conservatives and liberals.

Drug use up in Philippines, says UN body
Illegal drug abuse, specifically of "shabu," is on the rise in the country, according to an international drug monitoring body.
The Philippines is on a list of countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia where a rise in drug trafficking has been noted.
In its 2011 annual report, the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) noted an increase in drug trafficking through Southeast Asia and East Asia by West African and Iranian organized criminal groups, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs.
The INCB is an independent monitoring body that implements United Nations international drug control conventions.
The INCB specifically noted that China (including Hong Kong), Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines reported increased trafficking in heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine by groups with connections to organized trafficking gangs in West Africa and Iran.
According to the report, the criminal groups had established trafficking networks in Asia and usually hired drug couriers from Ghana, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand and the Philippines, the DFA said.
The INCB urged the governments in the two Asian regions "to devise appropriate and effective strategies to address the threats posed by trafficking in and abuse of methamphetamine and to strengthen regional cooperation in that regard."
Recently, a Kenyan woman was caught trying to smuggle nearly 10 kilograms of shabu, or methamphetamine hydrochloride, into the Philippines from the United Arab Emirates.
Lina Aching Noah, 36, was arrested after customs inspectors found the illegal drugs, with a street value of P45 million, in the lining of her luggage at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Noah, a suspected member of an African drug syndicate, had come from Dubai.
The PDEA said it had received a tip about Noah from a foreign counterpart agency, prompting agents to coordinate with the bureaus of immigration and customs to intercept her.
In December 2011, a 35-year-old man convicted of drug trafficking was executed in China. He was the fourth Philippine national to be put to death for dealing in dangerous drugs by the world's most prolific executioner.
Published reports say the Philippines has more than 200 people languishing in Chinese jails on drug-related charges.

Thread: The Gaussian Sketches
May 5th, 2012 #151
Thanks a lot! I'm studying here http://artac.org/
You're right about the digital paintings! I've been trying to put digital painting on the back burner: I want to get better at oil painting first and only do more digital once my foundations are more solid, which is gonna take a while.. It's more of a guilty pleasure (I'm considering switching to painter and learning to use that).
I've noticed that improvements in oil painting convert exponentially into improvements in digital painting.
Since I'm not very happy with my handling of color, here's a color chart, with varying hue-value-chroma in the shade of yellow ochre, to show how I spent my morning, going to do these again in the next days. Sorry for the crappy cell phone photo..doesn't really show the color differences but maybe someone can get an idea for a study practice...

hoi, nice view you have on your balcony (?)
color study is looking good; how many are you at now?
about the grisaille, an art teacher once told me not to use pencils for placeholders but start with big fields of color right away, because that gets you closer to where your going; the pencil lines kind of distract. not sure if it applies to you

ooh yeah; did you know I'm a certified art-teacher? that's right. everything arty I say has been endorsed by the state of the Netherlands! (they'll be sorry soon)
May 13th, 2012 #153
Ah, that view from your balcony makes me nostalgic
Those life studies, and the following ones, are from the artac school?
They're awesome, you're really getting a solid foundation here. Great work! I envy you a bit, would love to study there too
May 17th, 2012 #154
Hey, thanks for stopping by my sketchbook! I like that color study, looks like fun.
Not a ton to say that hasn't already been said, but you've obviously got skill and talent. I'll be back, maybe I'll have something more useful to say? Haha.

Ashess! Thanks for the advice I tried skipping the drawing part (it's what i do on thumbnails/smaller sketches) but for bigger sizes I like having some lines for some sort of direction, helps me mess up less..
K!: yeah, I can imagine the nostalgy...especially now that the weather is good; the life studies are mostly from school, I like it a lot, really...I feel like the teachers taught me a lot about life (not just painting/drawing); I'm really grateful I found them.
PeopleEveryday: thanks and you're welcome!
Crappy cell phone picture of a crappy painting makes it look much worse than it actually is, well whatever, it was a very useful/fun exercise and show me a lot about what I have to work on. Oil is still very hard to control for me...but I don't surrender and the fight goes on grrr!!!

Hey man, nice studies! You have a good handle on lighting and values.
The most recent one, where is his left hand supposed to be? I thought at first it was resting on his leg (as would make sense for this pose) but the perspective isn't lining up. It looks like he's holding his stomach. Actually the right hand too, looks more like it's hovering a little above his leg, but I don't know if it's intentional or not.
Totally jealous of the view from your balcony

last two weeks i kinda worked on this, really an half assed attempt full of obvious mistakes, I know, bleah! i think my brain is ready for a break
+ some rough lines from imagination, could figure the anatomy out and clean it up, I guess
June 18th, 2012 #162
Nice studies. Even though you say the mistakes are obvious, nothing really jumps out at me.
How do you do with the color chart at the top of the page, btw? Is it just an exercise in seeing color, or do you actually use the chart for something?

Trail of Tears
In 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act which led to the removal of nearly 46,000 Native Americans from their homes east of the Mississippi River to lands west of Missouri. Some tribes went peacefully knowing that they were no match for the US Army, however some tribes were tricked into signing treaties giving up their land while others were forced to march thousands of miles to their new homes which they were promised would never be taken by white settlers.

The price of western expansion
Students calculate the cost per square mile of the land purchased by the United States from Mexico after the U.S.-Mexican War. They compare that to the price of the Louisiana purchase and the purchase of Alaska. They then calculate the price paid in 1848 to what the price would have been today.

Re: NBA news and Notes May - 26
As promised, Lewis voids Sonics contract, will become free agent
Sat, May 26, 2007
By Associated Press
SEATTLE -- Rashard Lewis' promise became reality.
Lewis' agent said Friday night that the SuperSonics' longest-tenured player and second-leading scorer had officially opted out of the final two years of his Seattle contract. That makes him eligible for free agency beginning on July 1, but doesn't necessarily end his career with the Sonics.
''It gives him options. And this is what free agency is for,'' agent Tony Dutt said in Houston, after officially informing the Sonics in writing what Lewis had promised before the end of the just-completed season.
The Sonics have one advantage over the rest of the NBA with Lewis now in free agency: They are the only team who can offer him a six-year contract.
''It was in his contract that he could become a free agent. And you can't blame him for wanting to see what's out there,'' Sonics president of basketball operations Lenny Wilkens said last month. ''But that won't stop us from trying to get it done.''
When asked if he has been negotiating with the Sonics, despite Seattle not having a general manager or a coach right now, Dutt said, ''We've been in contact (with Wilkens). We'll probably stay in contact on and off until July 1.''
Lewis, who turns 28 in August, left $21 million behind in his Sonics contract. He is considered to be one of the NBA's most attractive free agent this summer. The market will include Chauncey Billups, Gerald Wallace and possibly Vince Carter - if Carter does what Lewis did and opts of out his contract with the New Jersey Nets.
''I'm excited about where I stand in the NBA,'' Lewis said last month, immediately after his ninth season in Seattle ended in a 31-51 mess.
Lewis could get offers of five years for perhaps $15 million per year, after averaging 22.4 points last season despite a hand injury that caused him to miss 22 games. Yet he said he will give Seattle first opportunity to give him a sweet deal.
''Oh, yeah. I've been here since the team drafted me (in 1998). They have faith in me,'' Lewis said last month.
''My heart will always be here - even if I play somewhere else.''
The 2005 All-Star returned from his six-week absence last season to lead the team while All-Star shooter Ray Allen was injured.
''He's earned that right to be at the top of the market,'' Dutt said. ''I think teams will move pretty quickly to sign him (after July 1). He is about the top free agent out there.''

wag na si gary.......masyado technical kung magjudge........
suggestion lang ABS-CBN sana wag nio naman abusuhin ang voting process neto...
i hope may toll-free landline numbers (like phil. idol, 1908-xfactor) para tlgang pulsuhan ang buong bayan, hindi lang ang may mga cellphones,. and may limit din sana *** votes (PGT2 finale) o kea voting for only 2/4 hours right after the show...
Sana after PBB na ito ipalabas, kasi kung isusunod nila ito after PGT, tiyak na mauumay na ang Kapamilya viewers sa ganyang style of competition!
pwede rin siguro si Toni Gonzaga as one of the judges/mentors.
It's also important that they choose the right TV host for this assignment. Di pwede sina Luis dito. Di bagay. I go for having Drew Arellano or Iya Villania for this. Lalo na si Iya Villania. Bagay sila sa The X Factor. I've been watching the UK series for years already. Hindi talaga biro ang show na 'to. Mas crucial din ang role ng host guys kesa sa ini-expect natin.
Malaking show 'tong The X Factor. Sobrang taas ng production value. A good example would be the UK version. My gulay, wow lang.
Given na maganda din ang line-up ng judges (dapat credible at experienced) at more importantly, ng contestants ng The X Factor Philippines, this will be a hit.
My picks would be:
Gary V.
Sharon Cuneta
Martin Nievera
Vina Morales/Zsa Zsa Padilla
I am so excited for this show! PGT is just nearing its graveyard...
^^tapos na naman ang PBB pag nagumpisa ito. teka, ito ba talaga mauuna o yung The Voice. siguro pwede muna pagpahingahin ng ilang weeks si Toni sa ASAP para dito. hehe.
Bianca Gonzalez would be a good host!

Thread: Fresh fruity frags for men?
Can you give me some suggestions of nice, fresh and fruity male/unisex (or even female ones that a man can get away with) fragrances (not citrus based)? I sometimes can feel scents like this among both males and females and it makes me just wanna put my nose against those people and inhale . The properties I'm after:
* fresh fruits/berries/floral (no citrus, at least not too heavy on the citrus)
* not too synthetic (like Diesel Fuel For Life)
* not too sweet
* not too sharp (you should be able too breathe the stuff instead of air )
* no heavy/dark/leathery/tobacco/woody/musky notes
* a semi-aquatic feel (without beeing aquatic)
I'm thankful for any suggestions .

Gai Mattiolo Uomo
polo black and double black and kenneth cole black.
Paris Hilton. Dior Homme... maybe too sweet or synthetic.
i think burberry touch fits, though it /slightly/ spicy when first sprayed. fresh/fruity are my favorite though everything that comes to mind have citrus.
Versace Metal Jeans, Paris Hilton, Mambo, Perry Man and Xeryus Rouge (though it's pretty sweet) immediately come to mind.
And then there are the apple ones like Boss 6 and Black Marlin.
Last edited by Renato; 15th April 2008 at 05:23 PM.
is the paris hilton one Just me or the original watermelon one?
Davidoff Adventure. It matches your criteria exactly. At first this wasn't very impressive for me, but then I started to like it a lot.
Looking for a sample of Gucci Envy Me.
Richard Simmons for Men
oh wait, not that kind of fruity...
Polo Black, KC Black, Lacoste Essential (maybe too citrusy), Boss Selection.. (no wait too synthetic), Cerruti Image
Rykiel Homme (yea, it has a yuzu opening). I like this berry scent better than Diesel Fuel For Life actually.

Mangosteen by Fresh is nice. Very tropical, so you should try it before you commit.
Millesime Imperial for sure.
Readily available options are:
Christian Lacroix: Bazaar
Trussardi: Python for Men
Jil Sander: Sun Men
Well, I can't say these fit 'a semi-aquatic feel' but, imho they fulfill all your other requirements:
1. Nicole Miller for Men
2. (original) Montana Pafum d'Homme (1989)
( Good luck finding them! )
3. Le Roy Soleil Homme
4. Homme Nature by Yves Rocher
5. Quasar
I wanted to include SMW, but I think it's more aqua than a fresh fruity smell. Still, it's a borderline call. MI is on the fruit side of the border. Both are worth a sniff.
Then there's always John Varvartos and Geir . . .
Hope this helps.

Hmmm....not sure if this is too sweet, but if you like the smell of a pack of fruity lifesavers, then definitely try Tabac Eau de Toilette. NOT to be confused with Tabac Eau de Cologne, as they smell *completely different.
I'd also recommend Banana Republic "M," but it's discontinued and difficult to find now.

l'eau par kenzo pour homme is sweet because it's mostly Yuzu lemon, but it doesn't smell "citrusy" per se.
and Tom Ford for Men also smells mostly sweet & fruity to me. not bad per se, but after Black Orchid i was expecting something totally different.
I just remembered, what about Eau de Cartier by Cartier? Their flankers of this product are positively fruity and fresh, I think it's called Eau de Cartier 'Cartier d'Ete'.
You might want to give the Tommy H. limited editions for men a try (Tommy Summer cologne 2004 for ex.), they are all a very fresh and a bit fruity, a bit aquatic and not too sharp. Also check out the CkOne limited eds.

Putting the Group First by Fiona Castorina
In 2010, Fiona Castorina was on Vermont; in 2011, she did Nova Scotia & Acadia; and in 2012, she tackled Pacific Coast. Fiona looks forward to returning to the West Coast this summer and biking with her California group. Read her essay to see why she returns to Overland every summer.
On the first day of an Overland trip, I can see that we are going to be a close group—even if other people don't see it. Everyone is on the trip to accomplish the same goal—whether it's to bike 1,000 miles or to hike to the top of a mountain. However what I have learned from my experiences is that it's about the journey that you take to accomplish that goal and the people with whom you experience it.
On Vermont, my very first Overland trip, our bonding moment was on the first day. We were off of the bikes at our campsite, and a few Overlanders rolled down a hill. We were all laughing and talking as if we had known each other forever. On the first day of my Nova Scotia & Acadia trip, a parent said that by the end of the trip, we were going to become close. We were all thinking "how is that going to happen?" Later that day, I realized that it was going to be true. Our leaders gave us a task: by the end of the three-hour van ride, we had to know at least three things about a group member. I ended up knowing more than three things about many people in the group. By the first dessert circle, I felt like I knew everyone. And on my Pacific Coast trip, at the airport, I could tell that it was going to be a close group. On our van ride to our first campground, I noticed that everyone was introducing themselves to each other. A few people were helping others set up their bikes. Some were playing Ultimate Frisbee. At our first dinner, a boy was rapping which made everyone relax and feel comfortable. All of these actions helped to "break the ice". There is never an awkward moment on an Overland trip—not even on the first day. The groups click.
As the trips progress, the leaders show us that it is not about individuals accomplishing a goal, but it is about the group accomplishing a goal together. "Putting the group first" is an important aspect of Overland. Doing little things such as holding a bike for someone while she packs up her gear or carrying more food than your fair share really make a huge difference because you are helping the group out. Looking out for each other is what makes the bond stronger. At Overland, no one is ever left out or excluded. Group members step out of their way in order to make the trip enjoyable for everyone. I love this about Overland—it's the main reason that I come back every year. I love feeling part of something so special.
Even long after my Overland trips are done, I continue to communicate with my group members. My Pacific Coast group has our own Facebook group, and we are always talking about how we want to have a reunion. It has been seven months since our trip ended, and we communicate as easily as if we were still on the trip. I also still talk with people who were on my first two Overland trips. The connections that you make on Overland continue long after the trip is over.
Last summer when we were biking across the Golden Gate Bridge on my Pacific Coast trip, I knew that everyone was reflecting on the trip and all of the challenges that we had overcome as a group to get to that moment. We were so happy to have finally made it to our destination, but we were even happier to have experienced it with our group—which was now a family.
I have been lucky to be a member of three amazing groups. Now that I'm going into my fourth summer with Overland, I never question if I'm going to have a close group or not. I know that I will.

Moral To This Story: Don't Lie About Being Kidnapped

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. A British man was staying late at a party. His girlfriend expected him at home, so he did the courteous thing - he called. The problem was what he said. He told his girlfriend he could not come home because he had been kidnapped. He apparently did not count in the fact that the girlfriend actually cared about him. She panicked. And she called police. Police conducted a search and found the man at the party, fined him and left him there saying they already wasted enough time on the guy. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.

UN: Crises outstrip donor funding
More News from Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS—Crises driven by drought, floods and conflicts are escalating and there isn't enough money to help the more than 50 million struggling people from Syria to Africa's parched Sahel region, the director of UN humanitarian operations said.
The result is more suffering and deaths for thousands of needy people, John Ging said.
"The needs are outstripping the means," Ging, operations director for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said in a year-end interview. "There's a global financial crisis and this is just an equation that doesn't work. We have to find solutions."
Ging said donors are constrained by economic hardship as a result of the recent financial meltdown, while the demand for humanitarian help keeps growing.
The UN has launched its biggest-ever humanitarian appeal — for $8.5 billion to help 51 million people in 16 countries in 2013. This year's appeal, for $7.7 billion, was only 60 percent funded.
In addition, the United Nations launched a separate appeal this month for $1.5 billion to help 4 million Syrians inside the country who require urgent assistance, and more than 500,000 Syrian refugees who have fled to neighboring countries.
The United Nations announced Friday that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will chair a pledging conference in Kuwait City on Jan. 30 to fund the Syrian appeal. The UN chief urged donor countries to do more to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people and "address the funding gap," UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
Ging singled out the "increasingly catastrophic" situation in Syria, where the estimate of those needing humanitarian assistance has jumped dramatically from 2.5 million two months ago to over 4 million today — and will almost certainly rise as fighting intensifies.
He said local humanitarian staff are working in dangerous conditions and reaching more than 500,000 people inside Syria — but "it's not adequate."
"It's not meeting the needs that have been identified, and there's just a relentless decline in the humanitarian situation," Ging said in an interview late last week. "And what's most depressing is that there's no prospect on the horizon of a solution. Everything points to the fact that it will continue to get worse … which means more killed, injured and driven into humanitarian suffering."
Over 2 million people are displaced inside Syria but Ging said their ability to cope has "really collapsed." And the UN refugee agency has warned that the number of Syrian refugees could double to 1.1 million by June 2013.
The humanitarian situation elsewhere in the world is also getting worse.
The $8.5 billion appeal includes what Ging calls "mega-crises" where huge resources are needed:
- $1.3 billion for 3.8 million people in Somalia including nearly 250,000 malnourished children
- $1.15 billion for South Sudan and $983 million for Sudan where hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced by fighting
- $893 million for Congo where fighting continues to wrack the east
- $477 million for those caught in the long-running war in Afghanistan
- $370 million for Mali and $180 million for Mauritania in the Sahel region of West Africa hit by drought and conflict.
Ging said the big increase this year was across the Sahel where more than 18 million people don't have enough to eat, including 1.2 million children who are acutely or severely malnourished, and where over 500,000 under the age of five have died.
The two big "drivers" that are making the global humanitarian situation worse are climate change, which has led to drought across Africa and flooding elsewhere, most recently in the Philippines, and conflicts that go on year after year, he said.
"Humanitarian assistance is not a solution," Ging said. "Humanitarian assistance is a contribution to help people survive as they hopefully rebuild their lives."
Unfortunately, prolonged conflicts leave people dependent on aid for many years, and that is happening more often. He cited Congo, where in Minova in eastern Kivu he met families who had been displaced seven times in the last few years.
To try to address the growing humanitarian crises, Ging said there is a major effort to build "resilience" so communities can withstand the shocks from the effects of climate change.
One of the positive developments this year has been a coordinated effort by all donors in the Sahel to deal with constant drought and make better use of scarce resources including improvements in harvesting water, selecting seeds, animal husbandry and irrigation, he said.
Another was promoting development and preventing famine in Somalia this year, he said.

100's of girls. One ugly error.
The fine folks at Déjà Vu, where every night is a party, have what Truss likes to call "an apostrophe problem." Truthfully, it's not that bad. 100s is abused all the time. Even when it's written out correctly it still looks wrong. So the whole goof isn't that bad of a thing...
But when the goal of the statement is a crass joke, better make sure it's written correctly… otherwise it loses its punch.

A disorganized registration system has left many of the 200 Hurricane Katrina evacuee families frustrated, angry and scared they may lose their emergency housing.
Local evacuees first registered under a program in which the city of Corpus Christi paid for their apartments and was reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. But to stay in the housing program, they had to register under another program, in which FEMA pays evacuees directly for their apartments and requires rent receipts.
Tuesday would have been the last day to transfer, but FEMA extended the deadline to March 31.
When evacuees tried to switch from one program to another, many couldn't get through the phone system, and those who did got conflicting information, said Viola Monrreal, housing specialist with Accessible Communities Inc, which helps place evacuees in housing.
Some evacuees were told their rent was covered for the next three months; others were told to talk to the city. Monrreal said only three of the 126 families she worked with got through to FEMA, received the paperwork and were fully transitioned to the second program, and only one of them received housing money.
One family even received four letters, alternately informing them they were, then weren't, were and finally weren't qualified to receive housing assistance.
"They're stressed out because there's so much uncertainty," Monrreal said.
In his sixth home in as many months, evacuee Anthony Brooks hopes he's found an apartment where he can stay. Brooks needs dialysis treatment several times a week, and hopes to stay in his Section 8 apartment by using his disability checks when FEMA won't cover it anymore.
"If I do have to move I'm not putting that in my mind," he said. "That's a negative thought and I can't afford to have negative thoughts in my life right now. Because of my health."
Sherita Ladmirault, an evacuee living in Ingleside, said she's received three letters from FEMA turning her down for the housing program. The letter said she had insurance from her family's New Orleans 9th Ward home. But the home was in her husband's family's name, and she, her disabled husband and her three children haven't seen any of that money.
She'll reapply under her husband's name, but after that, she doesn't know what they'll do.

- "A man of my station has many debts. I'm not much use at labor or learning, but I can throw a punch with the best of 'em."
- ―Torvar[src]
Torvar is a Nord warrior and a member of the Companions who resides in Whiterun. He can be found within the Companions' headquarters, Jorrvaskr. He is a recent whelp to the Companions and is not taking well to the intensive training.
Torvar is shown to be a drunk, with many of his comments concerned with drink. He is obviously more interested in getting drunk than in training or doing some work for the Companions. In a conversation between him and Athis, he states a preference for hammers and axes.
At first glance, he acts friendly towards the Dragonborn. But as one progresses within the Companions' ranks, he becomes more sour, and possibly even jealous.
Torvar can be enlisted as a follower after completing Glory of the Dead. However, he can be obtained earlier by dropping armor in front of him while he is walking. He then asks the Dragonborn if he can have the item. If the Dragonborn says "Consider it yours.", he becomes available after leaving the area and coming back.
The Dragonborn can marry Torvar if possessing an Amulet of Mara.
When wearing an Amulet of Mara after completing Glory of the Dead, Torvar will say "You're wearing Mara's amulet? You? I'd marry you. I'd marry you twice."
If Torvar should happen to die, the Dragonborn may receive an inheritance of around 200 from him via a courier.
His main skills, from highest to lowest:
Torvar resists arrest with the Dragonborn and fights without question, an uncommon trait amongst the rest of the Companions.
Quotes Edit
- "The latest recruit, right? Wait, is that right?"
- "Might head down to the Meadery later, see what they're brewing up. You can smell the honey on the wind."
- "You're a talker, eh?"
- "What do you want from me now?"
- "I don't owe you money, do I?"
This section contains bugs related to Torvar. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
- 360 PC Torvar might be found by Markarth.
- 360 If Torvar dies before beginning the Companions questline, it's possible to later find his dead body laying on the floor of the living quarters of Jorrvaskr. NPCs finding his body there will only be heard saying "I'm going to find whoever did this!". After the Glory of the Dead quest is completed, Torvar will miraculously appear alive in the dining hall of Jorrvaskr. The resurrected Companion will be ready to follow the new Harbinger. This can also happen if he dies as a follower after the Glory of the Dead once the Dragonborn returns to Jorrvaskr.
- 360 If encountered as part of a random encounter, he may remain at the scene of the battle and never return to Jorrvaskr.
- Sometimes after dropping armor in his path, a general dialogue will be opened immediately. In order to fix this the Dragonborn must cancel the dialogue and speak to him again. This way the correct dialogue will appear regarding the armor that has been dropped.
- 360 Even if Torvar is killed, he may respawn. His dead body will disappear.
- PS3 Sometimes he attack the Dragonborn for no apparent reason and will not stop unless killed.

After you find a suitable air-tight storage container, print or write the rest of the recipe and tape it to the side, using wide packing tape to prevent the paper from getting destroyed. Now you don't even need to find this recipe to finish making the batter - it's all right there, just like on the Bisquick box.

Tata Motors, the country's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, is seeing improvement in its medium and heavy commercial vehicle (M&HCV) segment and expects sales to pick up in the second half of current fiscal, the company officials indicated at its result conference held Monday.
"M&HCV is showing improvement, though on a low base and is expected to pick up progressively in H2 FY 15," the company said.
M&HCV sales of both Tata Motors and Mahindra and Mahindra have been improving every month since April. "We are passing through dynamic and uncertain time, but if i just go through four, five past months, every month has been better than previous months," Ravindra Pisharody, executive director, commercial vehicle, Tata Motors, told reporters.
The Tata Group company is already seeing positive signs in its M&HCV segment, with April-June period emerging as the first in past nine quarters that saw improvement. Sustained recovery in M&HCV would also point at the recovery in manufacturing and various sections of economy coming back to growth, Pisharody added.
Tata Motors' consolidated net profit in April-June jumped more than three fold far exceeding market expectations on strong sales of Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR) vehicles. The consolidated net profit in first quarter rose to Rs 5,358 crore from Rs 1,726 crore in a year ago quarter.
JLR retail sales in the April-June quarter rose 22% to 115,596 units from a year ago, while sales of its domestic trucks, buses and passenger vehicles declined by 28% to 110,612 units. Operating margins at its JLR business rose to 20.3% from 15.8% a year ago, while margins at its Indian business fell to minus 2.8% from 2.3%. Its consolidated revenue rose to Rs 64,683 crore from Rs 46,796 crore from year ago.
"We had unbelievable product and market mix for JLR during the quarter, new product launches also helped," said Ralf Speth, CEO of JLR.
Sharing the way forward for JLR, Speth said that the company is preparing for the launch of new Discovery Sport, Jaguar XE, Ingenium family of 2l engines in new engine plant and new China JV manufacturing plant. The Indian carmaker, which bought the British carmaker in 2008, continued to see strong operational cash flow due to higher margins.
The company plans to spend investment of around £3.5-3.7 billion in FY15 for this business.
Tata Motors also expects some headwinds to its overall margins going forward. Speth said that there could be impact of the current Russia and Ukraine crisis, and Europe too may see some issue as pound gets stronger. He is however confident that despite price cuts in China that the company had to take it will remain as a biggest market. The company will continue to invest heavily in China.
While Tata dominates the trucks and buses segment in India, its passenger cars have failed to lure customers away from local rival Maruti Suzuki and foreign competitors including Hyundai Motor Co and Honda Motor Co.
Tata will launch a new car 'Zest' in India today, its first new offering in four years, in a bid to regain market share and plug losses in its domestic business, which has also been hit by an economy that is battling its longest spell of below 5% growth in a quarter of a century.

Ladies and gentleman, have you ever heard of the saying, "don't judge a book by its cover"? Well, the same saying can be applied to your shampoo. Just because the shampoo bottle is dazzling and it smells like juicy mango, doesn't mean your hair is getting the best treatment.
One would think that the more expensive and flashier hair product is more beneficial to the health of your scalp and hair, but the hidden chemicals in these products can actually do more damage than you realize. Most of the shampoos on the market today contain a few specific types of potentially damaging chemicals; Ammonium Laurel Sulfate, sodium Laurel Sulfate and Paraben. Surprisingly, sulfates are present in about 95% of commercially available shampoos.
Sulfates are inexpensive to make and you don't have to use much to get rid of dirt and grime. Sulfate is a chemical used to produce a rich sudsy lather when mixed with water. The sulfate lather is what lifts dirt and oil away from the scalp and gives you that squeaky clean feeling after you wash your hair. Paraben is also a type of chemical used in your shampoo to prevent bacterial growth, but can also harmful to your skin. These types of chemicals are not beneficial because they strip your hair of moisture and other essential oils, the chemicals damage your hair follicles and hair color over time.
Click here to sign up for our weekly Health And Beauty newsletter!
Also, sulfates and parabens can be the cause of dry and irritated skin, which can lead to other more serious skin related issues. One alternative option to using a generic shampoo is to go organic. Even though organic shampoos don't create a rich lather and don't smell like a burst of fresh fruit, they are the best known alternative to harsh shampoos.

yeah--but one problem would be figuring out what that environment would be, since it would be something different all over the world. I read some posts on this conservation list some folks are on where I work--the ANSI/ISO group was splitting up into sub-groups to study the variables of deterioration in inkjets-. Apparently the standards group had to first come up with a standard test--that could be applied evenly around the world--and they acknowledged all sorts of problems with this.
I haven't followed this much lately....in some ways, I'm resigned to it and don't care 100% since I don't sell inkjets to anyone. We don't even have a printer in our photo dept. We send the files out for Frontier prints or Lightjets. I have a fair idea of how long a c-print will last.....
Try the Preservation Calculator. you punch in the temp & rh of the room (or whatever the area where you store your negs)--and it gives you an estimate of the lifespan--until acetate film base would begin to fail. On the software version, there's a help guide that explains all sorts of concepts in deterioration and other factors like mold germination etc, and how you could extrapolate the data for organic materials in general. It's worth having a look at--and is a good tool in learning about how temp & rh play a role in all this. A real world example of this is the "stored alive" interactive on that climate notebook link above.

We accept the love we feel we deserve
I am a free thinker, artist, philosopher, musician, craftsman. My worldview is Taoist and Buddhist, and my lifestyle is expressed through healthy eating, weightlifting, hiking and yoga, with a nice balance of partying and celebration. I prefer ceremony to church, organic to conventional, making art/ music to watching tv, and discussing meaningful subjects to superficial media stories. Growing up in Cleveland I was raised on strong work ethic and developed an appreciation for others who don't expect something for nothing. I remain close to my parents and my younger brother who is always there for me. I love laughing with people, sharing inspiring ideas, and spending quality time with friends, but there are times when I want to kick back and watch movies/ documentaries or head out on a trail by myself. I feel it is important for a person to take time to meditate within themselves to understand their true nature. I revere nature and believe in the power of herbal medicine (particularly Chinese herbal medicine), the power of intention, and the electrical universe. The balance of life is important to me, the Tai Ji (yin yang). Science and spirituality, male and female, rising and falling, giving and receiving. We all have our triumphs and downfalls and I would like to meet a woman who can be there through everything that life presents us. Building and retaining meaningful relationships is very important to me. I would like to meet a woman who can join me in my adventures in this life. Someone who knows how to communicate and genuinely open up to others. Someone rooted in who they are and can let loose, have fun and laugh with me.

On Friday, June 20, Jefferson-based McFarland Publishing celebrated 35 years of making its business home in Ashe County by inviting the community to enjoy lunch and tour the company's facilities.
For McFarland, the anniversary provided a way to share the art of publishing with the area.
"We are so grateful because the community has been good to us in so many ways," said Rhonda Herman, executive vice president of McFarland & Company Inc. "The culture of the people who come to work here and the good neighborly kinds of things that are available to a business that locates in a mountain community, we thought it was a great opportunity for people to come in and learn about what publishing is."
McFarland Publishing, since coming to Ashe County in 1979, has been known for publishing specialty nonfiction and academic works. The company is independent and publishes approximately 400 titles yearly, while around 4,500 titles are being sold.
"The fact (McFarland founder Robert Franklin) decided to settle here has been significant for Ashe County," Herman said. "The fact we had a knowledge business, back when that wasn't really cool or done, and what it's meant to the families of those who work here. There's just gratitude that he chose Ashe County."
Many of the books McFarland publishes focus on pop culture, baseball, other sports and automotive history. The company now sells to libraries, specialty bookstores and now produces ebooks.
"The industry has changed a lot over 35 years," Herman said "When (Franklin) first located here, it was a shock, when I say that people didn't believe it, because it was such a weird thing to do at that time. If you weren't in New York or some other center, people just didn't get it."
Herman said as time has progressed Franklin's move in 1979 has become the norm with many publishers locating to smaller towns, because of the expenses involved in starting up in New York, Los Angeles and other publishing centers. In 2014, McFarland has 53 employees working in Jefferson.
"After 35 years, we are in as good of a position as the big (publishers), because their overhead is so high and their expectations of what they have to do is so much larger," she said.
At 1 p.m., a special 35th anniversary cake was brought out to help celebrate the occasion.
In addition to Friday's events, on Tuesday, June 24, Boondocks Brewing released a special McFarland beer and hosted a special edition of McFarland trivia. In addition, patrons who ordered a pint of the Scottish ale received a free beer glass that featured the Boondocks logo and a McFarland logo made by McFarland graphic designer Mark Durr.
"We had a Scottish ale made in honor of the McFarland family name," Herman said. "There was a collaboration between some of the McFarland employees that are beer lovers and some of the folks (at Boondocks). I think they had a really good time putting it together."
For the future, McFarland has close to 200 additional books they will publish in 2014 and looks to keep the McFarland tradition alive in the community.
"We like to think we will still be here in 100 years in Ashe County, employing Ashe County people," Herman said.

A court has sentenced Egypt's former oil minister and a fugitive businessman who was close to ousted leader Hosni Mubarak for 15 years after convicting them of corruption in a case involving natural gas exports to Israel.
Former oil minister Sameh Fahmy and businessman Hussein Salem were convicted of harming the country's interests by exporting natural gas to Israel at prices below world market levels. Salem is on the run and was tried in absentia.
Thursday's sentencing is the latest in a series of cases against former regime figures following Mubarak's ouster on February 11, 2011.
Mubarak was acquitted of a similar charge but was later sentenced to life in prison for failing to prevent protesters' killings during the uprising.
Egypt and Israel are bound by a 1979 peace treaty.
