Reviews From Guests
This was my first airbnb experience and I am so glad that it was at Cathy's place. We received lots of recommendations, were well looked after, felt right at home. She is a lovely person, the location is quiet and peaceful, which certainly beats fighting the crowds and noise in either Capitola or Santa Cruz. We were well pleased and it is exactly as pictured.
Cathy was a lovely hostess: respected our privacy and yet was knowledgeable and available to help us settle in and answer any questions. Plenty of clean towels and very comfy bed. Nice, sunny room with a large window. Immacullate, nice home. So close to Capitola, in a nice and peaceful residential area. Some good restaurants just. mile away, especially the small very authentic healthy Mexican food at Tortilla Flats...a great, big margarita! Easy, no hassle parking. Easy in and easy out of the house. The rooms are upstairs so keep that in mind if you have any mobility issues.
Very nice house. Clean and confortable room. We had a very great time with Cathy. We really felt like at home.
My friend and I attended a wedding at Seascape in Aptos so we needed a place to spend the night. Cathy's place was great! She was super nice and helpful. Although we never met in person I feel like we did since we connected over texts and phone calls. Great host. Great house. I'd stay again and will be sure to refer her to any friends in search of a place to stay in Santa Cruz. 5 stars all the way!
Cathy was a wonderful host! We had a lovely time at her house and enjoyed chatting with her. We would recommend her to anyone and would love to come back!
Great experience. Cathy is very nice. We had a very cool stay. I wish we could have stayed longer in the Santa cruz area
Cathy's Place was superb! It's location in Santa Cruz is perfecdt for going in either direction, north or south, off of Highway 1. Her neighborhood is peaceful and clean. Her care for her guests was wonderful.
My family enjoyed staying in Cathy's lovely home. Especially my daughter loved the house for its tasteful decoration.
Lisha and Alex have never stayed at a bnb prior to this wonderful home and we will definitely be back to Cathy's, since she was so kind and gracious. Her home was close to everything that we wanted to do for our first trip together in Capitola and Soquel. It was fun to simply lay on the patio hammock and enjoy our coffee or assorted beverages. I would rate Cathy's home a 11 out of 10.... really..!! We will be most happy to return to see Cathy once again!! Thank you for your generosity and directions to restaurants. The Burwells
Cathy has a lovely, warm home and was attentive to every detail. It was a pleasure to stay there and she equal welcoming to my niece in spite of her late arrival. In addition, I found Cathy herself to be a delight and extremely helpful about the local areas and even to give directions when I was in a pinch! I would definitely stay with Cathy again.
Reviews From Hosts
Cathy was an excellent guest during her stay. I appreciated her level of communication, and she left the studio and excellent condition. I'd be delighted to host her again.
Cathy and David were fantastic! They really took advantage of their time here in Vancouver and explored the city. They went to all sorts of different areas. Communication was great from the beginning to the end. They were clean, quiet, friendly and just great people! I look forward to hosting them again sometime in the future. I would definitely rent to them again. Take care you two :)
Cathy and David were wonderful guest and we enjoyed very much hosting them. Warm and lovely people we looked forward to experiencing their airbnb quarters in Santa Cruz. Highly Recommend!

We stayed at my Aunt Cathy's beautiful house after a wedding in Santa Cruz recently. Her home is so comfortable. The bed was warm and cozy on an unusually cold June night. Her home is extremely clean and inviting– and filled with artwork and fabric from her travels without being cluttered. I saw her newly landscaped garden for the first time and it looked great. Thank you again for letting us stay with you, Cathy!
We decided to stay at Cathy's for my Nana's 72nd Birthday. I had looked for the perfect place. I wanted a safe comfortable environment for us two women. Hotels are fine but you never get the full experience of being local and I always worry about leaving my jewelry behind. When we arrived we were welcomed warmly and felt at ease right away. Cathy's home was an extension of our own homes. The bright colors and open space were beautiful and ideal for the ocean experience. It was lovely. Cathy was a kind and courteous host. She helped us with directions, suggested scrumptious places to eat and heightened our experience in Capitola. We felt safe enough to leave our precious belongings in our room and ventured out to Capitola care free! What a relief! Things to note: * There is no TV! (It was wonderful) Nana and I read our books one afternoon. There were no distractions just peaceful silence. * There is no coffee machine. Cathy had a French Coffee press. I drink coffee in the mornings. I have never used one of these devices. Cathy had to show me how to use it. I have to express, I have never really tasted coffee until I used it. Nana and I bought some gourmet coffee and what a treat! A French Coffee Press is on my wish list for Christmas ;o) * Cathy does not have animals so there are no worries for allergies. Plus the house was spotless, no mold or dust for that matter. * The water pressure was nice and hot. * The room was clean and the bed helped you melt away to peaceful dreams. I think that's all… Thank you so much Cathy. Nana and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. -Aubrey Granddaughter from Twain Harte
We came from Southamerica for our daughters graduation at UCSC. We rented her two rooms. Kathy made us feel at home, we even had a small family gathering for breakfast in her beautiful sunny backyard! She speaks fluent spanish and was helpful and generous. She recommended very good places to eat and even made the reservations for us !. We highly recommend staying at her place!
Cathy's house is located in a lovely quiet neighborhood with a beautiful park behind her house where birds make an appearance often. Spending the night at Cathy's house provided us with complete relaxation. We were able to access all of Santa Cruz's fun activities while being nestled in the calm of her home. We especially enjoyed Cathy's kindness and impeccable hospitality, as well as her sense of decor. I highly recommend her home to anyone visiting the area.
Cathy has graciously opened her doors to me several times over the span of many years--whether I'm en route to a hiking venture or a wedding celebration--her home is a blissful retreat. In addition to the masterfully cozy accommodations and gorgeous art, Cathy has contagious energy and a love for life that one cannot simply get enough of; her home is a spa for the spirit.
Cathy's home is like staying at the friendliest B&B ever!!! The rooms are bright and sunny and you couldn't ask for a better location!!! Your hostess is accomadating and is as bright and sunny as her home. If you are looking for the perfect home away from home, this is the place for you!!!
Cathy is gracious and welcoming. Her home is beautiful, and the backyard is beautifully landscaped and backs up to a wonderful park area: the perfect place to enjoy an evening glass of wine in a warm, comfortable setting.
I rented a room in Cathy's house in 2005 and we have remained close friend ever since. She continues to be welcoming to me whenever I visit. She is a generous and cheerful person, and will do anything to make her guests feel at home.
Cathy is a marvelous hostess and her house is beautiful and spacious! Since she is a teacher, she naturally likes to serve and help people. She will treat you like a best friend :~). The beautiful back yard space is great, too. Cathy has lived in the Santa Cruz for over 25 years and can advise where you can go for the best local food, activities, etc.

TT2012: Martin buoyed by SSTK result, targets Senior
5 June 2012
Guy Martin's fifth place finish in the Royal London 360 Superstock race at the Isle of Man TT on Monday went some way to making up for the disappointment of his DNF in the first Supersport event.
The Tyco Suzuki star, who finished fourth in the Superbike TT on Saturday after being forced to ride the final two laps on a worn rear Pirelli, pulled out of the Supersport race at the end of the first lap of four with a fuel pump issue on his GSX-R600.
Martin later lapped at 127.375mph in the Superstock event to seal fifth position for the Northern Ireland outfit behind John McGuinness, Michael Dunlop, Ryan Farquhar and Bruce Anstey.
"I wasn't quite sure what the problem was or how bad it was going to be until Cameron Donald came past me in the Supersport race and I just couldn't hang onto him," Martin explained.
"The bike just wouldn't hold the revs, but that's the TT – the smallest of problems can cost you any chance of a podium.
"In the Superstock race I was in the hunt for a podium in the opening laps and had a good steady run, but we just weren't good enough today for the win.
"The boys did a great pit stop for me and the new rubber helped, but it just wasn't enough at the end," he added.
"We get another go on Wednesday in the second Supersport race and then on Friday in the Senior so I'm still hopeful of nailing that first win."
Martin's quest to fulfil his ambition of claiming a maiden triumph on the Mountain course is one of the enduring sagas of the famous races, where he is quickly establishing a reputation as the best rider never to have won a TT.

Paulin, Paulin, Paulin: a Retrospective of Pierre Paulin's Furniture DesignsDesign // Tuesday, October 27, 2015
On his work, Pierre Paulin says, "I was aiming to show just how far we could make modernity go," and his furniture reflects this aim. Well, at least, it reflected this aim in the 1950s and 60s. In 2008, Paulin's family created the firm called Paulin, Paulin, Paulin, which creates limited editions of the designer's work that never passed beyond the prototype stage.
Kaleidoscopic Tunnels Create Mesmerizing Children's PlaygroundDesign // Wednesday, May 27, 2015
Architecture studio A2arquitectos has taken everyobody's favorite toy and/or psychedelic experience and inspired a real-life children's play area at Hotel Castell De Hams in Porto Cristo, Spain. Hexagonal reflective tunnels 9 meters long by 2 meters high reflect external views and bring natural light to the children playing in them. The rest of the space looks pretty neat too...
Tokyo Restaurant Decorated with Recycled CablesDesign // Friday, May 01, 2015
Designed by Japanese artist and architect Kengo Kuma, this bar-restaurant located in Kichijoji outside Tokyo is adorned withheaps of colored recycled cables. "We applied recycled LAN cables, which we call Mojamoja – to describe its shaggy, wooly look – and what is called acrylic ball (left-over melted acrylic byproduct pieces) to everything from interior materials to furniture. As the result, some amazing interior emerged, where form becomes invisible and only materiality and various colors appear as if floating in the air.

Interiors by Roy Lichtenstein Circa the 1990sJuxtapoz // Monday, October 17, 2011

Car Culture: Ferrari Factory TourJuxtapoz // Wednesday, August 03, 2011
Robert Williams may be proud of us with this one. As you may or may not know, Juxtapoz was founded with a bit of car culture (we even made a book) and car art in our roots, and when we saw this Ferrari Factory Tour, we couldn't help but think that there was nothing more appropriate on the car culture front than this.

Re: iphone 3gs won't activate on itunes! in response to shontellefromchatham Helpful
Sorry to tell you but iPhones usually don't support prepaid or pay as you go sims unless the phone is factory or illegally unlocked. You will need to get a real Vodafone sim where you get the bill each month. You don't have to sign a contract since you own the phone but you need postpaid service. The iPhone is a high end product and was never meant for prepaid sims and other low end service types. If you really want to use it spend the money. It's worth it.

Re: iphone 3gs won't activate on itunes! in response to lec0rsaire
Thank you very much for your reply, I had used the vodafone payg sim in it before, so I'm not sure how or why the iOS 5 update has stopped the Vodafone sim working. A lot of others are saying that they have had the same problem with their iPhone 3GS since upgrading for the iOS 5, and saying that the only way to "fix it" is to have an "unauthorized" solution if that makes sense... so possibly having to have it jailbroken? Also, I have tried a contract sim on o2 in the phone and that doesn't work so do you think if I payed for it to be unlocked it would work or am I completely screwed?

This logo I designed for students learning our language. The tree, in the middle, is the cedar tree; our tree of life. It represents, the Hase', the breath of our ancestors. The roots of the tree are those who are learning our language. This depicts the understanding that our Hase?, our language, depends on each and every one of us for survival. Each of us must become more knowledgeable with the language. This will increase the longevity and lifespan of our Hase' and bring forth a time of healing for all of our people. Healing is deeply rooted to the breath of our ancestors and reconnecting to all that we are. True healing can only be found in the revitalization of our languages. In the design the roots transform into the eagles wings, this stands for the journey we are taking and how we are taking flight with the Hase'. We are taking flight with our language into the revival of our culture and our heritage.
I originally drew the design for the people in my own community who are taking teacher training and taking up the challenge of language revitalization. But, now I see it's much broader than that. The fight to revitalize our languages, is a fight for all Indigenous people, for language revitalization will be healing for all mankind and mother earth. I dedicate this design to anyone who wishes to commit to learning our languages.

|Produced by
|Joseph Sistrom
|Written by

The Saxon Charm is a 1948 drama film made by Universal International Pictures. It was written and directed by Claude Binyon and produced by Joseph Sistrom, based on a novel by Frederic Wakeman. The music score was by Walter Scharf and the cinematography was by Milton R. Krasner.
The film stars Robert Montgomery and Susan Hayward with John Payne, Audrey Totter, Harry Morgan, Harry von Zell, Cara Williams and Chill Wills.
In a hospital, theatrical producer Matt Saxon is introduced to writer Eric Busch, and ends up offering to produce Eric's new play with financing from millionaire Zack Humber.
Alma Wragg, a singer, is Saxon's girlfriend, but she warns Eric's wife Janet about the producer's notorious "Saxon charm" that coaxes others into doing his bidding, only to end up badly for everyone involved. Sure enough, Saxon's behavior soon ruins Alma's nightclub audition.
It isn't long before Saxon makes a pest of himself, interrupting a beach vacation Eric and Janet take, closing the show after a poor review, then persuading Eric to go off by himself to do rewrites. Saxon loses the financial backing of Humber so he works on his ex-wife to put up the money, not knowing she is broke.
Alma gets a chance to be in a Hollywood movie, but Saxon interferes with that as well. Janet, upset by Eric's absences, begins drinking and threatens to leave him. Eric finally punches Saxon, who is so oblivious to his destructive nature, he even contributes to his ex-wife's suicide. Eric and Janet get away from him just in time.

I have a 9 cm lipoma in my thigh wrapped around the biceps femoris muscle that has been there for 30 years but in the last 5, has suddenly tripled in size. It has started to hurt when I work out at the gym. I have had ultra sound and an MRI. I have seen a plastic surgeon who said this would be invasive surgery. Could this not be lipo-suctioned out every few years rather than taking the chance that it will return even after an invasive incision to remove it?

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Trevor Ariza hit a career-high seven 3-pointers on his way to 25 points, John Wall added 24 points and the Washington Wizards rallied from an 18-point second-half deficit to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 103-100 on Friday night. Wall had 16 assists, and Nene scored 15 points for the Wizards, who won their second straight while improving to 7-26 on the road. Down 2 points, Kobe Bryant missed a short open jumper with 5 seconds to go and Metta World Peace fouled Wall, who made both free throws. After a timeout, Bryant's 3-pointer drew the Lakers to 101-100 with 2 seconds left. But Bryant fouled Wall with 1 second to go, and he again made both. The Lakers got the ball to Bryant one last time, and he launched a 3-point attempt from the right sideline that missed as time expired. Bryant finished with 21 points and 11 assists after missing two games with a sprained left ankle. Dwight Howard added 20 points and 15 rebounds, and Jodie Meeks had 16 points off the bench a...

The most important metric for comparing fuzzing approaches is the amount of flaws the method finds. A simple approach, like random fuzzer, requires virtually no investments, but they can only find 10% of the vulnerabilities hiding in the software. A mutation-based fuzzer can find around 50% of the flaws. Once again the tool investments are minimal, but cost of using the tools and integrating them into the development processes are a lot greater. A fully model-based fuzzer can find as much as 80-90% of the flaws, but it can be the most expensive method to build and maintain. The choice of the tool is often based on integration capabilities and challenges, not coverage. If the protocol is standards-based, a model based fuzzer is often the right choice. But especially with emerging technologies and agile development processes, the specifications needed to create model-based tests are not always available. There might be no consensus on the protocol specification or the specification changes rapidly, or in some special cases the specifications are proprietary and not available to testers. In such cases traffic captures can be used to create mutation-based fuzzers. When the amount of interfaces is vast, random fuzzing might be a budgetary choice to get at least some fuzz test coverage before more advanced capabilities are introduced to the development process.
Microsoft Security Program Manager in the SDL team, Bryan Sullivan: "It is important to fuzz your parsing code periodically, but you are probably not going to find so many potential vulnerabilities doing so that you need to fuzz it every sprint."
Interestingly, with some type of fuzzing you do not need to be that picky. In many environments that I have visited, fuzzing is automated to the build process, i.e. automatically when the code builds, the fuzz process starts in the background. And why not? It is not like you need any person to monitor a fuzz process especially if you do not expect to find anything. Fuzzing actually fits very nicely to any programmers' automated unit test process, especially if you are coding protocol stacks or simple applications on top of industry standard protocols such as HTTP, SOAP and SIP.]]>
The BSIMM study by Cigital creates a new mile stone in the domain of market studies in fuzzing. It might not even attempt to describe how common the use of fuzzing is. The sample of companies also do not really indicate anything about the rest of the users of fuzzers. And the interview process itself might have not really given much emphasis on fuzzing, as all the authors really come from the static analysis mindset. But surprisingly enough, all top product security teams were found to be doing fuzzing already!
Another major milestone is studying the use of fuzzing is the inclusion of fuzzing related questions to the Forrester questionnaire, completed by thousands of CIO/CSO/CISO people annually.
I personally look forward to hearing what Cigital and Forrester have to say about the use of fuzzing. If you are interested, please give us a shout here: Fuzzing 101]]>
The authors (Gary McGraw, Brian Chess, and Sammy Migues) interviewed leading product security teams in the industry, and collected the findings. The most important discovery (or maybe the biggest surprise to the authors?) was:
0. Fuzz testing is widespread.
What kind of "last bullet" is that on a top ten list?! Let us explain. Way back in 1997 in the book Software Fault Injection, Jeff Voas and McGraw wrote about many kinds of testing that can be imposed on software. We wondered whether security was a special case for software testing. One classic way to probe software "reliability" is to send noise to a program and see what happens, i.e., fuzzing. Somehow the security community has morphed this technique into a widely applied way to look for software security problems. Wow. Who would have guessed that reliability trumps security?"
The importance of finding real and certainly critical issues in software has finally been noted as the highest priority by all leading security organizations! But we knew that, because we have been helping them in the process.]]>
For example Jayaram & Mathur from Purdue are explaining interesting measurements of using statecharts as the basis of generating message sequences for complex protocols such as TLS. Sounds pretty similar to fuzzing, at least to me, although the research at this phase is nowhere in the same domain. Today most block-based fuzzers (although some of them call themselves model-based) use extremely limited message sequence coverage, with the worst of them only take a capture of traffic, and then mutate that. The drawback with this is that you will only do message structure fuzzing, the most basic form of fuzzing.
Then if you look at the work of e.g. Gotlieband and Petit from INRIA, you can get a glimpse of what the QA people are looking at in the area of test generation. Any individual field in the protocol message can (potentially) automatically generate its own set of data based on a very basic assumptions, and therefore optimize those to finally do some intelligent permutations of multi-anomaly fuzzing. Long gone are those static libraries of anomalies (again very few real fuzzers use them today). The result is less test cases, and better test coverage.
It is interesting to see where fuzzing will go in the future, and how companies with QA background, and companies with security background will either end up in the same direction, or very different direction.]]>

Legal employment on the rise
April was a turnaround month for the nation's legal industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment grew by 1,500 jobs after two straight months of decline.
This good news for the legal sector comes after the industry lost 300 jobs in March and 2,000 in February, the website AmLaw Daily reports. Employment has increased by 1,500 positions compared to one year ago.
Still, with this month's law school graduations under way, the broader employment outlook for these folks is bleak. See this article in The New Republic, wherein University of Colorado law professor Paul Campos said the jobs picture is far more dismal than most law schools let on to students.

Who really drives job growth
Turns out it's young companies, not small businesses, that are the economy's greatest job creators. The Curious Capitalist has a brief post, at this link, that explains census data from 1992 to 2005 show that start-ups drive the job effect normally attributed to small companies.
The caveat:
Start-ups haven't been pulling their weight during the most recent economic recovery. The likely reason? This recession wasn't just about slack demand, but also about a massive credit crunch. That particularly hurt young companies, the sort often financed by credit card and home-equity loan. It may also be part of the reason jobs have been so slow to return.

Embassy Row
Morrison, James, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
Byline: James Morrison
Chinese Ambassador Yang Jiechi yesterday said China would use force to bring about the "peaceful reunification" of Taiwan.
He also insisted that China has an independent judiciary, when asked about the 10-year prison sentence imposed yesterday on Chinese-born American scholar Gao Zhan for spying.
Mr. Yang, in remarks before the National Press Club, said China wants improved relations with the United States but warned the Bush administration it could "cause serious harm" if it mishandles the Taiwan issue. President Bush, who is due to visit China later this year, has said the United States will defend Taiwan against any Chinese attempt to reunify the island by force. Secretary of State Colin L. Powell is scheduled to visit China Saturday.
"While I am optimistic about . . . the tremendous potential for China-U.S. cooperation, I don't mean there are no sticking points," Mr. Yang said.
"To China, the issue of biggest concern is the Taiwan question, which, if not properly handled, will cause serious harm to China-U.S. relations because it is an issue that touches the sentiments of the 1.3 billion Chinese people and bears on China's sovereignty, territorial integrity and national reunification."
Mr. Yang insisted China is a "peace-loving country" that will never "seek to any kind of dominance in the region or the world."
However, he added, "We will not give up the possibility of the use of force precisely for the purpose of bringing about the peaceful reunification of the country."
Mr. Yang said force could be necessary to "deter some extremists on the island and anywhere else from championing the so-called cause of Taiwan independence."
The new U.S. ambassador to Israel yesterday said he is trying to persuade Israelis to accept foreign observers to monitor a cease-fire with the Palestinians.
Ambassador Daniel Kurtzer also called on Egypt and Jordan to send their ambassadors back to Israel.
Mr. Kurtzer, who presented his diplomatic credentials to Israeli President Moshe Katsav, said he is "very encouraged by the first week that I've had in Israel and the quality of our discussions. …

IRC Nationals 2008 Photo: RNZYS
Boat owners will now be able to apply for an 'unendorsed' IRC certificate – one where they get a rating by simply measuring the boat themselves, saving on the time and expense of weighing and measurement by an official measurer.
The use of unendorsed certificates is very common in most other countries who have used IRC, and the decision to allow unendorsed certificates will help New Zealand's IRC fleet grow by making the process substantially cheaper and easier for the owners.
The decision was made by the IRC Owners Association which is a group of boat owners committed to generating competitive racing for IRC boats throughout the country. The Association hopes to get an increase in smaller boats using the rating rule so that divisions can be created based on boat length, which will give fairer and more rewarding racing.
The IRC Owners Association says that as a measurement based rule it rewards boat preparation and sailing ability and not rewarding mediocrity. The IRC Owners Association are committed to seeing it succeed in New Zealand and supporting the many yacht owners who have an IRC certificate.
The 2009/2010 IRC Racing Calendar is currently being planned with the National Championships being held during the Line 7 Regatta in Wellington. There will also be IRC divisions in the Auckland to Noumea race and Around North Island Race. The IRC 2009/2010 calendar will be published shortly.
IRC Nationals 2008 Photo: RNZYS
2010 IRC Nationals Venue & Dates Announced
Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club has been awarded the 2010 IRC Nationals which will be run conjunction with the Line 7 Regatta from 12th – 14th February 2010. The Line 7 Regatta will be part of the stop over for the fully crewed Round North Island Race.
The IRC Nationals will be run in two divisions starting 5 minutes apart sailing same course. Courses will be a combination of windward leeward, triangles and harbour courses
IRC works well at club racing level
Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club in Wellington was one of the early adopters of IRC and over the last three seasons it has generally worked well for the club. Because IRC is a rating rule not a performance based handicap RPNYC use it as the "top end" system.
IRC Nationals 2008 Photo: RNZYS
The RPNYC fleet races in three divisions...
Div 1 ranges from Davidson 55 – Young 11 – Ross 10.6 - Thompson 30. - MRX
Div 2 includes Farr 1020 - Ross 930 – Young 88's - Mull 9.5's
Presidents Div – predominantly cruising boats
Results for Divisions 1 & 2 are calculated using IRC, PHRF and General handicap. RPNYC awards race prizes, series prizes and season championships for results under IRC, PHRF and General Handicap.
Those boats that are rated under IRC enjoy close racing on corrected time, with boats separated on corrected time by very small margins. On any given day, the winner on IRC could be a Davidson 55, Young 11, Farr MRX, Davidson 35, Warwick 10.6 Farr 1020 or Young 88.
Mike Urwin Visit
Mike Urwin – Technical Director, RORC Rating Office visited Auckland and Wellington in early May to talk to local sailors about the IRC rating system. Mike commented that the New Zealand fleet included some boats by local designers such as Elliott, Thompson and Ross that were significantly lighter in displacement than the typical European IRC fleet.
Based on the weight and hull measurements, the rating office tended to view these boats as more racer than racer/cruiser. But when he looked at the interior of some of these boats which are fitted out for cruising, he conceded that perhaps there was some room for latitude in the interpretation of racer/cruiser as it applied to NZ boats and that hull factor might improve, resulting in a corresponding reduction in the IRC TCC. So it's important that owners/measurers submit photos of the interior to clearly identify cruising accommodations such as ovens, fridges, tanks etc rather than RORC drawing the conclusion that these boats are stripped out race boats.
Mike suggested that the other areas to look at are rig configuration. Many of the New Zealand fleet have "tweaky" rigs with small mast sections, triple spreaders, jumpers, runners and check stays. If you are getting measurable performance benefits your rig stick with it. But if not then consider removing the check stays, runners and jumpers. Each change might be worth 0.003 off your IRC TCC.
Mike also recommended that sails are re-measured regularly. Why? Because they will have almost certainly shrunk and you might find that you can take a drop in rating simply by re-measuring them. A quick check of the luff length (LL on your IRC Certificate) and the cross width (LP) compared to the measurements on the copy of the IRC certificate kept onboard will confirm if the sail has shrunk. A check with the rating office might result in a drop of 0.002 in your IRC TCC. Similar checks to the mainsail foot and hoists might reveal similar reductions, since sail area is one of the big factors in IRC.
Sail selection is another area that can have a big impact on the IRC TCC. Boats in Auckland should probably measure their biggest sails, whereas boats in windy Wellington should probably measure smaller headsails and fractional spinnakers.

One of the TV station's first on the scene for Tiger Woods' car accident, WESH-TV in Orlando, reports today:
(Docs: Still not buying it?)
A local psychiatrist weighed in on news that Tiger Woods has been attending a sex addiction clinic, and said that the golf star could have controlled his urges if he wanted. Forensic psychiatrist Jeff Danziger said sex addiction is not a recognized mental disorder.
Danziger said. "In the catalog of mental disorders, there's nothing in there that says sex addiction. It's not in there. … It doesn't rise to the level of a diagnosis."
Two distinguished British psychiatrists concurred to the BBC in 2008:
Phillip Hodson, fellow of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, says the term "addiction" is not appropriate for this behaviour, which would be better described as obsessive, compulsive or even greedy.
Some very successful men have a habit of thinking they can get away with anything, especially behaviour they view as exciting, he says.
"Sexual addiction is a relatively recent American, jargonized category of personality behaviour.
"It uses a medical model - 'I'm an addict, I've got an illness and need a 12-step programme.' But I don't buy into it."
Glenn Wilson of England's Institution of Psychiatry:
"The original idea of addiction was that you had a chemical hijacking of the circuits of the brain built to give you pleasure as reward for doing things of a survival value, such as eating or having sex."
"But to turn round and argue that one is addicted to chocolate or sex, which are activities you would expect to be rewarded in survival terms, strikes me as hijacking the concept of addiction.
"It's a way that people signal to the world that they think they have a problem and need to break it."
But they are no different from anyone else, he says, because we all have sexual drives which can get us into trouble without inhibition or control.
This all lends to the theory that Woods attending a "sex addiction clinic" is more publicity ploy than genuine attempt to curb naturally occurring compulsive behavior that affects most of the population.
But while his behavior may not be based on biochemistry, I don't think it's unreasonable to think that therapy he may be receiving could be helpful in getting his sexual appetites under control.
All of us are tempted every day and the most successful among us are usually those who can resist destructive compulsions. From what we now know about Woods' behavior, it appears he was unable to resist sexual temptation to the point of it ruining his personal and professional life.
Don't care what box you want to put his behavior in, dude needed help.

2015 Legislative Agenda
MCCA respectfully asks the Governor and General Assembly to:
- Provide adequate and equitable funding to maintain core operating budgets at all Missouri public colleges and universities. MCCA strongly supports legislation that will provide $15 million in equity funding for community colleges.
- Keep the A+ promise. Restore full funding – including, if necessary, a supplemental appropriation – to guarantee that students meeting A+ requirements receive full tuition and fees at a community college or technical school. A+ should not be expanded unless the program is fully funded.
- Develop and implement a spending plan that will provide substantial, on-going investment in Missouri's public college and university facilities.
- Achieve adequate support and funding for programs, such as the Missouri Works Training Program, that enhance workforce competitiveness and economic development.
Clockwise from top left, delegates from Three Rivers College meet at the Capitol in 2013; college representatives speak with Rep. Mike Thomson; St. Louis Community College students support MCCA.

In 2012, trends have once again turned to the 'roaring twenties' for inspiration, a decade which did wonders for the realms of fashion, and jewellery was no exception. Here's how to add a twenties twist to your wardrobe with jewellery courtesy of Hainault based independent jewellers EK Jewellers (http://www.ekjewellers.co.uk):
Beaded Beauty
Beads were big business in the 1920s, and have been going strong in recent years too. Long strings of beads were particularly popular, and are an easy way to jazz up a plain outfit. Ask your local jeweller about strings of long pearls – in every colour imaginable – or for a more cost effective option, check your local jewellery shop for long necklaces made from coloured crystal and glass beads.
Decadent Designs
As well as long strings of beads, intricate chocker style necklaces were also the rage, as were dangly, decadent earrings. Both of these options are great for party looks; your local jeweller will even be able to custom make a design to your exact specifications. Bold colours were particularly popular, so ask your local independent jeweller about the use of stones such as black oynx or green sapphires to achieve the look.
Antique Brooches
Delicate brooch designs in sparkly crystal and diamond were extremely popular during the 1920s, many of which were inspired by nature, such as motifs featuring leaves and petals. If you're lucky enough to have an heirloom brooch, perhaps even a brooch from the 1920s itself, you could always ask your local independent jeweller to restore it to its former glory: your brooch will receive specialist love and attention from an expert at your local jewellery shop to bring it back to its roaring self.
And don't forget the all-important 1920s' Finishing Touch: Beautiful Headwear
Think 1920s and you think about the beautiful headpieces that the chic Charleston girls wore. This look can easily be achieved by wearing one of the aforementioned brooches in your hair.
However, if you really want to push the boat out with 2012 twenties' trends, ask the experts at EK Jewellers in Essex (http://www.ekjewellers.co.uk) to custom make a 1920s style headpiece for you: by adding this great finishing touch to any party outfit, you'll be ready to throw a Charleston move or two on the dance floor before you know it!

The Obama administration offered as much as $4 billion in loan guarantees today for clean and efficient energy and fuel projects, rejuvenating a program that not long ago was a political punching bag. The Department of Energy is making up to $4 billion in loan support available to foster technology and equipment for the grid, transportation and housing technologies that would curb emissions and complement President Obama's climate initiative.

Birthplace of offshore wind farms struggles to cope with government subsidy cuts
The offshore wind industry has been concentrated in Europe, where North Sea winds provide excellent power generation conditions. Support from government subsidies in Denmark, Britain and Germany has helped create global leaders among turbine manufacturers and offshore wind farm builders and operators here. But even as the industry embarks on an ambitious quest to significantly lower the cost of energy, wind power produced at sea still costs more than on land. And just as offshore wind is finally showing signs of life in other regions, like the United States and Japan, subsidies are being cut in Europe, raising worries about whether the industry will be able to grow and become self-sufficient.
Vestas to make turbines for wind farm in Minnesota
Danish wind-turbine maker Vestas Wind Systems said its factories in Colorado will help fill an order from Broomfield-based Renewable Energy Systems Americas Inc. for 83 wind turbines. Vestas workers in Colorado will make towers, blades and nacelles for the project in Minnesota, the company said this week. The company has factories in Brighton, Windsor and Pueblo.
New York Towns Can Prohibit Fracking, State's Top Court Rules
In a decision with far-reaching implications for the future of natural gas drilling in New York State, its highest court ruled on Monday that towns can use zoning ordinances to ban hydraulic fracturing, the controversial extraction method known as fracking. Since the issue arose about six years ago, there has been a statewide moratorium on fracking, and the State Health Department is currently studying its potential health effects. But in recent years some towns, worried that the state would eventually allow the practice, have taken matters into their own hands by banning fracking within their borders. Among them, two towns — Dryden, in Tompkins County, and Middlefield, in Otsego County — amended their zoning laws in 2011 to prohibit fracking, on the basis that it would threaten the health, environment and character of the communities.
80,000 acres off Md. coast to be auctioned in August
Nearly 80,000 acres in Maryland will be auctioned for offshore wind development in August, federal and state officials announced today. Located about 10 nautical miles from Ocean City, Md., the Maryland Wind Energy Area will be auctioned Aug. 19 as two leases. The north area covers 32,737 acres, while the south area comprises 46,970 acres. If fully developed, the area would generate enough electricity to power 300,000 homes.
Nev. regulator picked to lead in development of 'real time' Western market
Rebecca Wagner was unanimously picked by members of an advisory group at the California Independent System Operator Corp. to lead an efforts to develop a governance structure for an energy imbalance market, or EIM, which will pool energy resources in parts of Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Wagner, who's a member of the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada, would lead the advisory group, dubbed the Energy Imbalance Market Transitional Committee, made up of nine representatives nominated by regional industry stakeholders, as well as PacifiCorp and NV Energy — two companies that will take part in the market. NV Energy, notably, is the biggest authority in the state with its subsidiaries providing power to 85 percent of Nevada.
EPA extends public hearings on power plant rule
U.S. EPA will give commenters in four cities an additional day at the end of this month to make statements for or against its proposal for existing power plants. The agency had planned one-day hearings in Atlanta, Denver, Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C., for the last week of July, but it announced today that each session will now run for two days. The hearings in Atlanta, Denver and Washington will be held on July 29 and 30, and the one in Pittsburgh will run on July 31 and Aug. 1.
DOE's $150M loan guarantee to push Cape Wind to finish line
The Energy Department today announced a $150 million conditional loan guarantee for the Cape Wind project, a strong signal that the almost 15-year quest to build the first commercial offshore wind farm may soon cross the finish line. "The Department's loan guarantees have assisted the launch of new industries in the U.S., and today's announcement of a conditional commitment to the Cape Wind project demonstrates our intent to help build a strong U.S. offshore wind industry," Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said in a statement. The project would generate 360 megawatts of electricity — a tiny step toward the White House goal to deploy 54 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030.
Renewable energy set to skyrocket globally, study says, but coal backers push back
Global adoption of renewable energy shows no signs of slowing over the next 15 years, with nearly two-thirds of an expected $7.7 trillion in new investment going toward non-fossil power generation, according to new projections by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. In particular, major additions of solar and wind energy will continue to displace coal as a primary source of power generation across many of the world's largest economies, while shale gas will remain a key factor in U.S. energy markets at least through 2024, BNEF said in the latest "2030 Market Outlook," released this morning.
9 states join Murray Energy lawsuit against EPA rulemaking
Nine states have joined to support Murray Energy Corp.'s litigation against U.S. EPA's rulemaking to control greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants. Filed last month in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Murray's complaint accuses EPA of running afoul of the Clean Air Act's plain language. "The 'specific prohibition' against EPA's proposed rule is in the very statutory provision the agency cites as its authority," says the brief from Alabama, Alaska, Kentucky, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, West Virginia and Wyoming.

Aaron Rodgers throws three touchdown passes as Green Bay beat Chicago
Green Bay clinched the NFC North title for the second straight season with a 21-13 victory over Chicago.
Last Updated: 18/12/12 8:00am
James Jones had three touchdown receptions from Aaron Rodgers' passes to take his total for the season to 12, as the Packers moved to 10-4 on the season.
The Bears started the season 7-1 but have lost five of their last six games and at 8-6 are struggling to earn an NFL wild card berth.
Chicago started well with a 15-yard catch-and-run touchdown from Brandon Marshall, his 10th TD of the season, while misfiring Packers kicker Mason Crosby was woefully wide with a 43-yard field goal try, his 11th miss of the season.
But Green Bay rapidly found their passing game as Rodgers led an 85-yard drive that was completed by a 29-yard touchdown pass to Jones.
An interception by Casey Hayward - the rookie's sixth pick of the season - with 1:57 left in the half gave Rodgers the chance to hit Jones with an eight-yard pass - his 31st touchdown hook-up of the season.
After the break Rodgers repeated the trick, finding Jones from six yards out to set up a 21-7 lead.
Crosby's miserable season continued as he hit an upright from 42 yards and although Chicago twice forced their way into the red zone, twice they had to settle for Olindo Mare field goals, both from 34 yards.
Chicago's woeful third down conversion rate of 0/9 told its own story as the Bears slumped to a sixth straight defeat at the hands of their fierce rivals.

Owner Jeff Frey prepares orders of brisket in the kitchen of Fat Daddy's BBQ in Georgetown. / Staff photo by Joe Lamberti
Fat Daddy's BBQ owners Jeff and Brenda Frey sit on the bench outside their Georgetown restaurant. On previous page, Jeff cooks up an order of brisket, a plate of which is shown at top.
Now that the cold weather has finally broken albeit reappearing in short spurts its the perfect time to break out the grill to get in the spirit of cooking outdoors.
With grilling being a great twist on traditional cooking for novices, the experienced and those in-between, its important to do it right in order to not only get the most optimum experience, but also optimum taste.
What is sometimes lost among many novice backyard grillers is that there can be more to barbecuing than just lighting the coals or gas and slathering on the sauce of choice on meat. Sometimes, what can be a hobby can also be a labor of love.
Just ask Todd Wampler.
Wampler, co-owner of Station 7 in Pittsville, got into barbecuing while attending Johnson & Wales University in Charleston, S.C. It was there where he was influenced by the Southern style of barbecue.
There were a lot of barbecue joints there and I fell in love with it, he said. Im more inclined doing the Southern style. Southern style is more vinegar-based and the northern style is tomato-based. I think the vinegar base brings out the flavor more. I think the tomato-based sauces mask the flavor more.
Wampler is a good person to seek out for advice for the casual cook, as hes grilled things ranging from the simplistic like ribs to the unconventional, like fish. Wampler said his favorite thing to barbecue is beef brisket.
Its a cheap and affordable cut of meat and its flavorful when done right, he said. The most difficult thing to smoke is fish, but if youre talking about regular meats, its ribs, because you can overcook them and make them tough or they can fall apart. I like pork ribs, personally, because you can get a better yield out of it. I think beef ribs, while good, there can be a lot of shrinkage with it.
Sometimes what goes on the meat can be just as key as the kind of meat used. Wampler said when seasoning, dont overdo it.
It can be done especially with salt, he said. Salt will draw the moisture out of meat and make it dry. With pork ribs, dont overdo it. Just put on a real light coat and rub it in.
The method of cooking on the grill can differ depending on the goal. For barbecuing, Wampler said 30 minutes to two hours would be needed in comparison to smoking, which can be a two- to five-hour effort.
With smoking, which is much different from barbecuing, meat should be cooked no higher than 225 degrees.
When youre talking about amateur grilling, just burning it in the backyard, its low and slow, said Brenda Frey, who co-owns Fat Daddys BBQ in Georgetown, along with her husband, Jeff. Everybody thinks they can do it high and fast. Jeff couldnt do a rack of ribs on a grill, but once you get a smoker, you can perfect. This is something you do in the backyard perfecting. You could be looking at 12 to 14 hours (overall), not just four hours.
Wampler said when smoking meat, soak wood chips in water before putting them on the grill. He uses maple chips. For the charcoal user, he recommends putting the coal on one side of the grill and the food on the opposite side to cook it with indirect heat.
Sometimes what makes the barbecue is the sauce. Frey said being creative and making sauces can pay big dividends and jazz up the standard fare.
Its just being a mad scientist in your kitchen and its something that you have to work on, she said. Its something that you have to make sure that its consistent.
Wampler said when experimenting, there are two ingredients to start with and help build a strong foundation.
I would say most barbecue sauces start with ketchup and brown sugar and then go from there, he said. We make a vinegar based-sauce with probably 15 different things. A lot of our stuff has firefighter-based terms and when cooking things like brisket, I use a mustard-based sauce.
After making the sauce, the next step is knowing when to apply it.
Some will start basting their sauce over the high heat, Wampler said. The sauces can be full of sugar, so I think its better to baste it just about when its going to come off the grill.
Frey said all the time her husband spent out in the backyard was an example of hard work paying off and hours of perfecting.
You have to work it out for you and do whats best for you, she said. Weve had to figure it out. We have sat there and they have told people, youve got to be a person who loves to do it and you have to have the time to do it.
Cold smoked bluefish
Cold smoked bluefish

Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt
1) Put the bluefish into a brine consisting of the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, and add the thyme, onions, peppercorns, water, kosher salt and a portion of the capers into the mix.
2) After brining, cold smoke the fish on indirect heat at 150 degrees for two hours.
3) Let the fish cool and serve with red onions and capers.

Ten days of… cheap whisky
Tasting notes by Ruben Luyten - Posted in * News
The holiday season has arrived, everyone is trying to save some money in order to go on vacation. The financial crisis isn't helping us either…
This is the time to look at some cheaper whisky (make that "more accessible" whisky), available for € 50 or less. I know there are good bottles to be found in this market segment.
It will be quite a random anti-crisis selection, we'll have newly released Scotch single malts (both official bottlings and independent releases) but also Spanish and American whisky and a single grain. There's even an uncommon brand of Japanese whisky that we haven't tried before.

This is the 10th consecutive year that the Atlanta-based company has documented a year-over-year increase in both revenues and numbers of signs sold. Consistent upward growth in product, sales and fiscal expansion are also behind Radarsign's rise to become one of America's top two suppliers of radar speed signs in only 10 years.
In addition to law enforcement, Radarsign saw continued momentum in sales to municipalities and schools. The driving factor behind decisions to purchase Radarsign products, according to customer satisfaction surveys, is a combination of rugged dependability, effectiveness and affordability.
"There is a school zone as you drive into Vidalia," said Captain Randy Clark of the Vidalia Police Department in Vidalia, Georgia. "As cars come in drivers see the sign and they slow down. And, because we don't have to keep an officer posted there all the time now, the signs solve a manpower issue, which also helps with budgeting–an important factor in this economy."
A commitment to serve the law enforcement community has been an integral part of the Radarsign ideology since the company was founded. As a former Georgia State Trooper, Co-founder and Managing Partner Ken Bass has always considered the development of Radarsign as an opportunity to supplement the public safety efforts of local law enforcement.
"Law enforcement officers are not solely focused on enforcing the law. Educating the public is also important," says Ken Bass. "Radarsign driver feedback signs do just that. They remind drivers of the speed limit and tell them when they are driving too fast."
Radar speed signs from Radarsign are scientifically-
"Working with officers across the nation has led to some of our most innovative solutions," said Charlie Robeson, Radarsign co-founder and managing partner. "Radarsign'
