Frano Michael Botica (born 3 August 1963) is a former rugby union and rugby league player. Born in Mangakino, New Zealand, he represented New Zealand at both codes, and also played for Croatia in a rugby union World Cup qualifying match.
Rugby union[edit]
Botica played domestic club rugby union for North Harbour and Llanelli and spent a period in France. Botica also played rugby league for Wigan Warriors and Castleford Tigers.
Botica appeared for New Zealand Māori (between 1985 and 1989), New Zealand Emerging Players (1985), North Island in the 1986 inter-island match, the national sevens side in eight international tournaments between 1985 and 1988 and for the Anzac XV that played the British Lions in Australia in 1989. He even appeared in the Super 12: once for the Chiefs in 1998.
In the early part of his Rugby Union career he was a rival to Grant Fox for the All Blacks number 10 jersey. Botica was regarded as more a running player whereas Fox was considered a superior kicker and it was his rival who eventually won the selectors' favour, forcing Botica to the bench and restricting the number of Union tests he played.
He was a part of the first ever New Zealand sevens team to win a Hong Kong Sevens title.
He is ranked 5th in the top 5 North Harbour legends.[citation needed]
Rugby league[edit]
Club career[edit]
Botica joined the Wigan rugby league club in British league in 1990 in what was an exodus of All Black backs to rugby league including Matthew Ridge (Manly-Warringah), John Gallagher (Leeds) and John Schuster (Newcastle Knights). While at Wigan he became a prolific points scorer and the fastest man in the history of British league to reach 1,000 points.
In 1991 he played for the New Zealand Māori side in his first match of rugby league in New Zealand.[1]
During the 1991–92 Rugby Football League season, he played for defending champions Wigan on the wing in their 21-4 victory against the visiting Australian champions Penrith in the 1991 World Club Challenge played in front of 20,152 fans at the Anfield ground in Liverpool.
During the 1992–93 Rugby Football League season, Botica played at Five-eighth for defending RFL champions Wigan in the 1992 World Club Challenge against the visiting 1992 Winfield Cup premiers, the Brisbane Broncos. Brisbane became the first Australian side to win the World Club Challenge in England when they defeated Wigan 22-8 in front of 17,764 fans at Wigan's Central Park.
Frano Botica played Stand-off/Five-eighth, and scored 2-conversions and a drop goal in Wigan's 5-4 victory over St. Helens in the 1992 Lancashire Cup final during the 1992–93 season at Knowsley Road, St. Helens on Sunday 18 October 1992.[2]
Frano Botica played Stand-off/Five-eighth, and scored 3-conversions in Wigan's 15-8 victory over Bradford Northern in the 1992–93 Regal Trophy final during the 1992–93 season at Elland Road, Leeds on Saturday 23 January 1993,[3] played Stand-off/Five-eighth, and scored a conversion in the 2-33 defeat by Castleford in the 1993–94 Regal Trophy final during the 1993–94 season at Elland Road, Leeds on Saturday 22 January 1994, and played Stand-off/Five-eighth, and scored a try and 8-conversions in the 40-10 victory over Warrington in the 1994–95 Regal Trophy final during the 1994–95 season at Alfred McAlpine Stadium, Huddersfield on Saturday 28 January 1995,[4] Frano Botica holds the record for the most conversions in a Regal Trophy (or precursors) final with 8-conversions, and holds the record for the most points in a Regal Trophy (or precursors) final with 16-points.
After the 1993–94 Rugby Football League season, Botica travelled with defending champions Wigan to Brisbane, playing at five-eighth in the 1994 World Club Challenge. Again playing the Broncos, this time at the ANZ Stadium in Brisbane, Wigan reversed the 1992 result with a 20-14 win in front of a WCC record attendance of 54,220 fans, including a number of Wigan supporters who had travelled to Australia to watch the game. Known as a deadly accurate goal kicker, Botica kicked four goals from four attempts on the night.
Botica set a new record for most goals in a season for Wigan when he kicked 186 during the 1994–95 Rugby Football League season.[5] He returned to New Zealand to play for the Auckland Warriors during their inaugural year in 1995, before returning to England to play for the Castleford Tigers in 1996.[6]
Botica played in seven internationals for New Zealand between 1991 and 1993.
He made his test debut at Fullback against France at Carlaw Park in Auckland on 13 June 1991, kicking eight goals as the Kiwis thrashed the visitors 60-6. He then backed that up with a 6-goal performance in the second test in Christchurch. His selection had seen him flown in from England for the series after a dispute between the New Zealand Rugby League and Manly-Warringah over compensation saw in-form test incumbent Matthew Ridge become unavailable. This dispute, and his own solid form, saw Botica keep his spot for the first test of the 1991 Trans-Tasman Test series against Australia in Melbourne where he kicked four goals and helped the Kiwis to a shock 24-8 win over the Kangaroos. Botica played fullback for the Kiwis in all three tests of the series, eventually won 2-1 by Australia who easily won the second test 44-0 at the Sydney Football Stadium before wrapping up the series with a 40-12 win at Lang Park in Brisbane. The goal kicking Kiwi fullback won praise from Australian coach Bob Fulton who proclaimed that he could play as well as any fullback in the Winfield Cup. Botica kicked six goals from eight attempts (75%) during the test series.
Botica's final two tests came during the Kiwi's 1993 Tour of Great Britain and France. He played on the wing during the final two tests of the series against the Great Britain Lions at Central Park in Wigan and at Headingley in Leeds, though the Lions, who had won the first test at Wembley, went on to win the series 3-0. He was not selected for the test against France at the end of the tour and would never again play a test for the Kiwis.
Despite eventually becoming a five-eighth in rugby league, Botica spent much of his time in the 13-aside code, including five of his seven tests for New Zealand at fullback.
Return to Union[edit]
When rugby union became openly professional, Botica returned to the 15-a-side code to play for Llanelli in Wales and then in France. And in the late 1990s he even played for Croatia in a World Cup qualifying match. In his late 30s he returned for the North Harbour Rugby Union in New Zealand and played several matches, mainly off the bench.
Later years[edit]
In 2009 Botica worked with the New Zealand Warriors as a kicking coach.[7] Botica's son Ben is a former member of North Harbour's ITM Cup squad, has represented New Zealand Schoolboys,[8] and currently plays for Aviva Premiership side Harlequin F.C.[9]

District 1
Restaurants in District 1
In Vietnam, restaurants with incandescent lighting generally serve dull food, while fluorescent-lit joints with toilet-paper dispensers for napkins turn out the tastiest cooking.
For 13 years, Monday through Saturday, the Lunch Lady has set up shop on a patch of pavement on Hoang Sa Street near the zoo—working from 11 a.m. until she runs out of food, which happens quickly.
Open 24 hours and usually packed for nearly all of them, Nhu Lan is one of the city's most accomplished bakeries—but the real draw are the banh mi thit paté.
A Ho Chi Minh City institution, Quan An Ngon employs ex-street vendors, who prepare a selection of traditional, regional fare.
Americans have gone crazy for this ingenious French-Vietnamese sandwich, but you haven't really tasted banh mi until you've tracked down the venerated Gai Banh Mi cart in Ho Chi Minh City's First District.
The concept behind this attractive, open-air restaurant is brilliant: the owner recruited several dozen of the city's most popular street-food vendors to ply their trade under one roof.
This rough-and-tumble joint with metal tables and plastic chairs serves the very best crab in town.
Just yards from Reunification Palace, this airy café makes an agreeable stop for breakfast, lunch, or a simple snack and coffee, especially on hot afternoons.
At this open-air barbecue-and-beer garden, patrons grill strips of tangy marinated beef—bo tung xeo—on tabletop braziers and share pitchers of foamy local beer. The kitchen also dishes up specialties like deep-fried scorpion, bonded chicken feet, and fried pig's stomach.
A spin-off of the trendy Xu restaurant down the block, this upmarket fast-food joint specializes in bun bo Hue, the spicy noodle soup customarily found at humble sidewalk stalls across Vietnam.
Into an outsize wok the chef tosses a fistful of bean sprouts, pork, shrimp, and/or mushrooms, then pours in a slick of marigold-yellow batter, rich with coconut milk. The resulting crêpe is the size of a Monopoly board—so large it overwhelms the table, let alone the plate.
Pho, Vietnam's national dish—a rich beef consommé spiked with clove, star anise, and ginger and laced with noodles and fresh basil and cilantro—gets the fast-food treatment at this popular chain, with surprisingly inspired results. Follow the Vietnamese and go for breakfast.
This cool Mexican bar-restaurant—owned by several members of the design collective from Gaya, just up the block—has quickly become an expat favorite for its mean margaritas, micheladas, and tacos al pastor.
Seemingly beamed in from Sydney or Los Angeles, this sleek eatery is one in a new breed of Saigon restaurants.
Should you tire of Vietnamese food and crave a heart-stopping infusion of butter, cheese, and cholesterol—in the form of escargots, Brie du Meaux, and saucisson sec—this tiny, charming bistro is for you.

Four community meetings will be held next week to share design concepts for a proposed new main library to be built in Onley on land donated by Shore Bank. The meetings follow a series of sessions held last May to gather ideas from the public on what they would like to see in a new facility.
As a result of those meetings, the architectural firm Tymoff + Moss of Norfolk has created concept drawings that show a proposed floor plan and exterior elevations for a new building. The public will have a chance to comment on the drawings.
The new main library will replace the aging library built in 1964 in Accomac. The concept drawings call for a library of more than 30,000 square feet, tripling the size of the current facility. There would be greatly enlarged computer facilities, more room for children and young adults, public meeting areas, more room for stacks, enlarged office space for staff, and quiet areas for reading and study.
The drawings also call for a greatly enhanced area for Eastern Shore history, including collections of books, photographs, manuscripts and genealogical materials.
As with the first series of public meetings held last May, this round of meetings will be held at the four libraries on the Eastern Shore. The first meeting, on Monday, Jan. 14, will be at Eastern Shore Public Library in Accomac and will be facilitated by John Tymoff, the architect. A second meeting will be held at the Cape Charles Memorial Library on Tuesday, a third on Wednesday at Northampton Free Library in Nassawadox, and a fourth on Thursday at the Island Library in Chincoteague.
The final three meetings will be facilitated by Paul Berge of the Eastern Shore Public Library Foundation.
All meetings will begin at 7 p.m. and light refreshments will be served.

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
Who's killing Uganda's leading Muslim clerics?
Ben Piven | 16 Jul 2012 07:25 GMT | Israel
Before the day's events unfolded, the first anniversary of Israel's popular protests of 2011 had been feared by many activists of becoming yet another botched attempt to revitalise their social movement.Instead of proving the concerns correct, the July 14 event has provided the movement its most powerful and shocking symbol – the image of a down-on-his-luck son of a Holocaust survivor setting himself on fire to protest a long battle with the government to receive social services. In doing so, 57-year-old Moshe Silman may have rallied an angrier set of demonstrators behind the cause and given new life to Israel's social protest movement. The Haifa native used the opportunity to highlight his frustration with an increasingly desperate economic and health situation, and now his life hangs in the balance. It was the first self-immolation in Israel since an opponent of the Gaza disengagement let herself alight in 2005."What Moshe did represents the whole range of problems of our society when a person loses everything and comes to authorities to get help and they deny him," Alon Lee-Green, an activist with the social movement in Tel Aviv, told Al Jazeera.
"And then he cried out for help. They told him, we can't help you. But this was not a personal problem but a national problem," he said.
"Our movement stands with every man and woman who suffers from these problems. It is not only their problem. It is our problem. We are all July 14. And if he dies, it will be bring [everyone] into the streets."
Crowds swarmed around Silman on Saturday evening, trying to douse the flames with shirts and water. But the fire engulfed his body, and his suicide note was left to indict the system for what it had done to his life.
"I accuse the state of Israel, Netanyahu and [Finance Minister] Yuval Steinitz, the bastards, for the humiliation that the weakened citizens of Israel endure on a daily basis," the letter said.
Mixed reactions
After the incident, Silman was transferred from a hospital in Tel Aviv to the intensive care unit at Tel Hashomer's Sheba Medical Center, where he is fighting severe burns on more than 90 per cent of his body. In critical condition, he was expected to be moved to the burns unit once a bed there became available later on Sunday.
A representative of the hospital told Al Jazeera that she was not legally authorised by Silman's family to share any information about his condition with the media, but there are persistent rumours that he is already dead.
On Sunday, hundreds of protesters clamoured in Tel Aviv in support of Silman. Outside the prime minister's residence in Jerusalem many Israelis gathered under the banner: "We're all Moshe Silman: The Blood is on The Government's Hands", and carrying signs that read, "Bibi, you burned us, too", in reference to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
As protesters were rallying behind Silman, some officials were eager to downplay his graphic and high-profile act.
Mark Regev, spokesman for Netanyahu, said the tragedy was a "humanitarian situation and had nothing to do with politics".
Eytan Schwartz, an adviser to the Tel Aviv mayor, said in an email, "While this tragic incident took place in Tel Aviv, it really has nothing to do with the city establishment. The person who lit himself came from outside of Tel Aviv to protest in a large manifestation which took place in the city."
Israel's National Insurance Institute, which was handed Silman's claims, and which Silman accused from his Facebook page last March of being the "Anti-Social National Insurance Institute", declined to comment.
Red-tape tribulations
According to an article by Haaretz which chronicled his long fight with government bureaucracies, Silman owned a transport company that went out of business after a series of run-ins involving the confiscation of his trucks due to chronic debt problems.
The seizure of his company's vehicles exacerbated his financial woes, and he sank deeper into debt. Between the beginning of his economic decline in 2002 and the unsuccessful lawsuit he filed in 2008, his income faltered, and with that, his personal health.
His bank accounts were seized in order to pay off spiralling debts, which reportedly approached $100,000. Following a stroke, his monthly disability payment was just 2,300 shekels ($581). With help from his sisters, he managed to scrape by.
Silman was unable to resume even the part-time taxi driving he had been doing because his license was revoked due to health reasons. The government stopped his pension last December, and only resumed it two months ago. He soon to become homeless, after the housing ministry declared him ineligible for public housing.
When he joined the social protest movement in Haifa when rallies began last summer, he may have never anticipated the exposure he would bring to the cause.
Activists portrayed his story as the archetypal citizen, falling through society's cracks. The prime minister on Sunday referred to his plight as a pedestrian "tragedy" that should be "looked into" by the housing and social affairs ministries.
He presented an opportunity for Labour opposition leader Shelly Yachimovich to rail against the government's tough criteria for certain welfare benefits, but she also said cautiously that Silman "definitely must not be seen as a symbol of the social justice protest".
Carmel Shama-Hacohen, chairman of the Knesset Finance Committee and a member of the prime minister's party, said on Sunday that he intended to carry out a detailed investigation of Silman's case.
Silman's sister, Bat-Tsion Elul, in an interview with Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot, said "He fell on his luck when they took everything - his business, trucks and house. His situation has deteriorated ever since ... He could not stand it. He turned to all the agencies and got no answer."
"Now everyone just wants to understand 'why'," his friend Shai Gali told Yediot. "Moshe was in a generally difficult situation after his health problems."
His neighbours told local media that he was barely alive, with no money, and lived in great distress. They said they never imagined that he would hurt himself.
'Guy next door'
In the end, the man who swore to his friends that he would never live on the streets, attempted to die on one. What his act will come to symbolise, is still open for interpretation.
On Sunday, activists across Israel began changing their Facebook photos to pictures of Saturday night's burn victim, with text reading, "I, too, am Moshe Silman."
The protests continue to emphasise the high cost of living in Israel's cities, and call for a better social safety net in an era when price levels for basic good continue to rise - and with it, a sense of desperation.
Sharon Malki, a city councilwoman in Tel Aviv, said, "Four hundred people per year commit suicide because of economic hardship, but they are not doing it next to our home.
"I was next to the protest when [the self-immolation] happened and of course it was very shocking. He could be the guy next door," Malki told Al Jazeera. "This can happen to anyone, since he wasn't a drug addict or a criminal - just took a wrong turn and hit a dead end, which made him very miserable."
"I'm not a prophet and I don't know where it will take us, but I hope that that Moshe Silman will get well soon and that someone will take responsibility and proper care of him.
"But I also hope that he will be the last person to make such an extreme move, and maybe it will be example for policymakers that public housing is not something the government can give up on."

Love your mistakes and what you learn from them
When I try to "love my mistakes" and imperfect me, I recover from them often much faster than if I dwell in them. Acceptance of my imperfections and being grateful for what I'm learning is the key for me. I've learned I need to treat myself well to keep my motivation flowing.

Writing down what I eat gives me accountability. That way I can also check what I've eaten from the food groups, the calories I've eaten and what I have left to eat. It helps me a lot to do this.

By now you've no doubt heard that David Kay, America's top WMD bloodhound, has returned from Iraq to declare that Iraq had no significant stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction immediately prior to the war.
Kay may still turn out to be mistaken; some WMDs or WMD components may have been smuggled out to Lebanon or Syria as some, including Kay, believe. We may find a container buried in the sand somewhere. But even the White House has switched from saying we "will" find WMDs in Iraq to saying "we might."
In other words, if we go by the best information available right now, it appears that George W. Bush was substantively wrong when he told the country that Saddam had stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and that Saddam was well on his way to developing a nuclear weapon.
This is a hugely important fact with grave consequences for the United States and the world. Unfortunately, very few of our political leaders seem willing or able to deal with it in a straightforward manner.
The Democrats deeply deranged by anti-Bush fever insist on making the most damning - and implausible - charge possible: that Bush willfully lied to the American people about Iraq.
As I've tried to demonstrate in this space before, the idea that the president lied to the American people hinges on - at least - one almost impossible fact: that George W. Bush knew for a certainty that the intelligence agencies of America, Britain, France, Germany, Israel, Australia, as well as the United Nations and countless independent experts were all wrong.
Virtually all of the anti-Bush conspiracy theories - most of which contradict each other - depend on the "Bush lied" thesis. But Bush's critics won't let go of this idea, disqualifying themselves from the deadly serious task of dealing with what went wrong.
"Clearly, the intelligence that we went to war on was inaccurate, wrong," David Kay told Tom Brokaw in an interview. "We need to understand why that was. I think if anyone was abused by the intelligence it was the president of the United States rather than the other way around."
For one reason or another - politics and pride no doubt chief among them - the administration refuses to lend credence to this alternative explanation of events. Just this week, while meeting with the president of Poland, George Bush responded to Kay's comments by saying he still has "great confidence" in the intelligence community.
That's awfully compassionate of him, but if what Kay says is true then Bush most emphatically should not have great confidence in the CIA and other intelligence agencies that seem to get things continually wrong.

How to Order Like an Oenophile (Tips from Sommelier Patrick Cappiello)
- Uploaded by thinkbig on Jun 12, 2014
- Views: 45
Don't miss new Big Think videos! Subscribe by clicking here: Patrick Cappiello offers advice on ordering wine. Cappiello is the Operating Partner and Wine Director at Pearl and Ash Restaurant in - I think a good sommelier is like a good detective. People often make comments or initial disclosures about the kind of wines they're looking for but I think if you're a good sommelier you really have to take the time to drill down deeper and ask a lot of questions to really get an understanding of the kind of wine that people tend to prefer or where they're willing to head. A lot of times guests will come in and they'll say, "Oh, I want to try something totally new." And, you know, really a different kind of wine. So for me that's not always easy because I don't -- I haven't drank with them before so I don't know what kind of wines they normally drink. So there's a lot of wine out there and some people have a little bit more commitment to that idea. I think people really want to be adventurous with wine but you've got to be careful because a lot of times not everybody's threshold of adventurism is the same. So asking a lot of questions is a big part of it. And not only just about the style of wine and the, you know the flavor profile of wines but I think the budget is a big part of it too. And it's always the awkward point in a discussion with a guest. I think that people get nervous about talking about their price point or their budget which is -- it shouldn't be that way. I mean, you know, I think that there's an old mentality about the way sommeliers are and this whole thing that they're gonna judge you or that they're gonna try and take your money. I mean, yeah, in some ways they're salesmen but I think a good sommelier never wants to put someone out of their comfort zone with the wine that they're gonna drink. And I think being up front about a budget is something that makes our life easier. Because if sommeliers are recommending wines, we may recommend a certain type of wine with many different, you know, price points but if you give a budget right from the beginning we can kind of go, you know, horizontally within that budget and give you a lot more great options in that sweet spot. So, there's a lot of ways to do it. I think it's always awkward because you don't know if somebody's on the first date and, you know, you don't want to embarrass somebody who's selecting the wine. So I think, you know, if you're looking at a wine list and you can kind of point at a wine that's in a particular price range that can be a good way to indicate to the sommelier what you're looking to do. I think being comfortable with the idea of a sommelier and then learning to trust them I think is important. Not every sommelier I guess is completely trustworthy but there's more and more coming along. I think the culture is changing and there's a lot of opportunity to learn from you're explaining the kind of wine that you want to have to a sommelier I think remembering the kind of wine you had is important. I mean nowadays with smart phones it's so easy like just snapping a picture of a label and keeping it on your phone. And inevitably when people are able to do that -- even if I don't have that wine on the list I know wines that are similar in style to that so I'm really able to work within that realm. But remembering a grape varietal that was in it or remembering, you know, a region it was from -- that makes it easier. But if that doesn't work then being able to describe the flavor profiles can be difficult. And I think it's a perception thing and that's the problem. Like somebody saying like, you know, I want a bottle of wine that's kind of full bodied but not too fruity. Like those type of key words, I think, help the conversation flow. So trying to remember, you know, the experiences you had with that wine and the things that you tasted or the tactile experience. Breaking it down more, you know, particularly as opposed to having it be, you know, vague. I think that's the best way. The more specific details that you can remember about a wine, the easier it's gonna be to get a great bottle. And I think as a guest you're gonna learn more about wine the more you do that. I think, you know, technology is making that easier. So relying on things like your smartphone or wine apps or, you know, other forms of social media to kind of learn about wine -- that really / Produced by Jonathan Fowler, Elizabeth Rodd, and Dillon Fitton

low growing shrubby Madagascan aloe with pale green leaves. Profusely suckers. Supposedly related to Aloe acutissima, which it somewhat resembles. Some plants in cultivation (at this time 2011) looks VERY different and are probably incorrectly identified plants (eg. the nice clumps of deep green, laterlly spreading, flattened aloe labelled as this at the Los Angeles arboretum). And there is controversy as to what the 'real thing' looks like still. Many photos of this in habitat available, but none of reliable photos in cultivation. Many plants look far different in cultivation than they do in the harsh wild, so only time will tell as to what this plant really looks like in our gardens.

Copa Del Rey Audi Mapfre 30th edition, organized by the Real Club Náutico of Palma, is being held from 1st to 6th August in Palma de Mallorca.
Preparing the boats - Copa Del Rey Audi Mapfre 2011
More boats, the best sailors in the national and international sailing scene, and more real time racing during a week of sailing. These are the three main features of the 30th Copa del Rey Audi Mapfre.
In spite of the current economical situation, the Copa del Rey Audi Mapfre has managed to reach 120 entries, just ten units under the race's own record set at 130 boats. A total of 1,200 sailors from 16 countries will take part in the 30th edition of the regatta, a very special event which many did not want to miss. As a major development, the organizing committee, chaired by Javier Sanz, has intensified its focus on real-time sailing with the addition of two one-design classes: J-80 and Melges 32.
SaR la Infanta Cristina - on board AIFOS - Copa Del Rey Audi Mapfre 2011
The IRC division will gather the fleet's largest vessels, subdivided into IRC1 and 2. Audi MedCup proceeding TP52's and mini maxis will be racing in the former. Among them, Jose Cusí's Bribón, HRH Felipe de Borbón's Hispano, Markus Wieser's Container, HRH Cristina de Borbón steered Aifos and George Sakellaris Shockwave are some of the favorites. Swans and X-41's will race in compensated time in the IRC 2 division, which includes Bouwe Bekking's Team Premier Farr 400, the sailor's debut in the class designed by Bruce Farr.
The world's top Melges 32 and J-80 sailors
2010 Melges 32 World Champions Luca Lalli and Lorenzo Bressani on B-Linsailing.com, 2007 Iberdrola's America's Cup campaign skipper Jesper Radich on Opus One, 2000 and 2007 America's Cup winner Cameron Appleton onboard American Argo, and two times Audi MedCup Circuit's winner Vasco Vascotto on Samba Pa Ti are some of the big names in the regatta's new class, the Melges 32. A total of 17 boats will build a top level fleet which will have in Marc de Antonio's Bribón Movistar and Turismo Rías Baixas-Casaldog the Spanish representatives.
The J-80 class debut will add another highlight to the regatta, a one-design boat already acquainted with the waters of the bay of Palma, for it's a regular participant in the sailing season's opening event, the Palma Vela regatta. The world's three top classified, Ignacio Camino's Nextel Engineering, Factoría Energía – Great Sailing Quum of Jose María Van der Ploeg, and Carlos Martinez's Mapfre, will be at the start line.
With 12 boats coming from five different countries; Spain, Italy, Russia, Netherlands and Great Britain, the X-35 fleet will run a classification of its own. Newcomer Javier Banderas Iberostar and Javier Sanz's Red Eléctrica Española will try to bring the honors back to Spain.
Finally, those units with a rating over 1,080 will race in RI1. Four times round the world sailor and Camper Emirates Team New Zealand's VOR campaign driver Roberto Bermúdez de Castro will helm Sercotel Hotels. Among RI2 VOR Telefonica's boat owner Pedro Campos' Tanit IV and Power Plate of Gustavo Martínez Doreste stand out as favorites.
A week of racing
All classes will jump on the stage tomorrow Monday except for the Melges 32 which will do so on Tuesday. Following last year's pattern, the fleet will race in three race areas. All compensated time classes will have their coastal race on Wednesday. A total of 12 races and a maximum of three per day shall be held, and a discard will apply from the eighth race onwards.
As in past years, the prize giving ceremony will take place on Saturday evening at Ses Voltes gardens, next to Palma Cathedral.

For U.S. conservatives, it's time for lawmakers to stop beating around the bush and finally put a halt to the epidemic of mass shootings — by mandating the Bible in public school. Via the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
… Read the rest
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a 2008 Republican presidential candidate who is now a pundit and host on Fox News did not mention guns, gun culture, or assault rifles in talking about the country's latest mass killing, but said, "We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools. Should we be surprised that schools would become places of carnage?"
Huckabee seemed to see church-state separation as responsible for the horrors Friday at an elementary school, where 20 pupils died: "We've made it (school) a place where we don't talk about eternity, life — that one day we stand before, you know holy God in judgment," said Huckabee.

Why Bagged Lettuce May Be a Bummer
Food News
Bagged lettuce is a lot of things. It's convenient, it's usually affordable, and it can make a quick lunch or dinner side salad in a cinch. But recent health scares and extensive media coverage have people chatting about the other not-so-great side of bagged lettuce.
When a Peach Is Not Just a Peach
Donut peaches from the Albany Farmers' Market in Albany, CA.Back in the day, when my mom and I went to the grocery store we would buy strawberries and peaches and apricots. It never occurred to us that strawberries and peaches and apricots came in all sorts of different shapes, sizes and flavor profiles, and that each of these varieties had its own name. We weren't aware that we could be purchasing a Sun Crest Peach or that the Albion strawberries were in season but the Chandlers were coming soon.
But things are a little different these days, at least where I shop.
The Perfect Peach by Marcy, Nikiko and David Mas Masumoto
New Cookbook
While I'm a big fan of the many books written by David Mas Masumoto about life on his farm (Epitaph for a Peach, Four Seasons in Five Senses), as well as the peaches and nectarines that are grown on the Masumoto Family Farm near Fresno, CA, I wasn't sure about his latest release: a cookbook he co-authored with his wife and daughter. An entire cookbook devoted just to peaches? Are there really enough peach recipes to make up a whole cookbook? Of course there are!
What Happens When Monsanto Buys the Patent to Your Favorite Tomato
July is just around the corner and for me that means just one thing: it's the time when the local tomato production starts to get serious and the farmers' markets starting running red (and yellow, and pink, and chocolate, and green stripe). Sure, there's the occasional basket of cherry tomatoes the last few weeks of June and I guess they're pretty good. But when the dry-farmed Early Girls start showing up, that's when then I know all is right in the world. Except, apparently, when it's not.
Nutrients in Fruits and Vegetables: Why Choosing Specific Varieties Matters
Food News
Eating more fruits and vegetables is good for our health, right? We've all heard that for years, and it is true. But according to Jo Robinson, author of the forthcoming book Eating on the Wild Side: The Missing Link to Optimum Health, what really matters is choosing the right varieties of those fruits and vegetables.
Toy Cows and Goats: A Playful Yet Informative Cheese Tray Decoration
Why is this toy cow hanging out on a cheese tray? Is it a kid's idea of a playful trick or a clever way to convey a little information about the cheese? Perhaps it is both!
How Do You Know What Food Labels Mean and Whether They're Trustworthy?
It may come as a surprise to some, but buying foods labeled cage-free or grass-fed does not necessarily mean that those items are what they say they are, or what we assume they mean. This can be really frustrating if you are trying to do your best to purchase humane and sustainable food, not to mention that foods labeled with these claims are often more expensive. Do you pay extra for organic, or non-GMO, or hormone-free foods? Do you know which labels are reliable? Read on for more information and sources for identifying which labels you can trust.
Enjoying a Farm to Table Dinner (And Other Food Occasions) with Our Kids
A farm to table dinner, when the chef works closely with the farmer to plan the menu, is the most fun way possible to explore local offerings, eat what's truly in season and get to know a few new local people who love food like you do. Normally, I think this treat — not an inexpensive one — should be reserved for appreciative adults. But recently, we had the chance to enjoy such a dinner with our teenaged son — it was a pleasure and I may have changed my tune.
Are You Joining a Farm CSA This Year?
It's that time of year: last call for the CSA programs in your area! Have you ever done a CSA? Community Supported Agriculture lets you pay a membership fee to a farm, and then receive a box of seasonal produce throughout the growing season. It's a great way to participate in the life of a farm, and to get spectacularly good produce. Are you doing one this year?
Taming the Wild Thyme: A Visit to a Za'atar Farm in Lebanon
Grower Tour
At the end of a bumpy, red dirt driveway in a small town in southern Lebanon, you'll find the home of farmer Abu Kassem and his family. For about 13 years, they have been growing za'atar, the once-wild herb that plays a starring role in the increasingly popular spice blend of the same name. The path from field to flatbread is simple on this organic farm, but one fueled by dedication and hard work. Take a peek at how they do it — and you may never look at that bottle of supermarket za'atar in the same way again.

OK, maybe it was a mistake allowing my LBS cut and bleed the brakes on my new build.
I went down there twice and both times when I compress the lever, fluid comes out the lines. I have some compression fittings that came with the brakes but they said they didn't need them. I'm bringing the fittings to them on Monday and they are giving it another go. I'm really hoping that this was the problem.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Casa de Luz - San Diego
by ErikMn
Review: Definitely not "new school" as one reviewer said, but damn was it good. I had a black eyed pea, sweet potato, and squash combo, with quinoa, corn, beet, kale and some awesome sauce. The squash had a little plantain as well. It was the perfect compliment, and the rosemary was just right imo. I'll certainly be back. I actually like the evolving menu idea. They break the mold of the same stagnant menu choices, and force you to give what they have a go. I like the surprise element. I'm wondering if there is less food wasted this way as well.

Every Which Way But Loose: Call it a personal preference, but we like it when adorably petite Oscar winners have a waistline. And boobs (unless we're talking about the pocketsize Dustin Hoffman, then not so much). Too bad the lovely Reese Witherspoon has neither in a blueberry-colored embroidered muumuu so cavernous that we're concerned that a pack of Oompa Loompas are about to roll her away and hook her up to the juicing station next to Violet Beauregarde.

The Reserve Bank of India kept interest rates unchanged in its bi-monthly review on Tuesday, waiting to assess inflationary pressures and giving banks time to reflect on the central bank's previous cuts in lending rates.
India Insight
Sensex performers in 2013: TCS surges 73 percent, Sun Pharma gains 54 percent
By Aditya Karla and Sankalp Phartiyal
The BSE Sensex ended 2013 with gains of 9 percent after hitting life highs during the year. The benchmark index touched an all-time high of 21,483.74 on Dec. 9 after falling to a 2013 low of 17,448.71 in August.
Markets this week: Sensex gains 3 percent, Tata Motors surges 10 percent
The BSE Sensex rose 3 percent during the week, ending in the green for four of the five trading sessions. Improved guidance from Infosys, hopes of a U.S. deal to avoid a default on its debt and the RBI's decision to cut a key overnight interest rate helped sentiment.
Markets this week: Sensex gains 2.7 percent, Maruti surges 11 percent
By Ankush Arora and Sankalp Phartiyal
The BSE Sensex rose 2.7 percent in the week ending September 20, as foreign inflows and the U.S. Federal Reserve's surprise decision to continue with its bond-buying programme boosted market sentiment.
Markets this week: Sensex gains 2.4 percent; L&T, Tata Power surge
September is turning out to be a good month for Indian shares, as key stock indexes extended gains in the last four sessions. Monday was a market holiday.
Outlook weak for India economic growth: analysts
India's economy grew at 4.4 percent in the June quarter, its slowest rate since the first three months of 2009 and weaker than analysts' consensus of 4.7 percent in a Reuters poll.
Pricey dollar puts South Africa, Australia on Indian tourists' maps
When Aparupa Ganguly visited South Africa in 2007, the country's topography and wildlife made such an impression on the communications professional that she couldn't wait to come back. Ganguly got her wish six years later – thanks to a stable rand.
Bharti Airtel, NTPC top Sensex losers this week
By Sankalp Phartiyal and Ankush Arora
The BSE Sensex recovered on Thursday and Friday after the index lost around 700 points in the first three trading sessions of the week. However, the index still ended down 0.4 percent as a weak rupee, concerns over foreign flows and uncertainty over the end of the U.S. Fed's stimulus plan kept investors on the edge.
India's TV import duty taxes travellers… and grey markets
India on Monday imposed a 36 percent duty on flat-screen televisions that travellers bring back from other countries, seen as another step to support a falling rupee. The move, however, will do little to help the economy but will cheer television manufacturers in India and hit grey markets, experts said.
Markets this week: BHEL is top Sensex loser
By Ankush Arora and Sankalp Phartiyal
The BSE Sensex had been headed for a week of gains until upbeat U.S. jobs data triggered fears of a soon-to-start tapering of the Fed's monetary stimulus, pulling the benchmark down by a percent for the week ending Aug. 16. The broader Nifty slumped 4 percent on Friday, marking its biggest daily drop in almost two years.

Hi,I''m trying to locate the company My Sister's Patterns. The website doesn't work anymore and I can't get anyone to answer the phone either. I am desperately searching for their All Season Hat pattern. Does anyone know how to contact the company or where else I could purchase this pattern?TIA,Terri
Sorry Terri. I did a search hoping to find another company who sold the pattern, but all I could find were links to the company that did not work anymore. Perhaps they are now defunct?The onlything I did find was this page that has an e-mail on it. Perhaps you can try this?
------Like Miss Frizzle says "Take chances, make mistakes ..." isn't that what fitting is all about? I am happily taking chances and making mistakes as I fit muslin after muslin ...
If you send a snail mail it should get forwarded, or the business addy might be the owner's home. Even if they're out of business they might tell you where they sold their leftover stock.
------Buy the best and you only cry once.
I found this page which gives a name and phone number, maybe you can contact them this way: My Sister's PatternsSusan
I have an update! Thanks to geek husband who showed me how to access archived websites, I got hold of another phone number and email that works. Hooray! The owner, Joyce, had technical difficulties, but the website should be back up soon. In the meantime, you can order by phone at 937-447-9263 and you can reach her by email at [email protected] NAYY, but I did get my hat pattern ordered! Terri

Vienna Woods and Mayerling Half Day Trip
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Vienna Woods and Mayerling Half Day Trip. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
The most interesting part in this trip was the Seegrotte. The other part fory myself was not very interesting.
The organisation and our Guide was excellent.
Delightful. Visited nice places. Interesting too.
filip h
Excellent half-day trip. A 'half-hour "coffee pause' would be appreciated. We liked much also your efficiency and efforts to make clients comfortable. Good hotel pick-up. Best wishes for 2012!
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and I highly recommend this trip. Absolutely nothing went wrong. We were actually picked up on time and my family really enjoyed this trip.
Very good, the guide was excellent.
Eduard K
Great tour, I like it.
Kathrin B
Strongly recommend! There is no doubt that there are more than enough things to do in Vienna in the city. However, if you want to escape the city for a day (most of a day!) this is a great way to do it. Basically the trip has 3 parts - the monastery, a church, and the underground lake. I'm not religious, and was in awe at the monastery - the stained glass windows left me speechless. The underground lake is an amazing sight. Be warned it is naturally a constant temperature of 9 degree celsius, which was actually a nice way to escape the summer heat! After a guided tour through the abandoned mine, you have a boat ride which was incredibly peaceful. This is where part of the 3 Musketeers movie (with Kiefer Sutherland) was filmed.
Great trip through the Vienna woods, wonderful tour guide, interesting tour of the underground lake. Do not miss this!
Vienna, Austria has always been one of our most favorite European cities and this tour proved that there are so many interesting and beautiful sights outside of the city as well.
fun trip here!! did not expect it to be this fun!! good tour guide, very knowlegable. the monastery visited was very interesting! and the subterranean river ride was a surprise!
Elizabeth T E
You've got to see it for yourself.......
Excellent half day trip to the Vienna woods and Mayerling, great tour guide. The boat trip was just perfect!
Kathleen M
United Kingdom
A wonderful experience - we were collected from our hotel punctually and driven the short distance to the coach terminus for the start of the tour. Vienna Woods was just beautiful in the snow. Mayerling was interesting, as was the monastery. We had a brief glimpse of Liechtenstein castle before proceeding to the underground caves and boat journey on the lake. A really enjoyable half day excursion.
We loved this tour! They picked us up at the hotel and we were off. It was a beautiful day too! Beautiful scenery, gothic church and a suprise I didn't expect. We went into an old mine with canals. Hitler took it over to build planes. chilling and creepy. Some unexpected history There were even bits and pieces of the planes left.

This is a great use of a half day in Vienna. In a fairly short time, you get a feeling for the local landscape and towns. It's true that there's not enough time to really see the two monasteries, but there's plenty of time for the really unusual part of the trip -- the underground lake. In addition to the lake itself, there is an extensive tour of the mine, which was used by the Germans during World War II to construct aircraft, a bit of important history you don't normally see. I must also compliment the guide, who skillfully juggled 4 languages during the tour.
This is a very nice trip. If you do not like closed places, do not take. The ride on the lake is fantastic. Nothing to be scared of. Thanks Viator for this opportunity.

This trip was very well planned, well guided and simply couldn't have been done on our own. There were many aspects to it and all were interesting and unique. This Vienna Woods and Mayerling trip was excellent.

This was truly outstanding. We will remember it all our lives. It would have been nice to have a coffee and bathroom break after the first hour by the time we got to the monastery, we were in great need of these services! Still, this is an experience not to be missed.

Lightning strikes once on this lightweight knit sweater printed with, what else, a big lightning bolt. Shades of The Boy Who Lived, perhaps? The stripes on the rounded neckline and cuffs give this piece an athletic spin. The gray version is perfect for teaming with warm-colored separates. The white version features a fluorescent yellow lightning design, making it pop against an all-black outfit.

I live in a pretty hot area so I like having less heavy sweaters. This one is just warm enough to keep you cozy and seems to be pretty well made. I like how it fits because it's comfortable without looking too baggy. I would definitely recommend this sweater. ^^
I'm 6 foot 1 so it's difficult for me to buy sweaters that are long enough (don't get me started on trousers). I took a dive in the deep buying this sweater and i don't regret it at all! I match it with a knee-length pencil skirt I also bought from Yesstyle and it's a match made in heaven. The fabric of the sweater is the best the only downside is that it seems to be very fragile so be careful when washing it.

Colours vary between green, pink and blue:
great massager, works just right. would have loved to be able to pick the color i wanted.
Great little massager. Only issue I had is with ordering...couldn't pick which color. So its a surprise when you get it. Glad I didn't receive the pink one.
Didn't expect much out of this. It actually works quite well for a quick massage on the wife. My toddler likes to play with it too.
Works pretty well when I can get it to hit just the right spot (not always easy in the shoulders), though I've noticed a "battery"/electronic smell after it's been running for a while.
This item was bought as a stocking stuffer. It is cute and effective enough, it did not come in a box as mentionned in the description above. Also, there is a little tape on the switch to prevent using up the batteries before it is sold and that was unstuck and the massager started up as I was unpacking the items I ordered.
