1. Human well-being depends on ecosystems: Disaster resilient communities, especially in rural areas, are based on healthy ecosystems and diverse livelihoods. Healthy ecosystems are central to hazard mitigation by providing, for example, flood regulation and coastal protection and protecting steep slopes. They also increase the resilience of vulnerable people to withstand, cope with and recover from disasters resulting from hazard events such as droughts, hurricanes, earthquakes and others. This is because they provide many livelihood benefits, such as food, firewood, clean water, fibres, and medicine, resources communities require for resilience in the face of disasters and climate change. A degraded ecosystem is unable to provide these mitigation and resource benefits and therefore significantly increases human vulnerability.
2. Ecosystems such as wetlands, forests, and coastal systems can provide cost-effective natural buffers against natural events and the impacts of climate change. According to the World Bank (2004), investments in preventive measures, including in maintaining healthy ecosystems, is seven-fold more cost effective than dealing with the a disaster's aftermath without any prevention efforts.
3. Healthy and diverse ecosystems are more resilient to extreme weather events. Intact ecosystems are less likely to be affected by, and more likely to recover from, the impacts of extreme events. However, disasters can affect ecosystems through habitat loss and species mortality and invasive species spread. Poorly designed post-disaster clean-up efforts can also negatively impact ecosystems and hinder progress toward achieving the objectives of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and Millennium Development Goals.
4. Ecosystem degradation, especially when related to forests and peatlands, reduces the ability of natural ecosystems to sequester carbon, increasing the incidence and impact of climate change and climate related disasters.
5. Furthermore, human conflicts can cause devastation to communities similar to the effects of natural hazards and are often caused by competition over scarce natural resources. These conflicts cause further environmental degradation. Environmental management is therefore essential to both decrease risk of conflict and allow post-conflict recovery.

Go Cyclones!
I believe it is gut-check time for this team. Time for Bill to have a come-to-jesus meeting in the locker. A three game losing skid can create some bad atmosphere. Time to turn it around. WVU is a hard fighting scrappy team. They play well at home, but don't have much of a fan base to encourage them. They're probably still snorting over the OT loss they just had there with TT. They were cheated out of a late game three there IMO. The refs reviewed but couldn't really confirm from the live stream video. Which btw is a very good quality and so far has been free all year.
After sitting through the ISU-TT game in Lubbock I left shaking my head. Don't really know how to put it in words, but I really felt TT should have won that game, but was glad that ISU came out on top in the score column. I was not surprised at all that they lost at OSU, for that has always been a rough place to play. Yet OSU goes on the road and shows nothing. OSU is a strange team to figure right now. What really shocked me was how pitiful ISU played there. I watched every minute of it on a FOX replay and couldn't believe it.
The girls played Baylor very strong and think they have no reason to be ashamed of that game. They would not have lost at OSU had they played like that. Nor will they lose at WVU if they play with the same intensity. The remaining 11 games are crucial and favorable I say for the Clones. Anything less than 8-3 will be a big disappoint to me. Actually 9-2 would be more like it. DO IT GIRLS !!!
Info from Carey and player interviews on ISU:
"Moody one of the best PG in the country," we are going to have to pick our poison, let her drive and dish, or drive to lane(fouling on penetration has been a problem for them).
Also very concerned about Anna & Pop.
One key strategy will to be trying to keep the ball out of Moody's hands, and make others handle the ball. Guess they have done their scout well.
Here is the link to their video channel: West Virginia University Mountaineers - WVUsports.com
Appears this game is on ESPN3
This team so far has struggled to shoot the ball and continues to throw some lazy passes in my view. Clean those up and I think we'll be fine. Go Cyclones!
If ISU is smart about it they could get some cheap fouls in the backcourt when WVU is trying to deny Moody the ball. They can take plenty of time doing it without the 10 second backcourt call.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
No 10 second call in WBB.
This game is a big concern for the way we have been playing. We need to get good games from more players and a better team effort. We don't have the bench so that some players can come to game night asleep, like the men's team has. Everyone has to come and give their best effort.
"Cómo te va", dijo el murguista a la muchacha. Que lo cortó con su mirada indiferente
Le dijo "Bien" y lo dejó como si nada

Going to be a long night.

Maybe not, nice little scoring run to get back into it here.
Suddenly, we have a game ! The crowd is what amazes me. I swear there wasn't 500 there when the played TT. Looks like theres 4.000 or more there today. I guess it's the Saturday effect
Was Prins just called for a foul for being tall?

Major rebound for industrial real estate may challenge logistics managers
January 21, 2014 - LM Editorial
Prime space for warehousing and distribution center development may soon become scarcer, say analysts for the commercial real estate service firm, Cushman & Wakefield.
In its strongest performance since 2005, the U.S. industrial real estate market saw 328.5 million square feet in leasing activity and 117.2 million square feet of positive absorption in 2013.
Industrial leasing activity was up 6.2 percent year over year, and analysts say this reflects a more robust future for the nation's leading container seaports.
"The Port of Houston is growing by leaps and bounds," observes B. Kelley Parker, III, SIOR, Executive Vice President, Cushman & Wakefield of Texas, Inc. "Petrochemical exports are continuing to ramp up and inbound calls serving the mega-retailers are higher than ever."
Robert L. Phillips, Jr., SIOR, First Vice President and William C. Throne, CCIM, SIOR, ALC, First Vice President Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer say that the Virginia Port Authority is poised for similar growth.
"The Richmond / Greensboro inland triangle develops industrial base and foreign trade zones," says Phillips. "New port tax incentives and grants will also drive more business at the Port of Virginia."
Throne said the biggest challenge for the VPA is not having "big boxes" (distribution centers).
"However, we do have a good supply of entitled and ready-to-go sites for DC development," he adds.

|H-R Diagram Education Materials
Our own Donna Young has created an educational activity about variable stars on the HR Diagram. The activity is designed for formal K-16 educators and includes a teacher's guide, background material, student activities and answer keys.
However, the activity is also a great learning tool for those new to variable stars. It will introduce many of the most important types of variable stars and describe how they are related to other types. The genius of HR Diagrams is how they place everything in context of the grand scheme of things.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- The Boldings traveled 19 hours and spent $4,900 for tickets to the Super Bowl.
One of them is a diehard fan, and it's not who you think.
"I made sure I had a shirt for everyday I'm down here before I left," says Marion Bolding.
She, with her four Ravens shirts and matching earrings, is the the target for one of the NFL's biggest marketing campaigns.
It's women who made the last three Super Bowls their most watched shows, more than the Grammy's and the Academy Awards.
"I think it's always been a man's sport, but it's evolved to where women are really into the NFL," says football fan Amy Swizter.
And, it's not just going after women's clothing marketers.
Retailers say Super Bowl commercials will be tailored toward the head of the household.
Women willingly admit they make 85 percent of all household purchases.
A record 51 million women watched last year's Super Bowl, reason enough to see the vests, coats and T-shirts flying off of shelves.
Bolding says, "The target market was always the men so it's great we get to buy our own things."
The NFL hopes if you get a woman the right gear early on, you might have a shopper for life.

What in the ****?
That story is creepy and disgusting.
I trying to figure out how the hell this could be false? No one has picked up on this yet?
The ****?
Eyes closed, head first, can't lose.
I wish he would have won the Heisman. That would be epic.
I just don't see how, in this day in age, someone could ever pull this off, especially for as long as it went on.
Wow. He had probably the best interview I've ever heard on Rome.

If it's true I think it tells you something about the state of journalism in this day in age.
None of the media outlets that covered this could figure this thing out? If so, we as the media consuming public got what we deserved and we probably need to demand better.
Love the comment below also, "Finally, a reason to hate Notre Dame."
Just read this. WTF? It seems like DS did a lot of investigating.
This is very important:
2014-15 KenPom AdjO (rating)
116.3 (11)
2015-16 KenPom AdjO (rating
120.7 (3)
I guess it shows how much I intentionally tune out Notre Dame, but I didn't know a damn thing about Te'o having a dead girlfriend until I read this.
This is the most bizarre, ****ed up thing I've seen in awhile.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.

MVP confirms departure
MVP leaves TNA
Even though he has long known as someone that likes to surprise the internet wrestling community, there is a widespread belief that MVP has left TNA after the former United States Heavyweight Champion posted a couple of messages on social media. There is a chance that he could be taking some time away from the promotion before making a comeback later on in the year.
July 18, 2015
MVP explains himself
When the news broke that ROH was picked up by Destination America, MVP was one of the first ones to respond via social media. He appeared to be rather upset about the situation and even posted information on how to book him, leaving fans to wonder if he was going to be walking away from TNA. The former United States Heavyweight Champion stated that he might have jumped to conclusion and reacted a little too quickly.

Rosemary's woody scent and minty flavor bring a balsamic deliciousness to sweet and savory dishes alike.
Botanical name: Rosmarinus officinalis L.
This versatile herb also known as the compass plant, is an aromatic (slightly camphor-like), woody, evergreen shrub with tiny, needle-like leaves that are bright green on top and lighter green (and soft to the touch) underneath. It's a member of the mint (Lamiaceae) family, and it produces small, pale purple/blue flowers. The color of the flowers and its affinity for the seashore earned the plant its botanical name Rosmarinus (dew of the sea) officinalis. The Spanish, who believe the plant provided shelter to the Virgin Mary on her travels, call it "Romero" or "Pilgrim's flower."
Studies at Rutgers University and the University of Illinois in Urbana indicate that rosemary oil (consumed or placed on the skin) reduces by half the risk of cancer in laboratory animals. Other studies at Rutgers also found that rosemary is an effective food preservative. Refreshing and pungent, rosemary adds delicious interest to vinegars, salad dressings, and breads. You'll find it in bouquet garni and herbes de Provence blends, as well as many Mediterranean recipes for poultry, meat, and vegetable dishes.
Associated since ancient times with remembrance, fidelity, and love, rosemary is still worn by some brides in Europe. In 17th and 18th century Europe it was a funeral flower, symbolizing the memories of loved ones; a sprig of rosemary was often carried during funeral ceremonies, then placed with the deceased upon burial. "Grow it for two ends, it matters not at all/ Be't for my bridal or my burial. . ." wrote the poet Robert Herrick in his 17th century poem "The Garden."
Not purely for the wistful, rosemary has also been used for practical purposes. The Greeks called it "antos", or the flower of excellence, and their students wore garlands of it in order to strengthen their memories. It was believed that placing sprigs under the pillow would ward off evil spirits and nightmares, and that the aroma could slow the aging process. In some ancient references, it's called "incensier," because it was used in place of incense in religious ceremonies. During the Middle Ages, rosemary was burned as a disinfectant-- and to scare away evil spirits. French hospitals have used it, in combination with juniper, as an air purifier. Legend has it that the woman of the house rules if rosemary is thriving there.
Suggested Uses:
Try rosemary in soups, stews and sauces, with apples and other fruits. Enjoy its balsamic tone in herb vinegars and salad dressings as well as breads (rosemary and olive oil focaccia, for example). It makes a refreshing tea and interesting addition to lemonade. You'll find rosemary in recipes for marinades, baked fish, rice, eggs, and dumplings. You'll also find it in liqueurs like benedictine, summer wines and fruit cordials and in the blends bouquet garni and herbes de Provence. Unlike many seasonings, rosemary doesn't loose any of its potent flavor or aroma during cooking.

Small fields of rosemary dot the landscape within Spain's Sierra Mariola National Park, a beloved natural landmark just off the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The rosemary fields, protected from chemical drift and synthetic fertilizers, sit among the park's pine forests and patches of yew, teak, maple, ashe, and oak. Farmers use sustainable farming practices on the land within the park to peacefully coexist with the natural plants and wildlife. Techniques such as terracing to avoid soil erosion and using the trees as natural windbreaks allows for the non-intrusive coexistence of agricultural commerce and natural, protected beauty. This is where Frontier's organic rosemary grows. It's an arid land that forces the plants it sustains to use the sparse water efficiently -- creating rosemary high in essential oil and full of flavor.

Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index is up 2.7 percent in March
April 13, 2011
Following a cumulative 1.8 percent decline in January and February, the March edition of the Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index (PCI) was up 2.7 percent in March.
This increase marks the third time the PCI has been up in the last eight months and the 16th consecutive month it has been up on an annual basis.
The PCI, according to Ceridian and UCLA, is based on an analysis of real-time diesel fuel consumption data from over-the-road trucking and is tracked by Ceridian, a provider of electronic and stored value card payment services. The PCI data is accumulated by analyzing Ceridian's electronic card payment data that captures the location and volume of diesel fuel being purchased by trucking companies. It is based on real-time diesel fuel purchases using a Ceridian card by over the road truckers at more than 7,000 locations across the United States.
The PCI also closely tracks the Federal Reserve's Industrial Production data as well as GDP growth. In February, it was correct in predicting Industrial Production would be flat to even at .02 percent. And for March it expects a 0.8 percent gain in industrial production.
"The PCI growth of 3.9% for the first quarter of 2011 is a middle-of the-road number, signaling that we are not in either one of the extremes," said Ed Leamer, chief PCI economist and director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast, in a statement. "In other words, the recession is over, but we are not yet experiencing a robust recovery. This means that for the coming quarter, the PCI is expecting GDP growth close to historically normal levels of around 3% and normal increases in payroll jobs at approximately 150,000 per month. The unemployment rate is likely to hold stubbornly to its current level but could be driven down by discouraged workers dropping out of the labor force."
The report is pegging first quarter GDP growth at 3 percent, putting it on the low range of expectations, according to Leamer.
While March's performance essentially nullified the losses incurred during January and February, gas prices continue to steadily increase.
"These numbers reflect solid and continued economic growth in the U.S.," said Todd Dooley, Ceridian senior vice president of finance. "This has been occurring for a year now and bodes generally well. But we are still not seeing the employment gains required—in certain sectors like housing and construction—to put people back to work."
With the economy growing at a 3 percent GDP clip, which Dooley described as normal, he said this number matches up well with what is being forecasted for industrial production, too.
But with fuel prices steadily rising, consumers in the short-term will likely have less disposable income and buy fewer consumer-related merchandise items like clothing and groceries, which Dooley said is likely to shift consumer-buying patterns.
"This will take a while to factor into manufacturing cycles and how companies respond," said Dooley. "The concern is if it is a long-term secular trend and consumer spending patterns really do tighten up, there will then be overcapacity for businesses which could put pressure on inventory levels and overall growth."

Jacksonville, FL (Sports Network) - Shonn Greene and Bilal Powell each had
rushing scores and the New York Jets held on for a 17-10 victory over the
Jacksonville Jaguars to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
Greene rushed for 77 yards on 20 carries while Powell amassed 78 yards on 19
rushes for New York (6-7), which was coming off a 7-6 win over Arizona and has
strung together consecutive victories for the first time all season.
A week after being pulled against the Cardinals, Mark Sanchez was asked to
manage the game and did so somewhat effectively. He fumbled in the first half
and connected on 12-of-19 throws overall for just 111 yards, but completed a
37-yard strike late in the contest to force Jacksonville to use all three of
its timeouts.
Chad Henne led the Jaguars (2-11) into Jets territory on their final
possession, but was intercepted by Ellis Lankster to seal the win for New

Out Of The Furnace (2013)
Out Of The Furnace SynopsisFrom Scott Cooper, the critically-acclaimed writer and director of Crazy Heart, comes a gripping and gritty drama about family, fate, circumstance, and justice. Russell Baze (Christian Bale) has a rough life: he works a dead-end blue collar job at the local steel mill by day, and cares for his terminally ill father by night. When Russells brother Rodney (Casey Affleck) returns home from serving time in Iraq, he gets lured into one of the most ruthless crime rings in the Northeast and mysteriously disappears. The police fail to crack the case, so - with nothing left to lose - Russell takes matters into his own hands, putting his life on the line to seek justice for his brother. The impressive cast of Christian Bale and Casey Affleck are rounded out by Woody Harrelson, Forest Whitaker, Zoe Saldana, Sam Shepard and Willem Dafoe.

From Vancouver Island to the Sunshine Coast, Squamish and Whistler, the event treated riders to epic trails and hard racing.--Photos by Margus Riga and Dave Silver
After seven stages, four ferry transfers, seven bus rides, 200 miles of riding, and 30,600 feet of climbing, the B.C. Bike Race concluded in Whistler. Neil Kindree began the stage with a 3:45 minute lead over Chris Sheppard, but that was nearly eroded when a torn sidewall sidelined Kindree on the Lost Lake trails. Sheppard took the stage, and nearly the race, but a hard-charging Kindree finally crossed the line in third, preserving his victory by a slim 15-second margin.

Along with topical application of products such as shampoo, conditioners, and treatments, you can enhance the condition of your hair with Phyto Supplements. These unique dietary supplements contain powerful combinations of vitamins and essential fatty acids. Modern diets consist of high levels of processed food, often eaten on the run. Fast food and restricted diets contribute to lackluster hair and skin. Even the healthiest diet may lack vital nutrients necessary to develop healthy hair, nails, and skin. Taken in addition to a balanced diet, Phyto Supplements provide nutrients that may be missing from an average eating plan.
Each of the nutrients delivered by Phyto Supplements comes from a botanical source, in keeping with Phyto's three ecological commitments: respect for the plant world, respect for hair, and respect for the environment. Science has identified the key plant complexes that boost the condition of skin, hair, and nails. The plants from which these complexes are drawn are cultivated in an environmentally-friendly and sustainable manner. Phyto Supplements deliver natural goodness and nourishment that works with the body's own natural processes to enhance the beauty of hair and nails.
Aging or illness can lead to thinning, limp, or lackluster hair. Nails may become brittle and weak, leading to splitting and breakage. Skin can lose its glow and become dull, dry, and lifeless. Phyto Supplements help to fortify, strengthen, and replenish hair, nails, and skin from within. Carefully balanced combinations of vitamins and fatty acids are packed into each small caplet. These supplements have been scientifically developed to complement a healthy, balanced diet. Active botanical ingredients drawn from renewable resources deliver powerful health and beauty benefits. Working from the inside out, these nutrient-rich tablets work in harmony with the body to improve the condition of skin, nails, lashes, and hair. When you take these effective supplements, you will see measurable results that are guaranteed to last.
If you are concerned that your diet may lack essential nutrients vital to the development of healthy hair and skin, take Phyto Phytophanere Dietary Supplement for Hair Nails and Skin daily. These effective supplements contain wheat germ oil, borage oil, and carrot oil. This combination of fatty acids provides antioxidant protection, increases the luminosity of hair and nails, and enhances the suppleness of skin. Vitamins B2, B5, B6, B8, C, and E combat thinning hair and strengthen the hair shaft. This regimen is exceptionally easy to follow. Simply take two caplets every morning, and you will begin to see visible enhancement in the condition of your nails, hair, and skin. For optimal results, this course of tablets should be taken for at least 4 months.

Remember Svetlana Kuznetsova? Yup, the only other lady baller left in the draw besides Serena Williams to have won a Grand Slam in their career. She's actually still alive in the draw at the Aussie Open although you wouldn't know it.
The Russian headcase needed five match points and a double-fault by Alona Bondarenko on the sixth one to defeat the Ukranian 7-6 (9), 6-4. Sveta hit a miserable 68 errors against 37 winners and converted only 4 of 15 break chance opportunities - UGH.
She'll next face former Wimbledon semifinalist Jie Zheng for a spot in the quarterfinals - good luck with that one.
I haven't written much about Sveta as of late because, frankly, there hasn't been anything worth mentioning about her sketchy game. But I did notice the tail-end of a sneaky tattoo living underneath her Fila gear.
What could it be?
UPDATED: Thanks to the Fila team who confirmed the tattoo is, in fact, a tiger!

Hmmmm it looks like a rattlesnake tail?ReplyDelete
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I'd rather not know.
Rich: Speaking of Fila, did you see or hear James Blake and his interview last night? He told why he switched to Fila and his participation in his clothes in the future. Here's a link, just in case you didn't.ReplyDelete
Oh, and Kuzzy's tattoo is a tiger.ReplyDelete

It looked like a scar for a second. At least she doesn't have a tramp stamp. Or does she? hmmReplyDelete

I never really knew that James was into fashion or that he walked around malls. I guess he got tired of wearing the same thing as everyone else at the tournaments. I know I did; it sucks when you don't know who's whom?ReplyDelete
I saw the match. It was horrible. Truely horrible. Even worse than the stats would suggest!ReplyDelete
Anyway, I think it's a spider or sth.
btw. watching the match it seemed that she had some kind of tattoo on her back as well. Maybe you find a picture somewhere...
tramps stamp - HA!ReplyDelete
The match was horrendous and Sveta was horrendous-er. I can't see how she's even in the top 10 right now honestly. There's no game in her game.
Thanks Pamela for the link to the James interview about Fila. Interesting insight and I still think it's a great move for him to have a post-tennis business opportunity b/c his post-tennis life is coming with a quickness (though he's playing well right now.)
I know I'd be pissed to be wearing the same thing my opponent across the net was wearing. What would all the kids at school think?
It looks like a boomerang to me ;)ReplyDelete
Looks like a tiger...
Funny thing is I believe you, Rich, when you try to describe how badly she played...although I didn't watch (don't watch tennis nowadays. in nearly solitary confinement. be back in the media-rich world soon.) Svetlana knows how to play so badly sometimes, you wonder.ReplyDelete
BUT I ROOT FOR HER because she's so strong, great solid, rooted technique. I think it's something about the core - she digs in and in so stable when performing her strokes. I ROOT FOR HER because she knows how to place a ball. Oh yeah, and she's a happy friendly chica. I'd like to see her use the technique to move up to top-three again. I wish she would care enough to...

The Psychedelic Furs are an English post-punk/new wave band that formed in 1977 when lead singer Richard Butler and his guitarist brother, Tim Butler decided to form a band. The Furs' initial sound began as austere art rock which morphed into new wave, and then hard rock. The band was catapulted into the limelight when their song "Pretty In Pink" was featured in the 1986 John Hughes film of the same name. The Furs maintained steady popularity through the 80s until 1991, when the Butler brothers formed the new band, Love Spit Love. Ten years later the band resurfaced in 2000 and began recording and touring again. When The Furs first came together in England the punk scene was vibrant, how... Continue Bio >>

They were found to have done everything from raping nursing home residents to stealing their diamond rings to spitting in their face.
In all, the state has disciplined nearly 1,800 nursing aides who work in long-term care facilities, compiling a list on their Web site so that other facilities don't hire them in the future.
The Department of Health also made these names available to worried family members - if family called the department with a name.
Now, Channel 3 News is doing the hard work for you.
We've compiled a list of state-tested nurse's aides who have been disciplined for abuse, neglect and theft. (There's also a searchable database at the end of this story where you can enter a last name of an aide and see if the person should be working in a facility.)
The problem of abusive nurse's aides received a lot of attention in June when the Investigator Tom Meyer first exposed 78-year-old Esther Piskor being mistreated at the MetroHealth Medical Center's nursing home.
A number of state-tested nurses aides were caught on hidden camera shoving and slapping the patient, even tossing her around as if she was a ragdoll.
Eight nurses aides were either suspended or fired. Two have been charged with felonies and are going through the court system now.
Ultimately, the state director of health will decide if these aides will be placed on the list of other nurses aides who abused, neglected, or stole a patient's personal property or medicine.
Esther's son, Steve, understands there's a process in deciding whether the MetroHealth Medical Center's nurse's aides should be on the list, and it takes time. But he thinks it is only part of the solution to stopping nursing home abuse.
"It's not going to be a cure-all," Steve Piskor said. "It's not going to stop it. The only thing that will stop it is cameras in the nursing home."
Search the database below for nurse's aides on the list.

Worms : Michelin's recommendations
In former days Worms was an imperial residence on the banks of the Rhine. Today, the town extends along the river that irrigates the rich soil of the Palatinate Plain vineyards. The town is famous for the Diet of Worms, to which Luther was summoned in 1521 and before which he refused to retract his beliefs. As a result, he was banned to the outer reaches of the empire. We can still see many vestiges of the old city walls, particularly the Torturmplatz and the Karolingerstrasse.

A Summer Reading List for Kids
School may finish for the summer but that doesn't mean your kids can't keep learning.
Chronicle Unveils Its New Metreon Shop with a Weekend of Fun Events!

It means a pretty new place to buy books, at the brand-spanking new Chronicle Books outpost!

Chronicle Books' Fall Warehouse Sale Kicks Off This Weekend

This time around, you can save up to 65% on select goodies like cookbooks, children's books, books on lifestyle, home, arts, crafts, design, photography, travel, pop culture and much more.
Wave Porn: Chronicle Books' Best Surf Reads
When not wet, there are ways for surfers to further their surf game aside from doing daily push-ups. By flipping through pages of inspirational photographs, reading about conquering fears, and learning about the culture of the sport, immersion leads to enlightenment. For non-surfers, absorbing oceanic imagery and scoping out hot bodies in boardshorts and bikinis can be a fun pastime, too. Arguably one of the most stylish sports, surfing is undeniably cool. But there's so much more beyond the water's surface. San Francisco-based Chronicle Books is a fan, pumping out odes by the month. Here's a rundown of the publisher's best wave porn...

Local Father's Day Gifts Great for Every Dad, All Under $100

Golf accessories and the latest gadgets are the obvious go-tos, but in our experience, guys are specific about their gadgetry and it's best not to interfere (unless you know exactly what they're eyeing). This year, our Father's Day picks feature hip local products that are sensible, won't break the bank, and will please even the toughest dads.

SKILL LEVEL: Easy (Level 2)
SIZE: One Size About 7 x 90 in. (18 x 228.5 cm)
CORRECTIONS: None
18 sts and 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with A. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch
1. Scarf is worked in St st (k on RS, p on WS). Side edges will roll naturally.
2. When changing to new color, cut old color, leaving an 8 in. (20.5 cm) yarn tail of both old and new colors. Weave in these yarn ends when knitting has been completed.

We're not going to get a hurricane here this time but it is getting rather blowy outside. I wouldn't want to be traveling some of the more technical and narrow parts of the ICW with gusty conditions - especially not our next leg through Georgia, where the ICW is reputed to be in its worst state in terms of unmaintained shoaling. No, we are stuck here and the system is presently stationary - just sitting there churning out bad weather. It's going to be cloudy, windy, and rainy for the next few days or more according to the forecast while the thing moves slowly west. Part of me wishes I didn't have so much information from the internet about the weather so I could assure myself however falsely that I'm leaving real soon. But, as I said before, there are certainly worse places to get stranded. I've got four secure dock lines and 5 bumpers between the boat and the dock. The a/c is still working. It seems we'll survive this first serious storm of our sailing adventures.
Thems my homemade grits and, of course, low fat turkey sausage and finally the hand picked (from Sam's Club) blueberries.
08/20/2008, Hilton Head
It's going to be a rainy gloomy next several days. We'll keep ourselves busy (at least I will - the dogs mostly hang out whether we are at shore or at sea).
It's raining here now, but the photo above is what it looked like before we started experiencing the leading edge of a tropical storm. Whow, we just took some wind and the boat leaned over at the dock. I think I will secure the boat even better today to minimize the chance that it will be damaged by rubbing. Back to Jake, he's always been one to roll in things like mud or much worse, but since we've been away from home, he just rolls because he can and to express the joy of life and the ability to run free for some time.
08/20/2008, Palmetto Bay Marina, Hilton Head
We've been in Hilton Head just about a week, believe it or not. Time flies. I'm officially getting work done on the boat but unofficially I'm waiting out the remnents of Fay in a safe and comfortable location. We are already starting to get the outer bands. Nothing serious, just rainy unsettled weather. I've been trying to get non-boat things done, but that work is slow going. So is the boat work for that matter at this point. My mechanic told me straight out that he is deliberately slowing down on the final things so I will stay through the storm. I can't complain. Free dock space near the Hilton Head Yacht Club to get fixed up and to wait out a storm. The dogs have gotten excellent walks with and without their friend Monty (I just saw him go by for his morning walk but Jake and Anne are sleeping and I am blogging, so we'll go later). Sleep is good, including a nap on occasion. Frankly I'm ready to head on and have been for days, but if we're going to get stranded somewhere, here is better than good.
08/18/2008, Hilton Head
Sunday was, as usual in these parts, a relaxed day. Last night after midnight it rained heavily but the boat remained cool and dry, which was really comfortable. There's something about being in a boat when it's pouring outside but dry inside that is very satisfying. If we weren't on shore power, it would have gotten muggy inside with all the hatches closed, but we had ac, so it was cool and dry inside. We had better enjoy it while we have it because I suspect the hottest and most humid phase of this summer's cruising adventures is ahead of us. Today so far we are replacing the oil and the rest of the oil and fuel filters. This diesal engine has three filters for the fuel and a filter for the oil. We are also going to replace the water impellor and seals, and replace and properly tighten the belt. That should put the engine in order for the next 500 - 1000 miles or more. There are some other little projects that will take us perhaps until tomorrow and then Tropical Dreamer will be ready to head on. However, about that time, Fay or its remnents will be headed our way, so we may stick around. We'll see. I've got a court hearing that I'm appearing at telephonically early this afternoon, so it's good to be parked here for today. Starting to feel the urge to continue cruising, but again with Fay coming, we can't just boldly go south. Perhaps it will dissapate in a harmless direction... Nobody here thinks it will be very much when it gets this far north.
I broke out some authentic beans from Mexico and my bottle of Huichol. I doctor the canned beans with 1/2 and 1/2 and some cheddar cheese and other spices. The tortillas are pan toasted. Mmm, the taste of home.
08/17/2008, I'm in Hilton Head, she is in Cuba but evidently coming this way
Well, well, well, what do we have here. I spent some time early this morning studying this system and it isn't likely to hit us hard, but it seems were likely to feel its effect more or less. The predictions for this area are 20-30% chance of heavy winds later this week. However, if it does turn into a hurricaine and tracks as predicted, we will be on the top right portion of the system, which is the dangerous side. I'm in a pretty safe place now, but this thing isn't supposed to come our way until Wednesday or Thursday. Lets just take it one day at a time. If it doesn't look good to head south again on Monday or Tuesday, perhaps we'll be here for longer than expected. I've discussed with my German friends an action plan in the even a hurricaine hits in this area. We will anchor our boats in a protected spot near here, get the dogs and ourselves and the most important things in their Ford Explorer, and evacuate away from the shore, leaving the sailboats to sink or swim. And we're not going to leave the dogs even if the shelter won't allow animals. Probably nothing will happen and the system will dissapate long before it gets here, but just in case.
