For the boat parade, which was a fabulous boat tour and snorkling.
Here is a pic of us at Ray's (who owns Exuma water sports and hosted the tour) secret beach.
I know that one of the great disapointments of some of our friends in DC was that we did not stay long enough to do the Parade of Lighted Boats in December.
However, as evidenced by this photo, we did not miss out altogether.
The very first event of the 2009 Georgetown Cruising Regatta was the Sail Pass and Review.
We did not have store bought flags like the other boats, so Bill hung our most colorful clothes on the boat.
Lo and behold, guess which boat won??
Our computer has died . . . . . . . so you might not see any new posts for a while. Keep your fingers crossed that we might find someone who can fix it.
One of our favorite gatherings took place last night - as you can see, Gus took advantage of the opportunity to do some boat hopping.
Here is Bess at conch horn making class. Cruisers like to blow the conch horn at sunset. We are making several so we have some to bring back. We'll bring one for CYC so maybe they will bring back their sunset ritual on the deck with a conch horn instead of a cannon.
We've gone total G'town geriatric camp, here is Bill at conch horn making class.
Saturday night at Chat n Chill, Rockin' Ron's Croc hop.
And here is Bill taking care of the drying.
Ah, it's a glamorous life we lead. Here is Bess, the washing machine, doing the laundry.
Take care - we're living vicariously through the blogs.
Mike & Linda
Yup, we have been keeping tabs on Bill and Pam too.
Yesterday we participated in a fun race around Elizabeth Harbor. We did not win, but we did beat the one boat that beat us in the Long Island race, so Bill is calling it a victory.
As you may recall, we met after last year's Valentine's Day race, which Alibi II won, so it was pretty special for us to be back here for the event.
You can't possibly believe that!!
Here is a picture from a Junkanoo event we attended at Regatta Park in Georgetown. It featured a talk on the history of Junkanoo and a brief performance, which was just fabulous.
We went with Willie and Sara of Daisy, who we first encountered while locking through the Dismal Swamp waaaaay back last year. They are 19 and taking a year off from college to go cruising, which I think is just fabulous. Why didn't I think to do that?
More about Junkanoo, it is a street parade with music, which occurs in many towns across The Bahamas every Boxing Day (December 26) and New Year's Day. The largest Junkanoo parade happens in Nassau, the capital.
Junkanoo was celebrated in various parts of the Americas, and variants of the word's orthography may be found in each place - Jonkonnu or John Canoe in Jamaica; John Kuner in North Carolina; and John Canoe in Belize.
Junkanoo groups "rush" from midnight until shortly after dawn, to the music of cowbells, in costumes made from cardboard covered in tiny shreds of colourful crepe paper.
It's been a while since we posted. We left G'town last Thursday. About 40 boats raced to Long Island. We did well and had a great time.
Long Island is a wonderful place. We have gotten around some but there is much more to the island that we need to see.
Here is a shot of some of the other boats in the race - you can see what a gorgeous day it was.
Michelle and Clark from Seabattical I joined us for dinner tonight. We made Bill's Favorite Chili Pie and in return Michelle gave haircuts to Bess and the hounds. She did a pretty good job, huh?
In case you are interested in the chili pie, here is the recipe.
Put some chili in a big iron skillet or other oven safe dish. It can be homemade or store bought - we like to add a little cinnamon like they do in Cincinnati.
Over this, sprinkle chopped onions and shredded cheese.
On top, blob corn bread batter, homemade or mix.
Throw it in the oven at 400 or 450 degrees until the bread is done and you like the looks of it. 20 to 30 minutes usually does it.
Allow to cool for 5 or 10 minutes and serve with sour cream on the side.
It is ridiculously easy yet a real crowd pleaser. If you don't believe us, try it yourself or fly down here and we will make it for you.
I could not help myself. This is a picture of our current neighborhood crank who I call The American Speedo. Not only does he commit the obvious swimwear offense (usually reserved for Europeans), but he has poor flag etiquette, flying the American flag above the Bahamian courtesy flag. Shockingly, this individual in single.
He hollers at anyone who tried to anchor near him. After we dropped the hook not too far away he drove around the boat in his dinghy going full speed with a menacing scowl. Bill and I bravely hid below.
On Saturday night a very pretty sailboat attempted to anchor within his hollering range a while after rum thirty. When the poor beleaugured boater decided to pull the hook and head elsewhere he had to pass through a gauntlet of cockpit cocktail parties. It was very funny to hear the comments aimed at them everything from "Go get back there" to "Hey man, I think your anchor is dragging."
Is clearly much better than that featured in the previous post.
They look pretty good and weigh about 2 pounds less after we washed all the sand off of them.
It is freezing cold in DC.
Miss you!!
We have been trying for months to get a good picture of the hounds doing their launch from the dinghy. At last we got Gus mid-jump. This picture does not accurately capture how flippin' funny it is when they jump, but it is better than a sharp stick in the eye.
It's not all just hanging around, drinking rum and watching sunsets. Today we made pasta from scratch. Inspired by the Naked Chef, we used the recipe and instruction from his book Cook with Jamie ("just brilliant") and employed a pasta maker we acquired from Scott and Freddie back in DC. (Speaking of DC, anyone note the Frager's T-shirt?)
Here Bill is helping by strewing pasta wherever he can to dry. Way at the top of the photo you can barely see where he has run a pvc pipe across to serve as a drying rack. Yep, pvc pipe - proving once again its invaluable versatility.
This is not a great shot, but it shows the crowd and the scene for this evening's festivities - a bonfire beach party on Hamburger Beach.
I brought my potato pizza dealie, which is easy to make but insanely yummy. It was gone in seconds.
Start with the base which I make using our friend Anne L's Ridiculously Easy No Rise Dough Recipe:
1 cup flour
1/3 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
pinch of salt
Knead for 5 minutes, let rest for 5 minutes.
Roll out, pinch the edges so there is a little lip. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes at 400 degrees.
Fill with some mashed potatoes, enough to just fill the shell, sprinkle first bacon bits and then shredded cheddar over the top. Put back in the oven until the cheese is nice and melty. Serve with sour cream.
The dough recipe can also be used for thin crust pizza or tarts.
We have been remiss in not posting any shots of the wonderful sunsets we enjoy every day.
This shot shows our boat right under the sun from our current favorite beach spot.
Came around a corner in Exuma Market and there, before our very eyes, was the long lost Puddle Jumper, Bill Johnson.
In this picture we are enjoying a stop at La Shante in Little Exuma - yummy cracked conch, great rum punch and delightful company.
Bill says he's secure enough to wear this little number that I sewed. He's a big fan of Fatty Goodlander, whose father liked to wear a pareo, so we're trying variations on that theme.
Keep in mind, there is rum in that glass, which may have something to do with his attitude. And we'll see if this post is allowed to remain up for any length of time.
I can't help it.
Jake and Gus found some new friends at Sand Dollar Beach. Archie and Marie (pronounced the Scottish way - Mah-rie).
Here is Jake (the birthday boy, he is 4 today) leading a good round of Mad Dog.
If only Wags, Tattie, Morgan and Murphy could be here!
Glad you guys made it and the pups have miles and miles of beaches to explore
Big hugs...
Here is Bill with Clark and Michelle from Seabattical 1.
We have confirmed that, despite appearances, Clark is in no way related to Scott Berg.
Forementioned new Canadian friends from s/v Seabattical1, Clark and Michelle, organized a walking tour of Black Point while we were there. Here we are with Geraldine and Wayne from s/v Intuition 1, more Canadians. Marcel you would fit right in down here!
As I mentioned, it got cold last week. How cold? Look at these guys, dressed for snow.
Here we are at Scorpions in Black Point - photo credits go to our new Canadian friends from Seabattical 1.
As you can tell from the layers, it got a little cold last week - it was all the way down into the 60s and pretty darn windy.
Bill loves Black Point because they have the nicest laundromat in all of the Bahamas.
While at Staniel Cay we did have a mission. As part of the Seven Seas Cruising Association's Operation Bahamas Project we brought five boxes of school books from the US to the Staniel Cay All Ages School.
Here are 11 of the 14 children who attend this K-8 school. It is usually 11 boys and 3 girls but today two of the girls and one boy were out with the flu.
They were a delightful and well behaved group of children. The teaching staff is comprised of a couple who emigrated from Guyana two years ago.
We look forward to bringing them more supplies and visiting them again next year.
Love to you both, Deeanna and Mark
After perfecting cracked conch in Allen's Cay, clearly we were done there. Next stop, Staniel Cay.
Staniel holds a special place in my (Bess') heart. As some folks know, about 3 or 4 years ago I jumped ship at Staniel when (long story) cruising with some crazy folks (no, I won't name names) and met those crazy Okies, Linda and Ken VanTreese. The very same Okies I was visiting last year when I found Bill.
You have to do something with it - here is Bess' first attempt to make cracked conch. We were mighty happy with the result - and any visitors will be too - Gail Larcher, have you bought your ticket yet??
Five days of laziness at Morgan's Bluff finally ended and we headed east - two days crossing to the Northern Exumas and at last we were there.
We found a great spot at Allen's Cay, took the obligatory iguana picture and then proceeded to laze around for another 4 days.
Somewhere in there, in a shocking burst of energy, Bill found 5 mature conchs and taught himself how to clean them. Here is a picture of the genius at work.
Due to higher winds and rougher seas than expected, what could have been a 9 or 10 hour crossing ended up about 15 hours. So rather than continuing across the Bahama Bank and going to Morgan's Bluff in a straight shot, we anchored our first night at Gun Cay.
We snuck the pups to the beach for a walk the next morning before heading out - so after just promising not to put up more pictures of them, here is just one more. As you can see, they were so happy to be on the beach they felt like dancing.
Now that we have a good internet connection and plenty of time, we need to recap the last few weeks - the crossing, Andros and the Exumas so far.
As noted earlier, it seemed that Christmas Day would give us a decent weather window - not fabulous, but decent. Turns out the forecast was not exactly accurate. Instead of easterly winds of 10 to 15, we never saw winds of less than 20 right on the nose. And predictions of seas 1 to 2 feet near shore and 2 to 4 offshore, nope, not right about that either. Bill says they were 5 or 6 feet, Bess swears she saw 8.
It doesn't look so rough in this picture, but it was - and the water really is that blue.
We have just arrived at Big Majors, around the corner from Staniel Cay and will have internet for the first time in two weeks, except for brief time last weekend.
So we will do some updating over the next few days - we need to backtrack a little and cover the crossing and activities since - but we will try to cut down on the puppy pix a bit.
In Allen's Cay, we did take the obligatory iganua picture.
More later . . . . . .
This is the sound of jealous hitting the keyboard.
We have just dropped the hook after a day's sail from Morgan's Bluff, where a one day stop to clear in turned into 5 days of laziness, interupted by a few projects..
Clearing in through Morgan's was easy and the people there, delightful. Their major industry is agriculture - grapefruit, tomatoes, cabbage and a host of other produce is grown there.
Here is a picture of our new friend Willie, who owns Willie's Water Lounge.
For most of our five days in Morgan's Bluff we were the only boat in the anchorage. New Year's Eve found us completely alone in the harbor. Willie's was closed and there was not another living soul around for miles.
On our last day there, we ventured over to the next town, Lowe Sound, and enjoyed our first conch salad of the year at Rex and Rosie's, a beach place owned by a delightful couple. Rosie explained that she first fell for Rex when she saw him coming out of the water carrying two big conchs.
Tomorrow we will head to Allen's Cay, at the far north end of the Exumas, known for the rare igaunas that call it home. They scamper out to greet the dingys coming to shore and expect handouts, with a stated preference for grapes. We don't think Gus and Jake will be making that trip to the beach.
Gus and Jake have happily made the transition to Bahamas living. They really enjoy the twice daily trips to the beach and end up running so much they sleep most of their days away.
Wishing everyone a happy holiday season.
From Bess, Bill, Gus and Jake
Tomorrow at dawn we will leave Biscayne Bay and head east into the the Straits of Florida, across the Gulf Stream and through the Great Bahama Bank to Morgan's Bluff, Andros, about 150 miles from here. We expect to arrive sometime Friday afternoon.
Morgan's Bluff was named after Captain Henry Morgan, the 17th-century Caribbean privateer from Wales. Local lore has it that his treasure, which has ever been found, is hidden there somwhere in the wide system of subterranean limestone caves, which are complete with stalactites and stalagmites.
Captain Morgan, the rum named after him, portrays Morgan as a pirate, however Henry Morgan was offended by that characterization as he considered himself to be a privateer (one whose nation paid and licensed them to attack and plunder an enemy's shipping).
It does not look like the weather will cooperate for us to go anywhere today. National Weather Service forecast is "East winds around 20 knots with frequent higher gusts. Bay waters choppy in exposed areas." Similar forecast for tomorrow.
Thursday however, is looking good for a crossing over to Gun Cay, south of Bimini.
So, given the weather, looks like we will skip the Keys for now and head across the Gulf Stream later this week. Woo hoo, a Bahamas crossing for Christmas!
Congratulations and good luck with your new venture! I am so jealous. The weather here is sooooo cold. I can't wait to meet Bill!
Happy 2009! You are off to a good start.
Ha!, to all those who said Bessie could not live without the Crackberry. Here she is mailing the BB and keys to the office back to DC.
This was one of a few last minute errands before we leave in the morning. We had expected to be on our way by now, but finishing up the transmission install and subsequent alignment, plus restowing everything, has taken longer than expected.
Of course any possiblilty of departing will depend on the weather. We have not yet gotten enough information to decide whether we will move south down to the Keys or, if we have a good weather window, head over to Bimini.
Enjoy the Islands.
Happy New Year!
Take a look at these faces.
Gus, on the right, at least feels something resembling regret for trashcapades while we were gone.
But Jake, who is the brains of the operation and most likely instigated the raid, appears largely unconcerned - almost challenging us to do something about it.
Merry Christmas
Sure Bill, yeah, you are going to give those puppies a sound thrashing after that trash incident. Can you see the terror on their faces??
To my absolute delight, tonight I got a call from the "girls," my gang back in DC (this pic shows some, not all, of the gang - plus two stray guys and handsome Bill in the back right.) They were including me by phone in the annual Christmas gathering at Rosa Mexicana.
Anyone who knows me can tell you that friends are a huge part of my life - leaving DC was easy, leaving my friends in DC was very hard. I'm not sure it has really sunk in yet that calling Robin for a quick bite at Jenny's or schlepping out to the latest, greatest hot spot that Sue has found or going to a concert with Laura - all those things I took for granted over the years - those times are past.
Now, fishing Linda out of the Potomac in December, I think we all agree that once was enough on that.
Anyway, the "girls" are a very special part of my life - an amazing group of individuals, of every political leaning and from every region of the country, who are all smart, funny and incredibly accomplished.
It still amazes me that we were able to regularly get this group together for a such wide array of activities - not just eating and drinking but sailing, skiing, the rodeo, spa outings (not enough), baseball games, Edwin shows (of course), Sue's personal favorite, snowmobiling - and THE event of the year, the Parade of Lighted Boats.
So raise a glass (or three) for me. I really miss you guys. But save us some time on your summer 09 calendars, we'll be back for sailing in the Bay.
As you can see, the girls love Bill too
mmmm...25 more minutes to homemade pizza...Thanks Linda VanT for the recipe!
Here it is
Pizza Dough Recipe - Makes 1 crust
2 c. all purpose flour
2/3 c. lukewarm water
1 pkg. dry instant yeast (2 1/4 tsp.)
1 1/2 tblsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tblsp. olive oil
In large bowl combine water, yeast and sugar. Mix with whisk. Let stand until yeast starts to grow. Add salt, olive oil and 1 c. flour and mix well. Add remaining flour and mix well. Knead dough on lightly floured surface, adding additional flour if needed until dough is no longer sticky. Place dough in large lightly greased bowl and cover with towel. Put in warm place to double in size (about 30 minutes). When doubled, punch down and roll out to fit pizza pan.
Bake 450 - 500 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes
Today we heard from our friend Katie Hammon, who kindly sent along this pic from our trip to Idaho last summer - along with huge news that a baby Hammon is on it's way.
Woo hoo Katie and Wayne!!
Bill finally decided to shave. He's leaving the beard behind with the cold weather.
I just checked on our friends Bill and Christy's blog, and it put us to shame. We are so pathetically boring by comparison. And not funny at all. Do they really have lives that much more interesting than us? Dammit, I hate being a piker.
So I guess I will try to ramp up the text - I just figure no one (except sister Martha) would want to read that much and that they are all really just waiting until we get to the Bahamas to see pix of blue water and huge lobsters that we caught with our bare hands. Aren't they? or am I really that bad at assuming everyone thinks the same as I do.
Okay, well here is (surprise, surprise) another picture of Bill Storm and the boys. Bill is completely absorbed in Nigel Calder's diesel book as he gets ready to do his big transmission install.
Behind him you can see my goal shorts. They are size 8s from about 4 or 5 years ago. They are placed there, right above the lockers where all the food is stored - something of a reminder. As it turns out, the 'it just falls off you when you're cruising' diet really only works if you go offshore a lot without scopolomine patches - thereby spending entire nights face down on the floor clutching a trash bag for when you lose the ginger shaps that were supposed to help settle your stomach. Sure, if I did that every night from Annapolis to Miami my goal shorts would already be too big. But it really is not my idea of a fun time and who knew that Bessie was that much of a weenie??
Anyway, after that exhausting burst of activity, crafting four whole paragraphs, Bill and I will go back to doing what we do every afternoon, sitting around, doing nothing and drinking rum. In the morning, we sit around, do nothing and drink coffee. I'm not sure that schedule will give us much material for future posts, so you might just welcome the blue water and big lobster pictures after all.
For Bill anyway, here he is with his new transmission - is that a happy guy or what?
12/15/2008, Dinner Key - Dinghy shot
I tell ya' - any second now, I'm jumping
12/15/2008, Dinner Key - Island B
And I'm in
Just wish we could get a better pic
We finally got warm a week ago. Pulled into Miami last Thursday and dropped the hook at Baker's Haulover, about 14 miles north of where we are now.
Friday morning we headed out to the the last few miles to Dinner Key (we were headed here to see Ken and Linda VanTreese - the very same Okies who picked up a stray Bessie in Staniel Cay two or so years ago) - anyway as we approached the first bridge, Bill felt some slipping in the transmission and we couldn't seem to get any oomph out of the engine.
He had been thinking that the transmission might be nearing the end of its expected life, so we were glad that it happened here in Miami rather than in the Bahamas. Bill is waaay cool - he figured out how to pull the tranmission by himself - and it was neither easy to access or to figure out.
In the end, it is not nearly as bad as Bill (aka Suzie Sunshine for his ability to expect the worst in every situation) predicted. Turns out it will cost less to put a new one in than to rebuild the old. But the supplier is shut down for inventory this week, so early next week is the soonest we'll be able to get it. Thanks to the folks at Transmission Marine Inc, we should be all set sometime next week.
So for now, we're just hanging out relaxing.
Here is a pic from the boat - that's Biscayne Bay bridge in the background.
Most of the transients either get a slip at one of the marinas or a mooring nearby. We, however, are out with the real people (real what? we're not sure yet) in the anchorage.
Out here you may see a boat that you think is abandoned, but it may well be someone's home. Someone who most likely thinks that 8 o'clock in the morning is a fine time for a Budweiser.
12/12/2008, Dinner Key - Island B
Since we are waiting on a new transmission, everything from the cockpit storage lockers is out - so our Clampett look has been taken to a new level.
However, we think it gives us some status out here in the 'hood.
Greetings from the crew of Alibi II!!!
Pups in the sun
We had the chance to visit with Bill's nephew Ryan, who was nice enough to drive us around so we could get a new camera - here's our first photo with the Canon PowerShot SD1100. We had just dragged poor Ryan out to the boat in terrible chop so everyone except the hounds is pretty much soaking wet.
Gus and Jake huddled below while offshore
Here is a shot, right before the camera died, of all the bow junk - this is before it was all loaded to give the boat that Appalachia-meets-the-cruising-life look. We have yet to see another boat that even comes close to matching our Clampett look.
Updates coming soon!! With lots of pictures and stories - all good, we hope.
We'll leave the Chesapeake Bay later this year hoping to cross over to the Bahamas early in the new year and get to Exuma by February at the latest.
Check back and drop us a line.
Bess and Bill

This month the focus is on breast cancer
Nassau County has one of the nation's highest rates of breast cancer, and more than 1,200 women in the county were diagnosed with the disease from 2004 to 2008, according to the State Department of Health's New York State Cancer Registry. This deadly disease accounts for 14.9 percent of all cancer diagnoses in the county.
Despite our high breast cancer rates, fewer than 18 percent of those 1,200 women died during that period. Early diagnosis through mammography is one reason, according to the National Cancer Institute, that more women can call themselves survivors, and why the Herald urges all women to make an appointment with their doctor today.
Any time is the right time to sign up for a yearly mammogram, but October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is particularly appropriate. This month, service organizations, medical professionals and government agencies are disseminating information to the public and encouraging research advancements to find a cure.
As experts continue to collaborate and survivors raise funds for the fight against the disease, women continue to be diagnosed with it every day. Whether you or someone you care about just received this distressing medical news or have battled the disease for years, there are free resources available on Long Island.
For those without insurance, the Breast Center at Nassau University Medical Center offers free mammography screenings thanks to a state grant. Call (516) 572-3300 to see if you qualify.
For emotional support, connect with survivors who can relate to what you are going through on the Adelphi Breast Cancer Hotline, (800) 877-8077, between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. For support groups, yoga classes, group discussions and additional resources, contact 1 in 9: the Long Island Breast Cancer Action Coalition, at the Hewlett House, by calling (516) 374-3190 or emailing email@example.com.
Don't wait until it's too late. Talk to your doctor today, and schedule a screening.

Did Ana Ivanovic purchase this spectacular home in sunny Mallorca?
The Roland Garros champ, who was spotted sharing outfits with boytoy Fernando Verdasco in Madrid recently, has reportedly dropped 4.5 million euros ($5.7 million) on this 5 bedroom, 4 bath modern villa in Palma Son-Vida.
Here's the description:
This is a villa built on modern lines in 1998. The total plot occupies about 6,000 square meters, of which currently built-up area is 950. The property includes a project to a spa and a house east of additional guests, who can add other 750 m2 to the surface and habitable. The villa has two levels: the ground floor consists of a room of about 130 m2, open kitchen with breakfast area, master bedroom with dressing room and bathroom. On the first floor are 4 bedrooms with terrace and three bathrooms, two of which are en suite. It also includes a separate staff apartment with bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen.
Ana and her tini-wini bikini do love to vacation in Mallorca but did she also purchase the pad for more intimate Anando action? If so, then it's safe to say when Ana commits she REALLY commits, though the same probably can't be said for Fernando and his infamous "dating" ways.
Buyer's regret? Stay tuned...

Hey wasn't Ana shopping for homes in Mallorca when those photos of she and Rafa were circulating? Hmmm. Well if things don't work out with Fern she can just hang out with Rafa on his native island...not sure how much Xisca would enjoy that! :)ReplyDelete
Beautiful house! Loving the Buddha stature. So she will leave Fed-town and move to Rafa-Island then?ReplyDelete
Good choice, it's much sunnier there anyways lol

Wow, but I kinda doubt she will go for something so big for couple of days of vacation, maybe she plans to sell it for 7 mill some day?Anyhow, it's ridicilous how many do you need after having money, who need such big houses?If I had 5 million, and not regarding wheter I earned it or was given to as heritage i'd give away 3 mill, I would want to have for me afcourse, but it's ridicilous , while there's so much poverty in world(and any of us could have been born as an hungry child in Africa, the mistery of life, and unfairness),people are don't see that they could have been n the same situation,and I would get enourmous satisfaction in helping person who isn't lucky as I am, if I was a millionare.Reading yesterday Bernie Eccleston has sitting in his bank account 2 billion dollars!!I mean people!I truly hope for him to be in next life little black hungry baby watching some dudes over there having money sitting on their bank account!Smart people, smart!And highly conscious!!ReplyDelete

Oooh look at all the greeneries - rumble in the jungle!!ReplyDelete
I am expecting pics of them having some sexytime, anytime. It's too delicious.
anon 4:47 - i don't think there's anything wrong with having money and buying big property as long as you're also giving back when and where you can. and ana does do charity work and works with unicef and there may be other philanthropy she may be doing that we don't know about.ReplyDelete
it's not the money...it's the people and what they choose (or not choose) to go with it.
babz: she better hope there's a high fence to keep the camera-toting stalkeratti (and you) out!
Whaaaa? Stalker? Moi??ReplyDelete

i'm loving the house. i think it was reported this july (when ana was on vacation in mallorca with her family) in several spanish magazines that ana was already scouting for a house then. and rafa was even reported to be helping her out look for houses.ReplyDelete
and yeah, ana has been doing a lot of charity work for the past few years. in some of her diary entries that also came out in major newspapers (the age, the guardian, USA today, etc), you would notice that it would say that proceeds will also go to the UNICEF. most (if not all) of her charity work are directed towards serbia which shows how much she wants to give back to her country.

Directly none of them are helping the worst cases, as hungry children, but who would have time for that, it's a tough job.I mean, they give such small portions of their money, that it's not all that worthy, they give like a $100,000, yet having millions.But just the sick world we live in.There's not enough money to pay doctors big time, or normal workers, but there is a lot money for Hollywood crapters I mean actors, and rap clowns I mean singers.Great.WONDERFUL.Who needs 7 100m2 bedrooms, and you're using 2of them?Today on cribs 50 cents shows his property, and it goes like this, here's the kitchen, but we never use it, (!!great, let the money sit and the castle is so worthy just for showing, we all just have time), here's the bed that costed $300,000 , but I never sleep here, always on the road, here's my pool, but I hardly use it...like great, great, great.....smart, smart, wonderful people.Conscious is hell of a tough to have this days.ReplyDelete
You know what's interesting about all the "celebs" who make money and buy these big properties (and I'm not saying this is the case with Ana - just generally speaking) but they buy these things with cash and don't realize (or aren't advised correctly) that they end up owning them outright. This means they're considered assets (not liabilities) and get taxed out the ass for owning them outright.ReplyDelete
So of course, over time they don't have the cash anymore to cover the taxes since they spent it all right away and don't pay the taxes. Then they end up broke and either on the run or in jail. At least that's what happens a lot here.
You could go down the list of celebs who've been brought down by tax evasion from being broke-ass.
I'm not a tax lawyer but it seems like an awful, short-term life strategy to me!!!!
It's never what it seems!!!
It's just my gut feeling, but I have a feeling that this is all heading for a disaster...ReplyDelete

Very peaceful, relaxing looking house.ReplyDelete
The decadence around Hollywood or other celebs really is totally crazy. They sure could donate more money. Unfortunately a lot of those people get greedier the more money they make.ReplyDelete
But I wouldn't necessarily say that's the case with Ana or any other baller. In contrary to Hollywood stars they had to work really hard to get where they are, so I'd say most of them appreciate it and want to give back.

This year's selection of Chicago's dining and drinking leadership focuses on the artists behind the beautiful and delicious compositions on our plates and in our glasses. A few on our list may be celebrities, at least in the food community, but that's not why they got into this business, with its long hours, burnt fingers and demanding customers. Whether it's food or drink, fine dining or pizza, salumi or chocolate, these chefs, mixologists and artisans toil behind the scenes so that we can enjoy some of the finest and most innovative food and drink in the country. It's thanks to this impressive group—and the hundreds right behind them on our ever-growing short list—that Chicago is considered a national culinary treasure. It's unquestionable that we lost one of our giants this past year with the passing of Charlie Trotter, but his legacy is carried forward in the artistry of the many who served under him. And they, in turn, are inspiring the next generation to learn classic cooking techniques, respect the work of legends past and dare to innovate. Oui, Chef. (Amber Gibson)

let me explain my problem. I've been using Zimbra for some time, but a client wants to use just the Calendar part of Zimbra. He already has a email server with thousands of users.
The thing is: how I can explain to him that he needs another mail server for Zimbra? Even if he is going to use just the Calendar tool. Is the argument just "because it needs" ?
Can anyone help with a good answer? I think that maybe Zimbra may use his mail server, but I didn't read all the documentation to see if this is an option.
Thanks a lot.

Uranus 20" DK.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 10:29 AM
Greetings all,
Attached is an observation made of Uranus made with Dr. Hugh Sasse using the University of Leicester's 20" DK planewave telescope, last night. Conditions were only average at best with seeing around AIII-IV and some drifting cloud. A bright waning Moon also hampered observations a little. The planet was examined both in IL and with a red W#25A filter, the results were as follows:
(i) Drawing 1 (IL) [2214UT- 2226UT]
The planet was examined at x356 and x540 and there appeared to be a brighter EZ. Just 'below' this was what appeared to be a darker greyish band. A brighter spot was suspected on the limb (indicated). Interestingly there appeared to be a slight change in colour compared to when we last observed the planet with a stronger cyan component being present.
(ii) Drawing 2 (W#25A)
Examined the planet in a deep red W#25A filter. Due to the presence of high cloud we had to reduce power to x288, but the disk size was just large enough to be able to make some observations. In particular, the brighter EZ seemed to still be present, along with the darker band which MAY have been easier to see in this filter (impossible to be certain). The brighter spot also seemed to be present. We made plans to observe the planet with a blue W#80A filter but alas clouds came up and we were forced to stop observations on this rather inconclusive note.
Best wishes,

So let me tell you, you are lucky. I never seen any band on Uranus with my C14 because the few times I observed it, I never got a decent seeing for this planet to increase to a such power.
Last night I observed Jupiter easily at 434X for a real clear view and the moon at 782X !!! I should have had a look at Uranus but I don't.

Posted 05 October 2012 - 12:35 AM
About the the brightening you noted both in AL and red color I will try to check this at the same longitude you reported. If this is a bright spot it will have a certain duration and not drifting a lot.
Hope the weather will be with us, rainy now since a week and next week forecasted.
Good hope.

I engaged a new 250mm scope for getting a compromise with the seeing and the resolution ability.
It has a proven strehl ratio of 0.966 global on the tube, the central obstruction needs to be deducted for getting a true equivalent perfect diameter of 168-170mm approaching the cassegrain 305mm performance. Therefore the contrast levels are almost similar.
Last evening was average and in spite of this, during calm times (7/10 images) I could drawn the attached report for your perusal. It should interresting to compare with some other documents issued on the site (the oval brigthening near the limb in the south temperate belt).
The weather being stormy here it is difficults to perform better.
Good hope

Also the Central meridians are 100 degrees apart between the two sketches, so actually the bright spot is on one limb in Paul's and the opposite limb in Stanislas' (just to confuse you more Pete!).
It's quite interesting that (if the mirror inversion between the two drawings is indeed due to telescope design or something like that) the two sketches agree very well indeed.
Posted 14 October 2012 - 06:14 AM
Pole or not is a result of a method and local conditions. This overall aspect is never until now duly assessed except by experience, of what.
This is not an argument.
The presentation of the sketch are clear if you follow, not on CN but on the japanese alpo the results given.
Uranus south given and rotation. Here the morning limb.
The brightening is not named as a spot but a brigthening.
Have you saw the limb darkening, because this may interfere with the brightening for getting a spot looking appearance.
You see, visual observers are prudent, imagers hardly thinking, and without assessments, also comparative assessments.
Now the brigthening is interresting to note and needs more data for a firm evaluation for saying this is the same.
In first, assessment with time to see if this is rotating with the planet, i got no enough time for.
In second, assessment day to day for collecting the same features.
In third, to assess what was changed around, the dark collar bordering the pole has gone.
When you see an imager getting a similar approach, ring me.
For the moment they stay on banding structure collected on a favorable period, because constrast had raised. And the banding idea stays on pure circles shape, nothing else can exist, and they don't know exactly behind desks.
Posted 14 October 2012 - 09:55 AM
Thats not fair to imagers or the technology behind the cams and processing software used these days. This isnt the days of tri-x or ektachrome anymore and the CCD is in another realm. I dont think your assesments of visual versus ccd is accurate.

Unfortunately this is not a matter of aperture mainly.
The question of scope is mainly lead by the D-d factor combined by the PTV level (or RMS for others). This implies an equivalent perfect diameter that own more or less the properties of this perfect diameter in terms of FTM curve.
For the featuring size on this planet this enough representative.
This way is interresting for comparison between diameters or scope in use. Otherwise we are discussing of the sexe of the trade names long time and useless. In other this means a potential that is degraded by the seeing level.
For instance my C8 equals the mewlon 180 that i owned and solded, now the 250 cassegrain equals almost the Meade 12 which is not bad.
Now when equivalent perfect diameters are defined the comparison between sizes is surprisingly not so crucial because the contrast is lead by this formula well verified with the FTM curve evaluations: c=c' * w/(w+5/6*D)
D the perfect dia, w width of the feature (elongated), c' the contrast actual on the planet.
If you get 1 or 2% on the planet, at the exit of the scope you will have less. Normal because a scope is a low pass filter. Sothat between 10 and 15" the gain is not null, not 1.5x but say 15% more in term of contrast.
Presently for capturing we need contrast.
Also it is necessary to know the scope characteristics (d, PTV actual) for getting the efficiency. Diffraction limited
commercial means only PTV3.3 (just for seeing the airy disk and the 1st diffraction ring well blurred in fact). In that case the strehl ratio is substantially less than 80% sothat the 15" may be less performing than the 10".
Just the idea because the intrinsic scope data are not identified. The 250 in use here equals 168mm perfect.
Hope this may be clear for you and an help.
Posted 16 October 2012 - 04:15 AM
Many thanks for all the comments, I feel I should addressed some of the points raised here. First of all the telescope used to make the observations;
This was a a 20" Dall Kirkham. No star diagonal was used so North (as indicated by WINJUPOS) is at the bottom of the picture. To confuse matters, NASA have a different defintion of north than the IAU, the NASA definition puts north at the actua pole, the IAU definition (used here) puts north where the northern magnetic pole is located.
No star diagonals were used in this drawings, the image is drawn as it came out of the eyepiece. The markings on Uranus are always vague and ill-defined, even with a telescope as large as this, considerable care has to be taken since the disk is so small and one can easily be decieved. Nevertheless, I am reasonably sure the bright spot and brighter EZ were present.
Now the comparison with Stanislas-jean. Given the curvature of the EZ, some sort of star-diagonal must have been used. It looks as though this drawig was made some 12 days later, and is at a different CM longitude, so unless this is a long lived spot which has drifted in longitude (which I think unlikely), it must be a different feature.
Finally, the comparison between imaging and visual. This argument is probably one of the most pointless arguments in astronomy. Each method has its pros and cons, and in the end both processes require the input human brain (with all its subjectetivity). While it is true some imagers are content just to take pretty pictures, this is also true of some visual observers, I have seen a few drawings which are simply artistic interpretations, not scientific ones.
What we have to do is catagorise between observers, and artists. The observers should represent the scientific area of amateur astronomy. That is not to say the artistic way is any less valid, if that's what gives people pleasure out of astronomy then so be it.
I think most of what Stanislas said has been lost in translation, but I agree: your survey of imagers is wrong, I know quite a few British imagers and they are first class dilgent observers. Don't make sweeping statements which are blatently not true.
Best wishes,
Posted 16 October 2012 - 04:20 AM
Taras, you also have to look for some time, you can't just take a quick look, I spend about 15 minutes examining the disk of Uranus at various powers to try and build up a picture of what's there. Of course it maybe that you are sensitive to different colours (this is why people who are sensitive to red have difficulty seeing the markings of Venus).
Best wishes,
Posted 16 October 2012 - 04:52 AM
This is not the same feature. The sketch I performed here in past are performed with a diagonal mirror.
But what I note is brightenings are on this temperate belt.
Last evening I checked again the Uranus at CM 280°, 260° last report here, and the brightening is still here.
Now regarding magnifications for use on this planet the higher the better indeed but considering the seeing level on the moment. 30min arc represent the full moon size with the nake eye, it's a pretty size for collecting features with 500x on good nights, with 20min of arc (still enough) it can be catched still something, under this is problématic with regards to contrast levels. This means here 333x which is enough with a 200mm of good facture.
At final in spite of these conditions the features are not strong and illness indeed but here, as you reported also.
I donot spend more than few minuts for drawing what is reported, I spend time after in order to confirm or try to confirm what was at the first look. This verification stage take some long minuts.

Women's Basketball
News: Women's Cager Parks On Mark During 34-Point Win Over LASW
Kaitlyn Parks made 9 of her 10 shots from the floor on her way to 20 points as the state No. 3-ranked Pasadena City College women's basketball team routed host Los Angeles Southwest, 77-43, Friday in a South Coast Conference game.
Parks, a sophomore center, displayed her soft touch inside the paint, hitting mostly layups but also a few short jumpers. Her defense was equally impressive, making a game-high five of PCC's 14 steals. She added five rebounds.
The Lancers (13-4, 2-0 in SCC play) shot well from the free throw line, sinking 22 of 31 attempts for a 71 percent accuracy. Sophomore guard Skai Thompson was 7-for-8 at the line for all of her points.
Pasadena's bench also impressed, especially outside shooting bomber guards Kiara Phillips and Tyler Polk. Phillips buried three 3-pointers as part of her 11 points while Polk added 12 points (two treys) and four rebounds.
Sophomore starting guards Desiree Loving (seven points, eight assists) and Tyler Crockom (nine points, seven assists, five rebounds and three steals) served as playmakers and pushed PCC's fast break.
LA Southwest (2-10, 0-2) opened an early 11-5 lead, but PCC responded by outscoring the Cougars, 28-8, over the final seven minutes of the first half. LASW was led by Christyan Scorza with 14 points.
The Lancers renew their rivalry with two-time defending state champion Mt. San Antonio on Wednesday, Jan. 15. Tip-off is 7 p.m. at the Mounties' gym.

In-store promotional programs have the unique capability of reaching a large targeted audience, yet they currently make up less than one percent of total DTC marketing expenditures. But that trend is changing as savvy pharma marketers have begun to realize that the medium's ability to deliver more balanced and informative content helps maximize return on DTC investments. In fact, independent research shows that in-store promotions yield an average prescription lift of nearly 10 percent across a wide range of therapeutic categories, generating a return of $6.40 for every dollar invested. In comparison, the average return on total DTC advertising expenditures is $2.20 for every dollar spent, according to IMS Health.
How It Works
Drugstore customers routinely buy over-the-counter products, from antacids to cold remedies to pain relievers, without consulting their healthcare professionals. Many of us self-treat symptoms with OTC products without ever knowing the exact cause of the problem. Who hasn't seen a co-worker take antacids day after day, without bothering to consult a physician to find out why his stomach is upset all the time? That individual might reconsider a visit to the doctor if he were to run across some detailed information about chronic upset stomach in the pharmacy aisle where his antacids are sold. In another example, an older woman taking calcium supplements might be interested in prescription medications for osteoarthritis. If she were to read information on that very topic while perusing the supplement aisle at her local drugstore, she may decide to visit her doctor to talk about the benefits of prescription medicines.
Cholesterol-lowering medications make up one therapeutic category that has seen a significant rise in scripts driven by in-store promotions. The high noise level about these therapies has probably confused many consumers about which product might be right for them, and retailers and manufacturers are finding they can differentiate benefits of certain medications better through in-store promotions than they can with TV ads.

|'There's Country in the Air' is 2013 County Fair theme
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
|Wednesday, 08 May 2013 07:42
Cole LeBlanc won $50 for Better Beef Makers 4-H Club when he submitted the theme selected for the July 24-28 Phillips County Fair.
"There's Country in the Air" was chosen by the fair board, who offered 4-H clubs and FFA chapters in the county the chance to win cash for submitting the winning fair theme.
Grand marshals for this year's fair parade will be past county commissioners and their wives, Jerry and Judy Beavers and Bud and Bonnie Biesemeier.
One of the biggest changes in this year's fair schedule lineup is the change in the time of the Junior Livestock Sale. It will be starting at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 27 this year due to the stock car races being held that night.
The buyers' BBQ will be held in the Biesemeier Room at the Event Center following the sale.
Other new and different options this year at the fair will be a Friday Night Family Fun Night. There will be lots of fun things to do for a very reasonable price.
First off, the BBQ put on by R&B Catering will offer a kids meal at a reduced price. Activities will include frisbee golf, soccer, farm olympics, poker tournament, bingo, ATV rodeo, a dunk tank and three fun inflatables and other games.
There may be more activities added by fair time. Kids will get to do everything for a small fee, and adults will also buy a ticket for the evening fun. The poker and bingo will be separate.
Later in the evenings Friday and Saturday, the "Juke Joint Cruisers" will provide dance music, and a beer garden will be set up.
Instead of winding down on Sunday, fair activities will continue in a big way. There will be a Mexican rodeo put on by Roberto Torres of Denver who has worked with the National Western Stock Show Mexican Rodeo.
It will feature beautiful girls with their dancing horses, trick roping, bucking horses and bulls. Torres is also bringing a band for all to enjoy. The beer garden will also be open for Sunday activities.
A full schedule will be coming out soon, and fair board members invite the community to enjoy all of the activities.

The brand has developed revolutionary ingredients that act on the skin cells themselves to repair and rejuvenate the structures that have been damaged due to environmental free radicals and pollution. By addressing the causes of signs of aging, SkinMedica promotes healing and regeneration, which can decrease the chances of rapid aging in the future while simultaneously diminishing the appearance of existing wrinkles and lines.

I'm running 5.0.7 and on my own personal account, I use the salesforce zimlet to login to my salesforce account. I have been manually dragging emails onto the zimlet for awhile. So while I was looking over a user's shoulder today (a user who does not have a salesforce account or uses the zimet), I noticed that when he was in a compose window, he had a button that said "send and add" with a salesforce logo on it.
How come I don't have that button! When I login as him on my machine, I see the button. When I login as me, I don't. But obviously the zimlet is enabled for the entire default cos, so I can't figure out why I don't see it.
Thanks for any help!

Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Vancouver Whitecaps FC is running out of time
in its pursuit of a Western Conference playoff spot, and the team faces a
crucial match against second-place Real Salt Lake at BC Place on Saturday.
The Whitecaps have five games remaining in the season and the club sits four
points out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference at the start of
the weekend.
A five-game winless streak dropped Vancouver down the table and out of a
playoff spot, but Martin Rennie's group rebounded to win 3-0 at Montreal last
weekend, breathing life back into the team's playoff aspirations.
Camilo Sanvezzo scored twice in the win over the Impact, marking his first
goals since Aug. 10 as he came off the bench following an injury absence.
A return to form for Camilo would be a big boost for Vancouver, and it might
just be crucial after fellow forward Kenny Miller sustained an adductor injury
in the win over Montreal, which could open up a spot in the starting lineup.
"Ultimately Kenny and Camilo have scored a lot of goals for us this season,"
Rennie told a Vancouver radio station following the win last weekend. "Playing
the way they were there, there's every chance they can go and add to that and
really put a high number up there.
"These players have done well, and we do rely on them, and today they came
through and made a big difference."
Salt Lake will be trying to snap a two-game losing skid that has dropped the
team two points back of conference leaders Seattle with RSL having played two
more games.
The back-to-back defeats have made winning the Supporters' Shield difficult,
but midfielder Javier Morales feels that now is the time for RSL to simply
focus on improving ahead of the postseason.
"It's a little bit hard," Morales said of RSL's chances of winning the
Supporters' Shield. "We have to be realistic. Right now it's going to be
hard. Seattle has more points than us in fewer games than us. Now we have to
focus and improve our soccer and our team. If we want to be in the MLS Cup we
have a lot of work."
Part of that work will involve rediscovering the scoring touch that RSL had at
the end of August as the team scored 11 goals in a three-game span.
However, Salt Lake has found the net just once in the last two games, while
the team has struggled to defend set pieces recently as well.
In a 2-1 defeat to San Jose last time out RSL conceded both goals from set
pieces, and head coach Jason Kreis knows his side must improve its
concentration in those situations.
"It's about whether or not you're going to make a play against your mark. It's
about whether you're going to be physically outmuscled by the forward that
you're marking, or whether you're going to take that extra half a second to
nap," Kreis said. "That means he gets behind you, and he's going to have a
chance. For me, we can work on it in training all we want, but in the game it
just comes down to focus and commitment."
There is only three points separating Salt Lake from fifth-place Colorado, so
Kreis and his team must figure out these things quickly.

After years of seeing patients at his well-known practice in New York City, dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross became concerned over the lack of scientifically-researched skin care products on the market. Wanting to provide better options for his patients and people across the world, he set out to design a set of products that could truly heal, nourish and moisturize the skin to transform its appearance and improve the self-confidence and overall lives of people suffering from common skin problems. The Dr. Dennis Gross Treatments line is the culmination of the doctor's hard work and determination.
Safe and effective, the products in the Dr. Dennis Gross Treatments collection feature medicinal elements, vitamins and natural herbal remedies. Each product in the Dr. Dennis Gross Treatments line is meant to alleviate one or more common skin problems, such as dryness, sensitivity, premature aging and acne. The products in the Dr. Dennis Gross Treatments range provide amazing results when used in isolation, but are even more effective when paired with the other revolutionary products available through Dr. Dennis Gross' line of medically-researched skin products.
The Dr. Dennis Gross Treatments collection includes products meant to improve the overall health of the skin on the face and décolletage. Because healthy skin is beautiful skin, the treatments in the line are the perfect solution for the radiant, glowing complexion that you have always longed for.
The Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Hydra-Pure Vitamin C Brightening Serum is like a ray of sunshine for dull, aging skin. The serum contains a powerful 18 percent vitamin C complex that revitalizes the tissue for a more youthful appearance. The antixodiative properties of vitamin C also slow the aging process, limiting the number of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots that form on the face and décolletage. The collagen-stimulating serum helps to restore skin elasticity, which further diminishes all of the signs of aging. The product is designed specifically for nighttime use, so that the nourishing effects of vitamin C can go to work on your face, neck and décolletage while you peacefully rest.
The Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Hydra-Pure Firming Serum travels deep within aging facial tissue to restructure, firm and tone sagging skin. The formula works directly to limit the effects of the collagen-destroying impurities that cause fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, the serum helps stimulate the production of collagen to replenish what has already been lost. The Hydra-Pure Chelating Complex also draws toxic heavy metals out of the skin to purify, while allowing your skin's natural minerals to remain behind and continue to nourish and strengthen.

Hemmingson Honored As "Volunteer of the Year"
(Le Mars) -- During Wednesday evening's Historical Preservation Commission celebration of the downtown district being listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, Le Mars Chamber officials presented Iris Hemmingson with the Le Mars Volunteer of the Year Award.
Hemmingson, serves as the chair person for the Le Mars Historical Preservation Commission. She serves on the Main Street Design Committee which oversees the awarding of the City of Le Mars façade grants. She has been extremely involved in the Main Street program focusing on historic preservation and restoration work of downtown buildings. Iris was involved with the American Legion Club façade restoration work. She knew the importance of preserving the miracle brick on the building and asked the Legion trustees to restore the miracle block brick and leave it exposed on the front of the building. This is the last building in downtown Le Mars that was made from this local brick product and Iris was able to educate the Trustees of the importance of the preservation of the façade. Iris also wrote a grant and received funding for Le Mars to do a year long study on each building in a designated area in downtown Le Mars. This study allowed for Le Mars to make application to the National Park Service requesting listing on the National Registry of Historic Places. Iris put in hundreds of hours doing extensive research on the buildings. With her dedication, Le Mars' downtown is now listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Our congratulations to Iris Hemmingson.

If all we're expecting back is peanuts in exchange for Rondo, better to keep him and stock up on spot shooters and finishers.
Rondo on point, Marshawn Brooks at shooting guard, Jeff Green at small forward, Olynyk at power forward and a rotation of bigs at center, starting with Iverson. Sullinger may not be ready for the opener but you could put in Green at shooting guard and slide Sully in at small forward to get your best 5 on the floor, but you need 6 in today's NBA to be competitive.
This team as constructed is middle of the road or final playoff spot at best, the good news is we have nice contracts and room to move, I know most of you have a woody to trade Rondo, but if he finally grows up, he is easily one of the best players in the NBA.

Through arrangements with Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in west Los Angeles, students may participate in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) program. AFROTC offers a variety of two, three, and four year scholarships, many of which pay the full costs of tuition, books, and fees. Successful completion of as little as four semesters of AFROTC academic classes and leadership laboratories can lead to a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force.
Classes consist of one hour of academics and two hours of laboratory for freshmen and sophomores and three hours of academics and two hours of laboratory for juniors and seniors. The academic hours earned can normally be counted as elective credit toward graduation. All AFROTC classes and laboratories are held on Fridays to better accommodate students commuting from other colleges and universities. Currently, LMU does not charge for the courses and offers cross-town students free parking while attending AFROTC activities. Additionally, AFROTC cadets under scholarship and all juniors and seniors receive a monthly tax-free stipend.
For more information, contact the Loyola Marymount University Department of Aerospace Studies (AFROTC) at (310) 338-2770.

Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri has told an official at the U.S. base in Cuba that he objects to the use of belly chains. The judge has previously said the 47-year-old prisoner does not have to attend his pretrial hearings but the prosecution is challenging that ruling.
A Navy official who was not identified for security reasons said the belly chains are used to move prisoners within Guantanamo but would not have been used to move al-Nashiri to court Tuesday.
