Since the disposal of old ships is becoming a matter of ever greater controversy, I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to discussing these issues, problems, and news.
To kick it off there is this headline from the ContraCosta Times:
Cleaning of vessels causes pollution, prompts review[indent]For the rest of this story, go to http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/...l/16721550.htmquote:
The U.S. Maritime Administration announced late Friday that it will initiate "a complete and thorough review" of its ship-disposal program after California water regulators concluded that cleaning the hulls of obsolete vessels anchored in Suisun Bay causes pollution.
New tests on two World War II relics found that scrubbing aged hulls of marine growth such as seaweed and barnacles causes copper, zinc, lead and other toxic metals to come off with the organic materials.
There were 74 ships in the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet as of Feb. 1, most of them decommissioned cargo and Navy vessels awaiting disposal. The Coast Guard in June ordered any ship being taken to Texas for disposal to undergo hull cleaning to stop the spread of invasive marine species.
At least four ships were cleaned at docks in Richmond and Alameda last year. The Times reported in September that federal documents showed that sheets of toxic metals came off the bottom of at least one ship and were left in water at the Port of Richmond, prompting a state investigation.
Comment: be sure to check out some of the related stories. There are a lot of old ships at Suisan Bay and their material condition is not improving with each passing day.

Sarah Lawrence College has named its science center for President Emerita Alice Stone Ilchman, who encouraged the growth of science during her years as president from 1981 to 1998 and was chiefly responsible for raising the funds to build the Center.
"Dr. Ilchman's vision for science sparked a campus renaissance that has resulted in the expansion of the curriculum, the creation of new interdisciplinary areas of study, new funds for research, and a lively culture of science and mathematics that has enhanced campus life for all," said Sarah Lawrence President Michele Tolela Myers, in announcing the building's dedication as the Alice Stone Ilchman Science Center.
Since the science center opened in 1994, Sarah Lawrence has been building its faculty and curriculum in mathematics and science—increasing the number of faculty and courses by 30 percent—with significant increases in computer science and physics.
This year five faculty members–four from the sciences (atmospheric chemistry, marine biology and molecular biology) and two from the social sciences—have received, or are in the midst of projects funded by, National Science Foundation grants. More than 20 undergraduate students are currently involved in research as a result of these grants.

US: PVH unites Calvin Klein with $2.9bn Warnaco buy
By Leonie Barrie | 31 October 2012
Clothing maker PVH is to buy rival The Warnaco Group in a cash-and-stock deal worth about $2.9bn that also brings together all Calvin Klein apparel categories in one place for a single vision of the brand.
The move will make PVH will be one of the largest and most profitable global branded lifestyle apparel companies in the world, giving it a combined revenue of more than $8bn.
As well as Tommy Hilfiger - which it bought two years ago for US$3bn - its brand line-up includes Van Heusen, Izod, Arrow, Bass, along with Speedo, Olga and Warner's from Warnaco.
Crucially, though, the deal is a "unique opportunity to reunite the 'House of Calvin Klein' and reinforces our strategy to drive the global growth of Calvin Klein," according to PVH chairman and CEO Emanuel Chirico.
PVH has owned the Calvin Klein brand since 2002, but Warnaco has retained control of the jeans and underwear lines during this time.
"Having direct global control of the two largest apparel categories for Calvin Klein - jeans and underwear - will allow us to unlock additional growth potential of this powerful designer brand across all major product categories, geographies and distribution channels," Chirico added.
The Warnaco Calvin Klein businesses will be moved onto PVH's Calvin Klein platform under the leadership of Calvin Klein's president and CEO Tom Murry.
Helen McCluskey, Warnaco's president and COE, is also expected to join PVH's board of directors following the close of the deal in 2013.
"PVH has a proven track record of successfully integrating acquisitions," Chirico continued.
"We are confident this transaction will create tremendous value for stockholders, as well as provide enhanced opportunities around the world for both companies' respective associates, vendors and other business partners.
"We plan to align Warnaco's established operations in Asia and Latin America with our strong operations in North America and Europe to fuel our growth strategies for both Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger."
PVH expects to save around $100m a year in synergies from the transaction, as well as one-time costs of $175m over three years. It also expects the deal to add $0.35 per share to earnings in the first full year.
The company earlier this month lifted its earnings outlook for the third quarter and full year thanks to the strong performance of its Tommy Hilfiger business in North America and its Calvin Klein brand. And it today reiterated that earnings per share for both periods are set to be "at least at the top end" of its guidance.
Most recently, second quarter profit was up 31.5% to US$87.7m, while underlying revenues increased 4% to $1.337bn.
But Warnaco, on the other hand, has cut its full-year projections after second-quarter profit slumped 79% to US$9.6m.
Sales fell 5% to $563.9m on declines in sportswear and intimate apparel, which the company blamed on challenging market conditions, particularly in the US and Europe. Its woes contributed to a 12% drop in Calvin Klein licensing revenues in Europe during the second-quarter.

Update on JuanaWith her previous Kiva loan, Juana bought men's sweaters, bed sheet sets and towels, and also invested in buying a large quantity of seafood. She was able to sell everything and made a little more income than usual.
Now Juana is gearing up for Easter and needs lots of seafood, as it's the time of year her sales go up. This is because the community celebrates its closeness to Jesus with orations and sacrifices, and keeping with tradition means giving up beef, so people consume more of what Juana sells. Her message to the Kiva lenders is the following: "Thank you for the help I've received so far and may God bless you so you continue to help more people."
Previous Loan DetailsJuana Barón wants to obtain a second Kiva loan. She said that she invested part of her first Kiva loan in shrimp and seafood for sale. In addition, she was able to buy bedding sets that she had on order. Juana needs another Kiva loan because she has new customers who are requesting shrimp, sea... More from Juana's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Fundación Mario Santo DomingoFundación Mario Santo Domingo (FMSD) is a non-profit organization in northern Colombia dedicated to developing programs for the country's poorest communities. In addition to numerous social services, FMSD runs a microfinance program to strengthen micro-businesses in the areas where it works. The organization also offers several non-financial components as part of this program, including training to help entrepreneurs start their own businesses.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Every baby has a hard time when its mommy leaves it alone for the first few times, even if the baby is a duckling and the mommy is a human. These baby ducks, so fluffy and precious they could cuddle in the palm of your hand, begin a protest waiting for mom to return! I would love to babysit these ducklings, even if it's only for the 3 minutes their mother is gone. It would be heaven!
If you loved these baby ducklings as much as me, I guarantee your friends on Facebook will too. SHARE now!

Yes, I've been looking all over for advice on how to do this.
I have an old bicycle from the 40's with a coaster hub (foot brake). Today I crashed it and broke the brake mechanism. I therefore want to fixate the sprocket to the rest of the wheel so that I can use the bike again without brakes, like a fixed gear bicycle.
Any tips on how to do this? I don't know how to weld.

SXSW Review: Heaven Knows What
Dramas do not get much darker than Heaven Knows What -- or more realistic.
Based on the novel Mad Love in New York City by Arielle Holmes, who also stars in the film, Heaven Knows What is bleak from its first horrifying scene. Homeless, heroin-addicted teen Harley (Holmes) is threatening to kill herself, and her emotionally abusive boyfriend Ilya (Caleb Landry Jones) goads her into going through with it. She slashes her wrist, but immediately changes her mind and pleads with Ilya and her homeless friends to call 911.
Harley's desperate act lands her in the psych ward at Bellevue Hospital. True to form, Ilya disappears from her life while she's recovering. Completely alone when she's released, she relies on her friend Skully (underground rapper and cult figure Necro) to help her survive on the streets. But Skully is little better than Ilya; he tells her to forget her useless and noncommittal boyfriend -- something she doesn't want to hear -- and becomes abusive when she rejects his friendship.
SXSW Capsule Reviews: Western, The Ceremony, The Last Man on the Moon, Deep Web
This is turning out to be a very different year for SXSW, as though last year's tragedy marked a turning point where the city and the SXSW staff realized that things had gotten out of hand with too much going on at once with too little control. The result has been in my own observation that downtown seemed practically dead when I arrived Friday to pick up my badge. Strictly limited permitting for outside events and venues in addition to much of the interactive events being relocated away from the convention center have thinned the crowd to manageable levels, though we will see if that persists as the music portion of the fest kicks into gear.
Movies I've seen:
This documentary by brothers Bill and Turner Ross (who premiered Tchoupitoulas at SXSW 2012) covers 13 months in the border city of Eagle Pass during Chad Foster's last term as mayor. Foster gained recognition as an outspoken opponent of the border fence idea.
Much of the film focuses on the lives of ranchers and cattle traders who purchase cattle on the Mexican side of the border and transport them for sale in the US. Eagle Pass is presented as an idyllic locale where the Mexican and American cultures are so intermingled as to be indistinct. Foster, for instance, in his speeches switches between perfectly-accented Spanish and a completely authentic Texan drawl English mid-sentence. As outside political forces close the border and begin to erect walls that threaten their livelihood, the citizens of Eagle Pass struggle to understand the paranoia over drug cartel violence until it reaches their doorstep.
SXSW Review: She's The Best Thing In It
Writer/director Ron Nyswaner once talked to me about how he thought he was considered a "niche writer" in Hollywood. In an interview at the 2013 Austin Film Festival, Nyswaner says, "If you know a story about someone who's been beaten to death with a baseball bat because he was dating a transgender woman, call me. I do those things [stories] really well."
I prepared myself for that same grit when I watched Nyswaner's film She's The Best Thing In It, and was pleased to see that same kind of intensity manifested in a different way.
This film is Nyswaner's directorial debut as a documentary filmmaker. It follows award-winning actress Mary Louise Wilson as she embarks on teaching a college acting class in her hometown of New Orleans. Now in her 70s, Wilson is seen by some as a "has been." Photos and film clips take us through her history of stardom in the 70s, 80s and 90s, but wear off upon present day.
SXSW Review: 6 Years
When I think of Hannah Fidell's style as a filmmaker, I'm reminded of something that Peter Bogdanovich once told a class I took in film school. He said that he believed that films should tell a story in the simplest way. To achieve this, you shouldn't let your audience feel like they're watching something on a screen, but instead be transported to the moments your characters are encountering as if you're right there next to them. This was my constant thought while watching Fidell's latest movie, 6 Years.
The SXSW veteran premiered her second feature this past weekend, just two years after the debut of her critically-acclaimed film A Teacher. Having seen A Teacher back in 2013, I was eager to find out how this latest piece would grab me. A first feature is a great mountain to climb, but a second feature is a different kind of beast. It's when filmmakers start to show their trends, their consistencies and what makes them stand out as storytellers.
The story focuses on the crumbling relationship between college students Dan (Ben Rosenfield) and Mel (Taissa Farmiga). Set in our hometown of Austin, Dan and Mel have a perfectly content relationship until some big life changes start to shift their world views. It feels like a story that's happened to most of us: trying to deal with the plans you make versus the plans life initially has in store for you. It's heartbreaking yet satisfactory to see this kind of story told so well on screen.
SXSW Review: Peace Officer
Sometimes peace is purchased with violence.
-- Salt Lake County Sheriff James Winder, in Peace Officer
William "Dub" Lawrence is the perfect documentary subject. After a long career in law enforcement, he has many stories to tell -- he helped break the Ted Bundy case as a rookie cop, and the failings of criminal justice he saw on the beat inspired his successful run for Sheriff of Davis County, Utah in 1974. Now semi-retired, he works as a private investigator and, curiously, also repairs water and sewage pumps. In his spare time, he flies his private plane.
He's also spent much of his spare time investigating a tragic episode in his life, one that inspired the enraging new documentary Peace Officer: In 2008, the SWAT team he established 30 years earlier killed his son-in-law, Brian Wood, during a standoff at Wood's house.
After physically abusing his wife, Wood retreated to the cab of his pickup and was threatening to kill himself. He was calm and threatened no one else, but when police arrived, the incident quickly escalated as dozens of officers from multiple SWAT teams surrounded the house. They arrived in armored vehicles and even a helicopter, shot out the truck's windows, and the event became a media circus. After many hours, the standoff ended in mayhem -- and Wood ended up dead. The police claimed he committed suicide.
SXSW Review: Manglehorn
Thank you, David Gordon Green, for giving Al Pacino his best role in years.
The eminent actor appears in almost every scene of Green's latest film, Manglehorn, giving Pacino plenty of time to explore the grumpy oddball A.J. Manglehorn's every mood and motivation. Rarely are an actor and role so well matched, as Pacino plays A.J. with a perfect mix of shopworn sadness, vulnerability and simmering anger. (Known for his louder performances --- Sonny in Dog Day Afternoon and Tony Montana in Scarface are only two among many -- Pacino reminds us that he has the range to play much quieter and more sensitive types.)
A.J. is the central figure in a story of loss and regret. An aging locksmith, he spends lonely days in his cluttered shop with few customers. Long divorced, he spends equally lonely nights with his cat. His self-absorbed son, Jacob (Chris Messina), has no time for him, and he rarely sees his granddaughter, Kylie (Skylar Gasper).
In his lonelier moments -- there are many -- A.J. obsesses about a lost love, Clara (Natalie Wilemon). She wasn't his wife and their relationship ended long ago, but Manglehorn tells us little more about her. Whoever Clara is, A.J. remains passionately in love with her; he still writes her letters.
Austin at SXSW 2015: Katie Cokinos Tells a Female Coming-of-Age Story in 'I Dream Too Much'
Director Katie Cokinos brings her feature film I Dream Too Much to SXSW next week. Cokinos, a former Managing Director for Austin Film Society, also wrote the movie about Dora, a recent college grad dealing with a life in flux.
The cast of I Dream Too Much includes such talent as Diane Ladd and Danielle Brooks (Orange Is the New Black) along with the newer face of Eden Brolin, who plays Dora. Austin filmmaker Richard Linklater is executive producer of this movie shot in snowy Saugerties, New York, where Cokinos lives now. She answered some questions for us (via email).
Slackerwood: What inspired the story for I Dream Too Much?
Katie Cokinos: The inspiration for IDTM was my own painful memories of graduating college and not knowing what the hell to do with my life -- but knowing I loved movies. The world seemed huge and I didn't know how to put my passion to use; my life felt like a big unknown. I also had a lot of family pressure to go to law school and I almost did (but it's not a good idea to make a decision based on fear).
Movies This Week: March 13-19, 2015
It's a real barebones week if you're not attending the SXSW Film Festival, which will screen movies around town until Saturday, March 20. Slackerwood will, of course, be featuring daily coverage and reviews. Some area theaters (including the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz, Violet Crown Cinema and The Marchesa) will be closed for regular business while they screen features for festivalgoers. In the case of the Alamo Slaugher Lane and South Lamar, they will still be screening some regular films, but also have a few screens at each location that are devoted entirely to the festival for the first few days. If you're planning to head over to catch a movie that isn't part of the fest, give yourself some extra time for parking and getting yourself through the crowds.
Specialty screenings are not expansive over the next week, but a few Alamo locations are serving up Kid's Club movies in the mornings for families home over Spring Break. Alamo Lakeline has the original 1976 version of Freaky Friday, Alamo Slaughter has The Lego Movie and Alamo Village has Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. Check out the Alamo Drafthouse website for exact showtimes. Tickets for all these shows are $1 and 100 percent of the ticket money will be donated to local charities. Admission is first come, first serve and tickets can only be purchased at the box office on the day of the show.
On that note, if you are a local teacher or school faculty member, you can attend a free movie at any Alamo Drafthouse location from now through March 22. You can choose any movie, except for special events, by bringing your faculty or employee ID to the box office to redeem your free Spring Break ticket.
Review: Cinderella
In director Kenneth Branagh's hands, the movie Cinderella is an uninspired retelling of the famous folktale accompanied by sumptuous set design and lush, technicolor costuming. From the Renoir-inspired setting of the opening scene to the disappointing finale, the film is pretty to look at but empty of any real depth or feeling.
Young Cinderella (Lily James, Downton Abbey) is born to an adoring, yet soon ailing mother (Hayley Atwell, Agent Carter). Her father, played by an unrecognizable Ben Chaplin (The Truth About Cats & Dogs), is a mercer, I think? After her mother's death, he marries brusque widow Lady Tremaine (Cate Blanchett, wasted in this role but absolutely pulling off some amazing outfits).
As in the animated Disney original, Cinderella talks to animals. Mice and lizards in this movie are digitized out the wazoo, which is funny yet off-putting. Her stepmother has a cat named Lucifer. Her stepsisters are named Anastasia (Holiday Grainger, Jane Eyre) and Drizella (Sophie McShera, also from Downton Abbey).
Box-Office Alternatives: Dead Again
I've always found Kenneth Branagh's directorial career to be one of the most wildly unpredictable and diverse of any filmmaker around. Each project he takes on yields impressive and fascinating results. Who else could successfully pull off the Shakespearean power of Henry V (1989), the heart and terror of Frankenstein (1994), the comedic charm of A Midwinter's Tale (1995) ... and the operatic comic-book action of Thor (2011)?
This week, Branagh adds yet another footnote to an already remarkable directing career with his live-action feature adaptation of the classic fairytale Cinderella (2015), starring Cate Blanchett and Helena Bonham Carter. Knowing Branagh's respectful approach to well-known material, not to mention a collection of positive reviews and solid audience interest, Cinderella will no doubt turn into another cinematic victory for the actor/director.
With the release of Cinderella this week, I couldn't resist the opportunity to write about my favorite Branagh film, Dead Again (1991). Made on the heels of his triumph with Henry V, and released at a time when the early nineties neo-noir genre was at its peak, Branagh directed and starred with then-wife Emma Thompson in this stylish thriller about romance and murder.

Anyways, with a TV this wide, it was SO hard to find a credenza long enough to make the scale look proportionate. We thought about mounting the TV on the wall, but we are renting this place and the last thing we want to do is drill holes in walls.
We found a set of 3 chest-like pieces on the cheap. Two of them have doors and shelves and the other one is a bookshelf. They were UGLY to begin with but I liked the clean lines and faux bamboo trim on them. We quickly realized when pushed together they looked seamless and also became 108" long. PERFECT!
After lots and lots of sanding, priming and high gloss paint, I think we got what we were hoping for. The best thing about these being a set of three is I can easily use them as bedside chests when we purchase a house in the future.

Rhodes beats Key for Oklahoma County Court Clerk
Administrative experience trumped political experience in the Republican primary runoff for Oklahoma County court clerk.
Tim Rhodes trounced his opponent, Charles Key. The final vote count was 9,020-6,102.
No Democrat filed for the seat, and so Rhodes will take over as clerk on Jan. 1.
It's an office with which he is familiar, having worked 15 years as second-in-charge under Oklahoma County Court Clerk Patricia Presley, who is retiring.
Rhodes, 55, campaigned on a platform of administrative experience, saying from the outset that he wanted to use the position to continue the work initiated during Presley's reign — using technology and proactive thinking to provide court services with less staff and with less funding.
On Tuesday, with the support of county voters in his favor, he again stood by that promise.
"There's nothing else to do but to continue the work that we've been doing, and it's a continual effort to try and do better," he said, speaking from the Oklahoma City restaurant where he gathered with supporters. "We're going to see the current projects through to completion and do our best to provide support to our third branch of government."
Early on, it appeared the race would be closer. In fact, Rhodes and Key were neck and neck after the five-way primary in June.
Key, a nine-term member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, had name recognition in his favor.
The 58-year-old, who is term-limited from seeking re-election to the House, also had more experience in politicking. He accused Rhodes of being a spend-happy liberal in Republican's clothing and promised he would use his position on the county budget board to fight new taxes and spending.
Rhodes, more restrained in his campaign, gently reminded voters that Key advocated a half-million grand jury inquiry into the Oklahoma City bombing on the backs of state taxpayers. After the bombing, Key said he thought the government had prior knowledge of the attack.
Rhodes said the clerk's position is an administrative one, and that his experience in the office was more important than Key's political experience. And in the end, he brought in more political endorsements.
"We've very, very pleased," he said on Tuesday. "We worked hard, and we think the voters heard our message. Fairness and impartiality, doing a good competent job, being good stewards — I think those are all of our themes and I'm really please and gratified the voters of Oklahoma County heard that and responded."
Del City OKs sales tax
Also in Oklahoma County, voters in Del City overwhelmingly approved a sales tax extension, 1,009-289.
The 1.5 cent tax will be used to fund a new library, a female veterans memorial project in Patriot Park, a sports complex, a public works administration building, a number of street repairs and new vehicles for the city's police and public works departments.
The sales tax previously had been used to construct the city's fire and police stations and City Hall. It was set to expire without voter approval.

Christian Benteke was on fire once again, scoring two in the clash and generally showing his powerful potential up front.
Ron Vlaar defended strongly alongside Jores Okore and it was the club captain who headed home the other goal in front of 22,150 fans in B6.

A night out at a music venue in Trinidad, a colonial town so carefully preserved you imagine yourself living in a bygone century. Music runs through the veins of every Cuban and you will find it erupting spontaneously on any street corner.
Getting in tune with the revolution: visiting the Bay of Pigs, Moncada Barracks or Fidel Castro's guerrilla hideout in the Sierra Maestra.
Explore Cuba by car
Go snorkelling off Cuba's Caribbean coast
Cuban home dining experience
Most Memorable Moment: Soaking up Havana - it's an endlessly fascinating place. Closely followed by swimming in the El Nicho falls and snorkelling off Jibacoa
Most Memorable Moment: Seeing so much of Havana and the amazing countryside around Vinales.
All places were well worth visiting for their particular character etc. Our over-riding memory was of the lovely people we met and the sounds and rhythms of Cuba.
Highlights: Our lovely hosts in all the homestays and especially being looked after by Mirtha in Trinidad.
All of it was great. It was amazing to visit cities, mountainous areas and the beach. The Rolling Stones weren't bad either!!
the guides made such a great difference to our underrating of the country. Beautiful and varied country and in a couple of weeks got a real sense of its diversity. The Rolling Stones concert was unforgettable.
Havana music, Vinales cigar plantation & Luis the guide in Cienfuegos
Visiting Trinidad and listening to all the music being played around the city.
Highlight: Wandering around the old town of Havana - great buildings everywhere in various states of repair. Just full of atmosphere. Also the 1950s American cars. I didn't realise just how many there were! Again in all states of repair, but a fantastic sight even to someone who isn't particularly a car buff.
Most Memorable Moment?: The perfect travel arrangements, staying int he homestays, seeing how much things have changed The refurbished Alicia Alonso theatre is amazing and not to be missed.
Highlights: Meeting the local guides and owners of casas particolares, who were unfailingly helpful, friendly and genuinely keen to welcome us to their country. On of the highlights of the trip was probably the transfer in a wonderful red and cream American classic car with a skilful driver (you have to be on Cuban roads!)
Best Bit?: Just the huge contrasts in the country.
Every part of the trip on Cuba. It is an amazing destination. If we had to pick out one part it would be the amazing unspoint scenery.
Highlights: The music/case da la culturas. driving and getting off the beaten track.
Most Memorable Aspect: "our visit in Havana, our visit to Playa Giron, to Trinidad and finally at the Royalton resort. We enjoyed a mixture of luxury, culture, history and natural beauty."
I can honestly say that our trip was fantastic throughout. We found Cuba to be beautiful, fascinating and very welcoming and felt completely looked after by the companies involved. Attention to detail was evident and everything ran extremely smoothly.
Havana..colourful and crumbling...a prince inside paupers clothes, colonial architecture Trinidad..marvellous and whilst it is built on tourism, within 2 blocks of the historic centre you are in another world. Music, music, music..the talent is extraordinary. Food getting better all the time.
Most memorable experiences: Trinidad, the town and evenings full of local music were fantastic
Most memorable experiences: The vibrancy of the music,friendliness of the people and the sheer variety of Landscapes,cities and coastlines. Particular highlights were the 1950's cars,Trinidad and vinales...We would definitely consider travelling with journey Latin America again and the efficiency and organisation of our trip was superb from start to finish. Cuba is a fascinating country to visit and a great destination for families with teenagers. Thank you for a memorable,fun and enriching experience!
Most memorable experiences: Visiting Las Terrazas, exploring Havana, brief stop in Santa Clara, and contact with Cubans along the way
Most memorable experiences: "The self drive itinerary and experience gave us a window into the real Cuba, off the beaten track but never too scary. We were sad to hand the car over in Santiago! We had an amazing trip to Cuba; a lifetime experience. thank you all for making it happen."
Most memorable experiences: "a fantastic thunderstorm while dining in La Habana on Friday night, the waiters bending over backwards to please. Conversations with drivers and guides in Spanish (my mother tongue) about the country and being Cuban. Arriving at Viñales and visiting the tobacco farm. The cobbled streets of Trinidad and music at La Trova. The extra walk we organised at Tope de Collantes and the special cocktail provided for my birthday. Staying in the Village at Ensenachos. Visiting the Che museum and mausoleum. Hearing local musicians jamming in a bar in Havana. The warmth and welcome of everybody we met. Wildlife. Cocktails. Trinidad in general. Music. The stunning beach at Ensenachos."
Most memorable experience: "It had to be La Guarida paladar in Havana, travelling in the vintage cars and also the Casa de la Musica in Trinidad, just sitting outside in the evening."
"With JLA's help, got an excellent choice of locations and accommodation. Really felt that I got to see a lot of the country and a great variety in just 10 days. No way of knowing how the new trade agreement between Cuba and America will pan out (clearly going to be good for the Cuban economy), but it's interesting that everyone I spoke to said there was a tourism influx at a normally quiet period BECAUSE people wanted to see Cuba before it potentially changed, and not necessarily, tourism-wise, for the better."
Most memorable: "The driving around seeing all the towns and villages and their inhabitants. Seeing and understanding how life has progressed since the revolution. We also found the scenery amazing in many parts. Hard to pick out one memorable part as there was so much we enjoyed."
Most memorable experiences: "The PEOPLE - lovely and warm, friendly, positive. The music and the dancing - in streets, in clubs, in bars. Wonderful!"
"Las Terrazas - the hotel, zipwire and natural pools. Also meeting locals during the trip, including picking up hitchhikers. The caribbean sea and beach at Playa Ancon were wonderful."
"The hiking tour above Topes de Collantes lead by Valentine was fantastic. Wonderful sights and sounds lead by an experienced guide with a good sense of humour."
Most memorable experience: "Difficult to choose one! Sunrise boat trip on the Laguna del Tesoro with mist coming off the water and variety of bird life, watching the sun go down behind mogotes in Vinales with a mojito or humming birds flying around while having breakfast in Trinidad. Or even dancing the conga with the rest of the audience at the Buenvista Social Club!...The holiday was fantastic - every place we went to has its own unique character and feel so we felt that we had experienced at least something of what Cuba is about. The contrasts between the way of life in the cities and the countryside were extraordinary - mobile phones, brand name clothes, immaculately manicured and painted nails to a single ox drawn plough. Stunning landscapes and views through to urban decay and piles of rubbish in the streets. It's an experience that we thoroughly enjoyed and won't forget."
"Baracoa was very special."
"Cuba is such a different place that it is hard to pick out an individual experience....Overall, the tour was fantastic. All the guides allocated gave us an excellent description of the area, in each of Havana, Cienfuegos, Santa Clara, Trinidad and Vinales. We used our free time to retrace part of our guided tour, to explore further ourselves, or to enjoy the food and ambience, especially the music and dancing of Cuba! We were warned that the food provided at Homestays (breakfasts and dinners) would be huge, and indeed they were. We were unable to finish any meal because of the quantity! We did a few of our own trips, catching a taxi to the beach in Trinidad, being driven around Havana in a classic car, museum visits and trips on bicycle taxis. We found the people friendly and very helpful."
"Trinidad was our favourite place, closely followed by Cienfuegos. Relaxing at the Hotel Melia Buenavista was wonderful at the end of a packed but well paced tour around the highlights of Cuba."
Most memorable experience: "Sunday morning Masses in Cathedral in Havana and Iglesia Parroquial in Trinidad. Going on the ferry from Havana to Casablanca and walking round the area of the Cabana fort."
"Many happy memories but loved the guided tour of Havana in the vintage car (huge 1953 Ford pink and cream convertible) Also enjoyed walking in the beautiful Vinales valley, it was like travelling back in the past with oxen ploughing and tobacco drying in huge thatched barns. It exceeded my expectations. Great organisation, informative guides, careful and punctual drivers and accommodation in convenient yet quiet locations, near to tourist attractions and restaurants."
"Loads of music. Watching sax player at sunset, Hotel Melia Buenavista, Cayo Santa Maria Buenavista, Cafe Taberna, Christmas Day."

Also enjoyed walking in the beautiful Vinales valley, it was like travelling back in the past with oxen ploughing and tobacco drying in huge thatched barns....It exceeded my expectations. Great organisation, informative guides, careful and punctual drivers and accommodation in convenient yet quiet locations, near to tourist attractions and restaurants."
"There is no one experience that I would single out. What was memorable were the people, their friendliness and helpfulness, and the real feeling of safety everywhere we went - even when the street lighting suddenly failed in the back streets of Trinidad."
Most memorable experience: "Witnessing the culture of Cuba. Seeing the state of buildings, the 50s cars and there really is great music in every bar!"
"We really liked Cuba overall. There is not just one thing but the best included: Private tour in Havana was excellent as the guide was first rate. The town of Trinidad which we just loved. We thought it was really good to stay at a Casa and would recommend that experience for at least one section of a holiday."
"The live music in all the bars, restaurants and on street corners everywhere. We loved the variety of Havana , vinales, Trinidad and the flop on the beach at the end at Cayo Santa Maria."
"We really enjoyed the historical part of our trip ie the walking tour in Havana and our excursions that we arranged from Trinidad. The luxury and relaxation in the all inclusive resort were also good."
"We found Cuba utterly seductive. It is rare to find anywhere still as distinctive. But it is a country for travellers; to go just to the beach is a waste. But if you find beauty in dilapidation and warm to extrovert people; if you have a grain of curiosity in your soul and a twitch of rhythm in your toes, this is a wonderful holiday."
"The fact that Cuba is so far removed from 21st century life - Cubans seem to have an indestructible soul! Music is their Prozac."
"Highlights included dancing and watching dancing in Guantanamo, Santiago and Trinidad. There's music everywhere - it gets inside your head and is wonderful. Also the road trip from Guadalavaca to Baracoa (6.5 hours) was amazing. Beautiful views driving through the mountains."
Most memorable experiences: "Driving around the country seeing beautiful buildings and plants. The music in Bayamo - a special festival. Going to the Granjita near Santiago where Castro planned the 26th July."

This two-in-one antioxidant treatment works by two different mechanisms to help improve the appearance of aging skin both inside and out. Below the surface, a 15% concentration of pure L-Ascorbic Acid helps protect against damaging UVA/UVB rays, prevent premature signs of aging, and stimulate collagen production. On the surface, a 10% concentration of Hydroxy Acids exfoliates to smooth the skin and create a more youthful appearance. C+AHA incorporates both Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid to slough off the rough outer layer of the skin, revealing newer, youthful skin under the surface.
Recommended by my dermatologist about 6 years ago and has saved my skin from breakouts. It has refined the texture of my combination skin and works well as an anti aging agent.
AHA is just great for daily exfoliation. Hope SkinCeuticals does not stop this product, as it ihas been a lifesaver. Still worth the price!
I use this everyday with the Simply Clean cleanser. My skin was always very oily before starting this regimen. My visits to have a Microdermabration have been reduced by half. ( I'm 44 and signs of aging came on quick. This makes a big differerence)
This is by far the best product on the market. It does tingle slightly, but this should be expected. I've tried the C E Ferulic acid (same brand), but this is works much better. My skin is radiant and smooth - well worth the price.
Once in the morning after cleansing, apply 4-5 drops to a dry face, neck, and chest. Follow with a moisturizer and sun block.
Note: L-ascorbic acid will oxidize and darken with time, but will remain effective. May cause a slight tingling sensation.

I suppose this is a kind of physics question, but I've been wondering about it, and I'm no physicist, not by a long shot.
Take two wheel sizes - significantly different but not dramatically, such as 584mm ("650b") and 559mm (26"). Now put a narrow profile tire on the bigger wheel and a wide one (or at least "tall" when viewed from the side) on the smaller one, so that the diameter of the wheels+tires ends up the same or very close. Let's say we pump both tires up to max. pressure so they're pretty rigid; not much distortion where the rubber meets the road.
Will these two wheels now have similar behavior, in terms of acceleration, rolling momentum, etc? That is, have we ended up with the same "effective wheel diameter", or is the rim diameter the sole determinant of those characteristics which are said to be effected by wheel size?
I suppose we should leave rolling weight out of the equation: let's say they end up being the same weight due to rim and tire choices.
I always puzzle over these things but lack the brains and math to figure them out.
