Skip to comments.Live Thread: Barack Obama Presents the State of the Union Civility Sham Wow 9 p.m. EST 1/25/11
Posted on 01/25/2011 3:23:41 PM PST by kristinn
Live from Congress!
It'ssssss.....Barack Obama!
Starring in the State of the Union Civility Sham Wow!
Featuring Joe Biden as Happy Clappy!
And John Boehner as the Angry White Man Who wants to Kill Old People, Take Away a Woman's Right to Choose, Enslave Blacks, Deport All Hispanics, Cut Taxes for the Rich, Starve the Poor, Take Away Their Healthcare and Privatize Social Security and Medicare.
Now that's exactly what I've been trying to say, but don't have enough knowledge in technical terms to explain myself.]
LoL. :-)
OK I didn 't see most of Obama's speech because I was watching the Ohio State-Purdue game. I'd flip over during commercials. I get the impression that Obama was not that impressive. Someone on ABC thought he wasn't that great and Kirsten Powers on FNC sounded disappointed. Even Krathammer on FNC didn't like it and he's been loving Obama lately. I thought Ryan was fine. Juan Williams said the Ryan Roadmap has been ignored by both parties. Is this true? It's pretty much the most serious approach to cutting spending and dealing with the deficit issue. I thought Bachmann was fine but maybe it was just me but I thought she wasn't looking straight at the camera but maybe a little to the right of the camera. But I liked what she had to say.
Is this the problem that's been slowing FR down during high-traffic times for the last several months? In other words, do you think you've found THE problem?
Thank you for all of your work, I'm sure it can be quite frustrating. We appreciate it very much, as we're all a bit addicted to FR ; ) Blessings to you.
Its interesting the CNN was the only one that showed Bachmann's response live.
For those who missed the evening's events (as I did) here's a link to Ryan's response: http://www.shallownation.com/2011/01/24/republican-response-to-state-of-the-union-address-2011-video-paul-ryan-speech-jan-25/
And now FOX has that Susan Ostrich on. What the hell is going on? Enough of this fair and BS stuff.
I lost my sweet Dachshund 13 months ago and he is still remembered. They will always be with you. Read this:
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Speaking of the tv audience of millions. Are ratings for the SOTU published?
Hopefully, so.
She gave good statistical information.
To bad they painted her eyes like uncle festers.
Here is the question I've had on my mind all night, who is the lucky SOB that got to sit next to Kristi Noem tonight. Not that Dem men notice that sort of thing.
Even the loathed Luntz panel could work up no enthusiasm for Obama's speech. They all thought it was a loser... he had 13 Obama voters and 16 Republicans, I think.
Only 5 of the Obama voters were sure or even thought they would vote for him again.
Yes, that was unfortunate. She doesn't normally use that much eye makeup! Didn't keep her from sounding like the most intelligent person of the evening though.
Of course, I missed Ryan's speech. I imagine it was good, too!
Well if nothing else crashing sites says there's sure alot of people going there!
Since his real name if Barry Soetoro....anything he signs is illegal anyway.........guess EVERYTHING this criminal has signed is one big FAT joke.......it is worthless....
Yes, Ryan was very good as well.
Obama was all over the map with platitudes and hopey dreamy stuff.
His efforts and being succinct landed like cotton balls.
His effort at sounding homespun, and funny were met with silence.
Ans Ned Flanders would say: "He suckdidely ucked, but gosh darn it he sure has a nice smile".
If my diagnosis is correct, then yes, this was THE problem. Since making the change to the DB configuration just an hour ago we haven't experienced that issue. Could just be "lucky" but I'm going to say with 90% confidence the issue has been solved.
No..I didn't.
Aw, I'm so sorry. I lost my girl in July. It was very hard, and I understand what you are going through. The pain has lessened, but I still miss her every day.
She is NO Sarah Palin....that is for dare sure...
Yep..and that's what I got on this end when Windows sought a solution. Said your system was not set up to connect with my computer.
That's right. The camera thing can be fixed next time. What she said was great. . . and Ryan. . . and Sarah. . and everyone in the Tsunami. . keep it up! We have just begun to fight!
Obama's poll bump over. Downhill from here on out. . .
At the moment, I'm disgusted with our new congressman from TN, Scott DesJarlais. Just saw him on one of the Nashville news channels and he was talking about how Americans want to see all of them work together.
I just whipped off an email to him saying, "No we don't!!" We want to see them pull out the stops to halt the dems' agenda in its tracks. If they want something, it sure isn't for the good of America.
I have the sinking feeling I'm going to be slamming him the next two years as much as I did Lincoln Davis, who got the boot in November. :-(
The fake president is an embarrassment to our great country! (and doesn't EVEN have a nice smile! LOL)
How did the prom dates work out? :)
Is there a Paul Ryan ping, or am I forced to start one?
the prom date gimmick is utterly childish.......I am embarrassed for them all.
I think Pelosi is behind the barn with Susan Esteritch at the moment. ☺
Congradulations and thank you! We'll be sitting pretty come election time!
It was ridiculous...but I expect that our fake president
didn't like seeing a whole bloc of congress pets sitting
on their hands. Didn't "look good".
I am angry that any Republicans fell for the gimmick. Makes
THEM look weak. We don't need that even when we know some of
them ARE weak!
That's great news. Very good to hear. I guess we'll know for sure the next big news day.
Make me unseeeeeeeeeee!!! :)
There is still a problem somewhere. Every since FreeRepublic crashed back on Jan 5th, 6th, I have not been able to access my FreepMail, Pings nor my Preferences.
I would like to know how this can be fixed?
.......it is worthless....
Unfortunately that's not how the administration sees it and for now they have the reins.
Actually, I think the entire boy/girl/boy/girl seating thing backfired on Ozero.
I thought it would dilute our majority, and it did.
But it REALLY diluted Obama.
I have never seen such a tepid response from the house to a SOTU. The fellow looked weak. This calls for unity looked like a joke.
Glad to hear that. Didn't watch the speech, just had Terry Moran of Nightline on in the background. He was positively tingling over the speech. It was so CIVIL! He dissed Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachmann as being way too negative in their responses to the kindly Obama, and they better watch that in this new era of CIVILITY. There should have been a barf alert at the beginning of Nightline...
Yep....looks weak...IS weak.
And yet, I just read that the polls gave him high marks.
Were they listening with earplugs? Yeesh. They do bend over
for the guy, don't they!
Kieth Olbermann Is hiding in the weeds by the chicken coop watching the entire thing and wondering why he is an outcast. LoL
It is funny that Olbermann doesn't have a platform to comment on this fiasco. LoL
CNN polls are up.
Goebels polling is up.
The DUmmies are in total mourning over his being booted. LOL!
He probably has Helen Thomas out there with him.
It will take the pollsters a while to figure out what we
already know....he didn't say anything. And nothing will change
except the change in our pockets will continue to disappear!
Arghh That's gonna lead to a bender!
...but for who??...THAT is the question! :)
No one liked the guy. He's out of touch with the American people. He proposed new spending and new programs at a time when millions of Americans are out of work? This failed approach to government didn't fix the economy over the last two years its been tried.
The establishment is screwed. And we're supposed to be applaud when this guy calls for socialism? Get real - this was a Max Headroom show tonight!
It is the people that need to wake up.

La Tormenta wins the Etchells Sid Doren
In the Etchells class, the Sidney Doren Memorial Regatta took place January 9-10,2016, hosted by Biscayne Bay Yacht Club. Shannon Bush, sailing with Brad Boston and Curt Oetking on La Tormenta, came out on top with a ten point lead. The three have been racing together for the past three years, and Boston believes they work really well together and most importantly, are able to have a lot of fun which allows for enjoyable regattas. The team has had good events in the past and won smaller events, but this was the first major event they won together. Shannon and her team are always trying to climb the ladder and be faster, which seemed to click this regatta.
Catching up with Brad after the regatta, he explained that their regatta strategy was to capitalize on their boat speed, which Brad claims is incredible. Therefore, they would prioritize a big hole at the start, while trying to be as close to the favored end as possible while avoiding traffic. The Midline boat worked well for La Tormenta and they started there in 3 out of the 4 races such that they seemed to be able to do as they pleased off the line for the first few minutes. Consistency is always a key factor and Brad figures they were able to pull that off by letting their speed get them out of any bad positions and by staying relaxed. The team would get away from the fleet and slowly pick their way through with clear air and clean lanes. To accomplish this speed, they used Doyle's AP-2 Main, VMG bi-radial spinnaker, and alternated between the Marblehead Light Jib (MHL) in lower velocity conditions until two people were on the deck, when they switched to the DCM Jib to hold for the remainder of the time.
When to change sails and settings had been the focus of the last several regattas and during the practice time prior to the Sid Doren. La Tormenta tuned up against Peter Duncan and Jud Smith's team on Raging Rooster, and they both received some help from Moose McClintock on a powerboat. For weather models and forecasting, the team depended on Commanders, Wind Finder, and Sail Flow. Although the models were all slightly different, there was agreement that the wind would trend right, so they were sure to protect the right, especially when dark clouds came in.
We also asked Brad how his success as a five-time Viper 640 North American Champion translated into the Etchells Class. Aside from being accustomed to racing in large fleets, Brad insisted that it was the absolute inverse. The Etchells is a highly technical boat, which doesn't have huge speed changes like a sport boat might, so every little thing matters. It is one of Brad's favorite fleets to race in because the skills he learns from racing Etchells in speed and tuning carry over to all other one design classes. Congratulations La Tormenta on a great win on Biscayne Bay.
Full results can be found here.

J/70 North American Recap
Since the '14 Newport Worlds, where we finished a respectable 9th overall, we set out to improve on that performance and hit the circuit pretty hard over the winter. Starting in the Chesapeake, followed by Tampa, Key West, St. Pete, Miami and Charleston. All were big regattas with plenty of competition and opportunity to improve our speed and technique. During that time, we developed our flatter J6 Radial Jib for the fresher seasonal conditions we encounter on the East Coast. With our heavy air performance improved, we placed 4th overall at Key West without losing our good light air speed we had in Newport. At Charleston race week, we moved up to 3rd overall and topped the Dynasty division; racing both major regattas with my daughter Lindsay, Will Felder and Marc Gauthier. We race at 725 to 740 lbs depending on our team since I'm one of the heaviest drivers in the class at over 100 kilos.
During these travel regattas, we have refined our trimming and tuning techniques for the new J6 Radial jib. Our high clew jib allows us to inhaul the jib to the cabin house nonskid, which powers up the main and generates more helm and point. As the wind speed increases to the 7 to 8 knots max power condition, we start to depower by lowering the traveler toward center line and tension the outhaul all before touching the backstay. We only start using the backstay once the outhaul is tensioned and traveler car is nearing centerline to keep from having too much helm. Managing the correct amount of power while sailing close hauled is crucial for the Main Trimmer and Helmsman.
Jib development prior to La Rochelle Worlds
This summer we raced Africa in our local Fleet 9, only missing one race day during my trip to J/70 worlds in La Rochelle on Peter Duncan's "Relative Obscurity". We tested our current J6 Radial jib design in mid-June with Roller Battens in preparation for the Worlds. The Jib performed very well at the Worlds even though the experimental roller battens showed signs of fatigue by the end of a windy event, but overall performed well – winning the last race of the Worlds to place 7th overall. (The roller batten jibs may have a future in the J/70 once the batten durability improves.)
After returning from the Worlds in July, we made a standard vertical batten version of J6R, which we used to win the competitive J/70 New England Championships during Marblehead Race Week, in a wide range of windspeeds a sea conditions. That was our first win in a sanctioned J/70 championship event since we had started racing in 2013. So we were improving each regatta in 2015 with the NA's fast approaching. Meanwhile Team Hooligan, one of our training partners at the North Americans, won Cleveland Race Week (they placed 7th at NA's using the same main and jib combo as us.) At the end of August, we won the regional ONE Regatta in light air conditions that were a lot like San Diego.
Sail Selection for the North Americans
It's unique to sail a big regatta in a venue where the conditions are so consistently light, but thankfully there was plenty of time to prepare for this. Leading up to September, I got invited to do a two-boat testing session in San Diego with Joel Ronning and his "Catapult" team. Joel had set up a two boat J/70 testing camp in San Diego for the month leading up to the NA's and invited all the top sailmakers in the class to join in for a few days and test their designs at that venue. I couldn't resist that opportunity, since Ronning was second at the Newport Worlds and has been one of the top boats on the circuit since the outset.
From that 2 days of testing on the NA's track we learned our J6R performed just fine even in the light air and was especially quick with crew on the rail. What we also found was that our older Main from the 2014 NA's in Rochester was a bit softer now and provided more power that would be needed for the light air anticipated for NA's. While we came away from the New England's with a win, I felt like for us to be competitive at our weight range in light air, we would need a better downrange soaking kite if we were going to have a shot at the podium.
After returning from the San Diego testing session, we raced in our fleet on Labor Day weekend in perfect San Diego light air and had great upwind speed versus our competitive fleet; but of more significance, we tested a refined early VMG design from 2013 that had always been a good light air spinnaker. We nicknamed it "Billy Baroo" after Judge Smails old wooded putter he used to sink his final putt in Caddyshack. That kite generated the most sheet load and would fly the most eased of any of our kites. That performance difference was generally dismissed and we decided that I was too heavy to be fast downwind. Initially, we dismissed the design because we were also too concerned about its planing ability, but testing a spinnaker's planing performance is not an exact science. There are so many factors when comparing planing performance, that it is hard to prove one kite is clearly better than another in those conditions. One thing was for certain, since I am one of the heaviest skipper in the 70 class, and we would be one of the heavier crews, selecting the best spinnaker would be critical to our success.
We were able to test both days prior to the practice day and final day of measurement. On Monday, we tested inside the bay in very light air with Hooligan and Savasana. On Tuesday, we were able to test on the NA's track with many top boats in 6-8 knots. We had competitive speed upwind, and experimented with different tuning settings to see which one worked best. We found that 2 settings below our base was the best for those conditions, that were unstable 6 to 8 knots. Downwind we swapped between kites to see which we liked better and selected the "Billy Baroo" as our primary kite and AP as our back up. At this point, most of the class has 2 viable spinnakers, and it makes sense to add in a specialized Light Air VMG spinnaker for regattas when you know the breeze is going to be under 10 knots and declare that as your primary spinnaker.
Regatta Strategy
Going into the NA's, we knew that to be among the top boats at the end of the regatta would need good consistent scores and I didn't think any one boat was going to dominate the event. There was plenty of talent in the fleet and with all the races counting, the outcome would come down to the last race. The goal was to be one of those boats with a shot at the title going into that final race.
One thing that cannot be stressed enough that made a difference was having a consistent crew. Will Felder and Marc Gauthier sailed with me for most of the regattas this year, and we worked Victor Diaz in for a number of practice sessions as well. His knowledge with the San Diego venue proved invaluable and allowed all of us to work well together and keep our eyes on the prize throughout the regatta. Having confidence in your crew is essential to coming away from big regattas with a win.
Starting Strategy
The Velocitek ProStart does change the game, since everyone knows where the line is. There are some teams that like to mix it up at the ends of the line, but it is hard to pull off good starts near an end over the course of a 10 to 12 race series. Most of the fleet likes to start near the favored end, or in the case of San Diego near the windward end. If it looked too congested at the weather end with a couple of minutes to go, we would often bail out and move down the line. The times we started in a congested area, we would have been better off moving down the line. If the line was 15 or more degrees favored at the pin, the fleet would move to that end. 10 degree bias seemed to be about the right bias to spread out the fleet across the line.
In a big fleet, we generally do a port approach (unless it is heavy air) and try to get on starboard between 1:30 and 1 minute to go. I still try to approach the line with seconds and meters closely matching during that final minute on starboard. If it's lighter, we have the jib deployed to be able to approach the line at a meter a second ratio and still have some time to scrub off. When it is 8 + knots, we approach with the jib furled, since we can approach at a meter a second ratio with just the main only. In that condition we generally deploy at 30 seconds but even later the windier it gets. Once the jib is deployed, the J/70 accelerates quickly, except in the light conditions. Deploying the jib in fresher conditions too early makes it hard to hold back and protect space to leeward. Any time I find myself with a minute to go and only 30 meters from the line, unless it is very light air, it generally does not end well.

Africa Wins 2015 J/70 North American Championship
Jud Smith, Head of Doyle One Design, sailing with Marc Gauthier, Victor Diaz, and William Felder on Africa, overcame a 15 point deficit on the final day of the J/70 North Americans to take the title in the competitive 50-boat fleet. Smith had sailed consistently through the 4 day event, with only one race outside the top 10 going into the final day, but it was the final two races that moved him from second into first.
Doug Strebel and the Zounds team led for the first thee days of the event, posting all top six scores except for one race yesterday. Tim Healy finished third, a position he had held throughout the four day event.
With light winds and a 2:00pm deadline for the final race start, Smith only had two races to shorten Strebel's 15-point lead. Winds blew at an average of 6-8kts over the racing venue, set up just offshore from Coronado beach. The first race of the day was a four-leg course, with two upwind and two downwind sprints. Smith finished in 9th place, while Strebel fell to the second half of the fleet, finishing in 25th.
In addition to a major change on the scoreboard, Race 9 also had significant changes of its own. John Brigden (Cool Story, Bro) was poised for a top finish after an early lead in the upwind leg, but ultimately fell behind and finished in 14th place. Shannon Bush (Hooligan) and Thomas Bowen (Reach Around) both conceded two places during the second two legs, finishing in 6th and 4th, respectively.
Joel Ronning (Catapult) won Race 9, followed by Jeff Brown (J/70) in 2nd place and Julian Fernandez Neckelmann (Flojito y Cooperando) in 3rd.
Going into the final race of the regatta, a two-point spread separated Smith in 1st from Strebel in 2nd. Since competitors were not eligible for any throw-out scores, every race counted towards the final showdown.
By the time the fleet made it to the first upwind mark, Brad Rodi (Bl!ss) was leading the race with regatta leader Smith just four boats behind. Strebel was well behind the top third of the fleet during the second leg. He finished the race in 18th place, guaranteeing that Smith would take home the title.

Doyle Sails Dominate 2015 Marblehead NOOD Regatta
Marblehead Race Week, now sailed as the Marblehead NOOD Regatta, got underway last week for the 126th running of the regatta with 140 boats competing in 9 different One Design Classes. As is the case in many years, Doyle-powered boats won the majority of the classes at the Marblehead NOOD Regatta, one of the northeast's premier annual One-Design Regattas. Among other highlights, Doyle customers swept the podium in the Rhodes 19, Town Class, and IOD classes, as well as winning the J/70, J/105 at Etchells classes.
In the Rhodes 19 class, the fleet saw one of the most competitive finishes in recent history, with 7 lead changes over the 4 day event and a mere 8 points separated first through sixth. In the end, Jamie Holley, sailing Mankini with his wife Janice for the first three days and then his son Cameron for the final day, took home the win in a tie-breaker. When asked what his favorite part of race week was, Jamie answered, "My family. My wife crewed the first few days, and then my son did the last." Team Mankini was named the overall winner of Race Week for their performance.
Holley and his crew beat out second place co-skippers Ken Cormier and Steve Dalton in an overall points tie because Holley ended with two race wins compared to Cormier's one – both of which he scored in the final two races. "It was a very tough week of sailing," said Holley. "We were only one of two fleets that had to sail all four days. We were 12 points down coming into the last day of sailing, and we pulled through." He added, "There was everything from light air and flat water, to heavy air and high seas. I want to say it takes consistency to win, but we weren't very consistent. There were at times five boats wide round the mark, and sometimes other factors made it a very complicated regatta." Interestingly, in the 33-boat fleet, Holley was the only one to win more than one race, with 10 others each winning one race. Holley was using Doyle's well proven race sails that have been extensively developed in recent years.
In the 23-boat J/70 fleet, Jud Smith and AFRICA put on a dominating performance, much of which Smith attributes to just plain better boat speed, coupled with some strong tactical calls from his wife Cindy. The regatta also doubled as the J/70 New England Championship, and featured some strong competition from as far away as Texas. Winning 5 of the 10 races, Smith felt good in the range of conditions he saw through the three days of racing. "We felt like our upwind boat speed and pointing ability was phenomenal. We've fine tuned the jib design a bit in the last few months to allow us to inhaul better which helps with out height off the line. We were sailing a bit heavy this regatta, so making sure we made our gains upwind was essential to making the whole race work" commented Smith reflecting on the week. At the end of the regatta, he received the Norman E. Cressy Trophy, which is awarded by the Marblehead Racing Association to the skipper who best displays the outstanding performance at Marblehead Race Week as it relates to fleet competitiveness, sportsmanship and overall smart sailing. In addition to Smith, three of the top four Corinthian Teams were using Doyle Sails.
In the J/105 Class, it was Fred deNapoli on Allegro Semplicita who came away with the win after several lead changes. Despite his success in other regattas with his boat, deNapoli had to be pleased with his performance this year, as he previously looked back on his 12 years in the class, remarking "In 2003, I borrowed a J/105 and came in second by a point or two. Last year I again came in second by a point or so. We've always been the bridesmaid, and never the bride." deNapoli was using Doyle's latest Stratis jib design, along with a AP Crosscut Main and Airx 700 Class Spinnaker.
In the Town Class, sailing with one of the largest fleets in recent memory. Berit Solstad came away with a commanding victory over local rival Kelley Braun. After years of dominance in the Town Class, Doyle successful introduced a new mainsail design, which was utilized by Solstad in the victory.
The Etchells fleet, a longtime favorite in Marblehead, was also successful for Doyle One Design's own Tomas Hornos, who came away with the win after winning half of the 8 races. Hornos is a relative newcomer in the Etchells fleet, but has put together a string of impressive performances in the last year.
The Marblehead IOD fleet has always been one of the most photogenic fleets around, with classic boats and matching fleet sails, which make for close racing. This year it was Charlie Richter racing Javelin who came out on top. Doyle has been proud to supply sails to the IOD fleet in Marblehead, among other venues, and has consistently produced top level sails that perform well over the many years that the sails rotate through.

Inaugural J/70 Worlds will feature top Doyle Sailors and Sailmakers
Doyle Sailmakers is proud to be involved in the inaugural J/70 Worlds in Newport, R.I., running from September 8-13 at the New York Yacht Club. Many of our Doyle customers and sailmakers will be competing in this inaugural event. Doyle's One Design team has built sails for many of the competitors and with over 90 boats on the starting line for this event, the starting line will be crowded with numerous world champions in other classes – all vying to be the first J/70 world champion.
The boat has also recently been chosen as Sailing World's 2014 Boat of the Year and is designated as an International Class by ISAF (International Sailing Federation). At only two and half years old but over 600 boats sailing in over 20 countries, Doyle Sailmakers is proud to be one of the premiere one-design sailmakers for the fleet.
Adding to the luster of competing in the inaugural worlds is the fact that many of Doyle's sailmakers will be a part of this event, including 2006 Rolex Yachtsman of the Year Jud Smith, who has been building sails for many Doyle customers in the J/70 fleet as they prepare for this event.
"Although this is the Worlds, at this time it will primarily US Boats being sailed but this will be the regatta to peak for," Smith said. "It will be interesting to see how some of the boats do who are peaking right now. There are some boats who are at the right time to peak and there are certain players who have emerged strong very recently – so this is their time."
Many Doyle customers and sailmakers will be at this event. Peter Duncan, who got into the J/70 class early on, has been training all summer after campaigning his Etchells for most of last year. Sailing USA 49 "Relative Obscurity" he brings along long-time crew Tom Blackwell and has added Mark Ivy and Doyle's own Greg Marie. Earlier this year, Duncan finished 3rd in the 40 boat fleet at Bacardi Miami Sailing Week.
Jud Smith will be sailing with his wife Cindy, Jake Ladow, and Doyle One Design's Will Felder. Earlier this summer, Smith won the J/70 class at the Marblehead NOOD regatta.
Doyle CFD's Tyler Doyle, who has spent extensive time developing proprietary software to analyze sail shape and boat setup in real time for the J/70, will be sailing with Chris Boulter, Indre Jankeviciute, and Terra Berlinski on USA 245.
Brad Boston of Doyle Boston (Canada), fresh from winning the Viper 640 North Americans last week, will be racing with team "Hooligan", with skipper Tres Sheehan, Curtis Florence and Lindsay Bartal.
Mark Ploch of Doyle City Island in New York will be racing his USA 61 "Sugar Daddy" with Mark Foster, Rob Fear and Tomas Hornos from Doyle One Design.
We are looking forward to a very exciting and successful regatta.
Full regatta information can be found here.
Jud Smith Preparing for the 2014 Etchells World Championships
Starting Gun – The Etchells Worlds and a Conversation with Jud Smith
We caught up with Jud Smith of Marblehead, Mass. at Doyle Sailmakers this past week, as he gets ready for the upcoming Etchells Worlds in Newport, R.I. starting on June 21-28. Smith is a Rolex Yachtsmen of the Year and former Etchells Worlds champion who just so happens to be building many of the sails for the event. He will be racing with his long time team of Peter Duncan and Tom Blackwell. As both sailmaker to other competitors and a competitor himself, we asked Jud to take a moment to give us an overview of the upcoming event – and the state of Etchells' sailing overall.
Q. What is different about this upcoming event in Newport, R.I.?
A. The World's in Newport is going to be a big draw. Canada is close, and it is off-season for the Australians. The World's has become the premier event for Australians and we have John Bertrand here along with many other teams. In 1998, the Etchells Worlds was held in Marblehead, and it was the last time we had 100 -boat strong Etchells Worlds. We are figuring we will have 95 boats on the line for this one. Newport is unique and to have an Etchells Worlds on the east coast is rare. We don't get the Worlds in the US that often and it will be awhile before we have one nearby again (next year's event is in Hong Kong).
Q. With such an international fleet descending on Newport, R.I.; will this be the first time some of these competitors will race against each other?
A. Many of these teams have competed in the Jaguar Series in Miami and that is what we last did as a team before we began pre-worlds races for this event. Most of the major American boats were at the Jaguar series, as well as European and Canadian teams. Many of us have met each other on the race course before this.
["The Jag", as it has come to be known, is a four regatta series, spread out over four weekends between December and March, and brings together many of the best Etchells sailors in the world.]
Q. How important are these winter series like the Jaguar Series to the Etchells fleet?
A. The Jaguar Series has really helped the Etchells fleet and it has been a very popular format. It is more common now that you have to go where the sailing is – and a lot of competitors find it in Miami. The sport has evolved and whereas the summers are short and it is not always easy to get people involved in weekend racing – the competition stretches out over the year. It is so much more migratory.
Q. Will this Etchells Worlds feature a heavier contingent of professional -level sailors or will it include fleet racers from the region as well.
A. What is different about the Etchells is that many of the owners are not pro-sailors but they do have pro teams. The talent pool is incredible so what has changed is that the boats are loaded with talent. It is not like the old days where you could fill in with individuals from the host club. That being said, it is hard for the club sailor to be competitive amidst this caliber of competition. However, for the club racer, they can come and get to sail against the very best in the world and talk and mingle after the racing.
Q. What else is unique about this talented Etchells fleet?
A. Today, the Etchells is not so much a summer racing class but a traveling class. Etchells fleets are not gone, they are just not exactly where they used to be and more competitors take time over the course of a year, and not just weekends in a short summer season, to compete. The Etchells is one of the few keelboat classes that is still vibrant and does enable older sailors to compete. And, as it has evolved into a fleet that is deep with sailing talent, the more mature sailors tend to be the ones that have the resources and the time to race.
Q. As the sailmaker to the sailors, do you think you have any advantage over the other professionals in the fleet?
A. When you are the sailmaker for the event, the process for the customers started a long time ago. The Doyle team boats have been training on weekends in Newport. As a sailmaker, we live and breath this every day. Any advantage I could have had is probably negated by the amount of time I have put into working with our many customers and helping make sure they are up to speed. As much as sailmaking has evolved into being more automated and as such precise, there is still a lot of craftsmanship that our team has put into our sails – its been an exciting but exhausting few weeks leading up to the regatta.
KGB Wins Etchells Mid-Winters; Raging Rooster Clinches Overall Jaguar Cup Win.
Congratulations to Senet Bischoff and his team of Benjamin Kinney and Clay Bischoff, for winning the 2014 Jaguar Mid-Winters, the fourth and final regatta of the 2014 Jaguar Series. KGB had top six finishes in all but two of the seven races sailed over the three days in Biscayne Bay, Miami, FL. The most impressive part of this victory is the team was comprised of all Corinthian sailors competing against many of the top professional teams worldwide.
"In the past, Ben and I treated this as a social endeavor," admitted Bischoff. "We always sailed with a bunch of friends, and had a great time, but we never had a consistent third crew. This year we added my brother Clay, a two time team race world champion and former college sailor of the year, and it's been huge."
"We are an all Corinthian (amateur) team so we don't come in early to practice. We did buy a new set of Doyle sails from Jud Smith, and that has been a big help. Jud is very open and honest in helping us get better. We can send him a photo of our sails and he will respond immediately with tuning advice."
The Mid-Winters concluded the 2014 Jaguar Series and a second congratulations is in order for Peter Duncan and his team, Jud Smith and Tom Blackwell, for winning the 2014 Jaguar Cup after finishing 4th at the Mid-Winters this past weekend! Both teams utilized the new Doyle APG Main, NLM-5 Jib and VMG Spinnaker.
"The Jag", as it has come to be known, is a four regatta series, spread out over four weekends between December and March, and brings together many of the best Etchells sailors in the world. Hosted by Biscayne Bay Yacht Club and Etchells Fleet 20, the series consistently draws fifty or more boats to the good weather and great competition on Biscayne Bay. Teams from USA, Canada, Bermuda, Great Britain, Ireland, Switzerland and Ukraine are preparing for the World Championships to be held in Newport, RI this June.

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, one of the most important dramatists and aesthetic theorists in European literature, was born on 22 January 1729 as the third of twelve sons of Johann Gottfried and Justine Salome Lessing into a humble and deeply religious family in the small town of Kamenz near Dresden (Saxony). His father, a recognized theologian, was the town's Protestant minister, a severe patriarch and a lover of culture. He soon recognized his son's extraordinary intellectual abilities, instructed him at an early age in various areas of knowledge and sent him to the Lateinschule (high school) in Kamenz from 1737-41. At the age of twelve, young Lessing was rather proficient in Latin and Greek, and spoke English and French fluently. H…

http://tinyurl.com/dkmgrkSNIPPET:US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner shocked global markets by revealing that Washington is "quite open" to Chinese proposals for the gradual development of a global reserve currency run by the International Monetary Fund.
Think very carefully.Why would Geithner say that and not a peep out of Congress?
Not sure - what do you think?
Right. Another step in the direction to establishing a world government by controlling the currencies of every nation on the planet.And what better way to do it than via the IMF?These are not your everyday thinkers that you're dealing with.
Phoenix says:"Think very carefully.Why would Geithner say that and not a peep out of Congress?"My head is spinning so fast at the destruction of sanity that I can't think straight. Please, tell us what it is you think "why."
and, at the press conference Tuesday, the question was asked of Prez Barry and he said he sees no need for a global currency.that is bogus.

For big families, big challenges and the toughest driving conditions, the capability and confidence of a full-size SUV aren't a luxury. They're a necessity.

US Airways, pursuing a possible merger with bankrupt American Airlines, is seeking to convince American's creditors that a combined company would be more profitable than a stand-alone American, US Airways chairman Doug Parker said Wednesday.
"We are eager to demonstrate to the creditors of [American parent] AMR that our plan would result in higher returns than the AMR stand-alone strategy would," Parker said during an earnings conference call with industry analysts. Cost savings and additional revenue would produce $1.2 billion a year more for a merged company than for a go-it-alone American, he said.
On Friday, three major American Airlines labor unions, representing more than 50,000 pilots, flight attendants, and mechanics, announced their support for a merger. The unions have three seats on the nine-member, unsecured-creditors committee in the bankruptcy process, and support from two additional members would give US Airways, the dominant carrier at Philadelphia International Airport, the backing of the majority of the panel.

Scott Pera is in his third season as associate head coach at Rice.
Prior to joining the Owls, Pera spent two seasons at Penn, where he saw the squad lead the Ivy League in assists in 2013-14 after ranking second in the league in assists and tops in field goal percentage defense the season before. He was named the top assistant in the Ivy League and No. 19 nationally among low-to-mid-major programs by Basketball Times in 2013 and '14.
For the Quakers, Pera also played an extensive role in recruiting, player development and game preparations. Penn notched wins against league front-runners Harvard and Princeton during his tenure under head coach Jerome Allen.
Pera previously spent six years on staff at Arizona State under head coach Herb Sendek. He began as Director of Operations in the 2006-07 campaign but was quickly promoted to a full-time assistant coaching position in 2007 and added the title of recruiting coordinator just one year later in 2008.
The Sun Devils averaged 18.0 wins per season with Pera on staff as an assistant coach, including three 20-win campaigns and an at-large bid to the 2009 NCAA Tournament and two NIT appearances (2008 and '10).
While at Arizona State, Pera recruited many successful players to Tempe, including NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist James Harden, who Pera had previously coached at Artesia High School. He also recruited ASU career games played, assists and free throw percentage record holder Derek Glasser from Artesia.
Pera served as the head coach at Artesia from 2000-06, including the 2006 state title with a 33-1 record. He was named the Los Angeles Times and Long Beach Press Telegram Southern California Coach of the Year in 2003 and `06, and the CIF Division III AA and SCIBCA Division III AA Coach of the Year the same seasons. He led his prep teams to seven league championships, two CIF Southern Section Division III championships, three 30-win seasons, a 102-9 record in home games and a 38-12 mark in the playoffs. While at Artesia, Pera also taught history (2000-02) and physical education (2005-06) in addition to serving as the athletic director from 2002-05.
Prior to his time in Southern California, Pera coached Annville-Cleona High School from 1995-2000, where he led the squad to the Pennsylvania state title with a 30-3 mark in 1999. In 11 seasons as a high school head coach, he posted a 258-65 overall record. His 2006 Artesia team was ranked second in the nation by Sports Illustrated, sixth by USA Today, and earned the top ranking from MaxPreps.com.
He was the Lancaster/Lebanon League "PA Coach of the Year" that season and earned the same honor from the Lebanon Daily News. He taught sixth grade in Palmyra from 1993-95 and in Annville from 1995-2000. He also served as an assistant coach at Elizabethtown College from 1992-93.
Pera graduated with a degree from Penn State's Harrisburg campus in 1989. He and his wife, Alyssa, have two daughters, Sydney and Brynn.

Charlie Daniels Band
A talented and showy fiddler, Charlie Daniels and his band fuse hardcore country with a hard-edged Southern rock boogie and blues. The group -- which has had a rotating cast of musicians over the years -- has always been known for their instrumental dexterity, but they were also notorious for their down-home, good-old boy attitude; in the early '80s they became a virtual symbol of conservative country values. Daniels and his band experienced the height of their popularity at the end of the '70s and early '80s, but they remained a popular concert attraction well into the '90s. Daniels was born and raised in North Carolina, playing fiddle and guitar in several bands during his teenage years. At the age of 21, he decided become a professional musician, assembling an instrumental rock & roll combo called the Jaguars. The group landed a recording session for Epic Records in 1959 with Bob Johnson, who would later become Columbia Records' leading folk and country producer. The record didn't receive much attention, but the band continued to play and Daniels continued to write songs. One of his originals, "It Hurts Me," was recorded by Elvis Presley in 1963. By the late '60s, it had become clear that the Jaguars weren't going to hit the big time, so Johnson recommended to Daniels that he move to Nashville to become a session musician. Daniels followed the advice and became one of the most popular fiddlers in Nashville. He played on several Bob Dylan albums -- Nashville Skyline, Self Portrait, New Morning, and Dylan -- as well as Ringo Starr's 1970 record Beaucoups of Blues. He also became part of Leonard Cohen's touring band in the late '60s and produced the Youngbloods' Elephant Mountain album around the same time. Daniels cut an album for Capitol Records in the early '70s which was ignored. In 1972, he formed the Charlie Daniels Band, using the Southern rock of the Allman Brothers as a blueprint. The band comprised Daniels (lead guitar, vocals, fiddle), lead guitarist Don Murray, bassist Charlie Hayward, drummer James W. Marshal, and keyboardist Joe DiGregorio. The formula worked, and in 1973 they had a minor hit with "Uneasy Rider," which was released on Kama Sutra Records. In 1974, they released Fire on the Mountain, which became a gold record within months of its release; the album would eventually go platinum. Its successor, 1975's Nightrider, did even better, thanks to the Top 40 country hit "Texas." Saddle Tramp, released in 1976, became his first country Top 10 album, going gold. Throughout the mid-'70s, the Charlie Daniels Band pursued a Southern rock direction. They were moderately successful, but they never had a breakthrough hit either on the pop or country charts. By the late '70s, Daniels sensed that the audience for Southern rock was evaporating, so he refashioned the band as a more straightforward country band. The change paid off in 1979 when the single "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" became a number one hit, crossing over into the pop charts, where it hit number three. The song was named the Country Music Association's Single of the Year and helped its accompanying album, Million Mile Reflections, become a multi-platinum success. Daniels wasn't able to follow "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" with another blockbuster single on the country charts, ironically, but he had several rock crossover successes in the years following the success of Million Mile Reflections: Full Moon (1980) went platinum and Windows (1982) went gold. Although he continued to sell respectably throughout the '80s, he didn't have a big hit until 1989's Simple Man, which went gold. In the '90s, his records failed to chart well, although he remained a popular concert draw. Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Local fire departments see funding decline
Both the Tunica Fire Department, which offers fire protection to approximately two-thirds of Tunica County and the town of Tunica, and North Tunica Fire Department, which covers the rest of the county, will receive less funding in the next fiscal year due to a decrease in the assessed value of county property.
According to town officials, Tunica County assesses a quarter mill tax for fire protection. In years past, that quarter mill of tax proceeds went solely to the Tunica Fire Department. Then, 15 years ago, the North Tunica Fire Protection District was created to serve North Tunica County, including local casino resorts and apartment complexes. That quarter mill began to be split 80-20 between TFD and the North Tunica department.

Our Spoons Came from Woolworths
October 28, 2015 | by Emily Gould
Barbara Comyns's daring depiction of childbirth.
Some books need no introduction because they're better if you don't know what to expect, and it occurs to me that Our Spoons Came from Woolworths might be one of those books. Certainly I wasn't prepared for it the first time I read it, and I don't think I noticed the first time its tone abruptly shifted from lighthearted and twee to something more like horror. But then it happened again, and I started to pay closer attention. The book revealed itself to be darker and more complex than its premise—young artists secretly marry and begin to feather a bohemian nest in 1930s London, with pet newts and layaway-plan furniture and inexpensive cutlery—seems to promise. A clue to its nature is in a note on the copyright page: "The only things that are true in this story are the wedding and Chapters 10, 11 and 12 and the poverty." Read More »
The Honeymoon Package
October 13, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
She said that my good qualities were my bad qualities—this I have come to realize is true of everyone. On the one hand, I was game, eager and perfectly ready to see what was in front of me. On the other hand, I had no sense of direction or destiny. —Laurie Colwin
Those of us without a sense of direction have never known anything else; its absence is more annoying to others than to us. Actually, to us it seems normal to be marooned in a mysterious landscape, reliant on technology, at the mercy of others. Maps are of course inscrutable; they depend on an essential understanding of space. It is interesting, and sometimes enviable, that other people should have an internal compass. But also strange, and maybe even sinister. How do they know? Read More »
Time Wasted
September 18, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
When we got married, my husband and I knew we didn't want to do anything elaborate: we had neither the money nor the inclination and, in any case, we wanted to get the wedding over with and begin the marriage. (Proper weddings, as any bridal magazine will tell you, take months of preparation.) So: we agreed on a date, got our license, I bought a suit, and we went to City Hall with our siblings and our two dearest friends.
After the ceremony, we took the subway uptown and met our families for lunch. I'd booked the upstairs dining room of a venerable French restaurant because I knew the food would be good, and everyone would feel comfortable. Like everything else about the wedding, I must admit I didn't give it too much thought; I knew the day would be nice no matter what and, for my life's sake, very much hoped it would not be the most important.

My Day
August 5, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
The Broadway Melody of 1929 won the Oscar for best picture. The highest-grossing film of the year, it was the first all-talk musical, and MGM's first musical, period. It contained a groundbreaking Technicolor sequence.
Even if you're not a cinephile, the film's a great, pre-Code watch. While the acting is certainly dated, and the story somewhat melodramatic and lurid—it centers around a sister-act love triangle—it's an emotionally and visually satisfying spectacle. Read More »
Husbands and Wives
August 3, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
One soon learns the point of a modern honeymoon. In this day and age, when most couples don't need the time to become acquainted, it can seem like pure indulgence: a well-earned rest after the interpersonal stresses of wedding planning, and the rare chance to see each other without the intrusion of family and social demands. All very wholesome, I'm sure—but not lasting.
Long after you're home and your muscles have reclenched with tension and those lotus-eating vacation days feel like a hazy memory, you will carry with you the honeymoon's true legacy. (I don't mean a baby, by the way—though that, too, I guess, is a legacy for some.) Because by the end of your honeymoon, be it a week or a month or a day, whether you're in the tropics or Niagara Falls or a nearby motel, you will have a husband. Or a wife. Read More »
July 23, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
Here are the things you hear most often when you announce plans to marry someone who happens to have the same last name:
- That's convenient!
- Guess you won't have to change your name!
- Are you changing your name?
- Is he taking your name?
- Are you hyphenating?
- Are you related?
- I bet you're sick of everyone joking about your having the same name!
Not remarking on this seems to be completely out of the question. Read More »

God, I love Top Gun. I've probably seen the film 10 times already, but everytime it's on tv, I can't withstand the urge to watch.
