Sailing Schools: St Thomas vs. Tortola?
I'm a sailnet newby and had a question about sailing schools in the virgin islands.
I've been sailing unofficially since I was a kid (but not recently)--and am looking to start sailing 'officially' (get certified) so that I can eventually start chartering with confidence.
I figured I'd learn where I intend to sail, which is the virgin islands. Having never been there, I'm looking at St. Thomas vs. Tortola--are there any recommendations?
Any recommendations on particular schools (or what to look for)?
Thanks for the help.
I started with a sailing course in St Thomas and it was the most fun vacation I've ever been on. It was a combined ASA 101 and 103 class over 8 days of living aboard and sailing around the virgin islands (both US and British, including Tortola). We visited a different island every day, sometimes 2 per day. We'd sail starting early in the morning, arrive somewhere around noon, eat lunch either aboard or ashore, have the "classroom" part of the class (usually ashore in a bar), then swim or whatever, have dinner, explore the island, etc. Some days the "lunch" stop would be early enough that we'd continue sailing to a different anchorage for the night. The school was the Maryland School of Sailing and Seamanship, which runs their summer classes on the Chesapeake and their winter classes out of St Thomas. I highly recommend them. I have no affiliation other than being a satisfied customer.
Back to your request for sailing school recommendations. That is tough. Some schools have really good instructors that do a very good job. Some instructors just suck. I think the particular school has little to do with it. More than a few ASA instructors bounce between companies so you don't always know who you will get. I would modify your quest to look for a reference to a good instructor first and then see about getting a vessel to learn on second. Once an instructor is chosen try and force the school to put it in writing that you will be getting that instructor. Hopefully others will respond that have taken courses with specific instructors.
Here's an alternative suggestion for you.
My wife and I have been sailing our 15' trailer sailboat for about 10 years and this year wanted to get bareboat certification so that we can charter. We went with U.S. Sailing instead of ASA; their curricula are nearly identical. I considered taking a course in the Virgin Islands but opted for Offshore Sailing School's St. Petersburg, Florida location and their Fast Track to Cruising course. The advantages to this approach were that being a less popular destination for sailors than the BVI there were fewer students in our course. In fact for the first portion of the course it was just the two of us and we had the boat and instructor to ourselves and for the live-aboard portion there was just one other student. Also, now when we finally do our first charter in the BVI it will be an entirely recreational trip. We'll be able to go where we want when we want, it will be just us on the boat and we won't have to spend an hour or two each day doing class or exams or MOB drills, we can just have fun.
Our instructor in St. Pete was Rob Gannon. We were very happy and I highly recommend him.
Thanks to all for your comments--I am really looking forward to getting out on the water soon.
Just a quick follow-up question, regarding certifications:
I've read the posts discussing the ASA vs. US Sailing certifications--but building on the comment above from FarCry, I would tend to agree that skills/knowledge speak louder than the name on the top of your certificate.
Based on that, I've decided to sign up for a course based on the ICSO certification (since my intention is bareboat cruising, international waters, etc.)--the question is, what is the general consensus on ICSO training, and will I regret not getting an ASA or US Sailing certification instead?
I figure if I want to start racing, that I could always get a follow-up certification (if needed).
I searched the forum--there doesn't seem to be much discussion on ICSO certifications.
Any thoughts?
I took my family through Fairwinds and was very happy with the experience
Do your homework
It is my understanding that Fairwinds Sailing School has had issues with both ASA and US Sailing so they needed to fabricate their own sailing certification to offer students. I have never heard of ICSO until now and did some research. I would agree with FarCry that the instructor is everything. Do your homework as there are MANY schools out there that don't offer quality even if their website looks impressive. If you desire certs, ASA and US Sailing are practically the same. Maybe start with schools or instructors who have won national awards or something.
I noticed that some classroom activity takes place at noon around a bar.
If this is so, I would question the validity of the school.
I lived in the Virgins as a kid [23]. It has not changed much.
More drugs ,now.. Same crime, booze, and rip offs.
Beautiful area, though.
Something else to consider: I don't know your location, but if you are in close proximity to a reputable school, you could consider taking the course there and using the money you save on flights and whatnot getting to the VIs to save for the planned charter vacation, or start a fund for another charter vacation. As others have said above, this way you arrive down there and really just enjoy yourself, having gotten all of the technical stuff out of the way while still at home and probably having saved some money in the process.
We used Rob Swain Sailing School (Nanny Cay, Tortola) and very much enjoyed it. Our instructor Toddy was good guy and solid on the schooling. It was most definately *not* just a leisurely cruise every day. we drilled and practiced and studied then drilled some more.
I would have no hesitation in making a recommendation about them.
No disclaimers to make...just a satisfied customer. :)
ps- we bareboated for a week the following year also in the BVI. Having a bit of knowledge about the waters from our previous instruction certainly helped to make that first charter a bit less stressful.

does this system also provide potty training techniques? We just got a 6 mo old pom and he is going potty all over.
we take him out numerous times a day, but he prefers to do it in the house

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
What system?
If the dog is peeing in the house, first step is to clean it with a cleaner designed to eliminate pee odor. If the house smells like a bathroom to the dog, they're going to go inside.
Second step is to decrease the dog's freedom. Crate when you can't supervise. Try tethering if you can't supervise either. The dog isn't ready for so much freedom. They earn their freedom by peeing outside.
Third step is to have a set schedule. Always go outside at the same time everyday. Make a note of when your dog usually has to pee or poo. If a dog knows they will have a chance to pee in a bit, they will hold it. If they have no idea when they'll get the chance to relieve themselves, they'll just go.
Lastly, praise your pup right after they do their business outside. If the pup starts to do their business inside, interrupt them and bring them outside to finish. Once finished, praise!

Yipee! I cannot wait! Thank you dustysmomma!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Yipee! I cannot wait! Thank you dustysmomma!
Got my partner! Hope she knows or has an idea of what she may want! I need direction! or I get lost! lol
Lisa B in NC
Quilting is my Happy Thought!
OK!! I HAVE MY PARTNER! Now to figure out what she wants... hmmmmmmmm
Got it! And she has the colors I love to work with. This is will be so fun, I have in my head what I want to make....now just put it to fabric. Going to start tomorrow.
Blocks sent boom water http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
Blocks received http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
Batik blocks swap http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
OK, everyone should have their partners now. If you didn't get one, please let me know as soon as possible. Now get sewing!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot.....
A couple people offered to send room photos if it would help. I have to clean up my room first!
Ok, before I mess up like in the mug rug swap (where we were meant to remain a secret from our swap partner). Am I allowed to contact my swap person to chat, gather more ideas etc or is this swap also a secret?
And Elisabrat the SAHM means "stay at home mother" though I spend more time visiting thrift stores than being the perfect house wife at home lol!
Now to put my thinking hat on and create something pretty for my partner....... happy sewing everyone)
Autism, a different way of thinking.
Kiwi, it's meant to be secret this time. I think I'll do it non-secret next time with the new rules we have though.
So, to help everyone get some ideas for their partners, I pose a question to everyone:
Other than quilting in general, what is your hobby? Do you collect something? Is there something you're utterly fascinated with (butterflies, trains, music)? If someone from here came to visit, what in your home would you want to share with them first that you'd like more of in your home?
This will hopefully spurn a little discussion and give some more ideas!
i am an avid gardener and i love flowers. i grew up on a farm and i loved it, especially the animals; chickens and cows were my favs. I love cats and dogs and i rescue them when i can.
I love old barns and i go to flea markets often. I am big into civil war things and old clothes. anything will be fine.. i use placemats, and table runners all the time. i have no preference as long as the item is not contemporary in design. I am a great fan of westerns. Have fun with whatever you decide! and thank you so much!
Have my partner's name and a few suggestions of what they wish for.
Just went back to my sign up information and reviewed what I posted - partner you shouldn't have any problems figuring out what to make - I put description for each room but wish for you to decide what you would like to make - we are happy and appreciate all handmade items.
We like to garden - both flowers and veggies; fabric budget goes south in the springtime when it's time to buy plants - they get priority. I like to read - Lucas Davenport is my favorite detective; I just finished reading a book about the orphan school in Owatonna MN - interesting and good read. I like to cook and bake, spend time with my friends, go junking (thrift shopping); I'm usually up for new adventures - try and give 100% and if you don't like it don't repeat.
Be good to yourself - do one thing each day that makes you smile.

Beyond Surrender

BeschreibungWhat could be more different from Western culture and convenience than the harsh life of West Africa?
After surrendering to missions in Benin, Barbara Singerman and her family found that the only similarity between themselves and the Beninese was that they all walk upright on two feet and smile.
In the Singerman's new African home, communication was one step above the Dark Ages, most people had never seen ice, and hunters still used crossbows to bring home their evening meal.
Why serve in a place where major diseases stalked their lives, where accomplishing basic, daily tasks caused unthinkable fatigue?
The answer came in the desperate plea of villagers. "Please, come back and tell us more about Jesus." The salvation of these staunch, voodoo-worshiping Africans propelled these American missionaries beyond surrender to bring their adopted people from darkness to light of God's Word.

Where I stayed
Rosalie area...my house(share)!
First of all, I finally 'moved' into my new 'home'...which involved all of packing up my backpack, walking down the mofo hill of a street about 200m and dumping my backpack in my new found home. This area of Brisbane is veryy hilly, similar to San Fran (just cuz of the hills), it's up, down and around..and it's about a 40min walk to the city centre. Moving in and unpacking took aboot a half hour and i was 'settled' in. It's nice to have an acutal bedroom to call my own...i have places to put things, like shelves, not that i have a lot things which becomes even clearer when i have a whole bedroom to place things but it's defo nice. It's been a longgg time since i had a bedroom so i'm definitely appreciating the little things. My new place isn't exactly feeling like home yet as it's always strange going to a new house with new people but give it time
I'm working 2 jobs, 7 days a week for the time being (figure after 8 months of not working i owe it to myself) and see how it goes..both are at restaurants/cafes, waiting on...and one is right down the street from my house..haha. The other i have the pleasure of riding my new found bicycle (rick's old one) to get there..up and down and around the hills.
Saturday night we threw a had a good 'ol north american ho-down..we being me and jingo, the american, we get along fabulously just laugh our asses off and we are both half redneck so naturally a shin-dig was in order. So we introduced rick and lorna and some of their other friends to some of the greats - beer, country music, toe-tapping, ribs, beans, bbq, beer, slaw, kneeslapping, etc. And then sunday the four of us took a drivet to the coast, about half hour away, for a wee walk along the pier and a sit=-own in the park with some fish and chips...lovely. It's quite chilly here still..well for me anyways but considering it's the winter, it is lovely..aboot 20 degrees but well chilly at night. It was a nice day..lovely to get out somewhere.
Alrighty roo...that's me for now..play safe!

I'm confused as to where you think the rip off happened.
Maintenance is a necessary evil. Perhaps you have not been playing long enough, but for a time, Blizzard attempted to skip maintenance as often as possible. The result was lots of lag, and unplayable servers. The weekly time taken away from the players sucks, but it keeps the game running. Lately, we've seen a decent amount of rolling restarts instead of 10+ hour maintenance times. My peak hours ALWAYS fall under the "scheduled" time. I still don't see it as a rip off.
I've had to ticket GMs quite a few times in my time spent on WoW, as well as on many other games. WoW GMs were much more helpful on average, and got to my ticket lots faster than other games' GMs did. It's very easy to say "why don't they hire more people?". I'll tell you why. Generally speaking, they can and will answer your ticket in less than a day (average is looking like 4 hours or so to me). Why would they hire a ton more people when they're usually able to keep up? If you're asking them to investigate your account for some reason, this is a very different situation. No matter how many people they hire, idiots who delete their own characters, or click on keyloggers will always always always outnumber their staff.
I've seen the subliminal message before. While I found it amusing, I feel some of the players who react to that as a conspiracy, need tinfoil hats. You're already playing. You're already giving them money. Clearly, they didn't need subliminal messages to get you there.
If this were a situation where they didn't return an account to you, or you were unfairly banned, I might wonder if you were ripped off. This post lacks any...well...actual rip offs.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I can't use a mortar for the life of me. I always miss with it or just scratch them. Barely got the two kills required for the Support assignment
this is not really nice is it :<
//also not my video
Going on the FP server now, lets get a game going people!
Just had an awesome round on Metro, using M249/Bipod/M145/200rnd belt, sat on the left flank of RU's entrance to B (Past the door by that corner), set it up and all of a sudden about 7 people bum-rushed into my line of fire, I couldn't see shit from the muzzleflash as I just held down the fire button and somehow kept racking up kills
...Because we can't talk to each other :(
In pub games anyway, vent and teamspeak are excluded
Can you gift people stuff on Origin? like B2K pack?
Well I just got BF3 for the PC
I had it for the PS3 on launch because my PC wasn't good enough, but I upgraded my PC about a month ago and today I traded in some PS3 games I didn't play and I got BF3 for $40 at gamestop. Did I mention it's a limited edition game... they still had Limited Edition copies at gamestop
Will be fun to play with my friends on the PC finally.
[h2]AT ALL THE FUCKERS USING MORTARS, M320s, AND USAS12 FRAG ON METRO[/h2]
Plus it's not like you totally can't engage them in a way their weapon isn't designed to fight.
Meanwhile, on the fp server.
You guys know how near the ticket hall's flag there are the escalators with the stairs next to them where all the US pile up and with that little piece of wall that is usually blown up where all the russians are and so on...
The US usually shoots grenades up the escalators to hit the people camping by its sides.
Can someone tell me how the hell does buckshot for the m320 hit me when its shot from the bottom of the escalators to (maybe) the ceiling on the top of them where that little machine where people like to camp, and ends up killing me when I'm right next to the wall and nowhere near the projection blast of the damn thing?
Exploding buckshot? Or better yet, curving buckshot Wanted style?
(hope you guys get where the hell I am and where the hell the guy was shooting me from, he was basically near the trains at the bottom of the escalators, shooting upwards)
that was a good match
I'm finding it difficult as hell to get the 50 suppressions for the MG36; I keep killing my targets
I was thinking it would cool to play a map for 1 round and then the next map would be different and also 1 round but then the map after that would be the previous map but round 2. I don't think it's possible really because people could end up on the same team again but it would be better than the same map twice.
They need to release mod tools. I need custom maps.
This just in! I suck at piloting!
Destructible buildings are fun. Wish there were more of them and there was a "destruction kills" stat like in BC2.
Could anyone who's played both the PS3 and PC versions give a little account of how the two stack up?
It's obvious to me that depending on your PC specs, the graphics could either be better or worse, but what about the community? Do people play it like COWWADOOTY more on the PC version (e.g. running around with 12G Frag USAS12, spamming M320's etc) or is it more like that on the PS3 version or vice-versa?
Just a general comparison from someone who's played both would be helpful.
PC has dedicated servers so its already better than console.
Console has bad graphics and is limited to 30 fps. Although a bad PC could run BF3 on Low settings and still reach more than 30fps.
PC has hacks witch is a big negative.
PS3 has VOIP, but who fucking uses mic's on PS3? no one! that's who.
Buy this game on PC and never look back.
Now the only thing is to make this happen!
I'm tired of enemies that will get 9% health while i shoot 1 slug at 2 meters in front of me.
I loved slugs when i played Bad company 2 a long time ago.
Finally those slugs gets in action!
My friend already raged because he didn't want it to have more damage because i kill him everytime with my "Supersoaker" thats what he call it.
Same dude died from my claymores 7 times in a row, I laughed at first but after checking his battlelog page I feel like a dick. He's 62 years old.
I just shot down a jet with a SMAW.
He was slowing down to almost land speed to lay down some fire then buzz off, and I just timed it right.
I sat still for 20 seconds expecting a sniper to ruin my fun.

When the Employment Rights (Dispute Resolution) Act 1998 comes into force later this year, claims by employees will increasingly be hammered out under a more casual regime of dispute resolution.
However, employment lawyers fear that, under the new legislation – designed to speed up and reduce the cost of employment disputes – crucial judicial decisions are going to be made by civil servants not lawyers.
According to the Act, legal officers, who do not have to be legally trained, will be able to determine interlocutory matters such as discovery orders and applications for adjournment, which could directly affect the outcome of cases. These are currently the remit of legally-qualified tribunal chairmen.
Law Society employment law committee chair, David Cockburn, says: "The question is what level of qualification these people will have, and the Law Society believes it should be a solicitor or a barrister, or failing that a law graduate, but definitely not a career civil servant."
Cockburn says equal pay and discrimination cases often depend on the inferences that can be drawn from documents such as minutes of meetings and work statistics. Therefore, the legal officer's decision may mean "the difference between winning and losing".
Barrister and secretary of the Employment Law Bar Association Jennifer Eadie, says: "We know very little about how much training legal officers will have, but their role is potentially very important, because their decision may mean the case has to proceed without the best evidence."
The Lawyer understands the Department for Trade and Industry (DTI) is considering piloting the use of legal officers in the summer.
A DTI spokesman says: "A guidenote to the Act says legal officers will be qualified solicitors and barristers, or Scottish advocates. However, this might not happen and we expect an announcement to clarify this in due course."
But the DTI is yet to decide whether parties will be able to appeal decisions made by legal officers at the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT), or to a tribunal chairman sitting on his or her own.
The Lawyer understands the DTI favours the former, whereas the Employment Tribunal Service is lobbying for the latter.
An appeal direct to the EAT would not only be slower, but would give legal officers equivalent status with tribunal chairmen.
Another issue causing concern is a new arbitration scheme being set up by the Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas). From spring this year, parties involved in unfair dismissal disputes in the Greater London area will be able to choose to go to arbitration under the new scheme.
Acas is currently recruiting arbitrators for the scheme, due to expand into the rest of England, Scotland and Wales by spring 2000, although it is yet to release its regulations for this, which will then have to be laid before parliament by DTI secretary Stephen Byers.
Arbitrators need not be legally-qualified, although the Acas recruitment advert requested "experienced employee relations practitioners [expected to be] drawn mainly from academia, consultancy and those with experience of employment relations, but who are not currently active in trade union or personnel management roles."
There will be no appeal on a point of law from the arbitrator, although parties can appeal against what they claim to be a biased arbitrator, either to the Court of Appeal in England and Wales, or the Court of Session in Scotland.
To succeed, the applicant would have to prove "serious irregularity" causing "substantial injustice" to the parties, and must have raised the issue during the arbitration itself.
Many employment specialists consider tribunals intimidating for clients, over-legalistic and biased towards employers.
National Association of Citizens' Advice Bureaux social policy officer, Sean Roberts, says: "We think the tests for unfair dismissal cases are weighted too heavily in favour of employers, and it is really difficult to win these cases as employers can justify their actions too easily."
Roberts adds: "Employees can't get high enough damages in unfair dismissal cases to provide a disincentive for employers to discourage them from the type of action which gives rise to these claims."
A possible advantage of the new scheme is it uses a test of "fairness" based on the Acas code of practice not on the criteria used by employment tribunals. This counters the traditional criticism of tribunals that they favour the employer's point of view over that of the employee.
Acas head of information, David Mattes, says: "The overall aim of the new scheme is to simplify the process in view of the fact the number of cases going to employment tribunals is going up and up, and they can be expensive and lengthy."
Mattes adds: "Our desire at Acas is to free the scheme from 'legalism'."
However, critics of the new scheme have pointed to the fact that arbitration proceedings will be held in private and that the arbitrator will have no power to compel parties to reveal evidence, although he or she can make inferences from refusal to disclose documents. chair of the Employment Law Committee of the Law Society.
Employment law solicitor, Isabel Manley, a part-time employment tribunal chairman and solicitor at London firm Deighton Guedalla, says: "I am concerned the employee will be at a disadvantage in the Acas scheme since the arbitrator may fail to spot points in law, particularly new European legislation."
Manley adds: "Once a party opts for arbitration they can't opt out again."
The changes could, however, play a vital role in coping with the increasing number of employment disputes.
A report by Government watchdog, the Council on
Tribunals, released earlier this month, predicts an increase of at least 6,000 employment tribunal cases this year, a rise of 7 per cent, due to European working time rules and the impending minimum wage and whistleblower laws.
Employment lawyers have since demanded the Treasury increase funding for employment tribunals to cope with the surge of cases, as reported by The Lawyer (11 January).

MediaTek has just made its first entry into the emerging mobile quad-core chip market with the release of its new MT6589 quad-core system-on-a-chip (SoC), which comes with a fully integrated modem supporting HSPA+ and other standards.
The Taiwanese firm's decision means that it will be taking on the likes of Samsung and Nvidia in one of the hottest new arenas in the chip making industry.
By integrating a modem into its quad-core chip, MediaTek says that it has achieved a notable industry first. The processor has been built based on the same design as ARM's Cortex-A7 technology that is also going to be featured in Qualcomm's soon-to-be-announced quad-core S4 chips.
However, MediaTek may have a considerable advantage over Qualcomm, in that their chips are expected to be ready for use in smartphones as early as the first quarter of next year. Qualcomm's chips meanwhile, are not expected to be commercially available until late 2013.
For smartphone users, the advantages of these chip are obvious: as well as providing a much faster browsing experience, the MT6589 supports 1080p 30fps/30fps low-power video playback and recording, a 13MP camera, and up to a 1,920×1,080 resolution display.
Initial reports of the MT6589's performance seem to be positive too, with Myriam Joire of Engadget benchmarking phones using the processors for the first time – we won't republish her findings, but let's just say that we're mightily impressed with what we've seen. Essentially, the MT6589 can be best described as a slightly faster version of the dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4.
It remains to be seen whether or not the MT6589 will turn up in the US, as MediaTek chips are pretty uncommon outside of Asia, most probably due to patent issues. If it doesn't appear on these shores it will be a bit of a shame, considering the present dearth of quad-core alternatives. Nvidia's Tegra 3 is currently only used in HTC phones, and while the Galaxy SIII sports Samsung's shiny new Exynos 4 Quadchip, that's about all there is.
As always, we'll keep you updated but so far no carriers have announced smartphones using the MT6589 yet.

Three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times foreign affairs columnist and best-selling author Thomas Friedman will speak at the University of Colorado at Boulder on Monday, Feb. 16, at 7:30 p.m. in Macky Auditorium.
Doors for the event will open at 6:45 p.m. CU-Boulder's student-run Distinguished Speakers Board, or DSB, is sponsoring the event.
"The mission of the Distinguished Speakers Board is to bring great minds to the university community, and Thomas L. Friedman certainly qualifies," said Tim Swales, chair of the DSB. "We think this is a great opportunity for everyone on campus, especially students, to increase their understanding of global realities by interacting with perhaps the foremost contemporary thinker on the subject. We are very excited about the visit of Mr. Friedman and look forward to a fascinating evening on Feb. 16."
All seating will be general admission. CU-Boulder students can purchase tickets for $1 at the UMC Connection, located on the first floor of the University Memorial Center. The public can purchase general community tickets for $10 by visiting ticketswest.com, in person at any Denver-area King Soopers and selected City Market stores, or by calling Tickets West at 866-464-2626. Tickets are expected to go on sale at noon on Monday, Feb. 2.
"The visit of Thomas L. Friedman is an unparalleled opportunity for CU students," said DSB secretary Jessica Metzler. "With Mr. Friedman's lecture, DSB is continuing the high standard of excellence we have established in recent years with events that have featured former U.N. General Secretary Kofi Annan, U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and South African Bishop Desmond Tutu."
Friedman will discuss his latest book "Hot, Flat and Crowded: Why We Need A Green Revolution - And How It Can Renew America." After the talk there will be a question-and-answer session, which will be followed by a book signing in the Eaton Humanities Building.
"I think it speaks volumes about our students that they selected Thomas Friedman as this semester's distinguished speaker," said CU-Boulder Chancellor G.P. "Bud" Peterson. "Our student body has a long record of commitment to global issues and a keen understanding of the interconnected world that Mr. Friedman writes about so eloquently. I applaud the Distinguished Speakers Board's selection of Mr. Friedman, and I look forward to welcoming him to the University of Colorado at Boulder for an evening that will truly enrich our community."
Friedman joined The New York Times in 1981 and has served as bureau chief in Beirut and Israel, chief economic correspondent in the Washington, D.C., bureau and chief White House correspondent, before becoming the paper's foreign affairs columnist in 1995. His work has earned him Pulitzer Prizes in 1983, 1988 and 2002.
He has traveled extensively reporting on the Middle East conflict, the end of the Cold War, U.S. domestic politics and foreign policy, international economics and the worldwide impact of terrorism.
Friedman received a bachelor's degree in Mediterranean studies from Brandeis University in 1975, and a master's degree in modern Middle East studies from the University of Oxford in England in 1978. He also is the author of several award-winning and best-selling books including "From Beirut to Jerusalem," "The Lexus and the Olive Tree," "Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11" and "The World is Flat."

return to religion-onlineChristian Music
A conversation with Andrew Lloyd Webber, the prolific and popular British composer who frequently employs religious themes in his work. Lloyd Webber has demonstrated in Requiem that he can also write beautiful serious music in the English choral tradition – while still holding on to his more rock-inspired identity.
Cats appeals to those latent religious impulses through dance and dramatic ritual, interwoven patterns of words and music, archetypal motifs and other intimations of a deeper order at the heart of things. It celebrates with equal intensity the word and body of the world.
The field of contemporary Christian Music is diverse -- ethnically, stylistically and theologically. One can list problems -- triumphalism, commercialism, individualism, a dearth of inclusive language and an uncritical approach to scripture. Such dysfunctions are also endemic to American popular religion today.
It was the note of incarnation that was missing in that contemporary "gospel" concert. The sounds and the technology were the latest, but the heresy was the oldest -- Docetism. Christ was off in heaven, waiting. Resurrection and ascension had completely superseded incarnation.
Turning to music, Trotter provides a challenge to increased openness to diverse forms and styles of music. He provides careful analysis, following Tillich, of what constitutes "religious" music, then suggests that most believers consider that music to be religious with which they are familiar, in both content and style. Unwillingness to be open to new ways of expressing faith seriously restricts the possibilities of growth in our faith.
A biographical sketch of Robert Shaw and his thoughts on music and religion. "Worship is an art . . . in that it has a certain amount of time in which to consider matters of worth."
The classical hymn and choral music people, as well as those loving the good old gospel songs, register their dismay at the level of "pap" in praise-oriented songs and choruses. Yet the mainliners are offering at least some "blending of worship styles," or in larger churches, multiple worship services "cafeteria-style."
Sound patterns are well suited to draw us into God's purposes through music's power and sound patterns. The author discusses music from a Christian perspective.
Explanations of Contemporary Christian music. The author takes a look at the "spiritual adventuring" of a rock band named The Call.
The author challenges us to be brave enough to be moved by a song that's "not our style." Whatever that style, its authenticity should bring us into the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Home mat advantage, Montabella takes first
BLANCHARD — Montabella's wrestling team was the best team at its own invitational Satuday, and they had no problems proving it.
The Mustangs won all five matches they wrestled and allowed a combined 50 points in the wins.
"We've only given up 43 (bonus) points in seven duals, so I'm pretty happy with that," said Montabella wrestling coach Shaun Balhorn. "That means we're staying off our back, we're not giving up cheap bonus points."
The Mustangs (25-4) started out with a 60-15 win over Breckenridge, then knocked off Chippewa Hills 67-3 and Grand Rapids West Catholic 70-9.
The two toughest matches were against Ithaca — a 57-21 win — and Leroy Pine River — a 54-22 win.
"They (Ithaca) have a full roster, they have a young team, in many ways but we're still a pretty young team too," Balhorn said. "We're carried by a lot of sophomores and junior. But I knew they were going to put up some points. We wrestled real well in the lower weights to take those points away from them."
Ithaca finished second at 4-1, with its only loss coming to the host Mustangs.
"They (Pine River) are always scrappy," Balhorn said. "They stay off their back pretty well, they don't give up a lot of pins. That's a testament to their program."
Pine River also gave up five voids in the middle weight classes in the final meet.
Balhorn had a lot of wrestlers win all five of their matches. Joey Durham, Jonny Durham, Logan Burns, Zach Taubitz, Dalton Kuklewski were 5-0.
"I had a lot of undefeated wrestlers because I moved some kids around," Balhorn said.
Balhorn thinks the duals were a good warm-up for the Central Michigan Athletic Conference tournament next Saturday.
"We hope so," he said. "We have a week off now."

Canadian 'King of Ice' sets the stage for curling in Sochi
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Wednesday, February 5, 2014 10:08PM EST
As they prepared for the Sochi Games, Russian Olympic officials made it clear that they don't need help from outsiders.
But among the exceptions is one Canadian expert -- known as "the king" of ice technicians -- who was called in to perfect the Olympic curling rinks.
Hans Wuthrich, a 56-year-old from Gimli, Man., has been grooming ice for 30 years. He is now overseeing a 25-man ice-making crew at the Ice Cube curling centre in Sochi.
Ryan Fry of the Canadian men's curling team says Wuthrich's skills are invaluable.
"What he does to control air flow and temperatures and all that, that's the science that's he's become master of," he said.
For his part, Wuthrich said he's curious to see how interested Russians and international spectators will be in curling events at the Sochi Games. He was the chief ice technician at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver and said the curling stands there used to fill up at 7 a.m.
"I have no idea what it's going to be like in Sochi, whether there's going to be 10 people, 100 people, or 5,000," he said.
Wuthrich has a young Canadian apprentice with him, but he still does all the finessing.
"It's such a treat to play on his ice because there isn't a shot in curling that you can't make on Hans's ice," said Canadian curler Brad Jacobs.
There are high expectations for Canadian curlers at the Sochi Games. The men's team is aiming for a third consecutive gold medal -- and they may feel like they're on home ice thanks to Wuthrich's handiwork.
With a report from CTV's Daniele Hamamdjian in Sochi

Well first off i am 19 years old and i am looking into buying my first car.I frustrated because there are so many choices out there and even tho its my first car i wanna make a good choice. People tell me go for the civics or corollas. I don't wanna go with a simple car that every body else drives.i am looking into a car that would cost me around 4k-6khere are some examples of the car i wanna consider into getting.-Mazda 3 (hatchback preferable but sedan does just fine)-An acura tsx, rsx or tl but its not within my price range.i could get one from a dealer but im going to college soon so i don't wanna get into financing, specially with my low wage job, but if the car is worth it i would consider getting a car from dealer less then 10k.Suggestions, Ideas, or tips would be nice.I like the Mazda 3 because it feels and looks like something different.and i like the Tsx because of its luxury look.
There is a reason that everyone is saying civics/corrollas. For that price range they are the best bang for the buck as far as low maintenance and gas mileage. If you want it to look nicer, get a coupe version instead of a sedan.You need to avert your eyes from luxury until you can actually afford it. Get a cheap honda/toyota/nissan and fix it up bit by bit to make it your own.You can be different. While every other fool goes "I dont want a bland X", you get that car. When they are all breaking down you can charge them for rides.
In your price-range, maintenance is more important than model. Hope your car's 1st buyer has all maintenance records.Invest $100 in an inspection by an independent mechanic/body shop.Manual trannies are cheaper to own/operate/repair...but can be abused by "enthusiasts" who think their compact is a sports car.Take the car for a test drive around town and down the highway.High miles are less an issue than they used to be...high mileage being 15k miles/yr...10-12k/yr would be better but 15k is still okay if you have records of regular preventative maintenance. Good luck...
yeah i was thinking about getting a 2000(around that range) accord and i would like a civic unless is an SI because everybody here in my town drive a civic as a first car. but yeah i would consider other cars Mazda 3 is my aim right now, so i should consider getting a manual transmission instead?and yeah i just need the car to drive and not race or anything. What sould be the limit for the milesi was told if its passed 145k then dont consider buying it.What are your thoughts on the acura Rsx?and yes maintanance is what i look into the most and reliability. thank you for your replies.
I'd go with the Mazda 3 or an accord. Stay away from the many recalls of Toyota. save yourself the headache.
I would definitely have whatever you buy inspected first- especially if you are thinking Mazda 3. They are cute cars, however, they are notorious for transmission issues just over 100,000 miles and it's not a cheap fix.Also do make sure you check the carfax - not everything is listed, but it can save you some headaches.

Buying a old car is a great experience. If you want to get a right car according to your budget, then you can contact at http://www.carsinftworth.com. Carsinftworth provides you a right second hand car which you want as per your choice at very reasonable price.
For your price range 4-5k you may need to consider the Standard transmission. Honestly the price of a good used car has gone up. I am like you I love the Look of the Mazda 3 Hatch unfortunaltely they have their problems. Mazda is not the manufacturer it once was. I have worked for a few different manufacturers and I really believe you are best going with a Corolla. But If you are gonna play style too well than you are gonna slide a little more towards the Honda Civic. All an Acura is, is a pretty Honda that someone else payed out their ass for. Same for Lexus with Toyota. So go to college and get REAL smart and either marry a REALLY RICH guy or become CEO and make bank and buy what you want BUT until than since you are gonna only spend 5k than buy a boring Corolla and use it as you determination to study hard.
Test the car by driving it and check whether all the required document are available for the car...
Truck driving jobs
There are other good reasons to buy a used car:You'll save money on insurance.Bigger bargains are possible for the smart used-car shopper.Used cars are more reliable today than ever before.Some used cars are still covered by the factory warranty.Most new carmakers now sell certified used cars, which include warranties.The history of a used car can be traced easily with its vehicle identification number (VIN) and a vehicle history report.If you buy from a private party, the negotiation process is less stressful.
I heard a lot about http://tcaauto.com/ which provides pre-owned cars, trucks and SUV"s in Hawaii.Has anyone purchased cars from this?
If you've decided to buy a used car, you've already made a smart decision. You can get a car that's almost as good as a brand-new one without paying for the depreciation that wallops new-car buyers as soon as they drive the vehicle off the lot. Even cars that are only a year old are 20-30 percent cheaper than brand-new cars.But there are other good reasons to buy a used car:You'll save money on insurance.

|st: Swor and sample commands
|Thu, 22 May 2003 11:12:51 -0400 (EDT)
Hi, I would like to randomly select (without replacement) 5% of my data, and keep all the data that were not selected. I believe this rules out the Stata "sample" command, because that discards the 95% of observations that were not selected. In other analyses I have used the very useful "swor" command (which allows the option of keeping non-selected observations). However, now I want to randomly select 5% (not an absolute count) of my observations, by an ID variable, so 5% of each ID get selected. Swor seems to only allow an absolute count to be selected. Is there another option that allows me to randomly sample a certain percentage, while keeping all the observations in the dataset? Thanks in advance, -Karoline Mortensen * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The AL-East leading New York Yankees have added some bench depth and a former All-Star hours before the trade deadline. Lance Berkman is likely headed to the Yankees, but the Astros and Yanks are working out the final kinks. Here's the trade in principle:
|Yankees Get:
|Astros Get:
The Astros plan to pay the Yankees $4 million to cover part of Berkman's contract for the rest of this season and the 2011 option on his contract.
The Yanks and Indians also made a deal late Friday, with NY acquiring OF Austin Kearns for next-to-nothing.
|Yankees Get:
|Indians Get:
The Yankees added some outfield depth in acquiring the 30-year-old Kearns, who brings with him a .272 average with eight home runs. He'll give NY a solid right-handed bat to combat lefties.
Berkman, meanwhile, is just another switch-hitter in the Yankees lineup, along with Mark Teixeira, Jorge Posada, and Nick Swisher. He'll likely play some first base and outfield, but mostly as the team's designated hitter. As a DH, Berkman could come alive in Yankee Stadium while not having to break down his body while in the field.
Berkman hasn't had a Berkman-type year, as he has a .245 average with 13 HR and 49 RBI.
The Yankees aren't likely done, and with the Rays acquiring Chad Qualls, the Red Sox may be under the gun to do something.

P arents with children 4 and under are offered Nursery support during the Sunday 9:15 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services.
The Nursery is open Sunday beginning at 9:00 a.m. It closes at 12:30 p.m.
Allergy Alert
The Nursery areas are food and drink free spaces with the exception of water or a bottle provided by a parent.
Finding the Nursery
Parents will find the Nursery located on the second floor of the Parish House adjacent to the Cathedral. Come in the second pair of double doors and climb the steps to the area we call the "Mezzanine." Just around the corner, to the right, are the Cathedral Nurseries.
(Our Nursery is a bit difficult to find. Anyone you see will be glad to walk you to the greeting area.)
The Cathedral Nursery environments are staffed by an amazing team of professional Nursery Ministers. (2-4 caregivers on Sunday)
Two spaces and a "toddler friendly" restroom are dedicated to supporting parents during worship and for occasional parish events.
- Infant to 18 months room
- 18 months – 4 years room
Children of all ages are welcome in all worship services. There are quiet "fidget" and coloring materials available in the Church.
Check In
The Nursery opens on Sunday at 9:00 a.m.
When you arrive, simply sign in your information in the Check-in binder, then write your child's information and cell phone number on a magnetic card. Take the information card to the nursery room and hand it to a nursery worker.
A cell number is very important. This is one of our ways to reach you in the event of an emergency during the service.
Regular Nursery Attenders
Please be sure to fill out the Nursery registration form and give it to a member of the Nursery Staff.
Nursery care is provided on Sundays but not at all church events; however, when it is offered it will be communicated in advance in the bulletin and the website. When using the Nursery at other times simply follow the same check in/out process.

I just got back from praying The Stations of The Cross.<quoted text>
Why are atheists atheists?
I'll let you puzzle over that for I while. I've got to get a move on because I've been trusted to get the prayer books to Linda's by six-thirty o'clock because we will be praying the Stations of the Cross there tonight and I've got to get some gas.
It can be a real good meditation-reflection of my life as well as The Passion of The Lord. I can relate to the three stations where Jesus falls and gets back up again. Good inspiration for me.
Anyway, I was wondering about your parish.
At ours we all get together in the parish hall after the stations and enjoy a communal meatless soup supper.
It's really like a family thing.
Each week a dozen or so ladies get the recipe for the next friday and each makes a gallon or two of soup, then at the hall kitchen the soups are blended together in large pots and kept warm till after services.
Then everybody walks down from the church and joins together with a bowl of soup, good crusty bread and water.
It really tops off a meatless Friday and gives everybody a chance to get to know one another better.
Do you folks do anything like that?
Once while visiting family in St.Louis I discovered their parish had fish frys for Lent. That was the bomb.

Red Baraat
Red Baraat was was founded by dhol player Sunny Jain in 2007. His previous band, the Sunny Jain Collective, included in its lineup future jazz pioneers Vijay Iyer, Rudresh Mahanthappa, and Rez Abbasi. The new group's sound stands in sharp contrast to the more genre-specific SJC brand of carnatic jazz. Red Baraat's instrumentation includes the dhol, other percussion, two trumpets (one of them a bass trumpet), trombone, sousaphone, and baritone and soprano saxophones. The band's first effort was 2008's Chaal Baby, issued on the independent Sinj label. It was followed by relentless national touring that saw the band perform marathon shows at small clubs, the White House, and the Bonnaroo Festival. Red Baraat's second album, Shruggy Ji, was released in January of 2013. ~ Thom Jurek

Obama 2012 team fears voter backlash on gas prices
* Gasoline over $4 a gallon worries White House
* Oil at $125 a barrel could slow U.S. recovery
* Obama campaign fears voter backlash over gas prices
By Tim Reid and Alister Bull
WASHINGTON, April 5 (Reuters) - White House officials are increasingly worried that rising gasoline prices, and disruptions to the global oil supply, threaten not only the fragile U.S. economic recovery but the re-election prospects of President Barack Obama.
White House aides are particularly concerned that if gas prices surpass a national average of $4 a gallon -- and if oil passes $125 a barrel -- the economic and political fallout could dominate next year's presidential campaign and drown out Obama's message of economic recovery.
Publicly, the White House insists the U.S. economy can absorb a significant increase in oil prices. But privately some of Obama's aides concede the potential for voter backlash if prices continue to rise is a real political danger as Obama seeks a second term.
One senior White House official admitted to obsessively monitoring news that could affect the price of oil and said oil prices were tracked inside the West Wing daily. Another said oil prices, and the corresponding increase at the pump, has been preoccupying them for months.
With volatility in the Middle East already pushing the price of gas to a national average of $3.66 a gallon (3.8 l), and U.S. oil to nearly $109 a barrel, a senior administration official said $4 at the pump would be "a very significant number". Continued...

India, Nepal agree to review 1950 friendship treaty
Aug 04 2014 , Kathmandu
not misused by "unscrupulous elements" posing security threats to either side.
"The two Prime Ministers agreed to review, adjust and update the Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1950 and other bilateral agreements," according to a joint statement issued today at the end of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first visit to Nepal.
Prime Minister Modi and his Nepalese counterpart Sushil Koirala welcomed the decision of the Joint Commission to direct the Foreign Secretaries of the two countries to meet and discuss specific proposal to revise the Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1950, which the Government of Nepal agreed to provide at the earliest, the statement said.
"Both sides agreed that the revised treaty should better reflect the current realities and aim to further consolidate and expand the multifaceted and deep rooted relationships in a forward looking manner," it said.
"India wants Nepal to give suggestions so that the issue can be settled once and for all. Prime Minister Modi said we should settle issues like friends," Ministry of External Affairs spokesman Syed Akbaruddin told reporters during a briefing on Modi's meeting with the Nepalese leadership.
Under the provisions of the treaty, Nepalese citizens have enjoyed unparalleled advantages in India, availing the facilities and opportunities on par with Indian citizens.
The treaty enabled Nepal to overcome the disadvantages of being a land-locked country. Overtime, many regimes in Nepal have raised the issue of revision of the treaty.
On the boundary issue, the two prime ministers underlined the need to resolve pending Nepal-India border disputes once and for all. They welcomed the formation of the Boundary Working Group (BWG) to undertake the construction, restoration and repair of boundary pillars including clearance of 'No man's land' and other technical tasks, the statement said.
Both Prime Ministers noted with satisfaction the excellent cooperation on security related matters and directed the competent authorities on both sides to make sure that the open border, which has facilitated movements of people on both sides of the border and has been a unique feature of Nepal-India bilateral relations, is not misused by "unscrupulous elements" posing security threats to either side, it said.

nevermind, i forgot these came in sets...i was thinking he had put it together card by card...ok back to work
