Same class in college. I removed a thread from her shirt one day as we were walking out of class. Now we have 4 kids. ;)
I was introduced to her by her nephew who worked with me.
We met at a party in college, though she had a date. I called her the next day, and we've been married for 33 years.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
I was a service technician, she was my dispatcher. And as my daughter wrote in her first grade story about her family, "My mom always tells my dad where to go".
I have known my beloved bride of 40 years my entire life.
Our parents were best friends for 20 years before either of us was born.
She wouldn't date me in highschool.
Sometimes things just work out.
Gun control is hitting what you aim at
My wife worked with my Mom in the women's dept at Sears. Married 31 years this week.
Met my bride on June 24th in a bar in Dearborn, MI...we were married 71 days later...that was over 37 years ago...

Met my Bride of 21 years on a blind date.
I'm clinging to my guns and religion.
She and I met while working together on a project to recover a B-25 from the bottom of a lake in SC. We were married 13 months later.
Mail Order...or high school. Can't remember which is true and which is the one I just tell my kids.

Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
We were the last two standing after a bar fight.
OK, she called my roommate for tickets to a squaredance, and we got to chatting. But the first story is better.
Met at a C&W bar in Oklahoma. Went to breakfast when they closed, then didn't see or talk to each other for about 3 months. Ran into each other again at the same place. Been togethers every since then. Was 23 years last March.

The Litepanels Micro; Is This The Perfect Fill Light? Page 2
So I got another model, cranked my camera's ISO into the stratosphere, handheld both my camera and the Micro, and went to work. Cool! It was an absolute blast and I got some very unique results. Since the Micro is daylight-balanced, my incandescent modeling lights went very warm after I set a flash white balance for the Micro. I just kept moving the light around until I liked it and fired away. Of course I stayed pretty close to the model because of the power output. I could have also mounted the light on a stand and the camera on a tripod, but I wanted to get a very spontaneous look in the images.
Litepanels is well-known in the video industry for its quality lighting products. With the line blurring daily between video and still photography, many products once designed for one application are now being used for both, as is the case here. Videographers can use this and its more powerful brother, the Mini, as both a main and fill light. I see this product as being very useful for wedding photographers. They can use it in dark receptions to add fill and aid in focusing. It's a great light to use for close-ups of rings, cakes, flowers, and that type of thing. And I know of many wedding shooters who are using small video lights as main lights on location. My one caveat is the price. You have to decide if it will do the job you want for the $300 price tag.

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boysP.J. O'Rourke
Happiness... consists in giving, and in serving others.Henry Drummond
CAPITAL, n. The seat of misgovernment. That which provides the fire, the pot, the dinner, the table and the knife and fork for the anarchist; the part of the repast that himself supplies is the disgrace before meat. _Capital Punishment_, a penalty regarding the justice and expediency of which many worthy persons --including all the assassins --entertain grave misgivings.Ambrose Bierce
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.Kahlil Gibran
If you spend more time asking appropriate questions rather than giving answers or opinions, your listening skills will increase.Brian Koslow
When it comes to giving—some people stop at nothing.Anonymous
the universe operates through dynamic exchange... giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. and in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.Deepak Chopra
..piling up zeros in your bank account, or cars in your driveway, won't in and of itself make you successful. Rather, true success is based on a constant flow of giving and recieving. In fact, if you look up affluence in the dictionary, you'll see its root is a Latin phrase meaning "to flow with abundance". So in order to be truly affluent, you must always let what you have recieved flow back into the world.Russell Simmons
Your most precious, valued possessions and your greatest powers are invisible and intangible. No one can take them. You, and you alone, can give them. You will receive abundance for your givingW. Clement Stone
Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.Dale Carnegie
Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.Henry Van Dyke
A man who gives his children habits of industry provides for them better than by giving them fortune.Richard Whately
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ JesusBible
Sharing knowledge is not about giving people something, or getting something from them. That is only valid for information sharing. Sharing knowledge occurs when people are genuinely interested in helping one another develop new capacities for action; it is about creating learning processes.Peter Senge

Nearly one in four marriages in Saudi Arabia ends in divorce. Of the 105,066 marriage contracts registered in 2005, 24,000 ended in divorce. Civil rights activist, Wajiha al-Howeidar said, "It is impossible to have healthy relationships in Saudi Arabia. The laws have given men full authority while women are deprived of their rights and freedom."
Saudi Arabia is certainly extending greater education to women, but the government refuses to acknowledge that together with education must come opportunities for personal freedom. Saudi Arabia still will not allow women to drive a car. I find it fascinating that so many women in Saudi Arabia will not tolerate being in a marriage in which their rights are denied.

U.S. Court of Appeals Finds in Favor of Cooley Law School
LANSING – AUGUST 6, 2012 – In a decision released today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that the dismissal of former law professor Lynn Branham from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School faculty was proper. Affirming a decision in Cooley's favor by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan in Grand Rapids in 2010, the federal appellate court sitting in Cincinnati found that "Cooley's termination process complies with Michigan and federal law, and Cooley followed the prescribed process."
Branham, then a tenured professor, refused to teach what the district court termed "a normal and contractually permitted set of courses" assigned to her, insisting that she would teach only Criminal Law or Criminal Procedure. Cooley dismissed her after she refused to teach Constitutional Law, a course she had already agreed to teach.
Following a hearing in September 2009, the district court had ordered Cooley to provide Branham with a tenure proceeding in which the school's faculty and board of directors would be asked to concur in Branham's 2006 removal from the faculty by the school's president and dean. Cooley's faculty then voted by an overwhelming margin of more than 4 to 1 to affirm that removal, and Cooley's board of directors unanimously approved the faculty's action. Before the September 2009 hearing, the court had previously rejected claims by Branham that she suffered from a disability, that Cooley violated her rights under the federal Americans With Disabilities Act and a similar Michigan statute, and that Cooley intentionally inflicted emotional distress. "Insubordination necessarily has real consequences in the workplace, even for tenured faculty," the district court had said in entering the judgment in Cooley's favor.
When Branham later questioned the validity of the tenure process and instead sought a jury trial for damages, the Sixth Circuit rejected her contentions, saying that Branham "received the remedy from Cooley, in the form of a hearing and a faculty conference vote on her dismissal, as prescribed by her contract. The faculty conference concurred in her dismissal; the Board of Directors upheld this decision." The court added that, "Because we conclude that the process by which she was removed was lawful, the decision to dismiss Branham is final and binding."
"The Sixth Circuit's decision is a total vindication for Cooley's removal of Branham for refusing to do her job," said James Robb, Cooley's Associate Dean for Development and Alumni Relations and Senior Counsel. "The Sixth Circuit's decision is very important to institutions of higher learning because it confirms that 'tenure' is a contractual concept which takes its meaning only from the language of the particular employment contract and from nothing else. The word 'tenure' itself adds no gloss, contrary to what Branham had urged," Robb said.
"The decision vindicates Cooley's particular good-cause process and reaffirms the long-established principle that institutions of higher education are entitled to manage their own affairs," said Robb. The appellate court stressed that "Where an internal grievance procedure such as Cooley's is in place, and where it is followed, this Court does not have the authority to second-guess Cooley's determination of good cause."
About Cooley Law School: Founded in 1972, the Thomas M. Cooley Law School is a private, nonprofit, independent law school accredited by the American Bar Association and the Higher Learning Commission. Cooley has provided its more than 16,000 graduates with the practical skills necessary for a seamless transition from academia to the real world. Cooley offers its Juris Doctor program, Joint Degree programs, and Master of Laws programs three times a year with enrollment in January, May and September. Cooley Law School has campuses across Michigan in Lansing, Auburn Hills, Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor, and its new campus in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Sydney Weisman's passions include performing and ending homelessness. On Saturday, February 9th, she will combine her work as a homeless advocate with her love of song by performing "Little Miss Broadway at 70" with all proceeds benefiting Home For Good. For more information on this performance, including ticket options, visit sydneysings.eventbrite.com.
What do you love the most about performing?
Gee, I've never actually thought about it. I've been performing for so long, I think it's probably second nature. I'm not sure anyone who performs can express exactly why they want to do it, but the closest I can come is to say it's a lot of fun and I'm thrilled to share wonderful, beautifully written songs. It's actually a privilege that I get to do this.
Who is your favorite performer and why?
Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee. He was the first in popular American music to really understand that the lyrics are the song and give them the weight they are meant to have. Ms. Lee was a consummate musician who also wrote great lyrics, was a uniquely inventive arranger and wonderful story-teller when she sang.
How do you prepare for a big performance?
Well, some of that could be trade secrets, but my musical director, Wayne Peet, and I rehearse for hours on end. That's actually the best part of performing, rehearsing. That's where the real creative elements happen. I've told folks that if I never performed again but rehearsed and got to work with the guys for the fun of it, that'd be ok with me (the guys are our jazz band). Of course, once we had all the material, we'd have to do something with it, so performance is really the gift we get for the rehearsing.
Why are you donating the proceeds from your concert to Home For Good?
We are very close to Home For Good. My husband, David Hamlin, has been on the LA Business Leaders Task Force on Homelessness, they created the Home for Good Campaign. David and I have been involved with the issues of homelessness for many years through our professional lives – if we can help in a small way to change the shameful reputation LA has of being the homeless capital of the country, then "Sydney Sings! Little Miss Broadway at 70" will be all we hoped it will be.

so we did.
we were at my mom's house in the l.a. area for the weekend not too long ago, so we got the directions, checked the hours on facebook, and headed to boyle heights for some hot hot gaming action. it was great! f loved it, the volunteers were charming and funny with all the kids, they really did push the tickets out of the slots caine cut for them at the bottom of each box, and she scored a pretty sweet pink top that lights up when you spin it fast enough. we also got to hang out with caine - he showed f and my mom how to work the air hockey game, and he taught f how to use "the claw" game he'd made (which frustrated f to no end, she just couldn't quite make it work, but that was ok).
that's caine in the turquoise shirt, fixing a game
we each bought a fun pass and we each had way more than $2.00 worth of fun at caine's arcade. afterward we had scrumptious cochinita pibil tacos and hit the free california science center (the same one we grew up calling 'the museum of science and industry'). it was a great day. i don't care what anybody says: i love los angeles.

The New Asylums
This is just a brief post to recommend a documentary for those who haven't seen it yet. It's a Frontline episode called The New Asylums. This is a vivid but balanced story about correctional mental health care and the needs of mentally ill inmates. You can watch it in streaming video at the Frontline web site. I will warn you that Part 2 has a scene of a very ill, out-of-control patient that could be shocking.
Here is an observation from the documentary that I could relate to:
"We release people with two weeks' worth of medication. Yet it appears that it's taking three months for people to actually get an appointment in the community to continue their services … and if they don't have the energy and/or the insight to do that, they're going to fall through the cracks and end up back in some kind of criminal activity," warns Debbie Nixon-Hughes, chief of the mental health bureau of the Ohio Department of Corrections.
Nothing will make you feel so helpless as a former patient who calls from free society to ask how he can pay for his medication. Or who says the clinic won't take him because he has no insurance. The part of the quote I disagree with is the part that says the patient is destined to fall back into criminal activity. I cringe a bit when I hear mental illness and criminality being inextricably linked and inevitable. There's nothing like worsening the stigma of our own patients.

Indian Baseball Falls at Madison County
Madison County comes from behind and sends the Stephens County Indians into the postseason on a losing note.
The Red Raiders scored twice in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Stephens County 5-4 in Danielsville Friday night.
Trailing 4-3, Madison County's Tyler Griffith drew a walk off of Indian pitcher Austin Lord to lead off the bottom of the seventh. After a Bo Hardman single, the Indians committed a throwing error on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Logan Pace, allowing the tying run to score. The Indians then intentionally walked the bases loaded and Ryan Cleveland struck out Austin Dean. But with one out, Elijah Fleming laid down a squeeze bunt to bring home the winning run for Madison County.
Stephens County had fought back from a 3-0 deficit in the first inning to take a 4-3 lead in the top of the sixth when Logan Bell doubled and scored on a misplayed fly ball to left field.
Ryan Cleveland hit his 15th home run for the Indians and scored two runs. Max Thomas also doubled and scored for Stephens County.
Lord took his first loss of the season on the mound for Stephens County after relieving Indian starter Josh Slate. Slate pitched five innings and allowed three runs, all unearned, while striking out eight.
Lee Griffith got the win in relief for Madison County.
The loss drops Stephens County to 18-5 on the season overall and 13-3 in region play. Madison County moves to 9-16 with the win and finishes the region schedule 5-11.
Despite the loss, Stephens County will still host a first-round playoff series next week at the Reservation against an opponent from Region 5-AAAA.

All the treatments were nice and relaxing. I have a physical job, so it was nice to lay back in the dark with the laser on me. However, I followed all the steps, and even exercised more because like I said my job is very physical. I lift heavy stuff all day.
They tell me I lost seven inches and four pounds, but not really sure if I see it or not. Here are my before and afters though. I go back in a week for final measurements. They tell me I lost 2 and a half on my belly which is where I wanted it the most. But I kind of think my befores look smaller in the picture even though I don't feel fatter. So for now I am undecided but I don't have really small belly like I wanted. Kind of feel like a loss of money.

The Electronic Information "Fad"
Well, apparently investors sobered up. At least, that's what these very clear-headed, nicely-dressed experts have been saying. I've been watching them on the tube for a couple of days, a little more concerned than usual about my portfolio which, if not fully Foolish, is nonetheless based on considerations far-removed from Wise. You see, as the Dow cruises to record highs and there is general applause that the market is "broadening," my own stocks are being hammered like bent fenders in a junkyard.
I have spent some time staring at my printout. Cisco. Sun. AOL. EMC. There's more, but why gild the lily? The Wise guys are breathing a sigh of unconcealed relief; their voices have a giddy note. The bubble is bursting a bit, finally, all of those overvalued companies are being brought back to the rest of the pack. Money is simply moving on to other sectors, seemingly with an historically-imperative sense of direction.
I might've even panicked if I hadn't been nearly catatonic with shock.
But then I remembered. I'm not working at becoming a Fool because the Gardners are entertaining fellows any more than I underline my copy of the Gorilla Game because I have an affinity for big, hairy beings (my affinities are my own business, I figure). No. I made most of these investments fully in harmony with my own evolving semi-Foolish, Gorilla-like, approach. And I did so for a reason.
The Internet isn't a fad. Instant electronic information is in the process of utterly changing the planet and all of its inhabitants. It's a bit like we are each one an interesting but semi-isolated planetary brain cell, and that's the way it's been for a long, long time. We have found ways to reach one another through the centuries, but the process always required switching and censoring stations -- sometimes overseen by hostile governments -- until now. Something profound has happened, and somehow, in some way, we've reached critical mass, found the hundredth monkey or whatever it is.
So, no, Cisco, Sun, and the others are not over-valued. The survivors of this new battlefield will have never been overvalued. My investments are perfectly safe, and all I really have to do is enjoy this incredible show. I'm fortunate enough to have the wherewithal to invest in companies that are actually engaged in creating some of the landscape in a new world. A remarkable time to be alive, don't you think?

BVI Moorings Charter - Suggestions?
My wife and I spent our 5th anniversary in BVI via Moorings crewed yacht in August 2001. This of course was low season in which case nobody else booked the boat in a stateroom situation- we had the whole yacht with captain and cook at our disposal! Had the time of our lives!! Cannot say enough wonderful things about The Moorings. Highly reccomend them. Dave.
BVI Moorings Charter - Suggestions?
Moorings is a great company. I delivered new hulls to them for a few years. Fresh from the factory in Marion, SC to Roadtown in Tortola and to their base in St. Lucia (a more remote and peaceful place, but most likely more costly). They seem to take care of their people very well. Yes, they were all Beneteaus, but the Beneteau is a fantastic boat. You can single-hand up to a 40, if experienced. Over that, it gets a little tiring, but it is possible, I have had to do it in heavy weather on private boats. And please know that the 352s can be a pig going to weather due to the girl being kinda beamy. They can fit four couples, with one couple in the saloon, but if you are actually planning on sailing a lot, something a little bigger may be better and worth the money.
I DID NOT work for Moorings, but for a company signed to deliver the new Beneteaus, in case you think I have any say in the matter. And I have not done it for many years. But I have sailed Beneteaus since then and found them to be a nice, reliable, easy-sailing and comfortable boat that can certainly hold up in nasty weather. And some deliveries we had quite a bit of nasty weather, especially during hurricane season. (Jimmy Buffett has NO idea how hard it is to reason with hurricane season compared to delivery captains and crew!) And they have a great layout that affords a great deal of privacy for even 4 couples.
As for private boats, I have been hired on a few Beneteaus 45'' and more and find that they are still reliable and easily handled. In one extreme case, I had to single hand a 45f5 from where we had gotten hit by a storm cell after leaving Little River, SC heading to Bahamas. Someone (not me) forgot! to tighten the boom before he went out to tie down the main. He was almost sent overboard, I cracked a couple of ribs when I was thrown down the companionway (and I was holding on). He was complaining of chest pains but would not let me call for airlift. I had to sail her home for the day and a half it took us to get back to Little River, then steer her thru the jetty which had been kicked up because of the storm. Steering thru 20 foot swells with 2 cracked ribs is not fun, but she did it for me. SO - a Beneteau is a nice, reliable boat.
Much luck, and jealous,
Have fun,
With that said,
Best of luck and HAVE FUN!!

January and February are NOT rainy in the BVI for the most part. The Christmas winds pipe up in late December, but not to any huge extent this past season. Windy - maybe. Rainy? Usually not. It seems like the rains pretty much end in December, with occasional weather patterns that bring heavy showers. Tain''t like up home where it stays gray for weeks on end - like right now in Maine. Poor buggers up there never got the heatwave the other day. So they''re headed down here to visit and do Carnivale next week.

Thanks everybody for the input.
From your responses and from other sources I have basically gotten the following feelings:
1. Moorings is a reputable company that is good to deal with.
2. Get the bigegst boat you can for the room. Size does not represent a concern in boat handling in BVI.
3. There are alternative ways to charter a boat (direct thru owner, etc...) that could reduce cost. Research should be done in this area.
4. A lot of people do not like Flotillas because they do not like "Guided Tour" atmosphere. Our group wants the tour, the comraderie and the fun race at end so we will be going the Flotilla route.
5. Both Jan and Feb are rainy and windy for BVI. Hopefully not Gale type windy?
Thanks for all the input. It has made all of the members of our group very comfortable with our initial choice of Moorings. We will probably try to upsize the boat if we can.

Mike :
The wife & I did a Moorings charter in April last year...a wonderful experience, & I''m definitly going to do it again in the future.
We chartered a 361 Beneteau, as we have the same boat here in Windsor.
I''d suggest to avoid the flotilla, unless you like being on shuttled around on "package tours" like a tourist.
As some others have mentioned, a fair amount of the fun of doing this, is to be able to decide "when to go, & when to stay", & if your part of a flotilla, that''s taken away from you, in exchange for being part of the group.
As for me, I planned our trip with a great amout of help from Leslie Sides of the Moorings Clearwater Florida office...she''s a very nice & knowledgeable sweetheart of a gal, that is very good at the job.
Please tell her I said HI & want more "free days" next time !!!
I certainly share the opinion of wannasail, who mentions the 50 Beneteau, as it is a classic chater boat.
It will be lots of room for all of you, with a head for each couple, & a bonus one too, for anyone with an emergency.
Our trip went as follows :
1) Peter Island (Little Harbour)
2) Cooper Island (a GREAT SPOT)
3) Trellis Bay ("Last Resort" for dinner)
4) Marina Key (Pain Killer @ Pussers porch)
5) Virgin Gorda (Baths then VG yacht harbour...TAKE A CAB TO "THE ROCK" RESTAURANT FOR A GIANT LOBSTER DINNER !!!!!)
6) The Bitter End (should have stayed here longer)
7) Anagada (a nice enough spot, but I wouldn''t bother go there again)
8) Cane Garden Bay (we spent two days there, it''s as good as it gets !!!)
9) Yost Van Dyke (Foxy''s is manditory)
10) Sopers Hole (no one there knows who Soper was)
11) Norman Island (the Bight..keep a watch for nudists !!!)
12) Back to Moorings Base at Roadtown.
Best of luck !!!

I''ve chartered a 40'' center cockpit design from the Moorings, and it was very roomy for the two of us, and might be OK for 4 people but though it could sleep 6, it''s too crowded for my tastes. If I were going with 3 couples, I''d probably opt for the 50'' Beneteau, it''s a beautiful boat, loads of room, and looks easy to handle.
A similar sized cat would probably give you a lot more room on board, but you have to like cats...
Sailing is very easy in the BVI, and as long as you get to the site early enough to pick up a mooring (aim for no later than about 3:00 PM) then you should have no trouble. If you are at all concerned, go to the Moorings website and fill out a sailing resume and they will tell you what they will allow you to charter bareboat. (they also have captains available if you are still not feeling confident).
I would never consider a flotilla, as it''s that sort of crowd I''d like to avoid! But, it would be good if you wanted an introduction to the area perhaps.
The Moorings is a great chartering company, they are very professional, ensure you are properly briefed about where to go, properly checked out with a tour of your make of boat, and introduced to all the systems and how they work.
If price is an issue, the Club boats are fine. Though, it''s maybe a little more likely that you''ll have some minor mechanical problem. However, if you do have such a problem, the Moorings will send out a repair boat if necessary.
BTW, my favorite mooring spots are Marina Key and Cooper Island.

Hi Mike,
Wife and I have chartered in the Caribbean since 1993.
First boat was a 45'' Irwin Ketch. Big enough for the 4 adults and three children. Two berths, bunks on the port side and the salon. More then enough room. Also had a forward berthing area very forward. We kept this open for the bad ones on board.!!!
With six adults I would suggst a bigger boat.
Last two charters we had six adults. Chartered a 50'' Beneteau with four berths and four heads. Other one was a smaller Dufore.
Would recommend the bigger boat just for comfort. Small areas tend to close in after a time.
As for what charter company. Had no issues with Sunsail, North/South or Tradewinds.(older boats). Almost all larger charter companies are okay and no doubt the smaller ones are also.(no experience with smaller ones).
As mentioned in previous responses BVI''s are great. Wife and I did it by ourselves second time out in Guadeloupe and had no problems. Found that one is more alert and aware of surroundings as one enters an area for the night. As a result we never and I mean never had a problem. We discussed and made decisions together as with the other charters with friends/family.
Jan. & Feb. can be a bit challenging due to winds. Would suggest Feb. middle to end if high winds & wind gusts bother you and that is the time your set on going.
Much more fun and satisfying when you make your own decisions.
Final decision is yours.
Good sailing.

Hi Mike,
Here are a few answers that I hope will be helpful.
Bareboat vs. flotilla: if you have sailed before you do not need to be part of a flotilla unless you enjoy the "guided tour" atmosphere. Personally I think that 1/2 of the fun is in the planning and anticipation.
size of the boat: go as big as you can afford. The BVI are all about easy sailing, snokerling and relaxing. You want room. The perfect boat in my book is a cat but I am very biaised (see our web page).
January vs. February: It is probably cheaper for a couple of reasons one of them being that traditionally the winds are stronger in January, Christmas trades, as well as the swells that affect spots and anchorages open to the North.
Moorings and other charter fleets: You pay for what you get. The larger ones will provide you with better boats and better service should anything go wrong.
The real deal is to charter a boat from the owner in one of the big fleet directly. you get the boat, the service, at a discount of 25% or more.See our web page under booking from owners.
You can find a list of owners boats for direct charter at www.sailonline.com .
If you have ANY questions about the BVI and even specefic boats you will get your answers at www.traveltalkonline.com
To borrow a quote from a famous olympic moment " you can do it ".

Since I own a charter boat at VIP in St. Thomas I will not answer the Moorings question. What I will address is the flotilla Vs bareboat on your own.,
My wife and I put off the thought of chartering in the Virgin Islands thinking we did not have the experience. We had been Great Lakes sailors and the stories of reefs and such kept us away. We also only had experience on smaller boats, the biggest a 28 footer. All I can tell you is BOY WERE WE WRONG. The sailing in the islands is very easy for anyone with some degree of experience. We were amazed as to how easy it is. We feel it is easier than Great Lakes Sailing. If you stay in the USVI and BVI you are never out of sight of land, most of the major reefs (Johnson''s reef in specific) and anchorage entrances are marked. IF they are not the cruising guides and the guides with the Ariel photos give you all the information you need to navigate in confidence. Sure you''ll have some conversations between yourselves as to exactly where you are especially if you visit the many anchorage''s of St. Johns, but its easy and fun. Most have mooring balls if you are not comfortable with anchoring, but the anchoring is pretty easy and you can snorkel and look to see if your anchor is secure. Normal safty considerations and a little navagational ability will keep you safe. Most charting companies give you special charts for the islands, so you don''t need to be a expert navagator.
Being on your own will give you the flexibility in your schedule you''ll want. Especially with the kind of group your are speaking of.
As far as the boat size, we have never had to dock in the islands. It''s either a mooring ball or anchor. So size of boat is really is not an issue. A 45 sails like a 28. We chartered a 40 foot before we bought ours for charter. My wife was quite concerned, after the second mooring ball it was a piece of cake. As far as how big a boat do you need, depends on your group. I know VIP has some center cockpit Hylas that have three hugh separate cabins. Our 40 ft. has two heads and three small cabins, but hugh cockpit and main salon. Not a problem for six people. How much privacy you need and want will determine what size boat you''ll need. If you have some very private people charter two and have your own flotilla.
Yes, I guarantee it will be a dream vacation. Every time we go back it is still a dream vacation. We just keep expanding the areas of that dream.
Good Luck and as Nike says "Just DO IT"

Pictured: Thousands turn out for Manchester Evening News carol concert
More than 2,000 people filled a candle lit Manchester Cathedral to join the Manchester Evening News for A Concert of Carols and Festive Music.
With two services held across the day, audiences were treated to performances from William Hulme's Grammar School Concert Band and the school's Choir and Choral Society.
Conducted by director, Gemma Goodier, they sang festive classics including Ding Dong Merrily On High and Silent Night – as well as upping the tempo with a few Christmas pop songs.
From Jingle Bell Rock to Shakin' Stevens' Merry Christmas Everyone – the youngsters had young and old clapping and singing along.
There was also an appearance from the school's Wind Ensemble and its Ukulele Group – who tried to warm the winter crowds with a tropical style tune – complete with kazoo solo.
Joined by The Very Reverend Rogers Govender and the cathedral's Canon Precentor, Canon Philip Barratt, the day ended with a prayer, leaving concert-goers to begin their Christmas with a smile on their faces.
The free concert saw collectors accept donations in aid of the Manchester Cathedral Development Project, St Ann's Hospice and The Christie.
Eamonn O'Neal, MEN Media managing editor, who treated audiences to the Everlasting Turkey version of the Twelve Days of Christmas poem, said: "Once again, the concert was great. Every year, it's amazing to see just how much people value this kind of concert."

4-8 Overall | 3-5 Mountain West Conference (T-6th place)
Colorado State finished its first season under head coach Jim McElwain with three wins in the final five games, including a dramatic win in the season-finale at Hughes Stadium to secure a 4-8 record, the program's best since 2008. After leading New Mexico for most of the final game, the Rams fell behind, 20-17, with 3:12 to play. That set the stage for a seven-play, 76-yard march that was punctuated by redshirt-freshman quarterback Conner Smith's 30-yard game-winning touchdown pass to freshman receiver Joe Hansley. That finish sent the Rams' 15 senior out on a high note, and the accompanying three-game home winning streak provided a springboard toward the offseason program and a promising 2013 campaign.
- The three-game home winning streak vs. Hawaii (10/27/12), UNLV (11/10/12) and New Mexico (11/24/12) is the Rams' longest since 2008.
- It also marked the longest streak of home wins all against Mountain West opponents since 2005 (Air Force, Utah, Wyoming).
- The season-ending 24-20 win over New Mexico was the Rams' third consecutive against the Lobos, and the fourth in the last five meetings in the series.

- With the win the Rams have won three straight games against New Mexico and four of the last five in the series.
- Colorado State finished the season 4-0 when carrying a lead into the fourth quarter. In two of the games (9/1 vs. Colorado and tonight) the Rams fell behind in the fourth quarter and came back to win.
- Senior punter Pete Kontodiakos finished the season with a gross punting average of 46.47, breaking the school single-season record of 46.09 by Mike Deutsch in 1976.
- The final career gross punting average for Kontodiakos is 43.79, second-best all-time at Colorado State, behind only the 44.0 average of Jimmy Kaylor (2004-07).
- RS -Fr. Donnell Alexander posted his third 100-yard rushing game of the season with 112 yards and one touchdown on a career-high 22 carries (4.7). The 22 carries were the most by a Rams running back this season and the most since Ray Carter had 29 (158 yards) in the 2011 season finale (vs. Wyoming, 12/3/11).
- Alexander scored on a 3-yard rush in the first quarter for his fourth rushing touchdown of season. That tied him for the team lead in total touchdowns for the season with TE Kivon Cartwright.
- Alexander's 112-yard rushing effort marked the fifth game in a row in which the Rams have produced a 100-yard rusher.

- CSU entered the game with 36 plays of 20 or more yards this season, an average of 3.3 per game, and added five tonight, including three in the first quarter (1st quarter: 22-yd. run by Chris Nwoke, 29-yd pass Conner Smith to Joe Hansley (TD) and 26-yd run by Donnell Alexander… 2nd: 24-yard pass Smith to TE Crockett Gillmore…4th: 30-yard pass Smith to Hansley (TD)).

HEAD COACH Jim McElwain
Jim McElwain became the 20th head football coach in Colorado State program history on Dec. 13, 2011. McElwain, 50, came to Fort Collins from Alabama, where he had served as Nick Saban's offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach from 2008-11. In his first season McElwain led the Rams to a 4-8 record (3-5 in the Mountain West), the school's most wins since 2008. His team won three of its final five games in 2012, including three in a row at home. McElwain had played a key role in Alabama winning two national championships in his final three seasons. Alabama defeated No. 1 LSU in January 2012, several weeks after McElwain became CSU's new head coach, two years after topping Texas to claim the 2009 championship.
By leading his Rams team to victory over Colorado in his head coaching debut on Sept. 1, McElwain became the first CSU mentor since 1970 to win in his first game since Jerry Wampfler. McElwain also became the only Colorado State coach to win in his first matchup against rival Colorado.
- McElwain hasn't lost a season-opener at the college level since 2004, when he was assistant head coach at Michigan State.
- McElwain has been to a bowl games in nine of the past 11 years, including two national championships with Alabama (2009, 2011).
- McElwain's offenses at Alabama led the nation by committing only 57 turnovers in his fours years. Ohio State was second with 59.
- Sent two players to the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York: 2009 winner Mark Ingram and 2011 finalist Trent Richardson.
- Played key role in Crimson Tide's 47-6 record from 2008-11.
- Ranked among the top units in the Southeastern Conference.
- In 2011 `Bama led the SEC with 219.8 rushing yards per game, and finished second with 433.4 total yards per contest, and third in scoring (36 points per game). In 2010, the team was third in both total yards and scoring.
- The offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Fresno State in 2007, McElwain improved the Bulldogs' output from 338.2 total yards per game the year before his arrival to 419.5 (No. 38 in the nation), and from 23.0 points per contest to 32.9 (No. 32).

TWO-TIGHT END ALIGNMENT: The Rams started 11 of the 12 games this season in a two-tight end set, with Kivon Cartwright (11), C. Gillmore (10) and Austin Gillmore (2). The last time a CSU team had begun a game with two tight ends prior to the season-opener was Sept. 10, 2011 versus Northern Colo. (Crockett Gillmore and Blake Jones). Crockett Gillmore and Cartwright each surpassed 100 receiving yards this season in just three games and 200 yards in seven games. The last time a Rams team had two tight ends with 200+ yards was 2004 (Joel Dreessen, 427; Kory Sperry, 225).
Two TE sets since 2005: 2012: 11/12...2011: 1/12...2010: 0/12...2009: 0/12...2008: 3/13...2007: 1/12...2006: 12/12...2005: 4/12.
TANYI'S TACKLES: Defensive end Lanston Tanyi, in his first year with the Rams after transferring from Appalachian State, ranked second among Mountain West defensive linemen with 77 tackles. That ranked third on the team and was second-most by a CSU defensive lineman in a season since 1988. He recorded 8 or more tackles six times (13, 12, 10 twice and 8 twice). His 13 stops vs. Hawai'i on Oct. 27 were second-most by a Rams defensive lineman since 2005, and most since Jake Pottorf had 16 at Houston in 2007 (Sept. 22).

BEAST OF THE DEFENSE: Junior linebacker Shaquil Barrett has a career average of 6.9 tackles per game in 24 games and has scored three touchdowns in his two years at CSU. His 49-yard interception return for a score ignited the Rams' 33-11 win over UNLV on Nov. 10. Barrett had a career-high 15 tackles vs. North Dakota State Sept. 8, the most by a Ram since Ricky Brewer notched 15 twice in November 2008 (11/22/08 at Wyoming and 11/8/08 at Air Force). His performance included a sack for a loss of 6 yards. Barrett's previous high of 14 came vs. San Diego State on 11/12/11 and at Utah State on 9/24/11.
FRESHMAN IMPACT: Redshirt-freshman running back Donnell Alexander made six starts in 2012, and in his fourth, vs. UNLV (11/10/12), registered his second 100-yard game in a row with a career-high 139 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries (6.6). He had 114 on 20 carries the week before at Wyoming (11/3), the first 100-yard game by a CSU freshman since 1995 (Jaime Blake, 170, vs. Hawaii). Alexander, who led the team in rushing yards (587), yards per carry by a running back (5.0) and rushing touchdowns (4), ranks fifth on Colorado State's all-time freshman rushing list. He added a career-best two touchdowns vs. UNLV (11/10/12) and closed the season with his third 100-yard game vs. New Mexico (24-112-4.7-1).

Meanwhile, true freshman running back Tommey Morris ranked third on the team in rushing (42-211-5.0). He scored the first two rushing touchdowns of his career in back-to-back games at SDSU (10/13) & vs. Hawaii (10/27).
SOPHOMORE SIGNAL-CALLER: Starting quarterback Garrett Grayson was injured at Air Force (9/29) and underwent surgery to repair his left clavicle. He returned to action briefly in the third quarter at Wyoming (11/3) but did not play again. Before his injury Grayson had thrown just two interceptions through the first four full games of the season. The last time that was accomplished by a CSU starter was 1985 (Kelly Stouffer).
By throwing two touchdown passes and rushing for one at San Jose State (9/15/12), Grayson became just the third CSU quarterback in the last four seasons to rush for a touchdown and throw for multiple scores in the same game. He is the only Ram to do that in a road game in that period.
Player, Game (TDs)
Garrett Grayson, 2012 – 9/15 at SJSU (3, 1 rush)
Pete Thomas, 2011 – 10/1 vs. SJSU (4, 1 rush)
Grant Stucker, 2009 – 9/19 vs. Nevada (3, 1 rush)
Grayson had a career day on a number of fronts against San Jose State, setting four career highs and tying a fifth:
Category New High Previous High
Total Offense 337 – 9/15/12 at San Jose State 301 – 11/19/11 at TCU

BACK TO OUR ROOTS: Colorado State debuted a new look this season with a return to a simpler uniform. The Rams also have added a pumpkin orange "A" on the back of their helmets as a nod to the team's heritage as the Colorado A&M Aggies, symbolizing the school's history as a Land Grant institution. Head coach Jim McElwain has said often since his hire that he intends to "reach back into our past to help our future." Specifically, he has invited former players and coaches back to campus to be close to the program, and impart some of their wisdom on his current team. In addition to former All-American and Thorpe Award winner Greg Myers and his former head coach Sonny Lubick, speaking to the team, McElwain was proud to announce in August the hire of former CSU standout defensive lineman Greg Pollard in the Rams' student-athlete academic services department.
SIDELINE SWITCH: Head coach Jim McElwain introduced another new tradition with his choice to have the Rams inhabit the west sideline at Hughes Stadium for home games. The Rams had previously been stationed on the east sideline for their entire history at Hughes Stadium. In fact, it is believed that the last Colorado State team to use the west sideline for its home games was coached by Hughes Stadium namesake Harry Hughes, whose career spanned 1911-41.
CSU LEGEND MYERS TO ENTER COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME: Former Jim Thorpe Award winner Greg Myers, a two-time All-American at Colorado State, was selected for enshrinement in the College Football Hall of Fame in late May. He was recognized for the honor at halftime of the homecoming game against Fresno State on Oct. 6. Myers became the third individual in the history of Colorado State's football program to earn enshrinement in the Hall of Fame, joining consensus All-American Thurman "Fum" McGraw and former head coach Earle Bruce.
In Fort Collins Myers led the Rams to a pair of league championships (1994-95) and consecutive Holiday Bowl berths. During Myers' junior season, CSU appeared in the national rankings for 13 weeks, including the highest ranking in program history, No. 10 over the last five polls of the regular season prior to a loss to Michigan. The Rams finished No. 14 in the final 1994 rankings.
Rams head coach Jim McElwain invited Myers to speak to the team on the first day of fall camp on Aug. 4, 2012. McElwain encouraged Myers to bring his Thorpe Award back to campus and gave it a permanent home in a trophy case so those in the program could continue to recognize and draw inspiration from the special accomplishment Myers achieved as a Ram.
GRAHAM USHERS IN NEW LEADERSHIP AT COLORADO STATE: The 2012 season is the Rams' first under the leadership of director of athletics John C. "Jack" Graham, hired Dec. 1, 2011. From that moment Graham has boldly placed Colorado State's program on an ambitious path towards national prominence with his visionary leadership. A successful business leader and former Rams quarterback, Graham has energized the department under the motto, "Dream big, work hard and settle for nothing less than excellence." Graham, a Rams quarterback from 1973-74, went to work quickly on his plans. His first major initiative was to conduct a thorough evaluation of all athletic programs and to engage with donors and supporters about their goals for CSU athletics. Graham has been bold in his pursuit of a plan to build an on-campus stadium at CSU, the feasibility of which is being considered at this time by Colorado State University President Tony Frank.

One of the reasons Catholics rush relationships is due to a high anxiety to find their soul mate—sometimes to the point where dating isn't even enjoyable. Rather, it becomes an all out mission to find a spouse—at all costs.
It goes without saying that you should never seriously date anyone who you wouldn't be friends with or wouldn't consider good marriage material. However, the opposite is also problematic; namely, obsessing early on about whether or not this person is your soul mate.
You may find yourself asking questions: "Is this the one?" "Could this be my future spouse? "Where will we live?" "What will our finances look like?"
It can be a tendency to micromanage every little detail at the beginning of a relationship to figure out the spouse question.
This is unhealthy. In fact, it will impede the natural growth of a developing relationship and severely hamper your decision making process.
It also dehumanizes the other person, turning them into a venture to be figured out rather than a person to date who has feelings. As you might expect, trying to decipher what your whole future will look like with this person so early on prematurely attaches you to that person and builds a false intimacy that won't last.
Rushing into relationships merely to reach an "end goal" leads to a loss of clarity in the decision making process and almost always leads and to compromise. Settling for less is almost inevitable.
I know from my own experience—and from the mistakes of many Catholics—that the more you stress about this question early on, the more problems develop.
Work on getting to know each other first before you start talking about how many kids you want and what sort of house you would live in. Exploring these questions too early in the relationship only creates an unstable foundation that won't last.
Moreover, this often leads to trying to make a relationship work that shouldn't. This is because we have invested so much of ourselves so quickly.
It is also easy to miss clear warning signs. We may even justify the warnings; "Well, if we are going to be married someday, I have to learn to live with these problems now."
No, you don't. You are not married, and some problems should not be overlooked. Too many Catholics tolerate warning signs unnecessarily which only leads to larger issues later on.
Consequently, early on in a relationship, you shouldn't focus on the spouse question much, or at all. You shouldn't imagine your whole future with this person. That comes in time.
As Dave Sloan says, "Dating is fun: relax and enjoy it." Take pleasure in spending time with the other person—right now—in the present.
Go on fun, innocent, low-stress dates. Enjoy them, and don't give into worry. Dating can help you get to know the other person, know yourself, discover your likes and dislikes, and what you are looking for in a spouse.
If you don't want to continue seeing them, be honest. Dating is a mature act for mature people, and if someone is truly mature, they will understand and not grow bitter.
There is no sense trying to hold onto someone who is not your spouse. Staying with the wrong person, for whatever reason, will always keep you from finding the right person God has for you.
So, go about it the right way and "The Pathway to Love" will be more stable and authentic. If you continue to take it slow and pray about it, asking God to lead you, the deeper questions will be answered in time, and you will be free enough to see and hear the answer you are looking for.

|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
It was an ugly sight across the Atlantic, as the Boston Bruins opened the season with a 5-2 loss to Phoenix. Phoenix struck first blood 7:59 in, when Radim Vrbata tipped in a pass after Tuukka Rask slid off the side blocking a previous shot. The Bruins could not respond during two power plays in the first period, with the first including 36 seconds of 5-on-3. The Coyotes nearly got a shorthanded goal in the process.
Tempers started flaring, with what we'll refer to as "sedated fisticuffs" occurring during almost every stoppage near a goal. In the 2nd Period, Phoenix used the tension to their advantage, demolishing the floodgates and scoring at 1:58, 15:02, and 19:43 to go up 4-0 on Boston's (allegedly) strong defense. And the fourth goal was on the power play, by the way.
Needless to say, the Bruins weren't happy going into the locker room during the 2nd intermission. New Bruin Nathan Horton took the message, scoring 3:33 into the last period to finally put the Bruins on the board, then again at 9:03, bouncing his second goal (on the power play) off Ilya Bryzgalov's pad and into the net, making the score 4-2.
But from then on out, the clock became Boston's enemy, and with an empty net at 18:13, Radim Vrbata put in his second of the game to seal Boston's fate, if there was any doubt before the goal.
Aside from Nathan Horton, things were pretty bleak. Yes, Boston got off 42 shots to Phoenix's 37, but few of their shots were meaningful. Too often, the puck proved too slippery to keep around.
What can be said that wasn't said already. Boston gave up 200 goals last season. They're now on pace to give up 410 this season. Not that that'll happen, but still.
Fights are why we watch hockey. Just eight seconds after Boston scored their first goal, Gregory Campbell of the Bruins took it to Phoenix's Vernon Fiddler. They probably got dizzy (or 780.4, if you'd prefer) from all the spinning, before Campbell put Fiddler down on the ice and the refs pulled them apart.

Today's guest post is written by Logan Swinkels, a music video director and former On the Box contributor who offered to write about Mediaworks' Fast Four campaign, which aims to significantly shorten delays from the USA. He's also a huge How I Met Your Mother fan, but don't let that put you off. Thanks for helping out, Logan! - Chris
Last month, Mediaworks announced the new Fast Four scheme that will see some of New Zealand's favourite TV shows screening the same week here on TV Four as they air United States - in some cases, it's even same-day delivery due to the time differences.
Along with Mr On the Box himself, I'm very excited about what this could mean for the future of television in this country. It could have an influence on how we choose to digest some of these shows, and of course, see them sooner!
In case you missed the announcement, here's how the Fast Four initiative is shaping up to begin with:
Glee - premiered Wednesday, September 19
Survivor - premiered Sunday, September 23
How I Met Your Mother - premieres Tuesday, September 25
New Girl - premieres Tuesday, October 2
The Simpsons - premieres Sunday, October 7
Family Guy - premieres Sunday, October 7
For the first time last year, TV3 screened The X Factor USA the same day as it showed on Fox in the US - showing us that it is entirely possible to achieve what Fast Four is setting out to do.
This is just the beginning. Hopefully it will grow into a larger beast in years to come, with many more shows coming to us "hot off the satellite" - and it won't be limited to Four.
You may have seen the teaser promos for season two of Homeland which say "coming soon to TV3". With the US premiere slotted for September 30, they mean really soon (as in same day, starting next Monday). This show arguably would've been a hot one to torrent for Kiwi fans itching to get their next dose of this award-winning series. Could this be an attempt to combat the torrenting issue and bring more viewers away from their laptops and back into primetime?
For so long, Kiwis have had to wait months, sometimes years, to see new episodes of their favourite shows to air in New Zealand - which then resulted in many of us torrenting these shows online so that we could stay up to date and avoid spoilers on social media and fan forums from overseas viewers.
We all know about the Government stepping in and introducing the infamous "Skynet" law last year, but from what I've seen in polls and attitudes toward it on Twitter, this hasn't stopped most of us from torrenting (aside from those crazy enough to download a Rihanna album).
I'm a massive How I Met Your Mother fan, at times completely absorbed by the storyline. I couldn't wait for it to screen months later in this country, I needed to know what was happening with Ted Mosby and the gang, and so I would resort to other methods of viewing.
But now I won't have to bother - season eight's US premiere is on September 24, and we get it on September 25. If you do a little time-zone conversion, you will notice that's actually within 24 hours for us. Considering this could be the final season of the show, this is a great move to reel in the fans.
What I'm wondering is, with this new Fast Four initiative, will this deter Kiwis from torrenting shows? If you knew a TV show was going to be playing the same week here as the US, would you bother trying to find a torrent that can sometimes takes a day or two for that all-important high quality version to appear, or would you just wait?
Personally, I'd just wait - I can save my data allocation for something else.

I wouldn't download at all if Prime had On Demand. I've missed a few episodes of True Blood and had to crawl around the net finding bad quality downloads, since MegaUpload's disappeared. (Still bitter? Me? Gosh no, whatever gave you that idea?) And I'd probably be watching Game of Thrones on TV if I'd been given a chance to catch up on that first episode I missed, instead of buying it on DVD when I get the chance.
RE: Sophie #1
You can watch Prime on demand with True Blood episodes available. ISKY.CO.NZ
Too little too late. My viewing habits changed ages ago. Going back to old fashioned tv now would be too painful. I'm used to higher quality, ad free programming. It just eats my broadband.
Now if I could pay for an ad free HD broadcast service, that had content up to date with the rest of the planet, I would jump on it.
Kudos for the initive.
None of thise programs are at all interesting to me.
Could possibly make me watch if the programs I watched were available quickly. But TV3/4 haven't had any programs I watch anymore for 2 years or so...
People download Survivor? Oh dear oh dear. they deserve to be caught, for having absolutely no taste. Actually its a strange list - those aren't really the kind of shows that the heavy downloaders download - excepet maybe Family Guy. Its the plot-heavy dramas that get most download action because the fans want to be able to go online wityhout hitting spoilers about their favourite shows - I don't see that as an issue with half these shows, and Glee has a different demographic. the shows that need to be on this kind of fast rottation are stuff like Fringe, Doctor Who, Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, Game of Thrones - the kinds of shows fans discuss in online forums.
This is a good start however now they need to sort out the relentless advertising which to the viewer serves no other purpose than to ruin an otherwise pleasant experience. I feel only then will people be satisfied.
Personally I don't think this will work as most of us have got out of the habit of being in the front of the TV when the programs are broudcast. Sure it will be great to watch them quickly but until every house has a PVR it won't stop people downloading programs to watch later

Women in the business of food
Women are strongly represented in Australia's food industry as producers, chefs, cookbook authors and creative writers.
Chef Janet Jeffs, novelist Marion Halligan and food historians Adele Wessell and Donna Lee Brien explore women's stories about growing, preparing and savouring food.
Presented in association with Women's History Month on Sunday 6 March 2011.
Presenters and topics
Janet Jeffs, Chef, The Ginger Room and Kitchen Cabinet, Old Parliament House, Canberra
Described as one of the 'giants of the kitchen', along with Gay Bilson, Stephanie Alexander, Maggie Beer and Barbara Santich, Janet completed an apprenticeship at Neddy's restaurant in Adelaide with Cheong Liew, and was then Chef at the Pheasant Farm in the Barossa Valley with Maggie Beer. In 1985, she opened her first restaurant, Kilikanoon, in the Clare Valley. In 1995 she moved to Canberra and opened Juniperberry, a small, fine dining restaurant. Juniperberry moved to the National Gallery of Australia in 2000, then in partnership Janet established Ginger Catering at Old Parliament House. The Ginger Room opened in March 2004 and has received many awards. Janet holds 'Talk and Taste events' every month at The Kitchen Cabinet at Old Parliament House.
Janet spoke on 'Being in the business of food'.
Marion Halligan, Novelist and food writer, Canberra
Food, its preparation and consumption, is central to Halligan's vision of domestic life. It is the subject of two of her non-fiction works, Eat My Words (1990) and The Taste of Memory (2004), and features prominently in her fiction. Her novel, The Point (2003) is set in a restaurant by Lake Burley Griffin and has a leading woman chef as its chief character. She has been described by Ramona Koval as 'a great master of writing about food and gardens and the intricacies of the human heart'. At one point she decided to omit all references to food from her fiction but she confessed 'I found I couldn't do it. Quite impossible. The kind of novels I write need food.'
Marion spoke on 'Food and fiction, an inescapable combination'.
Dr Adele Wessell, historian and lecturer, Southern Cross University
Adele has published works on historiography, teaching and community engagement and food history, and published Food History: An Introduction in 2008. Her forthcoming book is entitled First Course: An Introduction to Food History. She was a visiting fellow at the National Museum of Australia in November 2008 and has worked with curator Alison Wishart on one of the books in the Museum's collection, Our Cookery Book, by Flora Pell, which sheds light on changing domestic roles, women's position in Australian society and issues such as citizenship and home.
Adele spoke on 'Food Activism: Women at home, women in dairying'.
Professor Donna Lee Brien, Professor, Creative Industries, Faculty of Arts, Business, Informatics and Education, Central Queensland University
Donna's main areas of recent research are Margaret Fulton and other Australian women food writers and chefs such as Stephanie Alexander, Maggie Beer and Gay Bilson, and how the massive contributions they have made to changing our lives have only just started to be recognised because food and food magazines have been seen as women's business.
Donna spoke on 'Margaret Fulton, Gay Bilson, Stephanie Alexander, Maggie Beer – how they have changed our lives'.

Ageing drivers: Storm in a teacup?
Tay, Richard S. (2006) Ageing drivers: Storm in a teacup? Accident Analysis and Prevention, 38(1), pp. 112-121.
The purpose of this paper is to address two important issues regarding ageing drivers. First, there is a presumption in the road safety arena that the expected increase in the number of ageing drivers on the roads will lead to an increase in crashes. Second, despite extensive research on ageing drivers, especially on their increased vulnerability and reduced driving abilities, the most widely recommended road safety strategy relates to the control of their driving licenses. This presumption and the associated policy recommendation are based mainly on the higher relative crash risks associated with ageing drivers compared to their younger counterparts. This study, however, argues that the average crash risks obtained in previous studies provide only indirect information concerning these issues and any decision based on these results may produce unexpected outcomes. An analytical framework to examine the marginal effect of changing the driver mix on the roads is proposed and a simple empirical model is estimated as an illustration. In contrast to previous studies, we found that increasing the number of licenses issued to ageing drivers had only an insignificant impact on the number of fatal crashes on the roads, suggesting that the concern over ageing drivers may be a storm in a teacup.
