The Triple Crown: Chris McCarron
Tuesday, June 1, 6 p.m. ET
Hall of Fame jockey Chris McCarron has been on both sides of the Triple Crown quest. In 1987, he rode Alysheba to Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes victories, only to fall short in the Belmont Stakes. Ten years later, he won the Belmont aboard Touch Gold and helped spoil Silver Charm's Triple Crown bid. McCarron, who also worked as a technical advisor, racing designer and actor in the film Seabiscuit, is currently Vice President/General Manger at Santa Anita Park (http://www.magnaent.com/MEC.Corporate/Tracks/SantaAnitaPark/Home/). He'll answer your questions about Smarty Jones' chance at horse racing immortality, how jockey Stewart Elliott might be preparing for the third jewel and what it's like to race at the sport's highest level.

Virtually Real
Welcome to Virtually Real, a site containing information
and multimedia about Fin Fin, the world's most
realistic virtual pet. Please browse through the site using the links above. I've tried to make this site very thorough and informative, because not too many people know about Fin Fin, and I think the more that learn about him through this site, the better. Everyone should have a copy of Fin Fin, and it's too bad that it seems to be such a rare program!
Before you begin your search, please take note: I get many emails asking about Fin Fin and where the program can be found. Although I state it many times on my site, let me make it clear here: Fin Fin is no longer available for purchase in stores. However, some people have managed to find it on eBay. Your best bet is to try to find it there. And remember to look for the English version (unless you're Japanese or German, of course).
Fin Fin on Windows XP
I'm putting this right here on the main page, because the majority of emails I receive about Fin Fin are asking me if there is a way to get the program to work on Windows XP. Previously, the answer was NO. But recently a patch has been introduced that will allow the program to work! The answer to this problem can be found on Emge's Fin Fin site, here. This is great news for Fin Fin lovers everywhere! It works fantastically (I'm using the patch right now, and Fin Fin is running great on my computer).

Kristan Higgins
My One and Only
HQN, March 29, 2011, $7.99
Just when she thought she had life and love all figured out . . .
Divorce attorney Harper James can't catch a break. Bad enough that she runs into her ex-hubby, Nick, at her sister's destination wedding, but now, by a cruel twist of fate, she's being forced to make a cross-country road trip with him. And her almost-fiancé back at home is not likely to be sympathetic.
Harper can't help that Nick has come blazing back into her life in all if his frustratingly, appealing, gorgeous architect glory. But in Nick's eyes, Harper's always been the one. If they can only get I right this time, forever might be waiting—just around the bend.
My One and Only combines several of my favorite romance tropes: a reunion of past lovers, a road trip, a possible love triangle, a small town environment, and a bit with a dog. I eagerly await each of Kristan Higgins's new releases for several reasons: her well-rounded, interesting characters (in which I include the locations), the course of true love never running smooth, the heart-warming ending.
But the one thing that makes Kristan Higgins stand out for me is her humor. I have never read one of her books during which I did not laugh out loud more than once.
There are always animals in Kristan Higgins's books and they are frequently some of the funniest characters. My One and Only has a Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix who makes the road trip with Nick and Harper. The couple run into a major mid-western storm driving through North Dakota.
A flock of blackbirds—dozens . . . no, hundreds of them—suddenly wheeled out in front of us. Fleeing the storm.
'Let the record reflect the Biblical signs of doom.' I said.
'Relax. Coco's not nervous is she?' I glanced at my dog. She sat on Nick's lap, bunny in her mouth, staring at Nick, trying to hypnotize him into worshipping her for the rest of his life. Bad enough that my father, BeverLee and Willa all adored Nick. Now my dog had fallen too.
Even when Harper and Nick are falling back in love and desperately fighting their attraction, you've got to smile.
Sleeping with him is definitely ill-advised, said the lawyer part of my brain. Unfortunately, the blood flow had redirected to my girl parts, which gave a hot and sudden throb. Nick looked at me, his eyes as dark as an abyss into which I would cheerfully throw myself. The lawyer part of me gave a distant, outraged squeak.His lashes . . . they were so pretty, thick and unexpected, and when he smiled, which he was doing now, the loveliest lines spread from his eyes, and those eyes, so often tragic and gypsy-sad, were happy now.A week ago, I wouldn't have dreamed of sleeping with Nick. Now though . . . now . . . okay, the brain was definitely struggling for survival as the girl parts continued to croon . . . Nick and me, naked and in bed . . . that seemed like a wicked good idea.The lawyer part committed hari-kari.

I'm keeping the prices on all my stock to the lowest possible through March. Prices will return to normal after March. Consider it a "pre-Spring cleaning!"
c.1930 Slingerland-style "Princess" Tenor Banjo
This is a good, mid-grade, resonator tenor banjo from around 1925-30. The vast majority of this style tenor banjo (with its distinctive headstock shape) were labeled with the Slingerland brand and many others can be found with Lyon & Healy marks and any number of random brand names (Concertone, Princess, etc.).
Whatever the case, they're apparently Chicago-made, probably by L&H themselves or Regal, who had some patents for a similar-looking headstock design and overall build.
This is a nice loud and crisp instrument that plays great as well. Its neck is 3-piece maple, the rim is durable laminated maple and it has a hoop style tonering for added punch and zing.
While all the hardware is original, the head is a replacement synthetic Remo Renaissance type (the best kind of synthetic head) with a very "skin like" tone but louder and not susceptible to weather changes.
Note the pearl star headstock inlay. The tuners have ivoroid buttons and are a nicer type of friction tuner for the time, having a bit more grip than others.
My work on this banjo was a light cleaning, fret level/dress (the frets were pretty divoted!), and setup.
Note the adjustable tension tailpiece and also the original Grover non-tip bridge.
The resonator has gorgeous birdseye maple veneer on its rear. This whole resonator assembly comes off very quickly with the removal of the center bolt.
Ivoroid buttons, 3-piece (for strength) maple neck, "Princess" stamp.
The resonator sides have a cool decal on them that looks like marquetry inlay. Check out how good the finish is on this one!
The resonator "flange" is attached to the resonator itself which makes for a very clean-looking conversion to openback if desired. All the rim hardware is good and heavy-duty stuff.
Tailpiece with adjustment screw.
Detail of the flange.
c.1895 Lyon & Healy 5-String Banjo
This is a Lyon & Healy 5-stringer made around 1895. Rumor has it (via the "Regal Musical Instruments 1895-1955" book) that Regal (then in Indiana) made these for L&H while fancier "Washburn" L&H products were made in-house by L&H in Chicago.
Whatever the provenance, these L&H-sold instruments from the late 1800s tend to be great values as long as the necks haven't been warped by over-zealous folkies in the 1950s and 60s. This instrument in particular is a little rarer as most of these have 25"+ scale lengths and 11" pots while this one is an "A-scale" banjo at 24 1/4" scale with a 10" pot.
Personally, I prefer to play A-scale instruments as the reach down the neck doesn't put any stress on my arm while playing and the smaller rim fits nicely in the lap.
This banjo was intended for gut (modern: nylgut/nylon) strings but due to its heftier-than-average neck (most of these 'jos have thin necks that warp easily when used with steel) I'm able to string it with light gauge steel and have it remain perfectly true.
My work on the instrument included cleaning, a fret leveling/dress, replacement tuners all around, a replacement head (usually on this size I would be forced to use skin since 10" isn't widely available, but I had a spare 10" synthetic head in my parts bin), cleaning, a new bridge, and setup.
My work on the instrument included cleaning, a fret leveling/dress, replacement tuners all around, a replacement head (usually on this size I would be forced to use skin since 10" isn't widely available, but I had a spare 10" synthetic head in my parts bin), cleaning, a new bridge, and setup.
These are good-quality uke tuners I've adapted to the instrument. Note that I've used nicer "upgrade" ivoroid buttons all around.
The fretboard is very thin ebony and the dots are pearl. Note that I've added a "railroad spike" for capo-ing the drone string at the 7th fret. That lets one quickly capo up a step for accompanying fiddle tunes in A or D.
New ebony/maple bridge.
The rim hardware is all original as far as I can tell and includes a period "No Knot" tailpiece. This rim is also "double spun" which means the metal curves over into a hoop on either side of the pot, making an "integral tonering" on the top edge which adds volume, clarity, and sustain.
These old guys used two screws to secure the neck's heel to the pot. I used whatever random (proper length) screws I had in my parts bin plus some washers as the originals were missing. While I could have dug around for "standard" one-slot screws that looked more perfect I prefer to use whatever works best for secure attachment rather than worry so much about aesthetics.
Here's the L&H stamp on the dowel.
At first glance this neck looks like mahogany but I have my doubts -- it's more likely either Spanish cedar or stained birch.
Good solid heel.
Nice period hardware looks nice as well as functions nicely.
No Knot tailpiece.
Video: Couple New Songs
"Spat of the Bulge"
"Been Framed"
I wrote these two just recently... well, give or take a month. I'm plucking away on my old Kalamazoo and am already planning for these to be incorporated into a new album at some point mid-year. Enjoy!
c.1975 Martin D-35 (customized) Guitar
This is a friend's D-35 that was in for a "winter shim" below the saddle. Flattop guitars often have their action sink to fret buzz level during winter because the wood loses so much humidity (and thus, shrinks) up here in Vermont, so I often suggest that folks have a hardwood shim to put under their saddles in winter when this occurs to raise the action height just slightly.
While I can't place an exact date on this guitar (since the serial number is covered up by pickup equipment at the neck block) I'm pretty sure this is a mid-70s D-35.
What's different about this D-35 should be obvious to the casual Martin fan -- pearl rosette, fancy pearl inlays on the neck, gold tuners, and pearl-dot bridge pins (which have "greened" as a result of the dyed pearl in them). It's also got a tortoise-style pickguard rather than the usual black.
Bound ebony board.
At some point this bridge was shaved to improve the action height -- and it was a job well done.
The finish has yellowed a bit with age but is in generally great shape.
There's an undersaddle pickup system installed.
c.1922 Vega Little Wonder Banjo Mandolin
This is Vega "Little Wonder" (so named for its spunover tonering) banjo mandolin and the serial dates it to 1922. It's entirely original save for a replacement (c.1900) bridge from my parts bin and an aftermarket screw-on resonator.
Work included replacing the missing neck binding, a fret level/dress, cleaning, parts replacement, and setup. It's a real quick player with a nice feel and sounds great both as an openback and also with the resonator attached.
These Little Wonder models are much rarer than the more usual Vega style K and have a bit more volume and focus than the Ks (which makes sense because the Ks only had a hoop tonering). They're also finished in natural, whereas the Ks tend to be finished in a medium "mahogany" colored finish.
Bone nut, rosewood headstock veneer.
Ebony board. The first 5-7 frets are replacements of one type, the next 3-4 of them are replacements of another type, and about the 10th-end of the board are original bar stock frets. The binding is replaced with some vintage stuff off of an old banjo neck I had hanging around. I wanted to keep an "original" look to it.
Original skin head.
This Italian-style bridge was originally from a bowlback mandolin. The saddle is a thin bit of bone and while it looks like ebony it's actually stained rosewood.
The big old resonator is kinda cool and matches the instrument pretty well.
Original Waverly tuners with ivoroid knobs. Note that the neck is two pieces of hard maple with a thin strip of some sort of other wood between. This 3-piece construction gives the neck strength while also letting its cut be thinner.
Now I've removed that resonator. It has markings (stamped) on it but they're impossible to read.
Aside from the mount for the resonator, this is how one would expect to see a Little Wonder banjo mando.
Note the dowel endpiece.
Good heavy neck brace.
The serial numbers on the dowel and pot match so they're both definitely original to one another.
It's a classy looking instrument.
Here you can see the grooved tension hoop, the skirt of the "Little Wonder" tonering hanging down past the head's flesh hoop, and the tortoise celluloid binding on the rim's lower edge.
...and this is how one would expect one of these to look from the front, "stock," without the resonator.
It even has an (essentially) fitted period hard case.

The Pac-12 announced it has hired Ice Miller LLP to review the officiating situation during the Pac-12 Tournament in March.
After the tournament, Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said officials coordinator Ed Rush improperly tried to motivate officials into more closely monitoring UA's Sean Miller and other coaches.
Miller was called for a technical foul on March 15 against UCLA and later fined $25,000 for confronting an official and launching a tirade in front of a conference staffer.
Rush resigned on April 4 and Miller has since paid the fine.
Ice Miller LLP has a branch specializing in NCAA-related matters. One of its attorneys who handles sports, Stuart Brown, will head the investigation.
Brown is a former basketball coach who graduated with a law degree from Vanderbilt.
His bio on the Ice Miller website says: "Stuart Brown's combined coaching and legal background enables him to provide sophisticated athletics related counsel to college and university athletics departments, senior institutional administrators, coaches, student-athletes, and other institutional stakeholders and business partners."
James Whitford hasn't had much time to sleep at the Muncie Holiday Inn Express.
John Henderson of the Denver Post says Andre Roberson will miss Colorado more than the Buffs will miss him.
Mike Moser is down to Washington, Oregon and Gonzaga.
Lots more buzz about Angelo Chol, Sean Miller and playing time on the previous discussion thread.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Installation of the beautiful new FieldTurf Revolution playing surface at the University of Wyoming's War Memorial Stadium has been completed. The field's new features include the image of Wyoming's Teton Mountains in the end zones, and on the sidelines is the lettering "7220 Feet" to distinguish Jonah Field as the highest NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) stadium in the country.
UW's school colors of brown and gameday gold are prevalent throughout. The traditional words "WYOMING" and "COWBOYS" are boldly displayed in brown on a vivid gameday gold background in opposite end zones. Those words appear in a new western-style font. Another traditional element that was incorporated into the design was Wyoming's iconic "Steamboat symbol of a bucking horse and rider at midfield in brown, outlined in white and gameday gold.
Jonah Field will continue as the name of Wyoming Football's playing surface to commemorate the generous donations to UW Athletics by Mick and Susie McMurry and John and Mari Ann Martin and their families.
Installation of the new surface began on Monday, June 10 and was completed on Thursday, June 27 -- under three weeks from beginning to end.
The field includes over 750,000 pounds of crushed rubber to provide cushioning to the playing surface. The various elements of the field were manufactured in Calhoun, Ga., outside Atlanta and then sewn together as the field was installed.
The cost of the field is $500,000, all of which is being funded from self-generated dollars with no state funds going to pay for the project. Cost savings of nearly $500,000 came from the excellent condition of the base that was already in place from the installation of Wyoming's original artificial turf surface back in the summer of 2005.
The FieldTurf Revolution turf system was selected by Wyoming Athletics due to its elite-level playability. FieldTurf has been installed at many of the top NCAA football stadiums in the country for its grass-like performance and safety.
Award winning graphic designer David Coleman, who is a UW graduate and Wyoming native from Wheatland, helped develop the design.
The Mountain West Regional Manager for FieldTurf is UW graduate and former Cowboy baseball letterwinner Jed Easterbrook. Easterbrook worked extremely hard with his company, FieldTurf, to win the bid, and Easterbrook monitored the installation of the new surface through completion.
Some of the other schools in the country who play on FieldTurf surfaces are: Arizona, Illinois, Iowa, Louisville, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Oregon State, Syracuse, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, USC, Washington, Washington State and Wisconsin.

Greg Germann stole this show, not unlike his efforts on "Ally
Debra Messing was far less annoying here than she currently is on "that
show". Thomas Hayden Church was sublime as the me-centered womanizer he
illuminated with "Ned".
I do a polka of disgust when clever, acerbic comedies like "Ned & Stacey" meet an untimely death and crud like "Yes Dear" & "Good Morning Miami" live on. Tis a travesty.
This delightfully original series lived a micro-short life in syndication, but your chances these days of seeing it are about as likely as seeing a sequel to "Rabbit Test". It's a low down crying shame. First "Herman's Head", now this.
The verdict has been delivered by broadcast TV: Strip it of life, dress it up, make it palpable for the masses, and viola! Hit.
Long live "Ned & Stacey". R.I.P.
Ned and Stacey is the hetero version of "Will and Grace". Except it's
actually funny. The premise is virtually identical, platonic co-habitation,
the roles are virtually the same. Everything is played for laughs, no
serious undercurrents, no position to take; just go for the joke. Neds
self-absorption, Stacey's contempt for Ned, Amanda's contempt for humanity,
Eric's sad-sack befuddlement, it all just works. They did an entire show
about the down-on-his-luck Mr. Beveldere, for God's sake! Any real TV fan
has to admire that.
I can only imagine that the show was killed only because Thomas Hayden Church was just too far over the top for most people. I thought he was great but everyone I talk to absolutely *hated* him. But slap in Eric McCormack (who is undoubtedly a better actor, just too understated to really be funny), slap on a gay aspect to get some press and make it look like a different show, and problem solved.
I miss this show! Thomas Haden Church was always funny as Lowell on "Wings", and proved his talent even further on "Ned and Stacey". It was also no surprise to see Debra Messing go on to such success as Grace, of "Will and Grace". Thomas Haden Church's character, Ned, had the best wardrobe ever on T.V.! The dialogue was intelligent and witty. The premise, though contrived, was more believable than most sit-coms. I would like to see this show released on DVD, and I would really like to see Church in another show.
Thomas Haden Church, sorta playing the smart evil twin of his character on
"Wings" and Debra Messing, basically preparing for her role as Grace, was
good pair on this comedy. It only lasted for about two years, but it was a
superior product, and had that fun edge that many shows these days only
strive for.
"Ned and Stacey" the show that had Debra Messing as a uppity business woman who to help a business man (Thomas Haden Church) get a promotion while she (Messing) needed a life, so up and both got married. The life of both Ned and Stacey was turned crazy this show had some of the funniest moments not only from Debra Messing and Thomas Haden Church but the other characters and guest gave great performances. This is the show that showed just how much talent that Debra Messing had she was very sexy in this series. "Ned and Stacey" used to air on mornings on the USA network because I watched many episodes of it all last year. This series is worth a watch it should have lasted longer.
Ned and Stacey was a good show. There was clever and well writing. The cast was great, most notably Thomas Haden Church (Lowell from Wings). There were a lot of great gags that fit in perfect with this show. It's a shame the show was so short lived. Would I recommend this show? Yes. Catch the reruns on the USA Network.
I loved Thomas Hayden Church here as Ned and I prefer Debra Messing here as Stacey than Grace. I think this show could have been a bigger hit if the network allowed it to grow. The premise was silly but somehow Church and Messing made it work even if only for two seasons. Church left his beloved role on Wings to pursue his own sitcom. The comparison between the two roles is noteworthy for any aspiring actor. Here, Ned is intelligent and lot less naive. He marries Stacey to get a promotion and she marries him to live in a grand New York City apartment. What won't people do to live in Manhattan? At first, there is this friction and uncomfortableness but slowly they turn out to be in love and if only love was really like that. The show was heading in the direction that Ned and Stacey were going from being a fax pas couple to an actual duo. Too bad, the network canceled it. Of course, Church has moved on to other things and Messing will always be known as Grace but I much prefer her here as Stacey.
Ned (Thomas Haden Church) has a terrific job as an ad executive in Manhattan. But, alas, the big boss tells him that he can't promote him further up the ladder until he's a stable family man, with a wife. This is not what Ned wants to hear. Also working at the agency is accountant Eric (Greg Germann) who is married to the lovely but catty Amanda (Nadia Dajani). The two wedded folks decide to fix Ned up with Amanda's sister, Stacey (Debra Messing), a writer for a newspaper called the Soho News. The blind date, dinner for both couples, doesn't go well, as the ad man and the journalist are polar opposites. Not long after, Stacy sees one of Ned's ads and realizes he "stole" an idea she had thrown out in casual conversation. Miffed, Stacey heads to Ned's apartment, to tell him off. But, wait, Ned's digs, which he inherited from an alzheimers stricken aunt, is gorgeous and Stacey longs to get away from bunking with her parents. What if, she proposes, ha ha, to Ned, we get married, in name only? Neddie could get his promotion and Stacey could get her own room in a beautiful, well-situated apartment? It's a go! But, from day one, bickering goes back and forth, making everyone, including Eric and Amanda, wonder if the marriage will last. Then, too, just what are the ground rules about the twosome's romantic life? This series, which I probably missed from working two nights a week for years, is a delight. Church was fresh off his stint on Wings and Messing hadn't found stardom as part of Will and Grace but the duo works beautifully together. Church's dry wit and Messing's zaniness make for a very nice romantic comedy show. German and Dajani are also very funny and deft, as are the other supporting actors. In addition, Ned's apartment is quite glamorous, as are the costumes and alternate sets. Nice, too, is the script and timely direction. All fans of mixed-matched romantic love tales should try to add this one to their collections.
Ned and Stacey is my favorite show! There's nothing better then Ned, Stacey, Amanda and Eric to brighten up a dull day! Ned and Amanda are my favorite characters. I love their wit and sarcasm, especially when they argue over the muffin shop. Of course, my favorite episode is the now classic "Loganberry's Run" where Ned tries to introduce the bizarre loganberry muffin to the Amanda's Amuffins menu. Throughout the episode, he obsesses over the muffin and tries to convince Amanda to make it in every way he can. I'm very depressed over the fact that this show didn't last as long as it should have. Thomas Haden Church is an excellent actor, so excellent in fact that I have developed a crush on him. I love Ned Dorsey!
"NED AND STACEY," in my opinion, is an absolute FOX classic! I haven't seen every episode, but I still enjoyed it. It's hard to say which episode was my favorite. However, I think it was always funny when a mishap occurred. I always laughed at that. Despite the fact that it was a short-lived series, it would have been nice if all the main characters had stayed with the show throughout its entire run. It seems that no one stays with a show throughout its entire run. Everyone always gave a good performance, the production design was spectacular, the costumes were well-designed, and the writing was always very strong. In conclusion, I hope someone brings it back on the air for fans of the show to see.

Create a Candy Corn-Inspired Cheese Platterby Food Network Magazine in Food Network Magazine, Holidays, October 3rd, 2013
Serve a candy corn-inspired cheese platter for Halloween.
To create this candy corn cheese platter, we molded goat cheese into a triangle to look like the tip, then we formed the middle with cubes of orange cheddar and the bottom with sliced havarti. Serve with crackers, or just replace the bottom layer with slices of pumpernickel bread — it'll look like a piece of Indian-candy corn.

Drink of the Week
For centuries, being banished to snowy Siberia was a fate worse than death for citizens of Russia. If you'd like to experience some authentic, icy Russian culture, without the forced labor, stop by Red Square Euro Bistro in Writer Square. On a blustery January evening, our thickly accented bartender poured shots of Moskovskaya ($4), a Russian libation that translates as "Moscow vodka." Served chilled in a frosted shot glass with a pickle slice on the side, this 80-proof poison warmed me and my comrade from the inside out, giving us the strength to sample some of Red Square's fourteen fruit- and spice-infused Siberian vodkas. I highly recommend an evening of self-imposed exile at Red Square. The outpost draws a worldly, hard-drinking crowd to its elegant, dim dining room and long wooden bar stocked with more than seventy vodkas, as well as Russian, German and Lithuanian beer. Just don't expect to feel like a million rubles the next morning.

To Nova Scotia's Political Parties: Promise to Protect All of Martinique Beach
How can we protect the beautiful provincial park at Martinique Beach from a new man-made threat?
In light of the upcoming election on October 8, we are asking you to sign this petition to the leaders of all four parties so that no matter who is elected, the leader of the next government of Nova Scotia will be publicly committed to acting quickly to protect all of Martinique Beach.
But isn't Martinique Beach already protected as a provincial park?
The answer is NO.
The park is at risk because when the legislature established the park, the legislators left the western half of the first beach in private hands, the part of the beach backed by private cottages and houses.
So private owners of the western half of the beach can take actions (like building a seawall) that do not violate any existing law but will damage the park side of the beach by washing away the sand.
The forces of nature are completely indifferent to legislatively-drawn property lines. As far as the ocean is concerned, there is only one beach at Martinique.
Beach geologists know from decades of experience that armoring the privately-owned side of the beach (with a seawall or some other material) will inevitably damage the public park side of the beach by accelerating the erosion of sand from the park side of the beach.
There is a straight-forward fix: the government can use its power under the Beaches Act to declare the unprotected, western-half of Martinique Beach as an official "beach" under the terms of this act. The Beaches Act gives the government the power to protect a designated beach by extending the province's jurisdiction above the mean high tide mark in order to control "undesirable impacts on beach and associated dune systems."
Our elected officials should have the wisdom to understand that there is only one beach at Martinique, and that in order to avoid damaging the provincial park, the government must provide protection for all of Martinique Beach, including the western-most portion of the beach that lies outside the boundaries of the park.
- Leader of the Green Party
John Percy
- Leader of the New Democratic Party
Darrell Dexter
- Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party
Jamie Baillie (Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party)
- Leader of the Liberal Party
Stephen McNeil (Leader of the Liberal Party)
Dear Party Leaders,
I am writing to ask you to promise voters that if your party wins control on October 8, you will act quickly to provide complete protection for all of Martinique Beach.
The threat to Martinique Beach exists because when the province established the park, the politicians involved left a portion of the beach outside the boundaries of the park—the portion in front of the privately-owned houses and cottages above the beach.
The forces of nature are completely indifferent to legislatively-drawn property lines. As far as the ocean is concerned, there is only one beach at Martinique.
Earlier this year, we learned that one of these private property owners is planning to create a massive wall of rocks in front of his property to protect his buildings from storms. Decades of experience shows that armoring beach fronts, by changing the flow of storm waters, inevitably results in the erosion of unprotected beaches nearby—in this case, the other portion of Martinique Beach that lies inside the park boundaries.
Please tell the voters that you intend to use the Beaches Act to protect all of Martinique Beach: give the unprotected portion of the beach the status of a designated beach, and then ban any sea walls or other beach armoring on this designated beach in order to prevent damage to the entire beach, including the part of the beach lying inside the provincial park.
Thank you for protecting all of Martinique Beach.

"Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake." (John 14:8-11)
Do you ever look up at the sky and just wish you could see God? How many human beings living today have ever seen God? How many of us can say exactly what He really looks like? How many of us can say we have ever sat on His lap or talked to Him face-to-face or walked with Him on a road or watched Him feed crowds of people with a miracle meal? How many of us have ever seen God cry or bleed or eat or take off His shoes or be born?
Since God the Father is a spiritual being, He does not have a body in the same sense that people have a body. But Jesus is also God, and He came to Earth to be born in the form of a human being. Unlike spiritual beings, human beings are visible (able to be seen with human eyes).
The people who lived in Jesus' time had the opportunity to "see" God with their own eyes. Mary and Joseph saw Jesus' birth, and the shepherds were there to visit Jesus as a newborn infant. Jesus' friends and disciples had all kinds of chances to see Him live, to see how He responded to what happened around Him, to see what He could do for people, and to see how good and great He really was. Many people were watching Jesus during His last days, and both unbelievers and believers alike were amazed at His words and actions. He lived a sinless life, was crucified unjustly, and rose again from the grave! Only God could have done what Jesus did, and Jesus was God incarnate (God in the flesh, God in person). Jesus' life on Earth showed everyone the things that God the Father wanted to show about Himself. God told us about Himself in the written Word, and He showed us about Himself in the Living Word: Jesus Christ.
None of us alive today have ever gotten to see Jesus "in person," either, because He already ascended (went back up) into heaven to be with God the Father again. But it is because of what Jesus did – His perfect life, His sacrificial death, and His glorious resurrection – that we can one day "see" God ourselves. Jesus made it possible for people who trust in Him to have spiritual life! And those of us alive today may not get to meet Jesus in person until eternity, but we have the ability to read about Him and to learn more about God the Father through the story of Jesus' life and His words. Through Jesus, you might not be able to look up into the sky and "see" God with your own two eyes right now. But you can know more of what God the Father is really like because of Jesus' life, and you can look up into the sky and talk to God the Father because of what Jesus has already done.
If we know Jesus, we can know God the Father through Him.
My Response: » Do I really KNOW Jesus and God the Father, or do I just know lots of things ABOUT them? » How can I keep on learning more and more about God the Father? » Because of Jesus, am I now able to have a relationship with God the Father?
"Everything a sinning man needs he finds at the Cross."
George Campbell Morgan was born in England on December 9, 1863. Even as a child, he admired his father who was a Baptist preacher. Morgan once wrote that he had no choice but to get saved because of his father's wonderful Christian testimony.
As a child, Morgan was often sick and unable to go to school. He was tutored at home and was taught to love learning and to study hard. This love of learning would grow with him throughout his life.
When he was 10, Morgan got to hear Dwight L. Moody preach. He was so impressed by what he saw and heard that he started preaching, as well. So, he became a preacher at the age of 13. By age 15, he was traveling and preaching as often as he was able.
Then something very dangerous and difficult happened that would change the course of Morgan's life.
When G. Campbell Morgan was 19 years old, he began reading as much as he could about God and religion. Some of it was good, but much of it was wrong. A lot of it was human discussion about God and His Word, rather than God's own teaching about Himself. Very soon, Morgan got all caught up in wrong thinking about God and the Bible. He became very interested in philosophy – or the pursuit of knowledge – and unfortunately, he became even more interested than he was in the things God had written about Himself in His Word. For the next two years, Morgan refused even to read his Bible!
Finally, at age 21, God got a hold of his heart and Morgan realized he had had enough of man-made philosophy. Instead, he returned to God's Word and to trusting Christ. He spent the rest of his life preaching that God knows much more than human beings know. He wrote 60 books and 11 pamphlets. Eventually, Dwight L. Moody ended up relying on Morgan to help him in his ministry. In serving God, Morgan had the opportunity to help the man who was so used by God in his own early life as a believer.
Have you ever been tempted to trust human opinions and conclusions more than you trust God's own Word? It is possible to be smart about the world and ignorant about God.
1 Corinthians 1:27 – But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty.
Elohim Shephtim Ba'arets – The God Who Judges
Psalm 58:11 – "So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth."
Yes. 2 Corinthians 3:17 – "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
"Gospel" means "good news" and is used to describe the good news that Jesus Christ came to Earth as 100% God and 100% Man to live a perfect life, die a sacrificial death, and rise again for God's glory and for the redemption of anyone who will believe on Him. The Gospel sums up the Christian doctrines (teachings) about how Jesus Christ offers salvation from sin and sin's consequences. It is good news that sinners can repent and believe in Jesus Christ by grace through faith! Romans 10:13-15 – "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things."

Torbay Council in Devon decided it would be against its tourism policy to replace the Gleneagles Hotel in Torquay with a block of 25 flats, reports said.
John Cleese stayed at the hotel in 1971 and was fascinated with the eccentric behaviour of owner Donald Sinclair.
Cleese later described Mr Sinclair - who died in 1981 - as "the most wonderfully rude man I have ever met".
The Monty Python team stayed in the hotel while they were filming. Mr Sinclair is said to have thrown Eric Idle's suitcase out of the window thinking it was a bomb.
He is also said to have told off Terry Gilliam for not straightening his cutlery on the plate after he had eaten.
In August, developers described the building as "unattractive with little architectural merit" and offered to turn it into flats.
A staff member at the hotel told BBC News Online the 25 staff were "delighted" hotel was not being torn down, and said the hotel - which has been put up for sale - "will be open for business as normal".
He said the hotel still got a lot of customers who wanted to stay at the hotel because of its connection to the comedy.
Fawlty Towers has proved to be one of the most enduring sitcoms in TV history. Despite only running for 12 episodes, it regularly tops polls of favourite TV shows.

Organizers of the Ride for the Pass are hoping the third time is a charm.
Last year, a freak four-hour May snowstorm canceled the annual road cycling race. It had been an unusually warm spring that didn't see moisture for weeks on end, so when white stuff fell from the sky, it came as a surprise and a disappointment to the hundreds of people waiting and ready to ride.
In 2011, it was the opposite case. Snowpack on Independence Pass was 145 percent of normal, and it was just impossible for riders to reach the ghost town of Independence, where the race ends.
"We really hope people aren't discouraged by the poor record," says Mark Fuller, executive director for the Independence Pass Foundation. So far, registration is pacing to prove that people aren't leery of the weather.
In its 19th year, the Ride of the Pass is an annual pilgrimage from the winter gate, four miles east of Aspen, to Independence. The course climbs nearly 2,500 feet in 9.5 miles. Though riders can summit the pass any time they want on their own, it's the only organized cycling event of the year. And there's that whole no-car-traffic thing.
The 12,095-foot Independence Pass is closed to automobiles in late October or early November, and reopens Memorial Day weekend. So once the snow melts in May, it offers a unique opportunity for bicyclists to take advantage of the open road.
It's open to professional and recreational cyclists; the fastest riders finish in around 40 minutes, and the majority come in under two hours.
But, it's not just for fun. Ride for the Pass is one of the Independence Pass Foundation's largest fundraisers, says Fuller. Working with local, state and federal agencies, the nonprofit works on projects that maintain and enhance the ecology, beauty and safety of Independence Pass. The Colorado Department of Transportation takes care of the actual road. Projects for this summer include areas of revegetation with a compost mixture, Lake Creek trailhead improvements, the restoration of a gully near the ghost town and removal of snow-fence debris from the high tundra.
In addition to the Ride for the Pass, the city of Aspen also hosts the Aspen Cycling Criterium downtown on Sunday, May 19. Riders lap town at speeds reaching 30 mph, which make the high-energy race fun to watch. Together, Ride for the Pass and the Criterium make up the Aspen Cycling Festival.
"We like the fact that it's a weekend of biking," says Fuller.
With the introduction of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, interest in the sport has picked up in the state, he adds. While it's hard to tell if that's translated to more participants in this weekend's events, it's got a lot of people excited about bicycling in general.
"Beyond the fundraising aspect, this race is important to use because it creates awareness and appreciation for the beautiful place that we live in," says Fuller.
Here's to hoping that Mother Nature agrees.

Another great cruise: Carnival Dream Cruise Review by Retchief
Overall Member Rating
Another great cruise
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
This cruise took us to Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten. Nassau is not one of our favorite ports, and the stay is very short. This time we walked 15 minutes to Junkanoo Beach. We were pleasantly surprised. It was clean and the service provided to us was very good. We did not eat, only drank beer. In St. Thomas we took a local taxi to Coki Beach for the snorkeling, and we were not disappointed.There was excellent service by the businesses located there and the prices were good. We will go there again. In St. Maarten we decided to venture to the Orient Beach area by taking a local taxi. We were disappointed in the beach because it was a narrow beach, a lot of seaweed, and More was very crowded.Perhaps that was due to 5 ships being in the port at the same time. However, "Brothers", a "bar" located on the beach provided everything at a very reasonable price and anticipated all of our needs. We will not go to that beach area again.
All in all the cruise was great. We left cold weather and returned to colder weather. Wish we were still at Coki Beach, snorkeling and enjoying the warm sun. Less
Published 12/09/13
Cabin review:
Excellent location for access to the Lido deck, outdoor activities. Our steward and staff were outstanding.
Port and Shore Excursions
Nassau is very limited unless you want to go to Paradise Island, which is way over rated. We have discovered a couple of beaches, Cabbage Beach and Junkanoo Beach. Cabbage has a strong undertow and is not a good choice for children, but the food is good and the rum punch is terrific! Junkanoo is within easy walking distance from the ship and has food, drink and clear water with calm seas.
Both the French and Dutch sides have beaches, some better than others. Shopping appears to be limited somewhat.
Great shopping, great beaches. Magan's Bay is beautiful but crowded. Coki Beach is perfect for from the beach snorkeling and swimming. The sand is powdery and white. Shopping, what can I say. Shops with everything you can imagine, a straw market downtown that is exceptional, and many eating establishments, many owned by U.S. citizens.

The first step in creating a friendly business climate is worker's comp reform.

My name is Mark Fuller and I've been making television now for two decades. I'm based in Vancouver, BC. I've written/directed/produced across several genres, including documentary – mostly series for History, Discovery, AMC, CBC etc. My most recent project is 'Ice Pilots NWT' (writer) for Global/History and I'm about to start work on a similar doc series for History called 'Dust Up'. It follows a group of crop dusters in Saskatchewan.
More info about me on my website: www.tribunebayproductions.com . I'm looking forward to exploring this site – it looks great.

Hello friends! It's wonderful to see such a positive use of the internet in a forum like this- too often it is the negative that receives all my attention.
Anyway, I'm a young filmmaker living between Richmond, Virginia and Nairobi, Kenya at the moment working on a project to develop education and filmmaking in both places. My dedication is just that: inform the youth of our world as to the power they have with digital media at their disposal. I anticipate one day seeing a world where everyone owns some form of a camera, where media is completely democratized, where the title 'documentarian' is synonymous with 'human' or, more politically, 'citizen'.
I am happy to find a group of like-minded people, and I wish you all the best of luck in your endeavors!

Hi Doc folk – My name is Christopher Morris – live and work in wales – 20 years (so far) making docs for British TV – but in 2003 took a left hand turn and went into University – I now run Newport Film School (set up by John Grierson in 1966 – www.newport.ac.uk) Newport has been producing nearly fifty years worth of Documentary filmmakers! Really interested in contacting old Newport Alumni. Hello John Burgan!!!

Chris is being typically modest about his achievements, both as an award-winning film-maker and also the fact that the doc film course he set up (and which I have just inherited) is rated as one of the very best in the UK.
Not sure if there are many Newport Alumni at The D-Word, Chris, but would be interesting to track them down – check out the search tool
Fri 22 Oct 2010
Hello all,
Happy to be joining the group!
My wife (editor Jody Jorgensen) and I are forming STORY, a two-person production company to produce docs of a few flavors, but mainly promos and performance docs for the arts. We lived in NYC for five years and loved working on a few docs and a couple of low-budget narratives – mostly post, mostly FCP editing. In the last couple of years, Jorgensen and I have been filming arts projects in development (mostly opera and musicals) – kind of a cross between promotional shorts and behind-the-scenes doc shorts ... we're hoping that one of these projects will turn into a doc feature.
Looking forward to being part of these great discussions!

Feel free to inquire. Blessings & keep up the great work.

My name is Jennifer Campbell, I'm 22 (and three quarters) and I am a personal, reflexive, documentary filmmaker. I just graduated with my BFA in film in my home state of Florida, and started my first year of Graduate Documentary production at Hofstra. I'm not liking this cold weather! Also in the last year I documented my journey to find my mother. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXTGRSZt9YA It's unlisted so you'll have to click the link to find it.
I am looking forward to connecting with other documentarians. I think this is an incredibly tool for what we do.

In reply to Erica Ginsberg's post on Wed 13 Oct 2010 :
Hi Erica, Julia, and Doug – Thanks for the welcome back (even though I'm now a couple weeks delinquent in responding!) Anyway, Erica to answer your question the subject of the current film IS Grace Lee Boggs, whom I met while making the Grace Lee Project. I knew back when I met her 10 years ago that I wanted to revisit her story specifically and that I'd better do it before, as she puts it, "loses her marbles." I don't think there's any danger in that happening quite yet- she is still amazingly sharp at 95 and keeps on asking and living the hard questions. Unfortunately, I am still asking myself the hard question of how I'm going to get this film funded and finished...but I will probably ask others in the Funding section for advice! Btw, Doug, I showed 51 Birch Street in a personal documentary class I taught last spring and the students were riveted. Great film. I look forward to seeing your latest.

Welcome to The D-Word Corps, Cy! I'm sure our Teaching Docs topic will be perfect for you.

To Grace Lee ~ I rented 'The Grace Lee Project' on iTunes. Wonderful!
And great that you are doing an update with Grace Lee Boggs.
Q. Will you get a piece of my $3.99 (Canadian)? I gather more would have gone to you had I purchased the DVD through WMM, but I'm not working at the moment and am trying, in general, not to own too much stuff. Really loved the film.

I produced and co-directed (with Bill Weber) THE COCKETTES, which was a 2002 Sundance film, and recipient of the LA Film Critics Award for Best Documentary of 2002.
I have a newly completed film WE WERE HERE which is about the coming of AIDS to San Francisco in the early 1980s. WE WERE HERE has already been invited to Berlin, and I'm sure like many others here, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Sundance.
I've been a (mostly) San Francisco based filmmaker for a LONG time.

Hey D-Word. I've got a doc project in mind. Tell me what ya'll think: Whenever people talk about New Orleans they say, "it's such a wonderful city. The music is great, the food is great, and the culture . . ." That's all true, but it doesn't capture why this city is important. New Orleans is magic. For real. A primordial groove seeps down all the streets. Even the buzzing locusts and the dripping drain pipes keep a rhythm. New Orleans moves you, whoever you are.
But this is a city in crises. The wetlands are sinking at the rate of one football field every 38 minutes. Without the wetlands, we have no protection from hurricanes. In order to save this city, a lot of money and time needs to be spent on rebuilding the wetlands. This isn't happening nearly as quickly as it needs to be.
Many films have been made on this topic, the most recent being the Big Uneasy. But most of what's been done focuses on the political problems and the higher-up people in charge.
I would like to make a mood-doc, akin to Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, about the feeling of New Orleans. I want to give people around the country a sense of why this city is a cultural epicenter, why it's vital to our American identity, and why it's so wierd wild and wonderful.
If anybody wants to help or contribute ideas, let me know.

The World of Odysseus: Second Edition (Penguin history)
Are the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey" just charming poetic fantasies? Or do they give a more or less accurate picture of the Mycenaean period, the early Dark Age of Homer's own era? Do archaeological discoveries like Schliemann's excavations at Troy bear out Homer's account of the Trojan war? The author offers an analysis of Homer's depiction of kinship and community, Helen and Hector, morals and values, Paris, Priam and the gods.
