CARMEL MOUNTAIN – All lanes of Interstate 15 will be closed at 9 Sunday night to allow construction crews to demolish and remove the middle portion of the Carmel Mountain Road bridge.
The freeway will reopen at 5 a.m. Monday.
Over the next several weeks, the bridge will be torn down in stages to make room for a longer one able to span four commuter lanes being built in the median. The direction of traffic in the four lanes will be reversed depending on demand. The lanes are the major part of a massive I-15 redesign intended to help alleviate rush-hour traffic familiar to the more than 300,000 drivers who pass through the area each weekday.
The I-15 project won't be completed for several years, but California Department of Transportation officials say motorists should notice less congestion by the end of 2007.
During Sunday night's closure detours will be used:
-Southbound and northbound motorists will be taken off I-15 at the Carmel Mountain Road off-ramps and immediately directed back onto the freeway using the on-ramps across the street. There is no detour onto local streets for motorists using the freeway.
-Motorists who normally use the Carmel Mountain Road bridge will be directed to Ted Williams Parkway/State Route 56 to access I-15. "This closure is necessary in order for our contractor to get in and take down the middle bridge deck and support columns to make way for a new and better bridge at this location," Caltrans Resident Engineer Abu-Bakr Al-Jafri said.
Al-Jafri said the demolition would result in some noise to neighboring residents. He added the freeway closure was necessary because the bridge cannot be demolished when there is traffic.
"We thank the public for their patience and understanding . . . ," he said.
Caltrans will try to minimize disruption to the public during the closure. For information on this and other project closures, call the I-15 Managed Lanes Hotline at (866) 890-1397.

Debate Rebate: Do the Differences Matter?
Liberty: Last night in Ohio, the sparring over health care revealed a genuine policy difference as well as a genuine difference of debate style. Hillary's plan is more pure. A mandate would cover many more people. Barack's plan is a little more convoluted. He must explain — if mandates are so bad, why does he have them for children?
But, I felt that Hillary's point got lost in her delivery and her frustration was palpable. Hillary attempted to highlight the merits of her plan:
We have enough money in our plan. A comparison of the plans . . . found that actually I would cover nearly everybody at a much lower cost than Senator Obama's plan because we would not only provide these health care tax credits, but I would limit the amount of money that anyone ever has to pay for a premium to a low percentage of your income. So it will be affordable.
Wow. Those are strong, but complicated, arguments. And, Barack continued to dodge a square punch. To see how
Obama said:
I have consistently said that Senator Clinton's got a good health care plan. I think I have a good health care plan. I think mine is better, but I have said that 95 percent of our health care plan is similar.
By raising the debate to a more abstract level, Barack diffused the idea that their differences matter.
I have a feeling that Hillary's fervor for healthcare pleases her supporters, but I wonder if it translates well to undecided voters. A regular citizen, not well versed in policy jargon, may be appeased by Obama's assurances that he will make health care affordable. Hillary's criticisms, backed up with detailed support, may go over viewers' heads.
Are you convinced that differences matter?
And don't forget to check out Citizen's thoughts on the "first lady" question also raised last night.

Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
Independence Avenue at 7th Street, SW
Washington, DC
Level 2 Floor Plan
In this unprecedented 2-part exhibition The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, and the Moving Image, the Hirshhorn takes an in-depth look at moving-image art works by a range of influential and emerging international artists who use film language to explore the ever-increasing impact of the cinematic on our perceptions on what is real and what is illusion.
In Part I - Dreams, artists employ the technology and techniques of cinema to recall the dream-like state induced by film viewing. For these artists, this is a state that transports viewers from their daily lives to a place where the definition and awareness of reality is called into question. Like the thrilling journey visitors might take in an amusement park's dark ride where they willingly suspend their disbelief or the transporting effect of stepping through a red curtain into another world, the cinema has always had the ability to affect people in powerful ways. To experience the exhibition, viewers move through a series of artist installations arranged like a labyrinth of chambers that encompasses the entire 2nd floor, evoking a sense of passage through different stages of consciousness. Such artists as Douglas Gordon, Andy Warhol, Rodney Graham, and Seibren Versteeg conjure passageways to the dream world while Darren Almond, Christoph Girardet, and Tony Oursler access the darker recesses of the imagination reached during deep sleep. Chiho Aoshima, Michael Bell-Smith, Teresa Hubbard/Alexander Birchler, Kelly Richardson, and Harun Farocki offer a return to consciousness and, perhaps, what is the real world. Along the way, viewers may abandon the sensibilities that drive waking hours -- the urgency of time and the distinct dimensions of space -- and become "lost" in a 3-D dreamscape.

Posted 06/25/09 • Media Contact: Latarsha Gatlin (603) 646-3661
The United States has environmental, political, and security interests and responsibilities in the North and it should play a key role in preserving the Arctic ecosystem, says a report co-sponsored by the Dickey Center for International Understanding, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the University of the Arctic.
U.S. policymakers need to act quickly in order to save the Arctic, according to a report released yesterday by Dartmouth's Dickey Center for International Understanding, the Carnegie Endowment and the University of the Arctic.
The report states that the accelerating pace of climate change, increasing competition over resources, and new territorial claims are creating pressures on the region, and offers recommendations for corrective action.
Released at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, D.C., the report is the culmination of discussions coordinated by the UArctic Institute of Applied Circumpolar Policy at Dartmouth between several dozen international Arctic experts last December. During the three days of meetings at Dartmouth, academic scholars, policy makers, shipping and energy experts, and representatives of indigenous peoples met for round-table discussions on the Arctic.
"The report has been greeted with enthusiasm by a wide range of experts who have worked on issues related to the Arctic," said Barry Scherr, Dartmouth's Provost and a member of the UArctic Board of Governors. "Ken Yalowitz, Director of the Dickey Center, and Ross Virginia, who directs the Institute of Arctic Studies, are to be congratulated for making Dartmouth a major focal point for study of the Arctic region."
David Balton, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, and Julie Gourley, the Senior U.S. Arctic Official, were present for the report's release. The report states that the United States has environmental, political, and security interests and responsibilities in the North and it should play a key role in preserving the Arctic ecosystem. The report makes the following recommendations:
"Large-scale damage to the Arctic from transportation accidents, energy development, fishing, and pollutants from the south pose greater immediate threats than classic security issues. Existing emergency response systems and contingency plans are not up to the task," the report states.

Johannesburg - RMB Holdings (RMBH, RMH) said on Tuesday it expects headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the six months
ended December to be 24% to 32% lower than the 179.2 cents per share earned for the previous comparable half-year.
Normalised earnings per share are expected to be 30% to 38% lower than last year's 174.4 cents per share.
RMBH said that as its investment in financial services group FirstRand (FSR) produces the bulk of its earnings, it was anticipated that the impact outlined in a trading statement issued by FirstRand earlier Tuesday would, to a large extent, flow through into RMBH's results for the half year to 31
December 2008 and for the year ending 30 June 2009.
FirstRand said that a combination of an acceleration of bad debts in the retail businesses combined with losses incurred in the investment bank will negatively impact the group's earnings for the full year to the end of June 2009.
"RMBH's other investments have in the main performed in line with the guidance given to shareholders at the time of publishing the company's 2008 annual report in middle September 2008," RMBH said.
"However, the bespoke portfolio of emerging market financial shares in which RMBH has invested and which is managed on our behalf by a leading independent manager, did not escape the upheaval in international markets during October 2008. In the process the portfolio, which was valued at R650m at the beginning of the financial year, lost some R250m of its value.
"Should current market conditions persist to the 31 December 2008 reporting date, this loss will need to be recorded in the portfolio for the six month period. The existence of the portfolio and its composition is continuously evaluated and refined.
"This loss and, to a lesser extent, the cost of the funding raised and shares issued by RMBH to fund the acquisition of our additional interest in Discovery during November 2007, as well as the random impact of treasury share eliminations, will have a further dampening effect on RMBH's results," RMBH added.
Details of RMBH's interim results for the six months ending on 31 December 2008 are expected to be released on SENS and published in the press on or about 11 March 2009.

The latest edition of our newsletter looks at commmunities taking risks for peace.
Two women's groups from different sides of the community and based in areas which have witnessed some of the worst of the Troubles have started working together to bring about long-term positive change within their local communities.
The Project, which started in 2009, is a 3-year cross-community initiative called Understanding Our Space, Celebrating Diversity. It is being driven by women from Ballysally, a predominantly Unionist estate in Coleraine and women from Creevagh, a mainly Nationalist estate in Londonderry/Derry. Both areas have suffered and continue to suffer from sectarianism, violence and intimidation.
The Project began with the two groups coming together to take part in a residential weekend at An Teach Ban, a residential community relations centre in County Donegal where initial steps were made to address the challenge of celebrating diversity and emphasising similarities as a continuum.
Brendan Patterson, Manager of Focus on Family, the Coleraine partner in the Project, who oversees the Project and has a long tradition in delivering cross- community and cultural work, explains how the Project came about: "What is important from the start was that the need for the Project came from the participants rather than it being imposed on them. From the start there was a clear desire and willingness from the women in the original group to start the process of engagement and to establish a dialogue with their counterparts in other communities. This was driven by a real desire to see long-term change within their neighbourhoods and to move away from the old sectarian attitudes that have been prevalent for the decades of civil unrest.
"At the start of the Project it was important to introduce participants to the process of reconciliation gently so that differences could be explored and the mystique of perceptions of other traditions could be ironed out. This was to be fundamental to the success of the overall project and in getting everyone on board and building interest for year two.
"We hoped that the initial contact would have a ripple effect and encourage interest and participation from the wider community. Already interest and excitement in this project is remarkable - men as well as women now want to become involved in this vision of a shared space whereby we celebrate diversity and ensure maximum participation for the benefit of all."

A Devon farmer was able to carry out an audacious fraud involving crops grown on imaginary fields in the mid-Atlantic, the North Sea, Greenland and Iceland because of "appallingly lax controls" by the Government.
A highly critical report published by a committee of MPs today says that Joseph Bowden deceived officials for two years and made dishonest subsidy claims of £157,000.
He was able to claim at least twice for different crops on the same piece of land because there was no cross-checking of claims between the £860 million arable area payments scheme and the £8 million fibre flax scheme.
Bowden then persuaded contractors that he was unable to deliver processed flax or seed corresponding to the subsidy payments because fires had destroyed his barns and their contents in January 1995, January 1996 and December 1996.
He also claimed £26,000 through private insurance for the fires. Government inspectors repeatedly visited his farm at Heanton, near Barnstaple, yet his fraud went unnoticed until an anonymous informer contacted the former Intervention Board, which oversaw flax subsidies.
But the bulk of Bowden's fraudulent activities came to light only through the chance transfer of a member of staff, who was aware of the tip-off, from the Intervention Board to the former Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries.
Because map references for fields were not always required or checked by the ministry, Bowden claimed £126,000 in subsidies for land that did not exist or which was many miles from Britain.
The ministry also indicated a willingness to pay £84,000 towards the building of a barn that already existed.
Bowden was jailed for 30 months in 2000 after admitting deception, attempted deception and false accounting between 1994 and 1996.
Only £1,325 was returned to the taxpayer and the Government gave up trying to recoup any more money.
Edward Leigh, the chairman of the public accounts committee, said that many of the former ministry's shortcomings had yet to be addressed by its replacement, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Newly established safeguards were not enough to prevent similar frauds.
"This is a tale of appallingly lax control systems," he said. "The public bodies involved were slow to identify the fraud, slow to determine its full extent and slow to take recovery action."
Another committee member, the Liberal Democrat MP David Rendel, said: "This is just one example of a consistent failure by the Government to check up on the authenticity of claims for agricultural subsidies."
Since the case a new body, the Rural Payments Agency, has been set up to administer subsidies. It checks for duplicate claims.
A digital mapping scheme is also being implemented to form a rural land register that should prevent farmers from claiming for land that does not exist.
A spokesman for the agency said that an official Government response would be given when the report had been fully studied.

Macroeconomics of structural adjustment and public finances in developing countries: A heterodox perspective
Purpose - This essay aims to analyze the process of structural adjustment in developing countries. Its focus is on macroeconomic stabilization in the short-term, but the analysis is situated in a wider context to consider how it relates to the implications of structural reform in the medium-term and the prospects for economic growth in the long-term. Design/methodology/approach - The paper begins by setting out the contours of the orthodox, the Keynesian and the heterodox perspectives on stabilization and adjustment to highlight the differences. Such different perspectives on macroeconomic theory and policy, it suggests, are attributable to differences in objectives, assumptions and beliefs. These are made explicit. Findings - The paper argues that the relationship between stabilization and growth is characterized by inter-connections rather than trade-offs and suggests that outcomes depend on modes of adjustment. It also provides a macroeconomic analysis of government deficits and public finances, which are critical in the process of adjustment. This highlights the macroeconomic significance of government deficits and points to the fallacies of deficit fetishism based on accounting frameworks. The intersection of economics and politics in the design and implementation of macroeconomic policies is also explored. Practical implications - Going beyond a critique of orthodox stabilization programmes, it shows that there are alternatives in macro-management for economies in crisis, for which it is necessary to shift the focus from the financial to the real economy, from the short-term to the long-term, and from equilibrium to development. Originality/value - The paper develops a heterodox perspective on the macroeconomics of structural adjustment and public finances. And, it sets out an alternative framework which straddles time horizons, to understand the restructuring of economies over time.

THE CASE: An 83-year-old woman is brought by her daughter for evaluation because of increasing confusion during the past few days. The patient has early Alzheimer dementia, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. She takes donepezil, 10 mg/d; lisinopril, 5 mg/d; and glipizide, 5 mg bid. She is unable to bathe and dress herself as well as previously, has been crying for no apparent reason, and has lost her appetite.
The patient has lost 6 lb in the past 3 weeks and appears more anxious and confused than usual. Her score on the Mini-Mental State Examination is 18, a loss of 3 points since the last visit. She is afebrile; her heart rate is 92 beats per minute. Palpation of the abdomen elicits slight wincing. There is no costovertebral angle tenderness. Lungs are clear and skin is intact. The remainder of the examination is unremarkable.
A complete blood cell (CBC) count, chemistry 7 panel, and urinalysis with culture and sensitivity determination are ordered. A chest radiograph is not ordered because there are no localizing symptoms. No treatment is given on the day of evaluation. The patient's daughter is told to watch for heightened confusion and to be sure her mother's fluid intake is increased pending results of laboratory testing.
Acute confusion in elderly persons, especially those with dementia, has a wide differential diagnosis. The most common causes are infection (principally respiratory tract, urinary tract, or skin); new medications; and electrolyte disturbance. Because this patient had not started any new medications, the laboratory workup is likely to be revealing.
Laboratory results show a normal CBC count with no leukocytosis. The chemistry 7 panel reveals a slightly higher blood urea nitrogen level than usual (24 vs 15 mg/dL) and a normal serum creatinine level, which indicates mild dehydration. The urinalysis shows bacteriuria and pyuria; culture results are pending.
How is urinary tract infection (UTI) best managed in elderly persons?

T Rex began as a two piece group with Marc Bolan and percussionist Steve Peregrin Took the duo originally experimenting with eccentric mythical folk music. Influenced and helped by DJ John Peel they enjoyed modest success during 1968 on radio and record releasing three LPs and a single "Deborah" which reached No34 in the charts. In October 1969 due to songwriting rifts Bolan sacked Took and replaced him with Mickey Finn (percussion) ; later adding band members Bill Legend (drums) / Steve Currie (bass) thereby creating the classic lineup of T Rex. During the early 1970s the group enjoyed massive commercial success scoring ten Top 5 hits (including four No1s) ; Hot Love / Get it On / Telegram Sam and Metal Guru. Marc Bolan was tragically killed aged just 29 in a freak car accident in his own Mini Cooper being driven by his then girlfriend singer Gloria Jones on 16th September 1977.A superb circa 1977 autograph book page clearly signed in ballpoint by Marc Bolan.

Halloween Hootenanny – Live At The Family Arena
The Gruesome Twosome and their Halloween Hootenanny show come to St. Charles, Missouri in horrific fashion. It's definitely a scary costume clad crowd. You feel as though you're sitting in the end zone at an Oakland Raider game or on Bourbon St. for Halloween. It was an unusually warm autumn night at the Family Arena but there was nothing "family" about this concert. The Murderdolls, Alice Cooper, and Rob "Mother Fucking" Zombie brought their freak show to the Midwest so that all of us evil rock fans could enjoy a night of mayhem. If you're asking what's up with the MF in Rob Zombie's name, then you've obviously never been to a Zombie concert. Dressed up as a cross between Klingons and KISS, the Murderdolls opened up this demonic festival and they didn't disappoint. While promoting their new album Women & Children Last, former Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison is pulling double duty for the night. He plays guitar for Murderdolls and drums for Rob Zombie. Tommy Clufetos was the former drummer for Rob Zombie but left after Ozzy Osbourne unscrupulously lured him away. Rob is quoted as saying "the greatest thing to happen was (Tommy) hitting the road and Joey coming in and replacing him because it is always great to replace somebody with a better drummer." The fans agree, Rob. Wednesday 13 is the lead vocalist for Murderdolls and half way through his show he says: "For those of you just arriving…we are not Bon Jovi, we are the Murderdolls." He then follows up by belting out another horror punk metal tune. Although they have had limited success in the U.S., their initial album Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls and their singles have charted well in the UK and Japan. For an opening act these guys rocked. Alice Cooper was next to take the stage. As the roadies set up behind the skull clad curtain you could see the old fogies in the crowd getting excited. Could this 62 (yes 62) year old man still rock? After opening with "School's Out" the answer is yes he can…but he needs a ton of lavish costumes, props, and death scenes to do it. Throughout the night Alice gets his head lopped off by a guillotine, crushed by an iron maiden, stabbed to death with a giant syringe, beaten to death by sexy Goth Nurse Rozetta (played by his daughter), and hung from the gallows. You can't help but be amazed by the energy of this senior citizen as he bellows out hit after hit during his theatrical performance. His energy even translated to the pit for some heavy moshing during "No More Mr. Nice Guy." Alice ends the night with "I'm Eighteen," almost daring Rob Zombie to top him. Rob starts the night with his composition "Sawdust in the Blood" written for the show Band of Brothers which leads in to his rockin' tune "Jesus Frankenstein" from Hellbilly Deluxe 2. The venue becomes violent and security has its hands full for the rest of the evening. The 45 year old rock star appears from a 20 foot tall evil robot dressed in skeletal uniform complete with his giant skeleton hand. His 18 song setlist seemed to fly by. The most surprising thing of the night was how cool and mellow Rob actually is. The musician, film director, screen writer, and film producer's personality and intelligence is evident throughout the show. He tells us early in the night that we are the smallest venue of the tour but we sure are loud. Prior to Rob covering the first White Zombie song of the night, there was a young man in the pit who kept holding his prosthetic leg in the air. Mr. Zombie notices the man and promptly tells him that he better put that leg back on. He also includes that he is going to need that leg because it's going to get ugly down there. That's when the crowd begins to hear "More Human Than Human" and everybody goes crazy. Rob wails out a few more heavy tunes before he engages the crowd further. He starts egging the women on and telling them that the Jonas Brother fans give it up easier than them. One girl in the front sitting on her man's shoulders starts taunting the band by beginning to lift her shirt. Guitarist John 5 begins to dare her by pulling out his cell phone to take a pic. Apparently Rob was right about the Jonas fans because this girl didn't come through but the giant screens on stage lit up with porn and the band began "Pussy Liquor." Following "Pussy Liquor," Mr. Zombie is about to slug out a couple more White Zombie covers until guess who shows up - Mr. Prosthetic Leg. He starts waving his leg in the air and Rob is completely befuddled. He asks the man, "What, do you want to give me your leg? You know what? Just give me the damn thing because you are obviously not responsible enough to be trusted with your own limbs." Rob then jokingly takes the man's leg on stage briefly before returning it. Good thing the man had his leg back because the pit becomes maniacal during "Super-Charger Heaven" and "Thunder Kiss '65." At this point Alice Cooper joins the stage to sing "School's Out" with Rob. The crowd loved the camaraderie and respect between the two and the tune sounded great. The night begins to come to a close as Rob belts out a couple more songs and comes out for his encore of "House of 1000 Corpses." It is now just past the city mandated curfew of 11:00 pm for concerts so the show must come to a close unless you are Rob "MF" Zombie. He and the band arrive back on stage and Rob tells us that "this song is going to cost us a lot of money so I hope you enjoy it. If it was up to us we'd play all night." He appropriately leaves us with "Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Kroovy)." The Director of Operations at the Family Arena could not be reached for comment on the amount of the fine Rob Zombie had to pay for playing past the city's curfew. No matter how large or how little the fine was Mr. Zombie, we, the smallest venue, are now your largest fans.

Irrigating a child's eye to wash out a toxic substance can be difficult. An effective way for a parent to do this is to put the child in the bathtub, turn on the water, and let the water run onto his or her own arm, starting at the elbow and running down to the hand. If the parent then holds his fingers over the child's eye while gently opening the lid, the water will run down his arm, off the tip of his index finger, and into the child's slightly opened eye.

Sunday, March 6
When news of the refugee exodus from the civil war in Syria first emerged, local filmmaker Elias Matar felt compelled to help. So in September of last year, he joined other international volunteers in assisting the refugees on their treacherous journey north. As a Syrian-American born in California, and having spent 15 years living in Syria, Elias felt a personal connection to the refugees, and was committed to documenting their remarkable stories of survival and determination.
"My parents come from Syria and for me to see the Syrians coming this way, it's really painful for me because they struggled a lot in the last 5 years and I see on their faces when they cross these borders, I see the fear in their eyes."
The result of this labor of love is the documentary Flight of the Refugees, which All Saints Church will screen on Sunday, March 6 at 1 p.m. in the Forum — and we are honored to bejoined by filmmaker Elias Matar for a discussion following the film.
Matar's dramatic, emotionally moving account stands in striking counterpoint to the pernicious political meme that all Syrian refugees must be refused entry to the United States to protect Americans against terrorism. On the contrary, the film presents a vivid case that they should be welcomed with compassion.
For more information contact Ada Ramirez at (626) 583-2734 or email@example.com

Many of you probably know this extra-gross portion of my story, but my XH and I were on the verge of trying to conceive when I had my A. I was caught literally a week before I was going to (reluctantly) end the A so we could start TTC.
Every time I type that, I feel so sick. Looking back, I cannot believe I was so twisted and selfish. XH said we could start in January of 2010. I was deep in the A at that time. I put him off, gave a partially B.S. excuse about wanting to take a few months' worth of folic acid before starting to try, said "Let's wait until March." I remember the look on XH's face when, after D-day, he asked me if that was one of the reasons I had put him off until March---so I could continue the A---and I said yes. Holy shit, I was so unbelievably selfish.
Had I not cheated, we'd possibly be parents to a 2-year-old right now. I'd be a mom...something I've wanted more than anything my whole life...except for that period of time when I wanted the OM more.
I'm nearly 32...not past childbearing years by a long shot, but I have a medical condition (dx'd post-divorce) that might complicate things (I'm praying not). Our reconciliation is going well. But I mentally kick myself constantly. All my friends now have kids. My good friend (not the one XH had a post-D relationship with; her SIL) was pregnant during my A. I didn't meet her daughter until she (daughter) was 2. I missed so much.
I feel like a loser because I don't have a child. Because of why I don't have a child. I am likely not a mother because I preferred to lie and cheat than to make a family with my then-husband. So disgusting. And it triggers me every year.

"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." - J. Wayne
I look at my DD3 and I occasionally feel a pang of sadness that I'm not the mom I set out to be for her - I'm a different person now. Also, I was supposed to have my second by now, but much like the thread in R those plans got put on ice.
I've gotten to the point where I don't blame FWH for this, though. I chose this path in life, and this is where it has led me. I can either look back and point fingers and lament what could have been, or I can make the best of right now and focus my energy on where I want to go. (At least, I STRIVE to look at things like this.)
I want to give you a big hug for your pain and regret. I also want to reassure you that being the best person and partner you can be in this new chance with your XH may yield big blessings you could never have imagined.
[This message edited by Jrazz at 11:24 PM, May 11th (Saturday)]
being the best person and partner you can be in this new chance with your XH may yield big blessings you could never have imagined.
I too have pains on Mother's Day. The time and attention I took away from my kids to have an A, how badly I hurt their father, that I threw my kids family and safe happy childhood away (BH is helping me rescue those things).
I can run away from these feelings or I can face them and let them strengthen my resolve to be the best mother I can be for these beautiful kids I've been blessed with.
It seems to me you are doing the same work now.
I edit often to fix stuff ☺
Profoundly grateful Every. Single. Day. that I am blessed with an H with strength, integrity, and compassion, and that he decided to try.
Just think how much better of a mom you will be now vs before. You have a much stronger appreciation for what is important in life. Your future children will benefit greatly from that.
Think positive and dwell on what you have learned!
I know your plans were different; we learned God sometimes laughs at plans.
Your bab(ies) will be so worth the wait, as agonizing as it is.
Infidelity changed the timing of #2 for us. He was the boy meant for us-- no doubt about it.
I am truly sorry for your pain, and wish the very best for you.

In a way, I'd like to think that, had things gone according to "plan" back then, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant anyway...God knew I wasn't ready to be a mother then...my extreme selfishness was not compatible with the selflessness needed for parenthood, for sure. So in that way, and even in others, I'm sort of glad I'm currently childless, odd as it may sound. I still have a lot of work on myself left to do before I'll be ready for the most important work (IMO) on Earth.
I just hope I'll get the chance one day.

MissNowhere, Ihav2fart, squidward, and another guy & i forgot his name but he was Asian xD
I mean seriously its all so sad.
I don't keep up with the shit that happens on GaG so I don't know 99% of the people that leave so i'm sorry if anyone who left isn't here because either I don't know them or I don't know they left
Also, i'm extremely aware there's tons of wonderful people on GaG, I would know myself, but i'm not talking about the wonderful active people, i'm talking about the wonderful inactive people...
Most Helpful Guy
To say there was the best GAGers left would mean that everyone else is a subpar GAGer lol, which I don't think this is the case. Yeah-- MissNowhere, Ihav2fart, Squidward (though he is back), Keyspirits, Illusive_Man, KDA20 were some "popular" members... but people come and people go. 'Tis the way of the internet.
There are still plenty of cool people on the site that have been here for awhile. There are still plenty of cool people becoming more active on the site that people are noticing more and more. I don't think there is a "best" GAGer.
Anyway, the reasons for each one becoming inactive...
MissNowhere -- GAG was overtaking her life. She needed to stop the addiction to it before it became her life. Maybe one day she'll be back.
Ihav2fart -- MissNowhere left. Maybe one day he'll be back but I'm guessing probably not.
Squidward -- He deactivated because GAG was taking too much time away, but then he came back anyway hahaha
Illusive_Man -- He was becoming less and less active for awhile. Most likely he got bored of it all.
Keyspirits -- He messaged people saying he was leaving, but I don't think he gave a reason to why.
KDA20 -- He left a question saying it was time to move on. However, on his last opinion, he expressed his annoyance at the mytake promotion system. Rather, he wrote a quality mytake about a debatable topic (hard drugs and legalization) and it wasn't promoted while he saw things like "my top five nail colors" be promoted.43|10|0
I meant to say some of the best. I love equally most of the people on GaG and most of them or so great. I'm not comparing anyone or saying anyone is inferior or superior or anything. And Illusive is the guy I was thinking of, I don't know a lot of the gagers who left and don't really keep up (I found out these people left from someone else) so i'm not saying any of the ones who left whom i don't know are not as great of people. And I totally agree with KDA20. GaG is becoming cliche and its beginning to suck more and more
- Show AllShow Less
You want me to explain my whatever?
obviously thats evident, I don't live underneath a rock you know. But what do you mean by saying i'm one of the "leftovers"?

Somebody else is calling Amour what it is: propaganda for euthanasia.
Back in the '70s the tear-jerker movies were about people dying of cancer. In the '80s and '90s, it was people dying of AIDS. For the 21st century, the new chic is euthanasia/assisted suicide/"mercy killing" movies. Million Dollar Baby, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, The English Patient, The Sea Inside, Un Dimanche à Kigali, Le Temps qui Reste, The Barbarian Invasion (Les Invasions Barbares), Magnus – all have taken on euthanasia/assisted suicide/"mercy killing" from the point of view of non-disabled white people and come to the same conclusion; great idea!
I am still amazed at the lack of any kind of outrage at the ending of Amour. This is, after all, a movie in which the husband smothers his wife in the end. That is, after all, murder. And yet, no one in the whole Oscar landscape even noted the fact. I choked when the Oscar speech introducing Amour told us all, "This is a movie that showed us all what real love looks like." REALLY!?!?! "Real love" smothers the beloved with a pillow?! No, never. EVER.

LONG BEACH >> The city's Water Commission approved new conservation efforts on Feb. 27 that include restricting irrigation of lawns to three days a week.
The plan restricts restaurants from serving water unless it is asked for by a customer and limits watering yards to 10 minutes on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays for standard sprinkler heads that emit one or more gallons per minute. If a stream, rotator-type sprinkler or other gear-driven sprinkler heads are used, watering will be limited to 20 minutes per authorized day.
The city already prohibits watering lawns with potable water between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. and washing cars with hoses that do not have shut-off nozzles.
In the city's lawn-to-garden program to save water, the city offers residents $3 per square foot up to 1,000 square feet to replace their lawns with California native, drought-resistant plants.
In the past 30 years, potable water use in Long Beach has decreased by 21 percent while the population has increased by 22 percent, according to city data. Water use dropped from 173 gallons per person per day to 113 gallons in the same period.
Overall, officials say, local water conservation efforts seem to be making an impact.
"Long Beach led all of Southern California (in 2007)," said Kevin Wattier, general manager of the Long Beach Water Department. "We dropped usage 17 percent in two years, and that's the cumulative effort of everyone doing everything they can think of (to save water)."

Everybody should have a happy place or a tranquil spot to retreat to whenever life throws a curve ball. If an idyllic cottage on the lake isn't at your disposal, you could always "pull a Vashti" and leave for the highlands and sidelands of Scotland and Ireland like Ms. Bunyan did at the onset of the 1970s after her solo career failed to materialize the way everybody expected. Note: one can suppose that if Bunyan had a particular taste for fur rugs and [Mars Bars like another of Andrew Loog Oldham's ingénues, she might have made a bigger splash, but that's another speculative story for another speculative time.]
One of Bunyan's labelmates at FatCat is Norwegian artist Silje Nes, who creates similarly spectacular intimate "feel" music, proving handily that while guys may have the wussy mall-rock market cornered, the gals just cannot be beat at crafting highly integrated, emotive, personal, inviting, heartbreaking, berserk... well, you get the picture. Then there is Nes' pitch witchery; she makes someone like Hope Sandoval sound like a mongrel dog with a throat box and a bad case of crotch rot. She cannot be heard without envisioning an angel astride a gossamer-winged unicorn swooshing around near a silk-tasseled rainbow. Yes, that good.
Nes' debut album, Ames Room, was written and recorded in spontaneous creative bursts using a healthy host of instruments, electronics, and found sounds. It is, frankly, peerlessly beautiful. Those with a particular penchant for imported models can pick up the UK/European album now, but those who prefer to build anticipation and wait for such things in a timely manner can realize their delay-engrossed goals on February 26 in North America.
"…an angel astride a gossamer-winged unicorn swooshing around near a silk-tasseled rainbow"? What the hell? One week in, and it looks like I have already blown my resolution to actually make some sense this year!.

General Question
How do you deal with discrimination/hate?
In your life, did a person ever actually tell you that they just don't like you? Have you personally ever been victimized based solely on the person just not liking you? I have taken silent abuse from people in my life and I had thoughts of extreme violence and murder towards such persons, but I dealt with it by saying one day God will deal with my enemies. Sometimes today, I have flashbacks about those situations and I try to prevent myself from being taken advantaged of again by promising to stand up for myself. In some cases, especially on the job, that can be a very tricky thing because I may be getting reprimanded from someone on the job, and by me retaliating can cause me to loose that job. My question to you is this, how do you deal with victimization, discrimination/hate?

Debate Over Driver's License For Illegals In Oregon
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon legislators have begun hearing public testimony on a proposal that would grant short-term driver's licenses to people who live in the country illegally. The Senate Business and Transportation Committee drew a large crowd yesterday to testify on Senate Bill 833. Under the bill, immigrants who have lived in Oregon for at least a year and meet other requirements would be eligible for four-year driver's licenses without proving U.S. citizenship. The license could not be used to vote, board a plane or purchase a firearm. Supporters have said the proposal would help make Oregon roads safer.

- Try to avoid selling your stamps to people who offer to come to your home.

At Sun's invitation, I spent an hour with EVP and manager of Sun's System's group, John Fowler yesterday. Surprisingly, the meeting came just a week before Sun announces its FYQ1 numbers. Normally, when a company lets you meet with someone as senior as John Fowler before it announces numbers, it's a clear sign that the numbers will be good. After all, the assumption is that you'll talk extensively about the business - and if what's said doesn't jibe with the earnings report, the reporter has a lot of room to paint the executive as either out of touch or perhaps slightly touched.
But Sun has never been a company to play by the rules when it comes to making statements to the press. Scott McNealy is famous for his rips at the likes of Intel and Microsoft, both now business partners of Sun. Jonathan Schwartz is the poster child for the blogging CEO - a fact that seems to be Sun's primary distinguishing feature these days.
As expected, Fowler sees nothing but good things for Sun's systems group. So much so that when asked where Sun needed to execute in order to maintain double digit growth, Fowler spoke of building his distribution channel. Surprising for a technologist like Fowler. So is there a larger news story here? We'll see when Sun's earning report comes out on the 5th.

Evolo Race Events brings New Zealand running races to a whole new level. You and 11 of your mates will run through New Zealand's only non stop overnight running relay race. Starting in Papakura runner 1 will begin running, while the rest of the team rests in the support vehicle. Once runner 1 finishes their leg runner 2 takes over. Runners and vans will continue to leapfrog day and night until they reach the finish line on the beach at Mount Maunganui!
Think of it as a 300+ km party with 12 of your mates. Teams of 12 (referred to as the "Kiwi Dozen") will rock out to great music, enjoy the wacky participant costumes, and make lifelong friends with teammates and fellow competitors. Teams will party along the beautiful back country of New Zealand's North Island from Auckland to Tauranga.
Running three legs during a 30-hour relay race is actually much easier than you think. Each team member runs three legs, ranging between 5 and 14 kilometres each time. This relay race is physically demanding, but legs vary in difficulty, and runners can choose their legs. This unique relay format makes the K2M an accessible race for beginners yet challenging enough for the most competitive.

The colors are subtle so you have to look hard. This is a double-faced 3-color Andean Pebble Weave. The face you see has a blueberry background with pale blue and yellow motifs. The other face has a pale yellow background with pale blue and blueberry motifs. I invented 5 of the 6 motifs. The hummingbird is woven in two colors on the Taquile Island in Peru.
I am now playing with four colors in a double-faced fabric.
Here are some of my experiments with the three and four-color versions.
Wow....these are just wonderful...that blue one is so beautiful. How can I learn to weave these?
I wrote a book on Andean Pebble Weave which teaches the basic method with two colors...color A motif on color B background on one face and the reverse on the other face.
I wouldn't recommend it as a first venture into warp-faced pick-up weaving. The book was not written for beginners. You might like to check out the free tutorials on my blog which will help you to build the skills to later take on Andean pebble Weave.
I have spent time watching weavers using the three-color method here in South America where I live...usually colors A and B on one face with colors B and C on the other. I have been studying and figuring out on my own how to weave motifs using all three colors together on each face. I haven't found a teacher here for that yet. And now I am trying four colors.
Beautiful Laverne! I'm drafting out some patterns to do this in tablet weaving. Your colors are gorgeous.
I'm always impressed with people who have the knowledge & patience to do pebble weave - so beautiful!
These are great! Thank you for sharing!

More than half of the members of Congress are millionaires, analysis shows
WASHINGTON – During a week when unemployment benefits expired for more than a million Americans, a new analysis of lawmakers' financial disclosure reports shows that, for the first time in history, more than half the members of the House and Senate are millionaires.
Overall, at least 268 of the 534 current members of Congress had an average net worth of $1 million or more in 2012, the year covered by the reports that each lawmaker had to file in 2013.
The median net worth for members of the House and Senate was $1,008,767 – up 4.4 percent, according to the analysis, conducted by the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics, which examines the influence of money on politics in Washington.
The wealthiest member of Congress, as has previously been the case, was Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who had a net worth that ranged between $330 million and $598 million, a significant chunk of which he earned through the Viper car-alarm system that is marketed and sold by a company he owned.
The poorest was Rep. David Valadao, R-Calif., who listed debts of about $12.1 million, mostly due to loans on a family farm.
According to the center's website, the average net worth and rankings of Western New York's three members of the House of Representatives stacked up as follows: Chris Collins, R-Clarence, was No. 15 with an average net worth of $59,104,518; Tom Reed, R-Corning, was No. 343 with $497,504 and Brian M. Higggins, D-Buffalo, was No. 490 with $32,004.
Of New York's representation in the Charles E. Schumer was No. 73 with an average net worth of $702,008, and Kirstin Gillibrand was No. 90 with $291,002.
Democrats and Republicans in Congress were about equally wealthy, with Democrats boasting a median net worth of $1.04 million, compared to $1 million for Republicans. The averages in both cases were up compared to the previous year, when the numbers were $990,000 and $907,000, respectively, the analysis showed.
The biggest stock holding among members of Congress is General Electric, followed by Wells Fargo and Microsoft, according to the analysis.
Lawmakers' rise in wealth takes place as both parties are trying to position themselves as sympathetic to the jump in inequity in the United States, as the rich have gotten much richer while the median family income has been relatively flat or has declined, depending on different statistical measurements.
The growing divergence may help explain why Congress, beyond the politics involved, would allow unemployment benefits to expire, critics said.
"Congress not only seems more responsive to policy desires of the very rich, but, increasingly, they are the very rich," said Josh Bivens, director of research at the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal, research group that focuses on income inequity. "They probably know far fewer people cut off by the failure to extend unemployment benefits, and that makes them less sensitive to just how much damage that cutoff is going to cause."

I upgraded from a Z2000 balanced to this bat and I added about 30 feet to my swing, just what I needed to take the ball over the fence after about 30 swings so almost no break in needed. Great feel and weight, I got the 27oz end loaded.

Developers guide players into the world of Exteel
Developers guide players into the world of Exteel
Guide eases players into the world of arena combat
Exteel is NCsoft's newest foray into the world of massively multiplayer gaming. It is, essentially, arena combat (Exteel preview) involving mechs. According to NCsoft: "Exteel, a free to play and download game coming soon from NCsoft, which pits players versus players as pilots of heavily armored, completely customizable giant robots called mechanaughts.
In this GameZone exclusive, the game's developers offer a look into the world of Exteel from the perspective of the new gamer ...
Exteel Dev Paper – Tutorial Overview and the Pinkett
One of the reasons why Exteel is so easy to play and master is that it contains a comprehensive tutorial system that all players can access, complete and even run through again if they wish. Not only do the extensive and interactive tutorials give you a full sense on how to play Exteel, they grant extra in-game credits and other bonuses that will prove extremely beneficial almost immediately.
Exteel features nine tutorial missions altogether, five of which are "beginner"-type missions, built around teaching basic movement, using the booster, jumping, using weapons, overheating and swapping (exchanging) weapons. You won't get any bonuses or extra goods for finishing these tutorial missions, but they'll give you a good understanding on how Exteel plays at its basic level.
The four "advanced"-level missions delve into using specific types of weapons in Exteel. For instance, the first mission, "Rifle Training," deals with proper use of rifles and destroying the enemy at range. "Sword and Shield Training" describes how to use melee weapons as well as defensive shields. These missions usually require the player to kill a certain number of opponents within a time limit. Advanced tutorials, once completed, also give a reward to the player, depending on the mission. For finishing "Cannon Training", the player will receive a giant cannon. Completing the tutorial "SMG Training" will reward the player two decent SMGs and a nice credit bonus.
Here's a listing of the tutorials and associated rewards:
Beginner Training 1: Movement
Beginner Training 2: Booster Movement
Beginner Training 3: Jump Movement
Beginner Training 4: Aiming and Attacking
Beginner Training 5: Overheating and Weapon Swapping
Advanced Training 1: Rifle Training
Reward: 2 Marauder-C rifles
Advanced Training 2: Cannon Training
Reward: Poseidon-C cannon
Advanced Training 3: SMG Training
Reward: 2 Planet Eagle-C SMGs and 5,000 credits
Advanced Training 4: Sword and Shield Training
Reward: 10,000 credits
You can stop playing any of the tutorials at any time, and come back to finish them off later. However, you can only receive the reward for completing an advanced tutorial mission only once.
The Pinkett
All players also start out with the Pinkett, also known as "Old Reliable," the standard all-around multi-purpose Mechanaught. The Pinkett is a decent light Mechanaught valuable for new recruits; equipped with the p-booster backpack, it can perform well in a combat environment and can even be deadly at the hands of an expert pilot.
Pinketts come equipped with two sets of weapons, a pair of Tommy Striker-C SMGs for short-distance ranged combat, and a Crimson Edge-C blade with a Defender-C shield for melee combat. The SMG is a very basic, rapid-fire close-in weapon. It doesn't overheat quickly and can easily hit targets without requiring exact aim. In other words, it's perfect for a beginner. The blade and shield combo is typical of a second set of weapons; when the SMGs eventually overheat, switching to this set will you move in close for some sword fighting. The shield, when in use, will block a portion of the damage received from incoming fire.
Another benefit of the Pinkett (and the sets of weapons it comes with) is that it doesn't degrade through usage. Most Mechanaught parts and weapons have a durability rating, and you must repair each item (by purchasing repair points in the store) before they become useless. Because the Pinkett or its weapons won't wear out, new pilots don't have to worry about buying repair points just yet. Note that you cannot scrap these items for credits like they can with regular items (like the weapons rewarded from advanced tutorial missions).

Pune, Maharashtra India (PressExposure) December 26, 2007 -- A new study by Pune-based ValueNotes in collaboration with Mumbai-based KnowGenix, titled "Bioinformatics Outsourcing for Life Sciences - India Opportunity" shows that global clients are increasingly looking at India to cater to their bioinformatics needs.
The report provides an in-depth analysis of the Indian bioinformatics vendor landscape. ValueNotes uses a robust methodology to rate vendors on the basis of weighted averages of various quantitative and qualitative factors, including reputation, size, service focus, financial strength, partnerships, recognition and certifications. The study has revealed Ocimum Biosolutions and TCS as the top vendors of bioinformatics services.
Ocimum Biosolutions provides end-to-end genomics, and has built a strong service portfolio through the acquisition of German-MWG's DNA microarrays and Isogen Life Sciences' biomolecules synthesis business. Though, it was set-up as a pure bioinformatics company, it has expanded into the bioresearch business to emerge as an integrated player in life sciences. Adds Dr. Ashwin Sivakumar, Head Marketing, Ocimum Biosolutions, "the future will see integrated life sciences players pulling major chunk of bioinformatics services business. Hence, Ocimum Biosolutions is already working towards this business model".
TCS, part of the TATA group that has interests in telecom, steel and retail, is amongst the largest IT companies in India. Owing to its large size, it is able to offer scalability to its bio-informatics clients. It has entered into deals with international players like Congenia (Italy) and Sequenom (US), with the deal with Congenia being one of the first such research deals by an IT company. TCS has a strong R&D thrust and undertakes innovative R&D at its Advanced Technology Centre.
The ValueNotes / KnowGenix report forecasts that the Indian bioinformatics services outsourcing opportunity is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25% rising from USD 32 million in 2007 to USD 62 million by 2010. According to Arun Jethmalani, CEO ValueNotes, "The wide variety of opportunities and their diverse nature will attract many new bioinformatics vendors, as well as encourage existing players to broaden and deepen service offerings. Though the opportunities are clear, tapping these opportunities will require various "success factors". We expect that there could be disproportionate gains by a few strong vendors, including those from our "winner" list."

The second day of the competition started in much the same fashion as the opening day, with winds coming from almost every direction as the wind failed to establish itself. However at 2pm the wind swung cross shore and picked up to 15 to 18 knots, ensuring an action packed afternoon, which saw both the men and women's first elimination's completed. The men's second elimination was started, but after three heats the wind faded, bringing the conclusion to an exciting day of racing.
Single Elimination
Heat 4 opened up the day's proceedings, and it was Australian Steve Allen (Starboard / Severne) that was first to book his place in the second round. Also joining him was Ross Williams (Tabou / Gaastra), Damien Le Guen (Exocet) and Gonzalo Costa Hoevel (Fanatic / North). The main casualty of the first round was Finian Maynard (RRD / Avanti), who suffered a broken fin just metres after crossing the start line, putting an end to his hopes of progressing in the first elimination.
The semi-finals included the majority of the top seeds, as the top sailors managed to survive the opening rounds unscathed. The first semi-final saw Antoine Albeau (RRD / NeilPryde) cross the start line in the lead, and the Frenchman looked in confident mood as he made the most of the gusty conditions to win heat 13, and secure his place in the winner's final. Alberto Menegatti (Starboard / Gaastra) wasn't far behind Albeau, as the Italian maintained his excellent form to progress. Steven Allen finished in third place, whilst Antoine Questel (Starboard / Loft Sails) pipped Micah Buzianis (JP / MauiSails) to the remaining place in the winner's final. The second semi-final was cancelled as the wind was deemed too fluky for the heat to be completed. This was unfortunate for Peter Volwater (Fanatic / Avanti) as he got off to a brilliant start and had built a healthy lead. When the heat was restarted the Dutchman had to settle for a place in the loser's final as he finished sixth. First over the line in the rerun was Pascal Toselli (RRD / Point-7), followed by Bora Kozanoglu (Starboard / Severne). As the race progressed it was Kozanoglu who asserted his dominance to win the heat followed by Toselli and Jimmy Diaz (Starboard / North). The final place up for grabs resulted in a photo finish as either one out of; Cyril Moussilmani (Starboard / Severne / Mystic), Peter Volwater and Josh Angulo (Angulo / Point-7) could've claimed fourth place. After a tense wait it emerged that Angulo had snatched the last spot. Meanwhile Bjorn Dunkerbeck (Starboard / Severne / Mystic / Dunkerbeck Eyewear) endured his worst heat for several events as he finished in seventh place. For once the terminator would be missing from the winner's final.
Loser's Final
Ben Van Der Steen (Starboard / Loft Sails / Mystic) sailed a terrific race, coming from behind to win the heat and finish ninth overall in the first elimination. Buzianis got off to the best start, but he dropped his gybe on the third mark, opening the door for the rest of the chasing pack. As the race headed into the final reach, the top three of Van Der Steen, Dunkerbeck and Williams remained unchanged. Buzianis on the other hand was battling to move into fourth place but Sylvain Moussilmani (Tabou / Simmer) fought off the challenge, meaning the American had to settle for fifth.
Winner's Final
The winner's final had to be restarted due to both Josh Angulo and Alberto Menegatti jumping the gun. In the end the showpiece of the day didn't disappoint as it provided one of the most exciting finishes of the day. From the outset, Bora Kozanoglu burst to the front with a perfect start and he made the most of the clean wind to open up a commanding lead over his closest rival Antoine Albeau. As the Turk rounded the final gybe mark it looked as though he was going to cruise to victory, however Albeau looked like a man on a mission as he gave chase, eating into Kozanoglu's lead at an alarming rate of knots. By the finish line there was only a few metres in it, but to the relief of Kozanoglu he had held on to claim the victory in the first race. It was later revealed that the Turk had caught some sea grass around his fin, explaining why Albeau was able to catch him at such an astonishing rate. Third and fourth place went to Questel and Jimmy Diaz (Starboard / North) respectively.
Second Elimination
The men's second elimination was started but the wind dropped shortly afterwards, meaning that only three heats were completed. In the first heat, Ross Williams, Pascal Toselli, Patrik Diethelm (Patrik / Loft Sails) and Andrea Rosati (RRD / Gaastra) all qualified for the second round. Going through from heat two was; Antoine Questel, Kurosh Kiani (Fanatic / Simmer), Ludovic Jossin (Patrik / Loft Sails) and Matteo Iachino (F2 / Challenger / Mystic / AL360). The third heat saw competitors well spread out as Menegatti won the heat with ease, followed by Maciek Rutkowski (Patrik / Loft Sails / Maui Ultra Fins), Costa Hoevel and finally Dunkerbeck. When the action begins tomorrow, heat 4 will be the first heat to be sailed.
The first semi-final of the day saw second seed Valerie Arrighetti (Tabou / Gaastra / Mystic) safely navigate her way to the winner's final, behind Delphine Cousin (JP / NeilPryde) who put in a very confident display. Joining the two other women would be; Fanny Aubet (JP / NeilPryde) and Japan's Ayako Suzuki (Starboard / Gaastra / Mystic). The major story of the day though was that the current world number one, Karin Jaggi (Patrik / Severne), made an uncharacteristic mistake as she false started, meaning that for the first time in a long time the Swiss gem would be missing from the winner's final. Lise Vidal (Fanatic / North) rose to the forefront putting in a flawless performance to secure first place. In second was Cagla Kubat (Starboard / Loft Sails) followed by Greta Benvenuti (Patrik / Point-7 / Al 360) and Melek Toraman (Starboard / Loft Sails).
Loser's Final
Lena Erdil (Patrik / The Loft / AL360) put the disappointment of missing out on the winner's final behind her as she cruised to victory in the loser's final. Meanwhile Marion Mortefon (Starboard / Severne) was able to keep her cool and hold off Alice Arutkin (Starboard / North) to finish second with Arutkin in third. An out of sorts Karin Jaggi finished in fourth place, with a performance well below her normal standards.
Winner's Final
With Jaggi absent from the final, Arrighetti seized the moment to win the opening race of Korea. The win means she has now won back to back races, proving that she is a real contender for the overall title this year. Cagla Kubat performed brilliantly today and she was rewarded with second place after gybing beautifully to separate herself from the rest of the group. After a tight battle between Arutkin and Benvenuti, it was the French woman who came out on top as she claimed third leaving the Italian in fourth.
The forecast for tomorrow predicts lighter winds than today, but with the wind in the correct direction, we are expecting the thermal wind to kick in to allow more racing in the afternoon. The skippers meeting will be at 10:30am tomorrow morning, with the first possible start at 11am.

The Lady Westerners (12-15 overall, 5-5 District 3-5A), who have already clinched the third and final playoff spot in the district, also received three runs batted in each from Candace Sproles and Jenette Paez.
Yepez struck out six in improving to 7-8 on the season. She helped her own cause with an RBI single in a three-run second.
Meanwhile, the sophomore was backed by an LHS defense that went its fourth straight game without committing an error.
Paez got the Lady Westerners on the board first with a two-run double in the second inning. LHS added two more in the third and exploded for seven in the sixth.
Sproles finished with a pair of hits for LHS, which takes on Coronado at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Berl Huffman Softball Complex.
