When massage comes to mind, many visualize a spa setting, candles, marble floors and the Swedish Massage.
Out of all of the types of massage performed today, Swedish Massage is most common. Therapists utilize the techniques included with Swedish Massage primarily to relax the entire body. Although Swedish massage is referred to by many as the "fluff" massage, the benefits really goes beyond just helping someone relax. You may be surprised to learn that this type of massage helps energize the body by stimulating circulation in the muscle tissues.
Swedish Massage Includes Five Basic Techniques
There are five basic techniques used to encourage and manipulate your muscles to get oxygen and blood flow moving toward the heart. Doing this is what results in the feeling referred to by many as "reducing tension, de-stressing," and ultimately contributes to the overall feeling of well-being.
Effleurage: A fancy French word that really just means "to skim" is used with either firm or light pressure, depending on the therapist and client's wishes. Most people find this movement soothing and the therapist will use an effleurage stroke at the beginning and end of the massage or to link between different strokes using their palms, fingers, knuckles, or forearms.
Petrissage: Another French word meaning "to knead" which gently lifts and create space between the layers of muscles which relaxes muscles and increases circulation.
Friction: Circular pressure and movement of the top layers of muscle against the deeper layers of muscle tissue to remove muscles knots and only for a short period of time in one area. This aspect of Swedish massage helps break up scar tissue and adhesions.
Vibration: This is often used to desensitize a point or area, perhaps a tight or sore area in the muscle and helps relax and sooth the muscle.
Tapotment/percussion: Taking from the French word "Tapoter" which means to tap or to drum, this technique is very specific to Swedish massage and delivered one of five ways. Your therapist can use tapotment to wake up your nervous system and encourage your lymphatic system to release any build up. Tapping over delicate areas such as the face to cupping to help break up congestion and creates a "glow" to the area ultimately releasing tension and cramping.
With the increase of oxygen and blood flow, now the body knows what to do to release "toxins" from the muscles. Your therapist will utilize many of the five techniques in all massages to warm the muscle tissues prior to other techniques such as trigger point therapy or deep tissue and which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.

History can be a strange thing. Sometimes the fate of nations have been changed by the most trivial things.
Take, for example, the impact on US politics and world history of a lowly security guard doing his rounds at the Watergate building in 1971.
In Bermuda's case, one might consider the experience of notorious newsman Sam Donaldson and his ABC camera crew when they arrived in Bermuda in November, 1992.
Because they arrived unannounced, Customs officers were required to inspect all their equipment. The inspection lasted at least one hour -- some say more than four hours.
Take, for example, the impact on US politics and world history of a lowly security guard doing his rounds at the Watergate building in 1971.
In Bermuda's case, one might consider the experience of notorious newsman Sam Donaldson and his ABC camera crew when they arrived in Bermuda in November, 1992.
Because they arrived unannounced, Customs officers were required to inspect all their equipment. The inspection lasted at least one hour -- some say more than four hours.
At any rate, Mr. Donaldson was furious.
Tourism Minister the Hon. C.V. (Jim) Woolridge heard of the hold-up and went to the Elbow Beach Hotel personally to apologise. But Mr. Donaldson was not there.
Later, a concerned Mr. Woolridge telephoned Mr. Donaldson who said he was "not interested in discussing the matter, that his people were completely humiliated by the treatment at the Airport.'' Collector of Customs Mr. Gerry Ardis yesterday said standard procedure requires incoming camera crews to send their camera list to the Tourism Department so they could be "whisked through'' on arrival.
"Unfortunately, if I recall correctly, Sam Donaldson arrived with his camera crew unannounced. The officers had to take particulars of the cameras.
Sam Donaldson moved straight through, but his cameras had to be checked.'' The delay "wouldn't have been more than three quarters of an hour, at the most an hour.'' Of course, the hot-tempered Mr. Donaldson went on the produce a damning Prime Time Live expose on the US Naval Air Station, portraying it as the Navy's Club Med.
It triggered unstoppable Congressional calls for the shutdown of the base which eventually led to the decision -- over Navy objections -- to close USNAS by September, 1995.
* * * Had it been a new novel it would have topped Bermuda's best-sellers' list this week -- at least for our politicians.
Another Jackie Collins steamy romance? A Danielle Steele heart-warmer? Perhaps, even one of Dick Francis' gripping yarns? Well, not exactly. Rather the Constitution of Bermuda.
Politicians and Parliamentary pundits were dusting off their old copies this week, thumbing through the 90 yellowish pages of baffling, often impenetrable, prose.
The big scramble came after a hesitant Royal Gazette reporter phoned them to ask: "Is it true, under Section 38 of the Constitution, the Senate can delay the Independence Referendum Bill until next year?'' For the record, the responses were something like: "Well I never, I've just checked, and it does say that. Quite incredible.'' It may not be everybody's idea of a thriller, but the old Constitution certainly caused a few thrills for some this week.
* * * Just who is the assistant Police Commissioner? A reporter called Police headquarters this week for the correct spelling of the assistant commissioner's name. The officer who answered said it was Harold M-O-N-I-Z.
But the name didn't sound right. The reporter thought the man's name was Alex Forbes.
The officer said Alex Forbes was Deputy Commissioner. But there was another Assistant Commissioner. Acting assistant commissioner Wayne Perinchief -- P-E-R-I-N-C-H-I-E-F.
Acting? Yes for now. Perinchief's drawn from a pool of five Police superintendents, one of whom is eventually to be appointed by assistant Police Commissioner.
The other four are Supt. George Rose, Supt. Allan Bissell, Supt. Campbell Simons and Supt. Andrew Birmingham.
* * * Okay, okay, okay. Our March 6 notebook story was wrong in reporting Bermuda College had removed speedbumps so Royal derrieres would not be jarred during their lunchtime visit.
We got the wrong place. It was the City Hall that removed its roadbumps for the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Yesterday, Mayor the Wor. Cecil Dismont said the Corporation takes out its speedbumps before every Royal visit.
"We did not want to shake her up at all,'' he said of their planning for the Queen's visit.

Air Resources Board Bike Purchase Incentive Petition
The California Bicycle Coalition, along with several coalition partners, has presented a new idea to the California Air Resources Board (ARB). The ARB distributes funds for the Clean Vehicle Rebate Program, which offers rebates for electric vehicles; we're asking them to expand their program to include the cleanest vehicle of all: the bicycle.
We are seeking the creation of a $10 million Bicycle Purchase Incentive Pilot Program. The program would provide vouchers for half of the cost of bikes that are commonly used for commuting, up to a maximum rebate of $500—or $1000 for electric bicycles. Under the program, California would pay for half the cost of cargo bikes, electric bikes, folding bikes, bike share, and other utilitarian bicycles used for everyday transportation. This could be huge.

The circumstances surrounding my separation and divorce were devastating and I think one of the biggest things that compounded the pain of it all was that my ex-husband now lives about a mile down the road. It is actually a pretty good thing when in comes to co-parenting, but really, the pain of that daily reality dredge up some feelings that are incredibly hard.
All that to say, when I took my second journey to Uganda this summer, I really had no idea what awaited me. Who am I? A single mom, living in ATL, trying to figure out the trajectory of my life with a passion for the orphaned. (Sound a little Moses-like?) But really, why was God sending me back?
I had no idea the healing that awaited me, but I as sat under that spreading tree with Martin that afternoon, and the tears just flowed out of me like water out of a sieve, I didn't know it at the time, but God was putting the final piece of that healing puzzle in place.
Back at home, it took me a few weeks to fully grasp what had happened that day, but I sit back now in awe of how God works, that when we are transparent and willing and say "yes" to Him, then a transformation like no other happens.
When God is asking you to go places, just do it.
When God is asking you make that call, just pick up the phone.
When God is asking you to be brave and do that task one more time, send the e-mail, show up, because you have no idea what's in store for you.
It will be amazing.
As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or the let, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night , so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

Since it opened in February 2016, Punjab Grill has quickly become the go-to fine-dining Indian restaurant in Bangkok. Not only is it located on the ground floor at the iconic and glamorous Radisson Suites of Bangkok Sukhumvit, it is also ably led by chef Bharath S. Bhat, who brings with him over 12 years of experience in creating Michelin standard cuisine across Europe, Middle East, and Asia.
The menu itself features an exciting choice of dishes from India's diverse northwestern frontier provinces. Diners can embark on a culinary journey with top five signature dishes including Avocado Papdi Chaat (flatbread topped with Avacado) and a myriad of kebabs such as Grilled Tiger Prawns, Chicken Tikka, and Lamb Chops, which are all cooked to succulent perfection in the tandoori oven. Do not miss out on the many biryanis that Punjab Grill has to offer, as well as its curries. The Butter Chicken is a standout dish and its rich flavour is simply unforgettable. The wide variety of dals that Punjab Grill has is also astounding and not to be overlooked.

Case Report
Di George syndrome is the most frequent interstitial deletion of chromosome 22 in the q11 region. It has a prevalence of 1 in 6000 live births. Common physical phenotypic features include facial dysmorphology, cleft palate, congenital heart disease, hypoplastic or aplastic thymus and/or parathyroid gland. Nearly 40–80% of patients with Di George syndrome were found to have a psychiatric disorder, 25–30% fulfilling DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia. We report a case of a patient with Di George syndrome and schizophrenia.
Mr D. is a 22 year old single white man with Di George syndrome, diagnosed with genetic control (FISH method. Loss of thesis N25 in chromosome 22). From the age of 17 he had a history of psychiatric symptoms with poor outcome although he received several trials with different antipsychotic agents in monotherapy (atypical and typical). He had multiple verbal auditory and visual hallucinations, delusional ideas of grandiosity, reference and percecution, Capgras and Fregoli syndrome, motor restlessness, agitation, aggression, sleep disturbances and serious concentration difficulties. The total PANSS score was 146. He received a combination of two atypical agents (risperidone and quetiapine) in high doses and after twelve weeks the total PANSS score reduced to 99 (32% reduction).
Nearly 25–30% of patients with Di George syndrome fulfill DSM-IV criteria for schizophrenia. These subgroup of patients seems to have some special characteristics such as a) late age of onset, b) IQ scores between 50–100 (with the vast majority between 70–80), c) poor social interaction, d) history of delayed speech and language development, e) high rates of schizotypy traits, f) less frequent negative symptoms and g) reduction in whole brain volumes, particularly white matter.
Di George syndrome seems to have a characteristic behavioral phenotype. Patients with Di George syndrome and schizophrenia may consist a different clinical subtype of schizophrenia.

Nearly every phone sold in the last few years has a 4G LTE radio, but when you place a call it's still falling back to traditional 3G technologies. The all-IP voice technology known as VoLTE (voice over LTE) is still in the early days, but AT&T is beginning its rollout this very month on May 23rd.
AT&T is referring to this feature "HD Voice," which is accurate, but a bit confusing. HD Voice can also refer to the non-LTE wideband calls deployed by both T-Mobile and Sprint. AT&T is the first to do HD voice with LTE, though. This standard will support simultaneous data and voice over the IP network, but both parties will need to be using a VoLTE-enabled phone and be in a supported service area. The Galaxy S4 Mini is the first supported device, but VoLTE will hit other phones later.
The initial test markets later this month will be in Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. More locations will be added over time. You might not like voice calls any more, but at least they'll sound better soon.

The presidential debate chess match begins
It is just one day before the first presidential debate and folks in the Romney camp are already coming up with excuses why Romney may lose — not because of his ability as a master debater, but because of diversions that are leaving Romney unable to focus on the task at hand.
The excuses include everything from a sudden aversion to falling leaves to itchy underwear caused by Romney's personal maid using a new detergent that they claim doesn't leave their Boss' drawers feeling Downy soft.
But the best excuse of all is coming directly from Mitt Romney.
"What president Obama is doing amounts to mentally challenging me to a duel," said Romney on Monday as he came out of his preparations for the debates looking haggard and beaten.
"If I could choose the weapons, it sure wouldn't be fake outs and false starts," he said as his handlers looked completely puzzled.
Asked to elaborate, Romney merely replied that he will explain once he is elected President.
Obama said he hasn't a clue what Romney is talking about and said that perhaps the blame lies in Romney's debate stand-in, Ohio Senator, Rob Portman.
"Word on the street has it that Portman never got over the fact that Romney chose Ryan over him and, if anyone is trying to psyche Romney out, it's Portman, not Obama," claims a Democratic aide.
Meanwhile, Mitt Romney has blocked out a whole day to go to the spa on Tuesday, claiming that in order to do well on the debate stage, he has to look and smell his best or it just isn't going to work for him.
Ray Jay's Day Spa and Beauty Emporium in Denver was asked to comment, but they claim they were, in fact, passed over by Romney at the last minute for a spa in Boston.

2008; directed by Carter Smith; written by Scott B. Smith, based on the novel The Ruins by Scott Smith
I've been looking forward to The Ruins ever since hearing late last year that it was being adapted for the screen. The novel was one of the best "horror" books I read in 2006 -- or any year -- and I was hoping the film would, somehow, be as intelligent and relentless as its source material.
The film didn't disappoint me, not much, despite what the majority of critics are saying. Yeah, some of them are faulting it for being too similar to other tourists-in-trouble films like Turistas (which I haven't seen) and Wolf Creek (which I have) and Shrooms (which I reviewed a while back). And they may have a point. But for someone who tries to avoid the stuff that's obviously born of schlock and greed, The Ruins was an enjoyable trip.
Tourists-in-trouble ought to be enough to tip you off to the film's premise. Two young, nubile couples vacationing in Mexico have tired of their pre-packaged vacation and yearn to experience something off the beaten path. An attractive German provides them the opportunity to do so via a hand-drawn map from his brother, who's gone off with a young, nubile archaeologist to explore an ancient Mayan temple. They pick up a sixth group member -- a Greek named Dimitri, to provide an early victim and hope for eventual rescue from his friends who may or may not be following in a day or two -- and strike out for adventure.
Trouble starts as soon as they arrive, and once gun- and bow-and-arrow-wielding natives have backed the group up against the temple and into the vines choking it, they're unable to leave. There's a terrific moment at this point in the film, where one of the women (Jena Malone) throws a clump of the vines at the group in frustration. She hits a young boy who's looking on, and the natives' leader promptly shoots the boy in the head. It's a shocking development that proves to the group -- and audience -- just how serious the natives are about keeping them there.
After Dimitri takes an arrow to the chest and a gun blast to the head, the rest scrabble up the temple stairs in terror. At the top they discover the remainders of the previous explorers' camp, much it covered with the same vines they saw at the base which looked -- at least to me -- like silvery-green pot plants.
Through a combination of misadventure, attempts to save themselves, and the vines' own blood-thirsty instincts, the group is picked off one-by-one while also suffering from hunger and dehydration. Despite everything at risk, the film does lag a bit in this lengthy middle section. But the episodes of amateur surgery to save one character's life -- and to remove the vines that have begun appearing beneath the skin of another -- manage to liven things up and are some of the most cringe-inducing scenes of gore I've seen for some time.
Some readers saw an Iraq war metaphor in the book, about what happens when thoughtless Americans stumble into a land and culture they know little about, with nothing to protect themselves except for delusions of entitlement. This is, sadly, present in the film in only the barest of sub-text, and would have helped bring depth to an otherwise straight-ahead tale. The book also played on the main characters' suspicions and jealousies of one another, too. Again, this is something only somewhat present in the film.
The film skips out on the book in another, more profound, way. In the novel the vines are completely lethal, something the natives are desperate to keep quarantined, and it leads to all the characters' grisly end. But the film version allows one character to escape, though we don't see anything that happens afterward. I can only believe this change was ordered for two reasons: 1.) To satisfy Hollywood's unending need for some kind of a happy ending, and 2.) Create an easy set-up for a possible sequel.
Like some vacations, The Ruins wasn't the dream getaway I was hoping for, but it wasn't a completely wasted trip to the theater, either. Like a lot of travel, it provided just enough enjoyment to make me want to go somewhere else again.

Online Stories for Kids
It's time for the Wednesday Website suggestion!!
This week's Wednesday Website suggestion was brought to my attention last year from my son's first grade teacher. (How many of you have ever stolen ideas you've seen your kids do? I know I'm not the only one!!) It's called Storybird, and it's made a HUGE difference with my reluctant writers. I do a lot of writing in my classroom. We do Free Write every week during centers, to allow students time to write for pleasure. I use the Primary Narrative Writing Journal during Guided Writing to model my writing expectations, and I do Modeled Writing anytime I can fit it into a mini lesson. However, Storybird is the one thing that finally got one of my stream of letters writers (you know lkjaoicmslikeis says lion) to write to write 4 true sentences (His story, about rabbits was: I see rbts. I see 8 rbs. I see 2 rbs hop. I lk rbs. – For those of you with beginning writers, you know how much that can mean!)
Storybird allows students to choose from real illustrations, and put them into a virtual storybook. Then, they can write the words to go with the picture. When they are finished, you are able to share their online stories with your class, parents, and even embed them on your blog! It's a great resource, and the basic version is FREE!
Hope you enjoyed this Wednesday's Website suggestion – check back each Wednesday for a new Wedensday's Website suggestion. Also, feel free to check out previous Wednesday Website suggestions including: Find the Dog's Bone and Math Magician.

text: November 27, 2006 RecapLet's do it in Fast Forward.Thursday Start cooking Thanksgiving Lunch/Dinner early morning before breakfast. Done in 1.5 hours. Breakfast, cleaning, etc. until the guests arrived. Grey's Anatomy after they leave. I'm supremely pissed at ABC for showing only a couple of minutes extra of GA. In the Ad, they said "A thanksgiving episode so big, we couldn't fit it in 1 hour!" So, instead of doing a 2 hour episode (which I assumed), they tack on a couple of minutes. Arghh. But, it was a darn good episode, so I guess I'll keep watching :p Friday Sleep in a little and then get ready for shopping. We didn't really need any electronics so we missed the craziness at Best Buy, etc. We went to Lowes instead. No breakfast, we decided to do brunch a little later. We had to get the Christmas Tree. No sales on the trees, and to add insult to injury, the tree we selected was out of stock already. Had been for 2 weeks, and no more were ordered. They checked the other store in the area and told us there was one available in the store 10 miles away. Off we went. We did get it, thankfully! Brunch at IHOP. Yum. Back home to relax, stitch and scrap. To the mall in the afternoon to get Mehul's hair cut. Saturday Regular Saturday stuff, phone calls back home, laundry, etc. I bought some calendar templates from ztampf which will follow this post. Trip to Costco to drop off the calendars to print. Put up the Christmas Tree and hang the ornaments. Dinner was a N's house. Sunday Got the calendars laminated at Staples. These are going to the family members with the New Year cards! I got the front and back printed separately, and snuck a little tape to keep them together while laminating. They came out gorgeous. I don't have a picture of the finished product, but I do have the photos before printing. 2007 Calendars Share Get link Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Other Apps Labels Digi-Scrapping Labels: Digi-Scrapping Share Get link Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Other Apps Comments Sene said… Wow....Absolutely gorgeous!! 11:51 PM Erin said… My, you've been busy!

AJANTA - A MONK'S MISSION & A MAIDEN'S MYSTERY! is the first novel in English about Indian art history.
The story begins on the day of Buddha-Poornima, a sacred day for Buddhists, in the fifth century CE. The protagonist Nandhini Devi, a charming girl in her 20s, encounters a soothsayer in her village and is perplexed by his predictions. Unforeseen circumstances put her in a Buddhist monastery where she gets special treatment from its head-monk, Buddhabhadra. The drama intensifies as she is sent to a royal palace to interact with the mighty Vakatakas. The plot unfolds through the interactions of the head-monk with the royal family, ministers, feudal kings and the girl. Unraveling her mysteries and fulfilling the mission of the Buddhist monk (bikshu) become the crux of the plot. Buddhist monastic life and the creation of the Buddhist cave-art at Ajanta, a World Heritage Monument of UNESCO, form the backdrop for the drama.

I witnessed a great thing recently that I want to share with you.
A friend of mine was frustrated with some benign behaviors of another friend of ours. Rather than confronting our other friend, she bottled up her frustrations until she reached a boiling point. I don't need to tell you that when we bottle up our irritation it comes out like a fire hose when we let it fly. The beautiful thing that I witnessed later that evening was our other friend apologetically making amends by telling her that their friendship was more important than the irritation that had caused the clash. It was awesome.
Communication is critical to healthy relationships, professional and personal. When we talk to one another, it allows us to have healthy, honest relationships. When we talk about one another, it breaks down trust and limits opportunities for growth. Gossip is our enemy, and we do ourselves a grave injustice when we engage in it. It is far more restorative and cleansing to confront and discuss than to allow frustrations to fester and grow.
This is not an open invitation for everyone reading to run out immediately and confront everyone who has pissed them off, but it is an encouragement to live an honest and open life with those around you. If your partner, spouse, office mate, or neighbor is doing something that offends or otherwise bothers you, let him or her know. Do it without an attitude. Do it with love in your heart and let them know how you are affected by their actions.
I believe in the power of honesty and sincere communication. It's not always easy, and it has the potential to take us to some uncomfortable places, but it lends an authenticity to our relationships that we will otherwise lack.
I'd love to hear how YOU promote honest and constructive communication in your relationships! Tell me!

Before becoming a parent, I was told how hard it was to be a good one. Never once did I suspect that feeding my child would be the most difficult aspect. But it has been, and I know plenty other parents who feel the same way.
All my son ever wanted to eat was macaroni and cheese. And not just any macaroni and cheese: Michelinas' frozen macaroni and cheese. Any other brand just wouldn't do. So, I did this for a while, and even threw in some Michelina's frozen fettucini into the fray, which he seemed to like. I didn't feed him these things all the time, of course. I tried some homemade recipes, too. The problem was, he hated them! My son is picky. And if he tries to eat something that he hates, he will vomit. The projectile type. We've done this hundreds of times, and it's always the same story: A big mess for mom to clean up and all the contents of his once filled belly now on the floor, which does nothing to ease my sense of him getting enough to eat.
I started to realize that comfort food is what kids (my kid anyway) crave. Mac and cheese definitely fits in with that theory. As does fettucini and the all too popular Chicken Nuggets. So, I searched my cookbooks and the Internet for the types of food that were quick and easy to make, and which he would love. I decided that rather than rely solely on American favorites, I would use the recipes of mothers around the world to create my arsenal of kid quisine that was sure to please. And here are the fruits of my labor:
Let's start with a recipe from the land of my birth, The United Kingdom, Cottage Pie (It's called Shepherd's Pie if you use lamb). Please see my next post for the delicious and simple recipe.

2010 Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year announced
Trophée Jules Verne winner Stan Honey and Snipe Women's World Champion Anna Tunnicliffe today were named US Sailing's 2010 Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year. A shortlist of 10 male and six female sailors, determined from nominations submitted by members of US Sailing, was evaluated by a panel of sailing journalists who selected these two sailors for the noteworthy distinction. The winners will be honored on February 25, 2011, during a luncheon at the New York Yacht Club in Manhattan, when they will be presented with specially-engraved Rolex timepieces.
Established in 1961 by US Sailing and sponsored by Rolex Watch, U.S.A. since 1980, the annual presentation of US Ssailing's Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year awards are considered the sport's ultimate recognition of an individual's outstanding on-the-water achievements for the calendar year. Over its history the coveted award has been presented to 39 men and 32 women.
2010 Rolex Yachtsman of the Year: Stan Honey, previously nominated for the Rolex Yachtsman of the Year Award in 2006 as the Volvo Ocean Race winning navigator aboard ABN AMRO One, was cited as "one of the most outstanding offshore sailors known world-wide" by a member of the award's selection panel that recognized him as the 2010 Rolex Yachtsman of the Year. Honey becomes the second American in the history of the award to receive the honor for the fastest circumnavigation of the globe. Cam Lewis won the Rolex Yachtsman of the Year Award in 1993 for winning the Jules Verne Trophy for the first time aboard Commodore Explorer with a record time of 79 days, six hours, 15 minutes and 56 seconds – a record which had been bettered five times before the trimaran Groupama 3, with Honey as navigator, set the latest benchmark. In 48 days, seven hours and 45 minutes, Groupama 3 made the fastest non-stop circumnavigation under sail in history and claimed the Trophée Jules Verne while eclipsing Orange 2's record – by more than two days and eight hours – that had stood for five years. Another member of the selection panel noted that Groupama 3 would not have broken the record without Honey correctly calling the weather window when they had to re-start after the second of their two previous attempts was thwarted (a break down in the South Atlantic forced them to retire to fix the boat). "He did an extraordinary job getting the boat around the planet. This was the crowning achievement for a hell of a career," said the panel member.
After sailing around the world, some might have expected Honey to spend some time on dry land, but in mid-June he was taking aim at another record, this time in the Newport Bermuda Race as navigator aboard Speedboat. "I've been navigator on Speedboat since she was built, so I carried on," said Honey. "You get hooked on spending time at sea." After leading the 183-boat fleet for most of the 635 nautical-mile race, Speedboat was the first boat to cross the line after racing for 59 hours.
"I am honored to receive the US SAILING Rolex Yachtsman of the Year Award," said Honey upon hearing the news. "It is humbling to read through the list of previous winners. As an American, it was an unexpected opportunity and honor to be asked to sail with the legendary all-French Groupama offshore multihull crew. Groupama 3's success in the Jules Verne is a tribute to Franck Cammas' leadership and the seamanship of the entire crew. I would also like to thank Rolex and US Sailing for all they do to support sailing."
After graduating from Yale University with a degree in Engineering and Applied Science, and from Stanford University with a Masters in Science Electrical Engineering, Honey, in 1998, co-founded Sportvision Inc. which evolved into the leading developer of live-tracking enhancements for sports TV broadcasts. Honey led the development of the yellow first-down line for televised football; the NASCAR racecar tracking and highlighting system; and the baseball K-Zone system, which highlights the pitch location and strike zone in televised baseball. He holds eight patents in navigational system design, 21 patents for TV special effects, is a member of the board of directors of KVH (a manufacturer of satellite communications and navigation sensors), and currently works for the America's Cup Event Authority on TV technology for the America's Cup. Honey is married to Sally Lindsay Honey, herself a two-time Yachtswoman of the Year (1972, '73).
2010 Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year: Having been shortlisted for the Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year Award for the sixth consecutive year, Snipe Women's World Champion Anna Tunnicliffe has become the first woman in the award's history to earn it three consecutive years. The achievement is the latest milestone for this sailing phenom as she joins Jane Pegel (1964, '71, '72) and Jan O'Malley (1969, '70, '77) in the record book as three-time winners of the Yachtswoman of the Year distinction. Only two women have won the Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year title more: JJ Fetter Isler (1986, ' 91, '97, '00) and Betsy Alison, whose five honors (1981, '82, '84, '93 and '98) have eclipsed even Ted Turner's four title wins, the most for any American man.
Tunnicliffe's position at the forefront of women's sailing, both nationally and internationally, appears deceivingly effortless. The selection panel lauded the number of classes in which she competes and is competitive in. "She hardly trains in the Laser Radial anymore, yet wins when she sails that boat," remarked one panelist about the 2008 Laser Olympic Gold Medalist who won the 2010 Laser Radial Women's North American Championship. Another panelist commented that "she is our modern-day Betsy Alison – doing it all."
In 2009, Tunnicliffe, previously ranked number one in the world in the Laser Radial, committed to a match racing campaign in the Elliott 6 Metre with a goal of racing in the 2012 Olympic Games. In just two years she has moved from 36th to fourth in the match race rankings – a clear demonstration that her goal is within reach.
During 2010 Tunnicliffe raced in the Elliott 6 Metre to win US Sailing's Rolex Miami OCR; place second at Semaine Olympique Française in Hyères, France; and take third at Skandia Sail For Gold in Weymouth, England, site of the 2012 Olympic Regatta. She won the XII International Women's Match Race Criterium in Calpe, Spain, sailed in Tom 28s, and was second at the Toyota International Match Race in Detroit, Michigan in Ultimate 20s. She picked up a bronze medal in the match racing event at Kieler Woche in Germany and also placed third in the BoatU.S. Santa Maria Cup in Annapolis, Md., sailing in J/22s.
The 28-year-old Tunnicliffe, a native of England, grew up in Perrysburg, Ohio, sailing from the North Cape Yacht Club in Michigan. Her college sailing career at Old Dominion University, where she earned ICSA All-American honors three times (2003, '04, '05), was highlighted with being named the 2005 Quantum Female College Sailor of the Year.
"I'm very excited and honored to again be selected for the Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year Award," said Tunnicliffe. "I knew it would be tough to get it this year, so it was a great surprise when I heard the news. I have to thank my teammates for this year. It was a group effort at the Snipe Worlds and all of the match racing events. Molly [Vandemoer] and Debbie [Capozzi] are fantastic crew and played a huge part in this award!"

Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius [and Base] (Rome, Italy) : Head of Marcus Aurelius
- Creator:
- Michelangelo Buonarroti, 1475-1564
unknown (Ancient Roman sculptor)
- Published/Created:
- Piazza del Campidoglio, Rome, Lazio, Italy
ca. 150 ; ca. 1538 (alteration)
- Date Depicted:
- ca. 1990's
- Notes:
- Initially Michelangelo was asked to design a base for the ancient equestrian statue of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, which Paul III had moved from the Lateran to the Capitoline in 1538. His choice of an oval base is echoed in the oval pavement (from 1561), and Ackerman argued that Michelangelo produced the designs for the whole piazza, including the façade of the Palazzo dei Conservatori, at this early date, although the latter was not executed until after 1561. This is the only equestrian bronze to have survived since Antiquity. The only reason that this sculpture survived, is that it was thought to be a statue of Emperor Constantine, who was the first Emperor of Rome to legalize Christianity in the empire. The bronze now in position is a modern copy; the original is in the Palazzo dei Conservatori nearby.

Molto Italiano
Husband (H) to the girl (girl #1 or G1) at the library checkout counter - "Buon giorno, I have lost my library card, what do I need to do to replace it?"
Girl #1 - Are you sure you lost it?
Husband - yes, I am quite sure.
G1 - Have you looked for it?
H - yes
G1 - how long have you looked for it?
H - oh for about a month. i can't find it anywhere!
G2 - *sigh* " we can replace it, but you will need to go talk to the girl at the reference desk.
H - ok, thank you very much
Goes to girl (G2) at the reference desk.
H - Buon giorno. I have lost my library card and would like to replace it.
G2 - Are you sure you lost it?
H - yes
G2 - Have you looked for it?
H - yes
G2 - Maybe you should go back and look again.
H - Well, I've been looking for a while and I can't find it anywhere. I really would like to just replace it.
G2 - *sigh* Who sent you over here? You need to talk to the man at the other desk.
H - Ok, thank you.
Goes to Man (M) at the other desk.
H - I've lost my card and would like to replace it.
M - are you sure you lost it?
And on and on. You get the picture.lol It took him about 1 hr to find the "right" employee that would help him with replacing the card. Of course, all conversations were conducted with the utmost politeness and civility. Turns out, getting the replacement was only a matter of filling out another application. lol
I don't post this as a criticism - it just is what it is. We had a great laugh about it. It's one of those things where you just giggle, shrug, and think - that's Italia.

You make me laugh, but this is so true of life in Italy (get ready for it).
Recently, we have been dealing with the association of architects in the Provence of Ravenna (Danilo is a member). His architect stamp has been lost (it makes the seal on all the official papers). He is doing some work for us now and needs his stamp. SO we went to the association and they said "no problem, we will get you a new one". A week passes when the phone rings, it is the association saying they can not give him a new stamp until he files a police report for the missing one. Why didn't they say that to begin with?
Off to the police department where Danilo is almost laughed at. "We don't file reports for missing architect stamps" he is told. So the architect association won't give him a new stamp without a police report that the police refuse to file. What is a person to do?
Well.... Danilo wrote an official looking police report at home and took it to the police department. There an officer signed it and off it went to the association.
Sometimes in Italy, you just have to be creative!
(can you ever imagine it to be like this in the States???)
