The Larbaâ Nath Irathen tribunal, near Tizi Ouzou, has convicted four Christians accused of having opened a non-Muslim place of worship without autorisation. 2 months suspended (meaning that no prison time will be done) for three of them: Abdenour, Idir et Nacer; the fourth, Mahmoud is also being sued for having lodged a foreigner without first having let the appropriate authorities know, was given 3 months suspended and a 10,000 Dinar fine (about 100 Euros).
The affair goes back to the month of August when the villagers of Aït Atelli (previously Fort National) in Kabylia, had sent a petition to complain about the opening of a place of protestant evangelical worship setup by the four Christians.
The trial was delayed three times: in August, September and then October before taking place on 28 November. On the day the representative of the public ministry demanded one year of prison for each of the accused, the minimal sentence written into the law of 2006 relating to public worship.
Even though the sentence has been reduced and remains light, the four Christians have decided to appeal, they hold, like their defence, that the ''approval received by the Protestant Church of Algeria (EPA), is sufficient for the opening of a place of worship for a group of Christians under its responsability.''
After the verdict was announced on 12 December, the representative of the accusation stated to the Associated Press agency that it was not a sentence punishing religious convictions but rather ''illegal actions'' of the four men.
However for the observers for which the magazine Jeune Afrique (Young Africa) voices a shared opinion, this condemnation has its place among a string of legal actions against Algerians, mainly in Kabylia, accused of having attacked the principles of Islam by converting to Christianity.

text: An incredible Sondheim score, the first time that the world really got a glimpse of the genius that was to come. The cast is unmatched — to the point where these roles are very nearly impossible to cast now. (Modern concert stagings notwithstanding...) Angela Lansbury gets a wicked Kay Thompson send-up with "Me and My Town," all dripping insincerity about the fate of her poor "peasants" with four back-up boys singing nonsense scat. Then she gets the parade anthem to end all parade anthems: "A Parade in Town" is almost completely the opposite of "A Parade in Town." Harry Guardino brings a relaxed masculinity to the role that has never been touched, in my most humble of opinions. And there's so much wonderful lunacy with the "Cookie Ballet" (the 'run for your life' section is incredible), the thirteen-minute "Simple" interrogation that ends the first (of three) acts, and even the prelude is a circus performed by the Marquis de Sade's asylum troupe. But even with all of those up-tempo, go-get-'em numbers, Sondheim delivers some pure, beautiful, so-honest-the-performers-might-as-well-be-slashing-their-wrists beauties like the title song and "With So Little to Be Sure Of," which features the line "I guess I need you more than you need me, and yet I'm happy" — a line that no one else but Stephen Sondheim could have made sing.

Theyskens Theory Spring 2011 Ready To Wear Collection
Theory CEO Andrew Rosen has made Olivier Theyskens fans into some very happy girls. The 32-year-old Theyskens' new collection for the label will retail for over 20 percent more than the brand's main collection, but at $600 to $700, the jackets are still a fraction of what his designs once went for at Nina Ricci and Rochas. "I had been looking for a more personal project," he said at an informal presentation on the roof of the company's headquarters today. "I've found it at Theory. It's the right position in terms of quality, price."
Talking editors through the collection, he pointed out that the fabrics mostly come from Italy and Japan, while the clothes are made in America and China. The look? Belgian, with lots of sharp, imaginative tailoring. READ MORE …

Anja Rubik
It's understandably hard not to be jealous of Anja Rubik. As well as having impossibly long legs and to-die-for cheekbones, the 23 year old has already worked with the likes of Balenciaga and Dolce and Gabbana. And, in typical supermodel fashion, Rubik manages to work a short, elvin crop just as well as her previously long tresses. Envious much?
Rubik was born on June 11, 1985 in Czestochowa, Poland. She enrolled in a local modelling contest at 15, where she was scouted by a Parisian agency. In February 2000, Rubik made her make her runway debut at fall Givenchy, Rochas and Nina Ricci. Two year later, she relocated to New York to pursue modelling full-time.
In New York, 2006
Since then, it's all been uphill for the Polish supermodel. Rubik has been the face of Emporio Armani, Jimmy Choo and Oscar de la Renta and has appeared in haute couture fashion shows for the likes of Valentino and Christian Lacroix. She has appeared on the cover of Numero and Vogue and, in 2008, was appointed the face of Chloe perfume, alongside Chloë Sevigny and actor Clémence Poésy.
Modelling was a childhood dream of Rubik's. "I have always dreamed of modelling, but it was my mum who had the courage and sent my pictures to a Polish modelling agency," says Rubik. And, although she works in one of the most glamorous industries worldwide, Rubik has no illusions about the reality of the modelling. "It\'s a lot of hard work, long hours, constant travelling and often working in difficult conditions," says Rubik.
Although already extremely successful, Rubik stays focused by concentrating on her own objectives. "My goal is to keep on working with the best people in the business," she says. Judging by what we've already seen from Rubik, achieving this will be no problem at all.

Martial Arts frequently asked questions
What courses do you offer?
We offer many courses for all ages and abilities. Rather than try to imagine what it's like, we offer a free try-out so you can see for real. Once you are happy our Academy is right for you, we can discuss the best way to proceed in more detail.
Which Martial Arts can I study?
As our Chief Instructor Mr Williams is a professional, full-time instructor, we can offer training in Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing, plus a mixture of Karate-based styles, Jujitsu, Judo, Aikido, Krav Maga, weapons training and much much more.
Which Martial Art is right for me?
One where you have fun, learn something new every class, and feel a real sense of progression. Most people get hung up on the actual Martial Art, even if they know nothing about it before they start. However, it's actually the instructor that makes a class great. You can learn one or more arts with us, knowing you'll always have fun in a friendly environment.
I'm a pacifist – is this for me?
Martial arts can offer something to everyone, whether it be fitness and mental discipline or simply the ability to defend yourself or a loved one if you find yourself in the wrong situation. We don't focus on physical strength as true strength comes from within. Our oath says "I shall help build a more peaceful world". Inner peace is just the start.
What if I'm unfit?
No-one is born fit – we've all started somewhere. Our introductory classes provide an excellent opportunity to discover if you are right for martial arts and martial arts is right for you. You will be in a class with other new starters just like yourself, so it's a great way to make friends whilst you travel the road to fitness!
What if I'm not very flexible?
Everyone is different. We teach a wide range of techniques for all ages and abilities, so you can use the ones you like to develop your own unique style.
What if I've never done anything like this before?
In that case, our no obligation free month-long try-out will let you see just how much fun you can have! Simply enter your details in on our online form and our Chief Instructor will be in touch with you shortly.

Randy Travis
Like the Beatles in rock, Randy Travis marks a generational shift in country music. When his Storms of Life came out in 1986, country music was still wallowing in the post-urban cowboy recession, chasing elusive crossover dreams. Travis brought the music back to its basics, sounding like nothing so much as a perfect blend of George Jones and Merle Haggard. He became the dominant male voice in country until the rise of "hat acts" like Garth Brooks and Clint Black, releasing seven consecutive number one singles during one stretch. He won the CMA's Horizon Award in 1986 and was the association's Male Vocalist of the Year in 1987 and 1988.

I would like to apply for staff:
Age: I am 14 and turning 15 June 2nd
Where do you live: I live in Tennessee, USA. Ive lived here all my life.
What are your reasons for applying here: I want to apply for moderator because I know i can help this server. P.S. i really like the layout of the fourms.
How many hours would i play daily: I would only play when I can, im not a super nerd so i wouldn't always play because of school and studying. I also have to be an administrator for Implosioncraft.enjin.com and their server IP for implosioncraft: 18.104.22.168:25646
What experience do you have as a moderator/admin: as I said in the previous sentence I am a Administrator for implosioncraft, and before that I was a Moderator for about 2 months.
In which ways could you improve this server: I could improve this server by toning down the amount of stupid players with my reasoning capabilities, I could give a lot of minigame suggestions such as: Weekly challenge, Weekly challenge is a challenge that server OPs make up a building challenge for each week and make a huge area for the builds, Spleef and PVP arenas, i have my experience building them.
I do realize that if I constantly ask staff to look at this application that it will be declined. On Implosioncraft we have a section for applications such as these and if people ask over and over again for staff to look at the application then we delete the application and tell the player that you cannot be a part of staff.
Do you have good grammer: Yes I have great grammer, I think that you could tell by this application that I have good grammer.
Do you know the rules and commands of the server: Yes Implsioncraft has VERY similar commands and rules, so I will get accustomed to the differences.
Thank you very much for viewing this application, I hope you find me a good contribution to this server.

For my first mod, I'mthinking of adding a Hypnosis skill, which would focus on defense/debuffing monsters. I personally think the spells should have a cooldown instead of high mana cost, but what do you guys think? Level 0: Sideshow Hypnosis "Years of working as a circus sideshow have boosted your resistance to evil clown magics." +3 +2 Level 1: Mediocre Confusion "Your feeble attempts at hypnosis often result with little more than confusing the target." +1 Passive buff: 30% chance to cause a hit enemy to be confused. Level 2: Mastery of Lethargy "You have finally mastered the skill of instilling sleep on your enemies." +1 Spell: Hypnotic Sleep 10 - Puts all nearby enemies to sleep. Level 3: Entrepreneur of Emotion "Your hypnosis makes the enemy cower in fear when you attack." +2 Passive buff: 10% chance to cause a hit enemy to be paralyzed for 1 turn. 40% chance to cause a hit enemy to become fearful. Level 4: Mind Entanglement "You can now entangle the minds of weak dungeon wanderers." +1 Spell: Mind Entanglement 25 - Charm for 15 turns. Level 5: Self-Hypnosis "Using your refined hypnosis skills, you have unlocked your inner brainpower." +2 +3 +3 Spell: Brainpower Overcharge Buffs , , and by 5, decreases by 10. can be toggled. Opinions?
The fear effect makes them retreat away from you(ie: they turn tail and run). Overall it looks a bit UP. Especially levels 0, 2 and 5 are weak. (For an idea of how weak sleep is as an effect, Essence had to add a debuff to his lvl 0 large AoE sleep downtime spell in one of his skills to make it powerful enough for lvl 0, and psionics has it as a cheap lvl 0 spell that does damage and THEN puts them to sleep). Seriously a lvl 0 with just a little bit of stats is weaksauce, this may be merited if it's a buy-in cost for more powerful stuff later in but the skill lacks that kind of power. The lvl 2 skill is weaksauce and has no stats. The lvl 5 skill has decent stats but on a capstone you expect to ALSO get a good ability. Heck the lvl 4 skill wouldn't look amiss as a lvl 2-3 skill, and lacks stats, I kinda like how the charm is shortish duration and short cooldown though, makes it a reliably available crowd control tool (ie: you can reasonably expect it to be available for almost every fresh encounter). Levels 1 & 3 looks good. Basically you could put the lvl 2 skill at lvl 0. the lvl 4 skill at lvl 2, the lvl 5 skill at lvl 4, and still be underwhelming.
Buffed the lvl 0 stats, as well as making the 2 skill more powerful and a bit more costly. The lvl 5 skill now includes a decent spell as a bonus. Opinions?
Honestly the lvl 5 skill isn't all that great because of the opportunity cost vs what you get. In general you could put a cost to it in the form of mana upkeep, or a debuff portion(like a manapool penalty, a la war weaver) and give it infinite duration with the ability to cancel, or increased duration and it wouldn't look that bad, or you could make it seriously more powerful and up the cooldown time. Or you could turn it into a triggeroncast proc.
Looks sort of decent now. Note that sleep at best is a weaker form of invisibility for running away, with no real crowd control use other than backing off a few steps to create distance before attacking. But with a timer that short it could be quite usable to a ranged character, depending on the size of the aoe(template 100 or 101 would be adviceable, or possibly use area. Or cone if you prefer it being directed). On a whole, it's somewhat useful for ranged characters, and weak for melee characters. (Even the melee procs tend more towards creating time to create distance than helping melee. Both confuse and fear aid ranged, fear can even be detrimental to melee). I'd give it a go as it looks now.
OK. One more thing, looking at this chart, would the ability #1 correspond with my #0? My #0 is what I start with, right? Would you advise adding another level?
Septimus Heap from Magyk? (not a typo) I LOVED that book. Do you now where i can get the sequel? Woops i got side tracked. About the skill set, it seems pretty interesting but it does seem a bit UP. Maybe putting better stat bonuses when you get a skill and more a bit more crowd control. But what confuses me is that you said that it is better with ranged classes but you have to be in melee to apply the effects. (Assuming you apply the effects with a weapon attack and not a spell).
Two more quick questions: 1) How do I make a toggle skill like my overcharge idea? Where should I look? The Transdimensional Dodge code doesn't make sense to me. 2) Where can I look for spriters/request sprites?
1) That's easy, just make it a buff that's removable, with the skill just having a downtime of 1 (it could be anything, but a downtime of 1 means it's always usable but not considered a 0 spell)
Sooo what should I do? Anyway, I'll probably change it to a spell possibly. Any ideas? Also, do you know of anyone that does DoD style art for mods?
I don't mean to be a debbie downer, but this class seems very similar to Psionics, especially the starter spell "Narcosomatic Induction"
I thought of that, but this one is more of a passively defensive skill and completely independent from mana usage.

Works with ClonezillaPros: I bought this to speed up cloning a laptop that only had a 100Mb NIC. Yes, it's limited by USB 2.0 but I knew that going in and it's definitely faster than 100Mbit. Cheap. Worked with Clonezilla. Cons: Not really any worth mentioning. USB 3.0 would be faster but it's clearly marked as 2.0 and therefore costs less. Did you find this review helpful? |
can"t do gigabitPros: meh Cons: USB 2 is capped at 480 megabits per second so this implicitly cannot do gigabit. Better then 100T, yes but calling it a gigabit adapter is misleading. Did you find this review helpful? |

Man, 19, injured in Londonderry crash
LONDONDERRY -- A 19-year-old man was transported to a Boston hospital following a rush-hour collision on the Interstate 93 Exit 4 overpass Wednesday evening.
Shortly after 5 p.m., local emergency crews responded to reports of a three-vehicle crash on Route 102, on the I-93 overpass.
Police closed a section of the roadway as first responders used hydraulic tools to remove the unidentified victim, who was trapped inside one of the vehicles when it rolled over.
The man, whose name wasn't immediately available, sustained a serious head injury and was transported by ambulance to Parkland Medical Center in Derry, where a DHART helicopter awaited to transport him to Boston, Londonderry fire officials confirmed.
By 6 p.m. traffic was moving slowly over the highway, with one lane reopened as firefighters worked to clear the roadway of debris.

CHRIS BARBER & THE BIG CHRIS BARBER BAND - The 60 Anniversary Swingin´Tour
31 January 2013 - D-Neustadt/Weinstraße, Saalbau // 29 January 2013 - D-Lahnstein, Stadthalle
British jazz trombonist Chris Barber celebrates his 63rd year as a bandleader in 2012. Inspired by the King Oliver Creole Jazz Band, Chris formed his first Barber New Orleans Band in 1949 at the age of nineteen. In 1953, along with Monty Sunshine and Lonnie Donegan, he joined forces with Ken Colyer. Then, with the replacement of Colyer by Pat Halcox, Ken Colyer`s Jazzmen became Chris Barber`s Jazz Band in 1954 and has been one of Europe`s most successful traditional jazz bands ever since.
Over the years, Chris Barber`s Jazz Band evolved into the Chris Barber Jazz and Blues Band, a richly-textured eight-piece group, blending brass, reeds, and electric guitar into a unique and unmistakable mix of blues and jazz. And despite being "on the slide" since 1949, having performed over 10,000 concerts and made thousands of recordings, the Chris Barber Band keeps marching on, right into the 21st century. At the end of 2001 Chris extended his band with three more musicians into The BIG Chris Barber Band.

Many in the nationwide network of SCORE Association volunteers, more than 12,000 retired business leaders, like to boast about the long history of companies they helped start and jobs they helped create.
That success, including 20,000 new businesses counseled annually since 1964, doesn't only stem from helping would-be entrepreneurs with what to do. The group's volunteers, says CEO W. Kenneth Yancey, also excels at helping clients with what not to do.
That could mean advising someone to hold out for better financing terms. It could also mean talking a client out of opening a restaurant and into opening something with a better success rate. "Everybody who has access to the cash register," in the restaurant business, quips Yancey, "is a partner."
Yancey, who frequently speaks nationwide on small business issues like that, has run the prominent Herndon, Va.-based nonprofit association since 1993. A onetime banker, Yancey was the executive director for the Dallas-based National Business Association before he joined SCORE. Yancey has testified before Congress on small-business issues, made dozens of national TV and radio appearances and is SCORE's chief liaison with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Yancey recently spoke in Sarasota at the Manastoa SCORE chapter annual awards luncheon. Yancey spoke with the Business Observer prior to his speech. Here's an edited transcript of the conversation:
Has the national small-business community regained some enthusiasm it lost after President Obama's "You didn't build that" comments in July?
I think there's a level of optimism that's just inherent in the entrepreneur when they think about their business. When you start asking questions about regulation and taxes and health care, and Congress, in general, and the federal government, in general, I think there is concern. It's all based on the fact that there's uncertainty about what could happen. We see a lot of concern, but on the whole I'm optimistic about small-business issues.
Uncertainty is a word local small-business owners use a lot, both before and after the 2012 presidential election. When will the uncertainty fade away?
With all that's going on there is a reasonable amount of uncertainty in the market for any small-business owner, whether it's health care or sequestration or economic factors. The great thing about entrepreneurs is they are so resilient. They have been taking on challenges like this ever since they started their business. Many of them are finding ways to start and grow despite what's going on. Many of them are figuring out ways to take advantage of the uncertainty and the challenges that are there.
What are some examples of taking advantage of the uncertainty?
A group got together and figured out crowdfunding. There's a new opportunity. There is also peer-to-peer lending. These people are solving problems and growing and contributing to the economy.
How are small businesses and startups doing in terms of access to capital, which is often considered a major obstacle to early success?
People who come to us are often looking to start their business or to grow their business, and in those environments it does require capital. It could come in traditional bank loans. Friends and family is a huge opportunity. While we don't advocate it, a lot of businesses start and grow by using credit cards.
Past capital issues, what do SCORE counselors spend time on with small business owners?
We see a lot of people today who what they really want for their business is more customers. They would love to hire more people and they would love to grow, but what that takes is revenue. So, we spend a lot of time working with individuals and companies on sales and marketing and how to attract that next client. Also, how to grow your share of wallet with an existing client is really important.
Why should someone start a new business today, given all of the uncertainty and obstacles?
It obviously depends on the business. In challenging economic times, there are some businesses that do extremely well, like discount-type businesses or businesses that are not typically high-end. You look at history and some of the most admired and largest companies in the world were started in down economic times, Microsoft being one.

Wednesday, 08 April 2009, Bert Jabin's
I need to be out there, finding out how she reacts to 25 knot gusts with the 2 to 3 foot waves. Which sails and in what combination for various headings. I need to swing the compass. I need to practice anchoring. Or maybe i just need to relax, have some patience. I was telling Annie the other night that the true essence of seamanship is to approach the daily catastrophes calmly, asses the options and act upon the course that you feel is best with confidence and deliberation. My goal is to become a seaman, the best i can, and i feel confident that given some experience i will be good. I wouldn't consider taking my lover and my little ship out to sea if i wasn't confident in my ability to get her safely to her destination. Of course, only one thing makes a seaman, you have to go to sea. So until the fuel tank comes (maybe next Wed) i will practice seamanship. I will resist the urge to sail out of a slip that i'm not confident that i can either leave or return to successfully without an engine. I will watch the sky and the barometer to try to understand the signs that show a sailor what weather to look out for. We'll ride our little bikes all over town and try to avoid getting run over. And we'll meet more people and make new friends around the yard as the people that mess with boats seem to be invariably friendly. I've got my whole life ahead to sail the oceans, no need to hurry.
keep up with the blog!
Thursday, 02 April 2009, Bert Jabin's C dock
The day before yesterday, maybe a Tuesday. Sean came over as promised and finished installing the running backstays. We got the reefing lines installed on the main and we were all set to sail. I pulled open the engine access hatch and found diesel in the bilge. The culprit was the aluminum fuel tank that had previously shown no signs of leaking or corrosion. I never liked the design with the outlets above the bottom of the tank. Water and gunk collect down below the outlets and caused the corrosion from inside, plus any time the boat starts pitching in the sea, all the crap at the bottom of the tank comes up to mix with the previously clean fuel. I tried to put epoxy putty on it like gum under a desk, as i suspected, epoxy doesn't stick to diesel. So i said what the hell, if the engine craps out, we've got Tad on deck and we went out sailing. Light and fluky winds all day, sunshine and blue sky. We started out with main, staysail and working jib, moved on to the genoa jib and wound up flying the asymmetrical spinnaker. It was our first spinnaker experience, we've never seen one used before, and it was great. From a close reach to a run, she stayed full of air with only a couple knots of wind, and moved the boat effortlessly through the water. We doused it by heading into the wind and letting it come down on the side deck. The whole day was just perfect. Not that we did everything perfect, or even close, but the calm, sunny, uncrowded Bay is the perfect place to start to get a feel for jib hanks, self-steering gears, sail stowage and line leads. I didn't get the Navik wind vane to work properly, no surprise, i'll probably dedicate whole blogs to it's complexity.
Wednesday, my back is pretty damn sore from tank removal still, but i won. It took all damn day but eventually i pulled that leaky piece of shit out along with a fairly sizable portion of the boat that used to be a locker for the inflatable raft. I hope i can find a fairly cheap and generic plastic tank to fit somewhere back there and hope i can get it inside a week. It's so tempting to pull the diesel out right behind the tank and have a kick ass tool locker. Not yet Tom, maybe someday.
Have you considered truck or yard vehicle tanks? You may be able to find one in a scrapyard with reasonably close dimensions (leave the travellift alone!). There are also companies that make aftermarket plastic tanks for cars and trucks. Defender lists Moeller tanks up to 27 gal for less than $200 and have a few larger. WestMoron there in Annapolis can likely get you the same thing (bring Hulme for discount) but you pay sales tax.
Thursday, 26 March 2009, Annapolis
We remain tied to the dock at Bert Jabin's waiting for the rig to be installed. Last night Brian from Southbound Cruising, my rigger, showed me how to splice eyes in double braid rope, I managed 2 pretty decent splices. Sean is installing the lower shrouds on the mast right now and we are anxiously awaiting five new Sta-lock ends for the upper shrouds and fore and backstays. The bronze turnbuckles are beautiful, can't wait to see them installed.
The boat is certainly less cheery without a cabin heater and that is where we are. I installed a clean burner on Taylor the other day to allow me to clean the one we had been using. Fired it up, no problems. That evening, (maybe Friday?) I fired it up and went out for a smoke. When i came back in, 20 minutes later, i noticed the reflection of a yellow flame coming from under the heater. There was a small leak at the base of the burner and i assumed the nut needed tightened up a fuzz. I shut off the fuel at the tank and left the burner run while i looked for my wrenches. Within about 45 seconds as i rummaged in the locker, the leak grew until all of the remaining pressurized Kerosene in the short line from the tank to the stove blew out the bottom of the burner causing flames to pour out of the stove and up the walls and woodwork. Annie very thoughtfully pulled the cushion out of the way. I just sat back and monitored the fire to make sure it didn't get out of control. It was over quickly as i had already cut off the fuel and left only a few blisters on the varnish under our table. I don't know what failed and let so much liquid kerosene out. Maybe the aluminum gasket in the line, maybe something else. I don't care. I'm totally done with the idea that i can safely vaporize kerosene and burn it in order to heat the cabin. I can't imagine being able to sleep at night with it running after the troubles it has given me. I don't think i have ever managed to get it to run consistently for more than a few hours. I think it's very likely that Sea Sure fucked up the delicate balance of the original Primus burner in order to save on the cost of the brass casting but i don't really know. I can't imagine how anyone could be successful using this heater, yet they are. I hate giving up. I am going to look into installing a propane burner in the taylors housing because a boat without vented heat just doesn't seem comfortable to me.
Enough bitching about the heater, we stay pretty warm curled up in our little berth at night and have plenty of wool long johns.
I installed the life-lines the other day and though they aren't very stiff, as i complained about before, once the the stanchions are all tied together, they seem adequately strong. They also are completely outside the rails and so don't confine our movements down the side decks as the old ones did.
Annie finished Tad's tubes and they work beautifully. I can stand right on the gunwales without falling into the drink.
Sail to the equator.
Wednesday, 25 March 2009, Chesapeake Bay, Jabin's Yacht Yard
We're living on the water in the boatyard.... waiting for some new rigging for Emma and her mast hopefully this week yet; getting to know the boat in the water and just living, simply, on the boat. Taylor the heater is not living up to expectations, but we've been plenty warm anyway, the cook (Tom) making sure we get plenty of hot sauce and the baker (me) put cayenne pepper and cinnamon in the brownies today. Oooh, yum. Went for a sail in the dink (Tad) and it's lots of fun and great rowing too when not sailing. I just finished making some flotation tubes for Tad although not shown in this picture and maybe I'll blog about that later if they work out well. We went for a sail on the bay Monday afternoon with a new friend in his boat, actually a friend of a friend of a friend - a seaman - who is graciously sharing his local knowledge and his experience with us, he's a natural teacher as well as a seaman. Quizzed me on "what's a topping lift?" and whatnot. Awesome.

Emma was safely delivered to Bert Jabin's Yacht Yard in Annapolis, MD by Mark of Christine's Transport; Tom and I and everything we own delivered safely too thanks to Tom's buddies Travis and Mike. We spent one night on the hard and then she went into the water. The Captain doused her with Moet & Chandon and called on the favor of Poseidon. She's happy to be home again, you can just feel her spirit.

Just as my arm was starting to ache from congratulatory pats on my own back, i was put soundly in my place again. The Optimus burner that is the heart of Taylor, the faithful heater, no longer holds much mystery for me. I can almost always light it with the minimum of fuss and yellowish flames, no sooty smoke, no embarrassing spills of flaming kerosene. I use MAPP gas to preheat (don't ask me what it stands for) as it burns much hotter than propane, it's what i've used for years to solder copper pipe fittings. It only takes 20 seconds of playing the flame over the right parts of the burner now. Luke, from Seasure told me to remove the inner jet and throw it in the bin and what a difference it makes. Now i'm able to achieve consistently high burner settings with no fading or tearing apart the burner every other day to clean the inner jet. As night fell on Wednesday we snuggled up in our warm cabin, a full tank of Kerosene and no worries about the mid 20's and wind surrounding our home. As i came back in from the shop after my last smoke of the day, i noticed the atmosphere inside was a little thick and made my eyes water, probably just this shitty cold. but the CO sensor noticed the same thing and kicked us out at 1 am to go play in the shop until the air cleared up. We plugged in the electric heater again and shivered through the rest of the night after the cabin had been thoroughly aired. My first hypothesis was a chimney full of soot but it didn't stand the scrutiny of the scientific method, it's clean as a whistle. Second hypothesis, the chimney doesn't protrude through the cabin-top far enough to provide a good consistent draw. I fired Taylor back up again just now and it's easy to tell the level at which flue gases start venting into the cabin, about half way to full fire. I think we can run it safely at this level, but of course it will plug the main jet with carbon sooner and won't really heat the boat on the hard below about 30 degrees. I'm going to run it all day and see what the CO thingy thinks about it. When we get out east i'll try to test my second hypothesis by having a small section of chimney made to raise it off the deck a bit. Should help with the discoloration of the paint due to heat and carbon so close to the cabin-top too.
We've been reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, or rather i've been reading it out load to Annie in the evenings. It's always been a favorite of mine though i've never managed to slog all the way through it. The early parts are a nice mixture of traveling and theory and Annie usually starts out disagreeing with some of the wilder flights of theory but is soon lulled asleep by the dense prose. (and maybe my sonorous voice, or soothing delivery) Soon we will start talking philosophy and start the ascent of the mountains of intellect and she will once again disagree with Hume, maybe tonight. Maybe this time we'll make it through.
The crane comes Monday at 8 am, a different crane since the one i had set up had a schedule conflict. Good thing i found that out on Thursday instead of Monday. Maybe my next post will be in Annapolis, probably something about where the hell do all these ropes go?

What are you leaving behind? This was the question someone asked me at a dinner party this week with Tom's friends and former clients. My hand instinctively touched my heart and I said "my grandbabies." Leaving the house (mine still on the market in Peoria, what a bad time to sell) and my career (20 years in IT) and all of my stuff -- none of it matters. But my grandbabies... some days this makes me sad and other days I realize that my voyaging the oceans will expand their universe in a way not otherwise possible. I gave each of them a globe and told them that Nana is moving onto a boat. Blake says "Go to China where all the cool people are!" In this photo - Blake and Taylor.

I'm not really generating enough electricity today to justify constant tea and hot toddies, or playing on the web all morning, but i seem to have come down with my yearly illness. Just a cold, but if possible it always helps me to relax and drink hot whiskey instead of fighting it. All the lifeline stanchions are installed and i'm not crazy about them. I feel like the perfect design was out there and maybe within reach but i failed to find it. What we have is neither as strong nor as graceful as i intended. They don't look bad though, to me at least, and they are strong enough to serve their purpose and they don't obstruct the side decks like the horrible old stanchions did. Mike is going to make the lines themselves for us when we arrive in Annapolis. I packed stuff up yesterday for a while then Annie and i finished the cloth headliner installation just in time to have dinner with some dear old friends at John's house (which i built about 7 years ago). There were some other folks there i've worked for over the years and delicious wine and John turned 70, a feat to be celebrated since he certainly had never believed such things were possible. Pamela and i talked for a while about the timing of our adventure. With the construction industry in the dumps and Cat laying off people by the bucket-load, it seems well timed. It's hard to find interesting jobs in this market, especially compared to the houses i've been able to build over the last decade. And for Emma, it's not a moment too soon to be heading back to the sea.
Wednesday, 04 March 2009, The driveway
We've been very lucky to have this chance to live in the driveway for a few weeks on the boat. Finding out what works (the solar panels for sure) and what doesn't (Annie's silk bathrobe for example). The Taylors heater that i've been having a love hate relationship with has relented and is now working steadily. I hope i'm not jinxing this by mentioning it. I sent an e-mail to England to ask for guidance and was dismayed by a lack of reply but when i talked to the folks at St. Brendan's about my replacement burners today, the said that my e-mail had come through and Blakes-Lavac-Taylors requested that i be sent new burners post haste. What a relief. I seem to be one of the few people left on earth trying to heat with pressurized Kerosene and have been very worried that i made a terrible mistake choosing it over propane. The prompt response to my dilemma is a real load off and i think the burner that i had given up on is ok after all. Vaporizing kerosene gas is certainly not everone's cup of tea. It takes some getting used to but Taylors and Optimus make such a high quality product that i think in the long run, i won't regret the choice. The stove is awesome, the water finally thawed out ( 8 degrees here the last couple nights) the electric system is perfect and the bed is comfy. We may have to add some memory foam, we'll see how Annie's back feels after she is finished sitting on the floor stitching sails all day. The punch list is shrinking slowly but has definitely got to the point where i feel comfortable finishing the rest of the items after we float. Money will be tight as neither of us managed to sell anything we own for much but that is as it should be. Retirement doesn't interest either of us much. The trepidation i felt as 3 weeks til launch crept up on us has been replaced by a longing to feel the living heave of the ocean under her deck, a longing Emma has felt all along.
Tks Derek

Has Sarah, in her single-minded determination to create a career for herself, neglected her son so much that she no longer knows him? He has often lied to her in the past, so how can she trust him when he says he is innocent this time? And what should she do when she herself uncovers evidence that seems to suggest his guilt?

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable. Even more so when Kinsey Millhone's only lead is a grown man dredging up a repressed childhood memory—of something that may never have happened… Looking solemn, Michael Sutton arrives in Kinsey's office with a story: When he was six, he wandered into the woods and saw two men digging a hole. They claimed they were pirates, looking for treasure. Now, the long-forgotten incident has come back to him—and he is convinced that he witnessed the burial of a kidnapped child. Kinsey has little to go on. Sutton doesn't even know where he was that day—and, she soon discovers, he has a history of what might generously be called an active imagination. Despite her doubts, Kinsey sets out to locate the so-called burial site. And what's found there pulls her into a current of deceit stretching back more than twenty years… About the AuthorNew York Times bestselling author Sue Grafton is published in 28 countries and 26 languages—including Estonian, Bulgarian, and Indonesian. Books in her alphabet series, begun in 1982, are international bestsellers with readership in the millions. And like Raymond Chandler, Ross Macdonald, Robert Parker, and John D. MacDonald—the best of her breed—Sue Grafton has earned new respect for the mystery form. Her readers appreciate her buoyant style, her eye for detail, her deft hand with character, her acute social observances, and her abundant storytelling talents.
Sue divides her time between Montecito, California, and Louisville, Kentucky, where she was born and raised. She has three children and two grandchildren. Grafton has been married to Steve Humphrey for more than twenty years. She loves cats, gardens, and good cuisine.

Don't Call It A Come-Back?!: Pooch Hall May NOT Be Leaving 'The Game'
Ok, see now we're confused! To be on T.V or not to be is what we fans are trying to figure about Pooch Hall's current status on the hit BET show The Game. As reported before, Pooch and Tia Mowry were let go from their roles as Derwin and Melanie and would not be returning back for another season; however Pooch Hall has other news recounting the obvious.
Hall who we ladies all love to drool over on Tuesdays nights courtesy of BET, stopped by The Breakfast Club earlier today and clued listeners on his present and future acting career. Although it's been confirmed that the loving duo we've all grown to love wont be returning back to the "The Game" together but there are the rumors of Pooch's character having a recurring role.
Like us on FACEBOOK:
While taking up time at Power 105.1, he not only spoke about still working with "The Game,"he clarified some other work that's in store for him. Pooch has apparently landed a new role in the Showtime series "Ray Donovan" and a schedule has to be worked out for him to film both shows because of the different locations: "Ray" is in LA and "The Game" is in Atlanta, but he made it perfectly clear [in his own words]: "My stuff is being worked out."
Pooch also stated that he got the "ok" from Showtime to be able to film both shows but says the decision making is now up to BET and for them to decide how they want to work things out with him and his schedule. Pooch has said he'd love to come back and for viewers not to be surprised if he actually does!
Got to love a confident man! However, will viewers still tune in without Melanie on the show?

Cool! Way to go Dave!
I'll be on the lookout for that game.
Congrats Dave! Looking forward to trying it
Congrats to Dave!!! How awesome is that...I will also play that game when I come upon it. You guys and Incredible Technologies ROCK!!
Deb, I hooked my sister up with Dan's company in Chicago. She thinks they are the best people ever.
Congratulations to you and Dave.
That is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to play it.
Wonderful news, I'm so excited for you both! This will be a very special game for many of us... and hopefully just the first of many more! Can you imagine one day hearing Dave's whistling all over the casino floor
Super excited and congratulations!
Wuunnerful Wunnerful, Thank you Dave! =)
Hi, everyone - STOP IT, you're making us blush....
Debbie's recollection of the story is spot on - it really was right time, right place and it came out great! Family Vacation was underway when Debbie and I were speaking about a completely unrelated topic. Dave and our sound team coordinated this and I am pretty sure Dave didn't even know the game title/type he was working on as he completed this. His professional touch/talent took an already great it concept and pushed it over the top.
Because of the unique relationship involved with this one, we're planning on doing a cool behind-the-scenes blog post on it at www.magictouchwinners.com probably closer to the game's release (which I believe will be before the end of the year in states like IL, IN, MI, WI, CA, MS, LA and FL) And the list will continue to grow throughout 2012...
And I appreciate the kind thoughts about our company. I told you guys at the beginning - IT prides itself on its people. That's why people like me are given the ability to post on a site like this, as a real person and not as a "company". We're in an exciting time of expansion and I am proud to say the people of this forum have been some of our largest supporters and influencers.
THANK YOU!!!! And congrats again, Dave!
- Dan at IT
