Standing next to the green on #17 at Lake Malaren Golf Club in Shanghai, China, Gonzalo Fernandez-Castaño grabbed a club from his caddy, Jeffrey, and hit one of the most clutch shots he's ever hit. A chip-in birdie at the 17th hole gave him a three-stroke lead and all but sealed a victory at the 2013 BMW Masters Presented by SRE Group. After an "exciting" finish on #18, Gonzalo stated after his round that "I made it a little more complicated".
Even after a double-bogey on #18, Fernandez-Castaño finished at 11-under par for the week and came away with the trophy. The BMW Masters was Gonzalo's 7th career victory on the European Tour. With an upcoming move to the United States and a spot on the Ryder Cup team in sight, he said that this victory came "just at the perfect time". "There's never a bad time for a victory, let's put it that way. But this has been just the perfect one."
This victory moved him up 29 spots to #4 in the European Tour "Race to Dubai" and earned him a spot in this week's WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai. "Hopefully we get to see Cleveland tomorrow in every newspaper around the world," he stated.
Preparing to begin his first full season on the PGA Tour, this win will certainly give Gonzalo momentum going into 2014. We are very excited to see him play in the US on a weekly basis and are proud to have him as part of our staff.

In a mix of populist and reform measures, government today raised the quota on supply of subsidised cooking gas (LPG) to nine cylinders per household from six and virtually deregulated diesel prices allowing "small" hikes over a period of time.
Diesel prices in all probability may be hiked by Rs 1.50-2.0 per litre in the first instance that can be as early as tonight following the decision taken by the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Watch video Govt raises LPG cap to 9, allows oil firms to revise diesel prices
The CCPA however left LPG and kerosene prices unchanged.
"The CCPA considered the issue of raising the cap from six to nine and the CCPA has agreed and raised the cap from six cylinders (per household in a year) to nine," Oil Minister M Veerappa Moily told reporters here.
"As far as diesel is concerned, oil marketing companies have been authorised to make price correction from time to time," he said. "It (price correction) can commence even from today."
However, Finance Minister P Chidambaram maintained that the oil companies have been allowed to make "small correction ... I am looking at same subsidy bill as was expected earlier".
Administered diesel price has always been a sensitive issue with the fuel being consumed in large measure by public transport and freight carriers. It is always feared that any hike in its rates can lead to a cascading effect on prices.
Price of diesel was last revised on September 14 when it was hiked by a steep Rs 5.63 per litre. At present, diesel costs Rs 47.15 per litre in Delhi.
Subsidised LPG costs Rs 410.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder and any household requirement beyond the new limit of 9 cylinders will cost a near market price of Rs 895.50 per bottle.
The government had in September capped the supply of subsidised cooking gas to six cylinders per household in a year, with a view to checking diversion to unintended beneficiaries.
However the decision met with widespread protests as only 44 per cent of population used six or less cylinders in a year.
With today's decision, consumers will get five subsidised cylinders instead of the previously mandated three in the period up to March 31, 2013. From April 1, 2013 they will get nine cylinders in a year.
Moily said there will be no change in price of LPG and kerosene.
The increase in the LPG cap would mean an additional subsidy outgo of Rs 9,300 crore annually.
On diesel front, sources said the government has kept the quantum of hike and the timing a secret to avoid petrol pumps stopping sales to make quick profits.
Oil Secretary G C Chaturvedi said CCPA has authorised oil firms to make "small changes over a period of time".
"There was no discussion on the quantum of price increase or the period over which these changes are to be effected. It has been left to the oil companies," he said.
He, however emphatically stated that the government had not deregulated diesel prices. "If we are to deregulate, then diesel price will have to be raised by Rs 9.60 per litre, which is not the case. Only a small quantum of change has been permitted over a period of time."
Asked if it was partial deregulation, he said "it wasn't even partial deregulation." The government, he said, will continue to subsidise diesel, cooking gas and kerosene.
"The finance ministry will meet all of the under recoveries (loss)," he said.
State-owned oil companies sell diesel at a loss of Rs 9.60 per litre, kerosene at Rs 30.64 a litre and LPG at Rs 490.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder.
For the full 2012-13 fiscal, they are projected to lose about Rs 165,000 crore.

"Given oil companies still need to take the approval from government authorities, I am not too excited about this news. Though the first market reaction is positive, I really doubt the sustainability of such a reaction based on this news, especially once markets take a look at details."
RUPA REGE NITSURE, CHIEF ECONOMIST, BANK OF BARODA, MUMBAI "It's better to make step-wise adjustments rather than a one-off large scale adjustment. Earlier, when petrol prices were de-regulated, they hardly responded to market forces. Today's announcement will depend on how frequently and how genuinely OMCs respond to market forces."
ANOOP VERMA, BOND DEALER, DEVELOPMENT CREDIT BANK, MUMBAI "It is a positive sign. Everyone is however little sceptical about how fast or will it be implemented. The government is the owner of these companies and will always have a say in the pricing. Bonds markets went higher initially but prices gave up some gains later on this scepticism."
"If the minister's statement re oil cos flexibility to tweak diesel prices is the 1st step to price decontrol, then it's a bold & overdue step."
"The announcement would be productive if in reality OMC would have freedom to raise price in line with international prices.
"This is conditional, we need to understand what is small quantity and what is over a period of time. Do companies really have the freedom to raise prices, or is it again government calling the shots?"
GAUTAM SINGH, ECONOMIST, ANAND RATHI SECURITIES, MUMBAI "Even a one rupee hike in diesel will lead to an 80 billion rupees reduction in subsidy. So, even a 10 rupee hike over a period of time, can have a 400-450 billion rupees impact on the fiscal deficit.
"However, it seems difficult to implement given that the government will face general elections in a year and half."
"The prevailing thought is there is certainly a sense of inevitability considering the huge subsidy burden and the need to maintain the fiscal deficit to GDP ratio at 5.3 percent. In that context, there is inevitability of upward price adjustment in petroleum prices. The magnitude and the timing will be worked out between the government and the OMCs. However, we await clarity."
"It's kind of ambiguous. But if they're able to push through the increases over a course of six to seven months, it will improve the prospects for next year's fiscal deficit. However, it will be inflationary.
"This kind of signals there will be regular increases. It will push up inflation expectations, and will lead to second round effects."

India permits state-run oil firms to raise diesel prices
(Reuters) State-run Indian oil marketing companies can now raise diesel prices in line with increases in global crude oil prices, Oil Minister Veerappa Moily said on Thursday, a move that could help the government reduce its vast subsidy bill.
"Oil marketing companies have been allowed to raise diesel prices in small quantities over a period of time," senior oil ministry official G. C. Chaturvedi said. He did not give details about the time-frame.
India's policy to subsidise retail prices of fuels such as diesel, which accounts for about 40 percent of refined fuel consumption, is a major drain on the budget.
Ratings agencies threatened last year to strip India of its investment-grade credit rating if the government did not take steps to rein-in a widening fiscal deficit. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram has repeatedly vowed that the deficit will not exceed 5.3 percent of GDP this financial year.
India imports more than 80 percent of its fuel needs. The government liberalised petrol prices in June 2010, but has often prevented them from being raised to reflect rising oil prices on global markets.
Fuel consumption in India rose 5 percent in the last fiscal year, its fastest since 2007/08.
Shares in oil marketing companies rose while bond yields fell after Moily's announcement.
Hindustan Petroleum Corp shares surged 5.2 percent while Oil and Natural Gas Corp gained 4.3 percent.
The 10-year yield fell as much 3 basis points to 7.85 percent.
The rupee rose to 54.47/4950 to the dollar from around 54.63/64 previously.

* Govt authorises oil companies to hike diesel prices periodically
* Govt says no increase in price of LPG will be effected.

« Second call under North West Europe programme | Main | LIFE+ 2008 call for proposals »
January 23, 2008
Second Call under Northern Periphery Programme
The second call for proposals under the new Interreg IV programme for the Northern Periphery (NP) opened on 16 January 2008.
The NP programme aims to address the specific challenges associated with northern, peripheral regions such as sparse population and rurality, with a special focus on innovation, the environment, accessibility and rural-urban links. For the period 2007-13, Ireland benefits from an expansion of the programme area, which now includes counties Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Galway, Mayo, Clare, Limerick, Cork and Kerry. Proposals for funding should address the two priorities of the programme: promoting innovation and competitiveness in remote and peripheral areas and sustainable development of natural and community resources. No specific budget has been allocated for this second call, but between 2007-13 the Programme will commit around EUR45 million. After the first call, in which 12 projects were approved, 32.5% of these funds have been allocated. The deadline for applications is 7 March 2008. Further details at: http://www.northernperiphery.net/2007/how-to-apply-g.asp or contact Michael O'Brien, BMW Regional Assembly (Contact Point Ireland), tel: 094 9862970, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Second call under North West Europe programme
The second call for proposals under the INTERREG lVB North West Europe (NWE) Programme will open on 7 April 2008 with a closing date of 9 May 2008.
The programme, which was approved on 26th September 2007, aims to support transnational cooperation projects in the NWE area that contribute to sustainable regional development. Five priorities for transnational project activities have been identified: more attractive metropolitan areas; sustainable mobility management; land use and water systems; stronger ecological infrastructure with reduced ecological footprint; and promoting co-operation between sea and inland ports. Despite the general strength of the NWE area, it has some particular problems such as regional disparities, poor quality in urban areas, social exclusion and environmental pressures that threaten its competitiveness and attractiveness.
A total budget of EUR353m is available, with EU cofinancing of up to 50%. This eligible area covers all of Ireland, the United Kingdom, Belgium and Luxembourg, and parts of the Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland. Further details at: http://www.nweurope.org/ or from the INTERREG NWE Liaison Officer, Southern & Eastern Regional Assembly, tel: + 353 (0)51 860711, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

South West Regional Authority conference on Getting Businesses and Research Organisations to Work Together
The South West Regional Authority will host a conference on Getting Businesses and Research Organisations to Work Together in Killarney on February 27, 2008.
The conference: How to Speak the Same Language, is targeted at businesses with a need to interact more regularly and successfully with publicly funded research organisations - both within their own catchment areas and with experts throughout Europe.
The conference, which is free of charge, will address a number of issues: What does innovation and collaboration mean to your company on a daily basis? How can researchers promote and support greater levels of innovation with industry? How do businesses know what expertise is available, and whether it is available on their own doorsteps? How does one find the right people to speak to? And, if one gets this far, do both parties speak the same language?
The conference will bring together a range of experts from both industry and research backgrounds who will illustrate by example and first-hand experience what is required in order to effectively engage with each other and give you the basic tools and insight to understand the benefits of being proactive in terms of your companys attitude to innovation.
This conference is being hosted by the DRIVE for Growth Project partners: South West Regional Authority and South East Regional Authority Ireland, Stoke-On-Trent City Council, Staffordshire University, UK, and Kompetenznetzwerk Mechatronik, Goppingen, Germany.
DRIVE for Growth is co-funded by INTERREG IIIB North West Europe Area. DRIVE aims to help SMEs to recognise the value of R&D, understand it and use it to their commercial advantage. The partners are working to transform the cooperation between research institutions and SMEs into a partnership to foster development and production, economic growth and employment.

Après la prom
Faith & Inspiration
Tuesday night was prom night, and the parents did the student center up big in an Arabian nights theme, with palm trees and tents and booths and every kind of delicacy, and an expansive dance floor where they danced till the wee hours with visions of Scheherazade in their heads.
Then came the 6 a.m. cleanup (which had to be done by 8 o'clock in time for the lower classmen to arrive for classes). By this time our darling Cinderellas and Prince Charmings were all sleeping it off, and the moms and dads were dismantling the dream and storing it in boxes till next year. Some packed scatter pillows, some were on ladders unstapling long white sheers, and some stifled yawns behind industrial-sized floor mops.
I was a latecomer at 6:30 a.m. and was storing a long (magic?) carpet I had just rolled up when a woman a few feet from me said, out of the blue, "24 hours." I picked up on her meaning quickly and said, "Is that how long you've been up?" She answered, "Yes. I took a one-hour break last night."
That's when I started to notice in the air that there was a kind of pecking order in the room. There were those, like me, who had come in for just an hour. And there were those who had been on the preparation committee, and had chaperoned the post-prom party, and who were still plugging along after the sun rose. They were the inner circle.
There is almost an irresistible desire on the part of those who have done more work to be acknowledged as having done more work. (Hence the invention of the awards ceremony.) There is a tendency to pride, even among very nice people. (I know it because sometimes the shoe has been on the other foot-though not often.)
I thought about Jesus' story of the laborers hired from the marketplace (Matthew 20)-some at the crack of dawn, some at noon, some in late afternoon. At the end of the day the boss lined them up and gave each man a denarius, because that is what he had promised each one at the time of their hiring. The workers who had "borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat" were indignant: they complained that people who have worked longer should get more pay.
Excuse me, said the boss. Didn't I agree to give you a denarius and didn't you accept those terms? Your problem is not that I shortchanged you; your problem is that I felt like being generous to the 11th-hour guys. What you are actually faulting is my generosity.
The point is they all got jobs-which is more than they had before the boss rescued them from unemployment and destitution. Nobody comes out looking like a hero in this story except the boss. Everybody else is a debtor. No sense making begrudgendly comparisons among ourselves when we are all just plain lucky to be here.
Considering the fact that we were all dead men and everyone of us was snatched from the jaws of annihilation into the kingdom, this is the attitude Jesus wants us to take about our labor when we are tempted to be proud and lord it over someone else:
"So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty'" (Luke 17:10).

Men have been citing "their" women's greater attractiveness as proof of their superiority over political rivals for as long as I can remember. Probably longer. It's a fun excuse to objectify women and emphasize one's status as alpha male, if you're a guy. If you're a woman who's into that sort of thing, it's an opportunity to elevate yourself above other women and prove your worth to the menfolk.
Two international examples have come to my attention this week. Italian women are pushing back against Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's sexism. This man is a real piece of work. On top of his nasty, frightening remarks about rape, Berlusconi boasts of the good looks of his party's young female parliament members, dismissing women of the opposition party as menopausal.
But it was a comment he recently made on a late-night talk show that broke the proverbial camel's back. "You're more beautiful than you are intelligent," he told opposition parliament member Rosy Bindi. Understandably frustrated and outraged, a group of women drafted a petition calling Berlusconi's statements offensive to female dignity. They added that he denigrates women and democracy by using women's bodies for his political ends. In 11 days, over 100,000 women signed on.
The second is brought to you by The Calgary Sun, wherein columnist Ian Robinson proposes a new slogan for right-wingers: "Come for the culture war … stay for the chicks."
You know what follows. Liberal women wear "sensible" shoes; conservative women wear three-inch heels – at least. Liberal woman feed their husbands tofu; conservative women feed their husbands steak (and have it on the table by the time their
masters men get home from work). Liberal women whine about unequal political representation; conservative women cut their losses and… go shoe shopping. Robinson dedicates nearly one-third of his screed to women's footwear. Also: liberal women recycle and listen to Sarah McLachlan!
Hey Robinson: the 90's called; they want their cultural references back.
The natural response to these things is to protest: Hey, I'm not menopausal! Check out my Jimmy Choos! And have you seen Angelina Jolie?!
Resist the impulse! The most offensive thing about it is not that they compare conservative women's Glamour Shots to unflattering photos of liberal women. It's the very premise: that women's greatest contribution to the political process is our sex appeal. It's using women's bodies as political currency, as a reflection of one group of men's dominance over another group of men. And it's not exactly a compliment to be treated as better arm candy, either. Conservatives are not the only ones who are guilty of this. It's just as bad when liberals defend themselves by citing the beautiful women in their midst, or by denigrating conservative women's looks. Don't play that game; all women lose.

mlaiI'd like them at a bigger size too, but the news is a feature that people have consistently demanded return to the front page.
What got bigger? The news! Yes, I check out the front page of DD Webcomics Community to read text! Oh no I don't care about trying to find new/hidden comics or looking at attractive banners!
(perhaps a good way to go would be to have the full size image come up formatted inside the text box description that comes up when you hover over the comic icon?)
Using the front page to find new comics has only ever been a niche use that a few people have developed over time.
With news we are able to more easily communicate with the community-
-informing people of problems.
-Making people's news posts more visible.
-making the current feature more visible when we repost it as news.
-Encouraging community participation in community activities like interview projects etc.

Spending growth was down from 6 percent in 2007 as spending slowed for nearly all goods and services, according to the report, "Health Spending at a Historic Low in 2008," published in the journal Health Affairs.
Hospital spending in 2008 grew 4.5 percent to $718.4 billion, compared with 5.9 percent in 2007, "the slowest rate of growth since 1998," CMS statistician Micah Hartman, who co-authored the report, said at a briefing to discuss the findings. Nevertheless, 31 percent of the nation's health care money went to hospital care in 2008, making up the largest percentage of spending, followed by other spending (25 percent) and physician and clinical services (21 percent).
The economic downturn significantly affected health care spending, resulting in more Americans going without care and making it more difficult for people to afford private insurance.
"Health care spending is usually somewhat insulated from the immediate impact of a downturn in the economy. But this recession has exerted considerable influence on the health care sector," Hartman said.
Private insurance benefits and premiums in 2008 grew at their slowest rate since 1967, while public programs such as Medicare and Medicaid grew 6.5 percent, the same rate as in 2007. Retail prescription-drug spending slowed to 3.2 percent in 2008, reflecting a decline of per capita use of prescription medications.
Despite slower growth, health care spending continued to outpace overall economic growth, which was 2.6 percent in 2008 as measured by the gross domestic product.

This might put a damper on Werner Herzog's day. While the eccentric helmer has been trying to get his own tale of Gertrude Bell off the ground -- last month he was said to be in serious talks with Naomi Watts for the part -- another director, with a bigger marquee cachet and easier access to financing is mounting his own picture on the same subject.
Deadline reports that Ridley Scott now has a film of his own in development on Gertrude Bell. The film will be written by Jeffrey Caine ("The Constant Gardner," "Goldeneye") and, not surprisingly, is set up under the Scott Free banner over at Fox. The film would tell the story of Gertrude Bell, a real-life British woman who was a traveler, writer, archaeologist, explorer, cartographer, and political attaché for the British Empire at the dawn of the 20th century. While only a commoner, Bell's efforts were key in helping found the modern states of Iraq and Jordan and installing their first rulers, King Abdullah and King Faisal.
Now, what this means for Herzog's project remains to be seen. Honestly, probably not much. Scott attaches himself to a new project seemingly every month or so -- "The Color of Lightning" and "The Wolf Of Wall Street" being some of the most recent mentioned, but there are scores of others -- so there is no guarantee that this will be his next film. Scott likes to have as many irons in the fire as possible and right now, he's right in the midst of filming "Prometheus," and he'll likely wait to see a script before making any kind of decisions.
So if Herzog can secure an actress like Watts which will help the financing get in place, we could see his film still happening, though word has been quiet around the project lately. So, just slot it as yet another potential project for Scott and don't be surprised if he continues to add more options in the months ahead for what he'll do after he's finished his "Alien" spinoff/prequel thing.

Heavy Frame Industrial Gas Turbine Services
Company consolidates, names center of excellence for heavy frame activities
Wood Group GTS has named its Duncan, South Carolina, U.S.A., facility as its center of excellence for heavy frame industrial gas turbine fuel nozzle and combustor repairs, including standard and Dry Low NOx (DLN) systems.
Wood Group GTS is an independent provider of rotating equipment services and solutions in the power and oil & gas markets that include power plant engineering, procurement and construction; facility operations and maintenance; and repair, overhaul, optimization and upgrade of gas, wind and steam turbines, pumps, compressors and other high-speed rotating equipment.
The decision to consolidate heavy frame activities in Duncan follows an operational review of Wood Group GTS' Duncan and East Windsor, Connecticut, U.S.A., service centers. After the consolidation, the East Windsor facility will focus on repair services for aero, aero-derivative, light industrial and military gas turbine fuel nozzles, accessories and components.
The company said its Duncan combustion technology team has been responsible for the creation of 35 combustion-related patents and has considerable expertise in the manufacture and repair of combustion turbine hardware, including DLN systems. Consolidation of heavy frame service at this location will enable customers to benefit from the combined service experience of Wood Group GTS, gained through overhaul of over 170 sets of GE Frame 7FA and over 50 sets of GE 7EA fuel nozzles, Wood Group said.

26/05/2012, Lowe Islet
It was with a sad heart we left Cairns this morning, where we left behind great friends of ours. Not sure who came across who in the Kimberleys in 2009, we have remained close friends. We have spent a week here (19 - 26th). Cairns did not put on any spectular weather, I think there was only one day where we did not have any rain. We spent the first 4 nights on the pick in the inlet where our friends were. Then into the Marina to do the usual - washing, shopping, etc. Watched State of Origin at the Courthouse with Geoff and Cheryl and a couple of young Navy guys, who seem to have the dream job, cruising along the coast, fishing, snorkeling etc when not apprehending boats...
We left Cairns at 0700 hours after refueling and arrived at Lowe Islet approx. 1330 hours. The past couple of days have been quite chilly, never thought I'd be cold in this part of Queensland.
Take a look at my work. I used to sail a lot as a kid, that inspired me to make those bracelets out of ropes and shackles.
Say hello to Lizard for US!!!
love and safe travels
the boys
19/05/2012, Cairns
We had decided on having a few leisurely days, so we stayed at Dunk Island for 3 nights. On the afternoon of our 2nd day at Dunk, 2 yachts came in. We met Gordon and Sherry who are on Serenity and are doing the Rally. Gordon and Sherry knew the couple on the other yacht and they are also doing the Rally. Both couples are from the USA, returning home. On the morning of the 17th, we were in two minds, whether to stay or head for Mourilyan Harbour. The yachts left, so we then decided to follow suit. Had rain much of the way. In fact it continued to rain for the rest of the day and night. Fitzroy Island was our next anchorage (night of the 18th). Persistent showers. On into Cairns the next morning. Very good friends, Cheryl and Geoff are anchored in Trinity Inlet, so that is where we anchored. Spent a wonderful afternoon on Tookawhile catching up over a few glasses of wine. Then it was back to Keris for us to have dinner.
15/05/2012, Dunk Island
Arrived at Dunk Island approx 7.30pm last night. After a day of stopping here, stopping there (Lucinda and then Cardwell - Mike needed a Post Office) and some fun with the main sail, it was a long day. Of a night you would think Dunk Island was still in operation, lights ablaze. In the morning you can tell that there is very little happening here and when we went ashore, the Resort is closed. The destruction that Yasi did (Feb 2011) was beyond belief. We have called in here every time we have passed, it was certainly sad to see. We came across one of 7 workmen on the island and he informed us it has just been sold and the new owners intend to re-open in the future. Believe me there is a massive amount of rebuilding to be done. Will post some photos when I retake them. I managed to delete all the ones I took today. Not registered yet Nanette, will be doing it in Cairns, waiting to see if others want to do Indonesia leg.
Lara now has a 8 week old kitten to go with her two dogs, fish and bird. Sad about Dunk island. Winter is on it way here. Have fun.
09/05/2012, Townsville
From Shaw Island we sailed up Gloucester Passage and anchored just off Monty's. Winds have been very favourable, very little use of the iron sails.
As we leaving our overnight anchorage, we had a very near collision with a Fishing Trawler. Whoever was at the helm was just an A...hole, we were under sail, we had right off way. Trawlers are a law unto themselves.
It was to be one of those days...
Just after lunch, The Auto Pilot sounded an alarm indicating that the steering arm had jammed. We quickly secured the boat, Mike made temporary repairs (using a couple of pieces of 2 x 1) and we were quickly under way again.
Cape Bowling Green was our overnight stop, which lived up to its nickname, Cape Rolling Green.
On into Townsville next morning (09/05/12).
HELLO, is there anyone out there, we would very much appreciate some comments/feedback, just so we know that we are not just writing this for ourselves, (does that sound familiar Nanette).
Cheers/ enjoy
05/05/2012, Shaw Island - Whitsundays
Arrived MacKay Marina Thursday Afternoon. As is usual when we arrive at a Marina, Snoopy is always the first off. Will be here for 2 nights. Requirements are washing, resupply and a quick clean of the boat. Mel and Kevin who have Scorpio and who we met at Curlew Island are due in Friday afternoon. I did manage to catch up with them. Friends we met on our first trip to the Whitsundays were here at the Marina, so we managed to catch up on the Friday night. Deb and Clayton brought dinner over to our boat, prawns and they were delicious. Snoopy did not mind them either.
We left approx 0915 hours on the Saturday, with no particular destination in mind. Finally settled on Shaw Island where we dropped the pick just on dark.
Position plot looks OK now.
We don't see your name on the Sail Indonesia list of participants? Last CT scan very good.
29/04/2012, Great Keppel Island
We left Mooloolaba on Thursday 26th April with very little winds and made very little progress. We overnighted at Double Island Point, making an early start on the Friday morning. First Mate/Chef had lost her sea legs after months on land. Must say there was a big swell. The winds were in our favour and we sailed through the night and dropped anchor mid Saturday afternoon at the northern end of the Narrows where we managed to stay relevantly free from Midgees. Nice leisurely cruise to Great Keppel Island on the Sunday. Captain listening to Tigers game and First Mate trying to set up this blog.

Jennie Garth Makes Surprise Runway Appearance At New York Fashion Week
September 13, 2013 09:09 AM by Lisa Princ
Jennie Garth fans got a treat this week during New York's Fashion Week! The recently divorced star and Dancing With The Stars alum surprised everyone when she made an appearance on the runway, rocking a Goth look!
Talk about a fun surprise for fans! Dancing With The Stars alum, Jennie Garth showed up on the runway for designer Aerin O'Connell's Intrepid by AOC show at Pier 59 Studios during New York Fashion Week on Wednesday. The 41-year-old (and still hot) star donned a different look though, as she went Goth! Her short, grey and white dress wasn't the unusual part, it was her makeup that had fans wondering if that was really Garth. Instead of her normal makeup, Garth was wearing very light powder, making her look extremely pale, along with very heavy blush and eye shadow. Finishing off her makeup was a very dark lip color, giving her an overall Goth look.
Despite the different look for Garth, she seemed to rock the runway, as one onlooker told US Weekly: "She was confident and looked powerful coming down the runway and had two friends in the audience who were cheering loudly for her."
After the show, Garth admitted that she loved the look, but: "I felt nervous for the designer of this dress, I wanted to do well for her and have success for the line." Despite her nerves, Jennie did well and the audience loved her, so it was definitely a win-win situation for everyone! As for the runway, Jennie says it is definitely "not her world."
What do you think of Jennie Garth hitting the runway? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear from you. Sound off in the comments section below!

United States Police Canine AssociationRegion OneRepresenting the State of Florida
About us...
U.S.P.C.A. History
"Making good handlers great handlers by setting the standards for the industry."
The United States Police Canine Association became the largest and oldest active organization of its kind - "Ever Striving for the Betterment of all Police K-9", in August, 1971 when two existing Associations, the Police K-9 Association and the United States K-9 Association, merged.The original Florida Police K-9 Association, formed in 1964, was later changed to the Police K-9 Association in order to include other interested departments outside the section of the country established by the United Police K-9 Association.It didn't take too long before the members of these two fine organizations realized that strength was in unity and that their basic goals and objectives were the same. So the present Association was formed. Membership is spreading throughout the United States, Canada, and with the Armed Forces, throughout the world.The Association meets twice a year. Once, in Spring, where new ideas and training methods are discussed, and then at the National Police Dog Trials. These dog trials bring together the best trained dogs in the world and are judged by Police judges. Great strides in the standardization of training methods have been made through these dog trials.

Customers Weirdly Not Cool With Porn-Browsing Pizza Hut Worker
The guy may not have broken any laws, except the unwritten one against being sleazy.
Several Pizza Hut customers in Richmond, Virginia, who encountered a worker spending his break looking at pictures of naked women on his laptop in the restaurant's dining room were nonplussed when management told them it wasn't their problem. "It was personal time," a shift manager tells the local NBC affiliate, explaining it's really Larry the mozzarella guy's right to spend his downtime any way he chooses. "He wasn't on the clock." The employee apparently spends many of his three-hour breaks out in the dining-room booth, which doesn't really seem to freak out Pizza Hut management, who say it doesn't affect his "job performance" and that they "had a talk" with the guy after the incident. Ten bucks says he was looking at pizza-delivery-guy porn.

Hard hats are an everyday sight once again in downtown Washougal, where $2.5 million worth of construction projects could attract new small businesses and possibly reinvigorate urban renewal plans derailed by Clark County's still slumping economy.
But the Main Street projects, which include a $500,000 exterior makeover of the existing True Value Hardware store and a $1.7 million commercial building, are far less extravagant than plans issued four years ago.
Then, developers intended to build $45 million worth of buildings surrounding Washougal's centerpiece, Reflection Park. Only one of those buildings, the $14 million Washougal Town Square, has been completed and no start dates have been set for its three companions.
Town Square developer Lone Wolf Development recently broke ground on a different Washougal building. The company's $1.8 million project on the northeast corner of Love and Main streets will feature office and retail spaces that can be configured for very small companies that need as little as 450 square feet, said Adam Taylor, a spokesman for Washougal-based Lone Wolf.
His company hopes the smaller tenant space sizes will encourage startups and tiny firms to relocate or open offices in downtown Washougal.
"It will give folks the ability to test the waters with their business concept," Taylor said.
Longer term, it also could help fill the half-vacant, 50,000-square-foot Town Square, which opened in 2007. The project has drawn few tenants to its street-level retail space, upstairs offices and underground parking garage.
"If someone has a larger, more successful business and they need 1,500 square feet, we can accommodate that," Taylor said.
So far, the Town Square development includes a few office tenants upstairs and a ground-floor ice cream shop, pizza restaurant and dance academy. But Town Square, the most prominent and attractive building in a struggling downtown district, lacks energy due to its high number of vacant retail spaces.
"There's a significant amount of vacant retail space," Taylor acknowledged.
Lone Wolf Development seems to have the capital to weather poor business conditions that have dampened demand for commercial space downtown. The company is owned by part-time Washougal resident Wes Hickey, son of the late Ray Hickey, who once owned Vancouver-based shipping company Tidewater Barge Lines.
As for Lone Wolf's original plans for the other three buildings that would take up two more blocks in downtown Washougal, construction has been delayed, due to the uncertain economy, Taylor said.
The projects could go forward or return to the drawing board, depending on the type of commercial space in demand when Lone Wolf is ready to break ground, Taylor said. Original plans called for a mixture of ground-floor retail space, live-work apartment units, second-floor offices and an organic grocery store.
Meanwhile, "We're building the incubator building because we feel there's a need for that kind of space in downtown Washougal," he said.
Startup space
A weak economy isn't Lone Wolf's only problem. Shopping habits also have changed dramatically since 2004, when Lone Wolf Development first proposed its downtown Washougal projects, which were to complement a $6.5 million investment in roads and the refurbished Reflection Park and its public plaza.
In 2007, the city commissioned a $60,000 study that projected nearby "affluent baby boomers" could support upscale retailers, such as Ann Taylor and Ethan Allen in downtown Washougal. But boomers have "become much more conservative than they were three years ago," said Pam Lindloff, a retail real estate expert with NAI Norris Beggs and Simpson.
Lindloff called downtown Washougal a secondary location for retail businesses, which operate best when in high-traffic areas. "The stores in secondary locations will continue to struggle until the economy returns," she said.
While the newest projects move forward, Washougal planners have not received any proposals to redevelop other space in the downtown core, said Mitch Kneipp, the city's interim community development director.
He said the city has not pressured Lone Wolf to complete the projects it still has listed on the city's drawing board.
"Unfortunately, a lot of businesses have had to wait and see," Kneipp said.

Might get more responses if you make it a private poll.
EDIT -- Or...you might get a ton of responses just the way it is. Bad call on my part, I guess.

I've been sliding to disliking him. Love what he has done for fund raising and facilities.
But wins in the major sports has gotten even worse than it was before - which just isn't good.

I support him but my level of confidence in him has gone down in recent months.
I voted "don't like, under 30" but it's not like I wish the guy ill-will. I do support him, I just don't have much faith at this point.
From a marketing and fundraising standpoint, JP has been the best AD ISU has ever had. Unfortunately, when you look at the biggest decisions JP has made, they haven't turned out very well.
-Mac to Chizik to Rhoads: We all have a soft spot for Mac and we will never forget what he did for this program, but a change did need to be made. I still think Chizik was a phenomenal hire, but none of us could have predicted his ineptitude on the sidelines and his quick departure after only two years. I really like everything I've seen out of PR so far. Great coordinator hires, positive attitude and decent recruiting. We'll find out more this fall.
-Replacing Morgan with McDermott: For every star that Morgan brought to this program, he also brought 3 knuckleheads. He probably was let go too soon, but JP saw the chance to get McD, who was one of the hottest coaches in the nation and he took. McD's tenure has been marked by bizarre defections and patchwork recruiting as a result. I do think he is finally figuring out what it takes to succeed at this level, but once again, this coming season will tell us what we need to know.
-Cael: I really don't know how much of this ties into JP. Cael said this was strickly about money and "a better opportunity", but that's a very hard thing for me to buy. I do like Jackson though.
I still think JP has made the right hires, but they've not panned out well. I like who we have now, but I think I speak for most ISU fans when I say, we all expect results in FB, MBB and wrestling in '09-'10.
Ok, here is a good question. What has JP done for ISU? Nothing good, that is for sure

Stumble It!
Humpty-Dumpty, a sarcastic poem hitting out at corporate greed and the Wall Street economic crisis by Australian poet Graeme King.
So, Humpty
Dumpty's hit the deck once more,
and this
time it's an omelette we all share,
the King
won't help, these days he's crying poor,
no wonder
Mother Hubbard's cupboard's bare...
The horses
have been sold to make the glue
the men will
need to fix the broken Wall,
our future
looks a sullen shade of blue
and all
because of Humpty Dumpty's fall.
They watched
him climb and chortled with neglect,
million-dollar pats upon the back,
our nest egg
– so tumescent and erect,
dollar's such an aphrodisiac!
But then we
heard the crack of eggs again,
so now the
King will beg for special powers,
the Court is
angry, makes him feel the pain,
we know
they'll pay, they money's really ours!
The mess
will all be vacuum cleaned away,
with plaster
on the Wall to hide the cracks,
no matter of
the massive bill to pay,
no problem
there – they simply raise the tax!
So, Humpty
Dumpty isn't finished yet,
patch him up and force him to succeed,
up on the
Wall without a safety net,
held upright
– by our prayers and corporate greed.

We offer you everything and more with your all inclusive Mexico Vacation. Whether you're looking for five-star accommodations in the Mayan Riviera, or budget all inclusive resorts on the west coast, you can do all your research and booking online and we always have the best price!
Mexico is a vast and diverse country, stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean and from the southwestern United States to Central America. Naturally, our vacation packages are equally diverse and can include as much, or as little, as suits your needs.
It's important to consider what you need in an ideal vacation when choosing your Mexican destination. If you're interested in history, we might suggest that you consider the Mayan Riviera, one of the most popular Mexican destinations over the past several years. In addition to fabulous all inclusive resorts overlooking the azure seas of the Caribbean, you'll be a short drive from some very impressive remnants of the Mayan civilization which must be seen to be fully appreciated.
If you are more interested in deep sea fishing, we might suggest a vacation package near Puerto Vallarta, where the waters are known for their marlin, dorado and giant yellow fin tuna. There is also great sport fishing off the coast of Puerto Aventuras, which is another very popular vacation package destination to consider.
Mexico is also loved by Golfers and with little wonder. We offer hundreds of vacation packages that feature championship golf courses nearby or even at resort; some of these even include green fees right in the cost of your all inclusive package.
Perhaps Cancun in more your style, Cancun is our featured destination: Cancun is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Mexico and the world. Its superb location, shaped like an island, its year-round mild climate, and its gorgeous, warm and sandy white beaches washed by the Caribbean Sea are ideal for water sports. Cancun also has shopping, carrying everything from handicrafts from all over the country to an impressive array of imported goods.
The waters of the bay sheltered by Isla Mujeres are calm and perfect for surfing, sailing, underwater diving and boat trips; those facing the open surf have stronger currents but are also suitable for fishing and snorkeling. The numerous marinas facilitate this type of activities in both the bay and Laguna Nichupté where we recommend you try kayaking.
Cancun has a first rate tourist infrastructure and services. The most famous hotel chains in the world have combined luxury and comfort with hospitality and all of them offer numerous activities and relaxing spas.
Nightlife in Cancun's hotel zone is extremely varied. You will find some of the largest discotheques in the world and restaurants with some of the world's most famous chefs as well as fast-food outlets. If you are looking for a calmer atmosphere, there are jazz or piano bars, as well as traditional mariachi music.
Cancun has fascinating Mayan remains, as well as a museum displaying pieces from this culture. Its excellent overland and air links will whisk you to some of the most impressive places in the Mayan World in both Quintana Roo and neighboring Yucatán.
Book your all inclusive Mexico vacation with confidence!

It may not have been the best of times to take a vacation; it may not have been the worst either. As a despondent UPA government headed into the general elections in April-May this year, 11 of its Union ministers made 15 personal trips abroad. Of them, six applied to go to evergreen Dubai, including Praful Patel, Milind Deora, Shashi Tharoor, K Rehman Khan, Sharad Pawar and K Suresh.
The UPA ministers who took clearance to travel to places other than Dubai around the time of the polls were Praful Patel (for London, Zurich, May 5-12, and Malaysia, April 16), Sharad Pawar (London, May 1-7), Kapil Sibal (Istanbul, Prague, May 7-14) and Farooq Abdullah (Saudi Arabia, March 9-14).
Then Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh headed out to Dubai for five days just after polling got over (May 24-28). He had earlier gone to the city in January 2-7, the same month that Tharoor made his first visit to Dubai this year. Then Minister of State, External Affairs, E Ahamed was also there that month.
The Indian Express received this data in response to RTI applications seeking information about Union ministers granted clearance by the Ministry of External Affairs and the Prime Ministers Office for travel abroad in their personal capacity this year. There is an off chance that some minister might have cancelled his/her trip even after getting both the required clearances.
While Ajit Singh, Tharoor, Sibal, Rehman Khan and K Suresh confirmed they had travelled abroad, Pawar and Praful Patel did not respond while some ministers could not be contacted. Tharoor said, It was a personal visit to meet my family with no cost to the government at all. All the official approvals and clearances were obtained in advance.
Among those who received clearances from both the MEA and PMO (for a trip to Austria, May 7-13) but didnt travel was Sachin Pilot. Former minister of state, Civil Aviation, K C Venugopal applied for a personal trip to Dubai but then decided not to go. He requested the PMO to clear his proposed visit to Dubai and Turkey in April 22-26 but later withdrew the application. PMO said his proposal not processed as formal proposal and political clearance not received.

I wonder what they've done to address the vertigo issues that most past studies have cited as obstacles to flying wing passenger service, along with the egress and other safety issues. It's tempting to say: "This has been done before", but these people are far too smart to be dismissed out of hand like that. I am sure there is some really innovative ideas in there. I can't wait to see this.

Bitter bomber
Sports | What do baseball fans-and even the man's teammates and reporters-have against Barry Bonds?
While the fans at San Francisco's SBC Park cheered lustily on Sept. 17 as Barry Bonds belted a high breaking ball into the opposite field bleachers, from the field Barry Bonds's 700th home run appeared much like his 699th. No mob of teammates awaited the San Francisco slugger at home plate when he joined one of sports' most exclusive clubs. Only teammate J.T. Snow, who watched the historic blast from the on-deck circle, greeted Mr. Bonds at the plate.
What do baseball fans-and even the man's teammates and reporters-have against Barry Bonds? The Giants slugger is a family man, carrying on press conferences with one of his young children by his side. He's active with charities, donating to literacy and scholarship programs and even giving $100,000 to a 9/11 victims' fund. Steroid questions notwithstanding, he's never been accused of abusing alcohol or drugs. He's never tossed a folding chair into the stands.
But that doesn't keep fans, teammates, and the media from harboring some animus. Joining Babe Ruth and Henry Aaron as the only men with more than 700 home runs should be the ticket into most fans' hearts. But not if they think he's a cheat. Mr. Bonds testified to a grand jury about his involvement with the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative. Greg Anderson, Mr. Bonds's personal trainer and longtime friend, was one of four who have been indicted as being a part of a steroid distribution ring. A Gallup poll conducted at the start of the season revealed 64 percent of baseball fans believed Mr. Bonds used performance-enhancing drugs. Only 19 percent said they believed the San Francisco outfielder had nothing to do with the BALCO steroid scandal. Teammates, too, have been critical of Mr. Bonds. Former Giants second baseman Jeff Kent famously ripped his San Francisco teammate in an interview with Sports Illustrated during a pennant race, calling him a lousy teammate who cared only for himself. The Giants slugger would, of course, have plenty of opportunities to rehabilitate his image. That takes talking to the media, something he famously avoids.
The six-time National League Most Valuable Player has always delivered on the field. It's Mr. Bonds's political skills that need refinement. Imagine either George W. Bush or John F. Kerry conducting interviews with their backs to reporters as Mr. Bonds did last May when he buried his nose in his locker. "You can't get in my head," the New York Post recorded a surly Mr. Bonds as saying during a rare interview. "All you guys want to do is bring up all the dirt you can possibly bring. Ninety-nine percent of it ain't true. It's all nasty. The media has changed the game, people's perceptions of the game." But who changed people's perception of Barry Bonds?
Legal football
Was that a football game or CNBC's Power Lunch? NFL Sunday broadcasts on Fox look a lot more like weekday stock market reports than a sporting event. Several lines of fantasy football stats and league scores crawl at the bottom of the screen. At the top, boxes flash with scores several times every minute.
Recently the NFL often has tried to be something that it's not. ABC's Monday Night Football wasn't just the football event of the week, it was comedy hour with Dennis Miller. After the network canned Mr. Miller, it brought in John Madden, who brings an unintentional brand of humor. Fantasy football games created an audience dying to know who caught the Colts fourth touchdown catch and whether it put him over 100 yards for the game, or just under (it could make a fan's day).
It's no surprise the game on the field is different too. Officials aren't the only ones throwing flags. Coaches too have red beanbags to throw on the field to appeal a judgment to a higher court. Yes, football imitates the legal system, too. After considering the evidence, the striped one explains in paragraph form (sometimes a full opinion) whether he was right the first time. The L in NFL might as well stand for litigation.
Around the Horn
- Something's afoot in the SEC. South Carolina football walk-on Tim Frisby has a well-earned nickname: Pops. At 39, the former Army Ranger is the oldest college football player anyone can remember. Mr. Frisby saw four plays' worth of action at the end of the Gamecocks win over Troy State. He wasn't nervous, he said. He's a veteran of the Gulf War and Kosovo. Meanwhile, Mississippi State's unlikely loss to Maine in September may lead to a geography lesson. "I didn't even know they had a college in Maine," said Bulldogs fullback Darnell Jones. "Really. Nobody talks about the state of Maine."
- It's something like the brushback pitch, the hard foul when a player drives the lane, or the love tap a defensive tackle gives a quarterback after he throws the ball. NASCAR's Robbie Gordon says he isn't proud of what he did when he gently nudged Greg Biffle's car into a spinout at New Hampshire International Speedway. He also says he's disappointed the wreck he caused also scuttled Tony Stewart and Jeremy Mayfield's cars. Both drivers were in contention for the Nextel Cup before the crash.
- Veteran NFL coach Dennis Green sees big things in his Arizona Cardinals future. Nevermind that the Cardinals started the season with three losses and have struggled to find a running game. His team just needs to figure out one thing: Mr. Green's offense. "That's a shame because system-wise and style-wise this is probably the best offense in the National Football League right now. It is hard to believe we created it and don't know how to run it."

In Memory of
Beatrice (Bellita) Garcia
(Beatriz Garcia)
April 27, 1914 - July 31, 2011
BEATRICE GARCIA - "BELLITA" age 97, of Fullerton, Ca departed this life to be with the Lord on July 31, 2011. She was born in Mission, Texas on April 27, 1914 to Graciano Gutierrez and Paula Cantu. As a young adult she devoted herself to studying the Word of God and became a teacher and leader. She was a wonderful seamstress and enjoyed using this talent sewing dresses for her family and friends.
She married Patricio Garcia on May 12, 1940. After the accidental death of their two young children Ruben and Ramiro, in 1946, they consecrated their lives without reservation to the work of the Lord. Sister Bellita served in several positions of leadership in the women's auxiliary group, the "Dorcas" serving in positions of secretary, treasurer and vice president from 1949 through 1964. Bro Pat and Sister Bellita have been recognized as Pioneers of the Apostolic church and were well loved by everyone.
Together they worked in the ministry of the Apostolic Church in Yuma, Az, and Edinburg, Texas. In 1953 they moved to Los Angeles, Ca where they continued to serve the Lord in ministry and established several churches where the Lord gave them much fruit. They also worked full-time in a wheel shop to help support the family. They celebrated 65 years of marriage in May of 2005. In September of 2005 Rev. Patricio was called to be with the Lord. Together they ministered over 45 years, well into their 80's. Even in her 90's she was conducting a once-a-week Bible study, for 3 years, at the Senior Center in Placentia. She was a woman of prayer and great faith and gave her love freely to everyone she met.
Surviving children: Ruben, Elizabeth, and Alice: 9 Grandchildren: Eddie, Stephen, Tim, Trisha, Rick, David, Alan, Leslie, and Kristy: and 4 great grand-children; Jake, Allison, Katlyn and Kimberly.
