Towering Kate Spade Billboard of Bryce Dallas Howard in Soho
Wow this ad is GORGEOUS! Puts me in a "New York State of Mind"
First they got 29-year-old actress Bryce Dallas Howard to be the face, then they got Norman Jean Roy to be the photog, and now Kate Spade has a gigantic swath of wall above Soho hosting their first celebrity-featuring ad campaign ever.
Bryce, the flame-haired daughter of director Ron Howard, stars in the Spring 2011 spread, which commands three stories at the corner of Broome and Lafayette Streets. Here she plays the role of the perky and preppy Kate Spade girl, which counters her current film role as a cat-like, revenge-seeking vampire in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

How to Stop Being an Emo
If you feel like your emo style is no longer you, but just an act you put on to feel like you conform, its time to leave the sub genre. Follow these steps to get on the road to finding your true self and stop being emo.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Stay away from the color black. Find new shops to buy your accessories in. Sell your clothes/makeup on eBay or give them to charity.
2Change your makeup. Stop wearing a lot of eyeliner. If you still want to wear eyeliner, try something close to your skin tone and don't put a whole lot on. Use a slight blush, and a concealer that isn't three times lighter than your skin tone. Finally, take all black nail varnish off your nails.
3Buy some new clothes. Stop wearing skinny jeans and wear boot cut jeans instead. Also for shirts don't wear any checkered shirts just wear plain coloured tops such as blue, green, yellow, etc. Don't wear too much black. Take off sweat bands and plastic bangles. Stop wearing converse/vans. You can start wearing plimsolls, trainers or boots. Don't wear any chains on your trousers/pants. Wear every colour (unless you don't like it) and don't wear all dark colours.
4Change your hairstyle. Have your hair cut, and choose a hairstyle that doesn't have as many layers, and maybe get rid of your fringe. If your hair is dyed black, warm it up by dyeing it a warm brown. This will make your face look healthier. Or you can just wait until your hair grows out.
5Experiment with different types of music. Try modern music such as rap, R&B, hip hop or simply just popular music. Stay away from genres such as emotive hardcore and hardcore punk(screamo).
6Overhaul your social network profiles. If you've got any sites such as MySpace, Last.fm & YouTube you can either delete them or use them to find new tastes.
7Consider some new hobbies. Keep up any hobbies you may already have such as reading, writing, hanging out with friends, skating etc. You might want to find new ones such as swimming, football, bench ball, tennis, hockey, rugby, badminton.. etc. Sport is a great way to keep active and fit.
8Be yourself and be happy! You don't need to follow a particular social group. Wear what you personally like and do your hair and makeup the way you think it looks best. That way you can be happy in your own skin.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Slowly fade out of the trend at the speed you faded in.
- If you've been labelling yourself 'emo' people still may call you that, you'll just have to explain to them that it was a phase you went through. It'll be embarrassing but you'll have to say that because they won't stop. Or you can try and wait until they see you've faded the image off.
Things You'll Need
- New clothes
- New shoes
- New music taste
- New make-up / hair do
- New attitude towards certain things
- A free open mind from all labels and sub genres / sub cultures

The Arrested Development story is a TV nerd's dream come true. A smart, quirky, new kind of comedy struggles to attract an audience. Despite being critically acclaimed, the series fails to draw in enough viewers (and playfully mocks its own demise) and gets canned after the third season. Like any movie or show that develops a cult following, the DVD series makes its rounds, being passed around groups of friends like a sacred text. Enter the Netflix era.
On-demand Internet streaming has made it possible to re-watch and share everything from obscure movies to TV shows cancelled before their time. After multiplying its audience via digital rental, rumors of an Arrested Development film or new season buzzed for years. Then Netflix made it a reality, rounding up the entire original main cast, several recurring characters and a slew of new guests (and, yes, there are still plans to make a subsequent movie).
If any beloved-but-cancelled show deserves a revival, it's Arrested Development. The comedy revolves around the Bluth family — a neurotic, criminal, self-centered circus with one beacon of sanity at the helm: Michael (Jason Bateman). In addition to accessible wacky family hijinks, the excellent writing brings out more subtle comedy. The series is full of so many inside jokes and little nuances, you can watch it again and again and still discover new, hilarious bits — which is why the Netflix format is so perfect for this new release.
In this fourth and final season, debuting Sunday, more than seven years after the last season has aired, we'll get to see what every Bluth has been up to — each character gets episodes devoted to his or her story. The season will be available in its entirety at 3 a.m. (or right at the stroke of midnight on Sunday, Pacific time.)
Prepare for the new season with IFC's 24-hour Bluth-a-thon beginning at 6 a.m.
Saturday. Fire up the ol' cornballer, assemble your frozen banana bar and just forget about a normal sleep schedule this weekend — Arrested Development is back.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (Season Finale, 9 p.m., NBC) – In this two-hour finale, a run-of-the-mill (by SVU standards) indecent exposure arrest takes a crazy turn when the detectives are unable to ID the fingerprint-less suspect. The suspect eludes the squad left and right until he corners Benson in a dangerous situation. And never fear: SVU has been renewed for a 15th season.
Modern Family (Season Finale, 9 p.m., ABC) – The gang joins Phil in Florida where he is mourning the death of his mother with his dad (Fred Willard). Gloria discovers she has an outstanding warrant in the state and Cameron gets his Golden Girls on with a group of women in a retirement community. A subsequent fifth season has been confirmed.
The Real World: Portland (10 p.m., MTV) – Bird's boyfriend visits; Nia "overfeeds" Daisy the dog, and you know the bitch does it on purpose.
Showville (Series Premiere, 9 p.m., AMC) – AMC takes another stab at quirky reality shows (see Small Town Security) with this traveling talent show competition. Each week, actor/comedian Alec Mapa and choreographer Lisette Bustamante visit a different all-American town looking for local talent. After auditions and two days of training, one performer will be selected by the community and awarded $10,000.
Small Town Security (10 p.m., AMC) – Irwin tries to secretly sell Chief's Mustang as she deals with her anger issues; Brian takes Crista on a stakeout.
Hannibal (10 p.m., NBC) – Last week, the human cello; next up: a totem pole of bodies. Oh, Hannibal, you so crazy!
Maron (10 p.m., IFC) – Learning about his ex-wife's new baby encourages Marc to jump back in the dating pool. With a dominatrix.
Behind the Candelabra (9 p.m., HBO) – The epic Sunday night HBO lineup skips a week to make room for this diamond-encrusted film based on the memoir by Scott Thorson, Liberace's former lover. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, Michael Douglas stars as the piano man with Matt Damon playing the much-younger Thorson. The movie focuses on their unlikely relationship and its ultimate demise.
Mad Men (10 p.m., AMC) – Rodger has a recurring dream; Joan hits the beach. I'd like to promise some Christina Hendricks bikini action, but judging by recent episodes, it's probably more dark and depressing than fun and sexy.

CA3 on Breach of Employment Contract Claim and H1B Visa Sponsorship
The Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held in a Breach of Employment Contract matter that an employer's H1B sponsorship for up to three (3) years does not imply guaranteed employment for the visa's duration. The Court did not find any genuine dispute of material fact supporting the employee's claim that he had an express employment contract for a definite term.

Zac Efron arrived in a boat for the 69th annual Venice Film Festival! He is in Italy for the screening of his latest film At Any Price, starring alongside Dennis Quaid.
The 24-year-old has come a long way since his debut on the hit movie High School Musical. Efron left television to play more mature roles, one being his role in Nicholas Sparks' The Lucky One. The actor reveals that it took a lot of training to play a U.S. marine, but that it was a wonderful opportunity to spend time with real Marines and Navy SEALS.

God Strikes Down Communist Hugo Chavez, In 'Critical Condition'
Once again the power of prayer has been revealed after announcements from mourning Cubans that Venezuelan death dictator Hugo Chavez has been stricken down with critical condition.
Reports indicate that he has Gay Bowel Sydrome, a disease caught by gays. It varies in severity and for Chavez, it seems to have hit him right in the pancreas. Looks like one of his Mexican boy toys had GBD!
A homonculus tumor likely settled in there, raising the question of Castro's love for oil and bedroom nasties. Was he also letting a woman fingle a vibrating sinshaker in her hooha and then his bowels, a sick act followed by a hot, jungle night of tropical sex and exotic release? This would explain how the egg got into his prostate region, where a homonculus was then embedded in it when a gay released in him back there and now, months later, it is a tumor in their known as Gay Bowel Disease IV classification.
You can tell the illness is taking a toll on him. Glory!
Look at how his communist grandfather Fidel Castro has to keep a hold to his left arm, to keep him from fainting! News reports from sources outside our own corroborate this glorious development and we will tell you where the celebration is when Fidel and Castro fall, a joyous day for humanity indeed.

Chavez is a horrible dictator who is brutalizing his people. Their is terrible poverty and starvation in Venezuela right now and this man is primarily to blame. He is also profoundly corrupt. Death would be too good for a sadist like this.

Shannon, might I suggest you consult a medical practitioner before spewing forth such rash statements. The only study of bowel movements you are qualified to comment upon is the smearing of excrement in your vile Pagan ceremonies. Your misguided knowledge serves only to make you look foolish. I only hope that somewhere your parents are kneeling in obeisance to The Lord and praying for your salvation, and not huddled in their house crying over mistakes they made that put you on this evil path.

Well actually I am very qualified to speak on the subject because I am a certified nursing assistant, and a certified mental health technician, so I believe I am much more qualified that you to speak on this matter.

Praise or Condemn: 1 0
Yea you know people change careers all the time, that is all that I am doing, I found something I enjoy a hell of a lot better than the nursing field. I enjoyed the helping people, and being there when they needed someone, but the stress was just to much for me, so I am moving on to something I like better, that is all it is. There is no one's hand in my fait but my own.

I think it is important to teach the young about communism and how it can deform values and leave the hard working individual empty handed.
Every year I would take the children to a 'pick-it-yourself' farms have them work 12 hours in the sun with scant water and no bathroom facilities. Then I made them give it all away to the undeserving at no cost.
As a result they have learned valuable lessons about capitalism. By marketing the practice (at $150 a participant) to tea-parents as a fun "Kids' Commie Cotillion" and selling the fruit at a 200% markup, they've used the profits to purchase stocks to expand their portfolios.
Kids need to learn its not okay to be communist.

Guest feature by Mike Gustafson
One evening on Twitter, 18-year-old Danielle Jennette, a senior on the King's Fort High School swim team in Suffolk, Va., was joking around with friends about who she would take to her prom. They were all naming names. She couldn't decide who she wanted to go with. Then, it hit her.
"I told myself, 'I want to bring Ryan Lochte,'" the affable Jennette said over the phone a few days ago. "I don't want it to be a dream."
It's one thing to sit back and declare intention to bring a multiple-Olympic gold medalist to your senior prom. It's another thing to actually do it. So, Jennette formulated a social media campaign: She started a Twitter account (@RyanLochteProm). She started a Facebook page (Ryan Lochte will you go to prom with me?). And she got the ball rolling.
At first, it started out slowly. She only had 30 followers on Twitter. People didn't take her that seriously — they thought she was crazy. Then, one day, the Suffolk News Herald ran an article about her campaign to bring Ryan Lochte to prom. That's when things started getting actually crazy.
"When the first article came out from the Suffolk News Herald, that's when it started to escalate," Jennette said. "My coach thought it was crazy. My parents thought it was crazy. My friends thought it was crazy. Now they are thinking, 'Wow, this could actually happen.'"
Jennette created a YouTube video that features classmates, friends, and total strangers holding up signs urging Ryan Lochte to go to prom with Jennette. (She got more than 40 signs and pieces of art total.)
She was featured on local TV. She gets messages from strangers who support her efforts to get The Lochtenator to reach out. After swimming four years on her high school swim team, Lochte is one of Jennette's sports idols.
"I didn't know much about the Olympics. I saw Ryan swim and I just thought he was fast. Then this summer, I know how hard swimming is being a swimmer for three years," Jennette said. "After I saw him swim, I said, 'Man, what an inspiration. It's amazing he can swim that fast.'"
She was hooked. She was a Lochte fan. And, like many high school seniors around the country, she'd love to take one of the world's most popular athletes to her biggest dance of her high school career. The story itself like something from a movie. But this campaign is not simply about getting Ryan Lochte to go to senior prom. Jennette has begun fundraising for Ryan's favorite charity, Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy. Her goal is to raise $2,013 — the same year of her senior prom. So far, she has raised $300. (You can donate here.)
"My swim team is going to do a fundraiser. We're going to raise more money for that charity," Jennette said. "So even if Ryan doesn't go to prom with me, we'll still raise money for charity. It will be an amazing experience."
So far, Jennette hasn't heard from Lochte. In fact, she's never heard from him, except once back in October on her birthday when Ryan Tweeted a happy birthday message to her. That's when she first thought that communication was possible with him. But she's hoping that will soon change.
"It would just make my entire high school career, let alone be a great ending to my senior year. The reaction when he walks in and people's faces, 'Wow, he actually showed up.'"
It's every high schooler's dream to take a celebrity to senior prom. But what distinguishes Danielle Jennette from others is not only her easy-going, friendly nature, but her appreciation that even if Ryan Lochte is too busy with his busy schedule to find time to go to her senior prom, some good can come from the attention and campaign. She's raising money for Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy. She's organizing a fundraiser. She's doing more than most of us, all just to create some good in this world.
Wouldn't it be great if something good — like Ryan Lochte unexpectedly showing up in a full white tuxedo and limousine on May 24, 2013 — happened in return to Danielle?
When I asked Danielle what she would say if Ryan actually called her, she got excited. I could hear her smiling on the other side of the phone. She paused a moment, then collected herself:
"I would say, 'Ryan would you be my escort to my senior prom?'"

Ryan Lochte had to decline the invitation, but made the effort to send a special note and flowers!

Rob, a few moments ago I was just referring to such engine maps which I termed as lunch control/traction control on the Domenicali/FERRARI needs Red Bull performance page, maps which are being used to conserve tyre life.

What is this business?!?!
Keep your spirits up. It's 45 and sunny here in Omaha today, so the "warm"er weather is heading your way. I promise!
LOL…there is still 6 inches of snow on the ground here. I think the high for today is 20 and that is the warmest it has been since we moved here!

Liquor Board reverses on medical marijuana, recommends patient home grows
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Wed, December, 18th 2013 by THCFinder
The state Liquor Control Board has changed its tune on allowing medical marijuana patients to grow their own cannabis. It does now recommend patients be allowed to grow up to 6 plants for personal use.
"Allow home grows and the ability for a qualified patient or designated provider to possess marijuana plants. A qualified patient or designated provider may possess 6 plants, 3 flowering and 3 nonflowering," the board writes in its new list of recommendations for creating a new state-guided medical marijuana system. (You can read the entire document below.)
However, the recommendations also call for the elimination of collective gardens, the backbone of the current medical marijuana market.
Collective gardens allow several patients to grow plants that can be harvested for themselves and others who are members of the collective but not themselves growers. The growers then can be reimbursed for their expenses, thus creating the current controversial "store fronts" that sell marijuana to patients with medical cards for "contributions."
The Washington Legislature – which ordered the Washington State Liquor Control Board and other agencies to come up with the recommendations – will make the actual laws creating this new system, using these recommendations or coming up with new ones.
Outcry followed initial recommendations
In the first draft of recommendations, the board's staff had recommended that home-growing be disallowed and all legal marijuana in the state come from the I-502 system. The old recommendation had also wanted to end the ability of qualified patients or designated providers to possess marijuana plants in any stage of growth.

Everyone will be sure to enjoy something as dank as this, with both cannabis and chocolate in it, there's no going wrong with this dessert!
What You'll Need;
145 g soft white breadcrumbs
225 g cannabis butter
6 eggs, separated into yolks and whites
4 tsp vanilla essence
225 g dark chocolate
120 g ground almonds
345 g caster sugar, plus an extra pinch
30 g plain flour
And for the icing, you'll need;
170 g caster sugar
225 g icing sugar
6 tbsp water
85 g cocoa powder
130 g cannabis butter
Preheat your over to 320 degrees. Pregrease a normal sized cake tin. We'll start with the cake and do the icing second. First, melt the chocolate in a bowl placed over a pan of boiling water.

The icing is made by sieving the cocoa and the icing sugar in to a bowl. Warm the cannabutter, water, and sugar in the microwave until the sugar dissolves. Add this mix to the dry substance and beat together until the mixture becomes thick. Spread the icing over the cooled caked and add sprinkles if you'd like!

Marijuana Used To Treat Opiate Withdrawal Symptoms
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Tue, December, 17th 2013 by THCFinder
When someone first reads the title of this article, I'm sure that the first thought they have is "you can't treat an addiction to drugs with other drugs". But then what do you call methadone and suboxone? Those are two drugs that are used to treat patients with an opiate addiction. These two drugs by themselves have more negative side effects than the drugs they're supposed to be preventing. Not only that but the risk of dependency on these "helpful" treatments.
Cannabis has been found to dull the symptoms of withdrawal that people feel when quitting opiates. There was a study done at the Laboratory for Physiopathology of Diseases of the Central Nervous System that injected morphine addicted rodents with THC, showing suppressed behavioral, molecular, and biochemical dependance. The researchers said that cannabis should be looked at as a treatment for the symptoms of heroin/morphine withdrawal symptoms. The following is a quote from a heroin addict that used marijuana to treat their addiction;
"The marijuana helped me to sleep and eat and provided strength to continue detoxification. With the help of marijuana, I weaned myself off methadone in about four months. To this day I have continued to smoke marijuana, about three cigarettes per day and have never felt the desire to return to either heroin or methadone. My conclusion, based on this experience, is that marijuana is a potent medicine in the treatment of withdrawal from both heroin and methadone."
In addition, patients who are given cannabis to treat their withdrawal are more apt and compliant with the treatment that they go through. The cannabis using patients had an easier time getting themselves in order after fighting addiction, instead of remaining dependent on the drug and the drug that was supposed to treat it. If cannabis can be used to get people away from heroin and opiates, then we should really be using it for that particular purpose. Slowly, doctors are realizing the endless benefits of this plant and hopefully, the dangerous drugs used to treat addiction can be replaced with cannabis.
What are you smoking on?

Knitting & TV & SUNSHINE!
All of you are correct of course, relaxing is essential and I need to get back in practice. Something else that goes with relaxing and fun fibery things is TV! Miss that too. I got a DVR so I can record some stuff and schedule some knitting time in front of the tube. Any new shows out there that are worth checking out? I was addicted to House but it went a bit odd with the whole new team thing and I haven't been such a fan.
On the knitting front, I cast on for the first sleeve to "V" but did something weird so I frogged and started over, hopefully I'll get some progress this week maybe.
On the happy front, my land lady was in town this week for her grandson's wedding. I was very very happy today when they stopped by and helped me out with a few things that I hadn't been able to fix by myself. Sometimes the simplest things - like the blinds on the living room window (big big window) got stuck when I put them up to open the windows. I never could get them down again so I put paper over the window for privacy. Just wasn't "enough" to bother them about. Well as a few more things occured I felt it was ok to ask and they fixed the blinds too! It was one of the nicest fall days in Michigan with lots of sunshine and having the paper off the windows and letting the sun shine in was WONDERFUL!!! Woodstock happy dances!!!!
And while I know my landlady also happens to be Majorie's mom, it didn't connect that the wedding was her son's, I'm a little slow sometimes and out of touch blog wise. Congrats to Marjorie, have to scope the blog to see what's up :)
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend too.

Fall, Work, and Fear
I work too much plain & simple and I love my job but it takes alot in this economy to make sure I keep it. Did I mention I'm in Michigan, single, and dealing with the highest unemployment rates in the country while working in the financial industry??? Yeah, I think you get why I've been scared and working too much.
The BIG BUT - with fall starting all I really want to do is make things like homemade soups, roasts, etc. Things that use the oven I haven't wanted to turn on during the hot months and filling the house with all of those wonderful home cooking smells for hours while I curl up with a fiber project in front of the fire. I'm going to try to do that occasionally and sneek some peeks at what everyone else is up to. We'll see how it goes.
During my hiatus I have also lost about 25lbs - working all those hours did have side benefits. I feel great but all of my WIP's are going to be too big and it's not very motivational to pick them up again right now. So in an attempt to get back in some fibery balance I ordered a kit for "V" from Spunky Eclectic awhile back in a hand dyed colorway of Amy's that I have always admired. With my limited time and not being a speedy knitter, I wanted a simpler knit and "V" is a great replacement for the boring sweatshirts that haunt my winter wardrobe. I've not actually knit a basic sweater other than Kepler and that was my first cabling experience. Boring for many of you but I find stockinette in a colorway I love to be very soothing and it fits my time contraints.
I'll see what I can do for balance. I've been kicked out of all the fiber rings so I guess I'm free to post whatever and whenever I can. I miss knitting. I miss spinning. I miss this. But I miss all of you the most.
ETA - Pics & Links
Happy fall ya'll :-) And a very Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends!
The overworked and overstressed - but definitely trying to fix that,

We'll take a look at the prefix behavior. As to the btl, you can always just force it: for example, -mca btl sm,self,openib would restrict it to shared memory and IB.

Natural Attractions and a Diversity of Wildlife
Crystal Clear Waters and Postcard-Perfect Scenery
At the heart of Southeast Asia, Thailand, the "Land of a Thousand Smiles," is a country proud of its unique culture and famous worldwide for its cuisine. Thailand also offers miles of tropical beaches, lush rainforests, exhilarating cultural attractions and excellent scuba diving. With the Gulf of Thailand on the east and the Andaman Sea on the west, diving opportunities include fringing reefs, deep drop-offs, wrecks, walls, caverns, tunnels, pinnacles or open ocean seamounts. The Gulf of Thailand offers divers an amazing range of diving destinations. The beautiful island of Koh Tao, along with the pristine islands of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, are must-visit dive destinations. Located in the north of the gulf region are the popular destinations of Pattaya and the unspoiled island of Koh Chang. These locations are world famous dive destinations with access to a range of different sites to suit divers of all levels. Many divers begin their adventures in Phuket, as some of the top Andaman Sea dive sites are within easy reach on a day trip or live-aboard. Khao Lak is fast becoming a favorite for many divers and Phi Phi Island is also a popular destination in this region with easily accessible dive sites to explore. The south-western coastal town of Krabi is the jumping off point for the enchanting Koh Lanta archipelago, as well as stunning Koh Lipe. Thailand is an amazing dive destination and there's a lot to explore underwater in this tropical paradise.

Locate a PADI Dive Shop in Thailand
Visibility – Visibility is generally good throughout the country and averages around 30 metres/100 feet.
Water Temperature – A pleasant 28-30° C/82-86° F year-round.
Weather – Its tropical location ensures that Thailand has a hot and humid climate year-round. The country is warm and wet during the May to September monsoon, then dries out from November to mid-March. Air temperatures range from 30–35°C/85-95°F. The diving is typically good all year, but the Gulf of Thailand is at its peak from May through September while the best diving is from October through April in the Andaman Sea.
Featured Creatures – Typical Indo-Pacific reef fish and critters are well represented and there's a good chance you will see morays, puffers, triggers and Moorish idols, as well as mantas, leopard sharks and possibly whale sharks.
Recommended Training – Thailand is a great destination to learn to dive with the PADI Open Water Diver course. If you are already PADI certified, look to take the PADI Enriched Air, PADI Deep Diver and PADI Drift Diver courses so you're prepared for diving the many pinnacles and walls across this destination. The PADI Wreck Diver course is a natural if you plan to dive any of Thailand's amazing wrecks.

We all took the 1230 ferry across to St Raphael. This is very simple: it leaves from the quay outside the 'new port' (the marina for ordinary sized boats), and you pay on board. (?'?13 one way, ?'?22 return). It wasn't particularly crowded, although the jetty itself is rather a scrum.
In St Raphael, you get a bus to Nice airport. The maps of the town, including the one displayed outside the TIC, show the Gare Routiere (bus station) outside the Gare SNCF. Hah! That's been demolished and is still being rebuilt. The bus station is back down at the Vieux Port, on the opposite side from the ferry.
Even with that diversion Fiona and Melanie caught the 1400 airport express with ease, and we got a text confirming their safe arrival in London. They managed to collect the full set: boat (x3), bus, plane, train (DLR) and tube.
We caught the ferry back, brought a few provisions in the local little supermarket and treated ourselves to drinks in the Hotel Sube. The first floor bar is bang in the middle of the Vieux Port quayside, but remarkably quiet, and has fabulous yacht photos all around the walls. Definitely the best place for a drink in the tawdry vulgarity that marks most of the town.
Our plan now is to wait out the south-westerly (blowing as we write this on Wednesday afternoon), which would give us a beat to the Lies adhere. If the forecasts are right, we will head back to Port Man tomorrow for a last weekend at anchor. From there, on Monday we will sidle round to Plage de la Courtade, where we will ring the port in Toulon to see if our high hopes of a berth there are confirmed. If they are, we will tie up next week in our winter berth, before returning to the UK for Sarah to start her temporary job in South London on 2 September. That will mark the end of 18 months in which we have spent all but three travelling, and allow us to replenish our depleted coffers.
|Places and people
We finally found a spot in this busy anchorage, about a kilometre east of the entrance to the port of St Tropez. The anchorage is full of super yachts, and quite deep. So far it's been very comfortable, save for wash, though it is quite open to the north east.
Fiona and Melanie invited us out for dinner, to celebrate Sarah's birthday. We went to a good Provencal restaurant called Table du Marche in Rue Georges Clemenceau, and can thoroughly recommend it! We were very full, as well as enjoying cocktails and two excellent bottles of wine. Unaccustomed luxury: thanks to the two of them.
We also discovered that there is a water taxi in St Tropez (not mentioned in the Pilot book, possibly because it's ?'?40 every trip, though the boat can take about 8 people.) Ring on 06 12 40 28 05. Pretty good English spoken. This took the worry out of a potential trip home in Bridget in the dark, and gave us unaccustomed rides in very fast ribs, which were great fun.
On Tuesday morning, there were candles in the fresh baguettes to accompany a very nice bottle of champagne - a great way to start the day!
|Places and people
From Theoule, we needed a landfall from which Fiona and Melanie could get back to Nice airport for their flight on Tuesday afternoon. A call to the Office de Tourisme confirmed this was possible from St Tropez, taking the ferry to St Raphael and the bus from there. Cap Dramont, just west of the Rade d'Agay was the decision point.
When we got to that point, the cruising chute was up, pulling beautifully, the wind was on the beam, and we couldn't get any answer out of the marinas at St Raphael. Pip made some very good sandwiches and an excellent champagne cocktail, and we headed across the Golfe. It was a splendid sail; only about 12 miles, but we went like the clappers with the cruising chute set well, making a steady six knots. Pip and Melanie took the opportunity to snooze, while Sarah & Fiona tweaked sails, talked navigation and had a fab time.
The champagne cocktail, incidentally, was a variation on our Port St Louis favourite, and has been christened Soupe de Champagne Chinoise. It uses fizzy lychee liqueur in place of the more usual Cointreau.
|Life on Roaring Girl
Queen and Abba booming on deck gave us a good time. After a meal we went ashore to sample to bars of Theoule. A slight petrol oversight meant we rowed back, giggly in the dark to where Roaring Girl lay in absolute calm under the sheltering hills.
|Life on Roaring Girl
After lunch the wind had freshened and we only used the engine to power the windlass, sailing neatly down the rest of the channel to the west. Our original intention was to go to Rade d'Agay, at the foot of the Esterel Massif. However, the wind was hard on the nose and kicking up a little swell. As both our visitors, unused to the cradling touch of the Middle Sea, had felt a touch of discomfort from earlier swell, we turned away and headed back to our old anchorage of Theoule. Even so, on a close reach, we tucked in a reef (that new sail giving significant extra drive) and a few furls in the genoa, for a comfortable, and fast hour west-north-west across the Golfe de la Napoule.
Here our visitors had a thorough chill-out.
|Life on Roaring Girl
From Antibes, with very little wind, we motorsailed round Cap d'Antibes to the Iles Lerin. From the eastern end, we sought the passage between Ile St Marguerite and Ile St Honorat. Off the end of Ile St Marguerite is the Ile de la Tradeliere, site of notable Roman wrecks. You can see why: this low-lying saw-toothed rack of rocks barely deserves the name of island. It's not well marked: unless we knew the waters =we wouldn't come this way in the dark.
Once past it, however, the narrow channel between the islands is well marked (though we didn't see any lights on the buoys.) The channel at one point is only 6m deep. Many yachts are anchored outside, it, especially to the north side, and we ourselves found a spot in 11m of water. It was very full, being the Sunday lunchtime of a bank holiday weekend, and there was quite a bit of wash, but we all swam and enjoyed a great quiche Pip had made the night before.
|Life on Roaring Girl
From Nice we had a pleasant sail west, back to the Anse de la Salis off Antibes. Down went the new Rocna. The first time we don't think we gave it enough time, but it certainly bit the second time. Fiona and Sarah went swimming; the water was cooler than last time we were there, but still had that silkiness peculiar to this bay.
That night we had this amazing sunset over the hills, followed by firework spectaculars in both Antibes and St Laurent.
|Places and people
Many of these traditional boats are painted with designs of all kinds: here with Mediterranean fish. He worked hard, this guy as he must have circled the harbour about four times, rowing all the way.
Melanie took this picture, as she did many more over the next few days.
|Places and people
From Menton, on Thursday, we had another nice sail back towards Nice. We looked at anchoring off St Jean, but again didn't like the feel of the wind. Clearly, we're not fated to spend much time there. Instead, we went back to the Rade for the night, where we anchored comfortably. In the evening the jellyfish went away and we swam, both then and on Friday morning.
We really wanted to get into Nice marina. For one thing, a nasty south westerly was forecast. Secondly, Liz had a plane to catch, and we were meeting Fiona and Melanie from their flight. And thirdly, our new anchor was in their capitainerie.
It took some pleading, some citing of all these circumstances, but the lovely people at Bassin Lympia found us a space, and we tied up just after 1100. Pip took Liz off to the airport (extra time being needed for the buses on a bank holiday), while Sarah tidied up, checked all the lines and made sure everything was secure. As she left, the wind was already blowing 42 knots, kicking up breaking waves inside the marina. Eventually, our neighbours said, they saw over 50 knots, but the boats were all very secure.
By the time we got back with Fiona and Melanie, the storm was over and the traditional pointus boats were able to circle the harbour on time for the celebrations of the Assumption of the Virgin. A big statue of her circled around, along with several other boats, all decked in lovely flowers.
As you can see, big crowds gathered on the opposite dock, including for the Mass celebrated there afterwards. We had pole, if irreligious positions in our own boat, with celebratory glasses of Provencal rose in hand.
|Places and people
They also have these uber-camp sofas. Irresistible!
|Places and people
To the eastern end of Monaco is the relatively new Grimaldi Forum, a purpose built exhibition hall and conference centre, currently housing the huge exhibition about the Queens of ancient Egypt, from the earliest times to the last Cleopatra. It was a fascinating show, pulling together material from all over the world into a dazzling parade of jewellery, religious objects, statues and paintings, all illustrating the real power held by these women.
The Forum has a stonking bar too, overlooking the sea, with these glorious clam shell seats to serve as double thrones.
|Places and people
We walked down to the Port Hercule, the marina in central Monaco. It is as you imagine, full of astonishing superyachts to gawp at, multi-story motorboats filled with luxury. The one comfort obviously not prized by their owners is privacy; they berth stern to, inviting the oohs and aahs of the crowds at their sofas, full-scale trees, multiple satellite domes, heli-pads and so on.
As in St Tropez, many sport versions of the red ensign, with the Cayman Islands and Isle of Man dominating. But you see a few with the sun of the Marshall Islands (Pacific), and several with the blue, yellow and green of St Vincent and the Grenadines (Atlantic Ocean). Of course these big yachts are professionally crewed and travel the world to suit their owner's convenience.

80s Cheeseball in new Gingerclown Trailer
The cheese runs thick in this on purpose 80s throwback, direct from Hungary and starring none other than Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show, IT) as the title character. Add a little Lance Hendrickson (Pumpkinhead, Near Dark, Alien 3), Police Academy's Michael Winslow and horror icon Brad Dourif and we've got an absolute quorum of horror movie awesomeness. I'm not clear when this film will release in the U.S., although IMDb does note a Hungarian release May 9, 2013. In the meantime we can feast on the latest tidbits from this campy and gory film right here.
As a side note, what is it that prompts kids to venture into abandoned carnival horror rides? It never ends well, and even the adventurous would do well to avoid them at all costs.
1983: A group of high school students are having a great time near Hollywood Hills at the weekend when they bump into the Loser from their school, Sam, who's just on his way home. Sam would do anything in order to get Jenny's attention, one of the prettiest girls in school. Unfortunately she's also the girlfriend of the school's bully, Biff, the quarterback of the football team.
Biff and his buddies are keen two take Sam to the old abandoned amusement park to make him prove his courage as part of their initiation ceremony. They involve Jenny in their cruel game as the grand prize of the competition. Sam accepts the challenge, but the girl wouldn't let him go in by himself; she follows him into the amusement parti and a night they'll never forget.
Because in the old park, hidden in the darkness, are frightening and somewhat eccentric monsters who love to torture innocent human beings while intensively annoying each other.

Anyone ever have issues when using Crank Bros Eggbeater pedals with Sidi shoes?
I got some Sidi Dominator 5 shoes and new Eggbeater cleats for them. I have them installed along with the Shoe Shields, (which are taller than the shims,) but the cleat does not engage with the pedal very well. I have to take my time and really push down hard before the cleat clicks into place.
I'm wondering if this is because of the hard plastic tread on the shoes. On my other shoes with an actual rubber tread, the Eggbeater's wings press into the rubber as needed, and everything is fine.

Wanted for wrecking a game: Barca-Arsenal referee
PARIS For Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, the Swiss referee "killed" the match. The language was inflammatory but the sentiment was spot-on.
No ifs or buts, Massimo Busacca ruined one of the most hotly anticipated games of 2011 when he reached for a red card and sent off Robin van Persie in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
"A total joke," the Arsenal striker said of Busacca's lapse of reason. But, really, there is nothing funny about the corrosive damage that such ludicrously poor refereeing decisions have on the enjoyment and credibility of football.
Those of us who think that the sport's rule-makers are wise to resist pressure for video replays to help referees, who believe that part of football's charm is that decisions are left in human hands and made by officials on the pitch, always feel sheepish, naive and deflated when experienced and supposedly astute people like Busacca get basics wrong.
Contested decisions are so frequent in football that the sport seems to live on a razor's edge of never-ending crisis involving referees.
But that suits the suits who govern the game. They thrive off the controversies and debates that keep fans talking. Outrage that Mark Clattenburg did not send off Wayne Rooney for elbowing. Anger that Martin Atkinson was soft on Chelsea defender David Luiz's cynical fouls. Fury against France's Thierry Henry for his cheating hand ball against Ireland that Swedish referee Martin Hansson failed to spot. Venom from Wenger for Busacca's petty by-the-book expulsion of Van Persie.
The perceived injustices in every match help make football a sport of passion and strangely masochistic entertainment. Bad officiating hurts but we always come back for more. How gullible we are. But how sad that referees so often overshadow the skills that players show on the pitch. The focus of Barcelona's 3-1 win over Arsenal should, again, be the artistry of the world's best team, not of a referee's folly.
If video replays did offer real-time help for officials, they would not have made a jot of difference in the case of Van Persie. Deciding whether to send off the Dutchman because he played on after the referee blew his whistle was always going to be a judgment call, which no machine could handle.
Van Persie collected a pass from his captain, Cesc Fabregas. The linesman raised his flag for offside. Busacca blew his whistle. Van Persie either did not hear or ignored it. He took a step and shot waywardly past Barcelona 'keeper Victor Valdes.
Hardly the crime of the century. Yet Busacca ruled that Van Persie deliberately wasted time. With no hesitation, he flashed a yellow card. It was the striker's second of the night. Off he went.
And the match died. With just 10 men against Barcelona's 12 (11 players plus Busacca), resistance became futile for Arsenal.
Busacca could have been smart like Howard Webb at the 2010 World Cup final. Webb refrained from giving a red card to Nigel de Jong after just 28 minutes of play, even though the Dutch midfielder's karate kick on Xabi Alonso warranted it. Proving that even good refereeing cannot satisfy everyone, Webb was subsequently criticized by some for his leniency but congratulated by others for not ruining the showpiece match with an early expulsion. He tried to ensure that the outcome of the game would be decided by the players, not by his decisions - which is what Busacca should have done in Barcelona-Arsenal.
Webb, incidentally, also had a rough time on Tuesday night, in refereeing Shakhtar Donetsk vs. AS Roma. He missed the vicious elbow that Roma captain Daniele De Rossi swung into the jaw of Shakhtar captain Darijo Srna. Making things worse, Webb then showed the protesting Srna a yellow card. Ouch.
